	🌜 6:32am Balthazar B: I wonder what WRWTWW stands for?
	6:33am coelacanth∅: olá Carol
	🌜 6:34am WinksFMU: ↳ Balthazar B @6:32 We Release Whatever The F* We Want Records
	6:35am sm-ll: ↳ WinksFMU @6:34 ha! Perfect. As it should be.
	🌜 6:35am Balthazar B: ↳ WinksFMU @6:34 👌

	6:37am CarolCrow: Morning sm-ll
	6:37am CarolCrow: Good morning Baja Joe in SI.
	6:38am CarolCrow: olá coelacanth∅
	6:38am coelacanth∅: i think most record companies release whatever the Fuck they want; but unfortunately whatever the Fuck they want is whatever formuliac devoid of soul crap they think will make them money.
	6:39am CarolCrow: Good morning Cooh John.
	6:40am dday: Great photo. Magic Hour lighting (Dawn & just b4 dusk). Morning all!
	6:42am sm-ll: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:38 Not all of them :) but yes many have that battle or aim.
	6:50am dday: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:38 Not defending them..but..it's a business , whose aim like most businesses is to make money.Art & commerce is always difficult.
	6:50am Paulo AD: Ello moonlighters :)
	6:50am coelacanth∅: ↳ sm-ll @6:42 obviously! wrwtfww, for instants. in fact i lean toward the majority of what's played on wfmu as being released by labels considerably less capitalistic than that. but all the big ones. (or is there only one now) and certainly the companies that release the dreck that most younger people listen to.
	6:52am CarolCrow: Morning dday!
	6:52am CarolCrow: Ello Paulo AD :)
	6:53am Paulo AD: ↳ CarolCrow @6:52 How have you been Carol??
	6:56am coelacanth∅: dday. no business has to be ruthlessly selfish to survive. a few decades ago warner brothers was releasing crazyass shit that no way would make them rich. atlantic was a soul/r&b/blues label - not going to get rich off that, in the 50s. sire did nothing but take chances. ...(etc) it's a choice made, to forfeit creativity and individualism for the almighty dollar. and worse yet creating a culture of zombies that have no clue how absolutely soulless those computer-generated chord progressions (all 5 of them) are.
	6:56am sm-ll: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:50 I was young a long time ago so not sure haha, but yeah for sure, agree. There was good and bad music when I was young, and good and bad music now.
	6:58am sm-ll: ↳ Song: "A" by "rEAGENZ" Everytime I hear something amazing, it's often in 94/95. Amazing!
	6:58am fred: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:50 Old people are worse. More, not most young people are open to new stuff. We old farts tend to be wrong
	6:58am coelacanth∅: sm-ii absolutely. the ratio is many times worse now, but yeah i always wondered what my piers liked in some of the commercial songs they listened to.
	6:59am TDK60: Good morning, DJ Carol.
	6:59am coelacanth∅: fred, yeah most people are more closed, for sure. but the music industry does aim toward them.
	🌜 7:00am Balthazar B: Capitalism is slavery..there, said it.
	7:01am CarolCrow: @Paulo@6:53: I've been good! Thank you for asking:) How are you holding up?
	7:02am coelacanth∅: ↳ Balthazar B @7:00 can't argue with that!
	7:02am CarolCrow: Good morning, TDK60.
	7:02am Strandlund: Good Sunday Morning, Carol and all the Serious Moonlighters out there listening in...
	7:02am RB: Good morning (A) Carol and (B) Moonakins
	7:03am fred: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:59 Boring people live long, that skews the sample
	🌜 7:04am Balthazar B: ↳ fred @7:03 ;)
	🌜 7:04am 12539: Was that a snippet of Big Country?
	7:04am Pablexa™: ↳ Song: "Gaia's Love Theme" by "Takashi Kokubo & Andrea Es... She's Talking™ Before she plays Big Country
	🌜 7:04am WinksFMU: Did I just hear a Big Country sample? ha
	7:04am HAT OV ELDE: Carol. I never know how to adequately express that your show is the actual soul of FMU. I retype endless subpar versions of this sentiment every time I catch you. This time I’ll just go with this. You define ruling. Thank you.
	🌜 7:04am john_zilla: great first hour!!
	7:05am RB: Happy Mothers Day …. to all the mutha’s
	7:05am Paulo AD: ↳ CarolCrow @7:01 Yeah ticking over thanks. Goi g back home for a weekend in two weeks so looking forward to that. And yes, that is a great picture
	7:06am wenzo got it’s bike back: Waaa?!
	7:07am @Winks: ↳ WinksFMU @7:04 Haha thought so too
	7:07am sm-ll: more love into the world :)
	🌜 7:07am Balthazar B: Gotta stay positive.
	7:08am RB: Bernie , laying it all out there . Telling it like it is .
	7:08am Pablexa™: ↳ Balthazar B @7:07 www.youtube.com...
	7:08am sm-ll: Pluto Press putting out some great books right now.
	7:08am TDK60: I was away from the radio when you mentioned a reading. Can you mention on the chat scroll?
	7:08am Paulo AD: As I've mentioned on a few message boards, currently reading the history of goth. The author was on Mona's show yesterday :)
	7:09am Fredericks: Carol, your bed music is louder than your voice.
	🌜 7:09am Heidee: Wow didn't know that!
	7:10am wenzo got it’s bike back: First time hearing about BS’s new book… great title!
	🌜 7:11am WinksFMU: Currently reading: The Guarded Gate by Daniel Okrent. A history of how eugenics theory was used to control immigration in the early 1900s USA.
	7:11am RB: ↳ Paulo AD @7:08 Am reading The Crossing , by Cormac McCarthy , second book in a trilogy about Texas , Mexico, and it’s people , over the past century
	7:11am fred: ↳ Heidee @7:09 Shouldn't you be grading or such? Serious procrastination time
	7:11am coelacanth∅: i seem to find not a minute to read now. i got a book from the library a few months ago, had to order it within the network and wait. then couldn't find the time and 60 pages and 2 months in i returned it.
	7:12am goes211: Good morning Carol and WFMU friends! Looks like a great day ahead!
	7:12am TDK60: Carol, where is that photograph taken in Manhattan? It doesn't look like NYC to me, especially those hills across that water. Is that really New Jersey?
	7:12am ryansterlingvirtue: Voltage control is what they used before Midi
	7:12am Ken Palko: good to hear about Bernie Sanders's book, I'm almost finished with the third book of dos pasos american trilogy, late 1800's early 1900's capitalism and war and the free thought movement that tried to fight it, it's very informative and interesting literature
	🌜 7:13am Heidee: ↳ fred @7:11 Totally how did you know...
	🌜 7:13am WinksFMU: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:11 I was struggling getting back into reading. It took getting up every morning at 5am and dedicating an hour to it. It suddenly gets a lot easier to read and read more.
	7:15am Paulo AD: ↳ WinksFMU @7:13 Same here, I try and get through a chapter before bed now. I think was just reading books that I just wasn't interested in or were boring to me
	7:15am sm-ll: ↳ Song: "Dimension Intrusion" by "FUSE" I love this album, listen to it all the time. Great! Reminds me of Speedy J in later years too.
	7:15am coelacanth∅: RB after reading all the pretty horses and thoroughly living in it (or letting it live in me) i started the crossing. then put it down! i should've let more time pass in-between.
	7:15am TDK60: ↳ Ken Palko @7:12 Ken, John Dos Passos' 'U.S.A.' trilogy is great. I read it years ago. / I just finished Ursula K. Le Guin's 'The Left Hand of Darkness.'
	7:16am Colleen: Soooo excited to be up to catch your show!!!
	7:16am Colleen: Hey there TDK60!!
	7:17am Colleen: New Paltz dude...is that you??
	7:17am Strandlund: Happy Mother's Day!!
	7:18am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @7:13 What going down my friend?
	7:19am coelacanth∅: Thanks Winks i do appreciate the encouragement! but i actually just got home from work ~45 minutes ago. 5 night/week; then i work during the day if i'm able. i'm in a situation.
	7:19am Ills: OMG absolutely love Proc Fiskal!!
	7:20am coelacanth∅: ↳ Colleen @7:17 hi Colleen!
	🌜 7:20am WinksFMU: ↳ Paulo AD @7:15 I envy you! Can't read before bed, because sleep takes over before the end of the first page. It's why I switched to morning reading. Yeah, and hear you about reading boring stuff. I have no qualms now leaving something unfinished if it just not it.
	7:21am Ills: Morning my lovelies, feeling blessed to be tuning in live from Bristol, UK Xx
	7:21am TDK60: ↳ Colleen @7:16 Good morning, Colleen.
	🌜 7:23am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @7:18 Hey there Paulo, can relate to your ticking over, same here. 'Going back home' i.e. to your green and pleasant lands?
	7:24am RB: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:15 All the Pretty Horses was the most thrilling book I’ve ever read . The movie looked not so good (have only seen the trailer )…Agree , it’s hard to find the time but so good to do.
	7:24am coelacanth∅: 'morning, Ills
	7:25am Paulo AD: ↳ WinksFMU @7:20 100% if I'm not hooked I'm moving on. I've realised I much prefer reading a read book rather than a kindle too. I've started going to bed earlier to get my reading in, putting the phone down and cracking on
	7:25am Paulo AD: ↳ WinksFMU @7:20 It's helps that I absolutely love this book
	🌜 7:25am WinksFMU: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:19 Oh, that's more than a situation! That's hell! Still, try to find a half hour in your day to read, and see what happens. Good luck!
	7:25am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @7:23 Well, back to Brighton for a birthday party. Only flying back for a weekend l, that's going to be rough
	7:26am sm-ll: ↳ Song: "Bitstream" by "Phonem" This is really beautiful. Reminds me a little of some of Remote Viewer's early stuff on 555 Recordings
	7:26am Paulo AD: ↳ WinksFMU @7:25 Agreed good luck Colela
	7:26am coelacanth∅: ↳ RB @7:24 yeah it's really Brilliant! he's really Brilliant.
	7:27am CarolCrow: Good Sunday Morning, Strandlund
	🌜 7:27am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @7:25 Good for you!
	7:27am CarolCrow: Good morning RB
	7:27am Aaron Working In Newark: I love you Carol <3
	7:27am JR: Reading….so cool and can be so disturbing. Some time ago, read EVICTED by Matthew Desmond and now I’m onto POVERTY BY AMERICA. Also by him. Very disturbing but essentially thought provoking. Have to balance these with something hilarious so I’m also reading SQUEEZE ME by Carl Hiassen, a spoof on Palm Beach and our past president. Thanks for your Sunday show Carol! The sounds are perfectly meditative and a counterpoint to chaos. ❤️🙏😎
	7:29am CarolCrow: @HAT OV ELDE@7:04: You are too kind. Thank YOU for listening:)
	7:29am Colleen: Strandlund!!
	7:29am Paulo AD: ↳ JR @7:27 I remeber reading catcher in the rye when I was younger, I was in a moodsl for weeks. Full goth haha
	7:30am RB: ↳ WinksFMU @7:25 Reading in the morning is a good way to get back into it .
	🌜 7:30am Brian in UK: Hello Carol on a sunny Sunday.
	🌜 7:30am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Carol and all!!! Happy Mother's day to all the Mothers!!!
	7:30am coelacanth∅: i read catcher in the rye far too late for it to matter. same with on the road.
	7:30am CarolCrow: @Paulo@7:05: Glad to hear it! I hope you have a great visit with your family:)
	7:31am coelacanth∅: Happy mothers' day Will!
	7:31am Claire from Montclair: On The Road is the next book for the vintage book club (books 50 years and older) I’m in
	7:31am Strandlund: ↳ Colleen @7:29 Colleen!! A Beautiful Sunday to you!!
	7:32am coelacanth∅: hmmm... if you've ever taken a road trip (esp alone), don't bother reading on the road!
	7:32am Eric the Hat: Exactly what Aaron said. Bowled over.
	7:32am TDK60: I'll say it again: that photograph doesn't look like Manhattan. Also, the photo has trees with no leaves. In August? Is the caption wrong for the photo?
	7:32am Claire from Montclair: …tbh that selection makes me want to quit the club
	7:34am coelacanth∅: Claire, well...maybe the discussion about it afterward will be good (?)
	🌜 7:35am Balthazar B: ↳ TDK60 @7:32 It requires investigation.
	7:35am coelacanth∅: TDK maybe it up north and that's the cloisters in the back?
	7:35am love2laf: Good morning Carol, WFMU folk, happy Mother's Day. @Paolo wonderful you are getting a trip home even if it is only for a weekend.
	7:36am Liz: Good morning Carol!!
	🌜 7:36am Brian in UK: When I was a slip of a lad, it was more the European writers, Camus, Radiguet & Russell Hoban. (I know he was American but lived here for many years).
	7:36am coelacanth∅: ...sorry, not the cloisters... i'm blanking on the name of that stoney ridge on the nj side of the hudson
	7:37am HAT OV ELDE: Palisades
	7:37am dday: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:56 Absolutely agree. That's why I said "I'm not defending them." The big labels today suck but in the old days even the smaller labels did as well. Chess & others stole from their artists like crazy. No excuse, but sadly some people are more greedy than others. It happens in just about every business in america.
	7:37am Claire from Montclair: Palisades?
	7:37am Paulo AD: ↳ love2laf @7:35 Thanks, can't wait. Also got tickets for Interpol the same weekend :)
	7:38am HAT OV ELDE: That would be NY though.
	7:38am TDK60: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:35 Good morning, coelacanth∅. The Cloisters museum building is not shown. Also, those hills appear too high to be the Jersey side.
	7:38am coelacanth∅: ↳ Claire from Montclair @7:37 YES Thank you!
	7:38am CarolCrow: @TDK60@7:08: It was Bernie Sanders new book, "It's OK To Be Angry About Capitalism".
	7:38am Claire from Montclair: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:34 Hopefully 🤞
	7:38am Paulo AD: Now for a real good read, you can't go wrong with a Bill Bryson book. That's easy reading and at times has me crying laughing
	7:38am Aaron Working In Newark: ↳ Strandlund @7:31 Hey good morning Strandlund.
	7:38am Fred and Alan: Good morning Love2laf
	7:39am coelacanth∅: oh surely true dday. most of 'em robbed the artists of almost everything.
	7:40am JR: Brian, when I was a teenager I used to carry a tattered copy of Le Etrange in my back pocket to look cool.
	7:40am TDK60: ↳ Claire from Montclair @7:37 Good morning Claire. Those hills appear too rounded and too high to be the Palisades. I could be wrong but...
	7:41am coelacanth∅: well just an idea TDK. you know the city far better than i.
	🌜 7:42am Brian in UK: ↳ JR @7:40 The same thing happened with people trying to look cool carrying LPs. Jack Bruce's Songs for a Tailor was one of those.
	7:42am love2laf: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:38 Good morning Fred and Alan, up and at em early today! Hope work isn't too tough today, Mother's Day is always crazy busy, be good to yourselves today.
	7:42am Strandlund: ↳ Aaron Working In Newark @7:38 Morning Aaron!! Hope you're having a wonderful day!!
	7:43am love2laf: ↳ Paulo AD @7:37 Nicely done! Hope you have a great time at the show, and they do it up right.
	🌜 7:43am Dead Seminal: Alongside Proust, which I read in the mornings, I am enjoying mucho Emma Cline's new novel The Guest and a selection of Eve Babitz's short pieces, I Used To Be Charming. She utterly rocks. Re On the Road, I did that a coupla times when I was but a boy and then last year read The Original Scroll, far and away the best thing I read all year and a world away from the original ruinous version the publishers made him put into print.
	7:43am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @7:40 Claire and coel: The Palisades are sheer cliffs, not rounded hills.
	🌜 7:43am Brian in UK: Kick out the jams, Mummy?
	7:44am RB: ↳ Claire from Montclair @7:31 Am always struck by how clean cut Jack Kerouac (SP?) looks
	7:44am sm-ll: ↳ Song: "Adore" by "i:cube" Is this credited right Carol?
	7:44am Fred and Alan: Hello Strandlund
	7:44am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @7:43 ..and we still have the problem of a park with leafless trees, in August! Hmmmn...to the kitchen for more coffee, and back soon!...
	7:44am dday: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:39 To paraphrase Otis Blackwell who said "well you can be bitter or you can just get on with living & writing more songs"
	7:44am RB: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:36 Palisades ….
	7:45am Strandlund: ↳ Paulo AD @7:38 Bill Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa...my home town...
	7:45am coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @7:42 it makes more sense than carrying a skateboard! that was a thing here with the kids for a few years...all these people carrying skateboards, nobody riding them! a Syd Barrett album would be less cumbersome!
	7:46am HAT OV ELDE: Sorry. I always forget how far up Jersey reaches.
	7:46am Strandlund: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:44 Good Sunday Morning Fred and Alan!! Hope your day is starting off nicely!!
	7:46am Really Lisa: Wasn’t that just OMD? I think it was in a recent show.. bc I could’ve sworn I clicky starred it. I’m confused. Also good morning Carol and all. ☮️
	🌜 7:46am Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:45 Or perhaps Nick Drake.
	🌜 7:46am 12539: ↳ Really Lisa @7:46 I heard Seeland by OMD.
	🌜 7:47am Balthazar B: OMD
	7:47am sm-ll: ↳ 12539 @7:46 yeah, I thought it was OMD
	🌜 7:47am WinksFMU: ↳ TDK60 @7:40 According to Google Lens, it is taken in NYC. What vantage point is not clear
	7:47am Really Lisa: ↳ 12539 @7:46 Thanks for confirming. I thought I managed to click into an archived show while on this playlist.
	🌜 7:47am 12539: ↳ 12539 @7:46 ("Sealand" with an "a," I mean.)
	🌜 7:48am Dead Seminal: One shure thang that y'all love an adore if you ain't read it already is this beauty... www.afka.net...
	7:48am TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @7:42 Hello Brian in UK. I got a very bad flu the same day I purchased Bruce's 'Tailor' album. I couldn't listen to the album for a few years, as it gave me a bad memory.
	7:49am Fred and Alan: Will be working today busy Sunday and also Mothers Day. They sold more flowers than a Botanical Garden. All the fakers.Be Nice to your Mother all the time everyday of the year not only today
	7:49am Juli: Morning Carol & Crew::: Walking to work: I have my movie w me::: Let’s see if I get the ending done:::
	🌜 7:49am Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @7:48 Sorry to hear that. Cream had the same effect on me!!!!
	7:50am coelacanth∅: haha... personally i'd be more impressed by an early royal trux album!
	7:51am Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: Good morning Carol and moon ☪️ 🌙 units.
	7:52am coelacanth∅: ↳ Dead Seminal @7:48 definitely want to read that
	7:52am TDK60: ↳ WinksFMU @7:47 Morning, WinksFMU. Huh, it is NYC? But from what vantage point is hard to figure. (And the leafless trees in August?)
	7:52am Strandlund: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:49 Yes!! What Fred and Alan said!!
	7:52am dday: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:49 Exactly Fred & Alan. Like you, my parents are both gone. Good people. Miss them every day . Victor & Jean passed 2010 & 2012 respectively
	7:53am RB: ↳ Dead Seminal @7:48 Soothing jacket cover
	7:53am Paulo AD: ↳ Strandlund @7:45 Nice factoid
	7:54am TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @7:49 Brian in UK, I can listen to it now. Bruce was eccentric and a great electric bassist.
	🌜 7:54am Yetz: ↳ Balthazar B @7:35 I think I found where that photo is! Look at the two red brick towers next to the building that's right under the moon. Then look at this: en.wikipedia.org...
	7:55am love2laf: ↳ dday @7:52 Same here, so it's a bit of a wistful & weepy day. Glad I cherished them while they were here, and on all the days. Always spend a little time looking back through the pictures and the memories they evoke.
	🌜 7:55am Yetz: (It was a bit tricky. There are no signs or any text visible in the image. But those two towers are distinctive)
	7:55am RB: ↳ Song: "Mishra Pilu" by "Aruna Narayan/The Kronos Quartet" Avant Gard Armo Music
	7:56am coelacanth∅: Excellent detective work Yetz!
	🌜 7:56am Yetz: The original Bell Laboratories building (before they moved to New Jersey) and also original site of the Manhattan Project (before they moved to New Mexico)
	7:57am Strandlund: We have no human children, but our 4 cats always get their Mom something for Mother's Day...
	7:57am HAT OV ELDE: Maybe from Yonkers?
	7:58am dday: ↳ Yetz @7:55 I was keyed into them & the antenna on the building directly to their left. Here's one I found..similar ? www.istockphoto.com...
	7:59am TDK60: ↳ Yetz @7:54 Thanks Yetz. Bell Laboratories building? That's down in Greenwich Village. Right by the river. And that area is flat not hilly like this photo.
	7:59am Strandlund: My Mother past several years ago...I think of her every day...Happy Mother's Day, Mom!!
	7:59am Quinn02: Good morning Carol! Just tuning in but excellent looking playlist as always. I loved that Francisco Lopez rainforest piece that went into the classical music you played the other week. It felt like I was lost in the jungle and then turned a corner to find myself at a concert. Very dreamlike.
	7:59am RB: ↳ Yetz @7:56 The old rotary ATT landline telephones were guaranteed to work for 100 years at time of purchase
	🌜 8:00am Balthazar B: ↳ Yetz @7:54 And there are lots of leaves on the trees. It's exactly where you have said.
	8:00am TDK60: ↳ HAT OV ELDE @7:57 Morning HAT OV ELDE: I was thinking maybe it's Yonkers which I'm less familiar with.
	🌜 8:00am Dead Seminal: ↳ Quinn02 @7:59 Ooh yes, that was delicious, thanks for the reminder.
	8:01am dday: ↳ RB @7:59 I had an old plug in phone, no dial years ago. Gave it to a friend of mine
	🌜 8:01am Yetz: ↳ RB @7:59 I had a job working at Bell Laboratories dropping phones onto a concrete floor and counting how many times they dropped before they broke!
	8:01am HAT OV ELDE: Oops super slow. Awesome call Yetz
	🌜 8:02am Balthazar B: ↳ Yetz @8:01 Nice!
	8:02am dday: ↳ Yetz @8:01 Quality Control. I did some of that with large printers in 1980-81 for Vydec in NJ a sub of Exxon Corp. How are you feeling this morning?
	🌜 8:03am Dead Seminal: ↳ Yetz @8:01 Don't leave us hanging Yetz, how many times?
	8:04am HAT OV ELDE: Yeah how many?
	8:04am TDK60: ↳ HAT OV ELDE @8:01 HAT, not proven yet. There is no park in that area of the Village. The Bell Laboratries building is right along West St. by the river, unlike the building in the photo. (And the trees...hee!..)
	8:05am RB: ↳ dday @8:01 I have an old rotary ATT phone that have carried from house to house for 50 years . Something about it is nice . I’ll att to that the thought that , in times past , Yetz was dropping them and taking notes , with an eye to quality improvement .
	8:06am love2laf: ↳ Song: "Mishra Pilu" by "Aruna Narayan/The Kronos Quartet" Really special music right here, thank you Carol.
	8:07am dday: ↳ RB @8:05 I got a kick out of the one I had. You could listen & talk on it as say an extension, but without a dial you'd have to rely on the switchbord operator (no more) to connect you :)
	8:07am HAT OV ELDE: Haha. All the top windows line up though..
	8:08am RB: ↳ TDK60 @8:04 Yeah , agree, I think that picture is taken from the Bronx , looking north east towards Connecticut . That’s where there’s lots of red brick apt building and that tall white bld looks familiar
	🌜 8:09am Yetz: www.google.com...
	🌜 8:09am Yetz: It's lower Manhattan looking toward New Jersey
	🌜 8:09am Balthazar B: Brilliant!
	8:10am HAT OV ELDE: Wow. Barbie laying it down. Hahaha. It’s a conspiracy
	8:11am RB: ↳ RB @8:08 Remember shared group land lines ? Had to listen for the number of rings before picking up .
	🌜 8:11am Yetz: The original Bell Labs building at 463 West St en.wikipedia.org...
	8:13am Quinn02: Ooh, I always loved that fuse album. Didn’t know about Dimensions
	🌜 8:13am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: I. Tema V... This piece always makes me sad.
	🌜 8:14am Yetz: ↳ Dead Seminal @8:03 Oh, we did it over and over, getting statistics. This was decades ago! IIRC, the old Western Electric phones were supposed to survive being dropped 18 times, 3 times each on each of the 6 major faces, from a height of 5 feet.
	🌜 8:15am Yetz: ↳ Yetz @8:14 Things have changed a lot since then! Now we just want everthing super-lightweight and small and don't seem to care about durability
	8:15am RB: ↳ Heidee @8:13 Thoughtful…, whimsical
	8:16am coelacanth∅: i had (probably still have, in a box in my mother's attic) an old bakelite rotary phone which was in usage until 2001 -the last time i had a land line. my girlfriend meticulously decorated it with scooby-doo wrapping paper. i'd like to use it but i may never have a land line again. sounded infinitely better than any cell phone i've ever talked on. and far more reliable.
	🌜 8:17am Yetz: ↳ TDK60 @8:04 @TDK60 I think this is pretty conclusive www.google.com...
	8:17am RB: ↳ Song: "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: I. Tema V... Wow , this is excellent , thanks Carol
	8:20am Robm: Good morning and happy Mother’s Day to the moms on this chat
	8:20am Pax: Moon over Manhattan, is that picture taken at sunset or sunrise. I get the impression it's sunrise.
	8:22am CarolCrow: Good morning goes211, ryansterlingvirtue, Ken Palko, Colleen, Ills, Aaron Working In Newark, Brian in UK, Will thee Sound Guy, Claire from Montclair, love2laf, Liz, Fred and Alan, JR, Really Lisa, Juli, Peter from Boonton, Yetz, Quinn02, Robm, Pax and everyone listening! Thank you for being here (and hear:)
	8:24am Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: ↳ Song: "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: I. Tema V... Lovely selection, Carol!
	8:24am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Carol!☀️
	🌜 8:24am Baja Joe: ↳ Song: "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: I. Tema V... Purdy
	🌜 8:25am Yetz: ↳ Pax @8:20 The view is facing West and the buildings are not in shadow, so the sun is in the East.... Morning.
	8:25am TDK60: ↳ Pax @8:20 Thanks Yetz. Could be. But the building doesn't look one block from the river as shown in the map. (And leafless trees in August?) / Pax, if it's NYC looking west, it would have to be sunrise.
	8:26am Fred and Alan: ↳ dday @7:52 Our parents died 9 days apart in 2005
	8:27am Strandlund: ↳ Song: "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: I. Tema V... I need to get my day started, but this music is making it hard to get up and go...
	8:27am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @8:25 Carol, I am enjoying the music.
	🌜 8:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Carol. More moonlets than Saturn here today! 🪐
	8:28am Colleen: This used to play in a loop of my daughter's Baby Einstein dvd.. I swear I can play this on a piano if I tried
	🌜 8:29am Yetz: ↳ TDK60 @8:25 Ok, it seems obvious that its the same building to me (the towers, the top windows, the peaked roof), I just can't quite recreate that view in Google Maps because I can't go up to the 16th floor ...
	8:30am RB: ↳ Yetz @8:29 It’s confusing , that’s part of the charm
	8:30am Colleen: Thank you for the soothing abounds all morning as I hide out in my room before dealing with my struggling relationship with my mother who is visiting..
	8:30am Robm: ↳ Colleen @8:28 Colleen after hearing this on loop I would lose my mind:)
	8:31am ike-o: Peace
	🌜 8:31am Yetz: Oh well, some people are just never satisified
	8:31am Colleen: ....soothing-sounds- Thank you Carol! Happy Mothers day!
	8:31am Robm: @Colleen hope you get through that
	8:32am Colleen: Oooohhh.... I got there Robm!
	8:32am Strandlund: @Colleen...Pixie headed your way!!
	🌜 8:32am Balthazar B: ↳ Yetz @8:29 You can have a good enough walk about in streetview to be certain.
	8:32am HAT OV ELDE: @Yetz - omg. I’m falling into a rabbit hole here, but I wonder if the testing you were involved in was related to early standardization protocol…
	8:32am Colleen: Thanks!!
	8:32am love2laf: ↳ Colleen @8:30 Hang in there, and keep the soothing sounds going.
	8:33am Colleen: Haha much needed Strandlund!
	🌜 8:33am Balthazar B: Peace
	🌜 8:33am Snortley: ↳ TDK60 @7:52 The large building left of center is Westbeth. The camera is facing west, and the trees are across the river, in NJ, south of the Palisades.
	🌜 8:34am Balthazar B: ↳ Snortley @8:33 Exactly!
	8:34am McNeal Lehrer: is this NPR?🤣
	8:34am Pax: ↳ Yetz @8:15 My first cell phone some 11 or 12 years ago was so small that it fit in the palm of my hand and weighed nothing, It was super easy to navigate unlike all my after phones. And as for durability I've dropped it many of times and it still worked.
	8:34am HAT OV ELDE: ie CE or IEEE regulatory standards etc
	🌜 8:35am Yetz: ↳ HAT OV ELDE @8:32 I think it was just an internal spec. It was around 1984/85 or so. We also put lithium batteries on a hotplate and timed how long it took for them to explode (and how severe the explosion was, scale of 1-5)
	8:35am Robm: ↳ Colleen @8:32 Colleen ha ha ha
	🌜 8:35am Yetz: ↳ Snortley @8:33 Thank you
	8:36am HAT OV ELDE: Also…goddamnit. Anyone else up there heard Rex’s voice on WNYC?
	8:36am TDK60: ↳ Snortley @8:33 Snortley, thanks. And Yetz too. Odd, I don't know an area near there with all those trees to the right. I'm going to that neighborhood later today, will look. But of course I'll be way down on the ground.
	8:36am William F. Buckley: Thought I died
	8:36am Greg from ZONE 5: Wooooow. So cool.🎺
	8:36am sm-ll: ↳ Song: "Interviews" by "PauL McCartney / David Mason" awesome
	8:37am wenzo got it’s bike back: Good ole’ George Lennon
	8:37am Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: ↳ Colleen @8:30 Best wishes getting through the day with your mother, Colleen.
	8:37am RB: ↳ TDK60 @8:36 TDK, please provide us with live drone footage
	8:39am RB: ↳ Colleen @8:30 Takes my wife about a week or two to recover.
	🌜 8:39am bluecharlie: Dear Carol, Thank you so much for my wonderful Moonlit socks and your lovely note! ❤️ I appreciate the thoughts and it seemed to work out just fine! ☺️ Looking forward to wearing them on my morning dog walk! 🥰🚶🏾🎧🐕🐕‍🦺🐾 🌝 ❤️
	8:41am wenzo got it’s bike back: Did I miss a conversation about cell phone batteries exploding? Saw that happen one time. Still a burn mark on my floor.
	8:41am Paulo AD: Such a banger of a tune
	🌜 8:42am 12539: ↳ Song: "Baby, You're A Rich Man" by "The Beatles" ...and back to Capitalism...
	8:42am Pax: @Yetz/TDK60@8:20 - thanks for your explanation
	8:43am wenzo got it’s bike back: It’s ok to be angry about it
	🌜 8:43am Yetz: ↳ wenzo got it’s bike back @8:41 I worked at Bell Labs in the 80s. This was before cell phones. But they were introducing a new phone with a 10-number memory (speed dial) and they wanted to back that up with a battery. Lithium batteries were a pretty new technology and were pretty explodey... they have gotten a lot better since then (though they can still explode!)
	8:44am wenzo got it’s bike back: They can!
	8:45am Paulo AD: ↳ bluecharlie @8:39 How you doing Blue?
	🌜 8:45am Yetz: ↳ Song: "Man Who Sold the World" by "David Bowie w/ Klaus ... was this the time Bowie was on TV in that crazy suit and had to be carried out on stage? I remember watching this with my Mom who said "This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen!" :-)
	🌜 8:46am WR: Hello Goodbye and thank you, Carol, for the tunes this day. Earlier on WFMU heard Bowie doing Lennon's Mother. For the moment the Circle is complete. Laters all.
	8:46am RB: ↳ Yetz @8:43 Which Bell Labs site ?
	8:47am Cooh John: Thanks for the great show.
	8:47am maxwell smart∅: i had a cell-phone in the '60s, in a secret place
	8:47am love2laf: ↳ Yetz @8:45 Why yes, yes it is! www.youtube.com...
	🌜 8:47am Yetz: ↳ RB @8:46 Murray Hill NJ
	8:48am Pablexa™: If only I could make one penny on everything I sell - Jeff Bezos The man who sold the world
	🌜 8:49am Yetz: ↳ love2laf @8:47 Thanks L2L!
	8:49am love2laf: Thank you Carol, the music this morning has been just right, and very happy to have been here (hear). Hope everyone has a great day today, be kind to yourselves, and to everyone.

	8:49am RB: ↳ Yetz @8:47 A good friend of mine worked there then , on electric circuit boards , Jon Peticolas
	8:49am Paulo AD: Thanks Carol, great to be here with you again today :)
	🌜 8:49am Dead Seminal: ↳ Song: "Baby, You're A Rich Man" by "The Beatles" One of my very fave fab four songs, been maybe decades since I last heard it!
	8:50am The Butterman: ↳ Yetz @8:43 Yetz, did you know a gemologist named Dr. Kurt Nassau at Bell?
	8:50am RB: ↳ love2laf @8:47 The highlight is Klaus Naomi
	8:50am sm-ll: I'm always amazed at the amazing journey Carol takes us on. Thanks for letting us be passengers.
	8:50am Pablexa™: There it is!!!!
	🌜 8:50am Yetz: ↳ The Butterman @8:50 No... it was a huge place, thousands of employees
	8:50am Aaron Working In Newark: ↳ Song: "In A Big Country" by "Big Country" YESSSS!!!!!11
	8:51am Pax: ↳ Yetz @8:45 I think we watch the same TV show when they brought Bowie out in some kind of a tall bucket. My father asked, what's wrong with him.
	8:51am Nina: Wow. Really revisiting my teenage years this morning! 💜🌈💜
	8:51am Mattynotimes: Man in a big country is always a banger!
	🌜 8:51am 12539: Thanks, Carol!
	8:51am HAT OV ELDE: Thanks again Carol. We’re not worthy! ❤️
	8:52am coelacanth∅: i knew someone who grew crystals for bell labs in the 80s (berkley heights?) she and one other person grew them perfectly, apparently, and despite papers and demonstrations no one else seemed to be able to do it. she's got some published works on it. she quit after one too many toluene accidents to work in a florist shop. i don't know if anyone ever learned the crystal secret.
	8:53am Mattynotimes: Great show Carol! Have a great Sunday!

	8:53am Pablexa™: Cheers Caz!!
	8:54am TDK60: ↳ Song: "In A Big Country" by "Big Country" Carol - Thanks for the music. This ancient Scots music, etc! / Deciphering photographs is fun. We often try to specify the place of photos on some other WFMU shows.
	8:54am Pax: ↳ Song: "In A Big Country" by "Big Country" Bought this one on 45 7in" vinyl.
	8:54am HAT OV ELDE: I’ve heard of some crystal secrets myself. Lol
	🌜 8:54am Baja Joe: All hail the holy Anthem. Gets them going every time.
	🌜 8:54am Dead Seminal: What wonder we witness on this show, thanks Carol!

	8:55am The Butterman: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:52 Yeah, Coelacanth, Dr Kurt Nassau bought a painting from me. That’s what he did at Bell. Fascinating guy and life story.
	8:55am JohnEBGood: Have a great day Carol. Happy Mother's Day all ; )

	8:57am coelacanth∅: ↳ HAT OV ELDE @8:54 haha!
	8:57am Erik/VermonT: I recall watching that 1979 Bowie SNL perf and being mystified by it. (as a 14 /15 year old). Many weren’t up to speed with the newer oddness of his artsy ways. Final phase of the great experiments. Each of the performances were so weird, but oddly thrilling. I’ve always had a fondness & bond to his “Lodger” album - a formative touch stone that.
	🌜 8:58am john_zilla: ↳ Dead Seminal @8:54 this says it all
	8:58am upstatesean: Everyone, cheers!
	8:58am coelacanth∅: ↳ The Butterman @8:55 now i must wonder if your friend was my (then) girlfriend's crystal growing partner...
	8:58am love2laf: Now rolling into WFMU no chat zone time, the loneliest time of the week. See you all on Monday morning! Great chat today, loved it, especially the book recco's.

	6:28am sm-ll: Morning all
	🌜 6:30am Baja Joe: Good morning Carol and SMSers listening. Love hearing some Bjork
	6:31am sm-ll: I think Carol has brought the sun out in cloudy London, nice. :)
	🌜 6:32am Balthazar B: I wonder what WRWTWW stands for?
	6:33am coelacanth∅: olá Carol
	🌜 6:34am WinksFMU: ↳ Balthazar B @6:32 We Release Whatever The F* We Want Records
	6:35am sm-ll: ↳ WinksFMU @6:34 ha! Perfect. As it should be.
	🌜 6:35am Balthazar B: ↳ WinksFMU @6:34 👌

	6:37am CarolCrow: Sunny greeting from JC Spikey BXL in Belgium
	6:37am CarolCrow: Morning sm-ll
	6:37am CarolCrow: Good morning Baja Joe in SI.
	6:38am CarolCrow: olá coelacanth∅
	6:38am coelacanth∅: i think most record companies release whatever the Fuck they want; but unfortunately whatever the Fuck they want is whatever formuliac devoid of soul crap they think will make them money.
	6:39am CarolCrow: Good morning Cooh John.
	6:40am dday: Great photo. Magic Hour lighting (Dawn & just b4 dusk). Morning all!
	6:42am sm-ll: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:38 Not all of them :) but yes many have that battle or aim.
	6:50am dday: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:38 Not defending them..but..it's a business , whose aim like most businesses is to make money.Art & commerce is always difficult.
	6:50am Paulo AD: Ello moonlighters :)
	6:50am coelacanth∅: ↳ sm-ll @6:42 obviously! wrwtfww, for instants. in fact i lean toward the majority of what's played on wfmu as being released by labels considerably less capitalistic than that. but all the big ones. (or is there only one now) and certainly the companies that release the dreck that most younger people listen to.
	6:52am CarolCrow: Morning dday!
	6:52am CarolCrow: Ello Paulo AD :)
	6:53am Paulo AD: ↳ CarolCrow @6:52 How have you been Carol??
	6:56am coelacanth∅: dday. no business has to be ruthlessly selfish to survive. a few decades ago warner brothers was releasing crazyass shit that no way would make them rich. atlantic was a soul/r&b/blues label - not going to get rich off that, in the 50s. sire did nothing but take chances. ...(etc) it's a choice made, to forfeit creativity and individualism for the almighty dollar. and worse yet creating a culture of zombies that have no clue how absolutely soulless those computer-generated chord progressions (all 5 of them) are.
	6:56am sm-ll: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:50 I was young a long time ago so not sure haha, but yeah for sure, agree. There was good and bad music when I was young, and good and bad music now.
	6:58am sm-ll: ↳ Song: "A" by "rEAGENZ" Everytime I hear something amazing, it's often in 94/95. Amazing!
	6:58am fred: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:50 Old people are worse. More, not most young people are open to new stuff. We old farts tend to be wrong
	6:58am coelacanth∅: sm-ii absolutely. the ratio is many times worse now, but yeah i always wondered what my piers liked in some of the commercial songs they listened to.
	6:59am TDK60: Good morning, DJ Carol.
	6:59am coelacanth∅: fred, yeah most people are more closed, for sure. but the music industry does aim toward them.
	🌜 7:00am Balthazar B: Capitalism is slavery..there, said it.
	7:01am CarolCrow: @Paulo@6:53: I've been good! Thank you for asking:) How are you holding up?
	7:02am coelacanth∅: ↳ Balthazar B @7:00 can't argue with that!
	7:02am CarolCrow: Good morning, TDK60.
	7:02am Strandlund: Good Sunday Morning, Carol and all the Serious Moonlighters out there listening in...
	7:02am RB: Good morning (A) Carol and (B) Moonakins
	7:03am fred: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:59 Boring people live long, that skews the sample
	🌜 7:04am Balthazar B: ↳ fred @7:03 ;)
	🌜 7:04am 12539: Was that a snippet of Big Country?
	7:04am Pablexa™: ↳ Song: "Gaia's Love Theme" by "Takashi Kokubo & Andrea Es... She's Talking™ Before she plays Big Country
	🌜 7:04am WinksFMU: Did I just hear a Big Country sample? ha
	7:04am HAT OV ELDE: Carol. I never know how to adequately express that your show is the actual soul of FMU. I retype endless subpar versions of this sentiment every time I catch you. This time I’ll just go with this. You define ruling. Thank you.
	🌜 7:04am john_zilla: great first hour!!
	7:05am RB: Happy Mothers Day …. to all the mutha’s
	7:05am Paulo AD: ↳ CarolCrow @7:01 Yeah ticking over thanks. Goi g back home for a weekend in two weeks so looking forward to that. And yes, that is a great picture
	7:06am wenzo got it’s bike back: Waaa?!
	7:07am @Winks: ↳ WinksFMU @7:04 Haha thought so too
	7:07am sm-ll: more love into the world :)
	🌜 7:07am Balthazar B: Gotta stay positive.
	7:08am RB: Bernie , laying it all out there . Telling it like it is .
	7:08am Pablexa™: ↳ Balthazar B @7:07 www.youtube.com...
	7:08am sm-ll: Pluto Press putting out some great books right now.
	7:08am TDK60: I was away from the radio when you mentioned a reading. Can you mention on the chat scroll?
	7:08am Paulo AD: As I've mentioned on a few message boards, currently reading the history of goth. The author was on Mona's show yesterday :)
	7:09am Fredericks: Carol, your bed music is louder than your voice.
	🌜 7:09am Heidee: Wow didn't know that!
	7:10am wenzo got it’s bike back: First time hearing about BS’s new book… great title!
	🌜 7:11am WinksFMU: Currently reading: The Guarded Gate by Daniel Okrent. A history of how eugenics theory was used to control immigration in the early 1900s USA.
	7:11am RB: ↳ Paulo AD @7:08 Am reading The Crossing , by Cormac McCarthy , second book in a trilogy about Texas , Mexico, and it’s people , over the past century
	7:11am fred: ↳ Heidee @7:09 Shouldn't you be grading or such? Serious procrastination time
	7:11am coelacanth∅: i seem to find not a minute to read now. i got a book from the library a few months ago, had to order it within the network and wait. then couldn't find the time and 60 pages and 2 months in i returned it.
	7:12am goes211: Good morning Carol and WFMU friends! Looks like a great day ahead!
	7:12am TDK60: Carol, where is that photograph taken in Manhattan? It doesn't look like NYC to me, especially those hills across that water. Is that really New Jersey?
	7:12am ryansterlingvirtue: Voltage control is what they used before Midi
	7:12am Ken Palko: good to hear about Bernie Sanders's book, I'm almost finished with the third book of dos pasos american trilogy, late 1800's early 1900's capitalism and war and the free thought movement that tried to fight it, it's very informative and interesting literature
	🌜 7:13am Heidee: ↳ fred @7:11 Totally how did you know...
	🌜 7:13am WinksFMU: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:11 I was struggling getting back into reading. It took getting up every morning at 5am and dedicating an hour to it. It suddenly gets a lot easier to read and read more.
	7:15am Paulo AD: ↳ WinksFMU @7:13 Same here, I try and get through a chapter before bed now. I think was just reading books that I just wasn't interested in or were boring to me
	7:15am sm-ll: ↳ Song: "Dimension Intrusion" by "FUSE" I love this album, listen to it all the time. Great! Reminds me of Speedy J in later years too.
	7:15am coelacanth∅: RB after reading all the pretty horses and thoroughly living in it (or letting it live in me) i started the crossing. then put it down! i should've let more time pass in-between.
	7:15am TDK60: ↳ Ken Palko @7:12 Ken, John Dos Passos' 'U.S.A.' trilogy is great. I read it years ago. / I just finished Ursula K. Le Guin's 'The Left Hand of Darkness.'
	7:16am Colleen: Soooo excited to be up to catch your show!!!
	7:16am Colleen: Hey there TDK60!!
	7:17am Colleen: New Paltz dude...is that you??
	7:17am Strandlund: Happy Mother's Day!!
	7:18am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @7:13 What going down my friend?
	7:19am coelacanth∅: Thanks Winks i do appreciate the encouragement! but i actually just got home from work ~45 minutes ago. 5 night/week; then i work during the day if i'm able. i'm in a situation.
	7:19am Ills: OMG absolutely love Proc Fiskal!!
	7:20am coelacanth∅: ↳ Colleen @7:17 hi Colleen!
	🌜 7:20am WinksFMU: ↳ Paulo AD @7:15 I envy you! Can't read before bed, because sleep takes over before the end of the first page. It's why I switched to morning reading. Yeah, and hear you about reading boring stuff. I have no qualms now leaving something unfinished if it just not it.
	7:21am Ills: Morning my lovelies, feeling blessed to be tuning in live from Bristol, UK Xx
	7:21am TDK60: ↳ Colleen @7:16 Good morning, Colleen.
	🌜 7:23am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @7:18 Hey there Paulo, can relate to your ticking over, same here. 'Going back home' i.e. to your green and pleasant lands?
	7:24am RB: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:15 All the Pretty Horses was the most thrilling book I’ve ever read . The movie looked not so good (have only seen the trailer )…Agree , it’s hard to find the time but so good to do.
	7:24am coelacanth∅: 'morning, Ills
	7:25am Paulo AD: ↳ WinksFMU @7:20 100% if I'm not hooked I'm moving on. I've realised I much prefer reading a read book rather than a kindle too. I've started going to bed earlier to get my reading in, putting the phone down and cracking on
	7:25am Paulo AD: ↳ WinksFMU @7:20 It's helps that I absolutely love this book
	🌜 7:25am WinksFMU: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:19 Oh, that's more than a situation! That's hell! Still, try to find a half hour in your day to read, and see what happens. Good luck!
	7:25am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @7:23 Well, back to Brighton for a birthday party. Only flying back for a weekend l, that's going to be rough
	7:26am sm-ll: ↳ Song: "Bitstream" by "Phonem" This is really beautiful. Reminds me a little of some of Remote Viewer's early stuff on 555 Recordings
	7:26am Paulo AD: ↳ WinksFMU @7:25 Agreed good luck Colela
	7:26am coelacanth∅: ↳ RB @7:24 yeah it's really Brilliant! he's really Brilliant.
	7:27am CarolCrow: Good Sunday Morning, Strandlund
	🌜 7:27am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @7:25 Good for you!
	7:27am CarolCrow: Good morning RB
	7:27am Aaron Working In Newark: I love you Carol <3
	7:27am JR: Reading….so cool and can be so disturbing. Some time ago, read EVICTED by Matthew Desmond and now I’m onto POVERTY BY AMERICA. Also by him. Very disturbing but essentially thought provoking. Have to balance these with something hilarious so I’m also reading SQUEEZE ME by Carl Hiassen, a spoof on Palm Beach and our past president. Thanks for your Sunday show Carol! The sounds are perfectly meditative and a counterpoint to chaos. ❤️🙏😎
	7:29am CarolCrow: @HAT OV ELDE@7:04: You are too kind. Thank YOU for listening:)
	7:29am Colleen: Strandlund!!
	7:29am Paulo AD: ↳ JR @7:27 I remeber reading catcher in the rye when I was younger, I was in a moodsl for weeks. Full goth haha
	7:30am RB: ↳ WinksFMU @7:25 Reading in the morning is a good way to get back into it .
	🌜 7:30am Brian in UK: Hello Carol on a sunny Sunday.
	🌜 7:30am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Carol and all!!! Happy Mother's day to all the Mothers!!!
	7:30am coelacanth∅: i read catcher in the rye far too late for it to matter. same with on the road.
	7:30am CarolCrow: @Paulo@7:05: Glad to hear it! I hope you have a great visit with your family:)
	7:31am coelacanth∅: Happy mothers' day Will!
	7:31am Claire from Montclair: On The Road is the next book for the vintage book club (books 50 years and older) I’m in
	7:31am Strandlund: ↳ Colleen @7:29 Colleen!! A Beautiful Sunday to you!!
	7:32am coelacanth∅: hmmm... if you've ever taken a road trip (esp alone), don't bother reading on the road!
	7:32am Eric the Hat: Exactly what Aaron said. Bowled over.
	7:32am TDK60: I'll say it again: that photograph doesn't look like Manhattan. Also, the photo has trees with no leaves. In August? Is the caption wrong for the photo?
	7:32am Claire from Montclair: …tbh that selection makes me want to quit the club
	7:34am coelacanth∅: Claire, well...maybe the discussion about it afterward will be good (?)
	🌜 7:35am Balthazar B: ↳ TDK60 @7:32 It requires investigation.
	7:35am coelacanth∅: TDK maybe it up north and that's the cloisters in the back?
	7:35am love2laf: Good morning Carol, WFMU folk, happy Mother's Day. @Paolo wonderful you are getting a trip home even if it is only for a weekend.
	7:36am Liz: Good morning Carol!!
	🌜 7:36am Brian in UK: When I was a slip of a lad, it was more the European writers, Camus, Radiguet & Russell Hoban. (I know he was American but lived here for many years).
	7:36am coelacanth∅: ...sorry, not the cloisters... i'm blanking on the name of that stoney ridge on the nj side of the hudson
	7:37am HAT OV ELDE: Palisades
	7:37am dday: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:56 Absolutely agree. That's why I said "I'm not defending them." The big labels today suck but in the old days even the smaller labels did as well. Chess & others stole from their artists like crazy. No excuse, but sadly some people are more greedy than others. It happens in just about every business in america.
	7:37am Claire from Montclair: Palisades?
	7:37am Paulo AD: ↳ love2laf @7:35 Thanks, can't wait. Also got tickets for Interpol the same weekend :)
	7:38am HAT OV ELDE: That would be NY though.
	7:38am TDK60: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:35 Good morning, coelacanth∅. The Cloisters museum building is not shown. Also, those hills appear too high to be the Jersey side.
	7:38am coelacanth∅: ↳ Claire from Montclair @7:37 YES Thank you!
	7:38am CarolCrow: @TDK60@7:08: It was Bernie Sanders new book, "It's OK To Be Angry About Capitalism".
	7:38am Claire from Montclair: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:34 Hopefully 🤞
	7:38am Paulo AD: Now for a real good read, you can't go wrong with a Bill Bryson book. That's easy reading and at times has me crying laughing
	7:38am Aaron Working In Newark: ↳ Strandlund @7:31 Hey good morning Strandlund.
	7:38am Fred and Alan: Good morning Love2laf
	7:39am coelacanth∅: oh surely true dday. most of 'em robbed the artists of almost everything.
	7:40am JR: Brian, when I was a teenager I used to carry a tattered copy of Le Etrange in my back pocket to look cool.
	7:40am TDK60: ↳ Claire from Montclair @7:37 Good morning Claire. Those hills appear too rounded and too high to be the Palisades. I could be wrong but...
	7:41am coelacanth∅: well just an idea TDK. you know the city far better than i.
	🌜 7:42am Brian in UK: ↳ JR @7:40 The same thing happened with people trying to look cool carrying LPs. Jack Bruce's Songs for a Tailor was one of those.
	7:42am love2laf: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:38 Good morning Fred and Alan, up and at em early today! Hope work isn't too tough today, Mother's Day is always crazy busy, be good to yourselves today.
	7:42am Strandlund: ↳ Aaron Working In Newark @7:38 Morning Aaron!! Hope you're having a wonderful day!!
	7:43am love2laf: ↳ Paulo AD @7:37 Nicely done! Hope you have a great time at the show, and they do it up right.
	🌜 7:43am Dead Seminal: Alongside Proust, which I read in the mornings, I am enjoying mucho Emma Cline's new novel The Guest and a selection of Eve Babitz's short pieces, I Used To Be Charming. She utterly rocks. Re On the Road, I did that a coupla times when I was but a boy and then last year read The Original Scroll, far and away the best thing I read all year and a world away from the original ruinous version the publishers made him put into print.
	7:43am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @7:40 Claire and coel: The Palisades are sheer cliffs, not rounded hills.
	🌜 7:43am Brian in UK: Kick out the jams, Mummy?
	7:44am RB: ↳ Claire from Montclair @7:31 Am always struck by how clean cut Jack Kerouac (SP?) looks
	7:44am sm-ll: ↳ Song: "Adore" by "i:cube" Is this credited right Carol?
	7:44am Fred and Alan: Hello Strandlund
	7:44am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @7:43 ..and we still have the problem of a park with leafless trees, in August! Hmmmn...to the kitchen for more coffee, and back soon!...
	7:44am dday: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:39 To paraphrase Otis Blackwell who said "well you can be bitter or you can just get on with living & writing more songs"
	7:44am RB: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:36 Palisades ….
	7:45am Strandlund: ↳ Paulo AD @7:38 Bill Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa...my home town...
	7:45am coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @7:42 it makes more sense than carrying a skateboard! that was a thing here with the kids for a few years...all these people carrying skateboards, nobody riding them! a Syd Barrett album would be less cumbersome!
	7:46am HAT OV ELDE: Sorry. I always forget how far up Jersey reaches.
	7:46am Strandlund: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:44 Good Sunday Morning Fred and Alan!! Hope your day is starting off nicely!!
	7:46am Really Lisa: Wasn’t that just OMD? I think it was in a recent show.. bc I could’ve sworn I clicky starred it. I’m confused. Also good morning Carol and all. ☮️
	🌜 7:46am Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:45 Or perhaps Nick Drake.
	🌜 7:46am 12539: ↳ Really Lisa @7:46 I heard Seeland by OMD.
	🌜 7:47am Balthazar B: OMD
	7:47am sm-ll: ↳ 12539 @7:46 yeah, I thought it was OMD
	🌜 7:47am WinksFMU: ↳ TDK60 @7:40 According to Google Lens, it is taken in NYC. What vantage point is not clear
	7:47am Really Lisa: ↳ 12539 @7:46 Thanks for confirming. I thought I managed to click into an archived show while on this playlist.
	🌜 7:47am 12539: ↳ 12539 @7:46 ("Sealand" with an "a," I mean.)
	🌜 7:48am Dead Seminal: One shure thang that y'all love an adore if you ain't read it already is this beauty... www.afka.net...
	7:48am TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @7:42 Hello Brian in UK. I got a very bad flu the same day I purchased Bruce's 'Tailor' album. I couldn't listen to the album for a few years, as it gave me a bad memory.
	7:49am Fred and Alan: Will be working today busy Sunday and also Mothers Day. They sold more flowers than a Botanical Garden. All the fakers.Be Nice to your Mother all the time everyday of the year not only today
	7:49am Juli: Morning Carol & Crew::: Walking to work: I have my movie w me::: Let’s see if I get the ending done:::
	🌜 7:49am Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @7:48 Sorry to hear that. Cream had the same effect on me!!!!
	7:50am coelacanth∅: haha... personally i'd be more impressed by an early royal trux album!
	7:51am Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: Good morning Carol and moon ☪️ 🌙 units.
	7:52am coelacanth∅: ↳ Dead Seminal @7:48 definitely want to read that
	7:52am TDK60: ↳ WinksFMU @7:47 Morning, WinksFMU. Huh, it is NYC? But from what vantage point is hard to figure. (And the leafless trees in August?)
	7:52am Strandlund: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:49 Yes!! What Fred and Alan said!!
	7:52am dday: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:49 Exactly Fred & Alan. Like you, my parents are both gone. Good people. Miss them every day . Victor & Jean passed 2010 & 2012 respectively
	7:53am RB: ↳ Dead Seminal @7:48 Soothing jacket cover
	7:53am Paulo AD: ↳ Strandlund @7:45 Nice factoid
	7:54am TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @7:49 Brian in UK, I can listen to it now. Bruce was eccentric and a great electric bassist.
	🌜 7:54am Yetz: ↳ Balthazar B @7:35 I think I found where that photo is! Look at the two red brick towers next to the building that's right under the moon. Then look at this: en.wikipedia.org...
	7:55am love2laf: ↳ dday @7:52 Same here, so it's a bit of a wistful & weepy day. Glad I cherished them while they were here, and on all the days. Always spend a little time looking back through the pictures and the memories they evoke.
	🌜 7:55am Yetz: (It was a bit tricky. There are no signs or any text visible in the image. But those two towers are distinctive)
	7:55am RB: ↳ Song: "Mishra Pilu" by "Aruna Narayan/The Kronos Quartet" Avant Gard Armo Music
	7:56am coelacanth∅: Excellent detective work Yetz!
	🌜 7:56am Yetz: The original Bell Laboratories building (before they moved to New Jersey) and also original site of the Manhattan Project (before they moved to New Mexico)
	7:57am Strandlund: We have no human children, but our 4 cats always get their Mom something for Mother's Day...
	7:57am HAT OV ELDE: Maybe from Yonkers?
	7:58am dday: ↳ Yetz @7:55 I was keyed into them & the antenna on the building directly to their left. Here's one I found..similar ? www.istockphoto.com...
	7:59am TDK60: ↳ Yetz @7:54 Thanks Yetz. Bell Laboratories building? That's down in Greenwich Village. Right by the river. And that area is flat not hilly like this photo.
	7:59am Strandlund: My Mother past several years ago...I think of her every day...Happy Mother's Day, Mom!!
	7:59am Quinn02: Good morning Carol! Just tuning in but excellent looking playlist as always. I loved that Francisco Lopez rainforest piece that went into the classical music you played the other week. It felt like I was lost in the jungle and then turned a corner to find myself at a concert. Very dreamlike.
	7:59am RB: ↳ Yetz @7:56 The old rotary ATT landline telephones were guaranteed to work for 100 years at time of purchase
	🌜 8:00am Balthazar B: ↳ Yetz @7:54 And there are lots of leaves on the trees. It's exactly where you have said.
	8:00am TDK60: ↳ HAT OV ELDE @7:57 Morning HAT OV ELDE: I was thinking maybe it's Yonkers which I'm less familiar with.
	🌜 8:00am Dead Seminal: ↳ Quinn02 @7:59 Ooh yes, that was delicious, thanks for the reminder.
	8:01am dday: ↳ RB @7:59 I had an old plug in phone, no dial years ago. Gave it to a friend of mine
	🌜 8:01am Yetz: ↳ RB @7:59 I had a job working at Bell Laboratories dropping phones onto a concrete floor and counting how many times they dropped before they broke!
	8:01am HAT OV ELDE: Oops super slow. Awesome call Yetz
	🌜 8:02am Balthazar B: ↳ Yetz @8:01 Nice!
	8:02am dday: ↳ Yetz @8:01 Quality Control. I did some of that with large printers in 1980-81 for Vydec in NJ a sub of Exxon Corp. How are you feeling this morning?
	🌜 8:03am Dead Seminal: ↳ Yetz @8:01 Don't leave us hanging Yetz, how many times?
	8:04am HAT OV ELDE: Yeah how many?
	8:04am TDK60: ↳ HAT OV ELDE @8:01 HAT, not proven yet. There is no park in that area of the Village. The Bell Laboratries building is right along West St. by the river, unlike the building in the photo. (And the trees...hee!..)
	8:05am RB: ↳ dday @8:01 I have an old rotary ATT phone that have carried from house to house for 50 years . Something about it is nice . I’ll att to that the thought that , in times past , Yetz was dropping them and taking notes , with an eye to quality improvement .
	8:06am love2laf: ↳ Song: "Mishra Pilu" by "Aruna Narayan/The Kronos Quartet" Really special music right here, thank you Carol.
	8:07am dday: ↳ RB @8:05 I got a kick out of the one I had. You could listen & talk on it as say an extension, but without a dial you'd have to rely on the switchbord operator (no more) to connect you :)
	8:07am HAT OV ELDE: Haha. All the top windows line up though..
	8:08am RB: ↳ TDK60 @8:04 Yeah , agree, I think that picture is taken from the Bronx , looking north east towards Connecticut . That’s where there’s lots of red brick apt building and that tall white bld looks familiar
	🌜 8:09am Yetz: www.google.com...
	🌜 8:09am Yetz: It's lower Manhattan looking toward New Jersey
	🌜 8:09am Balthazar B: Brilliant!
	8:10am HAT OV ELDE: Wow. Barbie laying it down. Hahaha. It’s a conspiracy
	8:11am RB: ↳ RB @8:08 Remember shared group land lines ? Had to listen for the number of rings before picking up .
	🌜 8:11am Yetz: The original Bell Labs building at 463 West St en.wikipedia.org...
	8:13am Quinn02: Ooh, I always loved that fuse album. Didn’t know about Dimensions
	🌜 8:13am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: I. Tema V... This piece always makes me sad.
	🌜 8:14am Yetz: ↳ Dead Seminal @8:03 Oh, we did it over and over, getting statistics. This was decades ago! IIRC, the old Western Electric phones were supposed to survive being dropped 18 times, 3 times each on each of the 6 major faces, from a height of 5 feet.
	🌜 8:15am Yetz: ↳ Yetz @8:14 Things have changed a lot since then! Now we just want everthing super-lightweight and small and don't seem to care about durability
	8:15am RB: ↳ Heidee @8:13 Thoughtful…, whimsical
	8:16am coelacanth∅: i had (probably still have, in a box in my mother's attic) an old bakelite rotary phone which was in usage until 2001 -the last time i had a land line. my girlfriend meticulously decorated it with scooby-doo wrapping paper. i'd like to use it but i may never have a land line again. sounded infinitely better than any cell phone i've ever talked on. and far more reliable.
	🌜 8:17am Yetz: ↳ TDK60 @8:04 @TDK60 I think this is pretty conclusive www.google.com...
	8:17am RB: ↳ Song: "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: I. Tema V... Wow , this is excellent , thanks Carol
	8:20am Robm: Good morning and happy Mother’s Day to the moms on this chat
	8:20am Pax: Moon over Manhattan, is that picture taken at sunset or sunrise. I get the impression it's sunrise.
	8:22am CarolCrow: Good morning goes211, ryansterlingvirtue, Ken Palko, Colleen, Ills, Aaron Working In Newark, Brian in UK, Will thee Sound Guy, Claire from Montclair, love2laf, Liz, Fred and Alan, JR, Really Lisa, Juli, Peter from Boonton, Yetz, Quinn02, Robm, Pax and everyone listening! Thank you for being here (and hear:)
	8:24am Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: ↳ Song: "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: I. Tema V... Lovely selection, Carol!
	8:24am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Carol!☀️
	🌜 8:24am Baja Joe: ↳ Song: "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: I. Tema V... Purdy
	🌜 8:25am Yetz: ↳ Pax @8:20 The view is facing West and the buildings are not in shadow, so the sun is in the East.... Morning.
	8:25am TDK60: ↳ Pax @8:20 Thanks Yetz. Could be. But the building doesn't look one block from the river as shown in the map. (And leafless trees in August?) / Pax, if it's NYC looking west, it would have to be sunrise.
	8:26am Fred and Alan: ↳ dday @7:52 Our parents died 9 days apart in 2005
	8:27am Strandlund: ↳ Song: "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: I. Tema V... I need to get my day started, but this music is making it hard to get up and go...
	8:27am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @8:25 Carol, I am enjoying the music.
	🌜 8:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Carol. More moonlets than Saturn here today! 🪐
	8:28am Colleen: This used to play in a loop of my daughter's Baby Einstein dvd.. I swear I can play this on a piano if I tried
	🌜 8:29am Yetz: ↳ TDK60 @8:25 Ok, it seems obvious that its the same building to me (the towers, the top windows, the peaked roof), I just can't quite recreate that view in Google Maps because I can't go up to the 16th floor ...
	8:30am RB: ↳ Yetz @8:29 It’s confusing , that’s part of the charm
	8:30am Colleen: Thank you for the soothing abounds all morning as I hide out in my room before dealing with my struggling relationship with my mother who is visiting..
	8:30am Robm: ↳ Colleen @8:28 Colleen after hearing this on loop I would lose my mind:)
	8:31am ike-o: Peace
	🌜 8:31am Yetz: Oh well, some people are just never satisified
	8:31am Colleen: ....soothing-sounds- Thank you Carol! Happy Mothers day!
	8:31am Robm: @Colleen hope you get through that
	8:32am Colleen: Oooohhh.... I got there Robm!
	8:32am Strandlund: @Colleen...Pixie headed your way!!
	🌜 8:32am Balthazar B: ↳ Yetz @8:29 You can have a good enough walk about in streetview to be certain.
	8:32am HAT OV ELDE: @Yetz - omg. I’m falling into a rabbit hole here, but I wonder if the testing you were involved in was related to early standardization protocol…
	8:32am Colleen: Thanks!!
	8:32am love2laf: ↳ Colleen @8:30 Hang in there, and keep the soothing sounds going.
	8:33am Colleen: Haha much needed Strandlund!
	🌜 8:33am Balthazar B: Peace
	🌜 8:33am Snortley: ↳ TDK60 @7:52 The large building left of center is Westbeth. The camera is facing west, and the trees are across the river, in NJ, south of the Palisades.
	🌜 8:34am Balthazar B: ↳ Snortley @8:33 Exactly!
	8:34am McNeal Lehrer: is this NPR?🤣
	8:34am Pax: ↳ Yetz @8:15 My first cell phone some 11 or 12 years ago was so small that it fit in the palm of my hand and weighed nothing, It was super easy to navigate unlike all my after phones. And as for durability I've dropped it many of times and it still worked.
	8:34am HAT OV ELDE: ie CE or IEEE regulatory standards etc
	🌜 8:35am Yetz: ↳ HAT OV ELDE @8:32 I think it was just an internal spec. It was around 1984/85 or so. We also put lithium batteries on a hotplate and timed how long it took for them to explode (and how severe the explosion was, scale of 1-5)
	8:35am Robm: ↳ Colleen @8:32 Colleen ha ha ha
	🌜 8:35am Yetz: ↳ Snortley @8:33 Thank you
	8:36am HAT OV ELDE: Also…goddamnit. Anyone else up there heard Rex’s voice on WNYC?
	8:36am TDK60: ↳ Snortley @8:33 Snortley, thanks. And Yetz too. Odd, I don't know an area near there with all those trees to the right. I'm going to that neighborhood later today, will look. But of course I'll be way down on the ground.
	8:36am William F. Buckley: Thought I died
	8:36am Greg from ZONE 5: Wooooow. So cool.🎺
	8:36am sm-ll: ↳ Song: "Interviews" by "PauL McCartney / David Mason" awesome
	8:37am wenzo got it’s bike back: Good ole’ George Lennon
	8:37am Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: ↳ Colleen @8:30 Best wishes getting through the day with your mother, Colleen.
	8:37am RB: ↳ TDK60 @8:36 TDK, please provide us with live drone footage
	8:39am RB: ↳ Colleen @8:30 Takes my wife about a week or two to recover.
	🌜 8:39am bluecharlie: Dear Carol, Thank you so much for my wonderful Moonlit socks and your lovely note! ❤️ I appreciate the thoughts and it seemed to work out just fine! ☺️ Looking forward to wearing them on my morning dog walk! 🥰🚶🏾🎧🐕🐕‍🦺🐾 🌝 ❤️
	8:41am wenzo got it’s bike back: Did I miss a conversation about cell phone batteries exploding? Saw that happen one time. Still a burn mark on my floor.
	8:41am Paulo AD: Such a banger of a tune
	🌜 8:42am 12539: ↳ Song: "Baby, You're A Rich Man" by "The Beatles" ...and back to Capitalism...
	8:42am Pax: @Yetz/TDK60@8:20 - thanks for your explanation
	8:43am wenzo got it’s bike back: It’s ok to be angry about it
	🌜 8:43am Yetz: ↳ wenzo got it’s bike back @8:41 I worked at Bell Labs in the 80s. This was before cell phones. But they were introducing a new phone with a 10-number memory (speed dial) and they wanted to back that up with a battery. Lithium batteries were a pretty new technology and were pretty explodey... they have gotten a lot better since then (though they can still explode!)
	8:44am wenzo got it’s bike back: They can!
	8:45am Paulo AD: ↳ bluecharlie @8:39 How you doing Blue?
	🌜 8:45am Yetz: ↳ Song: "Man Who Sold the World" by "David Bowie w/ Klaus ... was this the time Bowie was on TV in that crazy suit and had to be carried out on stage? I remember watching this with my Mom who said "This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen!" :-)
	🌜 8:46am WR: Hello Goodbye and thank you, Carol, for the tunes this day. Earlier on WFMU heard Bowie doing Lennon's Mother. For the moment the Circle is complete. Laters all.
	8:46am RB: ↳ Yetz @8:43 Which Bell Labs site ?
	8:47am Cooh John: Thanks for the great show.
	8:47am maxwell smart∅: i had a cell-phone in the '60s, in a secret place
	8:47am love2laf: ↳ Yetz @8:45 Why yes, yes it is! www.youtube.com...

	8:49am RB: ↳ Yetz @8:47 A good friend of mine worked there then , on electric circuit boards , Jon Peticolas
	8:49am Paulo AD: Thanks Carol, great to be here with you again today :)
	🌜 8:49am Dead Seminal: ↳ Song: "Baby, You're A Rich Man" by "The Beatles" One of my very fave fab four songs, been maybe decades since I last heard it!
	8:50am The Butterman: ↳ Yetz @8:43 Yetz, did you know a gemologist named Dr. Kurt Nassau at Bell?
	8:50am RB: ↳ love2laf @8:47 The highlight is Klaus Naomi
	8:50am sm-ll: I'm always amazed at the amazing journey Carol takes us on. Thanks for letting us be passengers.
	8:50am Pablexa™: There it is!!!!
	🌜 8:50am Yetz: ↳ The Butterman @8:50 No... it was a huge place, thousands of employees
	8:50am Aaron Working In Newark: ↳ Song: "In A Big Country" by "Big Country" YESSSS!!!!!11
	8:51am Pax: ↳ Yetz @8:45 I think we watch the same TV show when they brought Bowie out in some kind of a tall bucket. My father asked, what's wrong with him.
	8:51am Nina: Wow. Really revisiting my teenage years this morning! 💜🌈💜
	8:51am Mattynotimes: Man in a big country is always a banger!
	🌜 8:51am 12539: Thanks, Carol!
	8:51am HAT OV ELDE: Thanks again Carol. We’re not worthy! ❤️
	8:52am coelacanth∅: i knew someone who grew crystals for bell labs in the 80s (berkley heights?) she and one other person grew them perfectly, apparently, and despite papers and demonstrations no one else seemed to be able to do it. she's got some published works on it. she quit after one too many toluene accidents to work in a florist shop. i don't know if anyone ever learned the crystal secret.
	8:53am Mattynotimes: Great show Carol! Have a great Sunday!
	8:53am RB: 🎵 thanks Carol 🎶!!!!!!!!!
	8:53am Aaron Working In Newark: Thank you Carol. you are the best.

	8:53am swivs: If every artist is from a country, isn't all music country music?
	8:53am Pablexa™: Cheers Caz!!
	8:54am TDK60: ↳ Song: "In A Big Country" by "Big Country" Carol - Thanks for the music. This ancient Scots music, etc! / Deciphering photographs is fun. We often try to specify the place of photos on some other WFMU shows.
	8:54am Pax: ↳ Song: "In A Big Country" by "Big Country" Bought this one on 45 7in" vinyl.
	8:54am HAT OV ELDE: I’ve heard of some crystal secrets myself. Lol
	🌜 8:54am Baja Joe: All hail the holy Anthem. Gets them going every time.
	🌜 8:54am Dead Seminal: What wonder we witness on this show, thanks Carol!

	🌜 8:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Carol. Happy Mothra's Day! (When is Rodan's Day, by the way?)
	8:55am The Butterman: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:52 Yeah, Coelacanth, Dr Kurt Nassau bought a painting from me. That’s what he did at Bell. Fascinating guy and life story.

	8:57am coelacanth∅: ↳ swivs @8:53 i think i asked my mother that when i was little!
	8:57am coelacanth∅: ↳ HAT OV ELDE @8:54 haha!
	8:57am Erik/VermonT: I recall watching that 1979 Bowie SNL perf and being mystified by it. (as a 14 /15 year old). Many weren’t up to speed with the newer oddness of his artsy ways. Final phase of the great experiments. Each of the performances were so weird, but oddly thrilling. I’ve always had a fondness & bond to his “Lodger” album - a formative touch stone that.
	🌜 8:58am john_zilla: ↳ Dead Seminal @8:54 this says it all
	8:58am upstatesean: Everyone, cheers!
	8:58am coelacanth∅: ↳ The Butterman @8:55 now i must wonder if your friend was my (then) girlfriend's crystal growing partner...
	8:58am love2laf: Now rolling into WFMU no chat zone time, the loneliest time of the week. See you all on Monday morning! Great chat today, loved it, especially the book recco's.
