	3:03pm Krys O.: Hello!

	3:03pm G: Relaxez-vous
	🥀 3:04pm winston legthigh: happy happy joy joy mona mona!
	3:04pm honest Bernardo from Argentina: Mona Mona Mona! Thank you so much for hyping Top Boy ! I have not been able to look away from the screen since you mentioned the show…I’ve just been in a Top Boy trance. ❤️
	3:05pm cl@m_digger: Mona! ‘5:00 pm on a Friday’ by sadness was my number 1 on Spotify wrapped all thanks to you
	3:09pm TDK60: Hi DJ Mona.
	3:10pm goes211: Happy Friday everyone. Glad to have these tunes filling the air around me! Thanks, Mona!
	3:10pm Chris Hiatt: Good Afternoon, peoples! Hope all is well.
	3:10pm coelacanth∅: hello
	3:12pm tbird: needed this calming energy. thanks!
	3:13pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Ike @3:03 Heck yeah! Love them!
	🥀 3:14pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ cl@m_digger @3:05 I miss the "Beware of the Blog"-era year end lists that DJs used to compile. More useful to me than Spotify or Apple telling me what I already played. That said, I can see a lot of FMU influence in my own year-end reports.
	3:15pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @3:14 I haven’t found my Spotify wrapped, it’s all other people’s best of 2023, then again, I made a new account and I barley use it
	🥀 3:19pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:15 I don't use it much either. My #1 song was from Patricia Wolf early in the year and I didn't even remember listening to it. Apple had me down for Music for Nine Postcards which sounds pretty fair.
	3:19pm emilie s: I have yet to hear a single piece of Ethiopian music I didn't absolutely love. Anyone know if Bryce has done a 3-hour Ethiopian show lately?
	🥀 3:19pm Ciggy: Hola Mona 🖤
	3:20pm mndave: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:15 My spotify wrapped, if I look at it, will likely be Quad City DJs' "C'mon and Ride it (The Train)" because I played it a bunch after Carol played it on her Sunday morning show, haha
	🥀 3:20pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Homesickness, Pt. 2" by "Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou" a life-changing record
	3:21pm abbazabba: My gosh, this is beautiful
	🥀 3:22pm Ciggy: I posted on Wake this morning: Today is my father's birthday anniversary. If he were posting comments on the accu-playlist, his name would've been "Cigars & Chivas" Pixie Dust Pop
	3:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Homesickness, Pt. 2" by "Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou" never heard that one before, different, more chordal, i guess, than others that i heard... great stuff. i think of her being sister musician to alice coltrane
	3:25pm coelacanth∅: "spotify wrapped" is that your personal listening stats? my most listened to song (on spotify) this year is probably music for 18 musicians by Steve Reich. almost every night, often twice/night
	3:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:25 i believe in doing that, getting to know something well, not as ephemera
	3:30pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Evidently Chickentown" by "John Cooper Clarke" bloody hell! Hi Mona!
	3:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Evidently Chickentown" by "John Cooper Clarke" resembles sleaford mods, boy-o
	🥀 3:33pm Michael 98145: Keep the bloody racket down This is bloody Chickentown
	3:36pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Evidently Chickentown" by "John Cooper Clarke" I need to find more context/history for this!
	3:37pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "'Cello Song" by "Fontaines D.C." Interesting take on this tune!
	🥀 3:37pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "'Cello Song" by "Fontaines D.C." This is a really cool reimagining of the cello song.
	🥀 3:37pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Chris Hiatt @3:37 yeah what you said!
	3:38pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "'Cello Song" by "Fontaines D.C." I know this sounded familiar!
	3:39pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah" by "The Wedding Present" Just thinking, yesterday, that I haven't been paying enough attention to David Gedge.
	🥀 3:39pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Chris Hiatt @3:37 It's kind of like a mashup with Walking on Sunshine. Totally counterintuitive but it worked.
	3:39pm diciassette: ↳ diciassette @3:38 †knew
	🥀 3:39pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Turkish Song of the Damned" by "The Pogues" RIP
	🥀 3:39pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Turkish Song of the Damned" by "The Pogues" yes! RIP, Shane! <3
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:27 this is something that almost always helps me sleep when everything else fails. but i have thought about that - all the options. i'm so Thankful for them; but when we were young we'd save our leaf-raking money for an album and that album was it, the only new music for a while. even if it was a disappointment, i listened to it at least a few dozen times to make sure - and inevitably grow to appreciate it.
	🥀 3:41pm Michael 98145: I know Fairytale of New York is getting a lot of play, but why the hell not?
	3:42pm mndave: ↳ Song: "Turkish Song of the Damned" by "The Pogues" Absolutely beautiful words from Ted Leo at tedleo.com re: Shane.
	3:42pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:36 No guarantee that any of this is connected, but from a 2014 interview: I was in a high street the other day – it was three chicken outlets, two bookies, a Poundland and a Costcutter. A place where you pawn your possessions, a place where you stock up on shite food and a place where you lose your cash on a bet to get you out of there. Who made that happen? www.theguardian.com...
	3:42pm mndave: ↳ mndave @3:42 www.tedleo.com
	3:42pm Thin Slice: I heard a touching clip on an Irish radio station of Shane McGowan singing Fairy Tale of New York with a fan while sitting in the fan's kitchen for an interview
	🥀 3:45pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Nine While Nine" by "The Sisters of Mercy" This is so 80s. Love it.
	3:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:40 i thought after commenting, that it depends on what piece of music you choose, some, a lot of it is ephemera, reich certainly isn't
	3:45pm egould: ↳ Song: "Nine While Nine" by "The Sisters of Mercy" This song makes me want to paint my fingernails black and smoke clove cigarettes.
	3:45pm Mona: ↳ honest Bernardo from Argentina @3:04 YESSS! another happy customer...station manager ken said the same! i'm so honored to spread the top boy gospel
	3:46pm Mona: ↳ cl@m_digger @3:05 u complete me
	3:46pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:42 "The poem bears a resemblance to a 1952 work titled 'The Bloody Orkneys', written by Andrew James Fraser Blair, author and journalist, under the pseudonym Captain Hamish Blair. In 2009 Clarke said he 'didn't consciously copy it. But I must have heard that poem, years ago. It's terrific.' " en.wikipedia.org...
	3:47pm dro: ↳ Song: "En La Noche" by "French Police" I love Sting and the French Police
	3:47pm Zip7: ↳ Thin Slice @3:42 My late wife loved Shane McGowan's work so much. Before she passed from ALS, we spent months going through thousands and thousands of songs to compile a playlist. When she liked a title, she would "ding" her bell like Hector Salamanca. The very last song on the playlist was the Pogues' "Down in the Ground Where the Dead Men Go." Irish to the depths of her soul, with a dark, dark sense of humor. Miss you, Julie . . .
	3:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:46 that song sent you down the rabbit hole but you came up with carrots
	3:49pm Mona: ↳ Ciggy @3:22 happy birthday papa ciggy <3 <3
	3:49pm Jeff Moore: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:49 I think so! I wanted to share the produce!
	3:50pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Zip7 @3:47 🍀 lost my irish mom to ALS it’s tough thanks for the share
	3:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:49 ha!

	3:59pm MTA Luke: been a great show so far !
	4:00pm northguineahills: so, it looks like i'll be starting a full-time temp job at the Manhattan DA's Offce in January as I wait for my security clearance to pass for my real job. Basically a glorified spreadsheet/database analysist working on legal writing reports to present to lawyers and politicians. not ideal, it doesn't pay as much as my real job, but it gets me to nyc and income asap.

	4:05pm Tom inboston: damn Elliott Smith wrote some beautiful music didn't he?
	4:05pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Waltz #2" by "Elliott Smith" Oh my dear, Mona. I love you again. Even Elliot Smith's happy songs are sad.

	🥀 4:12pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): If and only if you're looking for more total request live this slow burn has been running through my head for obvious reasons today: Lambchop - "The December-ish You" A little electronic vocals, steel pedal, trip hoppy downtempo that might not be out of place here.
	🥀 4:13pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): But only if you weren't joking about requests. I don't like to impose.
	4:13pm Picante Mint: ↳ Song: "Condolences" by "Benjamin Clementine" This is fantastic. What a unique style.
	🥀 4:14pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Meaty Business" by "Addison Groove" nice. wild.
	🥀 4:16pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Heyo! Working late tonight; got a late start and dealing with end of year/holiday crapola on top of it all, but loving the tunes. Finally had...breakfast/lunch/coffee. Treated myself to a piece of spinach pie and a bit of a peach strudel -- have not seen peach strudel in a bakery in a zillion years. And a giant coffee. Have to restrain myself or I will weigh 7,000 lbs and be visible from space; bakery is dangerously close to my place...

	4:38pm G: Is that all there is?
	4:38pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Is That All There Is?" by "Peggy Lee" I'm so used to PJ Harvey's slow ominous version of this song that this sounds alien.
	4:39pm Thin Slice: This song wastes no time. Our house caught on fire.
	4:39pm DanFA: ↳ G @4:38 Maybe
	4:39pm cheyenne: Omg the Cristina cover of this is my favorite, but nothing hits like the original

	4:46pm northguineahills: i've been asked to brainstorm to find a user-friendly pivot table/db spreadsheet system to replace MS excel w/ a meeting w/ my boss on Monday. Then the details of my temp job will be ironed out and i can come up new years. financially, hanging by a hang nail, (but a temp light at the end of the tunnel is nice [same office as my real job, different building since i won't be handling sensitive data until my security clearance goes through])

	4:49pm DanFA: ↳ northguineahills @4:46 Once you get the job how soon will you get your first check?

Listener comments!
	🥀 3:02pm Michael 98145: Whee !!
	3:02pm common: mona! all. happy friday!
	3:03pm Krys O.: Hello!
	3:03pm Ike: Play some Curve!
	🥀 3:03pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Hi, Mona! Sometimes chaos yields amazing results. Fingers crossed for you.
	3:03pm G: Relaxez-vous
	🥀 3:04pm winston legthigh: happy happy joy joy mona mona!
	3:04pm honest Bernardo from Argentina: Mona Mona Mona! Thank you so much for hyping Top Boy ! I have not been able to look away from the screen since you mentioned the show…I’ve just been in a Top Boy trance. ❤️
	3:05pm cl@m_digger: Mona! ‘5:00 pm on a Friday’ by sadness was my number 1 on Spotify wrapped all thanks to you
	3:09pm TDK60: Hi DJ Mona.
	3:10pm goes211: Happy Friday everyone. Glad to have these tunes filling the air around me! Thanks, Mona!
	3:10pm Chris Hiatt: Good Afternoon, peoples! Hope all is well.
	3:10pm coelacanth∅: hello
	3:12pm tbird: needed this calming energy. thanks!
	3:13pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Ike @3:03 Heck yeah! Love them!
	🥀 3:14pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ cl@m_digger @3:05 I miss the "Beware of the Blog"-era year end lists that DJs used to compile. More useful to me than Spotify or Apple telling me what I already played. That said, I can see a lot of FMU influence in my own year-end reports.
	3:15pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @3:14 I haven’t found my Spotify wrapped, it’s all other people’s best of 2023, then again, I made a new account and I barley use it
	🥀 3:19pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:15 I don't use it much either. My #1 song was from Patricia Wolf early in the year and I didn't even remember listening to it. Apple had me down for Music for Nine Postcards which sounds pretty fair.
	3:19pm emilie s: I have yet to hear a single piece of Ethiopian music I didn't absolutely love. Anyone know if Bryce has done a 3-hour Ethiopian show lately?
	🥀 3:19pm Ciggy: Hola Mona 🖤
	3:20pm mndave: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:15 My spotify wrapped, if I look at it, will likely be Quad City DJs' "C'mon and Ride it (The Train)" because I played it a bunch after Carol played it on her Sunday morning show, haha
	🥀 3:20pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Homesickness, Pt. 2" by "Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou" a life-changing record
	3:21pm abbazabba: My gosh, this is beautiful
	🥀 3:22pm Ciggy: I posted on Wake this morning: Today is my father's birthday anniversary. If he were posting comments on the accu-playlist, his name would've been "Cigars & Chivas" Pixie Dust Pop
	3:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Homesickness, Pt. 2" by "Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou" never heard that one before, different, more chordal, i guess, than others that i heard... great stuff. i think of her being sister musician to alice coltrane
	3:25pm coelacanth∅: "spotify wrapped" is that your personal listening stats? my most listened to song (on spotify) this year is probably music for 18 musicians by Steve Reich. almost every night, often twice/night
	3:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:25 i believe in doing that, getting to know something well, not as ephemera
	3:30pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Evidently Chickentown" by "John Cooper Clarke" bloody hell! Hi Mona!
	3:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Evidently Chickentown" by "John Cooper Clarke" resembles sleaford mods, boy-o
	🥀 3:33pm Michael 98145: Keep the bloody racket down This is bloody Chickentown
	3:36pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Evidently Chickentown" by "John Cooper Clarke" I need to find more context/history for this!
	3:37pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "'Cello Song" by "Fontaines D.C." Interesting take on this tune!
	🥀 3:37pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "'Cello Song" by "Fontaines D.C." This is a really cool reimagining of the cello song.
	🥀 3:37pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Chris Hiatt @3:37 yeah what you said!
	3:38pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "'Cello Song" by "Fontaines D.C." I know this sounded familiar!
	3:39pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah" by "The Wedding Present" Just thinking, yesterday, that I haven't been paying enough attention to David Gedge.
	🥀 3:39pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Chris Hiatt @3:37 It's kind of like a mashup with Walking on Sunshine. Totally counterintuitive but it worked.
	3:39pm diciassette: ↳ diciassette @3:38 †knew
	🥀 3:39pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Turkish Song of the Damned" by "The Pogues" RIP
	🥀 3:39pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Turkish Song of the Damned" by "The Pogues" yes! RIP, Shane! <3
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:27 this is something that almost always helps me sleep when everything else fails. but i have thought about that - all the options. i'm so Thankful for them; but when we were young we'd save our leaf-raking money for an album and that album was it, the only new music for a while. even if it was a disappointment, i listened to it at least a few dozen times to make sure - and inevitably grow to appreciate it.
	🥀 3:41pm Michael 98145: I know Fairytale of New York is getting a lot of play, but why the hell not?
	3:42pm mndave: ↳ Song: "Turkish Song of the Damned" by "The Pogues" Absolutely beautiful words from Ted Leo at tedleo.com re: Shane.
	3:42pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:36 No guarantee that any of this is connected, but from a 2014 interview: I was in a high street the other day – it was three chicken outlets, two bookies, a Poundland and a Costcutter. A place where you pawn your possessions, a place where you stock up on shite food and a place where you lose your cash on a bet to get you out of there. Who made that happen? www.theguardian.com...
	3:42pm mndave: ↳ mndave @3:42 www.tedleo.com
	3:42pm Thin Slice: I heard a touching clip on an Irish radio station of Shane McGowan singing Fairy Tale of New York with a fan while sitting in the fan's kitchen for an interview
	🥀 3:45pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Nine While Nine" by "The Sisters of Mercy" This is so 80s. Love it.
	3:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:40 i thought after commenting, that it depends on what piece of music you choose, some, a lot of it is ephemera, reich certainly isn't
	3:45pm egould: ↳ Song: "Nine While Nine" by "The Sisters of Mercy" This song makes me want to paint my fingernails black and smoke clove cigarettes.
	3:45pm Mona: ↳ honest Bernardo from Argentina @3:04 YESSS! another happy customer...station manager ken said the same! i'm so honored to spread the top boy gospel
	3:46pm Mona: ↳ cl@m_digger @3:05 u complete me
	3:46pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:42 "The poem bears a resemblance to a 1952 work titled 'The Bloody Orkneys', written by Andrew James Fraser Blair, author and journalist, under the pseudonym Captain Hamish Blair. In 2009 Clarke said he 'didn't consciously copy it. But I must have heard that poem, years ago. It's terrific.' " en.wikipedia.org...
	3:47pm dro: ↳ Song: "En La Noche" by "French Police" I love Sting and the French Police
	3:47pm Zip7: ↳ Thin Slice @3:42 My late wife loved Shane McGowan's work so much. Before she passed from ALS, we spent months going through thousands and thousands of songs to compile a playlist. When she liked a title, she would "ding" her bell like Hector Salamanca. The very last song on the playlist was the Pogues' "Down in the Ground Where the Dead Men Go." Irish to the depths of her soul, with a dark, dark sense of humor. Miss you, Julie . . .
	3:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:46 that song sent you down the rabbit hole but you came up with carrots
	3:49pm Mona: ↳ Ciggy @3:22 happy birthday papa ciggy <3 <3
	3:49pm Jeff Moore: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:49 I think so! I wanted to share the produce!
	3:50pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Zip7 @3:47 🍀 lost my irish mom to ALS it’s tough thanks for the share
	3:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:49 ha!
	3:51pm AYAYRON: Thank you Mona. Exactly my mood right now
	🥀 3:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ Zip7 @3:47 Great story. Thank you ...
	3:52pm Ike: ↳ Song: "Horror Head" by "Curve" Thanks Mona!
	🥀 3:52pm Michael 98145: Curve !
	3:52pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Horror Head" by "Curve" Oh Mona... I love you. Curve is the sounds of my college days. Thank you.
	🥀 3:52pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Horror Head" by "Curve" Hellz yeah!
	3:53pm Mona: ↳ diciassette @3:39 same
	3:53pm common: my fav curve tune. thanks, mona!
	3:55pm ∫ydniuß: that cover is something! 🌈
	3:55pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Animal Nitrate" by "Suede" fork yes!
	3:57pm northguineahills: ↳ diciassette @3:55 what diciassette said....
	🥀 3:57pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Zip7 @3:47 Thanks for sharing this.
	3:59pm MTA Luke: been a great show so far !
	4:00pm northguineahills: so, it looks like i'll be starting a full-time temp job at the Manhattan DA's Offce in January as I wait for my security clearance to pass for my real job. Basically a glorified spreadsheet/database analysist working on legal writing reports to present to lawyers and politicians. not ideal, it doesn't pay as much as my real job, but it gets me to nyc and income asap.
	4:01pm dano59: Shane is the fanzine writer in Billy Bragg’s ‘Waiting for the Great Leap Forward’
	🥀 4:01pm Michael 98145: ↳ northguineahills @4:00 good news !
	4:02pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ northguineahills @4:00 Ok cool, that sounds like progress!
	4:02pm PoL in Berlin: Hi Mona, i never am listening at this time but tuned in today. Very nice set. thank you!
	4:02pm Gary: Great set Mona
	4:03pm Thin Slice: ↳ Zip7 @3:47 I'm sorry to hear this Zip7. I think I would make the same choice. Thank you for sharing her sense of humor.
	4:05pm Tom inboston: damn Elliott Smith wrote some beautiful music didn't he?
	4:05pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Waltz #2" by "Elliott Smith" Oh my dear, Mona. I love you again. Even Elliot Smith's happy songs are sad.
	4:05pm Brett: Hi Mona! When/where was that event you were just talking about DJing at? (missed those details)
	🥀 4:06pm winston legthigh: ↳ northguineahills @4:00 excellent ngh! will be in touch soon. alot of chaos at the ranch this week.

	4:10pm Robm: afternoon fellow monaiacs
	4:10pm Mona: ↳ Zip7 @3:47 big hug zip7 - julie sounds amazing <3
	🥀 4:12pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): If and only if you're looking for more total request live this slow burn has been running through my head for obvious reasons today: Lambchop - "The December-ish You" A little electronic vocals, steel pedal, trip hoppy downtempo that might not be out of place here.
	🥀 4:13pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): But only if you weren't joking about requests. I don't like to impose.
	4:13pm Picante Mint: ↳ Song: "Condolences" by "Benjamin Clementine" This is fantastic. What a unique style.
	🥀 4:14pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Meaty Business" by "Addison Groove" nice. wild.
	🥀 4:16pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Heyo! Working late tonight; got a late start and dealing with end of year/holiday crapola on top of it all, but loving the tunes. Finally had...breakfast/lunch/coffee. Treated myself to a piece of spinach pie and a bit of a peach strudel -- have not seen peach strudel in a bakery in a zillion years. And a giant coffee. Have to restrain myself or I will weigh 7,000 lbs and be visible from space; bakery is dangerously close to my place...
	4:16pm Liverpool Andrea: Hi from Liverpool UK 👋🖤 Mona - I love your sets. I don’t usually listen live but always the archived playlists but tonight I got lucky to be available to listen
