	8:31pm headcleaner: Back in the 40s, when everything made more sense, we had the lovely "Flatiron of Borough Park" building at 5915 New Utrecht: 1940s.nyc... -- still standing, but now horribly mauled of course

	10:03pm StringOFperils: Hi, Sam!
	10:04pm Sam Segal: ↳ headcleaner @8:31 The 40s…back when you could get used tubes for 25 cents. You don’t even want to know what I pay for used tubes nowadays.
	10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @10:02 Thanks, Sam! Bananaphones are great. They are portable, cute, delicious, and easy to find if you need a new one.

	🥁 10:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Red Shift" by "Omni Trio" this is giving me miami vice vibes or mebbee just miami vibes
	10:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @10:09 Haha, they sure do. And, if you need to make a conference call, just grab an entire bunch.
	10:13pm Dean: I dunno. I'd prefer a smartphone. A Get Smart phone, that is, a shoe phone.
	10:13pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Back 2 Chicago" by "Lemon D" oh hell yes greetings DJ SS and peeps ✌️
	10:14pm Sam Segal: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 I do love music with Miami Vice vibes. See the Sun Araw album “On Patrol.”
	10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: Dean! I'm totally stealing that. :-) Oh, while we're here, I have good news: my town's library is hiring for a job I'm qualified for and I'd love to do. Keep you fingers crossed for me, please.
	10:15pm Sam Segal: ↳ Dean @10:13 Hahaha perfect, Dean.
	10:15pm Sam Segal: ↳ zzz @10:13 Welcome, zzz!
	🥁 10:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Sam Segal @10:14 u huh remember hearing sun araw recently and it stood out
	10:16pm Sam Segal: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:14 That’s amazing! Library jobs are the best. Definitely keep my fingers crossed for you.
	10:18pm rw: Missed me by THAT MUCH.
	10:18pm rw: Not sure why I had to say that. Hello!
	10:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @10:16 Thank you, Sam! I adore my town's library. And libraries in general.
	10:19pm rw: Somebody’s going to steal that bicycle on Utrecht Ave.
	🥁 10:19pm Bobby: All this time I thought you were out looking for our horses and you were in the kitchen!?
	10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: @rw: Hello! You said that because you were channeling Maxwell Smart, n'est-ce pas?
	10:22pm Sam Segal: ↳ Bobby @10:19 Who is to say the horses won’t show up in the kitchen?
	10:22pm Ïke: Greetings, humans!
	10:22pm rw: Oh, man. I LOVE Amara Toure. Hey Wendy! I believe you are right
	10:23pm Sam Segal: ↳ rw @10:19 It is a pretty bike. Kind of looks like my bike. For all I know, it is my bike. Hi, rw!
	10:23pm Sam Segal: ↳ Ïke @10:22 Ike! I like the ï!
	10:23pm chresti: ↳ rw @10:18 because you were Getting Smart, that's why! Gd evenning Sam ans sammers!
	10:24pm Sam Segal: Chresti! I have a faint recollection that my parents may have called me “Sammers” when I was a young child.
	10:24pm rw: yo chresti!
	10:24pm Dean: Very best of luck, Wendy Cheese Lady. I've worked in libraries for a very long time in all sorts of situations. I've loved them all.
	🥁 10:24pm Bobby: ↳ Sam Segal @10:22 Well…not me. Excellent point
	10:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @10:22 Horses show up in a kitchen if you have puppies, or at least that's what the teevee told me when I was a kid. youtu.be...
	10:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ïke @10:22 Hey Ïke!
	10:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:24 Thank you, Dean. :-)
	10:27pm zzz: nice. the Amara Toure release on analog africa is one of my favs they out out was just reading a Lucy Sante column in Maggot Brain mag that reminisces about the “sharity” of those classic music sharing blogs from the mid-late 2000s,
	10:29pm Dean: FYI, the former director of the Harvard Law Library recently retired from HLS, but she has taken over the executive director position of the public library system in Farmington, CT. To my mind, that was an astute move. She will love the work, and her time in academia will help immensely.
	10:29pm rw: Sam, I’m pretty sure that IS your bike. No reason to believe otherwise. What a crazy world we live in.
	10:30pm Sam Segal: ↳ zzz @10:27 Oh wow I need to read that. I am sure many Drummer Streamers would be interested in article like that, especially by a great writer like Sante…given how much this community first developed in part as an outgrowth of the blogging scene.
	10:31pm Sam Segal: ↳ rw @10:29 Wow, you’re right, rw. That really IS my bike.
	10:31pm Dean: I guess if you lose your bike...
	10:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:29 @Dean: My library's director came from academic libraries, too, but I forget the details of where and what he did. I think he's a great director (I'm a trustee of my library, so I get to see his work from various perspectives).
	10:34pm Dean: High school, mid-'70s, two competing vendor, TI and HP, introduce "affordable" calculators. HP's used RPN and include a weird little memory strip. TI was more intuitive. I acquired the latter, but in retrospect I wish I'd gone for the HP. RPN is cool.
	10:34pm Ïke: ↳ Sam Segal @10:23 That’s dynamic umlauting. It’s like Uber surge pricing or Wendy’s proposed dynamic fast-food pricing. I only add it occasionally when vowels are in high demand.
	10:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @10:30 Kinda unrelated, but her book on the flooding of towns upstate to create NYC's water system is a fascinating read. Also, everyone probably knows that Sante is a BIG fan of WFMU.
	10:35pm Sam Segal: ↳ Ïke @10:34 Hold up…what is “dynamic fans at-food pricing”?
	10:36pm Dean: @Wendy: The profession weirdly has this assumption that once you commit to one variety of library, you're stuck. I started in public, moved to special, returned to public, and now I'm in academic. It's good to have cross-pollination!
	10:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:36 @Dean: I agree with you beyond just libraries. I was a liberal arts student at one of the best schools for that, and they demanded we do cross-disciplinary studies. It made me a better cheesemonger, reporter, and DJ, too.
	10:38pm Sam Segal: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:35 This book looks so interesting. Hadn’t heard of it before. Will be looking for it at my local library!
	10:38pm Ïke: ↳ Sam Segal @10:35 Wendy’s (no relation to Wendy del Formaggio, ofc) wants you to know they’re NOT planning to do what it really sounds like they’re planning to do: www.npr.org...
	10:39pm doctorjazz: Hi folks! (These Brooklyn pics are circling my childhood haunts. Grew up a few blocks from New Utrecht Avenue...)
	10:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @10:38 Hooray! I got my library to carry it.
	10:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey docjazz!
	10:39pm Sam Segal: ↳ doctorjazz @10:39 One of these days I’m going to land on your childhood home, Doc. Just a matter of time…
	10:40pm Ïke: The Sunset Park branch of the Brooklyn Public Library renovated and expanded recently. It’s lovely. Kind of expected bigger Chinese and Spanish sections, though. But I can’t read Chinese anyway, and barely any Spanish, so who am I to complain?
	10:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ïke @10:38 I would like to publicly declare that it costs the same amount of money to listen to my show, regardless of how many others are tuned in.
	10:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:39 Hey, Wendy!
	10:42pm Dean: Yep, Wendy, we need to fight that anti-Liberal Arts ideology. Some disciplines require intensive specialization, others don't. I work at a law school with cohorts of simply amazing students who daily encourage me.
	10:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Sam Segal @10:39 54 street between 11th avenue and Fort Hamilton Parkway (big monastery on the corner).
	10:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ïke @10:40 I'm delighted to read about a NYC library expanding, especially during Eric cut-and-slash* Adams's reign. (* - does not apply to the NYPD)
	10:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:42 WORD! Sadly, Dean, my beloved alma mater didn't make it. It closed a few years ago and I'm still in mourning for all the kiddos who will never get a Marlboro College education.
	10:44pm Dean: Those students have studied the gamut. Some do STEM, some Humanities -- Rhetoric?! -- some psychology or sociology or statistics... They are all well-equipped in their own ways to forge ahead and make progress.
	10:45pm Dean: Yeah, my undergrad college -- alum Richard Nixon! -- is having serious problems.
	10:45pm Ïke: Wait, Marlboro College is gone?! Dang.
	10:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ïke @10:45 You know about it? I'm always surprised when people do, because it was so small and rural.
	10:46pm Ïke: ↳ doctorjazz @10:42 Did you ever shop at Circus Fruits?
	10:47pm doctorjazz: My college is still around (City University), but may High School and Elementary Schools are gone (not tragic).
	10:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ïke @10:46 Don't think so (but my mom did most of the shopping).
	10:48pm Dean: Administrations want to "run" colleges and universities "like a business." I can't think of anything more nincompoop, but then I'm an anarchist and a socialist.
	10:49pm Ïke: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:46 My Dad knew it was there, but probably only because he liked the classical music concerts. Those were there, right? I think I got dragged to a few of those as a teen and sat in the car grumbling and DX-ing Boston college radio stations.
	10:50pm Dean: Sounds like it merged with Emerson College and became "Marlboro Institute of Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies. Marlboro students were guaranteed admission and tenure-track faculty were guaranteed teaching positions at Emerson [College]."
	10:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ïke @10:49 Yup, that's it! The music festival has purchased the campus, which I think is a mitzvah.
	10:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Dean (10:48) you nailed it! Marlboro's demise began with a president who was hired during my junior year who had that same bullshit ethos. Don't even get me started. Oy gevalt. I'm with you: don't run schools, libraries, or gummints like businesses! Glad to read you're an anarchist AND a socialist. Too many folks think those are mutually-exclusive. Then again, too many folks are stupid.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Sam, horsepeople
	10:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Dean (10:50) Yeah, but it's not the same. Marlboro's success was a lot about its location. I'm still so very sad. I don't want to get too deep into it now because it'll activate me too much before bed. Sigh...
	10:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey coela!
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: hi Wendy!
	10:57pm Dean: I get it, Wendy. Good night, sleep tight, don't think further about matters out of our control.
	10:58pm Sam Segal: Welcome, Coel!
	10:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thank you, Dean. <3 Good reminder.
	10:59pm Sam Segal: I forgot to mention that I played that Sachiko Kanenobu song because it was featured in the soundtrack for the new Wim Wenders movie “Perfect Days.” Anybody see it yet by chance?
	11:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @10:59 Not yet! But it's high on my list.
	11:03pm Dean: Wim Wenders makes me think of Ronee Blakley, married once upon a time to WW. I heard her perform live at Al's Bar, one of the punk venues of LA. It was incredible.
	11:04pm Sam Segal: I liked it for the most part. Felt slightly weird that the soundtrack is made up entirely of songs the main character plays on cassettes in his car. This Japanese character is supposed to listen to almost entirely American music except that one Sachiko Kanenobu song. Seemed kind of off but what do I know?
	11:05pm Sam Segal: ↳ Dean @11:03 I believe Wim has been married four or five times.
	11:05pm Dean: Same here. No, once. Only once.
	11:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @11:05 Maybe he's just a matrimonial maximalist.
	11:08pm Sam Segal: A minimalist filmmaker, a matrimonial maximalist. This tracks somehow.
	11:26pm Dean: Yuja Wang's Scriabin at Verbier 2008...holy guacamole.
	11:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: Sam! What a great show tonight. I made some art, listened to fine music, had nice chats with your listeners. Thank you! But now I must get ready for bed. Hope to meet you during marathon.
	11:41pm Sam Segal: Thanks, Wendy! Great having you aboard. Sleep well!
	🥁 11:49pm Manta: Oh what a show, thanks Sam!!
	11:51pm Sam Segal: Glad you could be here to listen, Manta!
	11:54pm headcleaner: ↳ Dean @11:03 Looking up Ronee Blakley now ... yup, quite a voice. Definitely merits closer study
	11:55pm zzz: thx Sam goodnight all,
	11:55pm StringOFperils: Fantastic radio heights, Sam! Your apartment is a mighty place, ha ha. Thanks!
	11:55pm Dean: Indeed, @headcleaner. Small discography, as I recall, but at least check out the Nashville soundtrack or her second(?) album.
	11:56pm Dean: And she played one of LA's premier punk venues. Quite an evening that was.
	11:59pm Dean: Garth Knox, an early Arditti Quartet violist. He's moved on to do some interesting stuff, often on ECM.
	12:00am coelacanth∅: Thanks Sam
	12:01am rw: Thanks Sam.
	10:49am doctorjazz: Great show, just caught up, bit of an international feel today, thanks Sam!

	10:38pm Ïke: ↳ Sam Segal @10:35 Wendy’s (no relation to Wendy del Formaggio, ofc) wants you to know they’re NOT planning to do what it really sounds like they’re planning to do: www.npr.org...
	10:39pm doctorjazz: Hi folks! (These Brooklyn pics are circling my childhood haunts. Grew up a few blocks from New Utrecht Avenue...)
	10:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @10:38 Hooray! I got my library to carry it.
	10:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey docjazz!
	10:39pm Sam Segal: ↳ doctorjazz @10:39 One of these days I’m going to land on your childhood home, Doc. Just a matter of time…
	10:40pm Ïke: The Sunset Park branch of the Brooklyn Public Library renovated and expanded recently. It’s lovely. Kind of expected bigger Chinese and Spanish sections, though. But I can’t read Chinese anyway, and barely any Spanish, so who am I to complain?
	10:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ïke @10:38 I would like to publicly declare that it costs the same amount of money to listen to my show, regardless of how many others are tuned in.
	10:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:39 Hey, Wendy!
	10:42pm Dean: Yep, Wendy, we need to fight that anti-Liberal Arts ideology. Some disciplines require intensive specialization, others don't. I work at a law school with cohorts of simply amazing students who daily encourage me.
	10:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Sam Segal @10:39 54 street between 11th avenue and Fort Hamilton Parkway (big monastery on the corner).
	10:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ïke @10:40 I'm delighted to read about a NYC library expanding, especially during Eric cut-and-slash* Adams's reign. (* - does not apply to the NYPD)
	10:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:42 WORD! Sadly, Dean, my beloved alma mater didn't make it. It closed a few years ago and I'm still in mourning for all the kiddos who will never get a Marlboro College education.
	10:44pm Dean: Those students have studied the gamut. Some do STEM, some Humanities -- Rhetoric?! -- some psychology or sociology or statistics... They are all well-equipped in their own ways to forge ahead and make progress.
	10:45pm Dean: Yeah, my undergrad college -- alum Richard Nixon! -- is having serious problems.
	10:45pm Ïke: Wait, Marlboro College is gone?! Dang.
	10:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ïke @10:45 You know about it? I'm always surprised when people do, because it was so small and rural.
	10:46pm Ïke: ↳ doctorjazz @10:42 Did you ever shop at Circus Fruits?
	10:47pm doctorjazz: My college is still around (City University), but may High School and Elementary Schools are gone (not tragic).
	10:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ïke @10:46 Don't think so (but my mom did most of the shopping).
	10:48pm Dean: Administrations want to "run" colleges and universities "like a business." I can't think of anything more nincompoop, but then I'm an anarchist and a socialist.
	10:49pm Ïke: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:46 My Dad knew it was there, but probably only because he liked the classical music concerts. Those were there, right? I think I got dragged to a few of those as a teen and sat in the car grumbling and DX-ing Boston college radio stations.
	10:50pm Dean: Sounds like it merged with Emerson College and became "Marlboro Institute of Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies. Marlboro students were guaranteed admission and tenure-track faculty were guaranteed teaching positions at Emerson [College]."
	10:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ïke @10:49 Yup, that's it! The music festival has purchased the campus, which I think is a mitzvah.
	10:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Dean (10:48) you nailed it! Marlboro's demise began with a president who was hired during my junior year who had that same bullshit ethos. Don't even get me started. Oy gevalt. I'm with you: don't run schools, libraries, or gummints like businesses! Glad to read you're an anarchist AND a socialist. Too many folks think those are mutually-exclusive. Then again, too many folks are stupid.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Sam, horsepeople
	10:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Dean (10:50) Yeah, but it's not the same. Marlboro's success was a lot about its location. I'm still so very sad. I don't want to get too deep into it now because it'll activate me too much before bed. Sigh...
	10:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey coela!
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: hi Wendy!
	10:57pm Dean: I get it, Wendy. Good night, sleep tight, don't think further about matters out of our control.
	10:58pm Sam Segal: Welcome, Coel!
	10:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thank you, Dean. <3 Good reminder.
	10:59pm Sam Segal: I forgot to mention that I played that Sachiko Kanenobu song because it was featured in the soundtrack for the new Wim Wenders movie “Perfect Days.” Anybody see it yet by chance?
	11:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @10:59 Not yet! But it's high on my list.
	11:03pm Dean: Wim Wenders makes me think of Ronee Blakley, married once upon a time to WW. I heard her perform live at Al's Bar, one of the punk venues of LA. It was incredible.
	11:04pm Sam Segal: I liked it for the most part. Felt slightly weird that the soundtrack is made up entirely of songs the main character plays on cassettes in his car. This Japanese character is supposed to listen to almost entirely American music except that one Sachiko Kanenobu song. Seemed kind of off but what do I know?
	11:05pm Sam Segal: ↳ Dean @11:03 I believe Wim has been married four or five times.
	11:05pm Dean: Same here. No, once. Only once.
	11:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Sam Segal @11:05 Maybe he's just a matrimonial maximalist.
	11:08pm Sam Segal: A minimalist filmmaker, a matrimonial maximalist. This tracks somehow.
	11:26pm Dean: Yuja Wang's Scriabin at Verbier 2008...holy guacamole.
	11:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: Sam! What a great show tonight. I made some art, listened to fine music, had nice chats with your listeners. Thank you! But now I must get ready for bed. Hope to meet you during marathon.
	11:41pm Sam Segal: Thanks, Wendy! Great having you aboard. Sleep well!
	🥁 11:49pm Manta: Oh what a show, thanks Sam!!
	11:51pm Sam Segal: Glad you could be here to listen, Manta!
	11:54pm headcleaner: ↳ Dean @11:03 Looking up Ronee Blakley now ... yup, quite a voice. Definitely merits closer study
	11:55pm zzz: thx Sam goodnight all,
	11:55pm StringOFperils: Fantastic radio heights, Sam! Your apartment is a mighty place, ha ha. Thanks!
	11:55pm Dean: Indeed, @headcleaner. Small discography, as I recall, but at least check out the Nashville soundtrack or her second(?) album.
	11:56pm Dean: And she played one of LA's premier punk venues. Quite an evening that was.
	11:59pm Dean: Garth Knox, an early Arditti Quartet violist. He's moved on to do some interesting stuff, often on ECM.
	12:00am coelacanth∅: Thanks Sam
	12:01am rw: Thanks Sam.
	10:49am doctorjazz: Great show, just caught up, bit of an international feel today, thanks Sam!
