	3:25pm steveo: Did Nilsson write this?

	3:26pm steveo: ↳ steveo @3:25 Yes! Cool. Never knew
	3:28pm Paul with a P: brownie points for that hot shots gif
	3:29pm egould: ↳ Paul with a P @3:28 Yes the Hot Shots gif is spectacular.

	🥀 3:32pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Threemoons @3:31 Hi! Sounds like a feast is about to occur!
	3:33pm roc: It used to be on the classic rock channel but then the demographics shifted and classic rock is the 90s now on there. I dont listen much to the q

	🥀 3:33pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ roc @3:33 Funny, I was talking about the Q with a friend today
	3:33pm steveo: "Three dog night" is an expression that describes a night that is so cold that three dogs are needed in bed to keep warm
	3:33pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Nights in White Satin" by "The Moody Blues" www.youtube.com...
	3:34pm roc: That ol' q.
	3:34pm Ike: Maybe someone needs to kick the RDS box. It's still showing Massive Attack, LOL. Turn it off and back on again, maybe?
	🥀 3:34pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ steveo @3:33 Haha! Is there a "Three Cat Night"?
	3:35pm roc: This vocalist rules
	🥀 3:35pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Ike @3:34 Mine's fine. You might want to refresh. It happens from time to time
	3:35pm βrian: ↳ Song: "Ode D'ibn Arabi" by "Amina Alaoui" Oh my, this is lovely.
	3:35pm steveo: ↳ Ike @3:34 Mine's correct. Maybe the wind blew away the bits before they hit to your radio
	🥀 3:36pm Threemoons: ↳ Sean T-Rex @3:32 Yup, taco night later. Part of box was some fresh chorizo sausage blend and fresh lean ground beef. I have a Turkish-style veggie blisterer so want to do tomatillo salsa if I can
	🥀 3:36pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And now, back to the grind alas...Love the tunes.
	3:36pm steveo: ↳ Sean T-Rex @3:34 It all depends on taste, I suppose
	🥀 3:37pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Threemoons @3:36 Wow, that sounds amazing! Enjoy!
	3:37pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Sean T-Rex @3:34 Every night at our house. We actually only have two cats but they take up alotta space.
	🥀 3:37pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Song: "Nights in White Satin" by "The Moody Blues" And FYI -- when I was in JHS one of the kids in the class before/after me carved ALL of the lyrics to this song into the desk.
	3:37pm Ike: ↳ Sean T-Rex @3:35 That's odd. So I need to switch my radio off and back on again sometimes? Well, you're right, it worked!
	🥀 3:38pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Flowers That Talk" by "Beings" Very fine...
	🥀 3:38pm Levi: is this a cover of a scientists song?
	🥀 3:39pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:37 My single cat takes up a lot of space. But I allow it, she's my little shadow

	🥀 3:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @3:46 Hey, Adi: tried to tell you the other day, but I just wanted to say I have really been enjoying reading Betsy's adventures on Webtoon.
	🥀 3:48pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:47 "Almost there!" "Stay on target!"
	🥀 3:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ winston legthigh @3:48 Would suck if they took it back before you got to your Luxardo guy!
	🥀 3:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:44 Get him practicing folding T-shirts until he tires out. The bonus is he can help out for Woof Moo volunteering one day.

	🥀 3:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:48 K8's been in Seattle since Wednesday, and she gets back Sun. On Mon. I am leaving the pup with her for a few hours so I can fold some t-shirts and relieve some stress!

	🥀 3:51pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:50 I'll have been drawing her for eight years on May 1st. What started as an experiment kind of...stuck 😂
	🥀 3:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @3:51 Fantastic!
	🥀 3:53pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:52 I recommend everyone have a go at cartooning at least once. Its very therapeutic 😀
	3:54pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:41 By my reckoning, it's got to be around 25 o'clock.
	🥀 3:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @3:54 FOR REALS
	🥀 3:55pm Adi From Sheffield: Some deep cuts here Mona 🔥
	🥀 3:56pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @3:54 You coming to this benefit in Greenpoint next week?
	🥀 3:56pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @3:50 Pouring you a cup Enjoy!
	🥀 3:57pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Sean T-Rex @3:56 Much obliged, thank you 😉
	3:57pm DanFA: Such vile language. Thank you, Mona
	3:58pm Spikey BXL: Finally no more driving today, time to pour myself one.
	🥀 3:58pm Sean T-Rex: I feel protected. Thank you Mona! My bubble is secure!
	3:58pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:56 Ima try to. Penciled it in but gotta to see what the ledgers look like.
	4:01pm David L.: Pretty sure "Hunter Gets Captured..." was Marvelettes. Definitely Motown.
	🥀 4:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @3:58 I'll be volunteering at it. Should be there the whole time.
	4:02pm Wendi: Drum circle vibes for prospect park thanks
	4:03pm Mona: ↳ David L. @4:01 as I said Grace Jones my mind went to a girl group as the cover and i panicked and went blank lol
	4:04pm jms in upstate manhattan: Hunter written by Smokey Robinson and recorded by the Marvelettes (and I thought it was Martha and the Vandellas)
	4:05pm jms in upstate manhattan: But both Hunter and Dancing in the Streets (Martha et al.) were covered by J. Garcia, hence my confusion
	4:06pm jms in upstate manhattan: But the Massive cover is... well, massive!
	4:07pm ∫ydniuß: ADB used mini-DIN-4, pictured is DIN-5
	4:08pm Jim in MA: Hello Mona! Let's crank up the fun together!
	4:08pm ∫ydniuß: yeah that’s MIDI, so 🤷‍♂️
	🥀 4:08pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:07 Is it a MIDI port?
	4:08pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:08 coke!
	4:10pm David L.: ↳ Mona @4:03 Ha! Know the feeling all too well. Another 10 seconds, you woulda had it 💪
	4:11pm ∫ydniuß: and if you’re buying MIDI gear, avoid MOTU, they need kernel drivers and the support is nichtsogut
	🥀 4:11pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:08 Now pointless searching for the Classic's MIDI compatibility. Not that I have a classic nor any interest in MIDI'ing one up 😂
	4:12pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:11 there were serial port solutions of the time. All USB these days of course
	🥀 4:12pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:11 our studio was just getting rid of some MOTU soundcards/bits. Never used them personally.
	🥀 4:13pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:12 I always remember if you wanted to buy a serial MIDI adaptor in the UK they were back in the day hideously expensive.
	4:13pm sphere: Sad to hear about MOTU, they were among the first to get PCs to do MIDI.
	4:14pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ sphere @4:13 replaced a usb midi box with M-Audio, their driver was the crash vector and they just started ignoring me when I got more specific
	4:15pm ∫ydniuß: the M-audio one doesn’t need drivers and works a treat
	4:17pm Jim in MA: Experiencing MIDI adapter quirks? Share your gear tales here!
	🥀 4:18pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Gin In My System (feat. The Louisiana Philharmoni... Weak Signal's "Drugs in My System" would be a good follow-up.
	4:18pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Gin In My System (feat. The Louisiana Philharmoni... I know the feeling.
	🥀 4:18pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Gin In My System (feat. The Louisiana Philharmoni... saw Big Freedia at a festival a few years ago. folks were having a great time! :)
	🥀 4:18pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Song: "Gin In My System (feat. The Louisiana Philharmoni... aw man my boss just walked out the door to deliver some infused gin! she's missing her song!!
	4:20pm N'Lo: BIG FREEEEEDIA!!! I cannot wait for Sweatin to the Spookies v3!! 💃🏻🪭
	🥀 4:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:18 I want to get to there. But if I stand up, all the animals are going to want something, and I'm clinging to a fragile peace right now.
	4:23pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:20 Doggie Downers? SNL has all the best solutions
	4:24pm Mona: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:20 clinging to a fragile peace is the title of my memoirs
	4:24pm DanFA: ↳ Mona @4:24 I can just imagine the cover.
	4:24pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:20 wherever you are now, needs a spot to stash a flask, I would think
	4:25pm ksoholm: Mona, you're killing it today. As per usual.
	4:26pm βrian: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:20 I'm pouring you a nice Nebbiolo right now. No need to get up.
	4:26pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Onde" by "Cassiano" Onda, rather than Onde?
	🥀 4:26pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ βrian @4:26 I had to look up what a Nebbiolo was, I don't know anything about wine.
	🥀 4:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:24 Wisdom
	4:28pm βrian: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:26 It followed me home, this Nebbiolo, and I couldn't resist.
	🥀 4:29pm Adi From Sheffield: Well, it would have been remiss to leave it unattended.
	🥀 4:29pm Handy Haversack: OK, I'm doing it. I'm making myself a Brooklyn. Anyone else? Orders?
	🥀 4:30pm winston legthigh: ↳ βrian @4:28 barbaresco molto bene.
	4:30pm ∫ydniuß: stout, bitte. Slàinte!
	4:30pm Bucky: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:29 Manhattan please
	4:31pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:29 Vieux Carré, if you don't mind
	4:31pm Jim in MA: Sweatin' to the Spookies v3? Sounds like a thriller!
	4:31pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:29 Upside down gin martini with a twist, please. Good for a bloke who's still working.
	🥀 4:32pm chris in the redwoods: yes, please. i’ll play with Radio.
	🥀 4:33pm winston legthigh: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:29 whip me up something with chartreuse please.
	4:33pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ βrian @4:26 Oh wait, I didn't see the Nebbiolo on the card!
	4:35pm Bucky: I told Mrs. Bucky that my main motivation to live to an old age is that so when people ask me the secret to longevity I can say it's drinking a Manhattan everyday.
	4:35pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Don't Be Cruel" by "Billy Swan" Agree with what someone else said Mona, killing it.
	4:35pm ∫ydniuß: So Zandery and mellifluous
	4:35pm βrian: Now I have to mandoline some onions and my pizza prep will be done.
	🥀 4:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Bucky @4:35 My dear granddad rode that wagon to age 95.
	🥀 4:36pm Handy Haversack: These shall be my pleasure. Cheers, m'dears! To the perfect crime!
	4:36pm freddie meduza//gothenburg/sweden: lovely music, thanks:)
	4:37pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:36 …to Radio!
	4:37pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Don't Be Cruel" by "Billy Swan" And I thought Clay Pigeon's recitation of each band member of Focus, with perfect pronunciation, was my FMU moment of Zen for today ... and now comes this.
	4:37pm Bucky: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @4:36 it's working for my Mom, she turned 90 in January
	4:37pm erinelyse: this cover is 🔥🔥🔥
	🥀 4:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bucky @4:35 I go all over the city. Yesterday a Red Hook. Tonight a Brooklyn. Was thinking it might be about time for a Bensonhurst, too.
	🥀 4:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy in New Cross" by "Carter The ... Carter the USM!
	🥀 4:38pm Jason from Houston: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
	🥀 4:38pm Adi From Sheffield: Wow, its been a minute since I heard some Carter.
	4:38pm West Trenton Vinny: friggin’ love your shows Mona!
	🥀 4:39pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy in New Cross" by "Carter The ... BAD ASSSSSSSSS
	4:39pm Bucky: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 don't know those recipes...
	4:41pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy in New Cross" by "Carter The ... Oh Mona, straight to the feels this one. My first love, a Brit it met in Russia, turned me onto Carter USM (admittedly 101 Damnations) while our teen hearts pretended our love would survive the distance.
	🥀 4:41pm Handy Haversack: Brooklyn 2 oz. rye, 1 oz. dry vermouth, .25 oz. Maraschino, 2 dash angostura (this is supposed to be Amer Picon, but good lck getting that in the States), stir, strain, cherry garnish Red Hook 2 oz. rye, .5 oz. Punt E Mes, .5 oz.

	🥀 4:41pm winston legthigh: did we ever compile the handy's elixer cookbook? i know i did not do my part.
	4:42pm Bucky: please excuse me because this has nothing to do with any of the above conversation but I have no one else to tell - I just found a box of 8x10 negatives that I have been looking for for over 7 years! I feel like I won the lottery! I had given up hope. I tore my place apart many times looking for these
	4:42pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:41 Can we get you a show called The Cocktail Hour where you play exotica music and talk about cocktails/drinks.
	🥀 4:43pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:41 [sneaks out a Luxardo from jar, pops directly into mouth]
	🥀 4:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bucky @4:42 Congrats! That calls for a drink!
	🥀 4:43pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Bucky @4:42 Where had you hidden them?
	4:43pm Bucky: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:41 Thank you! I copied this and look forward to trying them!
	🥀 4:43pm winston legthigh: ↳ Bucky @4:42 cheers bucky!
	🥀 4:43pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Bucky @4:42 I love when that happens! The universe is on your side right now!
	🥀 4:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Jason from Houston @4:43 I am worried my cherry supply won't last until June when I go to Michigan -- they are two-thirds the price there!
	🥀 4:43pm winston legthigh: ↳ Bucky @4:42 turning negatives into positives.
	4:44pm Bucky: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:43 they were in an Alford box mixed in with a box of books
	🥀 4:44pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ winston legthigh @4:43 LOL
	🥀 4:44pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ winston legthigh @4:43 very good
	4:45pm βrian: ↳ Bucky @4:42 That happened to me once with a bundle of tip money. "Finally, " I said. "There's that $1600!"
	🥀 4:45pm winston legthigh: that does it for me! thanks mona and all, have a nice weekend.
	🥀 4:45pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:41 I have absolutely no idea whether I would like that or not. I'm not a big drinker these days. I suspect it would put me on my arse. 😀
	4:46pm Bucky: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:43 I oder cherries from Traverse City Whiskey Co.
	4:47pm βrian: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:43 Go to Meijer's when you're there. Get the dried cherries and macerate them in eau de vie.
	4:47pm Bucky: with all my typos you'd think I was drinking already
	4:47pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Jason from Houston @4:43 Always.
	4:48pm Jim in MA: ↳ DanFA @4:42 Exotica tunes and cocktails, a cherry on top! Cheers!
	4:48pm Bryce: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:41 re amer picon: yet you can get calamus root on amazon. same crap legislation that lets the FDA raid restaurant kitchens over tonka beans (...also available on amazon)
	4:48pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:41 Bigallet China-China Amer is a great sub for Picon.
	🥀 4:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bucky @4:46 Yeah, those are good too. A couple more variations for you: Greenpoint 2 oz. rye 1/2 oz. yellow Chartreuse 1/2 oz. sweet vermouth 1 dash Angostura bitters 1 dash orange bitters. Garnish: lemon twist. Little Italy (Manhattan+Cynar, hence name): 2 oz rye, .75 oz sweet verm, .5 oz cynar, stir w/ ice, serve up, cherry garnish
	4:50pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @4:48 How difficult or expensive is getting Amer Picon over there? It's about twenty bucks here for me.
	🥀 4:50pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:43 So expensive here. My mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas last year and I told her 'small Luxardo jar."
	4:50pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Alarms (feat. Austra)" by "Cadence Weapon" Relatable
	4:50pm Bryce: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:49 chartreuse, sigh
	4:51pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: Here for my Friday date with Mona. As always, great set.
	4:51pm βrian: ↳ Bryce @4:50 Does it make you yellow-green with envy?
	4:51pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:49 Little Italy sounds like a Bensonhurst. What's variation between the two?
	🥀 4:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bryce @4:50 I know. It's gotten CRAZY expensive. There's a one-bottle limit locally because apparently the local Polish American ladies are crazy for green Chartreuse.
	4:52pm Edgar from Maine: We just burned through one of those big cans of Luxardos and I suppose it was worth it in the long run.
	🥀 4:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @4:51 Dry vermouth and a little Luxardo in the Bensonhurst.
	4:53pm Bucky: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:49 taking note of these too, thanks! I can share a recipe I came up with I call The Conrad: 2 oz bourbon 1 oz meade 1 oz lemon juice squirt of honey ¼ oz ginger beer concentrate ¼ oz sambuca shake well and serve on ice
	🥀 4:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Edgar from Maine @4:52 Our friends accidentally ordered one at the beginning of the pandemic when we were all new to ordering groceries, and so we ended up with like two pounds of them!
	4:53pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:50 We unfortunately can't get it over here at all.
	🥀 4:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @4:53 As Bryce pointed out, one of the ingredients is banned by the govt.
	4:55pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:54 Wait, Chartreuse is banned? I might have to go downstairs and pour me a straight green one just to wrap my head around that. Why?
	4:55pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:53 We cut back to one per drink but they still go fast for some reason.
	4:56pm Edgar from Maine: Aren't they running out of the actual herbs or something?
	🥀 4:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:55 No, no: Amer Picon is. Chartreuse is just getting prohibitively expensive as climate change kills off the herbs that go into it.
	4:59pm βrian: Didn't Chartreuse used to have wormwood in prior times?
	5:00pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:57 The monks would have had to bust their asses to work harder and make more to satisfy demand, but they were like, screw that. So now it's in short supply and allocated.
	5:00pm Bucky: ↳ Bucky @4:53 I forgot to add garnish with candied ginger
	🥀 5:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @5:00 I mean ... respect.
	5:01pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:57 Woah, had no idea (still pouring myself a green one right now). I know the monks refused to increase production a couple of years back. Much like West-Vleteren beer in Belgium, the decision was made to stick to the process and habits (pun alert) rather than sell out.
	5:01pm βrian: ↳ Bucky @5:00 What bout Mary Ann?
	5:01pm Bucky: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @5:00 oh yeah, read about that - I love it!
	5:02pm Edgar from Maine: Their will always be vodka—you can even make it from old tires.
	5:02pm Bucky: ↳ βrian @5:01 haha, yeah - choose your garnish
	5:03pm Katharsis: Yay Ulysses!
	5:03pm DanFA: Lot of talk about food and drinks on the comments of various shows lately. The people are hungry and thirsty.
	🥀 5:04pm Handy Haversack: While we're on the NYC cocktail kick, I also like a Bronx, which is a classic cocktail (and what Bill C., founder of Alcoholics Anonymous had for his first drink, apparently): 2 oz. gin, .25 oz. sweet verm, .25 oz. dry verm, 1 oz. OJ, dash orange bitters. Shake with ice, strain into chilled glass I make a variation I call a Boogie Down with grapefruit instead of orange and another dash of bitters.
	5:04pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ βrian @4:59 It did then, it does now. (Some versions like Pernod were reformulated). I believe the ban was lifted, Wormwood was the sticking point, but I think the official stance changed.
	🥀 5:05pm The Butterman: ↳ Song: "When I Dream" by "The Teardrop Explodes" So good!
	5:05pm pmcWhenever: up uP UP
	5:05pm Edgar from Maine: I've been enjoying Suze. It's grapefruity. Handy, were you the guy who recommended the yellow cocktail?
	5:06pm Spikey BXL: GMO'd food: ok Centuries old recipes still ok in the old countries: not ok you can't make that up
	🥀 5:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @5:04 I had heard that wormwood doesn't actually have any psychoactive properties and the whole thing about absinthe was just that it had A LOT OF BOOZE. Certainly our attempts ~20 years ago to make ersatz absinthe with wormwood extract, coke, and vodka did very little except lead to hangovers.
	5:06pm Mona: everyone! "i go up up up up up up up up uup upupupupup woooooah"
	🥀 5:07pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Edgar from Maine @5:05 Yeah! It's a go-to around here! I leave out the Yellow Chartreuse but sometimes put in just a smidge of Cointreau.
	5:07pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ Mona @5:06 🆙
	5:08pm Spikey BXL: Handy - you ever make Black Manhattans, with Averna?
	5:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:06 yep. although absinthe would make me more numb than just alcohol alone.
	5:08pm David L.: As a Traverse City, MI native, the TC Whiskey Co. cherries get my full endorsement! I restock every time I'm home visiting the folks.
	🥀 5:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:08 Yup! It was my buddy's dad's favorite.
	5:09pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:08 I am starting to think we could be friends..
	5:09pm βrian: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:08 Is that a reference to the blackout of 1997?
	🥀 5:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:09 Let's give it a (wait for it ...) shot!
	5:10pm βrian: 1977, I mean.
	5:10pm Bucky: I bet CHRISTEENE makes a mean cocktail, I bet that even will be fun
	5:11pm Bucky: ↳ Bucky @5:10 * event
	5:12pm βrian: ↳ David L. @5:08 My spouse grew up there. Seems like things have gone south, though, over the last 20 years.
	5:12pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:06 Oh my gosh, absinthe hooch! Haha. Yeah, probably correct about Wormwood. It was an assassination by the wine industry, they were worried about competition so they made ups a bunch of stuff, paid for biased research papers, etc.
	🥀 5:13pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Sidewalk Talk (feat. Madonna)" by "Jellybean" Kind of Tom Tom Club this innit?
	5:13pm robin: never apologize for playing teardrop explodes! it's a rule : )
	5:14pm Bucky: A woman near our place in upstate NY was making absinthe: www.delawarephoenixdistillery.com
	5:15pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:10 Here it is! imgur.com...
	5:15pm βrian: I was told absinthe makes the heart grow dearer, officer.
	🥀 5:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:15 Nice! Proof of life! K8's fave cocktail is a Last Word (or a Palabra Final), so Chartreuse and Luxardo stay stocked.
	5:19pm Bucky: I made a drink I call Norðurljós (northern lights) 2 oz Brenevin 1 oz Islay scotch (anything peaty) ½ oz absinthe ½ oz sweet vermouth
	🥀 5:20pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Song: "Get Real - Sounds Right Mix (feat NATURE)" by "Da... BOWIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:20pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Bucky @5:19 Must try that, big Islay fan.
	🥀 5:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:20 When's your Scotland trip?
	5:21pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:20 end of May
	5:21pm Bucky: it's amazing to me every week how many songs Mona plays that I never heard by artists I know - one of the reasons I'm here
	🥀 5:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:21 Fantastic. Wish we were going this year too. Hopefully next.
	5:22pm rf: ↳ Song: "Get Real - Sounds Right Mix (feat NATURE)" by "Da... When did this happen? Lovely
	5:22pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:21 If, no when, our paths cross, we might have a few drams
	5:23pm Bucky: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:21 have a great trip! We were going in May 2020, the whole trip was planned and paid for but that didn't work out...
	🥀 5:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:22 I'm going to allow it! And for real, go to the Bow Bar!
	5:24pm rf: ↳ rf @5:22 1995 and 3 days ago I guess! Wow triffic
	5:24pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:23 Bow Bar has been put on the group's list. I took your advice to heart already. Oh Bucky, sorry to hear. Must try and plan it soon then.
	🥀 5:25pm Handy Haversack: OK, I am going into the lions' (and puppy's) den. Hopefully I make it back -- and with a fresh drink!
	5:26pm Derbs: Nicey nicey
	5:27pm Bucky: ↳ Song: "Wasted Time" by "Jennifer Touch" this reminds me of xmal deutschland
	5:29pm Bucky: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:24 thank you - someday we will go
	5:31pm Derbs: Request? Michaela Melian- Brautlied :)
	🥀 5:33pm Adi From Sheffield: Great seque
	5:33pm Picante Mint: I love your song transitions Mona!
	5:33pm Bucky: OMG, I got so engrossed in the music and chatting and thinking about cocktails that I completely forgot about the laundry. I'm going to be in trouble.
	🥀 5:33pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "I Want Candy" by "Strangeloves" SUGAR! CANDY! SUGAR! CANDY!
	🥀 5:34pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Bucky @5:33 Throw it all out. Best solution for you. Straight into the trash.
	5:36pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "Lust For Life" by "Girls" !!
	5:37pm Destroit: ↳ listener 126464 @5:36 Absolutely love this song. And the band.
	5:37pm Bucky: ↳ Sean T-Rex @5:34 Ha, good idea unfortunately I married the eye of sauron, she sees all
	5:38pm listener 126464: ↳ Destroit @5:37 Quite a moment for them.
	🥀 5:38pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Bucky @5:37 Yea....that might be a problem
	5:39pm goes211: A blast from the past!! Thank you, Mona!
	5:39pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "The Caterpillar" by "The Cure" Wouldn't be a Mona show without The Cure.
	5:41pm Derbs: Love love love this
	5:41pm RomanDogBird: "his lipstick's on crooked" - butt-head
	5:42pm Will: Such a great show as always, like college radio for the 2020s (oops), freeform at its finest.
	5:43pm zenjen: this has been such a fun set mona <3 ready to dance
	5:44pm Bucky: Mona, great show, thank you! Always look forward to Fridays because of you!
	🥀 5:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Caterpillar" by "The Cure" Anyone else get the RSD picture disc?
	5:48pm chinn: ↳ Song: "Angel" by "Gavin Friday" Hearing this song was a heavy sense memory, man. I used to have that R+J CD rattling around in my barely functioning Mitsubishi Eclipse 25 years ago, wow.
	🥀 5:50pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mona! Nothing but bangers!
	5:51pm zenjen: ↳ Song: "San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native)" by "F... <333

	🥀 3:36pm Threemoons: ↳ Sean T-Rex @3:32 Yup, taco night later. Part of box was some fresh chorizo sausage blend and fresh lean ground beef. I have a Turkish-style veggie blisterer so want to do tomatillo salsa if I can

	🥀 3:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:48 K8's been in Seattle since Wednesday, and she gets back Sun. On Mon. I am leaving the pup with her for a few hours so I can fold some t-shirts and relieve some stress!

	4:01pm David L.: Pretty sure "Hunter Gets Captured..." was Marvelettes. Definitely Motown.
	🥀 4:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @3:58 I'll be volunteering at it. Should be there the whole time.
	4:02pm Wendi: Drum circle vibes for prospect park thanks
	4:03pm Mona: ↳ David L. @4:01 as I said Grace Jones my mind went to a girl group as the cover and i panicked and went blank lol
	4:04pm jms in upstate manhattan: Hunter written by Smokey Robinson and recorded by the Marvelettes (and I thought it was Martha and the Vandellas)
	4:05pm jms in upstate manhattan: But both Hunter and Dancing in the Streets (Martha et al.) were covered by J. Garcia, hence my confusion
	4:06pm jms in upstate manhattan: But the Massive cover is... well, massive!

	4:08pm ∫ydniuß: yeah that’s MIDI, so 🤷‍♂️
	🥀 4:08pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:07 Is it a MIDI port?
	4:08pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:08 coke!
	4:10pm David L.: ↳ Mona @4:03 Ha! Know the feeling all too well. Another 10 seconds, you woulda had it 💪
	4:11pm ∫ydniuß: and if you’re buying MIDI gear, avoid MOTU, they need kernel drivers and the support is nichtsogut
	🥀 4:11pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:08 Now pointless searching for the Classic's MIDI compatibility. Not that I have a classic nor any interest in MIDI'ing one up 😂
	4:12pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:11 there were serial port solutions of the time. All USB these days of course
	🥀 4:12pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:11 our studio was just getting rid of some MOTU soundcards/bits. Never used them personally.
	🥀 4:13pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:12 I always remember if you wanted to buy a serial MIDI adaptor in the UK they were back in the day hideously expensive.
	4:13pm sphere: Sad to hear about MOTU, they were among the first to get PCs to do MIDI.
	4:14pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ sphere @4:13 replaced a usb midi box with M-Audio, their driver was the crash vector and they just started ignoring me when I got more specific
	4:15pm ∫ydniuß: the M-audio one doesn’t need drivers and works a treat

	4:42pm Bucky: please excuse me because this has nothing to do with any of the above conversation but I have no one else to tell - I just found a box of 8x10 negatives that I have been looking for for over 7 years! I feel like I won the lottery! I had given up hope. I tore my place apart many times looking for these

	🥀 4:44pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ winston legthigh @4:43 LOL
	🥀 4:44pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ winston legthigh @4:43 very good
	4:45pm βrian: ↳ Bucky @4:42 That happened to me once with a bundle of tip money. "Finally, " I said. "There's that $1600!"

	🥀 4:45pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:41 I have absolutely no idea whether I would like that or not. I'm not a big drinker these days. I suspect it would put me on my arse. 😀
	4:46pm Bucky: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:43 I oder cherries from Traverse City Whiskey Co.
	4:47pm βrian: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:43 Go to Meijer's when you're there. Get the dried cherries and macerate them in eau de vie.
	4:47pm Bucky: with all my typos you'd think I was drinking already
	4:47pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Jason from Houston @4:43 Always.
	4:48pm Jim in MA: ↳ DanFA @4:42 Exotica tunes and cocktails, a cherry on top! Cheers!
	4:48pm Bryce: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:41 re amer picon: yet you can get calamus root on amazon. same crap legislation that lets the FDA raid restaurant kitchens over tonka beans (...also available on amazon)
	4:48pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:41 Bigallet China-China Amer is a great sub for Picon.
	🥀 4:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bucky @4:46 Yeah, those are good too. A couple more variations for you: Greenpoint 2 oz. rye 1/2 oz. yellow Chartreuse 1/2 oz. sweet vermouth 1 dash Angostura bitters 1 dash orange bitters. Garnish: lemon twist. Little Italy (Manhattan+Cynar, hence name): 2 oz rye, .75 oz sweet verm, .5 oz cynar, stir w/ ice, serve up, cherry garnish
	4:50pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @4:48 How difficult or expensive is getting Amer Picon over there? It's about twenty bucks here for me.
	🥀 4:50pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:43 So expensive here. My mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas last year and I told her 'small Luxardo jar."

	4:50pm Bryce: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:49 chartreuse, sigh
	4:51pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: Here for my Friday date with Mona. As always, great set.
	4:51pm βrian: ↳ Bryce @4:50 Does it make you yellow-green with envy?
	4:51pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:49 Little Italy sounds like a Bensonhurst. What's variation between the two?
	🥀 4:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bryce @4:50 I know. It's gotten CRAZY expensive. There's a one-bottle limit locally because apparently the local Polish American ladies are crazy for green Chartreuse.
	4:52pm Edgar from Maine: We just burned through one of those big cans of Luxardos and I suppose it was worth it in the long run.
	🥀 4:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @4:51 Dry vermouth and a little Luxardo in the Bensonhurst.
	4:53pm Bucky: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:49 taking note of these too, thanks! I can share a recipe I came up with I call The Conrad: 2 oz bourbon 1 oz meade 1 oz lemon juice squirt of honey ¼ oz ginger beer concentrate ¼ oz sambuca shake well and serve on ice
	🥀 4:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Edgar from Maine @4:52 Our friends accidentally ordered one at the beginning of the pandemic when we were all new to ordering groceries, and so we ended up with like two pounds of them!
	4:53pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:50 We unfortunately can't get it over here at all.
	🥀 4:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @4:53 As Bryce pointed out, one of the ingredients is banned by the govt.
	4:55pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:54 Wait, Chartreuse is banned? I might have to go downstairs and pour me a straight green one just to wrap my head around that. Why?
	4:55pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:53 We cut back to one per drink but they still go fast for some reason.
	4:56pm Edgar from Maine: Aren't they running out of the actual herbs or something?
	🥀 4:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:55 No, no: Amer Picon is. Chartreuse is just getting prohibitively expensive as climate change kills off the herbs that go into it.
	4:59pm βrian: Didn't Chartreuse used to have wormwood in prior times?
	5:00pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:57 The monks would have had to bust their asses to work harder and make more to satisfy demand, but they were like, screw that. So now it's in short supply and allocated.
	5:00pm Bucky: ↳ Bucky @4:53 I forgot to add garnish with candied ginger
	🥀 5:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @5:00 I mean ... respect.
	5:01pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:57 Woah, had no idea (still pouring myself a green one right now). I know the monks refused to increase production a couple of years back. Much like West-Vleteren beer in Belgium, the decision was made to stick to the process and habits (pun alert) rather than sell out.
	5:01pm βrian: ↳ Bucky @5:00 What bout Mary Ann?
	5:01pm Bucky: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @5:00 oh yeah, read about that - I love it!
	5:02pm Edgar from Maine: Their will always be vodka—you can even make it from old tires.
	5:02pm Bucky: ↳ βrian @5:01 haha, yeah - choose your garnish
	5:03pm Katharsis: Yay Ulysses!
	5:03pm DanFA: Lot of talk about food and drinks on the comments of various shows lately. The people are hungry and thirsty.
	🥀 5:04pm Handy Haversack: While we're on the NYC cocktail kick, I also like a Bronx, which is a classic cocktail (and what Bill C., founder of Alcoholics Anonymous had for his first drink, apparently): 2 oz. gin, .25 oz. sweet verm, .25 oz. dry verm, 1 oz. OJ, dash orange bitters. Shake with ice, strain into chilled glass I make a variation I call a Boogie Down with grapefruit instead of orange and another dash of bitters.
	5:04pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ βrian @4:59 It did then, it does now. (Some versions like Pernod were reformulated). I believe the ban was lifted, Wormwood was the sticking point, but I think the official stance changed.
	🥀 5:05pm The Butterman: ↳ Song: "When I Dream" by "The Teardrop Explodes" So good!
	5:05pm pmcWhenever: up uP UP
	5:05pm Edgar from Maine: I've been enjoying Suze. It's grapefruity. Handy, were you the guy who recommended the yellow cocktail?
	5:06pm Spikey BXL: GMO'd food: ok Centuries old recipes still ok in the old countries: not ok you can't make that up
	🥀 5:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @5:04 I had heard that wormwood doesn't actually have any psychoactive properties and the whole thing about absinthe was just that it had A LOT OF BOOZE. Certainly our attempts ~20 years ago to make ersatz absinthe with wormwood extract, coke, and vodka did very little except lead to hangovers.
	5:06pm Mona: everyone! "i go up up up up up up up up uup upupupupup woooooah"
	🥀 5:07pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Edgar from Maine @5:05 Yeah! It's a go-to around here! I leave out the Yellow Chartreuse but sometimes put in just a smidge of Cointreau.
	5:07pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ Mona @5:06 🆙
	5:08pm Spikey BXL: Handy - you ever make Black Manhattans, with Averna?
	5:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:06 yep. although absinthe would make me more numb than just alcohol alone.
	5:08pm David L.: As a Traverse City, MI native, the TC Whiskey Co. cherries get my full endorsement! I restock every time I'm home visiting the folks.
	🥀 5:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:08 Yup! It was my buddy's dad's favorite.
	5:09pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:08 I am starting to think we could be friends..
	5:09pm βrian: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:08 Is that a reference to the blackout of 1997?
	🥀 5:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:09 Let's give it a (wait for it ...) shot!
	5:10pm βrian: 1977, I mean.
	5:10pm Bucky: I bet CHRISTEENE makes a mean cocktail, I bet that even will be fun
	5:11pm Bucky: ↳ Bucky @5:10 * event
	5:12pm βrian: ↳ David L. @5:08 My spouse grew up there. Seems like things have gone south, though, over the last 20 years.
	5:12pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:06 Oh my gosh, absinthe hooch! Haha. Yeah, probably correct about Wormwood. It was an assassination by the wine industry, they were worried about competition so they made ups a bunch of stuff, paid for biased research papers, etc.
	🥀 5:13pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Sidewalk Talk (feat. Madonna)" by "Jellybean" Kind of Tom Tom Club this innit?
	5:13pm robin: never apologize for playing teardrop explodes! it's a rule : )
	5:14pm Bucky: A woman near our place in upstate NY was making absinthe: www.delawarephoenixdistillery.com
	5:15pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:10 Here it is! imgur.com...
	5:15pm βrian: I was told absinthe makes the heart grow dearer, officer.
	🥀 5:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:15 Nice! Proof of life! K8's fave cocktail is a Last Word (or a Palabra Final), so Chartreuse and Luxardo stay stocked.
	5:19pm Bucky: I made a drink I call Norðurljós (northern lights) 2 oz Brenevin 1 oz Islay scotch (anything peaty) ½ oz absinthe ½ oz sweet vermouth
