	6:19pm wenzo: One of my all time favorite songs
	6:20pm Charlie: glad to hear it, wenzo
	6:20pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:16 I think Sophie broke up with Courtney
	6:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @6:20 Oh, I think you're right. Maybe we shouldn't call him and tell him she was on the radio. I'm not sure the poutin' shanty is heated, and it's winter in Hoboken.

	6:34pm spodiodi: greetings, Charlie and all!
	6:38pm MarciB: This show-and this song by The Websites-is genius!
	6:39pm Charlie: heya spodiodi! and MarciB - howdy! Gladja liked the Websites:)
	6:40pm MarciB: ↳ Charlie @6:39 Bet Mark Hurst would dig it too (if he hasn't played it on Tectonic already!)
	6:42pm Charlie: ↳ MarciB @6:40 A lot of their songs are about the internet and technology actually - I should probably tell Mark about them!
	7:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Too Many Creeps" by "Bush Tetras" This is one of the best songs ever.
	7:03pm Jen: Love the clarity set!!!! 🙌🏼 I’m not here by Billygoat!!!!💖
	7:03pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:02 Agreed Wendy!
	7:03pm Charlie: ↳ Jen @7:03 Hi Jen! Glad you're enjoying:)
	7:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Cissy Strut" by "The Meters" Another entry in the "best songs ever" spreadsheet.
	7:22pm wimpy: i wish i had more funk records in my collection. you can't find any james brown out here in the midwest and when you do they look like theyve been hanging out in a sandpaper sleeve
	7:22pm Mike Lupica: Charlie! How wonderful to hear your show booming through the speakers of the Starlite Lounge tonight!
	👻 7:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cissy Strut" by "The Meters" A fave!
	👻 7:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Jubilee Stomp" by "Duke Ellington and His Orchestra" Another great track, love it! (DJ Peter would approve)
	👻 7:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Arizona Yodeler" by "Dezurik Sisters" Not enough yodeling any more... very sad.
	7:28pm Jen: Love the cackle sisters!
	7:29pm Charlie: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:22 Mike! What an honor to be airing in the Starlite Lounge!
	7:29pm Charlie: ↳ Jen @7:28 They sure can cackle. And yodel.
	7:30pm Charlie: Mike Lupica will be up at 9:00. Playlist here: wfmu.org...
	7:32pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @7:27 Here's a little more yodeling (just a little)
	7:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Intro; Don't Get Killed" by "Andy Breckman" Andy Breckman Man!
	7:36pm Yvang: I am wearing the same tee shirt as Andy Breckman!
	7:37pm Charlie: ↳ Yvang @7:36 That's a good one!
	7:38pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Intro; Don't Get Killed" by "Andy Breckman" A classic! I have this on the CD from decades ago.
	7:38pm Dan S: ↳ Dan S @7:38 A 1990 CD from Gadfly Records.
	7:43pm βrian: What, they have tacos in Tucson?
	7:45pm Mike Lupica: I believe all meals should be made available in taco form.
	7:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:45 And yes, I recognize the challenge that "soup" introduces into this desire.
	👻 7:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mannix" by "Lalo Schifrin" Been a while since I heard this (was a regularly watched show back when it was on).
	7:48pm Charlie: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:45 Well, you can scoop up some soup with the taco. And even soupy dishes like posole are served with warm tortillas.
	7:49pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Mannix" by "Lalo Schifrin" I tried to remember which show this was for, and only got as far as "Whatever it was, I definitely watched it back in the day" ...then I guessed a few in my head, including Mannix and the NBC Mystery Movie, but never had the confidence to pick something definitively.
	7:50pm Charlie: (belated hi to Dan S!)
	7:51pm Jeff Moore: Charlie, what's the Mexican food in your area called? AzMex?
	7:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park (edit!)" by "Richard Harris" \m/
	7:51pm Charlie: ↳ Jeff Moore @7:49 I recently watched a couple episodes of Mannix - found it kinda dull. And very dated (duh).
	7:52pm Charlie: FYI: I edited out the schmaltzy middle section of this song! Always wanted to hear what it's like without it:)
	7:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @7:36 I made a new friend at a fire department fundraiser because we were both wearing that shirt. Pancakes were also involved.
	👻 7:52pm doctorjazz: Gotta go, hust realized I left my cake out in the rain (thanks Charlie)
	7:52pm Charlie: ↳ Jeff Moore @7:51 It's called: Awesome! and Bountiful:)
	7:53pm Charlie: seeya docj
	7:53pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Charlie @7:52 😮
	7:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @7:52 I'm glad you didn't edit out this "Solid Gold Dancers" part of the song.
	7:53pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Charlie @7:52 Nice.
	7:54pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park (edit!)" by "Richard Harris" Coincidentally enough, just last Friday Bronwyn B. did her show on the theme "When Actors Sing." She didn't play this song, but I think it would have fit. I almost requested it on the comments board, but I restrained myself.
	7:54pm βrian: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park (edit!)" by "Richard Harris" This song always makes me queasy, though I'm not exactly sure why.
	7:54pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:52 Seems like this shirt has some magic powers.
	7:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @7:54 It does!
	7:54pm Dan S: ↳ Charlie @7:50 Hi, Charlie!
	7:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ βrian @7:54 Possibly because it's horrible, but that's just a guess.
	7:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Move Closer to Your World" by "Al Ham" Everyone who grew up in NYC just got Channel 11 Action News vibes.
	7:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:56 THAT'S what that was! My brain recognized it and I could not place it. Thank you, Mike.
	7:57pm βrian: ↳ βrian @7:54 Now that I think of it, we were compelled to sing it in my high school chorale (which generally sang sacred choral music. ) That could've been it.
	7:58pm βrian: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:54 Amen.
	7:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" by "Cha... OMG!!! My heart is so happy right now.
	7:59pm Mike Lupica: Serious NYC TV news muscle memory triggered by that song. "Pat Harper and Steve Bosch with tonight's breaking news, Roberto Turado with the weather, and all the latest sports updates with Jerry Girard. This is Channel 11 ACTION NEWS"
	7:59pm schmutz: yayyy
	7:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" by "Cha... YAY SINGING DJS!!!
	8:00pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" by "Cha... OK, so what does "semi-live" mean? :-)
	8:00pm Roberto: Derp I forgot about this fill-in.
	8:00pm βrian: ↳ Song: "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" by "Cha... Dancing bare is really the only proper way to dance.
	8:01pm Charlie: ↳ Dan S @8:00 haha! I pre-recorded the ukulele, but sang live:)
	8:01pm Charlie: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:59 Gotta sing!
	8:01pm coelacanth∅: greetings Charlie and busybodies
	8:01pm Charlie: Oh, hey Roberto and coela!
	8:02pm Roberto: Charlie and Mike Lupica on WFMU -- what is this, 2003?
	8:02pm Yvang: ↳ Charlie @8:01 Semi-live or Auto-karaoke.
	8:02pm tom tom the pipers son: hello charlie and all...
	8:03pm Webhamster Henry: I forgot too but will catch the last hour live
	8:04pm Dan S: I'm so busy going nowhere that I have no time for myself.
	8:04pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Dan S @8:04 I feel that.
	8:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:59 fond memories of jerry girard
	8:04pm Dan S: I'm busy doing nothing, too.
	8:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:04 He was the king. Total hall-of-famer.
	8:05pm Charlie: howdy tomtom & Henry
	8:05pm βrian: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:01 Coel, how goes life in the bathypelagic zone?
	8:05pm wimpy: I didn't know gershwin had any actual recordings. granted, i don't very much about the man
	8:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Prelude No. 2 for Piano" by "George Gershwin" interesting... so many echoes of the past and future
	8:06pm wimpy: between this and that ellington comp you played from earlier though, I think I have some homework!
	8:06pm Webhamster Henry: I had some Gershwin player piano rolls, but not cut by him
	8:08pm coelacanth∅: ↳ βrian @8:05 whoaa, that's deep... - it's cold; but then it's cold up there too.
	8:09pm βrian: "Davy the Fat Boy" needs a comma to feel better.
	8:10pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Davy the Fat Boy" by "Randy Newman" Short people got no reason to live, but what about Davy the Fat Boy?
	8:12pm Dan S: Even at a place like WFMU, your sets stand out as musically eclectic! Congrats, Charlie!
	8:13pm Dan S: ↳ βrian @8:09 And perhaps a prescription for Ozempic.
	8:13pm Roberto: ↳ βrian @8:09 Dav, Y the Fat Boy?
	8:14pm Charlie: ↳ Dan S @8:12 Thanks Dan!
	8:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dan S @8:13 That's really mean.
	8:14pm Jeff Moore: ↳ βrian @8:09 Davy the Fat, Boy?
	8:16pm Dan S: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:14 More or less so than the song itself?
	8:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dan S @8:16 I'm talking to you, not to Randy Newman.
	8:17pm chresti: Hiiieeee!
	8:17pm Charlie: I actually don't think the song is mean. Mebbe I'll say sumpin about that.
	8:18pm Charlie: Well hi chresti!
	8:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:58 This set has been amazing. Driving around Seattle, Mrs DJP was amazed that I sang along to MacArthur Park and then alarmed that I knew the words to Simon Smith! Outrageous! Charming!
	8:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @8:17 I agree. I think the songwriting shows empathy.
	8:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Peter @8:18 Yay! I also sang along to both songs. Hope you're having a fab time in Seattle, DJP!
	8:20pm Dan S: ↳ Charlie @8:17 I remember the big controversy over his "Short People" back in the 1970s.
	8:22pm tom tom the pipers son: mannix does sound gay porn....imho
	8:22pm Roberto: ↳ Dan S @8:20 I read that Randy thought the lyrics were so over the top that there was no way anyone could take them seriously. A sense of irony is not innate to many people.
	8:24pm JimmyTallow: Damn that was you doing Simon and the Dancing Bear?? That was great man
	8:24pm spodiodi: ↳ chresti @8:17 hi chresti!\\//
	8:24pm chresti: Saw the Persuasions in Mac Arthur park
	8:25pm Dan S: ↳ Roberto @8:22 Truth. Even some folks on the comments board here.
	8:25pm tom tom the pipers son: can a person who wrote this couplet have a mean bone in their body? Beat-up little seagull On a marble stair Tryna find the ocean Lookin' everywhere
	8:26pm Franco Twinkie: I saw Jimmy Webb at MacArthur Park. When he played the eponymous song, an LAPD helicopter was shining it's spotlight on the bushes behind the band shell, looking for dead bodies no doubt.
	8:26pm chresti: ↳ spodiodi @8:24 hi spodi!\\//
	8:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:26 someone left a corpse out in the rain
	8:27pm Franco Twinkie: Badda bing!
	8:28pm Charlie: Hi JimmyTallow (and thanks!) and hi Franco!
	8:29pm Franco Twinkie: H Charlie!
	8:30pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:27 Ha!
	8:33pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Lavender Blues" by "Surely Shirley" "Surely you jest." "I do not jest, and don't call me Shirley."
	8:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Roberto @8:22 or to put it in another way, people are dumbasses. hypocritical pretend liberals looking for a new confrontation.
	8:33pm ?: I mean, do they really have parks in LA? Apart from car parks, I mean.
	8:34pm Charlie: ↳ @8:33 Yes, lots of beautiful parks actually!
	8:35pm Roberto: ↳ Charlie @8:34 Si, hay muchos parques.
	8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ @8:33 walking down a street in west hollywood, my friend pointed to a flower in full bloom, she said, "it's been like that for a couple of months..."
	8:37pm Jen: I love this Paul Simon song!
	8:37pm Charlie: ↳ Jen @8:37 Me too!
	8:37pm wimpy: I've only visited LA once and didn't see any parks, but did see a lot of oil refineries where it looked like a park should've gone
	8:38pm βrian: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:36 Has that park yet been officially named?
	8:39pm Charlie: ↳ wimpy @8:37 It's a huge city. There are parks so vast that as you hike around you forget you're in a city
	8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ βrian @8:38 wasn't a park...just someone;'s front yard
	8:40pm Dan S: ↳ Jen @8:37 Yes, and it's from a truly great album.
	8:41pm Chris S.: Hola Charlie!
	8:42pm Charlie: Hi Chris! Happy Sunday:)
	8:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ @8:33 I can see there's a lot of parochial nitwits in the audience tonight. Stay out of L.A. if you know what's good for you.
	8:42pm Chris S.: 🙂
	8:43pm wimpy: ↳ Charlie @8:39 That sounds sick! i was only there for disney (lame, I know) so I doubt I saw even a fraction of what the city had to offer.
	8:43pm βrian: ↳ Charlie @8:39 Yep, but "walking distance" is what makes parks meaningful.
	8:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Aviatrix" by "The 3 Clubmen" I love this album.
	8:45pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:44 This is one of the best songs of recent years! The video is amazing:) (linked on the playlist)
	8:46pm Chris S.: ❤️
	8:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ βrian @8:43 L.A. is full of short people who have no reason to live
	8:46pm Chris S.: Love this song!
	8:46pm βrian: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:42 Do elaborate!
	8:46pm Roberto: ↳ Charlie @8:39 Griffith Echo Rancho Etc
	8:47pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:46 That's why I Love L.A.
	8:47pm Dan S: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:46 But They Love L.A., anyway.
	8:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @8:47 you got it....
	8:48pm Roberto: ↳ βrian @8:43 Nah, just drive yer ass there then walk all you like.
	8:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan S @8:47 i hope i don't suffer the same fate as randy newman
	8:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @8:48 but that has no meaning.....!
	8:50pm Webhamster Henry: I was listening to 70s Laurie A just this morning on Ubu.com
	8:50pm βrian: I've heard more than a few encomiums about the amazing food scene in LA. I'd arrange a guided visit for that, if nothing else.
	8:50pm Charlie: ↳ Roberto @8:47 That's why I love mankind
	8:51pm Dan S: A few years ago there was a TV sitcom starring Ted Danson as the Mayor of L.A. It wasn't a commercial success, but I thought it was pretty funny at times.
	8:51pm Chris S.: ↳ Charlie @8:50 EVERYONE??
	8:51pm Charlie: ↳ βrian @8:50 The food scene in Tucson is legendary
	8:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @8:45 I just watched it with the sound muted. Yes, it was lovely!
	8:51pm Roberto: ↳ Dan S @8:51 Ted Danson has starred in a lot of series.
	8:52pm Charlie: ↳ Chris S. @8:51 It's the title of a Randy Newman song
	8:52pm Chris S.: ↳ Charlie @8:52 And that is what I've learned for today.
	8:54pm tom tom the pipers son: george gershwin and laurie anderson just collided in my head....laurie anderson adapting porgy and bess?
	8:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @8:39 i don't know if this counts but i was "lost" for over an hour, driving in angeles state park. -probably a breath away from mortal disaster but very exhilarating!
	8:55pm Mike Lupica: Thanks for an awesome show, Charlie!
	8:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Charlie!
	8:56pm Dan S: ↳ Charlie @8:52 A brilliantly dark Randy Newman song, as I recall.
	8:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thank you. Charlie! xo
	8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks charlie....
	8:56pm Roberto: Gotta get ready to be late for Mike L's show. Seeyuh!
	8:57pm Charlie: Thanks everyone! Stay tuned for Mike L and the Tardigrades! Playlist: wfmu.org...
	8:58pm Dan S: Anyway, thanks for the show, Charlie! I thoroughly enjoyed the part of it I heard. Now it's time for me to go back to doing nothing.
	8:58pm βrian: In my world, Gillian is an adjective that sets my heart to fluttering.
	8:58pm Charlie: (sorry might run over a minute - how rude)
	8:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @8:56 Back when Charlie was a 9 AM DJ on the WFMU Mothership, I always used to say that he got America to work on time. I don't get anyone anyplace on time. Apart from the couch, and even that's probably a stretch.
	8:59pm Yvang: Thanks Charlie for the ukulele and everything!
	8:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Charlie @8:58 I will somehow find it in my heart to forgive you.
	8:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ βrian @8:58 i was lost in Gillianland for a few years when i first discovered her
	9:00pm chresti: Thanks Charlie!
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Charlie!
	👻 12:02pm doctorjazz: Finished the show this morning, thanks Charlie!

	5:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm early!
	5:58pm Charlie: Hello early-bird nothing-doers Peter and Sarah and Wendy! I'm here too, waiting to pop out of my box:)
	5:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @5:58 Charlie-in-the-Box. Is that from Rankin-Bass?
	6:00pm βrian: Doing nothing on the isthmus.
	👻 6:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Moanin'" by "Ray Charles" Ray Charles (shouted in my shriekiest voice)! Hey Charlie, nothing-doers!

	6:02pm Charlie: Hey βrian, doctorjazz!
	6:02pm βrian: Apropos the photo, I recall I once owned a rock tumbler. I waited with bated breath … for days on end.
	6:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Moanin'" by "Davy Graham" Nice!
	👻 6:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Moanin'" by "Ray Charles" Charles on organ, very nice (perfect cover for Impulse Records)!

	6:06pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:05 Hi Wendy!

	6:12pm duke: Hi Charlie. Nice to hear you on a Sunday night

	6:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Moanin' Low" by "Sophie Tucker with Ted Shapiro's... Sophie Tucker! I hope the Ol' Codger is listening.

	6:20pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:16 I think Sophie broke up with Courtney
	6:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @6:20 Oh, I think you're right. Maybe we shouldn't call him and tell him she was on the radio. I'm not sure the poutin' shanty is heated, and it's winter in Hoboken.

	6:38pm MarciB: This show-and this song by The Websites-is genius!
	6:39pm Charlie: heya spodiodi! and MarciB - howdy! Gladja liked the Websites:)
	6:40pm MarciB: ↳ Charlie @6:39 Bet Mark Hurst would dig it too (if he hasn't played it on Tectonic already!)
	6:42pm Charlie: ↳ MarciB @6:40 A lot of their songs are about the internet and technology actually - I should probably tell Mark about them!
	7:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Too Many Creeps" by "Bush Tetras" This is one of the best songs ever.
	7:03pm Jen: Love the clarity set!!!! 🙌🏼 I’m not here by Billygoat!!!!💖
	7:03pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:02 Agreed Wendy!
	7:03pm Charlie: ↳ Jen @7:03 Hi Jen! Glad you're enjoying:)
	7:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Cissy Strut" by "The Meters" Another entry in the "best songs ever" spreadsheet.
	7:22pm wimpy: i wish i had more funk records in my collection. you can't find any james brown out here in the midwest and when you do they look like theyve been hanging out in a sandpaper sleeve
	7:22pm Mike Lupica: Charlie! How wonderful to hear your show booming through the speakers of the Starlite Lounge tonight!
	👻 7:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cissy Strut" by "The Meters" A fave!
	👻 7:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Jubilee Stomp" by "Duke Ellington and His Orchestra" Another great track, love it! (DJ Peter would approve)
	👻 7:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Arizona Yodeler" by "Dezurik Sisters" Not enough yodeling any more... very sad.
	7:28pm Jen: Love the cackle sisters!
	7:29pm Charlie: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:22 Mike! What an honor to be airing in the Starlite Lounge!
	7:29pm Charlie: ↳ Jen @7:28 They sure can cackle. And yodel.
	7:30pm Charlie: Mike Lupica will be up at 9:00. Playlist here: wfmu.org...
	7:32pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @7:27 Here's a little more yodeling (just a little)
	7:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Intro; Don't Get Killed" by "Andy Breckman" Andy Breckman Man!
	7:36pm Yvang: I am wearing the same tee shirt as Andy Breckman!
	7:37pm Charlie: ↳ Yvang @7:36 That's a good one!
	7:38pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Intro; Don't Get Killed" by "Andy Breckman" A classic! I have this on the CD from decades ago.
	7:38pm Dan S: ↳ Dan S @7:38 A 1990 CD from Gadfly Records.
	7:43pm βrian: What, they have tacos in Tucson?
	7:45pm Mike Lupica: I believe all meals should be made available in taco form.
	7:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:45 And yes, I recognize the challenge that "soup" introduces into this desire.
	👻 7:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mannix" by "Lalo Schifrin" Been a while since I heard this (was a regularly watched show back when it was on).
	7:48pm Charlie: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:45 Well, you can scoop up some soup with the taco. And even soupy dishes like posole are served with warm tortillas.
	7:49pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Mannix" by "Lalo Schifrin" I tried to remember which show this was for, and only got as far as "Whatever it was, I definitely watched it back in the day" ...then I guessed a few in my head, including Mannix and the NBC Mystery Movie, but never had the confidence to pick something definitively.
	7:50pm Charlie: (belated hi to Dan S!)
	7:51pm Jeff Moore: Charlie, what's the Mexican food in your area called? AzMex?
	7:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park (edit!)" by "Richard Harris" \m/
	7:51pm Charlie: ↳ Jeff Moore @7:49 I recently watched a couple episodes of Mannix - found it kinda dull. And very dated (duh).
	7:52pm Charlie: FYI: I edited out the schmaltzy middle section of this song! Always wanted to hear what it's like without it:)
	7:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @7:36 I made a new friend at a fire department fundraiser because we were both wearing that shirt. Pancakes were also involved.
	👻 7:52pm doctorjazz: Gotta go, hust realized I left my cake out in the rain (thanks Charlie)
	7:52pm Charlie: ↳ Jeff Moore @7:51 It's called: Awesome! and Bountiful:)
	7:53pm Charlie: seeya docj
	7:53pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Charlie @7:52 😮
	7:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @7:52 I'm glad you didn't edit out this "Solid Gold Dancers" part of the song.
	7:53pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Charlie @7:52 Nice.
	7:54pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park (edit!)" by "Richard Harris" Coincidentally enough, just last Friday Bronwyn B. did her show on the theme "When Actors Sing." She didn't play this song, but I think it would have fit. I almost requested it on the comments board, but I restrained myself.
	7:54pm βrian: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park (edit!)" by "Richard Harris" This song always makes me queasy, though I'm not exactly sure why.
	7:54pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:52 Seems like this shirt has some magic powers.
	7:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @7:54 It does!
	7:54pm Dan S: ↳ Charlie @7:50 Hi, Charlie!
	7:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ βrian @7:54 Possibly because it's horrible, but that's just a guess.
	7:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Move Closer to Your World" by "Al Ham" Everyone who grew up in NYC just got Channel 11 Action News vibes.
	7:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:56 THAT'S what that was! My brain recognized it and I could not place it. Thank you, Mike.
	7:57pm βrian: ↳ βrian @7:54 Now that I think of it, we were compelled to sing it in my high school chorale (which generally sang sacred choral music. ) That could've been it.
	7:58pm βrian: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:54 Amen.
	7:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" by "Cha... OMG!!! My heart is so happy right now.
	7:59pm Mike Lupica: Serious NYC TV news muscle memory triggered by that song. "Pat Harper and Steve Bosch with tonight's breaking news, Roberto Turado with the weather, and all the latest sports updates with Jerry Girard. This is Channel 11 ACTION NEWS"
	7:59pm schmutz: yayyy
	7:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" by "Cha... YAY SINGING DJS!!!
	8:00pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" by "Cha... OK, so what does "semi-live" mean? :-)
	8:00pm Roberto: Derp I forgot about this fill-in.
	8:00pm βrian: ↳ Song: "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" by "Cha... Dancing bare is really the only proper way to dance.
	8:01pm Charlie: ↳ Dan S @8:00 haha! I pre-recorded the ukulele, but sang live:)
	8:01pm Charlie: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:59 Gotta sing!
	8:01pm coelacanth∅: greetings Charlie and busybodies
	8:01pm Charlie: Oh, hey Roberto and coela!
	8:02pm Roberto: Charlie and Mike Lupica on WFMU -- what is this, 2003?
	8:02pm Yvang: ↳ Charlie @8:01 Semi-live or Auto-karaoke.
	8:02pm tom tom the pipers son: hello charlie and all...
	8:03pm Webhamster Henry: I forgot too but will catch the last hour live
	8:04pm Dan S: I'm so busy going nowhere that I have no time for myself.
	8:04pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Dan S @8:04 I feel that.
	8:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @7:59 fond memories of jerry girard
	8:04pm Dan S: I'm busy doing nothing, too.
	8:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:04 He was the king. Total hall-of-famer.
	8:05pm Charlie: howdy tomtom & Henry
	8:05pm βrian: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:01 Coel, how goes life in the bathypelagic zone?
	8:05pm wimpy: I didn't know gershwin had any actual recordings. granted, i don't very much about the man
	8:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Prelude No. 2 for Piano" by "George Gershwin" interesting... so many echoes of the past and future
	8:06pm wimpy: between this and that ellington comp you played from earlier though, I think I have some homework!
	8:06pm Webhamster Henry: I had some Gershwin player piano rolls, but not cut by him
	8:08pm coelacanth∅: ↳ βrian @8:05 whoaa, that's deep... - it's cold; but then it's cold up there too.
	8:09pm βrian: "Davy the Fat Boy" needs a comma to feel better.
	8:10pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Davy the Fat Boy" by "Randy Newman" Short people got no reason to live, but what about Davy the Fat Boy?
	8:12pm Dan S: Even at a place like WFMU, your sets stand out as musically eclectic! Congrats, Charlie!
	8:13pm Dan S: ↳ βrian @8:09 And perhaps a prescription for Ozempic.
	8:13pm Roberto: ↳ βrian @8:09 Dav, Y the Fat Boy?
	8:14pm Charlie: ↳ Dan S @8:12 Thanks Dan!
	8:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dan S @8:13 That's really mean.
	8:14pm Jeff Moore: ↳ βrian @8:09 Davy the Fat, Boy?
	8:16pm Dan S: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:14 More or less so than the song itself?
	8:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dan S @8:16 I'm talking to you, not to Randy Newman.
	8:17pm chresti: Hiiieeee!
	8:17pm Charlie: I actually don't think the song is mean. Mebbe I'll say sumpin about that.
	8:18pm Charlie: Well hi chresti!
	8:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:58 This set has been amazing. Driving around Seattle, Mrs DJP was amazed that I sang along to MacArthur Park and then alarmed that I knew the words to Simon Smith! Outrageous! Charming!
	8:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @8:17 I agree. I think the songwriting shows empathy.
	8:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Peter @8:18 Yay! I also sang along to both songs. Hope you're having a fab time in Seattle, DJP!
	8:20pm Dan S: ↳ Charlie @8:17 I remember the big controversy over his "Short People" back in the 1970s.
	8:22pm tom tom the pipers son: mannix does sound gay porn....imho
	8:22pm Roberto: ↳ Dan S @8:20 I read that Randy thought the lyrics were so over the top that there was no way anyone could take them seriously. A sense of irony is not innate to many people.
	8:24pm JimmyTallow: Damn that was you doing Simon and the Dancing Bear?? That was great man
	8:24pm spodiodi: ↳ chresti @8:17 hi chresti!\\//
	8:24pm chresti: Saw the Persuasions in Mac Arthur park
	8:25pm Dan S: ↳ Roberto @8:22 Truth. Even some folks on the comments board here.
	8:25pm tom tom the pipers son: can a person who wrote this couplet have a mean bone in their body? Beat-up little seagull On a marble stair Tryna find the ocean Lookin' everywhere
	8:26pm Franco Twinkie: I saw Jimmy Webb at MacArthur Park. When he played the eponymous song, an LAPD helicopter was shining it's spotlight on the bushes behind the band shell, looking for dead bodies no doubt.
	8:26pm chresti: ↳ spodiodi @8:24 hi spodi!\\//
	8:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:26 someone left a corpse out in the rain
	8:27pm Franco Twinkie: Badda bing!
	8:28pm Charlie: Hi JimmyTallow (and thanks!) and hi Franco!
	8:29pm Franco Twinkie: H Charlie!
	8:30pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:27 Ha!
	8:33pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Lavender Blues" by "Surely Shirley" "Surely you jest." "I do not jest, and don't call me Shirley."
	8:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Roberto @8:22 or to put it in another way, people are dumbasses. hypocritical pretend liberals looking for a new confrontation.
	8:33pm ?: I mean, do they really have parks in LA? Apart from car parks, I mean.
	8:34pm Charlie: ↳ @8:33 Yes, lots of beautiful parks actually!
	8:35pm Roberto: ↳ Charlie @8:34 Si, hay muchos parques.
	8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ @8:33 walking down a street in west hollywood, my friend pointed to a flower in full bloom, she said, "it's been like that for a couple of months..."
	8:37pm Jen: I love this Paul Simon song!
	8:37pm Charlie: ↳ Jen @8:37 Me too!
	8:37pm wimpy: I've only visited LA once and didn't see any parks, but did see a lot of oil refineries where it looked like a park should've gone
	8:38pm βrian: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:36 Has that park yet been officially named?
	8:39pm Charlie: ↳ wimpy @8:37 It's a huge city. There are parks so vast that as you hike around you forget you're in a city
	8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ βrian @8:38 wasn't a park...just someone;'s front yard
	8:40pm Dan S: ↳ Jen @8:37 Yes, and it's from a truly great album.
	8:41pm Chris S.: Hola Charlie!
	8:42pm Charlie: Hi Chris! Happy Sunday:)
	8:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ @8:33 I can see there's a lot of parochial nitwits in the audience tonight. Stay out of L.A. if you know what's good for you.
	8:42pm Chris S.: 🙂
	8:43pm wimpy: ↳ Charlie @8:39 That sounds sick! i was only there for disney (lame, I know) so I doubt I saw even a fraction of what the city had to offer.
	8:43pm βrian: ↳ Charlie @8:39 Yep, but "walking distance" is what makes parks meaningful.
	8:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Aviatrix" by "The 3 Clubmen" I love this album.
	8:45pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:44 This is one of the best songs of recent years! The video is amazing:) (linked on the playlist)
	8:46pm Chris S.: ❤️
	8:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ βrian @8:43 L.A. is full of short people who have no reason to live
	8:46pm Chris S.: Love this song!
	8:46pm βrian: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:42 Do elaborate!
	8:46pm Roberto: ↳ Charlie @8:39 Griffith Echo Rancho Etc
	8:47pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:46 That's why I Love L.A.
	8:47pm Dan S: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:46 But They Love L.A., anyway.
	8:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @8:47 you got it....
	8:48pm Roberto: ↳ βrian @8:43 Nah, just drive yer ass there then walk all you like.
	8:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan S @8:47 i hope i don't suffer the same fate as randy newman
	8:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @8:48 but that has no meaning.....!
	8:50pm Webhamster Henry: I was listening to 70s Laurie A just this morning on Ubu.com
	8:50pm βrian: I've heard more than a few encomiums about the amazing food scene in LA. I'd arrange a guided visit for that, if nothing else.
	8:50pm Charlie: ↳ Roberto @8:47 That's why I love mankind
	8:51pm Dan S: A few years ago there was a TV sitcom starring Ted Danson as the Mayor of L.A. It wasn't a commercial success, but I thought it was pretty funny at times.
	8:51pm Chris S.: ↳ Charlie @8:50 EVERYONE??
	8:51pm Charlie: ↳ βrian @8:50 The food scene in Tucson is legendary
	8:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @8:45 I just watched it with the sound muted. Yes, it was lovely!
	8:51pm Roberto: ↳ Dan S @8:51 Ted Danson has starred in a lot of series.
	8:52pm Charlie: ↳ Chris S. @8:51 It's the title of a Randy Newman song
	8:52pm Chris S.: ↳ Charlie @8:52 And that is what I've learned for today.
	8:54pm tom tom the pipers son: george gershwin and laurie anderson just collided in my head....laurie anderson adapting porgy and bess?
	8:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @8:39 i don't know if this counts but i was "lost" for over an hour, driving in angeles state park. -probably a breath away from mortal disaster but very exhilarating!
	8:55pm Mike Lupica: Thanks for an awesome show, Charlie!
	8:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Charlie!
	8:56pm Dan S: ↳ Charlie @8:52 A brilliantly dark Randy Newman song, as I recall.
	8:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thank you. Charlie! xo
	8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks charlie....
	8:56pm Roberto: Gotta get ready to be late for Mike L's show. Seeyuh!
	8:57pm Charlie: Thanks everyone! Stay tuned for Mike L and the Tardigrades! Playlist: wfmu.org...
	8:58pm Dan S: Anyway, thanks for the show, Charlie! I thoroughly enjoyed the part of it I heard. Now it's time for me to go back to doing nothing.
	8:58pm βrian: In my world, Gillian is an adjective that sets my heart to fluttering.
	8:58pm Charlie: (sorry might run over a minute - how rude)
	8:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @8:56 Back when Charlie was a 9 AM DJ on the WFMU Mothership, I always used to say that he got America to work on time. I don't get anyone anyplace on time. Apart from the couch, and even that's probably a stretch.
	8:59pm Yvang: Thanks Charlie for the ukulele and everything!
	8:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Charlie @8:58 I will somehow find it in my heart to forgive you.
	8:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ βrian @8:58 i was lost in Gillianland for a few years when i first discovered her
	9:00pm chresti: Thanks Charlie!
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Charlie!
	👻 12:02pm doctorjazz: Finished the show this morning, thanks Charlie!
