	9:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @9:02 Yvang!
	9:04pm Numero 6: The smashing isn't in sync with the music.
	9:04pm Mike Lupica: Yo pitcrew. Time to get your end-of-year holiday vibes on.
	9:07pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mike and smashing listeners
	🥁 9:07pm Alex from Media: OK holiday party face. Will save the spotify ghost artist diatribes for another time. Let me switch avatars...
	9:09pm Franco Twinkie: If that is indeed a computer in your GIF Mike, I salute you! I feel that's the only logical way to deal with this thing that has overtaken our lives
	9:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @9:07 Alex! I just read an article about Spotify ghost artists this afternoon! PLATE OF SHRIMP.
	🥁 9:10pm tom tom the pipers son: just i slight interruption in party vibe....just read about woman being set on fire while sitting on subway...quite devastating....
	9:10pm coelacanth∅: it looks like too many potentially moving parts to be a computer. i'm guessing a copy machine, or fax...(?)
	9:10pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:09 Y'all talking about the Liz Pelly piece? harpers.org...
	9:11pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:10 Same. Yeah, totally dreadful.
	🥁 9:11pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:10 Just so.
	9:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:10 I take it back. I like copy machines.
	🥁 9:13pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:09 Best scene in the movie.
	9:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:10 OK, apparently everyone's Christmas homework assignment is to see the movie Office Space.
	9:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:10 I yam! The one Jeff G shared to the Gab List. I will be ordering the book for my library as soon as I return to VT.
	9:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @9:13 And that's saying something. Repo Man is rife with best moments.
	9:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:13 ohhhh... i saw it (miraculously...) but i don't remember this scene. even now that you remind me.
	9:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:13 I love Office Space! "So... yeah... I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday..."
	🥁 9:15pm Yvang: Brooklyn's dead and Kingston's booming, I always said that.
	9:15pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:15 Ahead of the curve, as always!
	9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "So Typically Now" by "U.S. Girls" I didn't love this album when it came out, but hearing this song now, I dig it. Such is the magic of radio.
	9:16pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:12 an early job after high school (although i was there for 5-6 years) there was an old-school copier in the office. just black/white, had to use special paper and the whole top moved back & forth. i made dozens of "art" pieces on that!
	🥁 9:16pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:13 And Idiocracy for New Years's eve.
	🥁 9:17pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @9:16 Another classic.
	🥁 9:18pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Eibaer" by "Grauzone" Jon Solomon 4-eva!
	🥁 9:20pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @9:18 Also Staich Ken played it a billion times.
	🥁 9:21pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Feels Right" by "Biig Piig" Thiis iis niice!
	9:23pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:21 Watch the viideo! Wiill remiind you that the kiids are alriight.
	9:28pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:16 That's why I like copiers - art. The only time I ever worked in an office, was as a carpenter. I was on the crew that built the office space for the Sfi-Channel in Hollywood. I was left behind to finish all the crap that was left undone when they moved in, so I got a peek how young taste makers write 'content' for the TV viewers of America
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:28 whenever i see/hear that word "content" used in this context, i replace it in my mind with "fodder". ...yes i assumed art was the reason for your opinion!
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: ...yes i did not work in this office. i worked outside, on/in the graveyard, or in the garage fixing machinery or making plaques, footstones and benches. but only the cemetery director worked in the office and he was rarely around.
	9:36pm Franco Twinkie: Graveyard furniture!
	9:39pm chresti: maybe you want a blixer for your kitchen?
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:36 people paid a small fortune to have a bench dedicated to someone; but all it was was concrete poured into a mould, and 2 wrought iron legs.
	9:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @9:39 A Blixer Bargeld, perhaps? What a tremendous branding opportunity!
	🥁 9:41pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Clapping Song" by "Shirley Ellis" Ha reminds me of my sisters doing miss mary mack and other clapping routines.
	9:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:40 Did you make molds?
	🥁 9:44pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "I Want A Chance For Romance" by "Hector Rivera" The KNAVE!
	🥁 9:46pm Yvang: ↳ Yvang @9:44 (It's the Knave show's opening ICYDK.)
	9:46pm Mike Lupica: But of course!
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:41 no there were only 3 moulds: one bench, one small footstone, one "family" footstone. the cemetery had no headstones; so looking across it from an edge it just looked like fields. -in fact when i got the job i had no idea it was a cemetery! i thought it was the grounds of some hotel or something that must be hidden behind trees. i'd just been interviewed and hired, and my last question before leaving was "by the way, what is this place?"!
	🥁 9:50pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "New York Connection" by "The Sweet" Flashback to standing around a keg in someone's garage smoking hash.
	9:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @9:50 Aye. We are all that garage. And that keg. And that hash.
	🥁 10:01pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Barbarians" by "The Burning Hell" For those who dig viking stuff there's an Icelandic movie "When the Raven flies". Billed as a viking spaghetti western and they did not lie.
	10:03pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:47 Ha!
	🥁 10:03pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @10:01 Never heard of it but makes me curious.
	10:04pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "In the Mouth" by "Cows" This is my preferred lampshade-on-head song.
	🥁 10:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @10:03 Director Hrafn Gunnlaugsson did a series of three. A funny note, when in Iceland I stayed at a place with posters from this movie. When I commented it turned out to be the director's sister I was speaking to.
	10:06pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:05 Wow!
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "In the Mouth" by "Cows" reminds me of foetus
	10:08pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 I remember hearing a wonderful story about a Cows gig from a pal in Ohio where the singer did the whole set wearing a wool ski hat. Did his usual wild stage show, hanging from the rafters, leaping into the crowd, getting totally sweaty and gross... Last song starts, he removes the hat and retrieves a sweat-soaked ham sandwich from within it, and eats it on stage.
	10:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @10:01 for the moment at least, it's on youboob in it's entirety. Thank you.
	🥁 10:10pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @10:05 The incredible thing is the population is only about 400 000 people in Iceland.
	🥁 10:11pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @10:10 As Bjork says. You know the smell of everyones farts.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:08 hahaha... EWWWW ... hahaha!
	🥁 10:12pm Yvang: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:10 Oh yeah.
	🥁 10:12pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @10:11 Well... I am cancelling my trip!
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Yvang @10:12 now hold on a minute... what do they eat in iceland?!
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: maybe their farts all smell like various roasts of coffee
	🥁 10:15pm Yvang: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:13 Hardfiskur
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Yvang @10:15 ah, dried fish! ...could be worse... could be sweat-soaked ham sandwiches.
	10:20pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:08 Okay here's one: This I saw - the singer in a band called The Silver Chalice drank a bottle of Wesson oil on stage. The next day I heard, he was walking to the bank wearing leather pants, and all the oil came out.
	10:21pm chresti: I don’t think the brain dies-it just gets crowded with blobs
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: see, Mike... i had to let go of that office space movie scene to make room for hardfiskur, a Björk quote, and Alex's and Franco's stories.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:20 did he then make a detour to mcdonalds to offer them the oil for their fryer?
	10:24pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:20 I WOULD LIKE TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS NEWSLETTER!!!
	10:24pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:22 Hahah!
	🥁 10:25pm Chop Scott: Here I is--Cheers Mike & Starlite Loungers!
	🥁 10:25pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Accra Electronica" by "African Head Charge" This is one of your tunes found it's way into my playlists, and always conjures this show when I hear it
	10:26pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:25 Well I am thrilled by the association!
	10:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @10:25 Ahoy Chop! It's OK, we haven't really started yet -- I've just been bloviating about street preachers for 90 minutes.
	🥁 10:31pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:26 That was sarcasm wasnt it.
	10:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:31 Not at all! I consider it an honor to be thought of in the same breath as African Head Charge!
	🥁 10:38pm Yvang: Flipper rules.
	10:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:38 That they do.
	10:41pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Down to Goblin Town" by "JRR Tolkien" That's Thurl Ravenscroft singing.
	🥁 10:42pm tom tom the pipers son: i think i mightstart believing in elves ...for the elf of it...i mean what the elf....
	10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ David Shortell @10:41 One of the only songs on the soundtrack that doesn't sound like Jim Croce.
	10:44pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Freakazoid Manifesto" by "FOOM" Hall of fame lyric: "I'm an H-Bomb Dildo Flying into the Sun"
	10:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:44 THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE TO GO AFTER THIS SONG.
	🥁 10:46pm tom tom the pipers son: why....that's suicidal... i do say...

	🥁 10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: getting no where...ah peel thought it sounded different...a medley no less
	10:50pm StringOFperils: Hey there, good evening...almost forgot what day it was!
	10:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:50 Girls at Our Best gets the Stars on 45 treatment!
	🥁 10:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ha..yes...
	10:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:50 I don't even know what planet this is.
	🥁 10:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:44 it's funny and all but what separates it from the slim pickens strangelove character
	10:53pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Getting Beautiful (Medley)" by "Girls At Our Best" Yeah man. This is like Taco. Ha ha

	11:31pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Charlie @11:29 Charlie, your (over)playing of this song recontextualized it to the point that I can not hear it without thinking of your show!

Listener comments!
	9:01pm Numero 6: So how many times can he smash that radio?
	9:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Mike! Thanks for inviting me to the Starlite Lounge Office Holiday Party. I'm up in Lake Hopatcong, so I didn't have as far to travel. I brought cheese, of course.
	🥁 9:02pm Yvang: Bongiorno, Mike, Number 6, Wendo and all lucky listeners!
	🥁 9:02pm Alex from Media: Hey all, that gif sums it up.
	9:03pm Numero 6: Greetings to all Mikeaholics!
	🥁 9:03pm tom tom the pipers son: hello ...i'm glad someone smashed the copying machine preventing someone from xeroxing their ass at the starlight lounge party...hello mike...
	9:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @9:02 Yvang!
	9:04pm Numero 6: The smashing isn't in sync with the music.
	9:04pm Mike Lupica: Yo pitcrew. Time to get your end-of-year holiday vibes on.
	9:07pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mike and smashing listeners
	🥁 9:07pm Alex from Media: OK holiday party face. Will save the spotify ghost artist diatribes for another time. Let me switch avatars...
	9:09pm Franco Twinkie: If that is indeed a computer in your GIF Mike, I salute you! I feel that's the only logical way to deal with this thing that has overtaken our lives
	9:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @9:07 Alex! I just read an article about Spotify ghost artists this afternoon! PLATE OF SHRIMP.
	🥁 9:10pm tom tom the pipers son: just i slight interruption in party vibe....just read about woman being set on fire while sitting on subway...quite devastating....
	9:10pm coelacanth∅: it looks like too many potentially moving parts to be a computer. i'm guessing a copy machine, or fax...(?)
	9:10pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:09 Y'all talking about the Liz Pelly piece? harpers.org...
	9:11pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:10 Same. Yeah, totally dreadful.
	🥁 9:11pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:10 Just so.
	9:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:10 I take it back. I like copy machines.
	🥁 9:13pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:09 Best scene in the movie.
	9:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:10 OK, apparently everyone's Christmas homework assignment is to see the movie Office Space.
	9:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:10 I yam! The one Jeff G shared to the Gab List. I will be ordering the book for my library as soon as I return to VT.
	9:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @9:13 And that's saying something. Repo Man is rife with best moments.
	9:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:13 ohhhh... i saw it (miraculously...) but i don't remember this scene. even now that you remind me.
	9:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:13 I love Office Space! "So... yeah... I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday..."
	🥁 9:15pm Yvang: Brooklyn's dead and Kingston's booming, I always said that.
	9:15pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:15 Ahead of the curve, as always!
	9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "So Typically Now" by "U.S. Girls" I didn't love this album when it came out, but hearing this song now, I dig it. Such is the magic of radio.
	9:16pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:12 an early job after high school (although i was there for 5-6 years) there was an old-school copier in the office. just black/white, had to use special paper and the whole top moved back & forth. i made dozens of "art" pieces on that!
	🥁 9:16pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:13 And Idiocracy for New Years's eve.
	🥁 9:17pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @9:16 Another classic.
	🥁 9:18pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Eibaer" by "Grauzone" Jon Solomon 4-eva!
	🥁 9:20pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @9:18 Also Staich Ken played it a billion times.
	🥁 9:21pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Feels Right" by "Biig Piig" Thiis iis niice!
	9:23pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:21 Watch the viideo! Wiill remiind you that the kiids are alriight.
	9:28pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:16 That's why I like copiers - art. The only time I ever worked in an office, was as a carpenter. I was on the crew that built the office space for the Sfi-Channel in Hollywood. I was left behind to finish all the crap that was left undone when they moved in, so I got a peek how young taste makers write 'content' for the TV viewers of America
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:28 whenever i see/hear that word "content" used in this context, i replace it in my mind with "fodder". ...yes i assumed art was the reason for your opinion!
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: ...yes i did not work in this office. i worked outside, on/in the graveyard, or in the garage fixing machinery or making plaques, footstones and benches. but only the cemetery director worked in the office and he was rarely around.
	9:36pm Franco Twinkie: Graveyard furniture!
	9:39pm chresti: maybe you want a blixer for your kitchen?
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:36 people paid a small fortune to have a bench dedicated to someone; but all it was was concrete poured into a mould, and 2 wrought iron legs.
	9:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @9:39 A Blixer Bargeld, perhaps? What a tremendous branding opportunity!
	🥁 9:41pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Clapping Song" by "Shirley Ellis" Ha reminds me of my sisters doing miss mary mack and other clapping routines.
	9:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:40 Did you make molds?
	🥁 9:44pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "I Want A Chance For Romance" by "Hector Rivera" The KNAVE!
	🥁 9:46pm Yvang: ↳ Yvang @9:44 (It's the Knave show's opening ICYDK.)
	9:46pm Mike Lupica: But of course!
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:41 no there were only 3 moulds: one bench, one small footstone, one "family" footstone. the cemetery had no headstones; so looking across it from an edge it just looked like fields. -in fact when i got the job i had no idea it was a cemetery! i thought it was the grounds of some hotel or something that must be hidden behind trees. i'd just been interviewed and hired, and my last question before leaving was "by the way, what is this place?"!
	🥁 9:50pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "New York Connection" by "The Sweet" Flashback to standing around a keg in someone's garage smoking hash.
	9:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @9:50 Aye. We are all that garage. And that keg. And that hash.
	🥁 10:01pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Barbarians" by "The Burning Hell" For those who dig viking stuff there's an Icelandic movie "When the Raven flies". Billed as a viking spaghetti western and they did not lie.
	10:03pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:47 Ha!
	🥁 10:03pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @10:01 Never heard of it but makes me curious.
	10:04pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "In the Mouth" by "Cows" This is my preferred lampshade-on-head song.
	🥁 10:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @10:03 Director Hrafn Gunnlaugsson did a series of three. A funny note, when in Iceland I stayed at a place with posters from this movie. When I commented it turned out to be the director's sister I was speaking to.
	10:06pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:05 Wow!
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "In the Mouth" by "Cows" reminds me of foetus
	10:08pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 I remember hearing a wonderful story about a Cows gig from a pal in Ohio where the singer did the whole set wearing a wool ski hat. Did his usual wild stage show, hanging from the rafters, leaping into the crowd, getting totally sweaty and gross... Last song starts, he removes the hat and retrieves a sweat-soaked ham sandwich from within it, and eats it on stage.
	10:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @10:01 for the moment at least, it's on youboob in it's entirety. Thank you.
	🥁 10:10pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @10:05 The incredible thing is the population is only about 400 000 people in Iceland.
	🥁 10:11pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @10:10 As Bjork says. You know the smell of everyones farts.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:08 hahaha... EWWWW ... hahaha!
	🥁 10:12pm Yvang: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:10 Oh yeah.
	🥁 10:12pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @10:11 Well... I am cancelling my trip!
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Yvang @10:12 now hold on a minute... what do they eat in iceland?!
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: maybe their farts all smell like various roasts of coffee
	🥁 10:15pm Yvang: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:13 Hardfiskur
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Yvang @10:15 ah, dried fish! ...could be worse... could be sweat-soaked ham sandwiches.
	10:20pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:08 Okay here's one: This I saw - the singer in a band called The Silver Chalice drank a bottle of Wesson oil on stage. The next day I heard, he was walking to the bank wearing leather pants, and all the oil came out.
	10:21pm chresti: I don’t think the brain dies-it just gets crowded with blobs
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: see, Mike... i had to let go of that office space movie scene to make room for hardfiskur, a Björk quote, and Alex's and Franco's stories.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:20 did he then make a detour to mcdonalds to offer them the oil for their fryer?
	10:24pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:20 I WOULD LIKE TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS NEWSLETTER!!!
	10:24pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:22 Hahah!

	10:26pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:25 Well I am thrilled by the association!
	10:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @10:25 Ahoy Chop! It's OK, we haven't really started yet -- I've just been bloviating about street preachers for 90 minutes.
	🥁 10:31pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:26 That was sarcasm wasnt it.
	10:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:31 Not at all! I consider it an honor to be thought of in the same breath as African Head Charge!
	🥁 10:38pm Yvang: Flipper rules.
	10:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:38 That they do.
	10:41pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Down to Goblin Town" by "JRR Tolkien" That's Thurl Ravenscroft singing.
	🥁 10:42pm tom tom the pipers son: i think i mightstart believing in elves ...for the elf of it...i mean what the elf....
	10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ David Shortell @10:41 One of the only songs on the soundtrack that doesn't sound like Jim Croce.

	11:31pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Charlie @11:29 Charlie, your (over)playing of this song recontextualized it to the point that I can not hear it without thinking of your show!
