Listener comments!
	9:02am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:02am bobdoesthings: who was that quote from in your opening? I wanna guess Robert Anton Wilson?? but I dunno..
	9:02am Wild Neil: PEACE all!
	9:02am Marcel M: The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.
	9:02am fleep: 6:03 AM in Studio City. Brrrzzzap!
	🎙 9:02am Ken From Hyde Park: I like this show in its Latin name: Blurrus Obscurus.
	9:04am BEAVO: Hey man you're on more now than before. that's cool.
	9:04am Cecile: Hi Jonathan!
	9:04am bobdoesthings: oh neat I was right! I feel cool.
	9:06am Wild Neil: Cliff is probably teaching Czechs in Prague English right now so no Cliff right now.....The Fates is pretty awesome! Its like the guitars from Brian Jonestown Massacre and vocals from...I do not know where from it comes...hey Jonathan! Hey Cecile! Hey everybody!
	9:08am Wild Neil: I meant Sunroof. Oops!
	🎙 9:09am Jherweg: Howdy Gang!!
	9:09am BEAVO: Isn't that what Trump is running on? Making the future the past.
	9:10am Gang: Zup?
	9:12am Wild Neil: @Beavo- Reshoring. en.wikipedia.org...
	9:14am Cheri Pi: Yo Jonathan
	9:14am cory: it took three shots of vodka to get me out of bed. hi all
	🎙 9:17am ĨĨkєє: I was just listening to an archive of your late Sat. fill-in. I switched over to the live stream & thought my phone was malfunctioning & was stuck in the archive. But woah, nope, you are actually really live. Either that or I really need a cup of tea.
	9:19am Wild Neil: I see "Leic" and it makes me think of Leica cameras...best in the world...
	9:21am Nick S.: Morning, Jonathan! Enjoying the set.
	9:23am Wild Neil: Golden Dawn was created by Masons...per Wikipedia...
	9:26am the Canterbury wood-elf: WB Yeats was in the Golden Dawn i think. And there was a Sarah Records band who took the name (and wrote a song about "Dyson spheres" that showed up as a B-side... a very un-Sarah kind of concept: en.wikipedia.org...)
	9:26am Rich in Washington: Good morning, Jonathan!
	9:27am Marcel M: Maybe he shaved with a sharp rock?
	9:27am bobdoesthings: ALSO - all the posters... he also parts his hair... who gave him a comb?! and gave him that idea of parting your hair?!
	9:28am Cecile: Tarzan makes no sense to me.
	9:28am sphere: greetings all
	9:28am pantz: Maybe Tarzan has Alopecia?
	9:29am Tarzan: Tarzan say, remember me fictional character. Why not give Batman some shit?
	9:29am ((Murakami Whywolf): I read an excerpt in which he finds a knife and a mirror, and (as a scion of civilised whiteness) _instinctually_ knows that he _must_ painfully scrape off his facial hair in order to look _right_.
	🎙 9:29am єki: What I don't understand is how that movie got greenlit, and even weirder, it didn't bomb. WHY DIDN'T IT BOMB? Who went to see this?!? And apparently it's not an origin story. It's like a fake sequel to a nonexistent movie or something.
	9:29am Cecile: You can! Just have 2 areas on your grill. One hot, one cooler. Get both sides browned, and then put on the cool part of the grill.
	9:32am AnAnonymousParty: "Your DJ speaks over Gas" ... cue Beavis and Butthead laughter.
	9:32am the Canterbury wood-elf: (or just leave the poor chickens alone)
	9:32am Wild Neil: @Cecile-I have a Weber grill with no cool zone...I MAKE half the coals stay on one side, and the other side empty...and grill my Italian sausage on the empty side...maybe that is what you actually meant and I mis-read? I do not brown, but I think that is personal preference (griller's choice)...it ended up browning anyway, but I lost context and am jumpin in on your post....
	9:33am ((Murakami Whywolf): I thought the movie did bomb...the commercials make it look awkward, like they know the concept is incredibly colonialist and usually very racist, but if they're _really_ careful.... Alexander Skarsgård on Colbert's show was fairly funny describing his physical training regimen for it.
	9:34am Cecile: My neighbor and her friend saw it. They're both Samuel L. Jackson fans. We went and saw Dory while they were watching that. I'm sure we had more fun.
	9:36am Cecile: Gas grill cool zone, charcoal no or less charcoal side
	9:37am Wild Neil: "the future is not the past"...interesting concept... @Cecile-oh, I see! De-colonization had some unintended consquences...in some countries that are now a mess...not reported much on the news...
	9:39am MD: Good Post Holidaze Glow to Ya'll
	9:39am JoeRay: Herwig in the AM!
	9:40am Hauswolff: This szounds like my refrigerator. I love it.
	9:42am Refrigerator repairman: Ya? You might wanna have that checked out.
	9:43am JoeRay: Do other commenters occasionally have trouble logging in with your computer/laptop? I can't comment with my laptop but I can with my iPhone!
	🎙 9:46am Jherweg: The monitor is back on PHEW, thank you LIz Berg...!
	9:46am sphere: JoeRay - laptop is fine by me. maybe you are having connectivity problems? the iPhone my be on cell and the laptop may be on Wi-Fi.
	9:47am bobdoesthings: If i opened my refrigerator and it played this Tim Coster track.. my food would spoil.
	9:55am JoeRay: Thanks sphere! I'm not sure if that's it since my laptop is on wi-fi . The login states that my password is incorrect.
	9:58am Furchick: Hey Jonathan
	🎙 9:59am Jherweg: Howdy Furchick!!
	10:00am Wild Neil: @Jonathan-did <KAEB use a Mellotron?
	10:01am bobdoesthings: patriotism is weird. I don't care for all the flag waving myself..
	10:02am Furchick: not very convincing that you are proud to be american.
	10:02am Wild Neil: We NEVER should have invaded Iraq...
	10:03am the Canterbury wood-elf: George Carlin got it right: "I could never understand ethnic or national pride. Because to me, pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth. Being Irish isn't a skill, it’s a fucking genetic accident. You wouldn't say “I’m proud to be 5’11”. I’m proud to have a predisposition for colon cancer.” So why the fuck would you be proud to be Irish, or proud to be Italian, or American or anything?"
	10:04am Marcel M: Good looks on the no shorts. I'm with you.
	10:04am Wild Neil: I am proud of our Constitution...and the concept that the law applies to everybody equally....
	10:06am Cecile: I think you should wear shorts. Heat trumps appearance. You grow old so you don't have to give a shit.
	10:06am Listener142985: Largely agree on fashion statement, but bicyclists with decent musculature get a pass on the no-shorts-over-40 diktat.
	10:06am AnAnonymousParty: It's ok, in a few years you'll opt for comfort over fashion. or at least in my to the extent my wife will let me.
	10:07am pantz: I saw Garbage Juice open up for Hep B in 1978. What a show!
	10:07am Hauswolff: My mistake earlier. I realize that I hadn't actually turned WFMU on yet and was in fact listening to my refrigerator. I love Tim Coster.
	10:07am Cecile: I don't know CWE, I think you can be proud of the specific cultural things a nation or group has created.
	10:07am Planet Tyler: I always thought shorts were gross, so I support you!
	10:07am sphere: i'm proud of the ideals that America is based on. sure there's been a lot of abuse, exploitation, and ignorant mouthing about them. but we can always return to those values and say "we're not good enough. not yet." and that is what is great about America i think.
	10:07am bobdoesthings: @marcel - you'll never guess what I'm wearing. I broke down and for the past week have been a shorts guy... I'm with @cecile - I think after recently turning 30 I just would rather be as comfortable as possible and say fuck it.. I don't like wearing shorts.. doesn't feel right.. but I also couldnt care less about that weird sense of 'identity' .. eh.. I'm not the clothes man!!
	10:09am the Canterbury wood-elf: @WildNeil Would it make sense for you to be proud of another country's constitution, though (if it was a really good one)? If you said that, it would just sound weird. I mean, it's not like you (or anyone else alive who's into it) actually wrote the US Constitution, so why the pride?
	10:09am Wild Neil: I think open toed shoes or sandals in NYC are extremely risky though...but I do love my Columbia sandals my wife got me...but I live in the sticks....I saw PIL at the Palladium during a garbage strike. Yikes! I am a nationalist, so I am more protective than proud of the USA....I think Sphere nailed it...we can ASPIRE to greatness since it is WRITTEN in our Constiution and Declaration of Independence...
	10:09am coelacanth: greetings Jonathan and obscured listeners
	10:10am glenn: oh please. the law applies to everybody equally? not a fucking chance.
	10:11am Marcel M: @BOB: Oh snap. Herschel Shortsman over here. All good it makes more sense to wear them, I'm a vain fool.
	10:13am Wild Neil: @TheCanturburyWoodElf-I don't think any other constitution in the world starts off "We The People" emphasizing that the power of the elected is on loan and with the consent of the governed....that alone makes me proud, yes...the Polish Constiution however, is a mess and NOBODY takes is seriously unless its expedient to according to somebody who would know...
	10:14am ((Murakami Whywolf): the Canterbury wood-elf: Carlin makes sense, but humans don't—at least if you don't reckon with our living with and by small tribes of relatives for most of our history, and identifying with those groups very strongly. Modern people, who often enjoy the illusion that we're independent, are less prone to it...which I prefer, but I know that this is unusual in historic terms.
	10:14am bobdoesthings: I'm still strongly opposed to sandals.. that's where I draw the line.. People on the subway with half an inch of rubber between them and the ground. I do not understand that.
	10:14am coelacanth: i 100% agree with wood elf (& George Carlin). if there is anything the founders had to be proud of, the people of today sure's hell don't deserve a piece of that pride. they did nothing to deserve to feel pride.
	10:15am ((Murakami Whywolf): Whenever I hear someone say 'Why should I be ashamed of things America did one hundred and fifty years ago?' I ask 'Are you proud of anything America did back then?'.
	10:16am Wild Neil: Recent achievements of US: 1. Winning WWII-that's a pretty big one... 2. Helping John Paul II stop the Cold War... 3. Winning the Korean War...sort of...
	10:17am coelacanth: ...and i'm not so insecure with myself to be overheated on a hot day for concern over what other people might think. i don't give a fuck.
	10:18am Elderbush: Right on, Coelacanth.
	10:19am Furchick: .. WWII. I think there may have been some other countries involved in that.
	10:19am Cecile: Murakami - feeling emotions for something outside oneself is a good thing for a human. But when this precious vulnerability is preyed on by church, state, whatever, it's an awful thing to see.
	10:20am the Canterbury wood-elf: @WildNeil It's not about the value of the US Constitution in relation to any others, it's about the idea of people feeling "pride" in things they had no part in creating. If you heard someone from Iceland say they were proud of the US Constitution, or an American with no Danish background say they were proud of Denmark's constitution (or Iggy Pop saying he was proud of "Astral Weeks"), wouldn't that strike you as a bit odd?
	🎙 10:20am Jherweg: I love a spirited debate....
	10:20am glenn: yeah, the u.s. came late to the w.w.ii game, as i recall.
	10:20am Wild Neil: This JFK is pretty gnarly!
	10:21am Marcel M: Its funny cuz people get pissed when I don't wear shorts. They want me to conform to their standards. OH SNAP I TOPSEY TURVIED THAT SHIT ! YE OLDE SWITCHAROO
	10:22am Bryan Chandler: Just curious, can you please talk about the music as opposed to comments about your clothes?
	10:22am Marcel M: @Bryan: Good music. Happy?
	10:22am coelacanth: ...and the country today is very different than during ww2. people are so weak and spoiled now that we didn't have the good sense to overthrow the bush family from government.
	10:23am Cecile: I just hate sweating so much. So it's dresses and sandals for me, but Minneapolis ain't New York.
	10:23am Bryan Chandler: Music is great, just want to know more...
	10:24am Wild Neil: @Canterbury-I see what you are saying, but I disagree with your premise. I SUBSCRIBE to the US Consitution, and am glad it exists and more elected officials FOLLOW it...like they took an OATH to, just like I did when I joined the USAF. @Coelacanth-Bush family is an evil globalist and they must go away...
	10:24am Bryan Chandler: The music is great, but want to know more about the artists/musicians.
	10:25am coelacanth: yes, actually the u.s. had no intention to help in the world war...aside from selling good to the nazis. we only got into it when the attack was to us directly.
	10:25am Cecile: Jonathan, at least get yourself some perforated leather shoes and some nice linen blend or seersucker trousers. Stay cool!
	10:25am Furchick: That's Jonathan's job. JONATHAN... Bryan wants you.
	10:25am Chlamydio: I decide what to wear based on the music I'm listening to.
	10:26am Marcel M: @Chlamydio: So what does Victor Alzina yield?
	10:28am Chlamydio: Jumpsuit. Linen blend.
	10:28am Furchick: When Daniel Higgs plays I wanna get a tattoo .. not that I have any.
	10:28am coelacanth: well, Neil, that's what kills me about the people of this country though...that we'd let that shit go down. the bush family has been in power since reagan and still is. - and we will pay for that forever.
	10:29am Cecile: Niiiiice.
	10:29am tooplin: on a hot day like today I usually just wear concrete.
	10:29am Bryan Chandler: Well anyways, thanks for the sounds...not sure what these comments have to do with the music. Ce Le Vie...
	10:30am Marcel M: @Bryan: We are just hanging out and chatting. The music speaks for itself.
	10:31am the Canterbury wood-elf: what was my premise?
	10:31am Furchick: loving this music
	10:31am tooplin: what gauge strings he using?
	10:33am Marcel M: @Tooplin: Seems like a custom set. Nickle coated. Do I hear a hex core? I'd guess around .50 - .11. Plain G.
	10:33am Wild Neil: @Coelacanth-oh, the Bush FAMILY goes back much much further than that...look at HW's father for instance....it kills me too dude...we are all like sheep chasing our next mortgage payment and absorbed in watching American Idol hoping we can make our next payment not giving a flying fig about who is actually in power...Reagan could not have been candidate without establishment Bush as his running mate....@Canturbury-I assume your premise is that you can only be proud of what you create, not what others create. Am I right?
	10:35am sphere: That electronic handclap is from a sample of someone with very big hands.
	10:35am Wild Neil: I feel like I am having a political discussion in a noisy nightclub...
	10:35am Cecile: Ok, this isn't the Bunnymen song is it?
	10:36am tooplin: @sphere: I believe it's the LP Big Hand.
	10:36am bobdoesthings: 112 comments!!
	10:37am Cecile: Bryan, I usually ask the DJ flat out about bands, and the board will chime in.
	10:37am JP from KC: Hey e'rybody! I say less politics, more shorts! How about this disturbing trend of men wearing shorts that end above the knee?!
	10:38am coelacanth: wasn't there a movie made about Jonathan Herweg?...called "firestarter"?
	10:38am tooplin: Just the lightest touch of vocal fry. Love it.
	10:38am Marcel M: Men are so repressed, LET THEM WEAR SHORTZ
	10:38am JP from KC: ...Like, really REALLY high above the knee...
	10:39am Furchick: how about those shorts that end above the knee, but the waist is below the butt.
	10:40am Wild Neil: I think short shorts on men are plain wrong...
	10:40am Cecile: Yes! And then there was 1000 leaves where they took on each other's personalities. Well, at least. Lee, Kim and Steve should get back together. Thurston ain't gonna happen and I'm the least interested in him.
	10:41am Marcel M: @JH: Only Bryan wants to hear about the music. We're cool.
	10:41am coelacanth: i don't have to consider if i'm secure enough to wear high above the knee shorts, because i think it'd be uncomfortable!
	10:41am bobdoesthings: HERE HERE! Jonathan!
	10:41am Cecile: Which is weird because I was enthralled by him for years.
	10:41am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Neil Yeh, i suppose that's a good summary of Carlin's premise that i was adopting. And i kind of get that people can feel proud of their friends' and family members' achievements, so what you're expressing is a kind of extrapolation of that to a nation-sized family. But personally i think all forms of pride are probably better dropped. Even without buying into the underlying theology, i can see why it sits alongside sloth and gluttony as one of the "seven deadly sins". Just another obstacle to clarity.
	10:42am tooplin: @Marcel: Modern feminism has stripped men of 60% of the denim they once had.
	10:42am sphere: btw, it is a very good show, Jonathan. i like your style. :)
	10:42am Marcel M: @Tooplin: I for one am nostalgic for the 2nd wave.
	10:43am Furchick: probably spearheaded by companies maximizing profit margins with less fabric
	10:43am bobdoesthings: I want dem shorts that go to your armpits and fall high mid thigh
	🎙 10:43am Jherweg: Mom shorts....
	10:43am sphere: how can we forget the denim coveralls a la "Come on Eileen"?
	10:44am Cecile: I miss the old NBA hot pants uniforms. Sorry for the objectification.
	10:44am Wild Neil: Hey, I asked the Mellotron question...and it went unanswered....I tried to engage then got interested in Politics. @Canturbury-you raise an interesting point about pride! And as a nationalist, its not so much about PRIDE its about protecting a way of life...just like Poles in Poland want to preserve their relatively monolithic culture....coveralls are good for projects around the house in that they protect my chest from splinters and random impacts with stuff...they are like a layer of armor for me...
	10:44am Furchick: "Cool for cats" by UK Squeeze might have started the short shorts trend
	10:45am Furchick: talking about music and shorts
	10:45am tooplin: Talk about a filter sweep!
	10:46am bobdoesthings: ya'll think that wearing sandals is like wearing shorts for your feet?
	10:47am coelacanth: Furchick, i'm sure that's why levis suck now. even the "traditional" styles "505","501" "550"? are "low rise" comparatively. - even though they're supposedly the same style they always were. it's greed and it's bullshit.
	10:47am Cecile: I sure as hell don't. But I do need. A pedicure.
	10:47am Mike East: my job requires me to wear shorts and sandals cuz they won't turn the goddamn air on. Good morning all.
	10:47am Furchick: In Australia we have many men wearing short shorts with thongs (flip flops) and wifebeaters with ACDC printed on. Thats a good look. with a mullet.
	10:48am Furchick: coel, that's the cut off mullet head shorts
	10:48am Rev. Turnip Druid: sup.
	10:48am JP from KC: Which reminds me, Angus Young is the only exception to the short-shorts on men rule. He's earned it.
	10:49am Furchick: Ugh... ACDC from my town.... bogans yobbos dickheads.....
	10:50am Cecile: Furchick, ha! That's what dudes were wearing down there in the mid 70s when I lived there.
	10:50am Furchick: good night fellas
	10:50am coelacanth: i went out with someone who would always smile and say she likes it when we saw some guys with mullets. i would not have done it but i asked her "do want me to make it a mullet?" she said "NOT ON YOU!"
	10:50am Furchick: they still do Cecile
	10:52am Cecile: I'm not a fella, but good night!
	10:52am Marcel M: Great show, Jonathan. Enjoying. (while sweating in my jeans).
	10:53am coelacanth: actually shorts above the knee were the only shorts (at least in the us) until...the 80?
	10:53am Cecile: I like their music, but wouldn't want to meet them.
	🎙 10:53am Jherweg: thanks, not a lot of songs with words.....
	10:54am Marcel M: I remember when I was in middle school everyone wore the ones that came to the ankles and wore them bellow the butt.
	10:55am coelacanth: ...and i don't wear sandals, except on my own front porch. just not practical; but i have no fashion-based bigotry about it in public.
	10:55am Cecile: I think It started with Michael Jordan wanting Bulls trunks that fit over his lucky UNC trunks. True story.
	10:56am coelacanth: by the way Marcel, i guess i saw you perform at snugs!
	10:56am Marcel M: @Coel: Woah, really? Cool! That was a fun show! You live up there?
	10:57am bobdoesthings: <3 snugs harbor!
	10:59am coelacanth: i kept saying i knew "rivercult" from somewhere; then remembered and told a friend "oh, yeah, i bought the ep on bandcamp"....i still didn't remember that it was YOUR band! 'SORRY! i would've said hi.
	11:00am coelacanth: ...yeah, i live here. i'm friends with it's not night it's space; and that's my main hang out.
	11:00am Marcel M: All good! I used to play up there with INNIS all the time with my last band and will be up with RC a lot more. I'm good friends with those guys. We will be at Snug's again Aug 19 and The Anchor in Kingston on Aug 20.
	11:00am Marcel M: Def. say whats up next time
	11:00am Wild Neil: I think sandals are more practical than flip flops...flip flops are beach only and maybe backyard or dash to the car across hot blacktop for me....sandals rule my summer...
	11:01am tooplin: @all: ToeShoes
	11:03am coelacanth: i absolutely will Marcel. i got fairly drunk really fast - otherwise it might've dawned on me. what was your old band name? there's a very good chance i saw you then too!
	11:03am Wild Neil: I am ANTI toe shoes for sure, but toesocks are cute on women...but not dudes....
	11:03am bobdoesthings: foot gloves?
	11:04am Marcel M: @Coel: Eidetic Seeing
	11:05am tooplin: @BOB: YOU GOT IT
	11:06am Marcel M: Boris performing PINK is probably mine.
	11:06am danjoseph: I'm psyched to see Guided By Voices and Protomartyr this Saturday at South Street Seaport....
	11:06am Whosondephone: Piebald!!!
	11:07am bobdoesthings: @toopln! Yes!!
	🎙 11:07am osvi: Great to hear from ya this morning, Jonathan Herweg!
	11:08am coelacanth: Marcel - maybe not...but i may've been drunk for that too!
	11:08am Marcel M: @Coel: Haha
	11:09am tooplin: How do you think the group is dressed during this recording?
	11:09am Cecile: GBV are touring again?
	11:09am Marcel M: @tooplin: Oh shit, bringing it totally full circle.
	🎙 11:10am Jherweg: Apparently the original recording of this was pressed on a lathe in a south american cocaine factory,,,,,how fucking high were these dudes?
	11:11am coelacanth: (by the way you guys were Awesome)
	11:12am bobdoesthings: @tooplin - moondresses with foot gloves and little toe shoes.
	11:12am Marcel M: Thanks Coel! We have a live set airing on Chris M's show tomorrow :-)
	11:12am Marcel M: They must have been mixing the coke with some downers though. Shit is tripped out.
	11:13am Wild Neil: This Portuguese (Brazilian??) music is like free Jazz...pretty cool....echos of King Crimson jams in there.....
	11:14am tooplin: @bob: footglove/moonshoes - business on the top, Party on the back.
	11:15am Mike East: As I type, I'm actually working on the backline order for the seaport show this weekend. GBV is bringing their own, though. Another gig I'd like to be the tech on, but alas, I get stuck in the office.
	11:15am bobdoesthings: @tooplin - tri cornered hat? or ..no?
	11:16am Cecile: Marcel, AWESOME!
	11:16am Wild Neil: @Mike East-what is GBV?
	11:17am tooplin: @Bob: funnily enough I'm having trouble finding ANY pictures of Tom Ellard with a hat on!
	11:17am Wild Neil: OH Guided by Voices...never mind!
	11:19am Cecile: Ok, so that "last show" was a lie? Ugh.
	11:20am Cecile: Maybe you can be the beer coordinator, Mike?
	11:21am Nate K: You again!
	11:22am Mike East: @Cecile - I feel like that job wouldn't be as fun as it sounds
	11:22am Mike East: I see a lot of these bands' hospitality riders and I think about the people that are in charge of taking care of that shit...makes me glad I'm not them.
	11:22am Cecile: Yeah, you'd be way too busy!
	11:27am Cecile: This is sweeet
	11:28am Marcel M: heading to work bye all, thanks Jonathan.
	11:29am bobdoesthings: bye marcel
	11:32am Cecile: Bye Marcel!
	11:34am bobdoesthings: You're killing it @JH
	11:34am coelacanth: see ya Marcel. i'm out too. Thanks Jonathan. Excellent program! tchau
	11:34am rakes: Oh no, love this show but only tuned in during last song. Encore?
	11:37am Wild Neil: @Jonathan-I enjoyed the show immensely! You did not insult me nor tell me to shut up even ONCE due to my divergent political views... Thank you!
	11:37am Rich in Washington: the same thing happened to me when I was temporarily show-less; I ended up logging more hours as a sub for other people.
	🎙 11:39am Jherweg: Yeah it's the freedom to do free form radio when you want total freedom!!
	11:39am Mike East: Really cool show, Jonathan.
	11:41am Wild Neil: @Jhwerweg"Yeah it's the freedom to do free form radio when you want total freedom!! " Yeah, words to live by. Even though you probably disagreed with me you did not lash out. Thanks!
	11:43am bobdoesthings: jaw just hit the floor... this is great!!! (Hypertrain)
	11:43am steve: i like your style JH! sorry to say never caught the show before, i'll definitely be digging through your archives.
	11:44am Cecile: George-Edwards are a Tony Coulter fave!
	11:47am Wild Neil: @ALL-how many of you all are in bands? I wonder if its more than 50%? By the way this George Edwards Group is WILD! and so is this NEXT song...
	11:49am bobdoesthings: I haven't been in a band since I was in high school .. oddly enough it was with listener Marcel. He's stayed rocking it.. I barely play anymore even as a hobby..
	11:50am Wild Neil: @Jonathan-a REALLY good eclectic show. Wow!
	11:52am steve: ha that's a great survey to take Wild Neil... i occasionally do solo stuff but never once been in a band.
	11:53am ron in S FL: Great show Jonathan, loved it!
	11:53am bobdoesthings: many thanks @JHerweg - great show! I bought two records this morning b/c of you! thanksss!!
	11:53am Mike East: Haven't been in a band for years...I'm waiting for one of my kids to take an interest in drums so we can start a family band.
	11:53am melinda: My listening has been spotty but I liked what i heard today Jonathan, thanks! Also, yes to shorts, comfort first. Except for hotpants
	11:54am Wild Neil: @Steve-just like some bands are bands that mostly musicians like (I like some of those) I hypothesize that many people in bands listen to FMU for inspiration and food for the brain. I think hotpants on women can be awesome....
	11:57am melinda: @Neil: I assume I'm probably outnumbered on the hotpants issue. The term is now dated but I like it for that reason.
	11:58am Wild Neil: I think James Brown liked 'em...he wrote a song about them...they must hurt to wear and cause undue attention in certain environments to be sure!

An underground journey through the history of psychedelic rock, modern music, shimmering noise, free jazz, punk, funk, children's records played at the wrong speed, tape cut-up, static, the composition of decomposition, and subversive spoken word.

Listener comments!
	9:02am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:02am bobdoesthings: who was that quote from in your opening? I wanna guess Robert Anton Wilson?? but I dunno..
	9:02am Wild Neil: PEACE all!
	9:02am Marcel M: The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.
	9:02am fleep: 6:03 AM in Studio City. Brrrzzzap!
	🎙 9:02am Ken From Hyde Park: I like this show in its Latin name: Blurrus Obscurus.
	9:04am BEAVO: Hey man you're on more now than before. that's cool.
	9:04am Cecile: Hi Jonathan!
	9:04am bobdoesthings: oh neat I was right! I feel cool.
	9:06am Wild Neil: Cliff is probably teaching Czechs in Prague English right now so no Cliff right now.....The Fates is pretty awesome! Its like the guitars from Brian Jonestown Massacre and vocals from...I do not know where from it comes...hey Jonathan! Hey Cecile! Hey everybody!
	9:08am Wild Neil: I meant Sunroof. Oops!
	🎙 9:09am Jherweg: Howdy Gang!!
	9:09am BEAVO: Isn't that what Trump is running on? Making the future the past.
	9:10am Gang: Zup?
	9:12am Wild Neil: @Beavo- Reshoring. en.wikipedia.org...
	9:14am Cheri Pi: Yo Jonathan
	9:14am cory: it took three shots of vodka to get me out of bed. hi all
	🎙 9:17am ĨĨkєє: I was just listening to an archive of your late Sat. fill-in. I switched over to the live stream & thought my phone was malfunctioning & was stuck in the archive. But woah, nope, you are actually really live. Either that or I really need a cup of tea.
	9:19am Wild Neil: I see "Leic" and it makes me think of Leica cameras...best in the world...
	9:21am Nick S.: Morning, Jonathan! Enjoying the set.
	9:23am Wild Neil: Golden Dawn was created by Masons...per Wikipedia...
	9:26am the Canterbury wood-elf: WB Yeats was in the Golden Dawn i think. And there was a Sarah Records band who took the name (and wrote a song about "Dyson spheres" that showed up as a B-side... a very un-Sarah kind of concept: en.wikipedia.org...)
	9:26am Rich in Washington: Good morning, Jonathan!
	9:27am Marcel M: Maybe he shaved with a sharp rock?
	9:27am bobdoesthings: ALSO - all the posters... he also parts his hair... who gave him a comb?! and gave him that idea of parting your hair?!
	9:28am Cecile: Tarzan makes no sense to me.
	9:28am sphere: greetings all
	9:28am pantz: Maybe Tarzan has Alopecia?
	9:29am Tarzan: Tarzan say, remember me fictional character. Why not give Batman some shit?
	9:29am ((Murakami Whywolf): I read an excerpt in which he finds a knife and a mirror, and (as a scion of civilised whiteness) _instinctually_ knows that he _must_ painfully scrape off his facial hair in order to look _right_.
	🎙 9:29am єki: What I don't understand is how that movie got greenlit, and even weirder, it didn't bomb. WHY DIDN'T IT BOMB? Who went to see this?!? And apparently it's not an origin story. It's like a fake sequel to a nonexistent movie or something.
	9:29am Cecile: You can! Just have 2 areas on your grill. One hot, one cooler. Get both sides browned, and then put on the cool part of the grill.
	9:32am AnAnonymousParty: "Your DJ speaks over Gas" ... cue Beavis and Butthead laughter.
	9:32am the Canterbury wood-elf: (or just leave the poor chickens alone)
	9:32am Wild Neil: @Cecile-I have a Weber grill with no cool zone...I MAKE half the coals stay on one side, and the other side empty...and grill my Italian sausage on the empty side...maybe that is what you actually meant and I mis-read? I do not brown, but I think that is personal preference (griller's choice)...it ended up browning anyway, but I lost context and am jumpin in on your post....
	9:33am ((Murakami Whywolf): I thought the movie did bomb...the commercials make it look awkward, like they know the concept is incredibly colonialist and usually very racist, but if they're _really_ careful.... Alexander Skarsgård on Colbert's show was fairly funny describing his physical training regimen for it.
	9:34am Cecile: My neighbor and her friend saw it. They're both Samuel L. Jackson fans. We went and saw Dory while they were watching that. I'm sure we had more fun.
	9:36am Cecile: Gas grill cool zone, charcoal no or less charcoal side
	9:37am Wild Neil: "the future is not the past"...interesting concept... @Cecile-oh, I see! De-colonization had some unintended consquences...in some countries that are now a mess...not reported much on the news...
	9:39am MD: Good Post Holidaze Glow to Ya'll
	9:39am JoeRay: Herwig in the AM!
	9:40am Hauswolff: This szounds like my refrigerator. I love it.
	9:42am Refrigerator repairman: Ya? You might wanna have that checked out.
	9:43am JoeRay: Do other commenters occasionally have trouble logging in with your computer/laptop? I can't comment with my laptop but I can with my iPhone!
	🎙 9:46am Jherweg: The monitor is back on PHEW, thank you LIz Berg...!
	9:46am sphere: JoeRay - laptop is fine by me. maybe you are having connectivity problems? the iPhone my be on cell and the laptop may be on Wi-Fi.
	9:47am bobdoesthings: If i opened my refrigerator and it played this Tim Coster track.. my food would spoil.
	9:55am JoeRay: Thanks sphere! I'm not sure if that's it since my laptop is on wi-fi . The login states that my password is incorrect.
	9:58am Furchick: Hey Jonathan
	🎙 9:59am Jherweg: Howdy Furchick!!
	10:00am Wild Neil: @Jonathan-did <KAEB use a Mellotron?
	10:01am bobdoesthings: patriotism is weird. I don't care for all the flag waving myself..
	10:02am Furchick: not very convincing that you are proud to be american.
	10:02am Wild Neil: We NEVER should have invaded Iraq...
	10:03am the Canterbury wood-elf: George Carlin got it right: "I could never understand ethnic or national pride. Because to me, pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth. Being Irish isn't a skill, it’s a fucking genetic accident. You wouldn't say “I’m proud to be 5’11”. I’m proud to have a predisposition for colon cancer.” So why the fuck would you be proud to be Irish, or proud to be Italian, or American or anything?"
	10:04am Marcel M: Good looks on the no shorts. I'm with you.
	10:04am Wild Neil: I am proud of our Constitution...and the concept that the law applies to everybody equally....
	10:06am Cecile: I think you should wear shorts. Heat trumps appearance. You grow old so you don't have to give a shit.
	10:06am Listener142985: Largely agree on fashion statement, but bicyclists with decent musculature get a pass on the no-shorts-over-40 diktat.
	10:06am AnAnonymousParty: It's ok, in a few years you'll opt for comfort over fashion. or at least in my to the extent my wife will let me.
	10:07am pantz: I saw Garbage Juice open up for Hep B in 1978. What a show!
	10:07am Hauswolff: My mistake earlier. I realize that I hadn't actually turned WFMU on yet and was in fact listening to my refrigerator. I love Tim Coster.
	10:07am Cecile: I don't know CWE, I think you can be proud of the specific cultural things a nation or group has created.
	10:07am Planet Tyler: I always thought shorts were gross, so I support you!
	10:07am sphere: i'm proud of the ideals that America is based on. sure there's been a lot of abuse, exploitation, and ignorant mouthing about them. but we can always return to those values and say "we're not good enough. not yet." and that is what is great about America i think.
	10:07am bobdoesthings: @marcel - you'll never guess what I'm wearing. I broke down and for the past week have been a shorts guy... I'm with @cecile - I think after recently turning 30 I just would rather be as comfortable as possible and say fuck it.. I don't like wearing shorts.. doesn't feel right.. but I also couldnt care less about that weird sense of 'identity' .. eh.. I'm not the clothes man!!
	10:09am the Canterbury wood-elf: @WildNeil Would it make sense for you to be proud of another country's constitution, though (if it was a really good one)? If you said that, it would just sound weird. I mean, it's not like you (or anyone else alive who's into it) actually wrote the US Constitution, so why the pride?
	10:09am Wild Neil: I think open toed shoes or sandals in NYC are extremely risky though...but I do love my Columbia sandals my wife got me...but I live in the sticks....I saw PIL at the Palladium during a garbage strike. Yikes! I am a nationalist, so I am more protective than proud of the USA....I think Sphere nailed it...we can ASPIRE to greatness since it is WRITTEN in our Constiution and Declaration of Independence...
	10:09am coelacanth: greetings Jonathan and obscured listeners
	10:10am glenn: oh please. the law applies to everybody equally? not a fucking chance.
	10:11am Marcel M: @BOB: Oh snap. Herschel Shortsman over here. All good it makes more sense to wear them, I'm a vain fool.
	10:13am Wild Neil: @TheCanturburyWoodElf-I don't think any other constitution in the world starts off "We The People" emphasizing that the power of the elected is on loan and with the consent of the governed....that alone makes me proud, yes...the Polish Constiution however, is a mess and NOBODY takes is seriously unless its expedient to according to somebody who would know...
	10:14am ((Murakami Whywolf): the Canterbury wood-elf: Carlin makes sense, but humans don't—at least if you don't reckon with our living with and by small tribes of relatives for most of our history, and identifying with those groups very strongly. Modern people, who often enjoy the illusion that we're independent, are less prone to it...which I prefer, but I know that this is unusual in historic terms.
	10:14am bobdoesthings: I'm still strongly opposed to sandals.. that's where I draw the line.. People on the subway with half an inch of rubber between them and the ground. I do not understand that.
	10:14am coelacanth: i 100% agree with wood elf (& George Carlin). if there is anything the founders had to be proud of, the people of today sure's hell don't deserve a piece of that pride. they did nothing to deserve to feel pride.
	10:15am ((Murakami Whywolf): Whenever I hear someone say 'Why should I be ashamed of things America did one hundred and fifty years ago?' I ask 'Are you proud of anything America did back then?'.
	10:16am Wild Neil: Recent achievements of US: 1. Winning WWII-that's a pretty big one... 2. Helping John Paul II stop the Cold War... 3. Winning the Korean War...sort of...
	10:17am coelacanth: ...and i'm not so insecure with myself to be overheated on a hot day for concern over what other people might think. i don't give a fuck.
	10:18am Elderbush: Right on, Coelacanth.
	10:19am Furchick: .. WWII. I think there may have been some other countries involved in that.
	10:19am Cecile: Murakami - feeling emotions for something outside oneself is a good thing for a human. But when this precious vulnerability is preyed on by church, state, whatever, it's an awful thing to see.
	10:20am the Canterbury wood-elf: @WildNeil It's not about the value of the US Constitution in relation to any others, it's about the idea of people feeling "pride" in things they had no part in creating. If you heard someone from Iceland say they were proud of the US Constitution, or an American with no Danish background say they were proud of Denmark's constitution (or Iggy Pop saying he was proud of "Astral Weeks"), wouldn't that strike you as a bit odd?
	🎙 10:20am Jherweg: I love a spirited debate....
	10:20am glenn: yeah, the u.s. came late to the w.w.ii game, as i recall.
	10:20am Wild Neil: This JFK is pretty gnarly!
	10:21am Marcel M: Its funny cuz people get pissed when I don't wear shorts. They want me to conform to their standards. OH SNAP I TOPSEY TURVIED THAT SHIT ! YE OLDE SWITCHAROO
	10:22am Bryan Chandler: Just curious, can you please talk about the music as opposed to comments about your clothes?
	10:22am Marcel M: @Bryan: Good music. Happy?
	10:22am coelacanth: ...and the country today is very different than during ww2. people are so weak and spoiled now that we didn't have the good sense to overthrow the bush family from government.
	10:23am Cecile: I just hate sweating so much. So it's dresses and sandals for me, but Minneapolis ain't New York.
	10:23am Bryan Chandler: Music is great, just want to know more...
	10:24am Wild Neil: @Canterbury-I see what you are saying, but I disagree with your premise. I SUBSCRIBE to the US Consitution, and am glad it exists and more elected officials FOLLOW it...like they took an OATH to, just like I did when I joined the USAF. @Coelacanth-Bush family is an evil globalist and they must go away...
	10:24am Bryan Chandler: The music is great, but want to know more about the artists/musicians.
	10:25am coelacanth: yes, actually the u.s. had no intention to help in the world war...aside from selling good to the nazis. we only got into it when the attack was to us directly.
	10:25am Cecile: Jonathan, at least get yourself some perforated leather shoes and some nice linen blend or seersucker trousers. Stay cool!
	10:25am Furchick: That's Jonathan's job. JONATHAN... Bryan wants you.
	10:25am Chlamydio: I decide what to wear based on the music I'm listening to.
	10:26am Marcel M: @Chlamydio: So what does Victor Alzina yield?
	10:28am Chlamydio: Jumpsuit. Linen blend.
	10:28am Furchick: When Daniel Higgs plays I wanna get a tattoo .. not that I have any.
	10:28am coelacanth: well, Neil, that's what kills me about the people of this country though...that we'd let that shit go down. the bush family has been in power since reagan and still is. - and we will pay for that forever.
	10:29am Cecile: Niiiiice.
	10:29am tooplin: on a hot day like today I usually just wear concrete.
	10:29am Bryan Chandler: Well anyways, thanks for the sounds...not sure what these comments have to do with the music. Ce Le Vie...
	10:30am Marcel M: @Bryan: We are just hanging out and chatting. The music speaks for itself.
	10:31am the Canterbury wood-elf: what was my premise?
	10:31am Furchick: loving this music
	10:31am tooplin: what gauge strings he using?
	10:33am Marcel M: @Tooplin: Seems like a custom set. Nickle coated. Do I hear a hex core? I'd guess around .50 - .11. Plain G.
	10:33am Wild Neil: @Coelacanth-oh, the Bush FAMILY goes back much much further than that...look at HW's father for instance....it kills me too dude...we are all like sheep chasing our next mortgage payment and absorbed in watching American Idol hoping we can make our next payment not giving a flying fig about who is actually in power...Reagan could not have been candidate without establishment Bush as his running mate....@Canturbury-I assume your premise is that you can only be proud of what you create, not what others create. Am I right?
	10:35am sphere: That electronic handclap is from a sample of someone with very big hands.
	10:35am Wild Neil: I feel like I am having a political discussion in a noisy nightclub...
	10:35am Cecile: Ok, this isn't the Bunnymen song is it?
	10:36am tooplin: @sphere: I believe it's the LP Big Hand.
	10:36am bobdoesthings: 112 comments!!
	10:37am Cecile: Bryan, I usually ask the DJ flat out about bands, and the board will chime in.
	10:37am JP from KC: Hey e'rybody! I say less politics, more shorts! How about this disturbing trend of men wearing shorts that end above the knee?!
	10:38am coelacanth: wasn't there a movie made about Jonathan Herweg?...called "firestarter"?
	10:38am tooplin: Just the lightest touch of vocal fry. Love it.
	10:38am Marcel M: Men are so repressed, LET THEM WEAR SHORTZ
	10:38am JP from KC: ...Like, really REALLY high above the knee...
	10:39am Furchick: how about those shorts that end above the knee, but the waist is below the butt.
	10:40am Wild Neil: I think short shorts on men are plain wrong...
	10:40am Cecile: Yes! And then there was 1000 leaves where they took on each other's personalities. Well, at least. Lee, Kim and Steve should get back together. Thurston ain't gonna happen and I'm the least interested in him.
	10:41am Marcel M: @JH: Only Bryan wants to hear about the music. We're cool.
	10:41am coelacanth: i don't have to consider if i'm secure enough to wear high above the knee shorts, because i think it'd be uncomfortable!
	10:41am bobdoesthings: HERE HERE! Jonathan!
	10:41am Cecile: Which is weird because I was enthralled by him for years.
	10:41am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Neil Yeh, i suppose that's a good summary of Carlin's premise that i was adopting. And i kind of get that people can feel proud of their friends' and family members' achievements, so what you're expressing is a kind of extrapolation of that to a nation-sized family. But personally i think all forms of pride are probably better dropped. Even without buying into the underlying theology, i can see why it sits alongside sloth and gluttony as one of the "seven deadly sins". Just another obstacle to clarity.
	10:42am tooplin: @Marcel: Modern feminism has stripped men of 60% of the denim they once had.
	10:42am sphere: btw, it is a very good show, Jonathan. i like your style. :)
	10:42am Marcel M: @Tooplin: I for one am nostalgic for the 2nd wave.
	10:43am Furchick: probably spearheaded by companies maximizing profit margins with less fabric
	10:43am bobdoesthings: I want dem shorts that go to your armpits and fall high mid thigh
	🎙 10:43am Jherweg: Mom shorts....
	10:43am sphere: how can we forget the denim coveralls a la "Come on Eileen"?
	10:44am Cecile: I miss the old NBA hot pants uniforms. Sorry for the objectification.
	10:44am Wild Neil: Hey, I asked the Mellotron question...and it went unanswered....I tried to engage then got interested in Politics. @Canturbury-you raise an interesting point about pride! And as a nationalist, its not so much about PRIDE its about protecting a way of life...just like Poles in Poland want to preserve their relatively monolithic culture....coveralls are good for projects around the house in that they protect my chest from splinters and random impacts with stuff...they are like a layer of armor for me...
	10:44am Furchick: "Cool for cats" by UK Squeeze might have started the short shorts trend
	10:45am Furchick: talking about music and shorts
	10:45am tooplin: Talk about a filter sweep!
	10:46am bobdoesthings: ya'll think that wearing sandals is like wearing shorts for your feet?
	10:47am coelacanth: Furchick, i'm sure that's why levis suck now. even the "traditional" styles "505","501" "550"? are "low rise" comparatively. - even though they're supposedly the same style they always were. it's greed and it's bullshit.
	10:47am Cecile: I sure as hell don't. But I do need. A pedicure.
	10:47am Mike East: my job requires me to wear shorts and sandals cuz they won't turn the goddamn air on. Good morning all.
	10:47am Furchick: In Australia we have many men wearing short shorts with thongs (flip flops) and wifebeaters with ACDC printed on. Thats a good look. with a mullet.
	10:48am Furchick: coel, that's the cut off mullet head shorts
	10:48am Rev. Turnip Druid: sup.
	10:48am JP from KC: Which reminds me, Angus Young is the only exception to the short-shorts on men rule. He's earned it.
	10:49am Furchick: Ugh... ACDC from my town.... bogans yobbos dickheads.....
	10:50am Cecile: Furchick, ha! That's what dudes were wearing down there in the mid 70s when I lived there.
	10:50am Furchick: good night fellas
	10:50am coelacanth: i went out with someone who would always smile and say she likes it when we saw some guys with mullets. i would not have done it but i asked her "do want me to make it a mullet?" she said "NOT ON YOU!"
	10:50am Furchick: they still do Cecile
	10:52am Cecile: I'm not a fella, but good night!
	10:52am Marcel M: Great show, Jonathan. Enjoying. (while sweating in my jeans).
	10:53am coelacanth: actually shorts above the knee were the only shorts (at least in the us) until...the 80?
	10:53am Cecile: I like their music, but wouldn't want to meet them.
	🎙 10:53am Jherweg: thanks, not a lot of songs with words.....
	10:54am Marcel M: I remember when I was in middle school everyone wore the ones that came to the ankles and wore them bellow the butt.
	10:55am coelacanth: ...and i don't wear sandals, except on my own front porch. just not practical; but i have no fashion-based bigotry about it in public.
	10:55am Cecile: I think It started with Michael Jordan wanting Bulls trunks that fit over his lucky UNC trunks. True story.
	10:56am coelacanth: by the way Marcel, i guess i saw you perform at snugs!
	10:56am Marcel M: @Coel: Woah, really? Cool! That was a fun show! You live up there?
	10:57am bobdoesthings: <3 snugs harbor!
	10:59am coelacanth: i kept saying i knew "rivercult" from somewhere; then remembered and told a friend "oh, yeah, i bought the ep on bandcamp"....i still didn't remember that it was YOUR band! 'SORRY! i would've said hi.
	11:00am coelacanth: ...yeah, i live here. i'm friends with it's not night it's space; and that's my main hang out.
	11:00am Marcel M: All good! I used to play up there with INNIS all the time with my last band and will be up with RC a lot more. I'm good friends with those guys. We will be at Snug's again Aug 19 and The Anchor in Kingston on Aug 20.
	11:00am Marcel M: Def. say whats up next time
	11:00am Wild Neil: I think sandals are more practical than flip flops...flip flops are beach only and maybe backyard or dash to the car across hot blacktop for me....sandals rule my summer...
	11:01am tooplin: @all: ToeShoes
	11:03am coelacanth: i absolutely will Marcel. i got fairly drunk really fast - otherwise it might've dawned on me. what was your old band name? there's a very good chance i saw you then too!
	11:03am Wild Neil: I am ANTI toe shoes for sure, but toesocks are cute on women...but not dudes....
	11:03am bobdoesthings: foot gloves?
	11:04am Marcel M: @Coel: Eidetic Seeing
	11:05am tooplin: @BOB: YOU GOT IT
	11:06am Marcel M: Boris performing PINK is probably mine.
	11:06am danjoseph: I'm psyched to see Guided By Voices and Protomartyr this Saturday at South Street Seaport....

	🎙 11:07am osvi: Great to hear from ya this morning, Jonathan Herweg!
	11:08am coelacanth: Marcel - maybe not...but i may've been drunk for that too!
	11:08am Marcel M: @Coel: Haha
	11:09am tooplin: How do you think the group is dressed during this recording?
	11:09am Cecile: GBV are touring again?
	11:09am Marcel M: @tooplin: Oh shit, bringing it totally full circle.
	🎙 11:10am Jherweg: Apparently the original recording of this was pressed on a lathe in a south american cocaine factory,,,,,how fucking high were these dudes?
	11:11am coelacanth: (by the way you guys were Awesome)
	11:12am bobdoesthings: @tooplin - moondresses with foot gloves and little toe shoes.
	11:12am Marcel M: Thanks Coel! We have a live set airing on Chris M's show tomorrow :-)
	11:12am Marcel M: They must have been mixing the coke with some downers though. Shit is tripped out.
	11:13am Wild Neil: This Portuguese (Brazilian??) music is like free Jazz...pretty cool....echos of King Crimson jams in there.....
	11:14am tooplin: @bob: footglove/moonshoes - business on the top, Party on the back.
	11:15am Mike East: As I type, I'm actually working on the backline order for the seaport show this weekend. GBV is bringing their own, though. Another gig I'd like to be the tech on, but alas, I get stuck in the office.
	11:15am bobdoesthings: @tooplin - tri cornered hat? or ..no?
	11:16am Cecile: Marcel, AWESOME!
	11:16am Wild Neil: @Mike East-what is GBV?
	11:17am tooplin: @Bob: funnily enough I'm having trouble finding ANY pictures of Tom Ellard with a hat on!
	11:17am Wild Neil: OH Guided by Voices...never mind!
	11:19am Cecile: Ok, so that "last show" was a lie? Ugh.
	11:20am Cecile: Maybe you can be the beer coordinator, Mike?
	11:21am Nate K: You again!
	11:22am Mike East: @Cecile - I feel like that job wouldn't be as fun as it sounds
	11:22am Mike East: I see a lot of these bands' hospitality riders and I think about the people that are in charge of taking care of that shit...makes me glad I'm not them.
	11:22am Cecile: Yeah, you'd be way too busy!
	11:27am Cecile: This is sweeet
	11:28am Marcel M: heading to work bye all, thanks Jonathan.
	11:29am bobdoesthings: bye marcel
	11:32am Cecile: Bye Marcel!
	11:34am bobdoesthings: You're killing it @JH
	11:34am coelacanth: see ya Marcel. i'm out too. Thanks Jonathan. Excellent program! tchau
	11:34am rakes: Oh no, love this show but only tuned in during last song. Encore?
	11:37am Wild Neil: @Jonathan-I enjoyed the show immensely! You did not insult me nor tell me to shut up even ONCE due to my divergent political views... Thank you!
	11:37am Rich in Washington: the same thing happened to me when I was temporarily show-less; I ended up logging more hours as a sub for other people.
	🎙 11:39am Jherweg: Yeah it's the freedom to do free form radio when you want total freedom!!
	11:39am Mike East: Really cool show, Jonathan.
	11:41am Wild Neil: @Jhwerweg"Yeah it's the freedom to do free form radio when you want total freedom!! " Yeah, words to live by. Even though you probably disagreed with me you did not lash out. Thanks!
	11:43am bobdoesthings: jaw just hit the floor... this is great!!! (Hypertrain)
	11:43am steve: i like your style JH! sorry to say never caught the show before, i'll definitely be digging through your archives.
	11:44am Cecile: George-Edwards are a Tony Coulter fave!
	11:47am Wild Neil: @ALL-how many of you all are in bands? I wonder if its more than 50%? By the way this George Edwards Group is WILD! and so is this NEXT song...
	11:49am bobdoesthings: I haven't been in a band since I was in high school .. oddly enough it was with listener Marcel. He's stayed rocking it.. I barely play anymore even as a hobby..
	11:50am Wild Neil: @Jonathan-a REALLY good eclectic show. Wow!
	11:52am steve: ha that's a great survey to take Wild Neil... i occasionally do solo stuff but never once been in a band.
	11:53am ron in S FL: Great show Jonathan, loved it!
	11:53am bobdoesthings: many thanks @JHerweg - great show! I bought two records this morning b/c of you! thanksss!!
	11:53am Mike East: Haven't been in a band for years...I'm waiting for one of my kids to take an interest in drums so we can start a family band.
	11:53am melinda: My listening has been spotty but I liked what i heard today Jonathan, thanks! Also, yes to shorts, comfort first. Except for hotpants
	11:54am Wild Neil: @Steve-just like some bands are bands that mostly musicians like (I like some of those) I hypothesize that many people in bands listen to FMU for inspiration and food for the brain. I think hotpants on women can be awesome....
	11:57am melinda: @Neil: I assume I'm probably outnumbered on the hotpants issue. The term is now dated but I like it for that reason.
	11:58am Wild Neil: I think James Brown liked 'em...he wrote a song about them...they must hurt to wear and cause undue attention in certain environments to be sure!
