	🧩 3:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Loons, eh? This can be either waterfowl or political debate.
	3:31pm Wild Neil: Fire!Orchestra won some Jazz awards. They are REALLY heavy. WOW. Jazz is even better than Prog rock in a lot of ways, it is so...open to interpretation....I would say Jazz is much much bigger than prog rock actually...I have officially lost my prog rock blinders today....
	3:34pm northguineahills: I approve of anything Mats Gustafsson is involved in.
	3:36pm fred: When I first saw Fire!, some 4+ years ago, it was a trio. Looks like that fire spread
	3:39pm Wild Neil: This show is...LARGER than LIFE today. Wow. Its cool!
	3:39pm Scott Williams: this show has so far suffered under major technical challenges! thanks to Jeff Moore for all the fixees
	3:41pm geezerette: Oscar the Grouch goes metal. Must be the braces on his teeth.
	3:42pm Cecile: hola!
	3:43pm Scott Williams: hola y wilkommen!
	3:43pm Wild Neil: I feel like I am at a show at Wetlands for some reason...its odd, like Deja Vu sort of...
	3:45pm Cecile: What WFMU beef? Wait. I don't want to know.
	3:45pm Cecile: Also, Scott, I think "Loon Party" is a great name for a premium.
	3:46pm Scott Williams: Cecile, ya missed the big transition!
	3:47pm Cecile: Ah. I'll have to listen to it later.
	3:48pm Cecile: Okay, now give me the details. The show isn't up, but is Jim leaving?
	3:49pm Cecile: I ordered this Eurythmics once but they sent me a Remy Shand CD by mistake. I never got around to reordering it.
	3:49pm Scott Williams: Todd went long
	3:50pm Cecile: Oh.
	3:53pm Polyus: Jazz Loon: https://m.soundcloud.com/dbalatero/jazz-loon-all-tracks-at-once
	3:57pm khd: sick take
	3:59pm cee: great track (geiger counter/radioactivity)
	4:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: That loon was saying hi buddy. HI BUDDY!
	🧩 4:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Every DJ should have a bird mascot bed music interlude. It'd be fun to see who picks what.
	4:03pm JakeGould: Are loons like seagulls? Or like goons?
	4:04pm Wild Neil: Loons look a lot like ducks, but much prettier.
	4:05pm Dean: The Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus).
	4:09pm Cecile: slow 'n' bulbous
	4:14pm Scott Williams: they look like snobbish ducks, thin beaks always pointed up. very pretty, all black
	4:17pm Greg from ZONE 5: And spooky red eyes.
	4:20pm JakeGould: Nice loons!
	4:21pm steve: flanger!
	🧩 4:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: The olds: Extolling the virtues of the mighty lake-dwelling loons The youngs: Finding the Swadloon Pokémon character
	4:28pm JakeGould: And all those youngsters abandoning their Neko Atsume and Tamagotchi and grandparents. For shame.
	4:30pm Wild Neil: The Dead! Bird Song that is...cool! The Dead had major Jazz influences...
	4:30pm Dean: OED attributes "You're as crazy as a loon" to Faulkner, and explains its significance "in reference to [the bird's] actions in escaping from danger and its wild cry." I always kinda assumed the figure of speech was also a shortened version of "lunatic," but then that would be redundant.
	4:38pm Cliff in Prague: Awwww jeez, even here there's talk of Pokemon, I can't get away from it
	4:40pm northguineahills: Oh god, I love this Roy Montgomery album!
	4:41pm JakeGould: Prague must be filled with dozens of delicious Pokemon. And so cheap!
	4:41pm Dave: Heeeeeeeeeeeedy!
	4:42pm Dave: I think I cannot find WFMU
	4:42pm JP from KC: Cliff! How's Prague?
	4:42pm Cliff in Prague: Yes, but beer is cheaper than Pokemon here
	4:43pm Dave: That is better for sure
	4:43pm Dave: Scott I love ur show
	4:44pm Cliff in Prague: JP from KC, I can see this thing right outside my bedroom window: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:46pm Scott Williams: thanks Dave! Hey, can anyone explain to me what's going on with Pokemon alla'sudden? I was playing with birds, guess I missed something?
	4:47pm Cliff in Prague: Scott, all I know is it's all the rage among the cellphone-obsessed Millenials, and whatever it is it's extremely time-consuming!
	4:48pm Mike tp: ♥♥♥
	4:49pm steve: i think its an 'augmented reality' Pokemon game... where you open up an app on your phone which has access to your phone's camera + camera view, and you see on your phone Pokemon characters placed into your surroundings based on where you are.
	4:50pm Cliff in Prague: See also: www.cartelpress.com... steve: A few people in my course were talking about that, there's a lot of graffiti in Prague and apparently some of the tags now are Pokemon-related (oyyyyy)
	4:51pm Cecile: I have a hard enough time not tripping over my own feet. Also Pokémon are kind of creepy.
	4:52pm Dean: My 10YO is on/off over Pokemon, but the news yesterday about a gamer finding a body in a river in Wisconsin got him pretty excited.
	4:54pm Scott Williams: thanks Steve - wow, sooo... there will be train tracks and cliffs and stuff
	4:54pm geezerette: Cliff! Czech please!
	4:55pm Cliff in Prague: geezerette, Czech yo'self befo' U Wrzech yo'self ;)
	4:57pm geezerette: haha :D
	4:58pm steve: with the pokey and the man...
	4:58pm Michael 98145: This world has gone even more nuts. I can't wait for the app that places Ron Jeremy into your surroundings.
	5:00pm steve: its a great idea for a game but yes, it will probably result in many deaths and injuries
	5:01pm geezerette: Pokemon? Still? I know guys in their mid-twenties who were completely obsessed when they were ten. I thought that was over now! Totally the gateway to gaming addiction.
	5:02pm Michael 98145: My Little Pony appears on the bridge above your head
	5:03pm geezerette: !
	5:03pm Carmichael: This Cortex is quite cerebral ...
	5:03pm steve: geezerette - its a relatively new idea for a game, that could use any license, franchise, toy, movie, tv show, etc... they just took the tech and connected it to an existing brand with extremely high name recognition (sorry i do product design for a living)
	5:04pm Jeff: Yeah, apparently this new craze which has all the kids wandering into traffic even more than usual is pretty much just Ingress... but with Pokémonses in it.
	5:05pm Michael 98145: Can Pia Zadora be far behind?
	5:06pm Cliff in Prague: This funk jam is tight
	5:06pm Michael 98145: liking this
	5:08pm geezerette: haha,don't apologize! Didn't realize there was a zombie afterlife even for Pokemon but really, why wouldn't there be? All Pop /Commercial everything is swirling in an incorporeal gyre like plastic in the ocean. How much more Dada will things get?
	5:10pm geezerette: Also digging the jams.
	5:11pm JakeGould: The deal with "Pokemon Go!" Is you have to go to specific physical locations, open up the app and then augmented reality happens via your cell phone camera so you can "capture" Pokemon in the real world. It's like geolocation geocaching plus augmented reality plus a major brand.
	5:11pm Michael 98145: sort of like Philip K Dick plus Ray Bradbury
	5:12pm Carmichael: Pretty soon, I would need an app just to get something out of the refrigerator.
	5:12pm Cliff in Prague: Social reality & technology turning into a Philip K. Dick novel, now that's a scary thought!
	5:13pm Michael 98145: i think it's happening
	5:13pm JakeGould: I'm sure someone at Nintendo is in talks with marketing agencies on how this new game can be used to get the lumpenproletariat to buy soda and crap this way.
	5:13pm Cecile: or some evil trans-reality peanut butter cup commercial
	5:14pm Ike: @Carm, that'll be the app-controlled robot that brings you beer. So that's something to look forward to.
	5:14pm Cliff in Prague: Well at least they have peanut butter cups in the other trans-realities, that's somewhat comforting
	5:15pm JakeGould: And the app will augment your ugly spouse to make them look like a sexy beast.
	5:15pm Cecile: I think altered/augmented reality is nothing new. PKD just wrote it down. His mistake was not trademarking everything. Dumbass. He should have predicted cross-platform marketing.
	🧩 5:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'm just going to wait for Pokémon Go! The Movie. I mean, when that movie is available on an app....not going to an actual theater for it.
	5:15pm Michael 98145: gives a whole new meaning to Comin' From All Ends
	5:15pm geezerette: Jake thanks for description. Why wouldn't that be a winner? Wow,think I'll start re-reading Huxley etc.
	5:15pm Marcel M: Yo Scott!
	5:16pm TDK60: I need an application with accompanying special eyeglasses to block out the word 'app' from my vision.
	5:16pm geezerette: Cecile,yeah!
	5:18pm geezerette: This sounds so much like Lou Reed.
	5:18pm Scott Williams: Hey Marcel!
	5:18pm Michael 98145: @TDK60, sort of like this: www.huffingtonpost.com...
	5:18pm Cliff in Prague: Cecile, how about you get zapped in the face by a pink laser beam that reveals the Gnostic truths underlying reality, and then see how much you care about using cross-platform marketing to sell peanut butter cups
	🧩 5:19pm Rev. Turnip Druid: PEEPLE. Just popped in for a silent second: HEADPHONES DIED TODAY. DIED DIED DEAD DIED. NO PHONES.
	🧩 5:19pm Rev. Turnip Druid: But holy crap, that Daniel Menche gig looks flipping wonderful.
	5:20pm Marcel M: Oh man I'd like that snake people one.
	5:20pm Cecile: the peanut butter cup reference was "you got reality in my virtual reality! No! You got virtual reality in my reality"
	5:20pm geezerette: hahaha
	5:21pm Scott Williams: Rev!! Welcome back bud. there will be a silent ceremony for your cans. yea to the Menche gig - if all goes accordingly, he'll be here too
	5:21pm Cliff in Prague: Hahaha, totally missed that :D
	5:22pm Cecile: keep up, people!
	5:23pm geezerette: :DDDDD
	5:23pm Cliff in Prague: Valve has an Easter egg in their VR demo "The Lab" where you can enter a photogrammetric scan of their original VR demo room, and then if you put on the VR goggles in that room, it takes you to their 2nd VR demo room.....so it's VR in VR in VR
	5:24pm Scott Williams: GET OUTTA MY DREAM!
	5:25pm geezerette: No kidding I actually worry about a devolving loss of imagination in our species.
	5:26pm V Priceless: Ayers, baby!
	5:27pm Marcel M: Fuck... I didn't realize my registration was expired... got 2 tix in the mail that must have blown off my van :-(
	5:28pm TDK60: Is Daniel Menche to play Monty Arena, Scott?
	5:28pm Michael 98145: we have chosen to outsource the imagination
	5:28pm geezerette: Prefer an active imagination to a passive one. Ayers perfect! Scott's on top of it.
	5:28pm Marcel M: And renewing is 187.00... Sweet!
	🧩 5:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Quoting Amy from Futurama: "It feels just like I'm playing virtual reality Skeeball!"
	5:29pm geezerette: Michael,I never got that ballot!
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Ayers a time & a place for everything...
	5:31pm geezerette: RevRab! :D
	5:31pm Carmichael: Laugh away, alls. Guess no one got my "cerebral cortex" joke @5:03 ....
	5:32pm dale: i thought telly savalas was in here somewhere.
	5:32pm Cecile: Oh, I got it all right, Carm. ;)
	5:33pm Scott Williams: daaaaaamn Marcel! very sorry to hear that
	5:34pm Michael 98145: @geezerette, redistricting made your ballot unnecessary
	5:35pm dale: when i was a wee one i would buy just for the island or transatlantic label. not always a hit but such good stuff was to be had.
	5:41pm ines: tom ze <3
	5:43pm Scott Williams: no song makes me happier than "Doi" - NO SONG!
	5:45pm TDK60: Oh yes, Fabio's premium CD is very good.
	5:45pm geezerette: Great set Scott!
	5:49pm Michael 98145: the robo translator sez : How Beautifully
	5:52pm Cliff in Prague: I wish I'd brought my premium CDs with me, I left behind so much stuff in the US :(
	5:53pm geezerette: Did you store it?
	5:54pm Cliff in Prague: Yep, everything's either at my sister's or my friend's house, but it'll be expensive to ship stuff here
	5:56pm geezerette: Hmmmm...
	5:56pm People Like Us: this reminds me of that Joseph Beuys song
	5:57pm hendrix wolfbat: love your show!
	5:57pm Mr. Lowry: Scott plays Scott.
	5:58pm Michael 98145: thanks, DJ Scott
	5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This Bowie feller. Wasn't too bad.
	5:59pm Cliff in Prague: Thank you Scott! Pleasant VR dreams
	5:59pm oks: thank you Scott! great show!!!
	5:59pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Scott!
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes TY Mr.SW.
	6:00pm geezerette: There must be a lot of start ups in Prague... Great show Scott!!!
	6:01pm People Like Us: thankeee
	12:52pm 23 Wolves: Nothing better than WARNING!!!

	5:01pm geezerette: Pokemon? Still? I know guys in their mid-twenties who were completely obsessed when they were ten. I thought that was over now! Totally the gateway to gaming addiction.
	5:02pm Michael 98145: My Little Pony appears on the bridge above your head
	5:03pm geezerette: !
	5:03pm Carmichael: This Cortex is quite cerebral ...
	5:03pm steve: geezerette - its a relatively new idea for a game, that could use any license, franchise, toy, movie, tv show, etc... they just took the tech and connected it to an existing brand with extremely high name recognition (sorry i do product design for a living)
	5:04pm Jeff: Yeah, apparently this new craze which has all the kids wandering into traffic even more than usual is pretty much just Ingress... but with Pokémonses in it.
	5:05pm Michael 98145: Can Pia Zadora be far behind?
	5:06pm Cliff in Prague: This funk jam is tight
	5:06pm Michael 98145: liking this
	5:08pm geezerette: haha,don't apologize! Didn't realize there was a zombie afterlife even for Pokemon but really, why wouldn't there be? All Pop /Commercial everything is swirling in an incorporeal gyre like plastic in the ocean. How much more Dada will things get?
	5:10pm geezerette: Also digging the jams.
	5:11pm JakeGould: The deal with "Pokemon Go!" Is you have to go to specific physical locations, open up the app and then augmented reality happens via your cell phone camera so you can "capture" Pokemon in the real world. It's like geolocation geocaching plus augmented reality plus a major brand.
	5:11pm Michael 98145: sort of like Philip K Dick plus Ray Bradbury
	5:12pm Carmichael: Pretty soon, I would need an app just to get something out of the refrigerator.
	5:12pm Cliff in Prague: Social reality & technology turning into a Philip K. Dick novel, now that's a scary thought!
	5:13pm Michael 98145: i think it's happening
	5:13pm JakeGould: I'm sure someone at Nintendo is in talks with marketing agencies on how this new game can be used to get the lumpenproletariat to buy soda and crap this way.
	5:13pm Cecile: or some evil trans-reality peanut butter cup commercial
	5:14pm Ike: @Carm, that'll be the app-controlled robot that brings you beer. So that's something to look forward to.
	5:14pm Cliff in Prague: Well at least they have peanut butter cups in the other trans-realities, that's somewhat comforting
	5:15pm JakeGould: And the app will augment your ugly spouse to make them look like a sexy beast.
	5:15pm Cecile: I think altered/augmented reality is nothing new. PKD just wrote it down. His mistake was not trademarking everything. Dumbass. He should have predicted cross-platform marketing.
	🧩 5:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'm just going to wait for Pokémon Go! The Movie. I mean, when that movie is available on an app....not going to an actual theater for it.
	5:15pm Michael 98145: gives a whole new meaning to Comin' From All Ends
	5:15pm geezerette: Jake thanks for description. Why wouldn't that be a winner? Wow,think I'll start re-reading Huxley etc.
	5:15pm Marcel M: Yo Scott!
	5:16pm TDK60: I need an application with accompanying special eyeglasses to block out the word 'app' from my vision.
	5:16pm geezerette: Cecile,yeah!
	5:18pm geezerette: This sounds so much like Lou Reed.
	5:18pm Scott Williams: Hey Marcel!
	5:18pm Michael 98145: @TDK60, sort of like this: www.huffingtonpost.com...
	5:18pm Cliff in Prague: Cecile, how about you get zapped in the face by a pink laser beam that reveals the Gnostic truths underlying reality, and then see how much you care about using cross-platform marketing to sell peanut butter cups
	🧩 5:19pm Rev. Turnip Druid: PEEPLE. Just popped in for a silent second: HEADPHONES DIED TODAY. DIED DIED DEAD DIED. NO PHONES.
	🧩 5:19pm Rev. Turnip Druid: But holy crap, that Daniel Menche gig looks flipping wonderful.
	5:20pm Marcel M: Oh man I'd like that snake people one.
	5:20pm Cecile: the peanut butter cup reference was "you got reality in my virtual reality! No! You got virtual reality in my reality"
	5:20pm geezerette: hahaha
	5:21pm Scott Williams: Rev!! Welcome back bud. there will be a silent ceremony for your cans. yea to the Menche gig - if all goes accordingly, he'll be here too
	5:21pm Cliff in Prague: Hahaha, totally missed that :D
	5:22pm Cecile: keep up, people!
	5:23pm geezerette: :DDDDD
	5:23pm Cliff in Prague: Valve has an Easter egg in their VR demo "The Lab" where you can enter a photogrammetric scan of their original VR demo room, and then if you put on the VR goggles in that room, it takes you to their 2nd VR demo room.....so it's VR in VR in VR
	5:24pm Scott Williams: GET OUTTA MY DREAM!
	5:25pm geezerette: No kidding I actually worry about a devolving loss of imagination in our species.
	5:26pm V Priceless: Ayers, baby!
	5:27pm Marcel M: Fuck... I didn't realize my registration was expired... got 2 tix in the mail that must have blown off my van :-(
	5:28pm TDK60: Is Daniel Menche to play Monty Arena, Scott?
	5:28pm Michael 98145: we have chosen to outsource the imagination
	5:28pm geezerette: Prefer an active imagination to a passive one. Ayers perfect! Scott's on top of it.
	5:28pm Marcel M: And renewing is 187.00... Sweet!
	🧩 5:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Quoting Amy from Futurama: "It feels just like I'm playing virtual reality Skeeball!"
	5:29pm geezerette: Michael,I never got that ballot!
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Ayers a time & a place for everything...
	5:31pm geezerette: RevRab! :D
	5:31pm Carmichael: Laugh away, alls. Guess no one got my "cerebral cortex" joke @5:03 ....
	5:32pm dale: i thought telly savalas was in here somewhere.
	5:32pm Cecile: Oh, I got it all right, Carm. ;)
	5:33pm Scott Williams: daaaaaamn Marcel! very sorry to hear that
	5:34pm Michael 98145: @geezerette, redistricting made your ballot unnecessary
	5:35pm dale: when i was a wee one i would buy just for the island or transatlantic label. not always a hit but such good stuff was to be had.
	5:41pm ines: tom ze <3
	5:43pm Scott Williams: no song makes me happier than "Doi" - NO SONG!
	5:45pm TDK60: Oh yes, Fabio's premium CD is very good.
	5:45pm geezerette: Great set Scott!
	5:49pm Michael 98145: the robo translator sez : How Beautifully
	5:52pm Cliff in Prague: I wish I'd brought my premium CDs with me, I left behind so much stuff in the US :(
	5:53pm geezerette: Did you store it?
	5:54pm Cliff in Prague: Yep, everything's either at my sister's or my friend's house, but it'll be expensive to ship stuff here
	5:56pm geezerette: Hmmmm...
	5:56pm People Like Us: this reminds me of that Joseph Beuys song
	5:57pm hendrix wolfbat: love your show!
	5:57pm Mr. Lowry: Scott plays Scott.
	5:58pm Michael 98145: thanks, DJ Scott
	5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This Bowie feller. Wasn't too bad.
