	3:24pm Chris from DC: Clouds here, but Saturday driving across PA it was gigantic on the horizon. Amazing.

	3:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GeorgeClinon to EddieHazel: 'Play like your mama just died.'
	3:27pm JakeGould: Hey! Silver lining to all of this: I guess all of those "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters are going away, right? Right? Right!?!
	3:27pm Cecile: UGH. Great Funkadelic track, though.
	3:28pm Cecile: UGH. Great Funkadelic track, though. This sounds like the original grungy vinyl.
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (*ClinTon...I flinched @ that name...)
	3:28pm ?: Excellent art on the playlist page!
	3:30pm Cecile: I just flinched at you flinching, RevRab.
	🧩 3:30pm Matt from Springfield: I'm also feeling melancholy at Leonard Cohen's departure. And Leon Russell too, just yesterday.
	3:30pm deadBear: WHAT?!?! Osho made music? No label... is this vinyl?
	3:34pm P-90: Leon Russell!? Hadn't heard about him...arghhh...
	🧩 3:35pm Matt from Springfield: Sadly true, P-90. He cancelled scheduled shows because of his heart attack, now I missed the chance to see him. (Which reminds me, see artists and musicians while you can! You never know when...)
	3:39pm Scott Williams: @deadBear, he sure did, mostly under his name Deuter: www.discogs.com...
	3:39pm Polyus: Meditating so hard I forgot I am supposed to be working.
	3:39pm melinda: Hi everyone
	🧩 3:41pm Matt from Springfield: Hello melinda! ("Hello Melinda, Goodbye" if you're the Five Man Electrical Band)
	3:41pm Parq: Jake G @ 3:27 - Thanks for the first smile I've had about this shit all week.
	3:46pm Linda Lee: you're savin my mood today Scott! thank you!
	3:47pm Linda Lee: love the artwork!
	3:47pm melinda: @Matt: is that a real song? Have to look it up
	3:47pm Scott Williams: thank you Linda! this is saving mine too
	3:49pm Scott Williams: Artwork by my 11-yr old daughter, done with her eyes shut. she nailed it: he spews orange bile while giving us all the finger
	🧩 3:49pm Matt from Springfield: @melinda: Yep! By the same people who originally did "Signs". Very electric piano heavy track. I had to look up if it was the Five Man Electrical Band (it was), or Sugarloaf.
	3:50pm P-90: Brava Lila!
	3:51pm Passaic River Blues: Your daughter is a 21st Century Thomas Nast, Scott!
	3:51pm JakeGould: @Scott: You raised a good kid!
	🧩 3:53pm Matt from Springfield: Twenty-First Cen-tury Thom-as Nast!
	3:54pm Greg from ZONE 5: Wha? Is McGasko taking over?
	3:54pm V Priceless: Ayers! Yay!
	3:54pm northguineahills: Greg beat me to it!
	3:54pm Sandra: hey! hit a wrong switch or my phone lost your feed... I'm getting nothing but quiet...
	3:55pm thedunkel: Joe? Are you there?
	3:55pm phat: Oh, so that's where that bed music comes from!
	3:55pm melinda: Can't see the art w/app, darnit
	3:55pm P-90: My theory (or desperate hope?) is that Lila's generation will see all the trouble in the next 3-4 years and grow up galvanized to never, ever, allow anything like this to happen again.
	🧩 3:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wait until he puts his picture on all the coins and currency and puts up posters of himself on all the buildings. And on Mt. Rushmore. Hoo boy.
	3:55pm Agent Peter: Suddenly it's this morning again, but more robust
	3:56pm TonyR: Re: Lila's work... I see a WFMU premium cover, or mousepad for the next real marathon.
	3:56pm P-90: Bed music source!
	3:56pm Scott Williams: yup, Joe uses the demo track for this 'un as his sweet bed.
	3:57pm P-90: ahhh...the demo track, hmm
	🧩 3:57pm Matt from Springfield: "Hymn" / "This Song Isn't Called Anything" / "Crystal Clear" - wonderful Kevin Ayers in all of its incarnations. Thank you!
	3:58pm TonyR: Yeah, had a pavlovian reaction to that bed music intro...
	4:00pm V Priceless: could Mike Ratledge be next?
	4:01pm Scott Williams: @VP, he couldn't.... but Daevid Allen could!
	4:02pm Goyim in the AM: As a sign of how punch drunk we all are, @Priceless, I assumed at first you meant next TO DIE.
	4:04pm V Priceless: nice! @ Scott @ Goyim: yeah, I thought the same thing after I posted that! Yikes!
	4:04pm JakeGould: If you go to the protests in NYC outside of the Trump Tower, the atmosphere is weird. The cops are calm and nice and you get the distinct feeling they don't want to be there protecting the guy. It's like a Simpsons episode come to life.
	🧩 4:05pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: it is, unfortunately!
	🧩 4:07pm Matt from Springfield: WFMU re-invigorates!
	4:08pm P-90: "repeatedly kicked in the ribs." Uh-huh...
	🧩 4:09pm Matt from Springfield: "I can't tell if things are the same" "They're not" "How do I know anything that's ever happened is.." "You don't"
	4:12pm Cecile: that was Barry Manilow.
	🧩 4:13pm Matt from Springfield: And Bob Gaudio's collaborator/lyricist of the Four Seasons "psychedelic" release, Genuine Imitation Life Gazette. Gaudio's attempt to go Smile-ish.
	4:13pm Jeff: Not chemtrails - contrails. Don't sound like Them.
	🧩 4:13pm Matt from Springfield: Barry Manilow is still one of the top jingle writers to this day. And yes, Thursday is when things started to feel better.
	4:14pm melinda: Chemtrails lift my spirits too
	4:15pm V Priceless: nothing gold can stay
	4:15pm em: @Scott: I believe we may have been in the exact same psychic space last Wednesday and Thursday. It may as well have been a Freaky Wednesday/Thursday.
	🧩 4:17pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, is that why L.C. was wearing those clothes?! Didn't know! And yes, these are my favorite recordings of these songs, something especially sedate and mellow about them.
	4:18pm JakeGould: Benghazi.
	🧩 4:18pm Matt from Springfield: Come to think, I first started listening to L. Cohen in university, almost exactly ten years ago this month or so, ironically.
	4:19pm JakeGould: Shayna.
	🧩 4:20pm Matt from Springfield: I also like how his enunciations are at their most "Canadian" in these Isle of Wight recordings. See: "Bird on a Wire" and "Suzanne".
	4:23pm JakeGould: Pooey flute!
	4:23pm melinda: @Jake: my thought exactly
	🧩 4:24pm Matt from Springfield: Oh thank you thank you Scott! ♥♥♥ One of his very best. Very nice segue from the last track too.
	4:24pm Carmichael: Heya Scott and pals. Nice Fleetwood Mac choice, not to mention Maggot Brain!
	4:25pm Scott Williams: yr wekkum, Matt :)
	🧩 4:26pm Matt from Springfield: Great article on this song: cohencentric.com...
	🧩 4:34pm Matt from Springfield: Nice, didn't know Roberta recorded Leonard early on.
	4:34pm MenfussMike: This ROBERTA FLACK album is AMAZING. in my Top 100
	4:35pm melinda: Nice cover, new to me
	4:36pm Scott Williams: Roberta Flack's 1st 3 solo albums are all amazing. and don't forget her work w. Donny Hathaway
	🧩 4:36pm Matt from Springfield: Whoa, listen to that drumming in the left channel -- feels like metal shaking right in front of me!
	4:38pm Scott Williams: pretty sure 1st take was recorded at Atlantic's Columbus Circle studios in NYC - so many legendary sessions in there
	4:43pm Goyim in the AM: WhenI'm Your Man was new, I thought the backing tracks would date quickly and most critics agreed. Oh how wrong we wuz.
	4:44pm MenfussMike: Tom Jones did a good cover of Tower
	4:44pm pinholga: Too soon.
	4:46pm Marc15: Democracy will not be coming to the USA for a long time
	🧩 4:48pm Matt from Springfield: @Marc15: Remember the Berlin Wall. Things build up, frustratedly for a long time with nothing changes. Then they all break at once. You never know what's going to happen (as if that wasn't obvious the past week).
	4:50pm Listener142985: Nice that Leonard wrote a love letter to USA but boy was he wrong. ''Spiritual thirst''? Blood lust is more like it.
	4:50pm Scott Williams: @Marc15, it just came in one big bitter pill
	🧩 4:51pm Matt from Springfield: Nina! :)
	4:52pm MenfussMike: there hasn't been a democracy in the U.S. in a LOOONNGGGGG time
	🧩 4:52pm Matt from Springfield: Love this re-imagined arrangement, like samba w/ a bit of gospel to it!
	🧩 4:55pm Matt from Springfield: So Long, Marianne. So Long, Leonard. Marianne died in July 2016. Cohen's farewell letter to Marianne was read at her funeral, stating that "... our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine."
	4:56pm Greg from ZONE 5: I feel like I'm in sophomore year of college again…which thankfully is not actually the case.
	4:59pm MenfussMike: @matt from Springfield. WOW!
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I used to be your favorite drunk, good for one more laugh. Then we both ran out of luck. And luck was all we had. You put on a uniform to fight the Civil War. I tried to join, but no one liked the side I'm fighting for. So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet. I'll be waiting on this corner where there used to be a street. It wasn't all that easy when you up and walked away. But I'll leave that little story for another rainy day. I know your burden's heavy as you wheel it through the night. The guru says it's empty. But that doesn't mean it's light. So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet. I'll be standing on this corner where there used to be a street. You left me with the dishes and a baby in the bath. And you're tight with the militias and you wear their camouflage. Well, I guess that makes us equal. But I want to march with you, just an extra in the sequel to the old red, white and blue. So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet. I'll be waiting on this corner, where there used to be a street. It's going to be September now for many years to come - many hearts adjusting to that strict September drum. I see the ghost of culture with numbers on his wrist, salute some new conclusion that all of us have missed. So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet. I'll be waiting on this corner, where there used to be a street. Leonard Cohen September 21, 1934 - November 7, 2016 Splendid Headphone Isolation Podcast of the Day : www.npr.org...
	5:02pm steveo: That was a great (and to me, educational) tribute, Scott. Thanks!
	🧩 5:02pm Matt from Springfield: So glad we had Leonard while we could.
	🧩 5:06pm Matt from Springfield: And thank you Scott! (No not continuously requesting, but I sent in a couple requests for that in the past months :) "Stoned and sleepy preambles" FTW! That's IT!
	5:07pm Cheyenne: Nice TRUMP portrait, tell Lila she has a future in FINE AHT Also, thanks for all the Cohen-flavoured tracks
	5:08pm TDK60: Hello. Got to see Leonard C. long ago, along with Judy Collins and Phil Ochs.
	5:08pm Linda Lee: really appreciating easy listening lately. actually suggested to Ken that we have a drive-time easy listening show to replace JM in the AM. haven't heard back yet .. :-D
	🧩 5:09pm Matt from Springfield: Fein aht. WOW, great gig TDK60! You were esp. fortunate to see Phil Ochs on that bill.
	5:09pm Linda Lee: TDK60 ~ sounds like a lovely show!
	5:09pm Carmichael: Yay, Scott Walker!
	🧩 5:10pm Matt from Springfield: @Carm: I'm a bit surprised this is under "The Walker Brothers" instead of Scott 4 or one of his solo albums.
	5:11pm Scott Williams: CHEYENNE! I will tell her, fuh shuh
	5:14pm TDK60: Matt, Linda: It was, and outside at the Wollman Skating Rink in Central Park; used to be the Schaefer Beer Music Fest., late '60s-mid '70s.
	🧩 5:17pm Matt from Springfield: Nice track by our friend Yair! @TDK: Awesome!
	5:17pm Carmichael: It's actually a true Walker Brothers song, recorded when they were still together (1978). But it does sound a lot like Scott and NOT a lot like the Brothers Walker.
	🧩 5:19pm Matt from Springfield: This Heatwave is nice, and likewise, feels quite 1978.
	5:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Scott. I tuned in at Nina Simone. It's good to hear your show and your voice.
	5:20pm Scott Williams: Hey Wendy! It's always great to hear from you
	🧩 5:22pm Matt from Springfield: Kris K, always welcome to hear. And Wendy del F, always glad for you to stop in!
	5:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, Scott. I miss you and all the radio pals.
	5:25pm Barney Grubbs: I hope one day Kris K. forgives me for letting my daughter deface him at the record fair a few years back (click on the photo to the left to see it up close).
	5:27pm TDK60: Oh, also, I've been cranky this week; tho maybe "cranky" is too mild?
	5:29pm Inner Ear Detour: It's a good time for this Caetano Veloso record. Thanks, Scott
	🧩 5:29pm Matt from Springfield: Heh, at least she has good taste in deface, Barney :)
	5:30pm Carmichael: Type on the year, Scott ...
	5:30pm Scott Williams: Inner Ear D! Great to hear from you, my friend
	5:30pm Carmichael: *typo (on the typo!)
	🧩 5:33pm Matt from Springfield: Meta-typo!
	5:34pm amylea: Man, that segue was delightful!
	5:34pm coelacanth: this is. ...hi Scott and others
	🧩 5:35pm Matt from Springfield: Hi coelacanth! Digging this electronic mantra.
	5:38pm coelacanth: howdy Matt!
	🧩 5:41pm Matt from Springfield: Michael Caine, classic locked-groove.
	🧩 5:42pm Matt from Springfield: Gabor :) Pleasant little cover, as usual. I should pipe these instros around home more often.
	5:46pm coelacanth: i like that illustration by Lila.
	5:47pm Inner Ear Detour: alvin lucier
	5:47pm Roberto: That's Wesleyan University to you.
	5:49pm Scott Williams: oops, did I say something other than Wesleyan?
	5:50pm Linda Lee: this Starfuckers is amazing ~
	5:52pm Roberto: College.
	5:52pm Scott Williams: OOPS!
	5:52pm Roberto: Sorry, we Wes alum are very protective of our alma mater lolzzz
	5:54pm Scott Williams: unnerstood :)
	5:55pm Roberto: Thanks for not calling it Wellesley :)
	5:56pm Scott Williams: haha that's exactly what I was afraid I'd said...
	5:58pm Roberto: When Obama gave the commencement address in '08 he called it "Wellesleyan" but I'm pretty sure it was intentional. I was the only one who laughed.
	🧩 5:59pm Matt from Springfield: All right! Thanks much Scott, this was a great show, I really needed that! Have a good evening everyone!
	5:59pm John M: a show so good it put me to sleep, dammit.
	6:00pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!
	6:00pm John M: but that's ok
	6:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx SW !

	3:54pm Greg from ZONE 5: Wha? Is McGasko taking over?
	3:54pm V Priceless: Ayers! Yay!
	3:54pm northguineahills: Greg beat me to it!
	3:54pm Sandra: hey! hit a wrong switch or my phone lost your feed... I'm getting nothing but quiet...
	3:55pm thedunkel: Joe? Are you there?
	3:55pm phat: Oh, so that's where that bed music comes from!
	3:55pm melinda: Can't see the art w/app, darnit
	3:55pm P-90: My theory (or desperate hope?) is that Lila's generation will see all the trouble in the next 3-4 years and grow up galvanized to never, ever, allow anything like this to happen again.
	🧩 3:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wait until he puts his picture on all the coins and currency and puts up posters of himself on all the buildings. And on Mt. Rushmore. Hoo boy.
	3:55pm Agent Peter: Suddenly it's this morning again, but more robust
	3:56pm TonyR: Re: Lila's work... I see a WFMU premium cover, or mousepad for the next real marathon.
	3:56pm P-90: Bed music source!
	3:56pm Scott Williams: yup, Joe uses the demo track for this 'un as his sweet bed.
	3:57pm P-90: ahhh...the demo track, hmm
	🧩 3:57pm Matt from Springfield: "Hymn" / "This Song Isn't Called Anything" / "Crystal Clear" - wonderful Kevin Ayers in all of its incarnations. Thank you!
	3:58pm TonyR: Yeah, had a pavlovian reaction to that bed music intro...
	4:00pm V Priceless: could Mike Ratledge be next?
	4:01pm Scott Williams: @VP, he couldn't.... but Daevid Allen could!
	4:02pm Goyim in the AM: As a sign of how punch drunk we all are, @Priceless, I assumed at first you meant next TO DIE.
	4:04pm V Priceless: nice! @ Scott @ Goyim: yeah, I thought the same thing after I posted that! Yikes!
	4:04pm JakeGould: If you go to the protests in NYC outside of the Trump Tower, the atmosphere is weird. The cops are calm and nice and you get the distinct feeling they don't want to be there protecting the guy. It's like a Simpsons episode come to life.
	🧩 4:05pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: it is, unfortunately!
	🧩 4:07pm Matt from Springfield: WFMU re-invigorates!
	4:08pm P-90: "repeatedly kicked in the ribs." Uh-huh...
	🧩 4:09pm Matt from Springfield: "I can't tell if things are the same" "They're not" "How do I know anything that's ever happened is.." "You don't"
	4:12pm Cecile: that was Barry Manilow.
	🧩 4:13pm Matt from Springfield: And Bob Gaudio's collaborator/lyricist of the Four Seasons "psychedelic" release, Genuine Imitation Life Gazette. Gaudio's attempt to go Smile-ish.
	4:13pm Jeff: Not chemtrails - contrails. Don't sound like Them.
	🧩 4:13pm Matt from Springfield: Barry Manilow is still one of the top jingle writers to this day. And yes, Thursday is when things started to feel better.
	4:14pm melinda: Chemtrails lift my spirits too
	4:15pm V Priceless: nothing gold can stay
	4:15pm em: @Scott: I believe we may have been in the exact same psychic space last Wednesday and Thursday. It may as well have been a Freaky Wednesday/Thursday.
	🧩 4:17pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, is that why L.C. was wearing those clothes?! Didn't know! And yes, these are my favorite recordings of these songs, something especially sedate and mellow about them.
	4:18pm JakeGould: Benghazi.
	🧩 4:18pm Matt from Springfield: Come to think, I first started listening to L. Cohen in university, almost exactly ten years ago this month or so, ironically.
	4:19pm JakeGould: Shayna.
	🧩 4:20pm Matt from Springfield: I also like how his enunciations are at their most "Canadian" in these Isle of Wight recordings. See: "Bird on a Wire" and "Suzanne".
	4:23pm JakeGould: Pooey flute!
	4:23pm melinda: @Jake: my thought exactly
	🧩 4:24pm Matt from Springfield: Oh thank you thank you Scott! ♥♥♥ One of his very best. Very nice segue from the last track too.
	4:24pm Carmichael: Heya Scott and pals. Nice Fleetwood Mac choice, not to mention Maggot Brain!
	4:25pm Scott Williams: yr wekkum, Matt :)
	🧩 4:26pm Matt from Springfield: Great article on this song: cohencentric.com...
	🧩 4:34pm Matt from Springfield: Nice, didn't know Roberta recorded Leonard early on.
	4:34pm MenfussMike: This ROBERTA FLACK album is AMAZING. in my Top 100
	4:35pm melinda: Nice cover, new to me
	4:36pm Scott Williams: Roberta Flack's 1st 3 solo albums are all amazing. and don't forget her work w. Donny Hathaway
	🧩 4:36pm Matt from Springfield: Whoa, listen to that drumming in the left channel -- feels like metal shaking right in front of me!
	4:38pm Scott Williams: pretty sure 1st take was recorded at Atlantic's Columbus Circle studios in NYC - so many legendary sessions in there
	4:43pm Goyim in the AM: WhenI'm Your Man was new, I thought the backing tracks would date quickly and most critics agreed. Oh how wrong we wuz.
	4:44pm MenfussMike: Tom Jones did a good cover of Tower
	4:44pm pinholga: Too soon.
	4:46pm Marc15: Democracy will not be coming to the USA for a long time
	🧩 4:48pm Matt from Springfield: @Marc15: Remember the Berlin Wall. Things build up, frustratedly for a long time with nothing changes. Then they all break at once. You never know what's going to happen (as if that wasn't obvious the past week).
	4:50pm Listener142985: Nice that Leonard wrote a love letter to USA but boy was he wrong. ''Spiritual thirst''? Blood lust is more like it.
	4:50pm Scott Williams: @Marc15, it just came in one big bitter pill
	🧩 4:51pm Matt from Springfield: Nina! :)
	4:52pm MenfussMike: there hasn't been a democracy in the U.S. in a LOOONNGGGGG time
	🧩 4:52pm Matt from Springfield: Love this re-imagined arrangement, like samba w/ a bit of gospel to it!
	🧩 4:55pm Matt from Springfield: So Long, Marianne. So Long, Leonard. Marianne died in July 2016. Cohen's farewell letter to Marianne was read at her funeral, stating that "... our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine."
	4:56pm Greg from ZONE 5: I feel like I'm in sophomore year of college again…which thankfully is not actually the case.
	4:59pm MenfussMike: @matt from Springfield. WOW!
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I used to be your favorite drunk, good for one more laugh. Then we both ran out of luck. And luck was all we had. You put on a uniform to fight the Civil War. I tried to join, but no one liked the side I'm fighting for. So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet. I'll be waiting on this corner where there used to be a street. It wasn't all that easy when you up and walked away. But I'll leave that little story for another rainy day. I know your burden's heavy as you wheel it through the night. The guru says it's empty. But that doesn't mean it's light. So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet. I'll be standing on this corner where there used to be a street. You left me with the dishes and a baby in the bath. And you're tight with the militias and you wear their camouflage. Well, I guess that makes us equal. But I want to march with you, just an extra in the sequel to the old red, white and blue. So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet. I'll be waiting on this corner, where there used to be a street. It's going to be September now for many years to come - many hearts adjusting to that strict September drum. I see the ghost of culture with numbers on his wrist, salute some new conclusion that all of us have missed. So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet. I'll be waiting on this corner, where there used to be a street. Leonard Cohen September 21, 1934 - November 7, 2016 Splendid Headphone Isolation Podcast of the Day : www.npr.org...
	5:02pm steveo: That was a great (and to me, educational) tribute, Scott. Thanks!
	🧩 5:02pm Matt from Springfield: So glad we had Leonard while we could.
	🧩 5:06pm Matt from Springfield: And thank you Scott! (No not continuously requesting, but I sent in a couple requests for that in the past months :) "Stoned and sleepy preambles" FTW! That's IT!
	5:07pm Cheyenne: Nice TRUMP portrait, tell Lila she has a future in FINE AHT Also, thanks for all the Cohen-flavoured tracks
	5:08pm TDK60: Hello. Got to see Leonard C. long ago, along with Judy Collins and Phil Ochs.
	5:08pm Linda Lee: really appreciating easy listening lately. actually suggested to Ken that we have a drive-time easy listening show to replace JM in the AM. haven't heard back yet .. :-D
	🧩 5:09pm Matt from Springfield: Fein aht. WOW, great gig TDK60! You were esp. fortunate to see Phil Ochs on that bill.
	5:09pm Linda Lee: TDK60 ~ sounds like a lovely show!
	5:09pm Carmichael: Yay, Scott Walker!
	🧩 5:10pm Matt from Springfield: @Carm: I'm a bit surprised this is under "The Walker Brothers" instead of Scott 4 or one of his solo albums.
	5:11pm Scott Williams: CHEYENNE! I will tell her, fuh shuh
	5:14pm TDK60: Matt, Linda: It was, and outside at the Wollman Skating Rink in Central Park; used to be the Schaefer Beer Music Fest., late '60s-mid '70s.
	🧩 5:17pm Matt from Springfield: Nice track by our friend Yair! @TDK: Awesome!
	5:17pm Carmichael: It's actually a true Walker Brothers song, recorded when they were still together (1978). But it does sound a lot like Scott and NOT a lot like the Brothers Walker.
	🧩 5:19pm Matt from Springfield: This Heatwave is nice, and likewise, feels quite 1978.
	5:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Scott. I tuned in at Nina Simone. It's good to hear your show and your voice.
	5:20pm Scott Williams: Hey Wendy! It's always great to hear from you
	🧩 5:22pm Matt from Springfield: Kris K, always welcome to hear. And Wendy del F, always glad for you to stop in!
	5:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, Scott. I miss you and all the radio pals.
	5:25pm Barney Grubbs: I hope one day Kris K. forgives me for letting my daughter deface him at the record fair a few years back (click on the photo to the left to see it up close).
	5:27pm TDK60: Oh, also, I've been cranky this week; tho maybe "cranky" is too mild?
	5:29pm Inner Ear Detour: It's a good time for this Caetano Veloso record. Thanks, Scott
	🧩 5:29pm Matt from Springfield: Heh, at least she has good taste in deface, Barney :)
	5:30pm Carmichael: Type on the year, Scott ...
	5:30pm Scott Williams: Inner Ear D! Great to hear from you, my friend
	5:30pm Carmichael: *typo (on the typo!)
	🧩 5:33pm Matt from Springfield: Meta-typo!
	5:34pm amylea: Man, that segue was delightful!
	5:34pm coelacanth: this is. ...hi Scott and others
	🧩 5:35pm Matt from Springfield: Hi coelacanth! Digging this electronic mantra.
	5:38pm coelacanth: howdy Matt!
	🧩 5:41pm Matt from Springfield: Michael Caine, classic locked-groove.
	🧩 5:42pm Matt from Springfield: Gabor :) Pleasant little cover, as usual. I should pipe these instros around home more often.
	5:46pm coelacanth: i like that illustration by Lila.
	5:47pm Inner Ear Detour: alvin lucier
	5:47pm Roberto: That's Wesleyan University to you.
	5:49pm Scott Williams: oops, did I say something other than Wesleyan?
	5:50pm Linda Lee: this Starfuckers is amazing ~
	5:52pm Roberto: College.
	5:52pm Scott Williams: OOPS!
	5:52pm Roberto: Sorry, we Wes alum are very protective of our alma mater lolzzz
	5:54pm Scott Williams: unnerstood :)
	5:55pm Roberto: Thanks for not calling it Wellesley :)
	5:56pm Scott Williams: haha that's exactly what I was afraid I'd said...
	5:58pm Roberto: When Obama gave the commencement address in '08 he called it "Wellesleyan" but I'm pretty sure it was intentional. I was the only one who laughed.
	🧩 5:59pm Matt from Springfield: All right! Thanks much Scott, this was a great show, I really needed that! Have a good evening everyone!
	5:59pm John M: a show so good it put me to sleep, dammit.
	6:00pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!
	6:00pm John M: but that's ok
