Listener comments!

	12:00pm annie: i'm here!!!
	12:03pm Meghan: Good afternoon all (and possibly Al)
	12:03pm JakeGould: Hello!
	12:03pm Uncle Michael: Yo!
	12:04pm βrian: The Central Time Zone represents.
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: I am eating the platonic ideal of a Palisades peach right now.
	12:07pm Meghan: Central time zone being represented twice... with Uncle Michael as well...
	12:11pm Jeff Golick: Oy!
	12:11pm βrian: On reason I miss Michigan: Peaches, beautiful peaches. Dear me.
	12:13pm βrian: One more and we'll have a quorum!
	12:13pm Doug Schulkind: Uncle Wiggly forever.
	12:15pm Parq: If you call me, you can call me all.
	12:18pm JtotheK: hi. (also Central Time Zone.)
	12:20pm Sem Chumbo: Hello, Meghan, underwater listeners.
	12:21pm JakeGould: Michigan peaches are a thing? At the farmer’s market in Union Square yesterday it was just pea shoots this and pea shoots that.
	12:21pm steveo: blub blub
	12:23pm βrian: Michigan peaches are THE thing. Cherries, too.
	12:25pm βrian: "Withering," is what I get.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: I'm sorry, Brian but there is no peach that approaches a Palisades peach.
	12:29pm βrian: UM: They're probably shipping them from Michigan and re-labelling them. But if it tastes good, that's all that matters.
	12:30pm Meghan: I live on a Palisade, but I don't see any peaches up there....
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: You don't live in Palisades, Colorado, though.
	12:33pm P-90: Hi Meghan, so sorry that this is such a crazy time for you. We'll miss him too, even way out here in the cheap seats.
	12:34pm Dave B.: Checking in from Ft Lauderdale
	12:35pm Meghan: Cheap seats or not, his reach was far and wide. And always with open arms despite his gumpy exterior!
	12:36pm Meghan: How's it down there Dave? A mess or ok?
	12:40pm P-90: Loving the uber-eighties guitar tone on this Sunflower Bean
	12:40pm Dave B.: Not too bad. Powers been restored, and they have some piles of sand on the beach that need to be smoothed out
	12:41pm JakeGould: I don’t know about cherries. Blueberries for me. All other small fruits suck.
	12:43pm βrian: Michigan blueberries! Yes, I forgot. But they've got those in quite a few places. Even Wisconsin.
	12:46pm coelacanth∅: hi Meghan and all
	12:49pm Meghan: Blueberries are Maine....
	12:49pm JakeGould: Strawberries only work in ham for me. Cherries are fine with me in ice cream or soda. Blueberries are just like grapes to me.
	12:50pm northguineahills: I never heard of Uncle Wiggly before...
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: blueberries are just like heaven to me.
	12:53pm northguineahills: Still waiting to go home once I get electricity. There goes my vacation for the year (I only got Friday and Monday paid off officially so far).
	12:55pm Meghan: oh no, really? Even though it was an emergency? Glad you are ok!
	12:55pm βrian: My sweetie once brought home two 5-gallon buckets of wild Maine blueberries. Heaven!
	12:58pm JakeGould: @Brian: Nice lady you are partnering with!
	1:03pm Jeff Golick: That Mingus cut was used in a VW ad some 15 years ago. www.youtube.com...
	1:05pm Meghan: oh i remember when all the car ads started using songs that I liked.... VW used Nick Drake, I think Nissan used Galaxie 500....
	1:06pm northguineahills: My boss has electricity. The HQ server died due to lack of A/C. Hoping to hear a better prognosis at my local office as that's one of my jobs. It's only been five days, South Florida and Puerto Rico are so much worse off.
	1:07pm Jeff Golick: @Meghan: yeah. The Sonics showing up in a Range Rover ad was a low point for me.
	1:08pm Jeff Golick: I have vague memories (c. late 1980s) of hearing Mission of Burma behind a Levi's ad, but think that one is just a dream.
	1:08pm Meghan: It was a moment for me that I realized advertising was trying to directly address me and my generation.... (or those that happened to listen to that music...)
	1:12pm Sem Chumbo: Wow, in the kitchen listening to this, and it sounded like James Brown on helium in the middle of a psychotic episode. In a very good way.
	1:18pm JtotheK: i recall a Lincoln advert using a Mr Scruff song... and the Mr Scruff song sampled from Moondog...so Moondog was in a Lincoln advert!
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: When it's Little River Band songs, I'm toast.
	1:21pm Jeff Golick: Nat Hentoff on that Mingus song, via the liner notes: "[T]he record [...] begins with a piece whose title is much less opaque than it first appears to be. If you read the roman numeral with which it begins as "to" and then add the common meaning of B.S., you arrive at Mingus's occasional exasperation at having to find titles for compositions after they've been created. 'Often,' he explains, 'when I'm sitting at the piano, developing a piece, it's difficult to put a label on the particular feeling I have going. All I can really put into words about this one is that it's meant to communicate a mood of elation. And it's strongly related to the Haitian Fight Song.'"
	1:23pm Meghan: Yes! All of that Yes!!! Brilliant!
	1:24pm Guido from Cologne: Hallo Meghan! Wie geht's? Schönes Radioprogramm machst Du da!
	1:24pm The Oscar: I've mostly come to terms with songs I like being used in ads (mostly because, for songs I REALLY like, it's still pretty rare), but maybe six months ago there was a car ad that used "Search and Destroy," only they cut out the solo in the second bar and just looped the intro again, and it drove me fucking CRAZY. My girlfriend said it was like watching a dog react to a frequency you can't hear.
	1:25pm Jeff Golick: Yup, @The Oscar. I did come to enjoy hearing "Lust for Life" in those cruise commercials, though.
	1:26pm The Oscar: @Jeff An oldie but a goodie: www.theonion.com...
	1:27pm Meghan: Danke Guido!!! Viel dank!
	1:27pm Parq: The way I look at it, when a recording by an artist I dig gets used on a commercial, that means money for the artist I dig (and, if it's a different person, for the songwriter), and that's a good thing. Of course, the record companies often assert that the individual artists get only a teeny percentage, and that's a bad thing, but it's not caused by the use of the recording in a commercial.
	1:28pm Jeff Golick: Yesterday's comedy as today's news. That's great, @The Oscar. "Notably absent from the ad is any footage of a shirtless, bleeding Iggy Pop in skintight leopard-print pants," hahahah
	1:30pm Parq: "That's why 'Rocks Off' is perfect for Procter & Gamble's new line of children's shampoos." The Oscar is right -- that says it all.
	1:33pm Jeff Golick: Oh man. Is this set at the station already??
	1:34pm Meghan: noooooo not yet. They've released a few songs on Bandcamp
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: I pre-ordered the Numero Group HD release.
	1:38pm Jeff Golick: Aha. Nice.
	1:39pm βrian: Sorry to have missed the helium.
	1:42pm βrian: On occasion I listen to "Newsah" on BBC Radion.
	1:43pm Guido from Cologne: MBV!
	1:44pm βrian: Eh, "Radio."
	1:45pm northguineahills: I can definitely use MBV right now...
	1:45pm Meghan: News-owah
	1:47pm mauri: heipä hei!
	1:47pm northguineahills: Ok, I'm out to dig some drainage ditches, and thanks to my wireless earbuds, I can still listen to you!
	1:48pm Meghan: I need me some wireless headphones. Hey there Mauri!
	1:51pm mauri: I must remember to buy wireless headphones tomorrow. Its pouring down here and im warming up the sauna.
	1:54pm JakeGould: I’m kinda tired of hearing the hemming and hawing about artists “selling out” or not. At the end of the day—especially in music—many artistic careers are painfully short. Like 2-3 years of solid, great work followed by years of rehashing it until it’s past caricature. If you are an artist and can get a pile of $$$ for your work, more power to you. Also, there is such romantic nonsense about starving artists. If they are “starving” they are pure. If they finally get paid, they are “sell outs.” Even in the visual art world. People seem to love stories about keeping precious artists as their own personal, suffering servants. Bleagh! Just let them get paid. Enjoy the art, not the politics.
	1:56pm maestroso: This Godspeed is epic.
	1:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Meghan. Please give Diane K. a hug or two on your way out. She's kind of down today, understandably.
	2:00pm Meghan: I don't mind if an artist sells their work for advertising, but I do wonder if they were part of the conversation or did the label do it on their behalf. I do hate that a lot of those 70's pop soul songs make me think of Burger King. But yes, all artists should make a living. If they are getting a wider reach and you (the general you) feel they have become uncool because your hidden group or artist has reached a wider audience, which may make you uncool, then come on..... It's really about people's attachment to artists and not about selling out. As the Dead Milkmen so famously say in Instant Klub Hit- I met Andy Warhol at a really chic party..... blow it out your hair dude cause you work at Hardees
	2:00pm Meghan: Oh Ken, Diane and I already had a good blather about it. Very emotional day here at the station
	2:02pm Ike: Thanks Meghan! As for emotions, yeah, me too.... :( :( :( :(
	2:04pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Meghan rest in peace Wm. and rest in peace Grant Hart
	2:05pm Guido from Cologne: CU!
