Listener comments!
	11:56am Nick S.: Inferno! Hey, Tony!
	11:58am Tony Coulter: Heya, Nick!
	12:00pm Psychspaniolos: Hallo Tony and Nick S
	12:01pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Psychspaniolos!
	12:05pm Scraps: Toto B!
	12:06pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, Scraps!
	12:06pm Webhamster Henry: What fresh Hell is this? ... it's supposed to get up to the 60s today in Kingston, NY.
	12:07pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Webham! It's snowing in Portland right now.....
	12:10pm JtotheK: hi tony, hi everyone.
	12:11pm Scraps: That artist got the quote wrong, as usual. “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." —Signed, ye Bastard Copyeditor
	12:11pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, JtotheK!
	12:11pm Nick S.: I'm wearing therapeutic underpants here in NC!
	12:11pm Nick S.: It's going to be almost 80 in NC, actually.
	12:12pm Rand al'Thor: Hello, all.
	12:13pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Rand al'Thor!
	12:13pm Psychspaniolos: monsterbrains.blogspot.gr...
	12:15pm Rich in Washington: Tony!
	12:15pm Rich in Washington: That Monster Brains site is amazing.
	12:16pm Tony Coulter: Richie Rich! Heya!
	12:18pm Rich in Washington: HA! I grew up near a large, amish-like religious community of Finnish Apostolic Lutherans. They all called me Richie Rich because Harvey comics were one of the few types of comics they could have, as superheroes and monster comics were violent, worldly and Satanic.
	12:19pm Tony Coulter: Better than being called Baby Huey, I guess.
	12:19pm Rich in Washington: Or Lil' Hot Stuff.
	12:20pm still b/p: Cousin Reggie was the demon, the dark one!
	12:20pm Rich in Washington: Yes! Just Hot Stuff drawn with evil eyebrows.
	12:20pm Rich in Washington: and a bowler - or derby, if memory serves...
	12:21pm Tony Coulter: The Veronica to Archie's Betty? Hey hey, still b/p!
	12:21pm Rich in Washington: Little Lotta. Wasn't that a character? I guess body shaming was OK to Apostolic Lutherans.
	12:25pm Tony Coulter: Speaking of Veronica (well, I was), she was my very first crush.
	12:25pm Rich in Washington: (reading about Harvey characters): apparently, there's a comic character within the comic Little Lotta called Flying Man.
	12:26pm still b/p: Lotta’s size and appetite were not kindly treated, but she kicked ASS when teasers needed schoolin’.
	12:27pm Rich in Washington: The older I get, the more my stance re: Betty v. Veronica changes. I'm willing to bet now that Veronica was really neurotic and Betty, being somewhat repressed for all those years, is much less inhibited than her good girl image would have you believe. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about these things, honestly.
	12:28pm Rich in Washington: apparently, Little Lotta will be in an upcoming Netflix serialization of the whole Harvey ouvre. No lie, G.I.
	12:30pm still b/p: Tying comics more directly to religion, I saw an Archie piece in which happy Betty announced all around that her boyfriend was Jesus. Don’t know if that was a temp takeover/ adaptation of intention... art-wise it was the real deal.
	12:31pm Rich in Washington: I've seen that one. It's bizarre. Also an Archie or related comic where a young girl has an exorcism performed on her.
	12:33pm Rich in Washington: I honestly forgot all about Archie comics until the issue came out in the mid 80s where Jughead became a hardcore punker. I think it was somewhat controversial or got written up as 'Archie's changing with the times - blather..'
	12:34pm Tony Coulter: And to think, Archie went through the whole hippie era without his hair ever getting an inch longer.
	12:35pm Tony Coulter: Archie himself, I mean
	12:37pm Rich in Washington: He still wore his white pressed shirt with a cardigan well into the 80s.
	12:37pm Rich in Washington: This is wonderful. I have never heard of Donald Knaack.
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: He's great. Also has a fine release with his wife Peggy: www.discogs.com...
	12:40pm Scraps: Remember ‘50s Mad that showed Archie & Jughead as Bad Kids? Starchie and Bottleneck, I believe. Hilarious.
	12:41pm Rich in Washington: YES! The old EC Mads got reissued sometime in the 70s, tucked into a contemporary issue. God, I wish I still had those! So goddamn funny!
	12:43pm Rich in Washington: Costes was nuts. I seem to recall that once in the late 80s, he issued a CD, which was actually a round piece of cardboard with a message scrawled on it cursing the buyer for actually buying the 'CD'.
	12:44pm Scraps: Hey, here it is: undercoverarchie.blogspot.com...
	12:45pm still b/p: Though main characters only got a slight degree of groovy, around them some hippie-ness and signs of the times showed up which was fun. And remember when the gang had superhero alter-egos for a while?
	12:45pm Tony Coulter: My guess is that out of "character," Costes is totally sane and reasonable. But who knows....
	12:47pm Webhamster Henry: Little Dot is a kind of Concept artist, Caspar is a dead baby, Baby Huey is Bill Clinton.
	12:48pm Rich in Washington: I loved Bart Simpson's revelation that Casper is Richie Rich's ghost.
	12:49pm Rich in Washington: but, according to Daniel Johnston, he's a little boy who fell down a wishing well. Well well.
	12:50pm still b/p: And Playful Little Audrey is...?
	12:58pm Sem: Hello, Tony, Coultergeists, lovers of rhinoceros and psychedelic fork, other folk happening by.
	12:59pm Tony Coulter: Hey, hey, hey, Sem!
	1:09pm Tony Coulter: You see: Costes is not the crazy man, Koen De Bruyne is.
	1:23pm Tony Coulter: So, it seems like hip young record collectors are really starting to go for the super-clean digital sounds of mid-'80s into '90s new age/minimal/experimental stuff (like this David Van Tieghem). Isn't rediscovering the CD the logical next step?
	1:24pm Rich in Washington: I have a hard time thinking anyone will ever romanticize the CD format, but maybe that's me.
	1:26pm Rich in Washington: But it's funny to hear that younger people are getting into New Age-y sounds. How did that happen? Did their dads turn them onto Jade Warrior, Jean Michel Jarre, etc.?
	1:26pm Tony Coulter: I think it'll come eventually -- it's inevitable. Younger people don't like 'em now because they are what their parents listened to. But once enough time passes....
	1:28pm Tony Coulter: Romanticizing the CD will come eventually, I mean. The New Age craze has been big for a while, and has been branching off into all sorts of hybrids, like Italian minimalist/experimental/ethnic/new age.
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: I am encountering this new huge wave of finding cool things at thrift stores on CD. Like I'm guessing gen-xers are maybe dumping their CDs, now, whereas before, they were holding onto them? Not crazy rare stuff per se, but stuff that's somewhat obscurish, desireable, like people would go apeshit over it if it was reissued on vinyl, which perhaps is another reason...
	1:30pm Rich in Washington: Sort of reminds me of how people were dumping their vinyl records in the late 80s/early 90s.
	1:31pm Webhamster Henry: Or dumping their piano rolls.
	1:31pm Tony Coulter: Yeah, I've been picking up tons of good super-cheap CDs -- I'm not prejudiced when it comes to the medium. And yeah, it definitely reminds me of the great '90s vinyl dump off.
	1:31pm Rich in Washington: a lot of horrible garbage too. All that so-called 90s alternative and Nu Metal crap.
	1:33pm Rich in Washington: RIght on, Henry! There were probably guys who in the Edison cylinder days were going "Um, actually - I prefer PIANO ROLLS!"
	1:34pm Tony Coulter: @ Webhamster Henry: Not sure when you left Park Slope, but: Do you remember that nameless record store on 5th Ave. and Ninth St.? They actually carried piano rolls, that had probably been dumped back in the 1890s.
	1:34pm Rich in Washington: Looking at all that 90s crap, I think that might've been a horrible time for music, but geez, I don't know. Now seems pretty freaking awful.
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: All times are awful -- or great -- depending on what you're looking at.
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Methinks...
	1:36pm Rich in Washington: Of course I'm talking about the 1890s. Nothing but Sousa marches and Caruso.
	1:36pm Webhamster Henry: 5th and 9th? hmm not my neighborhood! Too bad, we had the reproducing piano while we were in the Slope - it's now with my sister in Pennsylvania after about 15 years. I never bought any rolls for it - they just accumulated from other people!
	1:38pm still b/p: Join FMU on the Flexi Disc side.....come onnnn....
	1:41pm Webhamster Henry: The Flexi/Cardboard/Oddity recording museum is one of the remnants of my WFMU webhamstery: www.wfmu.org...
	1:41pm Tony Coulter: I collect flexi–piano rolls
	1:43pm Rich in Washington: I remember that site, WH! That ET flexi sounded like some kind of weird suffocation snuff porn audio. Nightmarish!
	1:51pm Rich in Washington: Whoa! What the hell! For a second I thought this was outtakes from Langley School Project!
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: Trillium is a Portland school! Found this CD for 50 cents recently.
	1:53pm Rich in Washington: WOW! This is fantastic!
	1:54pm Rich in Washington: That Langley Schools CD is always in my radio crate.
	1:55pm Rich in Washington: This is even better, though! I hope to hear more on future shows.
	1:59pm Tony Coulter: That was the stand-out track, but there is other good stuff on there.
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: hello Tony, and others like Tony
	2:04pm Tony Coulter: Great googly greetings, coelacanth∅!
	2:04pm northguineahills: I wish my state had a conservatory of noise.
	2:05pm Tony Coulter: Hey, NGH! Maybe you should start one?
	2:07pm northguineahills: There is definitely plenty of noise here that needs to be conserved.
	2:08pm northguineahills: Digging this album title.
	2:08pm βrian: Wisconsin? Wha?
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: bad me been listening since the first hour didn't say hi. for a while to both fmu streams together and it worked beautifully for a while, then not. - i really liked something but didn't want to get up to see what it was. i clicked "pathetic dreams"...was that a longish, "lounge prog" piece (can i coin that or did someone beat me to it) with excellent drumming and a perty female vocal.
	2:10pm Tony Coulter: @ coelacanth∅: Yep, that sounds like "Pathetic Dreams."
	2:10pm Tony Coulter: Hola hey hello, βrian!
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: thanks
	2:11pm Tony Coulter: @ NGH: The morphing album title, you mean? Mistyped it first go-round.
	2:13pm Tony Coulter: By the by, the DZ Lectric piece was dedicated to Luc Ferrari. Can definitely hear the influence.
	2:15pm βrian: Heads will roll!
	2:18pm northguineahills: Wow, cool for the info, I immediately loved the DZ Lectric track, and Luc Ferrari is my Bodhisattva.
	2:20pm Tony Coulter: Warning: this piece has some lengthy pauses. Do not adjust your set....
	2:21pm βrian: Tish, that most certainly is French.
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: (not "shit" backward)
	2:23pm βrian: You know better, Gomez.
	2:28pm Listener Bob in PGH: coelacanth∅ - that would be "tihs"
	2:29pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Listener Bob!
	2:30pm Mark Williams: I've come to be Deleted.
	2:30pm Tony Coulter: Mark! Hiya!
	2:30pm Psychspaniolos: :)
	2:30pm Listener Bob in PGH: Greetings from that other town with lots of bridges and rivers
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: true,Bob, if we were reading, but we were listening. shit played backward sounds like "tish".
	2:31pm Tony Coulter: Hmm: What does PGH stand for?
	2:33pm βrian: Philadelphia General Hospital?
	2:34pm Listener Bob in PGH: I see (or rather hear)! Phonics. PGH = Pernicious Ground Hog
	2:34pm βrian: Tish now offers her arm.
	2:35pm Psychspaniolos: pretty good hand
	2:35pm coelacanth∅: is your birthday on groundhog day?
	2:36pm Mark Williams: hey Tony. Been a while for me. Too long.
	2:37pm Listener Bob in PGH: Feb 2, nah that's Phil's birthday
	2:40pm βrian: Shouldn't you announce backward when you're back-announcing, Tony?
	2:40pm Dean: Saw RtF on this tour. Stevie Wonder joined them for a few songs.
	2:41pm Tony Coulter: @ βrian: You're right -- I'll try that next time.
	2:41pm ?: Lenny White was the highlight as far as solos went.
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: Collins? (jan 30) Manzanara? (jan 31) just curious. it is mine and kids used to call me the groundhog.
	2:42pm Listener Bob in PGH: HA! When I first glanced at this RTF track I thought it said "Medieval Torture"
	2:42pm ?=Dean: .
	2:42pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Dean and ?! This is them at their proggiest, fer sure.
	2:44pm Tony Coulter: Aha, Dean: You and the questioning punctuation mark are one and the same.
	2:44pm Dean: Feb. 2 is James Joyce's birthday. Er, was.
	2:46pm βrian: I read that JJ identified a new species of bird.
	2:47pm Sem: An aural joy this PM, T.C.. Big appreciation from the shores of the drizzly and way-too-soon Spring-weathered North Atlantic.
	2:47pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Sem!
	2:49pm Dean: Earlier this month Paris Review published some of JJ's letters to Nora, his wife-to-be. Whew. And the courts thought Ulysses was obscene!
	2:49pm Tony Coulter: Oh: Apologies for the lack of a basement records set this week. Didn't do much rooting down there since the last freeform show.
	2:49pm coelacanth∅: oh! duh, punxsutawney phil
	2:52pm βrian: It wasn't a wood thrush that James discovered, no. And it wasn't a gray-breasted martin. Hmm, what was that bird?
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: I'm snowed in and completely bored. I told my wife I was going to put away and work on resorting tons of unfiled records, so now I really have to do it.
	2:57pm northguineahills: Thanks Tony!
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tony! take care bird people, rodents, sea life and others
	2:58pm Psychspaniolos: Thanks a lot Tony good bye all
	2:59pm βrian: I know it was a little bird ...
	2:59pm Tony Coulter: See you, everyone! Thanks for showing up!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: thanks, Tony! See ya!
	3:00pm still b/p: Thanks, Tony.

	1:28pm Tony Coulter: Romanticizing the CD will come eventually, I mean. The New Age craze has been big for a while, and has been branching off into all sorts of hybrids, like Italian minimalist/experimental/ethnic/new age.
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: I am encountering this new huge wave of finding cool things at thrift stores on CD. Like I'm guessing gen-xers are maybe dumping their CDs, now, whereas before, they were holding onto them? Not crazy rare stuff per se, but stuff that's somewhat obscurish, desireable, like people would go apeshit over it if it was reissued on vinyl, which perhaps is another reason...
	1:30pm Rich in Washington: Sort of reminds me of how people were dumping their vinyl records in the late 80s/early 90s.
	1:31pm Webhamster Henry: Or dumping their piano rolls.
	1:31pm Tony Coulter: Yeah, I've been picking up tons of good super-cheap CDs -- I'm not prejudiced when it comes to the medium. And yeah, it definitely reminds me of the great '90s vinyl dump off.
	1:31pm Rich in Washington: a lot of horrible garbage too. All that so-called 90s alternative and Nu Metal crap.
	1:33pm Rich in Washington: RIght on, Henry! There were probably guys who in the Edison cylinder days were going "Um, actually - I prefer PIANO ROLLS!"
	1:34pm Tony Coulter: @ Webhamster Henry: Not sure when you left Park Slope, but: Do you remember that nameless record store on 5th Ave. and Ninth St.? They actually carried piano rolls, that had probably been dumped back in the 1890s.
	1:34pm Rich in Washington: Looking at all that 90s crap, I think that might've been a horrible time for music, but geez, I don't know. Now seems pretty freaking awful.
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: All times are awful -- or great -- depending on what you're looking at.
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Methinks...
	1:36pm Rich in Washington: Of course I'm talking about the 1890s. Nothing but Sousa marches and Caruso.
	1:36pm Webhamster Henry: 5th and 9th? hmm not my neighborhood! Too bad, we had the reproducing piano while we were in the Slope - it's now with my sister in Pennsylvania after about 15 years. I never bought any rolls for it - they just accumulated from other people!
	1:38pm still b/p: Join FMU on the Flexi Disc side.....come onnnn....
	1:41pm Webhamster Henry: The Flexi/Cardboard/Oddity recording museum is one of the remnants of my WFMU webhamstery: www.wfmu.org...
	1:41pm Tony Coulter: I collect flexi–piano rolls
	1:43pm Rich in Washington: I remember that site, WH! That ET flexi sounded like some kind of weird suffocation snuff porn audio. Nightmarish!
	1:51pm Rich in Washington: Whoa! What the hell! For a second I thought this was outtakes from Langley School Project!
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: Trillium is a Portland school! Found this CD for 50 cents recently.
	1:53pm Rich in Washington: WOW! This is fantastic!
	1:54pm Rich in Washington: That Langley Schools CD is always in my radio crate.
	1:55pm Rich in Washington: This is even better, though! I hope to hear more on future shows.
	1:59pm Tony Coulter: That was the stand-out track, but there is other good stuff on there.
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: hello Tony, and others like Tony
	2:04pm Tony Coulter: Great googly greetings, coelacanth∅!
	2:04pm northguineahills: I wish my state had a conservatory of noise.
	2:05pm Tony Coulter: Hey, NGH! Maybe you should start one?
	2:07pm northguineahills: There is definitely plenty of noise here that needs to be conserved.
	2:08pm northguineahills: Digging this album title.
	2:08pm βrian: Wisconsin? Wha?
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: bad me been listening since the first hour didn't say hi. for a while to both fmu streams together and it worked beautifully for a while, then not. - i really liked something but didn't want to get up to see what it was. i clicked "pathetic dreams"...was that a longish, "lounge prog" piece (can i coin that or did someone beat me to it) with excellent drumming and a perty female vocal.
	2:10pm Tony Coulter: @ coelacanth∅: Yep, that sounds like "Pathetic Dreams."
	2:10pm Tony Coulter: Hola hey hello, βrian!
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: thanks
	2:11pm Tony Coulter: @ NGH: The morphing album title, you mean? Mistyped it first go-round.
	2:13pm Tony Coulter: By the by, the DZ Lectric piece was dedicated to Luc Ferrari. Can definitely hear the influence.
	2:15pm βrian: Heads will roll!
	2:18pm northguineahills: Wow, cool for the info, I immediately loved the DZ Lectric track, and Luc Ferrari is my Bodhisattva.
	2:20pm Tony Coulter: Warning: this piece has some lengthy pauses. Do not adjust your set....
	2:21pm βrian: Tish, that most certainly is French.
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: (not "shit" backward)
	2:23pm βrian: You know better, Gomez.
	2:28pm Listener Bob in PGH: coelacanth∅ - that would be "tihs"
	2:29pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Listener Bob!
	2:30pm Mark Williams: I've come to be Deleted.
	2:30pm Tony Coulter: Mark! Hiya!
	2:30pm Psychspaniolos: :)
	2:30pm Listener Bob in PGH: Greetings from that other town with lots of bridges and rivers
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: true,Bob, if we were reading, but we were listening. shit played backward sounds like "tish".
	2:31pm Tony Coulter: Hmm: What does PGH stand for?
	2:33pm βrian: Philadelphia General Hospital?
	2:34pm Listener Bob in PGH: I see (or rather hear)! Phonics. PGH = Pernicious Ground Hog
	2:34pm βrian: Tish now offers her arm.
	2:35pm Psychspaniolos: pretty good hand
	2:35pm coelacanth∅: is your birthday on groundhog day?
	2:36pm Mark Williams: hey Tony. Been a while for me. Too long.
	2:37pm Listener Bob in PGH: Feb 2, nah that's Phil's birthday
	2:40pm βrian: Shouldn't you announce backward when you're back-announcing, Tony?
	2:40pm Dean: Saw RtF on this tour. Stevie Wonder joined them for a few songs.
	2:41pm Tony Coulter: @ βrian: You're right -- I'll try that next time.
	2:41pm ?: Lenny White was the highlight as far as solos went.
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: Collins? (jan 30) Manzanara? (jan 31) just curious. it is mine and kids used to call me the groundhog.
	2:42pm Listener Bob in PGH: HA! When I first glanced at this RTF track I thought it said "Medieval Torture"
	2:42pm ?=Dean: .
	2:42pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Dean and ?! This is them at their proggiest, fer sure.
	2:44pm Tony Coulter: Aha, Dean: You and the questioning punctuation mark are one and the same.
	2:44pm Dean: Feb. 2 is James Joyce's birthday. Er, was.
	2:46pm βrian: I read that JJ identified a new species of bird.
	2:47pm Sem: An aural joy this PM, T.C.. Big appreciation from the shores of the drizzly and way-too-soon Spring-weathered North Atlantic.
	2:47pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Sem!
	2:49pm Dean: Earlier this month Paris Review published some of JJ's letters to Nora, his wife-to-be. Whew. And the courts thought Ulysses was obscene!
	2:49pm Tony Coulter: Oh: Apologies for the lack of a basement records set this week. Didn't do much rooting down there since the last freeform show.
	2:49pm coelacanth∅: oh! duh, punxsutawney phil
	2:52pm βrian: It wasn't a wood thrush that James discovered, no. And it wasn't a gray-breasted martin. Hmm, what was that bird?
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: I'm snowed in and completely bored. I told my wife I was going to put away and work on resorting tons of unfiled records, so now I really have to do it.
	2:57pm northguineahills: Thanks Tony!
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tony! take care bird people, rodents, sea life and others
	2:58pm Psychspaniolos: Thanks a lot Tony good bye all
	2:59pm βrian: I know it was a little bird ...
	2:59pm Tony Coulter: See you, everyone! Thanks for showing up!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: thanks, Tony! See ya!
	3:00pm still b/p: Thanks, Tony.
