Listener comments!
	👻 9:06am karlward: You know it.
	9:07am George of Troy: Hey JA
	9:08am steveo: good morning. not going to say anything dumb this week.
	9:10am John Allen: 'morning all!
	9:11am karen eliot: Good morning! Headphones work.
	9:14am Chris from DC: Headphones failed. Office door closed. Proceed.
	9:15am The Oscar: I work in an open office. If my headphones ever died, I'd have to call in sick.
	👻 9:16am Ken From Hyde Park: Little Suzie is going to be sleeping into December at this rate.
	9:17am Chris from DC: @Oscar, yeah I could totally see that.
	9:19am northguineahills: I always have back-up hedfons and redundancies at my work station so there are multiple ways to plug in (usually, I use my phone).
	9:20am TheLoneliestMonk: @NGH ever invest in a halfway decent bluetooth speaker?
	9:23am Aaron Working In Newark: Digging this vibe.
	9:27am Linda Lee: beautiful set so far Mr. Allen. thank you
	9:27am northguineahills: @TheLoneliesMonk: I usually use Bluetooth headphones, but occasionally, the battery dies. I have a private office, but my boss comes in and out frequently.
	9:27am karen eliot: favorite headphones? i’m not an audiophile snob and not very knowledgeable. i like my bottom of the line sennheiser- bluetooth. rugged and hold a good charge.
	9:29am karen eliot: Sound great too!
	9:30am Chris from DC: Rugged is my main requirement right now. I'm tired of them crapping out after a few months. I may try sennheiser.
	9:30am Alan: Karen, I just bought $99 Senneheiser Bluetooth and $85 Trenlab bluetooth headphones
	9:31am Alan: Hopefully those will be good. I like both brands.
	9:32am Alan: I also have $30 TrebLab in ear headphones. I like the brand. Reliable and holds a good charge
	9:34am steveo: subtle piece
	9:35am karen eliot: @alan nice! which ones sound better? had the audio technica Bluetooth.they broke 3x in the first year. sounded a bit better but made poorly.
	9:42am TheLoneliestMonk: @NGH i don't like giving money to amazon, but due to the huge variance in audio quality of most podcasts, i bought one of those small Anker speakers, mostly because of the reported battery life. was pleasantly surprised by the quality of sound
	9:43am Chris from DC: Symphonized sound great for the price but just don't hold up over time.
	9:43am TheLoneliestMonk: @NGH oh, and it's def small enough to stash in your desk in a hurry!
	9:46am Rev. Turnip Druid: fokes.
	9:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: headphones? eegad. Last time I shopped around, couldn't stand how everything seemed to be either too flat or too artificially bass-y. Best compromise seemed to be the Bowers & Wilkins ones found at apple stores; cloth pads = comfortable as well. Not cheap, but it's a medical/mental necessity..
	👻 9:53am adampsyche: hey i thought of this show when i saw this: twitter.com...
	9:53am Rev. Turnip Druid: & in-ear options are never an option.
	👻 9:54am adampsyche: Steve Reich: "oh hey a musical idea" Steve Reich's brain: don't phase it don't phase it don't phase it on't phase itd n't phase itdo 't phase itdon t phase itdon' phase it don't hase itdon't p ase itdon't ph se itdon't pha e itdon't phas it don't phase t don't phasei
	9:55am TomDash: Ahh yes...The Stallion with my morning coffee. Thanks John!
	9:56am Andy (DC): This is why I like WFMU ... a song suddenly crops up that you never heard ... and it's great. Can someone tell me about "The Stallion"?
	9:57am Chris from DC: Mick!!
	9:58am blanken: The Stallion: was that a cover of some song from The Wall. Was it "The Newbridge Wall"?
	10:01am TomDash: Hey Andy (DC) - The Stallion is Ben Wallers and one other member of UK band Country Teasers - they did a triple LP version of Pink Floyd's The Wall last year that is quite an achievement to say the least...Dark Side Of The Wall. Brings back sense memories of the original carpeted all over the radio back in the day...
	10:02am steveo: But in the town it was well known When they got home at night, their fat and Psychopathic wives would thrash them Within inches of their lives
	10:06am Chris from DC: Good choice of cover, peak Minutemen.
	👻 10:06am karlward: I loved this Minutemen cover from the third second.
	👻 10:06am adampsyche: THIS SONG
	10:07am steveo: i loved it from before i knew it was a minuteman cover
	👻 10:08am Rob (Jerzcity): loved it with d.boon yelling all over the place, but this is pretty grand as well
	👻 10:08am karlward: I loved it in 1962.
	10:14am TheLoneliestMonk: never heard television sound like a generic southern rock band. i hope they were REALLY F'd up when they performed this
	10:15am blanken: i remember this from old tape on ROIR
	10:17am steveo: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	10:18am Andy (DC): Thank you TomDash!
	10:25am northguineahills: The owls are not what they seem.....
	10:31am blanken: nice. ac marias! i love that whole album.
	10:34am karen eliot: bowers & wilkins. would bust my earphone budget. the store on 46th has great service and choices.
	10:42am Passaic River Blues: This is amazing lo-fi lady muezzin gypsy space fuzz.
	11:00am JakeGould: Apropos to nothing, but does any DJ on WFMU play Christmas reggae? Thank you in advance!
	11:02am steveo: found a sarge set wfmu.org...
	11:03am steveo: & maybe some others googling [wfmu playlist christmas reggae]
	11:06am coelacanth∅: i'd be surprised if Jeff Sarge doesn't play xmas songs every year. ...you could search for individual albums -like "taxi christmas" etc
	11:06am coelacanth∅: hey John & others
	11:09am karen eliot: saw annette in 2013. part of an exhibit. have a great time.
	11:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: bowers & wilkins definitely not cheap. had to do battle with many internal $$ demons for that, & had to conclude that as many hours a week as I use 'phones, it's almost like a medical necessity.
	11:15am Rev. Turnip Druid: Also: shocking how bad many other ones (that are just as expensive) are, in sound quality. ... The whole market is saturated with wretched dog poo, sadly.
	11:19am coelacanth∅: oh i sure don't like wretched dog poo. i'm not even sure i like regular dog poo that much.
	11:20am Chris from DC: My problem is that they don't last that long. It's almost not worth paying more for sound quality when they give out after a short time. I guess I'd pay more for something I know is built like a tank at this point.
	11:24am coelacanth∅: my ancient koss still sound good, after 40 years. not great, but as phones are unjustifiably expensive now they sound good enough. i mostly listen via large (also old) loudspeakers anyway.
	11:30am Rev. Turnip Druid: totally dig, CfDC. These 'phones at least have a removable/replaceable cable .. & that's the thing that fails most often; so I've ordered a couple spares. Living without 'phones is a human-rights violation. Power to the people.
	11:30am Rev. Turnip Druid: also: too many meetings today. Missing everything. Punching self repeatedly.... innaface...
	11:33am Booz: floating, TURBULENCE, floating, floating. . .
	11:34am karen eliot: @ Druid I agree. Mine are a bit tinny. So much crap out there! have a safe and crap free weekend everyone!
	11:36am ɛɨk: Lovely sounds! Also, there was a jackass on the PATH train playing his music out loud today. I'm never sure whether or not to say something. Then we're kinda both jackasses. Fortunately someone else spoke up first, and then of course I just confused the hell out of the guy who spoke up when he didn't understand what I said when I tried to back him up. Jackass chaos.
	11:39am ɛɨk: What I mean is: Headphones, headphones, headphones! Maybe even have a backup pair on ya!
	11:42am karen eliot: let me leave you with Christmas tree eyebrows. https://www.boredpanda.com/christmas-tree-eyebrows-taytay_xx/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic
	11:43am coelacanth∅: i rarely listen to (my own source) music in public. i have music in my head. but i can't imagine enjoying music coming out of a little funkbox or whatever - even if it's a good one.
	11:44am rsj: lots of that on bikes thanks to bluetooth speakers, usually accompanied and overshadowed by a hairy plumber backside
	11:49am Mike tp: I like Milford N Ed Blackwell a lot
	11:57am Booz: I gotta find a way to see Full Mantis. Thanks for the clip.
	12:00pm steveo: thank you, john; you are a treasure
	12:03pm John Allen: bye everybody!!
	12:05pm coelacanth∅: Thanks John Allen
	12:06pm Bjarne: thank you and bye bye
	12:12pm Question mark: what's this last track?
	12:19pm Question mark: wfmu is stuck in a german sci-fi limbo

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from November 30, 2018

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)
