Listener comments!
	9:03am melinda: howdy
	9:03am duke: Good morning Jonathan. nice to hear you this AM
	9:04am ben abs: Happy to be tuning in, always a treat to hear Blurred and Obscured on the airwaves!
	9:04am Krys O.: Hello!
	9:06am Vince Nifigance: Always great to have Jonathan back.
	9:07am Yvang: Hello always welcomed blurred and obscured sounds!
	🎙 9:07am Jherweg: Hey everyone ! Good morning ! So glad to be here !
	9:08am fred: Good morning Jonathan, strange to think you're broadcasting while the sun is up
	9:08am Nick S.: Hey, Jonathan! Great set so far. This is one of my favorite Bowie songs.
	9:09am fred: Outside is probably my favorite Bowie record
	9:10am TDK60: Hi DJ JH. Never even heard the Outside album; David left much to peruse.
	9:11am Nick S.: Outside is his best record after Scary Monsters, imo. Black Star was next.
	9:12am Chris from DC: @Nick, I was going to chime n with those two and Low.
	🎙 9:12am Jherweg: I think this is my favorite Bowie album also..
	🎙 9:15am Ken From Hyde Park: Jonathan! It's been too long!
	9:16am Nick S.: The Eno record Nerve Net is an excellent companion to Outside. NN informed Outside in a big way.
	9:18am Chris from DC: Big clicky for Randolph's Going Home.
	9:19am Vince Nifigance: I have a friend from Chicago who said he saw Bowie on the Outside tour, October 1, 1995. The New World Music Amphitheater in the Chicagoland, NIN supported and thousands of NIN fans left before Bowie came on. Imagine. He got to get the best seats in the house after that
	9:19am Monte: Real-Time Listening, so excited! I've got tons of Photoshop work on my plate today, so very happy for the soundtrack
	9:22am steveo: good morning. sounds good to me.
	9:23am TDK60: Nick: Never heard that Eno album either. Lots of stuff of his to still check out too!
	9:25am David Coverdael's Prick: I need a piss
	9:26am steveo: you can have one of mine, David, if you like
	9:28am TDK60: Vince: NIN never moved me in any way, so that's not surprising somehow..
	9:31am ben abs: Isn't XTC perfect pop rock??
	9:33am Diezel Tea: Dammit, gotta leave work. You've been doing fantastically, JH. Best wishes to y'all!
	9:35am Mr.taxi: Cool
	9:37am TDK60: Swindon, Wiltshire's best pop-rock band is...XTC! (was?) hi ben abs!
	9:37am liXiviated life: XTC is sublime pop rock.
	9:37am Chris from DC: Probably will have to catch up with large portions of this on the archive, but great show.
	9:38am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: NIN is kinda a one-trick pony maybe. Bowie is all over the map, IMHO. Kinda like the Beatles. I don't DISLIKE NIN, but I only own one NIN CD because I found it in the basement of a house I bought. However, I did also find Monster Magnet Dopes to Infinity who ARE kind like more metal Led Zeppelin....
	9:40am TDK60: ..often willing to give something another chance (NIN) if pointed in the fun direction...
	9:40am ben abs: Heyo TDK60, XTC definitely still is. I was at Swindon train station last night. Not a particularly inspiring place
	9:40am steveo: this is amazing
	9:42am TDK60: ben abs: I've heard there's a pub in Swindon where XTCer Andy Partridge sometimes sings a few tunes.
	9:45am B/wad: Rainy hello from Tel Aviv Jonathan, ben, TDK. It's a very blurred and obscured day out here....and I dig XTC too
	9:49am ben abs: @TDK - that's very cool! Although, unless it's one of the two pubs opposite the station I will probably never make it there. Hi B/wad
	🎙 9:50am ɨkɛ: As far as I know, NIN is something you appreciate more when you're an angsty, moody, angry and/or depressed teenager or maybe a young adult. That's when that really spoke to me. Their first couple of albums were huge. After that I either grew up too much or they weren't as good anymore.
	9:52am TDK60: I guess, I'd already heard earlier, more "out" noise combos before NIN came long: Hunting Lodge, SPK, Throbbing Gristle.
	9:55am TDK60: ben abs: We could look it up, may be online somewhere as to when/where Andy P stops in for a few ales..
	9:57am ike: Early NIN was really (angry) synth-pop, not much noise (but influenced by Throbbing Gristle for sure).
	9:57am morphe: Thanks JH.. There is? Is there? Are there night and day sounds at FMU??? I can feel that sometimes.. @Steveo: today was the 111 anniversary of the first Manhattan/Bklyn tunnel for the #4/5 trains -1908 cost.05c Great article attached/great site. Thought of you and SpicyTuna: http://hatchingcatnyc.com/2015/01/03/kitten-brought-luck-to-east-river-tunnel/
	🎙 9:59am Jherweg: It depends on what your definition of “is” is . And
	10:00am steveo: thanks morphe. that is cool. i'm also enjoying the macfarlane walking book. that stuff about the broomway is amazing (for the others, there are right-of-ways in England that are basically very shallow parts of the sea).
	10:02am Vince Nifigance: @TDK60 @ɨkɛ I think the Ghosts I-IV stuff is the perfect distillation of what he's capable of, and could be appreciated by people who never really took to NIN.
	10:06am Nick S.: Monster Magnet > NIN
	10:07am destructo: When did Phillip Glass get a drum kit?
	10:08am fleep: I want to greet you like an animal.
	10:09am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: As a hardcore right wing conservative, I can live without some of the overt strangeness of Throbbing Gristle/ Psychic TV. Still, a lot of bands have satanic influence to be sure (even The Beatles put Crowley on the cover of one of their albums, and Jimmy Page OWNED a house previously owned by A.C.) @Nick S: Monster Magnet-Black Sabbath=Rush.
	🎙 10:09am Jherweg: Ha ha I thought the same thing destruco!
	10:10am destructo: He's not half bad!
	10:13am epz: Survey: Which WFMU listeners wish to see the US become a communist country?
	🎙 10:15am Jherweg: Most illegal immigrants flew here in airplanes and overstayed their visas, not sure how a wall helps that?
	10:19am Vince Nifigance: @epz Maybe a socialist country, which is in no way as close to Communism as most Americans interpret it to be.
	10:20am morphe: Phillip Glass got a drum kit when he signed on Mickey Hart???
	10:21am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @epz-LOL. Seriously, have you ever visited or read about what its like to live in a communist country? In Poland, a select few got obscenely rich and drove Mercedes while normal people had to waiting in line for toilet paper, just like in Venezuela now. konicki.com... I think Poland never made it to communism, they only got as far as socialism. Have no illusions, however on paper were are a republic, but in practice are almost a plutocracy. But at least we have toilet paper!
	🎙 10:22am Jherweg: As my Dad always said, if you have a social security card , then you’re a card carrying socialist ..
	10:23am epz: @Neil I am morally very conservative, politically indifferent, but since WFMU listeners appear to be hard-left, I'm just wondering what their ideal US looks like. Your thoughts?
	10:26am morphe: As a person who grew cup in Bklyn from immigrant parents and later carried punk zines and music from A'dam to Berlin and Prague in the late 80s and also school and medical supplies to children in Cuba = both sides are egoistic filthy systems of exploitation!!!
	🎙 10:27am Jherweg: My ideal US looks a lot like Denmark in terms of how wealth is distributed how the country runs its healthcare system and Infrastructure .
	10:28am Harold Hellman: @epz, have you ever seen Escape from New York? Something like that, but not if means we'll eventually have Escape from LA.
	10:28am JakeGould: @Jherweg: Also, Denmark has a lot less ugly people than America. HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE MORNING!!!
	10:28am SSS: To each according to their need..............
	10:29am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @epz: 1. I think we should pull out of all the wars we have going on and take about 80% of the military budget (take it away at a rate of about 10% a year for 8 years) and ramp up spending on space travel to stimulate research and mine asteroids and cool stuff like that. 2. Re-establish trade schools for plumbers, mechanics and other trades, there is a severe shortage. Retrain people who want it. All for free through the public school system. Take a % of that former military budget for that. 3. Flat income tax. The more you make, the same they take. 4. Audit the Fed and then eliminate it, put money in the hands of Congress again. Keep the prime rate low, like around 2%. 5. Give tax breaks to all small businesses with less than 500 employees, they need it. 6. Hire more librarians. Make libraries have extended hours 7 days a week. 7. Allow interstate competition for health insurance. Killing Joke use communism, they say it works for them. I really like their music, so perhaps for groups of ten or less, communism works?
	10:30am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: 8. Go back on a gold standard.
	10:31am morphe: Let us revert to Groucho Marxism... and live in chaotic harmony..
	10:31am JakeGould: 9. Count all stray cats as registered voters.
	10:32am JakeGould: 10. Everyone gets to hang out in a safe, controlled environment with a type of person they hate for 1 hour.
	10:32am Chris from DC: 11. Double the tax credit for donations to WFMU.
	🎙 10:32am Jherweg: A society is only as just or as equitable as how well it treats it’s poorest and weakest. I want less scary angry desperate uneducated people around me, and if that requires the rich pay more in taxes so be it , we are the richest country in the history of world we can’t give basic health care to all our people ? Of course we can, it’s greed that keeping the poorest among us so desperate .
	10:32am JakeGould: 12. CBD oil for all toddlers.
	10:34am morphe: Not to sound like a retired school teacher "[coughing a bit..]I think we've covered that topic for today so lets, don't ye agree, move on to the next topic?"
	10:34am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I'm done.
	10:35am SSS: I think the cats voting should be further investigated
	10:36am morphe: And, to sound sound like a RETIRED SCHOOL TEACHER:"AS JAKE SAID< ANYONE WHO DISAGREES GETS A TBS OF COD LIVER OIL!!!!!"
	10:36am JakeGould: Seriously, I met a “homeless” guy in Union Square a month or so back that was an interesting example. I quote “homeless” because he does have a place to stay. He gets benefits, has a part-time job working at the farmer’s market and has a few other hustles as well. But without revealing his income, in my mind he was basically $500 to $600 a month away from being stable enough to grow out of the mess he’s in. So social welfare works. And anyone saying it doesn’t? It cost thousands of dollars to get a homeless person who is ill to a hospital and cared for. The math works towards giving people better benefits. But nobody acts on that. Oh, this guy was 67 as well. So hey… It’s all effed up.
	10:38am JakeGould: 13. Smacks in the heads to all fools.
	10:38am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: To be fair, I WAS ASKED for this information.
	10:39am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I love all of you.
	10:39am Stephen_Kang: Hello from Canada!!
	10:39am Brendan: 14. More tater tots in the lunch tray. Oh and reinstate mini pizza bites or taco niblets on Friday
	10:40am Vince Nifigance: Maybe if left and right wing flap together you can really go somewhere.
	10:40am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I love tater tots also.
	10:40am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This sounds like Dirty Beaches.
	10:41am SSS: I will tell you one thing, the CATS say yes to the cod liver oil
	10:41am JakeGould: 15. Taco trucks on every corner.
	10:41am Oregon Seth: Haha pinko commie! Love the drone stuff I feel like I’m listening to Fabio!
	10:42am Chris from DC: This Nemecek thing is great. Wow.
	10:42am morphe: I like Stephen_Kang's: approach!!!!
	🎙 10:44am ɨkɛ: I actually really love Jake's "Everyone gets to hang out in a safe, controlled environment with a type of person they hate for 1 hour" one. In the far-distant future the government and/or NGOs will give you extra donuts and/or hard-drive space in the cloud if you do this because it will help with social cohesion.
	10:44am cklequ: I missed the conversation. Do cats finally have the vote?
	10:45am βrian: @ɨkɛ: I will not hang out with Don Felder.
	10:46am meghan: This show is awesome! Thank you!!! How often does it air?
	10:47am Nasty Les: That Jan Nemecek was very nice, and reminded me a lot of Abul Mogard. They are both (apparently) from Belgrade so given the questions over Abul Mogard's real identity I couldn't help trying to join the dots :-D
	10:47am Vince Nifigance: @meghan Write your congressman (Station Manager) and demand he bring Jonathan back!
	🎙 10:48am Jherweg: Meghan , I’m just filling in , but I have a lot of recent archives if you’d like to hear more of my show.
	🎙 10:49am Jherweg: Interesting Nasty Les.
	🎙 10:50am ɨkɛ: @βrian, good point. I hadn't thought of that horrifying risk. Neither will I. We'll just have to do without the extra cloud petabytes for backups of our uploaded consciousness.
	10:52am JakeGould: Also, I did not recommend cod liver oil. That crap (ha!) is a violent way of treating constipation and was a kinda nasty joke in old “Little Rascals” shorts. And—if I recall correctly—Italian fascists punished political prisoners by force feeding them cod liver oil so their whole bowels would be a disaster.
	10:52am Vince Nifigance: @IKE Japanese Made Fish Brain USB Flash Drive Explained - www.tech-critter.com... www.tech-critter.com...
	10:56am JakeGould: @Ike: Now that I think about it, that “1 hour with someone you hate…” idea sounds like some Robert Heinlein bullshit. So I am not for it.
	10:58am Brendan: This music makes Spock irrationally horny
	10:58am I am the Upsetter: So where can my cat register to vote? Does he just go to my local library?
	10:59am I am the Upsetter: Alway great to hear you on the internet Jonathan.
	10:59am βrian: Trying to wrap my mind around the idea of being rationally horny, by contrast ...
	11:00am JakeGould: Give your pet a human name and somehow get them on mailing lists… Then just wait and your cat and/or dog can be consumer!
	11:00am Nymor: Cod liver oil is vile - was a period as a kid when I got a spoonful of it a day - in a time before stomach soluble capsules. Also had malt and molasses which thankfully took some of the taste away.
	11:01am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Jake Gould-I lived in a rooming house in Buffalo for awhile. I think it was $75 a week, communal bathroom. I think I had a room that was 10'x 8' with a sloping ceiling and a 1 foot x 1 foot skylight for illumination. No fridge. So lotsa canned food for me. I had a car too. And a job after awhile.
	11:01am zopa: Like the textures in Tempus Instat
	11:02am JakeGould: @WildNeil: And with an extra social assistance boost you could have gotten back in gear sooner and better. You ever look at someone sleeping on a park bench or sidewalk and just rationally think about how their day/night must be?
	11:04am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Jake-I got $400 a week Unemployement Insurance. That helped immensely. I paid into it, so I figured I should use it.
	11:04am βrian: Unenjoyment, as it's also known.
	11:05am JakeGould: @WildNeil: Fair enough.
	11:05am βrian: What's this mattress music, anyway?
	11:07am JakeGould: @Jherweg: Your bed music makes me feel I should be asleep already. Which is fine by me during the day!
	11:16am zopa: Robotic Flying Insects!
	11:19am βrian: 14 degrees here this morning. Yikes.
	11:20am steveo: kelvin?
	11:23am βrian: Neither kelvin nor calvin. Good ole 'murcin Fahrenheit.
	11:25am steveo: ah, so not too bad, then :)
	11:26am βrian: Lovely listening, Jonathan. Now meetings call.
	11:27am Ghetto Pastrami: any ideas to help me avoid an office meeting so I can continue sitting here listening to music?
	11:28am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @GP-fake a heart attack? Wait for 911 while you sit at your desk?
	11:28am Jeff Moore: Apropos of not much of the current discussion: I've been enjoying this show WHATEVER time of the day on. Thanks, Jonathan.
	11:29am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Mind Machine is super trippy. Wow.
	11:30am morphe: Jake: that is CASTOR OIL -for diahera and torture on ice cube blocks Cod Liver Oil was/is given to poor children for protein: Ireland & UK were big fans..Protein but tastes horrible!!! I thought you wrote CLO... Sorry ...Murphy
	11:32am morphe: Ghetto Pastrami: ICAPEC and vomit on the floor in front of the meeting room.. HURRY!!!!!
	11:34am JakeGould: @morphe: Okay, but children should be given CBD oil if they act up. It‘s more of a body high.
	11:39am morphe: Thanks JH = hopefully Herr Friedman will not blame you for the politicization of the listeners!!! What are you doing 2019-2020????
	11:41am destructo: Great show, thanks!
	11:44am Passaic River Blues: Scott played a track off this "Abandonnée" record on Monday, I believe. Really enjoy a good hurdy-gurdy drone march to Pleasure Island.
	11:45am Brendan: This show is a quality product. I would definite consume it again.
	11:46am ben abs: Thanks JH, great show
	11:47am fred: Stupid meeting made me miss a chunk of the show
	🎙 11:48am ɛɨk: @Jake, so are Irish children tastier if roasted before or after given CBD oil? Thanks JH!
	🎙 11:48am Jherweg: Thanks everybody, it was so much fun!!
	11:49am JakeGould: THANK YOU!!!
	11:51am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This La Téne sounds a lot like Velvet Underground. Or vice-versa?
	11:51am Doobois: Fantastic set, man. It made my morning.
	11:52am Passaic River Blues: I had to dip in and out of the show due to personal exigencies stemming from the demands of late capitalism, but I loved what I was able to hear. Excellent programming, Herr Herweg!
	11:52am hello: I am so impressed with this station, consider better then pandora and Spotify and on par with radio paradise
	11:54am morphe: Fred, next time use the ICAPEC!!! 20-30 minutes before. It makes a spectacular show... They will not want you in the meeting.. Thanks again JH..
	11:54am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @hello-I concluded the same thing re:pandora a long long time ago BECAUSE you can only select the bands you already know and cannot predict new bands from different genres picked by a human instead of a machine. OF course there will be some music you hate too. I listen to shows I normally hate because 10% of the time I will LIKE it>
	11:54am Rich in Washington: Hey, Jonathan! Great to hear you on the air this morning!
	11:55am blee: This show is WOW!
	11:56am fred: @morphe: that was a conference call
	11:57am steveo: thanks jonathan! great show.
	11:58am fred: @Wild Neil: La Tène are recent, but inspired by old music from central france (and maybe VU, why not)
	11:58am fred: Thanks Jonathan!
	11:58am morphe: Fred. oooppppsss!!! do not vomit onto the phone - messy cleanup, all those crevices!!!
	🎙 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Funny how your show followed Mary Wing's for a time and today her show follows yours (on the Drummer stream).

An underground journey through the history of psychedelic rock, modern music, shimmering noise, free jazz, punk, funk, children's records played at the wrong speed, tape cut-up, static, the composition of decomposition, and subversive spoken word.

	9:04am ben abs: Happy to be tuning in, always a treat to hear Blurred and Obscured on the airwaves!

	9:08am Nick S.: Hey, Jonathan! Great set so far. This is one of my favorite Bowie songs.
	9:09am fred: Outside is probably my favorite Bowie record
	9:10am TDK60: Hi DJ JH. Never even heard the Outside album; David left much to peruse.
	9:11am Nick S.: Outside is his best record after Scary Monsters, imo. Black Star was next.

	🎙 9:12am Jherweg: I think this is my favorite Bowie album also..

	9:16am Nick S.: The Eno record Nerve Net is an excellent companion to Outside. NN informed Outside in a big way.
	9:18am Chris from DC: Big clicky for Randolph's Going Home.
	9:19am Vince Nifigance: I have a friend from Chicago who said he saw Bowie on the Outside tour, October 1, 1995. The New World Music Amphitheater in the Chicagoland, NIN supported and thousands of NIN fans left before Bowie came on. Imagine. He got to get the best seats in the house after that
	9:19am Monte: Real-Time Listening, so excited! I've got tons of Photoshop work on my plate today, so very happy for the soundtrack
	9:22am steveo: good morning. sounds good to me.

	9:37am TDK60: Swindon, Wiltshire's best pop-rock band is...XTC! (was?) hi ben abs!
	9:37am liXiviated life: XTC is sublime pop rock.
	9:37am Chris from DC: Probably will have to catch up with large portions of this on the archive, but great show.
	9:38am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: NIN is kinda a one-trick pony maybe. Bowie is all over the map, IMHO. Kinda like the Beatles. I don't DISLIKE NIN, but I only own one NIN CD because I found it in the basement of a house I bought. However, I did also find Monster Magnet Dopes to Infinity who ARE kind like more metal Led Zeppelin....
	9:40am TDK60: ..often willing to give something another chance (NIN) if pointed in the fun direction...
	9:40am ben abs: Heyo TDK60, XTC definitely still is. I was at Swindon train station last night. Not a particularly inspiring place
	9:40am steveo: this is amazing
	9:42am TDK60: ben abs: I've heard there's a pub in Swindon where XTCer Andy Partridge sometimes sings a few tunes.
	9:45am B/wad: Rainy hello from Tel Aviv Jonathan, ben, TDK. It's a very blurred and obscured day out here....and I dig XTC too
	9:49am ben abs: @TDK - that's very cool! Although, unless it's one of the two pubs opposite the station I will probably never make it there. Hi B/wad
	🎙 9:50am ɨkɛ: As far as I know, NIN is something you appreciate more when you're an angsty, moody, angry and/or depressed teenager or maybe a young adult. That's when that really spoke to me. Their first couple of albums were huge. After that I either grew up too much or they weren't as good anymore.
	9:52am TDK60: I guess, I'd already heard earlier, more "out" noise combos before NIN came long: Hunting Lodge, SPK, Throbbing Gristle.
	9:55am TDK60: ben abs: We could look it up, may be online somewhere as to when/where Andy P stops in for a few ales..
	9:57am ike: Early NIN was really (angry) synth-pop, not much noise (but influenced by Throbbing Gristle for sure).
	9:57am morphe: Thanks JH.. There is? Is there? Are there night and day sounds at FMU??? I can feel that sometimes.. @Steveo: today was the 111 anniversary of the first Manhattan/Bklyn tunnel for the #4/5 trains -1908 cost.05c Great article attached/great site. Thought of you and SpicyTuna: http://hatchingcatnyc.com/2015/01/03/kitten-brought-luck-to-east-river-tunnel/
	🎙 9:59am Jherweg: It depends on what your definition of “is” is . And
	10:00am steveo: thanks morphe. that is cool. i'm also enjoying the macfarlane walking book. that stuff about the broomway is amazing (for the others, there are right-of-ways in England that are basically very shallow parts of the sea).
	10:02am Vince Nifigance: @TDK60 @ɨkɛ I think the Ghosts I-IV stuff is the perfect distillation of what he's capable of, and could be appreciated by people who never really took to NIN.
	10:06am Nick S.: Monster Magnet > NIN
	10:07am destructo: When did Phillip Glass get a drum kit?
	10:08am fleep: I want to greet you like an animal.
	10:09am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: As a hardcore right wing conservative, I can live without some of the overt strangeness of Throbbing Gristle/ Psychic TV. Still, a lot of bands have satanic influence to be sure (even The Beatles put Crowley on the cover of one of their albums, and Jimmy Page OWNED a house previously owned by A.C.) @Nick S: Monster Magnet-Black Sabbath=Rush.
	🎙 10:09am Jherweg: Ha ha I thought the same thing destruco!
	10:10am destructo: He's not half bad!
	10:13am epz: Survey: Which WFMU listeners wish to see the US become a communist country?
	🎙 10:15am Jherweg: Most illegal immigrants flew here in airplanes and overstayed their visas, not sure how a wall helps that?
	10:19am Vince Nifigance: @epz Maybe a socialist country, which is in no way as close to Communism as most Americans interpret it to be.
	10:20am morphe: Phillip Glass got a drum kit when he signed on Mickey Hart???
	10:21am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @epz-LOL. Seriously, have you ever visited or read about what its like to live in a communist country? In Poland, a select few got obscenely rich and drove Mercedes while normal people had to waiting in line for toilet paper, just like in Venezuela now. konicki.com... I think Poland never made it to communism, they only got as far as socialism. Have no illusions, however on paper were are a republic, but in practice are almost a plutocracy. But at least we have toilet paper!
	🎙 10:22am Jherweg: As my Dad always said, if you have a social security card , then you’re a card carrying socialist ..
	10:23am epz: @Neil I am morally very conservative, politically indifferent, but since WFMU listeners appear to be hard-left, I'm just wondering what their ideal US looks like. Your thoughts?
	10:26am morphe: As a person who grew cup in Bklyn from immigrant parents and later carried punk zines and music from A'dam to Berlin and Prague in the late 80s and also school and medical supplies to children in Cuba = both sides are egoistic filthy systems of exploitation!!!
	🎙 10:27am Jherweg: My ideal US looks a lot like Denmark in terms of how wealth is distributed how the country runs its healthcare system and Infrastructure .
	10:28am Harold Hellman: @epz, have you ever seen Escape from New York? Something like that, but not if means we'll eventually have Escape from LA.
	10:28am JakeGould: @Jherweg: Also, Denmark has a lot less ugly people than America. HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE MORNING!!!
	10:28am SSS: To each according to their need..............
	10:29am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @epz: 1. I think we should pull out of all the wars we have going on and take about 80% of the military budget (take it away at a rate of about 10% a year for 8 years) and ramp up spending on space travel to stimulate research and mine asteroids and cool stuff like that. 2. Re-establish trade schools for plumbers, mechanics and other trades, there is a severe shortage. Retrain people who want it. All for free through the public school system. Take a % of that former military budget for that. 3. Flat income tax. The more you make, the same they take. 4. Audit the Fed and then eliminate it, put money in the hands of Congress again. Keep the prime rate low, like around 2%. 5. Give tax breaks to all small businesses with less than 500 employees, they need it. 6. Hire more librarians. Make libraries have extended hours 7 days a week. 7. Allow interstate competition for health insurance. Killing Joke use communism, they say it works for them. I really like their music, so perhaps for groups of ten or less, communism works?
	10:30am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: 8. Go back on a gold standard.
	10:31am morphe: Let us revert to Groucho Marxism... and live in chaotic harmony..
	10:31am JakeGould: 9. Count all stray cats as registered voters.
	10:32am JakeGould: 10. Everyone gets to hang out in a safe, controlled environment with a type of person they hate for 1 hour.
	10:32am Chris from DC: 11. Double the tax credit for donations to WFMU.
	🎙 10:32am Jherweg: A society is only as just or as equitable as how well it treats it’s poorest and weakest. I want less scary angry desperate uneducated people around me, and if that requires the rich pay more in taxes so be it , we are the richest country in the history of world we can’t give basic health care to all our people ? Of course we can, it’s greed that keeping the poorest among us so desperate .
	10:32am JakeGould: 12. CBD oil for all toddlers.
	10:34am morphe: Not to sound like a retired school teacher "[coughing a bit..]I think we've covered that topic for today so lets, don't ye agree, move on to the next topic?"
	10:34am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I'm done.
	10:35am SSS: I think the cats voting should be further investigated
	10:36am morphe: And, to sound sound like a RETIRED SCHOOL TEACHER:"AS JAKE SAID< ANYONE WHO DISAGREES GETS A TBS OF COD LIVER OIL!!!!!"
	10:36am JakeGould: Seriously, I met a “homeless” guy in Union Square a month or so back that was an interesting example. I quote “homeless” because he does have a place to stay. He gets benefits, has a part-time job working at the farmer’s market and has a few other hustles as well. But without revealing his income, in my mind he was basically $500 to $600 a month away from being stable enough to grow out of the mess he’s in. So social welfare works. And anyone saying it doesn’t? It cost thousands of dollars to get a homeless person who is ill to a hospital and cared for. The math works towards giving people better benefits. But nobody acts on that. Oh, this guy was 67 as well. So hey… It’s all effed up.
	10:38am JakeGould: 13. Smacks in the heads to all fools.
	10:38am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: To be fair, I WAS ASKED for this information.
	10:39am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I love all of you.
	10:39am Stephen_Kang: Hello from Canada!!
	10:39am Brendan: 14. More tater tots in the lunch tray. Oh and reinstate mini pizza bites or taco niblets on Friday
	10:40am Vince Nifigance: Maybe if left and right wing flap together you can really go somewhere.
	10:40am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I love tater tots also.
	10:40am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This sounds like Dirty Beaches.
	10:41am SSS: I will tell you one thing, the CATS say yes to the cod liver oil
	10:41am JakeGould: 15. Taco trucks on every corner.
	10:41am Oregon Seth: Haha pinko commie! Love the drone stuff I feel like I’m listening to Fabio!
	10:42am Chris from DC: This Nemecek thing is great. Wow.
	10:42am morphe: I like Stephen_Kang's: approach!!!!
	🎙 10:44am ɨkɛ: I actually really love Jake's "Everyone gets to hang out in a safe, controlled environment with a type of person they hate for 1 hour" one. In the far-distant future the government and/or NGOs will give you extra donuts and/or hard-drive space in the cloud if you do this because it will help with social cohesion.
	10:44am cklequ: I missed the conversation. Do cats finally have the vote?
	10:45am βrian: @ɨkɛ: I will not hang out with Don Felder.
	10:46am meghan: This show is awesome! Thank you!!! How often does it air?
	10:47am Nasty Les: That Jan Nemecek was very nice, and reminded me a lot of Abul Mogard. They are both (apparently) from Belgrade so given the questions over Abul Mogard's real identity I couldn't help trying to join the dots :-D
	10:47am Vince Nifigance: @meghan Write your congressman (Station Manager) and demand he bring Jonathan back!
	🎙 10:48am Jherweg: Meghan , I’m just filling in , but I have a lot of recent archives if you’d like to hear more of my show.
	🎙 10:49am Jherweg: Interesting Nasty Les.
	🎙 10:50am ɨkɛ: @βrian, good point. I hadn't thought of that horrifying risk. Neither will I. We'll just have to do without the extra cloud petabytes for backups of our uploaded consciousness.
	10:52am JakeGould: Also, I did not recommend cod liver oil. That crap (ha!) is a violent way of treating constipation and was a kinda nasty joke in old “Little Rascals” shorts. And—if I recall correctly—Italian fascists punished political prisoners by force feeding them cod liver oil so their whole bowels would be a disaster.
	10:52am Vince Nifigance: @IKE Japanese Made Fish Brain USB Flash Drive Explained - www.tech-critter.com... www.tech-critter.com...
	10:56am JakeGould: @Ike: Now that I think about it, that “1 hour with someone you hate…” idea sounds like some Robert Heinlein bullshit. So I am not for it.
	10:58am Brendan: This music makes Spock irrationally horny
	10:58am I am the Upsetter: So where can my cat register to vote? Does he just go to my local library?
	10:59am I am the Upsetter: Alway great to hear you on the internet Jonathan.
	10:59am βrian: Trying to wrap my mind around the idea of being rationally horny, by contrast ...
	11:00am JakeGould: Give your pet a human name and somehow get them on mailing lists… Then just wait and your cat and/or dog can be consumer!
	11:00am Nymor: Cod liver oil is vile - was a period as a kid when I got a spoonful of it a day - in a time before stomach soluble capsules. Also had malt and molasses which thankfully took some of the taste away.
	11:01am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Jake Gould-I lived in a rooming house in Buffalo for awhile. I think it was $75 a week, communal bathroom. I think I had a room that was 10'x 8' with a sloping ceiling and a 1 foot x 1 foot skylight for illumination. No fridge. So lotsa canned food for me. I had a car too. And a job after awhile.
	11:01am zopa: Like the textures in Tempus Instat
	11:02am JakeGould: @WildNeil: And with an extra social assistance boost you could have gotten back in gear sooner and better. You ever look at someone sleeping on a park bench or sidewalk and just rationally think about how their day/night must be?
	11:04am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Jake-I got $400 a week Unemployement Insurance. That helped immensely. I paid into it, so I figured I should use it.
	11:04am βrian: Unenjoyment, as it's also known.
	11:05am JakeGould: @WildNeil: Fair enough.
	11:05am βrian: What's this mattress music, anyway?
	11:07am JakeGould: @Jherweg: Your bed music makes me feel I should be asleep already. Which is fine by me during the day!
	11:16am zopa: Robotic Flying Insects!
	11:19am βrian: 14 degrees here this morning. Yikes.
	11:20am steveo: kelvin?
	11:23am βrian: Neither kelvin nor calvin. Good ole 'murcin Fahrenheit.
	11:25am steveo: ah, so not too bad, then :)
	11:26am βrian: Lovely listening, Jonathan. Now meetings call.
	11:27am Ghetto Pastrami: any ideas to help me avoid an office meeting so I can continue sitting here listening to music?
	11:28am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @GP-fake a heart attack? Wait for 911 while you sit at your desk?
	11:28am Jeff Moore: Apropos of not much of the current discussion: I've been enjoying this show WHATEVER time of the day on. Thanks, Jonathan.
	11:29am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Mind Machine is super trippy. Wow.
	11:30am morphe: Jake: that is CASTOR OIL -for diahera and torture on ice cube blocks Cod Liver Oil was/is given to poor children for protein: Ireland & UK were big fans..Protein but tastes horrible!!! I thought you wrote CLO... Sorry ...Murphy
	11:32am morphe: Ghetto Pastrami: ICAPEC and vomit on the floor in front of the meeting room.. HURRY!!!!!
	11:34am JakeGould: @morphe: Okay, but children should be given CBD oil if they act up. It‘s more of a body high.
	11:39am morphe: Thanks JH = hopefully Herr Friedman will not blame you for the politicization of the listeners!!! What are you doing 2019-2020????
	11:41am destructo: Great show, thanks!
	11:44am Passaic River Blues: Scott played a track off this "Abandonnée" record on Monday, I believe. Really enjoy a good hurdy-gurdy drone march to Pleasure Island.
	11:45am Brendan: This show is a quality product. I would definite consume it again.
	11:46am ben abs: Thanks JH, great show
	11:47am fred: Stupid meeting made me miss a chunk of the show
	🎙 11:48am ɛɨk: @Jake, so are Irish children tastier if roasted before or after given CBD oil? Thanks JH!
	🎙 11:48am Jherweg: Thanks everybody, it was so much fun!!
	11:49am JakeGould: THANK YOU!!!
	11:51am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This La Téne sounds a lot like Velvet Underground. Or vice-versa?
	11:51am Doobois: Fantastic set, man. It made my morning.
	11:52am Passaic River Blues: I had to dip in and out of the show due to personal exigencies stemming from the demands of late capitalism, but I loved what I was able to hear. Excellent programming, Herr Herweg!
	11:52am hello: I am so impressed with this station, consider better then pandora and Spotify and on par with radio paradise
	11:54am morphe: Fred, next time use the ICAPEC!!! 20-30 minutes before. It makes a spectacular show... They will not want you in the meeting.. Thanks again JH..
	11:54am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @hello-I concluded the same thing re:pandora a long long time ago BECAUSE you can only select the bands you already know and cannot predict new bands from different genres picked by a human instead of a machine. OF course there will be some music you hate too. I listen to shows I normally hate because 10% of the time I will LIKE it>
	11:54am Rich in Washington: Hey, Jonathan! Great to hear you on the air this morning!
	11:55am blee: This show is WOW!
	11:56am fred: @morphe: that was a conference call
	11:57am steveo: thanks jonathan! great show.
	11:58am fred: @Wild Neil: La Tène are recent, but inspired by old music from central france (and maybe VU, why not)
	11:58am fred: Thanks Jonathan!
	11:58am morphe: Fred. oooppppsss!!! do not vomit onto the phone - messy cleanup, all those crevices!!!
	🎙 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Funny how your show followed Mary Wing's for a time and today her show follows yours (on the Drummer stream).
