Listener comments!
	9:02pm JakeGould: Hey!
	🌫 9:04pm chresti: Der Wunder Blumins hello!
	9:04pm ultradamno: A baby carriage, small dinghy having a flat, snub-nosed bow or "prom" spoken with a thick accent?
	9:04pm TDK60: Just came thru my front door, sat down, turned a computer on, and signed in. Now, what do I do?
	9:07pm fleep: Good evening
	9:08pm spodiodi: hello
	9:08pm JakeGould: Tomorrow is the shortest and darkest day of the year.
	9:09pm ultradamno: The days have seemed shorter and darker for a couple of years now.
	9:11pm JakeGould: God do I hate this time of year. At least I have Baby Yoda and rereading J.G. Ballard to cheer me up.
	9:11pm listener 126464: day after tomorrow is longer and a bit lighter
	9:12pm listener 126464: not a bic lighter
	9:13pm JakeGould: In classic film noir smoking is so sophisticated. Not like in the modern world: Just Bic lighters.
	9:13pm ultradamno: Is baby even the appropriate word for that thing? It looks like an amphibious hatchling of some sort.
	9:14pm JakeGould: Baby Yoda is great. I feel genuine joy and wonder in seeing that thing on par with how I felt discovering the original “Star Wars” as a kid in the 1970s.
	9:15pm ultradamno: Was that the movie with the space gorilla?
	9:15pm JakeGould: Werner Herzog loves Baby Yoda.
	9:16pm ultradamno: Herzog thinks being shot with an air rifle is a compliment from fate.
	9:17pm JakeGould: Werner Herzog loves cat videos as well, “When you are really down, you better switch on your laptop or smartphone and watch 60 seconds of crazy cat videos.” www.buzzfeednews.com...
	9:18pm JakeGould: In honor of Hanukkah (starts Sunday) here is a cat versus a menorah. media1.tenor.com...
	9:19pm Daniel Blumin: JakeG, chresti, ultrad, TDK, fleep, spodiodi, listener 126464, and the lurkah holidaymakers, all hail!
	9:19pm jenni: screw star wars....put the hidden fortress on a video loop...much better...
	9:20pm ultradamno: I have to assume he sees the inevitable cruelty of nature mocking the struggles of mammalian in every depiction of feline buffoonery. It is mirthful but also devastatingly tragic.
	9:20pm spodiodi: for heaven's sake, i hope baby yoda is ok
	9:21pm ultradamno: mammalian...hubris, that is. Obviously.
	9:23pm Daniel Blumin: jenni! I'll have to check that out!
	9:23pm JakeGould: @spodiodi: Amazing how much this series makes you care about puppets and other characters getting hurt.
	9:25pm JakeGould: @Daniel: The nice thing about “The Mandalorian” is how it shows imperials and oher jerks truly being brutal and cruel to the defenseless. Doesn’t dance around the brutality like the films…
	9:28pm spodiodi: yes indeed, JakeGould. i'd say more but i don't wanna ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it
	9:28pm ultradamno: Isn't mandalorian some kind of luxurious car seat leather the imperial leader of fantasy island used to get worked up about?
	9:29pm TDK60: This is from a 2019 cassette.
	9:29pm ultradamno: Montalbálorian
	9:30pm spodiodi: James T. says don't trust him
	9:33pm JakeGould: Ruth Anderson obit here. R.I.P. www.nytimes.com...
	🌫 9:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Doesn't it have something to do with fractals?
	9:36pm ultradamno: Obit at Art Daily, for non subscribers artdaily.com...
	9:36pm spodiodi: you may be confusing it with Mandelbratwurst, KenFHP
	9:36pm spodiodi: delicious
	9:37pm spodiodi: thanks for the links
	9:37pm ann: happy birthday billy bragg...maybe not as cool...but back in 83_84 he was pretty innovative...a new england is still a classic...tank park salute is one of the most beautiful songs ever heard...
	🌫 9:38pm chresti: Haha Ultradamno.
	9:38pm ultradamno: He took a great leap forward.
	🌫 9:40pm Aitch: All very bent so far Prof Blumin. Tally ho.
	9:45pm TDK60: I knew not about Ruth Anderson before. WFMU can be educational even while I'm partying up a storm here at the crib.
	9:49pm coelacanth∅))): greetings Daniel & Blumineccowafers
	9:49pm ultradamno: Speaking of funny cat videos, I keep going back to this thing trying to decide if there's shenanigans at play twitter.com...
	9:52pm coelacanth∅))): cat faces added later. i wonder what the cats were really reacting to.
	9:54pm Daniel Blumin: Greetings, coela! Thanks, Aitch! All the holiday best tonight!
	🌫 9:55pm chresti: A dog?@coel
	9:55pm coelacanth∅))): ann Billy Bragg is an excellent human bean
	9:58pm coelacanth∅))): very bizarre video! i love it!
	9:58pm coelacanth∅))): hi chresti
	🌫 9:59pm chresti: Hi coel
	🌫 10:07pm Aitch: It's 100 degrees and my city is ringed by giant fires so nothing seems strange anymore. Might just keep my eye out for zombies.
	10:08pm TDK60: Sydney, Aitch?
	🌫 10:08pm Aitch: Indeed
	10:08pm ultradamno: Delightful Billy Bragg clip from The Newtown Neurotics doc www.youtube.com...
	10:08pm fleep: Spacey is a mood matcher for sure
	10:08pm Faye: first time long time love the show cant believe i got through
	10:09pm TDK60: ..been seeing news reports, lots of folks in filter masks; a protest too.
	10:10pm Daniel Blumin: Faye! Welcome to the holiday edition! I hope you're singing along!
	10:10pm ultradamno: Well, not really a clip so much as an ad, but it promises tales of hammer and sickle briefs
	10:10pm Chop Scott: Shaving my legs to this one--Cheers!
	10:10pm Daniel Blumin: Aitch, that sounds quite unsettling! Not surte this track is helping...
	🌫 10:11pm chresti: We had 77 today, now at 59 degrees
	10:11pm Daniel Blumin: Perfect! This sounds like there's quite a bit of hair to get rid of, El Choppo!
	🌫 10:12pm Aitch: Perfect Daniel, just too weird outside to go there. Settle down to some of this to stay alert.
	10:12pm TDK60: chresti, are you southern californers supposed to have a rainy season in the winter?
	🌫 10:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Any leads on the water thieves, Aitch? www.news.com.au...
	10:13pm ultradamno: I had a rash once that would have sounded like this if it were given the power of speech.
	10:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): zombies and rashes and shaving and fleep—i must have landed in a WFMU chat board! HI!
	🌫 10:15pm chresti: Seems like it, TDK60, here and there, it started early, beating the expected Santa Ana winds.
	10:15pm coelacanth∅))): this might be a contact mike on my leg where 3 stitches were never removed, them trying to work their way through
	10:15pm Chop Scott: I'll leave a few hirsute patches for you my Friend.
	🌫 10:16pm Aitch: Orange skies in Sydney, orange men in Washington (and London), perhaps we've been invaded by the Dutch? Forsooth there will be strong drugs and techno!
	10:16pm Daniel Blumin: Aitch, fer cryin out loud stay alert! Good luck! Granny, welcome!
	10:16pm JakeGould: @Ken: Didn’t Tom Selleck notably ignore drought restriction in California to water his lawn at some point?
	10:17pm ultradamno: Any field recordings of those old-timey dishwashers that would spontaneously explode?
	10:18pm JakeGould: I hope Drumpf has an anger stroke and falls down a long staircase.
	🌫 10:19pm Aitch: I like the audio when they dynamite the whale in California
	10:19pm WR: I can't believe I just missed you playing Jerry Hunt. Lesson learned .be prompt.
	10:20pm JakeGould: Anyone here see that “Cats” movie?
	10:21pm fleep: (Silence)
	10:21pm coelacanth∅))): i'd like an audio of the people who dynamited a whale being dynamited please.
	10:21pm JakeGould: chirps chirps chirps distant howls chirps chirps
	10:22pm ultradamno: ...and if they happen to also be employed as dishwashers, it will all come back around
	🌫 10:23pm Aitch: Here ya go coelacanth∅ www.youtube.com...
	10:23pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): this sounds a little like whale songs
	10:24pm ultradamno: I haven't seen it, but I understand maintaining the litter boxes for the more 'methody' actors was a nightmare job.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅))): the dishwashing exploding inevitable
	🌫 10:24pm Aitch: He doesn't blow, he sucks.
	10:25pm coelacanth∅))): (that's really what you're supposed to do)
	10:25pm fleep: 20 cases of dynamite. Think ya used enough dynamite there, Butch?
	10:25pm Daniel Blumin: WR! It's never too late! Welcome!!!
	10:25pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): whale fish blow, as the song goes…
	10:26pm JakeGould: @fleep: We Americans like to blow things up.
	10:26pm coelacanth∅))): ...so, the whale was dead already. okay i might listen to/ maybe watch that later.
	10:27pm TDK60: ..this is a cassette of 2019.
	10:28pm JakeGould: Better quality Oregon whale explosion footage here at about 2:36 in: www.youtube.com...
	10:29pm JakeGould: “The quality is much higher than the original Youtube version, allowing you crystal clear footage of the thudding sound of whale chunks dropping.”
	10:29pm Daniel Blumin: TDK, cassettes today. 8-track tapes tomorra!
	10:30pm melinda: hi everyone!
	10:30pm TDK60: Daniel, I can't go /that/ far...sorry....heh
	10:30pm ultradamno: The first one is very whale today, gone tomorrow.
	10:30pm JakeGould: The brilliant theory of the whale explosion was they would blow it up and then seagulls would go nuts and love eating the chunks… But no seagulls came around and a huge chunk of the blown up whale destroyed a car parked nearby. Whole roof caved in.
	10:31pm Daniel Blumin: melinda, hola!
	10:31pm coelacanth∅))): haha... jeez.
	10:31pm ultradamno: Reel 2 Reelz
	10:31pm melinda: I was hoping for Oregon whale explosion footage so I've come to the right place!
	10:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): people are really weird
	10:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): i'm bragging, not complaining
	10:33pm coelacanth∅))): how did none of our blessed and indispensable scavengers not start taking care of that as soon as it was beached?
	10:33pm TDK60: I remember sitting in a car in 1974 waiting for a friend in a liquor store. I was listening to an 8-track and then realized I was /annoyed/ by their switching, an unaesthetic interruption. I became sour.
	🌫 10:33pm Aitch: Sorry I mentioned it...
	10:34pm coelacanth∅))): (hmm -double negative...well you know what i mean)
	10:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Have you seen the film about 8-Track enthusiasts; "So Wrong They're Right"?!?!?
	🌫 10:35pm chresti: I imagine the seagulls didn't like the exploding much.
	10:35pm JakeGould: This is a memory a 14 year old kid had of the event: “So I’m all excited, and I went over to my dad: ‘They’re going to blow it up, 20 cases of dynamite,’ and my father proceeded to say, ‘I think you misheard them. I think he said 20 sticks," Umenhofer recalled Thursday. “And I said, ‘No he said 20 cases.’” The title of the article that quote came from: “Man recalls how family's new car was crushed by blubber in 1970” kval.com...
	10:36pm coelacanth∅))): i play with 8-track tapes. i love 'em. a valuable tool. (...we've discussed this before)
	10:37pm TDK60: sorry if I forgot coel; you're a tracky, huh.
	10:38pm ultradamno: Plus, I imagine the dynamite residue and the effect of the heat of the explosion on the blubber might have put off the seagulls as well.
	10:38pm coelacanth∅))): duduk!
	🌫 10:39pm chresti: Haha...car crushed with blubber, hope he had blubber insurance
	10:39pm melinda: @chresti haha, I think it said the state paid for a new car
	10:39pm coelacanth∅))): TDK i'd say no; but for soundy/loopy endeavors it's quite satisfying... not to do it digitally.
	10:40pm JakeGould: “My dad bought it from Old’s Dunham Cadillac and their slogan at the time was come on in - and we’ll give you a whale of a deal.” Hahahaha! STFU! SO GOOD/SAD!!!
	10:40pm coelacanth∅))): hahaha!
	🌫 10:41pm Franco Twinkie: A friend once told me about this kid who lived on his street who liked blowup the plants people had in their front yard, and he kept a log book with drawings of all the ruined plants done in crayon!
	10:41pm coelacanth∅))): next time go to the dealership that offers "a small squirrel of a deal"
	10:42pm TDK60: coel, maybe if I came over your house I'd start to lose some of my sourness...
	10:42pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Did that kid grow up to be Mark Pauline?!?!
	10:43pm coelacanth∅))): TDK okay but you might turn loopy
	10:43pm reni: wonder of wonders...in the belly of the whale...there is no button...
	🌫 10:44pm Franco Twinkie: Ha! I don't think so, but I imagine Mark started off his career doing some thing like that.
	10:44pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): i thought all mammals had belly buttons!
	10:45pm fleep: This set is wunderschnapps, DB.
	10:46pm coelacanth∅))): fleep? ever seen a bellybutton on a whale? i've never noticed. (or thought to look)
	🌫 10:46pm chresti: It's like- "I'd like to offer you this, but first I must blow it up"
	10:47pm Daniel Blumin: Thanks be onto you, fleep! Hallooo, reni!
	10:50pm fleep: Never been that close, coel, they have terrible breath, but they do have them www.whalefacts.org...
	10:50pm McGroovey: like
	🌫 10:51pm Franco Twinkie: One time a friend and I were in Ensenada and we walked into this store that had a big glass display case full of fireworks. Mixed in with all the cherry bombs and M-80's were sticks of dynamite. We were marveling at these and the guy from the store said " If you want buy dynamite, don't blow it up in the middle of town, take it to the beach."
	10:51pm JakeGould: R.I.P Mr. Popcorn. www.nytimes.com...
	10:51pm ultradamno: RIP Gershon Kingsley. His stuff with Jean-Jacques Perrey in particular is stellar.
	10:52pm Ike: Even for WFMU, this is strange. Hooray!
	10:52pm ultradamno: twitter.com...
	10:52pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): for those who want to see a whale's belly button: kidsanimalstation.files.wordpress.com...
	10:53pm TDK60: wonderfullyschnappsspace set Daniel
	10:53pm Daniel Blumin: McGroovey, phanks fer listening! Thx, TDK!
	10:53pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): we all deserve some sort of certification for all the learning we're doing here!
	10:54pm tormis in wales: daniel...noswaith dda...diolch yn fawr...
	🌫 10:55pm Aitch: Shouldn't have had the extra half radio.
	10:55pm JakeGould: A lot of people here are already certified… Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah!
	10:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): from whales to wales!
	10:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): JakeGould: [sound of one knee slapping]
	10:59pm TDK60: ..how can you speak over this?
	11:00pm Daniel Blumin: Ike! tormis, thank you - I hope I understood correctly!!!
	11:00pm coelacanth∅))): damnit. Kingsley too? ...2019 deaths just getting in under the wire
	11:02pm leo: John Faheys the new possibility is a holiday treat...more experimental than tg...a 1968 classic...midnight is an anthem...true anarchy
	11:02pm El Garee~: WoofWoof-Moo WoofWoof-Moo etc
	11:03pm Todd Trees: Gershon Kingsley was 97 years old...wow..Hey Daniel!
	11:11pm Daniel Blumin: Todd! El Garee! leo!
	11:13pm coelacanth∅))): crazy fill-ins before the year expires... both Scotts, Diane Ferris, Delphine Blue, Emily L, Jeff Mullen, Kurt, Tamar, Zoe, Mike Lupica, Thomas Storck...etc...
	11:15pm TDK60: looked up these artists via the label - des-astres-dor.com/
	11:17pm mari uk: daniel...no dallyin short for no dilly dallyin...no time for dawdling...diddling...fiddiling...spieling...love your mumbo jumbo...
	11:20pm El Garee~: Daniel! What was the item in last set that sounded like a shakuhachi. Walked in on that. Waiting for the voice of god... Wait longer?
	11:20pm Daniel Blumin: coela, and you best 'em all! mari uk! Very much appreciate your ears and typin fingers! Thank you!
	11:23pm Daniel Blumin: El G, think you're talking about the duduk! "Your Strong Mind"
	11:24pm TDK60: El Garee, I recall someone said it was a duduk (instrument of the Caucasus?)
	11:26pm El Garee~: Duduk was just solo? That was sublime.
	11:26pm coelacanth∅))): maybe slightly similar in sound? but very different in structure. (2 reeds instead of none...) both very difficult to play but for very different reasons. that album is hard to find but the reissue is entitled "from the soil". same exact album.
	11:27pm Mike Wolf: the very names Ribeiro and Blumin are killing weapons
	11:28pm El Garee~: Yes, you can hear the two tones.
	11:28pm johnzo: DANIEL. FUGGIN. BLUMIN. DB. THUH BLUMSTER. DA BLOOOMINATOR.
	11:28pm coelacanth∅))): the whole album just as sublime
	11:30pm Daniel Blumin: El G, I second what coela just typed!
	11:33pm Daniel Blumin: johnzo! I am here to provide you with holiday cheer! Thanks much fer tuning in! Mike Wolf!!! Ribeiro is unbelievable!
	11:33pm TDK60: ..at the Ribeiro site, a wonderful photo below of them performing, then. dig the candles! and what is that stringed instrument? ...www.catherine-ribeiro-alpes.com
	11:36pm coelacanth∅))): wow! many strings, whatever it is
	🌫 11:36pm chresti: Looks like they're in a castle.
	🌫 11:37pm chresti: ^or church
	11:38pm coelacanth∅))): either... i thought of the limelight...
	11:41pm El Garee~: Doing cheapo internet research one site stated that they invented some of their own instruments later: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2846
	11:43pm coelacanth∅))): that stringed instrument, whatever it is: video-images.vice.com...*
	11:43pm johnzo: thanks DJizzl!! Merpy Christmahannakwanzadan cow dogs one and all!!!
	11:44pm JakeGould: Woo! Bauhaus! Gotta go… G’Night, Daniel.
	11:45pm ultradamno: Daniel Ash didn't die right?
	11:45pm coelacanth∅))): El G gotta read that later. the article i found is in french, which i cannot read. that instrument is probably one he/they/someone...made then.
	11:46pm Daniel Blumin: ultrad, nope, but they be coming to NYC in June!
	11:46pm johnzo: Bela Lugosi is not dead be lived on in our nightmares
	11:49pm El Garee~: It's a guitar with a harp on the top. Tuning is fluid to style. More common than you'd think. 'Focus' player Jan Akkerman played one too.
	11:52pm TDK60: ..it does look like a modernized version of an Irish harp guitar. Progarchives says they also played: "percuphone and ethereal cosmophone".
	11:52pm ultradamno: I imagine anyone would get bored in a flat field after awhile.
	11:55pm TDK60: Gracias Daniel. Nighty-night, fellow citizens..
	11:56pm El Garee~: Gibson (US) even made acoustic versions of those 100 years ago. Clumsy to play but cool looking. Have a good Holiday all!
	11:56pm Daniel Blumin: G'night, TDK! May the holidaze descend upon you nicely!
	11:56pm Ike: @coel∅))): Looks like Mike L. isn't until February. (He pops up on WPRB sometimes though.) Lots of other interesting fill-ins in the next couple of weeks, though!
	11:57pm coelacanth∅))): speaking of focus -some of y'all might be interested in: wfmu.org... a new show on wfmu
	🌫 11:58pm chresti: Great schtuff, Daniel, Thanks! Gd night TDK60.
	11:58pm Daniel Blumin: Thx, chresti!
	12:00am coelacanth∅))): Brilliant program Daniel! have a happy solstice, and then some!
	12:01am coelacanth∅))): so, what is this guitar with a harp on top called?
	12:01am fleep: Thanks, DB.
	🌫 12:02am Ken From Hyde Park: I had fun tonight.
	🌫 12:02am chresti: Stockhausen-Walkman!

	9:08pm JakeGould: Tomorrow is the shortest and darkest day of the year.
	9:09pm ultradamno: The days have seemed shorter and darker for a couple of years now.
	9:11pm JakeGould: God do I hate this time of year. At least I have Baby Yoda and rereading J.G. Ballard to cheer me up.
	9:11pm listener 126464: day after tomorrow is longer and a bit lighter
	9:12pm listener 126464: not a bic lighter
	9:13pm JakeGould: In classic film noir smoking is so sophisticated. Not like in the modern world: Just Bic lighters.
	9:13pm ultradamno: Is baby even the appropriate word for that thing? It looks like an amphibious hatchling of some sort.
	9:14pm JakeGould: Baby Yoda is great. I feel genuine joy and wonder in seeing that thing on par with how I felt discovering the original “Star Wars” as a kid in the 1970s.
	9:15pm ultradamno: Was that the movie with the space gorilla?
	9:15pm JakeGould: Werner Herzog loves Baby Yoda.
	9:16pm ultradamno: Herzog thinks being shot with an air rifle is a compliment from fate.
	9:17pm JakeGould: Werner Herzog loves cat videos as well, “When you are really down, you better switch on your laptop or smartphone and watch 60 seconds of crazy cat videos.” www.buzzfeednews.com...
	9:18pm JakeGould: In honor of Hanukkah (starts Sunday) here is a cat versus a menorah. media1.tenor.com...
	9:19pm Daniel Blumin: JakeG, chresti, ultrad, TDK, fleep, spodiodi, listener 126464, and the lurkah holidaymakers, all hail!
	9:19pm jenni: screw star wars....put the hidden fortress on a video loop...much better...
	9:20pm ultradamno: I have to assume he sees the inevitable cruelty of nature mocking the struggles of mammalian in every depiction of feline buffoonery. It is mirthful but also devastatingly tragic.
	9:20pm spodiodi: for heaven's sake, i hope baby yoda is ok
	9:21pm ultradamno: mammalian...hubris, that is. Obviously.
	9:23pm Daniel Blumin: jenni! I'll have to check that out!
	9:23pm JakeGould: @spodiodi: Amazing how much this series makes you care about puppets and other characters getting hurt.
	9:25pm JakeGould: @Daniel: The nice thing about “The Mandalorian” is how it shows imperials and oher jerks truly being brutal and cruel to the defenseless. Doesn’t dance around the brutality like the films…
	9:28pm spodiodi: yes indeed, JakeGould. i'd say more but i don't wanna ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it
	9:28pm ultradamno: Isn't mandalorian some kind of luxurious car seat leather the imperial leader of fantasy island used to get worked up about?
	9:29pm TDK60: This is from a 2019 cassette.
	9:29pm ultradamno: Montalbálorian
	9:30pm spodiodi: James T. says don't trust him
	9:33pm JakeGould: Ruth Anderson obit here. R.I.P. www.nytimes.com...
	🌫 9:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Doesn't it have something to do with fractals?
	9:36pm ultradamno: Obit at Art Daily, for non subscribers artdaily.com...
	9:36pm spodiodi: you may be confusing it with Mandelbratwurst, KenFHP
	9:36pm spodiodi: delicious
	9:37pm spodiodi: thanks for the links
	9:37pm ann: happy birthday billy bragg...maybe not as cool...but back in 83_84 he was pretty innovative...a new england is still a classic...tank park salute is one of the most beautiful songs ever heard...
	🌫 9:38pm chresti: Haha Ultradamno.
	9:38pm ultradamno: He took a great leap forward.
	🌫 9:40pm Aitch: All very bent so far Prof Blumin. Tally ho.
	9:45pm TDK60: I knew not about Ruth Anderson before. WFMU can be educational even while I'm partying up a storm here at the crib.
	9:49pm coelacanth∅))): greetings Daniel & Blumineccowafers
	9:49pm ultradamno: Speaking of funny cat videos, I keep going back to this thing trying to decide if there's shenanigans at play twitter.com...
	9:52pm coelacanth∅))): cat faces added later. i wonder what the cats were really reacting to.
	9:54pm Daniel Blumin: Greetings, coela! Thanks, Aitch! All the holiday best tonight!
	🌫 9:55pm chresti: A dog?@coel
	9:55pm coelacanth∅))): ann Billy Bragg is an excellent human bean
	9:58pm coelacanth∅))): very bizarre video! i love it!
	9:58pm coelacanth∅))): hi chresti
	🌫 9:59pm chresti: Hi coel
	🌫 10:07pm Aitch: It's 100 degrees and my city is ringed by giant fires so nothing seems strange anymore. Might just keep my eye out for zombies.
	10:08pm TDK60: Sydney, Aitch?
	🌫 10:08pm Aitch: Indeed
	10:08pm ultradamno: Delightful Billy Bragg clip from The Newtown Neurotics doc www.youtube.com...
	10:08pm fleep: Spacey is a mood matcher for sure
	10:08pm Faye: first time long time love the show cant believe i got through
	10:09pm TDK60: ..been seeing news reports, lots of folks in filter masks; a protest too.
	10:10pm Daniel Blumin: Faye! Welcome to the holiday edition! I hope you're singing along!
	10:10pm ultradamno: Well, not really a clip so much as an ad, but it promises tales of hammer and sickle briefs
	10:10pm Chop Scott: Shaving my legs to this one--Cheers!
	10:10pm Daniel Blumin: Aitch, that sounds quite unsettling! Not surte this track is helping...
	🌫 10:11pm chresti: We had 77 today, now at 59 degrees
	10:11pm Daniel Blumin: Perfect! This sounds like there's quite a bit of hair to get rid of, El Choppo!
	🌫 10:12pm Aitch: Perfect Daniel, just too weird outside to go there. Settle down to some of this to stay alert.
	10:12pm TDK60: chresti, are you southern californers supposed to have a rainy season in the winter?
	🌫 10:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Any leads on the water thieves, Aitch? www.news.com.au...
	10:13pm ultradamno: I had a rash once that would have sounded like this if it were given the power of speech.
	10:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): zombies and rashes and shaving and fleep—i must have landed in a WFMU chat board! HI!
	🌫 10:15pm chresti: Seems like it, TDK60, here and there, it started early, beating the expected Santa Ana winds.
	10:15pm coelacanth∅))): this might be a contact mike on my leg where 3 stitches were never removed, them trying to work their way through
	10:15pm Chop Scott: I'll leave a few hirsute patches for you my Friend.
	🌫 10:16pm Aitch: Orange skies in Sydney, orange men in Washington (and London), perhaps we've been invaded by the Dutch? Forsooth there will be strong drugs and techno!
	10:16pm Daniel Blumin: Aitch, fer cryin out loud stay alert! Good luck! Granny, welcome!
	10:16pm JakeGould: @Ken: Didn’t Tom Selleck notably ignore drought restriction in California to water his lawn at some point?
	10:17pm ultradamno: Any field recordings of those old-timey dishwashers that would spontaneously explode?
	10:18pm JakeGould: I hope Drumpf has an anger stroke and falls down a long staircase.
	🌫 10:19pm Aitch: I like the audio when they dynamite the whale in California
	10:19pm WR: I can't believe I just missed you playing Jerry Hunt. Lesson learned .be prompt.
	10:20pm JakeGould: Anyone here see that “Cats” movie?
	10:21pm fleep: (Silence)
	10:21pm coelacanth∅))): i'd like an audio of the people who dynamited a whale being dynamited please.
	10:21pm JakeGould: chirps chirps chirps distant howls chirps chirps
	10:22pm ultradamno: ...and if they happen to also be employed as dishwashers, it will all come back around
	🌫 10:23pm Aitch: Here ya go coelacanth∅ www.youtube.com...
	10:23pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): this sounds a little like whale songs
	10:24pm ultradamno: I haven't seen it, but I understand maintaining the litter boxes for the more 'methody' actors was a nightmare job.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅))): the dishwashing exploding inevitable
	🌫 10:24pm Aitch: He doesn't blow, he sucks.
	10:25pm coelacanth∅))): (that's really what you're supposed to do)
	10:25pm fleep: 20 cases of dynamite. Think ya used enough dynamite there, Butch?
	10:25pm Daniel Blumin: WR! It's never too late! Welcome!!!
	10:25pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): whale fish blow, as the song goes…
	10:26pm JakeGould: @fleep: We Americans like to blow things up.
	10:26pm coelacanth∅))): ...so, the whale was dead already. okay i might listen to/ maybe watch that later.
	10:27pm TDK60: ..this is a cassette of 2019.
	10:28pm JakeGould: Better quality Oregon whale explosion footage here at about 2:36 in: www.youtube.com...
	10:29pm JakeGould: “The quality is much higher than the original Youtube version, allowing you crystal clear footage of the thudding sound of whale chunks dropping.”
	10:29pm Daniel Blumin: TDK, cassettes today. 8-track tapes tomorra!
	10:30pm melinda: hi everyone!
	10:30pm TDK60: Daniel, I can't go /that/ far...sorry....heh
	10:30pm ultradamno: The first one is very whale today, gone tomorrow.
	10:30pm JakeGould: The brilliant theory of the whale explosion was they would blow it up and then seagulls would go nuts and love eating the chunks… But no seagulls came around and a huge chunk of the blown up whale destroyed a car parked nearby. Whole roof caved in.
	10:31pm Daniel Blumin: melinda, hola!
	10:31pm coelacanth∅))): haha... jeez.
	10:31pm ultradamno: Reel 2 Reelz
	10:31pm melinda: I was hoping for Oregon whale explosion footage so I've come to the right place!
	10:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): people are really weird
	10:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): i'm bragging, not complaining
	10:33pm coelacanth∅))): how did none of our blessed and indispensable scavengers not start taking care of that as soon as it was beached?
	10:33pm TDK60: I remember sitting in a car in 1974 waiting for a friend in a liquor store. I was listening to an 8-track and then realized I was /annoyed/ by their switching, an unaesthetic interruption. I became sour.
	🌫 10:33pm Aitch: Sorry I mentioned it...
	10:34pm coelacanth∅))): (hmm -double negative...well you know what i mean)
	10:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Have you seen the film about 8-Track enthusiasts; "So Wrong They're Right"?!?!?
	🌫 10:35pm chresti: I imagine the seagulls didn't like the exploding much.
	10:35pm JakeGould: This is a memory a 14 year old kid had of the event: “So I’m all excited, and I went over to my dad: ‘They’re going to blow it up, 20 cases of dynamite,’ and my father proceeded to say, ‘I think you misheard them. I think he said 20 sticks," Umenhofer recalled Thursday. “And I said, ‘No he said 20 cases.’” The title of the article that quote came from: “Man recalls how family's new car was crushed by blubber in 1970” kval.com...
	10:36pm coelacanth∅))): i play with 8-track tapes. i love 'em. a valuable tool. (...we've discussed this before)
	10:37pm TDK60: sorry if I forgot coel; you're a tracky, huh.
	10:38pm ultradamno: Plus, I imagine the dynamite residue and the effect of the heat of the explosion on the blubber might have put off the seagulls as well.
	10:38pm coelacanth∅))): duduk!
	🌫 10:39pm chresti: Haha...car crushed with blubber, hope he had blubber insurance
	10:39pm melinda: @chresti haha, I think it said the state paid for a new car
	10:39pm coelacanth∅))): TDK i'd say no; but for soundy/loopy endeavors it's quite satisfying... not to do it digitally.
	10:40pm JakeGould: “My dad bought it from Old’s Dunham Cadillac and their slogan at the time was come on in - and we’ll give you a whale of a deal.” Hahahaha! STFU! SO GOOD/SAD!!!
	10:40pm coelacanth∅))): hahaha!
	🌫 10:41pm Franco Twinkie: A friend once told me about this kid who lived on his street who liked blowup the plants people had in their front yard, and he kept a log book with drawings of all the ruined plants done in crayon!
	10:41pm coelacanth∅))): next time go to the dealership that offers "a small squirrel of a deal"
	10:42pm TDK60: coel, maybe if I came over your house I'd start to lose some of my sourness...
	10:42pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Did that kid grow up to be Mark Pauline?!?!
	10:43pm coelacanth∅))): TDK okay but you might turn loopy
	10:43pm reni: wonder of wonders...in the belly of the whale...there is no button...
	🌫 10:44pm Franco Twinkie: Ha! I don't think so, but I imagine Mark started off his career doing some thing like that.
	10:44pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): i thought all mammals had belly buttons!
	10:45pm fleep: This set is wunderschnapps, DB.
	10:46pm coelacanth∅))): fleep? ever seen a bellybutton on a whale? i've never noticed. (or thought to look)
	🌫 10:46pm chresti: It's like- "I'd like to offer you this, but first I must blow it up"
	10:47pm Daniel Blumin: Thanks be onto you, fleep! Hallooo, reni!
	10:50pm fleep: Never been that close, coel, they have terrible breath, but they do have them www.whalefacts.org...
	10:50pm McGroovey: like
	🌫 10:51pm Franco Twinkie: One time a friend and I were in Ensenada and we walked into this store that had a big glass display case full of fireworks. Mixed in with all the cherry bombs and M-80's were sticks of dynamite. We were marveling at these and the guy from the store said " If you want buy dynamite, don't blow it up in the middle of town, take it to the beach."
	10:51pm JakeGould: R.I.P Mr. Popcorn. www.nytimes.com...
	10:51pm ultradamno: RIP Gershon Kingsley. His stuff with Jean-Jacques Perrey in particular is stellar.
	10:52pm Ike: Even for WFMU, this is strange. Hooray!
	10:52pm ultradamno: twitter.com...
	10:52pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): for those who want to see a whale's belly button: kidsanimalstation.files.wordpress.com...
	10:53pm TDK60: wonderfullyschnappsspace set Daniel
	10:53pm Daniel Blumin: McGroovey, phanks fer listening! Thx, TDK!
	10:53pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): we all deserve some sort of certification for all the learning we're doing here!
	10:54pm tormis in wales: daniel...noswaith dda...diolch yn fawr...
	🌫 10:55pm Aitch: Shouldn't have had the extra half radio.
	10:55pm JakeGould: A lot of people here are already certified… Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah!
	10:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): from whales to wales!
	10:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): JakeGould: [sound of one knee slapping]
	10:59pm TDK60: ..how can you speak over this?
	11:00pm Daniel Blumin: Ike! tormis, thank you - I hope I understood correctly!!!
	11:00pm coelacanth∅))): damnit. Kingsley too? ...2019 deaths just getting in under the wire
	11:02pm leo: John Faheys the new possibility is a holiday treat...more experimental than tg...a 1968 classic...midnight is an anthem...true anarchy
	11:02pm El Garee~: WoofWoof-Moo WoofWoof-Moo etc
	11:03pm Todd Trees: Gershon Kingsley was 97 years old...wow..Hey Daniel!
	11:11pm Daniel Blumin: Todd! El Garee! leo!
	11:13pm coelacanth∅))): crazy fill-ins before the year expires... both Scotts, Diane Ferris, Delphine Blue, Emily L, Jeff Mullen, Kurt, Tamar, Zoe, Mike Lupica, Thomas Storck...etc...
	11:15pm TDK60: looked up these artists via the label - des-astres-dor.com/
	11:17pm mari uk: daniel...no dallyin short for no dilly dallyin...no time for dawdling...diddling...fiddiling...spieling...love your mumbo jumbo...
	11:20pm El Garee~: Daniel! What was the item in last set that sounded like a shakuhachi. Walked in on that. Waiting for the voice of god... Wait longer?
	11:20pm Daniel Blumin: coela, and you best 'em all! mari uk! Very much appreciate your ears and typin fingers! Thank you!
	11:23pm Daniel Blumin: El G, think you're talking about the duduk! "Your Strong Mind"
	11:24pm TDK60: El Garee, I recall someone said it was a duduk (instrument of the Caucasus?)
	11:26pm El Garee~: Duduk was just solo? That was sublime.
	11:26pm coelacanth∅))): maybe slightly similar in sound? but very different in structure. (2 reeds instead of none...) both very difficult to play but for very different reasons. that album is hard to find but the reissue is entitled "from the soil". same exact album.
	11:27pm Mike Wolf: the very names Ribeiro and Blumin are killing weapons
	11:28pm El Garee~: Yes, you can hear the two tones.
	11:28pm johnzo: DANIEL. FUGGIN. BLUMIN. DB. THUH BLUMSTER. DA BLOOOMINATOR.
	11:28pm coelacanth∅))): the whole album just as sublime
	11:30pm Daniel Blumin: El G, I second what coela just typed!
	11:33pm Daniel Blumin: johnzo! I am here to provide you with holiday cheer! Thanks much fer tuning in! Mike Wolf!!! Ribeiro is unbelievable!
	11:33pm TDK60: ..at the Ribeiro site, a wonderful photo below of them performing, then. dig the candles! and what is that stringed instrument? ...www.catherine-ribeiro-alpes.com
	11:36pm coelacanth∅))): wow! many strings, whatever it is
	🌫 11:36pm chresti: Looks like they're in a castle.
	🌫 11:37pm chresti: ^or church
	11:38pm coelacanth∅))): either... i thought of the limelight...
	11:41pm El Garee~: Doing cheapo internet research one site stated that they invented some of their own instruments later: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2846
	11:43pm coelacanth∅))): that stringed instrument, whatever it is: video-images.vice.com...*
	11:43pm johnzo: thanks DJizzl!! Merpy Christmahannakwanzadan cow dogs one and all!!!
	11:44pm JakeGould: Woo! Bauhaus! Gotta go… G’Night, Daniel.
	11:45pm ultradamno: Daniel Ash didn't die right?
	11:45pm coelacanth∅))): El G gotta read that later. the article i found is in french, which i cannot read. that instrument is probably one he/they/someone...made then.
	11:46pm Daniel Blumin: ultrad, nope, but they be coming to NYC in June!
	11:46pm johnzo: Bela Lugosi is not dead be lived on in our nightmares
	11:49pm El Garee~: It's a guitar with a harp on the top. Tuning is fluid to style. More common than you'd think. 'Focus' player Jan Akkerman played one too.
	11:52pm TDK60: ..it does look like a modernized version of an Irish harp guitar. Progarchives says they also played: "percuphone and ethereal cosmophone".
	11:52pm ultradamno: I imagine anyone would get bored in a flat field after awhile.
	11:55pm TDK60: Gracias Daniel. Nighty-night, fellow citizens..
	11:56pm El Garee~: Gibson (US) even made acoustic versions of those 100 years ago. Clumsy to play but cool looking. Have a good Holiday all!
	11:56pm Daniel Blumin: G'night, TDK! May the holidaze descend upon you nicely!
	11:56pm Ike: @coel∅))): Looks like Mike L. isn't until February. (He pops up on WPRB sometimes though.) Lots of other interesting fill-ins in the next couple of weeks, though!
	11:57pm coelacanth∅))): speaking of focus -some of y'all might be interested in: wfmu.org... a new show on wfmu
	🌫 11:58pm chresti: Great schtuff, Daniel, Thanks! Gd night TDK60.
	11:58pm Daniel Blumin: Thx, chresti!
	12:00am coelacanth∅))): Brilliant program Daniel! have a happy solstice, and then some!
	12:01am coelacanth∅))): so, what is this guitar with a harp on top called?
	12:01am fleep: Thanks, DB.
	🌫 12:02am Ken From Hyde Park: I had fun tonight.
