	9:19pm northguineahills: It's a cool 70F/21C down here (well, cool for down here)
	9:20pm TDK60: I opened a door. I saw a radio on a stand; I approached it. I pressed the 'on' button. The dial, it's locked to a certain frequency. Good evening.
	9:20pm John from Florham park: @NGH when I used to live in South Florida that’s what I would get at night
	9:21pm fleep: And .... dip!
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: Ah, similar experience, @TDK60. Good to come home and find you fine folx.
	9:24pm Daniel Blumin: Welcome onboard, Freeformists! Greetz, ultrad, Stashu, Mr. P, chresti, fleep, Aitch, John from FP, MMM, wendy df, coela, Billy Jam, ngh, Granny ST, TDK, Handy and the lurkah massive!!!
	9:26pm P-90: Privet, Daniel and The Blumintelligentsia.
	9:26pm Handy Haversack: Everything about the "You've Got Foetus On Your Breath" row on the playlist is making me upset that I missed it, including the spelling.
	9:26pm ultradamno: The way things are going, I'm thinking I should like to look into changing my driver's license preference to donating my body to hungry cats than to science or whatever it is now.
	9:26pm coelacanth∅: if i'd known that the jehovah's witnesses that used to knock on my door all the time sounded like this i would've listened to them
	9:27pm Mr. Pumpy: Love me some Sly! Drone on...
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: haha oh..."wetness". well i didn't ever say anything that mean to them.
	9:28pm Mod Mokka Matti: The JWs around here either died out, or finally got the message that we weren't interested in what they had seen.
	9:28pm P-90: So Daniel, do you have a photo with Lev Parnas? It seems that almost everyone does, I’m starting to feel a bit left out for not having one...
	9:29pm fleep: Oddly enough, they were right. These are the end times.
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: fleep i was just thinking that recently. oh well, we had a fair run.
	9:31pm Handy Haversack: We were just discussing on the M train whether teaching your current crop of high school kids theater and other arts would just interfere in their readiness for the coming water wars. No decisions reached.
	9:31pm coelacanth∅: - i don't know if they predicted that it'd be humans that brought about the end; but i guess the end justifies the means.
	🌫 9:35pm brycepunk1: Loving this set so far, Sir Blumin.
	9:36pm Daniel Blumin: p-90! I can't tell you due to the deep cover, see? brycepunk! Thx!!!
	9:37pm Mr. Pumpy: D-Bloom...I'm with brycepunk...this shite is sending me!
	9:37pm Jay Gilbert: SkronkRumbleWarbleBonkBamalicious!
	9:38pm fleep: P-90 As fascinating as Parnas' story is, I couldn't stop looking at the Zero Mostel work he did with his hair
	9:39pm Daniel Blumin: Thx, Mr P!!! Hola, Jay G!
	9:39pm TDK60: The meanies are justified till the end?
	9:40pm Mr. Pumpy: coelacanth∅...I'm not sure who 'they' are...but I'm going to say they predicted it. Humans...everything. A fart in Moscow at 9:21 EST...humans. A supernova on the far side of the Milky Way...humans. The butterfly effect...all along, erroneously named...humans.
	9:41pm Handy Haversack: Butterflies will try to take credit for literally anything, Mr. Pumpy.
	9:42pm Mr. Pumpy: This disc is straight up Glocken!
	9:43pm Mr. Pumpy: @Handy...I see. Greedy, wispy a-holes. Shit...they can have it!
	9:43pm coelacanth∅: yes those seemingly innocuous butterflies. -sent from some other solar system to ruin us. bastards.
	9:44pm Handy Haversack: We should have seen it coming. Who ever bought that whole cocoon scam?!
	9:45pm ultradamno: And nobody gives moths credit for anything, just for having the sense to stay out of the sunlight.
	9:46pm Mod Mokka Matti: The Goths of the insect world
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: ha! "cocoons". you ever look closely at one of those? you can see the windows and the missile launchers plain as day. (with a magnifying glass)
	🌫 9:47pm chresti: Haha coel
	9:48pm Jay Gilbert: They crashed to Earth millennia ago in a Lepidopteroid.
	🌫 9:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello to the tri-state Blumin area!
	9:49pm fleep: I remember the Insect Wars. I'm the last of the Brunnen-G.
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: Lepidopteroid!
	9:52pm TDK60: In a few minutes the 10 PM quiet hours rule begins in NYC. I'm going to turn this down real quickly and irk the neighbors.
	🌫 9:53pm Aitch: I thought it was the city that never sleeps?
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: had to look that up. -and i thought the biggest insect war was between honey bees and yellowjackets. (i wouldn't call the cicadas vs. the cicada killers a way. -a massacre really. mass cicadacide.)
	9:55pm TDK60: Aitch, actually that's what my neighbors seem to think, especially the ones right above me.
	9:56pm Mike Wolf: yes Daniel, more of this please, i’m giving my upstairs neighbors a workout the fuckers
	🌫 9:57pm chresti: Reporting from SoCal. Great set, Daniel!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: hay, as it turns out today is judgement day! www.checkiday.com...
	9:57pm Jay Gilbert: @coelacanthØ glad you liked it. I have a buddy who is an entymologist, so I love bugging him (pun intended) with random insect questions. Also, if anybody wants "lepidopteroid" as a title for some music, feel free...
	9:58pm Mr. Pumpy: Chrysalis my ass!
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: well -lepidopteroids might explain all those tiny craters in the lawn.
	10:00pm TDK60: ah yes, Dave Mandl was here; we kept him on his aesthetic toes.
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: Mr.P haha
	10:02pm Mr. Pumpy: I took a great entomology class down at Rutgers in the 90s, Insects and Man (bugs and dudes), and I recall the stat stating that there are a quarter of a million insects for every human on the planet. If this is even close to accurate, I'm glad as fuck that my lot aren't here in my house with me!
	10:03pm Mike Wolf: Daniel just for tonight can you make your on-air voice scarier somehow so for to continue the assault on my neighbors during your microphone breaks just for tonight please
	10:03pm ultradamno: My aunt was a jehovah's witness and that woman could drink. Not a 'dry' house at all.
	10:03pm ParUbi: "200 million There are something like 10 quintillion insects alive on the planet at any given time, and 200 million insects per human being on the face of the earth."
	10:04pm Handy Haversack: You can't spell "mother" without "moth" -- but you can't always trust your mother.
	10:04pm ParUbi: Hi everyone, Daniel
	10:05pm Mod Mokka Matti: How many of those insects are on/in a human's face at any given moment in time?
	10:05pm ?: Commercial Free? That would be so un-Amurican.
	10:06pm Handy Haversack: Was really digging that "Class I," BTW, Daniel!
	10:06pm Mike Wolf: i like “I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!” Daniel
	10:06pm ultradamno: I do appreciate Ken Starr reappearing if only that he's solidified his status as partisan operator (if that were actually necessary).
	10:07pm Jay Gilbert: @Mr. Pumpy They're outside your door, wearing white shirts & plain black ties. They want to talk to you about Jesus, but they can't reach the doorbell...
	10:07pm coelacanth∅: i've known a few jehova's witnesses, quite friendly with a couple -they celebrated nothing, didn't drink alcohol or do any other drugs, didn't eat meat, didn't have surgery for any reason...
	10:08pm ParUbi: Prince died because of the blood transfusion prohibition, right?
	10:10pm coelacanth∅: someone i knew took a course on "statistics" and i forget the numbers but there are quite a few creatures (like tens or hundreds of thousands) living on each of every human's eyelids at all times.
	10:11pm ultradamno: @coel Transfusions. Precious bodily fluids are a big deal with them.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: was Prince a jw? (hi ParUbi!)
	10:12pm fleep: a human is 40% human cells and 60% microbes
	10:12pm coelacanth∅: oh that sounds right ultra d
	10:12pm Handy Haversack: those black ties are part of the thorax.
	10:13pm Mr. Pumpy: @Para...WHAAAA?!?!?!?!?! Damn...that's a good protein stream right there.
	10:13pm ParUbi: "Thorax" is such a lovely word
	🌫 10:13pm chresti: Haha
	10:13pm ultradamno: Prince's Life as a JW www.billboard.com...
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: maybe we can get Daniel to say "thorax" during his next mic break
	10:14pm ParUbi: @Coel-- he sure was
	10:15pm Mr. Pumpy: thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax!
	10:15pm ultradamno: David Thomas is too. Diamanda Galas said he through a fit they were on the same bill ("I don't want to be around this satanist singer"), though I get the impression she could embellish, so who knows.
	10:15pm ParUbi: Makes me wonder if our universe is part of a bug's nose
	10:15pm George of Troy: Salute, Daniel!
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: hmm, well "Aunt Mary" (as we knew her) wouldn't even take aspirin. just herbal remedies.
	10:17pm Daniel Blumin: All hail, George!
	10:17pm coelacanth∅: thorax
	10:18pm ParUbi: Protein for the 21st century
	10:18pm Jay Gilbert: Thorax
	10:18pm ultradamno: Is there a band called Thorax Backwards? There should be.
	10:19pm Mr. Pumpy: Our universe is an entire bug's nose...not a quorum of insect noses. They can make decisions...get shit done. Bow down to your nasal, insectile reality. It's a pleasure...
	10:19pm Ike: Good evening all! Is it chattier than usual here tonight? I'd wager a guess that a lot of us decided it was too cold to go out, yeah?
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: ever since i learned what an atom is i imagined our solar system is an atom.
	10:19pm Mike Wolf: this is the greatest thing ever maybe
	🌫 10:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: A bug's life, indeed.
	10:20pm Jay Gilbert: @Ike you bet your thorax it is
	🌫 10:20pm chresti: Code word: Thorax
	10:20pm coelacanth∅: it's pretty fucking amazing!
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: xaroht
	10:21pm ParUbi: sounds like some kind of Mayan demon or something
	10:21pm Mod Mokka Matti: @ParUbi: My late father and I used to have conversations centering around themes similar to that - i.e. what is this universe that we know (very little of), accept, and are part of, in turn really part of? A giant insect's nose isn't all that much different than what we considered...
	10:21pm Mr. Pumpy: I saw Xaroht play with Mayehm and Anaal Nathrakh this past fall. It was a killer bill. Part of the Satan's Proboscis Tour.
	10:22pm TDK60: Thanks Daniel, for operating the studio controls so assiduously.
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: hahaha!
	10:22pm ParUbi: @MMM-- love those kinds of conversations. Leibniz posed a similar idea a while back. Who knows?
	10:23pm Jay Gilbert: The Thorax Nose
	10:24pm ParUbi: The movie I have on just went into the karmic debt a character has for killing insects
	10:25pm Daniel Blumin: Mike & TDK, glad ya digg!
	10:27pm ParUbi: I think everyone's in the mood for some Mandible Chatter...
	10:27pm Jay Gilbert: YES!
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: i guess i should go put something in the oven -since it's hot ...i pray to Thorax i don't run out of heating oil before the delivery monday
	10:33pm Mod Mokka Matti: As someone who grew up involved with gardening (and still am), I find myself in a quandary at times, dealing with what may be considered more harmful representatives of the insect population. If everything has a defined function in the ecosystem, then who am I to deny the continued existence of that being? Yet, if the situation isn't mitigated, it could become a greater problem. I try to be as benign in my management as possible, while promoting the overall health of the garden I'm stewarding. I certainly have one of the epicenters of local bee activity here in the summers, and do what I can to avoid harming them, in particular.
	10:33pm yippie: this is some great whale hunting music
	10:34pm TDK60: So this is what happens when you think about our great country in French, huh?
	10:35pm Mr. Pumpy: @yippie...Ahab's Playlist right here. Music to scrimshaw by...
	🌫 10:35pm chresti: Haunting whale hunting music
	10:35pm ParUbi: Some old god sleeps beneath those waves
	10:36pm Mod Mokka Matti: It could make for some contemplative Schnauzer-walking music...which is what I am being told to embark on at the moment, by my doggo.
	10:37pm ParUbi: @MMM-- each of those little critters has its own way of being. I identify with that hesitancy.
	10:37pm Jay Gilbert: Thorax! glub glub THORAAAAAAAaaaaaxxxxx!!!
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: MMM i have felt that way. by the time i was a teenager i wouldn't kill anything unless it was actively sucking, stinging, biting or being a parasite. the truth i came to learn, once i started gardening, as you know, is that the insects that are a problem became a problem because of human interference. yellow jackets, japanese beetles, slugs, potato beetles, squash beetles, gypsy moths...(etc etc) so i justify my saving my garden, other people's gardens, and potentially the well-being of myself and others. i hate killing them and i suffer spiritually for doing it, but i feel i have to.
	10:42pm Handy Haversack: Formal thorax. It's Friday night.
	10:43pm Kat in Chicago: Coming out of lurkerville to indicate my appreciation for the high quality of both the music and the chat tonight.
	10:45pm Jay Gilbert: @Handy Haversack Wait- I thought it was "Casual Thorax Fridays"...when did it change?
	10:46pm Mr. Pumpy: Always a thoraxmaid, never a thorax.
	10:46pm Metalfunkel: I want to build a lean-to in the forest and protect myself against the onslaught of this show, but in a good way.
	10:47pm Ryab: hi all
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ...i feel like the war i've waged on my sister's 3 acres on yellow jackets and japanese beetles has resulted in a much much more diverse insect and bird population there and for her neighbors, who are beekeepers. the difference over the past 6 years is obvious. lots of bees and non-asshole wasps. probably 1/200th the number of yellow jackets. (there was a big problem)
	10:47pm Daniel Blumin: Kat! Thankses fer unlurking and the kind words!
	10:48pm Daniel Blumin: Metalfunkel, that's a great descrip/reaction! Love it!
	10:50pm Mr. Pumpy: @coelacanth∅...1/200th? That's a sharp eye! Anyhow...glad you're sculpting the insect population. Less asshole thoraxes is a good thing.
	🌫 10:50pm chresti: I love this Holves
	10:51pm Metalfunkel: I need to be this freaking goth. How do achieve this? Do I need a neck tattoo or something? Please say I can achieve it without that.
	10:51pm Mr. Pumpy: This Holves?!
	10:53pm chris_in_space: Comin' out of the shadows to trip openly. This set is nuts.
	10:53pm ParUbi: Somewhere between halves and (w)hole
	🌫 10:53pm chresti: Song Title@Mr. Pumpy
	🌫 10:54pm chresti: Agree with chris
	10:55pm ParUbi: It's thoracically hallucinatory
	🌫 10:56pm chresti: Or hooves
	10:57pm Daniel Blumin: Metalf, no neck tattoos necessary - all you gotta do is click your heels three times!
	10:58pm Daniel Blumin: chris_in_space, thanks fer emerging! Appreciate the earses!
	10:58pm TDK60: Well ustedes, I am tired. The candles are extinguished. I now proceed to the chamber of sleep. I hope some of you stay up later than I do. Take shifts...
	11:00pm Metalfunkel: infinity, am I right people?
	11:01pm fleep: Aloha TDK
	11:02pm fleep: This is crazy good
	11:02pm ultradamno: This sounds like a score for a movie about hunting elves that look like kraftwerk.
	11:04pm Mr. Pumpy: The background music sounds like Ennio Morricone's Hateful Eight score. Looped. Mobius Thorax.
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: Night, @TDK60. May your thorax always be sufficient for the level of dress. It's all in the attitude, @Jay Gilbert.
	11:05pm N. Ron Hubble: Don Harper - Dank Earth (2014). It’s amazing what turns up in Shazam these days.
	11:06pm Metalfunkel: Wait, do you mean to imply Kraftwerk are not already elves? This is nuts.
	🌫 11:06pm chresti: Goodnight TDK60.
	11:07pm ParUbi: Well, machine elves are still elves, after all
	11:07pm Mr. Pumpy: @Enron...that's what is playing now?!
	11:09pm ultradamno: I thought they were robots...robot elves, sure, but...
	11:09pm N. Ron Hubble: Ya
	11:09pm ultradamno: ...no pot of gold.
	11:09pm Metalfunkel: all Kraftwerk cover band: "Machine Elves". Anybody play bass?
	11:10pm Mr. Pumpy: Ya ya...just checked it. I wish it was on wax.
	11:10pm Mr. Pumpy: I'll play bass in Machine Elves.
	11:10pm Handy Haversack: By this logic, we have to let all elves have oil. I am uncomfortable.
	🌫 11:12pm chresti: I think there were/are elves in the Santa Cruz mountains.
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: Mr.P @ 10.50 (i went and cooked something) -i know that was a joke! ..but i think that figure is very low. 4 years ago there were at least 2 big nests -thousands of wasps each; entering or leaving the nest at a rate of 1-2/second; and 3-4 smaller ones -probably having hundreds or maybe 1-2 thousand yellowjackets in each. last summer there was only one small one -maybe a couple hundred wasps. ....thousands of honey bees -which i could work amidst without incident.
	11:13pm ParUbi: I spotted an elf earlier today. He's new to lifting.
	11:15pm Metalfunkel: Elf programs his own computer. Beams himself into the future.
	🌫 11:15pm chresti: Do elves eat termites?
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: gnight TDK someone needs to make a track so badass that Daniel HAS TO play it...and call it "thorax"
	11:15pm N. Ron Hubble: It’s on vinyl https://www.discogs.com/Don-Harper-Cold-Worlds/release/5825833 (is that spam?) so, err .. getchyer ya yas out and buy buy buy
	11:16pm Handy Haversack: @Metalfunkel, PLEASE let that be the setup for an amazing joke.
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: chresti -you mean, aside from termite elves?
	11:18pm Mr. Pumpy: @N. Ron...cool. Didn't find it for some reason. I was on discogs and some thorax must have disc-blocked me.
	11:18pm Jay Gilbert: Elves? Holves? Thorelves?
	11:19pm Daniel Blumin: N. Ron, I'm just glad me voice didn't get in the way!
	11:20pm Mr. Pumpy: Elves in the Holveroom
	11:21pm Handy Haversack: Elvax of Thorholve.
	11:21pm Metalfunkel: but of course it's a take on the coldly-technical yet beautiful "Home Computer" from Kraftwerk's Computerworld. "Beam myself into the future." They predicted all of this crap.
	11:21pm N. Ron Hubble: Just as you started speaking, it came up with “sending”. The suspense was incredible.
	🌫 11:22pm chresti: Haha coel.
	11:23pm Wuthry Guffy: Everyone take a kneel if you will... now slap the shit out the other one. Guffaw we did it!
	🌫 11:24pm chresti: Elvax Prexly
	🌫 11:24pm Franco Twinkie: Hello Daniel and co. I just woke up, so I won't even get into the bug thing.
	11:25pm Daniel Blumin: Franco, we're moving on to birds anyhow!
	11:26pm Wuthry Guffy: Take a knee ****forgive old guffys thumbs.! Hope the instructions were easy enough.
	🌫 11:26pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, let me think.
	11:26pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, now we have this whole bluebird issue. Like they're even blue.
	11:26pm ultradamno: Molting, dude. Feathers don't shed.
	11:26pm Mr. Pumpy: Ornithrax. Bird bodies...
	11:27pm Mr. Pumpy: This track is insane! Turns to gold!!!!
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: it's just the chlorophyll in their feathers that make them look blue. as soon as they stop with the photosynthesis they turn crazy colors.
	11:29pm Billy Jam: this song - along with "Rappers Delight" - is among contemporary music's greatest songs
	11:29pm Handy Haversack: I thought it was because they had horseshoe crabs for blood.
	🌫 11:29pm Franco Twinkie: For a short time, I had an owl. It lived on the screen porch. It would eat chicks and mice then throw up feathers and bones.
	11:30pm ultradamno: Birds are just honked off all the time 'cause they used to be dinosaurs.
	11:30pm Handy Haversack: Never trust anyone over 265,000,000 years old!
	11:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Billy...ha! Agreed. Cuz they catchy!
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: Handy H yes you might be right. i once got a case of horseshoe crabs from a transfusion and they said it was bird blood.
	11:32pm Marley Dogg: Güten rag
	11:33pm Marley Dogg: *güten tag
	11:33pm Mr. Pumpy: Sugar Bird Thorax is the first ambient rap group to put out a single.
	11:34pm Handy Haversack: @coel, you can't keep going back to those salt-water transfusionists. You know how they are. Everything's a chemical, they say. Well, sure, but what about biology?
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: i just put my faith in Thorax
	11:37pm Handy Haversack: I didn't mention this earlier, but Gary Gygax was also a JW. Thorax connection?!?!
	🌫 11:37pm Franco Twinkie: I though you were just saying something nutty, Coel, then I looked up horse shoe crabs. Oh my!
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: Franco the last transfusion i had, about 3 this afternoon, they used chipmunk blood. i might be saying something nutty.
	11:40pm Handy Haversack: Did you go in just saying that you had a corn?
	11:41pm Daniel Blumin: Heya, Marley D! I hope you are oscillating comfortably!
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: i did have some corn; but no i went in for a pedicure. this seems to always happen.
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: (and my nails still look like shit)
	11:45pm Handy Haversack: Sometimes the pedicure is worse than the pedidisease .
	11:45pm coelacanth∅: hahaha
	🌫 11:48pm Franco Twinkie: I just remembered something: When I was a youngster, the kid across the street came over in total panic and told me there was a giant bug in the gutter in front of his house. I went to investigate and it turned out to me a crab. We puzzled over it and then I went back inside to watch TV. The only reasonable explanation for it been there was his older sisters boyfriend was a surfer and would sleep in car in front of their house. I think he brought it from the beach.
	11:49pm Handy Haversack: Would def. be an unterthorax in that German army. Great track!
	🌫 11:54pm chresti: Isn't there a Dr, Seuss character named Thorax?
	11:55pm ultradamno: He speaks for the fleas
	🌫 11:55pm Franco Twinkie: You are thinking of the Lorax, dear.
	11:55pm Handy Haversack: Or Borat.
	11:55pm Mod Mokka Matti: Oh, bug talk yet...?
	🌫 11:55pm chresti: haha ex-lax, perfect!
	11:56pm Mod Mokka Matti: No fleas, please!
	11:56pm ultradamno: Smooth move
	🌫 11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Raymond Scott would have been great at fart noises.
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: tee hee hee
	11:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Daniel!
	11:56pm Mod Mokka Matti: So does a good cup o' joe....
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: Franco that's definitely a story for the schoolyard though!
	11:57pm Mod Mokka Matti: Thank you, DJ DB!
	🌫 11:57pm chresti: Thanks Daniel!
	11:59pm ultradamno: Thanks for an inbluminating evening
	🌫 11:59pm chresti: Smooth move, ex-lax!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Stellar program Daniel! you spoil us! Tak
	🌫 12:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Probably a little late to request one from Swedish death metal group Thörax, I guess.
	12:00am fleep: Thorax for everything, DB
	2:28am Daniel Blumin: Kind thank yous, you 'n you and the archivist massive! See y'all next week!
	12:00pm coelacanth∅: i don't normally re-listen to an episode so soon after the first time but i couldn't wait! (and perfect timing 'cuz now Mayuko is starting!) Thanks again Daniel!

	9:20pm TDK60: I opened a door. I saw a radio on a stand; I approached it. I pressed the 'on' button. The dial, it's locked to a certain frequency. Good evening.
	9:20pm John from Florham park: @NGH when I used to live in South Florida that’s what I would get at night
	9:21pm fleep: And .... dip!
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: Ah, similar experience, @TDK60. Good to come home and find you fine folx.
	9:24pm Daniel Blumin: Welcome onboard, Freeformists! Greetz, ultrad, Stashu, Mr. P, chresti, fleep, Aitch, John from FP, MMM, wendy df, coela, Billy Jam, ngh, Granny ST, TDK, Handy and the lurkah massive!!!
	9:26pm P-90: Privet, Daniel and The Blumintelligentsia.
	9:26pm Handy Haversack: Everything about the "You've Got Foetus On Your Breath" row on the playlist is making me upset that I missed it, including the spelling.
	9:26pm ultradamno: The way things are going, I'm thinking I should like to look into changing my driver's license preference to donating my body to hungry cats than to science or whatever it is now.
	9:26pm coelacanth∅: if i'd known that the jehovah's witnesses that used to knock on my door all the time sounded like this i would've listened to them
	9:27pm Mr. Pumpy: Love me some Sly! Drone on...
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: haha oh..."wetness". well i didn't ever say anything that mean to them.
	9:28pm Mod Mokka Matti: The JWs around here either died out, or finally got the message that we weren't interested in what they had seen.
	9:28pm P-90: So Daniel, do you have a photo with Lev Parnas? It seems that almost everyone does, I’m starting to feel a bit left out for not having one...
	9:29pm fleep: Oddly enough, they were right. These are the end times.
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: fleep i was just thinking that recently. oh well, we had a fair run.
	9:31pm Handy Haversack: We were just discussing on the M train whether teaching your current crop of high school kids theater and other arts would just interfere in their readiness for the coming water wars. No decisions reached.
	9:31pm coelacanth∅: - i don't know if they predicted that it'd be humans that brought about the end; but i guess the end justifies the means.
	🌫 9:35pm brycepunk1: Loving this set so far, Sir Blumin.
	9:36pm Daniel Blumin: p-90! I can't tell you due to the deep cover, see? brycepunk! Thx!!!
	9:37pm Mr. Pumpy: D-Bloom...I'm with brycepunk...this shite is sending me!
	9:37pm Jay Gilbert: SkronkRumbleWarbleBonkBamalicious!
	9:38pm fleep: P-90 As fascinating as Parnas' story is, I couldn't stop looking at the Zero Mostel work he did with his hair
	9:39pm Daniel Blumin: Thx, Mr P!!! Hola, Jay G!
	9:39pm TDK60: The meanies are justified till the end?
	9:40pm Mr. Pumpy: coelacanth∅...I'm not sure who 'they' are...but I'm going to say they predicted it. Humans...everything. A fart in Moscow at 9:21 EST...humans. A supernova on the far side of the Milky Way...humans. The butterfly effect...all along, erroneously named...humans.
	9:41pm Handy Haversack: Butterflies will try to take credit for literally anything, Mr. Pumpy.
	9:42pm Mr. Pumpy: This disc is straight up Glocken!
	9:43pm Mr. Pumpy: @Handy...I see. Greedy, wispy a-holes. Shit...they can have it!
	9:43pm coelacanth∅: yes those seemingly innocuous butterflies. -sent from some other solar system to ruin us. bastards.
	9:44pm Handy Haversack: We should have seen it coming. Who ever bought that whole cocoon scam?!
	9:45pm ultradamno: And nobody gives moths credit for anything, just for having the sense to stay out of the sunlight.
	9:46pm Mod Mokka Matti: The Goths of the insect world
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: ha! "cocoons". you ever look closely at one of those? you can see the windows and the missile launchers plain as day. (with a magnifying glass)
	🌫 9:47pm chresti: Haha coel
	9:48pm Jay Gilbert: They crashed to Earth millennia ago in a Lepidopteroid.
	🌫 9:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello to the tri-state Blumin area!
	9:49pm fleep: I remember the Insect Wars. I'm the last of the Brunnen-G.
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: Lepidopteroid!
	9:52pm TDK60: In a few minutes the 10 PM quiet hours rule begins in NYC. I'm going to turn this down real quickly and irk the neighbors.
	🌫 9:53pm Aitch: I thought it was the city that never sleeps?
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: had to look that up. -and i thought the biggest insect war was between honey bees and yellowjackets. (i wouldn't call the cicadas vs. the cicada killers a way. -a massacre really. mass cicadacide.)
	9:55pm TDK60: Aitch, actually that's what my neighbors seem to think, especially the ones right above me.
	9:56pm Mike Wolf: yes Daniel, more of this please, i’m giving my upstairs neighbors a workout the fuckers
	🌫 9:57pm chresti: Reporting from SoCal. Great set, Daniel!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: hay, as it turns out today is judgement day! www.checkiday.com...
	9:57pm Jay Gilbert: @coelacanthØ glad you liked it. I have a buddy who is an entymologist, so I love bugging him (pun intended) with random insect questions. Also, if anybody wants "lepidopteroid" as a title for some music, feel free...
	9:58pm Mr. Pumpy: Chrysalis my ass!
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: well -lepidopteroids might explain all those tiny craters in the lawn.
	10:00pm TDK60: ah yes, Dave Mandl was here; we kept him on his aesthetic toes.
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: Mr.P haha
	10:02pm Mr. Pumpy: I took a great entomology class down at Rutgers in the 90s, Insects and Man (bugs and dudes), and I recall the stat stating that there are a quarter of a million insects for every human on the planet. If this is even close to accurate, I'm glad as fuck that my lot aren't here in my house with me!
	10:03pm Mike Wolf: Daniel just for tonight can you make your on-air voice scarier somehow so for to continue the assault on my neighbors during your microphone breaks just for tonight please
	10:03pm ultradamno: My aunt was a jehovah's witness and that woman could drink. Not a 'dry' house at all.
	10:03pm ParUbi: "200 million There are something like 10 quintillion insects alive on the planet at any given time, and 200 million insects per human being on the face of the earth."
	10:04pm Handy Haversack: You can't spell "mother" without "moth" -- but you can't always trust your mother.
	10:04pm ParUbi: Hi everyone, Daniel
	10:05pm Mod Mokka Matti: How many of those insects are on/in a human's face at any given moment in time?
	10:05pm ?: Commercial Free? That would be so un-Amurican.
	10:06pm Handy Haversack: Was really digging that "Class I," BTW, Daniel!
	10:06pm Mike Wolf: i like “I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!” Daniel
	10:06pm ultradamno: I do appreciate Ken Starr reappearing if only that he's solidified his status as partisan operator (if that were actually necessary).
	10:07pm Jay Gilbert: @Mr. Pumpy They're outside your door, wearing white shirts & plain black ties. They want to talk to you about Jesus, but they can't reach the doorbell...
	10:07pm coelacanth∅: i've known a few jehova's witnesses, quite friendly with a couple -they celebrated nothing, didn't drink alcohol or do any other drugs, didn't eat meat, didn't have surgery for any reason...
	10:08pm ParUbi: Prince died because of the blood transfusion prohibition, right?
	10:10pm coelacanth∅: someone i knew took a course on "statistics" and i forget the numbers but there are quite a few creatures (like tens or hundreds of thousands) living on each of every human's eyelids at all times.
	10:11pm ultradamno: @coel Transfusions. Precious bodily fluids are a big deal with them.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: was Prince a jw? (hi ParUbi!)
	10:12pm fleep: a human is 40% human cells and 60% microbes
	10:12pm coelacanth∅: oh that sounds right ultra d
	10:12pm Handy Haversack: those black ties are part of the thorax.
	10:13pm Mr. Pumpy: @Para...WHAAAA?!?!?!?!?! Damn...that's a good protein stream right there.
	10:13pm ParUbi: "Thorax" is such a lovely word
	🌫 10:13pm chresti: Haha
	10:13pm ultradamno: Prince's Life as a JW www.billboard.com...
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: maybe we can get Daniel to say "thorax" during his next mic break
	10:14pm ParUbi: @Coel-- he sure was
	10:15pm Mr. Pumpy: thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax! thorax!
	10:15pm ultradamno: David Thomas is too. Diamanda Galas said he through a fit they were on the same bill ("I don't want to be around this satanist singer"), though I get the impression she could embellish, so who knows.
	10:15pm ParUbi: Makes me wonder if our universe is part of a bug's nose
	10:15pm George of Troy: Salute, Daniel!
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: hmm, well "Aunt Mary" (as we knew her) wouldn't even take aspirin. just herbal remedies.
	10:17pm Daniel Blumin: All hail, George!
	10:17pm coelacanth∅: thorax
	10:18pm ParUbi: Protein for the 21st century
	10:18pm Jay Gilbert: Thorax
	10:18pm ultradamno: Is there a band called Thorax Backwards? There should be.
	10:19pm Mr. Pumpy: Our universe is an entire bug's nose...not a quorum of insect noses. They can make decisions...get shit done. Bow down to your nasal, insectile reality. It's a pleasure...
	10:19pm Ike: Good evening all! Is it chattier than usual here tonight? I'd wager a guess that a lot of us decided it was too cold to go out, yeah?
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: ever since i learned what an atom is i imagined our solar system is an atom.
	10:19pm Mike Wolf: this is the greatest thing ever maybe
	🌫 10:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: A bug's life, indeed.
	10:20pm Jay Gilbert: @Ike you bet your thorax it is
	🌫 10:20pm chresti: Code word: Thorax
	10:20pm coelacanth∅: it's pretty fucking amazing!
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: xaroht
	10:21pm ParUbi: sounds like some kind of Mayan demon or something
	10:21pm Mod Mokka Matti: @ParUbi: My late father and I used to have conversations centering around themes similar to that - i.e. what is this universe that we know (very little of), accept, and are part of, in turn really part of? A giant insect's nose isn't all that much different than what we considered...
	10:21pm Mr. Pumpy: I saw Xaroht play with Mayehm and Anaal Nathrakh this past fall. It was a killer bill. Part of the Satan's Proboscis Tour.
	10:22pm TDK60: Thanks Daniel, for operating the studio controls so assiduously.
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: hahaha!
	10:22pm ParUbi: @MMM-- love those kinds of conversations. Leibniz posed a similar idea a while back. Who knows?
	10:23pm Jay Gilbert: The Thorax Nose
	10:24pm ParUbi: The movie I have on just went into the karmic debt a character has for killing insects
	10:25pm Daniel Blumin: Mike & TDK, glad ya digg!
	10:27pm ParUbi: I think everyone's in the mood for some Mandible Chatter...
	10:27pm Jay Gilbert: YES!
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: i guess i should go put something in the oven -since it's hot ...i pray to Thorax i don't run out of heating oil before the delivery monday
	10:33pm Mod Mokka Matti: As someone who grew up involved with gardening (and still am), I find myself in a quandary at times, dealing with what may be considered more harmful representatives of the insect population. If everything has a defined function in the ecosystem, then who am I to deny the continued existence of that being? Yet, if the situation isn't mitigated, it could become a greater problem. I try to be as benign in my management as possible, while promoting the overall health of the garden I'm stewarding. I certainly have one of the epicenters of local bee activity here in the summers, and do what I can to avoid harming them, in particular.
	10:33pm yippie: this is some great whale hunting music
	10:34pm TDK60: So this is what happens when you think about our great country in French, huh?
	10:35pm Mr. Pumpy: @yippie...Ahab's Playlist right here. Music to scrimshaw by...
	🌫 10:35pm chresti: Haunting whale hunting music
	10:35pm ParUbi: Some old god sleeps beneath those waves
	10:36pm Mod Mokka Matti: It could make for some contemplative Schnauzer-walking music...which is what I am being told to embark on at the moment, by my doggo.
	10:37pm ParUbi: @MMM-- each of those little critters has its own way of being. I identify with that hesitancy.
	10:37pm Jay Gilbert: Thorax! glub glub THORAAAAAAAaaaaaxxxxx!!!
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: MMM i have felt that way. by the time i was a teenager i wouldn't kill anything unless it was actively sucking, stinging, biting or being a parasite. the truth i came to learn, once i started gardening, as you know, is that the insects that are a problem became a problem because of human interference. yellow jackets, japanese beetles, slugs, potato beetles, squash beetles, gypsy moths...(etc etc) so i justify my saving my garden, other people's gardens, and potentially the well-being of myself and others. i hate killing them and i suffer spiritually for doing it, but i feel i have to.
	10:42pm Handy Haversack: Formal thorax. It's Friday night.
	10:43pm Kat in Chicago: Coming out of lurkerville to indicate my appreciation for the high quality of both the music and the chat tonight.
	10:45pm Jay Gilbert: @Handy Haversack Wait- I thought it was "Casual Thorax Fridays"...when did it change?
	10:46pm Mr. Pumpy: Always a thoraxmaid, never a thorax.
	10:46pm Metalfunkel: I want to build a lean-to in the forest and protect myself against the onslaught of this show, but in a good way.
	10:47pm Ryab: hi all
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ...i feel like the war i've waged on my sister's 3 acres on yellow jackets and japanese beetles has resulted in a much much more diverse insect and bird population there and for her neighbors, who are beekeepers. the difference over the past 6 years is obvious. lots of bees and non-asshole wasps. probably 1/200th the number of yellow jackets. (there was a big problem)
	10:47pm Daniel Blumin: Kat! Thankses fer unlurking and the kind words!
	10:48pm Daniel Blumin: Metalfunkel, that's a great descrip/reaction! Love it!
	10:50pm Mr. Pumpy: @coelacanth∅...1/200th? That's a sharp eye! Anyhow...glad you're sculpting the insect population. Less asshole thoraxes is a good thing.
	🌫 10:50pm chresti: I love this Holves
	10:51pm Metalfunkel: I need to be this freaking goth. How do achieve this? Do I need a neck tattoo or something? Please say I can achieve it without that.
	10:51pm Mr. Pumpy: This Holves?!
	10:53pm chris_in_space: Comin' out of the shadows to trip openly. This set is nuts.
	10:53pm ParUbi: Somewhere between halves and (w)hole
	🌫 10:53pm chresti: Song Title@Mr. Pumpy
	🌫 10:54pm chresti: Agree with chris
	10:55pm ParUbi: It's thoracically hallucinatory
	🌫 10:56pm chresti: Or hooves
	10:57pm Daniel Blumin: Metalf, no neck tattoos necessary - all you gotta do is click your heels three times!
	10:58pm Daniel Blumin: chris_in_space, thanks fer emerging! Appreciate the earses!
	10:58pm TDK60: Well ustedes, I am tired. The candles are extinguished. I now proceed to the chamber of sleep. I hope some of you stay up later than I do. Take shifts...
	11:00pm Metalfunkel: infinity, am I right people?
	11:01pm fleep: Aloha TDK
	11:02pm fleep: This is crazy good
	11:02pm ultradamno: This sounds like a score for a movie about hunting elves that look like kraftwerk.
	11:04pm Mr. Pumpy: The background music sounds like Ennio Morricone's Hateful Eight score. Looped. Mobius Thorax.
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: Night, @TDK60. May your thorax always be sufficient for the level of dress. It's all in the attitude, @Jay Gilbert.
	11:05pm N. Ron Hubble: Don Harper - Dank Earth (2014). It’s amazing what turns up in Shazam these days.
	11:06pm Metalfunkel: Wait, do you mean to imply Kraftwerk are not already elves? This is nuts.
	🌫 11:06pm chresti: Goodnight TDK60.
	11:07pm ParUbi: Well, machine elves are still elves, after all
	11:07pm Mr. Pumpy: @Enron...that's what is playing now?!
	11:09pm ultradamno: I thought they were robots...robot elves, sure, but...
	11:09pm N. Ron Hubble: Ya
	11:09pm ultradamno: ...no pot of gold.
	11:09pm Metalfunkel: all Kraftwerk cover band: "Machine Elves". Anybody play bass?
	11:10pm Mr. Pumpy: Ya ya...just checked it. I wish it was on wax.
	11:10pm Mr. Pumpy: I'll play bass in Machine Elves.
	11:10pm Handy Haversack: By this logic, we have to let all elves have oil. I am uncomfortable.
	🌫 11:12pm chresti: I think there were/are elves in the Santa Cruz mountains.
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: Mr.P @ 10.50 (i went and cooked something) -i know that was a joke! ..but i think that figure is very low. 4 years ago there were at least 2 big nests -thousands of wasps each; entering or leaving the nest at a rate of 1-2/second; and 3-4 smaller ones -probably having hundreds or maybe 1-2 thousand yellowjackets in each. last summer there was only one small one -maybe a couple hundred wasps. ....thousands of honey bees -which i could work amidst without incident.
	11:13pm ParUbi: I spotted an elf earlier today. He's new to lifting.
	11:15pm Metalfunkel: Elf programs his own computer. Beams himself into the future.
	🌫 11:15pm chresti: Do elves eat termites?
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: gnight TDK someone needs to make a track so badass that Daniel HAS TO play it...and call it "thorax"
	11:15pm N. Ron Hubble: It’s on vinyl https://www.discogs.com/Don-Harper-Cold-Worlds/release/5825833 (is that spam?) so, err .. getchyer ya yas out and buy buy buy
	11:16pm Handy Haversack: @Metalfunkel, PLEASE let that be the setup for an amazing joke.
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: chresti -you mean, aside from termite elves?
	11:18pm Mr. Pumpy: @N. Ron...cool. Didn't find it for some reason. I was on discogs and some thorax must have disc-blocked me.
	11:18pm Jay Gilbert: Elves? Holves? Thorelves?
	11:19pm Daniel Blumin: N. Ron, I'm just glad me voice didn't get in the way!
	11:20pm Mr. Pumpy: Elves in the Holveroom
	11:21pm Handy Haversack: Elvax of Thorholve.
	11:21pm Metalfunkel: but of course it's a take on the coldly-technical yet beautiful "Home Computer" from Kraftwerk's Computerworld. "Beam myself into the future." They predicted all of this crap.
	11:21pm N. Ron Hubble: Just as you started speaking, it came up with “sending”. The suspense was incredible.
	🌫 11:22pm chresti: Haha coel.
	11:23pm Wuthry Guffy: Everyone take a kneel if you will... now slap the shit out the other one. Guffaw we did it!
	🌫 11:24pm chresti: Elvax Prexly
	🌫 11:24pm Franco Twinkie: Hello Daniel and co. I just woke up, so I won't even get into the bug thing.
	11:25pm Daniel Blumin: Franco, we're moving on to birds anyhow!
	11:26pm Wuthry Guffy: Take a knee ****forgive old guffys thumbs.! Hope the instructions were easy enough.
	🌫 11:26pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, let me think.
	11:26pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, now we have this whole bluebird issue. Like they're even blue.
	11:26pm ultradamno: Molting, dude. Feathers don't shed.
	11:26pm Mr. Pumpy: Ornithrax. Bird bodies...
	11:27pm Mr. Pumpy: This track is insane! Turns to gold!!!!
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: it's just the chlorophyll in their feathers that make them look blue. as soon as they stop with the photosynthesis they turn crazy colors.
	11:29pm Billy Jam: this song - along with "Rappers Delight" - is among contemporary music's greatest songs
	11:29pm Handy Haversack: I thought it was because they had horseshoe crabs for blood.
	🌫 11:29pm Franco Twinkie: For a short time, I had an owl. It lived on the screen porch. It would eat chicks and mice then throw up feathers and bones.
	11:30pm ultradamno: Birds are just honked off all the time 'cause they used to be dinosaurs.
	11:30pm Handy Haversack: Never trust anyone over 265,000,000 years old!
	11:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Billy...ha! Agreed. Cuz they catchy!
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: Handy H yes you might be right. i once got a case of horseshoe crabs from a transfusion and they said it was bird blood.
	11:32pm Marley Dogg: Güten rag
	11:33pm Marley Dogg: *güten tag
	11:33pm Mr. Pumpy: Sugar Bird Thorax is the first ambient rap group to put out a single.
	11:34pm Handy Haversack: @coel, you can't keep going back to those salt-water transfusionists. You know how they are. Everything's a chemical, they say. Well, sure, but what about biology?
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: i just put my faith in Thorax
	11:37pm Handy Haversack: I didn't mention this earlier, but Gary Gygax was also a JW. Thorax connection?!?!
	🌫 11:37pm Franco Twinkie: I though you were just saying something nutty, Coel, then I looked up horse shoe crabs. Oh my!
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: Franco the last transfusion i had, about 3 this afternoon, they used chipmunk blood. i might be saying something nutty.
	11:40pm Handy Haversack: Did you go in just saying that you had a corn?
	11:41pm Daniel Blumin: Heya, Marley D! I hope you are oscillating comfortably!
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: i did have some corn; but no i went in for a pedicure. this seems to always happen.
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: (and my nails still look like shit)
	11:45pm Handy Haversack: Sometimes the pedicure is worse than the pedidisease .
	11:45pm coelacanth∅: hahaha
	🌫 11:48pm Franco Twinkie: I just remembered something: When I was a youngster, the kid across the street came over in total panic and told me there was a giant bug in the gutter in front of his house. I went to investigate and it turned out to me a crab. We puzzled over it and then I went back inside to watch TV. The only reasonable explanation for it been there was his older sisters boyfriend was a surfer and would sleep in car in front of their house. I think he brought it from the beach.
	11:49pm Handy Haversack: Would def. be an unterthorax in that German army. Great track!
	🌫 11:54pm chresti: Isn't there a Dr, Seuss character named Thorax?
	11:55pm ultradamno: He speaks for the fleas
	🌫 11:55pm Franco Twinkie: You are thinking of the Lorax, dear.
	11:55pm Handy Haversack: Or Borat.
	11:55pm Mod Mokka Matti: Oh, bug talk yet...?
	🌫 11:55pm chresti: haha ex-lax, perfect!
	11:56pm Mod Mokka Matti: No fleas, please!
	11:56pm ultradamno: Smooth move
	🌫 11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Raymond Scott would have been great at fart noises.
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: tee hee hee
	11:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Daniel!
	11:56pm Mod Mokka Matti: So does a good cup o' joe....
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: Franco that's definitely a story for the schoolyard though!
	11:57pm Mod Mokka Matti: Thank you, DJ DB!
	🌫 11:57pm chresti: Thanks Daniel!
	11:59pm ultradamno: Thanks for an inbluminating evening
	🌫 11:59pm chresti: Smooth move, ex-lax!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Stellar program Daniel! you spoil us! Tak
	🌫 12:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Probably a little late to request one from Swedish death metal group Thörax, I guess.
	12:00am fleep: Thorax for everything, DB
	2:28am Daniel Blumin: Kind thank yous, you 'n you and the archivist massive! See y'all next week!
	12:00pm coelacanth∅: i don't normally re-listen to an episode so soon after the first time but i couldn't wait! (and perfect timing 'cuz now Mayuko is starting!) Thanks again Daniel!
