	11:14am Kat in Chicago in the app: Listening at work until someone comes over to bother me and I have to take my earbuds out. Nice to hear you!

	11:34am Jan Turkenburg: Hi Otis and his Friendly Persuaders!
	11:37am Otis Fodder: I step away and the chat room sparkles with fantastic friends. Hi all!
	11:37am Jan Turkenburg: There are a lot of words Dutch and Norwegian have in common i hear :-)
	11:37am Otis Fodder: Oh god yes, Dynamite! Loved that mag!
	11:47am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): I think what i like is Sunshine Pop.
	11:52am melinda: @Granny I definitely like sunshine pop, but I’m not crazy about the term
	11:53am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Now i realize that why i always like The Electric Banana is because they're to The Pretty Things what The Dukes of Stratospheare were to XTC
	11:54am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): melinda: this is why it's important to keep mutating the language! ;)
	11:57am Martinibomb: dukes of the stratosphere are total faves! haven't heard them in awhile @granny
	11:59am Rich in Washington: dang schedule. I still can't get the hang of it.
	12:00pm melinda: My aunt had a cat named Chester, and another named Huddle.
	12:00pm melinda: Some sunshine pop sounds more hazy to me.
	12:01pm melinda: Yes, Malvina Reynolds wrote Little Boxes.
	12:04pm Mr Fab: Yo ho Otis! And fellow friends of Friendly-ness. i actually have that "Holiday In New York" album but haven't gotten around to listening to it yet. (As with so many other records) Should I?
	12:05pm Rich in Washington: I also have the Holiday in New York. It's kind of peculiar. Its cover has glitter set in the artwork.
	12:06pm melinda: Meatballs!
	12:06pm Martinibomb: Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
	12:07pm Martinibomb: @fab arrr matey ahoy!
	12:10pm Otis Fodder: Gonna catch up on comments here mighty quick. Hello all. RICH! FAB! GST! JAN! MELINDA!
	12:20pm Rich in Washington: Hi Otis! Hi everybody!
	12:24pm melinda: The Bluetooth speaker here in the store where I work has crappy volume adjustments and I always worry about playing music too loud for customers, but when someone wanders in having a phone conversation I’m happy to blast the tunes.
	12:26pm Otis Fodder: That's great. I will be playing some Blowfly soon... but will preface it with MELINDA turn down the volume. Haaaa.
	12:27pm melinda: Haha
	12:31pm Rich in Washington: I think Dennis Dragon was the Surf Punks one, right?
	12:33pm Otis Fodder: That's right Rich, I heard that too!
	12:41pm Rich in Washington: oh yeah!
	12:43pm Rich in Washington: That debut Negativland LP is something else.
	12:44pm Rich in Washington: I remember hearing snippets from it on late night Portland radio during the 80s and having no idea what it was for many years.
	12:47pm Rich in Washington: He's pretty emphatic with that 'SAY IT!'. Don't we get a choice?
	12:47pm Otis Fodder: So good. Breaking out stuff out of the old 'Ovenguard' music stash now. Just added this Wobbly to Discogs.
	12:48pm Martinibomb: goood stuff
	12:53pm Rich in Washington: Fascinating. I was not really aware of Wobbly's stuff until he sort of gravitated towards People Like Us and Negativland.
	1:02pm Mr Fab: ha, Bob n Doug!
	1:02pm Martinibomb: I wish I was better at scratching
	1:03pm Otis Fodder: I was blown away when first hearing this Koala tape in the late 1990s... outside of Tipsy, this one made a huge mental mark, still engraved.
	1:03pm Martinibomb: ^same here
	1:09pm Martinibomb: I almost did a music video for Kid Koala back in the day.. met him a few times. It just never worked out for some reason
	1:10pm Otis Fodder: That would have been cool!
	1:14pm Martinibomb: The cool thing about having a longer show as you and I know.. is that you can play long-form sutff
	1:17pm Otis Fodder: Totally, I have a 16-min cut I want to play soon. Like the stretch-out.
	1:26pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Hmm, might be a good time to go grab lunch...
	1:27pm Sonderangebot: Perfect for my porno job!
	1:30pm Mr Fab: Chancing upon this album at a record store parking-lot blowout sale was my introduction to the weird world of Blowfly. Not long after, i saw him live and it was literally the most star-studded show i'd even been to. had no idea what a rep the guy had.
	1:33pm Otis Fodder: This was your first, ha! Wow, what an intro. My intro was Zodiac Blowfly which became one of the 'what is your sign' funny bits at house parties.
	1:34pm Otis Fodder: @Sonderangebot - Ran across a stack of porno flexis a few years back... planning a 'blue' show one week this year where it's all NSFW and headphones only. Some of it is SO bad, like just bad and funny.
	1:35pm Martinibomb: omfg a Bossa-nanny LOL
	1:38pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow, Otis! Do you suppose they came with a magazine (no pun intended!)?
	1:38pm Rich in Washington: The juxtaposition of THIS after that Blowfly has my head spinning.
	1:38pm Otis Fodder: Ha!
	1:39pm Rich in Washington: this makes me want to join Students for Nixon.
	1:40pm Otis Fodder: The folks behind The Going Thing is The Love Generation.
	1:41pm Rich in Washington: Those CA-RAZY rock and roll songs!
	1:42pm Rich in Washington: Iʇ γoυ qlɒγ tʜiƨ dɒɔʞwɒɿbƨ it ƨɒγƨ Ƨɒtɒn dυilt mγ tɒqɘ ɿɘɔoɿbɘɿ in Ⴇɘƨ Moinɘƨ Iowɒ witʜ non-Union lɒdoɿ
	1:44pm Otis Fodder: You're gonna blow up the internetz!
	1:44pm Otis Fodder: Falling asleep with ribbons here.
	1:45pm Sonderangebot: @Otis Wow I can't wait! Please do it! In any case the music you play is a perfect companion to the "sexy" images I have to work on here.
	1:46pm Otis Fodder: The juxtaposition of Ford playing must be wonderful! Yea!
	1:49pm Rich in Washington: I dig this rock and roll music. It is both rock AND roll.
	1:49pm Mr Fab: Did they really just sing: "Herbie Alpert, how did you manage/You were Jewish, but now you're Spanish"?!
	1:52pm Mr Fab: We just had Li'l Fab's birthday party at a restaurant where you can play classic video games for free. Mrs Fab made Pac Man cookies!
	1:55pm Otis Fodder: Yes, they did Fab at the end of TJ Taxi! That's an awesome party, RAD!
	1:56pm Rich in Washington: Happy Be Day, Li'l Fab!
	1:58pm Rich in Washington: This record is so mind pummelingly dull without music. It's sort of amazing that they didn't at least put some kind of stock music under it. Such a great artifact of its time, though.
	1:59pm Mr Fab: I hadn't played Frogger in, like, DECADES. The phrase 'Conquer The Video Craze' makes no sense. Good thing about it not having background music - sampling! Something I've been meaning to do with this album, drops bits from it into the Sheean stream.
	1:59pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Anyone notice any playlist issues today (besides "no comments in Safari")? Otis's playlist has been a beta test today. Comment here or email me at kenzo at wfmu.org.
	2:00pm Otis Fodder: It is huh! Conquer the boredom craze.
	2:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): P.S. Long fan of Wobbly, probably introduced at an Ovenguard show while I was in San Francisco.
	2:01pm Otis Fodder: None at all Kenzo. Not one blip. Thanks as always!!
	2:01pm Rich in Washington: Wobbly's coming to my town next month, as part of Negativland.
	2:05pm Otis Fodder: Kenzo, did you go to the Ovenguard show in 1998 in Oakland, I played with Big City Orchestra's dAS and Phiineas Narco (we put contact mics on a popcorn popper and served up snacks).
	2:06pm Otis Fodder: I wish they were coming to Montreal. Last show I saw was at Great American Music Hall in SF in 2005 - All in your Head or something or other, lots of fun!
	2:08pm Rich in Washington: They're doing a planned series of little dinky tours. They'll likely get up your way, but it may take a while. Hopefully US and Canada borders will still be relatively open by then and free travel will be possible throughout states/provinces.
	2:10pm Rich in Washington: working on arranging a live radio simulcast of their Portland show as I write this. Hopefully can pull it off.
	2:10pm Otis Fodder: Same old issue with border and acts, never know and crossing fingers. Total crapshoot it seems. Was sad when Messer Chups had a show planned a couple years back and yep, no go at border.
	2:11pm Mr Fab: Bummer, Otis! Spacebrother Greg & I saw Messer Chups a few years ago. Guess we got lucky.
	2:12pm Otis Fodder: One day hope to see them play live. On my bucket list of shows to see.
	2:12pm Rich in Washington: Fingers crossed for Einsturzende Neubauten later this year. I heard some rumblings about visa issues but I guess it's gonna happen. Scored tickets before it sold out.
	2:13pm Otis Fodder: Ooooh, that's gonna be a good show if you can go.
	2:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @Otis: That all sounds super familiar, but I think I was there in 1999. I think I had MP3's of the 1998 show.
	2:13pm Mr Fab: Wow, them Collapsing New Buildings are still around, eh? Still destroying stuff on stage?
	2:14pm Rich in Washington: I don't think they've ever played Portland, but I could be wrong.
	2:16pm Rich in Washington: They are now referred to as Einstürzende Alte Deutsche. One of them drums on his walker.
	2:16pm Rich in Washington: I kid. I should talk: I pulled a muscle by reaching for my phone in my left rear pocket with my right arm.
	2:17pm Martinibomb: Very cool!
	2:27pm Rich in Washington: Someone recently pointed out to me that Mike Watt sounds like Bender from Futurama on his podcast and now I cannot unhear it.
	2:28pm Otis Fodder: Gonna play later and think of Bender, haaaaa
	2:33pm Rich in Washington: This is really cool!
	2:35pm Otis Fodder: Really great 1969 collage/editing on this one.
	2:37pm Rich in Washington: Yeah! That's what I was shooting for on a recent show, pieces of music from the late 60s with elements of sound collage in them. This would've fit the bill perfectly, had I known about it.
	2:37pm Rich in Washington: neat to hear, the use of tape collage in this kind of music.
	2:38pm Otis Fodder: Reminds me so much, in a way, of the amazing 'Sing Me A Song Of Songmy'
	2:38pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, exactly.
	2:38pm Otis Fodder: ... but 2 years before Songmy this way. Love it.
	2:39pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, or Salvatore Martirano's L's GA
	2:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This makes me think of Walter Murch's work in The Conversation somehow.
	2:40pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah. Murch.
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: Another weird one is The John Benson Brooks Trio's Avant Slant, but the tape parts sound recorded in the studio from a script, rather than pieced together audio vérité style
	2:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Otis, what are you streaming with? I wonder if it's force-sending (empty) metadata, and that's why there's no song info in the live MP3 stream.
	2:43pm Otis Fodder: Sending with BUTT.
	2:43pm Otis Fodder: Yes, Avant Slant too. Good one!
	2:45pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): In BUTT settings, Stream tab, do you have anything set there?
	2:49pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Otis! Wonderful show today!
	2:50pm Mr Fab: As much as I love John Oswald, i never got around to this album. Y'know, Grateful Dead...but plunderphonic-ing anything sounds cool, of course.
	2:52pm Otis Fodder: @Kenzo - nothing in stream, just the 'update song info' from file and manually.
	2:53pm BC Sterrett: Howdy Folks
	2:55pm Otis Fodder: Thanks for listening all. Hey BC!
	2:56pm Mr Fab: Mucho grassy-ass, Otis! Swim in the stream til tomorrow, when the hump-day programming kicks off with Jan's groovy Dutch a-go-go sounds at 1pm, WFMU time.
	2:59pm BC Sterrett: A Christian Puppet show. Yay!
	3:00pm Otis Fodder: Ha, I kid. That's your show! Ha ha. Here's Joey!
	3:02pm BC Sterrett: I will do a show like that sometime, ...but it will be painful. If you're serious, can't wait to see what you play :)

	12:47pm Rich in Washington: He's pretty emphatic with that 'SAY IT!'. Don't we get a choice?
	12:47pm Otis Fodder: So good. Breaking out stuff out of the old 'Ovenguard' music stash now. Just added this Wobbly to Discogs.
	12:48pm Martinibomb: goood stuff
	12:53pm Rich in Washington: Fascinating. I was not really aware of Wobbly's stuff until he sort of gravitated towards People Like Us and Negativland.
	1:02pm Mr Fab: ha, Bob n Doug!
	1:02pm Martinibomb: I wish I was better at scratching
	1:03pm Otis Fodder: I was blown away when first hearing this Koala tape in the late 1990s... outside of Tipsy, this one made a huge mental mark, still engraved.
	1:03pm Martinibomb: ^same here
	1:09pm Martinibomb: I almost did a music video for Kid Koala back in the day.. met him a few times. It just never worked out for some reason
	1:10pm Otis Fodder: That would have been cool!
	1:14pm Martinibomb: The cool thing about having a longer show as you and I know.. is that you can play long-form sutff
	1:17pm Otis Fodder: Totally, I have a 16-min cut I want to play soon. Like the stretch-out.
	1:26pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Hmm, might be a good time to go grab lunch...
	1:27pm Sonderangebot: Perfect for my porno job!
	1:30pm Mr Fab: Chancing upon this album at a record store parking-lot blowout sale was my introduction to the weird world of Blowfly. Not long after, i saw him live and it was literally the most star-studded show i'd even been to. had no idea what a rep the guy had.
	1:33pm Otis Fodder: This was your first, ha! Wow, what an intro. My intro was Zodiac Blowfly which became one of the 'what is your sign' funny bits at house parties.
	1:34pm Otis Fodder: @Sonderangebot - Ran across a stack of porno flexis a few years back... planning a 'blue' show one week this year where it's all NSFW and headphones only. Some of it is SO bad, like just bad and funny.
	1:35pm Martinibomb: omfg a Bossa-nanny LOL
	1:38pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow, Otis! Do you suppose they came with a magazine (no pun intended!)?
	1:38pm Rich in Washington: The juxtaposition of THIS after that Blowfly has my head spinning.
	1:38pm Otis Fodder: Ha!
	1:39pm Rich in Washington: this makes me want to join Students for Nixon.
	1:40pm Otis Fodder: The folks behind The Going Thing is The Love Generation.
	1:41pm Rich in Washington: Those CA-RAZY rock and roll songs!
	1:42pm Rich in Washington: Iʇ γoυ qlɒγ tʜiƨ dɒɔʞwɒɿbƨ it ƨɒγƨ Ƨɒtɒn dυilt mγ tɒqɘ ɿɘɔoɿbɘɿ in Ⴇɘƨ Moinɘƨ Iowɒ witʜ non-Union lɒdoɿ
	1:44pm Otis Fodder: You're gonna blow up the internetz!
	1:44pm Otis Fodder: Falling asleep with ribbons here.
	1:45pm Sonderangebot: @Otis Wow I can't wait! Please do it! In any case the music you play is a perfect companion to the "sexy" images I have to work on here.
	1:46pm Otis Fodder: The juxtaposition of Ford playing must be wonderful! Yea!
	1:49pm Rich in Washington: I dig this rock and roll music. It is both rock AND roll.
	1:49pm Mr Fab: Did they really just sing: "Herbie Alpert, how did you manage/You were Jewish, but now you're Spanish"?!
	1:52pm Mr Fab: We just had Li'l Fab's birthday party at a restaurant where you can play classic video games for free. Mrs Fab made Pac Man cookies!
	1:55pm Otis Fodder: Yes, they did Fab at the end of TJ Taxi! That's an awesome party, RAD!
	1:56pm Rich in Washington: Happy Be Day, Li'l Fab!
	1:58pm Rich in Washington: This record is so mind pummelingly dull without music. It's sort of amazing that they didn't at least put some kind of stock music under it. Such a great artifact of its time, though.
	1:59pm Mr Fab: I hadn't played Frogger in, like, DECADES. The phrase 'Conquer The Video Craze' makes no sense. Good thing about it not having background music - sampling! Something I've been meaning to do with this album, drops bits from it into the Sheean stream.
	1:59pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Anyone notice any playlist issues today (besides "no comments in Safari")? Otis's playlist has been a beta test today. Comment here or email me at kenzo at wfmu.org.
	2:00pm Otis Fodder: It is huh! Conquer the boredom craze.
	2:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): P.S. Long fan of Wobbly, probably introduced at an Ovenguard show while I was in San Francisco.
	2:01pm Otis Fodder: None at all Kenzo. Not one blip. Thanks as always!!
	2:01pm Rich in Washington: Wobbly's coming to my town next month, as part of Negativland.
	2:05pm Otis Fodder: Kenzo, did you go to the Ovenguard show in 1998 in Oakland, I played with Big City Orchestra's dAS and Phiineas Narco (we put contact mics on a popcorn popper and served up snacks).
	2:06pm Otis Fodder: I wish they were coming to Montreal. Last show I saw was at Great American Music Hall in SF in 2005 - All in your Head or something or other, lots of fun!
	2:08pm Rich in Washington: They're doing a planned series of little dinky tours. They'll likely get up your way, but it may take a while. Hopefully US and Canada borders will still be relatively open by then and free travel will be possible throughout states/provinces.
	2:10pm Rich in Washington: working on arranging a live radio simulcast of their Portland show as I write this. Hopefully can pull it off.
	2:10pm Otis Fodder: Same old issue with border and acts, never know and crossing fingers. Total crapshoot it seems. Was sad when Messer Chups had a show planned a couple years back and yep, no go at border.
	2:11pm Mr Fab: Bummer, Otis! Spacebrother Greg & I saw Messer Chups a few years ago. Guess we got lucky.
	2:12pm Otis Fodder: One day hope to see them play live. On my bucket list of shows to see.
	2:12pm Rich in Washington: Fingers crossed for Einsturzende Neubauten later this year. I heard some rumblings about visa issues but I guess it's gonna happen. Scored tickets before it sold out.
	2:13pm Otis Fodder: Ooooh, that's gonna be a good show if you can go.
	2:13pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @Otis: That all sounds super familiar, but I think I was there in 1999. I think I had MP3's of the 1998 show.
	2:13pm Mr Fab: Wow, them Collapsing New Buildings are still around, eh? Still destroying stuff on stage?
	2:14pm Rich in Washington: I don't think they've ever played Portland, but I could be wrong.
	2:16pm Rich in Washington: They are now referred to as Einstürzende Alte Deutsche. One of them drums on his walker.
	2:16pm Rich in Washington: I kid. I should talk: I pulled a muscle by reaching for my phone in my left rear pocket with my right arm.
	2:17pm Martinibomb: Very cool!
	2:27pm Rich in Washington: Someone recently pointed out to me that Mike Watt sounds like Bender from Futurama on his podcast and now I cannot unhear it.
	2:28pm Otis Fodder: Gonna play later and think of Bender, haaaaa
	2:33pm Rich in Washington: This is really cool!
	2:35pm Otis Fodder: Really great 1969 collage/editing on this one.
	2:37pm Rich in Washington: Yeah! That's what I was shooting for on a recent show, pieces of music from the late 60s with elements of sound collage in them. This would've fit the bill perfectly, had I known about it.
	2:37pm Rich in Washington: neat to hear, the use of tape collage in this kind of music.
	2:38pm Otis Fodder: Reminds me so much, in a way, of the amazing 'Sing Me A Song Of Songmy'
	2:38pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, exactly.
	2:38pm Otis Fodder: ... but 2 years before Songmy this way. Love it.
	2:39pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, or Salvatore Martirano's L's GA
	2:40pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This makes me think of Walter Murch's work in The Conversation somehow.
	2:40pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah. Murch.
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: Another weird one is The John Benson Brooks Trio's Avant Slant, but the tape parts sound recorded in the studio from a script, rather than pieced together audio vérité style
	2:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Otis, what are you streaming with? I wonder if it's force-sending (empty) metadata, and that's why there's no song info in the live MP3 stream.
	2:43pm Otis Fodder: Sending with BUTT.
	2:43pm Otis Fodder: Yes, Avant Slant too. Good one!
	2:45pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): In BUTT settings, Stream tab, do you have anything set there?
	2:49pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Otis! Wonderful show today!
	2:50pm Mr Fab: As much as I love John Oswald, i never got around to this album. Y'know, Grateful Dead...but plunderphonic-ing anything sounds cool, of course.
	2:52pm Otis Fodder: @Kenzo - nothing in stream, just the 'update song info' from file and manually.
	2:53pm BC Sterrett: Howdy Folks
	2:55pm Otis Fodder: Thanks for listening all. Hey BC!
	2:56pm Mr Fab: Mucho grassy-ass, Otis! Swim in the stream til tomorrow, when the hump-day programming kicks off with Jan's groovy Dutch a-go-go sounds at 1pm, WFMU time.
	2:59pm BC Sterrett: A Christian Puppet show. Yay!
	3:00pm Otis Fodder: Ha, I kid. That's your show! Ha ha. Here's Joey!
	3:02pm BC Sterrett: I will do a show like that sometime, ...but it will be painful. If you're serious, can't wait to see what you play :)
