	7:08pm gloomsday: been good, a bit crazy train on my end. happy to be able to sit down and relax to neighbors noise for the first time in a long time.
	7:14pm Jesse Kaminsky: I'd be happy giving most days to the birds, I feel like they could probably use them pretty well. @gloomsday, glad to have you of course! hope the crazy train has a nice dining car at least?
	7:14pm StringOFperils: Nice to get a bit of pseudo-outside time.
	7:16pm ParUbi ¤¤¤¤: Hello Jesse and all!
	7:18pm gloomsday: @jesse: haha! yeah, i'd say so :) just wishing life would slow down. thought it might in light of recent events, but... nope! ah well.
	7:19pm Jesse Kaminsky: yeah days seem to fly by even when I don't leave the house, I feel like I'm going to have more unfinished projects at the end of this than when I started. Hello hi ParUbi!
	7:21pm chresti: Sounds like Mardi Gras.
	7:21pm northguineahills: Well, I just discovered, the most organized person I knew, has her finances less organized then I. Shouldn't vent, but I'm the least technically organized person I know (minus my record and book collections).
	7:21pm gloomsday: yup, feel you there. i've started so many projects within the last month. but on the plus side, i finished a novel and am nearly done with revisions! so at least i'm making headway on some of the bigger ones.
	7:22pm Jesse Kaminsky: Here's the approx timing of this sound collage: 0:00 - 4:51 - green tree frogs in the bird sanctuary (Dauphin Island, Alabama) 3:20 - 7:18 - grass cicadas outside Cape Hatteras Lighthouse (Buxton, North Carolina) 6:57 - 12:13 - Harwood Museum of Art (Taos, New Mexico) 10:53 - 16:25 - Occupy Taos march with marching brass band (Taos, New Mexico) 15:47 - 20:48 - tapping the travertine at the Getty (Los Angeles, California) 20:48 - 26:02 - choir at Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels (Los Angeles, California) 25:36 - 30:20 - katydids, crickets, and cicadas after sunset (Hopkinsville, Kentucky) 28:25 - 31:47 - deck swing (Huntsville, Alabama) 31:29 - 31:53 - botanical gardens with my family (Huntsville, Alabama) 33:45 - 35:21 - singer in the street outside my house (East Point, Georgia)
	7:24pm northguineahills: You see Mardi Gras, Gasprilla, and Carnival festivals music, but what was the last time you heard a Shrove Tuesday celebration music celebre?
	7:24pm Jesse Kaminsky: hey northguineahills! @gloomsday, when you say finished you mean writing not reading? That's amazing, congrats!
	7:28pm gloomsday: @jesse: yeah, writing! thank you :) it's the first one i've actually completed, so i'm pretty stoked. you'll be shocked to hear that a couple of the characters are fond of field recording (both listening to and actually recording, themselves)
	7:32pm Jesse Kaminsky: Whoa, amazing that's wild! :) Does the book have a release date?
	7:35pm northguineahills: hi-fives all-around for gloomsday!
	7:38pm StringOFperils: Yeah!
	7:38pm gloomsday: not yet! i'm gonna be sending chapters to literary agents in the next few months with hopes that they'll want to offer representation and then help me snag a traditional publisher, so it could take a while unfortunately! but so much of the actual heavy lifting is done on my end, which feels amazing. no matter what happens with the book, i'm proud of what i have accomplished! (thank you NGH!)
	7:48pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): yeah, lemme get in on that high five, too! Excellent news, gloomsday!
	7:51pm Jesse Kaminsky: I guess it's always the case that by the time something is released into the world the artist has long ago moved on to other projects. Nonetheless, it's worth celebrating, congrats!
	7:59pm northguineahills: Taking a 12km walk... good sndrk
	8:01pm chresti: Congratulations gloomsday! And good Luck!
	8:16pm gloomsday: thanks for the support, everyone! it means a lot :)
	8:29pm gloomsday: really vibing with this track~
	9:01pm northguineahills: Oh shit, that was Lea!! Only 4km from home.
	9:02pm coelacanth∅: hey Jesse and all
	9:03pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i am out there!
	9:06pm northguineahills: I thought this was Porter Ricks or Monolake....
	9:10pm Jesse Kaminsky: it's in the family for sure!
	9:18pm northguineahills: OK, back. and exhausted. I see that Scion was on Tresor Recs, that explains the Berlin/Detroit sound...
	9:21pm Jesse Kaminsky: Nice! I tried biking around a little today and was exhausted after ten minutes, it's amazing how quickly you lose the ability to move.
	9:22pm WR: Hello Jesse and all. Been listening, been cooking (big potato carrot guanabara tomato stew with Indian flavorings) and now as it simmers will read what ya'll been commenting about.
	9:24pm Brad O: Hey Jesse! It's Brad Otwell from Northwest Arkansas. Long time, man! Saw you were on the radio tonight, so I thought I would check it out. Good stuff! Really liked that Scion track you played earlier, near the top of the hour, I think.
	9:26pm Jesse Kaminsky: Hey WR! Glad to accompany the cooking tonight, sounds delicious you're making me hungry!
	9:26pm northguineahills: When the lock-down began, I started at 200m and worked my up (to now 14 km). I used to walk 12km daily in NYC, but rarely walked once I moved to Orlando) (at least in my hood, you aren't perceived as a vagabond if you're walking.)
	9:27pm chresti: Franco is cooking posole with purple hominy.
	9:27pm Jesse Kaminsky: Hey Brad! Thanks for checking in, glad to hear from you/be ! How's your isolation going?
	9:27pm northguineahills: Looks like WR has the same culinary stylings as myself....
	9:29pm northguineahills: All I have left is a shiton of herbs and spices, and some udon and bok choi. I need my job to start soon, or at least get my stimulus package....
	9:30pm WR: Yes, NGH, I saw you recently mention making curry udon or something similar. I enjoy cooking.
	9:34pm northguineahills: @WR: Yes! I can't believe I hadn't thought of it earlier, it's amazing. (I only thought of it b/c of the ingredients in front of me).
	9:35pm WR: LOL. The stew main motivation was that when I made my first grocery run with the store stock wiped out one of the few "fresh" vegetables available was potatoes. I bought a lot and turns out they weren't so fresh so need to cook them all soon. And yes, using up the variety of spices I've had a long time.
	9:36pm northguineahills: I excel at Mexican and East Asian cuisines, consider myself decent at Caribbean, West African, Indian, and That. and even do Polish and Irish on occasion. (and do fusions of all of the above).
	9:37pm northguineahills: That=Thai Wish I could get ingredients to learn to do Burmese (probably one of my favorite cuisines).
	9:38pm Brad O: Isolation is better with the music. Thanks!
	9:38pm northguineahills: I made sweet potato/ potato huitlacoche soup last week, which eventually i reduced and made the soup in the a salsa for homemade nachos!
	9:45pm WR: NGH, great range of cooking. I dabble a bit in different cuisines but not near that range.
	9:47pm Franco Twinkie: Break time! Posole is on simmer, and the masa for toriillas is resting. If I had a beer I would crack it.
	9:49pm northguineahills: ack, I have $10 to my name, and beer to be gained, and 72 mins to leave before I am shamed!
	9:49pm northguineahills: I saw I-F around 2004, great show....
	9:50pm WR: Jesse, for my archive listening (missed first hour) your comment summary of sound collage was for the Mitchell Keaney journal?
	9:52pm Jesse Kaminsky: Hey Franco! sounds delicious! @WR that was for the Ben Link Collins Elsewhere piece, starting about 5 min into the show
	9:52pm Jesse Kaminsky: @NGH, legendary!
	9:52pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, Are you someplace where you need to spent that tenner (excluding the store),and if so, why?
	9:52pm WR: Franco, similar here. Rationing the beers so drinking large glass of water now and my one beer for tonight when the stew is ready.
	9:54pm Franco Twinkie: WR, There is no beer shortage here, but I only crave beer if it's warm outside, and today was the first warm day in awhile.
	9:57pm northguineahills: @franco: There's a convenience store five blocks away. And I'm still a little bit steamed from my wife not having the the 2018 IRS return which we did jointly so she could get her 10-year visa. I need to pay my car insurance w/in the next week, and I need said car for my job. So, beer is where I'm going (I rarely drink liquour).
	9:58pm northguineahills: (scheisse, she lurks here sometimes, this will be fun).
	9:58pm WR: My beer rationing is part economic but mostly looking to halt and possibly reverse my expanding waistline.
	9:59pm northguineahills: arigato, Jesse! @WR: My 12-14km walks per day have made me rather trim....
	10:00pm gloomsday: thank you jesse! so glad to hear you spin these good good tunes again! good to see everyone :) have a nice night.
	10:00pm StringOFperils: thx
	10:00pm WR: Take care NGH and all who won't be traipsing to the long way home.
	10:00pm chresti: Thanks Jesse!
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Jesse!
	10:01pm Jesse Kaminsky: Thanks all, great to see everyone, have a great week!
