	♥ 9:41am HyperDose: Hey Winston! Thanks and right back at you and yours! 🎁🎄 Great, Handy. Got all the last minute errands done and think I finally found a good ortho. Feeling grateful. Glad to hear it, Chuk. Very responsible of you to still self-isolate as a precaution :)
	9:46am still b/p: "Grinch-green with extra amperage" in the decorating color sample book.
	♥ 9:48am Passaic River Blues: I was reading Imani Perry's remembrance of Greg Tate just yesterday: "It is hard to fully capture what it meant in 1992 to have a book that explained the thrill of the moment we were living in, the golden age of hip-hop. I'd read Greg Tate in The Village Voice, but to walk into Harvard Book Store and pull Flyboy in the Buttermilk off the shelf was something special. I would meet Greg Tate a few years later. He was perhaps the only person I ever knew who could easily move between journalism, writing as art, academic circles, and the music world with absolute panache and grace, and to be beloved in every realm. We were never close friends, but he was warm and generous in every encounter I had with him. He charmed people who couldn’t stand each other and would have them all laughing together. He treated Black musical culture with an unmatched reverence, and he had an encyclopedic knowledge of Black cultures all over the world. He'd tilt his head, tip his finger forward, and say, 'Well you know …' and take you on a journey. And we'd all listen. That's just who he was."
	♥ 9:48am Phillippe: Good morning
	♥ 9:49am Passaic River Blues: Also, super sad to have missed "Shakey Jake," one of my favorite tracks of all time!
	♥ 9:49am TDK60: David, over on the Give the Drummer Radio stream of WFMU, DJ Jeff Golick's Destination Out show last Sunday featured music in honor of Greg Tate.
	9:50am P-90: Fela could be “difficult’? Who could imagine such a thing?
	♥ 9:50am Passaic River Blues: @TDK60: thank you for the heads-up! Definitely bookmarking that.
	9:50am Ed: Hi David!!! (It's Ed)
	♥ 9:55am DjLorraine: Listener Jonny maybe the florescent green is to match the wfmu radioactive shirt.
	♥ 9:59am winston legthigh: hiya djlorraine!
	10:00am DJ Guin: SPOX!!
	♥ 10:00am Handy Haversack: SPOX
	10:00am DJ Guin: jinx Handy!
	♥ 10:01am Rev. Turnip Druid: ALSO SPOX.
	♥ 10:01am The Oscar: Mornin'! One of my favorite parts of the Sparks doc is that they take a few minutes to specifically underline how amazing this song is.
	♥ 10:01am Handy Haversack: We, the SPOXxed.
	♥ 10:03am winston legthigh: somebody owes someone an egg nog.
	♥ 10:03am DjLorraine: Winston legthigh :)
	10:05am ZACH ALL CAPS: Not cooler than a polar bears toenail
	♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: Time to feed the monsters!
	♥ 10:06am Threemoons: Morning all. Tardy to the party today...
	10:07am still b/p: I love it when 30 medical clowns climb out from under a sheet on one gurney.
	♥ 10:08am Webhamster Henry: Hi Non-troubled people! I was doing a project with Bob Holman a few years ago that I hope to get back to. bobholman.com
	10:08am DJ Guin: I hope I live long enough to view the travesty of Jerry Lewis' "The Day The Clown Cried" in all of its glory
	10:09am P-90: Who knew veggies were so musical?
	♥ 10:09am Anton: Love the show today! Very wonderful mix
	♥ 10:12am listener james from westwood: Whoa, random line from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas there.
	♥ 10:12am The Oscar: @DJ Guin I think we're just a few years away from the Library of Congress being allowed to screen it!
	10:12am P-90: Would it really be so surprising if “Day the Clown Cried” finally surfaced, and it was by no means brilliant, but not really awful either?
	10:13am P-90: Disappointing, yes.
	10:13am P-90: But surprising?
	♥ 10:15am listener james from westwood: P-90: TBH from what I've seen in those few available snippets, that actually sums up the quality.
	♥ 10:17am Anton: Godard was a big supporter of the Day the Clown Cried. Go figure!
	10:21am DJ Guin: Harry Shearer got a viewing and stated it was beyond belief. Jerry swore it would never see the light if day. If I was Gary...I would restore and release his debacle.
	♥ 10:21am HyperDose: This has a very nice groove to it
	10:22am Juli: V groovy!
	10:22am P-90: love this
	♥ 10:23am winston legthigh: now i have blow
	♥ 10:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: blow this level, there is none.
	10:24am P-90: This has just become one of my favorite songs ever
	10:25am still b/p: But what does "beyond belief" mean? Atrocious? Baffling? Bold? It has seemed to me -- over here in slouchy chin-scratch world -- that for the film to be better than awful it would have to come out of an extraordinary rewiring/reorienting of the Jerry Lewis mind that expressed itself in so many other films and in interviews and public comments.
	♥ 10:29am Webhamster Henry: Here's John Schnall's Midnight Matinee version of "The Day The Clown Cried" : arch.wfmu.org.s3.amazonaws.com...
	10:29am slowbear: hiiiii
	10:30am P-90: It is intriguing to consider “releasing his messy misfire feature film about the resident clown in a death camp” as an ultimate act of retribution by a son against the father with whom he had an abusive and painfully distant relationship…
	10:34am P-90: I can see Gary Lewis hosting the extras on the DVD… Narrating the “Making of…” mini-documentary, etc.
	♥ 10:36am The Oscar: JL released all elements of Clown to the Library of Congress in 2015, with the stipulation that it not be screened until 2024 (knowing full well he wouldn't be around by then). It is one of my career goals as a writer and critic to cover its world premiere.
	♥ 10:36am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I actually want to see it now also....
	♥ 10:39am Handy Haversack: Never heard of this clown movie until this very show.
	10:41am Andres: Good morning! Digging the sounds! I have not heard of this movie either but the PR team behind this slow build whisper campaign is doing a great job.
	♥ 10:41am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH among Jews who spent any time at all in Europe, it's kind of A Thing.
	10:41am slowbear: this song contains a lot of my favorite sounds
	♥ 10:43am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Including the weird factoid cocktail that A) The French love Jerry Lewis for some reason B) France has a large Jewish population compared to much of Europe but also the weird wrinkle C) France also has some of the most virulent anti-Semites, both home-grown right winger French and imported Muslim lefty anti-Semites as well as good old home grown terrorism expressed as attacks on Jews. So yeah, that movie is complicated.
	♥ 10:45am Handy Haversack: And here I was thinking it was about a clown!
	10:46am Andres: What would Krusty do?
	♥ 10:48am Handy Haversack: Sure I'm Krunchy the Klown!
	♥ 10:50am Woo: Algebra Suicide was from Chicago. Lydia Tomkiw sadly passed in 2007. Nice to hear them played.
	♥ 10:52am Mike Sin: Been enjoying this show -- great to hear David back on the WFMU airwaves. I'm only working half a day today and then I'm off until the first week of January -- should I start drinking right now?
	♥ 10:55am Handy Haversack: Mike Sin, absolutely. I had your today yesterday. Cider by noon was my motto!
	10:55am Andres: Check on the eel before you have that first drink, Mike.
	♥ 10:56am Rev. Turnip Druid: I'm on Sin's schedule. Which sounds spicier than it actually is.
	10:58am P-90: “Sin’s Schedule” I might open a bar with that name. (When “opening a bar” becomes a thing again.)
	♥ 10:58am Handy Haversack: We'll send spiced rum and carrot cake, Rev.
	10:58am Andres: Exuma!!
	♥ 10:59am chresti: This reminds me of a Stevie Wonder song (the Drifter?)
	♥ 10:59am Mike Sin: @Andres -- no eels in the bathtub this year (or about the past 50 as well)!
	♥ 10:59am βrian: Back from the passport office. Good morning.
	♥ 11:00am chresti: Hello David and ears!
	♥ 11:00am TDK60: I said it before, but this Exuma LP was heard on WFMU and other NYC freeform stations back then. WBAI, etc.
	11:03am MentalDrift: Great program. Making my day off so far.
	♥ 11:04am Passaic River Blues: @TDK60: very cool. "Obeah Man" and "Dambala" are just perfect songs. I'm pretty sure the first time I really heard Exuma was on Marty McSorley about ten years ago, and I was like, "holy shit--this brilliant and it's banger!" Ahmed's "Argos Farfish" is also perfect.
	♥ 11:05am Mike Sin: OK -- it happened -- during this Exuma track, I decided to load up the almond milk with a little peppermint schnapps. Starting slow and Xmas-y.
	♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: Cheers, Mike!
	11:07am Andres: If you've ever wondered what's in Santa's mug, it's almond milk and peppermint schnapps.
	♥ 11:08am Yes: hey yall
	♥ 11:08am βrian: I once had some schmancy peppermint schnapps that was really good. That surprised me. (Straight.)
	♥ 11:10am MD: GOOD MORNING ALL HAPPY HOLIDAZE!!!
	11:10am Glistener MW: Great set, and show! Thanks, David! 🎄
	11:11am DJ Guin: @Handy - are you surprised I know about it? doubtful :)
	♥ 11:16am HyperDose: Happy Holidaze to you and yours, MD!
	11:16am kitsky: one of the many things that i saw on the street on my first trip to nyc in 1971 was the impressive figure of moondog. not easily forgotten.
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: DJG, I'd be surprised if you didn't!
	♥ 11:19am Cal in Dothan: So glad to catch my first Inner Ear Detour! Enjoyed it!
	♥ 11:19am Krys O.: I've been really enjoying your show, David. Finishing up some end of year tasks at work before the holiday closing. This music has warded off the Xmas juju.
	♥ 11:21am TDK60: I have to exit the hut. Thanks, David!
	11:21am DJ Guin: for HH: consequence.net... “It’s either better than Citizen Kane, or the worst piece of shit anyone ever loaded on the projector” – Jerry Lewis to Entertainment Weekly
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Experience recommendation: lacing up boots with kittens "helping."
	♥ 11:23am luka: Handy, the kittens absolutely love laces. it’s a scourge.
	11:23am βrian: I once came upon my cat swallowing my shoelace. He had a good four inches down his gullet. Ick.
	♥ 11:23am Krys O.: Ha! I remember what that was like, Handy.
	♥ 11:24am luka: this song is beautiful. hi everyone.
	♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: Yeah, my Chucks are now stored securely at all times! Love this album.
	♥ 11:25am Krys O.: @Brian: I recall pulling a shoelace from one of the strays we took care of back in the 70s. He had swallowed almost 6 inches. Gag.
	♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: We're going to go get some books and bagels. Great show, David! Really enjoyed it. A great way to start the break. Be well and safe and at peace, friends. Catch youse soon!
	♥ 11:27am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Enjoy!
	♥ 11:29am Yes: russian into my arms? nice
	♥ 11:30am ifeelfatnsassy: Polish, right?
	♥ 11:31am Yes: i mean Polish..
	11:31am Inner Ear Detour: yes, polish
	♥ 11:32am Yes: love this
	♥ 11:32am Handy Haversack: Please stop playing such wonderful stuff. We're trying to leave!
	11:32am P-90: For a few moments at the beginning this sounded like a Polish version of Dylan’s Murder Most Foul
	♥ 11:33am MD: This is cool...diggin' it much-ly...Thanks!
	♥ 11:36am Glorious Estephonic: <3 <3 <3
	♥ 11:37am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Man alive... I've heard a bunch of Shannon Lay on WFMU, and each time I do, I am struck. I stop what I'm doing and look at the song list to see what I'm listening to... and I'm SO HAPPY when I do. Amazing. Buying her album Geist right now...
	♥ 11:37am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Thank you so much David.
	♥ 11:41am People Like Us: excellent show
	♥ 11:42am Kotzwinkled: Damn this track rules! Garden City, Kansas shoutout!
	♥ 11:43am McGroovey: The key changes remind us that she really means it!
	♥ 11:43am Kotzwinkled: Story of my life. Moved from Kansas to NYC, did the thing and got fed up and moved back to Kansas last year.
	11:43am P-90: This is hysterical
	♥ 11:44am listener james from westwood: That looks like an amazing comp that Spears is on.
	♥ 11:45am dave wuz here: time to lean, time to clean
	♥ 11:48am People Like Us: are you doing any more fill ins? (hi btw :) )
	♥ 11:48am listener james from westwood: "Is this Harry Dean Stanton?" I just asked myself. Got-dang, it is!
	11:49am Inner Ear Detour: @ PLU - no other fill ins planned at the moment but I'd love to...
	11:50am Gary: Thanks. Great show.
	11:51am northguineahills: Mr Fox

	♥ 11:58am People Like Us: thanks David :)

	♥ 9:24am ChukAmok: Hi Handy! Rev. Turnip Druid: boy do I have a carrot cake for you.
	♥ 9:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: AMOK FOR POPE!
	♥ 9:24am Handy Haversack: Yo, ChukAmok! How goes, pal?
	♥ 9:24am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Great tunes, Mr Dave!
	♥ 9:25am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): What's up with this fluorescent green, tho?
	9:32am Jesse G: Sounds like the 50 ways to leave your lover beat
	9:38am Juli: This is groovy Today is a groovy day, just like every other day Thankfully :}
	♥ 9:41am HyperDose: Hey Winston! Thanks and right back at you and yours! 🎁🎄 Great, Handy. Got all the last minute errands done and think I finally found a good ortho. Feeling grateful. Glad to hear it, Chuk. Very responsible of you to still self-isolate as a precaution :)
	9:46am still b/p: "Grinch-green with extra amperage" in the decorating color sample book.
	♥ 9:48am Passaic River Blues: I was reading Imani Perry's remembrance of Greg Tate just yesterday: "It is hard to fully capture what it meant in 1992 to have a book that explained the thrill of the moment we were living in, the golden age of hip-hop. I'd read Greg Tate in The Village Voice, but to walk into Harvard Book Store and pull Flyboy in the Buttermilk off the shelf was something special. I would meet Greg Tate a few years later. He was perhaps the only person I ever knew who could easily move between journalism, writing as art, academic circles, and the music world with absolute panache and grace, and to be beloved in every realm. We were never close friends, but he was warm and generous in every encounter I had with him. He charmed people who couldn’t stand each other and would have them all laughing together. He treated Black musical culture with an unmatched reverence, and he had an encyclopedic knowledge of Black cultures all over the world. He'd tilt his head, tip his finger forward, and say, 'Well you know …' and take you on a journey. And we'd all listen. That's just who he was."
	♥ 9:48am Phillippe: Good morning
	♥ 9:49am Passaic River Blues: Also, super sad to have missed "Shakey Jake," one of my favorite tracks of all time!
	♥ 9:49am TDK60: David, over on the Give the Drummer Radio stream of WFMU, DJ Jeff Golick's Destination Out show last Sunday featured music in honor of Greg Tate.
	9:50am P-90: Fela could be “difficult’? Who could imagine such a thing?
	♥ 9:50am Passaic River Blues: @TDK60: thank you for the heads-up! Definitely bookmarking that.
	9:50am Ed: Hi David!!! (It's Ed)
	♥ 9:55am DjLorraine: Listener Jonny maybe the florescent green is to match the wfmu radioactive shirt.
	♥ 9:59am winston legthigh: hiya djlorraine!
	10:00am DJ Guin: SPOX!!
	♥ 10:00am Handy Haversack: SPOX
	10:00am DJ Guin: jinx Handy!
	♥ 10:01am Rev. Turnip Druid: ALSO SPOX.
	♥ 10:01am The Oscar: Mornin'! One of my favorite parts of the Sparks doc is that they take a few minutes to specifically underline how amazing this song is.
	♥ 10:01am Handy Haversack: We, the SPOXxed.
	♥ 10:03am winston legthigh: somebody owes someone an egg nog.
	♥ 10:03am DjLorraine: Winston legthigh :)
	10:05am ZACH ALL CAPS: Not cooler than a polar bears toenail
	♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: Time to feed the monsters!
	♥ 10:06am Threemoons: Morning all. Tardy to the party today...
	10:07am still b/p: I love it when 30 medical clowns climb out from under a sheet on one gurney.
	♥ 10:08am Webhamster Henry: Hi Non-troubled people! I was doing a project with Bob Holman a few years ago that I hope to get back to. bobholman.com
	10:08am DJ Guin: I hope I live long enough to view the travesty of Jerry Lewis' "The Day The Clown Cried" in all of its glory
	10:09am P-90: Who knew veggies were so musical?
	♥ 10:09am Anton: Love the show today! Very wonderful mix
	♥ 10:12am listener james from westwood: Whoa, random line from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas there.
	♥ 10:12am The Oscar: @DJ Guin I think we're just a few years away from the Library of Congress being allowed to screen it!
	10:12am P-90: Would it really be so surprising if “Day the Clown Cried” finally surfaced, and it was by no means brilliant, but not really awful either?
	10:13am P-90: Disappointing, yes.
	10:13am P-90: But surprising?
	♥ 10:15am listener james from westwood: P-90: TBH from what I've seen in those few available snippets, that actually sums up the quality.
	♥ 10:17am Anton: Godard was a big supporter of the Day the Clown Cried. Go figure!
	10:21am DJ Guin: Harry Shearer got a viewing and stated it was beyond belief. Jerry swore it would never see the light if day. If I was Gary...I would restore and release his debacle.
	♥ 10:21am HyperDose: This has a very nice groove to it
	10:22am Juli: V groovy!
	10:22am P-90: love this
	♥ 10:23am winston legthigh: now i have blow
	♥ 10:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: blow this level, there is none.
	10:24am P-90: This has just become one of my favorite songs ever
	10:25am still b/p: But what does "beyond belief" mean? Atrocious? Baffling? Bold? It has seemed to me -- over here in slouchy chin-scratch world -- that for the film to be better than awful it would have to come out of an extraordinary rewiring/reorienting of the Jerry Lewis mind that expressed itself in so many other films and in interviews and public comments.
	♥ 10:29am Webhamster Henry: Here's John Schnall's Midnight Matinee version of "The Day The Clown Cried" : arch.wfmu.org.s3.amazonaws.com...
	10:29am slowbear: hiiiii
	10:30am P-90: It is intriguing to consider “releasing his messy misfire feature film about the resident clown in a death camp” as an ultimate act of retribution by a son against the father with whom he had an abusive and painfully distant relationship…
	10:34am P-90: I can see Gary Lewis hosting the extras on the DVD… Narrating the “Making of…” mini-documentary, etc.
	♥ 10:36am The Oscar: JL released all elements of Clown to the Library of Congress in 2015, with the stipulation that it not be screened until 2024 (knowing full well he wouldn't be around by then). It is one of my career goals as a writer and critic to cover its world premiere.
	♥ 10:36am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I actually want to see it now also....
	♥ 10:39am Handy Haversack: Never heard of this clown movie until this very show.
	10:41am Andres: Good morning! Digging the sounds! I have not heard of this movie either but the PR team behind this slow build whisper campaign is doing a great job.
	♥ 10:41am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH among Jews who spent any time at all in Europe, it's kind of A Thing.
	10:41am slowbear: this song contains a lot of my favorite sounds
	♥ 10:43am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Including the weird factoid cocktail that A) The French love Jerry Lewis for some reason B) France has a large Jewish population compared to much of Europe but also the weird wrinkle C) France also has some of the most virulent anti-Semites, both home-grown right winger French and imported Muslim lefty anti-Semites as well as good old home grown terrorism expressed as attacks on Jews. So yeah, that movie is complicated.
	♥ 10:45am Handy Haversack: And here I was thinking it was about a clown!
	10:46am Andres: What would Krusty do?
	♥ 10:48am Handy Haversack: Sure I'm Krunchy the Klown!
	♥ 10:50am Woo: Algebra Suicide was from Chicago. Lydia Tomkiw sadly passed in 2007. Nice to hear them played.
	♥ 10:52am Mike Sin: Been enjoying this show -- great to hear David back on the WFMU airwaves. I'm only working half a day today and then I'm off until the first week of January -- should I start drinking right now?
	♥ 10:55am Handy Haversack: Mike Sin, absolutely. I had your today yesterday. Cider by noon was my motto!
	10:55am Andres: Check on the eel before you have that first drink, Mike.
	♥ 10:56am Rev. Turnip Druid: I'm on Sin's schedule. Which sounds spicier than it actually is.
	10:58am P-90: “Sin’s Schedule” I might open a bar with that name. (When “opening a bar” becomes a thing again.)
	♥ 10:58am Handy Haversack: We'll send spiced rum and carrot cake, Rev.
	10:58am Andres: Exuma!!
	♥ 10:59am chresti: This reminds me of a Stevie Wonder song (the Drifter?)
	♥ 10:59am Mike Sin: @Andres -- no eels in the bathtub this year (or about the past 50 as well)!
	♥ 10:59am βrian: Back from the passport office. Good morning.
	♥ 11:00am chresti: Hello David and ears!
	♥ 11:00am TDK60: I said it before, but this Exuma LP was heard on WFMU and other NYC freeform stations back then. WBAI, etc.
	11:03am MentalDrift: Great program. Making my day off so far.
	♥ 11:04am Passaic River Blues: @TDK60: very cool. "Obeah Man" and "Dambala" are just perfect songs. I'm pretty sure the first time I really heard Exuma was on Marty McSorley about ten years ago, and I was like, "holy shit--this brilliant and it's banger!" Ahmed's "Argos Farfish" is also perfect.
	♥ 11:05am Mike Sin: OK -- it happened -- during this Exuma track, I decided to load up the almond milk with a little peppermint schnapps. Starting slow and Xmas-y.
	♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: Cheers, Mike!
	11:07am Andres: If you've ever wondered what's in Santa's mug, it's almond milk and peppermint schnapps.
	♥ 11:08am Yes: hey yall
	♥ 11:08am βrian: I once had some schmancy peppermint schnapps that was really good. That surprised me. (Straight.)
	♥ 11:10am MD: GOOD MORNING ALL HAPPY HOLIDAZE!!!
	11:10am Glistener MW: Great set, and show! Thanks, David! 🎄
	11:11am DJ Guin: @Handy - are you surprised I know about it? doubtful :)
	♥ 11:16am HyperDose: Happy Holidaze to you and yours, MD!
	11:16am kitsky: one of the many things that i saw on the street on my first trip to nyc in 1971 was the impressive figure of moondog. not easily forgotten.
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: DJG, I'd be surprised if you didn't!
	♥ 11:19am Cal in Dothan: So glad to catch my first Inner Ear Detour! Enjoyed it!
	♥ 11:19am Krys O.: I've been really enjoying your show, David. Finishing up some end of year tasks at work before the holiday closing. This music has warded off the Xmas juju.
	♥ 11:21am TDK60: I have to exit the hut. Thanks, David!
	11:21am DJ Guin: for HH: consequence.net... “It’s either better than Citizen Kane, or the worst piece of shit anyone ever loaded on the projector” – Jerry Lewis to Entertainment Weekly
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Experience recommendation: lacing up boots with kittens "helping."
	♥ 11:23am luka: Handy, the kittens absolutely love laces. it’s a scourge.
	11:23am βrian: I once came upon my cat swallowing my shoelace. He had a good four inches down his gullet. Ick.
	♥ 11:23am Krys O.: Ha! I remember what that was like, Handy.
	♥ 11:24am luka: this song is beautiful. hi everyone.
	♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: Yeah, my Chucks are now stored securely at all times! Love this album.
	♥ 11:25am Krys O.: @Brian: I recall pulling a shoelace from one of the strays we took care of back in the 70s. He had swallowed almost 6 inches. Gag.
	♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: We're going to go get some books and bagels. Great show, David! Really enjoyed it. A great way to start the break. Be well and safe and at peace, friends. Catch youse soon!
	♥ 11:27am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Enjoy!
	♥ 11:29am Yes: russian into my arms? nice
	♥ 11:30am ifeelfatnsassy: Polish, right?
	♥ 11:31am Yes: i mean Polish..
	11:31am Inner Ear Detour: yes, polish
	♥ 11:32am Yes: love this
	♥ 11:32am Handy Haversack: Please stop playing such wonderful stuff. We're trying to leave!
	11:32am P-90: For a few moments at the beginning this sounded like a Polish version of Dylan’s Murder Most Foul
	♥ 11:33am MD: This is cool...diggin' it much-ly...Thanks!
	♥ 11:36am Glorious Estephonic: <3 <3 <3
	♥ 11:37am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Man alive... I've heard a bunch of Shannon Lay on WFMU, and each time I do, I am struck. I stop what I'm doing and look at the song list to see what I'm listening to... and I'm SO HAPPY when I do. Amazing. Buying her album Geist right now...

	11:43am P-90: This is hysterical
	♥ 11:44am listener james from westwood: That looks like an amazing comp that Spears is on.
	♥ 11:45am dave wuz here: time to lean, time to clean
	♥ 11:48am People Like Us: are you doing any more fill ins? (hi btw :) )
	♥ 11:48am listener james from westwood: "Is this Harry Dean Stanton?" I just asked myself. Got-dang, it is!
	11:49am Inner Ear Detour: @ PLU - no other fill ins planned at the moment but I'd love to...
	11:50am Gary: Thanks. Great show.
