	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm Yvang: Well there’s a big cloud of sand from the desert of Sahara crossing over our French sky which makes it yellow. We will not be able to see the eclipse but at least we have that...
	10:10pm asheville jon: I've walked out of a couple restaurants because their menus were qr code only. F that crap.
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm Yvang: Down with the QR codes!

	🥁 ♥ 10:15pm Alex from Media: Hey AJ!
	♥ 10:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:09 Sorry you will miss the eclipse! Forecast is still iffy here in NJ. I was in Paris last summer and took the most amazing pic of a blood red sunset over the Seine. Still missing our flat there... a perfect week!
	10:16pm Jimbooooooo: QR codes are late to the game... masturbation's been around for at least fifteen years
	♥ 10:17pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Jimbooooooo @10:16 Ahhh, one of those "early adopters", I see...
	10:18pm Jimbooooooo: Oh, wait...there are cave paintings of that
	🥁 ♥ 10:25pm Alex from Media: Hey Jimbooooooo! Did I get your os right?
	♥ 10:27pm Mike Lupica: QUESTION FOR THE FLOOR: Has any band ever soiled their past glory more thoroughly than Aerosmith?
	10:31pm yikes & yay !: Oh My - maligned ‘draw the line’ trax: my mid-teens / adolescence is flooding back all of a sudden! I always felt there were abt 3 or 4 great songs off that one ! (Granted most of the rest is semi-coke’d-out-flop-sweat). had fun with that album cover - find the NINA’s!
	🥁 ♥ 10:31pm egal: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:27 The Eagles now lip-synch during "live" performances. Don Henley at least.
	🥁 ♥ 10:31pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:27 In my unpopular opinion Allison Krauss doing duets with Robert Palmer is up there on the list.
	🥁 ♥ 10:32pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @10:31 * correction Plant. Pats my bedtime.
	10:34pm yikes & yay !: Quite the let-down after the melodious funk of ‘Toys’🧸; followed by solid & tight ‘Rocks’. blah yadda blah
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm Alex from Media: I hear that domesticated turkeys will look up at the sky when it rains and drown from the drops getting down their throat. Not unlike your EQ evacuees.
	🥁 ♥ 10:43pm Chris Crisco: Never been in an earthquake but must be just a matter of time here in New Zealand.
	10:44pm yikes & yay !: ‘Kings&Queens’ from said album made me wanna throw the F’ing platter out into the yard. A few very high highs immediately followed by low lows!
	♥ 10:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chris Crisco @10:43 Chris, we'll be reaching out across the time vortex to you when it hits!
	🥁 ♥ 10:45pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mike and all
	♥ 10:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:45 How-DEE coelacanth∅!
	🥁 ♥ 10:47pm Chris Crisco: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:45 Thanks for that Mike! The time vortex just increased by an hour last night!
	♥ 10:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ egal @10:31 That dude is the worst. And I watched (and loved) the entire Eagles documentary.
	🥁 ♥ 10:54pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Shining Gilded Boulevard" by "Purling Hiss" Gonna have to make a point to see these guys.
	🥁 ♥ 10:55pm egal: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:47 www.youtube.com...
	10:56pm arlo: so thankful that purling hiss song is as long as it is. or at least not less long
	♥ 10:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ arlo @10:56 Heck yeah, Arlo!
	10:59pm arlo: lurkin on & off- thanks for the diddies, daddy!
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Daddy's Diddies" by "Charles Stepney" I could totally hear Stevie Wonder singing on this.
	♥ 11:00pm Mike Lupica: ↳ arlo @10:59 Lurk all ya like!
	♥ 11:00pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:59 Haha, yes! Good call!
	🥁 ♥ 11:08pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Crazy" by "Homeboy Sandman" Hearing rap over jazz (Us3) was the tuning point for me to understand and appreciate rap. Still like it best this way. Very beatnik.
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm Alex from Media: Rumsfeld! And here I was putting away my angry emoji...
	♥ 11:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:13 Haha! One of my favorite soundbytes ever!
	♥ 11:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "The Ark" by "Gerry Rafferty" LIGHTERS OUT
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Ark" by "Gerry Rafferty" underappreciated artist
	♥ 11:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:15 NOT ON THIS SHOW! Love me some Gerry.
	🥁 ♥ 11:17pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "The Ark" by "Gerry Rafferty" I am glad I have this LP.
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm Yvang: Let’s Clay Pigeon’s this!
	🥁 ♥ 11:19pm Alex from Media: Saccharine?
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm coelacanth∅: 'can't argue with a song that gives you explosive diarrhea
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm coelacanth∅: erythmatol (sp?)
	🥁 ♥ 11:23pm Alex from Media: But you meant it in a good way!
	🥁 ♥ 11:24pm coelacanth∅: too late. it's out,Mike. forever etched in our minds and the archives
	11:24pm yikes & yay !: ¡Just scored 2 Mint minus Gerry ‘Riff’ Raff followup albums = Night Owl🦉1979 (with similar cover art) & Snakes🐍& Ladders🪜 1980 (with fun cover art)!
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm coelacanth∅: ..."olestra"?
	♥ 11:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:26 That's it!
	♥ 11:32pm Mike Lupica: Get comfy and get your head torn up by this Exorzist III track, gang. It goes on... for a while.
	🥁 ♥ 11:38pm coelacanth∅: the sweetener "erithritol" (i had it wrong @1122) also may induce mild diarrhea &/or discomfort; but it's very safe in reasonable doses and usually the benefits outweigh any potential side effects. (and it's "natural"... sort of)
	♥ 11:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Fourth Coming" by "The Exorzist III" Would just like to point out how great the dancing gif at the top of this page works with this Exorzist III song.
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm coelacanth∅: is that a live "cam" (camera) in your kitchen?
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm Ålëx fröm Mëdiä: 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm coelacanth∅: i hope so
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Ike: Hi. My cat is going bananas. Zoom zoom.
	♥ 11:45pm Mike Lupica: \m/ \m/
	♥ 11:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Fourth Coming" by "The Exorzist III" Still ten minutes to go, in case you need to go empty the trap or meet Ricky at the flagpole.
	♥ 11:52pm Chop Scott: Cheers Mike!
	♥ 11:53pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:52 Yo Scott! Hope you're getting your head tore'd up as good as I am right now!
	🥁 ♥ 11:54pm coelacanth∅: i took the trash out, cleaned out my refrigerator and changed the oil in my car. now i'll relax and enjoy the rest of the song.
	♥ 11:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:54 You still have time to order a pizza and read a few John Updike novels.
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm Ålëx fröm Mëdiä: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:54 The umlauts are on me. cöëläcänth
	♥ 11:57pm Mike Lupica: NOW WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD TIME FOR AN EARTHQUAKE AFTERSHOCK. JUST SAYIN'.
	🥁 ♥ 11:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:55 oh yeah, i ordered a pizza when the song started... received and eaten. ...but i'm a slow reader. i'll probably just barely finish this Dostoevsky (sp?) before the song ends
	♥ 11:58pm Mike Lupica: I just watched Dune.
	🥁 ♥ 12:00am Yvang: Then you can play Sister Ray...nobody will notice...
	🥁 ♥ 12:00am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Ålëx fröm Mëdiä @11:55 Thanks Ålëx i'm good
	♥ 12:00am Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @12:00 Hahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 12:01am cœlacänth∅: but i feel gypped i didn't feel any quaking or afterquaking
	🥁 ♥ 12:03am Ålëx fröm Mëdiä: ↳ Song: "On a Plain" by "Nirvana" I figured there would be a Neil Sedaka segue for a refractory period after that.
	🥁 ♥ 12:04am cœlacänth∅: i remember a few people specifically liking that nirvana song, back in the day. i always liked it, but there're so many Great nirvana songs.
	🥁 ♥ 12:07am cœlacänth∅: a friend did mention a few days ago that this anniversary was upon us. to be honest i thought it odd. so many anniversaries, deaths and birthdays, come and go without mention...
	🥁 ♥ 12:07am egal: I was listening to some college/indie-style station in Massachusetts, and the DJs were mocking Cobain.
	🥁 ♥ 12:11am cœlacänth∅: i found out about the earthquake 1 hour & 40 minutes afterward, when there was a government alert on my phone. i immediately picked up the phone to call my mother (in nj) and she was just calling me. i guess we're NOT well connected.
	🥁 ♥ 12:12am Ike: I remember that day in 1994 because FMU, WPRB, and (I think) also a commercial rock station were all playing Nirvana at the same time. That’s when I knew something was wrong.
	♥ 12:12am Chop Scott: The Starlite Lounge is sounding great Mike!
	♥ 12:13am Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @12:12 Thanks in no small part to your tech wizardry, my friend!
	♥ 12:17am Chop Scott: A very happy assist to hear you! Big Cheers to you Mike!
	🥁 ♥ 12:19am cœlacänth∅: i don't agree about dopesmoker. i don't like it because the vocals are so bad; but i listen to theoretically as or more monotonous hour-long songs at home, not so infrequently
	♥ 12:22am Mike Lupica: ↳ cœlacänth∅ @12:19 Fair.
	🥁 ♥ 12:23am Ålëx fröm Mëdiä: ↳ Song: "Ma Chérie" by "Bounaly" How are they getting the instruments so clear and the vocals so bad on this?
	🥁 ♥ 12:23am cœlacänth∅: ...maybe it's a different kind of monotony. the vocals of dopesmoker are truly monotonous, and tedious. but then that exorzist track, or some long ones by laddio bolocko or boredoms are technically more monotonous, but somehow much more exciting
	♥ 12:23am Mike Lupica: ↳ Ålëx fröm Mëdiä @12:23 Live recording, probably made on a cellphone.
	🥁 ♥ 12:24am trashflow: Playling V-3 after midnight ==> I am one listener that Abbie From Mars cannot steal!
	♥ 12:24am Mike Lupica: ↳ cœlacänth∅ @12:23 Probably unpopular opinion: Dopesmoker is better to hear ABOUT than to actually hear.
	♥ 12:24am Mike Lupica: ↳ trashflow @12:24 Hahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 12:25am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:24 hahaha
	🥁 ♥ 12:26am Andrew Waterloo: I think a big difference between stuff like Dope Smoker and something like a long Raga is that the Raga has more permutations in the instruments themselves.
	🥁 ♥ 12:27am trashflow: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:24 At the recent Northside Record Fair in Cincinnati, the Third Man box set reissue of Dopesmoker was the title that appeared for sale on the most tables. I don't think a single copy sold.
	♥ 12:27am tom tom the pipers son: hello mike and listeners....abbie be damned.....;)
	♥ 12:28am Mike Lupica: ↳ trashflow @12:27 That reminds me of the WFMU Record Fair where Joe Belock and I were both trying to offload copies of the Guided By Voices BOX and neither of us sold them.
	♥ 12:28am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:27 Hey Tom!
	♥ 12:28am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:27 But no damning Abbie. Her show rules.
	🥁 ♥ 12:29am cœlacänth∅: i think the first time i heard dopesmoker i really liked it, but after maybe 15-20 minutes i just wished he'd shut up so i could enjoy the nuances of the guitar
	🥁 ♥ 12:29am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @12:26 Yes!
	♥ 12:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:28 oh def a joke... tots camp see wink...
	♥ 12:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:29 just camr from her playlist
	♥ 12:32am egould: ↳ Song: "As The Veneer of Democracy Starts to Fade" by "Ma... Put your headphones on for this one.
	🥁 ♥ 12:33am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:28 yeah, Abbie's Great! i'll go there after here. usually i'm at work right now and i rarely hear Abbie, nor the last 2/3 of hotwire mandate ...i was craving sweets and made my own "irish creme liqueur". not bad.
	♥ 12:33am Mike Lupica: ↳ egould @12:32 Funny, I just happened to have done that!
	♥ 12:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ cœlacänth∅ @12:33 same here
	♥ 12:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Snake Oil" by "Glass Beams" gif reminds me of giant bouncing ball in the prisoner... did it have a name
	🥁 ♥ 12:41am Andrew Waterloo: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:40 Rover
	🥁 ♥ 12:41am Andrew Waterloo: I have the action figure
	🥁 ♥ 12:42am Andrew Waterloo: www.bigbadtoystore.com...
	♥ 12:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @12:41 ah right figures they would use a domestic name in a twisted way
	♥ 12:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @12:42 a ha...
	12:46am yikes & yay !: Circa 1985?; Despite wide open (& semi tinnitus) ears👂, I found Stewart’s ‘Veneer’ album quite impenetrably static (loved his 1st solo, & of course The Pop Group!). Maybe it’s time to revisit (ha! 40 years later). Kept it all this time though….
	♥ 12:47am Mike Lupica: ↳ yikes & yay ! @12:46 I can relate: I didn't really "get" the Tackhead records I bought in the 80s, but I grew to appreciate them over the years.
	♥ 12:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ yikes & yay ! @12:46 saw reunited pop group in small venue in london...2009 or so
	🥁 ♥ 12:49am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Sexy" by "Alan Vega" Dancing girl gif working here.
	♥ 12:49am tom tom the pipers son: some very good rockpalast perf on yt...wire for one
	♥ 12:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:49 v true
	12:52am yikes & yay !: bach in the day, I never expected I/we would still be appreciating the mash of nations that was Suicide, Martin Rev & Alan Vega! IMO, In many ways holds up as well as Velvets!
	🥁 ♥ 12:52am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:47 tack>>head played on wfmu in the late 80s "what's my mission now" opened me up to rap; as it was suddenly evident that there were some thinking people beneath the surface of that scene
	🥁 ♥ 12:53am Andrew Waterloo: I saw the Pop Group in New Castle in 2018 I think
	🥁 ♥ 12:53am Andrew Waterloo: Just blown away by their bass player
	🥁 ♥ 12:53am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @12:49 but so's the Alan Vega gif!
	♥ 12:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @12:53 oh....
	12:54am yikes & yay !: Before I fegets aboud it … who exactly is the dancing minx at top? (Gotta be a red head!?)
	♥ 12:55am Mike Lupica: ↳ yikes & yay ! @12:54 Watch "Asphalt Jungle" on TCM.
	🥁 ♥ 12:55am Alex from Media: ↳ cœlacänth∅ @12:53 Not mutually exclusive. Maybe theyre gonna get together like barbie and ken but in a dirty way.
	🥁 ♥ 12:56am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Song: "Sister Morphine" by "Sissy Fitt" as i have no car stereo at the moment, and spend at least 2.5 hours driving every week, i sing. and this is one of my numbers.
	♥ 12:56am tom tom the pipers son: of course a stones song ...right...never knew ballad of lucy jordan was written by shel silverstein
	🥁 ♥ 12:57am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @12:55 she's in the market for dirty... but Alan's gotten a little boney of late
	🥁 ♥ 12:57am Alex from Media: Thank you Mike for angrying me up real good about technology and leaving me with my ears ringing. Feels like a right proper Saturday night.
	12:58am Yikes & Yay!: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:49 Oh yea - John Cale & Kevin Coyne as well !
	♥ 12:59am tom tom the pipers son: thanks mike although you didn't get my little joke even though it was riffing on your comment on her page
	♥ 1:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yikes & Yay! @12:58 written by m. f. ...?
	🥁 ♥ 1:00am Ike: A random shout-out for the serial comma? Nice.
	♥ 1:00am egould: Marketing works.
	1:02am Yikes & Yay!: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:47 Yea, tackhead (love/hate dichotomy) - however, Jimmy G & the Tackheads (a one-off) was f’n awesome fun (& very under heard) - considering it’s George Clinton relationships!

	♥ 10:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:09 Sorry you will miss the eclipse! Forecast is still iffy here in NJ. I was in Paris last summer and took the most amazing pic of a blood red sunset over the Seine. Still missing our flat there... a perfect week!
	10:16pm Jimbooooooo: QR codes are late to the game... masturbation's been around for at least fifteen years
	♥ 10:17pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Jimbooooooo @10:16 Ahhh, one of those "early adopters", I see...
	10:18pm Jimbooooooo: Oh, wait...there are cave paintings of that
	🥁 ♥ 10:25pm Alex from Media: Hey Jimbooooooo! Did I get your os right?
	♥ 10:27pm Mike Lupica: QUESTION FOR THE FLOOR: Has any band ever soiled their past glory more thoroughly than Aerosmith?
	10:31pm yikes & yay !: Oh My - maligned ‘draw the line’ trax: my mid-teens / adolescence is flooding back all of a sudden! I always felt there were abt 3 or 4 great songs off that one ! (Granted most of the rest is semi-coke’d-out-flop-sweat). had fun with that album cover - find the NINA’s!
	🥁 ♥ 10:31pm egal: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:27 The Eagles now lip-synch during "live" performances. Don Henley at least.
	🥁 ♥ 10:31pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:27 In my unpopular opinion Allison Krauss doing duets with Robert Palmer is up there on the list.
	🥁 ♥ 10:32pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @10:31 * correction Plant. Pats my bedtime.
	10:34pm yikes & yay !: Quite the let-down after the melodious funk of ‘Toys’🧸; followed by solid & tight ‘Rocks’. blah yadda blah
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm Alex from Media: I hear that domesticated turkeys will look up at the sky when it rains and drown from the drops getting down their throat. Not unlike your EQ evacuees.
	🥁 ♥ 10:43pm Chris Crisco: Never been in an earthquake but must be just a matter of time here in New Zealand.
	10:44pm yikes & yay !: ‘Kings&Queens’ from said album made me wanna throw the F’ing platter out into the yard. A few very high highs immediately followed by low lows!
	♥ 10:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chris Crisco @10:43 Chris, we'll be reaching out across the time vortex to you when it hits!
	🥁 ♥ 10:45pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mike and all
	♥ 10:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:45 How-DEE coelacanth∅!
	🥁 ♥ 10:47pm Chris Crisco: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:45 Thanks for that Mike! The time vortex just increased by an hour last night!
	♥ 10:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ egal @10:31 That dude is the worst. And I watched (and loved) the entire Eagles documentary.
	🥁 ♥ 10:54pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Shining Gilded Boulevard" by "Purling Hiss" Gonna have to make a point to see these guys.
	🥁 ♥ 10:55pm egal: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:47 www.youtube.com...

	10:59pm arlo: lurkin on & off- thanks for the diddies, daddy!
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Daddy's Diddies" by "Charles Stepney" I could totally hear Stevie Wonder singing on this.
	♥ 11:00pm Mike Lupica: ↳ arlo @10:59 Lurk all ya like!
	♥ 11:00pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:59 Haha, yes! Good call!
	🥁 ♥ 11:08pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Crazy" by "Homeboy Sandman" Hearing rap over jazz (Us3) was the tuning point for me to understand and appreciate rap. Still like it best this way. Very beatnik.
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm Alex from Media: Rumsfeld! And here I was putting away my angry emoji...
	♥ 11:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:13 Haha! One of my favorite soundbytes ever!
	♥ 11:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "The Ark" by "Gerry Rafferty" LIGHTERS OUT
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Ark" by "Gerry Rafferty" underappreciated artist
	♥ 11:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:15 NOT ON THIS SHOW! Love me some Gerry.

	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm coelacanth∅: 'can't argue with a song that gives you explosive diarrhea
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm coelacanth∅: erythmatol (sp?)
	🥁 ♥ 11:23pm Alex from Media: But you meant it in a good way!
	🥁 ♥ 11:24pm coelacanth∅: too late. it's out,Mike. forever etched in our minds and the archives
	11:24pm yikes & yay !: ¡Just scored 2 Mint minus Gerry ‘Riff’ Raff followup albums = Night Owl🦉1979 (with similar cover art) & Snakes🐍& Ladders🪜 1980 (with fun cover art)!
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm coelacanth∅: ..."olestra"?
	♥ 11:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:26 That's it!
	♥ 11:32pm Mike Lupica: Get comfy and get your head torn up by this Exorzist III track, gang. It goes on... for a while.
	🥁 ♥ 11:38pm coelacanth∅: the sweetener "erithritol" (i had it wrong @1122) also may induce mild diarrhea &/or discomfort; but it's very safe in reasonable doses and usually the benefits outweigh any potential side effects. (and it's "natural"... sort of)
	♥ 11:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Fourth Coming" by "The Exorzist III" Would just like to point out how great the dancing gif at the top of this page works with this Exorzist III song.
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm coelacanth∅: is that a live "cam" (camera) in your kitchen?
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm Ålëx fröm Mëdiä: 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm coelacanth∅: i hope so
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Ike: Hi. My cat is going bananas. Zoom zoom.
	♥ 11:45pm Mike Lupica: \m/ \m/
	♥ 11:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Fourth Coming" by "The Exorzist III" Still ten minutes to go, in case you need to go empty the trap or meet Ricky at the flagpole.
	♥ 11:52pm Chop Scott: Cheers Mike!
	♥ 11:53pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:52 Yo Scott! Hope you're getting your head tore'd up as good as I am right now!
	🥁 ♥ 11:54pm coelacanth∅: i took the trash out, cleaned out my refrigerator and changed the oil in my car. now i'll relax and enjoy the rest of the song.
	♥ 11:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:54 You still have time to order a pizza and read a few John Updike novels.
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm Ålëx fröm Mëdiä: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:54 The umlauts are on me. cöëläcänth
	♥ 11:57pm Mike Lupica: NOW WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD TIME FOR AN EARTHQUAKE AFTERSHOCK. JUST SAYIN'.
	🥁 ♥ 11:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:55 oh yeah, i ordered a pizza when the song started... received and eaten. ...but i'm a slow reader. i'll probably just barely finish this Dostoevsky (sp?) before the song ends
	♥ 11:58pm Mike Lupica: I just watched Dune.
	🥁 ♥ 12:00am Yvang: Then you can play Sister Ray...nobody will notice...
	🥁 ♥ 12:00am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Ålëx fröm Mëdiä @11:55 Thanks Ålëx i'm good
	♥ 12:00am Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @12:00 Hahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 12:01am cœlacänth∅: but i feel gypped i didn't feel any quaking or afterquaking
	🥁 ♥ 12:03am Ålëx fröm Mëdiä: ↳ Song: "On a Plain" by "Nirvana" I figured there would be a Neil Sedaka segue for a refractory period after that.
	🥁 ♥ 12:04am cœlacänth∅: i remember a few people specifically liking that nirvana song, back in the day. i always liked it, but there're so many Great nirvana songs.
	🥁 ♥ 12:07am cœlacänth∅: a friend did mention a few days ago that this anniversary was upon us. to be honest i thought it odd. so many anniversaries, deaths and birthdays, come and go without mention...
	🥁 ♥ 12:07am egal: I was listening to some college/indie-style station in Massachusetts, and the DJs were mocking Cobain.
	🥁 ♥ 12:11am cœlacänth∅: i found out about the earthquake 1 hour & 40 minutes afterward, when there was a government alert on my phone. i immediately picked up the phone to call my mother (in nj) and she was just calling me. i guess we're NOT well connected.
	🥁 ♥ 12:12am Ike: I remember that day in 1994 because FMU, WPRB, and (I think) also a commercial rock station were all playing Nirvana at the same time. That’s when I knew something was wrong.
	♥ 12:12am Chop Scott: The Starlite Lounge is sounding great Mike!
	♥ 12:13am Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @12:12 Thanks in no small part to your tech wizardry, my friend!
	♥ 12:17am Chop Scott: A very happy assist to hear you! Big Cheers to you Mike!
	🥁 ♥ 12:19am cœlacänth∅: i don't agree about dopesmoker. i don't like it because the vocals are so bad; but i listen to theoretically as or more monotonous hour-long songs at home, not so infrequently
	♥ 12:22am Mike Lupica: ↳ cœlacänth∅ @12:19 Fair.
	🥁 ♥ 12:23am Ålëx fröm Mëdiä: ↳ Song: "Ma Chérie" by "Bounaly" How are they getting the instruments so clear and the vocals so bad on this?
	🥁 ♥ 12:23am cœlacänth∅: ...maybe it's a different kind of monotony. the vocals of dopesmoker are truly monotonous, and tedious. but then that exorzist track, or some long ones by laddio bolocko or boredoms are technically more monotonous, but somehow much more exciting
	♥ 12:23am Mike Lupica: ↳ Ålëx fröm Mëdiä @12:23 Live recording, probably made on a cellphone.
	🥁 ♥ 12:24am trashflow: Playling V-3 after midnight ==> I am one listener that Abbie From Mars cannot steal!
	♥ 12:24am Mike Lupica: ↳ cœlacänth∅ @12:23 Probably unpopular opinion: Dopesmoker is better to hear ABOUT than to actually hear.
	♥ 12:24am Mike Lupica: ↳ trashflow @12:24 Hahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 12:25am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:24 hahaha
	🥁 ♥ 12:26am Andrew Waterloo: I think a big difference between stuff like Dope Smoker and something like a long Raga is that the Raga has more permutations in the instruments themselves.
	🥁 ♥ 12:27am trashflow: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:24 At the recent Northside Record Fair in Cincinnati, the Third Man box set reissue of Dopesmoker was the title that appeared for sale on the most tables. I don't think a single copy sold.
	♥ 12:27am tom tom the pipers son: hello mike and listeners....abbie be damned.....;)
	♥ 12:28am Mike Lupica: ↳ trashflow @12:27 That reminds me of the WFMU Record Fair where Joe Belock and I were both trying to offload copies of the Guided By Voices BOX and neither of us sold them.
	♥ 12:28am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:27 Hey Tom!
	♥ 12:28am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:27 But no damning Abbie. Her show rules.
	🥁 ♥ 12:29am cœlacänth∅: i think the first time i heard dopesmoker i really liked it, but after maybe 15-20 minutes i just wished he'd shut up so i could enjoy the nuances of the guitar
	🥁 ♥ 12:29am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @12:26 Yes!
	♥ 12:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:28 oh def a joke... tots camp see wink...

	🥁 ♥ 12:33am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:28 yeah, Abbie's Great! i'll go there after here. usually i'm at work right now and i rarely hear Abbie, nor the last 2/3 of hotwire mandate ...i was craving sweets and made my own "irish creme liqueur". not bad.
	♥ 12:33am Mike Lupica: ↳ egould @12:32 Funny, I just happened to have done that!
	♥ 12:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ cœlacänth∅ @12:33 same here
	♥ 12:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Snake Oil" by "Glass Beams" gif reminds me of giant bouncing ball in the prisoner... did it have a name

	♥ 12:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @12:42 a ha...
	12:46am yikes & yay !: Circa 1985?; Despite wide open (& semi tinnitus) ears👂, I found Stewart’s ‘Veneer’ album quite impenetrably static (loved his 1st solo, & of course The Pop Group!). Maybe it’s time to revisit (ha! 40 years later). Kept it all this time though….
	♥ 12:47am Mike Lupica: ↳ yikes & yay ! @12:46 I can relate: I didn't really "get" the Tackhead records I bought in the 80s, but I grew to appreciate them over the years.

	12:52am yikes & yay !: bach in the day, I never expected I/we would still be appreciating the mash of nations that was Suicide, Martin Rev & Alan Vega! IMO, In many ways holds up as well as Velvets!
	🥁 ♥ 12:52am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:47 tack>>head played on wfmu in the late 80s "what's my mission now" opened me up to rap; as it was suddenly evident that there were some thinking people beneath the surface of that scene
	🥁 ♥ 12:53am Andrew Waterloo: I saw the Pop Group in New Castle in 2018 I think
	🥁 ♥ 12:53am Andrew Waterloo: Just blown away by their bass player
	🥁 ♥ 12:53am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @12:49 but so's the Alan Vega gif!

	🥁 ♥ 12:56am cœlacänth∅: ↳ Song: "Sister Morphine" by "Sissy Fitt" as i have no car stereo at the moment, and spend at least 2.5 hours driving every week, i sing. and this is one of my numbers.
