WFMU: Ira: Playlist from October 13, 2020

Listener comments!
	8:55pm Matt in Carrboro: Getting this question in early: any chance if there being a live-streamed Hanukkah event this year? Even for one night? I’m sure people would pay! Hope you can make it back to the Cradle sometime next year!
	♥ 8:58pm Ira: Why wait till 9 pm? Is there a chance? Definitely. We're thinking about it, and hope to do something.
	♥ 9:02pm Ira: As Matt in Carrboro has demonstrated, we're here to take your questions tonight (and tonight only). And if there's nothing you want to ask me, you can also ask my producer, Georgia. . . . Or you can ask . . . my mom.
	♥ 9:02pm Uncle Michael: Hello.
	♥ 9:02pm mariano: Hey there Ira, Crew, Irationalists.
	♥ 9:03pm Pauly from Clifton: Hi Ira, Skeleton Crew, folks!
	♥ 9:03pm Fuzzy: Hello!
	♥ 9:04pm spodiodi: ahoy-hoy, Ira and inquiring minds!
	9:05pm Georgia: I have a question for Ira: how do you spell Uglesisz... I still can’t spell it!
	♥ 9:05pm Ira: Georgia, that's a trick question. It's unspellable.
	9:06pm Marilyn kaplan: Still awake
	♥ 9:06pm spodiodi: Q: How come I can't get no Tang around here?
	9:06pm Vince from Pearl: Ira, Greetings. Who is your all-time favorite ballplayer
	9:07pm glennfromglendale: Hello all, just threw the show on for the last hour of my bartending shift here on the L.E.S, if any listeners are local come thru and listen with me. East Broadway and Clinton st.
	♥ 9:08pm mariano: Hey, that was Bobby Bittman, wasn't it?
	9:08pm BH: good evening from Missouri, where the Covid dashboard hasn't been updated since Saturday due to a database error
	♥ 9:08pm spodiodi: sure sounded like him, mariano
	♥ 9:08pm Uncle Michael: @BH: hi neighbor.
	♥ 9:09pm Uncle Michael: Bobby on a telethon hosted by Sammy Maudllin?
	♥ 9:10pm Ira: @Vince, when I was very young, it was Ron Swoboda (hope I spelled my favorite player's name right). Georgia saw Jacob deGrom on the street one day, that was exciting to even hear about.
	♥ 9:11pm Ira: @Uncle Michael--the last episode of SCTV (on Cinemax) was a fundraiser to keep the station on the air. Sound familiar?
	♥ 9:11pm Rtintera: Ira, what are some places in the country or world that you look forward to playing in because the fans are so dedicated? Maybe some places that we wouldn’t expect?
	9:12pm glennfromglendale: Mookie Wilson taught me how to field ground balls at Mets baseball camp when I was a wee one. I used to talk to him from the stands when he was first base coach
	9:12pm Matt in Carrboro: Hope we get some Question Mark and the Mysterians tonight!
	♥ 9:12pm Uncle Michael: Yes it does. I don't thing the Cinemax stuff is on DVD, is it?
	♥ 9:15pm Ira: @Rtintera: I'd love to go back to Montana. We've only played there a couple of times, and it's always been fun. Georgia?
	9:16pm Stacey: Are you still playing saxophone?
	9:16pm Tim 07030: Favorite SCTV character? Throwing this one out to the entire panel.
	♥ 9:16pm Ira: @Uncle Michael: sadly, no. It's not the best season, although Gimme Jackie might be the single greatest thing they ever did.
	♥ 9:16pm Ira: @Stacey: Not at the moment. That's Pharoah Sanders. But my "horn" is at the ready, for whenever the time is right.
	♥ 9:17pm Uncle Michael: JR Jr. weirds me out, man.
	♥ 9:17pm Rtintera: Funny, I saw you in Atlanta at the Playhouse and it was a very enthusiastic crowd!
	9:17pm Ignore Function: How many states of the U.S. have you played, Ira?
	9:18pm Georgia: @ira since you asked Japan
	♥ 9:18pm Ira: @Rtintera: I hope you saw us at the Cotton Club when we all dressed as John Rocker and played "Let's Get Rid of New York." Love the Playhouse.
	♥ 9:19pm Rtintera: @georgia that makes sense. They will have tower records in Japan so...
	♥ 9:19pm Rtintera: I missed the cotton club
	♥ 9:21pm Rtintera: Have you ever thought of writing a memoir and if so what aspect of your life would be the most interesting to focus on?
	♥ 9:21pm Ira: @Ignore Function: not Alaska, Hawaii, Wyoming . . . Georgia, is there another one we haven't played?
	9:21pm Georgia: @tim07030: mine is Sid dithers
	9:21pm Ignore Function: And Georgia, too. Have you played every state in the U.S.?
	♥ 9:21pm Ira: Rtintera: No memoir from me!
	♥ 9:22pm Uncle Michael: I have a soft spot for Woody Tobias Jr.
	9:22pm glennfromglendale: @ira and @georgia how is the record collection organized? Genere? Alphabetically?
	♥ 9:22pm captain beef fart: From your heart and from your soul, why mustn't one contribute to WFMU hell raiser?
	♥ 9:23pm spodiodi: Guy Caballero
	9:23pm Georgia: @ignore function: no! Alaska nor Hawaii and I think there is a Dakota we missed.
	♥ 9:24pm Ira: @Tim: too many to name, but Libby Wolfson and Lola Heatherton are two favorites. @Glennfromglendale: mostly alphabetically, but a bunch of the thrift-store stuff that Georgia is still wondering why I bought is on a high shelf that she never has to worry about.
	♥ 9:24pm Uncle Michael: I can vouch for Kansas.
	♥ 9:24pm Ira: Don't forget: My mom is standing by, pencil in hand, to answer your questions!
	♥ 9:24pm Rtintera: What was the story behind you deciding to DJ on WFMU? Did you lose a bet with Ken? Did you ever have a show before?
	♥ 9:24pm coelacanth∅: greetings Ira and all
	♥ 9:25pm Uncle Michael: Mrs. K, was Ira spoiled by his grandparents?
	♥ 9:26pm coelacanth∅: i missed the memo. i'm not prepared with a question
	9:26pm Matt in Carrboro: Hi Mrs. Kaplan, wonderful job at the Bowery Ballroom last year! I was in the room. First time I ever saw you perform after hearing about it over the years.
	9:26pm BH: the references to Georgia made me think "wait, did they never play a show in Atlanta?"
	9:26pm Marilyn kaplan: Pencil and photo album in hand
	♥ 9:26pm Ira: @Rtintera: Not a lot of good things to say about 2020, but being stuck at home gave me the time to do a weekly show, and for some unknown reason, Ken agreed to give me one.
	♥ 9:27pm coelacanth∅: (i can vouch for new paltz)
	9:28pm Rick G: Hello Ira and Georgia and mom and all. Just tuned in to hear Alice Coltrane. Thankful for that! Question: what did you think of Mongolia?
	♥ 9:28pm Ira: @coel...: all the News: Brunswick, Paltz, York City, not ...foundland.
	9:28pm Georgia: Marilyn, was Ira spoiled by his grandparents?
	♥ 9:29pm Ira: @Rick G: I believe that was the first time we met an ambassador.
	9:29pm Marilyn kaplan: As I look back over highlights, Chanukah performance is in he top 5
	♥ 9:29pm Marley P. Dogg: Ira - who are you rooting for? Rays or Dodgers?
	9:30pm Certain tiny little fishes: Everybody be the whale you were meant to be!
	♥ 9:30pm Rtintera: What was the idea or inspiration behind sleepless nights? Are you working on any other musical projects rn?
	♥ 9:30pm mariano: Boxers or briefs? Sorry, I had to. It's a disease.
	♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: so, not new delhi?
	♥ 9:30pm Ira: @Marley: Don't tell Allen Callaci or Steve Wynn, but the Rays. Any team that beats the Yankees is ok in my book.
	♥ 9:31pm coelacanth∅: boxerbriefs
	♥ 9:31pm Marley P. Dogg: Ira - agreed!
	9:32pm Marilyn kaplan: Spoiled is a funny word. Grandparents love in a special way
	♥ 9:33pm Rtintera: This is great
	9:35pm Georgia: @rich g: I started to say it was the strangest place the band has played but that’s probably not true. Definitely the most polluted. Although German rock clubs in the 90s very very smoky. Astonishingly so. Creeps me out to think about it.o
	9:38pm Matt in Carrboro: Are you planning to watch the Wet Hot American Summer table read fundraiser and are you peeved that all these table reads are copying your idea of the sitcom theater from the Spinning Wheel tour? If you could do another sitcom theater what would you pick? Veep? Parks & Rec Lil’ Sebastian episode?
	♥ 9:39pm Uncle Michael: If Frank E Lee at WXRT did a reggae show...
	♥ 9:40pm coelacanth∅: (or if the bobbettes moved to jamaica)
	♥ 9:40pm Ira: @coel...: that's correct, not Delhi either. @Matt: Sitcom Theater belongs to the world now. You're welcome.
	9:40pm Greg Mottola: I'm entering 40 minutes late and it seems like I've missed quite a bit
	♥ 9:42pm Marley P. Dogg: Greg - you must pay the toll and pledge
	9:42pm Greg Mottola: This is to Ira and/or Georgia, Favorite pedal steel guitar player?
	9:43pm Georgia: @rtinera: sleepless night came together when the artist Yoshitomo Nara asked us to submit a side of a record of covers that he either suggested or approved of to be included in the museum retrospective book for his retrospective at LACMA just as everything was shut down this year. The other side ofTHAT record is a collection of 60s and 70s mostly folky music. Our version of this album is one sided. It takes me ages to type! I hope that helps. That book is tremendous and tremendously expensive.
	9:44pm sboston: Georgia/Ira, do either of you guys have a favorite Grateful Dead show?
	♥ 9:45pm Ira: @sboston: I only saw the Dead a couple of times. I saw a really great Playin' in the Band in Hartford. Before we knew each other, Georgia and I both fell asleep at Jerry Garcia Band shows, but then again, who didn't?
	9:46pm Georgia: Sboston.. ha ha ha. I never saw the dead.
	9:46pm glennfromglendale: @ira @georgia @marilyn favorite stand up comedian?
	♥ 9:46pm coelacanth∅: Q: what does genius + Love = ?
	♥ 9:48pm coelacanth∅: (just curious. someone told me you were a mathematician)
	9:51pm Georgia: Greg: I always liked sneaky pete but also ben Keith.. and someone I more recently learned about the last few years marc orleans who sadly died recently.
	9:51pm Greg Mottola: I'll look into him. I do love those first two.
	♥ 9:52pm Marley P. Dogg: Ira and Georgia - loaded question - but what’s the best/most positive thing to come out of the lockdown? (Other than being able to listen to WFMU all day long)
	9:54pm Georgia: Marilyn, stand up comedian?? I’ll think it over. I gotta go get Ira a beer.
	9:54pm glennfromglendale: Will van horn is a great new-ish pedal steel guitar player out of Houston, check out his album it’s great. Turns the pedal steel into a real party at the live shows
	9:54pm John L: I missed a lot. coelacanthØ, what about New Paltz?
	9:54pm Marilyn kaplan: Comedians of my generation.. Marx Brothers, early Joan Rivers, Buddy Hackett, Maxwell Smart
	9:55pm Stacey: @Ira - When the Garcia band did The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down or a slow Knockin on Heavens Door it could make one drowsy. Try the November 1991 Hampton show (YouTube). It’s full of soul!
	9:55pm Georgia: Marley Dogg: cooking. Lots of home cooking.
	♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: what kind of cheese goes best with grapefruit marmalade?
	♥ 9:57pm Marley P. Dogg: Georgia- that’s great! Home cooking is the best
	9:57pm sboston: Georgia/Ira, another "dead" question... what's the best album by The Dead C?
	♥ 9:57pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Mrs. Kaplan (big fan since Maxwell's), Ira, Georgia, skeleton, Tim (big fan since Maxwell's), everybody. Happy birthday Neil!
	9:57pm Greg Mottola: @GlennfromGlendale, Thanks for the tip!
	♥ 9:58pm coelacanth∅: John -i saw yo la tengo there. someone asked what states the band hadn't played in
	9:58pm Certain tiny little fishes: Marilyn Kaplan knows time. I hope "Spinning Wheel" was not on the spinning wheel.
	9:59pm John L: I live in New Paltz. I saw YLT play the Rhino store there, as well as up in Kingston.
	10:00pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Oh yeah! One of my fave Sir Doug songs
	♥ 10:00pm Marley P. Dogg: Georgia/Ira (please forgive me Ira’s mom) - just about out of wine - should I have an edible?
	10:00pm John L: I mean I saw them at BSP in Kingston.
	10:00pm Matt in Carrboro: Mrs. K: loved Get Smart reruns! 86 + 99 forever!
	♥ 10:00pm karlward: Ira’s mom: what is the weirdest false thing you have ever heard about your son on the Internet?
	10:00pm ariella: Question for Marilyn, how did you get the Kaplan boys to go to/stay asleep when they were babies/toddlers? No reason... thank you in advance!
	10:01pm Worm: Hi to Marilyn
	♥ 10:01pm Ira: @sboston: Georgia and I saw The Dead C in Dunedin, jetlagged to the point of collapse, and it was out of this world fantastic. If that's on an album, that's the best one, for sure.
	10:02pm Georgia: Marleydogg. Yes to the edible.. but you gotta stock up on the wine.
	♥ 10:02pm Marley P. Dogg: Georgia and Ira - if you were to name Matt Warwick’s new puppy - what would you name him/her?
	♥ 10:04pm Uncle Michael: The garbage man got the pick of the litter?
	♥ 10:04pm Ira: Our niece for some reason we can't figure out chose not to name her new puppy Pretzel. Matt likes Steely Dan, right? Doesn't everybody?
	♥ 10:04pm coelacanth∅: John we probably know each-other! are you familiar with Jack's rhythms?
	10:04pm Georgia: mdodd: that’s a question for my nephew Max. He tried to name his sisters dog but that name was rejected.
	♥ 10:05pm Marley P. Dogg: Georgia - thanks - I know - I should stop shopping one day at a time Europe style
	10:05pm Georgia: Oops bad typing M Dogg I meant.l
	♥ 10:05pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Ira, Georgia, and Marilyn! This is for anyone who chooses to answer: If you could go back in time and see any one musical performance, what would it be?
	10:05pm John L: Until April I was the owner of Jack's.I worked for jack for several years before that.
	♥ 10:05pm Uncle Michael: Steely Dan: My first concert act (they opened).
	10:06pm Phil K: @Ira and Georgia: what’s your favorite Steely Dan album?
	10:06pm Matt in Carrboro: I just started piano lessons a month ago after giving it up in elementary school. What song should I learn tonight? Already got the chords to Autumn Sweater down!
	♥ 10:06pm coelacanth∅: i thought so!
	10:07pm Georgia: @gaylord ELVIS!
	♥ 10:07pm Ira: @Uncle Michael: still kicking myself for not going to see the Countdown to Ecstasy (@Phil K--my favorite) lineup when I had the chance.
	♥ 10:07pm coelacanth∅: i'm sorry but i won't reveal my human name here but i'll tell you next time i see you.
	10:08pm John L: Georgia and Ira, have you been watching a lot of films? Any 2020 stand outs or older, newly discovered gems?
	♥ 10:08pm Gaylord Fields: Love that answer, Georgia!
	♥ 10:08pm coelacanth∅: (we've been acquainted for ~20 years)
	♥ 10:08pm Uncle Michael: I knew nothing. I was twelve. Can't Buy A Thrill. Bread still managed to follow them.
	♥ 10:09pm coelacanth∅: flipper!
	10:09pm Somm Ben: This Flipper song is the soundtrack of my mind these last 4 years
	10:09pm ?: Not sure why my sister didn't go with Pretzel either. It's still for the taking if anyone wants it.
	♥ 10:09pm Uncle Michael: For me it would be the MC5 at the Grande.
	10:10pm ?: Hi all
	10:10pm Stacey: Was Helen Shapiro at any of the Kaplan bar mitzvahs? Oy!
	♥ 10:10pm leshwatt: Hey all. Looks like I’m late to the party again. I will self destruct later.
	♥ 10:10pm Ira: It only occurred to me right now--which means too late--to follow this up with Earth Wind & Fire.
	♥ 10:11pm Gaylord Fields: @Stacey: Helen Shapiro converted to Christianity, although that's not a disqualifying event.
	♥ 10:11pm Uncle Michael: I'd let Helen do my haftorah portion. Her voice changed better than mine.
	10:11pm John L: coelacanthØ, ok!!!
	10:12pm Somm Ben: Ira, I appreciate the Flipper / Earth Wind Fire segue. Next show!
	10:12pm Marilyn Kaplan: How can I explain my relationship with the internet. I can google send emails and play words with friends, and not much else? Sentences start with “would you please”
	♥ 10:13pm Ira: @Gaylord: definitely not a disqualification. The Kaplans were not sticklers for tradition.
	10:13pm Stacey: @ Gaylord Fields you’ve got the dirt on Helen! ✡️
	♥ 10:15pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: I just thought her possibly handing out Jack Chick tracks might not be how you'd want to be ushered into manhood. @Stacey: I'd like to think of myself as the Kaplan family spiritual adviser, even if they don't.
	♥ 10:15pm Gaylord Fields: *Jack Chick tracts
	10:16pm Georgia: @john L: first cow only 2020 film I saw this year in a theater, loved it. Just watched Born to Kill w Laurence Tierney and Claire Trevor on TCM the other night. Great.
	10:17pm Marilyn Kaplan: The Kaplan Bar Mitzvas were a fiction perpetrated by my mother
	♥ 10:17pm Uncle Michael: I bid you all a good night. The cat insists.
	♥ 10:19pm Marley P. Dogg: Uncle Michael, I, for one welcome our cat overlords
	10:20pm Stacey: Thanks for the tunes and giggles. And for the EP!
	♥ 10:20pm Ira: Goodnight, UM, thanks for dropping by!
	10:21pm Jon: Love this DC
	10:21pm Marilyn Kaplan: I remember getting kids to bed as a major challenge. It will get better eventually.
	10:22pm Greg Mottola: Favorite berimbau player? Anyone?
	♥ 10:22pm Ira: @Marilyn Kaplan: Not necessarily.
	10:22pm Gary: Amazing show Ira. Yay Bonzos. Thanks again to you and @Gaylord for the Neil Innes show.
	10:22pm Jedley: I am a) arriving belatedly, b) furiously Texting Out the Vote to this soundtrack, c) sorry to miss out on questions, d) looking forward to reading the chat later, and e) a big fan of berimbau
	♥ 10:23pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:23pm Georgia: Marilyn, Greg just asked you an easy question!
	♥ 10:24pm Marley P. Dogg: Jedley - (f) - thank you for fighting the good fight!
	♥ 10:24pm Gaylord Fields: Just say "Berimbau Joe" with full confidence.
	10:25pm glennfromglendale: Best flexatone player?
	♥ 10:25pm coelacanth∅: haha
	♥ 10:25pm Ira: Hope it's not too late to shout out to Paul Niehaus in Nashville on pedal steel.
	10:25pm John L: Georgia, I just bought First Cow, sight unseen, since I love/own all of Kelly Reichardt's films. Plan on watching real soon. Born To Kill is great; for more Lawrence Tierney check out The Devil Thumbs A Ride and for more Claire Trevor, Raw Deal.
	10:26pm Greg Mottola: @Ira Definitely not!
	♥ 10:26pm Marley P. Dogg: Favorite Fela album? Or is that just a question I ask myself every day
	10:26pm Greg Mottola: @Ira not too late that is
	♥ 10:27pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, what was the first 45 you ever bought, and what was the most recent 45 you've bought?
	10:28pm Marilyn Kaplan: In answer to Gregg’s question, what was the question
	♥ 10:29pm Ira: @Gaylord: Ruby Tuesday was the first (and no, I was not cool enough to be buying it for Let's Spend the Night Together). Most recent . . . most recent . . . buying records through the mail just not as exciting or as memorable as buying them at Caldor's.
	10:29pm Slaboch: Perfect soundtrack of Nolan & the Diablos as I'm reading the new Mind Over Matter book while listening tonight. Only 497 more pages to go!
	10:31pm Greg Mottola: New question for Marilyn!: do you recall any notable Halloween costumes for Ira? Or did he not partake in such pagan rituals?
	♥ 10:31pm coelacanth∅: 2 guys on rt.22; or harmony house
	10:31pm Matt in Carrboro: LeBron or MJ?
	♥ 10:32pm coelacanth∅: i like ruby tuesday far more than let's spend the night together
	♥ 10:32pm Ira: LBJ!
	10:33pm Georgia: MLK!
	♥ 10:33pm Ira: @coel: definitely better recorder playing on Ruby Tuesday.
	10:34pm Georgia: Love Red Cross
	10:34pm Georgia: And Redd Kross
	♥ 10:34pm coelacanth∅: at least
	10:34pm Greg Mottola: @Georgia Redd Foxx?
	♥ 10:35pm Ira: @Georgia: I'm sorry you don't enjoy Red Cro$s.
	10:35pm Georgia: Greg, him too!
	♥ 10:35pm Marley P. Dogg: Asking this question on behalf of my friend Dr. Chris with his 7 pagers - favorite dance song?
	♥ 10:38pm Ira: @Marley: I miss the Subway Soul Club.
	10:38pm Marilyn Kaplan: I HATED HALLOWEEN. I didn’t think of calling it pagan rites, but I probably should have. They did participate and I hope I was gracious
	10:39pm ariella: @Marylin Kaplan thank you!
	10:40pm glennfromglendale: @ira and @gerogia I absolutely adore your cover of George McCrae’s “You can have it all”. That McCrae album is one of my all time favorites, was that cover due to a love of the song or a love of the Roland drum machine?
	10:40pm Matt in Carrboro: Western or Eastern NC barbecue? Or Memphis or Texas or Kansas City if you like.
	10:40pm Greg Mottola: @Marilyn: I can't blame you. I grew up in the suburbs and I'm sure it was a night to dread for many parents.
	10:42pm eh: I was also not a big fan of halloween, although I liked leila's chart itemizing the contents of her pillowcase-full of candy - hi Marilyn!
	10:43pm Tim 07030: Altuve just made another error. Bahahaha.
	♥ 10:43pm Gaylord Fields: I especially hated Halloween, because it required me to do my least favorite thing (dressing up in a costume) to accomplish my favorite thing (receiving free candy).
	10:44pm Joe B: @Tim - if not too late - Skip Bittman
	♥ 10:44pm chris_in_space: seconding @glennfromglendale's comments re: "You Can Have it All"
	10:44pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Tim 07030: A Mets fan is making fun of another team? I'm no Astros fan, but still trying to grasp the irony here.
	10:46pm Tim 07030: @joe b, another fine choice! I’m going with William B.
	10:46pm Marilyn Kaplan: Hi eh. I did soften after Halloween and even enjoyed some of the candy
	♥ 10:46pm herb.nyc: This Is a fun comment board, thx. But yest, John Schaefer of wnyc highlighted a new Yo La Tengo record. I'll donate to wnyc (haha).
	10:47pm Joe B: @Tim - In honor of Daryl Hall's birthday yesterday, I watched Chariots of Eggs six times in a row. William B has one of his finest moments, telling Bobby what a great job he did on the film, then admitting to not having seen it nor knowing what it was even about
	10:49pm eh: marilyn - 2 part question. do you have a favorite candy? a favorite Trader Joe's product? I loved the beet hummus but they discontinued it.
	10:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Ira is a Total Punk.
	10:50pm Georgia: Matt in Carrboro: right now I miss all bbq.
	♥ 10:50pm Marley P. Dogg: Those Trader Joe’s lines be like lord of the flies
	♥ 10:51pm Ira: James could hear in his head how great Georgia would sound singing You Can Have It All, and luckily shared the thought with the rest of us. The drum machine didn't hurt!
	10:51pm Max: Hi Marilyn! Was Ira a picky eater as a kid? If so, what foods did he refuse to eat?
	10:52pm glennfromglendale: Trader Joe’s sour Scandinavian swimmers are absolute crack
	10:52pm Georgia: @glenfromglendale I had that record since I was a teenager and love all the songs on it.
	10:53pm Joe B: to Ira and Georgia - favorite Mets game you have attended?
	♥ 10:53pm Gaylord Fields: My favorite SCTV character, other than Skip Bittman: every character on Pre-Teen World, with a special mention to Kathy Tudor.
	♥ 10:53pm coelacanth∅: nice version!
	♥ 10:55pm herb.nyc: One Met memory I have is nolan ryan throwing a really off the mark pitch. It mighta hit the backstop on the fly.
	10:55pm Joe B: apparently berry gordy wanted the then hitless temptations to record Do You Love Me, but they were at a gig out of town, so he had the contours do it
	♥ 10:55pm Ira: @Joe B: that one's easy. I was at Tom Seaver's near perfect game. Not only that, but somehow my dad had gotten 4 seats in the PRESS BOX. Bill Shea's seats!
	10:56pm glennfromglendale: God do I miss Shea stadium
	♥ 10:56pm Marley P. Dogg: Favorite episode of the Simpsons?
	♥ 10:56pm coelacanth∅: and the contours pegged it brilliantly! ( and then motown practically tossed 'em to the curb)
	10:58pm Joe B: contours did have a few more R&B chart hits. shake sherry for one.
	♥ 10:58pm Ira: @Marley: Selfishly, D'oh-ing in the Wind. Unselfishly, A Fish Called Selma.
	10:58pm Georgia: joe b: Probably one of those freezing cold early spring games with a rain delay sipping watery ballgame hot chocolate trying to stay warm!
	10:58pm Marilyn Kaplan: I have thankfully lost all interest in candy, but Trader Joe beef or turkey frozen meatballs are quite good and convenient, and many of their frozen hors d’oeurves
	10:59pm Joe B: @gaylord - my favorite preteen world character - Stephan's hair!
	♥ 10:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: Wow!!! I'm so envious! But then, I was at the infamous 1985 Banner Day doubleheader immortalized in the song "Baseball Altamont" — I saw a different fistfight practically every inning of the second game!
	♥ 10:59pm Ira: @herb: We had a day off in Dallas years ago and chose to go see the Texas Tornados instead of Nolan Ryan pitching for the Rangers. Even though Ryan got creamed with a batted ball, something like that, we didn't regret the decision for a moment.
	♥ 11:00pm Gaylord Fields: Georgia, what cherished item from your childhood do you still possess, if any? If none, is there one you wish you still had?
	11:00pm Joe B: @Ira - I figured that would be your answer! @georgia - wow, I was never into those cold april games. i mean, i still went, but ...
	11:02pm Joe B: also, kudos to the Miracles for also doing the false ending on their version of Do You Love Me. (Unless it was the same backing track, and they had no choice)
	11:02pm Georgia: I still have stored in a closet my stuffed cat named Bologna Salami. Looks weird when I spell it. Doubt I have ever had a reason to until now.
	♥ 11:03pm northguineahills: more woodblock!
	♥ 11:03pm Marley P. Dogg: Ira - Kudos or Kang?
	11:03pm Georgia: As in stuffed animal.. not literally a stuffed cat, that would be creepy.
	11:04pm Phil K: @Ira and Georgia Thank you for the three times you’ve played San Antonio. Hope to see you back here again. Is it true that your version of Little Honda was inspired by hearing local favorites Big Drag? Or is that just rumor?
	♥ 11:04pm coelacanth∅: Joe i especially like the way it came back up -with a little more of a bang than the contours version
	11:05pm eh: I didn't realize you still had her/him?? will request a visit next time I see you - a beautiful siamese stuffed cat - flat with a squeaky tail that you dipped in oj - tmi?
	♥ 11:05pm Matt Fiveash: I and/or G- out of all the ones you attended over the years, what was your favorite uncomfortable Ponderosa Stomp musical moment (example: Nokie Edwards playing Tears in Heaven)?
	11:05pm Joe B: @coelacanth∅: yes, didn't sound like the same backing track, but with motown you can never be too sure!
	♥ 11:05pm Gaylord Fields: @Georgia: It's so sweet that you still have Bologna Salami (love the name!), and your having never written its name before indicates you haven't done anything as crass as insure Bologna Salami.
	♥ 11:06pm Ira: Re: Do You Love Me. I was thinking while it was playing that the same way all guitarists learn Chuck Berry riffs, well, most of them do, all engineers learn to do the quick fade out/in for Do You Love Me.
	♥ 11:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Matt F: I'd like to think they were probably already acclimated to hearing Tears in Heaven at unexpected moments after ? and the Mysterians played it at my wedding reception for K.'s and my first dance.
	♥ 11:09pm Gaylord Fields: Sorry, that was Wonderful Tonight, but same difference.
	11:09pm Michael Shore: weren't the turtles on white whale?
	11:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Man, so many artists hated playing the songs we asked them to at the Stomp...but then some loved playing them!
	11:09pm glennfromglendale: I or G The Fifth Dimension or Rotary Connection?
	11:10pm Joe B: on paper, might be La La Brooks doing a u2 song but she put it over pretty well!
	11:10pm Georgia: Joe b: ok, those were not my favorite game experiences and yet somehow being a knucklehead among a few other knuckleheads who insist on staying till the end of a wet and cold game, that let’s face it the Mets were likely losing, is weirdly a fond memory.
	11:11pm Joe B: There's a Rotary Connection connection to that Emotions track (yes I have no life)
	♥ 11:11pm coelacanth∅: at some point i'm going to have to hear a vocal version of mother-in-law
	♥ 11:11pm Gaylord Fields: @Todd-o-phonic Todd: It's gotta be strange and a little disconcerting for some of these artists to have people interested in the stupid record they made as a 19-year-old that sold zippo, rather than their later "mature" work.
	♥ 11:12pm northguineahills: @Michael: It's turtles all the way down......
	♥ 11:12pm Gaylord Fields: @northguineahills: Haha! They really should have named their singles comp from a few years ago that.
	11:13pm glennfromglendale: @joe b I guess that’s why that question popped into my head
	11:13pm Joe B: co-producer Charley Stepney is the rotary connection connection to the emotions
	11:13pm Georgia: Gaylord and Matt F: a great memory of ever hearing that song is at Gaylord’s wedding!
	11:14pm Rick G: This chat thread has been really random and sweet and fun. Thanks for this!
	11:14pm Joe B: @georgia - I know what you mean. When the Mets were out of it in September in the early 2000s, the big shots at the Daily News had long lost interest in the team so the tickets would filter down to us slobs - many great Thursday afternoon games with about 3,000 people in the stands, and warmer weather than april!
	11:14pm Michael Shore: @northguineahills thanks
	11:15pm John Baumgartner: Whoa, getting a spin on Ira's mom night. I'm going to share this with my mom tomorrow.
	11:15pm Georgia: Gaylord you’re right!those Clapton tunes really blend together huh
	♥ 11:15pm Matt Fiveash: Medley time!
	♥ 11:16pm northguineahills: Mary Lattimore!
	♥ 11:16pm Ira: @Matt Fiveash: Every last fershlugginer version of Mustang Sally.
	11:17pm Georgia: Medley time! Ha
	♥ 11:17pm Gaylord Fields: Georgia, they're one big pile of glurge. And did I tell you about ? counseling K. and me to not feed our future kids peanut butter, because it "sexes them up"? Suffice to say, we remain childless.
	♥ 11:17pm herb.nyc: Aside- I'm about to lose $4 in a bet. I figured baseball season wouldn't properly finish due to covid. But it looks like I'll be wrong. (As for a nov 4 bet, yowza). re Trader Joe, a wfmu listener suggested their frozen cod provençal. I like!
	11:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gaylord Fields: Irma Thomas said the greatest thing I've ever heard from a "heritage artist" (and this was back in the 80's). She had just finished doing some of her Imperial sides and said, "Now that I've sung some songs that you like, I'm going to sing a song that I like". She proceeded to perform "Simply The Best" by Tina Turner.
	11:18pm Marilyn Kaplan: Just saw your question, Max. Abe and I were food lovers and conveyed our feelings about food to all our kids. I do not remember pickey eaters, but that was a loooong time ago
	♥ 11:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Todd: Beautiful! And I bet Irma made you actually not mind hearing it.
	11:19pm Georgia: EH: what’s the point of a tail if you can’t dip it in oj.
	11:20pm Joe B: fair to call the emotions a one hit wonder. they might have snuck into the lower rungs of the top 40 in the Stax years. and Boogie Wonderland was obviously a hit but really an EW&F number despite the co-billing
	11:20pm Marilyn Kaplan: Time to end the day. Thanks. It was great.
	♥ 11:20pm Gaylord Fields: Georgia, you are pretty wonderful tonight yourself with the one-liners!
	♥ 11:21pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Marilyn!
	11:21pm Joe B: now that i think of it EW&F wrote best of my love for them also ...
	♥ 11:21pm Ira: Thanks, Mom!
	11:22pm Georgia: Goodnight MK!
	♥ 11:24pm northguineahills: Rachel Grimes! Haven't heard her solo stuff. Rachel's is a fave band of mine!
	11:25pm Count Mikeula!: This music is scary!
	11:25pm Matt in Carrboro: Do you have a favorite Drag City Records album? (Used to an intern there)
	11:26pm Joe B: speaking of ?, I think their version of Stand By Me from the House of Blues is still going ...
	11:26pm RabidRabbit: @Count Best kind of music, hehe :P
	♥ 11:28pm coelacanth∅: good night Mr. Ira's Mother
	♥ 11:28pm Ira: @Matt: The Seasons Reverse is one of my favorite songs on any label.
	11:30pm Vince from Pearl: Thanks for the great show!
	11:31pm eh: geo: I thought the oj fixed the squeak and that you were a genius for figuring that out.
	♥ 11:31pm herb.nyc: If ira's mother wants any compost or potting soil, plz tell her to say "I'm with the band" for a special price!
	11:31pm Joe B: I know it wasn't asked of me, but Drag City has put out 2 of my faves from this year - No Age and Jackie Lynn!
	♥ 11:32pm northguineahills: Joseph Alfred, new to me and digdug!
	♥ 11:32pm Tome: !<>! very nice !<>!
	♥ 11:33pm Ira: All questions are asked of Joe, unless someone specifically instructs you not to answer. And if anyone does that, they'll be bounced off this conversation faster than Alvin Lee can play the blues.
	11:33pm Matt in Carrboro: Good picks Joe! Pretty sure I saw Jackie Lynn is doing a live stream very soon from The Hideout
	11:34pm Joe B: If anyone needs anymore useless trivia on The Emotions, I'm you're guy!
	11:35pm Joe B: @Matt - thanks for the heads up - was not aware of that
	11:36pm Matt in Carrboro: Ira or Georgia (or Joe) : did you play any sports growing up? I’m assuming baseball but maybe you’re just fans? What position?
	11:36pm Jedley: Wow this stretch has been amazing. Fantastic GOTV texting workflow music
	11:37pm Matt in Carrboro: Jackie Lynn is this Saturday I just checked
	11:37pm Joe B: great thanks!
	11:38pm nanspired: Mrs. Kaplan, I loved your performance of “my little corner of the world” for the Hanukkah show!
	11:38pm Michael Shore: now this is my type of music here
	♥ 11:39pm spodiodi: i worked in a lab with a guy who was very pleased when he purposely sent a job to the beast dot matrix printer top tip it over he also didn't know how to tie a tie, and kept the same double windsor knot in his tie which he wore every day for decades
	♥ 11:39pm spodiodi: i agree with michael shore
	11:39pm Michael Shore: what key are they in?
	♥ 11:39pm northguineahills: @Joe B: useless trivia, please go on (useless trivia is one of my few talents. Before the pandemic, not only I would drink free at bars. I made some chump change). BTO!
	♥ 11:39pm Ira: @Matt: I played baseball, enthusiastically but poorly. In elementary school, I sank a foul shot that won a game for our class in gym, and was literally carried off on my classmates' shoulders. I remember that vividly, and cannot tell Gaylord the last 45 I purchased. In fairness to me, I have a lot more record purchases to remember than positive memories of being an athlete.
	♥ 11:39pm spodiodi: to* tip it over
	♥ 11:40pm Ira: @Michael Shore: rim shot!
	11:41pm Jedley: @nanspired, unless that happens every year I feel like I was there for that many years ago!!!! I was just thinking of that
	11:41pm Joe B: @matt - baseball through 9th grade, cut in 10th. played 2B-3B in little league, 5th or 6th outfielder (aka bench/scorebook) in older leagues. hoops in junior high, cut in 9th grade, coach asked me not to try out the next year!
	11:41pm Matt in Carrboro: Good stuff! I can still remember the one time I scored a good goal in rec league as a defensive soccer player
	♥ 11:42pm Gaylord Fields: Ira: I remember the winning goal I scored in floor hockey when i was 13 like it was yesterday, but I hesitate to recall what I had for dinner a week ago.
	♥ 11:45pm Ira: In 7th grade, my intramural soccer team was missing one of our best players, so I ended up being the goalie. I saved our upset victory by blocking a shot with my face.
	11:45pm BNowB_: Sounding so good TY Ahhhh... breathing better
	♥ 11:45pm Richy4619: I pitched & played all spots IF/OF. Now I just hoop.
	♥ 11:45pm Richy4619: Ю ●＼(◕_◕＼)
	11:46pm BH: reporting in to say that the great sorting out of stuff (because a bunch of it is getting thrown out) meant that I dug a fidget cube out from a pile of stuff on a desk. Soon enough, there will be open bookcases for books. Anybody need any books about to use Windows 95?
	11:46pm BNowB_: Bmx, Tennis or Hoops all day :) oh wait what lol ◕_◕
	11:46pm Matt in Carrboro: Are you guys familiar with Pete and Pete the cult 90’s Nickelodeon show? I was a big fan and love the music by Mark Mulcahy. Anyway I’m now showing it to my elementary age kids and noticed Phil Morrison directed an episode! If you’re ever looming for new songs to cover I highly encourage you to pick anything off the soundtrack to that show! Maybe I’ll request it at next year’s marathon.
	♥ 11:47pm northguineahills: Elysia Crampton, and Ed Yazijian, both new me and digdugs.... I still remember my pub league's half field goals, and a back heels until my knee surgeries took me out of footie (soccer).
	11:48pm BH: about how to use... which makes as much sense as having 25 year old OS books down here. At least the Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia "1990 yearbook" that we got from a door to door person or grocery store still has some staying power.
	♥ 11:48pm northguineahills: @Matt: I love Peter & Pete! back heel volley goals....
	♥ 11:49pm northguineahills: Ok, stop it autocarrot, Pete and Pete
	11:50pm Joe B: kreskin came up on Todd's playlist earlier tonight, now Sir Richard Bishop. recreating Night 5 from last December! paging Nutley Sam!
	11:51pm Matt in Carrboro: This Rick Bishop tune is aces
	♥ 11:52pm Richy4619: @Matt in Carrboro, Are you familiar with the Concern? its a pop-up art book shop project based in CH/Carrboro/Raleigh
	11:52pm mb: Hola Ira and the good people who hath posted Checking in just in time to enjoy a chunk of this Sir Richard which is hitting the spot. Thx
	11:52pm BNowB_: I respect footie.. if for nothing else the amazing physical condition you must be in to run up and down the soccer field, let alone all the skill involved.
	11:53pm Matt in Carrboro: No not aware of the Concern but I’ll look it up for sure! Did it pop up only recently or what?
	11:54pm RabidRabbit: It's all rugby league, AFL and cricket here in Oz :) This music reminds me of the Dirty Three a lot. Very nice:)
	♥ 11:55pm Scott Williams: This has been an exceptionally enjoyable comments board to lurk on this evening, but my grade school athletic humiliations will remain mine alone. Thanks Ira, Georgia and Marilyn!
	♥ 11:55pm coelacanth∅: soccer was the only competitive sport i was good at. drafted into the little league i played unenthusiastically and poorly. though i could sometimes make contact with the ball and if so get to 1st or 2nd.
	11:55pm Georgia: Good night everybody!
	11:56pm BNowB_: @Scott williams LOL haaha
	11:56pm Joe B: thanks Ira and Georgia - great show!
	♥ 11:56pm northguineahills: Happy thanks, Ira! Buenas noches, todos!
	11:56pm Joe B: and thanks Scott!
	♥ 11:56pm Ira: Thank you for listening. Thanks for all the comments and all the questions. And extra special thanks to my guest interviewees: Georgia and my mom!
	11:56pm Georgia: So glad you brought this one back. Speaking of aces!
	♥ 11:56pm mariano: Thanks Ira, Georgia, and Crew, 'night all!
	11:56pm eh: night!
	11:57pm Matt in Carrboro: Yeah lots of fun! I see the Concern has a spot near me. Thanks for the tip. Bye!
	♥ 11:57pm spodiodi: Thanks, Ira and Georgia! Mrs. K, and Crew!
	11:57pm Michael Shore: missed you by thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat much, Ira!
	11:57pm RabidRabbit: Thank you very much:)

	11:58pm BNowB_: buenas noches
	11:58pm RabidRabbit: Yes, true:)
	11:58pm Jedley: this outro always gives me feelings
	♥ 11:59pm coelacanth∅: (though yes dirty 3 more, because of the strings)

Listener comments!
	8:55pm Matt in Carrboro: Getting this question in early: any chance if there being a live-streamed Hanukkah event this year? Even for one night? I’m sure people would pay! Hope you can make it back to the Cradle sometime next year!
	♥ 8:58pm Ira: Why wait till 9 pm? Is there a chance? Definitely. We're thinking about it, and hope to do something.
	♥ 9:02pm Ira: As Matt in Carrboro has demonstrated, we're here to take your questions tonight (and tonight only). And if there's nothing you want to ask me, you can also ask my producer, Georgia. . . . Or you can ask . . . my mom.
	♥ 9:02pm Uncle Michael: Hello.
	♥ 9:02pm mariano: Hey there Ira, Crew, Irationalists.
	♥ 9:03pm Pauly from Clifton: Hi Ira, Skeleton Crew, folks!
	♥ 9:03pm Fuzzy: Hello!
	♥ 9:04pm spodiodi: ahoy-hoy, Ira and inquiring minds!
	9:05pm Georgia: I have a question for Ira: how do you spell Uglesisz... I still can’t spell it!
	♥ 9:05pm Ira: Georgia, that's a trick question. It's unspellable.
	9:06pm Marilyn kaplan: Still awake
	♥ 9:06pm spodiodi: Q: How come I can't get no Tang around here?
	9:06pm Vince from Pearl: Ira, Greetings. Who is your all-time favorite ballplayer
	9:07pm glennfromglendale: Hello all, just threw the show on for the last hour of my bartending shift here on the L.E.S, if any listeners are local come thru and listen with me. East Broadway and Clinton st.
	♥ 9:08pm mariano: Hey, that was Bobby Bittman, wasn't it?
	9:08pm BH: good evening from Missouri, where the Covid dashboard hasn't been updated since Saturday due to a database error
	♥ 9:08pm spodiodi: sure sounded like him, mariano
	♥ 9:08pm Uncle Michael: @BH: hi neighbor.
	♥ 9:09pm Uncle Michael: Bobby on a telethon hosted by Sammy Maudllin?
	♥ 9:10pm Ira: @Vince, when I was very young, it was Ron Swoboda (hope I spelled my favorite player's name right). Georgia saw Jacob deGrom on the street one day, that was exciting to even hear about.
	♥ 9:11pm Ira: @Uncle Michael--the last episode of SCTV (on Cinemax) was a fundraiser to keep the station on the air. Sound familiar?
	♥ 9:11pm Rtintera: Ira, what are some places in the country or world that you look forward to playing in because the fans are so dedicated? Maybe some places that we wouldn’t expect?
	9:12pm glennfromglendale: Mookie Wilson taught me how to field ground balls at Mets baseball camp when I was a wee one. I used to talk to him from the stands when he was first base coach
	9:12pm Matt in Carrboro: Hope we get some Question Mark and the Mysterians tonight!
	♥ 9:12pm Uncle Michael: Yes it does. I don't thing the Cinemax stuff is on DVD, is it?
	♥ 9:15pm Ira: @Rtintera: I'd love to go back to Montana. We've only played there a couple of times, and it's always been fun. Georgia?
	9:16pm Stacey: Are you still playing saxophone?
	9:16pm Tim 07030: Favorite SCTV character? Throwing this one out to the entire panel.
	♥ 9:16pm Ira: @Uncle Michael: sadly, no. It's not the best season, although Gimme Jackie might be the single greatest thing they ever did.
	♥ 9:16pm Ira: @Stacey: Not at the moment. That's Pharoah Sanders. But my "horn" is at the ready, for whenever the time is right.
	♥ 9:17pm Uncle Michael: JR Jr. weirds me out, man.
	♥ 9:17pm Rtintera: Funny, I saw you in Atlanta at the Playhouse and it was a very enthusiastic crowd!
	9:17pm Ignore Function: How many states of the U.S. have you played, Ira?
	9:18pm Georgia: @ira since you asked Japan
	♥ 9:18pm Ira: @Rtintera: I hope you saw us at the Cotton Club when we all dressed as John Rocker and played "Let's Get Rid of New York." Love the Playhouse.
	♥ 9:19pm Rtintera: @georgia that makes sense. They will have tower records in Japan so...
	♥ 9:19pm Rtintera: I missed the cotton club
	♥ 9:21pm Rtintera: Have you ever thought of writing a memoir and if so what aspect of your life would be the most interesting to focus on?
	♥ 9:21pm Ira: @Ignore Function: not Alaska, Hawaii, Wyoming . . . Georgia, is there another one we haven't played?
	9:21pm Georgia: @tim07030: mine is Sid dithers
	9:21pm Ignore Function: And Georgia, too. Have you played every state in the U.S.?
	♥ 9:21pm Ira: Rtintera: No memoir from me!
	♥ 9:22pm Uncle Michael: I have a soft spot for Woody Tobias Jr.
	9:22pm glennfromglendale: @ira and @georgia how is the record collection organized? Genere? Alphabetically?
	♥ 9:22pm captain beef fart: From your heart and from your soul, why mustn't one contribute to WFMU hell raiser?
	♥ 9:23pm spodiodi: Guy Caballero
	9:23pm Georgia: @ignore function: no! Alaska nor Hawaii and I think there is a Dakota we missed.
	♥ 9:24pm Ira: @Tim: too many to name, but Libby Wolfson and Lola Heatherton are two favorites. @Glennfromglendale: mostly alphabetically, but a bunch of the thrift-store stuff that Georgia is still wondering why I bought is on a high shelf that she never has to worry about.
	♥ 9:24pm Uncle Michael: I can vouch for Kansas.
	♥ 9:24pm Ira: Don't forget: My mom is standing by, pencil in hand, to answer your questions!
	♥ 9:24pm Rtintera: What was the story behind you deciding to DJ on WFMU? Did you lose a bet with Ken? Did you ever have a show before?
	♥ 9:24pm coelacanth∅: greetings Ira and all
	♥ 9:25pm Uncle Michael: Mrs. K, was Ira spoiled by his grandparents?
	♥ 9:26pm coelacanth∅: i missed the memo. i'm not prepared with a question
	9:26pm Matt in Carrboro: Hi Mrs. Kaplan, wonderful job at the Bowery Ballroom last year! I was in the room. First time I ever saw you perform after hearing about it over the years.
	9:26pm BH: the references to Georgia made me think "wait, did they never play a show in Atlanta?"
	9:26pm Marilyn kaplan: Pencil and photo album in hand
	♥ 9:26pm Ira: @Rtintera: Not a lot of good things to say about 2020, but being stuck at home gave me the time to do a weekly show, and for some unknown reason, Ken agreed to give me one.
	♥ 9:27pm coelacanth∅: (i can vouch for new paltz)
	9:28pm Rick G: Hello Ira and Georgia and mom and all. Just tuned in to hear Alice Coltrane. Thankful for that! Question: what did you think of Mongolia?
	♥ 9:28pm Ira: @coel...: all the News: Brunswick, Paltz, York City, not ...foundland.
	9:28pm Georgia: Marilyn, was Ira spoiled by his grandparents?
	♥ 9:29pm Ira: @Rick G: I believe that was the first time we met an ambassador.
	9:29pm Marilyn kaplan: As I look back over highlights, Chanukah performance is in he top 5
	♥ 9:29pm Marley P. Dogg: Ira - who are you rooting for? Rays or Dodgers?
	9:30pm Certain tiny little fishes: Everybody be the whale you were meant to be!
	♥ 9:30pm Rtintera: What was the idea or inspiration behind sleepless nights? Are you working on any other musical projects rn?
	♥ 9:30pm mariano: Boxers or briefs? Sorry, I had to. It's a disease.
	♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: so, not new delhi?
	♥ 9:30pm Ira: @Marley: Don't tell Allen Callaci or Steve Wynn, but the Rays. Any team that beats the Yankees is ok in my book.
	♥ 9:31pm coelacanth∅: boxerbriefs
	♥ 9:31pm Marley P. Dogg: Ira - agreed!
	9:32pm Marilyn kaplan: Spoiled is a funny word. Grandparents love in a special way
	♥ 9:33pm Rtintera: This is great
	9:35pm Georgia: @rich g: I started to say it was the strangest place the band has played but that’s probably not true. Definitely the most polluted. Although German rock clubs in the 90s very very smoky. Astonishingly so. Creeps me out to think about it.o
	9:38pm Matt in Carrboro: Are you planning to watch the Wet Hot American Summer table read fundraiser and are you peeved that all these table reads are copying your idea of the sitcom theater from the Spinning Wheel tour? If you could do another sitcom theater what would you pick? Veep? Parks & Rec Lil’ Sebastian episode?
	♥ 9:39pm Uncle Michael: If Frank E Lee at WXRT did a reggae show...
	♥ 9:40pm coelacanth∅: (or if the bobbettes moved to jamaica)
	♥ 9:40pm Ira: @coel...: that's correct, not Delhi either. @Matt: Sitcom Theater belongs to the world now. You're welcome.
	9:40pm Greg Mottola: I'm entering 40 minutes late and it seems like I've missed quite a bit
	♥ 9:42pm Marley P. Dogg: Greg - you must pay the toll and pledge
	9:42pm Greg Mottola: This is to Ira and/or Georgia, Favorite pedal steel guitar player?
	9:43pm Georgia: @rtinera: sleepless night came together when the artist Yoshitomo Nara asked us to submit a side of a record of covers that he either suggested or approved of to be included in the museum retrospective book for his retrospective at LACMA just as everything was shut down this year. The other side ofTHAT record is a collection of 60s and 70s mostly folky music. Our version of this album is one sided. It takes me ages to type! I hope that helps. That book is tremendous and tremendously expensive.
	9:44pm sboston: Georgia/Ira, do either of you guys have a favorite Grateful Dead show?
	♥ 9:45pm Ira: @sboston: I only saw the Dead a couple of times. I saw a really great Playin' in the Band in Hartford. Before we knew each other, Georgia and I both fell asleep at Jerry Garcia Band shows, but then again, who didn't?
	9:46pm Georgia: Sboston.. ha ha ha. I never saw the dead.
	9:46pm glennfromglendale: @ira @georgia @marilyn favorite stand up comedian?
	♥ 9:46pm coelacanth∅: Q: what does genius + Love = ?
	♥ 9:48pm coelacanth∅: (just curious. someone told me you were a mathematician)
	9:51pm Georgia: Greg: I always liked sneaky pete but also ben Keith.. and someone I more recently learned about the last few years marc orleans who sadly died recently.
	9:51pm Greg Mottola: I'll look into him. I do love those first two.
	♥ 9:52pm Marley P. Dogg: Ira and Georgia - loaded question - but what’s the best/most positive thing to come out of the lockdown? (Other than being able to listen to WFMU all day long)
	9:54pm Georgia: Marilyn, stand up comedian?? I’ll think it over. I gotta go get Ira a beer.
	9:54pm glennfromglendale: Will van horn is a great new-ish pedal steel guitar player out of Houston, check out his album it’s great. Turns the pedal steel into a real party at the live shows
	9:54pm John L: I missed a lot. coelacanthØ, what about New Paltz?
	9:54pm Marilyn kaplan: Comedians of my generation.. Marx Brothers, early Joan Rivers, Buddy Hackett, Maxwell Smart
	9:55pm Stacey: @Ira - When the Garcia band did The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down or a slow Knockin on Heavens Door it could make one drowsy. Try the November 1991 Hampton show (YouTube). It’s full of soul!
	9:55pm Georgia: Marley Dogg: cooking. Lots of home cooking.
	♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: what kind of cheese goes best with grapefruit marmalade?
	♥ 9:57pm Marley P. Dogg: Georgia- that’s great! Home cooking is the best
	9:57pm sboston: Georgia/Ira, another "dead" question... what's the best album by The Dead C?
	♥ 9:57pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Mrs. Kaplan (big fan since Maxwell's), Ira, Georgia, skeleton, Tim (big fan since Maxwell's), everybody. Happy birthday Neil!
	9:57pm Greg Mottola: @GlennfromGlendale, Thanks for the tip!
	♥ 9:58pm coelacanth∅: John -i saw yo la tengo there. someone asked what states the band hadn't played in
	9:58pm Certain tiny little fishes: Marilyn Kaplan knows time. I hope "Spinning Wheel" was not on the spinning wheel.
	9:59pm John L: I live in New Paltz. I saw YLT play the Rhino store there, as well as up in Kingston.
	10:00pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Oh yeah! One of my fave Sir Doug songs
	♥ 10:00pm Marley P. Dogg: Georgia/Ira (please forgive me Ira’s mom) - just about out of wine - should I have an edible?
	10:00pm John L: I mean I saw them at BSP in Kingston.
	10:00pm Matt in Carrboro: Mrs. K: loved Get Smart reruns! 86 + 99 forever!
	♥ 10:00pm karlward: Ira’s mom: what is the weirdest false thing you have ever heard about your son on the Internet?
	10:00pm ariella: Question for Marilyn, how did you get the Kaplan boys to go to/stay asleep when they were babies/toddlers? No reason... thank you in advance!
	10:01pm Worm: Hi to Marilyn
	♥ 10:01pm Ira: @sboston: Georgia and I saw The Dead C in Dunedin, jetlagged to the point of collapse, and it was out of this world fantastic. If that's on an album, that's the best one, for sure.
	10:02pm Georgia: Marleydogg. Yes to the edible.. but you gotta stock up on the wine.
	♥ 10:02pm Marley P. Dogg: Georgia and Ira - if you were to name Matt Warwick’s new puppy - what would you name him/her?
	♥ 10:04pm Uncle Michael: The garbage man got the pick of the litter?
	♥ 10:04pm Ira: Our niece for some reason we can't figure out chose not to name her new puppy Pretzel. Matt likes Steely Dan, right? Doesn't everybody?
	♥ 10:04pm coelacanth∅: John we probably know each-other! are you familiar with Jack's rhythms?
	10:04pm Georgia: mdodd: that’s a question for my nephew Max. He tried to name his sisters dog but that name was rejected.
	♥ 10:05pm Marley P. Dogg: Georgia - thanks - I know - I should stop shopping one day at a time Europe style
	10:05pm Georgia: Oops bad typing M Dogg I meant.l
	♥ 10:05pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Ira, Georgia, and Marilyn! This is for anyone who chooses to answer: If you could go back in time and see any one musical performance, what would it be?
	10:05pm John L: Until April I was the owner of Jack's.I worked for jack for several years before that.
	♥ 10:05pm Uncle Michael: Steely Dan: My first concert act (they opened).
	10:06pm Phil K: @Ira and Georgia: what’s your favorite Steely Dan album?
	10:06pm Matt in Carrboro: I just started piano lessons a month ago after giving it up in elementary school. What song should I learn tonight? Already got the chords to Autumn Sweater down!
	♥ 10:06pm coelacanth∅: i thought so!
	10:07pm Georgia: @gaylord ELVIS!
	♥ 10:07pm Ira: @Uncle Michael: still kicking myself for not going to see the Countdown to Ecstasy (@Phil K--my favorite) lineup when I had the chance.
	♥ 10:07pm coelacanth∅: i'm sorry but i won't reveal my human name here but i'll tell you next time i see you.
	10:08pm John L: Georgia and Ira, have you been watching a lot of films? Any 2020 stand outs or older, newly discovered gems?
	♥ 10:08pm Gaylord Fields: Love that answer, Georgia!
	♥ 10:08pm coelacanth∅: (we've been acquainted for ~20 years)
	♥ 10:08pm Uncle Michael: I knew nothing. I was twelve. Can't Buy A Thrill. Bread still managed to follow them.
	♥ 10:09pm coelacanth∅: flipper!
	10:09pm Somm Ben: This Flipper song is the soundtrack of my mind these last 4 years
	10:09pm ?: Not sure why my sister didn't go with Pretzel either. It's still for the taking if anyone wants it.
	♥ 10:09pm Uncle Michael: For me it would be the MC5 at the Grande.
	10:10pm ?: Hi all
	10:10pm Stacey: Was Helen Shapiro at any of the Kaplan bar mitzvahs? Oy!
	♥ 10:10pm leshwatt: Hey all. Looks like I’m late to the party again. I will self destruct later.
	♥ 10:10pm Ira: It only occurred to me right now--which means too late--to follow this up with Earth Wind & Fire.
	♥ 10:11pm Gaylord Fields: @Stacey: Helen Shapiro converted to Christianity, although that's not a disqualifying event.
	♥ 10:11pm Uncle Michael: I'd let Helen do my haftorah portion. Her voice changed better than mine.
	10:11pm John L: coelacanthØ, ok!!!
	10:12pm Somm Ben: Ira, I appreciate the Flipper / Earth Wind Fire segue. Next show!
	10:12pm Marilyn Kaplan: How can I explain my relationship with the internet. I can google send emails and play words with friends, and not much else? Sentences start with “would you please”
	♥ 10:13pm Ira: @Gaylord: definitely not a disqualification. The Kaplans were not sticklers for tradition.
	10:13pm Stacey: @ Gaylord Fields you’ve got the dirt on Helen! ✡️
	♥ 10:15pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: I just thought her possibly handing out Jack Chick tracks might not be how you'd want to be ushered into manhood. @Stacey: I'd like to think of myself as the Kaplan family spiritual adviser, even if they don't.
	♥ 10:15pm Gaylord Fields: *Jack Chick tracts
	10:16pm Georgia: @john L: first cow only 2020 film I saw this year in a theater, loved it. Just watched Born to Kill w Laurence Tierney and Claire Trevor on TCM the other night. Great.
	10:17pm Marilyn Kaplan: The Kaplan Bar Mitzvas were a fiction perpetrated by my mother
	♥ 10:17pm Uncle Michael: I bid you all a good night. The cat insists.
	♥ 10:19pm Marley P. Dogg: Uncle Michael, I, for one welcome our cat overlords
	10:20pm Stacey: Thanks for the tunes and giggles. And for the EP!
	♥ 10:20pm Ira: Goodnight, UM, thanks for dropping by!
	10:21pm Jon: Love this DC
	10:21pm Marilyn Kaplan: I remember getting kids to bed as a major challenge. It will get better eventually.
	10:22pm Greg Mottola: Favorite berimbau player? Anyone?
	♥ 10:22pm Ira: @Marilyn Kaplan: Not necessarily.
	10:22pm Gary: Amazing show Ira. Yay Bonzos. Thanks again to you and @Gaylord for the Neil Innes show.
	10:22pm Jedley: I am a) arriving belatedly, b) furiously Texting Out the Vote to this soundtrack, c) sorry to miss out on questions, d) looking forward to reading the chat later, and e) a big fan of berimbau
	♥ 10:23pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:23pm Georgia: Marilyn, Greg just asked you an easy question!
	♥ 10:24pm Marley P. Dogg: Jedley - (f) - thank you for fighting the good fight!
	♥ 10:24pm Gaylord Fields: Just say "Berimbau Joe" with full confidence.
	10:25pm glennfromglendale: Best flexatone player?
	♥ 10:25pm coelacanth∅: haha
	♥ 10:25pm Ira: Hope it's not too late to shout out to Paul Niehaus in Nashville on pedal steel.
	10:25pm John L: Georgia, I just bought First Cow, sight unseen, since I love/own all of Kelly Reichardt's films. Plan on watching real soon. Born To Kill is great; for more Lawrence Tierney check out The Devil Thumbs A Ride and for more Claire Trevor, Raw Deal.
	10:26pm Greg Mottola: @Ira Definitely not!
	♥ 10:26pm Marley P. Dogg: Favorite Fela album? Or is that just a question I ask myself every day
	10:26pm Greg Mottola: @Ira not too late that is
	♥ 10:27pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, what was the first 45 you ever bought, and what was the most recent 45 you've bought?
	10:28pm Marilyn Kaplan: In answer to Gregg’s question, what was the question
	♥ 10:29pm Ira: @Gaylord: Ruby Tuesday was the first (and no, I was not cool enough to be buying it for Let's Spend the Night Together). Most recent . . . most recent . . . buying records through the mail just not as exciting or as memorable as buying them at Caldor's.
	10:29pm Slaboch: Perfect soundtrack of Nolan & the Diablos as I'm reading the new Mind Over Matter book while listening tonight. Only 497 more pages to go!
	10:31pm Greg Mottola: New question for Marilyn!: do you recall any notable Halloween costumes for Ira? Or did he not partake in such pagan rituals?
	♥ 10:31pm coelacanth∅: 2 guys on rt.22; or harmony house
	10:31pm Matt in Carrboro: LeBron or MJ?
	♥ 10:32pm coelacanth∅: i like ruby tuesday far more than let's spend the night together
	♥ 10:32pm Ira: LBJ!
	10:33pm Georgia: MLK!
	♥ 10:33pm Ira: @coel: definitely better recorder playing on Ruby Tuesday.
	10:34pm Georgia: Love Red Cross
	10:34pm Georgia: And Redd Kross
	♥ 10:34pm coelacanth∅: at least
	10:34pm Greg Mottola: @Georgia Redd Foxx?
	♥ 10:35pm Ira: @Georgia: I'm sorry you don't enjoy Red Cro$s.
	10:35pm Georgia: Greg, him too!
	♥ 10:35pm Marley P. Dogg: Asking this question on behalf of my friend Dr. Chris with his 7 pagers - favorite dance song?
	♥ 10:38pm Ira: @Marley: I miss the Subway Soul Club.
	10:38pm Marilyn Kaplan: I HATED HALLOWEEN. I didn’t think of calling it pagan rites, but I probably should have. They did participate and I hope I was gracious
	10:39pm ariella: @Marylin Kaplan thank you!
	10:40pm glennfromglendale: @ira and @gerogia I absolutely adore your cover of George McCrae’s “You can have it all”. That McCrae album is one of my all time favorites, was that cover due to a love of the song or a love of the Roland drum machine?
	10:40pm Matt in Carrboro: Western or Eastern NC barbecue? Or Memphis or Texas or Kansas City if you like.
	10:40pm Greg Mottola: @Marilyn: I can't blame you. I grew up in the suburbs and I'm sure it was a night to dread for many parents.
	10:42pm eh: I was also not a big fan of halloween, although I liked leila's chart itemizing the contents of her pillowcase-full of candy - hi Marilyn!
	10:43pm Tim 07030: Altuve just made another error. Bahahaha.
	♥ 10:43pm Gaylord Fields: I especially hated Halloween, because it required me to do my least favorite thing (dressing up in a costume) to accomplish my favorite thing (receiving free candy).
	10:44pm Joe B: @Tim - if not too late - Skip Bittman
	♥ 10:44pm chris_in_space: seconding @glennfromglendale's comments re: "You Can Have it All"
	10:44pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Tim 07030: A Mets fan is making fun of another team? I'm no Astros fan, but still trying to grasp the irony here.
	10:46pm Tim 07030: @joe b, another fine choice! I’m going with William B.
	10:46pm Marilyn Kaplan: Hi eh. I did soften after Halloween and even enjoyed some of the candy
	♥ 10:46pm herb.nyc: This Is a fun comment board, thx. But yest, John Schaefer of wnyc highlighted a new Yo La Tengo record. I'll donate to wnyc (haha).
	10:47pm Joe B: @Tim - In honor of Daryl Hall's birthday yesterday, I watched Chariots of Eggs six times in a row. William B has one of his finest moments, telling Bobby what a great job he did on the film, then admitting to not having seen it nor knowing what it was even about
	10:49pm eh: marilyn - 2 part question. do you have a favorite candy? a favorite Trader Joe's product? I loved the beet hummus but they discontinued it.
	10:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Ira is a Total Punk.
	10:50pm Georgia: Matt in Carrboro: right now I miss all bbq.
	♥ 10:50pm Marley P. Dogg: Those Trader Joe’s lines be like lord of the flies
	♥ 10:51pm Ira: James could hear in his head how great Georgia would sound singing You Can Have It All, and luckily shared the thought with the rest of us. The drum machine didn't hurt!
	10:51pm Max: Hi Marilyn! Was Ira a picky eater as a kid? If so, what foods did he refuse to eat?
	10:52pm glennfromglendale: Trader Joe’s sour Scandinavian swimmers are absolute crack
	10:52pm Georgia: @glenfromglendale I had that record since I was a teenager and love all the songs on it.
	10:53pm Joe B: to Ira and Georgia - favorite Mets game you have attended?
	♥ 10:53pm Gaylord Fields: My favorite SCTV character, other than Skip Bittman: every character on Pre-Teen World, with a special mention to Kathy Tudor.
	♥ 10:53pm coelacanth∅: nice version!
	♥ 10:55pm herb.nyc: One Met memory I have is nolan ryan throwing a really off the mark pitch. It mighta hit the backstop on the fly.
	10:55pm Joe B: apparently berry gordy wanted the then hitless temptations to record Do You Love Me, but they were at a gig out of town, so he had the contours do it
	♥ 10:55pm Ira: @Joe B: that one's easy. I was at Tom Seaver's near perfect game. Not only that, but somehow my dad had gotten 4 seats in the PRESS BOX. Bill Shea's seats!
	10:56pm glennfromglendale: God do I miss Shea stadium
	♥ 10:56pm Marley P. Dogg: Favorite episode of the Simpsons?
	♥ 10:56pm coelacanth∅: and the contours pegged it brilliantly! ( and then motown practically tossed 'em to the curb)
	10:58pm Joe B: contours did have a few more R&B chart hits. shake sherry for one.
	♥ 10:58pm Ira: @Marley: Selfishly, D'oh-ing in the Wind. Unselfishly, A Fish Called Selma.
	10:58pm Georgia: joe b: Probably one of those freezing cold early spring games with a rain delay sipping watery ballgame hot chocolate trying to stay warm!
	10:58pm Marilyn Kaplan: I have thankfully lost all interest in candy, but Trader Joe beef or turkey frozen meatballs are quite good and convenient, and many of their frozen hors d’oeurves
	10:59pm Joe B: @gaylord - my favorite preteen world character - Stephan's hair!
	♥ 10:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: Wow!!! I'm so envious! But then, I was at the infamous 1985 Banner Day doubleheader immortalized in the song "Baseball Altamont" — I saw a different fistfight practically every inning of the second game!
	♥ 10:59pm Ira: @herb: We had a day off in Dallas years ago and chose to go see the Texas Tornados instead of Nolan Ryan pitching for the Rangers. Even though Ryan got creamed with a batted ball, something like that, we didn't regret the decision for a moment.
	♥ 11:00pm Gaylord Fields: Georgia, what cherished item from your childhood do you still possess, if any? If none, is there one you wish you still had?
	11:00pm Joe B: @Ira - I figured that would be your answer! @georgia - wow, I was never into those cold april games. i mean, i still went, but ...
	11:02pm Joe B: also, kudos to the Miracles for also doing the false ending on their version of Do You Love Me. (Unless it was the same backing track, and they had no choice)
	11:02pm Georgia: I still have stored in a closet my stuffed cat named Bologna Salami. Looks weird when I spell it. Doubt I have ever had a reason to until now.
	♥ 11:03pm northguineahills: more woodblock!
	♥ 11:03pm Marley P. Dogg: Ira - Kudos or Kang?
	11:03pm Georgia: As in stuffed animal.. not literally a stuffed cat, that would be creepy.
	11:04pm Phil K: @Ira and Georgia Thank you for the three times you’ve played San Antonio. Hope to see you back here again. Is it true that your version of Little Honda was inspired by hearing local favorites Big Drag? Or is that just rumor?
	♥ 11:04pm coelacanth∅: Joe i especially like the way it came back up -with a little more of a bang than the contours version
	11:05pm eh: I didn't realize you still had her/him?? will request a visit next time I see you - a beautiful siamese stuffed cat - flat with a squeaky tail that you dipped in oj - tmi?
	♥ 11:05pm Matt Fiveash: I and/or G- out of all the ones you attended over the years, what was your favorite uncomfortable Ponderosa Stomp musical moment (example: Nokie Edwards playing Tears in Heaven)?
	11:05pm Joe B: @coelacanth∅: yes, didn't sound like the same backing track, but with motown you can never be too sure!
	♥ 11:05pm Gaylord Fields: @Georgia: It's so sweet that you still have Bologna Salami (love the name!), and your having never written its name before indicates you haven't done anything as crass as insure Bologna Salami.
	♥ 11:06pm Ira: Re: Do You Love Me. I was thinking while it was playing that the same way all guitarists learn Chuck Berry riffs, well, most of them do, all engineers learn to do the quick fade out/in for Do You Love Me.
	♥ 11:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Matt F: I'd like to think they were probably already acclimated to hearing Tears in Heaven at unexpected moments after ? and the Mysterians played it at my wedding reception for K.'s and my first dance.
	♥ 11:09pm Gaylord Fields: Sorry, that was Wonderful Tonight, but same difference.
	11:09pm Michael Shore: weren't the turtles on white whale?
	11:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Man, so many artists hated playing the songs we asked them to at the Stomp...but then some loved playing them!
	11:09pm glennfromglendale: I or G The Fifth Dimension or Rotary Connection?
	11:10pm Joe B: on paper, might be La La Brooks doing a u2 song but she put it over pretty well!
	11:10pm Georgia: Joe b: ok, those were not my favorite game experiences and yet somehow being a knucklehead among a few other knuckleheads who insist on staying till the end of a wet and cold game, that let’s face it the Mets were likely losing, is weirdly a fond memory.
	11:11pm Joe B: There's a Rotary Connection connection to that Emotions track (yes I have no life)
	♥ 11:11pm coelacanth∅: at some point i'm going to have to hear a vocal version of mother-in-law
	♥ 11:11pm Gaylord Fields: @Todd-o-phonic Todd: It's gotta be strange and a little disconcerting for some of these artists to have people interested in the stupid record they made as a 19-year-old that sold zippo, rather than their later "mature" work.
	♥ 11:12pm northguineahills: @Michael: It's turtles all the way down......
	♥ 11:12pm Gaylord Fields: @northguineahills: Haha! They really should have named their singles comp from a few years ago that.
	11:13pm glennfromglendale: @joe b I guess that’s why that question popped into my head
	11:13pm Joe B: co-producer Charley Stepney is the rotary connection connection to the emotions
	11:13pm Georgia: Gaylord and Matt F: a great memory of ever hearing that song is at Gaylord’s wedding!
	11:14pm Rick G: This chat thread has been really random and sweet and fun. Thanks for this!
	11:14pm Joe B: @georgia - I know what you mean. When the Mets were out of it in September in the early 2000s, the big shots at the Daily News had long lost interest in the team so the tickets would filter down to us slobs - many great Thursday afternoon games with about 3,000 people in the stands, and warmer weather than april!
	11:14pm Michael Shore: @northguineahills thanks
	11:15pm John Baumgartner: Whoa, getting a spin on Ira's mom night. I'm going to share this with my mom tomorrow.
	11:15pm Georgia: Gaylord you’re right!those Clapton tunes really blend together huh
	♥ 11:15pm Matt Fiveash: Medley time!
	♥ 11:16pm northguineahills: Mary Lattimore!
	♥ 11:16pm Ira: @Matt Fiveash: Every last fershlugginer version of Mustang Sally.
	11:17pm Georgia: Medley time! Ha
	♥ 11:17pm Gaylord Fields: Georgia, they're one big pile of glurge. And did I tell you about ? counseling K. and me to not feed our future kids peanut butter, because it "sexes them up"? Suffice to say, we remain childless.
	♥ 11:17pm herb.nyc: Aside- I'm about to lose $4 in a bet. I figured baseball season wouldn't properly finish due to covid. But it looks like I'll be wrong. (As for a nov 4 bet, yowza). re Trader Joe, a wfmu listener suggested their frozen cod provençal. I like!
	11:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gaylord Fields: Irma Thomas said the greatest thing I've ever heard from a "heritage artist" (and this was back in the 80's). She had just finished doing some of her Imperial sides and said, "Now that I've sung some songs that you like, I'm going to sing a song that I like". She proceeded to perform "Simply The Best" by Tina Turner.
	11:18pm Marilyn Kaplan: Just saw your question, Max. Abe and I were food lovers and conveyed our feelings about food to all our kids. I do not remember pickey eaters, but that was a loooong time ago
	♥ 11:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Todd: Beautiful! And I bet Irma made you actually not mind hearing it.
	11:19pm Georgia: EH: what’s the point of a tail if you can’t dip it in oj.
	11:20pm Joe B: fair to call the emotions a one hit wonder. they might have snuck into the lower rungs of the top 40 in the Stax years. and Boogie Wonderland was obviously a hit but really an EW&F number despite the co-billing
	11:20pm Marilyn Kaplan: Time to end the day. Thanks. It was great.
	♥ 11:20pm Gaylord Fields: Georgia, you are pretty wonderful tonight yourself with the one-liners!
	♥ 11:21pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Marilyn!
	11:21pm Joe B: now that i think of it EW&F wrote best of my love for them also ...
	♥ 11:21pm Ira: Thanks, Mom!
	11:22pm Georgia: Goodnight MK!
	♥ 11:24pm northguineahills: Rachel Grimes! Haven't heard her solo stuff. Rachel's is a fave band of mine!
	11:25pm Count Mikeula!: This music is scary!
	11:25pm Matt in Carrboro: Do you have a favorite Drag City Records album? (Used to an intern there)
	11:26pm Joe B: speaking of ?, I think their version of Stand By Me from the House of Blues is still going ...
	11:26pm RabidRabbit: @Count Best kind of music, hehe :P
	♥ 11:28pm coelacanth∅: good night Mr. Ira's Mother
	♥ 11:28pm Ira: @Matt: The Seasons Reverse is one of my favorite songs on any label.
	11:30pm Vince from Pearl: Thanks for the great show!
	11:31pm eh: geo: I thought the oj fixed the squeak and that you were a genius for figuring that out.
	♥ 11:31pm herb.nyc: If ira's mother wants any compost or potting soil, plz tell her to say "I'm with the band" for a special price!
	11:31pm Joe B: I know it wasn't asked of me, but Drag City has put out 2 of my faves from this year - No Age and Jackie Lynn!
	♥ 11:32pm northguineahills: Joseph Alfred, new to me and digdug!
	♥ 11:32pm Tome: !<>! very nice !<>!
	♥ 11:33pm Ira: All questions are asked of Joe, unless someone specifically instructs you not to answer. And if anyone does that, they'll be bounced off this conversation faster than Alvin Lee can play the blues.
	11:33pm Matt in Carrboro: Good picks Joe! Pretty sure I saw Jackie Lynn is doing a live stream very soon from The Hideout
	11:34pm Joe B: If anyone needs anymore useless trivia on The Emotions, I'm you're guy!
	11:35pm Joe B: @Matt - thanks for the heads up - was not aware of that
	11:36pm Matt in Carrboro: Ira or Georgia (or Joe) : did you play any sports growing up? I’m assuming baseball but maybe you’re just fans? What position?
	11:36pm Jedley: Wow this stretch has been amazing. Fantastic GOTV texting workflow music
	11:37pm Matt in Carrboro: Jackie Lynn is this Saturday I just checked
	11:37pm Joe B: great thanks!
	11:38pm nanspired: Mrs. Kaplan, I loved your performance of “my little corner of the world” for the Hanukkah show!
	11:38pm Michael Shore: now this is my type of music here
	♥ 11:39pm spodiodi: i worked in a lab with a guy who was very pleased when he purposely sent a job to the beast dot matrix printer top tip it over he also didn't know how to tie a tie, and kept the same double windsor knot in his tie which he wore every day for decades
	♥ 11:39pm spodiodi: i agree with michael shore
	11:39pm Michael Shore: what key are they in?
	♥ 11:39pm northguineahills: @Joe B: useless trivia, please go on (useless trivia is one of my few talents. Before the pandemic, not only I would drink free at bars. I made some chump change). BTO!
	♥ 11:39pm Ira: @Matt: I played baseball, enthusiastically but poorly. In elementary school, I sank a foul shot that won a game for our class in gym, and was literally carried off on my classmates' shoulders. I remember that vividly, and cannot tell Gaylord the last 45 I purchased. In fairness to me, I have a lot more record purchases to remember than positive memories of being an athlete.
	♥ 11:39pm spodiodi: to* tip it over
	♥ 11:40pm Ira: @Michael Shore: rim shot!
	11:41pm Jedley: @nanspired, unless that happens every year I feel like I was there for that many years ago!!!! I was just thinking of that
	11:41pm Joe B: @matt - baseball through 9th grade, cut in 10th. played 2B-3B in little league, 5th or 6th outfielder (aka bench/scorebook) in older leagues. hoops in junior high, cut in 9th grade, coach asked me not to try out the next year!
	11:41pm Matt in Carrboro: Good stuff! I can still remember the one time I scored a good goal in rec league as a defensive soccer player
	♥ 11:42pm Gaylord Fields: Ira: I remember the winning goal I scored in floor hockey when i was 13 like it was yesterday, but I hesitate to recall what I had for dinner a week ago.
	♥ 11:45pm Ira: In 7th grade, my intramural soccer team was missing one of our best players, so I ended up being the goalie. I saved our upset victory by blocking a shot with my face.
	11:45pm BNowB_: Sounding so good TY Ahhhh... breathing better
	♥ 11:45pm Richy4619: I pitched & played all spots IF/OF. Now I just hoop.
	♥ 11:45pm Richy4619: Ю ●＼(◕_◕＼)
	11:46pm BH: reporting in to say that the great sorting out of stuff (because a bunch of it is getting thrown out) meant that I dug a fidget cube out from a pile of stuff on a desk. Soon enough, there will be open bookcases for books. Anybody need any books about to use Windows 95?
	11:46pm BNowB_: Bmx, Tennis or Hoops all day :) oh wait what lol ◕_◕
	11:46pm Matt in Carrboro: Are you guys familiar with Pete and Pete the cult 90’s Nickelodeon show? I was a big fan and love the music by Mark Mulcahy. Anyway I’m now showing it to my elementary age kids and noticed Phil Morrison directed an episode! If you’re ever looming for new songs to cover I highly encourage you to pick anything off the soundtrack to that show! Maybe I’ll request it at next year’s marathon.
	♥ 11:47pm northguineahills: Elysia Crampton, and Ed Yazijian, both new me and digdugs.... I still remember my pub league's half field goals, and a back heels until my knee surgeries took me out of footie (soccer).
	11:48pm BH: about how to use... which makes as much sense as having 25 year old OS books down here. At least the Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia "1990 yearbook" that we got from a door to door person or grocery store still has some staying power.
	♥ 11:48pm northguineahills: @Matt: I love Peter & Pete! back heel volley goals....
	♥ 11:49pm northguineahills: Ok, stop it autocarrot, Pete and Pete
	11:50pm Joe B: kreskin came up on Todd's playlist earlier tonight, now Sir Richard Bishop. recreating Night 5 from last December! paging Nutley Sam!

	♥ 11:52pm Richy4619: @Matt in Carrboro, Are you familiar with the Concern? its a pop-up art book shop project based in CH/Carrboro/Raleigh
	11:52pm mb: Hola Ira and the good people who hath posted Checking in just in time to enjoy a chunk of this Sir Richard which is hitting the spot. Thx
	11:52pm BNowB_: I respect footie.. if for nothing else the amazing physical condition you must be in to run up and down the soccer field, let alone all the skill involved.
	11:53pm Matt in Carrboro: No not aware of the Concern but I’ll look it up for sure! Did it pop up only recently or what?
	11:54pm RabidRabbit: It's all rugby league, AFL and cricket here in Oz :) This music reminds me of the Dirty Three a lot. Very nice:)
	♥ 11:55pm Scott Williams: This has been an exceptionally enjoyable comments board to lurk on this evening, but my grade school athletic humiliations will remain mine alone. Thanks Ira, Georgia and Marilyn!
	♥ 11:55pm coelacanth∅: soccer was the only competitive sport i was good at. drafted into the little league i played unenthusiastically and poorly. though i could sometimes make contact with the ball and if so get to 1st or 2nd.
