Listener comments!
	9:53pm Little Danny: Hi beauties.
	9:56pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi Danny
	10:00pm Flash Strap: Hi LD, matt!
	10:01pm Little Danny: Hi youse guys!
	10:01pm Little Danny: The photography in this first film is excellent btw.
	💍 10:01pm WR: hello folks. LD, play me some dishwasher tunes, thanks.
	💍 10:01pm chresti: Hi Little Danny and flambos! Getting situated at the kitchen table..
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: hello Danny and all
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: i need a god-damned drink, 'this church have a bar?
	10:04pm Little Danny: All I can offer you is this ol' bottle of turpentine, Coela. Skol!
	10:04pm Little Danny: WR, chresti, coela: I forgot to welcome you properly. Come in, come in.
	10:05pm TDK60: Evening LD.
	10:06pm still b/p: 'Ey, compudahs, huh? Crazy. They can make a car, bim, beep, whiz, done. But can they make me set of shelves, hah? A friend gave me a fat bottle of Quiet Man Irish whiskey yesterday, coel, and it'll be around here a long time if I don't share often and generously.
	10:06pm coelacanth: i'll have that then. and a chalice of chipped china for a chaser, if you got that
	10:06pm Matt from New Orleans: Not bad for a nepotism record 😜
	💍 10:07pm Franco Twinkie: Danny! Moments ago I found my knit hat that was featured in a Russian movie on the Flame-O-Scope sometime last year. I saw a corner of it peaking out from behind a chair. I'd like to do a positive I.D. but I can't remember what was the date of that particular movie.
	10:08pm coelacanth∅: s b/p named after a movie?
	💍 10:09pm Aitch: Snazzy
	10:09pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m just jesting Danny. I enjoyed the Light in the Attic comp that collected Packy Axton’s recordings.
	10:09pm Little Danny: TDK, still b/p, Franco, Aitch! Evenin' mornin' afternoon' it doesn't matter. You'll never need to leave this casino again.
	💍 10:09pm chresti: The vw factory, maybe.
	10:10pm Little Danny: Hi Franco, I remember! I'll see if I can find a YouTube link for you. I want this circle to complete itself.
	10:10pm still b/p: The maker claims it's named after his own Da, a bartender for 50 years, "true to the code and told no tales." But, c'mon, who's gonna see that name and not think he's trying to get the film-associative attention?
	10:11pm slugluv1313: hiya Little Danny, everyone! mostly in lurk/work mode, loving the soundtrack :)
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: one of the many vw models or sub-models that never made it here
	💍 10:11pm chresti: John Wayne wanna-be
	10:12pm Little Danny: Hi Slug! Glad to have you here in any capacity!
	💍 10:12pm chresti: It's shaped like a mercedes.
	10:13pm Little Danny: The VWs made available to the Brazilian and Mexican markets were so nice.
	💍 10:13pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Danny. I was already to go back and read all the comments to try and find it.
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: well still i thought that and i know diddly about movies! ...i'd try it though.
	10:14pm Little Danny: www.roadandtrack.com...
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: hi slugluv!
	10:14pm ARB: Hi Danny!
	10:15pm Dean: All cars are the same. That people miss this amazes me.
	10:15pm Little Danny: ARB! Look I made this show for your birthday.
	10:15pm Little Danny: Classic Dean entrance.
	10:16pm ARB: Thank you, a perfect present!
	💍 10:16pm Franco Twinkie: Dean you are such a fucking trouble maker.
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: "grrr who's ready for an argument?!"
	10:16pm ARB: You gave me a present last week also with the AC Ducey rec, I found a cheap copy
	10:16pm Matt from New Orleans: Danny I’m struggling right now as a I sort of agree with Dean
	💍 10:17pm chresti: Dean, haha.
	10:17pm still b/p: They could have tried naming the whiskey "Marykate's Fortune" or "Danaher's Fist," but, what the hell, go for the bigger "coincidental" bait. Local pub is called Bull Feeny's, named for Quiet Man director John Ford, who started his life around here. Got us a statue, too.
	10:18pm Little Danny: Ugh, sorry, keep forgetting to update the playlist.
	💍 10:18pm Franco Twinkie: Any way. That VW is such a strange hybrid. Kind of like an Avanti crossed with a Volvo P1800. Coel, you want to weigh in?
	10:18pm coelacanth∅: it's true, all cars are the same. just as all pasta dishes are the same. i mean, they all have pasta, so they're all the same! what is wrong with people that they can't see this?
	💍 10:19pm chresti: Cars are the same and cannabis doesn't have any effect.
	💍 10:19pm Franco Twinkie: Ignore him Coel. He just wants to make us mad.
	10:20pm still b/p: All songs are the same. I can't tell if this one is Iron Man or not.
	10:20pm Little Danny: static.wikia.nocookie.net...
	10:20pm coelacanth∅: he can't! Dean, just assimilate already.
	💍 10:20pm chresti: Haha still b/p.
	💍 10:22pm chresti: Haha coel @10:18
	10:23pm coelacanth∅: Franco i wasn't paying much attention and now i wish i was. but i just got home a few minutes ago to a very cold house and i'm typing and listening and doing other things and only glanced at the movie
	10:23pm Dean: Thank you, chresti, for recalling my other campaign. (I don't believe it doesn't have an effect. I believe the effect is largely placebo.) Franco, that's beautiful. I am 100% positive that you know that I am the opposite of a trouble maker. Anyway, I've spent today listening to Frank Zappa. I don't much like Frank Zappa. But somehow I needed to wade in the muck that is his oeuvre. You know, songs about Palmdale.
	10:25pm Little Danny: Korla as fuck.
	10:25pm Little Danny: Maya + Korla
	💍 10:26pm chresti: Perfecto, LD.
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: who's Maya? (who's your Maya?)
	10:27pm Little Danny: Maya Deren, the present filmmaker and actor.
	💍 10:28pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, that song about Palmdale was recorded at the Roxy in 1973. Kid Congo and I were sitting right in the front row. We could read what the monsters were saying that were painted on Franks shoes.
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: the babe crawling around? <
	💍 10:28pm Aitch: Cannabis and cars is a match made in heaven
	10:29pm TDK60: Maya Deren doesn't hurt my eyes.
	10:29pm doctorjazz: Hey Danny and all!
	10:29pm Little Danny: Hi doc!
	💍 10:29pm Franco Twinkie: Cave woman, yes!
	10:30pm still b/p: Do NOT look directly into Korla's eyes or his turban jewel if you watch a video.
	10:31pm Little Danny: Man I really wish I had some Korla in queue. Dang.
	10:31pm Little Danny: Korla video that is.
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: hey dr.j!
	10:33pm doctorjazz: Hey, Coel!
	10:35pm Dean: Damn, Franco, wish I'd been there, too.
	💍 10:35pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, one of my new years resolutions is to name drop only one time a show. I'll have to save my Korla Pandit story for off line.
	10:38pm Matt from New Orleans: I guess Mr Fine Wine inspired you to play that last one again
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: here are 2 vws we never saw in the states: external-content.duckduckgo.com... otomobilarsiv.com...
	10:39pm still b/p: Friend of mine -- the whiskey gifter -- told me yesterday he was at the Cocker show when Mad Dog and Englishmen was recorded. I got only second tier show stories, if that.
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: (that i wish i had)
	10:40pm slugluv1313: awwwww MARU! and pal <3 <3 <3 yup just checked in on the Flame-O-Scope :)
	💍 10:40pm chresti: I don't remember a lot of the shows I went to.
	💍 10:40pm Franco Twinkie: I would kill for that purple one!
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: legendary, still! ...i don't know if i've ever been at a show that was issued legitimately maybe a punk band
	10:41pm slugluv1313: hiya coela!
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: Franco right? the red one's interesting but not too pretty
	💍 10:44pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah, the face on that red one kind of looks like one of those boat cars that you'd see in Mechanics Illustrated.
	💍 10:46pm Franco Twinkie: We will be there Danny!
	10:47pm ARB: We will be there too!
	💍 10:48pm Franco Twinkie: Alina, what did you do on your birthday?
	10:48pm Little Danny: @slug: Glad you caught Maru. He makes a cameo pretty much every show!
	💍 10:48pm chresti: I had a teacher that interned with the Eames. ARB is correct, we will be there, LD.
	10:48pm Dean: Cripes, I haven't spoken with Jan in ages.
	10:49pm Little Danny: ❤️❤️❤️
	10:51pm Little Danny: That was the most California video.
	10:51pm Little Danny: This guy has a message for you, Dean.
	10:52pm slugluv1313: @Little Danny -- he is just so freaking CUTE and he knows it, hah! but yes -- SO WONDERFUL to see MARU when i was taking a break :)
	💍 10:52pm chresti: I somehow missed a fieldtrip to the Eames house.
	💍 10:52pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, these cars are ugly.
	10:53pm slugluv1313: @Franco -- ugly AND awful colors!
	💍 10:53pm chresti: Puke color cars.
	10:53pm still b/p: Yes, 80s tide of automotive ugliness.
	10:54pm Little Danny: Shitboxes of the boxiest order.
	10:54pm Dean: I only just realized that you all are referring to the video. He's now trying to distinguish one car from another. It's his very effort that confirms to me my hypothesis.
	💍 10:55pm Franco Twinkie: Slug, yup, and for the most part, mechanically inferior.
	💍 10:55pm chresti: Haha K cars. Compact cars were the vogue after the gas shortage.
	💍 10:56pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, what do you drive? No judgement, but I need to know.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: Dean haha
	10:56pm still b/p: The 80s! Come for the off-putting colors, but stay for the unreliability!
	10:57pm Little Danny: I was gonna ask the same thing, Franco. I'm hoping for a three-wheeled trike of some sort.
	💍 10:57pm Ignore Function: Great show, LD. That Leighton Craig track really piqued my curiosity.
	10:58pm Dean: Nissan Versa, 2015, total piece of shit. Nevertheless, I know that Porsches are glorified Volkswagens.
	10:58pm ARB: Franco, we hiked in the Santa Monicas and took a Swan Boat ride in Echo Park Lake
	10:59pm Matt from New Orleans: When was your birthday ARB? Mine was Monday.
	11:00pm ARB: Matt, mine was Tuesday, Happy Birthday!
	💍 11:00pm chresti: We had a used 1980 vw rabbit diesel, it got 50 mpg.
	11:00pm Matt from New Orleans: Same to you
	11:00pm Little Danny: Thanks Ignore F! Not all of Craig's stuff is that dissonant, but I dig it all. His duo Primitive Motion is a similar-ish and a fave of mine as well.
	11:01pm Dean: For me, the very act of getting into the car is a trial. As is, for that matter, watching Astaire. Have to pause the video.
	💍 11:01pm Franco Twinkie: Nice! I love the boats in that lake, especially when the water lilies are blooming.
	💍 11:01pm chresti: Happy birthday Matt and ARB!
	11:01pm Matt from New Orleans: Danny in case you were curious I don’t own a car
	11:02pm Dean: I had a VW pick-up, diesel, many years ago. Lost it when a fucking nun t-boned me at an intersection. Mileage wasn't that great.
	11:02pm Little Danny: Happy b-days y'all
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: happy post-birthday ARB! i like yer new hairdo!
	11:04pm Little Danny: @Dean: If you're as romantic as I'm imagining you later married that nun. Meet cute!
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: happy post-birthday Matt!
	11:05pm ARB: Thank you Chresti! Coela! Little Danny!
	11:05pm ARB: '85 4wd Honda Civic here
	11:06pm Little Danny: I love that model, ARB. The station wagon, right?
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: yeah that car rocks
	💍 11:06pm northguineahills: LD, take us home....
	11:07pm Little Danny: Hey hey NGH we're still ascending!
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: the old vw pickups were pretty cool too, until they turned to dust
	💍 11:07pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, what does Thelma Ritter say about Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits? Men wreck into her just to start a conversation? Oh I forgot, you hate all movies! Never mind.
	💍 11:08pm chresti: Polanski
	11:09pm Little Danny: Yeah, Polański. Ambivalence here about whether to stream this or not, but it was just ludicrous enough.
	11:10pm slugluv1313: aghhhhhh Two Men and A Wardrobe -- horrible, that poor kitten
	11:10pm Dean: Didn't marry her, nor did I marry the truck driver who drifted into me on the freeway causing me to spin around on the freeway. Weirdly, the thought never crossed my mind. I don't "hate all moves." Jesus, folks, this is precisely how we get the fake news we like to bitch about. I simply don't enjoy the visuals and, furthermore, I can't regard cinema as an art. Or I have a very hard time doing so.
	11:11pm still b/p: Late note: Iconic house built same period as Eames house was Farnsworth House, by Mies Van Der Rohe. Check the story -- you'll come for the modernism and juicy gossip but stay for the lawsuits, failures and insults.
	11:11pm Matt from New Orleans: Dean you’re making me regret ever admitting to have any level of agreement with you
	11:12pm Dean: Matt, your saying I should have married the truck driver?
	11:13pm Dean: OFFS: you're
	💍 11:13pm Franco Twinkie: What, I can't make a sweeping statement? Dean, you have stated more than once what low regard you have for movies.
	11:13pm Matt from New Orleans: Not at all. I just completely disagree with your commentary on film.
	11:13pm Little Danny: Well Dean I love you and love roasting you because you're so sweeping sometimes.
	💍 11:13pm chresti: Did Bunuel have a movie where a dead mule gets drug around?
	💍 11:14pm Franco Twinkie: L'age de Ore.
	11:14pm coelacanth∅: well what was she like, the truck driver?
	11:14pm coelacanth∅: (besides inattentive)
	💍 11:15pm chresti: Ah, thanks Franco.
	11:15pm Matt from New Orleans: I just recall a donkey eye getting sliced Chresti but I’ll think about it more
	11:15pm Matt from New Orleans: I haven’t watched that in a long time Franco
	11:16pm Dean: One day I know we'll all be poised to discuss film in a way that includes the perspective of those us (crap, maybe only me?) who don't get it. But that day is not today. I don't like movies. That doesn't mean I hate them. (Though some I most definitely do.)
	11:16pm Little Danny: Okay, sorry all, I ejected this video. Fuck Polanski. That was unnecessary and disturbing.
	11:16pm Little Danny: I obviously hadn't watch it carefully before.
	💍 11:16pm Franco Twinkie: It holds up Matt, in all it's glorious audacity.
	11:17pm still b/p: Eye slice (of human) is Un Chien Andalou, eh?
	💍 11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Right.
	11:17pm slugluv1313: @chresti -- yeah, and OF COURSE if that was done to a real dead HUMAN, nobody would be calling it "art" same with Polanski, why did he not have these actors stone a human infant to death instead? oh gosh, i forgot, THAT would be considered "illegal"
	11:17pm Matt from New Orleans: Yes but it was a donkey eye IRL SBP
	💍 11:18pm chresti: Violence to cats crosses the line Hi slugluv!
	11:19pm still b/p: Now I won't sleep. Talk about surrealism...my girlfriend's dream the other night included a horseshoe crab named Frank that spoke with Steve Buscemi's voice. And that's just for starters.
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: Fuck that if he's hurting a donkey or a mule it's just as bad and i want nothing to do with his movies
	💍 11:20pm Franco Twinkie: Does Up Skirt cross the line?
	11:20pm Little Danny: Yeah sorry again about that all. Not cool.
	11:20pm slugluv1313: hiya chresti! yeah, violence towards any vulnerable/innocent creature (even the human ones!) is abhorrent
	11:21pm Dano59: hey gang - checking in late; it's been a helluva. couple days to say the least.
	💍 11:21pm chresti: I don't know that he actually killed the donkey.
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: ...he can just have gratuitous frilly underwear shots and we're good, but noooo he's gotta be "edgy" with violence-what a poseur
	💍 11:23pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, I'm not judging, I'm simply trying to get a grasp on the difference between camp and violation.
	11:23pm Little Danny: Completely agree, Slug. Deep sensitivity to animals since I was a kid.
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: hey Dano!
	11:23pm Little Danny: Hi Dano!
	11:24pm Dano59: hey Dean, I love movies and I definitely don't "get" some of the most Hollywood-is that type fare. ev once in a while I'll see a new theory and go "oh."
	💍 11:24pm chresti: I got in trouble once for freeing a bird that was in a trap in our neighbor's yard. I was about 5.
	11:25pm Little Danny: Oh no worries Franco. No moral lines I'm trying to make. Just deeply disturbed by any images of animals in distress or being abused here. So that Polanski was a major no-no.
	11:25pm Dano59: My son was fairly traumatized by the mule that OD'd in Bachelor Party.
	11:26pm Little Danny: Probably time to change the subject.
	11:27pm slugluv1313: @Little Danny -- no prob -- just that i find if humans were subsituted, the general public would be horrified @chresti -- yeah, from what i recall, the donkey was already dead, but still -- even before i went all vegan "crazy animal rights extremist" (hah!), dragging his dead body around like that was still so horrifying to me
	💍 11:27pm Franco Twinkie: I will refer to My Last Sigh by Luis Bunuel to get the low down on the dead donkey in the piano at the fancy party, and report back next week.
	💍 11:27pm northguineahills: I might be able to guess the next segue....
	11:28pm slugluv1313: @Little Danny -- YES! this week has already been so draining
	11:28pm Dean: Thanks, Dano59. My thing is not that I don't get some movies. It's that I truly don't get the point of cinema, of pointing a camera at something and then rearranging the takes to create some sort of rhythm or effect. Movies take from out there, where for example poems spring from in here.
	11:29pm Dano59: I have a small scholarly book on "Animals in Film" (Jonathan Burt) that might help with some of this.
	11:31pm still b/p: Tried an animal assist: Removed a mouse from a garage last week. Think it was in unexpectedly-roused stupor. Just sat shivering where I placed him on a snowpile. So I took him back to a leaf-pile and kitchen compost zone, poked a hole and set him by the hole. Was gone later, but don't know if he realized his option, that he could've gone down in there for nesting environment, some food, and some heat generated by decomposy bits.
	11:31pm Dano59: But Dean to me, movies (and momics) are almost pure art forms, able to create their own rules to tell a story or convey an experience, real or not.
	💍 11:32pm chresti: Well, I think Polansky was inspired by Bunuel. Sorry for bringing up dead animals.
	11:32pm Dano59: uh, "comics" not momics
	💍 11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, do you feel the same way about constructing a false narrative if it's called literature?
	11:33pm slugluv1313: @Dean -- FASCINATING! i mean, i DO consider film/cinema an "art form" -- so i am interested in other points of view -- for me, it seems like many films -- the ideas/visions that generate them -- DO come from within (if that makes any sense)
	11:34pm Dano59: For David Lynch, so much inspiration comes from within - his fascination with the subconscious. Plus it seems he was heavily inspired by Fellini (speaking of animals)
	💍 11:34pm chresti: <No gloves!
	11:35pm Little Danny: @NGH: what were you guessing?
	11:36pm Dano59: <probably no safety glasses either
	11:36pm Little Danny: At this point I'd be more shocked if there were gloves, chresti.
	11:37pm Little Danny: Jimi Hendrix on guitar here.
	11:37pm Dano59: this is good workshop music!
	11:38pm Little Danny: 'tis!
	11:39pm Dean: Lots of practices can create their own rules. That doesn't distinguish art from anything. "Convey an experience": that's an issue for me. I'm not sure good art "conveys" much of anything other than its material fact. (When I read poems, I see the ink on the page.) To me, literature, Franco, can be false, true, neither. As above, I don't care about the truth of the relayed information. (This is one negative reason I enjoy Mailer's novel Harlot's Ghost.) slugluv1313, yes, ideas for film come from within, but the material by definition is from out there. Filmmakers take pictures of what's out there. (Let's set aside animation or computer-generated images for the time being. I in fact love Frank Film.) They select from the universe of stuff at which they can point a camera. That isn't what a poet or novelist or even painter does.
	💍 11:39pm chresti: And, his shirt is loose. Might get caught on a table saw or grinder.
	💍 11:40pm chresti: He's "shaking hands with danger", there.
	11:41pm Little Danny: I know, Chresti, it's primed as industrial accident scare footage.
	11:41pm Dano59: Poetry, concrete or not, means to convey something ... and to get to you. I kind of feel sorry here.
	11:42pm Clifffiscal: LD...have to say I have been really enjoying your show. Going through the archives and live! thanks
	11:42pm Dano59: I can recall seeing a few of these in shop class as object lessons in what not to do.
	11:42pm Little Danny: Whoa, Clifffiscal, thank you, and thank you! And hi!
	11:44pm Dean: Before poetry can mean anything, it must be read, even if only by its author. Whether or not it "conveys" anything is secondary.
	11:44pm Clifffiscal: Hi! Good to meet you. You and Evan really put together a great 1,2 punch on Thursdays.
	11:46pm Little Danny: @Clifffiscal: Evan's show is a big inspiration for me. Delighted that you think of our shows together.
	💍 11:48pm chresti: What? Nutella?
	💍 11:49pm northguineahills: A Kiwi-Yank collab (love both artists....
	11:50pm Little Danny: Yes and yes me too NGH.
	11:50pm still b/p: Jimmy Rogers: "Nutella, Nutella..."
	11:50pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Danny. Have a good night everyone.
	💍 11:51pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, that's why lots of minimalism attempts to convey a purely esthetic reaction. No confusion about intention when you're looking at a block of polished metal. And if less evolved folks can't grasp the nuance of intent there, fuck um.
	💍 11:51pm chresti: Good night, Matt.
	11:51pm Dano59: the thing I love about CBF is, it suits my attention span. I can have it on as background until the inevitable thing (several things) perk my ears up.
	11:52pm Little Danny: Thanks Dano59. I'm glad to hear that. I strive for that kind of listening, honestly.
	11:53pm Dano59: Though there's a lot to say for radio that takes over your mind too
	11:53pm Dano59: So many girl groups, so little time ...
	💍 11:55pm northguineahills: Merry Jueves, LD y amigos!
	11:56pm still b/p: Thank you, Danny. Dream crazy, everybody.
	💍 11:57pm Franco Twinkie: In the morning, then.
	11:57pm Dean: Rothko and Donald Judd piss off a whole buncha people, for sure, Franco. Whether or not one enjoys (appreciates, whatever) their work is independent of what the nose-in-the-air pricks who know better deem the appropriate response. I would suggest that minimalists like these guys precisely do not want to "convey" anything. That is, in fact, much of the point! Goddammit, I sure would love, just once, to have a "purely esthetic reaction."
	💍 11:58pm WR: thank you Danny. Onward y'all.
	💍 11:59pm chresti: Thanks Danny! Top notch evening of sights and sounds! Good night everyone.
	💍 11:59pm Franco Twinkie: Leave your gloves on Dean, we're not finished.
	11:59pm ARB: Thanks LD, see you bright and early!
	11:59pm Dano59: not a fan of "the appropriate response" tastemakers myself, D.
	11:59pm Dean: Ain't a fight. Or shouldn't be.
	12:00am Dano59: thx LD!
	12:01am coelacanth∅: pickleback, anyone?
	💍 12:01am Franco Twinkie: Dean, I like to argue, humor me.
	💍 12:01am chresti: Dean, you probably do, just not in the usual places.
	12:01am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny! take care y'all
	12:01am Little Danny: Love all of you! See y'all around!
	12:36am slugluv1313: heya Little Danny, FANTASTIC show -- thanks so very very much!

Listener comments!
	9:53pm Little Danny: Hi beauties.
	9:56pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi Danny
	10:00pm Flash Strap: Hi LD, matt!
	10:01pm Little Danny: Hi youse guys!
	10:01pm Little Danny: The photography in this first film is excellent btw.
	💍 10:01pm WR: hello folks. LD, play me some dishwasher tunes, thanks.
	💍 10:01pm chresti: Hi Little Danny and flambos! Getting situated at the kitchen table..
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: hello Danny and all
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: i need a god-damned drink, 'this church have a bar?
	10:04pm Little Danny: All I can offer you is this ol' bottle of turpentine, Coela. Skol!
	10:04pm Little Danny: WR, chresti, coela: I forgot to welcome you properly. Come in, come in.
	10:05pm TDK60: Evening LD.
	10:06pm still b/p: 'Ey, compudahs, huh? Crazy. They can make a car, bim, beep, whiz, done. But can they make me set of shelves, hah? A friend gave me a fat bottle of Quiet Man Irish whiskey yesterday, coel, and it'll be around here a long time if I don't share often and generously.
	10:06pm coelacanth: i'll have that then. and a chalice of chipped china for a chaser, if you got that
	10:06pm Matt from New Orleans: Not bad for a nepotism record 😜
	💍 10:07pm Franco Twinkie: Danny! Moments ago I found my knit hat that was featured in a Russian movie on the Flame-O-Scope sometime last year. I saw a corner of it peaking out from behind a chair. I'd like to do a positive I.D. but I can't remember what was the date of that particular movie.
	10:08pm coelacanth∅: s b/p named after a movie?
	💍 10:09pm Aitch: Snazzy
	10:09pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m just jesting Danny. I enjoyed the Light in the Attic comp that collected Packy Axton’s recordings.
	10:09pm Little Danny: TDK, still b/p, Franco, Aitch! Evenin' mornin' afternoon' it doesn't matter. You'll never need to leave this casino again.
	💍 10:09pm chresti: The vw factory, maybe.
	10:10pm Little Danny: Hi Franco, I remember! I'll see if I can find a YouTube link for you. I want this circle to complete itself.
	10:10pm still b/p: The maker claims it's named after his own Da, a bartender for 50 years, "true to the code and told no tales." But, c'mon, who's gonna see that name and not think he's trying to get the film-associative attention?
	10:11pm slugluv1313: hiya Little Danny, everyone! mostly in lurk/work mode, loving the soundtrack :)
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: one of the many vw models or sub-models that never made it here
	💍 10:11pm chresti: John Wayne wanna-be
	10:12pm Little Danny: Hi Slug! Glad to have you here in any capacity!
	💍 10:12pm chresti: It's shaped like a mercedes.
	10:13pm Little Danny: The VWs made available to the Brazilian and Mexican markets were so nice.
	💍 10:13pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Danny. I was already to go back and read all the comments to try and find it.
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: well still i thought that and i know diddly about movies! ...i'd try it though.
	10:14pm Little Danny: www.roadandtrack.com...
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: hi slugluv!
	10:14pm ARB: Hi Danny!
	10:15pm Dean: All cars are the same. That people miss this amazes me.
	10:15pm Little Danny: ARB! Look I made this show for your birthday.
	10:15pm Little Danny: Classic Dean entrance.
	10:16pm ARB: Thank you, a perfect present!
	💍 10:16pm Franco Twinkie: Dean you are such a fucking trouble maker.
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: "grrr who's ready for an argument?!"
	10:16pm ARB: You gave me a present last week also with the AC Ducey rec, I found a cheap copy
	10:16pm Matt from New Orleans: Danny I’m struggling right now as a I sort of agree with Dean
	💍 10:17pm chresti: Dean, haha.
	10:17pm still b/p: They could have tried naming the whiskey "Marykate's Fortune" or "Danaher's Fist," but, what the hell, go for the bigger "coincidental" bait. Local pub is called Bull Feeny's, named for Quiet Man director John Ford, who started his life around here. Got us a statue, too.
	10:18pm Little Danny: Ugh, sorry, keep forgetting to update the playlist.
	💍 10:18pm Franco Twinkie: Any way. That VW is such a strange hybrid. Kind of like an Avanti crossed with a Volvo P1800. Coel, you want to weigh in?
	10:18pm coelacanth∅: it's true, all cars are the same. just as all pasta dishes are the same. i mean, they all have pasta, so they're all the same! what is wrong with people that they can't see this?
	💍 10:19pm chresti: Cars are the same and cannabis doesn't have any effect.
	💍 10:19pm Franco Twinkie: Ignore him Coel. He just wants to make us mad.
	10:20pm still b/p: All songs are the same. I can't tell if this one is Iron Man or not.
	10:20pm Little Danny: static.wikia.nocookie.net...
	10:20pm coelacanth∅: he can't! Dean, just assimilate already.
	💍 10:20pm chresti: Haha still b/p.
	💍 10:22pm chresti: Haha coel @10:18
	10:23pm coelacanth∅: Franco i wasn't paying much attention and now i wish i was. but i just got home a few minutes ago to a very cold house and i'm typing and listening and doing other things and only glanced at the movie
	10:23pm Dean: Thank you, chresti, for recalling my other campaign. (I don't believe it doesn't have an effect. I believe the effect is largely placebo.) Franco, that's beautiful. I am 100% positive that you know that I am the opposite of a trouble maker. Anyway, I've spent today listening to Frank Zappa. I don't much like Frank Zappa. But somehow I needed to wade in the muck that is his oeuvre. You know, songs about Palmdale.
	10:25pm Little Danny: Korla as fuck.
	10:25pm Little Danny: Maya + Korla
	💍 10:26pm chresti: Perfecto, LD.
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: who's Maya? (who's your Maya?)
	10:27pm Little Danny: Maya Deren, the present filmmaker and actor.
	💍 10:28pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, that song about Palmdale was recorded at the Roxy in 1973. Kid Congo and I were sitting right in the front row. We could read what the monsters were saying that were painted on Franks shoes.
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: the babe crawling around? <
	💍 10:28pm Aitch: Cannabis and cars is a match made in heaven
	10:29pm TDK60: Maya Deren doesn't hurt my eyes.
	10:29pm doctorjazz: Hey Danny and all!
	10:29pm Little Danny: Hi doc!
	💍 10:29pm Franco Twinkie: Cave woman, yes!
	10:30pm still b/p: Do NOT look directly into Korla's eyes or his turban jewel if you watch a video.
	10:31pm Little Danny: Man I really wish I had some Korla in queue. Dang.
	10:31pm Little Danny: Korla video that is.
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: hey dr.j!
	10:33pm doctorjazz: Hey, Coel!
	10:35pm Dean: Damn, Franco, wish I'd been there, too.
	💍 10:35pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, one of my new years resolutions is to name drop only one time a show. I'll have to save my Korla Pandit story for off line.
	10:38pm Matt from New Orleans: I guess Mr Fine Wine inspired you to play that last one again
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: here are 2 vws we never saw in the states: external-content.duckduckgo.com... otomobilarsiv.com...
	10:39pm still b/p: Friend of mine -- the whiskey gifter -- told me yesterday he was at the Cocker show when Mad Dog and Englishmen was recorded. I got only second tier show stories, if that.
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: (that i wish i had)
	10:40pm slugluv1313: awwwww MARU! and pal <3 <3 <3 yup just checked in on the Flame-O-Scope :)
	💍 10:40pm chresti: I don't remember a lot of the shows I went to.
	💍 10:40pm Franco Twinkie: I would kill for that purple one!
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: legendary, still! ...i don't know if i've ever been at a show that was issued legitimately maybe a punk band
	10:41pm slugluv1313: hiya coela!
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: Franco right? the red one's interesting but not too pretty
	💍 10:44pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah, the face on that red one kind of looks like one of those boat cars that you'd see in Mechanics Illustrated.
	💍 10:46pm Franco Twinkie: We will be there Danny!
	10:47pm ARB: We will be there too!
	💍 10:48pm Franco Twinkie: Alina, what did you do on your birthday?
	10:48pm Little Danny: @slug: Glad you caught Maru. He makes a cameo pretty much every show!
	💍 10:48pm chresti: I had a teacher that interned with the Eames. ARB is correct, we will be there, LD.
	10:48pm Dean: Cripes, I haven't spoken with Jan in ages.
	10:49pm Little Danny: ❤️❤️❤️
	10:51pm Little Danny: That was the most California video.
	10:51pm Little Danny: This guy has a message for you, Dean.
	10:52pm slugluv1313: @Little Danny -- he is just so freaking CUTE and he knows it, hah! but yes -- SO WONDERFUL to see MARU when i was taking a break :)
	💍 10:52pm chresti: I somehow missed a fieldtrip to the Eames house.
	💍 10:52pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, these cars are ugly.
	10:53pm slugluv1313: @Franco -- ugly AND awful colors!
	💍 10:53pm chresti: Puke color cars.
	10:53pm still b/p: Yes, 80s tide of automotive ugliness.
	10:54pm Little Danny: Shitboxes of the boxiest order.
	10:54pm Dean: I only just realized that you all are referring to the video. He's now trying to distinguish one car from another. It's his very effort that confirms to me my hypothesis.
	💍 10:55pm Franco Twinkie: Slug, yup, and for the most part, mechanically inferior.
	💍 10:55pm chresti: Haha K cars. Compact cars were the vogue after the gas shortage.
	💍 10:56pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, what do you drive? No judgement, but I need to know.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: Dean haha
	10:56pm still b/p: The 80s! Come for the off-putting colors, but stay for the unreliability!
	10:57pm Little Danny: I was gonna ask the same thing, Franco. I'm hoping for a three-wheeled trike of some sort.
	💍 10:57pm Ignore Function: Great show, LD. That Leighton Craig track really piqued my curiosity.
	10:58pm Dean: Nissan Versa, 2015, total piece of shit. Nevertheless, I know that Porsches are glorified Volkswagens.
	10:58pm ARB: Franco, we hiked in the Santa Monicas and took a Swan Boat ride in Echo Park Lake
	10:59pm Matt from New Orleans: When was your birthday ARB? Mine was Monday.
	11:00pm ARB: Matt, mine was Tuesday, Happy Birthday!
	💍 11:00pm chresti: We had a used 1980 vw rabbit diesel, it got 50 mpg.
	11:00pm Matt from New Orleans: Same to you
	11:00pm Little Danny: Thanks Ignore F! Not all of Craig's stuff is that dissonant, but I dig it all. His duo Primitive Motion is a similar-ish and a fave of mine as well.
	11:01pm Dean: For me, the very act of getting into the car is a trial. As is, for that matter, watching Astaire. Have to pause the video.
	💍 11:01pm Franco Twinkie: Nice! I love the boats in that lake, especially when the water lilies are blooming.
	💍 11:01pm chresti: Happy birthday Matt and ARB!
	11:01pm Matt from New Orleans: Danny in case you were curious I don’t own a car
	11:02pm Dean: I had a VW pick-up, diesel, many years ago. Lost it when a fucking nun t-boned me at an intersection. Mileage wasn't that great.
	11:02pm Little Danny: Happy b-days y'all
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: happy post-birthday ARB! i like yer new hairdo!
	11:04pm Little Danny: @Dean: If you're as romantic as I'm imagining you later married that nun. Meet cute!
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: happy post-birthday Matt!
	11:05pm ARB: Thank you Chresti! Coela! Little Danny!
	11:05pm ARB: '85 4wd Honda Civic here
	11:06pm Little Danny: I love that model, ARB. The station wagon, right?
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: yeah that car rocks
	💍 11:06pm northguineahills: LD, take us home....
	11:07pm Little Danny: Hey hey NGH we're still ascending!
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: the old vw pickups were pretty cool too, until they turned to dust
	💍 11:07pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, what does Thelma Ritter say about Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits? Men wreck into her just to start a conversation? Oh I forgot, you hate all movies! Never mind.
	💍 11:08pm chresti: Polanski
	11:09pm Little Danny: Yeah, Polański. Ambivalence here about whether to stream this or not, but it was just ludicrous enough.
	11:10pm slugluv1313: aghhhhhh Two Men and A Wardrobe -- horrible, that poor kitten
	11:10pm Dean: Didn't marry her, nor did I marry the truck driver who drifted into me on the freeway causing me to spin around on the freeway. Weirdly, the thought never crossed my mind. I don't "hate all moves." Jesus, folks, this is precisely how we get the fake news we like to bitch about. I simply don't enjoy the visuals and, furthermore, I can't regard cinema as an art. Or I have a very hard time doing so.
	11:11pm still b/p: Late note: Iconic house built same period as Eames house was Farnsworth House, by Mies Van Der Rohe. Check the story -- you'll come for the modernism and juicy gossip but stay for the lawsuits, failures and insults.
	11:11pm Matt from New Orleans: Dean you’re making me regret ever admitting to have any level of agreement with you
	11:12pm Dean: Matt, your saying I should have married the truck driver?
	11:13pm Dean: OFFS: you're
	💍 11:13pm Franco Twinkie: What, I can't make a sweeping statement? Dean, you have stated more than once what low regard you have for movies.
	11:13pm Matt from New Orleans: Not at all. I just completely disagree with your commentary on film.
	11:13pm Little Danny: Well Dean I love you and love roasting you because you're so sweeping sometimes.
	💍 11:13pm chresti: Did Bunuel have a movie where a dead mule gets drug around?
	💍 11:14pm Franco Twinkie: L'age de Ore.
	11:14pm coelacanth∅: well what was she like, the truck driver?
	11:14pm coelacanth∅: (besides inattentive)
	💍 11:15pm chresti: Ah, thanks Franco.
	11:15pm Matt from New Orleans: I just recall a donkey eye getting sliced Chresti but I’ll think about it more
	11:15pm Matt from New Orleans: I haven’t watched that in a long time Franco
	11:16pm Dean: One day I know we'll all be poised to discuss film in a way that includes the perspective of those us (crap, maybe only me?) who don't get it. But that day is not today. I don't like movies. That doesn't mean I hate them. (Though some I most definitely do.)
	11:16pm Little Danny: Okay, sorry all, I ejected this video. Fuck Polanski. That was unnecessary and disturbing.
	11:16pm Little Danny: I obviously hadn't watch it carefully before.
	💍 11:16pm Franco Twinkie: It holds up Matt, in all it's glorious audacity.
	11:17pm still b/p: Eye slice (of human) is Un Chien Andalou, eh?
	💍 11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Right.
	11:17pm slugluv1313: @chresti -- yeah, and OF COURSE if that was done to a real dead HUMAN, nobody would be calling it "art" same with Polanski, why did he not have these actors stone a human infant to death instead? oh gosh, i forgot, THAT would be considered "illegal"
	11:17pm Matt from New Orleans: Yes but it was a donkey eye IRL SBP
	💍 11:18pm chresti: Violence to cats crosses the line Hi slugluv!
	11:19pm still b/p: Now I won't sleep. Talk about surrealism...my girlfriend's dream the other night included a horseshoe crab named Frank that spoke with Steve Buscemi's voice. And that's just for starters.
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: Fuck that if he's hurting a donkey or a mule it's just as bad and i want nothing to do with his movies
	💍 11:20pm Franco Twinkie: Does Up Skirt cross the line?
	11:20pm Little Danny: Yeah sorry again about that all. Not cool.
	11:20pm slugluv1313: hiya chresti! yeah, violence towards any vulnerable/innocent creature (even the human ones!) is abhorrent
	11:21pm Dano59: hey gang - checking in late; it's been a helluva. couple days to say the least.
	💍 11:21pm chresti: I don't know that he actually killed the donkey.
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: ...he can just have gratuitous frilly underwear shots and we're good, but noooo he's gotta be "edgy" with violence-what a poseur
	💍 11:23pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, I'm not judging, I'm simply trying to get a grasp on the difference between camp and violation.
	11:23pm Little Danny: Completely agree, Slug. Deep sensitivity to animals since I was a kid.
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: hey Dano!
	11:23pm Little Danny: Hi Dano!
	11:24pm Dano59: hey Dean, I love movies and I definitely don't "get" some of the most Hollywood-is that type fare. ev once in a while I'll see a new theory and go "oh."
	💍 11:24pm chresti: I got in trouble once for freeing a bird that was in a trap in our neighbor's yard. I was about 5.
	11:25pm Little Danny: Oh no worries Franco. No moral lines I'm trying to make. Just deeply disturbed by any images of animals in distress or being abused here. So that Polanski was a major no-no.
	11:25pm Dano59: My son was fairly traumatized by the mule that OD'd in Bachelor Party.
	11:26pm Little Danny: Probably time to change the subject.
	11:27pm slugluv1313: @Little Danny -- no prob -- just that i find if humans were subsituted, the general public would be horrified @chresti -- yeah, from what i recall, the donkey was already dead, but still -- even before i went all vegan "crazy animal rights extremist" (hah!), dragging his dead body around like that was still so horrifying to me
	💍 11:27pm Franco Twinkie: I will refer to My Last Sigh by Luis Bunuel to get the low down on the dead donkey in the piano at the fancy party, and report back next week.
	💍 11:27pm northguineahills: I might be able to guess the next segue....
	11:28pm slugluv1313: @Little Danny -- YES! this week has already been so draining
	11:28pm Dean: Thanks, Dano59. My thing is not that I don't get some movies. It's that I truly don't get the point of cinema, of pointing a camera at something and then rearranging the takes to create some sort of rhythm or effect. Movies take from out there, where for example poems spring from in here.
	11:29pm Dano59: I have a small scholarly book on "Animals in Film" (Jonathan Burt) that might help with some of this.
	11:31pm still b/p: Tried an animal assist: Removed a mouse from a garage last week. Think it was in unexpectedly-roused stupor. Just sat shivering where I placed him on a snowpile. So I took him back to a leaf-pile and kitchen compost zone, poked a hole and set him by the hole. Was gone later, but don't know if he realized his option, that he could've gone down in there for nesting environment, some food, and some heat generated by decomposy bits.
	11:31pm Dano59: But Dean to me, movies (and momics) are almost pure art forms, able to create their own rules to tell a story or convey an experience, real or not.
	💍 11:32pm chresti: Well, I think Polansky was inspired by Bunuel. Sorry for bringing up dead animals.
	11:32pm Dano59: uh, "comics" not momics
	💍 11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, do you feel the same way about constructing a false narrative if it's called literature?
	11:33pm slugluv1313: @Dean -- FASCINATING! i mean, i DO consider film/cinema an "art form" -- so i am interested in other points of view -- for me, it seems like many films -- the ideas/visions that generate them -- DO come from within (if that makes any sense)
	11:34pm Dano59: For David Lynch, so much inspiration comes from within - his fascination with the subconscious. Plus it seems he was heavily inspired by Fellini (speaking of animals)
	💍 11:34pm chresti: <No gloves!
	11:35pm Little Danny: @NGH: what were you guessing?
	11:36pm Dano59: <probably no safety glasses either
	11:36pm Little Danny: At this point I'd be more shocked if there were gloves, chresti.
	11:37pm Little Danny: Jimi Hendrix on guitar here.
	11:37pm Dano59: this is good workshop music!
	11:38pm Little Danny: 'tis!
	11:39pm Dean: Lots of practices can create their own rules. That doesn't distinguish art from anything. "Convey an experience": that's an issue for me. I'm not sure good art "conveys" much of anything other than its material fact. (When I read poems, I see the ink on the page.) To me, literature, Franco, can be false, true, neither. As above, I don't care about the truth of the relayed information. (This is one negative reason I enjoy Mailer's novel Harlot's Ghost.) slugluv1313, yes, ideas for film come from within, but the material by definition is from out there. Filmmakers take pictures of what's out there. (Let's set aside animation or computer-generated images for the time being. I in fact love Frank Film.) They select from the universe of stuff at which they can point a camera. That isn't what a poet or novelist or even painter does.
	💍 11:39pm chresti: And, his shirt is loose. Might get caught on a table saw or grinder.
	💍 11:40pm chresti: He's "shaking hands with danger", there.
	11:41pm Little Danny: I know, Chresti, it's primed as industrial accident scare footage.
	11:41pm Dano59: Poetry, concrete or not, means to convey something ... and to get to you. I kind of feel sorry here.
	11:42pm Clifffiscal: LD...have to say I have been really enjoying your show. Going through the archives and live! thanks
	11:42pm Dano59: I can recall seeing a few of these in shop class as object lessons in what not to do.
	11:42pm Little Danny: Whoa, Clifffiscal, thank you, and thank you! And hi!
	11:44pm Dean: Before poetry can mean anything, it must be read, even if only by its author. Whether or not it "conveys" anything is secondary.
	11:44pm Clifffiscal: Hi! Good to meet you. You and Evan really put together a great 1,2 punch on Thursdays.
	11:46pm Little Danny: @Clifffiscal: Evan's show is a big inspiration for me. Delighted that you think of our shows together.
	💍 11:48pm chresti: What? Nutella?
	💍 11:49pm northguineahills: A Kiwi-Yank collab (love both artists....
	11:50pm Little Danny: Yes and yes me too NGH.
	11:50pm still b/p: Jimmy Rogers: "Nutella, Nutella..."
	11:50pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Danny. Have a good night everyone.
	💍 11:51pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, that's why lots of minimalism attempts to convey a purely esthetic reaction. No confusion about intention when you're looking at a block of polished metal. And if less evolved folks can't grasp the nuance of intent there, fuck um.
	💍 11:51pm chresti: Good night, Matt.
	11:51pm Dano59: the thing I love about CBF is, it suits my attention span. I can have it on as background until the inevitable thing (several things) perk my ears up.
	11:52pm Little Danny: Thanks Dano59. I'm glad to hear that. I strive for that kind of listening, honestly.
	11:53pm Dano59: Though there's a lot to say for radio that takes over your mind too
	11:53pm Dano59: So many girl groups, so little time ...
	💍 11:55pm northguineahills: Merry Jueves, LD y amigos!
	11:56pm still b/p: Thank you, Danny. Dream crazy, everybody.
	💍 11:57pm Franco Twinkie: In the morning, then.
	11:57pm Dean: Rothko and Donald Judd piss off a whole buncha people, for sure, Franco. Whether or not one enjoys (appreciates, whatever) their work is independent of what the nose-in-the-air pricks who know better deem the appropriate response. I would suggest that minimalists like these guys precisely do not want to "convey" anything. That is, in fact, much of the point! Goddammit, I sure would love, just once, to have a "purely esthetic reaction."
	💍 11:58pm WR: thank you Danny. Onward y'all.
	💍 11:59pm chresti: Thanks Danny! Top notch evening of sights and sounds! Good night everyone.
	💍 11:59pm Franco Twinkie: Leave your gloves on Dean, we're not finished.
	11:59pm ARB: Thanks LD, see you bright and early!
	11:59pm Dano59: not a fan of "the appropriate response" tastemakers myself, D.
	11:59pm Dean: Ain't a fight. Or shouldn't be.
	12:00am Dano59: thx LD!
	12:01am coelacanth∅: pickleback, anyone?
	💍 12:01am Franco Twinkie: Dean, I like to argue, humor me.
	💍 12:01am chresti: Dean, you probably do, just not in the usual places.
	12:01am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny! take care y'all
	12:01am Little Danny: Love all of you! See y'all around!
	12:36am slugluv1313: heya Little Danny, FANTASTIC show -- thanks so very very much!
