	7:03pm chresti: And TDK60 said something about rebetiko.
	7:03pm chresti: Hi Lambda!
	7:04pm northguineahills: geia sas fíloi!
	♥ 7:04pm Gary: Howdy, Howdy, Do, Do TDK and Dr. Jazz and NGH!
	7:04pm TDK60: I found an album in the basement.
	7:05pm zzzm: "Hellenes" means Greek stuff?
	♥ 7:05pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Gary! Greek specialties in the Bodega tonight! I live across the street from a Greek restaurant.
	7:05pm zzzm: ok
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: Welcome, Welcome Zzzm and Henry!
	7:06pm northguineahills: Where are all the Panthonikos fans at !(oh, wait, we weren't talking about football). Hellenes is Greek for Greece.
	♥ 7:06pm Webhamster Henry: Hellenes, from "Ελλάδα"
	7:07pm Dean: Just this morning a buddy turned me on to this: https://mississippirecords.bandcamp.com/album/all-parts-dark
	7:07pm TDK60: It's Greek to me but the music's got a beat and those dancers don't hurt my eyes, so...
	7:07pm david w: Hello Gary! I think you hit a vein!
	♥ 7:07pm Gary: Evening, Evening Dean and David!
	7:08pm zzzm: I was in east Greece two years ago (Thessaloniki ). I had an impression 50%+ were from Egypt there.
	7:09pm Dean: Got a dose of Greek genes myself, but never been there. In any event, I'm moving to Cyprus as soon as I can.
	♥ 7:10pm Gary: I want my next trip to be to Egypt, but we'll see
	7:11pm zzzm: There were large tourists from Cyprus there too.
	♥ 7:12pm doctorjazz: Great set!
	♥ 7:13pm doctorjazz: If we can ever travel again, I'll head to Africa (had a trip planned that got shot to hell by the pandemic).
	7:14pm northguineahills: If it wasn't for math, I wouldn't be able to read Greek....
	♥ 7:14pm Gary: Where in Africa, Doctor J?
	7:16pm zzzm: oh if all goes well, I am planning Serbia ~ Albaniia in summer.
	7:18pm Dean: I studied Attic Greek on my own using Hansen & Quinn's marvelous "intensive" course many years ago. Trouble is there aren't a lot of places to meet other speakers of Attic Greek to practice.
	♥ 7:19pm Gary: I have come to debase the Koine
	7:20pm TDK60: This P. Rizos is fun.
	♥ 7:21pm Gary: Always a pleasure when new music not suck
	7:21pm Dean: Attic precedes Koine, yes? The latter is "Biblical"?
	♥ 7:22pm Gary: Yes
	7:22pm chresti: Not many people have attics to study in, Dean.
	7:24pm zzzm: Greece was so rich I had no time exploring pop culture at my short stay. I didn't know they had such great stuff too!
	7:24pm TDK60: That is good solid WFMU stuff. We need it. Somebody tape it..
	7:25pm Dean: I bet there are lots of orthopaedic surgeons who have no spine, either, chresti.
	7:26pm Dean: For those of you who don't speak Greek, "fuck" (which Gary just uttered" means "fuck."
	7:26pm chresti: What does that have to do with studying Greek in the attic?
	7:27pm Dean: If you need an attic to study Attic, you need a spine to study spines...?
	♥ 7:27pm Gary: Home taping killed the radio star
	7:28pm chresti: If you say so.
	♥ 7:28pm Gary: in the attic with the candlestick
	7:29pm northguineahills: @Dean: You need Obama's time machine to go back to ancient Athens....
	7:31pm northguineahills: For a real challenge, try Pontic Greek (I don't speak Greek, outside of what I know from science, so it's all a challenge).
	7:33pm Dean: I don't particularly get the time machine reference, but I'm happy to read about it. Time--or any--travel isn't my bag.
	7:34pm TDK60: Gary, you ever played Kristi Stassinopoulou? Greek psych singer; I have one album.
	7:34pm Dean: Pontic? Wow, that's amazing. Judging from OED, it's a rich concept.
	7:36pm northguineahills: @Dean: it's a meme from referencing GOPers that blame stuff on Obama even from before he was in power. (he also had a weather machine, apparently, and caused Katrina).
	♥ 7:37pm doctorjazz: Kenya, Rwanda, was the trip, a Gary.
	7:37pm chresti: I've never been to Greece, I've heard it's hot there.
	7:37pm Dean: Ah, got it. Yes, I'm aware of that "meme," though I try mightily to avoid all of them. (In truth, though, Obama deserves a lot of blame.) I had no idea that Nana Mouskouri was still around, doing her thing.
	7:37pm still b/p: A young woman I know called me at work several years ago to settle an argument with a friend of hers, who claimed modern Greeks didn't speak ...Greek, that it was only an ancient language.
	♥ 7:37pm Gary: Oh wow, that sounds like it would be amazing
	♥ 7:38pm Gary: ^meant for Dr J
	7:39pm zzzm: right, but some reason i've connected Nana Mouskouri french venue
	7:39pm Dean: I read chresti @7:37 only after reading still b/p @7:37, and so I at first saw "I've heard it's not there." Most Greeks speak Pig Latin and Esperanto these days.
	♥ 7:40pm Gary: Still B/P!
	7:40pm chresti: Haha Dean.
	7:40pm still b/p: Ello-hay!
	7:41pm zzzm: honestly didn't now straight out greek western pop. i've heard them were playing odd meter songs
	♥ 7:41pm Gary: Haha, b/p
	7:42pm Dean: Aha-hay!
	7:44pm Dean: Er, that should be Stou Filopappou...
	7:44pm chresti: Nana Mouskouri is/was big in France.
	7:47pm Dean: Everybody needs to hear this, uh, rendition of ancient Greek music by Gregorio Paniagua and troupe: https://www.discogs.com/Atrium-Musicae-De-Madrid-Gregorio-Paniagua-Musique-De-La-Gr%C3%A8ce-Antique/master/211984 Includes a bursting Cognac bottle and a lawnmower.
	7:49pm still b/p: Socrates, Aristotle, et al:"Mow thyself."
	♥ 7:52pm Gary: And here I thought the first cut was the deepest
	7:55pm Dean: One of my favorite Greek words, other than the dirty ones my mom taught be, having learned them from her father, is σωρείτης.
	♥ 7:57pm Gary: Those clouds are a sight for σωρείτης, Dean
	7:58pm Dean: But when are they no longer clouds?
	7:58pm headcleaner: quite a wholesome and educational program thus far, Gary
	8:01pm chresti: A lot of big hair in those days.
	♥ 8:03pm Gary: Headcleaner!
	♥ 8:05pm Gary: Laika is the word I was looking for
	8:05pm Dean: Used to be a terrific Greek festival in LA on Pico Blvd. at the big-ass (that's Greek) cathedral across the street from Papa Cristo's. Suddenly got a hankering... https://papacristos.com/
	8:09pm Pie: Hi tuning in my from the app tonight. Reading but a funny “I would like to solve the puzzle. The dog says woof and the cow says moo”
	♥ 8:10pm Gary: Hi, Hi Pie!
	8:12pm TDK60: Gary, have you heard that NYC public station with a Greek show, WNYE?
	8:13pm Pie: Hello to you also Gary and any other listeners whom I have known and horses around with. Thanks for the nice tunes Gary it’s nice reading music..
	♥ 8:14pm Gary: I have, but I somehow didn't know about the Greek show
	8:17pm TDK60: Yeah they're pretty prominent on there; called "Cosmos FM" I think. NYE also has a caylpso show, other ethnic shows, educational shows.
	♥ 8:18pm Gary: There's actually a Greek radio station in this neighborhood, although I haven't heard it. But I've walked past the building. Not sure if it's on air or internet only
	8:24pm tim abdellah: Καλό απόγευμα, y'all
	♥ 8:25pm Gary: Halo, Halo Tim!
	8:25pm chresti: Hello pie and tim.
	8:31pm tim abdellah: Hiya Chresti
	8:35pm zzzm: the first cab driver from Greece airport to hotel graduated from Queens College!
	8:36pm TDK60: I was watching the ceremony, bits now and then, also following the wild show run by the manager of this station, and instant news articles, and trying to chew gum. Busy day.
	♥ 8:36pm Webhamster Henry: I was listening to Ken and C-Span simultaneously.
	8:39pm tim abdellah: Thx Gary :)
	8:41pm tim abdellah: I have never heard Greek hip-hop - this is pretty awesome!
	8:41pm headcleaner: what sound or letter were you having trouble with again, Gary? Was it χ or some other?
	8:41pm chresti: I glanced at news bits about the ceremony at work. Listened to some to the wild shows, also.
	♥ 8:42pm Gary: Headcleaner, it is all of it, but the isolated H? Maybe most?
	8:42pm tim abdellah: Last night I watched a French documentary called "The End of The Ottoman Empire". It had never entered my consciousness before that Greece was part of the Ottoman Empire.
	8:43pm TDK60: Chresti, that Ken "Staysh" as Clay calls him, he's wacky.
	♥ 8:43pm Gary: Empires' gonna empire
	8:44pm still b/p: I hauled a wee portable tube TV, an antenna and digital-to-analog converter for it, to where I was doing some work today, in case something crazy developed.
	8:46pm Pie: Hell yea!
	8:48pm northguineahills: I don't know any of the names of my Greek records, just the first few letters to put them in alphabetical order......
	8:48pm chresti: On my way home I heard a blow by blow account of when the Bidens got out of the car and walked the rest of the way. I winced a little then.
	8:48pm northguineahills: (same w/ anything Cyrillic).
	8:49pm headcleaner: @gary - I just didn't quite get your description of it on-air - "glicchial h agaf" was what my ears heard, but I'm having trouble mapping that to any phonological terms I know
	♥ 8:50pm Gary: My mom was FREAKED the FUCK OUT when they were walking over (b/c she was worried something would happen)
	8:51pm TDK60: I had a question no one could answer then - does the Marine Band do any Dylan? I think I heard J. Lo do a medley that included Woody Guthrie's Ths Land Is Your Land.
	8:54pm Pie: Brooklyners- I read in an emerging technologies book that areas of Brooklyn trade solar energy That concept is brilliant; the sharing economy and gig economy and such hasn’t really taken off too much in Minneapolis. Really cool concepts though. Im somewhat anti 9-5 which I certainly don’t oppose (and is changing because of current circumstances of the past year). I just don’t like the rigid image of “working stiff and fighting days” it is fighting reality essentially. But cheers to keeping progress progressive.
	8:54pm headcleaner: @tim abdellah - it may blow your mind even more to learn (as I did only a few years ago) that (for quite a long time) the pan-Hellenic "empire" (or sphere of influence) was much, much larger than modern Greece is today - spanning basically all of the coastal areas of the black sea, much of modern Turkey, off into Iran and central Asia
	8:54pm northguineahills: @tim: See also the former Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, and parts of Hungary. Before the demise of the Ottoman Empire, there were millions of ethnic Greeks in Anatolia (mostly along the Med coast and the Black Sea.
	8:55pm northguineahills: Also, the Ottoman Empire started mostly as a Balkan empire w/ some Anatolian territories before it took defeated Constantinople.
	8:56pm Dean: Fortunately, the Ottoman Emporium had a huge close-out sale.
	8:56pm northguineahills: headcleaner jinxed me...
	♥ 8:56pm Webhamster Henry: I used to have some great records of Anatolian Greek music.
	8:57pm still b/p: "Alright now, for all you boppers out there in the big city."
	8:57pm headcleaner: @gary - anyway I definitely get your broader point about there being "something about" Greek that makes it hard to place (to our wilted Anglophone ears) - and in any case I just love the sound of it (especially when spoken softly)
	8:57pm northguineahills: @Webhanster Henry: I have one.
	♥ 8:58pm Gary: @B/P best close-up of a mouth I can think of
	8:59pm chresti: I need another ottoman, they're great.
	9:00pm northguineahills: Thessalonica and Sofia used to be Turk-majority cities....(until 1920) (the disasterous population exchange that killed Turks and Greeks alike (see the Hind/Muslim exchange in Pakistan and India in 1947 as a more recent comparison).
	9:01pm tim abdellah: @headcleaner and @ngh - I got some sense of that in the documentary, which did a pretty good job unpacking the emergence of ethno-nationlism in the 19th century - bringing in economic and political contexts, and not reducing it to religious and cultural differences.
	9:02pm headcleaner: on other topics, Gary - ever heard of Killah P - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlos_Fyssas ? From some searches I did recently, it seems that no one has played him yet
	♥ 9:03pm Webhamster Henry: I was just reading in Wikipedia about the resurgence and recognition of Classical Greek Religion (Hellenism) en.wikipedia.org...
	9:04pm TDK60: Oh yeah headcleaner, that was the rapper murdered by fascists. 5 years ago?
	9:04pm headcleaner: @TDK60 - yep
	9:05pm still b/p: Saw part of the Rise of Empires: Ottoman, a couple weeks ago -- combination of doc and dramatizations telling story of conquest of Constantinople, but, man, the actual siege took less time then the program. We didn't hang on to see all of how, you know, Constantinople got the works.
	♥ 9:05pm Webhamster Henry: I'm interested because I'm an obsessive fan of the Webtoon Lore Olympus. www.webtoons.com...
	9:06pm chresti: TDK60, I think the Marine Band does "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam
	9:07pm TDK60: hee chrest!
	9:10pm TDK60: I recall the announcer saying the Marine Band uniforms are specially tailored without epaulets in order to let the violinists rest their violins better. You needed to know this.
	♥ 9:10pm Gary: @Headcleaner, I hadn't heard of him, I don't think, no ... thanks for the tip!
	9:11pm coelacanth∅: hey Gary and all
	♥ 9:12pm Gary: coelacanth∅!
	9:14pm Dean: That Greek Rhapsody set is terrific.
	♥ 9:15pm Gary: @Dean, oh yes
	9:17pm peter: a late hello!
	♥ 9:17pm Gary: Peter!
	9:18pm peter: did i miss all the laïká?
	♥ 9:19pm Gary: Yes, so tears shedding, but not the Rebetika
	♥ 9:20pm Ike: Hi! Listening while making granola.
	9:20pm peter: i was on a big haris alexiou kick lately
	♥ 9:21pm Gary: Ike! @Peter, I have a double-CD collection by her!
	♥ 9:21pm Gary: I'll hafta rip it and send along to you
	9:22pm peter: oo very cool! i just have a handful of her early albums, where they're just numbers :P
	9:28pm Dean: Last set all-Xenakis I'm hoping...
	♥ 9:29pm Gary: Last set all rebetika
	9:29pm Dean: (I was xoking.)
	9:30pm Dean: Lots of tracks on WFMU lately remind me of Klaxon Gueule, who happen to have a new album. This Giannis Arapis is one of them.
	♥ 9:31pm Gary: I'll have to look up Klaxon
	9:31pm Dean: Montreal trio, often with additional musicians.
	9:36pm chresti: TDK60 did it!
	9:37pm chresti: I cheered him on ;)
	9:37pm Dean: This Zoumbas is a goody, too: https://mississippirecords.bandcamp.com/album/alexis-zoumbas
	9:37pm TDK60: I found a rebetiko LP in the basement laundry room. But I don't have any hashish.
	9:39pm Dean: This, too: https://olvidorecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-jails-a-fine-school
	9:39pm northguineahills: Then you have Iannis Xenakis, one of my favorite composers, who was born to Greek parents in Romania, had almost half of his face blown off while being a partisan in Yugoslavia, then moved to France after the war (and became a French citizen).
	9:39pm tim abdellah: Here's a link to that documentary I was talking about. Available to stream 'til the end of the month through UC Berkeley's art museum/film archive ($10) bampfa.org...
	9:40pm chresti: Is kief like hashish? A local pot shop offers pot with kief.
	9:40pm northguineahills: I think I mentioned last week, that Greek colleague gifted me some rembetika rekkids he inherited from his father, as he knew I'd appreciate them.
	9:41pm northguineahills: I actually think I have this on vinyl. Yep! (never knew the titile).
	9:43pm Dean: Just realized that Tsitsanis was born and died on the same day, Jan. 18
	9:45pm TDK60: Chresti, I think kif is softer powder, or buds, of cannabis intended for making into hash. From North Africa - Algeria, Morocco I think. {?}
	9:49pm tim abdellah: I think what they call kif in the States may not be the same as what kif is in Morocco. In Morocco it's very finely chopped cannabis, smoked in a tiny clay pipe bowl. Brings you up and down quickly and gently!
	♥ 9:49pm Gary: Dean, how about some BASEMENT Greek?
	9:50pm Dean: Heh, there y'are.
	9:51pm northguineahills: Roza is one of the most famous Rembetika stars. Rembetika was music of sailors, hash smokers, and other social outcasts. I believe she was Roma-Jewish. Thanks, Gary, kick-ass show!.
	9:52pm chresti: Ah, here it's like a resin? I'll get some and report back.
	9:52pm Dean: Like retsina, you mean?
	9:52pm chresti: I like this Basement Greek.
	9:52pm tim abdellah: Retsina!
	♥ 9:53pm Gary: Pining for some retsina
	9:53pm headcleaner: saving the very best for last, Gary is
	9:53pm still b/p: Ask the experts, glimpsed earlier this evening. www.galeriehochdruck.com...
	9:53pm TDK60: Tim, Chresti I saw some that was loose yellow-green stuff, different from a lot of the Mexican usually around but that was a long time ago.
	9:53pm Dean: Inspiration for the Ramones, I gather. Had to lower the level of discourse with a pun?
	9:55pm Pie: “Why Snakes need Oil: 101 Bad Business Practices and How to Fix Them” my dad said the French say that they eat with their eyes first. The intro is written. Ye or Ney? Either way I’m gonna try! :::) ;) <3 Funny anecdotes will be included because it seems this is just how the intro took me.
	9:55pm chresti: still b/p, that must be opium.
	♥ 9:55pm Webhamster Henry: @Gary I was going to say, you can smell the retsina.
	9:56pm tim abdellah: moroccan-pipe.blogspot.com...
	♥ 9:56pm schmutz: sneakin in late, but this has been a treat. Thanks Gary!
	9:56pm still b/p: Oh, we can all take the discourse lower. Was gonna suggest earlier that the Greek rappers were hop-hoplites.
	♥ 9:57pm Gary: Schmutz!
	9:57pm LambdaCalculus: Thanks for an awesome show, Gary!
	9:57pm chresti: Haha still b/p.
	9:57pm Dean: You mean hip-hoplites?
	9:57pm TDK60: Great show, Gary. Night.
	9:57pm still b/p: "hip-hoplites"
	9:57pm tim abdellah: Opa! Thanks for the great tunes, Gary. Good night bodaga poppers!
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:59pm Gary: Night everyone!
	9:59pm chresti: Thanks Tim, although the pot shop called it "kief"
	♥ 9:59pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks Gary! Back at the Bodega next week!
	10:00pm Dean: Ευχαριστώ.
	10:00pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	3:14pm Marie: Another awesome show--thanks, Gary!

	7:04pm TDK60: I found an album in the basement.
	7:05pm zzzm: "Hellenes" means Greek stuff?
	♥ 7:05pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Gary! Greek specialties in the Bodega tonight! I live across the street from a Greek restaurant.
	7:05pm zzzm: ok
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: Welcome, Welcome Zzzm and Henry!
	7:06pm northguineahills: Where are all the Panthonikos fans at !(oh, wait, we weren't talking about football). Hellenes is Greek for Greece.
	♥ 7:06pm Webhamster Henry: Hellenes, from "Ελλάδα"
	7:07pm Dean: Just this morning a buddy turned me on to this: https://mississippirecords.bandcamp.com/album/all-parts-dark
	7:07pm TDK60: It's Greek to me but the music's got a beat and those dancers don't hurt my eyes, so...
	7:07pm david w: Hello Gary! I think you hit a vein!
	♥ 7:07pm Gary: Evening, Evening Dean and David!
	7:08pm zzzm: I was in east Greece two years ago (Thessaloniki ). I had an impression 50%+ were from Egypt there.
	7:09pm Dean: Got a dose of Greek genes myself, but never been there. In any event, I'm moving to Cyprus as soon as I can.
	♥ 7:10pm Gary: I want my next trip to be to Egypt, but we'll see
	7:11pm zzzm: There were large tourists from Cyprus there too.
	♥ 7:12pm doctorjazz: Great set!
	♥ 7:13pm doctorjazz: If we can ever travel again, I'll head to Africa (had a trip planned that got shot to hell by the pandemic).
	7:14pm northguineahills: If it wasn't for math, I wouldn't be able to read Greek....
	♥ 7:14pm Gary: Where in Africa, Doctor J?
	7:16pm zzzm: oh if all goes well, I am planning Serbia ~ Albaniia in summer.
	7:18pm Dean: I studied Attic Greek on my own using Hansen & Quinn's marvelous "intensive" course many years ago. Trouble is there aren't a lot of places to meet other speakers of Attic Greek to practice.
	♥ 7:19pm Gary: I have come to debase the Koine
	7:20pm TDK60: This P. Rizos is fun.
	♥ 7:21pm Gary: Always a pleasure when new music not suck
	7:21pm Dean: Attic precedes Koine, yes? The latter is "Biblical"?
	♥ 7:22pm Gary: Yes
	7:22pm chresti: Not many people have attics to study in, Dean.
	7:24pm zzzm: Greece was so rich I had no time exploring pop culture at my short stay. I didn't know they had such great stuff too!
	7:24pm TDK60: That is good solid WFMU stuff. We need it. Somebody tape it..
	7:25pm Dean: I bet there are lots of orthopaedic surgeons who have no spine, either, chresti.
	7:26pm Dean: For those of you who don't speak Greek, "fuck" (which Gary just uttered" means "fuck."
	7:26pm chresti: What does that have to do with studying Greek in the attic?
	7:27pm Dean: If you need an attic to study Attic, you need a spine to study spines...?
	♥ 7:27pm Gary: Home taping killed the radio star
	7:28pm chresti: If you say so.
	♥ 7:28pm Gary: in the attic with the candlestick
	7:29pm northguineahills: @Dean: You need Obama's time machine to go back to ancient Athens....
	7:31pm northguineahills: For a real challenge, try Pontic Greek (I don't speak Greek, outside of what I know from science, so it's all a challenge).
	7:33pm Dean: I don't particularly get the time machine reference, but I'm happy to read about it. Time--or any--travel isn't my bag.
	7:34pm TDK60: Gary, you ever played Kristi Stassinopoulou? Greek psych singer; I have one album.
	7:34pm Dean: Pontic? Wow, that's amazing. Judging from OED, it's a rich concept.
	7:36pm northguineahills: @Dean: it's a meme from referencing GOPers that blame stuff on Obama even from before he was in power. (he also had a weather machine, apparently, and caused Katrina).
	♥ 7:37pm doctorjazz: Kenya, Rwanda, was the trip, a Gary.
	7:37pm chresti: I've never been to Greece, I've heard it's hot there.
	7:37pm Dean: Ah, got it. Yes, I'm aware of that "meme," though I try mightily to avoid all of them. (In truth, though, Obama deserves a lot of blame.) I had no idea that Nana Mouskouri was still around, doing her thing.
	7:37pm still b/p: A young woman I know called me at work several years ago to settle an argument with a friend of hers, who claimed modern Greeks didn't speak ...Greek, that it was only an ancient language.
	♥ 7:37pm Gary: Oh wow, that sounds like it would be amazing
	♥ 7:38pm Gary: ^meant for Dr J
	7:39pm zzzm: right, but some reason i've connected Nana Mouskouri french venue
	7:39pm Dean: I read chresti @7:37 only after reading still b/p @7:37, and so I at first saw "I've heard it's not there." Most Greeks speak Pig Latin and Esperanto these days.
	♥ 7:40pm Gary: Still B/P!
	7:40pm chresti: Haha Dean.
	7:40pm still b/p: Ello-hay!
	7:41pm zzzm: honestly didn't now straight out greek western pop. i've heard them were playing odd meter songs
	♥ 7:41pm Gary: Haha, b/p
	7:42pm Dean: Aha-hay!
	7:44pm Dean: Er, that should be Stou Filopappou...
	7:44pm chresti: Nana Mouskouri is/was big in France.
	7:47pm Dean: Everybody needs to hear this, uh, rendition of ancient Greek music by Gregorio Paniagua and troupe: https://www.discogs.com/Atrium-Musicae-De-Madrid-Gregorio-Paniagua-Musique-De-La-Gr%C3%A8ce-Antique/master/211984 Includes a bursting Cognac bottle and a lawnmower.
	7:49pm still b/p: Socrates, Aristotle, et al:"Mow thyself."
	♥ 7:52pm Gary: And here I thought the first cut was the deepest
	7:55pm Dean: One of my favorite Greek words, other than the dirty ones my mom taught be, having learned them from her father, is σωρείτης.
	♥ 7:57pm Gary: Those clouds are a sight for σωρείτης, Dean
	7:58pm Dean: But when are they no longer clouds?
	7:58pm headcleaner: quite a wholesome and educational program thus far, Gary
	8:01pm chresti: A lot of big hair in those days.
	♥ 8:03pm Gary: Headcleaner!
	♥ 8:05pm Gary: Laika is the word I was looking for
	8:05pm Dean: Used to be a terrific Greek festival in LA on Pico Blvd. at the big-ass (that's Greek) cathedral across the street from Papa Cristo's. Suddenly got a hankering... https://papacristos.com/
	8:09pm Pie: Hi tuning in my from the app tonight. Reading but a funny “I would like to solve the puzzle. The dog says woof and the cow says moo”
	♥ 8:10pm Gary: Hi, Hi Pie!
	8:12pm TDK60: Gary, have you heard that NYC public station with a Greek show, WNYE?
	8:13pm Pie: Hello to you also Gary and any other listeners whom I have known and horses around with. Thanks for the nice tunes Gary it’s nice reading music..
	♥ 8:14pm Gary: I have, but I somehow didn't know about the Greek show
	8:17pm TDK60: Yeah they're pretty prominent on there; called "Cosmos FM" I think. NYE also has a caylpso show, other ethnic shows, educational shows.
	♥ 8:18pm Gary: There's actually a Greek radio station in this neighborhood, although I haven't heard it. But I've walked past the building. Not sure if it's on air or internet only
	8:24pm tim abdellah: Καλό απόγευμα, y'all
	♥ 8:25pm Gary: Halo, Halo Tim!
	8:25pm chresti: Hello pie and tim.
	8:31pm tim abdellah: Hiya Chresti
	8:35pm zzzm: the first cab driver from Greece airport to hotel graduated from Queens College!
	8:36pm TDK60: I was watching the ceremony, bits now and then, also following the wild show run by the manager of this station, and instant news articles, and trying to chew gum. Busy day.
	♥ 8:36pm Webhamster Henry: I was listening to Ken and C-Span simultaneously.
	8:39pm tim abdellah: Thx Gary :)
	8:41pm tim abdellah: I have never heard Greek hip-hop - this is pretty awesome!
	8:41pm headcleaner: what sound or letter were you having trouble with again, Gary? Was it χ or some other?
	8:41pm chresti: I glanced at news bits about the ceremony at work. Listened to some to the wild shows, also.
	♥ 8:42pm Gary: Headcleaner, it is all of it, but the isolated H? Maybe most?
	8:42pm tim abdellah: Last night I watched a French documentary called "The End of The Ottoman Empire". It had never entered my consciousness before that Greece was part of the Ottoman Empire.
	8:43pm TDK60: Chresti, that Ken "Staysh" as Clay calls him, he's wacky.
	♥ 8:43pm Gary: Empires' gonna empire
	8:44pm still b/p: I hauled a wee portable tube TV, an antenna and digital-to-analog converter for it, to where I was doing some work today, in case something crazy developed.
	8:46pm Pie: Hell yea!
	8:48pm northguineahills: I don't know any of the names of my Greek records, just the first few letters to put them in alphabetical order......
	8:48pm chresti: On my way home I heard a blow by blow account of when the Bidens got out of the car and walked the rest of the way. I winced a little then.
	8:48pm northguineahills: (same w/ anything Cyrillic).
	8:49pm headcleaner: @gary - I just didn't quite get your description of it on-air - "glicchial h agaf" was what my ears heard, but I'm having trouble mapping that to any phonological terms I know
	♥ 8:50pm Gary: My mom was FREAKED the FUCK OUT when they were walking over (b/c she was worried something would happen)
	8:51pm TDK60: I had a question no one could answer then - does the Marine Band do any Dylan? I think I heard J. Lo do a medley that included Woody Guthrie's Ths Land Is Your Land.
	8:54pm Pie: Brooklyners- I read in an emerging technologies book that areas of Brooklyn trade solar energy That concept is brilliant; the sharing economy and gig economy and such hasn’t really taken off too much in Minneapolis. Really cool concepts though. Im somewhat anti 9-5 which I certainly don’t oppose (and is changing because of current circumstances of the past year). I just don’t like the rigid image of “working stiff and fighting days” it is fighting reality essentially. But cheers to keeping progress progressive.
	8:54pm headcleaner: @tim abdellah - it may blow your mind even more to learn (as I did only a few years ago) that (for quite a long time) the pan-Hellenic "empire" (or sphere of influence) was much, much larger than modern Greece is today - spanning basically all of the coastal areas of the black sea, much of modern Turkey, off into Iran and central Asia
	8:54pm northguineahills: @tim: See also the former Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, and parts of Hungary. Before the demise of the Ottoman Empire, there were millions of ethnic Greeks in Anatolia (mostly along the Med coast and the Black Sea.
	8:55pm northguineahills: Also, the Ottoman Empire started mostly as a Balkan empire w/ some Anatolian territories before it took defeated Constantinople.
	8:56pm Dean: Fortunately, the Ottoman Emporium had a huge close-out sale.
	8:56pm northguineahills: headcleaner jinxed me...
	♥ 8:56pm Webhamster Henry: I used to have some great records of Anatolian Greek music.
	8:57pm still b/p: "Alright now, for all you boppers out there in the big city."
	8:57pm headcleaner: @gary - anyway I definitely get your broader point about there being "something about" Greek that makes it hard to place (to our wilted Anglophone ears) - and in any case I just love the sound of it (especially when spoken softly)
	8:57pm northguineahills: @Webhanster Henry: I have one.
	♥ 8:58pm Gary: @B/P best close-up of a mouth I can think of
	8:59pm chresti: I need another ottoman, they're great.
	9:00pm northguineahills: Thessalonica and Sofia used to be Turk-majority cities....(until 1920) (the disasterous population exchange that killed Turks and Greeks alike (see the Hind/Muslim exchange in Pakistan and India in 1947 as a more recent comparison).
	9:01pm tim abdellah: @headcleaner and @ngh - I got some sense of that in the documentary, which did a pretty good job unpacking the emergence of ethno-nationlism in the 19th century - bringing in economic and political contexts, and not reducing it to religious and cultural differences.
	9:02pm headcleaner: on other topics, Gary - ever heard of Killah P - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlos_Fyssas ? From some searches I did recently, it seems that no one has played him yet
	♥ 9:03pm Webhamster Henry: I was just reading in Wikipedia about the resurgence and recognition of Classical Greek Religion (Hellenism) en.wikipedia.org...
	9:04pm TDK60: Oh yeah headcleaner, that was the rapper murdered by fascists. 5 years ago?
	9:04pm headcleaner: @TDK60 - yep
	9:05pm still b/p: Saw part of the Rise of Empires: Ottoman, a couple weeks ago -- combination of doc and dramatizations telling story of conquest of Constantinople, but, man, the actual siege took less time then the program. We didn't hang on to see all of how, you know, Constantinople got the works.
	♥ 9:05pm Webhamster Henry: I'm interested because I'm an obsessive fan of the Webtoon Lore Olympus. www.webtoons.com...
	9:06pm chresti: TDK60, I think the Marine Band does "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam
	9:07pm TDK60: hee chrest!
	9:10pm TDK60: I recall the announcer saying the Marine Band uniforms are specially tailored without epaulets in order to let the violinists rest their violins better. You needed to know this.
	♥ 9:10pm Gary: @Headcleaner, I hadn't heard of him, I don't think, no ... thanks for the tip!
	9:11pm coelacanth∅: hey Gary and all
	♥ 9:12pm Gary: coelacanth∅!
	9:14pm Dean: That Greek Rhapsody set is terrific.
	♥ 9:15pm Gary: @Dean, oh yes
	9:17pm peter: a late hello!
	♥ 9:17pm Gary: Peter!
	9:18pm peter: did i miss all the laïká?
	♥ 9:19pm Gary: Yes, so tears shedding, but not the Rebetika
	♥ 9:20pm Ike: Hi! Listening while making granola.
	9:20pm peter: i was on a big haris alexiou kick lately
	♥ 9:21pm Gary: Ike! @Peter, I have a double-CD collection by her!
	♥ 9:21pm Gary: I'll hafta rip it and send along to you
	9:22pm peter: oo very cool! i just have a handful of her early albums, where they're just numbers :P
	9:28pm Dean: Last set all-Xenakis I'm hoping...
	♥ 9:29pm Gary: Last set all rebetika
	9:29pm Dean: (I was xoking.)
	9:30pm Dean: Lots of tracks on WFMU lately remind me of Klaxon Gueule, who happen to have a new album. This Giannis Arapis is one of them.
	♥ 9:31pm Gary: I'll have to look up Klaxon
	9:31pm Dean: Montreal trio, often with additional musicians.
	9:36pm chresti: TDK60 did it!
	9:37pm chresti: I cheered him on ;)
	9:37pm Dean: This Zoumbas is a goody, too: https://mississippirecords.bandcamp.com/album/alexis-zoumbas
	9:37pm TDK60: I found a rebetiko LP in the basement laundry room. But I don't have any hashish.
	9:39pm Dean: This, too: https://olvidorecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-jails-a-fine-school
	9:39pm northguineahills: Then you have Iannis Xenakis, one of my favorite composers, who was born to Greek parents in Romania, had almost half of his face blown off while being a partisan in Yugoslavia, then moved to France after the war (and became a French citizen).
	9:39pm tim abdellah: Here's a link to that documentary I was talking about. Available to stream 'til the end of the month through UC Berkeley's art museum/film archive ($10) bampfa.org...
	9:40pm chresti: Is kief like hashish? A local pot shop offers pot with kief.
	9:40pm northguineahills: I think I mentioned last week, that Greek colleague gifted me some rembetika rekkids he inherited from his father, as he knew I'd appreciate them.
	9:41pm northguineahills: I actually think I have this on vinyl. Yep! (never knew the titile).
	9:43pm Dean: Just realized that Tsitsanis was born and died on the same day, Jan. 18
	9:45pm TDK60: Chresti, I think kif is softer powder, or buds, of cannabis intended for making into hash. From North Africa - Algeria, Morocco I think. {?}
	9:49pm tim abdellah: I think what they call kif in the States may not be the same as what kif is in Morocco. In Morocco it's very finely chopped cannabis, smoked in a tiny clay pipe bowl. Brings you up and down quickly and gently!
	♥ 9:49pm Gary: Dean, how about some BASEMENT Greek?
	9:50pm Dean: Heh, there y'are.
	9:51pm northguineahills: Roza is one of the most famous Rembetika stars. Rembetika was music of sailors, hash smokers, and other social outcasts. I believe she was Roma-Jewish. Thanks, Gary, kick-ass show!.
	9:52pm chresti: Ah, here it's like a resin? I'll get some and report back.
	9:52pm Dean: Like retsina, you mean?
	9:52pm chresti: I like this Basement Greek.
	9:52pm tim abdellah: Retsina!
	♥ 9:53pm Gary: Pining for some retsina
	9:53pm headcleaner: saving the very best for last, Gary is
	9:53pm still b/p: Ask the experts, glimpsed earlier this evening. www.galeriehochdruck.com...
	9:53pm TDK60: Tim, Chresti I saw some that was loose yellow-green stuff, different from a lot of the Mexican usually around but that was a long time ago.
	9:53pm Dean: Inspiration for the Ramones, I gather. Had to lower the level of discourse with a pun?
	9:55pm Pie: “Why Snakes need Oil: 101 Bad Business Practices and How to Fix Them” my dad said the French say that they eat with their eyes first. The intro is written. Ye or Ney? Either way I’m gonna try! :::) ;) <3 Funny anecdotes will be included because it seems this is just how the intro took me.
	9:55pm chresti: still b/p, that must be opium.
	♥ 9:55pm Webhamster Henry: @Gary I was going to say, you can smell the retsina.
	9:56pm tim abdellah: moroccan-pipe.blogspot.com...
	♥ 9:56pm schmutz: sneakin in late, but this has been a treat. Thanks Gary!
	9:56pm still b/p: Oh, we can all take the discourse lower. Was gonna suggest earlier that the Greek rappers were hop-hoplites.
	♥ 9:57pm Gary: Schmutz!
	9:57pm LambdaCalculus: Thanks for an awesome show, Gary!
	9:57pm chresti: Haha still b/p.
	9:57pm Dean: You mean hip-hoplites?
	9:57pm TDK60: Great show, Gary. Night.
	9:57pm still b/p: "hip-hoplites"
	9:57pm tim abdellah: Opa! Thanks for the great tunes, Gary. Good night bodaga poppers!
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:59pm Gary: Night everyone!
	9:59pm chresti: Thanks Tim, although the pot shop called it "kief"
	♥ 9:59pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks Gary! Back at the Bodega next week!
	10:00pm Dean: Ευχαριστώ.
	10:00pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	3:14pm Marie: Another awesome show--thanks, Gary!
