WFMU: Pseu's Thing With A Hook: Playlist from June 2, 2022

Listener comments!
	12:03pm Listening Out There: It's the hook with the thing...
	12:04pm Robm: Afternoon fellow hookers
	♥ 12:04pm McGroovey: Of you could be any kind of hook, what kind of hook would you be?
	♥ 12:05pm Krys O.: Good afternoon!
	12:05pm Andres: Hi, Pseu and all! Artsick? Symptoms include hooks!
	♥ 12:05pm Kenny rotten: Hi Pseu, looking forward to the show!
	♥ 12:05pm Jack McGuire: Tearing off boyfriends' arms.
	12:05pm Listener Robert: At noon on 90.1 I ID'd KKFI-FM, Kansas City. Not bad for a sporadic E logging WHEN I'M NOT EVEN TRYING TO DX, but trying to listen to WMFU.
	12:07pm prof.fuzz: Ears at attention! On the road to Philly today.
	♥ 12:07pm LesleyK: Hi Pseu.. tuned in while workin' here.
	12:07pm PuraVida: Good afternoon all (still morning out west here)
	♥ 12:09pm full metal monkey: Prof.Fuzz great time last night playing with you guys. Have a great show tonight.
	12:09pm Pomme D'or: Hey Pseu! Hookers!
	12:09pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Listener Robert-what is your location? I am very surprised you could pick that up anywhere near the tri state area?
	12:13pm Listener Robert: I'm in Andover, in southern Sussex Co. NJ. This means that briefly, people in Kansas City trying to listen to that Pacifica affiliate were hearing Ms. Braun. Interesting fund-raising problem at kkfi.org . Seems their tower site has been sold from under them, and they're raising money to purchase an easement for permanent use of the site.
	♥ 12:13pm desert fox: love this!
	♥ 12:14pm Bill in W.O.: KKFI is an ongoing disappointment and one of those small but important ways that St. Louis is better than KC and I'm a relatively proud KC native and see KDHX by comparison. Anyway, there nor here, so.
	12:14pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Listener Robert-I grew up on a farm on the Warren/Sussex county line about one mile from Greendell and 2.5 miles from Johnsonburg. Went to North Warren Regional HS in Blairstown!
	♥ 12:18pm Patrick S.: That The Needs song sounds like a faster version of SUGAR's IF I CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND.
	12:18pm prof.fuzz: Thanks FMM! Last night was a blast!
	12:19pm Listener Robert: Interesting also that they're Mid-Coast Radio Project. There's the East Coast and the West Coast, so Kansas City must be the Middle Coast.
	♥ 12:20pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello Pseu & Hookers! Hey prof.fuzz - great show last night, it was great to meet you! Hey McGroovey, LesleyK!
	♥ 12:21pm McGroovey: All hail Psych-O-Positive, Creek and Kills, and the Prof.Fuzz 63! Huzzah!
	12:21pm prof.fuzz: Good to meet you, Mike. Thanks for coming!
	♥ 12:21pm Bill in W.O.: Mid-Coast is yet another TX brag and KC ain't coastal to anything, but sure, irony. Off to a great start today, Pseu!
	♥ 12:23pm Mike From Brooklyn: @McGroovey - Huzzah is right!
	12:23pm prof.fuzz: Denton TX is No-Coast… Woot woot!
	♥ 12:24pm Jack McGuire: Hey, that was Young Guv, not the old Guv.
	12:25pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Melenas reminds me of Stereolab, maybe its the jangly guitar drone and the organ.
	12:25pm prof.fuzz: Chinese food picnic in the van. Sweet and sour sauce balanced precariously on the dashboard… Hooks streaming. Fun times.
	♥ 12:27pm full metal monkey: Prof. No cheese steak sandwiches?
	12:29pm prof.fuzz: FMM: For dinner. We’re sitting outside of Princeton right now
	♥ 12:30pm Travisano66: Missed opportunity. Should have been "Why you gotta be the judge? We were just having fudge."
	12:30pm Hydroplane: I wish I was at PREX right now
	12:31pm Andres: prof.fuzz: You’re making me hungry and worry about sweet and sour sauce spilling and getting inside the dashboard!
	12:31pm Andres: Or down the windshield vents!
	12:32pm Spunky Monkey: WOW!
	12:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Professor Fuzz-there is a thing that attaches to your steering wheel that acts as a tray. Its a bit hokey but worth looking into if your steering wheel would work with it, you need proper spokes configuration.
	12:36pm Andres: I like to rest a doughnut on the dashboard. Although I need to move it before cornering.
	12:36pm prof.fuzz: I’ll check into that Wild Neil!
	12:39pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This one looks ok...and universal...www.amazon.com...
	♥ 12:39pm Bimbus Bambus: Hook'n and lure'n
	♥ 12:40pm full metal monkey: Wild Neil. That thing is hilariously cool
	12:42pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Full Metal Monkey-there is a plastic version my boss's wife got for him, he never used it. The wooden thing is pretty sweet to be sure. I HATE eating in my car, however. One time my boss invited me to a business lunch and it consisted of going to Arby's for sandwhiches (I hate Arby's) then to McDonalds for fries, and eating in the parking lot. I guess you can take the driver out of trucking, but.....
	12:43pm prof.fuzz: We’re getting ready to roll. We’ll be listening but not chatting. Stay well.
	♥ 12:44pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Tom Skinner (Sons of Kemet)
	♥ 12:44pm Analog Nights: Do Hudson Yards and Occulus count as malls?
	♥ 12:46pm arb: last time in a mall: gawking at a cro-nut called "avocado dicaprio" in yogyakarta. I was there for the AC
	12:46pm ?: Last time I went to a mall was YESTERDAY buying pants for my kid who insists on only wearing rust colours. What stuck out to me: 2PAC. I hear the kids are into Kate Bush now, but what's up with 2Pac? I know he never went away, but I swear every 2nd teenager at the mall had a 2Pac shirt. Is this like 80s teens wearing Doors shirts?
	12:46pm PuraVida: Last time in a mall Pseu, Multiplaze in Escazú Costa. Rica, just outside of San José taking pictures of the 6 foot high painted Coca Cola bottle exhibition there. There were 50+ different painted bottles all by different artists...
	12:47pm gmt221: last time I went to the mall was earlier this week, not to buy anything, me and a friend were just walking and talking and it made for a good circle
	♥ 12:47pm Pseu Braun: HELLO MALL GOERS!!!!
	♥ 12:47pm swivs: Only cuz you said "drop a hot one": Stashu and I wanted to go throw the frisbee around at the park but all I have are combat boots. So, we went to the mall to get me sneakers, found the arcade and never went to the park. The end.
	♥ 12:47pm paddy in matawan: former mall rat. malls are pretty gross now. smoking on the tracks and playing Crusin USA at The Game Room was the shit tho.
	12:48pm piker62: Come on man, I went to the mall last Sunday to remind me what it was like outside the house. It's not as much fun when everyone is wearing masks, but the eye makeup game is epic now.
	12:48pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Coronado Mall in Albuquerque. Looking for sandals. No luck. Went to Amazon later instead. Glad Kate Bush is a thing. I read you can get Unknown Pleasures T shirts (Joy Division album) at K-mart now. My neice in Poland sports a Def Leppard shirt from 1982 or so.
	♥ 12:48pm Niall: Oo, @arb! Are you no longer in my Monday night rotation? To that I say "no. no. no no no. no."
	♥ 12:48pm arb: i'm engulfed by strip malls in LA but I don't think that's what you meant
	♥ 12:49pm Jack McGuire: Gawd, I luv 2nd Grade.
	♥ 12:49pm Chris In Raleigh: New blood Pseu! Honestly I cannot remeber exactly when I was last in a mall. Some time in 2019 most likely Crabtree Mall in Raleigh NC, before the pandemic.
	12:49pm Hopalong Lightnin': Our local hospital just bought our mall. Get ready for dropping your teens off for their orthoscopic knee surgery.
	12:49pm PuraVida: My mall growing up was the Livingston Mall...
	♥ 12:49pm paddy in matawan: hoodbridge was better than menlo
	♥ 12:49pm arb: Hi and lol Niall! I hope to come back in the fall! (my couplet to you)
	♥ 12:49pm Niall: I've never been to LA, but a weekend in Houston really made me appreciate strip malls after a lifetime of disdain.
	♥ 12:50pm nathan: do strip malls count? i think i got towels at BB&B. cool story, right?
	♥ 12:50pm Pseu Braun: ARB hello that's what I meant. I like the idea of a mall ganging up on a neighborhood.
	♥ 12:50pm Niall: @arb: It is well, then.
	♥ 12:50pm Krys O.: I think the last time I was in a mall was 10 years ago or so. It was the Willowbrook Mall. I didn't even go to the Galleria in White Plains when that was the thing to do in high school in the late 70s. Shopping trips would give me a headache. I hate dawdling. I know what I'm looking for and then I get out, unless it was the olden times of Salvation Army browsing.
	♥ 12:50pm Pseu Braun: @nathan cool story
	♥ 12:51pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Last mall, SteepleGate in Concord, NH. Wife was there for an eye exam. 75% of the stores were empty. Kinda depressing.
	♥ 12:51pm nathan: thanks!!
	♥ 12:51pm Roberto: arb! Yes, please come back!
	♥ 12:51pm drr: I went to a mall in Austin TX that had two hotels and an apartment complex in it. I needed to buy a MagSafe adapter that day. The Apple store was slammed, the Microsoft store was empty.
	♥ 12:51pm paddy in matawan: My town has the best strip mall in existence. Brewery / restaurant, bowling, hibachi, itallian market, liquor store, taco bell, kfc, cluck u, ..... laundromat, RIP bagels, new restaurant coming, euro wax...
	♥ 12:51pm drr: That was 2016.
	♥ 12:52pm Chris In Raleigh: Hey you Jersey people what was the Mall on rt 35 south of Eatontown?
	12:52pm piker62: Dawn of the Dead had it wrong. When the zombies rise, they'll all be at home shopping on Amazon
	12:52pm Andres: At the local mall, there is a store that is rockin tees and skate shoes up front and then sex toys and bongs in the back. Many a parent is seen quickly shuffling their kids out.
	♥ 12:52pm drr: Paddy: would that be Matawan?
	♥ 12:52pm MrDeb: I'm fresh blood and none of the other kids at this f-ing lunch table will play with me, to mix a metaphor. Went recently to a mall in Flushing that has a Chinese food court in the basement where non-Chinese speakers are SHIT OUT OF LUCK as 99% of the menus are not in English and it was delicious and very fun
	♥ 12:52pm Fishtown Mike: Mall? So f'in suburban. I hear they have cheesecake factories there. Probably been in a mall to use the can.
	♥ 12:53pm Mike Sin: The original Garden State Plaza was cool up until the end of the 1980s because it was indeed a true "mall" -- that is, you had to walk around outside and enter the stores through their separate entrances. Y'know, just like they shopped in ancient Rome!. The Sam Goody record store in the GSP at the time was downright awesome -- it was the place for cool imports.
	♥ 12:53pm Jack McGuire: Chopping Mall is a fantastic movie
	♥ 12:53pm paddy in matawan: @drr yeah baby, technically aberdeen but debatable
	12:53pm jameson 57: Kate Bush song is featured on show Stranger Things. Kids hear Kate Bush there
	♥ 12:54pm Chris In Raleigh: @Mike Sin, I liked Paramus Park better!
	♥ 12:54pm arb: hi roberto! I don't make the schedule, I only live according to it. Still doing Cha Cha Heels on Sunday nights :)
	♥ 12:54pm Krys O.: Ooh, Mr. Deb. You reminded me of pre-Covid gatherings with friends for authentic Chinese banquets. Yes, the menus were in Chinese and our friend who hosted the dinners, would make the selections.
	12:54pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: 90% of Albuquerque is strip malls. About 25% of those are faux-dobe. In Santa Fe thats about 75% Faux0dobe. Rockwaway Mall was the premium mall growing up for me. Are they even open still?
	♥ 12:54pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @MrDeb: So you just point at a photo and hope for the best?
	12:54pm PuraVida: I'm old enough to remember when the Mall at Short Hills was a strip mall...
	12:55pm jameson 57: this sweet potato is orange like this song. Funny, huh?
	♥ 12:55pm Bill in W.O.: Last time I was at a mall was two weeks ago when I got my 2nd booster at the deserted now old Sears at Livingston Mall but I guess that kinda doesn't count. I was at the Valley of Malls recently, always enjoy going back there.
	♥ 12:55pm Pseu Braun: Monmouth Mall (rt 35) has the MC ASPCA in it!
	♥ 12:56pm Krys O.: @Mike Sin: I believe my ex worked at the Sam Goody in Paramus in the late 70s/early 80s.
	♥ 12:56pm paddy in matawan: Goody got it!
	♥ 12:56pm Mike Sin: @Chris In Raleigh -- Paramus Park was cool in my youth, but it was like a jungle Jim for maniacal kids at the time. Jumping in that fountain and all that... noisy as hell too. The Harmony Hut record store in there was worth it though -- they had rows and rows of oldies 45s for the picking.
	♥ 12:56pm Chris In Raleigh: Thank you Pseu! When AT&T dragooned me to work in Middletown back in the 90s that was my Mall!
	♥ 12:57pm Analog Nights: SoHo is basically an outdoor mall.
	♥ 12:57pm MrDeb: @WoodsofNH aka Maine yes! or ask someone eating something that looks good what they're eating. Makes things exciting in this age where too many of us are too isolated and take few chances and spend too much time researching each darn crumb we consume (myself included) if you ask me
	12:58pm Patster: Remember Harmony Hut at GSP mall in the ‘70s?
	12:58pm Andres: The malls of my youth all had fountains or waterfalls. Those are no more around here.
	♥ 12:58pm Jason from Houston: Ohhhhhhh! Love this Prekop...
	♥ 12:58pm queems: i was at that pier mall in atlantic city a few weeks ago, and that place is DEAD. had 3 or 4 open stores in the whole thing. it was like a perfectly preserved luxury ghost town. willowbrook, on the otherhand, is alive and well as of last weekend
	12:59pm jameson 57: Once asked the kid at Sam Goody's if they had the new Sade album. He looked at me confusedly. No clue. Kinda sad.
	♥ 12:59pm paddy in matawan: old menlo was so weird
	12:59pm PuraVida: We had Essex Green in West Orange, the best outdoor mall ever (ask Paul Blart, Mall Cop)
	♥ 1:00pm Krys O.: We had great shopping plazas in my town. Korvette's was the anchor store and they had an awesome record department. There was a head shop in that plaza that my older siblings took me to. I have a vivid memory of touching an apple seed necklace and having it break apart and spill out on the floor. Everybody was too stoned to get angry at me.
	♥ 1:00pm MrDeb: @Analog Nights 100%. Me and my friends have called it that (e.g. "I gotta go to the mall) since the late 90s when I worked there on a thing called a MAGAZINE.
	♥ 1:00pm Jason from Houston: Ain't been to a mall in a few years. When I was a youth, I would smoke cigarettes in the food court at my local spot.
	♥ 1:01pm Chris In Raleigh: "She was a Jewish I fell in love with her I forgot to tell her that I didnt eat meat". True story of Paramus Park. It happened to me, or Dean Friedman!
	♥ 1:01pm Niall: Gosh, I'd forgotten about Sam Prekop; I thought this was Crayon Fields.
	♥ 1:01pm BLCKDGRD: Laugh, I was Sea and Caking last night, love Prekop's and Prewitt's solo stuff too
	♥ 1:01pm Mike Sin: @Krys O -- getting to that Sam Goody was an exciting treat for me because, as I didn't drive at that age and it was a bit out of the way from where we lived, I'd be waiting for the word that my folks, older sister, or some friends were going there. I would get lost in that Sam Goody store for hours.
	♥ 1:02pm Niall: MrDeb: Those places are the best if you don't mind the fish out of water feeling.
	♥ 1:02pm Bill in W.O.: Aren't all malls of everybody's youth dead? Cycle of life, or something? But Essex Green, still there, here to tell.
	1:03pm PuraVida: The Inner Eye on Bloomfield Ave (not a mall), our head shop growing up became the site of NJ's first medical mariijuana dispensary. Karma...
	♥ 1:03pm MrDeb: @Pseu belated thanks for the intro to Ibibio Sound Machine: amazing
	♥ 1:04pm Chris In Raleigh: I used to buy my CDs at an independent record store on Broad Street in Red Bank (aka New Jersey's hippest town!)
	♥ 1:05pm Niall: Is Vintage Vinyl still around? A girl I dated from West Long Branch took me there. Such a happy memory.
	♥ 1:05pm Pseu Braun: Jack's Music Shoppe, still there, @Chris in raleigh ... great memories
	♥ 1:05pm Pseu Braun: Vintage Vinyl is lost to history, sadly.
	♥ 1:05pm Niall: "Oh, my dreams / Are never quite what they seem..."
	♥ 1:06pm Niall: @Pseu Braun: as is almost every record store I've set foot in, probbaly.
	1:06pm Andres: Malls of my youth went from shades of beige and brown to blinding white.
	1:07pm jameson 57: this sweet potato paired with the bellvita cranberry orange cracker is quite tasty
	♥ 1:08pm Mike From Brooklyn: As a kid, my mall was the Nanuet Mall in Rockland County. (I wasn't born and raised in Brooklyn as my misleading handle suggests, though I've lived in Brooklyn for most of my adult life.) I had to hold my breath if I entered through Macy's. All the perfume from the perfume samplers was literally sickening. The mall had a record store. Probably Sam Goody. I don't remember.
	♥ 1:08pm Chris In Raleigh: Pseu, Jack's yes! Oh I have such happy memories of Red Bank! That and Gunnison Beach the things I liked best about Monmouth County!
	♥ 1:10pm Chris In Raleigh: @Mike oh the spray girls in Macy's b-ah!
	♥ 1:11pm Analog Nights: Malls were all about cassingles for me 87-92
	♥ 1:12pm Niall: @Mike From Brooklyn: I know Nanuet! My cousins moved there from Queens in the mid-90s. I remember a couple decent indie CD stores, though they didn't sell the stuff I was into - that would have been Digital Underground in Philly, Isolation Tank in Jenkintown or Cafe Soundz in Montclair.
	♥ 1:12pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Late 70's mall for me was about Spencers and the Crumb "Stoned Agin" blacklight poster.
	♥ 1:13pm Mike Sin: @Mike in Brooklyn -- the record in the Nanuet Mall throughout the '70s and '80s was "Music Den." And, if you were looking for flashy shirts, you had to stop at Chess King.
	♥ 1:13pm Chris In Raleigh: A friend of the family owns The Bop Shop in Rochester NY, if you want to make the trip over 10k vinyl albums for sale!
	♥ 1:13pm Chris In Raleigh: Keep on truckin' WoodsOfNH.
	1:14pm Andres: My one and only is Suzanne Vega, DNA - Tom’s Diner. Still gold.
	1:15pm Andres: *cassingle
	♥ 1:15pm Mike Sin: The best part of the Nanuet Mall for an oversexed teenage maniac? The gigantic "Fredrick's of Hollywood" with its window displays.
	♥ 1:15pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Chris In Raleigh: Ha! Right.
	1:16pm UFOspecialist: 3DC in the AM w/ JA!
	♥ 1:16pm Chris In Raleigh: @Mike beat's where I was cruising mall chicks in high school - Woolworths!!!
	♥ 1:17pm efd: WFMU on Twitter is just a bunch of blather, really
	♥ 1:19pm full metal monkey: Can not wait for my swag. I have to start filling up another dresser drawer with more wfmu tee shirts.
	♥ 1:19pm Mike From Brooklyn: @Mike Sin - Yes! The Music Den! I also vaguely remember Chess King now that you mention it. And "Fredrick's of Hollywood" was certainly not lost my 16 year old self.
	1:21pm jameson 57: Mike Damone of Fast Times fame ruled that mall with his ticket scalping
	♥ 1:21pm Bill in W.O.: WFMU on Twitter is pretty solid. I mean, YMMV but there was a thing yesterday about a buncha old New Wave Theatre episodes on archive.org that I didn't know about and maybe that's on me but I thought it was pretty swell.
	♥ 1:23pm McGroovey: I grew up to far from the mall to hang out there. My sisters wanted to, though, and one of them even bought a car without mom & dad's permission so she could do it. It was 20 miles away.
	1:23pm Andres: Yes, that tweeter account is a rabbit hole of good reading.
	♥ 1:24pm Bimbus Bambus: Wore my WFMU cat t-shirt last week and someone passing me right outside my front door, without making eye contact, said "best radio station ever."
	♥ 1:25pm full metal monkey: @bimbus. Ish I had the cat shirt
	♥ 1:25pm Mike From Brooklyn: @Bimbus Bambus - Was that the Cat Pyramid shirt? That was one of my favorite WFMU shirts. Sadly I lost it while travelling.
	♥ 1:25pm full metal monkey: Wish lol
	♥ 1:25pm Krys O.: @Niall: Haven't thought about Cafe Soundz in ages. Did you ever go to Crazy Rhythms in Montclair? My ex worked there for 16 years.
	♥ 1:28pm steveo: sounds like summer!
	1:34pm Andres: Sometimes my searches produce terrible results. “soup by guppy” was one of those. Found them by other means.
	♥ 1:36pm Roberto: Yas Charlotte Hatherley!
	♥ 1:37pm xtrakrispy: that new London Suede tune was great...
	♥ 1:37pm steveo: i searched for "guppy soup" and got a recommendation for a seafood restaurant near me
	♥ 1:37pm Niall: @Krys O.: That rings no bells for me, sorry!
	1:37pm morphe': Andreas - "Soup," by Guppy sounds better than Guppy Soup...
	♥ 1:40pm Bimbus Bambus: Nice one, Pseu
	1:40pm EG_Astro: yessss asshhhhhhhhhhhh it's been too long thank u
	♥ 1:41pm Bimbus Bambus: Thanks for not playing the track where they're just barfing on the floor
	1:45pm Andres: morphe’: With a good stock as its base it might be okay.
	♥ 1:51pm McGroovey: Howdy, Dayffid!
	1:52pm morphe': Niall was out and about ... sent ya the Ballyguin post code = pale yellow house on the left of the Bohreen on the way down to the Strand ...
	♥ 1:55pm Mike From Brooklyn: Regarding the Paramus Park Mall, which was close-ish but not my local, I recall a cool store that sold fiber optic lamps. It might have also sold black light posters, though that might have been a different store.
	1:57pm Gerry from Miami: Whew! I am so excited to be back in the fold of this terrific Thursday afternoon staple on WFMU. A cascade of circumstances has prevented me from cozying up to Pseu's unique weekly program for far too long. But now I am here once more and digging the grooves as I once did. Thanks to you, Pseu. Your impeccable taste in new and vintage sounds has not diminished one bit!
	♥ 1:59pm Mike From Brooklyn: @Niall - Cool! I also recall a couple of non-chain record stores near Nanuet though I can't name them. There was Sam Goody somewhere though. Maybe next to Rickles?
	♥ 2:02pm Bill in W.O.: I don't usually suck up (much) but today's had a serious "hit after hit" vibe and I am very likely going back on it later just because I need to research some stuff.
	♥ 2:02pm McGroovey: spygenius emits an interesting and entertaining word salad.
	2:02pm Spunky Monkey: Yes.... Duncan
	2:05pm Mike tp: in on Duncan. for a sec thought it might be incredible string band.very sweet.hi pseu and the enjoyeres..
	2:05pm Gerry from Miami: Was just reading about Elvis Costello's latest album(he calls it an EP). "The one we should have made when we were 18," EC remarks. All this music comes from the era before his first "official" release, "My Aim Is True." Brinsley Schwartz, Nick Lowe and even Neil Young tunes are well represented. Due out in about a week. Haven't seen a pre-release copy at the station yet, have you Pseu?
	♥ 2:07pm drr: Eleanor Rigby II.
	♥ 2:10pm McGroovey: one of them is me : I'm sniffing back the tears. [Sniff]
	♥ 2:12pm LesleyK: Hi Mike from Brooklyn and everyone.. Mike, just saw your hello earlier in chat (had to jump off chat earlier due to work)
	♥ 2:12pm Chris In Raleigh: Nice cover.
	♥ 2:13pm drr: Second time hearing this McGuinn tune this week, it was on American Top 40 on WTIX last Sunday.
	♥ 2:14pm drr: Sounds like they asked Jimmy Buffett for production help.
	♥ 2:16pm Michael Shelley: Hey y'all!
	♥ 2:17pm Chris In Raleigh: Hi Michael Shelley!
	2:18pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	2:18pm Gerry from Miami: Howdy, Michael! Pseu's playing some super stuff today! As usual!
	♥ 2:20pm LesleyK: Cocteau Twins-- blast from my past!
	♥ 2:20pm McGroovey: And yet someone still managed to cover Lorelei.
	2:20pm katharsis: Hello Pseu and hooked ones. Haven’t heard this one in a while.
	♥ 2:23pm drr: Really liked that Andrew Gold, new one to me.
	♥ 2:24pm joe mulligan: Cocteau Twins' "Lorelai" bringing me back to a 1985 radio show I taped from University of Delaware's Cutting Edge alternative program
	♥ 2:25pm jamesegio: Closest mall growing up was Livingston, where there was a Sam Goody. Didn't find much that i liked there except for the expensive Jem import bin. Once i had a vehicle, Montclair had all my record and head needs met - 80s to 90s.
	♥ 2:25pm waters7: Purr.
	2:25pm morphe': Just Got a God Save the Queen Sex Pistols link from my 70 Y/O Madrid English -Spanish landlord for the Jubilation
	♥ 2:26pm jamesegio: Is this song about hash?
	2:27pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Nice Garden State soundtrack item.
	♥ 2:28pm Pseu Braun: THANK U GERRY
	2:30pm morphe': Thanks Pseu and all .. Great show !! Thanks for spinning Pseu !!!
	2:32pm morphe': https://www.theguardian.com/uk/queen
	♥ 2:32pm Smurph: Neutrals!!!
	2:36pm Pomme D'or: The nearest mall to where I lived was Kings Plaza in Marine Park, Brooklyn. Nobody Beats the Whiz !!
	♥ 2:36pm emilie s: How is this track not The Strokes?
	2:37pm Gerry from Miami: Kiwi Jr.! A favorite of WFMU Wake 'n' Bake" morning host, Clay Pigeon.
	♥ 2:38pm mon!ka: ^ yes! that's where i heard it first the other day (yesterday?)
	2:42pm Geoff-U: This Ride track "All I Want" is cool!
	♥ 2:44pm drr: The Mommyheads are the opposite of background music.
	2:48pm Gerry from Miami: @drr. Yes, sorta like the Violent Femmes or Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. Hard to ignore.
	2:51pm Gerry from Miami: Mommy and Daddy songs! We just had another Mothers' Day with Fathers' Day coming up later this month.

Listener comments!
	12:03pm Listening Out There: It's the hook with the thing...
	12:04pm Robm: Afternoon fellow hookers
	♥ 12:04pm McGroovey: Of you could be any kind of hook, what kind of hook would you be?
	♥ 12:05pm Krys O.: Good afternoon!
	12:05pm Andres: Hi, Pseu and all! Artsick? Symptoms include hooks!
	♥ 12:05pm Kenny rotten: Hi Pseu, looking forward to the show!
	♥ 12:05pm Jack McGuire: Tearing off boyfriends' arms.
	12:05pm Listener Robert: At noon on 90.1 I ID'd KKFI-FM, Kansas City. Not bad for a sporadic E logging WHEN I'M NOT EVEN TRYING TO DX, but trying to listen to WMFU.
	12:07pm prof.fuzz: Ears at attention! On the road to Philly today.
	♥ 12:07pm LesleyK: Hi Pseu.. tuned in while workin' here.
	12:07pm PuraVida: Good afternoon all (still morning out west here)
	♥ 12:09pm full metal monkey: Prof.Fuzz great time last night playing with you guys. Have a great show tonight.
	12:09pm Pomme D'or: Hey Pseu! Hookers!
	12:09pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Listener Robert-what is your location? I am very surprised you could pick that up anywhere near the tri state area?
	12:13pm Listener Robert: I'm in Andover, in southern Sussex Co. NJ. This means that briefly, people in Kansas City trying to listen to that Pacifica affiliate were hearing Ms. Braun. Interesting fund-raising problem at kkfi.org . Seems their tower site has been sold from under them, and they're raising money to purchase an easement for permanent use of the site.
	♥ 12:13pm desert fox: love this!
	♥ 12:14pm Bill in W.O.: KKFI is an ongoing disappointment and one of those small but important ways that St. Louis is better than KC and I'm a relatively proud KC native and see KDHX by comparison. Anyway, there nor here, so.
	12:14pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Listener Robert-I grew up on a farm on the Warren/Sussex county line about one mile from Greendell and 2.5 miles from Johnsonburg. Went to North Warren Regional HS in Blairstown!
	♥ 12:18pm Patrick S.: That The Needs song sounds like a faster version of SUGAR's IF I CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND.
	12:18pm prof.fuzz: Thanks FMM! Last night was a blast!
	12:19pm Listener Robert: Interesting also that they're Mid-Coast Radio Project. There's the East Coast and the West Coast, so Kansas City must be the Middle Coast.
	♥ 12:20pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello Pseu & Hookers! Hey prof.fuzz - great show last night, it was great to meet you! Hey McGroovey, LesleyK!
	♥ 12:21pm McGroovey: All hail Psych-O-Positive, Creek and Kills, and the Prof.Fuzz 63! Huzzah!
	12:21pm prof.fuzz: Good to meet you, Mike. Thanks for coming!
	♥ 12:21pm Bill in W.O.: Mid-Coast is yet another TX brag and KC ain't coastal to anything, but sure, irony. Off to a great start today, Pseu!
	♥ 12:23pm Mike From Brooklyn: @McGroovey - Huzzah is right!
	12:23pm prof.fuzz: Denton TX is No-Coast… Woot woot!
	♥ 12:24pm Jack McGuire: Hey, that was Young Guv, not the old Guv.
	12:25pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Melenas reminds me of Stereolab, maybe its the jangly guitar drone and the organ.
	12:25pm prof.fuzz: Chinese food picnic in the van. Sweet and sour sauce balanced precariously on the dashboard… Hooks streaming. Fun times.
	♥ 12:27pm full metal monkey: Prof. No cheese steak sandwiches?
	12:29pm prof.fuzz: FMM: For dinner. We’re sitting outside of Princeton right now
	♥ 12:30pm Travisano66: Missed opportunity. Should have been "Why you gotta be the judge? We were just having fudge."
	12:30pm Hydroplane: I wish I was at PREX right now
	12:31pm Andres: prof.fuzz: You’re making me hungry and worry about sweet and sour sauce spilling and getting inside the dashboard!
	12:31pm Andres: Or down the windshield vents!
	12:32pm Spunky Monkey: WOW!
	12:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Professor Fuzz-there is a thing that attaches to your steering wheel that acts as a tray. Its a bit hokey but worth looking into if your steering wheel would work with it, you need proper spokes configuration.
	12:36pm Andres: I like to rest a doughnut on the dashboard. Although I need to move it before cornering.
	12:36pm prof.fuzz: I’ll check into that Wild Neil!
	12:39pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This one looks ok...and universal...www.amazon.com...
	♥ 12:39pm Bimbus Bambus: Hook'n and lure'n
	♥ 12:40pm full metal monkey: Wild Neil. That thing is hilariously cool
	12:42pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Full Metal Monkey-there is a plastic version my boss's wife got for him, he never used it. The wooden thing is pretty sweet to be sure. I HATE eating in my car, however. One time my boss invited me to a business lunch and it consisted of going to Arby's for sandwhiches (I hate Arby's) then to McDonalds for fries, and eating in the parking lot. I guess you can take the driver out of trucking, but.....
	12:43pm prof.fuzz: We’re getting ready to roll. We’ll be listening but not chatting. Stay well.
	♥ 12:44pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Tom Skinner (Sons of Kemet)
	♥ 12:44pm Analog Nights: Do Hudson Yards and Occulus count as malls?
	♥ 12:46pm arb: last time in a mall: gawking at a cro-nut called "avocado dicaprio" in yogyakarta. I was there for the AC
	12:46pm ?: Last time I went to a mall was YESTERDAY buying pants for my kid who insists on only wearing rust colours. What stuck out to me: 2PAC. I hear the kids are into Kate Bush now, but what's up with 2Pac? I know he never went away, but I swear every 2nd teenager at the mall had a 2Pac shirt. Is this like 80s teens wearing Doors shirts?
	12:46pm PuraVida: Last time in a mall Pseu, Multiplaze in Escazú Costa. Rica, just outside of San José taking pictures of the 6 foot high painted Coca Cola bottle exhibition there. There were 50+ different painted bottles all by different artists...
	12:47pm gmt221: last time I went to the mall was earlier this week, not to buy anything, me and a friend were just walking and talking and it made for a good circle
	♥ 12:47pm Pseu Braun: HELLO MALL GOERS!!!!
	♥ 12:47pm swivs: Only cuz you said "drop a hot one": Stashu and I wanted to go throw the frisbee around at the park but all I have are combat boots. So, we went to the mall to get me sneakers, found the arcade and never went to the park. The end.
	♥ 12:47pm paddy in matawan: former mall rat. malls are pretty gross now. smoking on the tracks and playing Crusin USA at The Game Room was the shit tho.
	12:48pm piker62: Come on man, I went to the mall last Sunday to remind me what it was like outside the house. It's not as much fun when everyone is wearing masks, but the eye makeup game is epic now.
	12:48pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Coronado Mall in Albuquerque. Looking for sandals. No luck. Went to Amazon later instead. Glad Kate Bush is a thing. I read you can get Unknown Pleasures T shirts (Joy Division album) at K-mart now. My neice in Poland sports a Def Leppard shirt from 1982 or so.
	♥ 12:48pm Niall: Oo, @arb! Are you no longer in my Monday night rotation? To that I say "no. no. no no no. no."
	♥ 12:48pm arb: i'm engulfed by strip malls in LA but I don't think that's what you meant
	♥ 12:49pm Jack McGuire: Gawd, I luv 2nd Grade.
	♥ 12:49pm Chris In Raleigh: New blood Pseu! Honestly I cannot remeber exactly when I was last in a mall. Some time in 2019 most likely Crabtree Mall in Raleigh NC, before the pandemic.
	12:49pm Hopalong Lightnin': Our local hospital just bought our mall. Get ready for dropping your teens off for their orthoscopic knee surgery.
	12:49pm PuraVida: My mall growing up was the Livingston Mall...
	♥ 12:49pm paddy in matawan: hoodbridge was better than menlo
	♥ 12:49pm arb: Hi and lol Niall! I hope to come back in the fall! (my couplet to you)
	♥ 12:49pm Niall: I've never been to LA, but a weekend in Houston really made me appreciate strip malls after a lifetime of disdain.
	♥ 12:50pm nathan: do strip malls count? i think i got towels at BB&B. cool story, right?
	♥ 12:50pm Pseu Braun: ARB hello that's what I meant. I like the idea of a mall ganging up on a neighborhood.
	♥ 12:50pm Niall: @arb: It is well, then.
	♥ 12:50pm Krys O.: I think the last time I was in a mall was 10 years ago or so. It was the Willowbrook Mall. I didn't even go to the Galleria in White Plains when that was the thing to do in high school in the late 70s. Shopping trips would give me a headache. I hate dawdling. I know what I'm looking for and then I get out, unless it was the olden times of Salvation Army browsing.
	♥ 12:50pm Pseu Braun: @nathan cool story
	♥ 12:51pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Last mall, SteepleGate in Concord, NH. Wife was there for an eye exam. 75% of the stores were empty. Kinda depressing.
	♥ 12:51pm nathan: thanks!!
	♥ 12:51pm Roberto: arb! Yes, please come back!
	♥ 12:51pm drr: I went to a mall in Austin TX that had two hotels and an apartment complex in it. I needed to buy a MagSafe adapter that day. The Apple store was slammed, the Microsoft store was empty.
	♥ 12:51pm paddy in matawan: My town has the best strip mall in existence. Brewery / restaurant, bowling, hibachi, itallian market, liquor store, taco bell, kfc, cluck u, ..... laundromat, RIP bagels, new restaurant coming, euro wax...
	♥ 12:51pm drr: That was 2016.
	♥ 12:52pm Chris In Raleigh: Hey you Jersey people what was the Mall on rt 35 south of Eatontown?
	12:52pm piker62: Dawn of the Dead had it wrong. When the zombies rise, they'll all be at home shopping on Amazon
	12:52pm Andres: At the local mall, there is a store that is rockin tees and skate shoes up front and then sex toys and bongs in the back. Many a parent is seen quickly shuffling their kids out.
	♥ 12:52pm drr: Paddy: would that be Matawan?
	♥ 12:52pm MrDeb: I'm fresh blood and none of the other kids at this f-ing lunch table will play with me, to mix a metaphor. Went recently to a mall in Flushing that has a Chinese food court in the basement where non-Chinese speakers are SHIT OUT OF LUCK as 99% of the menus are not in English and it was delicious and very fun
	♥ 12:52pm Fishtown Mike: Mall? So f'in suburban. I hear they have cheesecake factories there. Probably been in a mall to use the can.
	♥ 12:53pm Mike Sin: The original Garden State Plaza was cool up until the end of the 1980s because it was indeed a true "mall" -- that is, you had to walk around outside and enter the stores through their separate entrances. Y'know, just like they shopped in ancient Rome!. The Sam Goody record store in the GSP at the time was downright awesome -- it was the place for cool imports.
	♥ 12:53pm Jack McGuire: Chopping Mall is a fantastic movie
	♥ 12:53pm paddy in matawan: @drr yeah baby, technically aberdeen but debatable
	12:53pm jameson 57: Kate Bush song is featured on show Stranger Things. Kids hear Kate Bush there
	♥ 12:54pm Chris In Raleigh: @Mike Sin, I liked Paramus Park better!
	♥ 12:54pm arb: hi roberto! I don't make the schedule, I only live according to it. Still doing Cha Cha Heels on Sunday nights :)
	♥ 12:54pm Krys O.: Ooh, Mr. Deb. You reminded me of pre-Covid gatherings with friends for authentic Chinese banquets. Yes, the menus were in Chinese and our friend who hosted the dinners, would make the selections.
	12:54pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: 90% of Albuquerque is strip malls. About 25% of those are faux-dobe. In Santa Fe thats about 75% Faux0dobe. Rockwaway Mall was the premium mall growing up for me. Are they even open still?
	♥ 12:54pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @MrDeb: So you just point at a photo and hope for the best?
	12:54pm PuraVida: I'm old enough to remember when the Mall at Short Hills was a strip mall...
	12:55pm jameson 57: this sweet potato is orange like this song. Funny, huh?
	♥ 12:55pm Bill in W.O.: Last time I was at a mall was two weeks ago when I got my 2nd booster at the deserted now old Sears at Livingston Mall but I guess that kinda doesn't count. I was at the Valley of Malls recently, always enjoy going back there.
	♥ 12:55pm Pseu Braun: Monmouth Mall (rt 35) has the MC ASPCA in it!
	♥ 12:56pm Krys O.: @Mike Sin: I believe my ex worked at the Sam Goody in Paramus in the late 70s/early 80s.
	♥ 12:56pm paddy in matawan: Goody got it!
	♥ 12:56pm Mike Sin: @Chris In Raleigh -- Paramus Park was cool in my youth, but it was like a jungle Jim for maniacal kids at the time. Jumping in that fountain and all that... noisy as hell too. The Harmony Hut record store in there was worth it though -- they had rows and rows of oldies 45s for the picking.
	♥ 12:56pm Chris In Raleigh: Thank you Pseu! When AT&T dragooned me to work in Middletown back in the 90s that was my Mall!
	♥ 12:57pm Analog Nights: SoHo is basically an outdoor mall.
	♥ 12:57pm MrDeb: @WoodsofNH aka Maine yes! or ask someone eating something that looks good what they're eating. Makes things exciting in this age where too many of us are too isolated and take few chances and spend too much time researching each darn crumb we consume (myself included) if you ask me
	12:58pm Patster: Remember Harmony Hut at GSP mall in the ‘70s?
	12:58pm Andres: The malls of my youth all had fountains or waterfalls. Those are no more around here.
	♥ 12:58pm Jason from Houston: Ohhhhhhh! Love this Prekop...
	♥ 12:58pm queems: i was at that pier mall in atlantic city a few weeks ago, and that place is DEAD. had 3 or 4 open stores in the whole thing. it was like a perfectly preserved luxury ghost town. willowbrook, on the otherhand, is alive and well as of last weekend
	12:59pm jameson 57: Once asked the kid at Sam Goody's if they had the new Sade album. He looked at me confusedly. No clue. Kinda sad.
	♥ 12:59pm paddy in matawan: old menlo was so weird
	12:59pm PuraVida: We had Essex Green in West Orange, the best outdoor mall ever (ask Paul Blart, Mall Cop)
	♥ 1:00pm Krys O.: We had great shopping plazas in my town. Korvette's was the anchor store and they had an awesome record department. There was a head shop in that plaza that my older siblings took me to. I have a vivid memory of touching an apple seed necklace and having it break apart and spill out on the floor. Everybody was too stoned to get angry at me.
	♥ 1:00pm MrDeb: @Analog Nights 100%. Me and my friends have called it that (e.g. "I gotta go to the mall) since the late 90s when I worked there on a thing called a MAGAZINE.
	♥ 1:00pm Jason from Houston: Ain't been to a mall in a few years. When I was a youth, I would smoke cigarettes in the food court at my local spot.
	♥ 1:01pm Chris In Raleigh: "She was a Jewish I fell in love with her I forgot to tell her that I didnt eat meat". True story of Paramus Park. It happened to me, or Dean Friedman!
	♥ 1:01pm Niall: Gosh, I'd forgotten about Sam Prekop; I thought this was Crayon Fields.
	♥ 1:01pm BLCKDGRD: Laugh, I was Sea and Caking last night, love Prekop's and Prewitt's solo stuff too
	♥ 1:01pm Mike Sin: @Krys O -- getting to that Sam Goody was an exciting treat for me because, as I didn't drive at that age and it was a bit out of the way from where we lived, I'd be waiting for the word that my folks, older sister, or some friends were going there. I would get lost in that Sam Goody store for hours.
	♥ 1:02pm Niall: MrDeb: Those places are the best if you don't mind the fish out of water feeling.
	♥ 1:02pm Bill in W.O.: Aren't all malls of everybody's youth dead? Cycle of life, or something? But Essex Green, still there, here to tell.
	1:03pm PuraVida: The Inner Eye on Bloomfield Ave (not a mall), our head shop growing up became the site of NJ's first medical mariijuana dispensary. Karma...
	♥ 1:03pm MrDeb: @Pseu belated thanks for the intro to Ibibio Sound Machine: amazing
	♥ 1:04pm Chris In Raleigh: I used to buy my CDs at an independent record store on Broad Street in Red Bank (aka New Jersey's hippest town!)
	♥ 1:05pm Niall: Is Vintage Vinyl still around? A girl I dated from West Long Branch took me there. Such a happy memory.
	♥ 1:05pm Pseu Braun: Jack's Music Shoppe, still there, @Chris in raleigh ... great memories
	♥ 1:05pm Pseu Braun: Vintage Vinyl is lost to history, sadly.
	♥ 1:05pm Niall: "Oh, my dreams / Are never quite what they seem..."
	♥ 1:06pm Niall: @Pseu Braun: as is almost every record store I've set foot in, probbaly.
	1:06pm Andres: Malls of my youth went from shades of beige and brown to blinding white.
	1:07pm jameson 57: this sweet potato paired with the bellvita cranberry orange cracker is quite tasty
	♥ 1:08pm Mike From Brooklyn: As a kid, my mall was the Nanuet Mall in Rockland County. (I wasn't born and raised in Brooklyn as my misleading handle suggests, though I've lived in Brooklyn for most of my adult life.) I had to hold my breath if I entered through Macy's. All the perfume from the perfume samplers was literally sickening. The mall had a record store. Probably Sam Goody. I don't remember.
	♥ 1:08pm Chris In Raleigh: Pseu, Jack's yes! Oh I have such happy memories of Red Bank! That and Gunnison Beach the things I liked best about Monmouth County!
	♥ 1:10pm Chris In Raleigh: @Mike oh the spray girls in Macy's b-ah!
	♥ 1:11pm Analog Nights: Malls were all about cassingles for me 87-92
	♥ 1:12pm Niall: @Mike From Brooklyn: I know Nanuet! My cousins moved there from Queens in the mid-90s. I remember a couple decent indie CD stores, though they didn't sell the stuff I was into - that would have been Digital Underground in Philly, Isolation Tank in Jenkintown or Cafe Soundz in Montclair.
	♥ 1:12pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Late 70's mall for me was about Spencers and the Crumb "Stoned Agin" blacklight poster.
	♥ 1:13pm Mike Sin: @Mike in Brooklyn -- the record in the Nanuet Mall throughout the '70s and '80s was "Music Den." And, if you were looking for flashy shirts, you had to stop at Chess King.
	♥ 1:13pm Chris In Raleigh: A friend of the family owns The Bop Shop in Rochester NY, if you want to make the trip over 10k vinyl albums for sale!
	♥ 1:13pm Chris In Raleigh: Keep on truckin' WoodsOfNH.
	1:14pm Andres: My one and only is Suzanne Vega, DNA - Tom’s Diner. Still gold.
	1:15pm Andres: *cassingle
	♥ 1:15pm Mike Sin: The best part of the Nanuet Mall for an oversexed teenage maniac? The gigantic "Fredrick's of Hollywood" with its window displays.
	♥ 1:15pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Chris In Raleigh: Ha! Right.
	1:16pm UFOspecialist: 3DC in the AM w/ JA!
	♥ 1:16pm Chris In Raleigh: @Mike beat's where I was cruising mall chicks in high school - Woolworths!!!
	♥ 1:17pm efd: WFMU on Twitter is just a bunch of blather, really
	♥ 1:19pm full metal monkey: Can not wait for my swag. I have to start filling up another dresser drawer with more wfmu tee shirts.
	♥ 1:19pm Mike From Brooklyn: @Mike Sin - Yes! The Music Den! I also vaguely remember Chess King now that you mention it. And "Fredrick's of Hollywood" was certainly not lost my 16 year old self.
	1:21pm jameson 57: Mike Damone of Fast Times fame ruled that mall with his ticket scalping
	♥ 1:21pm Bill in W.O.: WFMU on Twitter is pretty solid. I mean, YMMV but there was a thing yesterday about a buncha old New Wave Theatre episodes on archive.org that I didn't know about and maybe that's on me but I thought it was pretty swell.
	♥ 1:23pm McGroovey: I grew up to far from the mall to hang out there. My sisters wanted to, though, and one of them even bought a car without mom & dad's permission so she could do it. It was 20 miles away.
	1:23pm Andres: Yes, that tweeter account is a rabbit hole of good reading.
	♥ 1:24pm Bimbus Bambus: Wore my WFMU cat t-shirt last week and someone passing me right outside my front door, without making eye contact, said "best radio station ever."
	♥ 1:25pm full metal monkey: @bimbus. Ish I had the cat shirt
	♥ 1:25pm Mike From Brooklyn: @Bimbus Bambus - Was that the Cat Pyramid shirt? That was one of my favorite WFMU shirts. Sadly I lost it while travelling.
	♥ 1:25pm full metal monkey: Wish lol
	♥ 1:25pm Krys O.: @Niall: Haven't thought about Cafe Soundz in ages. Did you ever go to Crazy Rhythms in Montclair? My ex worked there for 16 years.
	♥ 1:28pm steveo: sounds like summer!
	1:34pm Andres: Sometimes my searches produce terrible results. “soup by guppy” was one of those. Found them by other means.
	♥ 1:36pm Roberto: Yas Charlotte Hatherley!
	♥ 1:37pm xtrakrispy: that new London Suede tune was great...
	♥ 1:37pm steveo: i searched for "guppy soup" and got a recommendation for a seafood restaurant near me
	♥ 1:37pm Niall: @Krys O.: That rings no bells for me, sorry!
	1:37pm morphe': Andreas - "Soup," by Guppy sounds better than Guppy Soup...
	♥ 1:40pm Bimbus Bambus: Nice one, Pseu
	1:40pm EG_Astro: yessss asshhhhhhhhhhhh it's been too long thank u
	♥ 1:41pm Bimbus Bambus: Thanks for not playing the track where they're just barfing on the floor
	1:45pm Andres: morphe’: With a good stock as its base it might be okay.
	♥ 1:51pm McGroovey: Howdy, Dayffid!
	1:52pm morphe': Niall was out and about ... sent ya the Ballyguin post code = pale yellow house on the left of the Bohreen on the way down to the Strand ...
	♥ 1:55pm Mike From Brooklyn: Regarding the Paramus Park Mall, which was close-ish but not my local, I recall a cool store that sold fiber optic lamps. It might have also sold black light posters, though that might have been a different store.
	1:57pm Gerry from Miami: Whew! I am so excited to be back in the fold of this terrific Thursday afternoon staple on WFMU. A cascade of circumstances has prevented me from cozying up to Pseu's unique weekly program for far too long. But now I am here once more and digging the grooves as I once did. Thanks to you, Pseu. Your impeccable taste in new and vintage sounds has not diminished one bit!
	♥ 1:59pm Mike From Brooklyn: @Niall - Cool! I also recall a couple of non-chain record stores near Nanuet though I can't name them. There was Sam Goody somewhere though. Maybe next to Rickles?
	♥ 2:02pm Bill in W.O.: I don't usually suck up (much) but today's had a serious "hit after hit" vibe and I am very likely going back on it later just because I need to research some stuff.
	♥ 2:02pm McGroovey: spygenius emits an interesting and entertaining word salad.
	2:02pm Spunky Monkey: Yes.... Duncan
	2:05pm Mike tp: in on Duncan. for a sec thought it might be incredible string band.very sweet.hi pseu and the enjoyeres..
	2:05pm Gerry from Miami: Was just reading about Elvis Costello's latest album(he calls it an EP). "The one we should have made when we were 18," EC remarks. All this music comes from the era before his first "official" release, "My Aim Is True." Brinsley Schwartz, Nick Lowe and even Neil Young tunes are well represented. Due out in about a week. Haven't seen a pre-release copy at the station yet, have you Pseu?
	♥ 2:07pm drr: Eleanor Rigby II.
	♥ 2:10pm McGroovey: one of them is me : I'm sniffing back the tears. [Sniff]
	♥ 2:12pm LesleyK: Hi Mike from Brooklyn and everyone.. Mike, just saw your hello earlier in chat (had to jump off chat earlier due to work)
	♥ 2:12pm Chris In Raleigh: Nice cover.
	♥ 2:13pm drr: Second time hearing this McGuinn tune this week, it was on American Top 40 on WTIX last Sunday.
	♥ 2:14pm drr: Sounds like they asked Jimmy Buffett for production help.
	♥ 2:16pm Michael Shelley: Hey y'all!
	♥ 2:17pm Chris In Raleigh: Hi Michael Shelley!
	2:18pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	2:18pm Gerry from Miami: Howdy, Michael! Pseu's playing some super stuff today! As usual!
	♥ 2:20pm LesleyK: Cocteau Twins-- blast from my past!
	♥ 2:20pm McGroovey: And yet someone still managed to cover Lorelei.
	2:20pm katharsis: Hello Pseu and hooked ones. Haven’t heard this one in a while.
	♥ 2:23pm drr: Really liked that Andrew Gold, new one to me.
	♥ 2:24pm joe mulligan: Cocteau Twins' "Lorelai" bringing me back to a 1985 radio show I taped from University of Delaware's Cutting Edge alternative program
	♥ 2:25pm jamesegio: Closest mall growing up was Livingston, where there was a Sam Goody. Didn't find much that i liked there except for the expensive Jem import bin. Once i had a vehicle, Montclair had all my record and head needs met - 80s to 90s.
	♥ 2:25pm waters7: Purr.
	2:25pm morphe': Just Got a God Save the Queen Sex Pistols link from my 70 Y/O Madrid English -Spanish landlord for the Jubilation

	♥ 2:44pm drr: The Mommyheads are the opposite of background music.
	2:48pm Gerry from Miami: @drr. Yes, sorta like the Violent Femmes or Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. Hard to ignore.

	2:57pm Sam: How come you can't buy hash in any of these new cannabis dispensaries? Meanwhile, you go to Europe, and pretty much all you can get is hash.
