	🕰 ♥ 6:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:52 I didn't mention, thanks for the reminder! Hey Gregory!
	♥ 6:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "On Top of Old Smokey" by "Grant Green" very early dates for hancock /workman…huh….
	🕰 ♥ 6:56pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "It's A Dance" by "Michel Petrucciani Trio" I didn't expect that rhythm section.
	♥ 6:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "It's A Dance" by "Michel Petrucciani Trio" peacock /haynes an interesting happenstance
	🕰 ♥ 6:57pm WR: ↳ Song: "On Top of Old Smokey" by "Grant Green" TTtPS, your mentioning "very early dates" triggered me to look again and see the 1962 recording date. I had seen the 1969 release date and was totally wondering how they would sound like that in '69.
	♥ 6:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ WR @6:57 ah….
	🕰 ♥ 6:59pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:56 Peacock/Haynes and Gomez/Foster are the two rhythm sections on "Michel Plays Petrucciani" -- this tour seems to be in support of that album. I chose this track in part because it was Gomez/Foster on the studio record.
	🕰 ♥ 6:59pm newton: ↳ WR @6:57 I remember that song from 1962 but a different version
	♥ 7:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ WR @6:57 maybe if they were playing at a knights of columbus or something like that
	🕰 ♥ 7:00pm kwatts: ↳ Song: "On Top of Old Smokey" by "Grant Green" Reminds me to dig out Jimmy Smith's version of "On Top of Spaghetti."
	🕰 ♥ 7:01pm newton: ↳ kwatts @7:00 all covered with cheese! surely that was kapp records?
	🕰 ♥ 7:05pm WR: ↳ Song: "Remembering the Future" by "Dave Liebman, Billy H... These guys played The Stone in 2023? I need to pay better attention to what goes on there.
	🕰 ♥ 7:07pm newton: ↳ newton @7:01 holy moley www.discogs.com...
	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm newton: ok I'll stop
	♥ 7:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Remembering the Future" by "Dave Liebman, Billy H... this is good… the dave liebman who played w/ miles davis?
	♥ 7:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:08 the education of weird al yankovic
	🕰 ♥ 7:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:07 don't stop never stop! and you had the year and everything!
	🕰 ♥ 7:25pm newton: ↳ newton @7:07 but I had that record, that cover art. sure it was a favorite of mine in 1963. Milton Glasser!
	🕰 ♥ 7:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Napanoch" by "Quest" Call me a moldy fig, but I like this better than the Stone performance (last set).
	🕰 ♥ 7:30pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Lonely Woman" by "Quest" love how they kinda dance around the main theme, it's enough to make you go "is that lonely woman? sounds like loney woman... are they just quoting it?"
	🕰 ♥ 7:30pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:28 Where did that expression come from? "Moldy Fig"? Also: "long hair"?
	🕰 ♥ 7:31pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @7:30 well, I have some experience with that well, not the long hair part
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:31 hahaha! fig newton!
	♥ 7:34pm tom tom the pipers son: what’s anthony davis playing if not piano… are there 2 pianos
	🕰 ♥ 7:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Oh: Littoral Tales - High Tide" by "Gloria Cheng" Only one pianist (Cheng): she commissioned jazz people to notate pieces for her. iverson.substack.com...
	♥ 7:36pm tom tom the pipers son: i always feel like knocking the hats off modern players heads…. no the classic guys
	♥ 7:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:36 ah….thx
	🕰 ♥ 7:37pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:36 I like hats
	🕰 ♥ 7:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:37 me too! as does my dermatologist!
	7:38pm Little Danny: Hello!
	♥ 7:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:37 yes you’d look nice in the model gloria is wearing...
	🕰 ♥ 7:39pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @7:38 yes
	7:39pm Charles: We're having heavy rain here and this is a nice mood
	🕰 ♥ 7:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @7:38 Dan the Man! Danny the Manny?
	🕰 ♥ 7:39pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:39 I have some panamas too I wear in the sun. Hello little Danny
	🕰 ♥ 7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Charles @7:39 hopefully the "tide" part isn't inspiring the rain
	♥ 7:40pm tom tom the pipers son: i don’t mind hats except sometimes they have a “personality” that goes too far
	7:40pm Listener Gregory: Moldy fig is from the bebop era, referring to those lame critics/listeners who thought the new music was unlistenable. Who coined it, I don’t know. I have always thought that “longhairs” was from the classical world, referring to European artists who played esoteric music. Don’t ask me how I came to this conclusion, but I think in popular culture, images of classical musicians often had quite long hair.
	🕰 ♥ 7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:40 you have to have the confidence to wear a hat, otherwise the hat wears you
	♥ 7:41pm coelacanth∅: good evening Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 7:41pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:40 usually that;s under the hat, yet oozing
	♥ 7:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:40 thanks LG
	🕰 ♥ 7:43pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:41 someone on here has a car that is around 9 minutes in to Burn Witch Burn (I have it on the other screen with sound offff) I think its a triumph with a front end like a bug eye sprite
	♥ 7:43pm tom tom the pipers son: it comes down to ‘i don’t like gloria cheng’s hat’ so there...
	🕰 ♥ 7:44pm DJ Peter: hey coelcanthø! now that we have a critical mass, I have a survey question: those of you with record collections, how do you clean your records? I had the regular "discwasher" brush for decades and recently upgraded to the "spin-clean" but i'm not sure it's effective.
	♥ 7:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:43 closed that tab
	🕰 ♥ 7:45pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 Dip them in GP
	🕰 ♥ 7:45pm pot8o: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 i used to absolutely refuse to clean them (i was doing marclay-esque stuff with them so i wanted them to sound all dirty and crackly) but i've mellowed out since and i clean them every time i play them
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm newton: it's the needles you need to clean, especially if you share them
	7:47pm Little Danny: Hey newton :)
	7:48pm Listener Gregory: It seems that “moldy fig” started earlier than I thought and then was revived in the bebop era: ‘Moldy figs are purist advocates of early jazz, originally those such as Rudi Blesh, Alan Lomax, and James Jones, who argued that jazz took a wrong turn in the early 1920s with developments such as the introduction of printed scores. Blesh, for example, dismissed the work of Duke Ellington as "tea dansant music" with no jazz content whatever.”’ Duke Ellington—total sell-out!
	♥ 7:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:43 a tr-3 or tr-4, if it's who i'm thinking of. kind of a self-righteous snob. but we may not be thinking of the same person! (and i don't know what burn witch burn is!)
	7:50pm Little Danny: Really enjoying this
	🕰 ♥ 7:50pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:48 I think you are spot on. BWB stupid occult movie haphazardly mentioned earlier, link above
	♥ 7:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:48 ellington! but understand moldy figs pov…. not moldy at all… just about improvisation
	♥ 7:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 i've used the discwasher since i was a teenager (so, the original one. it was bought by ...rca? and they turned it to crap) but i bought a spin-clean just 3 years ago and i wish i'd bought one decades ago! i think it's excellent, for the price, and ease of use. i still use the discwasher right before every play.
	♥ 7:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:47 gotta clean those too
	🕰 ♥ 7:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:52 i have a little brush that I use before each play. the spin-clean doesn't seem to reach the innermost track (if there's a small run-out groove)?
	♥ 7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "You Were Meant for Me" by "Meade Lux Lewis" like this…. one of the things monk absorbed from stride was it’s definitive “touch"
	🕰 ♥ 7:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "You Were Meant for Me" by "Meade Lux Lewis" Take THAT, Mel Powell!
	♥ 7:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @7:53 i don't push the brushes down quite all the way
	🕰 ♥ 7:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:54 that would make them easier to get out after, too. I'll give it a try!
	7:55pm bigplanetnoise: Hey DJ Peter - loving the show!
	♥ 7:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:50 it's a sweet ride though!
	🕰 ♥ 7:55pm Listener Gregory: If you'd asked me when Meade Lux Lewis died, I would have guessed 1952. Incredible that he is playing this way in the 60s.
	♥ 7:55pm tom tom the pipers son: the only other jazz celeste player i klnow is sun ra...
	🕰 ♥ 7:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ bigplanetnoise @7:55 welcome big planet noise! thematically speaking, you should enjoy what's coming up!
	♥ 7:56pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Bob!
	♥ 7:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Celeste Blues" by "Meade Lux Lewis" i want this album
	🕰 ♥ 7:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:55 There's a swing-era pianist who did a famous set on celeste... Count Basie? Fats Waller?
	♥ 7:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:57 oh…i can imagine eitrher but esp waller
	7:58pm bigplanetnoise: Hey Coel!
	8:03pm Jeff g. via app: It’s true.

	8:05pm bigplanetnoise: Love this
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app @8:03 me pestering jeff with photos of MF Flute rekkids
	♥ 8:06pm tom tom the pipers son: thought it was interesting watching a 70’s nba highlight reel, the soundtrack was all flute….
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm doctorjazz: Been out to dinner, NYC, will catch the rest on my drive home. Hi DJP and Clockmeisters!
	♥ 8:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Saturn" by "Moe Koffman" has Moe really visited all those planets or is he pulling our leg?
	🕰 ♥ 8:10pm DJ Peter: Hey doc! no UCB tonight?
	♥ 8:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @8:09 Happy birthday, Doctor!
	🕰 ♥ 8:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Earth" by "Moe Koffman" anybody seen RevRab lately? I need someone to read that album cover and determine the date based on the planets!
	🕰 ♥ 8:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Earth" by "Moe Koffman" I see that Pluto got a composition. Oops!
	🕰 ♥ 8:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:16 look it's part of the system, no matter the classification!
	♥ 8:18pm coelacanth∅: i heard it reapplied for planetary status
	🕰 ♥ 8:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Earth" by "Moe Koffman" Anyone have any Sonny Greenwich records? I see he has a duet album with Ed Bickert on Sackville, that's now on my list
	🕰 ♥ 8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @8:18 ooh and a Paul Bley duo record
	8:24pm Jeff g. via app: That was cool.
	8:25pm Bryan the Interloper: No objection here, DJ Peter!
	♥ 8:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Li'l Darlin'" by "Pat Williams" this looks like the same crew of ladies that posed for electric ladyland!
	🕰 ♥ 8:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ Bryan the Interloper @8:25 your affirmation has been noted, Bryan!
	🕰 ♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:26 hmm. they look hipper here, IMHO
	🕰 ♥ 8:28pm newton: pluto's disqualifier, that it hasnt kept house - gravitationally cleared its orbit of other objects - is really mass bias.
	🕰 ♥ 8:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @8:27 back cover i.discogs.com...
	🕰 ♥ 8:29pm newton: ↳ newton @8:28 ever since kepler they are expected to sweep every day, equal areas, like havent they ever heard of freeform?
	♥ 8:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:27 you're saying stark nudity isn't hip?!
	8:30pm Bryan the Interloper: it's classic
	🕰 ♥ 8:30pm newton: who needs to sweep when you have the vacuum of space?
	♥ 8:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:28 hahaha
	🕰 ♥ 8:31pm newton: those "other objects" are celestial feng shui
	🕰 ♥ 8:32pm newton: for me, Pluto is a planet, and is pretty far out!
	🕰 ♥ 8:33pm WR: ↳ Song: "My Funny Valentine" by "Ruby Braff and Ellis Lark... grrr. Stop it, I had heretofore been successful convincing myself that I can do without that Mosaic release.
	♥ 8:37pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:32 this makes me realise how Far Out Productions, Inc dropped the ball when designing their logo
	8:38pm Jeff g. via app: This crazy.
	🕰 ♥ 8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app @8:38 It's your thing
	🕰 ♥ 8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @8:39 do what you gonna do
	8:40pm arlo: this is not in my collection of caravans! Love it. Hey, everybody. Thanks, Peter, been digging for a minute or 20.
	🕰 ♥ 8:41pm DJ Peter: arlo! how are the trade winds today?
	🕰 ♥ 8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Scorpio Rising" by "Walter Davis, Jr." I have this Walter Davis album and thought it was tremendous, but he never got much publicity or recordings by the major labels… that I saw.
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:41 very much underappreciated! had a 60s Blue Note and everything, why didn't it make a bigger splash?
	♥ 8:43pm coelacanth∅: hey arlo!
	🕰 ♥ 8:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Jimmy Owens" In spite of myself, I can’t help foot-tapping. Well done groove.

	♥ 8:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Jeff g. via app @8:52 haha
	♥ 8:53pm coelacanth∅: ...i don't know what's true; but if Jeff G says it, it's true.
	🕰 ♥ 8:54pm DJ Peter: Only look at Mike Lupica's playlist if you're not worried about your mouth watering wfmu.org...
	♥ 8:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:54 is donald trump inside? ...i guess that's mean to the hogs.
	🕰 ♥ 8:56pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:56 dont liek to think about that pulled pork
	🕰 ♥ 8:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Aire for Trumpet" by "Alec Wilder" This would be about the most unusual station break music I ever heard on commercial radio.
	♥ 8:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:56 a few hours ago was thinking about a bartender/friend that i haven't seen except in passing, for a few years now. every summer he has a party in his yard. i've never attended because every year they have a whole pig on a spit.
	8:59pm bigplanetnoise: Thanks, DJ P!!
	🕰 ♥ 8:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter. I give my qualified approval of the show, keeping in mind that I didn't hear the first hour and so can make no judgment on that—yet. Great diverse selection of cuts.

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from May 18, 2025

View DJ Peter's profile

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

	♥ 6:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "It's A Dance" by "Michel Petrucciani Trio" peacock /haynes an interesting happenstance
	🕰 ♥ 6:57pm WR: ↳ Song: "On Top of Old Smokey" by "Grant Green" TTtPS, your mentioning "very early dates" triggered me to look again and see the 1962 recording date. I had seen the 1969 release date and was totally wondering how they would sound like that in '69.
	♥ 6:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ WR @6:57 ah….
	🕰 ♥ 6:59pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:56 Peacock/Haynes and Gomez/Foster are the two rhythm sections on "Michel Plays Petrucciani" -- this tour seems to be in support of that album. I chose this track in part because it was Gomez/Foster on the studio record.

	🕰 ♥ 7:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Napanoch" by "Quest" Call me a moldy fig, but I like this better than the Stone performance (last set).
	🕰 ♥ 7:30pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Lonely Woman" by "Quest" love how they kinda dance around the main theme, it's enough to make you go "is that lonely woman? sounds like loney woman... are they just quoting it?"
	🕰 ♥ 7:30pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:28 Where did that expression come from? "Moldy Fig"? Also: "long hair"?

	🕰 ♥ 7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Charles @7:39 hopefully the "tide" part isn't inspiring the rain
	♥ 7:40pm tom tom the pipers son: i don’t mind hats except sometimes they have a “personality” that goes too far
	7:40pm Listener Gregory: Moldy fig is from the bebop era, referring to those lame critics/listeners who thought the new music was unlistenable. Who coined it, I don’t know. I have always thought that “longhairs” was from the classical world, referring to European artists who played esoteric music. Don’t ask me how I came to this conclusion, but I think in popular culture, images of classical musicians often had quite long hair.
	🕰 ♥ 7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:40 you have to have the confidence to wear a hat, otherwise the hat wears you
	♥ 7:41pm coelacanth∅: good evening Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 7:41pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:40 usually that;s under the hat, yet oozing
	♥ 7:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:40 thanks LG
	🕰 ♥ 7:43pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:41 someone on here has a car that is around 9 minutes in to Burn Witch Burn (I have it on the other screen with sound offff) I think its a triumph with a front end like a bug eye sprite
	♥ 7:43pm tom tom the pipers son: it comes down to ‘i don’t like gloria cheng’s hat’ so there...
	🕰 ♥ 7:44pm DJ Peter: hey coelcanthø! now that we have a critical mass, I have a survey question: those of you with record collections, how do you clean your records? I had the regular "discwasher" brush for decades and recently upgraded to the "spin-clean" but i'm not sure it's effective.
	♥ 7:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:43 closed that tab
	🕰 ♥ 7:45pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 Dip them in GP
	🕰 ♥ 7:45pm pot8o: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 i used to absolutely refuse to clean them (i was doing marclay-esque stuff with them so i wanted them to sound all dirty and crackly) but i've mellowed out since and i clean them every time i play them
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm newton: it's the needles you need to clean, especially if you share them
	7:47pm Little Danny: Hey newton :)
	7:48pm Listener Gregory: It seems that “moldy fig” started earlier than I thought and then was revived in the bebop era: ‘Moldy figs are purist advocates of early jazz, originally those such as Rudi Blesh, Alan Lomax, and James Jones, who argued that jazz took a wrong turn in the early 1920s with developments such as the introduction of printed scores. Blesh, for example, dismissed the work of Duke Ellington as "tea dansant music" with no jazz content whatever.”’ Duke Ellington—total sell-out!
	♥ 7:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:43 a tr-3 or tr-4, if it's who i'm thinking of. kind of a self-righteous snob. but we may not be thinking of the same person! (and i don't know what burn witch burn is!)
	7:50pm Little Danny: Really enjoying this
	🕰 ♥ 7:50pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:48 I think you are spot on. BWB stupid occult movie haphazardly mentioned earlier, link above
	♥ 7:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:48 ellington! but understand moldy figs pov…. not moldy at all… just about improvisation
	♥ 7:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 i've used the discwasher since i was a teenager (so, the original one. it was bought by ...rca? and they turned it to crap) but i bought a spin-clean just 3 years ago and i wish i'd bought one decades ago! i think it's excellent, for the price, and ease of use. i still use the discwasher right before every play.
	♥ 7:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:47 gotta clean those too
	🕰 ♥ 7:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:52 i have a little brush that I use before each play. the spin-clean doesn't seem to reach the innermost track (if there's a small run-out groove)?
	♥ 7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "You Were Meant for Me" by "Meade Lux Lewis" like this…. one of the things monk absorbed from stride was it’s definitive “touch"
	🕰 ♥ 7:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "You Were Meant for Me" by "Meade Lux Lewis" Take THAT, Mel Powell!
	♥ 7:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @7:53 i don't push the brushes down quite all the way
	🕰 ♥ 7:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:54 that would make them easier to get out after, too. I'll give it a try!
	7:55pm bigplanetnoise: Hey DJ Peter - loving the show!
	♥ 7:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:50 it's a sweet ride though!
	🕰 ♥ 7:55pm Listener Gregory: If you'd asked me when Meade Lux Lewis died, I would have guessed 1952. Incredible that he is playing this way in the 60s.
	♥ 7:55pm tom tom the pipers son: the only other jazz celeste player i klnow is sun ra...
	🕰 ♥ 7:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ bigplanetnoise @7:55 welcome big planet noise! thematically speaking, you should enjoy what's coming up!
	♥ 7:56pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Bob!
	♥ 7:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Celeste Blues" by "Meade Lux Lewis" i want this album
	🕰 ♥ 7:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:55 There's a swing-era pianist who did a famous set on celeste... Count Basie? Fats Waller?

	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm doctorjazz: Been out to dinner, NYC, will catch the rest on my drive home. Hi DJP and Clockmeisters!
	♥ 8:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Saturn" by "Moe Koffman" has Moe really visited all those planets or is he pulling our leg?

	♥ 8:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @8:09 Happy birthday, Doctor!
	🕰 ♥ 8:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Earth" by "Moe Koffman" anybody seen RevRab lately? I need someone to read that album cover and determine the date based on the planets!
	🕰 ♥ 8:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Earth" by "Moe Koffman" I see that Pluto got a composition. Oops!
	🕰 ♥ 8:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:16 look it's part of the system, no matter the classification!
	♥ 8:18pm coelacanth∅: i heard it reapplied for planetary status
	🕰 ♥ 8:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Earth" by "Moe Koffman" Anyone have any Sonny Greenwich records? I see he has a duet album with Ed Bickert on Sackville, that's now on my list

	8:25pm Bryan the Interloper: No objection here, DJ Peter!
	♥ 8:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Li'l Darlin'" by "Pat Williams" this looks like the same crew of ladies that posed for electric ladyland!
	🕰 ♥ 8:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ Bryan the Interloper @8:25 your affirmation has been noted, Bryan!
	🕰 ♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:26 hmm. they look hipper here, IMHO
	🕰 ♥ 8:28pm newton: pluto's disqualifier, that it hasnt kept house - gravitationally cleared its orbit of other objects - is really mass bias.
