	♥ 7:05pm Gary: Chresti, howdy!
	♥ 7:07pm Franco Twinkie: Shall we trip?
	♥ 7:07pm coelacanth∅: greetings Gary and Bodegatrons
	♥ 7:07pm Gary: Good evening, Franco and Ceola-C!
	7:08pm northguineahills: mutlu mujdeler, arladaslar!
	♥ 7:09pm chresti: Those guys look pretty baked
	♥ 7:09pm Gary: Hey there, NGH!
	♥ 7:09pm Gary: They're just 'avin' a larf, Chresti!
	♥ 7:10pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, your back inside? I gave up trying to work outside and fell asleep.
	♥ 7:11pm hyde: hello! just back from Houston, so might be scarce tonight. listening!
	♥ 7:13pm Gary: Hyde, you gotta not be scarce and tell us about Houston -- you know how much I wanna go
	♥ 7:13pm coelacanth∅: around spring i ate in a turkish restaurant in my town and the music was fantastic. i asked the waiter and he gave me the name of his spotify playlist, which i listened to a lot for a few weeks. he described it -i forget but he named 3 artists, the beatles being one and Jimi Hendrix i think...said it was like the turkish equivalent. anyway it's psych. i might even recognise some of the songs tonight.
	♥ 7:14pm coelacanth∅: Franco yeah it's brutal out there right now! 130% humidity!
	♥ 7:14pm hyde: @Gary hot tip: if you ever get to Houston, the Hong Kong City Mall still has a pretty big Vietnamese DVD/CD store with lots of stuff priced at 2$. I got a few CDs that look like they're singers from the 70's I didn't know.
	♥ 7:15pm Franco Twinkie: OY!
	♥ 7:16pm hyde: also, Hong Kong City Mall is not far from Pho Dien, where i had the best pho i've ever eaten
	♥ 7:16pm Gary: Holy Shit, Hyde -- I'm jealous already
	♥ 7:16pm coelacanth∅: ('course i don't think that's possible but i wish i could've come inside and gone to sleep. my paying gig though.) hey hyde!
	♥ 7:17pm Gary: If only there was some sort of social ... I don't know ... network? Where you could share photos, Hyde
	♥ 7:17pm Franco Twinkie: Over this way, only 95 degrees but it feels like 110...according to the Weather Underground.
	♥ 7:20pm Franco Twinkie: That settles it Hyde, Vietnamese for dinner.
	7:20pm βrian: 64°F here. It's nice not to have to turn on the AC. The windows are open and the breezes are soft.
	♥ 7:21pm coelacanth∅: i think it was only maybe 80ºf here today but it stormed heavy before. i had to walk the grounds after to see if a tree came down because it sounded like it. just a 12' piece of molding came off the house. i thought that would blow out some humidity but it was much worse after. the windows are all dripping.
	♥ 7:21pm Franco Twinkie: Where is "here" Brian?
	♥ 7:21pm Gary: βrian!
	7:23pm northguineahills: I only got TS winds here, but it was after I went to sleep, no damage or power outages...
	♥ 7:23pm hyde: also Houston is really sprawling and not built for pedestrians. So it's ride share all over when you go. But that's not too expensive there and it let's you know what an immigrant city this is--I got picked up by citizens who had moved from Jamaica, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, etc. The Fine Arts Museum and the Menil Collection are world class. It's hot, but there's usu. a breeze from the Gulf. The landscape is kind of strange--it's strip malls like crazy and there is no zoning so it's all a jumble. But that also means that a residential neighborhood might hold a great bbq joint or a weird bar or maybe there's a strip club next to the church. (I exaggerate, but that's kind of the urban setup.)
	7:23pm βrian: @FT: Why, the Isthmus 'tween the lakes. Madison, WI.
	♥ 7:25pm Gary: @Hyde: Great, now I need a motorcycle
	♥ 7:26pm hyde: lastly, the food. it's unbelievable. Great barbecue, rafts of regional Mexican food, Tex-Mex, breakfast tacos and the Vietnamese choices are incredible.
	♥ 7:27pm hyde: hiya coel!
	7:28pm northguineahills: hyde: I always wanted to hit the Rothko Chapel and dj screw's old record store, but the latter is now closed....
	♥ 7:31pm Franco Twinkie: Rafts of regional Mexican food. I like that! It conjures images of combination plates floating through the shipping channels.
	♥ 7:31pm hyde: @ngh the dang Rothko Chapel is closed for restoration until 2020, so I didn't get to see it! argh. but the Menil collection surrealist and African and Oceanic works made that a totally worthwhile visit anyhow. (especially cause it's free!)
	♥ 7:31pm hyde: @Franco ha! also, you already live somewhere with rafts of regional Mexican food.
	♥ 7:32pm Franco Twinkie: It's never enough!
	♥ 7:40pm Franco Twinkie: I saw a great Rothko show at UC Berkeley a long time ago. The gallery there is a peculiar two story affair that reminds me of a mall. But, like the mall you can look at everything down below from the upper deck, which is kind of great.
	7:43pm northguineahills: I want to hear Morton Feldman's "Rothko Chapel" in Rothko Chapel. (I believe they did a performance there four years ago).
	♥ 7:43pm Rich in Washington: This is fantastic, Gary!
	♥ 7:45pm Gary: Rich, come on in!
	7:45pm northguineahills: @hyde: I just got a shipment of mexi ingredients from my mum-in-law from Mexico, so I'm the source for Mexi food here. The Mexican places that cater Mexicans here are fine, but are too meat focused for my tastes. Still have yet to find a place w/ decent menudo....
	♥ 7:46pm Gary: I had a terrific nopales taco this weekend
	♥ 7:55pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, oh man, a couple of weeks ago I was at the farmers market and one of the guys I get stone fruit from was eating a tub of menudo. He said he got it from this place on the corner that I've never had occasion to go into because it just looks like a lame-ass burger joint. Boy was I wrong! The burger trappings are just a clever disguise. I took a tub of menudo home and had my mind blown.
	♥ 7:57pm Rich in Washington: This is nuts. You're not doing anything to this in the studio are you, Gary?
	♥ 7:58pm Gary: Nope, just listening
	♥ 7:58pm Asheville Jon: is this supposed to sound like this? all choppy and insane?
	♥ 7:59pm Gary: Asheville Jon, yes! Y'all know I like to play one or two tracks of the crazy ass shit
	♥ 7:59pm nostrangerer: Great dance music!
	♥ 8:00pm Asheville Jon: not complaining, just curious!
	8:00pm northguineahills: @deanco: still looking for the elusive Menudo album cover of them eating menudo..(in menudo)…..
	♥ 8:01pm Franco Twinkie: Shit Gary, Just hearing that bums me out. Our bodega (we call it a tiendita) which we can walk to just closed there doors forever. They always had fresh nopale salad in the cold case that they would make in the store.
	♥ 8:02pm Gary: Howdy, nostrangerer!
	♥ 8:05pm Rich in Washington: I thought it was brilliant. Been digging those recent FKR releases by Gökçen Kaynatan and Durul Gence.
	8:06pm Flash Strap: Hi Gary, hello all you true bolievers!
	8:06pm melinda: Hi friends
	8:07pm rw: Howdy! No glitches that I could detect. But what do I know.
	8:07pm northguineahills: I miss bodegas. all of mine were run by Yemenis, and when I asked what music they were playing, they started to give me cassetes (even in the 2010s....)
	8:07pm northguineahills: (all of my bodegas in Brooklyn)
	8:08pm Flash Strap: can't really hang, usually the case for me on Wednesday nights, but wanted to drop in and say: as ever, this show is explosive, amazing
	♥ 8:10pm Gary: Flash! Melinda! RW! Nice to see you guys
	8:10pm melinda: @hyde Houston is now the most ethnically diverse city in the US.
	8:11pm melinda: I hear JCS
	♥ 8:13pm Gary: B-b-but, Melinda ... Queens?
	8:16pm rw: Menudo scares me a little. Chorizo too.
	8:17pm northguineahills: I actually prefer Trader Joe's veggie chorizo (and I like meat sausages)
	♥ 8:17pm Parq: Saying a quick hi before reporting for KP.
	8:18pm rw: I’m worried it will blow more than my mind
	♥ 8:18pm Gary: Parq!
	8:19pm melinda: @Gary dunno. It makes sense that Houston would be more attractive to immigrants than NYC based on current cost of living these days.
	8:19pm JakeGould: Queens is pretty ethically diverse. Brooklyn too. Whenever I contemplate leaving this very expensive and harsh metropolis I realize that it’s not so great elsewhere. And HELLO GARY!
	8:20pm JakeGould: ETHNICALLY!!!
	♥ 8:22pm Gary: Jake!
	♥ 8:23pm Franco Twinkie: RW. I understand. I grew up eating the shit, so you would think I was totally down with tripe....Not so! Years ago Chresti and I worked in a mannequin factory in East L.A. We had a food truck come by for lunch that had tripe burritos. I thought what the hell, and got one. I couldn't eat it! The tripe was out of context.
	♥ 8:25pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): greetings, Gary and Bodegans!
	♥ 8:26pm Gary: Granny S-T!
	8:34pm melinda: Menudo scares me too.
	♥ 8:39pm Franco Twinkie: Don't sweat it, Melinda. The only white people I know who eat menudo are Chresti and my brother-in-law.
	♥ 8:53pm chresti: I used to like the canned menudo
	8:56pm melinda: @Franco and my uncle.
	8:57pm melinda: Canned menudo sounds even more scary.
	♥ 8:59pm chresti: I also liked Beefaroni for a time
	9:00pm freak: absolute madness right now trialing volunteers. im glad to have this to listen to
	♥ 9:01pm chresti: man!
	♥ 9:03pm Little Danny: Tuned in 10 minutes ago. Dang, epic show unfolding!
	♥ 9:04pm TDK60: Hello Gary and bodega popsters.
	♥ 9:05pm Gary: Freak, welcome! Danny and TDK! Nice to see you krazy kids!
	♥ 9:10pm TDK60: ..was tonight's photo already discussed? where/when/who?
	♥ 9:11pm Gary: Erkin Koray with John and Yoko, but I don't know who the Fourth Beatle is
	9:11pm northguineahills: Tripe soup is the best hangover helper.... (found a place in DF (Mex City) that did it perfect)
	♥ 9:17pm TDK60: thanks.
	9:22pm melinda: I’m in the process of packing all my stuff right now, emptied an old accordion file and decided to give it one last shake before tossing and out came two twenty dollar bills!
	♥ 9:22pm Gary: Sweet!
	♥ 9:24pm melinda: Great photo, couldn't see it while on app.
	9:28pm rw: Way digging the show tonight! I'm going to send a link to a Turkish friend from work but I'm pretty sure she isn't into this sort of stuff! Melinda, Score!!
	♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: backtracking because i've been away from the comments... i never knew menudo was a food! (i knew it was a singing group. that's as far as i got.)
	♥ 9:31pm melinda: I'm trying to remember now why I put cash in an accordion file. I think I thought it was like keeping it under a mattress or something.
	♥ 9:35pm coelacanth∅: i used to hide cash (& herb) in various places, when i didn't need it all right away. would find it sometimes years later in the inside pocket of a corduroy jacket or a book or under a rug. (sometimes the herb wasn't worth much anymore)
	9:36pm Johnzon: great set! thanks for getting up early to prep... as someone who has an abnormally hard time getting out of bed I appreciate ya!
	♥ 9:37pm melinda: Gerat show tonight Gary
	♥ 9:37pm Gary: Thanks, Johnzon and Melinda!
	♥ 9:39pm Parq: What those guys said. Great trippy, hazy sounds.
	♥ 9:40pm coelacanth∅: definitely revisiting this when i'm home. this music deserves volume.
	9:40pm northguineahills: I had a friend who bought a polyester leisure suit at a thrift store and found a gigantic bag of blow in the inside jacket pocket. it was still good after 35+ years.
	9:41pm rw: Melinda, I'm putting a couple $20s in an accordion file right now. I know a guy who, on his first date with the woman who is now his wife, felt something in the pocket of the shirt he had bought at a garage sale, pulled it out and presented it to her saying, "I have something for you". It turned out to be a diamond ring!
	♥ 9:41pm TDK60: the stringed solo instrument sounds like a tanbur. I want one; anyone have one in the attic they don't want?
	9:42pm rw: Ha! ngh, we just told the same story!!
	♥ 9:43pm nostrangerer: I've enjoyed the selections you've played for us tonight Gary and salute you efforts at pronouncing the names and titles. It does occur to me that none us knowing the language that we don't know what kind sentiments we are tapping our toes to.
	♥ 9:44pm melinda: @ngh that's hilarious @rw what a great story
	9:44pm rw: Putting a couple 20s in an accordion file and buying all my clothes at the thrift shop from now on!
	♥ 9:45pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, This is most likely no solution to your predicament, but what the hell: When I was in high school I went with a friend to his grandfathers house. They sat on the couch and played guitars. Out of the blue, the grandfather asked me if I liked menudo. When I said yes, he got up and went into the kitchen and got a can of soup and said very emphatically "This is excellent! Menududito brand." and stabbed the label with his finger. It would have made a great commercial, because he looked like an Apache Indian - long black hair with a rag tied around his head, a bright red plaid flannel shirt and fringed moccasin boots.
	♥ 9:46pm coelacanth∅: ngh i bought a car for $300. a few years back. the guys who sold it to me said the owner died in his early 50s. thing was rotted out and leaked when it rained and the driver side window fell into the door about a year later. (but it ran amazingly and the traney was perfect too) when i took the panel off to fix it i found a vial which i was to determine was grey horse. (i did not try it)
	9:47pm rw: coel, how much did you get for the horse?
	9:48pm northguineahills: ha, Franco! I've never seen a can of menudo, coel!
	♥ 9:48pm Gary: Stick around for the great Larry Grogan's Testify! Boy Meets Girl - A Celebration of Male/Female Duets beginning at 10 PM tonight: wfmu.org...
	9:49pm Funky16Corners: Gary!
	♥ 9:49pm coelacanth∅: rw i Love that story. (and i don't care if it's true or not!)
	♥ 9:49pm Gary: Larry!
	♥ 9:50pm TDK60: Thanks for the Anatolian psychedelia, Gary. How do ya say "very paisley" in Turkish?
	♥ 9:50pm nostrangerer: I know that not knowing the language is a hazard that come with the Bodega Pop category but a few of the ernest songs that didn't sound like love or party songs really had me wondering.
	♥ 9:51pm Gary: Çok paisley
	9:52pm rw: cc, I think it's true! They both told it to me together and had answers to my own questions of disbelief!
	♥ 9:52pm chresti: Totally tripped out! thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:53pm coelacanth∅: oh, rw yeah i did something some people would say is bad. i asked someone i knew (still know) if he could identify it. i told him what i thought it was. he said he'll bring it to someone to find out and i figured i'd never see it again and i didn't care. i later mentioned this to someone who said "you didn't know that Hans is a smack addict?". no, i didn't. oh well...he would've gotten some from somewhere.
	9:53pm rw: Oh, and they said they returned the ring to the woman who had held the garage sale.
	♥ 9:56pm coelacanth∅: wow the story gets better and better!
	♥ 9:56pm Franco Twinkie: This was a top five show Gary.
	9:56pm rw: Not so bad. He def would have found some somewhere. And he's still around, so that's something!
	9:58pm rw: Super Bodega this evening Gary! Did you say you were going to Turkey? Have a great trip if I heard correctly!!
	♥ 9:58pm chresti: and then she stuffed it in a pocket and sold it again @rw?
	9:59pm northguineahills: Thanks, Gary!
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: rw yes he's still amongst us. crazy motherfucker has an amazing constitution.
	9:59pm rw: Ha! Chresti. Who knows? Like an episode of Fantasy Island or something.
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night, everyone!
	♥ 8:14pm passiflora: 🪴

	♥ 7:11pm hyde: hello! just back from Houston, so might be scarce tonight. listening!
	♥ 7:13pm Gary: Hyde, you gotta not be scarce and tell us about Houston -- you know how much I wanna go
	♥ 7:13pm coelacanth∅: around spring i ate in a turkish restaurant in my town and the music was fantastic. i asked the waiter and he gave me the name of his spotify playlist, which i listened to a lot for a few weeks. he described it -i forget but he named 3 artists, the beatles being one and Jimi Hendrix i think...said it was like the turkish equivalent. anyway it's psych. i might even recognise some of the songs tonight.
	♥ 7:14pm coelacanth∅: Franco yeah it's brutal out there right now! 130% humidity!
	♥ 7:14pm hyde: @Gary hot tip: if you ever get to Houston, the Hong Kong City Mall still has a pretty big Vietnamese DVD/CD store with lots of stuff priced at 2$. I got a few CDs that look like they're singers from the 70's I didn't know.
	♥ 7:15pm Franco Twinkie: OY!
	♥ 7:16pm hyde: also, Hong Kong City Mall is not far from Pho Dien, where i had the best pho i've ever eaten
	♥ 7:16pm Gary: Holy Shit, Hyde -- I'm jealous already
	♥ 7:16pm coelacanth∅: ('course i don't think that's possible but i wish i could've come inside and gone to sleep. my paying gig though.) hey hyde!
	♥ 7:17pm Gary: If only there was some sort of social ... I don't know ... network? Where you could share photos, Hyde
	♥ 7:17pm Franco Twinkie: Over this way, only 95 degrees but it feels like 110...according to the Weather Underground.
	♥ 7:20pm Franco Twinkie: That settles it Hyde, Vietnamese for dinner.
	7:20pm βrian: 64°F here. It's nice not to have to turn on the AC. The windows are open and the breezes are soft.
	♥ 7:21pm coelacanth∅: i think it was only maybe 80ºf here today but it stormed heavy before. i had to walk the grounds after to see if a tree came down because it sounded like it. just a 12' piece of molding came off the house. i thought that would blow out some humidity but it was much worse after. the windows are all dripping.
	♥ 7:21pm Franco Twinkie: Where is "here" Brian?
	♥ 7:21pm Gary: βrian!
	7:23pm northguineahills: I only got TS winds here, but it was after I went to sleep, no damage or power outages...
	♥ 7:23pm hyde: also Houston is really sprawling and not built for pedestrians. So it's ride share all over when you go. But that's not too expensive there and it let's you know what an immigrant city this is--I got picked up by citizens who had moved from Jamaica, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, etc. The Fine Arts Museum and the Menil Collection are world class. It's hot, but there's usu. a breeze from the Gulf. The landscape is kind of strange--it's strip malls like crazy and there is no zoning so it's all a jumble. But that also means that a residential neighborhood might hold a great bbq joint or a weird bar or maybe there's a strip club next to the church. (I exaggerate, but that's kind of the urban setup.)
	7:23pm βrian: @FT: Why, the Isthmus 'tween the lakes. Madison, WI.
	♥ 7:25pm Gary: @Hyde: Great, now I need a motorcycle
	♥ 7:26pm hyde: lastly, the food. it's unbelievable. Great barbecue, rafts of regional Mexican food, Tex-Mex, breakfast tacos and the Vietnamese choices are incredible.
	♥ 7:27pm hyde: hiya coel!
	7:28pm northguineahills: hyde: I always wanted to hit the Rothko Chapel and dj screw's old record store, but the latter is now closed....
	♥ 7:31pm Franco Twinkie: Rafts of regional Mexican food. I like that! It conjures images of combination plates floating through the shipping channels.
	♥ 7:31pm hyde: @ngh the dang Rothko Chapel is closed for restoration until 2020, so I didn't get to see it! argh. but the Menil collection surrealist and African and Oceanic works made that a totally worthwhile visit anyhow. (especially cause it's free!)
	♥ 7:31pm hyde: @Franco ha! also, you already live somewhere with rafts of regional Mexican food.
	♥ 7:32pm Franco Twinkie: It's never enough!
	♥ 7:40pm Franco Twinkie: I saw a great Rothko show at UC Berkeley a long time ago. The gallery there is a peculiar two story affair that reminds me of a mall. But, like the mall you can look at everything down below from the upper deck, which is kind of great.
	7:43pm northguineahills: I want to hear Morton Feldman's "Rothko Chapel" in Rothko Chapel. (I believe they did a performance there four years ago).
	♥ 7:43pm Rich in Washington: This is fantastic, Gary!
	♥ 7:45pm Gary: Rich, come on in!
	7:45pm northguineahills: @hyde: I just got a shipment of mexi ingredients from my mum-in-law from Mexico, so I'm the source for Mexi food here. The Mexican places that cater Mexicans here are fine, but are too meat focused for my tastes. Still have yet to find a place w/ decent menudo....
	♥ 7:46pm Gary: I had a terrific nopales taco this weekend
	♥ 7:55pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, oh man, a couple of weeks ago I was at the farmers market and one of the guys I get stone fruit from was eating a tub of menudo. He said he got it from this place on the corner that I've never had occasion to go into because it just looks like a lame-ass burger joint. Boy was I wrong! The burger trappings are just a clever disguise. I took a tub of menudo home and had my mind blown.
	♥ 7:57pm Rich in Washington: This is nuts. You're not doing anything to this in the studio are you, Gary?
	♥ 7:58pm Gary: Nope, just listening
	♥ 7:58pm Asheville Jon: is this supposed to sound like this? all choppy and insane?
	♥ 7:59pm Gary: Asheville Jon, yes! Y'all know I like to play one or two tracks of the crazy ass shit
	♥ 7:59pm nostrangerer: Great dance music!
	♥ 8:00pm Asheville Jon: not complaining, just curious!
	8:00pm northguineahills: @deanco: still looking for the elusive Menudo album cover of them eating menudo..(in menudo)…..
	♥ 8:01pm Franco Twinkie: Shit Gary, Just hearing that bums me out. Our bodega (we call it a tiendita) which we can walk to just closed there doors forever. They always had fresh nopale salad in the cold case that they would make in the store.
	♥ 8:02pm Gary: Howdy, nostrangerer!
	♥ 8:05pm Rich in Washington: I thought it was brilliant. Been digging those recent FKR releases by Gökçen Kaynatan and Durul Gence.
	8:06pm Flash Strap: Hi Gary, hello all you true bolievers!
	8:06pm melinda: Hi friends
	8:07pm rw: Howdy! No glitches that I could detect. But what do I know.
	8:07pm northguineahills: I miss bodegas. all of mine were run by Yemenis, and when I asked what music they were playing, they started to give me cassetes (even in the 2010s....)
	8:07pm northguineahills: (all of my bodegas in Brooklyn)
	8:08pm Flash Strap: can't really hang, usually the case for me on Wednesday nights, but wanted to drop in and say: as ever, this show is explosive, amazing
	♥ 8:10pm Gary: Flash! Melinda! RW! Nice to see you guys
	8:10pm melinda: @hyde Houston is now the most ethnically diverse city in the US.
	8:11pm melinda: I hear JCS
	♥ 8:13pm Gary: B-b-but, Melinda ... Queens?
	8:16pm rw: Menudo scares me a little. Chorizo too.
	8:17pm northguineahills: I actually prefer Trader Joe's veggie chorizo (and I like meat sausages)
	♥ 8:17pm Parq: Saying a quick hi before reporting for KP.
	8:18pm rw: I’m worried it will blow more than my mind
	♥ 8:18pm Gary: Parq!
	8:19pm melinda: @Gary dunno. It makes sense that Houston would be more attractive to immigrants than NYC based on current cost of living these days.
	8:19pm JakeGould: Queens is pretty ethically diverse. Brooklyn too. Whenever I contemplate leaving this very expensive and harsh metropolis I realize that it’s not so great elsewhere. And HELLO GARY!
	8:20pm JakeGould: ETHNICALLY!!!
	♥ 8:22pm Gary: Jake!
	♥ 8:23pm Franco Twinkie: RW. I understand. I grew up eating the shit, so you would think I was totally down with tripe....Not so! Years ago Chresti and I worked in a mannequin factory in East L.A. We had a food truck come by for lunch that had tripe burritos. I thought what the hell, and got one. I couldn't eat it! The tripe was out of context.
	♥ 8:25pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): greetings, Gary and Bodegans!
	♥ 8:26pm Gary: Granny S-T!
	8:34pm melinda: Menudo scares me too.
	♥ 8:39pm Franco Twinkie: Don't sweat it, Melinda. The only white people I know who eat menudo are Chresti and my brother-in-law.
	♥ 8:53pm chresti: I used to like the canned menudo
	8:56pm melinda: @Franco and my uncle.
	8:57pm melinda: Canned menudo sounds even more scary.
	♥ 8:59pm chresti: I also liked Beefaroni for a time
	9:00pm freak: absolute madness right now trialing volunteers. im glad to have this to listen to
	♥ 9:01pm chresti: man!
	♥ 9:03pm Little Danny: Tuned in 10 minutes ago. Dang, epic show unfolding!
	♥ 9:04pm TDK60: Hello Gary and bodega popsters.
	♥ 9:05pm Gary: Freak, welcome! Danny and TDK! Nice to see you krazy kids!
	♥ 9:10pm TDK60: ..was tonight's photo already discussed? where/when/who?
	♥ 9:11pm Gary: Erkin Koray with John and Yoko, but I don't know who the Fourth Beatle is
	9:11pm northguineahills: Tripe soup is the best hangover helper.... (found a place in DF (Mex City) that did it perfect)
	♥ 9:17pm TDK60: thanks.
	9:22pm melinda: I’m in the process of packing all my stuff right now, emptied an old accordion file and decided to give it one last shake before tossing and out came two twenty dollar bills!
	♥ 9:22pm Gary: Sweet!
	♥ 9:24pm melinda: Great photo, couldn't see it while on app.
	9:28pm rw: Way digging the show tonight! I'm going to send a link to a Turkish friend from work but I'm pretty sure she isn't into this sort of stuff! Melinda, Score!!
	♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: backtracking because i've been away from the comments... i never knew menudo was a food! (i knew it was a singing group. that's as far as i got.)
	♥ 9:31pm melinda: I'm trying to remember now why I put cash in an accordion file. I think I thought it was like keeping it under a mattress or something.
	♥ 9:35pm coelacanth∅: i used to hide cash (& herb) in various places, when i didn't need it all right away. would find it sometimes years later in the inside pocket of a corduroy jacket or a book or under a rug. (sometimes the herb wasn't worth much anymore)
	9:36pm Johnzon: great set! thanks for getting up early to prep... as someone who has an abnormally hard time getting out of bed I appreciate ya!
	♥ 9:37pm melinda: Gerat show tonight Gary
	♥ 9:37pm Gary: Thanks, Johnzon and Melinda!
	♥ 9:39pm Parq: What those guys said. Great trippy, hazy sounds.
	♥ 9:40pm coelacanth∅: definitely revisiting this when i'm home. this music deserves volume.
	9:40pm northguineahills: I had a friend who bought a polyester leisure suit at a thrift store and found a gigantic bag of blow in the inside jacket pocket. it was still good after 35+ years.
	9:41pm rw: Melinda, I'm putting a couple $20s in an accordion file right now. I know a guy who, on his first date with the woman who is now his wife, felt something in the pocket of the shirt he had bought at a garage sale, pulled it out and presented it to her saying, "I have something for you". It turned out to be a diamond ring!
	♥ 9:41pm TDK60: the stringed solo instrument sounds like a tanbur. I want one; anyone have one in the attic they don't want?
	9:42pm rw: Ha! ngh, we just told the same story!!
	♥ 9:43pm nostrangerer: I've enjoyed the selections you've played for us tonight Gary and salute you efforts at pronouncing the names and titles. It does occur to me that none us knowing the language that we don't know what kind sentiments we are tapping our toes to.
	♥ 9:44pm melinda: @ngh that's hilarious @rw what a great story
	9:44pm rw: Putting a couple 20s in an accordion file and buying all my clothes at the thrift shop from now on!
	♥ 9:45pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, This is most likely no solution to your predicament, but what the hell: When I was in high school I went with a friend to his grandfathers house. They sat on the couch and played guitars. Out of the blue, the grandfather asked me if I liked menudo. When I said yes, he got up and went into the kitchen and got a can of soup and said very emphatically "This is excellent! Menududito brand." and stabbed the label with his finger. It would have made a great commercial, because he looked like an Apache Indian - long black hair with a rag tied around his head, a bright red plaid flannel shirt and fringed moccasin boots.
	♥ 9:46pm coelacanth∅: ngh i bought a car for $300. a few years back. the guys who sold it to me said the owner died in his early 50s. thing was rotted out and leaked when it rained and the driver side window fell into the door about a year later. (but it ran amazingly and the traney was perfect too) when i took the panel off to fix it i found a vial which i was to determine was grey horse. (i did not try it)
	9:47pm rw: coel, how much did you get for the horse?
	9:48pm northguineahills: ha, Franco! I've never seen a can of menudo, coel!
	♥ 9:48pm Gary: Stick around for the great Larry Grogan's Testify! Boy Meets Girl - A Celebration of Male/Female Duets beginning at 10 PM tonight: wfmu.org...
	9:49pm Funky16Corners: Gary!
	♥ 9:49pm coelacanth∅: rw i Love that story. (and i don't care if it's true or not!)
	♥ 9:49pm Gary: Larry!
	♥ 9:50pm TDK60: Thanks for the Anatolian psychedelia, Gary. How do ya say "very paisley" in Turkish?
	♥ 9:50pm nostrangerer: I know that not knowing the language is a hazard that come with the Bodega Pop category but a few of the ernest songs that didn't sound like love or party songs really had me wondering.
	♥ 9:51pm Gary: Çok paisley
	9:52pm rw: cc, I think it's true! They both told it to me together and had answers to my own questions of disbelief!
	♥ 9:52pm chresti: Totally tripped out! thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:53pm coelacanth∅: oh, rw yeah i did something some people would say is bad. i asked someone i knew (still know) if he could identify it. i told him what i thought it was. he said he'll bring it to someone to find out and i figured i'd never see it again and i didn't care. i later mentioned this to someone who said "you didn't know that Hans is a smack addict?". no, i didn't. oh well...he would've gotten some from somewhere.
	9:53pm rw: Oh, and they said they returned the ring to the woman who had held the garage sale.
	♥ 9:56pm coelacanth∅: wow the story gets better and better!
	♥ 9:56pm Franco Twinkie: This was a top five show Gary.
	9:56pm rw: Not so bad. He def would have found some somewhere. And he's still around, so that's something!
	9:58pm rw: Super Bodega this evening Gary! Did you say you were going to Turkey? Have a great trip if I heard correctly!!
	♥ 9:58pm chresti: and then she stuffed it in a pocket and sold it again @rw?
	9:59pm northguineahills: Thanks, Gary!
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: rw yes he's still amongst us. crazy motherfucker has an amazing constitution.
	9:59pm rw: Ha! Chresti. Who knows? Like an episode of Fantasy Island or something.
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night, everyone!
	♥ 8:14pm passiflora: 🪴
