	9:02am Rick from SC: Morning all. Nice to be able to listen in real time.
	9:02am George of Troy: Ahoy, John
	9:03am sim: @Steveo. You've been missing out. JA starts with it quite often. He offered a vinyl 12" of the song as a DJ premium last year.
	9:03am John Allen: g'morning. Steveo, ironically I've never played rolnick in anything less than real time/ or sent an audio file to the station at 3am
	9:03am Snoochienucci: morning all, i missed the WnB this morning. Its my "day-off" although now they all feel like days off. Hope everyones doing good
	9:04am David (in London): Hello JA and all Allenites. (Hey steveo)
	9:04am David (in London): Hey Snoochie. You OK pal?
	9:04am John Allen: morninvg David
	9:04am p20: Hi JA, Snoochie, steveo, D(iL), everyone!
	9:04am Handy Haversack: Morning, all. Hey, Snooch!
	9:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Desperate times call for desperate measures which call out for Rolnick!
	9:05am John Allen: hey p20
	9:05am adampsyche: gm JA I love the record. my wife is beside herself rn but she'll just have to deal. lil suzie is what the world needs for healing.
	9:06am sim: And JA, thank you for everything! I liked your Phil F'n Collins pieces, too!
	9:06am Snoochienucci: hey Handy! @DIL im doing good, planning on going for a nice long bike ride this afternoon, try to clear the head a bit. Hows it going on your end?
	9:06am John Allen: hey Adam, we had to bring it back this week.
	9:07am adampsyche: steveo you've never tuned in for our weekly rolnick listen?
	9:07am Marley P. Dogg: Morning John - morning friends. Hope everyone is well
	9:08am Peter from Dover NJ: Checking in before I go out for a run... a cool rendition of this tune.
	9:08am TDK60: Was thinking of a bicycle ride today but not on the bike path--too close to others. Maybe will hit the more empty streets.
	9:10am David (in London): @Snoochie - Good plan I reckon. I'm fine. My wife is a keyworker, so I was driving her and supplies around this morning. With the sun shining, the windows down and the Ramones playing, it was a pretty good morning all told.
	9:10am Snoochienucci: @TDK my thoughts exactly, even riding around the lake by my house the other day i felt a little too close to all the walkers lol. But i guess we cant be overly paranoid too, some fresh air is always good. Plus may as well take advantage of those empty streets
	9:11am steveo: hey John. Strange times. Thanks for making it happen. (@sim i was just differentiating between internet stream and terrestrial radio signals)
	9:12am TDK60: ..yeh Snoochie. Where are you?
	9:13am Snoochienucci: @DIL exactly, like we were saying the other day, its hard to fully enjoy the beautiful days with all that is going on. But still important to enjoy them when we can
	9:13am Snoochienucci: @TDK im from wayne nj. hbu?
	9:14am TDK60: Washington Heights, Manhattan.
	9:14am sim: @Steveo. Ah. I remember 1st time I listened to WFMU live. It was JM in the AM. I was so confused.
	9:15am John Allen: hey Steveo, watch the seques today
	9:15am steveo: you know i'm a connoisseur
	9:16am John Allen: actually ya'll might want to turn down the volume at the mic breaks. I'll let you decide
	9:16am Snoochienucci: @TDK gotcha, must be alot more of a change in manhattan. Out here in the suburbs there is def less traffic, but alot more ppl walking around the streets now too. Its very odd, as im sure it is everywhere
	9:16am steveo: @sim clay's a much better intro to the station/day fer sure
	9:19am p20: @D(iL): The Ramones make everything better! And they remind us to stay 1 JRu apart.
	9:20am steveo: i hope there won't be a quiz, i totally missed the piano one, even after you warned me
	9:20am Handy Haversack: Is an imperial JRu any different, @David?
	9:22am TDK60: I prefer the Mick Fleetwood stay-away-unit. Isn't he 7 feet tall?
	9:22am David (in London): @p20 - That's probably why I chose them, wasn't it? And because I simply CANNOT feel bad when I am listening to 'I Wanna Be Sedated.'
	9:23am David (in London): TDK - I did raise the MFu with Handy, but our investigations didn't come to much. Try in and record the data.
	9:24am Handy Haversack: The MFu and the JRu are coterminous in the y axis, though MFu is much more expansive along the x axis.
	9:24am p20: I think we have to unite behind a single candidate, or things will get too splintered and confusing. Joey For Life!
	9:25am Handy Haversack: Agreed, @p20. Standards will save us!
	9:25am David (in London): Handy - I think all fields in pre-enclosure England were measured in rods, poles, perches and hymans, so he hold good here too. Especially in the Finsbury Park area. www.youtube.com...
	9:27am p20: I told my wife yesterday about the JRu. She said "You know, I'm 6 feet tall... I don't need to imagine Joey Ramone to know what 6 feet looks like". I'm over six feet myself but it just cheers me up to visualize Joey Ramone!
	9:27am Threemoons: Goood morning AM peeps
	9:27am Marley P. Dogg: Any good new releases today?
	9:27am Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	9:28am Threemoons: @rev I wish I had carrot cake. I'd make some but there's been a run on flour...
	9:28am p20: @D(iL): Good one! And I love "It's Alive!"!
	9:29am David (in London): @p20 - Exactly so. I like picturing Joey whenever I'm out and about.
	9:29am Threemoons: And in NYC we prefer the JRu for social distancing
	9:29am TDK60: John, you're emanating from a hunker bunker?
	9:30am Jeff formerly from Rahway: I baked a delicious bread w/invasive Japanese Knotweed growing in the park. Gotta forage locally in these apocalyptic times.
	9:30am John Allen: hey TDK, did the show last night on my computer w/o a mic, sent the show to scott early this morning
	9:30am Handy Haversack: Pre-Enclosure UK would have known how to react! The JRu has deep pastoral roots.
	9:32am p20: @JffR: I did not know that was edible. Good information!
	9:32am Doobois: Huzzah! Glad you're safe, JA. Nice and sunny right now...
	9:33am dale: are you somewhere off 209 mr deejay? could be worse places to hole up...
	9:33am TDK60: Oh yes, Scott and the other Skeletons are performing a great service.
	9:34am Jeff formerly from Rahway: @p20 that shit grows EVERYWHERE. Just google some recipes & go nuts!
	9:35am John Allen: hey Dale, i'm in the upper corner of Sullivan/ near Ulster border
	9:35am Andrew_in_WI: JAZZ
	9:35am TDK60: This just in: Ireland to nationalize its health system (but only temporarily).
	9:38am John Allen: Jazz says thanks for the shoutout Andrew
	9:38am David (in London): Handy - Yes indeed. There is, of course, the old Gloucestershire folk song, 'Joey O'er the Hedgerows Go', which was later adapted by Martin Carthy.
	9:41am Peter from Dover NJ: Quarantine Blues, how appropriate! <sings>Get me down / to the TB ward.</sings> Be safe in Sullivan County, JA
	9:43am p20: @TDK60: I've really been wondering how many of the necessary structural changes that are coming about because of this crisis will be un-done as soon as is it over. And if the citizens will stand for that.
	9:43am John Allen: thanks Peter, you do the same
	9:45am TDK60: p20- who knows? By the way, the US govt. just lifted EPA pollution rules. [sic] [sick]
	9:49am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, I'd like to know about the sound scientific logic for why increasing pollution is going to help people get over a virus.
	9:49am Crudbringer: CONSUME
	9:50am dale: mr allen....is the high falls weekend flea market open these days?
	9:50am Crudbringer: OBEY
	9:50am John Allen: well, I guess they figure masks are going to be pretty common for awhile
	9:51am John Allen: hey Dale, I bet not
	9:52am Crudbringer: I mean, uh, good morning, everyone.
	9:52am John Allen: CB, we knew what you meant
	9:53am Handy Haversack: I made bleach solution and sprayed down the doorknobs and locks. I am the Lizard King!!
	9:53am David (in London): Hey JA. McCoy is making the house swing. Great cut, great selection.
	9:55am John Allen: great David. Disclaimer, another 'mic' break coming
	9:55am p20: We've been spinning "Time for Tyner" a lot on the home turntable. A favorite at the p20 household.
	9:56am Earth Walker: Handy how about vinegar and an essential oil ?
	9:56am Earth Walker: Howdy all !
	9:57am Marley P. Dogg: Oh man this Tyner is good - well played JA
	9:57am p20: Going to have to track down a copy of this record too. I love this!
	9:57am p20: Hi Earth Walker!
	9:57am John Allen: excellent, TforT has those vibes/Hutcherson.
	9:57am Earth Walker: Eat drink and be merry
	9:57am p20: JA: And this one has Alice Coltrane playing harp!
	9:58am John Allen: what earth walker endorses
	9:58am Handy Haversack: Hey, Earth Walker: I picked up some white vinegar, too, so that's the next solution project. Just need another spray bottle. Any ratio advice? I don't think we have any essential oils? You get those from Pod People, right?
	9:59am p20: Eat Drink and Be Merry, but Don't Drink the Disinfectant!
	9:59am Earth Walker: TDK. U.S. Government = U.S. Terrorist organization
	9:59am David (in London): Hey Earth Walker. How are you pal?
	10:00am Toothgrinder Tom: Awesome astro-jazz
	10:00am Earth Walker: Skeletons keep those bones shaking !
	10:02am Crudbringer: ...why are you recording me while I'm in the shower?
	10:02am TDK60: Earth W., you're in Nice. How's it there?
	10:04am morphe': JA - according to the blurb on yer listen window.. you were supposed to play a dub tune after the jazz #??? ".. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool?...." Is that a real quote or you imitating a cranky listener? Seems real...
	10:05am John Allen: Morphe- very real to everyone except listener Ike
	10:06am sphere: dub is intrinsically cool.
	10:07am Rev. Turnip Druid: th'TREND.
	10:07am tak: amazzzziiiiiiiiiiing!!! good morning !!
	10:07am sphere: oh yeah. No Trend is one of the great unsung DC bands.
	10:08am Handy Haversack: Hey, @sphere. Click on p20's pizza and you can find a link to the list of books from yesterday's Modern World. p20 did the heavy lifting of collecting and sorting for us!
	10:08am Cmurtha: I always wanted to know where that quote came from. I always assumed it came from a rando. Morning everyone!
	10:09am sphere: huzzah! thanks for letting me know bout the list, Handy.
	10:09am John Allen: www.dragcity.com...
	10:09am Handy Haversack: Mad kudos still to p20 for putting it together. That was a super fun chat. I ... was eager to talk about books, it seems!
	10:10am Mike & Dusty: came running into the room thinking it was the Thrown-Ups
	10:10am TDK60: oh yeh Handy that list...
	10:10am David (in London): It felt like were all cooking with literary gas at that point.
	10:11am Handy Haversack: This tune is great! Never heard No Trend, I think.
	10:11am Crudbringer: CAREER DREAMS
	10:11am disantlor: i would believe that this was JA on vocals
	10:12am Crei6hton: Morning!
	10:12am morphe': No Trend has an oak aroma and tannins reminding me Of Velet U's THE GIFT?
	10:13am p20: Yeah that was a blast yesterday! I wanted to preserve the list we came up with, but you can add more at the bottom if you want
	10:14am Lixiviated Life: ... this is not jazz
	10:15am TDK60: ..you played dub once to be cool?
	10:15am tak: no trend is a must listen for anyone
	10:15am DJ Guin: PUNK af, this is. me likee
	10:16am Lixiviated Life: i guess i'm gonna have ta listen to mayor bill on nyc
	10:17am John Allen: LL, jazz always comes back
	10:17am DJ Guin: "Do you all come to here for some Rock n' Roll? Then whey the fuq did you come to see Flipper?!?"
	10:17am TDK60: DJ Flash Strap in the Explorers Room played some dub last night. That's in the Give The Drummer radio corridor, an alternate WFMU stream that's worth checking out.
	10:17am morphe': P20. Thanks for doing that!! Tried to add KES - Barry Hines (film by Ken Loach) and Hawk(NF) - Helen Macdonald but could not input?? Not sure why on got on the bird memories??? Made sense yesterday???
	10:19am Lixiviated Life: ok, i'll just wait here then. (thumbs through Highlights Magazine)
	10:19am Alvy Singer: No Trend is the East Coast Flipper.
	10:19am Cmurtha: Its a good list. I should add Nizam Hikmet's time regulation institute to it given everyone going mad. It's about a a group of men who ensure that all the clocks are set properly, and its a satire on modernity and measuring time in a western capitalist way, and the dehumanizing nature of that from a early-turkish (late ottoman) author. Its a bit clunky in English, but the lesson is very much still at issue.
	10:21am P-90: None of the female authors I mentioned after Troubles comment about almost all-male suggestions made the list. The battle for equality goes on..
	10:22am morphe': Another great bird book: Corvus(NF) -Esther Woolfson (living with adopted Rook, Magpie and a Crow)
	10:23am John Allen: Did Mike Davis' book on the bird flu make the cut?
	10:23am Crudbringer: Well, since I'm just as guilty, after suggesting _Lizard Music_ by Pinkwater, I'll throw in _The Westing Game_ by Ellen Raskin. And of course the entire _Treehorn_ cycle by Florence Parry Heide (my little Crudlette was so happy that was included on the FMU Double-Dip premium!)
	10:24am karen eliot: hello.
	10:25am John Allen: welcome Karen
	10:25am p20: @P-90: It's not a battle. I was pretty careful to add all the authors and books from the conversation. If I missed any it was purely by accident
	10:26am p20: @P-90: I'll review the list and make sure all of your suggestions are there
	10:26am Peter from Dover NJ: p20 and TDK60... curious about what sort of structural changes you think might come about when this is all over? Personally I think the right hand side of the aisle wants massive casualties and the Hunger Games.
	10:26am p20: @Crudbringer: You can go to the list and add them yourself
	10:28am DJ Guin: @Ally...I saw Flipper in the 80's...those exact words were uttered..many a Slam Dance was had that night, let me tell ya.
	10:30am morphe': Flipper - (repeat story) CBs in the 80s. They refused to leave the stage and threatened to destroy the place.. Show went on and on and on.. They invited folks up to play their instruments!!!! Memorable
	10:32am Alvy Singer: @DJ Guin I saw Flipper in the early 80's too. You left their shows absolutely devastated. That band could put down some beer.
	10:32am p20: @P-90: I see that you mentioned Peng Shepard and Catherine Asaro. Peng Shepard is on the list. You mentioned Asaro at the very end of the show and I missed her - not a case of bias, just simple error. I fixed it. I don't see anything else you suggested yesterday that's not on the list. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But don't accuse me of being biased.
	10:33am TDK60: Peter, gosh I don't know; hard to keep up with the jaw-dropping idiocy.
	10:36am p20: @P-90: There are a lot of women on the list. Sorry one of your suggestions was accidentally dropped.
	10:36am p20: @Peter from Dover NJ: I was thinking, (semi)socialized medicine and universal basic income.
	10:37am DJ Guin: @morphe'...that is just...gold. my show was at The Ritz, i think?
	10:38am DJ Guin: @Alvy...morphe'..what I would give to see The Residents in their prime and glory.
	10:39am Threemoons: I love this. Getting some "Philip Glass Lite" vibes here.
	10:39am mArk: nice !
	10:39am steveo: so,,,a JA show with no records is . . . still good!
	10:39am John Allen: it's kinda worked inself into that, hasn't it?
	10:40am P-90: p20: I have never accused anyone of anything. The joke about the battle for equality was a joke. I didn’t see Shepherd’s The Book of M on the doc when I looked yesterday, good to hear that she made it. I was also surprised that no one mentioned Andre Norton, who was the pioneer of pioneers as a female science fiction author, and whose novel Star Man’s Son is one of the all-time classics of apocalyptic science fiction.
	10:41am TomDash: Good morning John, just tuning in - glad you were able to cobble together a show Upstate! Hello at the boards, Scott!
	10:41am John Allen: steve, I recorded each MP3 and took great care in manicuring the tops and bottoms
	10:42am P-90: Another absolutely pioneering female SF author is James Tiptree Jr., whose short stories explored apocalyptic themes as brilliantly as anyone ever has.
	10:43am John Allen: Hey Tom, yeah minimal gear just downloaded hijack and audacity
	10:43am steveo: sounds like a lot of work, sir
	10:44am p20: @P-20: Sorry, I guess I took the joke seriously. I am very much pro-inclusion and equality. It took me a while to finish putting the list together so you might have seen it while it was incomplete.
	10:44am John Allen: and I spread out a buncha records on the floor for inspiration
	10:44am p20: Hah, I mean @P-90 !!!
	10:45am steveo: i just looked at your records from last week, also for inspiration
	10:46am TomDash: That's the only way to do it (spreading records on the floor, that is). Sounding good down here in the city! I had my own set up that I dusted off for a remote show. Those pesky mic breaks though! haha...
	10:46am sphere: I've never been an Andre Norton person, not even when I was a kid. When I think about female SF writer these days, I think of Elizabeth Bear. She is awesome.
	10:47am p20: @sphere: I'm not updating the list but you can!
	10:47am sphere: ok :)
	10:48am John Allen: mic breaks are brutal, recording into audacity w/o monitor or....mic or headphones. sorta just feels like being crazy talking at a deaf cat
	10:48am p20: It's fine to just name authors, but I like it when people name a specifi title
	10:48am morphe': Sun popped out here in Madrid so I popith out too... Good safe weekend if I have too much joy outside - or if I get lifted by the cops and do not make it back until????
	10:49am P-90: One long-term change in this country I can guarantee you for decades to come: no one in the generation that is coming of age right now will EVER have patience for a Federal government that does NOT have disease pandemic planning and preparation ALWAYS on its agenda.
	10:51am p20: Take it easy Morphe', see you later!
	10:52am Cmurtha: I foresee the rise of a new and dangerous facism wherein the strength of the nation continues to erode, where people are willing to die for the death cult that is the economy, and the right as a stop gap realizing that it can have populist social policies and be racist and evil too. Just judging by what folks are saying and doing around the globe. I'm not optimistic. Maybe people will realize the danger we are in and do something about it and things will change. Fingers crossed.
	10:53am TDK60: One bonus tho it's extremely dangerous is, those righties are finally exposing themselves for the shitheads they truly are.
	10:53am Carmichael: Heya JA, AM-ers, and rightist shitheads.
	10:54am David (in London): JA - Re mic breaks, you're holding the line, and we surely do all appreciate it.
	10:54am p20: I'm out ... see ya later
	10:54am Cmurtha: Though I don't think most people would agree with that, I'm pretty on the Hobsbawm train that nation states and nationalism have out lived their use and will crumble into new amalgamation soon, though people still despertly cling to them, not realizing they are articulating discourses that do not work in the current rubric of nations
	10:54am Nitpickr: wow that bass is out of tune
	10:54am John Allen: later p20
	10:56am John Allen: good to see Nitpickr keeping up
	10:56am TomDash: I liked the mic break, John. Sounds like you're the show's field reporter, in the trenches bringing us the show...live!
	10:57am Doobois: RIP Tres Warren. Anyone heard how he died?
	10:57am TDK60: ..sorry, I lost my temper there, but not sorry for the content.
	10:58am Cmurtha: facts TDK
	11:00am P-90: I am heartened by the spectacle of the already-shrinking Republican Party throwing themselves all-in behind Trump. When he is gone, disgraced, dismissed as a sad mistake, an experiment doomed from day one, that party will have a hell of an uphill battle getting past it. I don’t think there’s been much consideration of how they’re going to reinvent themselves as an entity with anything to sell to the majority of Americans.
	11:04am Nitpickr: @John Allen Haha hearing these things is like nails on a chalkboard for me. Love the show and thanks for keeping it going!
	11:05am TDK60: the Demz have been weak, allowing handouts to Wall St.
	11:11am MUWFinMASS: instrumental relief of wor—
	11:11am Mike & Dusty: a jazz intervention! a sad one. r.i.p. Manu Dibango
	11:11am -Ken: Morning all! John, sounds good! The mic definitely needs replacing, but still, sounds pretty good overall.
	11:11am Doug in JC: Who will be the first to play the new Dylan track? Could be Ken’s new disinfection song
	11:12am Crudbringer: The Demz are as weak as the people who elected them. People really do believe in a just world. Temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
	11:14am John Allen: thx Ken. Listening on the 90.1 airwaves, great reception today
	11:14am Crudbringer: Forgive my cynicism, but the inevitable death of the Republican party has been fortold since I was in kneepants. That doom prophecy is part of what keeps it alive, it makes you Rebel and not Imperial if only you're brave enough to join it.
	11:16am TDK60: another problem: abusive relationships forced into close quarters. There is a national domestic violence hotline.
	11:17am karen eliot: sounds fantastic on my studio speakers
	11:18am Crudbringer: Thanks for book list access, p20.
	11:19am TDK60: 1.800.799.SAFE
	11:19am Crudbringer: Beautiful show today, JA, great flow from virtuosity through angst to tranquility, the stages of madness.
	11:20am Carmichael: As idiot generations cycle through, they are reflected in the elected officials.
	11:20am passiflora: love this laraaji so much
	11:22am TDK60: > broadcast report > 91.1 FM coming in clearly in north Manhattan.
	11:25am Hubig Pie: New Order ?
	11:25am Cmurtha: As someone who recently had to call them, they are a great help and don't be afraid to reach out to them. I don't know what they can do about the econmoics of abuse in a time like this, but I am sure they have great resources
	11:25am TDK60: Bill Nelson?
	11:26am Cmurtha: they have a chat too if you can't phone
	11:28am John Allen: nice try TDK, I'm crowdsourcing RIYL artists
	11:28am Handy Haversack: Back from the supermarkets! Universal JRus still not within sight. For Golden Age female SF writers, I vastly prefer James Tiptree Jr. to Norton. C. J. Cherryh is amaing and prolific. I read a TON of newer female, queer, and trans SF, and I mentioned several of them that p20 captured for the list.
	11:28am Cmurtha: the show has been amazing as I clean the apt. Thank you J
	11:29am Handy Haversack: (I"m with Cmurtha from earlier; it's the hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the death-drive, and it's more popular than ever!)
	11:30am TDK60: "RIYL" means?
	11:31am John Allen: "Recommended If You Like"
	11:31am TDK60: Ahhh...
	11:31am John Allen: like X, try Y
	11:33am allanToronto: All the political bashing in here is turning one of the few remaining pure good things a little bit sour. Please stop pooping in the swimming pool. A right, a left, a right, a left. Don't you see that you're punching yourself in the face? The demagogues don't need you, but you need each other. Now more than ever.
	11:33am David (in London): Market basket analysis, as it's rather clinically known in my trade.
	11:34am steveo: X are an American punk rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California, United States, in 1977. Never heard of Y.
	11:35am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:35am John Allen: wish I'd used that one in high school math, steveo
	11:35am Toothgrinder Tom: Wonderful show today, Mr. Allen. One for the ages.
	11:35am P-90: Y. Fronted by Eyene. I remember (dating myself though).
	11:36am John Allen: thanks Tom, uh-oh here comes another mic break
	11:36am bore: good morning, so nice
	11:37am Toothgrinder Tom: The Why is a cover band that plays Who songs, natch
	11:37am steveo: third base
	11:40am steveo: third bass?
	11:41am steveo: that was a good mic break; were you playing reccion on your phone?
	11:43am Carmichael: About time we started rockin' this place.
	11:43am John Allen: steveo, it was even less-fi than that!
	11:44am steveo: :)
	11:45am Handy Haversack: Glad this combo is still popular with WFMU DJs. Always dig hearing it. JA, you sounded just fine on your mic break! Happy to be receiving, however you put it all together -- and many thanks to whoever is on BOARD OPS. Ken?
	11:46am Jack: Hey folks! Still talking written science fiction? Thanks for all the insights yesterday; lots added to my list. I haven't gone back and read all the comments, but did anyone mention Joanna Russ? That ought to score me points...
	11:46am maestroso: This has been a fine show indeed, thanks for putting it together JA!
	11:47am xtrakrispy: I went to clicky-star this song and it was already clicked.
	11:47am John Allen: xtra, on the backend looks it was clicked 41 times. so go ahead and click again
	11:48am David (in London): @Jack- I meant to add The Female Man yesterday, but forgot it. Good work for getting Russ out there.
	11:49am Andrew_in_WI: I'm 42... the rest of the album is good, but this song rips
	11:49am Handy Haversack: Anyone ever read _The Green Man_ by Henry Treece? Retelling of Hamlet that goes back to its Viking roots. Good stuff.
	11:51am Handy Haversack: @Andrew: I would have arrived in WI on Wednesday if the world had gone according to plan. Sigh. Next year!
	11:51am John Allen: steveo WHERE ARE YOU?
	11:51am steveo: haha what are you doing over there
	11:52am John Allen: I get emails when old playlists are commented on
	11:52am John Allen: trying to prove that this show has been real-time in spirit
	11:53am xtrakrispy: Looking back, I see I originally clicky-starred it during Garbage Time. Matt's good for stuff other than echo and pizza shirts!
	11:53am Rich in Bay Ridge: This Forsyth has to be a WFMU top 10 this year.
	11:53am steveo: oh that's good to know -- i sometimes comment on old archives when i listen and figure that they are just dropping into the void
	11:55am ratso: I think I just got high off this song
	11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Whee, this is a jam!
	11:57am Handy Haversack: @JA, steveo: Yeah, that is good to know! I do, too.
	11:59am John Allen: thanks everybody! and thanks board op! (Matt W?). Oh and thanks Destonation Out and Jeff M for some technical ?s
	11:59am Johnny_A: Sure is Ken!
	11:59am David (in London): Rocking way to bow out JA. Thanks.
	12:00pm allantoronto: If I close my eyes, it's 1971 all over again.
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: YEAH! Fuego!
	12:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, JA. Can you imagine these guys and Mdou Moctar getting together for an all-time guitar supergroup?
	12:02pm Earth Walker: Hi David. A late response just on the phone with my brother in Boston talking about our mischievous trouble making kid days in Brooklyn no cell phones back then
	12:03pm Earth Walker: Hi TDK ! Yeah I’m in lockdown France Staying under the radar still when venturing outside
	12:07pm Earth Walker: Howdy Handy good to hear ya. 1 liter half white vinegar half water and about 8 drops of tea tree oil
	12:11pm Earth Walker: TDK. Up in Woodstock N.Y. They call it cabin fever when couples start getting on each other’s nerves or perhaps kill one another
	12:19pm ?: @JA: didn’t get back in time to say thanks for the excellent show today. Thanks! It means a lot.
	12:20pm P-90: ^oops. Thanks again.
	12:30pm allantoronto: Live DJs on three of four streams. I wanted to check that out, but discovered that I can't leave this show, so I guess the evidence is in. Great show.

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from March 27, 2020

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

Listener comments!
	9:01am Phil in Charlotte: Good morning all!
	9:01am steveo: never heard rolnick over the air -- a banner day; hello
	9:02am Rick from SC: Morning all. Nice to be able to listen in real time.
	9:02am George of Troy: Ahoy, John
	9:03am sim: @Steveo. You've been missing out. JA starts with it quite often. He offered a vinyl 12" of the song as a DJ premium last year.
	9:03am John Allen: g'morning. Steveo, ironically I've never played rolnick in anything less than real time/ or sent an audio file to the station at 3am
	9:03am Snoochienucci: morning all, i missed the WnB this morning. Its my "day-off" although now they all feel like days off. Hope everyones doing good
	9:04am David (in London): Hello JA and all Allenites. (Hey steveo)
	9:04am David (in London): Hey Snoochie. You OK pal?
	9:04am John Allen: morninvg David
	9:04am p20: Hi JA, Snoochie, steveo, D(iL), everyone!
	9:04am Handy Haversack: Morning, all. Hey, Snooch!
	9:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Desperate times call for desperate measures which call out for Rolnick!
	9:05am John Allen: hey p20
	9:05am adampsyche: gm JA I love the record. my wife is beside herself rn but she'll just have to deal. lil suzie is what the world needs for healing.
	9:06am sim: And JA, thank you for everything! I liked your Phil F'n Collins pieces, too!
	9:06am Snoochienucci: hey Handy! @DIL im doing good, planning on going for a nice long bike ride this afternoon, try to clear the head a bit. Hows it going on your end?
	9:06am John Allen: hey Adam, we had to bring it back this week.
	9:07am adampsyche: steveo you've never tuned in for our weekly rolnick listen?
	9:07am Marley P. Dogg: Morning John - morning friends. Hope everyone is well
	9:08am Peter from Dover NJ: Checking in before I go out for a run... a cool rendition of this tune.
	9:08am TDK60: Was thinking of a bicycle ride today but not on the bike path--too close to others. Maybe will hit the more empty streets.
	9:10am David (in London): @Snoochie - Good plan I reckon. I'm fine. My wife is a keyworker, so I was driving her and supplies around this morning. With the sun shining, the windows down and the Ramones playing, it was a pretty good morning all told.
	9:10am Snoochienucci: @TDK my thoughts exactly, even riding around the lake by my house the other day i felt a little too close to all the walkers lol. But i guess we cant be overly paranoid too, some fresh air is always good. Plus may as well take advantage of those empty streets
	9:11am steveo: hey John. Strange times. Thanks for making it happen. (@sim i was just differentiating between internet stream and terrestrial radio signals)
	9:12am TDK60: ..yeh Snoochie. Where are you?
	9:13am Snoochienucci: @DIL exactly, like we were saying the other day, its hard to fully enjoy the beautiful days with all that is going on. But still important to enjoy them when we can
	9:13am Snoochienucci: @TDK im from wayne nj. hbu?
	9:14am TDK60: Washington Heights, Manhattan.
	9:14am sim: @Steveo. Ah. I remember 1st time I listened to WFMU live. It was JM in the AM. I was so confused.
	9:15am John Allen: hey Steveo, watch the seques today
	9:15am steveo: you know i'm a connoisseur
	9:16am John Allen: actually ya'll might want to turn down the volume at the mic breaks. I'll let you decide
	9:16am Snoochienucci: @TDK gotcha, must be alot more of a change in manhattan. Out here in the suburbs there is def less traffic, but alot more ppl walking around the streets now too. Its very odd, as im sure it is everywhere
	9:16am steveo: @sim clay's a much better intro to the station/day fer sure
	9:19am p20: @D(iL): The Ramones make everything better! And they remind us to stay 1 JRu apart.
	9:20am steveo: i hope there won't be a quiz, i totally missed the piano one, even after you warned me
	9:20am Handy Haversack: Is an imperial JRu any different, @David?
	9:22am TDK60: I prefer the Mick Fleetwood stay-away-unit. Isn't he 7 feet tall?
	9:22am David (in London): @p20 - That's probably why I chose them, wasn't it? And because I simply CANNOT feel bad when I am listening to 'I Wanna Be Sedated.'
	9:23am David (in London): TDK - I did raise the MFu with Handy, but our investigations didn't come to much. Try in and record the data.
	9:24am Handy Haversack: The MFu and the JRu are coterminous in the y axis, though MFu is much more expansive along the x axis.
	9:24am p20: I think we have to unite behind a single candidate, or things will get too splintered and confusing. Joey For Life!
	9:25am Handy Haversack: Agreed, @p20. Standards will save us!
	9:25am David (in London): Handy - I think all fields in pre-enclosure England were measured in rods, poles, perches and hymans, so he hold good here too. Especially in the Finsbury Park area. www.youtube.com...
	9:27am p20: I told my wife yesterday about the JRu. She said "You know, I'm 6 feet tall... I don't need to imagine Joey Ramone to know what 6 feet looks like". I'm over six feet myself but it just cheers me up to visualize Joey Ramone!
	9:27am Threemoons: Goood morning AM peeps
	9:27am Marley P. Dogg: Any good new releases today?
	9:27am Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	9:28am Threemoons: @rev I wish I had carrot cake. I'd make some but there's been a run on flour...
	9:28am p20: @D(iL): Good one! And I love "It's Alive!"!
	9:29am David (in London): @p20 - Exactly so. I like picturing Joey whenever I'm out and about.
	9:29am Threemoons: And in NYC we prefer the JRu for social distancing
	9:29am TDK60: John, you're emanating from a hunker bunker?
	9:30am Jeff formerly from Rahway: I baked a delicious bread w/invasive Japanese Knotweed growing in the park. Gotta forage locally in these apocalyptic times.
	9:30am John Allen: hey TDK, did the show last night on my computer w/o a mic, sent the show to scott early this morning
	9:30am Handy Haversack: Pre-Enclosure UK would have known how to react! The JRu has deep pastoral roots.
	9:32am p20: @JffR: I did not know that was edible. Good information!
	9:32am Doobois: Huzzah! Glad you're safe, JA. Nice and sunny right now...
	9:33am dale: are you somewhere off 209 mr deejay? could be worse places to hole up...
	9:33am TDK60: Oh yes, Scott and the other Skeletons are performing a great service.
	9:34am Jeff formerly from Rahway: @p20 that shit grows EVERYWHERE. Just google some recipes & go nuts!
	9:35am John Allen: hey Dale, i'm in the upper corner of Sullivan/ near Ulster border
	9:35am Andrew_in_WI: JAZZ
	9:35am TDK60: This just in: Ireland to nationalize its health system (but only temporarily).
	9:38am John Allen: Jazz says thanks for the shoutout Andrew
	9:38am David (in London): Handy - Yes indeed. There is, of course, the old Gloucestershire folk song, 'Joey O'er the Hedgerows Go', which was later adapted by Martin Carthy.
	9:41am Peter from Dover NJ: Quarantine Blues, how appropriate! <sings>Get me down / to the TB ward.</sings> Be safe in Sullivan County, JA
	9:43am p20: @TDK60: I've really been wondering how many of the necessary structural changes that are coming about because of this crisis will be un-done as soon as is it over. And if the citizens will stand for that.
	9:43am John Allen: thanks Peter, you do the same
	9:45am TDK60: p20- who knows? By the way, the US govt. just lifted EPA pollution rules. [sic] [sick]
	9:49am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, I'd like to know about the sound scientific logic for why increasing pollution is going to help people get over a virus.
	9:49am Crudbringer: CONSUME
	9:50am dale: mr allen....is the high falls weekend flea market open these days?
	9:50am Crudbringer: OBEY
	9:50am John Allen: well, I guess they figure masks are going to be pretty common for awhile
	9:51am John Allen: hey Dale, I bet not
	9:52am Crudbringer: I mean, uh, good morning, everyone.
	9:52am John Allen: CB, we knew what you meant
	9:53am Handy Haversack: I made bleach solution and sprayed down the doorknobs and locks. I am the Lizard King!!
	9:53am David (in London): Hey JA. McCoy is making the house swing. Great cut, great selection.
	9:55am John Allen: great David. Disclaimer, another 'mic' break coming
	9:55am p20: We've been spinning "Time for Tyner" a lot on the home turntable. A favorite at the p20 household.
	9:56am Earth Walker: Handy how about vinegar and an essential oil ?
	9:56am Earth Walker: Howdy all !
	9:57am Marley P. Dogg: Oh man this Tyner is good - well played JA
	9:57am p20: Going to have to track down a copy of this record too. I love this!
	9:57am p20: Hi Earth Walker!
	9:57am John Allen: excellent, TforT has those vibes/Hutcherson.
	9:57am Earth Walker: Eat drink and be merry
	9:57am p20: JA: And this one has Alice Coltrane playing harp!
	9:58am John Allen: what earth walker endorses
	9:58am Handy Haversack: Hey, Earth Walker: I picked up some white vinegar, too, so that's the next solution project. Just need another spray bottle. Any ratio advice? I don't think we have any essential oils? You get those from Pod People, right?
	9:59am p20: Eat Drink and Be Merry, but Don't Drink the Disinfectant!
	9:59am Earth Walker: TDK. U.S. Government = U.S. Terrorist organization
	9:59am David (in London): Hey Earth Walker. How are you pal?
	10:00am Toothgrinder Tom: Awesome astro-jazz
	10:00am Earth Walker: Skeletons keep those bones shaking !
	10:02am Crudbringer: ...why are you recording me while I'm in the shower?
	10:02am TDK60: Earth W., you're in Nice. How's it there?
	10:04am morphe': JA - according to the blurb on yer listen window.. you were supposed to play a dub tune after the jazz #??? ".. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool?...." Is that a real quote or you imitating a cranky listener? Seems real...
	10:05am John Allen: Morphe- very real to everyone except listener Ike
	10:06am sphere: dub is intrinsically cool.
	10:07am Rev. Turnip Druid: th'TREND.
	10:07am tak: amazzzziiiiiiiiiiing!!! good morning !!
	10:07am sphere: oh yeah. No Trend is one of the great unsung DC bands.
	10:08am Handy Haversack: Hey, @sphere. Click on p20's pizza and you can find a link to the list of books from yesterday's Modern World. p20 did the heavy lifting of collecting and sorting for us!
	10:08am Cmurtha: I always wanted to know where that quote came from. I always assumed it came from a rando. Morning everyone!
	10:09am sphere: huzzah! thanks for letting me know bout the list, Handy.
	10:09am John Allen: www.dragcity.com...
	10:09am Handy Haversack: Mad kudos still to p20 for putting it together. That was a super fun chat. I ... was eager to talk about books, it seems!
	10:10am Mike & Dusty: came running into the room thinking it was the Thrown-Ups
	10:10am TDK60: oh yeh Handy that list...
	10:10am David (in London): It felt like were all cooking with literary gas at that point.
	10:11am Handy Haversack: This tune is great! Never heard No Trend, I think.
	10:11am Crudbringer: CAREER DREAMS
	10:11am disantlor: i would believe that this was JA on vocals
	10:12am Crei6hton: Morning!
	10:12am morphe': No Trend has an oak aroma and tannins reminding me Of Velet U's THE GIFT?
	10:13am p20: Yeah that was a blast yesterday! I wanted to preserve the list we came up with, but you can add more at the bottom if you want
	10:14am Lixiviated Life: ... this is not jazz
	10:15am TDK60: ..you played dub once to be cool?
	10:15am tak: no trend is a must listen for anyone
	10:15am DJ Guin: PUNK af, this is. me likee
	10:16am Lixiviated Life: i guess i'm gonna have ta listen to mayor bill on nyc
	10:17am John Allen: LL, jazz always comes back
	10:17am DJ Guin: "Do you all come to here for some Rock n' Roll? Then whey the fuq did you come to see Flipper?!?"
	10:17am TDK60: DJ Flash Strap in the Explorers Room played some dub last night. That's in the Give The Drummer radio corridor, an alternate WFMU stream that's worth checking out.
	10:17am morphe': P20. Thanks for doing that!! Tried to add KES - Barry Hines (film by Ken Loach) and Hawk(NF) - Helen Macdonald but could not input?? Not sure why on got on the bird memories??? Made sense yesterday???
	10:19am Lixiviated Life: ok, i'll just wait here then. (thumbs through Highlights Magazine)
	10:19am Alvy Singer: No Trend is the East Coast Flipper.
	10:19am Cmurtha: Its a good list. I should add Nizam Hikmet's time regulation institute to it given everyone going mad. It's about a a group of men who ensure that all the clocks are set properly, and its a satire on modernity and measuring time in a western capitalist way, and the dehumanizing nature of that from a early-turkish (late ottoman) author. Its a bit clunky in English, but the lesson is very much still at issue.
	10:21am P-90: None of the female authors I mentioned after Troubles comment about almost all-male suggestions made the list. The battle for equality goes on..
	10:22am morphe': Another great bird book: Corvus(NF) -Esther Woolfson (living with adopted Rook, Magpie and a Crow)
	10:23am John Allen: Did Mike Davis' book on the bird flu make the cut?
	10:23am Crudbringer: Well, since I'm just as guilty, after suggesting _Lizard Music_ by Pinkwater, I'll throw in _The Westing Game_ by Ellen Raskin. And of course the entire _Treehorn_ cycle by Florence Parry Heide (my little Crudlette was so happy that was included on the FMU Double-Dip premium!)
	10:24am karen eliot: hello.
	10:25am John Allen: welcome Karen
	10:25am p20: @P-90: It's not a battle. I was pretty careful to add all the authors and books from the conversation. If I missed any it was purely by accident
	10:26am p20: @P-90: I'll review the list and make sure all of your suggestions are there
	10:26am Peter from Dover NJ: p20 and TDK60... curious about what sort of structural changes you think might come about when this is all over? Personally I think the right hand side of the aisle wants massive casualties and the Hunger Games.
	10:26am p20: @Crudbringer: You can go to the list and add them yourself
	10:28am DJ Guin: @Ally...I saw Flipper in the 80's...those exact words were uttered..many a Slam Dance was had that night, let me tell ya.
	10:30am morphe': Flipper - (repeat story) CBs in the 80s. They refused to leave the stage and threatened to destroy the place.. Show went on and on and on.. They invited folks up to play their instruments!!!! Memorable
	10:32am Alvy Singer: @DJ Guin I saw Flipper in the early 80's too. You left their shows absolutely devastated. That band could put down some beer.
	10:32am p20: @P-90: I see that you mentioned Peng Shepard and Catherine Asaro. Peng Shepard is on the list. You mentioned Asaro at the very end of the show and I missed her - not a case of bias, just simple error. I fixed it. I don't see anything else you suggested yesterday that's not on the list. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But don't accuse me of being biased.
	10:33am TDK60: Peter, gosh I don't know; hard to keep up with the jaw-dropping idiocy.
	10:36am p20: @P-90: There are a lot of women on the list. Sorry one of your suggestions was accidentally dropped.
	10:36am p20: @Peter from Dover NJ: I was thinking, (semi)socialized medicine and universal basic income.
	10:37am DJ Guin: @morphe'...that is just...gold. my show was at The Ritz, i think?
	10:38am DJ Guin: @Alvy...morphe'..what I would give to see The Residents in their prime and glory.
	10:39am Threemoons: I love this. Getting some "Philip Glass Lite" vibes here.
	10:39am mArk: nice !
	10:39am steveo: so,,,a JA show with no records is . . . still good!
	10:39am John Allen: it's kinda worked inself into that, hasn't it?
	10:40am P-90: p20: I have never accused anyone of anything. The joke about the battle for equality was a joke. I didn’t see Shepherd’s The Book of M on the doc when I looked yesterday, good to hear that she made it. I was also surprised that no one mentioned Andre Norton, who was the pioneer of pioneers as a female science fiction author, and whose novel Star Man’s Son is one of the all-time classics of apocalyptic science fiction.
	10:41am TomDash: Good morning John, just tuning in - glad you were able to cobble together a show Upstate! Hello at the boards, Scott!
	10:41am John Allen: steve, I recorded each MP3 and took great care in manicuring the tops and bottoms
	10:42am P-90: Another absolutely pioneering female SF author is James Tiptree Jr., whose short stories explored apocalyptic themes as brilliantly as anyone ever has.
	10:43am John Allen: Hey Tom, yeah minimal gear just downloaded hijack and audacity
	10:43am steveo: sounds like a lot of work, sir
	10:44am p20: @P-20: Sorry, I guess I took the joke seriously. I am very much pro-inclusion and equality. It took me a while to finish putting the list together so you might have seen it while it was incomplete.
	10:44am John Allen: and I spread out a buncha records on the floor for inspiration
	10:44am p20: Hah, I mean @P-90 !!!
	10:45am steveo: i just looked at your records from last week, also for inspiration
	10:46am TomDash: That's the only way to do it (spreading records on the floor, that is). Sounding good down here in the city! I had my own set up that I dusted off for a remote show. Those pesky mic breaks though! haha...
	10:46am sphere: I've never been an Andre Norton person, not even when I was a kid. When I think about female SF writer these days, I think of Elizabeth Bear. She is awesome.
	10:47am p20: @sphere: I'm not updating the list but you can!
	10:47am sphere: ok :)
	10:48am John Allen: mic breaks are brutal, recording into audacity w/o monitor or....mic or headphones. sorta just feels like being crazy talking at a deaf cat
	10:48am p20: It's fine to just name authors, but I like it when people name a specifi title
	10:48am morphe': Sun popped out here in Madrid so I popith out too... Good safe weekend if I have too much joy outside - or if I get lifted by the cops and do not make it back until????
	10:49am P-90: One long-term change in this country I can guarantee you for decades to come: no one in the generation that is coming of age right now will EVER have patience for a Federal government that does NOT have disease pandemic planning and preparation ALWAYS on its agenda.
	10:51am p20: Take it easy Morphe', see you later!
	10:52am Cmurtha: I foresee the rise of a new and dangerous facism wherein the strength of the nation continues to erode, where people are willing to die for the death cult that is the economy, and the right as a stop gap realizing that it can have populist social policies and be racist and evil too. Just judging by what folks are saying and doing around the globe. I'm not optimistic. Maybe people will realize the danger we are in and do something about it and things will change. Fingers crossed.
	10:53am TDK60: One bonus tho it's extremely dangerous is, those righties are finally exposing themselves for the shitheads they truly are.
	10:53am Carmichael: Heya JA, AM-ers, and rightist shitheads.
	10:54am David (in London): JA - Re mic breaks, you're holding the line, and we surely do all appreciate it.
	10:54am p20: I'm out ... see ya later
	10:54am Cmurtha: Though I don't think most people would agree with that, I'm pretty on the Hobsbawm train that nation states and nationalism have out lived their use and will crumble into new amalgamation soon, though people still despertly cling to them, not realizing they are articulating discourses that do not work in the current rubric of nations
	10:54am Nitpickr: wow that bass is out of tune
	10:54am John Allen: later p20
	10:56am John Allen: good to see Nitpickr keeping up
	10:56am TomDash: I liked the mic break, John. Sounds like you're the show's field reporter, in the trenches bringing us the show...live!
	10:57am Doobois: RIP Tres Warren. Anyone heard how he died?
	10:57am TDK60: ..sorry, I lost my temper there, but not sorry for the content.
	10:58am Cmurtha: facts TDK
	11:00am P-90: I am heartened by the spectacle of the already-shrinking Republican Party throwing themselves all-in behind Trump. When he is gone, disgraced, dismissed as a sad mistake, an experiment doomed from day one, that party will have a hell of an uphill battle getting past it. I don’t think there’s been much consideration of how they’re going to reinvent themselves as an entity with anything to sell to the majority of Americans.
	11:04am Nitpickr: @John Allen Haha hearing these things is like nails on a chalkboard for me. Love the show and thanks for keeping it going!
	11:05am TDK60: the Demz have been weak, allowing handouts to Wall St.
	11:11am MUWFinMASS: instrumental relief of wor—
	11:11am Mike & Dusty: a jazz intervention! a sad one. r.i.p. Manu Dibango
	11:11am -Ken: Morning all! John, sounds good! The mic definitely needs replacing, but still, sounds pretty good overall.
	11:11am Doug in JC: Who will be the first to play the new Dylan track? Could be Ken’s new disinfection song
	11:12am Crudbringer: The Demz are as weak as the people who elected them. People really do believe in a just world. Temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
	11:14am John Allen: thx Ken. Listening on the 90.1 airwaves, great reception today
	11:14am Crudbringer: Forgive my cynicism, but the inevitable death of the Republican party has been fortold since I was in kneepants. That doom prophecy is part of what keeps it alive, it makes you Rebel and not Imperial if only you're brave enough to join it.
	11:16am TDK60: another problem: abusive relationships forced into close quarters. There is a national domestic violence hotline.
	11:17am karen eliot: sounds fantastic on my studio speakers
	11:18am Crudbringer: Thanks for book list access, p20.
	11:19am TDK60: 1.800.799.SAFE
	11:19am Crudbringer: Beautiful show today, JA, great flow from virtuosity through angst to tranquility, the stages of madness.
	11:20am Carmichael: As idiot generations cycle through, they are reflected in the elected officials.
	11:20am passiflora: love this laraaji so much
	11:22am TDK60: > broadcast report > 91.1 FM coming in clearly in north Manhattan.
	11:25am Hubig Pie: New Order ?
	11:25am Cmurtha: As someone who recently had to call them, they are a great help and don't be afraid to reach out to them. I don't know what they can do about the econmoics of abuse in a time like this, but I am sure they have great resources
	11:25am TDK60: Bill Nelson?
	11:26am Cmurtha: they have a chat too if you can't phone
	11:28am John Allen: nice try TDK, I'm crowdsourcing RIYL artists
	11:28am Handy Haversack: Back from the supermarkets! Universal JRus still not within sight. For Golden Age female SF writers, I vastly prefer James Tiptree Jr. to Norton. C. J. Cherryh is amaing and prolific. I read a TON of newer female, queer, and trans SF, and I mentioned several of them that p20 captured for the list.
	11:28am Cmurtha: the show has been amazing as I clean the apt. Thank you J
	11:29am Handy Haversack: (I"m with Cmurtha from earlier; it's the hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the death-drive, and it's more popular than ever!)
	11:30am TDK60: "RIYL" means?
	11:31am John Allen: "Recommended If You Like"
	11:31am TDK60: Ahhh...
	11:31am John Allen: like X, try Y
	11:33am allanToronto: All the political bashing in here is turning one of the few remaining pure good things a little bit sour. Please stop pooping in the swimming pool. A right, a left, a right, a left. Don't you see that you're punching yourself in the face? The demagogues don't need you, but you need each other. Now more than ever.
	11:33am David (in London): Market basket analysis, as it's rather clinically known in my trade.
	11:34am steveo: X are an American punk rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California, United States, in 1977. Never heard of Y.
	11:35am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:35am John Allen: wish I'd used that one in high school math, steveo
	11:35am Toothgrinder Tom: Wonderful show today, Mr. Allen. One for the ages.
	11:35am P-90: Y. Fronted by Eyene. I remember (dating myself though).
	11:36am John Allen: thanks Tom, uh-oh here comes another mic break
	11:36am bore: good morning, so nice
	11:37am Toothgrinder Tom: The Why is a cover band that plays Who songs, natch
	11:37am steveo: third base
	11:40am steveo: third bass?
	11:41am steveo: that was a good mic break; were you playing reccion on your phone?
	11:43am Carmichael: About time we started rockin' this place.
	11:43am John Allen: steveo, it was even less-fi than that!
	11:44am steveo: :)
	11:45am Handy Haversack: Glad this combo is still popular with WFMU DJs. Always dig hearing it. JA, you sounded just fine on your mic break! Happy to be receiving, however you put it all together -- and many thanks to whoever is on BOARD OPS. Ken?
	11:46am Jack: Hey folks! Still talking written science fiction? Thanks for all the insights yesterday; lots added to my list. I haven't gone back and read all the comments, but did anyone mention Joanna Russ? That ought to score me points...
	11:46am maestroso: This has been a fine show indeed, thanks for putting it together JA!
	11:47am xtrakrispy: I went to clicky-star this song and it was already clicked.
	11:47am John Allen: xtra, on the backend looks it was clicked 41 times. so go ahead and click again
	11:48am David (in London): @Jack- I meant to add The Female Man yesterday, but forgot it. Good work for getting Russ out there.
	11:49am Andrew_in_WI: I'm 42... the rest of the album is good, but this song rips
	11:49am Handy Haversack: Anyone ever read _The Green Man_ by Henry Treece? Retelling of Hamlet that goes back to its Viking roots. Good stuff.
	11:51am Handy Haversack: @Andrew: I would have arrived in WI on Wednesday if the world had gone according to plan. Sigh. Next year!
	11:51am John Allen: steveo WHERE ARE YOU?
	11:51am steveo: haha what are you doing over there
	11:52am John Allen: I get emails when old playlists are commented on
	11:52am John Allen: trying to prove that this show has been real-time in spirit
	11:53am xtrakrispy: Looking back, I see I originally clicky-starred it during Garbage Time. Matt's good for stuff other than echo and pizza shirts!
	11:53am Rich in Bay Ridge: This Forsyth has to be a WFMU top 10 this year.
	11:53am steveo: oh that's good to know -- i sometimes comment on old archives when i listen and figure that they are just dropping into the void
	11:55am ratso: I think I just got high off this song
	11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Whee, this is a jam!
	11:57am Handy Haversack: @JA, steveo: Yeah, that is good to know! I do, too.
	11:59am John Allen: thanks everybody! and thanks board op! (Matt W?). Oh and thanks Destonation Out and Jeff M for some technical ?s
	11:59am Johnny_A: Sure is Ken!
	11:59am David (in London): Rocking way to bow out JA. Thanks.
	12:00pm allantoronto: If I close my eyes, it's 1971 all over again.
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: YEAH! Fuego!
	12:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, JA. Can you imagine these guys and Mdou Moctar getting together for an all-time guitar supergroup?
	12:02pm Earth Walker: Hi David. A late response just on the phone with my brother in Boston talking about our mischievous trouble making kid days in Brooklyn no cell phones back then
	12:03pm Earth Walker: Hi TDK ! Yeah I’m in lockdown France Staying under the radar still when venturing outside
	12:07pm Earth Walker: Howdy Handy good to hear ya. 1 liter half white vinegar half water and about 8 drops of tea tree oil
	12:11pm Earth Walker: TDK. Up in Woodstock N.Y. They call it cabin fever when couples start getting on each other’s nerves or perhaps kill one another
	12:19pm ?: @JA: didn’t get back in time to say thanks for the excellent show today. Thanks! It means a lot.
	12:20pm P-90: ^oops. Thanks again.
	12:30pm allantoronto: Live DJs on three of four streams. I wanted to check that out, but discovered that I can't leave this show, so I guess the evidence is in. Great show.
