	12:41am Jedley: Chrono like chronological and phage like macrophage. Time-eater!
	♥ 12:41am diciassette: whoa
	♥ 12:46am ultradamno: I didn't get to see so many movies this year, but my favorite was What Did Jack Do?, David Lynch interrogates a monkey for about fifteen minutes.
	♥ 12:47am ultradamno: The monkey from friends, unless I dreamed that factoid
	♥ 12:50am ultradamno: I did not. screenrant.com...
	♥ 12:51am TomDash: Lovers Rock (one of 5 films from Steve McQueen's Small Axe series) had my favorite 2 scenes of the year - 2 wonderful dance sequences at a London early 80s Reggae/Lovers Rock house party www.imdb.com...
	♥ 12:52am TomDash: Special Interest is going to get BIG when live shows are a thing again...I just know it...
	♥ 12:57am Hubig Pie: Just tuned in,if this is a best of 2020, then I concur
	♥ 12:58am TomDash: Welcome Hubig Pie - yep, a year-end round up. Not ranked, just a bunch of faves from 2020...
	♥ 1:02am Hubig Pie: Chaos breeds great music or something like that
	1:06am egould310: Silver Scrolls are ex Polvo guys. Very cool. Will be listening to more of this.
	1:11am Jedley: Hahaha TomDash: remember hash? More than 100 million Americans: do you want me to get you some at the store?
	♥ 1:11am TomDash: Yeah egould310 - the whole record is really cool...got me to dig back into some early Polvo too...
	♥ 1:11am Mr. Pumpy: That guitar...tone, cords, and attack...is telling.
	♥ 1:12am Fuzzy: Mmm...hash.
	1:12am egould310: Nice. This Thurston Moore reminds me alot of The Sonic Youths. Thanks for playing it, Tom. Greetings from rainy rainy Seattle!
	♥ 1:14am TomDash: I recall hash showing up at the end of summer/beginning of fall in high school when weed supplies would dry up for the summer...at least in my suburban town...hash under a glass...ha!
	♥ 1:15am ultradamno: I remember more hash oil than actual hash.
	1:17am DktrFaustus: Summer of '79. Led Zep playing In Through the Out Door on the jukebox. First cannabis experience :-)
	♥ 1:17am TomDash: wow Dktrfaustus - that's making me high just thinking about it! ha
	1:18am DktrFaustus: Lol!
	♥ 1:19am ultradamno: You get high enough you'll believe you can turn a black and white album cover into color
	1:20am DktrFaustus: Indeedy!
	♥ 1:25am Mr. Pumpy: @DktrFaustus...you caught them right at the end! While I'm not big on In Through the Out Door, I do regard the previous effort, Presence, as one of their finest moments. I'm sure it was amazing no matter what.
	♥ 1:25am Fuzzy: I have an indelible memory from abot 25 years ago of being high as a kite and standing in front of the jukebox at the local dive bar, listening to Steely Dan's "Do It Again" really loud. It sounded awesome! I'll always remember that!
	1:26am DktrFaustus: @Mr Pumpy I intended to see them on their planned tour. It would have been my first concert. Alas, it was not to be.
	♥ 1:26am ultradamno: I remember they were set to come here and then...some kind of drummer issue.
	1:27am DktrFaustus: @Fuzzy I love these special moments :-)
	♥ 1:28am TomDash: all this chatter is making me wanna spin some Led Zeppelin...but they didn't release anything in 2020, drat! (oh and to get stoned...)
	1:28am DktrFaustus: The Rolling Stones came to MSG a couple years later and blew me away however.
	♥ 1:29am Mr. Pumpy: @DktrFaustus. I have made it a point to try and see artist when I can, having blown it so many times. Two that hurt me are Zappa and Kyuss...there was no next time! This is why I best see Buddy Guy STAT!
	1:29am DktrFaustus: @TomDash May I recommend a new discovery: Himalayan Gold. Reminds me of Nepal.
	1:30am DktrFaustus: I saw Zappa on the pier when he did "Does Humor Belong in Music?" What a fkin show!
	1:30am egould310: I see the Astute Palate/David Nance connection. Good tunes.
	♥ 1:31am ultradamno: I saw The Carpenters, there was no contact high
	1:32am DktrFaustus: What was the venue?
	♥ 1:32am Mr. Pumpy: That was one of the Zappa shows I should have been at. Also The Cure at the pier. But the cure I saw a bunch afterwards, but I would have loved to see them their. Such is life.
	♥ 1:33am ultradamno: New Castle Chrysler High School Field House.
	♥ 1:33am TomDash: I've seen TONS of bands there ultrad!
	1:33am DktrFaustus: I saw the Cure at the Beacon in 1984. A very fond memory.
	♥ 1:34am Fuzzy: I regret not going to see Garcia Peoples at Once in Somerville last year when I had the chance, before all this COVID shit -- but I don't drive so biking it 15 miles each way at night on the Minuteman Bikeway seemed kinda sketchy so I passed. I shoulda done it.
	♥ 1:34am Fuzzy: Also: Bloodshot Bill.
	1:35am egould310: I saw the Carpenters at NCCHS Fieldhouse, too!
	1:35am DktrFaustus: I bet they were great. I saw Sammy Davis at the Garden State Arts Center. The only high I got was a sugar high. He threw a lot of candy into the crowd during "Candy Man."
	♥ 1:35am Hubig Pie: Hash mixed with tobacco=large headache followed by buzzed brain
	♥ 1:35am ultradamno: THE WORLD'S LARGEST BASKETBALL GYMNASIUM, I'll have you know 😁 www.maxpreps.com...
	♥ 1:37am TomDash: Ahh well, Fuzzy - shows will be back, might still have to wear masks for a while (even after vaccines) but I am fine with that...
	♥ 1:37am diciassette: Everything is jamming in quite nicely!
	♥ 1:38am TomDash: awww...thanks diciassette - was a fun one to put together...
	♥ 1:39am brycepunk1: Show has been fantastic so far. Loving this!
	♥ 1:40am ultradamno: Also saw The Osmond Brothers at The State Fair, but the show was cut short due to onstage violence. OK, one of them accidentally punched Jimmy in the face biffing the choreography in their cover of Kung Fu Fighting...but I like saying it that way
	♥ 1:40am TomDash: hey thanks brycepunk1! Glad you're still hanging!
	1:41am DktrFaustus: Hope he fared better than Marty Balin at Altamont!
	♥ 1:41am Mr. Pumpy: gREATY SHOW, tOMdASH. i HAVE TO GO HAVE A LATE NIGHT MEAL BEFORE DEALING WIHT MY POPS IN THE MORNING. i HATE this fucking keyboard!!!! Ahhh...sorrry. I do hat it though. Balls!
	♥ 1:42am Fuzzy: Yes, Tom, I believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel (and it isn't a freight train!) -- still have tickets to see The Zulus that I bought about a year and a half ago, rescheduled to Sep. 2021 -- it'll be well worth the wait!
	♥ 1:42am Mr. Pumpy: be well
	♥ 1:42am TomDash: Goodnight Mr Pumpy - thanks for hanging and say hi to dad! ciao for now...
	♥ 1:43am Fuzzy: And yeah, all these 2020 cuts tonight have been great! Great show!
	1:44am DktrFaustus: Loving the mix
	♥ 1:44am ultradamno: Though at the current rate of immunization, it could take ten years to get to the percentage necessary for it to be really effective. But a slow moving train is a train.
	1:44am egould310: Yeah I need live music to come back. This is boring as shit. I need to go to a stinky bar, get drunk, and listen to some live music. Not kidding. I moved to Seattle in Sep-19, and hadn’t had a chance to get to any concerts before COVID-19 lockdowns. The last show I went to was to see The Courtneys at Bootleg Theater on 08/30/19. This sucks. Need live music.
	♥ 1:48am fred: Hello Tom and listeners
	♥ 1:48am ultradamno: Did people give up on live simulcasts? Nikki Lane's Month Of Sundays were a kind of music high point this year.
	♥ 1:48am Hubig Pie: Live music,lotsa alcohol and a filthy toilet, memories are made of this
	♥ 1:48am TomDash: Hey there Fred, welcome..you JUST missed a French selection for my 2020 wrap up - Euromilliard...
	1:50am DktrFaustus: Hey, all I'm missing is live music! :-)
	♥ 1:51am TomDash: don't forget the SMELL Hubig - stale beer, dirty floors...ahhh, that sweet sweet smell...
	♥ 1:53am Hubig Pie: Oh, I know that smell
	♥ 1:54am ultradamno: You're not thinking about getting rid of the dank are you Moe?
	1:55am egould310: Somebody should bottle that smell. Sell it on etsy as a mist to spray in your living room when you’re watching a zoom concert performance.
	♥ 1:59am fred: I think I miss dance shows even more than live music. I watched one yesterday and it lacks the physical side. They did go light on close ups of dancers though (these are nonsense to me)
	♥ 2:02am Fuzzy: Pissing into the ice cubes in the trough of Manny's men's room while the CD jukebox is blasting out TLC''s "Waterfalls" -- ah, where did all those nights go?
	♥ 2:08am TomDash: I hear ya Fred..I also miss going to see a movie on a nice, big screen with a packed house...
	♥ 2:10am coelacanth∅: you're killin' it Tom!
	♥ 2:11am ultradamno: Well, I saw about a month ago a swingers club in Queens got shut for not sticking to COVID restrictions. Those people must be hard up for a good time by now.
	♥ 2:11am TomDash: (blushing) thanks coel...means a lot!
	♥ 2:12am TomDash: ultrad - swinging is a lifestyle and no virus is gonna shut us, er, I mean THEM down!
	2:13am Dave Miss: The swingers convention in New Orleans was featured on John Oliver, and was hilarious. Lots o cases....just COVID
	♥ 2:15am TomDash: yeah Dave I remember that episode - brilliant!
	2:17am Dave Miss: Great show btw @tomdash. I was in New Orleans as a Covid compliance officer on a film and realized that, that was happening and just rolled my eyes… New Orleans is actually doing really well nationally on the Covid cases, no joke. But that was a slip up
	2:20am egould310: Another memory of New Castle Chrysler High School Fieldhouse; Bobby Knight screaming obscenities at my group of basketball campers. Summer between 6th grade and 7th grade. We were in a layup drill, and Bobby Knight is completely losing his shit snd screaming at us kids for not properly executing layups. That was pretty much the end of my desire to play basketball.
	♥ 2:20am TomDash: Thanks Dave! And good to hear NOLA is hanging in there...I know it was tough going after Mardi Gras, etc...staying safe here in NYC - left the city for the FIRST time overnight since January 2020 for the Holidays - stayed within NY State - B & B Upstate - was weird and liberating at the same time...
	♥ 2:21am ultradamno: I have no direct Bobby Knight memories but Alex can tell you about Steve Alford saying racist things about Michigan in the lunch line.
	♥ 2:23am ultradamno: Now my experiences with Alford's dad are about as unpleasant as your Knight experiences
	♥ 2:23am diciassette: Love Lithics! You're really making it all fit!
	♥ 2:24am TomDash: I'm trying diciassette, I'm trying!
	2:27am Dave Miss: Well to everyone, flying is actually one of the safest things you can do… It’s getting through the airport and into your new location safely. Don’t takeoff that iN95 for nothing at all… So travel anywhere. This coronavirus is really about stagnant air and being in that situation. The airlines are doing an incredible job to have UV filters as well as MERV & HEPA filters as well for air circulation
	2:27am egould310: All my interactions with the Alford’s were pretty unpleasant. I mean shit, I thought a week long Summer skills camp would be fun. Then Alford invites Bobby Knight up for the day and this maniac starts cussing at us?! I mean, the dude lost his shit. Over a layup drill. During a Summer camp. For 12 year olds.
	♥ 2:31am ultradamno: Considering how much he came to dislike me over my indifference to making it to gym on time (hey, it was a long walk from social studies and I was going to run or walk briskly to get there) I really don't know how I wound up with a gym credit
	♥ 2:32am diciassette: Strangler-y?
	♥ 2:33am ultradamno: Was *not going to, that is. A little more Fall that Stranglers, I think
	♥ 2:34am ultradamno: Though early Fall and Stranglers kind of brush up against one other.
	♥ 2:34am TomDash: Funny I hear the Stranglers now, good call...always heard The Fall too...
	♥ 2:35am TomDash: Although I think we can all agree, The Cardboard Man is a total asshole...
	2:35am egould310: At the end of the year, Coach Alford asked himself, “Do I really want to see ultradamno again next year?” No I don’t. Grade: B-
	2:40am Dave Miss: Thanks skeletons Scott
	♥ 2:45am TomDash: hey wait a second "Tabbed" View? I get it...
	♥ 2:46am ultradamno: Sure, like post-it tabs to keep your documents organized for tax time. I see no other interpretation. Ryan is responsible with his finances
	♥ 2:48am TomDash: As we wind down, I want to wish all you super cool, fantastic and supportive loyal listeners and very Happy New Year! Love how y'all hang for these shows. I know I sound redundant, but means the world to me! Let's kick 2020 to the curb and usher in 2021 asap!
	2:49am egould310: Yeah man, tabbed. Let’s smoke some tabs and go scare some old people. Let’s freak out!
	2:51am egould310: Thanks for playing the hits, Tom. Happy New Year to you and to WFMU listeners.
	♥ 2:51am diciassette: Let's show our hinds to 2020!
	2:52am rw: Thank you TD!!!
	♥ 2:53am TomDash: hey there rw...most welcome - Happy New Year! And yes diciassette - many great releases in 2020...and that is all!
	♥ 2:56am coelacanth∅: another excellent program Tom! been listening the whole way from the start, though doing other than littering the comments board with my usual annoying chatter. Happy new year! (and to whomever i don't cross paths with again before that) tchau
	2:57am Jedley: Thanks for all the new music! Safe travels to 2021 ✲ﾟ｡⋆
	2:57am Ajay: Loved the show Tom. Thankyou. Onwards and upwards into 2021!
	2:57am Dave Miss: It will be a real new year for all of us together. Thx WFMU for holding it together when the rest of us are losing it.
	♥ 2:57am TomDash: awww...thanks coel! Happy New Year to ya!
	♥ 2:58am TomDash: thanks jedley, Ajay, Dave!
	♥ 2:58am ultradamno: Thanks Tom, Scott, skeletons. Night all, meet you for best of blues in the evening.
	♥ 2:59am diciassette: Thank you TomDash! Hasta pasta and gesundheit
	♥ 2:59am TomDash: Ok folks, Happy New Year to y'all! Thanks for hanging for this year-end round up. Stay Healthy & Safe! Love spreading the music over the airwaves and interwebs...see ya in the new year for new jams....oh yeah FUCK YOU 2020...let's bring 2021 asap! PEACE Y'ALL
	♥ 3:00am fred: Thanks Tom!
	♥ 3:01am Fuzzy: Thanks Tom! See ya in 2021! HNY y'all!

	♥ 12:39am ultradamno: Gold medal long jump leap year
	12:41am Jedley: Chrono like chronological and phage like macrophage. Time-eater!
	♥ 12:41am diciassette: whoa
	♥ 12:46am ultradamno: I didn't get to see so many movies this year, but my favorite was What Did Jack Do?, David Lynch interrogates a monkey for about fifteen minutes.
	♥ 12:47am ultradamno: The monkey from friends, unless I dreamed that factoid
	♥ 12:50am ultradamno: I did not. screenrant.com...
	♥ 12:51am TomDash: Lovers Rock (one of 5 films from Steve McQueen's Small Axe series) had my favorite 2 scenes of the year - 2 wonderful dance sequences at a London early 80s Reggae/Lovers Rock house party www.imdb.com...
	♥ 12:52am TomDash: Special Interest is going to get BIG when live shows are a thing again...I just know it...
	♥ 12:57am Hubig Pie: Just tuned in,if this is a best of 2020, then I concur
	♥ 12:58am TomDash: Welcome Hubig Pie - yep, a year-end round up. Not ranked, just a bunch of faves from 2020...
	♥ 1:02am Hubig Pie: Chaos breeds great music or something like that
	1:06am egould310: Silver Scrolls are ex Polvo guys. Very cool. Will be listening to more of this.
	1:11am Jedley: Hahaha TomDash: remember hash? More than 100 million Americans: do you want me to get you some at the store?
	♥ 1:11am TomDash: Yeah egould310 - the whole record is really cool...got me to dig back into some early Polvo too...
	♥ 1:11am Mr. Pumpy: That guitar...tone, cords, and attack...is telling.
	♥ 1:12am Fuzzy: Mmm...hash.
	1:12am egould310: Nice. This Thurston Moore reminds me alot of The Sonic Youths. Thanks for playing it, Tom. Greetings from rainy rainy Seattle!
	♥ 1:14am TomDash: I recall hash showing up at the end of summer/beginning of fall in high school when weed supplies would dry up for the summer...at least in my suburban town...hash under a glass...ha!
	♥ 1:15am ultradamno: I remember more hash oil than actual hash.
	1:17am DktrFaustus: Summer of '79. Led Zep playing In Through the Out Door on the jukebox. First cannabis experience :-)
	♥ 1:17am TomDash: wow Dktrfaustus - that's making me high just thinking about it! ha
	1:18am DktrFaustus: Lol!
	♥ 1:19am ultradamno: You get high enough you'll believe you can turn a black and white album cover into color
	1:20am DktrFaustus: Indeedy!
	♥ 1:25am Mr. Pumpy: @DktrFaustus...you caught them right at the end! While I'm not big on In Through the Out Door, I do regard the previous effort, Presence, as one of their finest moments. I'm sure it was amazing no matter what.
	♥ 1:25am Fuzzy: I have an indelible memory from abot 25 years ago of being high as a kite and standing in front of the jukebox at the local dive bar, listening to Steely Dan's "Do It Again" really loud. It sounded awesome! I'll always remember that!
	1:26am DktrFaustus: @Mr Pumpy I intended to see them on their planned tour. It would have been my first concert. Alas, it was not to be.
	♥ 1:26am ultradamno: I remember they were set to come here and then...some kind of drummer issue.
	1:27am DktrFaustus: @Fuzzy I love these special moments :-)
	♥ 1:28am TomDash: all this chatter is making me wanna spin some Led Zeppelin...but they didn't release anything in 2020, drat! (oh and to get stoned...)
	1:28am DktrFaustus: The Rolling Stones came to MSG a couple years later and blew me away however.
	♥ 1:29am Mr. Pumpy: @DktrFaustus. I have made it a point to try and see artist when I can, having blown it so many times. Two that hurt me are Zappa and Kyuss...there was no next time! This is why I best see Buddy Guy STAT!
	1:29am DktrFaustus: @TomDash May I recommend a new discovery: Himalayan Gold. Reminds me of Nepal.
	1:30am DktrFaustus: I saw Zappa on the pier when he did "Does Humor Belong in Music?" What a fkin show!
	1:30am egould310: I see the Astute Palate/David Nance connection. Good tunes.
	♥ 1:31am ultradamno: I saw The Carpenters, there was no contact high
	1:32am DktrFaustus: What was the venue?
	♥ 1:32am Mr. Pumpy: That was one of the Zappa shows I should have been at. Also The Cure at the pier. But the cure I saw a bunch afterwards, but I would have loved to see them their. Such is life.
	♥ 1:33am ultradamno: New Castle Chrysler High School Field House.
	♥ 1:33am TomDash: I've seen TONS of bands there ultrad!
	1:33am DktrFaustus: I saw the Cure at the Beacon in 1984. A very fond memory.
	♥ 1:34am Fuzzy: I regret not going to see Garcia Peoples at Once in Somerville last year when I had the chance, before all this COVID shit -- but I don't drive so biking it 15 miles each way at night on the Minuteman Bikeway seemed kinda sketchy so I passed. I shoulda done it.
	♥ 1:34am Fuzzy: Also: Bloodshot Bill.
	1:35am egould310: I saw the Carpenters at NCCHS Fieldhouse, too!
	1:35am DktrFaustus: I bet they were great. I saw Sammy Davis at the Garden State Arts Center. The only high I got was a sugar high. He threw a lot of candy into the crowd during "Candy Man."
	♥ 1:35am Hubig Pie: Hash mixed with tobacco=large headache followed by buzzed brain
	♥ 1:35am ultradamno: THE WORLD'S LARGEST BASKETBALL GYMNASIUM, I'll have you know 😁 www.maxpreps.com...
	♥ 1:37am TomDash: Ahh well, Fuzzy - shows will be back, might still have to wear masks for a while (even after vaccines) but I am fine with that...
	♥ 1:37am diciassette: Everything is jamming in quite nicely!
	♥ 1:38am TomDash: awww...thanks diciassette - was a fun one to put together...
	♥ 1:39am brycepunk1: Show has been fantastic so far. Loving this!
	♥ 1:40am ultradamno: Also saw The Osmond Brothers at The State Fair, but the show was cut short due to onstage violence. OK, one of them accidentally punched Jimmy in the face biffing the choreography in their cover of Kung Fu Fighting...but I like saying it that way
	♥ 1:40am TomDash: hey thanks brycepunk1! Glad you're still hanging!
	1:41am DktrFaustus: Hope he fared better than Marty Balin at Altamont!
	♥ 1:41am Mr. Pumpy: gREATY SHOW, tOMdASH. i HAVE TO GO HAVE A LATE NIGHT MEAL BEFORE DEALING WIHT MY POPS IN THE MORNING. i HATE this fucking keyboard!!!! Ahhh...sorrry. I do hat it though. Balls!
	♥ 1:42am Fuzzy: Yes, Tom, I believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel (and it isn't a freight train!) -- still have tickets to see The Zulus that I bought about a year and a half ago, rescheduled to Sep. 2021 -- it'll be well worth the wait!
	♥ 1:42am Mr. Pumpy: be well
	♥ 1:42am TomDash: Goodnight Mr Pumpy - thanks for hanging and say hi to dad! ciao for now...
	♥ 1:43am Fuzzy: And yeah, all these 2020 cuts tonight have been great! Great show!
	1:44am DktrFaustus: Loving the mix
	♥ 1:44am ultradamno: Though at the current rate of immunization, it could take ten years to get to the percentage necessary for it to be really effective. But a slow moving train is a train.
	1:44am egould310: Yeah I need live music to come back. This is boring as shit. I need to go to a stinky bar, get drunk, and listen to some live music. Not kidding. I moved to Seattle in Sep-19, and hadn’t had a chance to get to any concerts before COVID-19 lockdowns. The last show I went to was to see The Courtneys at Bootleg Theater on 08/30/19. This sucks. Need live music.
	♥ 1:48am fred: Hello Tom and listeners
	♥ 1:48am ultradamno: Did people give up on live simulcasts? Nikki Lane's Month Of Sundays were a kind of music high point this year.
	♥ 1:48am Hubig Pie: Live music,lotsa alcohol and a filthy toilet, memories are made of this
	♥ 1:48am TomDash: Hey there Fred, welcome..you JUST missed a French selection for my 2020 wrap up - Euromilliard...
	1:50am DktrFaustus: Hey, all I'm missing is live music! :-)
	♥ 1:51am TomDash: don't forget the SMELL Hubig - stale beer, dirty floors...ahhh, that sweet sweet smell...
	♥ 1:53am Hubig Pie: Oh, I know that smell
	♥ 1:54am ultradamno: You're not thinking about getting rid of the dank are you Moe?
	1:55am egould310: Somebody should bottle that smell. Sell it on etsy as a mist to spray in your living room when you’re watching a zoom concert performance.
	♥ 1:59am fred: I think I miss dance shows even more than live music. I watched one yesterday and it lacks the physical side. They did go light on close ups of dancers though (these are nonsense to me)
	♥ 2:02am Fuzzy: Pissing into the ice cubes in the trough of Manny's men's room while the CD jukebox is blasting out TLC''s "Waterfalls" -- ah, where did all those nights go?
	♥ 2:08am TomDash: I hear ya Fred..I also miss going to see a movie on a nice, big screen with a packed house...
	♥ 2:10am coelacanth∅: you're killin' it Tom!
	♥ 2:11am ultradamno: Well, I saw about a month ago a swingers club in Queens got shut for not sticking to COVID restrictions. Those people must be hard up for a good time by now.
	♥ 2:11am TomDash: (blushing) thanks coel...means a lot!
	♥ 2:12am TomDash: ultrad - swinging is a lifestyle and no virus is gonna shut us, er, I mean THEM down!
	2:13am Dave Miss: The swingers convention in New Orleans was featured on John Oliver, and was hilarious. Lots o cases....just COVID
	♥ 2:15am TomDash: yeah Dave I remember that episode - brilliant!
	2:17am Dave Miss: Great show btw @tomdash. I was in New Orleans as a Covid compliance officer on a film and realized that, that was happening and just rolled my eyes… New Orleans is actually doing really well nationally on the Covid cases, no joke. But that was a slip up
	2:20am egould310: Another memory of New Castle Chrysler High School Fieldhouse; Bobby Knight screaming obscenities at my group of basketball campers. Summer between 6th grade and 7th grade. We were in a layup drill, and Bobby Knight is completely losing his shit snd screaming at us kids for not properly executing layups. That was pretty much the end of my desire to play basketball.
	♥ 2:20am TomDash: Thanks Dave! And good to hear NOLA is hanging in there...I know it was tough going after Mardi Gras, etc...staying safe here in NYC - left the city for the FIRST time overnight since January 2020 for the Holidays - stayed within NY State - B & B Upstate - was weird and liberating at the same time...
	♥ 2:21am ultradamno: I have no direct Bobby Knight memories but Alex can tell you about Steve Alford saying racist things about Michigan in the lunch line.
	♥ 2:23am ultradamno: Now my experiences with Alford's dad are about as unpleasant as your Knight experiences
	♥ 2:23am diciassette: Love Lithics! You're really making it all fit!
	♥ 2:24am TomDash: I'm trying diciassette, I'm trying!
	2:27am Dave Miss: Well to everyone, flying is actually one of the safest things you can do… It’s getting through the airport and into your new location safely. Don’t takeoff that iN95 for nothing at all… So travel anywhere. This coronavirus is really about stagnant air and being in that situation. The airlines are doing an incredible job to have UV filters as well as MERV & HEPA filters as well for air circulation
	2:27am egould310: All my interactions with the Alford’s were pretty unpleasant. I mean shit, I thought a week long Summer skills camp would be fun. Then Alford invites Bobby Knight up for the day and this maniac starts cussing at us?! I mean, the dude lost his shit. Over a layup drill. During a Summer camp. For 12 year olds.
	♥ 2:31am ultradamno: Considering how much he came to dislike me over my indifference to making it to gym on time (hey, it was a long walk from social studies and I was going to run or walk briskly to get there) I really don't know how I wound up with a gym credit
	♥ 2:32am diciassette: Strangler-y?
	♥ 2:33am ultradamno: Was *not going to, that is. A little more Fall that Stranglers, I think
	♥ 2:34am ultradamno: Though early Fall and Stranglers kind of brush up against one other.
	♥ 2:34am TomDash: Funny I hear the Stranglers now, good call...always heard The Fall too...
	♥ 2:35am TomDash: Although I think we can all agree, The Cardboard Man is a total asshole...
	2:35am egould310: At the end of the year, Coach Alford asked himself, “Do I really want to see ultradamno again next year?” No I don’t. Grade: B-
	2:40am Dave Miss: Thanks skeletons Scott
	♥ 2:45am TomDash: hey wait a second "Tabbed" View? I get it...
	♥ 2:46am ultradamno: Sure, like post-it tabs to keep your documents organized for tax time. I see no other interpretation. Ryan is responsible with his finances
	♥ 2:48am TomDash: As we wind down, I want to wish all you super cool, fantastic and supportive loyal listeners and very Happy New Year! Love how y'all hang for these shows. I know I sound redundant, but means the world to me! Let's kick 2020 to the curb and usher in 2021 asap!
	2:49am egould310: Yeah man, tabbed. Let’s smoke some tabs and go scare some old people. Let’s freak out!
	2:51am egould310: Thanks for playing the hits, Tom. Happy New Year to you and to WFMU listeners.
	♥ 2:51am diciassette: Let's show our hinds to 2020!
	2:52am rw: Thank you TD!!!
	♥ 2:53am TomDash: hey there rw...most welcome - Happy New Year! And yes diciassette - many great releases in 2020...and that is all!
	♥ 2:56am coelacanth∅: another excellent program Tom! been listening the whole way from the start, though doing other than littering the comments board with my usual annoying chatter. Happy new year! (and to whomever i don't cross paths with again before that) tchau
	2:57am Jedley: Thanks for all the new music! Safe travels to 2021 ✲ﾟ｡⋆
	2:57am Ajay: Loved the show Tom. Thankyou. Onwards and upwards into 2021!
	2:57am Dave Miss: It will be a real new year for all of us together. Thx WFMU for holding it together when the rest of us are losing it.
	♥ 2:57am TomDash: awww...thanks coel! Happy New Year to ya!
	♥ 2:58am TomDash: thanks jedley, Ajay, Dave!
	♥ 2:58am ultradamno: Thanks Tom, Scott, skeletons. Night all, meet you for best of blues in the evening.
	♥ 2:59am diciassette: Thank you TomDash! Hasta pasta and gesundheit
	♥ 2:59am TomDash: Ok folks, Happy New Year to y'all! Thanks for hanging for this year-end round up. Stay Healthy & Safe! Love spreading the music over the airwaves and interwebs...see ya in the new year for new jams....oh yeah FUCK YOU 2020...let's bring 2021 asap! PEACE Y'ALL
