	♥ 1:21pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:17 The Mamas and the Papas song Glad to Be Unhappy is all about unrequited love, as it touched the band members. Cass was in love with Denny, he only saw her as a friend, but Denny fooled around with Michelle which tore the whole band up.
	♥ 1:21pm Krys O.: Hi, Oleh!
	🎢 ♥ 1:22pm newton: ↳ fred @1:17 that is awkward. I first heard the werd of BoB on tapes, very freeform, tha a friend made.

	♥ 1:31pm Hugh: Hi Krys and all! Great to hear that Wm Berger story. I moved into Diane's place in 87 and met y'all then. Wm would hang out and play Sabbath and whatnot on the acoustic geetar. Good times

	🎢 ♥ 1:36pm Webhamster Henry: Hi McHuge!
	♥ 1:36pm Krys O.: ↳ Oleh from Pittsburgh @1:34 I rapped the liner notes to an LP by Tedd Browne, an album I bought at the Sally Army when I was in high school. The liner notes always made me laugh. I had the LP with me because I think I followed Wm on the schedule then.

	♥ 1:53pm Krys O.: ↳ Dan S @1:52 Hi, Dan! Something tells me that they'll do just fine.

	♥ 2:03pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:00 Aye, I completely understand that.
	🎢 ♥ 2:04pm yerfriendpaul: Hi Krys, everyone!
	2:05pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Rrrread. The powers of x. That should be a band name, if not ever.
	♥ 2:05pm doctorjazz: Hi Krys and Streamers!
	♥ 2:05pm Krys O.: Hello, Paul!
	♥ 2:05pm Krys O.: Hello, doctorjazz!
	2:06pm Uncle Monk: This teacher's accent sounds like he's going to start selling them Wonka Bars.
	♥ 2:08pm Krys O.: ↳ Uncle Monk @2:06 HA!
	♥ 2:09pm Krys O.: Hello, Uncle Monk!
	🎢 ♥ 2:10pm fred: Discipline comes up quite often there
	2:11pm Uncle Monk: Hello!
	♥ 2:12pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:10 Quite.
	2:14pm Uncle Monk: Wagner?
	♥ 2:15pm Krys O.: ↳ Uncle Monk @2:14 Could be. Not sure.
	2:16pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Krys O. @2:15 Not a big fan of Wagner but sounds a lot like What's Opera Doc.
	🎢 ♥ 2:17pm WR: 1% distortion at 10 watts. Unacceptable! LOL
	2:17pm Uncle Monk: This narrator loves his assignment.
	🎢 ♥ 2:18pm newton: 0% distortion @ Alan Watts
	♥ 2:18pm Krys O.: ↳ Uncle Monk @2:16 Ah, the first exposure for many to classical music. I sought out classical stations on my own as a kid while I listened to other genres as well.
	♥ 2:18pm Krys O.: ↳ newton @2:18 ROFLMAO!
	2:19pm Uncle Monk: ↳ newton @2:18 rimshot
	🎢 ♥ 2:26pm Webhamster Henry: I think I had this Stereo Demo Record.
	🎢 ♥ 2:27pm Webhamster Henry: Will it play España in a little time?
	🎢 ♥ 2:27pm WR: I heard a few bits of feedback squeal. Was that on the BBC recording?
	♥ 2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:26 It's very Firesign Theater.
	♥ 2:28pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @2:27 Yes.
	♥ 2:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @2:17 This is 1959, tube electroncs, a whole different kettle of fish than solid state (which didn't become common in gear until maybe years later). Some audiophiles will swear tube gear distortion is musical (2nd order harmonics, make for smooth sound, as opposed to odd orders, which supposedly are harsh, more un-musical, even in much smaller amounts).
	♥ 2:28pm Krys O.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:28 Right!
	♥ 2:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:28 (from a geeky audiophile) (great to meet you at Roulette WR, btw!)
	🎢 ♥ 2:30pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @2:28 Yes, sure, I was being silly over the analog specs vs. digital spec of recent times. I haven't done any serious audiophile listening in decades.
	2:30pm Uncle Monk: Here's the short on YouTube. The first comment is a guy naming some of the equipment shown: youtu.be... (there's a higher quality version on the BBC Archives too)
	🎢 ♥ 2:31pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @2:30 Likewise, DoctorJ.
	♥ 2:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Honky Tonk Train Blues" by "Bob Crosby and His Or... This is cool!
	🎢 ♥ 2:31pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 I just ordered this Firesign book: Firesign: The Electromagnetic History of Everything as Told on Nine Comedy Albums
	2:31pm Mr Fab: That BBC special reminded me how little I know about hi-fi’s . I had a coworker who was always telling me about stereo, like “last weekend I was adjusting my speakers again”, stuff like that. But he never told me what he was actually listening to
	2:32pm Uncle Monk: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 2:32pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @2:31 Oh, my. It could have been England Dan & John Ford Coley for all you know.
	♥ 2:32pm Krys O.: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:31 Thanks for the tip.
	♥ 2:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mr Fab @2:31 The old audiophile typecast (true in some cases), thousands of dollars in High End Gear, with 10 audiophile-approved (awful musically, good sounding) albums owned...
	🎢 ♥ 2:34pm WR: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:31 Is that a newly published Firesign book?
	2:35pm Uncle Monk: Whoa, the director of that short was John Schlesinger, who later went on to do Billy Liar, Midnight Cowboy, and Marathon Man.
	🎢 ♥ 2:35pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Hotta Chocolatta" by "De John Sisters" Large Language has a Hot Chocolate piece too: largelanguage.bandcamp.com...
	🎢 ♥ 2:35pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ WR @2:34 from 2024, relatively new.
	🎢 ♥ 2:39pm newton: damn, I'll go to Pleasant Valley tomorrow
	♥ 2:39pm northguineahills: Krys! got here for the end!
	🎢 ♥ 2:39pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Pleasant Valley Sunday (demo)" by "Carole King" A blatant rip-off of "Another Pleasant Spaceship Journey"
	♥ 2:40pm Krys O.: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:39 Teehee!
	♥ 2:41pm Krys O.: Hi, ngh!
	♥ 2:42pm Krys O.: ↳ newton @2:39 I'm occasionally on Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange commuting home from work. The ear worm is unavoidable.
	🎢 ♥ 2:42pm fred: I'll say thank you and goodbye now. There's a quorum of listeners who want me out
	♥ 2:44pm Krys O.: Take care, fred! No one wants you out unless it's out and about in a happy state of mind. Cheers!
	🎢 ♥ 2:45pm newton: ↳ Krys O. @2:44 Seconded
	♥ 2:46pm doctorjazz: The dogs are clamoring for their walk, will listen to the end on the walk, thanks Krys!
	🎢 ♥ 2:46pm WR: ↳ fred @2:42 Laters, Fred, always good to see you on the playlist comments
	🎢 ♥ 2:46pm yerfriendpaul: Listening while I’m outside walking my dog Mabel. Beautiful day! The music is making it even better!
	♥ 2:46pm Krys O.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:46 Enjoy!
	♥ 2:47pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:46 !!!!
	🎢 ♥ 2:48pm WR: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:35 Thank you.
	♥ 2:49pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Blue Light Microphone" by "Gloria Jones" Of course, I goofed up the title to this. Oof.
	🎢 ♥ 2:50pm newton: I too, must out with the dog. Thanks Krys!!
	♥ 2:50pm Krys O.: Thanks for being here! Much obliged!
	♥ 2:50pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:42 flips pages in the wfmu bylaws, reads the parchment. nah, there's nothing here about a quorum of listeners making someone leave, i say stay. /now if some is trolling, the dj can time them out....
	♥ 2:52pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:00 i saw him open for radiohead in liberty state park (JC). he had a camera above him projected on a screen so you can see his turntablizing in detailed action.
	♥ 2:53pm northguineahills: souper happy thanks, Krys!
	♥ 2:54pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @2:48 WeeR!~!
	♥ 2:54pm northguineahills: ↳ newton @2:50 newtonian!
	2:55pm Uncle Monk: Only roller coaster I enjoy riding. Thanks Krys.
	♥ 2:55pm northguineahills: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:39 internetty desert rodent hutch! /nicknames are hard, and are getting of control...

	🎢 ♥ 1:56pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:45 Chances are if they do it will be too expensive and at a place I'm too old to get into
	♥ 1:56pm Hugh: Hi Henry! How's Kingston?
	🎢 ♥ 1:57pm winston legthigh: praise bob.
	🎢 ♥ 1:59pm newton: ↳ Song: "It's a Battleground: The British Education System... it wasn't all To Sir With Love?
	♥ 2:00pm Krys O.: ↳ newton @1:59 LOL!
	🎢 ♥ 2:00pm fred: ↳ fred @1:56 I did once wait over an hour to get in to see Kid Koala (I had a ticket) I'm not doing that again
	♥ 2:03pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:00 Aye, I completely understand that.
	🎢 ♥ 2:04pm yerfriendpaul: Hi Krys, everyone!
	2:05pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Rrrread. The powers of x. That should be a band name, if not ever.
	♥ 2:05pm doctorjazz: Hi Krys and Streamers!
	♥ 2:05pm Krys O.: Hello, Paul!
	♥ 2:05pm Krys O.: Hello, doctorjazz!
	2:06pm Uncle Monk: This teacher's accent sounds like he's going to start selling them Wonka Bars.
	♥ 2:08pm Krys O.: ↳ Uncle Monk @2:06 HA!
	♥ 2:09pm Krys O.: Hello, Uncle Monk!
	🎢 ♥ 2:10pm fred: Discipline comes up quite often there
	2:11pm Uncle Monk: Hello!
	♥ 2:12pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:10 Quite.
	2:14pm Uncle Monk: Wagner?
	♥ 2:15pm Krys O.: ↳ Uncle Monk @2:14 Could be. Not sure.
	2:16pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Krys O. @2:15 Not a big fan of Wagner but sounds a lot like What's Opera Doc.
	🎢 ♥ 2:17pm WR: 1% distortion at 10 watts. Unacceptable! LOL
	2:17pm Uncle Monk: This narrator loves his assignment.
	🎢 ♥ 2:18pm newton: 0% distortion @ Alan Watts
	♥ 2:18pm Krys O.: ↳ Uncle Monk @2:16 Ah, the first exposure for many to classical music. I sought out classical stations on my own as a kid while I listened to other genres as well.
	♥ 2:18pm Krys O.: ↳ newton @2:18 ROFLMAO!
	2:19pm Uncle Monk: ↳ newton @2:18 rimshot
	🎢 ♥ 2:26pm Webhamster Henry: I think I had this Stereo Demo Record.
	🎢 ♥ 2:27pm Webhamster Henry: Will it play España in a little time?
	🎢 ♥ 2:27pm WR: I heard a few bits of feedback squeal. Was that on the BBC recording?
	♥ 2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:26 It's very Firesign Theater.
	♥ 2:28pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @2:27 Yes.
	♥ 2:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @2:17 This is 1959, tube electroncs, a whole different kettle of fish than solid state (which didn't become common in gear until maybe years later). Some audiophiles will swear tube gear distortion is musical (2nd order harmonics, make for smooth sound, as opposed to odd orders, which supposedly are harsh, more un-musical, even in much smaller amounts).
	♥ 2:28pm Krys O.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:28 Right!
	♥ 2:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:28 (from a geeky audiophile) (great to meet you at Roulette WR, btw!)
	🎢 ♥ 2:30pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @2:28 Yes, sure, I was being silly over the analog specs vs. digital spec of recent times. I haven't done any serious audiophile listening in decades.
	2:30pm Uncle Monk: Here's the short on YouTube. The first comment is a guy naming some of the equipment shown: youtu.be... (there's a higher quality version on the BBC Archives too)

	♥ 2:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Honky Tonk Train Blues" by "Bob Crosby and His Or... This is cool!
	🎢 ♥ 2:31pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 I just ordered this Firesign book: Firesign: The Electromagnetic History of Everything as Told on Nine Comedy Albums
	2:31pm Mr Fab: That BBC special reminded me how little I know about hi-fi’s . I had a coworker who was always telling me about stereo, like “last weekend I was adjusting my speakers again”, stuff like that. But he never told me what he was actually listening to
	2:32pm Uncle Monk: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 2:32pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @2:31 Oh, my. It could have been England Dan & John Ford Coley for all you know.
	♥ 2:32pm Krys O.: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:31 Thanks for the tip.
	♥ 2:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mr Fab @2:31 The old audiophile typecast (true in some cases), thousands of dollars in High End Gear, with 10 audiophile-approved (awful musically, good sounding) albums owned...
	🎢 ♥ 2:34pm WR: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:31 Is that a newly published Firesign book?
	2:35pm Uncle Monk: Whoa, the director of that short was John Schlesinger, who later went on to do Billy Liar, Midnight Cowboy, and Marathon Man.
	🎢 ♥ 2:35pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Hotta Chocolatta" by "De John Sisters" Large Language has a Hot Chocolate piece too: largelanguage.bandcamp.com...

	♥ 2:41pm Krys O.: Hi, ngh!
	♥ 2:42pm Krys O.: ↳ newton @2:39 I'm occasionally on Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange commuting home from work. The ear worm is unavoidable.
	🎢 ♥ 2:42pm fred: I'll say thank you and goodbye now. There's a quorum of listeners who want me out
	♥ 2:44pm Krys O.: Take care, fred! No one wants you out unless it's out and about in a happy state of mind. Cheers!

	♥ 2:52pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:00 i saw him open for radiohead in liberty state park (JC). he had a camera above him projected on a screen so you can see his turntablizing in detailed action.
