	3:08pm ?: Travelin' Band: That's the greatest rock song of all-time. 2 minutes and 37 seconds of ____s to the wall rock and roll about being in a rock and roll band.
	3:08pm Robm: Howdy handy kate back from rainy seattle yet?
	3:08pm Handy Haversack: Did Rex break the playlist?
	3:08pm efd: Hi Todd! As your marathon MC I have access to your playlists... want me to try to enter something while you're working on sorting it out?
	3:09pm listener 126464: fuck art, let's dance
	3:09pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I've got this one cranked up LOUD
	3:09pm Robm: @Handy must be putin messing with this station
	3:10pm SWK: Dulcet on my face
	3:10pm efd: this is why we broadcast from Studio B for two weeks before the marathon starts
	👻 3:10pm Frank In Queens: Oh this is rich!
	3:10pm Handy Haversack: What's more likely? We know Rex was there. Also, Michael Shelley has had it out for Turntable 1 for a while!
	3:11pm Corey: Hello TOPT and listeners!

	3:11pm Handy Haversack: We're with you, Todd! Ride or die as the kids? Boomers? Gen Xers? TV people? say!

	3:12pm Dungaroos Kipawah: There we go!
	3:12pm Van Winkle: As it happens...can't say I'm much of a Chubby & The Gang fan (sorry Gang)...so I'm happy to hear other tracks...
	3:13pm LesleyK: Greetings everyone!
	3:13pm Jack McGuire: The Motahs!!
	👻 3:13pm Frank In Queens: Hi Lesley!
	3:13pm Dungaroos Kipawah: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e5ryzyjh-Uo
	3:14pm LesleyK: Hey Frank! Cool news about ur dad's band

	3:15pm Robm: Looks like ken maybe driving in to rescue todd
	3:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Invisible Killer Playlist
	3:16pm sydnius: Studio B 👊🏿
	3:16pm Handy Haversack: Bagpipe is willing to call in to be interviewed if needed. Dungaroos K, how you doing, friend? No NOLA this year?
	3:16pm Robm: Oh boy dead air
	3:17pm Handy Haversack: Emergency SPOX
	👻 3:17pm Frank In Queens: @Lesley, thanks! We're both very excited about finally having a release date.
	3:17pm PaulRobeson1920: There is more silence inside each of us than anything else… Silence is good. WFMU is good
	3:17pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Handy! No NOLA yet, have to sit out the high holies, but will be celebrating—via music & beads—at the bar.
	👻 3:18pm rx scabin: Ken's phone is ringing.
	3:18pm G: Back home from the Saturday midday Krewe of Iris (female) uptown mardi gras parade. Mary Ellen (my s.o.) used to ride with them in the 90s when she had kids at home, and she knew several people of some of the floats today.
	3:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: Music playing over the stream. Success!
	3:19pm squidbeak: Top man Todd!
	3:19pm medson: Alright Hector.
	3:20pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Well done TOPT, back online!
	👻 3:20pm Frank In Queens: Nice!
	3:20pm Robm: Frankly i thought it was the russians screwing around with this station
	3:21pm Dennis Diken: you go, Todd! Hey gang!
	3:21pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @G sounds like a grand day. Deacon John playing block party uptown, I believe on Oak just above Tulane if you have a second wind.
	3:22pm Handy Haversack: Stream and FM both on leads to some interesting contrasts right now. Wishing you celebration and joy, Dungaroos K! We're seeing shows Thu. and Fri., so I'm not sure I can make it out yet another night this week -- age is grabbing our ankles!
	3:22pm Fishtown Mike: Jezzus, I forgot the sound was up so loud, and was distracted with an email. Almost soiled myself when you came back online, TOPT!
	3:22pm PaulRobeson1920: Ah. Silence, my old friend
	👻 3:22pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hey Todd & fellow listeners! Hey LesleyK, it was great meeting you last weekend! Hey Handy.
	👻 3:23pm Frank In Queens: You need to get into classic FM format and play album sides today, Todd.
	👻 3:23pm rx scabin: Is it Rex's fault?
	3:24pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Dickies rule OK! Everything is Rex's fault. Always.
	3:24pm Robm: @PR1920 that’s what makes this station so great, is the screw ups, won’t hear that on commercial music radio
	3:24pm Jack McGuire: Perfect pop slab from the Dickies.
	3:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'd be asking what No Brow was doing in the studio an hour ago.
	3:24pm DonJuanTijuana: Who’s the wise guy tryin to mute 🤐 TOPT?
	3:25pm efd: @Handy It hadn't occurred to me that there'd be different audio on the stream... very mysterious!
	3:25pm LesleyK: Hey Mike from BK, you too!
	3:26pm elkeno: dead air chickens
	3:26pm Jack McGuire: Mic on Todd
	👻 3:26pm Frank In Queens: C'mon, Side One of Zeppelin IV. Do it!
	3:26pm LesleyK: Hey medson..I got my hector singles a few days ago
	3:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Careful, Todd. No swears!
	3:27pm Handy Haversack: Yes, suspicion follows Rex like night follows day. Hey, Mike From BK! Right, efd? K8 is telling me I'm not allowed to continue the two-source experiment, but I think many FMU DJs would approve! I think 91.1 is one of the emergency back-up modules? It started with "Angst in My Pants." The stream is picking up Todd's convo (hot mic!) and was getting some of his tunes.
	3:27pm medson: @lesley awesome.
	3:27pm ike-o: peace
	3:28pm LesleyK: He's back!
	👻 3:28pm Mike From Brooklyn: We got music on the stream.
	3:28pm dday: 90.1 is alive & kicking!
	3:28pm Alicja Uleeshuh: Goblins in the station
	3:28pm PaulRobeson1920: no such thing as failure only feedback It’s ok to like Commercial Radio @Robm Because I’m clapping & happy when I hear the happy song! And that other one, mambo number 5!
	3:28pm nardo: Is this a Bryce fill in? One of those John Cage pieces I'm guessing?
	3:28pm efd: yeah, this seems to be a multi-faceted snafu. I'm feeling for Todd right now, there's no worse feeling than being in the middle of something like this.
	3:29pm Jack McGuire: And thus, the reason for the fund raiser.
	3:29pm Handy Haversack: I know, poor Todd! Someone in JC get some beer to Studio B in a hurry!
	3:30pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I think the issue largely resides with whatever idiot DJ took channel 7 out of program and didn't put it back.
	3:30pm Chop Scott: Stream is fine--91.1 air signal is not.
	3:32pm Fredericks: "I can't hear a G#d D*mn thing."
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: 91.9 matches the stream (as best I can tell; it doesn't come in great here).
	3:33pm efd: ahh, Todd back on 91.1!
	3:33pm Handy Haversack: 91.1 is back!
	3:33pm Chop Scott: 91.1 air signal is back!!
	3:34pm Robm: @Todd I guess some DJ is going to get a ass chewing from ken on Monday
	3:36pm Handy Haversack: We brought home a bunch of frozen Miller High Life from a shipping container under the bridge this afternoon. I'm gonna crack one open in your honor, Todd! Glad to be hearing your voice!
	3:36pm suzyhotrod: OMG! I had a note to myself to look up that song from the 7-11 commercial haha. Ya beat me to it.
	3:37pm dday: @Handy: and you were ragging on Schafer Beer the other day :) ?
	👻 3:37pm Hoboken Jack: Just a quick hello, everybody! Today I'm Newark Liberty International Airport Jack.
	3:38pm Handy Haversack: A sack's gotta have a code, dday! Hey, Jack!
	3:38pm Dennis Diken: Todd! thanks for the nice shout out!
	3:38pm dday: @Handy: did that case come with a take home bum?
	3:39pm Fredericks: Rambling, Jack?
	3:40pm medson: Runway Jack.
	👻 3:40pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, I could murder a pint right now.
	3:41pm Handy Haversack: Come on by, Frank! Bridge High Lifes are on me!
	3:42pm scott zee: Hell yes
	3:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...knew Slade was coming in here somewhere!...
	👻 3:43pm TonyR: So tired ... of Ronnie Wood hate among Stones fans. Yeah, Rod Stewart really flew to new heights after parting ways with Woody....
	3:43pm Don F.: Live Rod. Nice TOPT. In the words Pepe le Pew "Oy vey what a day."
	3:44pm medson: @FIQ I’ll be hitting a new brewery later an murdering a few pints.
	👻 3:45pm TonyR: Iz the playlist busted?
	👻 3:45pm rx scabin: I am murdering a Martini.
	👻 3:45pm rx scabin: When I get in a jam, I ask "what would TopT do?" and soldier on.
	👻 3:46pm Frank In Queens: Enjoy, medson! Unexpectedly back on the wagon for the last week due to illness.
	👻 3:46pm rx scabin: It works.
	👻 3:46pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, thanks for the offer, but trust me, you don't want me to come over right now.
	👻 3:47pm TonyR: I used to take dry Novembers. Don't know why. but turned out pretty easy to do for me.
	3:47pm DonJuanTijuana: Spencer with some keyboards..interesting.
	👻 3:48pm Frank In Queens: @Tony, I always do Jan because I'm usually fed up with all the holiday indulgences. I know a lot of people who choose February because it's the shortest month!
	👻 3:49pm TonyR: Jet?
	👻 3:49pm TonyR: Jet.
	3:51pm dday: Abstaining yearly from mid-Oct. to mid - April. Cleaning out the system
	👻 3:51pm Frank In Queens: Wow, I thought this was a modern take on this song and I was impressed that someone wanted to nail the production value of the song like this. Then I looked up Iron Virgin and now it makes more sense.
	3:51pm Van Winkle: Alt Jet...with an interesting accent...pray tell...who were/are they?
	👻 3:52pm TonyR: New icons. I guess the '22 Marathon has unofficially begin.
	👻 3:53pm TonyR: *begun. The Marathon has only just _begun_.
	3:53pm medson: TOPT is also an Olympic sprinter.
	👻 3:53pm TonyR: The Marathon longs to be... close to you.
	3:54pm Handy Haversack: Ooof, sorry to hear it, Frank -- feel better soonest!
	👻 3:55pm TonyR: Teacher! Todd's going back and filling in the beginning of the test!!!
	👻 3:55pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, already on the mend but I don't want to undo what my immune system has done by knocking a few back. Besides, GBV show on Friday so I'll be able to make up for it then!
	👻 3:55pm Frank In Queens: Bon!
	3:56pm Ben from Toledo: Deep AC/DC tracks are so good. Nice play here Todd.
	3:58pm Fredericks: I wonder what program 7 is? Sounds mysterious and is obviously important.
	3:58pm Moammar: They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry.
	👻 3:59pm TonyR: Retarded sexuality and bad poetry is my life story.
	4:01pm Fredericks: Seems like Iron Virgin may have inspired Iron Maiden name-wise at least.
	4:03pm Van Winkle: Worry not Todd...we don't blame it on you re the early "live radio" performance. Your post commentary was heartfelt..
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: Frank, we have Connells on Thu. and Mattiel on Fri. I am going to need a steady alcohol regiment to get ready for it!
	👻 4:05pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, some times you have to inoculate!
	4:06pm bobobob Plasticland: wiki says The Fugitives from Sacramento Ca
	4:06pm Handy Haversack: *regimen See?!
	4:06pm Saltonstall: Dave Hill has always been a skinhead under that incredible comb over
	4:09pm PaulRobeson1920: HappPpPpY Birthday, Dennis Diken!!! Hip Hip Hooray!!!!
	4:10pm Van Winkle: Nice that Orville can sing those lyrics on the radio...in the 2020s.
	4:16pm Jack McGuire: Tops Manzanera solo.
	4:17pm Dennis Diken: thanks very much indeed, PaulRobeson1920!!
	4:19pm dday: Hey Frederick's How's the healing going ?
	4:21pm dday: Hello Dennis D..is it OK for me to recommend playing Chris Bolger's "No Promises?"
	4:22pm morphe': Sadly missed the last 1/2 of Rex ..but here foe the last 1 &1/2 of TopT !!!!!!
	👻 4:31pm Frank In Queens: Benny sounding great on this track.
	4:31pm larry: HaPPy, HaPPy DeNNis...LUV your show, never miss it...!!
	👻 4:32pm rx scabin: TopT Excellent show.
	4:32pm Creature Boy: Not sure what was going on w the station & all that but this Benny cut cooks
	4:32pm Ignore Function: Didn't know you were healing, FONPR, but I hope it's going well.
	4:32pm Dennis Diken: @larry - thanks a million, it means a lot to me! @dday - good call! great tune, that one!
	4:32pm Joe Castrianni: It was a great show last Saturday.
	4:37pm medson: Heading out Todd. Catch the archives for the rest. Sorry for your stressful start today. Be well pal.
	4:37pm Jack McGuire: That Mellows single kills.
	4:42pm bobsmart567: Todd playing Temples - awesome!! These guys are great live.
	4:42pm Van Winkle: I sure could use some Temples todaze... they're a great live act...if they haven't split up...they don't release stuff very often ...
	4:43pm Dennis Diken: sure 'nuff diggin' the show, young Todd!
	4:44pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Dennis! Hope you had a great birthday!
	4:46pm Ciggy: George's b'day yesterday. "She's a drag, a well-known drag. You turn the sound down on her and say rude things."
	4:46pm Dennis Diken: indeed! my birthday weekend made even better with today's show!!
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Awlright George... Vakratunda Mahakaya Surya Koti Sama Prabha Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva Karyesu Sarvada. & for you, Hare Krishna..
	👻 4:48pm TonyR: I confused "Spoon" and "Train" a couple weeks back in the chat. But dug deeper and Spoon is cool.
	4:53pm Van Winkle: I heard some other Dropper recently. I kind of like her vocals and the band's overall laconic nod to the 70s production. Tks for playing.
	4:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Van Winkle: Just trying to keep you awake!
	4:55pm Van Winkle: BTW...my back brain just caught up and of course...meant languid...in a good way. ;-) Re Dropper
	4:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Van Winkle: I was just referring to your name (or at least the name you use on this board).
	👻 4:57pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, how was the Elton John show the other night?
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: How many FMU DJs saw Sir Elton at MSG this past week, I wonder? And how many songs did he dedicate to them? (He knows which side his bread is buttered on!)
	4:58pm Van Winkle: This is the only board I comment on. I had a slip up on ice 4 years ago (to this day) and don't do much tech stuff anymore. However...I can figure this old skool comment board just fine. ;-)
	👻 4:59pm Joel: Todd.. What a truly inspired and sublime segue
	4:59pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: It was good...he was definitely somewhat gassed for the second part of the show...not surprising considering he's 74.
	👻 4:59pm rx scabin: I was just thinking how much this EJ song sounds like that Bowie song. Or vice versa.
	5:00pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Sorry to hear that @Van Winkle...
	👻 5:00pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, I'm sure. And it wasn't a one-off show, right? He played a few nights in a row?
	5:01pm Joe B: plus Elton had COVID at the beginning of the month. So it's only been 3 or 4 shows since he's returned so I'm sure it is affecting him
	5:01pm morphe': I think Shelia B said she went to the EJ show???
	👻 5:01pm karlward: Handy: make up a Lillet blanc cocktail named “Amoreena”
	5:02pm Joe B: Julie B was at the Garden Wednesday
	5:02pm Mike East: LOVE Amoreena, one of my favorites...opening line gets stuck in my head often. Just picked up Rock of the Westies last week in Brooklyn....have yet to spin it.
	5:03pm morphe': Van Winkle - serious query - would audio interface help?
	👻 5:03pm Frank In Queens: WHAT??????
	5:03pm listener monica: Elton was always there for me.
	5:04pm ?: Oh yes....Carbou was the first record that was my own⭐
	5:06pm Handy Haversack: karlward: 2 oz. applejack, .5 oz Lillet, .5 oz. St. Germain, dust rim with cayenne, garnish with twig of honeyed sycamore.
	5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always found EltonJohn a completely convincing Singer - for just one thing. Usually great material (tho like many he had a weaker & trendier MTV Period... but he's somehow pretty much exempt from my troubling allergy to Mainstream 70s~80s Hits...)
	5:07pm Creature Boy: From my Facebook memories t0dAy "Sting doesn't look at all like Popeye morphing into a mannequin" @todd-0 & for what it's worth
	5:07pm Handy Haversack: Marathon, Hellraiser, and SWAGVENT: the only holidays it's still OK to get excited about!
	5:08pm Joe B: freezing hands - another Matt Rendon project
	5:08pm Handy Haversack: Sounds great!
	5:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's got a very unique voice...I think it's mainly the expressiveness of it.
	👻 5:09pm Frank In Queens: I think the only Elton John song I own is The Who's cover of "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" on the 30 Years Of Maximum R&B boxset.
	5:09pm efd: This Freezing Hands is great!
	5:11pm Creature Boy: Easybeats cover? Yes
	5:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Creature Boy: Yes...oft-covered gem!
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Conversely (?) - Elton's 'PinballWizard' (& performance in the weirdass Tommy film) are pretty great. Not everyone can take TheWho on that effectively...
	5:13pm Fredericks: @dday: progressing nicely. Little scarring on chest. Gotta figure out how stay protected from the sun for a year. In Florida, that can be tricky. Currently, listening to Todd and shopping for protective head and face gear. Thanks for checking on me.
	5:14pm Van Winkle: @ morphe. Actually, turns out the fall was a "red herring" to another related health issue...BUT happy to report hearing remains perfect, vision less-so...so radio and streaming music has happily become my "alt" to t.v./reading. No biggie...I totally front loaded my life...too many shoes to mention. ;-)
	5:14pm Handy Haversack: Glad to hear it, Fredericks!
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Power & Healing to you Van Winkle & Fredericks
	👻 5:15pm Frank In Queens: @Rev63, most people can't. I think Elton's version of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is also the only thing worth a damn off the "All This And World War II" soundtrack.
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Frank: Speaking of weirdo projects ! Never come near that one ! Intrigued actually...
	5:16pm Fredericks: And Happy Birthday, Mister Diken.
	5:17pm clarke: just back from a slew of parades. they all asked fo' you!!
	5:18pm Creature Boy: Wow this must be Phantom on a 45. Sounds different than the comp versions
	5:18pm clarke: perhaps you are thinking of Night Of The Sadist - the original version??
	5:18pm morphe': Van Winkle - if it was possible to get you = free to you - audio set up to help you interact with FMU and the wider web ... would that be helpful ... free for you...
	5:19pm Creature Boy: (Well aware of the sadist/phantom issue)
	5:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Creature Boy: Many moons ago I came upon a catalog that had copies of "Night Of The Phantom" for $2 a pop...I managed to get a half dozen or so. Wish I still had a few extra!
	5:20pm Dennis Diken: It was also Jim Backus’ birthday yesterday….I’m just sayin’…
	5:22pm Van Winkle: @ morphe. It's the "taking in and on" of new processes that is the issue. But I've been creating sone pretty simplified systems) efficiencies of my own. I just like to hear the music...and LOUD!!! Like right now!!!
	5:23pm morphe': OK VW... glad you are good !!!!!!!
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JimBackus - the Dad in 'Rebel Without a Cause'. Which I knew - but somehow don't connect with Thurston & McGoo...
	👻 5:24pm rx scabin: If Todd keeps this up, I will be having an out of body experience. My too close geographically neighbors are wondering about me: anxious secret glances. Angry Secret Glances seems to be a good name or title, and it is mine.
	👻 5:24pm John L: Damn, missed the Elton conversation while I was closing up at work. Elton was my first arena show, Nassau Coliseum 1972. Joe B. reminded me that it had opened that year. Two things come to mind: 1. Cool. 2. I'm frickin' old.
	👻 5:25pm rx scabin: Also, anxious secret glances.
	5:25pm DG: Frank in my boro: Actually, Frankie Laine, of all people, does a good version of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" on there too, and Tina Turner (Come Together) & Rod (Get Back, which I think is on a collection of his too) are good, from what I remember (heard the album years ago, never saw the film---which apparently is too embarrassing to even be on VHS or DVD). And Roy Wood & Jeff Lynne are on it too (separately).
	5:25pm Creature Boy: Wow
	5:26pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Before his final number last night EJ reminisced about his Jersey shows (giving the # of them which I've since forgotten) but specifically referenced early shows in Wildwood and Asbury Park.
	5:27pm DG: John L: I saw Elton the year after at the same place, one of my first big--arena-rockshows, & he did a bunch of stuff from "Yellow Brick Road" (inc. Funeral/Love Lies Bleeding) which wasn't even out yet (we only knew "...Saturday Night," since it was a single then). And for the encore, "Honky Tonk Women" he brought out Bernie & Loudon Wainwright, I think....I have some of it on a cassette somewhere.
	👻 5:27pm Will the Sound Guy: I was listening before, but just came on to say Hi Todd-o-Phonic Todd and all!!!!
	👻 5:29pm Frank In Queens: @DG, well, it's been ages since I've heard any of it. Maybe I'll revisit one day if I have the time.
	5:30pm Dennis Diken: Joey Dee’s “Peppermint Twist Chronicles” is quite the page turner!
	5:30pm Listener Robert: Just logged in to say I loved the lyric a few songs back, "Your mind's made up, but your head's in the sand."
	👻 5:31pm John L: DG: Nice. When I saw him Legs "Larry" Smith came out and did a tune with him. Family opened, but I had no idea who they were then; for some reason I was familiar with the Bonzo Dog Band.
	5:31pm elkeno: Comeback DJ of the day...TOPT
	5:31pm I never noticed: How on top and how heavy the drum was on Psychotic Reaction before.
	5:31pm BenZ WPB: I remember seeing Elton John at MSG around 1978 or 1979. All I remember is him kicking over the piano stool at one pojnt. QuarterFlash opened. Don’t remember anything of their set either.
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How kewl to cover that PrettyThings (& well).
	5:33pm Van Winkle: Saw Elton again for his "last tour" pre-C19. He's apparently...coming back to our town again soon. ;-) Enjoyed greatly in the nosebleeds. I recall sewing a quilted faux denim with star "bolero" number to wear to a mid 70s show... combined with a several blocks long ticket purchase lineup from 7am on a Sunday snaking to reach the one dept store outlet selling physical tickets...true story.
	👻 5:33pm John L: Nerd trivia: Amoreena was the song playing at the start of "Dog Day Afternoon". Other than that there was no other music in the film.
	5:35pm Mr C: Todd, Ask George Clinton about his connection to Producer Jimmy Miller, who produced the first Parliaments single Lonely Island Jimmy was from Brooklyn but his father owned olubs in North Jersey.
	5:36pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks for the tip Joe!
	👻 5:36pm Frank In Queens: Been waitin for the Sect block
	5:37pm Creature Boy: Wilbert Harrison's Let's Get Together LP is like candy. Damn it I just passed on a Downliners EP at Amoeba Hollywood although I'll bet it's still there & I planned on backtracking & grabbing a non skipping Angry Young Them, today . I really like Bad Storm Coming by the Sect
	5:39pm Creature Boy: *80s EP
	5:39pm bob dublon former drummer of Plasticland: @TOPT..Sorry to hear of Don's passing ...😣RIP
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & we all get a buzz from the Sect very early on doing the tune 'Why Don't You Smile Now' written by some unknown named LouReed.
	5:40pm DG: John L: Yes, Legs Larry is the tap-dancer on "I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself" on Honky Chateau, maybe it was that song? First time I saw him, the Sutherland Bros. & Quiver opened (w/a future Attraction on bass) & next time, in '76 at MSG, Billy Connolly opened (I don't think the audience knew who he was....this was before he was on sitcoms & American TV).
	5:43pm clarke: i'm a Sect man, fo'sho!!
	5:44pm Creature Boy: Thx for tHat tidbit of info rrRabbit
	5:45pm rx scabin: So who "invented" punk?
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thank the Nuggets II box CreatureBoy! ...Phantom & Egypt have me thinking of LordSutch somehow...
	5:46pm clarke: cardinal l'richlieu and marat
	5:47pm Creature Boy: Lost Girl by the troggs belongs in any proto punk convo imo
	5:47pm McGroovey: I never knew about the Reed/Cale Downliners Sect song. I have the compilation that came out in the nineties, "The Definitive Downliners Sect Singles A's & B's", which one listened to over and over.
	5:47pm Handy Haversack: Always learning on WFMU. I don't think I have even heard of Downliners Sect before? I am, though, as has been established, a bit dim.
	5:48pm McGroovey: *which I've listened to
	5:49pm Creature Boy: Glendora!!
	5:50pm efd: YESSSSS, I love "Glendora." And if I remember correctly (entirely possible I don't), they didn't do this at the Warsaw show in Brooklyn...??
	5:50pm Moammar: I'm hoping they rhyme Glendora with menorah.
	5:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @efd: I think you are remembering correctly!
	5:51pm Van Winkle: Never heard of the Downliners Sect either...their version of Green Onions is not the best ... imo.
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Honestly only knew 'Smile Now' & 'Glendora'. & been a BritInvasion & MaximumR&B fan kind of Half a Century...
	5:52pm efd: I was thinking about storming the stage!
	👻 5:52pm rx scabin: Thank you for the great show and knowledge, Todd.
	5:52pm Moammar: Update: They did not rhyme Glendora and menorah.
	5:53pm clarke: Handy - u get those boats moved??
	5:54pm clarke: why won't i smile?? my record's warped!!
	5:55pm Chop Scott: Thanks Boss!
	5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean - encountered a phat PrettyThings greatest hits cassette in my youth - but DownlinersSect not distributed in the USA @ all apparently ??...
	5:55pm Creature Boy: The track I mentioned "Bad Storm Coming" is off an LP of country songs by Downliners Sect which has Bakersfield songs long before that music was fetishized by the rock world. Hey here's the Reed thingie!
	5:55pm Handy Haversack: Took longer than expected, clarke, but we moved 'em around! Todd, thanks for the show and for braving the difficulties! Remember: strength through failure. And this crowd is the strongest! Much appreciated. Iiiiiiiiiiiiit's BOSS! Later on, Groovers!
	5:56pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks for this tribute, Todd! How can you not love a band whose influences range from Perry Como to Snagglepuss!
	5:56pm clarke: the groover is STILL on fiyaaaah!!!
	👻 5:56pm Will the Sound Guy: the guitar riff in the background is almost "no time left for you"
	👻 5:57pm nealac: Loving this finale! To quote Russell: "Thank you leader of the Sect"
	5:57pm Fishtown Mike: Great show today Todd! Thanks!
	5:57pm Creature Boy: Well I guess the Beatles were also pretty early on the Bakersfield tip
	5:57pm Fredericks: I know Smile Now from a compilation cassette I bought from the Velvet Underground Appreciation Society.
	5:57pm radioronan: Todd-O-Phonic vs. Studio B - was there any doubt? Dead air does not live today. Thanks Todd! Cheers' y'all!
	👻 5:57pm Will the Sound Guy: Thank you Todd-o-Phonic Todd!!! great show!
	5:57pm MFlynn: Another great one Todd. Thanks.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So imagine Lou's voice on SmileNow. Guessing there was a Demo they much followed...
	5:58pm P-90.: Thanks Todd!
	5:58pm efd: Todd-o-phonic Todd triumphs again!
	5:58pm rx scabin: WFMU!
	5:58pm Van Winkle: Will you look at that ... totally lost track of time... again. Ta Muchly Todd!!! ;-)
	5:58pm clarke: thnx TopT. what i heard was fantasmic!!
	5:59pm morphe': Thanks TopT and all !!!
	5:59pm listener 126464: Thanks Todd!!!
	6:00pm chresti: That's the worst, getting the cigarette ends wet!
	👻 6:00pm Frank In Queens: Nice tribute, Todd! And nice show! Way to recover from all the earlier nonsense.
	6:00pm Handy Haversack: morph, check out wfmu.org...
	6:01pm Creature Boy: 👍toddo
	6:02pm chresti: Thanks Todd!
	6:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Still He Persisted ~ TY Always TopT ~
	7:55pm dday: I had to step away, but saw all these Elton memories...mine..1980..got to Central Park 10 minutes after he started, excused our way to about 20 feet from the stage. Great show. Left there, went to MSG & saw Bob Seger. A pretty good day & night.
	10:07pm Daybreak: Can’t wait for the archive!!! It’s Sunday night now, so hopefully by tomorrow!

	3:08pm ?: Travelin' Band: That's the greatest rock song of all-time. 2 minutes and 37 seconds of ____s to the wall rock and roll about being in a rock and roll band.
	3:08pm Robm: Howdy handy kate back from rainy seattle yet?
	3:08pm Handy Haversack: Did Rex break the playlist?

	3:09pm Robm: @Handy must be putin messing with this station
	3:10pm SWK: Dulcet on my face
	3:10pm efd: this is why we broadcast from Studio B for two weeks before the marathon starts
	👻 3:10pm Frank In Queens: Oh this is rich!
	3:10pm Handy Haversack: What's more likely? We know Rex was there. Also, Michael Shelley has had it out for Turntable 1 for a while!
	3:11pm Corey: Hello TOPT and listeners!

	3:17pm Handy Haversack: Emergency SPOX
	👻 3:17pm Frank In Queens: @Lesley, thanks! We're both very excited about finally having a release date.
	3:17pm PaulRobeson1920: There is more silence inside each of us than anything else… Silence is good. WFMU is good
	3:17pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Handy! No NOLA yet, have to sit out the high holies, but will be celebrating—via music & beads—at the bar.
	👻 3:18pm rx scabin: Ken's phone is ringing.
	3:18pm G: Back home from the Saturday midday Krewe of Iris (female) uptown mardi gras parade. Mary Ellen (my s.o.) used to ride with them in the 90s when she had kids at home, and she knew several people of some of the floats today.
	3:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: Music playing over the stream. Success!
	3:19pm squidbeak: Top man Todd!
	3:19pm medson: Alright Hector.
	3:20pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Well done TOPT, back online!
	👻 3:20pm Frank In Queens: Nice!
	3:20pm Robm: Frankly i thought it was the russians screwing around with this station
	3:21pm Dennis Diken: you go, Todd! Hey gang!
	3:21pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @G sounds like a grand day. Deacon John playing block party uptown, I believe on Oak just above Tulane if you have a second wind.
	3:22pm Handy Haversack: Stream and FM both on leads to some interesting contrasts right now. Wishing you celebration and joy, Dungaroos K! We're seeing shows Thu. and Fri., so I'm not sure I can make it out yet another night this week -- age is grabbing our ankles!
	3:22pm Fishtown Mike: Jezzus, I forgot the sound was up so loud, and was distracted with an email. Almost soiled myself when you came back online, TOPT!
	3:22pm PaulRobeson1920: Ah. Silence, my old friend
	👻 3:22pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hey Todd & fellow listeners! Hey LesleyK, it was great meeting you last weekend! Hey Handy.
	👻 3:23pm Frank In Queens: You need to get into classic FM format and play album sides today, Todd.
	👻 3:23pm rx scabin: Is it Rex's fault?
	3:24pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Dickies rule OK! Everything is Rex's fault. Always.
	3:24pm Robm: @PR1920 that’s what makes this station so great, is the screw ups, won’t hear that on commercial music radio
	3:24pm Jack McGuire: Perfect pop slab from the Dickies.
	3:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'd be asking what No Brow was doing in the studio an hour ago.
	3:24pm DonJuanTijuana: Who’s the wise guy tryin to mute 🤐 TOPT?
	3:25pm efd: @Handy It hadn't occurred to me that there'd be different audio on the stream... very mysterious!
	3:25pm LesleyK: Hey Mike from BK, you too!
	3:26pm elkeno: dead air chickens
	3:26pm Jack McGuire: Mic on Todd
	👻 3:26pm Frank In Queens: C'mon, Side One of Zeppelin IV. Do it!
	3:26pm LesleyK: Hey medson..I got my hector singles a few days ago
	3:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Careful, Todd. No swears!
	3:27pm Handy Haversack: Yes, suspicion follows Rex like night follows day. Hey, Mike From BK! Right, efd? K8 is telling me I'm not allowed to continue the two-source experiment, but I think many FMU DJs would approve! I think 91.1 is one of the emergency back-up modules? It started with "Angst in My Pants." The stream is picking up Todd's convo (hot mic!) and was getting some of his tunes.
	3:27pm medson: @lesley awesome.
	3:27pm ike-o: peace
	3:28pm LesleyK: He's back!
	👻 3:28pm Mike From Brooklyn: We got music on the stream.
	3:28pm dday: 90.1 is alive & kicking!
	3:28pm Alicja Uleeshuh: Goblins in the station
	3:28pm PaulRobeson1920: no such thing as failure only feedback It’s ok to like Commercial Radio @Robm Because I’m clapping & happy when I hear the happy song! And that other one, mambo number 5!
	3:28pm nardo: Is this a Bryce fill in? One of those John Cage pieces I'm guessing?
	3:28pm efd: yeah, this seems to be a multi-faceted snafu. I'm feeling for Todd right now, there's no worse feeling than being in the middle of something like this.
	3:29pm Jack McGuire: And thus, the reason for the fund raiser.
	3:29pm Handy Haversack: I know, poor Todd! Someone in JC get some beer to Studio B in a hurry!
	3:30pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I think the issue largely resides with whatever idiot DJ took channel 7 out of program and didn't put it back.
	3:30pm Chop Scott: Stream is fine--91.1 air signal is not.
	3:32pm Fredericks: "I can't hear a G#d D*mn thing."
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: 91.9 matches the stream (as best I can tell; it doesn't come in great here).
	3:33pm efd: ahh, Todd back on 91.1!
	3:33pm Handy Haversack: 91.1 is back!
	3:33pm Chop Scott: 91.1 air signal is back!!
	3:34pm Robm: @Todd I guess some DJ is going to get a ass chewing from ken on Monday
	3:36pm Handy Haversack: We brought home a bunch of frozen Miller High Life from a shipping container under the bridge this afternoon. I'm gonna crack one open in your honor, Todd! Glad to be hearing your voice!
	3:36pm suzyhotrod: OMG! I had a note to myself to look up that song from the 7-11 commercial haha. Ya beat me to it.
	3:37pm dday: @Handy: and you were ragging on Schafer Beer the other day :) ?
	👻 3:37pm Hoboken Jack: Just a quick hello, everybody! Today I'm Newark Liberty International Airport Jack.
	3:38pm Handy Haversack: A sack's gotta have a code, dday! Hey, Jack!
	3:38pm Dennis Diken: Todd! thanks for the nice shout out!
	3:38pm dday: @Handy: did that case come with a take home bum?
	3:39pm Fredericks: Rambling, Jack?
	3:40pm medson: Runway Jack.
	👻 3:40pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, I could murder a pint right now.
	3:41pm Handy Haversack: Come on by, Frank! Bridge High Lifes are on me!
	3:42pm scott zee: Hell yes
	3:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...knew Slade was coming in here somewhere!...
	👻 3:43pm TonyR: So tired ... of Ronnie Wood hate among Stones fans. Yeah, Rod Stewart really flew to new heights after parting ways with Woody....
	3:43pm Don F.: Live Rod. Nice TOPT. In the words Pepe le Pew "Oy vey what a day."
	3:44pm medson: @FIQ I’ll be hitting a new brewery later an murdering a few pints.
	👻 3:45pm TonyR: Iz the playlist busted?
	👻 3:45pm rx scabin: I am murdering a Martini.
	👻 3:45pm rx scabin: When I get in a jam, I ask "what would TopT do?" and soldier on.
	👻 3:46pm Frank In Queens: Enjoy, medson! Unexpectedly back on the wagon for the last week due to illness.
	👻 3:46pm rx scabin: It works.
	👻 3:46pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, thanks for the offer, but trust me, you don't want me to come over right now.
	👻 3:47pm TonyR: I used to take dry Novembers. Don't know why. but turned out pretty easy to do for me.
	3:47pm DonJuanTijuana: Spencer with some keyboards..interesting.
	👻 3:48pm Frank In Queens: @Tony, I always do Jan because I'm usually fed up with all the holiday indulgences. I know a lot of people who choose February because it's the shortest month!
	👻 3:49pm TonyR: Jet?
	👻 3:49pm TonyR: Jet.
	3:51pm dday: Abstaining yearly from mid-Oct. to mid - April. Cleaning out the system
	👻 3:51pm Frank In Queens: Wow, I thought this was a modern take on this song and I was impressed that someone wanted to nail the production value of the song like this. Then I looked up Iron Virgin and now it makes more sense.
	3:51pm Van Winkle: Alt Jet...with an interesting accent...pray tell...who were/are they?
	👻 3:52pm TonyR: New icons. I guess the '22 Marathon has unofficially begin.
	👻 3:53pm TonyR: *begun. The Marathon has only just _begun_.
	3:53pm medson: TOPT is also an Olympic sprinter.
	👻 3:53pm TonyR: The Marathon longs to be... close to you.
	3:54pm Handy Haversack: Ooof, sorry to hear it, Frank -- feel better soonest!
	👻 3:55pm TonyR: Teacher! Todd's going back and filling in the beginning of the test!!!
	👻 3:55pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, already on the mend but I don't want to undo what my immune system has done by knocking a few back. Besides, GBV show on Friday so I'll be able to make up for it then!
	👻 3:55pm Frank In Queens: Bon!
	3:56pm Ben from Toledo: Deep AC/DC tracks are so good. Nice play here Todd.
	3:58pm Fredericks: I wonder what program 7 is? Sounds mysterious and is obviously important.
	3:58pm Moammar: They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry.
	👻 3:59pm TonyR: Retarded sexuality and bad poetry is my life story.
	4:01pm Fredericks: Seems like Iron Virgin may have inspired Iron Maiden name-wise at least.
	4:03pm Van Winkle: Worry not Todd...we don't blame it on you re the early "live radio" performance. Your post commentary was heartfelt..
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: Frank, we have Connells on Thu. and Mattiel on Fri. I am going to need a steady alcohol regiment to get ready for it!
	👻 4:05pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, some times you have to inoculate!
	4:06pm bobobob Plasticland: wiki says The Fugitives from Sacramento Ca
	4:06pm Handy Haversack: *regimen See?!
	4:06pm Saltonstall: Dave Hill has always been a skinhead under that incredible comb over
	4:09pm PaulRobeson1920: HappPpPpY Birthday, Dennis Diken!!! Hip Hip Hooray!!!!
	4:10pm Van Winkle: Nice that Orville can sing those lyrics on the radio...in the 2020s.
	4:16pm Jack McGuire: Tops Manzanera solo.
	4:17pm Dennis Diken: thanks very much indeed, PaulRobeson1920!!
	4:19pm dday: Hey Frederick's How's the healing going ?
	4:21pm dday: Hello Dennis D..is it OK for me to recommend playing Chris Bolger's "No Promises?"
	4:22pm morphe': Sadly missed the last 1/2 of Rex ..but here foe the last 1 &1/2 of TopT !!!!!!
	👻 4:31pm Frank In Queens: Benny sounding great on this track.
	4:31pm larry: HaPPy, HaPPy DeNNis...LUV your show, never miss it...!!
	👻 4:32pm rx scabin: TopT Excellent show.
	4:32pm Creature Boy: Not sure what was going on w the station & all that but this Benny cut cooks
	4:32pm Ignore Function: Didn't know you were healing, FONPR, but I hope it's going well.
	4:32pm Dennis Diken: @larry - thanks a million, it means a lot to me! @dday - good call! great tune, that one!
	4:32pm Joe Castrianni: It was a great show last Saturday.
	4:37pm medson: Heading out Todd. Catch the archives for the rest. Sorry for your stressful start today. Be well pal.
	4:37pm Jack McGuire: That Mellows single kills.
	4:42pm bobsmart567: Todd playing Temples - awesome!! These guys are great live.
	4:42pm Van Winkle: I sure could use some Temples todaze... they're a great live act...if they haven't split up...they don't release stuff very often ...
	4:43pm Dennis Diken: sure 'nuff diggin' the show, young Todd!
	4:44pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Dennis! Hope you had a great birthday!
	4:46pm Ciggy: George's b'day yesterday. "She's a drag, a well-known drag. You turn the sound down on her and say rude things."
	4:46pm Dennis Diken: indeed! my birthday weekend made even better with today's show!!
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Awlright George... Vakratunda Mahakaya Surya Koti Sama Prabha Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva Karyesu Sarvada. & for you, Hare Krishna..
	👻 4:48pm TonyR: I confused "Spoon" and "Train" a couple weeks back in the chat. But dug deeper and Spoon is cool.
	4:53pm Van Winkle: I heard some other Dropper recently. I kind of like her vocals and the band's overall laconic nod to the 70s production. Tks for playing.
	4:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Van Winkle: Just trying to keep you awake!
	4:55pm Van Winkle: BTW...my back brain just caught up and of course...meant languid...in a good way. ;-) Re Dropper
	4:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Van Winkle: I was just referring to your name (or at least the name you use on this board).
	👻 4:57pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, how was the Elton John show the other night?
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: How many FMU DJs saw Sir Elton at MSG this past week, I wonder? And how many songs did he dedicate to them? (He knows which side his bread is buttered on!)
	4:58pm Van Winkle: This is the only board I comment on. I had a slip up on ice 4 years ago (to this day) and don't do much tech stuff anymore. However...I can figure this old skool comment board just fine. ;-)
	👻 4:59pm Joel: Todd.. What a truly inspired and sublime segue
	4:59pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: It was good...he was definitely somewhat gassed for the second part of the show...not surprising considering he's 74.
	👻 4:59pm rx scabin: I was just thinking how much this EJ song sounds like that Bowie song. Or vice versa.
	5:00pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Sorry to hear that @Van Winkle...
	👻 5:00pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, I'm sure. And it wasn't a one-off show, right? He played a few nights in a row?
	5:01pm Joe B: plus Elton had COVID at the beginning of the month. So it's only been 3 or 4 shows since he's returned so I'm sure it is affecting him
	5:01pm morphe': I think Shelia B said she went to the EJ show???
	👻 5:01pm karlward: Handy: make up a Lillet blanc cocktail named “Amoreena”
	5:02pm Joe B: Julie B was at the Garden Wednesday
	5:02pm Mike East: LOVE Amoreena, one of my favorites...opening line gets stuck in my head often. Just picked up Rock of the Westies last week in Brooklyn....have yet to spin it.
	5:03pm morphe': Van Winkle - serious query - would audio interface help?
	👻 5:03pm Frank In Queens: WHAT??????
	5:03pm listener monica: Elton was always there for me.
	5:04pm ?: Oh yes....Carbou was the first record that was my own⭐
	5:06pm Handy Haversack: karlward: 2 oz. applejack, .5 oz Lillet, .5 oz. St. Germain, dust rim with cayenne, garnish with twig of honeyed sycamore.
	5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always found EltonJohn a completely convincing Singer - for just one thing. Usually great material (tho like many he had a weaker & trendier MTV Period... but he's somehow pretty much exempt from my troubling allergy to Mainstream 70s~80s Hits...)
	5:07pm Creature Boy: From my Facebook memories t0dAy "Sting doesn't look at all like Popeye morphing into a mannequin" @todd-0 & for what it's worth
	5:07pm Handy Haversack: Marathon, Hellraiser, and SWAGVENT: the only holidays it's still OK to get excited about!
	5:08pm Joe B: freezing hands - another Matt Rendon project
	5:08pm Handy Haversack: Sounds great!
	5:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's got a very unique voice...I think it's mainly the expressiveness of it.
	👻 5:09pm Frank In Queens: I think the only Elton John song I own is The Who's cover of "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" on the 30 Years Of Maximum R&B boxset.
	5:09pm efd: This Freezing Hands is great!
	5:11pm Creature Boy: Easybeats cover? Yes
	5:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Creature Boy: Yes...oft-covered gem!
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Conversely (?) - Elton's 'PinballWizard' (& performance in the weirdass Tommy film) are pretty great. Not everyone can take TheWho on that effectively...
	5:13pm Fredericks: @dday: progressing nicely. Little scarring on chest. Gotta figure out how stay protected from the sun for a year. In Florida, that can be tricky. Currently, listening to Todd and shopping for protective head and face gear. Thanks for checking on me.
	5:14pm Van Winkle: @ morphe. Actually, turns out the fall was a "red herring" to another related health issue...BUT happy to report hearing remains perfect, vision less-so...so radio and streaming music has happily become my "alt" to t.v./reading. No biggie...I totally front loaded my life...too many shoes to mention. ;-)
	5:14pm Handy Haversack: Glad to hear it, Fredericks!
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Power & Healing to you Van Winkle & Fredericks
	👻 5:15pm Frank In Queens: @Rev63, most people can't. I think Elton's version of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is also the only thing worth a damn off the "All This And World War II" soundtrack.
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Frank: Speaking of weirdo projects ! Never come near that one ! Intrigued actually...
	5:16pm Fredericks: And Happy Birthday, Mister Diken.
	5:17pm clarke: just back from a slew of parades. they all asked fo' you!!
	5:18pm Creature Boy: Wow this must be Phantom on a 45. Sounds different than the comp versions
	5:18pm clarke: perhaps you are thinking of Night Of The Sadist - the original version??
	5:18pm morphe': Van Winkle - if it was possible to get you = free to you - audio set up to help you interact with FMU and the wider web ... would that be helpful ... free for you...
	5:19pm Creature Boy: (Well aware of the sadist/phantom issue)
	5:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Creature Boy: Many moons ago I came upon a catalog that had copies of "Night Of The Phantom" for $2 a pop...I managed to get a half dozen or so. Wish I still had a few extra!
	5:20pm Dennis Diken: It was also Jim Backus’ birthday yesterday….I’m just sayin’…
	5:22pm Van Winkle: @ morphe. It's the "taking in and on" of new processes that is the issue. But I've been creating sone pretty simplified systems) efficiencies of my own. I just like to hear the music...and LOUD!!! Like right now!!!
	5:23pm morphe': OK VW... glad you are good !!!!!!!
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JimBackus - the Dad in 'Rebel Without a Cause'. Which I knew - but somehow don't connect with Thurston & McGoo...
	👻 5:24pm rx scabin: If Todd keeps this up, I will be having an out of body experience. My too close geographically neighbors are wondering about me: anxious secret glances. Angry Secret Glances seems to be a good name or title, and it is mine.
	👻 5:24pm John L: Damn, missed the Elton conversation while I was closing up at work. Elton was my first arena show, Nassau Coliseum 1972. Joe B. reminded me that it had opened that year. Two things come to mind: 1. Cool. 2. I'm frickin' old.
	👻 5:25pm rx scabin: Also, anxious secret glances.
	5:25pm DG: Frank in my boro: Actually, Frankie Laine, of all people, does a good version of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" on there too, and Tina Turner (Come Together) & Rod (Get Back, which I think is on a collection of his too) are good, from what I remember (heard the album years ago, never saw the film---which apparently is too embarrassing to even be on VHS or DVD). And Roy Wood & Jeff Lynne are on it too (separately).
	5:25pm Creature Boy: Wow
	5:26pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Before his final number last night EJ reminisced about his Jersey shows (giving the # of them which I've since forgotten) but specifically referenced early shows in Wildwood and Asbury Park.
	5:27pm DG: John L: I saw Elton the year after at the same place, one of my first big--arena-rockshows, & he did a bunch of stuff from "Yellow Brick Road" (inc. Funeral/Love Lies Bleeding) which wasn't even out yet (we only knew "...Saturday Night," since it was a single then). And for the encore, "Honky Tonk Women" he brought out Bernie & Loudon Wainwright, I think....I have some of it on a cassette somewhere.
	👻 5:27pm Will the Sound Guy: I was listening before, but just came on to say Hi Todd-o-Phonic Todd and all!!!!
	👻 5:29pm Frank In Queens: @DG, well, it's been ages since I've heard any of it. Maybe I'll revisit one day if I have the time.
	5:30pm Dennis Diken: Joey Dee’s “Peppermint Twist Chronicles” is quite the page turner!
	5:30pm Listener Robert: Just logged in to say I loved the lyric a few songs back, "Your mind's made up, but your head's in the sand."
	👻 5:31pm John L: DG: Nice. When I saw him Legs "Larry" Smith came out and did a tune with him. Family opened, but I had no idea who they were then; for some reason I was familiar with the Bonzo Dog Band.
	5:31pm elkeno: Comeback DJ of the day...TOPT
	5:31pm I never noticed: How on top and how heavy the drum was on Psychotic Reaction before.
	5:31pm BenZ WPB: I remember seeing Elton John at MSG around 1978 or 1979. All I remember is him kicking over the piano stool at one pojnt. QuarterFlash opened. Don’t remember anything of their set either.
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How kewl to cover that PrettyThings (& well).
	5:33pm Van Winkle: Saw Elton again for his "last tour" pre-C19. He's apparently...coming back to our town again soon. ;-) Enjoyed greatly in the nosebleeds. I recall sewing a quilted faux denim with star "bolero" number to wear to a mid 70s show... combined with a several blocks long ticket purchase lineup from 7am on a Sunday snaking to reach the one dept store outlet selling physical tickets...true story.
	👻 5:33pm John L: Nerd trivia: Amoreena was the song playing at the start of "Dog Day Afternoon". Other than that there was no other music in the film.
	5:35pm Mr C: Todd, Ask George Clinton about his connection to Producer Jimmy Miller, who produced the first Parliaments single Lonely Island Jimmy was from Brooklyn but his father owned olubs in North Jersey.
	5:36pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks for the tip Joe!
	👻 5:36pm Frank In Queens: Been waitin for the Sect block
	5:37pm Creature Boy: Wilbert Harrison's Let's Get Together LP is like candy. Damn it I just passed on a Downliners EP at Amoeba Hollywood although I'll bet it's still there & I planned on backtracking & grabbing a non skipping Angry Young Them, today . I really like Bad Storm Coming by the Sect
	5:39pm Creature Boy: *80s EP
	5:39pm bob dublon former drummer of Plasticland: @TOPT..Sorry to hear of Don's passing ...😣RIP
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & we all get a buzz from the Sect very early on doing the tune 'Why Don't You Smile Now' written by some unknown named LouReed.
	5:40pm DG: John L: Yes, Legs Larry is the tap-dancer on "I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself" on Honky Chateau, maybe it was that song? First time I saw him, the Sutherland Bros. & Quiver opened (w/a future Attraction on bass) & next time, in '76 at MSG, Billy Connolly opened (I don't think the audience knew who he was....this was before he was on sitcoms & American TV).
	5:43pm clarke: i'm a Sect man, fo'sho!!
	5:44pm Creature Boy: Thx for tHat tidbit of info rrRabbit
	5:45pm rx scabin: So who "invented" punk?
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thank the Nuggets II box CreatureBoy! ...Phantom & Egypt have me thinking of LordSutch somehow...
	5:46pm clarke: cardinal l'richlieu and marat
	5:47pm Creature Boy: Lost Girl by the troggs belongs in any proto punk convo imo
	5:47pm McGroovey: I never knew about the Reed/Cale Downliners Sect song. I have the compilation that came out in the nineties, "The Definitive Downliners Sect Singles A's & B's", which one listened to over and over.
	5:47pm Handy Haversack: Always learning on WFMU. I don't think I have even heard of Downliners Sect before? I am, though, as has been established, a bit dim.
	5:48pm McGroovey: *which I've listened to
	5:49pm Creature Boy: Glendora!!
	5:50pm efd: YESSSSS, I love "Glendora." And if I remember correctly (entirely possible I don't), they didn't do this at the Warsaw show in Brooklyn...??
	5:50pm Moammar: I'm hoping they rhyme Glendora with menorah.
	5:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @efd: I think you are remembering correctly!
	5:51pm Van Winkle: Never heard of the Downliners Sect either...their version of Green Onions is not the best ... imo.
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Honestly only knew 'Smile Now' & 'Glendora'. & been a BritInvasion & MaximumR&B fan kind of Half a Century...
	5:52pm efd: I was thinking about storming the stage!
	👻 5:52pm rx scabin: Thank you for the great show and knowledge, Todd.
	5:52pm Moammar: Update: They did not rhyme Glendora and menorah.
	5:53pm clarke: Handy - u get those boats moved??
	5:54pm clarke: why won't i smile?? my record's warped!!
	5:55pm Chop Scott: Thanks Boss!
	5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean - encountered a phat PrettyThings greatest hits cassette in my youth - but DownlinersSect not distributed in the USA @ all apparently ??...
	5:55pm Creature Boy: The track I mentioned "Bad Storm Coming" is off an LP of country songs by Downliners Sect which has Bakersfield songs long before that music was fetishized by the rock world. Hey here's the Reed thingie!
	5:55pm Handy Haversack: Took longer than expected, clarke, but we moved 'em around! Todd, thanks for the show and for braving the difficulties! Remember: strength through failure. And this crowd is the strongest! Much appreciated. Iiiiiiiiiiiiit's BOSS! Later on, Groovers!
	5:56pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks for this tribute, Todd! How can you not love a band whose influences range from Perry Como to Snagglepuss!
	5:56pm clarke: the groover is STILL on fiyaaaah!!!
	👻 5:56pm Will the Sound Guy: the guitar riff in the background is almost "no time left for you"
	👻 5:57pm nealac: Loving this finale! To quote Russell: "Thank you leader of the Sect"
	5:57pm Fishtown Mike: Great show today Todd! Thanks!
	5:57pm Creature Boy: Well I guess the Beatles were also pretty early on the Bakersfield tip
	5:57pm Fredericks: I know Smile Now from a compilation cassette I bought from the Velvet Underground Appreciation Society.
	5:57pm radioronan: Todd-O-Phonic vs. Studio B - was there any doubt? Dead air does not live today. Thanks Todd! Cheers' y'all!
	👻 5:57pm Will the Sound Guy: Thank you Todd-o-Phonic Todd!!! great show!
	5:57pm MFlynn: Another great one Todd. Thanks.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So imagine Lou's voice on SmileNow. Guessing there was a Demo they much followed...
	5:58pm P-90.: Thanks Todd!
	5:58pm efd: Todd-o-phonic Todd triumphs again!
	5:58pm rx scabin: WFMU!
	5:58pm Van Winkle: Will you look at that ... totally lost track of time... again. Ta Muchly Todd!!! ;-)
	5:58pm clarke: thnx TopT. what i heard was fantasmic!!
	5:59pm morphe': Thanks TopT and all !!!
	5:59pm listener 126464: Thanks Todd!!!
	6:00pm chresti: That's the worst, getting the cigarette ends wet!
	👻 6:00pm Frank In Queens: Nice tribute, Todd! And nice show! Way to recover from all the earlier nonsense.
	6:00pm Handy Haversack: morph, check out wfmu.org...
	6:01pm Creature Boy: 👍toddo
	6:02pm chresti: Thanks Todd!
	6:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Still He Persisted ~ TY Always TopT ~
	7:55pm dday: I had to step away, but saw all these Elton memories...mine..1980..got to Central Park 10 minutes after he started, excused our way to about 20 feet from the stage. Great show. Left there, went to MSG & saw Bob Seger. A pretty good day & night.
	10:07pm Daybreak: Can’t wait for the archive!!! It’s Sunday night now, so hopefully by tomorrow!
