	11:02am SeanG: Howdy Michael and alll!
	11:03am Frank In Queens: Anyone know if Paul plays this song live?
	11:03am clarke: bob, what's shakin' in the outer region?
	11:03am egould: From Nazi books to psychedelic trips to dinner in pigeon infested apartments; Mike sure went on an amazing journey this morning.
	11:04am Michael Shelley: FIQ - he played it last week
	11:04am Cooh John: Hi Michael and #1ers. Michael, if you wanted to save $40 for parking last week you should have arrived late like me, Scott, Therese, and Gaylord. Caught the 2 songs we missed on YouTube. 😀
	11:04am SeanG: I remember seeing Macca on the Flowers in the Dirt tour--I think it was at Joe Robbie stadium in south Florida
	11:05am YETI BOB: Frank in Queens - it's in the 1980 film "Rockshow", you can see it here www.youtube.com...
	11:05am clarke: @frank -haven't checked in a while as to the status of your music room??
	11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...how many singing along doing that Pauly lateral head bob thang ...eyebrows arched for extras...
	11:05am Bob: I think he's singing about doobies
	11:06am YETI BOB: song reminds me just a little of "Sea of Love"
	11:06am ledzeppelinsucks: What other palm is there?
	11:06am clarke: @bob, y9u might be right, but naive me is just realizing that.
	11:06am GeoSinPhilly: I always felt that Let Me Roll It was Paul doing an intentional Lennon knock-off. Note the reverb and the guitar riff almost straight from the Plastic Ono album.
	11:07am Frank In Queens: Sorry, bad attempt at a joke…
	11:07am Christina Ginger: GeoSin- I just said to my husband that it is Paul dong his best John!
	11:07am clarke: good point GeoS
	11:07am Christina Ginger: Even the mic treatment on the vocals
	11:07am P-90: Everything about it is Macca showing that he can “do John”
	11:08am Frank In Queens: @clarke there was a bit of a lull, but I just have to have an electrical issue dealt with and then we move full speed ahead.
	11:08am SeanG: @GeoSin--totally man! it sounds like the "I found out" riff
	11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...some remote possibility John & Paul influenced each other ...also could be 'convergent evolution' of different creatures coming up in very similar environments in the 1st instance ...they may have liked the same records @ the same time...
	11:09am clarke: those pesky electrical noises. two words: power conditioner.
	11:09am phat in lincoln: Morning. This show will help me get through the final days (knock on wood) of covid.
	11:09am Frank In Queens: Dug that Aeroplane muchly!
	11:09am Bob: Paul and John would have worked together again, right? if John had not been murdered. Even if George opted out.
	11:09am Louis Boon: Feel better PIL!
	11:10am clarke: dang, Phat!! get better!!!
	11:10am HyperDose: Diggin' that avatar, RRN63 ❤️
	11:10am Cooh John: Nice meeting you last week, Frank in Queens. K8 and I got the covid. We must exchange pictures of our music rooms.🎶
	11:10am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Michael & all
	11:10am egould: Bachelor life!
	11:10am Frank In Queens: It appears that Aeroplane were based out of France, but there was at keast one Brit in the band.
	11:11am SeanG: Hi Greg! great fill-in shows my man!
	11:11am dk50b: Living on ice cream and chocolate kisses
	11:11am SecretSquirrel: Howdy Michael + all! That guitar sound on 'Let Me Roll It' should be beamed out into space forever.
	11:11am clarke: WHOAAHHHH> i have a soul version of this song Color Him Father - by the Winstons.
	11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bob - it seems to be indicated, once the Business worked out more. Even George said things like 'it would be selfish for TheBeatles not to work together again' - which surprised me! As he was the least interested in more Beatlemania. Or Fame @ all in a way.
	11:12am Ciggy: Laura Cantrell told me she never heard The Winston's version. I couldn't believe it.
	11:12am phat in lincoln: It's been a rough week, honestly, but I'm much better now.
	11:12am Wind: How beautiful a song! ....never heart it before!
	11:12am Bob: This always struck me as one of those MSR records. Long live Tommy Ardolino!
	11:13am phat in lincoln: That Color Him Father is fantastic.
	11:13am SecretSquirrel: and yes, @GeoSinPhilly – the whole thing is absolutely Lennonesque
	11:13am Squints: Clarke, I like the Winston's version. I REALLY like this one.
	11:13am Moammar: Ah. love that Linda Martell side.
	11:13am clarke: @phat - i don't doubt it, glad you made it thru, and i am sure you will be really tired for a few weeks, if your strain is like the ones i have encountered.
	11:14am Peter Horvath: Ahoy Michael and listeners from Highland Park, NJ - home of the Band-Aid
	11:14am Frank In Queens: @clarke power conditioning is definitely happening. Just a matter if i can fit it in the wall or i have to get a strip.
	11:14am Squints: Numbah One bass line, theah
	11:14am clarke: that Winstons version is the One for moi. but, the pedal steel is steelin' my heart, as well.
	11:15am Bob: Has New Jersey contributed anything more important than the Band-Aid?
	11:15am clarke: i found a reasonably priced power conditioner on ebay - it really helped.
	11:15am HyperDose: @Bob Super fund sites!
	11:16am Bob: Better than mediocre fund sites, I guess
	11:17am clarke: Ice Cream & Kisses....ahhhh.
	11:18am clarke: did Baby get lost in the vines??
	11:19am Ciggy: 82° and rising in Money Earnin Mt. Vernon
	11:19am clarke: it hit 101 in southern MS, yesterday afternoon. whew!
	11:20am YETI BOB: Bob: How about Edison's invention of the phonograph? I think that was in NJ.
	11:20am clarke: you mean edison's appropriation of someone else's invention?
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HyperD Cheers! Kirby the King. Good Morning.
	11:22am YETI BOB: clarke: I know Edison didn't really invent the light bulb, but if he didn't invent the phonograph, who did?
	11:22am egould: I like an Everly Brothers harmony. I like this band.
	11:23am phat in lincoln: @clarke yeah, I'm expecting the fatigue to drag on a bit. Whew
	11:23am clarke: instant classic!
	11:24am dk50b: @clarke who invented a workable phonograph and recording system that Edison stole?
	11:25am phat in lincoln: @Michael Shelley definitely good point about the fill.
	11:25am Bob: Yeti. Good point. His lab is down the road in Dearborn Michigan so I forget it was from Jersey. The phonograph loses some points because some people now play Red Hot Chili Peppers albums on them.
	11:25am clarke: i believe a Curt Boettcher production? @dk - i remember hearing that a lot of the inventions of edison were other guys who were under his aegis. i am not specifically sure about the phonograph.
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They make a point about how much Recording Drums changed...
	11:26am phat in lincoln: This Groop track is awesome
	11:26am YETI BOB: Groop is Groovy!
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SunshinePop ~ VintageStudioPop ...paging AndrewSandoval...
	11:26am Hoboken Jack: Sounds like they want to go up up and away in a beautiful balloon.
	11:26am Christina Ginger: @Dk www.soundrecordinghistory.net...
	11:27am b0b plasticland milwaukee: that 🌵 cactus blossoms song sounded like m friends band in Waukesha ..named the Bo Deans
	11:27am Peter Horvath: More songs need ba-ba-ba-bas.
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Christina Cheers - bookmarked.
	11:28am clarke: @Rev - the current trend in recording drums is to revert to the classic Glyn Johns set-up which uses less mics. so, not sure about innovation.
	11:28am clarke: The Cactus Blossoms have proven to be much better songwriters than the bodeans.
	11:29am Bob: Did Floyd use the same guitar lick in every song? Drivin' Nails.
	11:29am SeanG: I wish my name was Floyd
	11:30am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Baby, Handy, Nursemaid Bagpipe, HyperDose, Frank, Cooh, Clarke, Christina, Greg, Peter, everybody!
	11:30am clarke: dead air. get a new dj. hello jaaaack!!
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: clarke Thx - I'm always hungry for edumacation re Musics in all ways. Typically - can use Beatles to illustrate many progressions. Starting with the whole Drumkit sharing one track with maybe Bass (or more on 1st LP or two!) - recorded with one maybe two mics in 1962 ??
	11:31am P-90: That bachelor diet of ice cream and supermarket pies may be taking a toll
	11:31am Squints: Me, I like the BoDeans. Never moved the ball forward, but Kurt and Sammy were solid craftsmen.
	11:31am clarke: depends on what era beatles, Rev
	11:32am HyperDose: Hoboken Jack's here! Morning, Squints 👓
	11:32am SeanG: Floyd the barber by Nirvana--great song
	11:32am Christina Ginger: Good morning, Jack!
	11:32am clarke: not saying i didn't like the bodeans - just saying that the cacti lads are KILLER songwriters!!
	11:33am YETI BOB: "Hide"-out, hahaha
	11:33am clarke: any complaints? 1-800-867-5309~!!
	11:33am pp: That last guy sounded too much like Phil Hartmann singing.
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: clarke - exactly !
	11:34am xtrakrispy: Yellowstone was forced to close the entire park for the first time in it’s history, last week, due to massive flooding and resulting road damage. Quite devastating from the reporting.
	11:34am YETI BOB: If there's no answer at that number, try 606-0842
	11:35am Cooh John: Hi, Hoboken Jack.
	11:35am MFlynn: Michael, Nick and the Straitjackets were a blast in Ardmore Pa on Thurs. they get better and better each time I see them.
	11:35am clarke: also, if memory disserves me well, the bodeans also had a song called Runaway (as well as mister del shannon rip)
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey - @ exactly the same time - England had a very good by-election took Boris down notches.
	11:36am Frank In Queens: Hey there Jack
	11:37am Cooh John: Caught Nick and LSJ in Cincinnati recently.
	11:37am clarke: @frank - stanley cup opinions??
	11:37am Pedro in Arlington: The approaching irony: Clarence overturns the Loving decision and Ginnie screams "conspiracy!"
	11:38am dano59: Michael— saw Nick / Los S. again in a small church venue on the 14th and I agree — never better. It wasn’t just the band.
	11:38am Bob: Scott nails it with this song. Dragnet high point for me.
	11:38am Toothgrinder Tom: Apparently he wants to take away your condoms?
	11:39am SeanG: what's up with Joey Spampinato these days? is he healthy? loved seeing the Spampinato brothers playing
	11:39am dano59: Oh jeez - I meant it wasn’t just the sound.
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Right don't play fair - Pack the Court. End the Filibuster. Democracy in the USA. ...yeah soft shuffle with crooning - can't take one step wrong or you mess it.
	11:40am dano59: @clarke: Runaway was a single!
	11:40am clarke: joey is fighting cancer on cape cod and last i heard doing pretty well, but it has been a minute.
	11:40am Bob: That Japanese NRBQ tribute album is so excellent!
	11:40am Squints: No bad versions of It Feels Good.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack.
	11:43am clarke: handy - howzit??
	11:44am b0b0b0b0b0b0b: I was talkin more of the sound of the two bands than the songwriting
	11:44am Squints: I went back and listened to some of the Cactus Blossoms stuff from before when they caught my ear on the Twin Peaks redo in 2017, by which time they were pretty much what they are now. Weird but kinda neat how they shifted from OK Western swingish stuff to.... this. This glorious this.
	11:45am clarke: great strides, Squints!!
	11:45am Toothgrinder Tom: The Soup Greens, what a great name.
	11:46am Moammar: Charlie and Ira Loudermilk, favorite sons of Henegar, Alabama. Hard by Sand Mountain, where the snake handlers live.
	11:47am Moammar: Nice of Ira to sober up to make this record.
	11:47am Toothgrinder Tom: Loudermilk has to be one of the weirder names I’ve ever heard tell of.
	11:47am dk50b: Ginger and clarke the need to create villains has created the myth Edison stole other's inventions. What he did was use existing concepts and do the exhaustive work to make them usable. The phonoautograph's recording medium was impractical, he found a practical filament for Swan's incdescent light bulb and invented the electric grid to power it. Light bulbs still use the screw base he introduced.
	11:47am Bob: Speaking of NYC, I finally saw the VU documentary last night. Thoughts? I liked it even though it sort of requires you to basically know the story already. It's no behind the music type presentation. Given how little film there was to work with, I thought it was pretty creative and visually interesting.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even as Luke the Drifter - Hank asked the Boys to consider their side of the bargain...
	11:48am HungryFreak: That reminded me of a broad I used to know.
	11:48am dk50b: NJ inventions to chew on. Tops on the list..bubble wrap www.njinvent.org...
	11:49am HungryFreak: I've chewed on bubble gum but never bubble wrap
	11:49am Cooh John: Broadminded is spelled l-o-v-e. imho
	11:49am clarke: i'm not denegrating Edison - but, he built an empire and hired underling inventors, and financed them and appropriated some of their work. he did a lot of the groundwork inventing early on, tho.
	11:49am egould: This Willie Mitchell is cooking.
	11:50am Squints: Instrumentals like this were right up my pop's alley.
	11:52am phat in lincoln: Oh Jimmy...
	11:53am phat in lincoln: I think I can forgive you, Jimmy, but I'm not sure about the pianist. Lol. Damn, I love this.
	11:54am gf2002: Great to see that Howie Edelson is coming on the show!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Liquid state by the 1st note. The one & only.
	11:55am Ciggy: Now 85° and rising in Money Earnin Mt. Vernon
	11:56am Toothgrinder Tom: The heat dome is fixing itself into place!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Seems completely in step with the times to force one’s religion down other people’s throats. 🤷‍♂️
	11:59am Handy Haversack: Eh, clarke. Been better. COVID symptoms easing for K8. I'm feeling them but testing negative, which just has us super confused. We had to cancel getting out of town.
	11:59am Moammar: Good week to play "The Pill" by Loretta Lynn.
	11:59am HyperDose: Thanks for that very cool link, dk50b
	12:00pm clarke: jeez, HH!! hope thangs git better!!
	12:00pm Hubig Pie: Is now 54° headed for a high of 58° Furnace be burnin' this am. Hello, I loves me some Louvin's
	12:00pm clarke: Hubig!!! that baked-ham feeling is apparently in nola, but i am in southern miss.
	12:01pm egould: I don’t think you ever want to get in someone else’s mind. Like never ever. Never, never, never ever.
	12:01pm Baby: What if the shoes are really stumpy?
	12:02pm SeanG: @clarke thanks for the update on Joey! hope he gets better
	12:02pm Moammar: Joe South sounds like he is drowning in a sea of electric piano and going down for the last time.
	12:02pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone. It is 83 now and will be around 90 later today in the middle of nowhere in Western NY. Stellar hits as usual.
	12:02pm Hubig Pie: Gonna be toasty there too clarke, I imagine
	12:02pm Baby: Stupid is what I meant to say. But stumpy works too.
	12:03pm clarke: yer right, HP, but there's a breeze here much of the time, and it ain't built on a swamp.
	12:03pm SeanG: DELBERT!!
	12:03pm clarke: hit 101 yesterday near poplarville, ms
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Look @ the 'bright' side ...this is the Coolest Summer of the rest of our lives...
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WOOFV
	12:07pm egould: 65° and sunny/breezy in Seattle. Looks like its going to 81°. I may have to turn on a fan.
	12:10pm Bob: Keep the fan away from your heroin though. Seattle is lovely.
	12:10pm Kotzwinkled: how has "Feet" not been used by Tarantino yet?
	12:11pm egould: Enough with the platitudes. And don’t tell people how to mourn.
	12:12pm HungryFreak: Mr. Michael, your well is exquisitely deep, my friend!
	12:12pm clarke: somebody order some la la la's?? MovieTime folks??????
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: Asphalt Jungle was our selection this week.
	12:13pm HyperDose: The Saturday morning bachelor pad blues
	12:14pm egould: @Bob not everyone in Seattle is on heroin. :-)
	12:14pm clarke: good one!! haven't seen it in a while, tho.
	12:15pm clarke: since i have access to TCM on this farm i am recording at/on, i have seen a ton of films i hadn't ever seen.
	12:15pm clarke: also i am really enjoying The Old Man series with jeff bridges.
	12:16pm Toothgrinder Tom: @clarke I was thinking of checking that out.
	12:16pm clarke: so far so good tom
	12:17pm clarke: some of the films: The Girl From Missouri with jean harlow. Women To The West w/robert taylor
	12:17pm Squints: And not everyone on heroin was in Seattle.
	12:19pm paul: Play Bigfoot
	12:19pm Bob: Nick and Edmunds on that Cash recording along with Pete and maybe Elvis? I think
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: Always great to hear this Formular’s track
	12:20pm Squints: It's not a ripoff. It's an....homaaaaaage. Yeah, that's the ticket.
	12:20pm clarke: and re-watched the two jack nicholson westerns from 1966 - both brilliant: The Shooting and Ride The Whirlwind
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: LOWE: ibb.co...
	12:22pm Hubig Pie: Today's TCM sched- High Sierra Forbidden Planet The Haunting Mahogany Taxi Driver Down 3 Dark Streets (noir alley)
	12:22pm Kotzwinkled: @clarke when Nicholson says “Your brain's gonna fry out here, you know that?"
	12:22pm Christina Ginger: @clarke! I just watched all three episodes of The Old Man that are currently out, and I think it’s great. There’s also something about Jeff Bridges’ face that I find very lovable, which I think is the perfect contrast to his character’s capabilities.
	12:22pm clarke: HP - i especially will be tuning in for Noir Alley tonight - a rare one!!
	12:23pm clarke: Kotz: "git up here and ride with me boy"
	12:23pm Kotzwinkled: Yesss the Karl Blau cover has been on heavy, HEAVY rotation since Mike introduced it to our household like a year ago. Mike, have you heard the new Phosphorescent cover of same song? Much slowed down, but good of course.
	12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's something to cover this & make it work w/out Harmonies. Tho I'm croaking them myself...
	12:23pm Bob: I just rewatched both The Last Detail and Five Easy Pieces. Unbelievable works of art, both.
	12:24pm Frank Zaatar: So far, I have never heard a bad cover of this song.
	12:24pm phat in lincoln: Killing it today Mike. This Karl Blau freakin' cooks.
	12:24pm clarke: @Christina - so indeliable is Bridges' role as The Dude, that it is tough to not see The Old Man thru those shades.
	12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wow ...actually never actually seen FiveEasyPieces ...just the Hold The Chicken scene...
	12:25pm Motobro: Loving this Karl Blau version.
	12:25pm clarke: @Bob - i re-watched both of those, as well. always great to see every few years: "i'll be fine"
	12:26pm Kotzwinkled: @Bob there is a great clip of Tom Cruise doing Nicholson's "I AM THE SHORE PATROL" tirade from The Last Detail. Can't find it at the moment, but it's worth seeking out.
	12:26pm paul: The Last Detail and Five Easy Pieces are classics. Both better than Easy Rider.
	12:26pm Bob: "I AM THE FUCKING SHORE PATROL!"
	12:26pm rx scabin: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 Mad magazine wrote an excellent parody of Five Easy Pieces. Worth finding.
	12:26pm SeanG: great Nick Lowe photo Michael!
	12:26pm clarke: "there's a jacket behind that seat, there. yer gonna need it.. where i'm goin' is gonna be cold as hell"
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Putting Elvis in the corner of having to measure up as a Cover Artist...
	12:26pm egould: The theme song from the great weird tv show ‘Crime Story’.
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Band is bitchen course.
	12:27pm Christina Ginger: @clarke, I know I’m going to get shit for this, but I’m not really a Lebowski fan… 😬 Adding, Five Easy Pieces is brilliant.
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ok there's Elvis...
	12:28pm Squints: That chorus is kind of cheesy. And simultaneously out effing standing.
	12:28pm clarke: i've gotten grief for this, but will say that MOST chicks don't get the 3 stooges or big lebowski. there - i can handle the shit, ha ha.
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: I also dont get Lebowski... at all
	12:28pm phat in lincoln: John Doe is a national treasure
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: but love the Stooges
	12:29pm Hubig Pie: Karen Black broke my heart at the end of 5EP. I also got a kick outta Bobby Eroica's sister humming along to the piano in her recording session
	12:29pm Christina Ginger: I have no problem with the 3 stooges, Marx brothers, Howard stern….🤷🏻‍♀️
	12:30pm clarke: poor Rayette, HP. she had a good voice.
	12:30pm Bob: Easy Rider hasn't aged that well for sure. But that new book about Hopper and his wife in the 60's is fantastic. God bless crosseyed Karen Black too. What a quirky delight she was.
	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if you think about it - Being Elvis must've been a full-time job...
	12:31pm Christina Ginger: @Bob, I just picked up Mark’s book, and it’s very good. Highly recommend it. Also, Dennis Hopper was an adorable kid.
	12:32pm clarke: oh speaking of hopper, i watched a good portion of Giant, too, this week.
	12:32pm paul: Love it when Hopper or Dern turn up on an old tv rerun.
	12:33pm clarke: good TUNE!!!
	12:33pm HungryFreak: In the "Five East Pieces" mold, which is just pure character study as near as I can remember, "The King Of Marvin Gardens" hits a very similar tone.
	12:33pm rx scabin: @Michael Shelley agreed or the 3 stooges . I get Iggy and . . . .
	12:34pm Squints: Ever since I heard the explicitly Merseyish version of MFWOT on Mountain Stage in 1991 or so, that's the only acceptable one for me.
	12:34pm Jessie: @Bob..I just started reading the Dennis Hopper, Brooke Hayward book. So far it has been really good.
	12:34pm SeanG: PABST BLUE RIBBON!
	12:34pm MFlynn: Love this Marshall Crenshaw song! Definitely #1 in my book! Thanks Michael.
	12:34pm rx scabin: Godd bye. Great selections. I must waterbthe flowers before the heat destroys them.
	12:35pm dday: A perfect pop song from Mr. Crenshaw.
	12:35pm HungryFreak: Marvin Gardens is directed by Nicholson's buddy Bob Rafelson, but no surprise appearance by Dolenz.
	12:35pm McGroovey: One of Marshall's best songs. Weird that it was only a b-side.
	12:35pm Edward: Arthur Alexander didn’t write Burning Love, but his version was released before Elvis’s. This makes him the only artist to have either written or recorded the first version of songs that wetre recorded by Elvis, the Beatles, the Stones, and Bob Dylan.
	12:35pm clarke: this is one of the best uses of the 4-track cassette EVER!! it is too early to discuss the significance of Collette Gagagucci???
	12:35pm Barefoot Jimmy G: Great show, Michael! Making my Saturday...
	12:36pm paul: Saw MC open for Dave Edmunds at a small pub in Chicago.
	12:36pm DG: I still have this Crenshaw track as a b-side (funny that it became so popular---Bette Midler even covered it). On the single it says it's by MC "and the Handsome, Ruthless & Stupid Band." Robert C. (who used to live in my building in the East Village) told me that the name came from a Dorothy Parker quote.
	12:36pm Kotzwinkled: The new Kevin Morby album has a track "Five Easy Pieces" that is about the film, mostly from Karen Black's POV. Good stuff.
	12:37pm rx scabin: Who needs same day delivery?
	12:37pm clarke: marshall once told me that he used a pencil on tin foil to make the snare sound on that 4-track
	12:37pm drr: Agree on The King Of Marvin Gardens. Five Easy Pieces is also directed by Bob Rafelson, isn't it?
	12:37pm phat in lincoln: @Edward that's amazing
	12:38pm Squints: Saw MC with a pickup band, a few times with The Bottle Rockets and once with Los Straitjackets (a summer time show when they paired their luchador masks with bowling shirts).
	12:38pm clarke: yes, dave, and good morning! Rafelson - underrated.
	12:38pm Edward: @Kotzwinkled: That’s amazing, I saw 5EP just a few weeks ago and told people that someone should remake it from Karen Black’s POV.
	12:39pm xtrakrispy: Schitt makes some of the finest, well priced hi-fi audio components available. I guess it's a tie-in with Schitt's Creek?
	12:40pm Bob: High praise for Everyone Thought We Were Crazy by Mark Rozzo. Great book. The stories of Hopper and Brooke's art collecting is mind blowing.
	12:40pm Squints: "Just eat the chicken salad, hon."
	12:40pm drr: Need to revisit 5EP, it's been years. Best movie in the last couple of weeks was a six-hour Frederick Wiseman doc (watched over three nights).
	12:40pm paul: @Edward, then we wouldn't see Sally Struthers naked.
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: I want to know more about the waitress.
	12:40pm phat in lincoln: This is probably the cough medicine speaking: it's a shame there are so many #1 hit songs that they can't all be actual #1 hit songs.
	12:40pm Frank In Queens: Another vote for King Of Marvin Gardens
	12:40pm clarke: dang, DRR!! hello hughie!
	12:41pm SecretSquirrel: I remember the hit version of this - Aussie band, maybe?
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: So many Jack songs... Hey Clarke!
	12:41pm PigeonsAndRust: I was just listening to the Four Jacks and a Jill version of 'Master Jack', which was pretty high up the charts at this time in 1968 . (I amuse myself by looking up old Billboard charts and then use Spotify to assemble a playlist of the Hot 100 in reverse order. I find that from the 60s usually about 90 out of the 100 are on there)
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: I’ve got a Schitt DAC and love it.
	12:41pm drr: I think 5EP was a strange watch the first time because Sally Struthers was Gloria from TV. Don't think I've seen her in anything else but commercials.
	12:42pm paul: I think I'm the only person who saw "The Border."
	12:42pm Squints: phat: Mind literally blown. Although Carl Carfarelli, up Syracuse way, claims they can be The Best Song Ever; they just need to take turns.
	12:42pm phat in lincoln: @PigeonsAndRust that sounds like fun
	12:43pm clarke: the first few times i saw 5EP (on tv) it was so chopped up - but, still loved it.
	12:43pm HungryFreak: Yes I see that Rafelson directed both Easy Pieces and Marvin Gardens. I probably knew that once. Oh the joy of re-discovery.
	12:43pm MFlynn: I wish Joel Patterson would head east! Would love to see him perform live!
	12:43pm phat in lincoln: @Squints are you on the same cough medicine?
	12:43pm clarke: also on same subject: i never had seen the "australian" version of Mad Max until last week!
	12:44pm Michigan Rag: Hot #1 hits Michael on a HOT summer's day here in Traverse City. Digging the percussion on Master Jack.
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: Saw 5EP in the theater because Dad wanted to see it -- so what if his kids were 7 and younger?
	12:45pm clarke: i remember liking The Border - but it's been years.
	12:45pm Squints: phat: Heh. My cough medicine tends to come from distilleries. No lie. Nurse a shot of Jameson's before bed, problem solved.
	12:45pm dk50b: Speaking of Crenshaw and Edison's phonograph, saw him record a wax cylinder at the Edison Labs in 2005
	12:46pm clarke: no lie. @Hughie - was that theater version censored do ya think??
	12:46pm paul: I thought The Border was great. Jack, Keitel and Valerie Perrine.
	12:46pm clarke: what song dk50b??
	12:47pm phat in lincoln: @Squints I haven't nursed a shot in my life, which is why I quit.
	12:49pm clarke: some give nicholson shit for his 'acting', but goddam that scene with his father on the cliffside in 5EP?? damn.
	12:49pm phat in lincoln: "Rock 'em rock 'em see Rock 'em rock 'em saw" Damn.
	12:49pm Hughie Considine: @Clarke, it was most definitely not censored. The sex scenes stood out. My little sister asked Dad, "Why are they fighting?"
	12:49pm clarke: mick jagger!!!!!
	12:50pm Squints: phat, yeah. I stopped smoking dope and mostly stopped hard liquor during my sophomore year at college. Settled into being a beer drinker. I'll sip a shot before bed in the winter when the cough acts up or after shoveling snow.
	12:50pm Squints: She Pays The Rent gets to take many a turn as Best Song Ever.
	12:50pm phat in lincoln: The Lyres don't get enough credit. Even from me. I need more Lyres.
	12:50pm clarke: why ARE they fighting???
	12:50pm dk50b: @clarke sorry to say I can't remember
	12:51pm drr: Did The Lyres stand out from the pack because of the dry snare-forward mix? Nobody else did that, did they?
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lyres were crucial to the entire recognition of the Garage genre. & they freaking Brought It.
	12:52pm drr: I dunno, maybe the Minutemen.
	12:52pm clarke: i don't think The Lyres 'stood out' but a few noticed, fo' sho.
	12:52pm Hughie Considine: I feel like the early Clash had a dry snare-forward mix that was influential.
	12:52pm jmd: Pedro Power!
	12:52pm phat in lincoln: Goddamn, the intro of Corona made me shout! Eff ya! Goddamn.
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean - we're all RokyErickson fans now...
	12:53pm Christina Ginger: When the lyres are on, they are GREAT. There was a year in my life when I had the privilege of engaging in conversations with both Sky Saxon and Jeff Connolly; very interesting….
	12:53pm clarke: topic with no time for real discussion: Paul Murphy vs. John Bernardo?? go...
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: Best show i ever saw: the Minutemen at Maxwell's. Saw the Lyres there too and they were also great, just not as great.
	12:54pm phat in lincoln: My God, D. Boon.
	12:54pm Christina Ginger: @Hughie, the best Lyres show I saw was at Cavestomp 2007. Jeff was in great form that nite.
	12:55pm clarke: whoah hughie! was that when Charlie Pickett opened at maxwell's?? (if so i was in that band)
	12:55pm courtneynoir: Hi, @phat!!
	12:56pm Ciggy: Saw Lyres at Brownies after getting my skin burnt from an all day beach volleyball tournament. They were great. I was not.
	12:56pm drr: Saw the Lyres at Brownies, an hour late due to a snowstorm. Guitarist looked like he forgot they had a gig and they woke him up just in time. He was wearing a Charlotte hornets sweatshirt. Killer, killer show.
	12:57pm Kotzwinkled: lmaoo WOULD YOU ASK TOM PETTY THAT?
	12:57pm clarke: sounds like it was Jack Hickey on guitar, dave
	12:57pm egould: Thanks, MS. Not a number two in the whole playlist.
	12:57pm phat in lincoln: @courtneynoir hey
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: Unable to recall who opened, @Clarke. Not surprised they are still an awesome live act, @Christina.
	12:57pm Glistener MW: Oh man! I forgot about that cringeworthy Thornton interview
	12:57pm drr: clarke: correct.
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: i'm dying over here
	12:58pm phat in lincoln: Lol.
	12:58pm Glistener MW: With the rest of his band sitting there awkwardly, silently, like beaten puppies
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Great show, Michael. Thanks for helping to pass this work day with ease.
	12:58pm Glistener MW: That was so bizarre
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Famous Monsters ~
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Many thanks, Michael. Show was good medicine.
	12:58pm clarke: anyone ever get the feeling they been Really'd?? good nite.
	12:58pm phat in lincoln: Lol
	12:59pm SeanG: @ hey Clarke, what instrument did you play with the Eggs?
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: later all! Great show!
	12:59pm clarke: drums
	12:59pm Glistener MW: Thanks Michael!
	1:00pm clarke: another great one, swami!!
	1:00pm SeanG: Nice! I grew up in South Florida in the 80s, in Coral Springs

	11:03am clarke: bob, what's shakin' in the outer region?
	11:03am egould: From Nazi books to psychedelic trips to dinner in pigeon infested apartments; Mike sure went on an amazing journey this morning.
	11:04am Michael Shelley: FIQ - he played it last week
	11:04am Cooh John: Hi Michael and #1ers. Michael, if you wanted to save $40 for parking last week you should have arrived late like me, Scott, Therese, and Gaylord. Caught the 2 songs we missed on YouTube. 😀
	11:04am SeanG: I remember seeing Macca on the Flowers in the Dirt tour--I think it was at Joe Robbie stadium in south Florida
	11:05am YETI BOB: Frank in Queens - it's in the 1980 film "Rockshow", you can see it here www.youtube.com...
	11:05am clarke: @frank -haven't checked in a while as to the status of your music room??
	11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...how many singing along doing that Pauly lateral head bob thang ...eyebrows arched for extras...
	11:05am Bob: I think he's singing about doobies
	11:06am YETI BOB: song reminds me just a little of "Sea of Love"
	11:06am ledzeppelinsucks: What other palm is there?
	11:06am clarke: @bob, y9u might be right, but naive me is just realizing that.
	11:06am GeoSinPhilly: I always felt that Let Me Roll It was Paul doing an intentional Lennon knock-off. Note the reverb and the guitar riff almost straight from the Plastic Ono album.
	11:07am Frank In Queens: Sorry, bad attempt at a joke…
	11:07am Christina Ginger: GeoSin- I just said to my husband that it is Paul dong his best John!
	11:07am clarke: good point GeoS
	11:07am Christina Ginger: Even the mic treatment on the vocals
	11:07am P-90: Everything about it is Macca showing that he can “do John”
	11:08am Frank In Queens: @clarke there was a bit of a lull, but I just have to have an electrical issue dealt with and then we move full speed ahead.
	11:08am SeanG: @GeoSin--totally man! it sounds like the "I found out" riff
	11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...some remote possibility John & Paul influenced each other ...also could be 'convergent evolution' of different creatures coming up in very similar environments in the 1st instance ...they may have liked the same records @ the same time...
	11:09am clarke: those pesky electrical noises. two words: power conditioner.
	11:09am phat in lincoln: Morning. This show will help me get through the final days (knock on wood) of covid.
	11:09am Frank In Queens: Dug that Aeroplane muchly!
	11:09am Bob: Paul and John would have worked together again, right? if John had not been murdered. Even if George opted out.
	11:09am Louis Boon: Feel better PIL!
	11:10am clarke: dang, Phat!! get better!!!
	11:10am HyperDose: Diggin' that avatar, RRN63 ❤️
	11:10am Cooh John: Nice meeting you last week, Frank in Queens. K8 and I got the covid. We must exchange pictures of our music rooms.🎶
	11:10am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Michael & all
	11:10am egould: Bachelor life!
	11:10am Frank In Queens: It appears that Aeroplane were based out of France, but there was at keast one Brit in the band.
	11:11am SeanG: Hi Greg! great fill-in shows my man!
	11:11am dk50b: Living on ice cream and chocolate kisses
	11:11am SecretSquirrel: Howdy Michael + all! That guitar sound on 'Let Me Roll It' should be beamed out into space forever.
	11:11am clarke: WHOAAHHHH> i have a soul version of this song Color Him Father - by the Winstons.
	11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bob - it seems to be indicated, once the Business worked out more. Even George said things like 'it would be selfish for TheBeatles not to work together again' - which surprised me! As he was the least interested in more Beatlemania. Or Fame @ all in a way.
	11:12am Ciggy: Laura Cantrell told me she never heard The Winston's version. I couldn't believe it.
	11:12am phat in lincoln: It's been a rough week, honestly, but I'm much better now.
	11:12am Wind: How beautiful a song! ....never heart it before!
	11:12am Bob: This always struck me as one of those MSR records. Long live Tommy Ardolino!
	11:13am phat in lincoln: That Color Him Father is fantastic.
	11:13am SecretSquirrel: and yes, @GeoSinPhilly – the whole thing is absolutely Lennonesque
	11:13am Squints: Clarke, I like the Winston's version. I REALLY like this one.
	11:13am Moammar: Ah. love that Linda Martell side.
	11:13am clarke: @phat - i don't doubt it, glad you made it thru, and i am sure you will be really tired for a few weeks, if your strain is like the ones i have encountered.
	11:14am Peter Horvath: Ahoy Michael and listeners from Highland Park, NJ - home of the Band-Aid
	11:14am Frank In Queens: @clarke power conditioning is definitely happening. Just a matter if i can fit it in the wall or i have to get a strip.
	11:14am Squints: Numbah One bass line, theah
	11:14am clarke: that Winstons version is the One for moi. but, the pedal steel is steelin' my heart, as well.
	11:15am Bob: Has New Jersey contributed anything more important than the Band-Aid?
	11:15am clarke: i found a reasonably priced power conditioner on ebay - it really helped.
	11:15am HyperDose: @Bob Super fund sites!
	11:16am Bob: Better than mediocre fund sites, I guess
	11:17am clarke: Ice Cream & Kisses....ahhhh.
	11:18am clarke: did Baby get lost in the vines??
	11:19am Ciggy: 82° and rising in Money Earnin Mt. Vernon
	11:19am clarke: it hit 101 in southern MS, yesterday afternoon. whew!
	11:20am YETI BOB: Bob: How about Edison's invention of the phonograph? I think that was in NJ.
	11:20am clarke: you mean edison's appropriation of someone else's invention?
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HyperD Cheers! Kirby the King. Good Morning.
	11:22am YETI BOB: clarke: I know Edison didn't really invent the light bulb, but if he didn't invent the phonograph, who did?
	11:22am egould: I like an Everly Brothers harmony. I like this band.
	11:23am phat in lincoln: @clarke yeah, I'm expecting the fatigue to drag on a bit. Whew
	11:23am clarke: instant classic!
	11:24am dk50b: @clarke who invented a workable phonograph and recording system that Edison stole?
	11:25am phat in lincoln: @Michael Shelley definitely good point about the fill.
	11:25am Bob: Yeti. Good point. His lab is down the road in Dearborn Michigan so I forget it was from Jersey. The phonograph loses some points because some people now play Red Hot Chili Peppers albums on them.
	11:25am clarke: i believe a Curt Boettcher production? @dk - i remember hearing that a lot of the inventions of edison were other guys who were under his aegis. i am not specifically sure about the phonograph.
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They make a point about how much Recording Drums changed...
	11:26am phat in lincoln: This Groop track is awesome
	11:26am YETI BOB: Groop is Groovy!
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SunshinePop ~ VintageStudioPop ...paging AndrewSandoval...
	11:26am Hoboken Jack: Sounds like they want to go up up and away in a beautiful balloon.
	11:26am Christina Ginger: @Dk www.soundrecordinghistory.net...
	11:27am b0b plasticland milwaukee: that 🌵 cactus blossoms song sounded like m friends band in Waukesha ..named the Bo Deans
	11:27am Peter Horvath: More songs need ba-ba-ba-bas.
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Christina Cheers - bookmarked.
	11:28am clarke: @Rev - the current trend in recording drums is to revert to the classic Glyn Johns set-up which uses less mics. so, not sure about innovation.
	11:28am clarke: The Cactus Blossoms have proven to be much better songwriters than the bodeans.
	11:29am Bob: Did Floyd use the same guitar lick in every song? Drivin' Nails.
	11:29am SeanG: I wish my name was Floyd
	11:30am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Baby, Handy, Nursemaid Bagpipe, HyperDose, Frank, Cooh, Clarke, Christina, Greg, Peter, everybody!
	11:30am clarke: dead air. get a new dj. hello jaaaack!!
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: clarke Thx - I'm always hungry for edumacation re Musics in all ways. Typically - can use Beatles to illustrate many progressions. Starting with the whole Drumkit sharing one track with maybe Bass (or more on 1st LP or two!) - recorded with one maybe two mics in 1962 ??
	11:31am P-90: That bachelor diet of ice cream and supermarket pies may be taking a toll
	11:31am Squints: Me, I like the BoDeans. Never moved the ball forward, but Kurt and Sammy were solid craftsmen.
	11:31am clarke: depends on what era beatles, Rev
	11:32am HyperDose: Hoboken Jack's here! Morning, Squints 👓
	11:32am SeanG: Floyd the barber by Nirvana--great song
	11:32am Christina Ginger: Good morning, Jack!
	11:32am clarke: not saying i didn't like the bodeans - just saying that the cacti lads are KILLER songwriters!!
	11:33am YETI BOB: "Hide"-out, hahaha
	11:33am clarke: any complaints? 1-800-867-5309~!!
	11:33am pp: That last guy sounded too much like Phil Hartmann singing.
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: clarke - exactly !
	11:34am xtrakrispy: Yellowstone was forced to close the entire park for the first time in it’s history, last week, due to massive flooding and resulting road damage. Quite devastating from the reporting.
	11:34am YETI BOB: If there's no answer at that number, try 606-0842
	11:35am Cooh John: Hi, Hoboken Jack.
	11:35am MFlynn: Michael, Nick and the Straitjackets were a blast in Ardmore Pa on Thurs. they get better and better each time I see them.
	11:35am clarke: also, if memory disserves me well, the bodeans also had a song called Runaway (as well as mister del shannon rip)
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey - @ exactly the same time - England had a very good by-election took Boris down notches.
	11:36am Frank In Queens: Hey there Jack
	11:37am Cooh John: Caught Nick and LSJ in Cincinnati recently.
	11:37am clarke: @frank - stanley cup opinions??
	11:37am Pedro in Arlington: The approaching irony: Clarence overturns the Loving decision and Ginnie screams "conspiracy!"
	11:38am dano59: Michael— saw Nick / Los S. again in a small church venue on the 14th and I agree — never better. It wasn’t just the band.
	11:38am Bob: Scott nails it with this song. Dragnet high point for me.
	11:38am Toothgrinder Tom: Apparently he wants to take away your condoms?
	11:39am SeanG: what's up with Joey Spampinato these days? is he healthy? loved seeing the Spampinato brothers playing
	11:39am dano59: Oh jeez - I meant it wasn’t just the sound.
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Right don't play fair - Pack the Court. End the Filibuster. Democracy in the USA. ...yeah soft shuffle with crooning - can't take one step wrong or you mess it.
	11:40am dano59: @clarke: Runaway was a single!
	11:40am clarke: joey is fighting cancer on cape cod and last i heard doing pretty well, but it has been a minute.
	11:40am Bob: That Japanese NRBQ tribute album is so excellent!
	11:40am Squints: No bad versions of It Feels Good.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack.
	11:43am clarke: handy - howzit??
	11:44am b0b0b0b0b0b0b: I was talkin more of the sound of the two bands than the songwriting
	11:44am Squints: I went back and listened to some of the Cactus Blossoms stuff from before when they caught my ear on the Twin Peaks redo in 2017, by which time they were pretty much what they are now. Weird but kinda neat how they shifted from OK Western swingish stuff to.... this. This glorious this.
	11:45am clarke: great strides, Squints!!
	11:45am Toothgrinder Tom: The Soup Greens, what a great name.
	11:46am Moammar: Charlie and Ira Loudermilk, favorite sons of Henegar, Alabama. Hard by Sand Mountain, where the snake handlers live.
	11:47am Moammar: Nice of Ira to sober up to make this record.
	11:47am Toothgrinder Tom: Loudermilk has to be one of the weirder names I’ve ever heard tell of.
	11:47am dk50b: Ginger and clarke the need to create villains has created the myth Edison stole other's inventions. What he did was use existing concepts and do the exhaustive work to make them usable. The phonoautograph's recording medium was impractical, he found a practical filament for Swan's incdescent light bulb and invented the electric grid to power it. Light bulbs still use the screw base he introduced.
	11:47am Bob: Speaking of NYC, I finally saw the VU documentary last night. Thoughts? I liked it even though it sort of requires you to basically know the story already. It's no behind the music type presentation. Given how little film there was to work with, I thought it was pretty creative and visually interesting.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even as Luke the Drifter - Hank asked the Boys to consider their side of the bargain...
	11:48am HungryFreak: That reminded me of a broad I used to know.
	11:48am dk50b: NJ inventions to chew on. Tops on the list..bubble wrap www.njinvent.org...
	11:49am HungryFreak: I've chewed on bubble gum but never bubble wrap
	11:49am Cooh John: Broadminded is spelled l-o-v-e. imho
	11:49am clarke: i'm not denegrating Edison - but, he built an empire and hired underling inventors, and financed them and appropriated some of their work. he did a lot of the groundwork inventing early on, tho.
	11:49am egould: This Willie Mitchell is cooking.
	11:50am Squints: Instrumentals like this were right up my pop's alley.
	11:52am phat in lincoln: Oh Jimmy...
	11:53am phat in lincoln: I think I can forgive you, Jimmy, but I'm not sure about the pianist. Lol. Damn, I love this.
	11:54am gf2002: Great to see that Howie Edelson is coming on the show!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Liquid state by the 1st note. The one & only.
	11:55am Ciggy: Now 85° and rising in Money Earnin Mt. Vernon
	11:56am Toothgrinder Tom: The heat dome is fixing itself into place!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Seems completely in step with the times to force one’s religion down other people’s throats. 🤷‍♂️
	11:59am Handy Haversack: Eh, clarke. Been better. COVID symptoms easing for K8. I'm feeling them but testing negative, which just has us super confused. We had to cancel getting out of town.
	11:59am Moammar: Good week to play "The Pill" by Loretta Lynn.
	11:59am HyperDose: Thanks for that very cool link, dk50b
	12:00pm clarke: jeez, HH!! hope thangs git better!!
	12:00pm Hubig Pie: Is now 54° headed for a high of 58° Furnace be burnin' this am. Hello, I loves me some Louvin's
	12:00pm clarke: Hubig!!! that baked-ham feeling is apparently in nola, but i am in southern miss.
	12:01pm egould: I don’t think you ever want to get in someone else’s mind. Like never ever. Never, never, never ever.
	12:01pm Baby: What if the shoes are really stumpy?
	12:02pm SeanG: @clarke thanks for the update on Joey! hope he gets better
	12:02pm Moammar: Joe South sounds like he is drowning in a sea of electric piano and going down for the last time.
	12:02pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone. It is 83 now and will be around 90 later today in the middle of nowhere in Western NY. Stellar hits as usual.
	12:02pm Hubig Pie: Gonna be toasty there too clarke, I imagine
	12:02pm Baby: Stupid is what I meant to say. But stumpy works too.
	12:03pm clarke: yer right, HP, but there's a breeze here much of the time, and it ain't built on a swamp.
	12:03pm SeanG: DELBERT!!
	12:03pm clarke: hit 101 yesterday near poplarville, ms
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Look @ the 'bright' side ...this is the Coolest Summer of the rest of our lives...
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WOOFV
	12:07pm egould: 65° and sunny/breezy in Seattle. Looks like its going to 81°. I may have to turn on a fan.
	12:10pm Bob: Keep the fan away from your heroin though. Seattle is lovely.
	12:10pm Kotzwinkled: how has "Feet" not been used by Tarantino yet?
	12:11pm egould: Enough with the platitudes. And don’t tell people how to mourn.
	12:12pm HungryFreak: Mr. Michael, your well is exquisitely deep, my friend!
	12:12pm clarke: somebody order some la la la's?? MovieTime folks??????
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: Asphalt Jungle was our selection this week.
	12:13pm HyperDose: The Saturday morning bachelor pad blues
	12:14pm egould: @Bob not everyone in Seattle is on heroin. :-)
	12:14pm clarke: good one!! haven't seen it in a while, tho.
	12:15pm clarke: since i have access to TCM on this farm i am recording at/on, i have seen a ton of films i hadn't ever seen.
	12:15pm clarke: also i am really enjoying The Old Man series with jeff bridges.
	12:16pm Toothgrinder Tom: @clarke I was thinking of checking that out.
	12:16pm clarke: so far so good tom
	12:17pm clarke: some of the films: The Girl From Missouri with jean harlow. Women To The West w/robert taylor
	12:17pm Squints: And not everyone on heroin was in Seattle.
	12:19pm paul: Play Bigfoot
	12:19pm Bob: Nick and Edmunds on that Cash recording along with Pete and maybe Elvis? I think
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: Always great to hear this Formular’s track
	12:20pm Squints: It's not a ripoff. It's an....homaaaaaage. Yeah, that's the ticket.
	12:20pm clarke: and re-watched the two jack nicholson westerns from 1966 - both brilliant: The Shooting and Ride The Whirlwind
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: LOWE: ibb.co...
	12:22pm Hubig Pie: Today's TCM sched- High Sierra Forbidden Planet The Haunting Mahogany Taxi Driver Down 3 Dark Streets (noir alley)
	12:22pm Kotzwinkled: @clarke when Nicholson says “Your brain's gonna fry out here, you know that?"
	12:22pm Christina Ginger: @clarke! I just watched all three episodes of The Old Man that are currently out, and I think it’s great. There’s also something about Jeff Bridges’ face that I find very lovable, which I think is the perfect contrast to his character’s capabilities.
	12:22pm clarke: HP - i especially will be tuning in for Noir Alley tonight - a rare one!!
	12:23pm clarke: Kotz: "git up here and ride with me boy"
	12:23pm Kotzwinkled: Yesss the Karl Blau cover has been on heavy, HEAVY rotation since Mike introduced it to our household like a year ago. Mike, have you heard the new Phosphorescent cover of same song? Much slowed down, but good of course.
	12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's something to cover this & make it work w/out Harmonies. Tho I'm croaking them myself...
	12:23pm Bob: I just rewatched both The Last Detail and Five Easy Pieces. Unbelievable works of art, both.
	12:24pm Frank Zaatar: So far, I have never heard a bad cover of this song.
	12:24pm phat in lincoln: Killing it today Mike. This Karl Blau freakin' cooks.
	12:24pm clarke: @Christina - so indeliable is Bridges' role as The Dude, that it is tough to not see The Old Man thru those shades.
	12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wow ...actually never actually seen FiveEasyPieces ...just the Hold The Chicken scene...
	12:25pm Motobro: Loving this Karl Blau version.
	12:25pm clarke: @Bob - i re-watched both of those, as well. always great to see every few years: "i'll be fine"
	12:26pm Kotzwinkled: @Bob there is a great clip of Tom Cruise doing Nicholson's "I AM THE SHORE PATROL" tirade from The Last Detail. Can't find it at the moment, but it's worth seeking out.
	12:26pm paul: The Last Detail and Five Easy Pieces are classics. Both better than Easy Rider.
	12:26pm Bob: "I AM THE FUCKING SHORE PATROL!"
	12:26pm rx scabin: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 Mad magazine wrote an excellent parody of Five Easy Pieces. Worth finding.
	12:26pm SeanG: great Nick Lowe photo Michael!
	12:26pm clarke: "there's a jacket behind that seat, there. yer gonna need it.. where i'm goin' is gonna be cold as hell"
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Putting Elvis in the corner of having to measure up as a Cover Artist...
	12:26pm egould: The theme song from the great weird tv show ‘Crime Story’.
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Band is bitchen course.
	12:27pm Christina Ginger: @clarke, I know I’m going to get shit for this, but I’m not really a Lebowski fan… 😬 Adding, Five Easy Pieces is brilliant.
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ok there's Elvis...
	12:28pm Squints: That chorus is kind of cheesy. And simultaneously out effing standing.
	12:28pm clarke: i've gotten grief for this, but will say that MOST chicks don't get the 3 stooges or big lebowski. there - i can handle the shit, ha ha.
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: I also dont get Lebowski... at all
	12:28pm phat in lincoln: John Doe is a national treasure
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: but love the Stooges
	12:29pm Hubig Pie: Karen Black broke my heart at the end of 5EP. I also got a kick outta Bobby Eroica's sister humming along to the piano in her recording session
	12:29pm Christina Ginger: I have no problem with the 3 stooges, Marx brothers, Howard stern….🤷🏻‍♀️
	12:30pm clarke: poor Rayette, HP. she had a good voice.
	12:30pm Bob: Easy Rider hasn't aged that well for sure. But that new book about Hopper and his wife in the 60's is fantastic. God bless crosseyed Karen Black too. What a quirky delight she was.
	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if you think about it - Being Elvis must've been a full-time job...
	12:31pm Christina Ginger: @Bob, I just picked up Mark’s book, and it’s very good. Highly recommend it. Also, Dennis Hopper was an adorable kid.
	12:32pm clarke: oh speaking of hopper, i watched a good portion of Giant, too, this week.
	12:32pm paul: Love it when Hopper or Dern turn up on an old tv rerun.
	12:33pm clarke: good TUNE!!!
	12:33pm HungryFreak: In the "Five East Pieces" mold, which is just pure character study as near as I can remember, "The King Of Marvin Gardens" hits a very similar tone.
	12:33pm rx scabin: @Michael Shelley agreed or the 3 stooges . I get Iggy and . . . .
	12:34pm Squints: Ever since I heard the explicitly Merseyish version of MFWOT on Mountain Stage in 1991 or so, that's the only acceptable one for me.
	12:34pm Jessie: @Bob..I just started reading the Dennis Hopper, Brooke Hayward book. So far it has been really good.
	12:34pm SeanG: PABST BLUE RIBBON!
	12:34pm MFlynn: Love this Marshall Crenshaw song! Definitely #1 in my book! Thanks Michael.
	12:34pm rx scabin: Godd bye. Great selections. I must waterbthe flowers before the heat destroys them.
	12:35pm dday: A perfect pop song from Mr. Crenshaw.
	12:35pm HungryFreak: Marvin Gardens is directed by Nicholson's buddy Bob Rafelson, but no surprise appearance by Dolenz.
	12:35pm McGroovey: One of Marshall's best songs. Weird that it was only a b-side.
	12:35pm Edward: Arthur Alexander didn’t write Burning Love, but his version was released before Elvis’s. This makes him the only artist to have either written or recorded the first version of songs that wetre recorded by Elvis, the Beatles, the Stones, and Bob Dylan.
	12:35pm clarke: this is one of the best uses of the 4-track cassette EVER!! it is too early to discuss the significance of Collette Gagagucci???
	12:35pm Barefoot Jimmy G: Great show, Michael! Making my Saturday...
	12:36pm paul: Saw MC open for Dave Edmunds at a small pub in Chicago.
	12:36pm DG: I still have this Crenshaw track as a b-side (funny that it became so popular---Bette Midler even covered it). On the single it says it's by MC "and the Handsome, Ruthless & Stupid Band." Robert C. (who used to live in my building in the East Village) told me that the name came from a Dorothy Parker quote.
	12:36pm Kotzwinkled: The new Kevin Morby album has a track "Five Easy Pieces" that is about the film, mostly from Karen Black's POV. Good stuff.
	12:37pm rx scabin: Who needs same day delivery?
	12:37pm clarke: marshall once told me that he used a pencil on tin foil to make the snare sound on that 4-track
	12:37pm drr: Agree on The King Of Marvin Gardens. Five Easy Pieces is also directed by Bob Rafelson, isn't it?
	12:37pm phat in lincoln: @Edward that's amazing
	12:38pm Squints: Saw MC with a pickup band, a few times with The Bottle Rockets and once with Los Straitjackets (a summer time show when they paired their luchador masks with bowling shirts).
	12:38pm clarke: yes, dave, and good morning! Rafelson - underrated.
	12:38pm Edward: @Kotzwinkled: That’s amazing, I saw 5EP just a few weeks ago and told people that someone should remake it from Karen Black’s POV.
	12:39pm xtrakrispy: Schitt makes some of the finest, well priced hi-fi audio components available. I guess it's a tie-in with Schitt's Creek?
	12:40pm Bob: High praise for Everyone Thought We Were Crazy by Mark Rozzo. Great book. The stories of Hopper and Brooke's art collecting is mind blowing.
	12:40pm Squints: "Just eat the chicken salad, hon."
	12:40pm drr: Need to revisit 5EP, it's been years. Best movie in the last couple of weeks was a six-hour Frederick Wiseman doc (watched over three nights).
	12:40pm paul: @Edward, then we wouldn't see Sally Struthers naked.
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: I want to know more about the waitress.
	12:40pm phat in lincoln: This is probably the cough medicine speaking: it's a shame there are so many #1 hit songs that they can't all be actual #1 hit songs.
	12:40pm Frank In Queens: Another vote for King Of Marvin Gardens
	12:40pm clarke: dang, DRR!! hello hughie!
	12:41pm SecretSquirrel: I remember the hit version of this - Aussie band, maybe?
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: So many Jack songs... Hey Clarke!
	12:41pm PigeonsAndRust: I was just listening to the Four Jacks and a Jill version of 'Master Jack', which was pretty high up the charts at this time in 1968 . (I amuse myself by looking up old Billboard charts and then use Spotify to assemble a playlist of the Hot 100 in reverse order. I find that from the 60s usually about 90 out of the 100 are on there)
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: I’ve got a Schitt DAC and love it.
	12:41pm drr: I think 5EP was a strange watch the first time because Sally Struthers was Gloria from TV. Don't think I've seen her in anything else but commercials.
	12:42pm paul: I think I'm the only person who saw "The Border."
	12:42pm Squints: phat: Mind literally blown. Although Carl Carfarelli, up Syracuse way, claims they can be The Best Song Ever; they just need to take turns.
	12:42pm phat in lincoln: @PigeonsAndRust that sounds like fun
	12:43pm clarke: the first few times i saw 5EP (on tv) it was so chopped up - but, still loved it.
	12:43pm HungryFreak: Yes I see that Rafelson directed both Easy Pieces and Marvin Gardens. I probably knew that once. Oh the joy of re-discovery.
	12:43pm MFlynn: I wish Joel Patterson would head east! Would love to see him perform live!
	12:43pm phat in lincoln: @Squints are you on the same cough medicine?
	12:43pm clarke: also on same subject: i never had seen the "australian" version of Mad Max until last week!
	12:44pm Michigan Rag: Hot #1 hits Michael on a HOT summer's day here in Traverse City. Digging the percussion on Master Jack.
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: Saw 5EP in the theater because Dad wanted to see it -- so what if his kids were 7 and younger?
	12:45pm clarke: i remember liking The Border - but it's been years.
	12:45pm Squints: phat: Heh. My cough medicine tends to come from distilleries. No lie. Nurse a shot of Jameson's before bed, problem solved.
	12:45pm dk50b: Speaking of Crenshaw and Edison's phonograph, saw him record a wax cylinder at the Edison Labs in 2005
	12:46pm clarke: no lie. @Hughie - was that theater version censored do ya think??
	12:46pm paul: I thought The Border was great. Jack, Keitel and Valerie Perrine.
	12:46pm clarke: what song dk50b??
	12:47pm phat in lincoln: @Squints I haven't nursed a shot in my life, which is why I quit.
	12:49pm clarke: some give nicholson shit for his 'acting', but goddam that scene with his father on the cliffside in 5EP?? damn.
	12:49pm phat in lincoln: "Rock 'em rock 'em see Rock 'em rock 'em saw" Damn.
	12:49pm Hughie Considine: @Clarke, it was most definitely not censored. The sex scenes stood out. My little sister asked Dad, "Why are they fighting?"
	12:49pm clarke: mick jagger!!!!!
	12:50pm Squints: phat, yeah. I stopped smoking dope and mostly stopped hard liquor during my sophomore year at college. Settled into being a beer drinker. I'll sip a shot before bed in the winter when the cough acts up or after shoveling snow.
	12:50pm Squints: She Pays The Rent gets to take many a turn as Best Song Ever.
	12:50pm phat in lincoln: The Lyres don't get enough credit. Even from me. I need more Lyres.
	12:50pm clarke: why ARE they fighting???
	12:50pm dk50b: @clarke sorry to say I can't remember
	12:51pm drr: Did The Lyres stand out from the pack because of the dry snare-forward mix? Nobody else did that, did they?
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lyres were crucial to the entire recognition of the Garage genre. & they freaking Brought It.
	12:52pm drr: I dunno, maybe the Minutemen.
	12:52pm clarke: i don't think The Lyres 'stood out' but a few noticed, fo' sho.
	12:52pm Hughie Considine: I feel like the early Clash had a dry snare-forward mix that was influential.
	12:52pm jmd: Pedro Power!
	12:52pm phat in lincoln: Goddamn, the intro of Corona made me shout! Eff ya! Goddamn.
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean - we're all RokyErickson fans now...
	12:53pm Christina Ginger: When the lyres are on, they are GREAT. There was a year in my life when I had the privilege of engaging in conversations with both Sky Saxon and Jeff Connolly; very interesting….
	12:53pm clarke: topic with no time for real discussion: Paul Murphy vs. John Bernardo?? go...
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: Best show i ever saw: the Minutemen at Maxwell's. Saw the Lyres there too and they were also great, just not as great.
	12:54pm phat in lincoln: My God, D. Boon.
	12:54pm Christina Ginger: @Hughie, the best Lyres show I saw was at Cavestomp 2007. Jeff was in great form that nite.
	12:55pm clarke: whoah hughie! was that when Charlie Pickett opened at maxwell's?? (if so i was in that band)
	12:55pm courtneynoir: Hi, @phat!!
	12:56pm Ciggy: Saw Lyres at Brownies after getting my skin burnt from an all day beach volleyball tournament. They were great. I was not.
	12:56pm drr: Saw the Lyres at Brownies, an hour late due to a snowstorm. Guitarist looked like he forgot they had a gig and they woke him up just in time. He was wearing a Charlotte hornets sweatshirt. Killer, killer show.
	12:57pm Kotzwinkled: lmaoo WOULD YOU ASK TOM PETTY THAT?
	12:57pm clarke: sounds like it was Jack Hickey on guitar, dave
	12:57pm egould: Thanks, MS. Not a number two in the whole playlist.
	12:57pm phat in lincoln: @courtneynoir hey
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: Unable to recall who opened, @Clarke. Not surprised they are still an awesome live act, @Christina.
	12:57pm Glistener MW: Oh man! I forgot about that cringeworthy Thornton interview
	12:57pm drr: clarke: correct.
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: i'm dying over here
	12:58pm phat in lincoln: Lol.
	12:58pm Glistener MW: With the rest of his band sitting there awkwardly, silently, like beaten puppies
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Great show, Michael. Thanks for helping to pass this work day with ease.
	12:58pm Glistener MW: That was so bizarre
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Famous Monsters ~
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Many thanks, Michael. Show was good medicine.
	12:58pm clarke: anyone ever get the feeling they been Really'd?? good nite.
	12:58pm phat in lincoln: Lol
	12:59pm SeanG: @ hey Clarke, what instrument did you play with the Eggs?
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: later all! Great show!
	12:59pm clarke: drums
	12:59pm Glistener MW: Thanks Michael!
	1:00pm clarke: another great one, swami!!
	1:00pm SeanG: Nice! I grew up in South Florida in the 80s, in Coral Springs
