	3:56pm PaulRobeson1922: Relax…
	3:57pm taryninstereo: @Jack Absolutely!
	3:57pm medson: Downtown JC Saturday afternoons 3-6 aint too shabby either
	3:58pm Sylvia: Hey Todd and all
	4:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Yo medson! Killer show yesterday.
	4:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Todd and Phonnie Farm!
	👻 4:01pm Hoboken Jack: HP Ken! Howdy sir!
	4:01pm medson: Thanks Greg. Glad you enjoyed it
	4:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. Time of the season for holiday pants!
	4:02pm joe_rosevear: Hi, folks!
	4:04pm clarke: tympani's - check!
	4:04pm joe_rosevear: Hi, Todd-o!
	4:04pm Fredericks: Is that Peter Tork playing bass? Whoever it is it's great.
	4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Why don't you kill who I kill to be free.
	4:05pm clarke: not being a joiner is not being a quitter!
	4:05pm joe_rosevear: Why are we quitting Twitter?
	4:05pm PaulRobeson1922: The internet is a big dead end
	4:05pm joe_rosevear: Why, what's up?
	4:06pm PaulRobeson1922: The internet has become bigger flop than the moving image
	4:06pm joe_rosevear: Sounds like you are disappointed.
	4:07pm PaulRobeson1922: I have heard sound without sound
	4:07pm joe_rosevear: Of course, there's more to the Internet than social media.
	4:07pm PaulRobeson1922: Blattttt
	👻 4:08pm TonyR: "Gee Whiz" the Carla Thomas song?
	4:08pm joe_rosevear: Just saying.
	👻 4:08pm TonyR: Guess not.
	4:08pm joe_rosevear: Like you can be a web publisher.
	4:09pm joe_rosevear: And where would we be without email?
	👻 4:09pm TonyR: Evil repositories like Twitter, FB, etc. are unfortunately must-dos for struggling musicians.
	4:10pm DjLorraine: I know, but i'm trying to practice being well behaved
	4:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @TonyR: I think I was conflating "Gee Whiz" and "Gee" by The Crows.
	4:11pm Slaboch: Can't wait to check out the LR exhibit on Monday! Sounding great as always TOPT! See ya soon!
	4:11pm joe_rosevear: Social media, and the other evil repositories, are what you make of them.
	4:11pm Christina Ginger: Good news: I’m not too late for Todd!
	4:11pm joe_rosevear: Todd-o.
	4:11pm clarke: good news!!
	👻 4:11pm TonyR: Twitter stands out as a black hole.
	👻 4:12pm TonyR: "But this house is so tasty!"
	4:12pm joe_rosevear: Something must have happened--has it been in the news?
	👻 4:13pm TonyR: Whoa - thought this song started out in 3rd person on this demo.
	👻 4:14pm TonyR: *Pale Blue
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LouReed was just ...just so damned good.
	4:15pm Corey: Man these are real cool to listen in on!
	👻 4:16pm TonyR: ... for so LONG.....
	👻 4:16pm John L: I went to the Lou Reed exhibit a few months ago. It was great, but I have to go back; I was with a friend and I think it might be best experienced alone. It's up until March 4.
	4:16pm clarke: any notation as to who was singing harmony and additional instruments on these demo's?
	4:16pm McGroovey: Well, this is nice. And I mean "nice" in a good way.
	4:17pm clarke: maaaagroooooovs!!
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FolkRawk Perspective : BYrdS' debut album not out until 21st June, 1965.
	👻 4:17pm TonyR: Where is the unplugged "Ostritch", that's what I wanna know!
	4:17pm clarke: hesitate to ask, McGroovey, but how is yer mum??
	4:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @clarke: John Cale.
	4:18pm clarke: thanks - good harmonica!
	4:19pm Fredericks: Boy, this Nico sounds great.
	👻 4:19pm TonyR: It took me only about 50 years to understand "I'll Be Your Mirror".
	4:20pm PaulRobeson1922: There may be fentanil in your kid’s drugs now. If u want them to live, if u want to live- test it all www.dancesafe.org
	4:20pm San Pedro Girl: Hey Todd and listeners. Loving this Lou, John Cale and Nico.
	4:21pm joe_rosevear: I searched on "what's up with twitter": franksocialmedianetwork.com...
	4:21pm bittycar: Enjoying the show! Good sounds, as always, Todd!
	4:21pm McGroovey: @ckarke Mom is her normal slightly difficult self. She got up and walked around when there was no one in the room with her, which she's not supposed to be doing yet. But she talks like a normal, non-delusional person again, which wasn't true last week.
	4:22pm clarke: ok - whew!!
	4:22pm Pedro in Arlington: See the Lou exhibit at NYPL. Was lucky enough to also see the now-closed Laurie exhibit here in DC at the Hirshhorn. Two brilliant people who found each other.
	4:22pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks @bittycar and @San Pedro Girl, @Fredericks and all you stellar folks.
	4:22pm Marie: perfect song for this late fall.early twilight
	4:23pm Alvy Singer: It's a damn shame that the Velvet's never had a studio version of I'm Not A Young Man Anymore. What a killer guitar lick the live version has.
	4:23pm clarke: yes, marie!! dreary here, too.
	4:24pm joe_rosevear: ... anyway, thanks for the enlightenment.
	4:24pm McGroovey: @clarke But, yeah, I know what you mean. Like, I want to send Xmas cards to old friends of my parents, but you never know who's dead (to say it bluntly).
	4:25pm clarke: i know. well, hoping for the best with your mom, buddy!
	4:25pm Pedro in Arlington: The Laurie film "Heart of a Dog" is great too. Was part of the Smithsonian show.
	4:26pm clarke: i guess we just have to risk being wrong, sometimes.
	4:26pm Marie: @clarke--yeah, I can imagine walking in the bare, cold woods, and that song brightens it all up somehow. Where are you? In NYC--Queens (Woodside)
	4:26pm San Pedro Girl: Lou Reed was a national treasure.
	4:26pm clarke: new orleans the Croissant City
	4:28pm bobobobobobob: Same title .. different song on Berlin lp
	4:28pm Marie: 2clarke--noice! that always sounds good to me. Hope you didn't get hit with tornadoes this week
	4:29pm ?: WFMU! White Fat Men United!
	4:29pm clarke: near miss - but, definitely a "puckering" moment!!
	4:31pm clarke: when the weather channel says "if you live in the lower garden district, you have about 8 minutes to get to a safe spot" it will put a scare inta ya.
	4:31pm bobobob: if you people on the comment board wanna see something good ..DVD of Laurie.Lou .&John Zorn
	4:31pm Van Winkle ;-): Men of Good Fortune is a beautiful song...thanks for selecting & presenting...
	👻 4:31pm TonyR: WFMU... where we put 'em on the glass.
	4:32pm Alvy Singer: Cycle Annie would have fit in nicely on Loaded.
	4:32pm PaulRobeson1922: WFMU…love my girl
	👻 4:32pm TonyR: .... or "Magic and Loss"?
	4:33pm bobobob: not to be confused with The Beachnuts on Bang Records...or some Yellow color label
	4:34pm Jeezy: This is John Cale harmonizing right?
	4:34pm Christina Ginger: Damn, this is gorgeous.
	👻 4:34pm TonyR: Sounded like Cale doing the speaking.
	👻 4:35pm TonyR: John Cale: Not exactly chopped liver.
	4:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Yes, Cale.
	4:35pm San Pedro Girl: This rough "Waiting for the Man" is pure delight. <3
	4:36pm Frank Zaatar: I could imagine this arrangement being covered by Peter, Paul, and Mary. Especially if Dave Van Ronk had joined them.
	4:36pm clarke: fine, fine music.
	👻 4:36pm TonyR: The country version of WFTM.
	4:36pm HyperDose: This is outstanding
	👻 4:36pm Frank In Queens: @Frank, I could totally hear DVR singing this arrangement.
	4:37pm Christina Ginger: Perhaps with a little kazoo solo, FIQ, and Frank.
	4:38pm Alvy Singer: 'm probably reminded of Dave van Ronk's recording of "Cocaine Blues" largely due to the subject matter--but the chord structure, the finger-picking, the lo-fi, the little bit of talking blues--all of that is such a hallmark of van Ronk's Village sound (which Dylan very much borrowed from, at least per van Ronk).
	4:38pm common: great stuff todd!
	4:38pm Frank Zaatar: My thoughts exactly.
	4:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Alvy Singer: Christina played a great Van Ronk song on Rotations this past Thursday.
	4:39pm Susan & Bryan: thank you! GREAT show
	4:39pm McGroovey: Ride Into the Sun might be my favorite Lou Reed song, and this is a great version.
	4:40pm radioronan: What I find astonishing is that those tapes were sitting in his office sealed all those years..so glad they released them to the public.
	4:40pm puffy: Awesome set!!
	4:40pm San Pedro Girl: Wow is right Todd.
	👻 4:41pm TonyR: Good thing no one just tossed the sealed packet on top of the speakers.
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don't you love Demos of great things.
	4:42pm clarke: yes,. yes i do!
	4:44pm David Shortell: I enjoyed Laurie Anderson’s “Heart of A Dog” at Asbury Park’s Showroom several years ago. It’s got nothing to do with the Mikhail Bulgakov novella though.
	4:47pm The Spoony: John Cale is like a shark, he has to keep moving otherwise he drowns.
	4:47pm Bluesman: Fun Fact: Mudhoney’s Mark Arm personally shipped my copy of the Words & Music!
	4:50pm clarke: that was very well put.
	4:52pm Christina Ginger: @Alvy: I really dig DVR. I picked up some of his 60’s albums back as a young teen, probably because of my Dylan obsession, and just realized that I really need to grab his 80’s Back to Brooklyn album- it’s spectacular. His autobiography is a wonderful read as well. Supposedly, Dylan stole the harmonica holder look from Jesse Fuller, who wrote the song that I played Dave’s version of on my show.
	4:58pm Alvy Singer: @Bluesman--Mark personally shipped my copy as well too. I'm guessing Sub Pop is doing the fulfillment for Light In The Attic.
	4:58pm clarke: one way to live forever is to record a lot of stuff -- but, it is important that someone has ACCESS to the work, after your body leaves the earth.
	5:01pm Alvy Singer: Lou once said to artist Julian Schnabel that no one ever got Berlin. Plus, Berlin was going to be a double LP too. To think what that might have been.
	5:05pm clarke: very sweet!
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is both amazing & endearing.
	5:06pm puffy: I had the pleasure once to serve Lou at a restaurant in the West Village. He ordered a veal Milanese with arugula (but without cherry tomatoes). He ate it all, and when I went to pick up his plate, he said, “Alright. This is dead.” One of the best moments of my life.
	5:06pm Vertual: This stuff is gold...
	5:09pm Frank Zaatar: @Christina: Agreed about the brilliance of Van Ronk throughout his career. Have you checked out his album of Brecht songs with Frankie Armstrong?
	5:10pm Frank Zaatar: Hey, don't knock Sam the Sham!
	5:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank Zaatar: I wasn't knocking him! Cameron Crowe brought him last week so I thought I would bring him up this week.
	5:12pm clarke: it was not a knock.
	5:14pm DjLorraine: joe_rosevear i like your headlamp. (Check: banned journalists on free speech platform)
	5:16pm Frank Zaatar: Good to hear. His stuff still stands up.
	5:16pm Hams: appreciate it, laurie!
	5:16pm Alvy Singer: Another excellent interview Todd. Thanks so much for your work.
	5:16pm bittycar: That was a pleasure to hear! Thank you, Todd!
	5:17pm ellliot: Great Laurie Anderson show at the Smithsonian Hirschhorn in DC this year. Much love to this amazing Woman. Great paintings sculptures and sounds.
	5:17pm ClayBeFree: Wow.. What an amazing interview. Thank you Todd 🙏🙏
	5:17pm chris in the redwoods: great interview, Todd-o-Phonic. thanks to Ms. Anderson for her time and insights.
	5:17pm Melon: Laurie Anderson <3
	5:17pm San Pedro Girl: Very good to hear Laurie talk about Lou. Excellent interview Todd. Thanks!
	5:17pm clarke: speaking of no-knocks - dunno know how many of you remember the gasoline ad campaign of the 60's??
	5:18pm goes211: Thank you, Todd. Eye, ear AND mind opening interview.
	5:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @clarke: Gulf.
	5:18pm Woo: Thank you Todd. Love listening to Laurie's voice. Yours ain't bad either.
	5:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Glad you kids like the interview!
	5:18pm clarke: two horse-shoes - i wish i had that sticker!!
	👻 5:19pm Frank In Queens: Nice work, Todd
	5:19pm clarke: much enjoyed the interview, she is very well-spoken!
	5:19pm Christina Ginger: @Frank- I have heard a few songs from it, and know his earlier versions of Brecht from other albums, but have not heard the whole thing. I had a terrible issue with cutting off a lot of people after a certain time/ year when I was younger… still trying to right my wrongs!
	5:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: Thank you sir. Looking forward to hearing you new Drop In show at the top of the hour.
	5:20pm Christina Ginger: I loved this interview, Todd.
	5:20pm clarke: @Christina - no, i think it is right to cut off artists, ha ha. most of the time.
	5:20pm Vertual: Great interview - I got more from that than say, reading an interview that's been filtered by some uninformed writer and a clueless editor who wouldn't know Lou history as well as Todd. Hit all the right notes.
	5:21pm PaulRobeson1922: Philosophy is, in short, the loVe of Wisdom
	5:22pm clarke: most of the time, if an artist says "you oughtta hear what i am doing now!" - i would not recommend that. ha ha
	5:23pm The Butterman: Yes, thank you Laurie and Todd. Wonderful. Special stuff!
	👻 5:23pm Elena: Amazing interview, thank you.
	5:23pm clarke: in fact, Sam The Sham said that very thing to me, and handed me a cd, once. i listened to it ONCE.
	5:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You are very welcome.
	5:23pm jake6573: Walking the dog by Laurie Anderson might be the single greatest thing I have ever heard. Just saying !
	5:24pm chresti: Thanks Todd and Laurie!
	5:24pm Frank Zaatar: @Christina: I heard him do a blistering version of The Legend of the Dead Soldier in the 70s.
	5:24pm McGroovey: Luna's version of Ride Into the Sun was probably the first vocal version I heard.
	5:25pm Bluesman: @Alvey I think yer correct. I normally don’t save shipping boxes by the LITA label with Mark’s return address is a hoot to look at!
	5:25pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Oh man, missed most of the show...gotta go back and listen in archives!!
	5:25pm Frank Zaatar: @Clarke: OK, you can send it to me. :v)
	👻 5:25pm Frank In Queens: cutting off artists is fine when their work no longer interests you. But it's foolish to cut them off at a particular point because others say they're no longer "cool" or "good" after that point. I missed out on a lot of great later-era releases by some great artists when i was younger because I was told not to bother.
	5:25pm Corey: Special radio all the way around. The world’s a mess but it’s nice to be reminded when it isn’t. Thanks, Todd!
	5:26pm clarke: i gave all my cd's away. you don't want to hear it - keep your view special.
	5:26pm Van Winkle ;-): All the more reason to support your local library...should you be living in or passing through NYC before Mar 4th. Wonderful interview.
	5:27pm Bluesman: TOPT: Me and the Mrs. really enjoyed the interview while fried up a batch of latkes.
	👻 5:27pm Frank In Queens: Plus, your tastes mature and change, so something that you might not have liked when you were 21 might suddenly appeal at 41.
	5:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Bluesman: I hope none of them burned because of me.
	5:28pm clarke: will agree with that. there was a certain time-period i would wince if i heard strings, ha ha.
	5:28pm Frank Zaatar: I'll take your word for it. I'll always treasure hearing Woolly Bully planing incessantly from a penny arcade where I used to spend the summer.
	👻 5:28pm Frank In Queens: @clarke there you go! Or certain production values (cough cough the 80s cough).
	5:29pm clarke: exactly. i am still not getting over that, tho, h aha.
	5:29pm Van Winkle ;-): @ Frank...or even 61. ;-)
	5:29pm clarke: but, i am saying in MOST cases, a cut-off is a good thang.
	5:30pm Christina Ginger: Well, that’s totally it. Production values, certain instruments that you don’t like (flute is a no-go for me), perhaps not being socially/ emotionally mature enough for some things… I’ve come around on a fair amount of stuff, particularly 80’s material.
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Magic. & Loss. ...always felt fortunate I was never into anything I've been ashamed of later. Rather, yeah ...ashamed of things I remember I could not get to yet. Perhaps this is something that characterizes an FMUvian. I dunno.
	5:30pm mespr: Look up the Velvet Revival band, a spin off the Plastic People of the Universe that sparked the Czech revolution. They did more than courtesy to the original. This music undid autocracy.
	5:31pm clarke: yeah, flutes were averted at one point - which was silly.
	5:31pm MarciB: This has been an epic show - thank you Todd!
	5:32pm clarke: and yeah, don't do revival or tribute bands (for the most part), here.
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thing is - Lou also loved DooWop & Rawk'n'Roll & probly WoolyBully. Dylan put WoodyGuthrie, ChuckBerry & Kerouac & Ginsberg together - LouReed added the Street. Think often of Yoko saying John loved NYC cause it was a really big Liverpool - & how TheRamones were both 'Dumb' ...& yet Perfectly Designed...
	5:34pm clarke: nikki!!
	5:34pm clarke: epic!!
	5:36pm mespr: Understood and accepted, but seriously. The Velvet Underground (along with Zappa), brought down the soviet union,
	5:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerknow - yer Pop ...& yer Art ...a specific Time, & specific Places they really collided...
	5:37pm Bluesman: @TOPT - Roberta remained focused. Coming out perfect.
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have you seen 'How The Beatles Rocked The Kremlin' ?

	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...while in the West of course Rawk ~ CounterCulture always crucified as Commies, right ??...
	👻 5:41pm Frank In Queens: @luka interesting combo!
	5:41pm clarke: the parlour boyZ!!!
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whut ...no Marmite ? :D
	5:41pm luka: @Frank they are mighty, salty + sweet
	5:41pm mespr: Of course the soviet is back, but damn, a cover show behind the Iron curtain by jailed hippies is not the same thing as silly covers.
	5:43pm clarke: i DID see Beatlemania as a yout. crenshaw itteration.
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Saw Crenshaw in B-Mania !
	👻 5:43pm Frank In Queens: @luka, that's usually a good combo.
	5:44pm clarke: yes Rev!!
	5:44pm McGroovey: It's 8 songs. LP or EP? Whatever.
	5:45pm Christina Ginger: Oooh, miso in sweets is a thing! I have been dying to try so pme of the miso caramel recipes I’ve seen around, @luka.
	5:46pm Fredericks: If this is B.B. playing now, I suspect he's a fan of Web Wilder. I know I am.
	5:46pm clarke: this is pretty dang good.
	5:46pm McGroovey: Depends on weather is a $4.99 or a $7.99 record. (That's $7.99 and $9.99 at the record store at the mall.)
	5:46pm McGroovey: *it's
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That Paleo imperative for Sugar & Salt ...like Melody & PowerChords...
	5:47pm luka: @Christina Ginger i vouch for these, it’s the Milk Street recipe
	5:47pm clarke: i like the WW, fredricks!
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just like Umami used to make...
	5:47pm Van Winkle ;-): Sayin' vs tweetin' whatever's on your mind is not always the same thing... ;-)
	5:47pm clarke: -e
	5:48pm Rachel Bo Bachel: Todd! Jumping on to say I listened to the Cameron Crowe interview on the archives and it was DOPE!
	5:48pm clarke: wow - totally different mix than LP!!
	5:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Rachel! What's your final verdict on the Hanukkah shows? Attending any?
	5:49pm Rachel Bo Bachel: This is my fave version of this song <3
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Al Kooper on keys...
	👻 5:50pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, completely different take!
	5:50pm clarke: i'm thinking so??
	5:50pm mespr: I will sign off (I'm working on tweetpit), I just want to express that Lou and Laurie did not only chart new music, they actually changed governments for the good.
	5:50pm DjLorraine: I watched Almost Famous after the Cameron Crowe interview
	5:50pm patrick321: Thanks for the LA interview, Todd.
	👻 5:51pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, totally. drums, no acoustic guitar, organ, different vocal performance and song arrangement.

	4:21pm McGroovey: @ckarke Mom is her normal slightly difficult self. She got up and walked around when there was no one in the room with her, which she's not supposed to be doing yet. But she talks like a normal, non-delusional person again, which wasn't true last week.
	4:22pm clarke: ok - whew!!
	4:22pm Pedro in Arlington: See the Lou exhibit at NYPL. Was lucky enough to also see the now-closed Laurie exhibit here in DC at the Hirshhorn. Two brilliant people who found each other.
	4:22pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks @bittycar and @San Pedro Girl, @Fredericks and all you stellar folks.
	4:22pm Marie: perfect song for this late fall.early twilight
	4:23pm Alvy Singer: It's a damn shame that the Velvet's never had a studio version of I'm Not A Young Man Anymore. What a killer guitar lick the live version has.
	4:23pm clarke: yes, marie!! dreary here, too.
	4:24pm joe_rosevear: ... anyway, thanks for the enlightenment.
	4:24pm McGroovey: @clarke But, yeah, I know what you mean. Like, I want to send Xmas cards to old friends of my parents, but you never know who's dead (to say it bluntly).
	4:25pm clarke: i know. well, hoping for the best with your mom, buddy!
	4:25pm Pedro in Arlington: The Laurie film "Heart of a Dog" is great too. Was part of the Smithsonian show.
	4:26pm clarke: i guess we just have to risk being wrong, sometimes.
	4:26pm Marie: @clarke--yeah, I can imagine walking in the bare, cold woods, and that song brightens it all up somehow. Where are you? In NYC--Queens (Woodside)
	4:26pm San Pedro Girl: Lou Reed was a national treasure.
	4:26pm clarke: new orleans the Croissant City
	4:28pm bobobobobobob: Same title .. different song on Berlin lp
	4:28pm Marie: 2clarke--noice! that always sounds good to me. Hope you didn't get hit with tornadoes this week
	4:29pm ?: WFMU! White Fat Men United!
	4:29pm clarke: near miss - but, definitely a "puckering" moment!!
	4:31pm clarke: when the weather channel says "if you live in the lower garden district, you have about 8 minutes to get to a safe spot" it will put a scare inta ya.
	4:31pm bobobob: if you people on the comment board wanna see something good ..DVD of Laurie.Lou .&John Zorn
	4:31pm Van Winkle ;-): Men of Good Fortune is a beautiful song...thanks for selecting & presenting...
	👻 4:31pm TonyR: WFMU... where we put 'em on the glass.
	4:32pm Alvy Singer: Cycle Annie would have fit in nicely on Loaded.
	4:32pm PaulRobeson1922: WFMU…love my girl
	👻 4:32pm TonyR: .... or "Magic and Loss"?
	4:33pm bobobob: not to be confused with The Beachnuts on Bang Records...or some Yellow color label
	4:34pm Jeezy: This is John Cale harmonizing right?
	4:34pm Christina Ginger: Damn, this is gorgeous.
	👻 4:34pm TonyR: Sounded like Cale doing the speaking.
	👻 4:35pm TonyR: John Cale: Not exactly chopped liver.
	4:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Yes, Cale.
	4:35pm San Pedro Girl: This rough "Waiting for the Man" is pure delight. <3
	4:36pm Frank Zaatar: I could imagine this arrangement being covered by Peter, Paul, and Mary. Especially if Dave Van Ronk had joined them.
	4:36pm clarke: fine, fine music.
	👻 4:36pm TonyR: The country version of WFTM.
	4:36pm HyperDose: This is outstanding
	👻 4:36pm Frank In Queens: @Frank, I could totally hear DVR singing this arrangement.
	4:37pm Christina Ginger: Perhaps with a little kazoo solo, FIQ, and Frank.
	4:38pm Alvy Singer: 'm probably reminded of Dave van Ronk's recording of "Cocaine Blues" largely due to the subject matter--but the chord structure, the finger-picking, the lo-fi, the little bit of talking blues--all of that is such a hallmark of van Ronk's Village sound (which Dylan very much borrowed from, at least per van Ronk).
	4:38pm common: great stuff todd!
	4:38pm Frank Zaatar: My thoughts exactly.
	4:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Alvy Singer: Christina played a great Van Ronk song on Rotations this past Thursday.
	4:39pm Susan & Bryan: thank you! GREAT show
	4:39pm McGroovey: Ride Into the Sun might be my favorite Lou Reed song, and this is a great version.
	4:40pm radioronan: What I find astonishing is that those tapes were sitting in his office sealed all those years..so glad they released them to the public.
	4:40pm puffy: Awesome set!!
	4:40pm San Pedro Girl: Wow is right Todd.
	👻 4:41pm TonyR: Good thing no one just tossed the sealed packet on top of the speakers.
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don't you love Demos of great things.
	4:42pm clarke: yes,. yes i do!
	4:44pm David Shortell: I enjoyed Laurie Anderson’s “Heart of A Dog” at Asbury Park’s Showroom several years ago. It’s got nothing to do with the Mikhail Bulgakov novella though.
	4:47pm The Spoony: John Cale is like a shark, he has to keep moving otherwise he drowns.
	4:47pm Bluesman: Fun Fact: Mudhoney’s Mark Arm personally shipped my copy of the Words & Music!
	4:50pm clarke: that was very well put.
	4:52pm Christina Ginger: @Alvy: I really dig DVR. I picked up some of his 60’s albums back as a young teen, probably because of my Dylan obsession, and just realized that I really need to grab his 80’s Back to Brooklyn album- it’s spectacular. His autobiography is a wonderful read as well. Supposedly, Dylan stole the harmonica holder look from Jesse Fuller, who wrote the song that I played Dave’s version of on my show.
	4:58pm Alvy Singer: @Bluesman--Mark personally shipped my copy as well too. I'm guessing Sub Pop is doing the fulfillment for Light In The Attic.
	4:58pm clarke: one way to live forever is to record a lot of stuff -- but, it is important that someone has ACCESS to the work, after your body leaves the earth.
	5:01pm Alvy Singer: Lou once said to artist Julian Schnabel that no one ever got Berlin. Plus, Berlin was going to be a double LP too. To think what that might have been.
	5:05pm clarke: very sweet!
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is both amazing & endearing.
	5:06pm puffy: I had the pleasure once to serve Lou at a restaurant in the West Village. He ordered a veal Milanese with arugula (but without cherry tomatoes). He ate it all, and when I went to pick up his plate, he said, “Alright. This is dead.” One of the best moments of my life.
	5:06pm Vertual: This stuff is gold...
	5:09pm Frank Zaatar: @Christina: Agreed about the brilliance of Van Ronk throughout his career. Have you checked out his album of Brecht songs with Frankie Armstrong?
	5:10pm Frank Zaatar: Hey, don't knock Sam the Sham!
	5:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank Zaatar: I wasn't knocking him! Cameron Crowe brought him last week so I thought I would bring him up this week.
	5:12pm clarke: it was not a knock.
	5:14pm DjLorraine: joe_rosevear i like your headlamp. (Check: banned journalists on free speech platform)
	5:16pm Frank Zaatar: Good to hear. His stuff still stands up.
	5:16pm Hams: appreciate it, laurie!
	5:16pm Alvy Singer: Another excellent interview Todd. Thanks so much for your work.
	5:16pm bittycar: That was a pleasure to hear! Thank you, Todd!
	5:17pm ellliot: Great Laurie Anderson show at the Smithsonian Hirschhorn in DC this year. Much love to this amazing Woman. Great paintings sculptures and sounds.
	5:17pm ClayBeFree: Wow.. What an amazing interview. Thank you Todd 🙏🙏
	5:17pm chris in the redwoods: great interview, Todd-o-Phonic. thanks to Ms. Anderson for her time and insights.
	5:17pm Melon: Laurie Anderson <3
	5:17pm San Pedro Girl: Very good to hear Laurie talk about Lou. Excellent interview Todd. Thanks!
	5:17pm clarke: speaking of no-knocks - dunno know how many of you remember the gasoline ad campaign of the 60's??
	5:18pm goes211: Thank you, Todd. Eye, ear AND mind opening interview.
	5:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @clarke: Gulf.
	5:18pm Woo: Thank you Todd. Love listening to Laurie's voice. Yours ain't bad either.
	5:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Glad you kids like the interview!
	5:18pm clarke: two horse-shoes - i wish i had that sticker!!
	👻 5:19pm Frank In Queens: Nice work, Todd
	5:19pm clarke: much enjoyed the interview, she is very well-spoken!
	5:19pm Christina Ginger: @Frank- I have heard a few songs from it, and know his earlier versions of Brecht from other albums, but have not heard the whole thing. I had a terrible issue with cutting off a lot of people after a certain time/ year when I was younger… still trying to right my wrongs!
	5:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: Thank you sir. Looking forward to hearing you new Drop In show at the top of the hour.
	5:20pm Christina Ginger: I loved this interview, Todd.
	5:20pm clarke: @Christina - no, i think it is right to cut off artists, ha ha. most of the time.
	5:20pm Vertual: Great interview - I got more from that than say, reading an interview that's been filtered by some uninformed writer and a clueless editor who wouldn't know Lou history as well as Todd. Hit all the right notes.
	5:21pm PaulRobeson1922: Philosophy is, in short, the loVe of Wisdom
	5:22pm clarke: most of the time, if an artist says "you oughtta hear what i am doing now!" - i would not recommend that. ha ha
	5:23pm The Butterman: Yes, thank you Laurie and Todd. Wonderful. Special stuff!
	👻 5:23pm Elena: Amazing interview, thank you.
	5:23pm clarke: in fact, Sam The Sham said that very thing to me, and handed me a cd, once. i listened to it ONCE.
	5:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You are very welcome.
	5:23pm jake6573: Walking the dog by Laurie Anderson might be the single greatest thing I have ever heard. Just saying !
	5:24pm chresti: Thanks Todd and Laurie!
	5:24pm Frank Zaatar: @Christina: I heard him do a blistering version of The Legend of the Dead Soldier in the 70s.
	5:24pm McGroovey: Luna's version of Ride Into the Sun was probably the first vocal version I heard.
	5:25pm Bluesman: @Alvey I think yer correct. I normally don’t save shipping boxes by the LITA label with Mark’s return address is a hoot to look at!
	5:25pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Oh man, missed most of the show...gotta go back and listen in archives!!
	5:25pm Frank Zaatar: @Clarke: OK, you can send it to me. :v)
	👻 5:25pm Frank In Queens: cutting off artists is fine when their work no longer interests you. But it's foolish to cut them off at a particular point because others say they're no longer "cool" or "good" after that point. I missed out on a lot of great later-era releases by some great artists when i was younger because I was told not to bother.
	5:25pm Corey: Special radio all the way around. The world’s a mess but it’s nice to be reminded when it isn’t. Thanks, Todd!
	5:26pm clarke: i gave all my cd's away. you don't want to hear it - keep your view special.
	5:26pm Van Winkle ;-): All the more reason to support your local library...should you be living in or passing through NYC before Mar 4th. Wonderful interview.
	5:27pm Bluesman: TOPT: Me and the Mrs. really enjoyed the interview while fried up a batch of latkes.
	👻 5:27pm Frank In Queens: Plus, your tastes mature and change, so something that you might not have liked when you were 21 might suddenly appeal at 41.
	5:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Bluesman: I hope none of them burned because of me.
	5:28pm clarke: will agree with that. there was a certain time-period i would wince if i heard strings, ha ha.
	5:28pm Frank Zaatar: I'll take your word for it. I'll always treasure hearing Woolly Bully planing incessantly from a penny arcade where I used to spend the summer.
	👻 5:28pm Frank In Queens: @clarke there you go! Or certain production values (cough cough the 80s cough).
	5:29pm clarke: exactly. i am still not getting over that, tho, h aha.
	5:29pm Van Winkle ;-): @ Frank...or even 61. ;-)
	5:29pm clarke: but, i am saying in MOST cases, a cut-off is a good thang.
	5:30pm Christina Ginger: Well, that’s totally it. Production values, certain instruments that you don’t like (flute is a no-go for me), perhaps not being socially/ emotionally mature enough for some things… I’ve come around on a fair amount of stuff, particularly 80’s material.
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Magic. & Loss. ...always felt fortunate I was never into anything I've been ashamed of later. Rather, yeah ...ashamed of things I remember I could not get to yet. Perhaps this is something that characterizes an FMUvian. I dunno.
	5:30pm mespr: Look up the Velvet Revival band, a spin off the Plastic People of the Universe that sparked the Czech revolution. They did more than courtesy to the original. This music undid autocracy.
	5:31pm clarke: yeah, flutes were averted at one point - which was silly.
	5:31pm MarciB: This has been an epic show - thank you Todd!
	5:32pm clarke: and yeah, don't do revival or tribute bands (for the most part), here.
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thing is - Lou also loved DooWop & Rawk'n'Roll & probly WoolyBully. Dylan put WoodyGuthrie, ChuckBerry & Kerouac & Ginsberg together - LouReed added the Street. Think often of Yoko saying John loved NYC cause it was a really big Liverpool - & how TheRamones were both 'Dumb' ...& yet Perfectly Designed...
	5:34pm clarke: nikki!!
	5:34pm clarke: epic!!
	5:36pm mespr: Understood and accepted, but seriously. The Velvet Underground (along with Zappa), brought down the soviet union,
	5:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerknow - yer Pop ...& yer Art ...a specific Time, & specific Places they really collided...
	5:37pm Bluesman: @TOPT - Roberta remained focused. Coming out perfect.
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have you seen 'How The Beatles Rocked The Kremlin' ?
	5:38pm eric from lake hiawatha: Splendid thanks Todd
	5:38pm luka: great 1 Todd i been bakin cookies (peanut butter and miso)
	5:39pm Van Winkle ;-): I haven't heard that Wet Leg # before..thanks for the intro...
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...while in the West of course Rawk ~ CounterCulture always crucified as Commies, right ??...
	👻 5:41pm Frank In Queens: @luka interesting combo!
	5:41pm clarke: the parlour boyZ!!!
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whut ...no Marmite ? :D
	5:41pm luka: @Frank they are mighty, salty + sweet
	5:41pm mespr: Of course the soviet is back, but damn, a cover show behind the Iron curtain by jailed hippies is not the same thing as silly covers.
	5:43pm clarke: i DID see Beatlemania as a yout. crenshaw itteration.
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Saw Crenshaw in B-Mania !
	👻 5:43pm Frank In Queens: @luka, that's usually a good combo.
	5:44pm clarke: yes Rev!!
	5:44pm McGroovey: It's 8 songs. LP or EP? Whatever.
	5:45pm Christina Ginger: Oooh, miso in sweets is a thing! I have been dying to try so pme of the miso caramel recipes I’ve seen around, @luka.
	5:46pm Fredericks: If this is B.B. playing now, I suspect he's a fan of Web Wilder. I know I am.
	5:46pm clarke: this is pretty dang good.
	5:46pm McGroovey: Depends on weather is a $4.99 or a $7.99 record. (That's $7.99 and $9.99 at the record store at the mall.)
	5:46pm McGroovey: *it's
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That Paleo imperative for Sugar & Salt ...like Melody & PowerChords...
	5:47pm luka: @Christina Ginger i vouch for these, it’s the Milk Street recipe
	5:47pm clarke: i like the WW, fredricks!
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just like Umami used to make...
	5:47pm Van Winkle ;-): Sayin' vs tweetin' whatever's on your mind is not always the same thing... ;-)
	5:47pm clarke: -e
	5:48pm Rachel Bo Bachel: Todd! Jumping on to say I listened to the Cameron Crowe interview on the archives and it was DOPE!
	5:48pm clarke: wow - totally different mix than LP!!
	5:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Rachel! What's your final verdict on the Hanukkah shows? Attending any?
	5:49pm Rachel Bo Bachel: This is my fave version of this song <3
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Al Kooper on keys...
	👻 5:50pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, completely different take!
	5:50pm clarke: i'm thinking so??
	5:50pm mespr: I will sign off (I'm working on tweetpit), I just want to express that Lou and Laurie did not only chart new music, they actually changed governments for the good.
	5:50pm DjLorraine: I watched Almost Famous after the Cameron Crowe interview
	5:50pm patrick321: Thanks for the LA interview, Todd.
	👻 5:51pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, totally. drums, no acoustic guitar, organ, different vocal performance and song arrangement.
	5:51pm Christina Ginger: Will check it out, thanks, @luka! 🔥
	5:51pm clarke: yes, FiQ
	5:51pm Rachel Bo Bachel: Todd I got two tix for Wednesday, and then we all got Covid for the 1st time last week… that will be day 12 so I should be good to go but you never know… had to cancel my 40th bday party tonight :.( sooo sad!

	6:00pm clarke: @Zaatar - you don't want to hear Sam with drum machines.
	1:22pm Handy Haversack: Todd, just catching up now after being away on Saturday -- many thanks for that interview. I love the depths of feeling and interest and care you always bring to Lou Reed and VR discussions. He was one of us. NYC always remembers. Great stuff. Still processing that he's better known in China as a martial artist!
