	11:13am Frank In Queens: ↳ McGroovey @11:12 As they do nowadays.
	11:14am McGroovey: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:13 But Mrs McGroovey is happy, because she gets to get home before 2am on this schedule. She's not a night person.

	11:18am clarke: Tuesdays ar 5 (for us CST'ers) got it.
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 12 Days of Xmas til 6th Jan. which is Epiphany when the Three WiseMen finally show up. How about decorations that long ? 'Solstice' means 'Sun stands still' - so giving it a minute is reasonable. Sol Invictus !
	11:19am clarke: this oughtta wake Phat up!
	11:19am Squints: Forty-four more of those shows to go.
	11:19am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:17 Nice. It cooled off a bit up here, but not too much.
	11:19am Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @11:18 Thank you, Myron.
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Don't Ease Me In" by "Grateful Dead, The" All over after Pigpen :D ...
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:19 they's a coast sweep storm headed yer way on about friday, mehears
	11:21am drr: In my DJing days "The Golden Road To Unlimited Devotion" was the Dead track I'd play to appease the one person (my roommate) who would call in requests on my show. I think it's under two minutes.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:20 Yes, I've heard rumblings of that coming our way as well.
	11:21am phat in lincoln: Coffee, he said coffee.
	11:21am Jack McGuire: My opinion of the dead is best expressed by the MST episode where the bots perform the endless envelope follower jam. Excruciating.
	11:22am clarke: tellya what, Michael, i'm gonna let you come down here and kick my ass!!
	11:22am Listener Baby: Did you know… The saying, The Creek don’t rise has nothing to do with water?
	11:22am clarke: that would be injun's rite??
	11:23am phat in lincoln: ↳ Jack McGuire @11:21 I need to see this

	11:26am clarke: @Squints - you catch Value Leaders, live, yet??
	11:26am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:26 sadly not yet
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As JesseJarnow observed - they became ThuhDead by showing up - so there's an awful lot of Dead. What's required is a guide thru that to the good bits... Another thing I consider is they gestated in the Acid Tests - not some Club like every other band in the Universe. Their approach to the Muse & even Professionalism was ...coy & circuitous. One didn't want to scare the Vibe away by being too ambitious or aggressive in that SF kinda ethic ...quite its own thing. We don't all have time for that... Then there's the matter of dealing with Deadheads themselves. Too often a pain in the backside - but sometimes intelligent electric very kewl persons.
	11:27am Dennis: My FAVORITE Dave Edmunds rekkid! Love that B-bender!!
	11:28am McGroovey: ↳ myron feld @11:18 Yet another great show on one of the streams that I'll forget to turn on. (Not you fault, Frank; totally mine.)
	11:28am phat in lincoln: ↳ Song: "Never Been In Love" by "Dave Edmunds" This is beginning to wake me up
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:27 ...smart *eclectic & kewl...

	11:30am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:26 i will have to find out when they are hitting plymouth.
	11:30am clarke: JAAACK!!
	11:30am Listener Baby: Jack!
	11:30am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Water Moccasin" by "Matt Lucas" Now I have an impulse to go listen to Dave Edmunds records. But I shall resist the urge.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:29 how them resolutions goin?
	11:30am Frank In Queens: Hi Jack
	11:31am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:07 Gonna try to make it. That it's early definitely helps!
	11:35am Dennis: Re 1910 Fruitgum Co interview: is Larry the interviewee in question?
	11:37am clarke: i thought it was supposed to be juniper
	11:37am Dennis: Larry worked at the musical instrument store in Morristown where my parents bought me my first drum set
	11:38am clarke: good is fine, these days (post-saul)
	11:38am phat in lincoln: I'ma be in DC in a couple weeks. Anything I should check out? I haven't been there in like 4 years
	11:38am P-90: “a game changer in the coffee cake world”
	11:39am Michael Shelley: ↳ Dennis @11:35 yep
	11:39am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:38 you a travellin' man!!
	11:39am Erin in TO: I've seen Cleopatra Jones. It's pretty fun, but the sequel (Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold) is the better film, I think
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ P-90 @11:38 michaelshelley.net...
	11:40am Erin in TO: And I love Cleopatra Jones as a character
	11:40am common: agreed, Erin
	11:40am paul: ↳ Song: "Hurts So Good" by "Millie Jackson" Was this song really about "back door" loving?
	11:40am jimphis: Where again is this apple cake recipe found?
	11:40am geokopp: More songs about vacuums and coffee cake!
	11:40am P-90: Chime in? Cleopatra Jones is one of the essential seminal “blaxploitation” films of the early seventies. If you’re into that or want to investigate.
	11:40am Hughie Considine: Shelly Winters -- where do you start? For me, she was Ma Parker, a somewhat chilling villain on the Batman tv series. But she was indelible whenever she was onscreen. If you haven't seen her sparring with Oliver Reed on the Tonight Show, you have a treat awaiting you at youtube.
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ jimphis @11:40 michaelshelley.net...
	11:40am Bootsie: Totally worth it just for Shelley's outfits!
	11:41am Hughie Considine: Sorry, that's Shelley Winters. It's wrong to misspell Shelley on this program, I tell ya.
	11:42am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:39 Yep. LA at the end of the month, too! Well, Long Beach.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Morning, clarke!
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Jack!
	11:42am Hughie Considine: I make my own bagels because there aren't good ones down here in NYC. Honest!
	11:42am phat in lincoln: Probably no trips for a couple months then, well, not for work. I think I need to just go somewhere as a vacation kinda thing soon.
	11:43am clarke: Handrew!! sup son??
	11:43am Hughie Considine: sorry, in NC!
	11:43am clarke: you wish hugh!
	11:43am paul: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:43 Same here in SC.
	11:44am Frank In Queens: Considering I eat bagels maybe twice a year at most, it's definitely for me to buy!
	11:44am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:42 i might see u in l.a. headed there later this month for extended stay
	11:45am Hughie Considine: I have a great, reliable bagel recipe I've used 100 times. Here it is: boingboing.net...
	11:45am Handy Haversack: Doug in MP (then in JC) gave me bagels he had made, and they were pretty great. But definitely more of a time investment than I am prepared to make.
	11:45am Hughie Considine: Morning, Mr. Clarke!
	11:45am Prof. Booty: Totally agree about the bagels. I make baguettes that have completely put me off of store-bought baguettes (since I no longer live in Berkeley, where I can get Acme...) but any time I've tried bagels, I feel like the payoff is not worth the time & effort. And I'm in NJ, so it's not like good bagels are hard to find...
	11:45am Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Bagel And Lox" by "Charioteers, The" This tune could be a Slim Gaillard song
	11:45am myron feld: NYC area listeners: Utopia Bagels on FOW's favorite street, Utopia Parkway, are great. As in really great.
	11:46am clarke: mistah considine!! good day sir! I SAID GOOD DAY!!
	11:46am herb.nyc: Wnyc Scott Simon mentioned sriracha bagels earlier today. Happy new year to Michael and all.
	11:47am Hughie Considine: I trust you're well and keeping your feathers numbered, @Clarke
	11:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ myron feld @11:45 It's maybe twenty years since I've been on Utopia Parkway!
	11:47am rx scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:47am myron feld: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:47 Don't make it 21!
	11:47am clarke: rx - howdy!
	11:47am Bob: That Canadian power pop is usually top notch. Do you ever play Sloan, Michael? I'm sure you have but they don't seem to be a go-to. Great band.
	11:48am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:44 You had mentioned that. Let me know!
	11:48am Baja Joe: Hello Michael and everyone listening
	11:48am rx scabin: Hello to you, clarke.
	11:48am clarke: @Frank - is bob performing with a broken leg? @Phat - surely will.
	11:49am wenzo: Howdy
	11:49am Handy Haversack: The closest and generally pretty good bagel place to us is under new management, and the one time we got bagel sandwiches there since, they grilled them? Which ... OK, but I mean there was lettuce and mayo on mine. Gonna give them some time to settle in, I think.
	11:50am clarke: hope they cut them all the way thru.
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Jennifer Eccles" by "Strangers, The" Good job with a distinctly Hollies thing.
	11:50am Listener Baby: Turntable #1!,
	11:51am clarke: mangled sandwiches - no way to go through life, son.
	11:51am McGroovey: Now I've been informed by my daughter that I'm making pancakes and bacon for family breakfast. Yes, we're all late risers. Except Mrs McGroovey. So I'll be busy for awhile.
	11:51am clarke: Turntable #1 renounces all statements made against it.
	11:52am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:48 No, they canceled all the shows they had booked. As far as I know, nothing was announced later than the NYE show that was in IL.
	11:52am clarke: damn! well, more time to record.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Down In The Cellar" by "Marvin Rainwater" Breathing is Repetitive.
	11:53am Matt Clarke: Happy New Year, Michael! Hello all!
	11:53am myron feld: I've never held hands in a cellar. Anyone?
	11:53am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:52 look out '23!!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ myron feld @11:53 I don't wanna go down to the basement.
	11:54am clarke: i dont blame ya
	11:54am Frank In Queens: Hey Matt
	11:56am Bob: Someone should do a comp with all the variations on this dance instruction record thing.
	11:56am clarke: @Frank - is newcastle still top of the league? if so: congrats!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:56 As of today, they sit in 3rd place. But they've played 1 more game than the other Top 4 teams.
	11:57am clarke: AL!!!
	11:57am Jack McGuire: Al!
	11:57am listener phat in Lincoln: Been trying to get NRBQ to play here. An old friend apparently has an in.
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 i haven't looked at the standings because it hurts to see my team in the middle of the pack.
	11:58am Listener Baby: Tommy Tommy Tommy!
	11:58am Bob: One thing the band lost with Al's departure was this sort of slightly misogynist boys song. For better and worse. Maybe. I don't know.
	11:58am Euclid Joe: WOW, some deep Q goin' on!
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:58 who loves tommy-o??!!
	11:59am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:59 Goddamn everybody!!
	12:00pm clarke: ha ha, how goes in AA??
	12:00pm clarke: #1 STYLE hits!!
	12:01pm Euclid Joe: Has David Gates been resurrected? Can't find an obit out there.

	12:03pm Ross T.: Oh man you played Shake 'em Up! Had that on 8 track I bought for 99 cents. Perhaps my favorite groove ever.
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:02 damn - i know sometimes covid takes a while to, er, subside. hope it all gits better.
	12:04pm Listener Baby: Listen to that studio! Beautiful!
	12:04pm Dennis Diken: Hey Mikey & gang - this Steve Lawrence track TOTALLY RULES!

	12:04pm Sandro: Looking for obits for David Gates. I don't see anything official, and there are some sites saying it's a hoax. Maybe I'm missing something?
	12:05pm clarke: DD!! i have a rock and roll single by steve lawrence. bueno.

	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Last Night I Made A Little Girl Cry" by "Steve La... It's interesting kinda part Strings & big Production & aspiring to Beat Group Gittar oriented expression. Like one had to try to be like a small band...
	12:08pm clarke: GGY!! GGSq~
	12:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Corey @12:02 Afternoon, Corey!
	12:08pm Moammar: Who's playing guitar on "Love Attack." Is that a Muscle Shoals thing?
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:06 ...yerknow one often thinks ...just a get a band & play it & record that ...but no one asks our opinion.
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Sandro @12:04 I think it IS a hoax!
	12:09pm clarke: sounds like hawkins on drooms
	12:10pm clarke: even if it's a hoax, a Gates tribute would be GREAT and well-deserved!! while someone's still alive, fer once!
	12:10pm Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:09 Weirdest thing ever to make a hoax about.
	12:10pm myron feld: ↳ Listener Baby @12:10 Right?
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Baby @12:10 Can't underestimate people now...
	12:11pm Moammar: I'm going to get my David Gates mourning out of the way now. Great to work ahead.

	12:11pm Hughie Considine: I'm-a want to believe he's alive (baby)
	12:12pm paul: First Russell Crowe, then Julia Roberts, and now David Gates. Do hoaxes now come in 3s?
	12:12pm rx scabin: There is nothing wrong with this song.
	12:12pm Hoboken Jack: No one is actually dead until I post it on Facebook! Harrumph.
	12:13pm Hoboken Jack: Dennis!!
	12:13pm egould: Keep the tribute. David Gates could write a #1 Hit.
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: Since I get my news pretty much only from WFMU, I end up ahead of the curve! Did you hear about the Diarrhea Lady?!
	12:13pm Squints: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:12 FInally we got a harrumph outta that guy.

	12:13pm Listener Baby: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:11 Good one!
	12:13pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "That Man" by "Peggy Lee" It's a filter track for an LP, and she wanted a writing credit. To get paid. I haven't looked at the credits on her records, but most on that era weren't written by the singer.
	12:14pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Bob @12:06 My Wayne Cochran compilation just arrived in the mail yesterday!
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: ↳ McGroovey @12:13 She wrote quite a bit
	12:15pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Squints @12:13 Hahaha

	12:19pm Moammar: Think I pulled something doing the frug right there.
	12:20pm Don in Tampere: Cool, I was just listening to this song an hour ago!

	12:23pm Bob: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:14 Jack, something new? He's sadly unreissued. I feel like there should be a great double disc, Rhino style collection. Probably a box.
	12:25pm clarke: yesss!!
	12:25pm McGroovey: I want to start a Hanging On the Telephone cover band!
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: You get that bass all wired up, McGroove?

	12:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Slurp" by "D&Z" It's like Rex came in early!
	12:28pm Dennis Diken: @Jack - hey, bub! @clarke - do tell!
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: Come on -- this is gold!
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Slurp" by "D&Z" I think I know why did didn't take off.
	12:29pm Bob: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:26 Ok, thanks. Still probably need it.
	12:29pm Listener Baby: It’s the key to feeling young.
	12:29pm clarke: @DD - i bought a whole lot of 45's and there was a steve lawrence teen side in there - i would have to dig it out to tell you the songs - they were not covers.
	12:30pm egould: I’ll join the Telephone Hangers. Guitar, bass, drums. Whatever you need.
	12:31pm the verdugo recluse: I support the slurp

	12:41pm clarke: Noir Alley 2nite: Don't Bother To Knock - good'un!! one of widmark's best.
	12:41pm P-90: I remember that MS interview with Howard Grimes, it’s totally primo
	12:42pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "96 Tears" by "Jimmy Ruffin" Just bumped my cat off my lap to jump on the comments board to say, "Man, I love this version!"
	12:42pm Gaylord Fields: Closest pronunciation to Brazilian Portuguese is bou-LAH set-CHEE, but bo-LAH set-CHAY gets you close enough.
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:33 Watched the first 3 Thin Man movies on NYE, and fell asleep during the fourth. Other than that, nada. Hoping to catch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels on PBS tonight after the show at Sultan Room. You?
	12:43pm Mailman Tom: Bola Sete played the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco in 1966!
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:42 there is a definite drop in the 4th Thin Man, as i recall. DRS - love it!! it's been a while!
	12:44pm Corey: Wow, didn't know the story of Billy Strings. He used to live in Traverse City. Remember seeing him play at a small restaurant here as a young prodigy, before the move to Nashville and stardom. Well done, Billy.
	12:44pm egould: My dad had this record. And ‘Best of Bread’.
	12:45pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:44 so great!
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:42 re-watch: Sex Drive (again!) and a holiday viewing of Dutch - which stands up well!!
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "She Don't Cry" by "Del Ashley" A sound like many early 1960s 45s - informed by Surf but resonant of GarageBands ...we had 'Competition Coupe' by TheAstronauts in the house in my toddlerhood for example...
	12:46pm clarke: also, re-watched The Fall by Tarsem (in my top 25 all time!) THEN find out it is getting it's theatrical debut on jan 19th!
	12:47pm Pax: A lot of those rumors start from YouTube.
	12:47pm Matt Clarke: ↳ Song: "Dismal Day" by "Bread" Nice one!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:46 or re-release? i don't think it ever came out in the theaters in america, but have been wrong before
	12:48pm egould: Maybe David Gates publicist/management started the rumor of his death? A cynical attempt to renew interest in his music?
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Pax @12:47 I suppose it's not always malice but also echo chambers... We're all GonzoJournalists now sportsfans...
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Dismal Day" by "Bread" push comes to shove (and it usually does) this might be my fave Bread tune.
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:45 I love the Thin Man movie that takes place in the "jazz world" and the musicians say stuff like "solid!" all the time
	12:49pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Don't Shut Me Out" by "Bread" I think a mentioned this the last time it got played, but, jeez, talk about The Great Lost Poco Song....
	12:49pm drr: Best Bread song IMO is "Down On My Knees".
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:49 i think that's the 3rd one
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:49 you also have something there!
	12:50pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:49 I like the Eddie & The Cruisers cover. I kid. Lord, I HOPE I kid.
	12:50pm egould: Almost powerpop. Needs a little more guitar?
	12:50pm drr: Movies this week: The Thin Man (!), The Little Foxes, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @12:48 I'm a very rich film producer & I need a lobotomy.
	12:51pm drr: Are there any Bread songs that don't begin with D?
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:49 dave: Little Foxes is also in my top 25!! brilliant!! huge Herbert Marshall fan!
	12:51pm drr: Squints: Eddie & The Cruisers must hold the record for Most Boom Mics In the Frame.
	12:52pm Bruce S.: David Gates ,the King of the very Mellow &0s easy listnin
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Down My Knees" by "Bread" also THIS!!!
	12:52pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:51 Yeah, the minute Herbert Marshall comes on screen it's almost like a relief. Like, finally a sane person.
	12:53pm Handy Haversack: Number One stuff, MS! Many thanks!
	12:53pm egould: Powerpop. Ok I need to listen to more Bread I guess.
	12:53pm clarke: oh man, i LOVE every role in that film. so brilliant!! what about the reporter guy - he's a voice of reason!!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: Digging this tribute. Like many young teenage hotheads in the '70s, I didn't listen to much Bread.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:52 "shut up Birdie!"
	12:54pm Bruce S.: Dreams, their for those who sleep, love is for us to keep, great song
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:49 It's the 5th one. The 2nd one is in San Fran and involves the Chinese nightclub. The 3rd one is back in NY, but involves Nora's father's estate.
	12:55pm clarke: ah yes what is the 4th one? the train??
	12:55pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:45 I like Dutch a lot. I haven't seen it in awhile though.
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great show!
	12:56pm drr: Hi Bruce S.! Thanks for dropping by. I enjoy your "Born To Run" album.
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: Great show Michael. I may be re-evaluating my stance on Bread, too.
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:55 Dutch is GREAT! there are a lot of scenes from east TN in Dutch (@DRR)
	12:56pm morphe': Thanks Mikey !!!! and all !!!
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:55 The 4th one is the racetrack, with Donna Reed. That's the one I fell asleep during.
	12:56pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Everything I Own" by "Bread" Stone cold classic.
	12:56pm Biba McLurex: @Myron and other bagel lovers—“Chelsea Bagels” on Second Ave & 43rd and, fortunately or unfortunately the corner by my office, is quite good. Challah two days a week there but I haven’t succumbed yet.
	12:57pm Bruce S.: ↳ drr @12:56 thanks it was nothing really
	12:57pm clarke: okay, i like that one, okay, too
	12:57pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:53 yes and no--he runs out in the street in his nightgown. Horace is a calming presence.
	12:57pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Everything I Own" by "Bread" Yeah, this song isn't half bad at all
	12:57pm egould: ….It’ll all be in the divorce decree… Just a lot less melodic/poetic.
	12:57pm Bob: This set is moving the needle for me a little. I've never quite been able to embrace the Bread. Like Abba, I appreciate the craftsmanship more than I love it.
	12:57pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Everything I Own" by "Bread" This is one you don't bother favoriting because DUH. I have to admit it cuts a little closer than I wish these last five years.
	12:58pm clarke: it's a nightSHIRT!!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:56 Music of the Subconscious - doesn't make one's Favorites shortlist - but you heard it & liked it (maybe when notably young) without maybe even being conscious of it - much less who it all was. Often maligned but you now what - great songs well performed & recorded.
	12:58pm clarke: i got this rope i need moved, here.
	12:59pm radioronan: Thanks Michael! Cheers y'all!
	12:59pm ?: reminded me of We Know Who You Are by Nick Cave
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael, thank you!
	1:00pm clarke: thanks, good nite!
	1:01pm McGroovey: Is it over already? [Frown]
	1:08pm egould: Smirnoff, Perrier, key lime juice, splash of maraschino cherry juice. Raise it high. Cheers everybody!!
	1:08pm egould: Smirnoff, Perrier, key lime juice, splash of maraschino cherry juice. Raise it high. Cheers everybody!!
	1:09pm egould: Smirnoff, Perrier, key lime juice, splash of maraschino cherry juice. Raise it high. Cheers everybody!!

	11:03am Squints: Who knew Delbert McClinton was in Bread?
	11:04am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Welcome To The Music" by "Bread" This has a definite "I told you before <snare-kick-snare> you can't do that" vibe.
	11:04am andy fuchs: oh hey

	11:10am Michael Shelley: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:03 TUESDAY! very excited! linktr.ee...
	11:10am Jack McGuire: David Gates producing Captain Beefheart is the proverbial head scratcher for me. Love Bread.
	11:10am Moammar: This Joe Tex side changed my life at age 12.
	11:11am McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:07 Thanks for the plug, Handy!
	11:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Show Me" by "Joe Tex" I don't dance ...you aren't seeing this...
	11:12am Bob: Good Morning
	11:12am McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:07 Hard stop at 10:00, because it turns into a disco after that or something.
	11:13am Frank In Queens: ↳ McGroovey @11:12 As they do nowadays.
	11:14am McGroovey: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:13 But Mrs McGroovey is happy, because she gets to get home before 2am on this schedule. She's not a night person.

	11:17am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:16 it's glorious here, frank! cali weather!
	11:18am myron feld: Congrats to Frank In Queens on his new weekly show, "Hard Stuff" Tuesdays at 6:00 pm Eastern on the Rock'N'Soul Stream!
	11:18am clarke: Tuesdays ar 5 (for us CST'ers) got it.
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 12 Days of Xmas til 6th Jan. which is Epiphany when the Three WiseMen finally show up. How about decorations that long ? 'Solstice' means 'Sun stands still' - so giving it a minute is reasonable. Sol Invictus !
	11:19am clarke: this oughtta wake Phat up!
	11:19am Squints: Forty-four more of those shows to go.
	11:19am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:17 Nice. It cooled off a bit up here, but not too much.
	11:19am Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @11:18 Thank you, Myron.
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Don't Ease Me In" by "Grateful Dead, The" All over after Pigpen :D ...
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:19 they's a coast sweep storm headed yer way on about friday, mehears
	11:21am drr: In my DJing days "The Golden Road To Unlimited Devotion" was the Dead track I'd play to appease the one person (my roommate) who would call in requests on my show. I think it's under two minutes.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:20 Yes, I've heard rumblings of that coming our way as well.
	11:21am phat in lincoln: Coffee, he said coffee.
	11:21am Jack McGuire: My opinion of the dead is best expressed by the MST episode where the bots perform the endless envelope follower jam. Excruciating.
	11:22am clarke: tellya what, Michael, i'm gonna let you come down here and kick my ass!!
	11:22am Listener Baby: Did you know… The saying, The Creek don’t rise has nothing to do with water?
	11:22am clarke: that would be injun's rite??
	11:23am phat in lincoln: ↳ Jack McGuire @11:21 I need to see this
	11:23am Michael Shelley: ↳ myron feld @11:18 !
	11:23am Christina Ginger: Omelette Ertegun.
	11:24am phat in lincoln: ↳ Song: "Itty Bitty Girl" by "LaVern Baker" That floor Tom!
	11:24am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:22 Right
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:23 now i'm hungry!
	11:25am Jack McGuire: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:23 Episode "The Dead Talk Back.
	11:26am clarke: @Squints - you catch Value Leaders, live, yet??
	11:26am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:26 sadly not yet
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As JesseJarnow observed - they became ThuhDead by showing up - so there's an awful lot of Dead. What's required is a guide thru that to the good bits... Another thing I consider is they gestated in the Acid Tests - not some Club like every other band in the Universe. Their approach to the Muse & even Professionalism was ...coy & circuitous. One didn't want to scare the Vibe away by being too ambitious or aggressive in that SF kinda ethic ...quite its own thing. We don't all have time for that... Then there's the matter of dealing with Deadheads themselves. Too often a pain in the backside - but sometimes intelligent electric very kewl persons.
	11:27am Dennis: My FAVORITE Dave Edmunds rekkid! Love that B-bender!!
	11:28am McGroovey: ↳ myron feld @11:18 Yet another great show on one of the streams that I'll forget to turn on. (Not you fault, Frank; totally mine.)
	11:28am phat in lincoln: ↳ Song: "Never Been In Love" by "Dave Edmunds" This is beginning to wake me up
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:27 ...smart *eclectic & kewl...
	11:29am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Baby, Frank, Christina, Greg, Handy, Sultan Bagpipe, McGroove, Clarke, everybody!
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:26 i will have to find out when they are hitting plymouth.
	11:30am clarke: JAAACK!!
	11:30am Listener Baby: Jack!
	11:30am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Water Moccasin" by "Matt Lucas" Now I have an impulse to go listen to Dave Edmunds records. But I shall resist the urge.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:29 how them resolutions goin?
	11:30am Frank In Queens: Hi Jack
	11:31am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:07 Gonna try to make it. That it's early definitely helps!
	11:35am Dennis: Re 1910 Fruitgum Co interview: is Larry the interviewee in question?
	11:37am clarke: i thought it was supposed to be juniper
	11:37am Dennis: Larry worked at the musical instrument store in Morristown where my parents bought me my first drum set
	11:38am clarke: good is fine, these days (post-saul)
	11:38am phat in lincoln: I'ma be in DC in a couple weeks. Anything I should check out? I haven't been there in like 4 years
	11:38am P-90: “a game changer in the coffee cake world”
	11:39am Michael Shelley: ↳ Dennis @11:35 yep
	11:39am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:38 you a travellin' man!!
	11:39am Erin in TO: I've seen Cleopatra Jones. It's pretty fun, but the sequel (Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold) is the better film, I think
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ P-90 @11:38 michaelshelley.net...
	11:40am Erin in TO: And I love Cleopatra Jones as a character
	11:40am common: agreed, Erin
	11:40am paul: ↳ Song: "Hurts So Good" by "Millie Jackson" Was this song really about "back door" loving?
	11:40am jimphis: Where again is this apple cake recipe found?
	11:40am geokopp: More songs about vacuums and coffee cake!
	11:40am P-90: Chime in? Cleopatra Jones is one of the essential seminal “blaxploitation” films of the early seventies. If you’re into that or want to investigate.
	11:40am Hughie Considine: Shelly Winters -- where do you start? For me, she was Ma Parker, a somewhat chilling villain on the Batman tv series. But she was indelible whenever she was onscreen. If you haven't seen her sparring with Oliver Reed on the Tonight Show, you have a treat awaiting you at youtube.
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ jimphis @11:40 michaelshelley.net...
	11:40am Bootsie: Totally worth it just for Shelley's outfits!
	11:41am Hughie Considine: Sorry, that's Shelley Winters. It's wrong to misspell Shelley on this program, I tell ya.
	11:42am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:39 Yep. LA at the end of the month, too! Well, Long Beach.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Morning, clarke!
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Jack!
	11:42am Hughie Considine: I make my own bagels because there aren't good ones down here in NYC. Honest!
	11:42am phat in lincoln: Probably no trips for a couple months then, well, not for work. I think I need to just go somewhere as a vacation kinda thing soon.
	11:43am clarke: Handrew!! sup son??
	11:43am Hughie Considine: sorry, in NC!
	11:43am clarke: you wish hugh!
	11:43am paul: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:43 Same here in SC.
	11:44am Frank In Queens: Considering I eat bagels maybe twice a year at most, it's definitely for me to buy!
	11:44am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:42 i might see u in l.a. headed there later this month for extended stay
	11:45am Hughie Considine: I have a great, reliable bagel recipe I've used 100 times. Here it is: boingboing.net...
	11:45am Handy Haversack: Doug in MP (then in JC) gave me bagels he had made, and they were pretty great. But definitely more of a time investment than I am prepared to make.
	11:45am Hughie Considine: Morning, Mr. Clarke!
	11:45am Prof. Booty: Totally agree about the bagels. I make baguettes that have completely put me off of store-bought baguettes (since I no longer live in Berkeley, where I can get Acme...) but any time I've tried bagels, I feel like the payoff is not worth the time & effort. And I'm in NJ, so it's not like good bagels are hard to find...
	11:45am Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Bagel And Lox" by "Charioteers, The" This tune could be a Slim Gaillard song
	11:45am myron feld: NYC area listeners: Utopia Bagels on FOW's favorite street, Utopia Parkway, are great. As in really great.
	11:46am clarke: mistah considine!! good day sir! I SAID GOOD DAY!!
	11:46am herb.nyc: Wnyc Scott Simon mentioned sriracha bagels earlier today. Happy new year to Michael and all.
	11:47am Hughie Considine: I trust you're well and keeping your feathers numbered, @Clarke
	11:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ myron feld @11:45 It's maybe twenty years since I've been on Utopia Parkway!
	11:47am rx scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:47am myron feld: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:47 Don't make it 21!
	11:47am clarke: rx - howdy!
	11:47am Bob: That Canadian power pop is usually top notch. Do you ever play Sloan, Michael? I'm sure you have but they don't seem to be a go-to. Great band.
	11:48am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:44 You had mentioned that. Let me know!
	11:48am Baja Joe: Hello Michael and everyone listening
	11:48am rx scabin: Hello to you, clarke.
	11:48am clarke: @Frank - is bob performing with a broken leg? @Phat - surely will.
	11:49am wenzo: Howdy
	11:49am Handy Haversack: The closest and generally pretty good bagel place to us is under new management, and the one time we got bagel sandwiches there since, they grilled them? Which ... OK, but I mean there was lettuce and mayo on mine. Gonna give them some time to settle in, I think.
	11:50am clarke: hope they cut them all the way thru.
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Jennifer Eccles" by "Strangers, The" Good job with a distinctly Hollies thing.
	11:50am Listener Baby: Turntable #1!,
	11:51am clarke: mangled sandwiches - no way to go through life, son.
	11:51am McGroovey: Now I've been informed by my daughter that I'm making pancakes and bacon for family breakfast. Yes, we're all late risers. Except Mrs McGroovey. So I'll be busy for awhile.
	11:51am clarke: Turntable #1 renounces all statements made against it.
	11:52am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:48 No, they canceled all the shows they had booked. As far as I know, nothing was announced later than the NYE show that was in IL.
	11:52am clarke: damn! well, more time to record.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Down In The Cellar" by "Marvin Rainwater" Breathing is Repetitive.
	11:53am Matt Clarke: Happy New Year, Michael! Hello all!
	11:53am myron feld: I've never held hands in a cellar. Anyone?
	11:53am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:52 look out '23!!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ myron feld @11:53 I don't wanna go down to the basement.
	11:54am clarke: i dont blame ya
	11:54am Frank In Queens: Hey Matt
	11:56am Bob: Someone should do a comp with all the variations on this dance instruction record thing.
	11:56am clarke: @Frank - is newcastle still top of the league? if so: congrats!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:56 As of today, they sit in 3rd place. But they've played 1 more game than the other Top 4 teams.
	11:57am clarke: AL!!!
	11:57am Jack McGuire: Al!
	11:57am listener phat in Lincoln: Been trying to get NRBQ to play here. An old friend apparently has an in.
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 i haven't looked at the standings because it hurts to see my team in the middle of the pack.
	11:58am Listener Baby: Tommy Tommy Tommy!
	11:58am Bob: One thing the band lost with Al's departure was this sort of slightly misogynist boys song. For better and worse. Maybe. I don't know.
	11:58am Euclid Joe: WOW, some deep Q goin' on!
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:58 who loves tommy-o??!!
	11:59am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:59 Goddamn everybody!!
	12:00pm clarke: ha ha, how goes in AA??
	12:00pm clarke: #1 STYLE hits!!
	12:01pm Euclid Joe: Has David Gates been resurrected? Can't find an obit out there.
	12:01pm Noir Lover: Loath holidays great week!
	12:02pm Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! Happy Saturday.

	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Last Night I Made A Little Girl Cry" by "Steve La... It's interesting kinda part Strings & big Production & aspiring to Beat Group Gittar oriented expression. Like one had to try to be like a small band...

	12:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Corey @12:02 Afternoon, Corey!
	12:08pm Moammar: Who's playing guitar on "Love Attack." Is that a Muscle Shoals thing?
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:06 ...yerknow one often thinks ...just a get a band & play it & record that ...but no one asks our opinion.
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Sandro @12:04 I think it IS a hoax!
	12:09pm clarke: sounds like hawkins on drooms
	12:10pm clarke: even if it's a hoax, a Gates tribute would be GREAT and well-deserved!! while someone's still alive, fer once!
	12:10pm Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:09 Weirdest thing ever to make a hoax about.
	12:10pm myron feld: ↳ Listener Baby @12:10 Right?
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Baby @12:10 Can't underestimate people now...
	12:11pm Moammar: I'm going to get my David Gates mourning out of the way now. Great to work ahead.
	12:11pm clarke: or over-estimate
	12:11pm Hughie Considine: I'm-a want to believe he's alive (baby)
	12:12pm paul: First Russell Crowe, then Julia Roberts, and now David Gates. Do hoaxes now come in 3s?
	12:12pm rx scabin: There is nothing wrong with this song.
	12:12pm Hoboken Jack: No one is actually dead until I post it on Facebook! Harrumph.
	12:13pm Hoboken Jack: Dennis!!
	12:13pm egould: Keep the tribute. David Gates could write a #1 Hit.
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: Since I get my news pretty much only from WFMU, I end up ahead of the curve! Did you hear about the Diarrhea Lady?!
	12:13pm Squints: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:12 FInally we got a harrumph outta that guy.
	12:13pm clarke: great scott!!
	12:13pm Listener Baby: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:11 Good one!
	12:13pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "That Man" by "Peggy Lee" It's a filter track for an LP, and she wanted a writing credit. To get paid. I haven't looked at the credits on her records, but most on that era weren't written by the singer.
	12:14pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Bob @12:06 My Wayne Cochran compilation just arrived in the mail yesterday!
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: ↳ McGroovey @12:13 She wrote quite a bit
	12:15pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Squints @12:13 Hahaha
	12:15pm geokopp: Bring the Rubinoos back to Monty Hall!
	12:15pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ geokopp @12:15 Bring Monty Hall back to Monty Hall!
	12:16pm McGroovey: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:15 OK. Well, that was my guess.
	12:16pm clarke: hey jack, how's that reese's thang goin'??
	12:16pm McGroovey: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:15 But I liked the song!
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:15 For reals.
	12:18pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Sticks And Stones" by "Charmaines, The With Lonni... This right here is pretty number one.
	12:19pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "Sticks And Stones" by "Charmaines, The With Lonni... I learned this song from the Joe Cocker Mad Dogs & Englishmen album.
	12:19pm Moammar: Think I pulled something doing the frug right there.
	12:20pm Don in Tampere: Cool, I was just listening to this song an hour ago!
	12:21pm rx scabin: Apparently, my cat, Hugo, likes this song. Celeste, not so much.
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sticks And Stones" by "Charmaines, The With Lonni... Gibson FlyingV patented today in 1958 : www.facebook.com...
	12:23pm Bob: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:14 Jack, something new? He's sadly unreissued. I feel like there should be a great double disc, Rhino style collection. Probably a box.
	12:25pm clarke: yesss!!
	12:25pm McGroovey: I want to start a Hanging On the Telephone cover band!
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: You get that bass all wired up, McGroove?
	12:26pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Hanging on the Telephone" by "Nerves, The ‎" Cat Power does a nice downbeat 47 second cover of this
	12:26pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Bob @12:23 No, it's from 2014, The Soul Sides 1965-70, with an interesting studio recreation of his stage show on disc 2.
	12:27pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:26 I did! It sounds great! I'm playing it tonight. I'll bring the longhorn as a backup, in case of failure.
	12:27pm Moammar: ↳ McGroovey @12:25 The Telephonic Hangers
	12:27pm clarke: always!
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Moammar @12:27 The Handset That Rocks the Cradle
	12:28pm Listener Baby: I do The Slurp every freaking day!
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Slurp" by "D&Z" It's like Rex came in early!
	12:28pm Dennis Diken: @Jack - hey, bub! @clarke - do tell!
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: Come on -- this is gold!
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Slurp" by "D&Z" I think I know why did didn't take off.
	12:29pm Bob: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:26 Ok, thanks. Still probably need it.
	12:29pm Listener Baby: It’s the key to feeling young.
	12:29pm clarke: @DD - i bought a whole lot of 45's and there was a steve lawrence teen side in there - i would have to dig it out to tell you the songs - they were not covers.
	12:30pm egould: I’ll join the Telephone Hangers. Guitar, bass, drums. Whatever you need.
	12:31pm the verdugo recluse: I support the slurp
	12:31pm Pax: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:28 If he didn't he's sure to be real jealous. The spazz too.
	12:32pm clarke: i'm slurp-friendly
	12:32pm TimSF: ↳ Song: "Long Journey Home" by "Billy Strings" DJ, I heard this on your program a few weeks ago: I love it. thanks
	12:33pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:28 Not that there's anyone wrong with that...
	12:33pm clarke: @Frank In Queens - MovieTime???
	12:34pm Squints: Ooh. A second helping of some G. G. Y.
	12:35pm Squints: ↳ Squints @12:34 Unnnh.
	12:35pm clarke: good gawd Squints!
	12:35pm Cyril's neighbor: Great show as always Michael!
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "A Place Nobody Can Find" by "Sam And Dave" Damn but STAX.
	12:37pm Listener Baby: ↳ the verdugo recluse @12:31 Slurp positive?
	12:41pm clarke: Noir Alley 2nite: Don't Bother To Knock - good'un!! one of widmark's best.
	12:41pm P-90: I remember that MS interview with Howard Grimes, it’s totally primo
	12:42pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "96 Tears" by "Jimmy Ruffin" Just bumped my cat off my lap to jump on the comments board to say, "Man, I love this version!"
	12:42pm Gaylord Fields: Closest pronunciation to Brazilian Portuguese is bou-LAH set-CHEE, but bo-LAH set-CHAY gets you close enough.
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:33 Watched the first 3 Thin Man movies on NYE, and fell asleep during the fourth. Other than that, nada. Hoping to catch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels on PBS tonight after the show at Sultan Room. You?
	12:43pm Mailman Tom: Bola Sete played the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco in 1966!
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:42 there is a definite drop in the 4th Thin Man, as i recall. DRS - love it!! it's been a while!
	12:44pm Corey: Wow, didn't know the story of Billy Strings. He used to live in Traverse City. Remember seeing him play at a small restaurant here as a young prodigy, before the move to Nashville and stardom. Well done, Billy.
	12:44pm egould: My dad had this record. And ‘Best of Bread’.
	12:45pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:44 so great!
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:42 re-watch: Sex Drive (again!) and a holiday viewing of Dutch - which stands up well!!
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "She Don't Cry" by "Del Ashley" A sound like many early 1960s 45s - informed by Surf but resonant of GarageBands ...we had 'Competition Coupe' by TheAstronauts in the house in my toddlerhood for example...
	12:46pm clarke: also, re-watched The Fall by Tarsem (in my top 25 all time!) THEN find out it is getting it's theatrical debut on jan 19th!
	12:47pm Pax: A lot of those rumors start from YouTube.
	12:47pm Matt Clarke: ↳ Song: "Dismal Day" by "Bread" Nice one!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:46 or re-release? i don't think it ever came out in the theaters in america, but have been wrong before
	12:48pm egould: Maybe David Gates publicist/management started the rumor of his death? A cynical attempt to renew interest in his music?
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Pax @12:47 I suppose it's not always malice but also echo chambers... We're all GonzoJournalists now sportsfans...
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Dismal Day" by "Bread" push comes to shove (and it usually does) this might be my fave Bread tune.
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:45 I love the Thin Man movie that takes place in the "jazz world" and the musicians say stuff like "solid!" all the time
	12:49pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Don't Shut Me Out" by "Bread" I think a mentioned this the last time it got played, but, jeez, talk about The Great Lost Poco Song....
	12:49pm drr: Best Bread song IMO is "Down On My Knees".
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:49 i think that's the 3rd one
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:49 you also have something there!
	12:50pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:49 I like the Eddie & The Cruisers cover. I kid. Lord, I HOPE I kid.
	12:50pm egould: Almost powerpop. Needs a little more guitar?
	12:50pm drr: Movies this week: The Thin Man (!), The Little Foxes, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @12:48 I'm a very rich film producer & I need a lobotomy.
	12:51pm drr: Are there any Bread songs that don't begin with D?
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:49 dave: Little Foxes is also in my top 25!! brilliant!! huge Herbert Marshall fan!
	12:51pm drr: Squints: Eddie & The Cruisers must hold the record for Most Boom Mics In the Frame.
	12:52pm Bruce S.: David Gates ,the King of the very Mellow &0s easy listnin
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Down My Knees" by "Bread" also THIS!!!
	12:52pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:51 Yeah, the minute Herbert Marshall comes on screen it's almost like a relief. Like, finally a sane person.
	12:53pm Handy Haversack: Number One stuff, MS! Many thanks!
	12:53pm egould: Powerpop. Ok I need to listen to more Bread I guess.
	12:53pm clarke: oh man, i LOVE every role in that film. so brilliant!! what about the reporter guy - he's a voice of reason!!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: Digging this tribute. Like many young teenage hotheads in the '70s, I didn't listen to much Bread.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:52 "shut up Birdie!"
	12:54pm Bruce S.: Dreams, their for those who sleep, love is for us to keep, great song
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:49 It's the 5th one. The 2nd one is in San Fran and involves the Chinese nightclub. The 3rd one is back in NY, but involves Nora's father's estate.
	12:55pm clarke: ah yes what is the 4th one? the train??
	12:55pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:45 I like Dutch a lot. I haven't seen it in awhile though.
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great show!
	12:56pm drr: Hi Bruce S.! Thanks for dropping by. I enjoy your "Born To Run" album.
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: Great show Michael. I may be re-evaluating my stance on Bread, too.
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:55 Dutch is GREAT! there are a lot of scenes from east TN in Dutch (@DRR)
	12:56pm morphe': Thanks Mikey !!!! and all !!!
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:55 The 4th one is the racetrack, with Donna Reed. That's the one I fell asleep during.
	12:56pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Everything I Own" by "Bread" Stone cold classic.
	12:56pm Biba McLurex: @Myron and other bagel lovers—“Chelsea Bagels” on Second Ave & 43rd and, fortunately or unfortunately the corner by my office, is quite good. Challah two days a week there but I haven’t succumbed yet.
	12:57pm Bruce S.: ↳ drr @12:56 thanks it was nothing really
	12:57pm clarke: okay, i like that one, okay, too
	12:57pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:53 yes and no--he runs out in the street in his nightgown. Horace is a calming presence.
	12:57pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Everything I Own" by "Bread" Yeah, this song isn't half bad at all
	12:57pm egould: ….It’ll all be in the divorce decree… Just a lot less melodic/poetic.
	12:57pm Bob: This set is moving the needle for me a little. I've never quite been able to embrace the Bread. Like Abba, I appreciate the craftsmanship more than I love it.
	12:57pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Everything I Own" by "Bread" This is one you don't bother favoriting because DUH. I have to admit it cuts a little closer than I wish these last five years.
	12:58pm clarke: it's a nightSHIRT!!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:56 Music of the Subconscious - doesn't make one's Favorites shortlist - but you heard it & liked it (maybe when notably young) without maybe even being conscious of it - much less who it all was. Often maligned but you now what - great songs well performed & recorded.
	12:58pm clarke: i got this rope i need moved, here.
	12:59pm radioronan: Thanks Michael! Cheers y'all!
	12:59pm ?: reminded me of We Know Who You Are by Nick Cave
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael, thank you!
	1:00pm clarke: thanks, good nite!
	1:01pm McGroovey: Is it over already? [Frown]
	1:08pm egould: Smirnoff, Perrier, key lime juice, splash of maraschino cherry juice. Raise it high. Cheers everybody!!
	1:08pm egould: Smirnoff, Perrier, key lime juice, splash of maraschino cherry juice. Raise it high. Cheers everybody!!
