	3:46pm efd: ↳ Ira @3:46 that was a good one!
	3:46pm BH: ↳ Song: "Take a Look at Me" by "Lyres" that pause is just barely short enough that you don't check to see if the stream is buffering
	3:47pm clarke: [mister ed nods]
	3:47pm efd: sometime around 1989 or 1990 I was visiting a friend in Somerville and we went out to brunch, where we ended up sitting with a friend of hers and that person's friend Willie. It wasn't until about halfway through the meal that I realized it was THAT Willie.
	3:47pm rx scabin: So this harmonica . . . .
	3:47pm Bruce S.: ↳ yippie @3:45 wow, glad to hear that the Fugs are performing
	3:47pm clarke: THAT willie!!
	3:48pm Chili MacPagoda: Have the show playing on my stereo, my front door is open and there’s a large Japanese Kodo drumming ensemble playing across the street. It’s all working together perfectly lol
	3:48pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Empty Heart" by "The Grateful Dead" Remove the harmonica from this

	3:49pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "Empty Heart" by "The Grateful Dead" Ira,great selection
	3:49pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @3:48 it's actually not bad, jack!
	3:49pm John L: ↳ Song: "Take a Look at Me" by "Lyres" I tore my achilles tendon while dancing at a Lyres show. I was trying to impress someone I had a crush on. If you are gonna try your 21 year old dance moves at 40 remember to stretch first. Or, in my case, give up trying to impress anyone you have a crush on.
	3:49pm franklinstower: harmonica’s allowed is pigpen’s playing it
	3:49pm DonJuanTijuana: Not into the Dead...but there are some great guitar & harmonica riffs in there
	3:49pm McMurphy: Love some Pigpen!
	3:49pm PB: I was just thinking how the Dead never ever gets played on ‘FMU.
	3:50pm Ira: Hoboken Jack, I'll grant you the harmonica's on the loud side. Hope you're not wearing headphones.
	3:50pm ?: what's the difference between a band like this, and a '90s band like smashing pumpkins
	3:50pm clarke: ↳ Ira @3:50 if Frank was here, he might complain about the level of that harp!
	3:51pm clarke: Frank ain't here.
	3:51pm Libby’s Mom: For Jerry’s birthday?
	3:52pm Bruce S.: no,I'm Frank
	3:52pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Ira @3:44 Night 7, 2008, not that I'm obsessive about these things
	3:52pm clarke: no, I'M frank!
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Empty Heart" by "The Grateful Dead" ...It's no Elevators - pretty good 1st Stones album emulation tho ! :D ...in turn Chicago Blooz &tc. ...
	3:54pm PB: The better question is why the Airplane never gets played on ‘FMU.
	3:54pm franklinstower: !!
	3:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I'm Goin' Back" by "The Sneakers" like the bad guitar on this
	3:56pm clarke: the other sneakers
	3:57pm clarke: a cossack in hiding
	3:58pm Kotzwinkled: Van Dyke Parks produced the Rick Moranis country album. I know we all know that, I just have to say it here.
	3:58pm Faith: I think my first exposure to Van Dyke Parks was the song 'Worthless' from the children's movie Brave Little Toaster. Still listen to it years later.
	3:59pm John L: ↳ PB @3:54 I just checked the WFMU search engine and they have gotten some airplay this year. Last year, on 12/25, I heard a band do a killer version of 3/5 of a Mile In 10 Seconds.
	4:00pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Van Dyke Parks" by "Chris Stamey" That was a lot of fun. Did he name drop the Red Clay Ramblers in there?
	4:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hey what about the Charlatans (SF) & Quicksilver Messenger Device...
	4:01pm John L: ↳ Song: "Wonderful" by "Outrageous Cherry" I found this CD in a dollar bin, years ago, in a local record store. Not only did it turn me into a massive Outrageous Cherry fan but it forced me to dive into the Beach Boys. I'm ashamed to admit I never heard the original until I was in my 30s.
	4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *SERVICE ...Device ! Damn machines...
	4:02pm clarke: ↳ John L @4:01 nevah too late!
	4:04pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:02 your waitress will be with you in a moment!!
	4:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @4:04 - she's - yerknow - a Quicksilver girl...
	4:05pm clarke: thenk yawwww!!
	4:06pm PB: And Moby Grape for that matter
	4:06pm STP: REALY enjoying ur show bro
	4:07pm efd: ↳ Song: "You Just Don't Wanna Know" by "Jules and the Pola... only the second time Jules & the Polar Bears have been played on WFMU in the playlist era!
	4:07pm clarke: ↳ efd @4:07 kidding right?
	4:08pm DG: ↳ Kotzwinkled @3:58 That album (The Agoraphobic Cowboy) was produced by Tony Scherr. I don't think VDP is even on it.
	4:08pm efd: ↳ clarke @4:07 would I kid about something like that?
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "You Just Don't Wanna Know" by "Jules and the Pola... Thot for sure Daryll Hall...
	4:08pm John L: ↳ clarke @4:02 That Outrageous Cherry cd, Stereo Action Rent Party, turned me on to a few songs I had never heard before, including ones by Scott Walker and Incredible String Band.
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ PB @4:06 That's right.
	4:08pm clarke: ↳ efd @4:08 wouldja??
	4:09pm DG: Moranis has another album of Jewish-themed songs (all originals), "My Mother's Brisket," which is pretty funny too.
	4:09pm Vanessa bikes: ↳ Song: "You Just Don't Wanna Know" by "Jules and the Pola... I love Polar Bears but I only looked because I like this song and it made me laugh
	4:10pm HyperDose: Nice to have you back, Ira
	4:10pm clarke: ↳ John L @4:08 is it all covers??
	4:10pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "I Wish I Were in Love Again" by "Tony Bennett" Distinctive phrasing, impeccable timing, a treasure. Absolutely digging this 👍
	4:10pm John L: ↳ clarke @4:10 Yep.
	4:11pm clarke: ↳ John L @4:10 that's probably why i never got it.
	4:12pm John L: ↳ clarke @4:11 They also do a lovely version of Televsion's Days.
	4:12pm clarke: i am not so big on covers.
	4:13pm clarke: (used to be a lot more into them, tho)
	4:14pm clarke: was this recorded over a landline?
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think of TonyBennett as like Sinatra + (♌︎Leo) Warmth. Not to dis Frankie ...just sayin'...
	4:15pm Ira: Clarke, if you don't like covers, might be a good time to go get some pretzels.
	4:15pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Cherry Bomb" by "Superstickman1" 💣
	4:16pm clarke: ha ha ha - i actually have to take a friend to the airport... courage!!
	4:16pm clarke: but, i think this aiport has pretzels!!
	4:17pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @4:14 if so, i need that phone number! sounds awesome!
	4:17pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @4:17 i think they have your number!
	4:18pm DonJuanTijuana: Im secretly in love with julie cafritz
	4:18pm clarke: not so secretly, huh?
	4:18pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" by "Free Kitten" It can only go downhill from here. Not to be topped.
	4:19pm John L: ↳ Song: "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" by "Free Kitten" I had the volume up a little too high and this startled a customer.
	4:19pm clarke: it has been real fun real fun!! will have to hit the archives later.
	4:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" by "Free Kitten" i heart that free kitten!
	4:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Hoboken Jack @3:52 I'm sort of obsessed w/ dates (the historian in me). give me enough time, and I can usually get you the date of most shows I've been to...
	4:21pm John L: ↳ Song: "Sock It to Me" by "Roland Alphonso & The Beverley... So nice you played it twice?
	4:22pm rx scabin: Very nice.
	4:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Bruce S. @3:34 you're correct, it was donald o'conner! (frances joins the WACS [1954]) (had to look it up). Reagan did seem plausible!
	4:24pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Sock It to Me" by "Roland Alphonso & The Beverley... Love this. Thee Beverley’s All Stars were incredible backing up Roland and Don Drummond on a number of sessions, dig it 👍
	4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ clarke @3:32 unfortunately, not in the official release, but it's head canon to me now!
	4:27pm Mare: Yummy music !!! Thanks for the sounds!!
	4:29pm northguineahills: i was just about to say, 'tough season to be a mets fan'? hahaha. Go Mets!
	4:30pm franklinstower: hell ya
	4:31pm tom tom the pipers son: talk of trading pete alonso...eek
	4:31pm georgia: I like that empty heart too. and you could play r. alphonso for the next hour and I wouldn't mind! This mj lenderman is cool so onward!
	4:32pm BH: the one bit of good timing for the Royals this season involved getting to face the Mets after the trade deadline, pretty much the entire season before last Friday was bad, but the Royals record is currently correcting itself towards a less bad kind of bad
	4:33pm georgia: Can't miss with this Last 45!
	4:35pm Helical nofall: Last is doing it for me
	4:37pm soho: Trade Pete for controllable pitching, Parada at 1B in 2025. do it!
	4:38pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "My Life" by "Thor's Hammer" Volume is maxing out for this stomper
	4:38pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @4:15 i thought I found the secret to faving an episode before you, by listening to a set live when you're not here (evidently I didn't see you were here until I faved it). so, foiled again!😊
	4:42pm chresti: ↳ northguineahills @4:38 I fav a show if I'm listening, and to remind me later that I was here. Kind of like signing the guest book.
	4:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Kingdom of Love" by "Kimberly Rew and Lee Cave-Be... SoftBoys ...Men by now I suppose...
	4:43pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @4:42 I used just do it just for at least one song, then clicky creep ensued, so, there went that idea...(i try to be more miserly w/ my episode faves)
	4:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:43 good catch!
	4:47pm WTFChuck: I had no idea the Bangles did this. Cool!!
	4:47pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Open My Eyes" by "The Bangles" Their harmonies put this over thee top, ace cover 👍👍

	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Open My Eyes" by "The Bangles" Sing a bit do the Bangles.
	4:48pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Open My Eyes" by "The Bangles" Loving these vocal harmonies. Don't know the original, who did it?
	4:48pm StuartR: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @4:47 Me neither
	4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Chris Hiatt @4:48 The Nazz - Todd Rundgren's early band from Philadelphia.

	5:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Ira @5:04 I hadn't heard yet!
	5:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Ira @5:04 Well that's a shame. I hope everything is ok.
	5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Town Without Pity 2" by "Coffin Prick" Reminding me of 'No One Compares to You' - for some reason...
	5:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:02 not that there's anything wrong w/ that...
	5:09pm Mr. Corey LLC: Thanks for the fill-in show today. Always a treat to have you on, Ira.

	5:17pm georgia: Nice segue
	5:17pm BH: just witnessed the amusing sequence of a litterbox being cleaned out and then a cat immediately showing up to use that litterbox, timing is everything
	5:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Suave and Debonair" by "Paul Reubens & John Paragon" somehow had never heard this to my knowledge..
	5:19pm georgia: BH: yeah, they know what they're doing. Cats
	5:20pm BH: ↳ BH @5:17 litterbox is probably two words and not one
	5:20pm northguineahills: ↳ BH @5:20 especially if it's a letter box...
	5:21pm Marshall Stacks: ↳ Song: "Peewee" by "Christmas" I was just listening to this in the car the other day. Probably the best song about Peewee Herman ever.
	5:21pm Annette: ↳ Song: "Deep in the Jungle (Part II)" by "Lincoln Chase w... Murray the k 🔥
	5:21pm Chili MacPagoda: Speaking of the Gong Show, there’s nothing like Thee Machine and Chuckie Baby to cheer the spirits: youtu.be...
	5:22pm tom tom the pipers son: a favorite pavement
	5:22pm BH: ↳ northguineahills @5:20 it could be a felony in some situations to let the cats do business in the letterbox, in the spirit of felonies involving mail theft
	5:26pm tom tom the pipers son: thought this was "oh happy day"
	5:26pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "If You Got Love" by "Neil Young" Now that's a harmonica!
	5:27pm Daniel Donuts: Box elder <3
	5:27pm northguineahills: ↳ BH @5:22 what about letter trade?

	5:36pm radioronan: Late response -went to Nuggets nyc. Had friends that also went to LA and other friends that went to /played SF. Consensus seems to be west coast shows were better.

	5:37pm spodiodi: yo Jack!how goes?

	3:46pm BH: ↳ Song: "Take a Look at Me" by "Lyres" that pause is just barely short enough that you don't check to see if the stream is buffering
	3:47pm clarke: [mister ed nods]
	3:47pm efd: sometime around 1989 or 1990 I was visiting a friend in Somerville and we went out to brunch, where we ended up sitting with a friend of hers and that person's friend Willie. It wasn't until about halfway through the meal that I realized it was THAT Willie.

	3:49pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @3:48 it's actually not bad, jack!
	3:49pm John L: ↳ Song: "Take a Look at Me" by "Lyres" I tore my achilles tendon while dancing at a Lyres show. I was trying to impress someone I had a crush on. If you are gonna try your 21 year old dance moves at 40 remember to stretch first. Or, in my case, give up trying to impress anyone you have a crush on.
	3:49pm franklinstower: harmonica’s allowed is pigpen’s playing it
	3:49pm DonJuanTijuana: Not into the Dead...but there are some great guitar & harmonica riffs in there
	3:49pm McMurphy: Love some Pigpen!
	3:49pm PB: I was just thinking how the Dead never ever gets played on ‘FMU.
	3:50pm Ira: Hoboken Jack, I'll grant you the harmonica's on the loud side. Hope you're not wearing headphones.
	3:50pm ?: what's the difference between a band like this, and a '90s band like smashing pumpkins

	3:51pm clarke: Frank ain't here.

	3:52pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Ira @3:44 Night 7, 2008, not that I'm obsessive about these things
	3:52pm clarke: no, I'M frank!
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Empty Heart" by "The Grateful Dead" ...It's no Elevators - pretty good 1st Stones album emulation tho ! :D ...in turn Chicago Blooz &tc. ...
	3:54pm PB: The better question is why the Airplane never gets played on ‘FMU.
	3:54pm franklinstower: !!
	3:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I'm Goin' Back" by "The Sneakers" like the bad guitar on this
	3:56pm clarke: the other sneakers
	3:57pm clarke: a cossack in hiding
	3:58pm Kotzwinkled: Van Dyke Parks produced the Rick Moranis country album. I know we all know that, I just have to say it here.
	3:58pm Faith: I think my first exposure to Van Dyke Parks was the song 'Worthless' from the children's movie Brave Little Toaster. Still listen to it years later.
	3:59pm John L: ↳ PB @3:54 I just checked the WFMU search engine and they have gotten some airplay this year. Last year, on 12/25, I heard a band do a killer version of 3/5 of a Mile In 10 Seconds.
	4:00pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Van Dyke Parks" by "Chris Stamey" That was a lot of fun. Did he name drop the Red Clay Ramblers in there?
	4:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hey what about the Charlatans (SF) & Quicksilver Messenger Device...
	4:01pm John L: ↳ Song: "Wonderful" by "Outrageous Cherry" I found this CD in a dollar bin, years ago, in a local record store. Not only did it turn me into a massive Outrageous Cherry fan but it forced me to dive into the Beach Boys. I'm ashamed to admit I never heard the original until I was in my 30s.
	4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *SERVICE ...Device ! Damn machines...
	4:02pm clarke: ↳ John L @4:01 nevah too late!
	4:04pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:02 your waitress will be with you in a moment!!
	4:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @4:04 - she's - yerknow - a Quicksilver girl...

	4:07pm efd: ↳ Song: "You Just Don't Wanna Know" by "Jules and the Pola... only the second time Jules & the Polar Bears have been played on WFMU in the playlist era!
	4:07pm clarke: ↳ efd @4:07 kidding right?
	4:08pm DG: ↳ Kotzwinkled @3:58 That album (The Agoraphobic Cowboy) was produced by Tony Scherr. I don't think VDP is even on it.
	4:08pm efd: ↳ clarke @4:07 would I kid about something like that?
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "You Just Don't Wanna Know" by "Jules and the Pola... Thot for sure Daryll Hall...
	4:08pm John L: ↳ clarke @4:02 That Outrageous Cherry cd, Stereo Action Rent Party, turned me on to a few songs I had never heard before, including ones by Scott Walker and Incredible String Band.
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ PB @4:06 That's right.
	4:08pm clarke: ↳ efd @4:08 wouldja??
	4:09pm DG: Moranis has another album of Jewish-themed songs (all originals), "My Mother's Brisket," which is pretty funny too.
	4:09pm Vanessa bikes: ↳ Song: "You Just Don't Wanna Know" by "Jules and the Pola... I love Polar Bears but I only looked because I like this song and it made me laugh
	4:10pm HyperDose: Nice to have you back, Ira
	4:10pm clarke: ↳ John L @4:08 is it all covers??
	4:10pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "I Wish I Were in Love Again" by "Tony Bennett" Distinctive phrasing, impeccable timing, a treasure. Absolutely digging this 👍
	4:10pm John L: ↳ clarke @4:10 Yep.
	4:11pm clarke: ↳ John L @4:10 that's probably why i never got it.
	4:12pm John L: ↳ clarke @4:11 They also do a lovely version of Televsion's Days.
	4:12pm clarke: i am not so big on covers.
	4:13pm clarke: (used to be a lot more into them, tho)
	4:14pm clarke: was this recorded over a landline?
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think of TonyBennett as like Sinatra + (♌︎Leo) Warmth. Not to dis Frankie ...just sayin'...
	4:15pm Ira: Clarke, if you don't like covers, might be a good time to go get some pretzels.
	4:15pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Cherry Bomb" by "Superstickman1" 💣
	4:16pm clarke: ha ha ha - i actually have to take a friend to the airport... courage!!
	4:16pm clarke: but, i think this aiport has pretzels!!
	4:17pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @4:14 if so, i need that phone number! sounds awesome!

	4:18pm DonJuanTijuana: Im secretly in love with julie cafritz
	4:18pm clarke: not so secretly, huh?
	4:18pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" by "Free Kitten" It can only go downhill from here. Not to be topped.
	4:19pm John L: ↳ Song: "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" by "Free Kitten" I had the volume up a little too high and this startled a customer.
	4:19pm clarke: it has been real fun real fun!! will have to hit the archives later.
	4:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" by "Free Kitten" i heart that free kitten!
	4:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Hoboken Jack @3:52 I'm sort of obsessed w/ dates (the historian in me). give me enough time, and I can usually get you the date of most shows I've been to...
	4:21pm John L: ↳ Song: "Sock It to Me" by "Roland Alphonso & The Beverley... So nice you played it twice?
	4:22pm rx scabin: Very nice.
	4:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Bruce S. @3:34 you're correct, it was donald o'conner! (frances joins the WACS [1954]) (had to look it up). Reagan did seem plausible!
	4:24pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Sock It to Me" by "Roland Alphonso & The Beverley... Love this. Thee Beverley’s All Stars were incredible backing up Roland and Don Drummond on a number of sessions, dig it 👍
	4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ clarke @3:32 unfortunately, not in the official release, but it's head canon to me now!
	4:27pm Mare: Yummy music !!! Thanks for the sounds!!
	4:29pm northguineahills: i was just about to say, 'tough season to be a mets fan'? hahaha. Go Mets!
	4:30pm franklinstower: hell ya
	4:31pm tom tom the pipers son: talk of trading pete alonso...eek
	4:31pm georgia: I like that empty heart too. and you could play r. alphonso for the next hour and I wouldn't mind! This mj lenderman is cool so onward!
	4:32pm BH: the one bit of good timing for the Royals this season involved getting to face the Mets after the trade deadline, pretty much the entire season before last Friday was bad, but the Royals record is currently correcting itself towards a less bad kind of bad
	4:33pm georgia: Can't miss with this Last 45!
	4:35pm Helical nofall: Last is doing it for me
	4:37pm soho: Trade Pete for controllable pitching, Parada at 1B in 2025. do it!
	4:38pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "My Life" by "Thor's Hammer" Volume is maxing out for this stomper
	4:38pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @4:15 i thought I found the secret to faving an episode before you, by listening to a set live when you're not here (evidently I didn't see you were here until I faved it). so, foiled again!😊
