	11:12am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Baby @11:03 They went to Parsons college in Fairfield Iowa (it's where they met, in the choir) in the 50s. The president of the college, after they graduated, was an idiot apparently. He drove it into the ground and it went bankrupt. The Maharishi bought the campus to start his university. They say one of the reasons is because there's a building with a golden dome which would be perfect for levitation.
	11:12am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Good morning Michael!
	11:13am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:12 so he was a 13th Floor Elevators fan
	11:14am clarke: (and racially cool).
	11:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:11 Store didn't work. Seemed like it would then just returned to the input screen but with a confusing shipping error?
	11:15am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:09 if it's any help, two of my local shops mentioned having the first three in stock yesterday. joseyrecords does mail order too, if you can't get tom's official store to work.
	11:15am Crei6hton: Morning WFMU

	11:16am gf2002: Mike Love wishes he had written the lyrics to the Maharishi song, as someone who actually did give flowers to him. Levitation is where it's AT. And flowers, and incessant giggling.
	11:16am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:15 arrrgh!
	11:16am Panther: The King at his Motown best
	11:17am Chris Hiatt: Good Morning, folks!
	11:18am clarke: ↳ Song: "(Would You Believe) It's Raining Flowers In My Ho... envelope filter workin' overtime.
	11:19am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:15 Will try that right now! Hoping it's a problem with the store and not a "helpful" "fraud" alert with the card.
	11:19am clarke: levels a bit low, here.
	11:20am gf2002: ↳ Song: "(Would You Believe) It's Raining Flowers In My Ho... Vinnie Bell would be proud to hear that guitar
	11:20am myron feld: ↳ Song: "(Would You Believe) It's Raining Flowers In My Ho... the Sidewalk Skipper Band are on at least one of the "Book A Trip" compilations, comprised of sunshine psych pop from Capitol Records -- great collections
	11:20am Listener Baby: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:12 I’m working on the made for TV movie, Phat. But why couldn’t he have opened a music venue?
	11:20am bobobob plasticland milw: I'm from Milwaukee had the band Plasticland in the 80s but I do remember the name Sidewalk Skipper band when I was a lil boy. too young to see them
	11:21am bobobob: WOKY 920 AM
	11:21am egould: I’m jogging. I’m hanks Michael!
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Song: "Mare, Take Me Home" by "Wildweeds, The" yass!!!

	11:23am Michael Shelley: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:05 SO sorry I couldnt make it!
	11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Baby @11:20 Lol. They get good shows in Eastern Iowa!
	11:24am gf2002: The Sidewalk Skipper Band did not look like that record sounds, if that makes sense.
	11:25am nycmusicnerd: Michael--After the show the guys were standing around chatting with folks. I walked right up to Greg & said, "I'm Cheryl, and I'm your nerd." "CHERYL!!" He knew immediately who I was. :)
	11:25am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie" by "Richard Berry" Where it all began...
	11:25am Bob: Good morning, folks
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie" by "Richard Berry" yep. i'm the original.
	11:26am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie" by "Richard Berry" Not only did I get to see Richard Berry, I engineered a show by him. Just sayin’
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:26 but how was your gain structure??
	11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: That Tim reissue is fantastic!
	11:27am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie" by "Richard Berry" So which came first, Louie Louie or Havana Moon?
	11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:16 "Your order has been successfully placed! A confirmation has been sent to [HANDY]"! Go, Josey, go!
	11:27am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:26 Hopefully perfect!
	11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Baby @11:26 Damn
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:27 i would guess havana moon.
	11:27am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Oh Happy Day" by "Som Tres" This was a great cut, the only one I knew previously was the Quincy Jones version.
	11:28am ?: These are the most cogent Louie Louie lyrics I have ever heard.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:27 why did louie have to go??
	11:28am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:27 Both came out in '57, so it's close!
	11:28am Michael Shelley: REPLACEMENTS DOC Rhino.lnk.to...
	11:28am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:28 too much coffee
	11:28am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:28 To get to the other side.
	11:29am listener phat in Lincoln: Definitely. The remix is REALLY different. And it's so, so good. If a remix could be album of the year...
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:28 to get chicken.
	11:29am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 woot!
	11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: The guitars are crunchy!
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:28 hah!!
	11:30am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Kiss Me On The Bus" by "Replacements, The" ah, high school...
	11:30am Kotzwinkled: Getting an error that the mini doc is a private video. Maybe just me!
	11:30am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Kiss Me On The Bus" by "Replacements, The" the newly heard kick drum!
	11:30am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:29 Or just too much beer. It happens to the best of us.
	11:30am jmd: Dang it. The video is private.
	11:30am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:23 ALL ARE AWESOME!
	11:30am evancuts: DeCamp RIP
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:30 not to frank!
	11:31am Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @11:30 It certainly sounds fuller
	11:31am Greg g: Just telling myself I don’t need anymore records… may have to make an exception for remixed Mats
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: I never quite realized how much I hated that original mix.
	11:32am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:31 Not true. I just don't talk about those instances!
	11:32am Eddy in Australia: I had the same problem with the Mats video yesterday. Anyone know of a workaround?
	11:32am bd: i’ve listened to tim a zillion times over the decades. I cant tell a damn bit of difference.
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: Just poorly compressed drums and crappy reverb.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:32 or the too much coffee incidents.
	11:33am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:32 See, now that NEVER happens. I hate coffee!
	11:33am johnk77: the let it bleed edition of tim is on apple music and probably other places
	11:33am Pedro in Arlington: Very Mats to have a new promotional video on YouTube set to private.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:33 me, too. well, hate is a strong word. i like the smell of it. just don't drink it.
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:33 Truth
	11:34am nycmusicnerd: I can't do coffee either. It's like chugging battery acid.
	11:34am PB: Obsessing over The Replacements? Let’s face it, they were never very good.
	11:34am Greg from ZONE 5: Was it Obal's? If it wasn't Obal's, next time make it Obal's.
	11:35am clarke: here we go, again.
	11:35am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:33 Yeah, you're right. But I used to hate the smell too! I figure I might actually like the taste of it when i'm around 80 or so
	11:35am clarke: myth-believing.
	11:35am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael and everybody! On my way for Freedy et al, moved indoors.
	11:35am Jeff formerly from Rahway: ↳ Song: "Expert in a Dying Field (demo)" by "Beths, The" This record is great. HIFI VOLUME RAISED.
	11:35am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:33 Yeah. Same way. Don't mind the smell at all. Can't imagine ingesting. Still a caffeine slave. Diet colas. Weird thing, my parents both took theirs black with sugar. Beautiful bride uses cream. Again, can't imagine that making it better.
	11:35am Michael Shelley: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:34 It was!
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:35 or: nah!
	11:36am Jeff formerly from Rahway: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:35 I hope you are dressed sharply, Jack.
	11:36am Frank In Queens: ↳ Squints @11:35 Tea for me! Already up to cup #3 this morning
	11:36am Michael Shelley: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:34 There was a car with WFMU bumper sticker in the lot - must belong to a staffer
	11:37am prof.fuzz: yo jack!
	11:37am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:35 was that on Happy Days when someone puts sugar in a bottle of coke??
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack.
	11:38am bobobob plasticland: when Shirley Manson was living in Madison Wisconsin..recording w Garbage..she was freaked out by cheese curds but liked them I cuerdcurd
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:35 jaaack!!
	11:38am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Expert in a Dying Field (demo)" by "Beths, The" I love this tune. I don't know why but I find it haunting.
	11:38am Officer Pupp: Love this Beths track.
	11:38am Geoffrey in Ottawa: A Montreal must that I forgot to mention last week: Jean Talon Market. Don't miss it. Also, it occurred to me later that you are pretty much a vegetarian so likely won't be visiting my recommended spots. But the Market will be a find as will the Fairmount bagels another listener recommended (although some swear by St. Viateur bagels, so maybe a taste test is in order).
	11:38am prof.fuzz: ↳ bobobob plasticland @11:38 madison cheese curds can be intense...
	11:39am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:37 Can't remember. My mom would buy Tab or Diet Pepsi. This was before I'd weaned myself from the sugared sodeas. I'd pour a glass and add sugar. But I'm feeling muuuuuch better now.
	11:39am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Expert in a Dying Field (demo)" by "Beths, The" story of my life
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:39 dang!
	11:40am bobobob: hey Fuzzzz !!!
	11:40am prof.fuzz: ↳ bobobob @11:40 hey bobobobobobobob
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go (at the BBC)" by "Honeybus" oh very YES!!
	11:40am Squints: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:38 If you're dancing the Madison while eating them, sure.
	11:40am nycmusicnerd: It was Laverne & Shirley. Laverne liked to drink milk & Pepsi.
	11:41am prof.fuzz: ↳ bobobob plasticland @11:38 i really miss the sentry grocery store memorial day and labor day brat tent...
	11:41am Frew: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go (at the BBC)" by "Honeybus" I think their manager ran away with all the profits from this song, or something.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:40 but, i never watched laverne and shirley, so must've been predecded by potsie webber.
	11:41am prof.fuzz: ↳ Squints @11:40 when am i ever not???
	11:42am Michael Shelley: ↳ Bob Barth @11:38 yes!
	11:42am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:41 -preceded.
	11:42am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go (at the BBC)" by "Honeybus" I would think sometimes, if a band went into the BBC to record, it was a better studio than the one the song was originally done in. Sometimes.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:42 i wonder if they hired an oboe'ist??
	11:44am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:43 I think he just happened to be there.
	11:44am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:44 maybe it was brian matthew.
	11:45am Listener Baby: ↳ Listener Baby @11:44 Oboe playing janitor
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Song: "Joe The Singing Janitor" by "Junior Brown" Love Junior.
	11:46am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:43 I think over there they say "a" [uh] oboe'ist.
	11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: "out of his mind" is accurate
	11:46am Bob: Junior Brown definitely looks crazy in the eyes
	11:47am Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:40 I'm guessing Dr Feelgodd had no use for Laverne.
	11:47am clarke: they probably say oboe player.
	11:47am Chris Hiatt: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:46 Yeah, what a sick live show. Whoa...
	11:47am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:47 Yep
	11:47am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:36 That was my second home when I lived around the corner and is still one of my favorite places in the world. Also in that neighborhood at different times: Bryce, Donna, Wm. Berger & R. Stevie Moore!
	11:48am Bob: Didn’t Nick Lowe have something to do with Junior getting signed?
	11:48am Squints: Dang. Second time today we say G. G. Y.
	11:48am clarke: hello bob.
	11:49am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:48 Hey, Clarke.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Joe The Singing Janitor" by "Junior Brown" + Good to hear JuniorBrown +
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Song: "Soul Heart Transplant" by "Ebony Rhythm Band" they changed their name to just the Rhythm Band, after this.
	11:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "16 Toneladas" by "Noriel Vilela" Well this is just great.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Song: "16 Toneladas" by "Noriel Vilela" vince gilligan taking notes.
	11:52am Bob: This is kinda better than the original
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies" so yes.
	11:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies" A surprisingly fun karaoke song!
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "16 Toneladas" by "Noriel Vilela" ...when we need a tack to transition from ErnieFord to the Bump Step...
	11:52am Bob: Didn’t see this coming
	11:53am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies" Man, the Pixies were so good before they became a Pixies cover band.
	11:53am Jimmy Wipper: We played in a bar in Spain called 16 Toneladas.
	11:53am clarke: anda lucia
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @11:53 das Wippah!!! hay!
	11:53am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies" Is this another first, Baby?
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:52 t*Rack
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @11:53 how it is on Uzzle Skreet??
	11:54am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies" Dave Lovering is a highly underrated drummer.
	11:54am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies" Why does this sound weird?
	11:54am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:54 Not in this house
	11:54am Bob: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:54 And a real weirdo
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:53 [as DaffyDuck] ...it's a living...
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Baby @11:53 Looks like it: wfmu.org...
	11:54am Jeff formerly from Rahway: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:53 Hahahah I'm gonna remember that one.
	11:54am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies" This is a perfect Monday morning going to work song.
	11:55am Joey C: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies" Wonderful tune selection
	11:56am Jimmy Wipper: Double shots all over Uzzle Street, Clarke!
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @11:56 guzzle!!
	11:56am Bob Barth: Morning Pizza is for dirtbags... close to noon... I'll let it pass.
	11:57am Hoboken Jack: Did someone mention pizza
	11:57am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob Barth @11:56 Proud dirtbag here
	11:58am goes211: You are describing a “flexitarian”, Michael. I count myself as one.
	11:58am clarke: pizza?? haaaayyyyyy!!
	11:58am Bob Barth: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:57 So is my wife.
	11:59am Larry 7: They do a great cover/interpretation of the Batman theme.
	11:59am drr: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:54 There's a podcast called "Life Of The Record" that does a dep dive into a classic record with thoughts from the people who made it. The one on Surfer Rosa, they interview Lovering, Joey Santiago, and Steve Albini--it's really interesting. Lovering's take is great, he was not, like, an 'indie' guy, he was a Rush fan.
	11:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ drr @11:59 Who isn't?!
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ drr @11:59 mornin' dave!! will have to listen to dat.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:59 i isn't. some songs, tho.
	12:00pm Handy Haversack: Nice one, Andre!
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:59 main problem for me: they always seem to sneak a reggae part into it.
	12:02pm steveo: Noon on Saturday! Could any time be more fun?!
	12:03pm Handy Haversack: Rex, time to go out and bring back some cold foamers.
	12:05pm clarke: dirtbag foamers.
	12:05pm Pedro in Arlington: One day in our shared bright future, deejays will be able to stream pizza slices to their glisteners.
	12:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:05 Another oat soda, Gary.
	12:06pm HM: Why does the beer have to wait? Chug-a-lug!
	12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ☕️☠️I'ma Toast Thee All wit duh DeathWish Coffeez☠️☕️ Btw.
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:06 why so many cuss words?
	12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:05 - could be Printed. Yerknow.
	12:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:07 Friends like these, huh, Gary?
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:08 gary was The Man!
	12:08pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: White, middle-aged indie rock fans love to discuss baseball almost as much as they do music.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @12:08 i don't wanna discuss it, today - my team got beat last night in the stupidest way.
	12:10pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @12:08 The Baseball Project new album and tour are a grand slam.
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:09 Baseball is over for me. Hockey starts next week. Pre-season anyway...
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:10 i'm dead to you!!
	12:11pm StringOFperils: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @12:08 Indie rock: A lot of garbage kited out to left field, but the occasional home-run.
	12:11pm Squints: ↳ HM @12:06 Makes ya wanna say hi-dee-ho.
	12:12pm Chris Hiatt: Main Drag is cool, it's a very live and bright room. I don't I would want to see metal there, for instance.
	12:12pm steveo: My favorite team was in the world series last year it was terrible I had to stay up past midnight and everything. Haven't paid a single bit of attention to it this year.
	12:12pm myron feld: Cher does the best version of "I Go To Sleep" ever give.
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:11 You'll get over it
	12:13pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:12 Probably amazing for intimate singer songwriter types. I saw some experimental jazz there which was nice. They had cold foamers too.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:13 it was you, fredo.
	12:13pm Squints: ↳ steveo @12:12 I love it when the Sox go deep into Octobah, but the late nights are a grind. As glorious as 2004 was, by the end, it was a death march.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:13 you won't have that "problem" this year!
	12:16pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Want To Know" by "Wayne Raney" Is this one on the list, Baby?
	12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Our Day Will Come" by "Cher" She sure can Sing. But that not the best match of Song or Arrangement for her. I mean ...I hoird woirse ...just a bit perfunctory (which does not imply Musics as bumpin' as the word perhaps sounds like)...
	12:17pm clarke: number 9 number 9 number 9
	12:18pm myron feld: ↳ Squints @12:13 Squints, i was at Yankee Stadium in '04 for Game 7 of the ALCS. My son was a huge Sox fan and was in full Rose Hose regalia. Some interesting fan interactions that evening.
	12:19pm MJ: who is singing lead vocal?
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ myron feld @12:18 as an O's fan, i can agree.
	12:21pm Bob: I like this TF but I’m having a tough time with the loss of Gerry. It’s just lesser
	12:21pm StringOFperils: Maybe Les Hou-Lops is word play for Les Sous L'Eau.(beneath water). Just a guess. It looks like nonsense, either way.
	12:21pm Squints: ↳ myron feld @12:18 One of my favorite t-shirts this century was "Got Rings Lately?"
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:21 while i might tend to agree, the lesser is still better than most.
	12:22pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:14 Hockey's going to be "meh," too. Broons will mean-revert.
	12:22pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Why Can't You Be" by "Shelby Lynne" Great album
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ myron feld @12:18 I was there for game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:22 i don't know from hockey.
	12:23pm rw: Michael Jackson and other weird people
	12:23pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:22 No doubt. One of the best guitar bands ever. But still, Gerry’s songs were the most soaring and majestic
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:23 again, i tend to agree.
	12:24pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Why Can't You Be" by "Shelby Lynne" I sort had forgotten about this album. It's really good and I had it on heavy rotation when it came out.
	12:24pm Michael Shelley: ↳ MJ @12:19 Norman, I'd guess
	12:24pm Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:16 Smokey sounded great with no perfunction.
	12:25pm Bob: Has anyone mentioned the new NRBQ loft sessions release? It sounds AMAZING. Some really great moments on there. The engineer in that thing just nailed it.
	12:25pm Joli Gee: Hey we were at the bar in Obal's last night. Are you the one who played "Last Dance" by Donna Summer?
	12:26pm StringOFperils: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:24 Saw her play this whole album at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto....speaking of Rick Hall, it was FAME-esque
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Joli Gee @12:25 that was Rex.
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Joli Gee @12:25 No. Was there around 4:30 - 6:30. It was quite quiet (o jukebox) till around 6.
	12:27pm Bob: Can you ask Eric why Elvis hates him so much?
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: ↳ StringOFperils @12:26 Lucky you. I played Horseshoe opening for Shonen Knife - cool place, but the exchange rate was a killer.
	12:29pm StringOFperils: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:28 Wow, cool Michael! *I know, cross-border economics are not kind :(
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Wreckless Eric" kudos, suh.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Wreckless Eric" This guy!
	12:31pm clarke: my ears don't see so good.
	12:32pm egould: Back from my jog. Excellent soundtrack, Michael. Epic. Ran 3.5 miles to a series of staircases. Then up the stairs for a mile and climb of 450 feet. Then 1.5 mile jog across the top of Queen Anne and down the backside. Followed by 2.5 miles across Ballard Bridge, up to my local coffee shop. Great way to spend the morning.
	12:34pm clarke: shenanigans??!!??
	12:34pm clarke: i knew there was some afoot.
	12:35pm tonyb: Painting & Sculpture as Shenanigans. I’ll remember that.
	12:35pm jmd: ↳ egould @12:32 Whoa! We must be neighbors. My route is around the top of QA hill. See you around sometime.
	12:35pm clarke: henry ford said it.
	12:36pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ StringOFperils @12:26 Nice!
	12:36pm egould: ↳ jmd @12:35 I’ll do the ol’ jogging two finger wave. :-)
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: But that's the problem with Institutional Education here too (maybe everywhere). I credit them with teaching a lot of Reading & Math fundamentals to a mass of morons ...but it fails so grandly @ preparing either Citizens to function practically or participate - or in recognizing & developing the potentials of the Individual.
	12:37pm StringOFperils: Bah, I was born to it too, but forced myself to do graphic design/illustration at least half the time and it didn't work anyway. Hated it. It all just slid off and I was still there underneath the sham. Conformity is shenanigans too. Be you.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:37 ...they can't even muster enuff authority or finesse to keep kids in School from terrorizing each other. Let's be honest.
	12:38pm Frank In Queens: Say it!
	12:38pm ?: Yeah, there was some wedding that weekend as I recall....
	12:39pm Bob: He’s wrong. The Pistols album is fantastic
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: SAY IT!!!!
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:39 i don't think he was saying the record was bad - just that it was just one album.
	12:40pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:39 He said it!!!
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:40 a cookie full of arsenic!
	12:42pm P-90: Television WAS a very proggy band. So were the Police and others, but sure, anything overtly proggy really was “outlawed”
	12:42pm Handy Haversack: [Tucks bottle of Night Nurse out of view of radio]
	12:42pm Bob: I think he answered my question about why Elvis hates him
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...mayyybe the broadest thing about 'Punk' as a movement was handing it all back to the People - after the 1970s had begun to co-opt the 1960s revolutions & innovations into a Big Corporate Market. ...Or - trying to... It was a somewhat more of an organic Bull again than an Oxen ...in the Next Era...
	12:43pm clarke: the sound quality of this is GREAt (as well as the actual content) - this is on the phone?!?
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: Max Power! He has the name that you want to touch!
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: On one chatboard we more or less shot down a guy for comparing Television to the Allman Bros. ...then in another I thot it would be ironic to do the same...
	12:45pm clarke: this guy!
	12:46pm Joli Gee: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:27 Ah we got there at 7. Buy you a drink next time fella!
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Joli Gee @12:46 deal!
	12:49pm JG: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:45 That guy here. I like some Television, but some if it is , to quote myself, "meandering". But I like the Allmans!
	12:50pm Bob: So wait, he hates or disowns Whole Wide World?
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ JG @12:49 ...well - much is different - like the songs & context...
	12:51pm Greg g: Love this guy! Great interview Michael & Wreckless Eric
	12:52pm JG: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:50 Meandering is ok in the right context. And who doesn't' occasionally get in a prog kind of mood?
	12:53pm CalZone!: Eric is a complete treasure, and I am not being sarcastic!
	12:53pm clarke: always love hearin' this guy talk - no matter what e's on about. but, e's on about some GREAT stuff!
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: Fantastic!
	12:57pm clarke: it's been OKAY.
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: That was a great interview, MS.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:57 were you listening to the dude's story, handy?
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Southern Rock" by "Wreckless Eric" great production ideas and concepts.
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Southern Rock" by "Wreckless Eric" Kinda Stonsey on that chorus.
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael!
	1:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Michael!
	1:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks!!
	1:00pm JG: THat 2 hours went by real quick. Time flies. Great show Michael
	1:00pm clarke: the cost of pizza. good nite.
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	1:00pm Cooh John: Great interview, Michael.
	1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~ - & Wreckless Eric !

	11:09am clarke: springtime for eddy in melbourne!!
	11:09am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	11:09am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	11:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:09 prof.! I can't get that Tom Waits site to work for some reason. Frustration abounds.
	11:09am prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:07 i'd settle for being repressed... oh. wait.
	11:10am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	11:10am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:10 howdy (arabia) son!!
	11:10am nycmusicnerd: Fuzz, you're already in Howdy Arabia. Isn't that enough repression for you?
	11:11am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:09 site didn't load, or the store didn't work?
	11:11am prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:10 more than enough and then some!

	11:11am Don Gorden: so much wine
	11:12am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Baby @11:03 They went to Parsons college in Fairfield Iowa (it's where they met, in the choir) in the 50s. The president of the college, after they graduated, was an idiot apparently. He drove it into the ground and it went bankrupt. The Maharishi bought the campus to start his university. They say one of the reasons is because there's a building with a golden dome which would be perfect for levitation.
	11:12am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Good morning Michael!
	11:13am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:12 so he was a 13th Floor Elevators fan
	11:14am clarke: (and racially cool).
	11:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:11 Store didn't work. Seemed like it would then just returned to the input screen but with a confusing shipping error?
	11:15am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:09 if it's any help, two of my local shops mentioned having the first three in stock yesterday. joseyrecords does mail order too, if you can't get tom's official store to work.
	11:15am Crei6hton: Morning WFMU
	11:15am Panther: ELVIS!!!!!

	11:16am clarke: ↳ Song: "Getting Mighty Crowded" by "Elvis Costello and th... best shelley interview EVER!
	11:16am gf2002: Mike Love wishes he had written the lyrics to the Maharishi song, as someone who actually did give flowers to him. Levitation is where it's AT. And flowers, and incessant giggling.
	11:16am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:15 arrrgh!
	11:16am Panther: The King at his Motown best
	11:17am Chris Hiatt: Good Morning, folks!
	11:18am clarke: ↳ Song: "(Would You Believe) It's Raining Flowers In My Ho... envelope filter workin' overtime.
	11:19am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:15 Will try that right now! Hoping it's a problem with the store and not a "helpful" "fraud" alert with the card.
	11:19am clarke: levels a bit low, here.
	11:20am gf2002: ↳ Song: "(Would You Believe) It's Raining Flowers In My Ho... Vinnie Bell would be proud to hear that guitar
	11:20am myron feld: ↳ Song: "(Would You Believe) It's Raining Flowers In My Ho... the Sidewalk Skipper Band are on at least one of the "Book A Trip" compilations, comprised of sunshine psych pop from Capitol Records -- great collections
	11:20am Listener Baby: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:12 I’m working on the made for TV movie, Phat. But why couldn’t he have opened a music venue?
	11:20am bobobob plasticland milw: I'm from Milwaukee had the band Plasticland in the 80s but I do remember the name Sidewalk Skipper band when I was a lil boy. too young to see them
	11:21am bobobob: WOKY 920 AM
	11:21am egould: I’m jogging. I’m hanks Michael!
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Song: "Mare, Take Me Home" by "Wildweeds, The" yass!!!
	11:23am Frank In Queens: I like the Wildweeeds singles prior to the LP as well.
	11:23am Michael Shelley: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:05 SO sorry I couldnt make it!
	11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Baby @11:20 Lol. They get good shows in Eastern Iowa!
	11:24am gf2002: The Sidewalk Skipper Band did not look like that record sounds, if that makes sense.
	11:25am nycmusicnerd: Michael--After the show the guys were standing around chatting with folks. I walked right up to Greg & said, "I'm Cheryl, and I'm your nerd." "CHERYL!!" He knew immediately who I was. :)
	11:25am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie" by "Richard Berry" Where it all began...
	11:25am Bob: Good morning, folks
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie" by "Richard Berry" yep. i'm the original.
	11:26am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie" by "Richard Berry" Not only did I get to see Richard Berry, I engineered a show by him. Just sayin’
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:26 but how was your gain structure??
	11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: That Tim reissue is fantastic!
	11:27am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie" by "Richard Berry" So which came first, Louie Louie or Havana Moon?
	11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:16 "Your order has been successfully placed! A confirmation has been sent to [HANDY]"! Go, Josey, go!
	11:27am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:26 Hopefully perfect!
	11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Baby @11:26 Damn
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:27 i would guess havana moon.
	11:27am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Oh Happy Day" by "Som Tres" This was a great cut, the only one I knew previously was the Quincy Jones version.
	11:28am ?: These are the most cogent Louie Louie lyrics I have ever heard.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:27 why did louie have to go??
	11:28am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:27 Both came out in '57, so it's close!
	11:28am Michael Shelley: REPLACEMENTS DOC Rhino.lnk.to...
	11:28am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:28 too much coffee
	11:28am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:28 To get to the other side.
	11:29am listener phat in Lincoln: Definitely. The remix is REALLY different. And it's so, so good. If a remix could be album of the year...
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:28 to get chicken.
	11:29am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 woot!
	11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: The guitars are crunchy!
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:28 hah!!
	11:30am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Kiss Me On The Bus" by "Replacements, The" ah, high school...
	11:30am Kotzwinkled: Getting an error that the mini doc is a private video. Maybe just me!
	11:30am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Kiss Me On The Bus" by "Replacements, The" the newly heard kick drum!
	11:30am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:29 Or just too much beer. It happens to the best of us.
	11:30am jmd: Dang it. The video is private.
	11:30am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:23 ALL ARE AWESOME!
	11:30am evancuts: DeCamp RIP
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:30 not to frank!
	11:31am Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @11:30 It certainly sounds fuller
	11:31am Greg g: Just telling myself I don’t need anymore records… may have to make an exception for remixed Mats
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: I never quite realized how much I hated that original mix.
	11:32am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:31 Not true. I just don't talk about those instances!
	11:32am Eddy in Australia: I had the same problem with the Mats video yesterday. Anyone know of a workaround?
	11:32am bd: i’ve listened to tim a zillion times over the decades. I cant tell a damn bit of difference.
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: Just poorly compressed drums and crappy reverb.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:32 or the too much coffee incidents.
	11:33am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:32 See, now that NEVER happens. I hate coffee!
	11:33am johnk77: the let it bleed edition of tim is on apple music and probably other places
	11:33am Pedro in Arlington: Very Mats to have a new promotional video on YouTube set to private.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:33 me, too. well, hate is a strong word. i like the smell of it. just don't drink it.
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:33 Truth
	11:34am nycmusicnerd: I can't do coffee either. It's like chugging battery acid.
	11:34am PB: Obsessing over The Replacements? Let’s face it, they were never very good.
	11:34am Greg from ZONE 5: Was it Obal's? If it wasn't Obal's, next time make it Obal's.
	11:35am clarke: here we go, again.
	11:35am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:33 Yeah, you're right. But I used to hate the smell too! I figure I might actually like the taste of it when i'm around 80 or so
	11:35am clarke: myth-believing.
	11:35am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael and everybody! On my way for Freedy et al, moved indoors.
	11:35am Jeff formerly from Rahway: ↳ Song: "Expert in a Dying Field (demo)" by "Beths, The" This record is great. HIFI VOLUME RAISED.
	11:35am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:33 Yeah. Same way. Don't mind the smell at all. Can't imagine ingesting. Still a caffeine slave. Diet colas. Weird thing, my parents both took theirs black with sugar. Beautiful bride uses cream. Again, can't imagine that making it better.
	11:35am Michael Shelley: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:34 It was!
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:35 or: nah!
	11:36am Jeff formerly from Rahway: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:35 I hope you are dressed sharply, Jack.
	11:36am Frank In Queens: ↳ Squints @11:35 Tea for me! Already up to cup #3 this morning
	11:36am Michael Shelley: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:34 There was a car with WFMU bumper sticker in the lot - must belong to a staffer
	11:37am prof.fuzz: yo jack!
	11:37am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:35 was that on Happy Days when someone puts sugar in a bottle of coke??
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack.
	11:38am bobobob plasticland: when Shirley Manson was living in Madison Wisconsin..recording w Garbage..she was freaked out by cheese curds but liked them I cuerdcurd
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:35 jaaack!!
	11:38am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Expert in a Dying Field (demo)" by "Beths, The" I love this tune. I don't know why but I find it haunting.
	11:38am Officer Pupp: Love this Beths track.
	11:38am Geoffrey in Ottawa: A Montreal must that I forgot to mention last week: Jean Talon Market. Don't miss it. Also, it occurred to me later that you are pretty much a vegetarian so likely won't be visiting my recommended spots. But the Market will be a find as will the Fairmount bagels another listener recommended (although some swear by St. Viateur bagels, so maybe a taste test is in order).
	11:38am prof.fuzz: ↳ bobobob plasticland @11:38 madison cheese curds can be intense...
	11:39am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:37 Can't remember. My mom would buy Tab or Diet Pepsi. This was before I'd weaned myself from the sugared sodeas. I'd pour a glass and add sugar. But I'm feeling muuuuuch better now.
	11:39am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Expert in a Dying Field (demo)" by "Beths, The" story of my life
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:39 dang!
	11:40am bobobob: hey Fuzzzz !!!
	11:40am prof.fuzz: ↳ bobobob @11:40 hey bobobobobobobob
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go (at the BBC)" by "Honeybus" oh very YES!!
	11:40am Squints: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:38 If you're dancing the Madison while eating them, sure.
	11:40am nycmusicnerd: It was Laverne & Shirley. Laverne liked to drink milk & Pepsi.
	11:41am prof.fuzz: ↳ bobobob plasticland @11:38 i really miss the sentry grocery store memorial day and labor day brat tent...
	11:41am Frew: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go (at the BBC)" by "Honeybus" I think their manager ran away with all the profits from this song, or something.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:40 but, i never watched laverne and shirley, so must've been predecded by potsie webber.
	11:41am prof.fuzz: ↳ Squints @11:40 when am i ever not???
	11:42am Michael Shelley: ↳ Bob Barth @11:38 yes!
	11:42am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:41 -preceded.
	11:42am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go (at the BBC)" by "Honeybus" I would think sometimes, if a band went into the BBC to record, it was a better studio than the one the song was originally done in. Sometimes.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:42 i wonder if they hired an oboe'ist??
	11:44am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:43 I think he just happened to be there.
	11:44am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:44 maybe it was brian matthew.
	11:45am Listener Baby: ↳ Listener Baby @11:44 Oboe playing janitor
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Song: "Joe The Singing Janitor" by "Junior Brown" Love Junior.
	11:46am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:43 I think over there they say "a" [uh] oboe'ist.
	11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: "out of his mind" is accurate
	11:46am Bob: Junior Brown definitely looks crazy in the eyes
	11:47am Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:40 I'm guessing Dr Feelgodd had no use for Laverne.
	11:47am clarke: they probably say oboe player.
	11:47am Chris Hiatt: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:46 Yeah, what a sick live show. Whoa...
	11:47am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:47 Yep
	11:47am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:36 That was my second home when I lived around the corner and is still one of my favorite places in the world. Also in that neighborhood at different times: Bryce, Donna, Wm. Berger & R. Stevie Moore!
	11:48am Bob: Didn’t Nick Lowe have something to do with Junior getting signed?
	11:48am Squints: Dang. Second time today we say G. G. Y.
	11:48am clarke: hello bob.
	11:49am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:48 Hey, Clarke.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Joe The Singing Janitor" by "Junior Brown" + Good to hear JuniorBrown +
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Song: "Soul Heart Transplant" by "Ebony Rhythm Band" they changed their name to just the Rhythm Band, after this.
	11:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "16 Toneladas" by "Noriel Vilela" Well this is just great.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Song: "16 Toneladas" by "Noriel Vilela" vince gilligan taking notes.
	11:52am Bob: This is kinda better than the original
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies" so yes.
	11:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies" A surprisingly fun karaoke song!
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "16 Toneladas" by "Noriel Vilela" ...when we need a tack to transition from ErnieFord to the Bump Step...

	11:54am Bob: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:54 And a real weirdo
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:53 [as DaffyDuck] ...it's a living...
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Baby @11:53 Looks like it: wfmu.org...
	11:54am Jeff formerly from Rahway: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:53 Hahahah I'm gonna remember that one.

	11:59am drr: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:54 There's a podcast called "Life Of The Record" that does a dep dive into a classic record with thoughts from the people who made it. The one on Surfer Rosa, they interview Lovering, Joey Santiago, and Steve Albini--it's really interesting. Lovering's take is great, he was not, like, an 'indie' guy, he was a Rush fan.
	11:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ drr @11:59 Who isn't?!
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ drr @11:59 mornin' dave!! will have to listen to dat.

	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:59 main problem for me: they always seem to sneak a reggae part into it.
	12:02pm steveo: Noon on Saturday! Could any time be more fun?!
	12:03pm Handy Haversack: Rex, time to go out and bring back some cold foamers.

	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:08 gary was The Man!
	12:08pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: White, middle-aged indie rock fans love to discuss baseball almost as much as they do music.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @12:08 i don't wanna discuss it, today - my team got beat last night in the stupidest way.
	12:10pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @12:08 The Baseball Project new album and tour are a grand slam.
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:09 Baseball is over for me. Hockey starts next week. Pre-season anyway...
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:10 i'm dead to you!!
	12:11pm StringOFperils: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @12:08 Indie rock: A lot of garbage kited out to left field, but the occasional home-run.
	12:11pm Squints: ↳ HM @12:06 Makes ya wanna say hi-dee-ho.
	12:12pm Chris Hiatt: Main Drag is cool, it's a very live and bright room. I don't I would want to see metal there, for instance.
	12:12pm steveo: My favorite team was in the world series last year it was terrible I had to stay up past midnight and everything. Haven't paid a single bit of attention to it this year.
	12:12pm myron feld: Cher does the best version of "I Go To Sleep" ever give.
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:11 You'll get over it
	12:13pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:12 Probably amazing for intimate singer songwriter types. I saw some experimental jazz there which was nice. They had cold foamers too.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:13 it was you, fredo.
	12:13pm Squints: ↳ steveo @12:12 I love it when the Sox go deep into Octobah, but the late nights are a grind. As glorious as 2004 was, by the end, it was a death march.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:13 you won't have that "problem" this year!
	12:16pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Want To Know" by "Wayne Raney" Is this one on the list, Baby?
	12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Our Day Will Come" by "Cher" She sure can Sing. But that not the best match of Song or Arrangement for her. I mean ...I hoird woirse ...just a bit perfunctory (which does not imply Musics as bumpin' as the word perhaps sounds like)...
	12:17pm clarke: number 9 number 9 number 9
	12:18pm myron feld: ↳ Squints @12:13 Squints, i was at Yankee Stadium in '04 for Game 7 of the ALCS. My son was a huge Sox fan and was in full Rose Hose regalia. Some interesting fan interactions that evening.
	12:19pm MJ: who is singing lead vocal?
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ myron feld @12:18 as an O's fan, i can agree.
	12:21pm Bob: I like this TF but I’m having a tough time with the loss of Gerry. It’s just lesser
	12:21pm StringOFperils: Maybe Les Hou-Lops is word play for Les Sous L'Eau.(beneath water). Just a guess. It looks like nonsense, either way.
	12:21pm Squints: ↳ myron feld @12:18 One of my favorite t-shirts this century was "Got Rings Lately?"
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:21 while i might tend to agree, the lesser is still better than most.
	12:22pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:14 Hockey's going to be "meh," too. Broons will mean-revert.
	12:22pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Why Can't You Be" by "Shelby Lynne" Great album
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ myron feld @12:18 I was there for game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:22 i don't know from hockey.
	12:23pm rw: Michael Jackson and other weird people
	12:23pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:22 No doubt. One of the best guitar bands ever. But still, Gerry’s songs were the most soaring and majestic
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:23 again, i tend to agree.
	12:24pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Why Can't You Be" by "Shelby Lynne" I sort had forgotten about this album. It's really good and I had it on heavy rotation when it came out.
	12:24pm Michael Shelley: ↳ MJ @12:19 Norman, I'd guess
	12:24pm Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:16 Smokey sounded great with no perfunction.
	12:25pm Bob: Has anyone mentioned the new NRBQ loft sessions release? It sounds AMAZING. Some really great moments on there. The engineer in that thing just nailed it.
	12:25pm Joli Gee: Hey we were at the bar in Obal's last night. Are you the one who played "Last Dance" by Donna Summer?
	12:26pm StringOFperils: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:24 Saw her play this whole album at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto....speaking of Rick Hall, it was FAME-esque
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Joli Gee @12:25 that was Rex.
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Joli Gee @12:25 No. Was there around 4:30 - 6:30. It was quite quiet (o jukebox) till around 6.
	12:27pm Bob: Can you ask Eric why Elvis hates him so much?
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: ↳ StringOFperils @12:26 Lucky you. I played Horseshoe opening for Shonen Knife - cool place, but the exchange rate was a killer.
	12:29pm StringOFperils: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:28 Wow, cool Michael! *I know, cross-border economics are not kind :(
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Wreckless Eric" kudos, suh.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Wreckless Eric" This guy!
	12:31pm clarke: my ears don't see so good.
	12:32pm egould: Back from my jog. Excellent soundtrack, Michael. Epic. Ran 3.5 miles to a series of staircases. Then up the stairs for a mile and climb of 450 feet. Then 1.5 mile jog across the top of Queen Anne and down the backside. Followed by 2.5 miles across Ballard Bridge, up to my local coffee shop. Great way to spend the morning.
	12:34pm clarke: shenanigans??!!??
	12:34pm clarke: i knew there was some afoot.
	12:35pm tonyb: Painting & Sculpture as Shenanigans. I’ll remember that.
	12:35pm jmd: ↳ egould @12:32 Whoa! We must be neighbors. My route is around the top of QA hill. See you around sometime.
	12:35pm clarke: henry ford said it.
	12:36pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ StringOFperils @12:26 Nice!
	12:36pm egould: ↳ jmd @12:35 I’ll do the ol’ jogging two finger wave. :-)
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: But that's the problem with Institutional Education here too (maybe everywhere). I credit them with teaching a lot of Reading & Math fundamentals to a mass of morons ...but it fails so grandly @ preparing either Citizens to function practically or participate - or in recognizing & developing the potentials of the Individual.
	12:37pm StringOFperils: Bah, I was born to it too, but forced myself to do graphic design/illustration at least half the time and it didn't work anyway. Hated it. It all just slid off and I was still there underneath the sham. Conformity is shenanigans too. Be you.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:37 ...they can't even muster enuff authority or finesse to keep kids in School from terrorizing each other. Let's be honest.
	12:38pm Frank In Queens: Say it!
	12:38pm ?: Yeah, there was some wedding that weekend as I recall....
	12:39pm Bob: He’s wrong. The Pistols album is fantastic
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: SAY IT!!!!
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:39 i don't think he was saying the record was bad - just that it was just one album.
	12:40pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:39 He said it!!!
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:40 a cookie full of arsenic!
	12:42pm P-90: Television WAS a very proggy band. So were the Police and others, but sure, anything overtly proggy really was “outlawed”
	12:42pm Handy Haversack: [Tucks bottle of Night Nurse out of view of radio]
	12:42pm Bob: I think he answered my question about why Elvis hates him
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...mayyybe the broadest thing about 'Punk' as a movement was handing it all back to the People - after the 1970s had begun to co-opt the 1960s revolutions & innovations into a Big Corporate Market. ...Or - trying to... It was a somewhat more of an organic Bull again than an Oxen ...in the Next Era...
	12:43pm clarke: the sound quality of this is GREAt (as well as the actual content) - this is on the phone?!?
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: Max Power! He has the name that you want to touch!
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: On one chatboard we more or less shot down a guy for comparing Television to the Allman Bros. ...then in another I thot it would be ironic to do the same...
	12:45pm clarke: this guy!
	12:46pm Joli Gee: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:27 Ah we got there at 7. Buy you a drink next time fella!
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Joli Gee @12:46 deal!
	12:49pm JG: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:45 That guy here. I like some Television, but some if it is , to quote myself, "meandering". But I like the Allmans!
	12:50pm Bob: So wait, he hates or disowns Whole Wide World?
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ JG @12:49 ...well - much is different - like the songs & context...
	12:51pm Greg g: Love this guy! Great interview Michael & Wreckless Eric
	12:52pm JG: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:50 Meandering is ok in the right context. And who doesn't' occasionally get in a prog kind of mood?
	12:53pm CalZone!: Eric is a complete treasure, and I am not being sarcastic!
	12:53pm clarke: always love hearin' this guy talk - no matter what e's on about. but, e's on about some GREAT stuff!
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: Fantastic!
	12:57pm clarke: it's been OKAY.
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: That was a great interview, MS.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:57 were you listening to the dude's story, handy?
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Southern Rock" by "Wreckless Eric" great production ideas and concepts.
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Southern Rock" by "Wreckless Eric" Kinda Stonsey on that chorus.
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael!
	1:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Michael!
	1:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks!!
	1:00pm JG: THat 2 hours went by real quick. Time flies. Great show Michael
	1:00pm clarke: the cost of pizza. good nite.
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
