	9:15pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ medson @9:13 so well said

	9:16pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:15 Fatherflot! The second half of the Friday dynamic duo following meson starting your weekends right
	9:16pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ medson @9:15 thx. copped some Fatherflot licks this week!
	♥ 9:17pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:16 Thanks Harry! Just finished Next Friday's super crazy and stoopid Halloween show.

	9:19pm Chuck: ↳ Fatherflot @9:17 I wonder if anybody's going to play DOA by Bloodrock this year???...:)
	♥ 9:19pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:18 I go down a production wormhole that makes me understand why Joe Meek, Phil Specter, Alex Chilton, and Brian Wilson drove themselves nuts in the studio
	9:20pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:19 well I bet the show is Great then
	♥ 9:20pm medson: ↳ Fatherflot @9:17 Hey there F2
	9:21pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Soulstealer007 @9:11 this song is when the Plimsouls levitated
	♥ 9:21pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:20 Still, it pales in comparison to making the Drop In show about British Pirate radio this summer. Holy shite that was a lot of work.
	♥ 9:21pm Aitch: Lurking, great stuff. Didn't get much Cali punk down here. The big one was the Let Them Eat Jellybeans comp, seldom bought, but often taped.
	♥ 9:22pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:21 Yeah, I'm loving this.
	9:22pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Aitch @9:21 Aitch! you're right there.
	♥ 9:22pm Aitch: And Repo Man.
	♥ 9:23pm Fatherflot: ↳ Aitch @9:22 Repo Man changed my life.
	9:23pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Aitch @9:22 yeah and didn't Iggy do title track
	♥ 9:23pm Aitch: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:22 if cassettes could go viral that'd be it
	♥ 9:24pm Aitch: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:23 Sure did, it's a ripper
	9:24pm Cali4nyaStreamin': love me some Blasters
	9:25pm Soulstealer007: Holy Shit this is a great show!!!
	9:25pm Cali4nyaStreamin': Trouble Bound is one of my very favorites
	9:25pm Harry Parmenter: thx ss! knew you'd enjoy. yeah Cali that's a ripper too that one
	♥ 9:25pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:23 Yes, I think with Jones and Cook of the Sex Pistols
	9:26pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:25 well that's a rhythm section
	♥ 9:26pm Fatherflot: ↳ Song: "Blue Spark" by "X" One of my all time favorite X tunes. Saw them lip sync it on American Bandstand
	♥ 9:26pm Jessie: Plugz, Weirdos, The Last and the Screamers are some of favorite LA punk bands!
	♥ 9:26pm Tom P: ↳ Soulstealer007 @9:25 Yes - excellent show!!!
	9:26pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:26 jeez I think I vaguely remember that. X on AB.
	♥ 9:27pm Fatherflot: ↳ Fatherflot @9:26 Exene shows Clark a vintage button she was wearing. It had his much younger face and it said "I Like Dick"
	9:27pm TuaHurtz: Hope you got some Social D in here!
	9:27pm TuaHurtz: I'm late but here. I had a version of this too but it was skidmarks in my pants!
	9:28pm TuaHurtz: Minor Threat is DC punk but I'll allow it
	♥ 9:28pm Jessie: ↳ Song: "Skidmarks on My Heart" by "The Go Gos" Belinda Carlisle was the drummer for the Germs for a bit.
	9:29pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ TuaHurtz @9:27 Hilarious. and no I am sorry to disappoint but not this time. and I know the current bass player who works at a record store in Ventura! sorry to fail like your boys did today. MT were DC? my error then.
	9:29pm TuaHurtz: Ian MacKaye was a year ahead of me in high school and his younger brother was in my algebra class
	9:29pm Chuck: Harry... I hate to say it but so far this music is really been annoying to me???... might just be my Sunday evening mood??...:)
	9:29pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Jessie @9:28 the book featured is just great as is the first one UNDER THE BIG BLACK SUN.
	9:30pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Chuck @9:29 that's ok. punk music can be COMPLETELY annoying at the wrong time.
	9:30pm TuaHurtz: Commanders should be court martialed after today
	♥ 9:30pm Aitch: ↳ Chuck @9:29 You'll need to take a hair-metal pill and sit in the corner then
	9:31pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ TuaHurtz @9:30 disgraceful. then again Buffalo...Rams...upset week
	♥ 9:31pm Jessie: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:29 We Got The Neutron Bomb by Marc Spitz is a great book about the L.A. punk scene.
	♥ 9:31pm Fatherflot: And here it is: www.youtube.com...
	9:31pm TuaHurtz: Lions got smoked too! Wake up call for them
	♥ 9:31pm Fatherflot: ↳ Jessie @9:31 Hey Jessie
	9:31pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Jessie @9:31 thx! haven't read that. very good writer
	♥ 9:32pm Jessie: ↳ Fatherflot @9:31 Hey Ff!
	9:33pm Chuck: I suppose it's hard to come up with good stuff that appeals across the board week after week???...:)
	♥ 9:34pm Fatherflot: Tough Crowd. I love the show, Harry.
	9:34pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Chuck @9:33 well there's that! try Halloween next week.
	9:35pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:34 no problem and thanks. didn't you play Screamers this week, Jessie? they never made an actual record but were completely unique especially their clothes
	9:36pm Chuck: if I was a DJ I'm sure people would wind up turning me off left and right!!!...hehehe...:)
	♥ 9:36pm Jessie: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:35 Played them two weeks ago. Yes it is a shame they never recorded a proper album.
	9:37pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Chuck @9:36 goes with the territory, Chuck.
	♥ 9:38pm Jessie: Loving the show Harry!
	♥ 9:39pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:37 Especially here, where we have total autonomy --- and responsibility for our shows. Some WFMU DJs have specialized in driving listeners away. Anyone remember "Kenny G" --- famous poet and Ivy League professor who has read his poetry at the White House? The things he did on the air to piss off listeners are legendary.
	9:39pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Jessie @9:38 thank you Jessie. gotta work hard to keep up with all you killer dis on RNSR!
	9:39pm Chuck: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:37 Some people just don't have open minds!!!...:)
	9:40pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:39 Don't know about him. Sounds like an individual!
	9:40pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:39 there was an LA dj called The Greaseman who pissed off PLENTY of people. and of course the greatest was Phil Hendrix
	9:41pm Harry Parmenter: Hendrie! not Hendrix
	9:41pm Soulstealer007: I lost a girl the the drummer of Lone Justice. I was excited they played the courtyard at my school till that happened.
	♥ 9:41pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:40 There's a whole segment on him in the WFMU documentary "Sex and Broadcasting" where Ken says "I thought I had dealt with every kind of bad boy DJ, but Kenny G was beyond anything we had seen
	9:42pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Soulstealer007 @9:41 where is she now??
	9:42pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:41 doc on YT?
	9:42pm Soulstealer007: Phil Hendrie= Legend
	9:42pm Soulstealer007: EXACTLY Harry
	9:43pm Cali4nyaStreamin': have seen the Knitters and the Blasters
	♥ 9:44pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:42 Trailer on YT, but you have to rent/buy it to see the rest. I own it. www.youtube.com...
	9:44pm Chuck: So many people to relate to.. so little time!!!...:)
	9:45pm TuaHurtz: Harry, you see Mark the Animal is going to open for dictators at a gig?
	♥ 9:45pm Fatherflot: There is exactly one episode of Kenny G's "Hour of Pain" in the archvies, but it is quite representative of his work: wfmu.org...
	9:45pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:44 thx F2. @Tua No! where?
	9:45pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:45 most excellent will check it out thx man
	9:47pm Chuck: This has been sounding real good the last few minutes or so Harry!!!...:)
	9:48pm TuaHurtz: I think Jersey
	9:48pm Soulstealer007: 1979-80 New Years Eve I saw Suburban Lawns, Los Lobos and Bingo Boingo at the Whiskey.
	9:48pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Chuck @9:47 alright!
	9:49pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Soulstealer007 @9:48 Bingo Bango Bongo like The Mosquitos on Gilligan's Island?!
	9:49pm Chuck: If you had an earworm of the week I would choose Los Lobos...:)
	9:49pm Cali4nyaStreamin': Los Lobos several years at The Fillmore San Francisco
	9:50pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Chuck @9:49 still going strong 45 years later
	9:50pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Cali4nyaStreamin' @9:49 know I saw em but can't remember where or when
	♥ 9:50pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:50 In English their name means "The Lobos"
	9:51pm Cali4nyaStreamin': Lobos = Wolves
	9:51pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:50 Really?! Amazing. Jeez I screwed up here! no wonder I sound comatose
	♥ 9:52pm Fatherflot: ↳ Cali4nyaStreamin' @9:51 what what????
	9:53pm Cali4nyaStreamin': cheers Harry
	9:53pm Chuck: ↳ Cali4nyaStreamin' @9:51 Hungry like a wolf???...:)
	♥ 9:53pm medson: Thanks Harry, great stuff
	♥ 9:54pm Fatherflot: You have such a unique radio voice, Harry. You sound like no one else.
	9:54pm Chuck: Keep up the good work Harry!!!...:)
	9:54pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ medson @9:53 thank you Cali and medson. stay tuned for RAMA LAMA DING DONG next on the Rock N Soul Radio stream here at WFMU.org. And don't forget Hellraiser pledging! thanks all. thank you Chuck.
	9:54pm Soulstealer007: Thanks Harry! Great memories of so many shows in Hollywood
	♥ 9:55pm Tom P: Thanks for another great show, Harry!
	9:55pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Soulstealer007 @9:54 yes sir. and we were THERE!
	9:56pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Tom P @9:55 thanks Tom P! good week to you and everyone
	9:56pm Soulstealer007: Desperate
	9:57pm Chuck: I'm sorry but rama lama ding dong don't go good on a mellow Sunday evening..!.. sorry medson man!!!...:)
	♥ 9:57pm Fatherflot: poor Medson
	♥ 9:58pm Fatherflot: Thanks Harry
	9:58pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Chuck @9:57 ah come on! it's always super soothing in my book. good night all!
	9:59pm Chuck: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:58 I'm not drunk enough!!!...hahaha...:)
	♥ 1:15pm 3chordbliss: Listening in the archives. I went to school in West L.A., ground zero for the Hollywood punk scene. I must have seen a hundred shows featuring most of the bands on your playlist. Great set Harry! (Wasn't Minor Threat a D.C. band? No matter.) Just about every Fear concert I saw was shut down by the police. I began to think it was part of the act. X was the best of them all. For some bands (which you wisely did not play), I tell people you had to be there to understand the appeal. A great time to be a music fan. Thanks for the memories!

	♥ 9:31pm Jessie: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:29 We Got The Neutron Bomb by Marc Spitz is a great book about the L.A. punk scene.
	♥ 9:31pm Fatherflot: And here it is: www.youtube.com...
	9:31pm TuaHurtz: Lions got smoked too! Wake up call for them
	♥ 9:31pm Fatherflot: ↳ Jessie @9:31 Hey Jessie
	9:31pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Jessie @9:31 thx! haven't read that. very good writer
	♥ 9:32pm Jessie: ↳ Fatherflot @9:31 Hey Ff!
	9:33pm Chuck: I suppose it's hard to come up with good stuff that appeals across the board week after week???...:)
	♥ 9:34pm Fatherflot: Tough Crowd. I love the show, Harry.
	9:34pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Chuck @9:33 well there's that! try Halloween next week.
	9:35pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:34 no problem and thanks. didn't you play Screamers this week, Jessie? they never made an actual record but were completely unique especially their clothes
	9:36pm Chuck: if I was a DJ I'm sure people would wind up turning me off left and right!!!...hehehe...:)
	♥ 9:36pm Jessie: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:35 Played them two weeks ago. Yes it is a shame they never recorded a proper album.
	9:37pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Chuck @9:36 goes with the territory, Chuck.
	♥ 9:38pm Jessie: Loving the show Harry!
	♥ 9:39pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:37 Especially here, where we have total autonomy --- and responsibility for our shows. Some WFMU DJs have specialized in driving listeners away. Anyone remember "Kenny G" --- famous poet and Ivy League professor who has read his poetry at the White House? The things he did on the air to piss off listeners are legendary.
	9:39pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Jessie @9:38 thank you Jessie. gotta work hard to keep up with all you killer dis on RNSR!
	9:39pm Chuck: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:37 Some people just don't have open minds!!!...:)
	9:40pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:39 Don't know about him. Sounds like an individual!
	9:40pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:39 there was an LA dj called The Greaseman who pissed off PLENTY of people. and of course the greatest was Phil Hendrix
	9:41pm Harry Parmenter: Hendrie! not Hendrix
	9:41pm Soulstealer007: I lost a girl the the drummer of Lone Justice. I was excited they played the courtyard at my school till that happened.
	♥ 9:41pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:40 There's a whole segment on him in the WFMU documentary "Sex and Broadcasting" where Ken says "I thought I had dealt with every kind of bad boy DJ, but Kenny G was beyond anything we had seen
	9:42pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Soulstealer007 @9:41 where is she now??
	9:42pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:41 doc on YT?
	9:42pm Soulstealer007: Phil Hendrie= Legend

	9:44pm Chuck: So many people to relate to.. so little time!!!...:)
	9:45pm TuaHurtz: Harry, you see Mark the Animal is going to open for dictators at a gig?
	♥ 9:45pm Fatherflot: There is exactly one episode of Kenny G's "Hour of Pain" in the archvies, but it is quite representative of his work: wfmu.org...
	9:45pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:44 thx F2. @Tua No! where?
	9:45pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:45 most excellent will check it out thx man

	9:48pm TuaHurtz: I think Jersey
	9:48pm Soulstealer007: 1979-80 New Years Eve I saw Suburban Lawns, Los Lobos and Bingo Boingo at the Whiskey.
	9:48pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Chuck @9:47 alright!
	9:49pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Soulstealer007 @9:48 Bingo Bango Bongo like The Mosquitos on Gilligan's Island?!
	9:49pm Chuck: If you had an earworm of the week I would choose Los Lobos...:)
	9:49pm Cali4nyaStreamin': Los Lobos several years at The Fillmore San Francisco
	9:50pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Chuck @9:49 still going strong 45 years later
	9:50pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Cali4nyaStreamin' @9:49 know I saw em but can't remember where or when
	♥ 9:50pm Fatherflot: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:50 In English their name means "The Lobos"
	9:51pm Cali4nyaStreamin': Lobos = Wolves
	9:51pm Harry Parmenter: ↳ Fatherflot @9:50 Really?! Amazing. Jeez I screwed up here! no wonder I sound comatose

	9:59pm Chuck: ↳ Harry Parmenter @9:58 I'm not drunk enough!!!...hahaha...:)
	♥ 1:15pm 3chordbliss: Listening in the archives. I went to school in West L.A., ground zero for the Hollywood punk scene. I must have seen a hundred shows featuring most of the bands on your playlist. Great set Harry! (Wasn't Minor Threat a D.C. band? No matter.) Just about every Fear concert I saw was shut down by the police. I began to think it was part of the act. X was the best of them all. For some bands (which you wisely did not play), I tell people you had to be there to understand the appeal. A great time to be a music fan. Thanks for the memories!
