	11:22am Squints: ↳ Song: "Guess Things Happen That Way" by "Bob Dylan And J... Listen to Zim taking that high part. But I guess if you're duetting with Johnny Cash, you're takin' the high part. I really wish Dylan would have deployed that 1969 voice more often.
	11:22am clarke: ↳ egould @11:22 wow... the waters are strange. not bad. come decide!!
	11:23am clarke: ↳ egould @11:22 i wish i could be more encouraging - because we NEED ya, here!

	11:29am Listener Baby: ↳ Jay & Silvia @11:27 Hello Jay and Silvia. I’ll be in your beautiful country in April. I promise I’ll behave..
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: To say Dylan is the Greatest & Most Significant Songwriter of All Time, while true, is still reductive of his relevance ...not seeing Harmony Singer on the shortlist as such...
	11:30am B R M: So nice to shout out The Losers Lounge! If you would like to see my dear friend Tricia Scotti's version of SAY A LITTLE PRAYER, it is here: www.instagram.com...
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:29 what's your dirt doin' in mister shelley's hole???

	11:31am clarke: Baby promises to behave - LIKE AN ANIMAL!!
	11:31am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:29 Heh. Not claiming he's Art Garfunkel. It's just nice to see every so often.
	11:31am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:30 I dunno, Boss. On this subject, some of the Jesus imagery in Cool Hand Luke is pretty over the top.
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Squints @11:31 Oh I'm in Bob's corner generally.
	11:31am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:31 Maybe Art Garfunkel after unimaginable amounts of whisky.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 not if you don't know jesus.
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:31 Speaking of Art, on the great 500 Songs podcast, the English host refers to him as Art Gar-FOON-kull, emphasis on the penultimate syllable, which is unsettling.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:32 those pesky brtis/
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:30 The N'Betweens : www.discogs.com...
	11:33am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:32 We were a Godspell family.
	11:34am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:32 Where English? I'd guess somewhere in the north.
	11:34am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:33 then i guess those arms draped over the shovel...
	11:35am Bob: Good late morning! I forget what day it is on the school break
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Song: "I've Been Down That Road Before" by "Hank Williams" i've been down this road before.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:35 hello bob.
	11:36am Hughie Considine: Not sure exactly ... possibly Midlands? Definitely not London.
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I've Been Down That Road Before" by "Hank Williams" d. January 1, 1953 ...if he'd lasted just a few more years into the RawkaRollaz. What you figure ??...
	11:36am lpfnrobin: I gotta road to go on - M Shelly see you next year same to all here HYN
	11:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:34 The overhead shot after the egg-eating contest, he's laid out with a beatific smile like a Renaissance painting.
	11:37am gf2002: End of year list...Probably the best song I heard all year was Dreamerjazz, David Rodriguez, and his cover of Now And Then. Thanks to Michael for playing this #1 hit. David nailed the 1963/64 Beatles sound on that one, I'd argue he made it a better record as a result.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:36 that was judas!
	11:37am clarke: new year's nachos!!!!
	11:38am Jim the Poet: I’m usually in Bellevue New Year’s Eve

	11:39am common: watched phantom of paradise last eve. great! hello!
	11:39am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:38 it has been a while, but that is a great one!! comes from a chandler short story!
	11:39am common: ↳ gf2002 @11:38 so good
	11:40am paul: ↳ Song: "Let It Rock (live)" by "Chuck Berry" Is this from the Chuck Berry TV Special 1972?
	11:40am Hughie Considine: Just saw that Richard Romanus, Michael in "Mean Streets," has passed away.
	11:40am Dano59: Weird traditions in a couple towns here - standing in front of someone's house in Corning as lighted numbers change; or, same thing, the Ithaca College towers on a hill from a distance.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:40 he called us mooks!
	11:41am Jim the Poet: The box sets are hot! Hitsville usa mowtown singles
	11:42am gf2002: What a great noir, great performances all around. I'll watch anything that Sam Fuller was involved with. I'm due to watch an expanded edition of The Big Red One I picked up in the last few years, I've only seen the original cut and it's still one of my favorites.
	11:42am Jim the Poet: Cobra records story
	11:42am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:40 Wasn't he also Dr Melfi's husband in The Sopranos. And Mike Damone is his brother or cousin.
	11:42am Jim the Poet: Ultimate yardbirds
	11:42am clarke: what u talkin' bout Rog??
	11:43am Jim the Poet: Del Shannon 1961-1990
	11:43am Squints: They "hey HEY hey" is my opening is copped directely from Rerun on WHN.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:42 i'm into fuller - but the HUGEST fuller fan ain't hear this morning: Frank!
	11:43am 2/3 of the Perrin Family: ↳ Song: "Haulin'" by "Freddie Perrin" cool
	11:44am Bob: Movie time? There's a new movie out there called The Iron Claw that's getting a lot of praise. DON'T FALL FOR IT!! It's so bad. Interesting and mostly true, unbelievable story about a wrestling family. So bad.
	11:44am Jim the Poet: The jewel Paula records story
	11:44am paul: ↳ Squints @11:43 Hey hey hey is what the other guy said. Dwayne?
	11:44am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Story In Your Eyes" by "Fountains Of Wayne" I love this version.
	11:45am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Story In Your Eyes" by "Fountains Of Wayne" I played the original of this last night. An all time #1 Hit.
	11:45am Alan in Marblehead: ↳ Song: "Haulin'" by "Freddie Perrin" Did he happen to write the theme to "The People's Court"?
	11:45am dale: i WILL show up when i hear a moodies song...
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:44 good to know!
	11:45am Michael Shelley: ↳ myron feld @11:44 I believe you played it on your recent drop in!
	11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:42 Yes! I mean, he did other stuff, but to me he'll always be Michael in Mean Streets, or, as Johnny Boy says to him "D.D. Disappointed dunski." I memorized long portions of Mean Streets, like the character in Diner who goes around quoting Sweet Smell of Success. BTW, the host of 500 Songs is indeed from the north, Manchester. Or as you might call it, Manchestah.
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Song: "Story In Your Eyes" by "Fountains Of Wayne" Holy moley. What's this from?
	11:45am Jim the Poet: Fats Waller if you gotta ask you ain’t got it
	11:45am Michael Shelley: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @11:45 I THOUGH THE SAME!!!
	11:45am JimB: IMO Ron Howard modeled elements of American Graffitti on Cooley High, e.g., coming of age at a certain time, period music, and a “what happened to” segment at the end of the film.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Song: "Story In Your Eyes" by "Fountains Of Wayne" there was a local band when i was a kid at dances that did a SMOKING version of this.
	11:46am Squints: ↳ myron feld @11:44 Nearly fifty years ago. I plead too many shots to the head.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ JimB @11:45 you do know george lucas directed and wrote AG?
	11:46am Hughie Considine: ↳ Jim the Poet @11:45 I love it when poets quote other poets.
	11:47am Fragonard: That’s an unexpected cover! Good!
	11:47am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 Makes me want to hear GarFOONkle in a Daphne Moon voice.
	11:47am clarke: we'll get to the bottom of this.
	11:47am myron feld: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:45 Yes, way way back in April -- you know, the Before Times.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When I think how Covid took Adam Schlesinger I wanna punch an antivaxer. I know that's wrong.
	11:48am Bob: ↳ JimB @11:45 Sorta like Cooley High more than Graffitti
	11:48am Mark: "...a Moody Blues tape on the dashboard"--Mark E. Smith
	11:48am JimB: ↳ clarke @11:46 No, that slipped by me. Interesting.
	11:48am Hughie Considine: I bet selling "American Graffiti" as the title took some doing.
	11:48am clarke: which hand? chording or picking??
	11:48am Dano59: New Year's Eve Movies : Last Night (1998) - Y2K Peter's Friends (1992) Diner (1982 -- NYE 1959) 200 Cigarettes (1999) Strange Days - Y2K Holiday Inn Bachelor Mother (1939)
	11:48am P-90: American Graffiti came first, a few years later they were able to pitch Cooley High as a “black American Graffiti” because AG had been so successful
	11:48am Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:48 I said this the other day to my wife while listening to a FOW playlist
	11:49am Fragonard: Popeil Finger Foods
	11:49am scott: Donner Party Potatoes!
	11:49am gf2002: Besides Pickup On South Street, I watched Finger Man, Inside Job, and Impact...and even though I had seen it before I had to watch Murder By Contract again...one of the all time best and that amazing Perry Botkin guitar soundtrack.
	11:50am myron feld: ↳ Squints @11:45 Squints: I have it on a Japanese copy of "Sky Full of Holes."
	11:50am JimB: ↳ P-90 @11:48 I stand corrected and enlightened.
	11:50am Fragonard: Point me too one
	11:51am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:48 ... and John Prine, the same week (my best friend died on the same day as John, but of a brain tumor)
	11:51am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:49 need to catch Murder By Contract! (right?)
	11:51am Hughie Considine: He was my cousin.
	11:51am Jim the Poet: You guys better hurry Rex is perusing the box sets
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh man ! Sympathies. Like when your finger bleeds on your gittar picking hand. You keep moving it & it doesn't stop.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dano59 @11:51 That's right. Between those two - the loss to Songwriting.
	11:52am Jim the Poet: Box sets are my profile photo
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:51 oh jeez.. condolences!
	11:53am Bob: Amazing vocal sound on this. Must be one of those toilet jobs.
	11:53am P-90: “Box sets are my love language”
	11:53am clarke: 8/10
	11:54am Pedro in Arlington: Anybody watch "Saltburn" on Prime yet? I did last night. Impressive cast, some good parts and then some really forgettable stuff. Can't even remember what happened to the American guy.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:54 i think Hoboken Jack saw it.. but he ain't here - yet.
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Jim the Poet @11:52 Oh man ! BoxSets. Yum yum yum...
	11:55am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:51 It's a must see, one of the most memorable films I've seen from that era. It was also cool to see Herschel Bernardi playing a gangster while he was probably best known at that time for playing a cop on Peter Gunn (he's great in both roles). And the soundtrack is perfect for the film, it's all guitar
	11:56am Squints: ↳ myron feld @11:50 Ah. I went domestic.
	11:56am Squints: ↳ Song: "Coming On Strong" by "Blue Shadows, The" This whole record is so ridiculously great.
	11:56am vic in Longmont: Looking for a good 70's movie? Try Charlie Varrick w/ Walter Matthau. Don Siegal directed
	11:57am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:55 a must to check!!
	11:57am John L: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:54 Yes. I thought it fell apart at the end and was a waste of Richard E. Grant. It also reminded me of a few other films, like "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and a lesser known film called "Something For Evereyone" from 1970. Good central performance, though.
	11:57am Squints: ↳ Song: "I Don't Do Windows" by "O.V. Wright" G G Y
	11:58am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:55 i'm pretty sure i have seen parts of it - the guy sets up for WEEKs before he pulls the job, right?
	11:58am Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:40 Romanus was pretty great in 'Strangers Kiss' and 'Sitting Ducks'
	11:58am clarke: ↳ vic in Longmont @11:56 that IS good - it's been a while!
	11:58am Listener Baby: New Years Eve. East Coast Balldrop. Dinner at friends. Sparkling Wine, ours of course Nothing fancy. Bed by 11.
	11:59am TimG: Not a full service fella
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:58 so... you are on the east coast?? wow!
	12:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:59 Nope, Clarke. I’m old.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:58 any idea what time Green Day is playing? i would tune in just for that!
	12:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Biggest Gossip In Town" by "Rockin' Horse" Numero Uno, Baby!
	12:00pm Dano59: ↳ myron feld @11:50 it was also a digital bonus track from Yep Roc - great version
	12:01pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:58 Yes, that's right, his contractor keeps him waiting in a hotel for weeks to test him, and he can't leave until the phone rings. So he works out in the small hotel room, and that was where Scorcese got the idea for the same setup in Taxi Driver where Travis works out in his small apartment.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @11:58 Not familiar with those. Worth checking out?
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:01 i HAVE seen part of it - and i turned it off because i wanted to see it from the beginning!
	12:02pm Bob: ↳ John L @11:57 Mr Ripley has kind of become one of those can't turn it offs for me. One of the best films of the era.
	12:03pm Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:01 the former's a tense noir drama (he's a gangster, jealous of Peter Coyote) and the latter's a screwball comedy by Henry Jarmusch
	12:03pm clarke: fool's party
	12:03pm gf2002: ↳ vic in Longmont @11:56 Great movie! Make it a double feature and watch The Friends Of Eddie Coyle, same era, filmed in and around Boston. Robert Mitchum. Must see.
	12:04pm Bob: ↳ Song: "Here Today" by "Bobby Vee" Never knew about this
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:03 FoEC is the most depressing film EVER made. and GREAT!
	12:05pm P-90: “Charlie Varrick” also a good double feature with the original “Taking of Pelham 123”
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:04 features a train stop in Pembroke, MA not far from Squintsville!
	12:06pm Juli: Grrrr tastic
	12:06pm David Shortell: ↳ gf2002 @12:03 Did that 1970 George Higgins novel coin the catchphrase "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on"? (It's not in the movie.)
	12:06pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Here Today" by "Bobby Vee" Wow, great choice Michael! One of the few Pet Sounds cover releases from that album's original release era, a few months after the original came out. Also check out God Only Knows by Brenda And The Tabulations, same deal.
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:05 although CV is far superior!
	12:06pm Juli: Hope everyone is alright!!!
	12:06pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Biggest Gossip In Town" by "Rockin' Horse" With Rockin' Horse Singles "Biggest Gossip in Town" / "You Say" (1971 / 7" single / Philips 6006 156)
	12:07pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @12:03 First one sounds like his Mean Streets character, the mobster not getting respect. Gonna track that one down.
	12:07pm Juli: ::::}
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ David Shortell @12:06 i am pretty sure that comes out of the old west.
	12:08pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:04 I love seeing the old buildings and street scenes from early 70's Boston and surrounding areas. Besides being a great movie, it's fun to see the way it used to look.
	12:09pm CH: The commuter rail station where they wait until there's one car left in the parking lot? I thought that was in Sharon.
	12:09pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:05 I am absolutely petitioning to have America's Hometown renamed "Squintsville." Just down from "Otisburg."
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:08 that commuter rail doesn't run anymore to pembroke (i don' think?)
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:09 the last train to squintsville!
	12:10pm Tennessee Jeb: Nice version
	12:11pm Squints: ↳ CH @12:09 Close enough. Closest stop to Pembroke on the Old Colony Line is Halifax, one town inland.
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ CH @12:09 one of them is in sharon - there's another rendevous at pembroke tho
	12:12pm Bob: The Squintsville Penitentiary sounds like a good place as far as prisons would go. Carrot Top Live From Squintsville!
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:12 think they used two locations.
	12:13pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:12 Squintsville Pen. A Johnny Cash song waiting to be written. Sign over the entrance reads, "If you were thinkin', you wouldn'ta thought that."
	12:13pm CH: ↳ clarke @12:13 Got it. Thanks!
	12:14pm greg g: ↳ Song: "Tainted Love (1976 version)" by "Gloria Jones" ultimateclassicrock.com...
	12:14pm Josh: I forgot how amazing the Gloria Jones version of Tainted Love is. Such a BOP.
	12:14pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Aaaaargh what film had this Legrand song in it??
	12:14pm Bob: I shot a man in Squintsville just to watch him rub his eye
	12:14pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Di-Gue-Ding-Ding" by "Michel Legrand" Ding Ding. #1
	12:15pm gf2002: I also watched a YouTube video where a guy goes to the original location of Jim Rockford's trailer home at Paradise Cove, and it's also the beach where the Surfin Safari album cover photo was taken. It's pretty cool, the host's name is Jordan or something...then I did a deep dive on Rockford Files. All that's left is to dig into the DVD box set I still haven't opened.
	12:15pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Di-Gue-Ding-Ding" by "Michel Legrand" It would be hard to put a price on this.
	12:15pm P-90: (thousands of hands reaching to turn the volume up a bit to hear “what Gaylord paid ten dollars for”)
	12:15pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Di-Gue-Ding-Ding" by "Michel Legrand" definitely #1
	12:15pm greg g: ↳ Song: "Di-Gue-Ding-Ding" by "Michel Legrand" Like that opening is this proto Krautrock?? ....Interesting exotica. Id say $10 well spent Gaylord!
	12:15pm Biba McLurex: Good score, Gaylord!
	12:16pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:14 Nobody in Squintsville can shoot straight.
	12:16pm Juli: ↳ Bob @12:14 Lols k
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:15 same!
	12:17pm Hughie Considine: I think the lesson here is if you come across a song on any record called Di-Gue-Ding-Ding, just buy it immediately.
	12:17pm Juli: Oooof must eat Do not enjoy eat
	12:17pm egould: The story about your finger made me want to barf. I hope your finger heals and everything goes back to normal.
	12:17pm greg g: ↳ Song: "The Rainbow" by "Apples In Stereo" Still sounding good these Apples!
	12:17pm clarke: there's a PRE-rockford series that i never heard of, from '71, featuring garner and margolin - Nichols - newly avail on the youtube!
	12:18pm Juli: Starting to eat only when hungry & it starting to stop me from eating at all lol
	12:18pm Hughie Considine: At least Michael didn't post a picture of his pinky. That's the lowest form of social media update, when people post pictures of the knee they just skinned or ankle they just broke. It happens more than it should.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Rainbow" by "Apples In Stereo" yes, robert schneider is in grad school for math (i think) in colorado.
	12:20pm Jim the Poet: Love apples in stereo
	12:20pm People Like Us: ↳ Song: "The Rainbow" by "Apples In Stereo" the chap you're talking about in Apples in Stereo volunteered at the fmu marathon two or three years ago
	12:20pm thesecoronalives: that apples in stereo guitar solo always sounded to me like whatever the beatles were doing with their guitars in the let it be era..
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ thesecoronalives @12:20 that's what he was trying for!
	12:21pm scott: Michael, thank you, thanks man, helping us recover records we missed because time and space and economics and well, we just missed.
	12:21pm People Like Us: ↳ People Like Us @12:20 John Ferguson
	12:21pm Jim the Poet: I’ll be on 10-midnight on New Year’s Eve. Bring your band to the station I’ll throw a microphone out the window
	12:21pm Bill A: Robert from the Apples in Stereo is now a math professor at Michigan Tech University in Houghton Michigan, on the shores of Lake Superior!
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Bill A @12:21 there ya go!
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Bill A @12:21 Do you know if he's still interested in music?
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:22 he did a show in athens 40-Watt last year.
	12:22pm People Like Us: ↳ Bill A @12:21 John Ferguson also went back to school
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ People Like Us @12:20 Oooh!
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:17 apologies!
	12:24pm Bob: ↳ Bill A @12:21 Houghton is a weird place. Lotta drinking. Burlesque queen and Marilyn Manson's ex-wfe Dita Von Tease is from that little town. Don't ask me why I know this other than being in Michigan.
	12:24pm Bill A: Interested, but currently not active. He's a math superstar. He's very pleased that the Elephant Six documentary is out and shedding light on their achievements, however.
	12:24pm PaulRobeson1923: Morninggggggggggggggggggg
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:24 pure.
	12:26pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: ↳ vic in Longmont @11:56 love that one
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: This makes sense. I don't detect much nostalgia for the classic twangy Byrds sounds among the youth of today. Country is much more persistent.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:26 ay mate!~
	12:31pm scott: ...living to 31 is comparable to living to 101.
	12:32pm PaulRobeson1923: Come on baby take a chance with us and meet at the back, of the, blue bus
	12:32pm scott: Tokamak or Toke a Mac?
	12:33pm greg g: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "David Prinz" wow, when you hear about Max's Kansas City , the name Gram Parsons does not leap to mind.
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gram was hanging with Keef Richards so much - it was like there was almost a Byrds-Stones crossover for a moment. A bit of tug of war for him like that. Correct me if I'm wrong. Burrito Bros. notable in the 'Gimme Shelter' movie (Altamont)...
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves Apples In Stereo.
	12:36pm tonyb: Isn’t “Bear” Stanley Owsley?
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "David Prinz" being betrayed by a bandmate is something a lay-person might never understand.
	12:38pm Jim Eigo: Great interview. There were two Dayton's Records. 12th & Bway across from Strand Bookstore and 8th St off of 6th Av near to Electric Ladyland and Happy Tunes Records where I worked in the 70s.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Owsley def called Bear (as per that dancing bear image with Deadheads).
	12:39pm Hubig Pie: David Prinz sounds alot like Andy Breckman man.
	12:40pm greg g: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:39 good point Hubig Pie
	12:41pm clarke: wow! i've heard about the lost gram album!! that would be fantastic!
	12:42pm HyperDose: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:39 That was my first thought
	12:42pm Butch: There is a beau brummel clothing store in mont clair
	12:42pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke Happy New Year.
	12:42pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:41 That's incredibly exciting. It always comes up in his deep bios but nobody seemed to know if it was real. I think Terry Melcher was producing?
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:42 what's on your menu??
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:42 they did some sessions with terry, yes. i'm not sure all of them.
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cue Peter Jackson's AI...
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:42 some with Donn Landee, too.
	12:45pm Joey!: Speaking of the Burrito's...i became friends with Pete Kleinow, who was of course their fantastic slide guy. He had passed on from dementia more than a few years ago.Wonderful musician AND film technician!!
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Joey! @12:45 sneaky pete was awesome - horrible end for a cool cat!
	12:48pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke New Year's Eve: deviled eggs, mushroom spread, feta dip, and stuffed Hungarian peppers. Champagne. New Year's Day: red beans and rice, cheddar biscuits, sauteed kale, and broccoli slaw. A nice pinot noir.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:48 real nice... reallll niiiice!
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Joey! @12:45 Pete Kleinow was celebrated as both of the things I wanted to be if I grew up (...which didn't happen) - a Musician - & a Stop Motion Animator.
	12:49pm Listener Baby: Sneaky Pete. Kleinow is also noteworthy for having composed the Gumby theme song as well as being an animator on the 1960s iteration of the show. I did not know this.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:48 what's in the stuffed hungarian peppers? (asking for a friend)
	12:50pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke thank you.
	12:51pm greg g: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "David Prinz" isnt there a used CD sale happening somewhere today?
	12:53pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke breadcrumbs, parmesan, olive oil, and a secret spice mixture. Simple.
	12:53pm clarke: great interview, AGAIN!!

	12:56pm rx "rexy" scabin: Great interview as usual.

	11:31am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:30 I dunno, Boss. On this subject, some of the Jesus imagery in Cool Hand Luke is pretty over the top.
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Squints @11:31 Oh I'm in Bob's corner generally.
	11:31am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:31 Maybe Art Garfunkel after unimaginable amounts of whisky.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 not if you don't know jesus.
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:31 Speaking of Art, on the great 500 Songs podcast, the English host refers to him as Art Gar-FOON-kull, emphasis on the penultimate syllable, which is unsettling.

	11:34am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:32 Where English? I'd guess somewhere in the north.
	11:34am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:33 then i guess those arms draped over the shovel...
	11:35am Bob: Good late morning! I forget what day it is on the school break
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Song: "I've Been Down That Road Before" by "Hank Williams" i've been down this road before.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:35 hello bob.
	11:36am Hughie Considine: Not sure exactly ... possibly Midlands? Definitely not London.
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I've Been Down That Road Before" by "Hank Williams" d. January 1, 1953 ...if he'd lasted just a few more years into the RawkaRollaz. What you figure ??...
	11:36am lpfnrobin: I gotta road to go on - M Shelly see you next year same to all here HYN
	11:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:34 The overhead shot after the egg-eating contest, he's laid out with a beatific smile like a Renaissance painting.
	11:37am gf2002: End of year list...Probably the best song I heard all year was Dreamerjazz, David Rodriguez, and his cover of Now And Then. Thanks to Michael for playing this #1 hit. David nailed the 1963/64 Beatles sound on that one, I'd argue he made it a better record as a result.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:36 that was judas!
	11:37am clarke: new year's nachos!!!!
	11:38am Jim the Poet: I’m usually in Bellevue New Year’s Eve

	11:40am paul: ↳ Song: "Let It Rock (live)" by "Chuck Berry" Is this from the Chuck Berry TV Special 1972?
	11:40am Hughie Considine: Just saw that Richard Romanus, Michael in "Mean Streets," has passed away.
	11:40am Dano59: Weird traditions in a couple towns here - standing in front of someone's house in Corning as lighted numbers change; or, same thing, the Ithaca College towers on a hill from a distance.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:40 he called us mooks!
	11:41am Jim the Poet: The box sets are hot! Hitsville usa mowtown singles
	11:42am gf2002: What a great noir, great performances all around. I'll watch anything that Sam Fuller was involved with. I'm due to watch an expanded edition of The Big Red One I picked up in the last few years, I've only seen the original cut and it's still one of my favorites.

	11:44am Bob: Movie time? There's a new movie out there called The Iron Claw that's getting a lot of praise. DON'T FALL FOR IT!! It's so bad. Interesting and mostly true, unbelievable story about a wrestling family. So bad.
	11:44am Jim the Poet: The jewel Paula records story
	11:44am paul: ↳ Squints @11:43 Hey hey hey is what the other guy said. Dwayne?
	11:44am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Story In Your Eyes" by "Fountains Of Wayne" I love this version.
	11:45am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Story In Your Eyes" by "Fountains Of Wayne" I played the original of this last night. An all time #1 Hit.

	11:45am Michael Shelley: ↳ myron feld @11:44 I believe you played it on your recent drop in!
	11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:42 Yes! I mean, he did other stuff, but to me he'll always be Michael in Mean Streets, or, as Johnny Boy says to him "D.D. Disappointed dunski." I memorized long portions of Mean Streets, like the character in Diner who goes around quoting Sweet Smell of Success. BTW, the host of 500 Songs is indeed from the north, Manchester. Or as you might call it, Manchestah.
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Song: "Story In Your Eyes" by "Fountains Of Wayne" Holy moley. What's this from?
	11:45am Jim the Poet: Fats Waller if you gotta ask you ain’t got it
	11:45am Michael Shelley: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @11:45 I THOUGH THE SAME!!!
	11:45am JimB: IMO Ron Howard modeled elements of American Graffitti on Cooley High, e.g., coming of age at a certain time, period music, and a “what happened to” segment at the end of the film.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Song: "Story In Your Eyes" by "Fountains Of Wayne" there was a local band when i was a kid at dances that did a SMOKING version of this.
	11:46am Squints: ↳ myron feld @11:44 Nearly fifty years ago. I plead too many shots to the head.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ JimB @11:45 you do know george lucas directed and wrote AG?
	11:46am Hughie Considine: ↳ Jim the Poet @11:45 I love it when poets quote other poets.
	11:47am Fragonard: That’s an unexpected cover! Good!
	11:47am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 Makes me want to hear GarFOONkle in a Daphne Moon voice.
	11:47am clarke: we'll get to the bottom of this.
	11:47am myron feld: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:45 Yes, way way back in April -- you know, the Before Times.

	11:48am Mark: "...a Moody Blues tape on the dashboard"--Mark E. Smith
	11:48am JimB: ↳ clarke @11:46 No, that slipped by me. Interesting.
	11:48am Hughie Considine: I bet selling "American Graffiti" as the title took some doing.
	11:48am clarke: which hand? chording or picking??
	11:48am Dano59: New Year's Eve Movies : Last Night (1998) - Y2K Peter's Friends (1992) Diner (1982 -- NYE 1959) 200 Cigarettes (1999) Strange Days - Y2K Holiday Inn Bachelor Mother (1939)
	11:48am P-90: American Graffiti came first, a few years later they were able to pitch Cooley High as a “black American Graffiti” because AG had been so successful
	11:48am Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:48 I said this the other day to my wife while listening to a FOW playlist
	11:49am Fragonard: Popeil Finger Foods
	11:49am scott: Donner Party Potatoes!
	11:49am gf2002: Besides Pickup On South Street, I watched Finger Man, Inside Job, and Impact...and even though I had seen it before I had to watch Murder By Contract again...one of the all time best and that amazing Perry Botkin guitar soundtrack.
	11:50am myron feld: ↳ Squints @11:45 Squints: I have it on a Japanese copy of "Sky Full of Holes."
	11:50am JimB: ↳ P-90 @11:48 I stand corrected and enlightened.
	11:50am Fragonard: Point me too one
	11:51am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:48 ... and John Prine, the same week (my best friend died on the same day as John, but of a brain tumor)
	11:51am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:49 need to catch Murder By Contract! (right?)
	11:51am Hughie Considine: He was my cousin.
	11:51am Jim the Poet: You guys better hurry Rex is perusing the box sets
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh man ! Sympathies. Like when your finger bleeds on your gittar picking hand. You keep moving it & it doesn't stop.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dano59 @11:51 That's right. Between those two - the loss to Songwriting.
	11:52am Jim the Poet: Box sets are my profile photo
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:51 oh jeez.. condolences!
	11:53am Bob: Amazing vocal sound on this. Must be one of those toilet jobs.
	11:53am P-90: “Box sets are my love language”
	11:53am clarke: 8/10
	11:54am Pedro in Arlington: Anybody watch "Saltburn" on Prime yet? I did last night. Impressive cast, some good parts and then some really forgettable stuff. Can't even remember what happened to the American guy.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:54 i think Hoboken Jack saw it.. but he ain't here - yet.
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Jim the Poet @11:52 Oh man ! BoxSets. Yum yum yum...
	11:55am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:51 It's a must see, one of the most memorable films I've seen from that era. It was also cool to see Herschel Bernardi playing a gangster while he was probably best known at that time for playing a cop on Peter Gunn (he's great in both roles). And the soundtrack is perfect for the film, it's all guitar
	11:56am Squints: ↳ myron feld @11:50 Ah. I went domestic.
	11:56am Squints: ↳ Song: "Coming On Strong" by "Blue Shadows, The" This whole record is so ridiculously great.
	11:56am vic in Longmont: Looking for a good 70's movie? Try Charlie Varrick w/ Walter Matthau. Don Siegal directed
	11:57am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:55 a must to check!!
	11:57am John L: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:54 Yes. I thought it fell apart at the end and was a waste of Richard E. Grant. It also reminded me of a few other films, like "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and a lesser known film called "Something For Evereyone" from 1970. Good central performance, though.
	11:57am Squints: ↳ Song: "I Don't Do Windows" by "O.V. Wright" G G Y
	11:58am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:55 i'm pretty sure i have seen parts of it - the guy sets up for WEEKs before he pulls the job, right?
	11:58am Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:40 Romanus was pretty great in 'Strangers Kiss' and 'Sitting Ducks'
	11:58am clarke: ↳ vic in Longmont @11:56 that IS good - it's been a while!
	11:58am Listener Baby: New Years Eve. East Coast Balldrop. Dinner at friends. Sparkling Wine, ours of course Nothing fancy. Bed by 11.
	11:59am TimG: Not a full service fella
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:58 so... you are on the east coast?? wow!
	12:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:59 Nope, Clarke. I’m old.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:58 any idea what time Green Day is playing? i would tune in just for that!
	12:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Biggest Gossip In Town" by "Rockin' Horse" Numero Uno, Baby!
	12:00pm Dano59: ↳ myron feld @11:50 it was also a digital bonus track from Yep Roc - great version
	12:01pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:58 Yes, that's right, his contractor keeps him waiting in a hotel for weeks to test him, and he can't leave until the phone rings. So he works out in the small hotel room, and that was where Scorcese got the idea for the same setup in Taxi Driver where Travis works out in his small apartment.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @11:58 Not familiar with those. Worth checking out?
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:01 i HAVE seen part of it - and i turned it off because i wanted to see it from the beginning!
	12:02pm Bob: ↳ John L @11:57 Mr Ripley has kind of become one of those can't turn it offs for me. One of the best films of the era.
	12:03pm Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:01 the former's a tense noir drama (he's a gangster, jealous of Peter Coyote) and the latter's a screwball comedy by Henry Jarmusch
	12:03pm clarke: fool's party
	12:03pm gf2002: ↳ vic in Longmont @11:56 Great movie! Make it a double feature and watch The Friends Of Eddie Coyle, same era, filmed in and around Boston. Robert Mitchum. Must see.
	12:04pm Bob: ↳ Song: "Here Today" by "Bobby Vee" Never knew about this
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:03 FoEC is the most depressing film EVER made. and GREAT!
	12:05pm P-90: “Charlie Varrick” also a good double feature with the original “Taking of Pelham 123”
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:04 features a train stop in Pembroke, MA not far from Squintsville!
	12:06pm Juli: Grrrr tastic
	12:06pm David Shortell: ↳ gf2002 @12:03 Did that 1970 George Higgins novel coin the catchphrase "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on"? (It's not in the movie.)
	12:06pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Here Today" by "Bobby Vee" Wow, great choice Michael! One of the few Pet Sounds cover releases from that album's original release era, a few months after the original came out. Also check out God Only Knows by Brenda And The Tabulations, same deal.
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:05 although CV is far superior!
	12:06pm Juli: Hope everyone is alright!!!
	12:06pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Biggest Gossip In Town" by "Rockin' Horse" With Rockin' Horse Singles "Biggest Gossip in Town" / "You Say" (1971 / 7" single / Philips 6006 156)
	12:07pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @12:03 First one sounds like his Mean Streets character, the mobster not getting respect. Gonna track that one down.
	12:07pm Juli: ::::}
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ David Shortell @12:06 i am pretty sure that comes out of the old west.
	12:08pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:04 I love seeing the old buildings and street scenes from early 70's Boston and surrounding areas. Besides being a great movie, it's fun to see the way it used to look.
	12:09pm CH: The commuter rail station where they wait until there's one car left in the parking lot? I thought that was in Sharon.
	12:09pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:05 I am absolutely petitioning to have America's Hometown renamed "Squintsville." Just down from "Otisburg."
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:08 that commuter rail doesn't run anymore to pembroke (i don' think?)
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:09 the last train to squintsville!
	12:10pm Tennessee Jeb: Nice version
	12:11pm Squints: ↳ CH @12:09 Close enough. Closest stop to Pembroke on the Old Colony Line is Halifax, one town inland.
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ CH @12:09 one of them is in sharon - there's another rendevous at pembroke tho
	12:12pm Bob: The Squintsville Penitentiary sounds like a good place as far as prisons would go. Carrot Top Live From Squintsville!
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:12 think they used two locations.
	12:13pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:12 Squintsville Pen. A Johnny Cash song waiting to be written. Sign over the entrance reads, "If you were thinkin', you wouldn'ta thought that."
	12:13pm CH: ↳ clarke @12:13 Got it. Thanks!
	12:14pm greg g: ↳ Song: "Tainted Love (1976 version)" by "Gloria Jones" ultimateclassicrock.com...
	12:14pm Josh: I forgot how amazing the Gloria Jones version of Tainted Love is. Such a BOP.
	12:14pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Aaaaargh what film had this Legrand song in it??
	12:14pm Bob: I shot a man in Squintsville just to watch him rub his eye
	12:14pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Di-Gue-Ding-Ding" by "Michel Legrand" Ding Ding. #1
	12:15pm gf2002: I also watched a YouTube video where a guy goes to the original location of Jim Rockford's trailer home at Paradise Cove, and it's also the beach where the Surfin Safari album cover photo was taken. It's pretty cool, the host's name is Jordan or something...then I did a deep dive on Rockford Files. All that's left is to dig into the DVD box set I still haven't opened.
	12:15pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Di-Gue-Ding-Ding" by "Michel Legrand" It would be hard to put a price on this.
	12:15pm P-90: (thousands of hands reaching to turn the volume up a bit to hear “what Gaylord paid ten dollars for”)
	12:15pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Di-Gue-Ding-Ding" by "Michel Legrand" definitely #1
	12:15pm greg g: ↳ Song: "Di-Gue-Ding-Ding" by "Michel Legrand" Like that opening is this proto Krautrock?? ....Interesting exotica. Id say $10 well spent Gaylord!
	12:15pm Biba McLurex: Good score, Gaylord!
	12:16pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:14 Nobody in Squintsville can shoot straight.
	12:16pm Juli: ↳ Bob @12:14 Lols k
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:15 same!
	12:17pm Hughie Considine: I think the lesson here is if you come across a song on any record called Di-Gue-Ding-Ding, just buy it immediately.
	12:17pm Juli: Oooof must eat Do not enjoy eat
	12:17pm egould: The story about your finger made me want to barf. I hope your finger heals and everything goes back to normal.
	12:17pm greg g: ↳ Song: "The Rainbow" by "Apples In Stereo" Still sounding good these Apples!
	12:17pm clarke: there's a PRE-rockford series that i never heard of, from '71, featuring garner and margolin - Nichols - newly avail on the youtube!
	12:18pm Juli: Starting to eat only when hungry & it starting to stop me from eating at all lol
	12:18pm Hughie Considine: At least Michael didn't post a picture of his pinky. That's the lowest form of social media update, when people post pictures of the knee they just skinned or ankle they just broke. It happens more than it should.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Rainbow" by "Apples In Stereo" yes, robert schneider is in grad school for math (i think) in colorado.
	12:20pm Jim the Poet: Love apples in stereo
	12:20pm People Like Us: ↳ Song: "The Rainbow" by "Apples In Stereo" the chap you're talking about in Apples in Stereo volunteered at the fmu marathon two or three years ago
	12:20pm thesecoronalives: that apples in stereo guitar solo always sounded to me like whatever the beatles were doing with their guitars in the let it be era..
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ thesecoronalives @12:20 that's what he was trying for!
	12:21pm scott: Michael, thank you, thanks man, helping us recover records we missed because time and space and economics and well, we just missed.
	12:21pm People Like Us: ↳ People Like Us @12:20 John Ferguson
	12:21pm Jim the Poet: I’ll be on 10-midnight on New Year’s Eve. Bring your band to the station I’ll throw a microphone out the window
	12:21pm Bill A: Robert from the Apples in Stereo is now a math professor at Michigan Tech University in Houghton Michigan, on the shores of Lake Superior!
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Bill A @12:21 there ya go!
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Bill A @12:21 Do you know if he's still interested in music?
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:22 he did a show in athens 40-Watt last year.
	12:22pm People Like Us: ↳ Bill A @12:21 John Ferguson also went back to school
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ People Like Us @12:20 Oooh!
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:17 apologies!
	12:24pm Bob: ↳ Bill A @12:21 Houghton is a weird place. Lotta drinking. Burlesque queen and Marilyn Manson's ex-wfe Dita Von Tease is from that little town. Don't ask me why I know this other than being in Michigan.
	12:24pm Bill A: Interested, but currently not active. He's a math superstar. He's very pleased that the Elephant Six documentary is out and shedding light on their achievements, however.
	12:24pm PaulRobeson1923: Morninggggggggggggggggggg
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:24 pure.
	12:26pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: ↳ vic in Longmont @11:56 love that one
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: This makes sense. I don't detect much nostalgia for the classic twangy Byrds sounds among the youth of today. Country is much more persistent.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:26 ay mate!~
	12:31pm scott: ...living to 31 is comparable to living to 101.
	12:32pm PaulRobeson1923: Come on baby take a chance with us and meet at the back, of the, blue bus
	12:32pm scott: Tokamak or Toke a Mac?
	12:33pm greg g: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "David Prinz" wow, when you hear about Max's Kansas City , the name Gram Parsons does not leap to mind.
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gram was hanging with Keef Richards so much - it was like there was almost a Byrds-Stones crossover for a moment. A bit of tug of war for him like that. Correct me if I'm wrong. Burrito Bros. notable in the 'Gimme Shelter' movie (Altamont)...
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves Apples In Stereo.
	12:36pm tonyb: Isn’t “Bear” Stanley Owsley?
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "David Prinz" being betrayed by a bandmate is something a lay-person might never understand.
	12:38pm Jim Eigo: Great interview. There were two Dayton's Records. 12th & Bway across from Strand Bookstore and 8th St off of 6th Av near to Electric Ladyland and Happy Tunes Records where I worked in the 70s.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Owsley def called Bear (as per that dancing bear image with Deadheads).
	12:39pm Hubig Pie: David Prinz sounds alot like Andy Breckman man.
	12:40pm greg g: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:39 good point Hubig Pie
	12:41pm clarke: wow! i've heard about the lost gram album!! that would be fantastic!
	12:42pm HyperDose: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:39 That was my first thought
	12:42pm Butch: There is a beau brummel clothing store in mont clair
	12:42pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke Happy New Year.
	12:42pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:41 That's incredibly exciting. It always comes up in his deep bios but nobody seemed to know if it was real. I think Terry Melcher was producing?
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:42 what's on your menu??
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:42 they did some sessions with terry, yes. i'm not sure all of them.
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cue Peter Jackson's AI...
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:42 some with Donn Landee, too.
	12:45pm Joey!: Speaking of the Burrito's...i became friends with Pete Kleinow, who was of course their fantastic slide guy. He had passed on from dementia more than a few years ago.Wonderful musician AND film technician!!
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Joey! @12:45 sneaky pete was awesome - horrible end for a cool cat!
	12:48pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke New Year's Eve: deviled eggs, mushroom spread, feta dip, and stuffed Hungarian peppers. Champagne. New Year's Day: red beans and rice, cheddar biscuits, sauteed kale, and broccoli slaw. A nice pinot noir.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:48 real nice... reallll niiiice!
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Joey! @12:45 Pete Kleinow was celebrated as both of the things I wanted to be if I grew up (...which didn't happen) - a Musician - & a Stop Motion Animator.
	12:49pm Listener Baby: Sneaky Pete. Kleinow is also noteworthy for having composed the Gumby theme song as well as being an animator on the 1960s iteration of the show. I did not know this.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:48 what's in the stuffed hungarian peppers? (asking for a friend)
	12:50pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke thank you.
	12:51pm greg g: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "David Prinz" isnt there a used CD sale happening somewhere today?
	12:53pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke breadcrumbs, parmesan, olive oil, and a secret spice mixture. Simple.
	12:53pm clarke: great interview, AGAIN!!
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:53 methinks some paprika??? now you have to kill me.

	12:54pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke no paprika.
	12:54pm Hubig Pie: Budget Tapes and Records in Ft.Collins, Colo 1973, where every lp was $2.99.
	12:54pm Bob: I could listen to an hour of that guy just talking about record stores
	12:54pm clarke: whew, i thought i was a goner!
	12:54pm Rich: Was that Andy Breckman lol ??
	12:55pm MFlynn: That was an awesome interview Michael! Thanks for putting that together. Great to see someone so passionate about what they do!!!!
	12:55pm greg g: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "David Prinz" Very knowledgeable guy and seems less prickly than Andy Breckman. Kudos Michael! Enjoyed it! Best for the New Year everyone!
	12:55pm egould: Thanks Michael. Wonderful conversation.
	12:56pm rx "rexy" scabin: Great interview as usual.
