	11:18am Squeaky Dave: The Yolks = awesome Kinksploitatiion!!!
	11:18am Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @11:15 One of the best singers I have ever seen
	11:19am paul: Love that coaster!
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:18 she was in good voice, yesterday - despiet her guitar crapping out.
	11:21am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:15 Oh man
	11:21am clarke: a disaster that was kinda cool
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Squeaky Dave @11:18 Yes.
	11:22am reimomo: i thought it was the how soon is now intro for a second
	11:22am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" by "Chicks, The" One of my favorite Beatles songs. What a goddamn chorus!
	11:22am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:22 Heartily seconded.
	11:22am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:17 That sounds fantastic.
	11:23am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" by "Chicks, The" Making the Buck Owensness explicit
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Beatles For Sale' - Best Beatles Album :D ...not really...
	11:24am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. I liked that miscue.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:22 i'm not sure why they just didn't mic her acoustic?? ha ha. there were only about ten extra mics on this stage.
	11:26am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:24 That is weird. People get attached to one thing, I guess.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:24 i tend to agree!!
	11:26am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:26 the stage crew were idiots - other things happened
	11:27am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Come On and Dance" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" This is toad-ally No. 1!
	11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: Beatles For Sale is my favorite Beatles album!
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Song: "Come On and Dance" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" RIP!! saw him several times, of course (he did NOT play that much, tho).
	11:27am Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:24 Best? Maybe not. But my fave of the 'early" era.
	11:28am Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:27 People always point out how exhausted they look on the cover -- but the music sure ain't exhausted.
	11:29am Squints: ↳ Song: "Come On and Dance" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" Not for nothin', but... G G Y, here.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 there's so many myths.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 the photo was taken at dawn after they had to stay up all night
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:29 ovah heayah!!
	11:30am Hughie Considine: Right, so they were exhausted.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:30 people just repeat the myth.
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:31 A myth is as good as a mile.
	11:33am paul: Calumet Farms 15-year-old bourbon. Got a bottle of that and the glass for my 70th birthday.
	11:33am paul: Ooops. 70th birthday.
	11:35am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:35am clarke: Sonny Curtis seems to be ridin' in my car, theyah.
	11:35am Squints: ↳ Song: "My Little Girl" by "Crickets, The" I'm pretty sure it's Dave Edmunds's "Deborah" (also a great song) that sounds like this.
	11:35am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:35 Cah.
	11:36am clarke: yah.
	11:36am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:36 Ayuh.
	11:36am clarke: Frank - movies??
	11:36am PatrickMC: Nick Lowe always nicks from the best
	11:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "My Little Girl" by "Crickets, The" I can still see him banging out the "Peggy Sue" rhythm on the front seat of the car in the Buddy Holly Story.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:36 It's been a sparse couple of weeks, but managed to get "Three Amigos" in last night. You?
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Writer Tim Riley called 'For Sale' the yin between two yang (upbeat) Movies. The dark side of peak Beatlemania. Which is ...great, right ?! I think of McGuinn saying TheBeatles were FolkRawk from the get-go, matter of fact (tho 'RubberSoul' gets all the cred for that)... & TheBeatles never stood still - tho 'For Sale' has a lot of Classic R'n'R Covers on it. So the 'Early' period is not entirely homogenous... Fellow who does 'Cocaine & Rhinestones' likes to lambast TheBeatles' attempts @ Kuntry...
	11:39am Cooh John: Maybe the 'The Beatles' heard the Crickets?
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: I wish Kitchen and Fulks would come near here.
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: Kirchen
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:38 funny, never seen that, ha ha. need to, i guess.
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Yeah, I thought it was strange that they had 4. I figured maybe three with Nancy also doing vocals, but...
	11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: I saw Kirchen a million years ago and he was amazing.
	11:40am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:39 See, now, I think that, even though it's kind of a throwaway, "What's Goes On" has a ridiculously great groove. No way Buck doesn't approve. Especially since he got paid for their cover.
	11:40am clarke: FOUR guitar players. yes. which makes roger fisher pretty cool for doing the work of THREE back in the day.
	11:41am PNX: I schlepped it out to Outpost in the Burbs last night. Nice venue, show was outrageously good. Thanks for the rec Michael!
	11:41am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:39 It was decent, as I remember it being. None of their finest work, however. For some reason, it's gotten more and more popular over the years.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:40 one of the guys was just mimicking nancy anyway??
	11:42am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:41 I guess? I didn't watch the video, I just heard their segment as it was airing.
	11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:39 That fella knows a lot about country - he also has a podcast called Your Favorite Band Sucks, which lambastes many revered bands, from the Beatles to Wilco.
	11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "A Certain Girl" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" Nice! Heard this version for the first time about an hour ago and I get to hear it again now!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 Yeah. Cocaine & Rhinestones is the best ...but I've had no interest in the other.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:42 i finally saw bogdanovich's Nickelodeon - what a jumbled mess!!
	11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "June 27, 2009 Excerpt" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" This is gold. What a voice.
	11:44am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:43 Yeah, could've been better but it has it's charms.
	11:44am PatrickMC: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 That sounds wonderfully refreshing
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:44 well-intentioned, for sure.
	11:46am StuartR: ↳ Song: "A Certain Girl" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" Wonderful tune, conversation clip with Clarence
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:44 coming on the heels of Paper Moon - ouch!!
	11:47am clarke: converating with royalty!!
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ PatrickMC @11:44 It's a little like seeing a good friend getting slapped -- but occasionally deservedly so.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "June 27, 2009 Excerpt" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" Seems a real great fella.
	11:49am Mattynotimes: What movie was this in?
	11:49am drr: I was out of town all week, so I only had YouTube movies, but I saw two good ones. The Suspect (1940, dir. Edward Siodmak) Charles Laughton wants to marry Ella Raines but has a horrible wife to deal with first. The Letter (1944, dir. William Wyler) Bette Davis, wife of a rubber plantation manager, shoots an importunate suitor in the first minute of the movie. But is there more to the story?
	11:49am John L: ↳ Mattynotimes @11:49 Diner.
	11:49am Mattynotimes: The lost boys that’s right!
	11:49am PatrickMC: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 A much needed tonic. The Creem aesthetic. Would love to have seen Creem on Wilco.
	11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ Mattynotimes @11:49 One of Daniel Stern's finest moments.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ drr @11:49 both of those are marv!!!!
	11:50am Mattynotimes: And diner and maybe a couple others
	11:50am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Ain't Got No Home" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" All time best 45
	11:51am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:46 Well, you can't hit a homer every time you step to the plate.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ drr @11:49 The Letter came from an actual real story in australia. also, probably influenced Wayne carson
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:51 that ain't what Hand said.
	11:52am Mattynotimes: Daniel Stern as narrator on wonder years and Diner are my two faves. Although he is great as Marv in home alone
	11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ PatrickMC @11:49 Well it's funny, I really wanted to hear what he would say about Wilco because I've always found them to be a really really good band but not a great one or one I find very interesting, and I thought he was pretty insightful about their shortcomings. Then I listened to the one about REM and it seemed to be on a lower plane, critique-wise. His partner is not on his level and that doesn't help.
	11:52am nycmusicnerd: $2 CDs?? I'm salivating already.
	11:52am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:52 Hank!
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Poppy's Disco" by "Midnight Stars" This is such a Shelley classic.
	11:53am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:52 Talk to the Hank.
	11:53am PatrickMC: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:52 You've sold me! Thx
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:53 i don't think hank done it this way.
	11:54am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:52 I always thought Hank O'Hare would be a cool alias.
	11:55am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:54 what? you need another one?
	11:56am clarke: i played CBGB's - it was fun, but too many bands on the bill, etc.
	11:56am Frank In Queens: CB's DID have great sound. The booking, however, in my day left a LOT to be desired.
	11:56am PatrickMC: Live at CB's always in the cutout bin and one of the worst covers ever
	11:57am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:55 You can't have too many.
	11:58am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 moNEY gRAB
	11:58am Dennis Diken: I was in the audience at CBGB the nite this was recorded
	11:58am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Need A Million (live at CBGBs)" by "Laughing Do... This is punk rock
	11:58am johnk77: cbgbs was early in offering multitrack recording at a venue also mink deville moved from sf back to nyc mostly to get in on the cbgbs scene
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:57 speaking of aliases, the new series Ripley sticks very close to Patricia Highsmith's novels. recommend!
	11:58am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I Need A Million (live at CBGBs)" by "Laughing Do... This was hard rock then
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CBGBs sounded good ! Where else such insights.
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:58 how often would you guys sneak into the city as a yout???
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bad toilets & good sound. Is it so much to ask in this world.
	11:59am Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:58 It was just nearly impossible to get gigs there. They would book months in advance and then not pick up the phone until it was time to start booking the next half of the year.
	11:59am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "I Need A Million (live at CBGBs)" by "Laughing Do... Reminds me of CBGB regulars The Dictators
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:58 Ah! This is certainly on the list!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...seeing as now good toilets & bad sound are more likely...
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:00 so wel done! but subtle.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:58 It's on the list fer sher
	12:01pm Mr. Jones: I'm going to see Dennis next month in Riverhead. Yippee!
	12:01pm clarke: what bass did you have MS??
	12:01pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:00 Good. Looking forward to it. We're fans of Andrew Scott.
	12:02pm Montmaster J: The Mundanes!
	12:03pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:59 They were always changing bills around to accommodate label showcases... happened a lot to me. BUT, loved playing the CBs Gallery - different booker.
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:01 he is sublime in that.
	12:04pm Squints: ↳ Montmaster J @12:02 Saw The Mundanes open for The Ramones at Stage West (pre-Hartford Agora) in 1979, maybe 1980. "It's Friday night and I want to go the disco but my friends tell me it's wrong."
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:03 i caught Idaho at the Gallery one sunday afternoon - one of the best things i have ever happened upon!
	12:05pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:01 This was a HONDO I bought from Jeff Hoffman in 10th grade for $25 - I spray painted it red. Photo of it in the lower right hand corner: f4.bcbits.com...
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:03 The Gallery was always fun. Played there a few times too.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:05 that ain't no toy, son!
	12:05pm Dennis Diken: @clarke - allatime! we’d park at the train station in Hoboken (quite ez back then) & take the Path (35 cents) to beat the tunnel toll!
	12:06pm Montmaster J: ↳ Squints @12:04 Cool. They were very nice....I particularly remember Dean Mundane.
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:05 did you have fake ID's?
	12:06pm kwatts: ↳ Song: "Big Love" by "Camera Obscura" That was delightful.
	12:07pm clarke: good gosh, Never My Love just might be.....
	12:08pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Montmaster J @12:06 The were encouraging and amused for sure
	12:08pm Montmaster J: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:05 That red bass unit definitely functioned!
	12:09pm Dennis Diken: @clarke - some of us did
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seeing as the market on any Old Instrument is insane anymore. Bonus if you can play it...
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:09 ha ha ha. good ol' days.
	12:10pm Glistener MW: The 5th Dimension are great, but, I’ve always thought they could really use a song about ballooning
	12:11pm clarke: so did jim webb.
	12:11pm clarke: funny -- i just found out that i can TYPE like a frog!!! rrrrrrr...
	12:14pm clarke: yes! 21 ruined live music!!
	12:14pm PaulRobeson1924: Hunting license at 13
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: My 20s and 30s are a good lesson about drinking.
	12:14pm PaulRobeson1924: Morningggggggggg
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: I wouldn't recommend it. Lol
	12:14pm Moammar: ↳ Glistener MW @12:10 heh heh heh
	12:16pm clarke: knowing when to start drinking is not as important as knowing when to STOP.
	12:16pm Janie Heath: It’s because too many young people died drunk driving. In my opinion, what we need is better public transportation. Most countries allow people to drink at 18 or even younger.
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: When you're 18, you think you're old enough to drink, but when you're kid is 18, you realize how young they are.
	12:16pm Sufferwords: keep it at 18- those three years of figuring out how to procure booze is an education in life equal to course work
	12:16pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:16 Yep. n+1 being a variable is the tricky part.
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: Southern Comfort. We tore apart a friend's on-campus apartment one night. That was my last time drinking that!
	12:17pm Squints: I love IPAs to death. Stopped drinking 'em because I don't like the guy that comes out sometimes.
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: The problem with drinking is you can never tell who is going to be an alcoholic. Testing it out is the gamble, right? I tell people that getting drunk isn't nearly as much fun as people might seem.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:17 ha ha ha.
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: First time drinking ...Apricot Brandy ! :D ...hey - what's the big deal. I can swallow little glass after glass of this stuff no problem...
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:17 i dunno - it is until it isn't.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Every Boy And Every Girl" by "NRBQ" The Voice!!!!
	12:20pm clarke: joey is doing really well - his cancer seems in remission, etc. got a nice photo and all.
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:18 Yeah. And that's the issue.
	12:20pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:20 This makes me happy.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:20 me, too!! was worried for a while, theyah.
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Instant A-Hole ...Just Add Alcohol' ...he may not be Alcoholic, but he's a Problem Drinker ...when he Drinks ...it's a Problem... Well, the stuff is a Disinhibitor. & some stuff should just stay Inhibited. Set & Setting for all Drugs : Where your head @. No really. How you feelin'. & where you gonna do it @ - with Whom, & What you gonna do...
	12:22pm kta: When I graduated high school in upstate NY, the drinking age was 18. The day we graduated, we were across the street at the Old Coach, in our caps and gowns and the old guys were buying us drinks - as to welcome us into adulthood. I thought it was cool. And I think when you graduate high school, are now able to be charged with a felony, be drafted, be able to vote - well, all these things are entry into adulthood. I think you just have to teach your kids about the dangers and show them good habits, and let them know they can trust you if they come to with any questions or issues. (and there's a lot more than just booze to teach them.) I think young people at 18 are fully capable of being adults if you let them.
	12:22pm drr: @clarke: you know we are playing tonight?
	12:22pm PatrickMC: Always thought modeling responsible drinking at home helps. I didn't have that. If my 17+ kids want a glass of wine with dinner etc., OK.
	12:22pm luka: get that rumple minze away from me
	12:22pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Sufferwords @12:16 That's why a lot of college presidents support lowering the drinking age to 18. If it's out in the open, college staff can monitor it. When it's being done behind closed doors, they might not know what's happening until it's too late.
	12:22pm listener phat in Lincoln: All I'm saying is I don't miss drinking (smoking cigarettes, on the other hand).
	12:23pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:21 I had a reason six years ago to step on the acclerator. Not a good one. But I had one. Still have it. But I don't let that drive me now.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:22 i was just reminded of that thing that i did know, yes. yes??
	12:23pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:23 OK, just wondering if the word got out.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:22 Holy Diver???
	12:24pm PatrickMC: Bring the drinking age back to 18 and the voting age back to 21.
	12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Then when you get Stoned or Trip instead - the shock that you can be Altered & still fully Aware ...long as I don't have to Remember anything... You aren't really There anymore with Alcohol (& some other things)...
	12:24pm Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:22 I do think that furtiveness propels or certainly accelerates binging. If it's legal and OK out in the open, maybe not every occasion has to be Festivus.
	12:25pm Dennis: Clarence White is totally amazing on this track. As usual.
	12:25pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:23 Checkpoint's! With Happy Talk. We're first (9:30).
	12:25pm PNX: This is a handy tool for getting past some paywalls. It seems to work on that Sidekicks article: 12ft.io
	12:25pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Your Gentle Way of Loving Me" by "Byrds, The" I was going to clicky-star this. But I've learned to pause a second beforehand. Because, whaddya know, I already had.
	12:26pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Squints @12:24 Exactly.
	12:26pm Hughie Considine: Back when a freshmen could all get super plastered in their first weeks of being away from home, you have to figure that a lot of people did things they regretted while very drunk. Which is to say, if there weren't school-sponsored kegs to loosen them up, things would have been very different. And they wouldn't have earned that nickname they could never get rid of for the next three years.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:25 it's all coming back to me, now, ha ha ha.
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:25 It's always reassuring to know that past-you had good taste!
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Still - if you can Drink Moderately enuff - it's very effective for Relaxing a bit. Which - as you get Older in this Society - is far too elusive a thing...
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:25 i haven't had occasion to go to Checkpoint Charlies in FOREVS!!
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:27 And some of us just don't care for weed anymore.
	12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:28 I haven't taken anything illegal since 1987 !!!
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:29 what about that one-way sign???
	12:29pm Hubig Pie: ↳ drr @12:25 Does the Happy Talk band still have that Morning 40 guy on the guitar?
	12:30pm drr: Me neither. It might have been 20 years.
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:28 ...face it. We turn into Homer Simpson. Open the doors of perception ...to this Society ?! No way. Gimme a Beer...
	12:30pm Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:27 Yep. I find now that feat of strength I embrace, the enjoyable challenge, is to enjoy my lagers and stouts and work the pace so I'm just relaxed and hanging. I get a little chuffed with myself when afterward I realized how small the number is and how well is nursed 'em.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:29 i don't think so.
	12:31pm wenzo: Waddupdoe
	12:31pm drr: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:29 They have Alex McMurray - was he a Morning 40 guy? Actually I think you're thinking of Bailey Smith. He runs Bud Rip's now.
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:29 It's almost TOO legal here these days!
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:30 It's a skill, Squints. You should be chuffed!
	12:32pm Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:31 "Get chuffed" is a slogan to live by.
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Squints @12:30 It helped I was 5'11" & just 125lbs. most of my life then. Had no delusions of being Keef Richards : My limits were near & clear. Also ...always poor. I wasn't offered Coke. Which makes me an odd little Rawker ~ CounterCulturalist for sure...
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Eu Ja Tenho Voce" by "Som Três" these guys "got chuffed"!!
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:31 Yeah. & maybe my relation to ti will too. Someday. Hell I'm ancient awlready...
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:34 ...*relation to cannabis may change...
	12:35pm John L: My college had a bar on campus and, since I was in a 21 and older dorm, we were allowed keg parties. I also developed a taste for Wild Turkey, which resulted in a few blackouts. One especially stupid night I also did mushrooms and coke; the next day several people commented that I looked like death. I'm just lucky I didn't hurt anyone else.
	12:36pm P-90: Yes! FauxTown is indeed a thing
	12:36pm Hubig Pie: ↳ drr @12:31 Alex McMurray was in Royal Fingerbowl. Loved that band. They played Dragon's Den alot. Still have a copy of their only release "Happy Birthday, Saboo" with the self love song "Fistfull of Love".
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:34 Weed stores have proliferated far beyond what I would think demand could possibly be. I don't get it. It's worse than frame stores! There's one on my block, THE Puff N' Stuff, and I don't think I've ever seen a customer in it. The GRAND OPENING balloons are starting to look a little sad.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...speaking of cannabis - one issue is Tolerance. The same amount regularly doesn't have the seem effects. I loved getting High ...got tired of being Stoned.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:37 same effects ...I'm not stoned now just a sht typist...
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Today Will Have No Night" by "Jackie DeShannon" echo chambers!!!
	12:38pm Gerry from Miami: Yo, SQUINTS! I usually listen to Brainen's show on the GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO stream in real time on Saturdays and this show on the Archives later, but decided to join Mr. Shelley's program today. Good stuff to listen to and interesting comments as well. Hope you are luxuriating in your weekend respite from work. And a fond farewell to the FROGMAN!
	12:38pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Today Will Have No Night" by "Jackie DeShannon" Love Jackie De
	12:39pm clarke: Echo Chambers - good pseudonym?
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:36 Just the Latest Thing. Let's all open Used CDs Stores. Who shall last Five Years...
	12:39pm Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:32 Yep. 5'8-9" and 135 soaking wet. Possibly only a weak bladder saved my life then. Smoked dope if it was offered but wasn't going to let that stuff cut into my vinyl habit. Took actual heed of the 6th grade drug education (1971). "That'll kill ya. Check. That'll kill. Check." Stopped even smoking dope and pretty gave up hard liquor mid sophomore year in college. Recognized my finitude. Pretty much a beer guy since then. I've smoked dope on ceremonial occasions or to be polite with friends maybe a half dozen times since. I'll nurse a whisky before singing but that's about all. I do like a gin martini to start if the weather's nice. But just one.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ PatrickMC @12:38 Sure do.
	12:39pm HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:36 Over 95% of weed stores in NYC are illegal and scam customers by selling terpene sprayed Delta 8 hemp as cannabis flower. Beware brother, beware!
	12:40pm Karl: Turns out it is a good afternoon for hits
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ HyperDose @12:39 I have nothing to beware of! And would like to see your sources.
	12:41pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:38 Enjoying this, Gerry, then heading to the pub at 3pm and meeting She Of The Big Brown Eyes for dinner and an acoustic duo afterward. Loved with Bob's show was on the main feed right before this. I catch it on the Drummer feed occasionally.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Squints @12:39 & all the Heroes who Overdosed. This was never lost on me. Why it has been on so many I'll never understand. Well ...I can understand wanting to feel better in a moment matters more than anything. Of course - Truth is the first victim of Prohibition - just as in War.
	12:41pm Squints: Don't hate me because I metabolize beautifully.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ HyperDose @12:39 Ugh.
	12:42pm Squints: ↳ HyperDose @12:39 So, they're.....moving rope?
	12:42pm florida: diggin a hole , buddy
	12:42pm P.Welles: From Quebec, normal to have wine with meals in the teens.
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Turn On Your Love Light" by "Jerry Lee Lewis" still alive, right?
	12:43pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Janie Heath @12:16 That was my argument - traffic death stats have changed
	12:43pm San Pedro Girl: Hi Michael and all!
	12:43pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Turn On Your Love Light" by "Jerry Lee Lewis" JLL's singing always great and very underappreciated
	12:43pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:42 uhhhh.....
	12:43pm PaulRobeson1924: Alcohol is a strong drug
	12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:43 No small concern.
	12:43pm evancuts: Our RA freshman year made us shave the back of his neck and his back. He was so hairy it would grow back every week. He looked just like Erik Estrada and everyone called him Ponch. This was when the drinking age in NY was still 18.
	12:43pm steveo: clean and sober since 1853
	12:43pm John L: A local bar just lost it's liquor license for underage drinking. Out of 200 patrons 120 were underage.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:43 okay. i should never play dead or alive with anyone.
	12:44pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:44 It was 2023 or 2022.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:44 yes, i kinda remember that. ha ha.
	12:45pm Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:41 I have a buddy here who plays guitar. Sometimes covers "The Needle And The Damage Done." Great song and he plays it well. I have to go outside for two minutes. If I'm going to hear Neil Young about that, it needs to be "Tonight's The Night" so I can howl.
	12:45pm drr: ↳ Song: "The Glory Of Love" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" wow, I love this.
	12:45pm clarke: he lives on in my record collection.
	12:46pm Gerry from Miami: SQUINTS, enjoy your soiree with the MRS. tonight. Monday rolls around way too soon! .
	12:46pm pgalub: Nice version. Ribbit!
	12:46pm Squints: ↳ John L @12:43 Now THAT's Festivus. Proud of 'em. Although not really.
	12:46pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:45 "Meat Man, you MOTHA!!!" (Mine too.)
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 one of the best.
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & I had some Psychedelic Movement idealism. Mind Expansion was worthy - just dope wasn't. I didn't always act like that (I was a punk let's face it) - but I was pretty interested in Tripping & less in Powders & Pills - & never in Needles.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 you oughtta see me eat, man!
	12:47pm Hughie Considine: ↳ evancuts @12:43 I firmly believe you should be at least 21 to shave your RA's back.
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:47 ...there should be Union...
	12:48pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Don't Want You Back" by "Letters, The" Again, wait for it, waaaaait for it, and lo and behold, it's already clicky-starred.
	12:48pm PaulRobeson1924: Alcohol is one of the only drugs you can die from the withdrawals. Alcohol has a Powerful reinforcement factor
	12:48pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:47 It's true -- I have seen this man consume a stack of onion rings that could feed family of four.
	12:49pm PaulRobeson1924: The more often you “drink” the more you crave the drug
	12:49pm steveo: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:47 lol
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 mmmm... rings!
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Care of Cell 44 (mono)" by "Zombies, The" way up on the List!
	12:50pm John L: Now I might have a glass of wine a couple of times a month, but I do smoke a couple of times a week, usually at a movie night with friends; less so if there are subtitles.
	12:50pm PaulRobeson1924: The slang terms and euphemisms blow my mind!!
	12:50pm Gerry from Miami: YOW! Those inimitable ZOMBIES! COLIN BLUNSTONE has always been a hero of mine. Such a distinctive voice!
	12:50pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Care of Cell 44 (mono)" by "Zombies, The" A lost gem right there
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Care of Cell 44 (mono)" by "Zombies, The" I never detected guitar on Care of Cell 44, but then I interviewed Rod Argent, who assured me there was.
	12:51pm Beast of Boonton: "Feels so good to shave your back again?"
	12:51pm Peter v: It’s funny when we were listening to Jerry lee Lewis, I was reminded of Colin bluestone’s voice
	12:51pm clarke: martin atkinson, baby!! subtle.
	12:52pm ?: ↳ PatrickMC @12:50 Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs revived it in 2006
	12:52pm Squints: ↳ Beast of Boonton @12:51 Hah. Must be 21 to hear this record.
	12:53pm Squints: ↳ @12:52 That cover is just a banger. My favorite effort on that record along with "Run To Me."
	12:53pm Gerry from Miami: @? Those SWEET/HOFFS covers albums were quite good and overlooked.
	12:54pm Michael Shelley: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
	12:54pm clarke: but they are covers.
	12:54pm PatrickMC: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:53 Clearly overlooked!
	12:55pm Dano59: ↳ Squints @12:48 same!
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks, Michael! Killer morning/midday of music! Be well all.
	12:57pm PatrickMC: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:54 So why was pot legalized again?
	12:57pm clarke: was just thinking about how my parents used to fight to get me up in the mornings, except on saturday, i jumped right out of bed - for cartoons!! and now it is Car Tunes. good nite.
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ PatrickMC @12:57 Profit. & more Voters want it.
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feeling you been A to B'd?? good night.
	12:58pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Mr. Scooby" by "Donald Trump (AKA James Austin Jo... strangely not that hard to believe
	12:58pm Squints: The only thing with this show is how fast it flew by. Thanks, Michael. God bless everybody.
	12:58pm ILikedWaterworld: omg this is killing me
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: Great show as usual. Wishing a fine weekend to all!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~ ...& all you Leaders of the Free World...

	11:18am Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @11:15 One of the best singers I have ever seen
	11:19am paul: Love that coaster!
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:18 she was in good voice, yesterday - despiet her guitar crapping out.
	11:21am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:15 Oh man
	11:21am clarke: a disaster that was kinda cool
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Squeaky Dave @11:18 Yes.
	11:22am reimomo: i thought it was the how soon is now intro for a second
	11:22am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" by "Chicks, The" One of my favorite Beatles songs. What a goddamn chorus!
	11:22am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:22 Heartily seconded.
	11:22am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:17 That sounds fantastic.
	11:23am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" by "Chicks, The" Making the Buck Owensness explicit
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Beatles For Sale' - Best Beatles Album :D ...not really...
	11:24am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. I liked that miscue.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:22 i'm not sure why they just didn't mic her acoustic?? ha ha. there were only about ten extra mics on this stage.
	11:26am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:24 That is weird. People get attached to one thing, I guess.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:24 i tend to agree!!
	11:26am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:26 the stage crew were idiots - other things happened
	11:27am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Come On and Dance" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" This is toad-ally No. 1!
	11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: Beatles For Sale is my favorite Beatles album!
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Song: "Come On and Dance" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" RIP!! saw him several times, of course (he did NOT play that much, tho).
	11:27am Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:24 Best? Maybe not. But my fave of the 'early" era.
	11:28am Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:27 People always point out how exhausted they look on the cover -- but the music sure ain't exhausted.
	11:29am Squints: ↳ Song: "Come On and Dance" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" Not for nothin', but... G G Y, here.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 there's so many myths.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 the photo was taken at dawn after they had to stay up all night
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:29 ovah heayah!!
	11:30am Hughie Considine: Right, so they were exhausted.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:30 people just repeat the myth.
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:31 A myth is as good as a mile.
	11:33am paul: Calumet Farms 15-year-old bourbon. Got a bottle of that and the glass for my 70th birthday.
	11:33am paul: Ooops. 70th birthday.
	11:35am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:35am clarke: Sonny Curtis seems to be ridin' in my car, theyah.
	11:35am Squints: ↳ Song: "My Little Girl" by "Crickets, The" I'm pretty sure it's Dave Edmunds's "Deborah" (also a great song) that sounds like this.
	11:35am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:35 Cah.
	11:36am clarke: yah.
	11:36am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:36 Ayuh.
	11:36am clarke: Frank - movies??
	11:36am PatrickMC: Nick Lowe always nicks from the best
	11:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "My Little Girl" by "Crickets, The" I can still see him banging out the "Peggy Sue" rhythm on the front seat of the car in the Buddy Holly Story.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:36 It's been a sparse couple of weeks, but managed to get "Three Amigos" in last night. You?
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Writer Tim Riley called 'For Sale' the yin between two yang (upbeat) Movies. The dark side of peak Beatlemania. Which is ...great, right ?! I think of McGuinn saying TheBeatles were FolkRawk from the get-go, matter of fact (tho 'RubberSoul' gets all the cred for that)... & TheBeatles never stood still - tho 'For Sale' has a lot of Classic R'n'R Covers on it. So the 'Early' period is not entirely homogenous... Fellow who does 'Cocaine & Rhinestones' likes to lambast TheBeatles' attempts @ Kuntry...
	11:39am Cooh John: Maybe the 'The Beatles' heard the Crickets?
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: I wish Kitchen and Fulks would come near here.
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: Kirchen
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:38 funny, never seen that, ha ha. need to, i guess.
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Yeah, I thought it was strange that they had 4. I figured maybe three with Nancy also doing vocals, but...
	11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: I saw Kirchen a million years ago and he was amazing.
	11:40am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:39 See, now, I think that, even though it's kind of a throwaway, "What's Goes On" has a ridiculously great groove. No way Buck doesn't approve. Especially since he got paid for their cover.
	11:40am clarke: FOUR guitar players. yes. which makes roger fisher pretty cool for doing the work of THREE back in the day.
	11:41am PNX: I schlepped it out to Outpost in the Burbs last night. Nice venue, show was outrageously good. Thanks for the rec Michael!
	11:41am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:39 It was decent, as I remember it being. None of their finest work, however. For some reason, it's gotten more and more popular over the years.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:40 one of the guys was just mimicking nancy anyway??
	11:42am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:41 I guess? I didn't watch the video, I just heard their segment as it was airing.
	11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:39 That fella knows a lot about country - he also has a podcast called Your Favorite Band Sucks, which lambastes many revered bands, from the Beatles to Wilco.
	11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "A Certain Girl" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" Nice! Heard this version for the first time about an hour ago and I get to hear it again now!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 Yeah. Cocaine & Rhinestones is the best ...but I've had no interest in the other.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:42 i finally saw bogdanovich's Nickelodeon - what a jumbled mess!!
	11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "June 27, 2009 Excerpt" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" This is gold. What a voice.
	11:44am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:43 Yeah, could've been better but it has it's charms.
	11:44am PatrickMC: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 That sounds wonderfully refreshing
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:44 well-intentioned, for sure.
	11:46am StuartR: ↳ Song: "A Certain Girl" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" Wonderful tune, conversation clip with Clarence
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:44 coming on the heels of Paper Moon - ouch!!
	11:47am clarke: converating with royalty!!
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ PatrickMC @11:44 It's a little like seeing a good friend getting slapped -- but occasionally deservedly so.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "June 27, 2009 Excerpt" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" Seems a real great fella.
	11:49am Mattynotimes: What movie was this in?
	11:49am drr: I was out of town all week, so I only had YouTube movies, but I saw two good ones. The Suspect (1940, dir. Edward Siodmak) Charles Laughton wants to marry Ella Raines but has a horrible wife to deal with first. The Letter (1944, dir. William Wyler) Bette Davis, wife of a rubber plantation manager, shoots an importunate suitor in the first minute of the movie. But is there more to the story?
	11:49am John L: ↳ Mattynotimes @11:49 Diner.
	11:49am Mattynotimes: The lost boys that’s right!
	11:49am PatrickMC: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 A much needed tonic. The Creem aesthetic. Would love to have seen Creem on Wilco.
	11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ Mattynotimes @11:49 One of Daniel Stern's finest moments.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ drr @11:49 both of those are marv!!!!
	11:50am Mattynotimes: And diner and maybe a couple others
	11:50am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Ain't Got No Home" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" All time best 45
	11:51am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:46 Well, you can't hit a homer every time you step to the plate.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ drr @11:49 The Letter came from an actual real story in australia. also, probably influenced Wayne carson
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:51 that ain't what Hand said.
	11:52am Mattynotimes: Daniel Stern as narrator on wonder years and Diner are my two faves. Although he is great as Marv in home alone
	11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ PatrickMC @11:49 Well it's funny, I really wanted to hear what he would say about Wilco because I've always found them to be a really really good band but not a great one or one I find very interesting, and I thought he was pretty insightful about their shortcomings. Then I listened to the one about REM and it seemed to be on a lower plane, critique-wise. His partner is not on his level and that doesn't help.
	11:52am nycmusicnerd: $2 CDs?? I'm salivating already.
	11:52am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:52 Hank!
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Poppy's Disco" by "Midnight Stars" This is such a Shelley classic.
	11:53am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:52 Talk to the Hank.
	11:53am PatrickMC: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:52 You've sold me! Thx
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:53 i don't think hank done it this way.
	11:54am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:52 I always thought Hank O'Hare would be a cool alias.
	11:55am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:54 what? you need another one?
	11:56am clarke: i played CBGB's - it was fun, but too many bands on the bill, etc.
	11:56am Frank In Queens: CB's DID have great sound. The booking, however, in my day left a LOT to be desired.
	11:56am PatrickMC: Live at CB's always in the cutout bin and one of the worst covers ever
	11:57am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:55 You can't have too many.
	11:58am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 moNEY gRAB
	11:58am Dennis Diken: I was in the audience at CBGB the nite this was recorded
	11:58am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Need A Million (live at CBGBs)" by "Laughing Do... This is punk rock
	11:58am johnk77: cbgbs was early in offering multitrack recording at a venue also mink deville moved from sf back to nyc mostly to get in on the cbgbs scene
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:57 speaking of aliases, the new series Ripley sticks very close to Patricia Highsmith's novels. recommend!
	11:58am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I Need A Million (live at CBGBs)" by "Laughing Do... This was hard rock then
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CBGBs sounded good ! Where else such insights.
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:58 how often would you guys sneak into the city as a yout???
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bad toilets & good sound. Is it so much to ask in this world.
	11:59am Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:58 It was just nearly impossible to get gigs there. They would book months in advance and then not pick up the phone until it was time to start booking the next half of the year.
	11:59am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "I Need A Million (live at CBGBs)" by "Laughing Do... Reminds me of CBGB regulars The Dictators
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:58 Ah! This is certainly on the list!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...seeing as now good toilets & bad sound are more likely...
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:00 so wel done! but subtle.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:58 It's on the list fer sher
	12:01pm Mr. Jones: I'm going to see Dennis next month in Riverhead. Yippee!
	12:01pm clarke: what bass did you have MS??
	12:01pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:00 Good. Looking forward to it. We're fans of Andrew Scott.
	12:02pm Montmaster J: The Mundanes!
	12:03pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:59 They were always changing bills around to accommodate label showcases... happened a lot to me. BUT, loved playing the CBs Gallery - different booker.
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:01 he is sublime in that.
	12:04pm Squints: ↳ Montmaster J @12:02 Saw The Mundanes open for The Ramones at Stage West (pre-Hartford Agora) in 1979, maybe 1980. "It's Friday night and I want to go the disco but my friends tell me it's wrong."
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:03 i caught Idaho at the Gallery one sunday afternoon - one of the best things i have ever happened upon!
	12:05pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:01 This was a HONDO I bought from Jeff Hoffman in 10th grade for $25 - I spray painted it red. Photo of it in the lower right hand corner: f4.bcbits.com...
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:03 The Gallery was always fun. Played there a few times too.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:05 that ain't no toy, son!
	12:05pm Dennis Diken: @clarke - allatime! we’d park at the train station in Hoboken (quite ez back then) & take the Path (35 cents) to beat the tunnel toll!
	12:06pm Montmaster J: ↳ Squints @12:04 Cool. They were very nice....I particularly remember Dean Mundane.
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:05 did you have fake ID's?
	12:06pm kwatts: ↳ Song: "Big Love" by "Camera Obscura" That was delightful.
	12:07pm clarke: good gosh, Never My Love just might be.....
	12:08pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Montmaster J @12:06 The were encouraging and amused for sure
	12:08pm Montmaster J: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:05 That red bass unit definitely functioned!
	12:09pm Dennis Diken: @clarke - some of us did
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seeing as the market on any Old Instrument is insane anymore. Bonus if you can play it...
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:09 ha ha ha. good ol' days.
	12:10pm Glistener MW: The 5th Dimension are great, but, I’ve always thought they could really use a song about ballooning
	12:11pm clarke: so did jim webb.
	12:11pm clarke: funny -- i just found out that i can TYPE like a frog!!! rrrrrrr...
	12:14pm clarke: yes! 21 ruined live music!!
	12:14pm PaulRobeson1924: Hunting license at 13
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: My 20s and 30s are a good lesson about drinking.
	12:14pm PaulRobeson1924: Morningggggggggg
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: I wouldn't recommend it. Lol
	12:14pm Moammar: ↳ Glistener MW @12:10 heh heh heh
	12:16pm clarke: knowing when to start drinking is not as important as knowing when to STOP.
	12:16pm Janie Heath: It’s because too many young people died drunk driving. In my opinion, what we need is better public transportation. Most countries allow people to drink at 18 or even younger.
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: When you're 18, you think you're old enough to drink, but when you're kid is 18, you realize how young they are.
	12:16pm Sufferwords: keep it at 18- those three years of figuring out how to procure booze is an education in life equal to course work
	12:16pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:16 Yep. n+1 being a variable is the tricky part.
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: Southern Comfort. We tore apart a friend's on-campus apartment one night. That was my last time drinking that!
	12:17pm Squints: I love IPAs to death. Stopped drinking 'em because I don't like the guy that comes out sometimes.
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: The problem with drinking is you can never tell who is going to be an alcoholic. Testing it out is the gamble, right? I tell people that getting drunk isn't nearly as much fun as people might seem.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:17 ha ha ha.
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: First time drinking ...Apricot Brandy ! :D ...hey - what's the big deal. I can swallow little glass after glass of this stuff no problem...
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:17 i dunno - it is until it isn't.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Every Boy And Every Girl" by "NRBQ" The Voice!!!!
	12:20pm clarke: joey is doing really well - his cancer seems in remission, etc. got a nice photo and all.
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:18 Yeah. And that's the issue.
	12:20pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:20 This makes me happy.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:20 me, too!! was worried for a while, theyah.
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Instant A-Hole ...Just Add Alcohol' ...he may not be Alcoholic, but he's a Problem Drinker ...when he Drinks ...it's a Problem... Well, the stuff is a Disinhibitor. & some stuff should just stay Inhibited. Set & Setting for all Drugs : Where your head @. No really. How you feelin'. & where you gonna do it @ - with Whom, & What you gonna do...
	12:22pm kta: When I graduated high school in upstate NY, the drinking age was 18. The day we graduated, we were across the street at the Old Coach, in our caps and gowns and the old guys were buying us drinks - as to welcome us into adulthood. I thought it was cool. And I think when you graduate high school, are now able to be charged with a felony, be drafted, be able to vote - well, all these things are entry into adulthood. I think you just have to teach your kids about the dangers and show them good habits, and let them know they can trust you if they come to with any questions or issues. (and there's a lot more than just booze to teach them.) I think young people at 18 are fully capable of being adults if you let them.
	12:22pm drr: @clarke: you know we are playing tonight?
	12:22pm PatrickMC: Always thought modeling responsible drinking at home helps. I didn't have that. If my 17+ kids want a glass of wine with dinner etc., OK.
	12:22pm luka: get that rumple minze away from me
	12:22pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Sufferwords @12:16 That's why a lot of college presidents support lowering the drinking age to 18. If it's out in the open, college staff can monitor it. When it's being done behind closed doors, they might not know what's happening until it's too late.
	12:22pm listener phat in Lincoln: All I'm saying is I don't miss drinking (smoking cigarettes, on the other hand).
	12:23pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:21 I had a reason six years ago to step on the acclerator. Not a good one. But I had one. Still have it. But I don't let that drive me now.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:22 i was just reminded of that thing that i did know, yes. yes??
	12:23pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:23 OK, just wondering if the word got out.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:22 Holy Diver???
	12:24pm PatrickMC: Bring the drinking age back to 18 and the voting age back to 21.
	12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Then when you get Stoned or Trip instead - the shock that you can be Altered & still fully Aware ...long as I don't have to Remember anything... You aren't really There anymore with Alcohol (& some other things)...
	12:24pm Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:22 I do think that furtiveness propels or certainly accelerates binging. If it's legal and OK out in the open, maybe not every occasion has to be Festivus.
	12:25pm Dennis: Clarence White is totally amazing on this track. As usual.
	12:25pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:23 Checkpoint's! With Happy Talk. We're first (9:30).
	12:25pm PNX: This is a handy tool for getting past some paywalls. It seems to work on that Sidekicks article: 12ft.io
	12:25pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Your Gentle Way of Loving Me" by "Byrds, The" I was going to clicky-star this. But I've learned to pause a second beforehand. Because, whaddya know, I already had.
	12:26pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Squints @12:24 Exactly.
	12:26pm Hughie Considine: Back when a freshmen could all get super plastered in their first weeks of being away from home, you have to figure that a lot of people did things they regretted while very drunk. Which is to say, if there weren't school-sponsored kegs to loosen them up, things would have been very different. And they wouldn't have earned that nickname they could never get rid of for the next three years.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:25 it's all coming back to me, now, ha ha ha.
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:25 It's always reassuring to know that past-you had good taste!
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Still - if you can Drink Moderately enuff - it's very effective for Relaxing a bit. Which - as you get Older in this Society - is far too elusive a thing...
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:25 i haven't had occasion to go to Checkpoint Charlies in FOREVS!!
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:27 And some of us just don't care for weed anymore.
	12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:28 I haven't taken anything illegal since 1987 !!!
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:29 what about that one-way sign???
	12:29pm Hubig Pie: ↳ drr @12:25 Does the Happy Talk band still have that Morning 40 guy on the guitar?
	12:30pm drr: Me neither. It might have been 20 years.
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:28 ...face it. We turn into Homer Simpson. Open the doors of perception ...to this Society ?! No way. Gimme a Beer...
	12:30pm Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:27 Yep. I find now that feat of strength I embrace, the enjoyable challenge, is to enjoy my lagers and stouts and work the pace so I'm just relaxed and hanging. I get a little chuffed with myself when afterward I realized how small the number is and how well is nursed 'em.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:29 i don't think so.
	12:31pm wenzo: Waddupdoe
	12:31pm drr: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:29 They have Alex McMurray - was he a Morning 40 guy? Actually I think you're thinking of Bailey Smith. He runs Bud Rip's now.
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:29 It's almost TOO legal here these days!
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:30 It's a skill, Squints. You should be chuffed!
	12:32pm Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:31 "Get chuffed" is a slogan to live by.
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Squints @12:30 It helped I was 5'11" & just 125lbs. most of my life then. Had no delusions of being Keef Richards : My limits were near & clear. Also ...always poor. I wasn't offered Coke. Which makes me an odd little Rawker ~ CounterCulturalist for sure...
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Eu Ja Tenho Voce" by "Som Três" these guys "got chuffed"!!
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:31 Yeah. & maybe my relation to ti will too. Someday. Hell I'm ancient awlready...
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:34 ...*relation to cannabis may change...
	12:35pm John L: My college had a bar on campus and, since I was in a 21 and older dorm, we were allowed keg parties. I also developed a taste for Wild Turkey, which resulted in a few blackouts. One especially stupid night I also did mushrooms and coke; the next day several people commented that I looked like death. I'm just lucky I didn't hurt anyone else.
	12:36pm P-90: Yes! FauxTown is indeed a thing
	12:36pm Hubig Pie: ↳ drr @12:31 Alex McMurray was in Royal Fingerbowl. Loved that band. They played Dragon's Den alot. Still have a copy of their only release "Happy Birthday, Saboo" with the self love song "Fistfull of Love".
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:34 Weed stores have proliferated far beyond what I would think demand could possibly be. I don't get it. It's worse than frame stores! There's one on my block, THE Puff N' Stuff, and I don't think I've ever seen a customer in it. The GRAND OPENING balloons are starting to look a little sad.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...speaking of cannabis - one issue is Tolerance. The same amount regularly doesn't have the seem effects. I loved getting High ...got tired of being Stoned.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:37 same effects ...I'm not stoned now just a sht typist...
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Today Will Have No Night" by "Jackie DeShannon" echo chambers!!!
	12:38pm Gerry from Miami: Yo, SQUINTS! I usually listen to Brainen's show on the GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO stream in real time on Saturdays and this show on the Archives later, but decided to join Mr. Shelley's program today. Good stuff to listen to and interesting comments as well. Hope you are luxuriating in your weekend respite from work. And a fond farewell to the FROGMAN!
	12:38pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Today Will Have No Night" by "Jackie DeShannon" Love Jackie De
	12:39pm clarke: Echo Chambers - good pseudonym?
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:36 Just the Latest Thing. Let's all open Used CDs Stores. Who shall last Five Years...
	12:39pm Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:32 Yep. 5'8-9" and 135 soaking wet. Possibly only a weak bladder saved my life then. Smoked dope if it was offered but wasn't going to let that stuff cut into my vinyl habit. Took actual heed of the 6th grade drug education (1971). "That'll kill ya. Check. That'll kill. Check." Stopped even smoking dope and pretty gave up hard liquor mid sophomore year in college. Recognized my finitude. Pretty much a beer guy since then. I've smoked dope on ceremonial occasions or to be polite with friends maybe a half dozen times since. I'll nurse a whisky before singing but that's about all. I do like a gin martini to start if the weather's nice. But just one.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ PatrickMC @12:38 Sure do.
	12:39pm HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:36 Over 95% of weed stores in NYC are illegal and scam customers by selling terpene sprayed Delta 8 hemp as cannabis flower. Beware brother, beware!
	12:40pm Karl: Turns out it is a good afternoon for hits
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ HyperDose @12:39 I have nothing to beware of! And would like to see your sources.
	12:41pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:38 Enjoying this, Gerry, then heading to the pub at 3pm and meeting She Of The Big Brown Eyes for dinner and an acoustic duo afterward. Loved with Bob's show was on the main feed right before this. I catch it on the Drummer feed occasionally.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Squints @12:39 & all the Heroes who Overdosed. This was never lost on me. Why it has been on so many I'll never understand. Well ...I can understand wanting to feel better in a moment matters more than anything. Of course - Truth is the first victim of Prohibition - just as in War.
	12:41pm Squints: Don't hate me because I metabolize beautifully.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ HyperDose @12:39 Ugh.
	12:42pm Squints: ↳ HyperDose @12:39 So, they're.....moving rope?
	12:42pm florida: diggin a hole , buddy
	12:42pm P.Welles: From Quebec, normal to have wine with meals in the teens.
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Turn On Your Love Light" by "Jerry Lee Lewis" still alive, right?
	12:43pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Janie Heath @12:16 That was my argument - traffic death stats have changed
	12:43pm San Pedro Girl: Hi Michael and all!
	12:43pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Turn On Your Love Light" by "Jerry Lee Lewis" JLL's singing always great and very underappreciated
	12:43pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:42 uhhhh.....
	12:43pm PaulRobeson1924: Alcohol is a strong drug
	12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:43 No small concern.
	12:43pm evancuts: Our RA freshman year made us shave the back of his neck and his back. He was so hairy it would grow back every week. He looked just like Erik Estrada and everyone called him Ponch. This was when the drinking age in NY was still 18.
	12:43pm steveo: clean and sober since 1853
	12:43pm John L: A local bar just lost it's liquor license for underage drinking. Out of 200 patrons 120 were underage.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:43 okay. i should never play dead or alive with anyone.
	12:44pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:44 It was 2023 or 2022.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:44 yes, i kinda remember that. ha ha.
	12:45pm Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:41 I have a buddy here who plays guitar. Sometimes covers "The Needle And The Damage Done." Great song and he plays it well. I have to go outside for two minutes. If I'm going to hear Neil Young about that, it needs to be "Tonight's The Night" so I can howl.
	12:45pm drr: ↳ Song: "The Glory Of Love" by "Clarence "Frogman" Henry" wow, I love this.
	12:45pm clarke: he lives on in my record collection.
	12:46pm Gerry from Miami: SQUINTS, enjoy your soiree with the MRS. tonight. Monday rolls around way too soon! .
	12:46pm pgalub: Nice version. Ribbit!
	12:46pm Squints: ↳ John L @12:43 Now THAT's Festivus. Proud of 'em. Although not really.
	12:46pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:45 "Meat Man, you MOTHA!!!" (Mine too.)
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 one of the best.
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & I had some Psychedelic Movement idealism. Mind Expansion was worthy - just dope wasn't. I didn't always act like that (I was a punk let's face it) - but I was pretty interested in Tripping & less in Powders & Pills - & never in Needles.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 you oughtta see me eat, man!
	12:47pm Hughie Considine: ↳ evancuts @12:43 I firmly believe you should be at least 21 to shave your RA's back.
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:47 ...there should be Union...
	12:48pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Don't Want You Back" by "Letters, The" Again, wait for it, waaaaait for it, and lo and behold, it's already clicky-starred.
	12:48pm PaulRobeson1924: Alcohol is one of the only drugs you can die from the withdrawals. Alcohol has a Powerful reinforcement factor
	12:48pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:47 It's true -- I have seen this man consume a stack of onion rings that could feed family of four.
	12:49pm PaulRobeson1924: The more often you “drink” the more you crave the drug
	12:49pm steveo: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:47 lol
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 mmmm... rings!
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Care of Cell 44 (mono)" by "Zombies, The" way up on the List!
	12:50pm John L: Now I might have a glass of wine a couple of times a month, but I do smoke a couple of times a week, usually at a movie night with friends; less so if there are subtitles.
	12:50pm PaulRobeson1924: The slang terms and euphemisms blow my mind!!
	12:50pm Gerry from Miami: YOW! Those inimitable ZOMBIES! COLIN BLUNSTONE has always been a hero of mine. Such a distinctive voice!
	12:50pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Care of Cell 44 (mono)" by "Zombies, The" A lost gem right there
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Care of Cell 44 (mono)" by "Zombies, The" I never detected guitar on Care of Cell 44, but then I interviewed Rod Argent, who assured me there was.
	12:51pm Beast of Boonton: "Feels so good to shave your back again?"
	12:51pm Peter v: It’s funny when we were listening to Jerry lee Lewis, I was reminded of Colin bluestone’s voice
	12:51pm clarke: martin atkinson, baby!! subtle.
	12:52pm ?: ↳ PatrickMC @12:50 Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs revived it in 2006
	12:52pm Squints: ↳ Beast of Boonton @12:51 Hah. Must be 21 to hear this record.
	12:53pm Squints: ↳ @12:52 That cover is just a banger. My favorite effort on that record along with "Run To Me."
	12:53pm Gerry from Miami: @? Those SWEET/HOFFS covers albums were quite good and overlooked.
	12:54pm Michael Shelley: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
	12:54pm clarke: but they are covers.
	12:54pm PatrickMC: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:53 Clearly overlooked!
	12:55pm Dano59: ↳ Squints @12:48 same!
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks, Michael! Killer morning/midday of music! Be well all.
	12:57pm PatrickMC: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:54 So why was pot legalized again?
	12:57pm clarke: was just thinking about how my parents used to fight to get me up in the mornings, except on saturday, i jumped right out of bed - for cartoons!! and now it is Car Tunes. good nite.
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ PatrickMC @12:57 Profit. & more Voters want it.
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feeling you been A to B'd?? good night.
	12:58pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Mr. Scooby" by "Donald Trump (AKA James Austin Jo... strangely not that hard to believe
	12:58pm Squints: The only thing with this show is how fast it flew by. Thanks, Michael. God bless everybody.
	12:58pm ILikedWaterworld: omg this is killing me
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: Great show as usual. Wishing a fine weekend to all!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~ ...& all you Leaders of the Free World...
