	12:05pm Hughie Considine: No. 1!
	12:06pm Listener Baby: That’s no teenage drummer on that Kinks tune.
	12:06pm Miss V: ↳ McGroovey @12:04 Lol
	12:06pm drr: non-blues based music that is also strictly rock and roll

	12:13pm Dennis Diken: myron, baby (I don’t know how to reply to names on phone app) - that’s totally Bobby Graham on that track & many Kinks ‘64 cuts. I believe Mick drums on “Stop Your Sobbing.” It might be the earliest of their recordings that he plays on?
	12:14pm clarke: that's what i think, DD
	12:14pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:13 DD- miss you!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:13 who do ya think was drumming on that Willie Nelson track? whoah!
	12:15pm Matt in Nebraska: I agree. Pretenders weren't loud enough! I think it got progressively louder as the show went on but I wanted volume!

	12:19pm Hughie Considine: Norman, he'll work circles around you.
	12:19pm clarke: norman has the ultimate set of tools.
	12:20pm McGroovey: I've never waited more than 5 minutes at an inspection station. But yeah, my mechanic and I were just talking about NJ inspection, and how they look at nothing anymore. They used to be strict. His car passed recently with an obviously cracked windshield.
	12:20pm Dennis Diken: hey clarke! I’d have to cop another listen to the WN track to wager a guess
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:19 Yes, Norman Spicoli
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:19 He'll wrap your head in with a rachet
	12:21pm Dennis Diken: thanks, Mikey! let’s party!
	12:21pm drr: ↳ McGroovey @12:20 I got the car I have now because it wouldn't pass North Carolina emissions standards, so my friend sold it to me cheap because in Louisiana we don't have standards.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:20 it SO sounded like Craig Schrampf, but he might have been too young?
	12:21pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:21 Put your boss on.
	12:21pm McGroovey: I just lost the web stream. Is it me, or is it WFMU?
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Matt in Nebraska @12:15 I think they use in-ear monitors - so they dont feel the volume... it's weird!
	12:22pm Andres: Car mechanic that makes house calls. Love it.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:20 your brother can't fix this car.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:21 it's ALWAYS you!
	12:25pm Dennis Diken: Catalina’s a gasser!
	12:25pm Sufferwords: 26 miles off shore
	12:26pm Michael Shelley: ↳ McGroovey @12:20 Tip - closer to the end of month, longer the lines
	12:27pm Mr. Jones: I went on a dive trip to Catalina in the mid 80's. It wasn't a rock, it was a rock lobster.
	12:28pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Surfer Boy" by "Catalinas, The" @Michael: The chorus sounds like "If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife..."

	12:36pm drr: So who was the Hep Me performer?
	12:36pm David Watts: Recently in Denver I picked up a copy of "pure pop for now people". So was Jesus of cool not gonna fly in the USA? I do like the inclusion of rollers show though
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ David Watts @12:36 I do think the title was too controversial for the US market, according to the suits.

	12:46pm John L: ↳ clarke @12:41 They have been averaging 42 songs a show, though many of them are pretty short. Really looking forward to seeing Doug Gillard play.
	12:46pm drr: ↳ dave miss @12:43 The face scanning was me going through a bunch photos from Circle Bar, so your face and several others. And I was chatting with Gogo B. and Jen O.

	12:53pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Can't Stay" by "Frank Lee Sprague" Any relation to Chris Sprague?
	12:53pm DG: Love Nick Lowe, but it looks like that song is only avaiable on some mini-CD included with "The Convincer", that you could only get at Borders Books (RIP). How the hell are you supposed to get it now?
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: ↳ herb.nyc @12:50 And then there's legendary comedian Marty Allen.
	12:54pm clarke: there's this thing called E-bay!

	12:13pm Dennis Diken: myron, baby (I don’t know how to reply to names on phone app) - that’s totally Bobby Graham on that track & many Kinks ‘64 cuts. I believe Mick drums on “Stop Your Sobbing.” It might be the earliest of their recordings that he plays on?
	12:14pm clarke: that's what i think, DD
	12:14pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:13 DD- miss you!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:13 who do ya think was drumming on that Willie Nelson track? whoah!

	12:19pm clarke: norman has the ultimate set of tools.
	12:20pm McGroovey: I've never waited more than 5 minutes at an inspection station. But yeah, my mechanic and I were just talking about NJ inspection, and how they look at nothing anymore. They used to be strict. His car passed recently with an obviously cracked windshield.
	12:20pm Dennis Diken: hey clarke! I’d have to cop another listen to the WN track to wager a guess
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:19 Yes, Norman Spicoli
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:19 He'll wrap your head in with a rachet

	12:21pm drr: ↳ McGroovey @12:20 I got the car I have now because it wouldn't pass North Carolina emissions standards, so my friend sold it to me cheap because in Louisiana we don't have standards.

	12:21pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:21 Put your boss on.
	12:21pm McGroovey: I just lost the web stream. Is it me, or is it WFMU?
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Matt in Nebraska @12:15 I think they use in-ear monitors - so they dont feel the volume... it's weird!
	12:22pm Andres: Car mechanic that makes house calls. Love it.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:20 your brother can't fix this car.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:21 it's ALWAYS you!
	12:25pm Dennis Diken: Catalina’s a gasser!
	12:25pm Sufferwords: 26 miles off shore
	12:26pm Michael Shelley: ↳ McGroovey @12:20 Tip - closer to the end of month, longer the lines
	12:27pm Mr. Jones: I went on a dive trip to Catalina in the mid 80's. It wasn't a rock, it was a rock lobster.
	12:28pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Surfer Boy" by "Catalinas, The" @Michael: The chorus sounds like "If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife..."

	12:35pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Different Kind Of Blue" by "Nick Lowe" YES FOR NICK LOWE!!!!!!!!!!! Did I mention I love Nick Lowe? I did mention that, didn't I?
	12:36pm drr: So who was the Hep Me performer?
	12:36pm David Watts: Recently in Denver I picked up a copy of "pure pop for now people". So was Jesus of cool not gonna fly in the USA? I do like the inclusion of rollers show though
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ David Watts @12:36 I do think the title was too controversial for the US market, according to the suits.

	12:46pm John L: ↳ clarke @12:41 They have been averaging 42 songs a show, though many of them are pretty short. Really looking forward to seeing Doug Gillard play.
	12:46pm drr: ↳ dave miss @12:43 The face scanning was me going through a bunch photos from Circle Bar, so your face and several others. And I was chatting with Gogo B. and Jen O.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ John L @12:46 one of the BEST! ought to be FUN!

	12:52pm drr: ↳ herb.nyc @12:50 even if you don't go crazy about Marty Robbins music, do an internet search for "marty robbins race car". The man had taste.
	12:52pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Can't Stay" by "Frank Lee Sprague" Is this a Sprague Brothers Sprague?
	12:53pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Can't Stay" by "Frank Lee Sprague" Any relation to Chris Sprague?
	12:53pm DG: Love Nick Lowe, but it looks like that song is only avaiable on some mini-CD included with "The Convincer", that you could only get at Borders Books (RIP). How the hell are you supposed to get it now?
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: ↳ herb.nyc @12:50 And then there's legendary comedian Marty Allen.
	12:54pm clarke: there's this thing called E-bay!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: Seriously, Marty Robbins's "The Chair" is a classic death row ditty.
