	11:11am HyperDose: Michael have mercy! ☕🎶

	11:13am HyperDose: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @11:12 RIP Johnny Hockey and his brother Matthew
	11:14am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:13 moanin' suh!!
	11:15am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:14 Ahoy!
	11:15am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ HyperDose @11:13 Yeah, that was awful. The day of their funeral, BOTH of their wives announced they were pregnant.
	11:15am Listener Baby: I do not get that movie.
	11:16am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ clarke @11:13 That's ok, you still reminded me that HOCKEY PRE-SEASON STARTS TONIGHT!!!
	11:16am clarke: all wes is BRILLIANT!
	11:16am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:15 thats because you're so bloody rich!
	11:17am Andres: Good morning. Love Wes. Rushmore was my fave. Tannenbaums I disliked. Time to revisit both.
	11:17am common: i think that is the best wes anderson. "wild katten was written in an obsolete vernacular"
	11:18am Hughie Considine: Tenenbaums features "These Days," which got a great long write-up by Bob Mehr in the Times the other week, talking about the legacy of the song and its staying power.
	11:18am HyperDose: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @11:15 Not to mention it being on the eve of their sister's wedding. A terrible loss for the hockey community. But still excited about this season!
	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ Andres @11:17 With you there, Andres
	11:18am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:16 Asteroid City: not brilliant. Hated it. But I like others.
	11:18am Andres: Sex Pistols Jr.! Ha! Digging it!
	11:18am greg g: ↳ Song: "Judy Is A Punk" by "Ramones" I had the same feeling Michael while watching Royal Tennebaumms. Also, I teach high school and a student recently asked me my favorite movie and ( so tough) but I went with Rushmore ( for a while it was The Graduate ... also a great soundtrack)
	11:18am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:18 love it!
	11:18am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Hey there Michael Shelley! Hello Shellackers! Running late because I was in the shower! Happy Saturday!
	11:19am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Judy Is A Punk" by "Ramones" Good lord
	11:19am Cooh John: O-H...
	11:19am HyperDose: Astrud Gilberto songs always sound so beautiful
	11:20am Frank In Queens: All the drops!
	11:20am clarke: 1/10
	11:20am Moammar: A weird, belated, truncated bongo feet deployment.
	11:21am Moammar: ↳ Moammar @11:20 I have high standards -- and very specific ones -- for the bongo feet. This seems like a misfire.
	11:21am clarke: clarence!
	11:21am Kotzwinkled: Dylan in Lawrence here! My coaster is up there! Printing this playlist out and putting it on the fridge. Cheers, Mike and Co.!
	11:21am greg g: ↳ HyperDose @11:19 Second that HyperDose
	11:22am gf2002: I watched Asteroid City - For some reason the songs were mostly muted, I don't get that. But it felt like a movie that was waiting to break out into something great with one key scene that makes your eyes well up or you jump up and yell "damn!", and it never did. I'll have to watch it again.
	11:22am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:22 the stoic nature of the protaginist is the point of the film.
	11:23am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Michael and all! Got you tuned in at the Harrison Family garage sale. 138 Gubernat Dr in South Plainfield, NJ- come one come all!
	11:23am clarke: -protagonist
	11:23am drr: Give "The Grand Budapest Hotel" a second viewing; it's too much to take in on the first go-round. Also worth it for the fake Egon Schiele painting they made for it.
	11:23am myron feld: The "These Days" /Jackson Browne story in the NYT last week notes that the song inspired Anderson/Royal Tenenbaums.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ drr @11:23 and the codocil.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ drr @11:23 i have already blown the cover off of us missing Marty Stuart, last nite.
	11:25am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:22 Yes but I felt it needed something pivotal to happen beyond what was there to tie it together more, I kept waiting and waiting and it never came. Even the ending seemed too nicely wrapped to be memorable. All of the younger actors had good performances though.
	11:26am Michael Shelley: www.epicurious.com...
	11:26am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:25 all wes movies will get "better" down the line.
	11:27am myron feld: We served the Horsefeather at our Super Bowl party last year!
	11:28am clarke: you are epi-curious, apparently!
	11:28am Kotzwinkled: Thinking of switching to sugar free ginger beer for my Horsefeathers cause that stuff is SWEET.
	11:30am HyperDose: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:28 I'm a fan of the Arnold Palmer (w/unsweetened tea)
	11:30am clarke: and if you want more summer, just come to new orleans for two more months!
	11:30am Vertual: Random Concert Report: The db's played Asheville NC for the first time ever last night. It was positively blissful.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Vertual @11:30 that's great!!
	11:31am Frank In Queens: Yeah, two weeks!
	11:32am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Stacy's Mom" by "Fountains Of Wayne" BANGER
	11:32am clarke: stacy was not as chuffed!
	11:32am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Stacy's Mom" by "Fountains Of Wayne" What was the marching band director THINKING??
	11:33am drr: ↳ clarke @11:30 You ain't kiddin'.
	11:33am Michael Shelley: ↳ Andres @11:17 Agree - Rushmore is the Apex
	11:34am Michael Shelley: ↳ myron feld @11:18 Horrible
	11:34am davefromtoronto: ↳ Song: "Stacy's Mom" by "Fountains Of Wayne" AI pop
	11:34am StuartR: ↳ Song: "Stacy's Mom" by "Fountains Of Wayne" Big 10 Marching Band ?
	11:34am clarke: that gerald.
	11:34am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Stacy's Mom" by "Fountains Of Wayne" And the mind-blower is most if not all of the freshmen weren't born when the song came out. Or when I was playing it in cover bands.
	11:34am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:34am Cooh John: Is this to steer the college boys to the moms?
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:34 you don't FEEL tardy??
	11:35am Joe R.: ↳ clarke @11:34 lol!
	11:35am Sunny: All this stuff is Weezer’s fault.
	11:36am HyperDose: ↳ Sunny @11:35 I cackled at this
	11:36am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:35 Actaully been here for the whole thing so far. Forgot to hit "Post!" Call me Lanolin. Because I'm feelin' sheepish.
	11:36am greg g: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:18 Will look that up , thanks for the tip Hughie! I have his Replacements book . Wasn't he a guest on Michael's show last year??
	11:37am clarke: we've got a lot of rope to move, son! let's git after it!!
	11:37am Squints: ↳ HyperDose @11:36 Yup. Heh.
	11:37am HyperDose: Fountains of Wayne live set + interview: wfmu.org...
	11:37am Dr. Jeff: Hey Michael! Checking in - listening while driving around St. Louis. Sounding great as usual, my friend!
	11:37am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:36 now with lanolin!!
	11:38am gf2002: ↳ Song: "I'm A Fool" by "Rick Nelson" Rick Nelson - the original source of the phrase "more cowbell"
	11:38am Michael Shelley: ↳ Dr. Jeff @11:37 Have a Drews Custard for me!
	11:38am greg g: ↳ Song: "I'm A Fool" by "Rick Nelson" Diggin it
	11:39am myron feld: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:38 A concrete!
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Dr. Jeff @11:37 good doctor: is there any music venue in st. louis these days? i'll hand up and listen.
	11:39am Hughie Considine: ↳ greg g @11:36 He was indeed. One of the best music writers out there.
	11:40am Hughie Considine: I always thought that aspect of "Boys" was kind of surprising!
	11:40am Montmaster J: ↳ Moammar @11:06 I hear you. Saw Luisangel play on Tuesday...seems like the real deal. When Lindor comes back could be some good problems.
	11:40am Squints: ↳ Song: "Boys" by "Shirelles, The" Maybe not every day. But a lot of days, the best Beatles song ever.
	11:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:33 100 percent. It was his Rushmore, Max.
	11:41am clarke: the floating bookmobile guy!
	11:42am Moammar: ↳ Montmaster J @11:40 Let's hope we do not have to see Eddy Alvarez on the mound again. Although he did get that strikeout!
	11:42am Officer Pupp: Ringo doesn’t get much props as a vocalist, but he kills it on The Beatles’ version - on pitch, with commitment, vocal fry and vibrato - all while playing drums at the same time presumably.
	11:42am myron feld: ↳ Squints @11:40 Agreed. Just for the happy screams during the guitar break alone.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Officer Pupp @11:42 probably not in the studio, though he does kill it live!
	11:43am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Boys" by "Shirelles, The" The live version on the live Hollywood Bowl album is smoking hot. It goes back to the Hamburg days, Pete Best sang it, and Ringo sang it live before he was a Beatle.
	11:44am Cheryl The Nerd: Anyone going to see Ringo at RCMH on Wednesday?
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @11:44 did the beatles ever play Radio City?
	11:45am gf2002: No plans to see Ringo yet but I would love to see Colin Hay sing "Overkill" live since he's an All Starr now, one of my favorite songs of the 80's.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 saw him solo, once - he was really good!
	11:47am Joe B: beatles never played radio city
	11:47am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:45 No. Carnegie Hall and Shea Stadium were the sites of their NYC concerts.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Joe B @11:47 didn't think so..
	11:47am Hughie Considine: I found the Ringo All-Starr Band experience less the satisfying ultimately. For various reasons, not least of which was that I left humming "Africa," thanks to Steve Lukather's presence in that iteration.
	11:48am clarke: ouch!
	11:48am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:46 Colin had one of the best voices on 80's top-40 radio, I'd like to see him if I get the chance.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 you miss the rains..
	11:49am Joe B: ↳ clarke @11:47 1964 - Carnegie Hall, Forest Hills Stadium, Paramount Theater 1965 and1966 - Shea Stadium
	11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:48 "Overkill" was a true pop gem. I want to hear it now.
	11:49am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:48 That's 'cause we got 'em up heah, theah, this weekend.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Joe B @11:49 paramount is the one i was trying to think of!
	11:50am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:49 Yes! Seconded!
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:49 but i hear you need da rains.
	11:50am Kotzwinkled: I thought Mike was mourning Jimmie Dale Gilmore at first! He' playing KC this very evening!
	11:50am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:50 Dat we do.
	11:51am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Come On React" by "Fireballs, The" Numero uno!
	11:51am clarke: the wind... not so much!
	11:52am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:50 One of those weekends I'm glad to be two miles inland and 177 feet above seas. Whoops. 176 now, maybe.
	11:52am annette: not to drag you folks down, but sending a tender message to remember Jon Blickens. big fan of NRBQ. some of you remember him at NRBQ wild weekends.
	11:52am Listener Baby: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:49 I just went to YouTube and listened to it. Forgot about that one.
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:52 your mind is eroding!
	11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:51 Did anyone really call the wind "Mariah"? Always wondered about that.
	11:53am myron feld: ↳ Joe B @11:49 I forgot Forest Hills but never knew about the Paramount -- thanks! 60 years ago yesterday.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:52 it gives me the winds, son!
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Listener Baby @11:52 It's infectious. I can almost imagine Michael playing it.
	11:54am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:52 No. But I did once hear the wind cry "All I want for Christmas is you." Quite the ill wind.
	11:54am clarke: @Frank - yipes, just saw that newcastle just lost. sorry mate!
	11:56am gf2002: Check out the video of Overkill covered by Lazlo Bane on YT...it has to be the video because there is a cameo in the last verse that literally floored me the first time I saw that video on MTV many years ago. It was perfect, and in arguably the best part of the song. You'll have to trust me on this one...if you're a fan of the song.
	11:56am David L.: ↳ Song: "Come On React" by "Fireballs, The" Vocal phrasing sounded a little like what Zappa was invoking on the early Mothers albums...
	11:56am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:54 Just relegate Everton now and put us out of our misery.
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:56 merseyside mourneth.
	11:58am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:54 haha. There's a "pass wind" pun that's eluding me...
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:58 it's all hot air!
	11:58am Squints: The blatt was anything but cleansing.
	11:59am Pedro in Arlington: The funny thing is 40 years ago, sports were an afterthought at Northwestern and everyone was fine with that. Now they have fancy facilities, scandals with fired coaches suing etc. Of course the frat scene was always dopey. Go Cats.
	12:00pm Scott from Boston: Can get much better than this Camera Obscura song!
	12:00pm clarke: no.
	12:00pm Squints: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:00 Coulda swore I'd clicky-starred it before. Probably on some other show. There. I said it. I also listen to other shows.
	12:01pm clarke: can't maybe?
	12:01pm Scott from Boston: Squints! 😝
	12:02pm Listener Baby: Baby. You’re Killing it so far. Not Stunning it. Clean kills. I believe in you!
	12:02pm Squints: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:01 I mean, not from 11-1 on Saturdays. That would be madness.
	12:02pm clarke: ze strings - they swings!!
	12:02pm Pedro in Arlington: The db's played the Orrington Hotel for Pumpkin Prom in 1985. I missed most of the show waiting for a beer delivery.
	12:02pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "French Navy" by "Camera Obscura" Good band, good song! Nice to hear on the radio
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Song: "You Can't Go Home Again" by "Cyrkle, The" geniuses!
	12:03pm Scott from Boston: Quite honestly all day on the main channel!
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: Going to see Dave Alvin tomorrow. Sadly, Jimmie Dale Gilmore won't be joining him. He has Covid.
	12:04pm morphe': ↳ Song: "French Navy" by "Camera Obscura" Never knew Camera Obscura were/are from Norway.... WFMU OnLine University !!!
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:03 yike!
	12:04pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "You Can't Go Home Again" by "Cyrkle, The" Man those drums were recorded bone-dry except for one reverbed hit after the choruses, which was kind of rare for the mid-60's. That snare just pops...
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "You Can't Go Home Again" by "Cyrkle, The" Everything I've heard by the Cyrkle that hasn't been one of their big hits has been delightful.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ morphe' @12:04 glasgow, i believe.
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:04 I think he's fine.
	12:05pm clarke: NW has a good team this year!
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:05 how YOU doin'??
	12:06pm Nick From Paterson: Their name THE CYRCLE supposedly selected by Brian's other client, John Lennon
	12:06pm Hughie Considine: Wow, never watched a college football game. Most people in the US have I guess. I've never eaten a hard-boiled egg.
	12:07pm clarke: i've never seen Grease (which i hear is the word?)
	12:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:06 I'm good! Busy as all hell.
	12:07pm Hubig Pie: ↳ morphe' @12:04 They Glaswegians but I'm sure you knew that.
	12:08pm myron feld: Wildcats getting 12 points today, MS -- want me to get something down for you?
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:07 how's the cabinetry goin'?
	12:08pm Pedro in Arlington: NU used to be quite bad at sports. The basketball coach would say "I bleed purple" after a loss. He bled a lot. Mojo Nixon and the Beat Farmers were great at the bar in the student center. Now even the bar is gone.
	12:08pm gf2002: I've been to more college football games in person than I've watched on TV. I've also never seen the original Beetlejuice or watched a single minute of a Harry Potter movie.
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:07 where yat??
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:07 Interesting what we avoid or just slips through the cracks.
	12:08pm Shannon: ↳ Song: "You Can't Go Home Again" by "Cyrkle, The" My dad saw the Beatles in Detroit when the Cyrkle opened. The Cyrkle gave out red rubber balls to the crowd as a promo. During the Beatles set my dad asked to borrow his seatmate's binoculars — just in time to see John Lennon get bopped on the head by one of the red rubber balls.
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @12:04 YEAH - that one hit = genius!
	12:09pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:08 Going slowly. I've had no time. I'm hoping to get something down today, though.
	12:09pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Outside Man" by "Junior Parker" Insanely good groove
	12:09pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:07 Neither have I...I just can't. I thought the bird was the word?
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:08 avoid.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:09 surprisin' eh?
	12:10pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Shannon @12:08 Now that is a Beatles story!
	12:11pm clarke: the mornin' sun is shining!
	12:12pm Pedro in Arlington: Back in the day before insurance fears, beer companies had big freebie tailgates outside Dyche Stadium. Students would get ripped by 11 am and never go inside for the game and you just had to flash ID to get in free. The mens bathrooms had those classic troughs instead of urinals, just like Wrigley. Beauties that filled like ponds.
	12:13pm Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @12:04 Roy Hayee at the knobs, if I’m not mistaken. Possibly the best that ever was.
	12:14pm clarke: haylee.
	12:14pm gf2002: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:12 When college was college! Last time I was at Fenway they still had the troughs too, but that was years ago.
	12:14pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Sure Shot" by "Beastie Boys" He's gone off the deep end! 🫧🐠
	12:14pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @12:14 Not wearing my glasses
	12:15pm listener phat in Lincoln: @clarke how are you doing?
	12:15pm clarke: my eyes don't see too good.
	12:15pm Scott from Boston: Am i immature for liking the Beasties?
	12:15pm Mister Dobalina: I really the dog bark opening.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:15 swell, sir!
	12:16pm KWilde: Hi-energy today. Michael must be hitting the non-decaf
	12:16pm Mister Dobalina: That instrumental album they put out is great, IMO.
	12:16pm steveo: ↳ Mister Dobalina @12:15 I did a classic cartoon-style double take
	12:17pm money&pain: ↳ Shannon @12:08 That is a chilling.
	12:17pm Pedro in Arlington: Cindy Crawford was an electrical engineering major at Northwestern. For about six months. The she realized she could make $500K an hour without a degree.
	12:17pm Mister Dobalina: ↳ steveo @12:16 Rue rue Rooooh
	12:17pm myron feld: ↳ clarke @12:14 Halee, as immortalized in "A Simple Desultory Philippic:" "I been Roy Halleed and Art Garfunkeled..."
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:15 How's the record making?
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:17 nuthin' but hitz!
	12:18pm Listener Baby: Just saw Rickey play the drums 2 nights ago. He’s not bad.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ myron feld @12:17 but not simonized.
	12:19pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Sure Shot" by "Beastie Boys" The dog saying "I love you" was sampled from a Little Caesars' pizza commercial...that alone qualifies the song for brilliant status. And the video by Spike Jonze is great too
	12:19pm Squints: For a second I was waiting for the rest of out power to go out here.
	12:19pm Listener Baby: Oh. Not Rickey?
	12:20pm Dennis: I do believe that’s Ricky Fataar on drums (H&V)
	12:20pm steveo: Which boys are next???
	12:20pm clarke: i think Ricky plays on the album version.
	12:21pm clarke: we ALL want to be part of The Coffee Cake Conspiracy - but, tis a long commute for some of us.
	12:21pm Dennis: IMHO the Central Park ‘71 recording of H&V is the best live recording (which is Kowalski on drums)
	12:22pm morphe': ↳ clarke @12:05 Yes .. I thought Uk but thought I heard Norway over the mike ??? ... was in the kitchen... must have been the mold on the warming chevre' wafting into my remaining, semi-functional brain cells
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Dennis @12:21 is this available commercially?
	12:23pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "I Got A Thing About You Baby" by "Billy Lee Riley" Do leisure suits have a sound?
	12:23pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:06 I love hard boiled eggs. I've never eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

	12:26pm gf2002: ↳ Dennis @12:21 I agree, and there's video of it too - pure energy and the crowd is really into it. There is a somewhat "lost" video of Brian Wilson and his band playing the song on Conan O'Brien's show that is a killer performance, all I have of that is the audio. The drummers on the original sessions were a mix of Jim Gordon, Hal Blaine, and various percussionists including Dennis. It's hard to keep track because of all the edits.
	12:26pm clarke: geaux tigers in a lil' while!

	12:26pm gf2002: ↳ Moammar @12:23 Yes - "The Hustle" by Van McCoy
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:23 I see that. No PB&Js for me either, although I love nuts of all kinds.
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:26 me, either!
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:27 don't get him started!
	12:29pm Listener Baby: ↳ myron feld @12:17 "This is, of course, a take-off, a take-on, a private joke, but no joke is all that private or any less serious for being a joke."
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:28 (Best In Show ref)
	12:29pm Squints: ↳ gf2002 @12:26 Herb Tarlik's voice.
	12:30pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:27 Same. And I like jelly. There's no accounting for it. It's like chocolate and fruit. I don't like that, some people do.

	12:32pm gf2002: ↳ Squints @12:29 Haha, yes! With the white shoes of course. Speaking of 'KRP Bailey Quarters was an early crush of mine...
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:30 Billy Crystal as Buddy Young Jr. does a bit about baked apple: "Who the hell heats fruit?" Hot fruit is another one I avoid. And fruity soups.
	12:33pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:32 I think this is the Bailey Quarters demographic, right here.
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Ballad Of Forty Dollars" by "Tom T Hall" TTH!!!
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Ballad Of Forty Dollars" by "Tom T Hall" Now this is a fricken story song.
	12:34pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:33 mmmm hmmmm
	12:35pm Mister Dobalina: I'm selling my FMU sticker collection.
	12:35pm clarke: The One With The Brown Eyes non-withstanding.
	12:36pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:35 um, yeah

	12:41pm gf2002: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
	12:41pm clarke: stop'n'shop
	12:41pm Listener Baby: Baby. Can’t really blame the people? Can we?
	12:41pm ben & Reba: Radio on

	12:43pm Pedro in Arlington: Two NU alums in the same biz: Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert-a transfer. Thankfully no claim to Jimmy Fallon.
	12:43pm Listener Baby: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:42 I smell a delicious annual event brewing.

	12:46pm clarke: there's a quite entertaining new "interview" with Andy Partridge on the youtube.. Q&A of sorts..
	12:47pm Listener Baby: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:46 Cheryl is in? This just got real.
	12:47pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Jet Pac Boomerang" by "Nick Lowe" 3 Nick Lowe tunes in one show?? AMAZING! Now we just need to spin one of those new Greg Townson tunes. Maybe next week.
	12:47pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:44 I've wondered the same thing
	12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: I don't think I'm going to the bakery.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 no donuts?
	12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: One of my first concerts was Yes and they absolutely blew my mind.
	12:49pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 I'm thinking not.
	12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:44 He's been calling Cheeto Benito and the other gargoyles "weirdos" years before Gov. Walz. The Closer Look segments are incisive.

	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Montmaster J @12:49 he was!
	12:50pm Hughie Considine: The line in "Roundabout" that always got me is "24 before my love/I'll be there with you." 24 before the hour? What kind of hyper-specific crap is that?
	12:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Do You Remember?" by "Bodast" Holy hell. This rocks. And it's definitely Steve Howe on guitar.
	12:50pm Scott from Boston: Love Yes, and never have heard this. Thank you.
	12:51pm P-90!: Someone writing a review in Rolling Stone once described Steve’s guitar playing as “sinewy”
	12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: How did Steve Howe get to be such a great American sounding chicken picker? I should read up on him.
	12:51pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Do You Remember?" by "Bodast" They should try a take with some energy.
	12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Baby @12:51 Lol.
	12:51pm Cooh John: "Yes" reunited and played on Regis and Kathy Lee. They should have been called "No". Awful.
	12:52pm clarke: i don't mind early Yes, but i have especially gone back and dug Chris Squire's first solo album Fish Out Of Water.
	12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Do You Remember?" by "Bodast" This is now my new favorite single. Good God.
	12:52pm Charles: Good stuff Michael!
	12:52pm Hughie Considine: Sinewy is good. I always saw it as muscular. Same idea.
	12:52pm myron feld: One weekend in 1974 I saw the NY Dolls on Friday and Yes on Sunday. Such was my catholic (small c) youth.
	12:53pm Listener Baby: First Yes record is interesting. No Steve on that one.
	12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: The first few Yes records rock very, very hard.
	12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: Sometimes Yes are my favorite band. Lol.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:53 he was in Tomorrow, then, and kicking Bodast!
	12:54pm Montmaster J: Mrs. Montmaster (Marne) accepts the challenge!
	12:54pm clarke: mister vanderbocki, if you would just give me a chance to...
	12:55pm clarke: mister vanderbocki, if you would just give me a chance to...
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: "A portion of a song from the Bodast album titled "Nether Street" was renamed "Würm" and re-used as part of the song "Starship Trooper" from The Yes Album in 1971. Howe says fragments of songs he was working on for Bodast also turned up later in Yes's "South Side of the Sky" and "Close to the Edge", and in Asia's "One Step Closer", from that band's debut album.[1]"
	12:55pm Andres: I don’t think a coffee cake would make it across the border via the post otherwise we’d send one for the bake off. Thanks, Michael!
	12:56pm Montmaster J: ↳ myron feld @12:52 Nice!
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hüsker Dü is "do you remember" in Swedish.
	12:56pm Tom: Hey Mike, I’m remembering the interview you did with Norbert Putnam. I emailed him and got an invitation to have a glass of wine at the Thimbleton House.
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:53 I came in with Close to the Edge so hearing some of the early songs in Buffalo 66 spurred me to investigate the ones I'd missed, and I love 'em.
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Andres @12:55 it wouldn't make it across the Louisiana border!
	12:56pm Cheryl The Nerd: Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: That was swell. Thanks, Michael!
	12:57pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:56 I came in even later, they had that huge 80s hit album. I guess I'd heard some on radio. But that show solidified my love. I saw Jethro Tull, Yes, and Rush all in pretty rapid succession as a teenager. Broke my brain.
	12:57pm clarke: wally, tell beaver and his little friends that lunch is ready!!
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	12:58pm Moammar: Man, I really should have known better.

	12:59pm clarke: i can't do anything inside the state.
	12:59pm Squints: It's just some rope.
	12:59pm listener phat in Lincoln: Up to Nebraska! I forgot.
	12:59pm clarke: ever get the feeling you been roped? good nite. signed, lloyd wabbit.
	1:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: Gotta move some rope west of Omaha!
	1:00pm Hughie Considine: Kick my ass ... for a man!
	1:00pm Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @1:00 Move it to LA by way of Omaha.
	1:01pm drr: Pretty starry show, MS! Sparkling against the teal sky.

All of this author's works should be removed from Amazon."

	11:07am clarke: barry mantilow

	11:11am HyperDose: Michael have mercy! ☕🎶

	11:13am HyperDose: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @11:12 RIP Johnny Hockey and his brother Matthew
	11:14am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:13 moanin' suh!!
	11:15am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:14 Ahoy!
	11:15am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ HyperDose @11:13 Yeah, that was awful. The day of their funeral, BOTH of their wives announced they were pregnant.
	11:15am Listener Baby: I do not get that movie.
	11:16am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ clarke @11:13 That's ok, you still reminded me that HOCKEY PRE-SEASON STARTS TONIGHT!!!
	11:16am clarke: all wes is BRILLIANT!
	11:16am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:15 thats because you're so bloody rich!
	11:17am Andres: Good morning. Love Wes. Rushmore was my fave. Tannenbaums I disliked. Time to revisit both.
	11:17am common: i think that is the best wes anderson. "wild katten was written in an obsolete vernacular"
	11:18am Hughie Considine: Tenenbaums features "These Days," which got a great long write-up by Bob Mehr in the Times the other week, talking about the legacy of the song and its staying power.
	11:18am HyperDose: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @11:15 Not to mention it being on the eve of their sister's wedding. A terrible loss for the hockey community. But still excited about this season!
	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ Andres @11:17 With you there, Andres
	11:18am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:16 Asteroid City: not brilliant. Hated it. But I like others.
	11:18am Andres: Sex Pistols Jr.! Ha! Digging it!
	11:18am greg g: ↳ Song: "Judy Is A Punk" by "Ramones" I had the same feeling Michael while watching Royal Tennebaumms. Also, I teach high school and a student recently asked me my favorite movie and ( so tough) but I went with Rushmore ( for a while it was The Graduate ... also a great soundtrack)
	11:18am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:18 love it!
	11:18am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Hey there Michael Shelley! Hello Shellackers! Running late because I was in the shower! Happy Saturday!
	11:19am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Judy Is A Punk" by "Ramones" Good lord
	11:19am Cooh John: O-H...
	11:19am HyperDose: Astrud Gilberto songs always sound so beautiful
	11:20am Frank In Queens: All the drops!
	11:20am clarke: 1/10
	11:20am Moammar: A weird, belated, truncated bongo feet deployment.
	11:21am Moammar: ↳ Moammar @11:20 I have high standards -- and very specific ones -- for the bongo feet. This seems like a misfire.
	11:21am clarke: clarence!
	11:21am Kotzwinkled: Dylan in Lawrence here! My coaster is up there! Printing this playlist out and putting it on the fridge. Cheers, Mike and Co.!
	11:21am greg g: ↳ HyperDose @11:19 Second that HyperDose
	11:22am gf2002: I watched Asteroid City - For some reason the songs were mostly muted, I don't get that. But it felt like a movie that was waiting to break out into something great with one key scene that makes your eyes well up or you jump up and yell "damn!", and it never did. I'll have to watch it again.
	11:22am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:22 the stoic nature of the protaginist is the point of the film.
	11:23am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Michael and all! Got you tuned in at the Harrison Family garage sale. 138 Gubernat Dr in South Plainfield, NJ- come one come all!
	11:23am clarke: -protagonist
	11:23am drr: Give "The Grand Budapest Hotel" a second viewing; it's too much to take in on the first go-round. Also worth it for the fake Egon Schiele painting they made for it.
	11:23am myron feld: The "These Days" /Jackson Browne story in the NYT last week notes that the song inspired Anderson/Royal Tenenbaums.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ drr @11:23 and the codocil.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ drr @11:23 i have already blown the cover off of us missing Marty Stuart, last nite.
	11:25am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:22 Yes but I felt it needed something pivotal to happen beyond what was there to tie it together more, I kept waiting and waiting and it never came. Even the ending seemed too nicely wrapped to be memorable. All of the younger actors had good performances though.
	11:26am Michael Shelley: www.epicurious.com...
	11:26am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:25 all wes movies will get "better" down the line.
	11:27am myron feld: We served the Horsefeather at our Super Bowl party last year!
	11:28am clarke: you are epi-curious, apparently!
	11:28am Kotzwinkled: Thinking of switching to sugar free ginger beer for my Horsefeathers cause that stuff is SWEET.
	11:30am HyperDose: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:28 I'm a fan of the Arnold Palmer (w/unsweetened tea)
	11:30am clarke: and if you want more summer, just come to new orleans for two more months!
	11:30am Vertual: Random Concert Report: The db's played Asheville NC for the first time ever last night. It was positively blissful.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Vertual @11:30 that's great!!
	11:31am Frank In Queens: Yeah, two weeks!
	11:32am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Stacy's Mom" by "Fountains Of Wayne" BANGER
	11:32am clarke: stacy was not as chuffed!
	11:32am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Stacy's Mom" by "Fountains Of Wayne" What was the marching band director THINKING??
	11:33am drr: ↳ clarke @11:30 You ain't kiddin'.
	11:33am Michael Shelley: ↳ Andres @11:17 Agree - Rushmore is the Apex
	11:34am Michael Shelley: ↳ myron feld @11:18 Horrible
	11:34am davefromtoronto: ↳ Song: "Stacy's Mom" by "Fountains Of Wayne" AI pop
	11:34am StuartR: ↳ Song: "Stacy's Mom" by "Fountains Of Wayne" Big 10 Marching Band ?
	11:34am clarke: that gerald.
	11:34am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Stacy's Mom" by "Fountains Of Wayne" And the mind-blower is most if not all of the freshmen weren't born when the song came out. Or when I was playing it in cover bands.
	11:34am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:34am Cooh John: Is this to steer the college boys to the moms?
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:34 you don't FEEL tardy??
	11:35am Joe R.: ↳ clarke @11:34 lol!
	11:35am Sunny: All this stuff is Weezer’s fault.
	11:36am HyperDose: ↳ Sunny @11:35 I cackled at this
	11:36am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:35 Actaully been here for the whole thing so far. Forgot to hit "Post!" Call me Lanolin. Because I'm feelin' sheepish.
	11:36am greg g: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:18 Will look that up , thanks for the tip Hughie! I have his Replacements book . Wasn't he a guest on Michael's show last year??
	11:37am clarke: we've got a lot of rope to move, son! let's git after it!!
	11:37am Squints: ↳ HyperDose @11:36 Yup. Heh.
	11:37am HyperDose: Fountains of Wayne live set + interview: wfmu.org...
	11:37am Dr. Jeff: Hey Michael! Checking in - listening while driving around St. Louis. Sounding great as usual, my friend!
	11:37am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:36 now with lanolin!!
	11:38am gf2002: ↳ Song: "I'm A Fool" by "Rick Nelson" Rick Nelson - the original source of the phrase "more cowbell"
	11:38am Michael Shelley: ↳ Dr. Jeff @11:37 Have a Drews Custard for me!
	11:38am greg g: ↳ Song: "I'm A Fool" by "Rick Nelson" Diggin it
	11:39am myron feld: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:38 A concrete!
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Dr. Jeff @11:37 good doctor: is there any music venue in st. louis these days? i'll hand up and listen.
	11:39am Hughie Considine: ↳ greg g @11:36 He was indeed. One of the best music writers out there.
	11:40am Hughie Considine: I always thought that aspect of "Boys" was kind of surprising!
	11:40am Montmaster J: ↳ Moammar @11:06 I hear you. Saw Luisangel play on Tuesday...seems like the real deal. When Lindor comes back could be some good problems.
	11:40am Squints: ↳ Song: "Boys" by "Shirelles, The" Maybe not every day. But a lot of days, the best Beatles song ever.
	11:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:33 100 percent. It was his Rushmore, Max.
	11:41am clarke: the floating bookmobile guy!
	11:42am Moammar: ↳ Montmaster J @11:40 Let's hope we do not have to see Eddy Alvarez on the mound again. Although he did get that strikeout!
	11:42am Officer Pupp: Ringo doesn’t get much props as a vocalist, but he kills it on The Beatles’ version - on pitch, with commitment, vocal fry and vibrato - all while playing drums at the same time presumably.
	11:42am myron feld: ↳ Squints @11:40 Agreed. Just for the happy screams during the guitar break alone.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Officer Pupp @11:42 probably not in the studio, though he does kill it live!
	11:43am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Boys" by "Shirelles, The" The live version on the live Hollywood Bowl album is smoking hot. It goes back to the Hamburg days, Pete Best sang it, and Ringo sang it live before he was a Beatle.
	11:44am Cheryl The Nerd: Anyone going to see Ringo at RCMH on Wednesday?
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @11:44 did the beatles ever play Radio City?
	11:45am gf2002: No plans to see Ringo yet but I would love to see Colin Hay sing "Overkill" live since he's an All Starr now, one of my favorite songs of the 80's.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 saw him solo, once - he was really good!
	11:47am Joe B: beatles never played radio city
	11:47am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:45 No. Carnegie Hall and Shea Stadium were the sites of their NYC concerts.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Joe B @11:47 didn't think so..
	11:47am Hughie Considine: I found the Ringo All-Starr Band experience less the satisfying ultimately. For various reasons, not least of which was that I left humming "Africa," thanks to Steve Lukather's presence in that iteration.
	11:48am clarke: ouch!
	11:48am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:46 Colin had one of the best voices on 80's top-40 radio, I'd like to see him if I get the chance.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 you miss the rains..
	11:49am Joe B: ↳ clarke @11:47 1964 - Carnegie Hall, Forest Hills Stadium, Paramount Theater 1965 and1966 - Shea Stadium
	11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:48 "Overkill" was a true pop gem. I want to hear it now.
	11:49am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:48 That's 'cause we got 'em up heah, theah, this weekend.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Joe B @11:49 paramount is the one i was trying to think of!
	11:50am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:49 Yes! Seconded!
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:49 but i hear you need da rains.
	11:50am Kotzwinkled: I thought Mike was mourning Jimmie Dale Gilmore at first! He' playing KC this very evening!
	11:50am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:50 Dat we do.
	11:51am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Come On React" by "Fireballs, The" Numero uno!
	11:51am clarke: the wind... not so much!
	11:52am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:50 One of those weekends I'm glad to be two miles inland and 177 feet above seas. Whoops. 176 now, maybe.
	11:52am annette: not to drag you folks down, but sending a tender message to remember Jon Blickens. big fan of NRBQ. some of you remember him at NRBQ wild weekends.
	11:52am Listener Baby: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:49 I just went to YouTube and listened to it. Forgot about that one.
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:52 your mind is eroding!
	11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:51 Did anyone really call the wind "Mariah"? Always wondered about that.
	11:53am myron feld: ↳ Joe B @11:49 I forgot Forest Hills but never knew about the Paramount -- thanks! 60 years ago yesterday.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:52 it gives me the winds, son!
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Listener Baby @11:52 It's infectious. I can almost imagine Michael playing it.
	11:54am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:52 No. But I did once hear the wind cry "All I want for Christmas is you." Quite the ill wind.
	11:54am clarke: @Frank - yipes, just saw that newcastle just lost. sorry mate!
	11:56am gf2002: Check out the video of Overkill covered by Lazlo Bane on YT...it has to be the video because there is a cameo in the last verse that literally floored me the first time I saw that video on MTV many years ago. It was perfect, and in arguably the best part of the song. You'll have to trust me on this one...if you're a fan of the song.
	11:56am David L.: ↳ Song: "Come On React" by "Fireballs, The" Vocal phrasing sounded a little like what Zappa was invoking on the early Mothers albums...
	11:56am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:54 Just relegate Everton now and put us out of our misery.
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:56 merseyside mourneth.
	11:58am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:54 haha. There's a "pass wind" pun that's eluding me...
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:58 it's all hot air!
	11:58am Squints: The blatt was anything but cleansing.
	11:59am Pedro in Arlington: The funny thing is 40 years ago, sports were an afterthought at Northwestern and everyone was fine with that. Now they have fancy facilities, scandals with fired coaches suing etc. Of course the frat scene was always dopey. Go Cats.
	12:00pm Scott from Boston: Can get much better than this Camera Obscura song!
	12:00pm clarke: no.
	12:00pm Squints: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:00 Coulda swore I'd clicky-starred it before. Probably on some other show. There. I said it. I also listen to other shows.
	12:01pm clarke: can't maybe?
	12:01pm Scott from Boston: Squints! 😝
	12:02pm Listener Baby: Baby. You’re Killing it so far. Not Stunning it. Clean kills. I believe in you!
	12:02pm Squints: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:01 I mean, not from 11-1 on Saturdays. That would be madness.
	12:02pm clarke: ze strings - they swings!!
	12:02pm Pedro in Arlington: The db's played the Orrington Hotel for Pumpkin Prom in 1985. I missed most of the show waiting for a beer delivery.
	12:02pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "French Navy" by "Camera Obscura" Good band, good song! Nice to hear on the radio
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Song: "You Can't Go Home Again" by "Cyrkle, The" geniuses!
	12:03pm Scott from Boston: Quite honestly all day on the main channel!
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: Going to see Dave Alvin tomorrow. Sadly, Jimmie Dale Gilmore won't be joining him. He has Covid.
	12:04pm morphe': ↳ Song: "French Navy" by "Camera Obscura" Never knew Camera Obscura were/are from Norway.... WFMU OnLine University !!!
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:03 yike!
	12:04pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "You Can't Go Home Again" by "Cyrkle, The" Man those drums were recorded bone-dry except for one reverbed hit after the choruses, which was kind of rare for the mid-60's. That snare just pops...
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "You Can't Go Home Again" by "Cyrkle, The" Everything I've heard by the Cyrkle that hasn't been one of their big hits has been delightful.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ morphe' @12:04 glasgow, i believe.
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:04 I think he's fine.
	12:05pm clarke: NW has a good team this year!
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:05 how YOU doin'??
	12:06pm Nick From Paterson: Their name THE CYRCLE supposedly selected by Brian's other client, John Lennon
	12:06pm Hughie Considine: Wow, never watched a college football game. Most people in the US have I guess. I've never eaten a hard-boiled egg.
	12:07pm clarke: i've never seen Grease (which i hear is the word?)
	12:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:06 I'm good! Busy as all hell.
	12:07pm Hubig Pie: ↳ morphe' @12:04 They Glaswegians but I'm sure you knew that.
	12:08pm myron feld: Wildcats getting 12 points today, MS -- want me to get something down for you?
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:07 how's the cabinetry goin'?
	12:08pm Pedro in Arlington: NU used to be quite bad at sports. The basketball coach would say "I bleed purple" after a loss. He bled a lot. Mojo Nixon and the Beat Farmers were great at the bar in the student center. Now even the bar is gone.
	12:08pm gf2002: I've been to more college football games in person than I've watched on TV. I've also never seen the original Beetlejuice or watched a single minute of a Harry Potter movie.
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:07 where yat??
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:07 Interesting what we avoid or just slips through the cracks.
	12:08pm Shannon: ↳ Song: "You Can't Go Home Again" by "Cyrkle, The" My dad saw the Beatles in Detroit when the Cyrkle opened. The Cyrkle gave out red rubber balls to the crowd as a promo. During the Beatles set my dad asked to borrow his seatmate's binoculars — just in time to see John Lennon get bopped on the head by one of the red rubber balls.
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @12:04 YEAH - that one hit = genius!
	12:09pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:08 Going slowly. I've had no time. I'm hoping to get something down today, though.
	12:09pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Outside Man" by "Junior Parker" Insanely good groove
	12:09pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:07 Neither have I...I just can't. I thought the bird was the word?
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:08 avoid.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:09 surprisin' eh?
	12:10pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Shannon @12:08 Now that is a Beatles story!
	12:11pm clarke: the mornin' sun is shining!
	12:12pm Pedro in Arlington: Back in the day before insurance fears, beer companies had big freebie tailgates outside Dyche Stadium. Students would get ripped by 11 am and never go inside for the game and you just had to flash ID to get in free. The mens bathrooms had those classic troughs instead of urinals, just like Wrigley. Beauties that filled like ponds.
	12:13pm Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @12:04 Roy Hayee at the knobs, if I’m not mistaken. Possibly the best that ever was.
	12:14pm clarke: haylee.
	12:14pm gf2002: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:12 When college was college! Last time I was at Fenway they still had the troughs too, but that was years ago.
	12:14pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Sure Shot" by "Beastie Boys" He's gone off the deep end! 🫧🐠
	12:14pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @12:14 Not wearing my glasses
	12:15pm listener phat in Lincoln: @clarke how are you doing?
	12:15pm clarke: my eyes don't see too good.
	12:15pm Scott from Boston: Am i immature for liking the Beasties?
	12:15pm Mister Dobalina: I really the dog bark opening.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:15 swell, sir!
	12:16pm KWilde: Hi-energy today. Michael must be hitting the non-decaf
	12:16pm Mister Dobalina: That instrumental album they put out is great, IMO.
	12:16pm steveo: ↳ Mister Dobalina @12:15 I did a classic cartoon-style double take
	12:17pm money&pain: ↳ Shannon @12:08 That is a chilling.
	12:17pm Pedro in Arlington: Cindy Crawford was an electrical engineering major at Northwestern. For about six months. The she realized she could make $500K an hour without a degree.
	12:17pm Mister Dobalina: ↳ steveo @12:16 Rue rue Rooooh
	12:17pm myron feld: ↳ clarke @12:14 Halee, as immortalized in "A Simple Desultory Philippic:" "I been Roy Halleed and Art Garfunkeled..."
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:15 How's the record making?
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:17 nuthin' but hitz!
	12:18pm Listener Baby: Just saw Rickey play the drums 2 nights ago. He’s not bad.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ myron feld @12:17 but not simonized.
	12:19pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Sure Shot" by "Beastie Boys" The dog saying "I love you" was sampled from a Little Caesars' pizza commercial...that alone qualifies the song for brilliant status. And the video by Spike Jonze is great too
	12:19pm Squints: For a second I was waiting for the rest of out power to go out here.
	12:19pm Listener Baby: Oh. Not Rickey?
	12:20pm Dennis: I do believe that’s Ricky Fataar on drums (H&V)
	12:20pm steveo: Which boys are next???
	12:20pm clarke: i think Ricky plays on the album version.
	12:21pm clarke: we ALL want to be part of The Coffee Cake Conspiracy - but, tis a long commute for some of us.
	12:21pm Dennis: IMHO the Central Park ‘71 recording of H&V is the best live recording (which is Kowalski on drums)
	12:22pm morphe': ↳ clarke @12:05 Yes .. I thought Uk but thought I heard Norway over the mike ??? ... was in the kitchen... must have been the mold on the warming chevre' wafting into my remaining, semi-functional brain cells
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Dennis @12:21 is this available commercially?
	12:23pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "I Got A Thing About You Baby" by "Billy Lee Riley" Do leisure suits have a sound?
	12:23pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:06 I love hard boiled eggs. I've never eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Moammar @12:23 a double-knit sound
	12:24pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:23 For double knit spies.
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:23 but you have seen Grease.
	12:25pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: I am watching Marshall - Ohio State while I listen. Love me some college football on a fall Saturday afternoon. Love me some Michael Shelley on a fall Saturday, too.
	12:26pm gf2002: ↳ Dennis @12:21 I agree, and there's video of it too - pure energy and the crowd is really into it. There is a somewhat "lost" video of Brian Wilson and his band playing the song on Conan O'Brien's show that is a killer performance, all I have of that is the audio. The drummers on the original sessions were a mix of Jim Gordon, Hal Blaine, and various percussionists including Dennis. It's hard to keep track because of all the edits.
	12:26pm clarke: geaux tigers in a lil' while!
	12:26pm Hubig Pie: ↳ drr @12:23 I recommend the PB with orange marm-e-lard.
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:18 Can't wait to hear it
	12:26pm morphe': ↳ Moammar @12:23 Moammar: ↳ Song: "I Got A Thing About You Baby" by "Billy Lee Riley" Do leisure suits have a sound? making me think of the first time I heard the swish... swish...swish of guys in the Sat market on the Roman Rd East London walking by in their poly crapola sports suits though they were not going to Footie..
	12:26pm gf2002: ↳ Moammar @12:23 Yes - "The Hustle" by Van McCoy
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:23 I see that. No PB&Js for me either, although I love nuts of all kinds.
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:26 me, either!
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:27 don't get him started!
	12:29pm Listener Baby: ↳ myron feld @12:17 "This is, of course, a take-off, a take-on, a private joke, but no joke is all that private or any less serious for being a joke."
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:28 (Best In Show ref)
	12:29pm Squints: ↳ gf2002 @12:26 Herb Tarlik's voice.
	12:30pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:27 Same. And I like jelly. There's no accounting for it. It's like chocolate and fruit. I don't like that, some people do.
	12:30pm clarke: oh that gerald!!
	12:31pm gf2002: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:22 The video of H&V in Central Park was included in the documentary "An American Band" from '85 or so
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Do-Wah-Diddy (demo)" by "Ellie Greenwich" whoah! drums!
	12:32pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Do-Wah-Diddy (demo)" by "Ellie Greenwich" So much better than the released version.
	12:32pm gf2002: ↳ Squints @12:29 Haha, yes! With the white shoes of course. Speaking of 'KRP Bailey Quarters was an early crush of mine...
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:30 Billy Crystal as Buddy Young Jr. does a bit about baked apple: "Who the hell heats fruit?" Hot fruit is another one I avoid. And fruity soups.
	12:33pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:32 I think this is the Bailey Quarters demographic, right here.
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Ballad Of Forty Dollars" by "Tom T Hall" TTH!!!
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Ballad Of Forty Dollars" by "Tom T Hall" Now this is a fricken story song.
	12:34pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:33 mmmm hmmmm
	12:35pm Mister Dobalina: I'm selling my FMU sticker collection.
	12:35pm clarke: The One With The Brown Eyes non-withstanding.
	12:36pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:35 um, yeah
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:36 back to your quarters!!
	12:37pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:35 So I roved and I roved and I roved and I roved.
	12:38pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:37 I'll be in my bunk.
	12:38pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "As Tears Go By" by "Esther Phillips" Died very young in Torrance Ca. I’ve been to Torrance, I wanted to die too.
	12:38pm clarke: you pulled night watch.
	12:39pm drr: ↳ Mister Dobalina @12:35 Which ones ya got? I sold off a couple with my truck.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:39 RIP Goldie!!
	12:40pm P-90!: with CELEBRITY JUDGES!
	12:40pm listener phat in Lincoln: If my work weren't so crazy, I'd fly to NJ for this meetup.
	12:40pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:40 I miss Goldie! New car is great though.
	12:41pm gf2002: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
	12:41pm clarke: stop'n'shop
	12:41pm Listener Baby: Baby. Can’t really blame the people? Can we?
	12:41pm ben & Reba: Radio on
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:41 les nessman did too.
	12:41pm listener phat in Lincoln: I'm in love with Massachusetts...
	12:42pm egould: I’m in love with motorik!
	12:42pm KWilde: Hi-energy is a good thing!
	12:42pm Rex: Clash of the Coffee Cakes!! October 5th! 11 AM!! Monty Hall. Be There!
	12:42pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Roadrunner" by "Modern Lovers, The" Don't ya know you'll stain the carpet.....
	12:43pm listener phat in Lincoln: Goddamn. I need to get back to the Bay State soon. Maybe this new job will work out and I'll be able to take a decent vacation for once.
	12:43pm Pedro in Arlington: Two NU alums in the same biz: Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert-a transfer. Thankfully no claim to Jimmy Fallon.
	12:43pm Listener Baby: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:42 I smell a delicious annual event brewing.
	12:44pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:43 has Seth Meyers ever said anything that was funny?
	12:44pm clarke: bye bye!
	12:45pm HyperDose: Many thanks, Michael. See ya on the flippity!
	12:46pm Cheryl The Nerd: Orders received. Mission accepted. ;)
	12:46pm clarke: there's a quite entertaining new "interview" with Andy Partridge on the youtube.. Q&A of sorts..
	12:47pm Listener Baby: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:46 Cheryl is in? This just got real.
	12:47pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Jet Pac Boomerang" by "Nick Lowe" 3 Nick Lowe tunes in one show?? AMAZING! Now we just need to spin one of those new Greg Townson tunes. Maybe next week.
	12:47pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:44 I've wondered the same thing
	12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: I don't think I'm going to the bakery.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 no donuts?
	12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: One of my first concerts was Yes and they absolutely blew my mind.
	12:49pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 I'm thinking not.
	12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:44 He's been calling Cheeto Benito and the other gargoyles "weirdos" years before Gov. Walz. The Closer Look segments are incisive.
	12:49pm Montmaster J: If I recall Bob Stinson was a big Yes fan.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Montmaster J @12:49 he was!
	12:50pm Hughie Considine: The line in "Roundabout" that always got me is "24 before my love/I'll be there with you." 24 before the hour? What kind of hyper-specific crap is that?
	12:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Do You Remember?" by "Bodast" Holy hell. This rocks. And it's definitely Steve Howe on guitar.
	12:50pm Scott from Boston: Love Yes, and never have heard this. Thank you.
	12:51pm P-90!: Someone writing a review in Rolling Stone once described Steve’s guitar playing as “sinewy”
	12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: How did Steve Howe get to be such a great American sounding chicken picker? I should read up on him.
	12:51pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Do You Remember?" by "Bodast" They should try a take with some energy.
	12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Baby @12:51 Lol.
	12:51pm Cooh John: "Yes" reunited and played on Regis and Kathy Lee. They should have been called "No". Awful.
	12:52pm clarke: i don't mind early Yes, but i have especially gone back and dug Chris Squire's first solo album Fish Out Of Water.
	12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Do You Remember?" by "Bodast" This is now my new favorite single. Good God.
	12:52pm Charles: Good stuff Michael!
	12:52pm Hughie Considine: Sinewy is good. I always saw it as muscular. Same idea.
	12:52pm myron feld: One weekend in 1974 I saw the NY Dolls on Friday and Yes on Sunday. Such was my catholic (small c) youth.
	12:53pm Listener Baby: First Yes record is interesting. No Steve on that one.
	12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: The first few Yes records rock very, very hard.
	12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: Sometimes Yes are my favorite band. Lol.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:53 he was in Tomorrow, then, and kicking Bodast!
	12:54pm Montmaster J: Mrs. Montmaster (Marne) accepts the challenge!
	12:54pm clarke: mister vanderbocki, if you would just give me a chance to...
	12:55pm clarke: mister vanderbocki, if you would just give me a chance to...
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: "A portion of a song from the Bodast album titled "Nether Street" was renamed "Würm" and re-used as part of the song "Starship Trooper" from The Yes Album in 1971. Howe says fragments of songs he was working on for Bodast also turned up later in Yes's "South Side of the Sky" and "Close to the Edge", and in Asia's "One Step Closer", from that band's debut album.[1]"
	12:55pm Andres: I don’t think a coffee cake would make it across the border via the post otherwise we’d send one for the bake off. Thanks, Michael!
	12:56pm Montmaster J: ↳ myron feld @12:52 Nice!
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hüsker Dü is "do you remember" in Swedish.
	12:56pm Tom: Hey Mike, I’m remembering the interview you did with Norbert Putnam. I emailed him and got an invitation to have a glass of wine at the Thimbleton House.
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:53 I came in with Close to the Edge so hearing some of the early songs in Buffalo 66 spurred me to investigate the ones I'd missed, and I love 'em.
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Andres @12:55 it wouldn't make it across the Louisiana border!
	12:56pm Cheryl The Nerd: Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: That was swell. Thanks, Michael!
	12:57pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:56 I came in even later, they had that huge 80s hit album. I guess I'd heard some on radio. But that show solidified my love. I saw Jethro Tull, Yes, and Rush all in pretty rapid succession as a teenager. Broke my brain.
	12:57pm clarke: wally, tell beaver and his little friends that lunch is ready!!
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	12:58pm Moammar: Man, I really should have known better.
	12:58pm listener phat in Lincoln: Alright everyone, have a great day. Great show Michael, as always.
	12:58pm clarke: moving some rope?
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:57 But in a good way. Me too!
	12:59pm clarke: i can't do anything inside the state.
	12:59pm Squints: It's just some rope.
	12:59pm listener phat in Lincoln: Up to Nebraska! I forgot.
	12:59pm clarke: ever get the feeling you been roped? good nite. signed, lloyd wabbit.
	1:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: Gotta move some rope west of Omaha!
	1:00pm Hughie Considine: Kick my ass ... for a man!
	1:00pm Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @1:00 Move it to LA by way of Omaha.
	1:01pm drr: Pretty starry show, MS! Sparkling against the teal sky.
