	♥ 12:43am coelacanth∅: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @12:41 safe as milf...not by my experience!

	♥ 12:49am coelacanth∅: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @12:45 hahaha!
	12:50am Jacky: Didn't Big Star and Badfinger once play a show together? Boston I think?
	♥ 12:51am Mark T: ↳ Song: "Something Deep Inside" by "Alex Chilton" Love it. Still very 60’s sound.
	12:51am rychurd: hey hey Mike!
	♥ 12:52am Chili MacPagoda: Mike setting his own mood and simultaneously conjuring up thee Perfumed Garden…not bad at all 🔥
	12:53am ?: ↳ Jacky @12:50 Is Badfinger the middle finger
	♥ 12:55am Mark T: ↳ Song: "Crazy Town (Move On Little Children)" by "Superfi... Wow, nothing like the 60’s folk music scene.
	♥ 12:56am Ben in Newark: ↳ Song: "Lovin' You" by "Orpheus" That bosstown sound...
	♥ 12:56am David Shortell: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:29 Who was on the bill? I'm never informed about Meatlocker shows.
	♥ 12:58am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Grass" by "Pretty Things" whoa, forgot about this one. ...this Great one.
	12:58am Jacky: ↳ @12:53 Neil Aspinall proposed the name, inspired by "Bad Finger Boogie"--the working title of the Beatles' "With A Little Help From My Friends"--so named because Lennon was injured and playing the piano with a single finger
	♥ 12:59am Hoboken Jack: ↳ David Shortell @12:56 Just locals: Ray Bally Band, youngsters Neptune and the Sailor, and Subskin Cables who had incredible Cameroon drummer Jojo Kuo with them.
	♥ 12:59am drr: ↳ Song: "Grass" by "Pretty Things" Surface noise on this made me think someone was outside raking leaves (in the dead of night).
	1:00am Jacky: ↳ Song: "Grass" by "Pretty Things" Hot take: Parachute is better than SF Sorrow
	♥ 1:01am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Ben in Newark @12:56 Hey Ben!
	♥ 1:03am David Shortell: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:59 I spent the night seeing the old English punk band The Skeptix on a Lakewood golf course.
	♥ 1:04am Hoboken Jack: ↳ David Shortell @1:03 That sounds pretty cool! No rain?
	♥ 1:06am Ben in Newark: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:01 Hey there Jack! How's it going?
	1:07am rychurd: this Sam gopal LP is in my permanent top 10. perfect for a late night sesh
	1:09am Jacky: ↳ rychurd @1:07 Lemmy on vocals and guitar!
	♥ 1:09am coelacanth∅: ↳ Jacky @1:00 i don't agree; but it's definitely underrated (i'm more of a first 2 albums guy in any case)
	1:10am Jacky: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:09 Yeah early stuff is the best stuff if you ask me
	♥ 1:10am David Shortell: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:04 A ton of rain! It was in the basement bar of Maggie's at the Lakewood Country Club.
	♥ 1:11am coelacanth∅: ↳ Jacky @1:10 it never wears out!
	1:19am Jacky: Just the wildest rawest band. You know Mick Jagger saw them on TOTP and thought they were too wild and too beautiful so he phoned the producer and told them if they ever had them on again the Stones would never appear on the show again?
	♥ 1:23am coelacanth∅: ↳ Jacky @1:19 do you think that's true? it's certainly in line with Jagger's cut-throat character.
	1:29am bigplanetnoise: Fantastic set, Mike!
	♥ 1:31am JWRigolet: I didn’t expect Alan to be in tonight, so I wanted to see who was filling in. Glad I did. This is my kind of show! Thanks DJ!
	1:32am Jacky: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:23 i think i read that story in Ugly Things. yeah I'd totally believe it based on Jagger's personality. Also what's up with all these English rock stars discovering the people they thought were their mothers weren't actually their mothers? Phil May, Clapton, some others I am forgetting
	♥ 1:36am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Park My Car" by "Miles Over Matter" the singing on that really reminded me of someone, but... Graham Parker? not sure
	♥ 1:38am coelacanth∅: ↳ Jacky @1:32 haha,really?! i hadn't heard about this!
	1:40am Jacky: ↳ Song: "What In the World" by "Dukes Of Stratosphear" Reminds me of "Mister Windowpane" by the Stairs, who if you didn't know were kind of the Stones to the La's' Beatles. Their album Mexican R n B is fun. I believe Edgar Summertyme from that band is much admired by people like Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller
	1:47am rychurd: The Stairs fkn ROOL!!!
	♥ 1:47am Mike Sin: Thanks so much for all the comments! Wish I could jump on here a bit more and chat, but I'm still sorting through these records... still sequencing and all that
	1:47am Jacky: ↳ Mike Sin @1:47 Thanks for the great music, Mike! Enjoying the vibe.
	♥ 1:49am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "My Head Explodes" by "Ty Segall" thought this was marcy playground for a second!
	1:49am Jacky: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:49 haha me too!
	1:51am Jacky: More on Edgar Summertyme (née Jones): Since the break-up of the Stairs, Jones has worked with Ian McCulloch on Mysterio (1992), Paul Weller (live and appears on Live at the Royal Albert Hall DVD, 2000), Johnny Marr in an early version of the Healers (where he was replaced by Alonza Bevan previously of Kula Shaker), Saint Etienne, Cherry Ghost on their Thirst For Romance (2007) and Lee Mavers following the departure of John Power from the La's.
	1:53am ChristinaInCanada: ↳ Mike Sin @1:47 This music is buzzing serendipity. I was unaware of such music late in my evening (UTC -7)
	♥ 2:00am Paulo AD: Morning all, this show is very much my cup of tea :)
	♥ 2:03am Aitch: Wild sounds Mike
	♥ 2:03am chinn: The set is freaked out and fantastic! Sounding great.
	♥ 2:11am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Park My Car" by "Miles Over Matter" Ironically I've been driving around in circles the past half hour or so trying to park my car -- some hangtag-having NY vehicle is in my reserved disabled space, and they won't tow a car with a hangtag. Grrr.
	♥ 2:12am Hoboken Jack: But was extra thankful to have Mike and his music coming out of my car radio.
	♥ 2:15am 7uring7est: I think they really mean it, the demon thing I mean
	♥ 2:26am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Gotta Get Your Mind Made Up" by "The Flame" is this the rutles?!
	♥ 2:28am Mike Sin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:26 Features a Rutle and two Beach Boys
	♥ 2:34am coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Sin @2:28 ha! i do see it has a beach boy producing! (my favorite beach boy,no less)
	♥ 2:35am Mark T: ↳ Song: "Going Back to Big Sur" by "Johnny Rivers" Ah , Big Sur. Back in 1997 I went to the Esalen Institute there. What a weekend.
	♥ 2:36am Mike Sin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:34 Blondie and Rikki both officially joined the Beach Boys!
	♥ 2:36am coelacanth∅: ...oh i see what you mean. the names Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar are only vaguely familiar to me.
	♥ 2:37am coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Sin @2:36 hmmm, interrresting!
	♥ 2:39am tom tom the pipers son: they were carls buddies...to chime in...
	♥ 2:41am drr: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:36 Ricky Fataar was the Rutle.
	♥ 2:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:39 or pet project might be more accurate
	♥ 2:46am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Aht Uh Mi Hed" by "Shuggie Otis" whoaa... i thought of this song a few hours ago. 2 songs (consecutively) that Evan (Flash strap) played reminded me of it.
	♥ 2:46am coelacanth∅: ↳ drr @2:41 right i just read that. i feel i should've known...
	♥ 2:56am Aitch: Thanks Mike, great stuff
	♥ 2:56am coelacanth∅: holy crap it's 3 already?
	♥ 2:57am drr: nice show, thanks!
	♥ 2:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Mike!
	♥ 2:58am JWRigolet: Time flies with Great Music!
	♥ 3:04am Mike Sin: Thanks so much everybody!

	♥ 12:55am Mark T: ↳ Song: "Crazy Town (Move On Little Children)" by "Superfi... Wow, nothing like the 60’s folk music scene.
	♥ 12:56am Ben in Newark: ↳ Song: "Lovin' You" by "Orpheus" That bosstown sound...
	♥ 12:56am David Shortell: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:29 Who was on the bill? I'm never informed about Meatlocker shows.
	♥ 12:58am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Grass" by "Pretty Things" whoa, forgot about this one. ...this Great one.
	12:58am Jacky: ↳ @12:53 Neil Aspinall proposed the name, inspired by "Bad Finger Boogie"--the working title of the Beatles' "With A Little Help From My Friends"--so named because Lennon was injured and playing the piano with a single finger
	♥ 12:59am Hoboken Jack: ↳ David Shortell @12:56 Just locals: Ray Bally Band, youngsters Neptune and the Sailor, and Subskin Cables who had incredible Cameroon drummer Jojo Kuo with them.
	♥ 12:59am drr: ↳ Song: "Grass" by "Pretty Things" Surface noise on this made me think someone was outside raking leaves (in the dead of night).
	1:00am Jacky: ↳ Song: "Grass" by "Pretty Things" Hot take: Parachute is better than SF Sorrow
	♥ 1:01am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Ben in Newark @12:56 Hey Ben!
	♥ 1:03am David Shortell: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:59 I spent the night seeing the old English punk band The Skeptix on a Lakewood golf course.
	♥ 1:04am Hoboken Jack: ↳ David Shortell @1:03 That sounds pretty cool! No rain?
	♥ 1:06am Ben in Newark: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:01 Hey there Jack! How's it going?
	1:07am rychurd: this Sam gopal LP is in my permanent top 10. perfect for a late night sesh
	1:09am Jacky: ↳ rychurd @1:07 Lemmy on vocals and guitar!
	♥ 1:09am coelacanth∅: ↳ Jacky @1:00 i don't agree; but it's definitely underrated (i'm more of a first 2 albums guy in any case)
	1:10am Jacky: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:09 Yeah early stuff is the best stuff if you ask me
	♥ 1:10am David Shortell: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:04 A ton of rain! It was in the basement bar of Maggie's at the Lakewood Country Club.
	♥ 1:11am coelacanth∅: ↳ Jacky @1:10 it never wears out!
	1:19am Jacky: Just the wildest rawest band. You know Mick Jagger saw them on TOTP and thought they were too wild and too beautiful so he phoned the producer and told them if they ever had them on again the Stones would never appear on the show again?
	♥ 1:23am coelacanth∅: ↳ Jacky @1:19 do you think that's true? it's certainly in line with Jagger's cut-throat character.
	1:29am bigplanetnoise: Fantastic set, Mike!
	♥ 1:31am JWRigolet: I didn’t expect Alan to be in tonight, so I wanted to see who was filling in. Glad I did. This is my kind of show! Thanks DJ!
	1:32am Jacky: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:23 i think i read that story in Ugly Things. yeah I'd totally believe it based on Jagger's personality. Also what's up with all these English rock stars discovering the people they thought were their mothers weren't actually their mothers? Phil May, Clapton, some others I am forgetting
	♥ 1:36am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Park My Car" by "Miles Over Matter" the singing on that really reminded me of someone, but... Graham Parker? not sure
	♥ 1:38am coelacanth∅: ↳ Jacky @1:32 haha,really?! i hadn't heard about this!
	1:40am Jacky: ↳ Song: "What In the World" by "Dukes Of Stratosphear" Reminds me of "Mister Windowpane" by the Stairs, who if you didn't know were kind of the Stones to the La's' Beatles. Their album Mexican R n B is fun. I believe Edgar Summertyme from that band is much admired by people like Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller
	1:47am rychurd: The Stairs fkn ROOL!!!
	♥ 1:47am Mike Sin: Thanks so much for all the comments! Wish I could jump on here a bit more and chat, but I'm still sorting through these records... still sequencing and all that
	1:47am Jacky: ↳ Mike Sin @1:47 Thanks for the great music, Mike! Enjoying the vibe.
	♥ 1:49am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "My Head Explodes" by "Ty Segall" thought this was marcy playground for a second!
	1:49am Jacky: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:49 haha me too!
	1:51am Jacky: More on Edgar Summertyme (née Jones): Since the break-up of the Stairs, Jones has worked with Ian McCulloch on Mysterio (1992), Paul Weller (live and appears on Live at the Royal Albert Hall DVD, 2000), Johnny Marr in an early version of the Healers (where he was replaced by Alonza Bevan previously of Kula Shaker), Saint Etienne, Cherry Ghost on their Thirst For Romance (2007) and Lee Mavers following the departure of John Power from the La's.
	1:53am ChristinaInCanada: ↳ Mike Sin @1:47 This music is buzzing serendipity. I was unaware of such music late in my evening (UTC -7)
	♥ 2:00am Paulo AD: Morning all, this show is very much my cup of tea :)
	♥ 2:03am Aitch: Wild sounds Mike
	♥ 2:03am chinn: The set is freaked out and fantastic! Sounding great.
	♥ 2:11am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Park My Car" by "Miles Over Matter" Ironically I've been driving around in circles the past half hour or so trying to park my car -- some hangtag-having NY vehicle is in my reserved disabled space, and they won't tow a car with a hangtag. Grrr.
	♥ 2:12am Hoboken Jack: But was extra thankful to have Mike and his music coming out of my car radio.
	♥ 2:15am 7uring7est: I think they really mean it, the demon thing I mean
	♥ 2:26am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Gotta Get Your Mind Made Up" by "The Flame" is this the rutles?!
	♥ 2:28am Mike Sin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:26 Features a Rutle and two Beach Boys
	♥ 2:34am coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Sin @2:28 ha! i do see it has a beach boy producing! (my favorite beach boy,no less)
	♥ 2:35am Mark T: ↳ Song: "Going Back to Big Sur" by "Johnny Rivers" Ah , Big Sur. Back in 1997 I went to the Esalen Institute there. What a weekend.
	♥ 2:36am Mike Sin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:34 Blondie and Rikki both officially joined the Beach Boys!
	♥ 2:36am coelacanth∅: ...oh i see what you mean. the names Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar are only vaguely familiar to me.
	♥ 2:37am coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Sin @2:36 hmmm, interrresting!
	♥ 2:39am tom tom the pipers son: they were carls buddies...to chime in...
	♥ 2:41am drr: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:36 Ricky Fataar was the Rutle.
	♥ 2:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:39 or pet project might be more accurate
	♥ 2:46am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Aht Uh Mi Hed" by "Shuggie Otis" whoaa... i thought of this song a few hours ago. 2 songs (consecutively) that Evan (Flash strap) played reminded me of it.
	♥ 2:46am coelacanth∅: ↳ drr @2:41 right i just read that. i feel i should've known...
	♥ 2:56am Aitch: Thanks Mike, great stuff
	♥ 2:56am coelacanth∅: holy crap it's 3 already?
	♥ 2:57am drr: nice show, thanks!
	♥ 2:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Mike!
	♥ 2:58am JWRigolet: Time flies with Great Music!
	♥ 3:04am Mike Sin: Thanks so much everybody!
