	12:12pm Sissophonic Cheryl: @Gaylord, Todd-O-Phonic has been going to the gym, you have to admit it's paid off!
	12:17pm common: there he is

	12:19pm blee: I'm enjoying the beachy tunes, Todd-O-Phonic!

	12:35pm sinner: Todd--Check this vid. first ever live performance of Let's Go To The Beach. From last year in Lars Espensen's Alabama kitchen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9riXAQ0xhB0
	12:37pm KP: Blue Cheer vs. New Improved Tide
	12:39pm geokopp: It's shocking that we still haven't found a cure for this devastating disease!
	12:42pm Johnny_A: not aggressive enough!
	12:43pm Johnny_A: as far as I know the only man to rhyme wahta with oughta !
	12:44pm blee: Critics, critics everywhere. This is freeform radio!
	12:44pm rf: thanks for playing rising tide!
	12:45pm t_J: well i guess nickname change on the way
	12:46pm t_J: Hi Todd, thanks for the mention, it wouldn't be good to me
	12:47pm t_J: just good exposure to the sun, skin toasting, marinade under the clouds in watered clear sky, and all its risks
	12:51pm Neg-guh-tor: This is by far the best Ray Stevens song I've ever heard and only because of that bong sound.
	12:52pm geokopp: Are you channeling Jonesey??
	12:52pm @ book in the shade: there's nothing more pleasingly beautiful than being out on the nature
	12:52pm Greg from Bloomfield: There may be better songs than "Brandy"...but I can't think of any off-hand...
	12:52pm blee: I once got a small conical snail shell imbedded completely in my big toe, while coming in from surfing on a trip down in Mexico. You have to walk on slippery cobblestones to get back to the beach, snails on the cobbles. Good thing I always keep a small swiss army knife on my keychain!
	12:53pm KOTJ: I'm craving the vocal or instrumental version of Grazing in the Grass.
	12:54pm Neg-guh-tor: I always imagined Brandy to be not as attractive as they were making out.
	12:55pm bobdoesthings: What's everyone having for lunch?
	12:55pm Chris: Enjoyed the Old English Surfer, listening here in England. England has got some excellent surfing beaches, like the two at Newquay - oh and also Perranporth. Good mix of tunes anyway!
	12:59pm Bluesman: One of the few "fan mail" type letters I ever wrote was to the Hard-Ons! They wrote back too.
	12:59pm d¢ pät: I had a veggie patty melt...not the greatest but I was hungry.
	1:00pm Johnny_A: I have a cousin named Brandy - specifically after that tune, so my uncle told me.
	1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...copy of 'Surfin' on Heroin' anywhere?...
	1:02pm Mike East: @bobdoesthings: I've got a fried eggplant, tomato, cucumber, arugala sandwich with garlic hummus....side of chips and pickles, of course.
	1:04pm bobdoesthings: @mike east.. hmmm sounds good. I'll probably cave and get a crummy sandwich from the nearby bodega.. erggh
	1:07pm KOTJ: Surfin' on Heroin is riddled with F-expletives, sadly.
	1:08pm bigstarbk: Incredibly great show Todd!!!
	1:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ✔ : (
	1:10pm Mike East: crummy bodega sandwich can be good...side of chips and pickles makes it better.
	1:10pm Cheri Pi: sweet chili paste with tofu, fiery hot. sticky mango rice for dessert
	1:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Our workgroup had a contest during the World Cup. The person with the fewest correct picks buys pizza. So feasted on free pepperoni and pepper & onion pizza slices today. We plan to do it again come 2018.
	1:14pm Mike East: free is the best lunch
	1:14pm Neg-guh-tor: Aces, Todd!
	1:15pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Peanut butter!!!! And strawberry jam! Having lunch with my Todd-O-Phonic!
	1:17pm SeanG: SWEET!!
	1:18pm blee: @Sissophonic Cheryl: That reminds me, I need to buy jelly today! Thanks.
	1:18pm bobdoesthings: www.archiefans.com...
	1:19pm d¢ pät: wow. Go Gos...
	1:20pm Lewis: I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help, help, help, help) I, I, I wanna guard your life I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard) Hardly any clothes (lifeguard) Sand between my toes (lifeguard) White stuff on my nose
	1:25pm Neg-guh-tor: Raspberries did The Beach Boys very well.
	1:27pm Michael Downey: Have you got BEYOD THE SURF, the B-side (and better) of BUSTIN' SURFBOARDS?
	1:33pm Sissophonic Cheryl: I hate root beer!!! Yuck!
	1:34pm d¢ pät: I'm with Sissophonic....Blech.
	1:35pm steve: ginger beer all the way
	1:37pm Gaylord Fields: My lunch is reheated leftover street fair pierogi and potato pancakes. Starch — it does a body good!
	1:38pm d¢ pät: man, I remember this tune...haven't heard it in about 40 years....
	1:39pm d¢ pät: mmmmmm....pierogi pancakes...
	1:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Girl Don't Tell Me' always a major fave; read somewhere Brian Wilson wrote it thinking of Lennon singing it - but Lennon not short of tunes just then...
	1:40pm d¢ pät: nobody sang it like Brian though.
	1:42pm Gaylord Fields: @d¢ pät: Not even Carl?
	1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - but I can imagine John !...
	1:42pm t_J: funny to consider why my android app never worked for posting, could you imagine what would be? bless you
	1:43pm d¢ pät: or Carl or whoever the heck sang it.... I was gonna say Carl but chickened out...
	1:48pm t_J: i smell atmos
	1:49pm bobdoesthings: alright lunch time and other things. thanks Todd, adios
	1:52pm Sissophonic Cheryl: I can't believe this is for Scoops instead of.....
	1:54pm Gaylord Fields: GDTM has some weak-ass lyrics that strain to scan with the melody, but both it and the Gants' similarly "Ticket to Ride"-inspired "My Baby Don't Care" do justice to the source!
	1:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - astute (naturally!) - but the naivete matches the subject-matter - & that is the melancholy of Summer; I can so hear Lennon's voice in '64 propelling the combo of hurt & anger...
	1:59pm geokopp: OK so it's not a great beach day out there, but it sure is great in here! Great stuff, Mr O-Phonic!
	2:00pm d¢ pät: I'll be on da beach in 2 weeks...
	2:01pm Gaylord Fields: @d¢ pät: It's an understandable mistake, considering that this was only the second solo lead by arguably the Beach Boys' best singer.
	2:01pm Mike East: I leave Saturday, dc pat. Jersey Shore, here I come.
	2:02pm d¢ pät: @Gaylord: I'll say, if that's Carl, he's got my vote @Mike: same here, Avalon.
	2:04pm SeanG: 1234
	2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'65 actually - but since it's in my imagination anyhow... - Great, Mr. Toddophonic, ThankYou...
	2:06pm Mike East: LBI, here.
	2:08pm Mike East: only bad part of the jersey shore is lack of WFMU signal. Though I hope to catch some Jonesy on "The Hawk"...if he's still there.
	2:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good point in that the subject matter, and how Carl delivers it, makes the song magical, despite clunky constructions like "during your ol' schooltime."
	2:08pm d¢ pät: I've been there, nice.
	2:09pm geokopp: I don't think Jones has done that Hawk gig for a couple years now. @Mike East
	2:09pm Sissophonic Cheryl: @Mike East, do you have a smartphone? Download the free WFMU app and listen anywhere!
	2:10pm Mike East: dang! (I haven't been down the shore in a couple years, either) Thanks geokopp
	2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - that woulda failed the Lennon-McCartney filter by a mile...
	2:11pm d¢ pät: eh, the FMU app works everywhere.
	2:13pm d¢ pät: jeeze, I dunno...McCartney wrote some pretty dumb lyrics himself...
	2:16pm Gaylord Fields: Also, GDTM emulates the Fab Four further in that the Beach Boys are playing all the instruments (if you don't count their roadie on tambourine), a rarity in 1965.
	2:17pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Thanks for the HG's!
	2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - oh (to flog this horse back to 1965) - 'I know that she's no peasant' is filler - but they knew it : ) ...all those guys were on a crazy schedule back then: time vs. material...
	2:20pm Woo: Ernie Anastos turned 71 last Sunday.
	2:22pm Sean D. Daily: That cover of Wipeout was... painful.
	2:22pm Gaylord Fields: I'm not at all about how dumb the lyrics are (I'm a big fan of stupidity in lyrics); I'm talking about how they're so lazily constructed they at times don't even fit the song's meter without straining. As simplistic as Beatles lyrics could sometimes be, they pretty much always scanned.
	2:22pm d¢ pät: yeah, should have been "pheasant" then would make sense...
	2:25pm Gaylord Fields: Short version (finally!): "Girl Don't Tell Me" is a filler song that became a king.
	2:38pm Barkevious Shabazz: Great show.
	2:39pm Mike East: great fill in today, Todd. the bits of the show I've been able to catch between my computer crashing have been superb.
	2:41pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Todd! It wouldn't be Beach Blanket Belock without those Sons of the Beaches!
	2:44pm fleep: [making California sounds]
	2:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Will there be any Dick Dale on today's show?
	2:50pm Jeff in Phoenix: Working from home today - and this is helping me surf through everything I need to do.
	2:53pm fleep: Flash flood warning shoutout!
	2:55pm ccrides: Groovy show, Todd!!!...:)O(:..
	2:57pm Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks, Todd!
	2:58pm Jeff in Phoenix: Amazing show - always enjoy your music and enthusiasm on the mike.
	2:58pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Great show honey!
	3:06pm Nathan: What was that last song?
	10:07am John W: Brandy always takes me back to the summer of '72. Thanks!
	4:56pm Tim: Nathan: the last song Todd played was "On A Summer Night" by Rock & Roll Dubble Bubble Trading Card Co...
	10:43pm Dr. Fresh: That Chris Stamey song is MY JAM. Thanks Todd!
	4:27pm Robbie: Great show. Posted a link on my facebook page.
	10:24pm pacific standard simon: It's odd, Todd, but whenever I see Jeremy Affeldt pitch for The Giants, I see Matt Fiveash. It's odd because Matt is WAAAY better than Jeremy. Although Jeremy is OK, too.

	1:20pm Lewis: I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help, help, help, help) I, I, I wanna guard your life I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard) Hardly any clothes (lifeguard) Sand between my toes (lifeguard) White stuff on my nose
	1:25pm Neg-guh-tor: Raspberries did The Beach Boys very well.
	1:27pm Michael Downey: Have you got BEYOD THE SURF, the B-side (and better) of BUSTIN' SURFBOARDS?
	1:33pm Sissophonic Cheryl: I hate root beer!!! Yuck!
	1:34pm d¢ pät: I'm with Sissophonic....Blech.
	1:35pm steve: ginger beer all the way
	1:37pm Gaylord Fields: My lunch is reheated leftover street fair pierogi and potato pancakes. Starch — it does a body good!
	1:38pm d¢ pät: man, I remember this tune...haven't heard it in about 40 years....
	1:39pm d¢ pät: mmmmmm....pierogi pancakes...
	1:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Girl Don't Tell Me' always a major fave; read somewhere Brian Wilson wrote it thinking of Lennon singing it - but Lennon not short of tunes just then...
	1:40pm d¢ pät: nobody sang it like Brian though.
	1:42pm Gaylord Fields: @d¢ pät: Not even Carl?
	1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - but I can imagine John !...
	1:42pm t_J: funny to consider why my android app never worked for posting, could you imagine what would be? bless you
	1:43pm d¢ pät: or Carl or whoever the heck sang it.... I was gonna say Carl but chickened out...
	1:48pm t_J: i smell atmos
	1:49pm bobdoesthings: alright lunch time and other things. thanks Todd, adios
	1:52pm Sissophonic Cheryl: I can't believe this is for Scoops instead of.....
	1:54pm Gaylord Fields: GDTM has some weak-ass lyrics that strain to scan with the melody, but both it and the Gants' similarly "Ticket to Ride"-inspired "My Baby Don't Care" do justice to the source!
	1:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - astute (naturally!) - but the naivete matches the subject-matter - & that is the melancholy of Summer; I can so hear Lennon's voice in '64 propelling the combo of hurt & anger...
	1:59pm geokopp: OK so it's not a great beach day out there, but it sure is great in here! Great stuff, Mr O-Phonic!
	2:00pm d¢ pät: I'll be on da beach in 2 weeks...
	2:01pm Gaylord Fields: @d¢ pät: It's an understandable mistake, considering that this was only the second solo lead by arguably the Beach Boys' best singer.
	2:01pm Mike East: I leave Saturday, dc pat. Jersey Shore, here I come.
	2:02pm d¢ pät: @Gaylord: I'll say, if that's Carl, he's got my vote @Mike: same here, Avalon.
	2:04pm SeanG: 1234
	2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'65 actually - but since it's in my imagination anyhow... - Great, Mr. Toddophonic, ThankYou...
	2:06pm Mike East: LBI, here.
	2:08pm Mike East: only bad part of the jersey shore is lack of WFMU signal. Though I hope to catch some Jonesy on "The Hawk"...if he's still there.
	2:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good point in that the subject matter, and how Carl delivers it, makes the song magical, despite clunky constructions like "during your ol' schooltime."
	2:08pm d¢ pät: I've been there, nice.
	2:09pm geokopp: I don't think Jones has done that Hawk gig for a couple years now. @Mike East
	2:09pm Sissophonic Cheryl: @Mike East, do you have a smartphone? Download the free WFMU app and listen anywhere!
	2:10pm Mike East: dang! (I haven't been down the shore in a couple years, either) Thanks geokopp
	2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - that woulda failed the Lennon-McCartney filter by a mile...
	2:11pm d¢ pät: eh, the FMU app works everywhere.
	2:13pm d¢ pät: jeeze, I dunno...McCartney wrote some pretty dumb lyrics himself...
	2:16pm Gaylord Fields: Also, GDTM emulates the Fab Four further in that the Beach Boys are playing all the instruments (if you don't count their roadie on tambourine), a rarity in 1965.
	2:17pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Thanks for the HG's!
	2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - oh (to flog this horse back to 1965) - 'I know that she's no peasant' is filler - but they knew it : ) ...all those guys were on a crazy schedule back then: time vs. material...
	2:20pm Woo: Ernie Anastos turned 71 last Sunday.
	2:22pm Sean D. Daily: That cover of Wipeout was... painful.
	2:22pm Gaylord Fields: I'm not at all about how dumb the lyrics are (I'm a big fan of stupidity in lyrics); I'm talking about how they're so lazily constructed they at times don't even fit the song's meter without straining. As simplistic as Beatles lyrics could sometimes be, they pretty much always scanned.
	2:22pm d¢ pät: yeah, should have been "pheasant" then would make sense...
	2:25pm Gaylord Fields: Short version (finally!): "Girl Don't Tell Me" is a filler song that became a king.
	2:38pm Barkevious Shabazz: Great show.
	2:39pm Mike East: great fill in today, Todd. the bits of the show I've been able to catch between my computer crashing have been superb.
	2:41pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Todd! It wouldn't be Beach Blanket Belock without those Sons of the Beaches!
	2:44pm fleep: [making California sounds]
	2:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Will there be any Dick Dale on today's show?
	2:50pm Jeff in Phoenix: Working from home today - and this is helping me surf through everything I need to do.
	2:53pm fleep: Flash flood warning shoutout!
	2:55pm ccrides: Groovy show, Todd!!!...:)O(:..
	2:57pm Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks, Todd!
	2:58pm Jeff in Phoenix: Amazing show - always enjoy your music and enthusiasm on the mike.
	2:58pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Great show honey!
	3:06pm Nathan: What was that last song?
	10:07am John W: Brandy always takes me back to the summer of '72. Thanks!
	4:56pm Tim: Nathan: the last song Todd played was "On A Summer Night" by Rock & Roll Dubble Bubble Trading Card Co...
	10:43pm Dr. Fresh: That Chris Stamey song is MY JAM. Thanks Todd!
	4:27pm Robbie: Great show. Posted a link on my facebook page.
	10:24pm pacific standard simon: It's odd, Todd, but whenever I see Jeremy Affeldt pitch for The Giants, I see Matt Fiveash. It's odd because Matt is WAAAY better than Jeremy. Although Jeremy is OK, too.
