	10:32am Rev. Turnip Druid: Been in & out of meetings (consciousness) .. Cheers for Ken Nordine. My spiritual co-pilot.
	♥ 10:33am coelacanth: a brief Ahoy!
	10:33am Rev. Turnip Druid: Oh crap, and something from the Hawklords LP as well. Double-cheers.
	♥ 10:35am Fran: Scalp? - my scalp is fine - dandruff within tolerances and generally an acceptable egg-like shape....
	10:36am Bill Mac: and I've got a beautiful head of skin
	10:38am mauri: too hot. must swim on.
	♥ 10:38am Brian C.: Holy cow, former 30-game winner/convicted felon Denny McLain rocking the bed music!
	♥ 10:38am coelacanth: somebody collecting scalps?
	♥ 10:39am coelacanth: hey, nice 3-speed stingray!
	♥ 10:40am Brian C.: Pea Picker, baby
	♥ 10:42am coelacanth: Ha! so i see!
	10:43am V Priceless: i always wanted one of those bikes...or the Orange Crate.
	♥ 10:45am Tome: Good Morning ,,,yea Freak OUT baby !
	♥ 10:45am Brian C.: My Pea picker was the one-speed. Big bro got the five-speed Gray Ghost. Later, mine was stolen
	10:46am Bill Mac: Hey Tome. Come on in!
	10:46am KP: Holy moly what is this
	♥ 10:46am coelacanth: my friend Rocco had an orange crate. he knew everyone wanted to steal it. Hey V!
	10:47am V Priceless: hey Fish! If you wanted to score a vintage one now, it's big $
	10:48am Bill Mac: @KP Missed this the short tune was The Scene is Now.
	♥ 10:49am Tome: that was cool never heard a remake of that _ > bit.ly... < mothers version
	♥ 10:49am coelacanth: i had the murray version of the pea picker,i guess. a 3-speed. it was infinitely beautiful,but didn't hold up well to ramp jumping.
	10:53am Meatfucker: a three speed murry is worth at least one huffy mountain bike
	10:53am Bill Mac: @Tome Monks of Doom (Camper spinoff) did a nice cover too
	♥ 10:55am Tome: have to check that out Bill cool ,,, I'm a big Zappa w mothers fan too !
	10:56am Bill Mac: I like Zappa a lot.- but I'm a HUGE Beefheart fan
	10:56am Meatfucker: Scumblin around? I love it.
	♥ 11:13am Planet Tyler: I love that Nikki record...
	11:14am timurf: CT rock, baby!
	11:15am Parq: Bill! Dang it, guy, you gotta start sending out emails announcing your fill-ins. It's my day off, but if I had known you were going to be on, I'd have gotten up earlier. Here for the last reel, anyway.
	11:17am Rev. Turnip Druid: HA! nice. Couple of indie radio stations around here played the hell out of this Belew ages ago. Excellent flashback.
	11:17am Bill Mac: Hey you guys! Just so's you know, I'm back on Thursday at 6am for The Long Rally.
	11:18am chromaphone: I used to listen to this album a lot in college.
	11:19am Bill Mac: I think I was the one playing this tune at ALL of the radio stations back then
	11:20am Meatfucker: This kind of reminds of the sounds I make alone with a twisty straw
	♥ 11:20am coelacanth: yes- i have to pull this album out. at the time i thought this track was the only killer on it. i may think differently now.
	♥ 11:20am Stanley: Bill - it was Captain Beefheart who introduced me to WFMU waaay back. The old beefheart.com site had a link and now the all-new site has a whole page devoted to the station. Run by an Englishman called Graham Johnston, its perhaps the greatest resource for Beefheart followers. Graham is a website developer and says of the WFMU site "A lot of the website looks like crap but the shows are magic". You can check out his twitter account, too. Interesting fella.
	♥ 11:21am Fran: Reminds me that its countdown to the King Crimson UK tour in September - albeit a different Crimson court!
	♥ 11:21am coelacanth: Specs!
	♥ 11:21am coelacanth: (...did i just type "specs?)
	11:21am Meatfucker: King Crimson is going on tour? Thats amazingly awesome.
	11:22am Bill Mac: I'm familiar with this guy and the site. I'll need to check up with him though
	11:23am Meatfucker: They got any US dates, or is it only UK?
	11:24am Bill Mac: I see Canada in November so far.
	11:24am chromaphone: I had a radio show in college called the 6-string Smorgasbord and I would always play Belew. Don't listen to him so much anymore.
	♥ 11:24am Fran: Hi Stanley! Ages since I looked at Beefheart.com - is it still as crammed to bursting?
	11:25am Meatfucker: Canada is close enough to Michigan, Ill be there!
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: Sounding great, Bill!
	♥ 11:26am Stanley: Bill - thought you would be. Reports on his twitter account that Brian Eno had Too Much Time as one of his Desert Island Discs on BBC radio. Fran - got me mitts on tix for the KC show in Edinburgh (BTW cleanliness was never my obsession when I was an adolescent or now for that matter)
	11:26am Bill Mac: Tanks Joe!
	11:26am Meatfucker: It is too, this fella is doing it well.
	♥ 11:28am Fran: Well done Stanley - I'll be at Salford
	11:29am Bill Mac: @Stanley - Is that Clear Spot? That album is great all the way through. it's got "Big Eye Beans" on it too decided against KC last year when they came through... hmmmm
	11:29am V Priceless: Alice!
	11:30am Bill Mac: @V We were talking about this new box a couple nights ago right?
	11:30am V Priceless: Yes indeed, Bill!
	♥ 11:30am Fran: By the way Stanley I am already beginning to drop hints/justification for the big KC Thraak box set coming out in October! My main argument is that I have an exact space for it on the shelf and my interior design guru says it would be perfect...it needs work!
	11:31am KP: Pre golf Alice Cooper!
	11:31am Meatfucker: But does it feng shui?
	11:31am Bill Mac: Pre Groucho Alice Cooper!
	♥ 11:32am Fran: Bill - KC and three drummers - next time it will be King Crimson plays The Boredoms with 107 drummers minimum! That'll drown out the Fripp 'n' tonics!
	11:32am chromaphone: I saw the Thraak tour back in the day and it was pretty intense. This guy in front of me kept singing the words to all the songs really loud though which sucked.
	11:33am Rev. Turnip Druid: Cooper Scooper!
	11:33am Rev. Turnip Druid: ..i have no idea what i'm saying.
	11:34am Bill Mac: @Chromaphone - What's with that anyway? @Fran Three drummers? Not three drummers....
	♥ 11:34am Fran: Chromaphone - that would justify a kick in the nadgers of said vocalist!! I've just been tempted to deal out similar punishment at a Bevis Frond show where a young lad insisted on aerobic style dancing at the front in front of Nick Salomoan
	11:35am KP: It's too bad every successful American hard rock band eventually becomes the joke they were originally only playing at.
	11:35am Meatfucker: Its been that long since that? Balls
	11:35am chromaphone: I don't think anyone said anything to him but it was such a buzzkill.
	♥ 11:37am Stanley: Fran - interior design guru. I've got one of those in my head, too. I'm after the Live at the Marquee release. Its amazing
	♥ 11:37am Fran: Yes Bill three drummers - that's like Palmer, palmer and palmer
	♥ 11:39am Fran: Oh yes Stanley - I picked that up and it is great....both from different years are as is the Guildford show recently put out!
	11:39am V Priceless: don't miss any chance to catch this latest version of KC - the NYC show last year was a blast and a half, even WITH three drummers! Ha!
	11:39am Meatfucker: I would ride that elevator if it played that sweet duclet tones.
	11:41am Bill Mac: @Fran it should be quite the spectacle... as any KC show would be
	♥ 11:41am Stanley: Got Sun Ra and The Ex lined up this month, too!
	11:45am Michael: Agree with VPriceless - I saw one of the Boston KC shows and it really was terrific.
	♥ 11:47am Fran: Yes Stanley - The Ex in Leeds for me - band not partner I hasten to add! I've seen Marshall Allen and the Arkestra 3 times in the past year so giving this round a miss - you'll love it though - top entertainment and great use of tinfoil for Blakes Seven style clothing! There's a good CD and DVD of a live show just come out - worth having!
	♥ 11:48am Fran: Bill/all - I suspect Crimson reviews may follow in future gatherings of the Brotherhood of Mac
	11:49am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Wow, what a transition. Just sweet.
	♥ 11:50am blee: One can never have too much Marvin Gaye.
	11:51am still b/p: I'm going to dig and see if I still have my What's Going On cassette TODAY.
	♥ 11:52am Stanley: Fran - I witnessed Sun Ra the prophet himself in 84. I never recovered.
	11:53am Andy in Berlin: Egad! I just now realized you were on!!
	11:53am Bill Mac: Can't believe he lived 3 miles from my house and I didn't know who he was :p
	♥ 11:54am fred: @Fran and Stanley: The Ex are always good, I never tire of seeing them. Enjoy!
	♥ 11:55am Fran: Yes I respect you Stanley (envy creeping in here.....) - I never managed that! The no 9 bus from Rochdale to Saturn was taken off years before!
	♥ 11:56am Fran: Yes Fred - they are and I'm sure we will!
	♥ 11:56am coelacanth: Thanks Bill 'been a pleasure, of course! later on people
	11:56am Bill Mac: The beauty of a nicely done show. Leaving while I'm still ahead. Got one more show this Thursday at 6am sharp. See you guys around
	11:56am V Priceless: swell show, Bill! Thanks!
	♥ 11:57am Stanley: Fran - yeah but did I harness that energy back then? Did I fuck.
	♥ 11:57am Fran: Cheers Bill - great as ever and catch you all soon! Have fun
	11:57am MenfussMike: i love this old standard shit.
	♥ 11:58am Fran: Stanley - I managed to harness the power of the wind - or at least someone once said Oh Brother, the wind!!!!!
	♥ 11:58am Stanley: Is that it? Where am I? Oh, here. Bye Bill and everyone. It's been fun.
	11:58am Bill Mac: @Sweet Essence - Hope you're doing well. It's always good to see ya!
	11:59am KP: Thanks, Bill!
	♥ 12:00pm fred: Another fine show Bill, thanks
	♥ 2:00pm Brian in UK: Hello Bill only two hours late now 37 degrees in Vienna. Scheesh it is hot. Lovely place and people. Heading to the mountains for a day trip on the morrow.I

	10:22am Meatfucker: haha, well played
	♥ 10:22am coelacanth: ...Lemmy with a shot glass stuck in his throat.
	♥ 10:23am coelacanth: (as if he uses a shot glass!)
	10:23am Meatfucker: you only inmhale a shot glass in that manner so you can inside shots.
	10:24am mauri: Terve Bill!

	10:32am Rev. Turnip Druid: Been in & out of meetings (consciousness) .. Cheers for Ken Nordine. My spiritual co-pilot.
	♥ 10:33am coelacanth: a brief Ahoy!
	10:33am Rev. Turnip Druid: Oh crap, and something from the Hawklords LP as well. Double-cheers.
	♥ 10:35am Fran: Scalp? - my scalp is fine - dandruff within tolerances and generally an acceptable egg-like shape....
	10:36am Bill Mac: and I've got a beautiful head of skin
	10:38am mauri: too hot. must swim on.
	♥ 10:38am Brian C.: Holy cow, former 30-game winner/convicted felon Denny McLain rocking the bed music!
	♥ 10:38am coelacanth: somebody collecting scalps?
	♥ 10:39am coelacanth: hey, nice 3-speed stingray!
	♥ 10:40am Brian C.: Pea Picker, baby
	♥ 10:42am coelacanth: Ha! so i see!
	10:43am V Priceless: i always wanted one of those bikes...or the Orange Crate.
	♥ 10:45am Tome: Good Morning ,,,yea Freak OUT baby !
	♥ 10:45am Brian C.: My Pea picker was the one-speed. Big bro got the five-speed Gray Ghost. Later, mine was stolen
	10:46am Bill Mac: Hey Tome. Come on in!
	10:46am KP: Holy moly what is this
	♥ 10:46am coelacanth: my friend Rocco had an orange crate. he knew everyone wanted to steal it. Hey V!
	10:47am V Priceless: hey Fish! If you wanted to score a vintage one now, it's big $
	10:48am Bill Mac: @KP Missed this the short tune was The Scene is Now.
	♥ 10:49am Tome: that was cool never heard a remake of that _ > bit.ly... < mothers version
	♥ 10:49am coelacanth: i had the murray version of the pea picker,i guess. a 3-speed. it was infinitely beautiful,but didn't hold up well to ramp jumping.
	10:53am Meatfucker: a three speed murry is worth at least one huffy mountain bike
	10:53am Bill Mac: @Tome Monks of Doom (Camper spinoff) did a nice cover too
	♥ 10:55am Tome: have to check that out Bill cool ,,, I'm a big Zappa w mothers fan too !
	10:56am Bill Mac: I like Zappa a lot.- but I'm a HUGE Beefheart fan
	10:56am Meatfucker: Scumblin around? I love it.
	♥ 11:13am Planet Tyler: I love that Nikki record...
	11:14am timurf: CT rock, baby!
	11:15am Parq: Bill! Dang it, guy, you gotta start sending out emails announcing your fill-ins. It's my day off, but if I had known you were going to be on, I'd have gotten up earlier. Here for the last reel, anyway.
	11:17am Rev. Turnip Druid: HA! nice. Couple of indie radio stations around here played the hell out of this Belew ages ago. Excellent flashback.
	11:17am Bill Mac: Hey you guys! Just so's you know, I'm back on Thursday at 6am for The Long Rally.
	11:18am chromaphone: I used to listen to this album a lot in college.
	11:19am Bill Mac: I think I was the one playing this tune at ALL of the radio stations back then
	11:20am Meatfucker: This kind of reminds of the sounds I make alone with a twisty straw
	♥ 11:20am coelacanth: yes- i have to pull this album out. at the time i thought this track was the only killer on it. i may think differently now.
	♥ 11:20am Stanley: Bill - it was Captain Beefheart who introduced me to WFMU waaay back. The old beefheart.com site had a link and now the all-new site has a whole page devoted to the station. Run by an Englishman called Graham Johnston, its perhaps the greatest resource for Beefheart followers. Graham is a website developer and says of the WFMU site "A lot of the website looks like crap but the shows are magic". You can check out his twitter account, too. Interesting fella.
	♥ 11:21am Fran: Reminds me that its countdown to the King Crimson UK tour in September - albeit a different Crimson court!
	♥ 11:21am coelacanth: Specs!
	♥ 11:21am coelacanth: (...did i just type "specs?)
	11:21am Meatfucker: King Crimson is going on tour? Thats amazingly awesome.
	11:22am Bill Mac: I'm familiar with this guy and the site. I'll need to check up with him though
	11:23am Meatfucker: They got any US dates, or is it only UK?
	11:24am Bill Mac: I see Canada in November so far.
	11:24am chromaphone: I had a radio show in college called the 6-string Smorgasbord and I would always play Belew. Don't listen to him so much anymore.
	♥ 11:24am Fran: Hi Stanley! Ages since I looked at Beefheart.com - is it still as crammed to bursting?
	11:25am Meatfucker: Canada is close enough to Michigan, Ill be there!
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: Sounding great, Bill!
	♥ 11:26am Stanley: Bill - thought you would be. Reports on his twitter account that Brian Eno had Too Much Time as one of his Desert Island Discs on BBC radio. Fran - got me mitts on tix for the KC show in Edinburgh (BTW cleanliness was never my obsession when I was an adolescent or now for that matter)
	11:26am Bill Mac: Tanks Joe!
	11:26am Meatfucker: It is too, this fella is doing it well.
	♥ 11:28am Fran: Well done Stanley - I'll be at Salford
	11:29am Bill Mac: @Stanley - Is that Clear Spot? That album is great all the way through. it's got "Big Eye Beans" on it too decided against KC last year when they came through... hmmmm
	11:29am V Priceless: Alice!
	11:30am Bill Mac: @V We were talking about this new box a couple nights ago right?
	11:30am V Priceless: Yes indeed, Bill!
	♥ 11:30am Fran: By the way Stanley I am already beginning to drop hints/justification for the big KC Thraak box set coming out in October! My main argument is that I have an exact space for it on the shelf and my interior design guru says it would be perfect...it needs work!
	11:31am KP: Pre golf Alice Cooper!
	11:31am Meatfucker: But does it feng shui?
	11:31am Bill Mac: Pre Groucho Alice Cooper!
	♥ 11:32am Fran: Bill - KC and three drummers - next time it will be King Crimson plays The Boredoms with 107 drummers minimum! That'll drown out the Fripp 'n' tonics!
	11:32am chromaphone: I saw the Thraak tour back in the day and it was pretty intense. This guy in front of me kept singing the words to all the songs really loud though which sucked.
	11:33am Rev. Turnip Druid: Cooper Scooper!
	11:33am Rev. Turnip Druid: ..i have no idea what i'm saying.
	11:34am Bill Mac: @Chromaphone - What's with that anyway? @Fran Three drummers? Not three drummers....
	♥ 11:34am Fran: Chromaphone - that would justify a kick in the nadgers of said vocalist!! I've just been tempted to deal out similar punishment at a Bevis Frond show where a young lad insisted on aerobic style dancing at the front in front of Nick Salomoan
	11:35am KP: It's too bad every successful American hard rock band eventually becomes the joke they were originally only playing at.
	11:35am Meatfucker: Its been that long since that? Balls
	11:35am chromaphone: I don't think anyone said anything to him but it was such a buzzkill.
	♥ 11:37am Stanley: Fran - interior design guru. I've got one of those in my head, too. I'm after the Live at the Marquee release. Its amazing
	♥ 11:37am Fran: Yes Bill three drummers - that's like Palmer, palmer and palmer
	♥ 11:39am Fran: Oh yes Stanley - I picked that up and it is great....both from different years are as is the Guildford show recently put out!
	11:39am V Priceless: don't miss any chance to catch this latest version of KC - the NYC show last year was a blast and a half, even WITH three drummers! Ha!
	11:39am Meatfucker: I would ride that elevator if it played that sweet duclet tones.
	11:41am Bill Mac: @Fran it should be quite the spectacle... as any KC show would be
	♥ 11:41am Stanley: Got Sun Ra and The Ex lined up this month, too!
	11:45am Michael: Agree with VPriceless - I saw one of the Boston KC shows and it really was terrific.
	♥ 11:47am Fran: Yes Stanley - The Ex in Leeds for me - band not partner I hasten to add! I've seen Marshall Allen and the Arkestra 3 times in the past year so giving this round a miss - you'll love it though - top entertainment and great use of tinfoil for Blakes Seven style clothing! There's a good CD and DVD of a live show just come out - worth having!
	♥ 11:48am Fran: Bill/all - I suspect Crimson reviews may follow in future gatherings of the Brotherhood of Mac
	11:49am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Wow, what a transition. Just sweet.
	♥ 11:50am blee: One can never have too much Marvin Gaye.
	11:51am still b/p: I'm going to dig and see if I still have my What's Going On cassette TODAY.
	♥ 11:52am Stanley: Fran - I witnessed Sun Ra the prophet himself in 84. I never recovered.
	11:53am Andy in Berlin: Egad! I just now realized you were on!!
	11:53am Bill Mac: Can't believe he lived 3 miles from my house and I didn't know who he was :p
	♥ 11:54am fred: @Fran and Stanley: The Ex are always good, I never tire of seeing them. Enjoy!
	♥ 11:55am Fran: Yes I respect you Stanley (envy creeping in here.....) - I never managed that! The no 9 bus from Rochdale to Saturn was taken off years before!
	♥ 11:56am Fran: Yes Fred - they are and I'm sure we will!
	♥ 11:56am coelacanth: Thanks Bill 'been a pleasure, of course! later on people
	11:56am Bill Mac: The beauty of a nicely done show. Leaving while I'm still ahead. Got one more show this Thursday at 6am sharp. See you guys around
	11:56am V Priceless: swell show, Bill! Thanks!
	♥ 11:57am Stanley: Fran - yeah but did I harness that energy back then? Did I fuck.
	♥ 11:57am Fran: Cheers Bill - great as ever and catch you all soon! Have fun
	11:57am MenfussMike: i love this old standard shit.
	♥ 11:58am Fran: Stanley - I managed to harness the power of the wind - or at least someone once said Oh Brother, the wind!!!!!
	♥ 11:58am Stanley: Is that it? Where am I? Oh, here. Bye Bill and everyone. It's been fun.
	11:58am Bill Mac: @Sweet Essence - Hope you're doing well. It's always good to see ya!
	11:59am KP: Thanks, Bill!
	♥ 12:00pm fred: Another fine show Bill, thanks
	♥ 2:00pm Brian in UK: Hello Bill only two hours late now 37 degrees in Vienna. Scheesh it is hot. Lovely place and people. Heading to the mountains for a day trip on the morrow.I
