WFMU: Nazario Scenario: Playlist from December 30, 2015

Listener comments!
	♥ 12:01pm listener james from westwood: How do, Nezerio Zschenerio and all!
	12:02pm sugarplum fairywolf: Helllooo
	12:02pm ndbob: afternoon James. Amanda everyone
	12:02pm MONEYBAG$: Happy Nez Year
	12:02pm KP: Hello, Amanda! THis is quite a welcome diversion
	12:06pm KP: Is this the Different Drummer stream?
	♥ 12:08pm Amanda: Har har! Welcome Nezoholics everywhere!
	12:11pm Parq: The music career that White-Out made possible. Happy 73rd, Mike.
	12:14pm Parq: Nifty story about Mike, told by Bobby Hart at his Monty Hall appearance earlier this year. The cover photo of their first album (see photo link below) shows the other three flashing big smiles and Mike pursing his lips. According to Bobby, the boys were dragged off the set for that photo shoot. Mike, impatient, told the photographer that he would tolerate only ten shots. What we see in that album photo is Mike uttering the word "seven". jimsworldandwelcometoit.files.wordpress.com...
	12:15pm Parq: One more and then I'll stop. Is "Some of Shelly's Blues" the answer song to "Different Drum"?
	♥ 12:16pm Amanda: Your first statement is false, Parq! Mike joined the Monkees when (and because) he was broke. He didn't see his Liquid Paper inheritance until the late 70s.
	12:18pm Parq: Amanda, hon, my point exactly. That's when he started making the music he really wanted to.
	♥ 12:19pm Amanda: It could certainly be taken that way. I mean, if Different Drum is sung by the girl, which more famously it was.
	♥ 12:21pm Amanda: Well, I guess then you mean two separate careers but I don't buy that they can be separated.
	12:23pm 87-plaid: Sweet YOUNG Thing - toss the canes & romp !
	12:23pm Parq: Minor quibble. Rock on. Glad to have a chance to hear your show live for another week.
	♥ 12:25pm Amanda: These songs are going by too fast!
	12:26pm 87-plaid: "Door Into Summer": Peter bumps Sharyn Hillyer walking by; Joy Harmon
	12:38pm MONEYBAG$: Amanda, did you ever listen to his Gilbert Gottfried podcast?
	12:39pm KP: "Mary, Mary" is the most Monkee of Monkee songs.
	♥ 12:40pm Brian in UK: Saw Mr N in '74 just him and Red Rhodes. His intro to 'Joanne' was 'This is a song about a cow'. Take it how you will. He was a bit relaxed.
	♥ 12:41pm Artie Haywire: Monkee mode, engaged.
	12:43pm steve: hi Amanda. love the new Simpsons Time podcast!
	♥ 12:44pm Brian in UK: My manners. Hello Amanda.
	♥ 12:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ha! I could tell by the hat and hairline that was Mike Nesmith. Happy New Year, Amanda and Drummers! It's my son's birthday today.
	♥ 12:47pm Amanda: @MB$ - NO, I STILL have not listened to it yet, I am a dweeb.
	♥ 12:49pm Amanda: @Brian UK -- That is great! I love "Joanne" even more now that I know it's about a cow. Unless he was referring to some girlfriend of his that way.
	12:50pm 87-plaid: "The Girl I Knew Somewhere": Fav romp, laundress Julie Newmar ! Mike told Gottfried the wool cap was to keep his hair outta his eyes when motorcycling; Mike said he BS-ed a reporter the Monkees sold 35mil albums, more than the Beatles in '67, and it got picked up as fact to this day
	♥ 12:52pm Brian in UK: Amanda, you make a good point there, it was ambiguous.
	♥ 12:52pm Amanda: @Ken HP -- happy birthday to your son! An auspicious b'day indeed! Thanks so much to you and @steve and all who are enjoying the Simpsons Time podcast!
	♥ 12:57pm Amanda: @87-plaid: You know, I did pick up that "35mil" gossip even though I didn't listen to it! And I love that particular Monkee romp too.
	12:57pm johnk77: nice work podcaster and selecter @amanda
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: I'm loving the Papa Nez tribute, Amanda.
	1:00pm MONEYBAG$: You actually have to hear him tell the whole story, though...it's more amusing than just the fact that he made the number up.
	1:01pm northguineahills: Didn't the Happy Mondays track down a prize winning European yodeller?
	♥ 1:06pm Brian in UK: Ellie Goulding?
	♥ 1:08pm Brian in UK: Sorry for that lapse in taste.
	1:09pm KP: Michael Blessing! Good work
	1:11pm johnk77: davy was totally cool the 1 carroll music gig i did with him after the set he insisted on personally thanking me and glenn luttman
	♥ 1:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Amanda: By chance, will any of The Wichita Train Whistle Sings be part of this Nez-tivity celebration?
	♥ 1:14pm Amanda: The personal accounts about each Monkee I have heard are fascinatingly all over the place. It's like no two people can agree on which one is the nicest, coolest, or least nice or craziest or whatever. And I'm sure they change from day to day. The exception is that almost everyone says Micky is super nice.
	♥ 1:15pm Amanda: @Gaylord, yes it will! Though I am always loath to take my copy out of its protective plastic bag and out into the world!!!
	1:17pm KP: Saw Mickey's cabaret show earlier this year. I initially didn't want to go but ended up amazed, even after two Monkees concerts.
	♥ 1:18pm Mike East: @jk77 - before my time, I guess. Love when the talent is conscious of all that goes into making their performance a success.
	♥ 1:19pm Amanda: Those dudes are all so amaze
	1:19pm johnk77: davy also kindly introduced us to his taller statuesque and very sweet wife
	♥ 1:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Amanda: I understand, as a fellow owner of said rare jewel.
	♥ 1:20pm Amanda: @Uncle Michael, thank you so much! Glad you're here! @northguineahills - Yes, I think so???
	1:22pm johnk77: briliant work here selecter i love trad
	1:22pm KP: johnk77 was this a live gig or a recording session.
	♥ 1:26pm Mike East: @KP - would have been live if it was for our company.
	♥ 1:29pm Mike East: ...which it was
	♥ 1:31pm Brian in UK: Great show, Amanda. Read a great interview with John Ware a while back. Think it might have been in an old Zigzag, coincidentally it was Zigzag's fifth birthday concert that Mr N was playing when I saw him.
	♥ 1:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'll bet a Simpsons/Monkees crossover episode would have been downright hilarious if they did it right. They both use off-beat humor quite a bit.
	1:38pm KP: Thanks, Mike East
	1:40pm johnk77: @kp live sound reinforcement +backline glenn mixed monitors and stage-managed
	♥ 1:41pm Gaylord Fields: Nice one-second Davy Jones birthday tribute, Amanda!
	1:42pm KP: You said "fart."
	1:43pm KP: Thanks, johnk77!
	♥ 1:45pm Gaylord Fields: Nez once astutely surmised that the Monkees would have been a real band if everyone was on different instruments: Micky as frontman/guitar, Peter as lead guitar, Davy as drummer/vocalist (Davy was actually a decent drummer pre-Monkees), and himself on bass/vox.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: I've been in and out of the show. Have we saved the Texas prairie chicken yet?
	1:47pm johnk77: alternate history of north american music if corporate owners allowed a few songs written by nesmith circa65-66? @gaylord davy as drummer/ co-frontguy?
	1:51pm johnk77: this show is 1 of the best tributes to anyone in quite a while @mikeeast how were phishrehearsals?
	1:52pm "Monkees Myth #2": "And that explains Mike" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftSkCklMcNw
	♥ 1:53pm Gaylord Fields: @johnk77: This is from Michael Nesmith. After all, show producers Rafelson and Schneider weren't going to bury Davy behind the kit, so that's why Micky got the gig. Keep in mind that the Columbia Pictures–contracted Davy was the only "given" for the Monkees project.
	1:53pm ndbob: excellent show Amanda!
	1:55pm steve: great show!
	♥ 1:56pm Brian in UK: Amanda, just found the link to the concert show CD that I mentioned. www.rgfrecords.demon.co.uk...
	♥ 1:57pm Amanda: I love envisioning that alternate-universe Monkees. Much better than imagining Stills in Peter's place!
	♥ 1:57pm Amanda: I am going to go a few minutes over.
	♥ 1:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: We had a Monkees comic book when we were kids. The boys got a job at a zoo. Their boss told Mickey (I think?) to feed the lions and tigers, too. So he fed the lions some ants and was about to give the tigers their stew. Hoo boy.
	♥ 2:00pm Mike East: very educational show today. Thanks Amanda!
	♥ 2:00pm Brian in UK: @Ken, amazing what is stored in the old grey room.
	♥ 2:02pm Mike East: @jk77 - Phishing trip went great! Tech's flights were cancelled so they had to drive down from VT last night and pack everything late night, though.
	2:02pm KP: Thanks Amanda! You earned a wool hat.
	♥ 2:02pm listener james from westwood: @Brian: Breakthrough in grey room ... cut word lines ... towers open fire ...
	♥ 2:02pm listener james from westwood: Smashing tribute, Amanda! Where else would we ever hear such a thing? Have a fab NYE!
	♥ 2:06pm Amanda: Happy Nez Year and a wonderful 2016 to you all! Thank you for listening today, I had the best time. xoxox
	2:32pm annie: this voice... this voice.. oh em gee
	8:37am AMC: I hope people find their way back to this playlist in light of Nez's passing....
