	10:01pm hyde: hi
	10:02pm geezerette: Jumpin' Jupiter!
	10:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey there!
	10:03pm Funky16Corners: If you hear any noise....
	10:03pm Doug Schulkind: Am psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadolooping over here!
	10:04pm Gary: yay!
	10:04pm Parq: Just keep doing your thing, man.
	10:04pm Funky16Corners: Good evening all! Strap yourselves in, as we are about to leave the atmosphere...
	10:05pm cupcakejenny: Hello
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jenny!
	10:07pm Jeff Ash: Reporting for duty from steamy, sultry Wisconsin.
	10:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff! Hot and sweaty here in NJ, too.
	10:10pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry, earthlings, people...
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: Howdy C!
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: -always loved this track
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: All time classic
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: I have to say, that for a 45 with almost 5 minutes jammed into the grooves, Life on Mars sounds pretty good
	10:16pm cupcakejenny: With the world today, life on mars sounds pretty good
	10:17pm Funky16Corners: Hot during the day, cold at night, but i think David Bowie is there now, so there's that
	10:18pm cupcakejenny: Sold!
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: It's either him, or Jemaine Clement's Bowie-esque fart creature from Rick and Morty
	10:19pm mgrog: I'm on board the moon trane now!
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mel!
	10:20pm cupcakejenny: At first I thought it said moose train and I was down for that.
	10:20pm geezerette: Get your tickets on the Moontrane.
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: I'd take a train to the moon
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: people of the world get on board on board the moon trane the moon trane
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: Join robotic hands!
	10:22pm geezerette: Not even gonna pack. Wear what the Moon folks wear.
	10:22pm mgrog: Is there a dining car with zero gravity?
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: boy i really messed those lyrics up didn't i...
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: New song!
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: Elvin Jones!
	10:24pm Doug Schulkind: It is quite possible that I saw Elvin live more than any other single artist.
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: You are a lucky man!
	10:25pm mgrog: Astronomical!
	10:29pm mgrog: This tune puts me in the mood for some Herbie Hancock
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: Up the same alley for sure
	10:31pm geezerette: Yes! Was just thinking of Rockit.
	10:32pm cupcakejenny: Oh this is cool I love this song
	10:38pm mgrog: Trippy!
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, crazy funky 45 by what was essentially an easy listening outfit
	10:41pm mgrog: You have a divining rod for hidden gems Larry!
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: If one must have a talent, it's not a bad one to have. Good ears run in the family.
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: The Jimi Hendrix Experience at their jazziest, thanks to Mitch Mitchell
	10:47pm Parq: I was just thinking, Irwin expounded at some length a while back on Mitchell's jazz-influenced drumming, and it really does come out on this track, big-time.
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: He was a powerhouse. His playing pre-Hendrix with Georgie Fame is top notch
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: ...Mitch Mitchell was the Jimi Hendrix of the drums; the perfect compliment, together with a solid, hold-it-down kind of bassist.
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I was digging Noel Redding's bass solo
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: was Noel on that track?
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: Yes, one of the few all-JHE tracks on the album (i.e. without guests)
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: If the Discogs breakdown is to be believed: www.discogs.com...
	10:56pm Parq: Redding vs Cox. Decisions, decisions. (Yes, I know, Redding by a landslide, but he does lose points for a really terrible solo album in the mid 70s. And let's not be too quick to slag Billy.)
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: I wouldn't slag Billy. He's part of Jimi's more soulful drift toward the end
	10:57pm geezerette: This version sounds minimal and isn't. Like it very much.
	10:57pm mgrog: Who's the vocalist?
	10:57pm Funky16Corners: Valerie Simpson
	10:57pm geezerette: ...of Walking in Space.
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: interesting. wikipedia says bass was played by Jimi on "1983..." (which is what you played - not to be a wise-ass!) ...i'd consult my Eddie Kramer book if i were home. i think he runs it down.
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: It's amazing how Quincy took a fairly small piece from HAIR and fleshed it out like this
	10:59pm mgrog: Of Ashford and Simpson?
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: The same
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: i think i like Cox just as much as Redding. i like the reformed experience (Jimi, Mitch, Billy) the best of all, i think.
	11:01pm geezerette: ahhhhh... :)
	11:02pm Parq: Most Hendrik cookoos I've known have been Noel all the way. I never quite bought it, and I'm glad there are other people who see it my way.
	11:02pm Parq: Dang, Larry, this is such a good show so far!
	11:03pm Funky16Corners: Thanks! I'm glad you're digging it!
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: Parq, i like that Billy held it down, amongst 2 immense, textural players... not that Noel didn't do the job, but he was a guitarist who begrudgingly became a bassist; and i think it manifest as not-as-heavy a bass.
	11:14pm coelacanth∅: ah, very sweet! you're Killing it Larry!
	11:14pm Funky16Corners: Thank you!
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: Everybody got their glowsticks out?
	11:22pm mgrog: These are the folks behind Little Fluffy Clouds?
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: Yes
	11:23pm mgrog: I don't think I properly prepared (psychically) for this show.
	11:24pm Funky16Corners: And you're in Colorado, too. For shame...
	11:27pm mgrog: I'll have to listen again from the archive. When do we get a snippet from Plan 9?
	11:28pm Funky16Corners: I'll have to dig one out for a future show. Perhaps something by Criswell.
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: And now, back into a more traditionally psychedelic head space...
	11:30pm mgrog: Aw yeaaaah
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Mister Barrett
	11:34pm Parq: Coalesc, @ 11:06 -- I think that may have been what impressed my friends back in the day. Redding played bass more like a guitar, which struck some people as more "musician-ly", whereas Billy played bass the way I used to (or tried to -- I never did get very good as a bassist, or as a guitarist).
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: You didn't see too many bassists in the 60s, at least on the rock side, breaking away from the standard issue styles
	11:38pm Parq: Nixon. Geez. Fucking Nixon.
	11:39pm geezerette: This show! oh! I'm floating! there's music in space... (miniturized television cameras)
	11:39pm cupcakejenny: The best photo of Neil Armstrong on the moon is not one of him directly. It's in Buzz's visor.
	11:39pm cupcakejenny: :)
	11:39pm geezerette: future past
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: In this set, Max Von Sydow, Peter Wyngarde, Neil Armstrong, Nixon, the whole gang.
	11:40pm geezerette: Jenny you're right!
	11:41pm Parq: Would "60 Pounds of Moon Rocks" be a good name for a band? Why or why not? Discuss.
	11:41pm cupcakejenny: Imagine going all the way there and not getting a picture!
	11:42pm geezerette: haha! :D
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: I forgot to load the film!!
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: 60 Pounds of Moon Rocks would have to have 60 members, 57 of them on percussion and backing vocals
	11:44pm cupcakejenny: Like you forgot the camera at the birth of your first kid! Lol
	11:44pm mgrog: I suppose 8miles high isn't funky enough. Or Mr Spaceman. Ezra is saying that Pink Floyd had a number of space related tunes... Not surprisingly
	11:44pm geezerette: tribute band is Pop Rox, sounds like a dad band.
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: Plus a series of 'Pebbles' albums for the tots
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: Parq, i agree with your friends too! -and i certainly never had a problem with Noel's playing...just maybe i liked Billy's playing more because it allowed for more freedom for the 2 freedom Lovers to fly...but then maybe it's just that i like the bluesy stuff that the later experience was getting into the best, and it happened to be Billy.
	11:46pm geezerette: :)
	11:47pm geezerette: Pebbles. :)
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: @Jenny, I forgot all about that. In my defense I was roused out of bed at 4:30AM
	11:50pm cupcakejenny: You're almost forgiven.
	11:51pm geezerette: Great show Larry! Good night all.
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for coming Geezerette!
	11:52pm cupcakejenny: Night!
	11:52pm Parq: Larry, you do know that there was a a band in Italy with, among other thing, several hundred drummers. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: I did not, and I am suitably intrigued!
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: "60 pounds of moon rocks" reminds me of a spot a girlfriend, who grew up nearby, brought me to called "ringing rocks". -in pa,usa; it's a dried up river bed with various sized rocks that are positioned on various sized other rocks - instead of buried in soil; so with nothing to dampen the vibration, they rang, in many tones, when you hit them. (with a hammer, or other rocks. ...6,000,000 pounds of moon rocks.
	11:54pm Parq: Larry, check the link below after you're off the air. And again, what a freakin' great show. www.youtube.com...
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: 'night, g
	11:57pm mgrog: Well executed!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all!
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Stellar program, Larry! Thanks! gnight all
	11:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: (...or was it interstellar?)
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Both!
