	10:26pm Gary: I know, I know!
	10:27pm doctorjazz: Hey!
	10:27pm geezerette: Gary, it's a great film. Try it, think you would dig.
	10:27pm Funky16Corners: I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen a couple of times when I was a teenager in the 70s
	10:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey DR!
	10:28pm geezerette: Hey, NGH & Doc!
	10:28pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	10:31pm geezerette: Not the same without large audience of course, but really impressed with and enjoying Filmstruck.com
	10:32pm geezerette: ...and this music!!!
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: There are still a couple of the later Chaplin films I haven't seen yet
	10:33pm melgrog: Love the Brasileiros! My favorite language in song.
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: I love listening to Portuguese singing
	10:34pm geezerette: IMO the early ones are best. Love "The Kid" too. And "The Gold Rush". And "The Immigrant".
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: My boys loved Modern Times, I showed it to them when they were 10 and 8.
	10:35pm hyde: @geezerette can't wait until i can settle my life situation and set up either Filmstruck or cable with Turner Classic!
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: I can't live without TCM
	10:35pm melgrog: Like Sgt. Peppers plus Portuguese!
	10:36pm still b/p: I'm alive...barely...without TCM the last year or two.
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: That's what they were shooting for
	10:37pm geezerette: A lot of TCM content on Filmstruck, but I'd love to have both.
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: I'd watch TCM all day if I could
	10:39pm geezerette: Can't single out anything on show tonight cause I love it all! Same here. :)
	10:39pm melgrog: Always loved this one.
	10:40pm Funky16Corners: Which, Bebel?
	10:41pm geezerette: ooh,lovely.
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: Yeah. this is a really great album
	10:42pm hyde: going back: the last year or so i have been TCM-less. it was always my go to. really trying to get back to that place.
	10:43pm Funky16Corners: You discover all kinds of crazy things. For a while my wife and I were hooked on these old Ann Sothern 'Maisie' movies they played on Saturday mornings
	10:46pm still b/p: In a conversation last evening, a friend and I were relating scenes from Palm Beach Story and insisting to another friend who's otherwise quite familiar with such things that he HAS to see it. And where did I see it, several times? Gimme a T...gimme a C...
	10:46pm melgrog: Thanks for the trip to Brazil! I was referring to Baby. But I loved the Bebel Gilberto.
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: Preston Sturges is my boy!
	10:46pm geezerette: They've played ancient silents I've never even heard of. Lots of amazing pre -code too. Ted Turner is quite a character.
	10:47pm Funky16Corners: I miss Robert Osborne
	10:47pm geezerette: Yeah, Preston Sturges!
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: Miracle of Morgans Creek. Mad Wednesday, you name it
	10:49pm Jay Wolf: Where am I, man?!
	10:49pm geezerette: Haha, you have such good taste.
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	10:58pm hyde: aww, Robert Osborne. saw that guy intro so much stuff, Ben Mankewicz is at least a worthy successor.
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: Yes, I like him too
	11:00pm geezerette: Oops...Mr. Osborne is no longer with us?
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: Passed away a while back
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: In March
	11:02pm geezerette: I liked him too,but we weren't subscribers.
	11:03pm geezerette: So didn't watch him often.
	11:04pm geezerette: God,these records.
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: After he passed TCM ran some great tributes to him
	11:04pm hyde: hey music folks. time for bed for me. good night to the player and all the hangers on! farewell.
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: Nite Hyde!
	11:06pm geezerette: Seeya,Hyde. :)
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: Brace yourselves, this record is DEEP
	11:21pm melgrog: Would love to hear you do a show where you share your process of putting together a play list. I've never heard this Neil.
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: I could do that sometime.
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: That was the first track on his first solo album from 1968, the one that the Loner comes from
	11:23pm geezerette: Incredible.
	11:25pm geezerette: Much prefer solo work.
	11:25pm melgrog: Loner... I could read this multiple ways. Such a distinctive sound.
	11:25pm Funky16Corners: It's all kind of hippy dippy. I go through the stacks looking for something cool I haven't played/want to play, then think about what fits with it, thematically/sonically
	11:26pm geezerette: Nice!
	11:27pm Funky16Corners: I try to do it set by set though, so I have a couple of different kinds of sets in the show. I always try to make the last set kind of a "head" set
	11:27pm melgrog: I figured you let your encyclopedic music brain take you from stepping stone to stepping stone. :)
	11:27pm Funky16Corners: It's all kind of using my mental rolodex and following the vibe
	11:28pm geezerette: & stepping stoned.
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: Only spiritually (these days, anyway)...
	11:30pm melgrog: I feel a Monkees set in your future. :)
	11:31pm geezerette: Same thing. There's a sweetness and innocence in some of this music that suddenly seems necessary to me.
	11:31pm cupcakejenny: Haven't heard this in years!
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, gotta find peace wherever it's hiding
	11:32pm melgrog: Never heard this nick drake cover.
	11:32pm geezerette: This is fireplace music. (haha)
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: Playing this for Jenny, we saw him do this live
	11:33pm geezerette: truly wow.
	11:34pm Funky16Corners: I'll have to play some Nick Drake soon
	11:34pm cupcakejenny: Xoxo
	11:36pm cupcakejenny: Watch out everyone...I might go down to the vault and smooch the dj so he can't be talkin!
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: Uh Oh!
	11:36pm melgrog: Wow, never heard Bobby Darin do this either. I only know the Lovin Spoonful and Joe Cocker versions.
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, one of my favorite songs.
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: It's from his mid 60s folk rock albums
	11:37pm geezerette: So sweet.
	11:39pm geezerette: Who wrote this? I could swear we saw Richie Havens sing it. (Be Home Soon)
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: John Sebastian
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that Richie Havens covered it, too
	11:41pm geezerette: thanks! great set.
	11:42pm still b/p: My whole life I don't know the "Darling Be Home Soon" lyrics said ..."you dawdled" and then "...I toddled." Could never hear what it was. Now I've looked it up and the audio blur is cleared up. One less mystery. Is that good or bad?
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: Good. I discover stuff like that all the time
	11:43pm melgrog: This is a very different candy says
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: This is the one by the VU
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: Is there an alternate take on one of the comps, or the boxed set?
	11:45pm still b/p: The good part is the unexpected. I didn't just say"oh, okay." I says, "dawdled/toddled...? No kiddin?! Huh!"
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: It's a great rhyme
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: Mel - these tracks were recorded from a weird 1970 Best of the VU that MGM put out, so it's possible there are different mixes than the LPs: www.discogs.com...
	11:47pm melgrog: Trying to find it now to see if I'm thinking of a different song or a different version
	11:49pm melgrog: Never heard this one either. Really beautiful sound
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: Jesus is my fave VU song
	11:51pm geezerette: Very,"Dancin' in the Moonlight".
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed. Love that early Bruce stuff
	11:53pm geezerette: this is great.
	11:53pm Cubs Win: good evening.
	11:53pm Funky16Corners: Hey boss!
	11:53pm melgrog: Sneaking in Bruce eh? Nice.
	11:54pm geezerette: Like his voice here.
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: This is what they call required NJ content, like on the Great White North, but NJ instead of Canada
	11:55pm Uncle Michael: I'm here for last call.
	11:55pm geezerette: UM! Go Cubs.
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: This round is on me!
	11:55pm Uncle Michael: JerCon
	11:55pm melgrog: I think I was thinking of Stephanie Says. My bad.
	11:56pm melgrog: I'll take a Manhattan with my Django.
	11:56pm geezerette: Thanks for gorgeous show! Happy week all.
	11:56pm still b/p: Do we all look prettier at closing time?
	11:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for coming Geezerette!
	11:57pm northguineahills: night, y'all!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Do I have to be the bad guy that turns on the house lights?
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Nite NGH!
	11:57pm Uncle Michael: I'll stack the chairs.
	11:58pm Uncle Michael: You don't have to go home, but you an't stay here!
	11:59pm still b/p: I thought the Django melody was same as Jackie Gleason theme...but that has different name....but is the same, or has identical passages..? What...who...which?
	11:59pm melgrog: Thanks for an awesome musical journey! Happy trails!
	12:00am still b/p: As Jackie said, "Goodnight, everybody!"
	12:00am Uncle Michael: Gleason's was "Melancholy Serenade"
	12:01am still b/p: Give 'em a side by side, though...
	12:01am Funky16Corners: That was a good one, too. I should track it down
	12:01am Funky16Corners: Nite Mel!
	12:01am cupcakejenny: Night everyone
	12:02am Funky16Corners: There are def similarities between Nuage and Melancholy Serenade
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Nite Jenny! See you in a few.
	12:03am cupcakejenny: Hurry on up!

	11:00pm geezerette: Oops...Mr. Osborne is no longer with us?
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: Passed away a while back
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: In March
	11:02pm geezerette: I liked him too,but we weren't subscribers.
	11:03pm geezerette: So didn't watch him often.
	11:04pm geezerette: God,these records.
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: After he passed TCM ran some great tributes to him
	11:04pm hyde: hey music folks. time for bed for me. good night to the player and all the hangers on! farewell.
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: Nite Hyde!
	11:06pm geezerette: Seeya,Hyde. :)
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: Brace yourselves, this record is DEEP
	11:21pm melgrog: Would love to hear you do a show where you share your process of putting together a play list. I've never heard this Neil.
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: I could do that sometime.
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: That was the first track on his first solo album from 1968, the one that the Loner comes from
	11:23pm geezerette: Incredible.
	11:25pm geezerette: Much prefer solo work.
	11:25pm melgrog: Loner... I could read this multiple ways. Such a distinctive sound.
	11:25pm Funky16Corners: It's all kind of hippy dippy. I go through the stacks looking for something cool I haven't played/want to play, then think about what fits with it, thematically/sonically
	11:26pm geezerette: Nice!
	11:27pm Funky16Corners: I try to do it set by set though, so I have a couple of different kinds of sets in the show. I always try to make the last set kind of a "head" set
	11:27pm melgrog: I figured you let your encyclopedic music brain take you from stepping stone to stepping stone. :)
	11:27pm Funky16Corners: It's all kind of using my mental rolodex and following the vibe
	11:28pm geezerette: & stepping stoned.
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: Only spiritually (these days, anyway)...
	11:30pm melgrog: I feel a Monkees set in your future. :)
	11:31pm geezerette: Same thing. There's a sweetness and innocence in some of this music that suddenly seems necessary to me.
	11:31pm cupcakejenny: Haven't heard this in years!
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, gotta find peace wherever it's hiding
	11:32pm melgrog: Never heard this nick drake cover.
	11:32pm geezerette: This is fireplace music. (haha)
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: Playing this for Jenny, we saw him do this live
	11:33pm geezerette: truly wow.
	11:34pm Funky16Corners: I'll have to play some Nick Drake soon
	11:34pm cupcakejenny: Xoxo
	11:36pm cupcakejenny: Watch out everyone...I might go down to the vault and smooch the dj so he can't be talkin!
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: Uh Oh!
	11:36pm melgrog: Wow, never heard Bobby Darin do this either. I only know the Lovin Spoonful and Joe Cocker versions.
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, one of my favorite songs.
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: It's from his mid 60s folk rock albums
	11:37pm geezerette: So sweet.
	11:39pm geezerette: Who wrote this? I could swear we saw Richie Havens sing it. (Be Home Soon)
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: John Sebastian
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that Richie Havens covered it, too
	11:41pm geezerette: thanks! great set.
	11:42pm still b/p: My whole life I don't know the "Darling Be Home Soon" lyrics said ..."you dawdled" and then "...I toddled." Could never hear what it was. Now I've looked it up and the audio blur is cleared up. One less mystery. Is that good or bad?
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: Good. I discover stuff like that all the time
	11:43pm melgrog: This is a very different candy says
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: This is the one by the VU
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: Is there an alternate take on one of the comps, or the boxed set?
	11:45pm still b/p: The good part is the unexpected. I didn't just say"oh, okay." I says, "dawdled/toddled...? No kiddin?! Huh!"
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: It's a great rhyme
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: Mel - these tracks were recorded from a weird 1970 Best of the VU that MGM put out, so it's possible there are different mixes than the LPs: www.discogs.com...
	11:47pm melgrog: Trying to find it now to see if I'm thinking of a different song or a different version
	11:49pm melgrog: Never heard this one either. Really beautiful sound
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: Jesus is my fave VU song
	11:51pm geezerette: Very,"Dancin' in the Moonlight".
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed. Love that early Bruce stuff
	11:53pm geezerette: this is great.
	11:53pm Cubs Win: good evening.
	11:53pm Funky16Corners: Hey boss!
	11:53pm melgrog: Sneaking in Bruce eh? Nice.
	11:54pm geezerette: Like his voice here.
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: This is what they call required NJ content, like on the Great White North, but NJ instead of Canada
	11:55pm Uncle Michael: I'm here for last call.
	11:55pm geezerette: UM! Go Cubs.
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: This round is on me!
	11:55pm Uncle Michael: JerCon
	11:55pm melgrog: I think I was thinking of Stephanie Says. My bad.
	11:56pm melgrog: I'll take a Manhattan with my Django.
	11:56pm geezerette: Thanks for gorgeous show! Happy week all.
	11:56pm still b/p: Do we all look prettier at closing time?
	11:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for coming Geezerette!
	11:57pm northguineahills: night, y'all!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Do I have to be the bad guy that turns on the house lights?
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Nite NGH!
	11:57pm Uncle Michael: I'll stack the chairs.
	11:58pm Uncle Michael: You don't have to go home, but you an't stay here!
	11:59pm still b/p: I thought the Django melody was same as Jackie Gleason theme...but that has different name....but is the same, or has identical passages..? What...who...which?
	11:59pm melgrog: Thanks for an awesome musical journey! Happy trails!
	12:00am still b/p: As Jackie said, "Goodnight, everybody!"
	12:00am Uncle Michael: Gleason's was "Melancholy Serenade"
	12:01am still b/p: Give 'em a side by side, though...
	12:01am Funky16Corners: That was a good one, too. I should track it down
	12:01am Funky16Corners: Nite Mel!
	12:01am cupcakejenny: Night everyone
	12:02am Funky16Corners: There are def similarities between Nuage and Melancholy Serenade
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Nite Jenny! See you in a few.
	12:03am cupcakejenny: Hurry on up!
