Listener comments!
	6:51pm cklequ: Carpenters, yes.... Bandcamp may have tipped me off that this show was coming.
	6:56pm Gary: Bandcamp, ha ha ... hey there, cklequ!
	6:57pm cklequ: They send me updates...... I'm following you, but not in a creepy way.
	6:58pm Gary: I love following peeps on Bandcamp, but I gotta update
	7:01pm listener james from westwood: Howdy, Gary and everyone! Looking forward to all the different spins on the Carpenters!
	7:01pm Gary: James!
	7:04pm glenn: sure, but can they build a house?
	7:05pm Gary: Ha ha, hey Glenn!
	7:06pm hyde: when i was young i listened to the radio waitin' for my favorite songs when they played i'd sing along it made me smile
	7:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Funny, I played slowed-down Carpenters on the show today.
	7:07pm Gary: I'm smiling now, Hyde! And I owe you an email
	7:07pm Gary: @Kenzo [thumbs up]
	7:08pm Gary: FYI the title of the album whose cover we see to our left is Richard Likes It Slow
	7:14pm northguineahills: I know kim gordon was a karen carpenter fan, and besides the cover they did, SY also dedicated a song to her.
	7:15pm northguineahills: Clicky starred so I can find the archive. I'll be leaving work in 15 minutes.
	7:15pm Gary: NGH! Yes, we'll be playing both at some point tonight
	7:16pm hyde: @Gary oh yeah, there was talk of Lowell. i have some 10 days or so of vacationing left. i do have a Lowell itinerary, but lemme know if you are heading this way or not!
	7:17pm cklequ: I've always been partial to the Thinking Fellers Union cover of Superstar over the Sonic Youth version. But i'm a sucker for those fellers.
	7:18pm Gary: I have not yet heard that cover-of-a-cover-of-a-cover-of-a-cover, cklequ
	7:19pm northguineahills: I saw the SY version on 120 minutes and immediately bought the tribute album (i was in HS), it eventually led me to the Carpenters original music. I love the Thinking Fellers Union, but have yet to hear their cover.
	7:20pm glenn: yikes.
	7:20pm hyde: @ngh man, i love Thinking Fellers Union too
	7:20pm cklequ: They both came out around the same time...
	7:25pm cklequ: And they're sort of eerily similar. The first time i heard the Carpenters was via Sonic Youth and it blew me away. Then i heard the Thinking Fellers version and it blew me away again.
	7:33pm northguineahills: Ok, I'm out, thanks Gary. Might see you before 10!
	7:34pm Gary: Happy, trails, NGH!
	7:37pm geezerette: Gary, what a crazily beautiful concept!!! I was not a fan but I'm beginning to see the light where I used to see only lightness. Also never heard their Beach Boys appropriation before. Howdy fellow shoppers!
	7:38pm Gary: Well, howdy doo, Geezerette!
	7:39pm geezerette: !!!:)
	7:40pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, Hayes!
	7:45pm geezerette: What L. James said! (hiya James!)
	7:48pm hyde: yay, geezerette!
	7:50pm geezerette: Hyyyyyyde!!! :D
	8:01pm melinda: hi chums! Ready for Carpenters.
	8:02pm Gary: Melindaaa!
	8:19pm Parq: The Carps' "Superstar" was itself a cover, natch. Famously, their changing the lyric "sleep with you" to "be with you" broke a logjam among music industry types, who loved the song but felt it could never be a hit if it spelled out that the girl actually fucked the guy. Apparently, this simple and obvious change never occurred to any of them
	8:19pm hyde: ahhh i love this cover SO MUCH
	8:20pm Gary: Parq!!!!
	8:22pm Santos L Halper: Loving it all Gary, looking forward to catching the first hour later. Is there a bad version of Superstar out there?
	8:23pm Parq: Sí, mi jefe.
	8:23pm listener james from westwood: ahhh...was hoping ros and sonic youth would make it in!
	8:23pm Gary: Santos L!!!!
	8:24pm still b/p: Hola, Carpenteros. This SY version sounds like some Donovan-channeling.
	8:25pm Gary: Good ears, b/p!
	8:27pm Parq: This mix of the Carps' version is possibly the best version of them all.
	8:28pm still b/p: Wonder if Richard squirms to hear dry isolated elements. "It needs all my stuff...the stuff..where's my studio...stuff?"
	8:28pm Gary: ha ha
	8:29pm Santos L Halper: Whose bass?
	8:29pm melinda: I like all the studio stuff.
	8:30pm Parq: Stili, yeh, kind of nice to imagine that, isn't it?
	8:32pm glenn: joe osborn is probably the bass player.
	8:33pm tim abdellah: OMG - what a great show idea! Hi Gary and Everyone!
	8:35pm Parq: Someone could do a similar show like this exploring Leon Russel. Somebody could. Just saying.
	8:35pm Gary: Tiiim!!!
	8:35pm glenn: The Osborn Top 40 With a recording career that spanned three decades, one can assume there might be a few hit songs along the way. In Joe Osborns case, the number is around 200. This list contains songs that appeared on the pop charts. According to Joe, its a little incomplete due to the fact that he cant remember every session. In his days in Nashville, Osborn played on53 certifiable number one songs on the country charts.

	8:36pm Parq: And since I'm giving unsolicited advice, if you really wanted to get meta, you could throw something into this show from the Brit skinhead compilation "If Oy Were a Carpenter".
	8:36pm Gary: Dayum
	8:38pm Gary: Wait, is that a real compilation?
	8:38pm tim abdellah: @Glenn - Whoa!
	8:40pm hyde: ooh i also love this cover SO MUCH
	8:40pm melinda: I love this cover.
	8:40pm Gary: I first heard it live in 2010
	8:40pm glenn: no, those are some of the songs osborn played bass on.
	8:41pm coelacanth∅: greetings Gary, Bodegaryans
	8:41pm Scraps: Shonen Shonen Knife Knife!
	8:42pm Gary: Coela!!! Scraps!!!
	8:43pm still b/p: For better or worse...A memory-image forever stuck/associated with Carpenters since 71-72: a large felt banner created by students at my Catholic school and hung in the auditorium foyer, depicting a simple turntable circle and tonearm, and the words, "We've only just begun."
	8:45pm Gary: I want to see that banner now
	8:46pm hyde: @still b/p it sounds a little cool
	8:47pm Santos L Halper: This is great...oh the anticipation
	8:49pm Parq: Sigh, No, turns out faulty memory on my part. The comp I'm thinking of was "Strength Through Oi". (I misspelled it "Oy" to boot.) "If Oi Were a Carpenter" was the title of Lester Bangs's last piece.
	8:50pm Parq: But dammit, it should have been a real comp!
	8:51pm Gary: Ha ha
	8:54pm melinda: b/p that made me laugh
	8:59pm cklequ: Now this is what i call a cover song. Butchered as hell, and i still want to listen.
	9:05pm melinda: Sing (Sing a Song) gives me warm fuzzies.
	9:09pm coelacanth∅: solstice. we don't need a war on that.
	9:11pm Gary: True
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: warm fuzzies yet, melinda?
	9:16pm still b/p: Perry and Karen together, singing bits of each other's songs. I think Perry's reading lyrics off cue cards. Don't watch right now, of course, but enjoy with family over the holidays. www.youtube.com...
	9:16pm hyde: this is one of my fave Sonic Youth things...
	9:17pm tim abdellah: Love this song! Haven't heard it for many moons!
	9:39pm tim abdellah: Off to the evening commute - thanks for the memories, Gary. G'nite all!
	9:39pm Gary: Happy trails, Tim!
	9:41pm Funky16corners: Good evening Gary!
	9:41pm Gary: Larry!
	9:43pm Gary: Join Larry in the next room for his first annual multidimensional holiday spectacular! wfmu.org...
	9:43pm Funky16corners: Who is this?
	9:43pm Gary: Swirl!
	9:44pm Funky16corners: Cool
	9:44pm Gary: Australian band, I think
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: I despise plenty and I love plenty of artists' music/ things in general, but 100% of the time anyone's said "you either love it or hate it", I've either loved it, or, most of the time, didn't hate it but didn't love it. the carpenters I can only take in tiny doses; but the covers can be pretty stellar.
	9:48pm Funky16corners: I love a lot of their songs, but I will always stop to listen to Karen’s voice
	9:49pm Gary: The stripped-down versions have given me a great new appreciation of her voice
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: yeah I liked that, something you played before - I was away from the computer but I heard what sounded like a demo. - that's the case with many of Paul's Beatles songs. the demos or early takes, without the slippery sugar smothering them, are much preferred.
	9:53pm Funky16corners: I love this song. Theme to a weird but cool movie
	9:57pm hyde: thanks!
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary! have a happy whatever! take care y'all or see ya soon
	9:59pm still b/p: Nicely done, thanks.
	9:59pm Gary: Night everyone!
	9:59pm Santos L Halper: Thanks Gary!
	8:55pm mzzmz: Hi Gary, thank you for this Carpenters sp show.My two cents is that No One in The World rendition by LOCUST in their album MORNING LIGHT.
	9:26pm mzzmz: and Joe Osborn rules!
	9:33pm mzzmz: Hi Gary, you should put together Leon Russell show some time.
	10:01pm mzzmz: 2nd half of this show reminded me Olivia's Radio Ravioli alot.

Listener comments!
	6:51pm cklequ: Carpenters, yes.... Bandcamp may have tipped me off that this show was coming.
	6:56pm Gary: Bandcamp, ha ha ... hey there, cklequ!
	6:57pm cklequ: They send me updates...... I'm following you, but not in a creepy way.
	6:58pm Gary: I love following peeps on Bandcamp, but I gotta update
	7:01pm listener james from westwood: Howdy, Gary and everyone! Looking forward to all the different spins on the Carpenters!
	7:01pm Gary: James!
	7:04pm glenn: sure, but can they build a house?
	7:05pm Gary: Ha ha, hey Glenn!
	7:06pm hyde: when i was young i listened to the radio waitin' for my favorite songs when they played i'd sing along it made me smile
	7:07pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Funny, I played slowed-down Carpenters on the show today.
	7:07pm Gary: I'm smiling now, Hyde! And I owe you an email
	7:07pm Gary: @Kenzo [thumbs up]
	7:08pm Gary: FYI the title of the album whose cover we see to our left is Richard Likes It Slow
	7:14pm northguineahills: I know kim gordon was a karen carpenter fan, and besides the cover they did, SY also dedicated a song to her.
	7:15pm northguineahills: Clicky starred so I can find the archive. I'll be leaving work in 15 minutes.
	7:15pm Gary: NGH! Yes, we'll be playing both at some point tonight
	7:16pm hyde: @Gary oh yeah, there was talk of Lowell. i have some 10 days or so of vacationing left. i do have a Lowell itinerary, but lemme know if you are heading this way or not!
	7:17pm cklequ: I've always been partial to the Thinking Fellers Union cover of Superstar over the Sonic Youth version. But i'm a sucker for those fellers.
	7:18pm Gary: I have not yet heard that cover-of-a-cover-of-a-cover-of-a-cover, cklequ
	7:19pm northguineahills: I saw the SY version on 120 minutes and immediately bought the tribute album (i was in HS), it eventually led me to the Carpenters original music. I love the Thinking Fellers Union, but have yet to hear their cover.
	7:20pm glenn: yikes.
	7:20pm hyde: @ngh man, i love Thinking Fellers Union too
	7:20pm cklequ: They both came out around the same time...
	7:25pm cklequ: And they're sort of eerily similar. The first time i heard the Carpenters was via Sonic Youth and it blew me away. Then i heard the Thinking Fellers version and it blew me away again.
	7:33pm northguineahills: Ok, I'm out, thanks Gary. Might see you before 10!
	7:34pm Gary: Happy, trails, NGH!
	7:37pm geezerette: Gary, what a crazily beautiful concept!!! I was not a fan but I'm beginning to see the light where I used to see only lightness. Also never heard their Beach Boys appropriation before. Howdy fellow shoppers!
	7:38pm Gary: Well, howdy doo, Geezerette!
	7:39pm geezerette: !!!:)
	7:40pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, Hayes!
	7:45pm geezerette: What L. James said! (hiya James!)
	7:48pm hyde: yay, geezerette!
	7:50pm geezerette: Hyyyyyyde!!! :D
	8:01pm melinda: hi chums! Ready for Carpenters.
	8:02pm Gary: Melindaaa!
	8:19pm Parq: The Carps' "Superstar" was itself a cover, natch. Famously, their changing the lyric "sleep with you" to "be with you" broke a logjam among music industry types, who loved the song but felt it could never be a hit if it spelled out that the girl actually fucked the guy. Apparently, this simple and obvious change never occurred to any of them
	8:19pm hyde: ahhh i love this cover SO MUCH
	8:20pm Gary: Parq!!!!
	8:22pm Santos L Halper: Loving it all Gary, looking forward to catching the first hour later. Is there a bad version of Superstar out there?
	8:23pm Parq: Sí, mi jefe.
	8:23pm listener james from westwood: ahhh...was hoping ros and sonic youth would make it in!
	8:23pm Gary: Santos L!!!!
	8:24pm still b/p: Hola, Carpenteros. This SY version sounds like some Donovan-channeling.
	8:25pm Gary: Good ears, b/p!
	8:27pm Parq: This mix of the Carps' version is possibly the best version of them all.
	8:28pm still b/p: Wonder if Richard squirms to hear dry isolated elements. "It needs all my stuff...the stuff..where's my studio...stuff?"
	8:28pm Gary: ha ha
	8:29pm Santos L Halper: Whose bass?
	8:29pm melinda: I like all the studio stuff.
	8:30pm Parq: Stili, yeh, kind of nice to imagine that, isn't it?
	8:32pm glenn: joe osborn is probably the bass player.
	8:33pm tim abdellah: OMG - what a great show idea! Hi Gary and Everyone!
	8:35pm Parq: Someone could do a similar show like this exploring Leon Russel. Somebody could. Just saying.
	8:35pm Gary: Tiiim!!!
	8:35pm glenn: The Osborn Top 40 With a recording career that spanned three decades, one can assume there might be a few hit songs along the way. In Joe Osborns case, the number is around 200. This list contains songs that appeared on the pop charts. According to Joe, its a little incomplete due to the fact that he cant remember every session. In his days in Nashville, Osborn played on53 certifiable number one songs on the country charts.

	8:36pm Parq: And since I'm giving unsolicited advice, if you really wanted to get meta, you could throw something into this show from the Brit skinhead compilation "If Oy Were a Carpenter".
	8:36pm Gary: Dayum
	8:38pm Gary: Wait, is that a real compilation?
	8:38pm tim abdellah: @Glenn - Whoa!
	8:40pm hyde: ooh i also love this cover SO MUCH
	8:40pm melinda: I love this cover.
	8:40pm Gary: I first heard it live in 2010
	8:40pm glenn: no, those are some of the songs osborn played bass on.
	8:41pm coelacanth∅: greetings Gary, Bodegaryans
	8:41pm Scraps: Shonen Shonen Knife Knife!
	8:42pm Gary: Coela!!! Scraps!!!
	8:43pm still b/p: For better or worse...A memory-image forever stuck/associated with Carpenters since 71-72: a large felt banner created by students at my Catholic school and hung in the auditorium foyer, depicting a simple turntable circle and tonearm, and the words, "We've only just begun."
	8:45pm Gary: I want to see that banner now
	8:46pm hyde: @still b/p it sounds a little cool
	8:47pm Santos L Halper: This is great...oh the anticipation
	8:49pm Parq: Sigh, No, turns out faulty memory on my part. The comp I'm thinking of was "Strength Through Oi". (I misspelled it "Oy" to boot.) "If Oi Were a Carpenter" was the title of Lester Bangs's last piece.
	8:50pm Parq: But dammit, it should have been a real comp!
	8:51pm Gary: Ha ha
	8:54pm melinda: b/p that made me laugh
	8:59pm cklequ: Now this is what i call a cover song. Butchered as hell, and i still want to listen.
	9:05pm melinda: Sing (Sing a Song) gives me warm fuzzies.
	9:09pm coelacanth∅: solstice. we don't need a war on that.
	9:11pm Gary: True
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: warm fuzzies yet, melinda?
	9:16pm still b/p: Perry and Karen together, singing bits of each other's songs. I think Perry's reading lyrics off cue cards. Don't watch right now, of course, but enjoy with family over the holidays. www.youtube.com...
	9:16pm hyde: this is one of my fave Sonic Youth things...
	9:17pm tim abdellah: Love this song! Haven't heard it for many moons!
	9:39pm tim abdellah: Off to the evening commute - thanks for the memories, Gary. G'nite all!
	9:39pm Gary: Happy trails, Tim!
	9:41pm Funky16corners: Good evening Gary!
	9:41pm Gary: Larry!
	9:43pm Gary: Join Larry in the next room for his first annual multidimensional holiday spectacular! wfmu.org...
	9:43pm Funky16corners: Who is this?
	9:43pm Gary: Swirl!
	9:44pm Funky16corners: Cool
	9:44pm Gary: Australian band, I think
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: I despise plenty and I love plenty of artists' music/ things in general, but 100% of the time anyone's said "you either love it or hate it", I've either loved it, or, most of the time, didn't hate it but didn't love it. the carpenters I can only take in tiny doses; but the covers can be pretty stellar.
	9:48pm Funky16corners: I love a lot of their songs, but I will always stop to listen to Karen’s voice
	9:49pm Gary: The stripped-down versions have given me a great new appreciation of her voice
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: yeah I liked that, something you played before - I was away from the computer but I heard what sounded like a demo. - that's the case with many of Paul's Beatles songs. the demos or early takes, without the slippery sugar smothering them, are much preferred.
	9:53pm Funky16corners: I love this song. Theme to a weird but cool movie
	9:57pm hyde: thanks!
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary! have a happy whatever! take care y'all or see ya soon
	9:59pm still b/p: Nicely done, thanks.
	9:59pm Gary: Night everyone!
	9:59pm Santos L Halper: Thanks Gary!
	8:55pm mzzmz: Hi Gary, thank you for this Carpenters sp show.My two cents is that No One in The World rendition by LOCUST in their album MORNING LIGHT.
	9:26pm mzzmz: and Joe Osborn rules!
	9:33pm mzzmz: Hi Gary, you should put together Leon Russell show some time.
	10:01pm mzzmz: 2nd half of this show reminded me Olivia's Radio Ravioli alot.
