	7:13pm Linda Lee: i like that differentiation. thank you John Waters.
	7:13pm dale: i like how the graphic designer skewed the 'a' in ape so you know it's a wacky comedy.
	7:13pm Linda Lee: right. not a documentary.
	7:14pm Michael 98145: :)
	7:14pm dale: linda - don't make me do a spit take with my cocktail
	7:14pm Linda Lee: is that Tony Danza?
	7:15pm Linda Lee: i'd consider that an honor, dale. :-D
	7:15pm dale: yes - he looks like an asian transexual there though.
	7:16pm Linda Lee: an asian transexual? :-D
	7:17pm dale: it's the lush black straight hair cut in a shag
	7:18pm dale: recording radio programs on vhs - hardcore.
	7:18pm Linda Lee: i'd love hearing some shows from the mid 80s, when i first tuned in.
	7:19pm Linda Lee: did he really say vhs?
	7:20pm common: I remember all of these films. wow
	7:20pm Greg from ZONE 5: Holy SMOKES. Please let Ken know about those VHS tapes!
	7:21pm Linda Lee: he has to be kidding. how the hell would you tape radio onto video tape? and why?
	7:22pm Plumber Joe E.: Hi Ken, It’s Joseph!
	7:22pm Linda Lee: i can guess the theme!
	7:24pm dale: vhs had three speeds - slow is three hours on a 60 minute tape. as long as the patch cords matched from phono output on the receiver to in on the vhs recorder - pretty simple.
	7:24pm mb: @Linda - you just hook up the RCA jacks to a mixer or another tape deck. I beleive you get better fidelity with the wider tape.
	7:24pm Linda Lee: still not sure why you'd do it. we did have cassettes back then.
	7:25pm Linda Lee: they were cheap too!
	7:26pm Linda Lee: far more portable.
	7:27pm dale: it's about recording length linda.
	7:27pm dale: ..and if you don't have a cassette deck....
	7:29pm Linda Lee: i'd go portable over fidelity of a recording of a bad signal. iirc more of us had cassette decks & boom boxes than vhs players ~ which were generally the size of samsonite suitcases.
	7:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Danny Devito's co-star in the Twins movie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, had emergency open heart surgery the other day. Hope he makes a full recovery.
	7:32pm Linda Lee: in any cases i hope Vinnie digitizes that stuff before the tapes literally fall apart.
	7:32pm Number Six: Don't forget, what's the average length of an FMU show. You could record 2 3 hour shows one 1 vhs instead of having to flip & swap cassettes.
	7:33pm dale: c120s had shitty fidelity.
	7:34pm Robert Tables: This topic about recording radio to VHS was on another recent show's comments board. Someone said that consumer tape decks generally lacked programmability, but it was a very commmon feature on VCRs.
	7:35pm mb: Holy Sons is a band that records to VHS tape. They get the tapes from people who throw out their Grateful Dead bootleg movies.
	7:35pm Linda Lee: i guess the listening & sharing was more important than the recording for me. i liked portability. cassettes were also easy to duplicate & share. most of us couldn't duplicate vhs tapes & the players were disappearing even as cassette decks became more & more portable.
	7:35pm Number Six: True. You wouldn't have to be there to make the recording.
	7:36pm dale: arlene dahl! she was in journey to the center of the earth.
	7:37pm Linda Lee: we didn't consider recording to vhs any darn way. :-D
	7:44pm dale: was this a remake of boudou saved from drowning? or was that down and out in beverly hills? fee like it was a renoir reboot anyway.
	7:45pm Linda Lee: that was Down & Out.
	7:47pm dale: twin batman villians
	7:53pm Linda Lee: 2 explicit references to queer sex in 45 minutes! that's far above the show average. :-D
	7:53pm Sal: I'll be there
	7:53pm dale: never cared for skynyrd until i watched the muscle shoals doc. cool guys.
	7:54pm dale: ha ha. linda - you are full of pi$$ and vinegar tonight!
	7:55pm Linda Lee: i'm just like sourpuss.
	7:57pm dale: i'm more of a trotsky
	7:58pm Linda Lee: are you? good for you! :-)
	7:58pm dale: remember how 70s sitcom themes made into the top 40 at the time?
	7:58pm Linda Lee: what is this last piece? i want it at my funeral.
	7:59pm Sal: Theme from TAXI
	7:59pm dale: thank you veddy much.
	7:59pm Linda Lee: i do remember that top 40 crossover!
	8:17pm slugluv1313: yes! theme from "Taxi"! was just thinking of that show yesterday -- never watched it while it was on (think i was in college and without a TV -- nice!) but watched it all the time when it was in re-runs (mid-1980s, i think?) now, just evokes (for me, at least) those "old" days of NYC -- not that NYC was ever a small town, but definitely had more personality back then -- sure there were the cold and sterile "business" areas but the whole city certainly did not feel like that!
	8:18pm slugluv1313: hi Linda Lee!!! hope all is good! yes! isn't that theme from "Taxi" wonderful?
	9:48pm Raina: Great show! Devon, why don't you like to talk about where you're from? Loved your chat with Vinnie. I miss hearing him call into the Stern show while riding the bus to work.
