Listener comments!
	9:09pm Dean: Buddy of mine mentioned Wicks' passing today. And Kim Larsen of Gasolin'.
	♥ 9:10pm Mike Sin: Hi Dean!
	♥ 9:17pm Uncle Michael: Henry Padovani!
	♥ 9:18pm Uncle Michael: Dean, I hadn't heard about Kim Larsen. That smarts.
	9:19pm Dean: I know what I know about Gasolin' almost entirely from your show, UM.
	♥ 9:20pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, I don't think anyone else plays them much.
	♥ 9:20pm Mike Sin: Hi Uncle Mike!
	♥ 9:21pm Uncle Michael: I hear about Wicks from Will Birch's Facebook...which is appropriate and poignant.
	9:23pm Dean: I'm not on FB, but I have a friend deeply involved in the, uh, secondary market in not-exactly-authorized recordings.
	9:25pm DANG: Great show!
	9:25pm VonkA: Hi Mike! Colin and I listening at home.

	♥ 9:26pm Bootsie: Flash and the Pan, yes!!
	♥ 9:27pm Mike Sin: Hi Bootsie!
	9:29pm Dean: Fingers crossed for LA's The Pop. Have the LP, but too lazy to spin it.
	♥ 9:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: You're really here tonight, Mike, filling in for Nate? Or is it just an illusion?
	9:31pm DANG: Takes me back... 1980, dear Lord. In the words of Peter Sellers"I was not always as you see me now!"
	♥ 9:32pm Bootsie: Hi Mike!
	♥ 9:32pm Mike Sin: Hi Ken from Hyde Park!
	♥ 9:35pm Todd76Pct: Servin' up the rock tonight, Mike. Thanks! Really enjoying it!

	10:06pm Dean: Man, rock 'n' roll bands are really loud.

	10:11pm Dean: Shit, everything sounds better at 78.
	10:11pm geezerette: This show is making me insanely happy! Howdy, Dean & UM. :)
	♥ 10:11pm Uncle Michael: Hey, Geezer.
	10:11pm Dean: Hi, geezerette.
	10:13pm Jason: Fantastic mix tonight!
	10:13pm Karen: Ah bran
	10:15pm Dean: I love actual radio. I have fond memories of Rodney on the ROQ, the prog show on CSU Long Beach's radio station, and a weird Christian talk show featuring a Brother Paul in the LA area during the '80s. His theme song was Loggins & Messina's "Peace of Mind," which is not half bad, in retrospect.
	10:23pm rw: Hey Grandma. Hey Mike Sin. Hey everyone. Is this the Moby Grape song about Robitussin? Yes it is!
	10:24pm P-90: These sounds are indeed optical
	♥ 10:26pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Just happened to turn on WFMU and look who's here! Lucky Me!!! Hi Mike!!
	10:27pm rw: Not to dwell, but I've been told that Nation of Ulysses has at least three songs about Robitussin.
	10:27pm Dean: You've been told? By whom?
	10:28pm rw: Told by my friend Ernest. He's usually right about these things.
	10:30pm Rocky Horror: @Mike Sin: You Chimpmunked it
	♥ 10:31pm Mike Sin: Hi P-90!
	♥ 10:31pm Mike Sin: Hi rw!
	10:31pm Dean: Thanks, rw. Gotta drop those footnotes!
	♥ 10:31pm Mike Sin: Flypped Glynis!
	10:33pm rw: Dean, I can only vouch for one song personally. Could be just a rumor about the other two.
	♥ 10:34pm BerkeleyGuy: Gene Clark "Sings For You" is a great album. "On Her Own" is a must listen.
	10:34pm gene clark: I AM MUSIC
	♥ 10:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice Gene Clark track right there.
	♥ 10:38pm Uncle Michael: Bring on the bubblegum.
	10:41pm geezerette: Great song.
	10:44pm Sonny Rickles: Wow Optical Sound with Mike Sin! and The Turtles! Nice surprise!
	10:52pm Scraps: h’lo hey
	10:53pm Scraps: shoot, I missed a power pop set
	♥ 10:55pm Uncle Michael: I gotta go. Thanks for the music, Mike
	10:58pm geezerette: Thanks, Mike! Great show!
	♥ 11:00pm Mike Sin: Hi Sonny!
	♥ 11:00pm Mike Sin: Hi Scraps!
	11:00pm Dean: I just pitched in a nominal amount. Folks, please follow suit. Ah, yes, The Quick. One of LA's finest, if also shortest lived. Yet another album I don't play nearly enough.
	♥ 11:00pm Mike Sin: Have a good night, Uncle Mike! Thanks!
	♥ 11:02pm Mike Sin: Hi BerkeleyGuy
	♥ 11:03pm BerkeleyGuy: Wow! These guys are great. Quick
	♥ 11:03pm BerkeleyGuy: Hi Mike Sin
	11:06pm Dean: BerkeleyGuy, just so you know, I attended every Dead show, all of 'em, didn't miss one. I was born in '59, so do the math!
	♥ 11:07pm DC: Nice w Steve Harley
	♥ 11:08pm BerkeleyGuy: Dean, You went to all 2,300 shows? Wow I only went to 32. My first wife hated the Dead.
	11:10pm Dean: All of them. What's weird is that one of my seventh grader kid's teachers went to 800 of them, yet I don't recall ever bumping into her.
	♥ 11:10pm Mike Sin: Hi DC!
	♥ 11:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Do you think Judas Priest borrowed any of McGear's song? I feel like "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" is in there.
	11:23pm Dean: Skyhooks, yep, right up there with The Quick.
	11:26pm Matt_E: Forgot about McGear. My god, imagine being Paul McCartney's little brother and trying to make it as a musician.
	♥ 11:26pm Aitch: Yay Sparks! Skyhooks a surprise too.
	♥ 11:26pm Mike Sin: Hi Matt E!
	♥ 11:27pm Mike Sin: Hello Aitch!
	♥ 11:28pm BerkeleyGuy: I had forgotten how good Sparks were. "Kimono My House" is a really good album
	11:31pm Dean: Their stuff with Moroder is amazing.
	11:34pm Scraps: =Propaganda= and =Indiscreet=, the two albums directly after =Kimono My House=, are also awesome.
	♥ 11:38pm Mike Sin: Thanks Dean and Scraps!
	11:40pm katharsis: Yay Sparks
	11:40pm Scraps: Also, 2002’s =Li’l Beethoven= is swell. Featuring “What Are All These Bands So Angry About?” and “Your Call’s Very Important To Us, Please Hold”
	♥ 11:41pm Gaylord Fields: Hey there, Mike! I missed the first two hours, but they will make for the most delicious leftovers tomorrow!
	♥ 11:44pm Mike Sin: Hi Katharsis!
	♥ 11:44pm Matt Clarke: Ahhh I missed McGear!!
	♥ 11:44pm Mike Sin: Hello Gaylord!
	11:44pm Mister Dobalina: An endorsement from Gaylord Fields can not be beat!
	♥ 11:47pm Mike Sin: Hello Mr. Dobalina!
	11:50pm Scraps: Mr Bob Dobalina!
	♥ 11:55pm Mike Sin: Hey Matt!

	10:11pm geezerette: This show is making me insanely happy! Howdy, Dean & UM. :)
	♥ 10:11pm Uncle Michael: Hey, Geezer.
	10:11pm Dean: Hi, geezerette.
	10:13pm Jason: Fantastic mix tonight!
	10:13pm Karen: Ah bran
	10:15pm Dean: I love actual radio. I have fond memories of Rodney on the ROQ, the prog show on CSU Long Beach's radio station, and a weird Christian talk show featuring a Brother Paul in the LA area during the '80s. His theme song was Loggins & Messina's "Peace of Mind," which is not half bad, in retrospect.
	10:23pm rw: Hey Grandma. Hey Mike Sin. Hey everyone. Is this the Moby Grape song about Robitussin? Yes it is!
	10:24pm P-90: These sounds are indeed optical
	♥ 10:26pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Just happened to turn on WFMU and look who's here! Lucky Me!!! Hi Mike!!
	10:27pm rw: Not to dwell, but I've been told that Nation of Ulysses has at least three songs about Robitussin.
	10:27pm Dean: You've been told? By whom?
	10:28pm rw: Told by my friend Ernest. He's usually right about these things.
	10:30pm Rocky Horror: @Mike Sin: You Chimpmunked it
	♥ 10:31pm Mike Sin: Hi P-90!
	♥ 10:31pm Mike Sin: Hi rw!
	10:31pm Dean: Thanks, rw. Gotta drop those footnotes!
	♥ 10:31pm Mike Sin: Flypped Glynis!
	10:33pm rw: Dean, I can only vouch for one song personally. Could be just a rumor about the other two.
	♥ 10:34pm BerkeleyGuy: Gene Clark "Sings For You" is a great album. "On Her Own" is a must listen.
	10:34pm gene clark: I AM MUSIC
	♥ 10:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice Gene Clark track right there.
	♥ 10:38pm Uncle Michael: Bring on the bubblegum.
	10:41pm geezerette: Great song.
	10:44pm Sonny Rickles: Wow Optical Sound with Mike Sin! and The Turtles! Nice surprise!
	10:52pm Scraps: h’lo hey
	10:53pm Scraps: shoot, I missed a power pop set
	♥ 10:55pm Uncle Michael: I gotta go. Thanks for the music, Mike
	10:58pm geezerette: Thanks, Mike! Great show!
	♥ 11:00pm Mike Sin: Hi Sonny!
	♥ 11:00pm Mike Sin: Hi Scraps!
	11:00pm Dean: I just pitched in a nominal amount. Folks, please follow suit. Ah, yes, The Quick. One of LA's finest, if also shortest lived. Yet another album I don't play nearly enough.
	♥ 11:00pm Mike Sin: Have a good night, Uncle Mike! Thanks!
	♥ 11:02pm Mike Sin: Hi BerkeleyGuy
	♥ 11:03pm BerkeleyGuy: Wow! These guys are great. Quick
	♥ 11:03pm BerkeleyGuy: Hi Mike Sin
	11:06pm Dean: BerkeleyGuy, just so you know, I attended every Dead show, all of 'em, didn't miss one. I was born in '59, so do the math!
	♥ 11:07pm DC: Nice w Steve Harley
	♥ 11:08pm BerkeleyGuy: Dean, You went to all 2,300 shows? Wow I only went to 32. My first wife hated the Dead.
	11:10pm Dean: All of them. What's weird is that one of my seventh grader kid's teachers went to 800 of them, yet I don't recall ever bumping into her.
	♥ 11:10pm Mike Sin: Hi DC!
	♥ 11:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Do you think Judas Priest borrowed any of McGear's song? I feel like "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" is in there.
	11:23pm Dean: Skyhooks, yep, right up there with The Quick.
	11:26pm Matt_E: Forgot about McGear. My god, imagine being Paul McCartney's little brother and trying to make it as a musician.
	♥ 11:26pm Aitch: Yay Sparks! Skyhooks a surprise too.
	♥ 11:26pm Mike Sin: Hi Matt E!
	♥ 11:27pm Mike Sin: Hello Aitch!
	♥ 11:28pm BerkeleyGuy: I had forgotten how good Sparks were. "Kimono My House" is a really good album
	11:31pm Dean: Their stuff with Moroder is amazing.
	11:34pm Scraps: =Propaganda= and =Indiscreet=, the two albums directly after =Kimono My House=, are also awesome.
	♥ 11:38pm Mike Sin: Thanks Dean and Scraps!
	11:40pm katharsis: Yay Sparks
	11:40pm Scraps: Also, 2002’s =Li’l Beethoven= is swell. Featuring “What Are All These Bands So Angry About?” and “Your Call’s Very Important To Us, Please Hold”
	♥ 11:41pm Gaylord Fields: Hey there, Mike! I missed the first two hours, but they will make for the most delicious leftovers tomorrow!
	♥ 11:44pm Mike Sin: Hi Katharsis!
	♥ 11:44pm Matt Clarke: Ahhh I missed McGear!!
	♥ 11:44pm Mike Sin: Hello Gaylord!
	11:44pm Mister Dobalina: An endorsement from Gaylord Fields can not be beat!
	♥ 11:47pm Mike Sin: Hello Mr. Dobalina!
	11:50pm Scraps: Mr Bob Dobalina!
	♥ 11:55pm Mike Sin: Hey Matt!
