	10:04pm Kris Holmes: Hello, thanks for tuning in
	♥ 10:05pm coelacanth∅: hey Kris n chresti, 'nothers on ther way
	10:07pm Kris Holmes: Hey there!
	♥ 10:08pm coelacanth∅: the first time i heard mojo workin' was an album my parents had "the hitmakers" which was mostly second-rate covers of other bands' songs. mojo might've been paul revere and the raiders, in their very early days. pretty lame. i like a lot of their later stuff though.
	♥ 10:10pm Little Danny: Hey Kris, hey all
	10:11pm Kris Holmes: it's one of those songs that you remember the first time you heard it
	10:12pm Kris Holmes: Hi Dan!
	♥ 10:12pm Little Danny: You musta come across the Danny & the Sessions' version by now, Kris Hi!
	♥ 10:13pm coelacanth∅: for sure but when i heard JJ Cale's version i was blown away hi Danny
	♥ 10:14pm coelacanth∅: (...or maybe it wasn't his that i heard next?)
	10:14pm Kris Holmes: Danny & The Sessions is one I do not know
	♥ 10:14pm chresti: I had a Paul Revere and the Raiders record when I was ten, traded it for the Mamas and the Papas-not sure where the first one came from
	♥ 10:16pm chresti: Hi Danny
	♥ 10:17pm Little Danny: Their version of "Mojo" is on Cobra: www.discogs.com... Great frat-garage side!
	♥ 10:18pm Little Danny: Love these R&B tracks that are just a hair away from gospel
	♥ 10:18pm Little Danny: This is great by the way, this Lloyd Sims. New to me.
	♥ 10:19pm chresti: yeah- gospel-doo wop
	10:19pm Kris Holmes: I think he'd been listening to Jackie Wilson
	♥ 10:19pm coelacanth∅: paul revere and the raiders called it "mojo workout" and it was smoothed-out; devoid of any funkiness. www.discogs.com...
	♥ 10:19pm Little Danny: Definitely
	♥ 10:20pm Little Danny: re: Jackie Wilson
	10:21pm still b/p: Ya gotta gotta gotta read the liner notes on PR & Raiders Spirit of 67 album.
	♥ 10:22pm chresti: it could of been the other way around- mamas and papas first, seems more like a record my older brother would have given me
	♥ 10:24pm chresti: the Atlantic rhythm and blues compilations are great
	♥ 10:27pm chresti: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 10:28pm chresti: imperial
	♥ 10:28pm chresti: sunny shoes
	♥ 10:28pm coelacanth∅: great now next time i hear "sunny" i'll sing along but sing "shoes" instead.
	♥ 10:29pm chresti: haha!
	10:29pm Kris Holmes: yeah, exactly, definite borrowing going on
	♥ 10:29pm chresti: you're a gas!
	♥ 10:30pm chresti: what does that mean? Gas with you trash?
	♥ 10:31pm coelacanth∅: you wouldn't expect being "a gas" to be a compliment but the crowd says it's so
	10:33pm still b/p: Warning of methane buildup in active and covered landfills, no doubt.
	♥ 10:34pm chresti: haha sb/p! Public service announcement!
	♥ 10:34pm coelacanth∅: haha!
	10:35pm Kris Holmes: it means i dig your crazy talk
	♥ 10:36pm coelacanth∅: ....so it is truly a love song - from one to another, warning of the danger there in the landfill, where they generally hang.
	10:37pm Kris Holmes: lol
	♥ 10:39pm chresti: haha!
	♥ 10:39pm coelacanth∅: wow i forgot all about this one
	10:40pm little danny: Made for AM radio
	10:41pm Kris Holmes: love the snare sound
	♥ 10:41pm chresti: yeah! I don't think I was aware that their name was spiral staircase, I assumed it was chicago
	10:42pm Kris Holmes: hahahahaha
	10:43pm still b/p: I hear the Spiral Staircase song from time to time on oldies radio and I digs it as both a memory and snappy car-singable pop. I tried to look up Little Henry Lee to find release year. Didn't find date, but found out it might cost ya a hunnerd fifty dollahs to buy the 45!
	10:46pm Kris Holmes: It's around 1967, yes, I sold two copies in the last 6 months for $100 each. I found three at once for $3 each.
	♥ 10:46pm coelacanth∅: i remember it clearly now. c.1969 i used to steal teenbeat magazines for the song lyrics toward the back.
	♥ 10:47pm coelacanth∅: (more today than yesterday was in there)
	10:48pm little danny: Will you be shredding this evening tho?
	10:51pm Kris Holmes: LOL, nope, instagram/facebook, one night only & done hahaha
	10:52pm still b/p: My sisters had the magazines occasionally -- Tiger Beat, etc. But they were STRICT with permissions to peruse.
	10:52pm little danny: That’s not the answer I was looking for!
	10:53pm Kris Holmes: that is one ugly guitar
	♥ 10:55pm coelacanth∅: and that was "get ready, i need you" by the geers
	♥ 10:55pm chresti: you didn't have to do what you did, what you did...and I thank you!
	♥ 10:55pm chresti: was the music explosion
	♥ 10:57pm coelacanth∅: my older sister had tigerbeat magazines but they were all pictures and gossip, if i remember correctly. teenbeat had the lyrics. when i first started stealing them they were glossy only on the cover - or maybe on select pages; but much of it was like newspaper.
	♥ 10:57pm chresti: I had a magazine with the monkees
	10:58pm little danny: Awesome. Gotta be Page on guitar, no?
	10:58pm Kris Holmes: probably
	10:58pm little danny: Didn’t know Lulu had such a tough rocker!
	10:58pm Kris Holmes: maybe Beck
	11:00pm little danny: Page according to my googling now
	11:00pm still b/p: Oh, yah, Tiger Beat was all about the teen idol tizzies and strokey silliness. Lulu... that's a smile, and a sign-off. 5:40 wake-up. Great stuff. Thanks!
	11:01pm Kris Holmes: yep i also googled, killer.
	♥ 11:02pm coelacanth∅: i wish i had all those 'zines now. i remember being so happy when certain songs' lyrics appeared... "hitchin' a ride"; "vehicle"; "cracklin' rosie";"signed,sealed,delivered"....
	♥ 11:02pm coelacanth∅: 'night sb/p
	♥ 11:05pm chresti: night sb/p!
	♥ 11:07pm coelacanth∅: heh, i could be totally wrong with it being teenbeat! maybe it was "hit parader" (?)
	♥ 11:11pm chresti: when did 16 come out?
	11:13pm Kris Holmes: 68
	♥ 11:14pm chresti: or maybe just "Teen" Thanks Kris!
	♥ 11:31pm coelacanth∅: gotta sign off early Thanks Kris gnight chresti, Danny
	11:31pm Kris Holmes: good night
	♥ 11:31pm chresti: goodnight!
