Listener comments!
	10:02pm chresti: Ooh! Down home!!! Girl !!!
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: hey Larry and future funksters
	10:03pm Cal Zone!: Rock me gently! ;)
	10:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Chresti! C!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: 2nd time in 24 hours hearing this song. (not the same version) - no complaints.
	10:03pm Erica: Hi Testifiers.
	10:04pm Funky16Corners: What was the other one, Stones?
	10:04pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	10:04pm Jeff Ash: Greetings, everyone, from Wisconsin! It's getting to be the time of year when we can really use the heat brought by Larry!
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: coasters
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: @C - Coasters version is great!
	10:06pm chresti: I haven’t heard it in....since I had a cassette player!
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: Back in the day!
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: yeah it is! Alvin's ain't 1/2 bad neither!
	10:09pm chresti: This song too- slowed down!
	10:09pm northguineahills: Hells and Los Larry!
	10:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: chresti i'd consider giving you one if we weren't >2000 miles away from each-other. i just scored 2 cassette decks on sunday from my father's house (& a few dozen unopened tdks!) they're old but barely used. probably the most they might need would be belts. i wont be able to try them out for another week or more.
	10:12pm coelacanth∅: (sometimes barely used is not a good thing; as with film cameras, where the seals rot and crumble if it doesn't get used enough)
	10:13pm Franco Twinkie: I like the small sound of these records. Like maybe they recorded them at the dry cleaners after hours.
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, with cassette decks and turntables the belts warp and dry out
	10:13pm still b/p: Some singers shouldn't try "Fever.". Some singers should. Alvin's right on it. Maybe they should campaign, get nominated and we'll decide on election days.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco! it was 1964/65. A dry cleaners was not out of the question.
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: Franco and hopefully nobody put their sneakers in the dryer while recording was going on.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: hey SBP! Alvin was a master. Dr John called him a "real singer".
	10:15pm still b/p: @ Franco -- And then there's confusion around the question: What was the date of that pressing?
	10:15pm Franco Twinkie: I wasn't kidding Larry. Intimate is probably more on the dime.
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: sb/p haha!
	10:17pm coelacanth∅: oh my my! great version!
	10:17pm Parq: Got to admit, the name Alvin Robinson is a whole new one on me. This should be cool!
	10:18pm Franco Twinkie: Alvin might have been singing into a knit sweater.
	10:18pm chresti: Like a flag on a pole
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	10:20pm chresti: Haha still b/p-special election
	10:21pm Parq: Some Ray Charles influence showing here, yeah?
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: i confess ignorance as well. (i'd heard that version of searchin' but didn't know who it was) glad to make Alvin's acquaintance. (a little late... rest in peace)
	10:21pm chresti: Jumping jack flash
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: @Parq - Def some Ray Charles in there
	10:22pm Franco Twinkie: The stuff on Red Bird and Tiger is perfect for late night Saturday. Must locate.
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: chresti i hear that
	10:24pm Franco Twinkie: The clouds might be parting. Maybe.
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: oh of course! "Al Robinson"! definitely seen that name looking into personnel on others' tracks. (ie Dr.John)
	10:26pm chresti: Very much New Orleans sound
	10:27pm Franco Twinkie: Dr. John talks about the early L.A. days in his book Hoodoo Moon. Funny and Scary.
	10:27pm chresti: Coel yeah- the guitar
	10:27pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry for the education.
	10:28pm Franco Twinkie: James Booker!
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: that git is killer! i can see why Jimi had to do that song.
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Dr John's stories in that book teeter between hilarious and terrifying. I wish they were more lucid (for historical reasons) but they're great all the same
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: @C - You're welcome. That's why I'm here (or anywhere for that matter)
	10:35pm Erica: Jelly Bread sounds like the sequel to Green Onions.
	10:36pm Erica: But seriously, jelly bread isn't as good without peanut butter.
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: There was a lot of that going on. I love to listen to the 60s satellite survey on Sirius. They'll do the Top 40 from a particular week and you can hear all kinds of artists ripping themselves off to try and cash in on their previous hit
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: When I lived in Pasadena there was this soul food restaurant right up the street called V&O Foods ( Very and Original, I'm not kidding) One day when I went in to get some smothered chicken and greens, this woman with a rag on her head who was holding a big pot looked me up and down and said "So, you like this food,huh?" I sheepishly said yeah. She considered me for a a few seconds and then said "I bet you like burritos too!"What could I say, but "You bet!" Sadly, the place turned into a real crappy thrift store.
	10:42pm Erica: Haha 7-11 released a 45.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: We had (and lost) a really good soul food place in Asbury Park a few years back. I learned to make really good collard greens at home, though, and do a pretty nice shrimp and grits, too
	10:42pm Erica: 7-11 stores were the inspiration for the Kwik-E-Mart in the Simpsons.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist used this in the famous Brainfreeze mix
	10:43pm chresti: This is great
	10:43pm chresti: 7-11
	10:44pm Erica: Cool fact Larry.
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: Leon rest in peace
	10:45pm chresti: We’ve got Taiwanese soul food. Here in the San Gabriel valley
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: That sounds interesting!
	10:46pm Franco Twinkie: Apparently Leon Russell would keep frozen plates of bacon and eggs in his freezer so the musicians he was working with could just pop one in the oven if they need a snack.
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: That sounds like something he'd do. I just saw an interview with Rita Coolidge where she said that when she was his girlfriend she was cooking for him and and his friends 24/7.
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: well, i just ate collards with mustards & turnip greens, so i like "soul food" i guess. i'm a good cook (if i do say so myself...which i am doing!) ...but i don't eat pigs and birds and such, so no bacon grease in there.
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: I load my greens up with bacon. Gotta get that smoky flavor (or you could use a hamhock instead)
	10:51pm Franco Twinkie: I heard Arthur Lee would get the frozen breakfast plates out of freezer just to show people while he was cracking up.
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: haha i love that!
	10:52pm chresti: Hotdog Batman
	10:53pm still b/p: I loathed mashed potatoes as a kid, forced to eat at least a few awful bites. I remember missing part of annual televised Wizard of Oz while I suffered over the mashed potatoes under the rules of a stubborn insistent Mom. Now, I luz me some good mashed taters with garlic, etc. Nobody...nobody...asked for my mashed potato history, but there it is. Thank you for reading.
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: Larry i do love me some smoked food...salmon, trout, almonds, gouda...
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: I was explaining to my sons how hot lunch in the 60s and 70s gave me a taste for instant mashed potatoes (which in my Mom's house was sacrilege).
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: BTW is anyone gets heart palpitations from this Lonnie Mack 45 I take full responsibility
	10:55pm Erica: Mashed potatoes vary in taste to me still b/p. If mixed well with enough milk and butter or margarine, they taste pretty good.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: sb/p i think i heard Dee Dee Sharp ask.
	10:56pm Erica: By the way I don't like the instant mashed potatoes because they taste strange and not like real potatoes. You can tell they're powdered.
	10:57pm chresti: I was that way with hotdogs, as a kid. I would ditch them out the back door
	10:57pm chresti: @still b/p
	10:59pm still b/p: Look. This face says, "Oh, there, there. Yes, tell me about the ghosts of mashed past." images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: i grew up with "hungry jack" mashed potatoes - except on holidays. -with butter, or much more often margerine. i liked them! i'm sure i wouldn't like them now; but i love the once-every-few-years real mashed potatoes. (with butter)
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: Once, I was not allowed to watch The Monkees until I finished my squash. I refused. My father finally relented when Laugh-in was half over. I missed the Holy Modal Rounders. Whaaa!!
	11:00pm Parq: Was out walking by dog (to whom everything is soul food, even things that aren't strictly speaking edible), so missed most of that set, sorry to say, but was glad to catch "Knife and a Fork". Great old song.
	11:02pm chresti: Shit on a shingle was a problem with me
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: we were required to eat everything on our plates (and my mother doled out the food on our plates) we were not allowed to leave the table until we'd finished, and the dog was not allowed in the dining room while we ate! i literally almost threw up a few times eating lima beans, kidney stew, chicken liver, brussel sprouts...
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: ...rutabaga.
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: I LOVE TURNIPS!!!
	11:04pm Dean: I don't get limited palates. I eagerly ate everything. Might a been a bit queasy about avocados, but I soon learned to enjoy them. I really don't understand picky eaters (my kids, for instance).
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: i like turnips now. and brussel sprouts, and i tolerate lima beans in things.
	11:05pm Dean: People complain about "texture," but I'm afraid everything has texture. That's sorta the point.
	11:06pm Funky16Corners: I grew up the oldest of five kids with my Dad making a public school teacher's salary. Ate a lot of sspaghetti, pancakes, fish sticks and the like. Still love them all.
	11:06pm Erica: Yeah I was always a picky eater (still am). My mom was nice when it came to food. She usually serves me what I do eat because seriously, serving kids what they won't eat is a waste of food.
	11:06pm Funky16Corners: I make a mean roasted brussell sprouts with apples, bacon and craisins
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: I would throw stuff I didn't want to eat out the kitchen door over the neighbors fence .
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: the problem was that my mother bought frozen vegetables and then boiled them. served with nothing but the salt and pepper on the table. that's brusselsprouticide. (also supermarket brand mixed vegetables-icide...etc.)
	11:07pm Erica: Also when I think of "eat everything on my plate" I think of "eat it, ALL of it." It's a reference to a cartoon called Danny Phantom.
	11:07pm Dean: OTOH, I also firmly believe that people should eat what they want. We'll be a healthier population if we did. Put another way, I can't believe that many people really prefer McDonald's.
	11:08pm chresti: Not getting desert, was in store for us if we didn’t eat our food- not enforced that harshly-
	11:08pm Dean: Er, ^if we do.
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: The only thing from my childhood that I won't eat/serve is waxed beans. Gross,
	11:08pm still b/p: Wasn't exposed to much variety until I was an adult. I don't think a clove of garlic ever crossed the threshold of childhood home. Mom was no example o adventurous eating. Dad would eat mushy vegetables, but I don't think she's had five servings in her life, never mind daily. Her Thanksgiving plate -- despite the range of choices set out -- is ALWAYS a spare composition in white and tan. But....she'll be ninety next month.
	11:10pm Funky16Corners: Before she went back to work (when I was in high school) my Mom was the queen of casseroles and lasagna. All delicious. I remember picking at cold lasagna in the refrigerator when I was a kid.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: Larry i cannot tell you how excited i was on the rare occasion that we were served pancakes, fish sticks or spaghetti.
	11:11pm Erica: Who eats Beef Stew for breakfast? Gross!
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: Obie Plenty and his family, apparently.
	11:12pm coelacanth∅: my mother made lasagna once, if i'm not mistaken. "too much work".
	11:12pm northguineahills: My favorite soul food place I loved as an undergrad closed weeks after I moved back here. Haven't found a suitable replacement since. @chresti: I love SOS!
	11:13pm Funky16Corners: Though, to be perfectly honest, when I was a bachelor, I would eat all kinds of incongruous stuff for breakfast. I also worked late at night, so I was off kilter.
	11:14pm Dean: My mom's lasagna was wonderful, too. I now make a pretty remarkable one--just did this last weekend--and my 7YO will gobble it up.
	11:14pm still b/p: Take a morning dip! There's a lake of stew And of whiskey, too You can paddle all around 'em In a big canoe In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
	11:14pm Franco Twinkie: My mom is getting me back for all the horrible behavior that I subjected her involving food as a child....In the very same kitchen! Oh man, I could tell you stories.
	11:15pm Dean: Unlike my mom, I used to make my own pasta, too. But those days are mostly behind me. Can't manage it in the space we have and with the kids and kitty cat running around.
	11:17pm Funky16Corners: My Mom stopped cooking like that when we all moved out. I think we broke her. Now she concentrates on what crazy thing she's going to do to the sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving.
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, do you go to that place on Forth St. behind behind Pete's for Ravioli?
	11:19pm Dean: That place, Franco, is no more. Cafe Rouge became something else and now it's the larger Tacubaya. Or do you mean the market there? No. Way too expensive, and anyway, my pasta is better. I'm fine with boxed stuff.
	11:19pm Dean: That Peet's, by the way, is where I did a serious amount of my reading for law school.
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: i'm very Thankful that my mother forced us to eat whatever she served - even though it wasn't by any intelligent upbringing decision she'd made. the only exception to that is that i kept telling her eggplant made my mouth hurt but she made me eat it anyway.
	11:21pm coelacanth∅: ... although it's in my nature enough that i probably would've grown up to be an adventurous eater anyway.
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: Man oh man...after my Mom went back to work and y father started cooking....good gravy. One of the most talented people I've ever known with no talent whatsoever for cooking
	11:23pm Dean: Funny, my mom did 98% of the cooking, which I obviously loved, but my dad used to do one or two things--an onion cucumber salad, scrambled eggs with bread, etc.--and those are what inspired me to start cooking on my own. Gender connection, obviously.
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: We made hot dogs tonight, but we served them with our own homemade sauerkraut, so there's that.
	11:23pm Franco Twinkie: Dean do you ever go to Spengers for clam chowder?
	11:23pm Erica: We had hotdogs tonight too Larry.
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: my father was a good cook; though he did tend to go overboard when he discovered something new. (like wine in soup)
	11:24pm Dean: Hot dogs with sauerkraut -- never mind hot dogs with homemade sauerkraut -- do not call for apology! Spengers closed about a week ago. Berkeley is tanking. I've only been there for a martini.
	11:25pm chresti: My parents had the burl Ives version of big rock candy mountain
	11:26pm Dean: I have no doubt whatsoever that the Bay Area's much-touted food scene is hugely overblown. There is no question in my mind about the superiority of restaurants in the LA area. Up here cooking is all so precious. Down there -- with exceptions like Suzanne Goin -- you'll find hearty, well prepared food.
	11:27pm Franco Twinkie: I love hot dogs and suaerkraut! I usually use a flour tortilla instead of a bun.
	11:28pm Dean: Just this week, I've spent an hour or two trying to find a respectable Italian restaurant in SF, no kidding. A rare species.
	11:28pm chresti: Me and my parents went to Peet’s on chestnut and shattuck-I think in the late seventies early eighties
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: my mom was, probably still is capable; but she really didn't care that much. when i was 17 she took a course in "chinese cooking" with our new downstairs neighbor. our tradition was we could have whatever we wanted for birthday dinners, and i'd become a vegetarian the year before. i said i want chinese food, and man! she did shine! what a spread - and what a party! all vegetarian; all delicious....like 15 different things they made.
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: @C - That sounds really good! BTW The sauerkraut was our first foray into pickling. We may move on to kimchi next.
	11:30pm Franco Twinkie: Goddamnit to hell, Dean. I am so sad about what you just said. Starting now, I hate Berkeley.
	11:30pm Dean: I suspect you mean Vine and Walnut, chresti, the original store. It's now operated by some remote investor totally independent of Al Peet's family. And, naturally, the coffee sucks.
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: i love sauerkraut and kim chi. sometimes i eat just brown rice with kim chi. mmm.
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: Kimchi is one of my favorite things. I've been to places that do kimchi fried rice.
	11:33pm Dean: Yep, Spenger's and Brennan's both recently and suddenly closed. Fun places, gone. On the upside, I not long ago returned to Cesar on Shattuck, next door to Chez Panisse, with low expectations. I hadn't been there for years, and my previous couple of experiences involved a dish I regard as among the top two or three I've ever had, "matrimonios," grilled anchovies on toasted bread with aioli. It remains spectacular. I could eat it for breakfast.
	11:33pm northguineahills: I have papaya kimchi in the fridge right now!
	11:34pm Funky16Corners: Ooooh that sounds delicious!
	11:35pm Dean: 'nother top dish: Joachim Splichal's potato lasagna at the original Patina on Melrose.
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: it really does work with an array of foods.
	11:37pm northguineahills: I was outside watering the garden and missed CSC Funk Band, a good friend of mine and WFMU Gig Talk lad is in that!
	11:37pm Dean: And still another memorable dish, a Porterhouse at Tanino in Westwood ten or fifteen years aog.
	11:37pm Dean: a-g-o
	11:38pm chresti: Walnut! That’s it She’s a brick house in there
	11:38pm still b/p: I ate sauerkraut and Canadian bacon on a pizza in Iowa -- the house special at Happy Joe's -- in 1979. It was good. But I don't think I've eaten sauerkraut since. Nobody asked fgor my sauerkraut history, but...(find a sauerkraut song singer, NOW, coel!).
	11:40pm Erica: My brother would love to hang out with you guys. All HE talks about is food too. Haha! He eats more than I can.
	11:41pm doctorjazz: Here for the home stretch!
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: Today I got lunch for my mom and myself at Northgate, a mexican supermarket that occupies the Thriftymart of my childhood. Man, what a place! Mole negro, chicken tinga, nopales, chile rellanos and home made tortillas. All wonderful, and my mom just complained. Payback time.
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	11:41pm chresti: My mom loved chez pannise- she got into exploring restaurants to try when they moved up there
	11:42pm Erica: Hi docjazz! We were discussing food.
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: The fam and I were out in Lancaster, PA this past weekend and had some arepas that would change your life.
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: sb/p! uh...uh - frank Zappa?!
	11:43pm Dean: It's still a cozy space, chresti, but they added this weird orthogonal wing to the main space. My kid's orthodontist is half a block down the street, so I'm in the vicinity now and then. Good wine shop across the street in the old water services building. Franco, I love Northgate! I visit the one in La Habra, near my mom. It's brand new, utterly amazing selection and prices. Chez Panisse is resting on its laurels these days, much as so many new restaurants are devoting way more time to image than to food. It's sad.
	11:43pm Dean: ^First paragraph above refers to Peet's at Walnut and Vine.
	11:44pm northguineahills: I'll eat anything pickled or fermented, including hakarl!
	11:45pm coelacanth∅: i not infrequently make a small meal of raw pecans and sauerkraut...for the record.
	11:45pm coelacanth∅: (maybe i should write a song about that)
	11:46pm chresti: My sauerkraut history is similar to my early hot dog history
	11:47pm Dean: For me, cabbage is a desert island food. If I could only have one, cabbage would be on the short list.
	11:47pm coelacanth∅: i love a veggie dog with sauerkraut and chipotlé mayo. i can't resist it sometimes! -with some swiss cheese melted on is even better.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: Cabbage is one of the great underrated foods. We always make extra when we have corned beef because everyone loves it so much.
	11:49pm Erica: Since everyone is talking about their favorite foods, let me add that I love tacos, but I prefer them mild. Spicy gives me the runs. Just saying.
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, I only went to that Patina once. It was an ex-girlfriends birthday. Although I knew the food was top tier, my heart wasn't into it. Why? beats me. I love throwing around money when it comes to food, but some times you just miss the mark.
	11:51pm doctorjazz: Food talk. .. took my mother in law out for her 102nd birthday this weekend (I did post this elsewhere, apologies if you already read it). What food does she eat to keep going this long? Kosher Deli... Tongue sandwich, kishka (stuffed derma, French fries, a cardiologist nightmare).
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: MMmmmmmm, deli! Gimme all of the half sour pickles!
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: i like cabbage but i really really like other foods in the same (brassica) family...bok choy, broccoli, nappa. occasionally mustards and turnips and collards. - (full circle) -
	11:53pm doctorjazz: Lox Stock And Deli, to be precise (great half sour pickes, BTW...)
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, that water service building used to be East Bay Mud, where Chrestie's dad worked!
	11:54pm doctorjazz: Pretty good stuffed cabbage as well
	11:55pm chresti: I like raw cabbage with a little oil and vinegar-black pepper
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - In East Brunswick?
	11:55pm Dean: I've been to Patina a few times, though not since Splichal sold his interest. I adore(d) the place. A good deli is a treasure. EBMUD?! I pay those sons of bitches every couple months.
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: i like raw cabbage in cole slaw...if it's good cole slaw - which is rare.
	11:56pm doctorjazz: Yup, great place, Larry!
	11:58pm Dean: I agree, coel, but I think cole slaw is generally good and sometimes exquisite.
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Before we had kids, and lived up in Middlesex County my wife and I used to go there all the time
	11:59pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks for the picnic, Larry.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: there's a café where i live that occasionally has exquisite cole slaw. it's true though i'll take just okay cole slaw as well.
	11:59pm chresti: Thanks Larry! for the excellent feast !
	11:59pm Erica: The show is over and you're still talking about food. Haha! Goodnight y'all! And enjoy your cabbages, pickles and cole slaw while I get ready for bed.
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure! Thanks for listening Franco!
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Nite Chresti!
	12:00am doctorjazz: Like my Cole slaw not too mayonnaise-y, more vinegary
	12:00am Dean: Berkeley has a Lox, Stock & Bagel. Never been there.
	12:00am coelacanth∅: i wonder if the 'stones tried to sue Rex for this "satisfaction" rif
	12:00am Funky16Corners: I think the Stones would have been very busy chasing stuff like that down!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! Great program always!
	12:01am Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	12:01am doctorjazz: 1962...would've predated the Stones.
	12:01am coelacanth∅: -and hopefully it would turn around and bite them if they dared!
	12:01am doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	12:02am coelacanth∅: oh, dr.j i was just going by the 1966 date.
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Nite Doc!
	12:03am Funky16Corners: 1966 is correct.

Listener comments!
	10:02pm chresti: Ooh! Down home!!! Girl !!!
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: hey Larry and future funksters
	10:03pm Cal Zone!: Rock me gently! ;)
	10:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Chresti! C!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: 2nd time in 24 hours hearing this song. (not the same version) - no complaints.
	10:03pm Erica: Hi Testifiers.
	10:04pm Funky16Corners: What was the other one, Stones?
	10:04pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	10:04pm Jeff Ash: Greetings, everyone, from Wisconsin! It's getting to be the time of year when we can really use the heat brought by Larry!
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: coasters
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: @C - Coasters version is great!
	10:06pm chresti: I haven’t heard it in....since I had a cassette player!
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: Back in the day!
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: yeah it is! Alvin's ain't 1/2 bad neither!
	10:09pm chresti: This song too- slowed down!
	10:09pm northguineahills: Hells and Los Larry!
	10:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: chresti i'd consider giving you one if we weren't >2000 miles away from each-other. i just scored 2 cassette decks on sunday from my father's house (& a few dozen unopened tdks!) they're old but barely used. probably the most they might need would be belts. i wont be able to try them out for another week or more.
	10:12pm coelacanth∅: (sometimes barely used is not a good thing; as with film cameras, where the seals rot and crumble if it doesn't get used enough)
	10:13pm Franco Twinkie: I like the small sound of these records. Like maybe they recorded them at the dry cleaners after hours.
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, with cassette decks and turntables the belts warp and dry out
	10:13pm still b/p: Some singers shouldn't try "Fever.". Some singers should. Alvin's right on it. Maybe they should campaign, get nominated and we'll decide on election days.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco! it was 1964/65. A dry cleaners was not out of the question.
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: Franco and hopefully nobody put their sneakers in the dryer while recording was going on.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: hey SBP! Alvin was a master. Dr John called him a "real singer".
	10:15pm still b/p: @ Franco -- And then there's confusion around the question: What was the date of that pressing?
	10:15pm Franco Twinkie: I wasn't kidding Larry. Intimate is probably more on the dime.
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: sb/p haha!
	10:17pm coelacanth∅: oh my my! great version!
	10:17pm Parq: Got to admit, the name Alvin Robinson is a whole new one on me. This should be cool!
	10:18pm Franco Twinkie: Alvin might have been singing into a knit sweater.
	10:18pm chresti: Like a flag on a pole
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	10:20pm chresti: Haha still b/p-special election
	10:21pm Parq: Some Ray Charles influence showing here, yeah?
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: i confess ignorance as well. (i'd heard that version of searchin' but didn't know who it was) glad to make Alvin's acquaintance. (a little late... rest in peace)
	10:21pm chresti: Jumping jack flash
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: @Parq - Def some Ray Charles in there
	10:22pm Franco Twinkie: The stuff on Red Bird and Tiger is perfect for late night Saturday. Must locate.
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: chresti i hear that
	10:24pm Franco Twinkie: The clouds might be parting. Maybe.
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: oh of course! "Al Robinson"! definitely seen that name looking into personnel on others' tracks. (ie Dr.John)
	10:26pm chresti: Very much New Orleans sound
	10:27pm Franco Twinkie: Dr. John talks about the early L.A. days in his book Hoodoo Moon. Funny and Scary.
	10:27pm chresti: Coel yeah- the guitar
	10:27pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry for the education.
	10:28pm Franco Twinkie: James Booker!
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: that git is killer! i can see why Jimi had to do that song.
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Dr John's stories in that book teeter between hilarious and terrifying. I wish they were more lucid (for historical reasons) but they're great all the same
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: @C - You're welcome. That's why I'm here (or anywhere for that matter)
	10:35pm Erica: Jelly Bread sounds like the sequel to Green Onions.
	10:36pm Erica: But seriously, jelly bread isn't as good without peanut butter.
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: There was a lot of that going on. I love to listen to the 60s satellite survey on Sirius. They'll do the Top 40 from a particular week and you can hear all kinds of artists ripping themselves off to try and cash in on their previous hit
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: When I lived in Pasadena there was this soul food restaurant right up the street called V&O Foods ( Very and Original, I'm not kidding) One day when I went in to get some smothered chicken and greens, this woman with a rag on her head who was holding a big pot looked me up and down and said "So, you like this food,huh?" I sheepishly said yeah. She considered me for a a few seconds and then said "I bet you like burritos too!"What could I say, but "You bet!" Sadly, the place turned into a real crappy thrift store.
	10:42pm Erica: Haha 7-11 released a 45.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: We had (and lost) a really good soul food place in Asbury Park a few years back. I learned to make really good collard greens at home, though, and do a pretty nice shrimp and grits, too
	10:42pm Erica: 7-11 stores were the inspiration for the Kwik-E-Mart in the Simpsons.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist used this in the famous Brainfreeze mix
	10:43pm chresti: This is great
	10:43pm chresti: 7-11
	10:44pm Erica: Cool fact Larry.
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: Leon rest in peace
	10:45pm chresti: We’ve got Taiwanese soul food. Here in the San Gabriel valley
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: That sounds interesting!
	10:46pm Franco Twinkie: Apparently Leon Russell would keep frozen plates of bacon and eggs in his freezer so the musicians he was working with could just pop one in the oven if they need a snack.
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: That sounds like something he'd do. I just saw an interview with Rita Coolidge where she said that when she was his girlfriend she was cooking for him and and his friends 24/7.
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: well, i just ate collards with mustards & turnip greens, so i like "soul food" i guess. i'm a good cook (if i do say so myself...which i am doing!) ...but i don't eat pigs and birds and such, so no bacon grease in there.
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: I load my greens up with bacon. Gotta get that smoky flavor (or you could use a hamhock instead)
	10:51pm Franco Twinkie: I heard Arthur Lee would get the frozen breakfast plates out of freezer just to show people while he was cracking up.
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: haha i love that!
	10:52pm chresti: Hotdog Batman
	10:53pm still b/p: I loathed mashed potatoes as a kid, forced to eat at least a few awful bites. I remember missing part of annual televised Wizard of Oz while I suffered over the mashed potatoes under the rules of a stubborn insistent Mom. Now, I luz me some good mashed taters with garlic, etc. Nobody...nobody...asked for my mashed potato history, but there it is. Thank you for reading.
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: Larry i do love me some smoked food...salmon, trout, almonds, gouda...
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: I was explaining to my sons how hot lunch in the 60s and 70s gave me a taste for instant mashed potatoes (which in my Mom's house was sacrilege).
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: BTW is anyone gets heart palpitations from this Lonnie Mack 45 I take full responsibility
	10:55pm Erica: Mashed potatoes vary in taste to me still b/p. If mixed well with enough milk and butter or margarine, they taste pretty good.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: sb/p i think i heard Dee Dee Sharp ask.
	10:56pm Erica: By the way I don't like the instant mashed potatoes because they taste strange and not like real potatoes. You can tell they're powdered.
	10:57pm chresti: I was that way with hotdogs, as a kid. I would ditch them out the back door
	10:57pm chresti: @still b/p
	10:59pm still b/p: Look. This face says, "Oh, there, there. Yes, tell me about the ghosts of mashed past." images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: i grew up with "hungry jack" mashed potatoes - except on holidays. -with butter, or much more often margerine. i liked them! i'm sure i wouldn't like them now; but i love the once-every-few-years real mashed potatoes. (with butter)
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: Once, I was not allowed to watch The Monkees until I finished my squash. I refused. My father finally relented when Laugh-in was half over. I missed the Holy Modal Rounders. Whaaa!!
	11:00pm Parq: Was out walking by dog (to whom everything is soul food, even things that aren't strictly speaking edible), so missed most of that set, sorry to say, but was glad to catch "Knife and a Fork". Great old song.
	11:02pm chresti: Shit on a shingle was a problem with me
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: we were required to eat everything on our plates (and my mother doled out the food on our plates) we were not allowed to leave the table until we'd finished, and the dog was not allowed in the dining room while we ate! i literally almost threw up a few times eating lima beans, kidney stew, chicken liver, brussel sprouts...
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: ...rutabaga.
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: I LOVE TURNIPS!!!
	11:04pm Dean: I don't get limited palates. I eagerly ate everything. Might a been a bit queasy about avocados, but I soon learned to enjoy them. I really don't understand picky eaters (my kids, for instance).
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: i like turnips now. and brussel sprouts, and i tolerate lima beans in things.
	11:05pm Dean: People complain about "texture," but I'm afraid everything has texture. That's sorta the point.
	11:06pm Funky16Corners: I grew up the oldest of five kids with my Dad making a public school teacher's salary. Ate a lot of sspaghetti, pancakes, fish sticks and the like. Still love them all.
	11:06pm Erica: Yeah I was always a picky eater (still am). My mom was nice when it came to food. She usually serves me what I do eat because seriously, serving kids what they won't eat is a waste of food.
	11:06pm Funky16Corners: I make a mean roasted brussell sprouts with apples, bacon and craisins
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: I would throw stuff I didn't want to eat out the kitchen door over the neighbors fence .
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: the problem was that my mother bought frozen vegetables and then boiled them. served with nothing but the salt and pepper on the table. that's brusselsprouticide. (also supermarket brand mixed vegetables-icide...etc.)
	11:07pm Erica: Also when I think of "eat everything on my plate" I think of "eat it, ALL of it." It's a reference to a cartoon called Danny Phantom.
	11:07pm Dean: OTOH, I also firmly believe that people should eat what they want. We'll be a healthier population if we did. Put another way, I can't believe that many people really prefer McDonald's.
	11:08pm chresti: Not getting desert, was in store for us if we didn’t eat our food- not enforced that harshly-
	11:08pm Dean: Er, ^if we do.
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: The only thing from my childhood that I won't eat/serve is waxed beans. Gross,
	11:08pm still b/p: Wasn't exposed to much variety until I was an adult. I don't think a clove of garlic ever crossed the threshold of childhood home. Mom was no example o adventurous eating. Dad would eat mushy vegetables, but I don't think she's had five servings in her life, never mind daily. Her Thanksgiving plate -- despite the range of choices set out -- is ALWAYS a spare composition in white and tan. But....she'll be ninety next month.
	11:10pm Funky16Corners: Before she went back to work (when I was in high school) my Mom was the queen of casseroles and lasagna. All delicious. I remember picking at cold lasagna in the refrigerator when I was a kid.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: Larry i cannot tell you how excited i was on the rare occasion that we were served pancakes, fish sticks or spaghetti.
	11:11pm Erica: Who eats Beef Stew for breakfast? Gross!
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: Obie Plenty and his family, apparently.
	11:12pm coelacanth∅: my mother made lasagna once, if i'm not mistaken. "too much work".
	11:12pm northguineahills: My favorite soul food place I loved as an undergrad closed weeks after I moved back here. Haven't found a suitable replacement since. @chresti: I love SOS!
	11:13pm Funky16Corners: Though, to be perfectly honest, when I was a bachelor, I would eat all kinds of incongruous stuff for breakfast. I also worked late at night, so I was off kilter.
	11:14pm Dean: My mom's lasagna was wonderful, too. I now make a pretty remarkable one--just did this last weekend--and my 7YO will gobble it up.
	11:14pm still b/p: Take a morning dip! There's a lake of stew And of whiskey, too You can paddle all around 'em In a big canoe In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
	11:14pm Franco Twinkie: My mom is getting me back for all the horrible behavior that I subjected her involving food as a child....In the very same kitchen! Oh man, I could tell you stories.
	11:15pm Dean: Unlike my mom, I used to make my own pasta, too. But those days are mostly behind me. Can't manage it in the space we have and with the kids and kitty cat running around.
	11:17pm Funky16Corners: My Mom stopped cooking like that when we all moved out. I think we broke her. Now she concentrates on what crazy thing she's going to do to the sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving.
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, do you go to that place on Forth St. behind behind Pete's for Ravioli?
	11:19pm Dean: That place, Franco, is no more. Cafe Rouge became something else and now it's the larger Tacubaya. Or do you mean the market there? No. Way too expensive, and anyway, my pasta is better. I'm fine with boxed stuff.
	11:19pm Dean: That Peet's, by the way, is where I did a serious amount of my reading for law school.
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: i'm very Thankful that my mother forced us to eat whatever she served - even though it wasn't by any intelligent upbringing decision she'd made. the only exception to that is that i kept telling her eggplant made my mouth hurt but she made me eat it anyway.
	11:21pm coelacanth∅: ... although it's in my nature enough that i probably would've grown up to be an adventurous eater anyway.
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: Man oh man...after my Mom went back to work and y father started cooking....good gravy. One of the most talented people I've ever known with no talent whatsoever for cooking
	11:23pm Dean: Funny, my mom did 98% of the cooking, which I obviously loved, but my dad used to do one or two things--an onion cucumber salad, scrambled eggs with bread, etc.--and those are what inspired me to start cooking on my own. Gender connection, obviously.
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: We made hot dogs tonight, but we served them with our own homemade sauerkraut, so there's that.
	11:23pm Franco Twinkie: Dean do you ever go to Spengers for clam chowder?
	11:23pm Erica: We had hotdogs tonight too Larry.
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: my father was a good cook; though he did tend to go overboard when he discovered something new. (like wine in soup)
	11:24pm Dean: Hot dogs with sauerkraut -- never mind hot dogs with homemade sauerkraut -- do not call for apology! Spengers closed about a week ago. Berkeley is tanking. I've only been there for a martini.
	11:25pm chresti: My parents had the burl Ives version of big rock candy mountain
	11:26pm Dean: I have no doubt whatsoever that the Bay Area's much-touted food scene is hugely overblown. There is no question in my mind about the superiority of restaurants in the LA area. Up here cooking is all so precious. Down there -- with exceptions like Suzanne Goin -- you'll find hearty, well prepared food.
	11:27pm Franco Twinkie: I love hot dogs and suaerkraut! I usually use a flour tortilla instead of a bun.
	11:28pm Dean: Just this week, I've spent an hour or two trying to find a respectable Italian restaurant in SF, no kidding. A rare species.
	11:28pm chresti: Me and my parents went to Peet’s on chestnut and shattuck-I think in the late seventies early eighties
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: my mom was, probably still is capable; but she really didn't care that much. when i was 17 she took a course in "chinese cooking" with our new downstairs neighbor. our tradition was we could have whatever we wanted for birthday dinners, and i'd become a vegetarian the year before. i said i want chinese food, and man! she did shine! what a spread - and what a party! all vegetarian; all delicious....like 15 different things they made.
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: @C - That sounds really good! BTW The sauerkraut was our first foray into pickling. We may move on to kimchi next.
	11:30pm Franco Twinkie: Goddamnit to hell, Dean. I am so sad about what you just said. Starting now, I hate Berkeley.
	11:30pm Dean: I suspect you mean Vine and Walnut, chresti, the original store. It's now operated by some remote investor totally independent of Al Peet's family. And, naturally, the coffee sucks.
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: i love sauerkraut and kim chi. sometimes i eat just brown rice with kim chi. mmm.
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: Kimchi is one of my favorite things. I've been to places that do kimchi fried rice.
	11:33pm Dean: Yep, Spenger's and Brennan's both recently and suddenly closed. Fun places, gone. On the upside, I not long ago returned to Cesar on Shattuck, next door to Chez Panisse, with low expectations. I hadn't been there for years, and my previous couple of experiences involved a dish I regard as among the top two or three I've ever had, "matrimonios," grilled anchovies on toasted bread with aioli. It remains spectacular. I could eat it for breakfast.
	11:33pm northguineahills: I have papaya kimchi in the fridge right now!
	11:34pm Funky16Corners: Ooooh that sounds delicious!
	11:35pm Dean: 'nother top dish: Joachim Splichal's potato lasagna at the original Patina on Melrose.
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: it really does work with an array of foods.
	11:37pm northguineahills: I was outside watering the garden and missed CSC Funk Band, a good friend of mine and WFMU Gig Talk lad is in that!
	11:37pm Dean: And still another memorable dish, a Porterhouse at Tanino in Westwood ten or fifteen years aog.
	11:37pm Dean: a-g-o
	11:38pm chresti: Walnut! That’s it She’s a brick house in there
	11:38pm still b/p: I ate sauerkraut and Canadian bacon on a pizza in Iowa -- the house special at Happy Joe's -- in 1979. It was good. But I don't think I've eaten sauerkraut since. Nobody asked fgor my sauerkraut history, but...(find a sauerkraut song singer, NOW, coel!).
	11:40pm Erica: My brother would love to hang out with you guys. All HE talks about is food too. Haha! He eats more than I can.
	11:41pm doctorjazz: Here for the home stretch!
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: Today I got lunch for my mom and myself at Northgate, a mexican supermarket that occupies the Thriftymart of my childhood. Man, what a place! Mole negro, chicken tinga, nopales, chile rellanos and home made tortillas. All wonderful, and my mom just complained. Payback time.
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	11:41pm chresti: My mom loved chez pannise- she got into exploring restaurants to try when they moved up there
	11:42pm Erica: Hi docjazz! We were discussing food.
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: The fam and I were out in Lancaster, PA this past weekend and had some arepas that would change your life.
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: sb/p! uh...uh - frank Zappa?!
	11:43pm Dean: It's still a cozy space, chresti, but they added this weird orthogonal wing to the main space. My kid's orthodontist is half a block down the street, so I'm in the vicinity now and then. Good wine shop across the street in the old water services building. Franco, I love Northgate! I visit the one in La Habra, near my mom. It's brand new, utterly amazing selection and prices. Chez Panisse is resting on its laurels these days, much as so many new restaurants are devoting way more time to image than to food. It's sad.
	11:43pm Dean: ^First paragraph above refers to Peet's at Walnut and Vine.
	11:44pm northguineahills: I'll eat anything pickled or fermented, including hakarl!
	11:45pm coelacanth∅: i not infrequently make a small meal of raw pecans and sauerkraut...for the record.
	11:45pm coelacanth∅: (maybe i should write a song about that)
	11:46pm chresti: My sauerkraut history is similar to my early hot dog history
	11:47pm Dean: For me, cabbage is a desert island food. If I could only have one, cabbage would be on the short list.
	11:47pm coelacanth∅: i love a veggie dog with sauerkraut and chipotlé mayo. i can't resist it sometimes! -with some swiss cheese melted on is even better.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: Cabbage is one of the great underrated foods. We always make extra when we have corned beef because everyone loves it so much.
	11:49pm Erica: Since everyone is talking about their favorite foods, let me add that I love tacos, but I prefer them mild. Spicy gives me the runs. Just saying.
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, I only went to that Patina once. It was an ex-girlfriends birthday. Although I knew the food was top tier, my heart wasn't into it. Why? beats me. I love throwing around money when it comes to food, but some times you just miss the mark.
	11:51pm doctorjazz: Food talk. .. took my mother in law out for her 102nd birthday this weekend (I did post this elsewhere, apologies if you already read it). What food does she eat to keep going this long? Kosher Deli... Tongue sandwich, kishka (stuffed derma, French fries, a cardiologist nightmare).
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: MMmmmmmm, deli! Gimme all of the half sour pickles!
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: i like cabbage but i really really like other foods in the same (brassica) family...bok choy, broccoli, nappa. occasionally mustards and turnips and collards. - (full circle) -
	11:53pm doctorjazz: Lox Stock And Deli, to be precise (great half sour pickes, BTW...)
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, that water service building used to be East Bay Mud, where Chrestie's dad worked!
	11:54pm doctorjazz: Pretty good stuffed cabbage as well
	11:55pm chresti: I like raw cabbage with a little oil and vinegar-black pepper
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - In East Brunswick?
	11:55pm Dean: I've been to Patina a few times, though not since Splichal sold his interest. I adore(d) the place. A good deli is a treasure. EBMUD?! I pay those sons of bitches every couple months.
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: i like raw cabbage in cole slaw...if it's good cole slaw - which is rare.
	11:56pm doctorjazz: Yup, great place, Larry!
	11:58pm Dean: I agree, coel, but I think cole slaw is generally good and sometimes exquisite.
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Before we had kids, and lived up in Middlesex County my wife and I used to go there all the time
	11:59pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks for the picnic, Larry.
