	10:05pm Matt from New Orleans: Apparently the mopptops put on insane shows but not having lived(or existed on this planet) in Hawaii in the 60s I couldn’t say from personal experience
	10:06pm Doug Schulkind: I will drop a Dougtron bomb, JtotheK. It obliterates all office meetings, unplanned phone calls, work-station drop-by chats, and impromptu huddles in the corner office.
	10:06pm Carmichael: Heya Danny and rockers. My refrigerator is not making ice, but I have the answer: a 24” wrecking bar.
	📉 10:06pm JtotheK: Wow, new one to me Danny! (Though I know nothing about garage rock, local or otherwise.) I like it! Re: WI records - I /finally/ started reading a book about the topic. Volume 1 (of 2) anyway. Having started I ask myself: Why didn't I read this 10-15 years ago?
	📉 10:07pm chresti: Hi Little Danny and cool hot blue flames!
	10:07pm Little Danny: I always get nervous and a little swoony when Doug is here. Such a handsome man, but a little intimidating too
	10:09pm Little Danny: Carmichael: hey bud! Good luck with that! Shit gets cathartic when a wrecking bar gets involved
	10:09pm Little Danny: Hi chresti! New mysterious avatar!
	📉 10:09pm JtotheK: Record Book Talk, cont. There's also a Chicago Soul book (that I don't have) that I realize I should have procured and read 10-15 years ago, too. It's at least on the 'to-read ... soon' list. (I like lists.)
	📉 10:10pm chresti: A fire extinguisher might be cooler@Carmichael
	10:11pm Franco Twinkie: Art museum surf music.
	📉 10:12pm chresti: It's from satellite images of the recent earth quake(s), LD
	10:14pm geezerette: Franco, haha! :)
	10:16pm geezerette: Greetings,Danny and folks.
	📉 10:17pm JtotheK: @Danny - re: Girls Take Over -- doing (brief) internet research, finds this to be on the Pentagon label. I had a 45 by the Ron Scott Combo on that label (Jungle Love) ((which I no longer have but hopefully will find again ... someday ... I have a different 45 by that dude but it's not as good.)) I think it's out of Muskego?
	10:17pm Little Danny: @Franco: I knew you and/or chresti would immediately notice!
	10:17pm Little Danny: Hello geez! Are you still drawing? I love the idea that it's being done
	10:18pm geezerette: Kienholz vs the cops.
	10:18pm geezerette: Hmmmm...bad bees.
	10:18pm Little Danny: Thanks Jason! That's way more than I knew about it - don't know that Ron Scott either
	10:20pm Little Danny: Whoa, chresti, that's trippy
	10:20pm Carmichael: I tried to be low key, but it fought me at every turn. Go big or go home.
	📉 10:21pm JtotheK: Danny if you want to force tears to well up in my eyes, look up the 1 lone listing of Ron Scott "Jungle Love" on popsike (it didn't go for too much) and you'll find 'my' copy that a buddy sold on my behalf. I ask myself: Why???
	10:24pm geezerette: Hey Danny,@10:17: Yes, and it's crazy to do that while listening intensely.
	10:24pm Little Danny: @Jason: Oh I know that feeling my man
	10:25pm Little Danny: @geez: I love it!
	10:26pm geezerette: heh! :)
	10:26pm Little Danny: @geez: Not sure what kind of music you prefer to draw to, but my next set will definitely have a less rocked-out vibe, if that helps
	10:27pm geezerette: We'll see!
	10:28pm northguineahills: Wand, not to be confused w/ Wooden Wand....
	10:28pm geezerette: Thanks for encouragement. :D
	10:29pm doctorjazz: Hey me a bass drum, I need too POUND!!!
	10:29pm doctorjazz: Get me a bass drum...
	10:31pm geezerette: Doc, go, man, go.
	📉 10:31pm chresti: I'm drawing/painting or dancing
	10:31pm Little Danny: classic docjazz autocorrect
	10:32pm geezerette: Yay,Chresti! Twirl time.
	📉 10:32pm chresti: Ha ha
	10:32pm Little Danny: @chresti: awesome!
	📉 10:34pm JtotheK: *Correction to my comment at 10:17 - Mukwonago, not Muskego.
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: Lets hear it for the upside down trash can drummers.
	10:34pm Little Danny: amazing WI place names either way
	10:34pm doctorjazz: Authentic, genuine surface noise!Analog RULES!
	10:37pm Carmichael: Dude, I adore the Sonics. Keep playing, as Fabio says, the “filthy hippie music.”
	10:38pm Carmichael: WAIT! Are those crickets in stereo???
	10:46pm Carmichael: All the good music back then was a combination of spoken word, visual performance and hard rock.
	10:49pm northguineahills: @LD: Your crickets go well w/ the crickets/insect noise in my yard....
	10:49pm Dean: I preferred Kienholz's State Hospital, but in any case, for those of us refining our aesthetic orientations at the time, his stuff was informative.
	10:50pm Little Danny: haha "informative" is damning with faint praise my dude
	10:52pm Little Danny: I hope your crickets' ear-legs perked up, NGH
	10:52pm Franco Twinkie: Kind of I Only Have Eyes For You with a touch of Wulitzer electric piano.
	10:53pm Dean: Well, for me, it wasn't fully "formative," but it surely informed me, gave me information that guided my expectations and observations.
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: My favorite Kienholz is The Green Hotel. You had to twist your neck off to see the whole thing.
	10:55pm northguineahills: Cleaning my back porch, I found that that nesting sparrows the made a hole in my screen, and nested in my watering can left guano everywhere. This will fun to clean (all over my bike and everything else).
	10:57pm Dean: You mean Sollie 17, Franco? https://americanart.si.edu/artwork/sollie-17-68049
	10:57pm Little Danny: Surface noise, ahoy
	10:58pm Little Danny: We have sparrows, too, and I DEFINITELY know that guano. I still love them tho
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah! The guy on the bed! Sollie, I presume.
	📉 11:01pm chresti: Beautiful set!
	11:03pm geezerette: Franco, did you see the excellent retrospective at MOCA? A long time ago, late 80s or early to mid 90s.
	11:04pm Dean: Sollie echoes solo, solitary. What's the 17 about?
	11:04pm Little Danny: thank you chresti!
	11:05pm Dean: Shoot, I was in LA then, working downtown and later in Culver City. Would have loved to see that retrospective.
	11:05pm geezerette: Danny, I could live in this set.
	11:05pm Franco Twinkie: There is a photo essay of Ed Kienholz going into I think it was a TWA flunkies office at LAX and chopping his desk up with an ax. Needless to say, that is no longer a recommended form of behavior at the airport.
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, Geezer, I saw that show.
	📉 11:07pm chresti: the number of the room?
	11:08pm Little Danny: I am glad to hear that, geez! And me too
	📉 11:08pm chresti: 17, that is
	11:10pm Dean: I was thinking address, too, chresti.
	📉 11:11pm chresti: I think it's on the door
	11:11pm geezerette: Dean, it was really wonderful. "Walter Hopps,Hopps,Hopps" was in it. Franco, glad to hear! I often have the feeling that a lot of us have been in the same place, at the same time, perhaps more than once. Physically.
	11:11pm Franco Twinkie: Stalag 17?
	📉 11:13pm chresti: Helter Skelter was a show we saw, too
	11:13pm Franco Twinkie: You know it Geezer! That's is true for both art functions and music.
	11:14pm geezerette: Absolutely!
	11:14pm Dean: I think I only saw a Cindy Sherman show there. I loved it, even though I am not at all fond of photography.
	11:16pm Franco Twinkie: The Cindy Sherman show was great! She is my kind of psycho!
	11:16pm Dean: 1979 my buddies and I took a field trip to Cielo Drive.
	11:17pm Dean: I recall a HUGE print of what at first glance appeared to be vomit. In fact, it was just stuff, odds and ends, maybe some melting ice cream. Gorgeous.
	11:17pm geezerette: Also a great show!
	11:17pm still b/p: The rhythm riff in that Summertime was very similar to Wives and Lovers.
	📉 11:18pm chresti: I wanted to cry yesterday, when it got real hot
	11:18pm Dean: ("Summertime" is one of my least favorite songs of all time. That and "My Favorite Things.")
	11:19pm Ignore Function: Sounding great tonight, LD.
	11:19pm Little Danny: DEAN. C'mon sir.
	11:19pm geezerette: Weather's been brutal, but even hotter in Europe.
	📉 11:19pm JtotheK: As mentioned, I'll give a spin to any 'Summertime' 45 I've not heard before.
	11:20pm Little Danny: Thank you Ignore F, pleasure to see you pop your head up!
	11:20pm geezerette: Dean, haha!
	11:20pm Dean: Truly. I don't like it. It panders to me, or something. (Same goes for "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.")
	11:21pm Franco Twinkie: Today in the Los Angeles Times there was an overview of Mansons greatest hits. Number one - Viola Lee Blues by the Grateful Dead. Charlie says the first time he tripped on acid was at the Avalon Ballroom at a dead show.
	11:22pm Little Danny: My Dean rejecting joy and beauty. Yep, it checks out.
	📉 11:23pm chresti: Just listen to "fish are jumpin' over and over.... My favorite version, since childhood, is Billie Holiday's "Summertime"
	📉 11:23pm JtotheK: I notice also that rule of 'listen to if I've not seen before' applies also to 'Work Song'. (I found a 45 recently of that by Larry Chelsi on the Leopard label -- it's great!)
	11:24pm Franco Twinkie: I LOVE Summer Time Blues by Blue Cheer.
	📉 11:25pm JtotheK: Dean: Would you like summertime if it were set in a different season with different lyrics? (It's mid-Autumn, and the living is not at all easy, in fact it's rather a spot of bother ... etc etc etc.) <---- Contact me, all out there interested in my songwriting capabilities!!!
	11:27pm Dean: LD, I could sit you down and recite to you an almost endless list of examples of musical joy and beauty. Some of it is sentimental, some of it not. But I really feel there are a number of tunes in the canon that don't deserve the credit they've garnered. "Summertime," "My Favorite Things," and "Dock of the Bay" are among those failures. On occasion. somebody will cover them in ways that grab me, but mostly I find them cloying and cheap. No, JtotheK. I find those songs -- their melodies, harmonies, rhythms -- off-putting. Always have.
	📉 11:28pm chresti: I would sing it to my infant son until he could say "please stop"
	📉 11:30pm chresti: You might like Blow Fly's version of Dock of the Bay
	11:31pm Dean: I almost kinda sorta barely might one day like Al Jarreau's Bay.
	11:31pm Franco Twinkie: Ha! Good one, Chresti!
	11:32pm Dean: My point being that if Jarreau has to work to make the tune work, then maybe the tune isn't that good.
	11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Blow Fly. 'Nuff said.
	📉 11:34pm JtotheK: Re: Al Jarreau -- I hope to someday find his 45 on the Raynard label 'Shake Up' b/w 'Room Boom'.
	11:36pm geezerette: And I don't enjoy Al Jarreau, ha-haaa.
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Dean grew up in Southern California, Danny. There is a lot to hate about summertime if you're from here.
	📉 11:38pm chresti: Haha geez.
	11:39pm Little Danny: I know you could, Dean! @11:27 You're still my #1 weirdo tho
	11:39pm geezerette: Chresti, share your love of Billie Holiday though.
	📉 11:42pm JtotheK: Gonna catch the rest while away from comments board. Thanks Danny! Cheers everyone!
	11:42pm Dean: That's true, Franco, but I'm not a weather pussy. I can deal with hot, humid, cold, frozen... Weather is weather. It's what we live in. No, my disdain for Gershwin's so-called song is purely aesthetic. It doesn't deliver. It emotes. It cloys.
	11:42pm Little Danny: thanks Jason!
	11:43pm geezerette: Good night, JtotheK!
	📉 11:44pm chresti: Cheers J
	11:44pm Little Danny: Haha Dean. Peak form this evening. Seriously though I disagree that "Summertime" cloys but that's horse races for ya
	11:47pm Little Danny: And also I appreciate that yours is an unpopular opinion. Respeck
	11:49pm Franco Twinkie: You say that Dean, but when was the last time you spent the whole summer here? It's worse by a factor of 10. Anyway, since when has an artistic construction been obliged to mirror anything remotely like real emotion?
	11:50pm geezerette: Danny, Cool Blue Flame really feels like a favorite neighborhood bar. Beautiful show.
	11:51pm Little Danny: Ah geez thank you my friend. That warms the cockles of my shrunken dead heart!
	11:52pm northguineahills: My favorite version of "summertime" is Kool and the Gang. Thanks LD and friends....
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: A pastoral representation of a universal predicament...summer!
	11:53pm geezerette: Martha, Yma...Yma,Martha.
	📉 11:53pm chresti: What geez said, beautiful! Thanks Danny!
	11:53pm Dean: I can be merely contrarian now and then. (I was banned for a time from Wm. Berger's show for the lapse. RIP Mr. Berger. I miss him.) But here I am not. I don't get the admiration for these tunes. I have spent time in SoCal, Franko, just about every two to four months for the past decade. Are you asking since when has mimesis been one of art's functions? A very long time. A very, very long time.
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: That is a theoretical bias I do not buy.
	11:59pm geezerette: Thanks,Danny! 'Night, pals!
	📉 12:01am chresti: goodnight geez! See yous all later!
	12:02am Little Danny: Thank you again beauties! Love you all! And see you around!

	10:49pm northguineahills: @LD: Your crickets go well w/ the crickets/insect noise in my yard....
	10:49pm Dean: I preferred Kienholz's State Hospital, but in any case, for those of us refining our aesthetic orientations at the time, his stuff was informative.
	10:50pm Little Danny: haha "informative" is damning with faint praise my dude
	10:52pm Little Danny: I hope your crickets' ear-legs perked up, NGH
	10:52pm Franco Twinkie: Kind of I Only Have Eyes For You with a touch of Wulitzer electric piano.
	10:53pm Dean: Well, for me, it wasn't fully "formative," but it surely informed me, gave me information that guided my expectations and observations.
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: My favorite Kienholz is The Green Hotel. You had to twist your neck off to see the whole thing.
	10:55pm northguineahills: Cleaning my back porch, I found that that nesting sparrows the made a hole in my screen, and nested in my watering can left guano everywhere. This will fun to clean (all over my bike and everything else).
	10:57pm Dean: You mean Sollie 17, Franco? https://americanart.si.edu/artwork/sollie-17-68049
	10:57pm Little Danny: Surface noise, ahoy
	10:58pm Little Danny: We have sparrows, too, and I DEFINITELY know that guano. I still love them tho
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah! The guy on the bed! Sollie, I presume.
	📉 11:01pm chresti: Beautiful set!
	11:03pm geezerette: Franco, did you see the excellent retrospective at MOCA? A long time ago, late 80s or early to mid 90s.
	11:04pm Dean: Sollie echoes solo, solitary. What's the 17 about?
	11:04pm Little Danny: thank you chresti!
	11:05pm Dean: Shoot, I was in LA then, working downtown and later in Culver City. Would have loved to see that retrospective.
	11:05pm geezerette: Danny, I could live in this set.
	11:05pm Franco Twinkie: There is a photo essay of Ed Kienholz going into I think it was a TWA flunkies office at LAX and chopping his desk up with an ax. Needless to say, that is no longer a recommended form of behavior at the airport.
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, Geezer, I saw that show.
	📉 11:07pm chresti: the number of the room?
	11:08pm Little Danny: I am glad to hear that, geez! And me too
	📉 11:08pm chresti: 17, that is
	11:10pm Dean: I was thinking address, too, chresti.
	📉 11:11pm chresti: I think it's on the door
	11:11pm geezerette: Dean, it was really wonderful. "Walter Hopps,Hopps,Hopps" was in it. Franco, glad to hear! I often have the feeling that a lot of us have been in the same place, at the same time, perhaps more than once. Physically.
	11:11pm Franco Twinkie: Stalag 17?
	📉 11:13pm chresti: Helter Skelter was a show we saw, too
	11:13pm Franco Twinkie: You know it Geezer! That's is true for both art functions and music.
	11:14pm geezerette: Absolutely!
	11:14pm Dean: I think I only saw a Cindy Sherman show there. I loved it, even though I am not at all fond of photography.
	11:16pm Franco Twinkie: The Cindy Sherman show was great! She is my kind of psycho!
	11:16pm Dean: 1979 my buddies and I took a field trip to Cielo Drive.
	11:17pm Dean: I recall a HUGE print of what at first glance appeared to be vomit. In fact, it was just stuff, odds and ends, maybe some melting ice cream. Gorgeous.
	11:17pm geezerette: Also a great show!
	11:17pm still b/p: The rhythm riff in that Summertime was very similar to Wives and Lovers.
	📉 11:18pm chresti: I wanted to cry yesterday, when it got real hot
	11:18pm Dean: ("Summertime" is one of my least favorite songs of all time. That and "My Favorite Things.")
	11:19pm Ignore Function: Sounding great tonight, LD.
	11:19pm Little Danny: DEAN. C'mon sir.
	11:19pm geezerette: Weather's been brutal, but even hotter in Europe.
	📉 11:19pm JtotheK: As mentioned, I'll give a spin to any 'Summertime' 45 I've not heard before.
	11:20pm Little Danny: Thank you Ignore F, pleasure to see you pop your head up!
	11:20pm geezerette: Dean, haha!
	11:20pm Dean: Truly. I don't like it. It panders to me, or something. (Same goes for "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.")
	11:21pm Franco Twinkie: Today in the Los Angeles Times there was an overview of Mansons greatest hits. Number one - Viola Lee Blues by the Grateful Dead. Charlie says the first time he tripped on acid was at the Avalon Ballroom at a dead show.
	11:22pm Little Danny: My Dean rejecting joy and beauty. Yep, it checks out.
	📉 11:23pm chresti: Just listen to "fish are jumpin' over and over.... My favorite version, since childhood, is Billie Holiday's "Summertime"
	📉 11:23pm JtotheK: I notice also that rule of 'listen to if I've not seen before' applies also to 'Work Song'. (I found a 45 recently of that by Larry Chelsi on the Leopard label -- it's great!)
	11:24pm Franco Twinkie: I LOVE Summer Time Blues by Blue Cheer.
	📉 11:25pm JtotheK: Dean: Would you like summertime if it were set in a different season with different lyrics? (It's mid-Autumn, and the living is not at all easy, in fact it's rather a spot of bother ... etc etc etc.) <---- Contact me, all out there interested in my songwriting capabilities!!!
	11:27pm Dean: LD, I could sit you down and recite to you an almost endless list of examples of musical joy and beauty. Some of it is sentimental, some of it not. But I really feel there are a number of tunes in the canon that don't deserve the credit they've garnered. "Summertime," "My Favorite Things," and "Dock of the Bay" are among those failures. On occasion. somebody will cover them in ways that grab me, but mostly I find them cloying and cheap. No, JtotheK. I find those songs -- their melodies, harmonies, rhythms -- off-putting. Always have.
	📉 11:28pm chresti: I would sing it to my infant son until he could say "please stop"
	📉 11:30pm chresti: You might like Blow Fly's version of Dock of the Bay
	11:31pm Dean: I almost kinda sorta barely might one day like Al Jarreau's Bay.
	11:31pm Franco Twinkie: Ha! Good one, Chresti!
	11:32pm Dean: My point being that if Jarreau has to work to make the tune work, then maybe the tune isn't that good.
	11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Blow Fly. 'Nuff said.
	📉 11:34pm JtotheK: Re: Al Jarreau -- I hope to someday find his 45 on the Raynard label 'Shake Up' b/w 'Room Boom'.
	11:36pm geezerette: And I don't enjoy Al Jarreau, ha-haaa.
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Dean grew up in Southern California, Danny. There is a lot to hate about summertime if you're from here.
	📉 11:38pm chresti: Haha geez.
	11:39pm Little Danny: I know you could, Dean! @11:27 You're still my #1 weirdo tho
	11:39pm geezerette: Chresti, share your love of Billie Holiday though.
	📉 11:42pm JtotheK: Gonna catch the rest while away from comments board. Thanks Danny! Cheers everyone!
	11:42pm Dean: That's true, Franco, but I'm not a weather pussy. I can deal with hot, humid, cold, frozen... Weather is weather. It's what we live in. No, my disdain for Gershwin's so-called song is purely aesthetic. It doesn't deliver. It emotes. It cloys.
	11:42pm Little Danny: thanks Jason!
	11:43pm geezerette: Good night, JtotheK!
	📉 11:44pm chresti: Cheers J
	11:44pm Little Danny: Haha Dean. Peak form this evening. Seriously though I disagree that "Summertime" cloys but that's horse races for ya
	11:47pm Little Danny: And also I appreciate that yours is an unpopular opinion. Respeck
	11:49pm Franco Twinkie: You say that Dean, but when was the last time you spent the whole summer here? It's worse by a factor of 10. Anyway, since when has an artistic construction been obliged to mirror anything remotely like real emotion?
	11:50pm geezerette: Danny, Cool Blue Flame really feels like a favorite neighborhood bar. Beautiful show.
	11:51pm Little Danny: Ah geez thank you my friend. That warms the cockles of my shrunken dead heart!
	11:52pm northguineahills: My favorite version of "summertime" is Kool and the Gang. Thanks LD and friends....
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: A pastoral representation of a universal predicament...summer!
	11:53pm geezerette: Martha, Yma...Yma,Martha.
	📉 11:53pm chresti: What geez said, beautiful! Thanks Danny!
	11:53pm Dean: I can be merely contrarian now and then. (I was banned for a time from Wm. Berger's show for the lapse. RIP Mr. Berger. I miss him.) But here I am not. I don't get the admiration for these tunes. I have spent time in SoCal, Franko, just about every two to four months for the past decade. Are you asking since when has mimesis been one of art's functions? A very long time. A very, very long time.
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: That is a theoretical bias I do not buy.
	11:59pm geezerette: Thanks,Danny! 'Night, pals!
	📉 12:01am chresti: goodnight geez! See yous all later!
	12:02am Little Danny: Thank you again beauties! Love you all! And see you around!
