	10:04pm Dean: Banana Pasqua!
	♥ 10:04pm Julie: Hiya Dean!
	10:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 🐇 Evening ! 🐇
	♥ 10:05pm Julie: Hiya Rev! Did you bring us candy?
	10:06pm Androu B.: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:05 Greets, Rev! 🐰💣♏
	10:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if I knew SharonTate was gonna be here I woulda for sure...
	♥ 10:11pm Roberto: Banana Pasqua a tutti!
	10:11pm Dean: I have a morbid fascination with Cielo Drive. On the ten year anniversary (or whatever one calls it) of the murders, a group of us took a trip to see it. We got as far as the bottom of the long driveway. Nowadays, the house is completely new, and it has been on the market for some ungodly sum.
	♥ 10:11pm Julie: Howdy Roberto!
	♥ 10:14pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Swamp Man" by "Martha Velez" Don't shake hands with Martha.
	♥ 10:15pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Swamp Man" by "Martha Velez" isn't the cover amazing..I wanna see that movie
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Julie @10:15 ...could be a HammerHorror...
	♥ 10:16pm Yvang: ↳ Julie @10:15 Beautiful cover.
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:16 ...unless you're being literal...
	♥ 10:17pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:16 I thought of Kenneth Anger but same basic idea
	10:18pm Mr Fab: Hellos to Julie and the banana bunch.
	10:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Julie @10:17 Ah. Truth is I've never seen that stuff.
	♥ 10:18pm Julie: hiya Mr Fab!
	10:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "I Am A Child (Final Mix from 8-track)" by "Polly ... I missed this. Neil Young cover?
	♥ 10:19pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:18 witchy, atmospheric, same basic idea, less plot
	♥ 10:19pm Julie: ↳ Mr Fab @10:19 Yes! That whole collection is lovely
	10:21pm Dean: I've also spied the LaBianca house, which sits next to a former convent acquired in recent years by Katy Perry.
	♥ 10:21pm Julie: oh the former convent must be cool looking
	10:21pm Mr Fab: ↳ Julie @10:19 wow, 1970 is pretty early. Wonder if that's the first Neil cover.
	10:22pm Dean: Both edifices were impressive, but the convent certainly stands out for the amount of space it occupies.
	♥ 10:22pm Julie: ↳ Mr Fab @10:21 the initial album was 1970, it's a bonus track so possible it was a little later
	♥ 10:24pm MHLee: Ace band
	10:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ Dean @10:21 i've driven past the former site of Spahn Ranch. Just a big empty lot now. No one's built on it. I realize people wouldn't want the bad mojo, but considering LA-area real estate, you'd think someone wouldn't be able to resist a giant hunk of empty real estate.
	10:26pm Mr Fab: true-crime enthusiasts, perhaps. "Live in beautiful MansonLand Estates!"
	♥ 10:27pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @10:26 Read the Manson book from 2019 recently... has a really umm clickbaity title
	10:27pm Dean: Never made it to Spahn Ranch, but I have driven by the gas station in Sylmar off 5 where the "Family" deposited a wallet of one of the victims (or so Bugliosi claimed). Some people do like the bad mojo. Trent Reznor acquired the Cielo Drive home before it was razed. I suppose he's an outlier. I've always found NIN cheesy a blandly juvenile.
	♥ 10:27pm Julie: yeah you could turn it into a theme hotel
	10:28pm Dean: ^and blandly
	♥ 10:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and bananable people!
	♥ 10:28pm MHLee: but basically says something a long the lines that Bugliosi was a liar and a crook and that people like Melcher went through great lengths to hide their involvement
	♥ 10:28pm Julie: hiya Ken!
	♥ 10:29pm Julie: David Bowie trying to be NIN > actual NIN
	♥ 10:30pm Julie: ↳ MHLee @10:28 someone said something similar about Bugliosi on one of my boards that he's full of shit
	10:30pm Dean: Well, Bugliosi was a zealous advocate. That was his job. The "race war" motif helped to craft the larger narrative.
	10:31pm Dean: It's about time we hear Steppenwolf on these "airwaves"! Pre-Tate/LaBianca!
	♥ 10:31pm Julie: One would think there are more effective ways to start a race war than murder a bunch of well off white people. southern strategy for one
	♥ 10:32pm MHLee: ↳ Julie @10:30 There also some really weird stuff going one between Manson and his parole officer
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think Reznor is a good Producer - got his own approach to sound - which is more than a lot of people do. But I never picked up on NIN either. Think he's probly doing more interesting things after it - soundtracks & such ?
	10:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ MHLee @10:28 Terry Melcher?!
	10:32pm Dean: My mom took me to Jay Sebring to get my hair cut.
	♥ 10:33pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @10:32 Yup. He moved back into the house after the murder I believe
	10:33pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @10:27 Dean. have you even heard the Lost Highway movie soundtrack? Nothing"juvenile" about the work Trent did for it. Devon E. Levins (of Morricone Island) will tell you the same.
	♥ 10:34pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Resurrection" by "Steppenwolf" Steppenwolf are fashion icons
	10:34pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Resurrection" by "Steppenwolf" That was great! Nice to hear something beyond the usual radio hits.
	♥ 10:36pm MHLee: ↳ MHLee @10:33 I unfortunately just gave the book to my mother, but there's tons of interviews in it which is why the author eventually got overwhelmed
	10:37pm Dean: I have not heard Lost Highway, and I might enjoy it hearing it without advance notice (e.g., turning on the radio and going, "What is this?"). But I'm generally not a fan of soundtracks (with plenty of exceptions).
	10:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - 'SunnyAfternoon' riffing on 'Taxman' ! Never clued into that !
	10:39pm Dean: I've also visited the spot where RFK was shot at the (now gone) Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire. This would have been '76, when I helped a friend plan the junior/senior prom. Despite that fact that I planned the event, I, a senior, did not attend.
	♥ 10:40pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:37 yeah he's like "oh woe is me the tax man took all my money but here I am in this mansion"
	10:41pm Mr Fab: Happy Zombie Day! commemorating the day Jesus rose from the dead to haunt the living. Speaking of the Elevators, Roky's "I Walked With A Zombie" would be appropriate Zombie Day caroling material.
	10:42pm Dean: And I traveled to Hollywood from Berkeley some years ago to hear Zeke at the Viper Room on Sunset, outside of which River Phoenix collapsed and died. So, yeah, I've got second-hand war stories.
	♥ 10:42pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @10:40 Ray's lyrics often have a wry inclination to them.
	♥ 10:43pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:42 But you probably knew that already.
	♥ 10:43pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @10:42 Ray definitely had issues with Paul, not sure about George
	10:43pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @10:37 Well, as Rev pointed out, the man has been busy for the last two decades producing movie soundtracks with Atticus Ross. You should take some time to sample the soundtracks they've done together. You'll hear another side of Reznor you've never heard before and maybe think differently about him.
	♥ 10:43pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @10:43 I love a snarky king
	♥ 10:44pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @10:43 I feel as if "snarky" is an overused term of late. I prefer "sarcastic," "snotty," or "ironic."
	♥ 10:44pm MHLee: ↳ MHLee @10:36 Misremembered, had to check what it was. Found a digital copy. "In the crossed-out sections of Bugliosi’s notes, to my astonishment, DeCarlo described three visits by Terry Melcher to the Manson Family—after the murders." Remembered something really freaky with Melcher was happening. The notes are reproduced in book.
	♥ 10:45pm Julie: language is an ever growing thing
	♥ 10:46pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @10:45 Yeah, and I feel it's been growing in an unfortunate direction since the advent of social media.
	♥ 10:46pm Julie: People probably had the same complaint about newspapers
	♥ 10:47pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Taking Some Time On" by "Barclay James Harvest" Geometric patterns are always a good sign for albums
	♥ 10:47pm Julie: very kaleidoscope
	♥ 10:48pm Roberto: Standards have been lowered. Everything done been dumbed down.
	10:48pm Dean: Steppenwolf AND BJH! Fantastic. I managed to catch their 20-minute encore at Wembley Arena in '87. "language is an ever growing thing"?! WTF? LOL!
	♥ 10:49pm Julie: okay can we please stop hassling the host about her choice of words
	♥ 10:49pm Julie: I WILL TURN THIS SHOW AROUND
	♥ 10:50pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @10:49 Agreed. I'm not worthy! And I mean that sincerely, not sarcastically 😁
	10:50pm Androu B.: ↳ Julie @10:49 ...if the streams don't give out and do it for us, that is!
	♥ 10:51pm Julie: this is a nice instrumental break
	♥ 10:51pm MHLee: ↳ Androu B. @10:43 Honestly I really do like the ghosts projects
	10:53pm Dean: "Everthing has been dumbed down": passive voice. Who is doing the dumbing, I wonder? I spend my days among very smart young students. From my non-methodical observations, I'd say some have adopted bad habits, but for the most part, wow, they are impressive. I recently chatted with a student who is making her way through John Rawls' Theory of Justice. That is the very opposite of dumbed down. (Was joking about your choice of words, Julie. I generally eschew Twitter's incentivization of abbreviations.)
	♥ 10:54pm MHLee: Cover brings back memories of when twilight was popular
	♥ 10:54pm Roberto: ↳ Dean @10:53 It's possible I've been watching too much YouTube with my daughter.
	10:54pm Androu B.: ↳ MHLee @10:51 I've had them downloaded in my external hard drive for years now and still haven't gotten around to listening to them. Maybe someday, though...
	♥ 10:54pm Julie: I choose my words pretty carefully, and if something really fits I use it
	10:54pm Dean: Not if you're watching Laurel & Hardy you aren't!
	♥ 10:54pm Julie: ↳ MHLee @10:54 OMG it does look like a Twilight cover!
	♥ 10:54pm Roberto: ↳ Dean @10:54 We're not.
	♥ 10:55pm MHLee: ↳ Androu B. @10:54 One got sampled for old town road finally giving NIN a country award
	♥ 10:57pm MHLee: Tomorrow are always mentioned in the same breath as Syd Barrett at UFO. I wonder what they looked like live because all tomorrow's recordings sound a lot like this.
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Three Jolly Little Dwarfs" by "Tomorrow" HBD SteveHowe ...always points for not WhiteBicycle again...
	10:57pm Androu B.: ↳ MHLee @10:55 Kind of ironic, but at least Trent & company are finally getting more well-deserved recognition.
	♥ 10:59pm MHLee: Another group of UFO freaks here. This album is very strange... listened to it a lot as a senior in high school circa 2015
	10:59pm Androu B.: I'm sure you'll make it a point to bring it up on Dave Mandl's show tomorrow!
	♥ 11:00pm Julie: good grief MHLee you're a young 'un
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'm Coming Home" by "The Deviants" PTOOFF! Older brother was big on this album ! So I was steeped in it real early. Not always on the ProtoPunk shortlists ...but Stooges weren't on vinyl til 1969 fergawdsake...
	11:00pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @10:59 (That was directed at you, Rev!)
	11:01pm Mr Fab: well this is certainly a side of Sire you didn't hear about when Stein died. These weren't big hits or too well remembered nowadays, but hey, he had to release something waiting for punk to be invented.
	♥ 11:01pm Julie: ↳ Song: "I'm Coming Home" by "The Deviants" this song is more psych but the rest of the album is really punky
	♥ 11:01pm MHLee: ↳ Julie @11:01 Other than two pysch folk tracks
	♥ 11:01pm Julie: ↳ Mr Fab @11:01 I didn't have time to do it all on my Tues show, so I did the 70s and 80s then and saved the 60s for tonight!
	♥ 11:02pm MHLee: I think I played Bun on my fill-in?
	11:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Julie @11:01 A goof on Gloria ...sarky (harhar) about their own scene like Zappa & the Mothers...
	♥ 11:02pm Julie: I only just found out about them, one of you guys made a reference to it and then I saw the name again after Stein died
	♥ 11:03pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:02 yes...pseudo Doors
	11:04pm Mr Fab: "Hocus Pocus" by Focus, and "The Pretenders" (feat. Chrissie, my first rock chick crush) were prob my first Sire purchases. Of which there would be many.
	11:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "(In The) Black Room + The Tower" by "Peter Hammill" ♏︎🦂
	♥ 11:06pm Julie: shoot I forgot about Focus!
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If I have a little too much caffeine or alcohol too fast - & hafta turn on my Gittar amp ...one thing likely to try & come out is the Flamin'Groovies' 'ShakesSomeAction' album. & that's just one album on Sire that means that much to me.
	♥ 11:08pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:05 that's a scorpion and what?
	11:09pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "(In The) Black Room + The Tower" by "Peter Hammill" Noticing he has a similar vibrato as one Rob Halford.
	♥ 11:09pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:08 I personally prefer Teenage Head
	♥ 11:09pm Julie: ↳ Androu B. @11:09 I'm digging this.
	11:10pm Dean: I have two copies of Shake Some Action, and I've given copies to friends who need to have it. But I also love Teenage Head. Saw them at the Whisky.
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Julie @11:08 Scorpio glyph : ♏︎ - the 'M' of Matter penetrated some say. Whereas the Virgo 'M' is Matter perfected : ♍︎ ...or Virgo has its legs crossed & Scorp has its little thang stickin' out - harhar...
	♥ 11:11pm Julie: Im just gonna assume teenage head is an album
	♥ 11:11pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:11 oh far out
	♥ 11:12pm Julie: ↳ Song: "(In The) Black Room + The Tower" by "Peter Hammill" so what IS this?? Is this prog?
	11:12pm Dean: An early Groovies album.
	♥ 11:13pm Julie: I think I have one of their albums, I forget which one.
	♥ 11:13pm MHLee: ↳ Julie @11:12 This seems proggy to me. As proggy as Kayak
	♥ 11:13pm Julie: Which Groovies album should I get?
	11:13pm Androu B.: ↳ Julie @11:12 We may find out if/when Dave Mandl ever gets his chance to playing a track off it.
	♥ 11:14pm Julie: ↳ Song: "(In The) Black Room + The Tower" by "Peter Hammill" I feel like you could say Art Rock too? For this song anyway
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well all Groovies is good Groovies. Just ShakeSomeAction I internalized as an album & it's good to run thru on Gittar. & yeah - I like that it's modeled on early Beatles & Stones albums like that. Myself. Well - it's just more familiar maybe...
	11:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Julie @11:11 haha!
	♥ 11:14pm Julie: 1970 Flamingo looks good
	11:15pm Dean: Yes, Hammill is progressive rock. I heard him quite a bit on the Long Beach KNAC station prog show. Never quite got into him or VDGG. I always perceived this era, '73-ish, as entailing a competition between the Peters, Gabriel and Hammill. The early Groovies stuff is raw rock 'n' roll. Dave Edmunds produced Shake Some Action, which is indeed something of a masterpiece if you're into early Beatles. The following albums were also good, with a cover song here or there (e.g., "Feel a Whole Lot Better) worth your time.
	♥ 11:16pm Julie: yeah it did remind me of Gabriel too
	11:16pm Dean: A colleague of mine at work is friends with a couple guys who are hoping to release a documentary about the Groovies. It has been in the works for ages. Not sure what the status is...
	11:17pm Dean: Richard Meltzer appears on one of those old Groovies albums.
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @11:15 Right. Someone said - Groovies were like the Stones if they were based on Sun Records instead of Chess ? Whereas the ShakeSomeAction iteration had got to a PowerPop thing.
	♥ 11:17pm Julie: there is a series out called Women in Rock currently, I forget what service its on but it looks interesting
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I always say Van der Graaf is to King Crimson as the PrettyThings are to the Stones...
	11:18pm Dean: Pre-Genesis Steve Hackett here on Quiet World. An album I own and never play.
	11:19pm Mr Fab: Well then I hope all you Groovies fans dig the show "Shake Some Action" on Wed, here on Sheena's!
	♥ 11:19pm Julie: and Steve's kid brother
	11:20pm Dean: Ah, John, who shows up on more than a few Hackett solo works.
	♥ 11:20pm Roberto: Ughhh why is there always one tissue that manages to sneak into the laundry?
	♥ 11:20pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:20 All it takes is one.
	♥ 11:20pm MHLee: I met someone who knew or was related to the bass player in the Sacred Mushroom, very obscure sixties blue-rock band but the best cover of "I'm Not Like Anybody Else"
	♥ 11:20pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @11:20 ALWAYS especially if most of your clothes are black like mine
	11:21pm Mr Fab: ↳ Roberto @11:20 gotta check your pockets! But they probably hop in anyway, when you're not looking.
	11:21pm Androu B.: ↳ Roberto @11:20 Lol, feel you there! Happens to me on occasion!
	11:22pm Dean: I really think you need to hear Beyond an Empty Dream, a Charisma sampler. The Rutherford/Phillips choral piece is lovely, but so are other tracks.
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Worst thing ever ....I tucked a couple Socialist magazines into the basket to leave @ the Laundromat ...but just threw it all into the machine...
	♥ 11:23pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:22 There's a metaphor in there somewhere.
	♥ 11:23pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:22 Nothing left?
	♥ 11:23pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Christ" by "Quiet World" I like this. It kinda reminds me of a weavers influenced incredible string band
	11:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @11:23 Oh for certain...
	♥ 11:24pm Julie: it's important to launder your socialism
	11:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Washed it all a time or two more ...a little stiff but got better...
	♥ 11:24pm MHLee: ↳ MHLee @11:23 Like some sort of America version. If the ISB was European and Asia in out look that's the Americana version
	11:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Christ" by "Quiet World" i love fake Hey Judes. See also The Velvets' "New Age."
	11:26pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @11:25 "1969 Live" version.
	♥ 11:28pm Roberto: Amanda had John Sebastian as a guest on her show around 2015.
	11:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: John Sebastian a 17th March (very much) ♓︎Pisces if I'm not mistaken.
	♥ 11:29pm MHLee: The Heaven Above Me is the literal translate here
	♥ 11:30pm Julie: this song is as true as it was then, your followers are blind too much heaven on their minds
	♥ 11:31pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:29 you're right..I must be thinking of someone else!
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JC Superstar imho is rather great. Tho it has a lot to answer for culturally ! & in fact Tommy before it.
	♥ 11:31pm MHLee: My German reading comprehension is okay. I can't follow what she is singing. I can pick out words but not the whole phrase.
	11:32pm Mike Rogers: Hi Julie san!
	♥ 11:32pm Julie: John Sebastian was on my brain for some reason I went looking for that one
	♥ 11:33pm Julie: Mike Rogers! howdy!
	♥ 11:33pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:31 Oh I love it. I was gonna watch it tonight but I didn't feel like giving Amazon $4
	11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "My Friend Jack" by "The Smoke" Always credited as one of the earlier blatantly Psych trax. Single before 1967 ?
	♥ 11:34pm Julie: both it and godspell are only available to buy!
	11:34pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "My Friend Jack" by "The Smoke" This one's been growing on me lately since Rich & Mom Whig have played it recently.
	♥ 11:34pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:34 10 Feb 1967
	♥ 11:35pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:34 nope single also 1967
	11:35pm Scott from Boston: OMG JC Superstar in German! That's brilliant!
	♥ 11:35pm MHLee: Really it's the Holy Modal Rounders who were ahead of the crowd
	♥ 11:35pm Julie: I also love the Death by chocolate version
	♥ 11:35pm Julie: Hiya Scott!
	11:35pm Dean: I still think Handel's Messiah kicks hellacious ass. Slapp Happy even covered an aria.
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "My Friend Jack" by "The Smoke" Who knows about anybody took acid early enuff it was on sugar cubes ?
	♥ 11:36pm MHLee: Just got a signed and numbered copy of Indian Warwhoop 95/100
	♥ 11:36pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:35 From York too... not like a bunch of acid taking bohemians up their
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah early '67 is early but not crazy early. Just blatant to speak directly about ingesting it ...if not naming it.
	11:38pm Androu B.: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:35 I had a feeling those lyrics were hinting to a drug reference. But it seemed odd to me the first time I heard it.
	11:38pm Scott from Boston: Hi Julie! If anyone has not seen it, the TV JC Superstar from a couple of years back with John Legend as JC was excellent. One real treat -- Alice Cooper as Herod.
	♥ 11:38pm Julie: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:38 I was there! It was fantastic!
	♥ 11:39pm Julie: ↳ Julie @11:38 there's also a nice tv version from about ten years back with Scary Spice
	♥ 11:40pm MHLee: Someday I should make a play list of ethereal hippie woman and girls
	♥ 11:40pm MHLee: Stuff like this and Dandelions
	♥ 11:40pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Garden Botanum" by "These Trails" ooh I love this synth
	11:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Station Mgr Ken is reportedly a JCSuperstar obsessive of a sort.
	♥ 11:41pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:40 he very much IS. all the versions.
	11:41pm Scott from Boston: ↳ Julie @11:38 Looks like it was an amazing time!
	11:42pm Androu B.: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:40 Loved that show! We wouldn't have known about Sad Kermit if it wasn't for that!
	11:43pm Mr Fab: i'v alwasy maintained that there are two kinds of people: "Godspell" people and "Jesus Christ Superstar" people. Go J-C-S! Go J-C-S!
	♥ 11:44pm Julie: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:41 JCS has the drama. Godspell is more wispy. I adore the movie though, seeing old NYC
	11:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Androu B. @11:42 Oh yes ! Muppet Christ Superstar !
	♥ 11:45pm Julie: a friend of mine did a one-man streaming version during pandemic lockdown
	11:45pm Androu B.: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:44 Bizarre, wasn't it?
	♥ 11:45pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:44 My daughter was obsessed with MCS a few years ago.
	♥ 11:46pm Julie: also Mr Show's Jeepers Creepers Semi-Star which alas has been taken on YT but I did watch all glorious 7 minutes on hbomax
	11:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @11:45 ...two great tastes that you know what...
	♥ 11:47pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Open Your Eyes" by "The McCoys" this took an odd turn
	11:47pm Dean: What, no love for Handel? The range of interpretations is stunning. Colin Davis or Christopher Hogwood?
	♥ 11:48pm MHLee: Honestly Christopher Lee should have done a version of JCS
	11:48pm Dean: Was rereading Baudelaire a few weeks ago.
	11:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Julie @11:46 No idea what that is but imagining Insane Clown Posse doing JCS ...but I'm sure it's better then that...
	11:49pm Scott from Boston: ↳ Dean @11:47 Handel wrote some fun stuff. I sang a few of his oratorios when I was with a chorus here in Boston.
	11:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @11:48 Yeah it's his B-Day.
	11:50pm Scott from Boston: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:48 JCS: ICP yeahhhh
	♥ 11:50pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:48 it's a fantastic parody of the movie but it's a 90s slacker jesus who is played by Jack Black
	♥ 11:50pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:46 She actually got a Kermit puppet and taped it to her dorm window.
	♥ 11:50pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Evening Harmony" by "Ruth White" Definitely seeing a flower of evil in this. Quite distressing. Here's another one to go with Wendy Carlos and the Nazgul for ambient synth horror
	11:50pm Androu B.: ↳ MHLee @11:48 If he hadn't been typecast as Hollywood's ideal Dracula at the time, things would have turned out differently for him.
	11:51pm Dean: So it is! Amazing.
	11:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like how Hendrix was renting Handel's trap in London briefly - so he got a bunch of his vinyls ...perhaps even an influence. :)
	♥ 11:52pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:51 Oh yeah, I meant to visit Handel/Hendrix House during my last visit to London but ran out of time.
	♥ 11:52pm Julie: ↳ Song: "I Don't Know How To Love Him" by "Julie Budd" this used to be my audition song, in another life
	11:53pm Mr Fab: i'm amazed that I like JCS so much - it's the dreaded Andrew Lloyd Weber, ferchrissakes. Oh! the cognitive dissonance...
	11:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like - JCS checks all the boxes. This song ! Completely absurd ambition - & it succeeds on all counts.
	11:53pm Scott from Boston: ↳ MHLee @11:48 Never heard Lee sing, but he would have been an excellent Pilate.
	♥ 11:53pm Roberto: ↳ Mr Fab @11:53 Catchy tunes can go a long way.
	11:53pm Mr Fab: ↳ Julie @11:52 PLEASE tell us you have a recording!!
	♥ 11:54pm Julie: ↳ Mr Fab @11:53 oh heavens no. I sang it at llive auditions
	11:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mr Fab @11:53 Seriously ALWeber shoulda stopped @ the the start here. He's said he had no idea what he was doing yet ...so it came out unforced I suppose.
	11:54pm Mr Fab: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:53 Lee made a bunch of hilariously goofy heavy metal recordings late in life.
	♥ 11:55pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @11:54 He also narrates an album based on the Queen of Elfland and has some operatic recordings
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lee was for real a helluva dood in about nine ways. I have heard his albums are regrettable however. But ...I have not heard them.
	♥ 11:57pm MHLee: ↳ MHLee @11:55 Sorry kings of elfland's daughter en.wikipedia.org...
	11:58pm Androu B.: Thanks so much, Julie! Hope your Easter was great!
	♥ 11:59pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 I played Christopher Lee's version of my way like two weeks ago?
	11:59pm Mr Fab: MHLee: related to Christopher? Or ever lied, and said you were?
	♥ 11:59pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 Regrettable? I think Station Manager Ken's ears just pricked up.
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Julie ~
	♥ 11:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks Julie! Good night.
	♥ 11:59pm MHLee: wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:00am Julie: thanks everyone!!
	♥ 12:00am MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @11:59 My father's name frequently gets misprinted as Christopher Lee
	♥ 12:00am Yvang: Thanks Julie for the great Banana time!
	♥ 12:00am MHLee: It's not
	♥ 12:00am MHLee: Thanks Julie

	♥ 10:03pm Yvang: 4am Europe time here, creative time...

	♥ 10:03pm Yvang: Hi Androu!
	♥ 10:03pm Julie: hi Androu!
	10:04pm Dean: Banana Pasqua!
	♥ 10:04pm Julie: Hiya Dean!
	10:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 🐇 Evening ! 🐇
	♥ 10:05pm Julie: Hiya Rev! Did you bring us candy?
	10:06pm Androu B.: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:05 Greets, Rev! 🐰💣♏
	10:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if I knew SharonTate was gonna be here I woulda for sure...
	♥ 10:11pm Roberto: Banana Pasqua a tutti!
	10:11pm Dean: I have a morbid fascination with Cielo Drive. On the ten year anniversary (or whatever one calls it) of the murders, a group of us took a trip to see it. We got as far as the bottom of the long driveway. Nowadays, the house is completely new, and it has been on the market for some ungodly sum.
	♥ 10:11pm Julie: Howdy Roberto!
	♥ 10:14pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Swamp Man" by "Martha Velez" Don't shake hands with Martha.
	♥ 10:15pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Swamp Man" by "Martha Velez" isn't the cover amazing..I wanna see that movie
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Julie @10:15 ...could be a HammerHorror...
	♥ 10:16pm Yvang: ↳ Julie @10:15 Beautiful cover.
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:16 ...unless you're being literal...
	♥ 10:17pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:16 I thought of Kenneth Anger but same basic idea
	10:18pm Mr Fab: Hellos to Julie and the banana bunch.
	10:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Julie @10:17 Ah. Truth is I've never seen that stuff.
	♥ 10:18pm Julie: hiya Mr Fab!
	10:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "I Am A Child (Final Mix from 8-track)" by "Polly ... I missed this. Neil Young cover?
	♥ 10:19pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:18 witchy, atmospheric, same basic idea, less plot
	♥ 10:19pm Julie: ↳ Mr Fab @10:19 Yes! That whole collection is lovely
	10:21pm Dean: I've also spied the LaBianca house, which sits next to a former convent acquired in recent years by Katy Perry.
	♥ 10:21pm Julie: oh the former convent must be cool looking
	10:21pm Mr Fab: ↳ Julie @10:19 wow, 1970 is pretty early. Wonder if that's the first Neil cover.
	10:22pm Dean: Both edifices were impressive, but the convent certainly stands out for the amount of space it occupies.
	♥ 10:22pm Julie: ↳ Mr Fab @10:21 the initial album was 1970, it's a bonus track so possible it was a little later
	♥ 10:24pm MHLee: Ace band
	10:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ Dean @10:21 i've driven past the former site of Spahn Ranch. Just a big empty lot now. No one's built on it. I realize people wouldn't want the bad mojo, but considering LA-area real estate, you'd think someone wouldn't be able to resist a giant hunk of empty real estate.
	10:26pm Mr Fab: true-crime enthusiasts, perhaps. "Live in beautiful MansonLand Estates!"
	♥ 10:27pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @10:26 Read the Manson book from 2019 recently... has a really umm clickbaity title
	10:27pm Dean: Never made it to Spahn Ranch, but I have driven by the gas station in Sylmar off 5 where the "Family" deposited a wallet of one of the victims (or so Bugliosi claimed). Some people do like the bad mojo. Trent Reznor acquired the Cielo Drive home before it was razed. I suppose he's an outlier. I've always found NIN cheesy a blandly juvenile.
	♥ 10:27pm Julie: yeah you could turn it into a theme hotel
	10:28pm Dean: ^and blandly
	♥ 10:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and bananable people!
	♥ 10:28pm MHLee: but basically says something a long the lines that Bugliosi was a liar and a crook and that people like Melcher went through great lengths to hide their involvement
	♥ 10:28pm Julie: hiya Ken!
	♥ 10:29pm Julie: David Bowie trying to be NIN > actual NIN
	♥ 10:30pm Julie: ↳ MHLee @10:28 someone said something similar about Bugliosi on one of my boards that he's full of shit
	10:30pm Dean: Well, Bugliosi was a zealous advocate. That was his job. The "race war" motif helped to craft the larger narrative.
	10:31pm Dean: It's about time we hear Steppenwolf on these "airwaves"! Pre-Tate/LaBianca!
	♥ 10:31pm Julie: One would think there are more effective ways to start a race war than murder a bunch of well off white people. southern strategy for one
	♥ 10:32pm MHLee: ↳ Julie @10:30 There also some really weird stuff going one between Manson and his parole officer
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think Reznor is a good Producer - got his own approach to sound - which is more than a lot of people do. But I never picked up on NIN either. Think he's probly doing more interesting things after it - soundtracks & such ?
	10:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ MHLee @10:28 Terry Melcher?!
	10:32pm Dean: My mom took me to Jay Sebring to get my hair cut.
	♥ 10:33pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @10:32 Yup. He moved back into the house after the murder I believe
	10:33pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @10:27 Dean. have you even heard the Lost Highway movie soundtrack? Nothing"juvenile" about the work Trent did for it. Devon E. Levins (of Morricone Island) will tell you the same.
	♥ 10:34pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Resurrection" by "Steppenwolf" Steppenwolf are fashion icons
	10:34pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Resurrection" by "Steppenwolf" That was great! Nice to hear something beyond the usual radio hits.
	♥ 10:36pm MHLee: ↳ MHLee @10:33 I unfortunately just gave the book to my mother, but there's tons of interviews in it which is why the author eventually got overwhelmed
	10:37pm Dean: I have not heard Lost Highway, and I might enjoy it hearing it without advance notice (e.g., turning on the radio and going, "What is this?"). But I'm generally not a fan of soundtracks (with plenty of exceptions).
	10:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - 'SunnyAfternoon' riffing on 'Taxman' ! Never clued into that !
	10:39pm Dean: I've also visited the spot where RFK was shot at the (now gone) Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire. This would have been '76, when I helped a friend plan the junior/senior prom. Despite that fact that I planned the event, I, a senior, did not attend.
	♥ 10:40pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:37 yeah he's like "oh woe is me the tax man took all my money but here I am in this mansion"
	10:41pm Mr Fab: Happy Zombie Day! commemorating the day Jesus rose from the dead to haunt the living. Speaking of the Elevators, Roky's "I Walked With A Zombie" would be appropriate Zombie Day caroling material.
	10:42pm Dean: And I traveled to Hollywood from Berkeley some years ago to hear Zeke at the Viper Room on Sunset, outside of which River Phoenix collapsed and died. So, yeah, I've got second-hand war stories.
	♥ 10:42pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @10:40 Ray's lyrics often have a wry inclination to them.
	♥ 10:43pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:42 But you probably knew that already.
	♥ 10:43pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @10:42 Ray definitely had issues with Paul, not sure about George
	10:43pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @10:37 Well, as Rev pointed out, the man has been busy for the last two decades producing movie soundtracks with Atticus Ross. You should take some time to sample the soundtracks they've done together. You'll hear another side of Reznor you've never heard before and maybe think differently about him.
	♥ 10:43pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @10:43 I love a snarky king
	♥ 10:44pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @10:43 I feel as if "snarky" is an overused term of late. I prefer "sarcastic," "snotty," or "ironic."
	♥ 10:44pm MHLee: ↳ MHLee @10:36 Misremembered, had to check what it was. Found a digital copy. "In the crossed-out sections of Bugliosi’s notes, to my astonishment, DeCarlo described three visits by Terry Melcher to the Manson Family—after the murders." Remembered something really freaky with Melcher was happening. The notes are reproduced in book.
	♥ 10:45pm Julie: language is an ever growing thing
	♥ 10:46pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @10:45 Yeah, and I feel it's been growing in an unfortunate direction since the advent of social media.
	♥ 10:46pm Julie: People probably had the same complaint about newspapers
	♥ 10:47pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Taking Some Time On" by "Barclay James Harvest" Geometric patterns are always a good sign for albums
	♥ 10:47pm Julie: very kaleidoscope
	♥ 10:48pm Roberto: Standards have been lowered. Everything done been dumbed down.
	10:48pm Dean: Steppenwolf AND BJH! Fantastic. I managed to catch their 20-minute encore at Wembley Arena in '87. "language is an ever growing thing"?! WTF? LOL!
	♥ 10:49pm Julie: okay can we please stop hassling the host about her choice of words
	♥ 10:49pm Julie: I WILL TURN THIS SHOW AROUND
	♥ 10:50pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @10:49 Agreed. I'm not worthy! And I mean that sincerely, not sarcastically 😁
	10:50pm Androu B.: ↳ Julie @10:49 ...if the streams don't give out and do it for us, that is!
	♥ 10:51pm Julie: this is a nice instrumental break
	♥ 10:51pm MHLee: ↳ Androu B. @10:43 Honestly I really do like the ghosts projects
	10:53pm Dean: "Everthing has been dumbed down": passive voice. Who is doing the dumbing, I wonder? I spend my days among very smart young students. From my non-methodical observations, I'd say some have adopted bad habits, but for the most part, wow, they are impressive. I recently chatted with a student who is making her way through John Rawls' Theory of Justice. That is the very opposite of dumbed down. (Was joking about your choice of words, Julie. I generally eschew Twitter's incentivization of abbreviations.)
	♥ 10:54pm MHLee: Cover brings back memories of when twilight was popular
	♥ 10:54pm Roberto: ↳ Dean @10:53 It's possible I've been watching too much YouTube with my daughter.
	10:54pm Androu B.: ↳ MHLee @10:51 I've had them downloaded in my external hard drive for years now and still haven't gotten around to listening to them. Maybe someday, though...
	♥ 10:54pm Julie: I choose my words pretty carefully, and if something really fits I use it
	10:54pm Dean: Not if you're watching Laurel & Hardy you aren't!
	♥ 10:54pm Julie: ↳ MHLee @10:54 OMG it does look like a Twilight cover!
	♥ 10:54pm Roberto: ↳ Dean @10:54 We're not.
	♥ 10:55pm MHLee: ↳ Androu B. @10:54 One got sampled for old town road finally giving NIN a country award
	♥ 10:57pm MHLee: Tomorrow are always mentioned in the same breath as Syd Barrett at UFO. I wonder what they looked like live because all tomorrow's recordings sound a lot like this.
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Three Jolly Little Dwarfs" by "Tomorrow" HBD SteveHowe ...always points for not WhiteBicycle again...
	10:57pm Androu B.: ↳ MHLee @10:55 Kind of ironic, but at least Trent & company are finally getting more well-deserved recognition.
	♥ 10:59pm MHLee: Another group of UFO freaks here. This album is very strange... listened to it a lot as a senior in high school circa 2015
	10:59pm Androu B.: I'm sure you'll make it a point to bring it up on Dave Mandl's show tomorrow!
	♥ 11:00pm Julie: good grief MHLee you're a young 'un
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'm Coming Home" by "The Deviants" PTOOFF! Older brother was big on this album ! So I was steeped in it real early. Not always on the ProtoPunk shortlists ...but Stooges weren't on vinyl til 1969 fergawdsake...
	11:00pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @10:59 (That was directed at you, Rev!)
	11:01pm Mr Fab: well this is certainly a side of Sire you didn't hear about when Stein died. These weren't big hits or too well remembered nowadays, but hey, he had to release something waiting for punk to be invented.
	♥ 11:01pm Julie: ↳ Song: "I'm Coming Home" by "The Deviants" this song is more psych but the rest of the album is really punky
	♥ 11:01pm MHLee: ↳ Julie @11:01 Other than two pysch folk tracks
	♥ 11:01pm Julie: ↳ Mr Fab @11:01 I didn't have time to do it all on my Tues show, so I did the 70s and 80s then and saved the 60s for tonight!
	♥ 11:02pm MHLee: I think I played Bun on my fill-in?
	11:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Julie @11:01 A goof on Gloria ...sarky (harhar) about their own scene like Zappa & the Mothers...
	♥ 11:02pm Julie: I only just found out about them, one of you guys made a reference to it and then I saw the name again after Stein died
	♥ 11:03pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:02 yes...pseudo Doors
	11:04pm Mr Fab: "Hocus Pocus" by Focus, and "The Pretenders" (feat. Chrissie, my first rock chick crush) were prob my first Sire purchases. Of which there would be many.
	11:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "(In The) Black Room + The Tower" by "Peter Hammill" ♏︎🦂
	♥ 11:06pm Julie: shoot I forgot about Focus!
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If I have a little too much caffeine or alcohol too fast - & hafta turn on my Gittar amp ...one thing likely to try & come out is the Flamin'Groovies' 'ShakesSomeAction' album. & that's just one album on Sire that means that much to me.
	♥ 11:08pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:05 that's a scorpion and what?
	11:09pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "(In The) Black Room + The Tower" by "Peter Hammill" Noticing he has a similar vibrato as one Rob Halford.
	♥ 11:09pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:08 I personally prefer Teenage Head
	♥ 11:09pm Julie: ↳ Androu B. @11:09 I'm digging this.
	11:10pm Dean: I have two copies of Shake Some Action, and I've given copies to friends who need to have it. But I also love Teenage Head. Saw them at the Whisky.
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Julie @11:08 Scorpio glyph : ♏︎ - the 'M' of Matter penetrated some say. Whereas the Virgo 'M' is Matter perfected : ♍︎ ...or Virgo has its legs crossed & Scorp has its little thang stickin' out - harhar...
	♥ 11:11pm Julie: Im just gonna assume teenage head is an album
	♥ 11:11pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:11 oh far out
	♥ 11:12pm Julie: ↳ Song: "(In The) Black Room + The Tower" by "Peter Hammill" so what IS this?? Is this prog?
	11:12pm Dean: An early Groovies album.
	♥ 11:13pm Julie: I think I have one of their albums, I forget which one.
	♥ 11:13pm MHLee: ↳ Julie @11:12 This seems proggy to me. As proggy as Kayak
	♥ 11:13pm Julie: Which Groovies album should I get?
	11:13pm Androu B.: ↳ Julie @11:12 We may find out if/when Dave Mandl ever gets his chance to playing a track off it.
	♥ 11:14pm Julie: ↳ Song: "(In The) Black Room + The Tower" by "Peter Hammill" I feel like you could say Art Rock too? For this song anyway
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well all Groovies is good Groovies. Just ShakeSomeAction I internalized as an album & it's good to run thru on Gittar. & yeah - I like that it's modeled on early Beatles & Stones albums like that. Myself. Well - it's just more familiar maybe...
	11:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Julie @11:11 haha!
	♥ 11:14pm Julie: 1970 Flamingo looks good
	11:15pm Dean: Yes, Hammill is progressive rock. I heard him quite a bit on the Long Beach KNAC station prog show. Never quite got into him or VDGG. I always perceived this era, '73-ish, as entailing a competition between the Peters, Gabriel and Hammill. The early Groovies stuff is raw rock 'n' roll. Dave Edmunds produced Shake Some Action, which is indeed something of a masterpiece if you're into early Beatles. The following albums were also good, with a cover song here or there (e.g., "Feel a Whole Lot Better) worth your time.
	♥ 11:16pm Julie: yeah it did remind me of Gabriel too
	11:16pm Dean: A colleague of mine at work is friends with a couple guys who are hoping to release a documentary about the Groovies. It has been in the works for ages. Not sure what the status is...
	11:17pm Dean: Richard Meltzer appears on one of those old Groovies albums.
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @11:15 Right. Someone said - Groovies were like the Stones if they were based on Sun Records instead of Chess ? Whereas the ShakeSomeAction iteration had got to a PowerPop thing.
	♥ 11:17pm Julie: there is a series out called Women in Rock currently, I forget what service its on but it looks interesting
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I always say Van der Graaf is to King Crimson as the PrettyThings are to the Stones...
	11:18pm Dean: Pre-Genesis Steve Hackett here on Quiet World. An album I own and never play.
	11:19pm Mr Fab: Well then I hope all you Groovies fans dig the show "Shake Some Action" on Wed, here on Sheena's!
	♥ 11:19pm Julie: and Steve's kid brother
	11:20pm Dean: Ah, John, who shows up on more than a few Hackett solo works.
	♥ 11:20pm Roberto: Ughhh why is there always one tissue that manages to sneak into the laundry?
	♥ 11:20pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:20 All it takes is one.
	♥ 11:20pm MHLee: I met someone who knew or was related to the bass player in the Sacred Mushroom, very obscure sixties blue-rock band but the best cover of "I'm Not Like Anybody Else"
	♥ 11:20pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @11:20 ALWAYS especially if most of your clothes are black like mine
	11:21pm Mr Fab: ↳ Roberto @11:20 gotta check your pockets! But they probably hop in anyway, when you're not looking.
	11:21pm Androu B.: ↳ Roberto @11:20 Lol, feel you there! Happens to me on occasion!
	11:22pm Dean: I really think you need to hear Beyond an Empty Dream, a Charisma sampler. The Rutherford/Phillips choral piece is lovely, but so are other tracks.
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Worst thing ever ....I tucked a couple Socialist magazines into the basket to leave @ the Laundromat ...but just threw it all into the machine...
	♥ 11:23pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:22 There's a metaphor in there somewhere.
	♥ 11:23pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:22 Nothing left?
	♥ 11:23pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Christ" by "Quiet World" I like this. It kinda reminds me of a weavers influenced incredible string band
	11:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @11:23 Oh for certain...
	♥ 11:24pm Julie: it's important to launder your socialism
	11:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Washed it all a time or two more ...a little stiff but got better...
	♥ 11:24pm MHLee: ↳ MHLee @11:23 Like some sort of America version. If the ISB was European and Asia in out look that's the Americana version
	11:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Christ" by "Quiet World" i love fake Hey Judes. See also The Velvets' "New Age."
	11:26pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @11:25 "1969 Live" version.
	♥ 11:28pm Roberto: Amanda had John Sebastian as a guest on her show around 2015.
	11:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: John Sebastian a 17th March (very much) ♓︎Pisces if I'm not mistaken.
	♥ 11:29pm MHLee: The Heaven Above Me is the literal translate here
	♥ 11:30pm Julie: this song is as true as it was then, your followers are blind too much heaven on their minds
	♥ 11:31pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:29 you're right..I must be thinking of someone else!
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JC Superstar imho is rather great. Tho it has a lot to answer for culturally ! & in fact Tommy before it.
	♥ 11:31pm MHLee: My German reading comprehension is okay. I can't follow what she is singing. I can pick out words but not the whole phrase.
	11:32pm Mike Rogers: Hi Julie san!
	♥ 11:32pm Julie: John Sebastian was on my brain for some reason I went looking for that one
	♥ 11:33pm Julie: Mike Rogers! howdy!
	♥ 11:33pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:31 Oh I love it. I was gonna watch it tonight but I didn't feel like giving Amazon $4
	11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "My Friend Jack" by "The Smoke" Always credited as one of the earlier blatantly Psych trax. Single before 1967 ?
	♥ 11:34pm Julie: both it and godspell are only available to buy!
	11:34pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "My Friend Jack" by "The Smoke" This one's been growing on me lately since Rich & Mom Whig have played it recently.
	♥ 11:34pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:34 10 Feb 1967
	♥ 11:35pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:34 nope single also 1967
	11:35pm Scott from Boston: OMG JC Superstar in German! That's brilliant!
	♥ 11:35pm MHLee: Really it's the Holy Modal Rounders who were ahead of the crowd
	♥ 11:35pm Julie: I also love the Death by chocolate version
	♥ 11:35pm Julie: Hiya Scott!
	11:35pm Dean: I still think Handel's Messiah kicks hellacious ass. Slapp Happy even covered an aria.
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "My Friend Jack" by "The Smoke" Who knows about anybody took acid early enuff it was on sugar cubes ?
	♥ 11:36pm MHLee: Just got a signed and numbered copy of Indian Warwhoop 95/100
	♥ 11:36pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:35 From York too... not like a bunch of acid taking bohemians up their
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah early '67 is early but not crazy early. Just blatant to speak directly about ingesting it ...if not naming it.
	11:38pm Androu B.: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:35 I had a feeling those lyrics were hinting to a drug reference. But it seemed odd to me the first time I heard it.
	11:38pm Scott from Boston: Hi Julie! If anyone has not seen it, the TV JC Superstar from a couple of years back with John Legend as JC was excellent. One real treat -- Alice Cooper as Herod.
	♥ 11:38pm Julie: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:38 I was there! It was fantastic!
	♥ 11:39pm Julie: ↳ Julie @11:38 there's also a nice tv version from about ten years back with Scary Spice
	♥ 11:40pm MHLee: Someday I should make a play list of ethereal hippie woman and girls
	♥ 11:40pm MHLee: Stuff like this and Dandelions
	♥ 11:40pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Garden Botanum" by "These Trails" ooh I love this synth
	11:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Station Mgr Ken is reportedly a JCSuperstar obsessive of a sort.
	♥ 11:41pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:40 he very much IS. all the versions.
	11:41pm Scott from Boston: ↳ Julie @11:38 Looks like it was an amazing time!
	11:42pm Androu B.: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:40 Loved that show! We wouldn't have known about Sad Kermit if it wasn't for that!
	11:43pm Mr Fab: i'v alwasy maintained that there are two kinds of people: "Godspell" people and "Jesus Christ Superstar" people. Go J-C-S! Go J-C-S!
	♥ 11:44pm Julie: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:41 JCS has the drama. Godspell is more wispy. I adore the movie though, seeing old NYC
	11:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Androu B. @11:42 Oh yes ! Muppet Christ Superstar !
	♥ 11:45pm Julie: a friend of mine did a one-man streaming version during pandemic lockdown
	11:45pm Androu B.: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:44 Bizarre, wasn't it?
	♥ 11:45pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:44 My daughter was obsessed with MCS a few years ago.
	♥ 11:46pm Julie: also Mr Show's Jeepers Creepers Semi-Star which alas has been taken on YT but I did watch all glorious 7 minutes on hbomax
	11:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @11:45 ...two great tastes that you know what...
	♥ 11:47pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Open Your Eyes" by "The McCoys" this took an odd turn
	11:47pm Dean: What, no love for Handel? The range of interpretations is stunning. Colin Davis or Christopher Hogwood?
	♥ 11:48pm MHLee: Honestly Christopher Lee should have done a version of JCS
	11:48pm Dean: Was rereading Baudelaire a few weeks ago.
	11:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Julie @11:46 No idea what that is but imagining Insane Clown Posse doing JCS ...but I'm sure it's better then that...
	11:49pm Scott from Boston: ↳ Dean @11:47 Handel wrote some fun stuff. I sang a few of his oratorios when I was with a chorus here in Boston.
	11:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @11:48 Yeah it's his B-Day.
	11:50pm Scott from Boston: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:48 JCS: ICP yeahhhh
	♥ 11:50pm Julie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:48 it's a fantastic parody of the movie but it's a 90s slacker jesus who is played by Jack Black
	♥ 11:50pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:46 She actually got a Kermit puppet and taped it to her dorm window.
	♥ 11:50pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Evening Harmony" by "Ruth White" Definitely seeing a flower of evil in this. Quite distressing. Here's another one to go with Wendy Carlos and the Nazgul for ambient synth horror
	11:50pm Androu B.: ↳ MHLee @11:48 If he hadn't been typecast as Hollywood's ideal Dracula at the time, things would have turned out differently for him.
	11:51pm Dean: So it is! Amazing.
	11:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like how Hendrix was renting Handel's trap in London briefly - so he got a bunch of his vinyls ...perhaps even an influence. :)
	♥ 11:52pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:51 Oh yeah, I meant to visit Handel/Hendrix House during my last visit to London but ran out of time.
	♥ 11:52pm Julie: ↳ Song: "I Don't Know How To Love Him" by "Julie Budd" this used to be my audition song, in another life
	11:53pm Mr Fab: i'm amazed that I like JCS so much - it's the dreaded Andrew Lloyd Weber, ferchrissakes. Oh! the cognitive dissonance...
	11:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like - JCS checks all the boxes. This song ! Completely absurd ambition - & it succeeds on all counts.
	11:53pm Scott from Boston: ↳ MHLee @11:48 Never heard Lee sing, but he would have been an excellent Pilate.
	♥ 11:53pm Roberto: ↳ Mr Fab @11:53 Catchy tunes can go a long way.
	11:53pm Mr Fab: ↳ Julie @11:52 PLEASE tell us you have a recording!!
	♥ 11:54pm Julie: ↳ Mr Fab @11:53 oh heavens no. I sang it at llive auditions
	11:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mr Fab @11:53 Seriously ALWeber shoulda stopped @ the the start here. He's said he had no idea what he was doing yet ...so it came out unforced I suppose.
	11:54pm Mr Fab: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:53 Lee made a bunch of hilariously goofy heavy metal recordings late in life.
	♥ 11:55pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @11:54 He also narrates an album based on the Queen of Elfland and has some operatic recordings
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lee was for real a helluva dood in about nine ways. I have heard his albums are regrettable however. But ...I have not heard them.
	♥ 11:57pm MHLee: ↳ MHLee @11:55 Sorry kings of elfland's daughter en.wikipedia.org...
	11:58pm Androu B.: Thanks so much, Julie! Hope your Easter was great!
	♥ 11:59pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 I played Christopher Lee's version of my way like two weeks ago?
	11:59pm Mr Fab: MHLee: related to Christopher? Or ever lied, and said you were?
	♥ 11:59pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 Regrettable? I think Station Manager Ken's ears just pricked up.
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Julie ~
	♥ 11:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks Julie! Good night.
	♥ 11:59pm MHLee: wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:00am Julie: thanks everyone!!
	♥ 12:00am MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @11:59 My father's name frequently gets misprinted as Christopher Lee
	♥ 12:00am Yvang: Thanks Julie for the great Banana time!
	♥ 12:00am MHLee: It's not
	♥ 12:00am MHLee: Thanks Julie
