	8:21pm Chris Ianuzzi: HI Mr. Fab
	8:22pm Mike Rogers: I plan on 140 MPH for two hours.
	8:22pm Mike Rogers: ... at least 140 mph...
	8:26pm Ted: Glad things were able to move over to Doyōbi!
	8:32pm Mike Rogers: Hey Ted san!!!!! Thanks for coming!!!! I was hoping you'd be here! Irrashaimase!
	8:35pm Chris Ianuzzi: There was guy in Tokyo named Ted that worked on the albums that I worked on. Could it be the same person?
	8:35pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:32 Tadaima! Congrats on being on Saturday night in New York: If I can make it there I'll make it Anywhere It's up to you New York, New York
	8:35pm Ted: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @8:35 Different Tokyo Ted
	8:36pm Mike Rogers: When you've lived and loved like Frank has, you really know what life's about.
	8:36pm Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ Ted @8:35 Thank you Ted
	8:36pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @8:35 Was that a Japanese guy named Ted?
	8:36pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:36 Yep, 4x for Francis Albert.
	8:37pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @8:35 Ted Karasawa?
	8:37pm Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:37 Different Ted
	8:38pm Mike Rogers: Worth an ask, there can't be that many "Ted's" in Japan!
	8:39pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:38 but are there Teddy Boys?
	8:39pm Chris Ianuzzi: a long time ago, he was an assistant engineer at Meldac Studio
	8:39pm Mike Rogers: Is this song a Nick Lowe original?
	8:40pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:39 There are lots of Teddy Boys. In Japan, these types and fashions never went out of fashion for a group of people
	8:41pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:39 Dave Edmunds, I think?
	8:41pm Mike Rogers: They hang out at a club called Heavy Sick in Hatagaya.
	8:41pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:40 I figure there were many, but do they call themselves Teddy Boys?
	8:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @8:41 Ah! Yes. I knew it was one of those guys!
	8:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:41 Yep. They still do.
	8:43pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:42 Good to know the sub-cultures continue on!
	8:45pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:43 I saw on Facebook, they had a dance maybe last week... Dancing and teaching people how to dance in that 50s style (the girls are all dressed like American Graffitti)
	8:47pm Ted: When I was in Tokyo, I thought it was interesting that they had a "Graffitti" section in many of the record stores. In the U.S., it would be Rockabilly.
	8:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:47 Really? It was called, "Graffitti?" (I don't know, I never go to record stores!)
	8:49pm Mike Rogers: Maybe I should go and get out of the 2000s someday.
	8:49pm Mr Fab: they call rockabilly "Graffiti"? Never heard it called that before.
	8:50pm Mike Rogers: Bands are sending me records all the time but I don't even have a plattenspeiler.
	8:50pm Ted: Mostly comps (omnibuses) of Nihon '50s revival bands from the early '80s.
	8:50pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:48 Really? I love record stores! Can't go in without buying something
	8:51pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @8:49 Oh, Mr. Fab, the Japanese hack up English words all the time. A big example, and they still do this is the word, "Glamour." It doesn't mean in Japanese what it means in English at all. In Japanese, it means "Large Breasts.! No kidding.There tons like this.
	8:56pm Mike Rogers: Kanojo ha gurama (She is glamorous) means, in Japanese, "She has big tits."
	8:56pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @8:50 That is exactly why I don't go in!!!
	8:57pm Mike Rogers: Kid in a candy store!!!
	8:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:50 What are the names of those comps?
	8:58pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:51 So is there glam rock as we know it? Bowie, TRex, Slade, Sweet, Mud influence, Sadistic Mika Band?
	9:00pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:57 I flipped through them and found them interesting, but went on to the G.S. section. I would have to dig around Discogs to get the names.
	9:00pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:58 There are bands who called themselves "Glam" but I don't see it. One really popular "Glam" band is "Young Parisians." I like them alot.... But is it Glam? Their last single was bubblegum rock.
	9:02pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:56 Funny, but also nicely put.
	9:02pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:00 I'm familiar with Young Parisians from that the KOGA comp "Eight Beat Dudes" with Supersnazz and Rocket K. Plus, you play them on your show.
	9:03pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @9:02 Really, when Japanese use Japglish, it just confuses me.
	9:05pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:02 The lead singer of Young Parisians is the boss of Club Heavy Sick in Hatagaya.... Really nice, humble guy.
	9:06pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:57 It looks like Toshiba's Express label released some Graffiti comps: www.discogs.com...
	9:07pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:58 Sadistic Mika Band has a VERY dark history. I'm not sure but they completely fell apart after all that UK successes and then the leader committed suicide.
	9:08pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:06 I don't know anything about any major labels at all... Only Sony and no comment abou those "fine" folks.
	9:08pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:07 Did not know that!
	9:08pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:08 It's even worse than I described....
	9:10pm Max D: Hello Mike-san and all! First time here in the Saturday night timeslot.
	9:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:08 I had heard (not sure) no one knows what happened to the lead singer. She just disappeared one day... All sorts of rumors about what happened to her...
	9:11pm Chris Ianuzzi: Hi Max D
	9:12pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:10 Hi Max D san! Thanks for coming! We should have a toast!!!!! To Max D and you guys!
	9:12pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:12 Cheers!
	9:13pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:12 Cheers! Health to all! And a bright future!
	9:14pm Chris Ianuzzi: kanpai Ted and all!!
	9:14pm Max D: Hi Chris Ianuzzi!
	9:15pm Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ Max D @9:14 Hi Max D
	9:16pm Mike Rogers: Cheers!!!!
	9:17pm Mike Rogers: I LOVE this song. Hosokawa Takashi - Naniwa Bushidayo
	9:17pm Ted: ↳ Song: "Outer Space" by "Floppy Pinkies" Welcome Max D. amd hello Chris. Just watced the Japanese two part "Tribute to the Muffs" on YouTube and it had the Floppy Pinkies doing "Outer Space," Firestarter, The Tuesday and the Wimpy's www.youtube.com...
	9:18pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:17 Wow! Those are all cool bands.
	9:19pm Max D: Mike - I had to share the story of the man on the stolen mamachari bicycle that you shared this week with a friend of mine who's an avid cyclist who works in the bicycle industry. He was impressed not only with the man's initiative, but that the police in Japan would chase down a stolen bike. 😆
	9:19pm Mike Rogers: Why don't the bands tell me these things? Oh well, I've been asking myself this same question for nearly 40 years....
	9:20pm Chris Ianuzzi: Mike san You are on it tonight!
	9:21pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:19 I laughed at that one a lot. In Japan, they are called "Mamachari" because they are definitely NOT built for distance or speed. It is quiet impressive he rode one of those for so far!
	9:22pm Max D: ↳ Ted @9:17 Thanks Ted! A kid I went to middle/high school with (Chris Crass) was one of the drummers for The Muffs!
	9:22pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:19 Generally speaking, cops here have seemingly nothing to do, so they would hassle some guy pushing a mamachari up a hill.
	9:23pm Ted: ↳ Max D @9:22 Wow, the drummer before Roy, I believe.
	9:24pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:22 Wow! We're you good friends in high school????
	9:25pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @9:20 Thanks Chris san!
	9:25pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:24 Not close, but I always thought he was cool. One of the 1st wave of punks in a school full of jocks.
	9:26pm Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:25 Im going to take off Now to perform my duty. Great show Mike san!!! :)
	9:26pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:24 But funny now that we are old, get together with mutual friends for lunch sometimes. haha.
	9:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:25 That sounds like my high school. I was a geek and got beat up almost everyday... There were Jocks and stoners.
	9:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:26 I only have one friend from High school. One from university too.
	9:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @9:26 Thanks Chris. Remember: "Yes, dear!"
	9:31pm Max D: I went to a weird High School in Seattle that seemed to spawn rockers in its fringes. Motley Crue, GnR, Pearl Jam, and even more notoriously The Mentors.
	9:31pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:31 Wow! Legendary!!!!
	9:32pm Ted: The drummer for Sonic Youth (Steve Shelly) went to my high school, but he was like 5 years ahead of my time.
	9:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:31 As my dad used to say, Max san, "I'll bet we don't have the same friends!" He'd say things like to this just to cnfuse me as a little kid.
	9:33pm kev: Jumpin Jack Flash was tame compared to the rest of the show and there’s nothing tame about that song
	9:33pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:33 Haha!
	9:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ kev @9:33 Thanks Kev san!!!!!!
	9:35pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:33 He used to say, "Well, you just might not never know." That one confused me for years.
	9:36pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:35 That's like a math problem, haha.
	9:37pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:36 I think when I got into 6th grade or so, I realized, he was just trying to be funny and get close to us kids... He was a hillbilly from North Carolina.
	9:40pm Mike Rogers: Joined the marines. Went to Japan right after WWII. Married my mom. And now you know why I am here. (I was born in the USA!)
	9:42pm Max D: I love Teengenerate! I'd love to get ahold of the Get Action! lp sometime.
	9:43pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:40 Ah, yeah! That's cool to have two cultures, and languages too!
	9:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:42 Come to Japan, Max. I know the lead singer (his name is Fifi - not his real name) He runs the coolest punk bar in Tokyo. I'll take you there. We'll be treated like kings.
	9:44pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:40 I got married in Thailand (not in the military though) so my daughters have the benefit of an other than American perspective.
	9:44pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:43 That sounds like a blast!!!
	9:45pm Max D: ↳ Max D @9:44 Lived in Thailand for 8 years in the 80s-90s. Moved because I was so bored the the USA, as the song goes.
	9:46pm Ted: ↳ Song: "Shanghai Block" by "Lovebites" I like how the Kyushu bands like Lovebites and the Questions have their own sound that they developing.
	9:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:44 Fifi's real name is: アキラスギヤマ (Fifi) Akira Sugiyama I add the Japanese because that is how his Facebook is written. Go friend him. He is a super nice
	9:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:44 That's nice. I had way too many shocking realizations....
	9:46pm Ted: make that are developing!
	9:47pm Max D: Cool. Will do!!!
	9:47pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:46 Yeah, Kyushu bands are way cool. This band is a legendary band from Kyushu.
	9:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:45 I have been to Thailand maybe about 8 times. I love it there!
	9:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:45 I think Thailand is my wife and my favorite place to visit.
	9:52pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:49 That's how I felt the first time I visited when I was 25. I felt we were family somehow and knew I had to live there.
	9:52pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:52 Yeah, the people are somewhat like the Japanese, buddhist, don't get too bent outta shape about things. Very calm.
	9:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:52 Oh, but I get fat when I go to Thailand!!!!!
	9:55pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:54 Can't help it! In my darkest hours, I'd just go find something to eat and everything was better.
	9:56pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:52 So, will you go to retire in Thailand, Max san?
	9:57pm Max D: Not sure, now. I always thought so, but my kids are here, so I'm doubtful.
	9:57pm Ted: Mick Ronson?
	9:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:55 Oh, I go crazy over friend ice cream! But everything is s delicius and so cheap!
	9:58pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:57 Yeah! Mick Ronson! Doh!
	9:59pm Max D: Thanks Mike-san! I'm always happy I stopped in for your show. So much great rocking music you have to share. See ya' soon!
	9:59pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:57 Yeah, one more thing my dad said to me (which shocked me at the time) after my first was born. He said, "You will worry about them for the rest of your life." It's totally true.
	10:00pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:59 Thans for coming, Max san!!!! Hope to see you next week.
	10:00pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:59 Absolutely.
	10:00pm Mike Rogers: This song is actually my eldest daughter... She is a jazz Singer.
	10:01pm Max D: Wow! That is awesome!
	10:01pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @10:00 the playlist really mirrored the chat!
	10:02pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @10:01 But I think she has gotten fed up with the music industry and has taken a "vacation" from it. But, I don't dare ask.
	10:02pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @10:01 Thanks Ted san! Thanks for coming!
	10:03pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Mr. Fab and everyone! Thanks for coming.

	8:39pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:38 but are there Teddy Boys?
	8:39pm Chris Ianuzzi: a long time ago, he was an assistant engineer at Meldac Studio
	8:39pm Mike Rogers: Is this song a Nick Lowe original?
	8:40pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:39 There are lots of Teddy Boys. In Japan, these types and fashions never went out of fashion for a group of people
	8:41pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:39 Dave Edmunds, I think?
	8:41pm Mike Rogers: They hang out at a club called Heavy Sick in Hatagaya.
	8:41pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:40 I figure there were many, but do they call themselves Teddy Boys?
	8:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @8:41 Ah! Yes. I knew it was one of those guys!
	8:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:41 Yep. They still do.
	8:43pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:42 Good to know the sub-cultures continue on!
	8:45pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:43 I saw on Facebook, they had a dance maybe last week... Dancing and teaching people how to dance in that 50s style (the girls are all dressed like American Graffitti)
	8:47pm Ted: When I was in Tokyo, I thought it was interesting that they had a "Graffitti" section in many of the record stores. In the U.S., it would be Rockabilly.
	8:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:47 Really? It was called, "Graffitti?" (I don't know, I never go to record stores!)
	8:49pm Mike Rogers: Maybe I should go and get out of the 2000s someday.
	8:49pm Mr Fab: they call rockabilly "Graffiti"? Never heard it called that before.
	8:50pm Mike Rogers: Bands are sending me records all the time but I don't even have a plattenspeiler.
	8:50pm Ted: Mostly comps (omnibuses) of Nihon '50s revival bands from the early '80s.
	8:50pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:48 Really? I love record stores! Can't go in without buying something
	8:51pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @8:49 Oh, Mr. Fab, the Japanese hack up English words all the time. A big example, and they still do this is the word, "Glamour." It doesn't mean in Japanese what it means in English at all. In Japanese, it means "Large Breasts.! No kidding.There tons like this.
	8:56pm Mike Rogers: Kanojo ha gurama (She is glamorous) means, in Japanese, "She has big tits."
	8:56pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @8:50 That is exactly why I don't go in!!!
	8:57pm Mike Rogers: Kid in a candy store!!!
	8:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:50 What are the names of those comps?
	8:58pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:51 So is there glam rock as we know it? Bowie, TRex, Slade, Sweet, Mud influence, Sadistic Mika Band?
	9:00pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:57 I flipped through them and found them interesting, but went on to the G.S. section. I would have to dig around Discogs to get the names.
	9:00pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:58 There are bands who called themselves "Glam" but I don't see it. One really popular "Glam" band is "Young Parisians." I like them alot.... But is it Glam? Their last single was bubblegum rock.
	9:02pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:56 Funny, but also nicely put.
	9:02pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:00 I'm familiar with Young Parisians from that the KOGA comp "Eight Beat Dudes" with Supersnazz and Rocket K. Plus, you play them on your show.
	9:03pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @9:02 Really, when Japanese use Japglish, it just confuses me.
	9:05pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:02 The lead singer of Young Parisians is the boss of Club Heavy Sick in Hatagaya.... Really nice, humble guy.
	9:06pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:57 It looks like Toshiba's Express label released some Graffiti comps: www.discogs.com...
	9:07pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @8:58 Sadistic Mika Band has a VERY dark history. I'm not sure but they completely fell apart after all that UK successes and then the leader committed suicide.
	9:08pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:06 I don't know anything about any major labels at all... Only Sony and no comment abou those "fine" folks.
	9:08pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:07 Did not know that!
	9:08pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:08 It's even worse than I described....
	9:10pm Max D: Hello Mike-san and all! First time here in the Saturday night timeslot.
	9:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:08 I had heard (not sure) no one knows what happened to the lead singer. She just disappeared one day... All sorts of rumors about what happened to her...
	9:11pm Chris Ianuzzi: Hi Max D
	9:12pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:10 Hi Max D san! Thanks for coming! We should have a toast!!!!! To Max D and you guys!
	9:12pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:12 Cheers!
	9:13pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:12 Cheers! Health to all! And a bright future!
	9:14pm Chris Ianuzzi: kanpai Ted and all!!
	9:14pm Max D: Hi Chris Ianuzzi!
	9:15pm Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ Max D @9:14 Hi Max D
	9:16pm Mike Rogers: Cheers!!!!
	9:17pm Mike Rogers: I LOVE this song. Hosokawa Takashi - Naniwa Bushidayo
	9:17pm Ted: ↳ Song: "Outer Space" by "Floppy Pinkies" Welcome Max D. amd hello Chris. Just watced the Japanese two part "Tribute to the Muffs" on YouTube and it had the Floppy Pinkies doing "Outer Space," Firestarter, The Tuesday and the Wimpy's www.youtube.com...
	9:18pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:17 Wow! Those are all cool bands.
	9:19pm Max D: Mike - I had to share the story of the man on the stolen mamachari bicycle that you shared this week with a friend of mine who's an avid cyclist who works in the bicycle industry. He was impressed not only with the man's initiative, but that the police in Japan would chase down a stolen bike. 😆
	9:19pm Mike Rogers: Why don't the bands tell me these things? Oh well, I've been asking myself this same question for nearly 40 years....
	9:20pm Chris Ianuzzi: Mike san You are on it tonight!
	9:21pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:19 I laughed at that one a lot. In Japan, they are called "Mamachari" because they are definitely NOT built for distance or speed. It is quiet impressive he rode one of those for so far!
	9:22pm Max D: ↳ Ted @9:17 Thanks Ted! A kid I went to middle/high school with (Chris Crass) was one of the drummers for The Muffs!
	9:22pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:19 Generally speaking, cops here have seemingly nothing to do, so they would hassle some guy pushing a mamachari up a hill.
	9:23pm Ted: ↳ Max D @9:22 Wow, the drummer before Roy, I believe.
	9:24pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:22 Wow! We're you good friends in high school????
	9:25pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @9:20 Thanks Chris san!
	9:25pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:24 Not close, but I always thought he was cool. One of the 1st wave of punks in a school full of jocks.
	9:26pm Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:25 Im going to take off Now to perform my duty. Great show Mike san!!! :)
	9:26pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:24 But funny now that we are old, get together with mutual friends for lunch sometimes. haha.
	9:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:25 That sounds like my high school. I was a geek and got beat up almost everyday... There were Jocks and stoners.
	9:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:26 I only have one friend from High school. One from university too.
	9:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @9:26 Thanks Chris. Remember: "Yes, dear!"
	9:31pm Max D: I went to a weird High School in Seattle that seemed to spawn rockers in its fringes. Motley Crue, GnR, Pearl Jam, and even more notoriously The Mentors.
	9:31pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:31 Wow! Legendary!!!!
	9:32pm Ted: The drummer for Sonic Youth (Steve Shelly) went to my high school, but he was like 5 years ahead of my time.
	9:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:31 As my dad used to say, Max san, "I'll bet we don't have the same friends!" He'd say things like to this just to cnfuse me as a little kid.
	9:33pm kev: Jumpin Jack Flash was tame compared to the rest of the show and there’s nothing tame about that song
	9:33pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:33 Haha!
	9:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ kev @9:33 Thanks Kev san!!!!!!
	9:35pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:33 He used to say, "Well, you just might not never know." That one confused me for years.
	9:36pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:35 That's like a math problem, haha.
	9:37pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:36 I think when I got into 6th grade or so, I realized, he was just trying to be funny and get close to us kids... He was a hillbilly from North Carolina.
	9:40pm Mike Rogers: Joined the marines. Went to Japan right after WWII. Married my mom. And now you know why I am here. (I was born in the USA!)
	9:42pm Max D: I love Teengenerate! I'd love to get ahold of the Get Action! lp sometime.
	9:43pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:40 Ah, yeah! That's cool to have two cultures, and languages too!
	9:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:42 Come to Japan, Max. I know the lead singer (his name is Fifi - not his real name) He runs the coolest punk bar in Tokyo. I'll take you there. We'll be treated like kings.
	9:44pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:40 I got married in Thailand (not in the military though) so my daughters have the benefit of an other than American perspective.
	9:44pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:43 That sounds like a blast!!!
	9:45pm Max D: ↳ Max D @9:44 Lived in Thailand for 8 years in the 80s-90s. Moved because I was so bored the the USA, as the song goes.
	9:46pm Ted: ↳ Song: "Shanghai Block" by "Lovebites" I like how the Kyushu bands like Lovebites and the Questions have their own sound that they developing.
	9:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:44 Fifi's real name is: アキラスギヤマ (Fifi) Akira Sugiyama I add the Japanese because that is how his Facebook is written. Go friend him. He is a super nice
	9:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:44 That's nice. I had way too many shocking realizations....
	9:46pm Ted: make that are developing!
	9:47pm Max D: Cool. Will do!!!
	9:47pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:46 Yeah, Kyushu bands are way cool. This band is a legendary band from Kyushu.
	9:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:45 I have been to Thailand maybe about 8 times. I love it there!
	9:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:45 I think Thailand is my wife and my favorite place to visit.
	9:52pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:49 That's how I felt the first time I visited when I was 25. I felt we were family somehow and knew I had to live there.
	9:52pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:52 Yeah, the people are somewhat like the Japanese, buddhist, don't get too bent outta shape about things. Very calm.
	9:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:52 Oh, but I get fat when I go to Thailand!!!!!
	9:55pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:54 Can't help it! In my darkest hours, I'd just go find something to eat and everything was better.
	9:56pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:52 So, will you go to retire in Thailand, Max san?
	9:57pm Max D: Not sure, now. I always thought so, but my kids are here, so I'm doubtful.
	9:57pm Ted: Mick Ronson?
	9:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:55 Oh, I go crazy over friend ice cream! But everything is s delicius and so cheap!
	9:58pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @9:57 Yeah! Mick Ronson! Doh!
	9:59pm Max D: Thanks Mike-san! I'm always happy I stopped in for your show. So much great rocking music you have to share. See ya' soon!
	9:59pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:57 Yeah, one more thing my dad said to me (which shocked me at the time) after my first was born. He said, "You will worry about them for the rest of your life." It's totally true.
	10:00pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @9:59 Thans for coming, Max san!!!! Hope to see you next week.
	10:00pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:59 Absolutely.
	10:00pm Mike Rogers: This song is actually my eldest daughter... She is a jazz Singer.
	10:01pm Max D: Wow! That is awesome!
	10:01pm Ted: ↳ Mike Rogers @10:00 the playlist really mirrored the chat!
	10:02pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @10:01 But I think she has gotten fed up with the music industry and has taken a "vacation" from it. But, I don't dare ask.
	10:02pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Ted @10:01 Thanks Ted san! Thanks for coming!
	10:03pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Mr. Fab and everyone! Thanks for coming.
