	11:26am steveo: omg please tell me you're planning to play ray conniff doing bread today
	11:27am P-90: Thanks LISTENER BABY!
	11:27am P-90: I want this
	11:28am Handy Haversack: In the interest of spreading some pure joy, here's a recipe for baked ziti that listener Buffalo Bills Quarterback John Allen (I assume it's a nom de radio) shared. I made it, and it is the crowing glory of my cooking life. Maybe my entire life. We're still eating it. I made the sauce linked to in it, too. I tripled the garlic in that, made it half a tbs. of crushed red pepper, added another can of crushed tomatoes. Doubled the basil and oregano. For the ziti, I grated half the mozz and cubed half, added a little more shredded on the top. Also a layer of crushed red pepper on top of the noodles, before the sauce. Insanely good. After more than twenty years, I finally feel like I really live in Brooklyn! www.seriouseats.com... Great prize, Baby!
	11:29am P-90: “Shichael Melley is the winner”
	11:31am Listener Baby: Bill Bateman on drums on this one!
	11:32am myron feld: @Baby -- is that so? One of the coolest drummers ever give.
	11:32am Listener Baby: One night only, Myron!
	11:33am clarke: boettcher bottom dollah!!
	11:34am gf2002: Smile Jr.
	11:35am Andres: Handy and Josh Allen: Thanks for the recipe! Listener Baby: What an amazing prize!
	11:35am Dano59: thanks for sharing your ziti success, @Handy! I have an overabundance of pasta here so .. it's a wonder I'm not bigger in the boo-hind
	11:36am Listener Baby: Honored to do it. Thanks to Station Manager Ken for letting us. Again. Honored.
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...go good with 700DOLLARS in wine...
	11:36am KrisB in Stirling: How do I get those fun icons by my name? I'm a swag for lifer!
	11:38am steveo: George whom I a share birthday with, along with certain WFMU dj...
	11:39am G: @KrisB -- contact Joe McGasko?
	11:40am P-90: Deke’s been thrilled lately to finally start getting out to play live for people again. As we’ve said here before, Deke Dickerson is an excellent follow on Facebook, well worth checking out. He recently posted about his collection of vintage “Xophonic” reverb boxes, and a fascinating remembrance of Dave Bunker, complete with photos of Dave’s groundbreaking experimental guitar designs.
	11:40am steveo: @krisB do you have a wfmu login? it might show up if you log in
	11:41am Handy Haversack: You're the best, Baby! @KrisB: They only show up if you're signed in on the web -- the app doesn't do it. To get the #1, you have to aim part of your S4L at Michael's show specifically. Which you can do by pledging at pledge.wfmu.org... Select what you want to devote to the show (up to your S4L limit, as long as you have not allocated it already), select "one time," ignore the swag stuff, select "bill me later." And you can just say in the office comments "aim $xx of my S4L at Michael Shelley." See wfmu.org...
	11:42am steveo: ah right, not the app... good catch Handy
	11:43am paddy in matawan: Wooowooo
	11:44am Joe B: The Chicks - New Zealand, 1965, never released in the US until this version!
	11:44am paddy in matawan: Just checking for my #1 and there it is! Just as @hamdy explains it all!
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Beatles For Sale the Yin in-between two Yang Movies... RubberSoul gets all the cred for FolkRawk - but they were already there !... Paul wrote Follow the Sun when he was a kid !...
	11:46am KrisB in Stirling: Thanks, everyone. I did pledge via the website and included Michael Shelley in my favorites. Will investigate further after finishing my taxes. WFMU is keeping me focused!
	11:46am Frank In Queens: Beatles For Sale is my fave from that era.
	11:46am clarke: For Sale has been my "official" fave (the british version of course) -- but, being honest with myself, when i was growing up it was Sgt. Pepper then VI
	11:47am phat: I think Beatles For Sale is still my favorite Beatles album. That period is the absolute best. I tend to prefer the first half of their career to the later period these days. I would totally listen to the Red album over the Blue album.
	11:47am Sean: Beatles for Sale I think is their most pivotal album. Almost half covers, did they ever record another cover after?
	11:47am gf2002: LOVE "Beatles For Sale", for me it's a favorite right up there with Revolver. And "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" has one of George's finest guitar solos. I think it was Geoff Emerick who said he played John's vocal intro to Mr. Moonlight over and over because it was so powerful
	11:47am Frank In Queens: I was partial to Beatles '65 when I was a kid.
	11:47am phat: What a goddamn chorus!
	11:48am Frank In Queens: Sean, Help has some covers.
	11:48am clarke: (because who had the brit versions in america in the 60's? not a lot of folks). (also, lately, i am VERY partial to Help!).
	11:48am P-90: Agreed, Beatles for Sale is a cornerstone, if not THE cornerstone.
	11:49am clarke: @Frank: these guys are busy slingin' the hash. we might have to start MovieTime w/o them?
	11:49am Joe B: @Frank - yes - Beatles 65 and Beatles VI!
	11:49am Frank In Queens: Could do, Clarke. I've got 2 weeks worth.
	11:50am clarke: shoot, kid!
	11:50am Sean: Thanks Frank, I understand they started recording HELP only a few weeks after finishing For Sale. To me that few weeks is the HUGE pivot,from Kansas City to the Ganges.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Robyn Hitchcock did a podcast about Beatles For Sale - thot it was My Favorite Album w/ Jeremy Dylan but I can't find it again... Made point they we're showing the Stines & Dylan effect already by then. Flipside of Beatlemania... Going digital & getting all the UK versions over here made all the difference! HardDay'sNight is perfect as an album...so on...
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Mono mix of 'Ticket to Ride' - check it...
	11:51am clarke: for myself, i finally saw Breakfast At Tiffany's for the first time. was pretty impressed with peppard's performance.
	11:52am Dennis Diken: I really am one who digs "Mr. Moonlight" - the vocal is searing!
	11:52am Frank In Queens: @Sean, which is pretty amazing considering that I believe Beatles For Sale was recorded with them feeling pretty spent from touring and not having enough time to write much; hence the abundance of covers.
	11:53am clarke: yes DD, MM is a fave - the saturation on those mics!! whooooo!!
	11:53am Andres: Me as a kid seeing Breakfasr at Tiffany’s: Why is Hannibal in this movie?
	11:53am Joe B: @Sean - i think about 4 months in between the recording dates. IIRC - For Sale ended October 1964, Help was started Feb 1965. but your point stands!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Actually maintain 'Mr.Moonlight' is protoRamones-like in its self-referential goofiness for a choice of cover. Lennon Vocal - obviously...
	11:54am Frank In Queens: Nice clarke, still haven't seen that one. Last week was Kansas City, The Wrong Man, and The Mystery Of The Wax Museum. This week has been I Shot Jesse James, Election, Broadcast News.
	11:55am clarke: peppard plays that role PERFECTLY!! i "liked" the film, but it has flaws. The Wrong Man -- MAN!!!
	11:56am gf2002: "Beatles For Sale" is heavy on John's originals, I think it shows he was on a self-doubting songwriting roll while Paul had to dip back to 1958 for one of his sunny originals. And John's songs on the album have a darker theme than what had come before, and showed what was to come with "Help" and "Ticket To Ride", dark themes and self doubt
	11:56am Frank In Queens: It took my two tries to really enjoy The Wrong Man. It was a very frustrating initial watch.
	11:56am clarke: THAT might be the strangest hitch flick??
	11:57am Andres: Frank In Queens: Curious if you got around to John Sayle’s Secret of Roan Inish?
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: gf2002 spot on.
	11:57am Listener Baby: We’ve got Uber and Paved roads too.
	11:57am Frank In Queens: Andres, I still haven't but it's definitely on the list.
	11:58am clarke: frustrating is a good description. but, fonda is f'n great, and it shines thru.
	11:58am P-90: It can easily cost 50-60 bucks just to ship a case of wine in the U.S. More overseas.
	11:58am Frank In Queens: Indeed clarke.
	11:58am clarke: i hear hank was not too fond of hitch??
	11:59am Frank In Queens: Well, they only worked together once.
	11:59am clarke: yeah. i don't know what Kansas City is??
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: It's a 1996 Robert Altman film. Ensemble cast.
	12:00pm clarke: ah.
	12:01pm clarke: and your take on it?
	12:02pm Handy Haversack: As listener fred says: I listen to WFMU to like what I hear, not to hear what I like.
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: It was good, albeit a little unfulfilling. But that's how I largely feel about Altman's work aside from MASH.
	12:02pm myron feld: Dennis, "Peace Frog" is great -- how many other songs mention New Haven? Blood, of course, not pizza, but still....
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: Curation is what's missing from media today.
	12:03pm clarke: yes, i have not lately been so big on the altman thang. i haven't seen The Player in a while, but it is his most succinct work. you recently saw that.
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: Oh ye, The Player. I liked that one as well.
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: I have told this story before, but I was listening to Suzy Hotrod with a friend, and his partner came home and thought it was too staticky and put on a Spotify rockabilly channel(? I don't know how it works). I went from discovering new artists and new tracks with every change to knowing and having heard a million times every song that came on. Sad. Trom. Bone.
	12:04pm PERSONATOR from Highland Park NJ: I agree I discovered Joe frank here. Love it! And I heard for the first time “ I’m a no brow!” “Not a high brow but a low brow!” And I heard SUICIDE on here for the first time!
	12:05pm P-90: Some of us are desperate to AVOID turning on the radio to hear stuff we’ve heard a million times before (even if it’s stuff we like.)
	12:06pm clarke: curation in what sense, Frank?
	12:06pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Michael, thanks for the link to the "Nick Lowe breaks down his live show" podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
	12:08pm Andrew S: I rewatched The Player and Short Cuts recently. The Player was really a terrific movie, the script is so good. Short Cuts was good too, not as good but very interesting. Had a really dark vibe
	12:08pm clarke: and since i am being honest here: i find i listen to WFMU a lot less during marathon than just regular times. but, that's just me.
	12:08pm Andrew S: I also watched buffalo bill and the indians the same recent altman weekend. Id somehow never seen that one
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: clarke, curation in the sense that here at FMU the DJs are choosing the content for their playlists. It's not overseen by a larger entity, and as a result, is usually not repetitive and certainly not beholden to advertising or other corporate interests.
	12:09pm Handy Haversack: Greenpoint Kendra! Stimulate the Station! Stimulate Michael Shelley! Wait ...
	12:09pm clarke: BB&I - haven't seen that in forevs... have to re-check
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There are things I've read about but never heard that I hear on WFMU - & that's magnificent enuff ! ...But the things I've heard & learned about for the 1st time here ?! There's simply no limit ! & it's continuous...
	12:10pm clarke: anyone made it all the way thru Brewster McCloud lately? not me.
	12:11pm Frank In Queens: I watched McCloud about a year ago. Quirky film. Dug the vibe, but it's definitely in the "unfulfilling" category of Altman films.
	12:12pm Andrew S: I liked it :) Id have Nashville and The Player at the top of my list by quite a bit
	12:12pm clarke: thanks, Frank - thought that you referring to film. totally agree with radio.
	12:12pm Hoboken Jack: Happy spring Michael, Ruth, Joe, Dennis, Therese, Baby, Frank, Handy, 126464, Spodes, all!
	12:13pm Ruth Booth: JACK!
	12:13pm clarke: nashville and mash -- don't stand up so well for me, either.
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: Well, short of TCM, I dont really think there's much film curation on TV these days. I long for the IFC of the 90s!
	12:13pm Andrew S: I think Michael has mentioned Nashville on this show iirc
	12:14pm Corey: Hello Michael, Dennis, and listeners! Enjoying hanging out with you all this morning/early afternoon. Concur with all the comments about the value of novelty on WFMU. It's like having dozens of good record stores in one in terms of music education for me. Especially valuable in a time when good record stores are scarce.
	12:14pm clarke: yes but TCM does a bang-up job!! (albeit, they've gotten more marketing conscious - blockbusters at prime time, etc)
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: IFC was WFMU for movies for me back in my late teens/early 20s. Now they show reruns of sitcoms you can seen on every other channel.
	12:17pm steveo: hammond guy didn't make the cover?
	12:17pm Andres: Any love for Gosford Park here? A less hectic and more involved ensemble. And funny.
	12:17pm clarke: yes IFC is the mtv of film ha ha
	12:18pm steveo: *Chris Foreman
	12:18pm clarke: MTV = no music HISTORY CHANNEL = no history
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: Andres, I saw GP once and that was when it first came out. I have to see it again.
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: Exactly, clarke.
	12:19pm spodiodi: aloha, Hoboken Jack!
	12:19pm clarke: IFC = no film!!!!
	12:20pm Sean: I am discovering Carl Hall at this very moment. WTF?
	12:21pm clarke: A&E = no A and very little E
	12:21pm Corey: Nice Time Is On My Side and tacos!
	12:22pm greg g: likewise Sean
	12:23pm Sean: Who's drumming on the Ray Conniff?
	12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More & more is owned by fewer & fewer - as in all things, so in Media. Music Culture is the canary in the coalmine... Because of such deregulation & acquisitions - our Culture has been controlled increasingly by lawyers & business hacks further & further removed from either Artists or Audience (us!)... & that was before the completely digital world already. Interwebz have revolutionized the Distribution - but destroyed the human Promotion - & replaced the Presentation with Robots. The original FM Radio revolution was the the higher quality sound passing from Classical to Freak Rawk Culture. & - more Local control. In the 1960s - Pop & (Commercial) Art had a new & special intercourse... Now - has been said there are no 'Local' stations anymore... WFMU is behind & ahead in miraculous & exceptional ways ...10 Xs what even the best of other stations are - @ probly (?) 1/10th the budget... As Brian in the UK's profile says: WFMU is radio that has grown up - behind a juvenile facade...
	12:24pm clarke: 55555555555555555!!
	12:24pm P-90: @RevRabN63: an item you’ll probably find interesting: https://pleasekillme.com/donovan-leitch/?fbclid=IwAR2z1_pLfADieP9zRc3PHQbsUiZLuPeNtz1X0KmBx0Ssk6X1vkQvm8ZUOYQ
	12:24pm Andrew S: Ive probably skipped over this ray conniff song 1000x in thrift stores over the yrs and never had the sense to buy it
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx P-90 !
	12:25pm lazy rider: Oh that voice makes me cringe..
	12:25pm Andres: What Andrew S said. The same. Wow!
	12:26pm Frank In Queens: How do I keep missing the pledge amount for the Grand Prize?! Can someone PLEASE tell me what it is?
	12:27pm spodiodi: Paso Robles has some delicious wine
	12:28pm G: SM Ken must be taking time off to be ready for Sunday! The marathon passed 85% during Billy Jam last night, and is at 88% now, but the frog tongue on the homepage is still stuck at 80%...
	12:28pm P-90: I’ve seen Pasa Robles. It’s beautiful. Also: paved roads everywhere.
	12:28pm PJ: What is the grand prize? It's helpful if that's posted somewhere on the page.
	12:28pm Joe B: the chat room highlight of 2020 for me was during Come To the Sunshine when Andrew was doing an Animals special and ... Hilton Valentine himself started chiming in on the comments!
	12:29pm McGroovey on the road: I arrived in Rochester ½-hour early. In case anyone is trying to find me. Bob Brainen and MS made good road tunes.
	12:29pm Ross T.: Mostly saved!
	12:29pm clarke: JB - how do you listend to CTTS in real time?
	12:30pm Joe B: @clarke - on the computer?
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: Jack!
	12:31pm clarke: i just make it for the podcast - not sure exactly what day and time the broadcast is (but probably don't have time anyway).
	12:32pm McGroovey on the road: I do know Jack.
	12:32pm mrmikestandsir: Longmont, Colorado also known to the locals as Bongmont.
	12:32pm Joe B: it's 6 to 8 pm. three hours after my show is over
	12:33pm Joe B: dennis is saying it right
	12:33pm DJ Johnny Cool: Thanks for the shout-out Dennis. Happy to support the mighty WFMU!!!
	12:33pm Andrew S: Ive been mispronouncing it all these years
	12:33pm sufferwords: Too Free Stoooooooges!!!!!
	12:33pm clarke: i ALWAYS listen to each podcast in entirety (multiple times) (it's the only podcast i listen to)
	12:33pm spodiodi: i agree w dennis and joe b on the pronunciation
	12:34pm GeorgeSimian: I'm a pledge for life. Been listening for at least 20 years. It was Michael Shelley that I first listened to. Remember him playing The Hollies, Air That I Breathe and then talk about it a little. I was hooked right away!
	12:35pm Tyler H: It's the Crayola factory that's in Easton. They are more colorful than M&Ms, but don't taste as good.
	12:35pm Pool: Michael - Your show is the tip toppest peak on a station with so many tall summits! Renewing my monthly pledge now on paper and will spin The Headboys' "My Favorite DJ" in your honor post-show!!! Hellos to Dennis too...
	12:36pm Andrew S: I started listening whenever the realplayer era was, around the turn of the century :)
	12:36pm marygidge: Duarte's for cherry pie and artichoke soup!
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Come to the Sunshine is beautiful - & generous with rarities & Mono mixes (&tc.) @ several hours ! His Artist Spotlights are keepers (speaking of podcasts)...
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: So many radio shows fall back on that "When I return your Rod McKuen book" trope!
	12:39pm clarke: the guy has a way with records.
	12:39pm Ramona: What's the name of the winery? It sounds awesome.
	12:39pm sufferwords: In 83 I lived at 5th Ave & 14th- only for six months but I could get FMU - even an L.A. corn dog knew it was like Janey in the Lou classic- I started dancing to that fine fine music etc.
	12:40pm clarke: Vines On The Marycrest i believe
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: @Ramona: vinesonthemarycrest.com
	12:40pm McGroovey on the road: I've been listening since 1989. The first shows I specifically remember are Bill Kelly and (I think) The Hound.
	12:40pm Joe B: M&M's plant is in Hackettstown NJ
	12:41pm Ramona: Thanks Handy!
	12:43pm ?: Pledge sent! Hi Michael and Dennis!
	12:43pm Michael 98145: Happy Spring, Friends 🌼
	12:44pm Ramona: Yes, happy Spring everyone!
	12:44pm clarke: brrr.....
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: Back atcha, Michael and all! May it be a MUCH better spring than the last one!
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Little Richard still makes my hair stand on end.
	12:46pm David Gilmour: Hey Michael & Dennis, pledge sent. First-time pledger! (at least for this century) Great show today, been listening since I got my first vaccine shot this morning.
	12:46pm SeanG: I get high!
	12:46pm Sean: I'n not that much of a Ray Conniff guy. But I've always dug The E.L.O. go Enoch! His Command Records is one of my favorite labels
	12:49pm P-90: hahahaha!
	12:49pm Jimmy Wipper: Hey Clarke! We're still doing our Rockford Files marathon and one of the best things I've seen in years (and especially this year) was watching Isaac Hayes and Lou Gossett beat up a bunch of literal Nazis in their club. After the beatdown, Lou gives them a dissertation on socio-economics!
	12:49pm Michael 98145: @Handy H AMEN!
	12:50pm GeorgeSimian: They should pledge because people who listen to WFMU, it's like all they listen to.
	12:50pm clarke: what u talkin' bout rockfish????
	12:50pm Joe B: "underwriting"
	12:51pm bob dublon Plasticland: seen dennis with Smithereens at billys old mill in Milwaukee..great drummer
	12:51pm clarke: you still got that rocktober thing goin' on?
	12:51pm GeorgeSimian: Commercials suck, but the actual shows and music are just commecials too.
	12:51pm Jimmy Wipper: I noticed the Rockford Files theme as one of the backing tunes on last week's show.
	12:52pm clarke: where ya been?!?
	12:52pm Jimmy Wipper: Here, always here.
	12:53pm clarke: i wanted to ask you about Cape Charles - go there much?
	12:53pm WaffleMix: Joe B. had a show or I think 2 of all 2020 music
	12:54pm Joe B: it was 2!
	12:54pm clarke: interested in those farmhouses down that way - looks intriguing.
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FMUvians - I have no income & cannot pledge @ this time. Not even a bank account to pledge now & pay later. Changes... When you pledge - you know you aren't just doing it for itself - you're doing it for addicts & stream sucking scrubs like me - & really for a whole Culture. Know that you are my Heroes ! So - when the winner of $700 of wine pops a cork - I hope they think of that if they want to ! & may you all enjoy your Prizes & Premiums with Pride & Joy thinking of it ! <3
	12:54pm Jimmy Wipper: I was going to ask you about the Outer Banks, haha. When was the last time you were there? I haven't been to Cape Charles in a while, but it's really nice up there.
	12:56pm clarke: i haven't been to nagshead in over a decade - but, liked it a lot. one gets spoiled living on cape cod, as far as beaches and privacy, etc.
	12:56pm Joe B: RR63 - please know that your support, listenership and presence on the boards is greatly appreciated!

	11:28am Handy Haversack: In the interest of spreading some pure joy, here's a recipe for baked ziti that listener Buffalo Bills Quarterback John Allen (I assume it's a nom de radio) shared. I made it, and it is the crowing glory of my cooking life. Maybe my entire life. We're still eating it. I made the sauce linked to in it, too. I tripled the garlic in that, made it half a tbs. of crushed red pepper, added another can of crushed tomatoes. Doubled the basil and oregano. For the ziti, I grated half the mozz and cubed half, added a little more shredded on the top. Also a layer of crushed red pepper on top of the noodles, before the sauce. Insanely good. After more than twenty years, I finally feel like I really live in Brooklyn! www.seriouseats.com... Great prize, Baby!
	11:29am P-90: “Shichael Melley is the winner”
	11:31am Listener Baby: Bill Bateman on drums on this one!

	11:35am Dano59: thanks for sharing your ziti success, @Handy! I have an overabundance of pasta here so .. it's a wonder I'm not bigger in the boo-hind
	11:36am Listener Baby: Honored to do it. Thanks to Station Manager Ken for letting us. Again. Honored.
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...go good with 700DOLLARS in wine...
	11:36am KrisB in Stirling: How do I get those fun icons by my name? I'm a swag for lifer!
	11:38am steveo: George whom I a share birthday with, along with certain WFMU dj...
	11:39am G: @KrisB -- contact Joe McGasko?
	11:40am P-90: Deke’s been thrilled lately to finally start getting out to play live for people again. As we’ve said here before, Deke Dickerson is an excellent follow on Facebook, well worth checking out. He recently posted about his collection of vintage “Xophonic” reverb boxes, and a fascinating remembrance of Dave Bunker, complete with photos of Dave’s groundbreaking experimental guitar designs.
	11:40am steveo: @krisB do you have a wfmu login? it might show up if you log in
	11:41am Handy Haversack: You're the best, Baby! @KrisB: They only show up if you're signed in on the web -- the app doesn't do it. To get the #1, you have to aim part of your S4L at Michael's show specifically. Which you can do by pledging at pledge.wfmu.org... Select what you want to devote to the show (up to your S4L limit, as long as you have not allocated it already), select "one time," ignore the swag stuff, select "bill me later." And you can just say in the office comments "aim $xx of my S4L at Michael Shelley." See wfmu.org...
	11:42am steveo: ah right, not the app... good catch Handy
	11:43am paddy in matawan: Wooowooo
	11:44am Joe B: The Chicks - New Zealand, 1965, never released in the US until this version!
	11:44am paddy in matawan: Just checking for my #1 and there it is! Just as @hamdy explains it all!
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Beatles For Sale the Yin in-between two Yang Movies... RubberSoul gets all the cred for FolkRawk - but they were already there !... Paul wrote Follow the Sun when he was a kid !...
	11:46am KrisB in Stirling: Thanks, everyone. I did pledge via the website and included Michael Shelley in my favorites. Will investigate further after finishing my taxes. WFMU is keeping me focused!
	11:46am Frank In Queens: Beatles For Sale is my fave from that era.
	11:46am clarke: For Sale has been my "official" fave (the british version of course) -- but, being honest with myself, when i was growing up it was Sgt. Pepper then VI
	11:47am phat: I think Beatles For Sale is still my favorite Beatles album. That period is the absolute best. I tend to prefer the first half of their career to the later period these days. I would totally listen to the Red album over the Blue album.
	11:47am Sean: Beatles for Sale I think is their most pivotal album. Almost half covers, did they ever record another cover after?
	11:47am gf2002: LOVE "Beatles For Sale", for me it's a favorite right up there with Revolver. And "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" has one of George's finest guitar solos. I think it was Geoff Emerick who said he played John's vocal intro to Mr. Moonlight over and over because it was so powerful
	11:47am Frank In Queens: I was partial to Beatles '65 when I was a kid.
	11:47am phat: What a goddamn chorus!
	11:48am Frank In Queens: Sean, Help has some covers.
	11:48am clarke: (because who had the brit versions in america in the 60's? not a lot of folks). (also, lately, i am VERY partial to Help!).
	11:48am P-90: Agreed, Beatles for Sale is a cornerstone, if not THE cornerstone.
	11:49am clarke: @Frank: these guys are busy slingin' the hash. we might have to start MovieTime w/o them?
	11:49am Joe B: @Frank - yes - Beatles 65 and Beatles VI!
	11:49am Frank In Queens: Could do, Clarke. I've got 2 weeks worth.
	11:50am clarke: shoot, kid!
	11:50am Sean: Thanks Frank, I understand they started recording HELP only a few weeks after finishing For Sale. To me that few weeks is the HUGE pivot,from Kansas City to the Ganges.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Robyn Hitchcock did a podcast about Beatles For Sale - thot it was My Favorite Album w/ Jeremy Dylan but I can't find it again... Made point they we're showing the Stines & Dylan effect already by then. Flipside of Beatlemania... Going digital & getting all the UK versions over here made all the difference! HardDay'sNight is perfect as an album...so on...
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Mono mix of 'Ticket to Ride' - check it...
	11:51am clarke: for myself, i finally saw Breakfast At Tiffany's for the first time. was pretty impressed with peppard's performance.
	11:52am Dennis Diken: I really am one who digs "Mr. Moonlight" - the vocal is searing!
	11:52am Frank In Queens: @Sean, which is pretty amazing considering that I believe Beatles For Sale was recorded with them feeling pretty spent from touring and not having enough time to write much; hence the abundance of covers.
	11:53am clarke: yes DD, MM is a fave - the saturation on those mics!! whooooo!!
	11:53am Andres: Me as a kid seeing Breakfasr at Tiffany’s: Why is Hannibal in this movie?
	11:53am Joe B: @Sean - i think about 4 months in between the recording dates. IIRC - For Sale ended October 1964, Help was started Feb 1965. but your point stands!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Actually maintain 'Mr.Moonlight' is protoRamones-like in its self-referential goofiness for a choice of cover. Lennon Vocal - obviously...
	11:54am Frank In Queens: Nice clarke, still haven't seen that one. Last week was Kansas City, The Wrong Man, and The Mystery Of The Wax Museum. This week has been I Shot Jesse James, Election, Broadcast News.
	11:55am clarke: peppard plays that role PERFECTLY!! i "liked" the film, but it has flaws. The Wrong Man -- MAN!!!
	11:56am gf2002: "Beatles For Sale" is heavy on John's originals, I think it shows he was on a self-doubting songwriting roll while Paul had to dip back to 1958 for one of his sunny originals. And John's songs on the album have a darker theme than what had come before, and showed what was to come with "Help" and "Ticket To Ride", dark themes and self doubt
	11:56am Frank In Queens: It took my two tries to really enjoy The Wrong Man. It was a very frustrating initial watch.
	11:56am clarke: THAT might be the strangest hitch flick??
	11:57am Andres: Frank In Queens: Curious if you got around to John Sayle’s Secret of Roan Inish?
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: gf2002 spot on.
	11:57am Listener Baby: We’ve got Uber and Paved roads too.
	11:57am Frank In Queens: Andres, I still haven't but it's definitely on the list.
	11:58am clarke: frustrating is a good description. but, fonda is f'n great, and it shines thru.
	11:58am P-90: It can easily cost 50-60 bucks just to ship a case of wine in the U.S. More overseas.
	11:58am Frank In Queens: Indeed clarke.
	11:58am clarke: i hear hank was not too fond of hitch??
	11:59am Frank In Queens: Well, they only worked together once.
	11:59am clarke: yeah. i don't know what Kansas City is??
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: It's a 1996 Robert Altman film. Ensemble cast.
	12:00pm clarke: ah.
	12:01pm clarke: and your take on it?
	12:02pm Handy Haversack: As listener fred says: I listen to WFMU to like what I hear, not to hear what I like.
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: It was good, albeit a little unfulfilling. But that's how I largely feel about Altman's work aside from MASH.
	12:02pm myron feld: Dennis, "Peace Frog" is great -- how many other songs mention New Haven? Blood, of course, not pizza, but still....
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: Curation is what's missing from media today.
	12:03pm clarke: yes, i have not lately been so big on the altman thang. i haven't seen The Player in a while, but it is his most succinct work. you recently saw that.
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: Oh ye, The Player. I liked that one as well.
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: I have told this story before, but I was listening to Suzy Hotrod with a friend, and his partner came home and thought it was too staticky and put on a Spotify rockabilly channel(? I don't know how it works). I went from discovering new artists and new tracks with every change to knowing and having heard a million times every song that came on. Sad. Trom. Bone.
	12:04pm PERSONATOR from Highland Park NJ: I agree I discovered Joe frank here. Love it! And I heard for the first time “ I’m a no brow!” “Not a high brow but a low brow!” And I heard SUICIDE on here for the first time!
	12:05pm P-90: Some of us are desperate to AVOID turning on the radio to hear stuff we’ve heard a million times before (even if it’s stuff we like.)
	12:06pm clarke: curation in what sense, Frank?
	12:06pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Michael, thanks for the link to the "Nick Lowe breaks down his live show" podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
	12:08pm Andrew S: I rewatched The Player and Short Cuts recently. The Player was really a terrific movie, the script is so good. Short Cuts was good too, not as good but very interesting. Had a really dark vibe
	12:08pm clarke: and since i am being honest here: i find i listen to WFMU a lot less during marathon than just regular times. but, that's just me.
	12:08pm Andrew S: I also watched buffalo bill and the indians the same recent altman weekend. Id somehow never seen that one
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: clarke, curation in the sense that here at FMU the DJs are choosing the content for their playlists. It's not overseen by a larger entity, and as a result, is usually not repetitive and certainly not beholden to advertising or other corporate interests.
	12:09pm Handy Haversack: Greenpoint Kendra! Stimulate the Station! Stimulate Michael Shelley! Wait ...
	12:09pm clarke: BB&I - haven't seen that in forevs... have to re-check
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There are things I've read about but never heard that I hear on WFMU - & that's magnificent enuff ! ...But the things I've heard & learned about for the 1st time here ?! There's simply no limit ! & it's continuous...
	12:10pm clarke: anyone made it all the way thru Brewster McCloud lately? not me.
	12:11pm Frank In Queens: I watched McCloud about a year ago. Quirky film. Dug the vibe, but it's definitely in the "unfulfilling" category of Altman films.
	12:12pm Andrew S: I liked it :) Id have Nashville and The Player at the top of my list by quite a bit
	12:12pm clarke: thanks, Frank - thought that you referring to film. totally agree with radio.
	12:12pm Hoboken Jack: Happy spring Michael, Ruth, Joe, Dennis, Therese, Baby, Frank, Handy, 126464, Spodes, all!
	12:13pm Ruth Booth: JACK!
	12:13pm clarke: nashville and mash -- don't stand up so well for me, either.
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: Well, short of TCM, I dont really think there's much film curation on TV these days. I long for the IFC of the 90s!
	12:13pm Andrew S: I think Michael has mentioned Nashville on this show iirc
	12:14pm Corey: Hello Michael, Dennis, and listeners! Enjoying hanging out with you all this morning/early afternoon. Concur with all the comments about the value of novelty on WFMU. It's like having dozens of good record stores in one in terms of music education for me. Especially valuable in a time when good record stores are scarce.
	12:14pm clarke: yes but TCM does a bang-up job!! (albeit, they've gotten more marketing conscious - blockbusters at prime time, etc)
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: IFC was WFMU for movies for me back in my late teens/early 20s. Now they show reruns of sitcoms you can seen on every other channel.
	12:17pm steveo: hammond guy didn't make the cover?
	12:17pm Andres: Any love for Gosford Park here? A less hectic and more involved ensemble. And funny.
	12:17pm clarke: yes IFC is the mtv of film ha ha
	12:18pm steveo: *Chris Foreman
	12:18pm clarke: MTV = no music HISTORY CHANNEL = no history
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: Andres, I saw GP once and that was when it first came out. I have to see it again.
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: Exactly, clarke.
	12:19pm spodiodi: aloha, Hoboken Jack!
	12:19pm clarke: IFC = no film!!!!
	12:20pm Sean: I am discovering Carl Hall at this very moment. WTF?
	12:21pm clarke: A&E = no A and very little E
	12:21pm Corey: Nice Time Is On My Side and tacos!
	12:22pm greg g: likewise Sean
	12:23pm Sean: Who's drumming on the Ray Conniff?
	12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More & more is owned by fewer & fewer - as in all things, so in Media. Music Culture is the canary in the coalmine... Because of such deregulation & acquisitions - our Culture has been controlled increasingly by lawyers & business hacks further & further removed from either Artists or Audience (us!)... & that was before the completely digital world already. Interwebz have revolutionized the Distribution - but destroyed the human Promotion - & replaced the Presentation with Robots. The original FM Radio revolution was the the higher quality sound passing from Classical to Freak Rawk Culture. & - more Local control. In the 1960s - Pop & (Commercial) Art had a new & special intercourse... Now - has been said there are no 'Local' stations anymore... WFMU is behind & ahead in miraculous & exceptional ways ...10 Xs what even the best of other stations are - @ probly (?) 1/10th the budget... As Brian in the UK's profile says: WFMU is radio that has grown up - behind a juvenile facade...
	12:24pm clarke: 55555555555555555!!
	12:24pm P-90: @RevRabN63: an item you’ll probably find interesting: https://pleasekillme.com/donovan-leitch/?fbclid=IwAR2z1_pLfADieP9zRc3PHQbsUiZLuPeNtz1X0KmBx0Ssk6X1vkQvm8ZUOYQ
	12:24pm Andrew S: Ive probably skipped over this ray conniff song 1000x in thrift stores over the yrs and never had the sense to buy it
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx P-90 !
	12:25pm lazy rider: Oh that voice makes me cringe..
	12:25pm Andres: What Andrew S said. The same. Wow!
	12:26pm Frank In Queens: How do I keep missing the pledge amount for the Grand Prize?! Can someone PLEASE tell me what it is?
	12:27pm spodiodi: Paso Robles has some delicious wine
	12:28pm G: SM Ken must be taking time off to be ready for Sunday! The marathon passed 85% during Billy Jam last night, and is at 88% now, but the frog tongue on the homepage is still stuck at 80%...
	12:28pm P-90: I’ve seen Pasa Robles. It’s beautiful. Also: paved roads everywhere.
	12:28pm PJ: What is the grand prize? It's helpful if that's posted somewhere on the page.
	12:28pm Joe B: the chat room highlight of 2020 for me was during Come To the Sunshine when Andrew was doing an Animals special and ... Hilton Valentine himself started chiming in on the comments!
	12:29pm McGroovey on the road: I arrived in Rochester ½-hour early. In case anyone is trying to find me. Bob Brainen and MS made good road tunes.
	12:29pm Ross T.: Mostly saved!
	12:29pm clarke: JB - how do you listend to CTTS in real time?
	12:30pm Joe B: @clarke - on the computer?
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: Jack!
	12:31pm clarke: i just make it for the podcast - not sure exactly what day and time the broadcast is (but probably don't have time anyway).
	12:32pm McGroovey on the road: I do know Jack.
	12:32pm mrmikestandsir: Longmont, Colorado also known to the locals as Bongmont.
	12:32pm Joe B: it's 6 to 8 pm. three hours after my show is over
	12:33pm Joe B: dennis is saying it right
	12:33pm DJ Johnny Cool: Thanks for the shout-out Dennis. Happy to support the mighty WFMU!!!
	12:33pm Andrew S: Ive been mispronouncing it all these years
	12:33pm sufferwords: Too Free Stoooooooges!!!!!
	12:33pm clarke: i ALWAYS listen to each podcast in entirety (multiple times) (it's the only podcast i listen to)
	12:33pm spodiodi: i agree w dennis and joe b on the pronunciation
	12:34pm GeorgeSimian: I'm a pledge for life. Been listening for at least 20 years. It was Michael Shelley that I first listened to. Remember him playing The Hollies, Air That I Breathe and then talk about it a little. I was hooked right away!
	12:35pm Tyler H: It's the Crayola factory that's in Easton. They are more colorful than M&Ms, but don't taste as good.
	12:35pm Pool: Michael - Your show is the tip toppest peak on a station with so many tall summits! Renewing my monthly pledge now on paper and will spin The Headboys' "My Favorite DJ" in your honor post-show!!! Hellos to Dennis too...
	12:36pm Andrew S: I started listening whenever the realplayer era was, around the turn of the century :)
	12:36pm marygidge: Duarte's for cherry pie and artichoke soup!
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Come to the Sunshine is beautiful - & generous with rarities & Mono mixes (&tc.) @ several hours ! His Artist Spotlights are keepers (speaking of podcasts)...
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: So many radio shows fall back on that "When I return your Rod McKuen book" trope!
	12:39pm clarke: the guy has a way with records.
	12:39pm Ramona: What's the name of the winery? It sounds awesome.
	12:39pm sufferwords: In 83 I lived at 5th Ave & 14th- only for six months but I could get FMU - even an L.A. corn dog knew it was like Janey in the Lou classic- I started dancing to that fine fine music etc.
	12:40pm clarke: Vines On The Marycrest i believe
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: @Ramona: vinesonthemarycrest.com
	12:40pm McGroovey on the road: I've been listening since 1989. The first shows I specifically remember are Bill Kelly and (I think) The Hound.
	12:40pm Joe B: M&M's plant is in Hackettstown NJ
	12:41pm Ramona: Thanks Handy!
	12:43pm ?: Pledge sent! Hi Michael and Dennis!
	12:43pm Michael 98145: Happy Spring, Friends 🌼
	12:44pm Ramona: Yes, happy Spring everyone!
	12:44pm clarke: brrr.....
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: Back atcha, Michael and all! May it be a MUCH better spring than the last one!
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Little Richard still makes my hair stand on end.
	12:46pm David Gilmour: Hey Michael & Dennis, pledge sent. First-time pledger! (at least for this century) Great show today, been listening since I got my first vaccine shot this morning.
	12:46pm SeanG: I get high!
	12:46pm Sean: I'n not that much of a Ray Conniff guy. But I've always dug The E.L.O. go Enoch! His Command Records is one of my favorite labels
	12:49pm P-90: hahahaha!
	12:49pm Jimmy Wipper: Hey Clarke! We're still doing our Rockford Files marathon and one of the best things I've seen in years (and especially this year) was watching Isaac Hayes and Lou Gossett beat up a bunch of literal Nazis in their club. After the beatdown, Lou gives them a dissertation on socio-economics!
	12:49pm Michael 98145: @Handy H AMEN!
	12:50pm GeorgeSimian: They should pledge because people who listen to WFMU, it's like all they listen to.
	12:50pm clarke: what u talkin' bout rockfish????
	12:50pm Joe B: "underwriting"
	12:51pm bob dublon Plasticland: seen dennis with Smithereens at billys old mill in Milwaukee..great drummer
	12:51pm clarke: you still got that rocktober thing goin' on?
	12:51pm GeorgeSimian: Commercials suck, but the actual shows and music are just commecials too.
	12:51pm Jimmy Wipper: I noticed the Rockford Files theme as one of the backing tunes on last week's show.
	12:52pm clarke: where ya been?!?
	12:52pm Jimmy Wipper: Here, always here.
	12:53pm clarke: i wanted to ask you about Cape Charles - go there much?
	12:53pm WaffleMix: Joe B. had a show or I think 2 of all 2020 music
	12:54pm Joe B: it was 2!
	12:54pm clarke: interested in those farmhouses down that way - looks intriguing.
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FMUvians - I have no income & cannot pledge @ this time. Not even a bank account to pledge now & pay later. Changes... When you pledge - you know you aren't just doing it for itself - you're doing it for addicts & stream sucking scrubs like me - & really for a whole Culture. Know that you are my Heroes ! So - when the winner of $700 of wine pops a cork - I hope they think of that if they want to ! & may you all enjoy your Prizes & Premiums with Pride & Joy thinking of it ! <3
	12:54pm Jimmy Wipper: I was going to ask you about the Outer Banks, haha. When was the last time you were there? I haven't been to Cape Charles in a while, but it's really nice up there.
	12:56pm clarke: i haven't been to nagshead in over a decade - but, liked it a lot. one gets spoiled living on cape cod, as far as beaches and privacy, etc.
	12:56pm Joe B: RR63 - please know that your support, listenership and presence on the boards is greatly appreciated!
	12:56pm Mister Dobalina: Handy, you makin' it rain again?
	12:57pm clarke: one thing that's nice about outer banks is they won't allow any HI-RISE buildings.
	12:57pm Jimmy Wipper: I had a feeling it had been a while because it's not what it used to be down there. It's all strip malls now! We actually spent a lot of the pandemic doing drives into small towns in NC and VA. Come up sometime! We could go to Uzzle's Downunder.
	12:57pm GFaulkner: Thanks for the shout-out, guys!
	12:58pm clarke: yikes!!!!!! yes down-under is NEEDED!!!
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab, part of my stimulus is going to the station in your honor! You are such a vibrant and thoughtful listener and a real part of my WFMU enjoyment. Please hit me up through the e-mail I sent you through the profiles so I can get your address!
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: And thanks, Michael, Dennis, Ruth, and all! Way to Marathon!
	12:59pm Jimmy Wipper: Maybe our host can facilitate it.
	12:59pm clarke: SADLY this is the case with america! most of it, anyway.
