	👻 3:16pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Mariano and Gaylord!
	3:16pm Creature Boy: Todd this Eddie C must b off that Lenny Kaye collection. Why does that thing sound so good?
	3:17pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Todd, was Eddie Cochran from Downey or Lakewood?
	3:17pm Gerry from Miami: Isn't "Let's Get Together" just a clone of "C'mon Everybody?"
	3:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Francisco Twinkie: I know he wasn't from Downey.
	3:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gerry from Miami: I think it was an earlier version.
	3:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Creature Boy: Correct! As immortalized in Stephen King's "The Shining" novel. Yes, such a classic collection...
	3:19pm mariano: Wussup, Hoboken Jack!
	3:20pm Creature Boy: Oh wow , what a great excuse to read the Shining

	3:21pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Loving this set babe

	3:27pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Jack and Ruth!
	3:28pm Franco Twinkie: True that Gerry, But freeway close to the Bell Brand potato chip factory. I think that deserves some sort of consideration.

	3:31pm Cousin Itt: Todd, Play me some POW POW POW for my trip to heaven. Felix
	3:32pm Franco Twinkie: We use to drive by Bell Brands on the 605 going to the beach. The air always smelled really good around there.
	3:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Smithereens !
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: Hey....this sounds familiar!
	3:33pm MonicaC: Ha. If I had a nickel for every time I got asked those questions.
	3:34pm Dennis Diken: handclaps by Andy Schwartz on “Some Other Guy”!
	3:35pm Handy Haversack: Great stuff, Dennis!
	3:36pm Mr C: I’m heading to Kearny.!
	👻 3:36pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Dennis, McGroove, Cheryl, MFlynn!
	👻 3:36pm MFlynn: Kearny, who’d of thought?
	3:36pm Dennis Diken: Thanks Handy!
	👻 3:37pm MFlynn: Hey Jack!
	3:37pm Robm: @Handy how was dinner out with kate last night?
	3:38pm Dennis Diken: ‘ello Jack!
	3:38pm Dungaroos Kipawah: I’m late to the start today but re the great Johnnie Allan, I just heard his version of “I Knew the Bride” & it’s pretty fantastic, too & a perfect fit. Floyd Soileau’s shop has 45s available on the cheap, too.
	3:39pm Victrola Tom: What’s up cool kids?
	3:40pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Dungaroos Kipawah: Please request my Johnnie Allan story the next time our paths cross...which would of course be the first time in quite awhile.
	3:41pm Handy Haversack: Magically weird, Robm! We didn't do a single dish! And we paid too much for drinks! Hey hey, Dungaroos K! Playing poker right now with Rob from Bar 81 days.
	👻 3:41pm MFlynn: Off a cassette! Sounds great to boot.
	3:42pm listener 126464: In Kearny to visit Mom on Sunday's.
	3:43pm Robm: @Handy that’s good and was there doggy bags to take home?
	3:44pm medson: Dig it.
	👻 3:44pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Tom and 126464!
	3:44pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Robm, yeah! Because we had to restrain ourselves from ordering everything!
	3:45pm Franco Twinkie: That reminds me, we're out of coffee! Thanks Todd!
	3:48pm Dennis Diken: Yay Barrence & Savages!
	3:48pm bigplanetnoise: HowdyHowdyTodd!!
	3:49pm paul: Sorry to hear about Lew Lewis. Did he die of cancer?
	👻 3:50pm MFlynn: It’s so great that the Fleshtones are still rockin after all these years
	3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HolySmokes - Savages channeling Sonics - & Fleshtones touching MC5ness ...this Medicine is workin' Todd...
	3:51pm StringOFperils: Peter Zaremba is unstoppable.
	3:51pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks heaps, Todd! Let's hope you and I get to see decade number six of the Fleshtones very soon!
	3:52pm Jett: The Fleshtones are the band I've seen the most times live.
	3:52pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @Todd: I can’t wait
	3:53pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @Handy: Hey hey! Hey Rob! Poker & good tunes, sounds like paradise
	3:54pm McGroovey: Dennis should make an album called Dennis Plays With Everybody. Or maybe the X plays with everybody thing is overused? I dunno.
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: get me...I’m a hero! Thanks Todd!!
	👻 3:55pm MFlynn: Man, Ducks was so good!!
	3:55pm Dave: A fantastico hour of radio! Keep 'em coming!
	3:56pm McGroovey: Cowbell! The sign of a classic!
	3:57pm paul: Was Martin ever a member of Brinsley Schwarz?
	3:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @paul: Martin used to roadie for The Brinsleys! Brinsley Schwarz himself played some foreign shows as a member of Ducks Deluxe and then of course Martin & Brinsley were bandmates in The Rumour.
	3:58pm Victrola Tom: What a lovely Ducks song that was!
	4:00pm paul: Thanks, @Todd! I knew there had to be some kind of connection.
	4:01pm Gaylord Fields: Ducks Deluxe: The Beatles of Pub Rock!!!
	4:01pm David Shortell: When I saw the Split Squad play with Stupidity at the Saint in Asbury Park four years ago, Stupidity's drummer told me that Keith Streng was moving to Stockholm. I feared that spelled the end of the Fleshtones, but evidently not.
	4:03pm McGroovey: I love Please Please Please. I have first DD album, but I obviously need more. More people should cover their songs.
	4:05pm Franco Twinkie: When people talk about most bands I never saw, for the most part I just shrug, unless it's The Fleshtones. You lucky pups!
	👻 4:05pm MFlynn: Always liked “Loves’s melody”
	4:05pm Franco Twinkie: Them and The Raybeats.
	4:06pm Claudia Lily: YES!!! Love's Melody!!!
	4:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Franco Twinkie: You may get your chance yet with The Fleshtones!
	4:07pm Gaylord Fields: Another great thing about Ducks Deluxe: They had four very strong songwriters, coupled with impeccable taste in covers! They should have been rock gods!!!
	4:08pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Claudia Lily: great tune! @Gaylord Fields: great point!
	4:08pm Gaylord Fields: I'm gonna pull a Hoboken Jack and say, "Hi, Claudia Lily!"
	👻 4:08pm MFlynn: You’re right Gaylord. Should have gotten so much more attention than they did.
	4:09pm Claudia Lily: Hi Gaylord!!!!!! :D
	4:09pm listener 126464: Hi everyone, hello Todd, cheers Hoboken Jack!
	4:09pm Ross T.: Saw GP and the Rumour in '79 in Boston (the Paradise?). Along with the songs the guitar players were the stars for me (well, and the whole band). I loved the contrast between the two -- Brinsley in like a pressed suit and spectacles intensley focused; Martin looking like he had just rolled out of bed with a beer and cigarette and rollicking about. They were amazing.
	4:09pm Gaylord Fields: MFlynn: I know that excellent bands that flopped are a dime a dozen, but this one is a head scratcher.
	4:10pm Vertual: Back in the 90s i went to a Fleshtones show at a bar in Florida on a Monday night - it was poorly promoted and maybe a dozen of us showed up...but the way they played you'd think it was a sell out.
	4:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Ross T: Wish I had been there!
	4:11pm Will C: Holy Sixteen Blue!
	4:11pm Dave in SoDak: I received a gift from an old girlfriend in Seattle in '86 - a boot of an EC & Attractions live show (sounded like King Biscuit). Vintage '79. Steve Naive had broken his arm or something so they had Marty Belmont fill in. Didn't miss a beat. Frantic and truly awesome.
	4:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gaylord Fields: I think they might have fared better had they come out a year or two later and been on Stiff or Chiswick instead of RCA.
	4:11pm Ross T.: Todd -- one of my top 5 shows definitely -- Sparks had just been released and they were on fire. I actually stumbled on the gig -- just happened to be visiting an ex in Beantown (another story).
	4:13pm WM: @Franco Twinkie: I did hear the Fleshtones when they own a battle of the bands that included the Nervus Rex and the Zantees at NYU Lobe Student Center. As I remember, the Fleshtones won.
	👻 4:15pm MFlynn: I remember being at that NYU battle of the bands show too thanks to Todd.
	4:15pm zivilars: Fantastic show as always, Todd ... Thanks for every Saturday's show!
	4:15pm WM: Please excuse the typo "when they won."
	4:15pm Gaylord Fields: Todd, that is a great point! They would have done so well with a Dave Robinson or Jake Riviera making a fuss for them.
	4:16pm David Shortell: The Fleshtones headlined a show at the Brighton Bar 12 years ago where most of the audience left after the Ribeye Brothers played, alas.
	4:17pm Peter Kaprelian: He couldve said "my baby is done," it wouldve actually rhymed.
	4:23pm Tim from LH: Martin is a very nice chap. He and Brinsley hung out in the lobby at The Newton Theater for at least a half hour with all the fans after the first GP & The Rumour reunion.
	4:24pm Gaylord Fields: @Peter Kaprelian: It did rhyme when the Louvin Brothers wrote and sang it.
	4:25pm mariano: GenesEs!
	👻 4:34pm MFlynn: Kingsley Ward filled in when Dave didn’t show! Haha
	4:38pm MonicaC: Gram Parker and the Rumour were so tight.
	4:38pm Ross T.: Love this song -- that's a groove.
	4:39pm Claudia Lily: I want to hear that song about Pensacola, I like it for vacation but I can't imagine any rock'n'rollers romanticizing that place. haha
	4:40pm medson: Great interview so far.
	4:40pm marpay: HI Todd - lurking and dropped in to hang out, and glad to have such good company♥
	4:40pm Fredericks: Graham Parker & the Rumour brought to mind Springsteen. I asked myself what the connecting thread was. I answered: Van Morrison.
	4:41pm Mike Sin: Great interview! In the US, the “Dont Mind Rockin Tonight” album was the easiest way to get an overview of the band. That LP was a staple of used bins in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
	4:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Claudia Lily: Like Martin says...it's a fantasy!
	4:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Fredericks: You nailed it!
	👻 4:42pm MFlynn: “Heat Treatment” was such a great album!!!
	4:42pm AS from MP: Lew Lewis Reformer (looking back an hour ago) recorded on Stiff Records
	4:43pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Mike Sin: Strange thing that compilation even came out...I guess RCA somehow thought they could capitalize on the subsequent success of some people involved in that scene.
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In other words - the Pub was not the Arena ? It was Rawk up-close on Saturday again, maybe ?
	4:48pm Barkevious Shabazz: Listen, I ain't a pet.
	4:48pm Gaylord Fields: A token hipster for your monopoly set.
	4:48pm Barkevious Shabazz: Luv this revved up vers.
	4:49pm Joe B: does graham parker have the record for being on the most major labels? at least, being on the most and complaining about the most!
	4:51pm slugluv1313: "Fool's Gold" one of the most beautiful, heartfelt songs EVER <3 <3 <3 greetings, Todd and Skeletons and Everyone! just tuning in now, bummer i missed so much of the show (thank goodness for WFMU archives!) saw Graham Parker and The Rumour numerous times way back when -- amazing shows and i gotta look, but i think i still have this "Mercury Poisoning" 45 -- iirc, it is on blue vinyl, and you had to cut some number/code off the LP cover, mail it in, and you got the 45 mailed to you
	4:53pm Barkevious Shabazz: The GP&TR live reunion video a few yrs back was pretty aces.
	4:53pm Fredericks: I wish that guitar didn't have that effect on it. Not a bad sound, but it dates it.
	4:53pm Steady Eddie: Just wondering if Martin played on any Kirsty MaCColl records?
	4:54pm DG: slugluv: Yes, you had to cut that off the cover & send away to Arista (or some affiliated co.) & you got a 7inch 33 1/3 single of "Mercury Poisoning" with "I Want You Back" on the other side. I think I picked mine up in the Village though.
	4:55pm PJ: XTC were on a lot of different labels in the US (Virgin US, RSO, Epic, Geffen, TVT) and Andy Partridge complained about every one of them, but GP has them beat (Mercury, Arista, Atlantic, RCA, Razor & Tie, Bloodshot, Universal) by a few labels.
	4:56pm DG: ...and I assume the version of "Mercury Poisoning" we just heard was from the "Live Sparks" album, not the single.
	4:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: "I've got Arista-ritis!" "I've got RCAIDS!" etc.
	4:56pm Joe B: @PJ - GP was also on Elektra for one record!
	4:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Correct @DG...my bad!
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joe Strummer perhaps the most obvious Venn overlap in the PubRawk / Punk transition... if not the entire Stiff label...
	4:57pm Joe B: @Stewady Eddie - at least one live album
	4:57pm pgalub: I DON'T got Universal... Healthcare. ;)
	4:57pm PJ: @Joe B: I knew I'd missed one!
	4:57pm Joe B: ha exactly Gaylord!
	4:58pm Gaylord Fields: @pgalub: Hahahaha!!! [tips hat]
	4:59pm Bryant in TO: @RevRabbit Yeah, Elgin Avenue Breakdown was my gateway to pub rock
	4:59pm Barkevious Shabazz: EFD played Emotional Traffic a few months back. Sounded purty good.
	4:59pm Joe B: GP also had one or two on Capitol - burning questions, maybe one other ...
	5:00pm Ross T.: EMI!!!
	5:00pm listener 126464: Pick To Click
	5:00pm DG: Yes, the Elektra album (Steady Nerves, there's also a non-LP b-side) is pretty good, the 2 RCA ones are even better (he also did a solo live album on RCA). Never made an album for Atlantic, although he was signed to them.
	5:00pm McGroovey: Huh. I didn't think of Frozen Years as being a standout track on that album. For me, it's Emotional Traffic. I wasn't a WPIX listener.
	5:00pm PJ: Just checked the internet - that GP Elektra LP, Steady Nerves, had his only US Top 40 single, "Wake Up (Next to You)". If only he'd used parentheses in the titles of his other singles, he might have had a few more hits.
	5:01pm Ross T.: Graham's RCA albums are very overlooked in my opinion -- particularly "Struck by Lightning".
	5:01pm Joe B: agreed Ross
	5:02pm Ross T.: : )
	5:06pm Michael Shelley: Loving this!
	5:08pm Vertual: This is such a treat.
	5:10pm slugluv1313: @DG -- ahh so my brain is not totally shot -- thanks!
	👻 5:10pm MFlynn: I’m loving every minute of this! Thank you Todd.
	5:12pm McGroovey: I love the first two Parkerless Rumour albums. The third one has never grabbed me.
	5:12pm Tim from LH: The Rumour also backed up Garland Jeffries after GP left them.
	👻 5:13pm Micheal: Fantastic interview, thanks. I blew off my senior prom to see GP and the Rumour at Lupo's in Providence in '79, right after Squeezing Out Sparks came out. They were total pros and put on a good show. It was worth ditching the prom.
	5:14pm phat in Lincoln: Love this interview.
	5:14pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Michael: Sounds like you have better memories of the show than you likely would have of the prom.
	👻 5:18pm Micheal: @Todd-o-phonic Todd: Without a doubt. Thanks for the interview!
	5:19pm Ross T.: At my senior prom some stoner hired a prog band to play -- second set everyone was gone.
	5:21pm Andrew in Toronto: That was fantastic Todd!
	5:21pm Will C: Amazing interview Todd!
	5:22pm medson: Such a great interview. Hot Damn
	5:22pm Ross T.: Could listen to a few more hours of that. Thank you!
	👻 5:22pm Hoboken Jack: Really sounds like a sweet guy. Thanks Todd!
	5:22pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Andrew and Will and everyone else who chimed in about the interview!
	5:22pm AS from MP: What a nice man -
	5:22pm marpay: Wow, great interview - Thank you Todd!
	5:22pm Miles: u just broke my stereophone!
	👻 5:22pm MFlynn: That was a blast Todd. Thanks so much for sharing that conversation with us all.
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Your Interviews indeed a Thing all their own !
	5:24pm Victrola Tom: Mr Belmont was quite the gentleman. Well done Mr O’Phonic!
	5:25pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Tom!
	5:25pm Ross T.: Michael had Al Jardine and Todd Martin Belmont -- guess I'm the demographic!
	5:26pm eric from lake hiawatha: Revealing conversation. Then you throw Jailhouse Rock up for us to not only tap our toes but to think of the history. Well done Todd
	5:27pm medson: Good thing Florida wasn’t abbreviated FL when this song was written
	5:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @medson: Great point! You should have your own show!
	5:29pm David Shortell: NJ skins Niblick Henbane did an Oi version of "Tallahassie Lassie".
	5:31pm Corey: That interview exceeded already high expectations. Inspired lots of new listening and revisiting old favorites. Thanks TOPT!
	5:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: Rockin' show.
	5:33pm phat in Lincoln: In case anybody needed a reminder that the Saints could be the greatest rock n roll band ever

	3:17pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Todd, was Eddie Cochran from Downey or Lakewood?
	3:17pm Gerry from Miami: Isn't "Let's Get Together" just a clone of "C'mon Everybody?"
	3:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Francisco Twinkie: I know he wasn't from Downey.
	3:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gerry from Miami: I think it was an earlier version.
	3:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Creature Boy: Correct! As immortalized in Stephen King's "The Shining" novel. Yes, such a classic collection...

	3:35pm Handy Haversack: Great stuff, Dennis!
	3:36pm Mr C: I’m heading to Kearny.!
	👻 3:36pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Dennis, McGroove, Cheryl, MFlynn!
	👻 3:36pm MFlynn: Kearny, who’d of thought?
	3:36pm Dennis Diken: Thanks Handy!
	👻 3:37pm MFlynn: Hey Jack!
	3:37pm Robm: @Handy how was dinner out with kate last night?
	3:38pm Dennis Diken: ‘ello Jack!
	3:38pm Dungaroos Kipawah: I’m late to the start today but re the great Johnnie Allan, I just heard his version of “I Knew the Bride” & it’s pretty fantastic, too & a perfect fit. Floyd Soileau’s shop has 45s available on the cheap, too.
	3:39pm Victrola Tom: What’s up cool kids?
	3:40pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Dungaroos Kipawah: Please request my Johnnie Allan story the next time our paths cross...which would of course be the first time in quite awhile.
	3:41pm Handy Haversack: Magically weird, Robm! We didn't do a single dish! And we paid too much for drinks! Hey hey, Dungaroos K! Playing poker right now with Rob from Bar 81 days.
	👻 3:41pm MFlynn: Off a cassette! Sounds great to boot.
	3:42pm listener 126464: In Kearny to visit Mom on Sunday's.
	3:43pm Robm: @Handy that’s good and was there doggy bags to take home?
	3:44pm medson: Dig it.
	👻 3:44pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Tom and 126464!
	3:44pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Robm, yeah! Because we had to restrain ourselves from ordering everything!
	3:45pm Franco Twinkie: That reminds me, we're out of coffee! Thanks Todd!
	3:48pm Dennis Diken: Yay Barrence & Savages!
	3:48pm bigplanetnoise: HowdyHowdyTodd!!
	3:49pm paul: Sorry to hear about Lew Lewis. Did he die of cancer?
	👻 3:50pm MFlynn: It’s so great that the Fleshtones are still rockin after all these years
	3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HolySmokes - Savages channeling Sonics - & Fleshtones touching MC5ness ...this Medicine is workin' Todd...
	3:51pm StringOFperils: Peter Zaremba is unstoppable.
	3:51pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks heaps, Todd! Let's hope you and I get to see decade number six of the Fleshtones very soon!
	3:52pm Jett: The Fleshtones are the band I've seen the most times live.
	3:52pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @Todd: I can’t wait
	3:53pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @Handy: Hey hey! Hey Rob! Poker & good tunes, sounds like paradise
	3:54pm McGroovey: Dennis should make an album called Dennis Plays With Everybody. Or maybe the X plays with everybody thing is overused? I dunno.
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: get me...I’m a hero! Thanks Todd!!
	👻 3:55pm MFlynn: Man, Ducks was so good!!
	3:55pm Dave: A fantastico hour of radio! Keep 'em coming!
	3:56pm McGroovey: Cowbell! The sign of a classic!
	3:57pm paul: Was Martin ever a member of Brinsley Schwarz?
	3:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @paul: Martin used to roadie for The Brinsleys! Brinsley Schwarz himself played some foreign shows as a member of Ducks Deluxe and then of course Martin & Brinsley were bandmates in The Rumour.
	3:58pm Victrola Tom: What a lovely Ducks song that was!
	4:00pm paul: Thanks, @Todd! I knew there had to be some kind of connection.
	4:01pm Gaylord Fields: Ducks Deluxe: The Beatles of Pub Rock!!!
	4:01pm David Shortell: When I saw the Split Squad play with Stupidity at the Saint in Asbury Park four years ago, Stupidity's drummer told me that Keith Streng was moving to Stockholm. I feared that spelled the end of the Fleshtones, but evidently not.
	4:03pm McGroovey: I love Please Please Please. I have first DD album, but I obviously need more. More people should cover their songs.
	4:05pm Franco Twinkie: When people talk about most bands I never saw, for the most part I just shrug, unless it's The Fleshtones. You lucky pups!
	👻 4:05pm MFlynn: Always liked “Loves’s melody”
	4:05pm Franco Twinkie: Them and The Raybeats.
	4:06pm Claudia Lily: YES!!! Love's Melody!!!
	4:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Franco Twinkie: You may get your chance yet with The Fleshtones!
	4:07pm Gaylord Fields: Another great thing about Ducks Deluxe: They had four very strong songwriters, coupled with impeccable taste in covers! They should have been rock gods!!!
	4:08pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Claudia Lily: great tune! @Gaylord Fields: great point!
	4:08pm Gaylord Fields: I'm gonna pull a Hoboken Jack and say, "Hi, Claudia Lily!"
	👻 4:08pm MFlynn: You’re right Gaylord. Should have gotten so much more attention than they did.
	4:09pm Claudia Lily: Hi Gaylord!!!!!! :D
	4:09pm listener 126464: Hi everyone, hello Todd, cheers Hoboken Jack!
	4:09pm Ross T.: Saw GP and the Rumour in '79 in Boston (the Paradise?). Along with the songs the guitar players were the stars for me (well, and the whole band). I loved the contrast between the two -- Brinsley in like a pressed suit and spectacles intensley focused; Martin looking like he had just rolled out of bed with a beer and cigarette and rollicking about. They were amazing.
	4:09pm Gaylord Fields: MFlynn: I know that excellent bands that flopped are a dime a dozen, but this one is a head scratcher.
	4:10pm Vertual: Back in the 90s i went to a Fleshtones show at a bar in Florida on a Monday night - it was poorly promoted and maybe a dozen of us showed up...but the way they played you'd think it was a sell out.
	4:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Ross T: Wish I had been there!
	4:11pm Will C: Holy Sixteen Blue!
	4:11pm Dave in SoDak: I received a gift from an old girlfriend in Seattle in '86 - a boot of an EC & Attractions live show (sounded like King Biscuit). Vintage '79. Steve Naive had broken his arm or something so they had Marty Belmont fill in. Didn't miss a beat. Frantic and truly awesome.
	4:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gaylord Fields: I think they might have fared better had they come out a year or two later and been on Stiff or Chiswick instead of RCA.
	4:11pm Ross T.: Todd -- one of my top 5 shows definitely -- Sparks had just been released and they were on fire. I actually stumbled on the gig -- just happened to be visiting an ex in Beantown (another story).
	4:13pm WM: @Franco Twinkie: I did hear the Fleshtones when they own a battle of the bands that included the Nervus Rex and the Zantees at NYU Lobe Student Center. As I remember, the Fleshtones won.
	👻 4:15pm MFlynn: I remember being at that NYU battle of the bands show too thanks to Todd.
	4:15pm zivilars: Fantastic show as always, Todd ... Thanks for every Saturday's show!
	4:15pm WM: Please excuse the typo "when they won."
	4:15pm Gaylord Fields: Todd, that is a great point! They would have done so well with a Dave Robinson or Jake Riviera making a fuss for them.
	4:16pm David Shortell: The Fleshtones headlined a show at the Brighton Bar 12 years ago where most of the audience left after the Ribeye Brothers played, alas.
	4:17pm Peter Kaprelian: He couldve said "my baby is done," it wouldve actually rhymed.
	4:23pm Tim from LH: Martin is a very nice chap. He and Brinsley hung out in the lobby at The Newton Theater for at least a half hour with all the fans after the first GP & The Rumour reunion.
	4:24pm Gaylord Fields: @Peter Kaprelian: It did rhyme when the Louvin Brothers wrote and sang it.
	4:25pm mariano: GenesEs!
	👻 4:34pm MFlynn: Kingsley Ward filled in when Dave didn’t show! Haha
	4:38pm MonicaC: Gram Parker and the Rumour were so tight.
	4:38pm Ross T.: Love this song -- that's a groove.
	4:39pm Claudia Lily: I want to hear that song about Pensacola, I like it for vacation but I can't imagine any rock'n'rollers romanticizing that place. haha
	4:40pm medson: Great interview so far.
	4:40pm marpay: HI Todd - lurking and dropped in to hang out, and glad to have such good company♥
	4:40pm Fredericks: Graham Parker & the Rumour brought to mind Springsteen. I asked myself what the connecting thread was. I answered: Van Morrison.
	4:41pm Mike Sin: Great interview! In the US, the “Dont Mind Rockin Tonight” album was the easiest way to get an overview of the band. That LP was a staple of used bins in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
	4:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Claudia Lily: Like Martin says...it's a fantasy!
	4:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Fredericks: You nailed it!
	👻 4:42pm MFlynn: “Heat Treatment” was such a great album!!!
	4:42pm AS from MP: Lew Lewis Reformer (looking back an hour ago) recorded on Stiff Records
	4:43pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Mike Sin: Strange thing that compilation even came out...I guess RCA somehow thought they could capitalize on the subsequent success of some people involved in that scene.
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In other words - the Pub was not the Arena ? It was Rawk up-close on Saturday again, maybe ?
	4:48pm Barkevious Shabazz: Listen, I ain't a pet.
	4:48pm Gaylord Fields: A token hipster for your monopoly set.
	4:48pm Barkevious Shabazz: Luv this revved up vers.
	4:49pm Joe B: does graham parker have the record for being on the most major labels? at least, being on the most and complaining about the most!
	4:51pm slugluv1313: "Fool's Gold" one of the most beautiful, heartfelt songs EVER <3 <3 <3 greetings, Todd and Skeletons and Everyone! just tuning in now, bummer i missed so much of the show (thank goodness for WFMU archives!) saw Graham Parker and The Rumour numerous times way back when -- amazing shows and i gotta look, but i think i still have this "Mercury Poisoning" 45 -- iirc, it is on blue vinyl, and you had to cut some number/code off the LP cover, mail it in, and you got the 45 mailed to you
	4:53pm Barkevious Shabazz: The GP&TR live reunion video a few yrs back was pretty aces.
	4:53pm Fredericks: I wish that guitar didn't have that effect on it. Not a bad sound, but it dates it.
	4:53pm Steady Eddie: Just wondering if Martin played on any Kirsty MaCColl records?
	4:54pm DG: slugluv: Yes, you had to cut that off the cover & send away to Arista (or some affiliated co.) & you got a 7inch 33 1/3 single of "Mercury Poisoning" with "I Want You Back" on the other side. I think I picked mine up in the Village though.
	4:55pm PJ: XTC were on a lot of different labels in the US (Virgin US, RSO, Epic, Geffen, TVT) and Andy Partridge complained about every one of them, but GP has them beat (Mercury, Arista, Atlantic, RCA, Razor & Tie, Bloodshot, Universal) by a few labels.
	4:56pm DG: ...and I assume the version of "Mercury Poisoning" we just heard was from the "Live Sparks" album, not the single.
	4:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: "I've got Arista-ritis!" "I've got RCAIDS!" etc.
	4:56pm Joe B: @PJ - GP was also on Elektra for one record!
	4:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Correct @DG...my bad!
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joe Strummer perhaps the most obvious Venn overlap in the PubRawk / Punk transition... if not the entire Stiff label...
	4:57pm Joe B: @Stewady Eddie - at least one live album
	4:57pm pgalub: I DON'T got Universal... Healthcare. ;)
	4:57pm PJ: @Joe B: I knew I'd missed one!
	4:57pm Joe B: ha exactly Gaylord!
	4:58pm Gaylord Fields: @pgalub: Hahahaha!!! [tips hat]
	4:59pm Bryant in TO: @RevRabbit Yeah, Elgin Avenue Breakdown was my gateway to pub rock
	4:59pm Barkevious Shabazz: EFD played Emotional Traffic a few months back. Sounded purty good.
	4:59pm Joe B: GP also had one or two on Capitol - burning questions, maybe one other ...
	5:00pm Ross T.: EMI!!!
	5:00pm listener 126464: Pick To Click
	5:00pm DG: Yes, the Elektra album (Steady Nerves, there's also a non-LP b-side) is pretty good, the 2 RCA ones are even better (he also did a solo live album on RCA). Never made an album for Atlantic, although he was signed to them.
	5:00pm McGroovey: Huh. I didn't think of Frozen Years as being a standout track on that album. For me, it's Emotional Traffic. I wasn't a WPIX listener.
	5:00pm PJ: Just checked the internet - that GP Elektra LP, Steady Nerves, had his only US Top 40 single, "Wake Up (Next to You)". If only he'd used parentheses in the titles of his other singles, he might have had a few more hits.
	5:01pm Ross T.: Graham's RCA albums are very overlooked in my opinion -- particularly "Struck by Lightning".
	5:01pm Joe B: agreed Ross
	5:02pm Ross T.: : )
	5:06pm Michael Shelley: Loving this!
	5:08pm Vertual: This is such a treat.
