Listener comments!
	2:59pm Moog1 Radio: What a day for a daydream!
	♥ 2:59pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kurt!
	♥ 3:00pm Yvang: I'll take a spoonful of Testify please!
	♥ 3:00pm Funky16Corners: Yvang!
	3:01pm Moog1 Radio: I wish I could figure out how to program my auto playlist to do what this one does. I always have to stop it myself to live DJ and play records on Mixlr
	♥ 3:01pm Yvang: Hi Larry! Testifiyers!
	♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: Kenzo has created an efficient and stable piece of software.
	3:04pm Moog1 Radio: The hardest would be for it not to sniff a quiet gap like between The End and Her Majesty and cut in unwantedly
	♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: Well I have to update this playlist manually. I can input the data ahead of time, but I have to publish each track manually
	3:07pm Erica: Hi guys. Ready for the Lovin' Spoonful themed show.
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	3:08pm Moog1 Radio: Oh... I was referring to the auto music stream.
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: Oh, ok, gotcha
	♥ 3:10pm dreamyandseedy: greetings!
	♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Dreamy!
	♥ 3:12pm dreamyandseedy: this is a gorgeous song, no matter who sings it!
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: Yes, indeed! I have another cover for the third set that's even better.
	♥ 3:13pm dreamyandseedy: i first heard it sung by mama cass on sheila b's show
	♥ 3:13pm Michael 98145: Big fan of that LS back in the day ...
	♥ 3:13pm Phillippe: howdy
	♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: Michael! Phillippe!
	♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: @Dream - I don't have the version by Cass. I'll have to find it!
	3:15pm Moog1 Radio: Micky shares my birthday! according to Discogs
	♥ 3:17pm Funky16Corners: The only other Micky I've ever seen, besides Dolenz!
	♥ 3:17pm Candy-O'67: Hey Larry and all!
	♥ 3:17pm Funky16Corners: Candy-O!
	3:19pm CalZone!: Greetings LG, MOOG1, and fellow Groganites! Gimme more Spoonsfulls!
	♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: Cal!
	3:22pm Moog1 Radio: CAL!!!!
	3:23pm CalZone!: Bring on the Bud Shankophonics!
	♥ 3:23pm Funky16Corners: Your wish is my command (in a little while...)
	3:30pm Moog1 Radio: Even Martin Denny does a version of Amy's Theme
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: It really got around!
	3:31pm Moog1 Radio: The Lovin Spoonful used Vinnie Bell for studio guitar overdubs. He is featured in Daydream!
	3:31pm Erica: This is one of those songs that everyone should know.
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: I did not know that!
	3:33pm CalZone!: That's Vinnie with the Bell Vibrato!
	3:34pm CalZone!: And probably the plinkity plunk...
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: I think Vinnie slept at the studio. He was EVERYWHERE!
	3:38pm Moog1 Radio: Sing along!
	3:38pm Erica: I can't hear the vocals.
	3:38pm ?: Anyone ever see "What's Up, Tigerlily?"
	3:39pm Erica: I hate when songs are in stereo and you can only hear the vocals on one side.
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: I'm streaming it on my phone and I can hear everything
	3:39pm Moog1 Radio: Maybe Larry's in the studio with Rick Rubin doing John Sebastian 1-2-3
	3:39pm Irene: Hey Larry! I think you're only putting out 1 channel.
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: I checked. I'm picking up the stream on my phone and it's fine. How are you guys listening? I think there's a problem with the stream
	3:41pm CalZone!: I agree with Irene and all...chan el issues...I thought Larry was playing demos or weird mixes...
	3:41pm Moog1 Radio: pop up
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: This sucks. I have to tell Doug about this because it's a recurring problem
	3:41pm Moog1 Radio: We need to give ourselves a Stereo Checkout
	3:42pm CalZone!: Give the audio engineer some...
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: I'm OK on the pop up as well
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but reporting for duty.
	♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: I wonder if it's a browser-dependent problem. I can't test it on the computer but I tried both on the phone and they were fine
	3:47pm Erica: One my favorite Lovin' Spoonful songs. Simple.
	3:47pm CalZone!: I'm using the android app on phone and getting the weird mix
	♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: I'm using an iphone without a problem, and can see (and hear) that I'm putting out both channels. I just wrote to Doug about it
	3:49pm Moog1 Radio: Another track covered by Sandie Shaw on that awesome Reviewing the Situation LP
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: I picked that up, Kurt!
	3:50pm Moog1 Radio: I love Del Shannon's version of this one!
	♥ 3:53pm Mike Sin: There have been some intermittent problems with all of WFMU streams this week. Troubleshooting is happening as we type. That said, I've been listening using the pop-up and I have had no problems. That said, this version of "Summer in the City" -- are you playing a stereo version? If so, it sounds like one channel (probably left) is being reproduced in both channels.
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike! It is a stereo mix, playing in stereo (from all indicators on this end)
	3:54pm Moog1 Radio: Back to MONO!
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: Are you picking up both channels of this one?
	3:55pm CalZone!: This one sounds right...
	3:55pm Erica: Agreed Moog1. Mix the stereo files to mono.
	3:55pm Moog1 Radio: I think it might be a phasing issue which happens with internet streams.
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: That sucks...
	3:57pm CalZone!: Mystery seemed to sound right. Summer in the city sounded like Sebastian singing with a Zither ;) In actually kind of enjoying the low finess.
	♥ 3:58pm Mike Sin: Yes -- it sounds like one stereo channel is being broadcast on both channels or the signal is being knocked out of phase.
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Hell of an operation we have going...
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Well, I hope you're enjoying whatever part of this brilliant record is making it through...
	4:00pm Moog1 Radio: It sounds like an AM radio broadcast in a good way
	♥ 4:00pm Mike Sin: Obviously, this is some sort of conspiracy. WFMU has hired Rudy Guiliani to investigate.
	4:01pm CalZone!: The Lov__ ___onfull!
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: This makes me terrified about what the archives sound like.
	♥ 4:03pm Candy-O'67: I haven't noticed any problems with the stream on your show today, Larry, although I was having issues with the Rock n Soul stream off and on this week
	♥ 4:03pm WR: Hey hey. I recently got three Spoonful reissue CDs but only have glanced at them. And now I got half of this program to catch up with. You already done played Summer in the City, so I will play it for myself as soon the show is finished.
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: @Candy-O - That's what makes me think this is somehow browser/app dependent
	4:04pm Erica: Sorry Larry but it's best that you hear it from us before it's too late.
	♥ 4:04pm dreamyandseedy: i am hearing and enjoying everything fine on both computer (using winamp) and on iphone w/the app.
	4:05pm CalZone!: Larry, your archives sound like the tapes that came with classroom filmstrips. The Lovin Spoonfull...BEEEEEEEP...I'm Larry Grogan...BEEEEEEEEP!
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: WFMU needs to hear it. The problem is on their end
	♥ 4:06pm dreamyandseedy: joe of surface noise did a lovin' spoonful set on monday, nice to hear even more today!
	♥ 4:13pm WR: I'm no expert on the mono vs stereo on the original recordings but VLC info stream is stereo. I couldn't detect any missing part, but possibly did sound mono...my 2 centavos
	4:14pm Peter K.: Peter Kastner died in 2008. But at that point he hadn't made a movie since 1984. What happened to is indeed a question worth pondering. "You're a Big Boy Now" is a strange but appealing movie with a great score (and a great cast).
	♥ 4:14pm Candy-O'67: Maybe so, Larry. I'm listening from my laptop. I just go to wfmu.org and then click on the stream on the left side where the streams are listed. Same when I listen from my phone. I like that better than the app cause I can see the playlists and chats easily there when live. When I listen to the archives, then I listen in the pop-up player and pull up the archived playlist if I'm on my computer.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: @Peter K - I have a vague memory of Kastner having some tragic event in his life/family that derailed him. I always enjoyed him as an actor.
	♥ 4:16pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Loved the early singles. That is all we heard over here. Magic, Darling, Did You Ever, Nice, all gems.
	4:16pm Peter K.: P.S.: "Revelation" is not a "largely" Sebastian-less album. It's an ENTIRELY Sebastian-less album. In fact, I'm not even sure Steve Boone or Jerry Yester are on it. It's basically a Joe Butler solo album, probably released as the Spoonful because the group owned Kama Sutra one more record.
	♥ 4:16pm Doug Schulkind: I am receiving stereo in both the MP3 feed and the pop-up player.
	♥ 4:16pm Doug Schulkind: Also, HEY EVERYBODY!
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: Doug!
	♥ 4:17pm Brian in UK: Is the Critters, Younger Girl a Sebastian song? Feels like it should be.
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: @Peter K - I thought I remember reading that Sebastian appeared on a track (that may have been recorded prior to the rest of the record) but I may be mistaken
	♥ 4:18pm Irene Trudel: Larry, back to the channel drop-out. I was in my car at the time listening from my Android phone, so I couldn't check on multiple devices. Now that I'm back, I was able to check against a CD. The right channel was out. I'd be interested in hearing the archive later to see if it was the browser or the device. Oh, and Hi Doug!
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - It is, and it's coming up in a few
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Irene!
	♥ 4:18pm Brian in UK: Hey Doug, great to be home. Kind of.
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: Sebastian deserves a medal of some kind for this song
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: BTW This is a really nice pop/jazz album, should you ever see it in the bins.
	♥ 4:21pm Irene Trudel: Those Lovin' Spoonful mixes were definitely hard-panned on some instruments and vocals. Like on "Darlin' Be Home Soon"-- nothing came out of the speakers till the vocal. Hit me on email later if you want to try some troubleshooting.
	4:22pm Peter K.: Sebastian had definitely left the group before "Revelation" was released, but perhaps they had a left-over track with him on it. He sure isn't pictured or mentioned anywhere on the cover or back cover. For what it's worth, Wikipedia lists the personnel as only Butler, Boone and Yester. But Wikipedia is not always right, as we all know!
	♥ 4:22pm Mike Sin: One issue to remember -- and I'm not saying this is the case -- but when software updates, some of the brands default to mono. For example, when Adobe Audition updates, it resets the input to mono (left channels on both channels). One has to manually reset it.
	4:22pm Erica: Hiya Doug.
	♥ 4:22pm Discotech Underground: Good afternoon Larry, and everyone else!
	♥ 4:23pm doctorjazz: Hi! Sitting and listening on Main Street, Great Barrington, Ma. I went to a record store here while the ladies went shopping in Lenox. Coincidentally, one of the LPs I got was a very cheap (the owner actually just threw it in with my other purchases) copy of Best of the Lovin' Spoonful. Now just waiting for the ladies, there's a vintage car show in town while I wait.
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kip!
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 4:23pm Brian in UK: John Stewarts' California Bloodlines is an all time favourite in this house, recorded in Nashville the same time as Nashville Skyline. On Never Goin' Back he credits all the musicians on the record, an original touch.
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: @MIke, Do you mean broadcast software? I'm using EdCast and it shows stereo output (in settings and actual output)
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I love California Bloodlines, and the one he did right before that with his wife, Buffy Ford
	♥ 4:24pm Irene Trudel: Sweet version of "Younger Girl" from The Critters!
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: @Irene - Isn't that good? I might like it better than the original
	♥ 4:25pm Irene Trudel: Love it!
	♥ 4:25pm Brian in UK: Signals Through the Glass.
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: That's the one, Brian!
	🥁 ♥ 4:26pm dutchtheo: Hey, Larry! and cats, back from summer in the city
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: Flatt and Scruggs did a bunch of unusual stuff like this in the late 60s
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Theo!
	♥ 4:27pm doctorjazz: Always want to sing this during Someday Matinee.
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: The lyrics to this one are hysterical
	♥ 4:28pm doctorjazz: :-)
	4:28pm Erica: That banjo solo at the end made me think of the Beverly hillbillies lol
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: Rhyming "delicatessen" with "fress in" is genius.
	4:28pm Erica: Never mind. I found who that version was by.
	♥ 4:29pm Doug Schulkind: Oy gevalt.
	♥ 4:29pm Brian in UK: dutchtheo, did you get to Croatia? Might have got that wrong.
	4:29pm Erica: I could go for some cream cheese now.
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: This was apparently a small local hit in NYC in 67
	♥ 4:29pm dreamyandseedy: i could go for a sour pickle!
	♥ 4:30pm Mike Sin: Please tell me that the record label read "kosher for Passover" on that Lovin' Cohens single.
	4:30pm Erica: Mazel tov to that kosher deli.
	♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:31pm doctorjazz: Hard to find good Kosher Deli in Brooklyn these days...
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: That's just insane. What has happened to Brooklyn?
	♥ 4:33pm doctorjazz: My daughter is growing cucumbers and pickled a bunch, they're great!
	♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: I want a pickle now. Preferably half-sour.
	♥ 4:34pm Brian in UK: I don't want a pickle, I just want a ride on my motorcickle.
	♥ 4:35pm Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK I love that John Stewart record, too.
	♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: The man behind Noshville Katz! Look at the other songs he wrote! bobbyweinstein.com...
	♥ 4:36pm Brian in UK: What price being a patriot like John Stewart now?
	♥ 4:36pm doctorjazz: There is a decent one Coney IslandAvenue and Avenue J I went to recently, Essen. But Brooklyn is hipster, Very Orthodox, or everyone else, that European Jewish style of cooking is not that easy to find.
	♥ 4:36pm Doug Schulkind: Mariachi? I don't even LIKE achi!
	4:38pm Erica: Apparently the Lovin' Spoonful songs have fallen into a burning ring of fire 🔥.
	♥ 4:40pm doctorjazz: (Essen does charge a fortune for the privilege).
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: I almost stopped at Harold's yesterday, but the siren song of whole belly clams in Keyport was too strong.
	♥ 4:46pm doctorjazz: We've discussed this before, but you must try Lox, Stock and Deli.
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: We used to go there all the time when we lived in South River. Haven't been back in years, though, so due for a refresher
	♥ 4:49pm doctorjazz: Give me some of that ol' style kishka!
	♥ 4:49pm Brian in UK: Larry, has anyone done a show covering the diversity of World-Pacific?
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Not that I know of, but I'll put it on my list. Working on an A&M show sometime soon
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Now I want a big, sloppy pastrami sandwich with lots of brown mustard.
	♥ 4:51pm Discotech Underground: A&M was such a diverse label in it's first ten years.
	♥ 4:51pm Brian in UK: Like Charlie Varrick, the last of the independents!!
	♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to tune in to Discothech Underground when I'm done! wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:51pm doctorjazz: Ahhh, sounds great Larry (not easy to find in the Berkshires either).
	♥ 4:52pm dreamyandseedy: peggy lee sounding wonderful, what a song! do find that mama cass version, it's so simple and beautiful
	♥ 4:52pm Discotech Underground: I was just about to put up a plug but Larry beat me to it! Yes, please stay tuned for ME!!
	♥ 4:53pm Doug Schulkind: Anyone currently hearing any channel-dropouts or other stereo/not stereo problems?
	♥ 4:54pm Brian in UK: Not over here.
	♥ 4:54pm Discotech Underground: Not presently.
	♥ 4:55pm Brian in UK: Larry, great selections. Never knew there were so many covers.
	♥ 4:55pm doctorjazz: Been ok on my phone. Thanks Larry!
	4:59pm Erica: Great show this week Larry.
	♥ 4:59pm Yvang: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm Irene Trudel: Great show as always, Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all!
	4:59pm Erica: Hopefully the stereo problem will be fixed soon.
	♥ 5:00pm Funky16Corners: Fingers crossed!
	♥ 5:01pm WR: Thank you Larry!
	♥ 5:01pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR!

	♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: @Dream - I don't have the version by Cass. I'll have to find it!
	3:15pm Moog1 Radio: Micky shares my birthday! according to Discogs
	♥ 3:17pm Funky16Corners: The only other Micky I've ever seen, besides Dolenz!
	♥ 3:17pm Candy-O'67: Hey Larry and all!
	♥ 3:17pm Funky16Corners: Candy-O!
	3:19pm CalZone!: Greetings LG, MOOG1, and fellow Groganites! Gimme more Spoonsfulls!
	♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: Cal!
	3:22pm Moog1 Radio: CAL!!!!
	3:23pm CalZone!: Bring on the Bud Shankophonics!
	♥ 3:23pm Funky16Corners: Your wish is my command (in a little while...)
	3:30pm Moog1 Radio: Even Martin Denny does a version of Amy's Theme
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: It really got around!
	3:31pm Moog1 Radio: The Lovin Spoonful used Vinnie Bell for studio guitar overdubs. He is featured in Daydream!
	3:31pm Erica: This is one of those songs that everyone should know.
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: I did not know that!
	3:33pm CalZone!: That's Vinnie with the Bell Vibrato!
	3:34pm CalZone!: And probably the plinkity plunk...
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: I think Vinnie slept at the studio. He was EVERYWHERE!
	3:38pm Moog1 Radio: Sing along!
	3:38pm Erica: I can't hear the vocals.
	3:38pm ?: Anyone ever see "What's Up, Tigerlily?"
	3:39pm Erica: I hate when songs are in stereo and you can only hear the vocals on one side.
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: I'm streaming it on my phone and I can hear everything
	3:39pm Moog1 Radio: Maybe Larry's in the studio with Rick Rubin doing John Sebastian 1-2-3
	3:39pm Irene: Hey Larry! I think you're only putting out 1 channel.
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: I checked. I'm picking up the stream on my phone and it's fine. How are you guys listening? I think there's a problem with the stream
	3:41pm CalZone!: I agree with Irene and all...chan el issues...I thought Larry was playing demos or weird mixes...
	3:41pm Moog1 Radio: pop up
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: This sucks. I have to tell Doug about this because it's a recurring problem
	3:41pm Moog1 Radio: We need to give ourselves a Stereo Checkout
	3:42pm CalZone!: Give the audio engineer some...
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: I'm OK on the pop up as well
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but reporting for duty.
	♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: I wonder if it's a browser-dependent problem. I can't test it on the computer but I tried both on the phone and they were fine
	3:47pm Erica: One my favorite Lovin' Spoonful songs. Simple.
	3:47pm CalZone!: I'm using the android app on phone and getting the weird mix
	♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: I'm using an iphone without a problem, and can see (and hear) that I'm putting out both channels. I just wrote to Doug about it
	3:49pm Moog1 Radio: Another track covered by Sandie Shaw on that awesome Reviewing the Situation LP
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: I picked that up, Kurt!
	3:50pm Moog1 Radio: I love Del Shannon's version of this one!
	♥ 3:53pm Mike Sin: There have been some intermittent problems with all of WFMU streams this week. Troubleshooting is happening as we type. That said, I've been listening using the pop-up and I have had no problems. That said, this version of "Summer in the City" -- are you playing a stereo version? If so, it sounds like one channel (probably left) is being reproduced in both channels.
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike! It is a stereo mix, playing in stereo (from all indicators on this end)
	3:54pm Moog1 Radio: Back to MONO!
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: Are you picking up both channels of this one?
	3:55pm CalZone!: This one sounds right...
	3:55pm Erica: Agreed Moog1. Mix the stereo files to mono.
	3:55pm Moog1 Radio: I think it might be a phasing issue which happens with internet streams.
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: That sucks...
	3:57pm CalZone!: Mystery seemed to sound right. Summer in the city sounded like Sebastian singing with a Zither ;) In actually kind of enjoying the low finess.
	♥ 3:58pm Mike Sin: Yes -- it sounds like one stereo channel is being broadcast on both channels or the signal is being knocked out of phase.
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Hell of an operation we have going...
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Well, I hope you're enjoying whatever part of this brilliant record is making it through...
	4:00pm Moog1 Radio: It sounds like an AM radio broadcast in a good way
	♥ 4:00pm Mike Sin: Obviously, this is some sort of conspiracy. WFMU has hired Rudy Guiliani to investigate.
	4:01pm CalZone!: The Lov__ ___onfull!
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: This makes me terrified about what the archives sound like.
	♥ 4:03pm Candy-O'67: I haven't noticed any problems with the stream on your show today, Larry, although I was having issues with the Rock n Soul stream off and on this week
	♥ 4:03pm WR: Hey hey. I recently got three Spoonful reissue CDs but only have glanced at them. And now I got half of this program to catch up with. You already done played Summer in the City, so I will play it for myself as soon the show is finished.
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: @Candy-O - That's what makes me think this is somehow browser/app dependent
	4:04pm Erica: Sorry Larry but it's best that you hear it from us before it's too late.
	♥ 4:04pm dreamyandseedy: i am hearing and enjoying everything fine on both computer (using winamp) and on iphone w/the app.
	4:05pm CalZone!: Larry, your archives sound like the tapes that came with classroom filmstrips. The Lovin Spoonfull...BEEEEEEEP...I'm Larry Grogan...BEEEEEEEEP!
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: WFMU needs to hear it. The problem is on their end
	♥ 4:06pm dreamyandseedy: joe of surface noise did a lovin' spoonful set on monday, nice to hear even more today!
	♥ 4:13pm WR: I'm no expert on the mono vs stereo on the original recordings but VLC info stream is stereo. I couldn't detect any missing part, but possibly did sound mono...my 2 centavos
	4:14pm Peter K.: Peter Kastner died in 2008. But at that point he hadn't made a movie since 1984. What happened to is indeed a question worth pondering. "You're a Big Boy Now" is a strange but appealing movie with a great score (and a great cast).
	♥ 4:14pm Candy-O'67: Maybe so, Larry. I'm listening from my laptop. I just go to wfmu.org and then click on the stream on the left side where the streams are listed. Same when I listen from my phone. I like that better than the app cause I can see the playlists and chats easily there when live. When I listen to the archives, then I listen in the pop-up player and pull up the archived playlist if I'm on my computer.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: @Peter K - I have a vague memory of Kastner having some tragic event in his life/family that derailed him. I always enjoyed him as an actor.
	♥ 4:16pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Loved the early singles. That is all we heard over here. Magic, Darling, Did You Ever, Nice, all gems.
	4:16pm Peter K.: P.S.: "Revelation" is not a "largely" Sebastian-less album. It's an ENTIRELY Sebastian-less album. In fact, I'm not even sure Steve Boone or Jerry Yester are on it. It's basically a Joe Butler solo album, probably released as the Spoonful because the group owned Kama Sutra one more record.
	♥ 4:16pm Doug Schulkind: I am receiving stereo in both the MP3 feed and the pop-up player.
	♥ 4:16pm Doug Schulkind: Also, HEY EVERYBODY!
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: Doug!
	♥ 4:17pm Brian in UK: Is the Critters, Younger Girl a Sebastian song? Feels like it should be.
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: @Peter K - I thought I remember reading that Sebastian appeared on a track (that may have been recorded prior to the rest of the record) but I may be mistaken
	♥ 4:18pm Irene Trudel: Larry, back to the channel drop-out. I was in my car at the time listening from my Android phone, so I couldn't check on multiple devices. Now that I'm back, I was able to check against a CD. The right channel was out. I'd be interested in hearing the archive later to see if it was the browser or the device. Oh, and Hi Doug!
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - It is, and it's coming up in a few
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Irene!
	♥ 4:18pm Brian in UK: Hey Doug, great to be home. Kind of.
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: Sebastian deserves a medal of some kind for this song
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: BTW This is a really nice pop/jazz album, should you ever see it in the bins.
	♥ 4:21pm Irene Trudel: Those Lovin' Spoonful mixes were definitely hard-panned on some instruments and vocals. Like on "Darlin' Be Home Soon"-- nothing came out of the speakers till the vocal. Hit me on email later if you want to try some troubleshooting.
	4:22pm Peter K.: Sebastian had definitely left the group before "Revelation" was released, but perhaps they had a left-over track with him on it. He sure isn't pictured or mentioned anywhere on the cover or back cover. For what it's worth, Wikipedia lists the personnel as only Butler, Boone and Yester. But Wikipedia is not always right, as we all know!
	♥ 4:22pm Mike Sin: One issue to remember -- and I'm not saying this is the case -- but when software updates, some of the brands default to mono. For example, when Adobe Audition updates, it resets the input to mono (left channels on both channels). One has to manually reset it.
	4:22pm Erica: Hiya Doug.
	♥ 4:22pm Discotech Underground: Good afternoon Larry, and everyone else!
	♥ 4:23pm doctorjazz: Hi! Sitting and listening on Main Street, Great Barrington, Ma. I went to a record store here while the ladies went shopping in Lenox. Coincidentally, one of the LPs I got was a very cheap (the owner actually just threw it in with my other purchases) copy of Best of the Lovin' Spoonful. Now just waiting for the ladies, there's a vintage car show in town while I wait.
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kip!
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 4:23pm Brian in UK: John Stewarts' California Bloodlines is an all time favourite in this house, recorded in Nashville the same time as Nashville Skyline. On Never Goin' Back he credits all the musicians on the record, an original touch.
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: @MIke, Do you mean broadcast software? I'm using EdCast and it shows stereo output (in settings and actual output)
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I love California Bloodlines, and the one he did right before that with his wife, Buffy Ford
	♥ 4:24pm Irene Trudel: Sweet version of "Younger Girl" from The Critters!
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: @Irene - Isn't that good? I might like it better than the original
	♥ 4:25pm Irene Trudel: Love it!
	♥ 4:25pm Brian in UK: Signals Through the Glass.
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: That's the one, Brian!
	🥁 ♥ 4:26pm dutchtheo: Hey, Larry! and cats, back from summer in the city
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: Flatt and Scruggs did a bunch of unusual stuff like this in the late 60s
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Theo!
	♥ 4:27pm doctorjazz: Always want to sing this during Someday Matinee.
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: The lyrics to this one are hysterical
	♥ 4:28pm doctorjazz: :-)
	4:28pm Erica: That banjo solo at the end made me think of the Beverly hillbillies lol
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: Rhyming "delicatessen" with "fress in" is genius.
	4:28pm Erica: Never mind. I found who that version was by.
	♥ 4:29pm Doug Schulkind: Oy gevalt.
	♥ 4:29pm Brian in UK: dutchtheo, did you get to Croatia? Might have got that wrong.
	4:29pm Erica: I could go for some cream cheese now.
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: This was apparently a small local hit in NYC in 67
	♥ 4:29pm dreamyandseedy: i could go for a sour pickle!
	♥ 4:30pm Mike Sin: Please tell me that the record label read "kosher for Passover" on that Lovin' Cohens single.
	4:30pm Erica: Mazel tov to that kosher deli.
	♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:31pm doctorjazz: Hard to find good Kosher Deli in Brooklyn these days...
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: That's just insane. What has happened to Brooklyn?
	♥ 4:33pm doctorjazz: My daughter is growing cucumbers and pickled a bunch, they're great!
	♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: I want a pickle now. Preferably half-sour.
	♥ 4:34pm Brian in UK: I don't want a pickle, I just want a ride on my motorcickle.
	♥ 4:35pm Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK I love that John Stewart record, too.
	♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: The man behind Noshville Katz! Look at the other songs he wrote! bobbyweinstein.com...
	♥ 4:36pm Brian in UK: What price being a patriot like John Stewart now?
	♥ 4:36pm doctorjazz: There is a decent one Coney IslandAvenue and Avenue J I went to recently, Essen. But Brooklyn is hipster, Very Orthodox, or everyone else, that European Jewish style of cooking is not that easy to find.
	♥ 4:36pm Doug Schulkind: Mariachi? I don't even LIKE achi!
	4:38pm Erica: Apparently the Lovin' Spoonful songs have fallen into a burning ring of fire 🔥.
	♥ 4:40pm doctorjazz: (Essen does charge a fortune for the privilege).
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: I almost stopped at Harold's yesterday, but the siren song of whole belly clams in Keyport was too strong.
	♥ 4:46pm doctorjazz: We've discussed this before, but you must try Lox, Stock and Deli.
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: We used to go there all the time when we lived in South River. Haven't been back in years, though, so due for a refresher
	♥ 4:49pm doctorjazz: Give me some of that ol' style kishka!
	♥ 4:49pm Brian in UK: Larry, has anyone done a show covering the diversity of World-Pacific?
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Not that I know of, but I'll put it on my list. Working on an A&M show sometime soon
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Now I want a big, sloppy pastrami sandwich with lots of brown mustard.
	♥ 4:51pm Discotech Underground: A&M was such a diverse label in it's first ten years.
	♥ 4:51pm Brian in UK: Like Charlie Varrick, the last of the independents!!
	♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to tune in to Discothech Underground when I'm done! wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:51pm doctorjazz: Ahhh, sounds great Larry (not easy to find in the Berkshires either).
	♥ 4:52pm dreamyandseedy: peggy lee sounding wonderful, what a song! do find that mama cass version, it's so simple and beautiful
	♥ 4:52pm Discotech Underground: I was just about to put up a plug but Larry beat me to it! Yes, please stay tuned for ME!!
	♥ 4:53pm Doug Schulkind: Anyone currently hearing any channel-dropouts or other stereo/not stereo problems?
	♥ 4:54pm Brian in UK: Not over here.
	♥ 4:54pm Discotech Underground: Not presently.
	♥ 4:55pm Brian in UK: Larry, great selections. Never knew there were so many covers.
	♥ 4:55pm doctorjazz: Been ok on my phone. Thanks Larry!
	4:59pm Erica: Great show this week Larry.
	♥ 4:59pm Yvang: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm Irene Trudel: Great show as always, Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all!
	4:59pm Erica: Hopefully the stereo problem will be fixed soon.
	♥ 5:00pm Funky16Corners: Fingers crossed!
	♥ 5:01pm WR: Thank you Larry!
	♥ 5:01pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR!
