	9:37pm Listener: Phatty lincoln That's called talk radio... I think 1010 something
	9:41pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: This is amazing, thank you both so much for doing this show! Love the music AND the conversation!
	9:42pm Listener: DJ How long does it take you to pick out 1 show's worth of songs?
	9:43pm theimann: Is there a Mike Nesmith connection with Lee Hazelwood? They have a similar writing style.
	9:43pm Matt Fiveash: Listener- if you’re gonna do the nightclub heckler thing, at least be funny about it. That’s how Nez would have wanted it

	9:48pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: Listener is probably the ghost of Don Kirshner out for revenge
	9:48pm theimann: The style is basically, Leonard Cohen, with a sense of humor.
	9:49pm Listener: Amanda You're a DJ, right? How long does it take about to pick 1 show's worth of songs?

	♥ 9:49pm PaulRobeson1920: THE Minkeees!!!! Thank you!! Good evening WFMU world! Warm Greetings from Huntington NY
	9:50pm Figgsrock: Oh, the Johnny Cash Show version of this (“Nine Times Blue”) is so perfect. This version is great too.
	9:51pm phat in lincoln: Don Kirshner was a business partner with Lester Sill, who had previously been a partner of... Lee Hazlewood. No direct connection that I can tell, though. I did some googling.
	♥ 9:51pm Amanda: Nice sleuthing!
	9:52pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: @Amanda Ha! Seriously, though, I only get my face beat by my makeup artist
	♥ 9:53pm DanFA: Frank Zappa was in Head. Do you think that leant them some cred in the underground/experimental music scene of the time?
	9:53pm phat in lincoln: Sill was all over the music biz in the 50s and 60s. Worked with Lieber and Stoller and Phil Spector, as well.
	9:54pm Listener: Amanda That's about a day every week when you add the actual broadcast! Impressive on many levels That's a lot of happy ears when you think about it
	9:56pm Listener: So it's worth it
	9:57pm phat in lincoln: I've been getting a little obsessed with characters like Sill since I started bingeing on 500songs.com
	♥ 9:59pm MasterofPuberty: "Anywhoozle"! Where have I first heard that? Reggie Watts?
	♥ 9:59pm DanFA: @Amanda and Therese- do you enjoy the Minor Threat cover of Stepping Stone?
	♥ 10:00pm Matt Fiveash: He's not winking but the eyes follow you around the room!
	10:00pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: He winks if you click on the pic!
	♥ 10:00pm DanFA: @Matt Fiveash- oh my god, you're right.
	10:02pm skyline chili: Therese & Amanda: in two hours it will be Michael Nesmith & Davy Jones birthday.
	♥ 10:04pm Switchblade Batman: Has anyone read the sequel for Repo Man? I know they made a graphic novel for it.
	10:05pm ian: what the heck, this is some serious plate o shrimp moment going on for me
	♥ 10:06pm DanFA: Dick is still with us.
	♥ 10:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: B-Days ! Good point. Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones... A distinctive & important Artist ...& a beloved presence always. Monkees TV is about as deep as roots get.
	10:07pm daikachi: play music
	♥ 10:07pm dave miss: Is Dave Hill to Dick Cavett like Alice Cooper to Groucho Marx?
	♥ 10:07pm evancuts: Not to sound braggy but I helped Dick Cavett sign up for twitter.
	♥ 10:08pm evancuts: I think he still uses the password I created for him.
	♥ 10:08pm Chop Scott: The Long, Sandy Hair of Neftoon Zamora.
	♥ 10:09pm evancuts: Ha! He does. And still uses the photo I took as his profile. That's my laptop: twitter.com...
	♥ 10:10pm DanFA: @dave miss- I think it's more like Dave Hill is to Dick Cavett as King Diamond is to Joe Franklin.
	♥ 10:13pm dave miss: @Dan I would love that is that was true. Alice Cooper used to be friends with Groucho and they were insomniacs, so AC would hang with Groucho and watch tv until Groucho would fall asleep and put out his cigar and cover him with a blanket....that's the legend
	♥ 10:16pm DanFA: @dave miss- I did not know that.
	10:18pm theimann: This is sounding like the James Gang.
	♥ 10:18pm chaos_in_la_la: Its been raining in la_la for the past two weeks. More rain than anybody I know can remember.
	♥ 10:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a fine song & track is Door Into Summer.
	10:20pm phat in lincoln: Door Into Summer has become one of my top 10 pop songs.
	♥ 10:20pm chaos_in_la_la: @theimann- heard that. coincidence, or could be the other way around? That trk came out in '71
	♥ 10:21pm Fishtown Mike: Great show Therese & Amanda! I've really been looking forward to this show! Thanks for putting it together!
	♥ 10:21pm Amanda: Thank you Fishtown Mike :-)
	10:22pm phat in lincoln: @Fishtown Mike ditto
	♥ 10:22pm Amanda: These two tracks are sequential on the album, NO DJING REQUIRED
	10:23pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: Man, Mike really got the best tracks on this album
	♥ 10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Only Sleeping rules too.
	♥ 10:25pm alanSixº: love this version
	♥ 10:25pm alanSixº: i was so happy when i was digging through the 45's and found this
	10:26pm Listener: Amanda Did you used to do the kid show on Saturday morning? Different Amanda?
	10:26pm daikachi: Really? You like this version?
	♥ 10:26pm alanSixº: yeah i love it lol
	♥ 10:27pm Joel: Pisces, Aquarius is a pop masterpiece.
	10:27pm johnk77: great work selecters the title of the door into summer was used by robert heinlein for a novel in 1956
	10:28pm Therese: @Joel: it is a struggle not to keep going back to the Pisces well...
	10:28pm bobob: this version of d drum is bullshit
	♥ 10:28pm Amanda: @Listener yes that was me!
	10:28pm daikachi: Well, this brings it full circle. Me and Maggie.
	♥ 10:29pm listener 126464: Good call.
	10:29pm bobobobob: any body that liked that version of Diff Drum is fuckin Tone Deaf
	♥ 10:30pm alanSixº: lol damn
	10:31pm phat in lincoln: Some grumpy gusses on here tonight.
	10:31pm Listener: OMG! I'm so glad you're alive and doing well, Amanda! You're one of a kind
	♥ 10:32pm listener 126464: open mic night
	10:32pm bobobob: much Better much much better!!!!
	♥ 10:32pm Amanda: @phat I think everyone is mad that the Monkees didn’t play their own instruments
	10:33pm phat in lincoln: Oh Matt...
	♥ 10:33pm Amanda: @Listener How nice thank you!!!
	10:33pm phat in lincoln: @Amanda lol
	10:34pm Listener: No, thank YOU
	♥ 10:35pm listener 126464: Should have added '...on the board' to previous comment.
	10:36pm daikachi: I think this is the second song that I don't understand a direct connection to Mike, because Mickey is singing it. Did Mike write it?
	♥ 10:36pm Amanda: Yes
	10:36pm dano59: Lovin' the different "Drum"s! You two are crushing it
	10:36pm phat in lincoln: I've come to the realization recently that an awful lot of Monkees songs were really sad songs.
	10:36pm Listener: Some of these songs tonight are goodies That Monkees song, Me & Magdalena, I would have NEVER known it was them
	♥ 10:37pm DanFA: George Jones cover? Becky, you there?
	10:38pm phat in lincoln: @Listener it was on their last album, written by Ben Gibbard for them.
	10:38pm aint Paul: The first "real Monkees" song performance-wise, TGTIKS with all of 'em, written and originally sung by Mike.
	10:39pm phat in lincoln: Oh wait, Christmas Party was after that album.
	10:40pm skyline chili: There was only one kid show that I remembered that had the name of Amanda in the title. And that was called The Amanda show hosted by Amanda bynes. If I'm correct of my assumption, then you're trying to say you're Amanda bynes / actress.
	♥ 10:41pm Chop Scott: Great voice--high lonesome.
	10:42pm dano59: omg now i'm crying
	10:42pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: @skyline pretty sure the show they're talking about is Double Dip Recess
	10:43pm Listener: chili Don't worry about Amanda She knows music. If you listen you'll learn something
	10:44pm theimann: I am loving all this, please keep drinking and playing!
	10:45pm Erica: Hi. I normally don't listen to this show (I listen to Testify! on the GTD stream) but I am here for the Mike Nesmith show, even though I'm late.
	10:49pm skyline chili: @Da Fairy of Da Locket: of course, that makes more sense. Why that didn't occur to me, I'll never know. So I'm not too embarrassed to have had that thought. So I can appreciate if everyone would just forget that I text that.
	♥ 10:51pm Gaylord Fields: Hey, Therese and Amanda, did you know this is my favorite Davy-sung Monkees song?
	♥ 10:51pm Amanda: Hi Gaylord! Yes, we knew! And it’s one reason why we played it!
	10:51pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: Davy shaking the heck out of those maracas
	10:53pm Erica: "Eww you like the Monkees?" That Simpsons clip haunts me to this day.
	10:53pm phat in lincoln: Gaylord!
	10:57pm phat in lincoln: Nesmith had a pretty consistent point of view over the years. Maybe a bit cynical.
	10:57pm Kenny: Gaylord! Have been thinking of you recently and the discussion we always have about how Don Kirshner did NOT go to our high school!
	10:57pm phat in lincoln: Seems like
	10:58pm theimann: This is great!
	10:58pm dano59: I was hoping The Simpsons (and Marcia Brady) would make an appearance
	10:59pm Kenny: Although of course Bobby Darin and the maker of Micky’s Moog did.
	10:59pm daikachi: A song about street people. yeah.
	11:00pm phat in lincoln: I literally just thought "Cruisin" sounded like it could fit on this soundtrack.
	♥ 11:00pm Matt Fiveash: You like music? You're gonna love this
	11:00pm sufferwords: The Juicy Bananas with Sy Richardson
	11:01pm phat in lincoln: @Matt Fiveash yes!
	11:02pm phat in lincoln: This soundtrack, man...
	11:02pm sufferwords: Circle Jerk Zander on guitar
	♥ 11:02pm DanFA: @Therese- this should be your hoof n mouth sinfonia song next fundraiser.
	♥ 11:03pm Fuzzy: 5-pound blocks of cheese bags of groceries
	11:04pm dano59: Yer hitting all the high points, and then some! That's it, i'm digging out all my Monkees records after the show - Classic Albums box, the cereal box records, Monkee Business, Headquarters Sessions, Missing Links 1-3, Good Times!
	11:04pm sufferwords: Spanking Monkeys
	11:05pm Therese: @DanFA: Maybe next year...
	♥ 11:05pm Amanda: I need to get both my cars out of this bad area
	♥ 11:05pm Nardo: Love the Cruisin' video too! youtu.be...
	♥ 11:06pm DanFA: @Amanda- I do all my best thinking on the bus
	11:07pm phat in lincoln: I only just this past year or so realized that the music label for Repo Man was created just for that record.
	11:09pm skyline chili: That rumor is just burn into everyone's mind. It's been long since proven they have in fact play their own instruments, they played them live on stage with backup musicians like a lot of the acts of the day did. Mike and Peter were accomplished musicians, Peter even played a multitude of different instruments.Before the monkeys Mickey was in two of his own groups, one was called the missing links, and the other one was Mickey and the one-nighters. He played guitar. And even Davy was in a skiffle group. But despite of all that it will be forever ingrained in the world's consciousness repeating it in a mindless drone like fashion that they didn't play their own instrument's
	11:11pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: Reno? Why Reno?
	11:11pm Erica: Rio is the closest thing the Monkees/Mike Nesmith got to making a "yacht rock" record.
	11:12pm Erica: Unless you count "Capsule".
	♥ 11:12pm Aitch: Show lilting away in the background today very nicely
	11:13pm Erica: But seriously, Rio gives me Jimmy Buffett vibes.
	♥ 11:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: The fact that they had Jimi Hendrix opening for them is most baffling. www.ultimateclassicrock.com...
	♥ 11:21pm Gaylord Fields: Hiya, Kenny! No way a Bronx Science man would ever disagree with Nez!
	♥ 11:21pm DanFA: Yeah, Mike. Joke's on you.
	♥ 11:21pm DanFA: On the Love Boat?
	11:22pm Kenny: Micky saw Hendrix at Monterey Pop- where he also ordered his Moog- and decided The Monkees should get him to open for them, which Hendrix’s manager, if not Jimi himself, thought was a good idea.
	♥ 11:23pm Joel: Bespoke. Nice, Amanda.
	11:24pm Chip: Nez produced 'Repo Man "
	11:25pm Kenny: Lol, Gaylord. Don’t know if I ever told you the convoluted tale of how a Science calculus teacher was the first guitar teacher of a guy who became a concert Flamenco guitarist and also taught classical guitar to a guy who played on some big Monkees hits. Actually I think Michael Shelley was going to talk to that latter guy but it never happened.
	♥ 11:26pm DanFA: This is the type of content I come to WFMU for: Simpsons analysis and good tunes
	11:26pm jt: Plate-O-Shrimp
	♥ 11:27pm Aitch: a bit of crumpet would be nice
	♥ 11:29pm Aitch: Corgis are evil and bitey
	11:29pm daikachi: play music
	11:30pm dano59: One Monkees album that gets overlooked: Justus (1994). Mike joined for the sessions, entirely written, produced and played by the four of them.
	♥ 11:31pm evancuts: Rob Tannenbaum
	♥ 11:32pm DanFA: IHeart, run by Bob Pitman, is now trying to unionize with WGA.
	11:35pm daikachi: Actually, the idea of maknig films around a song goes way back to as early as the 1930s with films called "soundies". And then, there was the Beatles two films of Penny Lane and Strwberry Fields in the late 60s.
	♥ 11:35pm Barno: Mike Nesmith is to the Country-Rock hybrid, what David Byrne is to the Brazillian-Rock hybrid.
	11:36pm skyline chili: although it's Davy Jones birthday in England now, and it will be here along with Nesmith in 25 minutes, it won't be for Michael Nesmith until Central Time.
	♥ 11:37pm Fishtown Mike: @Aitch, lol. I've had cardigan & pembroke corgis for years, and I'd suggest slightly malignant rather than evil. And very smart. Too smart at times. But they occasionally try to herd our cats, who resist herding mightily.
	11:40pm PJ: @daikichi: Michael Lindsay-Hogg made music videos for the Stones as well as the Beatles. The idea was that these could be shown on TV (or in theaters) to promote new records when the bands weren't touring or making public appearances.
	♥ 11:41pm Amanda: Corgis’ personality is a bit like a friendly cat
	11:44pm phat in lincoln: I have a cat who is shaped like a corgi! Lol.
	11:45pm phat in lincoln: That First First National Band is a revelation.
	11:46pm daikachi: Ah, St. Matthew. i love singing this one. Thank you!
	11:46pm skyline chili: Also Norma tanega died this day the 29th 2019. I heard no one do a tribute for her today.
	11:49pm Listener: Peace Out Ladies Thanks for the show
	♥ 11:50pm pgalub: Hi Therese, Amanda and Nesmithians! Looking forward to catching the parts I missed on the archives. Sounding fab!
	11:50pm Erica: Me too. I'll catch up on the first hour and a half later.
	♥ 11:50pm Amanda: ♥️✌🏻
	♥ 11:53pm Joel: Therese and Amanda. Thanks so much for tonight's show. This is how radio should always be. The music was inspired and the love was real
	♥ 11:54pm Matt Fiveash: What a great show, start to finish. Thanks youse!
	11:54pm Therese: Thank you, all you lovely folks!
	11:54pm phat in lincoln: One Ton Tomato! OMG, thank you. Sometimes I thought I imagined that joke. But yes, I did watch it. Lol.
	11:54pm daikachi: OK, now my #1 favorite Nesmith tune! I should be on that train and gone!
	11:54pm Andrew S: great tribute, enjoyed it a lot
	♥ 11:54pm Dave the Spazz: Yup, fun show. Thanks!
	11:55pm kwatts: This has been so wonderful thank you.
	11:55pm phat in lincoln: Really great show, yes.
	11:55pm skyline chili: Therese and Amanda Amanda Salamander, love a good Monkees and Monkees solos show. Thanks
	11:55pm Brian: thanks
	♥ 11:55pm Barno: Amanda and Therese, this is the most beautiful Nesmith tribute I've heard. Thank you. I'll be listening to the archive again and again. You're the best!
	11:59pm Elon: No
	11:59pm ?: that was nice
	♥ 11:59pm Fishtown Mike: Great show! Thank you again for all the work putting it together!
	12:00am Da Fairy of Da Locket: What a treat, amazing show! Thank you!
	12:00am Erica: I like Mike's winking. :)
	12:01am Erica: Goodnight all!

	9:41pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: This is amazing, thank you both so much for doing this show! Love the music AND the conversation!
	9:42pm Listener: DJ How long does it take you to pick out 1 show's worth of songs?
	9:43pm theimann: Is there a Mike Nesmith connection with Lee Hazelwood? They have a similar writing style.
	9:43pm Matt Fiveash: Listener- if you’re gonna do the nightclub heckler thing, at least be funny about it. That’s how Nez would have wanted it

	9:50pm Figgsrock: Oh, the Johnny Cash Show version of this (“Nine Times Blue”) is so perfect. This version is great too.
	9:51pm phat in lincoln: Don Kirshner was a business partner with Lester Sill, who had previously been a partner of... Lee Hazlewood. No direct connection that I can tell, though. I did some googling.
	♥ 9:51pm Amanda: Nice sleuthing!
	9:52pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: @Amanda Ha! Seriously, though, I only get my face beat by my makeup artist
	♥ 9:53pm DanFA: Frank Zappa was in Head. Do you think that leant them some cred in the underground/experimental music scene of the time?
	9:53pm phat in lincoln: Sill was all over the music biz in the 50s and 60s. Worked with Lieber and Stoller and Phil Spector, as well.
	9:54pm Listener: Amanda That's about a day every week when you add the actual broadcast! Impressive on many levels That's a lot of happy ears when you think about it
	9:56pm Listener: So it's worth it
	9:57pm phat in lincoln: I've been getting a little obsessed with characters like Sill since I started bingeing on 500songs.com
	♥ 9:59pm MasterofPuberty: "Anywhoozle"! Where have I first heard that? Reggie Watts?

	10:05pm ian: what the heck, this is some serious plate o shrimp moment going on for me
	♥ 10:06pm DanFA: Dick is still with us.
	♥ 10:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: B-Days ! Good point. Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones... A distinctive & important Artist ...& a beloved presence always. Monkees TV is about as deep as roots get.
	10:07pm daikachi: play music
	♥ 10:07pm dave miss: Is Dave Hill to Dick Cavett like Alice Cooper to Groucho Marx?
	♥ 10:07pm evancuts: Not to sound braggy but I helped Dick Cavett sign up for twitter.
	♥ 10:08pm evancuts: I think he still uses the password I created for him.
	♥ 10:08pm Chop Scott: The Long, Sandy Hair of Neftoon Zamora.
	♥ 10:09pm evancuts: Ha! He does. And still uses the photo I took as his profile. That's my laptop: twitter.com...
	♥ 10:10pm DanFA: @dave miss- I think it's more like Dave Hill is to Dick Cavett as King Diamond is to Joe Franklin.
	♥ 10:13pm dave miss: @Dan I would love that is that was true. Alice Cooper used to be friends with Groucho and they were insomniacs, so AC would hang with Groucho and watch tv until Groucho would fall asleep and put out his cigar and cover him with a blanket....that's the legend
	♥ 10:16pm DanFA: @dave miss- I did not know that.
	10:18pm theimann: This is sounding like the James Gang.
	♥ 10:18pm chaos_in_la_la: Its been raining in la_la for the past two weeks. More rain than anybody I know can remember.
	♥ 10:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a fine song & track is Door Into Summer.
	10:20pm phat in lincoln: Door Into Summer has become one of my top 10 pop songs.
	♥ 10:20pm chaos_in_la_la: @theimann- heard that. coincidence, or could be the other way around? That trk came out in '71
	♥ 10:21pm Fishtown Mike: Great show Therese & Amanda! I've really been looking forward to this show! Thanks for putting it together!
	♥ 10:21pm Amanda: Thank you Fishtown Mike :-)
	10:22pm phat in lincoln: @Fishtown Mike ditto
	♥ 10:22pm Amanda: These two tracks are sequential on the album, NO DJING REQUIRED
	10:23pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: Man, Mike really got the best tracks on this album
	♥ 10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Only Sleeping rules too.
	♥ 10:25pm alanSixº: love this version
	♥ 10:25pm alanSixº: i was so happy when i was digging through the 45's and found this
	10:26pm Listener: Amanda Did you used to do the kid show on Saturday morning? Different Amanda?
	10:26pm daikachi: Really? You like this version?
	♥ 10:26pm alanSixº: yeah i love it lol
	♥ 10:27pm Joel: Pisces, Aquarius is a pop masterpiece.
	10:27pm johnk77: great work selecters the title of the door into summer was used by robert heinlein for a novel in 1956
	10:28pm Therese: @Joel: it is a struggle not to keep going back to the Pisces well...
	10:28pm bobob: this version of d drum is bullshit
	♥ 10:28pm Amanda: @Listener yes that was me!
	10:28pm daikachi: Well, this brings it full circle. Me and Maggie.
	♥ 10:29pm listener 126464: Good call.
	10:29pm bobobobob: any body that liked that version of Diff Drum is fuckin Tone Deaf
	♥ 10:30pm alanSixº: lol damn
	10:31pm phat in lincoln: Some grumpy gusses on here tonight.
	10:31pm Listener: OMG! I'm so glad you're alive and doing well, Amanda! You're one of a kind
	♥ 10:32pm listener 126464: open mic night
	10:32pm bobobob: much Better much much better!!!!
	♥ 10:32pm Amanda: @phat I think everyone is mad that the Monkees didn’t play their own instruments
	10:33pm phat in lincoln: Oh Matt...
	♥ 10:33pm Amanda: @Listener How nice thank you!!!
	10:33pm phat in lincoln: @Amanda lol
	10:34pm Listener: No, thank YOU
	♥ 10:35pm listener 126464: Should have added '...on the board' to previous comment.
	10:36pm daikachi: I think this is the second song that I don't understand a direct connection to Mike, because Mickey is singing it. Did Mike write it?
	♥ 10:36pm Amanda: Yes
	10:36pm dano59: Lovin' the different "Drum"s! You two are crushing it
	10:36pm phat in lincoln: I've come to the realization recently that an awful lot of Monkees songs were really sad songs.
	10:36pm Listener: Some of these songs tonight are goodies That Monkees song, Me & Magdalena, I would have NEVER known it was them
	♥ 10:37pm DanFA: George Jones cover? Becky, you there?
	10:38pm phat in lincoln: @Listener it was on their last album, written by Ben Gibbard for them.
	10:38pm aint Paul: The first "real Monkees" song performance-wise, TGTIKS with all of 'em, written and originally sung by Mike.
	10:39pm phat in lincoln: Oh wait, Christmas Party was after that album.
	10:40pm skyline chili: There was only one kid show that I remembered that had the name of Amanda in the title. And that was called The Amanda show hosted by Amanda bynes. If I'm correct of my assumption, then you're trying to say you're Amanda bynes / actress.
	♥ 10:41pm Chop Scott: Great voice--high lonesome.
	10:42pm dano59: omg now i'm crying
	10:42pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: @skyline pretty sure the show they're talking about is Double Dip Recess
	10:43pm Listener: chili Don't worry about Amanda She knows music. If you listen you'll learn something
	10:44pm theimann: I am loving all this, please keep drinking and playing!
	10:45pm Erica: Hi. I normally don't listen to this show (I listen to Testify! on the GTD stream) but I am here for the Mike Nesmith show, even though I'm late.
	10:49pm skyline chili: @Da Fairy of Da Locket: of course, that makes more sense. Why that didn't occur to me, I'll never know. So I'm not too embarrassed to have had that thought. So I can appreciate if everyone would just forget that I text that.
	♥ 10:51pm Gaylord Fields: Hey, Therese and Amanda, did you know this is my favorite Davy-sung Monkees song?
	♥ 10:51pm Amanda: Hi Gaylord! Yes, we knew! And it’s one reason why we played it!
	10:51pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: Davy shaking the heck out of those maracas
	10:53pm Erica: "Eww you like the Monkees?" That Simpsons clip haunts me to this day.
	10:53pm phat in lincoln: Gaylord!
	10:57pm phat in lincoln: Nesmith had a pretty consistent point of view over the years. Maybe a bit cynical.
	10:57pm Kenny: Gaylord! Have been thinking of you recently and the discussion we always have about how Don Kirshner did NOT go to our high school!
	10:57pm phat in lincoln: Seems like
	10:58pm theimann: This is great!
	10:58pm dano59: I was hoping The Simpsons (and Marcia Brady) would make an appearance
	10:59pm Kenny: Although of course Bobby Darin and the maker of Micky’s Moog did.
	10:59pm daikachi: A song about street people. yeah.
	11:00pm phat in lincoln: I literally just thought "Cruisin" sounded like it could fit on this soundtrack.
	♥ 11:00pm Matt Fiveash: You like music? You're gonna love this
	11:00pm sufferwords: The Juicy Bananas with Sy Richardson
	11:01pm phat in lincoln: @Matt Fiveash yes!
	11:02pm phat in lincoln: This soundtrack, man...
	11:02pm sufferwords: Circle Jerk Zander on guitar
	♥ 11:02pm DanFA: @Therese- this should be your hoof n mouth sinfonia song next fundraiser.
	♥ 11:03pm Fuzzy: 5-pound blocks of cheese bags of groceries
	11:04pm dano59: Yer hitting all the high points, and then some! That's it, i'm digging out all my Monkees records after the show - Classic Albums box, the cereal box records, Monkee Business, Headquarters Sessions, Missing Links 1-3, Good Times!
	11:04pm sufferwords: Spanking Monkeys
	11:05pm Therese: @DanFA: Maybe next year...
	♥ 11:05pm Amanda: I need to get both my cars out of this bad area
	♥ 11:05pm Nardo: Love the Cruisin' video too! youtu.be...
	♥ 11:06pm DanFA: @Amanda- I do all my best thinking on the bus
	11:07pm phat in lincoln: I only just this past year or so realized that the music label for Repo Man was created just for that record.
	11:09pm skyline chili: That rumor is just burn into everyone's mind. It's been long since proven they have in fact play their own instruments, they played them live on stage with backup musicians like a lot of the acts of the day did. Mike and Peter were accomplished musicians, Peter even played a multitude of different instruments.Before the monkeys Mickey was in two of his own groups, one was called the missing links, and the other one was Mickey and the one-nighters. He played guitar. And even Davy was in a skiffle group. But despite of all that it will be forever ingrained in the world's consciousness repeating it in a mindless drone like fashion that they didn't play their own instrument's
	11:11pm Da Fairy of Da Locket: Reno? Why Reno?
	11:11pm Erica: Rio is the closest thing the Monkees/Mike Nesmith got to making a "yacht rock" record.
	11:12pm Erica: Unless you count "Capsule".
	♥ 11:12pm Aitch: Show lilting away in the background today very nicely
	11:13pm Erica: But seriously, Rio gives me Jimmy Buffett vibes.
	♥ 11:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: The fact that they had Jimi Hendrix opening for them is most baffling. www.ultimateclassicrock.com...
	♥ 11:21pm Gaylord Fields: Hiya, Kenny! No way a Bronx Science man would ever disagree with Nez!
	♥ 11:21pm DanFA: Yeah, Mike. Joke's on you.
	♥ 11:21pm DanFA: On the Love Boat?
	11:22pm Kenny: Micky saw Hendrix at Monterey Pop- where he also ordered his Moog- and decided The Monkees should get him to open for them, which Hendrix’s manager, if not Jimi himself, thought was a good idea.
	♥ 11:23pm Joel: Bespoke. Nice, Amanda.
	11:24pm Chip: Nez produced 'Repo Man "
	11:25pm Kenny: Lol, Gaylord. Don’t know if I ever told you the convoluted tale of how a Science calculus teacher was the first guitar teacher of a guy who became a concert Flamenco guitarist and also taught classical guitar to a guy who played on some big Monkees hits. Actually I think Michael Shelley was going to talk to that latter guy but it never happened.
	♥ 11:26pm DanFA: This is the type of content I come to WFMU for: Simpsons analysis and good tunes
	11:26pm jt: Plate-O-Shrimp
	♥ 11:27pm Aitch: a bit of crumpet would be nice
	♥ 11:29pm Aitch: Corgis are evil and bitey
	11:29pm daikachi: play music
	11:30pm dano59: One Monkees album that gets overlooked: Justus (1994). Mike joined for the sessions, entirely written, produced and played by the four of them.
	♥ 11:31pm evancuts: Rob Tannenbaum
	♥ 11:32pm DanFA: IHeart, run by Bob Pitman, is now trying to unionize with WGA.
	11:35pm daikachi: Actually, the idea of maknig films around a song goes way back to as early as the 1930s with films called "soundies". And then, there was the Beatles two films of Penny Lane and Strwberry Fields in the late 60s.
	♥ 11:35pm Barno: Mike Nesmith is to the Country-Rock hybrid, what David Byrne is to the Brazillian-Rock hybrid.
	11:36pm skyline chili: although it's Davy Jones birthday in England now, and it will be here along with Nesmith in 25 minutes, it won't be for Michael Nesmith until Central Time.
	♥ 11:37pm Fishtown Mike: @Aitch, lol. I've had cardigan & pembroke corgis for years, and I'd suggest slightly malignant rather than evil. And very smart. Too smart at times. But they occasionally try to herd our cats, who resist herding mightily.
	11:40pm PJ: @daikichi: Michael Lindsay-Hogg made music videos for the Stones as well as the Beatles. The idea was that these could be shown on TV (or in theaters) to promote new records when the bands weren't touring or making public appearances.
	♥ 11:41pm Amanda: Corgis’ personality is a bit like a friendly cat
	11:44pm phat in lincoln: I have a cat who is shaped like a corgi! Lol.
	11:45pm phat in lincoln: That First First National Band is a revelation.
	11:46pm daikachi: Ah, St. Matthew. i love singing this one. Thank you!
	11:46pm skyline chili: Also Norma tanega died this day the 29th 2019. I heard no one do a tribute for her today.
	11:49pm Listener: Peace Out Ladies Thanks for the show
	♥ 11:50pm pgalub: Hi Therese, Amanda and Nesmithians! Looking forward to catching the parts I missed on the archives. Sounding fab!
	11:50pm Erica: Me too. I'll catch up on the first hour and a half later.

	♥ 11:53pm Joel: Therese and Amanda. Thanks so much for tonight's show. This is how radio should always be. The music was inspired and the love was real
	♥ 11:54pm Matt Fiveash: What a great show, start to finish. Thanks youse!
	11:54pm Therese: Thank you, all you lovely folks!
	11:54pm phat in lincoln: One Ton Tomato! OMG, thank you. Sometimes I thought I imagined that joke. But yes, I did watch it. Lol.
	11:54pm daikachi: OK, now my #1 favorite Nesmith tune! I should be on that train and gone!
	11:54pm Andrew S: great tribute, enjoyed it a lot
	♥ 11:54pm Dave the Spazz: Yup, fun show. Thanks!

	11:55pm skyline chili: Therese and Amanda Amanda Salamander, love a good Monkees and Monkees solos show. Thanks
	11:55pm Brian: thanks
	♥ 11:55pm Barno: Amanda and Therese, this is the most beautiful Nesmith tribute I've heard. Thank you. I'll be listening to the archive again and again. You're the best!
	11:59pm Elon: No
	11:59pm ?: that was nice
