	5:18pm MHLee: Ska, truly a multicultural wonder
	5:19pm Mike Rogers: Laurapanic san! I missed you! Ohayougozaimasu!
	5:19pm Mike Rogers: Next up is an early Japanese punk gilrs band. Lolita #18!
	5:21pm MHLee: I would love to see a timeline of how the theme from dragnet became such an omnipresent musical quotation
	5:21pm Rich in Washington: Ohayougozaimasu, Mike san!
	5:22pm mochy: 今日も寒いです！
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: I don't know of Dragnet showed in Japan at that time!
	5:22pm Rich in Washington: I'm officially 'working from home' again, after multiple cases have closed my office.
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: Rich san! Ohayougozaimasu!
	5:23pm Rich in Washington: I'll be Dragnet, especially the late 60s one, would be really surreal to a Japanese audience.
	5:23pm MHLee: The theme goes back to the 1940s irc
	5:24pm Mike Rogers: I Loved Dragnet as a kid.
	5:24pm Aitch: Home office is good. WFMU work radio is gooder.
	5:25pm Mike Rogers: Shoes don't play in Japan at the same time as the USA. For example, the Monkees, they didn't show on TV here until 1984. It was weird seeing big assed posters at record shops in 84 for the Monkees.
	5:25pm Mike Rogers: Yeah Aitch san! But which is Goodest? (Japanese English?)
	5:26pm Mike Rogers: Did you guys hear about UK? They stopped everything about Covid.
	5:26pm Aitch: Home office wins Make san
	5:27pm Feldy: Mike, you've talked about mainstream Japanese radio mostly being bad. What do they play in general?
	5:28pm Mike Rogers: Let's Go's have a new record coming out next week. You'll hear it here first!
	5:28pm MHLee: This is always a clicky star
	5:28pm Mike Rogers: Oh Feldy san, it's really bad. Either Top 40 Japanese idol bands or Justin Beiber and stuff like that.
	5:29pm Feldy: Oh jeez, that's bad!
	5:30pm MHLee: Is Korean music making splashes over there like it is here?
	5:30pm Mike Rogers: I don't like wimpy vocals (male or female) but that's what hits the charts here. I'd tell you the names, but you won't like it. Here's a taste. Bet you can't watch the entire video: www.youtube.com...
	5:30pm ultradamno: Oh, Johnson. He just wants to party without everyone getting on his back about it.
	5:32pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. K-Pop. I don't really like that either. But I understand why kids like it. I mean, I liked the Monkees.
	5:33pm Mike Rogers: I mean, when I was a kid.
	5:34pm Mike Rogers: In Japan, the big TV detective show in the sixties was, "Key Hunter."
	5:35pm MHLee: That's how I regard it... well I still think the monkees had a few tricks of their sleave, like recording "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone"
	5:35pm Stossy Reid: K-Pop things are not music but products, I think. So it means nothing to talk about it with music.
	5:35pm Scott67: Rich, glad to hear you're tucked up safe at home mate. Now grab me a beer will ya, I'm gaggin! 👍😎🍻
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: Key Hunter theme. Way cool: www.youtube.com...
	5:36pm Rich in Washington: I just stopped by the store on the way home and stocked up, Scott.
	5:36pm Rich in Washington: Is he a detective who searches for people's missing keys? I would totally watch that.
	5:36pm Scott67: Cheers Rich!👍😎🍻
	5:37pm Mike Rogers: I've not drank any alcohol in 80 days. My wife says I've been a "Good Boy!"
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: I sure want to drink, though..... I don't care if it is only 7:39 am!!!!
	5:39pm Feldy: I got all excited when I discovered the website Radio.Garden, which let's you move this globe around and pick radio stations from around the world. I found a lot less variety than I expected. A lot of it sounded the same. Pop music replicates like a virus
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: Do you think I have an alcohol problem? Ha! Ha! Ha!
	5:40pm Mike Rogers: Feldy san, the Japanese pop music indistry is everything the USA pop music aspires to become!
	5:40pm Mr Fab: If i don't have any alcohol, that's a problem! (boom, tish)
	5:40pm Scott67: Legendary stuff Mike! Keep it up. I haven't had a beer for 8 hours.... oops! Reset that timer. 🍺😎👣🎶📻🌞🌏
	5:41pm Larry 7: Hi Mike, you had a great show last nite/this morning on Trash Can Radio. You were on fire! What was the band with all the feed back? Is this them too? Gajin Larry
	5:42pm Scott67: Beat me to it Fab!👍😎🍻
	5:43pm Mike Rogers: Hi Larry7 san, Yeah. This is former Shonen Knife Bassist Litsuko's new band. Lots of distortion.
	5:43pm MHLee: @Feldy yeah... something like that happens in African music... I'm a huge fan of the 1970s in Afro-Rock but waves of imports from other African countries often killed the local scenes... I guess a similar thing happens in the Caribbean as a different island's music suddenly overtakes the other
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: Mass commercialized corporate schlonk is runing everything. I think it was Pee Wee Hereman who said to Bruce Springsteen, "You are singlehandly ruining rock n roll."
	5:45pm MHLee: Some countries that are rather isolated seem to have music that's a bit frozen, North Korea's pop for example has something distinctly 60's in it I can't put a finger on
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: It's been a problem for me for 80 days, Mr. Fab!
	5:46pm MHLee: @Mike exactly, I was going to make a joke about New Jersey ruining everything but then remembered where WFMU is
	5:47pm Mike Rogers: Hey, there's lots of VERY young bands coming out. Check out Yee Loi from Liverpool....
	5:49pm MHLee: Play that Soulcrap
	5:50pm Feldy: Interesting @MHLee didn't know that. At least that just means more Afro-beat in the world
	5:50pm ultradamno: Mount Fuji, looking good twitter.com...
	5:51pm Mike Rogers: Hey, it was like that the other day.
	5:51pm Rich in Washington: I have to confess that I had no conception of New Jersey before discovering WFMU. I'd always heard it as a punchline by New Yorkers, etc. And Joe Piscopo's 'I'm from Jersey' guy.
	5:52pm MHLee: They send all their kids to schools outside of state.. and when there is trouble they have a rep
	5:53pm Mike Rogers: Hey, you guys into UFO's & stuff. I swear to god I saw what looked like two clouds in sort of retangular shapes flying overhead at extremely fast speeds. It could not have been clouds these things were going so fast.
	5:53pm Mike Rogers: I have never been to New Jersey! Do they have UFOs there too?
	5:53pm Rich in Washington: Oh weird. Wonder what that could've been?
	5:54pm MHLee: I've only passed through
	5:55pm Mike Rogers: It was at about 4:30 am. So it was sort of dark. No sound, and I'm not hungover. I watched them zip over my head and gone.
	5:55pm ultradamno: UFOs, as a matter of stereotype, keep to the rural parts here.
	5:55pm Stevie Nichts: A lot of people with the DTs see shit like that, Mike.
	5:56pm ultradamno: Unless they're looking to talk to Demi Lovato (she has a whole series on UFO stuff now, if that hasn't made it there)
	5:56pm Mike Rogers: What are DTs?
	5:57pm ultradamno: Delirium tremens
	5:57pm MHLee: I do find it suspicious the us government gathered religious leaders this year to ask how would they respond to aliens
	5:57pm MHLee: I have no idea what that means
	5:58pm Mike Rogers: Me too. I have to look that one up!
	5:59pm MHLee: I was referring to the rabbis talking about aliens but I had to look that up too.
	5:59pm ultradamno: It's like when you're detoxing from chronic alcoholism and get the shakes and become altered
	6:00pm Mike Rogers: Really? That's weird. Why would the government suits ask the church?
	6:00pm ultradamno: UFOlogy is basically a cult religion here, so that may be part of it.
	6:01pm MHLee: thehill.com...
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: Oh? DTs. I'll have to write that down. It'll be my excuse if is F up something.
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: I have to admit, after I saw those clouds zipping by so fast, I thought to myself, "Did I see that?"
	6:02pm MHLee: @Mike there's a company in England... called Vulkan I think... that will press your music to wax cylinder
	6:02pm Mike Rogers: Oh, I have to thank Dj Georgy Girl and Flannery for the shows before mine.
	6:03pm Stevie Nichts: There's a rather fashionable band here in L.A. that named themselves after a Blue Hearts song: "The Linda Linda's".
	6:03pm MHLee: "We make hard-wearing, plastic cylinder records for use on Edison, Columbia and similar cylinder phonographs." It's 2022 guys
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: MH Lee san! That's a great business.
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Yakuza!
	6:06pm Mike Rogers: What is the Vulkan's URL?
	6:06pm MHLee: www.vulcanrecords.com
	6:06pm Power Papi: I liked the musical emphasis on that story!
	6:07pm Carmichael: Heya Mike and head bangers.
	6:07pm Mike Rogers: Cool, Thanks MHLee san!
	6:08pm Mike Rogers: Carmichael san! ohayougozaimasu!
	6:08pm Mike Rogers: Hat Trickers are modern punk in Japan
	6:09pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Power Papi san!
	6:09pm ultradamno: If they're going to stay true to the name they should only have three songs
	6:09pm Scott67: Post just came, with lovely unexpected surprise. A Pixie New Year postcard from Clay Pigeon. 👍😎🍻
	6:09pm MHLee: You're welcome! I try. I appreciate the show being on as I try to figure out my own music.
	6:11pm Mike Rogers: Pixies! I love the Pixies!!!!
	6:13pm Mike Rogers: Portugal Japan only made one record and broke up in true punk fashion!
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: Mochy san! おはようございます！
	6:15pm Power Papi: Really digging this The Mash track!!
	6:16pm MHLee: With so little played on air in japan there must be massive talent simmering undergroud
	6:17pm Mike Rogers: The Mash will perform at my New Year's Party on Feb 7, 2020. The government wants all business closed by 8 pm. But I talked to the club owner and everyone who come that night becomes and exclsuive club member so we are going to party until 12 PM!!!!! Yeah! Always some way around these rules!
	6:17pm Mr Fab: Re: Rich’s previous perception of NJ, I imagine the rest of the world sees the San Fernando Valley the same way - the source of Los Angeles’ jokes and snobbery.
	6:18pm Mike Rogers: MHLee san! Yes. There is. It amazes me that Japanese FM doesn't play it at all. In Fact, like I said, Only 5 FM stations in Tokyo, but they all play the same music. It's weird.
	6:19pm MHLee: The Minnesota Voodoo Men could convince me they were a 60's garage band ala the Gants
	6:19pm Mike Rogers: Hey, Mr. Fab, I lived in San Fernando valley in the late 70s (as a universty student!)
	6:19pm Rich in Washington: my nearest big town is Vancouver Washington, which is just across the Columbia River from Portland Oregon. And Portlanders have this dim view of Vancouver, but it's sort of justified. 'Vancouver Man' is a sort of analog to 'Florida man' in local news.
	6:20pm Carmichael: I live in northern CA, and we certainly have that opinion. Whether it's actually true or not.
	6:20pm MHLee: That's New Jersy Student here in Appalachia @Rich
	6:21pm Rich in Washington: although Vancouver and even my immediate neighborhood are being colonized by people who can no longer afford to live in Portland, or people moving in from other states who WANT to live in Portland but can't afford it.
	6:21pm Mike Rogers: Let's go to the last live of our favorite indies band!
	6:22pm Carmichael: Hey Rich, Portlanders look down their noses at just about everyone. I have family in Aberdeen and Elma.
	6:23pm Mike Rogers: This is actually a bit of a Tearjerker song for me.
	6:24pm Rich in Washington: It's true, Carmichael.
	6:24pm Scott67: Long Gully, the suburb I live in is considered the shithole of Bendigo City.
	6:25pm Mike Rogers: Bands break up all the time... But it's a bummer whne they break up because they do not gain any fame.... But they fucikn' rock!
	6:26pm MHLee: i like this one quite a lot
	6:27pm Stossy Reid: @Mike Rogers the way to hold the party may be controversial. You need due care to announce it, I think.
	6:27pm Scott67: I grew up here, it has changed from an honest working class suburb. But I still call it home.
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab told me that, "Minnesota Voodoo Men are fast becoming one of my favorite bands!" We have a really Cool cover by them coming up. Stay tuned!
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: Stossy san! Yeah, even though this chat is in English, it might be risky. I'll delete that.
	6:28pm MHLee: You've sold me on them
	6:28pm Mr Fab: Mike, is there much college/public/indie radio in Japan? Apart from all the terrible commercial stations.
	6:32pm Carmichael: @Scott, I noticed there is a California Gully nearby. What's up with that?!
	6:33pm Mike Rogers: No college radio here. The government runs a radio station, and amazingly, it is one of the better stations, NHK. The reason there are no internet (I mean workldwide broadcast) and no college stations are two (I figure) 1) Parents figure they don't want to pay a ton of money for their kids to go to university and then get what is called "Water Work" (like prostitution, etc). Working at a radio station may not be too cool for older folks. 2) JASRAC (Japan association of recording artists) is really strict and to this day, they still charge small stations exhorbitant amounts to broadcast music. So we have podcasts with talk only.
	6:34pm Power Papi: Fun fact: Wada Akiko is actually Korean
	6:34pm Stevie Nichts: YESSS! NO MORE "WESTERN" MUSIC!!
	6:34pm ultradamno: This one? It's a real good comp i.discogs.com...
	6:35pm MHLee: And my playlist is complete, so I'll be making dinner in the next room
	6:36pm Mike Rogers: Stevie Nichts san! Did you knwo I was the lead singer of this song? Stevie Nicks Sit on My Face: www.youtube.com...
	6:37pm Mike Rogers: Thanks for solving my dilemma, Stevie Nichts san!
	6:39pm Stevie Nichts: Did I KNOW that? Rogers San, I've FORGOTTEN more about you than YOU'LL ever know!
	6:40pm Mike Rogers: Love this song. S.O.S.
	6:40pm Stossy Reid: Hey Mike. You missed putting 2 songs at the beginning. Teenage Lobotomy / Ramones Always / Satin, Silk & Lace
	6:41pm Rich in Washington: That song's brilliant, Mike! I remember hearing it on a tape of a Rodney at the ROQ show a friend gave me in the mid-ish 80s! Had no idea that was The Rotters!
	6:41pm Mike Rogers: OK. Stevie Nichts san, I am intrigued! Ron Fast? Thomas Chartier? Who? I'd be so surprised to have someone from my past listen to this show. Really, an honor.
	6:41pm Scott67: Carmichael, Cal Gully is a stone's throw away from me. It's from the Gold Rush Days, miners from California stakin a claim.
	6:42pm Mike Rogers: Stossy, that was the station robot. I was having trouble getting the show on air.
	6:43pm Carmichael: Wow, fail in CA so move to Australia? That's quite a trip.
	6:43pm Stevie Nichts: Both good guesses, MR, but "no".
	6:44pm ultradamno: This is the Nippon Girls she has a song on www.discogs.com...
	6:44pm Mike Rogers: By the way, not to rag (why should I brag, I get no money from this)... The second Rotters original Single sold for.... Sitting down? $3000!!!! Sink the Whales!
	6:45pm Scott67: I love the Google Streetview of my are. If you pan it to the back & up of the camera car, someone has drawn a dick & balls on the perspex dome.
	6:45pm ultradamno: ...the one you just played, as it happens
	6:45pm Scott67: Area*
	6:45pm Carmichael: I guess understanding English is optional ...
	6:46pm Feldy: @Ultradamno I didn't know there were more Nippon Girls comps, now I have to get the rest
	6:46pm Mike Rogers: I don't know if this is a terrible or genius.
	6:48pm Mike Rogers: I think there are a total of three, Feldy san!
	6:48pm Mike Rogers: I haven't figured out how that Google Street veiw works.
	6:49pm ultradamno: Yeah, it's a little confusing because the CD and vinyl version have different covers too. The tracklistings might be different, like Back From The Graves are as well, I'm not entirely sure.
	6:50pm Mike Rogers: This band's lead sinegr is the younger brother of Seiji of Guitar Wolf
	6:51pm ultradamno: There are also Nippon Guitars (instrumentals) and Nippon RnR ones www.discogs.com...
	6:51pm Mike Rogers: This band? I only know that the members are from famous bands... But they are keeping their identities a secret for some reason.
	6:52pm Mike Rogers: 5,6,7,8's have something to do with this.
	6:55pm Mike Rogers: There was a brand new Group Sounds album put out the other day, I saw.
	6:56pm Scott67: Thanks Mike, nice & raucous Rock! ✌😎🎶📻🌞🌏
	6:56pm Mike Rogers: Thanks for joining us, Scott67 san! God do I need a drink!
	6:57pm Mike Rogers: Ultradamno san! I didn't know there were instrumental albums too! Wow!
	6:57pm Stevie Nichts: Thank you, Host san!
	6:57pm Mike Rogers: The Routes (on air now) were Honorable mention for some "Best Instrumental" on 2021!
	6:58pm Feldy: Mike, as always a thrill to listen to what's going on sixteen hours in the future
	7:01pm ultradamno: They seem to be all Takeshi Terauchi rather than various artists though
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Feldy san! Another 8 mins left!
	7:04pm ultradamno: ...and the rnr ones are all Masaaki Hirao And His All Stars Wagon, but the surf one and "beat and r&b" one are various artists.
	7:04pm ultradamno: ...and a couple of garage ones too.
	7:10pm Scott67: 👍😎☕ resist Mike!

	5:18pm MHLee: Ska, truly a multicultural wonder
	5:19pm Mike Rogers: Laurapanic san! I missed you! Ohayougozaimasu!
	5:19pm Mike Rogers: Next up is an early Japanese punk gilrs band. Lolita #18!
	5:21pm MHLee: I would love to see a timeline of how the theme from dragnet became such an omnipresent musical quotation
	5:21pm Rich in Washington: Ohayougozaimasu, Mike san!
	5:22pm mochy: 今日も寒いです！
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: I don't know of Dragnet showed in Japan at that time!
	5:22pm Rich in Washington: I'm officially 'working from home' again, after multiple cases have closed my office.
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: Rich san! Ohayougozaimasu!
	5:23pm Rich in Washington: I'll be Dragnet, especially the late 60s one, would be really surreal to a Japanese audience.
	5:23pm MHLee: The theme goes back to the 1940s irc
	5:24pm Mike Rogers: I Loved Dragnet as a kid.
	5:24pm Aitch: Home office is good. WFMU work radio is gooder.
	5:25pm Mike Rogers: Shoes don't play in Japan at the same time as the USA. For example, the Monkees, they didn't show on TV here until 1984. It was weird seeing big assed posters at record shops in 84 for the Monkees.
	5:25pm Mike Rogers: Yeah Aitch san! But which is Goodest? (Japanese English?)
	5:26pm Mike Rogers: Did you guys hear about UK? They stopped everything about Covid.
	5:26pm Aitch: Home office wins Make san
	5:27pm Feldy: Mike, you've talked about mainstream Japanese radio mostly being bad. What do they play in general?
	5:28pm Mike Rogers: Let's Go's have a new record coming out next week. You'll hear it here first!
	5:28pm MHLee: This is always a clicky star
	5:28pm Mike Rogers: Oh Feldy san, it's really bad. Either Top 40 Japanese idol bands or Justin Beiber and stuff like that.
	5:29pm Feldy: Oh jeez, that's bad!
	5:30pm MHLee: Is Korean music making splashes over there like it is here?
	5:30pm Mike Rogers: I don't like wimpy vocals (male or female) but that's what hits the charts here. I'd tell you the names, but you won't like it. Here's a taste. Bet you can't watch the entire video: www.youtube.com...
	5:30pm ultradamno: Oh, Johnson. He just wants to party without everyone getting on his back about it.
	5:32pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. K-Pop. I don't really like that either. But I understand why kids like it. I mean, I liked the Monkees.
	5:33pm Mike Rogers: I mean, when I was a kid.
	5:34pm Mike Rogers: In Japan, the big TV detective show in the sixties was, "Key Hunter."
	5:35pm MHLee: That's how I regard it... well I still think the monkees had a few tricks of their sleave, like recording "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone"
	5:35pm Stossy Reid: K-Pop things are not music but products, I think. So it means nothing to talk about it with music.
	5:35pm Scott67: Rich, glad to hear you're tucked up safe at home mate. Now grab me a beer will ya, I'm gaggin! 👍😎🍻
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: Key Hunter theme. Way cool: www.youtube.com...
	5:36pm Rich in Washington: I just stopped by the store on the way home and stocked up, Scott.
	5:36pm Rich in Washington: Is he a detective who searches for people's missing keys? I would totally watch that.
	5:36pm Scott67: Cheers Rich!👍😎🍻
	5:37pm Mike Rogers: I've not drank any alcohol in 80 days. My wife says I've been a "Good Boy!"
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: I sure want to drink, though..... I don't care if it is only 7:39 am!!!!
	5:39pm Feldy: I got all excited when I discovered the website Radio.Garden, which let's you move this globe around and pick radio stations from around the world. I found a lot less variety than I expected. A lot of it sounded the same. Pop music replicates like a virus
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: Do you think I have an alcohol problem? Ha! Ha! Ha!
	5:40pm Mike Rogers: Feldy san, the Japanese pop music indistry is everything the USA pop music aspires to become!
	5:40pm Mr Fab: If i don't have any alcohol, that's a problem! (boom, tish)
	5:40pm Scott67: Legendary stuff Mike! Keep it up. I haven't had a beer for 8 hours.... oops! Reset that timer. 🍺😎👣🎶📻🌞🌏
	5:41pm Larry 7: Hi Mike, you had a great show last nite/this morning on Trash Can Radio. You were on fire! What was the band with all the feed back? Is this them too? Gajin Larry
	5:42pm Scott67: Beat me to it Fab!👍😎🍻
	5:43pm Mike Rogers: Hi Larry7 san, Yeah. This is former Shonen Knife Bassist Litsuko's new band. Lots of distortion.
	5:43pm MHLee: @Feldy yeah... something like that happens in African music... I'm a huge fan of the 1970s in Afro-Rock but waves of imports from other African countries often killed the local scenes... I guess a similar thing happens in the Caribbean as a different island's music suddenly overtakes the other
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: Mass commercialized corporate schlonk is runing everything. I think it was Pee Wee Hereman who said to Bruce Springsteen, "You are singlehandly ruining rock n roll."
	5:45pm MHLee: Some countries that are rather isolated seem to have music that's a bit frozen, North Korea's pop for example has something distinctly 60's in it I can't put a finger on
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: It's been a problem for me for 80 days, Mr. Fab!
	5:46pm MHLee: @Mike exactly, I was going to make a joke about New Jersey ruining everything but then remembered where WFMU is
	5:47pm Mike Rogers: Hey, there's lots of VERY young bands coming out. Check out Yee Loi from Liverpool....
	5:49pm MHLee: Play that Soulcrap
	5:50pm Feldy: Interesting @MHLee didn't know that. At least that just means more Afro-beat in the world
	5:50pm ultradamno: Mount Fuji, looking good twitter.com...
	5:51pm Mike Rogers: Hey, it was like that the other day.
	5:51pm Rich in Washington: I have to confess that I had no conception of New Jersey before discovering WFMU. I'd always heard it as a punchline by New Yorkers, etc. And Joe Piscopo's 'I'm from Jersey' guy.
	5:52pm MHLee: They send all their kids to schools outside of state.. and when there is trouble they have a rep
	5:53pm Mike Rogers: Hey, you guys into UFO's & stuff. I swear to god I saw what looked like two clouds in sort of retangular shapes flying overhead at extremely fast speeds. It could not have been clouds these things were going so fast.
	5:53pm Mike Rogers: I have never been to New Jersey! Do they have UFOs there too?
	5:53pm Rich in Washington: Oh weird. Wonder what that could've been?
	5:54pm MHLee: I've only passed through
	5:55pm Mike Rogers: It was at about 4:30 am. So it was sort of dark. No sound, and I'm not hungover. I watched them zip over my head and gone.
	5:55pm ultradamno: UFOs, as a matter of stereotype, keep to the rural parts here.
	5:55pm Stevie Nichts: A lot of people with the DTs see shit like that, Mike.
	5:56pm ultradamno: Unless they're looking to talk to Demi Lovato (she has a whole series on UFO stuff now, if that hasn't made it there)
	5:56pm Mike Rogers: What are DTs?
	5:57pm ultradamno: Delirium tremens
	5:57pm MHLee: I do find it suspicious the us government gathered religious leaders this year to ask how would they respond to aliens
	5:57pm MHLee: I have no idea what that means
	5:58pm Mike Rogers: Me too. I have to look that one up!
	5:59pm MHLee: I was referring to the rabbis talking about aliens but I had to look that up too.
	5:59pm ultradamno: It's like when you're detoxing from chronic alcoholism and get the shakes and become altered
	6:00pm Mike Rogers: Really? That's weird. Why would the government suits ask the church?
	6:00pm ultradamno: UFOlogy is basically a cult religion here, so that may be part of it.
	6:01pm MHLee: thehill.com...
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: Oh? DTs. I'll have to write that down. It'll be my excuse if is F up something.
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: I have to admit, after I saw those clouds zipping by so fast, I thought to myself, "Did I see that?"
	6:02pm MHLee: @Mike there's a company in England... called Vulkan I think... that will press your music to wax cylinder
	6:02pm Mike Rogers: Oh, I have to thank Dj Georgy Girl and Flannery for the shows before mine.
	6:03pm Stevie Nichts: There's a rather fashionable band here in L.A. that named themselves after a Blue Hearts song: "The Linda Linda's".
	6:03pm MHLee: "We make hard-wearing, plastic cylinder records for use on Edison, Columbia and similar cylinder phonographs." It's 2022 guys
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: MH Lee san! That's a great business.
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Yakuza!
	6:06pm Mike Rogers: What is the Vulkan's URL?
	6:06pm MHLee: www.vulcanrecords.com
	6:06pm Power Papi: I liked the musical emphasis on that story!
	6:07pm Carmichael: Heya Mike and head bangers.
	6:07pm Mike Rogers: Cool, Thanks MHLee san!
	6:08pm Mike Rogers: Carmichael san! ohayougozaimasu!
	6:08pm Mike Rogers: Hat Trickers are modern punk in Japan
	6:09pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Power Papi san!
	6:09pm ultradamno: If they're going to stay true to the name they should only have three songs
	6:09pm Scott67: Post just came, with lovely unexpected surprise. A Pixie New Year postcard from Clay Pigeon. 👍😎🍻
	6:09pm MHLee: You're welcome! I try. I appreciate the show being on as I try to figure out my own music.
	6:11pm Mike Rogers: Pixies! I love the Pixies!!!!
	6:13pm Mike Rogers: Portugal Japan only made one record and broke up in true punk fashion!
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: Mochy san! おはようございます！
	6:15pm Power Papi: Really digging this The Mash track!!
	6:16pm MHLee: With so little played on air in japan there must be massive talent simmering undergroud
	6:17pm Mike Rogers: The Mash will perform at my New Year's Party on Feb 7, 2020. The government wants all business closed by 8 pm. But I talked to the club owner and everyone who come that night becomes and exclsuive club member so we are going to party until 12 PM!!!!! Yeah! Always some way around these rules!
	6:17pm Mr Fab: Re: Rich’s previous perception of NJ, I imagine the rest of the world sees the San Fernando Valley the same way - the source of Los Angeles’ jokes and snobbery.
	6:18pm Mike Rogers: MHLee san! Yes. There is. It amazes me that Japanese FM doesn't play it at all. In Fact, like I said, Only 5 FM stations in Tokyo, but they all play the same music. It's weird.
	6:19pm MHLee: The Minnesota Voodoo Men could convince me they were a 60's garage band ala the Gants
	6:19pm Mike Rogers: Hey, Mr. Fab, I lived in San Fernando valley in the late 70s (as a universty student!)
	6:19pm Rich in Washington: my nearest big town is Vancouver Washington, which is just across the Columbia River from Portland Oregon. And Portlanders have this dim view of Vancouver, but it's sort of justified. 'Vancouver Man' is a sort of analog to 'Florida man' in local news.
	6:20pm Carmichael: I live in northern CA, and we certainly have that opinion. Whether it's actually true or not.
	6:20pm MHLee: That's New Jersy Student here in Appalachia @Rich
	6:21pm Rich in Washington: although Vancouver and even my immediate neighborhood are being colonized by people who can no longer afford to live in Portland, or people moving in from other states who WANT to live in Portland but can't afford it.
	6:21pm Mike Rogers: Let's go to the last live of our favorite indies band!
	6:22pm Carmichael: Hey Rich, Portlanders look down their noses at just about everyone. I have family in Aberdeen and Elma.
	6:23pm Mike Rogers: This is actually a bit of a Tearjerker song for me.
	6:24pm Rich in Washington: It's true, Carmichael.
	6:24pm Scott67: Long Gully, the suburb I live in is considered the shithole of Bendigo City.
	6:25pm Mike Rogers: Bands break up all the time... But it's a bummer whne they break up because they do not gain any fame.... But they fucikn' rock!
	6:26pm MHLee: i like this one quite a lot
	6:27pm Stossy Reid: @Mike Rogers the way to hold the party may be controversial. You need due care to announce it, I think.
	6:27pm Scott67: I grew up here, it has changed from an honest working class suburb. But I still call it home.
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab told me that, "Minnesota Voodoo Men are fast becoming one of my favorite bands!" We have a really Cool cover by them coming up. Stay tuned!
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: Stossy san! Yeah, even though this chat is in English, it might be risky. I'll delete that.
	6:28pm MHLee: You've sold me on them
	6:28pm Mr Fab: Mike, is there much college/public/indie radio in Japan? Apart from all the terrible commercial stations.
	6:32pm Carmichael: @Scott, I noticed there is a California Gully nearby. What's up with that?!
	6:33pm Mike Rogers: No college radio here. The government runs a radio station, and amazingly, it is one of the better stations, NHK. The reason there are no internet (I mean workldwide broadcast) and no college stations are two (I figure) 1) Parents figure they don't want to pay a ton of money for their kids to go to university and then get what is called "Water Work" (like prostitution, etc). Working at a radio station may not be too cool for older folks. 2) JASRAC (Japan association of recording artists) is really strict and to this day, they still charge small stations exhorbitant amounts to broadcast music. So we have podcasts with talk only.
	6:34pm Power Papi: Fun fact: Wada Akiko is actually Korean
	6:34pm Stevie Nichts: YESSS! NO MORE "WESTERN" MUSIC!!
	6:34pm ultradamno: This one? It's a real good comp i.discogs.com...
	6:35pm MHLee: And my playlist is complete, so I'll be making dinner in the next room
	6:36pm Mike Rogers: Stevie Nichts san! Did you knwo I was the lead singer of this song? Stevie Nicks Sit on My Face: www.youtube.com...
	6:37pm Mike Rogers: Thanks for solving my dilemma, Stevie Nichts san!
	6:39pm Stevie Nichts: Did I KNOW that? Rogers San, I've FORGOTTEN more about you than YOU'LL ever know!
	6:40pm Mike Rogers: Love this song. S.O.S.
	6:40pm Stossy Reid: Hey Mike. You missed putting 2 songs at the beginning. Teenage Lobotomy / Ramones Always / Satin, Silk & Lace
	6:41pm Rich in Washington: That song's brilliant, Mike! I remember hearing it on a tape of a Rodney at the ROQ show a friend gave me in the mid-ish 80s! Had no idea that was The Rotters!
	6:41pm Mike Rogers: OK. Stevie Nichts san, I am intrigued! Ron Fast? Thomas Chartier? Who? I'd be so surprised to have someone from my past listen to this show. Really, an honor.
	6:41pm Scott67: Carmichael, Cal Gully is a stone's throw away from me. It's from the Gold Rush Days, miners from California stakin a claim.
	6:42pm Mike Rogers: Stossy, that was the station robot. I was having trouble getting the show on air.
	6:43pm Carmichael: Wow, fail in CA so move to Australia? That's quite a trip.
	6:43pm Stevie Nichts: Both good guesses, MR, but "no".
	6:44pm ultradamno: This is the Nippon Girls she has a song on www.discogs.com...
	6:44pm Mike Rogers: By the way, not to rag (why should I brag, I get no money from this)... The second Rotters original Single sold for.... Sitting down? $3000!!!! Sink the Whales!
	6:45pm Scott67: I love the Google Streetview of my are. If you pan it to the back & up of the camera car, someone has drawn a dick & balls on the perspex dome.
	6:45pm ultradamno: ...the one you just played, as it happens
	6:45pm Scott67: Area*
	6:45pm Carmichael: I guess understanding English is optional ...
	6:46pm Feldy: @Ultradamno I didn't know there were more Nippon Girls comps, now I have to get the rest
	6:46pm Mike Rogers: I don't know if this is a terrible or genius.
	6:48pm Mike Rogers: I think there are a total of three, Feldy san!
	6:48pm Mike Rogers: I haven't figured out how that Google Street veiw works.
	6:49pm ultradamno: Yeah, it's a little confusing because the CD and vinyl version have different covers too. The tracklistings might be different, like Back From The Graves are as well, I'm not entirely sure.
	6:50pm Mike Rogers: This band's lead sinegr is the younger brother of Seiji of Guitar Wolf
	6:51pm ultradamno: There are also Nippon Guitars (instrumentals) and Nippon RnR ones www.discogs.com...
	6:51pm Mike Rogers: This band? I only know that the members are from famous bands... But they are keeping their identities a secret for some reason.
	6:52pm Mike Rogers: 5,6,7,8's have something to do with this.
	6:55pm Mike Rogers: There was a brand new Group Sounds album put out the other day, I saw.
	6:56pm Scott67: Thanks Mike, nice & raucous Rock! ✌😎🎶📻🌞🌏
	6:56pm Mike Rogers: Thanks for joining us, Scott67 san! God do I need a drink!
	6:57pm Mike Rogers: Ultradamno san! I didn't know there were instrumental albums too! Wow!
	6:57pm Stevie Nichts: Thank you, Host san!
	6:57pm Mike Rogers: The Routes (on air now) were Honorable mention for some "Best Instrumental" on 2021!
	6:58pm Feldy: Mike, as always a thrill to listen to what's going on sixteen hours in the future
	7:01pm ultradamno: They seem to be all Takeshi Terauchi rather than various artists though
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Feldy san! Another 8 mins left!
	7:04pm ultradamno: ...and the rnr ones are all Masaaki Hirao And His All Stars Wagon, but the surf one and "beat and r&b" one are various artists.
	7:04pm ultradamno: ...and a couple of garage ones too.
	7:10pm Scott67: 👍😎☕ resist Mike!
