Listener comments!
	10:18am Listener Baby: Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! is going by very quickly these days. It’s Saturday again? Hi Baby!
	10:20am Michael Shelley: Hey Baby!
	10:59am Handy Haversack: Morning, Michael, Baby, and all the Shelle Gamers! Gonna go make snow brunch but radios are on. FM sounding great in Brooklyn with the signal bouncing off snow and clouds! Michael, I made a snow-weekend baked ziti last night. It's fantastic. I almost took a picture for but was so hungry ...
	11:00am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:01am Frank In Queens: Hey Now!
	11:01am Mister Dobalina: This intro Michael always gets me!
	11:01am Frank In Queens: Is it live or is it Memorex?
	11:01am Squints: Mike The Exterminator. Wasn't he part of the Genovese family?
	11:02am Baja Joe: Morning Mike! Way to kick off show with the ELO!
	11:03am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Michael & all!
	11:03am clarke: hoy new there's no bday party for me in here!!
	11:04am PatrickMC: Bev doing a little disco sounding thing
	11:04am Dennis Diken: go, Mikey! hey gang!
	11:05am Todd-o-phonic Todd: The return of Rory Moon!
	11:05am clarke: we're only here for the ZITI!!!
	11:06am Listener Baby: Double-est D That first set of your latest show was Hall of Fame Radio. I can’t stop listening to it.
	11:06am McGroovey: Signal is great in North Bergen, except that when I sit down in one chair where I like to sit, it fuzzies up the radio. Making waffles, waiting for the waffle iron to heat up. Teenagers are waiting patiently impatiently in their rooms for me to announce that it's time to come and consume.
	11:07am Squints: This might sound stupid but could that ELO track (or any ELO track of that era, really) not be rearranged just as fully for Strats and Teles and make fantastic Ventures records?
	11:08am clarke: move that chair, McG!!
	11:09am clarke: i learned long ago - never force a drive!! there's always a way to wait.
	11:09am Squints: My only knock on A New World Record is that production is a little too... blended enough. A bit more separation, maybe, and make the sound really pop. Wouldn't change a single actual note or part.
	11:10am Pedro in Arlington: Bummed that Marty Stuart got postponed in DC on Thursday. No indication as to why. What say you, No. 1 dj?
	11:10am clarke: agreed Squints - at the time New World Record came out, i was anti-disco - that stance has eased (a bit) these days, and this record stands up.
	11:11am Squints: Signal fine as always fine over the interweb tubes. Power, however, has exhibited quantum behavior.
	11:11am David watts: making elk sausage breakfast sandwiches and listening!
	11:11am Mister Dobalina: Coffee has been made, Aeropress.. baked Beans and scrambled eggs, toast are being craved, but I'm all out of beans.
	11:11am greg g: Happy Saturday!!
	11:11am Wiefwi Beanne: That was some serious pickin' DJ Michael Shelley.
	11:12am Squints: I would absolutely go see Marty Stuart and the Fab Supes play A New World Record arranged for guitars in its entirety.
	11:14am PatrickMC: This is so awesome. Where's Gil
	11:14am J&E in Ithaca NY: What a lovely version of this song!
	11:14am HyperDose: Okay going back for mas cafe. Eeyore type morning
	11:15am Benjamin Kracauer: damn I love this cover
	11:17am Johnny Four Strings: Michael, you're an iron man for getting to the studio today!
	11:17am muddybrookrambler: Thank you for making it in, Michael. Much appreciated!
	11:17am PatrickMC: More sleigh bells!
	11:18am P-90: That there are no Ventures left gives me this little chill of sadness, these things don’t always affect me that much but for whatever reason this really hurts a little…
	11:18am MFlynn: Wow, love this rare Edmunds cover! Thank you Michael, have not heard this beauty in years!!
	11:18am clarke: my woody's inside
	11:18am gf2002: What a great cover of a great song! Wasn't the original used in an episode of Mad Men?
	11:18am Dennis Diken: Sir Baby - many thanks! that set was largely a birthday set for my wife (privately dedicated). your appreciation is deeply appreciated!!
	11:19am gf2002: Edmunds nailed the production on this one
	11:19am Listener Baby: The set overtook me.
	11:19am clarke: bday wishes for Mrs. D!
	11:19am P-90: Happy Birthday @Mrs. Diken!
	11:23am McGroovey: Take the Time: great song. Reminds me of something. Not Honeybus, because I haven't listened to them really. ....
	11:25am clarke: it is almost a chord-turnaround of Honeybus's biggest "hit"
	11:25am P-90: Few certainties in life, but yes we can say for certain that the world was at least a little bit better before Autotune, and would be at least a little bit better now without it.
	11:26am clarke: I Can't Let Maggie Go
	11:26am Squints: This could be a Great Lost Jim Croce song.
	11:26am TVP: A little late, I know what you're saying earlier. I bought a best of album of an Australian singer from the 60s/70s about a year or so again, and most of the songs on it were covers of US/UK hits.
	11:27am PatrickMC: Totally #1
	11:29am Frank In Queens: Love pinball. Just realized I haven't played pinball in almost 3 years.
	11:29am clarke: i don't know P-90 -- seems like 'singing' today means WAAAAY over-singing - whether auto-tuned or not.
	11:29am Listener Baby: For those of on “Lottie” watch. Snowman is on her “to do” list today.
	11:30am Squints: This Barbara Lynn number is real, real good.
	11:30am clarke: i'm on Lottie Watch (.com) = COOL!!
	11:30am myron feld: When I worked at Manic Panic (punk rock clothing shop) on St. Marks Pl, we had a pinball machine and weekly high-score awards. One week the winner was Robert Fripp.
	11:31am clarke: i am a jealous and vicarious noho'er!
	11:31am Michael Shelley: APPLE CAKE: www.nola.com...
	11:31am PatrickMC: Vague memory of Cooks on Rt 1
	11:32am clarke: fripp should have been shopping for clothes instead!!
	11:32am gf2002: @clarke Exactly - The motto being why say/sing with one note what you can say with ten, and with overdone vibrato. A lot due to those TV singing competition shows
	11:32am Listener Baby: Understood, Clarke.
	11:32am Squints: I can't not hear "bundt" in an Andrea Martin Greek voice.
	11:33am myron feld: @Michael Shelley: Mrs. Feld says use Baker’s Joy.
	11:33am bobobob: no stick ..parchment paper on bottom Michael
	11:33am Christina Ginger: Non stick cooking spray and lots of flour will help with the Bundt cake not sticking. But good brands, like Nordicware, should do pretty well with minimal extra treatment.
	11:34am P-90: I’d LOVE to see a faded Polaroid photo of Bob Fripp playing the pinball machine at Manic Panic
	11:34am Frank In Queens: Mega T-Rex vibes on this one.
	11:34am Listener Baby: @Clarke and P90. I wish someone would sing an Anne Murray song on one of those stupid shows.
	11:34am Wiefwi Beanne: From one baker to another DJ Micheal, thanks for the recipie. Has a good beat!
	11:34am bobobob: sometimes cookin spray just not enough
	11:35am clarke: you mean over-sing it
	11:35am Christina Ginger: You also need to let the cake cool a lot before trying to remove it.
	11:35am Michael Shelley: parchment in a Bundt pan?
	11:35am Listener Baby: Or for once, not.
	11:36am clarke: mawnin' Christina (Ms. Low!)!!!
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Brunch is served! Morning, all!
	11:36am myron feld: @P-90: you and me both. But as soon as I can export my pictorial memory of Fripp doing so, I’ll post it.
	11:37am ledzeppelinsucks: Use an applicator like a safe non fiber shedding towel and wipe the grease or oil on the surface of the pan. Refrigerate the pan so it coagulates. Pour in the cooled batter and put it in the heated oven.
	11:37am Christina Ginger: Hi Clarke!
	11:37am P-90: I’m with Christina, try a light, even spritz of Pam and a light dusting of finely sifted flour on that sucker
	11:37am Frank In Queens: @Handy, leftover ziti? That's what I'd be eating!
	11:37am Niko, Copenhagen: Hi, Michael. Where is the Reciepe for the cake? Greetings from Denmark. Always listens in the kitchen while making the Saturday dinner.
	11:37am clarke: i have a question for the crew: sabrett's or nathan's????
	11:38am Handy Haversack: For dinner, Frank! Jalapeno hash and huevos mexicana for brunch.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: @clarke, although it's been decades, Sabrett's was my preference of the two.
	11:38am Wiefwi Beanne: NIKO is on link above in Michael Shelly comment
	11:38am clarke: i'm a total nathan's guy - it's the garlic!!
	11:39am clarke: and yes, i realize some-o-ya's are vegan, sorry!
	11:39am Christina Ginger: You meat eaters need to go to your nearest Wegmans and buy some Zweigles.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: Now I'm a Field Roast man.
	11:40am clarke: as long as there is some Boddington's to wash it down with.
	11:40am Monica: Mike and the Moonpies! Love them
	11:40am Handy Haversack: Those Field Roast frankfurters are good! I like to sautee onion and jalapeno to top them with.
	11:41am Ross T.: Mike and the Moonpies did an LP of "lost" Gary Stewart ("She's Acting Single, I'm Drinking Doubles") music. They're all right in my book.
	11:41am phat in lincoln: Morning!
	11:41am clarke: boy, you gon' turn into a dang jalapeno!!
	11:41am P-90: Also: yes, not rushing a Bundt out of the pan before it’s really had a chance to fully cool is a key discipline to practice (as Bob Fripp might put it)
	11:41am Squints: Ross T, I going right after this show to track that down. I love Gary Stewart.
	11:42am Ross T.: Squints! I thought I was alone.
	11:42am PatrickMC: Nathan's for the dogs and the pinball
	11:43am clarke: huge Gary Stewart fan here.
	11:43am Listener Baby: Crickets like, no?
	11:43am Niko, Copenhagen: @Wiefwi Beanne: Thanks. Got it!
	11:44am Wenzo Toad: thanks Mike!
	11:44am Ross T.: "Your Place or Mine" is among my very very favorite records in any genre.
	11:44am clarke: like crickets, yes!
	11:44am Ross T.: That's a beautiful thing about the WFMU community -- you're not alone!
	11:45am ledzeppelinsucks: When cooking have the device and oil or water heated or boiling before adding the ingredients. Placing vegetables in an oiled pan and then turning on the gas or electricity results in boiled vegetables. Cooking oil and water is not intended to heat with the food it is supposed to cook.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Yarm, that was good. Finally can say hi, Squints, Mister D, Frank, Baja Joe, Greg, clarke(!), Dennis D, the Toddfather, McGroovey, Pedro, greg g, PatrickMC, HyperD, P-90, MFlynn, McGroovey, myron, bobobob, Christina G, Monica, phat, Ross, Wenzo, and all!
	11:47am P-90: RIP BB King’s also
	11:49am clarke: ah, kindler gentler times.
	11:50am PatrickMC: All roads lead to neil Diamond
	11:50am HyperDose: Handy + K8 💨☕ Sending slightly caffeinated pixie to the kittens!
	11:51am P-90: The Ventures are and will always be ENORMOUS in Japan. Like to a degree that would startle many innocent Americans. Like Elvis, Sinatra, and JimI Hendrix combined, that kind of enormous.
	11:51am Frank In Queens: Why sure I'll have another cuppa tea.
	11:51am Handy Haversack: Thanks, HyperDose! They are definitely not fans of this Cone of Shame situation.
	11:51am Monica: Oh, I love Gary Stewart, too. I figured that was implied.
	11:52am clarke: this episode of Haversack's Wild Kingdom is brought to you by King-Dons.
	11:53am Frank In Queens: Ugh, CSG is the worst!
	11:53am Dominick: CSG destroyed many a fine mix
	11:53am clarke: in most cases, frank. sometimes used to good purpose.
	11:54am ?: I think Baby was at that Checkmates show....some small casino kind of on the outskirts....there's a photo somewhere.....
	11:54am PatrickMC: 2 Jewish guys from NY wrote everything
	11:54am Listener Baby: Pure magic!
	11:54am P-90: Imagine being the guy who invented a technology for making records sound consistently terrible
	11:55am clarke: turr-bull.
	11:55am Frank In Queens: @clarke, I've yet to hear a good Haeco-CSG mix, but I haven't heard all of them.
	11:55am Listener Baby: @? I missed that trip. Was sick as a dog. Totally bummed to this day.
	11:55am Dominick: Toni Wine is one of those Jewish "guys"
	11:56am clarke: i can recall liking a few things - although, my memory fails, at this moment (as is oft the case)
	11:56am P-90: Yeah, at one couple of Jewish guys and Carole King wrote most of everything worthwhile
	11:56am Montmaster J: Oh, sorry Baby!......
	11:57am Dennis Diken: Hey Handy!
	11:57am clarke: one of them is Sugar & Spice by The Cryin' Shames, i think??
	11:58am P-90: And Toni Wine. So a couple Jewish guys and a couple Jewish girls wrote almost everything.
	11:58am clarke: speaking of Baby and wine....
	11:58am clarke: ...HOW THEM VINES????
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @clarke, maybe. But since that's from '66, I'm guessing the mono is just superior anyway.
	11:59am Dominick: The idea of CSG was to prevent center panned stuff from building up and swamping side panned stuff. Without it center panned stuff would sound 3dB louder than side panned material when played in mono. However, the cure was worse then the symptom.
	11:59am Dennis Diken: I played in a show with Sonny Charles in ‘16. He was a GASSER!
	12:00pm Handy Haversack: Did he say wmfu.org in the station ID? Is there another, secret website?!
	12:01pm rx scabin: @Handy Haversack A pitbull I had, liked the cone because it made her bark louder. She was a sweet pooch.
	12:02pm P-90: Can’t wait to see Michael chatting about his parenting book with Oprah
	12:02pm Ross T.: Elmo!
	12:02pm steveo: handy, it redirects to a honda dealership
	12:03pm myron feld: @Handy: I heard that, too!
	12:03pm paul: Elmo's eyes are olives.
	12:03pm clarke: ha ha ha
	12:03pm steveo: this song has only just begun
	12:04pm clarke: this is NOT over-singing!!
	12:04pm PatrickMC: What a super great unhip song
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: Is it a free-form Honda dealership? Nice, rx scabin. I think somehow Bagpipe has avoided the Cone of Shame so far. Good, myron! Glad to have some backup!
	12:04pm Johnny Four Strings: Juniper has levels of perception the rest of us can only wonder about. Elmo is indeed in that rug.
	12:04pm Michael Shelley: Dominick: thanks for explaining!
	12:04pm Squints: Lambchop's cover of this never ends.
	12:04pm P-90: Ken’s selling Hondas now to fund the station?
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: Never been a big Carpenters fan, but I played in a Bacharach tribute show years ago, and I gained a healthy appreciation for their music.
	12:05pm Kotzwinkled: Elmo is trapped in that rug like Josie in the endtable knob in Twin Peaks.
	12:05pm PatrickMC: I miss Richard
	12:05pm steveo: "How the Carpenters Used THREE UNRELATED KEYS In a Pop Song"
	12:05pm P-90: Karen is SO amazingly good
	12:06pm clarke: Twin Peaks - Frank??? have you finished or stopped??
	12:06pm gf2002: Joe Osborn was one of the finest electric bassists of all time. I can't think of any tracks where he didn't use a pick, and he never changed the strings on his Jazz Bass, to the point they became worn smooth, yet he was always in tune up and down the neck. Great player, but it is Osborn
	12:06pm paul: Is this from a box set?
	12:06pm clarke: but... i have to say that richard's harmonies are damn fine.
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, finally wrapped it up last night. I'm ready for some movies again.
	12:07pm count Reeshard: Neil Young’s 1st LP is the only reason I’d heard of haeco-CSG. NY said it crushed the dynamics, had the album recalled and - unfortunately - remixed it. (NY later regretted the 2nd mix.)
	12:07pm clarke: whew!!!
	12:07pm paul: Where is that Karen C. song from?
	12:07pm P-90: I’d like to hear that whole album remixed that way too.
	12:08pm DG: Missed it, but I see you played the Edmunds song LONDON's a Lonely Town. I have him doing the original "NY's a Lonely Town' on a U.K. b--side. Was this released somewhere?
	12:08pm Beneath the Underground: Thank YOU, Michael. Blaine and Osborne are heroes of the music, though not nearly widely enough known. And Karen Carpenter’s voice, without the silly harmony overdubs is pure, perfect and utterly artful.
	12:09pm PNX: Doesn't Cousin Kenny play guitar on this Nikki Lane track?
	12:09pm paul: DG, on a Pebbles compilation.
	12:09pm Christina Ginger: Clarke, I think I’m one of the few people who started laughing during the extended mushroom cloud and modern strings music scene in season 3, ep 8.
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: @count Reeshard, Cream - Wheels Of Fire is another prominent release ruined by CSG.
	12:10pm clarke: i'm not sure i made it that far, CG!!
	12:10pm clarke: i stopped when Firewalk came out, basically - what season was that???
	12:11pm P-90: Interesting tidbit about Osborne belonging to the “never change strings unless they break, the more worn-in the better” club
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: Fire Walk With Me was a prequel of sorts, but it came out after Season 2.
	12:12pm Squints: Christina Ginger, I probably chuckled more at the notion of BOB-in-a-pog. I understand why, but still, heh.
	12:12pm Hams: bugaloo!
	12:12pm clarke: the problem with that school is that if you happen to break a string - it stands out as new.
	12:14pm Christina Ginger: So many great bits in the show…. Even if it’s incredibly frustrating.
	12:14pm PatrickMC: More chacha
	12:14pm clarke: i once borrowed a bass from John Stirrat of Wilco, and dunce that i was, broke one of the (ancient) strings trying to tune it with a guitar tuner. he was bummed, but very nice about it, too.
	12:14pm Tome: Tickle me Coffee !<>!
	12:14pm Glistener MW: I recall Soul Coughing did a great cover of The Coffee Song!
	12:15pm Baja Joe: Mike, please share the name of the "good" decaf you found, if you would. Always searching for good decaf myself. I found the McDonald's K-cup decaf to be "ok"
	12:15pm ChuckAmok: potato juice, feh
	12:15pm Montmaster J: Has NRBQ ever covered this ;)
	12:16pm gf2002: Osborn never broke a string on that bass, and he used that same early Fender Jazz Bass on every hit record he played on, from "California Dreaming" to "San Francisco" to "Age Of Aquarius" and all the classic 5th Dimension and Carpenters records. Same bass, same strings.
	12:16pm clarke: (this was pre-snark days)
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: David Lynch has a great sense of humor. I don't think there's anything out of trim about laughing during that scene. Pretty sure I might have a few times, too.
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: star*ucks decaf Caffè Verona
	12:19pm PatrickMC: Back when Slash was the leading issuer of new American music
	12:19pm sonnyspop: Los Lobos started out there a little like Yap, Yap, Yap.
	12:19pm marcel: "Cof-fee" (Dougie)
	12:19pm clarke: carole kaye has said if she ever broke a string she would just order a new bass, and use the strings that came with -- but, she has said a lotta, uh, things.
	12:20pm Christina Ginger: @Handy to this all together, I’d really like to have some coffee with him.
	12:21pm P-90: If you’re into leaving the strings on a bass forever, and you’re playing everything with a pick, you MUST know what you’re doing…
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: David Lynch in "Louie" is amazing
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: Right, Christina Ginger? David Foster Wallace has a fun essay about being on the set of Lost Highway from his first nonfiction collection. Worth reading if you can find it.
	12:22pm DG: Los Lobos are one of the most versatile rock bands I've ever seen. Saw them many times, once at the Beacon they did "Crossroads" that you'd swear was Clapton & co. They embody the spirit of rock & roll & how they're not in the HoF just shows how stupid & blind those judges are. Speaking of great voices, this Cass track...
	12:22pm Joe Melillo: Yeah, being a fan of “organic” music in the early ‘80’s was sometimes polarizing. But fun to find. Slash records, et al.
	12:22pm jillydg: Hi All. Michael, I was listening to Los Lobos this week and thinking exactly that. Kicking myself for bailing on seeing them in Omni-December. Cheers!
	12:23pm Baja Joe: Love Los Lobos. During the time I was regularly buying vinyl, usually from J&R Music in lower Manhattan, I remember buying "Will The Wolf Survive." I bring it home, play it, and it skipped like crazy. Returned it, same thing with the new copy. Drove me nuts when it happened a third time. Lived with the faulty copy. I finally got around to buying the CD and was then able to listen to an unblemished copy of the album. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
	12:23pm Beneath the Underground: Every cut the Wrecking Crew recorded was brilliant. But Mike—where did you find that Only Nust Begun with the iso vocals/drums/bass? It should be required listening for the young
	12:23pm howdy: Goffin/King composition?
	12:23pm goyim in the am: Hey gf — flatwound bass strings were the standard until Rotosound showed up in the 60s; Osbourne (and many others since) liked ‚em with the chrome played off, but they were always smooth.
	12:24pm paul: @Beneath, I was wondering the same thing.
	12:24pm ChuckAmok: nice hook
	12:24pm clarke: push and PILL?? very freudian.
	12:25pm Tome: like this Billy Jo Spears version !<>!
	12:25pm DG: The Cass Elliot track is by Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, one of the THREE Jewish couples (OK, Ellie Greenwich was half) responsible for all those Brill Bldg. hits. They're also the only couple still together, & the only one where both members are still living.
	12:25pm clarke: for Cass, i mean.
	12:25pm PatrickMC: RIP J&R. One of the all time great record/cd stores
	12:25pm Michael Shelley: Found that Carpenters mix here: www.youtube.com...
	12:26pm Baja Joe: @PatrickMC, you know it.
	12:26pm Ross T.: Yes J&R...sigh...
	12:27pm clarke: like flies on shhhhherbert
	12:27pm DG: J&R was great---when I worked downtown for a bit you could find vinyl copies of new releases (in the mid-90s or so), the prices were reasonable, & they had budget CDs too. I wish they'd come back.
	12:27pm P-90: Thanks for that link @Michael Shelley!
	12:28pm gf2002: No doubt, flatwounds were the standard until the later 60's. But consider how many sessions Osborn was playing on a weekly basis, and the fact he never changed his strings yet was never off in the intonation up the neck is pretty amazing. All strings wear out over time, his aged like a fine wine! Wasn't it Entwistle who was one of the first to use Rotosound roundwounds?
	12:30pm HyperDose: Respect to Mama Cass! 🙌🏾‍ That was a great back story
	12:30pm P-90: Yes, Entwistle and Chris Squire popularized the Rotosound round wounds
	12:31pm gf2002: I think it was Hal Blaine who said Joe Osborn used to stack up his cigarette butts on the music stand as he stubbed them out, and if it was a particularly long or stressful session he'd look over at Joe's music stand and see the butts stacked up almost to the top!
	12:32pm PatrickMC: In addition to fantastic non-pop/rock stock, J&R had CD listening stations with old and new discs picked by staff. How I discovered Volunteered Slavery by Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
	12:32pm clarke: the sad part is that hal had to breathe that smoke!
	12:32pm Beneath the Underground: Okay thanks for the link. Wonderful
	12:32pm Shannon: I put both Cissy Strut and Sound and Vision on the first mix CD I ever made for my baby nephew!
	12:33pm myron feld: One of the best Bowie songs, thanks MS! The Davis/Murray/Alomar band was so good.
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: Got K8 humming along!
	12:33pm Baja Joe: I'm so happy right now.
	12:33pm Creature Boy: Uh oh
	12:33pm phat in lincoln: Hot damn.
	12:34pm gf2002: I've had people ask how to get that 60's LA electric bass sound, and I always say get a Fender bass, use a pick, and play through a Fender guitar amp or Fender amp simulation. And use flatwound strings. It was a pretty basic setup but the players knew what the **** they were doing to get those sounds on tape
	12:34pm P-90: I think (not sure) McCartney is using roundwounds on his Ricky by the time of “Sgt Pepper” (prominently on things like “With a Little Help…”’ and “Lucy in the Sky” etc.)
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: The flatwounds make a world of difference.
	12:35pm PatrickMC: CD skip!
	12:35pm clarke: what guitar amp do you suggest??
	12:35pm gf2002: @clarke Almost all those LA studio guys were heavy smokers
	12:35pm Kotzwinkled: I order from Happy Mug online shipped coffee means to my house. They also do ground AND decaf FYI. Great stuff.
	12:36pm clarke: speaking as a non-smoking drummer - you have to huff and puff other people's fumes.
	12:37pm joe mulligan: David Bowie's "Sound and Vision" always makes my ears think of Nick Lowe's "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass" - even though they're not really that similar sounding. maybe it's the rhythm track I don't know
	12:37pm Creature Boy: Carl Smith whose 2nd wife was the GREAT Goldie Hill
	12:38pm annette: @kotz. nothing like half decaf w spices.
	12:39pm gf2002: @clarke For original Fender amps, I'd say a Super Reverb like Kaye used. But make sure it's modified first so you don't blow it out like I did to my '67 Bandmaster head when I put my Jazz bass through it lol. For simulations and modeling amps/software, anything that says "Black Panel" or "Twin" usually does the job. It's all about the voicing and the EQ, and I've found as soon as you run a Fender bass through a 60's Fender emulation in that software, it gets close. But the pick is essential to really nail it.
	12:39pm Rex: I love the listeners, but I have all these cinnamon rolls to eat and a crackling fire to sit in front of out here in snowy St George...
	12:39pm clarke: danke!
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: and, you stole my water!
	12:41pm Handy Haversack: clarke, I was trying to find for you the Bloom County strip where Opus is caught between a chain-smoking Steve Dallas and a chain-pastrami-burping Portnoy, but the internet is letting me down. Take the effort as genuine sympathy, though!
	12:41pm GeoSinPhilly: That Carl Smith sounds like the model for Robbie Fulks' "Let's Live Toghether."
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: and, I was suppose to see some pictures!
	12:41pm clarke: we've all goofed on some equipment, ha ha.
	12:42pm Michael Shelley: AND REX - today's ending is a REX REQUEST!
	12:42pm PatrickMC: Winterland in St. George. Why ever leave?
	12:43pm clarke: HH - Bloom County (i think) has the bar Booche's? if so, that is a REAL bar in columbia, MO - great burgers!!!
	12:43pm P-90: Hey Rex, is Satan Island surrounded by ice floes yet? With Polar Bears selling Italian Ices?
	12:45pm Pedro in Arlington: If you work from a fur-lined fallout shelter miles below the earth's crust, is snow a thing?
	12:45pm Rex: Nothing but wild turkeys in parkas out here on the rock.
	12:45pm gf2002: My Bandmaster and Jazz Bass sounded amazing for a few minutes...that classic tone you always search for...then literally it just shut down as I was playing. Cost a bunch to repair it, and then I was informed you have to do a few mods if you want to run a bass through an old Fender tube guitar amp lol. Costly lesson.
	12:46pm Larry 7: Mad Twists Rock n Roll! Had this as a child.
	12:46pm Cooh John: I have some pretzels right here. Yum.
	12:46pm goyim in the am: What you really want is an Ampeg B-15. this is a NJ station.
	12:47pm clarke: yes, GF, but at least you ruined YOUR stuff - not someone else's - that's the worst feeling.
	12:47pm Creature Boy: Hadn't heard about the Dallas Frazier thing neither
	12:47pm annette: my glittery fender bass with flat wounds is somewhere in the jersey hood singing praise in a church. btw every sat women in the church cooking food and sending out to poor
	12:49pm Layet Johnson: Hey y’all from Arkansas. Great jams, Michael!
	12:50pm gf2002: @clarke yes indeed!
	12:50pm Rex: Pedro- The hatch door to the Furlined Fallout is under 10 inches of snow (and these hot cinnamon rolls aren’t gonna eat themselves)..
	12:50pm clarke: he don't like queens and he don't like manhatten
	12:50pm Wiefwi Beanne: I just bought the apples for the recipe. DJ Michael.
	12:50pm Creature Boy: Tofurky has got me....on the run
	12:51pm Layet Johnson: Arkan-songs and vegan recipes! Today’s show is for me! Thanks Mike.
	12:51pm robin: "tell coco to make it"? jeez michael...7 traditional gender roles much? 🤦🏻‍♀️
	12:51pm evancuts: How about that recipe for the dessert you brought to Don and Margaret's house? THAT was a #1 hit!
	12:52pm P-90: I only have one bass, a 1969 Rickenbacker. Always roundwounds, played with a pick. You could argue that the. Rickenbacker and the Fender bass are two different instruments, rather than two versions of the same one…
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: Rex, do you have the ingredients for several rounds of ICE STATION REINDEERS?
	12:52pm Christina Ginger: Super easy to veganize if you use JUST egg, or a flax egg, as the flax would get hidden in the texture of the cake. For the topping, there’s no reason why you couldn’t use a good dairy free milk with lemon juice and the rest. Or make a thinned out homemade almond/cashew cream… does that cake really need 3 cups of sugar, though?
	12:52pm Michael Shelley: Robin - cheap shot - if you know Coco (and I do for 30 years) you would know that she's a great cook - and Rex, not so much
	12:52pm P-90: And I haven’t baked a Bundt in years, so what do I know?
	12:53pm paul: If the Doors were founded in 1957, they would have sounded like the Embers.
	12:53pm gf2002: @P-90, totally agree. The Rickenbacker is and always has been its own thing, nothing else sounds like a Rick bass.
	12:55pm annette: NRBQ. NRBQ. NRBQ. YAY
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: Christina Ginger: have you and Frank tried that eggplant with black pepper sauce that I posted for him a week or two back? K8 really dug that one, so I'll be making it more.
	12:55pm clarke: * * *
	12:56pm PatrickMC: A genuine #1 on MS's hit parade
	12:56pm steveo: mi cerebro es HECHO de chicle
	12:56pm Pedro in Arlington: Starting Gofundme to send a Saint Bernard with several chilidogs to Rex. Cinnamon rolls did little for Pompeii.
	12:57pm PatrickMC: Mama!
	12:57pm morphe': Thanks Mikey and all !!!!
	12:57pm McGroovey: Fine show. All the waffles got eaten. The kids are going sledding now. They're old enough that we can stay indoors
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feeling you been 86'd? good nite.
	12:58pm steveo: Thank you for the wonderful show!
	12:58pm KWilde: Thanks Michael! Have a safe drive home!
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Gonna grab that Nuevo album next Friday. Take it easy, everyone!
	12:58pm P-90: @gf2002: I realized a long time ago that you could do a band with a bassist playing a Fender, even a five or six-string variation, and another bassist playing the Ricky, with a pick and playing up high on the neck a lot, almost in baritone guitar territory.
	12:58pm PatrickMC: Mmm cinnamon gender rolls...
	12:59pm paul: Miss HH in Chicago.
	12:59pm Rex: Thanks Michael and thanks Hamburger Hamlet!
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael! Stay warm and safe everyone in the NE.
	1:00pm P-90: Now I’m craving “alleged cinnamon rolls”
	1:00pm Christina Ginger: Clarke- that sounds great. But frank forgot to mention it to me. Send it along again if you can, other wise, wait until topt.
	1:00pm robin: but michael, your listeners (including myself) don't know that! context is important.
	1:02pm clarke: @christina -- that was Handy - but i will be on TopT's chat, anyway - see ya there
	1:14pm BARBARA J Ruby-MURRAY: Hi Michael, I can't find that recipe you spoke about apple like cake, where can i find it in your archives please, cause the granola rfecipe was very good so I'm going to try this cake, thanks Barbara
	5:01pm evahilary: Listening to the archive. I loved Cooks! Pinball heaven. I loved your comments about it. Now I'm imagining that it was a place to employ people in witness protection!

Listener comments!
	10:18am Listener Baby: Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! (Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk) Time! is going by very quickly these days. It’s Saturday again? Hi Baby!
	10:20am Michael Shelley: Hey Baby!
	10:59am Handy Haversack: Morning, Michael, Baby, and all the Shelle Gamers! Gonna go make snow brunch but radios are on. FM sounding great in Brooklyn with the signal bouncing off snow and clouds! Michael, I made a snow-weekend baked ziti last night. It's fantastic. I almost took a picture for but was so hungry ...
	11:00am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:01am Frank In Queens: Hey Now!
	11:01am Mister Dobalina: This intro Michael always gets me!
	11:01am Frank In Queens: Is it live or is it Memorex?
	11:01am Squints: Mike The Exterminator. Wasn't he part of the Genovese family?
	11:02am Baja Joe: Morning Mike! Way to kick off show with the ELO!
	11:03am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Michael & all!
	11:03am clarke: hoy new there's no bday party for me in here!!
	11:04am PatrickMC: Bev doing a little disco sounding thing
	11:04am Dennis Diken: go, Mikey! hey gang!
	11:05am Todd-o-phonic Todd: The return of Rory Moon!
	11:05am clarke: we're only here for the ZITI!!!
	11:06am Listener Baby: Double-est D That first set of your latest show was Hall of Fame Radio. I can’t stop listening to it.
	11:06am McGroovey: Signal is great in North Bergen, except that when I sit down in one chair where I like to sit, it fuzzies up the radio. Making waffles, waiting for the waffle iron to heat up. Teenagers are waiting patiently impatiently in their rooms for me to announce that it's time to come and consume.
	11:07am Squints: This might sound stupid but could that ELO track (or any ELO track of that era, really) not be rearranged just as fully for Strats and Teles and make fantastic Ventures records?
	11:08am clarke: move that chair, McG!!
	11:09am clarke: i learned long ago - never force a drive!! there's always a way to wait.
	11:09am Squints: My only knock on A New World Record is that production is a little too... blended enough. A bit more separation, maybe, and make the sound really pop. Wouldn't change a single actual note or part.
	11:10am Pedro in Arlington: Bummed that Marty Stuart got postponed in DC on Thursday. No indication as to why. What say you, No. 1 dj?
	11:10am clarke: agreed Squints - at the time New World Record came out, i was anti-disco - that stance has eased (a bit) these days, and this record stands up.
	11:11am Squints: Signal fine as always fine over the interweb tubes. Power, however, has exhibited quantum behavior.
	11:11am David watts: making elk sausage breakfast sandwiches and listening!
	11:11am Mister Dobalina: Coffee has been made, Aeropress.. baked Beans and scrambled eggs, toast are being craved, but I'm all out of beans.
	11:11am greg g: Happy Saturday!!
	11:11am Wiefwi Beanne: That was some serious pickin' DJ Michael Shelley.
	11:12am Squints: I would absolutely go see Marty Stuart and the Fab Supes play A New World Record arranged for guitars in its entirety.
	11:14am PatrickMC: This is so awesome. Where's Gil
	11:14am J&E in Ithaca NY: What a lovely version of this song!
	11:14am HyperDose: Okay going back for mas cafe. Eeyore type morning
	11:15am Benjamin Kracauer: damn I love this cover
	11:17am Johnny Four Strings: Michael, you're an iron man for getting to the studio today!
	11:17am muddybrookrambler: Thank you for making it in, Michael. Much appreciated!
	11:17am PatrickMC: More sleigh bells!
	11:18am P-90: That there are no Ventures left gives me this little chill of sadness, these things don’t always affect me that much but for whatever reason this really hurts a little…
	11:18am MFlynn: Wow, love this rare Edmunds cover! Thank you Michael, have not heard this beauty in years!!
	11:18am clarke: my woody's inside
	11:18am gf2002: What a great cover of a great song! Wasn't the original used in an episode of Mad Men?
	11:18am Dennis Diken: Sir Baby - many thanks! that set was largely a birthday set for my wife (privately dedicated). your appreciation is deeply appreciated!!
	11:19am gf2002: Edmunds nailed the production on this one
	11:19am Listener Baby: The set overtook me.
	11:19am clarke: bday wishes for Mrs. D!
	11:19am P-90: Happy Birthday @Mrs. Diken!
	11:23am McGroovey: Take the Time: great song. Reminds me of something. Not Honeybus, because I haven't listened to them really. ....
	11:25am clarke: it is almost a chord-turnaround of Honeybus's biggest "hit"
	11:25am P-90: Few certainties in life, but yes we can say for certain that the world was at least a little bit better before Autotune, and would be at least a little bit better now without it.
	11:26am clarke: I Can't Let Maggie Go
	11:26am Squints: This could be a Great Lost Jim Croce song.
	11:26am TVP: A little late, I know what you're saying earlier. I bought a best of album of an Australian singer from the 60s/70s about a year or so again, and most of the songs on it were covers of US/UK hits.
	11:27am PatrickMC: Totally #1
	11:29am Frank In Queens: Love pinball. Just realized I haven't played pinball in almost 3 years.
	11:29am clarke: i don't know P-90 -- seems like 'singing' today means WAAAAY over-singing - whether auto-tuned or not.
	11:29am Listener Baby: For those of on “Lottie” watch. Snowman is on her “to do” list today.
	11:30am Squints: This Barbara Lynn number is real, real good.
	11:30am clarke: i'm on Lottie Watch (.com) = COOL!!
	11:30am myron feld: When I worked at Manic Panic (punk rock clothing shop) on St. Marks Pl, we had a pinball machine and weekly high-score awards. One week the winner was Robert Fripp.
	11:31am clarke: i am a jealous and vicarious noho'er!
	11:31am Michael Shelley: APPLE CAKE: www.nola.com...
	11:31am PatrickMC: Vague memory of Cooks on Rt 1
	11:32am clarke: fripp should have been shopping for clothes instead!!
	11:32am gf2002: @clarke Exactly - The motto being why say/sing with one note what you can say with ten, and with overdone vibrato. A lot due to those TV singing competition shows
	11:32am Listener Baby: Understood, Clarke.
	11:32am Squints: I can't not hear "bundt" in an Andrea Martin Greek voice.
	11:33am myron feld: @Michael Shelley: Mrs. Feld says use Baker’s Joy.
	11:33am bobobob: no stick ..parchment paper on bottom Michael
	11:33am Christina Ginger: Non stick cooking spray and lots of flour will help with the Bundt cake not sticking. But good brands, like Nordicware, should do pretty well with minimal extra treatment.
	11:34am P-90: I’d LOVE to see a faded Polaroid photo of Bob Fripp playing the pinball machine at Manic Panic
	11:34am Frank In Queens: Mega T-Rex vibes on this one.
	11:34am Listener Baby: @Clarke and P90. I wish someone would sing an Anne Murray song on one of those stupid shows.
	11:34am Wiefwi Beanne: From one baker to another DJ Micheal, thanks for the recipie. Has a good beat!
	11:34am bobobob: sometimes cookin spray just not enough
	11:35am clarke: you mean over-sing it
	11:35am Christina Ginger: You also need to let the cake cool a lot before trying to remove it.
	11:35am Michael Shelley: parchment in a Bundt pan?
	11:35am Listener Baby: Or for once, not.
	11:36am clarke: mawnin' Christina (Ms. Low!)!!!
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Brunch is served! Morning, all!
	11:36am myron feld: @P-90: you and me both. But as soon as I can export my pictorial memory of Fripp doing so, I’ll post it.
	11:37am ledzeppelinsucks: Use an applicator like a safe non fiber shedding towel and wipe the grease or oil on the surface of the pan. Refrigerate the pan so it coagulates. Pour in the cooled batter and put it in the heated oven.
	11:37am Christina Ginger: Hi Clarke!
	11:37am P-90: I’m with Christina, try a light, even spritz of Pam and a light dusting of finely sifted flour on that sucker
	11:37am Frank In Queens: @Handy, leftover ziti? That's what I'd be eating!
	11:37am Niko, Copenhagen: Hi, Michael. Where is the Reciepe for the cake? Greetings from Denmark. Always listens in the kitchen while making the Saturday dinner.
	11:37am clarke: i have a question for the crew: sabrett's or nathan's????
	11:38am Handy Haversack: For dinner, Frank! Jalapeno hash and huevos mexicana for brunch.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: @clarke, although it's been decades, Sabrett's was my preference of the two.
	11:38am Wiefwi Beanne: NIKO is on link above in Michael Shelly comment
	11:38am clarke: i'm a total nathan's guy - it's the garlic!!
	11:39am clarke: and yes, i realize some-o-ya's are vegan, sorry!
	11:39am Christina Ginger: You meat eaters need to go to your nearest Wegmans and buy some Zweigles.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: Now I'm a Field Roast man.
	11:40am clarke: as long as there is some Boddington's to wash it down with.
	11:40am Monica: Mike and the Moonpies! Love them
	11:40am Handy Haversack: Those Field Roast frankfurters are good! I like to sautee onion and jalapeno to top them with.
	11:41am Ross T.: Mike and the Moonpies did an LP of "lost" Gary Stewart ("She's Acting Single, I'm Drinking Doubles") music. They're all right in my book.
	11:41am phat in lincoln: Morning!
	11:41am clarke: boy, you gon' turn into a dang jalapeno!!
	11:41am P-90: Also: yes, not rushing a Bundt out of the pan before it’s really had a chance to fully cool is a key discipline to practice (as Bob Fripp might put it)
	11:41am Squints: Ross T, I going right after this show to track that down. I love Gary Stewart.
	11:42am Ross T.: Squints! I thought I was alone.
	11:42am PatrickMC: Nathan's for the dogs and the pinball
	11:43am clarke: huge Gary Stewart fan here.
	11:43am Listener Baby: Crickets like, no?
	11:43am Niko, Copenhagen: @Wiefwi Beanne: Thanks. Got it!
	11:44am Wenzo Toad: thanks Mike!
	11:44am Ross T.: "Your Place or Mine" is among my very very favorite records in any genre.
	11:44am clarke: like crickets, yes!
	11:44am Ross T.: That's a beautiful thing about the WFMU community -- you're not alone!
	11:45am ledzeppelinsucks: When cooking have the device and oil or water heated or boiling before adding the ingredients. Placing vegetables in an oiled pan and then turning on the gas or electricity results in boiled vegetables. Cooking oil and water is not intended to heat with the food it is supposed to cook.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Yarm, that was good. Finally can say hi, Squints, Mister D, Frank, Baja Joe, Greg, clarke(!), Dennis D, the Toddfather, McGroovey, Pedro, greg g, PatrickMC, HyperD, P-90, MFlynn, McGroovey, myron, bobobob, Christina G, Monica, phat, Ross, Wenzo, and all!
	11:47am P-90: RIP BB King’s also
	11:49am clarke: ah, kindler gentler times.
	11:50am PatrickMC: All roads lead to neil Diamond
	11:50am HyperDose: Handy + K8 💨☕ Sending slightly caffeinated pixie to the kittens!
	11:51am P-90: The Ventures are and will always be ENORMOUS in Japan. Like to a degree that would startle many innocent Americans. Like Elvis, Sinatra, and JimI Hendrix combined, that kind of enormous.
	11:51am Frank In Queens: Why sure I'll have another cuppa tea.
	11:51am Handy Haversack: Thanks, HyperDose! They are definitely not fans of this Cone of Shame situation.
	11:51am Monica: Oh, I love Gary Stewart, too. I figured that was implied.
	11:52am clarke: this episode of Haversack's Wild Kingdom is brought to you by King-Dons.
	11:53am Frank In Queens: Ugh, CSG is the worst!
	11:53am Dominick: CSG destroyed many a fine mix
	11:53am clarke: in most cases, frank. sometimes used to good purpose.
	11:54am ?: I think Baby was at that Checkmates show....some small casino kind of on the outskirts....there's a photo somewhere.....
	11:54am PatrickMC: 2 Jewish guys from NY wrote everything
	11:54am Listener Baby: Pure magic!
	11:54am P-90: Imagine being the guy who invented a technology for making records sound consistently terrible
	11:55am clarke: turr-bull.
	11:55am Frank In Queens: @clarke, I've yet to hear a good Haeco-CSG mix, but I haven't heard all of them.
	11:55am Listener Baby: @? I missed that trip. Was sick as a dog. Totally bummed to this day.
	11:55am Dominick: Toni Wine is one of those Jewish "guys"
	11:56am clarke: i can recall liking a few things - although, my memory fails, at this moment (as is oft the case)
	11:56am P-90: Yeah, at one couple of Jewish guys and Carole King wrote most of everything worthwhile
	11:56am Montmaster J: Oh, sorry Baby!......
	11:57am Dennis Diken: Hey Handy!
	11:57am clarke: one of them is Sugar & Spice by The Cryin' Shames, i think??
	11:58am P-90: And Toni Wine. So a couple Jewish guys and a couple Jewish girls wrote almost everything.
	11:58am clarke: speaking of Baby and wine....
	11:58am clarke: ...HOW THEM VINES????
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @clarke, maybe. But since that's from '66, I'm guessing the mono is just superior anyway.
	11:59am Dominick: The idea of CSG was to prevent center panned stuff from building up and swamping side panned stuff. Without it center panned stuff would sound 3dB louder than side panned material when played in mono. However, the cure was worse then the symptom.
	11:59am Dennis Diken: I played in a show with Sonny Charles in ‘16. He was a GASSER!
	12:00pm Handy Haversack: Did he say wmfu.org in the station ID? Is there another, secret website?!
	12:01pm rx scabin: @Handy Haversack A pitbull I had, liked the cone because it made her bark louder. She was a sweet pooch.
	12:02pm P-90: Can’t wait to see Michael chatting about his parenting book with Oprah
	12:02pm Ross T.: Elmo!
	12:02pm steveo: handy, it redirects to a honda dealership
	12:03pm myron feld: @Handy: I heard that, too!
	12:03pm paul: Elmo's eyes are olives.
	12:03pm clarke: ha ha ha
	12:03pm steveo: this song has only just begun
	12:04pm clarke: this is NOT over-singing!!
	12:04pm PatrickMC: What a super great unhip song
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: Is it a free-form Honda dealership? Nice, rx scabin. I think somehow Bagpipe has avoided the Cone of Shame so far. Good, myron! Glad to have some backup!
	12:04pm Johnny Four Strings: Juniper has levels of perception the rest of us can only wonder about. Elmo is indeed in that rug.
	12:04pm Michael Shelley: Dominick: thanks for explaining!
	12:04pm Squints: Lambchop's cover of this never ends.
	12:04pm P-90: Ken’s selling Hondas now to fund the station?
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: Never been a big Carpenters fan, but I played in a Bacharach tribute show years ago, and I gained a healthy appreciation for their music.
	12:05pm Kotzwinkled: Elmo is trapped in that rug like Josie in the endtable knob in Twin Peaks.
	12:05pm PatrickMC: I miss Richard
	12:05pm steveo: "How the Carpenters Used THREE UNRELATED KEYS In a Pop Song"
	12:05pm P-90: Karen is SO amazingly good
	12:06pm clarke: Twin Peaks - Frank??? have you finished or stopped??
	12:06pm gf2002: Joe Osborn was one of the finest electric bassists of all time. I can't think of any tracks where he didn't use a pick, and he never changed the strings on his Jazz Bass, to the point they became worn smooth, yet he was always in tune up and down the neck. Great player, but it is Osborn
	12:06pm paul: Is this from a box set?
	12:06pm clarke: but... i have to say that richard's harmonies are damn fine.
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, finally wrapped it up last night. I'm ready for some movies again.
	12:07pm count Reeshard: Neil Young’s 1st LP is the only reason I’d heard of haeco-CSG. NY said it crushed the dynamics, had the album recalled and - unfortunately - remixed it. (NY later regretted the 2nd mix.)
	12:07pm clarke: whew!!!
	12:07pm paul: Where is that Karen C. song from?
	12:07pm P-90: I’d like to hear that whole album remixed that way too.
	12:08pm DG: Missed it, but I see you played the Edmunds song LONDON's a Lonely Town. I have him doing the original "NY's a Lonely Town' on a U.K. b--side. Was this released somewhere?
	12:08pm Beneath the Underground: Thank YOU, Michael. Blaine and Osborne are heroes of the music, though not nearly widely enough known. And Karen Carpenter’s voice, without the silly harmony overdubs is pure, perfect and utterly artful.
	12:09pm PNX: Doesn't Cousin Kenny play guitar on this Nikki Lane track?
	12:09pm paul: DG, on a Pebbles compilation.
	12:09pm Christina Ginger: Clarke, I think I’m one of the few people who started laughing during the extended mushroom cloud and modern strings music scene in season 3, ep 8.
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: @count Reeshard, Cream - Wheels Of Fire is another prominent release ruined by CSG.
	12:10pm clarke: i'm not sure i made it that far, CG!!
	12:10pm clarke: i stopped when Firewalk came out, basically - what season was that???
	12:11pm P-90: Interesting tidbit about Osborne belonging to the “never change strings unless they break, the more worn-in the better” club
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: Fire Walk With Me was a prequel of sorts, but it came out after Season 2.
	12:12pm Squints: Christina Ginger, I probably chuckled more at the notion of BOB-in-a-pog. I understand why, but still, heh.
	12:12pm Hams: bugaloo!
	12:12pm clarke: the problem with that school is that if you happen to break a string - it stands out as new.
	12:14pm Christina Ginger: So many great bits in the show…. Even if it’s incredibly frustrating.
	12:14pm PatrickMC: More chacha
	12:14pm clarke: i once borrowed a bass from John Stirrat of Wilco, and dunce that i was, broke one of the (ancient) strings trying to tune it with a guitar tuner. he was bummed, but very nice about it, too.
	12:14pm Tome: Tickle me Coffee !<>!
	12:14pm Glistener MW: I recall Soul Coughing did a great cover of The Coffee Song!
	12:15pm Baja Joe: Mike, please share the name of the "good" decaf you found, if you would. Always searching for good decaf myself. I found the McDonald's K-cup decaf to be "ok"
	12:15pm ChuckAmok: potato juice, feh
	12:15pm Montmaster J: Has NRBQ ever covered this ;)
	12:16pm gf2002: Osborn never broke a string on that bass, and he used that same early Fender Jazz Bass on every hit record he played on, from "California Dreaming" to "San Francisco" to "Age Of Aquarius" and all the classic 5th Dimension and Carpenters records. Same bass, same strings.
	12:16pm clarke: (this was pre-snark days)
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: David Lynch has a great sense of humor. I don't think there's anything out of trim about laughing during that scene. Pretty sure I might have a few times, too.
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: star*ucks decaf Caffè Verona
	12:19pm PatrickMC: Back when Slash was the leading issuer of new American music
	12:19pm sonnyspop: Los Lobos started out there a little like Yap, Yap, Yap.
	12:19pm marcel: "Cof-fee" (Dougie)
	12:19pm clarke: carole kaye has said if she ever broke a string she would just order a new bass, and use the strings that came with -- but, she has said a lotta, uh, things.
	12:20pm Christina Ginger: @Handy to this all together, I’d really like to have some coffee with him.
	12:21pm P-90: If you’re into leaving the strings on a bass forever, and you’re playing everything with a pick, you MUST know what you’re doing…
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: David Lynch in "Louie" is amazing
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: Right, Christina Ginger? David Foster Wallace has a fun essay about being on the set of Lost Highway from his first nonfiction collection. Worth reading if you can find it.
	12:22pm DG: Los Lobos are one of the most versatile rock bands I've ever seen. Saw them many times, once at the Beacon they did "Crossroads" that you'd swear was Clapton & co. They embody the spirit of rock & roll & how they're not in the HoF just shows how stupid & blind those judges are. Speaking of great voices, this Cass track...
	12:22pm Joe Melillo: Yeah, being a fan of “organic” music in the early ‘80’s was sometimes polarizing. But fun to find. Slash records, et al.
	12:22pm jillydg: Hi All. Michael, I was listening to Los Lobos this week and thinking exactly that. Kicking myself for bailing on seeing them in Omni-December. Cheers!
	12:23pm Baja Joe: Love Los Lobos. During the time I was regularly buying vinyl, usually from J&R Music in lower Manhattan, I remember buying "Will The Wolf Survive." I bring it home, play it, and it skipped like crazy. Returned it, same thing with the new copy. Drove me nuts when it happened a third time. Lived with the faulty copy. I finally got around to buying the CD and was then able to listen to an unblemished copy of the album. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
	12:23pm Beneath the Underground: Every cut the Wrecking Crew recorded was brilliant. But Mike—where did you find that Only Nust Begun with the iso vocals/drums/bass? It should be required listening for the young
	12:23pm howdy: Goffin/King composition?
	12:23pm goyim in the am: Hey gf — flatwound bass strings were the standard until Rotosound showed up in the 60s; Osbourne (and many others since) liked ‚em with the chrome played off, but they were always smooth.
	12:24pm paul: @Beneath, I was wondering the same thing.
	12:24pm ChuckAmok: nice hook
	12:24pm clarke: push and PILL?? very freudian.
	12:25pm Tome: like this Billy Jo Spears version !<>!
	12:25pm DG: The Cass Elliot track is by Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, one of the THREE Jewish couples (OK, Ellie Greenwich was half) responsible for all those Brill Bldg. hits. They're also the only couple still together, & the only one where both members are still living.
	12:25pm clarke: for Cass, i mean.
	12:25pm PatrickMC: RIP J&R. One of the all time great record/cd stores
	12:25pm Michael Shelley: Found that Carpenters mix here: www.youtube.com...
	12:26pm Baja Joe: @PatrickMC, you know it.
	12:26pm Ross T.: Yes J&R...sigh...
	12:27pm clarke: like flies on shhhhherbert
	12:27pm DG: J&R was great---when I worked downtown for a bit you could find vinyl copies of new releases (in the mid-90s or so), the prices were reasonable, & they had budget CDs too. I wish they'd come back.
	12:27pm P-90: Thanks for that link @Michael Shelley!
	12:28pm gf2002: No doubt, flatwounds were the standard until the later 60's. But consider how many sessions Osborn was playing on a weekly basis, and the fact he never changed his strings yet was never off in the intonation up the neck is pretty amazing. All strings wear out over time, his aged like a fine wine! Wasn't it Entwistle who was one of the first to use Rotosound roundwounds?
	12:30pm HyperDose: Respect to Mama Cass! 🙌🏾‍ That was a great back story
	12:30pm P-90: Yes, Entwistle and Chris Squire popularized the Rotosound round wounds
	12:31pm gf2002: I think it was Hal Blaine who said Joe Osborn used to stack up his cigarette butts on the music stand as he stubbed them out, and if it was a particularly long or stressful session he'd look over at Joe's music stand and see the butts stacked up almost to the top!
	12:32pm PatrickMC: In addition to fantastic non-pop/rock stock, J&R had CD listening stations with old and new discs picked by staff. How I discovered Volunteered Slavery by Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
	12:32pm clarke: the sad part is that hal had to breathe that smoke!
	12:32pm Beneath the Underground: Okay thanks for the link. Wonderful
	12:32pm Shannon: I put both Cissy Strut and Sound and Vision on the first mix CD I ever made for my baby nephew!
	12:33pm myron feld: One of the best Bowie songs, thanks MS! The Davis/Murray/Alomar band was so good.
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: Got K8 humming along!
	12:33pm Baja Joe: I'm so happy right now.
	12:33pm Creature Boy: Uh oh
	12:33pm phat in lincoln: Hot damn.
	12:34pm gf2002: I've had people ask how to get that 60's LA electric bass sound, and I always say get a Fender bass, use a pick, and play through a Fender guitar amp or Fender amp simulation. And use flatwound strings. It was a pretty basic setup but the players knew what the **** they were doing to get those sounds on tape
	12:34pm P-90: I think (not sure) McCartney is using roundwounds on his Ricky by the time of “Sgt Pepper” (prominently on things like “With a Little Help…”’ and “Lucy in the Sky” etc.)
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: The flatwounds make a world of difference.
	12:35pm PatrickMC: CD skip!
	12:35pm clarke: what guitar amp do you suggest??
	12:35pm gf2002: @clarke Almost all those LA studio guys were heavy smokers
	12:35pm Kotzwinkled: I order from Happy Mug online shipped coffee means to my house. They also do ground AND decaf FYI. Great stuff.
	12:36pm clarke: speaking as a non-smoking drummer - you have to huff and puff other people's fumes.
	12:37pm joe mulligan: David Bowie's "Sound and Vision" always makes my ears think of Nick Lowe's "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass" - even though they're not really that similar sounding. maybe it's the rhythm track I don't know
	12:37pm Creature Boy: Carl Smith whose 2nd wife was the GREAT Goldie Hill
	12:38pm annette: @kotz. nothing like half decaf w spices.
	12:39pm gf2002: @clarke For original Fender amps, I'd say a Super Reverb like Kaye used. But make sure it's modified first so you don't blow it out like I did to my '67 Bandmaster head when I put my Jazz bass through it lol. For simulations and modeling amps/software, anything that says "Black Panel" or "Twin" usually does the job. It's all about the voicing and the EQ, and I've found as soon as you run a Fender bass through a 60's Fender emulation in that software, it gets close. But the pick is essential to really nail it.
	12:39pm Rex: I love the listeners, but I have all these cinnamon rolls to eat and a crackling fire to sit in front of out here in snowy St George...
	12:39pm clarke: danke!
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: and, you stole my water!
	12:41pm Handy Haversack: clarke, I was trying to find for you the Bloom County strip where Opus is caught between a chain-smoking Steve Dallas and a chain-pastrami-burping Portnoy, but the internet is letting me down. Take the effort as genuine sympathy, though!
	12:41pm GeoSinPhilly: That Carl Smith sounds like the model for Robbie Fulks' "Let's Live Toghether."
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: and, I was suppose to see some pictures!
	12:41pm clarke: we've all goofed on some equipment, ha ha.
	12:42pm Michael Shelley: AND REX - today's ending is a REX REQUEST!
	12:42pm PatrickMC: Winterland in St. George. Why ever leave?
	12:43pm clarke: HH - Bloom County (i think) has the bar Booche's? if so, that is a REAL bar in columbia, MO - great burgers!!!
	12:43pm P-90: Hey Rex, is Satan Island surrounded by ice floes yet? With Polar Bears selling Italian Ices?
	12:45pm Pedro in Arlington: If you work from a fur-lined fallout shelter miles below the earth's crust, is snow a thing?
	12:45pm Rex: Nothing but wild turkeys in parkas out here on the rock.
	12:45pm gf2002: My Bandmaster and Jazz Bass sounded amazing for a few minutes...that classic tone you always search for...then literally it just shut down as I was playing. Cost a bunch to repair it, and then I was informed you have to do a few mods if you want to run a bass through an old Fender tube guitar amp lol. Costly lesson.
	12:46pm Larry 7: Mad Twists Rock n Roll! Had this as a child.
	12:46pm Cooh John: I have some pretzels right here. Yum.
	12:46pm goyim in the am: What you really want is an Ampeg B-15. this is a NJ station.
	12:47pm clarke: yes, GF, but at least you ruined YOUR stuff - not someone else's - that's the worst feeling.
	12:47pm Creature Boy: Hadn't heard about the Dallas Frazier thing neither
	12:47pm annette: my glittery fender bass with flat wounds is somewhere in the jersey hood singing praise in a church. btw every sat women in the church cooking food and sending out to poor
	12:49pm Layet Johnson: Hey y’all from Arkansas. Great jams, Michael!
	12:50pm gf2002: @clarke yes indeed!
	12:50pm Rex: Pedro- The hatch door to the Furlined Fallout is under 10 inches of snow (and these hot cinnamon rolls aren’t gonna eat themselves)..
	12:50pm clarke: he don't like queens and he don't like manhatten
	12:50pm Wiefwi Beanne: I just bought the apples for the recipe. DJ Michael.
	12:50pm Creature Boy: Tofurky has got me....on the run
	12:51pm Layet Johnson: Arkan-songs and vegan recipes! Today’s show is for me! Thanks Mike.
	12:51pm robin: "tell coco to make it"? jeez michael...7 traditional gender roles much? 🤦🏻‍♀️
	12:51pm evancuts: How about that recipe for the dessert you brought to Don and Margaret's house? THAT was a #1 hit!
	12:52pm P-90: I only have one bass, a 1969 Rickenbacker. Always roundwounds, played with a pick. You could argue that the. Rickenbacker and the Fender bass are two different instruments, rather than two versions of the same one…
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: Rex, do you have the ingredients for several rounds of ICE STATION REINDEERS?
	12:52pm Christina Ginger: Super easy to veganize if you use JUST egg, or a flax egg, as the flax would get hidden in the texture of the cake. For the topping, there’s no reason why you couldn’t use a good dairy free milk with lemon juice and the rest. Or make a thinned out homemade almond/cashew cream… does that cake really need 3 cups of sugar, though?
	12:52pm Michael Shelley: Robin - cheap shot - if you know Coco (and I do for 30 years) you would know that she's a great cook - and Rex, not so much
	12:52pm P-90: And I haven’t baked a Bundt in years, so what do I know?
	12:53pm paul: If the Doors were founded in 1957, they would have sounded like the Embers.
	12:53pm gf2002: @P-90, totally agree. The Rickenbacker is and always has been its own thing, nothing else sounds like a Rick bass.
	12:55pm annette: NRBQ. NRBQ. NRBQ. YAY
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: Christina Ginger: have you and Frank tried that eggplant with black pepper sauce that I posted for him a week or two back? K8 really dug that one, so I'll be making it more.
	12:55pm clarke: * * *
	12:56pm PatrickMC: A genuine #1 on MS's hit parade
	12:56pm steveo: mi cerebro es HECHO de chicle
	12:56pm Pedro in Arlington: Starting Gofundme to send a Saint Bernard with several chilidogs to Rex. Cinnamon rolls did little for Pompeii.
	12:57pm PatrickMC: Mama!
	12:57pm morphe': Thanks Mikey and all !!!!
	12:57pm McGroovey: Fine show. All the waffles got eaten. The kids are going sledding now. They're old enough that we can stay indoors
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feeling you been 86'd? good nite.
	12:58pm steveo: Thank you for the wonderful show!
	12:58pm KWilde: Thanks Michael! Have a safe drive home!
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Gonna grab that Nuevo album next Friday. Take it easy, everyone!
	12:58pm P-90: @gf2002: I realized a long time ago that you could do a band with a bassist playing a Fender, even a five or six-string variation, and another bassist playing the Ricky, with a pick and playing up high on the neck a lot, almost in baritone guitar territory.
	12:58pm PatrickMC: Mmm cinnamon gender rolls...
	12:59pm paul: Miss HH in Chicago.
	12:59pm Rex: Thanks Michael and thanks Hamburger Hamlet!
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael! Stay warm and safe everyone in the NE.
	1:00pm P-90: Now I’m craving “alleged cinnamon rolls”
	1:00pm Christina Ginger: Clarke- that sounds great. But frank forgot to mention it to me. Send it along again if you can, other wise, wait until topt.
	1:00pm robin: but michael, your listeners (including myself) don't know that! context is important.
	1:02pm clarke: @christina -- that was Handy - but i will be on TopT's chat, anyway - see ya there
	1:14pm BARBARA J Ruby-MURRAY: Hi Michael, I can't find that recipe you spoke about apple like cake, where can i find it in your archives please, cause the granola rfecipe was very good so I'm going to try this cake, thanks Barbara
	5:01pm evahilary: Listening to the archive. I loved Cooks! Pinball heaven. I loved your comments about it. Now I'm imagining that it was a place to employ people in witness protection!
