	♥ 5:11pm ultradamno: Speaking of MC5...and New York Dolls (by way of Bo Diddley) Rock Hall of Fame has both up to be voted on by fans to be inducted (or shortlisted to be, I'm not sure)
	5:11pm Mike Rogers: Laura san! Ha! Ha! Ha! I figure they went to university in Minnesota or something.
	5:11pm Mr Fab: Bo Diddley did the orig. Are they in fact singing about a rock n roll nurse giving him pills?

	♥ 5:14pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hello back, Mike! Did you get to meet any Pallas cats in Japan, Mike? That is one of my goals.
	♥ 5:14pm Rich in Washington: This is a wonderful cover!

	♥ 5:22pm Scott67: G'day Mike & Mates! 👍😎👣🎶📻🌞🌏
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: Gee, Mr. Fab, it might have been Japanese bands! But I don't know about really old Japanese songs so much (bad admission for a DJ, but true!)
	5:23pm Mike Rogers: Cool! Thanks Becky san! I'm gonna watch as soon as the show is over. I should know this!
	♥ 5:23pm Becky Ebenkamp: 90% of these bands have stayed at Russell’s house ; )

	5:26pm Mike Rogers: Becky san! Whose is this honorable Russell san?

	♥ 5:27pm Becky Ebenkamp: Russell from the Mummies? And about 12,000 other SF bands. He books a lot of Japanese tours for SF bands and vice versa.

	♥ 5:34pm Becky Ebenkamp: Are they the Billy Childish/Milkshakes of Japan?
	♥ 5:35pm Becky Ebenkamp: I like this group best so far.
	♥ 5:35pm Rich in Washington: The Niger ripoff of Purple Rain was called Blue Rain with Red In It because there's no word for purple in Nigerian.
	♥ 5:36pm MHLee: All the Cambodian rock covers have lyrics with no connection the original songs

	5:44pm Mike Rogers: Dear Laura san! You just have good timing!
	5:44pm Mike Rogers: The Messengers did the original "That's thew Way a Woman Is"
	♥ 5:45pm ultradamno: Project, you mean. Great band, I've got a 7" pic disc by them. Awful what happened to her. They kind of followed up Dengue Fever, but were scruffier, garagier
	♥ 5:45pm MHLee: Someone on this show I think pointed me in the direction of a Vietnamese rock comp
	5:45pm laurapanic: Yes I looked up the original after hearing it here. There is another cover you often play too...different band
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: MH Lee, I hate to ask, but what Happned to the Khmer rockers?
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: Laura san! I think that would be Titty Twister!

	5:47pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. Figures....
	5:47pm Mike Rogers: Oh yeah. Project! I miss them!

	5:48pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab!!!!!
	♥ 5:49pm Aitch: I have a CD somewhere of a Thai Rock band Big Ass. Some rock there, but mostly pop.
	♥ 5:49pm MHLee: I have a weakness for illegally compiled compilations which show up on Amazon from time to time
	♥ 5:50pm ultradamno: And the Cambodian Space Project singer (Kak, I think her name was) died in a Tuk Tuk vs. car incident.
	♥ 5:50pm Becky Ebenkamp: It’s a 60s/70s song
	5:50pm Mike Rogers: Yes. I actually cried when Kak died. He husband is an old friend of mine. Used to play them a lot!
	♥ 5:51pm Becky Ebenkamp: TTWAWI: Ohio Express!
	♥ 5:51pm Becky Ebenkamp: I love Velvet Crush but don’t know this song.
	♥ 5:51pm MHLee: Which song?
	♥ 5:52pm Becky Ebenkamp: The Lighters
	♥ 5:52pm MHLee: I have a pretty good knowledge of Buddah reocrds
	♥ 5:53pm MHLee: I archived a blog where the Buddah records band talked about how bad the label was in the comments

	5:55pm Mr Fab: Hope he didn't want to sue 'em!
	5:56pm Mike Rogers: Hi Carmichael san! ohayougozaimasu! Covers today!
	♥ 5:56pm Becky Ebenkamp: No, that’s Larry T. ; )
	♥ 5:57pm MHLee: @Becky, I may have another BG related topic to discuss, BG or Sunshine Pop "Mystery Song"... sounds a lot like a scooby-doo track
	5:57pm Mike Rogers: Ha! No, I think he wants to tour with the Routes in Japan!
	♥ 5:57pm Becky Ebenkamp: Ooh, I’d like to hear and won’t steal
	5:58pm Mike Rogers: Any band who wants to tour Japan would be smart to tie up with a Japanese band (Visas, places to crash, etc...)
	♥ 5:58pm Scott67: G'day Laura, I see Bitchcraft among the Bands on a Festival Poster! 👍😎🌷
	♥ 5:58pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi, Scott
	5:59pm Mike Rogers: Because if you don't spoeak Japanese, you'll need to hold someone hostage to help you. Best if they are your friends!
	♥ 5:59pm Scott67: G'day Becky! 👍😎🍬🐻
	6:00pm Mike Rogers: This is former Shonen Knife bassist Litsuko's new project: Mophing People.
	♥ 6:00pm Becky Ebenkamp: I have been wanting to go so bad, but I feel like I would be so lost. I have friends who manage an artist named Cornelius. They keep saying I can go with them next time. Stupid COVID!
	♥ 6:01pm Wenzo Toad: what’s mophing...?
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: Becky san! Do you know about Cornelius scandal?
	♥ 6:01pm Becky Ebenkamp: No?!
	6:01pm laurapanic: hey scott, yeh we are playing Thrashville next weekend....its an outdoor fest at this lovely campgrounds where they run a few festivals every year, folks camp over the two nights of the festival....its outdoors and rural so we think is a safe option....
	6:02pm Otis: Jumping the radio ship for the eve, great hour of power Mike. Cheers all, have a grand evening!
	♥ 6:02pm Becky Ebenkamp: Did he do something? He seems like such a sweet person.
	6:02pm Mike Rogers: Wenzo Toad san! I don't know. I asked them and they confirmed the spelling was "Mophing People!"
	♥ 6:02pm Feldy: Nighty night Otis
	♥ 6:02pm Becky Ebenkamp: By, Otis! Thank you for the Intel!

	♥ 6:03pm Scott67: G'night Otis! ✌😎
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Laura san! You are in a band? Send me some MP3's I will play it on my Japan only show.
	♥ 6:04pm Scott67: Great news Laura!👍😎
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Otis san! Thanks for joining us. I am honored.
	♥ 6:05pm MHLee: @Becky forwarded some stuff
	♥ 6:06pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, thanks, MH.
	6:07pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. This Covid stuff really sucks.... Bands are having shows here (and clubs are not supposed to sell drinks after 8 pm... bUt industrious club owners are finding their way around that!)
	♥ 6:09pm Becky Ebenkamp: And thanks for the Cornelius link, Mike. I’m gonna research those old stories. I don’t want to have an opinion until I read those old articles. I said many offensive words (out of context) when I was young. I never thot it was bullying.
	♥ 6:09pm Becky Ebenkamp: My guys again!
	6:10pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. I have met him a few times (guest on my radio show!) I don't say anything. He got really attacked on social media.
	♥ 6:11pm Becky Ebenkamp: I did not know he was big enough to get an Olympics job.
	6:11pm Mike Rogers: I always try to stay out of any and all political and social issues. Of course, I have my opinion, but my folks taught me to keep my mouth shut about things I know nothing about.
	6:12pm Mike Rogers: Oh, he was HUGE in early ninties!
	♥ 6:12pm Becky Ebenkamp: My parents would like to adopt you
	6:12pm Mike Rogers: Ha! What's for dinner?
	♥ 6:13pm Becky Ebenkamp: I don’t know—I’m not invited ; )
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: Life is good when I just observe what's going on around me and make no judgements. Really. Peaceful. interviewed DJ Georgy Girl and she was so nice. I asked her advice for life and she simply said, "Be kind." I get along with her well. I
	♥ 6:14pm MHLee: Becky, my dad's first two albums were Kasenetz Katz Singing Orchestral Circus and SGT Peppers... it was one the first things he showed me when he put a record player in my room... in serious distress but still playable... By all rights that record should have split in half by now... but yeah
	6:15pm Mike Rogers: What???? Qucik Joey Small???
	6:16pm Mike Rogers: Oh! I didn't read it well. I thought you were going to say your dad played on those records!!! Way cool!
	♥ 6:17pm MHLee: No, and actaully eh first album... the Junkyard cover No Quick Joey Small
	♥ 6:18pm Wenzo Toad: he’s accused of doing a lot worse than saying offensive things. Id never heard of him before 5 minutes ago. At least his remorse seems genuine. As for speaking up/shutting up... I don’t know. Depends on the situation... I guess just try to figure out if you’d regret speaking up or NOT speaking up. Sometimes I regret getting involved in these discussions, especially online other times I regret not saying anything.
	♥ 6:18pm ultradamno: Slaughter & The Dogs do a great one of that too.
	6:18pm Mike Rogers: My first album was Vanilla Fudge. In was sick and my folks bought it for me. But I liked the Monkees!!! I was onoy 9 years old or so.... That Vanilla Fudge record scared me!
	♥ 6:19pm ultradamno: I think mine was Grand Funk by Grand Funk Railroad...the red cover one.
	♥ 6:20pm Becky Ebenkamp: Wow, MH! Two orchestras, kind of. I’m glad he held on to them. Was it the “live” K&K lp?
	6:20pm Mike Rogers: GRand Funk? That's cool!
	♥ 6:20pm MHLee: Yes, that one
	6:21pm Mike Rogers: I saw Slaughter & the Dogs play in Shinjuku a few years ago. I think the only original member was the drummer.
	♥ 6:21pm Becky Ebenkamp: Ha, ha! Vanilla Fudge: Was it the one with “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”? aka the murder song from Once Upon a Time in HW?
	6:21pm Mike Rogers: Akiko Kanazawa Yellow Submarine Ondo!
	6:22pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, I was used to listening to Monkees 7 inch singles.... Vanilla Fudge gave me night mares!
	♥ 6:23pm MHLee: The album blew me away when I first heard it at like 12
	♥ 6:24pm ultradamno: The Choir! That was bothering me, I know that song more for Stiv Bators version but knew it wasn't his originally
	♥ 6:24pm MHLee: I think the first album I bought with my own money was Robyn Hitchcocks love from London
	6:24pm laurapanic: ABBA wore costumes the same as what Akiko is wearing....what era is she from?
	6:25pm Mike Rogers: But, I tried so hard to like that record cause my mom & dad bought it for me. I can see it now, "Mom: (To 22 year old store clerk) "Our 9 year old son is sick in bed. We want to buy him a new record!" Clerk: What does he usually listen to? Mom: The Monkees. Clerk: Oh he will just love this Vanilla Fudge! (snickers!)
	♥ 6:26pm Becky Ebenkamp: Wow, sound effects! I hate hearing that, Wenzo. He is a gentle little man. I imagine bullying in Japan has different connotations than here. We are so individualist and competitive and from what I understand, Japanese culture is about equality.
	♥ 6:26pm MHLee: The first vinyl I bought might have also been that Karsenatz Katz record... it wasn't available on mp3 at the time and I wanted to digitalize it
	6:27pm Mike Rogers: Yellow Submarine Ondo must have been late 70s.
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: Laura san! Yellow Submarine Ondo must have been late 70s. Let me check.
	♥ 6:28pm Aitch: A duet with William Shatner on this Lucy would be good
	♥ 6:29pm Becky Ebenkamp: I wrote a story about the K&K Carnegie Hall Concert. I just got a sealed record with the stickers inside.
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: Nov. 1, 1982 Akiko Kanazawa released Yellow Submarine Ondo. That is my birthday!!!!!
	♥ 6:29pm Aitch: Recorders and banjo? What a combination
	♥ 6:29pm Carmichael: Oh man, you guys are making me old. Creedence's Bayou Country for me ...
	6:30pm Mike Rogers: Soru Gakudan seems to have vanished off the face of the earth!
	♥ 6:31pm MHLee: Mine has some of those... mislabeled and all
	6:31pm Mike Rogers: Becky san! Way cool!!!!
	♥ 6:32pm Becky Ebenkamp: Me and my sister got Beatles records. There were these red and blue double record greatest hits LPs that were really good released in the ‘70s. We each got one.
	6:33pm Mike Rogers: My folks would NEVER let me go to a concert when I was a kid.
	6:33pm Mike Rogers: Wow! Those must be expensive collectors items!
	6:34pm Mike Rogers: Aitch san, That song is definitely "Okinawa sounding"
	6:34pm Mr Fab: Ha, they changed "Woo Hoo" to "Yeah Yeah." I found an old rockabilly 45 called "Woo Hoo", bought it, and whatdoyaknow, same song as the 5678s in "Kill Bill." Didn't know it was a cover.
	♥ 6:34pm ultradamno: My mom took me to a bunch of concerts but I think my aunt took me to my first, The Carpenters.
	♥ 6:35pm Becky Ebenkamp: Everyone thought the CH concert was fake. Some of the songs have fake screams and are prerecorded. And half the bands are fake. I mean, one is invisible…
	6:35pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab I knew you'd tell me what's going on with many of these songs. Did you get this week's 5 tracks>
	♥ 6:35pm MHLee: my first concert was bb king
	6:36pm Mike Rogers: MHLee san! No shit! Wow! That's way cool!
	6:36pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab what was your first concert?
	♥ 6:37pm Becky Ebenkamp: But they did play at CH. I found photos. Weird tho: Some of the children were holding the record!
	♥ 6:37pm Carmichael: Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show was my 1st.
	♥ 6:37pm Carmichael: And yes, it was 1972.
	♥ 6:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: OMG! I’ve been meaning to play Cover of the Rolling Stone. I love novelty songs.
	6:38pm Mike Rogers: Mine was Alice Cooper (but it was the first after he kicked out his band, so not so cool...) Story of my life, a day late and a dollr short.
	♥ 6:39pm MHLee: Novelties are fun... I've been working on a early novelty collection
	♥ 6:39pm Becky Ebenkamp: Peter Frampton at the Forum. My older cousin went as our chaperone. She smoked pot the entire time.
	6:39pm Mike Rogers: Wow! Carmichael san! Wow! That's way cool!
	6:39pm Mr Fab: Mike, havent received anything from you since jan 23. Is that the most recent?
	♥ 6:40pm Carmichael: I have a video of Dr. Hook on RockPalast. They win the award for drunkest band.
	6:41pm Mike Rogers: I saw Peter Frampton and Bob Marley ate SB fairgrounds in 1975....
	♥ 6:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: OK, my final comment on K&K on Carnegie Hall: It was supposed to be recorded for a CBS TV special. But it never aired. I don’t think the crew came out. Why? Because Bobby Kennedy had the nerve to get shot and die the night before.
	♥ 6:42pm Carmichael: I saw Frampton, Loggins & Messina and Faces at a football stadium in Sacramento in '76.
	6:42pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab, I've been sending every week. I'll send again (usually send on Monday or Tuesday!)
	6:43pm Mike Rogers: OK. You guys want novelty songs? I got one coming up.
	♥ 6:43pm Carmichael: The Tower of Power horn section played with Faces.
	♥ 6:44pm Becky Ebenkamp: That’s an odd choice.
	♥ 6:45pm Carmichael: Rod Stewart's hit at the time was Twistin' the Night Away.
	6:45pm Mike Rogers: I don't think these guys even know the lyrics. But it is funny.
	♥ 6:45pm Carmichael: Auntie Grizelda! I have all the Monkees albums.
	6:46pm Mike Rogers: I loved the Monkees!
	♥ 6:46pm Carmichael: Is there a Japanese version of Daydream Believer?
	♥ 6:46pm Becky Ebenkamp: Wow!
	6:47pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. There's tons of those, Carmichael san!
	♥ 6:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: A cover of the worst Monkees song! And it ain’t bad.
	♥ 6:48pm Aitch: I just bough re-issues of the red and blue Beatles LPs Becky. The ones I'd had were lost or ruined over time
	6:48pm Mr Fab: not really sure what my first concert was. mom took us the Hollywood Bowl to hear the LA Symphony play music from "Star Wars" and William Shatner was there! He read...something. i don't remember. My dad took me to see Monty Python at the Bowl. Then there were christian rock bands (I'm a Catholic school veteran). Probably didn't see anything actually pop or rock til I saw the likes of Devo or Wall of Voodoo at all-ages shows.
	6:48pm Mike Rogers: Ha! I thought it had redeeming factors! ;)
	♥ 6:49pm Becky Ebenkamp: I hope he read “Rocketman”
	6:49pm Mike Rogers: Hey Mr. Fab, I'm not a Catholic but went to catholic school! So did my son.
	♥ 6:49pm Carmichael: Mr. Fab, I also survived catholic school. First few years in Ireland ...
	6:50pm Mike Rogers: God! That would have been great!!!! Cool & Strange music!!!

Playing the best of Japanese Indies and underground (and other stuff). Music you will hear nowhere else! Mike has been fired from every Tokyo FM station at least once and some of them 4 times! I wear it as a stinky badge of honor because FM in Japan sucks so much. Tune in! Be there!

	♥ 5:34pm Becky Ebenkamp: Are they the Billy Childish/Milkshakes of Japan?
	♥ 5:35pm Becky Ebenkamp: I like this group best so far.

	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Otis san! Thanks for joining us. I am honored.
	♥ 6:05pm MHLee: @Becky forwarded some stuff
	♥ 6:06pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, thanks, MH.
	6:07pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. This Covid stuff really sucks.... Bands are having shows here (and clubs are not supposed to sell drinks after 8 pm... bUt industrious club owners are finding their way around that!)
	♥ 6:09pm Becky Ebenkamp: And thanks for the Cornelius link, Mike. I’m gonna research those old stories. I don’t want to have an opinion until I read those old articles. I said many offensive words (out of context) when I was young. I never thot it was bullying.
	♥ 6:09pm Becky Ebenkamp: My guys again!
	6:10pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. I have met him a few times (guest on my radio show!) I don't say anything. He got really attacked on social media.
	♥ 6:11pm Becky Ebenkamp: I did not know he was big enough to get an Olympics job.
	6:11pm Mike Rogers: I always try to stay out of any and all political and social issues. Of course, I have my opinion, but my folks taught me to keep my mouth shut about things I know nothing about.
	6:12pm Mike Rogers: Oh, he was HUGE in early ninties!
	♥ 6:12pm Becky Ebenkamp: My parents would like to adopt you
	6:12pm Mike Rogers: Ha! What's for dinner?
	♥ 6:13pm Becky Ebenkamp: I don’t know—I’m not invited ; )
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: Life is good when I just observe what's going on around me and make no judgements. Really. Peaceful. interviewed DJ Georgy Girl and she was so nice. I asked her advice for life and she simply said, "Be kind." I get along with her well. I
	♥ 6:14pm MHLee: Becky, my dad's first two albums were Kasenetz Katz Singing Orchestral Circus and SGT Peppers... it was one the first things he showed me when he put a record player in my room... in serious distress but still playable... By all rights that record should have split in half by now... but yeah
	6:15pm Mike Rogers: What???? Qucik Joey Small???
	6:16pm Mike Rogers: Oh! I didn't read it well. I thought you were going to say your dad played on those records!!! Way cool!
	♥ 6:17pm MHLee: No, and actaully eh first album... the Junkyard cover No Quick Joey Small
	♥ 6:18pm Wenzo Toad: he’s accused of doing a lot worse than saying offensive things. Id never heard of him before 5 minutes ago. At least his remorse seems genuine. As for speaking up/shutting up... I don’t know. Depends on the situation... I guess just try to figure out if you’d regret speaking up or NOT speaking up. Sometimes I regret getting involved in these discussions, especially online other times I regret not saying anything.
	♥ 6:18pm ultradamno: Slaughter & The Dogs do a great one of that too.
	6:18pm Mike Rogers: My first album was Vanilla Fudge. In was sick and my folks bought it for me. But I liked the Monkees!!! I was onoy 9 years old or so.... That Vanilla Fudge record scared me!
	♥ 6:19pm ultradamno: I think mine was Grand Funk by Grand Funk Railroad...the red cover one.
	♥ 6:20pm Becky Ebenkamp: Wow, MH! Two orchestras, kind of. I’m glad he held on to them. Was it the “live” K&K lp?
	6:20pm Mike Rogers: GRand Funk? That's cool!
	♥ 6:20pm MHLee: Yes, that one
	6:21pm Mike Rogers: I saw Slaughter & the Dogs play in Shinjuku a few years ago. I think the only original member was the drummer.
	♥ 6:21pm Becky Ebenkamp: Ha, ha! Vanilla Fudge: Was it the one with “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”? aka the murder song from Once Upon a Time in HW?
	6:21pm Mike Rogers: Akiko Kanazawa Yellow Submarine Ondo!
	6:22pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, I was used to listening to Monkees 7 inch singles.... Vanilla Fudge gave me night mares!
	♥ 6:23pm MHLee: The album blew me away when I first heard it at like 12
	♥ 6:24pm ultradamno: The Choir! That was bothering me, I know that song more for Stiv Bators version but knew it wasn't his originally
	♥ 6:24pm MHLee: I think the first album I bought with my own money was Robyn Hitchcocks love from London
	6:24pm laurapanic: ABBA wore costumes the same as what Akiko is wearing....what era is she from?
	6:25pm Mike Rogers: But, I tried so hard to like that record cause my mom & dad bought it for me. I can see it now, "Mom: (To 22 year old store clerk) "Our 9 year old son is sick in bed. We want to buy him a new record!" Clerk: What does he usually listen to? Mom: The Monkees. Clerk: Oh he will just love this Vanilla Fudge! (snickers!)
	♥ 6:26pm Becky Ebenkamp: Wow, sound effects! I hate hearing that, Wenzo. He is a gentle little man. I imagine bullying in Japan has different connotations than here. We are so individualist and competitive and from what I understand, Japanese culture is about equality.
	♥ 6:26pm MHLee: The first vinyl I bought might have also been that Karsenatz Katz record... it wasn't available on mp3 at the time and I wanted to digitalize it
	6:27pm Mike Rogers: Yellow Submarine Ondo must have been late 70s.
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: Laura san! Yellow Submarine Ondo must have been late 70s. Let me check.
	♥ 6:28pm Aitch: A duet with William Shatner on this Lucy would be good
	♥ 6:29pm Becky Ebenkamp: I wrote a story about the K&K Carnegie Hall Concert. I just got a sealed record with the stickers inside.
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: Nov. 1, 1982 Akiko Kanazawa released Yellow Submarine Ondo. That is my birthday!!!!!
	♥ 6:29pm Aitch: Recorders and banjo? What a combination
	♥ 6:29pm Carmichael: Oh man, you guys are making me old. Creedence's Bayou Country for me ...
	6:30pm Mike Rogers: Soru Gakudan seems to have vanished off the face of the earth!
	♥ 6:31pm MHLee: Mine has some of those... mislabeled and all
	6:31pm Mike Rogers: Becky san! Way cool!!!!
	♥ 6:32pm Becky Ebenkamp: Me and my sister got Beatles records. There were these red and blue double record greatest hits LPs that were really good released in the ‘70s. We each got one.
	6:33pm Mike Rogers: My folks would NEVER let me go to a concert when I was a kid.
	6:33pm Mike Rogers: Wow! Those must be expensive collectors items!
	6:34pm Mike Rogers: Aitch san, That song is definitely "Okinawa sounding"
	6:34pm Mr Fab: Ha, they changed "Woo Hoo" to "Yeah Yeah." I found an old rockabilly 45 called "Woo Hoo", bought it, and whatdoyaknow, same song as the 5678s in "Kill Bill." Didn't know it was a cover.
	♥ 6:34pm ultradamno: My mom took me to a bunch of concerts but I think my aunt took me to my first, The Carpenters.
	♥ 6:35pm Becky Ebenkamp: Everyone thought the CH concert was fake. Some of the songs have fake screams and are prerecorded. And half the bands are fake. I mean, one is invisible…
	6:35pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab I knew you'd tell me what's going on with many of these songs. Did you get this week's 5 tracks>
	♥ 6:35pm MHLee: my first concert was bb king
	6:36pm Mike Rogers: MHLee san! No shit! Wow! That's way cool!
	6:36pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab what was your first concert?
	♥ 6:37pm Becky Ebenkamp: But they did play at CH. I found photos. Weird tho: Some of the children were holding the record!
	♥ 6:37pm Carmichael: Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show was my 1st.
	♥ 6:37pm Carmichael: And yes, it was 1972.
	♥ 6:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: OMG! I’ve been meaning to play Cover of the Rolling Stone. I love novelty songs.
	6:38pm Mike Rogers: Mine was Alice Cooper (but it was the first after he kicked out his band, so not so cool...) Story of my life, a day late and a dollr short.
	♥ 6:39pm MHLee: Novelties are fun... I've been working on a early novelty collection
	♥ 6:39pm Becky Ebenkamp: Peter Frampton at the Forum. My older cousin went as our chaperone. She smoked pot the entire time.
	6:39pm Mike Rogers: Wow! Carmichael san! Wow! That's way cool!
	6:39pm Mr Fab: Mike, havent received anything from you since jan 23. Is that the most recent?
	♥ 6:40pm Carmichael: I have a video of Dr. Hook on RockPalast. They win the award for drunkest band.
	6:41pm Mike Rogers: I saw Peter Frampton and Bob Marley ate SB fairgrounds in 1975....
	♥ 6:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: OK, my final comment on K&K on Carnegie Hall: It was supposed to be recorded for a CBS TV special. But it never aired. I don’t think the crew came out. Why? Because Bobby Kennedy had the nerve to get shot and die the night before.
	♥ 6:42pm Carmichael: I saw Frampton, Loggins & Messina and Faces at a football stadium in Sacramento in '76.
	6:42pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab, I've been sending every week. I'll send again (usually send on Monday or Tuesday!)
	6:43pm Mike Rogers: OK. You guys want novelty songs? I got one coming up.
	♥ 6:43pm Carmichael: The Tower of Power horn section played with Faces.
	♥ 6:44pm Becky Ebenkamp: That’s an odd choice.
	♥ 6:45pm Carmichael: Rod Stewart's hit at the time was Twistin' the Night Away.
	6:45pm Mike Rogers: I don't think these guys even know the lyrics. But it is funny.
	♥ 6:45pm Carmichael: Auntie Grizelda! I have all the Monkees albums.
	6:46pm Mike Rogers: I loved the Monkees!
	♥ 6:46pm Carmichael: Is there a Japanese version of Daydream Believer?
	♥ 6:46pm Becky Ebenkamp: Wow!
	6:47pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. There's tons of those, Carmichael san!
	♥ 6:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: A cover of the worst Monkees song! And it ain’t bad.
	♥ 6:48pm Aitch: I just bough re-issues of the red and blue Beatles LPs Becky. The ones I'd had were lost or ruined over time
	6:48pm Mr Fab: not really sure what my first concert was. mom took us the Hollywood Bowl to hear the LA Symphony play music from "Star Wars" and William Shatner was there! He read...something. i don't remember. My dad took me to see Monty Python at the Bowl. Then there were christian rock bands (I'm a Catholic school veteran). Probably didn't see anything actually pop or rock til I saw the likes of Devo or Wall of Voodoo at all-ages shows.
	6:48pm Mike Rogers: Ha! I thought it had redeeming factors! ;)
	♥ 6:49pm Becky Ebenkamp: I hope he read “Rocketman”
	6:49pm Mike Rogers: Hey Mr. Fab, I'm not a Catholic but went to catholic school! So did my son.
	♥ 6:49pm Carmichael: Mr. Fab, I also survived catholic school. First few years in Ireland ...
	6:50pm Mike Rogers: God! That would have been great!!!! Cool & Strange music!!!
	♥ 6:51pm MHLee: I love the Sonics, man

	♥ 6:52pm MHLee: This illegal and now impossible to find comp intoduced me to so many bands www.last.fm...
	6:52pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab, your mom must have had class!!!
	♥ 6:53pm ultradamno: The one time I got to see Those Darlins (which was at least with Kelli still in the band) they did a blasting cover of The Witch, too bad they didn't get that down on record.
	6:54pm Mike Rogers: Wow! But you saw them!
	6:54pm Mike Rogers: Hey everyone, stay tuned for WassuprockerRadio!
	6:55pm Mike Rogers: Mr. Fab will resend the songs to you after the show. I made a mistake, I sent them to myself! Doh!

	♥ 6:56pm Becky Ebenkamp: That’s a story on Cornelius.
	♥ 6:56pm Becky Ebenkamp: He says the reporter misunderstood.
