	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm Jeff Ash: Goo goo ga joob from Wisconsin!
	♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	♥ 3:02pm Yvang: Hi Larry! I expect two magical hours coming up!
	3:02pm Moog1 Radio: I am not aware of any MMT song covers from around the original time... just maybe the Hollyridge Strings
	♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: I have a bunch!
	♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: Oh wait. you mean the specific song? I only have one that is exactly contemporary
	♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Yvang!
	3:03pm Moog1 Radio: There's a ton of LP covers. I am talking about the song itself
	♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: I get it now!
	♥ 3:04pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry and Testifiers!
	3:04pm Moog1 Radio: You could fill 6 hours with Fool On The Hill covers alone!
	♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 - I would NEVER do that!
	♥ 3:05pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry & all
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm dutchtheo: Hey, Larry, and passengers, hop on the bus!
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey C! Theo!
	♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...
	3:10pm Moog1 Radio: Holy crap they cover Star Collector! They definitely inspired The Plastics!
	3:11pm still b/p: MMT images that are stuckest are the lads in creature dress-up on the cover, and the shoveling of spaghetti in the booklet still shot.
	3:11pm Erica: The Cheap Trick cover version was better. Hi Larry!
	♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey sbp! Erica!
	♥ 3:11pm zzz: hey @F16C! are you familiar with the "American Soul Music" LP comps from Mississippi/Cairo Records? you got a shout out in the liners/suggestions for future reading on one of the recent ones
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: This is Barbra Streisand's half-sister, from a surprisingly interesting album.
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth∅: George Martin said allowing strawberry fields forever and penny lane -the first 2 songs completed for sgt.pepper- to be released as singles, whereby removing them from the album -according to absurd emi policy at the time - was the biggest mistake of his professional career.
	♥ 3:12pm Sem: Hello, Larry. Cover lover here, looking forward to the show.
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey zzz! I am not, but I'll have to look for that!
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: @C - Can you imagine Sgt Pepper with those tracks!
	♥ 3:14pm zzz: definitely getting the Babs vibes from that Roslyn Kind, lol
	♥ 3:14pm Sem: ...and what songs might have to be dropped?
	♥ 3:14pm coelacanth∅: Larry i actually can't! it'd be a very different album, wouldn't it
	3:14pm Jeff g. via app: Like this Herbie version.
	♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: @zzz - Do you know which comp has the mention?
	♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff! Me, too. Super stoney.
	♥ 3:16pm coelacanth∅: probably sgt. pepper itself would be the first to go, then...good morning? -i love that song but John considered it a throwaway
	♥ 3:17pm Funky16Corners: Interesting thought exercise.
	♥ 3:17pm zzz: @F16C, i just picked up 2 that were re-released so could be mistaking them without being at home but pretty sure it was this one, "The world is a cafeteria": www.discogs.com...
	♥ 3:18pm coelacanth∅: (i'd delete when i'm 64, but it's along the lines of the nostalgia theme they were looking for at first, so i think they'd have kept it)
	3:18pm Moog1 Radio: Several bootlegs released unused Mellotron passages from the Flying sessions. Some of the improvisations on the Mellotron go on for 7 minutes. Brief snippets were used for incidental music in the movie and used in the Rockband video game!
	♥ 3:19pm coelacanth∅: oh man, i'd like to hear that 7+ minute flying
	♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: I love near the end of this track where Shank starts to swing it a little
	♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: There will be a number of instances of doubling-up like this on specific songs
	♥ 3:25pm coelacanth∅: i was a bit confused by blue jay way when i got the album, but i'd already heard -and loved revolution 9 so i wasn't surprised, and i soon loved it. my older brother gave me shit for liking it.
	3:26pm David Shortell: WFMU's old magazine "Lowest Common Denominator" once reprinted Rex Reed's harsh review of the "Magical Mystery Tour" album.
	♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey David! The more I look back on Rex reed's writing I'm pretty sure he was certifiably insane. Like campy snark dialed up to 11 24/7.
	♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: I know Richard Goldstein famously panned both Sgt Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: @C - Blue Jay Way is a SUCH a weird song in contrast with the rest of the album. Not so weird compared to the rest of 1967
	♥ 3:30pm doctorjazz: Heard Ben Perowsky do a great cover of Flying at Barbes in Brooklyn some years ago.
	3:30pm Erica: Coo coo chachoo.
	♥ 3:30pm coelacanth∅: well, they're professional critics. they're supposed to be idiots aren't they? i doubt nme, rolling stone or the village voice ever had a critic that wasn't a complete buffoon.
	♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I'm not familiar with him, What kind of stuff does he play?
	3:31pm David Shortell: The eponymous (synonymous?) TV special was panned, but two of the actors appeared in a worse film: "Berserk!" starring Joan Crawford.
	♥ 3:31pm doctorjazz: Just saw Perowsky with Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra this past Monday-he's a monster (as is the band)!
	♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: @C - Yeah, but Rex Reed seemed to be especially unqualified to be writing about pop music. It's like he was saying, "If i can criticize movies I can criticize ANYTHING!"
	♥ 3:33pm coelacanth∅: oh, right he was a movie critic. i know the name but am not familiar with his rants
	3:33pm David Shortell: Yeah, Rex! Stay on your side of the Generation Gap!
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Rex was only 29 when MMT came out!
	♥ 3:35pm Yvang: Who's seen the movie? I though it wasn't so bad.
	♥ 3:35pm doctorjazz: He's mostly a jazz drummer-he's played with John Zorn, Dave Douglass, the NY "Downtown" scene.
	♥ 3:36pm doctorjazz: Also some pop artists, Rufus wainwright
	3:36pm Moog1 Radio: I think it is so cool that only on the US single for I Am The Walrus there exists an extra measure right before the "Yellow Matter Custard" line.
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: @Yvang - I have. It's not horrible, lots of great music and period charm, but it's a mess. They were a lot of things, but the Beatles were not filmmakers.
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 - I did not know that!
	3:37pm Jeff g. via app: Gotta stand up for Greg Tate and Gary Giddins at the Voice. Learned a ton from both. Ben Perowsky’s dad, Frank, was a horn player and arranger who played with some of the greats.
	♥ 3:38pm coelacanth∅: my brother had that 45. disappeared long ago.
	♥ 3:39pm doctorjazz: I also got much of my jazz education from Giddins and Tate in the Voice (and read Giddens' books)
	3:39pm Erica: Penny Lane makes me think of sunny afternoon in England.
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Lots of great critics, but also lots of music writers who were good writers but lacked the context needed to write well about music, and plenty of fanboys who were also shitty writers.
	3:39pm Erica: And it's often rainy there.
	3:40pm David Shortell: Were those King Lear actors compensated for their inclusion in the end of "I Am the Walrus"?
	♥ 3:40pm coelacanth∅: Jeff i'll take your word on it. unfairly to them i guess, i was thinking more of robert christgau (sp?) and just a few others i read long ago
	3:40pm Jeff g. via app: Agreed, Larry. Not a blanket endorsement.
	3:41pm Moog1 Radio: Releasing MMT as an LP in the States caused problems since there were no stereo mixes of most of the songs used for side 2 since they were only singles with no stereo mix made at the time.
	♥ 3:41pm doctorjazz: Used to like Christgau in the Voice as well; loved when he put together Pazz and Jop!
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: I wish someone would do an anthology of early rock writing. Lots of interesting writers/perspectives who were lost when Rolling Stone showed up.
	♥ 3:42pm coelacanth∅: ...and some of the fault lies in whomever tells them to review something by an artist they have never liked, nor understood
	3:43pm Erica: Hi coel.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: After I was disabused of my dream to be an album cover designer, I wanted to be a rock writer for the longest time, until I realized how awful/solipsistic a lot of it was.
	3:45pm Moog1 Radio: Love is the meaning of life. Life is the meaning of love...
	♥ 3:46pm coelacanth∅: i think christgau's a total jackass. of course he'll be on target some of the time, and he's a clever writer...but a huge % of his assessments just scream "this is beyond my comprehension", as far as i'm concerned. but he'd never suggest such a thing. he'll trash it first, and arrogantly.
	♥ 3:46pm Phillippe: howdy
	♥ 3:46pm StringOFperils: Early Rolling Stone was actually pretty formative for me, as per writing: Richard Meltzer, Lester Bangs sometmes, Nick Tosches, Hunter Thompson, Cameron Crowe...it was a sausage party I guess, but so was RAWK. Nick Tosches in particular is hugely under-rated IMO
	♥ 3:47pm coelacanth∅: hi Erica and Phillippe
	♥ 3:48pm Phillippe: Hey coel!
	3:53pm Moog1 Radio: Vincent Bell!
	3:53pm Jeff g. via app: I’ve lately been turned on to Ellen Willis and Ellen Sander, two women trailblazing rock writers.
	3:55pm Erica: Nice to join us Jeff.
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Kurt!
	♥ 3:55pm StringOFperils: Christgau is provocative. He likes to get a rise out of the reader. He knows there so much garbage, and he knows its willing consumers will get pissed off when they read his pronouncements. The claims made for most commercial music releases are ludicrous and, for the most part, the music press needs to have its pants pulled down in public. I loved Bangs and Meltzer who thought rock was a bloated liar, at the end of the 60s, and they wanted everyone to join in putting it out of its misery...or our misery.
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Lillian Roxon, too.
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: @String - Christgau gets a bad rap but he has interesting taste, and I think he's a good writer.
	3:57pm CupcakeJenny: Hello Mr. Grogan. Gang.
	♥ 3:57pm StringOFperils: In short, I don't think it should be taken too seriously, or at face-value. Its appropriate posturing. It's modern art itself.
	♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Why, hello Mrs Grogan!
	3:59pm Erica: Hi Jenny.
	4:00pm CupcakeJenny: This is not the version the played in the tent with the Scrambler in the dark at The Great Escape in Lake George!
	4:01pm CupcakeJenny: Hi Erica!
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: Which one, Magical Mystery Tour or Fool On the Hill?
	4:02pm Moog1 Radio: It's cool how the Sergio Mendes is so derivative, it actually spawned it's own cover versions of its arrangement
	4:02pm CupcakeJenny: Magical mystery tour. In my memory there was a strobe light going lol
	♥ 4:03pm Funky16Corners: You kids and your drugs...
	♥ 4:03pm StringOFperils: I wish I could locate the dead animal in this house. Pee yewwww. I know it's not me, I took a shower.
	♥ 4:03pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 = That'd make an interesting show, cover versions that cop the arrangements, too
	4:04pm David Shortell: Joe Pesci sang both "The Fool on the Hill" and "Fixing a Hole" on his 1968 album.
	4:04pm CupcakeJenny: https://stusa.wordpress.com/2012/07/11/chippers-magical-mystery-ride/ Look my memory isn’t wrong lol though I should have said Storytown.
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: @David - I've played Pesci's version of Fixing a Hole on the show!
	♥ 4:05pm WR: Hello Larry and Testifiers! I am so removed from the many listens I gave to MMT back in the day that I didn't realize that all these Beatles songs are from that one album.
	4:05pm still b/p: I think what you got there is the smell of dead hope for the world.
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: @still b/p > You bin talkin' to someone about me?
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: @sbp -I think you're onto something.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: @CupcakeJenny - An indoor scrambler in a geodesic dome?!?!?
	♥ 4:06pm StringOFperils: It certainly ain't the same world it was 10 days ago, and it's not going back to that either.
	4:07pm David Shortell: Judging from his rant on the live "Take No Prisoners" album, Lou Reed was no fan of Robert Christgau.
	♥ 4:07pm zzz: good groove on this Flying
	♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: Flying is one of those tunes, really simple, basic, but just hits the spot!
	♥ 4:08pm WR: Spring cleaning has starting here and a dead mouse was found behind a shelf in the kitchen. Duly disposed and scrubbed. Wish it was as easy to get rid of that rat Putin and his gangster buddies
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: We cleaned out our coat closet and discovered a mummified mouse.
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: No doubt left there by an ancient mouse civilization who thought our coat closet was the afterlife
	4:10pm Moog1 Radio: At least they let Mal Evans play a magician!
	4:10pm Erica: Oh my Larry. How long has that mouse been in there?
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: Poor Mal Evans...
	4:10pm CupcakeJenny: Don’t tell people about the mouse.
	♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: I already did...
	4:11pm still b/p: Mum(mified)'s the word.
	4:11pm CupcakeJenny: Yes inside scrambler with strobe lights how did people not stroke out daily?
	♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: IXNAY ON THE OUSEMAY
	4:11pm Erica: Get rid of it and sanitize the coat closet. And let's never speak of it again.
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: @CupcakeJenny - How many people left that dome on stretchers?
	♥ 4:12pm Little Danny: Hi Larry hi all!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	4:13pm CupcakeJenny: Ok leaving school. Time to switch to my audiobook. Now everyone knows what a terrible wife you have ;)
	♥ 4:13pm StringOFperils: Great show concept, Larry. I'm finding this pretty amusing.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: @CupcakeJenny - My wife is the best! Drive safely.
	4:15pm still b/p: I know a guy who worked on a local version of Scrambler -- "Astrosphere" -- for at least a few years, listening to Fire on High blasting as the permanent accompaniment. He says it actually didn't lead to insanity or loathing. Somehow he just got accustomed.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: @String - These shows are fun to do. The Beatles attracted so many covers, from all over the spectrum.
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: @sbp - I spent a summer managing a pizza stand in a theme park, across from a gazebo where a bar band played Kool and the Gang's 'Celebration' about 15 times a day. I never want to hear that song again.
	4:18pm still b/p: I know that's unpleasant...but it's funny.
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: It is now. Then, not so much.
	♥ 4:19pm StringOFperils: I couldn't listen to The Beatles for the longest time...a lot of years. I still try to minimize my exposure because I don't want it to be a negative experience.
	4:20pm CupcakeJenny: Xoxo bye funky16ers. Your fans need a name like Whovians or Juggalos.
	♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: I was such a huge Beatles fan when I was 12-13 that I can pretty much work my way through any of their albums in my head without the assistance of physical media.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: @CupcakeJenny - TESTIFERIONS!
	4:21pm CupcakeJenny: Hahaha that’s good
	4:21pm Erica: Testifiers!
	4:22pm Moog1 Radio: This song was long enough for me to wander over to google maps and look at the street view of Blue Jay Way in LA
	4:22pm Moog1 Radio: Looks like there's no issue of that street sign being stolen like Penny Lane
	4:22pm CupcakeJenny: Of course I forgot. My brain is mush after school.
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: I'll have to do that after the show!
	♥ 4:23pm StringOFperils: There's a Blue Jay Way here, but that was just some lame idea that someone had about the street to where the baseball club is based.
	4:25pm Moog1 Radio: After George's friends didnt show I'm sure Mal tucked George into bed
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 - Did you post this album on Now Playing?
	4:26pm Moog1 Radio: That's right i Did!
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: I want to find the English version. It included a cover of Autumn Almanac that isn't on the US issue
	4:29pm Moog1 Radio: Did you know that the radio play snippets that you hear at the end of I Am The Walrus were fed into the board live during the mono mixing of the song? So when they mixed for stereo the radio feed was gone. That's the reason why the song goes duophonic in the middle part.
	♥ 4:30pm doctorjazz: Back when my younger daughter was in 1st gr or so, we had a mouse invasion. Her class was given a project to "write a book; they got a small, blank hardcover book and did books on animals. Parents were invited to come in and hear them all read their books. Molly did one called, "Mice, Mice, Everywhere", which was a bit embarrassing...
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 - I did not know that (either)!
	4:31pm Moog1 Radio: They recently recovered an isolated version of the play for the new Giles Martin mixes and made a true stereo mix
	♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - What are out children here for, if not to embarrass us occasionally?
	♥ 4:31pm StringOFperils: Mice, mice, everywhere, And not a stop to stink.
	♥ 4:33pm WR: Walrus is probably my favorite Spooky Tooth recording.
	♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: Post-Gary Wright Spooky Tooth!
	4:34pm Erica: @StringOfPearls...yet
	♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: Mike Harrison was in the VIP's with Greg Ridley, which is probably how he ended up in Spooky Tooth
	4:35pm Julie: Hiya Larry!
	4:36pm Erica: @StringOFperils...yet.
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: Hi Julie!
	4:36pm Erica: Sorry I had to retype that. I misspelled the username.
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to stay tuned as Julie fills in for Kip when I finish tonight: wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:37pm StringOFperils: Hah. I deserve to have my handle misspelled for abusing Coleridge like that. (Sorry buddy.)
	4:38pm still b/p: Mice at girlfriend's house recently tucked goldfish crackers neatly under the covers of her made bed. One ran across her face in bed when the new resident cat was going after it. Cat later caught one, but there's worry about her eating mice that have snacked on the poisoned bait under the sink. Such rigmarodentrole.
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: Pests. Though we are living in their world, too. Oh dear, are WE the pests?!?
	♥ 4:41pm StringOFperils: I had a cat that brought me a fresh kill when I was in bed. I turned the light on to see what all the thrashing was about, and found a headless mouse in bed with me...like Stuart Little and The Godfather put together.
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: That's grotesquely hilarious!
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: When I was a kid we had a beagle that was prodigious mouser.
	♥ 4:42pm StringOFperils: It wasn't leaky or nothin'; actually it looked like it was full of raspberry jam.
	4:44pm still b/p: Oh, no. Killed your beloved prized racemouse! In other relevant eating, a tribute dish on biteswiththebeatles website: "I set out to create a spaghetti recipe that Aunt Jessie would dream about every night." And the recipe is right there for us.
	4:45pm Julie: this is a most excellent warmup for my discotech underground fill in! MOSTLY 60s stuff. happening soon at wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:45pm coelacanth∅: i have a trap that's a good mouser
	4:45pm Erica: Hi Julie. Will tune in to your fill in show.
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: Ben Harper sounding like a young Peter Gabriel here
	4:46pm Moog1 Radio: Solisbury Hill Forever!
	♥ 4:46pm StringOFperils: A bit like Cat Stevens as well.
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Yes!
	♥ 4:47pm coelacanth∅: all of the above. ...+ Ben Harper.
	4:47pm still b/p: I only learned/realized four days ago that Noel was Rex's son.
	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: Check the archives, I did a whole show devoted to Noel Harrison!
	♥ 4:48pm zzz: yes to peter gabriel soundalike!
	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:49pm doctorjazz: WR, report on Mondays Steve Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra show at the Atlantic-they were terrific. Lots of early lazy, Blues, recent pop, New Orleans music (Mardi gras started Tuesday), great band-Curtis Fowlkes, tbn, Charlie Burnham, violin, Doug Wiesselman, clarinet, Tenor, Peter Apfelbaum, tenor, Eric Lawrence bari sax, Matt Munisteri, guitar, Ben Allison, bass, Ben Perowsky, drums. Seen a lot, most of these guys in the past, but it's been a while, COVID, some look so much older, shocking (happens with friends I see now too), but they were fantastic! Nice venue too!
	♥ 4:50pm StringOFperils: Saw Noel on TV several times, and he never had shoes or socks, EVER.
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: Like Sandie Shaw!
	♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: @Julie - I may end up going a minute or two long. I'll sweep up as fast as I can...
	♥ 4:51pm coelacanth∅: WR @4.33 i'll have to go with society's child on that
	♥ 4:51pm zzz: LOVE that band @docjazz
	4:52pm Julie: okiedoke!
	♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for understanding!
	♥ 4:53pm zzz: MTO did a cover of all you need is love, incidentally, on one of their early albums
	4:53pm Moog1 Radio: Mort Garson is the conductor on this one!
	4:54pm Erica: We need more Kenny Rankin on this show. His music is very hauntingly mellow.
	♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: I can oblige. I like Kenny!
	4:56pm Julie: the Noel Collage album is great I've been playing it a bit myself. (yeah I know I'm late)
	4:57pm still b/p: I would take the last couple for corporate and customer service "on hold" music over the strange anemic mouse waste that's typically looping in my ear.
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Jeff Ash: Thanks, Larry! Good one!
	♥ 4:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks Larry! Cool show. Thanks for putting up with me.
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all!
	♥ 4:59pm Yvang: Thanks, Larry! Great selection!
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure, String!
	4:59pm still b/p: Rolled up nicely!
	4:59pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	5:00pm Erica: That was one Magical Mystery Tour.
	♥ 5:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica! SBP! Yvang! Doc! Jeff!
	5:01pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry!
	♥ 5:01pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Theo!
	♥ 5:02pm WR: Thank you Larry!
	♥ 5:02pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR!
	♥ 5:05pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 5:12pm Funky16Corners: Thanks C!

	2:59pm Moog1 Radio: Roll Up! Roll Up! Roll Up!
	♥ 3:00pm Funky16Corners: Kurt!
	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm Jeff Ash: Goo goo ga joob from Wisconsin!
	♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	♥ 3:02pm Yvang: Hi Larry! I expect two magical hours coming up!
	3:02pm Moog1 Radio: I am not aware of any MMT song covers from around the original time... just maybe the Hollyridge Strings
	♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: I have a bunch!
	♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: Oh wait. you mean the specific song? I only have one that is exactly contemporary
	♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Yvang!
	3:03pm Moog1 Radio: There's a ton of LP covers. I am talking about the song itself
	♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: I get it now!
	♥ 3:04pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry and Testifiers!
	3:04pm Moog1 Radio: You could fill 6 hours with Fool On The Hill covers alone!
	♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 - I would NEVER do that!
	♥ 3:05pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry & all
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm dutchtheo: Hey, Larry, and passengers, hop on the bus!
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey C! Theo!
	♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...
	3:10pm Moog1 Radio: Holy crap they cover Star Collector! They definitely inspired The Plastics!
	3:11pm still b/p: MMT images that are stuckest are the lads in creature dress-up on the cover, and the shoveling of spaghetti in the booklet still shot.
	3:11pm Erica: The Cheap Trick cover version was better. Hi Larry!
	♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey sbp! Erica!
	♥ 3:11pm zzz: hey @F16C! are you familiar with the "American Soul Music" LP comps from Mississippi/Cairo Records? you got a shout out in the liners/suggestions for future reading on one of the recent ones
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: This is Barbra Streisand's half-sister, from a surprisingly interesting album.
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth∅: George Martin said allowing strawberry fields forever and penny lane -the first 2 songs completed for sgt.pepper- to be released as singles, whereby removing them from the album -according to absurd emi policy at the time - was the biggest mistake of his professional career.
	♥ 3:12pm Sem: Hello, Larry. Cover lover here, looking forward to the show.
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey zzz! I am not, but I'll have to look for that!
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: @C - Can you imagine Sgt Pepper with those tracks!
	♥ 3:14pm zzz: definitely getting the Babs vibes from that Roslyn Kind, lol
	♥ 3:14pm Sem: ...and what songs might have to be dropped?
	♥ 3:14pm coelacanth∅: Larry i actually can't! it'd be a very different album, wouldn't it
	3:14pm Jeff g. via app: Like this Herbie version.
	♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: @zzz - Do you know which comp has the mention?
	♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff! Me, too. Super stoney.
	♥ 3:16pm coelacanth∅: probably sgt. pepper itself would be the first to go, then...good morning? -i love that song but John considered it a throwaway
	♥ 3:17pm Funky16Corners: Interesting thought exercise.
	♥ 3:17pm zzz: @F16C, i just picked up 2 that were re-released so could be mistaking them without being at home but pretty sure it was this one, "The world is a cafeteria": www.discogs.com...
	♥ 3:18pm coelacanth∅: (i'd delete when i'm 64, but it's along the lines of the nostalgia theme they were looking for at first, so i think they'd have kept it)
	3:18pm Moog1 Radio: Several bootlegs released unused Mellotron passages from the Flying sessions. Some of the improvisations on the Mellotron go on for 7 minutes. Brief snippets were used for incidental music in the movie and used in the Rockband video game!
	♥ 3:19pm coelacanth∅: oh man, i'd like to hear that 7+ minute flying
	♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: I love near the end of this track where Shank starts to swing it a little
	♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: There will be a number of instances of doubling-up like this on specific songs
	♥ 3:25pm coelacanth∅: i was a bit confused by blue jay way when i got the album, but i'd already heard -and loved revolution 9 so i wasn't surprised, and i soon loved it. my older brother gave me shit for liking it.
	3:26pm David Shortell: WFMU's old magazine "Lowest Common Denominator" once reprinted Rex Reed's harsh review of the "Magical Mystery Tour" album.
	♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey David! The more I look back on Rex reed's writing I'm pretty sure he was certifiably insane. Like campy snark dialed up to 11 24/7.
	♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: I know Richard Goldstein famously panned both Sgt Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: @C - Blue Jay Way is a SUCH a weird song in contrast with the rest of the album. Not so weird compared to the rest of 1967
	♥ 3:30pm doctorjazz: Heard Ben Perowsky do a great cover of Flying at Barbes in Brooklyn some years ago.
	3:30pm Erica: Coo coo chachoo.
	♥ 3:30pm coelacanth∅: well, they're professional critics. they're supposed to be idiots aren't they? i doubt nme, rolling stone or the village voice ever had a critic that wasn't a complete buffoon.
	♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I'm not familiar with him, What kind of stuff does he play?
	3:31pm David Shortell: The eponymous (synonymous?) TV special was panned, but two of the actors appeared in a worse film: "Berserk!" starring Joan Crawford.
	♥ 3:31pm doctorjazz: Just saw Perowsky with Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra this past Monday-he's a monster (as is the band)!
	♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: @C - Yeah, but Rex Reed seemed to be especially unqualified to be writing about pop music. It's like he was saying, "If i can criticize movies I can criticize ANYTHING!"
	♥ 3:33pm coelacanth∅: oh, right he was a movie critic. i know the name but am not familiar with his rants
	3:33pm David Shortell: Yeah, Rex! Stay on your side of the Generation Gap!
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Rex was only 29 when MMT came out!
	♥ 3:35pm Yvang: Who's seen the movie? I though it wasn't so bad.
	♥ 3:35pm doctorjazz: He's mostly a jazz drummer-he's played with John Zorn, Dave Douglass, the NY "Downtown" scene.
	♥ 3:36pm doctorjazz: Also some pop artists, Rufus wainwright
	3:36pm Moog1 Radio: I think it is so cool that only on the US single for I Am The Walrus there exists an extra measure right before the "Yellow Matter Custard" line.
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: @Yvang - I have. It's not horrible, lots of great music and period charm, but it's a mess. They were a lot of things, but the Beatles were not filmmakers.
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 - I did not know that!
	3:37pm Jeff g. via app: Gotta stand up for Greg Tate and Gary Giddins at the Voice. Learned a ton from both. Ben Perowsky’s dad, Frank, was a horn player and arranger who played with some of the greats.
	♥ 3:38pm coelacanth∅: my brother had that 45. disappeared long ago.
	♥ 3:39pm doctorjazz: I also got much of my jazz education from Giddins and Tate in the Voice (and read Giddens' books)
	3:39pm Erica: Penny Lane makes me think of sunny afternoon in England.
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Lots of great critics, but also lots of music writers who were good writers but lacked the context needed to write well about music, and plenty of fanboys who were also shitty writers.
	3:39pm Erica: And it's often rainy there.
	3:40pm David Shortell: Were those King Lear actors compensated for their inclusion in the end of "I Am the Walrus"?
	♥ 3:40pm coelacanth∅: Jeff i'll take your word on it. unfairly to them i guess, i was thinking more of robert christgau (sp?) and just a few others i read long ago
	3:40pm Jeff g. via app: Agreed, Larry. Not a blanket endorsement.
	3:41pm Moog1 Radio: Releasing MMT as an LP in the States caused problems since there were no stereo mixes of most of the songs used for side 2 since they were only singles with no stereo mix made at the time.
	♥ 3:41pm doctorjazz: Used to like Christgau in the Voice as well; loved when he put together Pazz and Jop!
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: I wish someone would do an anthology of early rock writing. Lots of interesting writers/perspectives who were lost when Rolling Stone showed up.
	♥ 3:42pm coelacanth∅: ...and some of the fault lies in whomever tells them to review something by an artist they have never liked, nor understood
	3:43pm Erica: Hi coel.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: After I was disabused of my dream to be an album cover designer, I wanted to be a rock writer for the longest time, until I realized how awful/solipsistic a lot of it was.
	3:45pm Moog1 Radio: Love is the meaning of life. Life is the meaning of love...
	♥ 3:46pm coelacanth∅: i think christgau's a total jackass. of course he'll be on target some of the time, and he's a clever writer...but a huge % of his assessments just scream "this is beyond my comprehension", as far as i'm concerned. but he'd never suggest such a thing. he'll trash it first, and arrogantly.
	♥ 3:46pm Phillippe: howdy
	♥ 3:46pm StringOFperils: Early Rolling Stone was actually pretty formative for me, as per writing: Richard Meltzer, Lester Bangs sometmes, Nick Tosches, Hunter Thompson, Cameron Crowe...it was a sausage party I guess, but so was RAWK. Nick Tosches in particular is hugely under-rated IMO
	♥ 3:47pm coelacanth∅: hi Erica and Phillippe
	♥ 3:48pm Phillippe: Hey coel!
	3:53pm Moog1 Radio: Vincent Bell!
	3:53pm Jeff g. via app: I’ve lately been turned on to Ellen Willis and Ellen Sander, two women trailblazing rock writers.
	3:55pm Erica: Nice to join us Jeff.
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Kurt!
	♥ 3:55pm StringOFperils: Christgau is provocative. He likes to get a rise out of the reader. He knows there so much garbage, and he knows its willing consumers will get pissed off when they read his pronouncements. The claims made for most commercial music releases are ludicrous and, for the most part, the music press needs to have its pants pulled down in public. I loved Bangs and Meltzer who thought rock was a bloated liar, at the end of the 60s, and they wanted everyone to join in putting it out of its misery...or our misery.
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Lillian Roxon, too.
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: @String - Christgau gets a bad rap but he has interesting taste, and I think he's a good writer.
	3:57pm CupcakeJenny: Hello Mr. Grogan. Gang.
	♥ 3:57pm StringOFperils: In short, I don't think it should be taken too seriously, or at face-value. Its appropriate posturing. It's modern art itself.
	♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Why, hello Mrs Grogan!
	3:59pm Erica: Hi Jenny.
	4:00pm CupcakeJenny: This is not the version the played in the tent with the Scrambler in the dark at The Great Escape in Lake George!
	4:01pm CupcakeJenny: Hi Erica!
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: Which one, Magical Mystery Tour or Fool On the Hill?
	4:02pm Moog1 Radio: It's cool how the Sergio Mendes is so derivative, it actually spawned it's own cover versions of its arrangement
	4:02pm CupcakeJenny: Magical mystery tour. In my memory there was a strobe light going lol
	♥ 4:03pm Funky16Corners: You kids and your drugs...
	♥ 4:03pm StringOFperils: I wish I could locate the dead animal in this house. Pee yewwww. I know it's not me, I took a shower.
	♥ 4:03pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 = That'd make an interesting show, cover versions that cop the arrangements, too
	4:04pm David Shortell: Joe Pesci sang both "The Fool on the Hill" and "Fixing a Hole" on his 1968 album.
	4:04pm CupcakeJenny: https://stusa.wordpress.com/2012/07/11/chippers-magical-mystery-ride/ Look my memory isn’t wrong lol though I should have said Storytown.
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: @David - I've played Pesci's version of Fixing a Hole on the show!
	♥ 4:05pm WR: Hello Larry and Testifiers! I am so removed from the many listens I gave to MMT back in the day that I didn't realize that all these Beatles songs are from that one album.
	4:05pm still b/p: I think what you got there is the smell of dead hope for the world.
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: @still b/p > You bin talkin' to someone about me?
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: @sbp -I think you're onto something.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: @CupcakeJenny - An indoor scrambler in a geodesic dome?!?!?
	♥ 4:06pm StringOFperils: It certainly ain't the same world it was 10 days ago, and it's not going back to that either.
	4:07pm David Shortell: Judging from his rant on the live "Take No Prisoners" album, Lou Reed was no fan of Robert Christgau.
	♥ 4:07pm zzz: good groove on this Flying
	♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: Flying is one of those tunes, really simple, basic, but just hits the spot!
	♥ 4:08pm WR: Spring cleaning has starting here and a dead mouse was found behind a shelf in the kitchen. Duly disposed and scrubbed. Wish it was as easy to get rid of that rat Putin and his gangster buddies
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: We cleaned out our coat closet and discovered a mummified mouse.
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: No doubt left there by an ancient mouse civilization who thought our coat closet was the afterlife
	4:10pm Moog1 Radio: At least they let Mal Evans play a magician!
	4:10pm Erica: Oh my Larry. How long has that mouse been in there?
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: Poor Mal Evans...
	4:10pm CupcakeJenny: Don’t tell people about the mouse.
	♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: I already did...
	4:11pm still b/p: Mum(mified)'s the word.
	4:11pm CupcakeJenny: Yes inside scrambler with strobe lights how did people not stroke out daily?
	♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: IXNAY ON THE OUSEMAY
	4:11pm Erica: Get rid of it and sanitize the coat closet. And let's never speak of it again.
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: @CupcakeJenny - How many people left that dome on stretchers?
	♥ 4:12pm Little Danny: Hi Larry hi all!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	4:13pm CupcakeJenny: Ok leaving school. Time to switch to my audiobook. Now everyone knows what a terrible wife you have ;)
	♥ 4:13pm StringOFperils: Great show concept, Larry. I'm finding this pretty amusing.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: @CupcakeJenny - My wife is the best! Drive safely.
	4:15pm still b/p: I know a guy who worked on a local version of Scrambler -- "Astrosphere" -- for at least a few years, listening to Fire on High blasting as the permanent accompaniment. He says it actually didn't lead to insanity or loathing. Somehow he just got accustomed.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: @String - These shows are fun to do. The Beatles attracted so many covers, from all over the spectrum.
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: @sbp - I spent a summer managing a pizza stand in a theme park, across from a gazebo where a bar band played Kool and the Gang's 'Celebration' about 15 times a day. I never want to hear that song again.
	4:18pm still b/p: I know that's unpleasant...but it's funny.
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: It is now. Then, not so much.
	♥ 4:19pm StringOFperils: I couldn't listen to The Beatles for the longest time...a lot of years. I still try to minimize my exposure because I don't want it to be a negative experience.
	4:20pm CupcakeJenny: Xoxo bye funky16ers. Your fans need a name like Whovians or Juggalos.
	♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: I was such a huge Beatles fan when I was 12-13 that I can pretty much work my way through any of their albums in my head without the assistance of physical media.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: @CupcakeJenny - TESTIFERIONS!
	4:21pm CupcakeJenny: Hahaha that’s good
	4:21pm Erica: Testifiers!
	4:22pm Moog1 Radio: This song was long enough for me to wander over to google maps and look at the street view of Blue Jay Way in LA
	4:22pm Moog1 Radio: Looks like there's no issue of that street sign being stolen like Penny Lane
	4:22pm CupcakeJenny: Of course I forgot. My brain is mush after school.
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: I'll have to do that after the show!
	♥ 4:23pm StringOFperils: There's a Blue Jay Way here, but that was just some lame idea that someone had about the street to where the baseball club is based.
	4:25pm Moog1 Radio: After George's friends didnt show I'm sure Mal tucked George into bed
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 - Did you post this album on Now Playing?
	4:26pm Moog1 Radio: That's right i Did!
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: I want to find the English version. It included a cover of Autumn Almanac that isn't on the US issue
	4:29pm Moog1 Radio: Did you know that the radio play snippets that you hear at the end of I Am The Walrus were fed into the board live during the mono mixing of the song? So when they mixed for stereo the radio feed was gone. That's the reason why the song goes duophonic in the middle part.
	♥ 4:30pm doctorjazz: Back when my younger daughter was in 1st gr or so, we had a mouse invasion. Her class was given a project to "write a book; they got a small, blank hardcover book and did books on animals. Parents were invited to come in and hear them all read their books. Molly did one called, "Mice, Mice, Everywhere", which was a bit embarrassing...
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 - I did not know that (either)!
	4:31pm Moog1 Radio: They recently recovered an isolated version of the play for the new Giles Martin mixes and made a true stereo mix
	♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - What are out children here for, if not to embarrass us occasionally?
	♥ 4:31pm StringOFperils: Mice, mice, everywhere, And not a stop to stink.
	♥ 4:33pm WR: Walrus is probably my favorite Spooky Tooth recording.
	♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: Post-Gary Wright Spooky Tooth!
	4:34pm Erica: @StringOfPearls...yet
	♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: Mike Harrison was in the VIP's with Greg Ridley, which is probably how he ended up in Spooky Tooth
	4:35pm Julie: Hiya Larry!
	4:36pm Erica: @StringOFperils...yet.
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: Hi Julie!
	4:36pm Erica: Sorry I had to retype that. I misspelled the username.
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to stay tuned as Julie fills in for Kip when I finish tonight: wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:37pm StringOFperils: Hah. I deserve to have my handle misspelled for abusing Coleridge like that. (Sorry buddy.)
	4:38pm still b/p: Mice at girlfriend's house recently tucked goldfish crackers neatly under the covers of her made bed. One ran across her face in bed when the new resident cat was going after it. Cat later caught one, but there's worry about her eating mice that have snacked on the poisoned bait under the sink. Such rigmarodentrole.
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: Pests. Though we are living in their world, too. Oh dear, are WE the pests?!?
	♥ 4:41pm StringOFperils: I had a cat that brought me a fresh kill when I was in bed. I turned the light on to see what all the thrashing was about, and found a headless mouse in bed with me...like Stuart Little and The Godfather put together.
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: That's grotesquely hilarious!
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: When I was a kid we had a beagle that was prodigious mouser.
	♥ 4:42pm StringOFperils: It wasn't leaky or nothin'; actually it looked like it was full of raspberry jam.
	4:44pm still b/p: Oh, no. Killed your beloved prized racemouse! In other relevant eating, a tribute dish on biteswiththebeatles website: "I set out to create a spaghetti recipe that Aunt Jessie would dream about every night." And the recipe is right there for us.
	4:45pm Julie: this is a most excellent warmup for my discotech underground fill in! MOSTLY 60s stuff. happening soon at wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:45pm coelacanth∅: i have a trap that's a good mouser
	4:45pm Erica: Hi Julie. Will tune in to your fill in show.
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: Ben Harper sounding like a young Peter Gabriel here
	4:46pm Moog1 Radio: Solisbury Hill Forever!
	♥ 4:46pm StringOFperils: A bit like Cat Stevens as well.
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Yes!
	♥ 4:47pm coelacanth∅: all of the above. ...+ Ben Harper.
	4:47pm still b/p: I only learned/realized four days ago that Noel was Rex's son.
	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: Check the archives, I did a whole show devoted to Noel Harrison!
	♥ 4:48pm zzz: yes to peter gabriel soundalike!
	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:49pm doctorjazz: WR, report on Mondays Steve Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra show at the Atlantic-they were terrific. Lots of early lazy, Blues, recent pop, New Orleans music (Mardi gras started Tuesday), great band-Curtis Fowlkes, tbn, Charlie Burnham, violin, Doug Wiesselman, clarinet, Tenor, Peter Apfelbaum, tenor, Eric Lawrence bari sax, Matt Munisteri, guitar, Ben Allison, bass, Ben Perowsky, drums. Seen a lot, most of these guys in the past, but it's been a while, COVID, some look so much older, shocking (happens with friends I see now too), but they were fantastic! Nice venue too!
	♥ 4:50pm StringOFperils: Saw Noel on TV several times, and he never had shoes or socks, EVER.
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: Like Sandie Shaw!
	♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: @Julie - I may end up going a minute or two long. I'll sweep up as fast as I can...
	♥ 4:51pm coelacanth∅: WR @4.33 i'll have to go with society's child on that
	♥ 4:51pm zzz: LOVE that band @docjazz
	4:52pm Julie: okiedoke!
	♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for understanding!
	♥ 4:53pm zzz: MTO did a cover of all you need is love, incidentally, on one of their early albums
	4:53pm Moog1 Radio: Mort Garson is the conductor on this one!
	4:54pm Erica: We need more Kenny Rankin on this show. His music is very hauntingly mellow.
	♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: I can oblige. I like Kenny!
	4:56pm Julie: the Noel Collage album is great I've been playing it a bit myself. (yeah I know I'm late)
	4:57pm still b/p: I would take the last couple for corporate and customer service "on hold" music over the strange anemic mouse waste that's typically looping in my ear.
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Jeff Ash: Thanks, Larry! Good one!
	♥ 4:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks Larry! Cool show. Thanks for putting up with me.
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all!
	♥ 4:59pm Yvang: Thanks, Larry! Great selection!
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure, String!
	4:59pm still b/p: Rolled up nicely!
	4:59pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
