	3:13pm clarke: spods!!!! pray tell watt's up?

	3:24pm Robm: Nice tune todd

	3:26pm clarke: (a town in maryland)
	♥ 3:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay CatStevens toon.
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm ACmonicAC: Did you know that Cat Stevens wrote this?
	♥ 3:28pm joe mulligan: medson: are you close to Exit 0? missing the South Jersey Shore this weekend.
	♥ 3:28pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My mom had a hat like that. Not the most flattering.
	3:29pm Yod Crewsy: Revol & ACmonicAC - never knew that! Thanks for the tidbit!
	♥ 3:29pm spodiodi: yooo Jack!
	♥ 3:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never wanted a Tele. Except to be JeffBeck in the yARdbiRdS. I'm probly wrong right?
	3:30pm bobob Fabulon Triptometer: @Hey Todd...i heard what u said bout" how can a great great band like the Texas Tornados be from a state that contains 2 lil Asshole Shitheads like Cruzcrap and Ab-butt??
	3:30pm clarke: join the club!! (with the wires all over the place)
	♥ 3:30pm Dennis Diken: go, Todd! hey, gang!
	3:31pm clarke: DD!! speaking of jeff beck's tele - one of my tele's is white.
	♥ 3:32pm efd: evan "lowercase" davies checking in!
	3:32pm Yod Crewsy: RevolutionRabbit - for sheer trebly twang, nothing plays like a tele!
	3:32pm clarke: 'ello lowercase!
	3:32pm Steak and Ale: Go SK8
	♥ 3:32pm drr: RevRab: If you're a "Tele" type player (like Waylon Jennings or someething) they're indispensable. I'm not one though. I like my Tele but I use the Strat a lot more.
	3:33pm clarke: sheesh - here we go.
	♥ 3:34pm spodiodi: hats* FTFY!
	3:34pm Peter v: Love this
	3:34pm Andres: When I lived out west we would shred the gnar on the ski hill. That’s what the kids told me we were doing.
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm medson: Glam it up !
	♥ 3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @drr: Yeah I'ma StratHead. Just trying to stir up Strat v. Tele schizzle... Bet if I had a T I'd grow fond of it...
	3:36pm P-90: Gumbo rocks!
	♥ 3:36pm efd: oh I just got this comp but haven't had a chance to listen yet. If this Gumbo track is any indication I'm in for a treat!
	♥ 3:36pm joe mulligan: It's stephen SMITH everybody! the mic is yours for everyone listening.. StephenSmith is an American sports television personality, sports radio host, and sports journalist.
	♥ 3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GlamStomp with nice unpolished edges. & ladies !
	♥ 3:37pm drr: stephen SMITH: think the Broncs will be contenders with Wilson?
	3:37pm Victrola Tom: @ Joe Mulligan: I was at Jilly’s but didn’t actually play done hockey. I was just teasing someone!
	♥ 3:38pm drr: whoo chattanooga!
	3:39pm Stu Rutherford: I once heard the sound of the Stratocaster described as "like a Tele with a headcold" which I thought was fitting. Count me in the Tele camp.
	3:39pm Andres: Curious what the beverage of choice is in Chattanooga?
	3:40pm Beez: NOBRO are obviously snowboarders or skiers...They're so gnar :)
	3:41pm clarke: graham day and Gaolers in studio as we listen, hear..
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: Yo clarke!
	♥ 3:41pm drr: Andres: Chattanooga is where the first put Coca-Cola in bottles. The families are still the rich families there.
	♥ 3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Strats have Range of Tones. More Surf Treble than Bakersfield tho, I could concede ...,myself kinda like a Humbucker in the Treble, tho purists will say that's no longer Fender...
	3:42pm clarke: dennis hello
	♥ 3:43pm drr: Rev Rab: my strat came from the pawn shop that way. Humbucker in the bridge position.
	3:43pm Stu Rutherford: Still need to pick up that "Can The Glam" comp. Was on my unwritten "to buy" list but then escaped my mind.
	3:43pm bobobob: and your correct about those 2 assholes
	3:43pm clarke: they ain't got no Riverfronts in 'nooga!
	♥ 3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like - you want Tele, use Strat Middle, or Middle+Treble ...how much Twang we really need here - it's a Fender...
	♥ 3:44pm drr: whut, clarke?
	♥ 3:44pm joe mulligan: hahaha @Victrola Tom I loved that place! spent many quarters on the Sega Sea Devil and Exidy Death Race arcade games
	3:44pm clarke: DRR - how wuz that fish fry, last nite?? catfish?
	3:44pm P-90: I’ve had Strat-type guitars and Tele-type guitars, they’re very similar, like two versions of the same idea. They do excel at different things, but it’s all in what you do with them, there are tons of well-known tracks with guitars on them that might be one or the other but good luck telling which by listening. In my experience, a lot of players settle on one or the other because of the ergonomics, I.e, how a guitar “feels” to play.
	♥ 3:45pm drr: Chattanooga is like Sim City now. All the amenities are placed close to the river.
	♥ 3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Among the uncredited sources of Zep rips, let us @ last recognize SmallFaces...
	3:45pm Dennis Diken: Yeah, TOPT, Small Faces - WELL, ALRIGHT!!
	♥ 3:45pm drr: ha, clarke, I napped right through it
	♥ 3:46pm B R M: Great show! @Todd-o-phonic Todd - not one for "music festivals", but we let at the chance to grab a set of VIP tickets for the FRANTIC CITY show in September... see you there and thanks for bringing such a great lineup down to AC!
	♥ 3:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: P-90: On point.
	3:46pm clarke: oh you too?? i was in a food coma, last evening!
	♥ 3:46pm drr: P-90: also true. I'm just not good enough to get the good sounds out of the Tele, and the Strat has the sculpted back that makes it a bit more comfortable to wear.
	♥ 3:47pm B R M: lept* at the chance...
	♥ 3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho would maintain that say Hendrix landed on Strats for the Range ...& yerknow, optics.
	♥ 3:48pm Chili MacPagoda: The show sounds dynamite. Like good medicine or biscuits and sweet tea. Thanks, Todd
	♥ 3:49pm drr: Also I'm about 110% left-handed, which leaves Gibsons and stuff out of the conversation for me. Many more lefty Fenders around.
	3:49pm Stu Rutherford: I bought myself a cheap Strat for the occasional instance when I want that tone but I find the sound of my PGW Phantom (basically Vox's version of the strat) more appealing for those times. It has more bite to it that the Fender which I dig.
	🎸 ♥ 3:50pm medson: Great track 😀
	♥ 3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tho pain in the ass to replace a string on a Strat quickly I'm afraid I've discovered...
	♥ 3:50pm joe mulligan: hahahaha @drr. TOPT squashed stephen smith
	3:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: It's too Chili for Twilley!
	3:51pm Yod Crewsy: super twang I get with a Ric 330, but find it is not as user-friendly...neck slightly too narrow for me...
	3:52pm Stu Rutherford: @RevRabbit - Ever try changing strings on a Ric 12-string? Major chore!
	♥ 3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh Ric is another universe of Tone, is it not ?
	3:53pm Yod Crewsy: Stu - labor of love!!
	3:53pm clarke: i wish i could have the oppor-tune-nity
	3:53pm P-90: @drr: yes, it’s the way the instrument balances, how it sits against your body, even where the knobs are located. And response, like how the sound reacts to changes in picking dynamics, bending strings, etc. Lots of folks really seem to stick with one or the other because it’s what they’re familiar with, more than a big difference in function between the two. That goes for Teles and Strats with humbuckers too.
	🎸 ♥ 3:53pm ACmonicAC: Yassss!
	♥ 3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lore has it that if one saw the early BYrdS you would wait for much Tuning.
	3:54pm Andres: That Frantic City lineup, wow!!
	♥ 3:54pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: This show is kicking it, Todd! Thanks!
	♥ 3:54pm drr: @joe mulligan: well, my Russ Wilson question still stands. Anyone can proffer a response.
	♥ 3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fender briefly had a signature Hendrix Strat - upside-down lefty strung for us righties. Surprisingly different feeling !
	🎸 ♥ 3:55pm ACmonicAC: Love me some Mick Taylor.
	3:55pm Stu Rutherford: I ended up setting up my Strat in one of Ricky Wilson's odd tunings. 4 strings, CFXXFF.
	3:55pm clarke: i dunno i think ol' russ might be done
	3:55pm P-90: @RevRab: yes, because those things are much harder to keep in tune under hot stage lights
	♥ 3:56pm drr: P-90: right? My Tele has a "tight" feel I can't explain. (except all the knobs are loose...it needs TLC). Strat seems more responsive. I'm going to put lighter strings on the Tele and see how I like it then.
	🎸 ♥ 3:56pm ACmonicAC: Hi Medson. Sorry I had to miss your show yesterday. I’ll catch it on the archives.
	♥ 3:57pm drr: ...and every time I hear Dr. Feelgood I want to get the Tele out.
	🎸 ♥ 3:57pm medson: All good Monica. Good to see ya here today
	♥ 3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...aside from Surf - Strat to me implies Soul players in the other pickups ...& all the Alt~Indys are Jagstangy, which I'd love to explore...
	3:58pm Yod Crewsy: drr- still got my paisley Tele !- you remember that thing?
	♥ 3:58pm drr: @clarke: I don't think he's the miracle worker some do but if the supporting cast is there....which I sort of doubt
	♥ 3:59pm drr: Yod: I do! All the shows we played I used the tele, didn't have the strat yet.
	🎸 ♥ 3:59pm Frank In Queens: Ahoy!
	♥ 3:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Strat neck to me seems 'fluid' & 'slippery' like SoulChords ...Gibson almost 'Classical'...
	3:59pm Stu Rutherford: Hey Frank!
	4:00pm clarke: guy who lives nextdoor to me has a paisley tele. i just have a gut-feeling like wilson is over, but have been wrong. a lot.
	♥ 4:00pm drr: I can't name a good receiver or back on the broncos, but I'm a southern NFC guy
	4:01pm P-90: Gibson necks actually feel “Jazzy”, which is their heritage anyway
	♥ 4:01pm drr: Rev Rab: maple neck?
	♥ 4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: drr yeah - & I presume the Radius & Width as well.
	♥ 4:03pm spodiodi: ahoy, Frank!
	♥ 4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 🔥 SAINTS 🔥
	4:05pm clarke: it always baffles me that there are records available to everyone in seconds that i would have killed for, growing up. but what baffles me more is that the kids don't listen to them!
	4:06pm P-90: @clarke: exactly
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm medson: All Hail The Saints !!!!
	4:07pm clarke: i saw Bailey stranded on his own - solo in ft. lauderdale - he was fantastic!!
	♥ 4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Several of the earliest definitive Punk releases struggled for some time against mainstream culture & industry in the mid1970s then to get out. Let alone some outcasts from Brisbaine Australia.
	4:09pm SeanG: SAINTS!!
	4:09pm Yod Crewsy: More Saints!!!
	4:10pm SeanG: hey medson, love yr show! that castanets song from Alejandro, haven't heard that in ages.
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm common: todd all. rock
	4:12pm SeanG: common. beersies.
	4:13pm Joe B: Ed Kuepper: The band was a full thing by 1974. Two and a half years later, this incredibly fashionable movement comes along, only an arsehole would have associated himself with that.
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm medson: Thanks Sean
	♥ 4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JoeB: Haha !
	♥ 4:14pm drr: how do you pronounce Kuepper?
	4:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @drr: "Cooper"
	♥ 4:15pm drr: thanks!
	♥ 4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Clash's debut LP not officially released in the USA til 1979. That was another world.
	🎸 ♥ 4:18pm Frank In Queens: Strange that this one didn't make the album.
	4:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: Pretty sure it was recorded a bit later.
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm The Spoony: This song was hard for me to track down pre-discogs.
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, wow so the joke version was recorded first?
	4:22pm Andres: Love this version!
	♥ 4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wasn't even exposed to Saints LPs after the blazing imperishable Debut - except as Singles trax played here & there infrequently. This is completely wrong.
	4:22pm Stuntz: Kickin’, mang.
	4:23pm clarke: Geaux Todd Geaux!!
	4:23pm dday: Hey Dennis..if you're still here..I bought that book about The Who at Union Catholic HS. 16 Chapters in..a good read. Thanks
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm Frank In Queens: Yeah.
	♥ 4:24pm efd: One of the all-time great songs!
	4:24pm clarke: all riiiight.
	4:24pm SeanG: HORNS!!
	♥ 4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Such great Songs !
	♥ 4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who Produced them ??
	4:27pm SeanG: I wonder if there is a go-betweens / saints connection??
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm Frank In Queens: Eternally Yours is self-produced.
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm Joel: There is only 1 response to this song.. TURN IT UP !!!
	♥ 4:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah webz I guess say Self-Produced after the 1st more or less...
	♥ 4:30pm joe mulligan: one thing I love about WFMU is that the DJs pull through with completely different tributes. Loved efd's this week, and this one TOPT is doing too for Chris Bailey is ear-opening.
	♥ 4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ChrisBailey like VanMorrison's delinquint son...
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm The Spoony: I feel like the Prehistoric Sounds album if every bit as visionary as the (I’m) Stranded album.
	♥ 4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard no Saints doesn't seem Gold to me.
	♥ 4:36pm patrick321: Hey Todd and all. Really enjoyed the Saints tribute (despite being at the supermarket).
	♥ 4:36pm spodiodi: nice
	♥ 4:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: "Hey, it's that Luka chick!"
	4:39pm clarke: hey, to anyone's knowlege has a pitcher ever just said "coach take me out", without being injured or anything??
	4:41pm SeanG: I used to do that in little league Clarke, didn't like to be the center of attention
	4:42pm clarke: wow! i don't think i have ever heard of it.
	♥ 4:43pm patrick321: Went to visit my sister in far west village in 80s and ran into Lenny Kaye at the concierge desk saying he was there to visit “Vega” — I said hi to Lenny and asked, kind of surprised, because the place was a bit fancy, “Alan Vega lives in this building?” He laughed and said “No, the other one.”
	4:43pm Claire from Montclair: Her voice is so beautiful!
	4:44pm SeanG: "you and me Carson McCullers". lyric from Westerberg solo song "Dice Behind yr Shades"
	4:46pm nardo: I was working at a record store in the mid 80's and can vividly remember her first couple records being heavily played in the store.
	♥ 4:47pm B R M: Shout out to my dear friend Mike Tully for directing the new Suzanne Vega movie! I really liked it! ❤️
	♥ 4:52pm spodiodi: god, i wish i stayed in san francisco
	♥ 4:52pm spodiodi: shakes fist at pandemic
	♥ 4:54pm Jim the Poet: Suzanne Vega rules
	♥ 4:56pm spodiodi: nice interview, Todd!
	♥ 4:56pm patrick321: What spodiodi said
	4:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks guys!
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Frank In Queens: Might have to spin Transformer later on this evening.
	5:00pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: I'll await the Instagram post.
	5:02pm b0b0b0b0b0b0b dublon: met lou at Park West in Chicago ..gave him a Cecil Taylor Unit bootleg cassette ...lol ..he was at least halfway nice to me some people from Chicago said hey he's(lou)talkin to you from the stage ...so I guess he didn't hate hahaha
	🎸 ♥ 5:02pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, the light will be crap by then, so I'll be listening to it all stealth-like.
	5:02pm clarke: hey if anyone wants ONE free ticket to Guided By Voices in chapel hill on april 29th, i don't think i am gonna make that show.
	🎸 ♥ 5:03pm medson: Killer Show TOPT, heading out soon to check out the action at the mini golf action in town
	🎸 ♥ 5:04pm medson: Not sure why I said action twice. but you know what I mean
	5:04pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @medson: Oh man, we have to play together soon.
	♥ 5:06pm Franco Twinkie: By any chance is that little Todd at Easter Brunch?
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm medson: Yes and I want to call ya tomorrow. Need to ask ya a few things
	♥ 5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always felt somehow like TomThumb's was a sort of transitional tune for Dylan - pivoting from his unbelievable all-time peak to a sort of weariness - a change of intoxicants one feels? Not to denigrate it by any means. Country Style from there...
	♥ 5:13pm chresti: Hi Todd-O-Phonics! I like the Easter hats the ladies are wearing in the playlist pic.
	♥ 5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho still only mid1965...
	♥ 5:14pm Franco Twinkie: The run up to Easter has always been a big music week for me since I was a teenager - Arthur Lee, Tom Verlaine, Mermen, Johnny Winter, J. Giels... ect.
	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm Frank In Queens: My god, this song is pure poetry.
	♥ 5:14pm Brian D: Great show. Great interview with Suzanne Vega. Still love Carson McCullers. Thanks Todd.
	♥ 5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe not really, Blonde On Blonde still ahead. Illusion of knowing it from Greatest Hits I guess. Anyhow...
	5:16pm clarke: splendid, sir.
	♥ 5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...otoh, maybe Blonde On Blonde is about Handfuls of Rain ...cetera.
	5:19pm Van Winkle: Once...might be eee-nuff on that Wheeler Walker Jr. track ...but I definitely got a kick out of it. That's the bee-U-T of the genre...
	♥ 5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - also, Blonde On Blonde was Nashville ...sorry...
	5:23pm tom tom the pipers son: this dale hollow has a groovy groove to it...
	♥ 5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Shuffle? TwoStep ??
	5:25pm tom tom the pipers son: i dunno, but its groovy
	♥ 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...into 3/4 there ? ...speaking of Tele twangs...

	5:28pm Hams: i miss seeing the ugly band in the basement.
	♥ 5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it. '
	♥ 5:30pm Franco Twinkie: Mekons for ever.
	♥ 5:32pm ashestoashes: My 11 year old daughter wants me to say that the bunny in the photo is the creepiest thing and she doesn't know why everyone is so happy about it.
	♥ 5:32pm Franco Twinkie: There's a great picture of Claudia with original Mothers of Invention. She must have been a good hang.
	♥ 5:33pm JohnEBGood: Twist Susy and Abbie!!
	♥ 5:34pm Jim the Poet: she's right
	5:34pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Franco Twinkle: No doubt.
	5:34pm clarke: unless you are spider savage

	5:37pm ben in ilm: Kind of bummed Svengoolie isn’t showing an encore presentation of Night of the Lepus tonight.
	5:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @ben in ilm: Maybe Sventoonie will show a Richochet Rabbit cartoon tonight.
	5:39pm elkeno: Everybody loves Jonathan

	♥ 3:30pm Dennis Diken: go, Todd! hey, gang!

	♥ 3:32pm efd: evan "lowercase" davies checking in!
	3:32pm Yod Crewsy: RevolutionRabbit - for sheer trebly twang, nothing plays like a tele!
	3:32pm clarke: 'ello lowercase!
	3:32pm Steak and Ale: Go SK8
	♥ 3:32pm drr: RevRab: If you're a "Tele" type player (like Waylon Jennings or someething) they're indispensable. I'm not one though. I like my Tele but I use the Strat a lot more.
	3:33pm clarke: sheesh - here we go.
	♥ 3:34pm spodiodi: hats* FTFY!
	3:34pm Peter v: Love this
	3:34pm Andres: When I lived out west we would shred the gnar on the ski hill. That’s what the kids told me we were doing.
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm medson: Glam it up !
	♥ 3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @drr: Yeah I'ma StratHead. Just trying to stir up Strat v. Tele schizzle... Bet if I had a T I'd grow fond of it...
	3:36pm P-90: Gumbo rocks!
	♥ 3:36pm efd: oh I just got this comp but haven't had a chance to listen yet. If this Gumbo track is any indication I'm in for a treat!
	♥ 3:36pm joe mulligan: It's stephen SMITH everybody! the mic is yours for everyone listening.. StephenSmith is an American sports television personality, sports radio host, and sports journalist.
	♥ 3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GlamStomp with nice unpolished edges. & ladies !
	♥ 3:37pm drr: stephen SMITH: think the Broncs will be contenders with Wilson?
	3:37pm Victrola Tom: @ Joe Mulligan: I was at Jilly’s but didn’t actually play done hockey. I was just teasing someone!
	♥ 3:38pm drr: whoo chattanooga!
	3:39pm Stu Rutherford: I once heard the sound of the Stratocaster described as "like a Tele with a headcold" which I thought was fitting. Count me in the Tele camp.
	3:39pm Andres: Curious what the beverage of choice is in Chattanooga?
	3:40pm Beez: NOBRO are obviously snowboarders or skiers...They're so gnar :)
	3:41pm clarke: graham day and Gaolers in studio as we listen, hear..
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: Yo clarke!
	♥ 3:41pm drr: Andres: Chattanooga is where the first put Coca-Cola in bottles. The families are still the rich families there.
	♥ 3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Strats have Range of Tones. More Surf Treble than Bakersfield tho, I could concede ...,myself kinda like a Humbucker in the Treble, tho purists will say that's no longer Fender...
	3:42pm clarke: dennis hello
	♥ 3:43pm drr: Rev Rab: my strat came from the pawn shop that way. Humbucker in the bridge position.
	3:43pm Stu Rutherford: Still need to pick up that "Can The Glam" comp. Was on my unwritten "to buy" list but then escaped my mind.
	3:43pm bobobob: and your correct about those 2 assholes
	3:43pm clarke: they ain't got no Riverfronts in 'nooga!
	♥ 3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like - you want Tele, use Strat Middle, or Middle+Treble ...how much Twang we really need here - it's a Fender...
	♥ 3:44pm drr: whut, clarke?
	♥ 3:44pm joe mulligan: hahaha @Victrola Tom I loved that place! spent many quarters on the Sega Sea Devil and Exidy Death Race arcade games
	3:44pm clarke: DRR - how wuz that fish fry, last nite?? catfish?
	3:44pm P-90: I’ve had Strat-type guitars and Tele-type guitars, they’re very similar, like two versions of the same idea. They do excel at different things, but it’s all in what you do with them, there are tons of well-known tracks with guitars on them that might be one or the other but good luck telling which by listening. In my experience, a lot of players settle on one or the other because of the ergonomics, I.e, how a guitar “feels” to play.
	♥ 3:45pm drr: Chattanooga is like Sim City now. All the amenities are placed close to the river.
	♥ 3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Among the uncredited sources of Zep rips, let us @ last recognize SmallFaces...
	3:45pm Dennis Diken: Yeah, TOPT, Small Faces - WELL, ALRIGHT!!
	♥ 3:45pm drr: ha, clarke, I napped right through it
	♥ 3:46pm B R M: Great show! @Todd-o-phonic Todd - not one for "music festivals", but we let at the chance to grab a set of VIP tickets for the FRANTIC CITY show in September... see you there and thanks for bringing such a great lineup down to AC!
	♥ 3:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: P-90: On point.
	3:46pm clarke: oh you too?? i was in a food coma, last evening!
	♥ 3:46pm drr: P-90: also true. I'm just not good enough to get the good sounds out of the Tele, and the Strat has the sculpted back that makes it a bit more comfortable to wear.
	♥ 3:47pm B R M: lept* at the chance...
	♥ 3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho would maintain that say Hendrix landed on Strats for the Range ...& yerknow, optics.
	♥ 3:48pm Chili MacPagoda: The show sounds dynamite. Like good medicine or biscuits and sweet tea. Thanks, Todd
	♥ 3:49pm drr: Also I'm about 110% left-handed, which leaves Gibsons and stuff out of the conversation for me. Many more lefty Fenders around.
	3:49pm Stu Rutherford: I bought myself a cheap Strat for the occasional instance when I want that tone but I find the sound of my PGW Phantom (basically Vox's version of the strat) more appealing for those times. It has more bite to it that the Fender which I dig.
	🎸 ♥ 3:50pm medson: Great track 😀
	♥ 3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tho pain in the ass to replace a string on a Strat quickly I'm afraid I've discovered...
	♥ 3:50pm joe mulligan: hahahaha @drr. TOPT squashed stephen smith
	3:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: It's too Chili for Twilley!
	3:51pm Yod Crewsy: super twang I get with a Ric 330, but find it is not as user-friendly...neck slightly too narrow for me...
	3:52pm Stu Rutherford: @RevRabbit - Ever try changing strings on a Ric 12-string? Major chore!
	♥ 3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh Ric is another universe of Tone, is it not ?
	3:53pm Yod Crewsy: Stu - labor of love!!
	3:53pm clarke: i wish i could have the oppor-tune-nity
	3:53pm P-90: @drr: yes, it’s the way the instrument balances, how it sits against your body, even where the knobs are located. And response, like how the sound reacts to changes in picking dynamics, bending strings, etc. Lots of folks really seem to stick with one or the other because it’s what they’re familiar with, more than a big difference in function between the two. That goes for Teles and Strats with humbuckers too.
	🎸 ♥ 3:53pm ACmonicAC: Yassss!
	♥ 3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lore has it that if one saw the early BYrdS you would wait for much Tuning.
	3:54pm Andres: That Frantic City lineup, wow!!
	♥ 3:54pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: This show is kicking it, Todd! Thanks!
	♥ 3:54pm drr: @joe mulligan: well, my Russ Wilson question still stands. Anyone can proffer a response.
	♥ 3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fender briefly had a signature Hendrix Strat - upside-down lefty strung for us righties. Surprisingly different feeling !
	🎸 ♥ 3:55pm ACmonicAC: Love me some Mick Taylor.
	3:55pm Stu Rutherford: I ended up setting up my Strat in one of Ricky Wilson's odd tunings. 4 strings, CFXXFF.
	3:55pm clarke: i dunno i think ol' russ might be done
	3:55pm P-90: @RevRab: yes, because those things are much harder to keep in tune under hot stage lights
	♥ 3:56pm drr: P-90: right? My Tele has a "tight" feel I can't explain. (except all the knobs are loose...it needs TLC). Strat seems more responsive. I'm going to put lighter strings on the Tele and see how I like it then.
	🎸 ♥ 3:56pm ACmonicAC: Hi Medson. Sorry I had to miss your show yesterday. I’ll catch it on the archives.
	♥ 3:57pm drr: ...and every time I hear Dr. Feelgood I want to get the Tele out.
	🎸 ♥ 3:57pm medson: All good Monica. Good to see ya here today
	♥ 3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...aside from Surf - Strat to me implies Soul players in the other pickups ...& all the Alt~Indys are Jagstangy, which I'd love to explore...
	3:58pm Yod Crewsy: drr- still got my paisley Tele !- you remember that thing?
	♥ 3:58pm drr: @clarke: I don't think he's the miracle worker some do but if the supporting cast is there....which I sort of doubt
	♥ 3:59pm drr: Yod: I do! All the shows we played I used the tele, didn't have the strat yet.
	🎸 ♥ 3:59pm Frank In Queens: Ahoy!
	♥ 3:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Strat neck to me seems 'fluid' & 'slippery' like SoulChords ...Gibson almost 'Classical'...
	3:59pm Stu Rutherford: Hey Frank!
	4:00pm clarke: guy who lives nextdoor to me has a paisley tele. i just have a gut-feeling like wilson is over, but have been wrong. a lot.
	♥ 4:00pm drr: I can't name a good receiver or back on the broncos, but I'm a southern NFC guy
	4:01pm P-90: Gibson necks actually feel “Jazzy”, which is their heritage anyway
	♥ 4:01pm drr: Rev Rab: maple neck?
	♥ 4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: drr yeah - & I presume the Radius & Width as well.
	♥ 4:03pm spodiodi: ahoy, Frank!
	♥ 4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 🔥 SAINTS 🔥
	4:05pm clarke: it always baffles me that there are records available to everyone in seconds that i would have killed for, growing up. but what baffles me more is that the kids don't listen to them!
	4:06pm P-90: @clarke: exactly
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm medson: All Hail The Saints !!!!
	4:07pm clarke: i saw Bailey stranded on his own - solo in ft. lauderdale - he was fantastic!!
	♥ 4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Several of the earliest definitive Punk releases struggled for some time against mainstream culture & industry in the mid1970s then to get out. Let alone some outcasts from Brisbaine Australia.
	4:09pm SeanG: SAINTS!!
	4:09pm Yod Crewsy: More Saints!!!
	4:10pm SeanG: hey medson, love yr show! that castanets song from Alejandro, haven't heard that in ages.
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm common: todd all. rock
	4:12pm SeanG: common. beersies.
	4:13pm Joe B: Ed Kuepper: The band was a full thing by 1974. Two and a half years later, this incredibly fashionable movement comes along, only an arsehole would have associated himself with that.
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm medson: Thanks Sean
	♥ 4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JoeB: Haha !
	♥ 4:14pm drr: how do you pronounce Kuepper?
	4:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @drr: "Cooper"
	♥ 4:15pm drr: thanks!
	♥ 4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Clash's debut LP not officially released in the USA til 1979. That was another world.
	🎸 ♥ 4:18pm Frank In Queens: Strange that this one didn't make the album.
	4:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: Pretty sure it was recorded a bit later.
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm The Spoony: This song was hard for me to track down pre-discogs.
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, wow so the joke version was recorded first?
	4:22pm Andres: Love this version!
	♥ 4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wasn't even exposed to Saints LPs after the blazing imperishable Debut - except as Singles trax played here & there infrequently. This is completely wrong.
	4:22pm Stuntz: Kickin’, mang.
	4:23pm clarke: Geaux Todd Geaux!!
	4:23pm dday: Hey Dennis..if you're still here..I bought that book about The Who at Union Catholic HS. 16 Chapters in..a good read. Thanks

	♥ 4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Such great Songs !
	♥ 4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who Produced them ??
	4:27pm SeanG: I wonder if there is a go-betweens / saints connection??
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm Frank In Queens: Eternally Yours is self-produced.
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm Joel: There is only 1 response to this song.. TURN IT UP !!!
	♥ 4:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah webz I guess say Self-Produced after the 1st more or less...
	♥ 4:30pm joe mulligan: one thing I love about WFMU is that the DJs pull through with completely different tributes. Loved efd's this week, and this one TOPT is doing too for Chris Bailey is ear-opening.
	♥ 4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ChrisBailey like VanMorrison's delinquint son...
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm The Spoony: I feel like the Prehistoric Sounds album if every bit as visionary as the (I’m) Stranded album.
	♥ 4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard no Saints doesn't seem Gold to me.
	♥ 4:36pm patrick321: Hey Todd and all. Really enjoyed the Saints tribute (despite being at the supermarket).
	♥ 4:36pm spodiodi: nice
	♥ 4:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: "Hey, it's that Luka chick!"
	4:39pm clarke: hey, to anyone's knowlege has a pitcher ever just said "coach take me out", without being injured or anything??
	4:41pm SeanG: I used to do that in little league Clarke, didn't like to be the center of attention
	4:42pm clarke: wow! i don't think i have ever heard of it.
	♥ 4:43pm patrick321: Went to visit my sister in far west village in 80s and ran into Lenny Kaye at the concierge desk saying he was there to visit “Vega” — I said hi to Lenny and asked, kind of surprised, because the place was a bit fancy, “Alan Vega lives in this building?” He laughed and said “No, the other one.”
	4:43pm Claire from Montclair: Her voice is so beautiful!
	4:44pm SeanG: "you and me Carson McCullers". lyric from Westerberg solo song "Dice Behind yr Shades"
	4:46pm nardo: I was working at a record store in the mid 80's and can vividly remember her first couple records being heavily played in the store.
	♥ 4:47pm B R M: Shout out to my dear friend Mike Tully for directing the new Suzanne Vega movie! I really liked it! ❤️

	🎸 ♥ 5:02pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, the light will be crap by then, so I'll be listening to it all stealth-like.
	5:02pm clarke: hey if anyone wants ONE free ticket to Guided By Voices in chapel hill on april 29th, i don't think i am gonna make that show.
	🎸 ♥ 5:03pm medson: Killer Show TOPT, heading out soon to check out the action at the mini golf action in town
	🎸 ♥ 5:04pm medson: Not sure why I said action twice. but you know what I mean
	5:04pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @medson: Oh man, we have to play together soon.
	♥ 5:06pm Franco Twinkie: By any chance is that little Todd at Easter Brunch?
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm medson: Yes and I want to call ya tomorrow. Need to ask ya a few things
	♥ 5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always felt somehow like TomThumb's was a sort of transitional tune for Dylan - pivoting from his unbelievable all-time peak to a sort of weariness - a change of intoxicants one feels? Not to denigrate it by any means. Country Style from there...
	♥ 5:13pm chresti: Hi Todd-O-Phonics! I like the Easter hats the ladies are wearing in the playlist pic.
	♥ 5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho still only mid1965...

	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm Frank In Queens: My god, this song is pure poetry.
	♥ 5:14pm Brian D: Great show. Great interview with Suzanne Vega. Still love Carson McCullers. Thanks Todd.
	♥ 5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe not really, Blonde On Blonde still ahead. Illusion of knowing it from Greatest Hits I guess. Anyhow...
	5:16pm clarke: splendid, sir.
	♥ 5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...otoh, maybe Blonde On Blonde is about Handfuls of Rain ...cetera.
	5:19pm Van Winkle: Once...might be eee-nuff on that Wheeler Walker Jr. track ...but I definitely got a kick out of it. That's the bee-U-T of the genre...
	♥ 5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - also, Blonde On Blonde was Nashville ...sorry...
	5:23pm tom tom the pipers son: this dale hollow has a groovy groove to it...
