	11:23am clarke: i think we're back on track.
	11:25am Bob: Boy, this sounds good. I confess I’ve stopped tuning in to Al somewhat. Those Headliners records are just lousy to my ears.
	♥ 11:26am joe mulligan: good lookin Chille Relleno there Michael Shelley
	11:26am clarke: i haven't listened to the Headliners, either, Bob.
	11:27am clarke: or, i mean you have listened. i was kind-of afraid to listen.
	11:28am Peter Horvath: Ahoy listeners, ahoy Michael. Joining you from the laundromat.
	11:28am Dennis Diken: Hey Mikey & gang! gotta be jumpin’ in & out today. Have a ball!
	11:28am clarke: saw The Bluebells at tipatina's - brilliant mate.
	11:28am Bob: I did. It’s really forced, cheesy and mediocre to me
	♥ 11:28am Squints: I loved this number back in the day. Absolutely Number One.
	♥ 11:29am Adammets: I want to thank everyone who gave me suggestions for my recent trip to Spain - we had a great time and would have missed some wonderful things if it weren't for you - thank you #1 Listeners.
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yes we need a Scale Indicator on the food shots I'm thinkin' ...I guess that's a little baked tomatillo it's partnerin' w/ there...
	♥ 11:29am Eddy in Australia: The Bluebells! Supposed to have been a Postcard band but the label folded before they could release anything. Hi all!
	11:30am SWK: I like this song
	♥ 11:30am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Yankees rained out again today. What's going on in NYC? Bright, warm and sunny here--finally!
	11:30am clarke: EDDY goddamit hello mate!!
	♥ 11:31am Squints: This is NOT a callback to Maggie May. but I always think of it like that.
	11:31am clarke: what did the sleep clinic tellya??
	♥ 11:31am Frank In Queens: Geoffrey, it's a total wash out here this weekend.
	♥ 11:31am Listener Baby: I owned this when it came out. Great song, but album cuts are excellent too.
	♥ 11:31am McGroovey: Cath: yeah, I half-remember that, too
	11:32am clarke: hmm... i only thought there was a Bluebells EP? no album??
	11:32am wenzo toad (it/it’s): You’re such a foodie MS! Always impressed by your menus/culinary experiments!
	♥ 11:32am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Frank, I hope it doesn't move its way north. I've finally started biking to work again, about a month behind schedule, and I'd like it to stay that way.
	♥ 11:33am Eddy in Australia: Howdy Clarke! It'll take a few weeks to get a report. In the middle of a job tonight so I'll be a-lurking during the show. Unless Michael spins some You Am I and then I'll come running to comment
	♥ 11:33am Squints: I don't like the echoic snare when it's think sounding like on a lot of 1980s records. But whatever one thinks of the merits of BitUSA, I have to say that's a gorgeous SOUNDing record precisely because it went big. Nothing thin about it at all.
	♥ 11:33am Listener Baby: They complied the singles.and the EP together. I think that’s what I have. Just know I own a platter from that era.
	11:33am Moammar: Delbert McClinton should be a Unesco site.
	♥ 11:34am Eddy in Australia: Bluebells had at least one album, maybe more. Several big hits in England, like Young at Heart. Possibly a No. 1 even
	♥ 11:34am Frank In Queens: Reesees's Peecees, boff!
	11:34am clarke: @Eddy - right-o mate, glad to see you, but i know it means you are not sleeping! g'day!!
	11:35am clarke: i just had that Bluebells EP (5 songs)
	11:35am Bob: Is Max Weinberg anyones idea of a great drummer anyway?
	11:35am clarke: i AM the Fox
	11:36am clarke: the film is totally an italian nightmare of editing, etc.
	♥ 11:36am Adammets: A good twitter follow is Super70sSports - more 70s than Sports
	11:37am clarke: could have possibly been better if editing was better, but who knows??
	11:37am Toothgrinder Tom: It looks like a good movie - I wasn’t able to rent it without signing up for a whole other channel on my streaming service, which I refuse to do.
	♥ 11:37am Squints: Max is the guy you want when you need that particular thing done. But I liked Vini better. (Counter-case: Max's work on the studio version of "Be True" (b-side to "Fade Away") is great.)
	11:37am clarke: i wouldn't waste my time, tom - you are hearing the best part of the movie.
	11:38am Hungry Freaks: Bagels and Lox after the fox!
	♥ 11:38am Listener Baby: @Clarke. LP is called Sisters.
	♥ 11:38am Hughie Considine: Fun cover of "After the Fox" by Losers Lounge on the Hollies tribute "Sing Hollies in Reverse."
	11:38am Young Wayne: Good Morning DJ Michael Shelley. Folks that are used to eating their homemade food rediscover how cardboard / artificial everything processed tastes. Nice work on the chili rellenos. Make them myself?! Hell, I can't even spell it
	11:38am clarke: wow, will seek, Baby. BABY!!!!
	♥ 11:39am drr: Just tuned in. Having a chile relleno, as it happens.
	♥ 11:39am Listener Baby: www.allmusic.com...
	11:39am clarke: GOOD morning Hugh!! Dave!!
	♥ 11:39am Kotzwinkled: Just saw Charley Crockett and Vincent Neal Emerson opened for him. Highly recommend his album "Fried Chicken and Evil Women." I mean c'mon! What a title.
	11:39am Toothgrinder Tom: @clarke I would give it a try just because I’m a Peter Sellars completist, but yeah I’m aware I’m probably not missing out on anything life-changing. But also - Britt Eckland!
	11:40am Mike Sin: Enjoying the show! Sweating to the #1 hits at the gym.
	♥ 11:40am Squints: I'd watch a bad movie just to see Britt Ekland changing.
	♥ 11:40am Handy Haversack: Omelet secured!
	11:40am clarke: this might be the worst sellers movie. i would rather watch a larry sellars movie.
	♥ 11:40am drr: morning clarke

	♥ 11:41am Hughie Considine: Hey ho, Clarke!
	♥ 11:42am Squints: Kotz, is that FC&EW record Charley or Vince? I sense a new hunting expedition in store.
	11:42am SecretSquirrel: Saw “After the Fox” with my parents when it first came to theaters. Loved that theme, being a Hollies (and Peter Sellers) fan. The movie itself was a caper flick, kind of like an Inspector Clouseau film, except with Sellers as the criminal. Especially dig the unexpected modulations in that song.
	11:42am clarke: howzit in NC??
	♥ 11:42am Kotzwinkled: @Squints that's Vince. It's so good.
	♥ 11:43am Handy Haversack: You know it, clarke! And onion, spinach, parm, and mozz!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In all deference to the incomparable & complicated Mr.Sellars - if being married to Britt Ekland doesn't give you a hear attack - you're probly doing it wrong...
	11:43am clarke: spiffy, HH!!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *hearT
	11:44am clarke: i'm'a havin' a Hear Attack rite nah!!!
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...with the sound down on the dinosaurs, Im only seeing it - but it works for me...
	11:46am clarke: i don't think this film will make you think any better of Miss Eklund either.
	♥ 11:46am Squints: "They're dinosaurs. Well-known dinosaurs. We turn the sound down and say rude things."
	♥ 11:47am Handy Haversack: In case it hasn't been posted this show, the Go Fund Me for DJ Bryce is here. He was in an accident, no insurance, our system sucks, please help if you can: www.gofundme.com...
	♥ 11:47am Hughie Considine: Today's looking good, @Clarke. We're gearing up for our Kentucky Derby party. My son's been a huge racing fan since he was in short pants, so we make something of it every year now. And it's been two years since we've been able to have people over, so that'll be a huge plus -- won't have to drink all the mint juleps myself.
	11:48am clarke: do you have a front-runner for the winner?
	♥ 11:48am luka: “the one” is right
	♥ 11:48am Geoffrey in Ottawa: My ten-year-old son just tested positive for covid. Ugh. So much for our Kentucky Derby party.
	11:48am egould: The number one of number one hits.
	♥ 11:49am Kotzwinkled: @Hughie what ponies you like? Only name that really draws my eye is Tawny Port, but them odds ain't good.
	♥ 11:49am Squints: I've been switched on to so much good stuff via this show. JD McPherson, John Paul Keith, the Catcus Blossoms, Nuevo, Isaak Opatz (and, hey now, The Lemon Twigs). So if someone here says go check out, oh, Vince Neal Emerson. well, that's what I'ma do. Plus, there's NO songs about Fried Chicken and ANYthing that aren't great.
	11:50am clarke: i liked the look of CyberKnife - but horrible name
	11:50am Toothgrinder Tom: Today’s the Kentucky Derby? Man, I’ll have to put on an outrageous hat then.
	♥ 11:50am Kotzwinkled: @Squints Vince Neal also has a song about being "higher than a fly on Willie Nelson's wall."
	11:50am clarke: Twigs are GO, Squints!! GGY!!
	11:51am Bob: Anybody up for talking about how epic Better Call Saul is at the moment? Or what a piece of crap Ozark was? Never mind.
	11:51am Hungry Freaks: @kotzwinkled Yah stay away from the ones named for alcohol. Is there one named for meth?
	♥ 11:51am drr: The video for "The One" is really funny, by the way.
	♥ 11:52am Squints: The "Vince Neal" aspect of his name just made me chuckle. Feel the noise, y'all.
	11:52am clarke: i think this season of Saul is really going GREAT, but no spoilers for the kidz. i also liked Ozark.
	11:52am Robm: @Geoffrey that sucks hope he gets better quickly
	11:52am Andres: Hello! #1+. I need a copy of the grading guide.
	♥ 11:52am Kotzwinkled: I saw the Lemon Twigs open for Diane Coffee at Babys All Right and witnessed them turn in their drink tickets for other credit cause they were too young to drink. Made me feel old as hell.
	♥ 11:53am Hughie Considine: @Kotzwinkled, my son says Epicenter to win but Barber Road for a long shot at 46-1. Has finished third or better this year and likes a sloppy track.
	♥ 11:53am Eddy in Australia: A few weeks ago someone on this here board suggested Epicenter in the Derby. And Happy Jack is a kinda No. 1 name for a horse
	11:53am clarke: they's old enough now!!
	♥ 11:53am Hughie Considine: PS, @Kotzwinkled, "The Fan Man" was unforgettable.
	♥ 11:54am Kotzwinkled: @Hughie very nice. I'm logging in to TwinSpires account for first time since Thanksgiving to lose some money haha
	♥ 11:54am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Great looking rellenos! Labor intensive, but there is a payoff.
	♥ 11:54am Squints: When Happy Jack wins we can say "**I** saw yer!"
	11:54am clarke: has it rained in Louisville, Hugh??
	♥ 11:54am Kotzwinkled: @Hughie hell yes. I sometimes call Fan Man the Confederacy of Dunces of NYC. Doesn't quite fit, but both books make me laugh out loud equally.
	♥ 11:55am Squints: Like, ever, clarke? Or lately?
	♥ 11:55am luka: it’s a muffin, michael. what could it cost.
	11:55am Jeff formerly from Rahway: I’m sure in Montclair & Glen Ridge, muffins start at $6. Maybe the day-old muffins are $3.
	11:55am clarke: ever?
	♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: I miss following racing. We used to go to Belmont for at least KY Derby day and my birthday every year. But I can't do it anymore. Like water polo, it's just too cruel to the horses.
	♥ 11:56am Hughie Considine: Great comparison @Kotz. And luck be a lady ... later today.
	11:57am Young Wayne: We can complain about prices now because it's the good ole days, your grandchild may complain a muffin can't be had at any price :(
	♥ 11:57am Hubig Pie: $5 = a hlaf pack o' Lucky Strikes and a six pack o' Miller

	11:58am Bob: I’ll take a good bagel any day. Never seen one anywhere near dollars either
	♥ 11:58am Listener Baby: My version of this is based on Tito’s Tacos in LA. 12 of their tacos will now cost you around $75. I used to buy them for $.60 each. Yes, Baby. The value, or lack there of, of money.
	11:58am Bob: Six that is
	♥ 11:58am Handy Haversack: OK, chore time. Keeping the volume cranked.
	♥ 11:58am Hubig Pie: 'sup, clarke

	11:59am clarke: Tito's - quality stuff.
	♥ 12:00pm luka: big ups to Bryce.

	♥ 12:02pm luka: oh, this is tasty.
	12:02pm Old Wayne: I realize it not Bryce's decision, but I'm not doing Go Fraud Me. I'll send a personal check or even Paypal. I am sorry to hear of his injuries, BTW is the bike recoverable?
	12:02pm gonedungIT: Hope for all to heal
	12:03pm gonedungIT: Wear helmets people
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gawdmmit this is why I'm the one supposed to win the BigLottery. I'll make the World better. I hate just seeing suffering & worry - & money's that thing I ain't got. So glad that Bryce is still with us.
	12:05pm Old Wayne: Bell helmet moto from the day, "If you have a ten dollar head wear a ten dollar helmet. ... that is when you could still buy a motorcycle helmet for $10.

	12:06pm Toothgrinder Tom: Muffins aren’t good for you anyway, they’re full of hydrogenated oils?
	♥ 12:07pm Squints: I like the Morse Code-y guitar during the verse.
	12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If I were a Senator - I'd just play this on a boombox @ Republican nominee SCOTUS hearings...
	12:07pm clarke: i'm still The Fox!!!
	♥ 12:08pm Hughie Considine: The Munsters episode where Grandpa torches Herman's pop music career by means of a Nuthin' muffin is one of the best.
	12:09pm clarke: agreed, Hughie!!
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hydrogenated Oils ...more filling! ...Forever !
	12:09pm clarke: for some reason, i put the one with Leo Durocher ahead of that episode, tho.
	♥ 12:11pm Hughie Considine: Hard to choose -- the Standells episode is a fave, as is Eddie becoming a hip saxophonist. I always wanted more Eddie.
	12:11pm clarke: on second thought, you are right - the lingo in the music one pushes it out front - coming down the stretch!!!
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Overdrive that little amp man !! ...Don't listen to those fuddy old never-has-beens...
	12:12pm clarke: "hey those cool guys are the standells, dad!"
	♥ 12:12pm Hughie Considine: haha! Oh, of course, the Zombo the Clown episode was classic Eddie.
	♥ 12:12pm Michael Shelley: The new calorie signage is the muffin's worst enemy
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The future of America is secure in the hands of fine young men like TheStandells!' - yukyuk...
	12:13pm clarke: the muffin's worst enemy: bagels.
	12:14pm jmd: Ella, the finest of fine voices!

	12:17pm clarke: more Eddy!!
	♥ 12:17pm luka: HOW LOOOOOONG
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wanna hear more NiteSobs now.
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Music just hasn't been the same since BuddyHolly died.
	♥ 12:20pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: There was an article in the Ny Times the other day about a Connecticut company selling bagels in NYC for 38 bucks a dozen.
	12:20pm clarke: those mother...
	12:23pm clarke: those guys are NOT The Standells!!
	12:23pm egould: I wanna live in the timeline where Buddy Holly kept making hit records into the mid-1980’s.
	12:24pm clarke: and got that 80's snare sound!!
	♥ 12:24pm Michael Shelley: Buddy would be working with T Bone Burnette
	♥ 12:24pm Greg from ZONE 5: I'm sufficiently prepared to sit inside listening to the radio all day.
	♥ 12:25pm Hubig Pie: In my neighborhood the predominant color is currently brown.
	12:25pm clarke: thought you were referring to Buddy Miller, for a sec.
	♥ 12:26pm drr: Buddy Holly would have embraced the label "new wave".
	12:26pm clarke: brown in the Black Hills?
	♥ 12:26pm drr: Probably would have taken credit for it.
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' I shor do like your Beetles ! ...course after 20 years I ain't got much choice '...
	♥ 12:27pm Listener Baby: Can you imagine Jim Morrison alive today? What would that be like?Though we all know he would have found a way to kill himself.
	♥ 12:28pm Frank In Queens: 6/10
	12:28pm egould: Nice bong feet
	12:28pm clarke: MovieTime, Frank????
	♥ 12:28pm Squints: I think bong feet would be, um, slower.
	♥ 12:29pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Greg I'm with you, but I think I'll sit at my picnic table once it warms up a little more.
	♥ 12:29pm Hubig Pie: Spring comes slowly here, clarke. We had two feet of snow 2 weeks ago. Snow squalls last weekend. Bits of green are peaking out from the ground. Trees won't leaf out till June.
	♥ 12:29pm Listener Baby: Baby. Scale of 1 to 10, Super Hits ever coming back?
	♥ 12:29pm drr: I'm picturing a collab with Jim Morrison and Red Hot Chili Peppers for some reason, probably a bad one.
	♥ 12:30pm Frank In Queens: The shorter cut of Killing Of A Chinese Bookie (which wasn't as good as the original longer cut) and Famous: The Buzzy Linhart Story. Otherwise, it's just been Better Call Saul and Mrs. Maisel.
	♥ 12:30pm drr: ...or doing an album of poems with X as the backing band.
	♥ 12:30pm Frank In Queens: And sportz

	♥ 12:31pm Greg from ZONE 5: A few weeks ago I decided to listen to Lou Reed's entire discography from beginning to end since there are so many albums I've never heard. I wish there was more stuff like "Disco Mystic", tbh.
	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jimbo? Either a novelist ~ filmmaker ...or actually pull a full-on Rimabud & disappear... But, no, for sure Dead. PattiSmith is a Shaman Poet & also reuses nappies...
	♥ 12:32pm Frank In Queens: I am as well. Not sure if I'm going to be able to see the next 2 episodes on time due to travels.
	12:33pm clarke: that's why we won't spoil!! when u take off?

	12:35pm Larry 7: Harlem shuffle.
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jimi? Man. Jimi & Prog, Metal, Fusion, Reggae, World - he was already Producing the LastPoets you know... Fact it the Landscape would've been different with him.
	12:35pm Vpfavale: It was definitely "Harlem shuffle" but love that it led to this version of "go go"
	♥ 12:35pm prof.fuzz: @Bob: The judges would have also accepted "When a door is ajar."
	♥ 12:35pm Handy Haversack: Anent the Stern prank, read Three Christs of Ypsilanti some time. Like Howard Stern but with psychiatrists.
	♥ 12:35pm Frank In Queens: But, I love this version of Go-Go, so it worked out in the end!
	♥ 12:36pm Handy Haversack: Frank, I picked up Violent River yesterday. Do you know if the name came from our own local violent river?
	♥ 12:37pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, thanks! I honestly don't know where the name came from and my dad doesn't remember either. I know they had a few different names before they settled on Violent River.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I haz typomania dammit...
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Maybe before the EPA when the Cuyahoga River literally caught fire...
	♥ 12:39pm Handy Haversack: Well, you can let him know that name makes sense locally, especially under Hell Gate Bridge and by the Navy Yard!
	♥ 12:39pm Frank Zaatar: My favorite line from that song: "It doesn't matter if you go stag/ it doesn't matter if you go drag." This in the 60s.
	12:40pm paul: Where's the Golden Boys version?
	12:40pm clarke: speaking of, Handy - when you pulling out the canoes??
	♥ 12:40pm Handy Haversack: Now play the Neil Rolnick version for Bryce!
	12:40pm clarke: (this is not an epithet, ya'll)
	♥ 12:41pm Handy Haversack: clarke, I have gone out once. Water temp at the Battery still only ~52F, so we are waiting for it to hit 60 before full programming. Planning on the first public event for 6/4! Also Juneteenth!
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good it swings harder but you reckon Johnny really cares what them bougie parents think?
	♥ 12:41pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, yeah I guess it could be a local reference. But Corona isn't exactly close proximity to either Hellgate or the Navy Yard, so?
	♥ 12:44pm drr: clarke: recently saw a super movie from 1943--Preston Sturges' The Miracle Of Morgan's Creek.
	12:44pm clarke: godspeed, sir!! damn the torpedos!!

	12:49pm RK: Re: the Association--wow this band ripped off Stereolab hard
	12:49pm Hungry Freaks: So who is playing the backing track on this? I'm assuming they didn't indulge The Association even if those guys can play.
	♥ 12:49pm Listener Baby: Joe Osborne does!
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You're right - the time has come... : Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely Someone calls on me And every now and then I spend my time at rhyme and verse And curse those faults in me And then along comes Mary And does she want to give me kicks, and be my steady chick And give me pick of memories Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails and tribulations No one ever sees When we met I was sure out to lunch Now, my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch (...) When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks Whose sickness is the games they play And when the masquerade is played the neighbor folks make jokes At who is most to blame today And then along comes Mary And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality From where she got her name And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch of hers Will make them not the same When we met I was sure out to lunch Now, my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed And flaccid kids are flung across the stars The psychodramas and the traumas gone The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars And then along comes Mary And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains She left the night before Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them Realize their urgent cry for sight no more When we met I was sure out to lunch Now, my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch Sweet as the punch Sweet as the punch Sweet as the punch Sweet as the punch Written by: Tandyn Almer
	12:50pm clarke: The Association could DEFINITELY play - but, this is why they were so upset that studio musicians continued to be used in their stead, they deteriorated as a band.
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Almost happened to Love. Or, it did.

	♥ 12:55pm Handy Haversack: For anyone who wants to support Bryce but for whatever personal reason does not want to use the platform to do so, I guarantee that a personal check made out to WFMU ("For Bryce" in the memo!) and mailed to WFMU, 43 Montgomery St., Jersey City, NJ 07302, will get to the right place.

	♥ 12:55pm Frank Zaatar: Michael, you can play this every week.
	♥ 12:55pm drr: clarke: I'm glad I watched it cause the image Kanopy had for it made it look really dumb and not good. Loved the scene where the dad cleans his guns on the porch, and of course the bit in the jail.
	12:56pm clarke: William Demarest - champion of the world!!
	12:57pm P-90: Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm jmd: Heck yes!

	12:58pm clarke: speaking of cake....
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...gettin' chiltons all over...
	12:59pm clarke: Eddy - you ARE cake!!!
	♥ 12:59pm Eddy in Australia: hey handy!

	11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just saw a trailer for the new film about Elvis by Baz...
	11:10am Moammar: This is perky, but the Johnny Cash version is a little more convincing.
	♥ 11:11am Frank In Queens: @clarke, no they're not, which means I'll have just a passing interest. Probably a lot of dual screen action until later when we just stick a movie on.
	11:11am clarke: they tore down the building where Lee Dorsey's garage was on tchoupetulias street, and built a modern monstrosity in its place - no plaque, nothin'. shucks.
	11:13am clarke: dual-screening YES. movies - yes, getting to that...

	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jurrasic *Fight Club
	11:21am clarke: Right!
	♥ 11:23am Frank In Queens: clarke, haven't checked it out yet.
	11:23am clarke: i think we're back on track.
	11:25am Bob: Boy, this sounds good. I confess I’ve stopped tuning in to Al somewhat. Those Headliners records are just lousy to my ears.
	♥ 11:26am joe mulligan: good lookin Chille Relleno there Michael Shelley
	11:26am clarke: i haven't listened to the Headliners, either, Bob.
	11:27am clarke: or, i mean you have listened. i was kind-of afraid to listen.
	11:28am Peter Horvath: Ahoy listeners, ahoy Michael. Joining you from the laundromat.
	11:28am Dennis Diken: Hey Mikey & gang! gotta be jumpin’ in & out today. Have a ball!
	11:28am clarke: saw The Bluebells at tipatina's - brilliant mate.
	11:28am Bob: I did. It’s really forced, cheesy and mediocre to me
	♥ 11:28am Squints: I loved this number back in the day. Absolutely Number One.
	♥ 11:29am Adammets: I want to thank everyone who gave me suggestions for my recent trip to Spain - we had a great time and would have missed some wonderful things if it weren't for you - thank you #1 Listeners.
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yes we need a Scale Indicator on the food shots I'm thinkin' ...I guess that's a little baked tomatillo it's partnerin' w/ there...
	♥ 11:29am Eddy in Australia: The Bluebells! Supposed to have been a Postcard band but the label folded before they could release anything. Hi all!
	11:30am SWK: I like this song
	♥ 11:30am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Yankees rained out again today. What's going on in NYC? Bright, warm and sunny here--finally!
	11:30am clarke: EDDY goddamit hello mate!!
	♥ 11:31am Squints: This is NOT a callback to Maggie May. but I always think of it like that.
	11:31am clarke: what did the sleep clinic tellya??
	♥ 11:31am Frank In Queens: Geoffrey, it's a total wash out here this weekend.
	♥ 11:31am Listener Baby: I owned this when it came out. Great song, but album cuts are excellent too.
	♥ 11:31am McGroovey: Cath: yeah, I half-remember that, too
	11:32am clarke: hmm... i only thought there was a Bluebells EP? no album??
	11:32am wenzo toad (it/it’s): You’re such a foodie MS! Always impressed by your menus/culinary experiments!
	♥ 11:32am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Frank, I hope it doesn't move its way north. I've finally started biking to work again, about a month behind schedule, and I'd like it to stay that way.
	♥ 11:33am Eddy in Australia: Howdy Clarke! It'll take a few weeks to get a report. In the middle of a job tonight so I'll be a-lurking during the show. Unless Michael spins some You Am I and then I'll come running to comment
	♥ 11:33am Squints: I don't like the echoic snare when it's think sounding like on a lot of 1980s records. But whatever one thinks of the merits of BitUSA, I have to say that's a gorgeous SOUNDing record precisely because it went big. Nothing thin about it at all.
	♥ 11:33am Listener Baby: They complied the singles.and the EP together. I think that’s what I have. Just know I own a platter from that era.
	11:33am Moammar: Delbert McClinton should be a Unesco site.
	♥ 11:34am Eddy in Australia: Bluebells had at least one album, maybe more. Several big hits in England, like Young at Heart. Possibly a No. 1 even
	♥ 11:34am Frank In Queens: Reesees's Peecees, boff!
	11:34am clarke: @Eddy - right-o mate, glad to see you, but i know it means you are not sleeping! g'day!!
	11:35am clarke: i just had that Bluebells EP (5 songs)
	11:35am Bob: Is Max Weinberg anyones idea of a great drummer anyway?
	11:35am clarke: i AM the Fox
	11:36am clarke: the film is totally an italian nightmare of editing, etc.
	♥ 11:36am Adammets: A good twitter follow is Super70sSports - more 70s than Sports
	11:37am clarke: could have possibly been better if editing was better, but who knows??
	11:37am Toothgrinder Tom: It looks like a good movie - I wasn’t able to rent it without signing up for a whole other channel on my streaming service, which I refuse to do.
	♥ 11:37am Squints: Max is the guy you want when you need that particular thing done. But I liked Vini better. (Counter-case: Max's work on the studio version of "Be True" (b-side to "Fade Away") is great.)
	11:37am clarke: i wouldn't waste my time, tom - you are hearing the best part of the movie.
	11:38am Hungry Freaks: Bagels and Lox after the fox!
	♥ 11:38am Listener Baby: @Clarke. LP is called Sisters.
	♥ 11:38am Hughie Considine: Fun cover of "After the Fox" by Losers Lounge on the Hollies tribute "Sing Hollies in Reverse."
	11:38am Young Wayne: Good Morning DJ Michael Shelley. Folks that are used to eating their homemade food rediscover how cardboard / artificial everything processed tastes. Nice work on the chili rellenos. Make them myself?! Hell, I can't even spell it
	11:38am clarke: wow, will seek, Baby. BABY!!!!
	♥ 11:39am drr: Just tuned in. Having a chile relleno, as it happens.
	♥ 11:39am Listener Baby: www.allmusic.com...
	11:39am clarke: GOOD morning Hugh!! Dave!!
	♥ 11:39am Kotzwinkled: Just saw Charley Crockett and Vincent Neal Emerson opened for him. Highly recommend his album "Fried Chicken and Evil Women." I mean c'mon! What a title.
	11:39am Toothgrinder Tom: @clarke I would give it a try just because I’m a Peter Sellars completist, but yeah I’m aware I’m probably not missing out on anything life-changing. But also - Britt Eckland!
	11:40am Mike Sin: Enjoying the show! Sweating to the #1 hits at the gym.
	♥ 11:40am Squints: I'd watch a bad movie just to see Britt Ekland changing.
	♥ 11:40am Handy Haversack: Omelet secured!
	11:40am clarke: this might be the worst sellers movie. i would rather watch a larry sellars movie.
	♥ 11:40am drr: morning clarke
	11:40am clarke: jalapenos, Handy??
	11:41am Robm: Hello fellow listeners LETS ROCK
	11:41am clarke: uncanny dave - your breakfast cherce
	♥ 11:41am Hughie Considine: Hey ho, Clarke!
	♥ 11:42am Squints: Kotz, is that FC&EW record Charley or Vince? I sense a new hunting expedition in store.
	11:42am SecretSquirrel: Saw “After the Fox” with my parents when it first came to theaters. Loved that theme, being a Hollies (and Peter Sellers) fan. The movie itself was a caper flick, kind of like an Inspector Clouseau film, except with Sellers as the criminal. Especially dig the unexpected modulations in that song.
	11:42am clarke: howzit in NC??
	♥ 11:42am Kotzwinkled: @Squints that's Vince. It's so good.
	♥ 11:43am Handy Haversack: You know it, clarke! And onion, spinach, parm, and mozz!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In all deference to the incomparable & complicated Mr.Sellars - if being married to Britt Ekland doesn't give you a hear attack - you're probly doing it wrong...
	11:43am clarke: spiffy, HH!!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *hearT
	11:44am clarke: i'm'a havin' a Hear Attack rite nah!!!
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...with the sound down on the dinosaurs, Im only seeing it - but it works for me...
	11:46am clarke: i don't think this film will make you think any better of Miss Eklund either.
	♥ 11:46am Squints: "They're dinosaurs. Well-known dinosaurs. We turn the sound down and say rude things."
	♥ 11:47am Handy Haversack: In case it hasn't been posted this show, the Go Fund Me for DJ Bryce is here. He was in an accident, no insurance, our system sucks, please help if you can: www.gofundme.com...
	♥ 11:47am Hughie Considine: Today's looking good, @Clarke. We're gearing up for our Kentucky Derby party. My son's been a huge racing fan since he was in short pants, so we make something of it every year now. And it's been two years since we've been able to have people over, so that'll be a huge plus -- won't have to drink all the mint juleps myself.
	11:48am clarke: do you have a front-runner for the winner?
	♥ 11:48am luka: “the one” is right
	♥ 11:48am Geoffrey in Ottawa: My ten-year-old son just tested positive for covid. Ugh. So much for our Kentucky Derby party.
	11:48am egould: The number one of number one hits.
	♥ 11:49am Kotzwinkled: @Hughie what ponies you like? Only name that really draws my eye is Tawny Port, but them odds ain't good.
	♥ 11:49am Squints: I've been switched on to so much good stuff via this show. JD McPherson, John Paul Keith, the Catcus Blossoms, Nuevo, Isaak Opatz (and, hey now, The Lemon Twigs). So if someone here says go check out, oh, Vince Neal Emerson. well, that's what I'ma do. Plus, there's NO songs about Fried Chicken and ANYthing that aren't great.
	11:50am clarke: i liked the look of CyberKnife - but horrible name
	11:50am Toothgrinder Tom: Today’s the Kentucky Derby? Man, I’ll have to put on an outrageous hat then.
	♥ 11:50am Kotzwinkled: @Squints Vince Neal also has a song about being "higher than a fly on Willie Nelson's wall."
	11:50am clarke: Twigs are GO, Squints!! GGY!!
	11:51am Bob: Anybody up for talking about how epic Better Call Saul is at the moment? Or what a piece of crap Ozark was? Never mind.
	11:51am Hungry Freaks: @kotzwinkled Yah stay away from the ones named for alcohol. Is there one named for meth?
	♥ 11:51am drr: The video for "The One" is really funny, by the way.
	♥ 11:52am Squints: The "Vince Neal" aspect of his name just made me chuckle. Feel the noise, y'all.
	11:52am clarke: i think this season of Saul is really going GREAT, but no spoilers for the kidz. i also liked Ozark.
	11:52am Robm: @Geoffrey that sucks hope he gets better quickly
	11:52am Andres: Hello! #1+. I need a copy of the grading guide.
	♥ 11:52am Kotzwinkled: I saw the Lemon Twigs open for Diane Coffee at Babys All Right and witnessed them turn in their drink tickets for other credit cause they were too young to drink. Made me feel old as hell.
	♥ 11:53am Hughie Considine: @Kotzwinkled, my son says Epicenter to win but Barber Road for a long shot at 46-1. Has finished third or better this year and likes a sloppy track.
	♥ 11:53am Eddy in Australia: A few weeks ago someone on this here board suggested Epicenter in the Derby. And Happy Jack is a kinda No. 1 name for a horse
	11:53am clarke: they's old enough now!!
	♥ 11:53am Hughie Considine: PS, @Kotzwinkled, "The Fan Man" was unforgettable.
	♥ 11:54am Kotzwinkled: @Hughie very nice. I'm logging in to TwinSpires account for first time since Thanksgiving to lose some money haha
	♥ 11:54am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Great looking rellenos! Labor intensive, but there is a payoff.
	♥ 11:54am Squints: When Happy Jack wins we can say "**I** saw yer!"
	11:54am clarke: has it rained in Louisville, Hugh??
	♥ 11:54am Kotzwinkled: @Hughie hell yes. I sometimes call Fan Man the Confederacy of Dunces of NYC. Doesn't quite fit, but both books make me laugh out loud equally.
	♥ 11:55am Squints: Like, ever, clarke? Or lately?
	♥ 11:55am luka: it’s a muffin, michael. what could it cost.
	11:55am Jeff formerly from Rahway: I’m sure in Montclair & Glen Ridge, muffins start at $6. Maybe the day-old muffins are $3.
	11:55am clarke: ever?
	♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: I miss following racing. We used to go to Belmont for at least KY Derby day and my birthday every year. But I can't do it anymore. Like water polo, it's just too cruel to the horses.
	♥ 11:56am Hughie Considine: Great comparison @Kotz. And luck be a lady ... later today.
	11:57am Young Wayne: We can complain about prices now because it's the good ole days, your grandchild may complain a muffin can't be had at any price :(
	♥ 11:57am Hubig Pie: $5 = a hlaf pack o' Lucky Strikes and a six pack o' Miller
	11:57am clarke: i'm sticking with Cyberknife, if sloppy track.
	11:57am clarke: hubig whereyat??
	♥ 11:58am Hubig Pie: half
	♥ 11:58am luka: hot time. summer in the city. somethin somethin somethin g. gordon liddy.
	11:58am Bob: I’ll take a good bagel any day. Never seen one anywhere near dollars either
	♥ 11:58am Listener Baby: My version of this is based on Tito’s Tacos in LA. 12 of their tacos will now cost you around $75. I used to buy them for $.60 each. Yes, Baby. The value, or lack there of, of money.
	11:58am Bob: Six that is
	♥ 11:58am Handy Haversack: OK, chore time. Keeping the volume cranked.
	♥ 11:58am Hubig Pie: 'sup, clarke
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tho Muffins became large enuff to need their own zipcode also.
	11:59am clarke: Tito's - quality stuff.
	♥ 12:00pm luka: big ups to Bryce.
	12:00pm Old Wayne: I didn't realize there is already a "Young Wayne" so now I'm Old Wayne. That's right Rev, I remember when the muffins 'blew up' to softball size in the '90's
	♥ 12:00pm Michael Shelley: INFO ON HOW TO HELP BRYCE: gofund.me...
	♥ 12:00pm Listener Baby: Just stopped there Clarke. Just fantastic. But wow, $$$.
	12:01pm clarke: that's disheartening.
	♥ 12:01pm luka: Bryce’s raga shows during the pandemic were A Big Mood.
	♥ 12:02pm luka: oh, this is tasty.
	12:02pm Old Wayne: I realize it not Bryce's decision, but I'm not doing Go Fraud Me. I'll send a personal check or even Paypal. I am sorry to hear of his injuries, BTW is the bike recoverable?
	12:02pm gonedungIT: Hope for all to heal
	12:03pm gonedungIT: Wear helmets people
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gawdmmit this is why I'm the one supposed to win the BigLottery. I'll make the World better. I hate just seeing suffering & worry - & money's that thing I ain't got. So glad that Bryce is still with us.
	12:05pm Old Wayne: Bell helmet moto from the day, "If you have a ten dollar head wear a ten dollar helmet. ... that is when you could still buy a motorcycle helmet for $10.
	♥ 12:05pm Squints: Foolish woman!
	♥ 12:06pm Hubig Pie: Avoid the drool bucket Wear a brain bucket
	12:06pm Toothgrinder Tom: Muffins aren’t good for you anyway, they’re full of hydrogenated oils?
	♥ 12:07pm Squints: I like the Morse Code-y guitar during the verse.
	12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If I were a Senator - I'd just play this on a boombox @ Republican nominee SCOTUS hearings...
	12:07pm clarke: i'm still The Fox!!!
	♥ 12:08pm Hughie Considine: The Munsters episode where Grandpa torches Herman's pop music career by means of a Nuthin' muffin is one of the best.
	12:09pm clarke: agreed, Hughie!!
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hydrogenated Oils ...more filling! ...Forever !
	12:09pm clarke: for some reason, i put the one with Leo Durocher ahead of that episode, tho.
	♥ 12:11pm Hughie Considine: Hard to choose -- the Standells episode is a fave, as is Eddie becoming a hip saxophonist. I always wanted more Eddie.
	12:11pm clarke: on second thought, you are right - the lingo in the music one pushes it out front - coming down the stretch!!!
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Overdrive that little amp man !! ...Don't listen to those fuddy old never-has-beens...
	12:12pm clarke: "hey those cool guys are the standells, dad!"
	♥ 12:12pm Hughie Considine: haha! Oh, of course, the Zombo the Clown episode was classic Eddie.
	♥ 12:12pm Michael Shelley: The new calorie signage is the muffin's worst enemy
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The future of America is secure in the hands of fine young men like TheStandells!' - yukyuk...
	12:13pm clarke: the muffin's worst enemy: bagels.
	12:14pm jmd: Ella, the finest of fine voices!
	12:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love it when Ella's clearly enjoying herself. & when she burns down other improvisers...
	12:16pm clarke: fuzz: you know these blokes??
	♥ 12:16pm Eddy in Australia: More Eddie: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 12:16pm Hughie Considine: She did some pretty unexpected covers too. Sunshine of Your Love comes to mind.
	12:17pm clarke: more Eddy!!
	♥ 12:17pm luka: HOW LOOOOOONG
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wanna hear more NiteSobs now.
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Music just hasn't been the same since BuddyHolly died.
	♥ 12:20pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: There was an article in the Ny Times the other day about a Connecticut company selling bagels in NYC for 38 bucks a dozen.
	12:20pm clarke: those mother...
	12:23pm clarke: those guys are NOT The Standells!!
	12:23pm egould: I wanna live in the timeline where Buddy Holly kept making hit records into the mid-1980’s.
	12:24pm clarke: and got that 80's snare sound!!
	♥ 12:24pm Michael Shelley: Buddy would be working with T Bone Burnette
	♥ 12:24pm Greg from ZONE 5: I'm sufficiently prepared to sit inside listening to the radio all day.
	♥ 12:25pm Hubig Pie: In my neighborhood the predominant color is currently brown.
	12:25pm clarke: thought you were referring to Buddy Miller, for a sec.
	♥ 12:26pm drr: Buddy Holly would have embraced the label "new wave".
	12:26pm clarke: brown in the Black Hills?
	♥ 12:26pm drr: Probably would have taken credit for it.
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' I shor do like your Beetles ! ...course after 20 years I ain't got much choice '...
	♥ 12:27pm Listener Baby: Can you imagine Jim Morrison alive today? What would that be like?Though we all know he would have found a way to kill himself.
	♥ 12:28pm Frank In Queens: 6/10
	12:28pm egould: Nice bong feet
	12:28pm clarke: MovieTime, Frank????
	♥ 12:28pm Squints: I think bong feet would be, um, slower.
	♥ 12:29pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Greg I'm with you, but I think I'll sit at my picnic table once it warms up a little more.
	♥ 12:29pm Hubig Pie: Spring comes slowly here, clarke. We had two feet of snow 2 weeks ago. Snow squalls last weekend. Bits of green are peaking out from the ground. Trees won't leaf out till June.
	♥ 12:29pm Listener Baby: Baby. Scale of 1 to 10, Super Hits ever coming back?
	♥ 12:29pm drr: I'm picturing a collab with Jim Morrison and Red Hot Chili Peppers for some reason, probably a bad one.
	♥ 12:30pm Frank In Queens: The shorter cut of Killing Of A Chinese Bookie (which wasn't as good as the original longer cut) and Famous: The Buzzy Linhart Story. Otherwise, it's just been Better Call Saul and Mrs. Maisel.
	♥ 12:30pm drr: ...or doing an album of poems with X as the backing band.
	♥ 12:30pm Frank In Queens: And sportz
	12:31pm clarke: i continued my foray into 1945 films that i had not seen: And Then There Were None, and China Sky with randolph scott
	♥ 12:31pm StuartR: Lou followed a Tom Robinson cover: all #1 hits
	12:31pm clarke: your opionion of Saul this season?? i am loving it!!
	♥ 12:31pm Greg from ZONE 5: A few weeks ago I decided to listen to Lou Reed's entire discography from beginning to end since there are so many albums I've never heard. I wish there was more stuff like "Disco Mystic", tbh.
	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jimbo? Either a novelist ~ filmmaker ...or actually pull a full-on Rimabud & disappear... But, no, for sure Dead. PattiSmith is a Shaman Poet & also reuses nappies...
	♥ 12:32pm Frank In Queens: I am as well. Not sure if I'm going to be able to see the next 2 episodes on time due to travels.
	12:33pm clarke: that's why we won't spoil!! when u take off?
	♥ 12:33pm Hubig Pie: Ep. 3 of BCS was a stunner.
	12:33pm egould: Jimi Hendrix lives and produces Prince’s 1999.
	♥ 12:33pm Frank In Queens: Harlem Shuffle, no?
	♥ 12:33pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: Nite Sobs? No. First time hearing or hearing of them.

	12:35pm Patster: Yes, Harlem Shuffle…
	12:35pm Larry 7: Harlem shuffle.
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jimi? Man. Jimi & Prog, Metal, Fusion, Reggae, World - he was already Producing the LastPoets you know... Fact it the Landscape would've been different with him.
	12:35pm Vpfavale: It was definitely "Harlem shuffle" but love that it led to this version of "go go"
	♥ 12:35pm prof.fuzz: @Bob: The judges would have also accepted "When a door is ajar."
	♥ 12:35pm Handy Haversack: Anent the Stern prank, read Three Christs of Ypsilanti some time. Like Howard Stern but with psychiatrists.
	♥ 12:35pm Frank In Queens: But, I love this version of Go-Go, so it worked out in the end!
	♥ 12:36pm Handy Haversack: Frank, I picked up Violent River yesterday. Do you know if the name came from our own local violent river?
	♥ 12:37pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, thanks! I honestly don't know where the name came from and my dad doesn't remember either. I know they had a few different names before they settled on Violent River.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I haz typomania dammit...
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Maybe before the EPA when the Cuyahoga River literally caught fire...
	♥ 12:39pm Handy Haversack: Well, you can let him know that name makes sense locally, especially under Hell Gate Bridge and by the Navy Yard!
	♥ 12:39pm Frank Zaatar: My favorite line from that song: "It doesn't matter if you go stag/ it doesn't matter if you go drag." This in the 60s.
	12:40pm paul: Where's the Golden Boys version?
	12:40pm clarke: speaking of, Handy - when you pulling out the canoes??
	♥ 12:40pm Handy Haversack: Now play the Neil Rolnick version for Bryce!
	12:40pm clarke: (this is not an epithet, ya'll)
	♥ 12:41pm Handy Haversack: clarke, I have gone out once. Water temp at the Battery still only ~52F, so we are waiting for it to hit 60 before full programming. Planning on the first public event for 6/4! Also Juneteenth!
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good it swings harder but you reckon Johnny really cares what them bougie parents think?
	♥ 12:41pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, yeah I guess it could be a local reference. But Corona isn't exactly close proximity to either Hellgate or the Navy Yard, so?
	♥ 12:44pm drr: clarke: recently saw a super movie from 1943--Preston Sturges' The Miracle Of Morgan's Creek.
	12:44pm clarke: godspeed, sir!! damn the torpedos!!
	12:44pm Andres: Still regretting missing a Calexico show in my ‘burg from a decade ago. I was out of town, but still.
	12:45pm clarke: Dave - thats one of my top 2o films!! it's so great
	♥ 12:45pm DJ Johnny Cool: Nuevo! So damn good.
	12:45pm clarke: some controversial topics in dat one.
	♥ 12:48pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Frank apologies if you know but stag or drag means alone or with a date
	12:49pm RK: Re: the Association--wow this band ripped off Stereolab hard
	12:49pm Hungry Freaks: So who is playing the backing track on this? I'm assuming they didn't indulge The Association even if those guys can play.
	♥ 12:49pm Listener Baby: Joe Osborne does!
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You're right - the time has come... : Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely Someone calls on me And every now and then I spend my time at rhyme and verse And curse those faults in me And then along comes Mary And does she want to give me kicks, and be my steady chick And give me pick of memories Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails and tribulations No one ever sees When we met I was sure out to lunch Now, my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch (...) When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks Whose sickness is the games they play And when the masquerade is played the neighbor folks make jokes At who is most to blame today And then along comes Mary And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality From where she got her name And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch of hers Will make them not the same When we met I was sure out to lunch Now, my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed And flaccid kids are flung across the stars The psychodramas and the traumas gone The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars And then along comes Mary And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains She left the night before Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them Realize their urgent cry for sight no more When we met I was sure out to lunch Now, my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch Sweet as the punch Sweet as the punch Sweet as the punch Sweet as the punch Written by: Tandyn Almer
	12:50pm clarke: The Association could DEFINITELY play - but, this is why they were so upset that studio musicians continued to be used in their stead, they deteriorated as a band.
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Almost happened to Love. Or, it did.
	12:52pm clarke: vague desire? hmm...
	♥ 12:52pm Frank Zaatar: @Lizzie: Wow--I really had no idea. I wondered how Smokey got it past the censors.
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...alleged lyrics...
	12:53pm clarke: well, with Love - their drummer was so hooked on smack he COULDN'T play

	♥ 12:54pm luka: there’s an echo in here
	12:54pm clarke: bless George Alexander's goddam bass line!!
	♥ 12:54pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Is there a better song than "Shake Some Action?" I do not believe there is and I am 56-years-old.
	12:54pm Folksnake: #1, infinity.
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...man, the caffeine's comin' on on a Saturday ...don't make me turn on the amp & mess this whole album again...
	♥ 12:55pm Handy Haversack: For anyone who wants to support Bryce but for whatever personal reason does not want to use the platform to do so, I guarantee that a personal check made out to WFMU ("For Bryce" in the memo!) and mailed to WFMU, 43 Montgomery St., Jersey City, NJ 07302, will get to the right place.

	12:55pm onthetrain: Good show mike!
	♥ 12:55pm Frank Zaatar: Michael, you can play this every week.
	♥ 12:55pm drr: clarke: I'm glad I watched it cause the image Kanopy had for it made it look really dumb and not good. Loved the scene where the dad cleans his guns on the porch, and of course the bit in the jail.
	12:56pm clarke: William Demarest - champion of the world!!
	12:57pm P-90: Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm jmd: Heck yes!
