	11:18am jmd: So that’ll be a pre-recorded NRBQ? Unless they’re flying to Seattle directly after the show?
	♥ 11:18am Montmaster J: The guitar and clavinet sound so good on this.#1Hit!
	11:19am SamTheRam: Who did Rambling Rose in last set?
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I find that if a rekkid has a good beat for dancing - it has a good chance of being a Hit with the rekkid-buying public...
	11:22am SamTheRam: Thanks Michael!
	11:24am Dennis Diken: go, Mikey! hey gang!
	♥ 11:24am Squints: This is real nice.
	11:25am clarke: not sure of the version of Ramblin Rose that was played, but Marijohn Wilson wrote the thang.
	11:25am clarke: 3/10
	11:27am clarke: Dennis, howdy! was trying to ascertain when Moonie eschewed the hi-hat - looks like between their last performance on Shindig and their appearance on Smothers Bros??
	11:27am phat in lincoln: An Eric Adams joke!
	11:27am SamTheRam: Thanks for the info Clarke, appreciated
	♥ 11:28am Squints: G G Y
	11:29am phat in lincoln: Maybe I'll go to the twistin' place tonight?
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...adapted by TheBeatles as 'There's a Twist & Shout Place'...
	11:31am Dennis Diken: @clarke - are you referring to live performances? good question. He used hi hat on records throughout The Who’s career, it’s a common misnomer that he didn’t. And he played it to great effect, methinks!
	11:31am clarke: but then, Moonie came back to the hi-hats later around the time of Lifehouse/Quad.
	11:31am paul: Fun weather fact: Tampa has never hit 100 degrees since record keeping began back in 1890.
	♥ 11:32am KevinfromBayRidge: Good morning...No Better Call Saul spoilers, por favor!
	11:32am clarke: i'm pretty sure townshend insisted on SOME hi-hat - as his demos have it in spades.
	♥ 11:32am Squints: "There's A Place" is a slight little thing but it never doesn't grab me.
	♥ 11:33am Michael Shelley: I realized last week - Chris Franz almost never uses ride cymbal.
	11:33am clarke: this is not a spoiler, kevin: it is INTENSE!!
	11:33am phat in lincoln: We will be hitting 101° today, at least, I'm told.
	11:33am JetBoy of Brooklyn: Good morning all! Always good to hear some teenage fan club (and get that can con in!)
	11:33am johnk77: just turned 90 degrees fahrenheit less humid boogie down south bronx nice set selecter
	11:33am clarke: frantz didn't have a true ride - two crashes
	11:34am clarke: there's not a lot of ride cymbal on Cars songs, either, btw.
	♥ 11:35am Squints: So when a drummer evolves that way, is from habits developed while learning, or is it conscious decision that <this part of the kit> is lame (or "not for me")?
	♥ 11:35am Handy Haversack: Does anyone else watch For All Mankind? I really dig it, but I never hear anyone else mention it at all.
	11:35am phat in lincoln: 101° isn't unheard-of here, but it seems a bit early.
	11:36am Doug in MP: Hey Handy! Who is P.E.?
	11:36am clarke: might have been financial at the start, Squints? i know i couldn't afford a full set until i was in high school.
	11:36am Pax: @ Michael: isn't the parking lot they're building on once belonged to fmu. If so where will the fmu staff and visitor's be parking from now on... Street side ?
	♥ 11:36am KevinfromBayRidge: Great show Thursday, Handy! Have the whole season on DVR, clarke. Never got around to watching Breaking Bad but I've heard a lot of spoilers for obvious reasons.
	♥ 11:36am Squints: "Pete Best used a lot of ride cymbal, and look what happened to him." I kid. I have no idea.
	♥ 11:37am Squints: clarke, yeah, that makes sense.
	♥ 11:37am G: @Handy: That's the alternate-history space-program show, yes? If so, Mary Ellen's daughter has been watching episodes of it here with her mom this week (the daughter is visiting from Portland)
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Squints: 'There's a Place' - you probly know - inspired by 'There's a Place For Us' from WestSideStory in that same time. It's already 'Imagine' by Lennon really - already Psych with Eastern influence in early 1963 I put it to you.
	11:37am clarke: sometimes. ha ha.
	11:37am johnk77: the cars had click track and other pre-recorded tracks for the live shows later in their career
	11:38am clarke: yeah, pete best made nothing but #1's!!
	♥ 11:38am Squints: Rab, the WSS connection is news to me but makes sense now that you mention it.
	11:38am clarke: well, David Robinson got rid of the trad drum kit by those years, anyway, john.

	♥ 11:43am Mike Sin: In Oldham's book, he talks about one of his main objectives to get folks recording versions of Jagger/Richards tracks because all the money was in publishing. He states he saw the marketing angle of Marianne first before considering her voice.
	11:43am Dennis Diken: 2 examples of Moonie’s masterful hi hat work are “I’m Free” and “The Seeker.” And “Christmas.” There are lots more!
	11:43am paul: Joe Cobb from Our Gang?
	11:44am clarke: marianne with the shaky hands??
	11:44am Doug in MP: Ok, I have to go paint the Bilco while it's still in the shade

	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the angle of Marianne's breasts did not go unnoticed. Pretty close to straight from convent school to the Stones' orbit...

	♥ 12:07pm drr: Enjoyed Travis Wammack at Ponderosa Stomp because he played "Play That Funky Music" which displeased the more authenticity-minded members of the audience, but not Travis.

	12:08pm clarke: seven.
	♥ 12:08pm Frank In Queens: I haven't seen Performance. It's on my list.
	♥ 12:08pm common: performance is excellent!

	12:09pm Peter other: James fox always watchable!!
	12:09pm SamTheRam: Two Thumbs Up
	♥ 12:09pm Michael Shelley: clarke - Q: when you said "7" did you mean 10?
	12:09pm clarke: Performance is worth seeing. i won't say it is the most exciting flick, ever. but, it reminds me of Get Carter
	12:09pm Baby: We can agree to disagree
	♥ 12:09pm My son cool: Yes, Performance is really good-- extremely strange, surprising, trippy. A+
	12:09pm clarke: seven.
	12:09pm Dennis: I DVRed Performance last week but haven’t watched it yet That’s Ry Cooder on slide I believe
	♥ 12:10pm Mailman Tom: Poor Merry Clayton was a victim of a car accident and both of her legs needed to be amputated.

	♥ 12:10pm Frank In Queens: Ugh, I missed the bongo feet!
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They say unlike Bowie - Jagger could never portray anyone but Jagger. But I think for Performance that was the task.
	♥ 12:10pm unpopularfred: not a great movie, intermittently interesting, but certainly a document of its time
	12:10pm Peter other: Yes, Get Carter a good benchmark--brit gangsters 1970 dark
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Classic 1960s I gather...
	12:11pm Barefoot Jimmy G: Performance is great! Nicholas Roeg! Jagger is sublime!
	♥ 12:11pm Squints: It's worth getting outside to get to a beach bar I'm taking the missus to later. As in, bar. At the beach. Well, in the beach parking lot.
	12:11pm Edward: PERFORMANCE is great, though doomed and anxiogenic. I think when it came out, Rolling Stone said “This is the real Altamont movie.”
	12:11pm clarke: make no mistake: Get Carter is a MUCH better Film!!
	♥ 12:12pm drr: I saw a different Nicolas Roeg movie (Walkabout) last night, as chance would have it, and now that I've seen two of his movies, my capsule review is he's 0 for 2 on endings.
	12:12pm Baby: Timing was a seven. Artistic Impression a 10+ Makes a 8.75
	12:12pm captain mike: Holy I and I Batman!
	12:12pm ?: Hefti must get stoned!
	12:12pm clarke: ha ha ha ha.

	♥ 12:13pm Frank In Queens: I do believe it's Movie Time.
	♥ 12:13pm Hubig Pie: TCM screened Performance last Monday, did not watch tho. Their website describes it as equally psychedelic and hallucinatory (but way more decadent and depraved) than Tommy (which I can't even begin to watch)
	12:13pm clarke: i can't even remember Performance's end - which is not a great thing.
	♥ 12:14pm Squints: Can not get enough of The Nutley Brass.
	♥ 12:14pm Pedro in Arlington: Anybody seen Blondie in concert lately? Recent video shows Chris sitting on a stool sort of strumming. Tix are $75 with The Damned.
	12:14pm paul: Wanna see a really bad Jagger movie? Check out Running Out of Luck.
	12:14pm clarke: so...HIT IT!! (frank!)
	♥ 12:14pm Squints: Cue the go go dancers in cages.
	12:15pm Doug C.: Performance is great. See it. It's from the art/music collision of the late sixties but only mildly indulgent and I found it not at all boring. Nicolas Roeg was one of the great cinematographers and it shines on this.
	♥ 12:15pm drr: paul: or Freejack.
	12:15pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	♥ 12:15pm steveo: Is this Nutley or whatley? (love it)
	12:15pm Pax: @clarke: you said you're going to be hitting Citi Field, I thought you lived down in Nawleans. Does that mean you'll be coming up here just to see a Mets game, or did you move up this way or are you visiting?
	♥ 12:16pm Michael Shelley: I saw Blondie (w/ Elvis) a few years ago - Chris on a stool, Clem in a Plexi box... and some new guys... not great.
	12:16pm captain mike: Jagger in FREEJACK is pretty awful too
	12:16pm clarke: rx hay!! not me, Pax - frank is!
	12:16pm paul: @drr, forgot about that one.
	12:16pm clarke: i wish! i'm committed to this stinky city until Sept
	♥ 12:17pm Squints: Jagger's high point as an actor might be the bandcamp episode of The Simpsons.
	12:17pm DG: Saw "Performance" years ago, maybe at a rep theater here in NY (or the famous Mini on L.I.) & thought it was kinda dull & one of those weird/psychedelic movies from the '60s that probably seemed better back then. The soundtrack is varied & pretty good though: features a great Randy Newman song (well, a performance---he didn't write it) & Newman, Ry Cooder & others backing up Jagger on "Memo from Turner" (which is better known than the film---there's also an alternate version on that Stones collection "Metamorphosis" which may have some Stones playing on it). And yes, TCM showed it late at night this week, they're doing various rock-related movies every Monday, including (also late) "Absolute Beginners" which was weird but worth seeing, for Bowie, Ray Davies & others.
	12:17pm Myron Feld: Best Buzzcocks song ever give

	12:19pm Pax: Stinky City? Literally, or figuratively.
	12:19pm clarke: saw the same tour in boston near fenway park
	12:19pm DG: Saw Blondie & Costello at Forest Hills 3 years ago & they were great, despite Chris's limited activity (I think he had a beard too---looked more like a member of the Dead). Having seen them a few times over the last 10 years (Coney Island, Longuyland) I thought they did a good set; Elvis, on the other hand, seemed tired & wasn't keeping up with the band much of the time, don't know why.
	♥ 12:19pm drr: clarke, you gonna answer that one?
	12:20pm PatrickMC: Buzzcocks/Fall 79 palladium. That was a time

	12:21pm clarke: 8/10
	12:21pm phat in lincoln: You're The One is one hell of a great song. That chorus!
	♥ 12:21pm LesleyK: Greetings all, enjoying the tunes here. and just wanted to chime in about upcoming Blondie/Damned shows. Chris Stein has some heart/health issues so they will have Glen Matlock on bass for this tour. And not to be missed is Paul Gray on bass with the Damned (he was on the Black Album and Strawberries as well as recent recordings) and he was the bass player for Eddie and the Hot Rods. A truly fantastic bass player!!
	12:22pm clarke: wow - i'd pay to see Glen Matlock play bass!
	♥ 12:22pm drr: Pax: we had floods all over town in N.O. yesterday.
	12:23pm phat in lincoln: I think those tickets are worth it for The Damned.
	12:23pm clarke: but i thought chris stein played guitar??
	♥ 12:23pm G: Man, did he work enough South Louisiana references in here? (he posted from New Orleans). Sounds like the "Battle of New Orleans" a little, too.

	12:28pm clarke: long overdue!!
	12:29pm clarke: it's funny, dave mentioned flooding, but my street usually floods at the drop of a hat, but not yesterday. i guess we just got missed for most of that heavy stuff (although it was quite heavy for a while).

	♥ 11:00am Squints: ok then. heyHEYhey now.
	♥ 11:00am Squints: I'm pretty sure a paraquat voice would be more or less Spiccolian.
	♥ 11:01am Squints: Nice lookin' hop smoodie there, Kevin.
	♥ 11:01am steveo: HELL, MIKE

	11:04am phat in lincoln: Who wants to clean my kitchen?
	11:04am clarke: hey nowww what gives you carte blanche to use this kind of tonality?!~
	♥ 11:05am Squints: This is kind of like Lloyd Cole goes a little "oi." It goes without saying that it is Number. One.
	♥ 11:05am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Looking forward to 2 hours of hit after hit.
	♥ 11:06am Handy Haversack: Safer than cleaning a kitten, phat! Hey there, clarke, steveo, Squints, Corey, Baby, G, and all!
	♥ 11:07am Squints: So was his sister a bandit?
	♥ 11:07am Squints: Maybe THE bandit?
	♥ 11:08am Listener Baby: Best version. Huffington is BANGING!!
	♥ 11:08am Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Handy Thanks for the Staten Island Ferry recommendation. That was a perfect start to our Saturday last week.
	♥ 11:08am Listener Baby: Heffington
	11:09am clarke: The Heffington POST!
	♥ 11:10am steveo: Hello, Handy!
	11:10am clarke: Handy - u gittin' out on the water, this weekend?
	♥ 11:11am Listener Baby: Seeing Randy was my the first date with my future wife
	♥ 11:11am Corey: Howdy Handy!
	♥ 11:12am Handy Haversack: Oh, sweet, Geoffrey! Glad to hear it! clarke, I don't think so. I volunteered to do some like tabling about the org. at an event this afternoon/evening, but no one has gotten back to me to tell me what that entails, so ... [insert that shrugging typographical thingy that people insert to indicate shrugging]. Might go see P.E. play tonight.
	♥ 11:13am Handy Haversack: Also, it's three billion degrees outside.
	♥ 11:13am Squints: That was pretty GGY.
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Morning ! ...my station will be kewl as hell - but everything else gonna be hell like hell...
	11:15am clarke: hell on earth people!~
	♥ 11:17am Montmaster J: Is that Johnny singing?
	11:18am clarke: tis
	11:18am jmd: So that’ll be a pre-recorded NRBQ? Unless they’re flying to Seattle directly after the show?
	♥ 11:18am Montmaster J: The guitar and clavinet sound so good on this.#1Hit!
	11:19am SamTheRam: Who did Rambling Rose in last set?
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I find that if a rekkid has a good beat for dancing - it has a good chance of being a Hit with the rekkid-buying public...
	11:22am SamTheRam: Thanks Michael!
	11:24am Dennis Diken: go, Mikey! hey gang!
	♥ 11:24am Squints: This is real nice.
	11:25am clarke: not sure of the version of Ramblin Rose that was played, but Marijohn Wilson wrote the thang.
	11:25am clarke: 3/10
	11:27am clarke: Dennis, howdy! was trying to ascertain when Moonie eschewed the hi-hat - looks like between their last performance on Shindig and their appearance on Smothers Bros??
	11:27am phat in lincoln: An Eric Adams joke!
	11:27am SamTheRam: Thanks for the info Clarke, appreciated
	♥ 11:28am Squints: G G Y
	11:29am phat in lincoln: Maybe I'll go to the twistin' place tonight?
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...adapted by TheBeatles as 'There's a Twist & Shout Place'...
	11:31am Dennis Diken: @clarke - are you referring to live performances? good question. He used hi hat on records throughout The Who’s career, it’s a common misnomer that he didn’t. And he played it to great effect, methinks!
	11:31am clarke: but then, Moonie came back to the hi-hats later around the time of Lifehouse/Quad.
	11:31am paul: Fun weather fact: Tampa has never hit 100 degrees since record keeping began back in 1890.
	♥ 11:32am KevinfromBayRidge: Good morning...No Better Call Saul spoilers, por favor!
	11:32am clarke: i'm pretty sure townshend insisted on SOME hi-hat - as his demos have it in spades.
	♥ 11:32am Squints: "There's A Place" is a slight little thing but it never doesn't grab me.
	♥ 11:33am Michael Shelley: I realized last week - Chris Franz almost never uses ride cymbal.
	11:33am clarke: this is not a spoiler, kevin: it is INTENSE!!
	11:33am phat in lincoln: We will be hitting 101° today, at least, I'm told.
	11:33am JetBoy of Brooklyn: Good morning all! Always good to hear some teenage fan club (and get that can con in!)
	11:33am johnk77: just turned 90 degrees fahrenheit less humid boogie down south bronx nice set selecter
	11:33am clarke: frantz didn't have a true ride - two crashes
	11:34am clarke: there's not a lot of ride cymbal on Cars songs, either, btw.
	♥ 11:35am Squints: So when a drummer evolves that way, is from habits developed while learning, or is it conscious decision that <this part of the kit> is lame (or "not for me")?
	♥ 11:35am Handy Haversack: Does anyone else watch For All Mankind? I really dig it, but I never hear anyone else mention it at all.
	11:35am phat in lincoln: 101° isn't unheard-of here, but it seems a bit early.
	11:36am Doug in MP: Hey Handy! Who is P.E.?
	11:36am clarke: might have been financial at the start, Squints? i know i couldn't afford a full set until i was in high school.
	11:36am Pax: @ Michael: isn't the parking lot they're building on once belonged to fmu. If so where will the fmu staff and visitor's be parking from now on... Street side ?
	♥ 11:36am KevinfromBayRidge: Great show Thursday, Handy! Have the whole season on DVR, clarke. Never got around to watching Breaking Bad but I've heard a lot of spoilers for obvious reasons.
	♥ 11:36am Squints: "Pete Best used a lot of ride cymbal, and look what happened to him." I kid. I have no idea.
	♥ 11:37am Squints: clarke, yeah, that makes sense.
	♥ 11:37am G: @Handy: That's the alternate-history space-program show, yes? If so, Mary Ellen's daughter has been watching episodes of it here with her mom this week (the daughter is visiting from Portland)
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Squints: 'There's a Place' - you probly know - inspired by 'There's a Place For Us' from WestSideStory in that same time. It's already 'Imagine' by Lennon really - already Psych with Eastern influence in early 1963 I put it to you.
	11:37am clarke: sometimes. ha ha.
	11:37am johnk77: the cars had click track and other pre-recorded tracks for the live shows later in their career
	11:38am clarke: yeah, pete best made nothing but #1's!!
	♥ 11:38am Squints: Rab, the WSS connection is news to me but makes sense now that you mention it.
	11:38am clarke: well, David Robinson got rid of the trad drum kit by those years, anyway, john.
	♥ 11:39am Ken From Hyde Park: My dear mother just left a message. My aunt Joyce was supposed to fly to Iceland & Norway on vacation today, but came down with the virus. 🦠 Stay safe out there!
	♥ 11:39am Michael Shelley: @PAX - yeah - street!
	♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: That's it, G. Really good sci fi. With excellent workplace, family, and "political" drams thrown in.
	11:39am Doug in MP: Ken, damn that sucks
	11:39am clarke: (which was a huge mistake, in my book)
	11:39am Dennis: Aloha Number One peeps!
	♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: For sure, Doug. I think the trip is postponed to next month, so not all is lost.
	♥ 11:41am Squints: But not Joe South. Yes, yes, Joe.
	11:41am johnk77: @clarke a sound guy i started out working with in california later did front of house for last big cars tour mark deadman i think the show i saw was msg?
	11:41am clarke: and apparently joe cobb - GGSq!!
	11:42am clarke: that must've been a turmoil-filled tour!!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...unlike our like last POTUS who wasn't even a little a two-bit off-brand Mussolini. Tell you what - when Biden stumbles or stutters - that's my reminder he's no Stalin. Thx for that !...
	♥ 11:43am Mike Sin: In Oldham's book, he talks about one of his main objectives to get folks recording versions of Jagger/Richards tracks because all the money was in publishing. He states he saw the marketing angle of Marianne first before considering her voice.
	11:43am Dennis Diken: 2 examples of Moonie’s masterful hi hat work are “I’m Free” and “The Seeker.” And “Christmas.” There are lots more!
	11:43am paul: Joe Cobb from Our Gang?
	11:44am clarke: marianne with the shaky hands??
	11:44am Doug in MP: Ok, I have to go paint the Bilco while it's still in the shade
	♥ 11:44am Greg from ZONE 5: Bad news is I'm home from a week in Seaside. Good news is I'm not currently sitting in the line of cars going TO Seaside.
	♥ 11:44am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Ken, my 95-year-old aunt and her 75-year-old wife both got it last week. Aunt Donna is in the hospital. Just to remind everyone we are in no wise "post-"pandemic. Pixie to your aunt.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the angle of Marianne's breasts did not go unnoticed. Pretty close to straight from convent school to the Stones' orbit...
	11:44am clarke: yes, DD, on the album - all over them!!
	♥ 11:45am Squints: Dave Cortez could not be reached for comment.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...iirc...
	11:45am phat in lincoln: This Jackie Davis is actually pretty hot, no pun intended.
	♥ 11:45am Squints: clarke, indeed.
	11:45am clarke: although there are legit claims that townshend may have played some drums on Quad and Lifehouse sessions.
	11:46am PatrickMC: ALO followed the Phil Oakey method of finding singing talent
	11:46am clarke: especially Free & Easy!!
	♥ 11:47am Squints: The Attractions? Including Bruce? Or are they just (heh) Imposters?
	11:48am clarke: 'ello Bruce!!
	♥ 11:48am Frank In Queens: He-ey Now!
	11:48am clarke: FRAnK!!
	♥ 11:49am Michael Shelley: Imposters
	11:49am clarke: where ya been??
	♥ 11:51am Squints: Now I'm hungry for Cups And Cakes.
	11:51am clarke: Tennessee Thomas - not so shabby either!
	11:51am johnk77: pete thomas 1 of the best live drummers i have ever seen and super-nice guy off-stage
	11:52am PatrickMC: Thats a perfect segue
	♥ 11:54am Frank In Queens: Last weeBut happy to be here now.k I had a family do. Earlier today I had to run some errands.
	♥ 11:55am Frank In Queens: Wow, that post came out weird...
	11:55am clarke: how ya been?? saw some of the mets, last nite. scherzer met his match with opposing pitcher!
	11:56am clarke: that there Wiggle Worm Wiggle was TOPnotch!!
	♥ 11:56am Frank In Queens: Been alright. Doing electrical work on the "studio" this coming week and then full speed ahead!
	♥ 11:57am steveo: autotune makes me wistful
	11:57am clarke: that's a win!!
	11:57am clarke: i take it that a power conditioner could not do the trick.
	11:58am jmd: What’s with the mix on this swamp dog?
	11:58am clarke: probably the auto-tune. GET A NEW DJ!!
	♥ 11:58am Frank In Queens: Haven't even gotten to that point yet. Gotta upgrade the outlets first. They're very old.
	11:59am clarke: gotcha! hitting CitiField this week??
	♥ 11:59am Frank In Queens: Yeah, tomorrow night. My buddy from Charlotte is up this week.
	12:00pm clarke: who ya'll playin'?? have a great time!
	♥ 12:00pm Frank In Queens: Padres again.
	12:01pm clarke: i'm a Nola fan (pad's catcher)
	♥ 12:03pm Frank In Queens: Nice. Mets haven't fared to well against the west coast teams so far this year.
	♥ 12:03pm Baja Joe: Hey! That's me making it legal! Nice surprise.
	12:04pm clarke: strange year, all around.
	12:04pm morphe': Don't want no need no job .. just got elderly discount ttrain card in Spain =AARP Waiting for the Disc Cine card ... If I don't shave and am grey/gray ...they just give it???
	12:05pm clarke: is that travis on vocals?? whoah, different from his voice, later on.
	12:05pm Baby: Nailed that one, Baby!
	12:05pm clarke: 7/10
	12:06pm Joe R.: If you would have told me this is early Lindsey Buckingham I would have believed you
	♥ 12:07pm drr: Enjoyed Travis Wammack at Ponderosa Stomp because he played "Play That Funky Music" which displeased the more authenticity-minded members of the audience, but not Travis.
	12:07pm Baby: 7???!!
	12:08pm clarke: seven.
	♥ 12:08pm Frank In Queens: I haven't seen Performance. It's on my list.
	♥ 12:08pm common: performance is excellent!
	12:09pm paul: Saw Performance many years ago. Very boring.
	♥ 12:09pm Squints: I like authenticity. And I like its obverse. Especially if it's fun. That's the only rule: Fun.
	12:09pm Peter other: James fox always watchable!!
	12:09pm SamTheRam: Two Thumbs Up
	♥ 12:09pm Michael Shelley: clarke - Q: when you said "7" did you mean 10?
	12:09pm clarke: Performance is worth seeing. i won't say it is the most exciting flick, ever. but, it reminds me of Get Carter
	12:09pm Baby: We can agree to disagree
	♥ 12:09pm My son cool: Yes, Performance is really good-- extremely strange, surprising, trippy. A+
	12:09pm clarke: seven.
	12:09pm Dennis: I DVRed Performance last week but haven’t watched it yet That’s Ry Cooder on slide I believe
	♥ 12:10pm Mailman Tom: Poor Merry Clayton was a victim of a car accident and both of her legs needed to be amputated.
	♥ 12:10pm Handy Haversack: I guess to punish ourselves for our sins, we're going to try to eat outside. Remember us fondly. Will be listening until ears, brains, or boombox melts.
	♥ 12:10pm Frank In Queens: Ugh, I missed the bongo feet!
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They say unlike Bowie - Jagger could never portray anyone but Jagger. But I think for Performance that was the task.
	♥ 12:10pm unpopularfred: not a great movie, intermittently interesting, but certainly a document of its time
	12:10pm Peter other: Yes, Get Carter a good benchmark--brit gangsters 1970 dark
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Classic 1960s I gather...
	12:11pm Barefoot Jimmy G: Performance is great! Nicholas Roeg! Jagger is sublime!
	♥ 12:11pm Squints: It's worth getting outside to get to a beach bar I'm taking the missus to later. As in, bar. At the beach. Well, in the beach parking lot.
	12:11pm Edward: PERFORMANCE is great, though doomed and anxiogenic. I think when it came out, Rolling Stone said “This is the real Altamont movie.”
	12:11pm clarke: make no mistake: Get Carter is a MUCH better Film!!
	♥ 12:12pm drr: I saw a different Nicolas Roeg movie (Walkabout) last night, as chance would have it, and now that I've seen two of his movies, my capsule review is he's 0 for 2 on endings.
	12:12pm Baby: Timing was a seven. Artistic Impression a 10+ Makes a 8.75
	12:12pm captain mike: Holy I and I Batman!
	12:12pm ?: Hefti must get stoned!
	12:12pm clarke: ha ha ha ha.
	12:12pm Edward: I meant “doomy,” not “doomed.”
	♥ 12:13pm Frank In Queens: I do believe it's Movie Time.
	♥ 12:13pm Hubig Pie: TCM screened Performance last Monday, did not watch tho. Their website describes it as equally psychedelic and hallucinatory (but way more decadent and depraved) than Tommy (which I can't even begin to watch)
	12:13pm clarke: i can't even remember Performance's end - which is not a great thing.
	♥ 12:14pm Squints: Can not get enough of The Nutley Brass.
	♥ 12:14pm Pedro in Arlington: Anybody seen Blondie in concert lately? Recent video shows Chris sitting on a stool sort of strumming. Tix are $75 with The Damned.
	12:14pm paul: Wanna see a really bad Jagger movie? Check out Running Out of Luck.
	12:14pm clarke: so...HIT IT!! (frank!)
	♥ 12:14pm Squints: Cue the go go dancers in cages.
	12:15pm Doug C.: Performance is great. See it. It's from the art/music collision of the late sixties but only mildly indulgent and I found it not at all boring. Nicolas Roeg was one of the great cinematographers and it shines on this.
	♥ 12:15pm drr: paul: or Freejack.
	12:15pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	♥ 12:15pm steveo: Is this Nutley or whatley? (love it)
	12:15pm Pax: @clarke: you said you're going to be hitting Citi Field, I thought you lived down in Nawleans. Does that mean you'll be coming up here just to see a Mets game, or did you move up this way or are you visiting?
	♥ 12:16pm Michael Shelley: I saw Blondie (w/ Elvis) a few years ago - Chris on a stool, Clem in a Plexi box... and some new guys... not great.
	12:16pm captain mike: Jagger in FREEJACK is pretty awful too
	12:16pm clarke: rx hay!! not me, Pax - frank is!
	12:16pm paul: @drr, forgot about that one.
	12:16pm clarke: i wish! i'm committed to this stinky city until Sept
	♥ 12:17pm Squints: Jagger's high point as an actor might be the bandcamp episode of The Simpsons.
	12:17pm DG: Saw "Performance" years ago, maybe at a rep theater here in NY (or the famous Mini on L.I.) & thought it was kinda dull & one of those weird/psychedelic movies from the '60s that probably seemed better back then. The soundtrack is varied & pretty good though: features a great Randy Newman song (well, a performance---he didn't write it) & Newman, Ry Cooder & others backing up Jagger on "Memo from Turner" (which is better known than the film---there's also an alternate version on that Stones collection "Metamorphosis" which may have some Stones playing on it). And yes, TCM showed it late at night this week, they're doing various rock-related movies every Monday, including (also late) "Absolute Beginners" which was weird but worth seeing, for Bowie, Ray Davies & others.
	12:17pm Myron Feld: Best Buzzcocks song ever give
	12:18pm PatrickMC: John Maher!
	♥ 12:18pm Frank In Queens: 10/10!
	12:18pm clarke: good day MF!!
	12:18pm clarke: 10/10
	♥ 12:18pm Mailman Tom: I saw the Buzzcocks perform in New Haven back in the early 90s
	♥ 12:19pm drr: are we like ice skating judges today? I just got here.
	12:19pm Pax: Stinky City? Literally, or figuratively.
	12:19pm clarke: saw the same tour in boston near fenway park
	12:19pm DG: Saw Blondie & Costello at Forest Hills 3 years ago & they were great, despite Chris's limited activity (I think he had a beard too---looked more like a member of the Dead). Having seen them a few times over the last 10 years (Coney Island, Longuyland) I thought they did a good set; Elvis, on the other hand, seemed tired & wasn't keeping up with the band much of the time, don't know why.
	♥ 12:19pm drr: clarke, you gonna answer that one?
	12:20pm PatrickMC: Buzzcocks/Fall 79 palladium. That was a time
	12:20pm clarke: no beards on my f'n stage!!!
	12:21pm clarke: 8/10
	12:21pm phat in lincoln: You're The One is one hell of a great song. That chorus!
	♥ 12:21pm LesleyK: Greetings all, enjoying the tunes here. and just wanted to chime in about upcoming Blondie/Damned shows. Chris Stein has some heart/health issues so they will have Glen Matlock on bass for this tour. And not to be missed is Paul Gray on bass with the Damned (he was on the Black Album and Strawberries as well as recent recordings) and he was the bass player for Eddie and the Hot Rods. A truly fantastic bass player!!
	12:22pm clarke: wow - i'd pay to see Glen Matlock play bass!
	♥ 12:22pm drr: Pax: we had floods all over town in N.O. yesterday.
