	10:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HulloHullo !
	10:11pm Robm: Hey discotech
	10:11pm Julie: who was talking smack about them?
	10:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I tend to say I find the Fudge dispensable...
	10:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Late 1967 - the Winter of Love :)
	10:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Posit the Stones brought a Paganism to Psych no one else could.
	10:15pm Tome: Hiey Julie !<>! out all day not even had my ice cream , but glad be home yes great stuff like the last Sunday evenings now !<>!
	10:16pm Julie: hiya Tome!
	10:16pm Androu B.: I was surprised to find out (through Secondhand Songs of all places on the web) that VF had recently (and briefly) reformed to record one more album (that is, unless it was a compilation of previously unreleased material).
	10:16pm Julie: I think it WAS a reunion but I'm no expert on the fudge
	10:16pm bigplanetnoise: Sounding great, Joolz!
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' 16-year-old Peter Frampton joined as lead singer and guitarist ' - ! His dad was Bowie's Art Teacher...
	10:17pm Julie: thanks BPN Bob!
	10:17pm Discotech Underground: Hey Grandbob!
	10:17pm Julie: tiny baby frampton
	10:17pm bigplanetnoise: Kip!!!
	10:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...his talkbox hadn't even broken yet haha...
	10:21pm Androu B.: Well, Frampton had to start somewhere. I could imagine him getting caught up in the literal haze of the Psych rock movement going from band to band. Must have been quite an ecstatic experience for him, being so young then.
	10:21pm Julie: I didn't have it but all the older kids had that live album of is. WAS HUGE
	10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HumblePie with Marriott - super. Frampton is great & way kewl.
	10:23pm Tome: I was one of the older kids had it on Cassette , even though my sliighly older cousin ,, shook his head all about he was more of an ie,,, ELP , YeS kid
	10:25pm Tome: oh and Breyer's ain't the same anymore ,,, ( just saying
	10:25pm Androu B.: Just so happens, there's a copy of his 1979 album resting in a crate in the next room from me with a bunch of other vinyl me and my younger brother amassed together.
	10:26pm Julie: excellent!
	10:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I have one volume of the AcidVisions comp.s. Wish I had 'em all !
	10:27pm Androu B.: Don't see a title on it, so I presume it's a self-titled album?
	10:28pm Julie: it's Where I Should Be, looks like title on record but not sleeve?
	10:28pm Julie: www.discogs.com...
	10:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah - James Dewar - ended up with Robin Trower : en.wikipedia.org...
	10:29pm Androu B.: That's the one! Thanx, Julie!
	10:30pm Julie: perm looks pretty good there
	10:30pm Discotech Underground: Dewar's voice is so iconic on those Trower tracks like "Bridge Of Sighs".
	10:31pm Julie: Maggie really DOES remind one of Janis
	10:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Indeed. & I was thinking there Dewar sounded real Blood Sweat & Tears !
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm. Much more 'feminine' - higher register than Janis. Have to hear it again...
	10:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh wait - Maggie in Crows - thot you meant Atlantis vocals...
	10:38pm Julie: haha yeah I had clicked your wiki link
	10:41pm Androu B.: Just noticing the cover of The Brazen Hussies album, seems like they might have had some interest in Illuminati conspiracy theories. Or did they just voluntarily use the "all-seeing eye" design on the $1-bill strictly for artistic purposes?
	10:43pm Julie: that's the Acid Visions comp design. They all have that.
	10:43pm Julie: Do people even mention the Illuminati anymore?
	10:44pm Discotech Underground: Luv the Nazz!
	10:45pm Julie: I couldn't tell you which one of those boys is Rundgren
	10:46pm Androu B.: Oh, OK, so it was the label's idea. But in fact, at that time, being post-9-11, there was renewed interest among conspiracy theorists about the Illuminati theories.
	10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Todd bottom left ! ...AcidVisions I think is all Texas tracks ? Hence the Eye in the Pyramid is an allusion to the 13th Floor Elevators' use of it. As in my avatar of the moment as it happens!
	10:49pm Julie: It's been ages since I thought about the Illuminati and I watched the new Dr Strange movie last night and there they were
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the Elevators of course had the great & singular Roky Erickson on vocals - but their ideological leader was Tommy Hall - who had truck with all sorts of arcane philosophies & orientations. The Elevators were true psychedelic drug evangelists. In mid1960s Texas.
	10:52pm Discotech Underground: Roky and I have the same birthday!
	10:52pm Julie: that was Friday right? Also Ian Curtis
	10:52pm Julie: happy belated, Kip!
	10:53pm Androu B.: Oh, and TY for playing The Nazz, Julie! Had the first two albums on 8-track(!) back in the day. It was fun discovering what The Runt was doing before he had solo success in the 70's and went on to form Utopia. in fact, it's what made me a TR fan for life! I even saw the man himself performing with Utopia at a theater in Passaic (and still have the ticket stubs to prove it!).
	10:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Johnny Thunders also 15th July ! I had forgotten.
	10:53pm Julie: i think he lives on Kauai my friend there sees (or did see) him around
	10:54pm Julie: I need to acquaint myself with The NY Dolls I'm kinda lacking there
	10:54pm Scott67: JULIEEEE!!! G'day! That Programing Gap always messes my timing up mate. & a phone call from Mum. Sorry! 🍻😎🤙🎶📻☀️🌏❤️🦜🦜🦜
	10:55pm Julie: I think the whole buster period put me off Johanson for a while. Hiya Scott!
	10:56pm Androu B.: Well, fancy seeing you again, Scottso, ol' mate! 👍😎🍻
	10:57pm Scott67: Been ages Androu! Cheers mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	10:59pm Androu B.: Srsly, we've got to stop meeting like this! It's getting ridiculous, haha! Btw, what is your preference in beer, if you don't mind me asking? Fosters maybe?
	11:00pm Julie: oh no please don't tell me australians really drink fosters
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♋︎Cancerian ⦿Solar Return Discotech Underground ! www.facebook.com...
	11:01pm Aitch: Don't think they even make it here anymore, haven't seen it for ages
	11:03pm Androu B.: I just like the concept of beer in an oil can. It should've been a trend, but I guess the economy as it is here in the States just won't allow for that. Shame, really.
	11:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Once made my mind up I was going to learn to play 'Cygnet Committee' ...the man was a Short Story writer.
	11:04pm Mr Fab: Hi Julie! Listening while drivin round doin stuff. That Proud Mary was sho nuff funky. Wonder if it’s been sampled.
	11:05pm Scott67: Shit no Androu! Not many Aussies drink Foster mate. Why we send that shit overseas. Therev are some awesome beers in Oz, & some really bloody awful ones. I actually drink a cheap Supermarket Beer brewed in Vietnam, less than a buck a can,. Important while on the Dole. & don't blow my image by spreading this, but it's low alcohol. But I do drink loads of it mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	11:05pm Julie: Heya Mr Fab!
	11:05pm Androu B.: Glad to hear from you, Mr. Fab! Thanx for joining us!
	11:06pm Julie: (just imagining what kind of bedtime stories David told to his children)
	11:08pm Androu B.: Do they have IPA's down under?
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's like Dylan - pretty simple chords - but verse after verse of amazing things. & it does have a few different sections - like Arthur Lee stuff...
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1969 also had Tommy & Court of the Crimson King...
	11:09pm Scott67: Shit yes Androu! A favourite of mine if I'm drinking out & about mate! 🍻😎🤙
	11:09pm Julie: and Empty Sky!
	11:10pm Androu B.: So what's your fave, mate?
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like Springsteen in the sense of later narrowing the cinematic Dylanisms down to Hits they could sell - & sell BIG...
	11:12pm Julie: LC could also tell a good story
	11:14pm Scott67: Faves come & go mate, with my moods & palate at the time. I even love a nice Stout if the time's right. So I can't really pick one to Fave over all others. So little time, so many beers mate. Ales or Lagers are my go to style, or Pilsner,.. or Dark Ale....or.. Beer is my fave would be the answer mate!
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had so little alcohol the whole of pandemic times ! ...Someone mentioned Sierra Nevada - the very thot of a bottle like a Party ! :D ...I'm fond of red wine above all. But it is Summer !...
	11:16pm Julie: what? You didn't drink MORE?
	11:16pm Androu B.: Ever try Yeungling? That's my current go-to.
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for affordable slumming beer - I like Tecate the Mexican beer in cans. No income anymore is the thing see...
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Do love Guinness. But it's not a Summer refresher per se...
	11:19pm Julie: ahhh I see...
	11:19pm Julie: Guinness is like drinking soup
	11:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No understanding of the PBR trendiness.
	11:20pm Scott67: Had ta google it Androu, so no. I'm not a big fan of US beers, unless it's a Sierra Nevada or the like. & yes RvoR I have pounded some Tecata, prefer it to Carona.
	11:20pm Scobot: Just tuned in, Julie. Always love that you play vintage EJ. One of my favorite albums. Hope you are well.
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Zackly - Guinness is never drinking on an empty stomach !
	11:20pm Scott67: Julie is thinking of renaming her Show Eclectical Beer🍺
	11:21pm Julie: hiya Scobot! Thanks I'm good hope you are too!
	11:21pm Androu B.: I've tried Guiness before. Not bad at all. I think I tried the dark first. So I have yet to try the light one.
	11:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Corona even ! Why PBR.
	11:22pm Androu B.: Btw, I have a former brother-in-law of Irish descent to thank for introducing me to Guiness.
	11:23pm Scobot: I love Guinness beer. It’s a meal unto itself. Much like eating/drinking a loaf of bread.
	11:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Supersonic Minnie ! Beer is in fact essentially liquid bread with hops.
	11:27pm Julie: I prefer Cider but I have no idea what the difference is
	11:27pm Androu B.: While we're on the subject, I wonder if anyone here has ever tried beer-battered fish or any other meats served similarly.
	11:28pm David Shortell: It was nice to hear "The Lantern" during my long drive home, courtesy of my car bluetooth's connection to my WFMU phone app. I maintain that half of that maligned album's ten tracks are good, including that one. Wes Anderson honored another of the good tracks, "2000 Man", in his film "Bottle Rocket".
	11:29pm Julie: I've definitely had something beer-battered... I don't recall it having a particularly beerish taste. Hiya David!
	11:29pm Phillippe Bastille: I love this song…
	11:29pm Julie: me too...BIG favorite. Hiya Phillippe!
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - yeah, cider ! Was just starting to play Music with people & even in front of them when pandemic thundered down. My thing for it was a certain caffeine pill & then cider while playing... Okay ! ...always adored this Moodys ...but never occurred to me it was called 'The Actor'. Humbling.
	11:30pm Julie: what caffeine pill?
	11:31pm Androu B.: Btw, Julie, I should mention that I once had two of Elton's best albums on 8-track, "Don't Shoot Me..." & "Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road"
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh a particular formulation with B-Vitamins & all the usual. VitaValue brand. Currently take a straight caffeine pill called 'Jet Alert'. Cheap cheap drug store junk.
	11:33pm Julie: @Androu nice! I had the Elton John album on 8-track!
	11:33pm Scott67: G'day Phillippe!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	11:34pm Julie: could they FIT all of GYBR on one 8-track?
	11:35pm Scobot: I was wondering the same thing, Julie.
	11:37pm Androu B.: Oh, and I also remember getting a chance to hear the broadcast of Elton's debut radio performance in the US over WNEW-FM in 1970.
	11:37pm Julie: such a weird format, songs split over two "tracks"
	11:37pm Julie: @Androu wow that must have been amazing
	11:37pm Julie: I'm so glad they released the record. Just the three of them at the time, just magical
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Some albums they infamously changed the sequencing so it fit on 8-track with its four equal 'sides'. So I guess they weren't super long ? Never had an 8-track phase... Sometimes they happened to use different mixes too...
	11:38pm Androu B.: I only heard it for the first time at least 30 years after it aired.
	11:39pm Julie: my dad gave me a portable 8 track player in like...1981? LOL
	11:39pm Julie: I had like 5, autoamerican, the elton, two abbas
	11:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& 8-tracks would loop & keep playing ??
	11:41pm David Shortell: Julie @10:49 You know that wasn't the same Illuminati Androu was talking about! However, I am coincidentally wearing this t-shirt at this moment: stylinonline.com...
	11:41pm Rich in Washington: That's around the time that I was given a hand-me-down stereo from my older sister with its 8-track player. I still can't listen to Kraftwerk's Autobahn to this day without anticipating that ka-CHUNK of it changing tracks right in the last 3rd of the song.
	11:41pm Julie: I can't even remember if they would restart. @David I know but same idea? all powerful committee
	11:42pm Julie: I just know I need more Krazynski (Sp?) as Reed Richards
	11:42pm Scott67: G'day Rich!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	11:42pm Scobot: RRN63, I would be worried that with the 8- track format, there might be a few songs eliminated. Still, what a surprise if you finally obtained the vinyl release. Tunes you’ve never heard.
	11:42pm Julie: hiya Rich! Yeah that was awful...sometimes the fade out, fade in
	11:43pm Julie: I mean I guess it was good because you didn't have to flip over a record? i assume 8-tracks were pre-cassette?
	11:44pm Tome: !!!<>!!!
	11:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm wondering how the quality was compared to cassette - wider & better? Or with all those tracks - not?
	11:46pm Rich in Washington: 8-tracks and Compact Cassette formats existed at the same time but the former were initially more popular and prevalent until the latter caught on.
	11:46pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey Scott, how are ya?
	11:47pm Scobot: No one 10 years younger than me would have no idea how Genesis’ music ever sounded like this.
	11:47pm Tome: 8 track ,, good for the car only , even if you would acquire a good 8 track tape player cassettes far better
	11:47pm Aitch: 8 track potentially much better sound, much wider tape.
	11:47pm Androu B.: The thing about 8-tracks, and I speak from experience with them, is that, over time, the silver element that switches the player from track to track will eventually fall out of it's place. If it happens while the player is on, you end up with a mess of tape jammed into the spindles, just like what happens with the format's successor, cassette tapes, when the spindle on that format suddenly spins the other way for some unexplained reason.
	11:47pm Rich in Washington: I've often wondered that too, RR1163. My experience was that 8-tracks sounded horrible but my stereo was an awful, cheap unit.
	11:47pm David Shortell: I read the first book of Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! trilogy, barely following it. Is it worth it to continue? I did, however, finish and was amused by Wilson's Schrödinger's Cat trilogy.
	11:48pm Julie: Yes! Mom had an 8-track player in her car!
	11:49pm Tome: if you had a good cassette player ,, was far better , in a cheap player cassette was not much better really
	11:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The potential of a format is not necessarily utilized / realized ...the earliest CDs for example.
	11:50pm Tome: it was a popular option then Julie in the car you were !WoW! in the early days of it up until like the mid 70's anyway
	11:50pm Julie: I was born too late for reel to reel..I'm sure my family MUST have had one at some point
	11:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tape has appeal in various ways ...but Moving Parts is nothing to romanticize.
	11:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and nanners! The real cool people had cars with 8-tracks and CB radios.
	11:51pm Tome: 1/4 inched reel to reel tape @ 15ips was pretty good at ie,,, copying LPs in a good sound system
	11:52pm Julie: hiya Ken!
	11:53pm Julie: I just remember all the cool guys on TV had them, even after regular people didn't
	11:53pm Tome: 8 track you had random access to tracks on the album push button but that was part of it's faults also in the mechanism
	11:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cassette is 1/4 inch - but you're splitting that in two for Sides A & B. Four track cassette recorders do not do that ...which I learned by erasing things without meaning to...
	11:54pm Julie: the inability to easily choose a track was the biggest flaw of cassettes
	11:55pm Tome: yes you were mad when you had to rewind // fast forward , them and turn them over to the other side also - cassettes ,,
	11:56pm Tome: latter on you had automatic selection tape decks but they had their flaws also up until cd's becasue popular of course
	11:56pm Scott67: Thanks for the Julie Journey, always a joy mate! Love to the Birds!🍻😎🤙❤️🌻🦜🦜🦜
	11:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Programmability is def a major advantage of Digital.
	11:57pm Tome: yes forgive my audio snob nostalgia lolz ,, Great Show Julie !<>!
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Too late for birds ? :D
	11:58pm Scobot: Every car I owned (during the cassette phase) chewed up my tapes. I remember losing my shit when it chewed up REM’s Reckoning!
	11:58pm David Shortell: Back in the 80s, shortly after I got my driving license, I had an 8-track player installed in my hand-me-down Vega. Then I used a friend's sound system to dub the Great Society's live albums and the Velvet Underground's first album onto 8-track tapes that I'd frequently listen to while driving. I was one odd teenager.
	11:59pm Tome: yes they were like that Scobot ,, I remebmer all too well also esp is it was NOT a cheap album on cassette !
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Julie ~
	11:59pm Julie: ending with this now, thanks for listening everyone!
	11:59pm Androu B.: Now we have folks like Vickie Bennett (People Like Us) trying to revive the ancient format of lathe recording, the format Edison invented in the Naissance of recorded music. As I understand it, it's an attempt to resurrect the days of recording booths that were so popular with aspiring artists during that same era when 8-tracks were in general use. Thanx so much, Julie! A pleasure as always to hear from you! see you Tuesday, Good Lord willing!
	12:00am Rich in Washington: Thanks, Julie! Wonderful show this evening!
	12:00am Julie: Goodnight! Thank you Rich!

	10:16pm Julie: I think it WAS a reunion but I'm no expert on the fudge
	10:16pm bigplanetnoise: Sounding great, Joolz!
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' 16-year-old Peter Frampton joined as lead singer and guitarist ' - ! His dad was Bowie's Art Teacher...
	10:17pm Julie: thanks BPN Bob!
	10:17pm Discotech Underground: Hey Grandbob!
	10:17pm Julie: tiny baby frampton
	10:17pm bigplanetnoise: Kip!!!
	10:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...his talkbox hadn't even broken yet haha...
	10:21pm Androu B.: Well, Frampton had to start somewhere. I could imagine him getting caught up in the literal haze of the Psych rock movement going from band to band. Must have been quite an ecstatic experience for him, being so young then.
	10:21pm Julie: I didn't have it but all the older kids had that live album of is. WAS HUGE
	10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HumblePie with Marriott - super. Frampton is great & way kewl.
	10:23pm Tome: I was one of the older kids had it on Cassette , even though my sliighly older cousin ,, shook his head all about he was more of an ie,,, ELP , YeS kid
	10:25pm Tome: oh and Breyer's ain't the same anymore ,,, ( just saying
	10:25pm Androu B.: Just so happens, there's a copy of his 1979 album resting in a crate in the next room from me with a bunch of other vinyl me and my younger brother amassed together.
	10:26pm Julie: excellent!
	10:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I have one volume of the AcidVisions comp.s. Wish I had 'em all !
	10:27pm Androu B.: Don't see a title on it, so I presume it's a self-titled album?
	10:28pm Julie: it's Where I Should Be, looks like title on record but not sleeve?
	10:28pm Julie: www.discogs.com...
	10:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah - James Dewar - ended up with Robin Trower : en.wikipedia.org...
	10:29pm Androu B.: That's the one! Thanx, Julie!
	10:30pm Julie: perm looks pretty good there
	10:30pm Discotech Underground: Dewar's voice is so iconic on those Trower tracks like "Bridge Of Sighs".
	10:31pm Julie: Maggie really DOES remind one of Janis
	10:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Indeed. & I was thinking there Dewar sounded real Blood Sweat & Tears !
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm. Much more 'feminine' - higher register than Janis. Have to hear it again...
	10:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh wait - Maggie in Crows - thot you meant Atlantis vocals...
	10:38pm Julie: haha yeah I had clicked your wiki link
	10:41pm Androu B.: Just noticing the cover of The Brazen Hussies album, seems like they might have had some interest in Illuminati conspiracy theories. Or did they just voluntarily use the "all-seeing eye" design on the $1-bill strictly for artistic purposes?
	10:43pm Julie: that's the Acid Visions comp design. They all have that.
	10:43pm Julie: Do people even mention the Illuminati anymore?
	10:44pm Discotech Underground: Luv the Nazz!
	10:45pm Julie: I couldn't tell you which one of those boys is Rundgren
	10:46pm Androu B.: Oh, OK, so it was the label's idea. But in fact, at that time, being post-9-11, there was renewed interest among conspiracy theorists about the Illuminati theories.
	10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Todd bottom left ! ...AcidVisions I think is all Texas tracks ? Hence the Eye in the Pyramid is an allusion to the 13th Floor Elevators' use of it. As in my avatar of the moment as it happens!
	10:49pm Julie: It's been ages since I thought about the Illuminati and I watched the new Dr Strange movie last night and there they were
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the Elevators of course had the great & singular Roky Erickson on vocals - but their ideological leader was Tommy Hall - who had truck with all sorts of arcane philosophies & orientations. The Elevators were true psychedelic drug evangelists. In mid1960s Texas.
	10:52pm Discotech Underground: Roky and I have the same birthday!
	10:52pm Julie: that was Friday right? Also Ian Curtis
	10:52pm Julie: happy belated, Kip!
	10:53pm Androu B.: Oh, and TY for playing The Nazz, Julie! Had the first two albums on 8-track(!) back in the day. It was fun discovering what The Runt was doing before he had solo success in the 70's and went on to form Utopia. in fact, it's what made me a TR fan for life! I even saw the man himself performing with Utopia at a theater in Passaic (and still have the ticket stubs to prove it!).
	10:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Johnny Thunders also 15th July ! I had forgotten.
	10:53pm Julie: i think he lives on Kauai my friend there sees (or did see) him around
	10:54pm Julie: I need to acquaint myself with The NY Dolls I'm kinda lacking there
	10:54pm Scott67: JULIEEEE!!! G'day! That Programing Gap always messes my timing up mate. & a phone call from Mum. Sorry! 🍻😎🤙🎶📻☀️🌏❤️🦜🦜🦜
	10:55pm Julie: I think the whole buster period put me off Johanson for a while. Hiya Scott!
	10:56pm Androu B.: Well, fancy seeing you again, Scottso, ol' mate! 👍😎🍻
	10:57pm Scott67: Been ages Androu! Cheers mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	10:59pm Androu B.: Srsly, we've got to stop meeting like this! It's getting ridiculous, haha! Btw, what is your preference in beer, if you don't mind me asking? Fosters maybe?
	11:00pm Julie: oh no please don't tell me australians really drink fosters
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♋︎Cancerian ⦿Solar Return Discotech Underground ! www.facebook.com...
	11:01pm Aitch: Don't think they even make it here anymore, haven't seen it for ages
	11:03pm Androu B.: I just like the concept of beer in an oil can. It should've been a trend, but I guess the economy as it is here in the States just won't allow for that. Shame, really.
	11:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Once made my mind up I was going to learn to play 'Cygnet Committee' ...the man was a Short Story writer.
	11:04pm Mr Fab: Hi Julie! Listening while drivin round doin stuff. That Proud Mary was sho nuff funky. Wonder if it’s been sampled.
	11:05pm Scott67: Shit no Androu! Not many Aussies drink Foster mate. Why we send that shit overseas. Therev are some awesome beers in Oz, & some really bloody awful ones. I actually drink a cheap Supermarket Beer brewed in Vietnam, less than a buck a can,. Important while on the Dole. & don't blow my image by spreading this, but it's low alcohol. But I do drink loads of it mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	11:05pm Julie: Heya Mr Fab!
	11:05pm Androu B.: Glad to hear from you, Mr. Fab! Thanx for joining us!
	11:06pm Julie: (just imagining what kind of bedtime stories David told to his children)
	11:08pm Androu B.: Do they have IPA's down under?
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's like Dylan - pretty simple chords - but verse after verse of amazing things. & it does have a few different sections - like Arthur Lee stuff...
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1969 also had Tommy & Court of the Crimson King...
	11:09pm Scott67: Shit yes Androu! A favourite of mine if I'm drinking out & about mate! 🍻😎🤙
	11:09pm Julie: and Empty Sky!
	11:10pm Androu B.: So what's your fave, mate?
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like Springsteen in the sense of later narrowing the cinematic Dylanisms down to Hits they could sell - & sell BIG...
	11:12pm Julie: LC could also tell a good story
	11:14pm Scott67: Faves come & go mate, with my moods & palate at the time. I even love a nice Stout if the time's right. So I can't really pick one to Fave over all others. So little time, so many beers mate. Ales or Lagers are my go to style, or Pilsner,.. or Dark Ale....or.. Beer is my fave would be the answer mate!
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had so little alcohol the whole of pandemic times ! ...Someone mentioned Sierra Nevada - the very thot of a bottle like a Party ! :D ...I'm fond of red wine above all. But it is Summer !...
	11:16pm Julie: what? You didn't drink MORE?
	11:16pm Androu B.: Ever try Yeungling? That's my current go-to.
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for affordable slumming beer - I like Tecate the Mexican beer in cans. No income anymore is the thing see...
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Do love Guinness. But it's not a Summer refresher per se...
	11:19pm Julie: ahhh I see...
	11:19pm Julie: Guinness is like drinking soup
	11:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No understanding of the PBR trendiness.
	11:20pm Scott67: Had ta google it Androu, so no. I'm not a big fan of US beers, unless it's a Sierra Nevada or the like. & yes RvoR I have pounded some Tecata, prefer it to Carona.
	11:20pm Scobot: Just tuned in, Julie. Always love that you play vintage EJ. One of my favorite albums. Hope you are well.
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Zackly - Guinness is never drinking on an empty stomach !
	11:20pm Scott67: Julie is thinking of renaming her Show Eclectical Beer🍺
	11:21pm Julie: hiya Scobot! Thanks I'm good hope you are too!
	11:21pm Androu B.: I've tried Guiness before. Not bad at all. I think I tried the dark first. So I have yet to try the light one.
	11:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Corona even ! Why PBR.
	11:22pm Androu B.: Btw, I have a former brother-in-law of Irish descent to thank for introducing me to Guiness.
	11:23pm Scobot: I love Guinness beer. It’s a meal unto itself. Much like eating/drinking a loaf of bread.
	11:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Supersonic Minnie ! Beer is in fact essentially liquid bread with hops.
	11:27pm Julie: I prefer Cider but I have no idea what the difference is
	11:27pm Androu B.: While we're on the subject, I wonder if anyone here has ever tried beer-battered fish or any other meats served similarly.
	11:28pm David Shortell: It was nice to hear "The Lantern" during my long drive home, courtesy of my car bluetooth's connection to my WFMU phone app. I maintain that half of that maligned album's ten tracks are good, including that one. Wes Anderson honored another of the good tracks, "2000 Man", in his film "Bottle Rocket".
	11:29pm Julie: I've definitely had something beer-battered... I don't recall it having a particularly beerish taste. Hiya David!
	11:29pm Phillippe Bastille: I love this song…
	11:29pm Julie: me too...BIG favorite. Hiya Phillippe!
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - yeah, cider ! Was just starting to play Music with people & even in front of them when pandemic thundered down. My thing for it was a certain caffeine pill & then cider while playing... Okay ! ...always adored this Moodys ...but never occurred to me it was called 'The Actor'. Humbling.
	11:30pm Julie: what caffeine pill?
	11:31pm Androu B.: Btw, Julie, I should mention that I once had two of Elton's best albums on 8-track, "Don't Shoot Me..." & "Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road"
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh a particular formulation with B-Vitamins & all the usual. VitaValue brand. Currently take a straight caffeine pill called 'Jet Alert'. Cheap cheap drug store junk.
	11:33pm Julie: @Androu nice! I had the Elton John album on 8-track!
	11:33pm Scott67: G'day Phillippe!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	11:34pm Julie: could they FIT all of GYBR on one 8-track?
	11:35pm Scobot: I was wondering the same thing, Julie.
	11:37pm Androu B.: Oh, and I also remember getting a chance to hear the broadcast of Elton's debut radio performance in the US over WNEW-FM in 1970.
	11:37pm Julie: such a weird format, songs split over two "tracks"
	11:37pm Julie: @Androu wow that must have been amazing
	11:37pm Julie: I'm so glad they released the record. Just the three of them at the time, just magical
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Some albums they infamously changed the sequencing so it fit on 8-track with its four equal 'sides'. So I guess they weren't super long ? Never had an 8-track phase... Sometimes they happened to use different mixes too...
	11:38pm Androu B.: I only heard it for the first time at least 30 years after it aired.
	11:39pm Julie: my dad gave me a portable 8 track player in like...1981? LOL
	11:39pm Julie: I had like 5, autoamerican, the elton, two abbas
	11:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& 8-tracks would loop & keep playing ??
	11:41pm David Shortell: Julie @10:49 You know that wasn't the same Illuminati Androu was talking about! However, I am coincidentally wearing this t-shirt at this moment: stylinonline.com...
	11:41pm Rich in Washington: That's around the time that I was given a hand-me-down stereo from my older sister with its 8-track player. I still can't listen to Kraftwerk's Autobahn to this day without anticipating that ka-CHUNK of it changing tracks right in the last 3rd of the song.
	11:41pm Julie: I can't even remember if they would restart. @David I know but same idea? all powerful committee
	11:42pm Julie: I just know I need more Krazynski (Sp?) as Reed Richards
	11:42pm Scott67: G'day Rich!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	11:42pm Scobot: RRN63, I would be worried that with the 8- track format, there might be a few songs eliminated. Still, what a surprise if you finally obtained the vinyl release. Tunes you’ve never heard.
	11:42pm Julie: hiya Rich! Yeah that was awful...sometimes the fade out, fade in
	11:43pm Julie: I mean I guess it was good because you didn't have to flip over a record? i assume 8-tracks were pre-cassette?
	11:44pm Tome: !!!<>!!!
	11:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm wondering how the quality was compared to cassette - wider & better? Or with all those tracks - not?
	11:46pm Rich in Washington: 8-tracks and Compact Cassette formats existed at the same time but the former were initially more popular and prevalent until the latter caught on.
	11:46pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey Scott, how are ya?
	11:47pm Scobot: No one 10 years younger than me would have no idea how Genesis’ music ever sounded like this.
	11:47pm Tome: 8 track ,, good for the car only , even if you would acquire a good 8 track tape player cassettes far better
	11:47pm Aitch: 8 track potentially much better sound, much wider tape.
	11:47pm Androu B.: The thing about 8-tracks, and I speak from experience with them, is that, over time, the silver element that switches the player from track to track will eventually fall out of it's place. If it happens while the player is on, you end up with a mess of tape jammed into the spindles, just like what happens with the format's successor, cassette tapes, when the spindle on that format suddenly spins the other way for some unexplained reason.
	11:47pm Rich in Washington: I've often wondered that too, RR1163. My experience was that 8-tracks sounded horrible but my stereo was an awful, cheap unit.
	11:47pm David Shortell: I read the first book of Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! trilogy, barely following it. Is it worth it to continue? I did, however, finish and was amused by Wilson's Schrödinger's Cat trilogy.
	11:48pm Julie: Yes! Mom had an 8-track player in her car!
	11:49pm Tome: if you had a good cassette player ,, was far better , in a cheap player cassette was not much better really
	11:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The potential of a format is not necessarily utilized / realized ...the earliest CDs for example.
	11:50pm Tome: it was a popular option then Julie in the car you were !WoW! in the early days of it up until like the mid 70's anyway
	11:50pm Julie: I was born too late for reel to reel..I'm sure my family MUST have had one at some point
	11:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tape has appeal in various ways ...but Moving Parts is nothing to romanticize.
	11:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and nanners! The real cool people had cars with 8-tracks and CB radios.
	11:51pm Tome: 1/4 inched reel to reel tape @ 15ips was pretty good at ie,,, copying LPs in a good sound system
	11:52pm Julie: hiya Ken!
	11:53pm Julie: I just remember all the cool guys on TV had them, even after regular people didn't
	11:53pm Tome: 8 track you had random access to tracks on the album push button but that was part of it's faults also in the mechanism
	11:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cassette is 1/4 inch - but you're splitting that in two for Sides A & B. Four track cassette recorders do not do that ...which I learned by erasing things without meaning to...
	11:54pm Julie: the inability to easily choose a track was the biggest flaw of cassettes
	11:55pm Tome: yes you were mad when you had to rewind // fast forward , them and turn them over to the other side also - cassettes ,,
	11:56pm Tome: latter on you had automatic selection tape decks but they had their flaws also up until cd's becasue popular of course
	11:56pm Scott67: Thanks for the Julie Journey, always a joy mate! Love to the Birds!🍻😎🤙❤️🌻🦜🦜🦜
	11:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Programmability is def a major advantage of Digital.
	11:57pm Tome: yes forgive my audio snob nostalgia lolz ,, Great Show Julie !<>!
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Too late for birds ? :D
	11:58pm Scobot: Every car I owned (during the cassette phase) chewed up my tapes. I remember losing my shit when it chewed up REM’s Reckoning!
	11:58pm David Shortell: Back in the 80s, shortly after I got my driving license, I had an 8-track player installed in my hand-me-down Vega. Then I used a friend's sound system to dub the Great Society's live albums and the Velvet Underground's first album onto 8-track tapes that I'd frequently listen to while driving. I was one odd teenager.
	11:59pm Tome: yes they were like that Scobot ,, I remebmer all too well also esp is it was NOT a cheap album on cassette !
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Julie ~
	11:59pm Julie: ending with this now, thanks for listening everyone!
	11:59pm Androu B.: Now we have folks like Vickie Bennett (People Like Us) trying to revive the ancient format of lathe recording, the format Edison invented in the Naissance of recorded music. As I understand it, it's an attempt to resurrect the days of recording booths that were so popular with aspiring artists during that same era when 8-tracks were in general use. Thanx so much, Julie! A pleasure as always to hear from you! see you Tuesday, Good Lord willing!
	12:00am Rich in Washington: Thanks, Julie! Wonderful show this evening!
	12:00am Julie: Goodnight! Thank you Rich!
