	11:11am listener phat in Lincoln: Just discovered you can't upload to Bandcamp from the phone app.
	11:11am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:06 it's a start!
	11:11am Moammar: Rewatched "Saturday Night Fever" within the last couple of years. Major time capsule, and it basically stands up. We enjoyed it, but that may be due to my wife's abiding adolescent crush on Travolta. Didn't inquire too deeply.
	11:12am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:11 those assholes down at the league office.
	11:12am drr: IIRC Saturday Night Fever got re-released with a PG rating to get those under 17 dollars. I think that's the one I saw, where our mom made us leave before the end, but not enough before the end to be undisturbed.
	11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz~
	11:13am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:12 Lol
	11:14am Handy Haversack: clarke, if you can make it up here in two hours, I'm going on the kelp paddle today.
	11:14am listener phat in Lincoln: I've been recording sketches onto my phone, which works great. I kinda want to just toss them up there without fuss. Nobody's going to want to hear them anyway. Lol
	11:14am Squints: ↳ Song: "Satisfaction" by "Jimmy McGriff" Puttin' a little GG in the Y here.
	11:15am clarke: handy, i'm on the way...

	11:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm just phoning it in ...like everything by everyone now...
	11:16am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Start!" by "Jam, The" You mean Taxman?
	11:17am listener phat in Lincoln: I think I need to go get donuts in my new-to-me car. The stereo is great.
	11:17am Jeff formerly from Rahway: ShopRite has been playing The Jam for a few years now.
	11:17am clarke: the markets certainly got cooler with their tunage, in the past decade.
	11:17am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Start!" by "Jam, The" You shop groovy, Baby.
	11:17am pp: Cactus Blossoms are testament to the idea that siblings are genetically predisposed to producing great harmonies.
	11:17am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Start!" by "Jam, The" That's a hip grocery store.
	11:17am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:17 a new car!!
	11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Heard The Velvets in the JC Shop Rite a few weeks back.
	11:17am P-90: Someone might indeed have just heard Taxman shortly before writing this
	11:17am myron feld: My favorite in-store listening experience was hearing "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in The Party Store last year. True story -- I have audio/video proof.
	11:18am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Start!" by "Jam, The" Ah, the plagiaristic song stylings of Paul Weller! At least he has a great sense of humor to make up for it.
	11:18am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:17 Yes. It's a perfect haul gear around car. Audi wagon.
	11:18am SeanG: went to see the Lemon Twigs last night twas good!
	11:18am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:17 (johnny olson voice)
	11:18am Greg g: Morning Michael & All!! Been awhile since I’ve heard this one. Owes a debt to the Taxman but holds up nicely, I think.
	11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Start!" by "Jam, The" 'SoundAffects' an underexalted LP ...I suppose they were mildly successful in the UK ...yeah even the lead break is Taxmaneesh...
	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ Moammar @11:18 Yup, he’s a laugh-riot.
	11:19am drr: ↳ myron feld @11:17 "Radio Free Europe" was the grocery-store-listening kicker for me.

	11:20am Squints: ↳ P-90 @11:17 Probably in the Shop-Rite.
	11:20am Handy Haversack: I don't think our grocery stores even have music.
	11:20am drr: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:18 Some of Sound Affects, like "Pretty Green" sounds influenced by Gang Of Four.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:20 or da stawp n shawp
	11:21am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:20 I was just at the Stahp & Shahp this mahning.

	11:22am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:21 figures
	11:22am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "A House But Not A Home" by "Theo Lawrence And The... This dude and Logan Ledger are on to something. Nothing original, but something for sure.
	11:22am Squints: ↳ Song: "A House But Not A Home" by "Theo Lawrence And The... This would sit real nice on a Cactus Blossoms record.
	11:22am Bob: Good morning everybody!
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @11:20 Interesting.

	11:25am Listener Baby: We did
	11:25am clarke: that is terrific, man!!! send the detes..
	11:25am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:23 Hey now, Clarke!

	11:28am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Jimmy Loves Maryann" by "Josie Cotton" This song was recorded five minutes before the DX7 was invented. And a damned good thing ..

	11:29am clarke: this guy thinks he's tommy nobles. no way. no way!!

	11:30am clarke: ↳ Song: "Jimmy Loves Maryann" by "Josie Cotton" unecessary bongos.
	11:30am ?: adolescent synapses reactivated
	11:31am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Jimmy Loves Maryann" by "Josie Cotton" What the hell other big pop song used that synth riff?! It's on the tip of my tongue l.

	11:33am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Workin' For The Man" by "Roy Orbison" I thought of this song the other day while watching "Sullivan's Travels," one of the most #1 movies ever give.
	11:33am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:32 Older. 70s. Not dance. Lite rock. This is gonna kill me.
	11:33am Michael Shelley: ↳ myron feld @11:33 I watched that movie last week!
	11:33am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Workin' For The Man" by "Roy Orbison" Baby. That Bob Moore interview must be super old. Can’t say I’ve ever heard it. I’m going to try and find it. He was something. Not to mention R. Stevie’s pops.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:32 haven't been there, recently, but Grimey's Records is a must
	11:33am ?: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:31 vaguely similar to the solo in goodbye to you?

	11:36am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:33 Thanks Michael! Will check it out!
	11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: Vegetarian cheese steak?! I think I need this.
	11:36am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:34 The dishiest!
	11:37am Dano59: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 it's played by Josie in 'Valley Girl' and also sits well in a set of 'Marianne'/'Mary Ann' songs
	11:37am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Cactus Blossoms Dylan tribute EP was my only 2023 RSD purchase. I bought it for my son, who is a big fan of both artists.
	11:37am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Dano59 @11:35 Definitely plan on visiting there, thank you, Dano59!
	11:39am nycmusicnerd: For those who don't know...Amtrak now has "Night Owl" fares between NYC & DC (that includes Philly). In case anyone's thinking about going to Philly to catch a show.
	11:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dano59 @11:37 But not on the soundtrack? I know "Johnny Are You Queer" is, but I don't recall that one from the OST.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:37 one of the Country Westerns guys owns a small bar called Dukes (east nashville, i think) and they have local new music, live.
	11:39am Squints: I think even before MS turned me on to them here, this song grabbed me when they played it in the roadhouse in Ep 1 or 2 of the Twin Peaks return in 2017.
	11:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:37 YFP: Check out the 5 Spot for music.
	11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ @11:35 Nope. I may actually be thinking of that Josie Cotton song. "Year of the Cat" is close.
	11:40am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:40 Will do, Handy! Thank you!
	11:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:39 We went with the traditional NJT-->SEPTA route.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:39 so what would it cost to get to baltimore late at night?
	11:41am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Mississippi" by "Cactus Blossoms, The" I say it all the time. Tyler B is a stellar picker.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: One of our favorite Nashville acts, Tristen, is coming to NYC 6/1, but we already have tickets for the Bug Club that night. We're really torn about what to do. I think the fact that the Bug Club is coming from much farther away is going to be the deciding factor.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:41 Baby - this tasting room will have a stage of some sort, i presume??
	11:42am Xangoir: Song is on twin peaks LP one of my favs
	11:42am yerfriendpaul: ↳ clarke @11:39 Great! So glad I asked! Writing the list of places now- Thanks for the recommendations everyone!
	11:43am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Getting to Brooklyn from NJ is an expensive, long slog.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:42 i haven't been there, but hear it is cool. was supposed to play there, before the... you know.
	11:43am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:42 No, sadly. Long story, but not going to happen.
	11:43am Hoboken Jack: Hey Michael, Jeff, Baby, NYCMnerd, Handy, every mothers' dog Bagpipe, Clarke, Greg, Peter, all!
	11:44am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:43 say it ain't so, baby!! BABY!!
	11:44am Handy Haversack: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @11:43 WFMU HQ is one hour door to door for me, costs $5.50. But it's what we call Near Jersey. Jack! Poor Bagpipe was forced out to go on a run with K8. The cats are napping on top of me in solidarity.
	11:45am Listener Baby: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:43 Howdy Jack!
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:44 bagpipe got it goin' on!!
	11:45am GeoSinPhilly: ↳ Song: "Decisions" by "Ramsey Lewis Trio" I could definitely imagine and NRBQ cover of that one.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:43 'lo jack! still need to see It's Me Marg
	11:46am Artie: Yes! The joint across the street is Joe’s Steaks. I can attest that the non-vegan sandwich is legit and delicious as well, and very filling. Was great to meet Michael & Juniper. Yes, the show was fantastic. And, yes, you should do everything in your power to see them as soon as you can!
	11:46am Scott from Denver: Izaak is similar in tone to the late Justin Townes Earl IMHO.
	11:47am Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:40 i seem to recall wimpy MOR pop hit love song with a male singer ... and that riff /synth
	11:47am nycmusicnerd: ↳ clarke @11:40 Amtrak says: $15 www.amtrak.com...
	11:47am Listener Baby: You know, it would make a great coaster.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:47 nyce nycmn!!
	11:49am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:43 Hey Jack!
	11:49am Handy Haversack: We went to a friend's 50th bday party last night, and his wife had gotten a Cameo video bday greeting for him from Keith Hernandez, who mentioned in passing that he was a little drunk, and K8 says to me, "He must have recorded it right after the Jonesy toast!" So that happened.
	11:50am PaulRobeson1923: What kind of drugs?
	11:50am HyperDose: I love some good ole fashioned master key hijinks
	11:50am Bob: I’m riding in the car with my fifteen year old son. He’s driving me for the time with his driving permit. Do I sound scared? Heading to the Ann Arbor skatepark.
	11:50am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @11:50 I’m wondering Hi Hi Hi
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:50 that must be where Prof is!
	11:52am Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 It would be hilarious to have the band Cameo make a video greeting.
	11:53am Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 It's all fun and games until you're helping to move a twelve-piece sectional sofa.
	11:53am Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @11:52 And cost-effective, I'd wager!
	11:53am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Pusherman" by "Beau Allen" Where you been hiding this one, Baby. Mind blown! Greatest solo ever?
	11:53am pp: I had a master key in college labeled "SM-1", able to open all doors in the building. A thing of the past.
	11:53am PaulRobeson1923: Alcohol is a strong drug
	11:53am HyperDose: ↳ Bob @11:50 Stomp on the phantom brake pedal. Worked for my mom haha
	11:54am clarke: this next song is about living in the past, which is about 99% percent of you.
	11:56am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:54 you idiots out there
	11:56am Andrea C: ↳ clarke @11:54 unless you experience the timespace as Einstein theorized and everything is now anyway. :P
	11:56am Faux Jean: Checking in from cloudy San Diego!
	11:57am Roobs Vida Loca: Holy shit my family used to play and sing this song in Taos, NM!! Such great childhood memories!
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Andrea C @11:56 sounds like you need some rope moved.
	11:58am Andrea C: ↳ clarke @11:57 nah, I got just enough to enjoy thanks :)
	12:01pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Hora Ploiesteni" by "Dona Dumitru Siminica" Accordion, Violin, and clarinet
	12:01pm Andrea C: ↳ Song: "Hora Ploiesteni" by "Dona Dumitru Siminica" I believe violins and accordions are a staple of balcan music. So I think it's accordion.
	12:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Song: "Hora Ploiesteni" by "Dona Dumitru Siminica" Can this guy play "Nightshift"?
	12:02pm PaulRobeson1923: The cattle are lowing, The Baby awakes. But the little Lord Jesus No crying He makes.
	12:02pm Moammar: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 My sister got me a Keith video from Cameo last year, and honestly it was the best birthday present ever.
	12:04pm clarke: TT #1 smirking.
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Moammar @12:02 While contractually I had to point out "he's no Don Mattingly," it was really very touching and sweet. Our friend was very grateful. CD Player 1, WTH?
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:04 there might more than just kitty solidarity!!
	12:05pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "There's No One Like You" by "Redd Kross" Finally, a punk-adjacent California brother power-pop act tackles interfaith marriage. About time.
	12:06pm Bob: ↳ HyperDose @11:53 Ha!
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Song: "It's A Mistake" by "Rockets, The" this is the danny whitten rockets?
	12:08pm ledzeppelinsucks: I am at the WaterFest in Coupeville. Two otters are working near the wharf. "http://www.penncovewaterfestival.com/"
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only definite Theft can bring social equity to suspected Theft ...otherwise this thing can never end...
	12:10pm HungryFreak: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:09 Mao?
	12:10pm Listener Baby: PS. That rocked!
	12:13pm Michael Shelley: ↳ HungryFreak @12:10 Dont think we need to name names... but the robbing had nothing to do with the keys...
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ HungryFreak @12:10 ...Moses I think...

	12:16pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Tried So Hard" by "Yo La Tengo" Love this record so much!
	12:16pm drr: ↳ McGroovey @12:15 He really is the master. Hard to beat "campaign shoutin' like a Southern diplomat". And that coffee-colored Cadillac.
	12:18pm Bob: Fakebook is such a magic record
	12:19pm Rigo: Los Mismos? Wasn’t that the name of the remaining members of Los Bukis after Marco Antonio Solís left? No te preocupes más!
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ McGroovey @12:15 Verisimilitude
	12:20pm clarke: roger miller and tom t. hall were next-door neighbors in a cul de sac in brentwood.
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @12:16 So damn good
	12:21pm egould: I’m visiting family in Indianapolis and listening to Michael Shelley in EDT. I prefer MS at 8:00-10:00 am, but I’ll take what I can get.
	12:22pm clarke: hmm. that is highly illogical.
	12:23pm clarke: isn't indianapolis in central time - i thought the line of demarcation was the indiana/ohio border??
	12:24pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Psychotic Reaction" by "Señor Soul" I believe they became War.
	12:24pm Moammar: Jinx!
	12:24pm clarke: i believe i became war.
	12:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:23 Indiana has seven time zones.
	12:25pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Song: "I Don't Know Why" by "Marco Busato" This is the new most Michael Shelley song ever.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 this is not...
	12:25pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:23 Nope. Some northwest IN counties are Central time. The rest of the state adopted EDT.
	12:25pm Moammar: I recall that the blurb on one of Senor Soul's albums promised "mucho funky get-down soul." Delivered.
	12:26pm clarke: this is not nam, smokey.
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:25 Keeping an aquatic mammal ... inside the city limits ... that's not legal either ...
	12:26pm clarke: nice marmot!!
	12:29pm egould: ↳ Song: "Desperado" by "Cactus Blossoms, The" Saw these guys last year in Seattle. So good. I hope they come through again. And soon.
	12:31pm Bob: What are y’all watching? I need some tips. Barry is the only masterpiece I can think of at the moment. It’s just darker than ever this season. I hate Succession. Mrs Maizel took some creative chances this season and the results are mixed.
	12:32pm Bernardo: 2nd time I saw the Cactus Blossoms @ Mercury Lounge - they started an hour late cuz the lead singer was literally trapped in the john 😂
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:31 the new Perry Mason is gold!!
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bob @12:31 Yellowjackets? And we like Somebody Somehwere also. And Mrs. Davis is nicely insane.
	12:33pm clarke: yellowjackets did not take with me.
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:31 also, believe it or not The Last Of Us is pretty great, if you haven't already seen.
	12:36pm clarke: what about when your soundman doesn't know who sings what?
	12:37pm egould: ↳ Bob @12:31 I pretty much just watch NFL and college football. During the off-season, it’s Columbo and Hammer Films schlock.
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @12:37 I'm sure the NFL is working on eliminating the off-season.
	12:39pm HyperDose: I second Yellowjackets. So much suspense and intrigue
	12:39pm egould: I guarantee you will not regret seeing Cactus Blossoms.
	12:39pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:32 Yeah? Good tip. I was wondering about that
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:39 oh, Perry Mason is SO well-done!! closest thing to Chinatown you can get on 'tv'!
	12:41pm Bob: I will check out Yellowjackets. Not familiar
	12:41pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 Yeah. The NFL is getting really good at meting out entertainment and programming. And I freaking love it.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Jack from The Cactus Blossoms" veg-steaks!
	12:44pm clarke: i will have to say that i went down a Columbo rabbit-hole, last year - but stopped around season 5. no shark-jumping, per se, but seems like they started phoning it in.
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: OK, I gotta go see the kelp. Thanks, Michael! Grand show. Later on, Numbers One!
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:44 kelp on, HH.
	12:45pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:39 right!
	12:46pm Bernardo: Brooklyn made is kinda weird - you’re always close to the stage cuz it’s shallow and long but there’s a lot of obstructed views - columns everywhere - BUT they do have a pool
	12:46pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:44 Later dude!
	12:47pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:46 ...as the saucer sled rockets down the hill.
	12:47pm clarke: so messed up i need you here
	12:49pm listener phat in Lincoln: Fun show today! Wish I were in the metro area to see that show.

	12:50pm HungryFreak: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:13 Yah, I know totally. It's not like their thoughts were being governed by logic. I never knew the thing you mentioned until today though. Just another weird "small world" phenom and perhaps weirder, that 40 years later I get more insight.

	11:07am clarke: bora bora?
	11:07am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @10:28 1981. Weird and scary, to be honest. But I was 17. Probably amazing.
	11:07am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:01 Hey Clarke!
	11:07am drr: ↳ clarke @11:07 Rhyme with music, I mean.
	11:08am Artie: A big Happy Saturday to Michael and the whole #1 Hit Crew!
	11:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Michael & all!
	11:09am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Night Fever" by "Bee Gees, The" with the exception of "A Fifth of Beethoven" and maybe a couple others, I love the SNF soundtrack -- all two LPs of it.
	11:09am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. Howdy, Handy. If Todd has "pow, pow, pow", this is "pop, pop, pop".
	11:09am Squints: Nor shall the counting be to 2:13, except as on the way to 2:14.

	11:11am listener phat in Lincoln: Just discovered you can't upload to Bandcamp from the phone app.
	11:11am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:06 it's a start!
	11:11am Moammar: Rewatched "Saturday Night Fever" within the last couple of years. Major time capsule, and it basically stands up. We enjoyed it, but that may be due to my wife's abiding adolescent crush on Travolta. Didn't inquire too deeply.
	11:12am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:11 those assholes down at the league office.
	11:12am drr: IIRC Saturday Night Fever got re-released with a PG rating to get those under 17 dollars. I think that's the one I saw, where our mom made us leave before the end, but not enough before the end to be undisturbed.
	11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz~
	11:13am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:12 Lol
	11:14am Handy Haversack: clarke, if you can make it up here in two hours, I'm going on the kelp paddle today.
	11:14am listener phat in Lincoln: I've been recording sketches onto my phone, which works great. I kinda want to just toss them up there without fuss. Nobody's going to want to hear them anyway. Lol
	11:14am Squints: ↳ Song: "Satisfaction" by "Jimmy McGriff" Puttin' a little GG in the Y here.
	11:15am clarke: handy, i'm on the way...
	11:15am nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	11:16am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:14 let us know. yer a brave sort.
	11:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm just phoning it in ...like everything by everyone now...
	11:16am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Start!" by "Jam, The" You mean Taxman?
	11:17am listener phat in Lincoln: I think I need to go get donuts in my new-to-me car. The stereo is great.
	11:17am Jeff formerly from Rahway: ShopRite has been playing The Jam for a few years now.
	11:17am clarke: the markets certainly got cooler with their tunage, in the past decade.
	11:17am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Start!" by "Jam, The" You shop groovy, Baby.
	11:17am pp: Cactus Blossoms are testament to the idea that siblings are genetically predisposed to producing great harmonies.
	11:17am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Start!" by "Jam, The" That's a hip grocery store.
	11:17am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:17 a new car!!
	11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Heard The Velvets in the JC Shop Rite a few weeks back.
	11:17am P-90: Someone might indeed have just heard Taxman shortly before writing this
	11:17am myron feld: My favorite in-store listening experience was hearing "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in The Party Store last year. True story -- I have audio/video proof.
	11:18am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Start!" by "Jam, The" Ah, the plagiaristic song stylings of Paul Weller! At least he has a great sense of humor to make up for it.
	11:18am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:17 Yes. It's a perfect haul gear around car. Audi wagon.
	11:18am SeanG: went to see the Lemon Twigs last night twas good!
	11:18am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:17 (johnny olson voice)
	11:18am Greg g: Morning Michael & All!! Been awhile since I’ve heard this one. Owes a debt to the Taxman but holds up nicely, I think.
	11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Start!" by "Jam, The" 'SoundAffects' an underexalted LP ...I suppose they were mildly successful in the UK ...yeah even the lead break is Taxmaneesh...
	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ Moammar @11:18 Yup, he’s a laugh-riot.
	11:19am drr: ↳ myron feld @11:17 "Radio Free Europe" was the grocery-store-listening kicker for me.
	11:19am clarke: ↳ SeanG @11:18 nice Sean!! nice Phat!!
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ pp @11:17 'Blood Harmony'
	11:20am Squints: ↳ P-90 @11:17 Probably in the Shop-Rite.
	11:20am Handy Haversack: I don't think our grocery stores even have music.
	11:20am drr: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:18 Some of Sound Affects, like "Pretty Green" sounds influenced by Gang Of Four.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:20 or da stawp n shawp
	11:21am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:20 I was just at the Stahp & Shahp this mahning.
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 I wear headphones everywhere. Ain't takin' no chances out there ...also more EMFs to zap muh brain...
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:21 figures
	11:22am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "A House But Not A Home" by "Theo Lawrence And The... This dude and Logan Ledger are on to something. Nothing original, but something for sure.
	11:22am Squints: ↳ Song: "A House But Not A Home" by "Theo Lawrence And The... This would sit real nice on a Cactus Blossoms record.
	11:22am Bob: Good morning everybody!
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @11:20 Interesting.

	11:28am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Jimmy Loves Maryann" by "Josie Cotton" This song was recorded five minutes before the DX7 was invented. And a damned good thing ..

	11:30am ?: adolescent synapses reactivated
	11:31am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Jimmy Loves Maryann" by "Josie Cotton" What the hell other big pop song used that synth riff?! It's on the tip of my tongue l.
	11:31am Cooh John: Lotsa songs to dance to today.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:31 human league and a league of others?
	11:32am Squints: Nub dis one. Numbah one.
	11:32am clarke: Turntable #1 perhaps plotting a strike?
	11:32am yerfriendpaul: Speaking of Nashville, I’m going there next week with friends. Any recommendations? Food, music, miscellaneous?
	11:33am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Workin' For The Man" by "Roy Orbison" I thought of this song the other day while watching "Sullivan's Travels," one of the most #1 movies ever give.
	11:33am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:32 Older. 70s. Not dance. Lite rock. This is gonna kill me.
	11:33am Michael Shelley: ↳ myron feld @11:33 I watched that movie last week!
	11:33am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Workin' For The Man" by "Roy Orbison" Baby. That Bob Moore interview must be super old. Can’t say I’ve ever heard it. I’m going to try and find it. He was something. Not to mention R. Stevie’s pops.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:32 haven't been there, recently, but Grimey's Records is a must

	11:36am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:33 Thanks Michael! Will check it out!
	11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: Vegetarian cheese steak?! I think I need this.
	11:36am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:34 The dishiest!
	11:37am Dano59: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 it's played by Josie in 'Valley Girl' and also sits well in a set of 'Marianne'/'Mary Ann' songs
	11:37am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Cactus Blossoms Dylan tribute EP was my only 2023 RSD purchase. I bought it for my son, who is a big fan of both artists.

	11:39am nycmusicnerd: For those who don't know...Amtrak now has "Night Owl" fares between NYC & DC (that includes Philly). In case anyone's thinking about going to Philly to catch a show.
	11:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dano59 @11:37 But not on the soundtrack? I know "Johnny Are You Queer" is, but I don't recall that one from the OST.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:37 one of the Country Westerns guys owns a small bar called Dukes (east nashville, i think) and they have local new music, live.
	11:39am Squints: I think even before MS turned me on to them here, this song grabbed me when they played it in the roadhouse in Ep 1 or 2 of the Twin Peaks return in 2017.
	11:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:37 YFP: Check out the 5 Spot for music.
	11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ @11:35 Nope. I may actually be thinking of that Josie Cotton song. "Year of the Cat" is close.
	11:40am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:40 Will do, Handy! Thank you!
	11:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:39 We went with the traditional NJT-->SEPTA route.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:39 so what would it cost to get to baltimore late at night?
	11:41am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Mississippi" by "Cactus Blossoms, The" I say it all the time. Tyler B is a stellar picker.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: One of our favorite Nashville acts, Tristen, is coming to NYC 6/1, but we already have tickets for the Bug Club that night. We're really torn about what to do. I think the fact that the Bug Club is coming from much farther away is going to be the deciding factor.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:41 Baby - this tasting room will have a stage of some sort, i presume??
	11:42am Xangoir: Song is on twin peaks LP one of my favs
	11:42am yerfriendpaul: ↳ clarke @11:39 Great! So glad I asked! Writing the list of places now- Thanks for the recommendations everyone!
	11:43am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Getting to Brooklyn from NJ is an expensive, long slog.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:42 i haven't been there, but hear it is cool. was supposed to play there, before the... you know.
	11:43am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:42 No, sadly. Long story, but not going to happen.
	11:43am Hoboken Jack: Hey Michael, Jeff, Baby, NYCMnerd, Handy, every mothers' dog Bagpipe, Clarke, Greg, Peter, all!
	11:44am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:43 say it ain't so, baby!! BABY!!
	11:44am Handy Haversack: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @11:43 WFMU HQ is one hour door to door for me, costs $5.50. But it's what we call Near Jersey. Jack! Poor Bagpipe was forced out to go on a run with K8. The cats are napping on top of me in solidarity.
	11:45am Listener Baby: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:43 Howdy Jack!
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:44 bagpipe got it goin' on!!
	11:45am GeoSinPhilly: ↳ Song: "Decisions" by "Ramsey Lewis Trio" I could definitely imagine and NRBQ cover of that one.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:43 'lo jack! still need to see It's Me Marg
	11:46am Artie: Yes! The joint across the street is Joe’s Steaks. I can attest that the non-vegan sandwich is legit and delicious as well, and very filling. Was great to meet Michael & Juniper. Yes, the show was fantastic. And, yes, you should do everything in your power to see them as soon as you can!
	11:46am Scott from Denver: Izaak is similar in tone to the late Justin Townes Earl IMHO.
	11:47am Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:40 i seem to recall wimpy MOR pop hit love song with a male singer ... and that riff /synth
	11:47am nycmusicnerd: ↳ clarke @11:40 Amtrak says: $15 www.amtrak.com...
	11:47am Listener Baby: You know, it would make a great coaster.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:47 nyce nycmn!!
	11:49am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:43 Hey Jack!
	11:49am Handy Haversack: We went to a friend's 50th bday party last night, and his wife had gotten a Cameo video bday greeting for him from Keith Hernandez, who mentioned in passing that he was a little drunk, and K8 says to me, "He must have recorded it right after the Jonesy toast!" So that happened.
	11:50am PaulRobeson1923: What kind of drugs?
	11:50am HyperDose: I love some good ole fashioned master key hijinks
	11:50am Bob: I’m riding in the car with my fifteen year old son. He’s driving me for the time with his driving permit. Do I sound scared? Heading to the Ann Arbor skatepark.
	11:50am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @11:50 I’m wondering Hi Hi Hi
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:50 that must be where Prof is!
	11:52am Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 It would be hilarious to have the band Cameo make a video greeting.
	11:53am Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 It's all fun and games until you're helping to move a twelve-piece sectional sofa.
	11:53am Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @11:52 And cost-effective, I'd wager!
	11:53am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Pusherman" by "Beau Allen" Where you been hiding this one, Baby. Mind blown! Greatest solo ever?
	11:53am pp: I had a master key in college labeled "SM-1", able to open all doors in the building. A thing of the past.
	11:53am PaulRobeson1923: Alcohol is a strong drug
	11:53am HyperDose: ↳ Bob @11:50 Stomp on the phantom brake pedal. Worked for my mom haha
	11:54am clarke: this next song is about living in the past, which is about 99% percent of you.
	11:56am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:54 you idiots out there
	11:56am Andrea C: ↳ clarke @11:54 unless you experience the timespace as Einstein theorized and everything is now anyway. :P
	11:56am Faux Jean: Checking in from cloudy San Diego!
	11:57am Roobs Vida Loca: Holy shit my family used to play and sing this song in Taos, NM!! Such great childhood memories!
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Andrea C @11:56 sounds like you need some rope moved.
	11:58am Andrea C: ↳ clarke @11:57 nah, I got just enough to enjoy thanks :)

	12:21pm egould: I’m visiting family in Indianapolis and listening to Michael Shelley in EDT. I prefer MS at 8:00-10:00 am, but I’ll take what I can get.
	12:22pm clarke: hmm. that is highly illogical.
	12:23pm clarke: isn't indianapolis in central time - i thought the line of demarcation was the indiana/ohio border??
	12:24pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Psychotic Reaction" by "Señor Soul" I believe they became War.

	12:26pm clarke: nice marmot!!
	12:29pm egould: ↳ Song: "Desperado" by "Cactus Blossoms, The" Saw these guys last year in Seattle. So good. I hope they come through again. And soon.
	12:31pm Bob: What are y’all watching? I need some tips. Barry is the only masterpiece I can think of at the moment. It’s just darker than ever this season. I hate Succession. Mrs Maizel took some creative chances this season and the results are mixed.
	12:32pm Bernardo: 2nd time I saw the Cactus Blossoms @ Mercury Lounge - they started an hour late cuz the lead singer was literally trapped in the john 😂
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:31 the new Perry Mason is gold!!
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bob @12:31 Yellowjackets? And we like Somebody Somehwere also. And Mrs. Davis is nicely insane.

	12:35pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:31 also, believe it or not The Last Of Us is pretty great, if you haven't already seen.
	12:36pm clarke: what about when your soundman doesn't know who sings what?
	12:37pm egould: ↳ Bob @12:31 I pretty much just watch NFL and college football. During the off-season, it’s Columbo and Hammer Films schlock.
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @12:37 I'm sure the NFL is working on eliminating the off-season.
	12:39pm HyperDose: I second Yellowjackets. So much suspense and intrigue
	12:39pm egould: I guarantee you will not regret seeing Cactus Blossoms.
	12:39pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:32 Yeah? Good tip. I was wondering about that
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:39 oh, Perry Mason is SO well-done!! closest thing to Chinatown you can get on 'tv'!
	12:41pm Bob: I will check out Yellowjackets. Not familiar
	12:41pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 Yeah. The NFL is getting really good at meting out entertainment and programming. And I freaking love it.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Jack from The Cactus Blossoms" veg-steaks!
	12:44pm clarke: i will have to say that i went down a Columbo rabbit-hole, last year - but stopped around season 5. no shark-jumping, per se, but seems like they started phoning it in.
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: OK, I gotta go see the kelp. Thanks, Michael! Grand show. Later on, Numbers One!
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:44 kelp on, HH.
	12:45pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:39 right!
	12:46pm Bernardo: Brooklyn made is kinda weird - you’re always close to the stage cuz it’s shallow and long but there’s a lot of obstructed views - columns everywhere - BUT they do have a pool
	12:46pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:44 Later dude!
	12:47pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:46 ...as the saucer sled rockets down the hill.
	12:47pm clarke: so messed up i need you here
	12:49pm listener phat in Lincoln: Fun show today! Wish I were in the metro area to see that show.
	12:50pm bobobob: your daughter heard this song??
	12:50pm HungryFreak: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:13 Yah, I know totally. It's not like their thoughts were being governed by logic. I never knew the thing you mentioned until today though. Just another weird "small world" phenom and perhaps weirder, that 40 years later I get more insight.
	12:51pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Bernardo @12:32 I believe the drummer was late and the sound guy played drums for the forst few songs
	12:51pm bobobob plasticland: Lil Similar
	12:55pm Bernardo: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:51 Haha you were there Michael!?? This was yearssss ago. They always put on a Great show! Jack said he was trapped in the bathroom but idk. 😂

	12:56pm egould: Thanks Michael. Will be tuning in next week fo’ sho’!
	12:56pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Song: "It Wasn't Me (alt version)" by "Chuck Berry" Chuck Berry is underrated
