WFMU: The Mike Rogers Show: Playlist from May 10, 2023

Listener comments!
	3:19pm Mike Rogers: Wow! Good Morning! We just had a big earthquake!
	3:20pm Mike Rogers: Nah, it wasn't that big. The house is still standing!
	4:05pm Mr Fab: Yo Mike! What was the Richter scale? Did it knock stuff around your house?
	4:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @4:05 Nah, it was a short one. But it really scared me for s second, when my smart phone started beeping and screaming "An earthquake is coming! An earthquake is coming." It does the a lot actually, but every time is very disconcerting. The giant earthquake that hit Fukushima and the nuclear disaster was really scary. That last for several minutes and water was splashing out out of the aquarium. That one I got under the dining table.... 3 minutes of rocking & rolling! But it happens all the time.
	4:12pm Mike Rogers: This song is great! Darn Accordions - "Fire"
	4:13pm Mike Rogers: It was only 5.4, so it was a baby earthquake.
	4:20pm Mr Fab: 5.4 is pretty good-sized. You'll feel that one. But of course after Fukushima, everything's a breeze.
	4:21pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @4:20 I've gotten so jaded. I've been sitting at an office and people are freaking out and hiding under their desks. I just sit there, No problem... It's a free amusement park ride, I figure.
	4:23pm Mike Rogers: I can only hope some lighting fixtures comes crashing down on my head and kills me. Isn't that double indemnity for my life insurance?
	4:30pm Mike Rogers: I mean, what good is living in Japan, if you don't get killed in a an earthquake?
	4:40pm Mike Rogers: I went to my in laws house the last 3 days (after the big Golden Week holiday). So I made my playlist before I left, but came back a fiddled with it a lot last night.... I have no confidence in today's show!
	4:40pm Mike Rogers: The news is funny, I can guarantee that!
	4:41pm Mike Rogers: Japan 1930 ~ 1945: Thought police everywhere. Japan 2023: Fashion Police!
	4:57pm Mike Rogers: OK. Here we go!
	5:01pm mochy: Mr. Mike Good morning. It's finally the Japan Indies Award next Wednesday.
	5:03pm Mike Rogers: Hey Mochy san! Yep! Next Wednesday!
	5:03pm mochy: マイクさん地震二子玉大丈夫でした？
	5:03pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Jason Bill" by "Texaco Leatherman" that pic is like: live from the sauna!
	5:04pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:03 大丈夫！We are Ok after the earthquake.
	5:05pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @5:03 These guys are crazy!
	5:05pm mochy: よかった。さいたまは大丈夫です。
	5:07pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:05 the cell phone is scary "Earthquake is coming! Earthquake is coming!" 2 seconds before!
	5:08pm Mike Rogers: Going to go to Saturday nite soon.....
	5:08pm Mike Rogers: Japanese Janis Joplin?
	5:13pm mochy: リコさんもナツキさんも来るらしいです。ウッチーさんはトロフィー2個並べようかなって話しました。
	5:14pm Mike Rogers: May 17, 2023. The Japan Indies Music Awards Show! Floppy Pinkies, Tetsuko, Jett Sett! Entrance is Free! (¥1200 for 2 drinks at the door!) Be there!
	5:15pm Mike Rogers: ウッチーさんは誰ですか？Who is Uchi san?
	5:15pm mochy: フロッピーピンキーズのくみこさんです。
	5:16pm Mike Rogers: Fadeways just returned to Japan from a massive Germany tour!
	5:17pm Mike Rogers: It should be against the law for punk and metal bands to do ballads!
	5:18pm Mike Rogers: Next might be my favorite 50 Kaitenz song! Thunder Boy!
	5:18pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:16 Beg them to play the US!
	5:18pm Mike Rogers: Japanese rock... Rocks!
	5:19pm mochy: I did it. Now that I think about it, both Floppy pinkies and Fadaways It's the band that went to see the indie live first.
	5:19pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @5:18 I think they might be going later this year! If they do, I'll get you & yours in for FREE!
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: Isn't it amazing that I am the only one that plays this cool music in Japan?
	5:21pm mochy: たしかに。他の人どうしたのかな？
	5:21pm Mike Rogers: Tomboys are playing UK, or is it Germany right now!
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:21 It's because in Japan, DJs are not DJs, they are talent and the shitty directors pick all the music.
	5:23pm Mike Rogers: 10 people in a studio to run one show. Waste of money!
	5:27pm mochy: Certainly. I don't know the little bit. Because beatles 10 also left one staff member. I wonder if there are three of us now? I have to ask tomoko-san next time. I don't know..
	5:28pm Mr Fab: how does Japan feel about internet radio playing Japanese music?
	5:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:27 I'll bet there are at least 5 people!
	5:29pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @5:28 If I spoke Japanese all the time, I hear JASRAC, might shit on our heads. Really!
	5:30pm mochy: I think mike-san probably knows better. It seems that the rules of Japanese pod cast are strict.
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:30 I know Samurai FM was closed down. Even though they were broadcasting from Singapore, they spoke Japanese all the time. I hear that's why they were closed down. The Fashion Police? We go the radio police too!
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:30 Yeah. Podcasting in no where near as popular as the uSA here in Japan!
	5:36pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @5:28 Podcasting in no where near as popular as the uSA here in Japan!
	5:38pm laurapanic: Good morning team! in my pjs, getting kids ready for school...dancing around to Mike's tunes!!
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @5:38 Hi Laura san! Goooood morning!
	5:42pm mochy: It seems that pan-san is often in the top beat club. Mike-san, let's go sometime.
	5:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @5:38 Wait! The kids aren't out of school now? When is your school season from/to?
	5:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:42 Mochy san! You know that Pan san owns the Top Beat Club?
	5:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:43 He must be a scary boss to work for!!!!
	5:43pm Max D: Hi Mike, fellow listeners! I've listened in to your show a few times now and just wanted to pop-in on the chat and tell you how much I'm enjoying it.
	5:44pm mochy: My children are going to school again today. My third son was ensoku in Yokohama yesterday.
	5:44pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:43 Hi Max D san! Welcome! We have a rule here, though.... First time listeners must buy a round of beers for everyone! ;)
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:44 It's not summer holidays yet?
	5:46pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:44 You got it! What's the consensus beer-of-choice?
	5:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:44 What is "Ensoku"?
	5:47pm mochy: 遠足です
	5:47pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:46 Ha! Ha! Ha! I don't drink!!!! He, he, he.... Quit nearly too years ago.... Getting old, don't ya know!
	5:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:47 I mean, have gotten old!
	5:49pm mochy: But I went to Yokohama It seems that there is only Chinatown and the Cup Noodle Museum.
	5:49pm Mike Rogers: Two years ago!
	5:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:49 Are you kidding me? A "Cup Noodle Museum" WTF????
	5:50pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:47 I hear you there! I've had to drastically limit my consumption of late for reasons of aging, too. Btw, I just discovered Teengenerate on Terre T's Holligan show last week. Blisteringly good!
	5:50pm Aitch: Late in, but home again from the hospital.
	5:52pm Max D: ↳ Aitch @5:50 Hi Aitch, and yikes!
	5:52pm mochy: I can't drink alcohol the other day. A friend who likes a drinking party Sake without alcohol I was drinking it, but it seems that the taste was sake itself. It seems that he got a little drunk even without alcohol.
	5:52pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:50 Teengenerate are awesome! Check out Firestarter too (same lead vocalist!)
	5:53pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:50 Aitch san! You OK????
	5:53pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:52 Nice! Will do!
	5:54pm laurapanic: I like this Bowie cover...I don't really care about Bowie but these guys are having fun
	5:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:53 There is also a documentary about Teengenerate. They are Legendary in Japan... But Fifi is the nicest guy you could ever hope to meet. He runs a bar in Shimokitazawa. Come here and I'll take you there!
	5:55pm Aitch: Quite like the Bowie cover, kinda fun.
	5:56pm mochy: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bDBVqKWa8UXbiMdU8 このバンド？
	5:56pm Mr Fab: ↳ laurapanic @5:54 ".I don't really care about Bowie" - heresy!
	5:56pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @5:54 Really! Cool! It is definitely different than the original!
	5:56pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:55 Thanks Aitch san!
	5:57pm Mike Rogers: This girl reminds me of Little Nell (Rock Horror) or Polystyrene (X-Ray Spex)
	5:58pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @5:56 Yeah. I was speechless!
	5:58pm Mike Rogers: This band has awesome harmonies!
	5:59pm mochy: るせるせるせるせ〜 We all have to sing a big chorus next week!
	5:59pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:54 That's awesome! I'll look forward to that eventuality!
	6:00pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:59 Yeah! "Lu Se, lu se, lu se" Everyone is going to be singing that at the Japan indies music awards!
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:59 Max D san, it is a really good documentary.... For some reason, the Japanese are pretty good at using cameras!
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:59 Oh, the lead singer and the guitarist are brothers.... And THEY NEVER FIGHT!!!!
	6:02pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:01 Haha! (I've also been on a Seijun Suzuki kick of late.) I'm looking for it here. I'm in the US (Seattle).
	6:03pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:01 Astounding!
	6:04pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @5:56 so much of that old stuff, doesn't speak to me. It isn't made for me.
	6:08pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:02 I've been to Seattle once! Many years ago. It was a small city (I think)
	6:08pm Feldy: Hiya Mike san!
	6:10pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @5:56 I've been playing side 1 of Diamond Dogs. Blew me away as a kid, on proper headphones it's whole other level.
	6:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @6:04 Well, what do you think. Mr. Fab? I vote for allowing Laura into our Cool Music club.... We just won't talk about Bowie! ;)
	6:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:03 Really. I fought with my brothers constantly.
	6:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Feldy @6:08 Hi Feldy san!!!!!! What's up with you?
	6:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Feldy @6:08 Congrats on the Beatles Festivals! I got one more HUGE one to announce soon!
	6:12pm laurapanic: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:10 you KNOW I'm too cool for a club called cool. Hahaha
	6:12pm Mike Rogers: Everyone! Feldy san was the artist responsible for the cool Yoko poster!
	6:13pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @6:12 Good Point! "The Uncool music Club!"
	6:13pm laurapanic: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:13 Perfect!
	6:14pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Paradise War" by "Jett Sett" This band really good
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @6:13 Geeks and dorks ONLY!
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @6:14 Yeah! They rock!
	6:15pm mochy: Jett sett this Sunday evening at oomori It seems that there is a free live.
	6:15pm Mike Rogers: They are the opening band on May 17!
	6:16pm mochy: やったあー楽しみ😊
	6:16pm Mr Fab: love Teengenerate but not familiar with Firestarter. Same style?
	6:16pm Aitch: When people ask me what I've been listening to lately, I can't tell them, just so much on here, and so much I've never heard I just look at them blankly, mumbling something about floppy pinkies or alien nose jobs...
	6:18pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @6:16 True punks only Punk, Mr. Fab! That's the law!
	6:19pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @6:15 What? They did tell me! Bands never tell me!
	6:19pm Max D: ↳ Aitch @6:16 For real! I'm trying to get anyone here to go see Schizophonics with me at a tiny club here and they look at me as I go on and drool, and just shake their heads.
	6:19pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @6:16 Ha! Ha! Ha! Me too!
	6:20pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:19 I love the schizophonics!
	6:20pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:19 I mean they didn't tell me!
	6:22pm Mike Rogers: This is KFC: Kidder Friendly Club! These girls are so cute!!!!!
	6:22pm Feldy: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:11 Busy day! So excited for Grapefruit to screen in San Diego
	6:23pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:19 Tiny Clubs are the best. I think it is crazy to spend a lot of money to go to some huge assed place and hear a band and the sound is crap. I quit going in 1990 when I saw Boiwe at Tokyo Dome. It was like being in an airplane hanger and I was in the 8th row!
	6:25pm Aitch: ↳ Max D @6:19 I saw them here in Sydney a few weeks ago. Wild man
	6:25pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Feldy @6:22 Feldy the screenings are only going to get bigger! After the HUGE announcement, I wanna discuss with you what we should do.
	6:26pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:25 Destiny calls us.
	6:27pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:23 Exactly. I won't do arena shows any more, either.
	6:27pm mochy: そろそろ仕事に入ります。ありがとうございました😊
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Feldy @6:22 Will you go? Don't spend a bunch of money! I can get you in for free, but can't do shit about airplane or hotel...
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @6:27 Mochy san!頑張ってください！
	6:28pm mochy: ありがとうございます😊
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:27 Yeah, I heard people were paying like $500 to go see some concert in an arena. I thought, "These people are nuts!"
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @6:28 Have fun!!!!
	6:32pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:27 I definitely never go to outdoor festivals. I went to (I forget the name) in 1975. Aerosmit were on stage and the wind was blowing really hard.... Couldn’t hear them... And I hate stading at the porta-potty. I want　to relax, have fun, and NOT stand in a stinky line to go to a port potty!!!!! No!!!!!!
	6:39pm Mike Rogers: The last time (2nd time) I went to a summer festival in Japan (you guys know how hot is is in summer in Japan). It was blazing hot. We were sitting in an air conditioned tent. The someone came in and said "Metallica is coming on stage now!" We got up to go, walked out of the tent. I started melting and went back into the tent.... No way, I was going to have a heatstroke to see Metallica. No way!
	6:39pm Hunterian: Good decision, Mike.
	6:41pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Hunterian @6:39 Hey Hunterian san! Glad to see SOMEONE is paying attention! ;)
	6:41pm Hunterian: Also, the proximity of "porta-potty" to "outdoor festivals" in your penultimate comment only shows that great minds associate alike.
	6:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Hunterian @6:41 Bwa! Ha! Ha! I mean, if you go, you have to drink, right? What's the next step?
	6:43pm Mike Rogers: It's bad enough you have to walk 50 to 100 yards to get to the port potty, but then you have to stand in line???? What kind of shit it that?
	6:43pm Hunterian: So to speak…
	6:45pm Hunterian: Outdoor festivals are the bane of the line-averse.
	6:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Hunterian @6:45 What do they call those bottle hospitals use for people to piss in? Should sell those at festivals!
	6:47pm Mike Rogers: Piss bottles, beer, and cotton candy for the kids... With a twisted clown making the cotton candy for the kids.
	6:48pm Max D: I always see Dennis Hooper when I hear In Dreams.
	6:48pm Hunterian: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:46 They do sell them at festivals. Google "Stadium Pal."
	6:49pm Mike Rogers: I got the twisted clown idea from Dennis Hopper. That movie scared the shit out of me!
	6:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Hunterian @6:48 Damn! Story of my life. Day late and a dollar short!
	6:50pm Max D: Freaky as hell. I recently watched Human Highway and Inland Empire. Also the stuff nightmares are made of.
	6:51pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:50 That movie reminded me of people I knew. That's what scared the shit outta me.
	6:52pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:50 I don't know Human Highway and Inland Empire. Should I see those?
	6:52pm Mr Fab: I remade a scene from Blue Velvet for my uni film directing class, inc playing "In Dreams." I got an A!
	6:53pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @6:52 I want to see it, Mr. Fab!!!!!
	6:54pm Mike Rogers: You studied cinema too? So did I! But I switched to TV when I was a junior.
	6:55pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @6:52 All the students had to write their opinion of our scenes (which were done live, so sorry you can't see it. One student gave it a 'zero' and said 'no socially redeeming value.' David Lynch is not for everyone...
	6:55pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:52 Both really good. In both David Lynch has you constantly asking yourself what is real? Laura Dern is especially good in Inland Empire, playing two roles in the same mind.
	6:55pm Mike Rogers: Because I figured out that, since I have no family in movies or TV, Tv was the best chance to make some money. I figured "No way!" to make money on movies.... Hey! And I was right!!!
	6:56pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:54 I majored in "Radio-TV-Film." Thought i'd get into filmmaking, but once I was on the campus radio station, it was all over...
	6:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @6:55 That's perfect, you want all 10s or 0s! No in between wimpy reviews. People have to love it or absolutely hate it. That's the best!
	6:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @6:56 Damn we should have been nuclear physicists!
	6:59pm Max D: Thanks, Mike san! So glad I stopped in! Look forward to the show on S A T U R D A Y Night!
	7:00pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:59 Me too! Thanks Max D san!
	7:00pm Aitch: Thanks Mike, check you out Sunday morning!
	7:00pm Hunterian: Strong ending! Great show, Mike!
	7:00pm Mr Fab: Thanks for the rocks and the rolls Mike!
	7:01pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @7:00 Thanks Aitch san!!!!!
	7:01pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @7:00 Thanks Mr. Fab!!!!
	7:01pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Mochy san!
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Hunterian san!
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Feldy san!
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Laura san!

		May I ask a favor from you? Please subscribe to my Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/user/mikeintokyo2004
Let me tell you about Elliot Grove the founder of Raindance Film Festival...		He was raised a Mennonite as a kid. It's is a sect of Amish (you probably know that already). So when he was a kid, no electricity or anything. One day, as a 16 year old boy, he had to drive the horse carriage into town to have horse shoes changed. He gets to the Blacksmiths place, and usually it takes 20 minutes, but this time, the blacksmith was really busy and he said, "Three hours." What was he going to do? So all his life, his parents told him, "Never dance" because that is the first step to having sex. Never this or that... But definitely never ever go to a movie theater, because that's where the devil lives (no shit). So, being a kid, he wondered what the devil looked like. He went to the theater and paid $0.95 cents and went in. He was awestruck by the house of the devil. It was built sort of like a church. Excepting the seats had red velvet on them. As you know, red is the color of the devil. He was so shocked when they turned the lights down in the theater. He was so afraid but he wondered what the devil looked like. The movie started and he didn't know what he was seeing. But he cried, and cried like a baby. When the movie was over he walked to the screen and felt it... Where had the movie gone? He was so shaken by the experience. He was hooked and fell in love with movies. The movie he saw? "Come Home Lassie!"

	3:19pm Mike Rogers: Wow! Good Morning! We just had a big earthquake!
	3:20pm Mike Rogers: Nah, it wasn't that big. The house is still standing!
	4:05pm Mr Fab: Yo Mike! What was the Richter scale? Did it knock stuff around your house?
	4:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @4:05 Nah, it was a short one. But it really scared me for s second, when my smart phone started beeping and screaming "An earthquake is coming! An earthquake is coming." It does the a lot actually, but every time is very disconcerting. The giant earthquake that hit Fukushima and the nuclear disaster was really scary. That last for several minutes and water was splashing out out of the aquarium. That one I got under the dining table.... 3 minutes of rocking & rolling! But it happens all the time.
	4:12pm Mike Rogers: This song is great! Darn Accordions - "Fire"
	4:13pm Mike Rogers: It was only 5.4, so it was a baby earthquake.
	4:20pm Mr Fab: 5.4 is pretty good-sized. You'll feel that one. But of course after Fukushima, everything's a breeze.
	4:21pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @4:20 I've gotten so jaded. I've been sitting at an office and people are freaking out and hiding under their desks. I just sit there, No problem... It's a free amusement park ride, I figure.
	4:23pm Mike Rogers: I can only hope some lighting fixtures comes crashing down on my head and kills me. Isn't that double indemnity for my life insurance?
	4:30pm Mike Rogers: I mean, what good is living in Japan, if you don't get killed in a an earthquake?
	4:40pm Mike Rogers: I went to my in laws house the last 3 days (after the big Golden Week holiday). So I made my playlist before I left, but came back a fiddled with it a lot last night.... I have no confidence in today's show!
	4:40pm Mike Rogers: The news is funny, I can guarantee that!
	4:41pm Mike Rogers: Japan 1930 ~ 1945: Thought police everywhere. Japan 2023: Fashion Police!
	4:57pm Mike Rogers: OK. Here we go!
	5:01pm mochy: Mr. Mike Good morning. It's finally the Japan Indies Award next Wednesday.
	5:03pm Mike Rogers: Hey Mochy san! Yep! Next Wednesday!
	5:03pm mochy: マイクさん地震二子玉大丈夫でした？
	5:03pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Jason Bill" by "Texaco Leatherman" that pic is like: live from the sauna!
	5:04pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:03 大丈夫！We are Ok after the earthquake.
	5:05pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @5:03 These guys are crazy!
	5:05pm mochy: よかった。さいたまは大丈夫です。
	5:07pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:05 the cell phone is scary "Earthquake is coming! Earthquake is coming!" 2 seconds before!
	5:08pm Mike Rogers: Going to go to Saturday nite soon.....
	5:08pm Mike Rogers: Japanese Janis Joplin?
	5:13pm mochy: リコさんもナツキさんも来るらしいです。ウッチーさんはトロフィー2個並べようかなって話しました。
	5:14pm Mike Rogers: May 17, 2023. The Japan Indies Music Awards Show! Floppy Pinkies, Tetsuko, Jett Sett! Entrance is Free! (¥1200 for 2 drinks at the door!) Be there!
	5:15pm Mike Rogers: ウッチーさんは誰ですか？Who is Uchi san?
	5:15pm mochy: フロッピーピンキーズのくみこさんです。
	5:16pm Mike Rogers: Fadeways just returned to Japan from a massive Germany tour!
	5:17pm Mike Rogers: It should be against the law for punk and metal bands to do ballads!
	5:18pm Mike Rogers: Next might be my favorite 50 Kaitenz song! Thunder Boy!
	5:18pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:16 Beg them to play the US!
	5:18pm Mike Rogers: Japanese rock... Rocks!
	5:19pm mochy: I did it. Now that I think about it, both Floppy pinkies and Fadaways It's the band that went to see the indie live first.
	5:19pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @5:18 I think they might be going later this year! If they do, I'll get you & yours in for FREE!
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: Isn't it amazing that I am the only one that plays this cool music in Japan?
	5:21pm mochy: たしかに。他の人どうしたのかな？
	5:21pm Mike Rogers: Tomboys are playing UK, or is it Germany right now!
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:21 It's because in Japan, DJs are not DJs, they are talent and the shitty directors pick all the music.
	5:23pm Mike Rogers: 10 people in a studio to run one show. Waste of money!
	5:27pm mochy: Certainly. I don't know the little bit. Because beatles 10 also left one staff member. I wonder if there are three of us now? I have to ask tomoko-san next time. I don't know..
	5:28pm Mr Fab: how does Japan feel about internet radio playing Japanese music?
	5:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:27 I'll bet there are at least 5 people!
	5:29pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @5:28 If I spoke Japanese all the time, I hear JASRAC, might shit on our heads. Really!
	5:30pm mochy: I think mike-san probably knows better. It seems that the rules of Japanese pod cast are strict.
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:30 I know Samurai FM was closed down. Even though they were broadcasting from Singapore, they spoke Japanese all the time. I hear that's why they were closed down. The Fashion Police? We go the radio police too!
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:30 Yeah. Podcasting in no where near as popular as the uSA here in Japan!
	5:36pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @5:28 Podcasting in no where near as popular as the uSA here in Japan!
	5:38pm laurapanic: Good morning team! in my pjs, getting kids ready for school...dancing around to Mike's tunes!!
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @5:38 Hi Laura san! Goooood morning!
	5:42pm mochy: It seems that pan-san is often in the top beat club. Mike-san, let's go sometime.
	5:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @5:38 Wait! The kids aren't out of school now? When is your school season from/to?
	5:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:42 Mochy san! You know that Pan san owns the Top Beat Club?
	5:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:43 He must be a scary boss to work for!!!!
	5:43pm Max D: Hi Mike, fellow listeners! I've listened in to your show a few times now and just wanted to pop-in on the chat and tell you how much I'm enjoying it.
	5:44pm mochy: My children are going to school again today. My third son was ensoku in Yokohama yesterday.
	5:44pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:43 Hi Max D san! Welcome! We have a rule here, though.... First time listeners must buy a round of beers for everyone! ;)
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:44 It's not summer holidays yet?
	5:46pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:44 You got it! What's the consensus beer-of-choice?
	5:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:44 What is "Ensoku"?
	5:47pm mochy: 遠足です
	5:47pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:46 Ha! Ha! Ha! I don't drink!!!! He, he, he.... Quit nearly too years ago.... Getting old, don't ya know!
	5:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:47 I mean, have gotten old!
	5:49pm mochy: But I went to Yokohama It seems that there is only Chinatown and the Cup Noodle Museum.
	5:49pm Mike Rogers: Two years ago!
	5:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:49 Are you kidding me? A "Cup Noodle Museum" WTF????
	5:50pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:47 I hear you there! I've had to drastically limit my consumption of late for reasons of aging, too. Btw, I just discovered Teengenerate on Terre T's Holligan show last week. Blisteringly good!
	5:50pm Aitch: Late in, but home again from the hospital.
	5:52pm Max D: ↳ Aitch @5:50 Hi Aitch, and yikes!
	5:52pm mochy: I can't drink alcohol the other day. A friend who likes a drinking party Sake without alcohol I was drinking it, but it seems that the taste was sake itself. It seems that he got a little drunk even without alcohol.
	5:52pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:50 Teengenerate are awesome! Check out Firestarter too (same lead vocalist!)
	5:53pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:50 Aitch san! You OK????
	5:53pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:52 Nice! Will do!
	5:54pm laurapanic: I like this Bowie cover...I don't really care about Bowie but these guys are having fun
	5:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:53 There is also a documentary about Teengenerate. They are Legendary in Japan... But Fifi is the nicest guy you could ever hope to meet. He runs a bar in Shimokitazawa. Come here and I'll take you there!
	5:55pm Aitch: Quite like the Bowie cover, kinda fun.
	5:56pm mochy: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bDBVqKWa8UXbiMdU8 このバンド？
	5:56pm Mr Fab: ↳ laurapanic @5:54 ".I don't really care about Bowie" - heresy!
	5:56pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @5:54 Really! Cool! It is definitely different than the original!
	5:56pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:55 Thanks Aitch san!
	5:57pm Mike Rogers: This girl reminds me of Little Nell (Rock Horror) or Polystyrene (X-Ray Spex)
	5:58pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @5:56 Yeah. I was speechless!
	5:58pm Mike Rogers: This band has awesome harmonies!
	5:59pm mochy: るせるせるせるせ〜 We all have to sing a big chorus next week!
	5:59pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:54 That's awesome! I'll look forward to that eventuality!
	6:00pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:59 Yeah! "Lu Se, lu se, lu se" Everyone is going to be singing that at the Japan indies music awards!
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:59 Max D san, it is a really good documentary.... For some reason, the Japanese are pretty good at using cameras!
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @5:59 Oh, the lead singer and the guitarist are brothers.... And THEY NEVER FIGHT!!!!
	6:02pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:01 Haha! (I've also been on a Seijun Suzuki kick of late.) I'm looking for it here. I'm in the US (Seattle).
	6:03pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:01 Astounding!
	6:04pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @5:56 so much of that old stuff, doesn't speak to me. It isn't made for me.
	6:08pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:02 I've been to Seattle once! Many years ago. It was a small city (I think)
	6:08pm Feldy: Hiya Mike san!
	6:10pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @5:56 I've been playing side 1 of Diamond Dogs. Blew me away as a kid, on proper headphones it's whole other level.
	6:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @6:04 Well, what do you think. Mr. Fab? I vote for allowing Laura into our Cool Music club.... We just won't talk about Bowie! ;)
	6:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:03 Really. I fought with my brothers constantly.
	6:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Feldy @6:08 Hi Feldy san!!!!!! What's up with you?
	6:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Feldy @6:08 Congrats on the Beatles Festivals! I got one more HUGE one to announce soon!
	6:12pm laurapanic: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:10 you KNOW I'm too cool for a club called cool. Hahaha
	6:12pm Mike Rogers: Everyone! Feldy san was the artist responsible for the cool Yoko poster!
	6:13pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @6:12 Good Point! "The Uncool music Club!"
	6:13pm laurapanic: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:13 Perfect!
	6:14pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Paradise War" by "Jett Sett" This band really good
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: ↳ laurapanic @6:13 Geeks and dorks ONLY!
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @6:14 Yeah! They rock!
	6:15pm mochy: Jett sett this Sunday evening at oomori It seems that there is a free live.
	6:15pm Mike Rogers: They are the opening band on May 17!
	6:16pm mochy: やったあー楽しみ😊
	6:16pm Mr Fab: love Teengenerate but not familiar with Firestarter. Same style?
	6:16pm Aitch: When people ask me what I've been listening to lately, I can't tell them, just so much on here, and so much I've never heard I just look at them blankly, mumbling something about floppy pinkies or alien nose jobs...
	6:18pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @6:16 True punks only Punk, Mr. Fab! That's the law!
	6:19pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @6:15 What? They did tell me! Bands never tell me!
	6:19pm Max D: ↳ Aitch @6:16 For real! I'm trying to get anyone here to go see Schizophonics with me at a tiny club here and they look at me as I go on and drool, and just shake their heads.
	6:19pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @6:16 Ha! Ha! Ha! Me too!
	6:20pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:19 I love the schizophonics!
	6:20pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:19 I mean they didn't tell me!
	6:22pm Mike Rogers: This is KFC: Kidder Friendly Club! These girls are so cute!!!!!
	6:22pm Feldy: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:11 Busy day! So excited for Grapefruit to screen in San Diego
	6:23pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:19 Tiny Clubs are the best. I think it is crazy to spend a lot of money to go to some huge assed place and hear a band and the sound is crap. I quit going in 1990 when I saw Boiwe at Tokyo Dome. It was like being in an airplane hanger and I was in the 8th row!
	6:25pm Aitch: ↳ Max D @6:19 I saw them here in Sydney a few weeks ago. Wild man
	6:25pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Feldy @6:22 Feldy the screenings are only going to get bigger! After the HUGE announcement, I wanna discuss with you what we should do.
	6:26pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:25 Destiny calls us.
	6:27pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:23 Exactly. I won't do arena shows any more, either.
	6:27pm mochy: そろそろ仕事に入ります。ありがとうございました😊
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Feldy @6:22 Will you go? Don't spend a bunch of money! I can get you in for free, but can't do shit about airplane or hotel...
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @6:27 Mochy san!頑張ってください！
	6:28pm mochy: ありがとうございます😊
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:27 Yeah, I heard people were paying like $500 to go see some concert in an arena. I thought, "These people are nuts!"
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @6:28 Have fun!!!!
	6:32pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:27 I definitely never go to outdoor festivals. I went to (I forget the name) in 1975. Aerosmit were on stage and the wind was blowing really hard.... Couldn’t hear them... And I hate stading at the porta-potty. I want　to relax, have fun, and NOT stand in a stinky line to go to a port potty!!!!! No!!!!!!
	6:39pm Mike Rogers: The last time (2nd time) I went to a summer festival in Japan (you guys know how hot is is in summer in Japan). It was blazing hot. We were sitting in an air conditioned tent. The someone came in and said "Metallica is coming on stage now!" We got up to go, walked out of the tent. I started melting and went back into the tent.... No way, I was going to have a heatstroke to see Metallica. No way!
	6:39pm Hunterian: Good decision, Mike.
	6:41pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Hunterian @6:39 Hey Hunterian san! Glad to see SOMEONE is paying attention! ;)
	6:41pm Hunterian: Also, the proximity of "porta-potty" to "outdoor festivals" in your penultimate comment only shows that great minds associate alike.
	6:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Hunterian @6:41 Bwa! Ha! Ha! I mean, if you go, you have to drink, right? What's the next step?
	6:43pm Mike Rogers: It's bad enough you have to walk 50 to 100 yards to get to the port potty, but then you have to stand in line???? What kind of shit it that?
	6:43pm Hunterian: So to speak…
	6:45pm Hunterian: Outdoor festivals are the bane of the line-averse.
	6:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Hunterian @6:45 What do they call those bottle hospitals use for people to piss in? Should sell those at festivals!
	6:47pm Mike Rogers: Piss bottles, beer, and cotton candy for the kids... With a twisted clown making the cotton candy for the kids.
	6:48pm Max D: I always see Dennis Hooper when I hear In Dreams.
	6:48pm Hunterian: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:46 They do sell them at festivals. Google "Stadium Pal."
	6:49pm Mike Rogers: I got the twisted clown idea from Dennis Hopper. That movie scared the shit out of me!
	6:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Hunterian @6:48 Damn! Story of my life. Day late and a dollar short!
	6:50pm Max D: Freaky as hell. I recently watched Human Highway and Inland Empire. Also the stuff nightmares are made of.
	6:51pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:50 That movie reminded me of people I knew. That's what scared the shit outta me.
	6:52pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:50 I don't know Human Highway and Inland Empire. Should I see those?
	6:52pm Mr Fab: I remade a scene from Blue Velvet for my uni film directing class, inc playing "In Dreams." I got an A!
	6:53pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @6:52 I want to see it, Mr. Fab!!!!!
	6:54pm Mike Rogers: You studied cinema too? So did I! But I switched to TV when I was a junior.
	6:55pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @6:52 All the students had to write their opinion of our scenes (which were done live, so sorry you can't see it. One student gave it a 'zero' and said 'no socially redeeming value.' David Lynch is not for everyone...
	6:55pm Max D: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:52 Both really good. In both David Lynch has you constantly asking yourself what is real? Laura Dern is especially good in Inland Empire, playing two roles in the same mind.
	6:55pm Mike Rogers: Because I figured out that, since I have no family in movies or TV, Tv was the best chance to make some money. I figured "No way!" to make money on movies.... Hey! And I was right!!!
	6:56pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @6:54 I majored in "Radio-TV-Film." Thought i'd get into filmmaking, but once I was on the campus radio station, it was all over...
	6:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @6:55 That's perfect, you want all 10s or 0s! No in between wimpy reviews. People have to love it or absolutely hate it. That's the best!
	6:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @6:56 Damn we should have been nuclear physicists!
	6:59pm Max D: Thanks, Mike san! So glad I stopped in! Look forward to the show on S A T U R D A Y Night!
	7:00pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Max D @6:59 Me too! Thanks Max D san!
	7:00pm Aitch: Thanks Mike, check you out Sunday morning!
	7:00pm Hunterian: Strong ending! Great show, Mike!
	7:00pm Mr Fab: Thanks for the rocks and the rolls Mike!
	7:01pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @7:00 Thanks Aitch san!!!!!
	7:01pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @7:00 Thanks Mr. Fab!!!!
	7:01pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Mochy san!
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Hunterian san!
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Feldy san!
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Laura san!
