	11:07am paul: ↳ Adammets @11:02 Very cool!
	11:07am Squints: EC delivered at Tanglewood last Saturday, age- and speculative infirmity-adjusted. Bob (I think, last week) was right that Charlie Sexton neither added nor detracted. But probably ill-advised for Elvis to engage in a guitar duel with him. My ONLY complaint with Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets was that the set was too short.
	11:08am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:06 Hey Handy! Let's see what happens. Was hoping for a quiet weekend in, but it's hard to say no to a local show.

	11:12am clarke: mister, mister! can we have our ball back?
	11:12am Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:11 I mean, I get it. It wasn't their show. But I'd have happily had more.
	11:13am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:12 There was never a ball in a single Mister Mister video.
	11:13am Squints: We fought the war for your sort.
	11:13am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Squints @11:12 Right. I get it too. Did NL come out & play with EC at the end of the show?
	11:14am prof.fuzz: greetings from howdy arabia!
	11:14am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	11:15am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	11:15am Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:13 Sadly not. But by the PL&U closer I was pretty beered up. But I like to think I'd have remembered.
	11:15am myron feld: ↳ Squints @11:13 "Bet you're sorry you won!"
	11:16am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:15 squints is very clean.
	11:16am Squints: Were any Bernard Purdies injured in the making of this record?
	11:17am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "I Get Mad, So Mad" by "Billy Fayard" Reminds me of Joe Jackson's "I'm Mad At You"
	11:18am SecretSquirrel: This Billy Fayard track is gear
	11:19am Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:08 Sounds good!
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:19 how did that game go the other day?
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: Ugh!
	11:20am prof.fuzz: hi handy! nycmn! FIQ! RevRab! et al.!
	11:20am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Hard To Handle" by "Tony Joe White" Love this classic. Just now I'm thinking this could be a killer Hip-Hop cover.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:20 hey Prof!
	11:21am clarke: those things are mutually exclusive.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:20 In the park? HOT. My god. And so humid that cormorants were flying around. It was a "just for fun" league, and even I felt a little bad. I pitched, gave up four runs. We beat them by 20, I think. In your FACE, Financial Times. Hey, prof.!
	11:22am prof.fuzz: ↳ Bob Barth @11:20 i'm a fan of the TJW "Deep Cuts" record (hip hoppy remixes of TJW hits)
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:21 those Financial Times fucks!!
	11:22am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Saw a band from Memphis called Southern Avenue last night. UNREAL! See them if you can.
	11:22am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "I Get Mad, So Mad" by "Billy Fayard" "Hey, Paul plays with a pick, so I'll play this with a pick, and I'll play something totally different from what I would usually do", said the bass player. Interesting song. We know the Beatles were influenced by American R&B, and a song like that shows details that distinguished what the Beatles did, from the R&B that influenced them.
	11:23am Bob Barth: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:22 cool - checkin' it out
	11:23am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:21 Yikes, I can't imagine doing anything athletic in this heat. I hung around at work for 2 extra hours yesterday because I went to a concert last night & I didn't want to be wandering around the city for hours in the heat waiting for the doors to open.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ McGroovey @11:22 and also, Nine Roses is in gretna.
	11:25am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Background To A Music" by "Bo Diddley" and just like that, unemployment is down again! thanks bo!

	11:33am ledzeppelinsucks: Drop kick classic rock into oblivion.
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:31 That new album sounds great.
	11:34am nycmusicnerd: That's what I'm hoping for at the Beacon this week.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:34 yeah - i didn't realize that tommy pretty much did everything on the first Bash & Pop, himself (escept drooms).
	11:36am Andres: ↳ Geoffrey in Ottawa @11:32 Sounds like Bluesfest days. Loved all the outdoor fests the summer I spent there.
	11:36am Frank In Queens: ↳ ledzeppelinsucks @11:33 Yeah, good luck with that.
	11:37am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:35 I love that album.
	11:37am drr: Sounds like Sleepy hired the PAMS Singers.

	11:44am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:44 You've got a good feel for those things
	11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "How Do You Know" by "Lyres, The" Hot damn.
	11:44am clarke: volume PEGGED!!!
	11:45am drr: I see James Hunter Six is playing the Zoo Bar, they've got a few #1 Hits if I'm not mistaken, and I might be.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Cat" by "Jimmy Smith" Know from the faithful cover by the James Taylor Quartet (...a different one...)
	11:45am drr: ↳ clarke @11:44 If he'd just fix that guitar they'd find success in no time.
	11:46am Squints: ↳ drr @11:45 You're only mistaken in the sense that where JH6 Six is concerned, Ill take the over. Lotta numbah 1s, theah. Love those guys.
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "How Do You Know" by "Lyres, The" Pride of NewEngland.
	11:46am clarke: it's all fixed.
	11:47am dk50b: ↳ Song: "How Do You Know" by "Lyres, The" Heard that warbling tremolo, and thought this sounds like "I Want to Help You Ann"
	11:47am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:46 Reducers fans <raises hand> might quibble. But there's a better than fair case.
	11:48am Peter Horvath: Good almost afternoon, Michael & all the #1’ers.
	11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @11:45 Oh shit, yeah. I'd completely spaced that.
	11:49am Joey!: Great track!! I have on those releases "The Immediate Story" lps. Lots of treasures heard on those! Thank for playing Mike!
	11:49am clarke: gotta git yo' mind right, boy!
	11:50am SecretSquirrel: Digging the swagger of this Dylan cover
	11:50am Handy Haversack: clarke, I'll tell efd and Figgsrock on Wed., but reaching out to the band seemed to work: Connells live LP just arrived.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 i think WFMU caused that. me.
	11:51am Andres: ↳ SecretSquirrel @11:50 Cover?! Sounded like the man himself.
	11:52am clarke: and those fucks down at the league office.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Song: "Love You Back To Georgia" by "Bolt Upright" name progenation: Beverly Hillbillies.

	11:54am clarke: that guitar solo is messed up!! great!
	11:55am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Love You Back To Georgia" by "Bolt Upright" sweet song
	11:55am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Love You Back To Georgia" by "Bolt Upright" Can't tell you why I think this, but that sure sounded Canadian.
	11:55am Andres: ↳ Song: "Love You Back To Georgia" by "Bolt Upright" Bolt Upright and The Erections from Ottawa? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lpOeaKmqxwM
	11:56am egould: ↳ clarke @11:52 Walter…
	11:56am clarke: Warning: Studio A speakers now have the same representation as Turntable #1.
	11:56am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "But It's Alright" by "J.J. Jackson" Come to think of it, if there's a #1 hits bar in Lincoln, it's the Zoo
	11:57am prof.fuzz: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:55 if so, then they've got a lot of time for lovin' all the way back to georgia every night...
	11:57am Dano59: ↳ Song: "But It's Alright" by "J.J. Jackson" ... one of those where I always remember the song from 50 yrs ago, but not the artist
	11:58am clarke: your fave veejay!!
	11:58am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @11:57 Huey Lewis had a hit with it too
	11:58am listener phat in Lincoln: Lol
	11:59am Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:58 yikes!
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Down The Road A Piece" by "Roy Loney" while i was pals with roy, i am SO glad i caught The Phantom Movers at the Psychodeli in bethesda, that time!!
	12:00pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Down The Road A Piece" by "Roy Loney" Mick Jagger sounds. like an adenoidal teenager next to this version
	12:01pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:58 Or my least favorite, Clarke.
	12:02pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @11:59 Well, maybe not a hit. But it got some airplay
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:01 baby.... BABY!!!!!!!
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:01 great to hear your voice, last week, sir!! you sound taller on the radio!

	12:04pm clarke: or veejay.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: Take 2
	12:06pm clarke: RIP Bobby Osborne - but, at least he was of age to go to the great beyond
	12:06pm Vic in Longmont: Jesse McReynolds also passed this week. RIP to two mandolin masters
	12:06pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Don't Even Look At Me" by "Osborne Brothers, The" Didn’t they use this in Blue Velvet?
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:05 MovieTime, Frank??
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:06 they worked blue, then.
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:06 Action packed week! Let It Ride on Monday, started the "new" Kids In The Hall series on Thursday (which so far is kinda meh), and last night we had a triple feature; The Getaway (the original), Greased Lightning, and Dog Day Afternoon.
	12:09pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Listener Baby @12:06 It was reworked to 'Don't you fukkin look at me!'
	12:09pm clarke: my viewing this week included billy wilder's GREAT Ace In The Hole - had never seen. collossal!!
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:09 Haven't seen that one, but I'd like to
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:09 love Getaway - but been a while - remind me about Greased Lightning??
	12:10pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:09 "We're coming, Leo, Leo...."
	12:10pm BobPgh: Getaway... read the book by Jim Thompson!
	12:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:09 My friend Jay's mom is an extra in Dog Day Afternoon. Not that you probably noticed her. Great movie.
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:10 leo's gone.
	12:11pm Listener Baby: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:09 Indeed, Hubig!
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:10 is she Hysterical Lady In Bank??
	12:12pm Hubig Pie: The Getaway - Virgil Sollozzo throwing BBQ ribs at Sally Struthers head from the back seat of a car.
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: How's your Donkey Kong?
	12:13pm egould: ↳ Song: "Promises" by "Barreracudas" Powerpop!
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:12 si si.
	12:14pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Promises" by "Barreracudas" Verse is vibing with The Cars “You Might Think”. I like it.
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: Richard Pryor plays Wendell Scott, first African American driver to win in NASCAR. Good supporting cast; Pam Grier, Beau Bridges, Cleavon Little, Richie Havens, Vincent Gardenia...
	12:14pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Promises" by "Barreracudas" Bring it down a 3rd and you have a Cars song.
	12:14pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:09 that's a good one. I have the Criterion. Almost made me rethink being a newspaperman
	12:14pm luka: if you’re the one with the quarters, wouldn’t they be your donkey kong?
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:14 gardenia - wow!! will check dat!!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:14 is that a channel??
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:10 Who did she play? One of the hostages?
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:14 you had me at vincent!!
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:12 And the cucked husband hanging himself in the motel bathroom
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 Teller #2
	12:16pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:15 yes, but mostly a video company. (all 50% off at big bad Barnes et Nobel currently)
	12:17pm pgalub: A friend of mine just read the Leon bio, and he said it was great. I haven't read it.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:16 oh i know the company - just didn't know there was a channel
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ pgalub @12:17 'ow's yer Galubian head???
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Dano59 @12:16 Shit, is that sale happening right now?
	12:18pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 It's a Sam Peckinpah visual delight !
	12:19pm pgalub: Yo Clarke! Saturday morning Galubian head, somewhat intact. Hope you're well.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ pgalub @12:19 i'm good - in Sweaty City!!
	12:19pm Hughie Considine: ↳ pgalub @12:17 I'm about halfway through -- it's 1972 and Leon's pot belly is growing -- and loving it. Fine journalism written by a guy who really know music, the recording process, the biz, etc.
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 In the crowd outside the bank. She ran a laundromat down on the block where they filmed, as I recall.
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: 300 million dollars... Sigh
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:19 i might only need to read about half that book - the first half.
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:18 It's a good one!
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:20 Ah. Then yeah, I definitely didn't see her.
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:12 Godard can be so willfully obscure.
	12:21pm common: that was a perfect review
	12:21pm Hughie Considine: Good day, Mr. Clarke! I hear that -- you know the second half is gonna be dark...
	12:22pm Dano59: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:18 I just found out Hope Sandoval covered a song from The Ballad of Cable Hogue (my Peckinpah fave)
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:21 but, that first half is the REAL story!
	12:22pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Juke Box Boogie" by "Jim Dolan" Boogie all day and woogie all night.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:22 yeah, good version.
	12:22pm Andres: $295M bomb? Maybe they’ll stop with the de-aging actors. Among other things.
	12:23pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:20 You gotta wait till I return it.
	12:23pm egould: ↳ Song: "Juke Box Boogie" by "Jim Dolan" Say ‘boogie’ one more time, mf’er. I dare you.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:22 Squints has hit upon the perfect formula.
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:23 NOPL - no a/c!!
	12:24pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:22 Certainly the first half tells the story of his musical influence and achievements, but as a human being there's more to the story. Just depends what you find worthwhile reading about.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:24 the sessions is what i wanna know and what no one has concentrated upon.
	12:25pm Andres: ↳ clarke @12:24 But that’s a public library’s primary function in the summer!
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Andres @12:25 that was a reference to our brilliant mayor. let ALL city maintenance go lax.
	12:28pm Andres: ↳ clarke @12:26 A real progressive, huh?
	12:28pm clarke: in a list of our worst mayors she is right behind ray nagin (renegin').
	12:28pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:21 That one flew right over my head. Talk about willfully obscure. Godard of Breathless fame ?
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Song: "You Cant't Hide" by "NRBQ" The Voice!!
	12:29pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:24 My friend who works at the Main branch called 311 and reported the AC being out (it was 86°, but ya know, they're trying to get the remote workers back in the office). She got reprimanded for "unprofessional behavior" and she told them "Sorry, I have no role models for professional behavior."
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:28 Just riffin' and boppin'!
	12:29pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:25 Yup, I wouldn't say he gets too deep into the process, more concerned with the shifting personnel, how they fell into Leon's world, what it was like for them, etc. You do get lots of Leon quotes like this one: "Have you ever spent a month in a house with thirty naked people? I have, and it's awesome."
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: OK, I gotta go cut my hair and beard. Will be listening on the Bathroom Boombox. Thanks, Michael!
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:29 ha ha ha. nice retort.
	12:30pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:28 Is Ray Ray still servin' time ?
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "You Cant't Hide" by "NRBQ" Michael, I can't prove it but I think you've played this one as much as any other track in the past several years.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:29 The Bathroom Boombox has representation as well.
	12:31pm Moammar: So dispiriting to hear Steve Cropper be so proud of the Blues Brothers.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Fresher Than The Sweetness In Water" by "Honeybus" yass!!!
	12:31pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Moammar @12:31 Totally, like hearing Brian Eno brag about producing Coldplay.
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:31 did that happen?!?
	12:32pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Get on the Honeybus.
	12:32pm yippie: that super deluxe track is extremely cathartic for me
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:32 I regret to say it did.
	12:33pm Peter Horvath: All Honeybus, all the time
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 damn.
	12:34pm Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 The producing, or the bragging?
	12:35pm clarke: ha ha ha
	12:35pm Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:29 listening to his records you could kind of tell what was going on among 'the Shelter people'
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @12:34 haha. I'm sure Eno kept it pretty close to the vest.
	12:37pm drr: ↳ Moammar @12:31 oof, big disagree. First record I asked for and got was the 45 of "Soul Man". They're how I learned about "Rubber Biscuit". Great band, and Belushi and Aykroyd do a fine job. Plus they are right about Illinois Nazis. *****
	12:37pm clarke: Hughie - you get yer Clientele tix, yet??
	12:37pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:28 god, Ray Nagin was awful and I only knew him as a tourist / or a reporter covering the Clinton Global Initiative in NO in '08. The town was a mess but he was real proud the casinos were open
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @12:35 Definitely. Lots of free-lovin' goin' on. Leon, who famously sang about his gal's warm and fertile delta, was a horn-dog in peak horn-dog times.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:37 this mayor is trying to "top" him!
	12:38pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:37 Might be as simple as Cropper mentioning something he knows people remember.
	12:38pm Moammar: ↳ drr @12:37 The band was unimpeachable. How great if they'd actually had, say, the real Sam and Dave fronting them?
	12:38pm Squints: ↳ Squints @12:38 People who aren't obsessive nuts like us.
	12:39pm Dano59: ↳ Squints @12:38 nothing wrong with the Blues Brothers Band - all-stars. I liked Cropper's work with Dave Edmunds' Rock'n'roll Revue, too (1990)
	12:39pm clarke: ya know - kawasaki DiD let the good times roll.
	12:39pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:37 Not yet - need to check logistics and all first
	12:40pm clarke: number ONE.
	12:40pm Listener Baby: Drummer of the decade!
	12:40pm listener phat in Lincoln: Oh Matt. Oddly enough, he lives in Nebraska again
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:39 i'm pondering road trip..
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:40 i heard that! wow!
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:40 Well that would sure be cool!
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:41 cooler than here!
	12:43pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:41 Yeah, he's been in Omaha for awhile now, for some reason .
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:40 was that menck??
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:43 i like omaha!!! (yep).
	12:44pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @12:43 Telltale playing.
	12:44pm Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:43 family matter/ makes me wonder. It's cheaper than LA that's for sure
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:44 there's two drummers on that album
	12:44pm david_r: I'm still chucking over the day I was sitting in Liuzza's on Bienville's bar having lunch and there were a couple little brats going wild, running around and shouting. I was facing away from the bar but my companion said "....isn't that 'y'all's mayor? I thought he was in jail?" I turned around and sure enough, there was Ray, drinking a frozen "schooner" of Coors Light. He was wearing a yellow polo shirt and he had a little gray hair around the back and sides. I thought he was in jail too. Anyway, those were his grandkids. Liuzza's treated him with great respect, still calling him "Your Honor" and such. I'm sure it was nice for him to be there.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:44 plus fred mayer.
	12:45pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:43 It's pretty cool. Pretty hip, in some ways. But it's also Nebraska. Between Lincoln and Omaha, I'd probably pick Omaha if I were interested in moving.

	12:55pm McGroovey: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:52 Oh, we had our share of fascists, like Richard Nixon, Ronnie Reagan,... . But those fascists are dead now, so they're harmless (mostly) now.
	12:55pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:52 He makes the most of his limited screen time in Blacula.
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ McGroovey @12:55 Nebraska totally had some decent governors. But not in awhile. The newest is especially awful.
	12:56pm Squints: "I am a man who like talking to a man who likes to talk."

	11:02am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:03am clarke: jimmy soul abides.
	11:03am Handy Haversack: Morning, Michael and all.
	11:03am Frank In Queens: O-qua tangin wann!
	11:03am Bob Barth: Good morning Michael!! Hello everybody!!
	11:04am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:02 beach day buddy??
	11:04am Joey!: Good Morning everyone!!!
	11:04am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:04 beach BAR day, perhaps.
	11:04am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:04 you know how to roll!
	11:04am myron feld: ↳ Song: "I Guess Things Happen That Way" by "JImmy Soul" The young lady on this one sounds like the young lady on Danny White's "The Twitch."
	11:05am Squints: ↳ Song: "Hockey Monkey" by "Zambonis,The And James Kochalk... The Zambonis make me smile because always at least one of them wears a Whalers shirt.
	11:05am Christina Ginger: Good morning, everyone!
	11:06am Handy Haversack: Frank, Christina, we'll be at Bar Freda tonight in case you're looking for a show or anything.

	11:07am nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	11:07am paul: ↳ Adammets @11:02 Very cool!
	11:07am Squints: EC delivered at Tanglewood last Saturday, age- and speculative infirmity-adjusted. Bob (I think, last week) was right that Charlie Sexton neither added nor detracted. But probably ill-advised for Elvis to engage in a guitar duel with him. My ONLY complaint with Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets was that the set was too short.
	11:08am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:06 Hey Handy! Let's see what happens. Was hoping for a quiet weekend in, but it's hard to say no to a local show.
	11:09am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:07 I like to think we don't kill them so much as referment them.
	11:09am clarke: a re-direction.
	11:09am listener phat in Lincoln: Morning all
	11:10am clarke: mornin' midwest!!
	11:11am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Squints @11:07 I've heard that about NL's set at other shows on this tour as well. That's why I was hoping to catch one of the shows where they perform solo. But alas, none near me.
	11:12am clarke: mister, mister! can we have our ball back?
	11:12am Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:11 I mean, I get it. It wasn't their show. But I'd have happily had more.
	11:13am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:12 There was never a ball in a single Mister Mister video.
	11:13am Squints: We fought the war for your sort.
	11:13am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Squints @11:12 Right. I get it too. Did NL come out & play with EC at the end of the show?
	11:14am prof.fuzz: greetings from howdy arabia!
	11:14am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	11:15am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	11:15am Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:13 Sadly not. But by the PL&U closer I was pretty beered up. But I like to think I'd have remembered.
	11:15am myron feld: ↳ Squints @11:13 "Bet you're sorry you won!"
	11:16am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:15 squints is very clean.
	11:16am Squints: Were any Bernard Purdies injured in the making of this record?
	11:17am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "I Get Mad, So Mad" by "Billy Fayard" Reminds me of Joe Jackson's "I'm Mad At You"
	11:18am SecretSquirrel: This Billy Fayard track is gear
	11:19am Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:08 Sounds good!
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:19 how did that game go the other day?
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: Ugh!
	11:20am prof.fuzz: hi handy! nycmn! FIQ! RevRab! et al.!
	11:20am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Hard To Handle" by "Tony Joe White" Love this classic. Just now I'm thinking this could be a killer Hip-Hop cover.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:20 hey Prof!
	11:21am clarke: those things are mutually exclusive.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:20 In the park? HOT. My god. And so humid that cormorants were flying around. It was a "just for fun" league, and even I felt a little bad. I pitched, gave up four runs. We beat them by 20, I think. In your FACE, Financial Times. Hey, prof.!
	11:22am prof.fuzz: ↳ Bob Barth @11:20 i'm a fan of the TJW "Deep Cuts" record (hip hoppy remixes of TJW hits)
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:21 those Financial Times fucks!!

Interesting song. We know the Beatles were influenced by American R&B, and a song like that shows details that distinguished what the Beatles did, from the R&B that influenced them.
	11:23am Bob Barth: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:22 cool - checkin' it out
	11:23am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:21 Yikes, I can't imagine doing anything athletic in this heat. I hung around at work for 2 extra hours yesterday because I went to a concert last night & I didn't want to be wandering around the city for hours in the heat waiting for the doors to open.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ McGroovey @11:22 and also, Nine Roses is in gretna.
	11:25am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Background To A Music" by "Bo Diddley" and just like that, unemployment is down again! thanks bo!
	11:25am McGroovey: ↳ clarke @11:23 I wasn't actually listening to the lyrics; I was listening to the bass line! 🤷‍♂️
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:20 + Hullo +
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Song: "Harmony In My Head" by "Buzzcocks, The" yes.
	11:25am love2laf: Good morning all, was cool enough to open the windows and enjoy until the humidity kicked in. Loving the music so far DJ Michael.
	11:25am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Harmony In My Head" by "Buzzcocks, The" Never Mind The Buzzcocks
	11:26am Mister Dobalina: This show has been fun so far. Can't believe Dave The Spazz is coming up soon. Monkey business time!

	11:34am nycmusicnerd: That's what I'm hoping for at the Beacon this week.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:34 yeah - i didn't realize that tommy pretty much did everything on the first Bash & Pop, himself (escept drooms).
	11:36am Andres: ↳ Geoffrey in Ottawa @11:32 Sounds like Bluesfest days. Loved all the outdoor fests the summer I spent there.

	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Cat" by "Jimmy Smith" Know from the faithful cover by the James Taylor Quartet (...a different one...)
	11:45am drr: ↳ clarke @11:44 If he'd just fix that guitar they'd find success in no time.

	12:17pm pgalub: A friend of mine just read the Leon bio, and he said it was great. I haven't read it.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:16 oh i know the company - just didn't know there was a channel
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ pgalub @12:17 'ow's yer Galubian head???
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Dano59 @12:16 Shit, is that sale happening right now?
	12:18pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 It's a Sam Peckinpah visual delight !
	12:19pm pgalub: Yo Clarke! Saturday morning Galubian head, somewhat intact. Hope you're well.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ pgalub @12:19 i'm good - in Sweaty City!!
	12:19pm Hughie Considine: ↳ pgalub @12:17 I'm about halfway through -- it's 1972 and Leon's pot belly is growing -- and loving it. Fine journalism written by a guy who really know music, the recording process, the biz, etc.
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 In the crowd outside the bank. She ran a laundromat down on the block where they filmed, as I recall.
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: 300 million dollars... Sigh
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:19 i might only need to read about half that book - the first half.
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:18 It's a good one!
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:20 Ah. Then yeah, I definitely didn't see her.
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:12 Godard can be so willfully obscure.
	12:21pm common: that was a perfect review
	12:21pm Hughie Considine: Good day, Mr. Clarke! I hear that -- you know the second half is gonna be dark...
	12:22pm Dano59: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:18 I just found out Hope Sandoval covered a song from The Ballad of Cable Hogue (my Peckinpah fave)
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:21 but, that first half is the REAL story!
	12:22pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Juke Box Boogie" by "Jim Dolan" Boogie all day and woogie all night.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:22 yeah, good version.
	12:22pm Andres: $295M bomb? Maybe they’ll stop with the de-aging actors. Among other things.
	12:23pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:20 You gotta wait till I return it.
	12:23pm egould: ↳ Song: "Juke Box Boogie" by "Jim Dolan" Say ‘boogie’ one more time, mf’er. I dare you.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:22 Squints has hit upon the perfect formula.
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:23 NOPL - no a/c!!
	12:24pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:22 Certainly the first half tells the story of his musical influence and achievements, but as a human being there's more to the story. Just depends what you find worthwhile reading about.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:24 the sessions is what i wanna know and what no one has concentrated upon.
	12:25pm Andres: ↳ clarke @12:24 But that’s a public library’s primary function in the summer!
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Andres @12:25 that was a reference to our brilliant mayor. let ALL city maintenance go lax.
	12:28pm Andres: ↳ clarke @12:26 A real progressive, huh?
	12:28pm clarke: in a list of our worst mayors she is right behind ray nagin (renegin').
	12:28pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:21 That one flew right over my head. Talk about willfully obscure. Godard of Breathless fame ?
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Song: "You Cant't Hide" by "NRBQ" The Voice!!
	12:29pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:24 My friend who works at the Main branch called 311 and reported the AC being out (it was 86°, but ya know, they're trying to get the remote workers back in the office). She got reprimanded for "unprofessional behavior" and she told them "Sorry, I have no role models for professional behavior."
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:28 Just riffin' and boppin'!
	12:29pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:25 Yup, I wouldn't say he gets too deep into the process, more concerned with the shifting personnel, how they fell into Leon's world, what it was like for them, etc. You do get lots of Leon quotes like this one: "Have you ever spent a month in a house with thirty naked people? I have, and it's awesome."
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: OK, I gotta go cut my hair and beard. Will be listening on the Bathroom Boombox. Thanks, Michael!
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:29 ha ha ha. nice retort.
	12:30pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:28 Is Ray Ray still servin' time ?
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "You Cant't Hide" by "NRBQ" Michael, I can't prove it but I think you've played this one as much as any other track in the past several years.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:29 The Bathroom Boombox has representation as well.
	12:31pm Moammar: So dispiriting to hear Steve Cropper be so proud of the Blues Brothers.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Fresher Than The Sweetness In Water" by "Honeybus" yass!!!
	12:31pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Moammar @12:31 Totally, like hearing Brian Eno brag about producing Coldplay.
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:31 did that happen?!?
	12:32pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Get on the Honeybus.
	12:32pm yippie: that super deluxe track is extremely cathartic for me
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:32 I regret to say it did.
	12:33pm Peter Horvath: All Honeybus, all the time
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 damn.
	12:34pm Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 The producing, or the bragging?
	12:35pm clarke: ha ha ha
	12:35pm Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:29 listening to his records you could kind of tell what was going on among 'the Shelter people'
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @12:34 haha. I'm sure Eno kept it pretty close to the vest.
	12:37pm drr: ↳ Moammar @12:31 oof, big disagree. First record I asked for and got was the 45 of "Soul Man". They're how I learned about "Rubber Biscuit". Great band, and Belushi and Aykroyd do a fine job. Plus they are right about Illinois Nazis. *****
	12:37pm clarke: Hughie - you get yer Clientele tix, yet??
	12:37pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:28 god, Ray Nagin was awful and I only knew him as a tourist / or a reporter covering the Clinton Global Initiative in NO in '08. The town was a mess but he was real proud the casinos were open
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @12:35 Definitely. Lots of free-lovin' goin' on. Leon, who famously sang about his gal's warm and fertile delta, was a horn-dog in peak horn-dog times.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:37 this mayor is trying to "top" him!
	12:38pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:37 Might be as simple as Cropper mentioning something he knows people remember.
	12:38pm Moammar: ↳ drr @12:37 The band was unimpeachable. How great if they'd actually had, say, the real Sam and Dave fronting them?
	12:38pm Squints: ↳ Squints @12:38 People who aren't obsessive nuts like us.
	12:39pm Dano59: ↳ Squints @12:38 nothing wrong with the Blues Brothers Band - all-stars. I liked Cropper's work with Dave Edmunds' Rock'n'roll Revue, too (1990)
	12:39pm clarke: ya know - kawasaki DiD let the good times roll.
	12:39pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:37 Not yet - need to check logistics and all first
	12:40pm clarke: number ONE.
	12:40pm Listener Baby: Drummer of the decade!
	12:40pm listener phat in Lincoln: Oh Matt. Oddly enough, he lives in Nebraska again
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:39 i'm pondering road trip..
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:40 i heard that! wow!
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:40 Well that would sure be cool!
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:41 cooler than here!
	12:43pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:41 Yeah, he's been in Omaha for awhile now, for some reason .
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:40 was that menck??
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:43 i like omaha!!! (yep).
	12:44pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @12:43 Telltale playing.
	12:44pm Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:43 family matter/ makes me wonder. It's cheaper than LA that's for sure
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:44 there's two drummers on that album
	12:44pm david_r: I'm still chucking over the day I was sitting in Liuzza's on Bienville's bar having lunch and there were a couple little brats going wild, running around and shouting. I was facing away from the bar but my companion said "....isn't that 'y'all's mayor? I thought he was in jail?" I turned around and sure enough, there was Ray, drinking a frozen "schooner" of Coors Light. He was wearing a yellow polo shirt and he had a little gray hair around the back and sides. I thought he was in jail too. Anyway, those were his grandkids. Liuzza's treated him with great respect, still calling him "Your Honor" and such. I'm sure it was nice for him to be there.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:44 plus fred mayer.
	12:45pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:43 It's pretty cool. Pretty hip, in some ways. But it's also Nebraska. Between Lincoln and Omaha, I'd probably pick Omaha if I were interested in moving.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ david_r @12:44 fuck that dude!
	12:46pm Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:45 but Matthew's from Lincoln, right? Hell, he could work with Conor Oberst now. also from Nebraska: Johnny Carson.
	12:46pm drr: Is he still in the can?
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 hope so.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 actually i think he's on home arrest, now.
	12:47pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @12:46 Yes, he's from Lincoln. Conor lives in NYC these days. I'm not sure what Matt's doing for music. I was just thinking about that. I don't actually know him. Ton friends in common.
	12:47pm joe mulligan: that kawasaki ad brought me back to saturday morning watching Shazam/Oh Mighty Isis/Sigmund and the Seamonsters. the ad had a very catchy jingle!
	12:48pm andy fuchs: Bucket O Blood , best song ever...
	12:48pm paul: ↳ Dano59 @12:46 Dick Cavett, too.
	12:48pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Deke is throwing his two cents in, Michael.
	12:48pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:45 i realize there's a long history of corruption there but that guy obviously cared very little about the citizens.
	12:49pm paul: ↳ paul @12:48 and Brando.
	12:49pm listener phat in Lincoln: And me!
	12:49pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Get Out Of My Life Woman" by "Wilmer And The Dukes" The name Wilmer will always put me in mind of the Eisha Cook Jr. character who gets humiliated by Bogie in The Maltese Falcoln.
	12:49pm Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:49 and you
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:49 wilmer has a gut issue.
	12:50pm Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:49 "You'll take it and like it."
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:49 he's like a son to me!!
	12:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: Nebraska is like a black hole. People often get out, but get sucked back in.
	12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: I feel bad for the kids here these days. It hasn't always been run by fascists
	12:52pm Hughie Considine: He was always getting humiliated, wasn't he? Sherry Peattey sure gave him a hard time in The Killing.
	12:52pm clarke: "(chuckles).. oh, i enjoy you, sir"
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:52 he's the best!
	12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:52 Goddamn best movie.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:53 was about to say dat
	12:53pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:47 Released 2020 cause of Covid. Greg Meffert is the guy I have even less use for.
	12:54pm Moammar: Delroy Wilson: cool operator
	12:54pm clarke: i feel ya, bra.
	12:55pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Last Thing On My Mind" by "Delroy Wilson" Seems folks from this part of the world have a way with a cover. Holy cow!
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: Speaking of Jim Thompson, who also spent time in Nebraska.
	12:55pm McGroovey: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:52 Oh, we had our share of fascists, like Richard Nixon, Ronnie Reagan,... . But those fascists are dead now, so they're harmless (mostly) now.
	12:55pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:52 He makes the most of his limited screen time in Blacula.
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ McGroovey @12:55 Nebraska totally had some decent governors. But not in awhile. The newest is especially awful.
	12:56pm Squints: "I am a man who like talking to a man who likes to talk."
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:55 Oh man, I must see that!
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:55 elisha apparently loved to stay at the Roosevelt and go to the Fairgrounds!
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Leftover Fireworks" by "Jerky Boys, The" "my nub"
	12:57pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Leftover Fireworks" by "Jerky Boys, The" I sincerely hope this happened to someone in my neighborhood.
	12:57pm clarke: my eyes don't see so good.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:57 lol
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
