Listener comments!
	10:03pm Mr Fab: Bob! Night people!
	10:08pm Mr Fab: just sent a link to this show to Don-O, collector of all things "Xanadu."
	10:12pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @10:08 I thought he might get a kick out of it. ha
	10:14pm Derek Westerholm: Hurrah! Hello 1-night-ers! Yeah!
	10:15pm Mr Fab: I saw They Might Be Giants play a free noon-time show at the old Rhino Records store. Just the two of them, guitar and accordion c.1991. I was working in Westwood so it was really great, saw em on my lunch break and went back to work.
	10:18pm DJ Babs: It’s on my bucket list to see a show there!
	10:19pm DJ Babs: Lol!
	10:20pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @10:18 You've got some friends in LA!!
	10:21pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @10:15 woah... just woah
	10:30pm DJ Babs: I always forget how freaking great this tune is!
	10:30pm Mr Fab: I was a major fan from their debut up thru the early/middle '90s. They were so prolific, and there were other musics going on, so kinda lost track of 'em...until our daughter was born. Their children's albums got me listening to em again. Clever marketing on their part! Like: "How do we get back our old listeners who liked us in college but then grew up and moved on to other things? I know! Kid's records!"
	10:32pm Derek Westerholm: I totally just clued into how "Langer & Winstanley" Birdhouse is... Figures, since they produced it! Never added up 1+1 to get 2 before in that equation.
	10:33pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @10:30 I love those albums! You've go to check out their new stuff. Fantastic!
	10:34pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse In Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" I was, like... So "Elvis Costello", this one... So "Madness"... Then it dawned on me...
	10:36pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "The Darlings of Lumberland" by "They Might Be Gia... I'm sorry this is just fucking rad.
	10:47pm Bob Barth: Super nice guy! That was so much fun.
	10:48pm Mr Fab: "This is a station I listen to" - yeah!
	10:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Doctor Worm" by "They Might Be Giants" why does that guy in the crowd have spatulas on his head?
	10:49pm DJ Babs: Great interview Bob!
	10:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @10:49 maybe he's Count Spatula (sorry)
	10:50pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @10:49 no idea
	10:51pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @10:49 Thank You Babs! I love talking to creative folks. Makes me feel alive.
	10:52pm Derek Westerholm: Excellent job, great listening! Thanks for such a Fab interview!
	10:53pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @10:52 Thanks for hanging with me. Lot more fun on the way.
	10:56pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ Babs @10:49 Indeed. i could listen to him talking about TMBG for lots longer.
	10:59pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @10:56 Aww... you guys!
	11:01pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "The Interview" by "The Sklar Brothers" Crazy story! Nurse changes diaper pins of twins & mom lives w/ guilt of not knowing who is who for 50 years... Crazy!!! Never thought of that before... I suppose it's easier than one could think at that early baby stage.
	11:10pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Raising A Dog Is Not Like Raising A Child" by "Th... As someone raising a human - a considerably more complex effort then just setting down a bowl of food and picking up poop - it annoys me hearing pet owners call themselves cat/dog-moms n stuff. Even getting Mother's Day greetings. Er, NO!
	11:11pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @11:10 ha - exactly!
	11:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ Derek Westerholm @11:01 Wow, what mental torture that must have been!
	11:18pm Don-O: UT! Looks like missed that 'Magic'.....
	11:21pm Don-O: Hey, the brother sound like they escaped Easy AM 66 from Programme 4!
	11:24pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @11:21 programme4.com...
	11:41pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Shadrach" by "Beastie Boys" I'm an extra in the video for this song. The Boys would perform it, then do another song while the crew was setting for the next take. So it was like getting a free Beasties mini-concert, and right in front of the stage.
	11:42pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @11:41 very cool
	11:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Magic" by "Bob Barth" Don-O! Yep, another "Magic" cover to add to your ever-bulging archives.
	11:43pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @11:42 You have been warned, Bill!!
	11:44pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @11:42 There's no need - good lord.
	11:44pm Mr Fab: ↳ Bob Barth @11:42 They wanted us all really vigorously slamming and stage-diving in front of the stage. My shirt was literally torn to shreds!
	11:45pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @11:44 I would have lasted 3 seconds.
	11:45pm Mr Fab: ↳ Bob Barth @11:45 Ha, hey I was young.
	11:46pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Money For Nothing" by "Dire Straits" One of the best guitar riff of all time.
	11:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @11:10 Another great interview... Excellent flow & transitions between topics, references, songs & edits... Great listening!
	11:51pm Derek Westerholm: ^ That comment was for Bob...
	11:57pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @11:50 Like all of us, I'm just makin the radio that I want exist in the world. Thank you for your kind words. I hope you can tell how much fun I'm having.
	11:58pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Let The Good Times Roll" by "Quincy Jones, Stevie... Love this version! I saw Ray Charles at the Bowl. Not this show, tho. But (if Derek and babs are still here) he did sing "It Aint Easy Bein Green."
	12:01am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @11:58 Boy I wish I'd seen that.
	12:14am Mr Fab: He makes an interesting point - "patriotic" Americans can be the worst people in the country, which makes appreciating various aspects of the US uncool.
	12:14am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @12:14 this conversation blew my mind
	12:22am Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Soul Bossa Nova" by "Quincy Jones" probably not the jazz snobs pick to represent Q, but damn! What a great record.
	12:23am Bob Barth: Well THIS show is NOT for snobs.
	12:24am Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @11:58 Ha! As he should... Wow!
	1:30am Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Water & Wine" by "X" this X album was like manna from heaven when it dropped at the height of the pandemic. Exactly what i needed.
	1:30am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @1:30 YES! Man they came out swingin'
	1:36am Mr Fab: i saw Dave Wakling and his English/California General Public Beat back in 2014, and it was basically the same kinda show. Much fun, of course.
	1:38am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @1:36 Yeah, I'm not sure that setlist changes too much, but they're perfect. Great summertime band.
	1:39am Mr Fab: I've seen X twice - once in the '80s, and once maybe 10 years ago, and I did not get Billy on the sax, or DJ on the marimba. No complaints, great shows, but damn, it's like they keep getting better?!
	1:41am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @1:39 No - it's weird, right. I mean they look like they're rapidly aging but the sound incredible.
	1:44am Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts" by "X" Simply a masterpiece. "the civil wars, and the uncivilized wars..." "Both sides are right But both sides murder/I give up...why can't they?" Can't tell you how many times I've thought of those lines over the years. Sadly, as timely as ever.
	1:45am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @1:44 You are correct on all counts.
	1:52am Mr Fab: X hit the LA scene like a ton of bricks. Punk was a bit of a shock to the culture to begin with, but X was on a whole other level. Not just: "i hate Reagan/school/my mom" but really masters of hardboiled literature. The new Raymond Chandler(s). As young teens, it blew our minds.
	1:54am Bob Barth: I can only imagine. I mean to me they sound as revolutionary as ever. Totally raw.
	1:57am SeanG: Save it for Later might be the best song ever. 3 chords no bridge
	1:58am Mr Fab: ↳ Bob Barth @1:54 Yep. Freakin TIMELESS. I saw an exhibit about X at the Grammy Museum downtown, and Exene and DJ just happened to be there at the auditorium talking to school kids on a field trip!
	2:03am Mr Fab: ↳ SeanG @1:57 Yep. I think he plays that one every time.
	2:06am Bob Barth: That does it for me gang. Thank you all for stopping and saying hi.
	2:06am Mr Fab: EPIC show, tonight, Bob!
	2:07am Bob Barth: ↳ SeanG @1:57 SeanG! How did I miss you? Thanks for stopping by.
	2:08am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @2:06 Thank you, bit off WAY more... but had a blast doin it.
	2:09am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @1:58 Gosh that reminds me of when I sat next to Trent Reznor during a elementary school tour.
	2:09am SeanG: great show BB! howdy Mr Fab!
	2:10am Bob Barth: ↳ SeanG @2:09 Thanks man, much appreciated.

	10:03pm Mr Fab: Bob! Night people!
	10:08pm Mr Fab: just sent a link to this show to Don-O, collector of all things "Xanadu."
	10:12pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @10:08 I thought he might get a kick out of it. ha
	10:14pm Derek Westerholm: Hurrah! Hello 1-night-ers! Yeah!
	10:15pm Mr Fab: I saw They Might Be Giants play a free noon-time show at the old Rhino Records store. Just the two of them, guitar and accordion c.1991. I was working in Westwood so it was really great, saw em on my lunch break and went back to work.
	10:18pm DJ Babs: It’s on my bucket list to see a show there!
	10:19pm DJ Babs: Lol!
	10:20pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @10:18 You've got some friends in LA!!
	10:21pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @10:15 woah... just woah
	10:30pm DJ Babs: I always forget how freaking great this tune is!
	10:30pm Mr Fab: I was a major fan from their debut up thru the early/middle '90s. They were so prolific, and there were other musics going on, so kinda lost track of 'em...until our daughter was born. Their children's albums got me listening to em again. Clever marketing on their part! Like: "How do we get back our old listeners who liked us in college but then grew up and moved on to other things? I know! Kid's records!"
	10:32pm Derek Westerholm: I totally just clued into how "Langer & Winstanley" Birdhouse is... Figures, since they produced it! Never added up 1+1 to get 2 before in that equation.
	10:33pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @10:30 I love those albums! You've go to check out their new stuff. Fantastic!
	10:34pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse In Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" I was, like... So "Elvis Costello", this one... So "Madness"... Then it dawned on me...
	10:36pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "The Darlings of Lumberland" by "They Might Be Gia... I'm sorry this is just fucking rad.
	10:47pm Bob Barth: Super nice guy! That was so much fun.
	10:48pm Mr Fab: "This is a station I listen to" - yeah!
	10:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Doctor Worm" by "They Might Be Giants" why does that guy in the crowd have spatulas on his head?
	10:49pm DJ Babs: Great interview Bob!
	10:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @10:49 maybe he's Count Spatula (sorry)
	10:50pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @10:49 no idea
	10:51pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @10:49 Thank You Babs! I love talking to creative folks. Makes me feel alive.
	10:52pm Derek Westerholm: Excellent job, great listening! Thanks for such a Fab interview!
	10:53pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @10:52 Thanks for hanging with me. Lot more fun on the way.
	10:56pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ Babs @10:49 Indeed. i could listen to him talking about TMBG for lots longer.
	10:59pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @10:56 Aww... you guys!
	11:01pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "The Interview" by "The Sklar Brothers" Crazy story! Nurse changes diaper pins of twins & mom lives w/ guilt of not knowing who is who for 50 years... Crazy!!! Never thought of that before... I suppose it's easier than one could think at that early baby stage.
	11:10pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Raising A Dog Is Not Like Raising A Child" by "Th... As someone raising a human - a considerably more complex effort then just setting down a bowl of food and picking up poop - it annoys me hearing pet owners call themselves cat/dog-moms n stuff. Even getting Mother's Day greetings. Er, NO!
	11:11pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @11:10 ha - exactly!
	11:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ Derek Westerholm @11:01 Wow, what mental torture that must have been!
	11:18pm Don-O: UT! Looks like missed that 'Magic'.....
	11:21pm Don-O: Hey, the brother sound like they escaped Easy AM 66 from Programme 4!
	11:24pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @11:21 programme4.com...
	11:41pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Shadrach" by "Beastie Boys" I'm an extra in the video for this song. The Boys would perform it, then do another song while the crew was setting for the next take. So it was like getting a free Beasties mini-concert, and right in front of the stage.
	11:42pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @11:41 very cool
	11:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Magic" by "Bob Barth" Don-O! Yep, another "Magic" cover to add to your ever-bulging archives.
	11:43pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @11:42 You have been warned, Bill!!
	11:44pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @11:42 There's no need - good lord.
	11:44pm Mr Fab: ↳ Bob Barth @11:42 They wanted us all really vigorously slamming and stage-diving in front of the stage. My shirt was literally torn to shreds!
	11:45pm Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @11:44 I would have lasted 3 seconds.
	11:45pm Mr Fab: ↳ Bob Barth @11:45 Ha, hey I was young.
	11:46pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Money For Nothing" by "Dire Straits" One of the best guitar riff of all time.
	11:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @11:10 Another great interview... Excellent flow & transitions between topics, references, songs & edits... Great listening!
	11:51pm Derek Westerholm: ^ That comment was for Bob...
	11:57pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @11:50 Like all of us, I'm just makin the radio that I want exist in the world. Thank you for your kind words. I hope you can tell how much fun I'm having.
	11:58pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Let The Good Times Roll" by "Quincy Jones, Stevie... Love this version! I saw Ray Charles at the Bowl. Not this show, tho. But (if Derek and babs are still here) he did sing "It Aint Easy Bein Green."
	12:01am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @11:58 Boy I wish I'd seen that.
	12:14am Mr Fab: He makes an interesting point - "patriotic" Americans can be the worst people in the country, which makes appreciating various aspects of the US uncool.
	12:14am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @12:14 this conversation blew my mind
	12:22am Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Soul Bossa Nova" by "Quincy Jones" probably not the jazz snobs pick to represent Q, but damn! What a great record.
	12:23am Bob Barth: Well THIS show is NOT for snobs.
	12:24am Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @11:58 Ha! As he should... Wow!
	1:30am Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Water & Wine" by "X" this X album was like manna from heaven when it dropped at the height of the pandemic. Exactly what i needed.
	1:30am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @1:30 YES! Man they came out swingin'
	1:36am Mr Fab: i saw Dave Wakling and his English/California General Public Beat back in 2014, and it was basically the same kinda show. Much fun, of course.
	1:38am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @1:36 Yeah, I'm not sure that setlist changes too much, but they're perfect. Great summertime band.
	1:39am Mr Fab: I've seen X twice - once in the '80s, and once maybe 10 years ago, and I did not get Billy on the sax, or DJ on the marimba. No complaints, great shows, but damn, it's like they keep getting better?!
	1:41am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @1:39 No - it's weird, right. I mean they look like they're rapidly aging but the sound incredible.
	1:44am Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts" by "X" Simply a masterpiece. "the civil wars, and the uncivilized wars..." "Both sides are right But both sides murder/I give up...why can't they?" Can't tell you how many times I've thought of those lines over the years. Sadly, as timely as ever.
	1:45am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @1:44 You are correct on all counts.
	1:52am Mr Fab: X hit the LA scene like a ton of bricks. Punk was a bit of a shock to the culture to begin with, but X was on a whole other level. Not just: "i hate Reagan/school/my mom" but really masters of hardboiled literature. The new Raymond Chandler(s). As young teens, it blew our minds.
	1:54am Bob Barth: I can only imagine. I mean to me they sound as revolutionary as ever. Totally raw.
	1:57am SeanG: Save it for Later might be the best song ever. 3 chords no bridge
	1:58am Mr Fab: ↳ Bob Barth @1:54 Yep. Freakin TIMELESS. I saw an exhibit about X at the Grammy Museum downtown, and Exene and DJ just happened to be there at the auditorium talking to school kids on a field trip!
	2:03am Mr Fab: ↳ SeanG @1:57 Yep. I think he plays that one every time.
	2:06am Bob Barth: That does it for me gang. Thank you all for stopping and saying hi.
	2:06am Mr Fab: EPIC show, tonight, Bob!
	2:07am Bob Barth: ↳ SeanG @1:57 SeanG! How did I miss you? Thanks for stopping by.
	2:08am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @2:06 Thank you, bit off WAY more... but had a blast doin it.
	2:09am Bob Barth: ↳ Mr Fab @1:58 Gosh that reminds me of when I sat next to Trent Reznor during a elementary school tour.
	2:09am SeanG: great show BB! howdy Mr Fab!
	2:10am Bob Barth: ↳ SeanG @2:09 Thanks man, much appreciated.
