	11:34am Frank In Queens: Can't wait for my OS upgrade, er, booster shot....
	11:34am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:32 Hey Clarke. You can drum, but how's your plumbing?

	11:38am clarke: ↳ drr @11:37 they are, but apparently their a/c shit the bed, too. i think it's probably back open monday
	11:39am Andres: Good morning, Michael and all. Montreal in springtime! Fairmount Bagel! Otis, from the Sheena stream who lives there, is always happy to meet WFMU kin.
	11:39am love2laf: ↳ Geoffrey in Ottawa @11:37 And La Banquise for the very best poutine, and so many more. Frankly you can get some awesome food at the train station. Montreal food is my fave.
	11:40am jon d: When in Montreal, you have to go to Schwartz‘s deli for smoked meat!
	11:40am egould: ↳ Geoffrey in Ottawa @11:37 Thank you for this. I’ve added it to my list of places to eat in different cities. Montreal is on the shortlist of places to visit.
	11:40am tonyb: Copped the Criterion “Hard Days Night” at Cranford library sale for $5.! That film makes me misty. Those were different times.
	11:40am Marne: Montreal recs... if you're going in Spring, it'll be sugaring season. Go here: La Cabane d’à Côté.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ tonyb @11:40 not grotty.
	11:41am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Also, Le Cheval Blanc is a nice spot for a late afternoon beer.
	11:41am egould: ↳ clarke @11:41 Hahaha!
	11:42am jon d: And please try poutine!
	11:42am clarke: very clean.

	11:42am clarke: the way i understood it: yes, everything has two mics panned right and left - hard.
	11:42am Bob: Holland over Sunflower!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like Binaural like LouReed looked into ...so it's probly not...
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:42 dunno bout that, but close.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: What do we think -- refrigerated vegetable stock four months past the expiration date -- does it really go bad?
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "This Whole World" by "Beach Boys, The" Binaural recording? That's my guess. But also, I'd be shocked if this wasn't multi tracked as well.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 go for it!!
	11:44am Bob: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 I wouldn't
	11:44am tonyb: “She’s a drag. A well known drag.”
	11:44am Marne: And this bed and breakfast, next to the park: https://casa-bianca.hotels-in-montreal.net/en/
	11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:43 I think he did at least one live album binaural.
	11:44am love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 Unopened maybe, otherwise I would not risk it.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 Take a sniff first. The nose knows!
	11:44am drr: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 opened or not?
	11:44am egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 Has it been opened already? If so, then no. If sealed, yes.
	11:45am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:43 Medical advice should never be taken from a rock drummer
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My tag for this BB's period as represented on the recent 'Feel Flows' box : The BB's did for a whole handful of Albums what TheBeatles only got to on their very last & in many respects most mature & fully developed Studio effort - 'Abbey Road'. How's that scan with you lot ?
	11:45am clarke: it's vegetables.
	11:46am Dano59: ↳ egould @11:44 this might help me while cleaning out my fridge
	11:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @11:44 It's opened, yeah. OK. I will restrict clarke advice to activities that are MEANT to be dangerous!
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:46 you didnt say it was open. nope on that.
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @11:45 ...is that like 'never follow a hippy to a 2nd location'...
	11:47am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:45 not sure - weren't they using the Wollensack tape effects in '66-'67?
	11:47am Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:45 With better song. I'm sort of the unpopular opinion that Abbey Road barely has any songs, apart from the two by George
	11:47am drr: oh boy, I have a story about this one, but it's sad.
	11:48am Dano59: ↳ Bob @11:47 ... I can see that too. It sometimes lands as a novelty record
	11:49am DJ Johnny Cool: DIG IT! My favorite Cosimo Matassa production.
	11:49am Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:47 That's probably a good rule to live by. You know you're going to be three hours late to something
	11:50am Michael Shelley: ↳ Marne @11:44 was out of our budget range! but thanks for the suggestion!
	11:51am Michael Shelley: ↳ tonyb @11:40 top 10!
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @11:47 Interesting. There's 'Octopus's Garden' ! :D ...& Side2 being a medley of stray bits... By the same token as being their most mature Studio Pop - 'Abbey' is their most perfunctory, I'd say...
	11:51am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself a Lette... No bad versions
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:51 yer one o' THEM!!
	11:51am egould: ↳ Song: "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself a Lette... “Kisses on the bottom…”
	11:52am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself a Lette... Best pop music is from the 30s
	11:55am clarke: yes, there is a previous live version of Boozoo.
	11:55am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Boozoo, That's Who (live)" by "NRBQ" More Boozoo Chavis tribute songs, please.
	11:55am clarke: on the blue live album (god bless us all??)
	11:56am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:56am Moammar: ↳ Moammar @11:55 Getting out my glockenspiel to work up something fast in praise of Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots. Back shortly.
	11:58am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Boozoo, That's Who (live)" by "NRBQ" the new Q did Loft Sessions in 2014 and '15, with Bobby Llloyd Hicks on the former I think. I saw them in '15 at Solid Sound - still a great band, if you. were wondering
	11:58am Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:51 Thanks for the reminder about the Q release, Michael. I just grabbed one. Limited number.
	11:59am Bob: ↳ Bob @11:58 Whoops. That was for Mike.
	11:59am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Song: "Girl Don't Tell Me" by "Tony Rivers and the Casta... This isn't J&D, it's Tony Rivers and the Castaways.
	12:00pm David Watts: This song and September girls are #1 fall songs. And that Chad and Jeremy song
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:59 was gonna say.. yer a cookie...
	12:00pm davefromtoronto: who sings this on the BB's version?
	12:00pm Andres: In Montreal: Case del Popolo/Sala Rossa, food and live music Librarie Drawn and Quarterly, comics publisher bookshop Lola Rosa (Milton Parc and Place-Des-Arts), 100% plant based, my kid likes this place.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:59 are they chanting: michael!! michael!! ?>>
	12:01pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ clarke @12:00 ….full of useless musical facts.
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ davefromtoronto @12:00 Carl is it not.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:01 and arsenic!
	12:01pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ davefromtoronto @12:00 Carl's second lead vocal, not including the Xmas album.
	12:01pm Bob: ↳ Dano59 @11:58 Were there two or three? A couple of us were trying to remember. I feel like one of the other ones was a lot more interesting than this release but that's typical Terry. That amazing Love in Outer Space on the box came from another one.
	12:02pm davefromtoronto: thanks guys - one of my faves.
	12:02pm Joey!: Mike..i thought that was an Immediate track...Johnny Rivers and the Castaways...i could be wrong...
	12:03pm clarke: general business schaeffer.
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: I always thought Paul was kind of sloppy on Letterman
	12:03pm Handy Haversack: OK, it's errands time. APPARENTLY, I need vegetable stock. And vodka for egould. Yeah, for egould. Also, the cats. Thanks, MS! Glad to know we're still number ones! Later on, all.
	12:03pm drr: Boozoo gave the world the remarkable two-sided single LA Women Love Uncle Bud/Deacon Jones. Do NOT play at work. Do not play around anybody, really.
	12:03pm myron feld: ↳ David Watts @12:00 "A Summer Song" by C&J -- one of the saddest. When that rain beats against that windowpane, man oh man...
	12:03pm Cooh John: Talked to Casey M and John from NRBQ 2 weeks ago. They had a last minute call to fill in for LSJ opener.
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Girl Don't Tell Me' in the 'microgenre' (?) of tracks echoing 'Ticket To Ride' (also 'My Baby Don't Care' by Gants par example). Used to think it (BB's og) was earlier - like '64 or something... Always loved it anyhow.
	12:05pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:04 What I like about the Tony Rivers version is that it de-Beatles the Beach Boys' original and makes it actually sound more like a BB's song.
	12:05pm Panther: Thanks for playing Robert Gordon
	12:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: There's a home football game this evening here in the state's capitol.
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Song: "It's A Shame" by "Spinners, The" good. ness!!!
	12:06pm Panther: And The Spinners!! Wow!
	12:06pm drr: the backing vocals really make this
	12:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: I was playing bass in my first band and not going to class at that age.
	12:07pm Andres: ↳ Song: "It's A Shame" by "Spinners, The" #1 and gold!
	12:07pm Bob: I can't really forgive that long period on Letterman where all music acts had to play with the band, no matter how stupid it was. Little Village had Nick, Jim K. and Ry shoved to the back while John Hiatt and Paul's band were up front doing the single. I think that supergroup probably died right there. It had potential too.
	12:07pm Greg g: Morning Michael & fellow # 1 ‘s !!
	12:07pm drr: the lead vocal also makes this
	12:07pm David Watts: @listener phat in Lincoln Lincoln, NE? Those home games get rowdy!
	12:07pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "It's A Shame" by "Spinners, The" The seemingly spontaneous ad-lib vocals of the Spinners are a wonder to behold.
	12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:05 Nice. & Pete & Keith of TheWho could probly tell us something about how relevant Jan & Dean were inteh whole progression ...I guess Wilson Senior tried to drive Brian Wilson off them with a cattle prod (or whatever blunt object of abuse)...
	12:08pm clarke: full disclosure: will be dual-screening my college football game for the remaining portion of this show. and making vegetable broth.
	12:08pm yerfriendpaul: Hi Michael, everyone! Beautiful September Saturday
	12:08pm Doug in MP: ↳ Song: "It's A Shame" by "Spinners, The" Dang, Jamerson. Leave some notes for the rest of us
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:07 Not so much on this one but most of their other big hits all seem to end with tons of vocal vamping.
	12:08pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:08 I watched that Florida State game, that might be enough Tiger Time for a while.
	12:09pm egould: 19 and 20? I was writing songs, playing drums in a band in Bloomington, IN. Also, lots of drugs.
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - BandLeader is a skill for sure. Musical Director ...no I've no idea what Schafer 'sounds like'...
	12:09pm Joey!: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:05 Tony Rivers, right. Sorry. Immediate Records released it.
	12:09pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:08 What's in your broth?
	12:10pm clarke: lsu fighting tigers!!
	12:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, MS and mess! Anyone in need of coasters? www.wfmu.store...
	12:10pm Chris Hiatt: Good early afternoon, Michael Shelley and all. Happy to be tuning in for the second half!
	12:10pm clarke: (there is no broth, bob)
	12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ David Watts @12:07 They do. I live a few blocks from the stadium. I used to love game days here. Nowadays, not so much. It's a mixture of me getting older and people in Nebraska getting dumber.
	12:11pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @12:10 GROOVY!
	12:11pm David Watts: Wow that radio days song was #1
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:08 yes, it was rahhhhthahh off-putting, but bama got owned by texas - so all is even.
	12:12pm Cooh John: Melody. Rhymes with Sheely.
	12:12pm David Watts: @listener phat in Lincoln watch out for the sidewalk barf. I remember being woke up by F16 flyovers for game days.
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "You Were On My Mind" by "Billy Lee Riley" - the Flying Saucer RnR man ?
	12:13pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "You Were On My Mind" by "Billy Lee Riley" Dammit. I was using this as the basis for my glockenspiel tribute to Sunpie. Back to the drawing board.
	12:13pm Hubig Pie: I got drunk, wooh oh yeah.
	12:13pm Bob: What's the general opinion of the Stones single? I kinda like it. I would love to see them end on a strong record.
	12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @12:10 Bought!
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:13 like! ronnie wood gets a great albert king tone and style!
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ David Watts @12:12 Yep. There will probably be a flyover this evening. I hesitate to go anywhere because street parking gets snapped up
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "You Were On My Mind" by "Billy Lee Riley" No bad versions
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:13 DANG - your pies are $60/dozen - hubigs.com
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:15 gotta pay for that new factory under the bridge!!
	12:15pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:11 Love it when Nick Saban loses, as fun as seeing Belichick lose. I'm a Volunteer fan but I can watch that 2013 Iron Bowl fiasco any time.
	12:15pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Boogie Children" by "Dale Hawkins" Wow great take
	12:16pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:13 Yeah. It's the most memorable riff in a long time. I really think the Blue Lonesome record is underrated myself. A great Mick showcase. But Keith isn't doing that much on it.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:15 ya'll's playing florida today - should be a no-brainer.
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: Debating going to see Peelander-Z and Dog Party tonight. Complicated by football.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:16 the main riff is keith's. i was referring to ron's solo - love it!
	12:17pm rx "rexy" scabin: Excellent basil harvest here = making pesto here.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:17 u need a bike! .
	12:18pm drr: the quicker picker-upper
	12:18pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Nancy Wilson" I'd guessing this is not Rhoda's mom?
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:15 Insurance paid for that
	12:18pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Joey! @12:09 We're all in agreement here, except for the one person to whom it matters.
	12:19pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:17 Oh, I have one. I'll probably ride down there. However, there may be a girl involved.
	12:19pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Nancy Wilson" Helen Reddy vibe
	12:19pm rx "rexy" scabin: This is number 1.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:19 side-car?
	12:19pm DG: This is Nancy Walker? Doesn't sound like Rhoda's mom.
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Nancy Wilson" I love this song

	12:20pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:19 cherchez le femme!!
	12:20pm drr: I think this is Nancy WILSON.
	12:21pm jmd: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Nancy Wilson" the bass player knows how to get down. Whoa!
	12:21pm drr: I want it to be Nancy Walker.
	12:21pm STP: My wife is an admin in nyc for 37 yrs Last of a dying breed lol
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @12:20 I think you're right
	12:21pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Nancy Wilson" At my place, they've consolidated. Each "big wig" had their own assistant, now there's just one per facility. Less likely due to WFH stuff and more due to paying one person to perform the functions of three.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:21 so does she!
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:21 was that the "stuff" you were dealing with?
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:21 also dude: MovieTime!!!
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: ↳ jmd @12:21 indeed
	12:24pm Panther: RAMONESSSSSSSSS!!!!!
	12:24pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:21 Agreed. A whole new level of respect.
	12:24pm rx "rexy" scabin: I thought it was supposedto be Carbona.
	12:24pm clarke: for me: Bad For Each Other w/lizbeth scott (hubba hubba!) and Temptation Harbour (brit hitchcock rip) both 1947.
	12:25pm egould: ↳ Song: "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" by "Ramones" Number oneyist!
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' John William Cummings (October 8, 1948 – September 15, 2004), better known by his stage name Johnny Ramones '... BillyZoom observed - did anyone ever do that thing better than Johnny Ramone ? Did you ever hear him make a mistake ?...
	12:26pm kevino: Maybe you should impose a 5 post maximum!
	12:27pm clarke: one of them.
	12:28pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "I'm In Love" by "Fourmost, The" Gotta follow this up with that Bug Club song.
	12:28pm Hubig Pie: The Ramones - a cautionary tale. Stop sniffin' glue, lay offa that junk.
	12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'm In Love" by "Fourmost, The" 'Gave away' ...pedaled Songs for profit ! But some they didn't do themselves obvsly...
	12:28pm listener phat in Lincoln: Fake Beatles!
	12:28pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I'm In Love" by "Fourmost, The" I dunno but I hear more Rutles than Beatles
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:22 No, it wasn't work related.
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:29 sorry to hear that!
	12:30pm clarke: hope thangs're better!
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is good : www.amazon.com... - dunno why it's $60 there...
	12:30pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:22 Watched "Shag" and "Diner" last night on TCM. It was a "coming of age" theme. Hadn't seen either before, liked Diner better than Shag. Also watched "Devil In A Blue Dress" with Denzel earlier this wee, which I really enjoyed. Plus caught "The Prize" with Paul Newman as well, which was a lot of fun. What about you?
	12:31pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: ↳ Song: "Love You Back To Georgia" by "Bolt Upright" Love this song. Bought it on discogs right after you played it last time and DJed it a friend's event right after.
	12:31pm paul: ↳ Song: "Love You Back To Georgia" by "Bolt Upright" Did Robby Fulks write this?
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:30 i mentioned above some of them. you got some good ones! Diner i haven't revisited in a while - but, was REALLY into it for years!
	12:32pm ojai John: Always impressed with the set list . Songs I never heard but like. Novelty songs I smile as they warble.
	12:32pm Don Gorden: Yo mike , Mornings are better with a cup of #$1 hits
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:30 =The Prize is one i haven't seen yet. good reminder! Devil is really great! need to re-visit that too.
	12:33pm paul: ↳ paul @12:31 Robbie
	12:33pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:32 I think i would've liked it better if I had seen it when I was younger. It's hard to relate to "coming of age" movies when you're already "of age". I can say why it's considered so great though.
	12:33pm Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "I'm In Love" by "Fourmost, The" A fierce study/amalgamation of Beatles songs Do You Want To Know A Secret, Anytime At All, All I’ve Got To Do and maybe one other that escapes me now… Wonder when it places in terms of those other songs (think the 2nd one might have been ‘65, which would have been after).
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: You know what they say, "With the lights out ... it's less dangerous"
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We have Minority Rule. Every state gets two Senators regardless of Population. We don't Vote for the Supreme Court... Electoral College.
	12:34pm clarke: also, all summer i watched one episode of Breaking Bad a night (third viewing overall) - it was really great! and then i finished and watched El Camino, right after. wonderful.
	12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: Not shocked by Boebert.
	12:34pm James in ATL: Well stated, Michael! Stop voting for idiots!
	12:35pm Andres: She represents some of those people all too well!
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: www.advocate.com...
	12:35pm egould: ↳ Song: "Put It To A Vote (demo)" by "Car Smith And Marsha... Are Marshall Jones and Booker T. Jones related?
	12:35pm jon d: Guess she and her date were havin some fun!
	12:35pm myron feld: Boebert: the people who voted for her LOVE that she acts like that -- "sticking it to the man" and so on. Halfwits gonna halfwit.
	12:35pm paul: Car Smith eventually founded the Cars.
	12:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ paul @12:31 Maybe Dash Riprock is on the writing credits?
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: ↳ paul @12:31 right!
	12:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:34 Love Breaking Bad, but did not see El Camino. I forgot to mention that we also binged "Good Omens" on Amazon. Series 1 was good, Series 2 was not so good. Good performances, just dopey story line.
	12:36pm Chief Guy: Many political figures do not represent us. The extremes are over represented due to gerrymandering and disenchantment of the middle.
	12:36pm PatrickMC: My take on Boebert @ Beetlejuice is a huge yawn. Except that I find the omnipresence of cameras inside and outside the theater creepy. Irrespective of who they capture.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:34 i wonder if anyone has seen El Camino independantly of either series it is associated with?? and does it stand alone??
	12:36pm TimG: Unfortunately, she absolutely represents a certain (too large) portion of our people. Ugh.
	12:36pm Moammar: ↳ Chief Guy @12:36 Her date was not at all disenchanted with her middle.
	12:36pm paul: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:35 I like this earlier stuff better.
	12:37pm jon d: R Rabbit…..we have something called the US Constitution…. imagine that.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:36 never hoid of it! thnx!
	12:37pm rx "rexy" scabin: @PatrickMC the cameras are creepy.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We also have a Zero Sum - All Or Nothing system of supposed 'representation'. (See previous reference to Electoral College...) Point being - these morons do not represent us or the USA.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Gotta Get A Record Out" by "Green" oh yes!
	12:38pm drr: It was Hal Ashby week here: watched The Last Detail (1973?) and The Landlord (1970). The Landlord stars Beau Bridges and Pearl Bailey, it's a bout a privileged boy who decides to buy and renovate a dilapidated brownstone in the ghetto neighborhood...Park Slope. Like every Ashby movie I've seen, it's a bit overdone and occasionally frustrating but I liked it. Same for The Last Detail.
	12:38pm egould: ↳ Song: "Gotta Get A Record Out" by "Green" So damn number one!
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ jon d @12:37 With Amendments. Which means - we can change & improve it to have more Democracy. Imagine that.
	12:38pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Gotta Get A Record Out" by "Green" Awesome
	12:38pm Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @12:38 I like both of those, Detail much better than Landlord.
	12:38pm Moammar: ↳ drr @12:38 Early Carol Kane sighting!
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:38 love both of those!! i love Last Detail - it is almost a straight adaptation of the book, tho.
	12:39pm clarke: touchdown!!!
	12:40pm DG: Lauren B. had the closest election in the country when she ran (for her 2nd term---jesus), she won by less than 600 votes. I'm getting endless emails from her opponent, so get to work Colorado voters. She's not only a far-right nutjob, she obviously went to the Trump School of Etiquette.
	12:40pm jon d: Change yes. Improve no
	12:40pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:38 I reserved the novel of "The Landlord" from the library. The Last Detail seems like it would be a good book.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:40 it is almost exactly like the film - so yeah!
	12:41pm rx "rexy" scabin: This Number 1+.
	12:41pm egould: It’s pronounced “Row-bear”.
	12:41pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Dr. Robert" by "Plume" ... it's more fun in French, that's why
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Dr. Robert" by "Plume" Good point! Why cover this one? Bottom tier Beatles for me (which isn't to say that it sucks).
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DG @12:40 There's also the matter of Elections being Sold to the highest bidders. We need to get Money out of it - tell the People the Facts & the Truth - & let the Majority decide. This is called Democracy. We are not quite that.
	12:41pm yerfriendpaul: I have something in common with Plume. My band in college covered Dr Robert as well!
	12:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Dr. Robert" by "Plume" They covered it because of the amazing modulations! This song is great and ridiculous.
	12:42pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Dr. Robert" by "Plume" Why not Docteur Robért
	12:43pm John L: ↳ drr @12:38 Finally saw The Landlord last year; I thought Diana Sands was great. Sadly she passed away a few years later.
	12:43pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Don't Look Now" by "Creedence Clearwater Revival " Is this a first?
	12:43pm drr: cool Minutemen cover
	12:43pm DG: RR Nov. 63: Yes, agree. Also, this is a weird Beatles song to cover, I always thought it was one of the weaker Revolver tracks (which is why I prefer Rubber Soul---Revolver has a few songs that don't work...or are just more interesting sound-wise than music-wise).
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Funny ...I don't really have a 'lower tier' Beatles. But 'Dr.Robert' is about the delivery - the weird harmonies - the ringing but fuzzy drugged up gittar sound. Oh & the lyrics ~ theme... 'Revolver' - yerknow... Still - that wasn't terrible.
	12:44pm clarke: you guys are crazy. dr. robert is #1 as they git.
	12:44pm bobobob plasticland Milwaukee: that's the only thing I agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene when she called Lauren Boubert a "little Bitch".amen!!!
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:44 finger-picking alone.
	12:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:44 Agreed
	12:45pm drr: ↳ John L @12:43 Yes, agreed. Great performance.
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DG @12:43 John was more Relevant & Paul was more Musical. It's broad & cliched but - also kinda true...
	12:45pm Listener Baby: ‘Twas 3 LPs in 18 months. All classics. Mind blowing stat
	12:45pm gf2002: My take on Jan & Dean: Jan as a producer would hire a studio full of Wrecking Crew musicians, 2 drummers, 3-4 guitars, 2-3 bassists, horns, etc, and create these grand Spector-like backing tracks. Then when the records came out, too often the vocals would be out of tune, or would sound like they didn't care. That's where Brian Wilson had the advantage, the vocals were well-crafted and jumped out of the speakers. I never understood that about Jan Berry, why he'd get close to the finish line and slow up.
	12:45pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:45 "John was the artist; Paul was the craftsman" I've heard it said
	12:46pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:44 What clarke said. Never don't turn it up when it pops up for me.
	12:46pm Moammar: Now "Little Murders" -- there was a movie. My wife used it as a test for prospective boyfriends. Guess I passed.
	12:46pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @12:45 Invented jangle rock, power pop, and psychedelic rock during that 18 month span.
	12:46pm bobobob fabtriplasticland: but Marjorie T Greene is a Witch Bitch herself..and I live on Ga.
	12:47pm clarke: thank ya they-ah!!
	12:47pm drr: ↳ bobobob plasticland Milwaukee @12:44 Also loved when some reporter asked MTG "Why did you call Lauren Boebert a 'little bitch'?, and MTG said "Well, it's because she was a little bitch to me." Otherwise, get MTG outta here. many of my relatives live in her district; not asking how they voted.
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dano59 @12:45 Looking to their backgrounds - ArtSchool Beatnik for John - son of a working minor Musician & cotton salmon & nurse for Paul - there's a lot of truth to that one too. But then it's about the nuances from there...
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:44 I feel like the subject matter gives that song more weight than it would have if it were about anything else.
	12:47pm drr: The movie "Little Murders" is one you can skip.
	12:48pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Don't Look Now" by "Creedence Clearwater Revival " I could hear a little Waylon Jennings in Fogerty's delivery.
	12:48pm Don Gorden: this tune reminds me of MST 3000
	12:48pm gf2002: Paul had more patience in the studio and was willing to spend a lot of time crafting a track, whereas John was impatient and wanted to get something done and move on. So yes Paul was a craftsman and had a natural musical talent
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:47 cotton *salesman...
	12:49pm egould: ↳ Don Gorden @12:48 In the not too distant future…
	12:49pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:47 Play that one loudah, theah.
	12:49pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Maharishi" by "Tripwires, The" finally, a cover of Maharishi!
	12:49pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Maharishi" by "Tripwires, The" Okay. This blows minds. Michael Shelley, is this dedicated to you?
	12:50pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Maharishi" by "Tripwires, The" Now this is a baffling cover.
	12:50pm clarke: cotton salmon. yes.
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:47 Well - it's about being on substances straddling the line of legality from a somewhat sinister Doctor ...so I see the theme & sonics as of a piece. Maybe I'm just in John's corner a lot ...& adore 'Revolver' a bunch...
	12:51pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Maharishi" by "Tripwires, The" Why didn't Mike Love cover this one...
	12:51pm Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @12:51 Because it would have blown chunks?
	12:52pm drr: ↳ Moammar @12:46 Really? I couldn't stick with it. I can't remember why now; I had high hopes for it. What'd I miss?
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:51 he couldn't get out from under the coaster.
	12:52pm Don Gorden: ↳ egould @12:49 yup
	12:52pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Kids From Queens" by "Successful Failures, The" of a piece with Jeffrey Lewis' 'Part-Time Punx'?
	12:52pm jon d: drr. …..mtg won with 64.9% of the vote. I guess that’s who voted for her
	12:53pm gf2002: ↳ Listener Baby @12:51 That is implied as a general rule haha
	12:54pm Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @12:53 Nuff said.
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ jon d @12:52 ...did I mention Republican Gerrymandering yet ? Cause that ...Candidates choosing their Voters instead of other way around ...if your Party's actual Policies put you in the popular Minority - anything other than Democracy will be your game.
	12:54pm Dano59: ↳ jon d @12:52 both Greene and Gaetz are in the reddest, poorest parts of their states
	12:55pm CalZone!: Swell show, MS!
	12:55pm Moammar: ↳ drr @12:52 I recall it being very weird, not totally enjoyable. But it was a test! It was the 1980s and I haven't seen it since.
	12:55pm Squints: ↳ Song: "That Time the Monkey Escaped from the Zoo" by "Mi... "I KNOW I'm lyin' in a field of grass somewhere."
	12:55pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:54 both parties do it, but it's a real broken (or FIXED) system. not a true democracy.
	12:55pm egould: ↳ Don Gorden @12:52 Seeing as Ohio State is playing Western Kentucky today, there’s no need to watch the game. Think I’ll sit around and watch MST3K, play guitar, and get drunk.
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: Lol
	12:55pm jon d: Gerrymandering? It goes both ways.
	12:55pm Dano59: LOL Ken and Joe McG and ...
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:55 this really blew my mind!
	12:56pm Chris Hiatt: Was that a top rate cameo from Joe McGasko?
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "That Time the Monkey Escaped from the Zoo" by "Mi... The world needs more radio dramas

	12:56pm Barefoot Jimmy G: THIS is how Planet of the Apes STARTS!
	12:57pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "That Time the Monkey Escaped from the Zoo" by "Mi... What a lotta of fun this is!
	12:57pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "That Time the Monkey Escaped from the Zoo" by "Mi... Monkey laughter excellent.
	12:57pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @12:56 I beieve you do that even without this prompting.
	12:57pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "That Time the Monkey Escaped from the Zoo" by "Mi... A Grammy for the Sound Effects editor!

	11:38am clarke: ↳ drr @11:37 they are, but apparently their a/c shit the bed, too. i think it's probably back open monday
	11:39am Andres: Good morning, Michael and all. Montreal in springtime! Fairmount Bagel! Otis, from the Sheena stream who lives there, is always happy to meet WFMU kin.
	11:39am love2laf: ↳ Geoffrey in Ottawa @11:37 And La Banquise for the very best poutine, and so many more. Frankly you can get some awesome food at the train station. Montreal food is my fave.
	11:40am jon d: When in Montreal, you have to go to Schwartz‘s deli for smoked meat!
	11:40am egould: ↳ Geoffrey in Ottawa @11:37 Thank you for this. I’ve added it to my list of places to eat in different cities. Montreal is on the shortlist of places to visit.
	11:40am tonyb: Copped the Criterion “Hard Days Night” at Cranford library sale for $5.! That film makes me misty. Those were different times.
	11:40am Marne: Montreal recs... if you're going in Spring, it'll be sugaring season. Go here: La Cabane d’à Côté.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ tonyb @11:40 not grotty.
	11:41am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Also, Le Cheval Blanc is a nice spot for a late afternoon beer.
	11:41am egould: ↳ clarke @11:41 Hahaha!
	11:42am jon d: And please try poutine!
	11:42am clarke: very clean.

	11:42am clarke: the way i understood it: yes, everything has two mics panned right and left - hard.
	11:42am Bob: Holland over Sunflower!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like Binaural like LouReed looked into ...so it's probly not...
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:42 dunno bout that, but close.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: What do we think -- refrigerated vegetable stock four months past the expiration date -- does it really go bad?
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "This Whole World" by "Beach Boys, The" Binaural recording? That's my guess. But also, I'd be shocked if this wasn't multi tracked as well.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 go for it!!
	11:44am Bob: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 I wouldn't
	11:44am tonyb: “She’s a drag. A well known drag.”
	11:44am Marne: And this bed and breakfast, next to the park: https://casa-bianca.hotels-in-montreal.net/en/
	11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:43 I think he did at least one live album binaural.
	11:44am love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 Unopened maybe, otherwise I would not risk it.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 Take a sniff first. The nose knows!
	11:44am drr: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 opened or not?
	11:44am egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 Has it been opened already? If so, then no. If sealed, yes.
	11:45am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:43 Medical advice should never be taken from a rock drummer
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My tag for this BB's period as represented on the recent 'Feel Flows' box : The BB's did for a whole handful of Albums what TheBeatles only got to on their very last & in many respects most mature & fully developed Studio effort - 'Abbey Road'. How's that scan with you lot ?
	11:45am clarke: it's vegetables.
	11:46am Dano59: ↳ egould @11:44 this might help me while cleaning out my fridge
	11:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @11:44 It's opened, yeah. OK. I will restrict clarke advice to activities that are MEANT to be dangerous!
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:46 you didnt say it was open. nope on that.
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @11:45 ...is that like 'never follow a hippy to a 2nd location'...
	11:47am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:45 not sure - weren't they using the Wollensack tape effects in '66-'67?
	11:47am Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:45 With better song. I'm sort of the unpopular opinion that Abbey Road barely has any songs, apart from the two by George
	11:47am drr: oh boy, I have a story about this one, but it's sad.
	11:48am Dano59: ↳ Bob @11:47 ... I can see that too. It sometimes lands as a novelty record
	11:49am DJ Johnny Cool: DIG IT! My favorite Cosimo Matassa production.
	11:49am Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:47 That's probably a good rule to live by. You know you're going to be three hours late to something
	11:50am Michael Shelley: ↳ Marne @11:44 was out of our budget range! but thanks for the suggestion!
	11:51am Michael Shelley: ↳ tonyb @11:40 top 10!
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @11:47 Interesting. There's 'Octopus's Garden' ! :D ...& Side2 being a medley of stray bits... By the same token as being their most mature Studio Pop - 'Abbey' is their most perfunctory, I'd say...
	11:51am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself a Lette... No bad versions
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:51 yer one o' THEM!!
	11:51am egould: ↳ Song: "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself a Lette... “Kisses on the bottom…”

	11:55am clarke: yes, there is a previous live version of Boozoo.
	11:55am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Boozoo, That's Who (live)" by "NRBQ" More Boozoo Chavis tribute songs, please.
	11:55am clarke: on the blue live album (god bless us all??)
	11:56am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:56am Moammar: ↳ Moammar @11:55 Getting out my glockenspiel to work up something fast in praise of Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots. Back shortly.
	11:58am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Boozoo, That's Who (live)" by "NRBQ" the new Q did Loft Sessions in 2014 and '15, with Bobby Llloyd Hicks on the former I think. I saw them in '15 at Solid Sound - still a great band, if you. were wondering
	11:58am Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:51 Thanks for the reminder about the Q release, Michael. I just grabbed one. Limited number.
	11:59am Bob: ↳ Bob @11:58 Whoops. That was for Mike.
	11:59am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Song: "Girl Don't Tell Me" by "Tony Rivers and the Casta... This isn't J&D, it's Tony Rivers and the Castaways.
	12:00pm David Watts: This song and September girls are #1 fall songs. And that Chad and Jeremy song
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:59 was gonna say.. yer a cookie...
	12:00pm davefromtoronto: who sings this on the BB's version?
	12:00pm Andres: In Montreal: Case del Popolo/Sala Rossa, food and live music Librarie Drawn and Quarterly, comics publisher bookshop Lola Rosa (Milton Parc and Place-Des-Arts), 100% plant based, my kid likes this place.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:59 are they chanting: michael!! michael!! ?>>
	12:01pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ clarke @12:00 ….full of useless musical facts.
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ davefromtoronto @12:00 Carl is it not.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:01 and arsenic!
	12:01pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ davefromtoronto @12:00 Carl's second lead vocal, not including the Xmas album.
	12:01pm Bob: ↳ Dano59 @11:58 Were there two or three? A couple of us were trying to remember. I feel like one of the other ones was a lot more interesting than this release but that's typical Terry. That amazing Love in Outer Space on the box came from another one.
	12:02pm davefromtoronto: thanks guys - one of my faves.
	12:02pm Joey!: Mike..i thought that was an Immediate track...Johnny Rivers and the Castaways...i could be wrong...
	12:03pm clarke: general business schaeffer.
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: I always thought Paul was kind of sloppy on Letterman
	12:03pm Handy Haversack: OK, it's errands time. APPARENTLY, I need vegetable stock. And vodka for egould. Yeah, for egould. Also, the cats. Thanks, MS! Glad to know we're still number ones! Later on, all.
	12:03pm drr: Boozoo gave the world the remarkable two-sided single LA Women Love Uncle Bud/Deacon Jones. Do NOT play at work. Do not play around anybody, really.
	12:03pm myron feld: ↳ David Watts @12:00 "A Summer Song" by C&J -- one of the saddest. When that rain beats against that windowpane, man oh man...
	12:03pm Cooh John: Talked to Casey M and John from NRBQ 2 weeks ago. They had a last minute call to fill in for LSJ opener.
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Girl Don't Tell Me' in the 'microgenre' (?) of tracks echoing 'Ticket To Ride' (also 'My Baby Don't Care' by Gants par example). Used to think it (BB's og) was earlier - like '64 or something... Always loved it anyhow.
	12:05pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:04 What I like about the Tony Rivers version is that it de-Beatles the Beach Boys' original and makes it actually sound more like a BB's song.
	12:05pm Panther: Thanks for playing Robert Gordon
	12:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: There's a home football game this evening here in the state's capitol.
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Song: "It's A Shame" by "Spinners, The" good. ness!!!
	12:06pm Panther: And The Spinners!! Wow!
	12:06pm drr: the backing vocals really make this
	12:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: I was playing bass in my first band and not going to class at that age.
	12:07pm Andres: ↳ Song: "It's A Shame" by "Spinners, The" #1 and gold!
	12:07pm Bob: I can't really forgive that long period on Letterman where all music acts had to play with the band, no matter how stupid it was. Little Village had Nick, Jim K. and Ry shoved to the back while John Hiatt and Paul's band were up front doing the single. I think that supergroup probably died right there. It had potential too.
	12:07pm Greg g: Morning Michael & fellow # 1 ‘s !!
	12:07pm drr: the lead vocal also makes this
	12:07pm David Watts: @listener phat in Lincoln Lincoln, NE? Those home games get rowdy!
	12:07pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "It's A Shame" by "Spinners, The" The seemingly spontaneous ad-lib vocals of the Spinners are a wonder to behold.
	12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:05 Nice. & Pete & Keith of TheWho could probly tell us something about how relevant Jan & Dean were inteh whole progression ...I guess Wilson Senior tried to drive Brian Wilson off them with a cattle prod (or whatever blunt object of abuse)...
	12:08pm clarke: full disclosure: will be dual-screening my college football game for the remaining portion of this show. and making vegetable broth.
	12:08pm yerfriendpaul: Hi Michael, everyone! Beautiful September Saturday
	12:08pm Doug in MP: ↳ Song: "It's A Shame" by "Spinners, The" Dang, Jamerson. Leave some notes for the rest of us
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:07 Not so much on this one but most of their other big hits all seem to end with tons of vocal vamping.
	12:08pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:08 I watched that Florida State game, that might be enough Tiger Time for a while.
	12:09pm egould: 19 and 20? I was writing songs, playing drums in a band in Bloomington, IN. Also, lots of drugs.
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - BandLeader is a skill for sure. Musical Director ...no I've no idea what Schafer 'sounds like'...
	12:09pm Joey!: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:05 Tony Rivers, right. Sorry. Immediate Records released it.
	12:09pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:08 What's in your broth?
	12:10pm clarke: lsu fighting tigers!!
	12:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, MS and mess! Anyone in need of coasters? www.wfmu.store...
	12:10pm Chris Hiatt: Good early afternoon, Michael Shelley and all. Happy to be tuning in for the second half!
	12:10pm clarke: (there is no broth, bob)
	12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ David Watts @12:07 They do. I live a few blocks from the stadium. I used to love game days here. Nowadays, not so much. It's a mixture of me getting older and people in Nebraska getting dumber.
	12:11pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @12:10 GROOVY!
	12:11pm David Watts: Wow that radio days song was #1
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:08 yes, it was rahhhhthahh off-putting, but bama got owned by texas - so all is even.
	12:12pm Cooh John: Melody. Rhymes with Sheely.
	12:12pm David Watts: @listener phat in Lincoln watch out for the sidewalk barf. I remember being woke up by F16 flyovers for game days.
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "You Were On My Mind" by "Billy Lee Riley" - the Flying Saucer RnR man ?
	12:13pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "You Were On My Mind" by "Billy Lee Riley" Dammit. I was using this as the basis for my glockenspiel tribute to Sunpie. Back to the drawing board.
	12:13pm Hubig Pie: I got drunk, wooh oh yeah.
	12:13pm Bob: What's the general opinion of the Stones single? I kinda like it. I would love to see them end on a strong record.
	12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @12:10 Bought!
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:13 like! ronnie wood gets a great albert king tone and style!
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ David Watts @12:12 Yep. There will probably be a flyover this evening. I hesitate to go anywhere because street parking gets snapped up
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "You Were On My Mind" by "Billy Lee Riley" No bad versions
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:13 DANG - your pies are $60/dozen - hubigs.com
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:15 gotta pay for that new factory under the bridge!!
	12:15pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:11 Love it when Nick Saban loses, as fun as seeing Belichick lose. I'm a Volunteer fan but I can watch that 2013 Iron Bowl fiasco any time.
	12:15pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Boogie Children" by "Dale Hawkins" Wow great take
	12:16pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:13 Yeah. It's the most memorable riff in a long time. I really think the Blue Lonesome record is underrated myself. A great Mick showcase. But Keith isn't doing that much on it.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:15 ya'll's playing florida today - should be a no-brainer.
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: Debating going to see Peelander-Z and Dog Party tonight. Complicated by football.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:16 the main riff is keith's. i was referring to ron's solo - love it!
	12:17pm rx "rexy" scabin: Excellent basil harvest here = making pesto here.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:17 u need a bike! .
	12:18pm drr: the quicker picker-upper
	12:18pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Nancy Wilson" I'd guessing this is not Rhoda's mom?
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:15 Insurance paid for that
	12:18pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Joey! @12:09 We're all in agreement here, except for the one person to whom it matters.
	12:19pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:17 Oh, I have one. I'll probably ride down there. However, there may be a girl involved.
	12:19pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Nancy Wilson" Helen Reddy vibe
	12:19pm rx "rexy" scabin: This is number 1.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:19 side-car?
	12:19pm DG: This is Nancy Walker? Doesn't sound like Rhoda's mom.
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Nancy Wilson" I love this song
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:19 If only!
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:19 cherchez le femme!!
	12:20pm drr: I think this is Nancy WILSON.
	12:21pm jmd: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Nancy Wilson" the bass player knows how to get down. Whoa!
	12:21pm drr: I want it to be Nancy Walker.
	12:21pm STP: My wife is an admin in nyc for 37 yrs Last of a dying breed lol
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @12:20 I think you're right
	12:21pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Nancy Wilson" At my place, they've consolidated. Each "big wig" had their own assistant, now there's just one per facility. Less likely due to WFH stuff and more due to paying one person to perform the functions of three.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:21 so does she!
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:21 was that the "stuff" you were dealing with?
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:21 also dude: MovieTime!!!
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: ↳ jmd @12:21 indeed
	12:24pm Panther: RAMONESSSSSSSSS!!!!!
	12:24pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:21 Agreed. A whole new level of respect.
	12:24pm rx "rexy" scabin: I thought it was supposedto be Carbona.
	12:24pm clarke: for me: Bad For Each Other w/lizbeth scott (hubba hubba!) and Temptation Harbour (brit hitchcock rip) both 1947.
	12:25pm egould: ↳ Song: "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" by "Ramones" Number oneyist!
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' John William Cummings (October 8, 1948 – September 15, 2004), better known by his stage name Johnny Ramones '... BillyZoom observed - did anyone ever do that thing better than Johnny Ramone ? Did you ever hear him make a mistake ?...
	12:26pm kevino: Maybe you should impose a 5 post maximum!
	12:27pm clarke: one of them.
	12:28pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "I'm In Love" by "Fourmost, The" Gotta follow this up with that Bug Club song.
	12:28pm Hubig Pie: The Ramones - a cautionary tale. Stop sniffin' glue, lay offa that junk.
	12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'm In Love" by "Fourmost, The" 'Gave away' ...pedaled Songs for profit ! But some they didn't do themselves obvsly...
	12:28pm listener phat in Lincoln: Fake Beatles!
	12:28pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I'm In Love" by "Fourmost, The" I dunno but I hear more Rutles than Beatles
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:22 No, it wasn't work related.
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:29 sorry to hear that!
	12:30pm clarke: hope thangs're better!
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is good : www.amazon.com... - dunno why it's $60 there...
	12:30pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:22 Watched "Shag" and "Diner" last night on TCM. It was a "coming of age" theme. Hadn't seen either before, liked Diner better than Shag. Also watched "Devil In A Blue Dress" with Denzel earlier this wee, which I really enjoyed. Plus caught "The Prize" with Paul Newman as well, which was a lot of fun. What about you?
	12:31pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: ↳ Song: "Love You Back To Georgia" by "Bolt Upright" Love this song. Bought it on discogs right after you played it last time and DJed it a friend's event right after.
	12:31pm paul: ↳ Song: "Love You Back To Georgia" by "Bolt Upright" Did Robby Fulks write this?
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:30 i mentioned above some of them. you got some good ones! Diner i haven't revisited in a while - but, was REALLY into it for years!
	12:32pm ojai John: Always impressed with the set list . Songs I never heard but like. Novelty songs I smile as they warble.
	12:32pm Don Gorden: Yo mike , Mornings are better with a cup of #$1 hits
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:30 =The Prize is one i haven't seen yet. good reminder! Devil is really great! need to re-visit that too.
	12:33pm paul: ↳ paul @12:31 Robbie
	12:33pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:32 I think i would've liked it better if I had seen it when I was younger. It's hard to relate to "coming of age" movies when you're already "of age". I can say why it's considered so great though.
	12:33pm Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "I'm In Love" by "Fourmost, The" A fierce study/amalgamation of Beatles songs Do You Want To Know A Secret, Anytime At All, All I’ve Got To Do and maybe one other that escapes me now… Wonder when it places in terms of those other songs (think the 2nd one might have been ‘65, which would have been after).
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: You know what they say, "With the lights out ... it's less dangerous"
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We have Minority Rule. Every state gets two Senators regardless of Population. We don't Vote for the Supreme Court... Electoral College.
	12:34pm clarke: also, all summer i watched one episode of Breaking Bad a night (third viewing overall) - it was really great! and then i finished and watched El Camino, right after. wonderful.
	12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: Not shocked by Boebert.
	12:34pm James in ATL: Well stated, Michael! Stop voting for idiots!
	12:35pm Andres: She represents some of those people all too well!
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: www.advocate.com...
	12:35pm egould: ↳ Song: "Put It To A Vote (demo)" by "Car Smith And Marsha... Are Marshall Jones and Booker T. Jones related?
	12:35pm jon d: Guess she and her date were havin some fun!
	12:35pm myron feld: Boebert: the people who voted for her LOVE that she acts like that -- "sticking it to the man" and so on. Halfwits gonna halfwit.
	12:35pm paul: Car Smith eventually founded the Cars.
	12:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ paul @12:31 Maybe Dash Riprock is on the writing credits?
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: ↳ paul @12:31 right!
	12:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:34 Love Breaking Bad, but did not see El Camino. I forgot to mention that we also binged "Good Omens" on Amazon. Series 1 was good, Series 2 was not so good. Good performances, just dopey story line.
	12:36pm Chief Guy: Many political figures do not represent us. The extremes are over represented due to gerrymandering and disenchantment of the middle.
	12:36pm PatrickMC: My take on Boebert @ Beetlejuice is a huge yawn. Except that I find the omnipresence of cameras inside and outside the theater creepy. Irrespective of who they capture.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:34 i wonder if anyone has seen El Camino independantly of either series it is associated with?? and does it stand alone??
	12:36pm TimG: Unfortunately, she absolutely represents a certain (too large) portion of our people. Ugh.
	12:36pm Moammar: ↳ Chief Guy @12:36 Her date was not at all disenchanted with her middle.
	12:36pm paul: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:35 I like this earlier stuff better.
	12:37pm jon d: R Rabbit…..we have something called the US Constitution…. imagine that.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:36 never hoid of it! thnx!
	12:37pm rx "rexy" scabin: @PatrickMC the cameras are creepy.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We also have a Zero Sum - All Or Nothing system of supposed 'representation'. (See previous reference to Electoral College...) Point being - these morons do not represent us or the USA.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Gotta Get A Record Out" by "Green" oh yes!
	12:38pm drr: It was Hal Ashby week here: watched The Last Detail (1973?) and The Landlord (1970). The Landlord stars Beau Bridges and Pearl Bailey, it's a bout a privileged boy who decides to buy and renovate a dilapidated brownstone in the ghetto neighborhood...Park Slope. Like every Ashby movie I've seen, it's a bit overdone and occasionally frustrating but I liked it. Same for The Last Detail.
	12:38pm egould: ↳ Song: "Gotta Get A Record Out" by "Green" So damn number one!
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ jon d @12:37 With Amendments. Which means - we can change & improve it to have more Democracy. Imagine that.
	12:38pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Gotta Get A Record Out" by "Green" Awesome
	12:38pm Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @12:38 I like both of those, Detail much better than Landlord.
	12:38pm Moammar: ↳ drr @12:38 Early Carol Kane sighting!
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:38 love both of those!! i love Last Detail - it is almost a straight adaptation of the book, tho.
	12:39pm clarke: touchdown!!!
	12:40pm DG: Lauren B. had the closest election in the country when she ran (for her 2nd term---jesus), she won by less than 600 votes. I'm getting endless emails from her opponent, so get to work Colorado voters. She's not only a far-right nutjob, she obviously went to the Trump School of Etiquette.
	12:40pm jon d: Change yes. Improve no
	12:40pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:38 I reserved the novel of "The Landlord" from the library. The Last Detail seems like it would be a good book.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:40 it is almost exactly like the film - so yeah!
	12:41pm rx "rexy" scabin: This Number 1+.
	12:41pm egould: It’s pronounced “Row-bear”.
	12:41pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Dr. Robert" by "Plume" ... it's more fun in French, that's why
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Dr. Robert" by "Plume" Good point! Why cover this one? Bottom tier Beatles for me (which isn't to say that it sucks).
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DG @12:40 There's also the matter of Elections being Sold to the highest bidders. We need to get Money out of it - tell the People the Facts & the Truth - & let the Majority decide. This is called Democracy. We are not quite that.
	12:41pm yerfriendpaul: I have something in common with Plume. My band in college covered Dr Robert as well!
	12:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Dr. Robert" by "Plume" They covered it because of the amazing modulations! This song is great and ridiculous.
	12:42pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Dr. Robert" by "Plume" Why not Docteur Robért
	12:43pm John L: ↳ drr @12:38 Finally saw The Landlord last year; I thought Diana Sands was great. Sadly she passed away a few years later.
	12:43pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Don't Look Now" by "Creedence Clearwater Revival " Is this a first?
	12:43pm drr: cool Minutemen cover
	12:43pm DG: RR Nov. 63: Yes, agree. Also, this is a weird Beatles song to cover, I always thought it was one of the weaker Revolver tracks (which is why I prefer Rubber Soul---Revolver has a few songs that don't work...or are just more interesting sound-wise than music-wise).
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Funny ...I don't really have a 'lower tier' Beatles. But 'Dr.Robert' is about the delivery - the weird harmonies - the ringing but fuzzy drugged up gittar sound. Oh & the lyrics ~ theme... 'Revolver' - yerknow... Still - that wasn't terrible.
	12:44pm clarke: you guys are crazy. dr. robert is #1 as they git.
	12:44pm bobobob plasticland Milwaukee: that's the only thing I agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene when she called Lauren Boubert a "little Bitch".amen!!!
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:44 finger-picking alone.
	12:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:44 Agreed
	12:45pm drr: ↳ John L @12:43 Yes, agreed. Great performance.
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DG @12:43 John was more Relevant & Paul was more Musical. It's broad & cliched but - also kinda true...
	12:45pm Listener Baby: ‘Twas 3 LPs in 18 months. All classics. Mind blowing stat
	12:45pm gf2002: My take on Jan & Dean: Jan as a producer would hire a studio full of Wrecking Crew musicians, 2 drummers, 3-4 guitars, 2-3 bassists, horns, etc, and create these grand Spector-like backing tracks. Then when the records came out, too often the vocals would be out of tune, or would sound like they didn't care. That's where Brian Wilson had the advantage, the vocals were well-crafted and jumped out of the speakers. I never understood that about Jan Berry, why he'd get close to the finish line and slow up.
	12:45pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:45 "John was the artist; Paul was the craftsman" I've heard it said
	12:46pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:44 What clarke said. Never don't turn it up when it pops up for me.
	12:46pm Moammar: Now "Little Murders" -- there was a movie. My wife used it as a test for prospective boyfriends. Guess I passed.
	12:46pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @12:45 Invented jangle rock, power pop, and psychedelic rock during that 18 month span.
	12:46pm bobobob fabtriplasticland: but Marjorie T Greene is a Witch Bitch herself..and I live on Ga.
	12:47pm clarke: thank ya they-ah!!
	12:47pm drr: ↳ bobobob plasticland Milwaukee @12:44 Also loved when some reporter asked MTG "Why did you call Lauren Boebert a 'little bitch'?, and MTG said "Well, it's because she was a little bitch to me." Otherwise, get MTG outta here. many of my relatives live in her district; not asking how they voted.
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dano59 @12:45 Looking to their backgrounds - ArtSchool Beatnik for John - son of a working minor Musician & cotton salmon & nurse for Paul - there's a lot of truth to that one too. But then it's about the nuances from there...
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:44 I feel like the subject matter gives that song more weight than it would have if it were about anything else.
	12:47pm drr: The movie "Little Murders" is one you can skip.
	12:48pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Don't Look Now" by "Creedence Clearwater Revival " I could hear a little Waylon Jennings in Fogerty's delivery.
	12:48pm Don Gorden: this tune reminds me of MST 3000
	12:48pm gf2002: Paul had more patience in the studio and was willing to spend a lot of time crafting a track, whereas John was impatient and wanted to get something done and move on. So yes Paul was a craftsman and had a natural musical talent
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:47 cotton *salesman...
	12:49pm egould: ↳ Don Gorden @12:48 In the not too distant future…
	12:49pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:47 Play that one loudah, theah.
	12:49pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Maharishi" by "Tripwires, The" finally, a cover of Maharishi!
	12:49pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Maharishi" by "Tripwires, The" Okay. This blows minds. Michael Shelley, is this dedicated to you?
	12:50pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Maharishi" by "Tripwires, The" Now this is a baffling cover.
	12:50pm clarke: cotton salmon. yes.
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:47 Well - it's about being on substances straddling the line of legality from a somewhat sinister Doctor ...so I see the theme & sonics as of a piece. Maybe I'm just in John's corner a lot ...& adore 'Revolver' a bunch...
	12:51pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Maharishi" by "Tripwires, The" Why didn't Mike Love cover this one...
	12:51pm Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @12:51 Because it would have blown chunks?
	12:52pm drr: ↳ Moammar @12:46 Really? I couldn't stick with it. I can't remember why now; I had high hopes for it. What'd I miss?
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:51 he couldn't get out from under the coaster.
	12:52pm Don Gorden: ↳ egould @12:49 yup
	12:52pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Kids From Queens" by "Successful Failures, The" of a piece with Jeffrey Lewis' 'Part-Time Punx'?
	12:52pm jon d: drr. …..mtg won with 64.9% of the vote. I guess that’s who voted for her
	12:53pm gf2002: ↳ Listener Baby @12:51 That is implied as a general rule haha
	12:54pm Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @12:53 Nuff said.
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ jon d @12:52 ...did I mention Republican Gerrymandering yet ? Cause that ...Candidates choosing their Voters instead of other way around ...if your Party's actual Policies put you in the popular Minority - anything other than Democracy will be your game.
	12:54pm Dano59: ↳ jon d @12:52 both Greene and Gaetz are in the reddest, poorest parts of their states
	12:55pm CalZone!: Swell show, MS!
	12:55pm Moammar: ↳ drr @12:52 I recall it being very weird, not totally enjoyable. But it was a test! It was the 1980s and I haven't seen it since.
	12:55pm Squints: ↳ Song: "That Time the Monkey Escaped from the Zoo" by "Mi... "I KNOW I'm lyin' in a field of grass somewhere."
	12:55pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:54 both parties do it, but it's a real broken (or FIXED) system. not a true democracy.
	12:55pm egould: ↳ Don Gorden @12:52 Seeing as Ohio State is playing Western Kentucky today, there’s no need to watch the game. Think I’ll sit around and watch MST3K, play guitar, and get drunk.
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: Lol
	12:55pm jon d: Gerrymandering? It goes both ways.
	12:55pm Dano59: LOL Ken and Joe McG and ...

	12:57pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "That Time the Monkey Escaped from the Zoo" by "Mi... Monkey laughter excellent.
	12:57pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @12:56 I beieve you do that even without this prompting.
	12:57pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "That Time the Monkey Escaped from the Zoo" by "Mi... A Grammy for the Sound Effects editor!
