	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I Can't Explain" by "Ones, The" Got more of the actual Who dynamics than a lot of U.S. Garage covers ! :D TheWho after all took a minute to filter into U.S. culture...

	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If there's a bad Everlys recording - I ain't heard it yet...
	11:30am Frank In Queens: Wow, that cake sounds redonkulous.
	11:31am goes211: Coasters please!
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: That's eggs and bacon, isn't it?

	11:36am egould: Magnets stick to my stainless steel fridge.
	11:36am greg g: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:33 Vote for Fingers !
	11:37am Geoffrey in Ottawa: I will never understand a fridge you can't put magnets on.
	11:37am Dano59: I like the CDs; but - how about a zine, dry-erase board, or a notepad/diary? Labor-intensive, I know.
	11:37am greg g: ...or coasters.
	11:38am Listener Baby: Baby. Michael Shelley Show electric car. Think about it.
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: I've been on a Stax kick lately (because of Andrew Hickey) and didn't have any idea they rarely played in minor keys. It was outlawed.

	11:38am Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @11:38 why Clay hasn't done a die-cast Gremlin yet is a mystery
	11:39am Peter Horvath: Ahoy Michael and all the #1’ers. Happy Saturday to all.

	11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @11:40 It's on Amazon, apparently
	11:44am Dano59: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:42 I'll update after Friday's shipment ... fingers crossed
	11:45am Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:44 "allegedly" i'd say. or discogs but I prefer not to go that route. My local takes pretty good care of me. Amazed most of my RSD list was still there when I showed up yesterday.
	11:47am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @11:45 I may check my local for it. I'm not optimistic.
	11:47am Listener Baby: ↳ egould @11:36 Really? Hmmm.

	11:49am Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:38 phat: happy holidays. Some rescued Stax 'basement tapes' (literally): moistworks.com...
	11:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "U.S. Male" by "Jerry Reed" A poet, father of a friend of mine, has a poem called something like "Where We Stand: A Definitive Catalogue of the Experience of the American Man." Its form is a list of urinal brands.

	11:52am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @11:49 Thanks!
	11:52am egould: ↳ Listener Baby @11:47 From Whirlpool website: Different types of stainless steels can generally be divided into two broad categories. Ferritic stainless steels, including grades 430 and 434, are magnetic due to their fundamental atomic structure, which has a high concentration of iron combined with chromium, molybdenum and silicon. I guess my fridge gas ferritic stainless? Residential stainless compared to commercial grade stainless?
	11:53am Cooh John: Song inspired by a real person.
	11:53am listener phat in Lincoln: Who wants to go to the store for me? I need cleaning supplies...
	11:54am Listener Baby: ↳ egould @11:52 Who knew?
	11:55am egould: Thank you Michael. I’m heading down to the bar to drink bourbon and watch college football. Go Bucks!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: I have never had a stainless-steel fridge. Mine stains, that's for sure.
	11:55am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:55 I was literally thinking about cleaning my fridge. Lol.
	11:55am Frank In Queens: Aren't we all after the feasting that occurred this holiday.
	11:55am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Ballad of Big Nothing" by "Elliot Smith" sounds like a degraded MP3/CD-R

	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:09 thanksgiving week: pie chart
	12:16pm paul: I think Jerry Reed plays guitar on this Ringo tune.
	12:16pm Hubig Pie: Is that a thin rippled wavy egg thing on Eddy's plate with a side of salmon bacon?
	12:16pm JG: This show is like a delicious turkey sandwich. Perfect combo of white/dark meat, cranberries, mayo and gravy. A little stuffing. White bread toast. That's how you do it.
	12:18pm clarke: eddy's coaster - good title, mate.
	12:20pm Moammar: Candy Staton is a gem. So many wonderful sides. "I'm Just a Prisoner" has the most wrenching modulation ever heard, provided courtesy of Joe South's Telecaster.
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:16 There has been much debate. Whatever it is, it has excellent gain structure.
	12:21pm johnk77: great show perhaps it is candi staton?
	12:21pm clarke: gain struck-chahhhh!!

	12:42pm StuartR: ↳ Song: "Red Dragon Tattoo" by "Fountains Of Wayne" Muffs with Kim, Fountains with Adam - great to hear every Saturday if not more often

	12:48pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Nightengale @12:46 W/ reverb gravy ?
	12:48pm Dano59: "live" is slippery with many BBC recordings anyway. No audience, usu. recorded and then broadcast later

	12:49pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Little Liza Jane" by "Huey Piano Smith" also fun as an old-time tune
	12:51pm UncleHeavy: ↳ Song: "Little Liza Jane" by "Huey Piano Smith" ...and what would it be with a little Lee Allen "Humoresque" interjection?? So good.
	12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "You Aint Nothin But Fine" by "Fabulous Thunderbir... Nice
	12:52pm Dano59: So many Edmunds connections in today's show
	12:53pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Song: "You Aint Nothin But Fine" by "Fabulous Thunderbir... Interesting that these guys and Rockpile covered an obscure Rockin' Sidney tune at about the same time.

	12:56pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @12:53 Billy Bremner said (when I interviewed him) Rockpile first heard it when the FTs opened for them and it always went over well, so they added it to their set - but he also said he never really cared for it!

	12:18pm clarke: eddy's coaster - good title, mate.
	12:20pm Moammar: Candy Staton is a gem. So many wonderful sides. "I'm Just a Prisoner" has the most wrenching modulation ever heard, provided courtesy of Joe South's Telecaster.

	12:56pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @12:53 Billy Bremner said (when I interviewed him) Rockpile first heard it when the FTs opened for them and it always went over well, so they added it to their set - but he also said he never really cared for it!
