	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Yvang: Hi DJ Peter, Tom Tom, Wendy, Alex!
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @10:03 Hey Yvang!
	♥ 10:03pm Mike Lupica: Stand by. Tech problems.
	♥ 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @8:24 yes, i am digging gif too...is it from ed wood? possibly "jailbait"?
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm Alex from Media: Hi i DJ Peter, Tom, Wendy, Yvang!
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:04 Alex!
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: It's the roofing nails. They really tie the drink together.
	♥ 10:05pm tom tom the pipers son: hello yvang and alex...

	♥ 10:08pm Mike Lupica: Howdy all! Tech issues seem to be worked out. LET'S DO THIS!
	10:09pm zmmz: wendy!? r u co-pilot tonight shw?
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ zmmz @10:09 Hey zmmz: No, Mike needs no co-pilot. I'm just a civilian tonight. A regular attendee, just like the rest o' youse.
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Yvang: ↳ zmmz @10:09 She's a VIP listener!
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @10:10 Aww, thanks, Yvang. <3
	♥ 10:11pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 LOL "Civilian DJ"!
	♥ 10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: hey mike... gif from ed wood?
	♥ 10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:12 I'm actually not sure!
	♥ 10:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:12 director not burton movie
	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:11 I'm wearing my listener hat, as well as my "Ambassador from Mondays on Give the Drummer Radio" hat. We Monday people love you Saturday folks! I can confidently issue this decree.
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Mike and hot, wired people
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm coelacanth∅: (...Welcome back!)
	♥ 10:18pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:17 Evenin' coelacanth∅ and all other Saturday Night FMU Pitcrew members. Is it obvious that I pounded an espresso 30 minutes ago?
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:13 I'd say the scenery seems too sophisticated and simple at the same time and the quality of the photography, the lighting etc. I don't think Ed Wood could afford so much excellence.
	♥ 10:19pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:18 Maybe my new strategy will be "door prize for whomever can positively ID the playlist gif" each week.
	♥ 10:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:18 had similar thoughts about the "protagonists"... the lighting looks pretty simple, just two lights from what i can figure and the set...no budget...so not sure..
	🥁 ♥ 10:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Kerosene" by "Big Black" Oh yay! When Rich played this last night, I was outside on the Bellows Falls Yacht Club's back deck and I missed it.
	♥ 10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:22 but right, lighting is kind of "artistic"
	🥁 ♥ 10:24pm coelacanth∅: i don't know but i want that car.
	🥁 ♥ 10:25pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:23 What a great track!
	♥ 10:26pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:25 I am presently in the process of removing the back wall of the Starlite Lounge with speaker volume.
	🥁 ♥ 10:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:26 Yeah, I'm rattling the windows in here for the same reason. And the fillings in my teeth.
	🥁 ♥ 10:27pm coelacanth∅: i never heard of shellac until last night. never heard of big black until ~15 years ago. (i knew Steve Albini only as an engineer/ producer)
	♥ 10:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:27 Better late than never, coelacanth∅!
	🥁 ♥ 10:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:27 Yeah, Shellac is new to me, too.
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm egal: butthole surfers live were scary.
	🥁 ♥ 10:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: "Sweaty-palmed record boys." Yup. That's a type.
	♥ 10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike, feel same way about albini
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm Yvang: "The End of Radio" is a scary title ...for radio DJs!
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Moonstruck" by "Sheer Mag" The expression on the faces of every single member of this band tells a story, and I wanna know what it is!
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm Alex from Media: What the Albini obits revealed to me was his enviable engineering philosophy. To basically listen to what the band wanted to sound like instead of creating "product".
	♥ 10:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:40 For real. I love his whole philosophy of wanting to be paid as though he were a plumber.
	♥ 10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:36 I'll address it later on, but his public reconciliation for awful things he said as a young man was 100% more sincere than any dipshit celebrity's apology tour for doing a racism on Twitter, or whatever.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 As a Gen-Xer, I'm going to publicly declare that many of us -- myself included -- said and believed some pretty ridiculous shit when we were younger, for which we had to unlearn and make amends for later in life. It seems a rite of passage. My own work in this department certainly continues.
	♥ 10:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Black Ice" by "RockATeens" Not for nothin', but this song boats one of the best, most meaningful utterances of the work FUCKIN of all time.
	♥ 10:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:46 Aye. Well put, Wendy.
	♥ 10:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 u huh, not familiar with this or really with his output just had an intuitive take on him that i was put off by... a sort of reactionary thread to him
	🥁 ♥ 10:48pm coelacanth∅: gotta go. i won't know if i'm working tonight 'till i get there. hopefully not, and i'll see y'all in a bit. Thanks Mike
	♥ 10:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:48 se ya coelacanthe
	♥ 10:49pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:48 HOT TAKE INCOMING: Steve Albini... The Grateful Dead ... Golf... all worthwhile things that are ruined by their most devoted fans.
	♥ 10:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:49 haha..!
	🥁 ♥ 10:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:49 OMG, I've been thinking about this a lot lately as I begin listening again to The Grateful Dead. And Frank Zappa. And The Allman Brothers. I needed a long hiatus because their superfans are so fucking annoying, it made me run in the other direction for about three decades.
	🥁 ♥ 10:51pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:49 True dat.
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:51 Can anything uncool music like being used in an ad or movie? Can Kate Bush get some love on this?
	🥁 ♥ 10:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:53 I'm not sure I understand the question.
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:55 Placing sacred music from one generation in a movie or ad for a new generation thus creating a furor and "rediscovery" among teeny boppers.
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Natural Successor" by "Pictish Trail" I'm thoroughly digging this.
	♥ 10:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:57 For whatever it's worth, the Kate Bush example is interesting for me because I was never really into her music but my wife was a mega fan. When the Stranger Things Bump happened, my daughter and I all became big fans for a dumb reason but we ultimately didn't care.
	♥ 10:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:59 Love me some fuzzed-out bass!
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:57 I still don't understand what you are asking. Is it okay to place "sacred music" in a new movie or ad that gets younger people excited about this music? Well, yes, of course it's okay. Why wouldn't it be?
	♥ 11:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:00 well i think he's just asking if it dilutes the music imho
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Hot, Hard, and Ready" by "Smokey" I feel like I should be wearing more leather than my Birkenstock house shoes (haha!) to even be allowed to listen to this song. Which is to say, I love it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:03 Thanks Tom. Thats what I was getting at. I'm not being as clear as my adult beverage.
	♥ 11:08pm tom tom the pipers son: @ wendy: winged wheel image is how i picture folks in vermont
	🥁 ♥ 11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:03 The concept of "dilution" confuses and concerns me. Who are the gatekeepers of any particular type of music, and why should they exist? Do we really believe that the value of a particular long-ago song or artist declines because today's teenagers like it? Who are we to decide who gets to enjoy what? I dunno. These are all big questions, and like the Jew I am, I'll just answer a question with more questions. (I'm also trying to get some work done, so maybe I don't even wanna discuss it right now.)
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:08 There is variety here. Just like anywhere else.
	♥ 11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:10 i don't really have an opinion about it, just translating, so don't kill the messenger....:) i've only been to vermont once so don't have much to go on... it just spoke vermont to me
	🥁 ♥ 11:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:10 Not gonna push it. Just a thought that didn't come across clearly and got worse as it went.
	🥁 ♥ 11:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:15 Who's killing anyone? My opinion was solicited. I responded. I disagreed.
	♥ 11:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:16 i wasn't expressing an opinion to be disagreed with
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:17 I'm going back to work now. I'd like to finish these meeting minutes before I go to sleep tonight.
	🥁 ♥ 11:19pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:17 That was for me. I'm okay with being disagreed with. Sorry if I upset you Wendy.
	🥁 ♥ 11:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:19 I'm not upset. Just saddened by what I perceived as the premise.
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: Very nice eulogy, Mike. Gary Floyd was far ahead of his time.
	♥ 11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike: seems to have lost some volume on this one for some reason
	♥ 11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: there thx
	♥ 11:24pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:23 Yep, my bad. Sorry!
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm Ike: Meow.
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm Yvang: By the way I just found the animated gif's source: it's in fact a commercial for Lincoln MotorCo design.annstreetstudio.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ike @11:26 Hey Ike!
	♥ 11:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:24 djing like love means never having to say your sorry
	♥ 11:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:26 amazing, what detective work....!
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:27 My computer crashed once and firefox twice during my research
	🥁 ♥ 11:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: Haha! I had a feeling you were gonna play this when you were telling the story, Mike! I played it on my show on Monday and was delighted for the same reason: we can play this on internet radio! And it deserves to be heard!
	♥ 11:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @11:28 But you did the work, Yvang!
	♥ 11:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:28 that's dedication, didn't know where to search for it
	🥁 ♥ 11:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night at the Bookstore" by "Dicks" TELL YOUR WIFE!!!
	🥁 ♥ 11:32pm coelacanth∅: i'm back. where's the booze?
	🥁 ♥ 11:32pm Yvang: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:32 At the bookstore!
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @11:32 Hahaha, I was going to say that!
	♥ 11:33pm tom tom the pipers son: this song reminds me of being cruised by a young library worker, i was surprised, uneasy and flattered. he must have been into bears
	🥁 ♥ 11:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Yvang @11:32 hahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 11:37pm coelacanth∅: ...i have 2 book stores within 1 minute's walk. hmm, now which one has better booze... (booze worth breaking in for)
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:37 Well. Gary Floyd would probably recommend breaking into the one with the glory holes.
	🥁 ♥ 11:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:40 Ah. "Glory Hole Books" it is then. Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 11:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:42 I'll bring the quarters!
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm coelacanth∅: that fish just needed some vita-meata-vegamin.
	♥ 11:46pm tom tom the pipers son: www.artsy.net...
	🥁 ♥ 11:47pm Yvang: Ah Ah! Great fish story!
	🥁 ♥ 11:48pm Yvang: Edit: great fish AND Chicken story!
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: I stood next to Mike Watt at Maxwell's and I was too shy to talk to him. It's one of my few regrets in life. I have a big crush on Watt and I wanted to kiss him!
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm coelacanth∅: sorry about your chicken Mike.
	♥ 11:53pm tom tom the pipers son: stood next to adam sandler at a traffic light in l.a. kind of chickened out, kind of had nothing to say except that i thought he was great in punch drunk love
	🥁 ♥ 11:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Transcendental Blues" by "Steve Earle" I hope everyone has seen Steve Earle's great role in the show "Treme." The dude can act, too!
	♥ 11:53pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:50 Thank coelacanth∅. She lived a good life!
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Humanity" by "Lava Larue" Low tones really coming across on this.
	♥ 11:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:55 Like, in a general way or a "bad audio" way?
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:56 in a good way. clear and boosted
	11:57pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Humanity" by "Lava Larue" I’m a stone cold junkie for a shuffle shamble rhythm! & a British isles accent. Yes 👏
	♥ 11:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:56 Ahh, good. Lava Larue is awesome. Check all of their stuff on Bandcamp, it's the best music to remind you of a rainy night in London.
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm coelacanth∅: i wonder if there's someone famous that i'd be scared to talk to. i wouldn't recognise most people, even my "heroes". but i've managed to get a hug from both sleater-kinney guitarists, and Katell Kaineg; an extended, warm handshake from Thomas Mapfumo...went to a diner with hüsker dü, ...had a very friendly conversation with Natalie Merchant but i had no idea it was her until after she'd left
	♥ 12:02am Mike Lupica: I clam up something fierce around famous people. I once rode an elevator with Joe Strummer and immediately transformed into the King of the Weenies. I've also insulted Fab Five Freddie (by accident) and once hid from PJ Harvey when I had the opportunity to meet her (because I knew if I did, I would commit some kind of public stupidity which I'd think about for the rest of my life.)
	🥁 ♥ 12:05am Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:02 Like when Tom Scharpling met Patty Smith in an elevator.
	♥ 12:06am Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @12:05 Ha! I'm sure that went well.
	🥁 ♥ 12:07am coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:02 haha... okay, PJ Harvey might do me in!
	🥁 ♥ 12:07am Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:06 He asked her about Humble Pie.
	♥ 12:08am Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @12:07 I think I remember hearing this story. I haven't seen him in years, but it sounds like classic Tom.
	♥ 12:09am tom tom the pipers son: saw patti smith at ethical society in the early oughts... very charismatic
	♥ 12:10am Mike Lupica: After playing the Snatch 45 a few weeks ago (and mentioning on-mic that I'd never heard their other records), I did some spelunking on an old hard drive and discovered that I had MP3s of their album from 1983. Let's hear it for disorganized digital media collections!
	♥ 12:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Shopping for Clothes" by "Snatch" i'm intrigued, reminded alittle of james chance an lydia lunch
	♥ 12:15am tom tom the pipers son: was going to say looked like scott walker on cover
	♥ 12:16am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:14 Totally. Same era. Patti Palladin and Judy Nylon. CBGB druggy music.
	♥ 12:17am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:15 This remains the only Catherine Wheel record I know/own. I think they have other stuff that's more popular?
	♥ 12:17am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:17 They also cover Husker Du and Mission of Burma on this EP... so that's a thing, I guess.
	♥ 12:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:17 remember the name, but don't know about their other stuff
	12:20am Erik/VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:57 I went straight to info first via wiki -novice move, but obviously helpful to Locate oneself in the universe. Ha. Thanks for the intro! A bit to explore. Arb got me to revisit an old forgotten fave = Honey Bane singles!
	♥ 12:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Nantan" by "Rail Band" bewitching...esp that stringed instrument
	🥁 ♥ 12:27am coelacanth∅: for a long time i only knew snatch from a Brian Eno bootleg
	🥁 ♥ 12:27am Wendy del Formaggio: Hangers-on, Mike.
	🥁 ♥ 12:27am coelacanth∅: (hangers on)
	🥁 ♥ 12:28am coelacanth∅: ...(or, what Wendy said)
	🥁 ♥ 12:29am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:28 Jinx! You owe me a Coke. haha.
	🥁 ♥ 12:29am Ike: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:17 The Catherine Wheel's first full album, Ferment, from '92, was one of my shoegaze faves at the time. I don't think it's aged all that well, though, not like Curve, Lush, or Slowdive.
	🥁 ♥ 12:30am coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:29 if i ever find that captain kangaroo lunchbox i'll throw a can of coke in there before mailing it.
	🥁 ♥ 12:30am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:30 Haha! it's a deal.
	🥁 ♥ 12:31am Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, this girl's gotta get ready for bed. Thanks for the tunes, Mike! G'night, everybunny!
	🥁 ♥ 12:31am coelacanth∅: i Loved the radio thriftshop. miss Laura.
	🥁 ♥ 12:31am Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:31 Night Wendy!
	♥ 12:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:30 i think when a coke is owed it has to come in a green bottle...;)
	🥁 ♥ 12:32am coelacanth∅: sweet dreams Wendy
	♥ 12:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:31 g'nite
	12:32am Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Shopping for Clothes" by "Snatch" Always regretted NOT purchasing this snatch Lp! - as a youth (1984?) held it in my sweaty hands at Bleeker Bobs and conflictedly put it back. and then never sawer it again. $10 bucks was a commitment back then. I had only known of their “R.A.F.” song - which is fabulous! I had no idea it had flying lizards connections (among others) for that matter. (Patti P) & awhile later, didn’t even realize Pal Judy (On-U-Sounds) was half the duo. blah yadda blah. 😉
	🥁 ♥ 12:33am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:31 dammit! i had a feeling about that.
	♥ 12:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:33 necessary for the un-jinx
	♥ 12:34am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:33 congrats on no work tonight...btw
	🥁 ♥ 12:38am coelacanth∅: rest in peace, Dennis Thompson.
	♥ 12:39am Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:38 If you've seen the never-properly-released MC5 documentary, he's definitely the heart and soul of the band.
	♥ 12:40am Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik/VT @12:32 Seems like something Superior Viaduct might reissue someday...
	🥁 ♥ 12:41am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:34 Thanks! thinking about cracking open this murphy's stout..."best by" date: june 2021. -not getting any younger.
	♥ 12:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:41 hmm... 2021, have no idea about beer going bad...tempting though...
	🥁 ♥ 12:44am Alex from Media: I might have said this here before but I came around to rap only after I associated it with beat poetry readings.
	♥ 12:44am Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Images of .44 Casings" by "Dalek" Major touchstone record for me right here. The sound of many Sunday nights at Brownies circa 1998.
	♥ 12:44am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:44 Nice! You should do a deep dive with Dalek, Alex. Greatness awaits!
	🥁 ♥ 12:45am coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:39 i guess i should see that. not surprised you say that though. it's so often true the drummer doesn't broadly get due credit -even with a high energy band where it should be obvious.
	♥ 12:45am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:43 TRY. IT.
	🥁 ♥ 12:46am Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:41 Murphys is not strong enough to age well.
	♥ 12:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:45 coel is the one with the beer i'm beerless...
	🥁 ♥ 12:48am coelacanth∅: yum yum yum, it's FINE! ...i did have it refrigerated the entire time maybe that helped.
	12:48am Erik/VT: Anybody know anything about group; Moon Wiring Club 👈 ‘Striped Paint For The Last Post’ (album?). “Black Stage Mysteries” (song).
	♥ 12:49am Mike Lupica: Tonight's show brought to you in part by: untappd.com...
	🥁 ♥ 12:49am coelacanth∅: maybe slightly flat. but tastes good.
	♥ 12:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:48 slantje! or however it goes
	🥁 ♥ 12:51am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Trouser Minnow" by "Rapeman" 🤘🤘🤘
	♥ 12:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:51 agree...
	12:52am Erik/VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:40 ¿ I guy can dream …?💭 - re SNATCH; encouraging - considering the legacy & connections, it’s hard to believe it hasn’t been given the royal reissue treatment.
	♥ 12:54am tom tom the pipers son: thanks mike, it's been fun...
	🥁 ♥ 12:54am Alex from Media: There's a segue for ya.
	🥁 ♥ 12:54am Alex from Media: Thanks Mike!
	🥁 ♥ 12:55am Yvang: Three not FCC friendly tributes tonight!
	🥁 ♥ 12:57am coelacanth∅: Thank you ronald reagan for steering us off the healing road and directly over the cliff
	🥁 ♥ 12:58am Yvang: I was over only from our privileged pov
	🥁 ♥ 12:59am coelacanth∅: to say Steve Albini was an extraordinary human being seems entirely inadequate. rest in peace, dear sir.
	🥁 ♥ 12:59am Yvang: Thanks Mike! RIP Steve Albini.
	🥁 ♥ 1:00am coelacanth∅: Thanks Mike!
	♥ 1:03am Mike Lupica: Peas out, y'all. Thanks for hangin' out tonight.

At various points during tonight's show, we'll pour some out for Gary Floyd (the Dicks), Steve Albini (Big Black, Shellac), and Dennis Thompson (The MC5). No "career retrospective" shenanigans, but if the music those bands made meant something to you, tonight's program is the place to toast lives well-lived.

Listener comments!
	♥ 11:51am DJ Peter: This is my favorite gif yet... until next week when you'll have my new favorite!
	♥ 8:24pm Mike Lupica: ↳ DJ Peter @11:51 Thanks Peter. In the Starlite Lounge, service is job #1!
	♥ 10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: hello mike, and listeners
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Mike. Hello Hotwires. Glad to be here tonight.
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm Yvang: Hi Mike and Pole Dancers!
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm Alex from Media: Hi Mike, hotwire crew!
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Yvang: Hi DJ Peter, Tom Tom, Wendy, Alex!
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @10:03 Hey Yvang!
	♥ 10:03pm Mike Lupica: Stand by. Tech problems.
	♥ 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @8:24 yes, i am digging gif too...is it from ed wood? possibly "jailbait"?
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm Alex from Media: Hi i DJ Peter, Tom, Wendy, Yvang!
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:04 Alex!
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: It's the roofing nails. They really tie the drink together.
	♥ 10:05pm tom tom the pipers son: hello yvang and alex...
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Alex from Media: I suppose it appropriate to toast them with roofing nails.
	♥ 10:06pm WR: I'm intrigued
	10:07pm zmmz: hello mike. YAY!
	♥ 10:08pm Mike Lupica: Howdy all! Tech issues seem to be worked out. LET'S DO THIS!
	10:09pm zmmz: wendy!? r u co-pilot tonight shw?
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ zmmz @10:09 Hey zmmz: No, Mike needs no co-pilot. I'm just a civilian tonight. A regular attendee, just like the rest o' youse.
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Yvang: ↳ zmmz @10:09 She's a VIP listener!
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @10:10 Aww, thanks, Yvang. <3
	♥ 10:11pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 LOL "Civilian DJ"!
	♥ 10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: hey mike... gif from ed wood?
	♥ 10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:12 I'm actually not sure!
	♥ 10:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:12 director not burton movie
	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:11 I'm wearing my listener hat, as well as my "Ambassador from Mondays on Give the Drummer Radio" hat. We Monday people love you Saturday folks! I can confidently issue this decree.
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Mike and hot, wired people
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm coelacanth∅: (...Welcome back!)
	♥ 10:18pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:17 Evenin' coelacanth∅ and all other Saturday Night FMU Pitcrew members. Is it obvious that I pounded an espresso 30 minutes ago?
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:13 I'd say the scenery seems too sophisticated and simple at the same time and the quality of the photography, the lighting etc. I don't think Ed Wood could afford so much excellence.
	♥ 10:19pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:18 Maybe my new strategy will be "door prize for whomever can positively ID the playlist gif" each week.
	♥ 10:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:18 had similar thoughts about the "protagonists"... the lighting looks pretty simple, just two lights from what i can figure and the set...no budget...so not sure..
	🥁 ♥ 10:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Kerosene" by "Big Black" Oh yay! When Rich played this last night, I was outside on the Bellows Falls Yacht Club's back deck and I missed it.
	♥ 10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:22 but right, lighting is kind of "artistic"
	🥁 ♥ 10:24pm coelacanth∅: i don't know but i want that car.
	🥁 ♥ 10:25pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:23 What a great track!
	♥ 10:26pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:25 I am presently in the process of removing the back wall of the Starlite Lounge with speaker volume.
	🥁 ♥ 10:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:26 Yeah, I'm rattling the windows in here for the same reason. And the fillings in my teeth.
	🥁 ♥ 10:27pm coelacanth∅: i never heard of shellac until last night. never heard of big black until ~15 years ago. (i knew Steve Albini only as an engineer/ producer)
	♥ 10:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:27 Better late than never, coelacanth∅!
	🥁 ♥ 10:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:27 Yeah, Shellac is new to me, too.
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm egal: butthole surfers live were scary.
	🥁 ♥ 10:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: "Sweaty-palmed record boys." Yup. That's a type.
	♥ 10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike, feel same way about albini
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm Yvang: "The End of Radio" is a scary title ...for radio DJs!
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Moonstruck" by "Sheer Mag" The expression on the faces of every single member of this band tells a story, and I wanna know what it is!
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm Alex from Media: What the Albini obits revealed to me was his enviable engineering philosophy. To basically listen to what the band wanted to sound like instead of creating "product".
	♥ 10:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:40 For real. I love his whole philosophy of wanting to be paid as though he were a plumber.
	♥ 10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:36 I'll address it later on, but his public reconciliation for awful things he said as a young man was 100% more sincere than any dipshit celebrity's apology tour for doing a racism on Twitter, or whatever.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 As a Gen-Xer, I'm going to publicly declare that many of us -- myself included -- said and believed some pretty ridiculous shit when we were younger, for which we had to unlearn and make amends for later in life. It seems a rite of passage. My own work in this department certainly continues.
	♥ 10:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Black Ice" by "RockATeens" Not for nothin', but this song boats one of the best, most meaningful utterances of the work FUCKIN of all time.
	♥ 10:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:46 Aye. Well put, Wendy.
	♥ 10:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 u huh, not familiar with this or really with his output just had an intuitive take on him that i was put off by... a sort of reactionary thread to him
	🥁 ♥ 10:48pm coelacanth∅: gotta go. i won't know if i'm working tonight 'till i get there. hopefully not, and i'll see y'all in a bit. Thanks Mike
	♥ 10:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:48 se ya coelacanthe
	♥ 10:49pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:48 HOT TAKE INCOMING: Steve Albini... The Grateful Dead ... Golf... all worthwhile things that are ruined by their most devoted fans.
	♥ 10:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:49 haha..!
	🥁 ♥ 10:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:49 OMG, I've been thinking about this a lot lately as I begin listening again to The Grateful Dead. And Frank Zappa. And The Allman Brothers. I needed a long hiatus because their superfans are so fucking annoying, it made me run in the other direction for about three decades.
	🥁 ♥ 10:51pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:49 True dat.
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:51 Can anything uncool music like being used in an ad or movie? Can Kate Bush get some love on this?
	🥁 ♥ 10:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:53 I'm not sure I understand the question.
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:55 Placing sacred music from one generation in a movie or ad for a new generation thus creating a furor and "rediscovery" among teeny boppers.
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Natural Successor" by "Pictish Trail" I'm thoroughly digging this.
	♥ 10:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:57 For whatever it's worth, the Kate Bush example is interesting for me because I was never really into her music but my wife was a mega fan. When the Stranger Things Bump happened, my daughter and I all became big fans for a dumb reason but we ultimately didn't care.
	♥ 10:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:59 Love me some fuzzed-out bass!
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:57 I still don't understand what you are asking. Is it okay to place "sacred music" in a new movie or ad that gets younger people excited about this music? Well, yes, of course it's okay. Why wouldn't it be?
	♥ 11:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:00 well i think he's just asking if it dilutes the music imho
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Hot, Hard, and Ready" by "Smokey" I feel like I should be wearing more leather than my Birkenstock house shoes (haha!) to even be allowed to listen to this song. Which is to say, I love it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:03 Thanks Tom. Thats what I was getting at. I'm not being as clear as my adult beverage.
	♥ 11:08pm tom tom the pipers son: @ wendy: winged wheel image is how i picture folks in vermont
	🥁 ♥ 11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:03 The concept of "dilution" confuses and concerns me. Who are the gatekeepers of any particular type of music, and why should they exist? Do we really believe that the value of a particular long-ago song or artist declines because today's teenagers like it? Who are we to decide who gets to enjoy what? I dunno. These are all big questions, and like the Jew I am, I'll just answer a question with more questions. (I'm also trying to get some work done, so maybe I don't even wanna discuss it right now.)
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:08 There is variety here. Just like anywhere else.
	♥ 11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:10 i don't really have an opinion about it, just translating, so don't kill the messenger....:) i've only been to vermont once so don't have much to go on... it just spoke vermont to me
	🥁 ♥ 11:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:10 Not gonna push it. Just a thought that didn't come across clearly and got worse as it went.
	🥁 ♥ 11:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:15 Who's killing anyone? My opinion was solicited. I responded. I disagreed.
	♥ 11:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:16 i wasn't expressing an opinion to be disagreed with
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:17 I'm going back to work now. I'd like to finish these meeting minutes before I go to sleep tonight.
	🥁 ♥ 11:19pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:17 That was for me. I'm okay with being disagreed with. Sorry if I upset you Wendy.
	🥁 ♥ 11:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:19 I'm not upset. Just saddened by what I perceived as the premise.
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: Very nice eulogy, Mike. Gary Floyd was far ahead of his time.
	♥ 11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike: seems to have lost some volume on this one for some reason
	♥ 11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: there thx
	♥ 11:24pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:23 Yep, my bad. Sorry!
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm Ike: Meow.
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm Yvang: By the way I just found the animated gif's source: it's in fact a commercial for Lincoln MotorCo design.annstreetstudio.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ike @11:26 Hey Ike!
	♥ 11:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:24 djing like love means never having to say your sorry
	♥ 11:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:26 amazing, what detective work....!
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:27 My computer crashed once and firefox twice during my research
	🥁 ♥ 11:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: Haha! I had a feeling you were gonna play this when you were telling the story, Mike! I played it on my show on Monday and was delighted for the same reason: we can play this on internet radio! And it deserves to be heard!
	♥ 11:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @11:28 But you did the work, Yvang!
	♥ 11:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:28 that's dedication, didn't know where to search for it
	🥁 ♥ 11:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night at the Bookstore" by "Dicks" TELL YOUR WIFE!!!
	🥁 ♥ 11:32pm coelacanth∅: i'm back. where's the booze?
	🥁 ♥ 11:32pm Yvang: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:32 At the bookstore!
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @11:32 Hahaha, I was going to say that!
	♥ 11:33pm tom tom the pipers son: this song reminds me of being cruised by a young library worker, i was surprised, uneasy and flattered. he must have been into bears
	🥁 ♥ 11:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Yvang @11:32 hahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 11:37pm coelacanth∅: ...i have 2 book stores within 1 minute's walk. hmm, now which one has better booze... (booze worth breaking in for)
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:37 Well. Gary Floyd would probably recommend breaking into the one with the glory holes.
	🥁 ♥ 11:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:40 Ah. "Glory Hole Books" it is then. Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 11:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:42 I'll bring the quarters!
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm coelacanth∅: that fish just needed some vita-meata-vegamin.
	♥ 11:46pm tom tom the pipers son: www.artsy.net...
	🥁 ♥ 11:47pm Yvang: Ah Ah! Great fish story!
	🥁 ♥ 11:48pm Yvang: Edit: great fish AND Chicken story!
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: I stood next to Mike Watt at Maxwell's and I was too shy to talk to him. It's one of my few regrets in life. I have a big crush on Watt and I wanted to kiss him!
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm coelacanth∅: sorry about your chicken Mike.
	♥ 11:53pm tom tom the pipers son: stood next to adam sandler at a traffic light in l.a. kind of chickened out, kind of had nothing to say except that i thought he was great in punch drunk love
	🥁 ♥ 11:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Transcendental Blues" by "Steve Earle" I hope everyone has seen Steve Earle's great role in the show "Treme." The dude can act, too!
	♥ 11:53pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:50 Thank coelacanth∅. She lived a good life!
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Humanity" by "Lava Larue" Low tones really coming across on this.
	♥ 11:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:55 Like, in a general way or a "bad audio" way?
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:56 in a good way. clear and boosted
	11:57pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Humanity" by "Lava Larue" I’m a stone cold junkie for a shuffle shamble rhythm! & a British isles accent. Yes 👏
	♥ 11:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:56 Ahh, good. Lava Larue is awesome. Check all of their stuff on Bandcamp, it's the best music to remind you of a rainy night in London.
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm coelacanth∅: i wonder if there's someone famous that i'd be scared to talk to. i wouldn't recognise most people, even my "heroes". but i've managed to get a hug from both sleater-kinney guitarists, and Katell Kaineg; an extended, warm handshake from Thomas Mapfumo...went to a diner with hüsker dü, ...had a very friendly conversation with Natalie Merchant but i had no idea it was her until after she'd left
	♥ 12:02am Mike Lupica: I clam up something fierce around famous people. I once rode an elevator with Joe Strummer and immediately transformed into the King of the Weenies. I've also insulted Fab Five Freddie (by accident) and once hid from PJ Harvey when I had the opportunity to meet her (because I knew if I did, I would commit some kind of public stupidity which I'd think about for the rest of my life.)
	🥁 ♥ 12:05am Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:02 Like when Tom Scharpling met Patty Smith in an elevator.
	♥ 12:06am Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @12:05 Ha! I'm sure that went well.
	🥁 ♥ 12:07am coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:02 haha... okay, PJ Harvey might do me in!
	🥁 ♥ 12:07am Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:06 He asked her about Humble Pie.
	♥ 12:08am Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @12:07 I think I remember hearing this story. I haven't seen him in years, but it sounds like classic Tom.
	♥ 12:09am tom tom the pipers son: saw patti smith at ethical society in the early oughts... very charismatic
	♥ 12:10am Mike Lupica: After playing the Snatch 45 a few weeks ago (and mentioning on-mic that I'd never heard their other records), I did some spelunking on an old hard drive and discovered that I had MP3s of their album from 1983. Let's hear it for disorganized digital media collections!
	♥ 12:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Shopping for Clothes" by "Snatch" i'm intrigued, reminded alittle of james chance an lydia lunch
	♥ 12:15am tom tom the pipers son: was going to say looked like scott walker on cover
	♥ 12:16am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:14 Totally. Same era. Patti Palladin and Judy Nylon. CBGB druggy music.
	♥ 12:17am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:15 This remains the only Catherine Wheel record I know/own. I think they have other stuff that's more popular?
	♥ 12:17am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:17 They also cover Husker Du and Mission of Burma on this EP... so that's a thing, I guess.
	♥ 12:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:17 remember the name, but don't know about their other stuff
	12:20am Erik/VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:57 I went straight to info first via wiki -novice move, but obviously helpful to Locate oneself in the universe. Ha. Thanks for the intro! A bit to explore. Arb got me to revisit an old forgotten fave = Honey Bane singles!
	♥ 12:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Nantan" by "Rail Band" bewitching...esp that stringed instrument
	🥁 ♥ 12:27am coelacanth∅: for a long time i only knew snatch from a Brian Eno bootleg
	🥁 ♥ 12:27am Wendy del Formaggio: Hangers-on, Mike.
	🥁 ♥ 12:27am coelacanth∅: (hangers on)
	🥁 ♥ 12:28am coelacanth∅: ...(or, what Wendy said)
	🥁 ♥ 12:29am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:28 Jinx! You owe me a Coke. haha.
	🥁 ♥ 12:29am Ike: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:17 The Catherine Wheel's first full album, Ferment, from '92, was one of my shoegaze faves at the time. I don't think it's aged all that well, though, not like Curve, Lush, or Slowdive.
	🥁 ♥ 12:30am coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:29 if i ever find that captain kangaroo lunchbox i'll throw a can of coke in there before mailing it.
	🥁 ♥ 12:30am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:30 Haha! it's a deal.
	🥁 ♥ 12:31am Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, this girl's gotta get ready for bed. Thanks for the tunes, Mike! G'night, everybunny!
	🥁 ♥ 12:31am coelacanth∅: i Loved the radio thriftshop. miss Laura.

	♥ 12:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:31 g'nite
	12:32am Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Shopping for Clothes" by "Snatch" Always regretted NOT purchasing this snatch Lp! - as a youth (1984?) held it in my sweaty hands at Bleeker Bobs and conflictedly put it back. and then never sawer it again. $10 bucks was a commitment back then. I had only known of their “R.A.F.” song - which is fabulous! I had no idea it had flying lizards connections (among others) for that matter. (Patti P) & awhile later, didn’t even realize Pal Judy (On-U-Sounds) was half the duo. blah yadda blah. 😉
	🥁 ♥ 12:33am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:31 dammit! i had a feeling about that.
	♥ 12:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:33 necessary for the un-jinx
	♥ 12:34am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:33 congrats on no work tonight...btw
	🥁 ♥ 12:38am coelacanth∅: rest in peace, Dennis Thompson.
	♥ 12:39am Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:38 If you've seen the never-properly-released MC5 documentary, he's definitely the heart and soul of the band.
	♥ 12:40am Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik/VT @12:32 Seems like something Superior Viaduct might reissue someday...
	🥁 ♥ 12:41am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:34 Thanks! thinking about cracking open this murphy's stout..."best by" date: june 2021. -not getting any younger.
	♥ 12:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:41 hmm... 2021, have no idea about beer going bad...tempting though...
	🥁 ♥ 12:44am Alex from Media: I might have said this here before but I came around to rap only after I associated it with beat poetry readings.
	♥ 12:44am Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Images of .44 Casings" by "Dalek" Major touchstone record for me right here. The sound of many Sunday nights at Brownies circa 1998.
	♥ 12:44am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:44 Nice! You should do a deep dive with Dalek, Alex. Greatness awaits!
	🥁 ♥ 12:45am coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:39 i guess i should see that. not surprised you say that though. it's so often true the drummer doesn't broadly get due credit -even with a high energy band where it should be obvious.
	♥ 12:45am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:43 TRY. IT.
	🥁 ♥ 12:46am Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:41 Murphys is not strong enough to age well.

	♥ 12:49am Mike Lupica: Tonight's show brought to you in part by: untappd.com...
	🥁 ♥ 12:49am coelacanth∅: maybe slightly flat. but tastes good.
	♥ 12:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:48 slantje! or however it goes
	🥁 ♥ 12:51am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Trouser Minnow" by "Rapeman" 🤘🤘🤘
	♥ 12:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:51 agree...
	12:52am Erik/VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:40 ¿ I guy can dream …?💭 - re SNATCH; encouraging - considering the legacy & connections, it’s hard to believe it hasn’t been given the royal reissue treatment.
