	👻 3:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hey TOPT, Joe, McGroove, all! Welcome to the unofficial start of Saturday late afternoon!
	3:26pm Victrola Tom: Ok, what’d I miss?
	3:26pm Joe B: ↳ Song: "Get Out" by "Dirty Fences" LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
	👻 3:27pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Victrola Tom @3:26 Todd convinced the vast North American listening audience that aliens had landed in Grovers Mill, NJ.
	3:29pm Rev ComX: ↳ Woo @3:19 I remember the band was having some money issues and they asked my friend, who was on the guest list, if we'd drive a couple members back to the hotel, and we took Rat and Roman. Rat was in a good mood and very cool to chat with, but Roman was a little upset and complaining that "the effin' manager had no effin' money and he couldn't get no effin' smokes"...I was just a high school kid and it was all very cool
	3:33pm Woo: ↳ Rev ComX @3:29 Perfect!
	3:35pm Victrola Tom: @Hoboken Jack!! That’s what we all love about Todd, he’s a true American original!
	3:35pm medson: Hola TOPT and all
	3:35pm estebangrande: yea!
	3:35pm Chili MacPagoda: Saturday chores & TOPT, a classic pairing like peanut butter and bananas. Looking forward to hearing from Rat Scabies while mopping my kitchen.
	3:36pm Rev ComX: ↳ Woo @3:33 What made it better was that it was also the night I smoked my first joint
	3:36pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "Neat Neat Neat" by "The Damned" Always loved this single....still stands the test of time! Cheers
	3:37pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Greetings, Todd and all youse. Stirring up a batch of guac and listening to the hits.
	3:37pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Neat Neat Neat" by "The Damned" I will never tire of this tune...and it's amazing opening...summer of '77 memories indeed!!! I have the blue vinyl version of this fave LP...and it gets pride of place in my "front room"....
	👻 3:38pm Bruce S.: yes the Damned Records really have Stood the Test of Time
	3:38pm bee: We are excited to to see the Damned at a small venue here in Norwalk ct on Thursday !
	3:42pm listener 126464: Commence to stomping!
	👻 3:42pm Frank In Queens: Yeah baby!
	👻 3:44pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good afternoon, Todd and Everyone. Dinner is prepped, and it is Martini time. R
	3:45pm Sufferwords: best show ever- Whiskey a go go- Damned last night of Machine Gun tour- 2 sets... set 2 Rat on bass for Anarchy UK? bedlam- violent Hollywood bedlam at its black beauties and gin best
	3:46pm Guy in Solihull UK: Heard all of these Damned classics a lot of times, but it's still something special to hear them back to back on a radio station as great as WFMU. Looking forward to the Ratty interview now!
	3:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wait ... what's that phone number?
	3:48pm Andres: In Toronto on Monday!
	3:49pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Smash It Up" by "The Damned" The drumming was definitely integral to this great tune as well. Compared to so many other bands of that first wave punk era The Damned generally had more dynamics/melodic complexity...to my young ears at least...and they were fun!!!
	3:50pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "Alone Again Or" by "The Damned" Hoping you would play this Todd....a different side of the Damned IMHO. Very neat.
	3:51pm Cooh John: UFO covered this as well. I always thought it stuck out on the album.
	3:53pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Grimly Fiendish" by "The Damned" A most wicked use of harpsichord.
	3:55pm Steve Harsh: Rat is the Keith Moon of punk, meant as the highest possible compliment. Utterly unique and unmatchable
	3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Grimly Fiendish" by "The Damned" Topic came up earlier of something being like TheWho for the vocal harmonies rather than gittarz as such...
	3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Feel The Pain" by "The Damned" & here's the Alice influence. All wonderful...
	3:58pm Chili MacPagoda: Thee Damned would’ve made a killah cover of Boris Thee Spider(or maybe they did, dunno).
	4:00pm glamrock90: Fantastic Saturday as usual ! Thank you, Todd
	4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In fact - I think Entwhistle's 'Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde' is like a template for a lot of TheDamned ...also worth remembering his ProtoGothness & black humor was part of what TheEarlyWho were as well as Townshend's concepts...
	4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Entwistle ...'whistle' has no 'H' - & Town's End does...
	4:04pm P-90: “Mr. Scabies”
	4:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Todd-O-Phonic Todd Interview: Rat Scabies" Love his voice.
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Get a Punk Name ...stay on the Dole.
	4:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Alone Again Or" by "The Damned" Funny, isn't it?
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:09 Not everybody was into remembering (ArthurLee &) Love quite yet when they did this...
	4:13pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:11 Actually, my comment was about your comment. I had started to say something about that track, and someone came to the back door.... That's what's funny.
	4:17pm Mr C: Big fan of Jake Riviera...old days.
	4:18pm Deano de los Muertos: Oh, Rat Scabies! I heard all The Damned in the car and thought “fuck, who died”
	4:19pm Fredericks: ↳ Mr C @4:17 Wasn't he the guy that kicked Mick Jones out of The Clash?
	4:23pm Mr C: ↳ Fredericks @4:19 I don't think so. I knew him from Elvis and Nick Lowe. He was a Stiff Records guy.
	4:23pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Sick Of Being Sick" by "The Damned" at one point there were horrible wooden catholic school auditorium chairs in the front of CB's ????
	4:25pm Mr C: ↳ Fredericks @4:19 Wan't Bernard Rhodes the Clash manager?
	4:26pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ morphe' @4:23 There were small tables and chairs. It was awkward. They actually had waitresses early on!
	4:26pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Mr C @4:25 Correct!
	4:31pm Rev ComX: Strawberries tour when I saw them
	👻 4:31pm Bruce S.: lets give commercialism one proper go at least
	4:32pm tadpoles: I'm old enough to remember "Phantasmagoria" being a Curved Air album title. It's neat as well in a different way.
	4:33pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: www.officialdamned.com... Damned tour dates!
	4:34pm Van Winkle ;-): Oddly enough... Phantasmagoria was the name of the Montreal record store where I purchased my Damned album in the summer of 1977...
	👻 4:43pm Will thee SG OCNY: Good afternoon Todd-o-Phonic Todd and all!!!
	4:43pm pp: Mr Scabies is very sensible 💯
	👻 4:46pm Bruce S.: Todd,You've done it again, another Triumph,great Interview, Thanks
	👻 4:46pm Frank In Queens: Great interview Todd
	4:46pm listener 126464: Great, interesting interview, Todd and Rat.
	4:46pm medson: Fab interview. Thanks Todd.
	4:47pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Rat Scabies = urbane, professional, rock legend. Nice interview!
	4:47pm pgalub: Nice interview, Todd. Cheers.
	4:47pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Glad you kids enjoyed our conversation!
	4:50pm Chili MacPagoda: What’s not to love?? Rat Scabies sounds like a great human being and a fab storyteller as well. I loved that interview!
	4:52pm Steve Harsh: You are a great interviewer and Rat is a great subject
	4:53pm Chili MacPagoda: Getting tix for their SF show now…
	4:53pm Fredericks: ↳ Mr C @4:25 You are correct. Sorry, Jake.
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Srsly FMU Interviews ...TopT Interviews - by themselves are a Thing.
	4:57pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Chili MacPagoda @4:53 Wise move... especially as the openers for their west coast shows are the equally stellar SFO late 70s punk band The Avengers. I couldn't dream up a better bill.
	👻 4:59pm TonyR: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:53 Still kicking myself for not grabbing the ToPT interviews marathon premium. In related news, my 03/2024 swag arrived this week, and there's something soft and squishy inside the envelope. Hope it's packing material!!
	5:02pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "Talent Is An Asset" by "Sparks" Genius! Thanks for the great interview Todd. FMU at it's finest!
	5:04pm Guy in Solihull UK: Great interview thanks. Going to check out The Sinclairs next up!
	5:04pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ tadpoles @5:02 You're welcome!
	👻 5:05pm Bruce S.: 2024? is this new Cale? It's Excellent
	5:05pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "Talent Is An Asset" by "Sparks" The moment I realized who/what this song was about (and it took a few listenings) was the moment I realized that Sparks was brilliant.
	5:08pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Shark-Shark" by "John Cale" I like the "murky" production...
	5:10pm Cheek !: What a 9th & 10th from the Giants !
	👻 5:11pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Saturday Morning" by "Eels" Young Deanna at Tunes and I are big Eels fans. And for those who haven't heard, the Jon Bon Jovi service area is once again OPEN!!!
	👻 5:11pm Bruce S.: I think TOPT and Mad Dog Chritopher Rousso are Both SF Giants Fans
	5:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @5:11 Trivia Time: When eels played at Maxwell's it was on a Saturday night and there were two shows that night. Who headlined the other show?
	5:14pm Mr C: i believe it's the first album. with Jack Nitzche and Crazy Horse. Jack was co-producer.
	5:19pm HyperDose: Magical stuff, T man
	5:21pm medson: ↳ Song: "Golden Brown" by "Shannon & The Clams" Such a sad and wonderful album.
	👻 5:21pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:13 Whew that's tough! I will guess .. the Electric Six!
	5:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @5:21 Good guess based on how many times they played there. But it was Queens Of The Stoneage.
	👻 5:23pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:23 Quite a Saturday night!!
	5:25pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @5:23 That's how we rolled in those days.
	5:26pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Return Of The Grievous Angel" by "The Raveonettes" Love this sound!
	5:26pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Return Of The Grievous Angel" by "The Raveonettes" I listened to this earlier this week..."everyone" is leaning country these days...
	5:28pm Fredericks: ↳ Hoboken Jack @5:23 Agreed, Jackson. Such a great collection of recent music during the last set plus.
	5:29pm bobobobob: more echo than the J&M. chain
	5:29pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:26 I think it's partially because we're all adults with adult concerns. Country is nothing if not music for adults.
	👻 5:33pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Fredericks @5:28 How's your holiday weekend shaping up, good sir?
	5:34pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:29 The early/mid 80s was also a really interesting period when many of the "young bucks" splintered off from their punk origins and moved in that direction...
	5:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:34 Cowpunk!
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NateK just played 'Amanda Ruth' by Rank&File ? I'm all like ...damn but that's a good track. & kinda realizing ...a lotta what I love about say SonVolt ...it's very NeilYoung really. I mean - probly always knew that - but sometimes things come up front of the brain more...
	👻 5:38pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Ice Grass Underpass" by "Nap Eyes" Was recently wondering what happened to these guys. Glad they're back!
	5:38pm money&pain: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:34 Right - Elvis Costello, X...
	5:39pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:34 I agree! It was a fecund period in music - not everyone was post punk dark wave whatever. I just checked: I'm eleven days older than Rat Scabies - sixty eight going on eighteen. Oh my aching back!
	5:39pm money&pain: Pre Cow Punk, Alternative Country, etc. by a decade
	5:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...given the extent to which Punk owed a debt to Rawkabilly - Kuntry wasn't too very far ? Roots Musics...
	5:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Still I'm Sad" by "The Yardbirds" I have this 45!
	👻 5:41pm Bruce S.: Psychobilly was also a great post punk genre, Rockabilly Lives!
	5:41pm DonJuanTijuana: One of my fave Yardbird tunes
	5:42pm Van Winkle ;-): The Bodeans, The Long Ryders, Rank & File, Lonesome Strangers, Rosie Flores, Jason & The Scorchers etc...not to mention the emerging local Austin scene were definitely a major part of my early musical diet...
	5:42pm money&pain: Didn't they do a much faster version?
	5:42pm traven: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:39 Have a piece of pie. You'll feel better.
	5:42pm dale: hey now. signed in to clicky this yardbirds. beat myself to the punch in the past.
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Still I'm Sad" by "The Yardbirds" Among the most Advanced in 1966 ...but ! ...it's still 1965.
	👻 5:42pm Bruce S.: Gee this is an excellent set Todd
	5:43pm chresti: ↳ dale @5:42 hey me too!
	5:43pm dale: ....and mentioned orville peck on medson's show. TOPT has all i need right here.
	5:43pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ traven @5:42 Today I bought the first apricots of the season - to make a pie, thank you very much!
	5:44pm DonJuanTijuana: ❤️🔥🤘
	5:44pm dale: ↳ chresti @5:43 good taste doesn't change.
	5:44pm morphe': Thanks TopT and Rat and all !!!!
	5:47pm morphe': ps ... Liked the reality of Rat that he chose Rat Scabies as a name as was derigueur to pick a Punk Name, but also wanted to protect his Dole money under his real name...
	5:47pm Mr C: Big thanks Todd for the Interview and the music! Sanson Street! Philadelphia
	5:48pm money&pain: Love the Beachwood Sparks!
	5:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ money&pain @5:48 Beachwood Sparks! Last time I saw them, they were playing in the middle of Sunset Blvd. It might have been in a different century.
	5:49pm Cheek !: Damn Regency Ballroom is a brutal venue !
	5:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Mr C @5:47 Also home to Oscar's Tavern!
	5:50pm Saltonstall: Mr C? Is Todd channeling Fonzie?
	5:51pm Mr C: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:49 These guys are the greatest! Thanks Todd
	👻 5:52pm Bruce S.: That was a Fast Three Hours, Thanks Todd, You Really Came Through Today SINcerly
	5:52pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Song: "It's Such A Shame" by "Thee Sinseers" I love any group that has the East LA soul sound down perfectly.
	5:53pm Mr C: ????
	5:53pm money&pain: East LA soul sound? Tell me more.
	5:54pm morphe': ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:49 And Sherman Bros Shoes for Men .. where I have not bought but love the look...
	5:54pm Mr C: The music of my youth in Philly
	5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Todd and Mr. Rat!
	5:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gaylord Fields @5:52 Mushy 70's soul makes me think of art class in the eleventh grade. KGFJ Was ALWAYS on!
	👻 5:54pm Bruce S.: is that like Thee Midnighters?
	5:55pm money&pain: Thanks, Todd. Awesome shw.
	👻 5:55pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you so much, Todd -- LOVED the interview and the overall show has been terrific. Happy rest of the weekend, all!
	5:55pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ money&pain @5:53 Look up LA DJs Dick "Huggy Boy" Hugg and Art Laboe, and you will be satisfied.
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "It's Such A Shame" by "Thee Sinseers" Makes me think of Band of Bees' 'I Love You' ...don't tell me how long ago that was...
	5:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Gaylord Fields @5:52 Have you seen the cover?
	👻 5:58pm Bruce S.: I'm Crying Todd, this set is awesome
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Cry To Me" by "The Rolling Stones" Have we fans of PrettyThings doing this uptempo ?
	5:58pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:54 You were THERE, man!
	5:58pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gaylord Fields @5:55 I use to watch Huggy Boy in the afternoon. Lots of East L.A. Vatos sending out dedications to their carnales in el campo (teenager jail)
	5:58pm Andres: Excellent selection of hurting tunes to close out. Great show! Thanks, Todd!
	5:58pm Van Winkle ;-): Thanks TOPT for another fine, fine, fine chat & chew Saturday afternoon.
	5:59pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:58 Yeah, it does look vaguely familiar haha!
	👻 5:59pm TonyR: Stones at the Meadowlands Thursday was a modern small miracle. Check it out on YouTube, or show 2 this Sunday!
	5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:58 That's some real right there.
	6:00pm Franco Twinkie: You're killing me, Todd!
	6:01pm money&pain: Saw them at Jazz Fest. Mick singing Time is on my Side with Irma Thomas!

	👻 3:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hey TOPT, Joe, McGroove, all! Welcome to the unofficial start of Saturday late afternoon!
	3:26pm Victrola Tom: Ok, what’d I miss?
	3:26pm Joe B: ↳ Song: "Get Out" by "Dirty Fences" LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
	👻 3:27pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Victrola Tom @3:26 Todd convinced the vast North American listening audience that aliens had landed in Grovers Mill, NJ.
	3:29pm Rev ComX: ↳ Woo @3:19 I remember the band was having some money issues and they asked my friend, who was on the guest list, if we'd drive a couple members back to the hotel, and we took Rat and Roman. Rat was in a good mood and very cool to chat with, but Roman was a little upset and complaining that "the effin' manager had no effin' money and he couldn't get no effin' smokes"...I was just a high school kid and it was all very cool
	3:33pm Woo: ↳ Rev ComX @3:29 Perfect!
	3:35pm Victrola Tom: @Hoboken Jack!! That’s what we all love about Todd, he’s a true American original!
	3:35pm medson: Hola TOPT and all
	3:35pm estebangrande: yea!
	3:35pm Chili MacPagoda: Saturday chores & TOPT, a classic pairing like peanut butter and bananas. Looking forward to hearing from Rat Scabies while mopping my kitchen.
	3:36pm Rev ComX: ↳ Woo @3:33 What made it better was that it was also the night I smoked my first joint
	3:36pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "Neat Neat Neat" by "The Damned" Always loved this single....still stands the test of time! Cheers
	3:37pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Greetings, Todd and all youse. Stirring up a batch of guac and listening to the hits.
	3:37pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Neat Neat Neat" by "The Damned" I will never tire of this tune...and it's amazing opening...summer of '77 memories indeed!!! I have the blue vinyl version of this fave LP...and it gets pride of place in my "front room"....
	👻 3:38pm Bruce S.: yes the Damned Records really have Stood the Test of Time
	3:38pm bee: We are excited to to see the Damned at a small venue here in Norwalk ct on Thursday !
	3:42pm listener 126464: Commence to stomping!
	👻 3:42pm Frank In Queens: Yeah baby!
	👻 3:44pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good afternoon, Todd and Everyone. Dinner is prepped, and it is Martini time. R
	3:45pm Sufferwords: best show ever- Whiskey a go go- Damned last night of Machine Gun tour- 2 sets... set 2 Rat on bass for Anarchy UK? bedlam- violent Hollywood bedlam at its black beauties and gin best
	3:46pm Guy in Solihull UK: Heard all of these Damned classics a lot of times, but it's still something special to hear them back to back on a radio station as great as WFMU. Looking forward to the Ratty interview now!
	3:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wait ... what's that phone number?
	3:48pm Andres: In Toronto on Monday!
	3:49pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Smash It Up" by "The Damned" The drumming was definitely integral to this great tune as well. Compared to so many other bands of that first wave punk era The Damned generally had more dynamics/melodic complexity...to my young ears at least...and they were fun!!!
	3:50pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "Alone Again Or" by "The Damned" Hoping you would play this Todd....a different side of the Damned IMHO. Very neat.
	3:51pm Cooh John: UFO covered this as well. I always thought it stuck out on the album.
	3:53pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Grimly Fiendish" by "The Damned" A most wicked use of harpsichord.
	3:55pm Steve Harsh: Rat is the Keith Moon of punk, meant as the highest possible compliment. Utterly unique and unmatchable
	3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Grimly Fiendish" by "The Damned" Topic came up earlier of something being like TheWho for the vocal harmonies rather than gittarz as such...
	3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Feel The Pain" by "The Damned" & here's the Alice influence. All wonderful...
	3:58pm Chili MacPagoda: Thee Damned would’ve made a killah cover of Boris Thee Spider(or maybe they did, dunno).
	4:00pm glamrock90: Fantastic Saturday as usual ! Thank you, Todd
	4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In fact - I think Entwhistle's 'Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde' is like a template for a lot of TheDamned ...also worth remembering his ProtoGothness & black humor was part of what TheEarlyWho were as well as Townshend's concepts...
	4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Entwistle ...'whistle' has no 'H' - & Town's End does...
	4:04pm P-90: “Mr. Scabies”
	4:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Todd-O-Phonic Todd Interview: Rat Scabies" Love his voice.
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Get a Punk Name ...stay on the Dole.
	4:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Alone Again Or" by "The Damned" Funny, isn't it?
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:09 Not everybody was into remembering (ArthurLee &) Love quite yet when they did this...
	4:13pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:11 Actually, my comment was about your comment. I had started to say something about that track, and someone came to the back door.... That's what's funny.
	4:17pm Mr C: Big fan of Jake Riviera...old days.
	4:18pm Deano de los Muertos: Oh, Rat Scabies! I heard all The Damned in the car and thought “fuck, who died”
	4:19pm Fredericks: ↳ Mr C @4:17 Wasn't he the guy that kicked Mick Jones out of The Clash?
	4:23pm Mr C: ↳ Fredericks @4:19 I don't think so. I knew him from Elvis and Nick Lowe. He was a Stiff Records guy.
	4:23pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Sick Of Being Sick" by "The Damned" at one point there were horrible wooden catholic school auditorium chairs in the front of CB's ????
	4:25pm Mr C: ↳ Fredericks @4:19 Wan't Bernard Rhodes the Clash manager?
	4:26pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ morphe' @4:23 There were small tables and chairs. It was awkward. They actually had waitresses early on!
	4:26pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Mr C @4:25 Correct!
	4:31pm Rev ComX: Strawberries tour when I saw them
	👻 4:31pm Bruce S.: lets give commercialism one proper go at least
	4:32pm tadpoles: I'm old enough to remember "Phantasmagoria" being a Curved Air album title. It's neat as well in a different way.
	4:33pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: www.officialdamned.com... Damned tour dates!
	4:34pm Van Winkle ;-): Oddly enough... Phantasmagoria was the name of the Montreal record store where I purchased my Damned album in the summer of 1977...
	👻 4:43pm Will thee SG OCNY: Good afternoon Todd-o-Phonic Todd and all!!!
	4:43pm pp: Mr Scabies is very sensible 💯
	👻 4:46pm Bruce S.: Todd,You've done it again, another Triumph,great Interview, Thanks

	4:47pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Rat Scabies = urbane, professional, rock legend. Nice interview!
	4:47pm pgalub: Nice interview, Todd. Cheers.
	4:47pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Glad you kids enjoyed our conversation!
	4:50pm Chili MacPagoda: What’s not to love?? Rat Scabies sounds like a great human being and a fab storyteller as well. I loved that interview!
	4:52pm Steve Harsh: You are a great interviewer and Rat is a great subject
	4:53pm Chili MacPagoda: Getting tix for their SF show now…
	4:53pm Fredericks: ↳ Mr C @4:25 You are correct. Sorry, Jake.
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Srsly FMU Interviews ...TopT Interviews - by themselves are a Thing.
	4:57pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Chili MacPagoda @4:53 Wise move... especially as the openers for their west coast shows are the equally stellar SFO late 70s punk band The Avengers. I couldn't dream up a better bill.
	👻 4:59pm TonyR: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:53 Still kicking myself for not grabbing the ToPT interviews marathon premium. In related news, my 03/2024 swag arrived this week, and there's something soft and squishy inside the envelope. Hope it's packing material!!
	5:02pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "Talent Is An Asset" by "Sparks" Genius! Thanks for the great interview Todd. FMU at it's finest!
	5:04pm Guy in Solihull UK: Great interview thanks. Going to check out The Sinclairs next up!
	5:04pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ tadpoles @5:02 You're welcome!
	👻 5:05pm Bruce S.: 2024? is this new Cale? It's Excellent
	5:05pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "Talent Is An Asset" by "Sparks" The moment I realized who/what this song was about (and it took a few listenings) was the moment I realized that Sparks was brilliant.
	5:08pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Shark-Shark" by "John Cale" I like the "murky" production...
	5:10pm Cheek !: What a 9th & 10th from the Giants !
	👻 5:11pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Saturday Morning" by "Eels" Young Deanna at Tunes and I are big Eels fans. And for those who haven't heard, the Jon Bon Jovi service area is once again OPEN!!!
	👻 5:11pm Bruce S.: I think TOPT and Mad Dog Chritopher Rousso are Both SF Giants Fans
	5:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @5:11 Trivia Time: When eels played at Maxwell's it was on a Saturday night and there were two shows that night. Who headlined the other show?
	5:14pm Mr C: i believe it's the first album. with Jack Nitzche and Crazy Horse. Jack was co-producer.
	5:19pm HyperDose: Magical stuff, T man
	5:21pm medson: ↳ Song: "Golden Brown" by "Shannon & The Clams" Such a sad and wonderful album.
	👻 5:21pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:13 Whew that's tough! I will guess .. the Electric Six!
	5:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @5:21 Good guess based on how many times they played there. But it was Queens Of The Stoneage.
	👻 5:23pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:23 Quite a Saturday night!!
	5:25pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @5:23 That's how we rolled in those days.
	5:26pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Return Of The Grievous Angel" by "The Raveonettes" Love this sound!
	5:26pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Return Of The Grievous Angel" by "The Raveonettes" I listened to this earlier this week..."everyone" is leaning country these days...
	5:28pm Fredericks: ↳ Hoboken Jack @5:23 Agreed, Jackson. Such a great collection of recent music during the last set plus.
	5:29pm bobobobob: more echo than the J&M. chain
	5:29pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:26 I think it's partially because we're all adults with adult concerns. Country is nothing if not music for adults.
	👻 5:33pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Fredericks @5:28 How's your holiday weekend shaping up, good sir?
	5:34pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:29 The early/mid 80s was also a really interesting period when many of the "young bucks" splintered off from their punk origins and moved in that direction...
	5:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:34 Cowpunk!
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NateK just played 'Amanda Ruth' by Rank&File ? I'm all like ...damn but that's a good track. & kinda realizing ...a lotta what I love about say SonVolt ...it's very NeilYoung really. I mean - probly always knew that - but sometimes things come up front of the brain more...
	👻 5:38pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Ice Grass Underpass" by "Nap Eyes" Was recently wondering what happened to these guys. Glad they're back!
	5:38pm money&pain: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:34 Right - Elvis Costello, X...
	5:39pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:34 I agree! It was a fecund period in music - not everyone was post punk dark wave whatever. I just checked: I'm eleven days older than Rat Scabies - sixty eight going on eighteen. Oh my aching back!
	5:39pm money&pain: Pre Cow Punk, Alternative Country, etc. by a decade
	5:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...given the extent to which Punk owed a debt to Rawkabilly - Kuntry wasn't too very far ? Roots Musics...
	5:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Still I'm Sad" by "The Yardbirds" I have this 45!
	👻 5:41pm Bruce S.: Psychobilly was also a great post punk genre, Rockabilly Lives!
	5:41pm DonJuanTijuana: One of my fave Yardbird tunes
	5:42pm Van Winkle ;-): The Bodeans, The Long Ryders, Rank & File, Lonesome Strangers, Rosie Flores, Jason & The Scorchers etc...not to mention the emerging local Austin scene were definitely a major part of my early musical diet...
	5:42pm money&pain: Didn't they do a much faster version?
	5:42pm traven: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:39 Have a piece of pie. You'll feel better.
	5:42pm dale: hey now. signed in to clicky this yardbirds. beat myself to the punch in the past.
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Still I'm Sad" by "The Yardbirds" Among the most Advanced in 1966 ...but ! ...it's still 1965.
	👻 5:42pm Bruce S.: Gee this is an excellent set Todd
	5:43pm chresti: ↳ dale @5:42 hey me too!
	5:43pm dale: ....and mentioned orville peck on medson's show. TOPT has all i need right here.
	5:43pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ traven @5:42 Today I bought the first apricots of the season - to make a pie, thank you very much!
	5:44pm DonJuanTijuana: ❤️🔥🤘
	5:44pm dale: ↳ chresti @5:43 good taste doesn't change.
	5:44pm morphe': Thanks TopT and Rat and all !!!!
	5:47pm morphe': ps ... Liked the reality of Rat that he chose Rat Scabies as a name as was derigueur to pick a Punk Name, but also wanted to protect his Dole money under his real name...
	5:47pm Mr C: Big thanks Todd for the Interview and the music! Sanson Street! Philadelphia
	5:48pm money&pain: Love the Beachwood Sparks!
	5:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ money&pain @5:48 Beachwood Sparks! Last time I saw them, they were playing in the middle of Sunset Blvd. It might have been in a different century.
	5:49pm Cheek !: Damn Regency Ballroom is a brutal venue !
	5:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Mr C @5:47 Also home to Oscar's Tavern!
	5:50pm Saltonstall: Mr C? Is Todd channeling Fonzie?
	5:51pm Mr C: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:49 These guys are the greatest! Thanks Todd
	👻 5:52pm Bruce S.: That was a Fast Three Hours, Thanks Todd, You Really Came Through Today SINcerly
	5:52pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Song: "It's Such A Shame" by "Thee Sinseers" I love any group that has the East LA soul sound down perfectly.
	5:53pm Mr C: ????
	5:53pm money&pain: East LA soul sound? Tell me more.
	5:54pm morphe': ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:49 And Sherman Bros Shoes for Men .. where I have not bought but love the look...
	5:54pm Mr C: The music of my youth in Philly
	5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Todd and Mr. Rat!
	5:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gaylord Fields @5:52 Mushy 70's soul makes me think of art class in the eleventh grade. KGFJ Was ALWAYS on!
	👻 5:54pm Bruce S.: is that like Thee Midnighters?
	5:55pm money&pain: Thanks, Todd. Awesome shw.
	👻 5:55pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you so much, Todd -- LOVED the interview and the overall show has been terrific. Happy rest of the weekend, all!
	5:55pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ money&pain @5:53 Look up LA DJs Dick "Huggy Boy" Hugg and Art Laboe, and you will be satisfied.
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "It's Such A Shame" by "Thee Sinseers" Makes me think of Band of Bees' 'I Love You' ...don't tell me how long ago that was...
	5:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Gaylord Fields @5:52 Have you seen the cover?
	👻 5:58pm Bruce S.: I'm Crying Todd, this set is awesome
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Cry To Me" by "The Rolling Stones" Have we fans of PrettyThings doing this uptempo ?
	5:58pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:54 You were THERE, man!
	5:58pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gaylord Fields @5:55 I use to watch Huggy Boy in the afternoon. Lots of East L.A. Vatos sending out dedications to their carnales in el campo (teenager jail)
	5:58pm Andres: Excellent selection of hurting tunes to close out. Great show! Thanks, Todd!
	5:58pm Van Winkle ;-): Thanks TOPT for another fine, fine, fine chat & chew Saturday afternoon.
	5:59pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:58 Yeah, it does look vaguely familiar haha!
	👻 5:59pm TonyR: Stones at the Meadowlands Thursday was a modern small miracle. Check it out on YouTube, or show 2 this Sunday!
	5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:58 That's some real right there.
