	11:29am drr: ↳ clarke @11:24 You missed a good one. Our original guitarist, the federal prosecutor, has temporarily rejoined the band and it's really fun. He's like a Jekyll/Hyde stage presence.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ drr @11:29 i remember him!
	11:30am mike east: @johnk77- I am, and busy as heck. That’s great to hear. Stay awesome, man.

	11:34am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ rich the greeb @11:32 It's billed as a conversation, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't bust out the guitar and play a song or two.
	11:34am evancuts: One of my best friends lives in Madrid. I'll reach out to him now. Patti and Mia were just there. I'll text you. Missed you on Wednesday btw...sounds like you had a good excuse though.
	11:34am drr: ↳ clarke @11:25 My pop said he quit wearing bow ties after somebody called him Les Nessman. Frankly I don't see the problem. Now if they call you Herb Tarleck...
	11:36am clarke: ↳ drr @11:34 your pop didn't wear leisure suits, tho
	11:36am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Paint The Town" by "Greg Townson" SOOOOOO good!!
	11:36am Greg from ZONE 5: Michael Shelley! Fancy meeting you here.
	11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:34 "Your pop wore leisure suits" was the "Your mother wears army boots" of the 1970s.
	11:37am Michael Shelley: AN EVENING WITH NICK LOWE www.universe.com...
	11:37am Mike East: ↳ johnk77 @11:34 Of course! I spoke to him last week...he's working for Yamaha now.

	11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:36 Mawning, suh!~
	11:37am rich the greeb: I can’t find where to buy b tickets for Nick Lowe? Classic
	11:37am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:36 Gregger!!
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:37 howdy theyah!
	11:38am rich the greeb: Apparently that was a evening in 2011 @michael
	11:38am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Paint The Town" by "Greg Townson" Baby. Same line up as last GT record?
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Paint The Town" by "Greg Townson" This is sweet
	11:39am Cheryl The Nerd: @Michael: Idk how long the kid is going to be in Madrid, but b vocal is doing something there July 5: www.bvocal.org...
	11:39am rich the greeb: This reminds me of when I saw Nick’s signed poster in the bathroom at the Housing Works bookshop and I was like wtf, why you hiding a genius?
	11:39am Bill C: Hello Michael, I collect vintage hifi and playing your show simultaneously thru 5 systems and a bunch of speakers like an old music shop. Your show sounds so good!
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Greg delivering as always
	11:40am Michael Shelley: x.com...
	11:40am drr: ↳ clarke @11:36 Nope, he made no sartorial choices that would raise an eyebrow, really no choices at all. I guess he passed down that tradition.
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ Bill C @11:39 Wish I could hear that!
	11:40am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ rich the greeb @11:39 There's a poster of Glen Campbell in one of the WFMU bathrooms. Maybe genius loves company.
	11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: For the record, very, very few people will be changing their votes based on that debate.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ drr @11:40 also congrats on Nat'l Championship!
	11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bill C @11:39 That sounds like fun!
	11:41am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:41 ..is this an election year?
	11:42am johnk77: ↳ Mike East @11:37 he was in nyc recently and is considering perhaps moving back here do you think he could get any piano tuner gigs from boulevard/carroll if he did? don't tell management about this yet
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:41 Yes, yes it is, which is why I won't be free for much of October and November. But I will be going to Memphis for my birthday in November!
	11:44am Michael Shelley: NICK TIX: www.universe.com...
	11:44am clarke: that esplains it
	11:44am Scott in Denver: ↳ clarke @11:41 Gavin is my dreamboat.
	11:44am rich the greeb: @Cheryl that makes me feel a lot better actually 😊 Possum and Badger in the pisser
	11:44am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:37 Jack Attack!
	11:44am rich the greeb: Basher *
	11:45am rich the greeb: @michael thanks
	11:45am Mike East: ↳ johnk77 @11:42 Tough to say....he rubbed some crucial people the wrong way. I'm sure I could throw him some tunings here and there....we don't have an in house guy anymore so its all freelance. Full time gig doubtful, though, unless he really sweet talks the boss.
	11:45am prof.fuzz: clarkEEEEE! cheryl! sweeeeeetwater rep!
	11:46am clarke: yee haw!
	11:47am clarke: somebody pour some water over Squints.
	11:48am Daybreak!: ↳ Song: "Anybody But Me" by "Brenda Lee" There's a reason all the musicians have been singing about being 17 or about 17 yr olds in general! I've been teaching juniors in high school for 21 years. While they can be massively obnoxious, many of them have been working on whatever skill they have since they were 3-5 years old, so they can shock you with how wildly talented they are.
	11:48am johnk77: ↳ Mike East @11:45 thank u so much! george rubs a lot of people the wrong way;>
	11:49am Hoboken Jack: Emily Hubley did animation for the documentary and will also be at the Q&A.
	11:50am Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:45 Hey Prof!
	11:51am Mr. Jones: Still just a buck though if there is no record or cover.
	11:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Recommend stopping at Torico on your way home—JC ice cream institution.
	11:52am Prof Fuzz's Sweetwater Rep: ha ha ha mr. jones.
	11:53am drr: Discogs will fool you sometimes when you see a hard-to-find record you've been wanting for under ten bucks, but then it says Sleeve: NO SLEEVE.
	11:53am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "The Man From O.R.G.A.N." by "Dick Hyman" What was Dick Hyman’s name before he changed it?
	11:53am prof.fuzz: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:50 howdy jack!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mike East @11:45 Hullo Mike East !
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:53 Richard Liquor
	11:55am paul: What was the name of the Jerry Reed song?
	11:56am Mr. Jones: ↳ Listener Baby @11:53 Ramon Ramone
	11:56am Cooh John: Saw J.D., Robert, and Alison 2 weeks ago. Best show of the year. There, I said.
	11:57am drr: ↳ Listener Baby @11:53 Albert Einstein.
	11:58am ?: ↳ Cooh John @11:56 I saw them last year. Excellent
	11:58am onthetrain: @greg from zone 4 I miss Torico and their tamarind ice cream.
	11:58am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Getaway" by "JD McPherson" fuzz is a powerful drug
	11:58am Prof Fuzz's Sweetwater Rep: the FuZZ pedal????
	11:58am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:51 But he's got to get to the screening!! Maybe Applegate Farm after the movie?
	11:59am P-90: “It’s the CANDY ROCK GENERATION, kids!”
	11:59am Hoboken Jack: ↳ onthetrain @11:58 No ice cream on the train 😉
	11:59am Hughie Considine: He has a fuzzbox and he's never gonna stop using it.
	12:00pm clarke: these guys have some tempo issues.
	12:00pm luka: am i having a stroke
	12:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Girl Watcher" by "Candy Rock Generation, The" Am I having A stroke?
	12:00pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:00 It's called syncopation, clarke.
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:00 I thought the drugs were starting to kick in
	12:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Girl Watcher" by "Candy Rock Generation, The" I think I need this album.
	12:00pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @11:53 Hyman Lipschitz.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:00 They were too busy watchin' to keep proper time.
	12:01pm drr: That "Mm mm!" was good.
	12:01pm luka: ladies and gentlemen, The Shoogs
	12:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:58 Also legendary!
	12:01pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:00 Their pitch is also interesting.
	12:01pm clarke: drummer compromised.
	12:02pm Listener Baby: ↳ egould @12:00 Exactly
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Count The Days" by "Swamp Dogg with Jenny Lewis" Nice arrangement
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: Jenny Lewis is a nice person
	12:04pm clarke: this great - sadly, i walked out of a (packed) jenny lewis show. seemed like she wants to be a modern pop star?
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: Dug that Stax documentary!
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:04 she used to have a killer band!
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:05 I met her when they recorded with the Mogis Brothers here in Lincoln, before they moved the studio to Omaha.
	12:05pm Daybreak!: ↳ Cooh John @11:56 What made that show so damn good? Was it the tightness of the playing? Was it the entertaining movements of the bands? Was it audience interaction? Something else?
	12:06pm Joey!: Peter Frampton does a great version of it too, on his "Where i Should Be" lp.
	12:06pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: We're at work listening, Michael, the while pharmacy team is on the team!
	12:06pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: *whole
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:05 yeah, opened for Rilo Kiley, long ago, she is quite nice. can't say much for her new moves, tho.
	12:09pm ScottinDenver: I learned a ton from the Stax doc. I knew nothing about Isaac Hayes.
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Round And Round (alt mix)" by "David Bowie" Can't really go wrong with covering Chuck Berry
	12:09pm Einstraus in Vancouver BC: The new Swamp Dogg song was great! Thanks Michael
	12:09pm Daybreak!: ↳ clarke @12:04 That desire seems understandable. It seems like she has been operating on that same level of popularity for a while. She can pack a medium to large-ish space, but consider Laura Cantrell as an example. She has been playing for decades, but she still needs support when a crisis hits. If you want some security, you gotta swing for the fences.
	12:10pm Don Gorden: Does anyone know of a song called, Like the Wind or Blind The Wind, circa 1984??
	12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:07 I haven't heard her recent stuff.
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:09 fact!
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Daybreak! @12:09 there were plenty of people there, eating it up. the guys i was with all looked at each other, nodded and walked out.
	12:11pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Round And Round (alt mix)" by "David Bowie" I think Bowie was a serious lover of all music and enjoyed playing it all.
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think Musicians simply generally orbit around their influences. Sometimes further sometimes nearer. Just with Boowie being an Identity Artist - you expect something else. Or maybe to be more coy about who he ...reconfigures...
	12:12pm PaulRobeson1924: Mr.Ken
	12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I'll Return To You" by "Valiants, The" Good lord, this is awesome.
	12:14pm clarke: yes, indeed!
	12:15pm bobob plasticland drumr: There was a band in the Early 1980s in Milwaukee named The Valiants
	12:16pm oxnard: swingin' and swayin'
	12:16pm Daybreak!: ↳ clarke @12:10 Fair enough! Individual tastes are the decider.
	12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...course Boowie doing 'Round & Round' - one thinks of the Stones' version as probly the implied antecedent.
	12:17pm Matt in Nebraska: When I was a kid, we had a polydactyl cat named "Thumbs".
	12:17pm McGroovey: The song was left off Ziggy Stardust, replaced by the late addition of ‘Starman’. Interestingly, Round And Round was an early contender for the album title. ‘Round And Round’ would have been the perfect kind of number that Ziggy would have done on stage. I think probably what happened… is that it was a jam. We jammed ‘Round And Round’ for old times’ sake in the studio and the enthusiasm of the jam probably waned after we heard the track a few times and we replaced it with a thing called ‘Starman’… I don’t think it’s any great loss really. I think, I certainly haven’t destroyed any of those tracks. I’ve kept them all. I think that maybe that we could put them out as a budget album or something at a later date, the stuff that never really got used. David Bowie, February 1972 WMC-FM, Memphis www.bowiebible.com...
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Daybreak! @12:16 about five songs in, we all looked at each other. no words said.
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ McGroovey @12:17 Interesting. Ziggy Stardust being somewhat on the template Vince Taylor - a sort of Rawkabilly dood who was notably flipped out & into UFOs & who knows what...
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:19 template *of
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Stop Half Loving These Women" by "Jimmy Lewis" I don't think I've ever heard "uptight" used in quite that manner before.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:17 that's exactly my point about recording covers - just write something that's almost as good!
	12:24pm Mailman Tom: ↳ Song: "Coomyah" by "Desmond Dekker" I have 3 compact disc recordings of Desmond Dekker. His music never gets old.
	12:24pm Hoboken Jack: I'm guilty of 3/4 loving a woman.
	12:25pm clarke: you're gonna get the Jazz Police on ya.
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:22 McCartney replacing 'Long Tall Sally' with 'I'm Down' ferinstance... I've never seriously approached Songwriting myself - but how else would you start really... Dylan put modern Civil Rights & then Beat Poetry to Traditional Musics...
	12:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:25 the jazz police only get involved if you love a women 5/4
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:25 certainly, do ANY cover, live, that you want - the cover may help you get to that new place.
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:26 unless there is a waltz warrant
	12:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:26 i'm printing this comment out and keeping it in my guitar case, just in case
	12:28pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	12:28pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ clarke @12:25 I miss that guy
	12:30pm egould: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Got A Little Problem" by "Jerry Aliso... Just can’t hide that Texas accent.
	12:30pm Prof Fuzz's Sweetwater Rep: speaking of guitar cases.....

	11:29am drr: ↳ clarke @11:24 You missed a good one. Our original guitarist, the federal prosecutor, has temporarily rejoined the band and it's really fun. He's like a Jekyll/Hyde stage presence.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ drr @11:29 i remember him!
	11:30am mike east: @johnk77- I am, and busy as heck. That’s great to hear. Stay awesome, man.

	11:34am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ rich the greeb @11:32 It's billed as a conversation, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't bust out the guitar and play a song or two.
	11:34am evancuts: One of my best friends lives in Madrid. I'll reach out to him now. Patti and Mia were just there. I'll text you. Missed you on Wednesday btw...sounds like you had a good excuse though.
	11:34am drr: ↳ clarke @11:25 My pop said he quit wearing bow ties after somebody called him Les Nessman. Frankly I don't see the problem. Now if they call you Herb Tarleck...
	11:36am clarke: ↳ drr @11:34 your pop didn't wear leisure suits, tho
	11:36am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Paint The Town" by "Greg Townson" SOOOOOO good!!
	11:36am Greg from ZONE 5: Michael Shelley! Fancy meeting you here.
	11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:34 "Your pop wore leisure suits" was the "Your mother wears army boots" of the 1970s.
	11:37am Michael Shelley: AN EVENING WITH NICK LOWE www.universe.com...
	11:37am Mike East: ↳ johnk77 @11:34 Of course! I spoke to him last week...he's working for Yamaha now.

	11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:36 Mawning, suh!~
	11:37am rich the greeb: I can’t find where to buy b tickets for Nick Lowe? Classic
	11:37am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:36 Gregger!!
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:37 howdy theyah!
	11:38am rich the greeb: Apparently that was a evening in 2011 @michael
	11:38am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Paint The Town" by "Greg Townson" Baby. Same line up as last GT record?
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Paint The Town" by "Greg Townson" This is sweet
	11:39am Cheryl The Nerd: @Michael: Idk how long the kid is going to be in Madrid, but b vocal is doing something there July 5: www.bvocal.org...
	11:39am rich the greeb: This reminds me of when I saw Nick’s signed poster in the bathroom at the Housing Works bookshop and I was like wtf, why you hiding a genius?
	11:39am Bill C: Hello Michael, I collect vintage hifi and playing your show simultaneously thru 5 systems and a bunch of speakers like an old music shop. Your show sounds so good!
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Greg delivering as always
	11:40am Michael Shelley: x.com...
	11:40am drr: ↳ clarke @11:36 Nope, he made no sartorial choices that would raise an eyebrow, really no choices at all. I guess he passed down that tradition.
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ Bill C @11:39 Wish I could hear that!
	11:40am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ rich the greeb @11:39 There's a poster of Glen Campbell in one of the WFMU bathrooms. Maybe genius loves company.
	11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: For the record, very, very few people will be changing their votes based on that debate.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ drr @11:40 also congrats on Nat'l Championship!
	11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bill C @11:39 That sounds like fun!
	11:41am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:41 ..is this an election year?
	11:42am johnk77: ↳ Mike East @11:37 he was in nyc recently and is considering perhaps moving back here do you think he could get any piano tuner gigs from boulevard/carroll if he did? don't tell management about this yet
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:41 Yes, yes it is, which is why I won't be free for much of October and November. But I will be going to Memphis for my birthday in November!
	11:44am Michael Shelley: NICK TIX: www.universe.com...
	11:44am clarke: that esplains it

	11:44am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:37 Jack Attack!
	11:44am rich the greeb: Basher *
	11:45am rich the greeb: @michael thanks
	11:45am Mike East: ↳ johnk77 @11:42 Tough to say....he rubbed some crucial people the wrong way. I'm sure I could throw him some tunings here and there....we don't have an in house guy anymore so its all freelance. Full time gig doubtful, though, unless he really sweet talks the boss.
	11:45am prof.fuzz: clarkEEEEE! cheryl! sweeeeeetwater rep!
	11:46am clarke: yee haw!
	11:47am clarke: somebody pour some water over Squints.
	11:48am Daybreak!: ↳ Song: "Anybody But Me" by "Brenda Lee" There's a reason all the musicians have been singing about being 17 or about 17 yr olds in general! I've been teaching juniors in high school for 21 years. While they can be massively obnoxious, many of them have been working on whatever skill they have since they were 3-5 years old, so they can shock you with how wildly talented they are.
	11:48am johnk77: ↳ Mike East @11:45 thank u so much! george rubs a lot of people the wrong way;>
	11:49am Hoboken Jack: Emily Hubley did animation for the documentary and will also be at the Q&A.
	11:50am Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:45 Hey Prof!
	11:51am Mr. Jones: Still just a buck though if there is no record or cover.
	11:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Recommend stopping at Torico on your way home—JC ice cream institution.
	11:52am Prof Fuzz's Sweetwater Rep: ha ha ha mr. jones.
	11:53am drr: Discogs will fool you sometimes when you see a hard-to-find record you've been wanting for under ten bucks, but then it says Sleeve: NO SLEEVE.
	11:53am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "The Man From O.R.G.A.N." by "Dick Hyman" What was Dick Hyman’s name before he changed it?
	11:53am prof.fuzz: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:50 howdy jack!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mike East @11:45 Hullo Mike East !
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:53 Richard Liquor
	11:55am paul: What was the name of the Jerry Reed song?
	11:56am Mr. Jones: ↳ Listener Baby @11:53 Ramon Ramone
	11:56am Cooh John: Saw J.D., Robert, and Alison 2 weeks ago. Best show of the year. There, I said.
	11:57am drr: ↳ Listener Baby @11:53 Albert Einstein.
	11:58am ?: ↳ Cooh John @11:56 I saw them last year. Excellent
	11:58am onthetrain: @greg from zone 4 I miss Torico and their tamarind ice cream.
	11:58am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Getaway" by "JD McPherson" fuzz is a powerful drug
	11:58am Prof Fuzz's Sweetwater Rep: the FuZZ pedal????
	11:58am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:51 But he's got to get to the screening!! Maybe Applegate Farm after the movie?
	11:59am P-90: “It’s the CANDY ROCK GENERATION, kids!”
	11:59am Hoboken Jack: ↳ onthetrain @11:58 No ice cream on the train 😉
	11:59am Hughie Considine: He has a fuzzbox and he's never gonna stop using it.
	12:00pm clarke: these guys have some tempo issues.
	12:00pm luka: am i having a stroke
	12:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Girl Watcher" by "Candy Rock Generation, The" Am I having A stroke?
	12:00pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:00 It's called syncopation, clarke.
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:00 I thought the drugs were starting to kick in
	12:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Girl Watcher" by "Candy Rock Generation, The" I think I need this album.
	12:00pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @11:53 Hyman Lipschitz.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:00 They were too busy watchin' to keep proper time.
	12:01pm drr: That "Mm mm!" was good.
	12:01pm luka: ladies and gentlemen, The Shoogs
	12:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:58 Also legendary!
	12:01pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:00 Their pitch is also interesting.
	12:01pm clarke: drummer compromised.
	12:02pm Listener Baby: ↳ egould @12:00 Exactly
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Count The Days" by "Swamp Dogg with Jenny Lewis" Nice arrangement
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: Jenny Lewis is a nice person
	12:04pm clarke: this great - sadly, i walked out of a (packed) jenny lewis show. seemed like she wants to be a modern pop star?
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: Dug that Stax documentary!
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:04 she used to have a killer band!
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:05 I met her when they recorded with the Mogis Brothers here in Lincoln, before they moved the studio to Omaha.
	12:05pm Daybreak!: ↳ Cooh John @11:56 What made that show so damn good? Was it the tightness of the playing? Was it the entertaining movements of the bands? Was it audience interaction? Something else?
	12:06pm Joey!: Peter Frampton does a great version of it too, on his "Where i Should Be" lp.
	12:06pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: We're at work listening, Michael, the while pharmacy team is on the team!
	12:06pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: *whole
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:05 yeah, opened for Rilo Kiley, long ago, she is quite nice. can't say much for her new moves, tho.
	12:09pm ScottinDenver: I learned a ton from the Stax doc. I knew nothing about Isaac Hayes.
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Round And Round (alt mix)" by "David Bowie" Can't really go wrong with covering Chuck Berry
	12:09pm Einstraus in Vancouver BC: The new Swamp Dogg song was great! Thanks Michael
	12:09pm Daybreak!: ↳ clarke @12:04 That desire seems understandable. It seems like she has been operating on that same level of popularity for a while. She can pack a medium to large-ish space, but consider Laura Cantrell as an example. She has been playing for decades, but she still needs support when a crisis hits. If you want some security, you gotta swing for the fences.
	12:10pm Don Gorden: Does anyone know of a song called, Like the Wind or Blind The Wind, circa 1984??
	12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:07 I haven't heard her recent stuff.
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:09 fact!
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Daybreak! @12:09 there were plenty of people there, eating it up. the guys i was with all looked at each other, nodded and walked out.
	12:11pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Round And Round (alt mix)" by "David Bowie" I think Bowie was a serious lover of all music and enjoyed playing it all.
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think Musicians simply generally orbit around their influences. Sometimes further sometimes nearer. Just with Boowie being an Identity Artist - you expect something else. Or maybe to be more coy about who he ...reconfigures...
	12:12pm PaulRobeson1924: Mr.Ken
	12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I'll Return To You" by "Valiants, The" Good lord, this is awesome.
	12:14pm clarke: yes, indeed!
	12:15pm bobob plasticland drumr: There was a band in the Early 1980s in Milwaukee named The Valiants
	12:16pm oxnard: swingin' and swayin'
	12:16pm Daybreak!: ↳ clarke @12:10 Fair enough! Individual tastes are the decider.
	12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...course Boowie doing 'Round & Round' - one thinks of the Stones' version as probly the implied antecedent.
	12:17pm Matt in Nebraska: When I was a kid, we had a polydactyl cat named "Thumbs".
	12:17pm McGroovey: The song was left off Ziggy Stardust, replaced by the late addition of ‘Starman’. Interestingly, Round And Round was an early contender for the album title. ‘Round And Round’ would have been the perfect kind of number that Ziggy would have done on stage. I think probably what happened… is that it was a jam. We jammed ‘Round And Round’ for old times’ sake in the studio and the enthusiasm of the jam probably waned after we heard the track a few times and we replaced it with a thing called ‘Starman’… I don’t think it’s any great loss really. I think, I certainly haven’t destroyed any of those tracks. I’ve kept them all. I think that maybe that we could put them out as a budget album or something at a later date, the stuff that never really got used. David Bowie, February 1972 WMC-FM, Memphis www.bowiebible.com...
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Daybreak! @12:16 about five songs in, we all looked at each other. no words said.
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ McGroovey @12:17 Interesting. Ziggy Stardust being somewhat on the template Vince Taylor - a sort of Rawkabilly dood who was notably flipped out & into UFOs & who knows what...
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:19 template *of
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Stop Half Loving These Women" by "Jimmy Lewis" I don't think I've ever heard "uptight" used in quite that manner before.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:17 that's exactly my point about recording covers - just write something that's almost as good!
	12:24pm Mailman Tom: ↳ Song: "Coomyah" by "Desmond Dekker" I have 3 compact disc recordings of Desmond Dekker. His music never gets old.
	12:24pm Hoboken Jack: I'm guilty of 3/4 loving a woman.
	12:25pm clarke: you're gonna get the Jazz Police on ya.
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:22 McCartney replacing 'Long Tall Sally' with 'I'm Down' ferinstance... I've never seriously approached Songwriting myself - but how else would you start really... Dylan put modern Civil Rights & then Beat Poetry to Traditional Musics...
	12:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:25 the jazz police only get involved if you love a women 5/4
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:25 certainly, do ANY cover, live, that you want - the cover may help you get to that new place.
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:26 unless there is a waltz warrant
	12:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:26 i'm printing this comment out and keeping it in my guitar case, just in case
	12:28pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	12:28pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ clarke @12:25 I miss that guy
	12:30pm egould: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Got A Little Problem" by "Jerry Aliso... Just can’t hide that Texas accent.
	12:30pm Prof Fuzz's Sweetwater Rep: speaking of guitar cases.....
	12:31pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:19 What
	12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: You know, I've never actually thought of writing a song as "writing something almost as good." And that is actually kind of a revelation.
	12:31pm Daybreak!: ↳ Song: "Big Love" by "Camera Obscura" Did anybody catch the Camera Obscura show recently? I only found out about it the day before it happened and I couldn't go. If I'd had more notice I would've definitely been there?
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:31 you're never going to write Be My Baby!!
	12:32pm clarke: but, you can aspire to!
	12:32pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:31 Sadly, no.
	12:32pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:32 Yes.
	12:32pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hmm
	12:32pm clarke: yes!
	12:32pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:31 Roy Wood has written it a few times.
	12:33pm Ciggy: I'm ready fir a tussle: Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents Five inches long I'm out on the street again And I'm leaping along I'm dressed right for a beach fight But I just can't explain Why that uncertain feeling is still Here in my brain
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even Brian Wilson wanted to write 'Be My Baby'.
	12:34pm Hoboken Jack: Loving today's ice cream subtext
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:32 get a hold of yourself now, baby.
	12:34pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ clarke @12:34 Leave Baby out of this
	12:35pm clarke: let Baby squeak fer himself.
	12:35pm Steve Del Sol: That's the way it was, Mike!
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Good Humor was my fave as a kid. If I had a choice today, I'd go Mr. Softee every time.
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the Good Humour Man, he sees everything like this...
	12:36pm ?: yup, good humor only from the truck, toasted almond!!
	12:36pm Erik: I do hope Jonathan Richman's Ice Cream man will follw.
	12:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: Wait a second. I think I am having a bit of an epiphany. Hmm... Thanks WFMU and @clarke
	12:36pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Good Humour Man" by "Clifford Curry" British pressing, Michael?
	12:37pm Hughie Considine: Chocolate Fudge Cake!
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:36 we're the good humor men!

	12:37pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:37 it's the bad humors that will do you in. just ask the ancient greeks.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:36 here's more: listen to van morrison's version of Baby Blue - he could have just made that into a completely new tune, had he thought about it!
	12:39pm ?: so good!!
