	♥ 4:00pm David in California: Hello, Greg!
	4:02pm spacebrother: ↳ David in California @4:00 Hello there!
	📖 ♥ 4:03pm Sem: Hello, SGB, David in CA. Along for the yuks. Like this one!
	4:04pm spacebrother: ↳ Sem @4:03 Hey! Playing a few from this amazing album.
	📖 ♥ 4:06pm Sem: ↳ spacebrother @4:04 All ears!
	♥ 4:06pm David in California: Hello, Sem.
	📖 ♥ 4:09pm Sem: Chuckles a-plenty. Unhinged arrangements, perfect.
	4:11pm spacebrother: Somewhere I read that this album was recorded with some of the session musicians from Blonde on Blonde.
	4:12pm John R: Good afternoon Space Brother Greg, David in CA, and Sem!
	4:12pm spacebrother: ↳ John R @4:12 Good day, John!
	♥ 4:13pm David in California: ↳ spacebrother @4:11 It might have been here: www.thevinyldistrict.com...
	📖 ♥ 4:13pm Sem: Psst? In search of some real dada, daddy-o? Some musical shit that busts the scale of the absurdist meter? Well have I got the thing for you. Follow me into this dark alley and I’ll show you. It’s a toss-off LP recorded by producer Bob Johnston and some of the crack Nashville sessions musicians (e.g., Kenny Buttrey on drums, Hargus “Pig” Robbins on piano and keyboards, and Henry Strzelecki on bass to name a few) who helped Bob Dylan record Blonde on Blonde, and who inspired by “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” decided to one-up Bobby D by creating an artifact so strange and hilarious I’m positively certain Dada’s creator, Alfred Jarry, would give it three thumbs up. This may well be the oddest LP ever released by a major label, and it’s virtually indescribable. I can only assume that large quantities of alcohol and drugs were consumed. It’s less an album than a beautiful example of self-sabotage, with the band taking popular songs of the day and folding, spindling, and mutilating them. It’s great fun and should definitely be spun at parties that have gone out of control. Bob Dylan, what hath thou wrought?
	♥ 4:13pm David in California: ↳ John R @4:12 Hello, John
	📖 ♥ 4:14pm Sem: ↳ David in California @4:13 That's where I found the above, truncated for space.
	4:16pm John R: I wonder if the Beatles were influenced by “The Colonal” for Sgt Pepper ( in same way)
	4:16pm spacebrother: ↳ David in California @4:13 That's it.
	4:16pm spacebrother: ↳ John R @4:16 Intriguing!
	📖 ♥ 4:22pm Sem: ↳ John R @4:16 Hello, John!
	4:32pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Amici Miei" by "Gene Pitney" It's so weird to me to hear Pitney in Italian, but sort of appropriate too.
	4:32pm John R: ↳ spacebrother @4:32 👍
	♥ 4:34pm David in California: ↳ spacebrother @4:32 Maybe it's because we're used to tenors singing emotional arias in Italian.
	4:35pm spacebrother: ↳ David in California @4:34 Agreed!
	4:35pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Go" by "Units" Total DEVO vibes on this one.
	📖 ♥ 4:37pm Sem: Liking this.
	4:38pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Intervention I" by "Horse Lords" It's a real experience in headphones. Sounds like a hip hearing test.
	4:44pm John R: ↳ Song: "The Humming Song" by "Martin Mull" Sorry to hear about Mr Mull’s passing. Awesome on Fernwood tonight with Fred Willard. I rember seeing one’s his albums in Recoed World in the 1970s titled “ The days of wine and neurosis “. An excellent oil painter as well.
	4:47pm spacebrother: ↳ John R @4:44 Yes, I payed it with his passing in mind. He was masterful on Fernwood. He was on my radar for years, but I only ever had this one album the track I played came from.
	4:52pm John R: ↳ spacebrother @4:47 A nice tribute to him Greg. And he was on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, where played a scoundrel who ends up getting impaled on an aluminum Christmas tree!
	4:55pm spacebrother: ↳ John R @4:52 Maybe that's where SNL got the idea for the Killer Trees sketch!
	♥ 4:57pm David in California: Thanks for a fun hour, Greg!
	📖 ♥ 4:57pm Sem: Been eclectic and good fun. Thanks, Greg! See you and all next time around.
	4:57pm John R: ↳ spacebrother @4:55 😄. Thanks SBG for another great show!
	5:00pm spacebrother: ↳ David in California @4:57 Very welcome!
	5:00pm spacebrother: ↳ Sem @4:57 Thanks Sem! See you soon.
	5:01pm spacebrother: ↳ Sem @4:57 Always try to keep the play list a moving target. Thank you!
