	9:54pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:50 I wrote my name in wet cement exactly once (when I was in 4th grade). The guy laying the cement busted me doing it and straight up threatened to kill me.
	10:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Mike, tom tom, gang!
	10:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:54 are you threatening me?.....;;; )))

	10:02pm Chop Scott: Cheers for The Starlite Lounge!
	10:02pm Yvang: Parish*
	10:02pm Alex from Media: Hey Mike and Loungers! I stand ready to defend Raygun's honor (which means I'm full of beer)!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Mike
	10:04pm Yvang: Tom Tom, Mike, Pauly, Chop Scott, Alex, Coel!
	10:05pm coelacanth∅: Aloha Yvang
	10:05pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Yvang @10:04 Hiya Yvang!
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: i somehow remember that episode of bewitched
	10:06pm Mike Lupica: Every time I think the show's gonna be good it ends up sucking and when I think the show's gonna suck, it ends up being good. So let's try some reverse engineering here in the chat and I now declare that tonight's show is... gonna suck.
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @10:02 naked raygun, the honorable?
	10:06pm tom tom the pipers son: i actually never did that, but reminds me...i once tried stealing a bottle of soda from a beer truck stopped at a light, the person behind truck started honking their horn and driver got out of truck and chased me down the street into back yards. waited for the coast to clear to go back and retrieve my skateboard which i had to ditch jumping fences
	10:06pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 I went on a Paul Lynde YouTube bender this week.
	10:06pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 It IS Paul Lynde!
	10:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:06 so far you're failing at failing; but you didn't hear it from me.
	10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:06 as uncle arthur
	10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: greetings mike ...all...
	10:09pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:06 Ha! reminds me of an escapade where I hit a bus driver with a snowball (okay not a proud moment). He got out and chased me a full block but I got away through the alleys.
	10:10pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:07 SOMEONE GET FABIO ON THE HORN, STAT!
	10:10pm tom tom the pipers son: saw an early tonight show appearance by pj harvey ...had no idea she was a farmgirl ...she talked ablout castrating livestock
	10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:09 very similar experiences and i think healthy for kids
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:06 i always thought those open beverage trucks were just inviting me. i never did try to steal from one, though i always had planned to. -thinking about it now, those drivers probably noticed every young hoodlum in their periphery and from a distance approaching
	10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 That tracks. Taking the fam to see her in Philly next month. Can't wait!
	10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:13 she's back to form...nice
	10:14pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Alex from Media @10:09 HA! I was going to relate a similar story about throwing snowballs at cars! A bunch of us hit a some Mopar car and it stopped in the middle of the road as two guys jumped out and started chasing a bunch of 12 year-olds. Good times!
	10:15pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:12 We didnt play so much as infest our neighborhood.
	10:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:14 I still haven't really checked out her latest record. But this gig is in a seated venue (and we sprang for the fancy box $eat$ so the kiddo would be able to see), so I expect it will be more of a "performance" than a "gig".
	10:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @10:14 Small and fast wins sometimes.
	10:17pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:15 It's the American way.
	10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:13 what was the name of that wim wenders film...the anxiety of the goalie at the penalty kick...remake that with a beer truck driver and a tweener hooodlum
	10:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:16 recent recording is supposed to be really good...heard one track and thought so
	10:19pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Alex from Media @10:16 Amen! Plus knowing the lay of the land was a huge advantage.
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: had the snowball times, and the acorn times. we had tons of acorns. the closest neighbor my own age was steven across the street, the catholic school kid. he put rocks in the snowballs, and threw pebbles sometimes instead of acorns. (not that i'm proud of myself for throwing acorns) we got chased just once.
	10:21pm tom tom the pipers son: this thread brings to mind "skitching"
	10:22pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:21 Ha yes!
	10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Evening of Swing (Has Been Cancelled)" by "Half M... reminding me of robyn hitchcock
	10:24pm Yvang: Not living in a snowy area I rather threw waterbombs at adults.
	10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:24 you play with the cards dealt to you...; )
	10:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ha! all of those...another reeason to be here
	10:29pm Alex from Media: Home cure. A shot of Kirsch. if you can keep it down you're good in a few minutes.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: could i forfeit the 10 pounds lighter for 5 extra years younger and 15 extra bucks?
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: (5 extra bucks. 15 total. thanks.)
	10:32pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" by "Greg... Yup.
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace. i always liked this song. and it always reminds me of Tom Petty.
	10:33pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" by "Greg... There's people out there turning breakups into gold.
	10:33pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike veteran dj move looping intro for bed music then letting it ride
	10:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:32 Shoutout to the era when looking like an insurance salesman didn't get in the way of becoming a rock star.
	10:34pm Roberto: How's everyone's evening (or otherwise) going? I'm just chillin' at home while scrubbing some cat shit off the rug.
	10:35pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:33 Thanks. I can also do this while leaping through a flaming hoop and playing a tiny saxophone.
	10:35pm tom tom the pipers son: just finished dinner...
	10:35pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:34 So say we all!
	10:36pm Roberto: The cat didn't shit on the rug per se. S/he likely dragged a dingleberry across it.
	10:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:35 ha!ha! ....my liege
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:36 Shaming them on the internet is a just and fair punishment.
	10:37pm coelacanth∅: for some reason i read "sousaphone"...then thinking a tiny sousaphone must still be bigger than a regular-sized saxophone
	10:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:36 Speaking of cats... I watched Keanu last night (Key and Peele movie from a few years ago.) Great for late night/inebriated laughs.
	10:38pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:37 <-- On that note, there's a 50% chance it was this guy.
	10:39pm tom tom the pipers son: the poems i have lined up are not all premieres i have to confess...yvang might recognize one
	10:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:38 youtu.be...

	10:42pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Le Saut du Tigre" by "Aquaserge" Breaking em out 🤘🤘🤘🤘
	10:43pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:41 RIP Gena Rowlands.
	10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:42 I will always show up for a good, farty synth sound.
	10:44pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 Yes Drippy Farty.
	10:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:43 yes i bet she would have relished the role of a nazi actress
	10:44pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 "farty synth" This time I was smart enough to not have beer in my mouth.
	10:45pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Roberto @10:34 You too?
	10:46pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:41 trippy how you stitch em together. I recall most of these.

	10:48pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "A Sweet Sickness (Trailer)" by "David F. Friedman" Married for appearance's sakes [sic] The Party Girls!
	10:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:46 there are some headlines that are 'poetry' already so i avoid those or break them up
	10:48pm Roberto: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @10:45 You know it!
	10:49pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:48 I love the yellow press for their alliterative headlines.
	10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Only Conscious Being in the Universe" by "Bar... i like this even though it has a missing persons vibe
	10:50pm Chop Scott: Theres currently a great doc on Criterion about Hershell Gordon Lewis & David Friedman.
	10:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:48 I gape in wide-eyed wonder at what you could do with the headlines from our local rag here in Jersey. (The Trentonian.) Most famous headline was: "HEAD HAD AIDS" (about a dismembered dome discovered on a gold course in the 80s.)
	10:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:50 * golf course
	10:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:49 the yellow pressy thing that's going on with the times now it there coverage of a successful revolution run by students and a nobel peace prize winner installed as new pm. nothing but negative coverage when the real story is the former pm absconded with hundreds of millions of dollars
	10:55pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Disneytime" by "Dandelion Adventure" The bass!
	10:55pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" by "Greg... Hiya👋Kidz. never committed or purchased any Greg Kihn albums (which I now realize was a misstep!). Too snobbily preoccupied with Elvis Costello, Dave Edmunds, Rockpile, Nick Lowe, Tom Petty, Andy Fairweather Low, John Cooper Clarke, Doll by Doll, & that other name game tomfoolery genius Harry Knillssonn, etc etc. (never fellow San Fran Huey Lewis either). Oh well, my loss 🤷
	10:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:50 ha! that's rich, but the job of the poet is already done...not that i'm calling myself a poet
	10:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik/VT @10:55 I never had his records either! But I never disliked any of his hits.
	10:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Disneytime" by "Dandelion Adventure" kick ass
	10:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:55 I think their crowning moment of tastelessness was the headline they ran about a fire in an area mental institution: "ROASTED NUTS". (Shakes head in shame at the species...)
	10:58pm tom tom the pipers son: the low angle in tha graveyard gif is transcendent ...karl freund... frankenstein
	10:59pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:58 tossing the soil in the face of death also important
	10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:57 shakes head....that's so bad ...as i laugh
	11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:59 no they're looking for bodies for the monster or bride of... karl freund is the cinematographer escaped nazis to later work on 'i love lucy'
	11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:59 oh yes i get it now
	11:02pm Mike Lupica: "escaped nazis to later work on 'i love lucy'" --- What a world!
	11:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:02 pretty sure some ground was broken on 'i love lucy' in tv production by freund
	11:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:02 well now that i think of it...not sure he was escaping from nazis...was in hollywood in early 30's... nazis for sure, the reason for not going back to germany
	11:11pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:10 nazis took power in the early 30s could still be true.
	11:13pm Ike: Lucille Ball helped make Star Trek (via Desilu) while Dolly Parton was key in making Buffy (via Sandollar), so we need a crossover where Buffy and Spock beat up Nazi vampires.
	11:13pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Song: "Heartbreak Hotel" by "John Cale" I have never heard this version. WOW. This is SO excellent! Genius!
	11:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @11:13 I support this, Ike!
	11:14pm StringOFperils: <3 Slow Dazzle
	11:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @11:13 Yes! Killer cover!
	11:14pm tom tom the pipers son: freund emigrated in '29...only mention in wiki of nazis is this In 1937, he visited Germany to bring his daughter to the United States, saving her from almost certain death in the concentration camps. His ex-wife, Susette Freund, remained in Germany, where she was murdered at the Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1942.[18]
	11:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Hold Me Up Thank You" by "Khruangbin" saw video of this band and was suprised by how glam their stage act is
	11:17pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:16 I'm just getting into them now, but yeah, would not have expected that kinda presentation!
	11:18pm tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry The Artist Who Tried to Solve The Risks of Experimenting With the Sun Using Hard Data and Ancient Wisdom Is Back With Boats, Cocaine and Bigger Ambitions And Anxious About the Terribly Difficult Subject Behind the Twisted Humanity On Broadway
	11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: roly-poly...!
	11:19pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 Love it!
	11:19pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:14 Nazis took power in 1933. A very dense frightening and informative book is the Rise and Fall of the Thjrd Reich by William Shirer. He was a reporter in Germany through the rise and was given access to the records after the war. If you want to understand the current populism it is essential reading.
	11:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:19 Second only to tardigrades in terms of cute bugs. Well, I guess those little hairy spiders that look like they're smiling are kinda cute, too.
	11:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:19 ...; )
	11:21pm Roberto: I worked for the US Holocaust Memorial Museum for a while last year. Just when you thought you knew everything there was to know about the Holocaust...you don't!
	11:22pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 This artist probably exist somewhere.
	11:23pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Heartbreak Hotel" by "John Cale" Was just chatting with a fellow John Cale enthusiast, yet they had never heard his dark epic beauty that is “Hedda Gabler” 7:53min… ¿Originally from the ‘Animal Justice’ ep circa 1977?
	11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @11:19 i am familiar but only read part of it...but you are correct about populism...overheard conversation..."we'll all have to wear masks soon because of the invasion of non'christians"
	11:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:22 yep
	11:25pm Roberto: If you read up on public sentiment in the U.S. in the years leading up to our involvement in WWII, it becomes apparent just how close things came to going to other way.
	11:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Marabayassa" by "The Rail Band" such a track...
	11:26pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:23 Yes because Christianism is the only germs free religion.
	11:26pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:25 Direct military involvement, I should say.
	11:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:25 Seems like old times...
	11:27pm Erik/VT: ↳ Ike @11:13 👆excellent conceptual work-out 👏👏 😁
	11:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:26 doesn't make any sense on all levels including the migrants are coming from christian america countries
	11:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:25 This record is stellar. What a revelation...
	11:28pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "What Time Is It?" by "Ken Nordine" Ken Nordine! Great stuff! Old word jazz series on the internet archive archive.org...
	11:28pm Roberto: After all that heavy talk about John Lennon's death last week, I'm glad we're keeping things light tonight.
	11:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:28 Hahaha!
	11:29pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:28 Good thing you saw the irony hashtag.
	11:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @11:28 what...i love lucy...?
	11:30pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Alex from Media @11:19 Indeed. Thorough and dense. Like you mentioned, the parallels are concerning.
	11:31pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "What Time Is It?" by "Ken Nordine" This story reminds me of one of my favorite radio stations of my youth: WWVB of Fort Collins, CO. All time, all the time!
	11:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:31 Happy to have picked up this Ken Nordine record recently... I only knew the color jazz record previously.
	11:33pm Erik/VT: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 isn’t that the play “Icarus & his amazingly melted polyester dream coat” ?!
	11:34pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Roberto @11:25 Lindbergh was a major booster of "America First". There were many German "bunds" across the eastern and Midwestern US that favored neutrality in the 40s. They hated Roosevelt for arming the UK through lend lease.
	11:34pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike ...you're playing some great 'dance-to' tracks tonight
	11:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik/VT @11:33 hmmm...yes!
	11:36pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:34 Right on, glad it's appreciated. Can't smash your head against the punk rock all the time, after all. The next song on deck is an ass-shaker, for sure.
	11:37pm Roberto: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @11:34 Lindy's legacy is a tad tainted, to say the least.
	11:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:36 And with more farty synth, for the people in the back!
	11:39pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:38 Still awake! Just checkin' my eyelids for holes.
	11:41pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:38 I don't need to synth my fartiness!
	11:42pm Yvang: ↳ Roberto @11:41 Let's sync our fartiness.
	11:43pm Yvang: ↳ Yvang @11:42 How I tried poetry
	11:44pm tom tom the pipers son: think the synth bass fartiness has to do with freeing one's ass and mind following
	11:44pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Bad Brain" by "Ramones" one two three four!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
	11:45pm tom tom the pipers son: it's a poorer world without the ramones on it
	11:46pm tom tom the pipers son: in it
	11:55pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:46 Truth.
	11:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @11:55 Aye. First real band I ever saw live, so they have a special place in my heart that's sort of detached from all the corny adoration they earned in their post-RIP years.
	11:56pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Bumpin' Contraption" by "Latyrx" Reminded me of recently re-appreciating a fun 12” mix groove: “Work That Sucker to Death” = a very fun sir👃devoid of funk infused collaboration by Xavier & Bootsy 12”mix circa 1981. (pun the tail on the dunkey 🫏~…) “Twerk that Ducker to Seth” 😜.
	12:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Bridge View" by "Skatalites" digging... sax skillz
	12:03am Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:02 This sounds also like early jazz.
	12:04am Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @12:03 Totally. Therein lies their eternal greatness.
	12:04am Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Journey Through The Past" by "Neil Young" NOW LET'S ALL HAVE A GOOD CRY.
	12:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @12:03 ska/ragtime
	12:04am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:04 I was lucky enough to see them right before almost all of them died in rapid succession.
	12:05am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:04 Of all the Neil Vibes... this is my favorite.
	12:08am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Osiris in Pieces" by "Hannah Marcus" "Muther fucker whatever" well that came out of nowhere!
	12:09am Mike Lupica: I appreciate creative use of profanity in music and this song has it in ACES.
	12:09am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Osiris in Pieces" by "Hannah Marcus" Liked for the profanities!
	12:09am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:09 "Liked" = gold starred.
	12:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:09 thumbs up to pissed off women
	12:10am Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:10 Precisely!
	12:11am Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @12:08 Love a good bitter hateful song about an ex lover. I dunno why
	12:11am Mike Lupica: There's a Geraldine Fibbers song that I will take to my grave as having the single best utterance of the word "FUCK" in any song ever recorded. It sounds cooler/more meaningful when women say it.
	12:11am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:10 Hells yeah. This is their time.
	12:13am Ike: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:11 I'm glad somebody else remembers the Geraldine Fibbers. Nobody at my crappy, now-defunct 10-watt college radio station (WMNJ) played that CD when it came in. (Hardly anybody played the first two Low albums either.)
	12:13am tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry Convicted of Taking Bribes Despite Laying Out An Economic Vision Amid Industrial Ruins, and a Scheme to Sell Graceland, U.S. Realtors Capture the Faces of Evil At a Festival Of Misinformation While Fossils Show Giant Predatory Sea Scorpions And Document Myths, Plagues and Battles of Work-Life Balance
	12:14am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:13 Y'know, these would make excellent postcards.
	12:15am Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @12:13 Shame!
	12:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:11 it's a bit like taking back the n-word
	12:15am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:13 Ha! Did you know that the cute little pill bugs are arthropods, not insects, and related to sea scorpions? I bet that you didnt care either...
	12:16am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:15 I did not know, but that IS cool!
	12:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:15 alas...i did not make those connections but they all make sense
	12:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:14 times might come after me then
	12:18am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:18 FAIR USE.
	12:19am Yvang: This poem stands out Amid Industrial Ruins.
	12:20am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "J'arrive" by "Jacques Brel" <Squidward voice> I have arrived!
	12:20am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:15 times often covers prehistoric life forms but it always feels like they are talking about something contemporary unintentionally
	12:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:18 yes, that's why i have the NOT there, but...
	12:22am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:20 Given the amount of rain and humidity around the Philly area I'm always on the lookout for the return of prehistoric creatures.
	12:23am Yvang: ↳ Song: "J'arrive" by "Jacques Brel" He beats everyone else at INTENSITY
	12:24am Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @12:23 Hells yes.
	12:26am ike̶̬̕: I haven't been to Philly in a while. DJ Donna insists that I must go to the SEA Market in FDR Park before the season ends in October.
	12:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "His New Look" by "Bongwater" was friend with dave rick's sister while living with my parents on long island we took a trip to a barbecue to where he was living in south williansburg for barbecue and bands ...after we went to east village for sushi a cb's where we saw love child and hypnolovewheel...good times...
	12:27am Alex from Media: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @12:26 Keep an eye on your 6 for Velociraptors.
	12:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:26 late 80's
	12:29am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:26 That's like a triple Yahtzee of 1980s NYC rock experiences. Did you go to Venus Records and get an egg cream at Gem Spa on the same day?!?
	12:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:29 ha ha!!! right... did that in the 90's
	12:31am ike̶̬̕: ??? Velociraptors like Indonesian food?
	12:33am Alex from Media: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @12:31 Philly weather breeds em.
	12:33am tom tom the pipers son: warning... one more in the chamber
	12:35am tom tom the pipers son: hannah mar-curse ...bada -bing
	12:38am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:35 Joke I heard this week: I went shopping for cherries and microphones today. Bought a bing, bought a boom.
	12:38am tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry For the Rescuer of A Nazi Villa, Trouble Arrived With Real-World Violence of an Ancient Shipwreck Inside the Mountain Stronghold of an Elusive Rebel Movement Roaming With Cowboys and Flamingos, Reviving an Endangered Revelation in the Woods Of My Old Church’s Fundamentalist Wing
	12:38am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Here Today" by "Nausea" 🤘🤘🤘 Ouch my neck!
	12:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:38 i'm curious where you heard that joke especially since there' no more sam ash
	12:41am tom tom the pipers son: i promise less poetry next week... my instagram is getting no traffic and i'm desperate for eyeballs on them
	12:43am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:41 No apologies necessary. I think it's cool to share it here!
	12:43am Pauly from Clifton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:41 Tom, no. Please keep it coming. I like it.
	12:44am tom tom the pipers son: thanks mike... there is something about a live feed that adds an element
	12:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @12:43 thank pauly...
	12:44am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:41 I'm enjoying it
	12:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:44 great... just wonder if i'm hogging space
	12:46am Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Shut Down (Annihilation Man)" by "The Germs" Did anyone else kinda like the seemingly hate-able Germs biopic with Shane West from E.R. as Darby as much as I did?
	12:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Shut Down (Annihilation Man)" by "The Germs" really dig this germs
	12:46am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:45 It has a zen instantaneousness.
	12:47am Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:38 This is the real World with Trouble!
	12:48am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:46 I think this song illuminates their experimental streak in a way that a lot of their more well-known songs don't. What I love about the Germs is the sense that even in their tightest moments ("Lexicon Devil", "Communist Eyes", etc.), there's a very real sense that the bottom could fall out at any second.
	12:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @12:47 i kind look at as a form science fiction maybe info-fiction
	12:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:48 exactly...and in some ways more honest than teenage jesus, but they were earlier
	12:52am Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:49 Info-fiction as a tool to mock Propaganda
	12:52am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:51 I love Teenage Jesus, but they are somehow sophisticated in a way the Germs ... aren't.
	12:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Bomber" by "James Gang" very nice
	12:53am Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "The Bomber" by "James Gang" \m/
	12:53am Chop Scott: James Gang! Always fantastic to hear.
	12:53am Mike Lupica: Big stupid fuckin' James Gang fan right here.
	12:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:52 yes exactly...
	12:54am Mike Lupica: Shit, didn't I end the show with an old Aerosmith song a week or two ago? I'm gonna get myself a reputation... or a phone call from Fabio, one or the other.
	12:54am Chop Scott: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:53 Nothing stupid about that at all!
	12:54am tom tom the pipers son: this joe walsh psyching out...?
	12:54am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Bomber" by "James Gang" If I heard this on a classic rock station it would be just another retread, btu somehow chasing Germs puts it in a new and better light.
	12:55am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:54 MY WORK ON THIS PLANET IS DONE, ALEX.
	12:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:54 classic rock would never play something this laid out
	12:57am Chop Scott: Bravo and Cheers Mike! I thank you.
	12:57am Alex from Media: Thanks Mike for the show, the enlightenment and the forum for us old retreads
	12:58am Alex from Media: Met him once. Fabio is a cool guy actually...
	12:58am Yvang: Thanks Mike! This show did not suck.
	12:59am tom tom the pipers son: thanks mike, lotsa great stuff...james gang was a cherry on top
	12:59am Pauly from Clifton: Thanks Mike! Great, tunes, great time! Have a great rest of the weekend pitcrew!
	12:59am Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Yvang @12:58 What Yvang said.
	1:00am tom tom the pipers son: g'nite everyone
	1:01am Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "The Bomber" by "James Gang" I had never heard Joe Walsh’s fun tune ‘Analog Man’ circa 2012 (¿a very belated Neil Young nod?) until recently.
	1:01am Mike Lupica: Good hang tonight, pitcrew. See ya next week!
	1:04pm Kim Sorise: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:32 Me too! I have always dug this song. Peace out GK

Listener comments!
	8:50pm tom tom the pipers son: couldn't resist...like writing your initials in wet cement....
	9:54pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:50 I wrote my name in wet cement exactly once (when I was in 4th grade). The guy laying the cement busted me doing it and straight up threatened to kill me.
	10:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Mike, tom tom, gang!
	10:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:54 are you threatening me?.....;;; )))
	10:01pm Yvang: Hi! I love this PJ Harvey/John Parrish song!
	10:02pm Mike Lupica: Yo pitcrew!
	10:02pm Chop Scott: Cheers for The Starlite Lounge!
	10:02pm Yvang: Parish*
	10:02pm Alex from Media: Hey Mike and Loungers! I stand ready to defend Raygun's honor (which means I'm full of beer)!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Mike
	10:04pm Yvang: Tom Tom, Mike, Pauly, Chop Scott, Alex, Coel!
	10:05pm coelacanth∅: Aloha Yvang
	10:05pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Yvang @10:04 Hiya Yvang!
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: i somehow remember that episode of bewitched
	10:06pm Mike Lupica: Every time I think the show's gonna be good it ends up sucking and when I think the show's gonna suck, it ends up being good. So let's try some reverse engineering here in the chat and I now declare that tonight's show is... gonna suck.
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @10:02 naked raygun, the honorable?
	10:06pm tom tom the pipers son: i actually never did that, but reminds me...i once tried stealing a bottle of soda from a beer truck stopped at a light, the person behind truck started honking their horn and driver got out of truck and chased me down the street into back yards. waited for the coast to clear to go back and retrieve my skateboard which i had to ditch jumping fences
	10:06pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 I went on a Paul Lynde YouTube bender this week.
	10:06pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 It IS Paul Lynde!
	10:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:06 so far you're failing at failing; but you didn't hear it from me.
	10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:06 as uncle arthur
	10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: greetings mike ...all...
	10:09pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:06 Ha! reminds me of an escapade where I hit a bus driver with a snowball (okay not a proud moment). He got out and chased me a full block but I got away through the alleys.
	10:10pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:07 SOMEONE GET FABIO ON THE HORN, STAT!
	10:10pm tom tom the pipers son: saw an early tonight show appearance by pj harvey ...had no idea she was a farmgirl ...she talked ablout castrating livestock
	10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:09 very similar experiences and i think healthy for kids
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:06 i always thought those open beverage trucks were just inviting me. i never did try to steal from one, though i always had planned to. -thinking about it now, those drivers probably noticed every young hoodlum in their periphery and from a distance approaching
	10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 That tracks. Taking the fam to see her in Philly next month. Can't wait!
	10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:13 she's back to form...nice
	10:14pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Alex from Media @10:09 HA! I was going to relate a similar story about throwing snowballs at cars! A bunch of us hit a some Mopar car and it stopped in the middle of the road as two guys jumped out and started chasing a bunch of 12 year-olds. Good times!
	10:15pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:12 We didnt play so much as infest our neighborhood.
	10:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:14 I still haven't really checked out her latest record. But this gig is in a seated venue (and we sprang for the fancy box $eat$ so the kiddo would be able to see), so I expect it will be more of a "performance" than a "gig".
	10:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @10:14 Small and fast wins sometimes.
	10:17pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:15 It's the American way.
	10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:13 what was the name of that wim wenders film...the anxiety of the goalie at the penalty kick...remake that with a beer truck driver and a tweener hooodlum
	10:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:16 recent recording is supposed to be really good...heard one track and thought so
	10:19pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Alex from Media @10:16 Amen! Plus knowing the lay of the land was a huge advantage.
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: had the snowball times, and the acorn times. we had tons of acorns. the closest neighbor my own age was steven across the street, the catholic school kid. he put rocks in the snowballs, and threw pebbles sometimes instead of acorns. (not that i'm proud of myself for throwing acorns) we got chased just once.
	10:21pm tom tom the pipers son: this thread brings to mind "skitching"
	10:22pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:21 Ha yes!
	10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Evening of Swing (Has Been Cancelled)" by "Half M... reminding me of robyn hitchcock
	10:24pm Yvang: Not living in a snowy area I rather threw waterbombs at adults.
	10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:24 you play with the cards dealt to you...; )
	10:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ha! all of those...another reeason to be here
	10:29pm Alex from Media: Home cure. A shot of Kirsch. if you can keep it down you're good in a few minutes.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: could i forfeit the 10 pounds lighter for 5 extra years younger and 15 extra bucks?
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: (5 extra bucks. 15 total. thanks.)
	10:32pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" by "Greg... Yup.
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace. i always liked this song. and it always reminds me of Tom Petty.
	10:33pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" by "Greg... There's people out there turning breakups into gold.
	10:33pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike veteran dj move looping intro for bed music then letting it ride
	10:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:32 Shoutout to the era when looking like an insurance salesman didn't get in the way of becoming a rock star.
	10:34pm Roberto: How's everyone's evening (or otherwise) going? I'm just chillin' at home while scrubbing some cat shit off the rug.
	10:35pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:33 Thanks. I can also do this while leaping through a flaming hoop and playing a tiny saxophone.
	10:35pm tom tom the pipers son: just finished dinner...
	10:35pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:34 So say we all!
	10:36pm Roberto: The cat didn't shit on the rug per se. S/he likely dragged a dingleberry across it.
	10:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:35 ha!ha! ....my liege
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:36 Shaming them on the internet is a just and fair punishment.
	10:37pm coelacanth∅: for some reason i read "sousaphone"...then thinking a tiny sousaphone must still be bigger than a regular-sized saxophone
	10:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:36 Speaking of cats... I watched Keanu last night (Key and Peele movie from a few years ago.) Great for late night/inebriated laughs.
	10:38pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:37 <-- On that note, there's a 50% chance it was this guy.
	10:39pm tom tom the pipers son: the poems i have lined up are not all premieres i have to confess...yvang might recognize one
	10:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:38 youtu.be...
	10:40pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:39 I am not against reruns.
	10:41pm tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry In a Trilogy That Explores the Nazi Era, An Actress Who Brings Raw Drama to Her Roles, and Made Reality TV a Real Career In a New Line of Clothes Fit for Magical Rituals, Is Burning Faster Than Parts of Boreal Forest, Choosing Their Own Faustian Adventure, Getting Nine Years for Stealing $1.5 Million in Chicken Wings In An Improbably Long Ancient Journey

	10:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:43 yes i bet she would have relished the role of a nazi actress
	10:44pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 "farty synth" This time I was smart enough to not have beer in my mouth.
	10:45pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Roberto @10:34 You too?
	10:46pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:41 trippy how you stitch em together. I recall most of these.

	10:48pm Roberto: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @10:45 You know it!
	10:49pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:48 I love the yellow press for their alliterative headlines.
	10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Only Conscious Being in the Universe" by "Bar... i like this even though it has a missing persons vibe
	10:50pm Chop Scott: Theres currently a great doc on Criterion about Hershell Gordon Lewis & David Friedman.
	10:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:48 I gape in wide-eyed wonder at what you could do with the headlines from our local rag here in Jersey. (The Trentonian.) Most famous headline was: "HEAD HAD AIDS" (about a dismembered dome discovered on a gold course in the 80s.)
	10:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:50 * golf course
	10:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:49 the yellow pressy thing that's going on with the times now it there coverage of a successful revolution run by students and a nobel peace prize winner installed as new pm. nothing but negative coverage when the real story is the former pm absconded with hundreds of millions of dollars
	10:55pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Disneytime" by "Dandelion Adventure" The bass!
	10:55pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" by "Greg... Hiya👋Kidz. never committed or purchased any Greg Kihn albums (which I now realize was a misstep!). Too snobbily preoccupied with Elvis Costello, Dave Edmunds, Rockpile, Nick Lowe, Tom Petty, Andy Fairweather Low, John Cooper Clarke, Doll by Doll, & that other name game tomfoolery genius Harry Knillssonn, etc etc. (never fellow San Fran Huey Lewis either). Oh well, my loss 🤷
	10:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:50 ha! that's rich, but the job of the poet is already done...not that i'm calling myself a poet
	10:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik/VT @10:55 I never had his records either! But I never disliked any of his hits.
	10:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Disneytime" by "Dandelion Adventure" kick ass
	10:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:55 I think their crowning moment of tastelessness was the headline they ran about a fire in an area mental institution: "ROASTED NUTS". (Shakes head in shame at the species...)
	10:58pm tom tom the pipers son: the low angle in tha graveyard gif is transcendent ...karl freund... frankenstein
	10:59pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:58 tossing the soil in the face of death also important
	10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:57 shakes head....that's so bad ...as i laugh
	11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:59 no they're looking for bodies for the monster or bride of... karl freund is the cinematographer escaped nazis to later work on 'i love lucy'
	11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:59 oh yes i get it now
	11:02pm Mike Lupica: "escaped nazis to later work on 'i love lucy'" --- What a world!
	11:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:02 pretty sure some ground was broken on 'i love lucy' in tv production by freund
	11:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:02 well now that i think of it...not sure he was escaping from nazis...was in hollywood in early 30's... nazis for sure, the reason for not going back to germany
	11:11pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:10 nazis took power in the early 30s could still be true.
	11:13pm Ike: Lucille Ball helped make Star Trek (via Desilu) while Dolly Parton was key in making Buffy (via Sandollar), so we need a crossover where Buffy and Spock beat up Nazi vampires.
	11:13pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Song: "Heartbreak Hotel" by "John Cale" I have never heard this version. WOW. This is SO excellent! Genius!
	11:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @11:13 I support this, Ike!
	11:14pm StringOFperils: <3 Slow Dazzle
	11:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @11:13 Yes! Killer cover!
	11:14pm tom tom the pipers son: freund emigrated in '29...only mention in wiki of nazis is this In 1937, he visited Germany to bring his daughter to the United States, saving her from almost certain death in the concentration camps. His ex-wife, Susette Freund, remained in Germany, where she was murdered at the Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1942.[18]
	11:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Hold Me Up Thank You" by "Khruangbin" saw video of this band and was suprised by how glam their stage act is
	11:17pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:16 I'm just getting into them now, but yeah, would not have expected that kinda presentation!
	11:18pm tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry The Artist Who Tried to Solve The Risks of Experimenting With the Sun Using Hard Data and Ancient Wisdom Is Back With Boats, Cocaine and Bigger Ambitions And Anxious About the Terribly Difficult Subject Behind the Twisted Humanity On Broadway
	11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: roly-poly...!
	11:19pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 Love it!
	11:19pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:14 Nazis took power in 1933. A very dense frightening and informative book is the Rise and Fall of the Thjrd Reich by William Shirer. He was a reporter in Germany through the rise and was given access to the records after the war. If you want to understand the current populism it is essential reading.
	11:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:19 Second only to tardigrades in terms of cute bugs. Well, I guess those little hairy spiders that look like they're smiling are kinda cute, too.
	11:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:19 ...; )
	11:21pm Roberto: I worked for the US Holocaust Memorial Museum for a while last year. Just when you thought you knew everything there was to know about the Holocaust...you don't!
	11:22pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 This artist probably exist somewhere.
	11:23pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Heartbreak Hotel" by "John Cale" Was just chatting with a fellow John Cale enthusiast, yet they had never heard his dark epic beauty that is “Hedda Gabler” 7:53min… ¿Originally from the ‘Animal Justice’ ep circa 1977?
	11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @11:19 i am familiar but only read part of it...but you are correct about populism...overheard conversation..."we'll all have to wear masks soon because of the invasion of non'christians"
	11:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:22 yep
	11:25pm Roberto: If you read up on public sentiment in the U.S. in the years leading up to our involvement in WWII, it becomes apparent just how close things came to going to other way.
	11:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Marabayassa" by "The Rail Band" such a track...
	11:26pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:23 Yes because Christianism is the only germs free religion.
	11:26pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:25 Direct military involvement, I should say.
	11:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:25 Seems like old times...
	11:27pm Erik/VT: ↳ Ike @11:13 👆excellent conceptual work-out 👏👏 😁
	11:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:26 doesn't make any sense on all levels including the migrants are coming from christian america countries
	11:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:25 This record is stellar. What a revelation...
	11:28pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "What Time Is It?" by "Ken Nordine" Ken Nordine! Great stuff! Old word jazz series on the internet archive archive.org...
	11:28pm Roberto: After all that heavy talk about John Lennon's death last week, I'm glad we're keeping things light tonight.
	11:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:28 Hahaha!
	11:29pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:28 Good thing you saw the irony hashtag.
	11:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @11:28 what...i love lucy...?
	11:30pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Alex from Media @11:19 Indeed. Thorough and dense. Like you mentioned, the parallels are concerning.
	11:31pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "What Time Is It?" by "Ken Nordine" This story reminds me of one of my favorite radio stations of my youth: WWVB of Fort Collins, CO. All time, all the time!
	11:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:31 Happy to have picked up this Ken Nordine record recently... I only knew the color jazz record previously.
	11:33pm Erik/VT: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 isn’t that the play “Icarus & his amazingly melted polyester dream coat” ?!
	11:34pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Roberto @11:25 Lindbergh was a major booster of "America First". There were many German "bunds" across the eastern and Midwestern US that favored neutrality in the 40s. They hated Roosevelt for arming the UK through lend lease.
	11:34pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike ...you're playing some great 'dance-to' tracks tonight
	11:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik/VT @11:33 hmmm...yes!
	11:36pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:34 Right on, glad it's appreciated. Can't smash your head against the punk rock all the time, after all. The next song on deck is an ass-shaker, for sure.
	11:37pm Roberto: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @11:34 Lindy's legacy is a tad tainted, to say the least.
	11:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:36 And with more farty synth, for the people in the back!
	11:39pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:38 Still awake! Just checkin' my eyelids for holes.
	11:41pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:38 I don't need to synth my fartiness!
	11:42pm Yvang: ↳ Roberto @11:41 Let's sync our fartiness.
	11:43pm Yvang: ↳ Yvang @11:42 How I tried poetry
	11:44pm tom tom the pipers son: think the synth bass fartiness has to do with freeing one's ass and mind following
	11:44pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Bad Brain" by "Ramones" one two three four!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
	11:45pm tom tom the pipers son: it's a poorer world without the ramones on it
	11:46pm tom tom the pipers son: in it
	11:55pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:46 Truth.
	11:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @11:55 Aye. First real band I ever saw live, so they have a special place in my heart that's sort of detached from all the corny adoration they earned in their post-RIP years.
	11:56pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Bumpin' Contraption" by "Latyrx" Reminded me of recently re-appreciating a fun 12” mix groove: “Work That Sucker to Death” = a very fun sir👃devoid of funk infused collaboration by Xavier & Bootsy 12”mix circa 1981. (pun the tail on the dunkey 🫏~…) “Twerk that Ducker to Seth” 😜.
	12:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Bridge View" by "Skatalites" digging... sax skillz
	12:03am Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:02 This sounds also like early jazz.
	12:04am Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @12:03 Totally. Therein lies their eternal greatness.
	12:04am Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Journey Through The Past" by "Neil Young" NOW LET'S ALL HAVE A GOOD CRY.
	12:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @12:03 ska/ragtime
	12:04am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:04 I was lucky enough to see them right before almost all of them died in rapid succession.
	12:05am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:04 Of all the Neil Vibes... this is my favorite.
	12:08am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Osiris in Pieces" by "Hannah Marcus" "Muther fucker whatever" well that came out of nowhere!
	12:09am Mike Lupica: I appreciate creative use of profanity in music and this song has it in ACES.
	12:09am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Osiris in Pieces" by "Hannah Marcus" Liked for the profanities!
	12:09am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:09 "Liked" = gold starred.
	12:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:09 thumbs up to pissed off women
	12:10am Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:10 Precisely!
	12:11am Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @12:08 Love a good bitter hateful song about an ex lover. I dunno why
	12:11am Mike Lupica: There's a Geraldine Fibbers song that I will take to my grave as having the single best utterance of the word "FUCK" in any song ever recorded. It sounds cooler/more meaningful when women say it.
	12:11am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:10 Hells yeah. This is their time.
	12:13am Ike: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:11 I'm glad somebody else remembers the Geraldine Fibbers. Nobody at my crappy, now-defunct 10-watt college radio station (WMNJ) played that CD when it came in. (Hardly anybody played the first two Low albums either.)
	12:13am tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry Convicted of Taking Bribes Despite Laying Out An Economic Vision Amid Industrial Ruins, and a Scheme to Sell Graceland, U.S. Realtors Capture the Faces of Evil At a Festival Of Misinformation While Fossils Show Giant Predatory Sea Scorpions And Document Myths, Plagues and Battles of Work-Life Balance
	12:14am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:13 Y'know, these would make excellent postcards.
	12:15am Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @12:13 Shame!
	12:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:11 it's a bit like taking back the n-word
	12:15am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:13 Ha! Did you know that the cute little pill bugs are arthropods, not insects, and related to sea scorpions? I bet that you didnt care either...
	12:16am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:15 I did not know, but that IS cool!
	12:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:15 alas...i did not make those connections but they all make sense
	12:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:14 times might come after me then
	12:18am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:18 FAIR USE.
	12:19am Yvang: This poem stands out Amid Industrial Ruins.
	12:20am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "J'arrive" by "Jacques Brel" <Squidward voice> I have arrived!
	12:20am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:15 times often covers prehistoric life forms but it always feels like they are talking about something contemporary unintentionally
	12:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:18 yes, that's why i have the NOT there, but...
	12:22am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:20 Given the amount of rain and humidity around the Philly area I'm always on the lookout for the return of prehistoric creatures.
	12:23am Yvang: ↳ Song: "J'arrive" by "Jacques Brel" He beats everyone else at INTENSITY
	12:24am Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @12:23 Hells yes.
	12:26am ike̶̬̕: I haven't been to Philly in a while. DJ Donna insists that I must go to the SEA Market in FDR Park before the season ends in October.
	12:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "His New Look" by "Bongwater" was friend with dave rick's sister while living with my parents on long island we took a trip to a barbecue to where he was living in south williansburg for barbecue and bands ...after we went to east village for sushi a cb's where we saw love child and hypnolovewheel...good times...
	12:27am Alex from Media: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @12:26 Keep an eye on your 6 for Velociraptors.
	12:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:26 late 80's
	12:29am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:26 That's like a triple Yahtzee of 1980s NYC rock experiences. Did you go to Venus Records and get an egg cream at Gem Spa on the same day?!?
	12:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:29 ha ha!!! right... did that in the 90's
	12:31am ike̶̬̕: ??? Velociraptors like Indonesian food?

	12:38am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:35 Joke I heard this week: I went shopping for cherries and microphones today. Bought a bing, bought a boom.

	12:38am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Here Today" by "Nausea" 🤘🤘🤘 Ouch my neck!
	12:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:38 i'm curious where you heard that joke especially since there' no more sam ash
	12:41am tom tom the pipers son: i promise less poetry next week... my instagram is getting no traffic and i'm desperate for eyeballs on them
	12:43am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:41 No apologies necessary. I think it's cool to share it here!
	12:43am Pauly from Clifton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:41 Tom, no. Please keep it coming. I like it.
	12:44am tom tom the pipers son: thanks mike... there is something about a live feed that adds an element
	12:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @12:43 thank pauly...
	12:44am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:41 I'm enjoying it
	12:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:44 great... just wonder if i'm hogging space
	12:46am Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Shut Down (Annihilation Man)" by "The Germs" Did anyone else kinda like the seemingly hate-able Germs biopic with Shane West from E.R. as Darby as much as I did?
	12:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Shut Down (Annihilation Man)" by "The Germs" really dig this germs
	12:46am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:45 It has a zen instantaneousness.
	12:47am Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:38 This is the real World with Trouble!
	12:48am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:46 I think this song illuminates their experimental streak in a way that a lot of their more well-known songs don't. What I love about the Germs is the sense that even in their tightest moments ("Lexicon Devil", "Communist Eyes", etc.), there's a very real sense that the bottom could fall out at any second.
	12:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @12:47 i kind look at as a form science fiction maybe info-fiction
	12:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:48 exactly...and in some ways more honest than teenage jesus, but they were earlier
	12:52am Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:49 Info-fiction as a tool to mock Propaganda
	12:52am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:51 I love Teenage Jesus, but they are somehow sophisticated in a way the Germs ... aren't.
	12:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Bomber" by "James Gang" very nice
	12:53am Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "The Bomber" by "James Gang" \m/
	12:53am Chop Scott: James Gang! Always fantastic to hear.
	12:53am Mike Lupica: Big stupid fuckin' James Gang fan right here.
	12:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:52 yes exactly...
	12:54am Mike Lupica: Shit, didn't I end the show with an old Aerosmith song a week or two ago? I'm gonna get myself a reputation... or a phone call from Fabio, one or the other.
	12:54am Chop Scott: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:53 Nothing stupid about that at all!
	12:54am tom tom the pipers son: this joe walsh psyching out...?
	12:54am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Bomber" by "James Gang" If I heard this on a classic rock station it would be just another retread, btu somehow chasing Germs puts it in a new and better light.
	12:55am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:54 MY WORK ON THIS PLANET IS DONE, ALEX.
	12:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:54 classic rock would never play something this laid out
	12:57am Chop Scott: Bravo and Cheers Mike! I thank you.
	12:57am Alex from Media: Thanks Mike for the show, the enlightenment and the forum for us old retreads
	12:58am Alex from Media: Met him once. Fabio is a cool guy actually...
	12:58am Yvang: Thanks Mike! This show did not suck.
	12:59am tom tom the pipers son: thanks mike, lotsa great stuff...james gang was a cherry on top
	12:59am Pauly from Clifton: Thanks Mike! Great, tunes, great time! Have a great rest of the weekend pitcrew!
	12:59am Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Yvang @12:58 What Yvang said.
	1:00am tom tom the pipers son: g'nite everyone
	1:01am Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "The Bomber" by "James Gang" I had never heard Joe Walsh’s fun tune ‘Analog Man’ circa 2012 (¿a very belated Neil Young nod?) until recently.
	1:01am Mike Lupica: Good hang tonight, pitcrew. See ya next week!
	1:04pm Kim Sorise: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:32 Me too! I have always dug this song. Peace out GK
