	11:03am clarke: HELLO GREGORY!
	11:03am common: good morn

	11:04am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:03 This I believe.
	11:04am clarke: ↳ DanFA @11:02 i suggest a good dose of Neurotica

	11:04am Scott from Boston: Good morning Michael, now I’m happy withthe Partridges!
	11:04am DanFA: ↳ clarke @11:04 Thank you
	11:05am Ciggy: The Omnipresent sounds of #1 Hits from 11 - 1pm
	11:05am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:04 ain't made my mind up, yet.
	11:05am KWilde: Good morning!
	11:05am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:04 I second this emotion. #1 album.
	11:05am clarke: ↳ DanFA @11:04 tis as good a gateway as any
	11:05am DanFA: I've never seen Redd Kross live, but I did see Steve MacDonald on bass during the last Melvins tour
	11:05am Cooh John: When is this kind of music coming back? The world needs it desperately!
	11:06am Scott from Boston: Gosh, this sounds nothing like Keith!😂
	11:06am clarke: the last time i checked, there was not a whole lot of call for cowbell.
	11:07am KWilde: Chris!
	11:07am clarke: jeremy gelbwaks original drummer
	11:08am clarke: then, they stuck brian forster in there - bad move.
	11:08am drr: Gelbwaks would be a great band name.
	11:08am Dano59: I was waiting for that ... influences!
	11:09am clarke: ↳ drr @11:08 we're doin' it!
	11:09am gf2002: I miss having The Partridge Family reruns on TV like it was in the 80's, but I no longer watch broadcast TV anyway. I have all the Partridge albums on vinyl, including the one that came with an actual plastic shopping bag promo. I always dug their music
	11:10am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:09 cassidy had a great voice
	11:10am egould: ↳ Song: "(I've Changed My) Wild Mind" by "Nick Lowe" Nick Lowe is pretty good. Good morning, Michael. Hi fellow listeners.
	11:11am clarke: hot dang! that nick lowe was wild!
	11:11am StringOFperils: It was all Reuben Kincaid's brilliant management IMHO
	11:12am clarke: MISTER Kincaid to you!
	11:12am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:10 Cassidy was a great vocalist, perfect for those tracks! His early 70's solo career was completely nuts, it all but killed him physically and mentally because it was such a crazy scene. He's never really discussed as a musician, which is unfortunate
	11:12am StringOFperils: LOL
	11:12am Squints: G G Y
	11:13am Listener Baby: ↳ StringOFperils @11:11 The Brian Epstein of Friday night TV?
	11:13am clarke: g g Sq
	11:13am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:13 i am as god made me, sir!
	11:13am gf2002: Reminds me that I have to dust off The Partridge Family Christmas Card album and give that a spin in the next few weeks
	11:14am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:13 We all are, sir.
	11:14am Dano59: ↳ DanFA @11:04 I woulda said Show World; but this was the last one (impulse buy at Solid Sound)... www.discogs.com...
	11:15am clarke: rah rah rah!
	11:15am DJ Johnny Cool: Nick Lowe, 2 nights at The Tractor Tavern in Seattle in March. Can't wait!
	11:15am greg g: Morning Michael and merry Makers!
	11:15am egould: Hawthorne High School? I hate that school too.
	11:16am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Listen To My Heart" by "Ramones" What winston said!
	11:17am clarke: winston's not here, can we take a message?
	11:19am Squints: ↳ Song: "Nothing Can Stop Me" by "Jackie DeShannon" Leaning in her Wanda Jackson a little, here. Squints likes it.
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Song: "Nothing Can Stop Me" by "Jackie DeShannon" jacqueline!
	11:19am egould: ↳ DJ Johnny Cool @11:15 The Tractor emails me twice day. I didn’t see the notice, and it look like it’s sold out. Fuck!
	11:19am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Nothing Can Stop Me" by "Jackie DeShannon" Doing her best Brenda Lee.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:19 very!
	11:22am DanFA: Isn't David Lynch in it?
	11:23am Ciggy: Disney +
	11:24am gf2002: I can't wait to see Beatles 64 - I'm wondering how much extra footage is in there compared to the original "First US Visit" documentary, because I've seen that original doc many, many times and love it. Are the Beatles on a roll with these new documentaries, or what?
	11:24am Hughie Considine: Only 11 million streams for "Wild Honey Pie." Weird.
	11:25am Michael Shelley: ↳ DanFA @11:22 Yes
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:24 surprisin' eh?
	11:26am Michael Shelley: ↳ DJ Johnny Cool @11:15 He's been playing 2 nights on most stops, and varying the playlist each night - so go to both!
	11:26am egould: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Life for Me (Sail Away Raymond)" by "Geo... It’s a shanty!
	11:27am DJ Johnny Cool: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:26 Yup!
	11:28am Ciggy: I didn't understand the Beatles being impressed with the synchronization of the Masyles audio and video filming.
	11:28am Random Control: That ranking of the most popular George Harrison song being 2x the next most popular follows some weird natural order of things called Zipf's Law. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_law
	11:28am clarke: this is how the rope gets moved.
	11:30am clarke: who wrote this crap?
	11:32am luka: seems a little steep
	11:33am clarke: coasters are FINE!
	11:33am Greg from ZONE 5: I LOVE PENS.
	11:33am Dano59: them's Lake Placid prices!
	11:33am clarke: there ya go!
	11:33am Pedro in Arlington: I'd take the Billy Joel comp for $75. I'd like it in cash or Venmo.
	11:34am egould: Make a bunch of pens, but don’t send them out as swag. Leave them in the studios so you’ll always have a pen handy.
	11:34am Ed From Jersey City: 75 bucks! As Rex would say, “The radio people oughta do something about this.”
	11:34am gf2002: They're banking on the fact that the buyers aged 16 to 30 or so don't know any better and will overpay those inflated prices to have "vinyl". Albums that should be in the dollar bins are priced at 10 bucks...and people buy them. Gotta make a livin' I guess
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Song: "Love Is You" by "Redd Kross" very topical!
	11:35am berbo: I saw RK open for Sonic Youth, that was awesome.
	11:35am Biba McLurex: NOT a good Redd Kross song to start with.
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Song: "Love Is You" by "Redd Kross" wrong tune
	11:36am luka: ↳ DanFA @11:02 by the logic Michael just said, find whatever record “stay away from downtown” is on. took my head off live.
	11:36am drr: ↳ Biba McLurex @11:35 My college band mates played this record non-stop but I do not remember this song.
	11:36am Biba McLurex: Meaning it’s a Robert Hecker song and not a Jeff and Steve song.
	11:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Love Is You" by "Redd Kross" Just getting into the Redd Kross book by Dan Epstein -- great anecdotes throughout, including their horror when they bought Frampton Comes Alive, thinking it would be a guitar album in the spirit of the guitar albums they loved.
	11:37am gf2002: But as I've said before, if someone walks into a shop with that same Billy Joel vinyl to sell it to the shop, they'll be offered a buck or two for it haha. Cue Seinfeld, with Newman trying to sell Al Jolson records to Bleecker Bob
	11:38am egould: ↳ Song: "Love Is You" by "Redd Kross" Caitlan and Peter and George Harrison youtu.be...
	11:38am Ciggy: Is the Cold Spring Harbor album worth anything
	11:39am Dano59: I'm seeing that @reddkross' "x" account is suspended so I'm wondering what they did. Guesses? (no wrong answers)
	11:39am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Love Is You" by "Redd Kross" Interesting are the recordings that Redd Kross bass player overdubbed his bass on a White Stripes LP. Worth hearing.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Ciggy @11:38 i like that record! i think it is worth around $40
	11:41am clarke: the trailroad
	11:42am Marie in Chicago: Hey Michael (and All)! I hope your daughter is enjoying Chicago. IMHO, "Let it Be" is one of the worst Beatles songs. I have a fake fireplace too--looks good.
	11:43am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Papa Ain't Gonna Work On The Railroad No Mre" by ... 1: This rules 2: not just Tom’s. Tom’s with skins on top only.
	11:43am Hughie Considine: Working on the railroad was preferable to working in a coal mine, but not by much I bet.
	11:43am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Papa Ain't Gonna Work On The Railroad No Mre" by ... I attribute the tom-toms in the 70's to Ronnie Tutt's amazing drumming with Elvis and also Hal Blaine and his roto-toms that were on quite a few big hits. Once someone makes money with a certain sound, it gets copied until it runs out of steam and something else replaces it
	11:44am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:43 I dunno, I've met some (Amtrak) railroad workers and they seemed like they'd rather be on the train than elsewhere.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: The stack is back!
	11:44am Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:39 Cold Spring Harbor era: (with celebrity impressions) - www.youtube.com...
	11:44am egould: Teamwork!
	11:44am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "There's a Fire in the Fireplace" by "Cyrcle, The" I have a Cyrkle best-of CD from the early '90s, and I don't remember this song being on it. That just might mean I haven't listened to it in too long, though. I liked that collection a lot. I think I bought it the same day as I bought the Left Banke collection CD (which has just about every studio recording by the Left Banke). I think I got them both at Tower Records on Broadway? I also got a Zombies best-of around then, also. I was discovering music by bands if potentially assumed were boring. They weren't boring.
	11:45am Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @11:39 Redd Blood Cells! yes! I've heard it.
	11:45am clarke: scooby. doo.
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:43 I'm still so tired. How long can this go on?
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:44 will check it!
	11:46am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:44 Makes sense. I was thinking old-time -- the railroads in work songs.
	11:46am drr: ↳ Dano59 @11:44 youtu.be... BJ does musical impressions of Elton John and Neil Young.
	11:46am Jeff: Michael, wondering if you were anywhere near Clear Lake, Iowa last week. The Surf Ballroom (site of Buddy Holly’s last concert) is definitely worth a visit.
	11:48am egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:46 Digging a rail bed, laying track, driving spikes is not as fun as driving the choo choo.
	11:48am steveo: In September, I was scouting a hike up there by Garret Mountain and Rifle Camp and I strolled right by the back of the Great Notch Inn on the way to Montclair, but I had no idea of its importance then. And, unfortunately there was some blatant trespassing involved so I decided not to take the group there :(
	11:48am Dano59: Future Redd Kross lore needs to include the McDonalds' & spouses Anna & Charlotte cameoing in 'Yellowjackets' as New Jersey parents ca. 1997. I can dream can't I? NRBQ were zombies for Romero so anything is possible.
	11:49am drr: ↳ egould @11:48 But that part inspired such Chuck Berry classics as "Let It Rock." So it was worth it.
	11:50am egould: Power pop!
	11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Annie's Gone" by "Redd Kross" OK, now this is top-tier.
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Song: "Annie's Gone" by "Redd Kross" one of me faves!
	11:52am DanFA: The first Redd Kross song I ever heard was Annette's Got the Hits on an early proto-Pandora type streaming service in the early 2000s.
	11:53am egould: ↳ clarke @11:50 Why are you talking like a pirate? :-)
	11:53am clarke: posh boy!
	11:53am Dano59: ↳ Dano59 @11:48 with that dog., Go-Go-s & RK coming out of Shauna's car radio
	11:57am egould: Hanging out under Hermosa pier taking drugs.
	11:58am DanFA: I can't imagine a more complete opposite band opening for Black Flag. Other than maybe Sparks.
	11:58am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Andrew Reich" Okay. You two are describing my childhood, 10 miles to the North. To a tee!
	11:58am clarke: ↳ DanFA @11:58 at that time, they were very similar
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:58 he gets it!
	12:00pm drr: Researching The Blues was 2012?? I would have guessed it came out less than five years ago.
	12:00pm DanFA: Sounds like they were the proto-typical geek rock band.
	12:01pm DanFA: Holy shit
	12:01pm clarke: they were far from typical
	12:01pm Listener Baby: Okay. Except for that older women part
	12:02pm egould: Cougars hanging out at the Red Onion in Redondo.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:01 you didnt get kidnapped??
	12:02pm clarke: he got Baby-napped!
	12:03pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @12:02 Just by The Rockford Files.
	12:03pm DanFA: The 1970s were truly wild.
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:03 "ya gotta help me jimmy!"
	12:05pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:03 $200 a day, plus expenses.
	12:05pm clarke: plus hot dogs.
	12:07pm clarke: does anyone know if Earle Mankey subbed in Redd Kross for a bit? i think he was on 2nd guitar when i saw them, once??
	12:08pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:05 Chilli dog and a cup of coffee. Cigarettes and double-knit polyester. Let’s face it, the interior of the Pontiac smelled like ass.
	12:08pm DanFA: The best bands never get mass acceptance it seems like.
	12:10pm Listener Baby: ↳ DanFA @12:08 Oh yeah? What about NRBQ?
	12:10pm luka: last time i saw em they opened for Melvins and i think Dale did double duty on the throne. mental.
	12:11pm DanFA: ↳ Listener Baby @12:10 Does the average person know who NRBQ is?
	12:12pm Listener Baby: ↳ DanFA @12:11 Kidding?
	12:12pm DanFA: ↳ luka @12:10 Criminally underrated drummer.
	12:13pm DanFA: ↳ Listener Baby @12:12 Sorry, my bad. I always have a hard time telling sarcasm when it's written out.
	12:13pm clarke: good-speaker, andrew is.
	12:13pm Mike Sin: Great interview! Agree with Michael here -- the band did often get a lot promo and "major" label support/chances. It's unfortunate they didn't hit big on the large mainstream level, but it's their nonmainstream quirks that attracts so much of the devoted "weirdo" audience! Mainstream popularity would have required a lot of the edges to get cut off.
	12:13pm egould: ↳ luka @12:10 At this point Melvins and Redd Kross are two bands that are sharing personnel. Pretty smart business plan.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:13 not sarcasm.
	12:13pm Listener Baby: ↳ DanFA @12:13 We should have a beer. Everything I say is sarcasm
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: I first encountered Red Kross when Doug was wearing a RK T-shirt during a Connells show in Atlanta.
	12:14pm DanFA: ↳ Listener Baby @12:13 I'll try to remember that next time we meet. As we dance cheek to cheek.
	12:14pm DanFA: Yay! Drugs!
	12:16pm egould: And that’s why working with Melvins makes sense. Melvins don’t do drugs. It’s all just rock n roll.
	12:16pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Andrew Reich" He knows his kids are going to see this movie. Can’t blame him
	12:18pm egould: Thank god there is not a tragic ending.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Andrew Reich" good point!!
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: FMU kids grow up and make good!
	12:21pm Mike Sin: Pat Duncan's great show was such a WFMU "gateway" for so many listeners!
	12:24pm clarke: fab interview!
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: Very much enjoyed this conversation!
	12:24pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Stay Away From Downtown" by "Redd Kross" Epochal banger.
	12:24pm Listener Baby: Baby is a hammer. He nails it!
	12:24pm luka: ↳ Song: "Stay Away From Downtown" by "Redd Kross" absolute tune
	12:24pm egould: I want to hear a second interview with Andrew. Not about Redd Kross, but about his experience making the documentary.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:24 that would be cool! he tells a good story.
	12:25pm clarke: 10/10
	12:26pm ghost: Love Red Cross , can’t wait for the documentary . Also on a funny side note . My wife was telling my 14 and 15 yo not do drugs ; kind of out of the blue then you started talking about the drug stuff in the interview. Good timing !
	12:27pm onthetrain: hey gang , @ghost whats new .
	12:28pm clarke: i recently discovered Friends myself. enjoyed.
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: Worked on Friends 1997-2004.
	12:28pm DanFA: "Friends is a very good show" WFMU DJ Michael Shelley - CANCELLED!
	12:29pm onthetrain: My Jamaican neighbors loved friends , i could never get into it .
	12:29pm Moammar: Courtney Cox peaked in that Bruce Springsteen video.
	12:29pm Hughie Considine: Went to school with Lisa Kudrow -- she didn't seem funny!
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:28 what did u do?
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ onthetrain @12:29 i think the problem is that you pretty much have to start at the first episode?? (to get it properly)
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:29 Whoa, not me -- Andrew Reich! My closest thing to a contribution to Friends was watching it in syndication while very stoned in like 1999. Hard to love that show when you're actually struggling to live in NYC, I found ...
	12:31pm common: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:28 what did you do on that show, handy? interesting
	12:31pm ChrisB.: Michael: Best idea ever for a premium? A backscratcher.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:30 oh okay! ha ha
	12:31pm Listener Baby: Baby. If possible. Limited edition T- Shirt Bring back the 25 year old design. When they sell out, they sell out. Pens. Meh.
	12:31pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Highly Illogical" by "Leonard Nimoy" This is quite the digression.
	12:31pm McGroovey: I miss the CDs (Cut That Out, and the all-new-songs-by-you-favorite-bands series), but I suppose they were a lot of work.
	12:31pm Paul: Yes to pens.
	12:32pm common: ↳ Song: "Highly Illogical" by "Leonard Nimoy" perfect
	12:32pm Michael Shelley: ↳ DanFA @12:28 I didnt say that! if you 're gonna use quotation marks, you need to actually quote the words I said... that's how it works
	12:32pm Hoboken Jack: In my early days in Hoboken, when Friends was becoming very popular, i thought "Let me check this show out." There was a monkey turning on a stereo but just then, out the window, I noticed an empty parking space I could move my car to (parking then and now being at a premium in that Mile Square City). I never watched Friends again with the exception of viewings on Thanksgiving, on planes, and at the gym.
	12:32pm egould: ↳ Song: "Highly Illogical" by "Leonard Nimoy" rolls eyes
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: Friends came on after Seinfeld right? I think I turned off the tube when that theme song started.
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Highly Illogical" by "Leonard Nimoy" Leonard was no one-trick pony.
	12:32pm DanFA: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:32 Sorry, Michael. I was just kidding.
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:31 i agree - i would vote for a CD but doesn't have to be this time around.
	12:32pm Dano59: ↳ egould @12:32 mmm haven't heard this since Dr. Demento ca. 1985
	12:33pm DanFA: ↳ DanFA @12:32 I would never call for any WFMU DJs or anyone else for that matter to be cancelled.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:32 i am as god made me, sir!
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:32 Honestly, a parking space seems like a real win in that equation! Yeah, I never did find a way to like that show.
	12:33pm Listener Baby: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:32 Funny!
	12:33pm McGroovey: ↳ ghost @12:26 Yeah,... My youngest noticed during the obligatory don't-do-drugs conversations that I was remaining silent, and my wife was doing all the talking...🥴
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:33 Though I can agree with Michael that it was "well written."
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:32 oh i agree - i hated that show when it was current. re-discovered later that it is actually pretty okay
	12:34pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:33 I am a product of 60's television.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ McGroovey @12:33 Heh. My drug talk from my dad was basically, "Try not to smoke too much pot -- all of my friends died of heroin overdoses." You could tell his heart was not in it.
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: ↳ ChrisB. @12:31 not bad!
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:34 as god made you.
	12:35pm Hughie Considine: "Friends" makes an appearance in The Handmaid's Tale, which I am just getting around to watching.
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Sympathy" by "Wanda Jackson" I first heard Wanda's "Funnel of Love" with the Meat Puppets cover. They are very different.
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:35 Bounced pretty hard off that show. Tried but just couldn't. Which is too bad -- the book seems like it could be good filmed. Maybe a movie would have worked better for me?
	12:37pm egould: Pens Michael.
	12:37pm Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 FoL is one of my favorites.
	12:37pm DanFA: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 Funnel of Love makes an appearance in the show Reservation Dogs. Great show.
	12:37pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:35 Oh, yeah, well, I did talk about how one of my high school friends, and two of his sons, died partly or totally from far drug use, but I felt safely non-hypocritical talkinh about that, because I didn't do the hard stuff, myself.
	12:38pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Gimme Some" by "Dorondo" So great now directs the band while singing this. This is take 1.5
	12:38pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:31 I wish - just not how it works... I cant quite afford shirts (Im not Paul anka - news.pollstar.com...)
	12:38pm gf2002: Giant-sized, obnoxious WFMU coffee mugs, in tribute to Friends
	12:38pm wenzo: I came across Dorondo on someone’s dating profile who swiped/“matched” with me and then never responded to my messages. I’m not mad about it 😂
	12:38pm clarke: i thought you were paul anka.
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: ↳ DanFA @12:32 ME TOO!
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ McGroovey @12:37 My dad had also separately told me how he was admitted to a Trotskyite cell in LA because he would bring pot to all the meetings -- and then kicked out because he kept bringing pot to all the meetings. But it's true that a lot his friends died from heroin. Billie Holiday being perhaps the most notable example.
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:37 It's a very film-able book -- so much to it that it makes sense that it could be expanded over five seasons. But it could have been a great film as well. I agree - it's just brutal.
	12:40pm DanFA: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:39 Oh thank god. I really thought you were mad.
	12:41pm Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:38 Kick start account to help out. I got a 10-er for another MS shirt. Was my pajama shirt for about 20 years.
	12:41pm egould: Marshall Crenshaw and Smithereens is peanut butter and jelly.
	12:42pm Hughie Considine: ↳ DanFA @12:37 Miniseries these days have amazing soundtracks.
	12:42pm Handy Haversack: Premium idea: Michael Shelley #1 Recipes Book
	12:42pm DanFA: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:42 It was a full series. 3 seasons I think.
	12:43pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:42 Man, food really always does come up on the chats for every show.
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:42 would think books are more costly than tshirts.?
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:43 Mark Hurst did a printed book a few years back -- he might have a line on a cheap methodology.
	12:44pm drr: ↳ DanFA @12:37 It took me a few episodes to catch on with Reservation Dogs but then, you're right, it's great.
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: ↳ DanFA @12:42 Series of various sizes then.
	12:44pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Green Tambourine" by "Newbury Park" I kinda like this better than the actual hit. They kinda funk this up a little.
	12:44pm egould: Michael Shelley’s #1 hit trading cards. You’d be surprised how much I would pledge for that. Hell, I’d be surprised.
	12:44pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Green Tambourine" by "Newbury Park" I have it my head that is is Jim Gordon on this. I just knows it.
	12:44pm clarke: he's not paul anka (as we JUST found out)!!!
	12:45pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:44 Paul Anka lived in Tenafly, on the East Hill, the fancy part, natch.
	12:45pm luka: ↳ egould @12:44 we should have a march madness tournament to determine the ultimate #1 during the marathon no wait this is actually brilliant?
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ drr @12:44 So great. Maybe the best TV of the past decade?
	12:46pm luka: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:45 that show did rip
	12:46pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Green Tambourine" by "Newbury Park" Harmonizing aplenty.
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ luka @12:45 Bracket you so hard!
	12:46pm drr: @clarke, as long as we're talking about the extinct genre of "rock and roll" on here. Stacks are playing "rock and roll" at Pirogue's again tonight.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:45 natch! not montclair!
	12:46pm common: ↳ drr @12:44 love that show
	12:46pm egould: ↳ Squints @12:44 Yeah. And take out the overt “psychedelic” sound effects.
	12:46pm DG: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:29 From what I've heard from her, and read in interviews, Lisa was a serious student (may have planned to go into medicine like her dad) but her bropther was good friends with Jon Lovitz, who encouraged her to try acting/comedy. She was in the Groundlings, like many future SNL stars, but actually failed her audition for the show. She's more versatile than "Frienlds" would suggest---check out the amazing tragedy/comedy "The Comeback."
	12:46pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:45 Definitely in the top 10.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 in chalmette, right??
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: If you dont make a cd - the station will pay uo to $2 for your swag - and DJs pay anything over that - so the coasters (for instance) cost just over that - so I need an idea in the just over $2 range...
	12:48pm drr: ↳ egould @12:46 ...you mean the "play -lay -lay -lay -lay" that we spent so much time imitating after playing our Ronco Looney Tunes albums?? I thought that was the point.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:47 stick wit da coasters!
	12:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:47 Michael Shelley Show Two-Dollar Bills!
	12:48pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Hippie from Mississippi" by "Rusty Adams" Do we believe this guy is a hippie?
	12:49pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Hippie from Mississippi" by "Rusty Adams" 2 diff. anti-hippie songs by this name. Think there was a collection of this proto-MAGA trolling on the FMU blog ... 'Robert Sheldon'? Not Gilbert Shelton?
	12:49pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @12:48 $2.33 bills.
	12:49pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:46 Arabi, Chalmette, whatevs. Right past Jackson Barracks.
	12:49pm Listener Baby: Whoa!, Downward facing key change. Put a mark on that!
	12:49pm Hughie Considine: ↳ DG @12:46 All true - I knew her as the quiet studious housemates of some gregarious girls. I just think it's amazing that she had this gift in her, and it didn't really find expression until she was out of college. Most people know they want to be a performer on some level.
	12:49pm Montmaster J: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:47 #1 Hit Keychains with Logo?
	12:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: 45 RPM record spindles, in the form of a $2 Michael Shelley coin.
	12:50pm luka: ↳ Listener Baby @12:48 #1 hit pogs and slammers
	12:50pm DanFA: Might be Tubi
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @12:50 or perhaps a nostril-hair trimmer?
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: I think Michael Shelley Show #1 Hits foam fingers could be a smash -- how expensive could those be?
	12:51pm DG: There were a few soundtrack albums for "Friends," the first one has an exclusive Lou Reed song, of all things.
	12:52pm egould: Do pens. But do those cool pens with four colors. You’ll probably have to do about 4,000 to get to your price point. www.pens.com...
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Chief's Drive To Mayor" by "Qunicy Jones" the titles like this were probably retro-named by the music director
	12:52pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Chief's Drive To Mayor" by "Qunicy Jones" Very western-y
	12:52pm Dano59: Michael Shelley Chia Head®
	12:52pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:50 Hahaha!
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:52 i'm saying quincy probably submitted the songs with Theme #1 and so forth.
	12:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: #1 Hits coffee cake forks!
	12:53pm drr: Doesn't In The Heat Of The Night feature "Foul Owl"? Or is that some other moody dark Southern drama?
	12:54pm ?: There was another knock off called “Turkey from New Jersey
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:52 esp when one compares to In Cold Blood
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:50 frinkiac.com...
	12:54pm Hubig Pie: ↳ DanFA @12:50 Tubi is great. You can watch the original silent French film The Fall of the House of Usher and then follow that up with Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast.
	12:55pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Good Guys And Bad Guys" by "Camper Van Beethoven" Wished I’d seen this band. Didn’t like them at the time.
	12:55pm DanFA: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:54 That's quite the double feature.
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:55 they were really good live!
	12:56pm A. G.: Oh, we hear it here in Russia, and we understand!
	12:56pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:54 Hubig, I toasted you last night with a martini. Which I was having and was a little peckish, and K8 wasn't home yet, and I thought to myself, "Well, Hubig would recommend salty snacks -- and we DO have Fritos."
	12:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! GREAT interview, really one of the finest. And another great show.
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ drr @12:53 You are correct! It plays on the jukebox during a scene in a diner
	12:56pm DG: I think this track is "Good Guys & Bad Guys." (one of the few CVB songs I know)
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:56 could you enjoy chili-cheese fritos?
	12:57pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @12:55 I’ll bet
	12:57pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:56 They're my only weakness.
	12:57pm ?: “I’m proud to be a turkey from New Jersey. A place where even squares can have a ball…..and Jack Daniels is still the biggest thrill of all. “
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ DG @12:56 you are correct, sir!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:57 I like the purity of regular Fritos. Three ingredients: corn, corn oil, and salt.
	12:57pm John L: Justwatch is a bit more accurate on movie searches than Roku. Sometimes they don't have everything on Kanopy and Hoopla linked.
	12:57pm DanFA: Great show, Michael.
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:57 gotcha
	12:58pm Pedro in Arlington: Stream without ads with Kanopy and hoopla, both through public libraries. But sadly so many great films are only available by paying rental fee to the big boys Mark Hurst warns us about.
	12:58pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:57 Original skinny size please.
	12:58pm egould: Thanks Michael. Thanks Andrew. Thanks silly internet people. Let’s do it again next week.
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:58 hmm.. the original size was huge ones
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: Though we do have extra Fritos right now because K8 made a big chili last week and we're down to the last phase: Frito pie!
	12:59pm DanFA: ↳ John L @12:57 Great resource
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Legacy" by "Mike Tyson" no, i won!
	12:59pm luka: omg this Tyson quote is harrowing
	1:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:57 T-Joes corn chips amazing and half the price
	1:00pm Hughie Considine: Dropping some science for the kids...
	1:00pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:59 noice!
	1:00pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:56 Lyrics by Alan and Marilyn ("Windmills Of Your Mind") Bergman!
	1:00pm luka: “that is something i have not heard before” lord jesus
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Baby @1:00 No TJ within walking distance here. Never actually been inside one!
	1:00pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Legacy" by "Mike Tyson" All we are is dust in the wind.
	1:00pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been frit-ed!! good nite.
	1:00pm luka: exceptional program, peace all
	1:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:00 What?…

	11:04am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:03 And we're just the guys to move it.
	11:04am Scott from Boston: Good morning Michael, now I’m happy withthe Partridges!
	11:04am DanFA: ↳ clarke @11:04 Thank you
	11:05am Ciggy: The Omnipresent sounds of #1 Hits from 11 - 1pm
	11:05am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:04 ain't made my mind up, yet.
	11:05am KWilde: Good morning!
	11:05am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:04 I second this emotion. #1 album.
	11:05am clarke: ↳ DanFA @11:04 tis as good a gateway as any
	11:05am DanFA: I've never seen Redd Kross live, but I did see Steve MacDonald on bass during the last Melvins tour
	11:05am Cooh John: When is this kind of music coming back? The world needs it desperately!
	11:06am Scott from Boston: Gosh, this sounds nothing like Keith!😂
	11:06am clarke: the last time i checked, there was not a whole lot of call for cowbell.
	11:07am KWilde: Chris!
	11:07am clarke: jeremy gelbwaks original drummer
	11:08am clarke: then, they stuck brian forster in there - bad move.
	11:08am drr: Gelbwaks would be a great band name.
	11:08am Dano59: I was waiting for that ... influences!
	11:09am clarke: ↳ drr @11:08 we're doin' it!
	11:09am gf2002: I miss having The Partridge Family reruns on TV like it was in the 80's, but I no longer watch broadcast TV anyway. I have all the Partridge albums on vinyl, including the one that came with an actual plastic shopping bag promo. I always dug their music
	11:10am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:09 cassidy had a great voice
	11:10am egould: ↳ Song: "(I've Changed My) Wild Mind" by "Nick Lowe" Nick Lowe is pretty good. Good morning, Michael. Hi fellow listeners.
	11:11am clarke: hot dang! that nick lowe was wild!
	11:11am StringOFperils: It was all Reuben Kincaid's brilliant management IMHO
	11:12am clarke: MISTER Kincaid to you!
	11:12am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:10 Cassidy was a great vocalist, perfect for those tracks! His early 70's solo career was completely nuts, it all but killed him physically and mentally because it was such a crazy scene. He's never really discussed as a musician, which is unfortunate
	11:12am StringOFperils: LOL
	11:12am Squints: G G Y
	11:13am Listener Baby: ↳ StringOFperils @11:11 The Brian Epstein of Friday night TV?
	11:13am clarke: g g Sq
	11:13am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:13 i am as god made me, sir!
	11:13am gf2002: Reminds me that I have to dust off The Partridge Family Christmas Card album and give that a spin in the next few weeks
	11:14am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:13 We all are, sir.
	11:14am Dano59: ↳ DanFA @11:04 I woulda said Show World; but this was the last one (impulse buy at Solid Sound)... www.discogs.com...
	11:15am clarke: rah rah rah!
	11:15am DJ Johnny Cool: Nick Lowe, 2 nights at The Tractor Tavern in Seattle in March. Can't wait!
	11:15am greg g: Morning Michael and merry Makers!
	11:15am egould: Hawthorne High School? I hate that school too.
	11:16am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Listen To My Heart" by "Ramones" What winston said!
	11:17am clarke: winston's not here, can we take a message?
	11:19am Squints: ↳ Song: "Nothing Can Stop Me" by "Jackie DeShannon" Leaning in her Wanda Jackson a little, here. Squints likes it.
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Song: "Nothing Can Stop Me" by "Jackie DeShannon" jacqueline!
	11:19am egould: ↳ DJ Johnny Cool @11:15 The Tractor emails me twice day. I didn’t see the notice, and it look like it’s sold out. Fuck!
	11:19am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Nothing Can Stop Me" by "Jackie DeShannon" Doing her best Brenda Lee.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:19 very!
	11:22am DanFA: Isn't David Lynch in it?
	11:23am Ciggy: Disney +
	11:24am gf2002: I can't wait to see Beatles 64 - I'm wondering how much extra footage is in there compared to the original "First US Visit" documentary, because I've seen that original doc many, many times and love it. Are the Beatles on a roll with these new documentaries, or what?
	11:24am Hughie Considine: Only 11 million streams for "Wild Honey Pie." Weird.
	11:25am Michael Shelley: ↳ DanFA @11:22 Yes
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:24 surprisin' eh?
	11:26am Michael Shelley: ↳ DJ Johnny Cool @11:15 He's been playing 2 nights on most stops, and varying the playlist each night - so go to both!
	11:26am egould: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Life for Me (Sail Away Raymond)" by "Geo... It’s a shanty!
	11:27am DJ Johnny Cool: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:26 Yup!
	11:28am Ciggy: I didn't understand the Beatles being impressed with the synchronization of the Masyles audio and video filming.
	11:28am Random Control: That ranking of the most popular George Harrison song being 2x the next most popular follows some weird natural order of things called Zipf's Law. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_law
	11:28am clarke: this is how the rope gets moved.
	11:30am clarke: who wrote this crap?
	11:32am luka: seems a little steep
	11:33am clarke: coasters are FINE!
	11:33am Greg from ZONE 5: I LOVE PENS.
	11:33am Dano59: them's Lake Placid prices!
	11:33am clarke: there ya go!
	11:33am Pedro in Arlington: I'd take the Billy Joel comp for $75. I'd like it in cash or Venmo.
	11:34am egould: Make a bunch of pens, but don’t send them out as swag. Leave them in the studios so you’ll always have a pen handy.
	11:34am Ed From Jersey City: 75 bucks! As Rex would say, “The radio people oughta do something about this.”
	11:34am gf2002: They're banking on the fact that the buyers aged 16 to 30 or so don't know any better and will overpay those inflated prices to have "vinyl". Albums that should be in the dollar bins are priced at 10 bucks...and people buy them. Gotta make a livin' I guess
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Song: "Love Is You" by "Redd Kross" very topical!
	11:35am berbo: I saw RK open for Sonic Youth, that was awesome.
	11:35am Biba McLurex: NOT a good Redd Kross song to start with.
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Song: "Love Is You" by "Redd Kross" wrong tune
	11:36am luka: ↳ DanFA @11:02 by the logic Michael just said, find whatever record “stay away from downtown” is on. took my head off live.
	11:36am drr: ↳ Biba McLurex @11:35 My college band mates played this record non-stop but I do not remember this song.
	11:36am Biba McLurex: Meaning it’s a Robert Hecker song and not a Jeff and Steve song.
	11:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Love Is You" by "Redd Kross" Just getting into the Redd Kross book by Dan Epstein -- great anecdotes throughout, including their horror when they bought Frampton Comes Alive, thinking it would be a guitar album in the spirit of the guitar albums they loved.
	11:37am gf2002: But as I've said before, if someone walks into a shop with that same Billy Joel vinyl to sell it to the shop, they'll be offered a buck or two for it haha. Cue Seinfeld, with Newman trying to sell Al Jolson records to Bleecker Bob
	11:38am egould: ↳ Song: "Love Is You" by "Redd Kross" Caitlan and Peter and George Harrison youtu.be...
	11:38am Ciggy: Is the Cold Spring Harbor album worth anything
	11:39am Dano59: I'm seeing that @reddkross' "x" account is suspended so I'm wondering what they did. Guesses? (no wrong answers)
	11:39am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Love Is You" by "Redd Kross" Interesting are the recordings that Redd Kross bass player overdubbed his bass on a White Stripes LP. Worth hearing.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Ciggy @11:38 i like that record! i think it is worth around $40
	11:41am clarke: the trailroad
	11:42am Marie in Chicago: Hey Michael (and All)! I hope your daughter is enjoying Chicago. IMHO, "Let it Be" is one of the worst Beatles songs. I have a fake fireplace too--looks good.
	11:43am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Papa Ain't Gonna Work On The Railroad No Mre" by ... 1: This rules 2: not just Tom’s. Tom’s with skins on top only.
	11:43am Hughie Considine: Working on the railroad was preferable to working in a coal mine, but not by much I bet.
	11:43am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Papa Ain't Gonna Work On The Railroad No Mre" by ... I attribute the tom-toms in the 70's to Ronnie Tutt's amazing drumming with Elvis and also Hal Blaine and his roto-toms that were on quite a few big hits. Once someone makes money with a certain sound, it gets copied until it runs out of steam and something else replaces it
	11:44am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:43 I dunno, I've met some (Amtrak) railroad workers and they seemed like they'd rather be on the train than elsewhere.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: The stack is back!
	11:44am Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:39 Cold Spring Harbor era: (with celebrity impressions) - www.youtube.com...
	11:44am egould: Teamwork!
	11:44am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "There's a Fire in the Fireplace" by "Cyrcle, The" I have a Cyrkle best-of CD from the early '90s, and I don't remember this song being on it. That just might mean I haven't listened to it in too long, though. I liked that collection a lot. I think I bought it the same day as I bought the Left Banke collection CD (which has just about every studio recording by the Left Banke). I think I got them both at Tower Records on Broadway? I also got a Zombies best-of around then, also. I was discovering music by bands if potentially assumed were boring. They weren't boring.
	11:45am Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @11:39 Redd Blood Cells! yes! I've heard it.
	11:45am clarke: scooby. doo.
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:43 I'm still so tired. How long can this go on?
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:44 will check it!
	11:46am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:44 Makes sense. I was thinking old-time -- the railroads in work songs.
	11:46am drr: ↳ Dano59 @11:44 youtu.be... BJ does musical impressions of Elton John and Neil Young.
	11:46am Jeff: Michael, wondering if you were anywhere near Clear Lake, Iowa last week. The Surf Ballroom (site of Buddy Holly’s last concert) is definitely worth a visit.
	11:48am egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:46 Digging a rail bed, laying track, driving spikes is not as fun as driving the choo choo.
	11:48am steveo: In September, I was scouting a hike up there by Garret Mountain and Rifle Camp and I strolled right by the back of the Great Notch Inn on the way to Montclair, but I had no idea of its importance then. And, unfortunately there was some blatant trespassing involved so I decided not to take the group there :(
	11:48am Dano59: Future Redd Kross lore needs to include the McDonalds' & spouses Anna & Charlotte cameoing in 'Yellowjackets' as New Jersey parents ca. 1997. I can dream can't I? NRBQ were zombies for Romero so anything is possible.
	11:49am drr: ↳ egould @11:48 But that part inspired such Chuck Berry classics as "Let It Rock." So it was worth it.
	11:50am egould: Power pop!
	11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Annie's Gone" by "Redd Kross" OK, now this is top-tier.
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Song: "Annie's Gone" by "Redd Kross" one of me faves!
	11:52am DanFA: The first Redd Kross song I ever heard was Annette's Got the Hits on an early proto-Pandora type streaming service in the early 2000s.
	11:53am egould: ↳ clarke @11:50 Why are you talking like a pirate? :-)
	11:53am clarke: posh boy!
	11:53am Dano59: ↳ Dano59 @11:48 with that dog., Go-Go-s & RK coming out of Shauna's car radio
	11:57am egould: Hanging out under Hermosa pier taking drugs.
	11:58am DanFA: I can't imagine a more complete opposite band opening for Black Flag. Other than maybe Sparks.
	11:58am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Andrew Reich" Okay. You two are describing my childhood, 10 miles to the North. To a tee!
	11:58am clarke: ↳ DanFA @11:58 at that time, they were very similar
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:58 he gets it!
	12:00pm drr: Researching The Blues was 2012?? I would have guessed it came out less than five years ago.
	12:00pm DanFA: Sounds like they were the proto-typical geek rock band.
	12:01pm DanFA: Holy shit
	12:01pm clarke: they were far from typical
	12:01pm Listener Baby: Okay. Except for that older women part
	12:02pm egould: Cougars hanging out at the Red Onion in Redondo.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:01 you didnt get kidnapped??
	12:02pm clarke: he got Baby-napped!
	12:03pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @12:02 Just by The Rockford Files.
	12:03pm DanFA: The 1970s were truly wild.
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:03 "ya gotta help me jimmy!"
	12:05pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:03 $200 a day, plus expenses.
	12:05pm clarke: plus hot dogs.
	12:07pm clarke: does anyone know if Earle Mankey subbed in Redd Kross for a bit? i think he was on 2nd guitar when i saw them, once??
	12:08pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:05 Chilli dog and a cup of coffee. Cigarettes and double-knit polyester. Let’s face it, the interior of the Pontiac smelled like ass.
	12:08pm DanFA: The best bands never get mass acceptance it seems like.
	12:10pm Listener Baby: ↳ DanFA @12:08 Oh yeah? What about NRBQ?
	12:10pm luka: last time i saw em they opened for Melvins and i think Dale did double duty on the throne. mental.
	12:11pm DanFA: ↳ Listener Baby @12:10 Does the average person know who NRBQ is?
	12:12pm Listener Baby: ↳ DanFA @12:11 Kidding?
	12:12pm DanFA: ↳ luka @12:10 Criminally underrated drummer.
	12:13pm DanFA: ↳ Listener Baby @12:12 Sorry, my bad. I always have a hard time telling sarcasm when it's written out.
	12:13pm clarke: good-speaker, andrew is.
	12:13pm Mike Sin: Great interview! Agree with Michael here -- the band did often get a lot promo and "major" label support/chances. It's unfortunate they didn't hit big on the large mainstream level, but it's their nonmainstream quirks that attracts so much of the devoted "weirdo" audience! Mainstream popularity would have required a lot of the edges to get cut off.
	12:13pm egould: ↳ luka @12:10 At this point Melvins and Redd Kross are two bands that are sharing personnel. Pretty smart business plan.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:13 not sarcasm.
	12:13pm Listener Baby: ↳ DanFA @12:13 We should have a beer. Everything I say is sarcasm
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: I first encountered Red Kross when Doug was wearing a RK T-shirt during a Connells show in Atlanta.
	12:14pm DanFA: ↳ Listener Baby @12:13 I'll try to remember that next time we meet. As we dance cheek to cheek.
	12:14pm DanFA: Yay! Drugs!
	12:16pm egould: And that’s why working with Melvins makes sense. Melvins don’t do drugs. It’s all just rock n roll.
	12:16pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Andrew Reich" He knows his kids are going to see this movie. Can’t blame him
	12:18pm egould: Thank god there is not a tragic ending.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Andrew Reich" good point!!
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: FMU kids grow up and make good!
	12:21pm Mike Sin: Pat Duncan's great show was such a WFMU "gateway" for so many listeners!
	12:24pm clarke: fab interview!
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: Very much enjoyed this conversation!
	12:24pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Stay Away From Downtown" by "Redd Kross" Epochal banger.
	12:24pm Listener Baby: Baby is a hammer. He nails it!
	12:24pm luka: ↳ Song: "Stay Away From Downtown" by "Redd Kross" absolute tune
	12:24pm egould: I want to hear a second interview with Andrew. Not about Redd Kross, but about his experience making the documentary.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:24 that would be cool! he tells a good story.
	12:25pm clarke: 10/10
	12:26pm ghost: Love Red Cross , can’t wait for the documentary . Also on a funny side note . My wife was telling my 14 and 15 yo not do drugs ; kind of out of the blue then you started talking about the drug stuff in the interview. Good timing !
	12:27pm onthetrain: hey gang , @ghost whats new .
	12:28pm clarke: i recently discovered Friends myself. enjoyed.
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: Worked on Friends 1997-2004.
	12:28pm DanFA: "Friends is a very good show" WFMU DJ Michael Shelley - CANCELLED!
	12:29pm onthetrain: My Jamaican neighbors loved friends , i could never get into it .
	12:29pm Moammar: Courtney Cox peaked in that Bruce Springsteen video.
	12:29pm Hughie Considine: Went to school with Lisa Kudrow -- she didn't seem funny!
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:28 what did u do?
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ onthetrain @12:29 i think the problem is that you pretty much have to start at the first episode?? (to get it properly)
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:29 Whoa, not me -- Andrew Reich! My closest thing to a contribution to Friends was watching it in syndication while very stoned in like 1999. Hard to love that show when you're actually struggling to live in NYC, I found ...
	12:31pm common: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:28 what did you do on that show, handy? interesting
	12:31pm ChrisB.: Michael: Best idea ever for a premium? A backscratcher.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:30 oh okay! ha ha
	12:31pm Listener Baby: Baby. If possible. Limited edition T- Shirt Bring back the 25 year old design. When they sell out, they sell out. Pens. Meh.
	12:31pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Highly Illogical" by "Leonard Nimoy" This is quite the digression.
	12:31pm McGroovey: I miss the CDs (Cut That Out, and the all-new-songs-by-you-favorite-bands series), but I suppose they were a lot of work.
	12:31pm Paul: Yes to pens.
	12:32pm common: ↳ Song: "Highly Illogical" by "Leonard Nimoy" perfect
	12:32pm Michael Shelley: ↳ DanFA @12:28 I didnt say that! if you 're gonna use quotation marks, you need to actually quote the words I said... that's how it works
	12:32pm Hoboken Jack: In my early days in Hoboken, when Friends was becoming very popular, i thought "Let me check this show out." There was a monkey turning on a stereo but just then, out the window, I noticed an empty parking space I could move my car to (parking then and now being at a premium in that Mile Square City). I never watched Friends again with the exception of viewings on Thanksgiving, on planes, and at the gym.
	12:32pm egould: ↳ Song: "Highly Illogical" by "Leonard Nimoy" rolls eyes
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: Friends came on after Seinfeld right? I think I turned off the tube when that theme song started.
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Highly Illogical" by "Leonard Nimoy" Leonard was no one-trick pony.
	12:32pm DanFA: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:32 Sorry, Michael. I was just kidding.
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:31 i agree - i would vote for a CD but doesn't have to be this time around.
	12:32pm Dano59: ↳ egould @12:32 mmm haven't heard this since Dr. Demento ca. 1985
	12:33pm DanFA: ↳ DanFA @12:32 I would never call for any WFMU DJs or anyone else for that matter to be cancelled.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:32 i am as god made me, sir!
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:32 Honestly, a parking space seems like a real win in that equation! Yeah, I never did find a way to like that show.
	12:33pm Listener Baby: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:32 Funny!
	12:33pm McGroovey: ↳ ghost @12:26 Yeah,... My youngest noticed during the obligatory don't-do-drugs conversations that I was remaining silent, and my wife was doing all the talking...🥴
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:33 Though I can agree with Michael that it was "well written."
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:32 oh i agree - i hated that show when it was current. re-discovered later that it is actually pretty okay
	12:34pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:33 I am a product of 60's television.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ McGroovey @12:33 Heh. My drug talk from my dad was basically, "Try not to smoke too much pot -- all of my friends died of heroin overdoses." You could tell his heart was not in it.
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: ↳ ChrisB. @12:31 not bad!
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:34 as god made you.
	12:35pm Hughie Considine: "Friends" makes an appearance in The Handmaid's Tale, which I am just getting around to watching.
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Sympathy" by "Wanda Jackson" I first heard Wanda's "Funnel of Love" with the Meat Puppets cover. They are very different.
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:35 Bounced pretty hard off that show. Tried but just couldn't. Which is too bad -- the book seems like it could be good filmed. Maybe a movie would have worked better for me?
	12:37pm egould: Pens Michael.
	12:37pm Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 FoL is one of my favorites.
	12:37pm DanFA: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 Funnel of Love makes an appearance in the show Reservation Dogs. Great show.
	12:37pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:35 Oh, yeah, well, I did talk about how one of my high school friends, and two of his sons, died partly or totally from far drug use, but I felt safely non-hypocritical talkinh about that, because I didn't do the hard stuff, myself.
	12:38pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Gimme Some" by "Dorondo" So great now directs the band while singing this. This is take 1.5
	12:38pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:31 I wish - just not how it works... I cant quite afford shirts (Im not Paul anka - news.pollstar.com...)
	12:38pm gf2002: Giant-sized, obnoxious WFMU coffee mugs, in tribute to Friends
	12:38pm wenzo: I came across Dorondo on someone’s dating profile who swiped/“matched” with me and then never responded to my messages. I’m not mad about it 😂
	12:38pm clarke: i thought you were paul anka.
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: ↳ DanFA @12:32 ME TOO!
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ McGroovey @12:37 My dad had also separately told me how he was admitted to a Trotskyite cell in LA because he would bring pot to all the meetings -- and then kicked out because he kept bringing pot to all the meetings. But it's true that a lot his friends died from heroin. Billie Holiday being perhaps the most notable example.
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:37 It's a very film-able book -- so much to it that it makes sense that it could be expanded over five seasons. But it could have been a great film as well. I agree - it's just brutal.
	12:40pm DanFA: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:39 Oh thank god. I really thought you were mad.
	12:41pm Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:38 Kick start account to help out. I got a 10-er for another MS shirt. Was my pajama shirt for about 20 years.
	12:41pm egould: Marshall Crenshaw and Smithereens is peanut butter and jelly.
	12:42pm Hughie Considine: ↳ DanFA @12:37 Miniseries these days have amazing soundtracks.
	12:42pm Handy Haversack: Premium idea: Michael Shelley #1 Recipes Book
	12:42pm DanFA: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:42 It was a full series. 3 seasons I think.
	12:43pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:42 Man, food really always does come up on the chats for every show.
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:42 would think books are more costly than tshirts.?
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:43 Mark Hurst did a printed book a few years back -- he might have a line on a cheap methodology.
	12:44pm drr: ↳ DanFA @12:37 It took me a few episodes to catch on with Reservation Dogs but then, you're right, it's great.
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: ↳ DanFA @12:42 Series of various sizes then.
	12:44pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Green Tambourine" by "Newbury Park" I kinda like this better than the actual hit. They kinda funk this up a little.
	12:44pm egould: Michael Shelley’s #1 hit trading cards. You’d be surprised how much I would pledge for that. Hell, I’d be surprised.
	12:44pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Green Tambourine" by "Newbury Park" I have it my head that is is Jim Gordon on this. I just knows it.
	12:44pm clarke: he's not paul anka (as we JUST found out)!!!
	12:45pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:44 Paul Anka lived in Tenafly, on the East Hill, the fancy part, natch.
	12:45pm luka: ↳ egould @12:44 we should have a march madness tournament to determine the ultimate #1 during the marathon no wait this is actually brilliant?
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ drr @12:44 So great. Maybe the best TV of the past decade?
	12:46pm luka: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:45 that show did rip
	12:46pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Green Tambourine" by "Newbury Park" Harmonizing aplenty.
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ luka @12:45 Bracket you so hard!
	12:46pm drr: @clarke, as long as we're talking about the extinct genre of "rock and roll" on here. Stacks are playing "rock and roll" at Pirogue's again tonight.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:45 natch! not montclair!
	12:46pm common: ↳ drr @12:44 love that show
	12:46pm egould: ↳ Squints @12:44 Yeah. And take out the overt “psychedelic” sound effects.
	12:46pm DG: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:29 From what I've heard from her, and read in interviews, Lisa was a serious student (may have planned to go into medicine like her dad) but her bropther was good friends with Jon Lovitz, who encouraged her to try acting/comedy. She was in the Groundlings, like many future SNL stars, but actually failed her audition for the show. She's more versatile than "Frienlds" would suggest---check out the amazing tragedy/comedy "The Comeback."
	12:46pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:45 Definitely in the top 10.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 in chalmette, right??
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: If you dont make a cd - the station will pay uo to $2 for your swag - and DJs pay anything over that - so the coasters (for instance) cost just over that - so I need an idea in the just over $2 range...
	12:48pm drr: ↳ egould @12:46 ...you mean the "play -lay -lay -lay -lay" that we spent so much time imitating after playing our Ronco Looney Tunes albums?? I thought that was the point.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:47 stick wit da coasters!
	12:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:47 Michael Shelley Show Two-Dollar Bills!
	12:48pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Hippie from Mississippi" by "Rusty Adams" Do we believe this guy is a hippie?
	12:49pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Hippie from Mississippi" by "Rusty Adams" 2 diff. anti-hippie songs by this name. Think there was a collection of this proto-MAGA trolling on the FMU blog ... 'Robert Sheldon'? Not Gilbert Shelton?
	12:49pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @12:48 $2.33 bills.
	12:49pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:46 Arabi, Chalmette, whatevs. Right past Jackson Barracks.
	12:49pm Listener Baby: Whoa!, Downward facing key change. Put a mark on that!
	12:49pm Hughie Considine: ↳ DG @12:46 All true - I knew her as the quiet studious housemates of some gregarious girls. I just think it's amazing that she had this gift in her, and it didn't really find expression until she was out of college. Most people know they want to be a performer on some level.
	12:49pm Montmaster J: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:47 #1 Hit Keychains with Logo?
	12:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: 45 RPM record spindles, in the form of a $2 Michael Shelley coin.
	12:50pm luka: ↳ Listener Baby @12:48 #1 hit pogs and slammers
	12:50pm DanFA: Might be Tubi
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @12:50 or perhaps a nostril-hair trimmer?
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: I think Michael Shelley Show #1 Hits foam fingers could be a smash -- how expensive could those be?
	12:51pm DG: There were a few soundtrack albums for "Friends," the first one has an exclusive Lou Reed song, of all things.
	12:52pm egould: Do pens. But do those cool pens with four colors. You’ll probably have to do about 4,000 to get to your price point. www.pens.com...
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Chief's Drive To Mayor" by "Qunicy Jones" the titles like this were probably retro-named by the music director
	12:52pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Chief's Drive To Mayor" by "Qunicy Jones" Very western-y
	12:52pm Dano59: Michael Shelley Chia Head®
	12:52pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:50 Hahaha!
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:52 i'm saying quincy probably submitted the songs with Theme #1 and so forth.
	12:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: #1 Hits coffee cake forks!
	12:53pm drr: Doesn't In The Heat Of The Night feature "Foul Owl"? Or is that some other moody dark Southern drama?
	12:54pm ?: There was another knock off called “Turkey from New Jersey
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:52 esp when one compares to In Cold Blood
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:50 frinkiac.com...
	12:54pm Hubig Pie: ↳ DanFA @12:50 Tubi is great. You can watch the original silent French film The Fall of the House of Usher and then follow that up with Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast.
	12:55pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Good Guys And Bad Guys" by "Camper Van Beethoven" Wished I’d seen this band. Didn’t like them at the time.
	12:55pm DanFA: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:54 That's quite the double feature.
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:55 they were really good live!
	12:56pm A. G.: Oh, we hear it here in Russia, and we understand!
	12:56pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:54 Hubig, I toasted you last night with a martini. Which I was having and was a little peckish, and K8 wasn't home yet, and I thought to myself, "Well, Hubig would recommend salty snacks -- and we DO have Fritos."
	12:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! GREAT interview, really one of the finest. And another great show.
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ drr @12:53 You are correct! It plays on the jukebox during a scene in a diner
	12:56pm DG: I think this track is "Good Guys & Bad Guys." (one of the few CVB songs I know)
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:56 could you enjoy chili-cheese fritos?
	12:57pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @12:55 I’ll bet
	12:57pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:56 They're my only weakness.
	12:57pm ?: “I’m proud to be a turkey from New Jersey. A place where even squares can have a ball…..and Jack Daniels is still the biggest thrill of all. “
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ DG @12:56 you are correct, sir!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:57 I like the purity of regular Fritos. Three ingredients: corn, corn oil, and salt.
	12:57pm John L: Justwatch is a bit more accurate on movie searches than Roku. Sometimes they don't have everything on Kanopy and Hoopla linked.
	12:57pm DanFA: Great show, Michael.
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:57 gotcha
	12:58pm Pedro in Arlington: Stream without ads with Kanopy and hoopla, both through public libraries. But sadly so many great films are only available by paying rental fee to the big boys Mark Hurst warns us about.
	12:58pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:57 Original skinny size please.
	12:58pm egould: Thanks Michael. Thanks Andrew. Thanks silly internet people. Let’s do it again next week.
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:58 hmm.. the original size was huge ones
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: Though we do have extra Fritos right now because K8 made a big chili last week and we're down to the last phase: Frito pie!
	12:59pm DanFA: ↳ John L @12:57 Great resource
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Legacy" by "Mike Tyson" no, i won!
	12:59pm luka: omg this Tyson quote is harrowing
	1:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:57 T-Joes corn chips amazing and half the price
	1:00pm Hughie Considine: Dropping some science for the kids...
	1:00pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:59 noice!
	1:00pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:56 Lyrics by Alan and Marilyn ("Windmills Of Your Mind") Bergman!
	1:00pm luka: “that is something i have not heard before” lord jesus
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Baby @1:00 No TJ within walking distance here. Never actually been inside one!
	1:00pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Legacy" by "Mike Tyson" All we are is dust in the wind.
	1:00pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been frit-ed!! good nite.
	1:00pm luka: exceptional program, peace all
	1:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:00 What?…
	1:00pm drr: ↳ luka @1:00 great response!
	1:01pm drr: awesome show bye
