	11:17am Hughie Considine: The Marry Me Chicken is all about the creamy sauce. It's tomato-y, but very savory, not acidic. Definitely worth a second date.

	11:17am Scott from Boston: I always hope that show offs on trampoline break their leg

	11:19am Rick A: ↳ Song: "Trampoline" by "Damien Jurado" Good Morning Michael and all, This song was a major hit on the old Greasy Kids Stuff show. In fact, I would be listening to it that show at this time in my old East Village apartment right about now. I think it was on 10-12. You evoke those memories with that song, Michael, thank you.
	11:19am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Trampoline" by "Damien Jurado" nice fun summery song

	11:22am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Nancy's Minuet (Version 3 take 1)" by "Everly Bro... Moe Tucker on drums
	11:22am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Nancy's Minuet (Version 3 take 1)" by "Everly Bro... The drums. I wonder if Glen Campbell on there
	11:23am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:22 not just breakers, sadly.
	11:23am egould: ↳ Song: "Nancy's Minuet (Version 3 take 1)" by "Everly Bro... 1963. The Everly’s hadn’t heard the Beatles yet.
	11:23am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:21 There are safer bounce-y alternatives these days -- with safety netting and such so you don't go flying off into the ether.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ egould @11:23 yes they had
	11:24am PatrickMC: ↳ egould @11:23 But The Beatles had heard them
	11:24am clarke: ↳ egould @11:23 everly's were on a package tour with beatles at the bottom of the rung, in 62
	11:24am Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @11:18 that's what it's called! (aka I Can't Help Myself) ... love the NRBQ version that I can't find online
	11:25am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Shampoo" by "Izaak Opatz" This dude deserves better
	11:26am egould: ↳ clarke @11:24 I stand corrected. And I am actually standing.
	11:26am greg g: I have a neighbor ( won’t name names) who I volunteered to help set up his trampoline for his kids one Saturday. Afterwards he mentioned if my kids were interested in going on the trampoline he would look into creating a legal document we could all sign. Never heard about the document but I believe my older son jumped on the trampoline for about 30 seconds when he was retrieving a ball or something that went over the fence.
	11:26am Handy Haversack: Hey now! Michael and all the Shellegamers!
	11:26am clarke: ↳ egould @11:26 little richard on same package
	11:27am clarke: ↳ greg g @11:26 i don't think ya'll wanna hear hoboken jack's story.
	11:28am egould: ↳ clarke @11:26 Now you’re just showing off.
	11:28am Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:26 Heard you on 7sec delay!
	11:29am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:29 there he is - just in from toledo - movin' some rope.
	11:31am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "C'est Si Bon" by "Eartha Kitt" I worked for an agent at ICM who briefly rep'd Eartha Kitt so we'd get mail. One young high school student asked if Eartha would send her something from her waistbasket that best represented her. This was for a social studies project.
	11:31am clarke: c'est bon!
	11:31am egould: Edith Piaf ending!
	11:32am Dano59: Eartha Kitt forever. My mom thought she did the best 'Santa Baby'
	11:32am clarke: [chef's kiss]
	11:33am gf2002: Reminds me of Mad Men. Next up, Zou Bisou Bisou?
	11:34am clarke: postcards are VERY cool!
	11:34am Hughie Considine: Who could pass on a passel of postcards?
	11:35am clarke: a dyin; art, postcards
	11:35am George Kopp: Thanks for the lovely shout-out, Michael!
	11:35am egould: That sounds like a great premium. Where do I sign up?
	11:35am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:29 Was running Christmas and anniversary errands. Did swing by Toledo on the way home. Son of a gun. Who knew?
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:35 i still ain't made my mind up.
	11:36am greg g: ↳ clarke @11:27 Hey clarke , i think i would.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ greg g @11:36 sadly, jack lost both of his feet in a trampoline accident.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:28 Reliving my fleeting glory ...
	11:38am gf2002: ↳ Michael Shelley @10:42 And that guy with the Ovation...was the legendary Glen Campbell. Now you know...the rest of the story. -Paul Harvey
	11:38am egould: Alcohol makes anything tolerable.
	11:38am onthetrain: mike what mall did you go to ?
	11:38am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:38 or ray davies
	11:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @11:38 Pretty much, yup.
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: Hey all!
	11:39am Dano59: How many guitar players does it take to screw in a light bulb? -- one to screw in the bulb and 500 more to say. 'i can do that'
	11:39am egould: ↳ gf2002 @11:38 Hahaha!
	11:39am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:39 hey there, kid!
	11:39am Hughie Considine: There are probably some jokes about the Line-6 amp.
	11:39am Lizardner Dave !: Norfolk CT is beautiful but remote. I used to know folks up there and there wasn't even any mobile phone reception, had to actually use pay phones! (And this was circa 2009).
	11:39am greg g: ↳ clarke @11:37 Really??
	11:39am LD: ↳ Song: "Power Cut (One Hand Clapping)" by "Paul McCartney" Wiki...Reginald Herbert Dixon, MBE, ARCM (16 October 1904 – 9 May 1985) was an English theatre organist who was primarily known for his position as organist at the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool, a position he held from March 1930 until March 1970.
	11:39am Michael Shelley: ↳ Dano59 @11:39 lol
	11:40am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:39 I have the original Line 6 combo amp! I have used it live and in studio for years, it's actually really good. I wish I had some jokes about it haha
	11:40am clarke: ↳ greg g @11:39 yes, sadly, true.
	11:41am futurescamp: Sounds like we should hear Margaritas at the Mall by Purple Mountains
	11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: Girlfriend dropped off Mexican pastries while she was running an errand. I didn't have to leave the house (well, until we have to go to her family Christmas deal).
	11:41am gf2002: What's the difference between a coffin and an upright bass player? ...The coffin has the dead guy on the inside
	11:42am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:41 ihis could be love!
	11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:42 Yes, yes it is
	11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:40 I own one! i play way too infrequently and wanted to have some effects, and I'm fine with it -- I just know it's like the AOL of amps at this point.
	11:43am greg g: ↳ clarke @11:40 Oh man, that is terribly sad.
	11:43am gf2002: What's the difference between a rattlesnake getting run over on a desert highway and a trombone player getting run over on a desert highway? ...The snake was on his way to a gig.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 i use a line 6 interface that i LOVE!
	11:43am egould: The wife and I always enjoyed the Adios MF’s at Claim Jumpers at South Coast Plaza. Made mall shopping much better.
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: I have a little Line 6 practice amp. It's good for that!
	11:43am clarke: ↳ greg g @11:43 he's overcome the blow - learned to take it well.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:43 nice one
	11:45am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Love At First Sight" by "Gosdin Brothers, The" That's an 11
	11:45am Hughie Considine: Bruno Walter’s admonition to the trombones before they had played a note: “Already too loud!”
	11:45am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 The difference with the original Line 6 combos were that they were very simple to use, and if you knew what amps it was modeling and how they reacted, you could come damn close to the sound of the original, especially the 60's Fenders. And I also set up my footswitch to do a Leslie fast/slow effect, and it worked great on gigs. The fact is has an actual speaker made it great for recording, better than the Pod which I never got into.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 i can highly recommend the podfarm interface, tho.
	11:47am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Nobody's Love Is Like Mine" by "Stanley Brothers,... As you well know, Baby. My boy named for Carter Stanley.
	11:47am clarke: 6/10
	11:48am gf2002: I think it was Weezer who did a tour back in the day with nothing but Line 6 Pods for their guitars. Or maybe just a few shows, I don't remember
	11:48am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 Interesting that you got so much out of it, and sort of sad how the negative hype has given the Line-6 a sort of infamy. People love to pile on.
	11:49am Steve Del Sol: The Smoldering Coals
	11:49am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Robot In A Robot's World" by "Flaming Ember, The" The “S” is a bridge too far.
	11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Robot In A Robot's World" by "Flaming Ember, The" At least no one lobbied to add an "M" to Ember.
	11:49am Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:48 yeah - gorgeous up there and great old and well restored venue
	11:50am drr: ↳ Song: "Robot In A Robot's World" by "Flaming Ember, The" Maybe they heard about the Carolina beach music stalwarts The Embers and they didn't want that smoke.
	11:50am Listener Baby: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:49 Damn. Why didn’t I think of that?
	11:50am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:48 I love that amp and it's still my go-to amp especially for playing shows which I don't do much anymore. I got it back in the day to replace a Fender piggyback Bandmaster head/cab which didn't react well to temperature changes and was harder to lug around. The Leslie effect was a cool hack they programmed into those things, but you need the footswitch to go fast to slow.
	11:50am Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:48 I have a VERY old line 6 thing - and I use it a lot - especially the auto Wah
	11:50am Handy Haversack: I saw They Might Be Giants last night -- first time since I think maybe '98? Fantastic show. Absolute geniuses. And I don't think I'd seen a euphonium played live since ... '98? Or maybe in a parade? Brass section was fantastic. They did basically a seven-minute tease of brass solos as an intro to "Istanbul," which I particularly enjoyed. I am not prepared to live in a world where there are people who don't like TMBG, I realized.
	11:52am Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 great band - and they always kill live - always! (who opened in '98?)
	11:52am Mark Hurst: "Robot in a Robot's World" - nice
	11:53am gf2002: I also have the Line 6 delay modeler which is permanently on my pedal board, that pedal is a monster and is really, really good AND useful. If you're covering "I'm Only Sleeping" it has a reverse delay that does a convincing backwards tape effect.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 haha, sounds like a great show. I know what you mean -- I had a girlfriend who turned her nose up at TMBG - she called it "guy music." Eventually she moved back to Texas
	11:53am luka: ↳ Song: "Bang!" by "Sails, The" that’s a no. 1
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:52 Oh, man, I don't even remember if there WAS an opener for that show. It was in Ann Arbor at the Michigan Theater -- lovely old venue. That was the fourth time I'd seen them and the third time I'd brought someone who didn't know them at all and left a total fan.
	11:54am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Bang!" by "Sails, The" Boy. The Twigs should hear this one.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:53 all our exes live in texas!!
	11:54am wally: Sounded like XTC. "ROCKET FROM A BOTTLE "
	11:54am drr: I turned on PBS after midnight (maybe they should call it that, PBS After Midnight) and saw the Violent Femmes on stage with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Drummer playing a Weber barbecue grill. It was not entertaining, however, and I didn't stay tuned in.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:54 K8 got to see them on the much delayed Flood tour last year -- got in for free through a music blog she was writing for, but I couldn't get in. Her first time seeing them, and she was floored. I was so sad not to be able to be with her for it!
	11:55am Hughie Considine: haha ... she had a lovely twang, that much is true.
	11:55am gf2002: How do you get a guitar player to turn down his volume on a gig? Put sheet music in front of him.
	11:56am clarke: ↳ drr @11:54 i saw some of that - there was one decent thing at the end
	11:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:54 Her review: fulltimeaesthetic.com... Gonna start making brunch. Ears on!
	11:56am onthetrain: @drr i use to watch late night pbs at my job 20+ years ago . it was always amazing .
	11:56am luka: ↳ Song: "Devil's Touch" by "Soulful Dynamics" quite the opening lyric
	11:56am clarke: ↳ drr @11:54 the one song that was interesting was Good Feeling.
	11:56am DG: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:53 I love TMBG (while admitting sometimes their "weird for the sake of it" schtick is sometimes a bit much) but anyone who says that clearly doesn't know their work....too bad she never heard Kristen Chenoweth's cover of "Birdhouse in Your Soul".
	11:57am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Devil's Touch" by "Soulful Dynamics" Got to say. You dealing today, Baby.
	11:58am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:54 good idea
	11:58am DG: ↳ drr @11:54 I saw that listed on our programming grid & couldn't believe it ---the Femmes on PBS?! (it's rare to see any band/artist from the last couple of decades on there). Not a VF fan but thought I'd tune in since it sounded so weird.
	11:59am Hughie Considine: totally! And I have actually never heard that cover, which I will rectify after this fine show. Iconic tune, iconic performance on live TV. Thanks for that!
	12:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:54 Saw that same tour. I hadn't planned to, but I'm glad I did. It was great.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:59 did you happen to catch elton john on nightline the other night? short but good interview.
	12:00pm jg: When Carl is reaching- that’s what I love about him singing. You’re exactly right Michael
	12:01pm drr: ike "De-Lyall".
	12:01pm P-90: That name is pronounced de-LILE
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: As in "queen of the aisle"
	12:02pm G in Rome: isle
	12:02pm Andres: Good morning, Michael and all. Caffeinated. Could use another.
	12:02pm clarke: vile!
	12:02pm P-90: It’s French, the s is completely silent
	12:02pm G in Rome: I'll
	12:02pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:02 Don't touch that dis-lee.
	12:02pm drr: De Lizzle.
	12:03pm DG: The first time I saw TMBG it was just John & John and tapes, but did see them w/a band a few times after that (inc. Central Park, where the Moldy Peaches were an opening act. Lots of families there, which apparently the profane Peaches didn't take into account, given some of their lyrics). Haven't seen them in 20 years or so, I assume they have a really experienced, tight band now
	12:03pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Like The Way You Think" by "Grey DeLisle" Done at Deke’s house. He’s doing amazing work.
	12:03pm drr: Deli aisle.
	12:03pm Andres: De Leel, French pronunciation.
	12:03pm egould: ↳ Song: "I Like The Way You Think" by "Grey DeLisle" Charming.
	12:04pm gf2002: Was the Carl Wilson vocal a track from the Wild Honey album? He had several leads on that where he was going for a Stevie Wonder kind of soul sound, and he's straining to belt some of those high notes Stevie used to hit effortlessly. "Wild Honey", "Darlin", Stevie's "I Was Made To Love Her", etc.
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: The "s" is silent like the "p" in bed.
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:03 now, we're talkin'!
	12:04pm onthetrain: wait i could have sworn you said martin prince was singing
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: "In 2024, Robert William (aka Big Sandy) both covered the song Kiss the Girl and provided the voice of Romeo McGrowl (originally named Liver Lips McGrowl in the original Country Bear show) in the re-vamped Country Bear Musical Jamboree at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom."
	12:05pm Andres: Now do Coeur d'Alene.
	12:05pm Michael Shelley: ↳ onthetrain @12:04 the singer is also the voice of Martin prince
	12:08pm common: ↳ Song: "Incidental Music" by "Partridge Family, The" fantastic!
	12:08pm P-90: Yes! That cue sounds “as much like The Partridge Family as anything”
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Magnificent Seven" by "Jack Nitzsche" pretty sure earl palmer on drums
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Incidental Music" by "Partridge Family, The" Been reading a lot about the Partridge Family in the Redd Kross book by Dan Epstein.
	12:09pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "The Magnificent Seven" by "Jack Nitzsche" No not half bad versions
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: ↳ PatrickMC @12:09 so true
	12:10pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Incidental Music" by "Partridge Family, The" Nice! Speaking of Ovation guitars, the Partridge Family was seen playing all Fender guitars in season 1, then later the show had a deal with Ovation, and all the guitars afterward on that show were Ovation. Keith/David used to play a Breadwinner electric, which I always hoped to find at a pawn shop. Partridges and Glen Campbell were the big Ovation TV endorsements in the early years
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: ↳ DG @12:03 Super tight! Guitar and horns especially great.
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Come And Get Your Love" by "Ray Mason Band, The" RAY!!!!
	12:11pm Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @12:04 omg - on Wild Honey - it's just SO HIGH - he's straining like crazy - and it's SO exciting
	12:11pm drr: Ric Ocasek seen with an Ovation electric here and there, IIRC.
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:10 Colin Newman of Wire played a Breadwinner, onstage at least.
	12:13pm Fishman: Great song...
	12:13pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Come And Get Your Love" by "Ray Mason Band, The" woo hoo! Hi Michael, hi All!
	12:14pm P-90: fine but I miss the more in-your-face electric sitar in the Redbone version
	12:14pm egould: Cowbell is strong.
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Come And Get Your Love" by "Ray Mason Band, The" Don't think i ever made out the line "Get it from the main vine" until just now.
	12:14pm drr: ↳ Song: "Come And Get Your Love" by "Ray Mason Band, The" Love the dreamy ending!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Friends Of Mine" by "Zombies, The" yes. so yes!
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:54 spoiler - I was the opener...
	12:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: I wondered if that might be the case.
	12:16pm clarke: spoiler.
	12:17pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Song: "Old Joe Clark" by "Speedy West And Jimmy Bryant" play guitar much?
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Old Joe Clark" by "Speedy West And Jimmy Bryant" whoah. yer pullin' out the classics!
	12:18pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Old Joe Clark" by "Speedy West And Jimmy Bryant" Among the finest guitar music ever recorded. Speedy and Jimmy were incredible.
	12:18pm greg g: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:15 Whoa... mind blown
	12:18pm great show as always: But you werent really fair to the Partridge Family.
	12:19pm Michael Shelley: ↳ great show as always @12:18 explain!
	12:20pm Rocker98: Who was the artist on "Come and Get Your Love?" That didn't sound like Redbone.
	12:20pm PatrickMC: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:19 No David Cassidy fer starters!
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Rocker98 @12:20 Ray Mason a stalwart of the northampton rock scene!
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:15 OH MY LORD! That is blowing my mind!
	12:21pm Rocker98: Is Ray Mason related to Dave?
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Rocker98 @12:21 no sir, he is NOT.
	12:21pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Who Got My Natural Comb" by "Ted Hawkins" I love Ted Hawkins and "Happy Hour"--the song and album by him is so great.

	11:17am Christina Ginger: My neighbor had a small one- a rebounder type. So fun! a I didn’t go on one of the g Crazy big ones until a choir trip in high school.
	11:17am Hughie Considine: The Marry Me Chicken is all about the creamy sauce. It's tomato-y, but very savory, not acidic. Definitely worth a second date.
	11:17am clarke: good thing jack's not here - yet.
	11:17am Scott from Boston: I always hope that show offs on trampoline break their leg
	11:17am Christina Ginger: Also, the parachute was one of the best gym class activities.
	11:17am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:09 Yeah, there are other song besides "Sugar Shack"
	11:17am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Trampoline" by "Damien Jurado" Baby. Are you hopping mad about that?
	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:17 And Sugar Pie Honey Bunch. Whatever that one is called?
	11:18am egould: ‘Trampoline’ by EZTV is also a #1 hit.
	11:18am melinda: I had one friend with a trampoline and took gymnastics classes where they had some sunken floor-level tramps, which were fun.
	11:19am Rick A: ↳ Song: "Trampoline" by "Damien Jurado" Good Morning Michael and all, This song was a major hit on the old Greasy Kids Stuff show. In fact, I would be listening to it that show at this time in my old East Village apartment right about now. I think it was on 10-12. You evoke those memories with that song, Michael, thank you.
	11:19am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Trampoline" by "Damien Jurado" nice fun summery song
	11:21am clarke: trampolines are freakin' dangerous.

	11:25am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Shampoo" by "Izaak Opatz" This dude deserves better
	11:26am egould: ↳ clarke @11:24 I stand corrected. And I am actually standing.
	11:26am greg g: I have a neighbor ( won’t name names) who I volunteered to help set up his trampoline for his kids one Saturday. Afterwards he mentioned if my kids were interested in going on the trampoline he would look into creating a legal document we could all sign. Never heard about the document but I believe my older son jumped on the trampoline for about 30 seconds when he was retrieving a ball or something that went over the fence.
	11:26am Handy Haversack: Hey now! Michael and all the Shellegamers!
	11:26am clarke: ↳ egould @11:26 little richard on same package

	11:31am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "C'est Si Bon" by "Eartha Kitt" I worked for an agent at ICM who briefly rep'd Eartha Kitt so we'd get mail. One young high school student asked if Eartha would send her something from her waistbasket that best represented her. This was for a social studies project.
	11:31am clarke: c'est bon!
	11:31am egould: Edith Piaf ending!
	11:32am Dano59: Eartha Kitt forever. My mom thought she did the best 'Santa Baby'

	11:35am egould: That sounds like a great premium. Where do I sign up?
	11:35am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:29 Was running Christmas and anniversary errands. Did swing by Toledo on the way home. Son of a gun. Who knew?

	11:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @11:38 Pretty much, yup.
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: Hey all!
	11:39am Dano59: How many guitar players does it take to screw in a light bulb? -- one to screw in the bulb and 500 more to say. 'i can do that'
	11:39am egould: ↳ gf2002 @11:38 Hahaha!
	11:39am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:39 hey there, kid!
	11:39am Hughie Considine: There are probably some jokes about the Line-6 amp.
	11:39am Lizardner Dave !: Norfolk CT is beautiful but remote. I used to know folks up there and there wasn't even any mobile phone reception, had to actually use pay phones! (And this was circa 2009).
	11:39am greg g: ↳ clarke @11:37 Really??
	11:39am LD: ↳ Song: "Power Cut (One Hand Clapping)" by "Paul McCartney" Wiki...Reginald Herbert Dixon, MBE, ARCM (16 October 1904 – 9 May 1985) was an English theatre organist who was primarily known for his position as organist at the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool, a position he held from March 1930 until March 1970.
	11:39am Michael Shelley: ↳ Dano59 @11:39 lol
	11:40am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:39 I have the original Line 6 combo amp! I have used it live and in studio for years, it's actually really good. I wish I had some jokes about it haha
	11:40am clarke: ↳ greg g @11:39 yes, sadly, true.
	11:41am futurescamp: Sounds like we should hear Margaritas at the Mall by Purple Mountains
	11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: Girlfriend dropped off Mexican pastries while she was running an errand. I didn't have to leave the house (well, until we have to go to her family Christmas deal).
	11:41am gf2002: What's the difference between a coffin and an upright bass player? ...The coffin has the dead guy on the inside
	11:42am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:41 ihis could be love!
	11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:42 Yes, yes it is
	11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:40 I own one! i play way too infrequently and wanted to have some effects, and I'm fine with it -- I just know it's like the AOL of amps at this point.
	11:43am greg g: ↳ clarke @11:40 Oh man, that is terribly sad.
	11:43am gf2002: What's the difference between a rattlesnake getting run over on a desert highway and a trombone player getting run over on a desert highway? ...The snake was on his way to a gig.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 i use a line 6 interface that i LOVE!
	11:43am egould: The wife and I always enjoyed the Adios MF’s at Claim Jumpers at South Coast Plaza. Made mall shopping much better.
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: I have a little Line 6 practice amp. It's good for that!
	11:43am clarke: ↳ greg g @11:43 he's overcome the blow - learned to take it well.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:43 nice one
	11:45am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Love At First Sight" by "Gosdin Brothers, The" That's an 11
	11:45am Hughie Considine: Bruno Walter’s admonition to the trombones before they had played a note: “Already too loud!”
	11:45am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 The difference with the original Line 6 combos were that they were very simple to use, and if you knew what amps it was modeling and how they reacted, you could come damn close to the sound of the original, especially the 60's Fenders. And I also set up my footswitch to do a Leslie fast/slow effect, and it worked great on gigs. The fact is has an actual speaker made it great for recording, better than the Pod which I never got into.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 i can highly recommend the podfarm interface, tho.
	11:47am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Nobody's Love Is Like Mine" by "Stanley Brothers,... As you well know, Baby. My boy named for Carter Stanley.
	11:47am clarke: 6/10
	11:48am gf2002: I think it was Weezer who did a tour back in the day with nothing but Line 6 Pods for their guitars. Or maybe just a few shows, I don't remember
	11:48am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 Interesting that you got so much out of it, and sort of sad how the negative hype has given the Line-6 a sort of infamy. People love to pile on.
	11:49am Steve Del Sol: The Smoldering Coals
	11:49am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Robot In A Robot's World" by "Flaming Ember, The" The “S” is a bridge too far.
	11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Robot In A Robot's World" by "Flaming Ember, The" At least no one lobbied to add an "M" to Ember.
	11:49am Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:48 yeah - gorgeous up there and great old and well restored venue
	11:50am drr: ↳ Song: "Robot In A Robot's World" by "Flaming Ember, The" Maybe they heard about the Carolina beach music stalwarts The Embers and they didn't want that smoke.
	11:50am Listener Baby: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:49 Damn. Why didn’t I think of that?
	11:50am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:48 I love that amp and it's still my go-to amp especially for playing shows which I don't do much anymore. I got it back in the day to replace a Fender piggyback Bandmaster head/cab which didn't react well to temperature changes and was harder to lug around. The Leslie effect was a cool hack they programmed into those things, but you need the footswitch to go fast to slow.
	11:50am Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:48 I have a VERY old line 6 thing - and I use it a lot - especially the auto Wah
	11:50am Handy Haversack: I saw They Might Be Giants last night -- first time since I think maybe '98? Fantastic show. Absolute geniuses. And I don't think I'd seen a euphonium played live since ... '98? Or maybe in a parade? Brass section was fantastic. They did basically a seven-minute tease of brass solos as an intro to "Istanbul," which I particularly enjoyed. I am not prepared to live in a world where there are people who don't like TMBG, I realized.
	11:52am Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 great band - and they always kill live - always! (who opened in '98?)
	11:52am Mark Hurst: "Robot in a Robot's World" - nice
	11:53am gf2002: I also have the Line 6 delay modeler which is permanently on my pedal board, that pedal is a monster and is really, really good AND useful. If you're covering "I'm Only Sleeping" it has a reverse delay that does a convincing backwards tape effect.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 haha, sounds like a great show. I know what you mean -- I had a girlfriend who turned her nose up at TMBG - she called it "guy music." Eventually she moved back to Texas
	11:53am luka: ↳ Song: "Bang!" by "Sails, The" that’s a no. 1
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:52 Oh, man, I don't even remember if there WAS an opener for that show. It was in Ann Arbor at the Michigan Theater -- lovely old venue. That was the fourth time I'd seen them and the third time I'd brought someone who didn't know them at all and left a total fan.
	11:54am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Bang!" by "Sails, The" Boy. The Twigs should hear this one.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:53 all our exes live in texas!!
	11:54am wally: Sounded like XTC. "ROCKET FROM A BOTTLE "
	11:54am drr: I turned on PBS after midnight (maybe they should call it that, PBS After Midnight) and saw the Violent Femmes on stage with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Drummer playing a Weber barbecue grill. It was not entertaining, however, and I didn't stay tuned in.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:54 K8 got to see them on the much delayed Flood tour last year -- got in for free through a music blog she was writing for, but I couldn't get in. Her first time seeing them, and she was floored. I was so sad not to be able to be with her for it!
	11:55am Hughie Considine: haha ... she had a lovely twang, that much is true.
	11:55am gf2002: How do you get a guitar player to turn down his volume on a gig? Put sheet music in front of him.
	11:56am clarke: ↳ drr @11:54 i saw some of that - there was one decent thing at the end
	11:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:54 Her review: fulltimeaesthetic.com... Gonna start making brunch. Ears on!
	11:56am onthetrain: @drr i use to watch late night pbs at my job 20+ years ago . it was always amazing .
	11:56am luka: ↳ Song: "Devil's Touch" by "Soulful Dynamics" quite the opening lyric
	11:56am clarke: ↳ drr @11:54 the one song that was interesting was Good Feeling.
	11:56am DG: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:53 I love TMBG (while admitting sometimes their "weird for the sake of it" schtick is sometimes a bit much) but anyone who says that clearly doesn't know their work....too bad she never heard Kristen Chenoweth's cover of "Birdhouse in Your Soul".
	11:57am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Devil's Touch" by "Soulful Dynamics" Got to say. You dealing today, Baby.
	11:58am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:54 good idea
	11:58am DG: ↳ drr @11:54 I saw that listed on our programming grid & couldn't believe it ---the Femmes on PBS?! (it's rare to see any band/artist from the last couple of decades on there). Not a VF fan but thought I'd tune in since it sounded so weird.
	11:59am Hughie Considine: totally! And I have actually never heard that cover, which I will rectify after this fine show. Iconic tune, iconic performance on live TV. Thanks for that!
	12:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:54 Saw that same tour. I hadn't planned to, but I'm glad I did. It was great.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:59 did you happen to catch elton john on nightline the other night? short but good interview.
	12:00pm jg: When Carl is reaching- that’s what I love about him singing. You’re exactly right Michael
	12:01pm drr: ike "De-Lyall".
	12:01pm P-90: That name is pronounced de-LILE
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: As in "queen of the aisle"
	12:02pm G in Rome: isle
	12:02pm Andres: Good morning, Michael and all. Caffeinated. Could use another.
	12:02pm clarke: vile!
	12:02pm P-90: It’s French, the s is completely silent
	12:02pm G in Rome: I'll
	12:02pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:02 Don't touch that dis-lee.
	12:02pm drr: De Lizzle.
	12:03pm DG: The first time I saw TMBG it was just John & John and tapes, but did see them w/a band a few times after that (inc. Central Park, where the Moldy Peaches were an opening act. Lots of families there, which apparently the profane Peaches didn't take into account, given some of their lyrics). Haven't seen them in 20 years or so, I assume they have a really experienced, tight band now
	12:03pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Like The Way You Think" by "Grey DeLisle" Done at Deke’s house. He’s doing amazing work.
	12:03pm drr: Deli aisle.
	12:03pm Andres: De Leel, French pronunciation.
	12:03pm egould: ↳ Song: "I Like The Way You Think" by "Grey DeLisle" Charming.
	12:04pm gf2002: Was the Carl Wilson vocal a track from the Wild Honey album? He had several leads on that where he was going for a Stevie Wonder kind of soul sound, and he's straining to belt some of those high notes Stevie used to hit effortlessly. "Wild Honey", "Darlin", Stevie's "I Was Made To Love Her", etc.
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: The "s" is silent like the "p" in bed.
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:03 now, we're talkin'!
	12:04pm onthetrain: wait i could have sworn you said martin prince was singing
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: "In 2024, Robert William (aka Big Sandy) both covered the song Kiss the Girl and provided the voice of Romeo McGrowl (originally named Liver Lips McGrowl in the original Country Bear show) in the re-vamped Country Bear Musical Jamboree at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom."
	12:05pm Andres: Now do Coeur d'Alene.
	12:05pm Michael Shelley: ↳ onthetrain @12:04 the singer is also the voice of Martin prince
	12:08pm common: ↳ Song: "Incidental Music" by "Partridge Family, The" fantastic!
	12:08pm P-90: Yes! That cue sounds “as much like The Partridge Family as anything”
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Magnificent Seven" by "Jack Nitzsche" pretty sure earl palmer on drums
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Incidental Music" by "Partridge Family, The" Been reading a lot about the Partridge Family in the Redd Kross book by Dan Epstein.
	12:09pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "The Magnificent Seven" by "Jack Nitzsche" No not half bad versions
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: ↳ PatrickMC @12:09 so true
	12:10pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Incidental Music" by "Partridge Family, The" Nice! Speaking of Ovation guitars, the Partridge Family was seen playing all Fender guitars in season 1, then later the show had a deal with Ovation, and all the guitars afterward on that show were Ovation. Keith/David used to play a Breadwinner electric, which I always hoped to find at a pawn shop. Partridges and Glen Campbell were the big Ovation TV endorsements in the early years
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: ↳ DG @12:03 Super tight! Guitar and horns especially great.
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Come And Get Your Love" by "Ray Mason Band, The" RAY!!!!
	12:11pm Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @12:04 omg - on Wild Honey - it's just SO HIGH - he's straining like crazy - and it's SO exciting
	12:11pm drr: Ric Ocasek seen with an Ovation electric here and there, IIRC.
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:10 Colin Newman of Wire played a Breadwinner, onstage at least.
	12:13pm Fishman: Great song...
	12:13pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Come And Get Your Love" by "Ray Mason Band, The" woo hoo! Hi Michael, hi All!
	12:14pm P-90: fine but I miss the more in-your-face electric sitar in the Redbone version
	12:14pm egould: Cowbell is strong.
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Come And Get Your Love" by "Ray Mason Band, The" Don't think i ever made out the line "Get it from the main vine" until just now.
	12:14pm drr: ↳ Song: "Come And Get Your Love" by "Ray Mason Band, The" Love the dreamy ending!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Friends Of Mine" by "Zombies, The" yes. so yes!
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:54 spoiler - I was the opener...
	12:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: I wondered if that might be the case.
	12:16pm clarke: spoiler.
	12:17pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Song: "Old Joe Clark" by "Speedy West And Jimmy Bryant" play guitar much?
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Old Joe Clark" by "Speedy West And Jimmy Bryant" whoah. yer pullin' out the classics!
	12:18pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Old Joe Clark" by "Speedy West And Jimmy Bryant" Among the finest guitar music ever recorded. Speedy and Jimmy were incredible.
	12:18pm greg g: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:15 Whoa... mind blown
	12:18pm great show as always: But you werent really fair to the Partridge Family.
	12:19pm Michael Shelley: ↳ great show as always @12:18 explain!
	12:20pm Rocker98: Who was the artist on "Come and Get Your Love?" That didn't sound like Redbone.
	12:20pm PatrickMC: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:19 No David Cassidy fer starters!
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Rocker98 @12:20 Ray Mason a stalwart of the northampton rock scene!
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:15 OH MY LORD! That is blowing my mind!
	12:21pm Rocker98: Is Ray Mason related to Dave?
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Rocker98 @12:21 no sir, he is NOT.
	12:21pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Who Got My Natural Comb" by "Ted Hawkins" I love Ted Hawkins and "Happy Hour"--the song and album by him is so great.
	12:23pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:21 er, ARE so great @). I cans talk and rite
	12:24pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:21 yeah - sorry he didnt record more in that period (but I think he was locked up!)

	12:26pm clarke: sweet as the punch.
	12:26pm egould: ↳ Song: "Need You Round" by "Jay Gonzalez" Last time we saw Eyelids, they were throwing t-shirts to the crowd. My wife caught one. It wasn’t an Eyelids shirt; it was a Jay Gonzalez shirt. Those guys are wacky.
	12:29pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "That's Right, That's Me" by "Jimmy Campbell" Lost gem

	12:52pm DG: Got a Kippington collection from our library (they only mage singles, so I think it was all of those) & it was pretty '60s/pop--sounding, couldn't detect much of Lowe. Not sure if Lowe is on this track or not. Their song "Shy Boy" is also on that Teenage Opera collection I'm sure people here know about.

	12:56pm Andres: ↳ Squints @12:54 There was a Horsegirl/Dummy show local to me a year ago. I saw how young the bands were and got self conscious about being the weird old guy at the show. I’ll do better next time.
