	11:06am clarke: i hope you brought your heavy duty work-light, today.
	11:06am Scott from Boston: Kim Fowley is a total weirdo… And he’s also the king of the nighttime world
	♥ 11:07am egould: ↳ Song: "Up" by "Kim Fowley" Shitty Jim Morrison.
	♥ 11:07am MarciB: ↳ Moammar @11:06 That was awesome and not something I expected!
	11:08am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:03 are The Smokers still your neigbhors??
	♥ 11:08am listener phat in Lincoln: Good morning, all!
	11:08am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Up" by "Kim Fowley" This is ... quite bad.
	♥ 11:08am luca v: ↳ egould @11:07 this sounds like Rex trying to dial his echo in
	11:08am Listener Baby: ↳ egould @11:07 Indeed. And some would say Morrison was shitty.
	♥ 11:08am Frank In Queens: ↳ Moammar @11:06 I missed it, but quite happy it occurred.
	♥ 11:08am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Up" by "Kim Fowley" It's avant garde!
	♥ 11:08am drr: Met Kim Fowley once. People warned me "he's creepy". They were correct. That's my story.
	11:08am Elaine: Thanks for the Kim Fowley! Happy Poetry Month, everybody!
	♥ 11:08am Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Baby @11:08 Indeed.
	11:09am clarke: yes, i met kim fowley and it was not a good experience, at ALL.
	♥ 11:09am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:08 Do bears still shit in the woods?
	11:09am clarke: ↳ drr @11:08 was it at the Mermaid?
	11:09am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:09 they will die soon.
	11:10am Scott from Boston: Drr… do you remember the whole time or was there like a little blackout period?
	♥ 11:10am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:09 Apparently not
	11:10am clarke: ↳ Song: "Don't Breathe" by "Brad Paisley" much as you wanna hate this guy... he writes good tunes. sometimes.
	♥ 11:11am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:10 Good morning sir! Why him specifically?
	11:11am Folksnake: Palate cleanser
	11:11am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Don't Breathe" by "Brad Paisley" The line between good modern country, and unbearable drek is so fine, it can’t be seen. But it’s there.
	♥ 11:12am Montmaster J: ↳ Moammar @11:06 Yup. Big, big hit in a back and forth game. Lots of good news.. Peterson, Vientos and Soto too.
	11:12am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:11 hah, well, his kind. ha ha. he's a likeable enough sort. i reckon.
	11:12am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:11 that's what i was getting at. right there.
	♥ 11:12am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:12 Ayup. I reckon so, too.
	♥ 11:13am egould: ↳ Song: "Gimme Little Sign" by "Memphis Black" Number One!
	♥ 11:13am drr: ↳ clarke @11:09 At his office, St. Charles near Lee Circle. I went down there with the Rubber Maids cause they wanted advice on how their record should look. (I was trying to design things at the time.) He said "I think it should have more PRETTY GIRLS on the cover!" I can't mimic the way he said PRETTY GIRLS here on the accu-playlist, but it was memorably lecherous.
	11:13am clarke: once again, Baby has crystalized my morning fog thoughts..
	11:13am Moammar: ↳ Montmaster J @11:12 Not to mention Baty is playing like maybe he belongs in the show. Rooting for that kid.
	♥ 11:13am Frank In Queens: You only need a brain stem to live. I would think this would be apparent 4 months into 2025.
	♥ 11:14am Ciggy: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:01 Hey Handy I had a very critical MR last night 🌙 "My,Team" will be evaluating the resuults *, My chin has collapsed.onto ny chest.. . Game plan coming
	♥ 11:14am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @11:13 Lol yuck
	11:14am clarke: ↳ drr @11:13 ah, the old K&B building.
	♥ 11:14am Montmaster J: ↳ Moammar @11:06 Oh, btw...did anyone hear Tim Robbins' advice last night, when he was a guest in the booth, for Nimmo..."...pray harder". haha!
	♥ 11:14am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:13 I feel the salaciousness.
	♥ 11:14am drr: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:10 ha ha...I feel like the Rubber Maids (three women) may have really wanted to escape.
	♥ 11:14am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ciggy @11:14 Oooof, Ciggy, sorry to hear it! I am glad the team is on it!
	♥ 11:15am luca v: ↳ Listener Baby @11:11 what was it that nigel tufnel said
	11:15am Moammar: ↳ Montmaster J @11:14 My wife and I fell out laughing. We simultaneously pointed skyward.
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ drr @11:14 Seems like a number of women over the years wanted to escape Fowley and were unable to.
	♥ 11:15am Montmaster J: ↳ Moammar @11:15 Us too! I love Brandon....but that was SO funny. You go Tim!
	11:15am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "The Rainbow" by "Apples in Stereo" ALWAYS a brings a smile!
	11:16am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:15 and men, too. he tried to stick his hand down a bandmate's pants.
	♥ 11:16am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The Rainbow" by "Apples in Stereo" This is a true Michael Shelley band.
	11:17am clarke: ↳ Song: "The Rainbow" by "Apples in Stereo" es bueno!
	11:17am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: APPLES!!!
	♥ 11:17am Ciggy: MSK IS THE IS THE BEST
	♥ 11:18am Frank In Queens: ↳ Montmaster J @11:14 Hilarious 😂
	♥ 11:19am egould: The ‘Rashomon’ of musician interviews.
	11:19am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Debbie Be True" by "Fantastic Baggys, The" Dudes.. Debbie be a skank. Lose her!
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Song: "Debbie Be True" by "Fantastic Baggys, The" definitely pf on lead vox, but i think dean torrance is on bg's
	♥ 11:21am drr: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:15 I think I may not have been invited to the meeting 100% in my role as graphic designer. More like 50% UN observer.
	♥ 11:21am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Song: "The Rainbow" by "Apples in Stereo" one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES EVER
	♥ 11:21am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Song: "Debbie Be True" by "Fantastic Baggys, The" love this and it definitely teams with the theme!
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Song: "For Us To Find" by "Gosdin Brothers, The" VERN!!
	11:22am Fred and Alan: Hello everyone. Happy Easter. Fred and Alan
	11:23am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "For Us To Find" by "Gosdin Brothers, The" Sounds like it’s tailor made for Mr. Nick Lowe.
	11:25am Moammar: Stanback is fine stuff. Has helped me through many a difficult weekend morning.
	♥ 11:26am drr: Southern people like the headache powders, like BC Powders and Stanback. I think they all have caffeine.
	11:26am ChrisB.: I’m a big fan of Goody’s Headache Powder. Works fast.
	11:26am Mich: Like excederin
	11:26am OnTheTrain: wait mike were you hanging around with clay . whats next doanes pills .
	♥ 11:26am listener phat in Lincoln: I've never heard of headache powder!
	11:26am jnalv: I think Excedrin has a little caffeine too
	♥ 11:26am egould: Motrin and vodka.
	11:26am clarke: other regions of the south had same stuff but called BC Powder, and the spokesman was Faron Young on the teevee
	♥ 11:26am drr: ↳ ChrisB. @11:26 I forgot Goody's! Any more names?
	♥ 11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ egould @11:26 My liver just cramped up
	♥ 11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @11:26 Motorik and vodka.
	11:27am tonyb: Did Excedrin contain a soupçon of caffeine? I forget…
	♥ 11:27am egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 That might work too.
	11:27am clarke: need donuts!!
	11:27am OnTheTrain: goslings 151 and coke syrup .
	♥ 11:27am Ike: IDK that caffeine helps headaches unless you're already a caffeine addict. And even then, it may just be that caffeine withdrawal causes the headaches in the first place!
	11:28am gf2002: One could argue it would have a similar effect to take a few aspirin washed down with a cup of coffee, but what do I know.
	11:28am Scott from Boston: Caffeine definitely helps with headaches… However, it can also have the reverse effect and if you’re addicted to caffeine and don’t have it, you will get a headache. If you over drink, caffeine will also have a paradoxical effect.
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: Wagstaff: I got it! Haddock! Baravelli: Atsa funny, I gotta haddock too. Wagstaff: What do you take for a haddock? Baravelli: Well now, sometimes I take aspirin, sometimes I takea calomel.
	♥ 11:28am drr: ↳ jnalv @11:26 It does. That one's subtly or maybe not subtly marketed toward people with hangovers (when you have 'exced' your limits.)
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:28 Interesting!
	11:28am greg g: Happy Saturday Michael and all you #1’s !
	♥ 11:29am egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 Hahaha!
	11:29am Scott from Boston: … Research shows that around 100 to 150 milligrams of caffeine (which is equivalent to a small cup of coffee) tends to help reduce and even prevent headaches
	11:29am ChrisB.: Anacin also contains caffeine.
	♥ 11:29am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:27 Definitely!
	♥ 11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: Headed to the bakery in a few.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:29 that was aimed at you! ha ha
	♥ 11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:30 I thought it might!
	11:31am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:30 your donut conscience.
	11:31am gf2002: Best hangover cure I found personally was going to The Ground Round at Prudential Center in Boston on hazy Sunday afternoons and getting a bowl of chowder, a plate of spring rolls, and whatever else I could stomach. Never tried headache powder. And I don't think The Ground Round exists anymore
	♥ 11:32am John L: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:28 I used to work overnights at a deli, so I could drink coffee for free; I drank over 6 cups during any 8 hour shift. I decided to quit, cold turkey, and I felt like I had the flu. Now I keep it to one a day, two at most.
	11:32am Scott from Boston: Gf2002… you’re so timely… It just staged to come back!
	11:32am annette: yer killing me !
	11:32am clarke: ↳ John L @11:32 damn!!
	11:32am OnTheTrain: @gf2002 ouch the walk was probably the cure not the spring rolls from the ground round .
	11:33am P-90: “I… am… in a marriage”
	11:33am wenzo: Caffeine definitely helps my headaches. Its in migraine pills. I think caffeine dependency could cause future headaches… if you don’t get your caffeine?
	11:34am gf2002: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:32 Oh wow! I had no idea they were coming back! That location at the Pru was one of my favorite hangouts, especially during football season.
	♥ 11:34am egould: ↳ P-90 @11:33 Yep. Compromise.
	♥ 11:34am Frank In Queens: It took my mom a while to lose the penny taste as well. It eventually goes away though
	11:34am dw!d: Excedrin has aspirin & caffeine. They added acetaminophen somewhere along the line. Dad swore by it.
	11:35am gf2002: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:32 The spring rolls were good though, just heavy enough to fill the stomach haha. I think it was the chowder...and the walk too.
	♥ 11:35am Ike: I enjoyed seasons 1 and 2 of WL but didn't like season 3. Too slow and contemplative given the thinness of the characterization. Fun trivia: Mike White was on season 37 of Survivor. White Lotus was at least partly inspired by some of his most privileged Survivor competitors.
	♥ 11:35am Hughie Considine: The Altered Images "Happy Birthday" is easier to sing. But of course, Scottish.
	11:35am Theblandest in Atlanta: It was for MLK
	11:35am Scott from Boston: Gf2002, not sure I’ll go, but I’m sure they’re bringing back the classic menu since then I’ve tried to eat a little healthier lol
	11:36am wenzo: I was at a movie recently where the director gave a talk after and it was the director’s birthday… the host asked us to sing happy birthday and then interrupted us immediately “no… the Detroit version” 😂
	11:36am Theblandest in Atlanta: If you grew up in Atlanta, you heard it every year
	♥ 11:36am Christina Ginger: It’s a HBD song, but dedicated to /about/for Dr. Martin Luther King. Mentioned in the lyrics.
	11:36am Marne: Thank you, Michael!! 💕
	11:36am luker duker: It’s specifically a Martin Luther king jr day song
	11:36am P-90: Wait, Michael Shelley really didn’t know that Stevie Wonder made that birthday song record thing…?
	♥ 11:37am Handy Haversack: HH: What if we just never sang happy birthday songs? K8: Because little kids everywhere would cry! HH: You're really selling me on this!
	♥ 11:37am drr: ↳ P-90 @11:36 I didn't either.
	11:37am Michael Shelley: ↳ P-90 @11:36 Had no idea. Never hear it before. Where did you hear it?
	11:37am Listener Baby: Baby. I had the same experience with that McCa Christmas song. I didn’t know it existed, and EVERYBODY knows it. Weird feeling.
	♥ 11:37am Hughie Considine: I was wondering if it was a Brandon Lowe/Low situation.
	♥ 11:38am egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:37 It was popular and on top 40 radio when I was a kid.
	♥ 11:38am Hughie Considine: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:37 That sounded like an ultra-mega birthday remix too.
	11:38am Listener Baby: ↳ luker duker @11:36 That is correct.
	11:38am Michael Shelley: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:36 Ahhhh. The version in the restaurant was just 50 seconds of the "Happy Birthday" part over and over.
	♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:37 K8 breaks into it whenever the other "Happy Birthday"song finishes.
	11:39am wenzo: I’d heard it before but I didn’t know it was Stevie Wonder… or about MLK… fascinating.
	♥ 11:39am Montmaster J: Lowery has a great sense of humor...so refreshing these days.
	11:39am Frank Zaatar: As soon as you wrap up today, please listen to Hotter than July. It will make your life complete.
	11:39am gf2002: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:35 Is it just in the Boston area? I'm no longer there but if they do come back I'll give 'em a try, I thought they made a pretty good bowl of chowder and the appys were good too. I also miss the 99 since leaving the area, best wedge salad I ever had.
	11:39am Ed From Jersey City: I stumbled upon their first record recently. It’s really good. With all the Pavement mythologizing that’s happening lately, I think it’s time for CVB to get a fresh look and some recognition as a precursor. It’s like they had the same pot dealer, but while Malkmus and company went off to college, the Campers stayed in town ripping tubes and soaking up country music.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Song: "Disneyland Jail" by "David Lowery" there's a rhythmic weirdness, in this.
	♥ 11:40am egould: Never got wasted at Disneyland. On the other hand, I have been completely zonked out of my mind at Knott’s Berry Farm.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:39 had a day-job near the pru, long ago - mid-90's
	♥ 11:41am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:37 I don't think birthdays are special occasions at all. Literally every single person has one. How can something be special when everyone has it?!
	♥ 11:41am Montmaster J: ...and don't drink the Heineken! ;)
	11:41am Moammar: I learned a lot about life bagging groceries at the Kroger.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:41 i am with ya; however, some people enjoy celebrating themselves.
	♥ 11:42am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:42 See, I'm all about dismissing myself.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Moammar @11:41 like heavy items at the bottom.
	♥ 11:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ed From Jersey City @11:39 I like CVB a thousand times more than I like Pavement. And even that might be selling the difference short.
	11:43am P-90: The Scooby Doo guy should do a birthday song too
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:42 you are not dismissed - YET!
	♥ 11:44am JG: To me Disney World Jail would be a welcome respite from The Magic Kingdom Death March
	♥ 11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:31 Yes
	♥ 11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Gonna Fight The War" by "Merry Go Round" Holy hell
	11:45am gf2002: I'll say it right now - Lowrey's song with Cracker (Track 69) "Euro Trash Girl" is one of the best songs of the 90's. A tidbit from the 90's: There was and I guess still is a restaurant on Newbury Street Boston called Sonsie that had open-air seating and would play music...and that area was frequented by a lot of the Euro students and whatnot, too much money and attitude and all that. And whoever ran the music playlist at Sonsie had Euro Trash Girl on very heavy rotation, so when you walked by chances are you'd hear it. I always thought that was hilarious when you had actual Euro Trash Girls walking by...anyway, I hope that doesn't offend anyone but I thought it was a nice touch from the folks at Sonsie.
	♥ 11:45am Hughie Considine: Patton Oswalt's bit called "You Are Allowed 20 Birthdays" is for me the final word on it.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:42 hooooogaaaaan!!! dis-missed!!
	♥ 11:45am egould: ↳ Song: "Grandma's Roadhouse" by "Riley" Lot of stereo separation on this one. Sounds good in my earbuds.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 my work was even closer to Sonsie, ha ha
	11:46am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:41 Very cool, that's when I was there! Spent most of the 90's living in Boston. A roommate worked the front desk at Legal's at the Prudential back in 93-94 or so.
	♥ 11:46am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 Fair enough. I think I'd either cap it at 18 or extend to 21 though.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 haven't heard that but YES!
	♥ 11:47am Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 I think that should also apply to exchanging gifts on holidays, but I'm also a rotten son of a bitch and can understand while others would not agree.
	11:47am clarke: emmitt rhodes is the greatest (and most disturbing interview)
	♥ 11:47am mojo61: When I was 18 (1980) and was a long-haired burnout, a friend and I got busted smoking a bowl on the gondolas suspended high above Disneyland. When we landed, a very stern warning came from a very Aryan looking Southern California college boy: "Hand over the pipe! We don't allow drug use here at Disneyland!" We were sunned and stoned but didn't hand over the pipe and didn't go to Disneyland Jail. We were spied upon while riding the gondola, just as Walt himself would have wanted it.
	♥ 11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:46 I'm-a send it to you.
	♥ 11:48am PaulRobeson1925: Morningggggggggggg
	11:48am KWilde: Crazy MS interview with Emitt Rhodes
	♥ 11:48am listener phat in Lincoln: I keep forgetting to check out that emmit Rhodes interview.
	♥ 11:48am Mister Dobalina: The Whitest Guy Ever..hahahah.
	11:48am Moammar: Mo-beel, as we say.
	♥ 11:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 Oh, 100 percent. That song is absolutely classic. Goes through my head all the time.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 i'm'a sure i can'a find eet.
	♥ 11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ mojo61 @11:47 I almost got in trouble for smoking a little joint at the Newport Folk Festival while the Roches were playing. I didn't make it to Newport Folk Jail, but I bet it was fairly cozy.
	11:49am Todd-o-phonic Todd: You very shrewdly avoided giving a review of the restaurant itself which leads me to believe that you probably didn't enjoy it though of course that is somewhat of an assumption on my end.
	♥ 11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:48 You know what to do.
	♥ 11:49am drr: That Emitt Rhodes interview is sad. If you heard his final record "Rainbow Ends", that's sad too. Not in a nice way. It's a good record but I don't really like to listen to it.
	♥ 11:49am egould: ↳ Song: "Love Is Alright" by "Cliff Nobles & Co." The Horse. With lyrics.
	11:50am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:46 I miss Tower Records on the corner but most of my purchases were at Newbury Comics, their prices were better haha. Good times living in that area, I miss it
	♥ 11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:49 They give you herbal tea while they hold you.
	11:50am Listener Baby: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @11:49 Believe in yourself Todd. I’m sure it was terrific.
	11:50am clarke: ↳ drr @11:49 agree on both. but the first THREE. WOW.
	♥ 11:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:49 Hand-knitted afghans and whatnots. Found a Roches record out in Seattle last week!
	11:50am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Love Is Alright" by "Cliff Nobles & Co." Our high school band used to do this at our mandatory pep rallies. Best part of the whole dismal experience.
	11:50am P-90: “Newport Folk Jail” could REALLY be a hellish ordeal…
	11:51am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:50 hah, bingo! you hit it. my day-gig was across from Tower.
	♥ 11:51am egould: ↳ Moammar @11:50 Yeah. It’s ‘The Horse’.
	♥ 11:51am Mister Dobalina: Oh witchy woman.
	♥ 11:51am Hughie Considine: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:50 hahaha!...and serenade you with traditional songs...
	11:52am Moammar: ↳ egould @11:51 Yes. The vocals do not improve it, I think.
	11:52am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Love Is Alright" by "Cliff Nobles & Co." You rarely hear the vocal, thanks for spinning this one! Solid soul vocals but the decision to play it as an instrumental was pure marketing genius. Was that a DJ or a label decision?
	♥ 11:52am egould: ↳ Moammar @11:52 Agreed.
	♥ 11:52am drr: We (our family, specifically my brother and I) used to go see the UT Chattanooga Moccasins football games and one of the visiting marching bands did "The Horse", that was great. We would always hope for that every week.
	11:52am Scott from Boston: You really can’t do much better than this song by Cliff Nobles
	♥ 11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 The first three or four are really good. Production gets too fussy as they go along.
	♥ 11:52am mojo61: Also, I was 1 of a few crackers attending a party celebrating a friend's birthday. When the cake and candles came out, I automatically started singing the standard song. I was quickly drowned out (and confused) by the Stevie Wonder song. I just clapped along (yes I have rhythm!) but I kind of felt excluded. Kind of what a lot of black people in the reverse situation must feel on a regular basis.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:52 uh, the way i understand it is that it was an instrumental hit FIRST and then someone tacked vocals onto it, later.

	11:54am Leif Ericson: Nowadays in movies and so many restaurants, the employees have to sing those bizarre, made up and annoying "Franken-songs" for someone's birthday....if not...it's copyright infringement to the "Happy Birthday" song and they don't want to get sued.
	11:54am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:51 Very cool! That was a great time and a great place to be at that time. There was a little music shop a few blocks down on Newbury that I used to drop in often and almost bought a Clavinet there back in '93 or so. Back Bay in the 90's was one of the best times of my life.

Apparently BC Powders company headquarters are in Tarrytown, NY!!

A better shop was up the street on Boylston near Jack's Drum Shop and Little Steve's pizza, once they gave me and a buddy a stack of vinyl they had gotten in and it was all 60's...we were happily shocked at their generosity, I'll never forget that. Included Rubber Soul, Tim Hardin, lot of 60's. Whoever that was working the counter that morning, thank you!

This ended several years ago as the copyright ran out and the song went into public domain. These restaurants are free to sing "Happy Birthday", today.

	♥ 12:17pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Giving It All Away" by "20/20" The Yellow Pills series, which takes its name from a 20/20 song, is usually described as power pop compilation.
	12:18pm clarke: classification seems futile to me.

	12:19pm P-90: Schulz was a Jazz fan and particularly a Brubeck fan (remember how incredibly popular Brubeck was at the time, Take Five had enjoyed maybe the greatest crossover success of any “trad Jazz” album ever.) When they couldn’t get Brubeck, they were looking around and someone told them about this young Brubeck-type Vince Guaraldi. Schulz made all of these decisions himself: about how the animation would be done, how the characters would move, that actual children should do the voices, and what the music should be. One of the more spectacular successes by a creator in one medium moving his creations into another medium.
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: ↳ mojo61 @11:47 hidden cameras everywhere I guess
	12:21pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "There's a Fire in the Fireplace" by "Cyrcle, The" Sounds a bit like a Tommy James tune.

	♥ 12:22pm Hughie Considine: ↳ P-90 @12:19 Thanks for that. Says a lot about what Schulz valued: jazz, authenticity, and being in control.
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Moammar @11:50 what did you play?
	♥ 12:23pm drr: ↳ P-90 @12:19 He also insisted on the biblical Christmas story being included, which I think caused CBS some consternation. His sticking to his guns about everything is why that show is so good.
	12:23pm jg: Possibly my fav Willie song
	♥ 12:23pm drr: ↳ Song: "Me And Paul" by "Willie Nelson" Marty McSorley closed out his show with this one a week or two ago.

	12:35pm DG: Speaking of TCM, did anyone see the Johnny-Cash-as-murderer film the same night? Sounded crazy but forgot to record it. I tuned in for 5 minutes & it was b&w (kinda late for '66) & looked pretty low-budget.
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:34 they are homing animals, too. hard to get rid of.

	♥ 12:43pm Deano de los Muertos: Hey Michael and all..reading my LCD. I’m on the Prince comic where it says “Computer Blue doesn’t sound right without Darling Nikki right after it.” For me, Computer Blue doesn’t sound right unless it’s followed by “shoot the J” iykyk

	12:55pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Ruby" by "Explorers Club, The" I don't want this to sound like a criticism, but it makes you really appreciate how great of a drummer Johnny Barbata was on the original Turtles records...he had an amazing sound and feel on the snare especially.
	12:56pm clarke: barbata was fantastic, but there was nothing wrong with the original turtles drummer, either
	♥ 12:56pm egould: Thanks, Michael. That did not suck.
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 Billy Zoom is one of the most underrated guitarists, he was a monster of a player and had that incredible Gretsch tone to compliment those crazy parts he came up with.
	♥ 12:57pm Hughie Considine: Wasn't the original Turtles drummer Michelangelo?
	♥ 12:57pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Patty Baby" by "Untamed Youth, The" The Freddie Cannon song! Is this from an album?

	♥ 12:59pm listener phat in Lincoln: Thanks Michael
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:59 is that tangible?
	♥ 1:00pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Linus And Lucy (take 3)" by "Vince Guaraldi Trio" Nobody refers to this by its proper name. It's just known as the Peanuts theme--or worse, these days, as "the Charlie Brown song".
	♥ 1:01pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:57 Yes.

	11:27am clarke: need donuts!!
	11:27am OnTheTrain: goslings 151 and coke syrup .
	♥ 11:27am Ike: IDK that caffeine helps headaches unless you're already a caffeine addict. And even then, it may just be that caffeine withdrawal causes the headaches in the first place!
	11:28am gf2002: One could argue it would have a similar effect to take a few aspirin washed down with a cup of coffee, but what do I know.
	11:28am Scott from Boston: Caffeine definitely helps with headaches… However, it can also have the reverse effect and if you’re addicted to caffeine and don’t have it, you will get a headache. If you over drink, caffeine will also have a paradoxical effect.
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: Wagstaff: I got it! Haddock! Baravelli: Atsa funny, I gotta haddock too. Wagstaff: What do you take for a haddock? Baravelli: Well now, sometimes I take aspirin, sometimes I takea calomel.
	♥ 11:28am drr: ↳ jnalv @11:26 It does. That one's subtly or maybe not subtly marketed toward people with hangovers (when you have 'exced' your limits.)

	♥ 11:29am egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 Hahaha!
	11:29am Scott from Boston: … Research shows that around 100 to 150 milligrams of caffeine (which is equivalent to a small cup of coffee) tends to help reduce and even prevent headaches
	11:29am ChrisB.: Anacin also contains caffeine.

	11:31am gf2002: Best hangover cure I found personally was going to The Ground Round at Prudential Center in Boston on hazy Sunday afternoons and getting a bowl of chowder, a plate of spring rolls, and whatever else I could stomach. Never tried headache powder. And I don't think The Ground Round exists anymore
	♥ 11:32am John L: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:28 I used to work overnights at a deli, so I could drink coffee for free; I drank over 6 cups during any 8 hour shift. I decided to quit, cold turkey, and I felt like I had the flu. Now I keep it to one a day, two at most.
	11:32am Scott from Boston: Gf2002… you’re so timely… It just staged to come back!
	11:32am annette: yer killing me !
	11:32am clarke: ↳ John L @11:32 damn!!
	11:32am OnTheTrain: @gf2002 ouch the walk was probably the cure not the spring rolls from the ground round .
	11:33am P-90: “I… am… in a marriage”
	11:33am wenzo: Caffeine definitely helps my headaches. Its in migraine pills. I think caffeine dependency could cause future headaches… if you don’t get your caffeine?
	11:34am gf2002: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:32 Oh wow! I had no idea they were coming back! That location at the Pru was one of my favorite hangouts, especially during football season.
	♥ 11:34am egould: ↳ P-90 @11:33 Yep. Compromise.
	♥ 11:34am Frank In Queens: It took my mom a while to lose the penny taste as well. It eventually goes away though
	11:34am dw!d: Excedrin has aspirin & caffeine. They added acetaminophen somewhere along the line. Dad swore by it.
	11:35am gf2002: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:32 The spring rolls were good though, just heavy enough to fill the stomach haha. I think it was the chowder...and the walk too.
	♥ 11:35am Ike: I enjoyed seasons 1 and 2 of WL but didn't like season 3. Too slow and contemplative given the thinness of the characterization. Fun trivia: Mike White was on season 37 of Survivor. White Lotus was at least partly inspired by some of his most privileged Survivor competitors.
	♥ 11:35am Hughie Considine: The Altered Images "Happy Birthday" is easier to sing. But of course, Scottish.
	11:35am Theblandest in Atlanta: It was for MLK
	11:35am Scott from Boston: Gf2002, not sure I’ll go, but I’m sure they’re bringing back the classic menu since then I’ve tried to eat a little healthier lol
	11:36am wenzo: I was at a movie recently where the director gave a talk after and it was the director’s birthday… the host asked us to sing happy birthday and then interrupted us immediately “no… the Detroit version” 😂
	11:36am Theblandest in Atlanta: If you grew up in Atlanta, you heard it every year
	♥ 11:36am Christina Ginger: It’s a HBD song, but dedicated to /about/for Dr. Martin Luther King. Mentioned in the lyrics.
	11:36am Marne: Thank you, Michael!! 💕
	11:36am luker duker: It’s specifically a Martin Luther king jr day song
	11:36am P-90: Wait, Michael Shelley really didn’t know that Stevie Wonder made that birthday song record thing…?
	♥ 11:37am Handy Haversack: HH: What if we just never sang happy birthday songs? K8: Because little kids everywhere would cry! HH: You're really selling me on this!

	11:37am Michael Shelley: ↳ P-90 @11:36 Had no idea. Never hear it before. Where did you hear it?
	11:37am Listener Baby: Baby. I had the same experience with that McCa Christmas song. I didn’t know it existed, and EVERYBODY knows it. Weird feeling.
	♥ 11:37am Hughie Considine: I was wondering if it was a Brandon Lowe/Low situation.
	♥ 11:38am egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:37 It was popular and on top 40 radio when I was a kid.
	♥ 11:38am Hughie Considine: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:37 That sounded like an ultra-mega birthday remix too.
	11:38am Listener Baby: ↳ luker duker @11:36 That is correct.
	11:38am Michael Shelley: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:36 Ahhhh. The version in the restaurant was just 50 seconds of the "Happy Birthday" part over and over.
	♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:37 K8 breaks into it whenever the other "Happy Birthday"song finishes.
	11:39am wenzo: I’d heard it before but I didn’t know it was Stevie Wonder… or about MLK… fascinating.
	♥ 11:39am Montmaster J: Lowery has a great sense of humor...so refreshing these days.
	11:39am Frank Zaatar: As soon as you wrap up today, please listen to Hotter than July. It will make your life complete.
	11:39am gf2002: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:35 Is it just in the Boston area? I'm no longer there but if they do come back I'll give 'em a try, I thought they made a pretty good bowl of chowder and the appys were good too. I also miss the 99 since leaving the area, best wedge salad I ever had.
	11:39am Ed From Jersey City: I stumbled upon their first record recently. It’s really good. With all the Pavement mythologizing that’s happening lately, I think it’s time for CVB to get a fresh look and some recognition as a precursor. It’s like they had the same pot dealer, but while Malkmus and company went off to college, the Campers stayed in town ripping tubes and soaking up country music.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Song: "Disneyland Jail" by "David Lowery" there's a rhythmic weirdness, in this.

	11:45am gf2002: I'll say it right now - Lowrey's song with Cracker (Track 69) "Euro Trash Girl" is one of the best songs of the 90's. A tidbit from the 90's: There was and I guess still is a restaurant on Newbury Street Boston called Sonsie that had open-air seating and would play music...and that area was frequented by a lot of the Euro students and whatnot, too much money and attitude and all that. And whoever ran the music playlist at Sonsie had Euro Trash Girl on very heavy rotation, so when you walked by chances are you'd hear it. I always thought that was hilarious when you had actual Euro Trash Girls walking by...anyway, I hope that doesn't offend anyone but I thought it was a nice touch from the folks at Sonsie.
	♥ 11:45am Hughie Considine: Patton Oswalt's bit called "You Are Allowed 20 Birthdays" is for me the final word on it.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:42 hooooogaaaaan!!! dis-missed!!
	♥ 11:45am egould: ↳ Song: "Grandma's Roadhouse" by "Riley" Lot of stereo separation on this one. Sounds good in my earbuds.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 my work was even closer to Sonsie, ha ha
	11:46am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:41 Very cool, that's when I was there! Spent most of the 90's living in Boston. A roommate worked the front desk at Legal's at the Prudential back in 93-94 or so.
	♥ 11:46am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 Fair enough. I think I'd either cap it at 18 or extend to 21 though.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 haven't heard that but YES!
	♥ 11:47am Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 I think that should also apply to exchanging gifts on holidays, but I'm also a rotten son of a bitch and can understand while others would not agree.
	11:47am clarke: emmitt rhodes is the greatest (and most disturbing interview)
	♥ 11:47am mojo61: When I was 18 (1980) and was a long-haired burnout, a friend and I got busted smoking a bowl on the gondolas suspended high above Disneyland. When we landed, a very stern warning came from a very Aryan looking Southern California college boy: "Hand over the pipe! We don't allow drug use here at Disneyland!" We were sunned and stoned but didn't hand over the pipe and didn't go to Disneyland Jail. We were spied upon while riding the gondola, just as Walt himself would have wanted it.

	♥ 11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ mojo61 @11:47 I almost got in trouble for smoking a little joint at the Newport Folk Festival while the Roches were playing. I didn't make it to Newport Folk Jail, but I bet it was fairly cozy.
	11:49am Todd-o-phonic Todd: You very shrewdly avoided giving a review of the restaurant itself which leads me to believe that you probably didn't enjoy it though of course that is somewhat of an assumption on my end.
	♥ 11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:48 You know what to do.
	♥ 11:49am drr: That Emitt Rhodes interview is sad. If you heard his final record "Rainbow Ends", that's sad too. Not in a nice way. It's a good record but I don't really like to listen to it.

	11:52am Moammar: ↳ egould @11:51 Yes. The vocals do not improve it, I think.
	11:52am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Love Is Alright" by "Cliff Nobles & Co." You rarely hear the vocal, thanks for spinning this one! Solid soul vocals but the decision to play it as an instrumental was pure marketing genius. Was that a DJ or a label decision?
	♥ 11:52am egould: ↳ Moammar @11:52 Agreed.
	♥ 11:52am drr: We (our family, specifically my brother and I) used to go see the UT Chattanooga Moccasins football games and one of the visiting marching bands did "The Horse", that was great. We would always hope for that every week.

	♥ 11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 The first three or four are really good. Production gets too fussy as they go along.
	♥ 11:52am mojo61: Also, I was 1 of a few crackers attending a party celebrating a friend's birthday. When the cake and candles came out, I automatically started singing the standard song. I was quickly drowned out (and confused) by the Stevie Wonder song. I just clapped along (yes I have rhythm!) but I kind of felt excluded. Kind of what a lot of black people in the reverse situation must feel on a regular basis.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:52 uh, the way i understand it is that it was an instrumental hit FIRST and then someone tacked vocals onto it, later.

	11:54am Leif Ericson: Nowadays in movies and so many restaurants, the employees have to sing those bizarre, made up and annoying "Franken-songs" for someone's birthday....if not...it's copyright infringement to the "Happy Birthday" song and they don't want to get sued.
	11:54am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:51 Very cool! That was a great time and a great place to be at that time. There was a little music shop a few blocks down on Newbury that I used to drop in often and almost bought a Clavinet there back in '93 or so.

	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:16 gnaw!
	♥ 12:17pm egould: ↳ Song: "Giving It All Away" by "20/20" Power pop, on the bubblegum side.
	♥ 12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Giving It All Away" by "20/20" Definitely not "Yellow Pills"
	♥ 12:17pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Giving It All Away" by "20/20" The Yellow Pills series, which takes its name from a 20/20 song, is usually described as power pop compilation.
	12:18pm clarke: classification seems futile to me.
	12:18pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Giving It All Away" by "20/20" Good friend just saw these guys the other day. Said they were really good.
	♥ 12:18pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:18 As you would say, Hard agree.
	♥ 12:18pm StuartR: ↳ Song: "Giving It All Away" by "20/20" Power Pop, definitely
	♥ 12:18pm egould: If anyone ever wants to know “Is it power pop?”, just ask me. I am the arbiter of all things power pop.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:18 pigeon-holing - it's not my bag, baby!! BABY!!
	12:19pm OnTheTrain: ok i know its spring now . how we have carpenter bees that come out and since they dont sting are bugger then bumblebees and easy to spot (they are shiny) and eat wood , my wife gets a badminton racket out and swats at them . when she hits one i hear "yeeesss i got one" .
	12:19pm P-90: Schulz was a Jazz fan and particularly a Brubeck fan (remember how incredibly popular Brubeck was at the time, Take Five had enjoyed maybe the greatest crossover success of any “trad Jazz” album ever.) When they couldn’t get Brubeck, they were looking around and someone told them about this young Brubeck-type Vince Guaraldi. Schulz made all of these decisions himself: about how the animation would be done, how the characters would move, that actual children should do the voices, and what the music should be. One of the more spectacular successes by a creator in one medium moving his creations into another medium.
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: ↳ mojo61 @11:47 hidden cameras everywhere I guess
	12:21pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "There's a Fire in the Fireplace" by "Cyrcle, The" Sounds a bit like a Tommy James tune.
	♥ 12:22pm PNX: "How'd you even know I was at the WFMU record and CD sale?" "I've got RADAR."
	♥ 12:22pm Hughie Considine: ↳ P-90 @12:19 Thanks for that. Says a lot about what Schulz valued: jazz, authenticity, and being in control.
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Moammar @11:50 what did you play?
	♥ 12:23pm drr: ↳ P-90 @12:19 He also insisted on the biblical Christmas story being included, which I think caused CBS some consternation. His sticking to his guns about everything is why that show is so good.
	12:23pm jg: Possibly my fav Willie song
	♥ 12:23pm drr: ↳ Song: "Me And Paul" by "Willie Nelson" Marty McSorley closed out his show with this one a week or two ago.
	12:24pm Michael Shelley: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:19 I plug their perfectly circular holes with Elmer's & cotton balls
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:24 Elmer's Cheese Curls?? (a staple of nola bodegas)
	12:24pm Moammar: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:22 Nothing! They herded the entire student body into the gym to cheer on the football team whether we liked it or not. Texas, baby!
	♥ 12:25pm listener phat in Lincoln: "we drank a lot of whiskey so I don't know if we went on at all" is an amazing lyric.
	♥ 12:26pm newton: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:19 carpenter ants here, though they haven't shown up yet; could be I put enough boric acid out for them last year they're not coming back
	♥ 12:26pm Hubig Pie: Did anyone see Road to Nashville last week with a very clean cut Waylon Jennings?
	12:26pm Mr. Jones: ↳ drr @12:23 Went full pagan with The Big Pumpkin too.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:26 what was that on?
	12:27pm Mr. Jones: or "Great Pumpkin" rather
	♥ 12:27pm Garrity: ↳ Song: "Me And Paul" by "Willie Nelson" G'afternoon Michael and everyone! Great tune!
	12:28pm Joe M: It’s great! I did it too dad. How many field trips did you attend?
	12:28pm George Kopp: Lovely tribute to parenthood, Michael.
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:08 $?
	♥ 12:28pm DJ Johnny Cool: Hairspray!
	♥ 12:29pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Foot Stomping" by "Flares, The" Passed up a Best of The Flares CD at Academy recently, and now I feel like running back and grabbing it...
	12:29pm OnTheTrain: @mike i used some sawdust and elmers . but the sure fire fix was this trap i found that would get them to land on it and get stuck . then birds would cone by and eat them .
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @12:29 your academy!
	12:30pm jg: I used to like when my daughters were toddlers to put on “Run, Run, Run “ by the Who and watch them run around the house singing it
	♥ 12:30pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:30 Not not not not not
	12:30pm greg g: Total #1 tune and anecdote ! Thank you for sharing Michael and all the best to you and your family.
	♥ 12:30pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:26 Monday night (I think) on TCM. Had some great footage of Johnny Cash and the Carter Family, Marty Robbins, et al. circa 1966.
	12:31pm P-90: OH YEAH
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:30 walking to your room asking dirty questions
	12:31pm OnTheTrain: @newton i have tons of tiny black ants and they love the boric acid stuff , but its not working :(
	12:31pm P-90: She sings like an enormous trumpet
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:30 dangit. missed it.
	12:32pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Goldfinger" by "Shirley Bassey" Jimmy Page on guitar!
	♥ 12:32pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Goldfinger" by "Shirley Bassey" Apparently John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page were on this track.
	12:32pm jg: Jimmy page!
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:32 apparently.
	♥ 12:32pm egould: Gooold-fingaah!!!
	♥ 12:32pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:31 I got to have dinner with Roger Miller a few weeks ago. He's interesting...
	12:32pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Goldfinger" by "Shirley Bassey" Best mics, best studio, arranger, musicians. Everyone in that room deserves to be there. Even the the kid rolling of the cables. As good as it gets.
	♥ 12:33pm Hughie Considine: The Kashmir riff could almost go here somewhere...
	♥ 12:33pm newton: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:31 could try borax too, they are close anyway, and it's in the laundry soap section - add a little sugar to it so they eat it and take it back to the nest
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:32 e's a good sort!
	12:33pm Zulu Delta: Ranking Bond songs??? I know it doesn't sound impressively hip and original but...."Live and Let Die" for me.
	♥ 12:33pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:33 He really is. It was a lot of fun.
	♥ 12:34pm tadpoles: ↳ gf2002 @12:32 One of the highlights of "Becoming Led Zeppelin" was the TV footage of her singing this. Blows some female singers of today out of the water!
	♥ 12:34pm Hughie Considine: "The Man with the Golden Gun" is way up there for me.
	♥ 12:34pm drr: I've got a new pest I've never had before: an armadillo, digging little holes in my yard, looking for worms.
	♥ 12:34pm newton: Shirley is 88!
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:33 either roger miller i would love to have lunch with!
	12:34pm George Kopp: My kids used to flip over Minimum Wage by They Might Be Giants!
	12:34pm BillfromRockTavern: Possibly greatest theme song ever!
	12:35pm DG: Speaking of TCM, did anyone see the Johnny-Cash-as-murderer film the same night? Sounded crazy but forgot to record it. I tuned in for 5 minutes & it was b&w (kinda late for '66) & looked pretty low-budget.
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:34 they are homing animals, too. hard to get rid of.
	♥ 12:35pm Hughie Considine: My kids favorite was "Freight Train Boogie" by the Louvin Bros. We had a 400+ play count on the computer.
	♥ 12:35pm Hubig Pie: Best Bond Song - The Look of Love.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ DG @12:35 not sure about that, but of course the Loo-tenant Columbo "movie" is a champ
	♥ 12:36pm Hughie Considine: Kids like going "woo woo" "wah wah" -- highly recommended!
	♥ 12:36pm egould: ↳ Song: "Nothing On My Mind" by "Brian D'Addario" This is one of those number one hits everyone’s always talking about.
	♥ 12:36pm drr: ↳ drr @12:34 Like a lot of holes. I don't know if they can't see or what. If you shine a light in their eyes, the start hopping toward you. And then run away.
	♥ 12:37pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:36 Johnny damn near got away with it.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:36 the myth is that they spread leprosy... dunno.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:37 damn close. just one more question, sir..
	♥ 12:38pm myron feld: ↳ DG @12:35 DVR-ed it, didn't watch yet. Saw the first third of the preceding "The Road to Nashville" -- exquisite! The Stoneman Family with that electric mandolin workout was WAY out there.
	12:38pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:32 yep - EVERYTHING is on the money
	♥ 12:39pm Hubig Pie: ↳ DG @12:35 Caught a bit. Saw Johnny empty his pistol into some poor girl.
	♥ 12:39pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:34 I resisted the urge to ask him to sing "England Swings."
	♥ 12:39pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:37 They are the only animal besides humans that carry Hansen's disease, but I understand you would have to handle an infected animal a lot to catch it; it's not airborne.
	12:39pm Cosmic: Tell me about it.
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:38 i hear you need some tracking done??
	♥ 12:40pm drr: ↳ drr @12:39 I do wonder who found out that peculiarity about armadillos though; somebody did.
	♥ 12:41pm Hubig Pie: ↳ myron feld @12:38 That mandolin took a beatin'!
	♥ 12:41pm listener phat in Lincoln: I kinda does matter!
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:40 u ever been to Carrville, La??
	♥ 12:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: "it"
	12:42pm gf2002: My favorite Bond songs are Nancy's You Only Live Twice, Louis Armstrong's We Have All The Time In The World from my favorite Bond film, Macca's Live And Let Die, Shirley's Goldfinger of course, and...Duran Duran's A View To A Kill, which is a great slice of 80's pop and early sampling courtesy Nick Rhodes samples of the John Barry horns.
	♥ 12:43pm Deano de los Muertos: Hey Michael and all..reading my LCD. I’m on the Prince comic where it says “Computer Blue doesn’t sound right without Darling Nikki right after it.” For me, Computer Blue doesn’t sound right unless it’s followed by “shoot the J” iykyk
	12:43pm P-90: @Hubig Pie -“The Look of Love” is indeed a great Bond song, as is “Downtown” by John Barry and Petula Clark
	♥ 12:45pm drr: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @12:43 oh yeah! Got mine yesterday as well. so glad it's back.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Hanging On The Telephone" by "Nerves, The ‎" jack!
	♥ 12:46pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @12:45 Same
	♥ 12:46pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:41 I've heard about it.
	♥ 12:46pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:45 The piece by Dave the Spazz was especially excellent.
	♥ 12:46pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Hanging On The Telephone" by "Nerves, The ‎" Good lord, this is good. It's a perfect lesson for guitar part writing.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 lotta armadillos around there
	♥ 12:47pm DP: Whoa - never heard this original! Amazing!
	12:47pm clarke: RIP Clem Burke!
	♥ 12:47pm Stevie Jay: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 Sweet Thistle Pie
	12:48pm Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:46 yes it is!
	♥ 12:48pm egould: ↳ Song: "Hanging On The Telephone" by "Nerves, The ‎" Goddam that’s a ripper!
	♥ 12:48pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "Tomorrow Belongs To You" by "Gary Valentine" B-side of a perfect single. 60% of Mumps backing Gary.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:48 as soon as i figure out a trace, i'm going to alert the authorities. = is that tangible, tho?
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:46 recordings with just ONE guitar part are rare... and often full of creativity
	♥ 12:49pm Montmaster J: ↳ myron feld @12:48 have always loved this. Went down a Gary Valentine rabbit hole recently...very interesting guy.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:49 is that tangible, sir?
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Jenny And The Ess-Dog" by "Steven Malkmus" get me out of here get me out of here!!!
	♥ 12:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:49 Definitely, especially when they don't just strum, strum, strum.
	12:51pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:49 I'd love to let you kick my ass... just so you'd leave me alone
	12:51pm greg g: The toe rings!
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:51 you'd like that wouldn't you?
	♥ 12:51pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Good to be here!
	♥ 12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: I wish I could write lyrics... I should work on that.
	♥ 12:51pm Garrity: ↳ gf2002 @12:32 Wow Didn't know! Cool!
	♥ 12:52pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Jenny And The Ess-Dog" by "Steven Malkmus" One of my true faves!
	12:52pm David Watts: This album was my portal to indie rock in the 8th grade
	12:52pm gf2002: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:49 Billy Zoom and Eddie Van Halen were among the best at the one-guitar part playing.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:52 hola, senor!
	12:53pm clarke: eleanor baby!!
	♥ 12:54pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ gf2002 @12:52 Truth
	♥ 12:54pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "Ruby" by "Explorers Club, The" I love the EC, and it's an established fact they NEVER heard "Elenore" prior to recording this!
	12:54pm DG: This song is catchy, but skirting just around the edge of plagiarism.
	♥ 12:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:52 I caught X some years back and was absolutely transfixed watching the seated Billy Zoom.
	♥ 12:54pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 He's amazing
	12:55pm clarke: and REM never heard of the byrds
	12:55pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Ruby" by "Explorers Club, The" I don't want this to sound like a criticism, but it makes you really appreciate how great of a drummer Johnny Barbata was on the original Turtles records...he had an amazing sound and feel on the snare especially.
	12:56pm clarke: barbata was fantastic, but there was nothing wrong with the original turtles drummer, either
	♥ 12:56pm egould: Thanks, Michael. That did not suck.
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 Billy Zoom is one of the most underrated guitarists, he was a monster of a player and had that incredible Gretsch tone to compliment those crazy parts he came up with.
	♥ 12:57pm Hughie Considine: Wasn't the original Turtles drummer Michelangelo?
	♥ 12:57pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Patty Baby" by "Untamed Youth, The" The Freddie Cannon song! Is this from an album?
	12:57pm clarke: number one saturday drive-in!
	12:58pm gf2002: #1 records and deviled eggs, a perfect combo!
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been cheated?
	♥ 12:58pm Garrity: Thanks, Michael! Have a great day, all!
	♥ 12:58pm myron feld: ↳ gf2002 @12:56 Yes, yes and yes.
	♥ 12:59pm listener phat in Lincoln: Gotta move some rope, I suppose.
	12:59pm greg g: Thanks Michael! Enjoy the weekend all and Easter if you do it !
	♥ 12:59pm listener phat in Lincoln: Thanks Michael
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:59 is that tangible?
	♥ 1:00pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Linus And Lucy (take 3)" by "Vince Guaraldi Trio" Nobody refers to this by its proper name. It's just known as the Peanuts theme--or worse, these days, as "the Charlie Brown song".
	♥ 1:01pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:57 Yes.
