	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm egould: ↳ Song: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by "The Four Wishes" Sounds like it was recorded in a high school band room featuring the percussion line, and a couple saxes, some flutes. Definitely a marching band.
	12:30pm Dean: Psychedelic rock meets Canterbury sound meets Glen Danzig
	🥁 ♥ 12:32pm WR: ↳ Song: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by "The Four Wishes" sorta belly dance flavor to their version. More Tambourine!
	12:33pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ egould @12:30 Probably recorded at a wedding or supper club (or bowling alley). They were a lounge band.
	🥁 ♥ 12:34pm coelacanth∅: thank you Jim Morrison!
	12:34pm listener rick: ↳ Song: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by "The Four Wishes" Oh that was exquisite. Clearly the drummer was in a different room.

	♥ 12:47pm TDK60: Oh, we're down at the Holiday Inn nightclub?

	🥁 ♥ 12:52pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Something" by "The Continentals" This is heroic.
	🥁 ♥ 12:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "Something" by "The Continentals" Who requested this? To the dance floor, the spotlight is on you and your partner. Enjoy.
	🥁 ♥ 12:52pm egould: ↳ David (in London) @12:48 Hahah!

	♥ 12:55pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Holly!
	♥ 12:55pm HollyRT: Re "I won't last a day without you." I will ALWAYS associate this song with 8th grade--1982. I was in the "select" vocal ensemble and we did this and One Tine Soldier, among others, lol
	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:53 No way, Coela, you're looking sharp. The Zapata moustache is a nice touch, too.
	♥ 12:56pm HollyRT: One *Tin Soldier
	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ egould @12:55 this wine is aging very nicely, since the bottle was opened 1/2 an hour ago
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @12:56 shh, it's not real! -but thanks
	1:01pm listener rick: ↳ Song: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" by "The Links" This has a Shmenge vibe.
	🥁 ♥ 1:02pm egould: ↳ Song: "Fire and Rain" by "The Gigolos" Oh no.
	♥ 1:03pm HollyRT: ↳ Song: "Fire and Rain" by "The Gigolos" The backstory no one wanted or asked for.
	🥁 ♥ 1:04pm egould: ↳ HollyRT @1:03 Yeah what a bummer.
	🥁 ♥ 1:04pm wimpy: ↳ Song: "Fire and Rain" by "The Gigolos" The pathos…
	♥ 1:04pm HollyRT: No doubt the made for TV movie will star Robby Benson
	🥁 ♥ 1:05pm coelacanth∅: but from a critical perspective it was the highlight of the song
	♥ 1:07pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Fire and Rain" by "The Gigolos" I can't slow dance to this funky drummer.

	🥁 ♥ 1:10pm egould: ↳ Song: "Godtower" by "Travelin' Sunshine" Oh cripes!
	1:11pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ David (in London) @1:09 There should be. Every lounge comp included a version. Hopefully, there will also be a Shaft or three.
	1:11pm listener rick: BTW, wasn't Joe Shlabotnik Charlie Brown's favorite baseball player?
	🥁 ♥ 1:11pm David (in London): ↳ Joe Shlabotnik @1:11 Hurrah!
	1:11pm Joe Shlabotnik: Yes
	1:12pm Dean: For a moment there I thought the eponymous tower was Angel's.
	🥁 ♥ 1:12pm WR: ↳ listener rick @1:11 studiogaryc.com...
	♥ 1:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ David (in London) @12:17 Just back from Denmark. The chain bakery Lagkagehuset may be the "lowest common denominator" of danish bakeries per the locals, but their carrot bun was a special thing to this particular rev.
	♥ 1:13pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @1:09 Sadly, we won't be visiting MacArthur Park today. Or getting Shafted. My apologies to Mr. Shlabotnik and David (in London).
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Knights in White Satin" by "Timepiece" adding their own special twist to the title
	♥ 1:20pm Tony Coulter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:18 Here they are: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 1:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:20 i thought they'd be on their horses, wearing armour
	🥁 ♥ 1:22pm egould: ↳ Song: "Spinning Wheel" by "The Specialists" I actually prefer this version to the original.
	1:23pm listener rick: ↳ Song: "Spinning Wheel" by "The Specialists" OK, that was merely awful until the bridge. Then it transcended into execrable.
	1:25pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ listener rick @1:23 The Specialists were very special.
	1:26pm Dean: Pirates Inn is now Carlucci's Waterfront.
	♥ 1:27pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Moondance" by "Vinnie Rome Trio" Oh yeah. This is too much fun
	🥁 ♥ 1:27pm egould: ↳ Song: "Moondance" by "Vinnie Rome Trio" RIP Vinnie Rome. www.legacy.com... I think Michael Shelley has discussed the Pirate Room at some point.
	♥ 1:29pm TDK60: Here's that new psychedelic groovy stuff. Lets' dance. By the way, what's your sign, Betty?
	1:30pm listener rick: ↳ Song: "Age of Aquarius" by "The Specialists" OMG, the female vocal.
	🥁 ♥ 1:31pm egould: ↳ Song: "Sticking Needles Through Paper Doll Eyes" by "Pau... This guy is obviously a maniac.

	🥁 ♥ 1:33pm billy joel∅: ↳ Song: "Sticking Needles Through Paper Doll Eyes" by "Pau... hey, it just may be a Looonatic you're looking for.
	1:35pm Dean: The address for Columbine Records puts it midway between TCL Chinese Theater and Musso & Frank Grill on Hollywood Blvd.
	1:38pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ Dean @1:35 as far as I could find out, they closed down by 2005 or 6. That's when the corporation was dissolved.
	♥ 1:39pm HollyRT: I wonder if Sidro's Armada was the original name of Rod Torfelson's Armada feat. Herman Menderchuk?
	🥁 ♥ 1:39pm egould: ↳ Song: "Spinning Wheel" by "The Specialists" Spinning Wheel just reminded of a humorous episode from 2016. Long story short, if you ever go to the Reno Room in Long Beach, CA do not play Spinning Wheel on the jukebox! I've seen two 70 year old drunks get in a fist fight over that song. At 6:30AM. The fight spilled out on to the sidewalk. One old drunk warned the other old drunk not to play Spinning Wheel. The guy didn't like the horns and the "circus music". The other drunk just couldn't help himself. Did I mention it was 6:30 in the morning? Fun times.
	1:39pm asheville jon: Sidro' s Armada! Hell yeah! Some great live shows on youtube
	🥁 ♥ 1:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park / This Guy's in Love with You" by ... don't let this guy have any sharp objects
	1:42pm Dean: Let's hope that after the Columbine C-suite wrapped up the business they headed to M&F for a martini or two.
	1:42pm listener rick: ↳ asheville jon @1:39 I saw them live, at Harrah's lounge in Reno. They wore matching outfits and the male and female frontmen did coordinated high kicks.
	🥁 ♥ 1:45pm egould: ↳ Song: "Love, Love" by "T.D.S. Productions" This guy is just making this up as it goes.
	♥ 1:45pm Asheville Jon: ↳ listener rick @1:42 that's awesome! they have fantastic matching outfits here: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 1:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ egould @1:39 that's probably happened at the local pub here, when the do not play hotel california sign is violated.
	♥ 1:48pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Sundown at Sea" by "Cal Andrews" Have I had a few too many white russians, or has the band?
	🥁 ♥ 1:52pm coelacanth∅: what a bizarre arrangement! - unforgettable even!
	1:53pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park / This Guy's in Love with You" by ... I have to chime in with a correction here. This wasn't Sidro but Tom Clay doing a medley of Mac Park (so, we did get one) & This Guy's in Love With You. Tom was a once famous DJ who was busted for payola with Alan Freed.
	1:54pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ TDK60 @1:48 Yes

	♥ 2:00pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Joe Shlabotnik @1:53 Fixed the tracklist.
	2:00pm listener rick: ↳ Joe Shlabotnik @1:53 It did seem kinda low energy compared to the act I saw circa 1976.
	2:01pm Mike Cooper: Is this the musical torture hour?
	♥ 2:02pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Mike! I guess it is just that.
	♥ 2:02pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Dear Prudence" by "Speed Turkey" Who hired this hippy band?
	🥁 ♥ 2:05pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Angie" by "Lou Homyak" Tony Cliftonish
	🥁 ♥ 2:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Angie" by "Lou Homyak" Making me laugh...
	🥁 ♥ 2:08pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Blowing in the Wind" by "Goosehound Lostlok" Bob never sounded bober.
	2:09pm listener rick: Yup, that's who I saw, Jon. With the male-female frontman team. Like Donny and Marie on steroids. And, in their way, a good act. Pros.
	♥ 2:09pm HollyRT: A Complete Unknown for a reason
	2:10pm Dean: Peter Brötzmann lounge act
	♥ 2:13pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Song: "Sherm Ain't What's Happening" by "Lance King" I had to check: sherm is embalming fluid.
	🥁 ♥ 2:13pm egould: ↳ Song: "Sherm Ain't What's Happening" by "Lance King" Hahaha!
	♥ 2:14pm holland oats: ↳ Song: "Sherm Ain't What's Happening" by "Lance King" now you tell me!
	♥ 2:14pm Tony Coulter: ↳ holland oats @2:14 Hiya, holland oats!
	♥ 2:15pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Sherm Ain't What's Happening" by "Lance King" I'm dumbfounded. But there are 45 minutes left in the show....
	2:15pm Joe Shlabotnik: PCP (which could include embalming fluid)
	2:15pm asheville jon: I " know" sherm as weed soaked in embalming fluid
	🥁 ♥ 2:15pm egould: Carbona Not Embalming Fluid
	♥ 2:16pm HollyRT: ↳ Song: "Pray for Rosemary's Baby" by "Chuck Stephens" WTF? LOL
	🥁 ♥ 2:18pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Pray for Rosemary's Baby" by "Chuck Stephens" rosemary's little bastard is rat food now.
	🥁 ♥ 2:20pm coelacanth∅: okay, time to go find an alternate torture. Thanks Tony! Thanks Joe Shlabotnik! tchau
	♥ 2:20pm Tony Coulter: See ya, coel!
	2:22pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:20 ciao thanks for enduring it this long.
	🥁 ♥ 2:27pm egould: ↳ Song: "I Want You" by "Pat" Pat can rhyme. Mostly.
	2:27pm asheville jon: This is freakin' awesome!
	♥ 2:28pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Song: "I Want You" by "Pat" This Pat track reminds me of Howie Thayer. Could it be?
	♥ 2:28pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "I Want You" by "Pat" He coulda opened for Suicide.
	🥁 ♥ 2:31pm egould: I feel like Pat and Misty may be in cahoots.
	2:31pm rw: :)
	2:32pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ egould @2:31 kissin' cousins, perhaps
	🥁 ♥ 2:32pm egould: ↳ Song: "Gimme Some Lovin'" by "Speed Turkey" Don't even try it Speed Turkey.!

	2:39pm Joe Shlabotnik: On his CD, he thanks all the people who let him use their showers.
	2:39pm Dean: I wonder if Bodhi Tree sold this Harry Perry CD?
	♥ 2:39pm Fuzzy: ↳ egould @2:37 I met him on the boardwalk back in '84-'85 Navy days...acoustic guitar and old-skool roller skates back then! I requested "Too much steak and chocolate cake" and he played it for me! ("Heads of Skin")

	♥ 2:43pm Fuzzy: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:41 Hello!
	🥁 ♥ 2:44pm egould: When I moved to Venice Beach in 93, there was another maniac that worked the boardwalk and Main Street. He wore all black and had big platform boots with metal plates and rivets all over. And a bunch of wires and tubes wrapped around his arms and legs. He walked around with an electric guitar playing blistering thrash riffs through a little amp mounted on his back. He was some sort of cyborg-thrash-human hybrid.
	♥ 2:46pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Evilways" by "Lloyd Lindroth" Far out.
	2:49pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ egould @2:44 awesome - wonder if he ever recorded

	2:52pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ Nick S. @2:52 This was a lounge band comprised of Swiss ski instructors.
	🥁 ♥ 2:53pm egould: ↳ Joe Shlabotnik @2:49 Ehhhh, I doubt it. He was pretty damaged in 93 and gone from the streets by 96. Speed casualty.

	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm egould: ↳ Song: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by "The Four Wishes" Sounds like it was recorded in a high school band room featuring the percussion line, and a couple saxes, some flutes. Definitely a marching band.
	12:30pm Dean: Psychedelic rock meets Canterbury sound meets Glen Danzig
	🥁 ♥ 12:32pm WR: ↳ Song: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by "The Four Wishes" sorta belly dance flavor to their version. More Tambourine!
	12:33pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ egould @12:30 Probably recorded at a wedding or supper club (or bowling alley). They were a lounge band.
	🥁 ♥ 12:34pm coelacanth∅: thank you Jim Morrison!
	12:34pm listener rick: ↳ Song: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by "The Four Wishes" Oh that was exquisite. Clearly the drummer was in a different room.

	♥ 12:45pm Tony Coulter: Greets, TDK60!
	🥁 ♥ 12:46pm coelacanth∅: my older brother had a 45 of a lounge-act-trying-to-sound-badass version of honky tonk woman but in a move i certainly approved of at the time but now regret, smashed it. too bad.
	♥ 12:47pm TDK60: Oh, we're down at the Holiday Inn nightclub?
	♥ 12:48pm Tony Coulter: ↳ TDK60 @12:47 May I take your drink order?
	🥁 ♥ 12:48pm David (in London): ↳ TDK60 @12:47 Yep, everyone's on their third martini, and the band are cooking. Literally, they're just finishing their shifts in the kitchen.

	🥁 ♥ 12:52pm egould: ↳ David (in London) @12:48 Hahah!
	🥁 ♥ 12:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @12:51 i feel a little out of place in my green corduroy flairs, polyester shirt and 5" wide tie

	♥ 12:55pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Holly!
	♥ 12:55pm HollyRT: Re "I won't last a day without you." I will ALWAYS associate this song with 8th grade--1982. I was in the "select" vocal ensemble and we did this and One Tine Soldier, among others, lol
	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:53 No way, Coela, you're looking sharp. The Zapata moustache is a nice touch, too.

	♥ 1:03pm HollyRT: ↳ Song: "Fire and Rain" by "The Gigolos" The backstory no one wanted or asked for.
	🥁 ♥ 1:04pm egould: ↳ HollyRT @1:03 Yeah what a bummer.
	🥁 ♥ 1:04pm wimpy: ↳ Song: "Fire and Rain" by "The Gigolos" The pathos…
	♥ 1:04pm HollyRT: No doubt the made for TV movie will star Robby Benson
	🥁 ♥ 1:05pm coelacanth∅: but from a critical perspective it was the highlight of the song
	♥ 1:07pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Fire and Rain" by "The Gigolos" I can't slow dance to this funky drummer.

	1:11pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ David (in London) @1:09 There should be. Every lounge comp included a version. Hopefully, there will also be a Shaft or three.

	🥁 ♥ 1:12pm WR: ↳ listener rick @1:11 studiogaryc.com...
	♥ 1:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ David (in London) @12:17 Just back from Denmark. The chain bakery Lagkagehuset may be the "lowest common denominator" of danish bakeries per the locals, but their carrot bun was a special thing to this particular rev.
	♥ 1:13pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @1:09 Sadly, we won't be visiting MacArthur Park today. Or getting Shafted. My apologies to Mr. Shlabotnik and David (in London).
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Knights in White Satin" by "Timepiece" adding their own special twist to the title
	♥ 1:20pm Tony Coulter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:18 Here they are: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 1:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:20 i thought they'd be on their horses, wearing armour
	🥁 ♥ 1:22pm egould: ↳ Song: "Spinning Wheel" by "The Specialists" I actually prefer this version to the original.
	1:23pm listener rick: ↳ Song: "Spinning Wheel" by "The Specialists" OK, that was merely awful until the bridge. Then it transcended into execrable.
	1:25pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ listener rick @1:23 The Specialists were very special.
	1:26pm Dean: Pirates Inn is now Carlucci's Waterfront.
	♥ 1:27pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Moondance" by "Vinnie Rome Trio" Oh yeah. This is too much fun
	🥁 ♥ 1:27pm egould: ↳ Song: "Moondance" by "Vinnie Rome Trio" RIP Vinnie Rome. www.legacy.com... I think Michael Shelley has discussed the Pirate Room at some point.
	♥ 1:29pm TDK60: Here's that new psychedelic groovy stuff. Lets' dance. By the way, what's your sign, Betty?

	🥁 ♥ 1:33pm billy joel∅: ↳ Song: "Sticking Needles Through Paper Doll Eyes" by "Pau... hey, it just may be a Looonatic you're looking for.
	1:35pm Dean: The address for Columbine Records puts it midway between TCL Chinese Theater and Musso & Frank Grill on Hollywood Blvd.
	1:38pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ Dean @1:35 as far as I could find out, they closed down by 2005 or 6. That's when the corporation was dissolved.
	♥ 1:39pm HollyRT: I wonder if Sidro's Armada was the original name of Rod Torfelson's Armada feat. Herman Menderchuk?
	🥁 ♥ 1:39pm egould: ↳ Song: "Spinning Wheel" by "The Specialists" Spinning Wheel just reminded of a humorous episode from 2016. Long story short, if you ever go to the Reno Room in Long Beach, CA do not play Spinning Wheel on the jukebox! I've seen two 70 year old drunks get in a fist fight over that song. At 6:30AM. The fight spilled out on to the sidewalk. One old drunk warned the other old drunk not to play Spinning Wheel. The guy didn't like the horns and the "circus music". The other drunk just couldn't help himself. Did I mention it was 6:30 in the morning? Fun times.
	1:39pm asheville jon: Sidro' s Armada! Hell yeah! Some great live shows on youtube
	🥁 ♥ 1:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park / This Guy's in Love with You" by ... don't let this guy have any sharp objects
	1:42pm Dean: Let's hope that after the Columbine C-suite wrapped up the business they headed to M&F for a martini or two.
	1:42pm listener rick: ↳ asheville jon @1:39 I saw them live, at Harrah's lounge in Reno. They wore matching outfits and the male and female frontmen did coordinated high kicks.
	🥁 ♥ 1:45pm egould: ↳ Song: "Love, Love" by "T.D.S. Productions" This guy is just making this up as it goes.
	♥ 1:45pm Asheville Jon: ↳ listener rick @1:42 that's awesome! they have fantastic matching outfits here: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 1:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ egould @1:39 that's probably happened at the local pub here, when the do not play hotel california sign is violated.
	♥ 1:48pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Sundown at Sea" by "Cal Andrews" Have I had a few too many white russians, or has the band?
	🥁 ♥ 1:52pm coelacanth∅: what a bizarre arrangement! - unforgettable even!
	1:53pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park / This Guy's in Love with You" by ... I have to chime in with a correction here. This wasn't Sidro but Tom Clay doing a medley of Mac Park (so, we did get one) & This Guy's in Love With You. Tom was a once famous DJ who was busted for payola with Alan Freed.
	1:54pm Joe Shlabotnik: ↳ TDK60 @1:48 Yes
	🥁 ♥ 1:54pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	🥁 ♥ 1:55pm doctorjazz: Looks like a fun playlist!
	1:55pm listener rick: ↳ Asheville Jon @1:45 I'll check it out, Jon. thanks!
	♥ 1:56pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Joe Shlabotnik @1:53 Aha -- thanks! Will correct the playlist in a sec.
	♥ 1:56pm Tony Coulter: ↳ doctorjazz @1:54 Hola, Dr. J!
	🥁 ♥ 1:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Mad Charles Love Theme" by "Uge" is this a sesame street character?
	♥ 2:00pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Joe Shlabotnik @1:53 Fixed the tracklist.
	2:00pm listener rick: ↳ Joe Shlabotnik @1:53 It did seem kinda low energy compared to the act I saw circa 1976.
	2:01pm Mike Cooper: Is this the musical torture hour?
	♥ 2:02pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Mike! I guess it is just that.
	♥ 2:02pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Dear Prudence" by "Speed Turkey" Who hired this hippy band?
	🥁 ♥ 2:05pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Angie" by "Lou Homyak" Tony Cliftonish
	🥁 ♥ 2:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Angie" by "Lou Homyak" Making me laugh...

He wore all black and had big platform boots with metal plates and rivets all over. And a bunch of wires and tubes wrapped around his arms and legs. He walked around with an electric guitar playing blistering thrash riffs through a little amp mounted on his back. He was some sort of cyborg-thrash-human hybrid.
