	11:07am clarke: ↳ Joe R. @11:06 uncanny resemblance!!
	11:08am Listener Baby: Baby! Foggy.
	♥ 11:08am pgalub: ↳ clarke @11:03 Many highlights, but got to see The Cleaners From Venus which was great!
	♥ 11:08am drr: ↳ Song: "Red Hot" by "Billy Lee Riley" Hey, we played this at the show last night!
	11:08am ledzeppelinsucks: Some The Tubes members lived in a house on Noriega 70s into 80s.
	11:08am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:08 wow! huge fan, here!
	11:09am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:08 speaking of, martin was posting some interesting behind-the-curtain vids on youtube, and now i can't find them???
	11:09am Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ Song: "Red Hot" by "Billy Lee Riley" no bad versions
	♥ 11:09am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Red Hot" by "Billy Lee Riley" You cannot make a record better than this. You can try, but it won't happen.
	♥ 11:09am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Red Hot" by "Billy Lee Riley" God, I love this song.
	11:10am clarke: ↳ drr @11:08 how was that? haven't been to checkpoint charlie's in decades! baseball stuff going on last nite.
	♥ 11:10am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ myron feld @11:09 Truth
	11:11am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:09 it's all there, maaan!
	11:12am ledzeppelinsucks: It will cost a dollar first is The Tubes lyric derived from the peep show near Columbus and Broadway where the woman was behind glass. There was a slot to pass money and have her do flashes or naughty things. I was there in about 1987.
	♥ 11:12am pgalub: ↳ clarke @11:09 I bought his book on recording and had him sign it. Haven't read it yet, but looks good.
	11:12am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:12 that is something i would like to read. also: who is in the rest of the band?
	11:13am PC77: Hallelujah brothers & sisters!
	♥ 11:15am pgalub: ↳ clarke @11:12 It was a young band from the town he's from. Name escapes me at the moment.
	11:15am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:15 ah, so he appropriated an existing combo! cool.
	11:15am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Soweto Gig" by "Hamilton Nzimande" This SLAPS!
	11:16am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:15 baby.... Baby..... BABY!!!!
	11:17am clarke: ↳ Song: "It Feels Good" by "NRBQ" The Voice
	11:17am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "It Feels Good" by "NRBQ" And speaking of Slapping! Tommy’s finest right here. His head is about to explode. So much tension.
	♥ 11:17am Christina Ginger: Good morning!
	♥ 11:18am pgalub: ↳ clarke @11:15 Indeed.
	11:18am clarke: howdy miss G!
	♥ 11:18am Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @11:18 ¡Hola¡
	♥ 11:18am Frank In Queens: HEY NOW!!
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:18 he shoots, he scores!!!
	11:20am clarke: LL was a foundation of my being!
	11:20am Scott from Boston: I wasn’t going to chat today, but you brought up Lancelot Link… awesome
	♥ 11:20am Frank In Queens: It was the 60s. EVERYONE made pop records!
	11:20am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Teaser" by "Lance Link And The Evolution Revolution" Two words, Baby. Tie in.
	11:20am Scott from Boston: It makes all the sense in the world
	♥ 11:21am Joey!: Mike, they got them to "talk" by giving them peanut butter.
	11:21am clarke: the ostensible reason that Lance was in a band was to be undercover and observe A.P.E.
	♥ 11:21am Christina Ginger: Well… there was so much monkey business on Get Smart, I’m sure they didn’t have to stretch their imaginations too far to write for the show.
	♥ 11:21am Craig the Electrician: Love Lancelot Link and The Secret Chimps!
	11:21am louis boon: Never heard of Lance Link but am very pleased to discover. Thanks M. Shelley!
	11:22am clarke: ↳ louis boon @11:21 best show ever!
	11:22am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Teaser" by "Lance Link And The Evolution Revolution" You didn’t mention they made #1 Hits!
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:22 without bruce dickinson!
	11:23am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:22 He was putting on his pants.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:23 like everyone else.
	♥ 11:23am drr: ↳ clarke @11:10 Fabulous show. One reason being the face-tattooed, voluble-to-the-point-of-babbling soundman did an amazing job. I never expected to have good sound at Checkpoints but this guy was a wizard. Plus he told me to turn the guitar up--that has never happened. Crowd was great, lots of F.Q. wanderers. We got a request to come play in San Diego. I got to defuse a confrontation between two women over a non-issue. Had a nice discussion with the bartender about whether you should be open about your salary with other workers (we both say yes). And we did "Red Hot".
	11:24am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Love You Save" by "Jackson 5" Nobody on this track knew what they were doing.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ drr @11:23 wow. the sound was always horrible in there. nice!
	11:25am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:24 how many hooks can one song have?
	♥ 11:25am ultradamno: I have a particular love for her (PH) solo album...as a horror fan, "Alone In The Dark" especially.
	♥ 11:26am Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @11:24 funny, for a track by "The Corporation"
	11:26am Listener Baby: I think this James J? Not Wilton? No?
	♥ 11:26am ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:25 Also, it's hard to imagine a singer calling an album "Don't Follow Me" these days.
	♥ 11:26am Dano59: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:25 nothing exceeds like excess!
	11:27am clarke: more hooks than a tackle-box
	♥ 11:28am Steve Del Sol: Does he wear silk pants?
	♥ 11:28am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Love You Save" by "Jackson 5" Madder Rose did a more restrained cover of The Love You Save
	♥ 11:29am drr: ↳ clarke @11:25 I know, last time we played there (a year ago) the soundman didn't show up and none of us could understand the crazy board they had, so the manager had to go get another simpler board from home. We had to do the mix ourselves.
	♥ 11:29am ultradamno: I saw Madder Rose once. Opened for Hole. I think they were better...it was hard not to be that night.
	11:29am Paul: Nick Lowe's Last Chicken In The Shop
	♥ 11:29am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Baby Let's Go Down To Bordeaux" by "Theo Lawrence" my first thought was boy this sounds better than most French rockabilly / then, since there's no Bordeaux, La. where the hell is it?
	11:30am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Love You Save" by "Jackson 5" Was indeed Wilton on Bass. Damn. The man wasn’t even the bass player in his own band.
	11:30am Rocker98: That would be Frenchabilly.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ drr @11:29 i did get a good live recording of the pendletons in there, once, with chilton helping me mix.
	11:31am Listener Baby: I would put Wilton Felder way up on the list of people I wish you would have interviewed, Baby.
	♥ 11:32am ultradamno: Pearl, dancing mastodon.social...
	♥ 11:33am drr: ↳ ultradamno @11:32 That is show business!
	♥ 11:33am Mailman Tom: I saw Rick Derringer play at the New York Festival for Peace in August 1970
	♥ 11:33am common: sucks that he turned out to be maga nuts
	♥ 11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" has been stuck in my head for a couple days, sadly.
	11:35am clarke: RIP Rick D
	♥ 11:35am ultradamno: Rock & Roll Hootchie Koo was a pretty big hit when I was a kid. Hang On Sloopy, obviously a garage rock staple
	♥ 11:35am Frank In Queens: Learned more about his production work as a result of his death. Rick was also a great guitar player. Here's a late one from The McCoys, pointing the way his musical progression would go: www.youtube.com...
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Song: "Something Warm" by "Rick Derringer" number ONE
	♥ 11:36am egould: ↳ Song: "Something Warm" by "Rick Derringer" Power pop!
	♥ 11:36am pgalub: Yay! Love this tune, and of course Todd's production.
	11:37am tonyb: Randy “Jo” Hobbs? Played with Johnny too.
	♥ 11:37am ultradamno: Although he became a crank himself I remember a blurb in Creem where he pissed off Ted Nugent by saying guitar rock was over...(and, for Ted, it pretty much was already)
	♥ 11:38am egould: ↳ ultradamno @11:37 Rick grew up in west central Ohio. Good stock.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:35 another RIP -- GbV live.
	11:39am DG: Not only was Derringer on Alex Jones's show, he was yet another guy who went MAGA guy after finding Jesus...of course. He also did a version of "Hang On Sloopy" for some anti-bullying campaign. Because being a Christian & being anti-bully is perfectly in line with supporting Orange Toddler Man. Yes another talented guy who joined the Dark Side. Hard to muster up sympathy here.
	♥ 11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:39 Yeah, that was no secret though. I heard that last year after the last show they did. Sorry I skipped the last few times they came to NYC. Had I known...
	11:40am Listener Baby: ↳ DG @11:39 100% spot on. Couldn’t have said it better.
	11:40am DG: ↳ common @11:33 Yes, totally agree. This seems to go along with, you know, becoming born again (well, not in Eric Carmen's case)....
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:39 yeah, i remember i heard it here, first! and the last time i saw 'em was too long ago.
	♥ 11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: Nobody's having camp fun quite like that cabaret scene in SF anymore.
	11:41am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:31 LETS GET A LIST GOING - who do I need to talk to... before it's too late...
	11:41am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:41 Great idea. John Simon comes to mind.
	11:42am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:41 Ive tried him
	♥ 11:42am common: ↳ DG @11:40 it does. so confounding
	♥ 11:42am egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:41 Rick Springfield
	♥ 11:43am egould: Kevin Cronin
	11:44am johnk77: thank u selecter just back from quick trip to northern california got to walk by several tubes-adjacent sites great american music hall 245 hyde street formerly wally heiders and california hall stayed 2 nights in tenderloin
	♥ 11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Drivin'" by "Pearl Harbor And The Explosions" This got very New Wave...almost No Wave!
	11:44am P-90: some very Andy Summers style rhythm guitar
	11:44am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Drivin'" by "Pearl Harbor And The Explosions" There was this short period when New Wave was nervey and really interesting. Josie Cotton, this, Split Enz. Then the machines came.
	11:45am DG: Maybe Marshall Crenshaw? Not about his own work, but I thought he was working on a doc. about Tom Wilson, the amazing producer who worked with the Velvets, Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, etc. His work is famous but he isn't.
	♥ 11:45am ultradamno: ↳ egould @11:43 I saw REO...absolutely awful...Nine Lives tour
	11:45am clarke: ↳ DG @11:45 he's been on a few times, i believe
	♥ 11:46am ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:45 I had kind of liked the double live as a kid, because of my aunt...but this was not that
	11:47am Listener Baby: Hey wait a minute! Jane Doorknocker is my bands name. What do I do now?
	♥ 11:48am egould: ↳ ultradamno @11:46 That album rocks.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:47 get some players.
	♥ 11:49am egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:41 Mick Jones (Clash, BAD)
	11:49am ChrisB.: Jane Dornacher became a traffic reporter in NYC. Perished in a helicopter crash.
	11:50am Listener Baby: ↳ ChrisB. @11:49 Whoa. Now wish I had not made that horrible joke.
	11:50am clarke: "to make things worse" ha ha
	♥ 11:52am egould: Bob Derwood Andrews (Gen X)
	11:52am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:42 I suspect you’ve tried 98% of the candidates
	11:52am johnk77: jane dornacker was very cool on-stage and off besides leila & the snakes and tubes she performed with other sf music & theatre weirdos like rick & ruby show
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Pearl Harbor" thank you, ma'am!!
	♥ 11:54am myron feld: ↳ Listener Baby @11:50 She also co-wrote "Don't Touch Me There."
	♥ 11:54am listener phat in Lincoln: This interview is great
	11:55am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:54 did not know that - good writing!
	11:55am Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @11:42 YEAH
	11:56am Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @11:42 SPEAKING OF: currycuts.bandcamp.com...
	11:56am Listener Baby: A memorial concert in celebration of Dornacker took place at The Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on Saturday, November 22, 1986, with performers including Jerry Garcia, The Tubes, Bobcat Goldthwait, Jeremy Kramer, Sluts a Go Go, Carol Doda and Dennis Quaid. A memorial to Dornacker is located in Wayne, New Jersey, where she was living at the time of her death.
	♥ 11:56am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Pearl Harbor" yeah, Kahne was pretty tough on the Bangles
	11:57am rx "rexy" scabin: Hello, Michael and Everyone.
	♥ 12:02pm drr: ↳ Dano59 @11:56 Lamed up their sound, too.He did make Fishbone sound good.
	♥ 12:02pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Listener Baby @11:44 The Motels
	♥ 12:03pm Mxter Baba: Holy wow, Pearl Harbor!!! So great to hear her tales.
	♥ 12:04pm ultradamno: Kind of hard to fuck up with them though, Fishbone were so fully formed
	12:04pm Listener Baby: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:02 Agree Frank. There were many. But it changed quickly. See: The Thompson Twins
	♥ 12:05pm Dano59: ↳ drr @12:02 agree on that first part - '80s production vs. their more organic, timeless instincts
	12:06pm clarke: ugh, poor thing. fight on!
	♥ 12:06pm Haroun: I remember seeing Pearl Harbor & The Explosions at the Showplace in Dover.
	♥ 12:06pm egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:56 I see a Juniper song on there. Is that Juniper, Juniper?
	♥ 12:06pm Mxter Baba: So glad you’re doing well, Pearl.
	♥ 12:07pm Dano59: she sounds upbeat and about 20 years younger than her age -- young at heart
	12:07pm Listener Baby: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:02 Fingerprintz is a great example to a nervey New Wave band, that could rock like mad.
	♥ 12:07pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:26 www.discogs.com...
	12:08pm sally: Hi Pearl, So good to hear you. Such fond memories of you.Liberation hall is great.
	12:08pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:06 I believe so!
	12:09pm clarke: nice chat - number one.
	♥ 12:09pm egould: ↳ egould @12:06 Never mind. I clicked through. Good song. The bass was a little weak, though. ;)
	♥ 12:09pm drr: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Pearl Harbor" That was a super interview.
	♥ 12:09pm Mxter Baba: First time I saw Pearl Harbor was when she performed with the queer camp band, Enrique, at the Haight Street Fair. The New Government was THE place to be fabulously anacronistic.
	♥ 12:09pm ultradamno: ↳ Listener Baby @12:07 Remember Nervus Rex? One album and out, but pretty good
	♥ 12:09pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:07 and US indies like Blotto; Dow Jones & the Industrials; The Beatles Costello ...
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Song: "You Got It (Release It)" by "Pearl Harbor And The... must confess: never heard this. very nice!
	12:10pm P-90: another cool interview!
	♥ 12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:10 Same and I agree
	12:10pm Listener Baby: ↳ Dano59 @12:09 Like I said. There were many. They all got hit by an asteroid.
	♥ 12:10pm 2/3 of the Perrin Family: ↳ Song: "You Got It (Release It)" by "Pearl Harbor And The... Interview was great and real! this was my ecstatic replay college feel good song!
	♥ 12:11pm Dano59: ↳ Dano59 @12:09 hell, i still like the M'n'Ms and Dawn Chorus & the Blue Tits
	♥ 12:11pm drr: I liked hearing David Kahne was a jerk because it confirmed my suspicion that he was the avatar of the producer who ruins bands' sound in the interest of "sweetening" it for radio.
	♥ 12:12pm listener phat in Lincoln: There was a really interesting study done about how records become hits a few years ago. It's largely what you might think: random and such.
	♥ 12:12pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:10 I'm thankful for the fossil record / Rhino / CD & Internet revolutiions - I'm still discovering stuff from the '60s to '90s - quality stuff is endless.
	♥ 12:12pm egould: The cool 60’s spelling.
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Song: "You Must Believe Me" by "Inn Crowd, The" yes!!!!
	♥ 12:13pm Dano59: ↳ drr @12:11 I wondered if him making Debbi Peterson cry was the one Michael heard
	12:14pm clarke: there was a club near lsu in baton rouge called The Common Ground - and also a place under the perkins road overpass called The Colonel's Club - two dens of inequity!
	♥ 12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: When I travel I try to find 45s of old local or regional bands. I've had some good luck
	12:15pm Jim from Tranquility: I saw on the news that Taylor swift bought back the rights to her catalog of songs. Great that she has the wherewithal to do that but what about all those artists that got screwed over the years getting nothing or very little for their music.
	♥ 12:15pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:14 I spent a weekend in Baton Rouge. Don’t remember much about it. Drugs and alcohol.
	12:16pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "North Side Gal" by "Alison Krauss And Union Station" See Allison play in any incarnation. She is mega great.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:15 those clubs are long defunct. there were other dens that came along.
	♥ 12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: My Confucius quotes app just sent me this: "The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell." ~ Confucius
	♥ 12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: Seemed timely...
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:15 i spent a weekend in baton rouge, for most of college.
	♥ 12:18pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:17 Haha!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:18 college gave me an "unpaid vacation", once.
	♥ 12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:19 Same
	12:20pm clarke: i like bbq.
	♥ 12:20pm ultradamno: Had an Al Pastor burrito from the stand down the street from my house the other day...not bbq, but marinated pork...so fucking good. If Trump deports these people, I riot.
	12:20pm clarke: !!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:21pm DG: Even though Pearl H's album came out when I was a college DJ, don't think I saw her then. Years later (like '94 or so?) I was visiting a friend in San Franciso & saw her (I guess a different band from the Explosions) at a club, maybe Slim's? (some SF people might know if that's still around)...at a party for the SF Bay Guardian. Also have "Busy Little B-side" on this punk sampler WB put out years ago....glad to see they included it on the reissue.
	♥ 12:21pm drr: ↳ Song: "Bar-B-Q" by "Wendy Rene" The clappers are getting closer to the beat, good job.
	12:21pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Bar-B-Q" by "Wendy Rene" Key change you could drive a truck through
	♥ 12:21pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Bar-B-Q" by "Wendy Rene" Wendy is favorite...After Laughter too, that amounts to legend in my mind.
	♥ 12:21pm drr: Hal David-level lyrics.
	♥ 12:22pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @12:21 Ha!
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Song: "I Ain't Got Nobody" by "Les Paul And Mary Ford" mary ford - la la.
	12:22pm Squeaky Dave: Wendy Renee’s brother is pretty amazing too…
	♥ 12:22pm drr: ↳ drr @12:21 (The Bar-B-Q one.)
	♥ 12:22pm ultradamno: Mary Ford could have been bigger than Patsy
	12:23pm Rex: ↳ Song: "Bar-B-Q" by "Wendy Rene" Welcome to the meat team, Michael!
	12:23pm Scott in Denver: This sounds like the first "auto tune" song.
	♥ 12:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: Les Paul, to this day, in my mind, had the prettiest guitar tone.
	♥ 12:24pm egould: Less Paul, more Mary!
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:24 he had a good thing!
	♥ 12:25pm ultradamno: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:24 Oh, absolutely pristine.
	♥ 12:26pm Mark T: ↳ Song: "I Think I Fell In Love Today" by "John Paul Keith" A fun song.
	12:27pm clarke: or change his last name to george first.
	♥ 12:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ ultradamno @12:25 Reminds me of Arto Lindsey on David Byrne's self-titled. I live for that sound.
	♥ 12:27pm ultradamno: Also, just because I'm excited about it, Eater 'lost sessions' ep up for pre-order eateruk.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 12:28pm listener phat in Lincoln: Maybe I'll take a road trip to Chicago for NRBQ. I've never seen them.
	♥ 12:28pm Squeaky Dave: ↳ Squeaky Dave @12:22 youtu.be...
	12:28pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Lemon Twigs, The" You just had to rub it in.
	12:28pm Giant man: This stuff just sounds way to close to Todd for me
	♥ 12:29pm egould: ↳ ultradamno @12:27 Nice.
	12:29pm Giant man: And I love Todd but
	12:29pm Scott in Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:28 I was really surprised how much NRBQ popped up in the book on The Replacements.
	♥ 12:29pm drr: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Lemon Twigs, The" I think this is the only LT release I don't have. And it's got everything that made them great. :(
	12:30pm clarke: uh, YEAH!!!!
	♥ 12:30pm egould: Thanks Michael. Thanks Pearl. Gotta’ split for brunch plans. Have a good weekend everyone!
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:29 they were huge fans.
	♥ 12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:29 I need to read that book.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:30 l8r
	♥ 12:32pm ultradamno: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:29 I saw Replacements once without meaning to. There was a show at a vintage store called Modern Times in Indianapolis. They were there, calling themselves Bert, as drunk as any band I've ever seen (on a Sunday, which is dry in Indianapolis)
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Giant man @12:28 I see that as a good thing...
	12:36pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Someone to Love" by "Fountains of Wayne" Would I be right to think this is a Chris song?
	12:37pm DG: ↳ ultradamno @12:32 I saw them 2x the same way; first opening for Keith Richards at a NJ arena (the Stones had sorta broken up & had never seen them then, figured this was the closest I'd get to a Stones show), then opening for Costello at the Garden a few years later. I don't remember them being that great but arenas weren't really the best venues for them.
	♥ 12:38pm Handy Haversack: Hey, MS, all! Been digging the show!
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 it must be exhausting!
	♥ 12:39pm Pedro in Arlington: Bought a yard sale copy of Born in the USA for 20 cents this morning. When will you be remixing it, Michael? Maybe Columbia will give me an exchange.
	12:40pm tonyb: Saw the Elvis/Replacements gig at MSG. Paul: “Madison Shit Garden. So this is the big time.”
	♥ 12:40pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:36 oh probably - the pop culture references are a tell
	♥ 12:41pm VantuckyEd: Isn't the name of that song C. C. Rider? like in the movie.
	12:43pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:39 Day 1 - make all snare drums sound like snare drums
	12:43pm Michael Shelley: ↳ tonyb @12:40 Me too - in nosebleeds
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ VantuckyEd @12:41 i'm pretty sure it came from an old folk tune called I Know You Rider, which morphed into See My Rider... and so forth.
	♥ 12:45pm drr: ↳ Listener Baby @12:36 I've pondered your question, and my answer is I don't know.
	♥ 12:45pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Listener Baby @12:36 I remember Traffic and Weather was done at a time when Chris was having some issues. I know Jody says he and Adam basically did the album. Might be one Chris-written song on it but unlikely it's Someone to Love.
	♥ 12:46pm drr: Joe Namath spelled it C.C. Ryder is the 1970 masterpiece C.C. and Company.
	12:47pm tonyb: We snuck row C for the Replacements. Got kicked back to the mixing board for Costello.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Song: "I Don't Know (alt version)" by "Replacements, The" turn up any time, now!
	♥ 12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: Woody Woodmansey snare all day long!
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 ^^^^^^^
	12:49pm Scott in Denver: I really didn't get anything out of that re-release of Let It Be. I felt it was somewhat sacrilegious to mess with the original. Then again I'm not a sound guy.
	12:49pm Dave V: Great interview w/ Pearl! I'm reading more interviews with her online now.
	12:51pm Andres: We got garages. My friends rocked basements and attics during the cold months.
	♥ 12:51pm ultradamno: ↳ Dave V @12:49 Yeah. Greatly appreciated. To more better health for her.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:49 i guess the 'reason' for it, was that the transfer to cd was so brittle the first time??
	♥ 12:53pm ultradamno: What kind of monsters mock a person over clementines?
	♥ 12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: Clementines are awful!
	12:54pm Andres: Tangerines are where it’s at.
	12:54pm Scott in Denver: Great show MS! Thx!
	12:54pm clarke: don't make me reach into that backseat!!
	♥ 12:55pm ultradamno: Tangelos, baby
	♥ 12:55pm Mister Dobalina: ↳ ultradamno @12:53 I was thinking the same thing. But I think you got you're answer from Listener Lincoln. I love Cuties, manderines .
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie" by "Quebe Sisters, The" It's great to hear music like this is still being made! And Mary Ford used to stack all these parts herself, she is so underrated as a singer yet she was one of the best with a terrific ear for harmony. Good stuff!
	♥ 12:56pm ultradamno: ↳ Mister Dobalina @12:55 PERFIDY!
	♥ 12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: Clementines also remind me of an ex who always bought them. I never liked them, but she made that more obvious. Lol.
	12:56pm clarke: rope managed to be moved without Rev, Hughie, and Squints!!
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	♥ 12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: I may move some rope at my new part time job in a couple hours...
	12:57pm clarke: are you familiar with OAK?
	♥ 12:58pm ultradamno: By the way, anyone needing the next hour filled, MHLee came off with a whole Big Joe Turner ep on Sheena's wfmu.org...
	12:58pm clarke: good nite.
	♥ 12:58pm drr: Clicky-starred every song on this show except the ones where I left the room and didn't hear them.
	♥ 12:59pm Frank In Queens: Cheers Michael! Great show.
	♥ 12:59pm ultradamno: ↳ drr @12:58 I click them anyway...I'm a clickslut
	1:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: Les Paul, to this day, is the prettiest guitar tone.

	11:23am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:23 like everyone else.
	♥ 11:23am drr: ↳ clarke @11:10 Fabulous show. One reason being the face-tattooed, voluble-to-the-point-of-babbling soundman did an amazing job. I never expected to have good sound at Checkpoints but this guy was a wizard. Plus he told me to turn the guitar up--that has never happened. Crowd was great, lots of F.Q. wanderers. We got a request to come play in San Diego. I got to defuse a confrontation between two women over a non-issue. Had a nice discussion with the bartender about whether you should be open about your salary with other workers (we both say yes). And we did "Red Hot".

	♥ 11:26am ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:25 Also, it's hard to imagine a singer calling an album "Don't Follow Me" these days.
	♥ 11:26am Dano59: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:25 nothing exceeds like excess!
	11:27am clarke: more hooks than a tackle-box
	♥ 11:28am Steve Del Sol: Does he wear silk pants?
	♥ 11:28am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Love You Save" by "Jackson 5" Madder Rose did a more restrained cover of The Love You Save
	♥ 11:29am drr: ↳ clarke @11:25 I know, last time we played there (a year ago) the soundman didn't show up and none of us could understand the crazy board they had, so the manager had to go get another simpler board from home. We had to do the mix ourselves.
	♥ 11:29am ultradamno: I saw Madder Rose once. Opened for Hole. I think they were better...it was hard not to be that night.
	11:29am Paul: Nick Lowe's Last Chicken In The Shop
	♥ 11:29am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Baby Let's Go Down To Bordeaux" by "Theo Lawrence" my first thought was boy this sounds better than most French rockabilly / then, since there's no Bordeaux, La. where the hell is it?
	11:30am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Love You Save" by "Jackson 5" Was indeed Wilton on Bass. Damn. The man wasn’t even the bass player in his own band.
	11:30am Rocker98: That would be Frenchabilly.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ drr @11:29 i did get a good live recording of the pendletons in there, once, with chilton helping me mix.
	11:31am Listener Baby: I would put Wilton Felder way up on the list of people I wish you would have interviewed, Baby.
	♥ 11:32am ultradamno: Pearl, dancing mastodon.social...
	♥ 11:33am drr: ↳ ultradamno @11:32 That is show business!
	♥ 11:33am Mailman Tom: I saw Rick Derringer play at the New York Festival for Peace in August 1970
	♥ 11:33am common: sucks that he turned out to be maga nuts
	♥ 11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" has been stuck in my head for a couple days, sadly.
	11:35am clarke: RIP Rick D
	♥ 11:35am ultradamno: Rock & Roll Hootchie Koo was a pretty big hit when I was a kid. Hang On Sloopy, obviously a garage rock staple
	♥ 11:35am Frank In Queens: Learned more about his production work as a result of his death. Rick was also a great guitar player. Here's a late one from The McCoys, pointing the way his musical progression would go: www.youtube.com...
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Song: "Something Warm" by "Rick Derringer" number ONE
	♥ 11:36am egould: ↳ Song: "Something Warm" by "Rick Derringer" Power pop!
	♥ 11:36am pgalub: Yay! Love this tune, and of course Todd's production.
	11:37am tonyb: Randy “Jo” Hobbs? Played with Johnny too.
	♥ 11:37am ultradamno: Although he became a crank himself I remember a blurb in Creem where he pissed off Ted Nugent by saying guitar rock was over...(and, for Ted, it pretty much was already)
	♥ 11:38am egould: ↳ ultradamno @11:37 Rick grew up in west central Ohio. Good stock.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:35 another RIP -- GbV live.
	11:39am DG: Not only was Derringer on Alex Jones's show, he was yet another guy who went MAGA guy after finding Jesus...of course. He also did a version of "Hang On Sloopy" for some anti-bullying campaign. Because being a Christian & being anti-bully is perfectly in line with supporting Orange Toddler Man. Yes another talented guy who joined the Dark Side. Hard to muster up sympathy here.
	♥ 11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:39 Yeah, that was no secret though. I heard that last year after the last show they did. Sorry I skipped the last few times they came to NYC. Had I known...
	11:40am Listener Baby: ↳ DG @11:39 100% spot on. Couldn’t have said it better.
	11:40am DG: ↳ common @11:33 Yes, totally agree. This seems to go along with, you know, becoming born again (well, not in Eric Carmen's case)....
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:39 yeah, i remember i heard it here, first! and the last time i saw 'em was too long ago.
	♥ 11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: Nobody's having camp fun quite like that cabaret scene in SF anymore.
	11:41am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:31 LETS GET A LIST GOING - who do I need to talk to... before it's too late...
	11:41am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:41 Great idea. John Simon comes to mind.
	11:42am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:41 Ive tried him

	♥ 11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Drivin'" by "Pearl Harbor And The Explosions" This got very New Wave...almost No Wave!
	11:44am P-90: some very Andy Summers style rhythm guitar
	11:44am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Drivin'" by "Pearl Harbor And The Explosions" There was this short period when New Wave was nervey and really interesting. Josie Cotton, this, Split Enz. Then the machines came.
	11:45am DG: Maybe Marshall Crenshaw? Not about his own work, but I thought he was working on a doc. about Tom Wilson, the amazing producer who worked with the Velvets, Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, etc. His work is famous but he isn't.
	♥ 11:45am ultradamno: ↳ egould @11:43 I saw REO...absolutely awful...Nine Lives tour
	11:45am clarke: ↳ DG @11:45 he's been on a few times, i believe
	♥ 11:46am ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:45 I had kind of liked the double live as a kid, because of my aunt...but this was not that
	11:47am Listener Baby: Hey wait a minute! Jane Doorknocker is my bands name. What do I do now?
	♥ 11:48am egould: ↳ ultradamno @11:46 That album rocks.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:47 get some players.
	♥ 11:49am egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:41 Mick Jones (Clash, BAD)
	11:49am ChrisB.: Jane Dornacher became a traffic reporter in NYC. Perished in a helicopter crash.
	11:50am Listener Baby: ↳ ChrisB. @11:49 Whoa. Now wish I had not made that horrible joke.
	11:50am clarke: "to make things worse" ha ha
	♥ 11:52am egould: Bob Derwood Andrews (Gen X)
	11:52am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:42 I suspect you’ve tried 98% of the candidates
	11:52am johnk77: jane dornacker was very cool on-stage and off besides leila & the snakes and tubes she performed with other sf music & theatre weirdos like rick & ruby show
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Pearl Harbor" thank you, ma'am!!

A memorial to Dornacker is located in Wayne, New Jersey, where she was living at the time of her death.
	♥ 11:56am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Pearl Harbor" yeah, Kahne was pretty tough on the Bangles
	11:57am rx "rexy" scabin: Hello, Michael and Everyone.
	♥ 12:02pm drr: ↳ Dano59 @11:56 Lamed up their sound, too.He did make Fishbone sound good.
	♥ 12:02pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Listener Baby @11:44 The Motels
	♥ 12:03pm Mxter Baba: Holy wow, Pearl Harbor!!! So great to hear her tales.
	♥ 12:04pm ultradamno: Kind of hard to fuck up with them though, Fishbone were so fully formed
	12:04pm Listener Baby: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:02 Agree Frank. There were many. But it changed quickly. See: The Thompson Twins
	♥ 12:05pm Dano59: ↳ drr @12:02 agree on that first part - '80s production vs. their more organic, timeless instincts
	12:06pm clarke: ugh, poor thing. fight on!
	♥ 12:06pm Haroun: I remember seeing Pearl Harbor & The Explosions at the Showplace in Dover.
	♥ 12:06pm egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:56 I see a Juniper song on there. Is that Juniper, Juniper?
	♥ 12:06pm Mxter Baba: So glad you’re doing well, Pearl.
	♥ 12:07pm Dano59: she sounds upbeat and about 20 years younger than her age -- young at heart
	12:07pm Listener Baby: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:02 Fingerprintz is a great example to a nervey New Wave band, that could rock like mad.
	♥ 12:07pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:26 www.discogs.com...
	12:08pm sally: Hi Pearl, So good to hear you. Such fond memories of you.Liberation hall is great.
	12:08pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:06 I believe so!
	12:09pm clarke: nice chat - number one.
	♥ 12:09pm egould: ↳ egould @12:06 Never mind. I clicked through. Good song. The bass was a little weak, though. ;)
	♥ 12:09pm drr: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Pearl Harbor" That was a super interview.
	♥ 12:09pm Mxter Baba: First time I saw Pearl Harbor was when she performed with the queer camp band, Enrique, at the Haight Street Fair. The New Government was THE place to be fabulously anacronistic.
	♥ 12:09pm ultradamno: ↳ Listener Baby @12:07 Remember Nervus Rex? One album and out, but pretty good
	♥ 12:09pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:07 and US indies like Blotto; Dow Jones & the Industrials; The Beatles Costello ...

	12:10pm P-90: another cool interview!
	♥ 12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:10 Same and I agree
	12:10pm Listener Baby: ↳ Dano59 @12:09 Like I said. There were many. They all got hit by an asteroid.
	♥ 12:10pm 2/3 of the Perrin Family: ↳ Song: "You Got It (Release It)" by "Pearl Harbor And The... Interview was great and real! this was my ecstatic replay college feel good song!
	♥ 12:11pm Dano59: ↳ Dano59 @12:09 hell, i still like the M'n'Ms and Dawn Chorus & the Blue Tits
	♥ 12:11pm drr: I liked hearing David Kahne was a jerk because it confirmed my suspicion that he was the avatar of the producer who ruins bands' sound in the interest of "sweetening" it for radio.
	♥ 12:12pm listener phat in Lincoln: There was a really interesting study done about how records become hits a few years ago. It's largely what you might think: random and such.
	♥ 12:12pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:10 I'm thankful for the fossil record / Rhino / CD & Internet revolutiions - I'm still discovering stuff from the '60s to '90s - quality stuff is endless.
	♥ 12:12pm egould: The cool 60’s spelling.
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Song: "You Must Believe Me" by "Inn Crowd, The" yes!!!!
	♥ 12:13pm Dano59: ↳ drr @12:11 I wondered if him making Debbi Peterson cry was the one Michael heard
	12:14pm clarke: there was a club near lsu in baton rouge called The Common Ground - and also a place under the perkins road overpass called The Colonel's Club - two dens of inequity!
	♥ 12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: When I travel I try to find 45s of old local or regional bands. I've had some good luck
	12:15pm Jim from Tranquility: I saw on the news that Taylor swift bought back the rights to her catalog of songs. Great that she has the wherewithal to do that but what about all those artists that got screwed over the years getting nothing or very little for their music.
	♥ 12:15pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:14 I spent a weekend in Baton Rouge. Don’t remember much about it. Drugs and alcohol.
	12:16pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "North Side Gal" by "Alison Krauss And Union Station" See Allison play in any incarnation. She is mega great.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:15 those clubs are long defunct. there were other dens that came along.
	♥ 12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: My Confucius quotes app just sent me this: "The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell." ~ Confucius
	♥ 12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: Seemed timely...
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:15 i spent a weekend in baton rouge, for most of college.
	♥ 12:18pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:17 Haha!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:18 college gave me an "unpaid vacation", once.
	♥ 12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:19 Same
	12:20pm clarke: i like bbq.
	♥ 12:20pm ultradamno: Had an Al Pastor burrito from the stand down the street from my house the other day...not bbq, but marinated pork...so fucking good. If Trump deports these people, I riot.
	12:20pm clarke: !!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:21pm DG: Even though Pearl H's album came out when I was a college DJ, don't think I saw her then. Years later (like '94 or so?) I was visiting a friend in San Franciso & saw her (I guess a different band from the Explosions) at a club, maybe Slim's? (some SF people might know if that's still around)...at a party for the SF Bay Guardian. Also have "Busy Little B-side" on this punk sampler WB put out years ago....glad to see they included it on the reissue.
	♥ 12:21pm drr: ↳ Song: "Bar-B-Q" by "Wendy Rene" The clappers are getting closer to the beat, good job.
	12:21pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Bar-B-Q" by "Wendy Rene" Key change you could drive a truck through
	♥ 12:21pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Bar-B-Q" by "Wendy Rene" Wendy is favorite...After Laughter too, that amounts to legend in my mind.
	♥ 12:21pm drr: Hal David-level lyrics.
	♥ 12:22pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @12:21 Ha!
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Song: "I Ain't Got Nobody" by "Les Paul And Mary Ford" mary ford - la la.
	12:22pm Squeaky Dave: Wendy Renee’s brother is pretty amazing too…
	♥ 12:22pm drr: ↳ drr @12:21 (The Bar-B-Q one.)
	♥ 12:22pm ultradamno: Mary Ford could have been bigger than Patsy
	12:23pm Rex: ↳ Song: "Bar-B-Q" by "Wendy Rene" Welcome to the meat team, Michael!
	12:23pm Scott in Denver: This sounds like the first "auto tune" song.
	♥ 12:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: Les Paul, to this day, in my mind, had the prettiest guitar tone.
	♥ 12:24pm egould: Less Paul, more Mary!
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:24 he had a good thing!
	♥ 12:25pm ultradamno: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:24 Oh, absolutely pristine.
	♥ 12:26pm Mark T: ↳ Song: "I Think I Fell In Love Today" by "John Paul Keith" A fun song.
	12:27pm clarke: or change his last name to george first.
	♥ 12:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ ultradamno @12:25 Reminds me of Arto Lindsey on David Byrne's self-titled. I live for that sound.
	♥ 12:27pm ultradamno: Also, just because I'm excited about it, Eater 'lost sessions' ep up for pre-order eateruk.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 12:28pm listener phat in Lincoln: Maybe I'll take a road trip to Chicago for NRBQ. I've never seen them.
	♥ 12:28pm Squeaky Dave: ↳ Squeaky Dave @12:22 youtu.be...
	12:28pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Lemon Twigs, The" You just had to rub it in.
	12:28pm Giant man: This stuff just sounds way to close to Todd for me
	♥ 12:29pm egould: ↳ ultradamno @12:27 Nice.
	12:29pm Giant man: And I love Todd but
	12:29pm Scott in Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:28 I was really surprised how much NRBQ popped up in the book on The Replacements.
	♥ 12:29pm drr: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Lemon Twigs, The" I think this is the only LT release I don't have. And it's got everything that made them great. :(
	12:30pm clarke: uh, YEAH!!!!
	♥ 12:30pm egould: Thanks Michael. Thanks Pearl. Gotta’ split for brunch plans. Have a good weekend everyone!
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:29 they were huge fans.
	♥ 12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:29 I need to read that book.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:30 l8r
	♥ 12:32pm ultradamno: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:29 I saw Replacements once without meaning to. There was a show at a vintage store called Modern Times in Indianapolis. They were there, calling themselves Bert, as drunk as any band I've ever seen (on a Sunday, which is dry in Indianapolis)
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Giant man @12:28 I see that as a good thing...
	12:36pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Someone to Love" by "Fountains of Wayne" Would I be right to think this is a Chris song?
	12:37pm DG: ↳ ultradamno @12:32 I saw them 2x the same way; first opening for Keith Richards at a NJ arena (the Stones had sorta broken up & had never seen them then, figured this was the closest I'd get to a Stones show), then opening for Costello at the Garden a few years later. I don't remember them being that great but arenas weren't really the best venues for them.
	♥ 12:38pm Handy Haversack: Hey, MS, all! Been digging the show!
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 it must be exhausting!
	♥ 12:39pm Pedro in Arlington: Bought a yard sale copy of Born in the USA for 20 cents this morning. When will you be remixing it, Michael? Maybe Columbia will give me an exchange.
	12:40pm tonyb: Saw the Elvis/Replacements gig at MSG. Paul: “Madison Shit Garden. So this is the big time.”
	♥ 12:40pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:36 oh probably - the pop culture references are a tell
	♥ 12:41pm VantuckyEd: Isn't the name of that song C. C. Rider? like in the movie.
	12:43pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:39 Day 1 - make all snare drums sound like snare drums
	12:43pm Michael Shelley: ↳ tonyb @12:40 Me too - in nosebleeds
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ VantuckyEd @12:41 i'm pretty sure it came from an old folk tune called I Know You Rider, which morphed into See My Rider... and so forth.
	♥ 12:45pm drr: ↳ Listener Baby @12:36 I've pondered your question, and my answer is I don't know.
	♥ 12:45pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Listener Baby @12:36 I remember Traffic and Weather was done at a time when Chris was having some issues. I know Jody says he and Adam basically did the album. Might be one Chris-written song on it but unlikely it's Someone to Love.
	♥ 12:46pm drr: Joe Namath spelled it C.C. Ryder is the 1970 masterpiece C.C. and Company.
	12:47pm tonyb: We snuck row C for the Replacements. Got kicked back to the mixing board for Costello.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Song: "I Don't Know (alt version)" by "Replacements, The" turn up any time, now!
	♥ 12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: Woody Woodmansey snare all day long!
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 ^^^^^^^
	12:49pm Scott in Denver: I really didn't get anything out of that re-release of Let It Be. I felt it was somewhat sacrilegious to mess with the original. Then again I'm not a sound guy.
	12:49pm Dave V: Great interview w/ Pearl! I'm reading more interviews with her online now.
	12:51pm Andres: We got garages. My friends rocked basements and attics during the cold months.
	♥ 12:51pm ultradamno: ↳ Dave V @12:49 Yeah. Greatly appreciated. To more better health for her.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:49 i guess the 'reason' for it, was that the transfer to cd was so brittle the first time??
	♥ 12:53pm ultradamno: What kind of monsters mock a person over clementines?
	♥ 12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: Clementines are awful!
	12:54pm Andres: Tangerines are where it’s at.
	12:54pm Scott in Denver: Great show MS! Thx!
	12:54pm clarke: don't make me reach into that backseat!!
	♥ 12:55pm ultradamno: Tangelos, baby
	♥ 12:55pm Mister Dobalina: ↳ ultradamno @12:53 I was thinking the same thing. But I think you got you're answer from Listener Lincoln. I love Cuties, manderines .
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie" by "Quebe Sisters, The" It's great to hear music like this is still being made! And Mary Ford used to stack all these parts herself, she is so underrated as a singer yet she was one of the best with a terrific ear for harmony. Good stuff!
	♥ 12:56pm ultradamno: ↳ Mister Dobalina @12:55 PERFIDY!
	♥ 12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: Clementines also remind me of an ex who always bought them. I never liked them, but she made that more obvious. Lol.
	12:56pm clarke: rope managed to be moved without Rev, Hughie, and Squints!!
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	♥ 12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: I may move some rope at my new part time job in a couple hours...
	12:57pm clarke: are you familiar with OAK?
	♥ 12:58pm ultradamno: By the way, anyone needing the next hour filled, MHLee came off with a whole Big Joe Turner ep on Sheena's wfmu.org...
	12:58pm clarke: good nite.
	♥ 12:58pm drr: Clicky-starred every song on this show except the ones where I left the room and didn't hear them.
	♥ 12:59pm Frank In Queens: Cheers Michael! Great show.
	♥ 12:59pm ultradamno: ↳ drr @12:58 I click them anyway...I'm a clickslut
	1:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: Les Paul, to this day, is the prettiest guitar tone.
