	♥ 11:19am David L.: ↳ Song: "The Cat" by "Jimmy Smith" Yes!! This was one of those records that my jazz-inclined friends and I found in high school and blasted endlessly. Arrangements are totally over-the-top, but so fun and vibey.
	♥ 11:21am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:19 AGAIN with the red paint.
	11:21am Cooh John: clarke, you and my sister were the only ones to spot the typo. I corrected Sheila B as well. I told her my kids will tell you I am not cool.
	♥ 11:21am Frank In Queens: The Zombies movie was good. My only complaint is the kind of glazed over everything from their two early massive hits to Odessey And Oracle.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Cooh John @11:21 my name gets misspelled all de toime.
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:21 he's very cleen, y'know?
	11:22am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "High On Love" by "Ronny Dawson" Oh shit. So amazing!
	11:23am jg: Keep not finding NYT obit for LaloSchiffrin. Annoying how dumb they are in that they’ve got obits of clearly lesser figures, like the guy who played Cletus on Dukes of Hazzard ( nothing against him )
	♥ 11:24am Squints: ↳ jg @11:23 Cletus? Or Cooter? Or Enos?
	11:25am Mr. Jones: ↳ Squints @11:24 yes

	11:29am clarke: hello gregory!!!!!
	11:30am P-90: Carol Kaye just feels that she’s very misunderstood, because she really is very misunderstood.
	11:30am Cooh John: Perked up when I heard "Colunbus".
	11:30am Michael Shelley: ↳ garlic Rob @11:27 My dad was a daily track goer... I have been many hundreds of times...
	♥ 11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Under The Spell Of City Lights" by "JD McPherson" What a goddamn chorus.
	11:30am Marie in Chicago: Hey Michael, hey everybody. Happy Saturday!
	11:30am Moammar: Checked out "Funny Pages" last night. Top 5 New Jersey movie, and Dave the Spazz and his show turn up as part of the aural landscape.
	11:30am garlic Rob: You claim the horse before he runs
	11:31am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:30 check out Hoboken Jack's review of Friendship https://saltinwound.com/
	11:31am garlic Rob: I’m trying to call you
	♥ 11:31am David L.: ↳ Song: "Under The Spell Of City Lights" by "JD McPherson" McPherson's material and performances seem to get more and more compelling as he goes on, loving this one.
	♥ 11:31am Hughie Considine: ↳ garlic Rob @11:27 My son is a race caller and studying the industry in college.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 a scientist!!
	♥ 11:32am egould: Jonathan Richman Concert Report I saw Jonathan Richman and Tommy Larkins at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle on Wednesday night. The show started promptly, a little after 8PM. The venue was full. One dude commented on my WFMU t-shirt saying, “That’s a perfect shirt for a Jonathan Richman concert.” The house lights stayed on, and Jonathan was carrying a parlor guitar with nylon strings, no strap, and barely mic’ed. He seemed to be in a good mood and had funny stage banter with Tommy and the crowd. He talked about “feelings” a lot. He played some hits “Summer Feeling”, “Pablo Picasso”, “Lesbian Bar”. He sang several songs in Italian which were lovely. Dancing was kept to a minimum, and he focused on soloing on the guitar. The crowd was enthusiastic and responsive to Jonathan and his cues. He played for over an hour and a half, which was apparently 20 minutes more than he had played the other 3 nights. My wife and I enjoyed the show. Also, thanks to the Tractor for cleaning their soda lines. My Tito’s and soda tasted like a vodka soda and not a bucket of mop water from grandma’s musty basement.
	11:33am Listener Baby: Mine. Pre civil war. No lie.
	11:33am Moammar: What are the NJ movie classics? "Paterson" "Win-Win" "The Killers" "On the Waterfront" I know "Garden State" is the obvious one, but did not enjoy.
	♥ 11:34am Various Julius: Still got some Canadian whiskey from our wedding in '96
	♥ 11:34am luca: we have a bottle of St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram that will assuredly outlive me
	♥ 11:34am Squints: ↳ egould @11:32 Nothing ruins a good beer like a mung uncleaned line.
	♥ 11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:31 That's a good review. I'd mostly agree. It maybe didn't know what it wanted to be. But it ended up just being quite weird and not broad at all, which I definitely appreciate.
	♥ 11:34am Montmaster J: we had a bottle of Cynar in the cabinet for way too many years
	11:35am Scott from Boston: Egould, good morning that sounds just about like the concert that my wife and I went to about a year ago in Boston to see my rock ‘n’ roll hero… And quite honestly he was so rude to the audience that night. I’ve never listened to him again since such a disappointment.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:34 haven't seen it yet!
	♥ 11:35am luca: ↳ Montmaster J @11:34 i need to reup my Cynar. makes a great Campari substitute.
	11:35am Mr. Jones: The Charley Varick soundtrack is amazing and I think not available on any format outside of watching the film
	11:35am clarke: RIP Lalo - fave thing he did: Cool Hand Luke soundtrack.
	♥ 11:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ Moammar @11:33 Todd Solondz's "Happiness" -- bring the kids!
	11:36am lunarleigh: When I was helping my mom move out of her house a couple years ago, in the liquor cabinet there was a bottle of Swedish mulled wine, Glogg, that was gifted to my parents in 1974 from friends who brought it over from Sweden!!!
	♥ 11:36am Squints: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:35 In Plymouth in March 2024 he was awesome. Downright genial. Quirkily so, but genial.
	♥ 11:37am Montmaster J: ↳ luca @11:35 You have a much broader palette them me! Well done!
	11:38am clarke: ↳ egould @11:32 larkins is a buddy.
	♥ 11:38am Squints: ↳ Song: "Interview Excerpt from Feb. 17, 2007" by "Lalo Sc... He said "pianist."
	♥ 11:38am egould: ↳ clarke @11:38 You drummers have to 'stick' together.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ egould @11:38 tommy - one funny fucker!!
	11:40am Marie in Chicago: very interesting. I love hearing great artists talk about thieir work. PS, I'm pretty sure Devon E. levins has done some fine Lalo tribute shows.
	♥ 11:40am GeoSinPhilly: Lalo sounds like a great interview.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview Excerpt from Feb. 17, 2007" by "Lalo Sc... tre cool!
	♥ 11:40am drr: Did he say he composes primarily on bass? Or did I mis-hear that?
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ Montmaster J @11:34 That seems like for a lot of folks, that's the one!
	11:41am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Lala's Bossa Nova" by "Lalo Schifrin" On of the greatest modern arrangers to ever have lived.
	♥ 11:41am egould: I'm going to go squeeze some oranges for mimosas.
	11:41am Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Lala's Bossa Nova" by "Lalo Schifrin" love this
	♥ 11:41am GeoSinPhilly: ↳ drr @11:40 On the "page."
	♥ 11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @11:40 At "the desk." He writes music without an instrument to hand, which is something I need to learn.
	11:42am clarke: RIP Mick - soundtrack of my pre-teens!
	♥ 11:42am drr: ↳ GeoSinPhilly @11:41 thanks!
	♥ 11:42am myron feld: you mean "Mick Ralphs of MOTT THE HOOPLE and Bad Company"
	♥ 11:44am Mailman Tom: I saw Mott the Hoople at Winterland in 1973. They were upstaged by the opening act, Joe Walsh and Barnstorm!
	♥ 11:44am Squints: ↳ Song: "Movin' On" by "Bad Company" Hadn't thought of a Rockpile link, but yeah, kinda.
	11:44am jg: @squints Cletus I think. Or cooter. But I think Cletus.
	11:44am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Movin' On" by "Bad Company" Also a tone master! Always interesting and bitchin’ sound on his guitar
	11:44am Cooh John: I bougjt Bad Company's debut album when it came out. Great from beginning to end.
	11:44am Scott from Boston: Love Bad Co.!!! Thank you!!
	♥ 11:44am JOE FROM DC: Where's my 8 track player?
	11:44am Rocker98: Bad Company should be in the R&R HOF.
	11:44am Scott from Boston: Hell yeah!!
	♥ 11:45am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Movin' On" by "Bad Company" Would never have expected to hear this. Hard to deny.
	♥ 11:45am Jack McGuire: Mick Ralphs slumming in Bad Co. Mott ruled.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ JOE FROM DC @11:44 still in the shop - on M Street.
	♥ 11:45am myron feld: I saw what I think was Mick's second-to-last appearance, October 2016 at a little club in London w/ the Mick Ralphs Blues Band. He was great and so gracious when we spoke with him after the set. He played the next week w/ Bad Company and then suffered a stroke.
	♥ 11:46am JOE FROM DC: ↳ clarke @11:45 Darnit! I was hoping for the CLICK between choruses!
	♥ 11:46am drr: ↳ Song: "Movin' On" by "Bad Company" I don't mean this to sound bad, but this song sounds like if you went into a rock butcher shop and said "give me a pound of nice, lean rock."
	11:46am Scott in Denver: I feel like I'm in high school listening to this on 8 track in the back of Chevy Nova smoking crappy Mexican brick weed in Nebraska.
	11:47am P-90: Ralphs is in that special echelon of Rock guitarists who are well-respected up to a point but still underrated considering their contributions, with Terry Kath and Paul Kossof. IMO.
	11:47am gf2002: Rip Lalo Schifrin! What a master at his art. For me his theme from Mannix is one of the best TV theme songs ever. Maybe that will get a spin today? Big fan of Mannix, big fan of Lalo's music
	♥ 11:48am Montmaster J: ↳ Scott in Denver @11:46 That's exactly what I imagined!
	♥ 11:49am John L: ↳ Moammar @11:33 Alice, Sweet Alice, filmed in Pasterson. Low budget, but effective and occasionally funny. Also:King Of Marvin Gardens, Atlantic City, Welcome To The Doll House.
	11:49am Scott from Boston: Bobby Sherman opposite spectrum, still awesome!
	♥ 11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott in Denver @11:46 Nice
	♥ 11:50am Squints: ↳ Song: "Well All Right" by "Bobby Sherman" At least they CHOSE good stuff.
	♥ 11:50am Handy Haversack: Michael, drier vermouths aren't shelf stable and will go bad if not refrigerated. Oldest bottle we have right now is I think a large bottle of pandemic brandy.
	11:50am clarke: RIP Bobby Sherman!! some know that Mitch Easter (and Will Rigby, i think) were in Bobby's back-up band for four or so shows in NC, back in the day.
	♥ 11:50am drr: Fuller > Sherman > Goldsboro.
	11:50am Marie in Chicago: I believe there was a limited edition Bobby Sherman wig...?
	♥ 11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Well All Right" by "Bobby Sherman" Cool stompin' version. Almost proto-glam in that regard
	11:50am Listener Baby: No bad versions
	11:51am clarke: mm.. pandemic brandy!
	11:51am jg: This is my favorite Buddy Holly song. I’ve never heard this one. Amazing how there are no bad ones , at least not that I’ve heard. I even dig the blind faith or traffic one
	11:51am gf2002: ↳ John L @11:49 King Of Marvin Gardens is a terrific film, I'm due for a re-watch session with that one and other Bob Rafelson films. Amazing movie and the scenery is perfect.
	11:52am Dan from PEI: Really enjoying the show today, Michael. Thank you!
	♥ 11:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:51 I think it featured in a LARGE Sidecar on my MS Show coaster in early-ish pandemic days.
	11:53am gf2002: Remember Bobby Sherman's role on The Monkees as a parody of Frankie Avalon?
	11:53am Mr. Jones: ↳ gf2002 @11:51 I've enjoyed that one as well, but it does move slow as I recall.
	♥ 11:53am Montmaster J: ↳ John L @11:49 maybe not a classic but the movie Patterson with Adam Driver is very good. Sweet sincere story of a poet/bus driver.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:52 so: a true star!
	♥ 11:53am drr: ↳ gf2002 @11:51 "We can't film today! The sun is shining!"
	11:54am Michael Shelley: ↳ Montmaster J @11:53 Adam Driver = my kriptonite
	11:54am gf2002: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:53 Yes, it's what I cann a "slow burn" film but as you watch, you become totally invested in those characters. I'm still shocked by the ending, no spoilers haha.
	♥ 11:54am Montmaster J: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:54 I won't bring him over. :)
	11:55am gf2002: ↳ drr @11:53 Whoever did Bobby's hair on that episode should have won an Emmy!
	11:55am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:54 even in Inside Llewelyn Davis - he's harmless in that.
	11:56am Mr. Jones: ↳ gf2002 @11:55 Whoever did Mannix's hair on every episode, I think did win an Emmy.
	♥ 11:57am John L: Love that one. Jim Jarmusch, though his last film, The Dead Don't Die, was a bummer.
	♥ 11:57am John L: ↳ Montmaster J @11:53 My last comment was meant to be a reply to you.
	♥ 11:58am luca: and then the baby looked at me
	♥ 11:58am Squints: I only hear "junior" anymore in a Sean Connery voice.
	11:58am Mr. Jones: According to the interwebs, Bobby Sherman and Alan Sherman were originally conjoined.
	11:58am clarke: Baby looked at you????
	♥ 11:58am Montmaster J: ↳ John L @11:57 100% agree. Wanted to like that one but alas....
	♥ 11:58am luca: ↳ clarke @11:58 not that baby
	♥ 11:58am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Montmaster J @11:53 One of my favorite movies. Of course, Jarmusch is my favorite filmmaker.
	♥ 11:59am Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:58 "My twin, the bubblegum idol." Hello, bruddah.
	♥ 11:59am Montmaster J: www.youtube.com...
	11:59am gf2002: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:56 I'm not surprised! Between Mike Connors as Mannix and Jack Lord on Hawaii 5-0, it was a great era for male hair styles
	11:59am clarke: i need my Baby!!
	♥ 11:59am Squints: ↳ Song: "Gloria" by "Amos Milburn Jr." Again, pre-starred. Nice that it was long enough ago that I don't remember.
	♥ 11:59am luca: my july 4th plans are to drive to Dulles and leave this forsaken land for 10 days (to Italy)
	♥ 12:00pm Montmaster J: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:58 I think it's one of his best...beautiful slow burn.
	12:00pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Squints @11:59 That's all the confirmation I needed. No longer rumor, now fact.
	♥ 12:01pm Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:00 Motto of our weekly fraternity newsletter was "Rumor is fact."
	♥ 12:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:54 My green Kryptonite -- or whichever was the one Richard Pryor made with tar that turned Superman evil. I want to destroy Metropolis every time I encounter Adam Driver.
	12:02pm inklake: Not, "Gloria", but "Turn on Your Love Light."
	12:02pm P-90: She DID just say she “wouldn’t be attending”
	12:02pm Marie in Chicago: The r&r hall of fame is a joke
	12:02pm Scott in Denver: On films... If anyone has The Criterion Channel I highly recommend Scarecrow with Gene Hackman and Al Pacino. They had some great scenes filmed in Denver and knew where they were in town circa 1973.
	12:03pm Marie in Chicago: I also think rollin stone magazine is a joke
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:02 one o' me top films
	12:03pm jg: Great musician but seems like a pain in the ass. Had a problem w the name Wrecking Crew. And w Hal Blaine who seemed nice. That being said , Rock and Roll Hall of fame is total bullshit anyway.
	12:04pm OnTheTrain: i went to the rock n roll hall of fame in 95-96 . all i remember was the cars hanging from the ceiling. it was boring but so was cleveland.
	12:04pm Mr. Jones: Every cool cat has a their own RnR HOF. It's a section of the record collection.
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ jg @12:03 i think carol was pretty easy to work with back when. she started to lose her cool, in later years - as can happen.
	12:05pm @blackwillowyoga: You see Phish not getting in this year even though they won the fan vote by far?
	♥ 12:05pm Frank In Queens: Is that a euphemism?
	♥ 12:05pm Woo: ↳ jg @12:03 The Monkees are not in the RRHOF. That says it all.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ @blackwillowyoga @12:05 nevah 'eard of 'em
	♥ 12:05pm Montmaster J: Why not call it the Popular Music Hall of Fame and be done with it?
	♥ 12:06pm egould: Without the RnR HOF, the Red Hot Chili Peppers would not have been honored the way they so rightly deserve.
	12:06pm Cooh John: Rock and Roll is an art form of rebellion. Legitimatizing and institutionalized it is NUTS. We each have our own R'nR HoF in our hearts. ❤️🎶
	♥ 12:06pm John L: ↳ Montmaster J @11:58 Jarmusch use to have a place in the Hudson Valley, so he was a familiar site around here. He even showed up, unannounced, at a showing of his Stooges doc. He is an engaging conversationalist.
	12:06pm jg: Is Joe Pass the jazz guitarist who had a callas on his thumb that functioned like a pick?
	12:06pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:03 oh goodness yes
	12:07pm Mr. Jones: What I would love to know is who exactly played on those Lalo Schifrin soundtrack cues. It's definitely the "Wrecking Crew" and their pals. I know Carol has made mention of doing TV sessions for him. Another reason why his TV stuff is just the best!
	♥ 12:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Montmaster J @12:00 Definitely
	12:08pm Moammar: ↳ Cooh John @12:06 So say we all!
	12:09pm OnTheTrain: quality pints
	12:09pm clarke: the dichotomy, there, is that carol says it was a "team" but she totally HATES member of the team.
	12:09pm annette: divorced my tv and all others. jonathan richmond saved the world. THE BEACH...THAT SUMMER FEELING. and i am here
	12:10pm clarke: richman
	12:10pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:09 Works in sports.
	12:10pm Cooh John: Saw Bug Club last Saturday at the Nelsonville Music Festival. Hence my absence from listening to all the #1 hits lastweek.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:10 only sometimes

	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Cooh John @12:10 verrrry coohhh!!
	12:11pm gf2002: Last week I mentioned how Carol Kaye attacking and disparaging Hal Blaine as a person and his drumming was a very bad look...well there's another I remembered. Not to pile on, but still worth noting. In the Brian Wilson biopic Love & Mercy, they hired a professional bassist from LA named Teresa Cowles to portray Carol in the 60's scenes. The costume designers created an outfit for her to wear that was almost a direct copy from a photo of Carol taken in the studio with her bass. Teresa looked as close to Carol as you could probably get...AND she played Carol's bass parts as heard in the movie (they took live audio from the actors in the studio since most of the actors playing the musicians were professional musicians themselves). And I remember Carol tore into Teresa online about something or another in her portrayal, and again it was a very bad look and uncalled for since she was an actual bass player and played the role to a T, no disrespect or clownish theatrics at all. Hard to figure that stuff out as much as I love Carol as a musician.
	12:12pm Joe B: ↳ Song: "Well All Right" by "Bobby Sherman" love this one. thought I could sneak it in on Monday but should have known no cool versions get past Michael!
	12:12pm annette: @clarke...am upside down...got more mellow
	12:13pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Easy Come, Easy Go" by "Bobby Sherman" This was in heavy rotation in my friend's basement in upstate NY in 1969. Still sounds good.
	12:13pm Cooh John: I heard Bobby coming with the first few notes.
	♥ 12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: I just think of the R&R Hall of Fame as yet another self-indulgent non-profit designed for rich people to "rattle their jewelry" at a big event every year.
	12:13pm KWilde: I bought the single Easy Come Easy Go as a kid. Loved it
	♥ 12:14pm Handy Haversack: OK, we're off to paddle the Neversink Reservoir. Maybe we'll see Tommy there! Thanks, MS!
	12:14pm P-90: It’s not just that “they never used that phrase” [wrecking crew] is those years when those sessions were being done, it’s that nobody else called them that either. Kaye feels like the world has been misled that they were known by that name, when they weren’t. She says Tedesco never claimed to believe they were called that himself, but came up with that “name” as a promotional “hook” for his documentary and for those musicians. So she feels that late in life she’s been unexpectedly saddled with this “wrecking crew” thing from which she can’t escape, and not by her own choice.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:14 never sink!!
	♥ 12:14pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Alcohol And AC" by "Doug Collins And The Receptio... Oh, this one hits home 🤣

	12:16pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:14 in a similar way that touring musicians feel saddled with a hit song they HAVE to perform every night.
	♥ 12:16pm JamesE.Gio: ↳ Cooh John @12:06 i agree. the idea is elitist, r'n'r is anti-elitist in my view.
	12:16pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Sounds like that guy needs a meeting tbh
	♥ 12:16pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:11 At some point Carol Kaye wrote an Amazon review of a vacuum cleaner and she really tore it to shreds, at length. It's just her style.
	12:16pm Giant man in PVD: I had alcohol and AC last night. I never drink and now I remember why.
	♥ 12:16pm egould: Alcohol, AC, a good woman, and Netflix.
	♥ 12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @12:16 Lol, yes
	12:17pm Joe B: if she wasn't 'saddled' with the wrecking crew name, hardly anyone would know or care who she was or what she did.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:14 in other woids: there are certain crosses a musician has to bear.
	12:18pm annette: MICHAEL SHELLY. IF YA KEEP PLAYING SUCH SONGS. MIGHT GET PULLED OVER

	12:18pm Michael Shelley: ↳ P-90 @12:14 I think it's more that she grew to hate HAL - there's nothing offensive about the name or the misunderstanding around it
	♥ 12:18pm luca: ↳ Josh @12:18 i like that
	♥ 12:19pm drr: ↳ drr @12:16 Ha ha, I went looking for a link to that review and found the link...on the Michael Shelley Show webpage.

	12:19pm Giant man in PVD: The world is flat, but the earth is not
	♥ 12:19pm egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:18 She needs to let go of her anger; not cultivate it.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:18 i tend to agree with that statement; however, she has something else going on, too.
	12:19pm jg: @gf2002 yes and in love and mercy Blaine was portrayed as an encouraging mentor to Brian , I assume accurately. And as far the wrecking crew name goes , they made a name for themselves through their extraordinary musicianship, and if that’s the name that stuck in peoples minds. Why not be happy about it. Seems like a bit of a crank to me
	12:19pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Motherless Child" by "Harmonica Paul" Who is this cat

	12:20pm gailvachon: "do you notice something? THat "How are you" is becoming a complicated question now, a strange ritual needs to be entered in which you separate the state of the world from your own state, if that is possible, and only they answer. They're trying to take away our greetings, also." - Anand Giridharadas
	12:21pm Joe B: ↳ jg @12:19 exactly. her legacy as a crank is catching up to her musicianship. or surpassing even.

	♥ 12:25pm drr: ↳ Cooh John @12:20 I watched the PBS documentary on Hannah Arendt last night and can only conclude that the world IS going to hell, in a historically recognizable way, but maybe the opposite from how your co-worker thinks it's going to hell.

	12:27pm OnTheTrain: in the world of music , i got free tickets for counting crows at jones beach for tomorrow . wonder what it's going to be like .
	12:27pm Mr. Jones: Do flat-earthers think the ocean makes a giant waterfall at the edge, or is held back by a big piece of plexiglass? Man, I really hope one of the listeners knows the answer.
	♥ 12:28pm Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:27 I have pressed my face up against that glass, sir.
	♥ 12:28pm JOE FROM DC: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:27 Someone proved to a Flat Earther that the world is round by stating that if there really was an edge to the world, Disney would have put up a theme park on it.

	♥ 12:28pm drr: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:27 No one has come back to tell the tale.
	♥ 12:28pm Steve Del Sol: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:27 Jones Beach Theater is a really nice venue. Used to take tolls in that system. Also worked the theater once in a while.
	12:28pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Squints @12:28 from which side?
	12:29pm P-90: I don’t think I ever saw anyone ask Lalo in an interview about the success and influence of Brubeck’s Take Five on so many composers of tv theme shows wanting to write themes in odd time signatures.
	12:29pm OnTheTrain: Mr Jones, there are so many conspiracy theories one can follow. it's probably something beyond weird like magnets
	12:30pm Mark Bacino: Nice tribute spins to LS. I must admit my “Milkshake Bossanova” from “The Million Dollar Milkshake” is something of a lift/tribute to Lalo vibes (amongst others of that ilk - Herb Albert, Brazil ‘66, etc.). Sadly, all the greats are leaving us.
	♥ 12:30pm Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:28 Heh. A fair question. I've certainly pressed up against the glass from outside often enough.
	12:30pm Mr. Jones: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:29 yes of course ... water magnets thank you!
	♥ 12:31pm drr: Actually, I think it's land all the way around the edge, sort of like a pie crust. Otherwise the ocean would drain out.
	12:31pm Mr. Jones: ↳ drr @12:31 mmmm, the crust is always the best part.
	12:31pm Scott from Boston: Brinsley so consistent!
	12:31pm OnTheTrain: Joe B, i can't think i have ever seen gaslight. its a nice venue .
	♥ 12:32pm JOE FROM DC: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:30 "Water Magnets" is a good band name for a group that would be making those #1 hits and whose albums would be collectors items after selling for $2.99 at Woolworths!
	♥ 12:33pm listener phat in Lincoln: For some reason Michael's comments about Pee Wee made me think of my fair city's building a publicly available performance space and "recording space." It seems like a good idea on paper, but it'll just be a boring place where the boring rich kids hang out (and it ended up being run by a local Christian Rock grifter, of course.
	12:33pm Mr. Jones: ↳ JOE FROM DC @12:32 already on my Discogs "want list"
	12:33pm OnTheTrain: Steve its so weird there are no tolls anymore . sitting in the summer heat waiting for toll was probably the majority of the vacation/ trip in total.
	12:34pm Charles: Hello!
	12:34pm gf2002: ↳ jg @12:19 Yes it was very accurate, Hal was both a mentior and close friend of Brian's in the 60's and he also gave him validation for his "new" music which Brian didn't always get from his own bandmates and father. And Hal tells a very sad story about when Brian's dad sold "Sea Of Tunes" in 1969, which crushed Brian, and soon after Brian showed up at Hal's house carrying a box of gold records he had received for all those 60's Beach Boys hits and wanted to give them to Hal because they weren't his songs anymore. Hal packed the gold records back in the box and gave them back to Brian, telling him these songs are you and they'll always be yours. So yes, Hal had a pretty strong relationship with Brian at that time and helped him quite a bit.
	12:35pm Barbaric Yawp: Don’t let politics steal your joy. That’s what They want. We’re all wrong somewhere in life, eh? Sure, some more than others but who do we think we are? Perfect? Hahahah ain’t that a joke? Thanks for the great show today, just on a radical joy wavelength and thought I’d share. Mucho love to my fellow WFMU folks-the world needs our joy not our anger and judgment for others.
	♥ 12:35pm listener phat in Lincoln: I think Pee Wee was amazing, not boring. But I agree that the culture stuff like Home Improvement tend to win out.
	♥ 12:36pm Squints: Got to bug. Sunday Sarah (bartender at my primary dive) is moving to GA to take care of her parents and a bunch of us have chipped in for a Four Roses-themed pullover for her for having opened early for us so many Sundays for rugby. Don't forget to move the rope.

	12:39pm Chad From Philly: Could not agree more, instros don’t get better than this!!
	♥ 12:41pm herb.nyc: Hola. Tuned in as Michael was talking about THE pee-wee herman. By coincidence, friend sent me his spare DUMMY mag #1 (3rd printing, spr 2024), received 3 days ago. Cover-“the art of pee-wee’s playhouse”. Looks like a great 48pager. First time I saw pee I was turned off. Second time, loved!
	12:42pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Jim On The Move" by "Lalo Schifrin" Is this a Mission Impossible cue? Maybe Michael said it and i missed it.

	12:45pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Jim On The Move" by "Lalo Schifrin" I'm the proud owner of both the original Mission Impossible soundtrack and the follow-up "More Mission Impossible" on near-perfect original vinyl, courtesy of a church rummage sale find years ago. Great music. And Carol Kaye doesn't like it, but that's the "Wrecking Crew" on those soundtracks. Great show too. Especially the episode with the cat!
	12:45pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough" by "Bad Company" This song is like burned into my brain. I was a heavy metal pothead in high school
	12:45pm Rocker98: ↳ Mailman Tom @11:44 It was a rock and roll fantasy.
	12:45pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough" by "Bad Company" This was so played out by the time I left HS that I couldn't listen to it. Much like Zeppelin. But it sounds good now I'll admit.
	12:46pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough" by "Bad Company" Back in the days when a great rock shuffle could be heard on a hit record.
	♥ 12:46pm Pedro in Arlington: As I get older, I try to enjoy what I enjoy and brush off the other stuff. Good: Pee-Wee Herman, the work of the Wrecking Crew, WFMU, college baseball, New Yorkers not putting a Queens sociopath back in office.

	12:47pm Mr. Jones: ↳ gf2002 @12:45 Those M.I. cues are like a graduate course in setting the scene with the right arrangement. So many similarities in the compositions, but new arrangements to suit each episode's location.

	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:50 the alphabetical order of wilson solo-composed tunes really hit me, last week!
	12:50pm gf2002: ↳ egould @12:48 Oh wow, that's too cool! I love the entire series even with the changing cast but that episode with the cat is one that many people point to as a standout. What a great show, and I still haven't seen the Tom Cruise reboot films because I'm too old-school I guess with the original.
	12:51pm Mr. Jones: ↳ egould @12:48 the cat was really played by Martin Landau, that guy could do it all #RollinHand
	12:51pm Marie in Chicago: How many songs mention falsies?

	♥ 12:54pm egould: ↳ Song: "Spit Out The Bubblegum" by "Jay Gonzalez" My wife caught a Jay Gonzalez t-shirt at an Eyelids concert two years ago. The band was throwing random shit from the stage. I wish Pete Buck had thrown his Rickenbacker to me.

	12:57pm gf2002: Bit of trivia, Martin Landau and his wife Barbara Bain presented the Emmy to James Frawley for the Monkees TV show back in '67, I think Bain won multiple Emmys for her role on Mission Impossible and Landau was nominated but I don't think ever won.

	♥ 11:32am egould: Jonathan Richman Concert Report I saw Jonathan Richman and Tommy Larkins at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle on Wednesday night. The show started promptly, a little after 8PM. The venue was full. One dude commented on my WFMU t-shirt saying, “That’s a perfect shirt for a Jonathan Richman concert.” The house lights stayed on, and Jonathan was carrying a parlor guitar with nylon strings, no strap, and barely mic’ed. He seemed to be in a good mood and had funny stage banter with Tommy and the crowd. He talked about “feelings” a lot. He played some hits “Summer Feeling”, “Pablo Picasso”, “Lesbian Bar”. He sang several songs in Italian which were lovely. Dancing was kept to a minimum, and he focused on soloing on the guitar. The crowd was enthusiastic and responsive to Jonathan and his cues. He played for over an hour and a half, which was apparently 20 minutes more than he had played the other 3 nights. My wife and I enjoyed the show. Also, thanks to the Tractor for cleaning their soda lines. My Tito’s and soda tasted like a vodka soda and not a bucket of mop water from grandma’s musty basement.
	11:33am Listener Baby: Mine. Pre civil war. No lie.
	11:33am Moammar: What are the NJ movie classics? "Paterson" "Win-Win" "The Killers" "On the Waterfront" I know "Garden State" is the obvious one, but did not enjoy.

	♥ 11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:31 That's a good review. I'd mostly agree. It maybe didn't know what it wanted to be. But it ended up just being quite weird and not broad at all, which I definitely appreciate.
	♥ 11:34am Montmaster J: we had a bottle of Cynar in the cabinet for way too many years
	11:35am Scott from Boston: Egould, good morning that sounds just about like the concert that my wife and I went to about a year ago in Boston to see my rock ‘n’ roll hero… And quite honestly he was so rude to the audience that night. I’ve never listened to him again since such a disappointment.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:34 haven't seen it yet!
	♥ 11:35am luca: ↳ Montmaster J @11:34 i need to reup my Cynar. makes a great Campari substitute.

	♥ 11:46am JOE FROM DC: ↳ clarke @11:45 Darnit! I was hoping for the CLICK between choruses!
	♥ 11:46am drr: ↳ Song: "Movin' On" by "Bad Company" I don't mean this to sound bad, but this song sounds like if you went into a rock butcher shop and said "give me a pound of nice, lean rock."
	11:46am Scott in Denver: I feel like I'm in high school listening to this on 8 track in the back of Chevy Nova smoking crappy Mexican brick weed in Nebraska.
	11:47am P-90: Ralphs is in that special echelon of Rock guitarists who are well-respected up to a point but still underrated considering their contributions, with Terry Kath and Paul Kossof. IMO.
	11:47am gf2002: Rip Lalo Schifrin! What a master at his art. For me his theme from Mannix is one of the best TV theme songs ever. Maybe that will get a spin today? Big fan of Mannix, big fan of Lalo's music

	11:51am gf2002: ↳ John L @11:49 King Of Marvin Gardens is a terrific film, I'm due for a re-watch session with that one and other Bob Rafelson films. Amazing movie and the scenery is perfect.
	11:52am Dan from PEI: Really enjoying the show today, Michael. Thank you!
	♥ 11:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:51 I think it featured in a LARGE Sidecar on my MS Show coaster in early-ish pandemic days.

	12:02pm Marie in Chicago: The r&r hall of fame is a joke
	12:02pm Scott in Denver: On films... If anyone has The Criterion Channel I highly recommend Scarecrow with Gene Hackman and Al Pacino. They had some great scenes filmed in Denver and knew where they were in town circa 1973.
	12:03pm Marie in Chicago: I also think rollin stone magazine is a joke
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:02 one o' me top films
	12:03pm jg: Great musician but seems like a pain in the ass. Had a problem w the name Wrecking Crew. And w Hal Blaine who seemed nice. That being said , Rock and Roll Hall of fame is total bullshit anyway.
	12:04pm OnTheTrain: i went to the rock n roll hall of fame in 95-96 . all i remember was the cars hanging from the ceiling. it was boring but so was cleveland.

	♥ 12:06pm John L: ↳ Montmaster J @11:58 Jarmusch use to have a place in the Hudson Valley, so he was a familiar site around here. He even showed up, unannounced, at a showing of his Stooges doc. He is an engaging conversationalist.
	12:06pm jg: Is Joe Pass the jazz guitarist who had a callas on his thumb that functioned like a pick?
	12:06pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:03 oh goodness yes
	12:07pm Mr. Jones: What I would love to know is who exactly played on those Lalo Schifrin soundtrack cues. It's definitely the "Wrecking Crew" and their pals. I know Carol has made mention of doing TV sessions for him. Another reason why his TV stuff is just the best!
	♥ 12:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Montmaster J @12:00 Definitely
	12:08pm Moammar: ↳ Cooh John @12:06 So say we all!

	12:11pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Cooh John @12:10 how were they?
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Cooh John @12:10 verrrry coohhh!!
	12:11pm gf2002: Last week I mentioned how Carol Kaye attacking and disparaging Hal Blaine as a person and his drumming was a very bad look...well there's another I remembered. Not to pile on, but still worth noting. In the Brian Wilson biopic Love & Mercy, they hired a professional bassist from LA named Teresa Cowles to portray Carol in the 60's scenes. The costume designers created an outfit for her to wear that was almost a direct copy from a photo of Carol taken in the studio with her bass. Teresa looked as close to Carol as you could probably get...AND she played Carol's bass parts as heard in the movie (they took live audio from the actors in the studio since most of the actors playing the musicians were professional musicians themselves). And I remember Carol tore into Teresa online about something or another in her portrayal, and again it was a very bad look and uncalled for since she was an actual bass player and played the role to a T, no disrespect or clownish theatrics at all. Hard to figure that stuff out as much as I love Carol as a musician.
	12:12pm Joe B: ↳ Song: "Well All Right" by "Bobby Sherman" love this one. thought I could sneak it in on Monday but should have known no cool versions get past Michael!

	12:13pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Easy Come, Easy Go" by "Bobby Sherman" This was in heavy rotation in my friend's basement in upstate NY in 1969. Still sounds good.
	12:13pm Cooh John: I heard Bobby coming with the first few notes.
	♥ 12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: I just think of the R&R Hall of Fame as yet another self-indulgent non-profit designed for rich people to "rattle their jewelry" at a big event every year.
	12:13pm KWilde: I bought the single Easy Come Easy Go as a kid. Loved it
	♥ 12:14pm Handy Haversack: OK, we're off to paddle the Neversink Reservoir. Maybe we'll see Tommy there! Thanks, MS!
	12:14pm P-90: It’s not just that “they never used that phrase” [wrecking crew] is those years when those sessions were being done, it’s that nobody else called them that either. Kaye feels like the world has been misled that they were known by that name, when they weren’t. She says Tedesco never claimed to believe they were called that himself, but came up with that “name” as a promotional “hook” for his documentary and for those musicians. So she feels that late in life she’s been unexpectedly saddled with this “wrecking crew” thing from which she can’t escape, and not by her own choice.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:14 never sink!!

	♥ 12:16pm JamesE.Gio: ↳ Cooh John @12:06 i agree. the idea is elitist, r'n'r is anti-elitist in my view.
	12:16pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Sounds like that guy needs a meeting tbh
	♥ 12:16pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:11 At some point Carol Kaye wrote an Amazon review of a vacuum cleaner and she really tore it to shreds, at length. It's just her style.

	12:19pm jg: @gf2002 yes and in love and mercy Blaine was portrayed as an encouraging mentor to Brian , I assume accurately. And as far the wrecking crew name goes , they made a name for themselves through their extraordinary musicianship, and if that’s the name that stuck in peoples minds. Why not be happy about it.

	12:34pm Charles: Hello!
	12:34pm gf2002: ↳ jg @12:19 Yes it was very accurate, Hal was both a mentior and close friend of Brian's in the 60's and he also gave him validation for his "new" music which Brian didn't always get from his own bandmates and father. And Hal tells a very sad story about when Brian's dad sold "Sea Of Tunes" in 1969, which crushed Brian, and soon after Brian showed up at Hal's house carrying a box of gold records he had received for all those 60's Beach Boys hits and wanted to give them to Hal because they weren't his songs anymore. Hal packed the gold records back in the box and gave them back to Brian, telling him these songs are you and they'll always be yours. So yes, Hal had a pretty strong relationship with Brian at that time and helped him quite a bit.

	12:45pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Jim On The Move" by "Lalo Schifrin" I'm the proud owner of both the original Mission Impossible soundtrack and the follow-up "More Mission Impossible" on near-perfect original vinyl, courtesy of a church rummage sale find years ago. Great music. And Carol Kaye doesn't like it, but that's the "Wrecking Crew" on those soundtracks. Great show too. Especially the episode with the cat!
	12:45pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough" by "Bad Company" This song is like burned into my brain. I was a heavy metal pothead in high school
	12:45pm Rocker98: ↳ Mailman Tom @11:44 It was a rock and roll fantasy.
	12:45pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough" by "Bad Company" This was so played out by the time I left HS that I couldn't listen to it. Much like Zeppelin. But it sounds good now I'll admit.
	12:46pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough" by "Bad Company" Back in the days when a great rock shuffle could be heard on a hit record.
	♥ 12:46pm Pedro in Arlington: As I get older, I try to enjoy what I enjoy and brush off the other stuff. Good: Pee-Wee Herman, the work of the Wrecking Crew, WFMU, college baseball, New Yorkers not putting a Queens sociopath back in office. Ignoring: Comments now by Carole Kaye, whose in the RRHOF, Comic book movies. Evil always to oppose: fascism in America.
	12:46pm clarke: "never confuse overplay with a bad song"
	12:47pm P-90: those guitars… so CHUNKY
	♥ 12:47pm egould: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough" by "Bad Company" Pub rock.
	12:47pm Mr. Jones: ↳ gf2002 @12:45 Those M.I. cues are like a graduate course in setting the scene with the right arrangement. So many similarities in the compositions, but new arrangements to suit each episode's location.
	♥ 12:48pm luca: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:45 HS in Chicagoland? i was in Lansing/south burbs
	♥ 12:48pm egould: ↳ gf2002 @12:45 The cat episode was on last week. That cat could act.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:47 of course, the undergrad courses were the films.
	12:49pm Rocker98: ↳ luca @12:48 What high school?

	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:50 the alphabetical order of wilson solo-composed tunes really hit me, last week!
	12:50pm gf2002: ↳ egould @12:48 Oh wow, that's too cool! I love the entire series even with the changing cast but that episode with the cat is one that many people point to as a standout. What a great show, and I still haven't seen the Tom Cruise reboot films because I'm too old-school I guess with the original.
	12:51pm Mr. Jones: ↳ egould @12:48 the cat was really played by Martin Landau, that guy could do it all #RollinHand
	12:51pm Marie in Chicago: How many songs mention falsies?
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:50 they are pretty okay, actually.
	♥ 12:51pm egould: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:51 Ha!
	12:51pm gf2002: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:51 Haha he was the master of disguise, who knew he could transform into a cat with clever makeup and prosthetics too.
	12:52pm johnk77: saw bad company live oakland coliseum arena 1979
	♥ 12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:51 Not enough or too many
	12:52pm Mr. Jones: ↳ gf2002 @12:51 Yah, but it is right there in the title.
	12:53pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ luca @12:48 Yep. I grew up in Forest Park but I went to high school in Westchester--all girls, Catholic (the boys high school was just across the football field)
	♥ 12:54pm egould: ↳ Song: "Spit Out The Bubblegum" by "Jay Gonzalez" My wife caught a Jay Gonzalez t-shirt at an Eyelids concert two years ago. The band was throwing random shit from the stage. I wish Pete Buck had thrown his Rickenbacker to me.
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:54 so, he's playing it, again?
	♥ 12:56pm egould: Thanks, Michael. Have a lovely weekend, one and all.

	♥ 12:57pm Hughie Considine: Stay cool, good people -- thanks for the hits, Michael!
	12:57pm gf2002: Bit of trivia, Martin Landau and his wife Barbara Bain presented the Emmy to James Frawley for the Monkees TV show back in '67, I think Bain won multiple Emmys for her role on Mission Impossible and Landau was nominated but I don't think ever won.
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:57 cool!
	12:58pm Rocker98: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:53 St Joe's was a well known HS in Weschester
