	♥ 12:08am 12539: (where are all the chatty people?)
	♥ 12:10am Minnesota Jeff: Chat chat chat chat, chat!
	12:11am fleep: Blame it on the Bossa Nova
	12:24am KP: Fleep, that's a double-edge sword you're swinging there.
	♥ 12:30am 12539: Hey, this guy's covering Bryce.
	12:30am coelacanth: I'm not chatty. But,hi.
	♥ 12:31am Joe McG: @12539: :)!
	12:32am Fernando M Pacheco: This track by Maria Bethania is amazing.
	12:33am Droll: 12539, This guy doesn't compare to Bryce. Let's see him play drums to Carey's Problem.
	♥ 12:34am Joe McG: Or "We're an American Band."
	♥ 12:42am 12539: Starcastle?
	12:42am Droll: I love Quarterflash!
	♥ 12:42am Minnesota Jeff: How about just some 'Flash'?
	♥ 12:43am Joe McG: @MJ: Do you mean that Jeff Beck album or the Queen soundtrack?
	12:43am Kathy: MacArthur Park by Sammy Davis Jr. will bring a tear to the eye.
	♥ 12:44am Joe McG: @Droll: Where is Rindy Ross now?
	12:44am Droll: MJ, FCC safe-haven applies, but decency dictates something between quarter- and full-flash. Half-flash? Jumping Jack?
	♥ 12:45am Joe McG: I pretty much like all the artists I mentioned except Morbid Angel, BTW.
	♥ 12:45am Minnesota Jeff: Joe, I mean the Peter Banks (yes guitarist) band 'Flash'.
	♥ 12:46am Joe McG: ACK!!! NO PETER BANKS!!!!
	12:46am fleep: Smoke is smokin!
	12:47am coelacanth: Besides all those people you just named,and this,what the hell else is there?
	♥ 12:47am Minnesota Jeff: Joe, what? You scared?
	♥ 12:48am Joe McG: @Jeff: TERRIFIED!
	12:49am Droll: Grandmaster Flash?
	♥ 12:50am Joe McG: How about Flash in the Pan?
	12:51am coelacanth: How bout Flash Bazbo?
	12:51am Julie: www.quarterflash.net
	♥ 12:52am Joe McG: @coel: Flash Bazbo rules.
	12:53am coelacanth: !!
	12:55am Droll: JMcG, I think Quarterflash was a flash in the pan... Still, I really do love their sound. They were one of the last guitar powered bands before synthesizers and drum machines became the favored style. They were like XTC on quaaludes with saxophone solos.
	♥ 12:56am Joe McG: @Julie: What does the Web site say about Rindy? Is she still making music? (True Story: I almost bought their record today for 50 cents and then didn't. Bad Joe.)
	♥ 12:58am Minnesota Jeff: Joe, you got any Loudness laying around?
	12:58am Julie: @Joe I think Marv & Rindy never stopped, they just had different projects. They put out a "quarterflash" album 5 years ago but it sounds nothing like the 80s version. I have the three 80s albums, and saw them open for someone back then... I can't even remember who.
	♥ 12:59am Joe McG: @MJ: Ha ha ha!
	♥ 1:00am Joe McG: @Julie: They made THREE albums?
	♥ 1:03am Joe McG: The one I almost bought was called "No Quarter," I think. Or am I making that up?
	♥ 1:03am Minnesota Jeff: :(
	♥ 1:03am Joe McG: I'm going to write another comment now.
	♥ 1:04am Joe McG: Here's another one.
	♥ 1:04am Joe McG: I have to admit, Jeff, I don't know anything about Loudness. Were you not kidding?
	1:06am Julie: Oh, it was four. but no, they didn't put out an album of Zeppelin covers called No Quarter, sorry Joe.
	♥ 1:07am Tome: hiYa Joe , Hi Kiddles, great tunes and Spring here now yeaaahhh !
	1:08am KP: Now Flash was group Peter Banks started after leaving Yes. They sounded exactly like Yes minus keys. I saw them for reason.
	1:08am johnk77: Quarterflash was first non-superstar act signed to Geffen
	♥ 1:09am Minnesota Jeff: I would love to hear some Loudness! But I guess I wasn't actually expecting you to play any. Loudness is the only Japanese band to play Madison Square Garden.
	1:10am Droll: MJ, Didn't E.Z.O. get to play there opening for KISS?
	1:11am Pete from Boston (and NJ): Does anybody remember when Kenny G did about a half hour of a loop of promotional music for the movie "Giant" starring Liz Taylor and Rock Hudson? This Roy Porter drumming this prolonged reminds me very much of that.
	♥ 1:12am Joe McG: Hey, Tome! @MJ: I think Loudness are still together actually. There was an article about them in Chopsticks. At least I think it was them!
	♥ 1:13am Minnesota Jeff: Droll, all I know is that Loudness was the first. They were opening for Mötley Crüe.
	♥ 1:14am Joe McG: Hey, Pete--I don't remember that one, but I'm sure Kenny did it and that it was amazing.
	1:17am fleep: I remember traffic reports. One after another.
	♥ 1:17am Joe McG: The slow episode of "Friends."
	1:18am KP: Joe I have an official complaint. Just moved to city but still can't get Fmu over air. Can you take care of this? Thanks.
	♥ 1:19am Joe McG: @KP: Sure, no problem! Give me a couple of minutes and I'll fix that up.
	1:20am Pete from Boston (and NJ): Well, it is now parked in my favorite tracks list, if anyone is interested in listening after this show.
	1:22am KP: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 1:22am Minnesota Jeff: Hey, so this "new" wire album is actually songs from the 80's that were never used or never recorded and just recorded now? Or something?
	♥ 1:23am Joe McG: Izzat so? Leftover kidney bingos, eh?
	♥ 1:24am Minnesota Jeff: It was supposed to be the followup to 154, but never came out. Or something.
	♥ 1:38am Minnesota Jeff: Can't wait to hear all these Loudness 45s!
	♥ 1:39am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Poor Blumin will be home in 3 hours
	♥ 1:39am 12539: Daniel, I saw Wire at the Cat Club back then, but I don't know if it was the Ideal Copy or the Bell Is A Cup Tour.
	1:42am fleep: UH
	♥ 1:43am Joe McG: AHHHHH!
	♥ 1:46am Joe McG: Ike Turner's Guide to Not Learning the Lyrics.
	1:47am KP: I saw maybe XTC's first US show. It was at CBGBs. Packed, celebs. They never really got going until they did a cover of Dot Dash. It was amazing.
	♥ 2:15am Brian in UK: Mornin' Joe. Nice things.
	2:15am Julie: Surface Noise, the home game
	♥ 2:17am Joe McG: Hey, Brian! Many nice things. Is it a nice day in the UK today?
	♥ 2:17am Joe McG: That's a 2-point question.
	♥ 2:19am Brian in UK: Beautiful clear blue skies. Sunshine abounds.
	♥ 2:20am Joe McG: Ah, down by Avalon, down by Avalon.
	♥ 2:20am Brian in UK: Did notr realise until I listened to FMU how popular XTC were in the US. At least with a certain audience.
	♥ 2:22am Brian in UK: Avalon, that's Glastonbury in 10 weeks. Bluddy Stones in the Park. Did you see the price of tickets? I saw them for free in '69. Well, when I say saw them there was estimated half a million there.
	♥ 2:23am Joe McG: No, what are they asking?
	♥ 2:26am Brian in UK: £95 just to get and sniff the air up to £1000 to kiss Mick's arse.
	♥ 2:28am Brian in UK: I am amazed how these tickets sold out in ten minutes.
	♥ 2:28am Joe McG: Ha ha! I'm sure it's worth it.
	2:40am tomB: No Commotion locomotion from Lloyd Cole?
	♥ 2:41am Joe McG: I think they may have reunited a few years ago and played some shows, but maybe I'm making that up. They didn't do it over here, I know that for sure!
	♥ 2:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everyone! Remember to tune in next week for Jeff who will be filling in for me! Have a great couple of weeks!
	♥ 2:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	♥ 2:58am Brian in UK: Adios amigos
	2:59am fleep: Thanks for the fine freeform, Joe.
