Listener comments!
	12:20am Droll: I was enjoying that at 45. Backwards next? Then off-center?
	12:21am fleep: Welcome back, Joe, at any speed.
	♥ 12:23am Andrew Waterloo: Wish I could reproduce the sound of 'mbv' as my stylus died.
	♥ 12:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in response to that Droll I'd say something rude about Liz Taylor - but that's not necessary is it...I think that's the dif. between me & some other residences of smalltown New Hampshire here: I'm playing @ 45 & they're 33&1/3rd or something...
	♥ 12:24am Joe McG: Hey, all. Thanks for the welcome back, fleep. Droll, that speed change caught me unawares. I'm blaming Daniel for not normalizing the turntables before he left.
	12:26am D. Blumin: That's not the only thing I didn't normalize, Joe! Watch the chair... Sorry!!!
	♥ 12:27am Joe McG: Yeah, you didn't normalize your pants.
	12:27am Chop Scott: Ah--John Berry Midnight Cowboy...So smooth, so right anytime--enjoying over the air!
	12:27am amEdeo: Tasti-d-lite! I am about to eat some cookies.
	12:27am Droll: That's the problem with DJ DB -- you can't fire a volunteer.
	♥ 12:30am Joe McG: Hey, Chop Scott! Hope you are well, Good Sir!
	12:31am Chop Scott: I'm alright--as ever better listening to you my Friend!
	12:33am NarrJ: How'd you decide on the homepage image, Host? Do you choose them?
	♥ 12:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...RPMs thing might be close to the truth : - Can you believe 100 is ave. IQ? That means 1/2 the people are below that - the double-digit club. Was talking to a woman who works in psychology & she said, "Oh yeah - a lotta people ambling about we call the 'shady 80's' "...
	♥ 12:33am Joe McG: Why, thank you, CS, it's great to be back. @NarrJ: No, but I approve of the record ladies that Ken likes to have there.
	♥ 12:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A Ken thing. Sure. & the captions?
	♥ 12:36am Joe McG: @RRN63: I think that might be brain trust there, although I'm sure Ken has much to do with it!
	12:37am D. Blumin: True, Droll! SHHH, Joe, my FMU pants are always at the wrong speed. Not something I can do much about... They just are... QUIET, you lout!
	12:38am fleep: Soundtracks make me want popcorn. Not healthy. Movie theater, with the more buttery than butter goo all over it.
	♥ 12:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: brain trust! that's better. Shold just let the mystique be...On that subject maybe, your Avatar is not John Hammond Sr., but someone Kewler?...
	♥ 12:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Ned Sparks - I can GoogleNet...
	♥ 12:42am Joe McG: So, how many of you have seen these movies?
	♥ 12:43am Joe McG: You got me, RRN63. Ned Sparks, my hero.
	♥ 12:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the 1st two. - Have 'After the Fox' Hollies song w/ Peter Sellers interjections...
	12:45am fleep: Woolf, Cowboy, Fox, Bell, Tango.
	♥ 12:45am Joe McG: fleep, I think you just gave me the name of the show.
	12:46am Nick: Great set Joe! Woolf, Cowboy, Bell, Tango, Privilege
	♥ 12:46am Joe McG: Either that or a military command.
	♥ 12:47am Lonely Planet Boy: Same here RRN63 - seen 1st two; but enjoying all the music!
	♥ 12:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Roger Roger - you sound like this fleep : en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 12:50am Minnesota Jeff: Hi Joe McGasko!
	12:55am Julie: Xanadu! Phantom! Love them!
	12:56am Julie: you know what has a good soundtrack? Lord Love a Duck (another favorite)
	♥ 12:56am Joe McG: Hey, Nick! Hey, Minnesota! Hey, Julie!
	♥ 12:56am Joe McG: Now you're talking, Julie, what a great movie AND soundtrack!
	♥ 12:57am Minnesota Jeff: I place the 'Rumble Fish' soundtrack on the mantle labeled "My Favorite Soundtrack"
	♥ 12:59am Joe McG: Who did that one, MJ? I can't even remember if I've seen "Rumblefish." I don't think I have.
	12:59am KP: Hey Joe, you make waiting at the tunnel fun.
	1:01am Julie: I like your playlist Joe because my heart is black :D
	♥ 1:01am Lonely Planet Boy: Aww man! There's a re-issue of Shuggie's Insp Info? Nice to have extra tracks, but having to purchase album 2nd time? Not fun.
	♥ 1:02am Minnesota Jeff: Joe, its by Police drummer Stewart Copeland. Its like a wild and crazy jumble and sound collage, and a song with Stan Ridgeway from Wall of Voodoo on vocals.
	♥ 1:04am Joe McG: @KP: Thanks, man! @Lonely Planet Boy: Well, they made it a little easier by adding a whole other unreleased album plus 4 bonus tracks to the original album. @Jeff: My hero, Stan Ridgeway! I have to get that one.
	♥ 1:05am Minnesota Jeff: You should really watch the movie as well, its great.
	1:05am KP: Any reports on Shuggie Otis?
	♥ 1:06am Joe McG: Yeah, has anyone seen Shuggie? I missed it, of course.
	1:07am KP: Jeff, Lord Love A Duck? It's awesome.
	♥ 1:08am Lonely Planet Boy: Thx for the (insp) info on the Shuggie CD, Joe. That does make it easier.
	1:12am Holly in NC: Hi Joe, Julie, KP, MJ, fleep, whoever I missed! @Joe - Stan R's The Big Heat, yes. And I guess I too have to buy that Shuggie again dang. Lewis Connection - isn't Prince supposedly involved? Know Rumblefish the book (yay S.E, Hinton) never saw movie
	♥ 1:14am Joe McG: Hey, Holly! Yes, I'm afraid so. Prince IS on the Lewis Connection LP, actually! Not on the track I played, but he's there. How's 'Rumblefish" the book? I'm already excited to see the flick and hear the sdrk.
	♥ 1:16am Matt from Springfield: Hi Joe! Hi everyone! Have a good RSD slash 4/20 today? :D
	♥ 1:17am Joe McG: Hey, Matt, how goes it? I sat out this year, but I'm eager to hear how other people made out. I spent money at two indie record stores in Florida last weekend, so I did my bit!
	♥ 1:18am Matt from Springfield: All praises to the Fairfax Record & Tape Exchange (RTX) and the Falls Church CD Cellar! The RTX has really improved their 45s shelf from the last time I was there! Thanks for doing your part, Joe!
	♥ 1:20am Joe McG: Great, Matt! I'll look forward to getting all those cool 45s you're going to send me! (j/k)
	1:21am KP: Hi, Holly. Celebrated move into city by hitting two RSD places manned by Fmu personnel, Brian turner at Kim's and Generation records w Tom S. the band the Livids were playing at latter. Pretty intense
	♥ 1:21am Matt from Springfield: In fact, they had a GREAT condition original 45 of Slade's "Gudbuy T'Jane"!! That's the one I put on as soon as I got home--and then naturally the B-side, "I Won't Let It 'Appen Again"! I'm a quasi-audiophile and fan of good production, but compared with the iTunes track, there are some things (like "Gudbuy T'Jane") that just need to be vinyl. 45. Mono. And BLARING! :D
	1:22am KP: Manned I mean dj'd
	♥ 1:23am Joe McG: @KP: Excellent! I bet BT's set was great! Tom's, too!
	♥ 1:23am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Cause you're clearly in need of some--you can almost see the foot of your bed now! ;) @KP: Awesome! It's a FMU RSD for you!
	1:23am KP: See ya all. Got to go.
	♥ 1:24am Lonely Planet Boy: I ran a indie music store up until 2001. Miss it everyday.
	♥ 1:24am Matt from Springfield: Holadios, KP!
	1:25am Holly in NC: Rumblefish is a darker, bleaker riff on the Outsiders theme. Almost nihilistic. Anti - protagonist (s). Perfect for disaffected hs kids :-) Hi Matt!
	♥ 1:25am Brian in UK: Hello Joe & folks. Think of all the shops that have gone.
	♥ 1:26am Matt from Springfield: Hi Holly! Hullo T'Brian!
	1:26am Ellie: I'm enjoying this music
	♥ 1:26am Joe McG: @LPB: Where was your store? @Holly: I hope the Rumblefish movie is a lot better than The Outsiders movie. Hey, Brian and Ellie!
	♥ 1:27am Matt from Springfield: The title track of the Dangerous Girls! Heard the DGs before on FMU, I first heard this one on BT's show recently.
	♥ 1:28am Brian in UK: We used to have a great shop. The guy ran the records in the back and his dad had the greengrocers at the front. Never the same when he opened a second shop.
	1:29am fleep: @Holly Howdy, the movie has Matt Dillon, Nick Cage, Diane Lane, Dennis Hopper, I think Tom Waits, too.
	♥ 1:30am Lonely Planet Boy: Joe, we were in Williamsburg, VA. Closed up shop in 2001.
	1:30am css: This DG is awesome, is this album out of print?
	♥ 1:32am Lonely Planet Boy: css - you ain't kiddin'. Great track!
	♥ 1:33am Matt from Springfield: Family Fodder and Dangerous Girls! Now I've got to look for THAT comp too!
	♥ 1:35am Matt from Springfield: @LPB: Sorry to hear, I love independent shops, particularly for vinyl records. Are you still in VA?
	♥ 1:36am Matt from Springfield: YES! "Dream Police", this is a PidgeRock™ track!
	♥ 1:36am Brian in UK: @Joe I remember racing back from visiting my friend in Manchester 200 miles on my motorbike to collect Ackles' American Gothic from the shop when it came out 'cause it had to be ordered in. '72?
	♥ 1:38am Joe McG: @Brian: Great story...and great taste!
	1:39am Julie: I like to pretend that dream police was a really cool 70s tv show
	♥ 1:40am Matt from Springfield: For RSD "specials", I got 2 new re-releases of classic albums on 180g "heavyweight" vinyl: The Electric Prunes and Van Dyke Parks' first solo album. Among the cooler CDs I picked up were Brian Eno's "Music For Films" (speaking of film soundtracks...), 2 Mazzy Star albums, and the OUT OF PRINT Yoko POB album, and The Kinks' Percy!
	♥ 1:40am Lonely Planet Boy: Matt - still in VA. I'm a librarian now. Seems I have a knack of moving from one dying profession to another :)
	♥ 1:41am Joe McG: I hope no one runs into any dream police tonight. Or police of any sort.
	♥ 1:42am Matt from Springfield: Well speak of The Kinks...! :) Hi there Julie! Any good hauls from RSD for you? "Dream Police" is high energy with a good tempo, woulda made an AMAZING theme song over an action-packed montage!
	♥ 1:42am Brian in UK: @Matt Is that VDPs Song Cycle?
	1:43am Julie: Percy is awesome..as is all mazzy star
	♥ 1:43am Joe McG: Wow, Matt, what a haul! You must be broke!
	♥ 1:44am Matt from Springfield: @LPB: "Data manager". "Cool data manager", even. You'll always be valued by us :) @Brian: VDP? @Julie: Thanks, you clued me in to both of those! :)
	♥ 1:44am Brian in UK: To think Jobriath was on Elektra!!!!!
	♥ 1:45am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: It's simple, locate what you MUST have, and check it out before you find other MUST haves and lose all your money! JOBRIATH! EFD smiles wherever he's at right now!
	♥ 1:45am Brian in UK: Van Dyke Parks.
	♥ 1:45am Joe McG: @Brian: I guess everybody wanted a David Bowie, even Jac Holzman!
	♥ 1:46am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: He was supposed to be the next David Bowie!!
	1:47am amEdeo: JOBRIATH! He is a man.
	♥ 1:47am Brian in UK: Talking independents. Holtzman is up there top of the tree.
	1:47am Julie: @Matt RSD was a bust, the few releases I wanted weren't even carried at all by the shops I went to. I did however by a used Melanie record.
	♥ 1:47am Joe McG: @A: A dead man, unfortunately.
	♥ 1:48am Matt from Springfield: @Brian: To answer your ?, YES. "Song Cycle" is his first album, from '68. (Though really he's good at song cycles in general, what with Smile and all).
	♥ 1:48am Lonely Planet Boy: Chris Richards in Wash Post reports that "record labels" will not accept RSD "specials" as returns. Puts the consumer in a conundrum.
	♥ 1:49am Brian in UK: @Matt I used to own it half a lifetime ago. Would be interested to know your thoughts when you have had a listen.
	♥ 1:50am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: Aw, better luck next time. But it's a good opportunity to even find some used vinyl. (Though the CDs and 45s were the best part today, used vinyl they had was mostly uninspiring). @Brian: Sure, will do!
	1:50am Holly in NC: @Julie - I have the hugest soft spot for Melanie, as my first employer, who I adored (still do), LOVED her and taped me all of her lps.
	1:50am Julie: Yess yesss yess this song!!
	♥ 1:51am Matt from Springfield: Woooooo! "Cambodia"! A moment of reflection, for all those who vanished in Cambodia...
	1:52am Ellie: i'm loving this playlist and will definitely be tuning in again!!
	1:52am Julie: Those first two Kim albums are so good
	♥ 1:52am Joe McG: Excellent, Ellie, thanks for the nice words!
	♥ 1:54am Brian in UK: @Joe when is the Singles Going Steady this year. Usual time?
	♥ 1:55am Joe McG: @Brian: Yep, right around Record Fair time. I think the Record Fair is in November again, maybe for the last time since it might move to the spring instead. I'm not sure if the singles will move with it! I think so.
	♥ 1:58am Matt from Springfield: Yeah, trippy soul! Love the Dramatics!
	♥ 2:00am Joe McG: @Matt: The guitar bits on this record kill me.
	♥ 2:03am Brian in UK: This is not recorded in a flat on the Holloway Road. Norf Lunnon
	2:03am fleep: A cover of Telstar? Too much.
	♥ 2:03am Joe McG: No, and no one was killed in the making of this record!
	2:05am Marmalade Kitty: Good morning joe. wow what a set!
	♥ 2:06am Matt from Springfield: Morning, MKitty!
	2:06am Holly in NC: If you haven't seen last year's video of Kim Wilde slightly tipsy (sweetly, over holidays, post party) on subway singing, you need to check out post-haste, smiles guaranteed
	2:08am Marmalade Kitty: Morning, Matt!
	2:08am Holly in NC: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 2:08am Brian in UK: Check Rob Weisberg's show last night for some real Cambodian music.
	2:15am frank's brain: spanish bullfighers. always spanish bulllfighters. how 'bout portuguese bullfighters?
	2:17am Julie: He's 65 today..crazy..
	♥ 2:17am Joe McG: Hey, Marmalade Kitty! Glad you liked the set! Hey, Frank's Brian! I'm holding out for the Mexican bullfighter.
	2:18am Holly in NC: Such a great song - thank you, Joe! What the hell, what the heck ;-)
	2:18am Julie: oh yes Holly I saw that, it's really sweet
	2:19am frank's brain: fran;s brian. i like that.
	2:20am KP: Winter is coming.
	♥ 2:21am Matt from Springfield: All 8 bits spent! ;)
	♥ 2:23am Matt from Springfield: WOOOOHOOOO!! 78 chipmunk!
	2:23am Holly in NC: 45 rpm kinda relevatory!
	2:29am Holly in NC: Roller Biscuit!
	♥ 2:30am Joe McG: You may never get this song out of your head again.
	2:30am Julie: Yeah seriously..where's my skates
	2:34am Holly in NC: Julie has 1st claim on earworms. Yesterday: I'm on a boat, a mfn boat... Roller Boogie didn't displace
	2:35am frank's brain: anika.
	2:36am Julie: Hehe Holly..I was relieved to see that I wasn't the only one who was hearing that in my head last night, friend did the same.
	2:37am Holly in NC: Like this Anika ep. Her Chromatics cover almost out Chromatics the Chromatics. Kinks cover ptob weakest cut
	♥ 2:37am Joe McG: mmmmmmmmmmm motorboat!
	2:38am fleep: Cowbell
	2:40am Julie: More cowbell
	♥ 2:41am Matt from Springfield: The only prescription, worth a description!
	2:41am frank's brain: brigitte bardot.
	2:44am Holly in NC: Comment board just referenced 2 of best snl skits ever. Collective conscious.
	2:45am Holly in NC: Conscience. Ugh.
	♥ 2:45am Matt from Springfield: Psychedelico do Brasil!
	♥ 2:46am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: Or would "collective consciousness" be what you meant? More like collective barely consciousness at this hour... ;)
	2:47am Julie: We are collectively conscious, aren't we?
	♥ 2:47am Matt from Springfield: CLOTHILDE!!! And what la swinging mademoiselle she is!
	2:48am css: I am so in love with how they used to record drums.
	♥ 2:49am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: Add all of us together, I think we are. Unless we're dreaming we are.
	♥ 2:51am Joe McG: @css: I totally agree with you!
	2:51am teilhard: music's so good you're keeping me awake
	♥ 2:52am Joe McG: @teilhard: That's music to MY ears, my friend!
	2:54am Holly in NC: Roxy is hitting the spot Joe, thank you
	2:55am sporkman: It's so good that my brain is even mushier as I'm trying to setup reverse DNS for IPv6. (Nerd things)
	♥ 2:55am Joe McG: @Holly: Gotta go out on a high! Thanks to everybody for listening tonight, great to be back!
	2:57am fleep: Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 2:58am Matt from Springfield: And another fine show retreats into our collective memory! Thanks as always for the music, Joe! Have a good night everyone!
	2:58am Julie: don't all roxy music albums have naked ladies on the cover?

	12:31am Chop Scott: I'm alright--as ever better listening to you my Friend!
	12:33am NarrJ: How'd you decide on the homepage image, Host? Do you choose them?
	♥ 12:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...RPMs thing might be close to the truth : - Can you believe 100 is ave. IQ? That means 1/2 the people are below that - the double-digit club. Was talking to a woman who works in psychology & she said, "Oh yeah - a lotta people ambling about we call the 'shady 80's' "...
	♥ 12:33am Joe McG: Why, thank you, CS, it's great to be back. @NarrJ: No, but I approve of the record ladies that Ken likes to have there.
	♥ 12:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A Ken thing. Sure. & the captions?
	♥ 12:36am Joe McG: @RRN63: I think that might be brain trust there, although I'm sure Ken has much to do with it!
	12:37am D. Blumin: True, Droll! SHHH, Joe, my FMU pants are always at the wrong speed. Not something I can do much about... They just are... QUIET, you lout!
	12:38am fleep: Soundtracks make me want popcorn. Not healthy. Movie theater, with the more buttery than butter goo all over it.
	♥ 12:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: brain trust! that's better. Shold just let the mystique be...On that subject maybe, your Avatar is not John Hammond Sr., but someone Kewler?...
	♥ 12:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Ned Sparks - I can GoogleNet...
	♥ 12:42am Joe McG: So, how many of you have seen these movies?
	♥ 12:43am Joe McG: You got me, RRN63. Ned Sparks, my hero.
	♥ 12:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the 1st two. - Have 'After the Fox' Hollies song w/ Peter Sellers interjections...
	12:45am fleep: Woolf, Cowboy, Fox, Bell, Tango.
	♥ 12:45am Joe McG: fleep, I think you just gave me the name of the show.
	12:46am Nick: Great set Joe! Woolf, Cowboy, Bell, Tango, Privilege
	♥ 12:46am Joe McG: Either that or a military command.
	♥ 12:47am Lonely Planet Boy: Same here RRN63 - seen 1st two; but enjoying all the music!
	♥ 12:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Roger Roger - you sound like this fleep : en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 12:50am Minnesota Jeff: Hi Joe McGasko!
	12:55am Julie: Xanadu! Phantom! Love them!
	12:56am Julie: you know what has a good soundtrack? Lord Love a Duck (another favorite)
	♥ 12:56am Joe McG: Hey, Nick! Hey, Minnesota! Hey, Julie!
	♥ 12:56am Joe McG: Now you're talking, Julie, what a great movie AND soundtrack!
	♥ 12:57am Minnesota Jeff: I place the 'Rumble Fish' soundtrack on the mantle labeled "My Favorite Soundtrack"
	♥ 12:59am Joe McG: Who did that one, MJ? I can't even remember if I've seen "Rumblefish." I don't think I have.
	12:59am KP: Hey Joe, you make waiting at the tunnel fun.
	1:01am Julie: I like your playlist Joe because my heart is black :D
	♥ 1:01am Lonely Planet Boy: Aww man! There's a re-issue of Shuggie's Insp Info? Nice to have extra tracks, but having to purchase album 2nd time? Not fun.
	♥ 1:02am Minnesota Jeff: Joe, its by Police drummer Stewart Copeland. Its like a wild and crazy jumble and sound collage, and a song with Stan Ridgeway from Wall of Voodoo on vocals.
	♥ 1:04am Joe McG: @KP: Thanks, man! @Lonely Planet Boy: Well, they made it a little easier by adding a whole other unreleased album plus 4 bonus tracks to the original album. @Jeff: My hero, Stan Ridgeway! I have to get that one.
	♥ 1:05am Minnesota Jeff: You should really watch the movie as well, its great.
	1:05am KP: Any reports on Shuggie Otis?
	♥ 1:06am Joe McG: Yeah, has anyone seen Shuggie? I missed it, of course.
	1:07am KP: Jeff, Lord Love A Duck? It's awesome.
	♥ 1:08am Lonely Planet Boy: Thx for the (insp) info on the Shuggie CD, Joe. That does make it easier.
	1:12am Holly in NC: Hi Joe, Julie, KP, MJ, fleep, whoever I missed! @Joe - Stan R's The Big Heat, yes. And I guess I too have to buy that Shuggie again dang. Lewis Connection - isn't Prince supposedly involved? Know Rumblefish the book (yay S.E, Hinton) never saw movie
	♥ 1:14am Joe McG: Hey, Holly! Yes, I'm afraid so. Prince IS on the Lewis Connection LP, actually! Not on the track I played, but he's there. How's 'Rumblefish" the book? I'm already excited to see the flick and hear the sdrk.
	♥ 1:16am Matt from Springfield: Hi Joe! Hi everyone! Have a good RSD slash 4/20 today? :D
	♥ 1:17am Joe McG: Hey, Matt, how goes it? I sat out this year, but I'm eager to hear how other people made out. I spent money at two indie record stores in Florida last weekend, so I did my bit!
	♥ 1:18am Matt from Springfield: All praises to the Fairfax Record & Tape Exchange (RTX) and the Falls Church CD Cellar! The RTX has really improved their 45s shelf from the last time I was there! Thanks for doing your part, Joe!
	♥ 1:20am Joe McG: Great, Matt! I'll look forward to getting all those cool 45s you're going to send me! (j/k)
	1:21am KP: Hi, Holly. Celebrated move into city by hitting two RSD places manned by Fmu personnel, Brian turner at Kim's and Generation records w Tom S. the band the Livids were playing at latter. Pretty intense
	♥ 1:21am Matt from Springfield: In fact, they had a GREAT condition original 45 of Slade's "Gudbuy T'Jane"!! That's the one I put on as soon as I got home--and then naturally the B-side, "I Won't Let It 'Appen Again"! I'm a quasi-audiophile and fan of good production, but compared with the iTunes track, there are some things (like "Gudbuy T'Jane") that just need to be vinyl. 45. Mono. And BLARING! :D
	1:22am KP: Manned I mean dj'd
	♥ 1:23am Joe McG: @KP: Excellent! I bet BT's set was great! Tom's, too!
	♥ 1:23am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Cause you're clearly in need of some--you can almost see the foot of your bed now! ;) @KP: Awesome! It's a FMU RSD for you!
	1:23am KP: See ya all. Got to go.
	♥ 1:24am Lonely Planet Boy: I ran a indie music store up until 2001. Miss it everyday.
	♥ 1:24am Matt from Springfield: Holadios, KP!
	1:25am Holly in NC: Rumblefish is a darker, bleaker riff on the Outsiders theme. Almost nihilistic. Anti - protagonist (s). Perfect for disaffected hs kids :-) Hi Matt!
	♥ 1:25am Brian in UK: Hello Joe & folks. Think of all the shops that have gone.
	♥ 1:26am Matt from Springfield: Hi Holly! Hullo T'Brian!
	1:26am Ellie: I'm enjoying this music
	♥ 1:26am Joe McG: @LPB: Where was your store? @Holly: I hope the Rumblefish movie is a lot better than The Outsiders movie. Hey, Brian and Ellie!
	♥ 1:27am Matt from Springfield: The title track of the Dangerous Girls! Heard the DGs before on FMU, I first heard this one on BT's show recently.
	♥ 1:28am Brian in UK: We used to have a great shop. The guy ran the records in the back and his dad had the greengrocers at the front. Never the same when he opened a second shop.
	1:29am fleep: @Holly Howdy, the movie has Matt Dillon, Nick Cage, Diane Lane, Dennis Hopper, I think Tom Waits, too.
	♥ 1:30am Lonely Planet Boy: Joe, we were in Williamsburg, VA. Closed up shop in 2001.
	1:30am css: This DG is awesome, is this album out of print?
	♥ 1:32am Lonely Planet Boy: css - you ain't kiddin'. Great track!
	♥ 1:33am Matt from Springfield: Family Fodder and Dangerous Girls! Now I've got to look for THAT comp too!
	♥ 1:35am Matt from Springfield: @LPB: Sorry to hear, I love independent shops, particularly for vinyl records. Are you still in VA?
	♥ 1:36am Matt from Springfield: YES! "Dream Police", this is a PidgeRock™ track!
	♥ 1:36am Brian in UK: @Joe I remember racing back from visiting my friend in Manchester 200 miles on my motorbike to collect Ackles' American Gothic from the shop when it came out 'cause it had to be ordered in. '72?
	♥ 1:38am Joe McG: @Brian: Great story...and great taste!
	1:39am Julie: I like to pretend that dream police was a really cool 70s tv show
	♥ 1:40am Matt from Springfield: For RSD "specials", I got 2 new re-releases of classic albums on 180g "heavyweight" vinyl: The Electric Prunes and Van Dyke Parks' first solo album. Among the cooler CDs I picked up were Brian Eno's "Music For Films" (speaking of film soundtracks...), 2 Mazzy Star albums, and the OUT OF PRINT Yoko POB album, and The Kinks' Percy!
	♥ 1:40am Lonely Planet Boy: Matt - still in VA. I'm a librarian now. Seems I have a knack of moving from one dying profession to another :)
	♥ 1:41am Joe McG: I hope no one runs into any dream police tonight. Or police of any sort.
	♥ 1:42am Matt from Springfield: Well speak of The Kinks...! :) Hi there Julie! Any good hauls from RSD for you? "Dream Police" is high energy with a good tempo, woulda made an AMAZING theme song over an action-packed montage!
	♥ 1:42am Brian in UK: @Matt Is that VDPs Song Cycle?
	1:43am Julie: Percy is awesome..as is all mazzy star
	♥ 1:43am Joe McG: Wow, Matt, what a haul! You must be broke!
	♥ 1:44am Matt from Springfield: @LPB: "Data manager". "Cool data manager", even. You'll always be valued by us :) @Brian: VDP? @Julie: Thanks, you clued me in to both of those! :)
	♥ 1:44am Brian in UK: To think Jobriath was on Elektra!!!!!
	♥ 1:45am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: It's simple, locate what you MUST have, and check it out before you find other MUST haves and lose all your money! JOBRIATH! EFD smiles wherever he's at right now!
	♥ 1:45am Brian in UK: Van Dyke Parks.
	♥ 1:45am Joe McG: @Brian: I guess everybody wanted a David Bowie, even Jac Holzman!
	♥ 1:46am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: He was supposed to be the next David Bowie!!
	1:47am amEdeo: JOBRIATH! He is a man.
	♥ 1:47am Brian in UK: Talking independents. Holtzman is up there top of the tree.
	1:47am Julie: @Matt RSD was a bust, the few releases I wanted weren't even carried at all by the shops I went to. I did however by a used Melanie record.
	♥ 1:47am Joe McG: @A: A dead man, unfortunately.
	♥ 1:48am Matt from Springfield: @Brian: To answer your ?, YES. "Song Cycle" is his first album, from '68. (Though really he's good at song cycles in general, what with Smile and all).
	♥ 1:48am Lonely Planet Boy: Chris Richards in Wash Post reports that "record labels" will not accept RSD "specials" as returns. Puts the consumer in a conundrum.
	♥ 1:49am Brian in UK: @Matt I used to own it half a lifetime ago. Would be interested to know your thoughts when you have had a listen.
	♥ 1:50am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: Aw, better luck next time. But it's a good opportunity to even find some used vinyl. (Though the CDs and 45s were the best part today, used vinyl they had was mostly uninspiring). @Brian: Sure, will do!
	1:50am Holly in NC: @Julie - I have the hugest soft spot for Melanie, as my first employer, who I adored (still do), LOVED her and taped me all of her lps.
	1:50am Julie: Yess yesss yess this song!!
	♥ 1:51am Matt from Springfield: Woooooo! "Cambodia"! A moment of reflection, for all those who vanished in Cambodia...
	1:52am Ellie: i'm loving this playlist and will definitely be tuning in again!!
	1:52am Julie: Those first two Kim albums are so good
	♥ 1:52am Joe McG: Excellent, Ellie, thanks for the nice words!
	♥ 1:54am Brian in UK: @Joe when is the Singles Going Steady this year. Usual time?
	♥ 1:55am Joe McG: @Brian: Yep, right around Record Fair time. I think the Record Fair is in November again, maybe for the last time since it might move to the spring instead. I'm not sure if the singles will move with it! I think so.
	♥ 1:58am Matt from Springfield: Yeah, trippy soul! Love the Dramatics!
	♥ 2:00am Joe McG: @Matt: The guitar bits on this record kill me.
	♥ 2:03am Brian in UK: This is not recorded in a flat on the Holloway Road. Norf Lunnon
	2:03am fleep: A cover of Telstar? Too much.
	♥ 2:03am Joe McG: No, and no one was killed in the making of this record!
	2:05am Marmalade Kitty: Good morning joe. wow what a set!
	♥ 2:06am Matt from Springfield: Morning, MKitty!
	2:06am Holly in NC: If you haven't seen last year's video of Kim Wilde slightly tipsy (sweetly, over holidays, post party) on subway singing, you need to check out post-haste, smiles guaranteed
	2:08am Marmalade Kitty: Morning, Matt!
	2:08am Holly in NC: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 2:08am Brian in UK: Check Rob Weisberg's show last night for some real Cambodian music.
	2:15am frank's brain: spanish bullfighers. always spanish bulllfighters. how 'bout portuguese bullfighters?
	2:17am Julie: He's 65 today..crazy..
	♥ 2:17am Joe McG: Hey, Marmalade Kitty! Glad you liked the set! Hey, Frank's Brian! I'm holding out for the Mexican bullfighter.
	2:18am Holly in NC: Such a great song - thank you, Joe! What the hell, what the heck ;-)
	2:18am Julie: oh yes Holly I saw that, it's really sweet
	2:19am frank's brain: fran;s brian. i like that.
	2:20am KP: Winter is coming.
	♥ 2:21am Matt from Springfield: All 8 bits spent! ;)
	♥ 2:23am Matt from Springfield: WOOOOHOOOO!! 78 chipmunk!
	2:23am Holly in NC: 45 rpm kinda relevatory!
	2:29am Holly in NC: Roller Biscuit!
	♥ 2:30am Joe McG: You may never get this song out of your head again.
	2:30am Julie: Yeah seriously..where's my skates
	2:34am Holly in NC: Julie has 1st claim on earworms. Yesterday: I'm on a boat, a mfn boat... Roller Boogie didn't displace
	2:35am frank's brain: anika.
	2:36am Julie: Hehe Holly..I was relieved to see that I wasn't the only one who was hearing that in my head last night, friend did the same.
	2:37am Holly in NC: Like this Anika ep. Her Chromatics cover almost out Chromatics the Chromatics. Kinks cover ptob weakest cut
	♥ 2:37am Joe McG: mmmmmmmmmmm motorboat!
	2:38am fleep: Cowbell
	2:40am Julie: More cowbell
	♥ 2:41am Matt from Springfield: The only prescription, worth a description!
	2:41am frank's brain: brigitte bardot.
	2:44am Holly in NC: Comment board just referenced 2 of best snl skits ever. Collective conscious.
	2:45am Holly in NC: Conscience. Ugh.
	♥ 2:45am Matt from Springfield: Psychedelico do Brasil!
	♥ 2:46am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: Or would "collective consciousness" be what you meant? More like collective barely consciousness at this hour... ;)
	2:47am Julie: We are collectively conscious, aren't we?
	♥ 2:47am Matt from Springfield: CLOTHILDE!!! And what la swinging mademoiselle she is!
	2:48am css: I am so in love with how they used to record drums.
	♥ 2:49am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: Add all of us together, I think we are. Unless we're dreaming we are.
	♥ 2:51am Joe McG: @css: I totally agree with you!
	2:51am teilhard: music's so good you're keeping me awake
	♥ 2:52am Joe McG: @teilhard: That's music to MY ears, my friend!
	2:54am Holly in NC: Roxy is hitting the spot Joe, thank you
	2:55am sporkman: It's so good that my brain is even mushier as I'm trying to setup reverse DNS for IPv6. (Nerd things)
	♥ 2:55am Joe McG: @Holly: Gotta go out on a high! Thanks to everybody for listening tonight, great to be back!
	2:57am fleep: Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 2:58am Matt from Springfield: And another fine show retreats into our collective memory! Thanks as always for the music, Joe! Have a good night everyone!
