	2:07pm Josh: I love this version.
	2:14pm still b/p: Savage Dobie Gillises!
	2:14pm drr: can we expect Jingle Dogs soon?
	2:15pm drr: P.S.: always enjoy the math puzzlers you get to solve when commenting. This was a particularly puzzling one.
	2:15pm Matt F: Gonna have to wait til Xmas. And probably not then either.
	2:17pm drr: Tell me what part of Jingle Bells has to do with Christmas. It's about sleighing, which is entirely appropriate to the season. More Clear Channel bullshit, I suppose.
	2:18pm L Ketchum Esq: Cheerio Matt!
	2:18pm Matt F: The math puzzlers are 90% of the fun.
	2:19pm Matt F: The other 10% is when the show is finally over at 4 PM!
	2:20pm Matt F: I say Lewis! Cheerio!
	2:21pm pacific standard simon: Trust me, when I have to listen to this show at work, it's 100% of the fun.
	2:23pm pacific standard simon: Not being Christ-ian I really appreciate those non-Jeebus holiday tunes.
	2:23pm Sean B.: You got to be shitting me... The Take off of Joy Division's "Interzone" by golly strange like good.
	2:24pm still b/p: "Stab a motherfucker in the back" had a goodwillish 'n twinkly holiday feel.
	2:27pm Nate K: I still get nervous when web DJs curse.
	2:28pm MattBelow: Spatial sounds!
	2:29pm pacific standard simon: They don't have to put on a long track when they gotta go weewee -- just whip out the Gatorade bottle and there you go!
	2:30pm Matt F: That ain't gatorade!
	2:32pm still b/p: Dump THAT on a victorious coach.
	2:35pm drr: A bass player I know refers to that as "Evian Gold".
	2:36pm Ralph & Susan (UK): Rockinitis is very enjoyable
	2:36pm Matt F: Peeland Spring.
	2:36pm pacific standard simon: Seattle, as a matter of fact, has a big problem with full Gatorade bottles alongside the highway. I blame it on The Cramps.
	2:39pm MattBelow: The Bladder Cramps
	2:39pm Matt F: If they're full, that means people at least secure the caps before they toss em out the window...
	2:40pm Sean B.: Was raving 'bout Otis Spann with a friend of mine on the phone who lives in Hannibal, MO early this morning. Chuck Berry's legend is very much alive there = The Good, The Bad & The Ugly among the town folk there.I guess even among people who don't even know his music. Huhhh...IRONY.
	2:42pm Stanley: Outa sight!
	2:44pm John Funke: Wow, I remember seeing Artful Dodger open for the Kinks back in 1977. They were really good; them and the Kinks!
	2:45pm Matt F: Hey Johnzie! They were from Syracuse or Rochester or sumpin right? Artful Dodger, not the Kinks...
	2:47pm Sean B.: Fiveash !!!!!!!!!!!!........GO.
	2:50pm pacific standard simon: Nice avatar, Sean B.
	2:51pm Mike East: The Chellos made me wish I was on a two hour excursion...to nowhere. Mostly because that would mean its Saturday. Great stuff today, MattF
	2:51pm Sean B.: Thanx Simon. Long live the legend of good old Mr. Brown.
	2:52pm Sean B.: No coal here...lol.
	2:54pm pacific standard simon: If they pass the white port & lemon juice, though, smell the bottle first...
	2:55pm northguineahills: Been digging, gotta bounce. It took me a long time to appreciate Jerry Lee... i do now.
	2:59pm Sean B.: This set is damn perfect...;Thanks Matt. I Will Be The Judge Of When You Are Nailing IT. Do you understand?. Lol. YES!.
	2:59pm pacific standard simon: This is a GIT DOWN tune!
	2:59pm Sean B.: That's enthusiasm...
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: Amanda says she's doing 3-hour shows during the marathon. Any hope of the same from you, Matt?
	3:03pm pacific standard simon: Why o why didn't I get that premium? Now I got this Three Chord Monte T-shirt with holes in the armpits.
	3:04pm Stanley: Rogeeeee!
	3:05pm pacific standard simon: My "Joy Of Cooking" desk calendar today has a recipe for making flavored snow to eat. Just don't... you know. Just don't.
	3:06pm drr: Wow, I might bike over to the Domino Sound Record Shack which is two blocks from my house and tell them this S.E. Rogie is on the radio.
	3:06pm Matt F: PSS- Think I gotta stick with the tried & true 2 hour formula, owing to various other commitments, some FMU-related..
	3:07pm Matt F: drr- are they the same as the label?
	3:07pm pacific standard simon: I know, and some parole-related.
	3:09pm Sean B.: Said hello...out. Thanx.
	3:09pm John Funke: Their Wikiphrenia entry mentions that the Artful Dodger boys were from Fairfax, Virginia. Anglophilia recognizes no regional boundaries.
	3:12pm Matt F: There you have it folks. Thanks to our crack M.I.T.-based research team!
	3:12pm Monica: yo, matt! you're definitely makin' yourself happen over there. and it's sounding awesome over here.
	3:12pm Uncle Michael: I need some M.I.T. crack.
	3:13pm Matt F: Hey Mo! It's me happening and it freaks me out!
	3:14pm Hackensack Slim: John F, I saw the Kinks in 75. The openers were Cockney Rebel. I see a pattern here. Fine show, Matt.
	3:14pm Uncle Michael: Look at all the cool music I missed! It's been like this all week. Work is trying to spoil my fun.
	3:15pm still b/p: If you get MIT powder instead of crack, you lay it out in smoots for snorting.
	3:15pm Matt F: You also do way less jail time.
	3:16pm pacific standard simon: Bonus points if you can name the movie Matt just referenced.
	3:19pm still b/p: ...locked up just a little while in the house of PhD-tention.
	3:19pm Matt F: Happy Birthday Django!
	3:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - such an ♒Aquarian Dude.
	3:22pm earrie: Purty Django bday tribute, yeah-yeah.
	3:22pm pacific standard simon: If there's a radio show that Django doesn't fit, I don't want to hear it.
	3:24pm still b/p: That made a person want to play brushes nice and easy behind it And so does this one.
	3:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - nice picks - Thx.
	3:32pm pacific standard simon: And Charlie Christian.
	3:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - b. 1910 - Les Paul was all about Django, for one person...
	3:34pm drr: Matt f.: yes, same guy. It's a great, tiny record store that specializes in Jamaican sounds but has a little bit of everything.
	3:36pm John Funke: @H Slim, That's right it had to be November of 1975 when Artful Dodger opened for the Kinks on the "Schoolboys In Disgrace" tour at the Beacon theatre. I think it was Charlie that opened for the Kinks in '77.
	3:37pm drr: On Bayou Road, near Broad. Owner's name is also Matt.
	3:37pm Matt F: drr- well I'll be goddamned. Have meant to visit every time I've been to NOLA but always sidetracked by oysters, booze, or whatever, as tends to happen down there...
	3:38pm glenn: from an interview with richard and linda thompson, pre rancorous divorce - richard "django had everything a guitarist could want" linda "well, except for fingers"
	3:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ha ha ! Django & Jimi woulda played w/ their gawdam doodlebangers though if they had to...
	3:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...which sounds totally wrong in a @ least three ways...
	3:41pm Matt F: Speaking of Richard Thompson...
	3:41pm pacific standard simon: Wonder how long a list you could make of guitarists with missing or mangled digits? There's Jerry Garcia...
	3:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Tony Iommi...
	3:43pm glenn: you want armless musicians? www.dekedickerson.com...
	3:44pm earrie: Isn't this song called Black Waterside? Pretty sure this is first time I've heard it sung by a woman.
	3:44pm Hackensack Slim: Hound Dog Taylor had six fingers. Does that count?
	3:45pm earrie: Oh. Scratch that. D'oh reh, me.
	3:45pm pacific standard simon: @Hackensack Slim - Yeah, cuz he cut one of 'em off with a straight razor.
	3:46pm pacific standard simon: Awesome link, Glenn!
	3:46pm Matt F: Wait, so he started with seven fingers?
	3:47pm glenn: honestly, i think deke dickerson has the best website of any musician out there.
	3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think Hendrix' dad was born w/ a vestige of an extra finger removed @ birth...yeah quite the link glenn !
	3:47pm pacific standard simon: If you ever see the lyric sheet for the original version of this song, note that it's not spelled "for later", heh heh...
	3:49pm earrie: How's it spelled? I love this cover; I just heard for the first time recently.
	3:49pm still b/p: 5000 Fingers of Dr. T. No, wait...
	3:49pm glenn: yes, it's black waterside. you know who stole it for the zeppelins. linda thompson does a great version of it, speaking of her, but the "first" version is by anne briggs.
	3:49pm pacific standard simon: Those sixth fingers were just vestigial extra pinkies, and one of them got in the way one time too many.
	3:51pm Matt F: Bert Jansch did the version of Blackwaterside that Pagey stole pretty much note for note.
	3:53pm glenn: ooooh. matt makes a good point. i may be wr wr wr.
	3:54pm glenn: but then again, didn't he steal it for the yardbirds first, as white summer? so he stole from himself, sorta.
	3:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the music, Matt.
	3:55pm Matt F: True dat.
	3:55pm earrie: And Nick Drake and Donovan covered Jansch's version, too. It goes pretty far back in the folk tradition, no?
	3:57pm pacific standard simon: Yes, we likes dis show. It's grand. Thanks, Matt.
	3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Dylan & Paul Simon had blown thru the UK Folk scene too...we need a good long documentary about that Scene...Davy Graham was earlier than (the inestimable) Jansch (I don't mean w/ that tune specifically)...
	3:58pm glenn: it's one of the child ballads, i believe. it was sung a capella, but i think, (although i'm probably wrong) that anne briggs was the first to accompany it.
	4:00pm pacific standard simon: And THIS song is the same as "I'm Your Man"!
	4:00pm earrie: I found 'traditional folk tune', 'source not enitrely known' . Maybe River Blackwater in Ireland? when I went looking.
	4:00pm Matt F: You bet your ass it is.
	4:00pm pacific standard simon: From last year's premium.
	4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in fact there's a tweet on the homepage about 'Scarborough Fair' getting swiped from Public Domain...
	4:01pm L Ketchum Esq: boffo show, matt
	4:02pm northguineahills: came back for the end, woohoo!
	4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah Thx !
	4:03pm Stanley: Well, that's two hours I'm not going to get back. See you next week, Matt.
	4:04pm Matt F: Tanx everybody.
	3:17pm Parq: Listening to the archive. Laughing out loud at the segue out of the Doberman Gang spot. That was Orson Welles in the commercial, yeh?
