Listener comments!
	♥ 2/10 10:07am Gary: Or should I call it "Putin on the Ritz" and use this gif: www.thepoke.co.uk...
	♥ 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Putin on the Ritz is the goofball chuckle of the day so far - & you haven't even started yet !! - Reminded of this somewhat wry PBS look @ Pop in Putin's Russia : www.pbs.org... ...& I compulsively link to 'How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin' : www.youtube.com... ...which @ least relates to a couple of this month's big topics...
	♥ 5:27pm Gary: Okay, I'm about six minutes into that video, RevRab, and it's totally fascinating. Probably won't finish it all before tonight's show here, but will definitely finish after ... thanks for sending it along!
	6:36pm glenn: apparently don mclean bought it in a balloon accident today.
	♥ 6:37pm Gary: What?!?!?!?
	6:38pm glenn: his hot air balloon went down.
	6:39pm glenn: wfmu.org...
	♥ 6:41pm Gary: Wow. ... speechless.
	6:42pm glenn: especially considering the context of finding out about it from ken and andy.
	♥ 6:51pm Gary: Going to play three things before we officially begin ... all from this compilation: radiomolotov.blogspot.com...
	♥ 6:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...considering source, wishful thinking on their part then I suspect ; ) ...
	♥ 6:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they'll be russian to join us here any minute...
	♥ 6:56pm Gary: Well, I'll try not to borscht them to death
	6:58pm ndbob: evening Gary and everyone!
	♥ 6:58pm Gary: Going to try and include the country of origin of each of the songs tonight.
	♥ 6:58pm Gary: We'll always have Perestroika
	♥ 6:59pm Gary: Evening, ndbob!
	6:59pm glenn: man. it was all a hoax.
	7:00pm Holly in NC: Well that is my fave header photo of the week, hands down.
	7:00pm carol: hey gary! i was outta town last week but i made it back :)
	♥ 7:01pm Gary: Holly! I used to have a CD by him ... he's a Ukrainian comedian
	♥ 7:01pm Gary: Carol!
	7:03pm ndbob: @Holly How is the weather there?
	7:03pm glenn: it's not zlad, is it?
	7:04pm northguineahills: I have an interview tomorrow morning, but my circadian rhythms have way off, only sleeping from 12:30-4:00am and 10:00-12:00. I haven't had any caffeine in three days. So, I'm considering drinking a lot of alcohol, or taking some Nyquil, neither option appeals to me.
	♥ 7:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - alcohol ! ...there's an idea...
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: NGH, how about almond milk?
	7:07pm Doug Schulkind: Half a pound of tupenny rice, half a pound of treacle, that's the way the money goes, POP goes the Bodega!
	♥ 7:08pm Gary: Doug!
	7:08pm northguineahills: I have almond milk. But, once I wake at four, nothing gets me to sleep. Last night I tried a beer and a dram of scotch, but it did nothing. Maybe an almond milk cocktail!
	♥ 7:09pm Gary: Alas, just water for me for the next two hours, fifty minutes, but I would otherwise join you with an almond cocktail
	♥ 7:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...almond & wodka - what would you call that...
	♥ 7:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...aside from breaking even on Potassium...
	♥ 7:12pm Gary: A Potassium Give 'N" Take?
	7:14pm glenn: almond milk and vodka? a nutty russian.
	♥ 7:15pm Gary: You're now listening to these guys: www.flickr.com...
	♥ 7:15pm Gary: glenn, I like the way you drink
	7:16pm glenn: i don't. i'm strictly a root beer man.
	7:16pm northguineahills: A friend asked me to go out, so, I'll go the easy route and try to crash before midnight.
	♥ 7:17pm listener james from westwood: howdy, gary and all!!
	7:17pm ndbob: Heya James!
	♥ 7:18pm listener james from westwood: ah, messer. quality pick.
	7:18pm northguineahills: During my insomnia, I've been watching non-stop curling. Apparently there's a curling club in the Bronx. I need to open a curling/bocce bar.
	♥ 7:18pm Gary: James!
	7:19pm glenn: curling RAWKS!
	7:20pm Jill B.: Good evening everyone.....Mom here!
	7:28pm carol: I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! and video!!!!!
	7:29pm ndbob: heya Gary's mom!
	♥ 7:29pm Gary: Oh, Carol, you totally came on the right night! I think you're gonna enjoy quite a bit of stuff coming up ... ;)
	7:30pm carol: i always love your stuff!!!! i gotta go back to the archives for last week too
	7:30pm Holly in NC: @ndbob -HORRIBLE, and for once problems are NOT due to silly Southerners being unprepared/not knowing how to deal. Honest to god perfect shitstorm. *outside proof - tonights's Duke/UNC game cancelled as Duke bus can't get to campus to p/u Duke players to drive to CH. Anyone who follows college basketball knows this is serious! Fully expect to lose power later tonight, but have flashlight & candles & a lantern at the ready, laptop & phone fully charged, several books & tons of canned fish and red wine. I figure I'll need to stay where I am 'til Friday, and thankfully can do so. Would also like to say folks in my 'hood are being AMAZING. Several neighbors are currently walking the 2 I-85 exits in our area to bring water, hot drinks and protein bars to stranded folks, and everyone who has extra rooms/floor space has been entering themselves into a data base via our listserv, which we've shared w Durham police, so they can start bring vulnerable people down from the highway to our houses for shelter. I am NOT in my own neighborhood, am dog-sitting across town in a house where I am now totally trapped due to crazy-long iced uphill driveway - but I'm so proud of my hood. Go Duke Park! Hi Mom!
	7:31pm glenn: dolphin? walrus? can polar bear be far behind?
	♥ 7:32pm Gary: I can promise you a fish coming up soon, glenn, that much I can promise you
	7:33pm ndbob: @Holly That's great that people are so prepared - and that you and others are being so generous:)
	7:33pm glenn: holly's not kidding. news.nationalpost.com...
	♥ 7:33pm Gary: Whoa, holy crap, that sounds harrowing, Holly
	7:34pm Jill B.: Hi NC Holly. We went through a similar storm here in Oregon starting last Thursday....16 inches of snow, burst water line, power outages, roads impassable. But today! 55 degrees! There is a silver lining out for you.....just stay warm and safe and inside!
	♥ 7:36pm Uncle Michael: Greetings!
	♥ 7:36pm Gary: Unka Michael!
	♥ 7:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Here in NewHampshuh - snow is not news - but 16 inches @ once ?? - for a place not used to it - ?!?! I feel bad for the oh-fficials in Atlanta, really... - You go in NC. Always nice when cynicism gets a kick in the backside.
	♥ 7:37pm Uncle Michael: I need to buy my groceries in the bodegas that sell this madness.
	7:38pm northguineahills: Aw man, Duke's bball team sliding off the road would be a service to humanity (sorry, old Duke prejudice, just kidding [Durham-Chapel Hill is 11 miles/18km]). Hopefully we'll get the 8"s we're supposed to get here by tomorrow morning.
	♥ 7:39pm David: Chiming in late, but I think the album title might mean "Thank you my sweetheart", although you might just want to post the original title. And the G (г) is always pronounced as a "hard g" as in Gary.
	♥ 7:39pm Gary: You had 16 inches of snow in Oregon, Mom? that's crazy
	7:39pm carol: i was up in portland for all the inches. it was really fun :(
	♥ 7:40pm Gary: David! Howdy and thanks for the clarification/info
	♥ 7:40pm Uncle Michael: The Russian Tom Waits!
	7:42pm Doug Schulkind: Oh my, Holly. That sounds equal parts dystopian/utopian. Stay warm and safe!!
	♥ 7:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...all the Tom Waits..eses - try & sound like weird Weimar Germans or bums anyhow !...
	♥ 7:42pm David: My pleasure - although I just thought of an important exception to that pronunciation rule for those playing at home. Not important now, though ;-)
	♥ 7:46pm Uncle Michael: Is that photo of a young David McCallum playing Ilya Kuryakin undercover in drag?
	7:48pm Holly in NC: Meteorologists got this one right and unbelievably local governments listened. All nearby school systems (Durham, Wake, Orange counties) were closed today, which seemed beyond silly when at noon skies were still totally clear. Then WHAM! Like a dump truck from the sky. If the school buses were on the road this afternoon.. well, I don't want to contemplate. Apparently large numbers of my neighbors are now forming human chains at the exits to push cars up the hills. BRAVO. @Doug - quite the opposite! xo
	♥ 7:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - ah - Man from Uncle (Michael) sparing no extreme to infiltrate the Iron Curtain...
	7:49pm glenn: can i have an awwwwwww. olympics.cbc.ca...
	7:50pm glenn: i guess nobody down there has snow tires, eh holly?
	♥ 7:53pm Gary: @UncleMichael -- the guy in the pic is someone I used to have a CD by and whose name I forget now ... Ukranian comedian
	♥ 7:57pm Uncle Michael: I believe you. None of the David McCallum tracks I have are glam.
	7:57pm ndbob: I need to go .. excellent first hour Gary!.. @Holly Hope all goes well!
	7:57pm Holly in NC: @Glenn - Far more people than you'd think do! Lots of people here (generally unnecessarily) have vehicles ready to drive across arctic tundra. Problem is ice, lots of it, all at once. Snow came first, then sleet, then ice. Really quickly, wasn't kidding when I said "dump".
	♥ 7:59pm Gary: Verka Serduchka is the guy's name ... just looked it up :)
	♥ 7:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - freezing rain can quickly make any sort of transpo just impossible - you might as well use skates !!
	♥ 7:59pm Gary: Have a great evening, ndbob!
	♥ 8:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Verka presumably not best buds w/ Putin.
	8:03pm glenn: the toronto ice storm in december knocked a lot of the hydro grid off line for 2 weeks. be prepared
	8:03pm Holly in NC: @glenn - you totally get an awwwww. for those Canadian cuties!
	♥ 8:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this 'Secret Museum' is the Real Stuff - like the equivalent of Country Blues... - oh yeah - ice can pull lines down & everything...
	♥ 8:05pm Uncle Michael: Danny Elfman's Russian is perfect!
	♥ 8:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - ha!
	8:08pm doca: Hey, Gary! Checking in later, but great theme for today!
	♥ 8:13pm Gary: Howdy, doca! Thanks!
	♥ 8:14pm listener james from westwood: been caught on the phone, but treated my caller to the russian tunes. great 1st hour!!
	♥ 8:17pm Gary: Thanks, james!
	8:19pm Jill B.: Gary, I am really loving tonight's selections......and, hey, it is not so loud that I can't take it.
	♥ 8:20pm Gary: Glad you're enjoying it, Mom!
	8:22pm northguineahills: Gary, I gotta run! Thanks again for your selecta ability and the blog! salud!
	♥ 8:23pm Gary: Enjoy the rest of your evening, NGH!
	8:28pm Doug Schulkind: This music is making me wanna join a four-man (person) bobsled. Who's with me?!
	♥ 8:28pm Uncle Michael: PICK ME!
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: I'm in, Doug!
	8:31pm Doug Schulkind: And now, representing the nation of Drummerstreamistan...
	♥ 8:32pm Gary: Give the Drummer, Stan
	♥ 8:33pm Uncle Michael: Michael Sam can be our pusher...as an homage to Putin.
	8:35pm Doug Schulkind: Sam we am!
	8:37pm Holly in NC: @Doug - just to continue bragging on my hood, right now 2 adults are out using saucers and cookie sheets to pack "Anita Hill", they will will stay out for several hours to make sure the hilliest street in the neighborhood is ready for kids tomorrow (did I mention that we all share 4 flexible flyers? That people leave out for other people to use?) And we are definitely a "hood", it's amazing none have been stolen over the years. Though in fact 3 bikes stolen last week, sigh.
	♥ 8:41pm Gary: SamWeAmistan!
	8:42pm Holly in NC: Whoa! Just realized y'all might think I made a very offensive not joke! Anita Street is a real street, which is very hilly with a wicked curve, and Anita Hill has been a prime Durham sledding spot for years. That is all.
	♥ 8:43pm Gary: I'm smiling, Holly. I knew what you meant!
	♥ 8:45pm Uncle Michael: I'm disappointed that it's not a tasteless joke.
	♥ 8:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we believe Anita Hill :-P ...
	8:47pm still b/p: I'm watching a potion of The Wild One, and I like this as soundtrack atmosphere.
	♥ 8:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - great film.
	♥ 8:49pm Gary: I think that movie takes place in Hollister, Calif., where I went to high school
	♥ 8:51pm Gary: ... or it was based on events that happened in Hollister.
	8:52pm still b/p: Hollywood hoodlum biker lingo is at full throttle.
	♥ 8:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - what are you rebelling against ? - whataya got ??
	8:54pm still b/p: Marlon don't exactly look at home on the bike when it's in motion. But that don't matter to his girl passenger who seems to love the smell of his jacket.
	♥ 8:55pm Uncle Michael: The film that made me love Lee Marvin. "I love you Johnny; let's go have a beer, and I'll beat the living Christmas out of you!"
	♥ 8:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& 'the beetles missed you !' - which maybe...
	8:56pm still b/p: That's the holiday song I want to hear this year.
	♥ 8:57pm Uncle Michael: "Don't that that from Chino...Chino needs that. It makes him feel like a big, strong man!"
	9:01pm Doug Schulkind: Speaking of dear Anita, Clarence Thomas just crawled out from under his rock to lament America's increasing over-sensitivity to race. What a prick.
	9:06pm still b/p: To borrow an apt line, "What color is the sky in your world, Clarence?"
	♥ 9:07pm Uncle Michael: He misses the America that had no sensitivity to race...His great-great-great-grandparent's America.
	♥ 9:08pm Gary: America. Over-sensitivity. Where's the unequal sign when you need it?
	9:09pm carol: this is cool
	♥ 9:11pm Gary: This band, Terrarium, is I think an "incognito" instance of the group Aquarium, which has been around since the 70s ...
	9:19pm still b/p: This is the Valentine song I want sung to me this year.
	♥ 9:20pm Gary: This awesome bit of Russkie rap goes out to The Carol
	9:21pm carol: yay!!! im really digging it!!!
	♥ 9:25pm Uncle Michael: kickin' set, Gary
	♥ 9:26pm Gary: Super Gracias, tío Miguel!
	♥ 9:28pm Uncle Michael: And it's becoming clear that Bodhi the cat likes Bodega Pop Live too.
	♥ 9:34pm Uncle Michael: Right. I'm not puffin' stuff anymore though.
	9:37pm Holly in NC: Super show Gary, thank you.
	♥ 9:38pm Doug Schulkind: Just back from walking the dog. What'd I miss?!?
	♥ 9:38pm Gary: Holly! Thank you for listening in. And I hope things become normalized there soon ... though the sledding sounds fun
	♥ 9:39pm Gary: If you must go back and listen to one song last set, Doug, my vote would be for Bad Balance
	♥ 9:44pm Doug Schulkind: It's a deal, Gary!
	♥ 9:44pm Gary: I'm doing my impression of Jesse now
	♥ 9:52pm Uncle Michael: Loved the show, Gary...see you all soon.
	♥ 9:52pm Gary: See you Friday, Michael!
	♥ 9:53pm Gary: Not that you haven't all heard this one fifty thousand times. But, still ...
	9:54pm carol: oh hilarious!
	♥ 9:54pm Gary: I like how when he sings "The present has no limit" it sounds like "the PRISON has no limit"
	♥ 9:55pm David: Great three hours again, Gary! Thanks!
	9:55pm carol: ha! yeah this was great! thanks again gary!
	♥ 9:56pm Gary: Thanks, gang! Have a wonderful night & see you soon I hope!

	♥ 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Putin on the Ritz is the goofball chuckle of the day so far - & you haven't even started yet !! - Reminded of this somewhat wry PBS look @ Pop in Putin's Russia : www.pbs.org... ...& I compulsively link to 'How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin' : www.youtube.com... ...which @ least relates to a couple of this month's big topics...

	7:03pm ndbob: @Holly How is the weather there?
	7:03pm glenn: it's not zlad, is it?
	7:04pm northguineahills: I have an interview tomorrow morning, but my circadian rhythms have way off, only sleeping from 12:30-4:00am and 10:00-12:00. I haven't had any caffeine in three days. So, I'm considering drinking a lot of alcohol, or taking some Nyquil, neither option appeals to me.
	♥ 7:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - alcohol ! ...there's an idea...
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: NGH, how about almond milk?
	7:07pm Doug Schulkind: Half a pound of tupenny rice, half a pound of treacle, that's the way the money goes, POP goes the Bodega!
	♥ 7:08pm Gary: Doug!
	7:08pm northguineahills: I have almond milk. But, once I wake at four, nothing gets me to sleep. Last night I tried a beer and a dram of scotch, but it did nothing. Maybe an almond milk cocktail!
	♥ 7:09pm Gary: Alas, just water for me for the next two hours, fifty minutes, but I would otherwise join you with an almond cocktail
	♥ 7:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...almond & wodka - what would you call that...
	♥ 7:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...aside from breaking even on Potassium...
	♥ 7:12pm Gary: A Potassium Give 'N" Take?
	7:14pm glenn: almond milk and vodka? a nutty russian.
	♥ 7:15pm Gary: You're now listening to these guys: www.flickr.com...
	♥ 7:15pm Gary: glenn, I like the way you drink
	7:16pm glenn: i don't. i'm strictly a root beer man.
	7:16pm northguineahills: A friend asked me to go out, so, I'll go the easy route and try to crash before midnight.
	♥ 7:17pm listener james from westwood: howdy, gary and all!!
	7:17pm ndbob: Heya James!
	♥ 7:18pm listener james from westwood: ah, messer. quality pick.
	7:18pm northguineahills: During my insomnia, I've been watching non-stop curling. Apparently there's a curling club in the Bronx. I need to open a curling/bocce bar.
	♥ 7:18pm Gary: James!
	7:19pm glenn: curling RAWKS!
	7:20pm Jill B.: Good evening everyone.....Mom here!
	7:28pm carol: I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! and video!!!!!
	7:29pm ndbob: heya Gary's mom!
	♥ 7:29pm Gary: Oh, Carol, you totally came on the right night! I think you're gonna enjoy quite a bit of stuff coming up ... ;)
	7:30pm carol: i always love your stuff!!!! i gotta go back to the archives for last week too
	7:30pm Holly in NC: @ndbob -HORRIBLE, and for once problems are NOT due to silly Southerners being unprepared/not knowing how to deal. Honest to god perfect shitstorm. *outside proof - tonights's Duke/UNC game cancelled as Duke bus can't get to campus to p/u Duke players to drive to CH. Anyone who follows college basketball knows this is serious! Fully expect to lose power later tonight, but have flashlight & candles & a lantern at the ready, laptop & phone fully charged, several books & tons of canned fish and red wine. I figure I'll need to stay where I am 'til Friday, and thankfully can do so. Would also like to say folks in my 'hood are being AMAZING. Several neighbors are currently walking the 2 I-85 exits in our area to bring water, hot drinks and protein bars to stranded folks, and everyone who has extra rooms/floor space has been entering themselves into a data base via our listserv, which we've shared w Durham police, so they can start bring vulnerable people down from the highway to our houses for shelter. I am NOT in my own neighborhood, am dog-sitting across town in a house where I am now totally trapped due to crazy-long iced uphill driveway - but I'm so proud of my hood. Go Duke Park! Hi Mom!
	7:31pm glenn: dolphin? walrus? can polar bear be far behind?
	♥ 7:32pm Gary: I can promise you a fish coming up soon, glenn, that much I can promise you
	7:33pm ndbob: @Holly That's great that people are so prepared - and that you and others are being so generous:)
	7:33pm glenn: holly's not kidding. news.nationalpost.com...
	♥ 7:33pm Gary: Whoa, holy crap, that sounds harrowing, Holly
	7:34pm Jill B.: Hi NC Holly. We went through a similar storm here in Oregon starting last Thursday....16 inches of snow, burst water line, power outages, roads impassable. But today! 55 degrees! There is a silver lining out for you.....just stay warm and safe and inside!
	♥ 7:36pm Uncle Michael: Greetings!
	♥ 7:36pm Gary: Unka Michael!
	♥ 7:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Here in NewHampshuh - snow is not news - but 16 inches @ once ?? - for a place not used to it - ?!?! I feel bad for the oh-fficials in Atlanta, really... - You go in NC. Always nice when cynicism gets a kick in the backside.
	♥ 7:37pm Uncle Michael: I need to buy my groceries in the bodegas that sell this madness.
	7:38pm northguineahills: Aw man, Duke's bball team sliding off the road would be a service to humanity (sorry, old Duke prejudice, just kidding [Durham-Chapel Hill is 11 miles/18km]). Hopefully we'll get the 8"s we're supposed to get here by tomorrow morning.
	♥ 7:39pm David: Chiming in late, but I think the album title might mean "Thank you my sweetheart", although you might just want to post the original title. And the G (г) is always pronounced as a "hard g" as in Gary.
	♥ 7:39pm Gary: You had 16 inches of snow in Oregon, Mom? that's crazy
	7:39pm carol: i was up in portland for all the inches. it was really fun :(
	♥ 7:40pm Gary: David! Howdy and thanks for the clarification/info
	♥ 7:40pm Uncle Michael: The Russian Tom Waits!
	7:42pm Doug Schulkind: Oh my, Holly. That sounds equal parts dystopian/utopian. Stay warm and safe!!
	♥ 7:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...all the Tom Waits..eses - try & sound like weird Weimar Germans or bums anyhow !...
	♥ 7:42pm David: My pleasure - although I just thought of an important exception to that pronunciation rule for those playing at home. Not important now, though ;-)
	♥ 7:46pm Uncle Michael: Is that photo of a young David McCallum playing Ilya Kuryakin undercover in drag?
	7:48pm Holly in NC: Meteorologists got this one right and unbelievably local governments listened. All nearby school systems (Durham, Wake, Orange counties) were closed today, which seemed beyond silly when at noon skies were still totally clear. Then WHAM! Like a dump truck from the sky. If the school buses were on the road this afternoon.. well, I don't want to contemplate. Apparently large numbers of my neighbors are now forming human chains at the exits to push cars up the hills. BRAVO. @Doug - quite the opposite! xo
	♥ 7:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - ah - Man from Uncle (Michael) sparing no extreme to infiltrate the Iron Curtain...
	7:49pm glenn: can i have an awwwwwww. olympics.cbc.ca...
	7:50pm glenn: i guess nobody down there has snow tires, eh holly?
	♥ 7:53pm Gary: @UncleMichael -- the guy in the pic is someone I used to have a CD by and whose name I forget now ... Ukranian comedian
	♥ 7:57pm Uncle Michael: I believe you. None of the David McCallum tracks I have are glam.
	7:57pm ndbob: I need to go .. excellent first hour Gary!.. @Holly Hope all goes well!
	7:57pm Holly in NC: @Glenn - Far more people than you'd think do! Lots of people here (generally unnecessarily) have vehicles ready to drive across arctic tundra. Problem is ice, lots of it, all at once. Snow came first, then sleet, then ice. Really quickly, wasn't kidding when I said "dump".
	♥ 7:59pm Gary: Verka Serduchka is the guy's name ... just looked it up :)
	♥ 7:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - freezing rain can quickly make any sort of transpo just impossible - you might as well use skates !!
	♥ 7:59pm Gary: Have a great evening, ndbob!
	♥ 8:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Verka presumably not best buds w/ Putin.
	8:03pm glenn: the toronto ice storm in december knocked a lot of the hydro grid off line for 2 weeks. be prepared
	8:03pm Holly in NC: @glenn - you totally get an awwwww. for those Canadian cuties!
	♥ 8:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this 'Secret Museum' is the Real Stuff - like the equivalent of Country Blues... - oh yeah - ice can pull lines down & everything...
	♥ 8:05pm Uncle Michael: Danny Elfman's Russian is perfect!
	♥ 8:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - ha!
	8:08pm doca: Hey, Gary! Checking in later, but great theme for today!
	♥ 8:13pm Gary: Howdy, doca! Thanks!
	♥ 8:14pm listener james from westwood: been caught on the phone, but treated my caller to the russian tunes. great 1st hour!!
	♥ 8:17pm Gary: Thanks, james!
	8:19pm Jill B.: Gary, I am really loving tonight's selections......and, hey, it is not so loud that I can't take it.
	♥ 8:20pm Gary: Glad you're enjoying it, Mom!
	8:22pm northguineahills: Gary, I gotta run! Thanks again for your selecta ability and the blog! salud!
	♥ 8:23pm Gary: Enjoy the rest of your evening, NGH!
	8:28pm Doug Schulkind: This music is making me wanna join a four-man (person) bobsled. Who's with me?!
	♥ 8:28pm Uncle Michael: PICK ME!
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: I'm in, Doug!
	8:31pm Doug Schulkind: And now, representing the nation of Drummerstreamistan...
	♥ 8:32pm Gary: Give the Drummer, Stan
	♥ 8:33pm Uncle Michael: Michael Sam can be our pusher...as an homage to Putin.
	8:35pm Doug Schulkind: Sam we am!
	8:37pm Holly in NC: @Doug - just to continue bragging on my hood, right now 2 adults are out using saucers and cookie sheets to pack "Anita Hill", they will will stay out for several hours to make sure the hilliest street in the neighborhood is ready for kids tomorrow (did I mention that we all share 4 flexible flyers? That people leave out for other people to use?) And we are definitely a "hood", it's amazing none have been stolen over the years. Though in fact 3 bikes stolen last week, sigh.
	♥ 8:41pm Gary: SamWeAmistan!
	8:42pm Holly in NC: Whoa! Just realized y'all might think I made a very offensive not joke! Anita Street is a real street, which is very hilly with a wicked curve, and Anita Hill has been a prime Durham sledding spot for years. That is all.
	♥ 8:43pm Gary: I'm smiling, Holly. I knew what you meant!
	♥ 8:45pm Uncle Michael: I'm disappointed that it's not a tasteless joke.
	♥ 8:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we believe Anita Hill :-P ...
	8:47pm still b/p: I'm watching a potion of The Wild One, and I like this as soundtrack atmosphere.
	♥ 8:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - great film.
	♥ 8:49pm Gary: I think that movie takes place in Hollister, Calif., where I went to high school
	♥ 8:51pm Gary: ... or it was based on events that happened in Hollister.
	8:52pm still b/p: Hollywood hoodlum biker lingo is at full throttle.
	♥ 8:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - what are you rebelling against ? - whataya got ??
	8:54pm still b/p: Marlon don't exactly look at home on the bike when it's in motion. But that don't matter to his girl passenger who seems to love the smell of his jacket.
	♥ 8:55pm Uncle Michael: The film that made me love Lee Marvin. "I love you Johnny; let's go have a beer, and I'll beat the living Christmas out of you!"
	♥ 8:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& 'the beetles missed you !' - which maybe...
	8:56pm still b/p: That's the holiday song I want to hear this year.
	♥ 8:57pm Uncle Michael: "Don't that that from Chino...Chino needs that. It makes him feel like a big, strong man!"
	9:01pm Doug Schulkind: Speaking of dear Anita, Clarence Thomas just crawled out from under his rock to lament America's increasing over-sensitivity to race. What a prick.
	9:06pm still b/p: To borrow an apt line, "What color is the sky in your world, Clarence?"
	♥ 9:07pm Uncle Michael: He misses the America that had no sensitivity to race...His great-great-great-grandparent's America.
	♥ 9:08pm Gary: America. Over-sensitivity. Where's the unequal sign when you need it?
	9:09pm carol: this is cool
	♥ 9:11pm Gary: This band, Terrarium, is I think an "incognito" instance of the group Aquarium, which has been around since the 70s ...
	9:19pm still b/p: This is the Valentine song I want sung to me this year.
	♥ 9:20pm Gary: This awesome bit of Russkie rap goes out to The Carol
	9:21pm carol: yay!!! im really digging it!!!
	♥ 9:25pm Uncle Michael: kickin' set, Gary
	♥ 9:26pm Gary: Super Gracias, tío Miguel!
	♥ 9:28pm Uncle Michael: And it's becoming clear that Bodhi the cat likes Bodega Pop Live too.
	♥ 9:34pm Uncle Michael: Right. I'm not puffin' stuff anymore though.
	9:37pm Holly in NC: Super show Gary, thank you.
	♥ 9:38pm Doug Schulkind: Just back from walking the dog. What'd I miss?!?
	♥ 9:38pm Gary: Holly! Thank you for listening in. And I hope things become normalized there soon ... though the sledding sounds fun
	♥ 9:39pm Gary: If you must go back and listen to one song last set, Doug, my vote would be for Bad Balance
	♥ 9:44pm Doug Schulkind: It's a deal, Gary!
	♥ 9:44pm Gary: I'm doing my impression of Jesse now
	♥ 9:52pm Uncle Michael: Loved the show, Gary...see you all soon.
	♥ 9:52pm Gary: See you Friday, Michael!
	♥ 9:53pm Gary: Not that you haven't all heard this one fifty thousand times. But, still ...
	9:54pm carol: oh hilarious!
	♥ 9:54pm Gary: I like how when he sings "The present has no limit" it sounds like "the PRISON has no limit"
	♥ 9:55pm David: Great three hours again, Gary! Thanks!
	9:55pm carol: ha! yeah this was great! thanks again gary!
	♥ 9:56pm Gary: Thanks, gang! Have a wonderful night & see you soon I hope!
