	12:06pm βrian: "There goes the neighborhood." (No, not you, Holly!)
	12:06pm KP: Good afternoon, Mike
	12:07pm Dean: The phrase "highly illogical" is itself illogical, inasmuch as logic pertains to binary states of affairs, on or off, 1 or 0, yes or no, true or false.

	12:07pm mauri: Ayelogical
	12:08pm fleep: Greetings, Mike Sin and Sin-thesizers. Got yer email. Image is from 1987, btw.
	12:08pm βrian: Any songs by George Takei, Mike?
	12:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Mike Sin!
	12:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: It must be official Hawkwind Day at ol' FMU. Marty played some about an hour ago.

	12:12pm Brian in UK: Could be the fortieth anniversary of the photograph.
	12:14pm Doug Schulkind: I worked for 10 years at that corner, 50th & Broadway (but across the street).
	12:15pm Holly in NC: Great show so far, Mike!
	12:16pm Brian in UK: Doug, what was the best night? Week days or weekend.
	12:16pm adrienn_e: tuned in from Circolo Colombo!
	12:18pm Mike East: Was watching the last episodes of Boardwalk Empire last week and was thinking I should get some Brian Jonestown Massacre. Any albums recommended?
	12:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: I was just listening to this BPreston album last night! Trying to put together a mix CD for my friend doing field work in Alaska. He needs it.
	12:19pm Doug Schulkind: I didn't work ON the corner, Brian in UK. My pimp did that you silly!
	12:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hahaha, Doug! Maybe those sort of work conditions are different in the UK.
	12:20pm Doug Schulkind: One of the first rock concerts I attended had Billy Preston and then Ravi Shankar opening for George Harrison.
	12:20pm MattBelow: Hey-a Mike et all!
	12:21pm Parq: Billy Preston was the first person ever to do a pop music concert at Radio City Music Hall, ca. 1974. A guy I knew who was a stagehand at the Music Hall told me Billy came in every night after the last stage show for weeks, practicing on the Mighty Wurlitzer.
	12:21pm ndbob: wow Doug!
	12:23pm Nate K: Is this song from the Sins album that has the one about Sally Kirkland?
	12:25pm Mike Sin: re: Brain Jonestown Massacre Take It from the Man! or Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request
	12:26pm Mike East: Thanks, deejay! I'll keep my eye out. I'm due for a trip to yon record shop.
	12:27pm Mike Sin: Re: Original Sins "Sally Kirkland" is on "Out There"
	12:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: MattBelow! xoxoxo
	12:36pm Polyus: Weird that it has taken me so long to hear much SRC stuff, even having grown up in MI. Really good.
	12:37pm Holly in NC: Love Sally Kirkland. Best of all Original Sins though is the 7'' with their ode to dating an underage lass ("Just 14") b/w their cover of the Archies "Sugar Sugar!" !
	12:39pm Sonny Rickles: Happy Friday, Mike! You're the best!
	12:44pm Nate K: @Holly, the B-side of which was on my 2015 marathon premium.

	1:25pm βrian: We like to go "down there, " where the drummer stream lives.
	1:27pm Sue P.: "I don't know what I'm doing," says Mike Sin. This from a man who has engineered some of the most rockin' live sets on these same airwaves. Modesty becomes you, sir.
	1:32pm Doug Schulkind: @Sue P Are you saying that overseeing a poorly engineered live set would be committing some sort of mic sin?
	1:37pm David Shortell: Garfunkel is performing at the State Theatre in New Brunswick tonight.
	1:38pm Sue P.: Oh, Doug, I so appreciate your pun though I cannot condone punnage in general.

	2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Early on - I thot Echo & the Bunnymen knew a bunch of mystical secrets I had to discover. Later I read 'Porcupine' was mostly about frustration making the album itself & suchlike...Well it's still good!
	2:22pm KP: I wonder if Moonlight Mile on reissue is any different. There's one way to find out!
	2:24pm SeanG: heard fabs play this yesterday-love it
	2:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whereas Nick Drake did know mystical secrets: www.algonet.se... ...
