Listener comments!
	11:01am Marc Francis: HELLS YEAH!!!!

	11:03am V Priceless: Hi Mr Sin! Rock!
	11:06am Sonny Rickles: Very nice so far! Good morning Mike!
	11:07am SmokinJ: Nice surprise! Mornin' Mike! 8-)
	11:08am John W.: Saturday Rock City is already here! Saturday Rock City is with Mikey Sin!
	11:12am Miss Mailas: Glad to see you back here, Mike! Good morning, all!
	11:13am Santos L. Halper: Great start Mike. Zacharia! : ) Was listening to the Fringe Factory premium this week and noticed a song called Optical Sound; your inspiration?
	11:13am P-90: Happy Saturday Mike, thanks for filling in.
	11:13am Marc Francis: Good morning Miss Mailas!!! And everyone else!
	11:14am Stuart Rose: I tell you, Mike, when it comes to garage rock, power pop, and hard driving psychedelia, no jock on FMU has better ears than you. Where's your regular slot?
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like to say - Mike Sin can drop a Volume of Nuggets on demand. ...Where's his 24/7 stream ?
	11:18am SmokinJ: Mike plays the stuff my brain screams for! 8-)
	11:23am Marc Francis: Damn son. You are on fire.
	11:24am Miss Mailas: Seriously! MIKE SIN FOREVER!
	11:26am Stuart Rose: Rev, I like your idea for a Sinn 24/7
	11:39am Mark R.: I only heard this "House of Bamboo" nuthouse for the first time about a year ago. I was like, "OMG this is probably the greatest song ever recorded!" Thanks for sharing it with an unsuspecting world.
	11:43am Miss Mailas: Agreed, Mark. That song is very, very special indeed.
	11:44am Brian in UK: Hello Mike. My favourite Roulettes track used to be 'Long Cigarette'. Sill is, I guess.
	11:44am Sonny Rickles: A Pet Clark song?! Love it!
	11:45am Todd-o-phonic: A lot of us first heard The Roulettes via the "Long Cigarette inclusion on the My Generation comp. Great job as always Mike!
	11:48am Brian in UK: @Todd I remember it when it was released. I think they were Adam Faith's backup band. Ever heard his song 'Green Finger'? A belter.
	11:53am Mike Sin: Folks! Thanks for joining in and commenting! Wish I could but I just don't have the skillz to multi-task!
	11:56am Mailman Tom: Hey, great to hear you again, Mike !
	11:59am Gaylord Fields: Just answering "present" for roll call here at the Mike Sin/"The Long Cigarette" Appreciation Society.
	12:03pm Gaylord Fields: @Brian in UK: "I Don't Need That Kind of Lovin'" is the winner for me in the Adam Faith/Roulettes pairing.
	12:06pm David Shortell: I'm perusing the playlist and noticed "Zachariah". I first heard of the movie just last Sunday on David Ossman's birthday. The Firesign Theatre wrote it, based on Hesse's "Siddhartha". I saved it on my youtube "Watch Later" list: www.youtube.com...
	12:08pm David Shortell: It looks like Andy Williams' "House of Bamboo" came out after the Samuel Fuller film of the same name. Probably no connection, right?
	12:18pm David Shortell: Nelson Muntz takes issue with Mike Sin concerning Andy Williams: www.youtube.com...
	12:20pm Nate K: Jogging to Optical Sound like all true rockers do.
	12:22pm tadpoles: Agree Mike, that Colin Blunstone version was, to put it in a phrase from the time, terrific! And how come that Pink Floyd EP is available only in such limited numbers to make it $300 on eBay? To put it in a phrase from the time - pathetic!
	12:24pm SeanG: hot damn this is good
	12:30pm V Priceless: Yay Kinks!
	12:32pm Julie: hey you're playin my boys
	12:32pm Julie: from Percy no less!

	12:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yawn That was a nice nap. All rested up for the end of the show and what's to come.
	12:48pm DG: Wow, had no idea Sly was inspired by the Beatles (& were smart enough to "borrow" without copying the actual melody)...cool song though. I need to listen to more of them.
