	9:17pm P: I have a feeling one of these tunes is going to appear on the premium.
	9:17pm glenn: i think i saw polyrock in 1980. they opened for television, if memory serves.

	♥ 10:12pm efd: YES Mike tp, was thinking the same on this listen.
	10:12pm Stevel: Unblinking Ear podcast is dynamite.

	11:20pm quietlyartistic: AWWWW YEAH! Bedazzler time!
	11:20pm greyhoos: I guess I was only partially paying attention to previous airings of this tune in weeks past, because I thought the singer kept proclaiming "I'm Jimmy Castor." Which I knew he wasn't.

	11:21pm Stevel: All the hits! All the time!
