	♥ 10:02pm Funky16Corners: Whatup?
	10:03pm Kris Holmes: Hey Larry, thanks for tuning in!
	♥ 10:04pm Funky16Corners: Good evening!
	♥ 10:05pm Funky16Corners: It's My Thing!
	10:07pm Kris Holmes: Such a "live" production
	♥ 10:07pm Funky16Corners: Have you heard the car commercial that uses her song with Osaka Monarail?
	10:08pm Peter Mac: hey Kris, tuned in! Woo, Nina
	♥ 10:08pm Funky16Corners: Love this Nina! Big fave
	10:09pm Kris Holmes: i don't know that i saw the commercial.
	10:09pm Kris Holmes: Hey Peter. Thanks for tuning in!
	♥ 10:10pm Funky16Corners: The song is I Am What I Am. I'll be damned if I can remember the brand of car
	♥ 10:10pm Little Danny: Heya Kris 'n' all! Listening from my parents' house in PA
	10:11pm Kris Holmes: Hey Dan! You up in PA? Everything OK?
	♥ 10:13pm Little Danny: Yeah, and yeah! Parents are good, with the usual dark, comforting, depressive cloud hanging over all us. I'd be worried it weren't here.
	10:15pm Kris Holmes: hahaha, well that's ok then!
	♥ 10:22pm Funky16Corners: Now I can't remember if I have this Bobby Byrd 45.
	10:22pm Kris Holmes: you have to have it!! you need it!
	♥ 10:23pm Cubs Win: I can't get enough.
	♥ 10:23pm Doug Schulkind: That James Brown was pretty good. Does he have any other records?
	♥ 10:23pm Funky16Corners: Come to throw that last handful of dirt on the Mets, have you?
	♥ 10:24pm Uncle Michael: It's not personal.
	10:24pm Kris Holmes: No, he was a one hit wonder I think?
	10:25pm Kris Holmes: Maybe I have one more 45 by him? I'll play it in a sec.
	♥ 10:26pm Uncle Michael: Best known for being Bootsy's former boss, I believe.
	10:28pm Kris Holmes: Probably
	♥ 10:28pm Little Danny: @Kris: do you a favorite James Brown funk side? Mine are consistently "There Was a Time," followed immediately by "Give It Up or Turn It Loose." Choosing some favorite James Brown productions for other artists would be a much more difficult challenge, howevs
	♥ 10:29pm Funky16Corners: Good Foot
	10:29pm Kris Holmes: Oh man, that's tough, I don't know off hand. There Was A Time is up there though.
	10:30pm Kris Holmes: Tough to beat Papa's Got A Brand New Bag
	♥ 10:30pm Uncle Michael: King Heroin
	♥ 10:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey, he just said "FOUR"
	10:31pm Kris Holmes: he got it finally
	♥ 10:32pm Little Danny: I could swear someone was talking about "King Heroin" on WFMU recently. Was it you Uncle M?
	♥ 10:32pm Uncle Michael: Not me, but I would!
	♥ 10:33pm Little Danny: "Sex Machine" would definitely be in my top five funky James Browns
	♥ 10:33pm Funky16Corners: Philly represent!
	♥ 10:34pm Uncle Michael: I like early James when you can hear him sketching out the notion of funk...Night Train and the like.
	♥ 10:39pm Funky16Corners: Awwwwww yeah
	♥ 10:39pm Little Danny: I'd never thought about "Night Train" that way, but I kinda hear ya. It's all rhythm vamps and foregrounded percussion
	♥ 10:40pm Little Danny: Some stone classics this evening, Kris!
	♥ 10:40pm Uncle Michael: That moment when you discover Dennis Coffey's a white guy...
	10:40pm Kris Holmes: hahahaha
	♥ 10:41pm Funky16Corners: Funk Brothers percussion line
	10:41pm Kris Holmes: Detroit FTW
	♥ 10:41pm Uncle Michael: At that point, James is already taking r&b to a new place...maybe only the Isley's were there already, too.
	10:42pm Kris Holmes: Isley's were definitely close behind
	♥ 10:46pm Little Danny: There were some very early isolated examples of the funk aesthetic in the early '60s, but they were generally outliers and/or accidents. And I'm of course blanking on artist names or song titles
	♥ 10:47pm Funky16Corners: Kansas City funk
	10:47pm Kris Holmes: Travis Wammack "Scratchy" is early example of something close to a classic breakbeat
	♥ 10:51pm Little Danny: Marie Knight's "To Be Loved By You" has some weird and inadvertently funk-ish rhythms
	♥ 10:52pm Funky16Corners: Yvonne Fair 'Say Yeah Yeah'
	10:53pm Kris Holmes: There's a Ramsey Lewis 45 that sounds like proto drum & bass too, on Argo, from the late 50s/early 60s.
	♥ 10:55pm Funky16Corners: SHA-SHEER, I think
	♥ 10:57pm Little Danny: Haha, cats are so proud when it comes to their fur coats
	♥ 10:58pm Funky16Corners: We keep the air on and our two black cats spend their day lounging in the hot, sunny bay window
	11:00pm Kris Holmes: cats are ridiculous
	♥ 11:00pm Funky16Corners: I must hit the sack, my friends. Up at 6 with the boys to start my long march to midnight. Great tunes as always Kris!
	♥ 11:02pm Funky16Corners: Humpty Dump! I can stay up for some Johnny Otis-related ish
	11:03pm Kris Holmes: Goodnight Larry, thanks for staying up. Apparently there's a Johnny Otis doco in the works.
	♥ 11:04pm Little Danny: I sorely regret getting rid of my MJC first issue of the Louis Chachere during the ill-advised period when I'd decided I didn't need mod/funky organ instros in my life. Oh the irony.
	11:05pm Kris Holmes: Fail Dan :(
	♥ 11:07pm Little Danny: I know, I know. The lesson? Don't get rid of anything, ever!
	11:07pm Kris Holmes: ha
	♥ 11:10pm Uncle Michael: I'm turning in too. G'night friends. Thanks, Kris.
	♥ 11:11pm Little Danny: Pleasant dreams LG and UM
	♥ 11:15pm Little Danny: good lord that Little Rock story
	♥ 11:17pm Andrew Waterloo: this is great :)
	11:17pm Kris Holmes: yeah she was snarling at me for causing her to get her huge ass off her stool
	11:20pm Kris Holmes: Thanks Andrew, welcome.
	♥ 11:42pm Little Danny: This is an outstanding set
	11:43pm Kris Holmes: weirdest set of the night lol
	♥ 11:52pm Little Danny: that Packers 45 log was perversely interesting
	11:55pm Kris Holmes: i thought so, lol at NZBC playing the wrong side.
	♥ 11:59pm Little Danny: Great show my man. I've been meaning to ask you about the mod scene in '60s NZ. Next time we meet up.
	11:59pm Peter Mac: Fun show, thanks Kris
