Listener comments!
	11:53am Sem: So is it a manssiere or a Bro? I have time on my hands to ponder that one. Hello, Bill. Happy to arrive early and claim the Barcalounger.
	11:55am Bill Mac: Funny story.... I'll get to it...
	12:00pm fred: Hello Bill, Sem and all
	12:01pm Brian in UK: Ofcourse my cheque is in the post. Oh err sorry. Hello Bill, Sem & fred.
	12:04pm Bill Mac: Heeeyyyyyooooo Gentlemen!
	12:06pm Brian in UK: Glenn 'relentless' Branca
	12:07pm fred: I just have to play this louder, though I can't play it loud enough to do justice to the live experience at its best
	12:08pm Bill Mac: Did Branca inform Fripp or was it the other way around?
	12:10pm Bill Mac: There's some nice liner notes here to help me get some answers...
	12:13pm doctorjazz: Hi all! Saw Branca many years ago, Mudd Club, downtown NYC. It s really an amazing live experience, don't think it translates well to records.
	12:13pm fred: @Bill: don't forget Rhys Chatham, though Glenn Branca wouldn't mention him much
	12:17pm Bill Mac: I used to play Die Donnergotter a bit in the old days
	12:17pm Bill Mac: Doc!
	12:19pm fred: Wow, a Dylan track I actually like
	12:19pm Sem: Hahaha. fred.
	12:21pm Bill Mac: Lot of dislike for Dylan out there, me too I'm afraid. I'm trying to correct that
	12:21pm doctorjazz: Amazing to think that this was contraversial at the time, Dylan folkies were crying "sell out!"
	12:22pm doctorjazz: Mike Bloomfield guitar, I believe he's a monster!
	12:22pm P-90: Dylan and Branca, that's a show I'd grab tickets for, in a heartbeat
	12:22pm Bill Mac: I like this.... p-90!
	12:24pm doctorjazz: I played acoustic guitar with a harmonica around my neck for a bit in high school guess that qualifies me as a fan.
	12:24pm coelacanth∅: hey Bill and Zzzzzzero%ers -one of my favorite Dylan songs, that was
	12:26pm Bill Mac: CC! Yup, we don't play enough Bob here
	12:26pm Dropof Goldensun: Greetings y'all!
	12:27pm Bill Mac: Mr Goldensun!
	12:30pm Dropof Goldensun: Mr Goldensun was my father.
	12:30pm Franco Twinkie: I love this! I saw Lou Reed doing Magic and Loss at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. Rolling out of Griffith Park after the show was over, the city was on fire. It was the first night of the L.A. Riot of '92
	12:31pm Bill Mac: Sorry, Dropof then
	12:31pm Bill Mac: Wow.... hey Franco!
	12:32pm Dropof Goldensun: Loving the tracks so far!
	12:32pm doctorjazz: Some of the great non-singer singers.
	12:34pm Franco Twinkie: Mornin' Bill!
	12:34pm coelacanth∅: i'd be happier never hearing jonathan richman! but Dylan's terrible voice yes i could stand to hear more of now & then.
	12:37pm coelacanth∅: and Glenn Branca...i've wondered how much influence he got from japanese composer Somei Satoh.
	12:38pm coelacanth∅: i mostly like "the original modern lovers" but all the crap he's done since then has pretty well ruined it for me.
	12:42pm doctorjazz: Bringing it All Back Home was Dylan's 1st venture into electric music, but it was still part acoustic. HIGHWAY 61 WAS THE FIRST that was fully electric.
	12:44pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I know. Some times you just have the ask yourself 'why' But I still rock Old World frome the first album. Just like Sword of Damocles, it resonates.
	12:46pm Brian in UK: "Judas" said the man at the Manchester Free Trade Hall.
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: "desolatin row" on hwy 61 is acoustic too Franco i don't know that song. it's not on my copy of the album - but yeah i do like hearing a few songs after all. "she cracked" comes to mind.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: oh, i see Franco. i forgot that before the album "the original modern lovers" came out, the original modern lovers had an album called " the modern lovers"!
	12:53pm chresti: She cracked is a favorite of mine too
	12:55pm Bill Mac: Hey Chresti. Agreed!
	12:55pm chresti: Hello from 9:55 AM
	12:58pm Brian in UK: Journey to the centre of your Kalashikov.
	1:02pm Brian in UK: I misread your show title, bra for bar.
	1:07pm Franco Twinkie: The first time Chresti ever came to my place a billion years ago, she was in my studio playing records while I was trying(unsuccessfully) to get something going with her friend in the other room. She was playing The first Modern Lovers album, and dropped it on the cinder blocks the turntable was sitting on. Old World has a nasty skip that takes me back to that fateful day any time I play it.
	1:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wasn't very awake when I read the email this morning. Took me a while to get the "Macolytes" reference.
	1:11pm Bill Mac: Someone here came up with that one - I just ran with it.
	1:15pm Scraps: h’lo hey
	1:15pm Bill Mac: Hey ho Scraps!
	1:16pm fred: Scraps! Good morning my radio brother
	1:18pm Brian in UK: What-ho, Scraps. Bonzo fix.
	1:19pm Brian in UK: Pedant note. They were the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band at this point.
	1:19pm Bill Mac: Would that be considered early on?
	1:20pm Brian in UK: 1968ish.
	1:22pm Brian in UK: The doughnut in granny's Greenhouse. A euphemism for the outside toilet.
	1:23pm Brian in UK: Bill, was your Dad a Cosby fan?
	1:24pm Bill Mac: Monster fan - he grew up about 4 miles down south of us at about the same time.
	1:27pm Brian in UK: So I guess he missed all the hoo-ha about his private life. Did Cosby originate the term Fat Albert.
	1:28pm rw: Another Zzzzzzero Saturday! Rainy here which is nice, but I feel a little trapped inside the house.
	1:28pm rw: I just the other day figured out that Sparks aren't English.
	1:29pm Bill Mac: rw!
	1:29pm Brian in UK: Bill. Just made myself a dry martini. Raising a glass to your old man. (turn that rubbish off, call that singing, a cat could make a better noise.
	1:31pm Brian in UK: They had their first hits over here?
	1:32pm coelacanth∅: well lydon is an idiot, after all.
	1:38pm Bill Mac: Thanks Bri!
	1:39pm Stanley: Friends!
	1:41pm Bill Mac: Hey Chief!
	1:43pm Franco Twinkie: One night I was walking down Speedway in Venice with a friend to the liquor store and he said "That's where Johnny Rotten lives" My friend has a voice that really travels, so I look at the house and the Rotten One is sitting on his front porch looking at us. I was actually embarrassed. He looked so vulnerable all by himself.
	1:44pm Stanley: A pleasure to be here. Hope everyone's doing well.
	1:44pm coelacanth∅: hey Stanley! hey rw! the sun is shining now and it's beautiful out but i need to clean the apartment.
	1:46pm Stanley: I got myself a cleaner a few weeks ago. The flat is gleaming and no longer an embarrassment. She's a bit scary though.
	1:46pm Bill Mac: Yeah it's threatening to be a nice day here too.... whatsup with that?
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Sounds like 1 channel is out (but I'm listening on my phone, maybe it's just me .
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: Franco i'm sure Johnny liked the attention nonetheless.
	1:48pm doctorjazz: Can't hear Lee.
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: i've got both channels. Lee in one & Nancy in the other.
	1:49pm Dropof Goldensun: I'm at work just pretending it's not very nice outside.
	1:49pm Bill Mac: That's odd. I'm catching movement of both channels
	1:49pm Dropof Goldensun: I heard both channels from my computer.
	1:50pm fred: @Franco Twinkie: I think he's more interesting than he gets credit for, and that a lot of the blame for that is on him
	1:51pm Stanley: Reminds me of Ruth Underwood on marimba
	1:53pm Stanley: Them again! We had them on earlier. But digging.
	1:53pm fred: Beastie Boys!
	1:55pm Franco Twinkie: Ruth Underwood is amazing. Saw her up close when she was in The Mothers. She was a sight to behold.
	1:57pm Stanley: She was great on the 'Roxy and Elsewhere' recordings
	1:57pm Franco Twinkie: I was there!
	1:57pm Brian in UK: Was in the kitchen, missed the Ruth Underwood miasma.
	1:58pm Bill Mac: I didn't realize she was with Roxy.
	1:58pm Stanley: @Franco - far out. The Roxy or elsewhere?
	1:59pm Stanley: Haha Bill but Eddie Jobson was!
	2:01pm Bill Mac: I had a dense moment... just for that Roxy and elsewhere next set...
	2:02pm Stanley: A certain type of banditry, perhaps, Bill?
	2:04pm Brian in UK: @Stanley, cause he can banditry?
	2:05pm Franco Twinkie: Saw her with the premier of that band at the Hollywood Palladium earlier that year, then later at The Shrine and at Clairmont College with Captain Beefheart.
	2:05pm Stanley: @Brian, that's always the case
	2:06pm spodiodi: FZ ftw
	2:07pm Stanley: And the Horrible Eye
	2:09pm Franco Twinkie: I remember this moment like it was yesterday! We were so close i remember looking at Franks shoes which had little monsters painted on them saying " Eat My Toes"
	2:12pm Stanley: Elements of many FZ styles in that
	2:13pm Bill Mac: Now that was cleansing
	2:15pm Stanley: Well done, Franco, that sounds amazing. I caught him many times in UK, I suppose starting around 1977 or so.
	2:19pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, Stanley. We all have our time when we're running full tilt. Now I'm an old man in his bathrobe, but when I wad young....
	2:20pm Stanley: Bathrobe, eh? I gotta get one of those.
	2:24pm Franco Twinkie: I gotta get a bathtub, my aching bones. you know?
	2:26pm Stanley: Well, a bathrobe is the next best thing, I suppose. I was singing Lene Lovich's Lucky Number today - oo, oo!
	2:26pm Bill Mac: I wouldn't have a bathrobe unless I had a tub....
	2:26pm Brian in UK: So did Frank Z improve, stay the same or regress after the broken leg incident at the Rainbow. (PS Rainbow as a venue was a good).
	2:27pm Stanley: I put The Damned on at my college, back in the day. The audience smashed the place up! We all thought it was good.
	2:28pm Franco Twinkie: Actually, I do have an old claw foot tub. But it's behind the house full of dead leaves.
	2:29pm Dropof Goldensun: Play it Dave Greenfield!
	2:30pm rw: I had a girlfriend in college who was a huge Stranglers fan. I should have married her.
	2:31pm fred: @Franco Twinkie: How does it sound? I think there would be music potential with it, though touring would be tough
	2:33pm Stanley: Well, Brian, I think his leg got better.
	2:33pm Brian in UK: Bill, suppose there is no chance of 'The Court of the Crimson King' track.
	2:33pm Franco Twinkie: Look, everybody loves those original MOI records. I do! But things change. When I saw FZ I was a kid, and not much of a criic. But I must admit, some of the later stuff leaves me cold.
	2:42pm Brian in UK: Stanley, that is a politicians answer.
	2:42pm Franco Twinkie: RW! Digging this rain, or what.
	2:46pm Stanley: Lovely old KC this.
	2:47pm Brian in UK: Thanks Bill, it was cheeky to ask for the long title track this late. The cover for this album struck chords with Supergrass' first album cover.
	2:49pm Brian in UK: The joy of albums was that you could carry them around town and look cool. Never worked for tapes or CDs.
	2:49pm Bill Mac: I like this track but I like the alternate one with Judy Dyble singing it.
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: when i see people in town walking by with albums i always want to (& 1/2 the time do) say "what'd you get?"
	2:51pm Brian in UK: Thanks so much Bill. Christmas it is then for your next visitation. Drive safely.
	2:52pm Bill Mac: Not sure.... It's early yet, I could be back before Thanksgiving.
	2:53pm Brian in UK: Sales of albums has increased but nothing compared to 1,000,00 pre-orders for the new Beatles album in the Sixties.
	2:53pm Sem: Sounded great all afternoon from my Barcalounger, Bill. Thanks for the spins. See you and all next time we convene. I'll bring finger food.
	2:54pm Brian in UK: Hmmm fingers, of the chocolate variety.
	2:54pm fred: Thanks Bill, looking forward to hearing you at an unexpected time
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: there are 2 record stores in my town (both adequate not great) and usually when i see someone with a record it's a college student with a pretty good or excellent album.
	2:55pm Bill Mac: Folks great time today with no fluffs! I should be back soon!
	2:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Bill! You're tops. Now I can get dressed and make a sandwich. Nuthin' else to do.
	2:57pm rw: Hey FT! The rain and s nice. Trying to figure out some indoor projects to work on.
	2:58pm Brian in UK: Love to see an exhibition of Don's work.
	2:58pm rw: Thank you Mr. Mac! Always enjoy the Hour!
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: i need bleach for the mold which is everywhere because it's always raining &/or humid. i feel like i'm inside a Gabriel Garcia-Márquez story.
	2:59pm Stanley: Thanks Bill, always nice to hear you. Off now, to pick up my duck teriyaki
	3:00pm spodiodi: thanks, Bill Mac!
	3:01pm Brian in UK: It's Winifred Attwell.
	3:01pm chresti: Thanks! Nice effects!
	3:01pm Stanley: On the spoons?
	3:01pm Dropof Goldensun: Thanks Bill. Great show!
	3:02pm Bill Mac: That's the ticket!!!!!
	3:03pm Brian in UK: Here 'tis. www.youtube.com...
	3:04pm coelacanth∅: TURN THAT DOWN!
	3:05pm Bill Mac: That's ACE CC
	3:05pm coelacanth∅: What the hell are they even talking about?!
	3:05pm coelacanth∅: ...rest in peace Mr.Bill Mac's Father.
	3:05pm Bill Mac: I don't know but I get it....
	3:06pm coelacanth∅: mine will be joining him soon.
	3:06pm Brian in UK: Is there a better live film than Stop Making Sense. Well Rust Never Sleeps maybe.
	3:07pm Bill Mac: First time I heard this song was the Live movie
	3:07pm Stanley: Take care, Bill.
	3:08pm coelacanth∅: never seen the movie but i loved the shit outa that fear of music album. still do. (that and more songs...)
	3:10pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bill take care everyone

	1:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wasn't very awake when I read the email this morning. Took me a while to get the "Macolytes" reference.
	1:11pm Bill Mac: Someone here came up with that one - I just ran with it.
	1:15pm Scraps: h’lo hey
	1:15pm Bill Mac: Hey ho Scraps!
	1:16pm fred: Scraps! Good morning my radio brother
	1:18pm Brian in UK: What-ho, Scraps. Bonzo fix.
	1:19pm Brian in UK: Pedant note. They were the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band at this point.
	1:19pm Bill Mac: Would that be considered early on?
	1:20pm Brian in UK: 1968ish.
	1:22pm Brian in UK: The doughnut in granny's Greenhouse. A euphemism for the outside toilet.
	1:23pm Brian in UK: Bill, was your Dad a Cosby fan?
	1:24pm Bill Mac: Monster fan - he grew up about 4 miles down south of us at about the same time.
	1:27pm Brian in UK: So I guess he missed all the hoo-ha about his private life. Did Cosby originate the term Fat Albert.
	1:28pm rw: Another Zzzzzzero Saturday! Rainy here which is nice, but I feel a little trapped inside the house.
	1:28pm rw: I just the other day figured out that Sparks aren't English.
	1:29pm Bill Mac: rw!
	1:29pm Brian in UK: Bill. Just made myself a dry martini. Raising a glass to your old man. (turn that rubbish off, call that singing, a cat could make a better noise.
	1:31pm Brian in UK: They had their first hits over here?
	1:32pm coelacanth∅: well lydon is an idiot, after all.
	1:38pm Bill Mac: Thanks Bri!
	1:39pm Stanley: Friends!
	1:41pm Bill Mac: Hey Chief!
	1:43pm Franco Twinkie: One night I was walking down Speedway in Venice with a friend to the liquor store and he said "That's where Johnny Rotten lives" My friend has a voice that really travels, so I look at the house and the Rotten One is sitting on his front porch looking at us. I was actually embarrassed. He looked so vulnerable all by himself.
	1:44pm Stanley: A pleasure to be here. Hope everyone's doing well.
	1:44pm coelacanth∅: hey Stanley! hey rw! the sun is shining now and it's beautiful out but i need to clean the apartment.
	1:46pm Stanley: I got myself a cleaner a few weeks ago. The flat is gleaming and no longer an embarrassment. She's a bit scary though.
	1:46pm Bill Mac: Yeah it's threatening to be a nice day here too.... whatsup with that?
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Sounds like 1 channel is out (but I'm listening on my phone, maybe it's just me .
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: Franco i'm sure Johnny liked the attention nonetheless.
	1:48pm doctorjazz: Can't hear Lee.
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: i've got both channels. Lee in one & Nancy in the other.
	1:49pm Dropof Goldensun: I'm at work just pretending it's not very nice outside.
	1:49pm Bill Mac: That's odd. I'm catching movement of both channels
	1:49pm Dropof Goldensun: I heard both channels from my computer.
	1:50pm fred: @Franco Twinkie: I think he's more interesting than he gets credit for, and that a lot of the blame for that is on him
	1:51pm Stanley: Reminds me of Ruth Underwood on marimba
	1:53pm Stanley: Them again! We had them on earlier. But digging.
	1:53pm fred: Beastie Boys!
	1:55pm Franco Twinkie: Ruth Underwood is amazing. Saw her up close when she was in The Mothers. She was a sight to behold.
	1:57pm Stanley: She was great on the 'Roxy and Elsewhere' recordings
	1:57pm Franco Twinkie: I was there!
	1:57pm Brian in UK: Was in the kitchen, missed the Ruth Underwood miasma.
	1:58pm Bill Mac: I didn't realize she was with Roxy.
	1:58pm Stanley: @Franco - far out. The Roxy or elsewhere?
	1:59pm Stanley: Haha Bill but Eddie Jobson was!
	2:01pm Bill Mac: I had a dense moment... just for that Roxy and elsewhere next set...
	2:02pm Stanley: A certain type of banditry, perhaps, Bill?
	2:04pm Brian in UK: @Stanley, cause he can banditry?
	2:05pm Franco Twinkie: Saw her with the premier of that band at the Hollywood Palladium earlier that year, then later at The Shrine and at Clairmont College with Captain Beefheart.
	2:05pm Stanley: @Brian, that's always the case
	2:06pm spodiodi: FZ ftw
	2:07pm Stanley: And the Horrible Eye
	2:09pm Franco Twinkie: I remember this moment like it was yesterday! We were so close i remember looking at Franks shoes which had little monsters painted on them saying " Eat My Toes"
	2:12pm Stanley: Elements of many FZ styles in that
	2:13pm Bill Mac: Now that was cleansing
	2:15pm Stanley: Well done, Franco, that sounds amazing. I caught him many times in UK, I suppose starting around 1977 or so.
	2:19pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, Stanley. We all have our time when we're running full tilt. Now I'm an old man in his bathrobe, but when I wad young....
	2:20pm Stanley: Bathrobe, eh? I gotta get one of those.
	2:24pm Franco Twinkie: I gotta get a bathtub, my aching bones. you know?
	2:26pm Stanley: Well, a bathrobe is the next best thing, I suppose. I was singing Lene Lovich's Lucky Number today - oo, oo!
	2:26pm Bill Mac: I wouldn't have a bathrobe unless I had a tub....
	2:26pm Brian in UK: So did Frank Z improve, stay the same or regress after the broken leg incident at the Rainbow. (PS Rainbow as a venue was a good).
	2:27pm Stanley: I put The Damned on at my college, back in the day. The audience smashed the place up! We all thought it was good.
	2:28pm Franco Twinkie: Actually, I do have an old claw foot tub. But it's behind the house full of dead leaves.
	2:29pm Dropof Goldensun: Play it Dave Greenfield!
	2:30pm rw: I had a girlfriend in college who was a huge Stranglers fan. I should have married her.
	2:31pm fred: @Franco Twinkie: How does it sound? I think there would be music potential with it, though touring would be tough
	2:33pm Stanley: Well, Brian, I think his leg got better.
	2:33pm Brian in UK: Bill, suppose there is no chance of 'The Court of the Crimson King' track.
	2:33pm Franco Twinkie: Look, everybody loves those original MOI records. I do! But things change. When I saw FZ I was a kid, and not much of a criic. But I must admit, some of the later stuff leaves me cold.
	2:42pm Brian in UK: Stanley, that is a politicians answer.
	2:42pm Franco Twinkie: RW! Digging this rain, or what.
	2:46pm Stanley: Lovely old KC this.
	2:47pm Brian in UK: Thanks Bill, it was cheeky to ask for the long title track this late. The cover for this album struck chords with Supergrass' first album cover.
	2:49pm Brian in UK: The joy of albums was that you could carry them around town and look cool. Never worked for tapes or CDs.
	2:49pm Bill Mac: I like this track but I like the alternate one with Judy Dyble singing it.
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: when i see people in town walking by with albums i always want to (& 1/2 the time do) say "what'd you get?"
	2:51pm Brian in UK: Thanks so much Bill. Christmas it is then for your next visitation. Drive safely.
	2:52pm Bill Mac: Not sure.... It's early yet, I could be back before Thanksgiving.
	2:53pm Brian in UK: Sales of albums has increased but nothing compared to 1,000,00 pre-orders for the new Beatles album in the Sixties.
	2:53pm Sem: Sounded great all afternoon from my Barcalounger, Bill. Thanks for the spins. See you and all next time we convene. I'll bring finger food.
	2:54pm Brian in UK: Hmmm fingers, of the chocolate variety.
	2:54pm fred: Thanks Bill, looking forward to hearing you at an unexpected time
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: there are 2 record stores in my town (both adequate not great) and usually when i see someone with a record it's a college student with a pretty good or excellent album.
	2:55pm Bill Mac: Folks great time today with no fluffs! I should be back soon!
	2:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Bill! You're tops. Now I can get dressed and make a sandwich. Nuthin' else to do.
	2:57pm rw: Hey FT! The rain and s nice. Trying to figure out some indoor projects to work on.
	2:58pm Brian in UK: Love to see an exhibition of Don's work.
	2:58pm rw: Thank you Mr. Mac! Always enjoy the Hour!
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: i need bleach for the mold which is everywhere because it's always raining &/or humid. i feel like i'm inside a Gabriel Garcia-Márquez story.
	2:59pm Stanley: Thanks Bill, always nice to hear you. Off now, to pick up my duck teriyaki
	3:00pm spodiodi: thanks, Bill Mac!
	3:01pm Brian in UK: It's Winifred Attwell.
	3:01pm chresti: Thanks! Nice effects!
	3:01pm Stanley: On the spoons?
	3:01pm Dropof Goldensun: Thanks Bill. Great show!
	3:02pm Bill Mac: That's the ticket!!!!!
	3:03pm Brian in UK: Here 'tis. www.youtube.com...
	3:04pm coelacanth∅: TURN THAT DOWN!
	3:05pm Bill Mac: That's ACE CC
	3:05pm coelacanth∅: What the hell are they even talking about?!
	3:05pm coelacanth∅: ...rest in peace Mr.Bill Mac's Father.
	3:05pm Bill Mac: I don't know but I get it....
	3:06pm coelacanth∅: mine will be joining him soon.
	3:06pm Brian in UK: Is there a better live film than Stop Making Sense. Well Rust Never Sleeps maybe.
	3:07pm Bill Mac: First time I heard this song was the Live movie
	3:07pm Stanley: Take care, Bill.
	3:08pm coelacanth∅: never seen the movie but i loved the shit outa that fear of music album. still do. (that and more songs...)
	3:10pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bill take care everyone
