	♥ 10:03pm Little Danny: Heya heya
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Kris Holmes: Hi team!!
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm Uncle Michael: Keyboard horns are kinda funny.
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Kris Holmes: i think these are live?
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm Uncle Michael: well...maybe...
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Kris Holmes: but i do agree with the statement. we used to listen to mexican radio in Southern California & it was keyboard horns & drum machine central.
	♥ 10:15pm chresti: Where in SoCa?
	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm Kris Holmes: LA then Palm Springs
	♥ 10:20pm Little Danny: Speaking of jazz(iness), was that Counts the same group that began as the Fabulous Counts? Who had some cool soul jazz 45s early on?
	♥ 10:22pm Little Danny: Nevermind. Same Counts alright. Thanks internet
	🥁 ♥ 10:26pm Kris Holmes: Yeah, Moira to Cotillion to Westbound to Aware label hopping, from Detroit I think.
	♥ 10:35pm coelacanth∅: greetings Kris and all
	10:37pm Dean: Is that the Bobbie King who sang on Ry Cooder's "I Can't Win"?
	♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: "i saw mommy kissing santa clause"?
	10:38pm Dean: ^Er, Bobby...?
	♥ 10:39pm Little Danny: Kris! Did I sell you a copy of McKinley Mitchell's "I'm Ready"? Sold it off at some point recently, now filled with regrets
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm Kris Holmes: i don' think so
	10:42pm Dean: Wow, there are that many Bobby Kings?! [joke]
	🥁 ♥ 10:45pm Kris Holmes: i don't think it's the same guy
	♥ 10:48pm Little Danny: Love this Tren-Dells. Americanos trying to sound British but somehow sounding even more Americano in the process
	🥁 ♥ 10:50pm Kris Holmes: Yeah heavy Beatles influence on it but that guitar break!!
	♥ 10:53pm chresti: ...and the British invasion borrowed from American RnB
	🥁 ♥ 10:54pm Uncle Michael: My British Invasion band will be called The Apostrophe's.
	♥ 10:54pm Little Danny: too true Chresti
	10:57pm Dean: Mine will be either The Inflections or Those Who Add a U after an O in Words Like Color.
	♥ 10:58pm Little Danny: Oof, that hurts my eyes UM. "Your crazy lol!!!"
	♥ 10:58pm chresti: The Troo Coolours
	10:59pm Dean: Trew.
	♥ 11:00pm chresti: the Right-y-Os
	11:01pm Dean: The Cheer-y-Os
	🥁 ♥ 11:02pm Uncle Michael: Time to be supine. Thanks Kris...night all.
	🥁 ♥ 11:02pm Kris Holmes: Night Michael
	♥ 11:02pm chresti: Haha Dean! Good Night UM.
	♥ 11:03pm Little Danny: @Dean: do I recall you work/worked as an editor?
	♥ 11:04pm Little Danny: More jazz 45s please mate
	11:04pm Dean: Not quite. I'm a librarian who worked long ago as a contributor/typesetter/maniac for Flipside, one of the fanzines in the late '70s that captured the L.A. punk scene.
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm Kris Holmes: Heading into a whole rest of the show of jazz 45s Dan
	♥ 11:06pm Little Danny: OMG Flipside. Dang.
	♥ 11:06pm Little Danny: Excellent!
	11:10pm Dean: Yeah. Those were the days.
	11:11pm Dean: My gig was exclusively late '70s, not when they made real inroads during the '80s. I'm there in the first handful of issues.
	11:14pm Dean: This from Somethin' Else? To my mind, better by far than Kind of Blue.
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm Kris Holmes: yep, Somethin' Else. I Love both albums, can't choose.
	11:16pm Dean: I once heard an original pressing of this album at a San Diego stereo store, late '80s, on a really good system. Still can't shake it.
	♥ 11:17pm Little Danny: There you go with your crazy opinions again Dean
	11:18pm Dean: Yeah, well, here's another: Everything (give or take) is wrong!
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm Kris Holmes: i bet it sounded like you were right there in the studio, hear Cannonball's stomach grumbling & all
	♥ 11:20pm Little Danny: Both albums are classics. But Kind of Blue really broke things open in a way that Somethin' Else didn't
	♥ 11:21pm Little Danny: On the other hand Kind of Blue didn't feature Miles growling "Is that what you wanted, Albert?"
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Kris Holmes: hahahaha
	♥ 11:23pm Little Danny: I bought a pristine original copy of Somethin' Else on Etsy for $20. Cool story bro
	♥ 11:24pm Little Danny: God I love Mose's mod 45s
	11:24pm Dean: Detail is only one factor. It's the spread, the soundstage, depth, air, definition... My experience of great recordings doesn't turn on verisimilitude, which is not a measurable factor. I don't really know what an actual live performance sounds "like." So, yeah, sometimes telling details make a record more interesting. But mostly my experience attends to the gestalt. I have three or four copies of Somethin' Else: LP, CD, Mobile Fidelity CD, Japanese LP.
	♥ 11:27pm Little Danny: Well now I think I agree with you again
	🥁 ♥ 11:27pm Kris Holmes: I don't actually own it on LP, only CD!!!
	11:28pm Dean: First pressing, man. The pinnacle.
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm Kris Holmes: My Jazz CD collection is probably better than my Jazz LP collection, which is kinda saying something.
	11:30pm Dean: My jazz 7" collection is...give me a second...the null set.
	♥ 11:33pm Little Danny: Three long boxes of jazz 45s over here, easily the fetishist peak of my entire collection
	♥ 11:39pm chresti: Gosh, I'm a lightweight as far as 7" collecting goes.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm Kris Holmes: be thankful for that, being perpetually broke sucks :(
	♥ 11:41pm Little Danny: From my perspective you're one of the fortunate ones, chresti
	♥ 11:41pm Little Danny: Or what Kris said
	♥ 11:41pm chresti: I'm already perpetually broke
	🥁 ♥ 11:42pm Kris Holmes: yeah but probably from useful things, not Jazz 45s lol
	11:43pm Dean: Wenzel's closed before I risked addiction to 7", though I have a few. And now I have kids, which means I have to measure my vinyl needs against their hunger. On occasion, I defer to them.
	♥ 11:45pm chresti: Franco makes up for my lack of a 7" collection. There's piles and boxes of 'em everywhere.
	♥ 11:51pm Little Danny: Yes! Love this version of "Coral Keys"
	♥ 11:52pm Little Danny: Wait, what is Franco, chresti?
	♥ 11:53pm chresti: Oh, Franco Twinkie
	11:53pm Dean: More like, "Who is Franco?," LD.
	♥ 11:54pm chresti: The guy I live with
	♥ 11:54pm Little Danny: Oh, that's right!
	11:55pm Dean: I assume Franco is the spouse, partner, amanuensis, physical therapist, office manager, or what have you of chresti.
	♥ 11:56pm Little Danny: You had me at amanuensis
	♥ 11:56pm chresti: He's at home reading right now. Right. Partner of Chresti
	♥ 11:57pm Little Danny: This is some terrific Svensk bop. Also, looking forward to your pronunciation
	♥ 11:58pm chresti: Haha
	♥ 12:00am Little Danny: Hey that sounded sorta right. But kind of disappointed here. I would have absolutely mangled it.
	♥ 12:02am Little Danny: Quite a bomb you dropped right there at the end, Kris Great show, and more jazz 45s please!
	♥ 12:03am chresti: Thanks! Happy Birthday-40? That's nutt'n!
	🥁 ♥ 12:03am Kris Holmes: Thanks guys!
	♥ 12:03am chresti: Just keep using the pomade!
	12:04am Dean: Wait. Did he say he turns 40 today? Happy birthday. If not, happy some other day.
