Hey Dave!!! Hope you are doing okay!!!
Avatar 🙉 Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:01pm mrdonutsu:

Hey Scott, I tried to contact both Ken and Michele about software that might help your efforts. Guessing they're too swamped to reply. Should I shoot an email instead?
Avatar 🙉 Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:01pm mrdonutsu:

And howdy Dave!!!!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:02pm Dave the Spazz:

Thanks to Scott Williams for his tireless diligence and wiping down efforts. We'd be lost without the WFMU Skeleton Crew.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:02pm Chop Scott:

Escott! Thanks again for holding down the fort so Spazz can deliver the bananas! Cheers Brother!!
Avatar 🙉 Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:03pm Parq:

Hello, Scott, Spazz and all those who truly believe.
  9:03pm P-90:

Thanks for the wipe job, Scott W
  9:04pm Dave Miss:

Scott Williams is the best! Dave n Lolo hope you’re over the monkey pox

hey Dave, heard your mic check yesterday- pulling for ya here in East Hollywood CA
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:04pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I'm picturing a room full of chimpanzees looking at each other and each one has a look on its face of "Where's Dave?"
  9:04pm John from Florham park:

@Dave is this live or an archive?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:05pm Uncle Michael:

Is Bingo heating up chicken soup for you, Dave?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:06pm Dave the Spazz:

It's a reheated archive from 2010 meticulously selected just for you!
  9:07pm P-90:

Perfect choice for a revisit. I’ve actually recommended this show on the archive a number of times to friends over the years, when Tommy James comes up in conversation.
  9:07pm John from Florham park:

@Gotcha spazz man
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:07pm Chop Scott:

Hope it's a speedy recovery Dave--take care!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:08pm Scott Williams:

Happy to wipe it all down for you here, Dave! Glad you're here on the board. Godspeed to recovery!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:10pm Dave the Spazz:

Thanks for the well wishes, everyone--we'll all get through this mess in one piece. Unwrap each day like a brand new can of Silly String!

Unwrap each day like the old school cans of Spam!

Only virus I have (so far) is the Spazz-20 virus. Hope all's well, Dave, thanks for the show and for hanging out.

Happy to be here. At this point, I'm happy to be anywhere!

Thanks for being here Dave. I've been pushing "Car 54" to wash hands by. Results Mixed.
  9:19pm Pedro in Arlington:

Using the show as a soundtrack to the Ken Burns' doc on the Roosevelts airing in PBS. Teddy grooves like a monkey.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:21pm Dave the Spazz:

@Pedro That's exactly what I had in mind back in 2010

Just joined in! Hi Dave, hi all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:24pm Uncle Michael:

I wanted to hear a show from 2030 where you warn us maniacs not to blow it up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:25pm Dave the Spazz:

Hi Mark!
  9:25pm Lolo in Brooklyn:

Feel better soon, Dave! Thank you for having a show tonight and letting us feel normal again for a moment! Ooo oooo ooo
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:26pm Uncle Michael:

Mark, I was using your show today for sound checking Skype calls.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:27pm Mark Hurst:

I've heard that's the primary use of Techtonic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:28pm Mark Hurst:

Still, glad to hear it :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:28pm Uncle Michael:

I was glad to hear it!
  9:29pm allanToronto:

Chimps are kind of like little men in black.
  9:43pm Dave Miss:

Mark Hurst here to get Spazz’ monkeys off monkeybook. Howdy Mark!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:44pm Mark Hurst:

Hi Dave Miss!
  9:46pm P-90:

OK, for the last time: chimps aren’t on Monkeybook, they’re on Apebook. Dammit.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:48pm Ken From Hyde Park:

He's talking Record Fair ... hit the dump button, Scott!
  9:49pm BH:

EDITOR'S NOTE: Nothing is actually going on this weekend
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:49pm Scott Williams:

@HP Ken, it was nice to pretend for a minute, wasn't it??
  9:50pm Carmichael:

Heya Dave and fellow spazzes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:50pm Dave the Spazz:

Yeah, ignore the out-of-date ramblings of this ancient DJ
  9:51pm allanToronto:

I kinda miss that old peeler bar kind of tassle-twirling drum style
  9:53pm allanToronto:

Looking fwd to this interview rebroadcast
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:53pm Tommy in Neversink:

Sorry you couldn't be in the studio but IT'S ONLY A RADIO SHOW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:54pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I take comfort in the belief it'll be back next year, stronger, more successful than ever. Here's some footage from 2010: youtu.be...
  9:55pm Carmichael:

When anyone says “sock it to me”, don’t.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:56pm Dave the Spazz:

  10:00pm Lolo in Brooklyn:

The monkeys were just babies back then!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:01pm Uncle Michael:

Anyone know whatever happened with the Val Kilmer film adaptation of the book?
  10:05pm Carmichael:

I saw Tommy James a few years ago. He played everything you’d expect him to and more.
Avatar 🙉 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:05pm Mike & Dusty:

total King Uszniewicz vibes
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:08pm Dave the Spazz:

@Mike & Dusty I was thinking South Bay Surfers, but yeah
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:09pm Uncle Michael:

The way the guitar swings on this record makes it.
  10:09pm Carmichael:

His great line, after Crimson and Clover: “We used to do acid, now we do antacid.”
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:09pm Dave the Spazz:

I've seen Tommy James a couple of times. Not only does he put on a terrific show, the hit after hit after hit factor is mind blowing.
  10:10pm Carmichael:

Will he explain the origins of this song?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:10pm Dave the Spazz:

@Carmichael Stay tuned!
  10:19pm P-90:

Ahh, the good old days of the music biz
  10:31pm Carmichael:

What a hit machine. I saw him play Sugar on Sunday!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:32pm mariano:

Man, heavenly set of songs.
  10:34pm Ojai John:

Saw him recently at the Ventura County Fair. It was better than I expected and quite good. The songs are fun.
Avatar ♥ 10:34pm Jeezy:

Not a fan of the mono versions, eh Dave!? :-()
  10:35pm Carmichael:

Oh, I forgot Tighter and Tighter!
Avatar ♥ 10:38pm Jeezy:

Not that I don't love me some extreme stereo rekkids! But it wasn't until I heard Magical Mystery Tour in mono that I was stunned to hear it actually rocks....
  10:39pm P-90:

“Get ovah heah wit dat rekerd”
Avatar 🙉 ♥ 10:39pm Hackensack Slim:

I miss ? and The M's. Also, this is a Great Interview.
Avatar ♥ 10:39pm Jeezy:

you gimme dat rekkid Baaack
  10:45pm P-90:

Mony Mony did have a definite “retro” vibe when it hit in 1968, when most pop was headed in every other direction at once.
  11:09pm vertual:

One of my earliest musical memories...hearing all this on dad's new high tech 8 track player in STEREO in around 69-70 when i was 5-6 years old.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:09pm Glorious Estephonic:

i just got into crystal blue persuasion this past week while watching zodiac -- and so happy to be tuning in now -- feel so connected to the collective unconscious - so grateful for this feeling woahness
  11:11pm kym:

Dave, I'm sorry you're under the weather but... hot diggity, am I glad I caught this archive! Incredible interview with Tommy James. Funny how you can love a person's catalogue but forget just how many of their songs give you goosebumps until you hear them all back to back again.
  11:12pm kym:

By the way, anyone else get a Sparks vibe off of 'Mirage'?
  11:20pm P-90:

Spazztastic interview!
Avatar ♥ 11:22pm Jeezy:

Yup, @kym.... Sparks must love Tommy!
  11:27pm Elle Tor's Husband:

Is this a Full Credit show Dave? 'cause I swear to god this is like a Music History course right here. I always learn form the University Of FMU. Big thanks to you Monkey Man!
  11:27pm Elle Tor's Husband:

Also "from"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:28pm Chop Scott:

KILLER show Dave--fantastic!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31pm Dave the Spazz:

Funny thing is that the movie is back on track as of a few weeks ago with Barbara DeFina producing, screenplay by Matthew Stone and Kathleen Marshall directing. Some things are worth the wait!
Avatar ♥ 11:41pm Motobro:

Dave, get well soon and thank you
  11:44pm P-90:

I hadn’t heard the movie is back on track. I assume it’ll be better than the Jersey Boys movie...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53pm Dave the Spazz:

Thanks everybody for tunin' in. Hopefully if I can slap together a home studio within the next few days I'll be back next week with a new episode.
  11:54pm vertual:

Thanks - I needed a feel-good show tonight. This was a great escape
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:55pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, DTS. Hope you feel better soon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:55pm lorenzoelsuave:
