	12:15pm listener james from westwood: Ah, the original industrial music! I have yet to see that Bathtubs over Broadway doc but I hear it's good.
	12:17pm wendy del formaggio: “Product Music” is one of my favorite comps ever! I got mine a million years ago when the Montague (MA) Book Mill sold CDs on the top floor in...uh...1997?
	12:18pm listener james from westwood: You can hear the point where this interviewee begins mentally backing away from Coyle & Sharpe.

	12:23pm Michael: I’m completely on the other side of the state. Head east on Route 2 and keep going.
	12:24pm wendy del formaggio: @Schmutz: Lucky you! Also a fav place of mine. I like the stuffed arm chair on the first floor that’s next to the window, where you can gaze out at the stream...and take a nap...
	12:25pm Tower: Finally made it in. Took a bit to figure out how today.
	12:28pm schmutz: @Wendy yes!! perfect place to spend the day. They opened another record shop eventually– not sure if it's still there. Out in Austin TX now and so missing Pioneer Valley..
	12:29pm northguineahills: Bathtubs over Broadway, the oddest Weird Al parody of the OutKast's "Bombs over Bagdad"...

	12:39pm chresti: I had a cat named Rudy, he was a rude bwoy.
	12:39pm Charlie: hi Julie:)
	12:40pm northguineahills: @chresti: snert
	12:43pm Sem: Given the choice of doing something or doing nothing--- no logical choice but to be here. Hello, Charlie, unbusy bodies, all.

	1:00pm wendy del formaggio: Two hummingbirds moved to my neighborhood a few weeks ago. Until then, I’d only seen a hummingbird maybe 4 times in my life. So, I’m pretty psyched. They come and drink from the jewelweed and phlox multiple times a day. I love them.

	1:14pm βrian: Oh, we're making pickles today, speaking of Mae West.
	1:14pm Bill W: I've been rewatching some of Mae West's prime films this year. Still haven't steeled myself for MYRA BRECKENRIDGE or SEXTETTE.
	1:15pm Tower: Supposedly that noise at the end of Be My Lover is Neal Smith dropping a drum stick.

	1:34pm Charlie: howdy, ndbob!
	1:35pm wendy del formaggio: Mike, I’ve been meaning to call you with the punch line to the smoke alarm story from last weekend. It started chirping late that night, and after much scrambling around trying to find the source...it was in the basement all along!
	1:35pm chresti: Hola spodi!
	1:35pm Ike: Who would win a fight between a can of bees (Soft Boys) and a can of Aegean okra (Can)? Wrong answers only.
	1:36pm spodiodi: hola, chresti! hola, coel! poking around afk-ish here, but digging the tunes
	1:36pm Bill W: wow that Mitzi Green song was quick and brutal
	1:36pm Tower: I really like their LP Live at the Portland Arms. They seem to be having a lot of fun.
	1:37pm MikeFrom Alaska: Wendy D.F.- the old shell trick!
	1:39pm ndbob: good one here
	1:39pm Tower: I don't know, Ike, but the weapons used would be a chisel and a spoon.... How's that for arcane references?
	1:41pm Dean: Another actor named Green whose vocal recordings are worth one's time, Jane Green: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Green_(singer)
	1:46pm Michael: Thanks for a fun show. Gotta get to the dump before it closes!
	1:47pm Charlie: Have fun at the solid waste transfer station, Michael!
	1:48pm Michael: You’re right - Transfer Station.
	1:49pm MikeFrom Alaska: don't forget to take the disposable love song
	1:49pm People Like Us: this album by ergo is fantastic
