	11:06am clarke: office, Frank??
	11:06am Matt Warwick: Goooooood morning Michael!
	♥ 11:07am Frank In Queens: Hi Michael, Baby, Handy, and clarkie! I'm home today. Starting next week, 3 (maybe 4) Saturdays in a row at the office.
	11:07am mauri: are you the greatest too?
	11:08am clarke: gotcha! what's on TAP?
	♥ 11:08am YETI BOB: Hi everyone. Leftover topic from last playlist (slight apologies): Fermilab director Leon Lederman called the Higgs Boson the "Goddamn particle" - he wrote a book and the publishers forced him to change it to "God Particle". I've heard that he always hated that name. (And it's not a constituent of other particles - matter is fermions. the Higgs is a boson, a force carrier, like photons)
	♥ 11:08am northguineahills: hank garland!
	♥ 11:09am Frank In Queens: Tap? A tap is bad idea in this house!
	♥ 11:09am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Shelleys & Ruth & all!
	11:10am gf2002: Hank was in a league of his own. Now those are some hot licks.
	♥ 11:10am YETI BOB: ("Goddamn" because it was so elusive and hard to find).
	♥ 11:10am Jimmy Wipper: The Treniers did a great song about Hadacol.
	11:11am clarke: OR a VERY good idea!
	11:11am clarke: wippaaaaaah!
	♥ 11:11am Michael Shelley: Hey Matty = here to take out the trash?
	♥ 11:12am Frank In Queens: Haha, sometimes it's only a thin line separating the two.
	♥ 11:12am Jimmy Wipper: Claaaaaaaaaaaarke!
	♥ 11:12am northguineahills: what Yeti Bob said.... (even as a quatum carrier, the boson is still not fully understood...) CERN still doing good work....
	11:12am Paul: Hadacol was a pretty good KC alt-country band from the late 90s
	♥ 11:13am Michael Shelley: Frank - does the man let you stream from the office?
	♥ 11:13am Handy Haversack: Yeti Bob on a Saturday! Nice!
	♥ 11:14am Frank In Queens: @Michael, the FMU site is blocked at work. However, the FMU app on my phone works just fine. And these days, "the man" is pretty scarce at the office.
	11:15am clarke: The Man is not the man any more
	♥ 11:15am northguineahills: @frank: I use my wfmu app in the car...., make driving pleasing during commuting....
	11:15am paul: Another Paul??
	♥ 11:15am northguineahills: (in FL)
	11:16am gf2002: If this is where the action is, where's Paul Revere and The Raiders?
	11:16am clarke: paul is dead. (convincing evidence on White Album).
	11:16am paul: No bad version of this song.
	♥ 11:16am northguineahills: Georgia, Ira y James!
	♥ 11:17am Frank In Queens: @northguineahills, the app is a wonderful thing!
	♥ 11:17am Biily Shears: Paul is dead. And I oughtta know.
	11:18am paul: Biily?
	♥ 11:18am Frank In Queens: This Italian celebrates Indigenous Peoples Day.
	11:19am clarke: it's'a gonna be sweeter than'a honey
	11:20am Paul Mc: Sorry Paul Changing name to protect the innocent
	11:20am clarke: atsa' boy, franco!!
	♥ 11:20am Listener Baby: Has there ever been a carbon copy song that ever became a hit? Like ever?
	11:21am paul: Ha.
	♥ 11:21am Frank In Queens: Oh, I don't know....
	♥ 11:22am spodiodi: good morning, Michael Shelley and #1 people
	♥ 11:22am Hughie Considine: Wall of Voodoo's "Ring of Fire" is pretty stellar.
	♥ 11:23am Matt Clarke: Good morning Michael and all
	11:23am gf2002: Bill Cosby, Little Ole Man, top 5 single in 1967. Carbon copy of Stevie's "Uptight"
	♥ 11:24am Listener Baby: Agree @Hughie. Great and underrated live band too. Saw them when ever I could. Strong!
	♥ 11:24am Shira: In a way, this is very Nashville... more schmaltzy strings!
	♥ 11:24am Frank In Queens: It's tastefully done, but still, pass.
	11:24am MFlynn: For what it’s worth, I love it!!!
	♥ 11:25am Frank In Queens: That's the move Michael. I've yet to have the difficult discussion with my mom, but I think the numbers will leave no alternative by late November anyway.
	♥ 11:26am Listener Baby: Stay. Put. Everybody!
	11:26am Vt Knit Girl: No thanksgiving for us this year. It’s very sad for me. We usually have 15-20 friends and family.
	♥ 11:27am Hughie Considine: Hurricane Harry's "The Last Meal" feels spiritually related to this one. Lucky you, @Listener Baby. Very underrated band indeed.
	11:27am clarke: too far in the future - we are still doin' tha rocktobah
	♥ 11:27am Handy Haversack: We never see family for Tgiving but always host friends (I refuse to deal with a meat fest, Frank). Unless it's going to be so warm that outside is doable, I guess we skip it this year.
	♥ 11:27am Squints: I pity the fool that reaches across my plate.
	11:29am Erin in TO: What Michael described is how I've gotten hooked on WFMU. I started out listening to 2 shows and it keeps creeping up from there as I hear more!
	♥ 11:29am Frank In Queens: @Handy, my mother always has plenty of vegan sides on the table for the holidays. We always did plenty of veggies in my house growing up. Christina and I take care of our entree and desert, and my mom does everything else.
	♥ 11:30am Hughie Considine: I just heard my name and it made me feel good. Rock on, Michael!
	11:31am clarke: geaux mikey geaux!!
	♥ 11:31am Handy Haversack: We're far from family. In years past we had a lot of single friends, too, and it seemed like a nice thing to host an orphans' Tgiving. I have really perfected my supercharged Brussels sprouts. But this year ... yeah. Maybe a good day to march or volunteer someplace.
	11:32am clarke: supercharged sprouts? do tell..
	♥ 11:32am Matt Clarke: I am working on Thanksgiving so no bother
	11:32am Euro fan: It's been 15 years since I last heard WFMU. I just remembered it and found the site here - looks and sounds good!
	♥ 11:33am Frank In Queens: We'd do two Thanksgivings; one at my parents' the Saturday before (my brother goes to his in-laws on the day), and then the day at either our place or at a friend's. None of that happening this year.
	♥ 11:33am Frank In Queens: And yeah, let's hear about them sprouts!
	♥ 11:33am YETI BOB: Hi Handy. I listen to WFMU all weekend but I try to stay off the computer, to give my wrists and brain a rest. But I just bought a new laptop and couldn't resist playing with it. And then people mentioned quantum physics and I couldn't resist that either.
	♥ 11:34am Dennis Diken: hey, I know this song!
	♥ 11:34am Frank In Queens: Jeez, now with all the great shows on the Rock and Soul stream, I barely have time for my own music collection anymore!
	♥ 11:34am Therese: Hello Michael! Hello everyone!
	11:34am Daniel: What you describe in terms of WFMU listening is exactly how I got hooked on your show. I started out about 15 years ago listening to just the Best Show. But my WFMU listening slowly kept expanding and now I can't imagine Saturday mornings without plenty of coffee and your show!
	11:35am mauri: where the grass is green
	♥ 11:36am Handy Haversack: clarke, I basically make a sauce of garlic teriyaki, soy sauce, Sriracha, (good) honey, rice vinegar, Thai chili paste, LOTS of crushed red pepper (we have iron palates; I use almost a tbsp. cut by two-thirds for regular spice appreciators), and corn starch. Slice the sprouts in half and either sautee in peanut oil charged with a little chili oil or bake with a little chili oil for a while, then pour in the sauce and cook a while longer. Hi, Therese! Very proud to share the tastefulest of both Koozies and coasters with you!
	♥ 11:37am Therese: Aw, shucks! Thanks, Handy!
	11:37am clarke: we have a man in Queens.
	♥ 11:38am Frank In Queens: My dad grew up walking distance from the Word's Fair. His band played in the Pavilion that year!
	♥ 11:38am Hubig Pie: Do they still have the underground bomb shelter home ?
	11:38am clarke: thanks for recipe - am down with spicy but not so much the sweet with savory
	♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: My dad worked at the '39 World's Fair in New York!
	♥ 11:39am Matt Clarke: That sprouts recipe sounds great, Handy
	11:39am Moammar: THEM BONGOS!
	♥ 11:39am Dennis Diken: didn't see the ska event but man, the '64/'65 World's Fair was really cool!
	♥ 11:40am Frank In Queens: Handy, sounds really good! But I'm with Clarke, so I'd probably cut out the "honey" and just let the subtle sweetness come from the sriracha.
	11:40am Frank Zaatar: NOW you tell me Millie Smalls was at the World's Fair.
	11:41am tim from Champaign (now washington): What’s the Scoobie Doo cartoon running bingo sound that randomly shows up?
	11:42am Muddybrookrambler: Yes. I don’t recall the Ska Spectacular, but my mom claimed the first word I could read (I was 2) was the giant Schaeffer sign at the Schaeffer pavilion. Also recall “driving” a car at the Ford exhibit—and being asked for my license by a “cop”
	11:42am tim from Champaign (now washington): Bingo = bongo
	11:42am clarke: you think it might be..... MovieTime???
	♥ 11:42am Joe R.: There's some fun NY World's Fair footage on Amazon Prime www.amazon.com...
	11:45am clarke: LISTED as co-writer more like
	♥ 11:45am Frank In Queens: I'll let Michael dictate when it's MovieTime, but it was a great week here In Queens.
	11:46am clarke: cool!
	♥ 11:46am Greg from ZONE 5: This is fantastic—never heard any of his stuff that wasn't straight up calypso.
	♥ 11:47am Dominick: Mind blown
	♥ 11:47am Jimmy Wipper: Mighty Sparrow RULES! I was actually listening to the two cd set Sparrowmania this week.
	11:47am clarke: also, no need to add bongos
	♥ 11:48am Squints: Bongos are like cowbell. Never enough.
	11:48am paul: One bongo clip per show.
	11:50am clarke: no "movies" this week, but i DID get to (finally) see the pilot of the bbc show Endeavour - which is outstanding! incredible location shooting, good detective thang.
	11:50am paul: No A in Murry.
	11:50am KWilde: Hey Mr Wipper! Hey Michael!
	11:50am johnzo: thanksgiving's the one where you have to eat dinner with your family right... drama! anxiety! now with NEW! risk of contracting a deadly illness! sounds fun...
	♥ 11:51am Frank In Queens: Where can one find "Endeavour"?
	11:51am Hannah: We're tuning in from London, England - thanks for a great show Michael, we agree about great British baking show.
	♥ 11:51am Jimmy Wipper: Hey Mr. Wilde!
	11:51am P-90: Good ol’ Reggie Dingleberry
	♥ 11:51am Listener Baby: Love the Reg-ster!
	♥ 11:52am Frank In Queens: Good to know that Reggie Dingleberry is still hanging on.
	11:52am clarke: http://123movie.fm/watch/nGE1MzGb-endeavour.html
	♥ 11:52am Frank In Queens: Thanks Clarke!
	11:52am paul: Thanks. :)
	♥ 11:52am Listener Baby: Ha!! He's clingy that way, Frank.
	♥ 11:53am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Late to the listening party, but thankfully not too late.
	11:53am gdW: Murry Wilson is tied with Fred Trump for Father Of The Year dishonors.
	♥ 11:53am Hubig Pie: I always gets him mixed up with Ronnie Skidmark
	♥ 11:53am Frank In Queens: This week was a jam packed movie week; Vertigo, Psycho, The Birds, Dressed To Kill, and Blood Simple.
	♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: We watched two more-or-less horror movies last night. The new /Invisible Man/, which was well done but does have some triggering stuff for anyone who's been in an abusive relationship. And then a thin but clever, hour-long movie called /Host/, a horror movie that is set in a Zoom seance. Topical! Also watched the I think HBO /Raised by Wolves/. It has its moments, but lots of logic problems, too. And I started in on season 2 of /The Boys/, though Kate's not interested.
	♥ 11:54am Frank In Queens: Reggie Dingleberry and Ronnie Skidmark collaborate A LOT!
	♥ 11:55am Listener Baby: Least we forget Kerry Klingon
	11:55am clarke: HITCHFEST!!!
	11:55am paul: Almost watched The Birds, but went with Pacific Heights instead (featuring Tippi H. and daughter Melanie Griffith)
	♥ 11:56am Frank In Queens: Ah, Pacific Heights. It's been years since I've seen that. Gotta add it to the list.
	11:57am clarke: while i have not Hitched in a while - always great to re-visit. and illuminating.
	♥ 11:57am Hughie Considine: A fine entry in the "creepy neighbor" genre.
	11:57am P-90: OMG it’s like a left coast ersatz Stones thing
	11:58am clarke: okay frank: pick a fave out of this week's viewing
	11:59am clarke: oh yes, keep in mind that Endeavour is a pre-quel to another brit series: Inspector Morse
	♥ 12:00pm Frank In Queens: Hmmmm, well they were all re-watches except for Dressed To Kill. Tough to pick just one fave. I'll have to go with Psycho and Blood Simple.
	12:00pm paul: @Frank, it still holds up. Keaton is great.
	12:00pm Sean: Frank in Queens, wondering where you saw Blood Simple.
	♥ 12:00pm Frank In Queens: @Sean, I have the Criterion Blu-Ray.
	♥ 12:01pm Frank In Queens: @paul, good to know. I've enjoyed most of what Keaton has done.
	12:01pm clarke: my fave out of that group is EAAAASILY: Vertigo gosh dang - hitch's best in my book.
	12:02pm phat: Hot damn this TEF cooks.
	♥ 12:02pm Frank In Queens: I love the look and style of Vertigo, but the story falls a bit short for me.
	♥ 12:02pm Dominick: Blackwing pencils are my fave.
	12:02pm gf2002: Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West! Lots of hot guitar this morning on WFMU
	12:02pm clarke: although i love Rear Window just as much. Tie goes to the runner (which is never true any more)
	12:03pm paul: Nick Lowe said TEF was a huge influence on his songwriting.
	♥ 12:03pm Frank In Queens: Yes, out of the 4 Hitch movies we've watched recently, Rear Window is hands-down my fave.
	12:03pm Sean: @Frank, no wonder I couldn't find it for free this week ... It was at YOUR house. also I only just realized you were talking about Michael and not Buster. Check out "Sherlock Jr." for a cinematic masterpiece.
	♥ 12:04pm Handy Haversack: Pentel Penctec 0.5 mm mechanical pencils for me. All the way.
	12:04pm clarke: cornell woolrich novel
	♥ 12:04pm Frank In Queens: @Sean, I've never seen anything with Buster Keaton. I admittedly have a bit of trouble with silent films.
	♥ 12:05pm Frank In Queens: Willing to keep at it though.
	12:05pm clarke: The General is a good start point slash gateway drug
	12:05pm paul: Buster was actually an incredible athlete.
	♥ 12:06pm Listener Baby: Baby. What is this? When What?
	♥ 12:06pm Hughie Considine: So many of his stunts could have ended in disaster.
	12:07pm johnk77: nice work selecter @michael mighty sparrow a great entertainer always delivered the goods live backed by charlies roots
	12:07pm phat: NRBQ are the kings of the clever modulation.
	♥ 12:07pm Listener Baby: This is #1
	12:07pm clarke: that railroad tie scene alone...
	♥ 12:07pm Montmaster J: Nice Q! is that Big Al?
	12:08pm clarke: unMISTAKEably big al
	12:09pm clarke: from HitchFest to AlFest -- there is a thread (or was)
	12:09pm dano59: Holy cow an Abner Jay chestnut!
	12:10pm clarke: Al ain't so big any more
	12:12pm Ross T.: Big Al hit by lightning -- metaphor of the day.
	♥ 12:13pm Listener Baby: James Bond half steps.
	♥ 12:13pm Handy Haversack: Double-barreled love!
	12:14pm Moammar: THEM BONGOS!
	12:14pm Sean: @Frank, gotta have few distractions and then give it a shot. Sherlock Jr. is definitely my fave because it uses the medium of Cinema itself on a way that is decades before it's time. "The General" also a classic as are "Three Ages" and the shorter ones like "One Week" and "The Electric House" which is making fun of "smart houses" a century ago. https://youtu.be/5Q0FMxZBmO4
	♥ 12:14pm Squints: Moarrrrrr bongos.
	12:14pm phat: I kind of am freaking out. Love the show.
	12:14pm KWilde: I knew those Flintstone feet were coming!
	12:14pm Moammar: This cut puts me in mind of the Geezinslaws.
	♥ 12:15pm Frank In Queens: Thanks Sean. I'll make a note of those titles.
	♥ 12:15pm Squints: God's honest truth, the first time I ever saw the pogo was on the Mr Goober morning kids show in New Haven in the late 60s/early 70s, where he'd lead the kids in the studio pogoing to Roger Miller's "Chug-A-Lug."
	♥ 12:16pm Listener Baby: Jupe! Get on the mic.
	♥ 12:17pm Frank In Queens: It's not "way" out there!
	12:18pm clarke: our man in queens comes thru
	12:18pm clarke: and woman!
	♥ 12:19pm Hughie Considine: Deeply Cooke-y
	12:19pm Aric: The city of Houston Texas and Houston Street in nyc are named after 2 separate individuals who pronounced their names differently.
	♥ 12:19pm jmd: hearing that Ramones earlier kinda makes me wanna go on a Ramones jag today. Thanks Michael.
	12:19pm P-90: Adjective of the Week: Sam Cooke-y
	12:19pm clarke: cooke-y monster
	♥ 12:20pm Hughie Considine: A British podcaster I dig nevertheless pronounced the Texas city "Hoo-ston."
	12:20pm Aric: Another fun fact, Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt also pronounced their last names differently.
	12:22pm phat: I'm through with love too, Dinah.
	12:22pm Sean: @Aric another good reason for them to not get together on Thanksgiving. I can just hear the bickerinh now!
	♥ 12:22pm Squints: Isn't "Hooston" how General Zod pronounced it in 1978?
	12:22pm P-90: Actually that was “Über-Sam-Cooke-y”
	12:25pm Sean: Hey, I got an uncle lives in Texas.
	♥ 12:26pm Hughie Considine: @Squints, that sounds right. Possibly that influenced this very learned man's pronunciation.
	12:28pm Dennis https://youtu.be/Sn8V0SjSQhMSparky....thi: Donations made.....Because all other Radio sucks!! Nosey retail stores? When stores ask my zip code, I instantly tell them; 60609. All the zip codes where I live start with 0, but when we were kids, and watched the Price is Right during the summer, “Johnny” was always talking about prizes from the “Spiegel Catalog; Chicago, Illinois, 60609.” Extra points if you use the “Johnny voice” when you give the zip code.
	12:28pm dmart New Mexico: When my husband and I were dating 20 years ago, I had a jazz classics cd that had Dinah Washington singing “Pennies from Heaven.” Listening to to the show together this morning in New Mexico. Thanks Michael!
	12:28pm clarke: then - GAIN STRUCTURE!!
	12:28pm Ross T.: "Get the Unit Functioning" -- great James Brown track.
	♥ 12:29pm Handy Haversack: I was shaving, and that Dahlamanns song was dangerously danceable! Could become a hit with the rekkid-buying public.
	♥ 12:29pm Jimmy Wipper: The Unit-ed States is not functioning. We have to get the unit functioning.
	12:30pm Moammar: THEM BONGOS!
	12:31pm Mister Dobalina: Let my junk become your junk!
	12:31pm Ross T.: Juniper just told my story.
	♥ 12:31pm Frank In Queens: Chemistry was a PITA for me too.
	12:33pm clarke: LOVE jupe's playing!!!
	12:33pm phat: I had real difficulty with chemistry, too. But I was a horrible student in general.
	12:34pm clarke: wouldn't give it ONE lesson (but i guess that's already happened)
	♥ 12:36pm Handy Haversack: I liked chem. I just didn't want to take chem 2.
	♥ 12:36pm Frank In Queens: I love science. But the problem is, I don't like math.
	♥ 12:39pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael and Juniper! Leo and I are listening outside Benny Tudino's in Hoboken!
	♥ 12:39pm Montmaster J: Ruh Roh!!!!
	♥ 12:40pm Michael Shelley: LOL
	♥ 12:40pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Happy Saturday! Michael, it's not because Jack showed up, but I have to take off -- the dog and I need to walk each other. Thanks for a great set of tunes once again! We're number one! Be well, all! Catch up with some of you at Rex's place.
	12:40pm clarke: if your voice is kasem-esque you have it made!
	♥ 12:42pm Frank In Queens: Hi Jack! Bye Handy!
	12:43pm clarke: a Laugh-In Tie-In
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: L8r, Frank!
	♥ 12:43pm jmd: What's the relationship between the Sweet Bippies and Laugh-In? Is there one?
	12:43pm P-90: “Class Body” and “Sweet Bippy” both not things these days
	♥ 12:43pm Hughie Considine: You bet your sweet bippy was a catchphrase on Laugh-In.
	♥ 12:44pm RobinSays: Hi Michael! You were talking about the World's Fair earlier; my Aunt Sharon was a waitress there at a restaurant called the Underground Home. Great show today. I love your conversations with your daughter. They remind me of how my late Dad and I would often talk...
	♥ 12:44pm jmd: Now that jingle is in my head. BumbleBee Tuna
	♥ 12:44pm Listener Baby: Is it a Sh*t Sandwich I'm craving?
	♥ 12:44pm Hughie Considine: Dick Martin was perhaps the phrase's most vocal exponent.
	♥ 12:44pm Montmaster J: BTW whose house are you olive loafing this Mischief Night?
	♥ 12:45pm jmd: @Hughie: right.
	12:45pm egould310: This is “literally” bubblegum. Thanks for playing that sweet sound, Michael.
	12:46pm dmart New Mexico: Juniper got us on a discussion as a Math and English college instructors about required curriculum. Sorry folks!
	12:47pm Frank Zaatar: this song was quoted by Bob Dylan in his Nobel Prize lecture.
	♥ 12:48pm Hughie Considine: Nothing Israel ... and nothing to get hung about
	12:50pm clarke: fine stuff here - hope the vines out west are as fruitful!! nex'week'ya'll
	♥ 12:50pm Frank In Queens: Bye clarke!
	♥ 12:51pm Hubig Pie: Roosters do the barnyard pimp strut
	12:52pm Moammar: Bagel Chateau in Maplewood deploys the potato chips.
	12:52pm Mister Dobalina: Carbo loading so you can go compete in the triathlon, the Shelley's signed up for.
	12:52pm clarke: may see you on todd's chat, l8r. gotta hully gully!
	12:56pm MFlynn: Michael, this Logan Ledger song is great!
	12:58pm Ross T.: Joe...Joe....
	♥ 12:58pm Frank In Queens: Oh, is it time for Three Chord Monte?
	♥ 12:59pm efd: haaaaa, I was just typing that this sounds like the same scene that the "Joe" soundclips came from!
	12:59pm clarke: "Joe" one of the most disturbing films EVER
	12:59pm ?: amazing Peter Boyle performance
	♥ 12:59pm efd: wait, is that from the movie Joe?? I never made the connection, duh!
	♥ 12:59pm radioronan: Thanks Michael..
	12:59pm Sean: I learned about "Joe" from MAD magazine.
	♥ 1:00pm Ciggy: inspiring ending
	1:46pm P-90: That line about cleaning the bifocals...

	11:08am clarke: gotcha! what's on TAP?
	♥ 11:08am YETI BOB: Hi everyone. Leftover topic from last playlist (slight apologies): Fermilab director Leon Lederman called the Higgs Boson the "Goddamn particle" - he wrote a book and the publishers forced him to change it to "God Particle". I've heard that he always hated that name. (And it's not a constituent of other particles - matter is fermions. the Higgs is a boson, a force carrier, like photons)
	♥ 11:08am northguineahills: hank garland!
	♥ 11:09am Frank In Queens: Tap? A tap is bad idea in this house!
	♥ 11:09am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Shelleys & Ruth & all!

	♥ 11:12am Jimmy Wipper: Claaaaaaaaaaaarke!
	♥ 11:12am northguineahills: what Yeti Bob said.... (even as a quatum carrier, the boson is still not fully understood...) CERN still doing good work....
	11:12am Paul: Hadacol was a pretty good KC alt-country band from the late 90s
	♥ 11:13am Michael Shelley: Frank - does the man let you stream from the office?
	♥ 11:13am Handy Haversack: Yeti Bob on a Saturday! Nice!
	♥ 11:14am Frank In Queens: @Michael, the FMU site is blocked at work. However, the FMU app on my phone works just fine. And these days, "the man" is pretty scarce at the office.
	11:15am clarke: The Man is not the man any more
	♥ 11:15am northguineahills: @frank: I use my wfmu app in the car...., make driving pleasing during commuting....
	11:15am paul: Another Paul??
	♥ 11:15am northguineahills: (in FL)
	11:16am gf2002: If this is where the action is, where's Paul Revere and The Raiders?
	11:16am clarke: paul is dead. (convincing evidence on White Album).
	11:16am paul: No bad version of this song.
	♥ 11:16am northguineahills: Georgia, Ira y James!

	11:20am clarke: atsa' boy, franco!!
	♥ 11:20am Listener Baby: Has there ever been a carbon copy song that ever became a hit? Like ever?
	11:21am paul: Ha.
	♥ 11:21am Frank In Queens: Oh, I don't know....
	♥ 11:22am spodiodi: good morning, Michael Shelley and #1 people
	♥ 11:22am Hughie Considine: Wall of Voodoo's "Ring of Fire" is pretty stellar.
	♥ 11:23am Matt Clarke: Good morning Michael and all
	11:23am gf2002: Bill Cosby, Little Ole Man, top 5 single in 1967. Carbon copy of Stevie's "Uptight"
	♥ 11:24am Listener Baby: Agree @Hughie. Great and underrated live band too. Saw them when ever I could. Strong!
	♥ 11:24am Shira: In a way, this is very Nashville... more schmaltzy strings!
	♥ 11:24am Frank In Queens: It's tastefully done, but still, pass.
	11:24am MFlynn: For what it’s worth, I love it!!!
	♥ 11:25am Frank In Queens: That's the move Michael. I've yet to have the difficult discussion with my mom, but I think the numbers will leave no alternative by late November anyway.
	♥ 11:26am Listener Baby: Stay. Put. Everybody!
	11:26am Vt Knit Girl: No thanksgiving for us this year. It’s very sad for me. We usually have 15-20 friends and family.
	♥ 11:27am Hughie Considine: Hurricane Harry's "The Last Meal" feels spiritually related to this one. Lucky you, @Listener Baby. Very underrated band indeed.
	11:27am clarke: too far in the future - we are still doin' tha rocktobah
	♥ 11:27am Handy Haversack: We never see family for Tgiving but always host friends (I refuse to deal with a meat fest, Frank). Unless it's going to be so warm that outside is doable, I guess we skip it this year.
	♥ 11:27am Squints: I pity the fool that reaches across my plate.
	11:29am Erin in TO: What Michael described is how I've gotten hooked on WFMU. I started out listening to 2 shows and it keeps creeping up from there as I hear more!
	♥ 11:29am Frank In Queens: @Handy, my mother always has plenty of vegan sides on the table for the holidays. We always did plenty of veggies in my house growing up. Christina and I take care of our entree and desert, and my mom does everything else.
	♥ 11:30am Hughie Considine: I just heard my name and it made me feel good. Rock on, Michael!
	11:31am clarke: geaux mikey geaux!!
	♥ 11:31am Handy Haversack: We're far from family. In years past we had a lot of single friends, too, and it seemed like a nice thing to host an orphans' Tgiving. I have really perfected my supercharged Brussels sprouts. But this year ... yeah. Maybe a good day to march or volunteer someplace.
	11:32am clarke: supercharged sprouts? do tell..
	♥ 11:32am Matt Clarke: I am working on Thanksgiving so no bother
	11:32am Euro fan: It's been 15 years since I last heard WFMU. I just remembered it and found the site here - looks and sounds good!
	♥ 11:33am Frank In Queens: We'd do two Thanksgivings; one at my parents' the Saturday before (my brother goes to his in-laws on the day), and then the day at either our place or at a friend's. None of that happening this year.
	♥ 11:33am Frank In Queens: And yeah, let's hear about them sprouts!
	♥ 11:33am YETI BOB: Hi Handy. I listen to WFMU all weekend but I try to stay off the computer, to give my wrists and brain a rest. But I just bought a new laptop and couldn't resist playing with it. And then people mentioned quantum physics and I couldn't resist that either.
	♥ 11:34am Dennis Diken: hey, I know this song!
	♥ 11:34am Frank In Queens: Jeez, now with all the great shows on the Rock and Soul stream, I barely have time for my own music collection anymore!
	♥ 11:34am Therese: Hello Michael! Hello everyone!
	11:34am Daniel: What you describe in terms of WFMU listening is exactly how I got hooked on your show. I started out about 15 years ago listening to just the Best Show. But my WFMU listening slowly kept expanding and now I can't imagine Saturday mornings without plenty of coffee and your show!
	11:35am mauri: where the grass is green
	♥ 11:36am Handy Haversack: clarke, I basically make a sauce of garlic teriyaki, soy sauce, Sriracha, (good) honey, rice vinegar, Thai chili paste, LOTS of crushed red pepper (we have iron palates; I use almost a tbsp. cut by two-thirds for regular spice appreciators), and corn starch. Slice the sprouts in half and either sautee in peanut oil charged with a little chili oil or bake with a little chili oil for a while, then pour in the sauce and cook a while longer. Hi, Therese! Very proud to share the tastefulest of both Koozies and coasters with you!
	♥ 11:37am Therese: Aw, shucks! Thanks, Handy!
	11:37am clarke: we have a man in Queens.
	♥ 11:38am Frank In Queens: My dad grew up walking distance from the Word's Fair. His band played in the Pavilion that year!
	♥ 11:38am Hubig Pie: Do they still have the underground bomb shelter home ?
	11:38am clarke: thanks for recipe - am down with spicy but not so much the sweet with savory
	♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: My dad worked at the '39 World's Fair in New York!
	♥ 11:39am Matt Clarke: That sprouts recipe sounds great, Handy
	11:39am Moammar: THEM BONGOS!
	♥ 11:39am Dennis Diken: didn't see the ska event but man, the '64/'65 World's Fair was really cool!
	♥ 11:40am Frank In Queens: Handy, sounds really good! But I'm with Clarke, so I'd probably cut out the "honey" and just let the subtle sweetness come from the sriracha.
	11:40am Frank Zaatar: NOW you tell me Millie Smalls was at the World's Fair.
	11:41am tim from Champaign (now washington): What’s the Scoobie Doo cartoon running bingo sound that randomly shows up?
	11:42am Muddybrookrambler: Yes. I don’t recall the Ska Spectacular, but my mom claimed the first word I could read (I was 2) was the giant Schaeffer sign at the Schaeffer pavilion. Also recall “driving” a car at the Ford exhibit—and being asked for my license by a “cop”
	11:42am tim from Champaign (now washington): Bingo = bongo
	11:42am clarke: you think it might be..... MovieTime???
	♥ 11:42am Joe R.: There's some fun NY World's Fair footage on Amazon Prime www.amazon.com...
	11:45am clarke: LISTED as co-writer more like
	♥ 11:45am Frank In Queens: I'll let Michael dictate when it's MovieTime, but it was a great week here In Queens.
	11:46am clarke: cool!
	♥ 11:46am Greg from ZONE 5: This is fantastic—never heard any of his stuff that wasn't straight up calypso.
	♥ 11:47am Dominick: Mind blown
	♥ 11:47am Jimmy Wipper: Mighty Sparrow RULES! I was actually listening to the two cd set Sparrowmania this week.
	11:47am clarke: also, no need to add bongos
	♥ 11:48am Squints: Bongos are like cowbell. Never enough.
	11:48am paul: One bongo clip per show.
	11:50am clarke: no "movies" this week, but i DID get to (finally) see the pilot of the bbc show Endeavour - which is outstanding! incredible location shooting, good detective thang.
	11:50am paul: No A in Murry.
	11:50am KWilde: Hey Mr Wipper! Hey Michael!
	11:50am johnzo: thanksgiving's the one where you have to eat dinner with your family right... drama! anxiety! now with NEW! risk of contracting a deadly illness! sounds fun...
	♥ 11:51am Frank In Queens: Where can one find "Endeavour"?
	11:51am Hannah: We're tuning in from London, England - thanks for a great show Michael, we agree about great British baking show.
	♥ 11:51am Jimmy Wipper: Hey Mr. Wilde!
	11:51am P-90: Good ol’ Reggie Dingleberry
	♥ 11:51am Listener Baby: Love the Reg-ster!
	♥ 11:52am Frank In Queens: Good to know that Reggie Dingleberry is still hanging on.
	11:52am clarke: http://123movie.fm/watch/nGE1MzGb-endeavour.html
	♥ 11:52am Frank In Queens: Thanks Clarke!
	11:52am paul: Thanks. :)
	♥ 11:52am Listener Baby: Ha!! He's clingy that way, Frank.
	♥ 11:53am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Late to the listening party, but thankfully not too late.
	11:53am gdW: Murry Wilson is tied with Fred Trump for Father Of The Year dishonors.
	♥ 11:53am Hubig Pie: I always gets him mixed up with Ronnie Skidmark
	♥ 11:53am Frank In Queens: This week was a jam packed movie week; Vertigo, Psycho, The Birds, Dressed To Kill, and Blood Simple.
	♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: We watched two more-or-less horror movies last night. The new /Invisible Man/, which was well done but does have some triggering stuff for anyone who's been in an abusive relationship. And then a thin but clever, hour-long movie called /Host/, a horror movie that is set in a Zoom seance. Topical! Also watched the I think HBO /Raised by Wolves/. It has its moments, but lots of logic problems, too. And I started in on season 2 of /The Boys/, though Kate's not interested.
	♥ 11:54am Frank In Queens: Reggie Dingleberry and Ronnie Skidmark collaborate A LOT!
	♥ 11:55am Listener Baby: Least we forget Kerry Klingon
	11:55am clarke: HITCHFEST!!!
	11:55am paul: Almost watched The Birds, but went with Pacific Heights instead (featuring Tippi H. and daughter Melanie Griffith)
	♥ 11:56am Frank In Queens: Ah, Pacific Heights. It's been years since I've seen that. Gotta add it to the list.
	11:57am clarke: while i have not Hitched in a while - always great to re-visit. and illuminating.
	♥ 11:57am Hughie Considine: A fine entry in the "creepy neighbor" genre.
	11:57am P-90: OMG it’s like a left coast ersatz Stones thing
	11:58am clarke: okay frank: pick a fave out of this week's viewing
	11:59am clarke: oh yes, keep in mind that Endeavour is a pre-quel to another brit series: Inspector Morse
	♥ 12:00pm Frank In Queens: Hmmmm, well they were all re-watches except for Dressed To Kill. Tough to pick just one fave. I'll have to go with Psycho and Blood Simple.
	12:00pm paul: @Frank, it still holds up. Keaton is great.
	12:00pm Sean: Frank in Queens, wondering where you saw Blood Simple.
	♥ 12:00pm Frank In Queens: @Sean, I have the Criterion Blu-Ray.
	♥ 12:01pm Frank In Queens: @paul, good to know. I've enjoyed most of what Keaton has done.
	12:01pm clarke: my fave out of that group is EAAAASILY: Vertigo gosh dang - hitch's best in my book.
	12:02pm phat: Hot damn this TEF cooks.
	♥ 12:02pm Frank In Queens: I love the look and style of Vertigo, but the story falls a bit short for me.
	♥ 12:02pm Dominick: Blackwing pencils are my fave.
	12:02pm gf2002: Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West! Lots of hot guitar this morning on WFMU
	12:02pm clarke: although i love Rear Window just as much. Tie goes to the runner (which is never true any more)
	12:03pm paul: Nick Lowe said TEF was a huge influence on his songwriting.
	♥ 12:03pm Frank In Queens: Yes, out of the 4 Hitch movies we've watched recently, Rear Window is hands-down my fave.
	12:03pm Sean: @Frank, no wonder I couldn't find it for free this week ... It was at YOUR house. also I only just realized you were talking about Michael and not Buster. Check out "Sherlock Jr." for a cinematic masterpiece.
	♥ 12:04pm Handy Haversack: Pentel Penctec 0.5 mm mechanical pencils for me. All the way.
	12:04pm clarke: cornell woolrich novel
	♥ 12:04pm Frank In Queens: @Sean, I've never seen anything with Buster Keaton. I admittedly have a bit of trouble with silent films.
	♥ 12:05pm Frank In Queens: Willing to keep at it though.
	12:05pm clarke: The General is a good start point slash gateway drug
	12:05pm paul: Buster was actually an incredible athlete.
	♥ 12:06pm Listener Baby: Baby. What is this? When What?
	♥ 12:06pm Hughie Considine: So many of his stunts could have ended in disaster.

	12:09pm clarke: from HitchFest to AlFest -- there is a thread (or was)
	12:09pm dano59: Holy cow an Abner Jay chestnut!

	12:14pm Moammar: THEM BONGOS!
	12:14pm Sean: @Frank, gotta have few distractions and then give it a shot. Sherlock Jr. is definitely my fave because it uses the medium of Cinema itself on a way that is decades before it's time. "The General" also a classic as are "Three Ages" and the shorter ones like "One Week" and "The Electric House" which is making fun of "smart houses" a century ago. https://youtu.be/5Q0FMxZBmO4

	♥ 12:16pm Listener Baby: Jupe! Get on the mic.
	♥ 12:17pm Frank In Queens: It's not "way" out there!
	12:18pm clarke: our man in queens comes thru
	12:18pm clarke: and woman!
	♥ 12:19pm Hughie Considine: Deeply Cooke-y
	12:19pm Aric: The city of Houston Texas and Houston Street in nyc are named after 2 separate individuals who pronounced their names differently.

	♥ 12:22pm Squints: Isn't "Hooston" how General Zod pronounced it in 1978?
	12:22pm P-90: Actually that was “Über-Sam-Cooke-y”
	12:25pm Sean: Hey, I got an uncle lives in Texas.

	12:28pm Dennis https://youtu.be/Sn8V0SjSQhMSparky....thi: Donations made.....Because all other Radio sucks!! Nosey retail stores? When stores ask my zip code, I instantly tell them; 60609. All the zip codes where I live start with 0, but when we were kids, and watched the Price is Right during the summer, “Johnny” was always talking about prizes from the “Spiegel Catalog; Chicago, Illinois, 60609.” Extra points if you use the “Johnny voice” when you give the zip code.
	12:28pm dmart New Mexico: When my husband and I were dating 20 years ago, I had a jazz classics cd that had Dinah Washington singing “Pennies from Heaven.” Listening to to the show together this morning in New Mexico. Thanks Michael!
