	12:00pm Matt Clarke: Hey Mikey n SOS!
	12:01pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi everyone
	12:01pm Mike Sin: Hi there Matt!
	12:01pm Mailman Tom: Refreshing music for a Sunday afternoon. Thanks, Mike!
	12:01pm Matt from New Orleans: A lot of 2 Tone today?
	12:02pm ike_p: greetings Mike and awesome listners!
	12:02pm Mike Sin: Matt from New Orleans -- Thanks for being here!
	12:03pm Lee: Hi Mike, and everyone. Looking forward to this hour.
	12:03pm Mike Sin: Thanks, Mailman Tom!
	12:04pm Mike Sin: Hello ike_p!
	12:04pm Matt Clarke: Always loved the English Beat records.
	12:05pm Mike Sin: Hey there Lee -- Thanks for tuning in today!
	12:05pm Lee: Dave Wakeling a great lyricist, in my opinion
	12:06pm Mike Sin: Matt from New Orleans -- All those '79/'80 bands and Two-Tone was my indeed my gateway!
	12:08pm phat: God I love Two-tone
	12:09pm Mike Sin: Me too, Phat!
	12:09pm Matt from New Orleans: I was too young for 2 Tone. I got into third wave ska in the mid 90s and then started digging back from there. Mostly skipped 2 Tone at that time as I wanted to listen to the OG stuff. Only started really listening in the last few years. I can appreciate the energy and enthusiasm but there’s no real emotional connection for me.
	12:10pm phat: @Matt from New Orleans I have the opposite experience with 3rd wave. It never sounded right to me.
	12:12pm Matt Clarke: Mike, were you into the Two-Tone stuff as it was happening?
	12:13pm Matt from New Orleans: I don’t really listen to any third wave ska any more. I would still go see Fishbone. It’s more of a timing thing. I was an infant when 2 Tone was at its peak.
	12:13pm ike_p: huh - so i should've looked up the lyrics to one step beyond a long time ago
	12:14pm phat: I saw Fishbone last year and I gotta say, they were incredible.
	12:14pm Matt from New Orleans: Rhoda Dakar has a monthly radio show in the U.K. that’s really good
	12:15pm Matt Clarke: @Matt: What station is it on?
	12:15pm Mike Sin: I also saw many of those bands that fell between "classic" Two-Tone and full-on "third wave" -- I downright loved the Untouchables! They rolled into NYC in 1985 or so and and lifted the roof off Irving Plaza!
	12:15pm davefromtoronto: better than the original!
	12:17pm phat: Dave Wakeling tours incessantly, tells horrible jokes, and ROCKS HARD, still. Go see him if you can when all this shit ends.
	12:17pm Mike Sin: @Matt -- Yeah. All those bands were accessible in the US even though they weren't as big as they were in the UK. I caught the English Beat back at that time -- so great!
	12:17pm DJ Terre T: Heya Mike -your show is sounding so great! And I forgot how truly amazing the Beat's version of Tears of a Clown is !
	12:17pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s on the first Monday of the month at 7 AM Eastern on Totally Wired Radio. The past shows are all on Mixlcoud.
	12:17pm Daisy Lacy: Hi folks! Sounds great Mike!
	12:17pm Matt Clarke: Agreed about Dave Wakeling, Phat. Really fun show
	12:17pm Matt Clarke: Cool thanks Matt!
	12:18pm Mike Sin: Hello davefromtoronto!
	12:20pm johnk77: top-shelf selections selecter in the early 80s this style of playlist would be heard between sets of rock bands at north america's hipper live music venues
	12:20pm DJ Terre T: YESSS SOS!
	12:20pm Mike Sin: Hey there Daisy!
	12:21pm davefromtoronto: hi mike s - great show! thanks for doing this.
	12:21pm Mike Sin: Hi Terre T -- Thanks for swingin' by!
	12:22pm Mike Sin: johnk77 -- thanks for always listening to the show!
	12:23pm Marc Francis: What a fantastic version of that song!
	12:25pm Mike Sin: Marc Francis - Yes, I'm stealin' that 45 from DJ SOS!
	12:25pm Matt from New Orleans: I dig Nicky Thomas’ covers of Can I Change Your Mind and Rainy Night in Georgia
	12:25pm DA The DJ: Can I request a U-Roy special someday?
	12:26pm Mike Sin: Matt from New Orleans -- Right on re: Rainy Night in Georgia!
	12:26pm Matt Clarke: SOS is a top DJ!
	12:27pm Paulie B: Oh man, I missed a whole set of Two-Tone? I'll have to listen to the archive!
	12:28pm Mike Sin: DA the DJ! ...../ ) .....' / ---' (_____ ......... ((__) ..... _ ((___) ....... -'((__) --.___((_)
	12:29pm Mike Sin: Hey Paulie B!
	12:31pm phat: This show is my favorite new WFMU show. I wish you did more than an hour.
	12:32pm Mike Sin: Thanks so much, phat!
	12:33pm Matt Clarke: This Dreamers is really nice!
	12:34pm DJ Terre T: These DJ SOS cuts are lovely--so good!
	12:35pm SOS: Thanks all! I’m all about the VeRSionsss
	12:36pm Mike Sin: Matt -- re: Dreamers - Yeah, that was completely new to me!
	12:37pm SOS: Fun fact: The b side version of that dreamers song is aptly called “The Blade”
	12:39pm Matt Clarke: @SOS: Gotta find that one
	12:41pm DJ Terre T: ALRIGHT!!
	12:41pm Mike Sin: Hey folks -- sorry about "crackling campfire" happening under some of these records -- I got garlic bread crumbs all over the place.
	12:42pm Little Danny: Hi Mike, hi all
	12:42pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Checking in late today! I just gotta say that the music you play Mike, is the exact tempo I need for my AM exercises. Nice relaxing pace, always learning something new!
	12:42pm johnk77: all the other stations are versions?;>
	12:42pm Lee: This Hammering version is spectacular!
	12:43pm Mike Sin: Hey there, Little Danny!
	12:44pm johnk77: @phat agreed this show needs to be longer
	12:44pm Mike Sin: Hi Glynis -- thanks very much! Thanks for tuning in!
	12:44pm Matt Clarke: Nice, SOS!
	12:44pm Matt from New Orleans: Great set SOS
	12:45pm ike_p: thank you dj sos - beautiful set
	12:45pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Thank DJ SOS, enjoying it!
	12:46pm Matt Clarke: Ha! Sorry SOS!
	12:47pm SOS: @matt best Elvis song ever
	12:48pm Matt Clarke: LOL
	12:51pm Marc Francis: DANG.
	12:51pm Matt from New Orleans: Phish likes covering this song. I’ve seen them do it many times.
	12:53pm Matt Clarke: I guess Hopeton doesn't like cups of meat. Don't blame him!
	12:53pm Michael 98145: Thank you again!
	12:53pm DJ Terre T: LOL the Joya Landis tune--It was so weirdly incest-y +Freudian that I thought maybe it was just my sick mind going there- Coz honestly who would do a song so preverted + think all was fine with it ?!!? Great set DJ SOS!
	12:54pm Mike Sin: Matt Clarke - good catch!
	12:54pm Mike Sin: DJ Terre T -- half of the 45s in SOS's collection are perverted!
	12:55pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Mike & SOS. It’s over way too soon.
	12:55pm Mike Sin: Thank you, Michael 98145!
	12:56pm Matt Clarke: Fantastic show today, Mikey n SOS!
