	11:04am Daybreak & The BIG Break!: It was more of a concept high.
	11:04am clarke: we can't ALL have Teenage Fanclub coffee cups.
	♥ 11:04am listener 126464: Hello Michael, cheers Jack, everyone!
	♥ 11:04am Squints: There's radio where this stuff is ubiquitous. But I don't listen to taht. So when it pops up occasionally over here, it makes me all warm and smiley.
	11:05am Listener Bop Monroe: squints. exactly.
	11:06am Jon Noe: I had tickets to see Bad Co. in '78 then I lost my wallet. Rockpile was the opener.
	11:06am clarke: exquisite keyboard here.

	11:09am Jon Noe: Cool, my pal Jon Hyde plays steel on this Bee Gees cover.
	11:11am phat: I worked out the opening riff to All the Young Dudes a couple weeks ago, speaking of Ralphs. It's fun as hell to play and maybe a little more difficult than it sounds.

	♥ 11:16am Adammets: Just saw a youtube clip of him explaining different styles - very nice youtu.be...

	♥ 11:18am Hughie Considine: This bagel recipe has never failed me. and it's funny. boingboing.net...
	♥ 11:19am northguineahills: I like how the bagel discussion is still going on. I just wish as soon as I found a decent Jewish deli, it closes for good two months later (spent 3 years down here looking for an edible bagel, must be the Florida water. (I don't have kitchen to bake anymore).
	♥ 11:19am Hoboken Jack: Yo Darren, happy Christmas, buddy!! Hey Greg and HP Ken!
	♥ 11:20am YETI BOB: @ngh: I had some good bagels in Miami, they advertised that they brought water in from NYC
	♥ 11:20am Artie: It must be asked: Where exactly is Fred Flinstone headed off to in such a hurry? The bagel shop? (and what exactly is the instrument in that sound effect??)
	11:20am Darren: Hi everyone! this bagel talk's got me flustered Merry Xmas Jumpin Jack!!
	♥ 11:22am Squints: How come he can never carry a tune like this on the actual chart hits -- e.g., She's Just My Style? Dang. This is some kind of alright.
	♥ 11:25am Listener Baby: Baby!
	11:26am clarke: BABY!!!
	♥ 11:26am Michael Shelley: baby!

	♥ 11:29am Listener Baby: Overslept. Yikes. Boy am I groggy. Hi all my friends. Looks like we made it.
	11:30am clarke: good for you BABY!!
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Panderer ! Sell Out ! ...I'm bad company - & I can't deny it...
	♥ 11:30am Handy Haversack: That bagel recipe far exceeds the kitchen tech available here at the Haversackery. Maybe I'll make a tomato sauce later, though.
	11:31am egould310: I was about to call for bongo feet.
	11:31am Jon Noe: So many bongo breaks today!!!
	11:32am clarke: handy - how long does your tom sauce take?
	♥ 11:33am Hoboken Jack: Baby: see my first comment! Hello Dennis!
	11:34am clarke: that breakdown sounded like The Frogs!!
	11:34am Daybreak & The BIG Break!: Now that is a number 1 hit. Go Knacks go!
	♥ 11:35am Handy Haversack: clarke, all in all, maybe two, two and a half hours?
	11:35am Dennis Diken: Hi Jack! I recall a Gary Lewis interview (Goldmine, I think?) from the ‘70s or early ‘80s where he was so bitter about the changing musical tide that rendered his career passé. The interviewer asked him what he thought about newer groups, like The Ramones. Gary’s response: “zero talent.” He was also asked how he felt about Jimi Hendrix. Gary’s response: “zero talent.”
	11:35am clarke: wow, with constant stirring?
	♥ 11:36am Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! Enjoying this edition of number ones. Don't know this Merle. Already has me under its spell.
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <- 1st day of school ever with YellowSub. Cause Boxing Day. Not Muskogee - no dope yet...
	♥ 11:36am Handy Haversack: Oh, no, not constant. Every few minutes, just to keep it from sticking.
	11:37am Daybreak & The BIG Break!: “I guess she should have the final say” No progressive for the world, BUT wow, that is progressive for a ballad.
	11:38am clarke: HH - i definitely have made sauce, but long ago. guess i go for the convenience of (better made, these days) bottled kind.
	♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: Rev. Rab, do you know about our local Yellow Submarine? I have paddled to it: forgotten-ny.com...
	♥ 11:38am Frank In Queens: Oh, did everyone get novelty socks this Xmas? I got ones that say "This Meeting Is Bullshit".
	♥ 11:38am Listener Baby: Jack. Your dream was a nightmare. How could anyone think that? You don’t want to me be me. Or look like me. Or act like me. You be you, Jack. Stop all this crazy dreaming. I’m worried about you.
	11:39am clarke: i'll be you
	♥ 11:40am Handy Haversack: Mine is really a fra diavolo, clarke. No one makes sauce spicy enough for me and Kate!
	11:40am clarke: this meeting IS bullshit!!
	♥ 11:40am Frank In Queens: Aren't they all?
	11:41am clarke: agree about the spice!!
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Handy : Wull NYC rilly has it all - Oh Yeaha Oh Yeah ! ...that's poetry see - real talent...
	11:42am clarke: glad that santa made it to Queens!
	♥ 11:42am Mr. Fine Wine: Do you now add Fred Flintstone feet sounds to every song??
	♥ 11:42am Handy Haversack: (We're also both wearing our Black Sabbath Black Lives Matter shirts today and look like total dorks when we're in the same room!)
	♥ 11:43am Yes: hey all
	11:44am clarke: oh we're doing this NOW??
	♥ 11:44am Handy Haversack: We watched all three Community holiday episodes the other night. Excellent.
	11:45am Daybreak & The BIG Break!: Are you getting the movie snob scarf for Boxing Day???
	♥ 11:45am Greg from ZONE 5: "Night of the Meek" is GREAT. Other Christmas Zones of note: Five Characters in Search of an Exit, and Changing of the Guard.
	♥ 11:45am Hoboken Jack: Dibs on Michael's nacho ends.
	♥ 11:45am HyperDose: You were forced to watch A Bad Moms Christmas? That's inhumane
	11:46am phat: @Squints I'm not a particularly great guitarist...
	11:46am Zetti: Rod Serling's Carol for Another Christmas (1964) www.imdb.com...
	♥ 11:46am Hughie Considine: Zing!

	♥ 11:48am JG: Had seen it in the theater when it came out but last night on cable, What a great story- Love and Mercy. Jeez, what a genius Brian Wilson was/is. Sad though, the mental illness.

	♥ 11:50am Listener Baby: Never settle for a 58, Jupe.
	11:51am clarke: a cookie full of arsenic!
	11:51am phat: @Squints the letter u, and the numeral 2
	♥ 11:51am myron feld: I saw Spinal Tap at the Music Machine in LA, 1984. MS, maybe you did, too?
	♥ 11:52am Michael Shelley: frank - i tried to get some one to do the "where's Don..." but, sadly, no takers
	11:52am Zetti: @GregZone5. That is a full length film! I also recommend the Serling's film Patterns (1956).
	♥ 11:52am common: 2!? ponderous
	♥ 11:52am Frank In Queens: There's always next year, Michael.
	♥ 11:52am Listener Baby: I was there Myron.

	♥ 11:55am myron feld: Baby: I remember!
	11:56am Daybreak & The BIG Break!: Wow! There is a whole lot of The Loving spoonfuls “6 o’clock” running under this.
	♥ 11:56am Pedro in Arlington: There's a scene in "Mank" where Orson Welles predicts the difficulty of working with "a New Jersey No. 1 dee jay."
	♥ 11:57am Eddy in Australia: Clarke! The dunny is a long way from the radio.
	11:57am KWilde: Daybreak - I was thinking same
	11:57am clarke: got that right!!
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rex actually reminds of NPR's BillCurtis - hadn't thot of it. (Compliment.)
	11:58am clarke: Eddy - hear that you have a different schedule these days - we miss ya, mate!!
	11:59am KWilde: This one suggests Brown Eyed Girl
	♥ 11:59am Hughie Considine: Peter and Gordon were the American answer to Chad and Jeremy?

	♥ 12:06pm Squints: Darn, this is real good. Real good. Good God, y'all.
	♥ 12:06pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Zetti: Saw Patterns a few years ago and it blew my mind. Same with Requiem for a Heavyweight and The Comedian. There's a reason the guy had a dumptruck full of Emmys.
	♥ 12:06pm LW Rhino: I really miss the the Montclair First Night Celebrations back in the good ole days.
	12:07pm Jon Noe: He didn't find my wallet. Geez...

	12:09pm Sean: What, no bongos?
	♥ 12:09pm Micheal: Saw Rockpile on a billing w The Rubinoos and Elvis Costello and the Attractions in 1978. I lost my wallet that night.
	♥ 12:09pm Listener Baby: Friends. If you support this program regularity, I have something pretty special for you.

	12:10pm clarke: you have no business in show business, son.
	12:10pm Zetti: @GregZone5 I haven't seen The Comedian, luv Frankenheimer. Will watch that today. Thanks!
	12:10pm Andres: Wondered what time it was for Eddy in Australia. Never realized it had more than one time zone. So many!
	♥ 12:11pm Squints: I saw the Rubinoos open for Elvis Costello at UVM in March 1979. Same tour, I'd expect.
	♥ 12:12pm Listener Baby: I found Cary Ulwes wallet once in Malibu. Does that count?
	12:12pm clarke: i found some tix for the Rubinoos in a discarded satchel.
	♥ 12:12pm Eddy in Australia: @Andre 4:12am Sunday in Melbourne. The other time zones in Australia don't count!
	12:12pm Andres: Only knew this by the English Beat. I like this much better.
	♥ 12:12pm Eddy in Australia: Sorry, Andres!
	♥ 12:13pm myron feld: The Dick Van Dyke show episode with Chad & Jeremy as "The Redcoats" looms large in my childhood memories.
	♥ 12:13pm Michael Shelley: Eddie, are you working, or cant sleep - or just up to listen?
	♥ 12:13pm Squints: I'm glad Catwoman gave them their voices back.
	♥ 12:13pm Mike Sin: Merry holidays, folks! Been listening to a lot of Chad & Jeremy lately. Lots of fantastic material there.
	♥ 12:14pm spodiodi: aloha, MS and country music fans!
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Let's say the show happens before you can get the wallet back... It's all controversy on the Shelley Show...
	♥ 12:14pm Hughie Considine: Good call, @Squints! @Myron, any time a real band made an appearance on a tv sitcom in the 60s, it was memorable.
	♥ 12:15pm Handy Haversack: Morning (locally), spodi!
	12:15pm Andres: Thanks, Eddy! Will focus any future Australian vacation on Melbourne per your recommendation.
	♥ 12:15pm spodiodi: good afternoon to you, Handy!
	12:15pm disgraceddavefromtoronto: i loved his diss song about "Counties of Wayne"
	12:15pm Dennis Diken: Doc Pomus hung out in some NYC clubs in the 80s and we became buds. He told me he was not particularly fond of his tune “Can’t Get Used To Losing You.” ??!! Totally killer song, methinks. love Chad & Jeremy’s version. RIP Chad Stuart
	♥ 12:15pm Squints: I'm just the right age for all that stuff to be in wheelhouse, Hughie.
	♥ 12:16pm northguineahills: Sam Segal (from GTDS, If you lose your horse), and well everyone else is surprised that I love country music. (sam also is a country music fan).
	♥ 12:16pm Squints: CGUTLY is a great song almost no matter who does it.
	♥ 12:17pm herb.nyc: Michael mentioned movies. I watched "house on telegraph hill" last night. One scene has the mom come home and ask nanny where her son is. Answer-"he's in his room, listening to the radio". Unintentionally funny.
	♥ 12:18pm myron feld: @Hughie: yes sir. So exciting.
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Country's all been downhill since they let drums in the Opry...
	♥ 12:18pm spodiodi: i just had a hully gully jpg in my progile a couple of days ago... ready to become an avatar. never happened, but this song has me reconsidering
	♥ 12:18pm steveo: the country music hall of fame blew me away some years ago; helped me exorcise all those prejudices i had growing up too cool for country
	♥ 12:19pm spodiodi: profile too
	12:20pm DG: Wow, Gary Lewis sounds like he inherited the same tolerance for anything new or different as his dad.
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sarah Vaughan never covered The Hollies...
	♥ 12:21pm Handy Haversack: We were going to go to Nashville for the first time in September. Sigh.
	♥ 12:21pm Eddy in Australia: @Michael Couldn't sleep, it's hot out, been sick all week, keeping weird hours, waiting for you to misspell my name ...
	12:21pm Woo: Talent is overrated.
	12:22pm clarke: oh yeah - it's not only tomorrow, but it is SUMMER
	♥ 12:22pm spodiodi: it's all about rhythm and melody
	♥ 12:23pm Michael Shelley: and lead bass
	♥ 12:23pm steveo: hope you'll make it soon, HH
	♥ 12:23pm Hughie Considine: Sounds was my favorite place in NYC for years -- even with its famously cantankerous approach to customer service.
	♥ 12:23pm spodiodi: and lead bass
	12:24pm clarke: would that be Capt Sensible on ze bass?
	12:24pm the illuminated void: mazel tov
	12:24pm ?: You went to SOUNDS too?!
	12:24pm the illuminated void: st marks 81...... trash and vaudeville?
	12:24pm Stillwell Coney Islander: I ❤️ Sarah Vaughan THE Sassy one!
	12:25pm Eric: Subway expeditions down to St Marks were such a high point of high school
	12:25pm the illuminated void: thompson square riots
	♥ 12:25pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, steveo!
	12:25pm clarke: Sounds was more of what i call a "museum" for blokes who were on tour and broke.
	12:25pm Ross T.: Man I bought a lot of music at Sounds, and all along St. Marks Place. The Village. The Record Store experience...like the steam powered locomotive....
	12:27pm clarke: what was the pizza joint on St. Mark's and, i guess 2nd Ave? i could afford THAT.
	♥ 12:27pm Hughie Considine: Still can't remove the Sounds stickers from CD cases. They made their own glue I think.
	♥ 12:28pm Michael Shelley: oh yeah - huge round stickers
	♥ 12:29pm Hughie Considine: St. Mark's Pizza, next to Continental Divide on 3rd Avenue
	12:29pm DG: (St. Marks) Sounds was my go-to spot in the Village for used/cheap vinyl & CDs, but I don't remember the staff much, they didn't seem to talk to you a lot. Venus, across the street, was different: the guys there would play all kinds of stuff there (from punk to oldies, & that might be where I first heard the famed Casey Kasem rant) & were friendlier, from what I remember. In their last days, they had some kind of deal where you got a token every time you bought something & could later trade them in for stuff....I miss all those places & I picked up stuff there that I'm sure is hard to find now (or selling for outrageous prices on eBay & elsewhere).
	12:29pm MFlynn: Love the Willis Bros! Awesome truck drivin songs!!!!
	12:30pm clarke: nah the other way
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Before amps with Gain or Fuzz boxes that added sustain instead of cut it - gittar required actual brute force to catch up with what horns had done til then...
	12:31pm Sean: I gotta go fuck
	12:31pm Bob: Listener Babymaking music
	12:32pm clarke: sounds good.
	♥ 12:32pm Listener Baby: Baby. Did you forget the bass playing? Best bass player ever, was a sax player. Bassist on this song wasn’t even the bassist in his own band. This song is the cream of all the crop.
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MARVIN
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...never covered TheHollies...
	♥ 12:33pm Hughie Considine: @DG, there were at least a half dozen record shops within a four-block radius: Sounds, Venus, Finyl Vinyl and others whose names escape me. It was so booming that I recall a manager at Sounds named Joe left to start his own store -- right across the street. The name? Joe's CDs.
	12:33pm Dennis Diken: Mikey, drummers listed on the Marvin Gaye LP are Paul Humphrey and Uriel Jones. I’m guessing it’s PH?
	12:34pm clarke: edit?
	♥ 12:34pm Hughie Considine: Jack Black's version is also good.
	12:34pm Ross T.: Stromboli's Clarke?
	12:34pm Bob: But is the bass player Jamerson or Wilton Felder? I've seen both listed
	♥ 12:35pm Hughie Considine: I'll take this over "Grapevine" any day.
	12:35pm Ross T.: Slice and a falafel -- dinner.
	♥ 12:35pm Eddy in Australia: Drums on this one by Bernard Purdie?
	12:35pm clarke: THAT'S IT!!!! fantastic slices!!
	♥ 12:35pm Listener Baby: Felder for sure
	12:36pm clarke: how could i forget Stromboli's?!?!?!
	12:36pm the illuminated void: ah yes st marks pizza wow thats one to remember
	12:36pm Ross T.: Stromboli's was my fave -- the sauce.
	♥ 12:36pm spodiodi: where's me smack?
	♥ 12:36pm Squints: wrt Grapevine, Gladys>Gaye 10 times out of 10.
	♥ 12:37pm Hughie Considine: Yet Grapevine was at the top of Dave Marsh's 500 Greatest Singles....
	12:37pm clarke: hoodoo's - fine outfit!
	♥ 12:37pm Eddy in Australia: Best Liverpool accent ever, Michael; Australian, not so much.
	12:37pm Sean: I liked this band when this was new music
	12:38pm Bob: One of the best bands ever. Truly.
	♥ 12:38pm Hughie Considine: Let's All Turn On is one of the great song-reference-filled songs ever
	12:38pm Jon Noe: Gurus reunion tour was going to be this year.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hoodoos + +
	♥ 12:39pm Listener Baby: Their records don’t sound dated, considering they recording in the most dated era.
	12:39pm clarke: the Hoodoo's never really survived the loss of Brad (RIP)
	♥ 12:39pm Squints: This right here is pretty seriously Number One.
	12:39pm DG: Wow, it's nice to hear the Hoodoo Gurus do something a bit milder. Saw them open for the Bangles in the '80s at the Beacon & they were so loud you couldn't tell one song from another (I'd think THEIR sound guy just turned up the volume on everything & went to get a beer).
	♥ 12:40pm spodiodi: Josie and the Pussycats? yep
	12:40pm clarke: watch it, mate!!
	♥ 12:40pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke I'm pretty sure Brad is alive and well.
	♥ 12:40pm spodiodi: cool
	♥ 12:41pm Hughie Considine: @DG, I saw the Gurus at Maxwell's back in the day, and indeed they were memorably too loud.
	♥ 12:42pm Squints: Very HoneyComb vibe here.
	12:42pm johnk77: great show today elvis costello tour i regret missing most also featured mink deville & rockpile
	12:42pm disgraceddavefromtoronto: the fine line between homage and ripoff...
	♥ 12:42pm Squints: Josie was an Archie comics title. But was the band in the comics before the cartoon show?
	♥ 12:43pm northguineahills: Sharon Jones!
	12:43pm phat: Goddamn Rescue Me is brilliant.
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Many slices from Stromboli's. Also, for those who went farther downtown, Rosario's has closed.
	♥ 12:43pm Listener Baby: Too loud in a bad way, The Posies at the Whiskey A Gogo. Too loud in a good way, Black Crowes at aThe Roxy.
	♥ 12:44pm Eddy in Australia: Rosario's, now we're talking! It closed?
	12:44pm Bob: Sharon Jones records are probably better with Flintstones drops. Still not that great
	♥ 12:45pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Eddy. We just found out last week.
	♥ 12:45pm Squints: Bob, I'm just glad someone's making these records these days.
	12:45pm McGroovey: My sisters lived Josie and the Pussycats. they also had records by another similar "group" that I can't remember the name of who were Josie copycats. I don't think the copycats had a TV show, but the records were just as catchy. the other group's records came with dolls (maybe ½ or ¾ the height of a Barbie doll) whose feet fit in holes on the record labels, and the doll sound around as the record played on the turntable. I wish I could remember what they were called.
	♥ 12:45pm Frank In Queens: Filthy? Sounds great!
	12:46pm clarke: the guys in Stromboli's were VERY nice&friendly - this is/was important for a kid from the south
	♥ 12:46pm artbrau: back in the 80's my post-club ritual was to get a slice or two at Stromboli's I lived across from the Russian/Turkish bath on 10th
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...when Fontella Bass dropped the lyric sheet & hummed...
	♥ 12:46pm McGroovey: *loved
	12:46pm Sean: GO APE!
	12:47pm johnk77: black crowes loudest band ever to rehearse @carrolls led to new regulations by owners on loud rehearsals;<
	♥ 12:47pm Squints: These guys should have teamed with Louis Prima to make some unintelligible PSAs.
	♥ 12:48pm Handy Haversack: Jem and the Holograms, McGroovey?
	♥ 12:48pm McGroovey: *doll SPUN around I fixed that the first time before posting, but somehow autocorrect still foils me.
	12:48pm DG: I remember The Groove Tube, probably saw it in college....isn't the guy running around NYC Buzzy Linhart (the late songwriter)? He's in the movie in some capacity, I know.
	♥ 12:48pm spodiodi: truly outrageous
	12:48pm Ross T.: Ah Groove Tube/Kentucky Fried double feature I recall. It was midnight shows for stoners where I was. All I remember is a young Chevy Chase and something involving a costumed penis?
	♥ 12:48pm Squints: Strong with man's red fire, these ones are.
	12:48pm Sean: GO APE! movie poster https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1416/8662/products/Go_Ape_1974_linen_original_film_art_5000x.jpg
	♥ 12:48pm spodiodi: truly, truly, truly outrageous
	12:49pm clarke: Gain Structure was achieved, today. as par usuale.
	12:49pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Mumbles - I remember this from when I was a kid. It was very popular and fun for kids to sing along to :-))
	12:49pm MFlynn: I love every rendition of this Seger tune ( particularly Dave Edmunds version!!)
	♥ 12:49pm Listener Baby: Johnk77. At the Roxy, amps were 10 feet from you, and stage was such, that one’s head was perfectly lined up with speakers in them. Then they cranked through the pa at ear splitting levels. Still one the greatest shows I’ve ever seen.
	♥ 12:50pm Squints: This cover just RIPs. I keep wanting to bellow "Ca Plane Pour Moi."
	12:50pm Bob: Why does this song resonate with so many pub and garage bands but twenty other cool as hell early Bob Seger tunes get ignored?
	♥ 12:50pm Squints: Right there witcha, MFlynn.
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Given 10,000 hours I could teach myself keyboard but : - I don't wanna learn it 'wrong' on my own - who has 10,000 hours in their old age ??...
	♥ 12:51pm spodiodi: \m/
	12:51pm egould310: Great show, Michael. Thanks for the tunes and the laughs. Listen at ya next week.
	♥ 12:52pm Handy Haversack: Ha, exactly, Squints!
	♥ 12:52pm Listener Baby: I saw JD McPherson not too long ago, and they were waaaaayyyyy too loud. Never would expect that.
	12:52pm clarke: see ya'll nex'year.
	♥ 12:52pm spodiodi: thanks, Michael Shelley! see ya next year! thanks, crew! cheerio all
	♥ 12:53pm Eddy in Australia: Happy New Year to all, see you on the other side. Michael, thanks for another great year of radio. Clarke, you be me for a while.
	12:53pm johnk77: the best part of the black crowes rehearsals was the 2 or 3 days before the singer showed up rich robinson and the drummer and bassist in a smaller room:>
	12:53pm clarke: and i'll be you.
	12:53pm MFlynn: Thanks Michael! What a blast!!!
	♥ 12:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Another blazer! Thanks, Darren! Happy New Year, all! See you in 2021 and hopefully a brighter time.
	12:54pm xindeed: I saw Dylan do "Get Out of Denver" in Detroit in 2004. It was amazing. Really!! Check it on YouTube..
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sh*t - I'm too loud for myself! Sigh ...I guess grownups wear earplugs...
	♥ 12:55pm Frank In Queens: Thanks for a great show Michael!
	♥ 12:55pm Corey: The Muffs were one of the bands of 2020 for me. Lots of joy, a little poignancy, catchy as can be. Exactly what I needed a lot of times.
	♥ 12:55pm Corey: Thanks Michael and crew for the great show! As advertised, flew by.
	12:56pm Dennis Diken: Man, I never missed Rockpile when they came to town, they totally ruled my ‘70s! I caught that EC/Mink D/Rockpile show @ the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ. That was one happening venue. Saw Stymie & Spanky “in person” there in ‘74. Great show Mikey!
	12:56pm Stillwell Coney Islander: I'm always pleasantly surprised when I hear Sarah Vaughan on FMU. She's not played much here. Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm johnk77: capitol in passaic even smelled like rock'n'roll
	12:57pm clarke: stymie and spanky? the cliff-hanger for next week!!
	12:57pm Dennis Diken: Indeed johnk77!
	♥ 12:57pm Listener Baby: Stymie and Spanky?????
	♥ 12:58pm Eddy in Australia: Spoken like a true 16-year-old!

	12:58pm clarke: tune in next week, kids!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have a feeling 21's gonna be a good year.
	12:59pm DG: Saw Rockpile 2x in '79....first, opening for Blondie at Belmont Racetrack (they used to have shows there after the races, they may have opened with "The Race is On") & then a month or 2 later at the Palladium (RIP) with John Cooper Clarke (weird Brit poet who looked like Dylan in his "Blonde on Blonde" period) & David Johansen opening. Amazing both times.
	12:59pm P-90: Best New Years wishes EVER!
	12:59pm Dennis Diken: S&S showed films, Q&A, autographs; midnite show! Saw George Harrison that afternoon at MSG

The interviewer asked him what he thought about newer groups, like The Ramones. Gary’s response: “zero talent.” He was also asked how he felt about Jimi Hendrix. Gary’s response: “zero talent.”

	12:25pm clarke: Sounds was more of what i call a "museum" for blokes who were on tour and broke.
	12:25pm Ross T.: Man I bought a lot of music at Sounds, and all along St. Marks Place. The Village. The Record Store experience...like the steam powered locomotive....
	12:27pm clarke: what was the pizza joint on St. Mark's and, i guess 2nd Ave? i could afford THAT.
	♥ 12:27pm Hughie Considine: Still can't remove the Sounds stickers from CD cases. They made their own glue I think.
	♥ 12:28pm Michael Shelley: oh yeah - huge round stickers
	♥ 12:29pm Hughie Considine: St. Mark's Pizza, next to Continental Divide on 3rd Avenue
	12:29pm DG: (St. Marks) Sounds was my go-to spot in the Village for used/cheap vinyl & CDs, but I don't remember the staff much, they didn't seem to talk to you a lot. Venus, across the street, was different: the guys there would play all kinds of stuff there (from punk to oldies, & that might be where I first heard the famed Casey Kasem rant) & were friendlier, from what I remember. In their last days, they had some kind of deal where you got a token every time you bought something & could later trade them in for stuff....I miss all those places & I picked up stuff there that I'm sure is hard to find now (or selling for outrageous prices on eBay & elsewhere).
	12:29pm MFlynn: Love the Willis Bros! Awesome truck drivin songs!!!!
	12:30pm clarke: nah the other way
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Before amps with Gain or Fuzz boxes that added sustain instead of cut it - gittar required actual brute force to catch up with what horns had done til then...

	12:31pm Bob: Listener Babymaking music
	12:32pm clarke: sounds good.
	♥ 12:32pm Listener Baby: Baby. Did you forget the bass playing? Best bass player ever, was a sax player. Bassist on this song wasn’t even the bassist in his own band. This song is the cream of all the crop.
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MARVIN
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...never covered TheHollies...
	♥ 12:33pm Hughie Considine: @DG, there were at least a half dozen record shops within a four-block radius: Sounds, Venus, Finyl Vinyl and others whose names escape me. It was so booming that I recall a manager at Sounds named Joe left to start his own store -- right across the street. The name? Joe's CDs.
	12:33pm Dennis Diken: Mikey, drummers listed on the Marvin Gaye LP are Paul Humphrey and Uriel Jones. I’m guessing it’s PH?
	12:34pm clarke: edit?
	♥ 12:34pm Hughie Considine: Jack Black's version is also good.
	12:34pm Ross T.: Stromboli's Clarke?

	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hoodoos + +
	♥ 12:39pm Listener Baby: Their records don’t sound dated, considering they recording in the most dated era.
	12:39pm clarke: the Hoodoo's never really survived the loss of Brad (RIP)
	♥ 12:39pm Squints: This right here is pretty seriously Number One.
	12:39pm DG: Wow, it's nice to hear the Hoodoo Gurus do something a bit milder. Saw them open for the Bangles in the '80s at the Beacon & they were so loud you couldn't tell one song from another (I'd think THEIR sound guy just turned up the volume on everything & went to get a beer).
	♥ 12:40pm spodiodi: Josie and the Pussycats? yep
	12:40pm clarke: watch it, mate!!
	♥ 12:40pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke I'm pretty sure Brad is alive and well.

	12:43pm phat: Goddamn Rescue Me is brilliant.
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Many slices from Stromboli's. Also, for those who went farther downtown, Rosario's has closed.
	♥ 12:43pm Listener Baby: Too loud in a bad way, The Posies at the Whiskey A Gogo. Too loud in a good way, Black Crowes at aThe Roxy.
	♥ 12:44pm Eddy in Australia: Rosario's, now we're talking! It closed?
	12:44pm Bob: Sharon Jones records are probably better with Flintstones drops. Still not that great
	♥ 12:45pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Eddy. We just found out last week.
	♥ 12:45pm Squints: Bob, I'm just glad someone's making these records these days.
	12:45pm McGroovey: My sisters lived Josie and the Pussycats. they also had records by another similar "group" that I can't remember the name of who were Josie copycats. I don't think the copycats had a TV show, but the records were just as catchy. the other group's records came with dolls (maybe ½ or ¾ the height of a Barbie doll) whose feet fit in holes on the record labels, and the doll sound around as the record played on the turntable. I wish I could remember what they were called.
	♥ 12:45pm Frank In Queens: Filthy? Sounds great!
	12:46pm clarke: the guys in Stromboli's were VERY nice&friendly - this is/was important for a kid from the south

	♥ 12:48pm spodiodi: truly outrageous

	12:49pm MFlynn: I love every rendition of this Seger tune ( particularly Dave Edmunds version!!)
	♥ 12:49pm Listener Baby: Johnk77. At the Roxy, amps were 10 feet from you, and stage was such, that one’s head was perfectly lined up with speakers in them. Then they cranked through the pa at ear splitting levels. Still one the greatest shows I’ve ever seen.
	♥ 12:50pm Squints: This cover just RIPs. I keep wanting to bellow "Ca Plane Pour Moi."
	12:50pm Bob: Why does this song resonate with so many pub and garage bands but twenty other cool as hell early Bob Seger tunes get ignored?
	♥ 12:50pm Squints: Right there witcha, MFlynn.
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Given 10,000 hours I could teach myself keyboard but : - I don't wanna learn it 'wrong' on my own - who has 10,000 hours in their old age ??...
