	11:17am Joe B: @handy - was that your first time back at the station since before omicron?
	11:17am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Bring on the hits!
	11:17am andy fuchs: well, THIS isn't awful....wow....embarrassing. Even legends can falter...
	11:18am Dano59: also Split Lip Rayfield, with the bass made from a Ford F-150 gas tank.
	11:18am Joe B: @dano - wow, the Blacks. i loved them. I saw whatever their next band was but then I lost them off my radar
	11:18am Handy Haversack: More research is clearly needed, Joe B! Yes, first time back since Omicron. It was great. I was still seeing yellow from the T-shirts as I was going to sleep last night! We also set up the phones for Marathon. Really nice to be back there. And I got to have lunch with ALL FOUR DOGS. That was a thrill! Two Sides of the Moon -- Flat Mooners??!
	11:19am Dano59: 'Tortured Holiday' is still a fave, @Joe B. They covered Back to Black sometime in the last decade...
	11:19am Kotzwinkled: @Dano Split Lip! Perhaps the greatest band of all time.
	11:20am gf2002: Keith was a massive Beach Boys fan - Those photos of his birthday party where he got Redford's "Sting" suit as a gift also show Brian Wilson there in his bathrobe. The Hollywood Vampyres! I think they were trying to get a guide vocal for Keith's range which is why John S did that rough guide.
	11:20am Dano59: I dunno bout that, @kw. But fun regardless
	11:20am Dano59: Two Sides is a lotta fun, the banter with Ringo etc.
	11:20am Kotzwinkled: @Dano I may be biased. Checking in from Lawrence, KS.
	11:21am Peter Horvath: October Country! Yes!
	11:21am Joe B: @handy - great news! I guess the not so great news is we are moving into studio B starting monday
	11:22am gf2002: Interesting point - Lennon wasn't at Keith's birthday party with his other "Lost Weekend" cohorts because he was back in New York that week...and that weekend was when Lennon said he saw a UFO hovering above NYC.
	11:22am clarke: yes - this is smashing!
	11:22am Dano59: I lost my jack o'lantern icon so I guess I gotta pledge again soon
	11:22am PatrickMC: Now the sun shines. SDQ
	11:23am clarke: but isn't it I WISH I Was A Fire?
	11:24am Handy Haversack: The dump button at the MC station works, Joe -- Scott made sure! Sir Doug!
	11:25am clarke: this pre-dates Mendocino, i assume??
	11:25am Joe B: after mendocino
	11:26am clarke: wow
	11:26am clarke: an actual digression sorta
	11:27am Dano59: that You Only Live Twice lick was sweet.
	11:28am Dano59: Michael, this could be one of yours!
	11:28am Joe B: @dano - was thinking the same thing!
	11:29am clarke: wavin' the f'n gun around!!!
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Morning ! So glad to have stolen gym WiFis to be here...
	11:30am Dano59: I think the term originated with the generation who got The Beetle Beat by The Buggs for Christmas in 1965
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that it gets to were the phrase FakeBeatles gets litigious...
	11:31am Kotzwinkled: The Super Bowl ads were certainly the bleakest in history imo. Dark stuff.
	11:32am Montmaster J: agree re: super bowl....we had good chili though.
	11:32am clarke: it was a good game, but you have to know defense to appreciate it. half-time didn't register with me.
	11:32am Frank In Queens: It was the only football game I've watched all year. It was entertaining; a good game to watch even if you don't care for the sport. Halftime Show was definitely not my thing, but I don't know how anyone can say anything bad about it.
	11:32am yerfriendpaul: The Bills/Chiefs game should have been the Super Bowl. That was a great game
	11:32am Dano59: those lawsuits will keep Fake Beatles off the streaming services for some time
	11:32am Mister Dobalina: I shared this before, but recently found out that 25 years ago, the half time show was James Brown, ZZ Top & the Blues Brothers.
	11:32am clarke: both QB's were playing 'injured' as well.
	11:33am Handy Haversack: MS, after hearing them multiple times on the show, I finally picked up that album by Nuevo this last Bandcamp Friday -- I learn slow, but I get there! Really good stuff. It was a frustrating game in a lot of ways -- LA's continued insistence on running when it just wouldn't work was baffling. I guess watching Cinci's big weakest let them down when the stakes were highest was at least narratively fulfilling? And they'd kept Donald out up to then. Watching the best ever at his job win the game, though, that was pretty sweet.
	11:34am Joe B: re super bowl - maybe the thrill is gone now that sports gambling is legal.
	11:34am clarke: i will agree that ALL the playoff games were more exciting than the superbowl.
	11:34am Roger: Love this song. Don't know why. Is this the only version or has it been covered by others? Pretty sure I heard on your show before
	11:35am Gaylord Fields: We reached a settlement, and I’m allowed to refer to “Phake Beatles” (in print and, when spoken, pronounced with a “ph” sound).
	11:35am clarke: a cookie full of arsenic!
	11:35am Hughie Considine: From 500songs.com "Dylan joined Vee’s band for a short while under the stage name Elston Gunn, playing the piano, though he was apparently not very good (he could only play in C, according to some sources I’ve read), and he didn’t stay in Vee’s band very long. But while he was in Vee’s band, he would tell friends and relatives that he was Bobby Vee, and at least some people believed him."
	11:36am Handy Haversack: The good news: negative on the at-home COVID test! The bad news: We're getting so used to this that we don't even need to read the instructions anymore. Gaylord, that seems phair.
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm just shocked that individuals the size & character of human buffalo colliding with each @ full force turns out to actually be critically damaging to brains ...sportsball always implied evidence of brain damage as far as I've ever been concerned...
	11:36am gf2002: I think the game was good as a pure football game in large part due to the refs not throwing flags for the better part of 3 quarters. Did anyone else notice the flags started to fly in the final 5 minutes or so? I like football when the refs let them play and save the flags for blatant calls. It didn't feel right near the end to suddenly see penalty after penalty against the Bengals, although they did miss a huge call with the Bengals.
	11:36am Edward: Te Elston Gunnn (note the spelling--that's what he called himself) story is true. Bobby Vee said in an interview: "“Bill was blown away. ‘Man, how good can this be? This was as good as it gets!’ And went over to the radio station with him, over to KGFO, and there was this piano in the studio and auditioned him on the piano. He came back and he said, ‘He played pretty good in the key of C.’ We didn’t realise it at the time, but that’s all he could play in, was the key of C. I-IV-V in the key of C.”
	11:36am Joe B: High Coin - harper's bizarre also did it (maybe first??)
	11:36am PatrickMC: Best thing about Super Bowl was ad with McConaughey and Ray Conniff Singers version of Thus Sprach Zarahustra
	11:37am Dano59: which were the bleakest, @kotzwinkled? I hated on the ScarJo surveillance spot before Mark Hurst brought up its special egregiousness
	11:37am Gaylord Fields: @Handy: Funny you bring that up, because a similar lawsuit is why one particular musician is known as Liz Phair.
	11:39am Dano59: Phast Phive Phreddie up next
	11:39am Matty Magoo: The Ole’ B-bender!
	11:39am Kotzwinkled: @Dano idk I think they are all annoying in their own way, but all the crypto stuff is bleak in a different way. When even the product is offensively dumb, it's just tiring. Also hated that ScarJo ad since her husband was the dunce chastising New Yorkers for not wanting an Amazon plant in Queens.
	11:39am gf2002: @Joe B - "High Coin" by Harpers Bizarre came after Bobby Vee, the first release was Rick Jarrard just weeks before Vee's
	11:39am Matty Magoo: Dreamin of that setup 🤤
	11:40am howdy: Opens like Nashville West
	11:40am Dano59: Larry David's cutesy crypto ad was the one that made the highlights reels. Yikes. What a royal scam
	11:41am Michael Shelley: Larry's add was so well done -too bad it was for a product so dumb.... pretty, pretty dumb
	11:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Expectations rising: Dolly Parton appears. Expectations falling: Dolly is just there to hawk cell phones.
	11:42am clarke: i actually liked the austin powers sendup but not tell u what it was an ad for.
	11:42am Dano59: I will call him ... Baby Me Scott: no, it's Kyle!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just astonishing Gittar really.
	11:43am Dano59: I'm reading the Sprockets script right now. Trying to keep from snorting coffee out my nose
	11:43am clarke: real real nice!
	11:43am ?: Last Train to Clarksville
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just his tone - Country twang but rich & chiming. & the bending - almost a hybrid with a lap steel. Awed.
	11:45am Kitschy Mama: Love this Mary Jane Hooper!
	11:46am gf2002: That was some smokin' hot B-Bender playing! For some really crazy B-Bender work, Clarence White himself is playing that same guitar on Arlo's Comin' Into Los Angeles
	11:46am drr: The little animated football players ad was made by a company from here in New Orleans (hey clarke).
	11:46am drr: The one that said "Rest in Power, Meemaw!"
	11:46am clarke: hello david!
	11:48am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Joe, HP Ken, Clarke, Gaylord, Handy, Bark and Run Bagpipe, Frank, Jeff Currently From Florida, Baby, all!
	11:49am clarke: jackson!
	11:49am Miss Georgia Peach: Good morning! For a few more minutes, anyway
	11:50am Handy Haversack: Hey there, Jack!
	11:50am myron feld: The Laughing Dogs! Their "I Need A Million" is one of the better songs on Live at CBGB (there weren't that many)
	11:51am Frank In Queens: Hiya Jack!
	11:51am clarke: i can dig it.
	11:52am Joe B: I didn't know they had seats at that place
	11:52am clarke: on first listen will say good - but, it doesn't really sound "all together" (even before i knew this info)
	11:52am Frank In Queens: @Joe, I thought the same thing! We saw the Stray Cats there a few years ago and it was all GA.
	11:53am pp: Marty's bass player until recently was Paul Martin, who had been a replacement singer for the 70's band Exile
	11:53am clarke: and this song was my pick of the album, too.
	11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. Snow pants day!
	11:53am Joe B: @frank - great show!
	11:54am clarke: Jack - have you medalled yet?!? (tobaggan aside)
	11:55am phat in lincoln: I'm not sure if this sounds like it was recorded in different countries. But the vocal recording is pissing me off. Sounds like something is clipping and not in a good way.
	11:55am Frank In Queens: @Joe B, it was!
	11:56am Zephyr: That’s E.C.? Did he have an accident involving his testicles?
	11:56am Frank In Queens: @Zephyr, he's lost his timbre
	11:57am clarke: ha ha ha ha
	11:57am clarke: check the music room!!
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounded like EC's voice was treated somehow - sped up like they used to do or something ...but maybe that's his standard affectation ...I critique him as you can hear him writing self-consciously on his trax - then I hear that & wonder where the great lyrics are...
	11:58am clarke: the rest of the album elvis's voice is "normal" - yes, this was sped up probably
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @clarke, big news! All the stuff that was in there will be gone on Monday. Rented a car and doing a massive drop off at a local thrift store.
	11:59am phat in lincoln: Elvis speeding up his vocals is not at all uncommon.
	12:00pm clarke: actually "sped up" is not the correct wording - you actually slow down the track - sing - then bring it back to regular speed. @Frank - MOVIN'!!! (movin' sucks!!)
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Frank in Queens - I got out of a lifetime of U-Haul storage a week & 1/2 ago. Let's not even think about what that's cost... phat - no it isn't - & not even saying I don't like it...
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, movin' sucks. Clearing out space rules!
	12:01pm clarke: whoah - didn't know Grimes had passed - he sounded so 'with it', a few weeks ago??
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: Getting kicked out of the FM zone so K8 can warm up for her recording session today. Will continue with the Bluetoothery in the other room, if you'd care to join me ...
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: @Rev, yeah i can imagine. In my case, the stuff that's getting cleared out isn't even ours. It was my grandmother's who passed away 2 years ago. COVID has kinda delayed a lot of the cleanout of her space.
	12:02pm clarke: Handy's Wild Kingdom On The Move!!
	12:03pm Edward: Elvis was my favorite for a good long run. But I don't think there's any coming back for him, unless he gets a hit on the head or something and forgets everything he's "learned" in the last 30 years.
	12:04pm clarke: i am almost scared to come to the chat - because someone i know or like has passed on.
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Go K8 ! @clarke: So the Vocal is - sped up. But whatever... @Frank: Some of it was my Dad's who passed in 2005 that I latched onto - some of mine going back to childhood, some 18 years ago - madness ! Covid for me has meant (frankly) no income & Two Rents had to END.
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'varispeed' effects...
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: For reals, clarke! Goblin is playing keep-away with one toy -- from another toy! He has a ball in his mouth and is daring another ball to try to take it away. Growling, hissing, batting. He is a total weirdo.
	12:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wull name him 'Goblin' & see what happens :D ...
	12:05pm clarke: i hear what you are saying Edward, but there are some real gems in those 30 years, that i forget about too. for instance, the entire Look Now album is cool (as per Jimmy Wipper - wherever he may be).
	12:06pm Moammar: Sam and Sam and Dave and Dave
	12:06pm clarke: when someone says "sped up', i, more, think of, say, some chuck berry songs where the WHOLE song was sped up, changing the key, etc.
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: Fair, Rev Rab!
	12:07pm Frank In Queens: @Rev, it's amazing how much stuff we tend to accumulate in our lives, and I'm not even talking about physical media!
	12:07pm clarke: Mutual Of Omaha has the answer Handy!
	12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @clarke: An exposition of that would be interesting. Making the BeachBoys sound more adolescent & all of that...
	12:08pm Frank In Queens: Groovies!
	12:09pm clarke: YESSSS!
	12:10pm clarke: also, i am dealing with life's detritis RIGHT now, Frank!! but, taking a break, Here.
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, yeah it's a reckoning every time you have to move.
	12:11pm clarke: you got that right!
	12:11pm clarke: all self-inflicted on my behalf, tho.
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: Thankfully I don't have any plans to move for at least the next 20 years.
	12:12pm clarke: good 'move' frank!
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: Here here, Michael! I hate that term.
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...otoh - having the specific copies of Beatle LPs I grew up with in my mitts again has a surprisingly strong psychological effect...
	12:12pm clarke: retro-pigeonholing.
	12:14pm clarke: having stuff is great - until you have to move.
	12:15pm phat in lincoln: The original yacht rock shows were actually pretty funny.
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: Speaking of acquiring more and more stuff, the new GBV shipped this week.
	12:16pm Hoboken Jack: Frank, Joe, I was seated at the Stray Cats show, though I can't recall if it was ADA only.
	12:16pm clarke: and i have been pondering that, too, Frank
	12:16pm DJ Johnny Cool: John Paul Keith George Mick Ringo Charlie
	12:16pm clarke: i will just buy it at Euclid when i get to nola
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: Frank, we have a rent-stabilized apt. with a back yard. I don't intend to move until the books crush us and the cats eat us. After that, it's no longer up to me.
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like young Orbison to me. Which ain't half bad.
	12:18pm PaulRobeson1920: It’s True!
	12:18pm clarke: unless you are still alive whilst they are eating you, Handy.
	12:19pm Handy Haversack: At least I'll have something to read.
	12:19pm clarke: truth!
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: he was a winner who became a small cat's dinner he always meant a lot to me oh poor Hand-ee...
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, if I were you, I'd see about making arrangements for that apartment to be your final resting place as well.
	12:21pm clarke: wouldn't a bonfire canoe be a better one?
	12:21pm bobsmart567: This is the greatest funk riff ever
	12:21pm clarke: we's some morbid fucks.
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Strangers in a strange land.
	12:23pm Mike Sin: The Richard Marks track had my car doing a little funky dance in the post office parking lot.
	12:23pm Handy Haversack: Even from beyond the mortal veil, it will be all we can afford anyway.
	12:23pm clarke: keep them tires on the road, Mike!
	12:24pm Listener Baby: Richard Marks: Put a star by that one Baby. The Atlanta Durando! Maybe a premium CD. The Funk That Didn't Fly.
	12:24pm phat in lincoln: 500songs.com has totally given me even more appreciation of songs like "If You Wanna Be Happy". Also, now I know the lyrics, which I never actually paid attention to.
	12:24pm clarke: he's speakin' american again!! BABY!!
	12:25pm drr: One "Gone" per hour.
	12:25pm Hoboken Jack: EC's voice sounds weird here
	12:25pm Michael Shelley: PARDON ME FOR BRAGGING: Nick Lowe released a Valentine's Day Spotify playlist - it includes 19 of his favorite love songs... you know, Dylan, McCartney AND JUNIPER open.spotify.com...
	12:25pm phat in lincoln: And, those lyrics are questionable, of course.
	12:26pm clarke: no brag - jus' fact!
	12:26pm phat in lincoln: @phat in lincoln that is so awesome
	12:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Your records, tapes, CDs & canoes become property of WFMU upon your demise, Handy?
	12:26pm Moammar: Go, Juniper! She pick a college yet?
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Juniper 👏
	12:26pm phat in lincoln: @Hoboken Jack that's what I thought!
	12:26pm Hoboken Jack: Holy moly, congrats JUNIPER!!!!! That's it, I'm buying an 800: dollar ticket for Pier 17!
	12:27pm Montmaster J: @MS....wow that's great re: Juniper! Congratulations!
	12:29pm clarke: GET A NEW DJ!!!
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: Brag away, Michael! Well deserved!
	12:29pm egould310: Masterful placement of bongo feet.
	12:29pm Listener Baby: I hope that part comes around again. That was nailage!!
	12:29pm Aaron in Minneapolis: @12:26, actually Ken, Handy has (kinda not) agreed to hand over his collection to me when he bites the dust.
	12:30pm Hoboken Jack: Wait a minute, I thought Juniper removed her songs from Spotify
	12:31pm clarke: they don't call 'im Nick The Knife for no reason.
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: Aaron, maybe winning what's left of my legacy can be a Seven Second Delay call-in contest. Andy plays for the station.
	12:32pm Aaron in Minneapolis: NOPE WE (DIDN"T) AGREE TO GIVE EVERYTHING TO ME
	12:32pm gf2002: The Folsom live performance blows this one away
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not exactly investing in your own life insurance...
	12:33pm Moammar: Is this the best murder song? Maybe "Knoxville Girl"?
	12:34pm clarke: definitely Perkins on the Folsom show
	12:34pm PTC: The new Johnny Cash record was recorded by Grateful Dead soundman Owsley Stanley
	12:35pm Bill C: Michael, I’m a recent listener to your show. I think it’s excellent. Thank you for such a pleasant and interesting show.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: Not sure how I have not already clicky-starred this one ...
	12:35pm gf2002: Shuggie's version is the definitive one, and one of my favorite records of all time...thanks for playing this! Quincy had to call Lee Ritenour into the sessions for the Brothers Johnson version because no one could nail Shuggie's original guitar parts in that amazing outro. This record is perfection.
	12:36pm McGroovey: Strawberry Letter 23: Not sure I've heard this song since it was on top-40 radio in the seventies.
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: THANKS BILL C & WELCOME!
	12:39pm Listener John from NJ: Hurrah! I made it to the program . . . Now I have almost 2 hours to dig some cool songs.
	12:39pm Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. One of my very favorite 70’s singles. Was a mind-blower to have discovered after loving the Bros Johnson hit as a kid that there was this amazing prodigy named Shuggie Otis. Think I read somewhere fairly recently that he also played a bit with Zappa, on Peaches In Regalia or something, on bass. Played everything. Profoundly great artist.
	12:39pm egould310: Getting trippy in this set.
	12:39pm phat in lincoln: @gf2002 and a fantastic list of players!
	12:40pm McGroovey: Sam Elwitt: this sounds to me like a cross between the Bee Gees and early King Crimson, with umm Sam Elwitt on lead vocal.
	12:40pm phat in lincoln: @Zinn The Mood his dad is a legend, Johnny Otis (who is on that Shuggie record).
	12:41pm Tim from LH: Any more Super Hits collections coming in the future?
	12:41pm myron feld: @Moammar: my favorite murder song is J. Paycheck's "(Pardon Me) I've Got Someone To Kill." It's so matter of fact.
	12:41pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Tim, McGroove
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This 'I Can't Tell' not only tackles Hollies harmonies - but does what I always imagine: Rawking a great GittarPop tune up a bit more ...in my head, the early Who cover everything & on a good day too...
	12:42pm McGroovey: Hey
	12:42pm Moammar: Oh, that's a good one. And "Psycho" is fine, of course. But it lacks that folkloric quality. That Appalachian-gothic feeling of the Louvins.
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: How goes, McGroovey? K8 and crew have that lathe-press session today.
	12:43pm Tim from LH: Hey, Jack!
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MurderBallads seem to routinely skip the Motivation ...'& then he chopped her up & threw her in a river' ...because ??
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab, standard "she was provokin' me!" defense, I'd imagine.
	12:46pm Moammar: That lack of motivation is what makes them so compelling. Same thing with a lot of Shakespeare. The protagonists mistify us because it's not clear what drives them. (I was an English major with a B average.)
	12:47pm Hubig Pie: Well. my woman wuz bein' 'devil-ish' , ya know
	12:48pm Michael Shelley: Tim from LH: 20% chance
	12:48pm McGroovey: Public declaration: I'm disappointed that i missed out on tickets to the Linda Lindas at the Mercury Lounge. My 15-about-to-be-16-year-old daughter wanted to go. They're also opening for 4 nights at Irving Plaza for Jawbreaker. I'm reluctant the spend so much money for a show where I only care about the opener. I didn't know anyone cared so much about Jawbreaker. Did they sell any records (well, CDs) for more than 50¢ in cutout bins? I'm mean.
	12:48pm clarke: RIP Sandy Nelson! (didn't know that either)
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: Moammar- she's still a jr. - so a while to go...
	12:49pm P-90: rip. Always loved this version.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: Are those the same Jawbreaker shows that Worriers are playing? Had the same feeling -- I want to see Worriers but don't want to spend that $ on Jawbreaker. We can't get tix to Mercury Lounge except day-of since they deliver them ONLY through an app. Sucks.
	12:52pm Tim from LH: I could listen to instrumental hits of the 60’s for days! RIP Sandy Nelson!
	12:52pm Kotzwinkled: Hell yeah just renewed Swag for coasters. It's all happening!
	12:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: I think it is (or soon will be) possible to run Android apps on a Windows 11 computer. I suspect there is some kind of a catch, though.
	12:53pm clarke: hmm. i've lost the music portion of the stream
	12:54pm clarke: but am still able to write here.
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: It cut out for me put then came back at a lower volume than before.
	12:54pm JR: Are your streams working? I get: HTTP error 404 File Not Found Failed to open http://stream0.wfmu.org/freeform-32k
	12:54pm phat in lincoln: @Michael Shelley if you do another Super Hits I want on that! I'll get Courtneynoir on drums.
	12:55pm clarke: so it's not just me.
	12:55pm Silvia: My stream stop working noooo
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: I'm streaming through iTunes and everything is fine except for the volume thing.
	12:56pm phat in lincoln: I think my stream got quieter, but it could just be the record.
	12:56pm Doug in JC: My stream got very quiet too
	12:56pm Dennis Diken: Bah, couldn’t tune in today, looks like I missed a good one. Will check the archives. Long live Sandy Nelson!

	11:11am Handy Haversack: Joe B! I went to Milano's yesterday. They had just run out of eggplant, so I didn't get a sandwich -- but they did not Belock Scott W's!
	11:11am clarke: i met Dallas Goode at Mermaid Lounge - so that is a long time ago (i'm bad with years, etc). such a goode dude. RIP.
	11:11am drr: this Z.Z. Hill is new to me; good one!
	11:11am Hughie Considine: Aw man, I discovered ZZ Hill on this program and I sure love 'em.
	11:12am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Good morning Michael! Tuning in from poolside in sunny Florida today ☀️
	11:14am dano59: Saw Dallas & Travis Good several times, in Toronto & NYC. Once at the Mercury Lounge they wore matching Nudie-ish “suits” that looked like cowboy pajamas; Kelly Hogan told me Dallas sewed them himself
	11:15am Joe B: @handy - maybe it's just me they are trolling!
	11:16am Montmaster J: and the cousin of George Clooney I think
	11:16am clarke: dano - you just reminded me that (i think) The Sadies were opening for Kelly Hogan at the Mermaid Lounge.
	11:16am dale: he was on crossing jordan. and in the first robocop movie.
	11:17am Dano59: could be, clarke! This was a CMJ '98 Bloodshot showcase with the Blacks and Jon Langford; Kelly was the label's publicist at the time
	11:17am Frank In Queens: Miguel Ferrer's most notable roles were Agent Albert Rosenfield in Twin Peaks and Bob Morton in Robocop.
	11:17am Joe B: @handy - was that your first time back at the station since before omicron?
	11:17am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Bring on the hits!
	11:17am andy fuchs: well, THIS isn't awful....wow....embarrassing. Even legends can falter...
	11:18am Dano59: also Split Lip Rayfield, with the bass made from a Ford F-150 gas tank.
	11:18am Joe B: @dano - wow, the Blacks. i loved them. I saw whatever their next band was but then I lost them off my radar
	11:18am Handy Haversack: More research is clearly needed, Joe B! Yes, first time back since Omicron. It was great. I was still seeing yellow from the T-shirts as I was going to sleep last night! We also set up the phones for Marathon. Really nice to be back there. And I got to have lunch with ALL FOUR DOGS. That was a thrill! Two Sides of the Moon -- Flat Mooners??!
	11:19am Dano59: 'Tortured Holiday' is still a fave, @Joe B. They covered Back to Black sometime in the last decade...
	11:19am Kotzwinkled: @Dano Split Lip! Perhaps the greatest band of all time.
	11:20am gf2002: Keith was a massive Beach Boys fan - Those photos of his birthday party where he got Redford's "Sting" suit as a gift also show Brian Wilson there in his bathrobe. The Hollywood Vampyres! I think they were trying to get a guide vocal for Keith's range which is why John S did that rough guide.
	11:20am Dano59: I dunno bout that, @kw. But fun regardless
	11:20am Dano59: Two Sides is a lotta fun, the banter with Ringo etc.
	11:20am Kotzwinkled: @Dano I may be biased. Checking in from Lawrence, KS.
	11:21am Peter Horvath: October Country! Yes!
	11:21am Joe B: @handy - great news! I guess the not so great news is we are moving into studio B starting monday
	11:22am gf2002: Interesting point - Lennon wasn't at Keith's birthday party with his other "Lost Weekend" cohorts because he was back in New York that week...and that weekend was when Lennon said he saw a UFO hovering above NYC.
	11:22am clarke: yes - this is smashing!
	11:22am Dano59: I lost my jack o'lantern icon so I guess I gotta pledge again soon
	11:22am PatrickMC: Now the sun shines. SDQ
	11:23am clarke: but isn't it I WISH I Was A Fire?
	11:24am Handy Haversack: The dump button at the MC station works, Joe -- Scott made sure! Sir Doug!
	11:25am clarke: this pre-dates Mendocino, i assume??
	11:25am Joe B: after mendocino
	11:26am clarke: wow
	11:26am clarke: an actual digression sorta
	11:27am Dano59: that You Only Live Twice lick was sweet.
	11:28am Dano59: Michael, this could be one of yours!
	11:28am Joe B: @dano - was thinking the same thing!
	11:29am clarke: wavin' the f'n gun around!!!
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Morning ! So glad to have stolen gym WiFis to be here...
	11:30am Dano59: I think the term originated with the generation who got The Beetle Beat by The Buggs for Christmas in 1965
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that it gets to were the phrase FakeBeatles gets litigious...
	11:31am Kotzwinkled: The Super Bowl ads were certainly the bleakest in history imo. Dark stuff.
	11:32am Montmaster J: agree re: super bowl....we had good chili though.
	11:32am clarke: it was a good game, but you have to know defense to appreciate it. half-time didn't register with me.
	11:32am Frank In Queens: It was the only football game I've watched all year. It was entertaining; a good game to watch even if you don't care for the sport. Halftime Show was definitely not my thing, but I don't know how anyone can say anything bad about it.
	11:32am yerfriendpaul: The Bills/Chiefs game should have been the Super Bowl. That was a great game
	11:32am Dano59: those lawsuits will keep Fake Beatles off the streaming services for some time
	11:32am Mister Dobalina: I shared this before, but recently found out that 25 years ago, the half time show was James Brown, ZZ Top & the Blues Brothers.
	11:32am clarke: both QB's were playing 'injured' as well.
	11:33am Handy Haversack: MS, after hearing them multiple times on the show, I finally picked up that album by Nuevo this last Bandcamp Friday -- I learn slow, but I get there! Really good stuff. It was a frustrating game in a lot of ways -- LA's continued insistence on running when it just wouldn't work was baffling. I guess watching Cinci's big weakest let them down when the stakes were highest was at least narratively fulfilling? And they'd kept Donald out up to then. Watching the best ever at his job win the game, though, that was pretty sweet.
	11:34am Joe B: re super bowl - maybe the thrill is gone now that sports gambling is legal.
	11:34am clarke: i will agree that ALL the playoff games were more exciting than the superbowl.
	11:34am Roger: Love this song. Don't know why. Is this the only version or has it been covered by others? Pretty sure I heard on your show before
	11:35am Gaylord Fields: We reached a settlement, and I’m allowed to refer to “Phake Beatles” (in print and, when spoken, pronounced with a “ph” sound).
	11:35am clarke: a cookie full of arsenic!
	11:35am Hughie Considine: From 500songs.com "Dylan joined Vee’s band for a short while under the stage name Elston Gunn, playing the piano, though he was apparently not very good (he could only play in C, according to some sources I’ve read), and he didn’t stay in Vee’s band very long. But while he was in Vee’s band, he would tell friends and relatives that he was Bobby Vee, and at least some people believed him."
	11:36am Handy Haversack: The good news: negative on the at-home COVID test! The bad news: We're getting so used to this that we don't even need to read the instructions anymore. Gaylord, that seems phair.
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm just shocked that individuals the size & character of human buffalo colliding with each @ full force turns out to actually be critically damaging to brains ...sportsball always implied evidence of brain damage as far as I've ever been concerned...
	11:36am gf2002: I think the game was good as a pure football game in large part due to the refs not throwing flags for the better part of 3 quarters. Did anyone else notice the flags started to fly in the final 5 minutes or so? I like football when the refs let them play and save the flags for blatant calls. It didn't feel right near the end to suddenly see penalty after penalty against the Bengals, although they did miss a huge call with the Bengals.
	11:36am Edward: Te Elston Gunnn (note the spelling--that's what he called himself) story is true. Bobby Vee said in an interview: "“Bill was blown away. ‘Man, how good can this be? This was as good as it gets!’ And went over to the radio station with him, over to KGFO, and there was this piano in the studio and auditioned him on the piano. He came back and he said, ‘He played pretty good in the key of C.’ We didn’t realise it at the time, but that’s all he could play in, was the key of C. I-IV-V in the key of C.”
	11:36am Joe B: High Coin - harper's bizarre also did it (maybe first??)
	11:36am PatrickMC: Best thing about Super Bowl was ad with McConaughey and Ray Conniff Singers version of Thus Sprach Zarahustra
	11:37am Dano59: which were the bleakest, @kotzwinkled? I hated on the ScarJo surveillance spot before Mark Hurst brought up its special egregiousness
	11:37am Gaylord Fields: @Handy: Funny you bring that up, because a similar lawsuit is why one particular musician is known as Liz Phair.
	11:39am Dano59: Phast Phive Phreddie up next
	11:39am Matty Magoo: The Ole’ B-bender!
	11:39am Kotzwinkled: @Dano idk I think they are all annoying in their own way, but all the crypto stuff is bleak in a different way. When even the product is offensively dumb, it's just tiring. Also hated that ScarJo ad since her husband was the dunce chastising New Yorkers for not wanting an Amazon plant in Queens.
	11:39am gf2002: @Joe B - "High Coin" by Harpers Bizarre came after Bobby Vee, the first release was Rick Jarrard just weeks before Vee's
	11:39am Matty Magoo: Dreamin of that setup 🤤
	11:40am howdy: Opens like Nashville West
	11:40am Dano59: Larry David's cutesy crypto ad was the one that made the highlights reels. Yikes. What a royal scam
	11:41am Michael Shelley: Larry's add was so well done -too bad it was for a product so dumb.... pretty, pretty dumb
	11:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Expectations rising: Dolly Parton appears. Expectations falling: Dolly is just there to hawk cell phones.
	11:42am clarke: i actually liked the austin powers sendup but not tell u what it was an ad for.
	11:42am Dano59: I will call him ... Baby Me Scott: no, it's Kyle!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just astonishing Gittar really.
	11:43am Dano59: I'm reading the Sprockets script right now. Trying to keep from snorting coffee out my nose
	11:43am clarke: real real nice!
	11:43am ?: Last Train to Clarksville
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just his tone - Country twang but rich & chiming. & the bending - almost a hybrid with a lap steel. Awed.
	11:45am Kitschy Mama: Love this Mary Jane Hooper!
	11:46am gf2002: That was some smokin' hot B-Bender playing! For some really crazy B-Bender work, Clarence White himself is playing that same guitar on Arlo's Comin' Into Los Angeles
	11:46am drr: The little animated football players ad was made by a company from here in New Orleans (hey clarke).
	11:46am drr: The one that said "Rest in Power, Meemaw!"
	11:46am clarke: hello david!
	11:48am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Joe, HP Ken, Clarke, Gaylord, Handy, Bark and Run Bagpipe, Frank, Jeff Currently From Florida, Baby, all!
	11:49am clarke: jackson!
	11:49am Miss Georgia Peach: Good morning! For a few more minutes, anyway
	11:50am Handy Haversack: Hey there, Jack!
	11:50am myron feld: The Laughing Dogs! Their "I Need A Million" is one of the better songs on Live at CBGB (there weren't that many)
	11:51am Frank In Queens: Hiya Jack!
	11:51am clarke: i can dig it.
	11:52am Joe B: I didn't know they had seats at that place
	11:52am clarke: on first listen will say good - but, it doesn't really sound "all together" (even before i knew this info)
	11:52am Frank In Queens: @Joe, I thought the same thing! We saw the Stray Cats there a few years ago and it was all GA.
	11:53am pp: Marty's bass player until recently was Paul Martin, who had been a replacement singer for the 70's band Exile
	11:53am clarke: and this song was my pick of the album, too.
	11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. Snow pants day!
	11:53am Joe B: @frank - great show!
	11:54am clarke: Jack - have you medalled yet?!? (tobaggan aside)
	11:55am phat in lincoln: I'm not sure if this sounds like it was recorded in different countries. But the vocal recording is pissing me off. Sounds like something is clipping and not in a good way.
	11:55am Frank In Queens: @Joe B, it was!
	11:56am Zephyr: That’s E.C.? Did he have an accident involving his testicles?
	11:56am Frank In Queens: @Zephyr, he's lost his timbre
	11:57am clarke: ha ha ha ha
	11:57am clarke: check the music room!!
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounded like EC's voice was treated somehow - sped up like they used to do or something ...but maybe that's his standard affectation ...I critique him as you can hear him writing self-consciously on his trax - then I hear that & wonder where the great lyrics are...
	11:58am clarke: the rest of the album elvis's voice is "normal" - yes, this was sped up probably
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @clarke, big news! All the stuff that was in there will be gone on Monday. Rented a car and doing a massive drop off at a local thrift store.
	11:59am phat in lincoln: Elvis speeding up his vocals is not at all uncommon.
	12:00pm clarke: actually "sped up" is not the correct wording - you actually slow down the track - sing - then bring it back to regular speed. @Frank - MOVIN'!!! (movin' sucks!!)
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Frank in Queens - I got out of a lifetime of U-Haul storage a week & 1/2 ago. Let's not even think about what that's cost... phat - no it isn't - & not even saying I don't like it...
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, movin' sucks. Clearing out space rules!
	12:01pm clarke: whoah - didn't know Grimes had passed - he sounded so 'with it', a few weeks ago??
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: Getting kicked out of the FM zone so K8 can warm up for her recording session today. Will continue with the Bluetoothery in the other room, if you'd care to join me ...
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: @Rev, yeah i can imagine. In my case, the stuff that's getting cleared out isn't even ours. It was my grandmother's who passed away 2 years ago. COVID has kinda delayed a lot of the cleanout of her space.
	12:02pm clarke: Handy's Wild Kingdom On The Move!!
	12:03pm Edward: Elvis was my favorite for a good long run. But I don't think there's any coming back for him, unless he gets a hit on the head or something and forgets everything he's "learned" in the last 30 years.
	12:04pm clarke: i am almost scared to come to the chat - because someone i know or like has passed on.
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Go K8 ! @clarke: So the Vocal is - sped up. But whatever... @Frank: Some of it was my Dad's who passed in 2005 that I latched onto - some of mine going back to childhood, some 18 years ago - madness ! Covid for me has meant (frankly) no income & Two Rents had to END.
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'varispeed' effects...
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: For reals, clarke! Goblin is playing keep-away with one toy -- from another toy! He has a ball in his mouth and is daring another ball to try to take it away. Growling, hissing, batting. He is a total weirdo.
	12:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wull name him 'Goblin' & see what happens :D ...
	12:05pm clarke: i hear what you are saying Edward, but there are some real gems in those 30 years, that i forget about too. for instance, the entire Look Now album is cool (as per Jimmy Wipper - wherever he may be).
	12:06pm Moammar: Sam and Sam and Dave and Dave
	12:06pm clarke: when someone says "sped up', i, more, think of, say, some chuck berry songs where the WHOLE song was sped up, changing the key, etc.
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: Fair, Rev Rab!
	12:07pm Frank In Queens: @Rev, it's amazing how much stuff we tend to accumulate in our lives, and I'm not even talking about physical media!
	12:07pm clarke: Mutual Of Omaha has the answer Handy!
	12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @clarke: An exposition of that would be interesting. Making the BeachBoys sound more adolescent & all of that...
	12:08pm Frank In Queens: Groovies!
	12:09pm clarke: YESSSS!
	12:10pm clarke: also, i am dealing with life's detritis RIGHT now, Frank!! but, taking a break, Here.
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, yeah it's a reckoning every time you have to move.
	12:11pm clarke: you got that right!
	12:11pm clarke: all self-inflicted on my behalf, tho.
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: Thankfully I don't have any plans to move for at least the next 20 years.
	12:12pm clarke: good 'move' frank!
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: Here here, Michael! I hate that term.
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...otoh - having the specific copies of Beatle LPs I grew up with in my mitts again has a surprisingly strong psychological effect...
	12:12pm clarke: retro-pigeonholing.
	12:14pm clarke: having stuff is great - until you have to move.
	12:15pm phat in lincoln: The original yacht rock shows were actually pretty funny.
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: Speaking of acquiring more and more stuff, the new GBV shipped this week.
	12:16pm Hoboken Jack: Frank, Joe, I was seated at the Stray Cats show, though I can't recall if it was ADA only.
	12:16pm clarke: and i have been pondering that, too, Frank
	12:16pm DJ Johnny Cool: John Paul Keith George Mick Ringo Charlie
	12:16pm clarke: i will just buy it at Euclid when i get to nola
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: Frank, we have a rent-stabilized apt. with a back yard. I don't intend to move until the books crush us and the cats eat us. After that, it's no longer up to me.
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like young Orbison to me. Which ain't half bad.
	12:18pm PaulRobeson1920: It’s True!
	12:18pm clarke: unless you are still alive whilst they are eating you, Handy.
	12:19pm Handy Haversack: At least I'll have something to read.
	12:19pm clarke: truth!
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: he was a winner who became a small cat's dinner he always meant a lot to me oh poor Hand-ee...
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, if I were you, I'd see about making arrangements for that apartment to be your final resting place as well.
	12:21pm clarke: wouldn't a bonfire canoe be a better one?
	12:21pm bobsmart567: This is the greatest funk riff ever
	12:21pm clarke: we's some morbid fucks.
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Strangers in a strange land.
	12:23pm Mike Sin: The Richard Marks track had my car doing a little funky dance in the post office parking lot.
	12:23pm Handy Haversack: Even from beyond the mortal veil, it will be all we can afford anyway.
	12:23pm clarke: keep them tires on the road, Mike!
	12:24pm Listener Baby: Richard Marks: Put a star by that one Baby. The Atlanta Durando! Maybe a premium CD. The Funk That Didn't Fly.
	12:24pm phat in lincoln: 500songs.com has totally given me even more appreciation of songs like "If You Wanna Be Happy". Also, now I know the lyrics, which I never actually paid attention to.
	12:24pm clarke: he's speakin' american again!! BABY!!
	12:25pm drr: One "Gone" per hour.
	12:25pm Hoboken Jack: EC's voice sounds weird here
	12:25pm Michael Shelley: PARDON ME FOR BRAGGING: Nick Lowe released a Valentine's Day Spotify playlist - it includes 19 of his favorite love songs... you know, Dylan, McCartney AND JUNIPER open.spotify.com...
	12:25pm phat in lincoln: And, those lyrics are questionable, of course.
	12:26pm clarke: no brag - jus' fact!
	12:26pm phat in lincoln: @phat in lincoln that is so awesome
	12:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Your records, tapes, CDs & canoes become property of WFMU upon your demise, Handy?
	12:26pm Moammar: Go, Juniper! She pick a college yet?
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Juniper 👏
	12:26pm phat in lincoln: @Hoboken Jack that's what I thought!
	12:26pm Hoboken Jack: Holy moly, congrats JUNIPER!!!!! That's it, I'm buying an 800: dollar ticket for Pier 17!
	12:27pm Montmaster J: @MS....wow that's great re: Juniper! Congratulations!
	12:29pm clarke: GET A NEW DJ!!!
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: Brag away, Michael! Well deserved!
	12:29pm egould310: Masterful placement of bongo feet.
	12:29pm Listener Baby: I hope that part comes around again. That was nailage!!
	12:29pm Aaron in Minneapolis: @12:26, actually Ken, Handy has (kinda not) agreed to hand over his collection to me when he bites the dust.
	12:30pm Hoboken Jack: Wait a minute, I thought Juniper removed her songs from Spotify
	12:31pm clarke: they don't call 'im Nick The Knife for no reason.
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: Aaron, maybe winning what's left of my legacy can be a Seven Second Delay call-in contest. Andy plays for the station.
	12:32pm Aaron in Minneapolis: NOPE WE (DIDN"T) AGREE TO GIVE EVERYTHING TO ME
	12:32pm gf2002: The Folsom live performance blows this one away
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not exactly investing in your own life insurance...
	12:33pm Moammar: Is this the best murder song? Maybe "Knoxville Girl"?
	12:34pm clarke: definitely Perkins on the Folsom show
	12:34pm PTC: The new Johnny Cash record was recorded by Grateful Dead soundman Owsley Stanley
	12:35pm Bill C: Michael, I’m a recent listener to your show. I think it’s excellent. Thank you for such a pleasant and interesting show.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: Not sure how I have not already clicky-starred this one ...
	12:35pm gf2002: Shuggie's version is the definitive one, and one of my favorite records of all time...thanks for playing this! Quincy had to call Lee Ritenour into the sessions for the Brothers Johnson version because no one could nail Shuggie's original guitar parts in that amazing outro. This record is perfection.
	12:36pm McGroovey: Strawberry Letter 23: Not sure I've heard this song since it was on top-40 radio in the seventies.
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: THANKS BILL C & WELCOME!
	12:39pm Listener John from NJ: Hurrah! I made it to the program . . . Now I have almost 2 hours to dig some cool songs.
	12:39pm Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. One of my very favorite 70’s singles. Was a mind-blower to have discovered after loving the Bros Johnson hit as a kid that there was this amazing prodigy named Shuggie Otis. Think I read somewhere fairly recently that he also played a bit with Zappa, on Peaches In Regalia or something, on bass. Played everything. Profoundly great artist.
	12:39pm egould310: Getting trippy in this set.
	12:39pm phat in lincoln: @gf2002 and a fantastic list of players!
	12:40pm McGroovey: Sam Elwitt: this sounds to me like a cross between the Bee Gees and early King Crimson, with umm Sam Elwitt on lead vocal.
	12:40pm phat in lincoln: @Zinn The Mood his dad is a legend, Johnny Otis (who is on that Shuggie record).
	12:41pm Tim from LH: Any more Super Hits collections coming in the future?
	12:41pm myron feld: @Moammar: my favorite murder song is J. Paycheck's "(Pardon Me) I've Got Someone To Kill." It's so matter of fact.
	12:41pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Tim, McGroove
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This 'I Can't Tell' not only tackles Hollies harmonies - but does what I always imagine: Rawking a great GittarPop tune up a bit more ...in my head, the early Who cover everything & on a good day too...
	12:42pm McGroovey: Hey
	12:42pm Moammar: Oh, that's a good one. And "Psycho" is fine, of course. But it lacks that folkloric quality. That Appalachian-gothic feeling of the Louvins.
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: How goes, McGroovey? K8 and crew have that lathe-press session today.
	12:43pm Tim from LH: Hey, Jack!
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MurderBallads seem to routinely skip the Motivation ...'& then he chopped her up & threw her in a river' ...because ??
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab, standard "she was provokin' me!" defense, I'd imagine.
	12:46pm Moammar: That lack of motivation is what makes them so compelling. Same thing with a lot of Shakespeare. The protagonists mistify us because it's not clear what drives them. (I was an English major with a B average.)
	12:47pm Hubig Pie: Well. my woman wuz bein' 'devil-ish' , ya know
	12:48pm Michael Shelley: Tim from LH: 20% chance
	12:48pm McGroovey: Public declaration: I'm disappointed that i missed out on tickets to the Linda Lindas at the Mercury Lounge. My 15-about-to-be-16-year-old daughter wanted to go. They're also opening for 4 nights at Irving Plaza for Jawbreaker. I'm reluctant the spend so much money for a show where I only care about the opener. I didn't know anyone cared so much about Jawbreaker. Did they sell any records (well, CDs) for more than 50¢ in cutout bins? I'm mean.
	12:48pm clarke: RIP Sandy Nelson! (didn't know that either)
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: Moammar- she's still a jr. - so a while to go...
	12:49pm P-90: rip. Always loved this version.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: Are those the same Jawbreaker shows that Worriers are playing? Had the same feeling -- I want to see Worriers but don't want to spend that $ on Jawbreaker. We can't get tix to Mercury Lounge except day-of since they deliver them ONLY through an app. Sucks.
	12:52pm Tim from LH: I could listen to instrumental hits of the 60’s for days! RIP Sandy Nelson!
	12:52pm Kotzwinkled: Hell yeah just renewed Swag for coasters. It's all happening!
	12:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: I think it is (or soon will be) possible to run Android apps on a Windows 11 computer. I suspect there is some kind of a catch, though.
	12:53pm clarke: hmm. i've lost the music portion of the stream
	12:54pm clarke: but am still able to write here.
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: It cut out for me put then came back at a lower volume than before.
	12:54pm JR: Are your streams working? I get: HTTP error 404 File Not Found Failed to open http://stream0.wfmu.org/freeform-32k
	12:54pm phat in lincoln: @Michael Shelley if you do another Super Hits I want on that! I'll get Courtneynoir on drums.
	12:55pm clarke: so it's not just me.
	12:55pm Silvia: My stream stop working noooo
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: I'm streaming through iTunes and everything is fine except for the volume thing.
	12:56pm phat in lincoln: I think my stream got quieter, but it could just be the record.
	12:56pm Doug in JC: My stream got very quiet too
	12:56pm Dennis Diken: Bah, couldn’t tune in today, looks like I missed a good one. Will check the archives. Long live Sandy Nelson!
	12:56pm Mister Dobalina: These hot tunes broke the internet.
	12:56pm Hubig Pie: Pop-up no worky, app no worky, nuttin' no worky
	12:57pm clarke: the Beat goes ON, Denny!!
	12:57pm drr: I have the AAC stream going fine.
	12:57pm P-90: Is Sandy Nelson on “Scooby”?
	12:57pm P-90: oh.
	12:58pm egould310: Good show Michael. Solid closing on Scooby Doo.
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Same, volume-wise. Thanks, Michael! See youse all later.
	12:58pm phat in lincoln: Larry Marks! I never thought i needed to know who that was.
	12:58pm Baby: Baby! You rule!
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Fun show Michael!
	12:58pm Doug in JC: Alright, the mp3 link is bad. Use this: stream0.wfmu.org...
	12:59pm JR: Right, http://stream0.wfmu.org/freeform-high.aac is working
	12:59pm clarke: ah ha ha!!! we're back and good nite.
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They hung Mussolini upside-down in public ...just sayin'.
	1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
