Listener comments!
	10:08am ListenerO Baby: What I wouldn’t give for two hours of #1 Hits.
	10:32am Michael Shelley: Baby, I left my glasses at home.Gonna be a weird show... my eyes are going crazy.
	10:38am Listener Baby: You can’t see… so good? PS. Reminding you about your safe.
	10:40am Listener Baby: At least your brought an apple?
	10:42am Michael Shelley: Gala Apple. ps = they blowed the safe wide open!
	10:47am Listener Baby: They did. They did, indeed. Have a great time, Baby. I’ll be app-side.
	10:51am HyperDose: My, what a thick condensation absorbing set of coasters. Go Squints! 👓
	10:55am Eddy in Australia: Had a bad week. Cheer me up, Mr. DJ. Unleash those No.1 hits ...
	11:00am Squints: ok then. heyHEYhey now. Hey, I recoginate those coasters.
	11:01am Squints: Yeah, gotta keep that condensation away from the keyboard. When they're $300/pop it ill-behooves me to be Shiva, destroyer thereof. Not on my dime but I do get harrumphed at.
	11:02am Peter Horvath: Hey Michael, hey other folks. Happy Saturday
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in & out of style but guaranteed to raise a smile - #1 time.
	11:03am Baja Joe: Mike!
	11:03am PuraVida: Turning off my stream of last night's Dead & Company show here in Boulder now. Good morning Michael, everyone...
	11:03am Listener Baby: @Eddy. Gonna be okay, brother.
	11:04am Squints: This Rami is pretty powpowpow.
	11:04am Brisket: Good morning . You know your're getting old when you need glasses to find your glasses DJ Michael Shelley.
	11:04am Bob: Good morning from Ann Arborish. I've been listening to these UK Bubblerock comps. How did I not know about these?
	11:05am Eddy in Australia: Thanks, Baby. A glass of wine would help!
	11:06am Listener Baby: I can help. But you live in a pretty good part of the world for such.
	11:07am Frank In Queens: Oh, HEY NOW!
	11:07am Squints: This might sound stupid, but I could hear Lesley Gore covering this Kinks number. Or maybe some girl group.
	11:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Michael & all!
	11:08am clarke: hey hey now NOW
	11:08am HyperDose: Josie and the Pussycats would crush this
	11:08am James in ATL: I love the Purple Wizard cover of this song! No bad versions.
	11:08am Frank In Queens: Eddy, clarke, saw Tim and the boys last night at TV Eye!
	11:09am Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! Long week, so looking forward to some #1’s to help put it behind me.
	11:09am Squints: Hyperdose, <charlie brown shout voice>, THAT'S IT.
	11:09am clarke: o WOW -- UMI?? awesome!!
	11:09am Eddy in Australia: @Frank How was it? Did you see the Central Park show?
	11:09am Eddy in Australia: Hey Clarke!
	11:10am clarke: i am assuming they were killer???
	11:10am paul: Happy 80th birthday to Sir Paul McCartney!
	11:10am PTC: Thought I was the only Michael fan who streamed last night’s Dead & Company show.
	11:10am clarke: 'allo Edward!! Hi Naybor Squints~
	11:11am PuraVida: @PTC I live in Boulder
	11:12am clarke: my eyes don't see so good!
	11:12am Squints: They say it's his birthday.
	11:13am Listener Baby: Somebody should give you a set of emergency glasses that could have with you at all times. Something small, compact, that might fit on a phone case. No?
	11:14am PuraVida: Sir Paul, inspiration for naming of the Ramones. 'Douglas Couvin inspired by McCartney’s pseudonym Paul Ramon started calling himself Dee Dee Ramone. Dee Dee then came up with the idea of naming the new band the Ramones & convinced the other members of the band to start using Ramone as their last name.'
	11:14am Pedro in Arlington: Sorry you can't read this Mike but you're still the world's No. 1 deejay.
	11:14am Frank In Queens: Eddy, clarke, yes they were fantastic. Great set list too. Nice mix of old and new. The Central Park show is tonight, but we're going to see Exbats tonight.
	11:15am Mister Dobalina: Cumbia...maybe Peruvian? Me no know.
	11:15am clarke: man, would love to catch a show of theirs! any idea about what the 'tour' looks like?
	11:15am Squints: Seeing Phil Lesh & Friends closing Day 2 of Levitate festival up this way 7/9. I'm actually more excited about The Elovators and Durand Jones & the Indications.
	11:16am Greg g: HANG IN THERE MICHAEL! SOUNDING GREAT AS ALWAYS ( NOT YELLING, JUST HOPING YOU CAN READ THIS)
	11:16am Kotzwinkled: I planted three varieties of tomatoes in three different buckets. The bucket I slapped a WFMU sticker on is the only one already bearing fruit. Coincidence? I think not.
	11:16am Frank In Queens: Two shows here and then home, I presume. I haven't seen anything else announced. Tim probably utilizing the time to see Ruby, who sang "Send Me A Postcard" on stage with them last night.
	11:17am clarke: ah! drats. some day.
	11:18am myron feld: Picture My Face is way up there on the #1 list. WAY up there.
	11:18am Andres: Good morning, Michael and all! Top shelf CanCon!!
	11:19am Mister Dobalina: No Rex, today? Drats!
	11:19am clarke: i might have to go visit Eddy and see 'em at a home gig.
	11:20am Eddy in Australia: @Frank Whoops, got the order wrong. Ruby, wow! TV Eye wasn't open when I was last in town - what does it compare to? Love Exbats.
	11:20am Frank In Queens: Yeah, maybe back home there won't be some dope screaming for Berlin Chair or Mr. Milk for the whole show.
	11:20am Andres: Teenage Head documentary “Picture My Face” can be found on the YooToob.
	11:21am clarke: ha ha ha ha!!
	11:21am clarke: i DO like me some Mr. Milk, tho.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: eddy, I find TV Eye to be similar to Maxwells; but just a tad grittier.
	11:22am Eddy in Australia: @Frank Did they actually play those two songs? Cos they do here.
	11:22am Christina Ginger: Tim was not too happy with people in the crowd being annoying last nite, and I can’t blame him.
	11:22am clarke: i am thinking that requests in general are a thing of the past? consensus??
	11:22am Kotzwinkled: The Lumineers are (perhaps deservedly) derided for their "Ho, Hey" song that kinda became the standard faux folksy mason jar rock anthem. But I saw them at Newport Folk Fest and they said "we're gonna play the song. take video of it, whatever. then please put your phones away for the rest of the set." then they went into the crowd to cover "Subterranean Homesick Blues." They're OK in my book.
	11:22am Frank In Queens: @Eddy, yes of course they did. Which makes it even more ridiculous to ask for them all night.
	11:23am Bob: Did Nick Lowe record this? He should.
	11:24am Frank In Queens: @clarke requests for live acts or bar DJs is amateur hour.
	11:24am Eddy in Australia: @Frank Gotcha. That's a nice size. Re. that guy: there's one in every crowd.
	11:25am Brisket: Did DJ Rex get snowed in again today? Love you Rex!
	11:26am clarke: i am talking about that, and even requests for radio shows, etc. everyone, these days, pretty much knows what they are going to play. and they will ask what anyone wants to hear, if they wanna know.
	11:26am Squints: Bob, I do that both Buck and Dwight did it.
	11:26am Eddy in Australia: Not a fan of the yelled requests. Good chance the guy at YAI was an expat who wanted to show off his bona fides. Or whatever.
	11:27am clarke: it USED to be 'cool' Eddy - no longer.
	11:27am clarke: the whole freebird thang killed requests.
	11:28am HyperDose: My kinda jam right here
	11:28am Squints: Frank, it does depend. There's a guy who plays my dive on Tuesday nights who, when it's slow, not only indulges but semi-encourages "stump the singer" requests. Hilarity tends to ensue. All in good fun. If there's a crowd, though, we leave him encouragingly to his work.
	11:28am Frank In Queens: @clarke I agree about radio too, unless the DJ specifically says to make requests.Especially on such a finely curated station such as this one.
	11:29am Bob: In general I mostly hate jazz covers of Beatles songs or rock songs at all. Skatalites make everything groovy though.
	11:29am clarke: that is a different thing, Squints. the artist is ASKING for requests. which IS cool!
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love that Buckinghams off the 1st album more than the Hits tbh.
	11:30am Brisket: I can imagine a dinner guest yelling out ingredients to use in the meal as the cook is in the kitchen.
	11:30am PuraVida: Paul's birthday is today
	11:30am Andres: That was a #1 version!
	11:30am Squints: clarke, yeah. And he's a buddy, so it's all in good fun.
	11:30am Frank In Queens: @Squints, that's totally different, and I like sets like that. But when it's just some yahoo yelling the band's equivalent to "Free Bird" all night, it gets tiresome for everyone.
	11:30am phat in lincoln: I totally want to make a movie just to use The Skatalites in the soundtrack.
	11:30am Eddy in Australia: @Frank There was an expat at a YAI show (at the Mercury Lounge, I think, maybe you were there) yelling stupid Aussie references (sport, TV, etc) to goad Tim. Oof, it was painful.
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♊︎Gemini, Year of Water 🐎Horse I happened to be born @ exactly such a time that literally from the beginning for me & for my entire life - Paul McCartney would be elemental to defining the very parameters in the most fundamental way of what Melody, Romantic Expression, Rawk'n'Roll energy & vocalizing & preserving those very traditions with continuity, Musicianship, Band Collaboration, Composing, Performance, Recording, Style & Creative Conceptualization even are & mean. For lack of more &/or better words. 80 Years Old Today born 18th June, 1942 - Liverpool, England
	11:31am clarke: yeah, Squints - that's not what i was referring to - or the magic box, etc.
	11:31am Squints: There are almost no reggae or ska covers of anything that I don't love. And I say "almost" merely to leave open the possibility. I'm not sure I've ever encountered such in the wild.
	11:31am Michael Shelley: Can't Buy Me Love Junior's Farm Letting Go Got to Get You Into My Life Come On to Me Let Me Roll It( (with “Foxy Lady” outro jam) Getting Better Let 'Em In(Paul on piano.) My Valentine(Paul on piano.) Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five (Paul on piano.) Maybe I'm Amazed(Paul on piano.) I've Just Seen a Face In Spite of All the Danger(The Quarrymen song) Love Me Do Dance Tonight Blackbird Here Today New(Paul on keys.) Lady Madonna Fuh You Jet Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! Something Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da You Never Give Me Your Money She Came in Through the Bathroom Window Get Back Band on the Run Glory Days (Bruce Springsteen cover) (with Bruce Springsteen) I Wanna Be Your Man(with Bruce Springsteen) Let It Be Live and Let Die Hey Jude Encore: I've Got a Feeling Happy Birthday to You (with Jon Bon Jovi) Birthday Helter Skelter Golden Slumbers Carry That Weight The End (with Bruce Springsteen)
	11:33am Squints: clarke and Frank, oh, we make a point of asking for Free Bird. And he proudly has made a point of never learning and thus hilariously making up the words.
	11:33am Frank In Queens: @Eddy, I've been to most of their Mercury Lounge shows so I was probably there.
	11:34am clarke: is abe laboriel still playing with paul?? he's too ham-fisted for moi.
	11:34am Mike + Lilah: I took my 12 year old. She saw a beatle. The show was amazing. But I had the same exact quibbles as you, and the same parking lot experience. Such a great night tho
	11:34am Frank In Queens: I would love to!
	11:34am Squints: Christ, when he opens with "Can't Buy Me Love" you know you're ass will be well and truly kicked.
	11:34am Kotzwinkled: "Why Don't We Leave it in the Road?" -- Mike re: the car upon seeing the parking prices.
	11:34am Bob: John Perrin is indeed a phenom. And just a swell guy. They all are.
	11:34am paul: Abe is still on drums.
	11:34am Brisket: I would rather remember it that I had gone to a Bruce Springsteen concert and Paul Macartney wouldn't get off the stage.
	11:35am clarke: good tune.
	11:35am Hughie Considine: Speaking of NRBQ, I just picked a copy of "Kick Me Hard" in the FREE box at my local record store. I mean, what sense does that make? Hey Clarke, I also found a copy of Fan Modine's "Homeland." You on that one?
	11:35am HungryFreak: Holy schmokes! I've never heard anyone throw shade on Abe Laboriel Jr. before! WFMU Cutting Edge!
	11:35am Frank In Queens: "Coming Up" is one of the first 45s I owned.
	11:35am phat in lincoln: Yes!
	11:35am Lizardner Dave !: It's interesting to hear all these raves about the McCartney show. I saw him at MSG a few years back and it was....fine. Not bad, not great, just...fine. For my money the English act of that era that still delivers just about every time are Pete and Roger and their band that they still call the Who, though it certainly isn't the Who of your childhood. Well unless you're in your 20s.
	11:35am Squints: That tallboy is a Narragansett, Michael. This ain't like chasin' tommycods or bluegills.
	11:35am Eddy in Australia: @Frank On reflection, I think it was a Tim solo show. Looked up the Exbats "tour" (one show!) and I see that it's at TV Eye also. Chime in next week with a report - I'd love to know how they shape up.
	11:35am Moammar: This Paul-goes-disco side is ... regrettable.
	11:36am Joli Gee: I. Loved. This. Song.
	11:36am clarke: to me, Laboriel doesn't have ANY finesse. which ringo had TONS of!!
	11:36am PatrickMC: I could gone home after Junior's Farm and been happy
	11:36am clarke: i don't dislike Abe, just don't think he has any finesse.
	11:36am Christina Ginger: David Byrne probably wishes he wrote this tune.
	11:37am Hughie Considine: John Lennon praised this song, so there's that.
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'ComingUp' as you probly know appreciated much by JohnLennon & stirred his competitive instincts.
	11:37am Mike + Lilah: I could have also done without the half hour animation at the top of the show
	11:37am phat in lincoln: This is awesome. It's just a hood goofy pop song, which the carts I think are mostly missing these days.
	11:37am clarke: ha ha Chrisina!
	11:37am Frank In Queens: @Eddy, this is the 3rd time this Exbats show has been rescheduled, so I think the band is just fulfilling an obligation. But I'm sure it'll be great.
	11:37am clarke: mawnin' Hugh!!
	11:38am evancuts: Late to the topic but in a pinch you can use your phone as a pair of reading glasses w/ the magnifying glass app
	11:38am PTC: FMU meetup before the Nick Lowe show at Bunny’s next door to SOPAC tomorrow!
	11:38am Squints: Moammar, but this does beat the execrable "Goodnight Tonight." There are no versions of "Coming Up" that I don't think are awesome. It just makes me happy.
	11:38am Moammar: I, too, have shameful pleasures. I begrudge you nothing.
	11:38am Hughie Considine: I dunno, Goodnight Tonight is kind of a cousin of Coming Up.
	11:39am Eddy in Australia: @Frank If only Cake Shop were still around, that'd be the perfect place for an Exbats show.
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.facebook.com...
	11:39am clarke: get a new dj!!
	11:39am PatrickMC: Perfect pop. 1979 (?) forever
	11:39am phat in lincoln: Lol. Yes.
	11:39am Hughie Considine: what's shakin' Clarke?
	11:39am paul: Chris Witten was great on drums in Paul's last lineup.
	11:39am HungryFreak: Mmmmm. "M"
	11:39am clarke: Cake Shop was TINY eddy!!
	11:40am Hughie Considine: M was a heck of a movie too.
	11:40am Squints: Heh. I say there are no guilty pleasures. Own your likes. All kinds of 60s and 70s cheese pops up on my player on work afternoons. And I turn cheerfully to my 15-years-younger colleague and remind her, "I make no apology."
	11:40am Eddy in Australia: @Christina Touche on the Byrne comment!
	11:40am clarke: @hughie: tracking drums in mississippi - and it is going SWELL!
	11:40am Listener Bob in PGH: Who you gonna call ..... Pop Muzik!
	11:40am Moammar: As a film, "M" was no "Z."
	11:41am jeanne: great show! I used to to a club in New Rochelle in a mall in 1980. I can't remember the name of the joint but they played great music and we danced for hours
	11:41am Frank In Queens: Here here, Squints!
	11:41am myron feld: Absolute #1.
	11:41am Alex B: Love Pop Muzik!!
	11:41am Ken From Hyde Park: This is one of James Bond's associates?
	11:41am paul: Is this the first single in your "M" section? Should be.
	11:41am Moammar: BONGO FEET NOW!
	11:41am Frank In Queens: @clarke, the venue was small, but I was always able to finagle large pieces of cake at the end of the night there.
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...resenting & bopping head @ once ...happen to you much?...
	11:42am Christina Ginger: Ha, I have a tendency to be brutal sometimes, eddy 😬
	11:42am clarke: @jeanne - did that club in New Rochelle have black and white checkered tiling?? i have always wanted to remember that venue - played there, once.
	11:42am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Yeah, but how many people are Exbats pulling?
	11:42am Squints: It weird how for a period in the late 1970s everyone was compelled to take an otherwise already decent or great song and append to it That Beat. I hardly ever found it additive. The one exception that jumps out at me is The Kinks' "Superman." That record is simultaneously stupid and outstanding.
	11:43am Alex B: Fleagle sounds as good as ever
	11:43am Bob: Banana Splits greater than the Monkees
	11:43am Squints: There's a great cover of this on the Right To Chews compilation.
	11:43am Michael Shelley: McCartney had a "DJ" play a 30 minute set of mashed up McCartny songs before the show... odd
	11:43am PuraVida: One banana two banana three banana four...
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BananaSplits EP with this in this house in toddlerhood - some cereal box connection?
	11:43am clarke: more than Cake Shop number, eddy!! probably a hundred fifty easy.
	11:43am JG: I saw McCartney about ten years ago at the Garden. The set list then was sort of , well, not lame, but just not great. But the set list you got up there Michael is really amazing. Makes me wish I saw him this time around
	11:43am Frank In Queens: I wish mash-ups would just go away already. They're hardly ever good or clever.
	11:44am Greg from ZONE 5: OK, I straight up thought this was a Queers original for the last 20-something years.
	11:44am HungryFreak: So who is it really?
	11:44am jeanne: @clarke, yes I think the dance floor may have had checkered tiles.... long time ago lol
	11:44am clarke: again: i am with Frank on this matter.
	11:44am Bob: Mashed Bananas
	11:44am jeanne: i almost lost my job in graphics in 1982 when i was playing Wings on my cassette player. The ultra cool boss said, "Is someone playing Wings??"
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...conflicted of course with the Splits being revealed as serial killers ...but not Canceling ...not to say cereal killers...
	11:45am Frank In Queens: Most of the time they're forced and not even in the same gd key!
	11:45am Hughie Considine: The Banana Splits aired on Saturday mornings along with "Danger Island," which always scared the crap out of me. What was that all about?
	11:45am Peter Horvath: My favorite Splits song
	11:45am PuraVida: The Monkees came in my restaurant at Epcot (without Mike Nesmith) for Davy Jones 50th birthday on New Years Eve on 12/31/1995. Davy was born on 12/30/1945...
	11:45am Moammar: "Sealab 2020" followed by "The Banana Splits" followed by "The Krofft Supershow."
	11:45am Alex B: Should really be I enjoy being a weird dog like creature with you
	11:45am Hughie Considine: that is killer @jeanne
	11:45am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Mmm, I saw The Clean and Eddy Current there - both could fill bigger venues but the atmosphere was good on those nights
	11:46am Andres: jeanne: Haha! Did you ‘fess up?
	11:46am HungryFreak: Nesmith as flying down to Rio that night for new years.
	11:46am Frank In Queens: Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets also at TV Eye on Wed 8/10 with The Televisionaires! For those who can't get tix to the show in NJ...
	11:46am clarke: oh i love the intimate room FOR SURE!! and at that time it was one of the only venues booking really cool stuff!!
	11:46am Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU
	11:46am Hughie Considine: Nice memory, @Moammar. "Lancelot Link" was in there too, but seriously, "Danger Island" was a special kind of strange.
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DavyJones & MikeNesmith both born 30th Dec.
	11:47am clarke: how bout the Hudson Bros? come on!!
	11:47am jeanne: @Andres @Hughie Considine No i did not fess up -- I quickly forwarded to Roxy Music or They Might be Giants lol
	11:48am HyperDose: That promo was outta sight, man!
	11:48am Squints: I <heart> Chuckie Margolis.
	11:48am prof.fuzz: yo clarke! happy tracking!
	11:48am Toothgrinder Tom: @jeanne it’s not a hanging crime (or shouldn’t be).
	11:48am Bob: So I'll Nick Lowe in Detroit in August because I never miss him. I have to confess that I'm sort of frustrated by his setlist though. It just barely moves from tour to tour. Maybe two songs or something. It's hard to understand.
	11:49am clarke: FuZZZZZZZ danke, sir!! ja ja!!
	11:49am Christina Ginger: Rev rabbit, did you ever see the episode of Sherlock with the ‘Cereal Killer’? Your comment brought that back into my head. Great episode.
	11:49am Eddy in Australia: Lancelot Link was a great show (Mata Hairi!) but the records weren't as good as the Banana Splits
	11:50am clarke: @Prof - i am checking so many tracks off my list that i may be able to make that show in metry!!
	11:50am PuraVida: Who remembers Lidsville? The spinoff from HR Pufnstuff which starred a teenage Butch Patrick aka Eddie Munster...
	11:51am clarke: the first time i heard Won't Get Fooled Again was on Lance Link.
	11:51am Squints: Some of us, myself included, were kind of full of shite forty years about being arbiters or cool. I finally grew up when I started asking, with my head cocked sideways like a dog's, "hey, what is THAT?"
	11:51am prof.fuzz: @clarke: sweet! hope you can make it.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...morning hormones & imagining RachelSweet now ...way tmi...
	11:51am clarke: i remember that there WAS a lidsville, but can't remember a whole lot else about it.
	11:52am jeanne: When I think of all the bands i secretly loved that I had to hide from my some of my friends...Ultra Vox and basically all the early british synth. Too pop for the cool kids What bands did you secretly love that weren't cool?
	11:52am Bob: Alex Chilton kind of owns that song for me
	11:52am Eddy in Australia: @PuraVida Never heard of Lidsville but I'm gonna check it out later. Thanks!
	11:52am Hughie Considine: Vaguely recall Lidsville, @PuraVida, but I think I was aging out of the Sid and Marty Krofft universe by then and on my way to juvenile delinquency.
	11:52am Stevel: I may still have that Banana Splits “record”.
	11:53am Squints: Wasn't a Kroft guy. Maybe because my brother was. Except for maybe Electra Woman, if you know what I mean. heh.
	11:53am prof.fuzz: flexi discs and cereal box records need to make a comeback... maybe after the current cd revival runs its course.
	11:53am PaulRobeson1922: Good morning WFMU Land
	11:54am Bob: I still find it very uneven but my personal favorite track is Terry's Sunflower at the end. Nothing quite like it in the catalog.
	11:54am PuraVida: I 'ran into' Butch Patrick' in 2007 at a friend's band's show on the LES, he was standing next to me at the bar & the bartender (also a friend) leaned WAY over the bar to whisper in my ear that Eddie Munster was standing right next to me (but don't look)...
	11:54am Squints: The Evolution Revolution did WGFA?
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hardly anything I ever liked I'm ashamed of now. Fortunate. Rather - I remember a good handful of things I couldn't get to @ the time - & this incomprehensible & shameful to me now...
	11:55am KWilde: NRBQ - so good!
	11:55am James in ATL: What a great NRBQ song!
	11:55am Eddy in Australia: @Prof Fuzz Jonny Trunk put out a book about British flexis a few years back and a lot of the Dinked Editions come with a flexi. The revival is on!
	11:55am egould: I wore my Stax Records sweatshirt this week. The guy at the coffee shop thought it was cool that I “was a fan of a record label”. I replied, “Does anyone really want to walk around with Isaac Hayes or Rufus Thomas on their chest?”
	11:55am Hughie Considine: Hey, we've seen the vinyl revival and CDs are coming back and cassettes have never really gone away -- the time is ripe for the cereal box to be taken seriously as a medium for song distribution (and daily fiber).
	11:55am phat in lincoln: I wish NRBQ would make it out to this part of the country.
	11:55am jeanne: Good for you @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 your mama must've loved you
	11:55am prof.fuzz: @Eddy: hell yeah.
	11:56am James in ATL: @phat in Lincoln - Agreed on NRBQ - would travel anywhere around the Southeast to see them.
	11:56am Hughie Considine: I wish I "ran" into Pat Priest.
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah so - Melodic Genius of Rawk~Pop 80 Today ...Thee Harmonic Genius - I mean Brian - 80 in two days. Just saw 'Long Promised Road'. Woosh. The Humanity.
	11:57am PaulRobeson1922: Rock & Roll, it was never new, it will never grow old!
	11:57am Squints: jeanne, that's weird. All my punk and new wave buddies were fine with Ultravox. Anybody who fell into the WLIR crowd. But I get what you mean. I do remember that I did bring my Monkees records up to college until halfway through my freshman year (1977). And it was somewhat an act of defiance.
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lennon made the point - they said Rawk'n'Roll wouldn't last from the beginning. So - a feature, not a bug...
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: In the 80s, Butch Patrick was in New Paltz to promote the opening of a party supplies store and I drove over there to get a picture with him.
	11:59am Paul in the OC: Bubble Gum/Cartoon music heroes discussion! Big vote here for the Lancelot Link Evolution Revolution Lp—excellent cuts and the title track is killer!
	12:00pm PuraVida: @Hughie Considine I'd want to meet Marilyn Munster too
	12:00pm myron feld: MS, my son is here and yelled out, "Me!" Thanks for thinking of him.
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: POP - you are here - ART
	12:00pm Squints: egould, with Rufus Thomas on yah t-shirt you'd almost have to be doing The Funky Chicken every single minute.
	12:00pm MrDeb: I also recall records in magazines? But can't recall what/where...potentially not music but educational? Anybody?
	12:00pm jeanne: @Squints...ah, WLIR, sweet memories are made....lol, good for you! I still have my Monkees singles.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: One of my earliest crushes, @PuraVida...she wasn't just pretty, she was kind and accepting of ugliness.
	12:02pm clarke: @Christina - in answer to your query, a friend of mine's older brother, when i was young, said to never be embarrassed if you like a tune - you like the tune! therefore, there are no guilty pleasures. no guilt.
	12:02pm G: And you don't mess around with Sam...
	12:02pm Squints: I did shed my Monkees LPs when Rhino did the CD remasters in the 1990s. They weren't really worth anything. I took care of my records within reason. But I played my records. A lot.
	12:02pm Eddy in Australia: @MrDeb Plenty of flexis in magazines: Mad ("Makin Out"!), Sassy, etc.
	12:03pm PuraVida: @Hughie Considine She's 87 now...
	12:03pm prof.fuzz: great philosophy of life and music, clarke
	12:03pm clarke: that said, i sometimes feel the need to explain my Billy Squier fascination.
	12:03pm Hughie Considine: The guilty pleasure idea stems partly from the Rock Critic autocracy we all grew up with. Rejecting Robert Christgau's proclamations was a huge step forward for me.
	12:03pm MrDeb: Also coming in late to the drug culture for kids discussion but...the Bugaloos? I looked their videos up recently. So weird. So acid-y. Plus why is the woman so sexy and wearing micro minis? On a show for kids? The 70s, man.
	12:03pm PuraVida: @clarke my HS yearbook quote was a Billy Squier lyric...
	12:04pm clarke: Christgau = broken clock - correct twice a day.
	12:04pm HyperDose: Had to look up "micro mini". Wasn't disappointed.
	12:04pm PatrickMC: Philippe Wynne preach it
	12:04pm Squints: Nuts. What's the Motown song they're calling back with that descending lick between verses here? Something by Marvin Gaye, I wanna say, but I can't place it.
	12:04pm prof.fuzz: saturday morning cartoons/kid shows in the 70s delivered.
	12:04pm clarke: @MrDeb - uhhh, what do you think Lidsville was designed for??
	12:05pm Squints: Yeah. She was the only think I liked about the Bugaloos.
	12:05pm MrDeb: @Eddy ahh maybe it was Mad as my brother and I were big fans. But what was on the records?
	12:05pm Hughie Considine: True, @Clarke,i just resented how often he crapped on a record I loved, and so smugly and obtusely.
	12:06pm Squints: As a father of daughters, I ask nicely that we not look "up" micro-minis. 8^)
	12:06pm PaulRobeson1922: A jack-beat boogie with a two-stroke roll It was never new, it will never grow old @Rev Rabbit1963: Paul McCartney’s new music (FIND MY WAY) sounds a lot more like John’s music. Paul is growing get yer guns
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Finally ...when working a CD Store in (class conscious) SantaBarbara ...starting talking to someone about something I liked - & prefaced it with 'I know some people don't like this' ...& realized I was doing that every time. Why bother ??
	12:06pm Moammar: First line of this Hi-Liners song is genius.
	12:06pm Squints: This is like The Romantics backing The Playmates. His horn went beep beep beep.
	12:06pm Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. Good to be here on the board and in NY.
	12:06pm G: @clarke: I owe you an email. I'm still in Portland OR; we're visiting Mary Ellen's daughter, and lots is going on. Back in New Orleans on Tuesday, and less overscheduled.
	12:06pm Moammar: *Hi-Risers
	12:06pm Michael Shelley: AGREE - good is good. No guilty pleasures!
	12:07pm Eddy in Australia: @MrDeb The one I remember (and still have) was a song called Makin Out - circa 75ish?
	12:07pm Squints: clarke and jeanne, that's one. Liking post-Piper Billy Squier always made me a little sheepish.
	12:08pm jeanne: @Michael Shelley, your show sets us free :)
	12:08pm Cooh John: Thought that sounded like the Hi Risers.👍
	12:08pm Frank In Queens: @MrDeb I loved the Bugaloos when I was a kid. I believe they played a major part in me becoming an anglophile.
	12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PaulR - yes, I think so! ...Maybe even he feel the responsibility like that...
	12:08pm myron feld: @Squints: yes, The Romantics! I couldn't think of what this reminded me of. It's "Talking In Your Sleep," right?
	12:09pm jeanne: Squints :) lol, yes
	12:09pm DanFA: Hello Michael Shelley.
	12:09pm clarke: @G - there's time!! have fun in portland. also, did you hear MS ask about any poker players out there?? mary ellen lissnin'??
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anglophile as in literally loving the English. Mod British Women. ...If one feels too Anglophiliac - I think I discovered the solution: Meet & speak with Irish people...
	12:10pm HyperDose: Lets get some more acts into White Eagle Hall. Really want to check out that venue
	12:11pm Squints: Myron, right. Later period That angular guitar thing, copped somewhat from Love Is The Drug. Although The Romantics could be plenty scrubby (e.g., What I Like About You.).
	12:11pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	12:11pm Moammar: We're veering into Harry Chapin territory here!
	12:11pm clarke: i think i AM in hermit existence, ha ha ha. and loving it!!
	12:12pm Tim from LH: Michael, I believe I saw the Hi-Risers down the shore in a brewery with you and your daughter and maybe 30 other people in attendance.
	12:12pm MrDeb: @Frank haaaaa! I still have my Bugaloos thermos but not the lunchbox, alas.
	12:12pm PaulRobeson1922: A true fine mama with a heart of gold It was never new, it will never grow old
	12:14pm clarke: RX baby!!!! yaaaah~!
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: 10/10!
	12:14pm Michael Shelley: Tim - was a GREAT SHOW!
	12:15pm MrDeb: @Eddy hmm...cursory search not turning up anything but thanks for the tip!
	12:16pm Tim from LH: Michael- yes indeed. I knew it was a rare show for them in this area and knew I had to go.
	12:16pm James in ATL: Michael, it shows how seriously you take your role as Dad. I wish everyone did that. Good job!
	12:17pm Squints: This Bobby Charles. GGY.
	12:17pm clarke: ggy!!
	12:18pm Squints: Wow. GGY aGAIN!
	12:19pm clarke: GGSq~~
	12:19pm Moammar: Deeply in favor of doing the mess-around. Will do it throughout the long weekend.
	12:19pm Squints: A soul chain reaction approaching critical mass.
	12:20pm clarke: @Squints: hey, who played at the melody tent this past week?? a friend said he was going but didn't say to what/who??
	12:21pm Eddy in Australia: @MrDeb Turns out it was 1978. Here you go: www.discogs.com...
	12:22pm clarke: hook-ridden loveliness!!
	12:22pm James in ATL: This Badfinger is in the running for my favorite song of all time.
	12:23pm clarke: i knew i liked you JinATL!!
	12:23pm jeanne: David "Dai" Jenkins awesome guitar
	12:23pm Squints: Wailers played there Thursday night, clarke. Got to confess I had to look it up. Flo & Eddie's Happy Together tour is there this coming week. But I've seen all those acts before. Lake Street Dive was earlier this week.
	12:24pm andy fuchs: Can't beat the Badfinger.....
	12:24pm Squints: When people ask me to define Power Pop, I point to No Matter What as the picture in the dictionary. The search for The Great Lost Badfinger Song.
	12:24pm clarke: hmm. i think this was tuesday. may have been a comedy act?? anyway, thnx!
	12:25pm Squints: This Floyd Dakin numbah is one whole lot of alright.
	12:25pm clarke: again... i could easily look up all this stuff. but, i got friends, see...??
	12:26pm Pedro in Arlington: Confessions of a cheaper dad: Took the kids to see Ringo a few years ago. Lawn tickets were almost free on Stubhub with a threat of rain. One of these days they'll appreciate Todd Rundgren being in the band. They also saw Dylan and Willie Nelson in a minor league park because kids got in free.
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.facebook.com...
	12:27pm Squints: Pedro: Dylan and Willie in 2009, maybe? Saw Willie/Mellencamp/Daylan at McCoy Field in Pawtucket that summer.
	12:29pm Andres: I have always wondered if record engineers/mixers would be upset to see the junk speakers that their hard work is being played on. That said, sorry, on phone speakers as I chore around from room to room.
	12:29pm prof.fuzz: "they even play our music..."
	12:29pm Squints: "They even play our music." That made me laugh.
	12:30pm prof.fuzz: @squints: likewise
	12:30pm bbxtina: that was a greta themesong
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oft repeated truism to try your mix on car speakers or the like...
	12:30pm egould: That was literally the coolest station ID, ever.
	12:30pm Squints: Ooh. Diggin' this. Marks. Not Marx. Although it's charming that that other guy seems to get the joke.
	12:31pm Listener John from NJ: 'Comin'on strong" is a B[lly Joe Shaver song, no?
	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TerreT's Bumpers on CherryBlossomClinic - recreations of various Classic Nuggets - blow my little mind every single time.
	12:31pm Squints: Get it on up.
	12:32pm Moammar: Still doing the mess-around.
	12:32pm clarke: attaboy!!
	12:33pm jeanne: @Squints saw that show at Bethel Woods -- was amazed how good Mellencamp was! not so much Dylan that day.
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Speaking of ClassicNuggets ...it's Kim gawdam Shattuck ...gawdammit.
	12:34pm andy fuchs: I made a station ID once..... :( lol
	12:35pm egould: Yeah Kim Shattuck. RIP.
	12:35pm MrDeb: @Pedro that's genius! @Eddy OMG a danceable pop song about how everybody else is makin'out except this guy.
	12:35pm rx scabin: The more of the Muffs that I hear the more that I like them.
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...covering Bowie with style & success. (!)
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: rx - precisely.
	12:36pm clarke: there are but four....
	12:36pm egould: Dave Davies sounds like a ghost. He’s a good Twitter follow. He’s funny as hell.
	12:37pm Squints: They don't SOUND small.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Life should be what the SmallFaces made it seem like. (Not what their BidnessDeals were...)
	12:38pm Squints: egould, he's got some miles. And he had some health issues five or ten years ago.
	12:39pm Squints: The Two Step Two would be a good name for a duo that does this sort of thing.
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dave - recovering from a major stroke. Impressively.
	12:40pm Hubig Pie: I like -y Two step too but I always on the wrong foot.
	12:41pm Edward: On the first go-round, I thought he as saying "I like a tube steak too."
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wondered if you can call this Beat a TwoStep - or just the Dance? ...That 1-2 CountryShuffle thang...
	12:42pm Moammar: Zigaboo!
	12:42pm James in ATL: Great show today - especially given that you can't see! Thanks, Michael
	12:43pm Brisket: Thanks for giving me a special Father's Day DJ Mike. Wasn't no breakfast in bed, but I will take whatever I can get.
	12:44pm egould: Fun-kay!
	12:45pm zak: man oh man this Sufferin' Creature song just gets better and better as the years go by
	12:46pm clarke: makes one ponder fall and little candies...
	12:47pm buffalo66: We need Faith Healer to release new material.
	12:47pm Squints: Knumber. One.
	12:47pm egould: That devolved nicely.
	12:47pm clarke: underrated album!
	12:49pm rx scabin: One person's anachronistic is anther person's timeless.
	12:50pm egould: Powerpop! Went to see the Eyelids last week in Portland, OR. At one point, my wife turned to me, pointed at the band and yelled “powerpop!” And she was right. The proudest moment in nineteen years of marriage.
	12:50pm clarke: is it too early to discuss the gravity of Collette Gagaguch??
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Crossed paths with a Hollies collection called 'Not the Hits Again!' ...it has became a reference phrase...
	12:51pm clarke: egould: i think evan davies was at that Eyelids shew.
	12:52pm egould: All the Evan’s were there. Except Evan Dando.
	12:52pm Listener Baby: Tonight I’m gonna rock you tonight?
	12:52pm clarke: kewl, and good for that.
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness - Keats
	12:53pm clarke: BABY~~~ how's the punk??
	12:54pm Listener Baby: Fine Clarke. Off being a camp counselor. Won’t see her much. Thanks for asking!,

	11:00am Squints: ok then. heyHEYhey now. Hey, I recoginate those coasters.
	11:01am Squints: Yeah, gotta keep that condensation away from the keyboard. When they're $300/pop it ill-behooves me to be Shiva, destroyer thereof. Not on my dime but I do get harrumphed at.
	11:02am Peter Horvath: Hey Michael, hey other folks. Happy Saturday

	11:04am Bob: Good morning from Ann Arborish. I've been listening to these UK Bubblerock comps. How did I not know about these?
	11:05am Eddy in Australia: Thanks, Baby. A glass of wine would help!
	11:06am Listener Baby: I can help. But you live in a pretty good part of the world for such.
	11:07am Frank In Queens: Oh, HEY NOW!
	11:07am Squints: This might sound stupid, but I could hear Lesley Gore covering this Kinks number. Or maybe some girl group.
	11:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Michael & all!
	11:08am clarke: hey hey now NOW
	11:08am HyperDose: Josie and the Pussycats would crush this
	11:08am James in ATL: I love the Purple Wizard cover of this song! No bad versions.
	11:08am Frank In Queens: Eddy, clarke, saw Tim and the boys last night at TV Eye!
	11:09am Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! Long week, so looking forward to some #1’s to help put it behind me.
	11:09am Squints: Hyperdose, <charlie brown shout voice>, THAT'S IT.
	11:09am clarke: o WOW -- UMI?? awesome!!
	11:09am Eddy in Australia: @Frank How was it? Did you see the Central Park show?
	11:09am Eddy in Australia: Hey Clarke!
	11:10am clarke: i am assuming they were killer???
	11:10am paul: Happy 80th birthday to Sir Paul McCartney!
	11:10am PTC: Thought I was the only Michael fan who streamed last night’s Dead & Company show.
	11:10am clarke: 'allo Edward!! Hi Naybor Squints~
	11:11am PuraVida: @PTC I live in Boulder
	11:12am clarke: my eyes don't see so good!
	11:12am Squints: They say it's his birthday.
	11:13am Listener Baby: Somebody should give you a set of emergency glasses that could have with you at all times. Something small, compact, that might fit on a phone case. No?
	11:14am PuraVida: Sir Paul, inspiration for naming of the Ramones. 'Douglas Couvin inspired by McCartney’s pseudonym Paul Ramon started calling himself Dee Dee Ramone. Dee Dee then came up with the idea of naming the new band the Ramones & convinced the other members of the band to start using Ramone as their last name.'
	11:14am Pedro in Arlington: Sorry you can't read this Mike but you're still the world's No. 1 deejay.
	11:14am Frank In Queens: Eddy, clarke, yes they were fantastic. Great set list too. Nice mix of old and new. The Central Park show is tonight, but we're going to see Exbats tonight.
	11:15am Mister Dobalina: Cumbia...maybe Peruvian? Me no know.
	11:15am clarke: man, would love to catch a show of theirs! any idea about what the 'tour' looks like?
	11:15am Squints: Seeing Phil Lesh & Friends closing Day 2 of Levitate festival up this way 7/9. I'm actually more excited about The Elovators and Durand Jones & the Indications.
	11:16am Greg g: HANG IN THERE MICHAEL! SOUNDING GREAT AS ALWAYS ( NOT YELLING, JUST HOPING YOU CAN READ THIS)
	11:16am Kotzwinkled: I planted three varieties of tomatoes in three different buckets. The bucket I slapped a WFMU sticker on is the only one already bearing fruit. Coincidence? I think not.
	11:16am Frank In Queens: Two shows here and then home, I presume. I haven't seen anything else announced. Tim probably utilizing the time to see Ruby, who sang "Send Me A Postcard" on stage with them last night.
	11:17am clarke: ah! drats. some day.
	11:18am myron feld: Picture My Face is way up there on the #1 list. WAY up there.
	11:18am Andres: Good morning, Michael and all! Top shelf CanCon!!
	11:19am Mister Dobalina: No Rex, today? Drats!
	11:19am clarke: i might have to go visit Eddy and see 'em at a home gig.
	11:20am Eddy in Australia: @Frank Whoops, got the order wrong. Ruby, wow! TV Eye wasn't open when I was last in town - what does it compare to? Love Exbats.
	11:20am Frank In Queens: Yeah, maybe back home there won't be some dope screaming for Berlin Chair or Mr. Milk for the whole show.
	11:20am Andres: Teenage Head documentary “Picture My Face” can be found on the YooToob.
	11:21am clarke: ha ha ha ha!!
	11:21am clarke: i DO like me some Mr. Milk, tho.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: eddy, I find TV Eye to be similar to Maxwells; but just a tad grittier.
	11:22am Eddy in Australia: @Frank Did they actually play those two songs? Cos they do here.
	11:22am Christina Ginger: Tim was not too happy with people in the crowd being annoying last nite, and I can’t blame him.
	11:22am clarke: i am thinking that requests in general are a thing of the past? consensus??
	11:22am Kotzwinkled: The Lumineers are (perhaps deservedly) derided for their "Ho, Hey" song that kinda became the standard faux folksy mason jar rock anthem. But I saw them at Newport Folk Fest and they said "we're gonna play the song. take video of it, whatever. then please put your phones away for the rest of the set." then they went into the crowd to cover "Subterranean Homesick Blues." They're OK in my book.
	11:22am Frank In Queens: @Eddy, yes of course they did. Which makes it even more ridiculous to ask for them all night.
	11:23am Bob: Did Nick Lowe record this? He should.
	11:24am Frank In Queens: @clarke requests for live acts or bar DJs is amateur hour.
	11:24am Eddy in Australia: @Frank Gotcha. That's a nice size. Re. that guy: there's one in every crowd.
	11:25am Brisket: Did DJ Rex get snowed in again today? Love you Rex!
	11:26am clarke: i am talking about that, and even requests for radio shows, etc. everyone, these days, pretty much knows what they are going to play. and they will ask what anyone wants to hear, if they wanna know.
	11:26am Squints: Bob, I do that both Buck and Dwight did it.
	11:26am Eddy in Australia: Not a fan of the yelled requests. Good chance the guy at YAI was an expat who wanted to show off his bona fides. Or whatever.
	11:27am clarke: it USED to be 'cool' Eddy - no longer.
	11:27am clarke: the whole freebird thang killed requests.
	11:28am HyperDose: My kinda jam right here
	11:28am Squints: Frank, it does depend. There's a guy who plays my dive on Tuesday nights who, when it's slow, not only indulges but semi-encourages "stump the singer" requests. Hilarity tends to ensue. All in good fun. If there's a crowd, though, we leave him encouragingly to his work.
	11:28am Frank In Queens: @clarke I agree about radio too, unless the DJ specifically says to make requests.Especially on such a finely curated station such as this one.
	11:29am Bob: In general I mostly hate jazz covers of Beatles songs or rock songs at all. Skatalites make everything groovy though.
	11:29am clarke: that is a different thing, Squints. the artist is ASKING for requests. which IS cool!
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love that Buckinghams off the 1st album more than the Hits tbh.
	11:30am Brisket: I can imagine a dinner guest yelling out ingredients to use in the meal as the cook is in the kitchen.
	11:30am PuraVida: Paul's birthday is today
	11:30am Andres: That was a #1 version!
	11:30am Squints: clarke, yeah. And he's a buddy, so it's all in good fun.
	11:30am Frank In Queens: @Squints, that's totally different, and I like sets like that. But when it's just some yahoo yelling the band's equivalent to "Free Bird" all night, it gets tiresome for everyone.
	11:30am phat in lincoln: I totally want to make a movie just to use The Skatalites in the soundtrack.
	11:30am Eddy in Australia: @Frank There was an expat at a YAI show (at the Mercury Lounge, I think, maybe you were there) yelling stupid Aussie references (sport, TV, etc) to goad Tim. Oof, it was painful.
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♊︎Gemini, Year of Water 🐎Horse I happened to be born @ exactly such a time that literally from the beginning for me & for my entire life - Paul McCartney would be elemental to defining the very parameters in the most fundamental way of what Melody, Romantic Expression, Rawk'n'Roll energy & vocalizing & preserving those very traditions with continuity, Musicianship, Band Collaboration, Composing, Performance, Recording, Style & Creative Conceptualization even are & mean. For lack of more &/or better words. 80 Years Old Today born 18th June, 1942 - Liverpool, England
	11:31am clarke: yeah, Squints - that's not what i was referring to - or the magic box, etc.
	11:31am Squints: There are almost no reggae or ska covers of anything that I don't love. And I say "almost" merely to leave open the possibility. I'm not sure I've ever encountered such in the wild.
	11:31am Michael Shelley: Can't Buy Me Love Junior's Farm Letting Go Got to Get You Into My Life Come On to Me Let Me Roll It( (with “Foxy Lady” outro jam) Getting Better Let 'Em In(Paul on piano.) My Valentine(Paul on piano.) Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five (Paul on piano.) Maybe I'm Amazed(Paul on piano.) I've Just Seen a Face In Spite of All the Danger(The Quarrymen song) Love Me Do Dance Tonight Blackbird Here Today New(Paul on keys.) Lady Madonna Fuh You Jet Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! Something Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da You Never Give Me Your Money She Came in Through the Bathroom Window Get Back Band on the Run Glory Days (Bruce Springsteen cover) (with Bruce Springsteen) I Wanna Be Your Man(with Bruce Springsteen) Let It Be Live and Let Die Hey Jude Encore: I've Got a Feeling Happy Birthday to You (with Jon Bon Jovi) Birthday Helter Skelter Golden Slumbers Carry That Weight The End (with Bruce Springsteen)
	11:33am Squints: clarke and Frank, oh, we make a point of asking for Free Bird. And he proudly has made a point of never learning and thus hilariously making up the words.
	11:33am Frank In Queens: @Eddy, I've been to most of their Mercury Lounge shows so I was probably there.
	11:34am clarke: is abe laboriel still playing with paul?? he's too ham-fisted for moi.
	11:34am Mike + Lilah: I took my 12 year old. She saw a beatle. The show was amazing. But I had the same exact quibbles as you, and the same parking lot experience. Such a great night tho
	11:34am Frank In Queens: I would love to!
	11:34am Squints: Christ, when he opens with "Can't Buy Me Love" you know you're ass will be well and truly kicked.
	11:34am Kotzwinkled: "Why Don't We Leave it in the Road?" -- Mike re: the car upon seeing the parking prices.
	11:34am Bob: John Perrin is indeed a phenom. And just a swell guy. They all are.
	11:34am paul: Abe is still on drums.
	11:34am Brisket: I would rather remember it that I had gone to a Bruce Springsteen concert and Paul Macartney wouldn't get off the stage.
	11:35am clarke: good tune.
	11:35am Hughie Considine: Speaking of NRBQ, I just picked a copy of "Kick Me Hard" in the FREE box at my local record store. I mean, what sense does that make? Hey Clarke, I also found a copy of Fan Modine's "Homeland." You on that one?
	11:35am HungryFreak: Holy schmokes! I've never heard anyone throw shade on Abe Laboriel Jr. before! WFMU Cutting Edge!
	11:35am Frank In Queens: "Coming Up" is one of the first 45s I owned.
	11:35am phat in lincoln: Yes!
	11:35am Lizardner Dave !: It's interesting to hear all these raves about the McCartney show. I saw him at MSG a few years back and it was....fine. Not bad, not great, just...fine. For my money the English act of that era that still delivers just about every time are Pete and Roger and their band that they still call the Who, though it certainly isn't the Who of your childhood. Well unless you're in your 20s.
	11:35am Squints: That tallboy is a Narragansett, Michael. This ain't like chasin' tommycods or bluegills.
	11:35am Eddy in Australia: @Frank On reflection, I think it was a Tim solo show. Looked up the Exbats "tour" (one show!) and I see that it's at TV Eye also. Chime in next week with a report - I'd love to know how they shape up.
	11:35am Moammar: This Paul-goes-disco side is ... regrettable.
	11:36am Joli Gee: I. Loved. This. Song.
	11:36am clarke: to me, Laboriel doesn't have ANY finesse. which ringo had TONS of!!
	11:36am PatrickMC: I could gone home after Junior's Farm and been happy
	11:36am clarke: i don't dislike Abe, just don't think he has any finesse.
	11:36am Christina Ginger: David Byrne probably wishes he wrote this tune.
	11:37am Hughie Considine: John Lennon praised this song, so there's that.
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'ComingUp' as you probly know appreciated much by JohnLennon & stirred his competitive instincts.
	11:37am Mike + Lilah: I could have also done without the half hour animation at the top of the show
	11:37am phat in lincoln: This is awesome. It's just a hood goofy pop song, which the carts I think are mostly missing these days.
	11:37am clarke: ha ha Chrisina!
	11:37am Frank In Queens: @Eddy, this is the 3rd time this Exbats show has been rescheduled, so I think the band is just fulfilling an obligation. But I'm sure it'll be great.
	11:37am clarke: mawnin' Hugh!!
	11:38am evancuts: Late to the topic but in a pinch you can use your phone as a pair of reading glasses w/ the magnifying glass app
	11:38am PTC: FMU meetup before the Nick Lowe show at Bunny’s next door to SOPAC tomorrow!
	11:38am Squints: Moammar, but this does beat the execrable "Goodnight Tonight." There are no versions of "Coming Up" that I don't think are awesome. It just makes me happy.
	11:38am Moammar: I, too, have shameful pleasures. I begrudge you nothing.
	11:38am Hughie Considine: I dunno, Goodnight Tonight is kind of a cousin of Coming Up.
	11:39am Eddy in Australia: @Frank If only Cake Shop were still around, that'd be the perfect place for an Exbats show.
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.facebook.com...
	11:39am clarke: get a new dj!!
	11:39am PatrickMC: Perfect pop. 1979 (?) forever
	11:39am phat in lincoln: Lol. Yes.
	11:39am Hughie Considine: what's shakin' Clarke?
	11:39am paul: Chris Witten was great on drums in Paul's last lineup.
	11:39am HungryFreak: Mmmmm. "M"
	11:39am clarke: Cake Shop was TINY eddy!!
	11:40am Hughie Considine: M was a heck of a movie too.
	11:40am Squints: Heh. I say there are no guilty pleasures. Own your likes. All kinds of 60s and 70s cheese pops up on my player on work afternoons. And I turn cheerfully to my 15-years-younger colleague and remind her, "I make no apology."
	11:40am Eddy in Australia: @Christina Touche on the Byrne comment!
	11:40am clarke: @hughie: tracking drums in mississippi - and it is going SWELL!
	11:40am Listener Bob in PGH: Who you gonna call ..... Pop Muzik!
	11:40am Moammar: As a film, "M" was no "Z."
	11:41am jeanne: great show! I used to to a club in New Rochelle in a mall in 1980. I can't remember the name of the joint but they played great music and we danced for hours
	11:41am Frank In Queens: Here here, Squints!
	11:41am myron feld: Absolute #1.
	11:41am Alex B: Love Pop Muzik!!
	11:41am Ken From Hyde Park: This is one of James Bond's associates?
	11:41am paul: Is this the first single in your "M" section? Should be.
	11:41am Moammar: BONGO FEET NOW!
	11:41am Frank In Queens: @clarke, the venue was small, but I was always able to finagle large pieces of cake at the end of the night there.
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...resenting & bopping head @ once ...happen to you much?...
	11:42am Christina Ginger: Ha, I have a tendency to be brutal sometimes, eddy 😬
	11:42am clarke: @jeanne - did that club in New Rochelle have black and white checkered tiling?? i have always wanted to remember that venue - played there, once.
	11:42am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Yeah, but how many people are Exbats pulling?
	11:42am Squints: It weird how for a period in the late 1970s everyone was compelled to take an otherwise already decent or great song and append to it That Beat. I hardly ever found it additive. The one exception that jumps out at me is The Kinks' "Superman." That record is simultaneously stupid and outstanding.
	11:43am Alex B: Fleagle sounds as good as ever
	11:43am Bob: Banana Splits greater than the Monkees
	11:43am Squints: There's a great cover of this on the Right To Chews compilation.
	11:43am Michael Shelley: McCartney had a "DJ" play a 30 minute set of mashed up McCartny songs before the show... odd
	11:43am PuraVida: One banana two banana three banana four...
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BananaSplits EP with this in this house in toddlerhood - some cereal box connection?
	11:43am clarke: more than Cake Shop number, eddy!! probably a hundred fifty easy.
	11:43am JG: I saw McCartney about ten years ago at the Garden. The set list then was sort of , well, not lame, but just not great. But the set list you got up there Michael is really amazing. Makes me wish I saw him this time around
	11:43am Frank In Queens: I wish mash-ups would just go away already. They're hardly ever good or clever.
	11:44am Greg from ZONE 5: OK, I straight up thought this was a Queers original for the last 20-something years.
	11:44am HungryFreak: So who is it really?
	11:44am jeanne: @clarke, yes I think the dance floor may have had checkered tiles.... long time ago lol
	11:44am clarke: again: i am with Frank on this matter.
	11:44am Bob: Mashed Bananas
	11:44am jeanne: i almost lost my job in graphics in 1982 when i was playing Wings on my cassette player. The ultra cool boss said, "Is someone playing Wings??"
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...conflicted of course with the Splits being revealed as serial killers ...but not Canceling ...not to say cereal killers...
	11:45am Frank In Queens: Most of the time they're forced and not even in the same gd key!
	11:45am Hughie Considine: The Banana Splits aired on Saturday mornings along with "Danger Island," which always scared the crap out of me. What was that all about?
	11:45am Peter Horvath: My favorite Splits song
	11:45am PuraVida: The Monkees came in my restaurant at Epcot (without Mike Nesmith) for Davy Jones 50th birthday on New Years Eve on 12/31/1995. Davy was born on 12/30/1945...
	11:45am Moammar: "Sealab 2020" followed by "The Banana Splits" followed by "The Krofft Supershow."
	11:45am Alex B: Should really be I enjoy being a weird dog like creature with you
	11:45am Hughie Considine: that is killer @jeanne
	11:45am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Mmm, I saw The Clean and Eddy Current there - both could fill bigger venues but the atmosphere was good on those nights
	11:46am Andres: jeanne: Haha! Did you ‘fess up?
	11:46am HungryFreak: Nesmith as flying down to Rio that night for new years.
	11:46am Frank In Queens: Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets also at TV Eye on Wed 8/10 with The Televisionaires! For those who can't get tix to the show in NJ...
	11:46am clarke: oh i love the intimate room FOR SURE!! and at that time it was one of the only venues booking really cool stuff!!
	11:46am Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU
	11:46am Hughie Considine: Nice memory, @Moammar. "Lancelot Link" was in there too, but seriously, "Danger Island" was a special kind of strange.
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DavyJones & MikeNesmith both born 30th Dec.
	11:47am clarke: how bout the Hudson Bros? come on!!
	11:47am jeanne: @Andres @Hughie Considine No i did not fess up -- I quickly forwarded to Roxy Music or They Might be Giants lol
	11:48am HyperDose: That promo was outta sight, man!
	11:48am Squints: I <heart> Chuckie Margolis.
	11:48am prof.fuzz: yo clarke! happy tracking!
	11:48am Toothgrinder Tom: @jeanne it’s not a hanging crime (or shouldn’t be).
	11:48am Bob: So I'll Nick Lowe in Detroit in August because I never miss him. I have to confess that I'm sort of frustrated by his setlist though. It just barely moves from tour to tour. Maybe two songs or something. It's hard to understand.
	11:49am clarke: FuZZZZZZZ danke, sir!! ja ja!!
	11:49am Christina Ginger: Rev rabbit, did you ever see the episode of Sherlock with the ‘Cereal Killer’? Your comment brought that back into my head. Great episode.
	11:49am Eddy in Australia: Lancelot Link was a great show (Mata Hairi!) but the records weren't as good as the Banana Splits
	11:50am clarke: @Prof - i am checking so many tracks off my list that i may be able to make that show in metry!!
	11:50am PuraVida: Who remembers Lidsville? The spinoff from HR Pufnstuff which starred a teenage Butch Patrick aka Eddie Munster...
	11:51am clarke: the first time i heard Won't Get Fooled Again was on Lance Link.
	11:51am Squints: Some of us, myself included, were kind of full of shite forty years about being arbiters or cool. I finally grew up when I started asking, with my head cocked sideways like a dog's, "hey, what is THAT?"
	11:51am prof.fuzz: @clarke: sweet! hope you can make it.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...morning hormones & imagining RachelSweet now ...way tmi...
	11:51am clarke: i remember that there WAS a lidsville, but can't remember a whole lot else about it.
	11:52am jeanne: When I think of all the bands i secretly loved that I had to hide from my some of my friends...Ultra Vox and basically all the early british synth. Too pop for the cool kids What bands did you secretly love that weren't cool?
	11:52am Bob: Alex Chilton kind of owns that song for me
	11:52am Eddy in Australia: @PuraVida Never heard of Lidsville but I'm gonna check it out later. Thanks!
	11:52am Hughie Considine: Vaguely recall Lidsville, @PuraVida, but I think I was aging out of the Sid and Marty Krofft universe by then and on my way to juvenile delinquency.
	11:52am Stevel: I may still have that Banana Splits “record”.
	11:53am Squints: Wasn't a Kroft guy. Maybe because my brother was. Except for maybe Electra Woman, if you know what I mean. heh.
	11:53am prof.fuzz: flexi discs and cereal box records need to make a comeback... maybe after the current cd revival runs its course.
	11:53am PaulRobeson1922: Good morning WFMU Land
	11:54am Bob: I still find it very uneven but my personal favorite track is Terry's Sunflower at the end. Nothing quite like it in the catalog.
	11:54am PuraVida: I 'ran into' Butch Patrick' in 2007 at a friend's band's show on the LES, he was standing next to me at the bar & the bartender (also a friend) leaned WAY over the bar to whisper in my ear that Eddie Munster was standing right next to me (but don't look)...
	11:54am Squints: The Evolution Revolution did WGFA?
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hardly anything I ever liked I'm ashamed of now. Fortunate. Rather - I remember a good handful of things I couldn't get to @ the time - & this incomprehensible & shameful to me now...
	11:55am KWilde: NRBQ - so good!
	11:55am James in ATL: What a great NRBQ song!
	11:55am Eddy in Australia: @Prof Fuzz Jonny Trunk put out a book about British flexis a few years back and a lot of the Dinked Editions come with a flexi. The revival is on!
	11:55am egould: I wore my Stax Records sweatshirt this week. The guy at the coffee shop thought it was cool that I “was a fan of a record label”. I replied, “Does anyone really want to walk around with Isaac Hayes or Rufus Thomas on their chest?”
	11:55am Hughie Considine: Hey, we've seen the vinyl revival and CDs are coming back and cassettes have never really gone away -- the time is ripe for the cereal box to be taken seriously as a medium for song distribution (and daily fiber).
	11:55am phat in lincoln: I wish NRBQ would make it out to this part of the country.
	11:55am jeanne: Good for you @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 your mama must've loved you
	11:55am prof.fuzz: @Eddy: hell yeah.
	11:56am James in ATL: @phat in Lincoln - Agreed on NRBQ - would travel anywhere around the Southeast to see them.
	11:56am Hughie Considine: I wish I "ran" into Pat Priest.
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah so - Melodic Genius of Rawk~Pop 80 Today ...Thee Harmonic Genius - I mean Brian - 80 in two days. Just saw 'Long Promised Road'. Woosh. The Humanity.
	11:57am PaulRobeson1922: Rock & Roll, it was never new, it will never grow old!
	11:57am Squints: jeanne, that's weird. All my punk and new wave buddies were fine with Ultravox. Anybody who fell into the WLIR crowd. But I get what you mean. I do remember that I did bring my Monkees records up to college until halfway through my freshman year (1977). And it was somewhat an act of defiance.
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lennon made the point - they said Rawk'n'Roll wouldn't last from the beginning. So - a feature, not a bug...
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: In the 80s, Butch Patrick was in New Paltz to promote the opening of a party supplies store and I drove over there to get a picture with him.
	11:59am Paul in the OC: Bubble Gum/Cartoon music heroes discussion! Big vote here for the Lancelot Link Evolution Revolution Lp—excellent cuts and the title track is killer!
	12:00pm PuraVida: @Hughie Considine I'd want to meet Marilyn Munster too
	12:00pm myron feld: MS, my son is here and yelled out, "Me!" Thanks for thinking of him.
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: POP - you are here - ART
	12:00pm Squints: egould, with Rufus Thomas on yah t-shirt you'd almost have to be doing The Funky Chicken every single minute.
	12:00pm MrDeb: I also recall records in magazines? But can't recall what/where...potentially not music but educational? Anybody?
	12:00pm jeanne: @Squints...ah, WLIR, sweet memories are made....lol, good for you! I still have my Monkees singles.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: One of my earliest crushes, @PuraVida...she wasn't just pretty, she was kind and accepting of ugliness.
	12:02pm clarke: @Christina - in answer to your query, a friend of mine's older brother, when i was young, said to never be embarrassed if you like a tune - you like the tune! therefore, there are no guilty pleasures. no guilt.
	12:02pm G: And you don't mess around with Sam...
	12:02pm Squints: I did shed my Monkees LPs when Rhino did the CD remasters in the 1990s. They weren't really worth anything. I took care of my records within reason. But I played my records. A lot.
	12:02pm Eddy in Australia: @MrDeb Plenty of flexis in magazines: Mad ("Makin Out"!), Sassy, etc.
	12:03pm PuraVida: @Hughie Considine She's 87 now...
	12:03pm prof.fuzz: great philosophy of life and music, clarke
	12:03pm clarke: that said, i sometimes feel the need to explain my Billy Squier fascination.
	12:03pm Hughie Considine: The guilty pleasure idea stems partly from the Rock Critic autocracy we all grew up with. Rejecting Robert Christgau's proclamations was a huge step forward for me.
	12:03pm MrDeb: Also coming in late to the drug culture for kids discussion but...the Bugaloos? I looked their videos up recently. So weird. So acid-y. Plus why is the woman so sexy and wearing micro minis? On a show for kids? The 70s, man.
	12:03pm PuraVida: @clarke my HS yearbook quote was a Billy Squier lyric...
	12:04pm clarke: Christgau = broken clock - correct twice a day.
	12:04pm HyperDose: Had to look up "micro mini". Wasn't disappointed.
	12:04pm PatrickMC: Philippe Wynne preach it
	12:04pm Squints: Nuts. What's the Motown song they're calling back with that descending lick between verses here? Something by Marvin Gaye, I wanna say, but I can't place it.
	12:04pm prof.fuzz: saturday morning cartoons/kid shows in the 70s delivered.
	12:04pm clarke: @MrDeb - uhhh, what do you think Lidsville was designed for??
	12:05pm Squints: Yeah. She was the only think I liked about the Bugaloos.
	12:05pm MrDeb: @Eddy ahh maybe it was Mad as my brother and I were big fans. But what was on the records?
	12:05pm Hughie Considine: True, @Clarke,i just resented how often he crapped on a record I loved, and so smugly and obtusely.
	12:06pm Squints: As a father of daughters, I ask nicely that we not look "up" micro-minis. 8^)
	12:06pm PaulRobeson1922: A jack-beat boogie with a two-stroke roll It was never new, it will never grow old @Rev Rabbit1963: Paul McCartney’s new music (FIND MY WAY) sounds a lot more like John’s music. Paul is growing get yer guns
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Finally ...when working a CD Store in (class conscious) SantaBarbara ...starting talking to someone about something I liked - & prefaced it with 'I know some people don't like this' ...& realized I was doing that every time. Why bother ??
	12:06pm Moammar: First line of this Hi-Liners song is genius.
	12:06pm Squints: This is like The Romantics backing The Playmates. His horn went beep beep beep.
	12:06pm Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. Good to be here on the board and in NY.
	12:06pm G: @clarke: I owe you an email. I'm still in Portland OR; we're visiting Mary Ellen's daughter, and lots is going on. Back in New Orleans on Tuesday, and less overscheduled.
	12:06pm Moammar: *Hi-Risers
	12:06pm Michael Shelley: AGREE - good is good. No guilty pleasures!
	12:07pm Eddy in Australia: @MrDeb The one I remember (and still have) was a song called Makin Out - circa 75ish?
	12:07pm Squints: clarke and jeanne, that's one. Liking post-Piper Billy Squier always made me a little sheepish.
	12:08pm jeanne: @Michael Shelley, your show sets us free :)
	12:08pm Cooh John: Thought that sounded like the Hi Risers.👍
	12:08pm Frank In Queens: @MrDeb I loved the Bugaloos when I was a kid. I believe they played a major part in me becoming an anglophile.
	12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PaulR - yes, I think so! ...Maybe even he feel the responsibility like that...
	12:08pm myron feld: @Squints: yes, The Romantics! I couldn't think of what this reminded me of. It's "Talking In Your Sleep," right?
	12:09pm jeanne: Squints :) lol, yes
	12:09pm DanFA: Hello Michael Shelley.
	12:09pm clarke: @G - there's time!! have fun in portland. also, did you hear MS ask about any poker players out there?? mary ellen lissnin'??
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anglophile as in literally loving the English. Mod British Women. ...If one feels too Anglophiliac - I think I discovered the solution: Meet & speak with Irish people...
	12:10pm HyperDose: Lets get some more acts into White Eagle Hall. Really want to check out that venue
	12:11pm Squints: Myron, right. Later period That angular guitar thing, copped somewhat from Love Is The Drug. Although The Romantics could be plenty scrubby (e.g., What I Like About You.).
	12:11pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	12:11pm Moammar: We're veering into Harry Chapin territory here!
	12:11pm clarke: i think i AM in hermit existence, ha ha ha. and loving it!!
	12:12pm Tim from LH: Michael, I believe I saw the Hi-Risers down the shore in a brewery with you and your daughter and maybe 30 other people in attendance.
	12:12pm MrDeb: @Frank haaaaa! I still have my Bugaloos thermos but not the lunchbox, alas.
	12:12pm PaulRobeson1922: A true fine mama with a heart of gold It was never new, it will never grow old
	12:14pm clarke: RX baby!!!! yaaaah~!
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: 10/10!
	12:14pm Michael Shelley: Tim - was a GREAT SHOW!
	12:15pm MrDeb: @Eddy hmm...cursory search not turning up anything but thanks for the tip!
	12:16pm Tim from LH: Michael- yes indeed. I knew it was a rare show for them in this area and knew I had to go.
	12:16pm James in ATL: Michael, it shows how seriously you take your role as Dad. I wish everyone did that. Good job!
	12:17pm Squints: This Bobby Charles. GGY.
	12:17pm clarke: ggy!!
	12:18pm Squints: Wow. GGY aGAIN!
	12:19pm clarke: GGSq~~
	12:19pm Moammar: Deeply in favor of doing the mess-around. Will do it throughout the long weekend.
	12:19pm Squints: A soul chain reaction approaching critical mass.
	12:20pm clarke: @Squints: hey, who played at the melody tent this past week?? a friend said he was going but didn't say to what/who??
	12:21pm Eddy in Australia: @MrDeb Turns out it was 1978. Here you go: www.discogs.com...
	12:22pm clarke: hook-ridden loveliness!!
	12:22pm James in ATL: This Badfinger is in the running for my favorite song of all time.
	12:23pm clarke: i knew i liked you JinATL!!
	12:23pm jeanne: David "Dai" Jenkins awesome guitar
	12:23pm Squints: Wailers played there Thursday night, clarke. Got to confess I had to look it up. Flo & Eddie's Happy Together tour is there this coming week. But I've seen all those acts before. Lake Street Dive was earlier this week.
	12:24pm andy fuchs: Can't beat the Badfinger.....
	12:24pm Squints: When people ask me to define Power Pop, I point to No Matter What as the picture in the dictionary. The search for The Great Lost Badfinger Song.
	12:24pm clarke: hmm. i think this was tuesday. may have been a comedy act?? anyway, thnx!
	12:25pm Squints: This Floyd Dakin numbah is one whole lot of alright.
	12:25pm clarke: again... i could easily look up all this stuff. but, i got friends, see...??
	12:26pm Pedro in Arlington: Confessions of a cheaper dad: Took the kids to see Ringo a few years ago. Lawn tickets were almost free on Stubhub with a threat of rain. One of these days they'll appreciate Todd Rundgren being in the band. They also saw Dylan and Willie Nelson in a minor league park because kids got in free.
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.facebook.com...
	12:27pm Squints: Pedro: Dylan and Willie in 2009, maybe? Saw Willie/Mellencamp/Daylan at McCoy Field in Pawtucket that summer.
	12:29pm Andres: I have always wondered if record engineers/mixers would be upset to see the junk speakers that their hard work is being played on. That said, sorry, on phone speakers as I chore around from room to room.
	12:29pm prof.fuzz: "they even play our music..."
	12:29pm Squints: "They even play our music." That made me laugh.
	12:30pm prof.fuzz: @squints: likewise
	12:30pm bbxtina: that was a greta themesong
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oft repeated truism to try your mix on car speakers or the like...
	12:30pm egould: That was literally the coolest station ID, ever.
	12:30pm Squints: Ooh. Diggin' this. Marks. Not Marx. Although it's charming that that other guy seems to get the joke.
	12:31pm Listener John from NJ: 'Comin'on strong" is a B[lly Joe Shaver song, no?
	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TerreT's Bumpers on CherryBlossomClinic - recreations of various Classic Nuggets - blow my little mind every single time.
	12:31pm Squints: Get it on up.
	12:32pm Moammar: Still doing the mess-around.
	12:32pm clarke: attaboy!!
	12:33pm jeanne: @Squints saw that show at Bethel Woods -- was amazed how good Mellencamp was! not so much Dylan that day.
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Speaking of ClassicNuggets ...it's Kim gawdam Shattuck ...gawdammit.
	12:34pm andy fuchs: I made a station ID once..... :( lol
	12:35pm egould: Yeah Kim Shattuck. RIP.
	12:35pm MrDeb: @Pedro that's genius! @Eddy OMG a danceable pop song about how everybody else is makin'out except this guy.
	12:35pm rx scabin: The more of the Muffs that I hear the more that I like them.
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...covering Bowie with style & success. (!)
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: rx - precisely.
	12:36pm clarke: there are but four....
	12:36pm egould: Dave Davies sounds like a ghost. He’s a good Twitter follow. He’s funny as hell.
	12:37pm Squints: They don't SOUND small.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Life should be what the SmallFaces made it seem like. (Not what their BidnessDeals were...)
