Listener comments!
	9:57pm Julie: Okay I think we have stream...it was...not going before (fingers crossed i can connect)
	10:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Evening Huns ! ...def some DeepPurple fans here...
	10:03pm Julie: hiya Rev!
	10:03pm Mr Fab: Yo Julie! Haha Attila. Ridiculous, but the only Billy Joel album I've listened to.
	10:04pm Julie: hiya Mr Fab! The Hassles stuff is good too, actually.
	10:04pm Julie: it's kinda young rascals
	10:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whut ?! [squints @ album cover] ...haha !
	10:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...thot they night be DeepPurple from down South...
	10:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *fans...
	10:06pm Julie: there are deep purple fans in Long Island too
	10:08pm Mr Fab: Strange to think that, apparently at one point in his life, Billy Joel could actually rock out. Naturally, he disowns his early stuff.
	10:10pm Julie: the man hasn't released new music in over 20 years and still fills madison square garden on the regular
	10:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Quo's first album bitchen Freakbeatz ! ...& only two years after the Norman Conquest. That's longevity.
	10:14pm Robm: Evening fellow banana listeners One of my favorite billy joel songs is say goodbye to hollywood
	10:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh 1968. Well still. :D
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 P.P. Arnold
	10:16pm Robm: Hi julie
	10:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Plant & Page taking notes...
	10:17pm Julie: hiya Robm!
	10:17pm Julie: psychedelia from the 11th century that would be something
	10:17pm Scobot: Good evening, Julie! I just remembered that you declare this evening spot. May I hear some Donovan this evening. If not, Soanky and Our Gang? <——- That’s a stretch.
	10:18pm Julie: hiya Scobot! I try to always include Donovan!
	10:18pm Julie: I haven't played Spanky yet, will have to get them in next week I think
	10:19pm Scobot: You never disappoint, Julie.
	10:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good evening, Julie and Electric Bananaland.
	10:20pm Robm: Hey ken howdy
	10:21pm Julie: hiya Ken!
	10:26pm Mr Fab: Spanky and Our Gang - proof that great California sunshine pop doesn't necessarily have to come from California (see also The Free Design)
	10:27pm Mr Fab: wasn't John Kay still in Steppenwolf when he released that?
	10:29pm Julie: yeah that's a compilation that came out during Steppenwolf, the Sparrow stuff pre-dates that but I couldn't find a match for that particular song
	10:29pm Robm: Is it me or when anyone does a Beatles song it sounds better
	10:29pm Scobot: The Free Design! Such a shame they never had much of an audience in the US.
	10:30pm Scobot: You’re right, Robm!
	10:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CA Pop not all from CA - love that. Robm - I would say that's a blanket statement. :) The Fabs were pretty good with arrangement & performance & recording & a few things. However - more impressed with SandieShaw there than I'd'a guessed.
	10:31pm Robm: @Scobot glad i am not the only one who feels that way
	10:33pm Mr Fab: I liked that Sandie Shaw, def an improvement over the orig, but frankly "Love Me Do" is a pretty slight item in the Beatles catalogue.
	10:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho also - impressed with 'Love Me Do' from 1962 done up 1969 swinger stylee there. A good Cover may shine light on a composition from some dif angle. That was TheBeatles first single after all - still getting up to speed. Almost exactly 60 years ago now.
	10:35pm Robm: Thanks RRN63 @Mr.Fab i think it is just because i am so sick and tired od hearing the beatles
	10:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Saw Tori once in I dunno 1990 ? Someone shouted 'Y Can't Tori Read' !! She wasn't phased one iota. Just said - 'yeah - so what were you doing in 1982 [or whatever year it was]' ...total RawkStar...
	10:37pm Julie: there is one song from that album she has done live a few times.
	10:37pm Scobot: Fool on the Hill - Mendes and Brasil ‘66. Love that cover, Robm!
	10:37pm Mr Fab: Robm: my homie from KXLU, Senor Amor, also says every time he plays a Beatles cover, "always better than the original!" Still haven't heard a cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows " that beats the orig, tho, I will say that...
	10:37pm Julie: I do dig out the Beatles from time to time
	10:38pm Julie: Danielle Dax's version was excellent but it was pretty faithful to the original
	10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Truly - I prefer TheBeates' follow-up: 'Please Please Me' ! We might say they Progressed somewhat consistently & notably...
	10:38pm Julie: it gave her a hit in the US so I can't complain about that
	10:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even Beatles Tribute bands I've enjoyed ...yerknow what ? They got a far better P.A. System ...& had a lot longer to practice this ! :D Hawkwind ! Yay.
	10:40pm Robm: @Mr.Fab impressed by that, got to give kxlu a listen
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loved this podcast about a book SottWilliams panned : thestrangebrew.co.uk...
	10:43pm Robm: Guys it is just that the Beatles were over played And just how many times can you hear a hard day’s night before you want to throw the radio out?
	10:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I just have a far greater tolerance for TheBeatles is all it is ...genetic maybe.
	10:45pm Julie: when I play them I try to play songs of theirs I haven't heard a zillion times. I thought they were done surprising me but I was wrong.
	10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: For me - there aren't even ones I haven't heard a zillion times. Unless it's Solo Beatles. Always compare Musical diet to Food diet. Some things you could eat every day. Not only that - you sincerely hope...
	10:48pm Robm: I don’t mean to sound grumpy but I guess that i have not done a deep dive in the Beatles, guess i wii
	10:48pm Mike Sin: I’ve probably listened to Space Ritual just as much as I’ve listened to Sgt. Pepper — probably about 100,000 times each. That’s a lot of Psilocybin over the years.
	10:48pm Julie: Mike, you are more mushroom than man at this point. Also, great to see you here!
	10:49pm Robm: @RRN63 i prefer the Beatles solo stuff, a lot better IMOH
	10:50pm Scobot: I agree, Julie. I always scorned Sgt. Pepper’s until I listened to it recently. For me, now, I start with Revolver and move forward.
	10:50pm Mike Sin: I am pure fungus.
	10:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being of course Nuggets' Half Century today - we might note TheSeeds are one artist that wasn't remembered so much before that. Robm - we're just different this way. I been a Beatlefreak since their cartoon show in my toddlerhood in the late 1960s.
	10:51pm Mr Fab: I totally get it Robm. thanks to my hippie big sister, i listened to tons of Beatles/solo Bealtles growing up. They were my fave band. But by the time I was 15, I was pretty much done. I still love 'em, but burn-out is a real thing.
	10:52pm Julie: @mike sin you for sure are a fungi
	10:54pm Robm: @Mr.Fab thanks jyst when i say that on the other shows i get slammed like i am committing hearesy, so i am a little gun shy now
	10:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FunGuy def. They say fungi have more in common with us genetically than they do with plants. Now that's something to grapple with... KINKS.
	10:55pm Mike Sin: I look at this way. The Beatles transcend music — they are surely overplayed and in the veins of culture. But look at it like this, if “Good Morning, Good Morning” was cut by an unknown band and it languished on a reel of tape for 50 years, and then it was placed on a comp, and then started getting airplay on WFMU, we all be losing our minds.
	10:55pm Julie: now THESE guys I should be burnt out on and yet...have not
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I've got nothing to say. But it's okay. Village Green released same day as White Album. It's perfect. Don't know why it's not fawned over like PetSounds, ForeverChanges & Odessey & Oracle. It's one of those.
	10:57pm Robm: @Mike sin amen to that, between this station and a couple of others, my musical tastes have changed, no more commercial music radio for me with its SSDD
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe VillageGreen is not as sonically rich & adventurous as the others. Maybe it's more sober already by late '68. It's like ZiggyStardust - a concept & narrative in the widest & most free sense. Ray Writes nothing disposable there...
	11:01pm Scobot: Sometimes, Cale reminds me of a hybrid of Nilsson and Paul Williams. Honestly, I love that.
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ha ! I like that Scobot ...you wanna say somebody or something darker & more arch too ...but by the time put Harry & Paul together - you might actually have enuff of that...
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Cale with a transparent mask of himself...
	11:03pm Julie: that album cover creeps me out
	11:04pm Aitch: Back again, hey Julie and crew
	11:05pm Julie: howdy aitch!
	11:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think it's a great metaphor for something essential one gets off of Cale. Where is this fellow coming from...
	11:05pm Julie: headbanger comin, y'all
	11:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like Warhol screen tests : see how little you can express for how long...
	11:07pm Mr Fab: Whooooah, bringing out my Valley dude self here!
	11:08pm Julie: I'm not a big zeppelin fan but the ones I like I REALLY like
	11:08pm Mr Fab: Jimmy Page does not get enough props for his production skillz - that phased drumming is crucial.
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never fell in love with Zep like I did say TheWho. But ...these four together precisely was the right mix of chemicals alright.
	11:08pm Robm: Now Led Zeppelin i can hear all day long and never tire of their music One of my favorites is the rover
	11:09pm Julie: I did, however, see Lez Zeppelin a couple times because my friend sang lead with them and she gave Plant quite the run for his money
	11:10pm Julie: every teenager blaring this in 1975...must've been something
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Presumably learned off Eddie Kramer who worked with Hendrix & Zep. The drums is recorded good alright ! & the Drummers can't shut up about Bonzo. I'm listening ! Yeah Robm you take Zep & I'll have Beatles. All good. Too much trendy 70s & I shut down.
	11:11pm Robm: @Julie on youtube i have found a group called zepperala, they are a female version of Zeppelin and they are good
	11:12pm Julie: @rob that is what Lez Zeppelin are, I am not sure which came first
	11:12pm Robm: @RRN63 fair enough
	11:12pm Mr Fab: there's one called Lez Zeppelin
	11:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wait ...your friend sang with Zeppelin ?? I read that again & it still says that...
	11:12pm Julie: LEZ Zeppelin...all female version
	11:13pm Mr Fab: Drum roll thru phaser...NOW!
	11:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: OH. Gotcha. Well props to her.
	11:13pm Robm: @Julie will look up lez zeppelin on youtube
	11:14pm Julie: they've had a couple singers, Shannon Conley is the one I know
	11:14pm Scobot: I always return to Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull. I’ve always thought LZ sounded so sinister. Stoned or sober.
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KeithMoon was far more Creative. But you imagine what RawkDrums are supposed to sound like ...& you've got Bonzo in your head.
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...honestly I prefer Sabbath. But they idolized Zep as a matter of fact.
	11:19pm MHLee: I forgot about this
	11:19pm Julie: awww hiya MHLee!
	11:19pm Julie: am I gonna need to start a mailing?
	11:20pm MHLee: I missed all the Friday shows because I was at a Nick Mason concert
	11:20pm Julie: oooh! I'm going next week, how was it?
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tempted to say some chauvinist put her too far back in the mix. Seriously Julie - the Banana doesn't even have a fb page of it own ...course you got a few balls in the air then...
	11:21pm MHLee: Excellent. Some obscure Syd stuff and then basically 3 songs from every album pre-DSOTM
	11:22pm MHLee: With exception of more which only got 1
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MHLee way kewl. Glad to hear it.
	11:23pm MHLee: Always thought Kashmir bond-like
	11:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kashmir - MiddleEastern. Classical - yeah maybe. JohnPaulJones a great Arranger of course.
	11:24pm MHLee: I found a terrible version of it and sent it to Darryl to play on the world's worst records... what was the band name?
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Plant & Page did that tour with Strings & a MiddleEastern ensemble...
	11:27pm Mr Fab: MHLee, what city did you see Nick Mason?
	11:27pm MHLee: Pittsburgh
	11:27pm MHLee: Also the band has the lead from Spandau Ballet
	11:28pm MHLee: The awful version of Kashmir is by the band Gatsby. Thanks advanced search.
	11:29pm MHLee: I was telling this friend of mind that I keep telling myself to check out pre-1971 Elton John and then forget to because I've constantly blown away by the tracks on this
	11:30pm Julie: oh man the first two albums are so great...different..
	11:31pm Julie: Empty Sky is rawer, more 60s ish, Elton John (S/T) is more classic Elton but with orchestra
	11:31pm Julie: Empty Sky is oddly...dark
	11:32pm Julie: and harpsichord! It has harpsichord!
	11:33pm Scobot: Like clockwork, Julie. EJ at his finest.
	11:34pm Julie: seems elton got covid from the white house along with his medal.. but he swears he's better now and is back playing
	11:35pm MHLee: Glad to hear it
	11:38pm Julie: David wrote this with Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman who I think was a Byrd?
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: On behalf of the USA - our regrets Sir Elton. Hemmings all I'm on the Modal Chant. Ah the BYrdS. Hillman the original Bassist that's right. Also a Writer. Went on to Flying Burrito Brothers.
	11:40pm MHLee: Chris Hillman is the drummer. David Crobsy and McGuinn (in a period of thaw) a few years back said they'd reform the Byrds if Chris was on board
	11:40pm Julie: Hillman is supposedly playing bass on the Hemmings record
	11:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No, Michael Clarke was the original Drummer.
	11:41pm Julie: Chevy Chase on the drums here
	11:41pm MHLee: Then McGuinn told Croz that he was concerned for his soul and he should convert to Jesus publically on Twitter... and Croz blocked him... @REVRAB oops, yeah you're right... a bit before my time
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ! - surprised to hear McGuinn considered being with Crosby.
	11:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh figures. Eyeroll.
	11:45pm MHLee: I would 100% go to see a reformed byrds
	11:47pm Mr Fab: "McGuinn told Croz that he was concerned for his soul and he should convert to Jesus publically on Twitter... and Croz blocked him..." LOL!
	11:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's like seeing McGuinn solo was amazing. But c'mon Roger - you know who's high harmonies we wanna hear with that... Otoh - Crosby admits sadly that all the people he used to make music with won't talk to him. Crosby has been the Boomer Rawkstar Autobiography to ELEVEN. Maybe 12.
	11:49pm MHLee: Crosby and Nash have a bad relationship. I think he's on okay terms with Stills. THey both appear on David Gilmour's On an Island
	11:49pm Mr Fab: what a shock to find that Chamaeleon Church album in a thrift in the '90s, flip it over to look at the back, and there's Chevy Chase looking at me. Was NOT expecting that.
	11:50pm MHLee: In my vinyl collection world, I just got some promo Robyn Hitchcock vinyl that my college station never played and was going to donate.
	11:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: McGuinn & Crosby were like that from Day One tho, actually. Then in CSNY days Crosby was the ultimate Drug Addict - burned every bridge that got in the way of a fix. As in every single one.
	11:51pm Julie: wait all four of CSNY are alive, that's like so rare
	11:51pm Mr Fab: MHLee: what are they, NUTS?
	11:52pm Julie: MHLee the new one?
	11:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wait ...people collect Music ? You're joking - right ??...
	11:53pm Julie: shufflemania? I think that's the name of the new one
	11:54pm MHLee: No, these are 1980s. I got the Ghost In You and Elements of Light
	11:54pm MHLee: And an unplayed re-release of Queen Elvis. I might take all the played ones too.
	11:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean the University has to make every inch of real estate pay to the shareholders ...who has room for the RawkaRollaz...
	11:54pm Mike Sin: This show has been great… and that’s not the nitrous oxide talking.
	11:55pm MHLee: And yes, that's the new album. @Julie
	11:55pm Julie: oh wow good stuff. Thank you so much, Mike Sin.. this is more your wheelhouse than mine so it means a lot!
	11:55pm MHLee: Well we have a new building so stuff is getting sorted.
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Exactly.
	11:58pm Mr Fab: That's a score - some great stuff in Element of Light and Queen Elvis.
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Julie ~
	11:59pm Mr Fab: Wonderful wonderness tonight, Julie!
	11:59pm MHLee: Thanks Julie
	12:00am Julie: thanks so much everyone!
	12:01am Julie: goodnight!

	10:20pm Robm: Hey ken howdy
	10:21pm Julie: hiya Ken!

	10:35pm Robm: Thanks RRN63 @Mr.Fab i think it is just because i am so sick and tired od hearing the beatles
	10:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Saw Tori once in I dunno 1990 ? Someone shouted 'Y Can't Tori Read' !! She wasn't phased one iota. Just said - 'yeah - so what were you doing in 1982 [or whatever year it was]' ...total RawkStar...
	10:37pm Julie: there is one song from that album she has done live a few times.
	10:37pm Scobot: Fool on the Hill - Mendes and Brasil ‘66. Love that cover, Robm!
	10:37pm Mr Fab: Robm: my homie from KXLU, Senor Amor, also says every time he plays a Beatles cover, "always better than the original!" Still haven't heard a cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows " that beats the orig, tho, I will say that...
	10:37pm Julie: I do dig out the Beatles from time to time
	10:38pm Julie: Danielle Dax's version was excellent but it was pretty faithful to the original
	10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Truly - I prefer TheBeates' follow-up: 'Please Please Me' ! We might say they Progressed somewhat consistently & notably...
	10:38pm Julie: it gave her a hit in the US so I can't complain about that
	10:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even Beatles Tribute bands I've enjoyed ...yerknow what ? They got a far better P.A. System ...& had a lot longer to practice this ! :D Hawkwind ! Yay.
	10:40pm Robm: @Mr.Fab impressed by that, got to give kxlu a listen
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loved this podcast about a book SottWilliams panned : thestrangebrew.co.uk...
	10:43pm Robm: Guys it is just that the Beatles were over played And just how many times can you hear a hard day’s night before you want to throw the radio out?
	10:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I just have a far greater tolerance for TheBeatles is all it is ...genetic maybe.
	10:45pm Julie: when I play them I try to play songs of theirs I haven't heard a zillion times. I thought they were done surprising me but I was wrong.
	10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: For me - there aren't even ones I haven't heard a zillion times. Unless it's Solo Beatles. Always compare Musical diet to Food diet. Some things you could eat every day. Not only that - you sincerely hope...
	10:48pm Robm: I don’t mean to sound grumpy but I guess that i have not done a deep dive in the Beatles, guess i wii
	10:48pm Mike Sin: I’ve probably listened to Space Ritual just as much as I’ve listened to Sgt. Pepper — probably about 100,000 times each. That’s a lot of Psilocybin over the years.
	10:48pm Julie: Mike, you are more mushroom than man at this point. Also, great to see you here!
	10:49pm Robm: @RRN63 i prefer the Beatles solo stuff, a lot better IMOH
	10:50pm Scobot: I agree, Julie. I always scorned Sgt. Pepper’s until I listened to it recently. For me, now, I start with Revolver and move forward.
	10:50pm Mike Sin: I am pure fungus.
	10:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being of course Nuggets' Half Century today - we might note TheSeeds are one artist that wasn't remembered so much before that. Robm - we're just different this way. I been a Beatlefreak since their cartoon show in my toddlerhood in the late 1960s.
	10:51pm Mr Fab: I totally get it Robm. thanks to my hippie big sister, i listened to tons of Beatles/solo Bealtles growing up. They were my fave band. But by the time I was 15, I was pretty much done. I still love 'em, but burn-out is a real thing.
	10:52pm Julie: @mike sin you for sure are a fungi
	10:54pm Robm: @Mr.Fab thanks jyst when i say that on the other shows i get slammed like i am committing hearesy, so i am a little gun shy now
	10:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FunGuy def. They say fungi have more in common with us genetically than they do with plants. Now that's something to grapple with... KINKS.
	10:55pm Mike Sin: I look at this way. The Beatles transcend music — they are surely overplayed and in the veins of culture. But look at it like this, if “Good Morning, Good Morning” was cut by an unknown band and it languished on a reel of tape for 50 years, and then it was placed on a comp, and then started getting airplay on WFMU, we all be losing our minds.
	10:55pm Julie: now THESE guys I should be burnt out on and yet...have not
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I've got nothing to say. But it's okay. Village Green released same day as White Album. It's perfect. Don't know why it's not fawned over like PetSounds, ForeverChanges & Odessey & Oracle. It's one of those.
	10:57pm Robm: @Mike sin amen to that, between this station and a couple of others, my musical tastes have changed, no more commercial music radio for me with its SSDD
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe VillageGreen is not as sonically rich & adventurous as the others. Maybe it's more sober already by late '68. It's like ZiggyStardust - a concept & narrative in the widest & most free sense. Ray Writes nothing disposable there...
	11:01pm Scobot: Sometimes, Cale reminds me of a hybrid of Nilsson and Paul Williams. Honestly, I love that.
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ha ! I like that Scobot ...you wanna say somebody or something darker & more arch too ...but by the time put Harry & Paul together - you might actually have enuff of that...
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Cale with a transparent mask of himself...
	11:03pm Julie: that album cover creeps me out
	11:04pm Aitch: Back again, hey Julie and crew
	11:05pm Julie: howdy aitch!
	11:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think it's a great metaphor for something essential one gets off of Cale. Where is this fellow coming from...
	11:05pm Julie: headbanger comin, y'all
	11:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like Warhol screen tests : see how little you can express for how long...
	11:07pm Mr Fab: Whooooah, bringing out my Valley dude self here!
	11:08pm Julie: I'm not a big zeppelin fan but the ones I like I REALLY like
	11:08pm Mr Fab: Jimmy Page does not get enough props for his production skillz - that phased drumming is crucial.
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never fell in love with Zep like I did say TheWho. But ...these four together precisely was the right mix of chemicals alright.
	11:08pm Robm: Now Led Zeppelin i can hear all day long and never tire of their music One of my favorites is the rover
	11:09pm Julie: I did, however, see Lez Zeppelin a couple times because my friend sang lead with them and she gave Plant quite the run for his money
	11:10pm Julie: every teenager blaring this in 1975...must've been something
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Presumably learned off Eddie Kramer who worked with Hendrix & Zep. The drums is recorded good alright ! & the Drummers can't shut up about Bonzo. I'm listening ! Yeah Robm you take Zep & I'll have Beatles. All good. Too much trendy 70s & I shut down.
	11:11pm Robm: @Julie on youtube i have found a group called zepperala, they are a female version of Zeppelin and they are good
	11:12pm Julie: @rob that is what Lez Zeppelin are, I am not sure which came first
	11:12pm Robm: @RRN63 fair enough
	11:12pm Mr Fab: there's one called Lez Zeppelin
	11:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wait ...your friend sang with Zeppelin ?? I read that again & it still says that...
	11:12pm Julie: LEZ Zeppelin...all female version
	11:13pm Mr Fab: Drum roll thru phaser...NOW!
	11:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: OH. Gotcha. Well props to her.
	11:13pm Robm: @Julie will look up lez zeppelin on youtube
	11:14pm Julie: they've had a couple singers, Shannon Conley is the one I know
	11:14pm Scobot: I always return to Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull. I’ve always thought LZ sounded so sinister. Stoned or sober.
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KeithMoon was far more Creative. But you imagine what RawkDrums are supposed to sound like ...& you've got Bonzo in your head.
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...honestly I prefer Sabbath. But they idolized Zep as a matter of fact.
	11:19pm MHLee: I forgot about this
	11:19pm Julie: awww hiya MHLee!
	11:19pm Julie: am I gonna need to start a mailing?
	11:20pm MHLee: I missed all the Friday shows because I was at a Nick Mason concert
	11:20pm Julie: oooh! I'm going next week, how was it?
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tempted to say some chauvinist put her too far back in the mix. Seriously Julie - the Banana doesn't even have a fb page of it own ...course you got a few balls in the air then...
	11:21pm MHLee: Excellent. Some obscure Syd stuff and then basically 3 songs from every album pre-DSOTM
	11:22pm MHLee: With exception of more which only got 1
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MHLee way kewl. Glad to hear it.
	11:23pm MHLee: Always thought Kashmir bond-like
	11:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kashmir - MiddleEastern. Classical - yeah maybe. JohnPaulJones a great Arranger of course.
	11:24pm MHLee: I found a terrible version of it and sent it to Darryl to play on the world's worst records... what was the band name?
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Plant & Page did that tour with Strings & a MiddleEastern ensemble...
	11:27pm Mr Fab: MHLee, what city did you see Nick Mason?
	11:27pm MHLee: Pittsburgh
	11:27pm MHLee: Also the band has the lead from Spandau Ballet
	11:28pm MHLee: The awful version of Kashmir is by the band Gatsby. Thanks advanced search.
	11:29pm MHLee: I was telling this friend of mind that I keep telling myself to check out pre-1971 Elton John and then forget to because I've constantly blown away by the tracks on this
	11:30pm Julie: oh man the first two albums are so great...different..
	11:31pm Julie: Empty Sky is rawer, more 60s ish, Elton John (S/T) is more classic Elton but with orchestra
	11:31pm Julie: Empty Sky is oddly...dark
	11:32pm Julie: and harpsichord! It has harpsichord!
	11:33pm Scobot: Like clockwork, Julie. EJ at his finest.
	11:34pm Julie: seems elton got covid from the white house along with his medal.. but he swears he's better now and is back playing
	11:35pm MHLee: Glad to hear it
	11:38pm Julie: David wrote this with Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman who I think was a Byrd?
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: On behalf of the USA - our regrets Sir Elton. Hemmings all I'm on the Modal Chant. Ah the BYrdS. Hillman the original Bassist that's right. Also a Writer. Went on to Flying Burrito Brothers.
	11:40pm MHLee: Chris Hillman is the drummer. David Crobsy and McGuinn (in a period of thaw) a few years back said they'd reform the Byrds if Chris was on board
	11:40pm Julie: Hillman is supposedly playing bass on the Hemmings record
	11:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No, Michael Clarke was the original Drummer.
	11:41pm Julie: Chevy Chase on the drums here
	11:41pm MHLee: Then McGuinn told Croz that he was concerned for his soul and he should convert to Jesus publically on Twitter... and Croz blocked him... @REVRAB oops, yeah you're right... a bit before my time
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ! - surprised to hear McGuinn considered being with Crosby.
	11:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh figures. Eyeroll.
	11:45pm MHLee: I would 100% go to see a reformed byrds
	11:47pm Mr Fab: "McGuinn told Croz that he was concerned for his soul and he should convert to Jesus publically on Twitter... and Croz blocked him..." LOL!
	11:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's like seeing McGuinn solo was amazing. But c'mon Roger - you know who's high harmonies we wanna hear with that... Otoh - Crosby admits sadly that all the people he used to make music with won't talk to him. Crosby has been the Boomer Rawkstar Autobiography to ELEVEN. Maybe 12.
	11:49pm MHLee: Crosby and Nash have a bad relationship. I think he's on okay terms with Stills. THey both appear on David Gilmour's On an Island
	11:49pm Mr Fab: what a shock to find that Chamaeleon Church album in a thrift in the '90s, flip it over to look at the back, and there's Chevy Chase looking at me. Was NOT expecting that.
	11:50pm MHLee: In my vinyl collection world, I just got some promo Robyn Hitchcock vinyl that my college station never played and was going to donate.
	11:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: McGuinn & Crosby were like that from Day One tho, actually. Then in CSNY days Crosby was the ultimate Drug Addict - burned every bridge that got in the way of a fix. As in every single one.
	11:51pm Julie: wait all four of CSNY are alive, that's like so rare
	11:51pm Mr Fab: MHLee: what are they, NUTS?
	11:52pm Julie: MHLee the new one?
	11:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wait ...people collect Music ? You're joking - right ??...
	11:53pm Julie: shufflemania? I think that's the name of the new one
	11:54pm MHLee: No, these are 1980s. I got the Ghost In You and Elements of Light
	11:54pm MHLee: And an unplayed re-release of Queen Elvis. I might take all the played ones too.
	11:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean the University has to make every inch of real estate pay to the shareholders ...who has room for the RawkaRollaz...
	11:54pm Mike Sin: This show has been great… and that’s not the nitrous oxide talking.
	11:55pm MHLee: And yes, that's the new album. @Julie
	11:55pm Julie: oh wow good stuff. Thank you so much, Mike Sin.. this is more your wheelhouse than mine so it means a lot!
	11:55pm MHLee: Well we have a new building so stuff is getting sorted.
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Exactly.
	11:58pm Mr Fab: That's a score - some great stuff in Element of Light and Queen Elvis.
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Julie ~
	11:59pm Mr Fab: Wonderful wonderness tonight, Julie!
	11:59pm MHLee: Thanks Julie
	12:00am Julie: thanks so much everyone!
	12:01am Julie: goodnight!
