	3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	🥁 3:04pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. I saw a brief moment of Joni Mitchell on Elton John's podcast thing. Why does he wear a jacket with his name on it? (answers on a postcard to....)

	3:19pm Webhamster Henry: Hey Larry Gary played that eponymous Gal Costa album yesterday on Bodega Pop: www.wfmu.org...
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: Hi Yetz!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: Hey Henry! Did Gary play the whole album?
	3:23pm Erica: Hi Yetz. That is so cool to live near Dusty Groove.
	3:23pm Phillippe: 'sup coel?
	3:23pm coelacanth∅: i discovered tropicalia in the '80s reading shanachie records catalogue review for "estrangiero". got the cassette and that was that. great album, and partly in english.
	🥁 3:27pm Brian in UK: The Chiffons singing My Sweet Lord is funny & understandable.
	3:28pm coelacanth∅: ...those shanachie catalogues were great for that. very honest and nearly non-biased reviews. i bought hundreds of albums from them every year or 2 in the 80s & 90s, mostly stuff i'd never heard before
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: I have a version My Sweet Lord that by the Belmonts (minus Dion) that mixes in some of the source material...
	🥁 3:31pm Brian in UK: Dion is the Florida governors middle name. Just saying.
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: DeSantis? Fuck that guy...
	3:34pm Phillippe: that first chad mitchell song was great!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: @WR - Here you go. Written by Jake Holmes, originally recorded by the Four Seasons
	🥁 3:34pm Brian in UK: Larry, have you seen the Democrats anti trump ad. More like the Lincoln Project than the Lincoln Project.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: @Phillippe - That was originally done by Jim and Jean
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Not sure which one you're talking about.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: Let's not talk about that bunghole, please...
	3:36pm coelacanth∅: which bunghole? they're all bungholes!
	🥁 3:36pm WR: There's the title, Genuine Imitation Life, still trying to put it together here.
	3:37pm Yetz: @Erica: It gets a bit expensive!
	3:37pm Phillippe: Thanks Larry! I'll hunt down the original
	3:37pm Erica: @Larry You mean the Orange Cheeto? Then yes let's not.
	🥁 3:37pm Brian in UK: My apologies. We have enough of our own arseholes over here to keep us restless.
	3:38pm Phillippe: If we just say Florida Man a number of our bases will be covered
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - It's OK, but for at least these two hours each week I'd rather talk about music
	3:38pm StringOFperils: While we still can.
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: Hey String!
	🥁 3:40pm Brian in UK: Larry, sorry. It was the mention of Dion that triggered my freeform mind.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: Not a problem!
	3:41pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi String!
	3:41pm trigger∅: Dion Dionne ion scion din din done
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: BTW the picture at the top of the playlist is Chad Mitchell, from the cover of this album
	3:42pm StringOFperils: Hi Larry! Hi Andrew! Hi everybody!
	3:42pm coelacanth∅: hey stringO!
	🥁 3:42pm Brian in UK: Was there a Chad Mitchell Trio or am I imagining that.
	3:43pm Andrew in Toronto: Hey String, Bert is alive and well. You should come out sometime and hang with us.
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - There was, which continued without him when he went solo. He was replaced by John Denver
	3:43pm Andrew in Toronto: Larry, what`s the story behind this lp please?
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: @Andrew - I'll elaborate at the break
	3:44pm Phillippe: Hunted on YouTube. Apparently the Chad Mitchell Trio played with Roger McGuin once uponna
	3:45pm Erica: Just found it's the birthday of the late Gene Clark
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: Happy Birthday Gene!
	3:46pm StringOFperils: Thanks Andrew, I will, one of these days...I really needed to be alone the last couple of years, just kind of fed up....but I need to get out more, no doubt about it. And it's refreshing to talk to people who know and care about music which, for the most part, other than here, I don't have.
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: Pat Boone covering Tim Buckley, you say!?!
	3:47pm Andrew in Toronto: No kidding! Happy birthday Gene!
	3:47pm Andrew in Toronto: String, I`m in the same boat as you. Bless all of WFMU.org!
	🥁 3:47pm Brian in UK: Tried to enjoy Tim Buckley but he was one of the Elektra roster that eluded me.
	🥁 3:48pm WR: Bizarre to hear Boone singing this Buckley song.
	3:48pm coelacanth∅: i had not imagined myself clickystarring a Pat Boone song
	3:48pm Andrew in Toronto: This is a pretty great version of :Song of the Siren" as done by Bryan Ferry: www.youtube.com...
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Dig the next few songs, from his first album, much more folk rock than his other stuff
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: The Pat Boone album is wild. I'll talk about it during the break.
	3:49pm StringOFperils: I recall buying my copy of Goodbye and Hello from the aforementioned Bert, coincidentally.
	3:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Tim was huge at Vortex.
	3:51pm Andrew in Toronto: The wild Pat Boone lp sounds confounding.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: It is, and he never did anything remotely like it again
	🥁 4:03pm Brian in UK: Jac Holzman on Tim Buckley's Goodbye & Hello "I listened to it over & over. If I was down I would play it & it would lift me. And as an artist to sign - so gifted, so original, the talent & vision still unfolding".
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: Buckley gets very intense and melodramatic at times, but I've come to like his stuff a lot over the years, with a couple of exceptions. I dig that first LP a lot
	🥁 4:08pm Brian in UK: Kind of hearing Harry Chapin especially with the arrangements.
	4:08pm Andrew in Toronto: @Brian Good call.
	4:09pm MikeSchaefer: I've loved "Echo Park" since I first heard it on 99X in late '69. Never knew who wrote it until now!
	4:09pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Definitely a singer from the same side of the street
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: i get heavy bee gees vibes from this. for me that's not a compliment! (no offense to bee gees likers or bee gees)
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike! It's a Buzz Clifford song, covered by Keith Barbour
	🥁 4:10pm Brian in UK: Still feel sad about Harry's demise. A decent man.
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: This one is a cover of a John Buck Wilkin song I've played on the show a few times
	🥁 4:19pm Brian in UK: Has there ever been a Hollies tribute on this station? It would not go amiss.
	🥁 4:19pm Yvang: Wow! Beautiful set!!! and Hello Larry & testifyers!
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: Hey Yvang! Thanks!
	4:20pm Erica: I've never heard this version of The Air That I Breathe before (that I can remember).
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I'd do one!
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Wait'll you hear who worked on it!
	4:21pm StringOFperils: There has been no end of tribute, in general, to The Hollies on WFMU, and small wonder. Gaylord is a massive fan. Bob Irwin (Big Planet Noise) also a huge champion of The Hollies. I won't go on...
	4:21pm coelacanth∅: i'm sure Bob & Gina have dedicated whole sets or 1/2 shows to the hollies
	4:22pm coelacanth∅: Erica - the original version
	4:22pm StringOFperils: p.s. Every time I listen to I'm Alive by The Hollies, I almost fall off my chair.
	4:24pm coelacanth∅: elephant mountain is all good
	🥁 4:24pm Brian in UK: StringOFperils these shows are bad timing for me over here. There is only so much archive you can cover.
	4:24pm Erica: @coel I recall hearing the Albert Hammond version before and it's not really memorable.
	4:26pm coelacanth∅: i...think i agree with you Erica? i've heard it, and i don't remember it, so i guess so!
	4:28pm StringOFperils: @BrianUK > I know what you mean.
	🥁 4:30pm Brian in UK: Listen to the bass.
	🥁 4:32pm Brian in UK: Joe Osborn. Larry you just made an old man happy.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure!
	4:33pm MikeSchaefer: Sean Penn wanted to star in a Phil Ochs biopic years ago, until he got too old. I think Paul Dano would make a good Phil.
	4:33pm Andrew in Toronto: Joe Osborne works wonders on the Chad Mitchell record.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - I agree!
	4:33pm coelacanth∅: oh, Albert Hammond...thinking Phil Everly did it first because his has the arrangement the hollies recycled -very nicely.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: Hammond wrote it
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: right... totally forgot
	🥁 4:35pm Brian in UK: MikeSchaefer Phil will never get old, sad to say. Yes Sean Penn would do the job right.
	🥁 4:37pm Brian in UK: This connection is understandable. Did Jim teach Phil guitar?
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: Jim and Jean both went to college with Ochs. They were great friends.
	4:39pm fredr: Hey Larry! Very nice show today
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: Hi fred! Thanks!
	4:40pm djnogoodnick: Sounding great, Larry!
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: This may be the deepest, trippiest "easy listening" record ever
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned for Nogood Nick at 5! wfmu.org...
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Hi Nick!
	🥁 4:45pm WR: Lots of "sets" of Hollies in various WFMU programs, here's a special from 2020 with Bobby Elliott as guest on Todd-Phonic Todd' program. www.wfmu.org...
	4:47pm Harro Julius: Especially enjoyed “ The air that I breathed “, was a hit for the Hollies in Europe. Greetings from Hamburg/Germany. Keep on playing the wrird and the wonderful!
	🥁 4:47pm Brian in UK: Poor young Bobby, had to wear a hat & a syrup because of hair loss back then. Not a good pop star look.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Great drummer though!
	🥁 4:48pm Brian in UK: Thanks WR. It is all out there on the archives.
	🥁 4:49pm Brian in UK: Larry, oh yes, top notch group (this was before bands!!)
	4:49pm Andrew in Toronto: Superb show! Thanks Larry!
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Andrew!
	4:51pm Erica: Very strange, yet relaxing show today Larry.
	🥁 4:52pm Brian in UK: My one 'gripe' about the archives is that you cannot help but see what is coming. Nothing like the surprise that the DJ gives you. Thanks Mr DJ.
	🥁 4:55pm Yvang: Thanks Larry! Easy but essential listening!
	4:55pm StringOFperils: Thank you, Larry. That was an interesting listen.
	4:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	4:55pm Phillippe: Thanks Larry!

	🥁 4:56pm WR: Thank you Larry, very interesting episode.
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: You too, Erica!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR!
	4:57pm Erica: 👍
	4:57pm Webhamster Henry: I'm always up for Gal Costa, Phil Ochs, and Rod McKuen Testifyin'
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Henry!
	5:03pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! enjoy your time away
	7:02pm Funky16Corners: Thanks C!

	4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Wait'll you hear who worked on it!
	4:21pm StringOFperils: There has been no end of tribute, in general, to The Hollies on WFMU, and small wonder. Gaylord is a massive fan. Bob Irwin (Big Planet Noise) also a huge champion of The Hollies. I won't go on...
	4:21pm coelacanth∅: i'm sure Bob & Gina have dedicated whole sets or 1/2 shows to the hollies
	4:22pm coelacanth∅: Erica - the original version
	4:22pm StringOFperils: p.s. Every time I listen to I'm Alive by The Hollies, I almost fall off my chair.
	4:24pm coelacanth∅: elephant mountain is all good
	🥁 4:24pm Brian in UK: StringOFperils these shows are bad timing for me over here. There is only so much archive you can cover.
	4:24pm Erica: @coel I recall hearing the Albert Hammond version before and it's not really memorable.
	4:26pm coelacanth∅: i...think i agree with you Erica? i've heard it, and i don't remember it, so i guess so!
	4:28pm StringOFperils: @BrianUK > I know what you mean.
	🥁 4:30pm Brian in UK: Listen to the bass.
	🥁 4:32pm Brian in UK: Joe Osborn. Larry you just made an old man happy.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure!
	4:33pm MikeSchaefer: Sean Penn wanted to star in a Phil Ochs biopic years ago, until he got too old. I think Paul Dano would make a good Phil.
	4:33pm Andrew in Toronto: Joe Osborne works wonders on the Chad Mitchell record.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - I agree!
	4:33pm coelacanth∅: oh, Albert Hammond...thinking Phil Everly did it first because his has the arrangement the hollies recycled -very nicely.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: Hammond wrote it
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: right... totally forgot
	🥁 4:35pm Brian in UK: MikeSchaefer Phil will never get old, sad to say. Yes Sean Penn would do the job right.
	🥁 4:37pm Brian in UK: This connection is understandable. Did Jim teach Phil guitar?
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: Jim and Jean both went to college with Ochs. They were great friends.
	4:39pm fredr: Hey Larry! Very nice show today
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: Hi fred! Thanks!
	4:40pm djnogoodnick: Sounding great, Larry!
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: This may be the deepest, trippiest "easy listening" record ever
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned for Nogood Nick at 5! wfmu.org...
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Hi Nick!
	🥁 4:45pm WR: Lots of "sets" of Hollies in various WFMU programs, here's a special from 2020 with Bobby Elliott as guest on Todd-Phonic Todd' program. www.wfmu.org...
	4:47pm Harro Julius: Especially enjoyed “ The air that I breathed “, was a hit for the Hollies in Europe. Greetings from Hamburg/Germany. Keep on playing the wrird and the wonderful!
	🥁 4:47pm Brian in UK: Poor young Bobby, had to wear a hat & a syrup because of hair loss back then. Not a good pop star look.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Great drummer though!
	🥁 4:48pm Brian in UK: Thanks WR. It is all out there on the archives.
	🥁 4:49pm Brian in UK: Larry, oh yes, top notch group (this was before bands!!)
	4:49pm Andrew in Toronto: Superb show! Thanks Larry!
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Andrew!
	4:51pm Erica: Very strange, yet relaxing show today Larry.
	🥁 4:52pm Brian in UK: My one 'gripe' about the archives is that you cannot help but see what is coming. Nothing like the surprise that the DJ gives you. Thanks Mr DJ.
	🥁 4:55pm Yvang: Thanks Larry! Easy but essential listening!
	4:55pm StringOFperils: Thank you, Larry. That was an interesting listen.
