	11:07am clarke: with all my conniving ways, i cannot get TCM. of course, i have seen UY countless times, but i love TCM when i can get it.
	11:10am P-90: Here’s to a Bob & Johnny New Year
	11:10am clarke: @Squints - plans? (nye)
	11:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ P-90 @11:10 Or "bonny" as the Scots would have it.
	11:11am clarke: how wuzz last nite Handy?
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Great, clarke! C&K and Oof both sounded excellent. And cheap beers!
	11:12am pgalub: Morning Michael and everyone! JAAAAACK! Handy! clarke!
	11:13am clarke: well, now. well, now!!
	11:13am Squints: My plans just now are to wrangle my router. (Listening on my phone pending that.) She and I will get out but will probably be in by 9. No Everlys or Rick Nelson mishaps for us.
	11:13am clarke: 'ello petaaah
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Pete!
	11:14am P-90: Can’t top Les and Mary
	11:14am clarke: watts up in Galub Land?
	11:15am Squints: annnnnnnd we're back.
	11:15am KWilde: @Handy - that was some crazy stuff Micah was spinning!
	11:15am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:13 wow, i recall driving to new orleans from baton rouge when they announced Rick Nelson's plane crash - U-turn, go back home.
	11:15am Michael Shelley: ↳ KWilde @11:15 !
	11:15am onthetrain: It was les Paul’s arm not his finger !
	11:15am clarke: there he is!
	11:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I Ain't Got Nobody" by "Les Paul And Mary Ford" Loves Les&Mary Back to the Future ! ...Broke his whole arm I think - & had the cast set in strumming position.
	11:16am Listener Baby: Was his right arm, Baby
	11:16am onthetrain: Amazing how he was able to play !
	11:16am gf2002: Les was in a terrible car accident and the doctors said they may need to amputate his arm. Les demanded they set his arm in a way that he could still play guitar. True story!
	11:16am Handy Haversack: ↳ KWilde @11:15 Just your standard kids radio fare. I assume.
	11:16am onthetrain: Mike are we ending with ! For some reason !!!
	11:16am myron feld: Actually, you playing LP & MF got me searching for references to them living in Jackson Heights, the land of my upbringing. I found this quote from an interview: "In 1941, I stuck my hand in the transmitter of an illegal radio station I had made in my basement in Jackson Heights. I was nearly electrocuted. That accident ended my career for a year."
	11:17am P-90: Les broke his right arm in a car wreck and was told it would have limited mobility, he worked out with the surgeon that it would be set at the most favorable angle for guitar playing.
	11:17am Cooh John: I know how Brendan feels. ❤️ YOU JENNY!
	11:17am Peter Horvath: Ahoy Michael and all the #1’ers. Happy Saturday!
	11:18am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:15 oh, gosh. I was thinking more about making dads mad. 8^) Of course now I've been (grand)dad for a while now.
	11:19am clarke: wow - no pub crawwwl for you
	11:19am Squints: ↳ myron feld @11:16 Jackson Heights? Car 54 Where Are You?
	11:20am clarke: oooh...oooh!! toooodie!!
	11:20am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:19 I didn't say THAT. Just gittin' 'er done before the rookies take over.
	11:20am P-90: Yes, Les had some limited mobility in that arm, but he could eat, drink beer, sign autographs, all the important things
	11:20am Frank In Queens: HEEEEEYYYYYYYYY NOOOOOOWWWWWWWW
	11:21am berbo: Spent quite a few christmases ast Grandma's house in Linden.
	11:21am clarke: what's on TAP, Frank??
	11:21am phat in lincoln: Those bah-bah-bah-bahs sound like VU backups.
	11:21am clarke: a few drum muffs - love 'em
	11:22am gf2002: I'm hoping UPS arrives soon with my 1400 pounds of aquamarine colored gravel.
	11:22am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:20 Oh MY!
	11:22am Bob: So what I thought was a a cold a few weeks ago turned out to be Covid. After three years of carefully avoiding it, and still being just about the most cautious person I know, I managed to get it. It was a shock to me. I've had every possible vaccination and have still been masking. Nevertheless, it messed up our Christmas. I never even got a temperature and thankfully didn't get very sick at all. My wife got it a little worse. My sense is that this latest version is milder but far more contagious. So be careful out there!
	11:22am clarke: me, too!! and some rope!
	11:23am StuartR: Number 1s for New Years, then 2023. A Johnny Cash grandson cover of Merle Haggard 👍
	11:23am clarke: @Bob - happens to the worst of us! hope it is lite and passes quickly.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Oof, sorry to hear it, Bob. Glad it was mild, though.
	11:24am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:21 Not sure yet. I only woke up 20 minutes ago!
	11:24am clarke: however, the post-covid is not great - not horrible, but not great.
	11:24am clarke: that's a good plan, so far, Frank!!
	11:25am P-90: And yeah, Les and Mary lived in what they called “The House that Capitol Built” in Mahwah, Les lived there after the divorce, and for the rest of his life. I believe Les’s girlfriend still lives there.
	11:25am Handy Haversack: I have missed Wake all week long. Staycation! Sleeping till 9 every day.
	11:25am myron feld: ↳ Squints @11:19 Squints: one and the same. Very exciting for a young myron to hear his neighborhood mentioned in such a great song.
	11:26am clarke: NYE nachos!!!
	11:26am love2laf: ↳ Bob @11:22 Very sorry to hear your Christmas was a Covid one, but glad to hear you're on the mend.
	11:26am paul: Chinese food, football and whisky.
	11:26am Hoboken Jack: Happy PEEEETE Year!!
	11:26am Greg from ZONE 5: I will be celebrating New Year's with 6 hrs of radio (that I have been shamelessly promoting on other DJs' playlists!)
	11:27am love2laf: Patak's Lime Pickle minced and added to salsa, any salsa, even jarred, will bring amazing flavour.
	11:27am P-90: Les Paul loved nachos too
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:25 i enjoyed Mister Shelley's fill-in on Wake - whatever day that was...
	11:27am Tome: { big smoker just don't do meat }
	11:27am phat in lincoln: Probably gonna hit the Zoo Bar for an early show of the fabulous Bel Airs from Columbia, MO. No idea what I'm doing late.
	11:27am Leslie Karon: Glass Onion
	11:28am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:26 Thank you for your service, Greg!
	11:28am John L: Take out and movies. Got a Vincent Price box set for Christmas, and nothing says Happy New Year like The Masque of the Red Death.
	11:28am Kotzwinkled: A terrifice NYE movie watch is the Coen Bros HUDSUCKER PROXY.
	11:28am Handy Haversack: We always go to dinner at our favorite place, which is walking distance, over the bridge and back. And then we'll finish out the year deep in ZONE 5!
	11:28am clarke: nice, Phat!! stay warm!!
	11:28am phat in lincoln: @Greg from ZONE 5 damn, 6 hours. I may check in.
	11:29am P-90: Yes, Michael’s Wake fill-in was masterful. Started my day on a real “up” note.
	11:29am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:28 The word "hero" gets thrown around a lot these days…
	11:29am clarke: i'll probably be in Zone 5 for a while - there's a decent football match-up tonight.
	11:29am phat in lincoln: @clarke you probably know the Bel Airs!
	11:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:29 Sometimes there's a man ... !
	11:30am Bob: Thanks for the well wishin.' We work in the public schools and I just think the return to school is going to be difficult. Maybe the biggest spike we've seen yet. I hope I'm wrong. Just be extra careful for the next month, folks.
	11:30am Hoboken Jack: I will be at Pet Shop in JC where Todd-o-Phonic and Dangerous Dave will be spinning between bands.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:29 they were not active when i lived in CoMo - met one of the guys, tho.
	11:31am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Tramp" by "Lowell Fulsom" Gotta be one of the most heavily sampled songs in history. De La, Cypress Hill, Redman, Wu-Tang…
	11:31am clarke: Panther Burns opened with Tramp every time i saw 'em
	11:31am nycmusicnerd: Hoping to do the 20-minute hike to the laundromat after the show. Then I hope to come home and collapse for the remainder of the day.
	11:32am Gary: I second Glass Onion for NYE
	11:32am clarke: laundry? come on, now!!
	11:32am Montmaster J: Re: Movie....Tar was very good.....best we've seen in a while.
	11:32am kevino: Raina is making a cheese cake now , and later, I am making Coq Au Vin. probably be in bed by 10. Kool Yule to all!
	11:32am P-90: Cool to see that Greg will be literally straddling the midnight hour on New Year’s Eve
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NYE & St.Patrick's - two days to stay away from the Pub far as I'm concerned ...& that was before a Tripledemic.
	11:32am clarke: i liked Glass Onion - enjoyable romp.
	11:33am prof.fuzz: morning y'all clarkEEEEE
	11:33am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:32 Agreed. Add Halloween.
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:32 ...was never in the tuxedos & cocaine class. But you knew that...
	11:34am Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @11:33 Amateur nights. Yup. We professional drinkers need quiet to concentrate!
	11:34am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!
	11:34am Listener Baby: Sounds like Nick Lowe 1978
	11:35am johnk77: happy holidaze w/skinny spliff
	11:35am prof.fuzz: hey handy!
	11:35am Handy Haversack: prof.fuzz!
	11:35am Bob: Glass Onion was good. Janelle Monae was a nice surprise. I didn't think I liked her but she was good. Need some suggestions though. We have no idea what to watch over the next week on break. Liked Banshees too. Dark.
	11:35am clarke: every night is amateur nite on bourbon street.
	11:36am annette: happy NYE all. while glass balls are falling, look up to yeungling brewery. pottsville ,pa. they RAISE the beer bottle !!!! raise a Yay
	11:36am P-90: I like charitable euphemisms like “guys who are not natural singers”
	11:36am paul: Blue Swede, not Suede.
	11:36am Handy Haversack: We watched Smile, which was well done and disturbing. X was also pretty good.
	11:36am Fuzzy: Wrecking Crew Ho!
	11:37am clarke: @Bob - i just re-watched Jeremiah Johnson and The Great Waldo Pepper - both stand up pretty well.
	11:37am Roger: The "sitar" hooked me on this one way back when.
	11:37am Rick from SC: ↳ Song: "Hooked On A Feeling" by "B.J. Thomas" A classic
	11:37am Bob: Clarke, two big childhood favorites there!
	11:37am gf2002: Nothing says festive like the Coral electric sitar
	11:37am Squints: ↳ paul @11:36 bort bort bort
	11:38am clarke: yeah, give 'em another try!
	11:38am johnk77: any glisteners checking out nyc#1 recreational & legal dispensary? high school season1 is good on amazon prime
	11:38am paul: ↳ Squints @11:37 Gort
	11:38am clarke: spoiler alert, ha ha: the indian attack montage in JJ - wow.
	11:39am shnook on a ceiling: ↳ Song: "Hooked On A Feeling" by "B.J. Thomas" I'll take an electric sitar over an ooga chaka any day
	11:39am Frank In Queens: Handy, how did K8's show go last night?
	11:39am Squints: ↳ Song: "Do You Wanna Dance?" by "Cliff Richard" C'mon pretty baby let's a-move and a-groove it.
	11:39am Ramona: Great to hear Hooked on a Feeling classic:-)
	11:39am Greg from ZONE 5: I LOVED Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. (That said, Hudsucker is in fact the perfect NYE pick.)
	11:39am Johnny Shanks: Back of the station wagon music, yes! Palisades Park, Indian Lake, Western Union!! Mom would turn off Tommy James, way to 'suggestive'!!!
	11:40am Corey: Thought that was JD McPherson Band for a second. The modern sounds of Cliff Richard.
	11:40am berbo: This Ramones cover is kinda groovy.
	11:40am Kotzwinkled: THANK you, Greg. Everyone should be blessed enough to ring in the new year with screwball-mode Jennifer Jason Leigh.
	11:41am gf2002: There is a rumor that the "ooga chaka" chant was "borrowed" from Brian Wilson's unreleased Smile chants after someone involved with the Blue Swede record heard the Smile tapes, well before they leaked. Probable!
	11:42am Squints: Nub da bubble.
	11:42am ?: i love this song!!
	11:42am John L: The Apartment might be my favorite film with a NYE scene; it's also one of my top 20 films of all time.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Real good, Frank! Crowds were a little sparse. But C&K and Oof pair really well and both sounded great. To clear out some C&K merch, I was instructed to think of a game. So I brought some dice (twenty-siders, of course) and let people roll to get free or discounted stuff: 15+: Free LP, T-shirt, or CD; 10+: Free shirt or CD; 5+: Free CD; 1-5: $5 off anything. It was a smash hit! One guy was all, "I just have a gambling problem -- this is so exciting!" Full agreement here.
	11:42am Bob: I liked the weird new Pinocchio. I haven't heard anyone talking about it. It was interesting.
	11:42am paul: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:40 Just watched JJL in the Machinist. She's always good.
	11:42am phat in lincoln: Ah, so the new commenting situation doesn't happen on the woof moo app.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: Yes, I really enjoyed Slow Horses.
	11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:42 Great to hear. And that's a good idea for moving merch out!
	11:43am Montmaster J: Loved the first season of Slow Horses...
	11:43am P-90: It’s not a proper Goat Cheese Salad until it’s hit the floor
	11:43am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:42 That's a cool idea, Handy. I like that!
	11:43am clarke: sometimes, there's a man...
	11:43am FletcherNYC: The first season of slow horses was amazing! I haven’t seen the second season yet
	11:43am myron feld: Slow Horses is very popular in this home.
	11:43am prof.fuzz: nachos are always worth the time
	11:43am Christina Ginger: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:42 There is a lot to be desired when working on mobile with the site and app.
	11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Everybody Got It But Me" by "James Hand" Aloha!
	11:43am Fuzzy: ↳ Song: "Hooked On A Feeling" by "B.J. Thomas" I'm high (on believing.)
	11:44am clarke: ↳ Montmaster J @11:43 does that mean the 2nd season is not as good?
	11:44am Hoboken Jack: I watched a couple of episodes of Slow Horses and it didn't grab me.
	11:44am Ramona: ↳ Song: "Hooked On A Feeling" by "B.J. Thomas" Love this new bubble feature! Thanks for mentioning M.S. 😀
	11:44am Handy Haversack: I also got a HC copy of John Le Carré's The Constant Gardener for $5 because our local 99 cents store now has books on consignment(?).
	11:44am Kotzwinkled: Mike, Prudhomme's Chicken Big Mamou is also a standout if it's in that copy you got. Anything with that much butter is bound to be good.
	11:44am Montmaster J: Clarke....no sorry just haven't seen it yet....just heard it's out.
	11:44am Michael Shelley: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:42 not yet, but you can bring up the playlist on a browser on yer phone...
	11:44am myron feld: ↳ FletcherNYC @11:43 Season 2 wrapped yesterday. Very good. And there's a 3 and probably 4 coming.
	11:44am Paul Thorne: Great tunes lads. Happy New Year from Dublin Ireland. Eireann Gó Brá.
	11:45am Pedro in Arlington: Charley Crockett, big James Hand booster. Might watch the Three Dog Night 1973 New Years Eve special tonight. youtu.be...
	11:45am myron feld: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:44 Great book, but I love anything le Carre (can't figure out how to put the accent, grave or otherwise)
	11:46am kevino: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:44 Have you checked out The Old Man yet?
	11:46am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Everybody Got It But Me" by "James Hand" Is this song about COVID?
	11:46am clarke: now THAT'S a plan Pedro!!
	11:46am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 Haha! Howdy Frank!
	11:46am Montmaster J: Not spy related...but Station 11 was, I think, the best TV we saw this year...
	11:47am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:46 Hi Jack
	11:47am phat in lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:44 Like this!
	11:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ myron feld @11:44 Whoa, did not realize there was a second season already. Though I guess I didn't really know when the first actually aired. There was a really good piece on Le Carré in the current issue of The Baffler.
	11:47am Bob: I have a friend who absolutely insists that nachos have to be made with canned black or pinto beans and the key is that you MUST use all of the bean juice. Do not dispose of. I'm not endorsing this theory. Just throwing it out there.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:45 i don't love EVERYthing, but early le carre' is fine fine fine
	11:49am Handy Haversack: I have been embracing vegan nachos for one lately. Spinach, fake chipotle, onion, jalapeños, hot salsa, fake cheese. It works. K8's not interested in trying it, though ...
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:47 i don't usually watch 60 Minutes, but they did a GREAT interview with le carre' in his seaside home (he hardly has EVER given interviews!!_)
	11:50am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:47 Speaking of Slow Horses and le Carre, after we finished SH Season 2 last night, we watched the Gary Oldman "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" -- hadn't seen it. Loved it. But loved the book, too.
	11:50am phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Dum... Dum... Dum... Dum..." by "Baden Powell" Check check. Lol.
	11:50am Ed From Jersey City: “Adapted By” means someone’s not getting paid. Here’s to everyone getting paid and then some in 2023!
	11:51am clarke: nice Myron!! i caught the first episode of Vienna Blood season 3 last night - bueno.
	11:52am Montmaster J: ↳ myron feld @11:50 Yes! Great one. So many good performances in that one!
	11:53am Leslie Karon: Slow Horses IS THE HANDS DOWN BEST SHOW!!!!!!
	11:53am Bob: If vegan or vegetarian is your thing, I highly do endorse the soy chorizo from Trader Joe's. I made breakfast tacos for son and his skater crew last week. I didn't tell them and they all loved it.
	11:53am phat in Lincoln: The new comments deal is working fine on the browser on my phone. Nice.
	11:53am drr: ok, I'm here, we can start now. Anybody seen anything good lately?
	11:53am Michael Shelley: ↳ phat in Lincoln @11:53 NICE!
	11:53am phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:53 I may have to check that out!
	11:54am Michael Shelley: ↳ Leslie Karon @11:53 settled!
	11:54am clarke: David! hello sir.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Coming Around" by "Above, The" An Above cut and a cut above!
	11:54am Michael Shelley: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:54 (if my wife agrees)
	11:54am berbo: I recently watched Over The Edge (1979), starring a young Matt Dillon. I discovered this movie after reading Dave Kramp's book about Cheap Trick. (there are four CT songs in the movie). It is not a great movie. But it is essential for fans of teenage rebellion.
	11:54am clarke: Above The.. clouds!!
	11:55am Frank In Queens: ↳ berbo @11:54 One of my faves!
	11:56am Handy Haversack: Gotta start in on making brunch. Boombox a-blasting!
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Coming Around" by "Above, The" Makes me think of Smithereens somehow. Which is all very good indeed.
	11:56am clarke: i re-watched Sex Drive, AGAiN, last nite - still stands up!! stan' on up!!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Don't close that book, just yet.
	11:56am clarke: not so fast, my friend.
	11:58am phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "But Not Today" by "Bill Dorsey" Groovy
	11:59am johnk77: high school season1 is included w/freeevee
	11:59am Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 High praise!
	12:00pm gf2002: ↳ berbo @11:54 Over The Edge is a classic, I am long overdue to rewatch it! The scene where Hendrix's "Come On" plays on the soundtrack is a favorite. You can see where parts of Dazed And Confused were influenced by this film. Must see!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "But Not Today" by "Bill Dorsey" ...Dorsey or doesn't he ...only time will tell...
	12:01pm clarke: huge CT fan, never seen Over The Edge. maybe after 3 Dog Night...
	12:01pm drr: I came here to complain about a movie..."The Life & Times of Judge Roy Bean". I expected a dark violent tale of frontier justice, I got a tame comedy that wasted a lot of talented performers.
	12:01pm P-90: Good news! Only half a day of 2022 left
	12:02pm clarke: yeah, Dave, it was VERY light!
	12:02pm P-90: “Roy Bean” is a legendary disappointment
	12:02pm Bob: ↳ phat in Lincoln @11:53 Brown it a little with some really tiny diced potatoes and onion. Fantastic with eggs or without!
	12:02pm DG: I saw "Over the Edge" at a rep theater in the Village, maybe a few years after it came out, & liked it (then again, I grew up on Longuyland and its indictment of suburbia felt apt to me). Based on stories from a real community in California, & it was Dillon's first film---they literally discovered him in a Westchester junior high school. Not as good as "River's Edge" but it was better than expected. I think it was pulled from theaters quickly (like "The Warriors" for supposedly encouraging teen violence).
	12:02pm drr: Over the Edge was a "cult classic" in my brother's friend group. It's a lot of fun.
	12:03pm berbo: ↳ clarke @12:01 As a CT fan, I hope you heard Michael's interview with Dave Kramp a few weeks ago.
	12:03pm drr: I quit Judge Bean after an hour, when Roddy McDowall was in the bear cage...felt like I was watching a big budget Love, American Style or something.
	12:04pm ?: Digging the show while making smoked duck gumbo for New Year’s Day.
	12:04pm Bob: I heard that CT Whiskey box was essential but it sold out instantly. Damnit!!
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ berbo @12:03 i heard that (great) interview, but have not yet gotten or read the book. to be remedied in '23
	12:05pm myron feld: ↳ DG @12:02 Our DJ's mom plays the principal in "Over The Edge" - true story!
	12:06pm clarke: @Bob - i have heard that entire show - it is FANTASTIC! but, didn't even know about the box
	12:06pm Joe R.: ↳ Song: "Games People Play" by "Spinners, The" This is a definite "back of the station wagon" song for me, courtesy of WABC
	12:06pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Games People Play" by "Spinners, The" This song is ridiculously good. Speaking of bridges.
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @12:05 I was waiting to see how long it would be before someone mentioned it.
	12:08pm myron feld: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:06 So I win? Or lose?
	12:08pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ myron feld @12:05 Wait, what?
	12:08pm Bob: Clarke, yeah. I heard about it too late. It has several sets and features pretty much all the early songs they did. Different sets always, of course.
	12:09pm berbo: No way!
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:08 yeah, a bandmate had a cassette of that on a long-ago tour - insane sets.
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @12:08 Let's leave it open-ended ;)
	12:11pm clarke: as much as i love ALL eras of CT (yes, even jon brandt era), the early stuff is maddenly cool.
	12:12pm Bob: My biggest takeaway from that CT book was just how prolific Rick was. They had so many road tested original songs. They could have made their greatest hits record on day one but chose a different, weirder path.
	12:12pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:11 It really is. What's funny is I mentioned that I thought the sounded a lot like the move and then just this past week realized California Man is a Move song!
	12:13pm clarke: yes, well, there's another great CT book that covers a lot that this new one does.
	12:14pm Glistener MW: egads!!! Well, one certainly can’t argue with an astute observation like “sucks”. Case closed, I presume. :/
	12:14pm clarke: Glass Onion doesn't suck - it is a play on whodunits. and a good one. i won't say it is great, but it is good.
	12:14pm Nate K: Not liking Glass Onion is a very trendy take. Sorry. My take: It’s fun! That’s is all.
	12:15pm Roberta: Was that booker t and the mg’s playing auld lang syne before the spinners?
	12:15pm berbo: ↳ clarke @12:11 I wonder if there are any recordings of the Sick Man of Europe lineup.
	12:15pm PNX: Where's a good album to start getting into R Stevie Moore?
	12:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Now" by "Dion" How do I still not have 'Kickin' Child' ?? Imposible to overstate Dylan's shifting the Culture - but does this unreleased (?!?!) Dion rewrite FokRawk History or is it just me ?
	12:16pm clarke: hey Nate!!! enjoyed your xmas show!
	12:16pm Corey: Nice to hear Dion belt it out!
	12:16pm Bob: Yeah, definitely not a sucker. It's big, fun entertainment. It's well done. Not a desert island classic or anything but it's a good time.
	12:16pm clarke: yes - Records!! for a sec, there.
	12:17pm drr: I didn't like Knives Out much, so will probably skip Glass Onion. I did enjoy right-winger Ben Shapiro's indignant tweet complaints about being misled by the clues in a whodunit.
	12:17pm Nate K: @clarke, yes! People who say it sucked probably don’t really think that; but, people who say it’s brilliant probably don’t really think that either. It’s fun!
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ berbo @12:15 there's that one song on the box-set = that's all i know about
	12:18pm phat in lincoln: @clarke by the way, I have been told from a reliable source that White Noise is not good.
	12:18pm Corey: Been really hung up on the Elvis at the International since you played them the other morning on Wake. Great Elvis banter and the best band in the world.
	12:18pm Hughie Considine: I enjoyed the second half of Glass Onion much more than the first. Knives Out was more solid. What song will they name the next one after? How about "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight"?
	12:18pm Hughie Considine: howdy Clarke-meister!
	12:19pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Corey @12:18 Band so laid back, but so HOT!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @12:18 my gal gave White Noise thumbs down
	12:20pm clarke: Hugh!! welcome to the new century!!
	12:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Mystery Train / Tiger Man (live '69)" by "Elvis P... ...if I had to do shows @ that pace every night I'd probly be on pills too...
	12:20pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:19 The previews looked terrifying. It's a shame, that book is brilliant.
	12:20pm DG: ↳ myron feld @12:05 Wow, didn't know that! I found her name on imdb, but no mention of her famous son.
	12:21pm Bob: The best thing about Glass Onion? It's not a goddamn superhero movie! The eight year old me would be sad over how much the middle-aged me hates the Marvel universe. Almost anything that isn't that is ok with me.
	12:21pm Kotzwinkled: White Noise is the definition of unfilmable, but if they were gonna try, they should've let Cronenberg do it.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:21 exactly!
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:19 ...was thinking the rhythm is - I dunno - a bit weird ? Doesn't swing like Rawkabilly @ its best - big band Vegas style drive I suppose ...that's ShowBiz.
	12:22pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:21 Yep.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:21 that's Ronnie Tutt, my friend.
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @12:21 I'm always posting old school Marvel graphix with the heading 'Marvel On Paper'...
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Roberta @12:15 Husky Team "Christmas In Memphis" !!!!
	12:23pm Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:22 Yeah, I can dig that
	12:23pm clarke: it's not a comix, vampire or zombie script - praise be!!
	12:23pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:21 I can't picture anyone filming any Dellilo well. Someone might be able to do Ratner's Star in the style of Solaris, I suppose.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: The Grass!
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:21 I endorse this event or product.
	12:24pm clarke: twigs.
	12:24pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:20 thanks, bud. Hoping for great things!
	12:24pm clarke: on grass.
	12:25pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "If You Wanna Go" by "Brett McKenzie" Hey Everyone! This song was really great. Thanks for playing, Michael.
	12:25pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "We Are Young" by "Supergrass" Ah, memories of the best movie ever, Clueless, pop into my head every time I hear this song.
	12:25pm Hughie Considine: When I lived in the East Village in the mid-80s, one of my roommates was working on a screenplay for White Noise. Many have tried!
	12:25pm clarke: who pianos on dis?? gaz??
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @12:21 ...I don't hate everything about the Marvel Cinematic Universe - but clearly a Quantity / Quality thing going on ...to be fair, there were enuff Formulaic Comic Books too - especially into the 1970s maybe... Hire Writers. Have ideas. It's - yerknow ...an option.
	12:26pm Hughie Considine: Gaz is a good guess
	12:27pm drr: George Martin.
	12:27pm clarke: sir george to you!!
	12:28pm drr: (I don't know. Supergrass is a group I 100% missed when they were first active. I think I heard them first on this show, actually--acoustic "Caught By The Fuzz"?)
	12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "A Harlem Girl" by "Crickets, The" ...datin' Satan - if he can stand her misery...
	12:29pm clarke: you going out tonite dave?
	12:30pm clarke: what happened to Handy? is he loading up the Floating Bookmobile and putting some fortified wine in the pontoons??
	12:30pm Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @12:28 Definitely worth some listens if you're not familiar with their stuff. They put out 6 albums and they're all either very good to great in my opinion.
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:30 I think he said he was on brunch duty.
	12:31pm clarke: i didn't know they had SIX - i have some learning to do, myself!
	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Juke Joint Boogie" by "Freddie Hart" Man I lurves Boogie pianner.
	12:32pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Break-A-Way" by "Irma Thomas" Good God, speaking of choruses!
	12:32pm Bob: Can someone do Supergrass playlist for me? I don't have the energy. Thanks!
	12:34pm drr: Frank: I ran out and bought I Should Coco, I like that one a lot.
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ phat in Lincoln @12:32 Contrast of agony & exuberance. The performance ! Perfection.
	12:34pm clarke: and you SHOULD coco!!
	12:34pm clarke: (at least on new year's eve)
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "God Save The Queen" by "Sex Pistols" Ever get the feeling you've been validated.
	12:35pm clarke: this IS a pop song!
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: I love that you like the Pistols, MS. Pop gems!
	12:35pm drr: clarke: hell no. (actually visiting people in town so I can hopefully avoid the rain of bullets over here).
	12:35pm phat in Lincoln: Turns out he meant it man.
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:25 Leaving aside "unfilmable," there's just no reason to film some things. Can't we just have books?
	12:36pm Michael Shelley: ↳ phat in Lincoln @12:35 maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
	12:36pm clarke: hope so!! (you should STILL coco, tho)
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:35 ZACKLY ...#1 ...tho they wouldn't list it :D
	12:36pm Bob: I think he ATE the queen
	12:37pm drr: I'm kidding, I hope. Fireworks viewing over here is pretty neat, always hundreds of people up on the levee watching and participating.
	12:37pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:36 Lol
	12:37pm StuartR: Save the Queen? What about the King? (There is a future 😀) despite what Johnny sang a few times in the 70s, 80s.
	12:37pm Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @12:34 You should go directly to "In It For The Money" then. Still has the some of the same speedy energy as "Coco" but with better songs. I think it's quite the step up in the songwriting department.
	12:37pm phat in Lincoln: Pistols woke me the ef up.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "God Save The Queen" by "Sex Pistols" Sh*t - they made an Alternative National Anthem. What more is there to aspire to.
	12:37pm drr: Handy: that's a good point. Someday they will film A Confederacy of Dunces and no matter how good it is it won't be right.
	12:38pm rx scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone. I hope you all have a happy new year.
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:36 Agreed, there's a certain arrogance in reading an extraordinary book and saying, "I must turn this into a major motion picture!"
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "God Save The Queen" by "Sex Pistols" Didn't SteveJones do some of the Bass too ? Gittar & Bass together ...a little unit called TheRamones...
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:37 they already tried once, right?
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:39 I was under the impression that Jonsey played bass on some of those tracks as well.
	12:39pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: It was Carol Kaye
	12:39pm phat in Lincoln: Holy hell.
	12:40pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:39 have they? I heard David Gordon Green had rights to do it but heard nothing else.
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @12:39 HaHa ! ...& BernardPurdie of course...
	12:40pm clarke: they kept some tracks that matlock played on - but most of the rest is Jonesy
	12:40pm Glistener MW: “We’re through the Jayooking glass here, people.”
	12:41pm drr: Sweet Corn Lizzie: Right! Bernard Purdie is the drummer on most of those Sex pistols tracks as well.
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "God Save The Queen" by "Sex Pistols" That opening stuttering riff (a riff on Eddie Cochran's "Something Else") was the brick and mortar of the Ramones and the ur-chord change that defined punk.
	12:41pm rx scabin: @Hughie Considine soory to pop into your discussion, but could the thinking be "I could make money from this."? A different flavor of arrogance.
	12:41pm Glistener MW: I wonder if they have a tribute-act north of the border called “EH and the Canadians”?
	12:41pm clarke: sid was in the hospital during recording, so luckily he was not on bass.
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:38 I can accept sometimes a Director has an Impression he wants to convey & share as legit. Problem with Movies is they're such a big deal & powerful that most people take them on as thee version of something ...& no one else films another...
	12:42pm drr: rx: if you're a good movie maker but not a good writer, it's got to be very tempting to go with a tried-and-true story.
	12:42pm Hughie Considine: @rx scabin, yes, arrogance is surely a many splendored thing!
	12:42pm alan the painter: ...this is a funny radio station, thank you Michael, an' for the notes, we peeps are odd...
	12:42pm Christina Ginger: Sid in hospital with the appendix?
	12:44pm Bob: I still just choose to believe Glen was the genius behind all of the Pistols stuff.
	12:44pm clarke: i think it was appendicidis, yes
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:42 ...and then the book comes out with the movie one-sheet on the cover, further confusing the issue. Some will read it, but many will probably assume they don't have to because they saw the movie. The book gets lost.
	12:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Bob @12:44 He did write the songs....
	12:45pm thriftstoreleather: Super great show Michael :) Happy New Year Everyone!!
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:44 you know it, Bob! but, credit must be given to jonesy for carrying through.
	12:45pm DG: As someone who read "...Dunces" around the time everyone was going crazy over it, I thought it was over-rated and not as funny as many found itm but I thought they could've made a better, more focused movie from it, but apparently it's "cursed"----actors who could've done a great job as the lead have died (Belushi, John Candy, maybe even Chris Farley, god help us) & I think it's had major problems. There was a stage production a few years ago (with Nick Offerman!) that I think went on without any drama....but not sure who could play the lead now (Phillip Seymour Hoffman would've been good too).
	12:46pm gf2002: South American Getaway, Bacharach! Amazing. Please play the full track sometime.
	12:47pm Bob: I finally saw Glen live this year with Blondie and he was just the coolest dude on stage. His Instagram posts are just great too. Seems like a great guy.
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @12:46 Indeed!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ DG @12:45 as someone who grew up in new orleans, i have not read CoD - and don't plan to.
	12:47pm Listener Baby: Baby. Glass Onion = Glass Piece of Poop. A much worst Ocean’s 11. And that wasn’t good either. Please avoid. I got through 20 minutes of it. Your are welcome.
	12:48pm Kotzwinkled: ↳ DG @12:45 Dunces probably can't be done, but that one dude from Wings was the spitting image of Ignatius from the illustration you often see on the paperback m.media-amazon.com...
	12:48pm Listener Baby: Worse
	12:48pm phat in Lincoln: I just remembered, I have to fix my car door... Pothole in Omaha caused something to come loose or snap, now the inside driver's handle doesn't work.
	12:48pm Hughie Considine: ↳ DG @12:45 So true, Hoffman would have been a great Ignatius J. Reilly, but it would take some genius direction to make that character work on screen.
	12:50pm clarke: no one could get the accent right, except someone from here - and that is dying out, too.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: Brunch is served!
	12:50pm gf2002: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:47 It's amazing how the same guy could be Tony The Tiger, sing You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch, and perform Bacharach at that level of musicianship and artistry. Thurl Ravenscroft
	12:50pm phat in Lincoln: My dad was a huge Mills Brothers fan. I need to break out those records.
	12:50pm clarke: there IS a comedian from here that can do the accent - but doubt he can act.
	12:51pm clarke: The Foxxx!!!
	12:51pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ gf2002 @12:50 Amazing
	12:51pm Squints: Mistook this Bill Fox for the Lemon Twigs for a second.
	12:51pm Bob: 20 minutes isn't even the setup for Glass Onion. I rewatched The Talented Mr Ripley the other night. Pretty much a perfect film. PSH is so great in it. Everybody is, really.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:51 and, for a sec i thought Supergrass was Twigs, ha ha
	12:52pm Dennis Diken: Fabulous show, Mikey (as per) - thanks for another year of amazing programs! Happy New Year, everybody!
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'll Give It Away" by "Bill Fox" Making me think Kim Shattuck.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:51 as a big Highsmith fan, i can get on board widdat!
	12:53pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:44 There’s a Faulkner? quote about “my book is there on the shelf, the didn’t ruin it “
	12:53pm Corey: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:52 For sure!
	12:53pm phat in Lincoln: Yes, great show as always, Michael. Happy New Year to all you Number One Hitsters!
	12:53pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:52 Lemon Twigs in their high school yearbook: "Ambition: To be all the bands."
	12:54pm clarke: i still need some rope moved. it's not gonna move itself!!
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'll Give It Away" by "Bill Fox" #1
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "History Lesson Part 2" by "Minutemen, The" Corn dogs!
	12:54pm dave: Love this song
	12:54pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "History Lesson Part 2" by "Minutemen, The" My heart always calms down when I hear that opening riff. Such a great song. Corn dogs!
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Fantastic show today. Happy New Year, Number Ones!
	12:54pm phat in Lincoln: We were fucking corn dogs
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:53 they lived it. corn dogs.
	12:55pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Mr. Oxford @12:54 Same
	12:55pm Marie: one of the best songs ever?
	12:55pm Hughie Considine: Best show I ever saw: Minutemen at Maxwell's in '85.
	12:55pm bearded wonder: ↳ Song: "History Lesson Part 2" by "Minutemen, The" Minutemen ❤️
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great NYE show! Happy New Year everybody.
	12:55pm Mike Sin: Been listing to and enjoying the show while having a lazy breakfast and a gallon of coffee. Happy and healthy new year to Michael Shelley and his listeners !
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "History Lesson Part 2" by "Minutemen, The" Already nostalgic when laid down. Huh.
	12:56pm phat in Lincoln: Hoping Watt comes around again this year.
	12:56pm Mr. Oxford: Thanks, Michael for a great show! Happy New Year everyone!
	12:56pm P-90: Thanks @Michael for another year of Number One Hits, and Happy New Year to the whole darn Shelley clan
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: I wonder if we're gonna get that classic send-off..
	12:56pm phat in Lincoln: Punk rock saved my life too.
	12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY ALWAYS DJ MS ~
	12:56pm clarke: JUPE!!! HB, kiddo!!
	12:56pm drr: Bob: I haven't seen "Mr. Ripley", but the bit where PSH hops out of the sports car is priceless.
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: Happy New Year to you and the fam, Michael. And to all here on the chat as well.
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "May You Always" by "Juniper" My fave...thanks, Michael and Juniper!
	12:57pm Glistener MW: Thanks, Juniper! <3
	12:57pm clarke: very linus, here - compliment of compliments!!
	12:57pm SamTheRam: Special Minutemen selection. Happy New Year everyone. Thank You Michael for all you do
	12:57pm rx scabin: Thank you, Michael.
	12:57pm dano59: Taking all that to heart, Juniper.
	12:58pm alan the painter: yes, nice writing and delivery, the stream, come on in the waters warm...
	12:58pm radioronan: Thanks Michael..Cheers and Merry New Year y'all!
	12:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Michael. Have a nice 2023!
	12:58pm clarke: keep gettin' cut off here maybe not in the new year.. ever get the feeling u been... JUPED!!
	12:58pm dave: Thanks!

	11:16am onthetrain: Amazing how he was able to play !

	11:16am onthetrain: Mike are we ending with ! For some reason !!!
	11:16am myron feld: Actually, you playing LP & MF got me searching for references to them living in Jackson Heights, the land of my upbringing. I found this quote from an interview: "In 1941, I stuck my hand in the transmitter of an illegal radio station I had made in my basement in Jackson Heights. I was nearly electrocuted. That accident ended my career for a year."
	11:17am P-90: Les broke his right arm in a car wreck and was told it would have limited mobility, he worked out with the surgeon that it would be set at the most favorable angle for guitar playing.

	11:20am Frank In Queens: HEEEEEYYYYYYYYY NOOOOOOWWWWWWWW

	11:22am Bob: So what I thought was a a cold a few weeks ago turned out to be Covid. After three years of carefully avoiding it, and still being just about the most cautious person I know, I managed to get it. It was a shock to me. I've had every possible vaccination and have still been masking. Nevertheless, it messed up our Christmas. I never even got a temperature and thankfully didn't get very sick at all. My wife got it a little worse. My sense is that this latest version is milder but far more contagious. So be careful out there!
	11:22am clarke: me, too!! and some rope!
	11:23am StuartR: Number 1s for New Years, then 2023. A Johnny Cash grandson cover of Merle Haggard 👍
	11:23am clarke: @Bob - happens to the worst of us! hope it is lite and passes quickly.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Oof, sorry to hear it, Bob. Glad it was mild, though.
	11:24am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:21 Not sure yet. I only woke up 20 minutes ago!
	11:24am clarke: however, the post-covid is not great - not horrible, but not great.
	11:24am clarke: that's a good plan, so far, Frank!!
	11:25am P-90: And yeah, Les and Mary lived in what they called “The House that Capitol Built” in Mahwah, Les lived there after the divorce, and for the rest of his life. I believe Les’s girlfriend still lives there.
	11:25am Handy Haversack: I have missed Wake all week long. Staycation! Sleeping till 9 every day.
	11:25am myron feld: ↳ Squints @11:19 Squints: one and the same. Very exciting for a young myron to hear his neighborhood mentioned in such a great song.
	11:26am clarke: NYE nachos!!!
	11:26am love2laf: ↳ Bob @11:22 Very sorry to hear your Christmas was a Covid one, but glad to hear you're on the mend.
	11:26am paul: Chinese food, football and whisky.
	11:26am Hoboken Jack: Happy PEEEETE Year!!
	11:26am Greg from ZONE 5: I will be celebrating New Year's with 6 hrs of radio (that I have been shamelessly promoting on other DJs' playlists!)
	11:27am love2laf: Patak's Lime Pickle minced and added to salsa, any salsa, even jarred, will bring amazing flavour.
	11:27am P-90: Les Paul loved nachos too
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:25 i enjoyed Mister Shelley's fill-in on Wake - whatever day that was...
	11:27am Tome: { big smoker just don't do meat }
	11:27am phat in lincoln: Probably gonna hit the Zoo Bar for an early show of the fabulous Bel Airs from Columbia, MO. No idea what I'm doing late.
	11:27am Leslie Karon: Glass Onion
	11:28am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:26 Thank you for your service, Greg!
	11:28am John L: Take out and movies. Got a Vincent Price box set for Christmas, and nothing says Happy New Year like The Masque of the Red Death.
	11:28am Kotzwinkled: A terrifice NYE movie watch is the Coen Bros HUDSUCKER PROXY.
	11:28am Handy Haversack: We always go to dinner at our favorite place, which is walking distance, over the bridge and back. And then we'll finish out the year deep in ZONE 5!
	11:28am clarke: nice, Phat!! stay warm!!
	11:28am phat in lincoln: @Greg from ZONE 5 damn, 6 hours. I may check in.
	11:29am P-90: Yes, Michael’s Wake fill-in was masterful. Started my day on a real “up” note.
	11:29am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:28 The word "hero" gets thrown around a lot these days…
	11:29am clarke: i'll probably be in Zone 5 for a while - there's a decent football match-up tonight.
	11:29am phat in lincoln: @clarke you probably know the Bel Airs!
	11:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:29 Sometimes there's a man ... !
	11:30am Bob: Thanks for the well wishin.' We work in the public schools and I just think the return to school is going to be difficult. Maybe the biggest spike we've seen yet. I hope I'm wrong. Just be extra careful for the next month, folks.
	11:30am Hoboken Jack: I will be at Pet Shop in JC where Todd-o-Phonic and Dangerous Dave will be spinning between bands.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:29 they were not active when i lived in CoMo - met one of the guys, tho.
	11:31am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Tramp" by "Lowell Fulsom" Gotta be one of the most heavily sampled songs in history. De La, Cypress Hill, Redman, Wu-Tang…
	11:31am clarke: Panther Burns opened with Tramp every time i saw 'em
	11:31am nycmusicnerd: Hoping to do the 20-minute hike to the laundromat after the show. Then I hope to come home and collapse for the remainder of the day.
	11:32am Gary: I second Glass Onion for NYE
	11:32am clarke: laundry? come on, now!!
	11:32am Montmaster J: Re: Movie....Tar was very good.....best we've seen in a while.
	11:32am kevino: Raina is making a cheese cake now , and later, I am making Coq Au Vin. probably be in bed by 10. Kool Yule to all!
	11:32am P-90: Cool to see that Greg will be literally straddling the midnight hour on New Year’s Eve
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NYE & St.Patrick's - two days to stay away from the Pub far as I'm concerned ...& that was before a Tripledemic.
	11:32am clarke: i liked Glass Onion - enjoyable romp.
	11:33am prof.fuzz: morning y'all clarkEEEEE
	11:33am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:32 Agreed. Add Halloween.
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:32 ...was never in the tuxedos & cocaine class. But you knew that...
	11:34am Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @11:33 Amateur nights. Yup. We professional drinkers need quiet to concentrate!
	11:34am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!
	11:34am Listener Baby: Sounds like Nick Lowe 1978
	11:35am johnk77: happy holidaze w/skinny spliff
	11:35am prof.fuzz: hey handy!
	11:35am Handy Haversack: prof.fuzz!
	11:35am Bob: Glass Onion was good. Janelle Monae was a nice surprise. I didn't think I liked her but she was good. Need some suggestions though. We have no idea what to watch over the next week on break. Liked Banshees too. Dark.
	11:35am clarke: every night is amateur nite on bourbon street.
	11:36am annette: happy NYE all. while glass balls are falling, look up to yeungling brewery. pottsville ,pa. they RAISE the beer bottle !!!! raise a Yay
	11:36am P-90: I like charitable euphemisms like “guys who are not natural singers”
	11:36am paul: Blue Swede, not Suede.
	11:36am Handy Haversack: We watched Smile, which was well done and disturbing. X was also pretty good.
	11:36am Fuzzy: Wrecking Crew Ho!
	11:37am clarke: @Bob - i just re-watched Jeremiah Johnson and The Great Waldo Pepper - both stand up pretty well.
	11:37am Roger: The "sitar" hooked me on this one way back when.
	11:37am Rick from SC: ↳ Song: "Hooked On A Feeling" by "B.J. Thomas" A classic
	11:37am Bob: Clarke, two big childhood favorites there!
	11:37am gf2002: Nothing says festive like the Coral electric sitar
	11:37am Squints: ↳ paul @11:36 bort bort bort
	11:38am clarke: yeah, give 'em another try!
	11:38am johnk77: any glisteners checking out nyc#1 recreational & legal dispensary? high school season1 is good on amazon prime
	11:38am paul: ↳ Squints @11:37 Gort
	11:38am clarke: spoiler alert, ha ha: the indian attack montage in JJ - wow.
	11:39am shnook on a ceiling: ↳ Song: "Hooked On A Feeling" by "B.J. Thomas" I'll take an electric sitar over an ooga chaka any day
	11:39am Frank In Queens: Handy, how did K8's show go last night?
	11:39am Squints: ↳ Song: "Do You Wanna Dance?" by "Cliff Richard" C'mon pretty baby let's a-move and a-groove it.
	11:39am Ramona: Great to hear Hooked on a Feeling classic:-)
	11:39am Greg from ZONE 5: I LOVED Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. (That said, Hudsucker is in fact the perfect NYE pick.)
	11:39am Johnny Shanks: Back of the station wagon music, yes! Palisades Park, Indian Lake, Western Union!! Mom would turn off Tommy James, way to 'suggestive'!!!
	11:40am Corey: Thought that was JD McPherson Band for a second. The modern sounds of Cliff Richard.
	11:40am berbo: This Ramones cover is kinda groovy.
	11:40am Kotzwinkled: THANK you, Greg. Everyone should be blessed enough to ring in the new year with screwball-mode Jennifer Jason Leigh.
	11:41am gf2002: There is a rumor that the "ooga chaka" chant was "borrowed" from Brian Wilson's unreleased Smile chants after someone involved with the Blue Swede record heard the Smile tapes, well before they leaked. Probable!
	11:42am Squints: Nub da bubble.
	11:42am ?: i love this song!!
	11:42am John L: The Apartment might be my favorite film with a NYE scene; it's also one of my top 20 films of all time.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Real good, Frank! Crowds were a little sparse. But C&K and Oof pair really well and both sounded great. To clear out some C&K merch, I was instructed to think of a game. So I brought some dice (twenty-siders, of course) and let people roll to get free or discounted stuff: 15+: Free LP, T-shirt, or CD; 10+: Free shirt or CD; 5+: Free CD; 1-5: $5 off anything. It was a smash hit! One guy was all, "I just have a gambling problem -- this is so exciting!" Full agreement here.
	11:42am Bob: I liked the weird new Pinocchio. I haven't heard anyone talking about it. It was interesting.
	11:42am paul: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:40 Just watched JJL in the Machinist. She's always good.
	11:42am phat in lincoln: Ah, so the new commenting situation doesn't happen on the woof moo app.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: Yes, I really enjoyed Slow Horses.
	11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:42 Great to hear. And that's a good idea for moving merch out!
	11:43am Montmaster J: Loved the first season of Slow Horses...
	11:43am P-90: It’s not a proper Goat Cheese Salad until it’s hit the floor
	11:43am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:42 That's a cool idea, Handy. I like that!
	11:43am clarke: sometimes, there's a man...
	11:43am FletcherNYC: The first season of slow horses was amazing! I haven’t seen the second season yet
	11:43am myron feld: Slow Horses is very popular in this home.
	11:43am prof.fuzz: nachos are always worth the time
	11:43am Christina Ginger: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:42 There is a lot to be desired when working on mobile with the site and app.
	11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Everybody Got It But Me" by "James Hand" Aloha!
	11:43am Fuzzy: ↳ Song: "Hooked On A Feeling" by "B.J. Thomas" I'm high (on believing.)
	11:44am clarke: ↳ Montmaster J @11:43 does that mean the 2nd season is not as good?
	11:44am Hoboken Jack: I watched a couple of episodes of Slow Horses and it didn't grab me.
	11:44am Ramona: ↳ Song: "Hooked On A Feeling" by "B.J. Thomas" Love this new bubble feature! Thanks for mentioning M.S. 😀
	11:44am Handy Haversack: I also got a HC copy of John Le Carré's The Constant Gardener for $5 because our local 99 cents store now has books on consignment(?).
	11:44am Kotzwinkled: Mike, Prudhomme's Chicken Big Mamou is also a standout if it's in that copy you got. Anything with that much butter is bound to be good.
	11:44am Montmaster J: Clarke....no sorry just haven't seen it yet....just heard it's out.
	11:44am Michael Shelley: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:42 not yet, but you can bring up the playlist on a browser on yer phone...
	11:44am myron feld: ↳ FletcherNYC @11:43 Season 2 wrapped yesterday. Very good. And there's a 3 and probably 4 coming.
	11:44am Paul Thorne: Great tunes lads. Happy New Year from Dublin Ireland. Eireann Gó Brá.
	11:45am Pedro in Arlington: Charley Crockett, big James Hand booster. Might watch the Three Dog Night 1973 New Years Eve special tonight. youtu.be...
	11:45am myron feld: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:44 Great book, but I love anything le Carre (can't figure out how to put the accent, grave or otherwise)
	11:46am kevino: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:44 Have you checked out The Old Man yet?
	11:46am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Everybody Got It But Me" by "James Hand" Is this song about COVID?
	11:46am clarke: now THAT'S a plan Pedro!!
	11:46am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 Haha! Howdy Frank!
	11:46am Montmaster J: Not spy related...but Station 11 was, I think, the best TV we saw this year...
	11:47am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:46 Hi Jack
	11:47am phat in lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:44 Like this!
	11:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ myron feld @11:44 Whoa, did not realize there was a second season already. Though I guess I didn't really know when the first actually aired. There was a really good piece on Le Carré in the current issue of The Baffler.
	11:47am Bob: I have a friend who absolutely insists that nachos have to be made with canned black or pinto beans and the key is that you MUST use all of the bean juice. Do not dispose of. I'm not endorsing this theory. Just throwing it out there.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:45 i don't love EVERYthing, but early le carre' is fine fine fine
	11:49am Handy Haversack: I have been embracing vegan nachos for one lately. Spinach, fake chipotle, onion, jalapeños, hot salsa, fake cheese. It works. K8's not interested in trying it, though ...
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:47 i don't usually watch 60 Minutes, but they did a GREAT interview with le carre' in his seaside home (he hardly has EVER given interviews!!_)
	11:50am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:47 Speaking of Slow Horses and le Carre, after we finished SH Season 2 last night, we watched the Gary Oldman "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" -- hadn't seen it. Loved it. But loved the book, too.
	11:50am phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Dum... Dum... Dum... Dum..." by "Baden Powell" Check check. Lol.
	11:50am Ed From Jersey City: “Adapted By” means someone’s not getting paid. Here’s to everyone getting paid and then some in 2023!
	11:51am clarke: nice Myron!! i caught the first episode of Vienna Blood season 3 last night - bueno.
	11:52am Montmaster J: ↳ myron feld @11:50 Yes! Great one. So many good performances in that one!
	11:53am Leslie Karon: Slow Horses IS THE HANDS DOWN BEST SHOW!!!!!!
	11:53am Bob: If vegan or vegetarian is your thing, I highly do endorse the soy chorizo from Trader Joe's. I made breakfast tacos for son and his skater crew last week. I didn't tell them and they all loved it.
	11:53am phat in Lincoln: The new comments deal is working fine on the browser on my phone. Nice.
	11:53am drr: ok, I'm here, we can start now. Anybody seen anything good lately?
	11:53am Michael Shelley: ↳ phat in Lincoln @11:53 NICE!
	11:53am phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:53 I may have to check that out!
	11:54am Michael Shelley: ↳ Leslie Karon @11:53 settled!
	11:54am clarke: David! hello sir.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Coming Around" by "Above, The" An Above cut and a cut above!
	11:54am Michael Shelley: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:54 (if my wife agrees)
	11:54am berbo: I recently watched Over The Edge (1979), starring a young Matt Dillon. I discovered this movie after reading Dave Kramp's book about Cheap Trick. (there are four CT songs in the movie). It is not a great movie. But it is essential for fans of teenage rebellion.
	11:54am clarke: Above The.. clouds!!
	11:55am Frank In Queens: ↳ berbo @11:54 One of my faves!
	11:56am Handy Haversack: Gotta start in on making brunch. Boombox a-blasting!
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Coming Around" by "Above, The" Makes me think of Smithereens somehow. Which is all very good indeed.
	11:56am clarke: i re-watched Sex Drive, AGAiN, last nite - still stands up!! stan' on up!!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Don't close that book, just yet.
	11:56am clarke: not so fast, my friend.
	11:58am phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "But Not Today" by "Bill Dorsey" Groovy
	11:59am johnk77: high school season1 is included w/freeevee
	11:59am Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 High praise!
	12:00pm gf2002: ↳ berbo @11:54 Over The Edge is a classic, I am long overdue to rewatch it! The scene where Hendrix's "Come On" plays on the soundtrack is a favorite. You can see where parts of Dazed And Confused were influenced by this film. Must see!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "But Not Today" by "Bill Dorsey" ...Dorsey or doesn't he ...only time will tell...
	12:01pm clarke: huge CT fan, never seen Over The Edge. maybe after 3 Dog Night...
	12:01pm drr: I came here to complain about a movie..."The Life & Times of Judge Roy Bean". I expected a dark violent tale of frontier justice, I got a tame comedy that wasted a lot of talented performers.
	12:01pm P-90: Good news! Only half a day of 2022 left
	12:02pm clarke: yeah, Dave, it was VERY light!
	12:02pm P-90: “Roy Bean” is a legendary disappointment
	12:02pm Bob: ↳ phat in Lincoln @11:53 Brown it a little with some really tiny diced potatoes and onion. Fantastic with eggs or without!
	12:02pm DG: I saw "Over the Edge" at a rep theater in the Village, maybe a few years after it came out, & liked it (then again, I grew up on Longuyland and its indictment of suburbia felt apt to me). Based on stories from a real community in California, & it was Dillon's first film---they literally discovered him in a Westchester junior high school. Not as good as "River's Edge" but it was better than expected. I think it was pulled from theaters quickly (like "The Warriors" for supposedly encouraging teen violence).
	12:02pm drr: Over the Edge was a "cult classic" in my brother's friend group. It's a lot of fun.
	12:03pm berbo: ↳ clarke @12:01 As a CT fan, I hope you heard Michael's interview with Dave Kramp a few weeks ago.
	12:03pm drr: I quit Judge Bean after an hour, when Roddy McDowall was in the bear cage...felt like I was watching a big budget Love, American Style or something.
	12:04pm ?: Digging the show while making smoked duck gumbo for New Year’s Day.
	12:04pm Bob: I heard that CT Whiskey box was essential but it sold out instantly. Damnit!!
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ berbo @12:03 i heard that (great) interview, but have not yet gotten or read the book. to be remedied in '23
	12:05pm myron feld: ↳ DG @12:02 Our DJ's mom plays the principal in "Over The Edge" - true story!
	12:06pm clarke: @Bob - i have heard that entire show - it is FANTASTIC! but, didn't even know about the box
	12:06pm Joe R.: ↳ Song: "Games People Play" by "Spinners, The" This is a definite "back of the station wagon" song for me, courtesy of WABC
	12:06pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Games People Play" by "Spinners, The" This song is ridiculously good. Speaking of bridges.
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @12:05 I was waiting to see how long it would be before someone mentioned it.
	12:08pm myron feld: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:06 So I win? Or lose?
	12:08pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ myron feld @12:05 Wait, what?
	12:08pm Bob: Clarke, yeah. I heard about it too late. It has several sets and features pretty much all the early songs they did. Different sets always, of course.
	12:09pm berbo: No way!
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:08 yeah, a bandmate had a cassette of that on a long-ago tour - insane sets.
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @12:08 Let's leave it open-ended ;)
	12:11pm clarke: as much as i love ALL eras of CT (yes, even jon brandt era), the early stuff is maddenly cool.
	12:12pm Bob: My biggest takeaway from that CT book was just how prolific Rick was. They had so many road tested original songs. They could have made their greatest hits record on day one but chose a different, weirder path.
	12:12pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:11 It really is. What's funny is I mentioned that I thought the sounded a lot like the move and then just this past week realized California Man is a Move song!
	12:13pm clarke: yes, well, there's another great CT book that covers a lot that this new one does.
	12:14pm Glistener MW: egads!!! Well, one certainly can’t argue with an astute observation like “sucks”. Case closed, I presume. :/
	12:14pm clarke: Glass Onion doesn't suck - it is a play on whodunits. and a good one. i won't say it is great, but it is good.
	12:14pm Nate K: Not liking Glass Onion is a very trendy take. Sorry. My take: It’s fun! That’s is all.
	12:15pm Roberta: Was that booker t and the mg’s playing auld lang syne before the spinners?
	12:15pm berbo: ↳ clarke @12:11 I wonder if there are any recordings of the Sick Man of Europe lineup.
	12:15pm PNX: Where's a good album to start getting into R Stevie Moore?
	12:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Now" by "Dion" How do I still not have 'Kickin' Child' ?? Imposible to overstate Dylan's shifting the Culture - but does this unreleased (?!?!) Dion rewrite FokRawk History or is it just me ?
	12:16pm clarke: hey Nate!!! enjoyed your xmas show!
	12:16pm Corey: Nice to hear Dion belt it out!
	12:16pm Bob: Yeah, definitely not a sucker. It's big, fun entertainment. It's well done. Not a desert island classic or anything but it's a good time.
	12:16pm clarke: yes - Records!! for a sec, there.
	12:17pm drr: I didn't like Knives Out much, so will probably skip Glass Onion. I did enjoy right-winger Ben Shapiro's indignant tweet complaints about being misled by the clues in a whodunit.
	12:17pm Nate K: @clarke, yes! People who say it sucked probably don’t really think that; but, people who say it’s brilliant probably don’t really think that either. It’s fun!
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ berbo @12:15 there's that one song on the box-set = that's all i know about
	12:18pm phat in lincoln: @clarke by the way, I have been told from a reliable source that White Noise is not good.
	12:18pm Corey: Been really hung up on the Elvis at the International since you played them the other morning on Wake. Great Elvis banter and the best band in the world.
	12:18pm Hughie Considine: I enjoyed the second half of Glass Onion much more than the first. Knives Out was more solid. What song will they name the next one after? How about "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight"?
	12:18pm Hughie Considine: howdy Clarke-meister!
	12:19pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Corey @12:18 Band so laid back, but so HOT!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @12:18 my gal gave White Noise thumbs down
	12:20pm clarke: Hugh!! welcome to the new century!!
	12:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Mystery Train / Tiger Man (live '69)" by "Elvis P... ...if I had to do shows @ that pace every night I'd probly be on pills too...
	12:20pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:19 The previews looked terrifying. It's a shame, that book is brilliant.
	12:20pm DG: ↳ myron feld @12:05 Wow, didn't know that! I found her name on imdb, but no mention of her famous son.
	12:21pm Bob: The best thing about Glass Onion? It's not a goddamn superhero movie! The eight year old me would be sad over how much the middle-aged me hates the Marvel universe. Almost anything that isn't that is ok with me.
	12:21pm Kotzwinkled: White Noise is the definition of unfilmable, but if they were gonna try, they should've let Cronenberg do it.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:21 exactly!
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:19 ...was thinking the rhythm is - I dunno - a bit weird ? Doesn't swing like Rawkabilly @ its best - big band Vegas style drive I suppose ...that's ShowBiz.
	12:22pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:21 Yep.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:21 that's Ronnie Tutt, my friend.
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @12:21 I'm always posting old school Marvel graphix with the heading 'Marvel On Paper'...
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Roberta @12:15 Husky Team "Christmas In Memphis" !!!!
	12:23pm Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:22 Yeah, I can dig that
	12:23pm clarke: it's not a comix, vampire or zombie script - praise be!!
	12:23pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:21 I can't picture anyone filming any Dellilo well. Someone might be able to do Ratner's Star in the style of Solaris, I suppose.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: The Grass!
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:21 I endorse this event or product.
	12:24pm clarke: twigs.
	12:24pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:20 thanks, bud. Hoping for great things!
	12:24pm clarke: on grass.
	12:25pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "If You Wanna Go" by "Brett McKenzie" Hey Everyone! This song was really great. Thanks for playing, Michael.
	12:25pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "We Are Young" by "Supergrass" Ah, memories of the best movie ever, Clueless, pop into my head every time I hear this song.
	12:25pm Hughie Considine: When I lived in the East Village in the mid-80s, one of my roommates was working on a screenplay for White Noise. Many have tried!
	12:25pm clarke: who pianos on dis?? gaz??
	12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @12:21 ...I don't hate everything about the Marvel Cinematic Universe - but clearly a Quantity / Quality thing going on ...to be fair, there were enuff Formulaic Comic Books too - especially into the 1970s maybe... Hire Writers. Have ideas. It's - yerknow ...an option.
	12:26pm Hughie Considine: Gaz is a good guess
	12:27pm drr: George Martin.
	12:27pm clarke: sir george to you!!
	12:28pm drr: (I don't know. Supergrass is a group I 100% missed when they were first active. I think I heard them first on this show, actually--acoustic "Caught By The Fuzz"?)
	12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "A Harlem Girl" by "Crickets, The" ...datin' Satan - if he can stand her misery...
	12:29pm clarke: you going out tonite dave?
	12:30pm clarke: what happened to Handy? is he loading up the Floating Bookmobile and putting some fortified wine in the pontoons??
	12:30pm Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @12:28 Definitely worth some listens if you're not familiar with their stuff. They put out 6 albums and they're all either very good to great in my opinion.
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:30 I think he said he was on brunch duty.
	12:31pm clarke: i didn't know they had SIX - i have some learning to do, myself!
	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Juke Joint Boogie" by "Freddie Hart" Man I lurves Boogie pianner.
	12:32pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Break-A-Way" by "Irma Thomas" Good God, speaking of choruses!
	12:32pm Bob: Can someone do Supergrass playlist for me? I don't have the energy. Thanks!
	12:34pm drr: Frank: I ran out and bought I Should Coco, I like that one a lot.
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ phat in Lincoln @12:32 Contrast of agony & exuberance. The performance ! Perfection.
	12:34pm clarke: and you SHOULD coco!!
	12:34pm clarke: (at least on new year's eve)
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "God Save The Queen" by "Sex Pistols" Ever get the feeling you've been validated.
	12:35pm clarke: this IS a pop song!
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: I love that you like the Pistols, MS. Pop gems!
	12:35pm drr: clarke: hell no. (actually visiting people in town so I can hopefully avoid the rain of bullets over here).
	12:35pm phat in Lincoln: Turns out he meant it man.
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:25 Leaving aside "unfilmable," there's just no reason to film some things. Can't we just have books?
	12:36pm Michael Shelley: ↳ phat in Lincoln @12:35 maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
	12:36pm clarke: hope so!! (you should STILL coco, tho)
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:35 ZACKLY ...#1 ...tho they wouldn't list it :D
	12:36pm Bob: I think he ATE the queen
	12:37pm drr: I'm kidding, I hope. Fireworks viewing over here is pretty neat, always hundreds of people up on the levee watching and participating.
	12:37pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:36 Lol
	12:37pm StuartR: Save the Queen? What about the King? (There is a future 😀) despite what Johnny sang a few times in the 70s, 80s.
	12:37pm Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @12:34 You should go directly to "In It For The Money" then. Still has the some of the same speedy energy as "Coco" but with better songs. I think it's quite the step up in the songwriting department.
	12:37pm phat in Lincoln: Pistols woke me the ef up.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "God Save The Queen" by "Sex Pistols" Sh*t - they made an Alternative National Anthem. What more is there to aspire to.
	12:37pm drr: Handy: that's a good point. Someday they will film A Confederacy of Dunces and no matter how good it is it won't be right.
	12:38pm rx scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone. I hope you all have a happy new year.
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:36 Agreed, there's a certain arrogance in reading an extraordinary book and saying, "I must turn this into a major motion picture!"
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "God Save The Queen" by "Sex Pistols" Didn't SteveJones do some of the Bass too ? Gittar & Bass together ...a little unit called TheRamones...
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:37 they already tried once, right?
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:39 I was under the impression that Jonsey played bass on some of those tracks as well.
	12:39pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: It was Carol Kaye
	12:39pm phat in Lincoln: Holy hell.
	12:40pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:39 have they? I heard David Gordon Green had rights to do it but heard nothing else.
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @12:39 HaHa ! ...& BernardPurdie of course...
	12:40pm clarke: they kept some tracks that matlock played on - but most of the rest is Jonesy
	12:40pm Glistener MW: “We’re through the Jayooking glass here, people.”
	12:41pm drr: Sweet Corn Lizzie: Right! Bernard Purdie is the drummer on most of those Sex pistols tracks as well.
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "God Save The Queen" by "Sex Pistols" That opening stuttering riff (a riff on Eddie Cochran's "Something Else") was the brick and mortar of the Ramones and the ur-chord change that defined punk.
	12:41pm rx scabin: @Hughie Considine soory to pop into your discussion, but could the thinking be "I could make money from this."? A different flavor of arrogance.
	12:41pm Glistener MW: I wonder if they have a tribute-act north of the border called “EH and the Canadians”?
	12:41pm clarke: sid was in the hospital during recording, so luckily he was not on bass.
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:38 I can accept sometimes a Director has an Impression he wants to convey & share as legit. Problem with Movies is they're such a big deal & powerful that most people take them on as thee version of something ...& no one else films another...
	12:42pm drr: rx: if you're a good movie maker but not a good writer, it's got to be very tempting to go with a tried-and-true story.
	12:42pm Hughie Considine: @rx scabin, yes, arrogance is surely a many splendored thing!
	12:42pm alan the painter: ...this is a funny radio station, thank you Michael, an' for the notes, we peeps are odd...
	12:42pm Christina Ginger: Sid in hospital with the appendix?
	12:44pm Bob: I still just choose to believe Glen was the genius behind all of the Pistols stuff.
	12:44pm clarke: i think it was appendicidis, yes
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:42 ...and then the book comes out with the movie one-sheet on the cover, further confusing the issue. Some will read it, but many will probably assume they don't have to because they saw the movie. The book gets lost.
	12:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Bob @12:44 He did write the songs....
	12:45pm thriftstoreleather: Super great show Michael :) Happy New Year Everyone!!
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:44 you know it, Bob! but, credit must be given to jonesy for carrying through.
	12:45pm DG: As someone who read "...Dunces" around the time everyone was going crazy over it, I thought it was over-rated and not as funny as many found itm but I thought they could've made a better, more focused movie from it, but apparently it's "cursed"----actors who could've done a great job as the lead have died (Belushi, John Candy, maybe even Chris Farley, god help us) & I think it's had major problems. There was a stage production a few years ago (with Nick Offerman!) that I think went on without any drama....but not sure who could play the lead now (Phillip Seymour Hoffman would've been good too).
	12:46pm gf2002: South American Getaway, Bacharach! Amazing. Please play the full track sometime.
	12:47pm Bob: I finally saw Glen live this year with Blondie and he was just the coolest dude on stage. His Instagram posts are just great too. Seems like a great guy.
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @12:46 Indeed!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ DG @12:45 as someone who grew up in new orleans, i have not read CoD - and don't plan to.
	12:47pm Listener Baby: Baby. Glass Onion = Glass Piece of Poop. A much worst Ocean’s 11. And that wasn’t good either. Please avoid. I got through 20 minutes of it. Your are welcome.
	12:48pm Kotzwinkled: ↳ DG @12:45 Dunces probably can't be done, but that one dude from Wings was the spitting image of Ignatius from the illustration you often see on the paperback m.media-amazon.com...
	12:48pm Listener Baby: Worse
	12:48pm phat in Lincoln: I just remembered, I have to fix my car door... Pothole in Omaha caused something to come loose or snap, now the inside driver's handle doesn't work.
	12:48pm Hughie Considine: ↳ DG @12:45 So true, Hoffman would have been a great Ignatius J. Reilly, but it would take some genius direction to make that character work on screen.
	12:50pm clarke: no one could get the accent right, except someone from here - and that is dying out, too.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: Brunch is served!
	12:50pm gf2002: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:47 It's amazing how the same guy could be Tony The Tiger, sing You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch, and perform Bacharach at that level of musicianship and artistry. Thurl Ravenscroft
	12:50pm phat in Lincoln: My dad was a huge Mills Brothers fan. I need to break out those records.
	12:50pm clarke: there IS a comedian from here that can do the accent - but doubt he can act.
	12:51pm clarke: The Foxxx!!!
	12:51pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ gf2002 @12:50 Amazing
	12:51pm Squints: Mistook this Bill Fox for the Lemon Twigs for a second.
	12:51pm Bob: 20 minutes isn't even the setup for Glass Onion. I rewatched The Talented Mr Ripley the other night. Pretty much a perfect film. PSH is so great in it. Everybody is, really.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:51 and, for a sec i thought Supergrass was Twigs, ha ha
	12:52pm Dennis Diken: Fabulous show, Mikey (as per) - thanks for another year of amazing programs! Happy New Year, everybody!
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'll Give It Away" by "Bill Fox" Making me think Kim Shattuck.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:51 as a big Highsmith fan, i can get on board widdat!
	12:53pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:44 There’s a Faulkner? quote about “my book is there on the shelf, the didn’t ruin it “
	12:53pm Corey: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:52 For sure!
	12:53pm phat in Lincoln: Yes, great show as always, Michael. Happy New Year to all you Number One Hitsters!
	12:53pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:52 Lemon Twigs in their high school yearbook: "Ambition: To be all the bands."
	12:54pm clarke: i still need some rope moved. it's not gonna move itself!!
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'll Give It Away" by "Bill Fox" #1
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "History Lesson Part 2" by "Minutemen, The" Corn dogs!
	12:54pm dave: Love this song
	12:54pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "History Lesson Part 2" by "Minutemen, The" My heart always calms down when I hear that opening riff. Such a great song. Corn dogs!
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Fantastic show today. Happy New Year, Number Ones!
	12:54pm phat in Lincoln: We were fucking corn dogs
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:53 they lived it. corn dogs.
	12:55pm phat in Lincoln: ↳ Mr. Oxford @12:54 Same
	12:55pm Marie: one of the best songs ever?
	12:55pm Hughie Considine: Best show I ever saw: Minutemen at Maxwell's in '85.
	12:55pm bearded wonder: ↳ Song: "History Lesson Part 2" by "Minutemen, The" Minutemen ❤️
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great NYE show! Happy New Year everybody.
	12:55pm Mike Sin: Been listing to and enjoying the show while having a lazy breakfast and a gallon of coffee. Happy and healthy new year to Michael Shelley and his listeners !
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "History Lesson Part 2" by "Minutemen, The" Already nostalgic when laid down. Huh.
	12:56pm phat in Lincoln: Hoping Watt comes around again this year.
	12:56pm Mr. Oxford: Thanks, Michael for a great show! Happy New Year everyone!
	12:56pm P-90: Thanks @Michael for another year of Number One Hits, and Happy New Year to the whole darn Shelley clan
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: I wonder if we're gonna get that classic send-off..
	12:56pm phat in Lincoln: Punk rock saved my life too.
	12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY ALWAYS DJ MS ~
	12:56pm clarke: JUPE!!! HB, kiddo!!
	12:56pm drr: Bob: I haven't seen "Mr. Ripley", but the bit where PSH hops out of the sports car is priceless.
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: Happy New Year to you and the fam, Michael. And to all here on the chat as well.
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "May You Always" by "Juniper" My fave...thanks, Michael and Juniper!
	12:57pm Glistener MW: Thanks, Juniper! <3
	12:57pm clarke: very linus, here - compliment of compliments!!
