	6:14pm Frank In Queens: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:13 Indeed. Nice to see you here coel
	⚡ 6:15pm Jessie: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:10 Haha, slowly but surely getting there.
	6:15pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:12 Hi Kip! Honored you made it today.
	⚡ 6:17pm Jessie: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:12 Hey Kip!
	6:19pm Myron Feld: Hey Frank and gang — just tuned in and saw you played “Theme…”, one of the best things Mountain did (among several great things) and absolutely some of the best guitar playing by anyone. Saw them many times, so good, so loud.
	6:20pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Myron Feld @6:19 Hey Myron! Great to see you this weekend. There was no way I wasn't playing "Theme" during this hour. One of my fave tunes. The only question was which version to play. But in the end, it wasn't much of a question after all.
	6:22pm coelacanth∅: i have to weigh in, at least, to say i like...Love - Jack's and mountain's about equally.
	⚡ 6:27pm Christina Ginger: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:22 Not only do we get good music, we get purchasing tips as well, folks.
	⚡ 6:29pm Jessie: @FIQ...Did you see that Saint Vitus bassist Mark Adams passed away. He co-founded the band with guitarist Dave Chandler. I love the first two albums.
	6:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:22 I have a very special version of the song that I'll drag out and play one of these days. I just had to play the Mountain version today.
	6:30pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Jessie @6:29 Yes, I did. Crazy how many musicians we're losing, and not all of them are from the Baby Boom generation.
	6:31pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "I Feel Free" by "Cream" Used so memorably over the closing credits of the Sopranos episode when Junior and Livia try to have Tony whacked.
	6:31pm KickOutTheJams Joe: Hey Frank - digging the show as always. Didnt know of Pete The Poet. Hard Stuff is a graduate class in hard rock every Tuesday night!
	6:31pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "I Feel Free" by "Cream" This is one of the greatest musical moments if the 1960s.
	6:32pm Frank In Queens: ↳ KickOutTheJams Joe @6:31 Thanks Joey! Hoping enrollment goes up each time the course is given!
	6:33pm myron feld: ↳ Mike Sin @6:31 Seconded. The opening note!
	6:33pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Mike Sin @6:31 Another "how do I NOT play this song" moment.
	6:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Christina Ginger @6:27 hi Christina...just washed that wheels of fire album last night -total coincidence i'm in the Cr... for the past few weeks. haven't listened to it in a million years, i guess i won't expect much!
	6:34pm Mike Sin: The original singles are still the best way to hear a lot of these Cream tracks -- and they are still dirt cheap!
	⚡ 6:35pm Cream Singles: ↳ Mike Sin @6:34 Not that cheap. Gotta buy us dinner first.
	6:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:34 Some are better than others, but none are really that impressive unfortunately. But some folks like it that way, so I reserve the right to be told to piss off ;)
	6:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:29 psyched to hear that! and it makes sense to play the mountain version - 1 of their 2 best songs, in my opinion. there's a lot to choose from from songs for a tailor after all
	6:36pm getinthagroove: Ready for some Hard and Heavy, Frank!
	⚡ 6:36pm Jessie: ↳ Cream Singles @6:35 Do I need to swipe left??
	6:36pm getinthagroove: Hey everyone!!
	6:38pm Frank In Queens: ↳ getinthagroove @6:36 Hey Groove!
	6:38pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Pete Brown looked a lot like former pro wrestler Joe Turco. Unfortunately, that is about the only insight I can offer into his career.
	⚡ 6:38pm Christina Ginger: ↳ getinthagroove @6:36 Hey there GITA!
	⚡ 6:38pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "Weird Of Hermiston" by "Jack Bruce" LOVE this track!
	6:38pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Weird Of Hermiston" by "Jack Bruce" Another underrated composition right here.
	6:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:36 i do sometimes appreciate what some people call "under-produced"! (free is a good example -kind of flat, but impressive arrangements...)
	⚡ 6:39pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Mike Sin @6:34 The first press mono LP's are how I prefer my Cream!
	6:39pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @6:38 That's ok. Any insight is always welcome!
	6:39pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:38 I had a feeling you might
	6:40pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Weird Of Hermiston" by "Jack Bruce" This LP should get as much attention the Blind Faith LP. It's fallen behind that in the immediate "post-Cream" releases
	6:42pm getinthagroove: I need to revisit Cream, it’s been a minute since I’ve spun them
	6:43pm John eye: Loving all of the Jack Bruce and Pete Brown music/lyrics. Politician one of my favorite. Outstanding bass playing combined with Clapton’s double tracked guitar work. Thanks Felix Papalarti.
	6:43pm getinthagroove: Politician has such a nice groove
	6:43pm Mike Sin: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:39 Definitely the first LP, but i still prefer the digital reissue of the mono Disraeli Gears
	6:43pm coelacanth∅: also Love Betty Davis' version of politician
	6:44pm getinthagroove: Hiya Christina!!
	6:45pm John eye: Disraeli Gears was the first album I ever bought after hearing Sunshine of your Love on AM radio in nyc
	6:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Mike Sin @6:40 The first three (including the jazz album with Hiseman, Heckstall-Smith, and McLaughlin) are essential. Unfortunately, the drugs bogged him down starting in the mid-70s, but he rebounded a bit later in the decade and always managed to come up with something great and eclectic. When I found out about the Kip Hanrahan records he did in the 80s, my jaw it the floor.
	⚡ 6:46pm Christina Ginger: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:43 Oooh, I haven’t heard that! Will have to check it out.
	6:48pm Frank In Queens: ↳ John eye @6:45 Hi John. LOVE hearing that. Fast forward about 20something years and it was one of the first albums I bought on CD when I was about 12 or so.
	6:49pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "White Room" by "Cream" Maybe Ginger's finest moment in Cream?
	6:49pm John eye: Very cool you were very hip at 12 years old. I was very young when I bought the album probaly 13 or 14
	⚡ 6:50pm Chris Crash: ↳ Song: "White Room" by "Cream" The immortal classic!
	6:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Song: "White Room" by "Cream" On Uncle Floyd, "Sour Cream" changed this to "White Castle". The best thing ever. I wish I could remember more lyrics, but I do recall Mugsy singing "Guy behind me looked like Stymie, on The Rascals..."
	6:51pm John eye: White Room wheels of fire forever
	6:51pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chris Crash @6:50 Well, this one has it all. The three of them playing their asses off, Pete's lyrics, the wah-wah...
	6:51pm Myron Feld: For all Clapton’s faults (of all kinds), while in Cream he was a really good psychedelic guitarist.
	6:52pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @6:51 Genius!
	6:53pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Myron Feld @6:51 He managed to hold his own with Jack and Ginger. Not an easy feat!
	6:53pm John eye: Todd Uncle Floyd my favorite show in the early eighties
	⚡ 6:53pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @6:51 It has to be somewhere on the YouTube. I demand it!
	⚡ 6:54pm medson: Great show and tribute FIQ. Killer stuff
	6:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Christina Ginger @6:53 Unfortunately, not. The tapes of most of the shows were erased. Believe me, I have spent many a fruitless evening looking for it!
	⚡ 6:54pm Jessie: Excellent show tonight Frank. Thank you.
	6:55pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @6:54 Yeah, the DVD from a number of years ago is probably the best one can do to see some of the old Floyd show, but it's in no way comprehensive or even a "best of".
	⚡ 6:55pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, Frank!
	6:56pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Jessie @6:54 No, thank YOU Jessie. Thanks for tuning in and chatting away here tonight.
	6:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:53 i've often said i think Clapton is at his best -his best being excellent - when he's competing with someone.
	6:56pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:55 Cheers Kip! Great to see you here today.
	6:56pm RKO_CityGardensOG: Made the last hour of work fly by! Thanks Frank!
	⚡ 6:57pm Chris Crash: Excellent tribute!!
	6:57pm Frank In Queens: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:56 You're not wrong! Blind Faith obviously had it's share of heavy hitters, but the boys in the Dominoes were no slouches either!
	6:58pm LesleyK: thanks Frank! great show tonight!
	6:58pm Frank In Queens: ↳ RKO_CityGardensOG @6:56 Hey RKO! Glad to hear it. I should use something like that as my tag line.
	6:58pm coelacanth∅: no, and his best work in the dominoes was when up against Duane
	6:58pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chris Crash @6:57 Thanks Chris!
	⚡ 6:58pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Frank, a fine fond farewell to Jack mate! 🌏🌧️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	6:58pm Frank In Queens: ↳ LesleyK @6:58 Thank you Lesley!
	6:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Frank!
	6:59pm Frank In Queens: Thank you all for tuning in today. It was a fun one to put together for me. Be sure to head on over to Joey's page as Kick Out The Jams is coming up NEXT!
	7:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:58 (but not to be misunderstood... yes the whole band was formidable)
	7:04pm John eye: Hey Joe Let’s rock
	⚡ 7:09pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Frank!!!

The sound of the 60s becoming the 70s...and beyond! Late-era garage and early hard rock, with a pinch of more "modern" sounds thrown in for flavor. Fuzz, frets, riffage, and wattage. Let your hair down on WFMU's Rock And Soul Radio and get a taste of the "Hard Stuff".

	6:40pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Weird Of Hermiston" by "Jack Bruce" This LP should get as much attention the Blind Faith LP. It's fallen behind that in the immediate "post-Cream" releases
	6:42pm getinthagroove: I need to revisit Cream, it’s been a minute since I’ve spun them
	6:43pm John eye: Loving all of the Jack Bruce and Pete Brown music/lyrics. Politician one of my favorite. Outstanding bass playing combined with Clapton’s double tracked guitar work. Thanks Felix Papalarti.
	6:43pm getinthagroove: Politician has such a nice groove
	6:43pm Mike Sin: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:39 Definitely the first LP, but i still prefer the digital reissue of the mono Disraeli Gears
	6:43pm coelacanth∅: also Love Betty Davis' version of politician
	6:44pm getinthagroove: Hiya Christina!!
	6:45pm John eye: Disraeli Gears was the first album I ever bought after hearing Sunshine of your Love on AM radio in nyc
	6:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Mike Sin @6:40 The first three (including the jazz album with Hiseman, Heckstall-Smith, and McLaughlin) are essential. Unfortunately, the drugs bogged him down starting in the mid-70s, but he rebounded a bit later in the decade and always managed to come up with something great and eclectic. When I found out about the Kip Hanrahan records he did in the 80s, my jaw it the floor.
	⚡ 6:46pm Christina Ginger: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:43 Oooh, I haven’t heard that! Will have to check it out.
	6:48pm Frank In Queens: ↳ John eye @6:45 Hi John. LOVE hearing that. Fast forward about 20something years and it was one of the first albums I bought on CD when I was about 12 or so.
	6:49pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "White Room" by "Cream" Maybe Ginger's finest moment in Cream?
	6:49pm John eye: Very cool you were very hip at 12 years old. I was very young when I bought the album probaly 13 or 14
	⚡ 6:50pm Chris Crash: ↳ Song: "White Room" by "Cream" The immortal classic!
	6:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Song: "White Room" by "Cream" On Uncle Floyd, "Sour Cream" changed this to "White Castle". The best thing ever. I wish I could remember more lyrics, but I do recall Mugsy singing "Guy behind me looked like Stymie, on The Rascals..."
	6:51pm John eye: White Room wheels of fire forever
	6:51pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chris Crash @6:50 Well, this one has it all. The three of them playing their asses off, Pete's lyrics, the wah-wah...
	6:51pm Myron Feld: For all Clapton’s faults (of all kinds), while in Cream he was a really good psychedelic guitarist.
	6:52pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @6:51 Genius!
	6:53pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Myron Feld @6:51 He managed to hold his own with Jack and Ginger. Not an easy feat!
	6:53pm John eye: Todd Uncle Floyd my favorite show in the early eighties
	⚡ 6:53pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @6:51 It has to be somewhere on the YouTube. I demand it!
	⚡ 6:54pm medson: Great show and tribute FIQ. Killer stuff
	6:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Christina Ginger @6:53 Unfortunately, not. The tapes of most of the shows were erased. Believe me, I have spent many a fruitless evening looking for it!
	⚡ 6:54pm Jessie: Excellent show tonight Frank. Thank you.
	6:55pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @6:54 Yeah, the DVD from a number of years ago is probably the best one can do to see some of the old Floyd show, but it's in no way comprehensive or even a "best of".
	⚡ 6:55pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, Frank!
	6:56pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Jessie @6:54 No, thank YOU Jessie. Thanks for tuning in and chatting away here tonight.
	6:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:53 i've often said i think Clapton is at his best -his best being excellent - when he's competing with someone.
	6:56pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:55 Cheers Kip! Great to see you here today.
	6:56pm RKO_CityGardensOG: Made the last hour of work fly by! Thanks Frank!
	⚡ 6:57pm Chris Crash: Excellent tribute!!
	6:57pm Frank In Queens: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:56 You're not wrong! Blind Faith obviously had it's share of heavy hitters, but the boys in the Dominoes were no slouches either!
	6:58pm LesleyK: thanks Frank! great show tonight!
	6:58pm Frank In Queens: ↳ RKO_CityGardensOG @6:56 Hey RKO! Glad to hear it. I should use something like that as my tag line.
	6:58pm coelacanth∅: no, and his best work in the dominoes was when up against Duane
	6:58pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chris Crash @6:57 Thanks Chris!
	⚡ 6:58pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Frank, a fine fond farewell to Jack mate! 🌏🌧️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	6:58pm Frank In Queens: ↳ LesleyK @6:58 Thank you Lesley!
	6:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Frank!
	6:59pm Frank In Queens: Thank you all for tuning in today. It was a fun one to put together for me. Be sure to head on over to Joey's page as Kick Out The Jams is coming up NEXT!
	7:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:58 (but not to be misunderstood... yes the whole band was formidable)
	7:04pm John eye: Hey Joe Let’s rock
	⚡ 7:09pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Frank!!!
