	11:07am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:06 Happens every few years on the south shore. One swam the canal six or seven years or so and ended up on the cape until they tranq'd him and put him somewhere safter. Had a Twitter handle and everything.
	11:07am Frank In Queens: hey NOW!!!!
	11:07am Listener Baby: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:07 One could
	11:08am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:07 i could be that one.

	11:08am clarke: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "Easybeats, The" the line that gets me: even my dad looks good
	11:08am Don Gorden: Yo Mike HRU doing, Love that sing ,Friday night

	11:10am Don Gorden: The Bucket as well , love this tune
	11:10am Bob: Good morning, everyone

	11:11am ChrisB.: We had a bar in town known as the bucket of blood. Don’t think I ever new it’s real name. I was a very rough place.
	11:11am Squints: ↳ Bob @11:10 hi Bob. Crap, Now I have to take a drink.
	11:11am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:11 Almost has to be, right?
	11:12am clarke: sometimes you eat the bar....
	11:12am listener phat in Lincoln: Goddamn nailing it today, Michael.
	11:12am clarke: 7/10

	11:13am listener phat in Lincoln: Two of my favorite tunes of all time already.
	11:13am clarke: rev!
	11:13am Mister Dobalina: Wow, what a crazy life for Little Willie John..yikes!
	11:13am Squints: Almost popped the $40-odd for EC/NL/LS and MGM up by Fenway for July 6. Then some college buddies asked if I wanted to see all them at Tanglewood July 1. okay, then.
	11:13am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning gang!
	11:13am Andres: Good morning. Saturday morning party sounds!
	11:13am myron feld: ↳ Song: "I'm Shakin'" by "Little Willie John" Introduced to this song by The Blasters. Forever grateful.
	11:13am clarke: the real drums are already crazy enough on Shakin' ha ha ha
	11:14am Mister Dobalina: Oh gosh, Frankie Lymon, why'd you have to go out like that? Geez.
	11:14am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:13 the blasters knowingly toned down the drum part
	11:14am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:12 A bad, bad rabbit. This here Revolution Rabbit. hey HEY hey.
	11:15am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I'm Shakin'" by "Little Willie John" I like to see AI make a song this great. Best of luck, chump computer.
	11:15am Andres: CanCon!
	11:15am Mister Dobalina: Gotta go feed the chickens, brb.
	11:15am Peter Horvath: Good morning from the same building, Michael and #1’ers

	11:16am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	11:16am Andres: ↳ Squints @11:15 Bubbly even.
	11:16am clarke: go feed the chickens - a euphemism?
	11:16am johnk77: great set selecter 91.1 stereo extra-nice & noise-free today
	11:17am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:16 We can only hope
	11:17am David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Haven't Met You Yet" by "Michael Bublé" I hear this everyday at work.
	11:17am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	11:17am listener phat in Lincoln: Man, I gotta do the dishes.
	11:17am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	11:17am prof.fuzz: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:17 definitely a euphemism!
	11:18am Nordstrom: Here at Hamm & Buble...

	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ Nordstrom @11:18 Good one!

	11:20am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:10 Morning, Clarke
	11:20am Listener Baby: No
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: Couple of these came today: www.etsy.com...
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:20 yessirree bob!!
	11:20am rx scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must get the truck ready to go pick up some wine. A good day.
	11:21am Squints: ↳ David Shortell @11:17 He's not gonna sing us a love song.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ rx scabin @11:20 now we know where Handy is - beward of getting hijacked!!!
	11:21am Joe Mulligan 🦀: I also have never smoked a cigarette, but a coworker once told me of course you have! You’re in New York and have breathed in tons of smoke just walking by other smokers
	11:22am clarke: beware, that is
	11:22am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:21 Too late.
	11:23am Listener Baby: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:21 Very true. If you went to clubs in the 1980s, you were a chain smoker, like it or not.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:22 there you are!! i think you missed something i wrote to you the other day??
	11:23am Squints: ↳ rx scabin @11:20 While you got the truck, we might need some rope moved.
	11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: Glad I quit smoking, but I miss the eff out of it. I don't miss drinking, however.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Song: "Harry Rag" by "Kinks, The" certainly avory on dat.
	11:24am Pedro in Arlington: When you're done remixing Born in the USA, please do all post-Arista Kinks albums. Thanks Mike.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:23 just some rope.
	11:24am johnk77: interesting about versions https://www.kbdrecords.com/2010/07/18/the-jags-back-of-my-hand-7/
	11:26am Squints: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:24 Whatever else, Born In The USA is a gorgeous sounding record. At least the clangy stuff is.
	11:26am rx scabin: If you want friends, get a pickup truck. One is required to own a pickup truck and one piece of safety yellow clothing where I live, or so it seems.
	11:26am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Since smoking is banned inside buildings, while walking from the subway to the office everyday there would be smokers on the sidewalk in front of the buildings, blowing smoke in my face. I don’t miss that at all
	11:27am clarke: 7/10
	11:27am jmd: Nailed the landing.
	11:27am johnk77: warren zanes new book about making of nebraska getting good reviews i have not <yet> read
	11:27am Bob: Farmers market is killing it already. I got some early strawberries, mushroom, spring onions, basil and some beautiful garlic scapes.
	11:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:23 Dunno -- I guess I must have.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:28 there are two docs on Richard Thompson that might incur some Handy interest (on youtube): A Solitary Man and The Winding Road
	11:28am prof.fuzz: yo handy!
	11:29am Handy Haversack: Thanks, clarke. Hey, prof.
	11:29am Michael Shelley: will do!
	11:29am Bob: The Peter Case doc is cheap on Prime and really good. Uplifting really. Such a good guy.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:29 both are great and cover different eras
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:29 will check dat!! thnx
	11:31am johnk77: peter case on my watch list i lived & worked socal early 1980s
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Song: "Say It Like You Mean It" by "Shoes" awesome!!
	11:31am Toothgrinder Tom: The smoke gets in your hair.
	11:32am Bob: Smoking really does make you look cool though. They lied to us.
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When I was homeless for a while in SoCal I would light one Camel filterless with another ...until my little lungs said No More. Somehow - quitting was no big deal @ all. But - don't come between me & the Caffeines...
	11:33am clarke: when they banned smoking nationwide, new orleans paid NO attention to that news. it took YEARS for them to obey. therefore, i would go on the road and not get covered, for once - then return to the smoke.
	11:33am Mister Dobalina: Takin' it to the limit, go Eagles.
	11:33am Hughie Considine: Fpr 6 mill they should play the liner notes too.
	11:33am Glistener MW: You know who WASN’T happy about NYC banning smoking? Joe Jackson. Your story just reminded me of the angry standalone-single about the smoking ban that he released at the time (“In 20-0-4”)
	11:33am Squints: $6 million for just the one song would be hilarious. That had better one long solo.
	11:34am Hughie Considine: ↳ Glistener MW @11:33 But then again, the man behind "Everything Gives You Cancer" was not pleased with much in this world.
	11:34am johnk77: industrial gigs they were called late 70s & early 80s easier to keep secret back then huey lewis a pioneer? rich bay area early mega-corps?
	11:35am clarke: RIP Jack!! did not know this.
	11:35am Bob: Oh man. I didn't realize Jack Lee died. He's interviewed in the Peter Case doc. Looked like a recent interview. He didn't seem in great shape.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:34 but it DID have numbers in the title!
	11:36am Squints: Haven't seen any details, but apparently Justine Couvault (Justine & The Unclean, among others) passed away a few days ago. Far too young.
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:35 yeah, was gonna ask about that.
	11:37am clarke: my eyes don't see so good.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @11:36 Oh, that's terrible news, Squints. Sorry to hear it.
	11:37am Mister Dobalina: I had a autographed Frank Rizzo cartoon photo & for the life of me can't find it. Errrr!
	11:38am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:33 Seconded WRT caffeine. Wish I could shake it. Maybe after I retire. Like THAT's even gonna happen.
	11:38am myron feld: A person I'm close with did travel for bands for many years. She informs me that when they get those big private party gigs (and paydays), the band pays all the expenses out of it (crew, transportation, lodging, etc), so the Eagles didn't get to keep the entire $6mm. Just most of it.
	11:39am clarke: the poor fucking eagles!!
	11:40am Bob: Are they paying Vince Gill an equal share? I wonder.
	11:40am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:39 Hurts, right?
	11:40am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:35 Always a mitigating factor!
	11:40am Glistener MW: Ha! - and Joe did get out, of the bar and the country. If I recall interviews with him at the time, the NYC smoking ban was a final straw towards his decision to move back to the UK
	11:41am johnk77: sidemen get less than part-owners
	11:41am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:39 PF63 will play your corporate rich asshole house party for half of what the eagles charge... ask a prof for details.
	11:42am ChrisB.: I quit smoking 9 months ago after decades. It was hard but I’m happy at the outcome.
	11:43am Hughie Considine: In retrospect, Joe Jackson might have been the truly most bitter of the Angry Young Men of 1979. Costello and Graham Parker seem much more chill than Joe at this point.
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ ChrisB. @11:42 Good job!
	11:43am Glistener MW: Congrats, Chris!!!
	11:43am Glistener MW: Agreed, Hughie!
	11:44am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Rizzo! Philly has a legacy of corrupt mayors. Now it’s NYC
	11:44am johnk77: joe jackson lived on king st. nyc for a while around the 1990s? he was a tall guy who loved smoking ciggies hanging out in bars & clubs seeing cool live bands etc.
	11:44am Montmaster J: joejackson.com... Love Joe. Here he is on the vodka martini
	11:44am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Corner Tap" by "Joe Rian And The A.M. Drinkers" I was a letter carrier for a brief time in my youth. The veteran mailpersons would finish their routes by 10:30-11:00 and immediately descend upon the tavern til it was clock-out time (2:00).
	11:44am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:41 nope i want the eagles
	11:45am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:44 you get what you pay for...
	11:45am Hughie Considine: I'm told you can get Bernie Leadon at a far more reasonable price point.
	11:45am Bob: Bernie was my Eagle
	11:45am johnk77: glenn felder does industrials
	11:45am UncleHeavy: ↳ Song: "(We Ain't Here Looking For) No Trouble" by "Jimmy... Is this a New Orleans song?? I get a strong whiff of Toussaint's production style here...
	11:45am clarke: i want felder!!
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 Mr Felder might actually pay you.
	11:46am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:45 hahaha
	11:46am Bob: I read Felder's autobiography for some reason. He even makes himself sound like an asshole.
	11:46am clarke: how about Felder, Leadon & Meisner for ten grand.
	11:46am G: Breaux Bridge
	11:47am johnk77: my friend merwin told me bernie was by far the coolest eagle that was 1970s
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:46 Sold!
	11:47am clarke: what G said - there's an R in there (and a good joke to go widdat)
	11:47am Hubig Pie: Try the veal. It's the best in the city
	11:47am G: If you're getting married, it could be Beau Bridge :-)
	11:48am Hughie Considine: ↳ johnk77 @11:47 and he apparently made his departure official by pouring a beer (Coors probably) over Glen Frey's talented head.
	11:48am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Hilarious you left the “you forgot your jacket too” note in the loaner, Michael! Good one
	11:48am Andres: Honeymoon Suite. CanCon. ;)
	11:48am SecretSquirrel: Breaux Bridge! Best crawfish in the world
	11:48am myron feld: We had a great meal at Cafe des Amis is Breaux Bridge. I think it's gone.
	11:49am Hubig Pie: Nietzche boys on the battlefront
	11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: Randy Meisner, from Scottsbluff, NE. An awful, awful little town.
	11:49am clarke: the girls from carencro - i have sampled.
	11:50am johnk77: meisner was a conflicted guy did not enjoy being with henley, frey, etc. late 1970s generally sang the high harmonies
	11:50am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:49 As a midwesterner myself, even I consider that a flyover state
	11:50am G: ↳ myron feld @11:48 i think it shut during Rona? Maybe reopened now? Maybe same ownership or new, not sure?
	11:50am clarke: ↳ johnk77 @11:50 well, Felder HATES henley and frey
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joe Walsh gets a Pardon ?
	11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:50 Lincoln and Omaha are fine. Omaha is actually pretty hip. Lincoln ebbs and flows but always has a great music scene.
	11:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" Maybe my fave EC album.
	11:52am Folksnake: ↳ myron feld @11:44 And that's when the USPS was at its best!
	11:52am Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:51 perfect lp
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:51 yeah felder loves joe
	11:52am G: ↳ Bob @11:50 Nebraska has been running tourism ads on sports shows. They make fun of there being no tourist destinations there.
	11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" Agree. Took awhile to fully embrace. More aggressive and pile-driving than Pump It Up ... this one's a mighty beast.
	11:52am johnk77: i wish meisner and walsh had been together felder loves golf
	11:52am myron feld: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:49 Maybe, but the sign at Scotty's drive-in was pretty cool when we were there. I hope it still is.
	11:53am Bob: This is EC's best ever record and I will accept no dissent
	11:53am prof.fuzz: ↳ G @11:52 Nebraska: Gateway to Colorado
	11:53am DJ Johnny Cool: Just saw EC and Nick Lowe last night. Wow, what a show!
	11:53am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ G @11:52 There are an awful lot of idiots making expensive decisions in this state.
	11:53am egould: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" I saw Elvis and Nick Lowe last night. Good show. Lots of wine.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" i love this tune, but not fond of what naive plays in the verses.
	11:53am Jeff formerly from Rahway: I remember buying this EC record at Sound-A-Rama Records in Rahway when it was released.
	11:53am SecretSquirrel: @handy Top 5 Elvis Costello for sure. Extra points for the liner notes in Esperanto
	11:54am listener phat in Lincoln: Southwest Nebraska is actually one of the most beautiful secrets in the US, if you love startling vistas. It's gorgeous.
	11:54am Glistener MW: !!! another EC track that took years to grow on me after its release. I seem to recall there was a different mix on some versions of the LP that removed the horse clops after the line “a horse that knows arithmetic”. A mistake, I say. I want horse-math in as many songs as possible.
	11:54am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" I like the song, don’t love it. Was he doing his broadway series at this time? I went 2or3x Was joe Jackson called “the Elvis Costello for the tall set”? Uh, joe is tall (kinda)
	11:54am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:54 is it hilly or flat??
	11:54am DJ Johnny Cool: ↳ egould @11:53 Lots of wine. Too many drunk boomers.
	11:54am Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:51 And King of America came out a few months before or after and it must have felt like the mid 60s again with such productivity.
	11:54am Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" And you think "Nightshift" is overwrought.
	11:55am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:54 That's a good tip. I haven't actually seen much other than the drive to CO
	11:55am Squints: ↳ Song: "Please Don't Cry" by "Eyes, The" This is a place where there is time to play b-sides.
	11:55am clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @11:54 going to have to archive your show, today, buddy! lsu in super-regionals.
	11:56am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:54 Nebraska isn't generally all that flat, certainly not like KS or OK. But SW Nebraska is full of all sorts of valleys and hills. It's like something out of a beautifully shot western, only real.
	11:56am egould: ↳ DJ Johnny Cool @11:54 Some drunk Gen Xers too.
	11:57am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:55 I always tell people to get off I-80 in Nebraska. Just don't necessarily talk to anyone. Lol.
	11:58am johnk77: cabelas has a campground
	11:58am Andres: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:57 Locals not friendly?
	11:59am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:56 interest level peaked. hmm... college world series is next week....nah.
	11:59am DJ Johnny Cool: Garrett T Capps coming to Seattle next month. Woo hoo!
	11:59am Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ clarke @11:55 It will be there for you.
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @11:59 with the Friends theme??
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @11:59 then again, if we happen to suck today... maybe i make the show.
	12:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Andres @11:58 It depends. Probably nicer than people in, say, Colorado, but small town Nebraska is, well, very MAGA. There are nice enough people, but be wary. I hate to say that. In Lincoln and Omaha, they're just like any typical metro area in the US. Mostly nice, likely kind of boring, possibly very interesting.
	12:01pm Bob Barth: Michael you are clearing my head with this fantastic bops. I'll have to do something about that...
	12:01pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ johnk77 @11:58 Cabela's left Nebraska
	12:02pm clarke: extreme stereo - where's DRR>??
	12:02pm Andres: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:00 I’m good with boring. :)

	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:03 this man knew something about ROPE!!!
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Andres @12:02 I keep myself amused. But boy, boring people spend money on tedious buildings that I have to look at.
	12:04pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Twirl" by "Little Luther" Pre-clicked
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:59 Let me know if not nah!
	12:05pm clarke: we gotta get thru kentucky first. (i don't think i will geaux, though, anyway).
	12:05pm egould: ↳ Song: "She's A Sensation" by "Ramones" The good stuff!
	12:06pm Bob: This album doesn't get enough love in their catalog. My gateway to the Ramones
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:06 you don't have Underground Garage, i take it.
	12:07pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:06 This whole record, top to bottom, front to back, is Numbah One.
	12:07pm clarke: Squints has done the math.
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Boston" by "Byrds, The" oh jes!!!
	12:09pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:07 Yup. It's Science. You wunna wanna argue with Science, would ya?
	12:09pm Bob: ↳ Squints @12:07 I totally agree. Wasn't there supposed to be an improved mix of it coming out? Maybe it did
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Boston" by "Byrds, The" Early Flyte BYrdS ...one senses JFK's living presence still ...don't ask me to explain that ...well, they soared out of the New Frontier...
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:09 just as long as you haven't done the meth.
	12:10pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:10 No rope was moved.
	12:11pm clarke: spritzers!!!

	12:12pm clarke: poke is more tart than collards

	12:13pm Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:12 Yep. Had the vinyl. Step up over Phil. Much as I love the songs on the record before.
	12:13pm HJS: You don’t make friends with salad

	12:15pm Hubig Pie: Poke salat- but everyone already knows that
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Fading Day" by "Chandeliers, The" TRIGGERED!!!!!!
	12:15pm Squints: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:15 Well, wait for him to play it, anyway. Unless my feed is lagging.
	12:16pm clarke: he shoots... he scores!!!
	12:16pm johnk77: amazing i must have gone just before it closed
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Squints @12:15 Just the thought of it though!
	12:17pm Bob: The Pollk Salad Annie 45 by Tony Joe White might be the best sounding 7" ever pressed. I don't know what it is exactly. They just knew how to do it. It's amazing. Try it sometime on an old Califone or Newcomb player.
	12:17pm Squints: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 I'm sure it will geet a harrumph out of me.

	12:31pm Joe Mulligan 🦀: Cabelas stores and bass pro shops are quite the example of redneck megastores.. huge taxidermy displays, fishing tanks, hunting/fishing gear… worth pulling off the highway just to see the rural spectacle.

	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "A Legal Matter" by "Who, The" Roger would not sing it reportedly too close to the bone for his situation just then.

	11:07am clarke: i've had to don a helmet with this barrage...
	11:07am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "Easybeats, The" One could argue this is the greatest pop song ever.
	11:07am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:06 Happens every few years on the south shore. One swam the canal six or seven years or so and ended up on the cape until they tranq'd him and put him somewhere safter. Had a Twitter handle and everything.
	11:07am Frank In Queens: hey NOW!!!!
	11:07am Listener Baby: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:07 One could

	11:11am ChrisB.: We had a bar in town known as the bucket of blood. Don’t think I ever new it’s real name. I was a very rough place.
	11:11am Squints: ↳ Bob @11:10 hi Bob. Crap, Now I have to take a drink.
	11:11am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:11 Almost has to be, right?

	11:12am listener phat in Lincoln: Goddamn nailing it today, Michael.
	11:12am clarke: 7/10
	11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz~
	11:13am listener phat in Lincoln: Two of my favorite tunes of all time already.
	11:13am clarke: rev!
	11:13am Mister Dobalina: Wow, what a crazy life for Little Willie John..yikes!
	11:13am Squints: Almost popped the $40-odd for EC/NL/LS and MGM up by Fenway for July 6. Then some college buddies asked if I wanted to see all them at Tanglewood July 1. okay, then.
	11:13am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning gang!
	11:13am Andres: Good morning. Saturday morning party sounds!
	11:13am myron feld: ↳ Song: "I'm Shakin'" by "Little Willie John" Introduced to this song by The Blasters. Forever grateful.
	11:13am clarke: the real drums are already crazy enough on Shakin' ha ha ha
	11:14am Mister Dobalina: Oh gosh, Frankie Lymon, why'd you have to go out like that? Geez.
	11:14am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:13 the blasters knowingly toned down the drum part
	11:14am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:12 A bad, bad rabbit. This here Revolution Rabbit. hey HEY hey.
	11:15am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I'm Shakin'" by "Little Willie John" I like to see AI make a song this great. Best of luck, chump computer.

	11:15am Mister Dobalina: Gotta go feed the chickens, brb.
	11:15am Peter Horvath: Good morning from the same building, Michael and #1’ers
	11:15am Squints: ↳ Song: "Haven't Met You Yet" by "Michael Bublé" Feelin' all fizzy inside.
	11:16am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ myron feld @11:13 Absolutely
	11:16am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	11:16am Andres: ↳ Squints @11:15 Bubbly even.
	11:16am clarke: go feed the chickens - a euphemism?
	11:16am johnk77: great set selecter 91.1 stereo extra-nice & noise-free today
	11:17am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:16 We can only hope
	11:17am David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Haven't Met You Yet" by "Michael Bublé" I hear this everyday at work.
	11:17am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	11:17am listener phat in Lincoln: Man, I gotta do the dishes.
	11:17am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	11:17am prof.fuzz: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:17 definitely a euphemism!
	11:18am Nordstrom: Here at Hamm & Buble...
	11:18am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:17 they won't do themselves??
	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ Nordstrom @11:18 Good one!
	11:18am Michael Shelley: ↳ David Shortell @11:17 where do you work?
	11:19am Hughie Considine: House of Buble?
	11:19am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:18 Sadly, no
	11:19am clarke: @Squints: Hamms, Old Style, Jax, Olympia. period.
	11:20am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:10 Morning, Clarke
	11:20am Listener Baby: No
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: Couple of these came today: www.etsy.com...
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:20 yessirree bob!!
	11:20am rx scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must get the truck ready to go pick up some wine. A good day.
	11:21am Squints: ↳ David Shortell @11:17 He's not gonna sing us a love song.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ rx scabin @11:20 now we know where Handy is - beward of getting hijacked!!!
	11:21am Joe Mulligan 🦀: I also have never smoked a cigarette, but a coworker once told me of course you have! You’re in New York and have breathed in tons of smoke just walking by other smokers
	11:22am clarke: beware, that is
	11:22am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:21 Too late.
	11:23am Listener Baby: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:21 Very true. If you went to clubs in the 1980s, you were a chain smoker, like it or not.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:22 there you are!! i think you missed something i wrote to you the other day??
	11:23am Squints: ↳ rx scabin @11:20 While you got the truck, we might need some rope moved.
	11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: Glad I quit smoking, but I miss the eff out of it. I don't miss drinking, however.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Song: "Harry Rag" by "Kinks, The" certainly avory on dat.
	11:24am Pedro in Arlington: When you're done remixing Born in the USA, please do all post-Arista Kinks albums. Thanks Mike.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:23 just some rope.
	11:24am johnk77: interesting about versions https://www.kbdrecords.com/2010/07/18/the-jags-back-of-my-hand-7/
	11:26am Squints: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:24 Whatever else, Born In The USA is a gorgeous sounding record. At least the clangy stuff is.
	11:26am rx scabin: If you want friends, get a pickup truck. One is required to own a pickup truck and one piece of safety yellow clothing where I live, or so it seems.
	11:26am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Since smoking is banned inside buildings, while walking from the subway to the office everyday there would be smokers on the sidewalk in front of the buildings, blowing smoke in my face. I don’t miss that at all
	11:27am clarke: 7/10
	11:27am jmd: Nailed the landing.
	11:27am johnk77: warren zanes new book about making of nebraska getting good reviews i have not <yet> read
	11:27am Bob: Farmers market is killing it already. I got some early strawberries, mushroom, spring onions, basil and some beautiful garlic scapes.
	11:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:23 Dunno -- I guess I must have.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:28 there are two docs on Richard Thompson that might incur some Handy interest (on youtube): A Solitary Man and The Winding Road
	11:28am prof.fuzz: yo handy!
	11:29am Handy Haversack: Thanks, clarke. Hey, prof.
	11:29am Michael Shelley: will do!
	11:29am Bob: The Peter Case doc is cheap on Prime and really good. Uplifting really. Such a good guy.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:29 both are great and cover different eras
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:29 will check dat!! thnx
	11:31am johnk77: peter case on my watch list i lived & worked socal early 1980s
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Song: "Say It Like You Mean It" by "Shoes" awesome!!
	11:31am Toothgrinder Tom: The smoke gets in your hair.
	11:32am Bob: Smoking really does make you look cool though. They lied to us.
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When I was homeless for a while in SoCal I would light one Camel filterless with another ...until my little lungs said No More. Somehow - quitting was no big deal @ all. But - don't come between me & the Caffeines...
	11:33am clarke: when they banned smoking nationwide, new orleans paid NO attention to that news. it took YEARS for them to obey. therefore, i would go on the road and not get covered, for once - then return to the smoke.
	11:33am Mister Dobalina: Takin' it to the limit, go Eagles.
	11:33am Hughie Considine: Fpr 6 mill they should play the liner notes too.
	11:33am Glistener MW: You know who WASN’T happy about NYC banning smoking? Joe Jackson. Your story just reminded me of the angry standalone-single about the smoking ban that he released at the time (“In 20-0-4”)
	11:33am Squints: $6 million for just the one song would be hilarious. That had better one long solo.
	11:34am Hughie Considine: ↳ Glistener MW @11:33 But then again, the man behind "Everything Gives You Cancer" was not pleased with much in this world.
	11:34am johnk77: industrial gigs they were called late 70s & early 80s easier to keep secret back then huey lewis a pioneer? rich bay area early mega-corps?
	11:35am clarke: RIP Jack!! did not know this.
	11:35am Bob: Oh man. I didn't realize Jack Lee died. He's interviewed in the Peter Case doc. Looked like a recent interview. He didn't seem in great shape.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:34 but it DID have numbers in the title!
	11:36am Squints: Haven't seen any details, but apparently Justine Couvault (Justine & The Unclean, among others) passed away a few days ago. Far too young.
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:35 yeah, was gonna ask about that.
	11:37am clarke: my eyes don't see so good.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @11:36 Oh, that's terrible news, Squints. Sorry to hear it.
	11:37am Mister Dobalina: I had a autographed Frank Rizzo cartoon photo & for the life of me can't find it. Errrr!
	11:38am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:33 Seconded WRT caffeine. Wish I could shake it. Maybe after I retire. Like THAT's even gonna happen.
	11:38am myron feld: A person I'm close with did travel for bands for many years. She informs me that when they get those big private party gigs (and paydays), the band pays all the expenses out of it (crew, transportation, lodging, etc), so the Eagles didn't get to keep the entire $6mm. Just most of it.
	11:39am clarke: the poor fucking eagles!!
	11:40am Bob: Are they paying Vince Gill an equal share? I wonder.
	11:40am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:39 Hurts, right?
	11:40am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:35 Always a mitigating factor!
	11:40am Glistener MW: Ha! - and Joe did get out, of the bar and the country. If I recall interviews with him at the time, the NYC smoking ban was a final straw towards his decision to move back to the UK
	11:41am johnk77: sidemen get less than part-owners
	11:41am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:39 PF63 will play your corporate rich asshole house party for half of what the eagles charge... ask a prof for details.
	11:42am ChrisB.: I quit smoking 9 months ago after decades. It was hard but I’m happy at the outcome.
	11:43am Hughie Considine: In retrospect, Joe Jackson might have been the truly most bitter of the Angry Young Men of 1979. Costello and Graham Parker seem much more chill than Joe at this point.
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ ChrisB. @11:42 Good job!
	11:43am Glistener MW: Congrats, Chris!!!
	11:43am Glistener MW: Agreed, Hughie!
	11:44am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Rizzo! Philly has a legacy of corrupt mayors. Now it’s NYC
	11:44am johnk77: joe jackson lived on king st. nyc for a while around the 1990s? he was a tall guy who loved smoking ciggies hanging out in bars & clubs seeing cool live bands etc.
	11:44am Montmaster J: joejackson.com... Love Joe. Here he is on the vodka martini
	11:44am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Corner Tap" by "Joe Rian And The A.M. Drinkers" I was a letter carrier for a brief time in my youth. The veteran mailpersons would finish their routes by 10:30-11:00 and immediately descend upon the tavern til it was clock-out time (2:00).
	11:44am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:41 nope i want the eagles
	11:45am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:44 you get what you pay for...
	11:45am Hughie Considine: I'm told you can get Bernie Leadon at a far more reasonable price point.
	11:45am Bob: Bernie was my Eagle
	11:45am johnk77: glenn felder does industrials
	11:45am UncleHeavy: ↳ Song: "(We Ain't Here Looking For) No Trouble" by "Jimmy... Is this a New Orleans song?? I get a strong whiff of Toussaint's production style here...
	11:45am clarke: i want felder!!
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 Mr Felder might actually pay you.
	11:46am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:45 hahaha
	11:46am Bob: I read Felder's autobiography for some reason. He even makes himself sound like an asshole.
	11:46am clarke: how about Felder, Leadon & Meisner for ten grand.
	11:46am G: Breaux Bridge
	11:47am johnk77: my friend merwin told me bernie was by far the coolest eagle that was 1970s
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:46 Sold!
	11:47am clarke: what G said - there's an R in there (and a good joke to go widdat)
	11:47am Hubig Pie: Try the veal. It's the best in the city
	11:47am G: If you're getting married, it could be Beau Bridge :-)
	11:48am Hughie Considine: ↳ johnk77 @11:47 and he apparently made his departure official by pouring a beer (Coors probably) over Glen Frey's talented head.
	11:48am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Hilarious you left the “you forgot your jacket too” note in the loaner, Michael! Good one
	11:48am Andres: Honeymoon Suite. CanCon. ;)
	11:48am SecretSquirrel: Breaux Bridge! Best crawfish in the world
	11:48am myron feld: We had a great meal at Cafe des Amis is Breaux Bridge. I think it's gone.
	11:49am Hubig Pie: Nietzche boys on the battlefront
	11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: Randy Meisner, from Scottsbluff, NE. An awful, awful little town.
	11:49am clarke: the girls from carencro - i have sampled.
	11:50am johnk77: meisner was a conflicted guy did not enjoy being with henley, frey, etc. late 1970s generally sang the high harmonies
	11:50am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:49 As a midwesterner myself, even I consider that a flyover state
	11:50am G: ↳ myron feld @11:48 i think it shut during Rona? Maybe reopened now? Maybe same ownership or new, not sure?
	11:50am clarke: ↳ johnk77 @11:50 well, Felder HATES henley and frey
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joe Walsh gets a Pardon ?
	11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:50 Lincoln and Omaha are fine. Omaha is actually pretty hip. Lincoln ebbs and flows but always has a great music scene.
	11:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" Maybe my fave EC album.
	11:52am Folksnake: ↳ myron feld @11:44 And that's when the USPS was at its best!
	11:52am Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:51 perfect lp
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:51 yeah felder loves joe
	11:52am G: ↳ Bob @11:50 Nebraska has been running tourism ads on sports shows. They make fun of there being no tourist destinations there.
	11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" Agree. Took awhile to fully embrace. More aggressive and pile-driving than Pump It Up ... this one's a mighty beast.
	11:52am johnk77: i wish meisner and walsh had been together felder loves golf
	11:52am myron feld: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:49 Maybe, but the sign at Scotty's drive-in was pretty cool when we were there. I hope it still is.
	11:53am Bob: This is EC's best ever record and I will accept no dissent
	11:53am prof.fuzz: ↳ G @11:52 Nebraska: Gateway to Colorado
	11:53am DJ Johnny Cool: Just saw EC and Nick Lowe last night. Wow, what a show!
	11:53am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ G @11:52 There are an awful lot of idiots making expensive decisions in this state.
	11:53am egould: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" I saw Elvis and Nick Lowe last night. Good show. Lots of wine.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" i love this tune, but not fond of what naive plays in the verses.
	11:53am Jeff formerly from Rahway: I remember buying this EC record at Sound-A-Rama Records in Rahway when it was released.
	11:53am SecretSquirrel: @handy Top 5 Elvis Costello for sure. Extra points for the liner notes in Esperanto
	11:54am listener phat in Lincoln: Southwest Nebraska is actually one of the most beautiful secrets in the US, if you love startling vistas. It's gorgeous.
	11:54am Glistener MW: !!! another EC track that took years to grow on me after its release. I seem to recall there was a different mix on some versions of the LP that removed the horse clops after the line “a horse that knows arithmetic”. A mistake, I say. I want horse-math in as many songs as possible.
	11:54am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" I like the song, don’t love it. Was he doing his broadway series at this time? I went 2or3x Was joe Jackson called “the Elvis Costello for the tall set”? Uh, joe is tall (kinda)
	11:54am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:54 is it hilly or flat??
	11:54am DJ Johnny Cool: ↳ egould @11:53 Lots of wine. Too many drunk boomers.
	11:54am Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:51 And King of America came out a few months before or after and it must have felt like the mid 60s again with such productivity.
	11:54am Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Song: "Uncomplicated" by "Elvis Costello" And you think "Nightshift" is overwrought.
	11:55am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:54 That's a good tip. I haven't actually seen much other than the drive to CO
	11:55am Squints: ↳ Song: "Please Don't Cry" by "Eyes, The" This is a place where there is time to play b-sides.
	11:55am clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @11:54 going to have to archive your show, today, buddy! lsu in super-regionals.
	11:56am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:54 Nebraska isn't generally all that flat, certainly not like KS or OK. But SW Nebraska is full of all sorts of valleys and hills. It's like something out of a beautifully shot western, only real.
	11:56am egould: ↳ DJ Johnny Cool @11:54 Some drunk Gen Xers too.
	11:57am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:55 I always tell people to get off I-80 in Nebraska. Just don't necessarily talk to anyone. Lol.
	11:58am johnk77: cabelas has a campground
	11:58am Andres: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:57 Locals not friendly?
	11:59am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:56 interest level peaked. hmm... college world series is next week....nah.
	11:59am DJ Johnny Cool: Garrett T Capps coming to Seattle next month. Woo hoo!
	11:59am Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ clarke @11:55 It will be there for you.
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @11:59 with the Friends theme??
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @11:59 then again, if we happen to suck today... maybe i make the show.
	12:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Andres @11:58 It depends. Probably nicer than people in, say, Colorado, but small town Nebraska is, well, very MAGA. There are nice enough people, but be wary. I hate to say that. In Lincoln and Omaha, they're just like any typical metro area in the US. Mostly nice, likely kind of boring, possibly very interesting.
	12:01pm Bob Barth: Michael you are clearing my head with this fantastic bops. I'll have to do something about that...
	12:01pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ johnk77 @11:58 Cabela's left Nebraska
	12:02pm clarke: extreme stereo - where's DRR>??
	12:02pm Andres: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:00 I’m good with boring. :)
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♊︎Gemini, Year of Metal 🐕Dog Howlin' Wolf (born Chester Arthur Burnett) June 10, 1910 – January 10, 1976
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:03 this man knew something about ROPE!!!
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Andres @12:02 I keep myself amused. But boy, boring people spend money on tedious buildings that I have to look at.
	12:04pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Twirl" by "Little Luther" Pre-clicked
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:59 Let me know if not nah!
	12:05pm clarke: we gotta get thru kentucky first. (i don't think i will geaux, though, anyway).
	12:05pm egould: ↳ Song: "She's A Sensation" by "Ramones" The good stuff!
	12:06pm Bob: This album doesn't get enough love in their catalog. My gateway to the Ramones
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:06 you don't have Underground Garage, i take it.
	12:07pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:06 This whole record, top to bottom, front to back, is Numbah One.
	12:07pm clarke: Squints has done the math.
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Boston" by "Byrds, The" oh jes!!!
	12:09pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:07 Yup. It's Science. You wunna wanna argue with Science, would ya?
	12:09pm Bob: ↳ Squints @12:07 I totally agree. Wasn't there supposed to be an improved mix of it coming out? Maybe it did
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Boston" by "Byrds, The" Early Flyte BYrdS ...one senses JFK's living presence still ...don't ask me to explain that ...well, they soared out of the New Frontier...
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:09 just as long as you haven't done the meth.
	12:10pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:10 No rope was moved.
	12:11pm clarke: spritzers!!!
	12:12pm Squints: Wretched, spiteful, straight razor-totin' woman.
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Squints @12:07 Produced - Graham Gouldman ! : en.wikipedia.org...
	12:12pm clarke: poke is more tart than collards
	12:12pm johnk77: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:01 in sidney?
	12:13pm Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:12 Yep. Had the vinyl. Step up over Phil. Much as I love the songs on the record before.
	12:13pm HJS: You don’t make friends with salad
	12:14pm Joe Mulligan 🦀: Never had poke salad but it looks very good for you! https://www.southernliving.com/what-is-poke-salad-6824774
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ johnk77 @12:12 Yep: dailyyonder.com...
	12:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:12 ...just like how that scans...
	12:15pm Hubig Pie: Poke salat- but everyone already knows that
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Fading Day" by "Chandeliers, The" TRIGGERED!!!!!!
	12:15pm Squints: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:15 Well, wait for him to play it, anyway. Unless my feed is lagging.
	12:16pm clarke: he shoots... he scores!!!
	12:16pm johnk77: amazing i must have gone just before it closed
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Squints @12:15 Just the thought of it though!
	12:17pm Bob: The Pollk Salad Annie 45 by Tony Joe White might be the best sounding 7" ever pressed. I don't know what it is exactly. They just knew how to do it. It's amazing. Try it sometime on an old Califone or Newcomb player.
	12:17pm Squints: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 I'm sure it will geet a harrumph out of me.
	12:17pm Andres: Bass solo sensitivities?
	12:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ johnk77 @12:16 I believe there's still a store there, but the headquarters closed.
	12:19pm johnk77: i was at campground next door retirees are moving to sidney
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...more than four Bass notes & it's Jazz...
	12:20pm clarke: phat - what was Cabela's - dept store?
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: We hit 24 years together this past Monday. We don't even usually remember when we actually got married. It was for health insurance. It's definitely not the anniversary we celebrate.
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:20 Outdoors store. Merged with Bass Pro Shops not too long ago.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:20 well congrats anyway!!

	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: I'm hoping I don't doze off for the Anderson Council. But I might. I've had a long week.
	12:30pm clarke: you and FuZZZZZZZ
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Smithereens
	12:31pm Joe Mulligan 🦀: Cabelas stores and bass pro shops are quite the example of redneck megastores.. huge taxidermy displays, fishing tanks, hunting/fishing gear… worth pulling off the highway just to see the rural spectacle.
	12:32pm clarke: cool widdat! do they sell Rickenbackers??
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thuh HOOOTZ - go NickyHopkins !
	12:33pm Squints: Depends. Does Rickenbacker make pro basses?

	12:35pm Listener Baby: PS. Peter Townsend is pretty good.
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "A Legal Matter" by "Who, The" Roger would not sing it reportedly too close to the bone for his situation just then.
