	12:47pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi everyone! Depening on the whims of Overlords of Destiny I'm either going to stream Miss Mei's show or do a fill-in show on the fly, in which case I'll provide you with a link to the proper playlist-page.
	12:50pm Jan Turkenburg: "Depening on the whims of Overlords of Destiny" => "Depending on the whims of the Overlords of Destiny" That's what you get when you're trying to be funny in a hurry...
	1:03pm Mr Fab: Ready for whatever!
	1:03pm Jan Turkenburg: It's Miss Mei's show!
	1:05pm Jan Turkenburg: I'm not sure this was Jimmy Mitchel
	1:06pm Miss Mei: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @1:05 This is Alice Armand
	1:06pm Miss Mei: A guest vocalist is featured on the first track, Fly The Flag For Freedom
	1:07pm Mr Fab: Miss Mei, you're here!
	1:07pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:07 Only for a little, I have to leave shortly sadly
	👻 1:07pm WR: The Overlords of Destiny have spoken
	1:08pm Jan Turkenburg: Yes, when you publish a list in advance the player shows the title of the last track. Therefore I usualy finish the list with a generic entry in a situation like this.
	1:09pm Jan Turkenburg: Hello WR, Hi Mr Fab!
	1:09pm Miss Mei: This is former model and silent film actress Erica Newman, AKA Alice Armand.
	1:10pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Erica Sings [full LP]" by "Alice Armand" from the waxidermy blog: According to the liner notes “after 8 years of living in the wilderness of her Adirondack farm” the 1940’s movie starlet was spontaneously inspired to write and record music “as the result of some happening”. Bewildering, right? Well, the sounds housed within the ancient home-pasted jacket are equally puzzling. Aside from the patriotic theme (with unexplained male vocal) that opens the lp, and an esoteric keyboard instrumental, it’s a showcase of “Erica’s” rather inept vocals and Hawaiian guitar playing. Overall it’s a unique and intimate trip with a strange, sometimes creepy vibe, and a few truly inspired moments. The most logical conclusion I’ve come up with is that this was intended as some sort of songwriting demo.
	1:13pm Jan Turkenburg: "unexplained male vocal" right, clearly NOT Jimmy Mitchell :-)
	1:13pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:10 Several of the songs she wrote ended up appearing on a very old Song Poem label Stylecraft.
	1:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @1:13 sung by other people?
	1:14pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:14 Yep!
	1:15pm Miss Mei: She also released a still unsurfaced single called "Lullaby" which is on Discogs.
	1:17pm Miss Mei: Different copies of this album have some different liner notes, it seems. One came with a page about the Fly The Flag song. www.discogs.com...
	1:17pm Mr Fab: Ah ha! Our own Darryl of World's Worst Records reveals that her brother is the mystery male singer: worldsworstrecords.blogspot.com...
	1:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @1:17 i see she lists some christmas songs on that flag sheet. Any recordings of those about?
	1:21pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:19 On Youtube, not sung by her. www.youtube.com...
	1:26pm Mr Fab: Do you have a physical copy of this album, Miss Mei? It's so rare, there are no copies sold on Discogs
	1:28pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:26 I WISH! Someone luckily uploaded the entire album to YouTube some time late last year.
	👻 1:45pm WR: ↳ Song: "Erica Sings [full LP]" by "Alice Armand" I'm now a total fan of Alice / Erica Armand / Newman
	👻 1:53pm WR: ↳ Song: "Untitled Cassette [Side B]" by "Ed Stilley" and also of Steward Edward L Stilley.
	2:08pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Untitled Cassette [Side B]" by "Ed Stilley" all this reminds me how there's no "country" music anymore in the modern country music world. Just a lot of what I call Republican rock.
	2:09pm Otis: Hi Folks! Work is done, now time to play.
	2:10pm Otis: ↳ Mr Fab @2:08 Do search out Wheeler Walker, Jr.
	2:12pm Mr Fab: ↳ Otis @2:10 yeah, I've heard you play him! That guy looks hysterical, a must to investigate further.
	2:14pm Otis: ↳ Mr Fab @2:12 Pure comedy sounding serious. Sondy showed me his stuff first. We think of him as the Blowfly of Country. Ha!
	2:15pm Otis: ↳ Song: "Jimmy Mitchell [full LP]" by "Jimmy Mitchell" This Jimmy LP is awesome, new to the ears!
	2:17pm Mr Fab: ↳ Otis @2:15 I think we might still be on Ed Stilley? Miss Mei had to post everything, and then leave. She handed the keys over to Jan.
	2:21pm Otis: ↳ Mr Fab @2:17 Ahhhhh, I was wondering if this was early Jimmy Mitchell acoustic without keyboard.
	2:22pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Otis, I'm not around all the time, but I do think this is still Ed Stilley.
	2:27pm Otis: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @2:22 Totally, now I see, playlist posted in advance. That's great, Jimmy to look forward to. Thanks for streaming Jan.
	👻 2:31pm WR: ↳ Song: "Jimmy Mitchell [full LP]" by "Jimmy Mitchell" Jimmy Mitchell gotta be him now. And funny how these three do go together but Alice I enjoyed every little bit.
	2:33pm Otis: ↳ WR @2:31 Missed Alice, will listen back in the archives. Ed and Jimmy really do pair up nice.
	2:57pm Jan Turkenburg: oops sorry...
	2:58pm Otis: Thanks Mei for the songs and Jan for streaming. Cheers!
	2:58pm Ed F. Sleestak Jr.: Wonderful show!
	2:59pm Mr Fab: What a show! amazing stuff, much thankyous Mei n Jan.
	👻 3:01pm WR: Thank you! Miss Mei! And Jan!
