	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like Lennon complaining about people always playing 'Yesterday' to him (it being completely Paul's) - & saying - let's face it, I'm not gonna get 'I Am The Walrus' played to me in a restaurant in Spain.

	11:51am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Is It True" by "The Move" Oh, this is in "Anthology 1966-1972". I did listen to that. I found it used for cheap$, and it's full of great stuff.
	11:51am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Different Drum" by "Kenny O'Dell" New to me version of this song I adore.
	11:52am Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Different Drum" by "Kenny O'Dell" Can’t go wrong with a Nesmith write.
	11:52am McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @11:48 Lewsberg Autocorrect hasn't learned about Lewsberg yet. (Ooh. It got it right that time.)

	12:28pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Took me a second to find the reference, but there's a typescript document on early Television in the Richard Hell Papers in which Verlaine says about their early sounds: “I don’t know. It tells the story. Like ‘The Hunch’ by The Robert Charles Quintet or ‘Tornado’ by Dale Hawkins. Those cats could track it down."

	12:34pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:32 Also true: I never heard or read TV namedrop a song that wasn't A+ unless he was explicitly dissing it. I used to have some playlists of songs I first heard because he mentioned them in interviews and those were some great mixes.
	12:35pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:32 There's also a good chance the quote is actually by Hell because he wrote most of their early press stuff himself.

	11:09am tonyb: The Saturday NYTIMES crossword is not for the weak. I’ve never completed one.
	11:11am Hughie Considine: The clue was "New Wave Hot Dogs band" (jk)

	11:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ chresti @11:24 It would be real nice if it would stop raining before I have to go move boats around this afternoon ...
	11:25am Hughie Considine: ↳ evancuts @11:24 yes, good point! Parents Weekend, boy...really makes you feel old.
	11:26am Rich in Washington: HA! I remember that particular Dave Berg strip well!
	11:26am Franco Twinkie: Dave Berg was the master of economy when it came to delivering the sour truth.
	11:26am McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:25 Well, at least they're plastic boats that don't get heavier when they're wet.
	11:26am Micheal: Thanks for being here today, Ira! Yesterday was like Atlantis!

	11:33am Mr. Oxford: Hello Ira! Hello everyone!
	11:34am Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @11:31 Thanks, Bryan! It worked shockingly well! They landed at JFK ten minutes early. Took the AirTrain. They had a wait for the E but were in Long Island City within two hours of landing. Kind of amazing, given the state of the city yesterday.
	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like Lennon complaining about people always playing 'Yesterday' to him (it being completely Paul's) - & saying - let's face it, I'm not gonna get 'I Am The Walrus' played to me in a restaurant in Spain.
	11:35am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @11:34 Glad things had calmed down a little by then. I once was on a flight from Boston to Cincinnati that was in a holding pattern so long waiting to land that we ran out of gas and had to fly back to Boston.

	11:37am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ drr @11:36 I'll be there for it.
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (As if Lennon had never written great Melodies - but he did tend to hover around a few notes & focus on Wurdz more...)
	11:38am chresti: ↳ Song: "Illya Kuryakin" by "Ike Bennet & the Crystalites" I wish all hold music was like this!
	11:38am Mr. Oxford: ↳ chresti @11:38 I concur!
	11:38am Matt Fiveash: ↳ Song: "Illya Kuryakin" by "Ike Bennet & the Crystalites" Singing along at home...
	11:39am P-90: Ilya! Tovarich!
	11:39am adamdoesit: ↳ chresti @11:38 Same! Gotta go buy the dog food (strict vet-prescribed diet of pigs in blankets). See you all later on the archives…
	11:40am Ian: Apparently that’s Richard Thompson’s first session on guitar for the Magic Christians.
	11:40am chresti: ↳ Song: "Illya Kuryakin" by "Ike Bennet & the Crystalites" RIP Illya Hi adamdoesit!
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Ian @11:40 Interesting.

	11:49am Christina Ginger: ↳ McGroovey @11:48 Nice show choices!
	11:51am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Is It True" by "The Move" Oh, this is in "Anthology 1966-1972". I did listen to that. I found it used for cheap$, and it's full of great stuff.
	11:51am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Different Drum" by "Kenny O'Dell" New to me version of this song I adore.
	11:52am Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Different Drum" by "Kenny O'Dell" Can’t go wrong with a Nesmith write.
	11:52am McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @11:48 Lewsberg Autocorrect hasn't learned about Lewsberg yet. (Ooh. It got it right that time.)
	11:53am McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @11:51 But autocorrect screwed that one. "I should listen to that"
	11:53am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ georgia @11:33 Was happy to find out you weren't directing that at me right after I got here, Georgia. I was nervous for a second.
	11:54am Squints: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:52 I'm waiting for the Denis O'Dell version.
	11:55am Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "Get On the Right Track Baby" by "Ray Charles" Never heard this one before. Ray Charles had quite a voice.
	11:56am spodiodi: greetings, Ira and all!
	11:56am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Get On the Right Track Baby" by "Ray Charles" Hey, this would make a weird and surprising Yo La Tengo Hanukkah show cover. I wish I knew someone in that band, or
	11:56am tonyb: Ever try the London Times crossword? Different animal. BillyJam turned me on to it.
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Course 'Come & Get It' (written by Macca ...who is supremely Melodic) was used in the film 'Magic Xian'. But you know that.
	11:58am Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Hot Tamale" by "The Hot Tamales" Mmmmm, tamales…..
	11:58am rx "rexy" scabin: @McGroovey I went to the Penny Arcade every Monday to see New Math one semester. I liked them. I may go.

	12:27pm DonJuanTijuana: Greetings Ira & listeners! Checking in from Memphis while at Gonerfest. Hoping you didn’t need a canoe to get to the station. I’m seeing all my fave DJs here holding a strong FMU presence. Wish you were here!
	12:28pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Took me a second to find the reference, but there's a typescript document on early Television in the Richard Hell Papers in which Verlaine says about their early sounds: “I don’t know. It tells the story. Like ‘The Hunch’ by The Robert Charles Quintet or ‘Tornado’ by Dale Hawkins. Those cats could track it down." Different version of the song, I know, but I think of that whenever I hear "The Hunch."

	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @12:31 ...sounds like a Who show & afterparty...
	12:32pm georgia: Is this 45 the only J walkers output? Assuming its a 45, bot say a box set.. although..

	12:34pm Don Gorden: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @12:31 My broom in one hand dust pan in te other, I stand ready to do battle. Hahah
	12:34pm Ira: Hoping there's a J. Walkers box set, but not feeling optimistic.
	12:34pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Little Brown Eyes" by "Crispian St. Peters" Wow, this is amazing. Almost perfect.
	12:34pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:32 Also true: I never heard or read TV namedrop a song that wasn't A+ unless he was explicitly dissing it. I used to have some playlists of songs I first heard because he mentioned them in interviews and those were some great mixes.
	12:35pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:32 There's also a good chance the quote is actually by Hell because he wrote most of their early press stuff himself.
	12:36pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:32 A relatively tame one I suppose.
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They belong to the _____ Generation.
