	11:13am clarke: i'm not scraping your fucking bagel, bro!!
	11:13am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Comes Along A Love" by "Kay Starr" Boy, Kay Starr could sing.
	11:14am Baby: These boys are swinging
	11:14am Handy Haversack: Morning, Jack.
	11:14am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Crocodile Tears" by "Mumps, The" Spot. Hit.
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Comes Along A Love" by "Kay Starr" Really haven't associated her name with that Dinah Washington timbre but with big lungs like that. Interesting.
	11:14am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:13 Hi Christina!
	11:15am myron feld: The "Mike" Shelley Show? This guy who did the promo got a little too familiar with you, Michael.

	11:16am Handy Haversack: Hey, the Jalopy -- cool!
	11:17am clarke: RIP Denny - we've already said... good bye...
	11:18am listener phat in Lincoln: "Go Now" is one of my single favorite singles of all time.
	11:18am myron feld: ↳ Baby @11:16 So it seems, Baby. And thanks very much!
	11:18am clarke: denny's solo album (japan release) is really great!
	11:18am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" This is great.
	11:19am paul: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:18 Same here. Always thought the MB did it first.
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: Wait, he wrote this? I did not know this.
	11:20am greg g: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" First time hearing this gem. RIP Denny Laine
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ paul @11:19 Me too, for a long time. Only Moody Blues vinyl I have.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:20 he did - colin blunstone really does a killer version too.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" ...in a universe with Nilsson & Jackie Lomax...
	11:21am drr: ↳ paul @11:19 I've only heard the Colin Blunstone version (where the final note is even more surprising).
	11:21am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:20 That's the version I know.
	11:21am Barefoot Jimmy G: Great Denny song, MS!
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Song: "Wrong To Me" by "John Fred And His Playboy Band" first band i ever "saw"
	11:22am Michael Shelley: ↳ myron feld @11:15 Happens with big stars
	11:22am Barefoot Jimmy G: Rough week for musicians
	11:22am drr: ↳ drr @11:21 Oh, y'all are talking about "Go Now". I meant "Say You Don't Mind". No coffee yet.
	11:23am drr: ↳ clarke @11:21 Didn't John Fred sport some pretty clarke-like specs?
	11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Wrong To Me" by "John Fred And His Playboy Band" Very weird tempo issues going on here.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ drr @11:23 one of the other guys in the band did
	11:25am Christina Ginger: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:14 Jack, are you going to the 3rd installment of Hanukkah tonite?
	11:26am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Foxy Dan" by "Jeff Daniels" This goddamn cooks.
	11:26am Baby: Do NOT sell it, Baby. You’ll be broadcasting from Rikers Island.
	11:26am clarke: my eyes is goin' all screwy, here.
	11:28am paul: ↳ Song: "Bad, Bad Whiskey" by "Merced Blue Notes, The" What year?
	11:28am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Bad, Bad Whiskey" by "Merced Blue Notes, The" This also cooks.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Lemon Twigs, The" Baby-licious!!
	11:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ Baby @11:26 Let's hope not. Close Rikers! www.thecity.nyc...
	11:29am Scott from Denver: Hello from snowy Denver.
	11:29am drr: ↳ clarke @11:26 Got a guy coming to look at Goldie. He sounds like the goodest, oldest, good ole boy on the planet. Heard a good bit of his file story already.
	11:30am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Lemon Twigs, The" Morning all! This is the Twigs song that most often creeps into my head when I awaken in the middle of the night. They almost out-Todd Todd.
	11:30am drr: Hey, the great un-albumed Lemon Twigs cut!
	11:30am clarke: ↳ drr @11:29 like, lookin' to fix or lookin' to BUY?? say it ain't so if the latter!
	11:30am Baby: A highlight last night. All you East Coasters, if you’ve not seen them. Go!
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:30 there 'e is!! my eyes don't see so good.
	11:31am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:31 And my shoes fell off!
	11:31am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:30 Have you heard their new song "Peppermint Roses" yet? A couple live versions on YT. I think it's their most Fab Four-ish one yet.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 oh my goodness!
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: Hey, question for the songwriters here: do you start with a chord progression, a melody, or a lyric?
	11:32am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:32 yes!
	11:32am paul: ↳ paul @11:28 1966, Paul.
	11:32am drr: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:32 I start with being kinda mad about something.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Lemon Twigs, The" Would've signed off on that being Todd Rundgren.
	11:33am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:32 I figured I'd get that answer...
	11:33am kitsky: Usually refer to that area as the central coast
	11:33am Baby: Saw them in a little hovel of a town, we call Santa Barbara.
	11:33am Scott from Denver: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:32 Agree.
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: We need more orangutans in movies these days.
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @11:32 HaHa. Nice.
	11:34am Ciggy: ↳ clarke @11:26 Never a bad movie if Ruth Gordon is in it
	11:34am paul: And Sondra Locke
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @11:32 Maybe I'll try that.
	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:34 ...as opposed to the Oval Office ...& that slanders our dear orangutans...
	11:35am Hughie Considine: Manis, Clint's simian co-star, gave a more subtle, nuanced performance in Every Which Way You Can, having studied Stanislavski in the interim.
	11:35am Scott from Denver: My favorite 70's movie was Hooper with Burt Reynolds.
	11:35am listener phat in Lincoln: Although I'm angry a lot these days.
	11:35am Frank In Queens: dry oatmeal
	11:35am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:33 honestly, for me the title informs me everything. but, i don't know many who say that.
	11:35am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:35 You start with a title? I've never done that.
	11:36am Rick A: Hello Michael and All, Ray Charles and Clint Eastwood duet on a not very good song, "Beers to You", from Any Which Way You Can.
	11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Rick A @11:36 That is very of its time.
	11:37am Hughie Considine: The tour preserves the marmalade
	11:37am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:35 sorta. will send u email.
	11:37am Baby: Wow. Sounds so Hollies-Like.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:35 the title is kind of a "place-holder" in my feeble mind.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: ↳ Baby @11:37 Bit of Easybeats as well, but that makes sense considering the production team.
	11:38am drr: ↳ Baby @11:37 has a Neal Hefti vibe I can't really explain.
	11:38am Rick A: ↳ paul @11:34 Clint Eastwood really screwed over Sondra Locke. What he did to her is really horribly misogynistic. Karina Longworth's episode on Locke and Theresa Russell is really insightful.
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: I'm looking for a new method and really I probably just need to get over it and sit down with a crappy acoustic (I own two).
	11:38am Bob: I loved both those Clint movies as a kid and I still do. I wish I'd made it to the Palomino club.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ drr @11:38 think you missed a reply above?
	11:39am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Station On Third Avenue" by "Marmalade, The" Marmalade's "Reflections of My Life" is an absolute staple of Glen Jones's show. Very different sound on that one, which actually got some play stateside.
	11:39am G: ↳ Song: "Station On Third Avenue" by "Marmalade, The" They keep stealing that Batman TV show theme riff...
	11:39am Christina Ginger: Hong Kong cafe was a short room, and the ceiling abouve the stage was lower than the rest of the room! When you look at photos, the ceiling was not very far above the performer’s heads. I remember asking a friend if the perspective in photos was right, and he said yes.
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:38 I should retire and start a club called the Palomino Club
	11:39am Andrew: That string/horn line is indeed Batman-based.
	11:40am Rick A: ↳ G @11:39 The resemblance is startling.
	11:40am Scott from Denver: Clint probably needs his own episode on the "Behind the Bastards" podcast.
	11:40am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:39 We need it!
	11:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Happier Times" by "6 String Drag" That post done got hit so hard it became a lintel.
	11:40am Hughie Considine: The Fonz was the opposite of a nerd. He was a dren.
	11:40am paul: ↳ Rick A @11:38 Never heard that story. But I know (from an actress friend) Clint isn't the nicest guy in the world. I always loved Sondra.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:40 heyyyyy!!
	11:41am Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:38 Oh, I misheard. Vanda and Young WROTE it. I need more tea...
	11:41am Baby: Myron. Another early key change, alert.
	11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:40 I need more stories to tell from behind the bar. Gimme 5-10 years.
	11:41am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Happier Times" by "6 String Drag" Wow, I don't think I've heard 6 String Drag on FMU ever. Kenny Roby's very talented and NC stalwart.
	11:42am clarke: HEYYYY!!
	11:42am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "If You Want Me To Stay" by "Sly And The Family St... Best song
	11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "If You Want Me To Stay" by "Sly And The Family St... Always wished my voice was this low.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:42 i contend that sly was the first to mic the hi-hat
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 Cigarettes and other drugs!
	11:43am Scott from Denver: Was reading up on Sly's current status. Super sad.
	11:43am Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 you MUST be seriously stoned to sing like this
	11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:43 Coo be
	11:44am drr: ↳ clarke @11:39 did I? My assistant is supposed to read those out to me, so I don't do that.
	11:44am Squints: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:43 Don'tsay that it's a dare.
	11:44am Ciggy: ↳ Song: "If You Want Me To Stay" by "Sly And The Family St... Awe no shock
	11:44am P-90: I agree with Keith Richards: one of the greatest records ever
	11:45am clarke: ↳ drr @11:44 are you selling Goldie? or fixing Goldie??
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:44 Arrgh. I mean don't say taht like it's a dare.
	11:45am Hughie Considine: As a college student I was supposed to interview Sly for the school paper after a show at the Chance in Poughkeepsie. Of course he never showed.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 for the show? or the interview? or both?
	11:46am Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 do you go to Vassar?
	11:47am Chris Hiatt: Hello, Michael and all!
	11:47am Scott from Denver: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 I waited for Hunter S Thompson to show up for 2 hours to a speaking gig.
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:46 The interview.
	11:47am drr: ↳ clarke @11:45 Selling, sadly. I don't want to insure two vehicles, or I would keep Goldie around. I was looking for a poor boy who will put up with the problems in order to have a truck to get to work. I think I found one.
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 I did. Class of '84.
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Scott from Denver @11:47 Bet it was worth it though.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ drr @11:47 dang. end of an era!! hope it goes your way!
	11:48am Bob: I'm currently reading the Sly autobiography in one room of the house and the Ozzy one in another room. The Ozzy book is far more fun. He's genuinely hilarious every paragraph.
	11:48am Scott from Denver: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 It was. Good slice of history under my belt.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:48 never the rooms shall meet!
	11:48am Baby: ↳ Song: "Heartbeat" by "Detroit Cobras, The" This is so fresh
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Heartbeat" by "Detroit Cobras, The" Never heard this Buddy by Cobras. Tho I like trying to play it on Gittar now & then. What about Buddy as Strat Gittar Player ? & fan of LesPaul...
	11:49am Bob: ↳ Song: "Heartbeat" by "Detroit Cobras, The" I liked her so much. Spent time with her over the years. Her former boyfriend is still a pal. She was a crazy handful but I really liked her.
	11:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ Bob @11:48 This? en.wikipedia.org...
	11:49am Scott from Denver: ↳ Baby @11:48 Didn't the Cobras get into a tiff with The White Stripes?
	11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ Baby @11:48 They really excelled at being a cover band like few have been able to in this era.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:49 or Nikki Sullivan?
	11:50am Bob: ↳ Scott from Denver @11:49 That was the Von Bondies
	11:50am prof.fuzz: howdy y'all
	11:50am Frank In Queens: Does Rami know who Buckaroo Bonzai is?
	11:50am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZ
	11:51am myron feld: ↳ Song: "That's How It Goes" by "Breakaways, The" So very true! the BIGGEST drums on this record. Possibly the most #1 song ever give.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:49 ...Ah...
	11:51am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEEE
	11:51am Rick A: ↳ Song: "That's How It Goes" by "Breakaways, The" This is a phenomenal song. I have it on a Trouble DJ mix, I think and always light up when it comes on.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:50 i don't really know who BB is. i mean, i know that there was a movie that exist(ed)s
	11:52am Bob: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 That's it. I pulled it out of a free box with not much hope. It's hilarious!
	11:52am Chris Hiatt: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:50 Good Mornin', Fuzz.
	11:53am myron feld: ↳ Song: "That's How It Goes" by "Breakaways, The" I didn't know this song until Rhino's "One Kiss Can Lead To Another" girl groups comp. My life was thereafter changed for the better.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I Just Wanted To See You So Bad (demo)" by "Lucin... Wow, this makes the album version sound restrained.
	11:53am Handy Haversack: ↳ Bob @11:52 Nice, I'll keep an eye out.
	11:53am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:51 One of my faves. A masterpiece of dry wit and humor. The character Buckaroo Banzai is a physicist, neurosurgeon, test pilot, and rock star in the movie, so it Rami and all of his non-musical credits remind me of the character.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:53 yeah, no organ.
	11:54am Rick A: ↳ Song: "That's How It Goes" by "Breakaways, The" Hearing this song reminds me to listen to the various FMU DJ mixes I have, which are many. Around this year's marathon, I had my own marathon and listened to every one I have. Some of them I had not heard in awhile and had forgotten how good they are. Of course, Michael's Superhits of the 70s collection among others of yours are in fairly regular rotation.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:53 on your recommendation....
	11:54am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:54 The vocal is looser and less measured. In a good way
	11:55am prof.fuzz: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:52 mornin' chris!
	11:55am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:53 you hain't steered me wrong, yet!
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Played Gittar all my life - more or less. But almost never with goals or any discipline. Including Songwriting. ...How does one Write Songs ? What is the Magic Thing. ...The answer - probly ? It's just like how you learned Gittar repeating Riffs & Chords & playing along & Improvisng - driving your family insane - until you could. & you just have to start out being bad & annoying - & enjoy it - &/or being ambitious enuff - that you persist thru the phase of sucking @ it...
	11:55am George Kopp: Wow, nice version of Lucinda's tune! Never heard this one before.
	11:56am Baby: Frank. A fact that is not so fun. My older brother was the hairstylist on Buckaroo Bonzai. Now you can die a complete person.
	11:56am Bob: This demo really kinda crushes the final version. Terry Adams just recently told someone I know about the Q actually doing demos for the Car Wheels album. Via Steve Earle I assume. It's not a great story and they kinda got screwed over. Still, I never heard anything about it before.
	11:57am Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Ticket To Ride" by "Wee Willie Walker" Digging this version.
	11:57am egould: They’re missing a chord chamge, right?
	11:57am drr: I saw Detroit Cobras at a small club here in N.O. (maaaayyyyyybe Circle Bar? Or Matador) and it was just amazing, one of the best rock shows I'd ever seen. Their one(?) recorded original, "(Watch Me) Eat A Hot Dog" was based on a weird inside-joke website a N.O. guy did, called watchmeeatahotdog.com. It was just what it sounds like, people eating hot dogs on camera.
	11:58am Christina Ginger: ↳ Baby @11:56 That is a great fun fact to share.
	11:58am Baby: Ha anyone ver heard the Gladys Knight version of Sugar Sugar?
	11:59am Baby: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:58 Aw shucks, CG!
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Ticket To Ride" by "Wee Willie Walker" Soul giants usually crush covers with they vocal power & swing ...occurs to one that 'Ticket To Ride' the original is a lot about the Sound & the Playing... Well & John Lennon Sings a bit.
	11:59am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Now And Then" by "David A. Rodriguez (aka Dreamer... Better than the original!!
	11:59am clarke: ↳ drr @11:57 Circle Bar.
	11:59am myron feld: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:59 Seconded.
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Now And Then" by "David A. Rodriguez (aka Dreamer... This version is kinda the Earwurm. It's only true.
	12:00pm George Kopp: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:59 Absolutely!
	12:01pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Baby @11:56 If I do or learn nothing else today, it would still be a good day after reading that ;)
	12:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon Michael & all!
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:01 so: FUN fact!
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:02 YES!
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "People Think I've Got It Made" by "Rami And The R... NickLowe receptors activated & waiting...
	12:03pm clarke: anyone else hear the ben vaughn in Rami's song-writing??
	12:03pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:03 Definitely
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:02 uhhh, speaking of movies....
	12:06pm Squints: My pop loved this.
	12:06pm Bob: What's the correct email again?
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:06 did your pop have an opinion about Toledo??
	12:06pm P-90: “Escorted by Rex” the VIP treatment
	12:06pm Joe B: greetings Michael and everyone. show sounding great!
	12:07pm clarke: PC!
	12:07pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "My Name Is Jack" by "Manfred Mann" Jack was really popular in song for awhile, what with My Friend Jack Eats Sugarlumps and Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack... or, who knows, maybe it doesn't mean Jack.
	12:07pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:06 He wanted me to keep my mind open.
	12:08pm clarke: you are a son of a gun!!
	12:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bob @12:06 For the 45? michaels at wfmu dot org.

	12:09pm Bob: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:08 Thanks!
	12:09pm Baby: ↳ Joe B @12:06 Greetings Joe!
	12:09pm Tutu: ↳ Song: "My Name Is Jack" by "Manfred Mann" Who'd they rip this song off from
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:04 It's been slow on that front, but we've been going through some Vincent Price AIP films; the most recent of which was The Mask Of The Red Death. Also saw Flatliners (1990), which was decent.
	12:11pm Squints: ↳ Tutu @12:09 Jack. They ripped it off from Jack. No one is the band is named Jack.
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:10 cool! around hallows eve i finally caught the version of Usher that price is in. he's great in everything.
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:09 Well, still moving forward, I guess.
	12:12pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:08 Dang me. He (and I) also loved Roger Miller.
	12:12pm Bob: We watched the new Todd Haynes film May December on Netflix. Strange. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Short and Round" by "Bug Club, The" late-comer - but now on the bus!
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:11 He really is. We watched Usher recently as well.
	12:12pm drr: @listener phat re songwriting: just do like Clifton Chenier and play like you always play, then put a clever name on it. (See also: Skatalites.)
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:11 good news, we'll take it!! hope it continues!!
	12:12pm McGroovey: I can't read the comments cuz I'm driving, so this may have been covered, but Jack, ... Greta Garbo?
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:12 i am with ya'll. and on fence about toledo.
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "My Name Is Jack" by "Manfred Mann" Great CatchyPop ...in a Saturday A.M. Cartoon kinda way...
	12:14pm egould: I don’t think Bug Club is taking all this seriously.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:12 of course, you've checked out some of his film noir work - stunning!
	12:14pm Baby: ↳ Song: "No Puedo" by "Los Brincos" I Can’t.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:14 duderino! i am on the Chime School bus, too!
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:14 yeah, we watched "His Kind Of Woman" recently. That one was great.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 vinnie is practially a "HERO" in that great one!!
	12:17pm clarke: PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!!
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:16 He certainly takes charge at the end
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:17 spoiler alert, ya'll!
	12:17pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Surrender To The Rhythm" by "Brinsley Schwarz" This really moves the rope. It scrapes the bagel.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:17 i don't do in-state work.
	12:19pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:15 New album coming out early 2024.
	12:19pm Bob: There is a brand new multi-disc Brinsleys box that just came out this week. Thinking Back it's called. I ordered it even though I already have most of it. All the records plus a bunch of new outtakes. Cheapish price.

	12:21pm Androu B.: Morning, Michael! (& Howdy, Rev!🐰💣♏) I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here who thought this, but that Bug Club tune sort of reminded me of Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing".

Tomorrow, I cook black bean soup, coleslaw with a lime drssing with pepitas, and buuermilk cornbread. Some other side might sneak in. How are you?

	12:48pm clarke: the use of the word "little" probably prompted that association.
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Drug Cocktail" by "Rami And The Reliables" Little bit like earliest Stones !
	12:51pm Bob: I've been listening to the Reliables records for a few years and I just love how much Scott and Casey let loose with their vocals. There's a bunch of songs where Casey sorta goes into Prince falsetto mode. It's very cool.
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks for the interview, live music, and the #1's! Thoroughly enjoyable on a stormy Saturday in Michigan. Will look into catching Rami in Chicago sometime.

	11:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:07 Waiting tables in grad school, I blew a young woman's mind when I knew how to pronounce it when I carded her for beer. Went to college in Yonkers, so I was well prepped.

	11:14am Baby: These boys are swinging
	11:14am Handy Haversack: Morning, Jack.
	11:14am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Crocodile Tears" by "Mumps, The" Spot. Hit.
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Comes Along A Love" by "Kay Starr" Really haven't associated her name with that Dinah Washington timbre but with big lungs like that. Interesting.
	11:14am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:13 Hi Christina!
	11:15am myron feld: The "Mike" Shelley Show? This guy who did the promo got a little too familiar with you, Michael.

	11:18am clarke: denny's solo album (japan release) is really great!

	11:19am paul: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:18 Same here. Always thought the MB did it first.
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: Wait, he wrote this? I did not know this.
	11:20am greg g: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" First time hearing this gem. RIP Denny Laine
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ paul @11:19 Me too, for a long time. Only Moody Blues vinyl I have.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:20 he did - colin blunstone really does a killer version too.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" ...in a universe with Nilsson & Jackie Lomax...
	11:21am drr: ↳ paul @11:19 I've only heard the Colin Blunstone version (where the final note is even more surprising).
	11:21am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:20 That's the version I know.
	11:21am Barefoot Jimmy G: Great Denny song, MS!
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Song: "Wrong To Me" by "John Fred And His Playboy Band" first band i ever "saw"

	11:22am drr: ↳ drr @11:21 Oh, y'all are talking about "Go Now". I meant "Say You Don't Mind". No coffee yet.
	11:23am drr: ↳ clarke @11:21 Didn't John Fred sport some pretty clarke-like specs?
	11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Wrong To Me" by "John Fred And His Playboy Band" Very weird tempo issues going on here.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ drr @11:23 one of the other guys in the band did
	11:25am Christina Ginger: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:14 Jack, are you going to the 3rd installment of Hanukkah tonite?

	11:26am clarke: my eyes is goin' all screwy, here.
	11:28am paul: ↳ Song: "Bad, Bad Whiskey" by "Merced Blue Notes, The" What year?
	11:28am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Bad, Bad Whiskey" by "Merced Blue Notes, The" This also cooks.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Lemon Twigs, The" Baby-licious!!
	11:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ Baby @11:26 Let's hope not. Close Rikers! www.thecity.nyc...
	11:29am Scott from Denver: Hello from snowy Denver.
	11:29am drr: ↳ clarke @11:26 Got a guy coming to look at Goldie. He sounds like the goodest, oldest, good ole boy on the planet. Heard a good bit of his file story already.
	11:30am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Lemon Twigs, The" Morning all! This is the Twigs song that most often creeps into my head when I awaken in the middle of the night. They almost out-Todd Todd.
	11:30am drr: Hey, the great un-albumed Lemon Twigs cut!
	11:30am clarke: ↳ drr @11:29 like, lookin' to fix or lookin' to BUY?? say it ain't so if the latter!
	11:30am Baby: A highlight last night. All you East Coasters, if you’ve not seen them. Go!
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:30 there 'e is!! my eyes don't see so good.
	11:31am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:31 And my shoes fell off!
	11:31am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:30 Have you heard their new song "Peppermint Roses" yet? A couple live versions on YT. I think it's their most Fab Four-ish one yet.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 oh my goodness!
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: Hey, question for the songwriters here: do you start with a chord progression, a melody, or a lyric?
	11:32am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:32 yes!
	11:32am paul: ↳ paul @11:28 1966, Paul.
	11:32am drr: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:32 I start with being kinda mad about something.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Lemon Twigs, The" Would've signed off on that being Todd Rundgren.
	11:33am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:32 I figured I'd get that answer...
	11:33am kitsky: Usually refer to that area as the central coast
	11:33am Baby: Saw them in a little hovel of a town, we call Santa Barbara.
	11:33am Scott from Denver: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:32 Agree.
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: We need more orangutans in movies these days.
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @11:32 HaHa. Nice.
	11:34am Ciggy: ↳ clarke @11:26 Never a bad movie if Ruth Gordon is in it
	11:34am paul: And Sondra Locke
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @11:32 Maybe I'll try that.
	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:34 ...as opposed to the Oval Office ...& that slanders our dear orangutans...
	11:35am Hughie Considine: Manis, Clint's simian co-star, gave a more subtle, nuanced performance in Every Which Way You Can, having studied Stanislavski in the interim.
	11:35am Scott from Denver: My favorite 70's movie was Hooper with Burt Reynolds.
	11:35am listener phat in Lincoln: Although I'm angry a lot these days.
	11:35am Frank In Queens: dry oatmeal
	11:35am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:33 honestly, for me the title informs me everything. but, i don't know many who say that.
	11:35am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:35 You start with a title? I've never done that.
	11:36am Rick A: Hello Michael and All, Ray Charles and Clint Eastwood duet on a not very good song, "Beers to You", from Any Which Way You Can.
	11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Rick A @11:36 That is very of its time.
	11:37am Hughie Considine: The tour preserves the marmalade
	11:37am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:35 sorta. will send u email.
	11:37am Baby: Wow. Sounds so Hollies-Like.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:35 the title is kind of a "place-holder" in my feeble mind.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: ↳ Baby @11:37 Bit of Easybeats as well, but that makes sense considering the production team.
	11:38am drr: ↳ Baby @11:37 has a Neal Hefti vibe I can't really explain.
	11:38am Rick A: ↳ paul @11:34 Clint Eastwood really screwed over Sondra Locke. What he did to her is really horribly misogynistic. Karina Longworth's episode on Locke and Theresa Russell is really insightful.
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: I'm looking for a new method and really I probably just need to get over it and sit down with a crappy acoustic (I own two).
	11:38am Bob: I loved both those Clint movies as a kid and I still do. I wish I'd made it to the Palomino club.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ drr @11:38 think you missed a reply above?
	11:39am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Station On Third Avenue" by "Marmalade, The" Marmalade's "Reflections of My Life" is an absolute staple of Glen Jones's show. Very different sound on that one, which actually got some play stateside.
	11:39am G: ↳ Song: "Station On Third Avenue" by "Marmalade, The" They keep stealing that Batman TV show theme riff...
	11:39am Christina Ginger: Hong Kong cafe was a short room, and the ceiling abouve the stage was lower than the rest of the room! When you look at photos, the ceiling was not very far above the performer’s heads. I remember asking a friend if the perspective in photos was right, and he said yes.
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:38 I should retire and start a club called the Palomino Club
	11:39am Andrew: That string/horn line is indeed Batman-based.
	11:40am Rick A: ↳ G @11:39 The resemblance is startling.
	11:40am Scott from Denver: Clint probably needs his own episode on the "Behind the Bastards" podcast.
	11:40am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:39 We need it!
	11:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Happier Times" by "6 String Drag" That post done got hit so hard it became a lintel.
	11:40am Hughie Considine: The Fonz was the opposite of a nerd. He was a dren.
	11:40am paul: ↳ Rick A @11:38 Never heard that story. But I know (from an actress friend) Clint isn't the nicest guy in the world. I always loved Sondra.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:40 heyyyyy!!
	11:41am Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:38 Oh, I misheard. Vanda and Young WROTE it. I need more tea...
	11:41am Baby: Myron. Another early key change, alert.
	11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:40 I need more stories to tell from behind the bar. Gimme 5-10 years.
	11:41am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Happier Times" by "6 String Drag" Wow, I don't think I've heard 6 String Drag on FMU ever. Kenny Roby's very talented and NC stalwart.
	11:42am clarke: HEYYYY!!
	11:42am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "If You Want Me To Stay" by "Sly And The Family St... Best song
	11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "If You Want Me To Stay" by "Sly And The Family St... Always wished my voice was this low.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:42 i contend that sly was the first to mic the hi-hat
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 Cigarettes and other drugs!
	11:43am Scott from Denver: Was reading up on Sly's current status. Super sad.
	11:43am Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 you MUST be seriously stoned to sing like this
	11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:43 Coo be
	11:44am drr: ↳ clarke @11:39 did I? My assistant is supposed to read those out to me, so I don't do that.
	11:44am Squints: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:43 Don'tsay that it's a dare.
	11:44am Ciggy: ↳ Song: "If You Want Me To Stay" by "Sly And The Family St... Awe no shock
	11:44am P-90: I agree with Keith Richards: one of the greatest records ever
	11:45am clarke: ↳ drr @11:44 are you selling Goldie? or fixing Goldie??
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:44 Arrgh. I mean don't say taht like it's a dare.
	11:45am Hughie Considine: As a college student I was supposed to interview Sly for the school paper after a show at the Chance in Poughkeepsie. Of course he never showed.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 for the show? or the interview? or both?
	11:46am Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 do you go to Vassar?
	11:47am Chris Hiatt: Hello, Michael and all!
	11:47am Scott from Denver: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 I waited for Hunter S Thompson to show up for 2 hours to a speaking gig.
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:46 The interview.
	11:47am drr: ↳ clarke @11:45 Selling, sadly. I don't want to insure two vehicles, or I would keep Goldie around. I was looking for a poor boy who will put up with the problems in order to have a truck to get to work. I think I found one.
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 I did. Class of '84.
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Scott from Denver @11:47 Bet it was worth it though.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ drr @11:47 dang. end of an era!! hope it goes your way!
	11:48am Bob: I'm currently reading the Sly autobiography in one room of the house and the Ozzy one in another room. The Ozzy book is far more fun. He's genuinely hilarious every paragraph.
	11:48am Scott from Denver: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 It was. Good slice of history under my belt.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:48 never the rooms shall meet!
	11:48am Baby: ↳ Song: "Heartbeat" by "Detroit Cobras, The" This is so fresh
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Heartbeat" by "Detroit Cobras, The" Never heard this Buddy by Cobras. Tho I like trying to play it on Gittar now & then. What about Buddy as Strat Gittar Player ? & fan of LesPaul...
	11:49am Bob: ↳ Song: "Heartbeat" by "Detroit Cobras, The" I liked her so much. Spent time with her over the years. Her former boyfriend is still a pal. She was a crazy handful but I really liked her.
	11:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ Bob @11:48 This? en.wikipedia.org...
	11:49am Scott from Denver: ↳ Baby @11:48 Didn't the Cobras get into a tiff with The White Stripes?
	11:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ Baby @11:48 They really excelled at being a cover band like few have been able to in this era.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:49 or Nikki Sullivan?
	11:50am Bob: ↳ Scott from Denver @11:49 That was the Von Bondies
	11:50am prof.fuzz: howdy y'all
	11:50am Frank In Queens: Does Rami know who Buckaroo Bonzai is?
	11:50am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZ
	11:51am myron feld: ↳ Song: "That's How It Goes" by "Breakaways, The" So very true! the BIGGEST drums on this record. Possibly the most #1 song ever give.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:49 ...Ah...
	11:51am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEEE
	11:51am Rick A: ↳ Song: "That's How It Goes" by "Breakaways, The" This is a phenomenal song. I have it on a Trouble DJ mix, I think and always light up when it comes on.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:50 i don't really know who BB is. i mean, i know that there was a movie that exist(ed)s
	11:52am Bob: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 That's it. I pulled it out of a free box with not much hope. It's hilarious!
	11:52am Chris Hiatt: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:50 Good Mornin', Fuzz.
	11:53am myron feld: ↳ Song: "That's How It Goes" by "Breakaways, The" I didn't know this song until Rhino's "One Kiss Can Lead To Another" girl groups comp. My life was thereafter changed for the better.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I Just Wanted To See You So Bad (demo)" by "Lucin... Wow, this makes the album version sound restrained.
	11:53am Handy Haversack: ↳ Bob @11:52 Nice, I'll keep an eye out.
	11:53am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:51 One of my faves. A masterpiece of dry wit and humor. The character Buckaroo Banzai is a physicist, neurosurgeon, test pilot, and rock star in the movie, so it Rami and all of his non-musical credits remind me of the character.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:53 yeah, no organ.
	11:54am Rick A: ↳ Song: "That's How It Goes" by "Breakaways, The" Hearing this song reminds me to listen to the various FMU DJ mixes I have, which are many. Around this year's marathon, I had my own marathon and listened to every one I have. Some of them I had not heard in awhile and had forgotten how good they are. Of course, Michael's Superhits of the 70s collection among others of yours are in fairly regular rotation.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:53 on your recommendation....
	11:54am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:54 The vocal is looser and less measured. In a good way
	11:55am prof.fuzz: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:52 mornin' chris!
	11:55am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:53 you hain't steered me wrong, yet!
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Played Gittar all my life - more or less. But almost never with goals or any discipline. Including Songwriting. ...How does one Write Songs ? What is the Magic Thing. ...The answer - probly ? It's just like how you learned Gittar repeating Riffs & Chords & playing along & Improvisng - driving your family insane - until you could. & you just have to start out being bad & annoying - & enjoy it - &/or being ambitious enuff - that you persist thru the phase of sucking @ it...
	11:55am George Kopp: Wow, nice version of Lucinda's tune! Never heard this one before.
	11:56am Baby: Frank. A fact that is not so fun. My older brother was the hairstylist on Buckaroo Bonzai. Now you can die a complete person.
	11:56am Bob: This demo really kinda crushes the final version. Terry Adams just recently told someone I know about the Q actually doing demos for the Car Wheels album. Via Steve Earle I assume. It's not a great story and they kinda got screwed over. Still, I never heard anything about it before.
	11:57am Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Ticket To Ride" by "Wee Willie Walker" Digging this version.
	11:57am egould: They’re missing a chord chamge, right?
	11:57am drr: I saw Detroit Cobras at a small club here in N.O. (maaaayyyyyybe Circle Bar? Or Matador) and it was just amazing, one of the best rock shows I'd ever seen. Their one(?) recorded original, "(Watch Me) Eat A Hot Dog" was based on a weird inside-joke website a N.O. guy did, called watchmeeatahotdog.com. It was just what it sounds like, people eating hot dogs on camera.
	11:58am Christina Ginger: ↳ Baby @11:56 That is a great fun fact to share.
	11:58am Baby: Ha anyone ver heard the Gladys Knight version of Sugar Sugar?
	11:59am Baby: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:58 Aw shucks, CG!
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Ticket To Ride" by "Wee Willie Walker" Soul giants usually crush covers with they vocal power & swing ...occurs to one that 'Ticket To Ride' the original is a lot about the Sound & the Playing... Well & John Lennon Sings a bit.
	11:59am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Now And Then" by "David A. Rodriguez (aka Dreamer... Better than the original!!
	11:59am clarke: ↳ drr @11:57 Circle Bar.
	11:59am myron feld: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:59 Seconded.
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Now And Then" by "David A. Rodriguez (aka Dreamer... This version is kinda the Earwurm. It's only true.
	12:00pm George Kopp: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:59 Absolutely!
	12:01pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Baby @11:56 If I do or learn nothing else today, it would still be a good day after reading that ;)
	12:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon Michael & all!
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:01 so: FUN fact!
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:02 YES!
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "People Think I've Got It Made" by "Rami And The R... NickLowe receptors activated & waiting...
	12:03pm clarke: anyone else hear the ben vaughn in Rami's song-writing??
	12:03pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:03 Definitely
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:02 uhhh, speaking of movies....
	12:06pm Squints: My pop loved this.
	12:06pm Bob: What's the correct email again?
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:06 did your pop have an opinion about Toledo??
	12:06pm P-90: “Escorted by Rex” the VIP treatment
	12:06pm Joe B: greetings Michael and everyone. show sounding great!
	12:07pm clarke: PC!
	12:07pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "My Name Is Jack" by "Manfred Mann" Jack was really popular in song for awhile, what with My Friend Jack Eats Sugarlumps and Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack... or, who knows, maybe it doesn't mean Jack.
	12:07pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:06 He wanted me to keep my mind open.
	12:08pm clarke: you are a son of a gun!!
	12:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bob @12:06 For the 45? michaels at wfmu dot org.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:08 howzit goin' HH??
	12:09pm Bob: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:08 Thanks!
	12:09pm Baby: ↳ Joe B @12:06 Greetings Joe!
	12:09pm Tutu: ↳ Song: "My Name Is Jack" by "Manfred Mann" Who'd they rip this song off from
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:04 It's been slow on that front, but we've been going through some Vincent Price AIP films; the most recent of which was The Mask Of The Red Death. Also saw Flatliners (1990), which was decent.
	12:11pm Squints: ↳ Tutu @12:09 Jack. They ripped it off from Jack. No one is the band is named Jack.
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:10 cool! around hallows eve i finally caught the version of Usher that price is in. he's great in everything.
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:09 Well, still moving forward, I guess.
	12:12pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:08 Dang me. He (and I) also loved Roger Miller.
	12:12pm Bob: We watched the new Todd Haynes film May December on Netflix. Strange. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Short and Round" by "Bug Club, The" late-comer - but now on the bus!
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:11 He really is. We watched Usher recently as well.
	12:12pm drr: @listener phat re songwriting: just do like Clifton Chenier and play like you always play, then put a clever name on it. (See also: Skatalites.)
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:11 good news, we'll take it!! hope it continues!!
	12:12pm McGroovey: I can't read the comments cuz I'm driving, so this may have been covered, but Jack, ... Greta Garbo?
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:12 i am with ya'll. and on fence about toledo.
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "My Name Is Jack" by "Manfred Mann" Great CatchyPop ...in a Saturday A.M. Cartoon kinda way...
	12:14pm egould: I don’t think Bug Club is taking all this seriously.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:12 of course, you've checked out some of his film noir work - stunning!
	12:14pm Baby: ↳ Song: "No Puedo" by "Los Brincos" I Can’t.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:14 duderino! i am on the Chime School bus, too!
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:14 yeah, we watched "His Kind Of Woman" recently. That one was great.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 vinnie is practially a "HERO" in that great one!!
	12:17pm clarke: PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!!
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:16 He certainly takes charge at the end
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:17 spoiler alert, ya'll!
	12:17pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Surrender To The Rhythm" by "Brinsley Schwarz" This really moves the rope. It scrapes the bagel.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:17 i don't do in-state work.
	12:19pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:15 New album coming out early 2024.
	12:19pm Bob: There is a brand new multi-disc Brinsleys box that just came out this week. Thinking Back it's called. I ordered it even though I already have most of it. All the records plus a bunch of new outtakes. Cheapish price.
	12:19pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:19 if we make it that far!
	12:19pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @12:17 It cuts the mustard while moving the needle.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:19 rexy - what's on the menu??
	12:21pm Androu B.: Morning, Michael! (& Howdy, Rev!🐰💣♏) I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here who thought this, but that Bug Club tune sort of reminded me of Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing".
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Song: "After All" by "Rami And The Reliables" wow.
	12:22pm clarke: snare!
	12:23pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @12:12 Nice
	12:23pm clarke: MS is laxing-up on the saxing-up!!
	12:24pm rx "rexy" scabin: Bringing home subs (grinders, hoagies, bombers. Whatever you call it, it's a meal.) because we have a full day out of the house. Tomorrow, I cook black bean soup, coleslaw with a lime drssing with pepitas, and buuermilk cornbread. Some other side might sneak in. How are you?
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:24 how did your grilled cauliflower turn out?? oh, i have leftover pulled pork an' slaw!
	12:27pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Maybe" by "Rami And The Reliables" Real Frankie Lymon groove to that.

	12:38pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:29 Lol
	12:38pm Hoboken Jack: Touch of Robert Forster to his voice.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One acoustic, one voice - into the mic & On The Air...
	12:40pm listener phat in Lincoln: Joel Patterson! Funny.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Black Cowboy Hat" by "Rami Gabriel" - woo !
	12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...seeing bellydancers in 10 gallons & boots ...& I don't hate it...
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: On Sitar the Frets loop over the neck...
	12:46pm Bob Barth: Oof... Someone please cue the Sandman.
	12:47pm listener phat in Lincoln: He reminds me of Jonathan Richman as he plays solo.
	12:48pm Nick Bremner: Pop Genius? Maybe
	12:48pm greg g: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:47 Thinking the same thing.
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Real strong acoustic rhythm playing.
	12:48pm clarke: the use of the word "little" probably prompted that association.
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Drug Cocktail" by "Rami And The Reliables" Little bit like earliest Stones !
	12:51pm Bob: I've been listening to the Reliables records for a few years and I just love how much Scott and Casey let loose with their vocals. There's a bunch of songs where Casey sorta goes into Prince falsetto mode. It's very cool.
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks for the interview, live music, and the #1's! Thoroughly enjoyable on a stormy Saturday in Michigan. Will look into catching Rami in Chicago sometime.
	12:56pm clarke: great stuff!!! really scrapes the bagel!! A to B!!!
