WFMU: Michael Shelley: Playlist from January 20, 2024

Listener comments!
	11:45pm Listener Baby: Does Mark Ruffalo like to hike? I think not.
	10:45am Listener Baby: Lottie and I were blasting The Free Design last night, Baby. I see you got a hold of one of them for an interview. Such great news! I think I am cosmically linked to this radio program.
	10:45am Michael Shelley: "The song is about making every minute count and living up to your potential. In that sense I think that people like Mark Ruffalo or people who hike might like the song. Or it could be good while you’re working out." (thelemontwigs.com)
	10:49am Listener Baby: I count myself as a person very much like, Mark Ruffalo. And I love this song. Many things can be true, at the same time.
	10:57am Listener Baby: Let’s not forget my love of hiking.

	11:19am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:11 Thanks for posting this link, Michael Shelley!
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:01 newcastle has a match in a while...?
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:11 Yes, thanks!
	11:21am listener phat in Lincoln: I think I'll go to the Mexican bakery and Mexican grocery store down the street. Maybe my car will start! Lol.
	11:21am Listener Baby: There is no opposite word for “not.” The opposite of “not” is to omit it. For example, the opposite of “She is not here” is “She is here.” Sometimes you also have to omit “do.” For example, the opposite of “Do not walk there” is “Walk there.” Food for thought.
	11:21am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:19 Speaking of, this lyric from Joe Strummer caught my ear the other day. Not sure what it means but it sure sounds good: "And driving coal all-night to Newcastle It's getting to be a repetative strain"
	11:22am listener phat in Lincoln: This Gordian Knot is groovy.
	11:22am clarke: that Gordian Knot took the bass-line directly from Forever Changes!
	11:23am Squints: Who was the Ragin' Cajun? That wasn't Doug Kershaw, was it? Or somebody else?
	11:23am Toothgrinder Tom: The Engagin’ Cajun?
	11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:22 Probably where it got its grooviness!
	11:23am drr: M B uet oth i go ng in & ut.
	11:23am Toothgrinder Tom: The Engagin’ Cajun?
	11:23am Listener Baby: Baby. Playlist. Knot, not there.
	11:24am Vpfavale: what was the song before this one...I don't think the playlist updated..thanks!
	11:24am prof.fuzz: howdy y'all
	11:24am Peter Horvath: Good morning Michael, and good morning to all the people who support the number ones.
	11:24am HyperDose: Great interview with The Gordian Knot's Leland Russell by our own Zoe Lynn on her Perfumed Garden show: www.wfmu.org...
	11:24am drr: ↳ Squints @11:23 A student or ballplayer at University of Louisiana - Lafayette. I think a radio station, as well.
	11:25am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZ
	11:25am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEEE
	11:25am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @11:23 James Carville, too
	11:25am clarke: baby has a thing for rice, this morn.
	11:25am drr: It's a POPEYE'S thing!
	11:25am prof.fuzz: we're making dirty rice for lunch today
	11:25am northguineahills: proffy fuzzrucker!
	11:26am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:15 Howdy, Clarke!
	11:26am clarke: uhhhh.... Dirty Rice has been on the Popeye's menu for decades; however, i think it got discontinued in the north?
	11:26am Frank In Queens: Thank the PSC for that!
	11:26am prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @11:25 north guinea skyscraper!
	11:27am clarke: ↳ drr @11:25 yes! al copeland figured out the way to not waste the gizzards and livers was to make the dirty rice and save $$ - but, dang, it's good!
	11:27am Mr. Jones: OMG a GAS meter segue' eegads!
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Same Old Thing" by "Meters, The" Also sampled by Del the Funky Homosapien for "Same Ol' Thing"!
	11:28am listener phat in Lincoln: I'm glad I'm on the gas budget plan! Otherwise I'd be looking at a $400+ gas bill.
	11:28am evancuts: I'm scared you're gonna follow this Meters song with Classical Gas!
	11:28am northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:26 upstate this weekend!
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:28 HELLO GREGORY!!!
	11:28am Bob: You’re cooking with gas now
	11:29am greg g: Morning Michael , Muchachos, and Muchachas !
	11:29am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:28 Nice
	11:29am prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @11:28 north guinea trees!
	11:29am Mr. Jones: ↳ evancuts @11:28 Ha!
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:21 joe strummer and Frank - newcastle fans.
	11:29am listener phat in Lincoln: I think I need to switch back to medium gauge picks.
	11:29am HyperDose: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:28 Spoken like a true hip-hop head! d^_^b
	11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: Lol
	11:30am northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:29 and it's 10 degrees! (F, -12 C)
	11:30am greg g: Sounded like the Booch there!
	11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Never Made The Grade" by "Peach And Lee" Well damn.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ northguineahills @11:30 yipe!
	11:31am Michael Shelley: ↳ Vpfavale @11:24 Thanks Vinnie - added!
	11:31am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:29 medium = cool.
	11:32am Bob: Isn’t the dirty just cooking the rice in bacon fat? Andre Williams says yes. My doctor says not for me. Clarke says Andre still owes me money. Good luck collecting that!
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:31 It's what Lou Reed used!
	11:32am drr: ↳ clarke @11:27 Church's dirty rice is liver-forward. It might not look good, depending on your sense of aesthetics, but it tastes good. Popeye's dirty rice is okay. I think they might have discontinued it in the South too, though. Or maybe it was just the Popeye's we went to last.
	11:32am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, clarke! @HyperDose: Nothing more satisfying than spotting samples in the wild!
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:32 the gizzards and livers are chopped up to create the 'dirty'.
	11:33am Hughie Considine: What's nice is that the contents of the glass match the album cover. Well played!
	11:33am clarke: ↳ drr @11:32 i LOVE popeye's dirty rice - but, yes, i think it is in decline??
	11:34am Frank In Queens: Hot water
	11:34am paul: Probably a single malt scotch. Maybe an 18 year old McCallan
	11:35am drr: ↳ clarke @11:33 Don't sleep on Church's then!
	11:35am Hughie Considine: Radio people are probably seen as notoriously opinionated.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ drr @11:32 speaking of discontinued Popeye's items: when popeye's first started (literally four blocks from where i presently reside), they had fried gizzard dinner - which my dad LOVED. put worcester sauce all over them. that item didn't last very long, tho.
	11:35am Frank In Queens: Bubbly types, ugh
	11:36am Squints: How can one mispronounce "Shelley?"
	11:36am Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @11:33 I have a great veggie dirty rice recipe in one of my Ottolenghi cookbooks that uses chestnuts in place of weird innards.
	11:36am Bob: I got thrown off jury duty for a drug case for owning a record store. They zeroed in on my likely sympathy for minor drug possession and they were right
	11:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:35 I love "what's-this-here" sauce.
	11:36am Mailman Tom: I got out of jury duty four times!
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:36 shall lay??
	11:36am drr: ↳ clarke @11:35 The gizzard is Nature's Everlasting Gobstopper but I'm happy that happened for your pop.
	11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:36 Ooh
	11:37am evancuts: Followed that thread too. I completetly agree with you. I found her totally annoying and condescending. I hope you had a chance to make it over to Hobby's Deli!
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Hey now, Michael and the Shellefish. Been getting brunch on the table.
	11:38am clarke: ↳ drr @11:36 there's a good joke i have to tell you off-line.
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:37 What's for brunch?
	11:39am Frank In Queens: Hello stereo!
	11:39am andy fuchs: Tony Mottola played a custom made Gibson Crest with Les Paul Low impedance pickups, plugged directly into the mixing console...thus the super clean tone :)
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:37 jalapenos!!!!
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Kites Are Fun" by "Tony Mattola" I had no idea Tony Mattola actually made records.
	11:39am berbo: Juror number four plays nothing but number ones.
	11:39am Handy Haversack: Egg sandwiches with sauteed onion and spinach and veg. sausage and a side of jalapeno hash.
	11:39am Michael Shelley: ↳ evancuts @11:37 I did have a Hobbie's sandwich - it was good, but my recent Katz' was 10x better...
	11:40am clarke: i got out of jury duty, once, by claiming popeye's was having a sale on dirty rice.
	11:40am northguineahills: ↳ Squints @11:36 shee-lay?
	11:40am Marne: Kites ARE fun
	11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:39 On my way
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:39 omg - Katz.. now we talkin'!!
	11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Marne @11:40 I was gonna say that!
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Kites Are Fun" by "Tony Mattola" Real bell-like tone. Kind they like in Jazz. Presume hollow body ? Hint of a harmonic... It's in the picking. Slight tremolo... Octaves like Wes Montgomery one moment...
	11:41am northguineahills: ↳ Mailman Tom @11:36 5/6 for me (but that one time, the most tedious civil matter that after a week got dropped...)
	11:41am Squints: ↳ northguineahills @11:40 I'm pretty sure saying it "shee-lay" would get you thrown off the jury right quick.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:41 which is not a bad thing.
	11:42am Bob: The mashed potatoes with Cajun gravy is the Popeyes star. But I don’t eat that either.
	11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: I still want to do jury duty
	11:42am greg g: Lost the stream here . Anyone else?
	11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ greg g @11:42 Fine here
	11:43am clarke: actually, i once got out of jury duty, for reals, by showing the guy my tour calender of shows booked.
	11:43am Bob: This guy likes Big Al
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:42 EVERYthing at popeye's is excellent!
	11:44am xtrakrispy: Just gettin an eye on that Scotch. It's super light in color, which most likely indicates it's either not too old (which means it's not pricey due to age). So, more likely aged in multiply used barrels. The most likely would be Caol Ila. The 12yr is about $90. Older bottling can go for much more. That's my guess...
	11:44am Christina Ginger: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:36 This article has the same recipe as in the book. I didn’t use the black garlic, and used vegan butter. www.theguardian.com...
	11:44am greg g: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:42 Thanks listener phat. Bummer here in Buffalo. Will try again later
	11:44am Squints: ↳ northguineahills @11:41 MMt, dismissed after having shown up, or just told the night before they don't need you? The latter's happened to me the last four, maybe five, times I've been summoned. But I don't count those. Dismissed once in Pittsburgh after sitting all day and they didn't have a ready case by end of day. Served in Brockton about twenty years ago. Were I retired with time on my hands, it would be an interesting periodic civic exercise.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: An irony - we all want to get dismissed from JuryDuty - but the good lawyers for the right cause are always hoping that sane not hateful people will actually serve. Divided on this ...want to so civic duty & serve Justice ...not @ all confident in the System overall to even tell me the essential truths of a situation.
	11:44am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:43 last time i reported for jury duty, i was dismissed because about 25 of my students (in-person) were out with covid so i was deemed to be in close contact. the judge was nice. she thanked me for my service of the front lines of education and apologized for the shitty way teachers are treated.
	11:44am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:43 Yeah. Popeyes and Baja Fresh are the only chain restaurants I like. Baja is basically gone too
	11:45am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:44 Thanks!
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:44 yeah, but you live in NH. diff thang.
	11:46am andy fuchs: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c7/64/0b/c7640bfd0b33650035d365e3fb513331.jpg
	11:46am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:44 an Apologist.
	11:47am andy fuchs: The famous Tony Motola guitar ;)
	11:47am Squints: ↳ Bob @11:42 I'd wave that right in. I decided long ago that there's no point to living long if I can live well. So far having it both ways. I don't go to excess. Ecept at the pub.
	11:48am Squeaky Dave: Billy Strings, nice!
	11:48am listener phat in Lincoln: Holy cow. I didn't realize Andy Fuchs = Fuchs Amps
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:46 Oh I'm sure ! & to say nothing of the inconvenience & all these things...
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:47 nobody!
	11:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:44 YUM
	11:50am listener phat in Lincoln: All sorts of Hep Stars on this message board.
	11:50am Squints: ↳ Song: "Nobody" by "Jackson 5, The" I've always loved that repeated shout thing any time MJ deploys it.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:50 phuZZZZZ
	11:51am Christina Ginger: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 Handy and Phat, it’s worth a make!
	11:51am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Mekeyershene Salawke" by "Alèmayèhu Eshèté" Dude shreds!!
	11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Mekeyershene Salawke" by "Alèmayèhu Eshèté" I can see the similarities with Elvis.
	11:52am Frank In Queens: 9/10
	11:52am clarke: 9/10
	11:52am Toothgrinder Tom: This Ethiopian jazz is just the thing when you’re hungover.
	11:52am clarke: the judges agree!
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Mekeyershene Salawke" by "Alèmayèhu Eshèté" I love distinctions like "the Ethiopian Elvis." Like, Triumvirat were known as the German ELP, and the singer from Mouth & McNeil was known as the Dutch Joe Cocker.
	11:53am andy fuchs: He may be the Ethiopian Elvis, but he's no El Vez, the Mexican Elvis...
	11:54am Matt in Nebraska: I got called in for jury duty. The plaintiff was the secretary for my boss's boss. I was dismissed. FWIW "Rock n' Roll High School" plays on TCM in 5 minutes.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ andy fuchs @11:53 ...no one plays El Vez :( ...
	11:55am clarke: TCM has been tearin' it up!
	11:55am Mr C: Just FYI, Tommy Mottola was Tony's cousin, not his son.
	11:55am clarke: ↳ Mr C @11:55 the voice of reason!
	11:56am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:53 The last one is weird to me. I get that he's a shouter, but that fella in Mouth And MacNeal wasn't rough-edged enough to be a Joe Cocker. If anything, he sounds like Nashville Skyline Dylan if Zim decided really to belt it out.
	11:56am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Tiny Spark" by "Brendan Benson" Too bad Brendan Benson is a right wing loon (or was last i checked).
	11:57am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:54 GI-ay-ay Blues.
	11:57am johnk77: ↳ Squints @11:23 doug kershaw was billed as the ragin cajun at least for live appearances in the 1970s during his party monster phase
	11:58am prof.fuzz: ↳ johnk77 @11:57 i'm gonna start referring to the ragin cajun speaker in my guitar amp as a "doug kershaw"...
	11:58am myron feld: The last time i was called for jury duty (federal), I didn't make it past the voir dire, but what was cool was whenever either side approached the bench for a sidebar with the judge, a white noise machine was turned on so you couldn't hear what they were saying.
	11:58am andy fuchs: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 Sadly true. El Vez, never got his due...
	11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: One time, I received a letter to serve on a grand jury. Put the letter aside and forgot about the matter until a week after I was supposed to call in. I guess my number didn't come up because they never came after me for neglecting it.
	11:59am Frank In Queens: Wow, Frankenstein song
	12:00pm prof.fuzz: ↳ andy fuchs @11:58 i like to imagine santa (or is it santana?) with a workshop full of El Vez making toys for children...
	12:00pm Squints: ↳ johnk77 @11:57 I saw Doug Kershaw on a PBS special, or maybe it was Austin City Limits, in the mid-1970s with Vassar Clements (I think) and Jean-Luc Ponty.
	12:00pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "Despair" by "Breakaways, The" He's certainly Got That Feeling.
	12:00pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Despair" by "Breakaways, The" Hahahahaha, more like, which song do I like that Ray Davies wrote?
	12:00pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:56 I never really got that either, just found it hilariously specific.
	12:00pm Squints: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:58 "Give me a little more of that Kershaw."
	12:01pm Folksnake: Man, lots of "The Breakaways" out there
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Despair" by "Breakaways, The" Beatlesque chorus, Kinky verses... Beatles might alter Major & Minor same Chord - RayDavies in Minor overall like that. It's not bad @ all...
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: Christina, Frank, you two seeing any of the shows tonight?
	12:01pm clarke: and to think we once knew hugh.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: happy "I feel validated" emoji
	12:02pm northguineahills: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:56 jack person in hoboken!
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:01 Might head to Ore Bar for Suzy and Terre's DJ night
	12:02pm Hoboken Jack: Did somebody say pizza?
	12:02pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:01 Not heading to JC and not hitting the Dream Syndicate either.
	12:02pm clarke: hiya Jack!
	12:02pm HyperDose: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:02 Jamaican beef patties, mon!
	12:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:02 We'll be at TV Eye: Shilpa Ray!
	12:03pm clarke: the northern popeye's have gotten lamed out, really.
	12:04pm northguineahills: i'm making blueberry pancake tacos, pancake becomes tortilla, toppings become filling!
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:02 Nice
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:59 I had the same experience
	12:04pm clarke: read up!! the dirty rice is AWEsome! but, you can't get it up north.
	12:04pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:03 I've been to the Popeye's on Myrtle Avenue in BK many more times than any Popeye's in LA.
	12:04pm GerryB: Go for the red beans Michael. None better in these here parts.
	12:04pm thin slice: Just seeing news that Mary Weiss has died
	12:04pm Barefoot Jimmy G: Popeye's Dirty Rice is ok for fast food.
	12:04pm Listener Baby: WEST Texas? You are closer to LA than WEST Texas.
	12:05pm prof.fuzz: we got a new popeyes a couple of minutes from our house. woot!
	12:05pm Barefoot Jimmy G: You can get it at the one here in Bay Ridge.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:04 they are okay, but you can't some of the same items.
	12:05pm Todd in RVA: Dirty Rice is typically a sausage gravy mixed with white or wild rice. It is VERY good and Popeye's version is pretty darn good.
	12:05pm myron feld: I think Dale was in fact from Louisiana.
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: ↳ drr @12:04 I've never been in a Popeye's. There's one in Greenpoint, though, and I have been stopped on the street and asked directions to it several times.
	12:05pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Listener Baby @12:04 that's what i was thinking!
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:05 you GOTTA try the Truff Chicken Sandwich.. amazing. (i do not work for the company)
	12:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: Popeye's was probably the last fried chicken I ever had.
	12:06pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ clarke @12:03 For real. Everything is dry dry dry, including the dirty rice. I'd try the fish sandwich work around tho', just for kicks.
	12:06pm Pedro in Arlington: Funny enough, rundown, desolate Union Station in the nation's capital just got the first Raising Cane's Chicken in the region. Supposedly good stuff. Even the Starbucks closed in that place, which warmly welcomed the Beatles in February 1964.
	12:06pm Christina Ginger: Popeyes biscuits were so good. The best part of going to see a show in Buffalo was stopping at the rest stop with the Popeyes. I say ‘were’ because I haven’t had them since going vegan in college.
	12:07pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:06 you had me at "i don't work..." i'll try the sammich next time.
	12:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:06 Probably recording an album, come to think of it, as that studio has a Popeye's nearby.
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: Ground beef with cinnamon.
	12:07pm Toothgrinder Tom: I got dismissed from jury duty just for saying essentially, I trusted cops to tell the truth in their testimony, all things being equal. The judge looked at me like I had three heads.
	12:07pm paul: sour cream
	12:07pm David Watts: I get a Popeyes chicken sandwich every time I'm in a city that has one
	12:08pm myron feld: I love five-way.
	12:08pm drr: ↳ David Watts @12:07 I forgot about those; when those came out the drive-in lines were blocking traffic.
	12:09pm Chris Hiatt: I love Cincy chili, all the ways. I'll die on that hill.
	12:09pm p_glow: Cheese Coney and a Three-way pls
	12:09pm SoCar Ken: SKLYLINE!!!
	12:10pm Handy Haversack: ¡Nuevo! Been too long! You ever make any progress trying to get them on the show, MS?
	12:10pm myron feld: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:09 Yeah!!
	12:10pm morphe': Louisiana [sp?]= East Texas West Texas = desolation What do a tornado and a West Texas divorce have in common??
	12:11pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "77" by "Nuevo" Well this doesn't suck.
	12:11pm ChrisB.: There is a version of that chili that includes hot dogs.
	12:11pm PNX: For everyone playing Guess That Scotch at home, it's Lagavulin 16.
	12:12pm prof.fuzz: ↳ morphe' @12:10 mark your calendar for 5/22. berlin nyc. more coming soon.
	12:12pm TVP: And there is baker's chocolate and cinnamon in the recipe for Cincy chili.
	12:12pm Toothgrinder Tom: I like ski lodge chilli the mostest.
	12:13pm morphe': What do a tornado and a West Texas divorce have in common?? Someone is losing a trailer ... [Northeners are a mean bunch a .....]
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ PNX @12:11 If I guessed it correctly, how much do I win? Measured in drams, preferably.
	12:14pm Chris Hiatt: Jury duty should start way later than 7:45, and they should have a spa option.
	12:14pm Hubig Pie: Pool Hall chili will mess you up good.
	12:15pm morphe': ↳ prof.fuzz @12:12 5-22 ... Berlin NYC exists??? We'll talk on the other side .. I am NYC 22Jan=12Feb ...
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Baby Get Your Head Screwed On" by "Cat Stevens" always been mad about the string arrangments on this!! and guitar tone!
	12:16pm clarke: you SAW The Fieldstones??? holy f'n shit!!! wow!!!
	12:17pm Squints: ↳ Song: "I Do" by "Gerald Dowd" I like how this evokes Robbie Fulks in thrashier mode. I love Robbie Fulks in all modes. But I really like it thrashy sometimes.
	12:17pm Bob: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:56 He grew up on Grosse Isle. A weird little country club and private airport island in the midst of the Detroit River. It’s mandatory for living there.
	12:17pm Squints: ↳ Song: "I Do" by "Gerald Dowd" Oh. That Gerald.
	12:18pm andy fuchs: @hubig pie: Pool Hall Chili (great band name), as is Rest stop sushi....
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:17 oh that gerald!
	12:19pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:16 and they were really good - place only sold 40oz beers
	12:19pm PNX: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:13 However many it takes!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:14 did you ever frequent Acy's Pool Hall on Sophie B. Wright Way?? back in the day.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:19 i have two of their albums - AMAYZING!!
	12:22pm drr: Nobody's mentioned movies yet? I hope I'm not stepping out of line...This week: Chilly Scenes Of Winter (USA, 1979, dir. Joan Micklin Silver) Monster (Japan, 2023, dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda) CSow is strange, it seems like a rom-co, down to the soft jazz, but more and more you realize the fella (John Heard) might be a dangerous stalker. The studio released it as a rom-com called Head Over Heels, it failed, but the amkers got a sadder ending put on it and released it as CSoW. It's very good. Monster is also quite an experience, i went in knowing nothing and I'm glad; all I'll say is it's a great example of how movies , and POV in movies, can fool you. Comparisns to Rashomon are valid.
	12:22pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:19 Played pool at the Saturn Bar- Sinatra on the jukebox and the owner of the joint having a conversation with himself at the bar.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:22 new ownership, sadly.
	12:22pm Squeaky Dave: Ooh, this priceless Nigerian record is groovy!
	12:23pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:22 Hey, the new owners (and new P.A.) are great but it's odd for the owner not to be a Broyard.
	12:23pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Gravy Round Your Steak" by "T.V. Slim" Lentilles round a Egg.. with Harrissa .. warm thick pita/Africa bread.. Pink Sky as the sun goes en Madrid.. a glass of wine = rosado and a Red as the food comes about ...
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:22 wow. never seen either. want to, now
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:23 i heard from 'some sources' that it was pay-to-play there. fug dat.
	12:26pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:25 Incorrect? they treated us great. I hope that hasn't changed.
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: No WEH tonight, though we'll be there next Sat. for Joe Bataan.
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Ruby" by "Sneakers" talk is cheap!!! yassss!!
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:25 Pay to play pool? Seems fairly standard ...
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:26 uh, ask FuZZZ
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Ruby" by "Sneakers" There was a definite stiff-limbed quality that was pervasive among the early 'new wave' style. Herky jerky and not funky.
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:28 Which I think might be why I dig it. It turned into like a spastic energy in the 80s.
	12:29pm clarke: called "quirky", at the time.
	12:29pm xtrakrispy: ↳ PNX @12:11 That was in my top 3. I went with their neighbor Caol Ila cuz the photo show it as SO light in color. Lagavulin ages in multitimes-used barrels as well...slainte!
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Like To Love (live)" by "Free Design, The" b'ham england or b'ham alabama??
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:29 I dig it too -- interesting to me that it became such a marker of the style.
	12:31pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:27 we haven't played Saturn. siberia treated us fine.
	12:31pm egould: Best part of my week is the Saturday morning run listening to Michael Shelley. Miles of asphalt under my feet, hours of #1 hits in my ears. Thanks, MS!
	12:32pm clarke: movies this past week: probably my 22nd re-watch of The Big Lebowski on TCM - brilliant. I Died A Thousand Deaths - a 50's remake of Sierra Madre.
	12:32pm drr: ↳ Song: "Like To Love (live)" by "Free Design, The" A recent Euclid find (that I didn't buy) was a vintage "Kites Are Fun" Free Design LP. Gatefold sleeve. Somebody had cut out what I guess was a picture of the group from the sleeve, and it was MONO. IDK, maybe it's the absolute rarest FD album of all.
	12:32pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Like To Love (live)" by "Free Design, The" Very rich kid talent show sounding. (I don't mean that as an insult)
	12:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ xtrakrispy @12:29 Man, I love Caol Ila.
	12:32pm Frank In Queens: Slow movie week this week; tons of shitty hockey instead.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:31 i recall you (or another friend's band?) telling me that the Saturn tried to pull some booking bullshit last year, on u??
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:32 yes, sports has taken up a lot of MovieTime!!
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The Race Is On" by "George Jones" I was very into the Cocaine & Rhinestones podcast, which devotes an astounding amount of time to George Jones. Then I listened to the host's other podcat, "Your Favorite Band Sucks," and it pissed me off.
	12:34pm xtrakrispy: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:32 Me too. Part of the reason I think I was channeling it into that pic. :^)
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:34 thats david allan coe's son, right?
	12:34pm drr: The wonderful sound of Lil' Bob's squeaky bass drum pedal.
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I Got Loaded" by "Lil' Bob And The Lollipops" Great to hear the original, or at least an older version of this, but man, the sax solo in the Los Lobos version -- possibly even for DJs who don't like sax solos -- is one for the ages.
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:33 Four games last week; 0-4 on the road trip. 4 games this coming week, 3 at home which I'm going to. I might be rather grumpy on next week's comments board...
	12:35pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:34 Indeed. I just couldn't understand at the end of one episode why REM sucked.
	12:35pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "I Got Loaded" by "Lil' Bob And The Lollipops" Hit after hit after hit!
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:35 wow, you are going to three games this week?? grumpy yes.
	12:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: As someone who's been sober for nearly 13 years that getting loaded songs are one of my favorite subgenres of music. Seriously.
	12:36pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:13 For something from that neighborhood, looks more like a Caol Ila than a Lagavulin. Lagavulin is usually a little darker.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:36 even if they WIN all three! ha ha.
	12:36pm KWilde: Love this Bucky tune
	12:36pm Hubig Pie: You couldn't fit a band in the Saturn Bar back in the 1990's. Too much junk furniture and nick-nacks.
	12:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:36 Yeah, one was a make-up game from two weeks ago. Weather sucked and I felt like I was getting sick, so I punted to this coming week.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:35 the ONLY podcasts i listen to is Come To The Sunshine and I Am The Fly!!
	12:37pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:36 I worked with a professor who had an idea for a book about drinking songs. The number is astounding! Project petered out, and I was glad because it would have been never-ending.
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:36 phat, check out Becky's drinking show from her sin series during High Pandemic times: www.wfmu.org...
	12:38pm clarke: not MILD!
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:37 I just can't find a way to fit podcasts into my deliciously decadent urban lifestyle choices.
	12:39pm Folksnake: Standout movie this week: Nicholas Ray's They Live By Night with Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell. A real revelation, loved it. Must see it again soon. Fell in love w/ Cathy O'Donnell all over again
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 until they have a Liquor Scam podcast!
	12:39pm clarke: called There's A Beverage Here, Man!
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:39 I oughta write 'em.
	12:40pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 Nice
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 another caucasian, gary.
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:37 You gots good taste!
	12:41pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:33 oh, that's right. they gave us a "hold" on the date but wouldn't confirm our full line up, then wanted us to "challenge the hold" two weeks prior to the date to see if we got the date or another bill got the date. that WAS some bullshit!
	12:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:41 Friends like these, huh, Gary?
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:41 those FUCKING FUCKS!!!
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Folksnake @12:39 That one has been on my list for a while.
	12:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:41 Whoa
	12:42pm David Watts: I'm always kinky
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Folksnake @12:39 great one Folks!!
	12:43pm clarke: i bet The Stacks bring their own crowd so they can play at the Saturn.
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: We watched Blade on New Year's Day, and it was unbelievably awesome.
	12:43pm prof.fuzz: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:42 like i'm gonna base a 1000 mile round trip on the off chance that we could defeat another line up in some form of marketing combat...
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:43 ees bush league boo'sheet.
	12:44pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:43 Crowd? What crowd?
	12:44pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "A Little Bit Of You" by "Dallas Frazier" I guess Roger Miller passed on it?
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:44 slight joke.
	12:45pm Hubig Pie: Watched Blast of Silence on TCM a couple weeks ago. Was surprised at the WFMU connection
	12:45pm prof.fuzz: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:43 i'd have been even more pissed if they had confirmed my bill and then bumped it two weeks prior to the date because another line up "won the challenge." this is booking professional traveling guitar-owners, not some reality game show...
	12:46pm drr: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:43 when you put it like that it sounds like a great piece of marketing.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:45 i missed that, but TCM has been great since all the xmas movies.
	12:46pm Michael Shelley: www.nationaldaycalendar.com...
	12:47pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Tighter And Tighter" by "Jay Mitchell" You’re a little too on fire, Baby. Head explode.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 DRR is ALL in!!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Tighter And Tighter" by "Jay Mitchell" purdie??
	12:47pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Tighter And Tighter" by "Jay Mitchell" G. G. Y.
	12:47pm clarke: way too busy.
	12:48pm zak: Happy National DJ day Michael!
	12:48pm Greg from ZONE 5: It's also National Good Day Day! (Which I'm sure Marty will be celebrating later today) tinyurl.com...
	12:49pm prof.fuzz: in contrast, Siberia was fantastic! they took on a bunch of shows left without a venue when Gasa Gasa closed, treated us very nicely, and we all had a good time.
	12:49pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Tighter And Tighter" by "Jay Mitchell" When I listen to this song, and I often do. It’s at least 10 times in a row.
	12:49pm clarke: there are a plethora of good series, tho. actually, too many to name. seems like the strikes did not affect production all that much (unless that is coming?).
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:49 Lots of shows were canceled during the strikes.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:49 and, also, i have to say Siberia has turned into a nice club, there.
	12:50pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:45 Mom's 92 these days!
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:50 well you can't tell that from what's coming out now!!
	12:50pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:50 the food was good!
	12:51pm clarke: wow!!
	12:51pm drr: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:45 I'll have a word with them.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:50 oh yeah - i wanted to try that Industry Plate!! forgot!
	12:51pm Barefoot Jimmy G: KIM!!!
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:51 you NEED to book a Stacks show while Handy and k8 are here!!
	12:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Later on, MSers!
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Song: "It's Different For Girls" by "Joe Jackson" it has been a while.. and.. killer!

	12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:53 So damn good

	12:54pm clarke: graham maby bass tone... dang.
	12:55pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "It's Different For Girls" by "Joe Jackson" I love those chord changes on the bridge.

	12:58pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:57 wishing you love, mercy, and enough rope
	12:58pm Dano59: So if someone loved 'Jumpin' Jive' but doesn't want to see Joe do only half a show of his own music. and the other half a tribute to an obscure music hall artist this summer, is he a philistine?
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: I hope Amy has the cat by now.
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: Fucking Barbara!
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been barbara'd?? good nite.

	12:59pm Hughie Considine: Fucking Paramus!
	12:59pm DG: Who is this Amy's mom person? (obviously a member of the Tribe).

	11:21am Listener Baby: There is no opposite word for “not.” The opposite of “not” is to omit it. For example, the opposite of “She is not here” is “She is here.” Sometimes you also have to omit “do.” For example, the opposite of “Do not walk there” is “Walk there.” Food for thought.
	11:21am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:19 Speaking of, this lyric from Joe Strummer caught my ear the other day. Not sure what it means but it sure sounds good: "And driving coal all-night to Newcastle It's getting to be a repetative strain"
	11:22am listener phat in Lincoln: This Gordian Knot is groovy.
	11:22am clarke: that Gordian Knot took the bass-line directly from Forever Changes!
	11:23am Squints: Who was the Ragin' Cajun? That wasn't Doug Kershaw, was it? Or somebody else?
	11:23am Toothgrinder Tom: The Engagin’ Cajun?
	11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:22 Probably where it got its grooviness!
	11:23am drr: M B uet oth i go ng in & ut.
	11:23am Toothgrinder Tom: The Engagin’ Cajun?
	11:23am Listener Baby: Baby. Playlist. Knot, not there.
	11:24am Vpfavale: what was the song before this one...I don't think the playlist updated..thanks!
	11:24am prof.fuzz: howdy y'all
	11:24am Peter Horvath: Good morning Michael, and good morning to all the people who support the number ones.
	11:24am HyperDose: Great interview with The Gordian Knot's Leland Russell by our own Zoe Lynn on her Perfumed Garden show: www.wfmu.org...
	11:24am drr: ↳ Squints @11:23 A student or ballplayer at University of Louisiana - Lafayette. I think a radio station, as well.
	11:25am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZ
	11:25am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEEE
	11:25am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @11:23 James Carville, too
	11:25am clarke: baby has a thing for rice, this morn.
	11:25am drr: It's a POPEYE'S thing!
	11:25am prof.fuzz: we're making dirty rice for lunch today
	11:25am northguineahills: proffy fuzzrucker!
	11:26am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:15 Howdy, Clarke!
	11:26am clarke: uhhhh.... Dirty Rice has been on the Popeye's menu for decades; however, i think it got discontinued in the north?
	11:26am Frank In Queens: Thank the PSC for that!
	11:26am prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @11:25 north guinea skyscraper!
	11:27am clarke: ↳ drr @11:25 yes! al copeland figured out the way to not waste the gizzards and livers was to make the dirty rice and save $$ - but, dang, it's good!
	11:27am Mr. Jones: OMG a GAS meter segue' eegads!
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Same Old Thing" by "Meters, The" Also sampled by Del the Funky Homosapien for "Same Ol' Thing"!
	11:28am listener phat in Lincoln: I'm glad I'm on the gas budget plan! Otherwise I'd be looking at a $400+ gas bill.
	11:28am evancuts: I'm scared you're gonna follow this Meters song with Classical Gas!
	11:28am northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:26 upstate this weekend!
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:28 HELLO GREGORY!!!
	11:28am Bob: You’re cooking with gas now
	11:29am greg g: Morning Michael , Muchachos, and Muchachas !
	11:29am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:28 Nice
	11:29am prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @11:28 north guinea trees!
	11:29am Mr. Jones: ↳ evancuts @11:28 Ha!
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:21 joe strummer and Frank - newcastle fans.
	11:29am listener phat in Lincoln: I think I need to switch back to medium gauge picks.
	11:29am HyperDose: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:28 Spoken like a true hip-hop head! d^_^b
	11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: Lol
	11:30am northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:29 and it's 10 degrees! (F, -12 C)
	11:30am greg g: Sounded like the Booch there!
	11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Never Made The Grade" by "Peach And Lee" Well damn.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ northguineahills @11:30 yipe!
	11:31am Michael Shelley: ↳ Vpfavale @11:24 Thanks Vinnie - added!
	11:31am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:29 medium = cool.
	11:32am Bob: Isn’t the dirty just cooking the rice in bacon fat? Andre Williams says yes. My doctor says not for me. Clarke says Andre still owes me money. Good luck collecting that!
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:31 It's what Lou Reed used!
	11:32am drr: ↳ clarke @11:27 Church's dirty rice is liver-forward. It might not look good, depending on your sense of aesthetics, but it tastes good. Popeye's dirty rice is okay. I think they might have discontinued it in the South too, though. Or maybe it was just the Popeye's we went to last.
	11:32am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, clarke! @HyperDose: Nothing more satisfying than spotting samples in the wild!
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:32 the gizzards and livers are chopped up to create the 'dirty'.
	11:33am Hughie Considine: What's nice is that the contents of the glass match the album cover. Well played!
	11:33am clarke: ↳ drr @11:32 i LOVE popeye's dirty rice - but, yes, i think it is in decline??
	11:34am Frank In Queens: Hot water
	11:34am paul: Probably a single malt scotch. Maybe an 18 year old McCallan
	11:35am drr: ↳ clarke @11:33 Don't sleep on Church's then!
	11:35am Hughie Considine: Radio people are probably seen as notoriously opinionated.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ drr @11:32 speaking of discontinued Popeye's items: when popeye's first started (literally four blocks from where i presently reside), they had fried gizzard dinner - which my dad LOVED. put worcester sauce all over them. that item didn't last very long, tho.
	11:35am Frank In Queens: Bubbly types, ugh
	11:36am Squints: How can one mispronounce "Shelley?"
	11:36am Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @11:33 I have a great veggie dirty rice recipe in one of my Ottolenghi cookbooks that uses chestnuts in place of weird innards.
	11:36am Bob: I got thrown off jury duty for a drug case for owning a record store. They zeroed in on my likely sympathy for minor drug possession and they were right
	11:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:35 I love "what's-this-here" sauce.
	11:36am Mailman Tom: I got out of jury duty four times!
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:36 shall lay??
	11:36am drr: ↳ clarke @11:35 The gizzard is Nature's Everlasting Gobstopper but I'm happy that happened for your pop.
	11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:36 Ooh
	11:37am evancuts: Followed that thread too. I completetly agree with you. I found her totally annoying and condescending. I hope you had a chance to make it over to Hobby's Deli!
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Hey now, Michael and the Shellefish. Been getting brunch on the table.
	11:38am clarke: ↳ drr @11:36 there's a good joke i have to tell you off-line.
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:37 What's for brunch?
	11:39am Frank In Queens: Hello stereo!
	11:39am andy fuchs: Tony Mottola played a custom made Gibson Crest with Les Paul Low impedance pickups, plugged directly into the mixing console...thus the super clean tone :)
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:37 jalapenos!!!!
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Kites Are Fun" by "Tony Mattola" I had no idea Tony Mattola actually made records.
	11:39am berbo: Juror number four plays nothing but number ones.
	11:39am Handy Haversack: Egg sandwiches with sauteed onion and spinach and veg. sausage and a side of jalapeno hash.
	11:39am Michael Shelley: ↳ evancuts @11:37 I did have a Hobbie's sandwich - it was good, but my recent Katz' was 10x better...
	11:40am clarke: i got out of jury duty, once, by claiming popeye's was having a sale on dirty rice.
	11:40am northguineahills: ↳ Squints @11:36 shee-lay?
	11:40am Marne: Kites ARE fun
	11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:39 On my way
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:39 omg - Katz.. now we talkin'!!
	11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Marne @11:40 I was gonna say that!
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Kites Are Fun" by "Tony Mattola" Real bell-like tone. Kind they like in Jazz. Presume hollow body ? Hint of a harmonic... It's in the picking. Slight tremolo... Octaves like Wes Montgomery one moment...
	11:41am northguineahills: ↳ Mailman Tom @11:36 5/6 for me (but that one time, the most tedious civil matter that after a week got dropped...)
	11:41am Squints: ↳ northguineahills @11:40 I'm pretty sure saying it "shee-lay" would get you thrown off the jury right quick.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:41 which is not a bad thing.
	11:42am Bob: The mashed potatoes with Cajun gravy is the Popeyes star. But I don’t eat that either.
	11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: I still want to do jury duty
	11:42am greg g: Lost the stream here . Anyone else?
	11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ greg g @11:42 Fine here
	11:43am clarke: actually, i once got out of jury duty, for reals, by showing the guy my tour calender of shows booked.
	11:43am Bob: This guy likes Big Al
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:42 EVERYthing at popeye's is excellent!
	11:44am xtrakrispy: Just gettin an eye on that Scotch. It's super light in color, which most likely indicates it's either not too old (which means it's not pricey due to age). So, more likely aged in multiply used barrels. The most likely would be Caol Ila. The 12yr is about $90. Older bottling can go for much more. That's my guess...
	11:44am Christina Ginger: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:36 This article has the same recipe as in the book. I didn’t use the black garlic, and used vegan butter. www.theguardian.com...
	11:44am greg g: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:42 Thanks listener phat. Bummer here in Buffalo. Will try again later
	11:44am Squints: ↳ northguineahills @11:41 MMt, dismissed after having shown up, or just told the night before they don't need you? The latter's happened to me the last four, maybe five, times I've been summoned. But I don't count those. Dismissed once in Pittsburgh after sitting all day and they didn't have a ready case by end of day. Served in Brockton about twenty years ago. Were I retired with time on my hands, it would be an interesting periodic civic exercise.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: An irony - we all want to get dismissed from JuryDuty - but the good lawyers for the right cause are always hoping that sane not hateful people will actually serve. Divided on this ...want to so civic duty & serve Justice ...not @ all confident in the System overall to even tell me the essential truths of a situation.
	11:44am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:43 last time i reported for jury duty, i was dismissed because about 25 of my students (in-person) were out with covid so i was deemed to be in close contact. the judge was nice. she thanked me for my service of the front lines of education and apologized for the shitty way teachers are treated.
	11:44am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:43 Yeah. Popeyes and Baja Fresh are the only chain restaurants I like. Baja is basically gone too
	11:45am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:44 Thanks!
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:44 yeah, but you live in NH. diff thang.
	11:46am andy fuchs: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c7/64/0b/c7640bfd0b33650035d365e3fb513331.jpg
	11:46am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:44 an Apologist.
	11:47am andy fuchs: The famous Tony Motola guitar ;)
	11:47am Squints: ↳ Bob @11:42 I'd wave that right in. I decided long ago that there's no point to living long if I can live well. So far having it both ways. I don't go to excess. Ecept at the pub.
	11:48am Squeaky Dave: Billy Strings, nice!
	11:48am listener phat in Lincoln: Holy cow. I didn't realize Andy Fuchs = Fuchs Amps
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:46 Oh I'm sure ! & to say nothing of the inconvenience & all these things...
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:47 nobody!
	11:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:44 YUM
	11:50am listener phat in Lincoln: All sorts of Hep Stars on this message board.
	11:50am Squints: ↳ Song: "Nobody" by "Jackson 5, The" I've always loved that repeated shout thing any time MJ deploys it.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:50 phuZZZZZ
	11:51am Christina Ginger: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 Handy and Phat, it’s worth a make!
	11:51am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Mekeyershene Salawke" by "Alèmayèhu Eshèté" Dude shreds!!
	11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Mekeyershene Salawke" by "Alèmayèhu Eshèté" I can see the similarities with Elvis.
	11:52am Frank In Queens: 9/10
	11:52am clarke: 9/10
	11:52am Toothgrinder Tom: This Ethiopian jazz is just the thing when you’re hungover.
	11:52am clarke: the judges agree!
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Mekeyershene Salawke" by "Alèmayèhu Eshèté" I love distinctions like "the Ethiopian Elvis." Like, Triumvirat were known as the German ELP, and the singer from Mouth & McNeil was known as the Dutch Joe Cocker.
	11:53am andy fuchs: He may be the Ethiopian Elvis, but he's no El Vez, the Mexican Elvis...
	11:54am Matt in Nebraska: I got called in for jury duty. The plaintiff was the secretary for my boss's boss. I was dismissed. FWIW "Rock n' Roll High School" plays on TCM in 5 minutes.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ andy fuchs @11:53 ...no one plays El Vez :( ...
	11:55am clarke: TCM has been tearin' it up!
	11:55am Mr C: Just FYI, Tommy Mottola was Tony's cousin, not his son.
	11:55am clarke: ↳ Mr C @11:55 the voice of reason!
	11:56am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:53 The last one is weird to me. I get that he's a shouter, but that fella in Mouth And MacNeal wasn't rough-edged enough to be a Joe Cocker. If anything, he sounds like Nashville Skyline Dylan if Zim decided really to belt it out.
	11:56am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "Tiny Spark" by "Brendan Benson" Too bad Brendan Benson is a right wing loon (or was last i checked).
	11:57am Squints: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:54 GI-ay-ay Blues.
	11:57am johnk77: ↳ Squints @11:23 doug kershaw was billed as the ragin cajun at least for live appearances in the 1970s during his party monster phase
	11:58am prof.fuzz: ↳ johnk77 @11:57 i'm gonna start referring to the ragin cajun speaker in my guitar amp as a "doug kershaw"...
	11:58am myron feld: The last time i was called for jury duty (federal), I didn't make it past the voir dire, but what was cool was whenever either side approached the bench for a sidebar with the judge, a white noise machine was turned on so you couldn't hear what they were saying.
	11:58am andy fuchs: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 Sadly true. El Vez, never got his due...
	11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: One time, I received a letter to serve on a grand jury. Put the letter aside and forgot about the matter until a week after I was supposed to call in. I guess my number didn't come up because they never came after me for neglecting it.
	11:59am Frank In Queens: Wow, Frankenstein song
	12:00pm prof.fuzz: ↳ andy fuchs @11:58 i like to imagine santa (or is it santana?) with a workshop full of El Vez making toys for children...
	12:00pm Squints: ↳ johnk77 @11:57 I saw Doug Kershaw on a PBS special, or maybe it was Austin City Limits, in the mid-1970s with Vassar Clements (I think) and Jean-Luc Ponty.
	12:00pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "Despair" by "Breakaways, The" He's certainly Got That Feeling.
	12:00pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Despair" by "Breakaways, The" Hahahahaha, more like, which song do I like that Ray Davies wrote?
	12:00pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:56 I never really got that either, just found it hilariously specific.
	12:00pm Squints: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:58 "Give me a little more of that Kershaw."
	12:01pm Folksnake: Man, lots of "The Breakaways" out there
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Despair" by "Breakaways, The" Beatlesque chorus, Kinky verses... Beatles might alter Major & Minor same Chord - RayDavies in Minor overall like that. It's not bad @ all...
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: Christina, Frank, you two seeing any of the shows tonight?
	12:01pm clarke: and to think we once knew hugh.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: happy "I feel validated" emoji
	12:02pm northguineahills: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:56 jack person in hoboken!
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:01 Might head to Ore Bar for Suzy and Terre's DJ night
	12:02pm Hoboken Jack: Did somebody say pizza?
	12:02pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:01 Not heading to JC and not hitting the Dream Syndicate either.
	12:02pm clarke: hiya Jack!
	12:02pm HyperDose: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:02 Jamaican beef patties, mon!
	12:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Christina Ginger @12:02 We'll be at TV Eye: Shilpa Ray!
	12:03pm clarke: the northern popeye's have gotten lamed out, really.
	12:04pm northguineahills: i'm making blueberry pancake tacos, pancake becomes tortilla, toppings become filling!
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:02 Nice
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:59 I had the same experience
	12:04pm clarke: read up!! the dirty rice is AWEsome! but, you can't get it up north.
	12:04pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:03 I've been to the Popeye's on Myrtle Avenue in BK many more times than any Popeye's in LA.
	12:04pm GerryB: Go for the red beans Michael. None better in these here parts.
	12:04pm thin slice: Just seeing news that Mary Weiss has died
	12:04pm Barefoot Jimmy G: Popeye's Dirty Rice is ok for fast food.
	12:04pm Listener Baby: WEST Texas? You are closer to LA than WEST Texas.
	12:05pm prof.fuzz: we got a new popeyes a couple of minutes from our house. woot!
	12:05pm Barefoot Jimmy G: You can get it at the one here in Bay Ridge.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:04 they are okay, but you can't some of the same items.
	12:05pm Todd in RVA: Dirty Rice is typically a sausage gravy mixed with white or wild rice. It is VERY good and Popeye's version is pretty darn good.
	12:05pm myron feld: I think Dale was in fact from Louisiana.
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: ↳ drr @12:04 I've never been in a Popeye's. There's one in Greenpoint, though, and I have been stopped on the street and asked directions to it several times.
	12:05pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Listener Baby @12:04 that's what i was thinking!
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:05 you GOTTA try the Truff Chicken Sandwich.. amazing. (i do not work for the company)
	12:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: Popeye's was probably the last fried chicken I ever had.
	12:06pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ clarke @12:03 For real. Everything is dry dry dry, including the dirty rice. I'd try the fish sandwich work around tho', just for kicks.
	12:06pm Pedro in Arlington: Funny enough, rundown, desolate Union Station in the nation's capital just got the first Raising Cane's Chicken in the region. Supposedly good stuff. Even the Starbucks closed in that place, which warmly welcomed the Beatles in February 1964.
	12:06pm Christina Ginger: Popeyes biscuits were so good. The best part of going to see a show in Buffalo was stopping at the rest stop with the Popeyes. I say ‘were’ because I haven’t had them since going vegan in college.
	12:07pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:06 you had me at "i don't work..." i'll try the sammich next time.
	12:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:06 Probably recording an album, come to think of it, as that studio has a Popeye's nearby.
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: Ground beef with cinnamon.
	12:07pm Toothgrinder Tom: I got dismissed from jury duty just for saying essentially, I trusted cops to tell the truth in their testimony, all things being equal. The judge looked at me like I had three heads.
	12:07pm paul: sour cream
	12:07pm David Watts: I get a Popeyes chicken sandwich every time I'm in a city that has one
	12:08pm myron feld: I love five-way.
	12:08pm drr: ↳ David Watts @12:07 I forgot about those; when those came out the drive-in lines were blocking traffic.
	12:09pm Chris Hiatt: I love Cincy chili, all the ways. I'll die on that hill.
	12:09pm p_glow: Cheese Coney and a Three-way pls
	12:09pm SoCar Ken: SKLYLINE!!!
	12:10pm Handy Haversack: ¡Nuevo! Been too long! You ever make any progress trying to get them on the show, MS?
	12:10pm myron feld: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:09 Yeah!!
	12:10pm morphe': Louisiana [sp?]= East Texas West Texas = desolation What do a tornado and a West Texas divorce have in common??
	12:11pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "77" by "Nuevo" Well this doesn't suck.
	12:11pm ChrisB.: There is a version of that chili that includes hot dogs.
	12:11pm PNX: For everyone playing Guess That Scotch at home, it's Lagavulin 16.
	12:12pm prof.fuzz: ↳ morphe' @12:10 mark your calendar for 5/22. berlin nyc. more coming soon.
	12:12pm TVP: And there is baker's chocolate and cinnamon in the recipe for Cincy chili.
	12:12pm Toothgrinder Tom: I like ski lodge chilli the mostest.
	12:13pm morphe': What do a tornado and a West Texas divorce have in common?? Someone is losing a trailer ... [Northeners are a mean bunch a .....]
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ PNX @12:11 If I guessed it correctly, how much do I win? Measured in drams, preferably.
	12:14pm Chris Hiatt: Jury duty should start way later than 7:45, and they should have a spa option.
	12:14pm Hubig Pie: Pool Hall chili will mess you up good.
	12:15pm morphe': ↳ prof.fuzz @12:12 5-22 ... Berlin NYC exists??? We'll talk on the other side .. I am NYC 22Jan=12Feb ...
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Baby Get Your Head Screwed On" by "Cat Stevens" always been mad about the string arrangments on this!! and guitar tone!
	12:16pm clarke: you SAW The Fieldstones??? holy f'n shit!!! wow!!!
	12:17pm Squints: ↳ Song: "I Do" by "Gerald Dowd" I like how this evokes Robbie Fulks in thrashier mode. I love Robbie Fulks in all modes. But I really like it thrashy sometimes.
	12:17pm Bob: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:56 He grew up on Grosse Isle. A weird little country club and private airport island in the midst of the Detroit River. It’s mandatory for living there.
	12:17pm Squints: ↳ Song: "I Do" by "Gerald Dowd" Oh. That Gerald.
	12:18pm andy fuchs: @hubig pie: Pool Hall Chili (great band name), as is Rest stop sushi....
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:17 oh that gerald!
	12:19pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:16 and they were really good - place only sold 40oz beers
	12:19pm PNX: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:13 However many it takes!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:14 did you ever frequent Acy's Pool Hall on Sophie B. Wright Way?? back in the day.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:19 i have two of their albums - AMAYZING!!
	12:22pm drr: Nobody's mentioned movies yet? I hope I'm not stepping out of line...This week: Chilly Scenes Of Winter (USA, 1979, dir. Joan Micklin Silver) Monster (Japan, 2023, dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda) CSow is strange, it seems like a rom-co, down to the soft jazz, but more and more you realize the fella (John Heard) might be a dangerous stalker. The studio released it as a rom-com called Head Over Heels, it failed, but the amkers got a sadder ending put on it and released it as CSoW. It's very good. Monster is also quite an experience, i went in knowing nothing and I'm glad; all I'll say is it's a great example of how movies , and POV in movies, can fool you. Comparisns to Rashomon are valid.
	12:22pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:19 Played pool at the Saturn Bar- Sinatra on the jukebox and the owner of the joint having a conversation with himself at the bar.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:22 new ownership, sadly.
	12:22pm Squeaky Dave: Ooh, this priceless Nigerian record is groovy!
	12:23pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:22 Hey, the new owners (and new P.A.) are great but it's odd for the owner not to be a Broyard.
	12:23pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Gravy Round Your Steak" by "T.V. Slim" Lentilles round a Egg.. with Harrissa .. warm thick pita/Africa bread.. Pink Sky as the sun goes en Madrid.. a glass of wine = rosado and a Red as the food comes about ...
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:22 wow. never seen either. want to, now
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:23 i heard from 'some sources' that it was pay-to-play there. fug dat.
	12:26pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:25 Incorrect? they treated us great. I hope that hasn't changed.
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: No WEH tonight, though we'll be there next Sat. for Joe Bataan.
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Ruby" by "Sneakers" talk is cheap!!! yassss!!
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:25 Pay to play pool? Seems fairly standard ...
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:26 uh, ask FuZZZ
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Ruby" by "Sneakers" There was a definite stiff-limbed quality that was pervasive among the early 'new wave' style. Herky jerky and not funky.
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:28 Which I think might be why I dig it. It turned into like a spastic energy in the 80s.
	12:29pm clarke: called "quirky", at the time.
	12:29pm xtrakrispy: ↳ PNX @12:11 That was in my top 3. I went with their neighbor Caol Ila cuz the photo show it as SO light in color. Lagavulin ages in multitimes-used barrels as well...slainte!
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Like To Love (live)" by "Free Design, The" b'ham england or b'ham alabama??
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:29 I dig it too -- interesting to me that it became such a marker of the style.
	12:31pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:27 we haven't played Saturn. siberia treated us fine.
	12:31pm egould: Best part of my week is the Saturday morning run listening to Michael Shelley. Miles of asphalt under my feet, hours of #1 hits in my ears. Thanks, MS!
	12:32pm clarke: movies this past week: probably my 22nd re-watch of The Big Lebowski on TCM - brilliant. I Died A Thousand Deaths - a 50's remake of Sierra Madre.
	12:32pm drr: ↳ Song: "Like To Love (live)" by "Free Design, The" A recent Euclid find (that I didn't buy) was a vintage "Kites Are Fun" Free Design LP. Gatefold sleeve. Somebody had cut out what I guess was a picture of the group from the sleeve, and it was MONO. IDK, maybe it's the absolute rarest FD album of all.
	12:32pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Like To Love (live)" by "Free Design, The" Very rich kid talent show sounding. (I don't mean that as an insult)
	12:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ xtrakrispy @12:29 Man, I love Caol Ila.
	12:32pm Frank In Queens: Slow movie week this week; tons of shitty hockey instead.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:31 i recall you (or another friend's band?) telling me that the Saturn tried to pull some booking bullshit last year, on u??
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:32 yes, sports has taken up a lot of MovieTime!!
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The Race Is On" by "George Jones" I was very into the Cocaine & Rhinestones podcast, which devotes an astounding amount of time to George Jones. Then I listened to the host's other podcat, "Your Favorite Band Sucks," and it pissed me off.
	12:34pm xtrakrispy: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:32 Me too. Part of the reason I think I was channeling it into that pic. :^)
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:34 thats david allan coe's son, right?
	12:34pm drr: The wonderful sound of Lil' Bob's squeaky bass drum pedal.
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I Got Loaded" by "Lil' Bob And The Lollipops" Great to hear the original, or at least an older version of this, but man, the sax solo in the Los Lobos version -- possibly even for DJs who don't like sax solos -- is one for the ages.
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:33 Four games last week; 0-4 on the road trip. 4 games this coming week, 3 at home which I'm going to. I might be rather grumpy on next week's comments board...
	12:35pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:34 Indeed. I just couldn't understand at the end of one episode why REM sucked.
	12:35pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "I Got Loaded" by "Lil' Bob And The Lollipops" Hit after hit after hit!
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:35 wow, you are going to three games this week?? grumpy yes.
	12:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: As someone who's been sober for nearly 13 years that getting loaded songs are one of my favorite subgenres of music. Seriously.
	12:36pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:13 For something from that neighborhood, looks more like a Caol Ila than a Lagavulin. Lagavulin is usually a little darker.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:36 even if they WIN all three! ha ha.
	12:36pm KWilde: Love this Bucky tune
	12:36pm Hubig Pie: You couldn't fit a band in the Saturn Bar back in the 1990's. Too much junk furniture and nick-nacks.
	12:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:36 Yeah, one was a make-up game from two weeks ago. Weather sucked and I felt like I was getting sick, so I punted to this coming week.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:35 the ONLY podcasts i listen to is Come To The Sunshine and I Am The Fly!!
	12:37pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:36 I worked with a professor who had an idea for a book about drinking songs. The number is astounding! Project petered out, and I was glad because it would have been never-ending.
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:36 phat, check out Becky's drinking show from her sin series during High Pandemic times: www.wfmu.org...
	12:38pm clarke: not MILD!
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:37 I just can't find a way to fit podcasts into my deliciously decadent urban lifestyle choices.
	12:39pm Folksnake: Standout movie this week: Nicholas Ray's They Live By Night with Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell. A real revelation, loved it. Must see it again soon. Fell in love w/ Cathy O'Donnell all over again
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 until they have a Liquor Scam podcast!
	12:39pm clarke: called There's A Beverage Here, Man!
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:39 I oughta write 'em.
	12:40pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 Nice
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 another caucasian, gary.
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:37 You gots good taste!
	12:41pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:33 oh, that's right. they gave us a "hold" on the date but wouldn't confirm our full line up, then wanted us to "challenge the hold" two weeks prior to the date to see if we got the date or another bill got the date. that WAS some bullshit!
	12:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:41 Friends like these, huh, Gary?
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:41 those FUCKING FUCKS!!!
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Folksnake @12:39 That one has been on my list for a while.
	12:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:41 Whoa
	12:42pm David Watts: I'm always kinky
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Folksnake @12:39 great one Folks!!
	12:43pm clarke: i bet The Stacks bring their own crowd so they can play at the Saturn.
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: We watched Blade on New Year's Day, and it was unbelievably awesome.
	12:43pm prof.fuzz: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:42 like i'm gonna base a 1000 mile round trip on the off chance that we could defeat another line up in some form of marketing combat...
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:43 ees bush league boo'sheet.
	12:44pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:43 Crowd? What crowd?
	12:44pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "A Little Bit Of You" by "Dallas Frazier" I guess Roger Miller passed on it?
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:44 slight joke.
	12:45pm Hubig Pie: Watched Blast of Silence on TCM a couple weeks ago. Was surprised at the WFMU connection
	12:45pm prof.fuzz: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:43 i'd have been even more pissed if they had confirmed my bill and then bumped it two weeks prior to the date because another line up "won the challenge." this is booking professional traveling guitar-owners, not some reality game show...
	12:46pm drr: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:43 when you put it like that it sounds like a great piece of marketing.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:45 i missed that, but TCM has been great since all the xmas movies.
	12:46pm Michael Shelley: www.nationaldaycalendar.com...
	12:47pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Tighter And Tighter" by "Jay Mitchell" You’re a little too on fire, Baby. Head explode.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:46 DRR is ALL in!!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Tighter And Tighter" by "Jay Mitchell" purdie??
	12:47pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Tighter And Tighter" by "Jay Mitchell" G. G. Y.
	12:47pm clarke: way too busy.
	12:48pm zak: Happy National DJ day Michael!
	12:48pm Greg from ZONE 5: It's also National Good Day Day! (Which I'm sure Marty will be celebrating later today) tinyurl.com...
	12:49pm prof.fuzz: in contrast, Siberia was fantastic! they took on a bunch of shows left without a venue when Gasa Gasa closed, treated us very nicely, and we all had a good time.
	12:49pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Tighter And Tighter" by "Jay Mitchell" When I listen to this song, and I often do. It’s at least 10 times in a row.
	12:49pm clarke: there are a plethora of good series, tho. actually, too many to name. seems like the strikes did not affect production all that much (unless that is coming?).
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:49 Lots of shows were canceled during the strikes.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:49 and, also, i have to say Siberia has turned into a nice club, there.
	12:50pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:45 Mom's 92 these days!
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:50 well you can't tell that from what's coming out now!!

	12:58pm Dano59: So if someone loved 'Jumpin' Jive' but doesn't want to see Joe do only half a show of his own music. and the other half a tribute to an obscure music hall artist this summer, is he a philistine?
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: I hope Amy has the cat by now.
