Listener comments!
	5:00pm ultradamno: Kitten! Fantasticles!
	5:01pm Debbie Davenport: Hello God, Kitten Sparkles and chatroom friends! 💖
	👻 5:01pm Owo Org At John: Hey, fellow Sparklers! Kitten, chatroom friends!Q
	👻 5:02pm Owo Org At John: Hi God!
	5:03pm Cheree July: Heh sparklers!🤘✨️
	👻 5:04pm Owo Org At John: His mental health started failing, and his Doctors thought Can and their music wasn't good for him.
	👻 5:04pm Aitch: letting the cat out of the can
	👻 5:05pm WR: Another Damned Death Dedication! DAMO! YAY!
	👻 5:05pm Owo Org At John: Cans original vocalist^
	5:05pm Cheree July: Who else is exhausted from Valentine's Day? I sure am!🥵
	👻 5:05pm Owo Org At John: Kitten, you do have this stuff on CD
	5:06pm Cheree July: Also, John, who in Can's mental health was failing?😓
	👻 5:06pm Owo Org At John: I ripped Cans first five albums for you.
	👻 5:07pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Cheree July @5:06 Their original vocalist, the black guy Kitten mentioned at the top of the show.
	5:07pm ultradamno: I was thinking about Mud's Tiger Feet and how other band members didn't know what it meant, is it possible he saw some kids reading Tiger Beat and wrote it as "I really love my Tiger Beat" and, once realizing he had a hit with it, thought "I'm not going to just write a free commercial jingle for this magazine, what am I? Dr Hook?" and came up with Tiger Feet rhyming slang style?
	5:08pm Cheree July: Oh damn.😳
	5:08pm ultradamno: Mooney is in poor health? I know he was playing out not long ago with Steve Shelley
	👻 5:09pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Cheree July @5:06 Malcum Mooney.
	5:09pm ultradamno: Oh, mental health, yeah he quit on advice from his therapist
	👻 5:10pm Owo Org At John: ↳ ultradamno @5:08 He left Can because of his mental health, at the time.
	5:11pm ultradamno: I found the music too negative and, I guess, agitating. I prefer his voice, actually.
	👻 5:11pm Owo Org At John: I think Damo was a better vocalist for Can, though.
	👻 5:12pm Owo Org At John: Didn't their guitarist become lead vocalist later, Kitten?
	5:12pm ultradamno: I don't, pretty definitively. Mooney came around in the end, him with Suzuki i.pinimg.com...
	👻 5:13pm Owo Org At John: ↳ ultradamno @5:12 They're both singing individual tracks, on the second album.
	👻 5:15pm Owo Org At John: I am eternally in your debt, Kitten/Don, for turning me on to Can, in the first place, 1972!
	5:15pm Mr Fab: Hey gang! Sucks about Damo, but great to hear these classics. Damo should have countered The Fall and sang “I am! Mark E. Smith!”
	👻 5:15pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Future Days" by "Can" I just mixed with this track!
	5:16pm ultradamno: Yeah, some leftover tracks mixed in with newer Damo stuff. Soundtracks is a good album.
	👻 5:17pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Future Days" by "Can" I mixed this into "Giggy Smile" by Faust, recently,. on a set!
	5:18pm ultradamno: This, Future Days, was actually the first Can album I bought as a young punk. Put me off them for awhile, if I had started with Monster Movie or Tago Mago I might have found it later and appreciated it more.
	5:19pm Cheree July: I always loved their drummer Jaki's style of drumming! HUGE influence on me
	👻 5:19pm Owo Org At John: By the way, the Single "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie, was released 50 years ago, today!
	5:20pm Cheree July: OMG John.😮
	👻 5:20pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Cheree July @5:19 Fabulous percussionist!
	👻 5:21pm Owo Org At John: It's also cool that most of them studied under Stockhausen!
	👻 5:22pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Future Days" by "Can" Love the guitar on this track!
	5:23pm ultradamno: I like the halos and wings...Damo would not like some of the satanist stuff that creeps in around here, I tell you...
	5:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Turtles Have Short Legs" by "Can" Avant-bubblegum
	5:24pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ ultradamno @5:07 Maybe they were asked about it in an old interview. I've always been curious about the tiger emphasis in the glam scene. But I stopped looking into it. Got nowhere! Other than the thought that sometimes it could be about tiger beat. I think in general it's just a trendy cool kid thing.
	👻 5:24pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Turtles Have Short Legs" by "Can" Love this one!!!
	5:24pm Cheree July: This sounds like a Schoolhouse Rock or Sesame Street type song!😄
	👻 5:26pm Owo Org At John: I bought their Singles Collection, released just a couple years ago! Has every A and B side on it!
	👻 5:26pm Aitch: ↳ Debbie Davenport @5:24 i'll show you my paws
	5:26pm ultradamno: Not as pop as their hula number
	5:27pm Cheree July: Oh, here's Can's hit single, as Kitten would call it😆👍
	👻 5:27pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Vitamin C" by "Can" This is the first record of their's I heard through Mr. Bolles!
	5:27pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Aitch @5:26 CAN you solve the tiger mystery?
	5:28pm ultradamno: ↳ Aitch @5:26 That dude knew how to dress...pity he didn't do a record with Eartha Kitt
	👻 5:28pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @5:27 Good one, D.D.!
	👻 5:29pm Aitch: ↳ Cheree July @5:27 Vit C used in an episode of Euphoria to great effect which has turned the young'uns onto CAN
	👻 5:29pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Aitch @5:29 Coolness!
	5:30pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @5:28 I typo-d it on accident. then decided to capitalize the N to be punny.
	5:30pm ultradamno: ↳ Aitch @5:29 It popped up in a few TV shows awhile back...Preacher was one, that show also had Teenage Jesus & The Jerks My Eyes on it once.
	👻 5:30pm Aitch: ↳ Debbie Davenport @5:27 Only Tasmanian Tigers down here, but apparently extinct.
	5:31pm ultradamno: ...or not www.livescience.com...
	👻 5:31pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Aitch @5:30 Aren't they trying to revive them too, via their DNA?
	👻 5:31pm Aitch: ↳ ultradamno @5:30 Peaky Blinders has some very unexpected music, a nice trend
	👻 5:32pm Aitch: ↳ Owo Org At John @5:31 I believe so.
	5:32pm ultradamno: Peaky Blinders anachronistic use of music always bugged me though, to be honest. We're rock and roll old timey gangsters.
	👻 5:33pm Owo Org At John: So far, these are all tracks I've mixed with, over the years.
	👻 5:33pm Aitch: ↳ ultradamno @5:32 just let go, it's fab
	5:33pm ultradamno: ↳ Aitch @5:33 No.
	5:34pm Cheree July: Aitch, Britney Spears did a song that sounded a lot like Can called "Get It" that she recorded for the In The Zone album, but it was never officially released, so that was definetly before Euphoria used Vitamin C on the show.
	5:35pm ultradamno: I remember True Blood had an original song by Iggy and Neko Case...Boot & Rally. I don't think it figured into the ep though, just over credits.
	👻 5:35pm Owo Org At John: What a crazy, strange world we live in!
	5:36pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @5:35 Not Neko, Bethany Cosentino
	5:37pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @5:36 Neko did a thing with Nick Cave for them. A cover of She's Not There.
	5:37pm Cheree July: I actually first heard about Can as a teen in the Y2K era because the meh garage punk revival band Mooney Suzuki, who got their name from the two lead singers of Can.
	5:38pm ultradamno: A Mooney Suzuki sounds like motorcycle for night riding...or for cult members
	5:39pm Cheree July: Kitten's A.A. Allen bumper!😆😂🤣
	5:39pm Cheree July: ultradamno Big LOL!😆😂🤣
	👻 5:39pm Aitch: My kids and their friends use Spotify a lot which continually suggests like things. So play CAN and Neu! will come up etc. While it's shit for payment to artists, it's great for expanding the range of what they're listening to. And there's no secret knowledge anymore, because you can find just about anything.
	👻 5:40pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "One More Night" by "Can" This is Don's favourite album of theirs, I believe.
	5:44pm ultradamno: It's a good choice, though Monster Movie is up there for me.
	5:45pm ultradamno: canofficial.bandcamp.com
	👻 5:45pm Owo Org At John: These are all the original releases, btw.
	5:51pm ultradamno: Which would be the best song for Valentine's? She Brings The Rain?
	👻 5:52pm Aitch: ↳ Owo Org At John @5:45 plenty of snap, crackle and pop on the Ege B, but that just shows it's been played and loved
	👻 5:54pm Owo Org At John: It's Mick Avory's 80th birthday, today.
	👻 5:56pm Owo Org At John: Of the Kinks ^
	👻 5:58pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Spray" by "Can" These are all great selections, Kitten! Having a little "enhancement", and groovin' along...
	6:01pm chresti: Hi Kitten and sparklers!
	6:02pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ chresti @6:01 Hi Chresti!
	👻 6:03pm Owo Org At John: ↳ chresti @6:01 Hi Chresti!
	6:05pm chresti: Hi Debbie! Hi Owo Org At John!
	👻 6:09pm Owo Org At John: CANtastic it is, at that!
	👻 6:10pm Owo Org At John: Wasn't Kenji the last remaining member?
	6:12pm chresti: ↳ Owo Org At John @6:10 2 remaining
	👻 6:13pm Owo Org At John: ↳ chresti @6:12 Thanks!
	👻 6:16pm Owo Org At John: I have some David Sylvian, with Holger Czukay
	6:18pm ultradamno: Jaki played with Phew
	6:30pm ultradamno: www.discogs.com...
	6:34pm Kitten Sparkles: Owo: yes, but my CDs are in total disarray, so all I’ve got rn is these beat to shit records I got when they were new. Oh well. Also, I think Tago Mago might be more of a fave than Future Days, although Ege Bamyasi is pretty much tied for #1 w Tago Mago.
	👻 6:35pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:34 I said Ege Bamyasi, actually
	6:36pm Kitten Sparkles: And hi everyone. It’s been kind of hectic today. Just got back from the desert at 11.
	👻 6:37pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:36 Love the photo spread Dawn posted!
	6:39pm ultradamno: Not to jinx it, but Faust seems to be doing better, longevitywise.
	6:41pm Cheree July: Understandable, Kitten. Valentine's Day in LA is hectic & exhausting.
	👻 6:42pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:34 At least the vinyl of that era was thicker than vinyl pressings later - especially American - were thinner!
	👻 6:42pm Aitch: I've had a reissue of Tago Mayo on (orange) vinyl sitting here for months that I finally opened the seal on last night and then didn't have to time to play. Later, hope it sounds alright, but got to be better than the cassette tape I had of it when first heard
	👻 6:44pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Soup" by "Can" This was used as the theme for a German TV show, wasn't it?
	6:45pm ultradamno: Tago Mayo, to give your sandwiches and extra kick. Available in mushroom, coffee or tea flavors
	6:46pm Cheree July: Which German TV show, John?
	👻 6:48pm Owo Org At John: I'll have to look...
	👻 6:49pm Owo Org At John: I'm sorry, it was Spoon. For Das Messer
	6:50pm Kitten Sparkles: Ima gon let the rest of the songs on this side play. Have at least one of ‘em on a 7”, but haven’t been able to locate it so far today.
	👻 6:50pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:50 Cool!
	6:50pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:50 sounds great
	👻 6:51pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:50 Probably Spoon, speaking of...
	6:53pm chresti: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:50 whatever you CAN do is appreciated!
	👻 6:56pm Owo Org At John: I also have a double CD of other artists doing remixes of CAN.
	👻 6:56pm Owo Org At John: It had every members blessing, except Damo's
	6:57pm tardy valentine 💘: VINYL VINYL VINYL … Baby !!!! - the way i heard em all those years ago ! - still got ALL my precious CAN vinyl - many found in one used Mint condition caché ; obviously a collection purge. (from $3.99 1xLp to $8.99 2xLp). - by the time I got it on turntable, i was in Nirvana Heaven !!!
	6:59pm Cheree July: The name of the show was Das Messer, John?
	👻 7:01pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Cheree July @6:59 Yeah, that was it, a thriller the Ege Bamyasi liner notes said. They made enough money from it to buy new equipment.
	👻 7:04pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Don’t Turn the Light On, Leave Me Alone" by "Can" "Galactic Rock"
	7:06pm Cheree July: Well, at least it sounds like they made good enough money from it👍
	👻 7:07pm Owo Org At John: As I've said before - in 2002, my younger brother went nuts, and smashed my DJ Technics Turn Tables. Having no means of replacing them, I started buying CDs
	7:10pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:07 I remember my concern when me and an ex were splitting up. My biggest fear was that he would throw my records around or thrash them. So I took them to a friends house in the next town over before the official break up. I kept imaging he would do something like your brother did.
	7:11pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:10 Not that I knew you or that story in the 80's. but that was the scenario I imagined could happen.
	👻 7:13pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:10 Thankfully, my vinyl and CDs were already moved out. I was moving in to Section 8 housing, and had no room for the turn tables, mixer, or amp! He was pissed at me, and trashed all of them! All because I wouldn't give him a lousy cigarette!
	7:13pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:13 Wow!
	👻 7:14pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:13 Oh, and kicked in my JBL speakers!
	7:15pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:13 I thought his anger must of come from some strong personal place. Like he disapproved of something about your lifestyle or something. If he gets angry that easy, no one is safe!
	7:17pm Cheree July: What?! Some younger Brother you have John & some ex you had Debbie🫨😵‍💫🤯
	👻 7:17pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:15 He's a bad alcoholic. He had some kind of mental breakdown, and was in the Phoenix jail. My older brother bailed him out, stupidly. He's always been jealous of me - that I was in bands, had a comic strip published, etc.
	7:17pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Cheree July @7:17 Not the same person.
	7:19pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:17 My sister has always been jealous of me too. I don't think most people realize how crazy envy, jealousy all those kinds of things can be with siblings. I haven't seen my sister for 20 years.
	👻 7:20pm Owo Org At John: Don, was the first friend that I had, that Randy, my younger brother, didn't like hanging around with, said we were "too weird". He called Don Gerbil
	7:20pm Debbie Davenport: LIke I've mentioned to Cheree before, I like it when women lift each other up and can relax around each other. Jealousy prevents that kind of comfort.
	7:21pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:20 If he said that about don in my presence I would take him by surprise and throw him to the gound.
	7:21pm ultradamno: It's a green eyed monster for a reason
	7:21pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ ultradamno @7:21 Yes!
	👻 7:21pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:20 He and are both children of alcoholics, and co-dependent. I've fought my whole life against that.
	👻 7:22pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:21 That was the nick-name bestowed upon Jimmy/Don
	7:23pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:22 Did Jimmy like it? Because if he didn't, your brother shouldn't call him that.
	👻 7:23pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:22 He didn't like it when we started hanging out together - I was glad of it!
	7:24pm Cheree July: Good for you, John👏👏👏
	👻 7:24pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:23 Everyone called him that, but me, I think
	👻 7:24pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:23 Jimmy the Gerbil
	7:25pm Debbie Davenport: You know what men hate? When a frumpy old mother bitch beats their ass like they are a bad child. In public. Or throw them to the ground like I want to do to your brother. I got into it with Sickie Wifebeater one time. Unfortunately it was all caught on film.
	👻 7:25pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:25 You go girl!
	7:25pm ultradamno: There should be a band where all the member have names like that Don Gerbil, Tom Hamster, Larry Ferret and Joey Guineapig
	7:26pm ultradamno: Meet The Marmots
	7:26pm Debbie Davenport: Maybe you shouldn't say that in the chatroom. what if that is a nickname Don has been trying to escape? I wouldn't want fresh bullies to catch wind of an old insult.
	👻 7:26pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:26 Would there be here?
	7:26pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ ultradamno @7:25 That works!
	7:27pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:26 I don't know. computers make me paranoid.
	👻 7:27pm Aitch: Lemmewinks
	👻 7:28pm Owo Org At John: Kitten/Don, if I shouldn't mentioned all that past history, I sincerely apologize.
	7:29pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:26 Like I say, I don't know. but if a bad guy wanted to get him, he would be stalked here first.
	7:29pm Debbie Davenport: My ride is here. see ya later weirdos!
	👻 7:29pm Owo Org At John: They used to call me John-O because they all knew I hated it.
	👻 7:42pm Owo Org At John: Again, I'm sorry I brought any of that up, if it offends anyone. I was just trying to explain why I began buying CDs exclusively.
	7:45pm ultradamno: I don't hate CDs, myself. Vinyl is tops for a few reasons, but I can't get worked up over formats.
	👻 7:48pm Owo Org At John: I just haven't had good luck, getting a new turn table. I will eventually. Not the Technics kind, though - can't afford that kind of money now.
	7:48pm Bobobobob Plasticland: our spinoff from Plasticland...the Fabulon Triptometer did a cover of Little Star of Bethlehem on The Padded Lounge
	👻 7:52pm Owo Org At John: What a fabulous tribute this has been, Kitten! For Kenji and CAN both! Thank you!
	7:56pm chresti: I'm good with vinyl just need the components to play records set up..
	7:56pm Kitten Sparkles: Had to cut some of the end of Bel Air to make sure this track would fit.
	👻 7:57pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @7:56 Great segue!
	7:58pm chresti: Thanks for the XLNT show, Kitten!
	7:59pm Derek Westerholm: Such a fantastic way to send off the show, Kitten...
	👻 7:59pm Aitch: Great stuff Don and crew. You've canned the CAN
	7:59pm Derek Westerholm: R.I.P. Damo.
	8:00pm Scott_Oz: Thanks for the cool CAN tunes Kitten. While I've been cooking with a cool can of my own mate./ 🌏🌞🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:05pm Kitten Sparkles: Thank you all for glistening! And sorry about all the skips and surface noise - I’ve had these records since they were released, and have played them all A LOT.

	👻 5:10pm Owo Org At John: ↳ ultradamno @5:08 He left Can because of his mental health, at the time.
	5:11pm ultradamno: I found the music too negative and, I guess, agitating. I prefer his voice, actually.
	👻 5:11pm Owo Org At John: I think Damo was a better vocalist for Can, though.
	👻 5:12pm Owo Org At John: Didn't their guitarist become lead vocalist later, Kitten?
	5:12pm ultradamno: I don't, pretty definitively. Mooney came around in the end, him with Suzuki i.pinimg.com...
	👻 5:13pm Owo Org At John: ↳ ultradamno @5:12 They're both singing individual tracks, on the second album.
	👻 5:15pm Owo Org At John: I am eternally in your debt, Kitten/Don, for turning me on to Can, in the first place, 1972!
	5:15pm Mr Fab: Hey gang! Sucks about Damo, but great to hear these classics. Damo should have countered The Fall and sang “I am! Mark E. Smith!”
	👻 5:15pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Future Days" by "Can" I just mixed with this track!
	5:16pm ultradamno: Yeah, some leftover tracks mixed in with newer Damo stuff. Soundtracks is a good album.
	👻 5:17pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Future Days" by "Can" I mixed this into "Giggy Smile" by Faust, recently,. on a set!
	5:18pm ultradamno: This, Future Days, was actually the first Can album I bought as a young punk. Put me off them for awhile, if I had started with Monster Movie or Tago Mago I might have found it later and appreciated it more.
	5:19pm Cheree July: I always loved their drummer Jaki's style of drumming! HUGE influence on me
	👻 5:19pm Owo Org At John: By the way, the Single "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie, was released 50 years ago, today!
	5:20pm Cheree July: OMG John.😮
	👻 5:20pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Cheree July @5:19 Fabulous percussionist!
	👻 5:21pm Owo Org At John: It's also cool that most of them studied under Stockhausen!
	👻 5:22pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Future Days" by "Can" Love the guitar on this track!
	5:23pm ultradamno: I like the halos and wings...Damo would not like some of the satanist stuff that creeps in around here, I tell you...
	5:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Turtles Have Short Legs" by "Can" Avant-bubblegum
	5:24pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ ultradamno @5:07 Maybe they were asked about it in an old interview. I've always been curious about the tiger emphasis in the glam scene. But I stopped looking into it. Got nowhere! Other than the thought that sometimes it could be about tiger beat. I think in general it's just a trendy cool kid thing.
	👻 5:24pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Turtles Have Short Legs" by "Can" Love this one!!!
	5:24pm Cheree July: This sounds like a Schoolhouse Rock or Sesame Street type song!😄
	👻 5:26pm Owo Org At John: I bought their Singles Collection, released just a couple years ago! Has every A and B side on it!
	👻 5:26pm Aitch: ↳ Debbie Davenport @5:24 i'll show you my paws
	5:26pm ultradamno: Not as pop as their hula number
	5:27pm Cheree July: Oh, here's Can's hit single, as Kitten would call it😆👍
	👻 5:27pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Vitamin C" by "Can" This is the first record of their's I heard through Mr. Bolles!
	5:27pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Aitch @5:26 CAN you solve the tiger mystery?
	5:28pm ultradamno: ↳ Aitch @5:26 That dude knew how to dress...pity he didn't do a record with Eartha Kitt
	👻 5:28pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @5:27 Good one, D.D.!
	👻 5:29pm Aitch: ↳ Cheree July @5:27 Vit C used in an episode of Euphoria to great effect which has turned the young'uns onto CAN
	👻 5:29pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Aitch @5:29 Coolness!
	5:30pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @5:28 I typo-d it on accident. then decided to capitalize the N to be punny.
	5:30pm ultradamno: ↳ Aitch @5:29 It popped up in a few TV shows awhile back...Preacher was one, that show also had Teenage Jesus & The Jerks My Eyes on it once.
	👻 5:30pm Aitch: ↳ Debbie Davenport @5:27 Only Tasmanian Tigers down here, but apparently extinct.
	5:31pm ultradamno: ...or not www.livescience.com...
	👻 5:31pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Aitch @5:30 Aren't they trying to revive them too, via their DNA?
	👻 5:31pm Aitch: ↳ ultradamno @5:30 Peaky Blinders has some very unexpected music, a nice trend
	👻 5:32pm Aitch: ↳ Owo Org At John @5:31 I believe so.
	5:32pm ultradamno: Peaky Blinders anachronistic use of music always bugged me though, to be honest. We're rock and roll old timey gangsters.
	👻 5:33pm Owo Org At John: So far, these are all tracks I've mixed with, over the years.
	👻 5:33pm Aitch: ↳ ultradamno @5:32 just let go, it's fab
	5:33pm ultradamno: ↳ Aitch @5:33 No.
	5:34pm Cheree July: Aitch, Britney Spears did a song that sounded a lot like Can called "Get It" that she recorded for the In The Zone album, but it was never officially released, so that was definetly before Euphoria used Vitamin C on the show.
	5:35pm ultradamno: I remember True Blood had an original song by Iggy and Neko Case...Boot & Rally. I don't think it figured into the ep though, just over credits.
	👻 5:35pm Owo Org At John: What a crazy, strange world we live in!
	5:36pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @5:35 Not Neko, Bethany Cosentino
	5:37pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @5:36 Neko did a thing with Nick Cave for them. A cover of She's Not There.
	5:37pm Cheree July: I actually first heard about Can as a teen in the Y2K era because the meh garage punk revival band Mooney Suzuki, who got their name from the two lead singers of Can.
	5:38pm ultradamno: A Mooney Suzuki sounds like motorcycle for night riding...or for cult members
	5:39pm Cheree July: Kitten's A.A. Allen bumper!😆😂🤣
	5:39pm Cheree July: ultradamno Big LOL!😆😂🤣
	👻 5:39pm Aitch: My kids and their friends use Spotify a lot which continually suggests like things. So play CAN and Neu! will come up etc. While it's shit for payment to artists, it's great for expanding the range of what they're listening to. And there's no secret knowledge anymore, because you can find just about anything.
	👻 5:40pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "One More Night" by "Can" This is Don's favourite album of theirs, I believe.
	5:44pm ultradamno: It's a good choice, though Monster Movie is up there for me.
	5:45pm ultradamno: canofficial.bandcamp.com
	👻 5:45pm Owo Org At John: These are all the original releases, btw.
	5:51pm ultradamno: Which would be the best song for Valentine's? She Brings The Rain?
	👻 5:52pm Aitch: ↳ Owo Org At John @5:45 plenty of snap, crackle and pop on the Ege B, but that just shows it's been played and loved
	👻 5:54pm Owo Org At John: It's Mick Avory's 80th birthday, today.
	👻 5:56pm Owo Org At John: Of the Kinks ^
	👻 5:58pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Spray" by "Can" These are all great selections, Kitten! Having a little "enhancement", and groovin' along...
	6:01pm chresti: Hi Kitten and sparklers!
	6:02pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ chresti @6:01 Hi Chresti!
	👻 6:03pm Owo Org At John: ↳ chresti @6:01 Hi Chresti!
	6:05pm chresti: Hi Debbie! Hi Owo Org At John!
	👻 6:09pm Owo Org At John: CANtastic it is, at that!
	👻 6:10pm Owo Org At John: Wasn't Kenji the last remaining member?
	6:12pm chresti: ↳ Owo Org At John @6:10 2 remaining
	👻 6:13pm Owo Org At John: ↳ chresti @6:12 Thanks!
	👻 6:16pm Owo Org At John: I have some David Sylvian, with Holger Czukay
	6:18pm ultradamno: Jaki played with Phew
	6:30pm ultradamno: www.discogs.com...
	6:34pm Kitten Sparkles: Owo: yes, but my CDs are in total disarray, so all I’ve got rn is these beat to shit records I got when they were new. Oh well. Also, I think Tago Mago might be more of a fave than Future Days, although Ege Bamyasi is pretty much tied for #1 w Tago Mago.
	👻 6:35pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:34 I said Ege Bamyasi, actually
	6:36pm Kitten Sparkles: And hi everyone. It’s been kind of hectic today. Just got back from the desert at 11.
	👻 6:37pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:36 Love the photo spread Dawn posted!
	6:39pm ultradamno: Not to jinx it, but Faust seems to be doing better, longevitywise.
	6:41pm Cheree July: Understandable, Kitten. Valentine's Day in LA is hectic & exhausting.
	👻 6:42pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:34 At least the vinyl of that era was thicker than vinyl pressings later - especially American - were thinner!
	👻 6:42pm Aitch: I've had a reissue of Tago Mayo on (orange) vinyl sitting here for months that I finally opened the seal on last night and then didn't have to time to play. Later, hope it sounds alright, but got to be better than the cassette tape I had of it when first heard
	👻 6:44pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Soup" by "Can" This was used as the theme for a German TV show, wasn't it?
	6:45pm ultradamno: Tago Mayo, to give your sandwiches and extra kick. Available in mushroom, coffee or tea flavors
	6:46pm Cheree July: Which German TV show, John?
	👻 6:48pm Owo Org At John: I'll have to look...
	👻 6:49pm Owo Org At John: I'm sorry, it was Spoon. For Das Messer
	6:50pm Kitten Sparkles: Ima gon let the rest of the songs on this side play. Have at least one of ‘em on a 7”, but haven’t been able to locate it so far today.
	👻 6:50pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:50 Cool!
	6:50pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:50 sounds great
	👻 6:51pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:50 Probably Spoon, speaking of...
	6:53pm chresti: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @6:50 whatever you CAN do is appreciated!
	👻 6:56pm Owo Org At John: I also have a double CD of other artists doing remixes of CAN.
	👻 6:56pm Owo Org At John: It had every members blessing, except Damo's
	6:57pm tardy valentine 💘: VINYL VINYL VINYL … Baby !!!! - the way i heard em all those years ago ! - still got ALL my precious CAN vinyl - many found in one used Mint condition caché ; obviously a collection purge. (from $3.99 1xLp to $8.99 2xLp). - by the time I got it on turntable, i was in Nirvana Heaven !!!
	6:59pm Cheree July: The name of the show was Das Messer, John?
	👻 7:01pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Cheree July @6:59 Yeah, that was it, a thriller the Ege Bamyasi liner notes said. They made enough money from it to buy new equipment.
	👻 7:04pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Song: "Don’t Turn the Light On, Leave Me Alone" by "Can" "Galactic Rock"
	7:06pm Cheree July: Well, at least it sounds like they made good enough money from it👍
	👻 7:07pm Owo Org At John: As I've said before - in 2002, my younger brother went nuts, and smashed my DJ Technics Turn Tables. Having no means of replacing them, I started buying CDs
	7:10pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:07 I remember my concern when me and an ex were splitting up. My biggest fear was that he would throw my records around or thrash them. So I took them to a friends house in the next town over before the official break up. I kept imaging he would do something like your brother did.
	7:11pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:10 Not that I knew you or that story in the 80's. but that was the scenario I imagined could happen.
	👻 7:13pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:10 Thankfully, my vinyl and CDs were already moved out. I was moving in to Section 8 housing, and had no room for the turn tables, mixer, or amp! He was pissed at me, and trashed all of them! All because I wouldn't give him a lousy cigarette!
	7:13pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:13 Wow!
	👻 7:14pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:13 Oh, and kicked in my JBL speakers!
	7:15pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:13 I thought his anger must of come from some strong personal place. Like he disapproved of something about your lifestyle or something. If he gets angry that easy, no one is safe!
	7:17pm Cheree July: What?! Some younger Brother you have John & some ex you had Debbie🫨😵‍💫🤯
	👻 7:17pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:15 He's a bad alcoholic. He had some kind of mental breakdown, and was in the Phoenix jail. My older brother bailed him out, stupidly. He's always been jealous of me - that I was in bands, had a comic strip published, etc.
	7:17pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Cheree July @7:17 Not the same person.
	7:19pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:17 My sister has always been jealous of me too. I don't think most people realize how crazy envy, jealousy all those kinds of things can be with siblings. I haven't seen my sister for 20 years.
	👻 7:20pm Owo Org At John: Don, was the first friend that I had, that Randy, my younger brother, didn't like hanging around with, said we were "too weird". He called Don Gerbil
	7:20pm Debbie Davenport: LIke I've mentioned to Cheree before, I like it when women lift each other up and can relax around each other. Jealousy prevents that kind of comfort.
	7:21pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:20 If he said that about don in my presence I would take him by surprise and throw him to the gound.
	7:21pm ultradamno: It's a green eyed monster for a reason
	7:21pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ ultradamno @7:21 Yes!
	👻 7:21pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:20 He and are both children of alcoholics, and co-dependent. I've fought my whole life against that.
	👻 7:22pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:21 That was the nick-name bestowed upon Jimmy/Don
	7:23pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:22 Did Jimmy like it? Because if he didn't, your brother shouldn't call him that.
	👻 7:23pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:22 He didn't like it when we started hanging out together - I was glad of it!
	7:24pm Cheree July: Good for you, John👏👏👏
	👻 7:24pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:23 Everyone called him that, but me, I think
	👻 7:24pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:23 Jimmy the Gerbil
	7:25pm Debbie Davenport: You know what men hate? When a frumpy old mother bitch beats their ass like they are a bad child. In public. Or throw them to the ground like I want to do to your brother. I got into it with Sickie Wifebeater one time. Unfortunately it was all caught on film.
	👻 7:25pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:25 You go girl!
	7:25pm ultradamno: There should be a band where all the member have names like that Don Gerbil, Tom Hamster, Larry Ferret and Joey Guineapig
	7:26pm ultradamno: Meet The Marmots
	7:26pm Debbie Davenport: Maybe you shouldn't say that in the chatroom. what if that is a nickname Don has been trying to escape? I wouldn't want fresh bullies to catch wind of an old insult.
	👻 7:26pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Debbie Davenport @7:26 Would there be here?
	7:26pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ ultradamno @7:25 That works!
	7:27pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:26 I don't know. computers make me paranoid.
	👻 7:27pm Aitch: Lemmewinks
	👻 7:28pm Owo Org At John: Kitten/Don, if I shouldn't mentioned all that past history, I sincerely apologize.
	7:29pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Owo Org At John @7:26 Like I say, I don't know. but if a bad guy wanted to get him, he would be stalked here first.
	7:29pm Debbie Davenport: My ride is here. see ya later weirdos!
	👻 7:29pm Owo Org At John: They used to call me John-O because they all knew I hated it.
	👻 7:42pm Owo Org At John: Again, I'm sorry I brought any of that up, if it offends anyone. I was just trying to explain why I began buying CDs exclusively.
	7:45pm ultradamno: I don't hate CDs, myself. Vinyl is tops for a few reasons, but I can't get worked up over formats.
	👻 7:48pm Owo Org At John: I just haven't had good luck, getting a new turn table. I will eventually. Not the Technics kind, though - can't afford that kind of money now.
	7:48pm Bobobobob Plasticland: our spinoff from Plasticland...the Fabulon Triptometer did a cover of Little Star of Bethlehem on The Padded Lounge
	👻 7:52pm Owo Org At John: What a fabulous tribute this has been, Kitten! For Kenji and CAN both! Thank you!
	7:56pm chresti: I'm good with vinyl just need the components to play records set up..
	7:56pm Kitten Sparkles: Had to cut some of the end of Bel Air to make sure this track would fit.
	👻 7:57pm Owo Org At John: ↳ Kitten Sparkles @7:56 Great segue!
	7:58pm chresti: Thanks for the XLNT show, Kitten!
	7:59pm Derek Westerholm: Such a fantastic way to send off the show, Kitten...
	👻 7:59pm Aitch: Great stuff Don and crew. You've canned the CAN
	7:59pm Derek Westerholm: R.I.P. Damo.
	8:00pm Scott_Oz: Thanks for the cool CAN tunes Kitten. While I've been cooking with a cool can of my own mate./ 🌏🌞🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:05pm Kitten Sparkles: Thank you all for glistening! And sorry about all the skips and surface noise - I’ve had these records since they were released, and have played them all A LOT.
