	3:30pm Matt from Springfield: "Scoff quotes" What's the minimum wage per minute of speaking? Is it a prevailing rate, or living wage?
	3:32pm spodiodi: sick <3
	3:32pm Matt from Springfield: Supposit all recommended pharmaceuticals, whether they recommend suppositing it or not.
	3:34pm Matt from Springfield: "877-CASH-NOW" - that was a big one a couple years ago on digital subchannels and PlutoTV commercial breaks.

	3:35pm RevWaldo: 💥UNIFIED!!!
	👻 3:35pm egould: Priapis XL
	3:35pm spodiodi: wart paste. nice
	3:36pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Monetizing Your Misery" by "Gus Bodenheim" Nicotine right? The word is nicotine 😂
	👻 3:36pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:32 Supposit: Now a verb!
	3:36pm God: Nostrilla
	3:36pm Matt from Springfield: Arguably redundant 😄
	👻 3:36pm egould: I want to start taking that drug where your taint falls off.
	3:37pm Brendan: Damnitol
	👻 3:37pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Playing this out loud at work (in the pharmacy) and 2 coworkers came over to figure out what Gus was talking about
	3:38pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Gregosaurus @3:36 The narrow-minded spellcheck doesn't agree yet - but it soon WILL!! "Supposit" is a verb now!
	3:39pm Carmichael: Saon Stewart last night. Pretty talented guitarist.
	3:40pm swivs: It's all digital these days, but as I sit here at my desk, writing a "script" for non-actors in a "heartfelt" social media post about fabric softener, listening to Gus, I imagine myself furiously tearing pages from a typewriter, crumpling and tossing em over my shoulder, cursing the whole mess, burning that eternal cigarette... etc. Anyways, thanks Irwin.
	3:40pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Beautiful Flyaway" by "Alice Cooper" Alice goes Rutles, it sounds like?! Like this side of him!
	3:41pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @3:39 Well, I'll try again. I saw Gary Clark Jr. on Jon Stewart last night. Pretty talented guitarist.
	3:41pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Beautiful Flyaway" by "Alice Cooper" Never made the Sparks/Alice Cooper connection before.
	3:41pm Carmichael: ↳ Fredericks @3:41 Beat me to it!
	3:42pm Fredericks: ↳ Carmichael @3:41 Not by much.
	👻 3:42pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:38 Gus has so decreed it.
	👻 3:44pm DjLorraine: ↳ Carmichael @3:41 I remember the first time I saw Gary Clark Jr
	3:45pm Adi From Sheffield: Good evening all.
	👻 3:45pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Gregosaurus @3:42 Those pencil-necked geeks at Merriam-Webster won't dare stand up to Gus.
	3:46pm love2laf: ↳ Carmichael @3:41 If you can find a way to watch it, Gary Clark Jr. was on Austin City Limits and it was glorious. Hello Irwin, fellow Irwineers!
	👻 3:48pm estebangrande: damnitol i fell asleep for Gus!!
	3:48pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Song: "Para O Sol" by "Misha Panfilov Sound Combo" Heyyy doctor Robert
	3:51pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Alone with Girls" by "Speedy Ortiz" I'm honestly ashamed of how long it took me to realize that "Speedy Ortiz" is a Love & Rockets reference and not a Red Sox reference.
	3:53pm Irwin: ↳ The Oscar @3:51 I don't think anyone ever referred to the Bosox's Ortiz as "speedy."
	👻 3:53pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ The Oscar @3:51 I thought it was a Looney Tunes reference!
	3:58pm The Oscar: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @3:53 I assume that's what Los Hermanos Hernandez had in mind when they named the character, so I suppose it is!
	4:00pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Hands Off" by "Esbjörn Svensson Trio" Still so glad I grabbed the chance to see them at the NAC in Ottawa. It was such a beautiful and immersive experience. We went with my sister and she was amazed.
	4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm sorry ! ...I was just ...thinking about KATZ AGAIN...
	👻 4:03pm tadpoles: ↳ Fredericks @3:41 2 years before Alice Cooper's song...Sparks released "(No More) Mr. Nice Guys". ...a great song for 1971
	4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also, I like the Jazzes.
	4:05pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): hellooooo
	4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Beautiful Flyaway" by "Alice Cooper" Yeah - interesting even the band thot the Producer didn't get them. & everybody worth considering (frankly) loves the Album... Tho the big Hit Albums are great too...
	4:10pm Beetlemuse: My favorite Alice Cooper song is Man Behind The Mask
	4:10pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Gorée" by "Beaver Harris - Don Pullen 360° Experi... Is this Beaver Harris album that starts out with Dixieland and finishes with free jazz?
	4:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:09 Maybe not what they first imagined - but definitely turned out to be a (different) great album for the ages. Also, hiya!
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'We were a combination of the yARdbiRdS & West Side Story.' - Alice ... ?! ...
	4:11pm Fredericks: ↳ tadpoles @4:03 Well, well, well.
	4:12pm Blissland: Briggs's work was not universally acclaimed. Neal Smith of the Alice Cooper group later said "David (Briggs) hated our music and us. I recall the term that he used, referring to our music, was 'psychedelic shit'." I think Easy Action sounded too dry, more like a TV or radio commercial, and he did not help with song arrangement or positive input in any way."[6]
	4:14pm Fredericks: ↳ Fredericks @4:10 Not Dixieland; Ragtime.
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:12 Maybe get that re the Mix. Otherwise - probly real hard to separate the subjective experience from the objective end result. See XTC & Rundgren ...or (conversely) Harrison saying he sees 'RubberSoul' & 'Revolver' as the same cause he enjoyed them...
	4:18pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:15 I'm familiar of course with the acrimony between Todd and Andy Partridge. And to my ears Skylarking is the best work that Todd has done as a producer for hire. But I wonder why most of these people put up with each other. I mean, if the parties mutually hate one another then why not void the contract
	4:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:15 Objectively not the same at all - yet George evidently felt the same vibe while making both of them. Revolver is certainly an evolution from Rubber Soul, without which the '66 album would have sounded quite different.
	4:18pm Irwin: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:15 XTC & Rundgren - Andy Partridge & Todd fought endlessly. Andy said, "It was two Hitlers and one bunker."
	4:19pm Blissland: ↳ Irwin @4:18 heh ... but no suicides
	4:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Blissland @4:18 That's why they set up contracts, for stability. Voiding them is mostly more trouble than it's worth.
	4:20pm Irwin: You have to give Hitler credit for one thing -- he killed Hitler.
	4:20pm Blissland: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:19 I don't know, if it was my baby I would go to the trouble of finding someone agreeable
	4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Producer' of course being a broad & vague term - the person essentially responsible for Producing an end Product to the Business creeps - or whomever. So can range from Business concerns (which should be Management or the Label Support ...or - simply saying - this is Okay, proceed & I won't interfere) - to creating the right creative atmosphere (like so to speak a theater director - using even negative psychology for motivation - or the reverse) ...to more of an Arranger (like Martin scoring for Beatles) - to overlap with the Engineer just getting the Sound Recorded. Or any possible combination of these.
	4:20pm Blissland: ↳ Irwin @4:20 He got something right
	👻 4:20pm tadpoles: ↳ Fredericks @4:11 Another weird connection....Alice Cooper were originally called The Nazz but of course that was Todd Rundgren's band so they changed it. Todd produced the first 2 Spark's records.
	4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @4:20 Oh ...that's good. Follow your Leader, kids...
	4:21pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:20 Yes you're right. Todd does a little of everything
	4:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rundgren (Producing the Dolls): Okay - now time to work on Harmonies ! David Johansen : Harmonies ? Are youse accusin' me of having Melodies ??...
	4:23pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @4:20 I believe that was a Mel Brooks quote?
	4:23pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:23 hehe
	4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & of course - a main thing about Producers is somebody who can both be objective about what the Band ~ Artists is doing - & yet work with them. That's I suppose a main thing to rate them on...
	4:25pm Blissland: Monetizing Your Misery sounds like a great idea. I will have to go back to the Archives for that
	4:27pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:25 Somebody has to do it, and they should ideally have thick skin to deal with insecure personalities
	👻 4:27pm egould: ↳ Song: "Bullitt (Main Title)" by "Lalo Schifrin" Makes me wanna put on a turtleneck and a blazer. Go drive a Mustang like a complete maniac through San Francisco.
	4:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bullitt (Main Title)" by "Lalo Schifrin" "Bullitt" - perhaps the first, prototypical "action" movie as we think of them.
	4:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard an interview with Bob Ezrin he said he actually tied Peter Gabriel up in the air to a post to get a certain vocal. That's ...some interesting set of skills...
	4:28pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:27 "Why all these car chases through THIS city??! With the craziest streets in America?! And now I hear they want to do a SHOW about chasing through these streets as well?!!"
	4:31pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:28 It's fun when studios become laboratories.
	👻 4:33pm egould: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:28 Although thrilling, the car chase in Bullitt makes no sense. Especially when the bad guys crash into the gas station and explode. USE YOUR BRAKES!!!!
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:31 George Martin's analogy of Painting with Sound - given exposition in the 'Soundbreaking' series - seems on point to me. If you think about it - isn't odd how big a deal that's become for us - aside from Recording just being capturing a Live Performance.
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I would say Explosions in Movies are gratuitous & stupid. Except I love Godzilla so it'd be gratuitous & stupid.
	👻 4:38pm egould: ↳ egould @4:33 Oops! Sorry I forgot. It’s just a movie, I should really just relax.
	4:39pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:33 Of course that's all due to the advent of multitrack tape recording. To allow a new and unique way of creating music
	4:40pm Blissland: I imagine for centuries before then, many people wished they had some way of doing that.
	4:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Sun & Moon" by "Balthvs" Another Balthvsian ode!!
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:39 Probly the most significant thing. But any number of things - from Compression & EQ to - anything... In fact the Nazis first developed Recording Tape. Then Bing Crosby invested after the War to aid in program transcription ...before that Fred Flintstone stuck a bird's beak into rocks...
	👻 4:45pm 12539: (Irwin!)
	4:46pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "My Winter Coat" by "The Roches" Welcome to Rorch!
	4:48pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:42 The point I was making is, whereas you can capture live performances with any recording apparatus, multitrack and overdubbing present a whole different set of unique possibilities.
	4:49pm Blissland: It's the only way, for instance, to do several takes of a vocal over basic tracks, or for a musician to play several instruments in a single piece
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:48 Completely. But the more I learn about even just what TheBeatles & their Engineers did - there's a lot more. Getting three different piano tones recorded for PennyLane for instance...
	👻 4:51pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "My Winter Coat" by "The Roches" I remember seeing them do this song live at The Bottom Line. One of the sisters had the coat this song was written about, which she proudly showed to the audience. I can't quite recall which sister it was. The silent one, maybe? "Silent" meaning she rarely spoke to the audience between songs, while the other two were very chatty.
	4:52pm Blissland: Well of course, there's bouncing, which unfortunately I had to do for several years until the fostex x-15 came out. The drawback with that of course is that it's set in stone as it were once it's done. But ironically enough ai digital audio separation is now allowing that to be undone
	4:52pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:50 Yes and of course George Martin did a lot of bouncing too
	4:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Dan S @4:51 The Famous Winter Coat! Still with them hopefully, and not stolen from an attic like another famous raincoat..
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:52 www.facebook.com...
	4:56pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "My Winter Coat" by "The Roches" One '90s childhood memory which I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine is there was an entire episode of Tiny Toons (I think?) centered around the Roches, who appeared as anthropomorphic cockroaches. I don't remember if any of the actual characters from the show even appeared in it. It was pretty confusing as a kid!
	👻 4:57pm Dan S: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:53 Well, that live show was a long time ago. Probably 30 years or more.
	4:57pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:53 is that the same famous blue raincoat that was torn at the shoulder?
	4:58pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:55 heh ... dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a drummer
	4:59pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Fade Into You" by "Izzie Owens & the O'Keefe Musi... Singer is 12.
	👻 5:00pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @4:59 You find the greatest things.
	👻 5:00pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Irwin @4:59 amazing! what a great version.
	5:00pm emilie s: ↳ Song: "Fade Into You" by "Izzie Owens & the O'Keefe Musi... Ballsy to cover Fade Into You. How does one improve on the original? Or have any hope of matching Hope Sandoval's vocals? But this version is pretty nice.
	5:00pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:00 Live video. Love the kid listlessly playing tambourine. But he nails the part.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well dayum. Gonna say very faithful. Tremendous.
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...probly as tall as Hope awlready tho...
	5:01pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @4:57 The very one! A noble coat, kept in "Marianne's" attic, but apparently stolen from there in the '70s.
	5:03pm love2laf: ↳ Irwin @4:59 Yowsers, that was awesome!
	5:03pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... Imagining a world where Stanley Kubrick commissioned a "Lolita Ya-Ya" style theme for all of his movies.
	5:03pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... Swingin'!
	👻 5:03pm egould: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... Nice.
	👻 5:04pm estebangrande: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... oh come on, this just got even better
	👻 5:04pm egould: ↳ The Oscar @5:03 I’d like to live in that timeline.
	👻 5:05pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... Swingin' into transcendence.
	5:05pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ The Oscar @4:56 Wow, if I saw that, it obviously went completely over my head! But a cute touch from Spielberg & Co. "The Roches are an all-cockroach girl band who appeared in the "New Character Day" episode segment "The Roches". Members Maggie Roche: The oldest and leader of the Roches sisters, she has brown hair, brown eyes, and wears a light purple dress and light purple shoes. Terre Roche: The middle of the Roches sisters, she has blonde hair, blue-green eyes, and wears a long-sleeved blue shirt with a white V collar, a light green skirt and blue shoes. Suzzy Roche: The youngest of the Roches sisters, she has black hair with a pink bow tied to it, and wears a pink shirt with a open white jacket, black shorts and pink shoes. Trivia The Roches are based on the live-action all girl/sister band, The Roches, Even their names and appearance are based on them The Real Roches sisters did the voice of their bug counterparts. The Roches mentioned that they knew The Beatles when they lived in Liverpool. It's implied that The Beatles were actual beetles in the short." tinytoons.fandom.com...
	5:06pm mbe: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... yeah ... this is a really nice track ...
	5:07pm steveo: Ray Conniff for President!
	5:08pm steveo: ↳ steveo @5:07 Ah heck, he died in 2002
	👻 5:08pm Gregosaurus: ↳ steveo @5:08 Ok, how about Frank Conniff, then?
	👻 5:08pm estebangrande: ↳ steveo @5:08 prop him up, who will know the difference?
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ steveo @5:08 ...still better than some options...
	5:09pm Carmichael: My parents had some Ray Conniff LPs.
	5:09pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ steveo @5:08 Doesn't need to stop him. After all, Hugo Chavez has led insurrectionist mobs here, over 6 years after dying...
	5:10pm BOB: I felt 50 years younger, for a moment...
	5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Nixon always came back from political death...
	5:10pm Carmichael: Thanks for playing an iteration of the Spooky Tooth diaspora, Irwin.
	5:12pm Irwin: ↳ Carmichael @5:10 This is such a glorious album. He never made another one worth remembering.
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in fact, I'd say it's about time for the USA's first out of the closet FrankenPresident ...you wouldn't even need a VP for Life Insurance...
	5:14pm dale: ↳ Song: "Pain" by "Mike Harrison" this reminds me a bit of jackie lomax. really good.
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dale @5:14 There you go.
	👻 5:17pm egould: Thanks Irwin. Fabulous song selection.
	👻 5:17pm estebangrande: this description is killing me
	5:17pm Erica from Cranford: Taking notes
	5:19pm Glistener MW: Everyone misses Spooky Tooth, yet nobody but me ever seems to miss Spookey Ruben. ;_;
	👻 5:19pm Gregosaurus: I still dig The Mirror. Unashamedly.
	👻 5:19pm tadpoles: ↳ Irwin @5:12 Thanks for Mike Harrison Irwin. Drummer Mike Kellie went on to be a great part of The Only Ones.
	5:19pm The Oscar: I know I've said this here before, but the Canadian sketch comedy troupe Radio Free Vestibule did a great bit about a guy who only listens to bands with silly names, specifically Spookytooth, Mott the Hoople, and Belle Epoch. The skit ends with his friend tricking him into listening to "Hey Jude" by telling him the band is named Googlegax.
	5:20pm dale: what's up with all the roches here lately? can't we hear the macgarrigal's instead?
	5:22pm WoodsOfMaine: Wasn't Gary Wright in Spooky Tooth or am I making that up?
	👻 5:23pm Gregosaurus: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @5:22 Indeed he was
	5:23pm Irwin: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @5:22 Founding member, main songwriter. Left before The Last Puff, later returned for a new incarnation of the band.
	5:24pm Frank Talk About Humans: One of my fave CT tunes
	5:25pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @5:23 Spooky Two is Wright's shining moment.
	5:25pm James in ATL: ↳ Song: "Taxman, Mr. Thief" by "Cheap Trick" Practicing fot Tricktober!
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ The Oscar @5:19 ?! : en.wikipedia.org...
	5:25pm Hollywood Bill: Trick On!!!
	5:25pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Taxman, Mr. Thief" by "Cheap Trick" Ah, more from the "All Killer, No Filler" era.
	5:25pm Matt en Queens: This is the best cheap trick song (from their best album) for my money
	5:26pm Irwin: Beatles + The Move = Taxman, Mr. Thief.
	5:26pm dale: irwin, have you played any of robin zander's countryside blvd here?
	5:27pm Irwin: ↳ dale @5:26 No. Recommended?
	5:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Taxman, Mr. Thief" by "Cheap Trick" Ha ha, Mr. Thief!
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'I'd be happy to pay more tax if it didn't go to things like war.' - Harrison
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Taxman, Mr. Thief" by "Cheap Trick" How to even reference TheBeatles explicitly without sounding like copyists.
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...(mere) copyists...
	5:30pm Carmichael: The pop up menu shows a Barbra Streisand LP with the Rocket credits.
	5:31pm Irwin: ↳ Carmichael @5:30 Fuckin' algorithms.
	5:32pm dale: i enjoyed it, it was never released, but leaked out. anything that is a hard copy is a bootleg, but it's on youtube.
	5:32pm dale: the countryside blvd, that is....
	5:32pm ?: ↳ Irwin @5:23 I saw him (Mike Harrison) on that tour in 1974. "You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw LP. Nice Klaus Voormann LP artwork. The Six Degrees of Frampton was in full force. They (Spooky) along with Montrose opened for Frampton's Camel at the old Academy of Music,NYC. 14th & 3rd. Another "connection" check out the riff on "Sunshine Help Me" on Spooky's first..similar to everyone's fave..Do You Feel...
	5:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Get Up & Look at the Sun" by "The Bad Ideas Choir" A song for next Monday?
	5:35pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "True Love’s Only Name" by "Blues Lawyer" "Sight Gags on the Radio" - Seven Second Delay excels at this.
	5:40pm HyperDose: Gus' temperament perfectly matches the expression of the cat on the playlist
	5:41pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Gus, the Disgruntled Functionary with a Gripe" by... Does Gus play the piano too?
	5:41pm Blissland: There's a place for Gus
	5:41pm Fredericks: ↳ dale @5:20 Why instead?
	5:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Fredericks @5:41 It's one of those deals where you see him sitting and singing at the piano, yet you never see his hands playing..
	👻 5:41pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): That was quite a Gus.
	5:42pm Frank Talk About Humans: This is what the Postal Service sounded like to me
	5:42pm Fredericks: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:41 I see.
	5:42pm Laura L: ↳ Song: "Gus, the Disgruntled Functionary with a Gripe" by... I hope Euneeda's still having a good time on that bumpy road with CourtneyT. Do let us know, won't you, if you hear from them sometime, Irwin?
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ @5:32 Klaus Voormann ! :D : 2.bp.blogspot.com...
	5:43pm Irwin: I only hear from Courtney when he can find a phone booth. They're scarce these days. Also only if he has a pocketful of dimes.

	3:30pm Matt from Springfield: "Scoff quotes" What's the minimum wage per minute of speaking? Is it a prevailing rate, or living wage?
	3:32pm spodiodi: sick <3
	3:32pm Matt from Springfield: Supposit all recommended pharmaceuticals, whether they recommend suppositing it or not.
	3:34pm Matt from Springfield: "877-CASH-NOW" - that was a big one a couple years ago on digital subchannels and PlutoTV commercial breaks.
	3:34pm brycepunk1: I love Gus

	👻 3:36pm egould: I want to start taking that drug where your taint falls off.
	3:37pm Brendan: Damnitol
	👻 3:37pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Playing this out loud at work (in the pharmacy) and 2 coworkers came over to figure out what Gus was talking about
	3:38pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Gregosaurus @3:36 The narrow-minded spellcheck doesn't agree yet - but it soon WILL!! "Supposit" is a verb now!
	3:39pm Carmichael: Saon Stewart last night. Pretty talented guitarist.
	3:40pm swivs: It's all digital these days, but as I sit here at my desk, writing a "script" for non-actors in a "heartfelt" social media post about fabric softener, listening to Gus, I imagine myself furiously tearing pages from a typewriter, crumpling and tossing em over my shoulder, cursing the whole mess, burning that eternal cigarette... etc. Anyways, thanks Irwin.
	3:40pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Beautiful Flyaway" by "Alice Cooper" Alice goes Rutles, it sounds like?! Like this side of him!
	3:41pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @3:39 Well, I'll try again. I saw Gary Clark Jr. on Jon Stewart last night. Pretty talented guitarist.
	3:41pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Beautiful Flyaway" by "Alice Cooper" Never made the Sparks/Alice Cooper connection before.
	3:41pm Carmichael: ↳ Fredericks @3:41 Beat me to it!

	3:46pm love2laf: ↳ Carmichael @3:41 If you can find a way to watch it, Gary Clark Jr. was on Austin City Limits and it was glorious. Hello Irwin, fellow Irwineers!
	👻 3:48pm estebangrande: damnitol i fell asleep for Gus!!
	3:48pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Song: "Para O Sol" by "Misha Panfilov Sound Combo" Heyyy doctor Robert
	3:51pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Alone with Girls" by "Speedy Ortiz" I'm honestly ashamed of how long it took me to realize that "Speedy Ortiz" is a Love & Rockets reference and not a Red Sox reference.
	3:53pm Irwin: ↳ The Oscar @3:51 I don't think anyone ever referred to the Bosox's Ortiz as "speedy."
	👻 3:53pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ The Oscar @3:51 I thought it was a Looney Tunes reference!
	3:58pm The Oscar: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @3:53 I assume that's what Los Hermanos Hernandez had in mind when they named the character, so I suppose it is!
	4:00pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Hands Off" by "Esbjörn Svensson Trio" Still so glad I grabbed the chance to see them at the NAC in Ottawa. It was such a beautiful and immersive experience. We went with my sister and she was amazed.
	4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm sorry ! ...I was just ...thinking about KATZ AGAIN...
	👻 4:03pm tadpoles: ↳ Fredericks @3:41 2 years before Alice Cooper's song...Sparks released "(No More) Mr. Nice Guys". ...a great song for 1971
	4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also, I like the Jazzes.
	4:05pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): hellooooo
	4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Beautiful Flyaway" by "Alice Cooper" Yeah - interesting even the band thot the Producer didn't get them. & everybody worth considering (frankly) loves the Album... Tho the big Hit Albums are great too...
	4:10pm Beetlemuse: My favorite Alice Cooper song is Man Behind The Mask
	4:10pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Gorée" by "Beaver Harris - Don Pullen 360° Experi... Is this Beaver Harris album that starts out with Dixieland and finishes with free jazz?
	4:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:09 Maybe not what they first imagined - but definitely turned out to be a (different) great album for the ages. Also, hiya!
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'We were a combination of the yARdbiRdS & West Side Story.' - Alice ... ?! ...
	4:11pm Fredericks: ↳ tadpoles @4:03 Well, well, well.
	4:12pm Blissland: Briggs's work was not universally acclaimed. Neal Smith of the Alice Cooper group later said "David (Briggs) hated our music and us. I recall the term that he used, referring to our music, was 'psychedelic shit'." I think Easy Action sounded too dry, more like a TV or radio commercial, and he did not help with song arrangement or positive input in any way."[6]
	4:14pm Fredericks: ↳ Fredericks @4:10 Not Dixieland; Ragtime.
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:12 Maybe get that re the Mix. Otherwise - probly real hard to separate the subjective experience from the objective end result. See XTC & Rundgren ...or (conversely) Harrison saying he sees 'RubberSoul' & 'Revolver' as the same cause he enjoyed them...
	4:18pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:15 I'm familiar of course with the acrimony between Todd and Andy Partridge. And to my ears Skylarking is the best work that Todd has done as a producer for hire. But I wonder why most of these people put up with each other. I mean, if the parties mutually hate one another then why not void the contract
	4:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:15 Objectively not the same at all - yet George evidently felt the same vibe while making both of them. Revolver is certainly an evolution from Rubber Soul, without which the '66 album would have sounded quite different.
	4:18pm Irwin: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:15 XTC & Rundgren - Andy Partridge & Todd fought endlessly. Andy said, "It was two Hitlers and one bunker."
	4:19pm Blissland: ↳ Irwin @4:18 heh ... but no suicides
	4:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Blissland @4:18 That's why they set up contracts, for stability. Voiding them is mostly more trouble than it's worth.
	4:20pm Irwin: You have to give Hitler credit for one thing -- he killed Hitler.
	4:20pm Blissland: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:19 I don't know, if it was my baby I would go to the trouble of finding someone agreeable
	4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Producer' of course being a broad & vague term - the person essentially responsible for Producing an end Product to the Business creeps - or whomever. So can range from Business concerns (which should be Management or the Label Support ...or - simply saying - this is Okay, proceed & I won't interfere) - to creating the right creative atmosphere (like so to speak a theater director - using even negative psychology for motivation - or the reverse) ...to more of an Arranger (like Martin scoring for Beatles) - to overlap with the Engineer just getting the Sound Recorded. Or any possible combination of these.
	4:20pm Blissland: ↳ Irwin @4:20 He got something right
	👻 4:20pm tadpoles: ↳ Fredericks @4:11 Another weird connection....Alice Cooper were originally called The Nazz but of course that was Todd Rundgren's band so they changed it. Todd produced the first 2 Spark's records.
	4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @4:20 Oh ...that's good. Follow your Leader, kids...
	4:21pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:20 Yes you're right. Todd does a little of everything
	4:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rundgren (Producing the Dolls): Okay - now time to work on Harmonies ! David Johansen : Harmonies ? Are youse accusin' me of having Melodies ??...
	4:23pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @4:20 I believe that was a Mel Brooks quote?
	4:23pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:23 hehe
	4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & of course - a main thing about Producers is somebody who can both be objective about what the Band ~ Artists is doing - & yet work with them. That's I suppose a main thing to rate them on...
	4:25pm Blissland: Monetizing Your Misery sounds like a great idea. I will have to go back to the Archives for that
	4:27pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:25 Somebody has to do it, and they should ideally have thick skin to deal with insecure personalities
	👻 4:27pm egould: ↳ Song: "Bullitt (Main Title)" by "Lalo Schifrin" Makes me wanna put on a turtleneck and a blazer. Go drive a Mustang like a complete maniac through San Francisco.
	4:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bullitt (Main Title)" by "Lalo Schifrin" "Bullitt" - perhaps the first, prototypical "action" movie as we think of them.
	4:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard an interview with Bob Ezrin he said he actually tied Peter Gabriel up in the air to a post to get a certain vocal. That's ...some interesting set of skills...
	4:28pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:27 "Why all these car chases through THIS city??! With the craziest streets in America?! And now I hear they want to do a SHOW about chasing through these streets as well?!!"
	4:31pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:28 It's fun when studios become laboratories.
	👻 4:33pm egould: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:28 Although thrilling, the car chase in Bullitt makes no sense. Especially when the bad guys crash into the gas station and explode. USE YOUR BRAKES!!!!
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:31 George Martin's analogy of Painting with Sound - given exposition in the 'Soundbreaking' series - seems on point to me. If you think about it - isn't odd how big a deal that's become for us - aside from Recording just being capturing a Live Performance.
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I would say Explosions in Movies are gratuitous & stupid. Except I love Godzilla so it'd be gratuitous & stupid.
	👻 4:38pm egould: ↳ egould @4:33 Oops! Sorry I forgot. It’s just a movie, I should really just relax.
	4:39pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:33 Of course that's all due to the advent of multitrack tape recording. To allow a new and unique way of creating music
	4:40pm Blissland: I imagine for centuries before then, many people wished they had some way of doing that.
	4:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Sun & Moon" by "Balthvs" Another Balthvsian ode!!
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:39 Probly the most significant thing. But any number of things - from Compression & EQ to - anything... In fact the Nazis first developed Recording Tape. Then Bing Crosby invested after the War to aid in program transcription ...before that Fred Flintstone stuck a bird's beak into rocks...
	👻 4:45pm 12539: (Irwin!)
	4:46pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "My Winter Coat" by "The Roches" Welcome to Rorch!
	4:48pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:42 The point I was making is, whereas you can capture live performances with any recording apparatus, multitrack and overdubbing present a whole different set of unique possibilities.
	4:49pm Blissland: It's the only way, for instance, to do several takes of a vocal over basic tracks, or for a musician to play several instruments in a single piece
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:48 Completely. But the more I learn about even just what TheBeatles & their Engineers did - there's a lot more. Getting three different piano tones recorded for PennyLane for instance...
	👻 4:51pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "My Winter Coat" by "The Roches" I remember seeing them do this song live at The Bottom Line. One of the sisters had the coat this song was written about, which she proudly showed to the audience. I can't quite recall which sister it was. The silent one, maybe? "Silent" meaning she rarely spoke to the audience between songs, while the other two were very chatty.
	4:52pm Blissland: Well of course, there's bouncing, which unfortunately I had to do for several years until the fostex x-15 came out. The drawback with that of course is that it's set in stone as it were once it's done. But ironically enough ai digital audio separation is now allowing that to be undone
	4:52pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:50 Yes and of course George Martin did a lot of bouncing too
	4:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Dan S @4:51 The Famous Winter Coat! Still with them hopefully, and not stolen from an attic like another famous raincoat..
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:52 www.facebook.com...
	4:56pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "My Winter Coat" by "The Roches" One '90s childhood memory which I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine is there was an entire episode of Tiny Toons (I think?) centered around the Roches, who appeared as anthropomorphic cockroaches. I don't remember if any of the actual characters from the show even appeared in it. It was pretty confusing as a kid!
	👻 4:57pm Dan S: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:53 Well, that live show was a long time ago. Probably 30 years or more.
	4:57pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:53 is that the same famous blue raincoat that was torn at the shoulder?
	4:58pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:55 heh ... dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a drummer
	4:59pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Fade Into You" by "Izzie Owens & the O'Keefe Musi... Singer is 12.
	👻 5:00pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @4:59 You find the greatest things.
	👻 5:00pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Irwin @4:59 amazing! what a great version.
	5:00pm emilie s: ↳ Song: "Fade Into You" by "Izzie Owens & the O'Keefe Musi... Ballsy to cover Fade Into You. How does one improve on the original? Or have any hope of matching Hope Sandoval's vocals? But this version is pretty nice.
	5:00pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:00 Live video. Love the kid listlessly playing tambourine. But he nails the part.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well dayum. Gonna say very faithful. Tremendous.
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...probly as tall as Hope awlready tho...
	5:01pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @4:57 The very one! A noble coat, kept in "Marianne's" attic, but apparently stolen from there in the '70s.
	5:03pm love2laf: ↳ Irwin @4:59 Yowsers, that was awesome!
	5:03pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... Imagining a world where Stanley Kubrick commissioned a "Lolita Ya-Ya" style theme for all of his movies.
	5:03pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... Swingin'!
	👻 5:03pm egould: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... Nice.
	👻 5:04pm estebangrande: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... oh come on, this just got even better
	👻 5:04pm egould: ↳ The Oscar @5:03 I’d like to live in that timeline.
	👻 5:05pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Bah Bah Conniff Sprach (Zarathustra )" by "Ray Co... Swingin' into transcendence.
	5:05pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ The Oscar @4:56 Wow, if I saw that, it obviously went completely over my head! But a cute touch from Spielberg & Co. "The Roches are an all-cockroach girl band who appeared in the "New Character Day" episode segment "The Roches". Members Maggie Roche: The oldest and leader of the Roches sisters, she has brown hair, brown eyes, and wears a light purple dress and light purple shoes. Terre Roche: The middle of the Roches sisters, she has blonde hair, blue-green eyes, and wears a long-sleeved blue shirt with a white V collar, a light green skirt and blue shoes.
