	3:55pm herb.nyc: Come on, someone- mention wnyu and wsia.

	3:56pm Blissland: I stopped at wnyu for a while in the early 80s. Then wfdu before wfmu
	3:56pm George Kopp: EJ Korvettes West Orange for me, great rekkid section!
	3:57pm Billybob: I remember that EJ Korvettes. I remember going there with my parents to get the Kink Size album right when it came out. But it wasn't in the racks yet, so I snuck into their back room and actually found it. They caught me as I was grabbing it, but didn't seem to have much of a problem with me doing that. Hell, I was like 9, so not much of a threat.
	3:57pm MarciB: Todd- what a wonderful photo of you and your mom - so much love and good energy emanating from that snapshot. My husband's mom passed 6 months ago and it still feels a little raw.. we're sending our support + condolences. She sounds like a lovely human - and clearly much of that awesome spirit in the photo lives on in you ❤️
	3:58pm Blissland: My family used to go to seaside heights every august for about a week. They rented a cottage
	👻 3:58pm John L: I also got The Slider when I was 12, from the Columbia Record Club, if I remember correctly. I'm sure I didn't know what "I want to ball you" meant.
	👻 3:58pm TonyR: OMG Todd is such a BABY [pinches cheeks].
	4:00pm Blissland: I was already in my late 20s when I discovered Russ Meyer
	4:00pm Blissland: Most of my LPs also came from the record club
	4:01pm listener 126464: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @3:55 For a goody while Sam Goody had a great selection.
	4:01pm Spikey BXL: Am still in a record club, of sorts, atm
	4:02pm Jim from Tranquility: I worked at korvettes record department in west orange from 78 to 80. Great store. They were still pushing disco I pushing punk.
	4:05pm dday: ↳ John L @3:58 I walked the 5 miles each way from Garfield,NJ to Sam Goody in The Garden State Plaza in Paramus to buy my copy of "The Slider" as a 13 year old. The same for Deep Purple's "Who Do We Think We Are." Brought both home & blasted them on my parents "stereo" system. Neither batted an eye. They were cool with me & my music.
	4:06pm Shana: Condolences, Todd. I lost my dad not too long ago so I'm grateful to you for sharing stories about your mom. Hugs your way.
	👻 4:06pm John L: ↳ listener 126464 @4:01 Yes! My local Sam Goody had a guy working there that was pretty hip. His name was Jimi LaLumia and was associated with the Max's and CBGB's scene.

	4:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Shana @4:06 I am sorry to hear that Shana but very glad I can be of some help to you.
	4:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Blissland @4:09 That never happened. I started worrying about that years back and was so relieved it never came to pass.
	4:11pm Marie in Chicago: Today's my dad's bday. He was a really impressive person in all the ways that really matter. RIP John/Jack.
	4:11pm listener 126464: Dad had the good alzheimer's. Mom had the bad.
	4:11pm Blissland: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:10 Thank goodness. That would have made it so much worse.
	4:13pm Blissland: A couple of things I took solace in, my mom still knew who I was, and didn't want to live to be 90 anyway.
	4:13pm Billybob: ↳ Blissland @4:09 When my mother had Alzheimers, she stopped recognizing people that she knew, and started recognizing people that she'd never met. It was kinda funny, but with that illness, you try to find the humor wherever you can.
	4:14pm Chili MacPagoda: I was upstairs changing the sheets on my bed and listening to you talk about Exile On Main Street, thought man this is a great story. Without knowing the context of the set/show, it slowly became clear what the story was about and I’m just so sorry for your loss, Todd. Speaking plainly yet evocatively(and beautifully) about yr mom is a lovely tribute. My thoughts, condolences and love to you today, friend.
	4:14pm Christina Ginger: My album collection starts with the A-Bones and ends with the Zantees.
	4:15pm Blissland: ↳ Billybob @4:13 That had to be hard. But it helps to find the humor in everything. There isn't much in this world that doesn't need it
	👻 4:15pm John L: ↳ listener 126464 @4:07 Smith Haven Mall on Long Island. By the time I started high school I started hanging at a little store nearby called Record Stop, in Ronkonkoma. They could get me all the imports I read about in Trouser Press.
	4:15pm Marie in Chicago: I'm sorry for your loss, Todd. You'll always have the love.
	4:15pm DonJuanTijuana: ↳ Christina Ginger @4:14 Must be a quite a Rockin collection imo
	4:16pm McGroovey: Condolences, Todd. It was a nice tribute.
	4:16pm frisky cudgel: Now I’m craving hearing anything by Goldie Genyusha Zelkowitz (aka Genya Ravan).
	4:18pm Blissland: Apart from the vocal this could pass as a studio master
	4:18pm WM: A very long time ago, at NYU, I saw the Zantees in a battle of the bands that included The Nervous Rex, and the Fleshtones. I think the Fleshtones won. I had The Zantees first album on vinyl too.
	4:18pm McGroovey in Rochester: I can't see Teenage Fanclub tonight in Jersey City, but the good news is that I get to see New Math tonight in Rochester.

	4:26pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Blissland @4:25 That makes two of us.
	4:31pm Billybob: ↳ frisky cudgel @4:16 I never hear Ten Wheel Drive here. Would love to hear Eye of the Needle, one of most metal jazz songs I ever heard.

	4:32pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Maintenance Man" by "Gethen Jenkins live on WFMU" This funky tonk is fantastic
	👻 4:33pm Squints: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @4:32 Funky tonk. I'm absolutely stealing that.
	4:35pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Squints @4:33 Please do, and spread it around liberally! You have my support.
	4:37pm McGroovey in Rochester: ↳ Song: "Gethen Jenkins live on WFMU! Engineered by Tom Un... His accent doesn't sound very Alaskan.
	4:38pm McGroovey in Rochester: Great set
	4:38pm Billybob: ↳ listener 126464 @4:26 Yes! The Drug Fair in Colonia. By the age of 8, I knew all the places to find records.
	4:39pm Blissland: ↳ McGroovey in Rochester @4:37 nor californian
	4:40pm Steve from Dunwoody: “Stop loss” is not a WFMU DJ knowledge item! Thanks for your service, Marine!
	👻 4:43pm Garrity: Sorry for your loss, Todd. Great tribute set. Good memories abound.
	4:46pm BillDolanBDC: I called Mike and Pat’s apartment at 917 Willow “the Cave, originally Pat before Mike moved from LA and then both as the Caveman. They only had a rotary phone, no internet, no cable and not even a shower. It was a hand held tube as a shower in the bathtub. My brother later moved into Pat’s room and suddenly they had cable etc. The name stuck. He will be missed forever.
	4:47pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:26 @ Todd I appreciate you sharing about your mother and the final days you had with her. I too lost my mom recently. Though she couldn’t talk, we believed she could hear us. She could squeeze our hands. Those last moments are precious however painful. May your mom rest in peace. Thanks for putting this great show together. Music = tonic for grief.
	4:47pm Blissland: oh nice, this is a great record
	4:47pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ BillDolanBDC @4:46 Thanks for the backstory and sentiments Bill.
	4:48pm BillDolanBDC: Love to you old friend.
	4:49pm Steve from Dunwoody: “There are a lot of ways and maybe it was none of them” is real wisdom, thanks Todd. And I am sorry for your too-much-loss of The Caveman Mike Long. RIP.
	4:50pm Bluesky: Little Bob's gotta a squeaky kick pedal
	4:51pm Steve from Dunwoody: *Longo, thanks for nothing embedded intelligence.

	5:07pm Dennis Diken: ↳ bobobobob plasticland @3:22 hey bobobobob!
	5:07pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): So sorry Todd to hear about your Mom’s passing….and Caveman. My Mom passed 10 years ago of emphysema. My Dad passed 6 years ago of Alzheimer’s. I took care of Dad for 4 yrs until his passing. When I would ask him “do you know who I am?” He would say Friend. He was the 1st Family member that was dying(hospice at home), while still alive. He was on a liquid diet that last month. The weekend before his passing he gave me a glimpse of Heaven as he went through “the light tunnel.” And he also knew who I was. What a beautiful gift that he left with me! Tears are running down my face now because I miss him and my Mom. No matter how old we get, when our Parents pass, we feel like an orphan abandoned. It’s the hardest part of life because they gave us life and loved us so much. Many Condolences Hugs for your heart Todd!!… we all “love” you. Keep her in your heart she is now your Angel. I shopped at Vogels Record Store in Elizabeth. I would go there weekly.

	5:10pm Blissland: out in the pine barrens where the jersey devils roam
	5:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Dennis Diken @5:09 Indeed, my friend.
	5:14pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Jukebox Charlie" by "Dale Watson" If I didn't know better, I'd think Dave Edmunds studied this guitar player's style.
	5:14pm jg: DOUG!
	5:14pm Blissland: I like the clipping on the vocal
	👻 5:14pm MFlynn: So sorry Todd. Your mom was such a great person, I remember back she was always so pleasant. Very sorry.
	5:15pm bobobobob Plasticland: topt///..i guess Glenn Jones will have a lil tribute to Mike Longo tomorrow too huh??
	5:16pm BillfromRockTavern: HiTodd. Sorry about your mom and Mike Longo. I too remember getting records from my mom. , by request of course. I only depended on my dad to take me for record players and equipment.
	5:17pm frisky cudgel: ↳ Billybob @4:13 Ditto that insight & sentiment. Similar experience at this end. finding and embracing Humor definitely assisted our family getting thru 10 years of Alzheimers.
	👻 5:17pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Fake It 'Till You Make It" by "Abe Partridge live... That's MO-bile.
	5:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ bobobobob Plasticland @5:15 No doubt.
	👻 5:18pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Fake It 'Till You Make It" by "Abe Partridge live... Alabama, for sure. HIs voice sounds very Patterson Hood.
	5:19pm ?: Heya Pal. Late 90s, Fu Manchiu at Maxwells. Mike jumped on my back and we took over the floor. It was going great until we got knockled over and we landed on an empty Bud bottle and I had to leave the show to get stitches. But it was fun, we were young and I'll never forget it. Rest easy Mike. Roll me over and set me free, the cowboys life is the life for me.
	5:21pm George Kopp: We met Mike when our son Carson was sound guy at Maxwell's. A wonderful guy with a huge personality. He always treated us like family when we came to see a show. Rest in Peace, Mike Longo.
	5:21pm Fredericks: Abe fits into a certain category I haven't named yet. I'd go see him in a second.

	3:56pm Blissland: I stopped at wnyu for a while in the early 80s. Then wfdu before wfmu
	3:56pm George Kopp: EJ Korvettes West Orange for me, great rekkid section!
	3:57pm Billybob: I remember that EJ Korvettes. I remember going there with my parents to get the Kink Size album right when it came out. But it wasn't in the racks yet, so I snuck into their back room and actually found it. They caught me as I was grabbing it, but didn't seem to have much of a problem with me doing that. Hell, I was like 9, so not much of a threat.
	3:57pm MarciB: Todd- what a wonderful photo of you and your mom - so much love and good energy emanating from that snapshot. My husband's mom passed 6 months ago and it still feels a little raw.. we're sending our support + condolences.

	3:58pm Blissland: My family used to go to seaside heights every august for about a week. They rented a cottage
	👻 3:58pm John L: I also got The Slider when I was 12, from the Columbia Record Club, if I remember correctly. I'm sure I didn't know what "I want to ball you" meant.
	👻 3:58pm TonyR: OMG Todd is such a BABY [pinches cheeks].
	4:00pm Blissland: I was already in my late 20s when I discovered Russ Meyer

	4:01pm listener 126464: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @3:55 For a goody while Sam Goody had a great selection.
	4:01pm Spikey BXL: Am still in a record club, of sorts, atm
	4:02pm Jim from Tranquility: I worked at korvettes record department in west orange from 78 to 80. Great store. They were still pushing disco I pushing punk.
	4:05pm dday: ↳ John L @3:58 I walked the 5 miles each way from Garfield,NJ to Sam Goody in The Garden State Plaza in Paramus to buy my copy of "The Slider" as a 13 year old. The same for Deep Purple's "Who Do We Think We Are." Brought both home & blasted them on my parents "stereo" system. Neither batted an eye. They were cool with me & my music.
	4:06pm Shana: Condolences, Todd. I lost my dad not too long ago so I'm grateful to you for sharing stories about your mom. Hugs your way.
	👻 4:06pm John L: ↳ listener 126464 @4:01 Yes! My local Sam Goody had a guy working there that was pretty hip. His name was Jimi LaLumia and was associated with the Max's and CBGB's scene.

	4:09pm Marie in Chicago: It's nice to hear about your mom, Todd (heart)

	4:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Shana @4:06 I am sorry to hear that Shana but very glad I can be of some help to you.
	4:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Blissland @4:09 That never happened. I started worrying about that years back and was so relieved it never came to pass.
	4:11pm Marie in Chicago: Today's my dad's bday. He was a really impressive person in all the ways that really matter. RIP John/Jack.
	4:11pm listener 126464: Dad had the good alzheimer's. Mom had the bad.
	4:11pm Blissland: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:10 Thank goodness. That would have made it so much worse.
	4:13pm Blissland: A couple of things I took solace in, my mom still knew who I was, and didn't want to live to be 90 anyway.
	4:13pm Billybob: ↳ Blissland @4:09 When my mother had Alzheimers, she stopped recognizing people that she knew, and started recognizing people that she'd never met. It was kinda funny, but with that illness, you try to find the humor wherever you can.
	4:14pm Chili MacPagoda: I was upstairs changing the sheets on my bed and listening to you talk about Exile On Main Street, thought man this is a great story. Without knowing the context of the set/show, it slowly became clear what the story was about and I’m just so sorry for your loss, Todd. Speaking plainly yet evocatively(and beautifully) about yr mom is a lovely tribute. My thoughts, condolences and love to you today, friend.

	5:07pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): So sorry Todd to hear about your Mom’s passing….and Caveman. My Mom passed 10 years ago of emphysema. My Dad passed 6 years ago of Alzheimer’s. I took care of Dad for 4 yrs until his passing. When I would ask him “do you know who I am?” He would say Friend. He was the 1st Family member that was dying(hospice at home), while still alive. He was on a liquid diet that last month. The weekend before his passing he gave me a glimpse of Heaven as he went through “the light tunnel.” And he also knew who I was. What a beautiful gift that he left with me! Tears are running down my face now because I miss him and my Mom. No matter how old we get, when our Parents pass, we feel like an orphan abandoned. It’s the hardest part of life because they gave us life and loved us so much. Many Condolences Hugs for your heart Todd!!… we all “love” you. Keep her in your heart she is now your Angel. I shopped at Vogels Record Store in Elizabeth. I would go there weekly.
