	♥ 3:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Franco Twinkie @3:26 This yard is too small and trashy for a guy to deal with it. It barely qualifies as a yard. And I have given over the center of it to a hop-raspberry monster!

	♥ 3:42pm Ira: Dennis, that sounds right about the Rubinoos. I had forgotten that.
	♥ 3:42pm James in ATL: Love this Steve Albini recording of Cheap Trick!
	♥ 3:44pm Hams: whoa, solo fred schneider.
	3:45pm georgia: Tickled pink to hear fred!
	♥ 3:45pm DonJuanTijuana: ↳ Song: "He's a Whore" by "Cheap Trick" Well done Ira! Albini’s influence touched so many bands great & small! That kicked a$$!
	♥ 3:47pm Ira: Shadowy Men backing Fred Schneider!
	3:48pm Wendy: This is great!!
	3:52pm rpdube: The lyrics to "Spoke" have taken on a whole new significance
	♥ 3:53pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:30 Sounds like our yard (not the yard Franco's speaking of)
	♥ 3:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)" by "The Emergenc... THIS!
	♥ 3:54pm The Butterman: Damn! Ira! Do not stop on the tracks!
	♥ 4:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ chresti @3:53 It looks like we're going to get a lot of raspberries!
	♥ 4:01pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:00 That is XLNT!
	♥ 4:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ chresti @4:01 I bled for them.
	♥ 4:02pm Will thee SG OCNY: I think the biggest thing is that he spoke his mind with very little filter. He had a heart of gold, would spend precious time with anyone who would listen. Describe his recording ideology, thoughts, practices, mic placement, mic choices ect. I'm disappointed I never had the opportunity to speak with him. The closest I ever got was about 20' away at the Bell House during a Shellac show. I know people whom recorded with him and people who really wanted to work with him. It seems as if Chicago lost a big part of their scene and soul. Soo many great things are being shared about him. It's a shame we celebrate people after their gone, and not celebrate them while amongst the living. It's still hitting me hard. The new Shellac album To All Trains is epic. It was both a pleasure to listen to as much as a heartbreak. Very parallel for me as to when Bowie died when I received my copy of Blackstar on Vinyl. Long live his legacy, long live the music, long live his view on building DIY community, and long live people's memories and anecdotes about him. Rest in Power Steve Albini!
	♥ 4:06pm Ira: Will thee SG OCNY. Not to contradict you, but to add. I'm sure a lot of the people that he gleefully and gratuitously attacked might question that heart of gold.
	4:08pm Ans miami: Ars nova. Nice
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Down on the Bay" by "The Move" ...so CheapTrick it's TheMove still...
	♥ 4:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Ans miami @4:08 Finally, I get to hear Ars Nova. When I was a kid, life magazine did an issue called 'The New Rock' - Jefferson Airplane was on the cover inside plastic boxes in a salt quarry. It had formal portraits of Cream, The Mothers, The Doors and Big Brother. Frank Zappa wrote an essay, and there was this band practicing I had never heard of Ars Nova. I still have that nmagazine...someplace.
	♥ 4:12pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Ira @4:06 I can appreciate that outlook, he did say alot of things. Even about other artists that I may like. One of the stand outs is when he said Steely Dan sounds like the SNL band warming up. Or something like that. I don't want to clutter up your playlist, I appreciate you Ira. I'm enjoying your fill-in show. Always a great time hearing you on the radio!
	♥ 4:16pm ∫ydniuß: Steve seemed to be a reformed prick, FWIW
	♥ 4:19pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:11 i got that one wrong was sure that was zander
	♥ 4:22pm Ira: Thank you for the comments, Will. Truly appreciate them!
	4:23pm Sufferwords: Dennis Duck- the whole magiilicutty
	4:23pm PB: I’m a big Dream Syndicate fan, but did they ever really “rocket to fame”?
	♥ 4:26pm Ira: So, PB, you're suggesting they SHOULD have cancelled that Folk City show. You might be right.
	4:26pm PB: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @4:12 Steve Albini was cranky/nasty Lou Reed Lite. I don’t think too many people put too much stock in what he thought or said about other musicians.
	4:27pm rpdube: best show ever.
	4:27pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: I was at that Dream Syndicate show! There were dozens of people there...
	4:28pm the serpent: I know I should know this — but did teenage fan club cover this I guess? It’s a red Kross song originally?
	4:28pm traven: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:12 Franco, FYI - the magazine you're referring to is Life magazine, June 28, 1968. I have a copy of this issue myself.
	4:28pm Todd: RIP Joanna Spock Dean. Dean wrote and sang "Legend (Come On Up To Me)" with Redd Kross on the Desperate Teenage Lovedolls soundtrack. Good rockin song.
	♥ 4:28pm Mike H: ↳ Song: "Everything Flows" by "Redd Kross" Had no idea Redd Kross covered this song! Love it
	♥ 4:29pm DonJuanTijuana: ↳ Song: "Everything Flows" by "Redd Kross" So good 😊!!!
	♥ 4:29pm Mike H: ↳ the serpent @4:28 It’s TFC originally
	4:29pm the serpent: @Mike thanks!
	♥ 4:30pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn @4:27 On a Saturday Afternoon long ago, my neighbor Mark asked me if I wanted to go see Dennis Ducks new band - they were playing at a cloths store in Pasadena. Of course it was the Dream Syndicate. They had only done a few shows up to then. There were about thirty people there tops. Mark took the iconic picture of Kendra Smith sitting on the hood of her car at that show.
	4:31pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Everything Flows" by "Redd Kross" Really enjoying this tune...
	4:33pm Corey: Early summer over here in Northern Michigan. This rocking set an ideal soundtrack for it!
	4:34pm Sudbury Bob: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:30 Has anyone else here heard the Rainy Day record with Kendra Smith and Sussanah Joffs etc? It's on YouTube. Great record.
	♥ 4:35pm Mike H: ↳ Sudbury Bob @4:34 Rainy Day is a great record. Been looking for a copy for years
	♥ 4:36pm MarciB: ↳ Sudbury Bob @4:34 Oh yeah! I nearly wore the vinyl of that out from repeated listening back in the day. I was a going to college in LA and went to all the shows - Dream Syndicate, Redd Kross...plus the Go-Gos, Pneumonic Devices, 100 Flowers...good times. I loved that compilation!
	4:37pm morphe': Dada Ira: Doin' the Snake Hips [and] Then She Remembers Everything Flows The Last Year Osmosis
	♥ 4:38pm MarciB: ↳ MarciB @4:36 Oh yeah and the Three O'Clock...Rain Parade...I think it was an assortment of musicians from those bands playing covers...
	4:39pm Sudbury Bob: Love Sussanah Hoffs I'll Be Your Mirror on that
	♥ 4:40pm Ignore Function: Just Sittin' Here lovin' this show, Ira.
	♥ 4:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Sudbury Bob @4:34 Oh yeah. That bunch use to churn up all kinds of stuff.
	♥ 4:42pm Ira: Just fixed a typo on the playlist that echoed something we saw at Jazzfest a million. Chilton misspelled as Chitlon. At least it was a mistake with a pedigree.
	♥ 4:43pm Ira: uh . . . million years ago, that is.
	4:44pm Sudbury Bob: Great set. I've been painting and the painting is now complete. Good music for it.
	4:45pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Boo-Dan" by "Jimmy C. Newman" Boo-Dan the etymological root of PoonTang
	♥ 4:47pm Hubig Pie: Alex Chilton never played any Big Star music at his jazzfest gigs. Just silly stuff like "What's Your Sign Girl?"
	♥ 4:51pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "1880 or So" by "Television" 🤘🏻 those amazing runs
	♥ 4:52pm Hubig Pie: Alex Chitlin loves some hot boudin.
	4:52pm Abs miami: Aka. Ans miami …. Gracias …
	4:54pm PB: Saw Television on the early 90s “reunion tour”. The guitar interplay between Verlaine and Lloyd was pretty incredible.
	4:54pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "1880 or So" by "Television" Hello Ira and everyone. I’ve been lurking and listening to the great sets today. This one…a particularly good version, kicks ass. <3<3<3
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just saw a Reel about Jerry ...& was thinking : Bob Dylan observed when Jerry passed - there are a lot of worlds from Hank Williams to Ornette Coleman - & Garcia traveled them all. Myself ...I find myself bouncing around between PowerPop, FolkRawks - & pure Improvisation as per Jazz &~or Psychedelia. With a strong base in the Heavy BloozRawks (being chronically Gittarcentric...) & a certain notable dose of the ProtoPunks (Stooges, MC5, Dolls...) But ...no one's obliged to be concerned with that of course... So in my old age still an identity crisis about what I even add up to ...oh. & then there was this band called Television...
	♥ 4:56pm DonJuanTijuana: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:54 San Pedro Girl knows great tunes!
	♥ 4:57pm Artie: ↳ Song: "Evelyn Marble" by "Velvet Monkeys" Love these Velvet Monkeys records so much
	4:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DonJuanTijuana @4:56 Hi Don Juan!

	5:13pm rpdube: Ira, looking at the setlists, you got Don't Cry No Tears, though last night here in Massachusetts we got Barstool Blues
	♥ 5:14pm Ira: I have zero complaints about the show I saw, only that I haven't seen more of them. I'm greedy that way.
	5:15pm Marie in Chicago: Hey, great show. I missed the first third or so but I will be listening in the archives. Hi Ira, hi All! (I thought that Television song was Sonic Youth at first...)
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Geez but 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere' is a great album.
	♥ 5:16pm Just-N-time: ↳ Hams @5:10 the highlight of the first night for me!
	5:18pm Sudbury Bob: GNarly cover
	♥ 5:20pm Hams: ↳ Just-N-time @5:16 for sure.
	♥ 5:21pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: "The People" by "Th' Faith Healers" I'm digging this build up
	5:22pm ledzeppelinsucks: Saw Th Faithhealers at the Old Casbah 1992.
	5:23pm ledzeppelinsucks: Imaginary Friend
	5:23pm Wendy: Niiiice
	5:27pm PB: This Pere Ubu recording is truly “lo-fi”.
	5:28pm Sudbury Bob: ↳ PB @5:27 It reminds me of the Rocket From The Tombs tapes.
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Can't Believe It" by "Pere Ubu" Neat-o.
	♥ 5:48pm MFlynn: Doug Sahm was the best!
	5:50pm Abs miami: Nice show
	5:53pm San Pedro Girl: Thank you, Ira. Very enjoyable show.

	♥ 3:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Franco Twinkie @3:26 This yard is too small and trashy for a guy to deal with it. It barely qualifies as a yard. And I have given over the center of it to a hop-raspberry monster!
	♥ 3:30pm MFlynn: But done by Dave Edmunds!
	3:30pm Bob in DC: Where was the “My Generation” bit from?
	♥ 3:31pm London Calling Francky: ↳ MFlynn @3:28 A Modern Nutter? Arf, I'll get my coat!
	♥ 3:32pm Handy Haversack: Play something sharp, Ira -- I'm gonna cut my hair!
	3:36pm morphe': A day of extras... ????? [great extras!!!] where are all the Regs??? Private Party??
	3:36pm Dennis Diken: Ira, was that the Town Hall show with The Rubinoos sharing the bill? I was there too
	♥ 3:39pm Ted the K: enjoyed the Volcano Suns / Golf Dolls 1-2 punch. And 2 unknown versions of My Generation in one afternoon.. wow!
	♥ 3:40pm Will thee SG OCNY: I'm enjoying the last set, and listening to this set break. 💔
	♥ 3:42pm Ira: Dennis, that sounds right about the Rubinoos. I had forgotten that.
	♥ 3:42pm James in ATL: Love this Steve Albini recording of Cheap Trick!
	♥ 3:44pm Hams: whoa, solo fred schneider.
	3:45pm georgia: Tickled pink to hear fred!
	♥ 3:45pm DonJuanTijuana: ↳ Song: "He's a Whore" by "Cheap Trick" Well done Ira! Albini’s influence touched so many bands great & small! That kicked a$$!
	♥ 3:47pm Ira: Shadowy Men backing Fred Schneider!
	3:48pm Wendy: This is great!!
	3:52pm rpdube: The lyrics to "Spoke" have taken on a whole new significance
	♥ 3:53pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:30 Sounds like our yard (not the yard Franco's speaking of)
	♥ 3:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)" by "The Emergenc... THIS!
	♥ 3:54pm The Butterman: Damn! Ira! Do not stop on the tracks!
	♥ 4:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ chresti @3:53 It looks like we're going to get a lot of raspberries!
	♥ 4:01pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:00 That is XLNT!
	♥ 4:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ chresti @4:01 I bled for them.
	♥ 4:02pm Will thee SG OCNY: I think the biggest thing is that he spoke his mind with very little filter. He had a heart of gold, would spend precious time with anyone who would listen. Describe his recording ideology, thoughts, practices, mic placement, mic choices ect. I'm disappointed I never had the opportunity to speak with him. The closest I ever got was about 20' away at the Bell House during a Shellac show. I know people whom recorded with him and people who really wanted to work with him. It seems as if Chicago lost a big part of their scene and soul. Soo many great things are being shared about him. It's a shame we celebrate people after their gone, and not celebrate them while amongst the living. It's still hitting me hard. The new Shellac album To All Trains is epic. It was both a pleasure to listen to as much as a heartbreak. Very parallel for me as to when Bowie died when I received my copy of Blackstar on Vinyl. Long live his legacy, long live the music, long live his view on building DIY community, and long live people's memories and anecdotes about him. Rest in Power Steve Albini!
	♥ 4:06pm Ira: Will thee SG OCNY. Not to contradict you, but to add. I'm sure a lot of the people that he gleefully and gratuitously attacked might question that heart of gold.
	4:08pm Ans miami: Ars nova. Nice
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Down on the Bay" by "The Move" ...so CheapTrick it's TheMove still...
	♥ 4:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Ans miami @4:08 Finally, I get to hear Ars Nova. When I was a kid, life magazine did an issue called 'The New Rock' - Jefferson Airplane was on the cover inside plastic boxes in a salt quarry. It had formal portraits of Cream, The Mothers, The Doors and Big Brother. Frank Zappa wrote an essay, and there was this band practicing I had never heard of Ars Nova. I still have that nmagazine...someplace.
	♥ 4:12pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Ira @4:06 I can appreciate that outlook, he did say alot of things. Even about other artists that I may like. One of the stand outs is when he said Steely Dan sounds like the SNL band warming up. Or something like that. I don't want to clutter up your playlist, I appreciate you Ira. I'm enjoying your fill-in show. Always a great time hearing you on the radio!
	♥ 4:16pm ∫ydniuß: Steve seemed to be a reformed prick, FWIW
	♥ 4:19pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:11 i got that one wrong was sure that was zander
	♥ 4:22pm Ira: Thank you for the comments, Will. Truly appreciate them!
	4:23pm Sufferwords: Dennis Duck- the whole magiilicutty
	4:23pm PB: I’m a big Dream Syndicate fan, but did they ever really “rocket to fame”?
	♥ 4:26pm Ira: So, PB, you're suggesting they SHOULD have cancelled that Folk City show. You might be right.
	4:26pm PB: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @4:12 Steve Albini was cranky/nasty Lou Reed Lite. I don’t think too many people put too much stock in what he thought or said about other musicians.
	4:27pm rpdube: best show ever.
	4:27pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: I was at that Dream Syndicate show! There were dozens of people there...
	4:28pm the serpent: I know I should know this — but did teenage fan club cover this I guess? It’s a red Kross song originally?
	4:28pm traven: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:12 Franco, FYI - the magazine you're referring to is Life magazine, June 28, 1968. I have a copy of this issue myself.
	4:28pm Todd: RIP Joanna Spock Dean. Dean wrote and sang "Legend (Come On Up To Me)" with Redd Kross on the Desperate Teenage Lovedolls soundtrack. Good rockin song.
	♥ 4:28pm Mike H: ↳ Song: "Everything Flows" by "Redd Kross" Had no idea Redd Kross covered this song! Love it
	♥ 4:29pm DonJuanTijuana: ↳ Song: "Everything Flows" by "Redd Kross" So good 😊!!!
	♥ 4:29pm Mike H: ↳ the serpent @4:28 It’s TFC originally
	4:29pm the serpent: @Mike thanks!
	♥ 4:30pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn @4:27 On a Saturday Afternoon long ago, my neighbor Mark asked me if I wanted to go see Dennis Ducks new band - they were playing at a cloths store in Pasadena. Of course it was the Dream Syndicate. They had only done a few shows up to then. There were about thirty people there tops. Mark took the iconic picture of Kendra Smith sitting on the hood of her car at that show.
	4:31pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Everything Flows" by "Redd Kross" Really enjoying this tune...
	4:33pm Corey: Early summer over here in Northern Michigan. This rocking set an ideal soundtrack for it!
	4:34pm Sudbury Bob: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:30 Has anyone else here heard the Rainy Day record with Kendra Smith and Sussanah Joffs etc? It's on YouTube. Great record.
	♥ 4:35pm Mike H: ↳ Sudbury Bob @4:34 Rainy Day is a great record. Been looking for a copy for years
	♥ 4:36pm MarciB: ↳ Sudbury Bob @4:34 Oh yeah! I nearly wore the vinyl of that out from repeated listening back in the day. I was a going to college in LA and went to all the shows - Dream Syndicate, Redd Kross...plus the Go-Gos, Pneumonic Devices, 100 Flowers...good times. I loved that compilation!
	4:37pm morphe': Dada Ira: Doin' the Snake Hips [and] Then She Remembers Everything Flows The Last Year Osmosis
	♥ 4:38pm MarciB: ↳ MarciB @4:36 Oh yeah and the Three O'Clock...Rain Parade...I think it was an assortment of musicians from those bands playing covers...
	4:39pm Sudbury Bob: Love Sussanah Hoffs I'll Be Your Mirror on that
	♥ 4:40pm Ignore Function: Just Sittin' Here lovin' this show, Ira.
	♥ 4:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Sudbury Bob @4:34 Oh yeah. That bunch use to churn up all kinds of stuff.
	♥ 4:42pm Ira: Just fixed a typo on the playlist that echoed something we saw at Jazzfest a million. Chilton misspelled as Chitlon. At least it was a mistake with a pedigree.
	♥ 4:43pm Ira: uh . . . million years ago, that is.
	4:44pm Sudbury Bob: Great set. I've been painting and the painting is now complete. Good music for it.
	4:45pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Boo-Dan" by "Jimmy C. Newman" Boo-Dan the etymological root of PoonTang
	♥ 4:47pm Hubig Pie: Alex Chilton never played any Big Star music at his jazzfest gigs. Just silly stuff like "What's Your Sign Girl?"
	♥ 4:51pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "1880 or So" by "Television" 🤘🏻 those amazing runs
	♥ 4:52pm Hubig Pie: Alex Chitlin loves some hot boudin.
	4:52pm Abs miami: Aka. Ans miami …. Gracias …
	4:54pm PB: Saw Television on the early 90s “reunion tour”. The guitar interplay between Verlaine and Lloyd was pretty incredible.
	4:54pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "1880 or So" by "Television" Hello Ira and everyone. I’ve been lurking and listening to the great sets today. This one…a particularly good version, kicks ass. <3<3<3
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just saw a Reel about Jerry ...& was thinking : Bob Dylan observed when Jerry passed - there are a lot of worlds from Hank Williams to Ornette Coleman - & Garcia traveled them all. Myself ...I find myself bouncing around between PowerPop, FolkRawks - & pure Improvisation as per Jazz &~or Psychedelia. With a strong base in the Heavy BloozRawks (being chronically Gittarcentric...) & a certain notable dose of the ProtoPunks (Stooges, MC5, Dolls...) But ...no one's obliged to be concerned with that of course... So in my old age still an identity crisis about what I even add up to ...oh. & then there was this band called Television...
	♥ 4:56pm DonJuanTijuana: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:54 San Pedro Girl knows great tunes!
	♥ 4:57pm Artie: ↳ Song: "Evelyn Marble" by "Velvet Monkeys" Love these Velvet Monkeys records so much

	♥ 5:14pm Ira: I have zero complaints about the show I saw, only that I haven't seen more of them. I'm greedy that way.
	5:15pm Marie in Chicago: Hey, great show. I missed the first third or so but I will be listening in the archives. Hi Ira, hi All! (I thought that Television song was Sonic Youth at first...)
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Geez but 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere' is a great album.

	5:23pm ledzeppelinsucks: Imaginary Friend
	5:23pm Wendy: Niiiice
	5:27pm PB: This Pere Ubu recording is truly “lo-fi”.
	5:28pm Sudbury Bob: ↳ PB @5:27 It reminds me of the Rocket From The Tombs tapes.
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Can't Believe It" by "Pere Ubu" Neat-o.
	♥ 5:48pm MFlynn: Doug Sahm was the best!
