	1:23pm efd: ↳ efd @1:22 two of the guys in the band are Dads (one of them quite recently) so it's hard for them to put a long tour together at the moment

	1:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ medson @1:25 mr B got room, board, and college tution for a long time in exchange for hitting the drums. i used to introduce him onstage by saying something like "there's no better drummer than a drummer with no better options..."
	1:27pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:25 hey - what is your review of that Industry Plate you had at Siberia? - that looked great!!
	1:28pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:27 it tasted great too. would have been even better if i'd gotten to eat it right when it came out of the kitchen. as such, 9/10 will definitely eat it again.
	1:29pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:28 uuhhh, what? you playing here in sept???

	1:41pm clarke: GREAT set -- impressive!
	1:41pm efd: ↳ Song: "chat with efd" by "memo pst" only one vocal mic in the studio made for some off-mic chatter that I had to amplify walkie talkie style!
	1:42pm Christopher John: Can't wait for the next record.
	1:43pm clarke: ↳ efd @1:41 i would imagine those guys probably share bills with Smirk??
	1:45pm radioronan: Great set..was in Boston & missed the shows, so this is the next best thing. Thanks Evan!
	1:48pm clarke: ↳ Song: "the maindee run" by "60 ft dolls" seems like you played this a few months back, too! RIP carl.
	1:49pm clarke: nice fat drum sound!
	1:49pm clarke: was he related to Bev Bevan? (sounds like it is possible)
	1:50pm efd: ↳ clarke @1:48 played the band earlier this year, not this song. No relation to Bev afaik.
	1:50pm 20oz pint: 60ft dolls were immense for me. thinking man's stereophonics etc
	1:52pm 20oz pint: ....not that I'd claim to be a thinker
	1:52pm mico: Memo PST was awesome
	1:54pm tim: I remember seeing 60 Ft Dools records around but didn't catch them. Sounds pretty great!
	1:56pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "pig valentine" by "60 ft dolls" this song is bacon my heart
	2:01pm 20oz pint: FYI - Happy Shopper was a chain of convenience stores in the UK in the 80s / 90s.
	2:02pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "happy shopper" by "60 ft dolls" the vocals here are giving me strong ian hunter vibes. really dig it.
	2:02pm efd: ↳ 20oz pint @2:01 Ah! Thank you for that context!
	2:02pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:02 i was gonna mention just that!
	2:04pm clarke: ↳ Song: "RIP Carl Bevan, drummer for 60 Ft. Dolls" such a shame! what a player!!
	2:06pm PJ: Wiki says they had a second album in 1998, Joya Magica
	2:08pm 20oz pint: ↳ PJ @2:06 Yes - they got dropped by record company after the 1st album (CEO hated them apparently) and 2nd album stayed in the can for some years. not as strong as 1st unfortunately
	2:09pm efd: ↳ 20oz pint @2:08 huh, I'll see if I can track it down. Still curious to hear it.
	2:10pm clarke: ↳ Song: "RIP Dave Sweetapple from Witch, Sweet Apple, et al." prior to playing music, Dave worked for Tom Johnston Mgmt, which was Come's management, among others. dave road-managed a few bands i toured with. such a great dude.
	2:11pm hifivicky: also John Petkovoc (Death of Samantha, Cobra Vetde) was in Witch and Sweetapple!
	2:12pm hifivicky: *Cobra Verde
	2:12pm efd: ↳ hifivicky @2:11 I know he was in Sweet Apple, he's not on this Witch record but maybe he joined later?
	2:13pm efd: ↳ clarke @2:10 one of those guys where every single post about him mentions what a great guy he was.
	2:13pm clarke: now that the shock has settled a bit, i guess there's no better way to go, than to just not wake up. RIP.
	2:14pm tim: ↳ Song: "seer" by "witch" I bet it was fun playing this music.
	2:16pm hifivicky: @efd idk.. I saw Witch open for Bevis Frond, or maybe the other way round...? petkovic was there... I think...? early onset altzheimers??
	2:20pm efd: ↳ hifivicky @2:16 maybe he toured with them but didn't record with them
	2:22pm tim: Was John Petkovoc the Elvis impersonator in Death By Samantha?
	2:23pm common: ↳ clarke @2:13 just recently happened to a friend. that's the way i wanna.
	2:24pm clarke: ↳ common @2:23 yeah, me too.
	2:25pm clarke: ↳ tim @2:22 he wasn't 'just' that, he was the guitar player - also in Guided By Verde, later.
	2:25pm hifivicky: Holy Sht the way the guitars came in on opposite speakers just now
	2:27pm tim: ↳ clarke @2:25 Got it. I had John confused with the Death of Samantha drummer.
	2:28pm maurer: ↳ Song: "seer" by "witch" witch sounded great! will check them out...

	1:23pm efd: ↳ efd @1:22 two of the guys in the band are Dads (one of them quite recently) so it's hard for them to put a long tour together at the moment
	1:23pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @1:23 put the kids in the band and problem solved!
	1:24pm clarke: "i used to want kids - then i went to the airport" -Todd Barry

	1:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ medson @1:25 mr B got room, board, and college tution for a long time in exchange for hitting the drums. i used to introduce him onstage by saying something like "there's no better drummer than a drummer with no better options..."
	1:27pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:25 hey - what is your review of that Industry Plate you had at Siberia? - that looked great!!
	1:28pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:27 it tasted great too. would have been even better if i'd gotten to eat it right when it came out of the kitchen. as such, 9/10 will definitely eat it again.
	1:29pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:28 uuhhh, what? you playing here in sept???

	1:41pm clarke: GREAT set -- impressive!
	1:41pm efd: ↳ Song: "chat with efd" by "memo pst" only one vocal mic in the studio made for some off-mic chatter that I had to amplify walkie talkie style!
	1:42pm Christopher John: Can't wait for the next record.
	1:43pm clarke: ↳ efd @1:41 i would imagine those guys probably share bills with Smirk??

	1:49pm clarke: was he related to Bev Bevan? (sounds like it is possible)
	1:50pm efd: ↳ clarke @1:48 played the band earlier this year, not this song. No relation to Bev afaik.
	1:50pm 20oz pint: 60ft dolls were immense for me. thinking man's stereophonics etc
	1:52pm 20oz pint: ....not that I'd claim to be a thinker
	1:52pm mico: Memo PST was awesome
	1:54pm tim: I remember seeing 60 Ft Dools records around but didn't catch them. Sounds pretty great!
	1:56pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "pig valentine" by "60 ft dolls" this song is bacon my heart
	2:01pm 20oz pint: FYI - Happy Shopper was a chain of convenience stores in the UK in the 80s / 90s.
	2:02pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "happy shopper" by "60 ft dolls" the vocals here are giving me strong ian hunter vibes. really dig it.
	2:02pm efd: ↳ 20oz pint @2:01 Ah! Thank you for that context!
	2:02pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:02 i was gonna mention just that!

	2:06pm PJ: Wiki says they had a second album in 1998, Joya Magica
	2:08pm 20oz pint: ↳ PJ @2:06 Yes - they got dropped by record company after the 1st album (CEO hated them apparently) and 2nd album stayed in the can for some years. not as strong as 1st unfortunately
	2:09pm efd: ↳ 20oz pint @2:08 huh, I'll see if I can track it down. Still curious to hear it.
	2:10pm clarke: ↳ Song: "RIP Dave Sweetapple from Witch, Sweet Apple, et al." prior to playing music, Dave worked for Tom Johnston Mgmt, which was Come's management, among others. dave road-managed a few bands i toured with. such a great dude.
	2:11pm hifivicky: also John Petkovoc (Death of Samantha, Cobra Vetde) was in Witch and Sweetapple!
	2:12pm hifivicky: *Cobra Verde
	2:12pm efd: ↳ hifivicky @2:11 I know he was in Sweet Apple, he's not on this Witch record but maybe he joined later?
	2:13pm efd: ↳ clarke @2:10 one of those guys where every single post about him mentions what a great guy he was.
	2:13pm clarke: now that the shock has settled a bit, i guess there's no better way to go, than to just not wake up. RIP.
	2:14pm tim: ↳ Song: "seer" by "witch" I bet it was fun playing this music.
	2:16pm hifivicky: @efd idk.. I saw Witch open for Bevis Frond, or maybe the other way round...? petkovic was there... I think...? early onset altzheimers??
	2:20pm efd: ↳ hifivicky @2:16 maybe he toured with them but didn't record with them
	2:22pm tim: Was John Petkovoc the Elvis impersonator in Death By Samantha?
	2:23pm common: ↳ clarke @2:13 just recently happened to a friend. that's the way i wanna.
	2:24pm clarke: ↳ common @2:23 yeah, me too.
	2:25pm clarke: ↳ tim @2:22 he wasn't 'just' that, he was the guitar player - also in Guided By Verde, later.
	2:25pm hifivicky: Holy Sht the way the guitars came in on opposite speakers just now
	2:27pm tim: ↳ clarke @2:25 Got it. I had John confused with the Death of Samantha drummer.

	2:52pm Picante Mint: ↳ Song: "brenda's iron sledge" by "robyn hitchcock" I am unfamiliar with Pat Collier, but The Soft Boys and Robyn Hitchcock were life changing for me. RIP and I will have to dive into their work.
