	🦇 3:08pm Michael C St Lou: 🌝 many more lurking in the sunshine/moonshine today
	3:09pm Julie: hi There Michael C St Lou!
	3:09pm JReganK: Hey, Julie!
	3:10pm Dan S: Hey Julie, fellow Dark Souls!
	3:10pm Julie: hi JRegan! Hi Dan!
	3:12pm Bas NL: Hi Julie! Hi all!
	3:12pm Julie: Hi Bas!
	3:16pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "War Never Sleeps" by "Tara Cross" This track's title is all too true.
	3:18pm Julie: how's the volume today? I know I'm always low so I boosted the streaming app a little bit
	3:19pm egould: ↳ Julie @3:18 Volume is good. Signal clear.
	🦇 3:20pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Julie @3:18 low side comparatively
	3:23pm Julie: I don't wanna mess with it right now but I'll boost it more next week see if I can get closer to everyone else's levels
	3:26pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Julie @3:23 Ehh, if your levels are consistent through the show it's really no problem to adjust volume once for three or four hours of listening. What's really the worst is when people crank their levels up into clipping and the whole show's distorted!
	3:27pm Julie: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:26 yeah that's what I'm trying to avoid. But I think I have room to boost it some.
	3:28pm Michael 98145: ↳ Julie @3:27 A bit. Otherwise sounding good.
	3:32pm egould: Emails sent. The project is proceeding well. I think it's time to go get a cheeseburger and some groceries. Will have you in my ears and in my heart. I'll have you
	3:34pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Ten Feet Tall" by "XTC" I love a lot of XTC, "Oranges and Lemons" is one of my favorite album, but I never really bonded with Andy Partridge either. It's a little too intellectual for me, maybe?
	3:41pm Dan S: I have to head out for a bit, but should be back later. At least for the last hour of the show. In any case, thanks for all the music, Julie, and be well, fellow listeners.
	3:41pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Monte Carlo or Bust" by "Department S" Ooh their song "Is Vic There?" is one of the great punk singles. I'm sure it's been playing to death on WFMU of course.
	3:42pm Julie: ↳ egould @3:32 mmm enjoy your burger
	3:42pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @3:41 see ya later, Dan!
	3:54pm Sylvia: Hello Julie and all, sorry I’m jet lagged
	3:54pm Julie: hi Sylvia! Bet it's good to be back in your own bed though!
	3:55pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Claimstaker" by "Bjork" I love this Bjork album, it's like a return to her Classic Form.
	🦇 4:04pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "boys" by "flowerbomb" ❤‍🔥
	4:06pm chris in the redwoods: did anyone else just hear the doomsday clock get closer to midnight :(
	4:07pm chris in the redwoods: this music is all i need right now. thanks, Julie!
	4:08pm Julie: thanks Chris!
	4:17pm egould: Spooky whispered vocals 👍
	4:19pm ∫ydniuß: the call of Zabriskie
	4:19pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Dramatic Theme" by "Pink Floyd" "More" is a groovy album but the titles make it clear that the Floyd didn't exactly consider it a major project.
	4:20pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ hunterfelt @4:19 that gong was very expensive to get to Pompeii
	4:22pm Julie: hi ∫ydniuß!
	4:23pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Julie @4:22 let the ⭐️ flow Julie
	4:23pm chris in the redwoods: my brain may be playing tricks on me but i thought i heard a bit of Roky Erickson guitar influence in this Cure track.
	4:27pm Julie: I'm sure a lot of bands were influenced by him
	4:28pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "All Night" by "Low" The final two Low albums are masterpieces. R.I.P. Mimi Parker
	4:31pm Julie: ↳ Song: "2000 Miles" by "Deary" wait..is this a xmas song? OOPS
	🦇 4:32pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Julie @4:31 like it though
	4:32pm Julie: yeah I didn't realize this was the Chrissy Hynde song LOL
	4:32pm Julie: explains why it's a bonus track
	4:36pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Song: "Shadow Dance" by "Tremosphere" Tuning in just in time! Thank you, Julie!
	4:36pm Julie: hiya SMS!
	4:37pm hunterfelt: ↳ Julie @4:32 It turns it inside out, it's really great. So maybe it is a summer song now.
	4:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Shadow Dance" by "Tremosphere" Digging this!
	4:40pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:39 Thank you, Rich!
	4:41pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Shadow Dance" by "Tremosphere" This very much sounded like it came from a same place as the Low track.
	4:42pm Julie: ↳ hunterfelt @4:41 I thought it was a good pairing 🖤
	🦇 4:44pm Michael C St Lou: 😜😋
	4:46pm hunterfelt: ↳ Julie @4:42 100% Brilliant on your part!
	4:51pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ hunterfelt @4:41 We absolutely love them but very purposefully did not listen to "Hey What" until we were done with "Memoirs". We were working on the BPX "Forests" album at the time and that kinda of more experimental vibe found its way onto this particular track, I think...
	4:51pm egould: Robert Carlyle? Good actor. Fun show.
	4:53pm hunterfelt: ↳ Summer and Michael and Sylvia @4:51 That is very understandable! I do that with movies. I like to think of it as a Great Minds thing.
	4:55pm Julie: ↳ hunterfelt @4:46 they should've worked back to back but I guess I thought otherwise sticking that Deary tune in there
	4:56pm Julie: ↳ egould @4:51 ah he was in trainspotting AND full monty. I couldn't remember the name of the 2nd one
	4:57pm hunterfelt: ↳ Julie @4:55 They would have worked together back-to-back just fine, but the Deary cover was an amazing bridge between the two. It all came across as a single composition.
	5:06pm egould: ↳ Song: "Without You (2005 version)" by "Cosmicdust" The sky; it’s full of shoes. I gaze.
	5:06pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Without You (2005 version)" by "Cosmicdust" Wow this!
	5:07pm chris in the redwoods: well, shoot, gotta leave sooner than desired today. thanks for the great sounds, Julie! take care, everyone!
	5:07pm Julie: ↳ Bas NL @5:06 japan knows how to shoegaze
	5:07pm Julie: aww see ya Chris!
	5:09pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:07 I'll need to hear more of them! On 'wants' list.
	5:11pm love2laf: I too am exiting, but only the accu for cocktail hour, listening till the end. Wonderful selections today Julie, thank you. Cheers all you Dark Souls, keep your eyes on your shoes.
	5:11pm Julie: thanks L2L. Cheers!
	5:16pm TheDerek: Cleaning/Reorganizing studio. Show has been a great soundtrack for this endeavor
	5:17pm Julie: thanks Derek!
	5:17pm TheDerek: ↳ Julie @5:07 Angels in Heavy Syrup in particular. Love them!
	5:18pm Julie: ↳ TheDerek @5:17 I love them too but I haven't played them today
	5:19pm TheDerek: ↳ Julie @5:18 I know, just commenting on Japanese shoegaze
	5:19pm Julie: ↳ TheDerek @5:19 ohhhh okay!
	5:20pm Julie: ↳ TheDerek @5:19 didn't realize what that was a reply to !
	5:21pm TheDerek: ↳ Julie @5:20 😂Commenting by time signature
	5:24pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Breathe" by "Oatumn" Never heard of these folks, need to investigate further
	🦇 5:27pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Breathe" by "Oatumn" ❤‍🔥😜😋💦
	5:44pm Mxter Baba: shimmery glimmers in the dark night! hello, Julie and WFMUkins
	5:45pm Julie: hi there Mxter Baba!
	5:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mxter Baba @5:44 It's Mxter Baba! Howdy!
	5:54pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Rich in Washington @5:46 hey there, regional neighbor!
	5:54pm Julie: horny back toad!
	5:55pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Julie @5:54 howling old owl!
	6:00pm Rich in Washington: A pizza joint around where I grew up used to play the Pink Panther theme on the pipe organ while some hapless pizza employee would cavort about in a moth-eaten Pink Panther costume.
	6:02pm Julie: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:00 that's both funny and weird
	6:06pm A.J. MACHETE: ©1974
	6:07pm A.J. MACHETE: Ooh, he said "Ragina".
	6:08pm Julie: isn't that how they say the Canadian city? Regyna?
	6:09pm egould: Thank you for an afternoon of wonderful music, Julie. I gotta' make like a banana, and split.
	6:09pm Julie: see ya egould!
	6:11pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Julie @6:08 I didn't even know there was a Canadian city with that name. Are they close enough to border with Intercourse, PA? (joke)
	6:14pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "Seven Seas Of Rhye" by "Queen" now you’ve done it! this set was already revving me up, but anything from QII is MY JAM!!!!
	6:16pm Aitch: Hey Julie and crew.
	6:16pm Mxter Baba: YAHHHHH!!!!! MOTTTTTTT!!!!
	6:16pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:00 I approve
	6:16pm Julie: hiya Aitch!
	6:16pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "Roll Away The Stone" by "Mott the Hoople" I love the OGWT video of this
	6:17pm Dan S: ↳ Mxter Baba @6:16 I like 'em too, though maybe not quite so enthusiastically. :)
	6:18pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Dan S @6:17 it’s just the whole build up of this set is perfect
	6:19pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Mxter Baba @6:18 and it was TOTP: duck://player/yKmvTcSzcE8
	6:20pm Mxter Baba: 1974 FTW
	6:20pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Lilywhite Lilith" by "Genesis" I haven't heard this one, or anything from this album, in many a month. Love it.
	6:21pm Dan S: ↳ Mxter Baba @6:20 Ah yes, now I see. 50th anniversary. God, that's mind-boggling!
	6:22pm Mxter Baba: If I could beam back then to see Queen and Mott The Hoople LIVE!!!!
	6:22pm A.J. MACHETE: Wendy's belated b-day present.
	6:26pm Mxter Baba: 1974 I was in Kindy-garten
	6:27pm Mxter Baba: Revolution TikTok
	6:29pm Dan S: I think the Rolling Stones "liberated" the word "bitch" in 1971 with a song by that name. I THINK.
	6:30pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @6:29 did they play it on the radio?
	6:31pm Julie: some stations refused to play the elton song en.wikipedia.org...
	6:32pm Julie: when PIX in NYC doesn't play it...
	6:33pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Song: "Take a Little Trip" by "Minnie Riperton" Has anyone heard the version sung by Stevie Wonder? Deluxe version of Perfect Angel.
	6:33pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:30 I think it was played on the radio. A computer query seems to confirm that: en.wikipedia.org...
	6:34pm Bas NL: Can!
	6:34pm Mxter Baba: That 1974 set got me so excited I finally vacuumed my house just to burn off the energy!
	6:35pm Julie: ↳ Mxter Baba @6:34 that's awesome!
	6:36pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Dizzy Dizzy" by "Can" there is something T-rex-y about this
	6:36pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Dizzy Dizzy" by "Can" Good one!
	6:40pm Aitch: The Sweet Thing Candidate Sweet Think bit of D Dogs some of the best Bowie ever
	6:41pm Dean: During the early '70s, "Bitch" appeared on Billboard international charts and US college stations. In '74, Elton John's "The Bitch is Back" appeared on a Broadcasting chart of "top songs in air-play popularity in US radio."
	6:42pm Julie: so why did some stations refuse to play it?
	6:42pm Dean: Seems that the appearance of "Bitch" in jukeboxes (it was the flipside to "Brown Sugar") put pressure on radio stations to start playing it.
	6:43pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Dean @6:42 yay jukeboxes!!!!
	6:43pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:42 I'm pretty sure WNEW played it, and probably WPLJ too.
	6:45pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "A Really Good Time" by "Roxy Music" One of the racier album covers of the time.
	6:46pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @6:45 yeah I was just reading about how it was wrapped up in a lot of stores.
	6:47pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:46 That I can believe.
	6:47pm Dean: Assuming they did refuse to play it, I'd guess demographics was an important factor. College radio stations were cool with it. Non-US markets were cool with it. Mainstream Americans are hypocritical prudes. That, and the fact that it was a b-side.
	6:49pm Julie: I meant the elton song and I suppose it could be a well-publicized lie
	6:50pm chinn: Phantom of the Paradise! Bravo!
	6:50pm Julie: ↳ chinn @6:50 Hi chinn! LOVE LOVE that movie
	6:51pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "I Think of You" by "Renaissance" I loved Renaissance. Still do. Also, back then, I had a crush on Annie Haslam.
	6:51pm Julie: she still sounds amazing
	6:51pm Dean: Oh, gotcha. I don't find any extensive reporting on the Elton John track. It appears throughout 1974 on charts.
	6:53pm Dan S: OMG. Is it Cockney Rebel? Yes!!
	6:53pm Marshland: There were no issues with playing The Bitch is Back in the UK at the time.
	6:53pm Julie: Uk was cool with most things, all the puritans came here
	6:54pm Julie: what 1974 banger am I gonna end with?
	6:54pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Sweet Dreams" by "Cockney Rebel" This group was a favorite of me and a few friends when almost nobody over here had heard of them.
	6:55pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @6:54 new to me! yesterday!
	6:55pm Dan S: Could it be Abba? :)
	6:55pm Dean: In fact, in a 1977 interview with Buzz Bennett, he asks rhetorically, "Well, why does Elton John release 'The Bitch Is Back' and it gets played on every station in the country?" This is in response to a question about Johnny Guitar Watson's "Ain't That a Bitch?"
	6:56pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:55 Check out their album "The Human Menagerie" sometime.
	6:57pm Chuckz: This was a fun show - adding it to the list, thanks!
	6:57pm Marshland: Well the BBC did ban many songs, often incongruously. Sometimes they'd not ban stuff because the bosses didn't realise the slang sexual references...
	6:57pm Andrew: I love this song. It's the best Eurovision winner OAT. It doesn't matter that Napoleon didn't surrender at Waterloo.
	6:57pm Marshland: en.wikipedia.org...
	6:57pm Dan S: Julie, great show, and you've brightened my mood! Thanks ever so much!
	6:58pm JReganK: Thanks, Julie!
	6:58pm Bas NL: Thanks Julie! Great show!
	6:58pm Marshland: Above link is a list of banned songs on the BBC...
	6:58pm Yvang: Thanks Julie! I can't believe these songs are 50 years old.
	6:59pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Lady Starlight" by "The Sweet" Great show Julie!
	6:59pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, Julie!
	6:59pm Dean: In July 1977, Paul Anka performed the Elton John tune on Home Box Office.
	6:59pm Julie: thanks so much everyone!!
	7:00pm Julie: ↳ Dean @6:59 hahahaha too funny. I do remember Tina doing it

	3:02pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Julie and folks!

	3:04pm Michael 98145: ( w0w '92 ? )

	3:04pm egould: Hey yo, Julie! Hi everyone returning to the colony for the dark night.
	3:04pm Jeff Moore: Afternoon, Julie, everyone
	3:05pm doctorjazz: Hi, Julie and Streamers!
	3:06pm Julie: Hi L2L! hi Chris! Hi Hunter! Hi Michael! Hi Ken! HI Bixa! Hi egould! Hi Jeff! Hi Dr Jazz. Wow I take one phone call and everyone shows up!
	🦇 3:08pm Michael C St Lou: 🌝 many more lurking in the sunshine/moonshine today
	3:09pm Julie: hi There Michael C St Lou!
	3:09pm JReganK: Hey, Julie!
	3:10pm Dan S: Hey Julie, fellow Dark Souls!
	3:10pm Julie: hi JRegan! Hi Dan!
	3:12pm Bas NL: Hi Julie! Hi all!
	3:12pm Julie: Hi Bas!
	3:16pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "War Never Sleeps" by "Tara Cross" This track's title is all too true.
	3:18pm Julie: how's the volume today? I know I'm always low so I boosted the streaming app a little bit
	3:19pm egould: ↳ Julie @3:18 Volume is good. Signal clear.
	🦇 3:20pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Julie @3:18 low side comparatively
	3:23pm Julie: I don't wanna mess with it right now but I'll boost it more next week see if I can get closer to everyone else's levels
	3:26pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Julie @3:23 Ehh, if your levels are consistent through the show it's really no problem to adjust volume once for three or four hours of listening. What's really the worst is when people crank their levels up into clipping and the whole show's distorted!
	3:27pm Julie: ↳ Jeff Moore @3:26 yeah that's what I'm trying to avoid. But I think I have room to boost it some.
	3:28pm Michael 98145: ↳ Julie @3:27 A bit. Otherwise sounding good.
	3:32pm egould: Emails sent. The project is proceeding well. I think it's time to go get a cheeseburger and some groceries. Will have you in my ears and in my heart. I'll have you
	3:34pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Ten Feet Tall" by "XTC" I love a lot of XTC, "Oranges and Lemons" is one of my favorite album, but I never really bonded with Andy Partridge either. It's a little too intellectual for me, maybe?
	3:41pm Dan S: I have to head out for a bit, but should be back later. At least for the last hour of the show. In any case, thanks for all the music, Julie, and be well, fellow listeners.
	3:41pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Monte Carlo or Bust" by "Department S" Ooh their song "Is Vic There?" is one of the great punk singles. I'm sure it's been playing to death on WFMU of course.
	3:42pm Julie: ↳ egould @3:32 mmm enjoy your burger
	3:42pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @3:41 see ya later, Dan!
	3:54pm Sylvia: Hello Julie and all, sorry I’m jet lagged
	3:54pm Julie: hi Sylvia! Bet it's good to be back in your own bed though!
	3:55pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Claimstaker" by "Bjork" I love this Bjork album, it's like a return to her Classic Form.
	🦇 4:04pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "boys" by "flowerbomb" ❤‍🔥
	4:06pm chris in the redwoods: did anyone else just hear the doomsday clock get closer to midnight :(
	4:07pm chris in the redwoods: this music is all i need right now. thanks, Julie!
	4:08pm Julie: thanks Chris!
	4:17pm egould: Spooky whispered vocals 👍
	4:19pm ∫ydniuß: the call of Zabriskie
	4:19pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Dramatic Theme" by "Pink Floyd" "More" is a groovy album but the titles make it clear that the Floyd didn't exactly consider it a major project.
	4:20pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ hunterfelt @4:19 that gong was very expensive to get to Pompeii
	4:22pm Julie: hi ∫ydniuß!
	4:23pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Julie @4:22 let the ⭐️ flow Julie
	4:23pm chris in the redwoods: my brain may be playing tricks on me but i thought i heard a bit of Roky Erickson guitar influence in this Cure track.
	4:27pm Julie: I'm sure a lot of bands were influenced by him
	4:28pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "All Night" by "Low" The final two Low albums are masterpieces. R.I.P. Mimi Parker
	4:31pm Julie: ↳ Song: "2000 Miles" by "Deary" wait..is this a xmas song? OOPS
	🦇 4:32pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Julie @4:31 like it though
	4:32pm Julie: yeah I didn't realize this was the Chrissy Hynde song LOL
	4:32pm Julie: explains why it's a bonus track
	4:36pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Song: "Shadow Dance" by "Tremosphere" Tuning in just in time! Thank you, Julie!
	4:36pm Julie: hiya SMS!
	4:37pm hunterfelt: ↳ Julie @4:32 It turns it inside out, it's really great. So maybe it is a summer song now.
	4:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Shadow Dance" by "Tremosphere" Digging this!
	4:40pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:39 Thank you, Rich!
	4:41pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Shadow Dance" by "Tremosphere" This very much sounded like it came from a same place as the Low track.
	4:42pm Julie: ↳ hunterfelt @4:41 I thought it was a good pairing 🖤
	🦇 4:44pm Michael C St Lou: 😜😋
	4:46pm hunterfelt: ↳ Julie @4:42 100% Brilliant on your part!
	4:51pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ hunterfelt @4:41 We absolutely love them but very purposefully did not listen to "Hey What" until we were done with "Memoirs". We were working on the BPX "Forests" album at the time and that kinda of more experimental vibe found its way onto this particular track, I think...
	4:51pm egould: Robert Carlyle? Good actor. Fun show.
	4:53pm hunterfelt: ↳ Summer and Michael and Sylvia @4:51 That is very understandable! I do that with movies. I like to think of it as a Great Minds thing.
	4:55pm Julie: ↳ hunterfelt @4:46 they should've worked back to back but I guess I thought otherwise sticking that Deary tune in there
	4:56pm Julie: ↳ egould @4:51 ah he was in trainspotting AND full monty. I couldn't remember the name of the 2nd one
	4:57pm hunterfelt: ↳ Julie @4:55 They would have worked together back-to-back just fine, but the Deary cover was an amazing bridge between the two. It all came across as a single composition.
	5:06pm egould: ↳ Song: "Without You (2005 version)" by "Cosmicdust" The sky; it’s full of shoes. I gaze.
	5:06pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Without You (2005 version)" by "Cosmicdust" Wow this!
	5:07pm chris in the redwoods: well, shoot, gotta leave sooner than desired today. thanks for the great sounds, Julie! take care, everyone!
	5:07pm Julie: ↳ Bas NL @5:06 japan knows how to shoegaze
	5:07pm Julie: aww see ya Chris!
	5:09pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:07 I'll need to hear more of them! On 'wants' list.
	5:11pm love2laf: I too am exiting, but only the accu for cocktail hour, listening till the end. Wonderful selections today Julie, thank you. Cheers all you Dark Souls, keep your eyes on your shoes.
	5:11pm Julie: thanks L2L. Cheers!
	5:16pm TheDerek: Cleaning/Reorganizing studio. Show has been a great soundtrack for this endeavor
	5:17pm Julie: thanks Derek!
	5:17pm TheDerek: ↳ Julie @5:07 Angels in Heavy Syrup in particular. Love them!
	5:18pm Julie: ↳ TheDerek @5:17 I love them too but I haven't played them today
	5:19pm TheDerek: ↳ Julie @5:18 I know, just commenting on Japanese shoegaze
	5:19pm Julie: ↳ TheDerek @5:19 ohhhh okay!
	5:20pm Julie: ↳ TheDerek @5:19 didn't realize what that was a reply to !
	5:21pm TheDerek: ↳ Julie @5:20 😂Commenting by time signature
	5:24pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Breathe" by "Oatumn" Never heard of these folks, need to investigate further
	🦇 5:27pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Breathe" by "Oatumn" ❤‍🔥😜😋💦
	5:44pm Mxter Baba: shimmery glimmers in the dark night! hello, Julie and WFMUkins
	5:45pm Julie: hi there Mxter Baba!
	5:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mxter Baba @5:44 It's Mxter Baba! Howdy!
	5:54pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Rich in Washington @5:46 hey there, regional neighbor!
	5:54pm Julie: horny back toad!
	5:55pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Julie @5:54 howling old owl!
	6:00pm Rich in Washington: A pizza joint around where I grew up used to play the Pink Panther theme on the pipe organ while some hapless pizza employee would cavort about in a moth-eaten Pink Panther costume.
	6:02pm Julie: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:00 that's both funny and weird
	6:06pm A.J. MACHETE: ©1974
	6:07pm A.J. MACHETE: Ooh, he said "Ragina".
	6:08pm Julie: isn't that how they say the Canadian city? Regyna?
	6:09pm egould: Thank you for an afternoon of wonderful music, Julie. I gotta' make like a banana, and split.
	6:09pm Julie: see ya egould!
	6:11pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Julie @6:08 I didn't even know there was a Canadian city with that name. Are they close enough to border with Intercourse, PA? (joke)
	6:14pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "Seven Seas Of Rhye" by "Queen" now you’ve done it! this set was already revving me up, but anything from QII is MY JAM!!!!
	6:16pm Aitch: Hey Julie and crew.
	6:16pm Mxter Baba: YAHHHHH!!!!! MOTTTTTTT!!!!
	6:16pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:00 I approve
	6:16pm Julie: hiya Aitch!
	6:16pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "Roll Away The Stone" by "Mott the Hoople" I love the OGWT video of this
	6:17pm Dan S: ↳ Mxter Baba @6:16 I like 'em too, though maybe not quite so enthusiastically. :)
	6:18pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Dan S @6:17 it’s just the whole build up of this set is perfect
	6:19pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Mxter Baba @6:18 and it was TOTP: duck://player/yKmvTcSzcE8
	6:20pm Mxter Baba: 1974 FTW
	6:20pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Lilywhite Lilith" by "Genesis" I haven't heard this one, or anything from this album, in many a month. Love it.
	6:21pm Dan S: ↳ Mxter Baba @6:20 Ah yes, now I see. 50th anniversary. God, that's mind-boggling!
	6:22pm Mxter Baba: If I could beam back then to see Queen and Mott The Hoople LIVE!!!!
	6:22pm A.J. MACHETE: Wendy's belated b-day present.
	6:26pm Mxter Baba: 1974 I was in Kindy-garten
	6:27pm Mxter Baba: Revolution TikTok
	6:29pm Dan S: I think the Rolling Stones "liberated" the word "bitch" in 1971 with a song by that name. I THINK.
	6:30pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @6:29 did they play it on the radio?
	6:31pm Julie: some stations refused to play the elton song en.wikipedia.org...
	6:32pm Julie: when PIX in NYC doesn't play it...
	6:33pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Song: "Take a Little Trip" by "Minnie Riperton" Has anyone heard the version sung by Stevie Wonder? Deluxe version of Perfect Angel.
	6:33pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:30 I think it was played on the radio. A computer query seems to confirm that: en.wikipedia.org...
	6:34pm Bas NL: Can!
	6:34pm Mxter Baba: That 1974 set got me so excited I finally vacuumed my house just to burn off the energy!
	6:35pm Julie: ↳ Mxter Baba @6:34 that's awesome!
	6:36pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Dizzy Dizzy" by "Can" there is something T-rex-y about this
	6:36pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Dizzy Dizzy" by "Can" Good one!
	6:40pm Aitch: The Sweet Thing Candidate Sweet Think bit of D Dogs some of the best Bowie ever
	6:41pm Dean: During the early '70s, "Bitch" appeared on Billboard international charts and US college stations. In '74, Elton John's "The Bitch is Back" appeared on a Broadcasting chart of "top songs in air-play popularity in US radio."
	6:42pm Julie: so why did some stations refuse to play it?
	6:42pm Dean: Seems that the appearance of "Bitch" in jukeboxes (it was the flipside to "Brown Sugar") put pressure on radio stations to start playing it.
	6:43pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Dean @6:42 yay jukeboxes!!!!
	6:43pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:42 I'm pretty sure WNEW played it, and probably WPLJ too.
	6:45pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "A Really Good Time" by "Roxy Music" One of the racier album covers of the time.
	6:46pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @6:45 yeah I was just reading about how it was wrapped up in a lot of stores.
	6:47pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:46 That I can believe.
	6:47pm Dean: Assuming they did refuse to play it, I'd guess demographics was an important factor. College radio stations were cool with it. Non-US markets were cool with it. Mainstream Americans are hypocritical prudes. That, and the fact that it was a b-side.
	6:49pm Julie: I meant the elton song and I suppose it could be a well-publicized lie
	6:50pm chinn: Phantom of the Paradise! Bravo!
	6:50pm Julie: ↳ chinn @6:50 Hi chinn! LOVE LOVE that movie
	6:51pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "I Think of You" by "Renaissance" I loved Renaissance. Still do. Also, back then, I had a crush on Annie Haslam.
	6:51pm Julie: she still sounds amazing
	6:51pm Dean: Oh, gotcha. I don't find any extensive reporting on the Elton John track. It appears throughout 1974 on charts.
	6:53pm Dan S: OMG. Is it Cockney Rebel? Yes!!
	6:53pm Marshland: There were no issues with playing The Bitch is Back in the UK at the time.
	6:53pm Julie: Uk was cool with most things, all the puritans came here
	6:54pm Julie: what 1974 banger am I gonna end with?
	6:54pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Sweet Dreams" by "Cockney Rebel" This group was a favorite of me and a few friends when almost nobody over here had heard of them.
	6:55pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @6:54 new to me! yesterday!
	6:55pm Dan S: Could it be Abba? :)
	6:55pm Dean: In fact, in a 1977 interview with Buzz Bennett, he asks rhetorically, "Well, why does Elton John release 'The Bitch Is Back' and it gets played on every station in the country?" This is in response to a question about Johnny Guitar Watson's "Ain't That a Bitch?"
	6:56pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:55 Check out their album "The Human Menagerie" sometime.
	6:57pm Chuckz: This was a fun show - adding it to the list, thanks!
	6:57pm Marshland: Well the BBC did ban many songs, often incongruously. Sometimes they'd not ban stuff because the bosses didn't realise the slang sexual references...
	6:57pm Andrew: I love this song. It's the best Eurovision winner OAT. It doesn't matter that Napoleon didn't surrender at Waterloo.
	6:57pm Marshland: en.wikipedia.org...
	6:57pm Dan S: Julie, great show, and you've brightened my mood! Thanks ever so much!
	6:58pm JReganK: Thanks, Julie!
	6:58pm Bas NL: Thanks Julie! Great show!
	6:58pm Marshland: Above link is a list of banned songs on the BBC...
	6:58pm Yvang: Thanks Julie! I can't believe these songs are 50 years old.
	6:59pm hunterfelt: ↳ Song: "Lady Starlight" by "The Sweet" Great show Julie!
	6:59pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, Julie!
	6:59pm Dean: In July 1977, Paul Anka performed the Elton John tune on Home Box Office.
	6:59pm Julie: thanks so much everyone!!
	7:00pm Julie: ↳ Dean @6:59 hahahaha too funny. I do remember Tina doing it
