	12:05pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "This Perfect Day" by "The Saints" I bought this album originally just based on the cover. Had never heard of The Saints, but easily the best blind album buy I ever made.

	👻 12:07pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ clarke @12:06 snerk
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:06 the Martin Briley album where he is drowning in a motel room on the cover.
	12:08pm Gregosaurus: ↳ clarke @12:07 That IS a great album...haven't pulled it out in years.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Gregosaurus @12:08 i'm not even sure if i ever listened to the whole thang??
	👻 12:09pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Gregosaurus @12:08 I like how your avatar is keeping in time with this music.
	12:09pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:09 Can't go wrong with that dance.
	12:09pm medson: Hey Joe B and all.

	👻 12:12pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:06 Not quite exactly what you're asking but I'll buy any used LP in which the album art has been doctored up by a previous owner. Like The Who By Numbers with the dot-to-dot filled in or Aerosmith's Draw The Line with the band colored in with marker.
	12:12pm rich the greeb: Giving psych furs vibes
	👻 12:12pm emilyh: ↳ paul b @12:11 THAT'S what it was!!! thank you!

	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Artie @12:17 i know her, too!
	12:18pm drr: ↳ tim @12:12 I have a nice Isley Brothers "Showdown" on which Ronald sports a more Chaplin-esque than Hitler-esque toothbrush moustache. To be honest I didn't realize it was an addition when I bought it.
	12:18pm clarke: at the Living Room (RIP) on the lower east side, once, i saw THE SMITHS - it was ali smith, settly smith, and two other players named smith. it was great!

	12:29pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "It's Who You Know" by "X" Is this true? Probably.
	12:31pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "The Hungry Wolf" by "X" An urban fable across the ages...I think.
	👻 12:32pm emilyh: x brings back INSTANT memories of those years and i INSTANTLY fell for them first time i heard them

	12:36pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ emilyh @12:32 Me too. I watched them practice and though 'Hmm, these guys sound different.' Then I saw them play for reals and went 'Okay, I do believe they have what it takes.' I was right.

	12:41pm dale: was coming home and heard the name speedball baby in the car. had to come in and check....bought a couple of their things in the 90s and still have them kicking around somplace.
	12:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ emilyh @12:37 It took a few times. They were a work in progress, but they only got better and better. But they never let the pettiness of the scene hold them back.
	12:42pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "Too Many Creeps" by "Bush Tetras" banger
	👻 12:43pm emilyh: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:42 scene pettiness? YOU DON'T SAY sarcastic snort laughing here now
	👻 12:43pm TheDerek: ↳ emilyh @12:41 Actually confusing them with the AU PAIRS(had to look at the album to figure out the song) Same vibe & female musicians though, OOPS MY BAD

	👻 12:44pm emilyh: here's a nina hagen story: my intro to her was this verrrry interesting kinda quiet guy in my college dorm who played punk and loooved nina...and whose room was plastered with magazine pics of puppies and kittens. DISCONCERTING TO SAY THE LEAST.
	👻 12:45pm emilyh: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:43 i am not, though i did just have the BEST visit there last dec. SO MUCH FUN.
	👻 12:45pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Too Many Creeps" by "Bush Tetras" Robin Williams recalled a time John Belushi took him to an LA club to see this group.
	12:45pm clarke: well-written!!
	12:46pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "interview" by "Ali Smith" I'm stealing the eye-rolling gag!
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "interview" by "Ali Smith" Fabulous observant articulate Writing. Love it when this happens with these things we experience but don't express...

	12:49pm K8: Hi Joe and all! This interview with Ali is definitely making me want to buy and read her book!
	12:49pm johnk77: did exene read at book soup?
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ K8 @12:49 hey you! happy (late) anniv, etc!
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ K8 @12:49 Thought it might!
	👻 12:50pm tim: ↳ K8 @12:49 Hey K8!
	👻 12:50pm emilyh: pretend that i wrote something fabulous in here about growing up in the boonies and uber old-school catholic-straight and classical music and then realized upon moving someplace with FM radio that oh WOW WOW WOW WOMEN CAN SOUND LIKE THIS AND IT IS SOOO AWESOME
	👻 12:51pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ emilyh @12:50 My sister from another mister! I too am a brilliant mind permanently warped by Catholic education.
	👻 12:52pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Typical Girls" by "The Slits" I bought the documentary DVD but now it can be watched online: tubitv.com...
	👻 12:52pm tim: Who uses this Vivienne Goldman song as their bed music? Scott McDowell?
	12:53pm efd: ↳ tim @12:52 Liz Berg used to…
	12:54pm cheyenne: @tim Liz Berg used it! Also, Nina is a style icon but wrote a song about how HIV doesn’t cause AIDS and is kind of anti-trans, which breaks my heart.
	12:54pm Dan S: ↳ tim @12:52 I may start using it as bed music to do my laundry.
	👻 12:54pm tim: ↳ efd @12:53 Yes! Thanks, efd and cheyenne!
	12:55pm cheyenne: https://www.newsweek.com/hiv-disbelievers-158813
	👻 12:55pm TheDerek: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:51 You can put your Catholic education to use & practice HouDou
	👻 12:55pm emilyh: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:51 oh god YOU KNOW! (haha - at first i read that as sister from another MINISTER) :)
	👻 12:55pm tim: ↳ Dan S @12:54 Ha!
	12:56pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Die Young Stay Pretty" by "Blondie" It's way too late for that.
	12:56pm johnk77: clem burke is down to earth under most circumstances born in bayonne
	12:56pm efd: ↳ cheyenne @12:54 Cheyenne! Nice to see you, and share your disappointment in Nina H.
	👻 12:57pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ emilyh @12:55 It gets better. My mom force-fed me a steady diet of Neil Diamond, Kenny Rogers, John Denver, and Barry Manilow (not necessarily in that order). Not that I mind any of those artists, but it's not exactly a varied palate. My dad only listened to classical and Muzak.
	12:57pm Andres: Good afternoon, Joe and Ali. Tuned in from the road and loving it. I saw Speedball Baby open for Jon Spencer at the Phoenix in Toronto in the late 90s. The band was giving it their all. The Toronto crowd was living up to its reputation of being indifferent assholes to the opening band as per usual. Matt back home in Canada summed it up at the end declaring “This is one fucked up town!“. It was a perfect way to close.
	12:58pm johnk77: is there a book or site about shitting on support acts?
	👻 12:58pm emilyh: ↳ Song: "Die Young Stay Pretty" by "Blondie" the keys in this sound pretty extra excellent through headphones
	12:58pm cheyenne: @efd always a pleasure to see ya! Yeah, tough to separate the art from the artist… i def assumed she was pro-lgbt when Nina did such a killer masculine look in the Smack Jack vid!!
	12:59pm drr: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:57 Cat Stevens and John Denver for me. I didn't hate it.
	👻 1:00pm Hoboken Jack: Hi EFD, Cheyenne, David, Kate, Spikey!
	👻 1:00pm emilyh: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:57 lady: saturday mornings, we would awake to carpenters, ray conniff, anne murray, john denver...all side As. eventually to be flipped post-changer-drops to all B-sides. translation: WAKE UP IT'S HOUSECLEANING DAY WITH MOM'S HOUSECLEANING MUSIC.
	1:00pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ emilyh @12:50 Ah, Catholic girls! I was a public school kid, so I went to catechism after school. At first I balked, but my first day was a revelation. There were all these girls with short skirts and ratted hair, who were also been forced to drink from the fetid pond. After that, I was all in!
	👻 1:00pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ johnk77 @12:58 There is a song: "Opening Band" by Paul and Storm: We are the opening band We're only here to play six or seven songs Don't go too long And get the hell off the stage We don't got a whole lot of fans Nobody asks for our autograph And sad to say, as of today No panties have been thrown
	👻 1:01pm emilyh: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:00 waaait, you're really franco ZAPPA aren't you?!
	1:01pm Woo: I had to Pop-Up players going at once. Was wondering why everything sounded so weird.
	1:01pm Woo: ↳ Woo @1:01 *two
	👻 1:01pm emilyh: oh god, joe and ali chair dancing...SO COOL
	1:02pm bobobob: Millie Small
	👻 1:02pm tim: ↳ Song: "Miss Jamaica" by "Jimmy Cliff" Man, this ska Jimmy Cliff is dyn-o-mite!
	👻 1:02pm TheDerek: ↳ johnk77 @12:58 Being in an opening band has always been a pleasure & yes most audience do disregard the opening band, but part of my joy was opening for bands I liked & getting to meet them, in other capacities I never would have been able to meet
	1:02pm TerryB: Great show! Just bought the book, and one earlier one, online. Thanks so much Amy and Joe!
	1:04pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ emilyh @1:01 If you prefer - I WAS listening to We're Only In it For The Money and Axis Bold As Love while I was studying for my conformation. So there you go.
	👻 1:05pm emilyh: ↳ TheDerek @1:02 few things make me happier or more impressed than watching headliners out in the crowd watching their openers
	👻 1:05pm tim: ↳ Song: "interview" by "Ali Smith" Yes, it does. Sometimes it floods into our musical utopia.
	👻 1:05pm emilyh: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:04 TELL ME you wrote conformation by accident instead of confirmation. because that would be the GREATEST freudian slip evahhhh.
	👻 1:05pm TheDerek: ↳ emilyh @1:05 LUSH was notorious for that!
	1:06pm Woo: I was in a combo that opened for GG Allin in 1987. We were the opposite of GG Allin. The security guards threw things at us.
	👻 1:06pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ emilyh @1:05 Agreed!
	1:06pm Handy Haversack: Buy local! shop.wordbookstores.com...
	👻 1:06pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ emilyh @1:05 Like the time I spotted Nick Lowe peeking out from backstage to check out Alejandro Escovedo's set.
	👻 1:07pm tim: ↳ Woo @1:06 Potentially better than GG throwing things at you.
	1:07pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ emilyh @1:05 Dyslexic for life.
	👻 1:08pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:07 A dyslexic walks into a bra...
	1:08pm Woo: ↳ tim @1:07 There was a line in his contract that said if he stuck the mic up his ass he wouldn't get paid. And he did not and he got paid.
	1:08pm Deano de los Muertos: I weirdly gardened for Debbie Harry once..seemed down to earth to me, just private.
	1:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @1:08 HA! On a neighbors cloths line...
	👻 1:09pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @1:08 Hahaha!
	1:09pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Launderette" by "Vivien Goldman" Vivien - I bought her book at her McNally Jackson talk. She told us “I was talking w Peter Tosh and he was saying the most sexist things. His friends said ‘Peter, stop. She’s a journalist’ “. So funny
	1:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:09 SPG!
	1:10pm Billybob: ↳ cheyenne @12:54 I remember, in the 80s and 90s when I lived in San Francisco, that that belief had taken hold among some gays. There was a group called ACT UP (or something like that), which believed that AIDS was not caused by HIV. I forget their rationale. So, it's not like Hagen was anti-gay or anything.
	👻 1:10pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @1:08 Went to a show once in one of those places where you sit and order dinner and watch the act. DH was there. Poor thing was covered up in a hoodie, trying so hard not to be noticed.
	👻 1:10pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @1:08 Hahahaha! Can I steal that?
	👻 1:10pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:09 Hi Franco!
	1:10pm johnk77: peter tosh had some old testament ideas
	👻 1:10pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @1:10 What makes you think I didn't steal it?
	1:11pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Die Young Stay Pretty" by "Blondie" Props to Debby Harry for not dying young.
	👻 1:11pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @1:10 Haha!
	1:12pm Franco Twinkie: Get this - Kid Congo and I went to see Blondie at the Whisky a Go Go in 1977. Tom Petty opened the show.
	👻 1:12pm prof.fuzz: howdy y'all! monday lunch break in progress!
	1:13pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	👻 1:13pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:12 FuZZ!
	1:13pm johnk77: the whisky was the place back in the 20th century
	1:14pm Billybob: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:11 I saw some reaction video to Heart of Glass recently. The young host was diggin' her, and said "She must be in her 50s by now". I think she turns 80 next year, LOL.
	1:14pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ johnk77 @1:13 It was.
	👻 1:14pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:12 fuZZZball, baby!
	👻 1:14pm emilyh: cheryl, WHAT SHE'S SAYING NOW about growing up in the sticks!!!
	👻 1:15pm emilyh: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:12 howdy prof!
	👻 1:15pm emilyh: i just saw debbie harry in some GUCCI ads - total double-take
	👻 1:16pm TheDerek: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:12 must have been a label thing. My brother said one of the coolest concerts he saw was Stevie Ray Vaughn opening for the Pretenders. He was a fan of both but his college buddies were not & thought he was nuts
	1:16pm Jay From NH: Hey Joe, Check out my badges from 1996 where I saw Speedball Baby and others at CBGBs. imgur.com...
	👻 1:16pm emilyh: ↳ TheDerek @1:16 dang, i saw stevie ray open for DIRE STRAITS
	👻 1:17pm emilyh: ↳ Song: "Across 110th Street" by "Bobby Womack" so much love for this
	👻 1:17pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Across 110th Street" by "Bobby Womack" Great song.
	1:17pm bobob palindrome: We played at CBGB with our band Plasticland..but my girlfriend from the band Red Ball Jets turned me on to Nina Hagen...She's great ..both of them!!!!
	1:18pm Handy Haversack: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:17 Yeah. Someone else played it recently. Joe McG? Mary Wing? Sounds so good.
	👻 1:18pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Across 110th Street" by "Bobby Womack" "....the pushers wont let the junkies go free..."
	👻 1:18pm TheDerek: ↳ emilyh @1:16 That must have been an awesome concert!
	👻 1:18pm tim: ↳ Song: "Across 110th Street" by "Bobby Womack" After hearing Blowfly's Clinic On 110th Street, it took me forever to get his version out of my head whenever I heard this.
	1:20pm bobob: purkheiser ..lux birthday today
	👻 1:20pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Home Is Where the Hatred Is" by "Gil Scott-Heron" Phew... This song every single time...
	👻 1:21pm tim: ↳ Song: "Home Is Where the Hatred Is" by "Gil Scott-Heron" Yes! This is the jam right here!
	1:21pm herb.nyc: ↳ emilyh @1:15 Right. It was a nyt insert, a four pager. Heavily made up
	👻 1:21pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:12 Hey there Prof!
	👻 1:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:15 Hi. Retired early last night in ye olde pajama pants.
	1:21pm frenchee: ↳ Jason from Houston @1:20 came here to say pretty much the same thing
	1:22pm spodiodi: Greetings Joe B and all
	👻 1:22pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tim @1:21 Sounds great.
	👻 1:22pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ spodiodi @1:22 Hi Spodiodi!
	1:22pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TheDerek @1:16 Maybe. Punk was not the ghetto people like to pretend it was. Of course people in some bands talked smack about success, but that's because there was no way in hell they were going to get a chance to open for a group that was going to the top.
	1:24pm Jay From NH: JOE B! Here's some badges from Speedball Baby 1996 CBGBs. imgur.com... feel free to share.
	👻 1:24pm tim: I first got into Gil to check out hi raps like 'Revolution Won't Be Televised' but came to love his james like 'Home' or 'The Bottle' the best.
	1:24pm spodiodi: Hi SPG!
	1:27pm johnk77: gil 1 of the best fender rhodes players
	👻 1:27pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "interview" by "Ali Smith" This interview is so interesting.
	👻 1:29pm prof.fuzz: hi clarkEEEEE! cheryl! tim! emily! jack! et al.!
	1:29pm Jay From NH: ↳ Song: "interview" by "Ali Smith" Question: Do you remember CMJ 96 2am show at CBGBs? I don't but I was there. :)
	👻 1:29pm TheDerek: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:22 Oddly enough we opened for the COWS, who were sweet as can be & 2 of their members asked for our demo. I wasn't a fan going into that show but they were great live & one the best shows I played
	1:30pm Billybob: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:22 That reminds me of when I read an early interview with Bono, railing against rock superstardom and vehemently insisted he never wanted to become like that.
	1:34pm clarke: ↳ TheDerek @1:29 real cows did not smell as bad as The Cows!
	👻 1:35pm Will thee SG OCNY: Been listening to the whole show. Diggin the music and talk!
	👻 1:36pm tim: Ali needs to co-host Joe again! These guys are hilarious together! (and by themselves too - haha!)

	1:38pm Handy Haversack: Eat the rich!
	1:38pm clarke: ha ha! great characterizations!
	1:38pm Dave V: This is so great.

	1:39pm BOB: REPO DEPOT
	👻 1:39pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Pablo Picasso" by "Modern Lovers" Picasso DID get called an asshole. Maybe not to his face.
	👻 1:41pm tim: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:39 I always think "that might be true but I'm sure he was called everything else" - haha!
	1:41pm BOB: "plate of shrimp"

	1:45pm clarke: ↳ winston legthigh @1:44 world series.
	1:45pm Steve Harsh: SLF - Jake Burns
	1:46pm Lewis: one of my biggest impact on one of my students involved openness about depression...

	1:48pm clarke: ↳ winston legthigh @1:48 don't have a dog in the hunt, but will be watching!
	1:53pm Handy Haversack: I'm glad to get to see more Ohtani -- and super excited for the Yanks to win it all! That ALCS was so stressful. But I'm ready! I took advantage while canoeing past Yankee Stadium on Saturday to remind it: "They call it the World Series. But it's usually played here." I think that helped.
	👻 1:53pm tim: ↳ Song: "interview" by "Ali Smith" For some reason, I didn't listen to Speedball Baby. I'm not sure why seeing as I was into bands that they shared labels with. This sounds pretty dang cool!
	1:54pm WO Town Wick: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:48 ha, good point

	1:55pm WO Town Wick: Great interview JB. Feel like I'm eavesdropping on a convo between 2 funny friends who have great stories. She's lived some life. I'll get the book.
	1:56pm clarke: don't give up, Ali!
	👻 1:57pm tim: ↳ clarke @1:55 D'oh! There's a band out there called The Moron's Moron. That bandname really speaks to me.
	1:57pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:57 at least you know they exist.
	1:57pm clarke: ↳ Song: "High on a Mountain Top" by "Blood Oranges" good rekkid!
	👻 1:58pm Bklyn_Dutch: Great interview, Joe! Looks like I need to go find Ali Smith's book. Thanks gang!
	👻 1:59pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: ↳ Song: "High on a Mountain Top" by "Blood Oranges" I wish I got to see this band - and Cheri Knight - live. In fact, I prefer her solo records to her work with Blood Oranges.
	2:00pm clarke: parents should listen first before playing for your kids.
	2:00pm Lewis: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @1:58 indeed!
	👻 2:01pm emilyh: wait, did i miss a van morrison cover?! TB SHEETS?!?

	2:03pm morphe': ↳ efd @2:01 Yes if she cannot come in like Jime Price everyday for a minute and do the ID...... let us at least get a tape loop..
	2:06pm alanSixº: hey everybody
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ winston legthigh @2:03 Ugh, the Jets. I can't even. Congrats to the Liberty!
	2:07pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:06 did the Nets win, at least??
	2:07pm Mick: This show/conversation has been brilliant - Thank you Joe/Ali!! In other news, I am bummed about the Mets, but recognize that most of the country (I feel like everywhere west of New Jersey) will be much more interested in Yanks/Dodgers than a Subway Series. And: Yay Liberty!
	👻 2:08pm tim: Oof, pink champale! I'm more of a champipple kid of guy.
	2:08pm Listener Jumpy in New York: Paul Corio was in the Vacant Lot.
	2:08pm clarke: ↳ Mick @2:07 i'm not so sure about that, but the last subway series was such a lopsided affair, people are wary.
	👻 2:09pm winston legthigh: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:06 life in the AFC least is easy for the bills.
	2:09pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Mick @2:07 You are correct, sir!

	2:10pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:09 there he's goes!

	2:12pm TVP: ↳ tim @2:08 I remember on one of the Glen Jones shows a while back, the Broad talking about growing up in the shadow of the Champale factory in Trenton.
	2:12pm clarke: tremelo speed UP
	👻 2:12pm tim: ↳ TVP @2:12 Nice!
	👻 2:14pm tim: I just looked up Speedball Baby on disco-gs. I like that they started on a major label then went to the minors for the rest of their records! My kind of career trajectory!
	2:15pm clarke: rejectory!
	👻 2:15pm emilyh: ↳ tim @2:14 i was just thinking of jon spencer while listening to them
	👻 2:16pm emilyh: now pondering: what will it take to have long gone reissue sympathy records
	👻 2:17pm tim: ↳ emilyh @2:15 For sure! The guitarist went on to be in Heavy Trash with Jon.
	2:17pm clarke: it's all hill-country blues
	👻 2:19pm Bklyn_Dutch: The Schmoots!
	2:19pm cristinap: oh crap I remember when that happened w rye coalition but didn't know it was like that <3 kearny bands

	2:24pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:23 like to read that, too!
	2:26pm clarke: hello, cousin! [city mouse voice]
	2:27pm Bizco Bey: Some of my best friends are hicks
	2:28pm Franco Twinkie: L.A. is a pool of quicksand. Just like NYC, it eats the unsuspecting for lunch. At this very moment, the hopeful are wetting their pants to get a break. What are the odds? At least the record industry is in the junkyard. But as the giants fall, ruthless young scavengers are waiting to take their place. There! take that, all you little lambs!
	2:29pm clarke: wow, powerful stuff, there!
	👻 2:29pm emilyh: ↳ tim @2:17 well WOW! COOOOL!
	2:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Ali Smith" Again: This Writing is a pleasure.
	👻 2:30pm winston legthigh: that was beautiful, thank you ali.
	2:30pm spodiodi: more great interview/ insights/ stories
	2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:30 ...a great sort of Kerouac mediation between Anecdote & Reflection. Some people's Prose is more Poetic like that than others' supposed 'Poetry'...
	2:31pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Frankenstein" by "Subsonics" ATL!
	👻 2:32pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Frankenstein" by "Subsonics" I like this Frankenstein guy

	2:38pm morphe': Thanks Joey BeeLock and Ali Smith and all !!! listening from the kitchen ...
	2:39pm clarke: there were THREE different locations for Fort Apache, actually, but Speedball was in the third and final location in somerville.
	2:40pm clarke: hmm.. i saw the Subsonics just as a duo. no bass.
	2:42pm Bizco Bey: Is a speedball baby a cross between a smack baby and a crack baby?
	2:43pm bobob Plasticland: Clay and Buffi here in Atlanta...yeah!!!Tiger Tiger
	2:43pm chuck friendly: Saw them at Coney Island High

	12:05pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "This Perfect Day" by "The Saints" I bought this album originally just based on the cover. Had never heard of The Saints, but easily the best blind album buy I ever made.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ bobobob @12:05 talk about a cardiac win!

	👻 12:12pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:06 Not quite exactly what you're asking but I'll buy any used LP in which the album art has been doctored up by a previous owner. Like The Who By Numbers with the dot-to-dot filled in or Aerosmith's Draw The Line with the band colored in with marker.

	12:53pm efd: ↳ tim @12:52 Liz Berg used to…
	12:54pm cheyenne: @tim Liz Berg used it! Also, Nina is a style icon but wrote a song about how HIV doesn’t cause AIDS and is kind of anti-trans, which breaks my heart.
	12:54pm Dan S: ↳ tim @12:52 I may start using it as bed music to do my laundry.

	👻 12:57pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ emilyh @12:55 It gets better. My mom force-fed me a steady diet of Neil Diamond, Kenny Rogers, John Denver, and Barry Manilow (not necessarily in that order). Not that I mind any of those artists, but it's not exactly a varied palate. My dad only listened to classical and Muzak.
	12:57pm Andres: Good afternoon, Joe and Ali. Tuned in from the road and loving it. I saw Speedball Baby open for Jon Spencer at the Phoenix in Toronto in the late 90s. The band was giving it their all. The Toronto crowd was living up to its reputation of being indifferent assholes to the opening band as per usual. Matt back home in Canada summed it up at the end declaring “This is one fucked up town!“. It was a perfect way to close.
	12:58pm johnk77: is there a book or site about shitting on support acts?
	👻 12:58pm emilyh: ↳ Song: "Die Young Stay Pretty" by "Blondie" the keys in this sound pretty extra excellent through headphones
	12:58pm cheyenne: @efd always a pleasure to see ya! Yeah, tough to separate the art from the artist… i def assumed she was pro-lgbt when Nina did such a killer masculine look in the Smack Jack vid!!

	1:00pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ emilyh @12:50 Ah, Catholic girls! I was a public school kid, so I went to catechism after school. At first I balked, but my first day was a revelation. There were all these girls with short skirts and ratted hair, who were also been forced to drink from the fetid pond. After that, I was all in!
	👻 1:00pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ johnk77 @12:58 There is a song: "Opening Band" by Paul and Storm: We are the opening band We're only here to play six or seven songs Don't go too long And get the hell off the stage We don't got a whole lot of fans Nobody asks for our autograph And sad to say, as of today No panties have been thrown
	👻 1:01pm emilyh: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:00 waaait, you're really franco ZAPPA aren't you?!

	1:02pm TerryB: Great show! Just bought the book, and one earlier one, online. Thanks so much Amy and Joe!
	1:04pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ emilyh @1:01 If you prefer - I WAS listening to We're Only In it For The Money and Axis Bold As Love while I was studying for my conformation. So there you go.
	👻 1:05pm emilyh: ↳ TheDerek @1:02 few things make me happier or more impressed than watching headliners out in the crowd watching their openers
	👻 1:05pm tim: ↳ Song: "interview" by "Ali Smith" Yes, it does. Sometimes it floods into our musical utopia.
	👻 1:05pm emilyh: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:04 TELL ME you wrote conformation by accident instead of confirmation. because that would be the GREATEST freudian slip evahhhh.
	👻 1:05pm TheDerek: ↳ emilyh @1:05 LUSH was notorious for that!
	1:06pm Woo: I was in a combo that opened for GG Allin in 1987. We were the opposite of GG Allin. The security guards threw things at us.

	👻 1:08pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:07 A dyslexic walks into a bra...
	1:08pm Woo: ↳ tim @1:07 There was a line in his contract that said if he stuck the mic up his ass he wouldn't get paid. And he did not and he got paid.
	1:08pm Deano de los Muertos: I weirdly gardened for Debbie Harry once..seemed down to earth to me, just private.
	1:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @1:08 HA! On a neighbors cloths line...
	👻 1:09pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @1:08 Hahaha!
	1:09pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Launderette" by "Vivien Goldman" Vivien - I bought her book at her McNally Jackson talk. She told us “I was talking w Peter Tosh and he was saying the most sexist things. His friends said ‘Peter, stop. She’s a journalist’ “. So funny
	1:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:09 SPG!
	1:10pm Billybob: ↳ cheyenne @12:54 I remember, in the 80s and 90s when I lived in San Francisco, that that belief had taken hold among some gays. There was a group called ACT UP (or something like that), which believed that AIDS was not caused by HIV. I forget their rationale. So, it's not like Hagen was anti-gay or anything.
	👻 1:10pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @1:08 Went to a show once in one of those places where you sit and order dinner and watch the act. DH was there. Poor thing was covered up in a hoodie, trying so hard not to be noticed.

	1:14pm Billybob: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:11 I saw some reaction video to Heart of Glass recently. The young host was diggin' her, and said "She must be in her 50s by now". I think she turns 80 next year, LOL.

	👻 1:16pm TheDerek: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:12 must have been a label thing. My brother said one of the coolest concerts he saw was Stevie Ray Vaughn opening for the Pretenders. He was a fan of both but his college buddies were not & thought he was nuts

	👻 1:18pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Across 110th Street" by "Bobby Womack" "....the pushers wont let the junkies go free..."
	👻 1:18pm TheDerek: ↳ emilyh @1:16 That must have been an awesome concert!

	👻 1:22pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ spodiodi @1:22 Hi Spodiodi!
	1:22pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TheDerek @1:16 Maybe. Punk was not the ghetto people like to pretend it was. Of course people in some bands talked smack about success, but that's because there was no way in hell they were going to get a chance to open for a group that was going to the top.
	1:24pm Jay From NH: JOE B! Here's some badges from Speedball Baby 1996 CBGBs. imgur.com... feel free to share.

	👻 1:29pm TheDerek: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:22 Oddly enough we opened for the COWS, who were sweet as can be & 2 of their members asked for our demo. I wasn't a fan going into that show but they were great live & one the best shows I played
	1:30pm Billybob: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:22 That reminds me of when I read an early interview with Bono, railing against rock superstardom and vehemently insisted he never wanted to become like that.
	1:34pm clarke: ↳ TheDerek @1:29 real cows did not smell as bad as The Cows!

	1:53pm Handy Haversack: I'm glad to get to see more Ohtani -- and super excited for the Yanks to win it all! That ALCS was so stressful. But I'm ready! I took advantage while canoeing past Yankee Stadium on Saturday to remind it: "They call it the World Series. But it's usually played here." I think that helped.
	👻 1:53pm tim: ↳ Song: "interview" by "Ali Smith" For some reason, I didn't listen to Speedball Baby. I'm not sure why seeing as I was into bands that they shared labels with. This sounds pretty dang cool!

	2:07pm Mick: This show/conversation has been brilliant - Thank you Joe/Ali!! In other news, I am bummed about the Mets, but recognize that most of the country (I feel like everywhere west of New Jersey) will be much more interested in Yanks/Dodgers than a Subway Series. And: Yay Liberty!
	👻 2:08pm tim: Oof, pink champale! I'm more of a champipple kid of guy.
	2:08pm Listener Jumpy in New York: Paul Corio was in the Vacant Lot.
