	11:20am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:20am Handy Haversack: Any insight out there on whether joining AARP is actually worth anything? Asking for a MUCH older (though still virile and handsome!) friend.
	11:20am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Get It In the End" by "Benny Trokan" Benny is fantastic.
	11:20am Joe Castrianni: Benny is a friend of the station. He has been a member of the Jay Vons and Reigning Sound. He is also currently the bass player in Spoon.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:19 will have to archive that show, Frank! sorry i missed it.
	11:20am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:20 Yes, but he wasn't 67 last time you heard it.
	11:21am newton: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 they do have a very good secondary policy that makes up for most of medicare's deficiencies.

	11:24am egould: ↳ Song: "Don't Shut Me Out" by "Matchbox" Number one hit.
	11:24am ken verona: Looking forward to Shel Talmy tribute. Legend has it that at the session for You Really Got Me, Shel told Dave Davies that he should just sound like he was going crazy.
	11:25am clarke: squints covers bread - with Parkay!
	11:25am Gerry from Miami: SHEL TALMY passed away? Where would we be without "You Really Got Me," "My Generation," or "Friday On My Mind?" I am weeping!
	11:26am Squints: ↳ Song: "Running Drunk" by "Eddie Bond" This begs for Bill Kirchen to cover it if he hasn't already.
	11:26am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Running Drunk" by "Eddie Bond" How timely! www.npr.org...
	11:26am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:25 Nuttin' but buttah.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:26 i would imagine that bill knows EVERY bond tune.
	11:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Michael & all!
	11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:26 I certainly watched it while drinking: www.wfmu.org...
	11:27am clarke: HELLO GREGORY!!
	11:28am Frank In Queens: Been mulling over the increase intake of alcohol or the complete elimination of it for the same reasons.
	11:28am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 As one does.
	11:28am johnk77: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/nov/15/shel-talmy-dies-producer-who-kinks-david-bowie uk guardian obit still no nytimes obit for shel talmy:<
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:28 when i stopped drinking, the songs came pouring out of me.
	11:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:26 clarke, I read that new R.E.M. biography and got so into it that I dug out this other R.E.M. biography I'd found for $2 at a thrift store in rural western Michigan and am now reading that and am honestly a little scared that I can read only R.E.M. biographies now. We're gonna need more R.E.M. biographies.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:29 maybe one of them will get it right!
	11:30am chresti: I switched to herbs re:alcohol
	11:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:28 When the doctor or well-meaning friends advise taking a few days off per week from drinking, I always ask whether the goddamn world will take a few days off each week from being a miserable tire fire of cruelty and greed. The debate is ongoing.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 columbus day weekend.
	11:31am Jim from Tranquility: Mike I went to Marty Stuart Wednesday night too. I stopped in at O’Reily’s and had three more beers than I’ve had in the last four months Really enjoyed the show.
	11:32am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 An unstoppable force vs an immovable object
	11:32am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:29 Not sure I ever want to write. If we're supposed to write what we know, I don't ever wanna write about it. I don't even sing that one line in Dead Flowers. (To the point where at the open mics it's become a running gag; the fellas know exactly where to stop cold for a second.) But I make it a point to sing that other line in Outfit twice.
	11:32am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Baby Blues" by "JD McPherson" I love JD, but the man keeps writing the same melody over and over
	11:33am Pedro in Arlington: ↳ johnk77 @11:28 Times needed the room for a column on why a whack vaccine denier might not be wrong on a few things.
	11:33am chresti: ↳ chresti @11:30 of the psychoactive variety
	11:33am clarke: ass=tro physics.
	11:33am Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 My compromise is that I don't hardly drink when I don't go out. So I get a couple or three dry days a week.
	11:34am Squints: ↳ chresti @11:30 Is Herb's the name of the local packie?
	11:34am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:32 it's not like i didn't have ideas, when drinking, but i didn't follow thru on anything.
	11:35am Squints: ↳ Jim from Tranquility @11:31 Going to see Marty Stuart in March in Myrtle with my brother and sister.
	11:35am Pedro in Arlington: Go Cats. Whatever.
	11:35am luka: Michael, did you take any of my pizza recommendations
	11:35am Moammar: Mortifying?
	11:35am egould: All this talk of drinking is making me thirsty. I think some Bushmill’s would go nicely in this chai latté.
	11:36am clarke: twiddler!!
	11:36am Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @11:35 Finishing off my brunchtail before getting down to some housework.
	11:36am egould: Did you get to the Chicago Music Exchange?
	11:37am Squints: ↳ egould @11:35 Bushmill's is a fine product. Even if it is made by (I think) those orange f---s. A naaaaaation once again..... I kid. Mostly. 5th generation. Ain't my quarrel.
	11:37am clarke: Baby !!!
	11:37am egould: Hey Baby!
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Baby on the radio!
	11:38am clarke: The Voice Of America!!
	11:38am jpuva: That is interesting. We went to see Second City Improv a couple years ago with our kids who were in high school at the time, and I don't think that we ever laughed more than on that night. I guess it's how you hit it.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: ↳ jpuva @11:38 It's improv, so I imagine it can be very hit or miss.
	11:39am San Pedro Girl: Hi Michael and all.
	11:39am misterdavid: Amen, facts. Praise to this massive wine merchant
	11:39am jpuva: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:38 very true
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Baby has been deliberately vague about what he's going to do tonight, so I'm dying to hear this.
	11:41am clarke: B-Minus!
	11:41am egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:36 Finish your brunchtail. Pour a pre-supper tipple. Have a nice Saturday.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ egould @11:41 i heartily concue, btw!
	11:42am clarke: -concur
	11:42am Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @11:41 This is the Way.
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Tag team effort to hit the post!
	11:43am egould: Professional radio announcing. Well done, boys.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: I think we'll be home between parties for Drop-In time. We'll tune in if at all possible, Baby. Well done!
	11:43am clarke: the russian judge is confuse.
	11:43am Gerry from Miami: @SQUINTS. Does it really matter to you who makes your distilled products? Based on politics or religion of the country of manufacture. War is hell! So let's just have another shot or two for old time's sake!
	11:44am A2B: Good Morning, Michael & No. 1 Hitters! Bob Brainen does not seem to be braoadcasting on his Drummer Stream program, as he usually does at this time. Anyone have any idea what's going on on that front? Wondering and fearing the worst, but hoping there's no reason for those fears.
	11:45am Hoboken Jack: Congrats BABY!!!
	11:45am Listener Baby: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:45 Thanks Jack!
	11:45am Handy Haversack: And speaking of Rock and Soul Stream news, listener and volunteer extraordinaire Yerfriendpaul has a new show on Thursday mornings. Check out the first episode if you missed it (after Michael, of course)! wfmu.org...
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:45 hi jack!
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:43 Not especially. Like I said, I kid. There's a lot of good natured ribbing between me and some of the Brits at my dive when the rugby comes on.
	11:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ A2B @11:44 Well, still listed on the main sched., so hopefully just taking a day off? wfmu.org...
	11:47am clarke: everytime i hear shel's voice - it gets me that he is not british. always forget.
	11:47am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:45 I'm a Snoopy's Christmas kind of guy when it comes to what I drink and whom with.
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:47 Wow! I never heard him before? Not British??? I'm plotzing.
	11:48am Hughie Considine: Even his name sounds British. I'm sure I knew he was American at one point.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 it's weird, right?
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:48 yeah, i know it ALL the time! but still....
	11:49am Frank In Queens: ↳ A2B @11:44 Technical difficulties? It happens with the streams sometime.
	11:49am clarke: The Ox.
	11:49am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:49 My man!
	11:50am Michael Shelley: ↳ Jim from Tranquility @11:31 I was at ORilleys too!
	11:50am egould: ↳ Song: "My Generation" by "Who, The" Whatever happened to these guys?
	11:50am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:32 yup
	11:50am Hughie Considine: Woah! The broken bass string story -- debunked!!
	11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ egould @11:50 They faded away
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:49 yer ox!
	11:50am myron feld: ↳ Song: "My Generation" by "Who, The" A friend recently acquired one of John Entwistle's basses: a '66 Precision with a slab body (as opposed to contoured) for all the musos here. And there.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:50 wow!!!
	11:51am Michael Shelley: ↳ luka @11:35 Filed away - but I was out voted on this trip!
	11:52am Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @11:50 🤯
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:51 get any street dogs??
	11:52am A2B: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:49 That's my hope. He didn't make any announcement last week about taking the following week off.
	11:52am Hughie Considine: My mom loved John Entwistle's version of "Mr. Bass Man."
	11:54am egould: ↳ myron feld @11:50 Will your friend play it? Or is it going to be in a trophy case?
	11:55am Richard 111: ↳ A2B @11:52 Bob's playlist page says: "November 16, 2024: Sorry folks, no show today. See you next Saturday with more freeform and more early Motown!"
	11:55am clarke: hmm... was Jo Stafford in the Pied Pipers???
	11:55am myron feld: ↳ egould @11:54 He plays it. I got to play it as well. Pretty neat playing "I Can't Explain" on it.
	11:55am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Cindy" by "Jo Stafford" Baby. If this a country song, which I agree it is. Then that Tennessee Earnie song is too. Okay?
	11:56am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Cindy" by "Jo Stafford" Sublime
	11:56am Listener Baby: Ernie
	11:56am Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @11:55 Man, I'd love to track a song using an instrument like that.
	11:57am egould: ↳ myron feld @11:55 History running through those strings and up your arm and brain.
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 joey spampinato once loaned me his (silvertone) bass to track a xmas tune.
	11:58am myron feld: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 You and me both, pal!
	12:00pm egould: ↳ Song: "Robot In A Robot's World" by "Ed Maciel e Sua Orq... #0.8 hit!
	12:00pm A2B: ↳ Richard 111 @11:55 At least it's good to know he's still hanging in there healthwise! Thanks!
	12:00pm myron feld: ↳ egould @11:57 Yeah, as cornball as it sounds, I felt it. "John <expletive> Entwistle owned and played this bass!"
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:58 Awesome
	12:01pm Moammar: Once again protesting the AI bumpers.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:00 unfortunately, it was during the time of 4-tracks and i didn't record it properly. but still...
	12:02pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:01 How was the tone on a Silvertone bass? Because Silvertone guitars…
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:02 did you ever see NRBQ? THAT tone!
	12:03pm StuartR: ↳ Song: "Saying Goodbye" by "Muffs, The" Kim, Melanie et al !
	12:04pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:03 Never saw NRBQ. But I’ll take your word. :-)
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:04 or most of their records.
	12:05pm Marie in Chicago: Howdy!
	12:05pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:38 It seemed like fake improv to me... mostly worked out skits with some Mad-Lib style suggestions thrown in
	12:06pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:04 If only there was a DJ at WFMU that played NRBQ regularly….
	12:06pm clarke: mad-libs, ha ha ha. wow. memories.
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Melanie Vammen" very nice!!
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:06 Our Mad Libs got darker as our vocabularies improved.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:08 "improved"
	12:09pm luka: i know what it’s like to lose a friend like this. may everyone.
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:08 Adverb - Fu*kily
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:09 improved
	12:10pm A2B: ↳ egould @12:06 The person I mentioned above is about as close as you'll ever get here on this station.
	12:10pm luka: that’s twice FMU has mad me cry today.
	12:11pm egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:10 Hahaha!
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:10 ha ha ha!
	12:11pm MarciB: I'm a photo manager and a FMU fan - and preserving a legacy like Kim's is really important - and I especially LOVE that it's preserved in print!
	12:12pm egould: ↳ A2B @12:10 Yes. Bob Brainen plays a lot of NRNQ.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:12 hey, how was gulfport??
	12:13pm egould: Kim had such a great rock n roll voice. And rock n roll stage presence.
	12:14pm A2B: ↳ egould @12:12 He's done NRBQ-related "One Hour With.." features on his show, at least you've got that!
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: ↳ egould @12:12 I had seen NRBQ records but never really listened until Bob Brainen played "Smackeroo" (followed by the Meters' "Chicken Strut") in 1985 or so. I think he holds the FMU record for NRBQ plays, the silver medal going to Michael, of course.
	12:14pm rx "rexy" scabin: I was going to go see if there are poachers on our land, but an interview will make that wait.
	12:15pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:13 Gulfport was good. I was there for work, which went well. And crab boil for dinner. And oysters at Half Shell. And steaks at Mary Mahoney’s.
	12:16pm efd: Lovely interview, and thanks for the Sherri shout-out!
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:15 nice - you know it is just like about an hour away from nola - if traffic is right??
	12:16pm Corey: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Melanie Vammen" Moving stuff. Heavy but uplifting. Thanks, Michael and Melanie for the conversation.
	12:17pm slocker: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
	12:17pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:16 Yes. And next year, when this job pops on the schedule, we’re going to stay in NO for the month of November.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:17 very good, then!!
	12:20pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Blueberry Crumble" by "Coolies, The" sweet
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: Great talk, MS, thanks.
	12:22pm clarke: there's also the doc Session Man that is coming out, soon - about nicky hopkins!
	12:23pm rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I will set see you soon.
	12:23pm rx "rexy" scabin: Seevnot set.
	12:23pm clarke: l8r RX!!
	12:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: Goog God, listen to those drums!
	12:25pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hi all.
	12:25pm listener phat in Lincoln: Who knew the Sundowners would have a revelatory drum sound.
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: That kick drum was 50 feet wide.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:25 hal blaine knew
	12:27pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:05 Okay, that does sound pretty awful.
	12:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:26 I wondered if it was him.
	12:27pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:18 We were planning on hanging out in NO back in March. But then my wife’s father passed on Feb 29, and my mom passed two weeks later. So we spent the next couple of months flying between Seattle, Los Angeles, and Indianapolis for family stuff, memorials, etc. So maybe we’ll try NO in March again.
	12:28pm Scott from Boston: Big Elvis fan… Some of my favorite songs, the goofy ones from his movies… Particularly Roustabout
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:27 sorry to hear that, but i remember.
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: "The long legged women who will take you for a trimmin'"
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:29 it happens.
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: Glad I tuned in! I got sidetracked and came in late.
	12:30pm clarke: i got a little jontavious last nite.
	12:31pm clarke: fuckily, it didn't last!
	12:32pm egould: ↳ Song: "Keep Your Worries On The Dancefloor" by "Jontavio... This is the song JD McPherson is trying to write.
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:31 The adverb that's sweepin' the nation!
	12:33pm clarke: i just realized that i have been listening to this show for a LONG time!!
	12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ egould @12:32 Yes! He gets close!
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 jontaviious?
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:33 Time creeps up on ya
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:34 you ain't kiddin'!
	12:37pm DG: I see some comments on New Orleans here, so I'll just add: we just got back from there a few days ago (had a family wedding) & I'd recommend visiting the WWII museum, as well as a (new?) Jazz Museum, which had Louis Armstrong's cornet, & an exhibit devoted to Louisiansa blues/funk, etc. Wasn't our first visit so we skipped Preservation Hall & didn't have much time for clubs, etc. but had a great burger at Saint John's (named for Mac Rebennack), did a 2nd line from the wedding at Music Box Village to Vaughn's Lounge on St. Charles, & shopped around Royal for awhile. Too bad the weather rarely cooperated (raining & overcast for about half the time).
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ DG @12:37 it's gorgeous here, today!! Pres Hall is closed temporarily to get A/C!
	12:40pm ?: Yeah, Tenafly’s own! I have all her records.
	12:40pm Hubig Pie: ↳ DG @12:37 Has Vaughn's relocated from Dauphine at Lesseps to Uptown?
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:40 no, i think there was a comma missing, ha ha ha
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:40 i had to read that twice
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: Nobody uses "needle" as in "to annoy" anymore, but i was a useful expression. I can still hear my grandfather saying, "Stop needlin' ya sister."
	12:44pm clarke: have you all checked out Fats with The Byrds backing him (on the youtube) - INSANE!!
	12:45pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Have You Seen My Baby?" by "Fats Donimo" Mostly know this from The Rumour's version, on...Purity of Essence...?
	12:45pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "My Idaho Home" by "Carolyn Mark" Carolyn dreamed up and realized that V/A Tribute to Robert Altman's 'Nashville' and it's a corker!
	12:45pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Have You Seen My Baby?" by "Fats Donimo" This Fats Domino track says a lot about Ringo's singing style.
	12:47pm Commenter: Michael - about sunshine pop - on the Rock n Soul stream there is "Come to the Sunshine" with Andrew Sandoval. He is heavy into sunshine pop (although the show has a good variety of mid 60's-early 70's stuff). Maybe ask him about sunshine pop?
	12:47pm drr: ↳ StringOFperils @12:45 Flamin' Groovies for me, but I'd like to hear The Rumour do it.
	12:47pm DanFA: What is the best Muffs album to start with?
	12:47pm Dano59: ↳ Commenter @12:47 is this one of those endless quandaries of definition ... like 'popcorn'?
	12:48pm Dano59: (or "power pop")
	12:48pm Dano59: ↳ DanFA @12:47 I like Happy Birthday to Me, but really any of them. The "Hamburger" compilation gathers a lot of their later stuff.
	12:49pm clarke: hard to pick ONE.
	12:49pm drr: ↳ DanFA @12:47 Blonder and Blonder, no question.
	12:50pm Spikey BXL: Lovely interview earlier, thanks for that!
	12:50pm Michael Shelley: ↳ DanFA @12:47 debut
	12:50pm DanFA: ↳ Dano59 @12:48 Happy Birthday is available on Hoopla, so I'll start there. As is Blonder and Blonder, drr.
	12:50pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Hold My Hand" by "Rutles, The" I still think "I Must Be In Love" is THE Number One Hit from that record.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:49 is that the yellow-ish one? yeah. that one.
	12:50pm DG: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:40 It's right off of Lesseps, on Dauphine. Still kinda dive-y but fun....we didn't stay long since the DJ was LOUD & we'd already had enough food & alcohol.
	12:50pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Commenter @12:47 His show always kills
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ DG @12:50 i would go there more, but no one really ever plays there, anymore.
	12:51pm Dano59: ↳ drr @12:47 Tommy Keene also did it...
	12:51pm egould: ↳ drr @12:49 Yes.
	12:51pm John L: ↳ DanFA @12:47 Blonde and Blonder was my gateway and remains my fave. The cd has some great extra tracks, too. Their debut would be my second choice.
	12:52pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Orbit" by "Thundermug" WOW!!
	12:52pm DG: ↳ Dano59 @12:48 I got a lot of promo stuff from WB & their related labels in the '90s, & I think I had "Happy Birthday"...didn't know them at the time & think I gave it away before we moved....I really regret it now.
	12:52pm drr: ↳ DanFA @12:50 I found a battered pile of mostly Air Supply albums left in front of my door on Grand Street, Brooklyn. And in the middle of this pile of trash was an unplayed red vinyl copy of Blonder and Blonder. I still don't understand it.
	12:52pm Corey: Thanks for the great show, Michael! Just the antidote for overcast November day in NW Michigan.
	12:53pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Orbit" by "Thundermug" This is real nice. Punchy.
	12:53pm Commenter: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:50 Ah, ok! So much stuff on the 'FMU streams. Great show today!
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:52 wow! accept!
	12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Orbit" by "Thundermug" Damn
	12:53pm StringOFperils: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:52 Yeah! My spouse, who's from London, ON just went out the door. Too bad. She's missing this.
	12:53pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Orbit" by "Thundermug" Does The Who still influence bands these days?
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Orbit" by "Thundermug" I raise my mug to Thundermug!
	12:53pm Dano59: ↳ DG @12:52 same here! I know at least the first 3 Muffs albums, or 2 of those and then I found a third. Longtime love affair.
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	12:55pm John L: ↳ DanFA @12:47 Keep an eye on the Omnivore label page. They stock all of the Muffs work and have periodic sales.
	12:55pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Orbit" by "Thundermug" I for one would have a tough time knowing what to call this (besides awesome).
	12:55pm Listener Baby: Have a safe trip, Baby. Say hi to Marty for me.
	12:55pm clarke: until next week - keep your eye on the sparrow!!
	12:55pm Dano59: ↳ egould @12:02 did Joey play a Silvertone before the era of his Jerry Jones upgrades?
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:55 we're coming for YOU at 5 central time!!
	12:56pm egould: Thanks Michael. Thanks Melanie.
	12:56pm Dan efram: Great show
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:55 he had both.
	12:56pm radioronan: Thanks Michael..cheers y'all!
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: Great closer!
	12:56pm A2B: Thanks for the interview & great show overall, Michael!
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: Thanks for the interview, Michael. ALS is just tragic and random. Enjoy every sandwich.
	12:57pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been Mick Jaggered?? good nite.
	12:57pm Faux Jean: Donnerwetter!!
	12:57pm GIRABBE # 299024: THUNDERMUG! Oh my
	12:57pm clarke: WJAK!!! YES!!
	12:57pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:57 HAH ha ha.
	12:57pm Squints: Thanks for moving the rope, Michael.
	12:57pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @12:56 Thanks Clarke
	12:58pm clarke: WJAK!!! forevs!!
	12:58pm drr: thanks for another great show, MS.
	12:58pm egould: This does not sound like Mick Jagger. At. All.
	12:58pm clarke: sez u!
	12:59pm drr: ↳ egould @12:58 Because this is Porky Chedwick.
	12:59pm clarke: freakin' BRILLIANT!!
	12:59pm Montmaster J: a ring a ding time ;)
	12:59pm clarke: porky chadwick is da bestest!
	12:59pm DanFA: ↳ egould @12:58 It's a common name.
	1:00pm StringOFperils: Had a ring-a-ding time; thanks Mike!
	1:00pm DG: ↳ clarke @12:51 A bandmate (who goes to NO a lot) said Kermit Ruffins used to play there a lot, but don't think he does anymore. I assume they have live shows sometimes, but that stage (where the DJs were) was really small.
	1:00pm ken verona: Terrific show Michael. Melanie Vammen interview so moving and wonderful.
	1:04pm Will thee SG OCNY: Thank you Michael Shelley, great show!!!

	11:20am Joe Castrianni: Benny is a friend of the station. He has been a member of the Jay Vons and Reigning Sound. He is also currently the bass player in Spoon.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:19 will have to archive that show, Frank! sorry i missed it.
	11:20am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:20 Yes, but he wasn't 67 last time you heard it.
	11:21am newton: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 they do have a very good secondary policy that makes up for most of medicare's deficiencies.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:20 yeah. but, i figure they could do a weekend here or there, right?
	11:22am Michael Shelley: ↳ judy from croton @11:11 And he played it so effortlessly and well
	11:22am Listener Baby: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:20 Hi Rex!
	11:22am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:21 Hopefully, with emphasis on "here". But I've also heard that festival shows will still be considered. Who knows!
	11:23am rx "rexy" scabin: @Handy Haversack it's a wash. Some discounts.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:22 i certainly don't know a fucking thing.
	11:23am rx "rexy" scabin: @Listener Baby good morning. Chilly here.
	11:24am Listener Baby: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:23 Same!
	11:24am egould: ↳ Song: "Don't Shut Me Out" by "Matchbox" Number one hit.
	11:24am ken verona: Looking forward to Shel Talmy tribute. Legend has it that at the session for You Really Got Me, Shel told Dave Davies that he should just sound like he was going crazy.
	11:25am clarke: squints covers bread - with Parkay!
	11:25am Gerry from Miami: SHEL TALMY passed away? Where would we be without "You Really Got Me," "My Generation," or "Friday On My Mind?" I am weeping!
	11:26am Squints: ↳ Song: "Running Drunk" by "Eddie Bond" This begs for Bill Kirchen to cover it if he hasn't already.
	11:26am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Running Drunk" by "Eddie Bond" How timely! www.npr.org...
	11:26am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:25 Nuttin' but buttah.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:26 i would imagine that bill knows EVERY bond tune.
	11:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Michael & all!
	11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:26 I certainly watched it while drinking: www.wfmu.org...
	11:27am clarke: HELLO GREGORY!!
	11:28am Frank In Queens: Been mulling over the increase intake of alcohol or the complete elimination of it for the same reasons.
	11:28am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 As one does.
	11:28am johnk77: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/nov/15/shel-talmy-dies-producer-who-kinks-david-bowie uk guardian obit still no nytimes obit for shel talmy:<
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:28 when i stopped drinking, the songs came pouring out of me.
	11:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:26 clarke, I read that new R.E.M. biography and got so into it that I dug out this other R.E.M. biography I'd found for $2 at a thrift store in rural western Michigan and am now reading that and am honestly a little scared that I can read only R.E.M. biographies now. We're gonna need more R.E.M. biographies.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:29 maybe one of them will get it right!
	11:30am chresti: I switched to herbs re:alcohol
	11:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:28 When the doctor or well-meaning friends advise taking a few days off per week from drinking, I always ask whether the goddamn world will take a few days off each week from being a miserable tire fire of cruelty and greed. The debate is ongoing.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 columbus day weekend.
	11:31am Jim from Tranquility: Mike I went to Marty Stuart Wednesday night too. I stopped in at O’Reily’s and had three more beers than I’ve had in the last four months Really enjoyed the show.
	11:32am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 An unstoppable force vs an immovable object
	11:32am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:29 Not sure I ever want to write. If we're supposed to write what we know, I don't ever wanna write about it. I don't even sing that one line in Dead Flowers. (To the point where at the open mics it's become a running gag; the fellas know exactly where to stop cold for a second.) But I make it a point to sing that other line in Outfit twice.
	11:32am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Baby Blues" by "JD McPherson" I love JD, but the man keeps writing the same melody over and over
	11:33am Pedro in Arlington: ↳ johnk77 @11:28 Times needed the room for a column on why a whack vaccine denier might not be wrong on a few things.
	11:33am chresti: ↳ chresti @11:30 of the psychoactive variety
	11:33am clarke: ass=tro physics.
	11:33am Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 My compromise is that I don't hardly drink when I don't go out. So I get a couple or three dry days a week.
	11:34am Squints: ↳ chresti @11:30 Is Herb's the name of the local packie?
	11:34am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:32 it's not like i didn't have ideas, when drinking, but i didn't follow thru on anything.
	11:35am Squints: ↳ Jim from Tranquility @11:31 Going to see Marty Stuart in March in Myrtle with my brother and sister.
	11:35am Pedro in Arlington: Go Cats. Whatever.
	11:35am luka: Michael, did you take any of my pizza recommendations
	11:35am Moammar: Mortifying?
	11:35am egould: All this talk of drinking is making me thirsty. I think some Bushmill’s would go nicely in this chai latté.
	11:36am clarke: twiddler!!
	11:36am Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @11:35 Finishing off my brunchtail before getting down to some housework.
	11:36am egould: Did you get to the Chicago Music Exchange?
	11:37am Squints: ↳ egould @11:35 Bushmill's is a fine product. Even if it is made by (I think) those orange f---s. A naaaaaation once again..... I kid. Mostly. 5th generation. Ain't my quarrel.
	11:37am clarke: Baby !!!
	11:37am egould: Hey Baby!
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Baby on the radio!
	11:38am clarke: The Voice Of America!!
	11:38am jpuva: That is interesting. We went to see Second City Improv a couple years ago with our kids who were in high school at the time, and I don't think that we ever laughed more than on that night. I guess it's how you hit it.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: ↳ jpuva @11:38 It's improv, so I imagine it can be very hit or miss.
	11:39am San Pedro Girl: Hi Michael and all.
	11:39am misterdavid: Amen, facts. Praise to this massive wine merchant
	11:39am jpuva: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:38 very true
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Baby has been deliberately vague about what he's going to do tonight, so I'm dying to hear this.
	11:41am clarke: B-Minus!
	11:41am egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:36 Finish your brunchtail. Pour a pre-supper tipple. Have a nice Saturday.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ egould @11:41 i heartily concue, btw!
	11:42am clarke: -concur
	11:42am Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @11:41 This is the Way.
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Tag team effort to hit the post!
	11:43am egould: Professional radio announcing. Well done, boys.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: I think we'll be home between parties for Drop-In time. We'll tune in if at all possible, Baby. Well done!
	11:43am clarke: the russian judge is confuse.
	11:43am Gerry from Miami: @SQUINTS. Does it really matter to you who makes your distilled products? Based on politics or religion of the country of manufacture. War is hell! So let's just have another shot or two for old time's sake!
	11:44am A2B: Good Morning, Michael & No. 1 Hitters! Bob Brainen does not seem to be braoadcasting on his Drummer Stream program, as he usually does at this time. Anyone have any idea what's going on on that front? Wondering and fearing the worst, but hoping there's no reason for those fears.
	11:45am Hoboken Jack: Congrats BABY!!!
	11:45am Listener Baby: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:45 Thanks Jack!
	11:45am Handy Haversack: And speaking of Rock and Soul Stream news, listener and volunteer extraordinaire Yerfriendpaul has a new show on Thursday mornings. Check out the first episode if you missed it (after Michael, of course)! wfmu.org...
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:45 hi jack!
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:43 Not especially. Like I said, I kid. There's a lot of good natured ribbing between me and some of the Brits at my dive when the rugby comes on.
	11:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ A2B @11:44 Well, still listed on the main sched., so hopefully just taking a day off? wfmu.org...
	11:47am clarke: everytime i hear shel's voice - it gets me that he is not british. always forget.
	11:47am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:45 I'm a Snoopy's Christmas kind of guy when it comes to what I drink and whom with.
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:47 Wow! I never heard him before? Not British??? I'm plotzing.
	11:48am Hughie Considine: Even his name sounds British. I'm sure I knew he was American at one point.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 it's weird, right?
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:48 yeah, i know it ALL the time! but still....
	11:49am Frank In Queens: ↳ A2B @11:44 Technical difficulties? It happens with the streams sometime.
	11:49am clarke: The Ox.
	11:49am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:49 My man!
	11:50am Michael Shelley: ↳ Jim from Tranquility @11:31 I was at ORilleys too!
	11:50am egould: ↳ Song: "My Generation" by "Who, The" Whatever happened to these guys?
	11:50am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:32 yup
	11:50am Hughie Considine: Woah! The broken bass string story -- debunked!!
	11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ egould @11:50 They faded away
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:49 yer ox!
	11:50am myron feld: ↳ Song: "My Generation" by "Who, The" A friend recently acquired one of John Entwistle's basses: a '66 Precision with a slab body (as opposed to contoured) for all the musos here. And there.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:50 wow!!!
	11:51am Michael Shelley: ↳ luka @11:35 Filed away - but I was out voted on this trip!
	11:52am Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @11:50 🤯
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:51 get any street dogs??
	11:52am A2B: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:49 That's my hope. He didn't make any announcement last week about taking the following week off.
	11:52am Hughie Considine: My mom loved John Entwistle's version of "Mr. Bass Man."
	11:54am egould: ↳ myron feld @11:50 Will your friend play it? Or is it going to be in a trophy case?
	11:55am Richard 111: ↳ A2B @11:52 Bob's playlist page says: "November 16, 2024: Sorry folks, no show today. See you next Saturday with more freeform and more early Motown!"
	11:55am clarke: hmm... was Jo Stafford in the Pied Pipers???
	11:55am myron feld: ↳ egould @11:54 He plays it. I got to play it as well. Pretty neat playing "I Can't Explain" on it.
	11:55am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Cindy" by "Jo Stafford" Baby. If this a country song, which I agree it is. Then that Tennessee Earnie song is too. Okay?
	11:56am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Cindy" by "Jo Stafford" Sublime
	11:56am Listener Baby: Ernie
	11:56am Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @11:55 Man, I'd love to track a song using an instrument like that.
	11:57am egould: ↳ myron feld @11:55 History running through those strings and up your arm and brain.
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 joey spampinato once loaned me his (silvertone) bass to track a xmas tune.
	11:58am myron feld: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 You and me both, pal!
	12:00pm egould: ↳ Song: "Robot In A Robot's World" by "Ed Maciel e Sua Orq... #0.8 hit!
	12:00pm A2B: ↳ Richard 111 @11:55 At least it's good to know he's still hanging in there healthwise! Thanks!
	12:00pm myron feld: ↳ egould @11:57 Yeah, as cornball as it sounds, I felt it. "John <expletive> Entwistle owned and played this bass!"
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:58 Awesome
	12:01pm Moammar: Once again protesting the AI bumpers.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:00 unfortunately, it was during the time of 4-tracks and i didn't record it properly. but still...
	12:02pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:01 How was the tone on a Silvertone bass? Because Silvertone guitars…
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:02 did you ever see NRBQ? THAT tone!
	12:03pm StuartR: ↳ Song: "Saying Goodbye" by "Muffs, The" Kim, Melanie et al !
	12:04pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:03 Never saw NRBQ. But I’ll take your word. :-)
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:04 or most of their records.
	12:05pm Marie in Chicago: Howdy!
	12:05pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:38 It seemed like fake improv to me... mostly worked out skits with some Mad-Lib style suggestions thrown in
	12:06pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:04 If only there was a DJ at WFMU that played NRBQ regularly….
	12:06pm clarke: mad-libs, ha ha ha. wow. memories.
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Melanie Vammen" very nice!!
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:06 Our Mad Libs got darker as our vocabularies improved.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:08 "improved"
	12:09pm luka: i know what it’s like to lose a friend like this. may everyone.
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:08 Adverb - Fu*kily
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:09 improved
	12:10pm A2B: ↳ egould @12:06 The person I mentioned above is about as close as you'll ever get here on this station.
	12:10pm luka: that’s twice FMU has mad me cry today.
	12:11pm egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:10 Hahaha!
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:10 ha ha ha!
	12:11pm MarciB: I'm a photo manager and a FMU fan - and preserving a legacy like Kim's is really important - and I especially LOVE that it's preserved in print!
	12:12pm egould: ↳ A2B @12:10 Yes. Bob Brainen plays a lot of NRNQ.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:12 hey, how was gulfport??
	12:13pm egould: Kim had such a great rock n roll voice. And rock n roll stage presence.
	12:14pm A2B: ↳ egould @12:12 He's done NRBQ-related "One Hour With.." features on his show, at least you've got that!
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: ↳ egould @12:12 I had seen NRBQ records but never really listened until Bob Brainen played "Smackeroo" (followed by the Meters' "Chicken Strut") in 1985 or so. I think he holds the FMU record for NRBQ plays, the silver medal going to Michael, of course.
	12:14pm rx "rexy" scabin: I was going to go see if there are poachers on our land, but an interview will make that wait.
	12:15pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:13 Gulfport was good. I was there for work, which went well. And crab boil for dinner. And oysters at Half Shell. And steaks at Mary Mahoney’s.
	12:16pm efd: Lovely interview, and thanks for the Sherri shout-out!
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:15 nice - you know it is just like about an hour away from nola - if traffic is right??
	12:16pm Corey: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Melanie Vammen" Moving stuff. Heavy but uplifting. Thanks, Michael and Melanie for the conversation.
	12:17pm slocker: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
	12:17pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:16 Yes. And next year, when this job pops on the schedule, we’re going to stay in NO for the month of November.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:17 very good, then!!
	12:20pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Blueberry Crumble" by "Coolies, The" sweet
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: Great talk, MS, thanks.
	12:22pm clarke: there's also the doc Session Man that is coming out, soon - about nicky hopkins!
	12:23pm rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I will set see you soon.
	12:23pm rx "rexy" scabin: Seevnot set.
	12:23pm clarke: l8r RX!!
	12:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: Goog God, listen to those drums!
	12:25pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hi all.
	12:25pm listener phat in Lincoln: Who knew the Sundowners would have a revelatory drum sound.
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: That kick drum was 50 feet wide.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:25 hal blaine knew
	12:27pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:05 Okay, that does sound pretty awful.
	12:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:26 I wondered if it was him.
	12:27pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:18 We were planning on hanging out in NO back in March. But then my wife’s father passed on Feb 29, and my mom passed two weeks later. So we spent the next couple of months flying between Seattle, Los Angeles, and Indianapolis for family stuff, memorials, etc. So maybe we’ll try NO in March again.
	12:28pm Scott from Boston: Big Elvis fan… Some of my favorite songs, the goofy ones from his movies… Particularly Roustabout
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:27 sorry to hear that, but i remember.
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: "The long legged women who will take you for a trimmin'"
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:29 it happens.
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: Glad I tuned in! I got sidetracked and came in late.
	12:30pm clarke: i got a little jontavious last nite.
	12:31pm clarke: fuckily, it didn't last!
	12:32pm egould: ↳ Song: "Keep Your Worries On The Dancefloor" by "Jontavio... This is the song JD McPherson is trying to write.
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:31 The adverb that's sweepin' the nation!
	12:33pm clarke: i just realized that i have been listening to this show for a LONG time!!
	12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ egould @12:32 Yes! He gets close!
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 jontaviious?
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:33 Time creeps up on ya
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:34 you ain't kiddin'!
	12:37pm DG: I see some comments on New Orleans here, so I'll just add: we just got back from there a few days ago (had a family wedding) & I'd recommend visiting the WWII museum, as well as a (new?) Jazz Museum, which had Louis Armstrong's cornet, & an exhibit devoted to Louisiansa blues/funk, etc. Wasn't our first visit so we skipped Preservation Hall & didn't have much time for clubs, etc. but had a great burger at Saint John's (named for Mac Rebennack), did a 2nd line from the wedding at Music Box Village to Vaughn's Lounge on St. Charles, & shopped around Royal for awhile. Too bad the weather rarely cooperated (raining & overcast for about half the time).
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ DG @12:37 it's gorgeous here, today!! Pres Hall is closed temporarily to get A/C!
	12:40pm ?: Yeah, Tenafly’s own! I have all her records.
	12:40pm Hubig Pie: ↳ DG @12:37 Has Vaughn's relocated from Dauphine at Lesseps to Uptown?
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:40 no, i think there was a comma missing, ha ha ha
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:40 i had to read that twice
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: Nobody uses "needle" as in "to annoy" anymore, but i was a useful expression. I can still hear my grandfather saying, "Stop needlin' ya sister."
	12:44pm clarke: have you all checked out Fats with The Byrds backing him (on the youtube) - INSANE!!
	12:45pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Have You Seen My Baby?" by "Fats Donimo" Mostly know this from The Rumour's version, on...Purity of Essence...?
	12:45pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "My Idaho Home" by "Carolyn Mark" Carolyn dreamed up and realized that V/A Tribute to Robert Altman's 'Nashville' and it's a corker!
	12:45pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Have You Seen My Baby?" by "Fats Donimo" This Fats Domino track says a lot about Ringo's singing style.
	12:47pm Commenter: Michael - about sunshine pop - on the Rock n Soul stream there is "Come to the Sunshine" with Andrew Sandoval. He is heavy into sunshine pop (although the show has a good variety of mid 60's-early 70's stuff). Maybe ask him about sunshine pop?
	12:47pm drr: ↳ StringOFperils @12:45 Flamin' Groovies for me, but I'd like to hear The Rumour do it.
	12:47pm DanFA: What is the best Muffs album to start with?
	12:47pm Dano59: ↳ Commenter @12:47 is this one of those endless quandaries of definition ... like 'popcorn'?
	12:48pm Dano59: (or "power pop")
	12:48pm Dano59: ↳ DanFA @12:47 I like Happy Birthday to Me, but really any of them. The "Hamburger" compilation gathers a lot of their later stuff.
	12:49pm clarke: hard to pick ONE.
	12:49pm drr: ↳ DanFA @12:47 Blonder and Blonder, no question.
	12:50pm Spikey BXL: Lovely interview earlier, thanks for that!
	12:50pm Michael Shelley: ↳ DanFA @12:47 debut
	12:50pm DanFA: ↳ Dano59 @12:48 Happy Birthday is available on Hoopla, so I'll start there. As is Blonder and Blonder, drr.
	12:50pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Hold My Hand" by "Rutles, The" I still think "I Must Be In Love" is THE Number One Hit from that record.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:49 is that the yellow-ish one? yeah. that one.
	12:50pm DG: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:40 It's right off of Lesseps, on Dauphine. Still kinda dive-y but fun....we didn't stay long since the DJ was LOUD & we'd already had enough food & alcohol.
	12:50pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Commenter @12:47 His show always kills
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ DG @12:50 i would go there more, but no one really ever plays there, anymore.
	12:51pm Dano59: ↳ drr @12:47 Tommy Keene also did it...
	12:51pm egould: ↳ drr @12:49 Yes.
	12:51pm John L: ↳ DanFA @12:47 Blonde and Blonder was my gateway and remains my fave. The cd has some great extra tracks, too. Their debut would be my second choice.
	12:52pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Orbit" by "Thundermug" WOW!!
	12:52pm DG: ↳ Dano59 @12:48 I got a lot of promo stuff from WB & their related labels in the '90s, & I think I had "Happy Birthday"...didn't know them at the time & think I gave it away before we moved....I really regret it now.
	12:52pm drr: ↳ DanFA @12:50 I found a battered pile of mostly Air Supply albums left in front of my door on Grand Street, Brooklyn. And in the middle of this pile of trash was an unplayed red vinyl copy of Blonder and Blonder. I still don't understand it.
	12:52pm Corey: Thanks for the great show, Michael! Just the antidote for overcast November day in NW Michigan.
	12:53pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Orbit" by "Thundermug" This is real nice. Punchy.
	12:53pm Commenter: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:50 Ah, ok! So much stuff on the 'FMU streams. Great show today!
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:52 wow! accept!
