	11:28am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "The Passenger" by "Iggy Pop" Preach, Jim
	11:28am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The Passenger" by "Iggy Pop" Haha! Because this is also the title of Cormac McCarthy book I'm currently obsessed with. Anyone else read it?
	11:29am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "The Passenger" by "Iggy Pop" Watched Trainspotting the other night, and Iggy's presence looms large over the film even though he's not even in it.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 i am a cormac fan, and i never heard of the book! ha ha.
	11:30am egould: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:29 That big bass drum on ‘Lust for Life’. Beautiful.
	11:30am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:29 It's his final book, along with another slimmer volume that it connects with.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:30 so, this came out during pandy??

	11:37am egould: If you want to be the best Santa Clause ever, get your loved one an Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar pedal.
	11:38am clarke: RIP Andy!! what a nice dude.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ egould @11:37 that is quite the investment, these days. all of a sudden: pedals are all three hundie.
	11:39am gf2002: RIP Andy Paley. There are literally dozens of songs he wrote with Brian Wilson which have not seen the light of day...and they should, especially now.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:39 they supposedly wrote about a hundred tunes together.
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:36 These are good: shop.bittermilk.com
	11:41am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:39 Some have been bootlegged or leaked, and others released online and whatever on box sets...but the Wilson-Paley material needs and official release of some kind. So many more tunes to hear. Andy was a terrific musician.
	11:42am Andres: ↳ Song: "Come On Let's Go" by "Paley Brothers, The Backed ... Oh yeah!!!
	11:42am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:41 yeppers!
	11:42am luka: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:40 👀
	11:43am Matt in Nebraska: Andy Paley was also Bob Kerrey's brother-in-law.
	11:43am greg g: ↳ Song: "Come On Let's Go" by "Paley Brothers, The Backed ... Amazing! & Rest in Peace Andy Daley and btw first really head of himmthrough this show, Michael.
	11:43am gf2002: For me, Andy was one of the very few who could nail the classic 1964-66 Brian Wilson production sound, probably as good as anyone who tries. Listen to "Best Day Ever" from the Sponge Bob soundtrack, and it's Wilson circa 1965, minus the voices of course
	11:44am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:33 Maybe mine too.
	11:44am clarke: i said hundred. not hundredS!
	11:44am Frank In Queens: Maybe mix it up on the swag, Michael....if you want.
	11:45am clarke: my take is that the coasters are FINE.
	11:45am PatrickMC: Chip Taylor, Yonkers' favorite son
	11:46am Mr. Jones: "Is it rolling, Bob?"
	11:46am Michael Shelley: Clarke vs Frank - cage match!
	11:46am DJ Johnny Cool: Pozo Seco - Don Williams!
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 you nevah knocked me out, Frank!
	11:48am rx "rexy" scabin: Apple or sugar plum?
	11:48am Squints: ↳ Song: "Cindy" by "Ricky Nelson" Rick Nelson really is The Man.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:48 he'll have no girl at all??
	11:49am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:49 Maaaaaybe rhetorical excess.
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:49 perhaps, hmm??
	11:51am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:49 In this ever-changing world in which we live in, it's hards to know what's what.
	11:51am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. It is time to move some boxes of things. Goodbye. Also checking for poachers.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 actually, i would love to see another CD - but, doesn't have to be this year.
	11:52am Squints: ↳ Song: "Let Me Sleep Woman" by "Ecuadors, The" He's so tired. How long can this go on?
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:51 tis why we ram on. and on.
	11:53am gf2002: Todd-o-Phonic Todd had an interview with Andy which was truly great, and spun a bunch of great records Andy was involved with...August 3 2024 available in the WFMU archives. Highly recommended.
	11:53am Paul: Welcome to Marlboro Country.
	11:53am Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 Ha! I'm not fighting over that!
	11:53am clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:51 try moving some rope, too!
	11:53am OnTheTrain: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:40 Maybe its me , but they seam a bit steep, do they have any alcohol in them mike ?
	11:53am Squints: Now THIS is the version I like. Announces its presence wit' aut'ority. A little fast. maybe. But I'll allow it.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: Al Ciola looks like the name of a carbonated beverage.
	11:53am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "The Magnificent Seven" by "Al Ciola" If played 2 weeks in a row, rulebook says must play Los Straitjackets version!
	11:53am Cal Zone!: What is the title of the Pozo Seco song you played? You left it off the playlist...
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:53 what about over Trainspotting?? ha ha (i don't dig it that much)
	11:54am egould: Thank you for the music, Michael. But alas, it’s time for an omelette, boozy coffee, and college football.
	11:54am Paul: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:53 I checked. They don't.
	11:54am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "The Magnificent Seven" by "Al Ciola" This just reminded me. Vic Flick died this week. RIP
	11:54am OnTheTrain: ↳ Paul @11:54 Ok I am going to look for them when I am out at the store later.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ egould @11:54 Go Army!!!
	11:55am gf2002: Not to be that guy...but it's Caiola with an "A"
	11:55am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Countdown" by "Luxury" This is extremely good.
	11:55am gf2002: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:54 Oh no, RIP Vic! We just had a discussion about Vic and his guitars here a few weeks ago. I did not hear this until now. One of the greats
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:55 cow-town. some udder time.
	11:56am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:56 Bovine inspiration
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:56 that's udderly mad!!
	11:57am Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @11:56 "You're a cow. Give me some milk or else go home"
	11:58am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:57 Cud we move on please?
	11:58am Squints: Again with the chickens with no bones.
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:58 you do know that army plays notre dame in yankee stadium this eve??
	11:59am Mister Dobalina: Dino chicken nuggs for lunch it is.
	11:59am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:54 Oh, I thought it was over the coasters! Well, not gonna fight over Trainspotting either!
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Mister Dobalina @11:59 dyno-bites!
	12:00pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:58 Now I do. Proud to say I once stood in the dugout there.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:59 ha ha, we shall not fight. we shall bongo! a bongo-off!
	12:01pm frank: trini sounds to fast
	12:01pm gf2002: Anyone else remember the Milk Song and video from Sesame Street in the 70's? "Milk milk milk makes everything seem right"
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Si Tuviera Un Martillo" by "Fresia Soto" This was huge around campfires in the '70s. Not this version though.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:00 i wonder if the football teams will use the dugouts??
	12:02pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:01 I doubt they would fit.
	12:02pm drr: ↳ Song: "Big Little Lie" by "Sanford Clark" Ah, weird, I heard this $48 dollar shirt tune on WWOZ earlier this week.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:02 i am wondering the layout of the field, etc.
	12:03pm Mr. Jones: ↳ gf2002 @12:01 of poppy?
	12:03pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:01 The Army should know a thing or two about dugouts
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:03 one would think so.
	12:04pm frank: my bad not Trini
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:02 Pretty much one end zone is at home plate and the other is where Aaron Judge usually hangs out.
	12:04pm Joe R.: Ross Mc Manus, Elvis C’s dad, doing If I Had a Hammer. You can really see where Declan got his dance moves from. https://youtu.be/JzFBn32gbWU?feature=shared
	12:06pm clarke: WHO'S THROWIN' THOSE COASTERS?!?
	12:07pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Cal Zone! @11:53 FIXED - thanks!
	12:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Who's In My Bed?" by "Jay Mitchell" Holy cow!
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:04 i'll be a'watchin'! !
	12:08pm listener phat in Lincoln: Find me that drummer!
	12:08pm Corey: Wow! As good as advertised!
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:07 mel ott!
	12:10pm clarke: hey, question of the week: what is the most you ever spent on an album (purchasing not making)?
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:10 actually, the most you spent on any record?
	12:11pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:11 I spent $70 or so for the deluxe box CD of Songs For A Tailor.
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Ask For Jill" by "dB's, The" this song shows the most difference in re-mastering, so far.
	12:12pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Ask For Jill" by "dB's, The" This sounds amazing
	12:12pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:10 Single LP, probably $30 in around '91. The record got a CD re-release with a way inferior re-mix and I quickly bought a sealed version at Finyl Vinyl.
	12:13pm szzn: ↳ Song: "Ask For Jill" by "dB's, The" Which came first, XTC's Dot Dash, or Ask For Jill?
	12:13pm Listener Baby: Oh this is so going
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:11 that's not a record. i'll start: i spent $150 to get an original copy of Peter Laughner's Take The Guitar Player For A Ride. but, i would say that one could easily put another zero behind that amount, now.
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:11 $100 or so for the Kinks deluxe Village Green box. I'm sort of afraid to play it though.
	12:14pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Heart" by "Two Of Clubs, The" FIRE!
	12:14pm Listener Baby: Good
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:10 Almost $200 for a GBV 7", BUT it was a test pressing and featuring the actual collage that Bob made that they wound up using for the picture sleeve. So I think of it more as an art purchase than a record purchase. I got it framed and now it hangs in the living room.
	12:14pm PatrickMC: ↳ szzn @12:13 Wire and i think it was first
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: ↳ szzn @12:13 Wire - 1978
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:13 i'm talking about vinyl here, tho
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:13 I don't think I've spent more than $30 on vinyl, perhaps $50.
	12:14pm szzn: ↳ PatrickMC @12:14 D'oh!! I suck at this.
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:14 so am i
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:14 oh yeah, that is ART!
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:11 On my list!
	12:15pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:14 That's an outlier though. Usually 60-70 is where I stop, and have only gone there half a dozen times.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:15 what was one of the highest ones?
	12:17pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Corazon Humano" by "Los Caminantes" 😍
	12:17pm clarke: okay, not a boxed set!
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:15 It's worth it!
	12:18pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Corazon Humano" by "Los Caminantes" a truly great DJ could bongo-feet this tune
	12:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: To the bakery!
	12:18pm KWilde: Great harmony
	12:19pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:17 The reissue of Ocean Rain and OG copy of Mag Earwhig come to mind...
	12:19pm PatrickMC: ↳ clarke @12:10 $14 for an import of Love Zombies by the Monochrome Set at the Golden Disc in about 1978. Boy that set me back.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:19 wow, i don't have a Mag Earwig on vinyl!! re-ish or OG.
	12:20pm Mr. Jones: I sold a 12" EP for $200 once.
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: frontera.library.ucla.edu
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ PatrickMC @12:19 ha ha, i bet!
	12:20pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Rock Love" by "Lulu Reed" I have to say this is vastly superior to the Utopia song of the same name.
	12:20pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:10 I don't remember; I don't like to spend a lot on records. I did buy a record for a quarter and sold it for $75, but I didn't realize how rare it was--I could have gotten a lot more.
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: Might have to go to Lowe's for some lumber for a CD shelf I need to build, speaking of...
	12:21pm luka: ↳ clarke @12:10 i think like $60 for a UK pressing of Judas Priest - Painkiller
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: frontera.library.ucla.edu
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:20 [buzzer sound]
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:17 My best return on investment is a pristine one-dollar copy of Full Moon Fever, still has the $1 sticker, which has a $65 median value on Discogs.
	12:22pm clarke: thank you. someone other than frank has answered the question!
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:22 i think more, these days!
	12:23pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:10 Around 1989 or 1990: Spent around 30 at a record show for McCartney'sChoba B CCCP "Back In The USSR" album when it was only out as a Russian import. Same show, roughly same price for the Beatles' "Sessions" bootleg. Both made obsolete soon after by CD releases, but I was a fanatic back then and wanted those vinyls. I needed "Leave My Kitten Alone" on vinyl! I learned my lessons after that.
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:23 a good investment!
	12:25pm Handy Haversack: Sir Osis of Thuliver! I picked up an import Flood for $40 at Record Fair. Couldn't help myself.
	12:25pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:22 I wish you could see what the median price was of ACTUAL COMPLETED SALES on Discogs
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:25 perhaps someone could just tell us?
	12:28pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Fire" by "Dracu-las, The" Hey! I know Mitch!
	12:29pm Marie in Chicago: Howdy! Diggin' the show here @)
	12:30pm clarke: oh Rochester!!
	12:31pm Cooh John: Anyone remember Shake-a-pudding using this as their jingle?
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:25 That would be a useful feature!
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Cooh John @12:31 never heard of Shake-A-Pudding, but we had Great Shakes in the day.
	12:32pm Marie in Chicago: Oh, I'm honored, thank you, Michael! (PS: I used to be a major beer bottle mama @)) )
	12:32pm greg g: ↳ clarke @12:13 60 beans for Cymande's Second Time Round
	12:32pm DJ Johnny Cool: Beer Bottle Mama features Beau Sample on vocals. Currently JD McPherson's bass player.
	12:32pm gf2002: The most I ever paid for a CD or CD's were a 2-disc Beach Boys Smile bootleg and a Beach Boys bootleg called Time To Get Alone that had the Murry Wilson studio argument session in full, 50 bucks each for both double disc sets in Harvard Square back in the 90's. I'm not including box sets in this tally.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ greg g @12:32 quite the bargain now'days!
	12:33pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Beer Bottle Mama" by "Modern Sounds, The" Interesting concept for a song
	12:33pm Paul: My family always stopped at the Iowa Machine Shed on I80 in Davenport for classic Iowa Farm food. Not for vegetarians. Iowa is the pork capitol of the US. I think. The Figge is a sweet art museum…lots of New York abstract expressionists.
	12:33pm tonyb: I think I received a Dave Clark Five flexi from the good people @ Shake-A-Pudding?
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: Wish I still had the R.E.M. bootlegs and fan club records from my teen years. Much easier to get in Atlanta in the late eighties into early nineties than NYC now.
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:34 i still have all mine! but wouldn't sell anyway.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:34 Much was lost when my dad died. Rebuilt my D&D collection.
	12:35pm Marie in Chicago: I'm gonna have to keep a look out for The Modern Sounds.
	12:35pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:32 Great Shakes somehow got a lot of legendary 60's artists to cut jingles for them, I think I have a compilation of those tracks somewhere, and another with all the 60's Coca Cola jingles too. Some pretty cool tracks out there!
	12:35pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I'm On The Move" by "Joe Mayfield" How sampleable
	12:35pm CrossCreekTom: Gary Lewis and the Playboys firt hit I heard was "This Diamond Ring" Al Kopper wrote the song, His version is on the album "Act Like Nothings Wrong" Great song.
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:34 I have a few of those digitally -- "Stitchcraft 1983" "Tyrone's OC - 1981" - they sound great, right off the board.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:35 you probably know but great shakes was just some choco mixed with malt in a packet, basically.
	12:36pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:25 Michael, if you go into the listing page, as though you are selling one, there is an option for seeing the sales date, condition and price for what has sold in discogs in the past
	12:37pm P-90: Can we post a photo of Stanley? Please?
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 that Tyrone's show is WILD!! frat-band!
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 Oooo, nice. Been reading all about them lately. Would love to hear those.
	12:38pm gf2002: What better time than now to play "Leave My Kitten Alone" haha. Kitties!
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 the Tyrone's show is on youtube
	12:38pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:22 That's the record where the CD version has an interruption to approximate and commemorate the pause to turn the record over.
	12:39pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 Could be arranged.
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:38 I gotta draw the line somewhere. And it's right before Youtube!
	12:39pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Who Is It? (live at CBGB 10.10.77)" by "Talking H... Wow totally cool and sounds great
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:39 I'll have my seconds contact your seconds!
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:39 also, there's a great early show from Raleigh, with mitch and holsapple on stage, too.
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:38 Tom was always ahead of the game.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 guess you'll have to talk to hugh.
	12:41pm GeoSinPhilly: ↳ Song: "Who Is It? (live at CBGB 10.10.77)" by "Talking H... The bass should have been louder on Talking Heads '77. This sounds great.
	12:42pm clarke: but it IS the beatles.
	12:42pm PatrickMC: Correct answer is the Ramones
	12:42pm gf2002: Nothing against the band, but that may be the first time "Velvet Revolver" was heard as the answer to a question.
	12:42pm Handy Haversack: Thought Michael was going to play Velvet Revolver!
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: I worked on a book that never quite happened called How the Beatles Ruined Everything, in which the author -- a member of a respected indie band turned rock critic -- posits that Kraftwerk is the most influential band ever.
	12:44pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "I'm Better Than the Beatles" by "Brad Berwick" yeeee haaaaaaa!
	12:44pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "I'm Better Than the Beatles" by "Brad Berwick" I think I saw this guy on the Jet Screamer Show
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:43 and you wonder why the book never happened.
	12:44pm greg g: ↳ Song: "I'm Better Than the Beatles" by "Brad Berwick" Dude has chutzpah!
	12:45pm Hyper Driver: The Beatles were so good that I don't think anybody was actually able to be influenced by them. I'd lean towards the Kinks or Kraftwerk.
	12:45pm Marie in Chicago: Dionne (love her) does have big choppers...
	12:45pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:44 The thing is, he makes a good point about the influence of Kraftwerk supplanting the four-man band setup that the Beatles became the model for.
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: There's buzz that WFMU was founded in 1958 to celebrate Dionne's being of legal drinking age.
	12:46pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:45 if that's your thing
	12:46pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I'm Your Puppet" by "Dionne Warwick" This is getting redundant but ... no bad versions of this gem.
	12:46pm clarke: i spent so much time worshipping Burt, that i shirked on Hal - but, am now rectifying that wrong. also, this is a Penn/Oldham, er, penned tune.
	12:47pm PatrickMC: It's the overbite. Killer.
	12:47pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:46 I don't know if the version by the Brothers Purify can be topped though.
	12:47pm clarke: and sadly, no drum-stutter in this version.
	12:47pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "I'm Your Puppet" by "Dionne Warwick" This is a brilliant song, nothing compares to the James & Bobby Purify hit, but there are no bad versions. This has Reggie Young on guitar, a big plus
	12:48pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:47 totally
	12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:46 Bel-Airs from MO do a great version.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 good outfit!
	12:48pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "I'm Your Puppet" by "Dionne Warwick" This is nice, but Valley of the Dolls is my fave Warwick song. I always thought it'd be a good song for Debby Harry to cover.
	12:49pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 ooh -- gonna check that!
	12:49pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:47 I agree - That is one of the best pure recordings of all time. Totally sets a mood with the music. Right up there with I Only Have Eyes For You
	12:50pm Billybob: ↳ gf2002 @12:49 Yeah, I love that song. Also makes me think of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.
	12:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:49 May not be available on record. I'd have to look around
	12:50pm Hyper Driver: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:45 I buy that. Kraftwek drove a lot of democratization in music. Whereas the Beatles were so good at the 2 guitars / bass / drums / harmonized vocals paradigm that it's kind of like, "Well, I can't do that."
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:49 most probably Gene Chrisman on drums on that version
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:50 i don' think it is on their records?
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Hyper Driver @12:50 yer kiddin' right?
	12:52pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:51 I think you're right, it was Moman's house band on that album if I remember, Cogbill on bass, etc
	12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:51 They're hard to come by, too.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:52 The Memphis Boys!
	12:53pm Handy Haversack: Well done, Rex! Thanks, MS! Good stuff!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Hyper Driver @12:50 Completely revolutionary concept. They connect to so many types of music that are still hugely popular. Pop music these days, it seems to me, is far more indebted to Kraftwerk than to the Beatles.
	12:54pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "She's-A-My-Own" by "Five Americans, The" I think I saw these guys on The Jet Screamer Show
	12:55pm David Watts: Worst backing vocal ever
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 not when you consider the swath that came before.?
	12:55pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "She's-A-My-Own" by "Five Americans, The" Gotta say it again for their hit, "Western Union" is one of the best singles of the 60's
	12:55pm Hyper Driver: ↳ clarke @12:52 Let me put it this way - I think Oasis probably still exists without the Beatles, but I don't know that entire genres of music exist without Kraftwerk. And I say this because the Beatles were so amazing that people couldn't possibly imitate them!
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Hyper Driver @12:55 you are just not seeing it the right way. NO pop band would exiest without the beatles.
	12:57pm Billybob: ↳ Hyper Driver @12:55 Well, there were the Knickerbockers and Klaatu.
	12:57pm clarke: kraftwerk wouldn't exist.
	12:58pm Squints: Rope is duly moved. Thanks, Michael. Off to let the ladies chase me. Because, Lord, I am one pretty man.
	12:58pm Marie in Chicago: I saw Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets a few weeks ago. He was so wonderful (as were they). The lyrics, the great care he takes when singing, the melodies. Mahvelous!
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:58 Have mercy on 'em, Squints! Wear a cloak!
	12:59pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "Jet Pac Boomerang" by "Nick Lowe" That warbly guitar sound is the icing on a perfect cake.
	12:59pm PaulRobeson1924: Everybody’s gotta wet
	12:59pm clarke: i'm not sure if Baby is still around, but i sure did enjoy his Drop-In show last week!!
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: And it looks just like his father, Meathead.
	12:59pm clarke: rope moved. good nite.
	12:59pm greg g: Thanks Mike!
	1:05pm Marie in Chicago: Thanks, Mike!
	1:07pm Michael Shelley: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:53 No - and I use less than a teaspoon
	1:10pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:36 THANKS~
	1:58pm Cal Zone!: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:07 Thanks!

	11:28am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The Passenger" by "Iggy Pop" Haha! Because this is also the title of Cormac McCarthy book I'm currently obsessed with. Anyone else read it?
	11:29am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "The Passenger" by "Iggy Pop" Watched Trainspotting the other night, and Iggy's presence looms large over the film even though he's not even in it.

	11:37am egould: If you want to be the best Santa Clause ever, get your loved one an Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar pedal.
	11:38am clarke: RIP Andy!! what a nice dude.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ egould @11:37 that is quite the investment, these days. all of a sudden: pedals are all three hundie.
	11:39am gf2002: RIP Andy Paley. There are literally dozens of songs he wrote with Brian Wilson which have not seen the light of day...and they should, especially now.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:39 they supposedly wrote about a hundred tunes together.
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:36 These are good: shop.bittermilk.com
	11:41am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:39 Some have been bootlegged or leaked, and others released online and whatever on box sets...but the Wilson-Paley material needs and official release of some kind. So many more tunes to hear. Andy was a terrific musician.
	11:42am Andres: ↳ Song: "Come On Let's Go" by "Paley Brothers, The Backed ... Oh yeah!!!
	11:42am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:41 yeppers!
	11:42am luka: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:40 👀
	11:43am Matt in Nebraska: Andy Paley was also Bob Kerrey's brother-in-law.
	11:43am greg g: ↳ Song: "Come On Let's Go" by "Paley Brothers, The Backed ... Amazing! & Rest in Peace Andy Daley and btw first really head of himmthrough this show, Michael.
	11:43am gf2002: For me, Andy was one of the very few who could nail the classic 1964-66 Brian Wilson production sound, probably as good as anyone who tries. Listen to "Best Day Ever" from the Sponge Bob soundtrack, and it's Wilson circa 1965, minus the voices of course
	11:44am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:33 Maybe mine too.
	11:44am clarke: i said hundred. not hundredS!
	11:44am Frank In Queens: Maybe mix it up on the swag, Michael....if you want.
	11:45am clarke: my take is that the coasters are FINE.
	11:45am PatrickMC: Chip Taylor, Yonkers' favorite son
	11:46am Mr. Jones: "Is it rolling, Bob?"
	11:46am Michael Shelley: Clarke vs Frank - cage match!

	11:49am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:49 Maaaaaybe rhetorical excess.
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:49 perhaps, hmm??
	11:51am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:49 In this ever-changing world in which we live in, it's hards to know what's what.
	11:51am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. It is time to move some boxes of things. Goodbye. Also checking for poachers.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 actually, i would love to see another CD - but, doesn't have to be this year.
	11:52am Squints: ↳ Song: "Let Me Sleep Woman" by "Ecuadors, The" He's so tired. How long can this go on?
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:51 tis why we ram on. and on.
	11:53am gf2002: Todd-o-Phonic Todd had an interview with Andy which was truly great, and spun a bunch of great records Andy was involved with...August 3 2024 available in the WFMU archives. Highly recommended.
	11:53am Paul: Welcome to Marlboro Country.
	11:53am Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 Ha! I'm not fighting over that!
	11:53am clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:51 try moving some rope, too!
	11:53am OnTheTrain: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:40 Maybe its me , but they seam a bit steep, do they have any alcohol in them mike ?
	11:53am Squints: Now THIS is the version I like. Announces its presence wit' aut'ority. A little fast. maybe. But I'll allow it.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: Al Ciola looks like the name of a carbonated beverage.
	11:53am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "The Magnificent Seven" by "Al Ciola" If played 2 weeks in a row, rulebook says must play Los Straitjackets version!
	11:53am Cal Zone!: What is the title of the Pozo Seco song you played? You left it off the playlist...
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:53 what about over Trainspotting?? ha ha (i don't dig it that much)
	11:54am egould: Thank you for the music, Michael. But alas, it’s time for an omelette, boozy coffee, and college football.
	11:54am Paul: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:53 I checked. They don't.
	11:54am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "The Magnificent Seven" by "Al Ciola" This just reminded me. Vic Flick died this week. RIP
	11:54am OnTheTrain: ↳ Paul @11:54 Ok I am going to look for them when I am out at the store later.

	11:55am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Countdown" by "Luxury" This is extremely good.
	11:55am gf2002: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:54 Oh no, RIP Vic! We just had a discussion about Vic and his guitars here a few weeks ago. I did not hear this until now. One of the greats

	12:00pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:58 Now I do. Proud to say I once stood in the dugout there.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:59 ha ha, we shall not fight. we shall bongo! a bongo-off!
	12:01pm frank: trini sounds to fast
	12:01pm gf2002: Anyone else remember the Milk Song and video from Sesame Street in the 70's? "Milk milk milk makes everything seem right"
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Si Tuviera Un Martillo" by "Fresia Soto" This was huge around campfires in the '70s. Not this version though.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:00 i wonder if the football teams will use the dugouts??
	12:02pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:01 I doubt they would fit.
	12:02pm drr: ↳ Song: "Big Little Lie" by "Sanford Clark" Ah, weird, I heard this $48 dollar shirt tune on WWOZ earlier this week.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:02 i am wondering the layout of the field, etc.
	12:03pm Mr. Jones: ↳ gf2002 @12:01 of poppy?
	12:03pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:01 The Army should know a thing or two about dugouts
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:03 one would think so.
	12:04pm frank: my bad not Trini
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:02 Pretty much one end zone is at home plate and the other is where Aaron Judge usually hangs out.
	12:04pm Joe R.: Ross Mc Manus, Elvis C’s dad, doing If I Had a Hammer. You can really see where Declan got his dance moves from. https://youtu.be/JzFBn32gbWU?feature=shared
	12:06pm clarke: WHO'S THROWIN' THOSE COASTERS?!?
	12:07pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Cal Zone! @11:53 FIXED - thanks!
	12:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Who's In My Bed?" by "Jay Mitchell" Holy cow!
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:04 i'll be a'watchin'! !
	12:08pm listener phat in Lincoln: Find me that drummer!
	12:08pm Corey: Wow! As good as advertised!
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:07 mel ott!
	12:10pm clarke: hey, question of the week: what is the most you ever spent on an album (purchasing not making)?
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:10 actually, the most you spent on any record?
	12:11pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:11 I spent $70 or so for the deluxe box CD of Songs For A Tailor.
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Ask For Jill" by "dB's, The" this song shows the most difference in re-mastering, so far.
	12:12pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Ask For Jill" by "dB's, The" This sounds amazing
	12:12pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:10 Single LP, probably $30 in around '91. The record got a CD re-release with a way inferior re-mix and I quickly bought a sealed version at Finyl Vinyl.
	12:13pm szzn: ↳ Song: "Ask For Jill" by "dB's, The" Which came first, XTC's Dot Dash, or Ask For Jill?
	12:13pm Listener Baby: Oh this is so going
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:11 that's not a record. i'll start: i spent $150 to get an original copy of Peter Laughner's Take The Guitar Player For A Ride. but, i would say that one could easily put another zero behind that amount, now.
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:11 $100 or so for the Kinks deluxe Village Green box. I'm sort of afraid to play it though.
	12:14pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Heart" by "Two Of Clubs, The" FIRE!
	12:14pm Listener Baby: Good
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:10 Almost $200 for a GBV 7", BUT it was a test pressing and featuring the actual collage that Bob made that they wound up using for the picture sleeve. So I think of it more as an art purchase than a record purchase. I got it framed and now it hangs in the living room.
	12:14pm PatrickMC: ↳ szzn @12:13 Wire and i think it was first
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: ↳ szzn @12:13 Wire - 1978
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:13 i'm talking about vinyl here, tho
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:13 I don't think I've spent more than $30 on vinyl, perhaps $50.
	12:14pm szzn: ↳ PatrickMC @12:14 D'oh!! I suck at this.
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:14 so am i
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:14 oh yeah, that is ART!
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:11 On my list!
	12:15pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:14 That's an outlier though. Usually 60-70 is where I stop, and have only gone there half a dozen times.
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:15 what was one of the highest ones?
	12:17pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Corazon Humano" by "Los Caminantes" 😍
	12:17pm clarke: okay, not a boxed set!
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:15 It's worth it!
	12:18pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Corazon Humano" by "Los Caminantes" a truly great DJ could bongo-feet this tune
	12:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: To the bakery!
	12:18pm KWilde: Great harmony
	12:19pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:17 The reissue of Ocean Rain and OG copy of Mag Earwhig come to mind...
	12:19pm PatrickMC: ↳ clarke @12:10 $14 for an import of Love Zombies by the Monochrome Set at the Golden Disc in about 1978. Boy that set me back.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:19 wow, i don't have a Mag Earwig on vinyl!! re-ish or OG.
	12:20pm Mr. Jones: I sold a 12" EP for $200 once.
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: frontera.library.ucla.edu
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ PatrickMC @12:19 ha ha, i bet!
	12:20pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Rock Love" by "Lulu Reed" I have to say this is vastly superior to the Utopia song of the same name.
	12:20pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:10 I don't remember; I don't like to spend a lot on records. I did buy a record for a quarter and sold it for $75, but I didn't realize how rare it was--I could have gotten a lot more.
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: Might have to go to Lowe's for some lumber for a CD shelf I need to build, speaking of...
	12:21pm luka: ↳ clarke @12:10 i think like $60 for a UK pressing of Judas Priest - Painkiller
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: frontera.library.ucla.edu
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:20 [buzzer sound]
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:17 My best return on investment is a pristine one-dollar copy of Full Moon Fever, still has the $1 sticker, which has a $65 median value on Discogs.
	12:22pm clarke: thank you. someone other than frank has answered the question!
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:22 i think more, these days!
	12:23pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:10 Around 1989 or 1990: Spent around 30 at a record show for McCartney'sChoba B CCCP "Back In The USSR" album when it was only out as a Russian import. Same show, roughly same price for the Beatles' "Sessions" bootleg. Both made obsolete soon after by CD releases, but I was a fanatic back then and wanted those vinyls. I needed "Leave My Kitten Alone" on vinyl! I learned my lessons after that.
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:23 a good investment!
	12:25pm Handy Haversack: Sir Osis of Thuliver! I picked up an import Flood for $40 at Record Fair. Couldn't help myself.
	12:25pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:22 I wish you could see what the median price was of ACTUAL COMPLETED SALES on Discogs
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:25 perhaps someone could just tell us?
	12:28pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Fire" by "Dracu-las, The" Hey! I know Mitch!
	12:29pm Marie in Chicago: Howdy! Diggin' the show here @)
	12:30pm clarke: oh Rochester!!
	12:31pm Cooh John: Anyone remember Shake-a-pudding using this as their jingle?
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:25 That would be a useful feature!
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Cooh John @12:31 never heard of Shake-A-Pudding, but we had Great Shakes in the day.
	12:32pm Marie in Chicago: Oh, I'm honored, thank you, Michael! (PS: I used to be a major beer bottle mama @)) )
	12:32pm greg g: ↳ clarke @12:13 60 beans for Cymande's Second Time Round
	12:32pm DJ Johnny Cool: Beer Bottle Mama features Beau Sample on vocals. Currently JD McPherson's bass player.
	12:32pm gf2002: The most I ever paid for a CD or CD's were a 2-disc Beach Boys Smile bootleg and a Beach Boys bootleg called Time To Get Alone that had the Murry Wilson studio argument session in full, 50 bucks each for both double disc sets in Harvard Square back in the 90's. I'm not including box sets in this tally.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ greg g @12:32 quite the bargain now'days!
	12:33pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Beer Bottle Mama" by "Modern Sounds, The" Interesting concept for a song
	12:33pm Paul: My family always stopped at the Iowa Machine Shed on I80 in Davenport for classic Iowa Farm food. Not for vegetarians. Iowa is the pork capitol of the US. I think. The Figge is a sweet art museum…lots of New York abstract expressionists.
	12:33pm tonyb: I think I received a Dave Clark Five flexi from the good people @ Shake-A-Pudding?
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: Wish I still had the R.E.M. bootlegs and fan club records from my teen years. Much easier to get in Atlanta in the late eighties into early nineties than NYC now.
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:34 i still have all mine! but wouldn't sell anyway.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:34 Much was lost when my dad died. Rebuilt my D&D collection.
	12:35pm Marie in Chicago: I'm gonna have to keep a look out for The Modern Sounds.
	12:35pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:32 Great Shakes somehow got a lot of legendary 60's artists to cut jingles for them, I think I have a compilation of those tracks somewhere, and another with all the 60's Coca Cola jingles too. Some pretty cool tracks out there!
	12:35pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I'm On The Move" by "Joe Mayfield" How sampleable
	12:35pm CrossCreekTom: Gary Lewis and the Playboys firt hit I heard was "This Diamond Ring" Al Kopper wrote the song, His version is on the album "Act Like Nothings Wrong" Great song.
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:34 I have a few of those digitally -- "Stitchcraft 1983" "Tyrone's OC - 1981" - they sound great, right off the board.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:35 you probably know but great shakes was just some choco mixed with malt in a packet, basically.
	12:36pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:25 Michael, if you go into the listing page, as though you are selling one, there is an option for seeing the sales date, condition and price for what has sold in discogs in the past
	12:37pm P-90: Can we post a photo of Stanley? Please?
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 that Tyrone's show is WILD!! frat-band!
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 Oooo, nice. Been reading all about them lately. Would love to hear those.
	12:38pm gf2002: What better time than now to play "Leave My Kitten Alone" haha. Kitties!
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 the Tyrone's show is on youtube
	12:38pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:22 That's the record where the CD version has an interruption to approximate and commemorate the pause to turn the record over.
	12:39pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 Could be arranged.
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:38 I gotta draw the line somewhere. And it's right before Youtube!
	12:39pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Who Is It? (live at CBGB 10.10.77)" by "Talking H... Wow totally cool and sounds great
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:39 I'll have my seconds contact your seconds!
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:39 also, there's a great early show from Raleigh, with mitch and holsapple on stage, too.
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:38 Tom was always ahead of the game.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 guess you'll have to talk to hugh.
	12:41pm GeoSinPhilly: ↳ Song: "Who Is It? (live at CBGB 10.10.77)" by "Talking H... The bass should have been louder on Talking Heads '77. This sounds great.
	12:42pm clarke: but it IS the beatles.
	12:42pm PatrickMC: Correct answer is the Ramones
	12:42pm gf2002: Nothing against the band, but that may be the first time "Velvet Revolver" was heard as the answer to a question.
	12:42pm Handy Haversack: Thought Michael was going to play Velvet Revolver!
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: I worked on a book that never quite happened called How the Beatles Ruined Everything, in which the author -- a member of a respected indie band turned rock critic -- posits that Kraftwerk is the most influential band ever.
	12:44pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "I'm Better Than the Beatles" by "Brad Berwick" yeeee haaaaaaa!
	12:44pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "I'm Better Than the Beatles" by "Brad Berwick" I think I saw this guy on the Jet Screamer Show
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:43 and you wonder why the book never happened.
	12:44pm greg g: ↳ Song: "I'm Better Than the Beatles" by "Brad Berwick" Dude has chutzpah!
	12:45pm Hyper Driver: The Beatles were so good that I don't think anybody was actually able to be influenced by them. I'd lean towards the Kinks or Kraftwerk.
	12:45pm Marie in Chicago: Dionne (love her) does have big choppers...
	12:45pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:44 The thing is, he makes a good point about the influence of Kraftwerk supplanting the four-man band setup that the Beatles became the model for.
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: There's buzz that WFMU was founded in 1958 to celebrate Dionne's being of legal drinking age.
	12:46pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:45 if that's your thing
	12:46pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I'm Your Puppet" by "Dionne Warwick" This is getting redundant but ... no bad versions of this gem.
	12:46pm clarke: i spent so much time worshipping Burt, that i shirked on Hal - but, am now rectifying that wrong. also, this is a Penn/Oldham, er, penned tune.
	12:47pm PatrickMC: It's the overbite. Killer.
	12:47pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:46 I don't know if the version by the Brothers Purify can be topped though.
	12:47pm clarke: and sadly, no drum-stutter in this version.
	12:47pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "I'm Your Puppet" by "Dionne Warwick" This is a brilliant song, nothing compares to the James & Bobby Purify hit, but there are no bad versions. This has Reggie Young on guitar, a big plus
	12:48pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:47 totally
	12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:46 Bel-Airs from MO do a great version.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 good outfit!
	12:48pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "I'm Your Puppet" by "Dionne Warwick" This is nice, but Valley of the Dolls is my fave Warwick song. I always thought it'd be a good song for Debby Harry to cover.
	12:49pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 ooh -- gonna check that!
	12:49pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:47 I agree - That is one of the best pure recordings of all time. Totally sets a mood with the music. Right up there with I Only Have Eyes For You
	12:50pm Billybob: ↳ gf2002 @12:49 Yeah, I love that song. Also makes me think of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.
	12:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:49 May not be available on record. I'd have to look around
	12:50pm Hyper Driver: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:45 I buy that. Kraftwek drove a lot of democratization in music. Whereas the Beatles were so good at the 2 guitars / bass / drums / harmonized vocals paradigm that it's kind of like, "Well, I can't do that."
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:49 most probably Gene Chrisman on drums on that version
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:50 i don' think it is on their records?
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Hyper Driver @12:50 yer kiddin' right?
	12:52pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:51 I think you're right, it was Moman's house band on that album if I remember, Cogbill on bass, etc
	12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:51 They're hard to come by, too.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:52 The Memphis Boys!
	12:53pm Handy Haversack: Well done, Rex! Thanks, MS! Good stuff!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Hyper Driver @12:50 Completely revolutionary concept. They connect to so many types of music that are still hugely popular. Pop music these days, it seems to me, is far more indebted to Kraftwerk than to the Beatles.
	12:54pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "She's-A-My-Own" by "Five Americans, The" I think I saw these guys on The Jet Screamer Show
	12:55pm David Watts: Worst backing vocal ever
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 not when you consider the swath that came before.?
	12:55pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "She's-A-My-Own" by "Five Americans, The" Gotta say it again for their hit, "Western Union" is one of the best singles of the 60's
	12:55pm Hyper Driver: ↳ clarke @12:52 Let me put it this way - I think Oasis probably still exists without the Beatles, but I don't know that entire genres of music exist without Kraftwerk. And I say this because the Beatles were so amazing that people couldn't possibly imitate them!
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Hyper Driver @12:55 you are just not seeing it the right way. NO pop band would exiest without the beatles.
	12:57pm Billybob: ↳ Hyper Driver @12:55 Well, there were the Knickerbockers and Klaatu.
	12:57pm clarke: kraftwerk wouldn't exist.
	12:58pm Squints: Rope is duly moved. Thanks, Michael. Off to let the ladies chase me. Because, Lord, I am one pretty man.
	12:58pm Marie in Chicago: I saw Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets a few weeks ago. He was so wonderful (as were they). The lyrics, the great care he takes when singing, the melodies. Mahvelous!
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:58 Have mercy on 'em, Squints! Wear a cloak!
	12:59pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "Jet Pac Boomerang" by "Nick Lowe" That warbly guitar sound is the icing on a perfect cake.
	12:59pm PaulRobeson1924: Everybody’s gotta wet
	12:59pm clarke: i'm not sure if Baby is still around, but i sure did enjoy his Drop-In show last week!!
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: And it looks just like his father, Meathead.
	12:59pm clarke: rope moved. good nite.
	12:59pm greg g: Thanks Mike!
	1:05pm Marie in Chicago: Thanks, Mike!
	1:07pm Michael Shelley: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:53 No - and I use less than a teaspoon
	1:10pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:36 THANKS~
	1:58pm Cal Zone!: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:07 Thanks!
