John) - but they sure gambled their futures on Music... ...& the unique situation of TheKinks not being able to tour America in the crucial 'British Invasion' years resulted in different artistic decisions than others too...They came to America (we're talking 22-year olds or something), & their Manager abandons them !!...
	3:52am Sem Chumbo: A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me.
	3:53am Matt from Springfield in Germany: Wicked Annabella! This was a very "ahead" song for the time!

	🦇 4:51am Julie: Hey Bungalow bill...
	4:51am Sem Chumbo: G'Night, RevRab!
	4:53am b k: Maybe I have such good memories of "Schoolboys In Disgrace" because I bought it the week I was kicked out of boarding school but it seems to be a forgotten album.(I did get it in the cut out bin for .99 cents)(kicked out of boarding school for sneaking off campus to go see Rush)
	🦇 4:55am Julie: There's some good stuff on it, I played at least one on our previous shows
	4:57am Trystero: jarring change of decades.
	🦇 4:58am Julie: I think this is a really good album though
	4:59am Trystero: New stuff for me. Appreciate the education.
	🦇 5:01am Julie: Low Budget is another really good one.. It wasn't until the late 80s that things got less interesting for me, round the time of Think Visual.
	🦇 5:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Julie & Gaylord. I saw Ray Davies at The Chance in Poughkeepsie in the mid-90s. This show is great.
	🦇 5:05am Julie: thanks Ken!

	🦇 5:22am Julie: there Gaylord goes with the country-tinged songs again
	🦇 5:22am Julie: Don't forget the widget over there <---- and enter your pet as mascot!
	5:34am cgm: I don't remember this song at all, and I played the hell out of this record.
	5:36am cgm: I just saw the playlist and had to check that Ray Davies hadn't died.
	🦇 5:37am Julie: awww..that happened last time we did a Kinks show..something thought Dave had died
	5:39am cgm: This is my new favorite FMU show!
	🦇 5:40am Julie: It's not usually like this, cgm hope I don't disappoint you!
	🦇 5:40am Julie: no shoegaze this week
	🦇 5:41am Julie: We're already talking about doing a 4th Kinks show..next year I guess!
	5:42am Karol: Nothing beats a decadic musical banter on a thursday evening, love you all
	🦇 5:43am Julie: Karol you should go back and listen to the other shows we did.. october 2012..then it was a real competition
	5:46am DeaconDave: Something tells me Julie loves the Kinks.
	5:47am Matt from Springfield in Germany: The Big Sky makes its way back in! (The non-Kate one!) Kind of "Riki Tiki Tavi-ish" rapped segment.
	5:47am Sem Chumbo: Very little can compare to Julie and Gaylord warbling Shangri-la together. Gotta love free form to pieces. Having a lot of fun listening, thanks both of you!
	🦇 5:48am Julie: Yeah I've been trying to get him to do a Kinks thing with me for the Hoof & mouth. One of these days
	🦇 5:49am Julie: I think Mary & I sang my opening song one time..I can't remember
	🦇 5:49am Julie: we did it every week OFF the air
	🦇 5:50am Julie: and yes Birthday Massacre will be back next week along with one or maybe TWO bands
	5:50am Caryn: Dammit, slept in and missed the show! Thank heavens for the archives.
	🦇 5:51am Julie: Hey Caryn! good morning!
	🦇 5:52am Julie: This has been so much fun..thanks for listening everyone!
	🦇 5:54am Julie: my woman from tokyo...
	5:54am Matt from Springfield in Germany: Morning Caryn! This is an Archive I want to return to as well! It was great to listen to while getting ready here but couldn't hear parts over the shower!
	🦇 5:55am Julie: this is from 1968 and it really sounds like it's meant to be an 80s song, like the Romantics version
	🦇 5:55am Julie: shower more quietly!
	5:57am Matt from Springfield in Germany: (Drip....drop...drip...) Thanks so much for another amazing Kinks show, and thanks Gaylord for coming in so late! Looking forward to the fourth one already!
	5:58am Matt from Springfield in Germany: Have a great Thursday, everyone! :)
	🦇 5:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Glad there are more Kinks songs for future shows. Have a good week. Looking forward to the next special.
	9:45am V Priceless: Hi Julie & Gaylord! What an incredible show! Can't wait to catch the archive! God save The Kinks!
	9:54am kat330: @ 10/23/14 5:22am Julie: I'm only at the start of the archive, but in the first two-song match-up, I thought your "So Mystifying" had a bit more country than G.'s pick. But yours was my pick IAE. :)
	10:12am kat330: Utterly agree w/ both your picks from "Kinda Kinks" as well as your reasons for each! "Tired of Waiting" was, IIRC, the very first record I bought on my own.
	11:13am kat330: @Julie & Gaylord: An archival delight -- thanks! Re: your harpsichord discussion: I believe they still have kits reasonably priced where you can put together your own. But you can also get a decent simulation from various synth keyboards. I use either a Korg or a Yamaha for my own harpsichord-backed tracks, and the latter keyboard is only $150 or so.
	11:46am rev peas: I love punk rocks drunken dads!!!!!!
	10:30am Frank Lim: I live for their music, it's the only thing that gets me by...

John) - but they sure gambled their futures on Music... ...& the unique situation of TheKinks not being able to tour America in the crucial 'British Invasion' years resulted in different artistic decisions than others too...They came to America (we're talking 22-year olds or something), & their Manager abandons them !!...

	🦇 4:51am Julie: Hey Bungalow bill...
	4:51am Sem Chumbo: G'Night, RevRab!
	4:53am b k: Maybe I have such good memories of "Schoolboys In Disgrace" because I bought it the week I was kicked out of boarding school but it seems to be a forgotten album.(I did get it in the cut out bin for .99 cents)(kicked out of boarding school for sneaking off campus to go see Rush)
	🦇 4:55am Julie: There's some good stuff on it, I played at least one on our previous shows
	4:57am Trystero: jarring change of decades.
	🦇 4:58am Julie: I think this is a really good album though
	4:59am Trystero: New stuff for me. Appreciate the education.
	🦇 5:01am Julie: Low Budget is another really good one.. It wasn't until the late 80s that things got less interesting for me, round the time of Think Visual.
	🦇 5:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Julie & Gaylord. I saw Ray Davies at The Chance in Poughkeepsie in the mid-90s. This show is great.

	5:34am cgm: I don't remember this song at all, and I played the hell out of this record.
	5:36am cgm: I just saw the playlist and had to check that Ray Davies hadn't died.
	🦇 5:37am Julie: awww..that happened last time we did a Kinks show..something thought Dave had died
	5:39am cgm: This is my new favorite FMU show!
	🦇 5:40am Julie: It's not usually like this, cgm hope I don't disappoint you!
	🦇 5:40am Julie: no shoegaze this week
	🦇 5:41am Julie: We're already talking about doing a 4th Kinks show..next year I guess!
	5:42am Karol: Nothing beats a decadic musical banter on a thursday evening, love you all
	🦇 5:43am Julie: Karol you should go back and listen to the other shows we did.. october 2012..then it was a real competition
	5:46am DeaconDave: Something tells me Julie loves the Kinks.
	5:47am Matt from Springfield in Germany: The Big Sky makes its way back in! (The non-Kate one!) Kind of "Riki Tiki Tavi-ish" rapped segment.
	5:47am Sem Chumbo: Very little can compare to Julie and Gaylord warbling Shangri-la together. Gotta love free form to pieces. Having a lot of fun listening, thanks both of you!
	🦇 5:48am Julie: Yeah I've been trying to get him to do a Kinks thing with me for the Hoof & mouth. One of these days

	🦇 5:52am Julie: This has been so much fun..thanks for listening everyone!
	🦇 5:54am Julie: my woman from tokyo...
	5:54am Matt from Springfield in Germany: Morning Caryn! This is an Archive I want to return to as well! It was great to listen to while getting ready here but couldn't hear parts over the shower!
	🦇 5:55am Julie: this is from 1968 and it really sounds like it's meant to be an 80s song, like the Romantics version
	🦇 5:55am Julie: shower more quietly!
	5:57am Matt from Springfield in Germany: (Drip....drop...drip...) Thanks so much for another amazing Kinks show, and thanks Gaylord for coming in so late! Looking forward to the fourth one already!
	5:58am Matt from Springfield in Germany: Have a great Thursday, everyone! :)
	🦇 5:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Glad there are more Kinks songs for future shows. Have a good week. Looking forward to the next special.
	9:45am V Priceless: Hi Julie & Gaylord! What an incredible show! Can't wait to catch the archive! God save The Kinks!
	9:54am kat330: @ 10/23/14 5:22am Julie: I'm only at the start of the archive, but in the first two-song match-up, I thought your "So Mystifying" had a bit more country than G.'s pick. But yours was my pick IAE. :)
	10:12am kat330: Utterly agree w/ both your picks from "Kinda Kinks" as well as your reasons for each! "Tired of Waiting" was, IIRC, the very first record I bought on my own.
	11:13am kat330: @Julie & Gaylord: An archival delight -- thanks! Re: your harpsichord discussion: I believe they still have kits reasonably priced where you can put together your own. But you can also get a decent simulation from various synth keyboards. I use either a Korg or a Yamaha for my own harpsichord-backed tracks, and the latter keyboard is only $150 or so.
	11:46am rev peas: I love punk rocks drunken dads!!!!!!
	10:30am Frank Lim: I live for their music, it's the only thing that gets me by...
