	12:01pm βrian: Ok, Aqua Socks on. Ready to splash.
	12:02pm Meghan: afternoon!!!
	12:03pm doctorjazz: Nice, haven't heard this Los Lobos album in a while. Ready to Park here for a bit, hi!
	12:04pm glenn: and will you be playing slayer today, miss underwater?
	12:05pm glenn: los lobos is easily the loudest concert i have ever attended, oddly enough.
	12:05pm βrian: Slayer? What about Möist?
	12:06pm Meghan: Nope.... sorry.... no metal today....
	12:07pm KP: Just heard Nick Lowe somewhere elsewhere. We're halfway there
	12:07pm βrian: I heard that about Wilco. So loud that folks had to get out. Is it the case that touring bands sometimes hire local sound board people?
	12:08pm doctorjazz: I went to see Wilco last year in Brooklyn, didn't see louder than a rock concert ought to be from my recollection (not that it was QUIET...)
	12:09pm doctorjazz: (the actually did end on a quiet, acoustic set, but that's not the same).
	12:09pm βrian: Yeah, I was surprised to hear that report from friends.
	12:10pm still b/p: The friendly underwater dudes on your playlist archive page have me recalling another friendly (we hope) underwater dude just seen above-water at a local kite-fest last weekend. www.visitportland.com...
	12:12pm Meghan: Awwww, i like the octopus kite! That's great!
	12:15pm Hugo (NL): Go Megan on Vinyl!!!
	12:15pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Meghan, and Underwater denizens.
	12:15pm Meghan: Hey there Hugo and Sem!!! Yep, vinyl central over here!
	12:17pm Parq: Still b/p, that is a wonderful pic -- thanks!
	12:19pm still b/p: I love that some maker said, "OK, so... a kite. I think I'll make a.....GIANT OCTOPUS!"
	12:24pm glenn: inconsistent temperature is going to be a thing this summer.
	12:25pm still b/p: Stranded LP not one of my Roxy favorites, but that's a good track I haven't heard in forever.
	12:25pm glenn: jesus, that's a big ass kite.
	12:27pm glenn: jerry hall as mermaid, if memory serves.
	12:29pm P-90: Greetings Meghan @Vinyl Central and Parketeers!
	12:30pm P-90: Haven't heard this Roxy in years, nice to be reacquainted
	12:32pm Meghan: Hey there P-90!
	12:33pm still b/p: Jerry Hall on Sirens cover. Marilyn Cole on Stranded. That's not in my head trivia vault....I had to look because I never can keep all the Roxy cover model whichwhatchamawho straight.
	12:34pm Meghan: Who were the 2 on the cover throwing spears?
	12:38pm still b/p: Flesh and Blood...."The front cover models are Aimee Stephenson (at the front) and Shelley Mann; the model on the back cover is Roslyn Bolton (her modelling name was Ashley)."
	12:38pm KP: Marie Hoy sounds great, as do Friends
	12:39pm glenn: huh. they should have just used aimee mann. save them the cost of one model.
	12:41pm doctorjazz: Sounding good over my radio, vinyl sounding good? Something to it, even on line.
	12:41pm glenn: the models by cover. www.udiscovermusic.com...
	12:41pm still b/p: "Hush, hush, keep heads down now, javelins carry..."
	12:42pm Meghan: All of the Roxy Music models seem to have this similar quality....
	12:43pm glenn: leggy blondes?
	12:44pm still b/p: Are ya winking about the transvestite rumors, or the Ferry actual hook-up history?
	12:46pm Meghan: hahahaha....
	12:56pm Parq: That cover-music piece has one of my new favorite items of understatement, referring to Kate Muller's marriage to "Chris Jagger, whose brother has fronted a popular beat combo since the 60s."
	12:59pm glenn: a sordid past?
	1:01pm The Oscar: A bunch of my friends had Dave Herlihy from O Positive as a professor at Northeastern. Met him a few times-- really nice guy!
	1:01pm glenn: not that it's any of my beeswax.
	1:02pm Meghan: Aren't all teenager pasts sordid?
	1:02pm Meghan: Woah! What did he teach?
	1:04pm The Oscar: Audio recording, if I recall correctly. A friend once enlisted me to record a Daniel Johnston cover for one of his classes, and I'm told he was impressed!
	1:04pm The Oscar: Also the record store I used to work at in Cambridge had a ton of sealed O Positive LPs-- if you ever find yourself up here, I'd almost guarantee they still have some.
	1:05pm glenn: i grew up on a farm a million miles from anywhere. my past didn't really become sordid until i finished high school and got a car. still a teenager, but only barely.
	1:07pm Meghan: Oh what record store.... I was just up there for Mom's day.... though didn't get into the city. I had found a bunch of records in a store on the border of Allston, near the Paradise....
	1:09pm The Oscar: I was at Planet Records in Harvard Square (formerly of Kendall) for many years. Sounds like you were at In Your Ear-- great store!
	1:10pm Meghan: It's been so long, I forgot all the names.... I used to always hit Mystery Train... that was my favorite
	1:13pm The Oscar: Alas, Mystery Train Boston is gone; they still have stores in Amherst and Gloucester, though I don't think they're actually affiliated with each other anymore. I grew up in central MA, so the Amherst store was the hub of my musical education.
	1:16pm Meghan: I was curious if the one in Gloucester still existed. The singer from Gigalo Aunts worked at the Newbury St. location
	1:19pm The Oscar: They moved down the road a few years back, and the new space is actually ENORMOUS. It's really funny how many Boston music legends still work the stores-- Jeff Connolly from the Lyres and Peter Prescott from Mission of Burma worked at Looney Tunes right up until they closed. I think Barrence Whitfield might still work at the Record Exchange in Salem.
	1:21pm Doug Schulkind: Salem 66 once crashed at my friend Dan's parents' house in Athens, GA. Hi Meghan!
	1:22pm Meghan: Hey there Doug! I'm now itching to go record shopping....
	1:24pm Doug Schulkind: The famous Jerry's Records is two blocks from my house. Just sayin'.
	1:24pm Meghan: Road trips!
	1:27pm The Oscar: Honestly, I'd recommend just about any of the older shops in the Boston area-- a lot of this stuff is both plentiful and cheap up here!
	1:28pm Sean from Bridgeport: Jerry's is a sight to behold!
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: My boys!
	1:33pm Parq: Never got to see Scruffy, sad to say (Moons of Jupiter is an all time favorite of mine), but was lucky enough to see the Del Fs twice. Terrific live band.
	1:36pm The Oscar: @Parq Scruffy the Cat was scheduled to play the TT the Bear's anniversary show a few years back, but cancelled at the last minute (for reasons that would soon become sadly obvious). Great show anyway, though.
	1:37pm βrian: On felafel and one taco later, glad to be back beneath the waves.
	1:38pm Meghan: Feeling human with food in belly
	1:41pm ɨkɛ: HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO!
	1:43pm Meghan: speaking of food..... Ike! I want that food!
	1:44pm βrian: I just read an article that mentioned the difficulty of eating while underwater. These were cave divers who covered 7 miles in 20 hours.
	1:46pm Meghan: hahahaha
	1:56pm Dominick: Yesss!
	2:00pm still b/p: Boston record store talk made me think of Michael Fremer's bits and parodies for record store ads on WBCN in the 70s. Now I learn he went on to become a noted audiophile writer and evangelist for vinyl, among other things. One article about him starts: "This is Michael Fremer. He's listening to "Avalon" by Roxy Music on his $350,000 stereo system."
	2:01pm βrian: See ya. Thanks.
