	11:03am Daybreak and the Smokey Room: What’s cookin’ in the Handy Kitchen?
	11:04am Roger: Who will come first, the Lord, or the Lorax?
	11:05am clarke: hey now this is a family show
	11:05am Daybreak and the Smokey Room: @Martinibomb says, “Time to make the doughnuts...”
	11:05am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): And another huzzah for Martinibomb!
	11:07am Martinibomb: Hah gee wiz I'm blushing a little and it's just text chat thanks everyone!
	11:07am Handy Haversack: @Daybreak: Brunch Totchos!
	11:07am Daybreak and the Smokey Room: Jezz, and I thought that we had troubles...
	11:07am Martinibomb: I wish Harry Nilsson had been a guest on the Muppet Show.
	11:09am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Martinibomb: wow, yeah, he was kinda like a muppet
	11:09am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Coconut woulda been a perfect tune for them!
	11:09am GeorgeSimian: Martinibomb: Are you sure he wasn't? Kind of remember Lime in the Coconut on there
	11:09am Michael Shelley: My Old Desk
	11:10am Martinibomb: Oh I remember Lime in the Coconut - that's as close as we got
	11:10am Michael Shelley: videosift.com...
	11:10am clarke: Wayne Everett is blowing my mind, kinda. i am always surprised when someone makes an album that is SO good and i completely missed it.
	11:11am clarke: the title of the album i refer to is KingsQueens
	11:11am GeorgeSimian: I guess just the song. I googled it... "Coconut" was performed in episode 410 of The Muppet Show by Kermit, who was in a hospital bed with a "twisted flipper." In the skit, the nurse, doctor, and hospital room all become gradually wilder until Kermit finally hides under the covers. When he re-emerges, the entire room is a jungle, the nurse has a painted face, and the doctor is a Witch Doctor. At the end of the skit everything returns abruptly to normal.
	11:12am Martinibomb: Yeh I loved that skit. It always stuck out in my head. I just wish they'd had him as a musical guest.
	11:13am StringOFperils: Happy Saturday. Cheers everyone. Drink 'em bowl up !
	11:13am Roger: Michael, I miss your smiling face and stripedy shirts!
	11:14am clarke: Yxabat?
	11:14am Juke Joint Jonny: This is my absolute fave Slim Gaillard band name.
	11:15am Hughie Considine: "Coconut" also has the distinction of being a one-chord song that charted. There are not many -- "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" is another.
	11:15am Sean: Andy Kaufman's act?
	11:15am Daybreak and the Smokey Room: Well I’ll be a Tasmanian Devils uncle! Slim sounded like a Tasmanian Devil!
	11:16am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Michael Shelley: thanks for that link! And thanks for that fine Slim Gaillard!
	11:16am listener 126464: Michael, it's up there!
	11:16am Hughie Considine: Yes! What a track. Thanks to the legendary WPIX-FM for playing this a whole lot!
	11:17am Michael Shelley: Roger.... June 2021?????
	11:17am suzyhotrod: Rock and roll girl!! Yay!!
	11:17am Squints In Plymouth: Picked up those first two PCBeat records on a CD 2fer. Those both really stand up. I was mildly taken aback at how many songs made it on to my phone.
	11:17am Jay: It doesn't get any better than R&R Girl by Paul Collins' Beat!!!
	11:18am listener 126464: PIX Penthouse Party!
	11:18am Frank In Queens: Let me tell you, there's nothing better than being with a Rock and Roll Girl.
	11:19am clarke: Treasurer inna house!
	11:19am Michael Shelley: That (BEAT) album defines that sound for me.
	11:19am Sean: I think I read that Stills or Crosby made it pretty far into the Monkees casting but they chose Peter Tork because his teeth were better.
	11:20am Listener Baby: They were just a great live band too.
	11:20am Tyler H: Wow, I haven't heard Go and Say Goodbye since probably the early 1980s!
	11:20am clarke: stills (crosby not in BS)
	11:20am Squints In Plymouth: Stills's story is they wouldn't buy his songs for the Prefabs so he recommended his buddy Peter.
	11:21am Juke Joint Jonny: Rusty and Doug is so in the groove for me this rainy Saturday
	11:22am Juke Joint Jonny: Superior chicken scratching
	11:23am clarke: shealy
	11:23am GeorgeSimian: Jimmy McCracklin!! My favorite!
	11:24am Brian in New Orleans: Checking in from a locked down New Orleans ...So Grateful for WFMU more than ever!!!
	11:25am Michael Shelley: Clarke & Brian - what's the report from New Orleans? How are people surviving with out hot beignets?
	11:26am clarke: i think everyone is taking it a lot rougher than i am! it has been a perilous few weeks, family-wise, but so far so okay
	11:26am P-90: The underrated Camera Obscura
	11:26am Handy Haversack: Tots are in ... now to -cho them up ... !
	11:27am Brian in New Orleans: Cafe Du Monde is closedand honestly I am surprised at how many New Orleanians are masked and gloved
	11:27am Hoboken Jack: Michael, Suzy, Handy, 126464, everybody! Stay safe, stay rockin'!
	11:27am clarke: as is the "norm", orleanians never take anything very seriously - hence the spread
	11:28am clarke: THEN things got serious, of course, later
	11:28am Brian in New Orleans: i respectfully disagree Clarke.... No one is really out any more and most are masked
	11:29am Michael Shelley: Brian & Clarke - do you guys know each other?
	11:29am clarke: in the beginning there were parties etc - right down the block from me was a gathering of 180 people with a band!! you can disagree all you wanna
	11:29am Brian in New Orleans: but yes "We don't run from hurricanes...we drink them"
	11:29am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	11:30am Brian in New Orleans: i do not know Clarke
	11:30am clarke: i don't know clarke either
	11:30am Joe R.: Had the good fortune to hear Camera Obscura do that song live while on a cruise ship with a bunch of people in nautical dress and boy does last summer seem like an alternate universe
	11:30am Brian in New Orleans: i am right off St Claude in the 9th ward
	11:30am Baja Joe: Digging the sweet sounds here in Staten Island
	11:31am Handy Haversack: Love rainy days -- the signal is much stronger on the hardest working boom box in Brooklyn (in the bathroom).
	11:32am Brian in New Orleans: @ Micheal Shelley thanks for keeping at it!! I'm starting my day in my studio
	11:32am clarke: hey memphis is a party town too (not as much) but they took the lockdown a LOT more seriously - and hence, less deaths
	11:33am Frank In Queens: Make a list beforehand!
	11:34am clarke: truth frank!
	11:34am Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, Michael and all! I bought mint M&Ms and 3 bags of Bugles, because fuck it.
	11:34am Juke Joint Jonny: Science tells us people poop ten times as much when they are quarantined.
	11:34am mike east: Lack of tortillas totally ruined my plans for bean burritos last Monday
	11:34am Michael Shelley: had a well organized list - grocery, produce, frozen, dairy...
	11:34am listener 126464: Jack, you too.
	11:35am Jeff: People wiping their butts with tortillas
	11:35am clarke: ever shoot canned cheez into the bugles - whoa man
	11:35am Baja Joe: OMG, yes, I had to hunt down corn tortillas and found them in a bodega. Happened to be one of two bodegas where I get my Mexican food supplies.
	11:35am Michael Shelley: BUGLES!
	11:36am Greg from ZONE 5: They were only a BUCK!
	11:36am suzyhotrod: Classic flavor Frank’s Hot Sauce is completely sold out in hood. They still make bugles? Those are MSG gold
	11:36am clarke: ranch bugles?
	11:36am jake6573: Fresh fish counter was closed at fairway e86. Threw a package of frozen hailibut in the wagon ( 2 tiny pieces in the bag). Got home looked at the receipt, $24.00 for the package. WHAT !
	11:36am clarke: well... frank is HERE...ask him!!
	11:37am Greg from ZONE 5: @suzy: Yes! Hard to find regular Frank's. I visited my folks on Easter so I went to the Shop Rite in the 'burbs. Bought two big plastic jugs of Frank's.
	11:37am Baja Joe: Started watching Bosch on Prime. Didn't think I would enjoy it. I started off agreeing with my initial bad opinion, and now I'm kind of hooked. On season one and reached episode 5 in one binge session.
	11:37am Michael Shelley: Greg - you have to put them on your fingers, as caps, and eat them that way!
	11:38am clarke: these are all 1st World Problems (which is also a GREAT song by Weird Al Yankovic)
	11:38am Frank In Queens: There's a special ingredient in the Classic flavor that I've been having trouble getting a supply of due to high demand. Sorry folks! Please enjoy my other flavors in the meantime.
	11:38am Richard: I'm never quite sure what to do with a check after depositing it via photo. Fortunately, I get electronic transfers a lot more frequently than I get physical checks.
	11:38am McGroovey: I forgot how much I like Camera Obscura. I never remember to listen to them. I guess it could be easier to lock down in New Orleans and Memphis, since there are probably no tourists and other partiers in town. I've been arguing on Facebook with a Trumpist New Orelans in-law of my wife about how Trump is [not] saving America.
	11:38am scott: You were also describing Starland Vocal Band
	11:38am Corey: Morning Michael and everybody! Tortillas hard to find in Michigan too. Bought a large tub of shortening on my last supermarket sweep for tortilla production.
	11:38am Michael Shelley: HALIBUT always expensive - but so good. Hop you enjoyed it. How;d you cook it?
	11:38am Squints In Plymouth: Yeah, if they'da dropped those backing vocals just a wee lower in the mix...
	11:38am Greg from ZONE 5: Oh, of course. Making vampire fangs is also acceptable.
	11:38am P-90: That guitar tone
	11:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Nice business opportunity for Taco Bell. Pick up a meal #9 at the drive-through window — a five-pack of tortillas and a large Mountain Dew.
	11:39am Juke Joint Jonny: Queens would stand still without tortillas, Not a problem out here, thankfully.
	11:40am McGroovey: Bosch is great. I just noticed there's another season up. I guess we'll start watching it after we finish Crazy Ex-Girlfriend [mini-review: season 4 has jumped the shark; seasons 1-3 were fantastic].
	11:41am clarke: thanks for the Bosch news!!
	11:41am Listener Baby: If one isn't watching Better Call Saul, I can't help you.
	11:41am scott: ...might also like Billy Bob's 'Goliath'.
	11:41am clarke: truly the best, Baby
	11:42am spacecowboy: Mcgroovey - i love the name - almost as good as mclovin - who if he knew about fmu would be listening
	11:42am Frank In Queens: What are you going to do after Monday, Baby?
	11:43am Michael Shelley: I have 4 Saul's in the can - need to catch up!
	11:43am Listener Baby: Yikes. I hadn't thought of that. Ozark might fill in. But barely.
	11:43am clarke: things get real (w/o spoiling)
	11:44am Listener Baby: P90 Talk about tone!
	11:45am clarke: gain struct-CHAH!
	11:45am Frank In Queens: I don't know what we're going to wind up watching in Saul's place either. It's been occupying our Monday's this whole time. Gotta find something else.
	11:45am GListener MW: God I love those “WAKE UP” Nigeria compilations
	11:46am McGroovey: I deposited checks online a couple times, but one time it didn't take. The credit union's banking app always says there's an error, so there's no way to know whether the deposit took until you check the balance in a couple days. The second time, it hadn't registered, and there was nothing I could do about it. It was a $30 check from my mom that I didn't want to take anyway, so I didn't go through the hassle of doing anything about it. But I don't do the online photo deposit thing anymore.
	11:46am clarke: are you into Belgravia?
	11:46am Listener Baby: Every character in Saul, is better than the next. I could not be better.
	11:46am Frank In Queens: Don't know that one, clarke.
	11:47am clarke: a decent historical romp
	11:47am Frank In Queens: I've been watching Dispatches From Elsewhere as well, but I don't know how much longer that's running for.
	11:47am Frank In Queens: Which period?
	11:48am clarke: nothing's going to be as good as Saul -- i wonder if they are stretching out the tale for yet another season???? (w/o spoiling)
	11:48am StringOFperils: This Rami and the Reliables really nails the Arthur Alexander feel. Great stuff !!
	11:49am Michael Shelley: RAMI: audiopostcards.bandcamp.com
	11:49am clarke: Belgravia is about london, around 1840-ish
	11:49am Listener Baby: @Clarke. There will be one more after this one.
	11:49am Listener John from NJ: Hello all!
	11:49am Frank In Queens: Saul? Yes, there's one more season coming. Assuming they'll be able to actually shoot it.
	11:50am clarke: ahhhh - without spoiling
	11:50am Michael Shelley: Love the - two mics on the drums - sound
	11:50am Listener Baby: Two? One, maybe??
	11:51am Listener Baby: Nah. Two seems right. Had my headphones off.
	11:51am clarke: i was SO looking fwd to Fargo season 4 but they pushed it back - even though there were episodes in the can!! ???
	11:52am Jeremy: Love that Formulars song. Great show today.
	11:53am clarke: seems like they would get a lot more audience by showing what they got NOW
	11:53am Michael Shelley: Not sure you can say Butwell on the radio
	11:53am Michael Shelley: Thanks Jeremy!
	11:54am clarke: or "jack"
	11:56am gene sculatti: Michael, Erma total No. 1 hit! Never heard it before. Thanx for spinning.
	11:57am clarke: one of my favorite characters on Saul is the camera guy: "it's an extension of his mind"
	11:57am Dean: Maybe my favorite JR tune.
	11:57am StringOFperils: Love this old Beserkely record....great band an guitar on this. A fave.
	11:58am Lizardner Dave 2: I can't hear Jonathan Richman anymore without thinking of Jeff Tweedy's impersonation of him saying he wanted to play his set at Solid Sound without monitors because he was afraid of scaring the bugs.
	11:59am Listener Baby: @Clarke. Dead on. So easy to make shots like that pretentious. The shots are characters themselves.
	11:59am jmd: Robbie Fulks does an excellent imitation of JR as well.
	12:00pm Listener Baby: I saw JR open for Wilco. He sang at least half his songs in spanish.
	12:00pm Hughie Considine: My extremely tolerant mother-in-law only voiced irritation about one song on the CD mixes I made for my kids, which they used to listen to over and over: "Ice Cream Man."
	12:01pm clarke: hah - that reminds me of seeing joey spampinato at some sound check and claiming that the monitor in front of him "sounds like there's a peanut in there"
	12:01pm Squints In Plymouth: This Fireballs thing sounds very Raidersy. Would love to have heard a Mark Lindsay take on this in his more wild man days.
	12:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: After Adam died I was digging all around for that "Fountains of Wayne Hotline" song I've heard you play. And I'm digging and digging and I can't find it…perhaps because I thought it was a FoW song (I found it eventually.)
	12:01pm Michael Shelley: this comment board has made me laugh or smile more times in the past 1 hr then in the last few days combined - THANKS all!
	12:01pm paul: Did Tommy James record this?
	12:01pm Frank In Queens: Hey now!
	12:02pm Michael Shelley: PAUL - indeed
	12:02pm clarke: THAT is a classic greg!
	12:02pm paul: Thought so. Thanks!
	12:03pm Baja Joe: Thank you Michael for playing my version of the station ID. Loved that it came after a Jonathan Richman tune.
	12:04pm Mailman Tom: I recall buying the first Jonathan Richman album on cassette tape. I was so upset by it because it sounded like he was making fun of music. I smashed it using a hammer! I've since upgraded my opinion of his music. LOL
	12:05pm clarke: he's still making fun of music - but it is great
	12:05pm Dean: G-I-R-L F-R-E-N
	12:06pm clarke: High Tea is something different to some
	12:06pm clarke: probably Bo Diddley inclusive
	12:06pm Handy Haversack: For months, HP Sauce has been on the shopping list. And we finally went to the store that actually carries it on our last Quarantine Food Scurry -- and they only had the fruit flavor.
	12:07pm Michael Shelley: Me & Jonathan: www.michaelshelley.net...
	12:07pm cloonmore: Bo Diddley is all-time greatest #1 hitmaker. Michael, your early mention of buying bootlegs at Harvey Sound instantly transported me back 40 years ago and my favorite place to hang out in White Plains when i was 17. Lots of discs bought there. thanks for the great show.
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: @gene, that Erma Franklin track was included on the recent "Honeybeat - Groovy 60s Girl Pop" collection.
	12:09pm Fendibull: Thanks for the Rock and Roll and Blues Mike. Followed you on twitter before I realized there was a chat here.
	12:09pm clarke: sonny I or II??
	12:10pm spacecowboy: crap i missed the fireballs
	12:10pm clarke: ah it is I
	12:12pm StringOFperils: I spent the whole summer of 1972 behind the middle school until I could make a Marine Band sound like this.
	12:14pm Fendibull: brings back good 90's Powerpop here. Thank you and RIP Adam schlesinger
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: Brunch Totchos were a hit! Though now I am kicking myself for not having Bugles for an appetizer. Thanks, Greg!
	12:15pm jake6573: @michael Shelley, defrosted on countertop, salt, pepper, garlic powder, threw in oven @450 for 10 mins. Fish had no flavor, hit it with some Franks Hot Sauce. That helped.
	12:16pm clarke: Treasurer saves the day AGAIN!
	12:16pm Larry O: Definitely a number 1 song! Strange, but now that I’m single again, songs like this are relevant again
	12:18pm StringOFperils: Much neophyte love-for-show happening here.
	12:18pm Doug in JC: Listen to him showing off!
	12:19pm Fendibull: Thanks for the Carter Lewis, I got it from Jimmy Page's compilation album: This Guitar Kills. Great Album for Led Zeppelin fans who's into 60's music.
	12:19pm Dean: The falcon nest atop the Berkeley campanile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_ghtsndkf4 If you walk about 1/3 mile due NW from here, you'll arrive a coffee shop that was formerly Rather Ripped Records, a Beserkly Records hub. Cover of the first Greg Kihn shows him in front of the store window.
	12:21pm Doug in JC: There's a falcon nest across the street from WFMU but they don't seem to be using it this year
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: In the fantastic A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs podcast, the narrator consistently refers to Mike Stoller's surname as rhyming with "stah-ler" -- I always thought it rhymed with "bowler." Who's right?
	12:23pm Larry O: Beach Boys did a great version - “Student Demonstration Time”
	12:24pm clarke: i've always been of the bowler school
	12:24pm Martinibomb: Adding this Ray Sharpe track to my karaoke set list. Damn!
	12:25pm Cat: Mary Jane riff sounds a tad like Paperback Writer
	12:25pm spacecowboy: first time hearing this show - it is fantastic
	12:26pm sonnyspop: Ahhh! So soothing.
	12:26pm spacecowboy: ill go so far as to call it groovey
	12:26pm steveo: besides being a #1 hit, was this also a billboard #1?
	12:26pm sonnyspop: Day After Day, that is.
	12:26pm Fendibull: Yeah, the the first sight I thought it was paperback Writer.
	12:26pm spacecowboy: now i dont even mind staying inside--- listening by computer
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Doug in JC! I owe you an e-mail!
	12:27pm Tyler H: This song has always just screamed "McCartney"!
	12:27pm Jeezy: See, THIS is the version of "Day After Day" I recall being a hit when I was a little kid... but when I go on Spotify I hear a different singer?!
	12:27pm Ciggy: Badfinger is the 1st band I saw live! Lincoln H.S. Yonkers, NY
	12:27pm Jeezy: The whole band Badfinger screamed McCartney!
	12:28pm clarke: that might be Joey Molland's Badfinger (this is pete ham's voice here)
	12:28pm SeanG: THE DUKES!!!!!!!!
	12:29pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You are a careful shopper?!!? I can't believe it. It's not as if you have discussed the cost of goods on this show before.
	12:29pm Listener Baby: I turned my 16 year old to The Dukes. She dug them.
	12:29pm sonnyspop: A double punch of ahhhh with Vanishing Girl. Hand to heart.
	12:29pm Jeezy: XTC had the most amazing rhythm section from like 1980-1984. It's really amazing if you listen closely...
	12:29pm StringOFperils: Like the greatest Hollies record that the Hollies never made.
	12:30pm yerfriendpaul: The Dukes!!!
	12:30pm Jimmy Wipper: Burning Shed is giving away a free Andy Partridge demo from the "bubblegum record" that he never released. burningshed.com...
	12:31pm Ralphus: Don't understand why FMU doesn't play more XTC... or any for that matter
	12:31pm clarke: whippah!!!
	12:31pm Doug in JC: @Handy Hey! Take your time
	12:32pm Michael Shelley: 11 pages of search results for XTC: wfmu.org...
	12:32pm Jimmy Wipper: Hey Clarke!
	12:32pm Doug in JC: Get his ass Michael!
	12:33pm Jeezy: @Ralphus, it's an interesting question. I once joked with Gaylord that FMU prefers bands that SOUND LIKE bands like the Beatles and XTC over those actual bands, haha... But he had valid responses...
	12:33pm clarke: you must be talking to the news dept!!
	12:33pm Jeezy: Oh wow.... Michael knocked us out the box, @Ralphus!
	12:33pm Michael Shelley: NOT meant in that way - just informing!
	12:34pm Jimmy Wipper: Who told you that, Clarke? Your FRIENDS?!?
	12:34pm Suzie: Hi MS! Listening in SF...
	12:34pm clarke: BOOM!
	12:35pm clarke: you sound drunk!
	12:35pm Jeezy: Haha, thanks Michael!
	12:35pm Jimmy Wipper: But I WON!
	12:35pm Listener Baby: RE: XTC.. Ween is the band FMU neglects. IMNHO
	12:36pm Jeezy: Careful, Listener Baby.... Michael can bring that up!
	12:36pm Gaylord Fields: @Jeezy: I hope my response was to send you this (scroll to bottom of next page, and then to the following one): wfmu.org...
	12:36pm SeanG: just heard Ween this morning-- on double dip recess
	12:36pm plasticguitarman: Anybody hearing a hint of that song by The Spinners I’ll Be Around - in Vanishing Girl?
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: @Listener Baby: Clay Pigeon definitely plays some Ween. Roger and Amanda played one tune this morning. -- But there are lots of songs from Ween I'd love to hear!
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: SIX PAGES of ween: wfmu.org...
	12:38pm Listener Baby: @Jeezy. I dare him!!
	12:38pm Gaylord Fields: I think my actual response was that, as a freeform DJ on a freeform station, any potential playlist is chosen from literally every song ever recorded, rather than a few hundred, or at more generous stations, a few thousand.
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: DJ Pseu Braun is an XTC devotee, side projects and all!
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: No fair using history, Michael!
	12:39pm clarke: james - you missed the opening tune of the show
	12:39pm Listener Baby: To be fair, many Ween songs can not be played.
	12:39pm StringOFperils: a HOLY record. (BOws down.)
	12:40pm Dean: Apple 1841, "Day After Day," was released in Nov. '71. Through Dec., Billboard predicted it would climb the charts. On Dec. 18, '71, it reached 35 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart. By Christmas it had climbed to 31. On New Years Day '72 it was at 30, just behind the New Seekers' "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing." "Let It Be" was then at 15. By Jan. 15, it climbed to 19, just ahead of "Let It Be" at 20. Made it to 10 on Jan. 29. ("American Pie" was topping the EL chart at this point.)
	12:40pm Michael Shelley: G- You dont think of FMU as "the Beatles station" so that post is really interesting
	12:40pm Mailman Tom: The Harder They Come is the best Reggae album ever made.
	12:40pm Jeezy: Yes, @Gaylord! The sheer number of possible songs is a factor...
	12:40pm Michael Shelley: Hi Suzie - and Hi to John!
	12:40pm Jimmy Wipper: WFMU needs to play a double shot of Stinkfinger!
	12:41pm Gaylord Fields: Also, my personal Beatles tally takes into account that I've been doing a regular playlist for only 8 of my 28 years on WFMU.
	12:41pm clarke: BOOM!!
	12:41pm Listener Baby: Last I was at FMU, I think you all had two/three Ween CDs in the Library.
	12:41pm Bob a: Can hardly make out a word Scotty’s saying, but I like it.
	12:43pm Dean: By Feb. 26, '72, "Day After Day" had dropped to 27. Nilsson's "Without You" was no. 1.
	12:43pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Ralphus don't attack us!
	12:43pm Ralphus: OK Mr. Shelley, I stand corrected.
	12:43pm Gaylord Fields: @Michael: I recall once there being some quizzical reactions from some quarters at WFMU when it was revealed internally that the Beatles are among the most played artists at WFMU.
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: Gonna be a real shock when Rex goes all Beatles, Ween, and XTC on Fool's Paradise today. (I just checked with the dog -- it's Saturday!)
	12:43pm Joe B: greetings Michael and all!
	12:44pm Michael Shelley: Forward and fiaca Menacle and den gosaca stevecotler.com...
	12:44pm Dennis Diken: great show, Mikey!!
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: What they said about "Paint It Black" -- one of pop music's great mysteries...
	12:44pm SeanG: hey Joe B.!!
	12:44pm Hubig Pie: "Without you " written by members of Badfinger
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Joe!
	12:45pm Greg from ZONE 5: Gaylord! Dennis! Belock! More stars than there are in the heavens!
	12:45pm StringOFperils: thx loads for the Scotty lyrics schloarly thingie.
	12:45pm StringOFperils: misspells scholarly....ha ha
	12:46pm clarke: stars after stars after staaaaaahs
	12:46pm vertual: Really enjoying the show Michael. Not a clunker in the bunch. Thanks for another great Saturday start.
	12:46pm spacecowboy: good one
	12:47pm Jeezy: I wanna talk more about XTC's rhythm section. I have developed this argument only recently. As great as say, Black Sea is, they had even better albums to come, of course. However, by Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead their rhythms had been greatly simplified, versus the almost African grooves on some stuff from 80-84. Thoughts?!
	12:47pm ?: Yeah, nothin but number one hits today!
	12:47pm juan: Thanks for the link on the begin of Draw your Brakes lyrics. Always wondered about that. Also that is one of my very favorite songs for one of my favorite albums.
	12:48pm spacecowboy: this is good one - sounds like Kentucky rain a little bit
	12:48pm spacecowboy: good stuff
	12:48pm Gaylord Fields: @Greg: Count yourself among us!
	12:48pm Ronald: What the heck is going on? I never felt so bad and Michael is playing some of my favorite songs! Badfinger Big Star. Thanks! Not that I’m feeling any better...
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Right up there with the Everly's version.
	12:49pm Dean: Wow, the review in the March 8, '72, issue of Variety of Badfinger's NY debut at Carnegie Hall! "Badfinger, sounding at times like the old Beatles, were a smash at Carnegie Hall, Wednesday (1), their first N.Y. concert. The Ron Delsener promotion grossed $15,000, a sellout at a $6 top. Short sets by Michael Gately and Al Kooper also scored." Four paragraphs follow.
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: Ralphus: as a teen I remember calling Vin Scelsa at WNEW and telling him he didnt play enough Jonathan Richman - and he YELLED at me!
	12:50pm Jeezy: @Michael... Could Vin really yell? It always sounds like he was too busy choking on his own neck to raise his voice...
	12:50pm spacecowboy: just relaxing inside diggin the grooviness music - screw the virus
	12:50pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Gaylord: I consider myself more of a gas giant.
	12:50pm Michael Shelley: Jeezy - always surprised Colin Moulding want asked to play on more non XTC sessions - he's SO SO SO good & unique
	12:51pm Listener Baby: Baby. Gonna say that was almost 18 years ago. Remember, I could go. Flaat on my back.
	12:51pm Gaylord Fields: @Hughie Considine: Mystery solved — they were discussing if the title is correct with or without the comma.
	12:51pm SeanG: @jeezy their early stuff was spazztic and ska and reggae influenced, then they changed little by little and got more beach boys influenced...
	12:52pm DG: Not sure if Sonny Charles was quite correct. My Phil Spector Greatest Hits double-vinyl album lists Spector, Irwin Levine & Toni Wine (a woman) as the writers. (Of course, Phil could've just claimed writing credit, but in that case it's a man & woman---not sure of the background of Ms. Wine).
	12:53pm clarke: @gaylord: ha ha ha ha!!
	12:54pm Dennis Diken: I had the great pleasure of playing and hanging with Sonny Charles for a couple weeks in Florence, AL in ‘16. nice man, class act
	12:54pm Gaylord Fields: @DG: Wine and Levine are both Jewish, and Phil typically changed one chord and three words and took a co-songwriting credit.
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: @Gaylord ... yes -- I can rest easier now! (However, the answer is no comma. I mean, if Mick left a little caesura before "black," possibly, but that comma came from a Decca marketing department functionary, possibly named Nigel.
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Ahhhhh. What a great show today, Michael! Thanks so much -- and to your BOARD OPS Skeleton in JC!
	12:55pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: Thanks! Hope you're well, pal!
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks for the great show, Michael! Had things almost feeling like a Saturday of old. Be well everybody!
	12:55pm clarke: we're only making plans for.....
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: @Jeezy, XTC hired Dave Mattacks for Nonsuch ... different kind of player than Terry Chambers.
	12:56pm StringOFperils: Bongo incursion !
	12:57pm clarke: things are good NOW!!! we'll take it - thnx for reel-y good shew MS!!
	12:57pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Michael & Ruth! And one final item of note: every episode of MST3K is on YouTube for free.
	12:57pm listener 126464: Michael that was real nice thanks.
	12:57pm Jeezy: Ah, thanks all! Yes, Terry Chambers was a genius...
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: This was the place to be today. Thanks, Michael and all who listen!
	12:57pm sonnyspop: Great show, Michael.
	12:57pm KWilde: Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Mitchell! (@Greg)
	12:57pm James in ATL: Great show! Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm Daybreak and the Smokey Room: Ruth in the Booth!
	12:58pm Micheal: Thanks, Michael!! Wonderful show!
	12:58pm Richard: Fun show! Thanks, all.
	12:58pm Hubig Pie: Club MST3k is a happy place
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feeling....
	12:59pm vertual: with 2 minutes of bonus board pre-rex interlude
	12:59pm listener 126464: ha ha ha
	12:59pm Sonny Rickles: Yes, great show!Thanks, Mike!
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: These Italian beatniks sure can strum ...
	1:02pm Michael Shelley: THANKS ALL!

	11:05am clarke: hey now this is a family show
	11:05am Daybreak and the Smokey Room: @Martinibomb says, “Time to make the doughnuts...”
	11:05am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): And another huzzah for Martinibomb!
	11:07am Martinibomb: Hah gee wiz I'm blushing a little and it's just text chat thanks everyone!
	11:07am Handy Haversack: @Daybreak: Brunch Totchos!
	11:07am Daybreak and the Smokey Room: Jezz, and I thought that we had troubles...
	11:07am Martinibomb: I wish Harry Nilsson had been a guest on the Muppet Show.
	11:09am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Martinibomb: wow, yeah, he was kinda like a muppet
	11:09am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Coconut woulda been a perfect tune for them!

	11:10am Michael Shelley: videosift.com...
	11:10am clarke: Wayne Everett is blowing my mind, kinda. i am always surprised when someone makes an album that is SO good and i completely missed it.
	11:11am clarke: the title of the album i refer to is KingsQueens
	11:11am GeorgeSimian: I guess just the song. I googled it... "Coconut" was performed in episode 410 of The Muppet Show by Kermit, who was in a hospital bed with a "twisted flipper." In the skit, the nurse, doctor, and hospital room all become gradually wilder until Kermit finally hides under the covers. When he re-emerges, the entire room is a jungle, the nurse has a painted face, and the doctor is a Witch Doctor. At the end of the skit everything returns abruptly to normal.
	11:12am Martinibomb: Yeh I loved that skit. It always stuck out in my head. I just wish they'd had him as a musical guest.
	11:13am StringOFperils: Happy Saturday. Cheers everyone. Drink 'em bowl up !

	11:14am clarke: Yxabat?
	11:14am Juke Joint Jonny: This is my absolute fave Slim Gaillard band name.
	11:15am Hughie Considine: "Coconut" also has the distinction of being a one-chord song that charted. There are not many -- "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" is another.
	11:15am Sean: Andy Kaufman's act?
	11:15am Daybreak and the Smokey Room: Well I’ll be a Tasmanian Devils uncle! Slim sounded like a Tasmanian Devil!
	11:16am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Michael Shelley: thanks for that link! And thanks for that fine Slim Gaillard!
	11:16am listener 126464: Michael, it's up there!
	11:16am Hughie Considine: Yes! What a track. Thanks to the legendary WPIX-FM for playing this a whole lot!
	11:17am Michael Shelley: Roger.... June 2021?????
	11:17am suzyhotrod: Rock and roll girl!! Yay!!
	11:17am Squints In Plymouth: Picked up those first two PCBeat records on a CD 2fer. Those both really stand up. I was mildly taken aback at how many songs made it on to my phone.
	11:17am Jay: It doesn't get any better than R&R Girl by Paul Collins' Beat!!!
	11:18am listener 126464: PIX Penthouse Party!
	11:18am Frank In Queens: Let me tell you, there's nothing better than being with a Rock and Roll Girl.
	11:19am clarke: Treasurer inna house!
	11:19am Michael Shelley: That (BEAT) album defines that sound for me.
	11:19am Sean: I think I read that Stills or Crosby made it pretty far into the Monkees casting but they chose Peter Tork because his teeth were better.
	11:20am Listener Baby: They were just a great live band too.
	11:20am Tyler H: Wow, I haven't heard Go and Say Goodbye since probably the early 1980s!
	11:20am clarke: stills (crosby not in BS)
	11:20am Squints In Plymouth: Stills's story is they wouldn't buy his songs for the Prefabs so he recommended his buddy Peter.
	11:21am Juke Joint Jonny: Rusty and Doug is so in the groove for me this rainy Saturday
	11:22am Juke Joint Jonny: Superior chicken scratching
	11:23am clarke: shealy
	11:23am GeorgeSimian: Jimmy McCracklin!! My favorite!
	11:24am Brian in New Orleans: Checking in from a locked down New Orleans ...So Grateful for WFMU more than ever!!!
	11:25am Michael Shelley: Clarke & Brian - what's the report from New Orleans? How are people surviving with out hot beignets?
	11:26am clarke: i think everyone is taking it a lot rougher than i am! it has been a perilous few weeks, family-wise, but so far so okay
	11:26am P-90: The underrated Camera Obscura
	11:26am Handy Haversack: Tots are in ... now to -cho them up ... !
	11:27am Brian in New Orleans: Cafe Du Monde is closedand honestly I am surprised at how many New Orleanians are masked and gloved
	11:27am Hoboken Jack: Michael, Suzy, Handy, 126464, everybody! Stay safe, stay rockin'!
	11:27am clarke: as is the "norm", orleanians never take anything very seriously - hence the spread
	11:28am clarke: THEN things got serious, of course, later
	11:28am Brian in New Orleans: i respectfully disagree Clarke.... No one is really out any more and most are masked
	11:29am Michael Shelley: Brian & Clarke - do you guys know each other?
	11:29am clarke: in the beginning there were parties etc - right down the block from me was a gathering of 180 people with a band!! you can disagree all you wanna
	11:29am Brian in New Orleans: but yes "We don't run from hurricanes...we drink them"
	11:29am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	11:30am Brian in New Orleans: i do not know Clarke
	11:30am clarke: i don't know clarke either
	11:30am Joe R.: Had the good fortune to hear Camera Obscura do that song live while on a cruise ship with a bunch of people in nautical dress and boy does last summer seem like an alternate universe
	11:30am Brian in New Orleans: i am right off St Claude in the 9th ward
	11:30am Baja Joe: Digging the sweet sounds here in Staten Island
	11:31am Handy Haversack: Love rainy days -- the signal is much stronger on the hardest working boom box in Brooklyn (in the bathroom).
	11:32am Brian in New Orleans: @ Micheal Shelley thanks for keeping at it!! I'm starting my day in my studio
	11:32am clarke: hey memphis is a party town too (not as much) but they took the lockdown a LOT more seriously - and hence, less deaths
	11:33am Frank In Queens: Make a list beforehand!
	11:34am clarke: truth frank!
	11:34am Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, Michael and all! I bought mint M&Ms and 3 bags of Bugles, because fuck it.
	11:34am Juke Joint Jonny: Science tells us people poop ten times as much when they are quarantined.
	11:34am mike east: Lack of tortillas totally ruined my plans for bean burritos last Monday
	11:34am Michael Shelley: had a well organized list - grocery, produce, frozen, dairy...
	11:34am listener 126464: Jack, you too.
	11:35am Jeff: People wiping their butts with tortillas
	11:35am clarke: ever shoot canned cheez into the bugles - whoa man
	11:35am Baja Joe: OMG, yes, I had to hunt down corn tortillas and found them in a bodega. Happened to be one of two bodegas where I get my Mexican food supplies.
	11:35am Michael Shelley: BUGLES!
	11:36am Greg from ZONE 5: They were only a BUCK!
	11:36am suzyhotrod: Classic flavor Frank’s Hot Sauce is completely sold out in hood. They still make bugles? Those are MSG gold
	11:36am clarke: ranch bugles?
	11:36am jake6573: Fresh fish counter was closed at fairway e86. Threw a package of frozen hailibut in the wagon ( 2 tiny pieces in the bag). Got home looked at the receipt, $24.00 for the package. WHAT !
	11:36am clarke: well... frank is HERE...ask him!!
	11:37am Greg from ZONE 5: @suzy: Yes! Hard to find regular Frank's. I visited my folks on Easter so I went to the Shop Rite in the 'burbs. Bought two big plastic jugs of Frank's.
	11:37am Baja Joe: Started watching Bosch on Prime. Didn't think I would enjoy it. I started off agreeing with my initial bad opinion, and now I'm kind of hooked. On season one and reached episode 5 in one binge session.
	11:37am Michael Shelley: Greg - you have to put them on your fingers, as caps, and eat them that way!
	11:38am clarke: these are all 1st World Problems (which is also a GREAT song by Weird Al Yankovic)
	11:38am Frank In Queens: There's a special ingredient in the Classic flavor that I've been having trouble getting a supply of due to high demand. Sorry folks! Please enjoy my other flavors in the meantime.
	11:38am Richard: I'm never quite sure what to do with a check after depositing it via photo. Fortunately, I get electronic transfers a lot more frequently than I get physical checks.
	11:38am McGroovey: I forgot how much I like Camera Obscura. I never remember to listen to them. I guess it could be easier to lock down in New Orleans and Memphis, since there are probably no tourists and other partiers in town. I've been arguing on Facebook with a Trumpist New Orelans in-law of my wife about how Trump is [not] saving America.
	11:38am scott: You were also describing Starland Vocal Band
	11:38am Corey: Morning Michael and everybody! Tortillas hard to find in Michigan too. Bought a large tub of shortening on my last supermarket sweep for tortilla production.
	11:38am Michael Shelley: HALIBUT always expensive - but so good. Hop you enjoyed it. How;d you cook it?
	11:38am Squints In Plymouth: Yeah, if they'da dropped those backing vocals just a wee lower in the mix...
	11:38am Greg from ZONE 5: Oh, of course. Making vampire fangs is also acceptable.
	11:38am P-90: That guitar tone
	11:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Nice business opportunity for Taco Bell. Pick up a meal #9 at the drive-through window — a five-pack of tortillas and a large Mountain Dew.
	11:39am Juke Joint Jonny: Queens would stand still without tortillas, Not a problem out here, thankfully.
	11:40am McGroovey: Bosch is great. I just noticed there's another season up. I guess we'll start watching it after we finish Crazy Ex-Girlfriend [mini-review: season 4 has jumped the shark; seasons 1-3 were fantastic].
	11:41am clarke: thanks for the Bosch news!!
	11:41am Listener Baby: If one isn't watching Better Call Saul, I can't help you.
	11:41am scott: ...might also like Billy Bob's 'Goliath'.
	11:41am clarke: truly the best, Baby
	11:42am spacecowboy: Mcgroovey - i love the name - almost as good as mclovin - who if he knew about fmu would be listening
	11:42am Frank In Queens: What are you going to do after Monday, Baby?
	11:43am Michael Shelley: I have 4 Saul's in the can - need to catch up!
	11:43am Listener Baby: Yikes. I hadn't thought of that. Ozark might fill in. But barely.
	11:43am clarke: things get real (w/o spoiling)
	11:44am Listener Baby: P90 Talk about tone!
	11:45am clarke: gain struct-CHAH!
	11:45am Frank In Queens: I don't know what we're going to wind up watching in Saul's place either. It's been occupying our Monday's this whole time. Gotta find something else.
	11:45am GListener MW: God I love those “WAKE UP” Nigeria compilations
	11:46am McGroovey: I deposited checks online a couple times, but one time it didn't take. The credit union's banking app always says there's an error, so there's no way to know whether the deposit took until you check the balance in a couple days. The second time, it hadn't registered, and there was nothing I could do about it. It was a $30 check from my mom that I didn't want to take anyway, so I didn't go through the hassle of doing anything about it. But I don't do the online photo deposit thing anymore.
	11:46am clarke: are you into Belgravia?
	11:46am Listener Baby: Every character in Saul, is better than the next. I could not be better.
	11:46am Frank In Queens: Don't know that one, clarke.
	11:47am clarke: a decent historical romp
	11:47am Frank In Queens: I've been watching Dispatches From Elsewhere as well, but I don't know how much longer that's running for.
	11:47am Frank In Queens: Which period?
	11:48am clarke: nothing's going to be as good as Saul -- i wonder if they are stretching out the tale for yet another season???? (w/o spoiling)
	11:48am StringOFperils: This Rami and the Reliables really nails the Arthur Alexander feel. Great stuff !!
	11:49am Michael Shelley: RAMI: audiopostcards.bandcamp.com
	11:49am clarke: Belgravia is about london, around 1840-ish
	11:49am Listener Baby: @Clarke. There will be one more after this one.
	11:49am Listener John from NJ: Hello all!
	11:49am Frank In Queens: Saul? Yes, there's one more season coming. Assuming they'll be able to actually shoot it.
	11:50am clarke: ahhhh - without spoiling
	11:50am Michael Shelley: Love the - two mics on the drums - sound
	11:50am Listener Baby: Two? One, maybe??
	11:51am Listener Baby: Nah. Two seems right. Had my headphones off.
	11:51am clarke: i was SO looking fwd to Fargo season 4 but they pushed it back - even though there were episodes in the can!! ???
	11:52am Jeremy: Love that Formulars song. Great show today.
	11:53am clarke: seems like they would get a lot more audience by showing what they got NOW
	11:53am Michael Shelley: Not sure you can say Butwell on the radio
	11:53am Michael Shelley: Thanks Jeremy!
	11:54am clarke: or "jack"
	11:56am gene sculatti: Michael, Erma total No. 1 hit! Never heard it before. Thanx for spinning.
	11:57am clarke: one of my favorite characters on Saul is the camera guy: "it's an extension of his mind"
	11:57am Dean: Maybe my favorite JR tune.
	11:57am StringOFperils: Love this old Beserkely record....great band an guitar on this. A fave.
	11:58am Lizardner Dave 2: I can't hear Jonathan Richman anymore without thinking of Jeff Tweedy's impersonation of him saying he wanted to play his set at Solid Sound without monitors because he was afraid of scaring the bugs.
	11:59am Listener Baby: @Clarke. Dead on. So easy to make shots like that pretentious. The shots are characters themselves.
	11:59am jmd: Robbie Fulks does an excellent imitation of JR as well.
	12:00pm Listener Baby: I saw JR open for Wilco. He sang at least half his songs in spanish.
	12:00pm Hughie Considine: My extremely tolerant mother-in-law only voiced irritation about one song on the CD mixes I made for my kids, which they used to listen to over and over: "Ice Cream Man."
	12:01pm clarke: hah - that reminds me of seeing joey spampinato at some sound check and claiming that the monitor in front of him "sounds like there's a peanut in there"
	12:01pm Squints In Plymouth: This Fireballs thing sounds very Raidersy. Would love to have heard a Mark Lindsay take on this in his more wild man days.
	12:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: After Adam died I was digging all around for that "Fountains of Wayne Hotline" song I've heard you play. And I'm digging and digging and I can't find it…perhaps because I thought it was a FoW song (I found it eventually.)
	12:01pm Michael Shelley: this comment board has made me laugh or smile more times in the past 1 hr then in the last few days combined - THANKS all!
	12:01pm paul: Did Tommy James record this?
	12:01pm Frank In Queens: Hey now!
	12:02pm Michael Shelley: PAUL - indeed
	12:02pm clarke: THAT is a classic greg!
	12:02pm paul: Thought so. Thanks!
	12:03pm Baja Joe: Thank you Michael for playing my version of the station ID. Loved that it came after a Jonathan Richman tune.
	12:04pm Mailman Tom: I recall buying the first Jonathan Richman album on cassette tape. I was so upset by it because it sounded like he was making fun of music. I smashed it using a hammer! I've since upgraded my opinion of his music. LOL
	12:05pm clarke: he's still making fun of music - but it is great
	12:05pm Dean: G-I-R-L F-R-E-N
	12:06pm clarke: High Tea is something different to some
	12:06pm clarke: probably Bo Diddley inclusive
	12:06pm Handy Haversack: For months, HP Sauce has been on the shopping list. And we finally went to the store that actually carries it on our last Quarantine Food Scurry -- and they only had the fruit flavor.
	12:07pm Michael Shelley: Me & Jonathan: www.michaelshelley.net...
	12:07pm cloonmore: Bo Diddley is all-time greatest #1 hitmaker. Michael, your early mention of buying bootlegs at Harvey Sound instantly transported me back 40 years ago and my favorite place to hang out in White Plains when i was 17. Lots of discs bought there. thanks for the great show.
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: @gene, that Erma Franklin track was included on the recent "Honeybeat - Groovy 60s Girl Pop" collection.
	12:09pm Fendibull: Thanks for the Rock and Roll and Blues Mike. Followed you on twitter before I realized there was a chat here.
	12:09pm clarke: sonny I or II??
	12:10pm spacecowboy: crap i missed the fireballs
	12:10pm clarke: ah it is I
	12:12pm StringOFperils: I spent the whole summer of 1972 behind the middle school until I could make a Marine Band sound like this.
	12:14pm Fendibull: brings back good 90's Powerpop here. Thank you and RIP Adam schlesinger
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: Brunch Totchos were a hit! Though now I am kicking myself for not having Bugles for an appetizer. Thanks, Greg!
	12:15pm jake6573: @michael Shelley, defrosted on countertop, salt, pepper, garlic powder, threw in oven @450 for 10 mins. Fish had no flavor, hit it with some Franks Hot Sauce. That helped.
	12:16pm clarke: Treasurer saves the day AGAIN!
	12:16pm Larry O: Definitely a number 1 song! Strange, but now that I’m single again, songs like this are relevant again
	12:18pm StringOFperils: Much neophyte love-for-show happening here.
	12:18pm Doug in JC: Listen to him showing off!
	12:19pm Fendibull: Thanks for the Carter Lewis, I got it from Jimmy Page's compilation album: This Guitar Kills. Great Album for Led Zeppelin fans who's into 60's music.
	12:19pm Dean: The falcon nest atop the Berkeley campanile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_ghtsndkf4 If you walk about 1/3 mile due NW from here, you'll arrive a coffee shop that was formerly Rather Ripped Records, a Beserkly Records hub. Cover of the first Greg Kihn shows him in front of the store window.
	12:21pm Doug in JC: There's a falcon nest across the street from WFMU but they don't seem to be using it this year
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: In the fantastic A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs podcast, the narrator consistently refers to Mike Stoller's surname as rhyming with "stah-ler" -- I always thought it rhymed with "bowler." Who's right?
	12:23pm Larry O: Beach Boys did a great version - “Student Demonstration Time”
	12:24pm clarke: i've always been of the bowler school
	12:24pm Martinibomb: Adding this Ray Sharpe track to my karaoke set list. Damn!
	12:25pm Cat: Mary Jane riff sounds a tad like Paperback Writer
	12:25pm spacecowboy: first time hearing this show - it is fantastic
	12:26pm sonnyspop: Ahhh! So soothing.
	12:26pm spacecowboy: ill go so far as to call it groovey
	12:26pm steveo: besides being a #1 hit, was this also a billboard #1?
	12:26pm sonnyspop: Day After Day, that is.
	12:26pm Fendibull: Yeah, the the first sight I thought it was paperback Writer.
	12:26pm spacecowboy: now i dont even mind staying inside--- listening by computer
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Doug in JC! I owe you an e-mail!
	12:27pm Tyler H: This song has always just screamed "McCartney"!
	12:27pm Jeezy: See, THIS is the version of "Day After Day" I recall being a hit when I was a little kid... but when I go on Spotify I hear a different singer?!
	12:27pm Ciggy: Badfinger is the 1st band I saw live! Lincoln H.S. Yonkers, NY
	12:27pm Jeezy: The whole band Badfinger screamed McCartney!
	12:28pm clarke: that might be Joey Molland's Badfinger (this is pete ham's voice here)
	12:28pm SeanG: THE DUKES!!!!!!!!
	12:29pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You are a careful shopper?!!? I can't believe it. It's not as if you have discussed the cost of goods on this show before.
	12:29pm Listener Baby: I turned my 16 year old to The Dukes. She dug them.
	12:29pm sonnyspop: A double punch of ahhhh with Vanishing Girl. Hand to heart.
	12:29pm Jeezy: XTC had the most amazing rhythm section from like 1980-1984. It's really amazing if you listen closely...
	12:29pm StringOFperils: Like the greatest Hollies record that the Hollies never made.
	12:30pm yerfriendpaul: The Dukes!!!
	12:30pm Jimmy Wipper: Burning Shed is giving away a free Andy Partridge demo from the "bubblegum record" that he never released. burningshed.com...
	12:31pm Ralphus: Don't understand why FMU doesn't play more XTC... or any for that matter
	12:31pm clarke: whippah!!!
	12:31pm Doug in JC: @Handy Hey! Take your time
	12:32pm Michael Shelley: 11 pages of search results for XTC: wfmu.org...
	12:32pm Jimmy Wipper: Hey Clarke!
	12:32pm Doug in JC: Get his ass Michael!
	12:33pm Jeezy: @Ralphus, it's an interesting question. I once joked with Gaylord that FMU prefers bands that SOUND LIKE bands like the Beatles and XTC over those actual bands, haha... But he had valid responses...
	12:33pm clarke: you must be talking to the news dept!!
	12:33pm Jeezy: Oh wow.... Michael knocked us out the box, @Ralphus!
	12:33pm Michael Shelley: NOT meant in that way - just informing!
	12:34pm Jimmy Wipper: Who told you that, Clarke? Your FRIENDS?!?
	12:34pm Suzie: Hi MS! Listening in SF...
	12:34pm clarke: BOOM!
	12:35pm clarke: you sound drunk!
	12:35pm Jeezy: Haha, thanks Michael!
	12:35pm Jimmy Wipper: But I WON!
	12:35pm Listener Baby: RE: XTC.. Ween is the band FMU neglects. IMNHO
	12:36pm Jeezy: Careful, Listener Baby.... Michael can bring that up!
	12:36pm Gaylord Fields: @Jeezy: I hope my response was to send you this (scroll to bottom of next page, and then to the following one): wfmu.org...
	12:36pm SeanG: just heard Ween this morning-- on double dip recess
	12:36pm plasticguitarman: Anybody hearing a hint of that song by The Spinners I’ll Be Around - in Vanishing Girl?
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: @Listener Baby: Clay Pigeon definitely plays some Ween. Roger and Amanda played one tune this morning. -- But there are lots of songs from Ween I'd love to hear!
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: SIX PAGES of ween: wfmu.org...
	12:38pm Listener Baby: @Jeezy. I dare him!!
	12:38pm Gaylord Fields: I think my actual response was that, as a freeform DJ on a freeform station, any potential playlist is chosen from literally every song ever recorded, rather than a few hundred, or at more generous stations, a few thousand.
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: DJ Pseu Braun is an XTC devotee, side projects and all!
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: No fair using history, Michael!
	12:39pm clarke: james - you missed the opening tune of the show
	12:39pm Listener Baby: To be fair, many Ween songs can not be played.
	12:39pm StringOFperils: a HOLY record. (BOws down.)
	12:40pm Dean: Apple 1841, "Day After Day," was released in Nov. '71. Through Dec., Billboard predicted it would climb the charts. On Dec. 18, '71, it reached 35 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart. By Christmas it had climbed to 31. On New Years Day '72 it was at 30, just behind the New Seekers' "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing." "Let It Be" was then at 15. By Jan. 15, it climbed to 19, just ahead of "Let It Be" at 20. Made it to 10 on Jan. 29. ("American Pie" was topping the EL chart at this point.)
	12:40pm Michael Shelley: G- You dont think of FMU as "the Beatles station" so that post is really interesting
	12:40pm Mailman Tom: The Harder They Come is the best Reggae album ever made.
	12:40pm Jeezy: Yes, @Gaylord! The sheer number of possible songs is a factor...
	12:40pm Michael Shelley: Hi Suzie - and Hi to John!
	12:40pm Jimmy Wipper: WFMU needs to play a double shot of Stinkfinger!
	12:41pm Gaylord Fields: Also, my personal Beatles tally takes into account that I've been doing a regular playlist for only 8 of my 28 years on WFMU.
	12:41pm clarke: BOOM!!
	12:41pm Listener Baby: Last I was at FMU, I think you all had two/three Ween CDs in the Library.
	12:41pm Bob a: Can hardly make out a word Scotty’s saying, but I like it.
	12:43pm Dean: By Feb. 26, '72, "Day After Day" had dropped to 27. Nilsson's "Without You" was no. 1.
	12:43pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Ralphus don't attack us!
	12:43pm Ralphus: OK Mr. Shelley, I stand corrected.
	12:43pm Gaylord Fields: @Michael: I recall once there being some quizzical reactions from some quarters at WFMU when it was revealed internally that the Beatles are among the most played artists at WFMU.
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: Gonna be a real shock when Rex goes all Beatles, Ween, and XTC on Fool's Paradise today. (I just checked with the dog -- it's Saturday!)
	12:43pm Joe B: greetings Michael and all!
	12:44pm Michael Shelley: Forward and fiaca Menacle and den gosaca stevecotler.com...
	12:44pm Dennis Diken: great show, Mikey!!
	12:44pm Hughie Considine: What they said about "Paint It Black" -- one of pop music's great mysteries...
	12:44pm SeanG: hey Joe B.!!
	12:44pm Hubig Pie: "Without you " written by members of Badfinger
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Joe!
	12:45pm Greg from ZONE 5: Gaylord! Dennis! Belock! More stars than there are in the heavens!
	12:45pm StringOFperils: thx loads for the Scotty lyrics schloarly thingie.
	12:45pm StringOFperils: misspells scholarly....ha ha
	12:46pm clarke: stars after stars after staaaaaahs
	12:46pm vertual: Really enjoying the show Michael. Not a clunker in the bunch. Thanks for another great Saturday start.
	12:46pm spacecowboy: good one
	12:47pm Jeezy: I wanna talk more about XTC's rhythm section. I have developed this argument only recently. As great as say, Black Sea is, they had even better albums to come, of course. However, by Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead their rhythms had been greatly simplified, versus the almost African grooves on some stuff from 80-84. Thoughts?!
	12:47pm ?: Yeah, nothin but number one hits today!
	12:47pm juan: Thanks for the link on the begin of Draw your Brakes lyrics. Always wondered about that. Also that is one of my very favorite songs for one of my favorite albums.
	12:48pm spacecowboy: this is good one - sounds like Kentucky rain a little bit
	12:48pm spacecowboy: good stuff
	12:48pm Gaylord Fields: @Greg: Count yourself among us!
	12:48pm Ronald: What the heck is going on? I never felt so bad and Michael is playing some of my favorite songs! Badfinger Big Star. Thanks! Not that I’m feeling any better...
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Right up there with the Everly's version.
	12:49pm Dean: Wow, the review in the March 8, '72, issue of Variety of Badfinger's NY debut at Carnegie Hall! "Badfinger, sounding at times like the old Beatles, were a smash at Carnegie Hall, Wednesday (1), their first N.Y. concert. The Ron Delsener promotion grossed $15,000, a sellout at a $6 top. Short sets by Michael Gately and Al Kooper also scored." Four paragraphs follow.
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: Ralphus: as a teen I remember calling Vin Scelsa at WNEW and telling him he didnt play enough Jonathan Richman - and he YELLED at me!
	12:50pm Jeezy: @Michael... Could Vin really yell? It always sounds like he was too busy choking on his own neck to raise his voice...
	12:50pm spacecowboy: just relaxing inside diggin the grooviness music - screw the virus
	12:50pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Gaylord: I consider myself more of a gas giant.
	12:50pm Michael Shelley: Jeezy - always surprised Colin Moulding want asked to play on more non XTC sessions - he's SO SO SO good & unique
	12:51pm Listener Baby: Baby. Gonna say that was almost 18 years ago. Remember, I could go. Flaat on my back.
	12:51pm Gaylord Fields: @Hughie Considine: Mystery solved — they were discussing if the title is correct with or without the comma.
	12:51pm SeanG: @jeezy their early stuff was spazztic and ska and reggae influenced, then they changed little by little and got more beach boys influenced...
	12:52pm DG: Not sure if Sonny Charles was quite correct. My Phil Spector Greatest Hits double-vinyl album lists Spector, Irwin Levine & Toni Wine (a woman) as the writers. (Of course, Phil could've just claimed writing credit, but in that case it's a man & woman---not sure of the background of Ms. Wine).
	12:53pm clarke: @gaylord: ha ha ha ha!!
	12:54pm Dennis Diken: I had the great pleasure of playing and hanging with Sonny Charles for a couple weeks in Florence, AL in ‘16. nice man, class act
	12:54pm Gaylord Fields: @DG: Wine and Levine are both Jewish, and Phil typically changed one chord and three words and took a co-songwriting credit.
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: @Gaylord ... yes -- I can rest easier now! (However, the answer is no comma. I mean, if Mick left a little caesura before "black," possibly, but that comma came from a Decca marketing department functionary, possibly named Nigel.
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Ahhhhh. What a great show today, Michael! Thanks so much -- and to your BOARD OPS Skeleton in JC!
	12:55pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: Thanks! Hope you're well, pal!
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks for the great show, Michael! Had things almost feeling like a Saturday of old. Be well everybody!
	12:55pm clarke: we're only making plans for.....
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: @Jeezy, XTC hired Dave Mattacks for Nonsuch ... different kind of player than Terry Chambers.
	12:56pm StringOFperils: Bongo incursion !
	12:57pm clarke: things are good NOW!!! we'll take it - thnx for reel-y good shew MS!!
	12:57pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Michael & Ruth! And one final item of note: every episode of MST3K is on YouTube for free.
	12:57pm listener 126464: Michael that was real nice thanks.
	12:57pm Jeezy: Ah, thanks all! Yes, Terry Chambers was a genius...
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: This was the place to be today. Thanks, Michael and all who listen!
	12:57pm sonnyspop: Great show, Michael.
	12:57pm KWilde: Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Mitchell! (@Greg)
	12:57pm James in ATL: Great show! Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm Daybreak and the Smokey Room: Ruth in the Booth!
	12:58pm Micheal: Thanks, Michael!! Wonderful show!
	12:58pm Richard: Fun show! Thanks, all.
	12:58pm Hubig Pie: Club MST3k is a happy place
