	♥ 11:15am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:14 FA Cup? I'm just relieved Everton escaped relegation last Sunday.
	11:15am Peter Horvath: Yo Michael and the #1’ers. Happy Saturday
	♥ 11:16am myron feld: ↳ Song: "The Head Man" by "Obrey Wilson" Ted Taylor, president emeritus of male singers who sound like female singers.
	11:16am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:15 SO IS EVERTON!
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: Michael: Wish you'd made the Bug Club show at Union Pool. It was seriously one of the best shows I'd seen in a while -- a real standout for the year already. They were a lot LOUDER live than the tracks I'd heard so far, a real power trio. I was completely blown away. An absolute gem of a show. I hope they come back soon because that was a fantastic experience. Thanks for introducing me to the band! And great to see the People's Champ at the show!
	♥ 11:16am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Who Does Lisa Like?" by "Rachel Sweet" Sorry to have missed this beauty-- had a formative crush (on the song) back in the day. Seriously, it doesn't sound like any other song I can think of.
	♥ 11:16am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:14 It'd be awesome ot have a live video stream of WFMU just to watch the antics of Turntable One.
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:09 Missed the game this week to see the Bug Club!
	11:17am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:16 i see you are feeling better!!
	♥ 11:17am Hughie Considine: The road is long, baby now...Clarke
	♥ 11:17am Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:16 That's a legit better offer.
	11:17am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Comin' Home" by "Mel Torme" Groovy tune, but is this the highest and best use of the Velvet Fog?
	11:17am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:17 good day sir!!
	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:17 Still coughing, some congestion, but fuck it, Dude. I'm glad I rallied for Sisters of Mercy last night as well. Had never seen them, and that was a great show (very different from Bug Club).
	♥ 11:18am Squints: Wanna say Mosquitos were from Bergen County. But I could be wrong.
	♥ 11:18am Hughie Considine: ↳ Moammar @11:17 Surely not, but I think that's the fun of it. Much better than Sinatra's "Bim Bam Baby"
	♥ 11:18am Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:16 How were they?
	♥ 11:18am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:18 Irving might have been from Long Island. 8^)
	11:18am clarke: Mosquitos have at least one single
	11:19am tonyb: Leeds not so fortunate. : ( Jon Langford mourns. My team is Queens Park. Once relegated, it’s tough to move back up
	♥ 11:19am Ken From Hyde Park: Is this The Mosquitos that appeared on Gilligan's Island?
	♥ 11:20am Squints: ↳ Song: "I Know A Secret" by "Mosquitos, The" That first (only) EP was great, great stuff. Only time I saw Vance Brescia, I didn't know it. I hadn't realized he was the music director and guitar player for Peter Noone on the road.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ tonyb @11:19 leeds came as little surprise, tho - they had a poor season
	♥ 11:20am Squints: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:19 Sadly, no, Ken. That would be too perfect.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:20 yes an EP
	11:20am Bob: Good morning, everyone! Coming in late but enthusiastic
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Song: "Days Of The Broken Arrows (alt version)" by "Idle... done on four tracks!!
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:18 Here's what I posted earlier: Michael: Wish you'd made the Bug Club show at Union Pool. It was seriously one of the best shows I'd seen in a while -- a real standout for the year already. They were a lot LOUDER live than the tracks I'd heard so far, a real power trio. I was completely blown away. An absolute gem of a show. I hope they come back soon because that was a fantastic experience. Thanks for introducing me to the band! And great to see the People's Champ at the show!
	♥ 11:21am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Days Of The Broken Arrows (alt version)" by "Idle... Turn it up!
	♥ 11:21am Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Days Of The Broken Arrows (alt version)" by "Idle... Only shades of ELO?
	♥ 11:22am Squints: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:19 Those Skeeters on GI were a 1960s outfit called The Wellingtons.
	♥ 11:22am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Days Of The Broken Arrows (alt version)" by "Idle... This is a reminder that I need to pull out my Idle Race records.
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:21 i DID!!
	♥ 11:23am Frank In Queens: mira! mira! mira! mira!
	♥ 11:23am McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:21 I second Handy's review. Great, great live band.
	11:23am Raina: Recovering from Covid and bopping out to the Mosquitos! Thanks Mike!
	11:24am dk50b: ↳ Song: "Days Of The Broken Arrows (alt version)" by "Idle... Evolutionary proof the missing link exists..between The Move and ELO
	♥ 11:24am Michael Shelley: ↳ Raina @11:23 Raina A.?
	♥ 11:25am Squints: ↳ Song: "They Were Doin The Mambo" by "Tex Williams" Ohhhhhh. Carlos is teachin' ya how ta maaaaaambo. That explains everything.
	11:25am RONNIE: Mambo! YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
	11:25am Bob: Has anyone seen the Harrison/Belew Remain in Light tour? Got some freebies for tomorrow night in the D. Cool setlists
	11:26am clarke: you know summer has arrived when you turn on the "cold" faucet and it is warm as bathwater.
	11:26am paul: ↳ Song: "They Were Doin The Mambo" by "Tex Williams" Sounds like TN Ernie Ford
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:25 frienda mine saw it in DC - said it was fantastic!!
	♥ 11:26am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Days Of The Broken Arrows (alt version)" by "Idle... Gerald Chevin, who engineered this and countless other UK recordings (hits and otherwise), just passed away. He was a member of a record club I'm in, and he always brought great stories.
	11:26am Raina: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:24 Yes, who else?!
	11:26am Mister Dobalina: I, too..used to be a dancehall dandy.
	♥ 11:26am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:25 I wish
	11:27am clarke: feel better!! you are gonna cough for a while, probably.
	11:27am Moammar: First few bars of "Black Pearl" are just sublime, aren't they?
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ McGroovey @11:23 And thanks for the ride home! It averaged out with coming home from Kings Theatre last night -- ten-minute wait for the Q and fifteen for the G.
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:27 Yeah. Sigh.
	11:29am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:26 Hiya, Clarke. It would have to be I guess. Big band. I need to get your personal contact at some point I think. Couldn’t find you on messenger
	♥ 11:29am Squints: ↳ Moammar @11:27 mmm hmmm
	♥ 11:29am Michael Shelley: ↳ Raina @11:26 Talked to Mark S yesterday
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:29 email mista shelley
	11:30am clarke: oh sorry, no last names: Michael S
	11:32am clarke: enjoy all that "television" whilst u can... there's a writer's strike and (inside news) the actor's are about to go out, too.
	♥ 11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: When do people find time to watch TV? I seem to have forgotten how.
	♥ 11:32am Listener Baby: Ted Lasso is in mid air, with a leather jacket on.
	11:32am Rex P: Right on LASSO, wrong on BARRY, love your show ! ❤️🙏
	11:33am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:32 that's not a bad thang. i use a series to wind down late at night.
	11:33am Bob: Totally disagree about Barry. The final season was great. Last episode perfect. Succession was a terrible show at every step.
	11:33am Raina: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:29 Ahh, your Hawaii connection. Nice that you are still in touch. I hope all is well.
	11:33am clarke: i gave up on Barry in season 3
	♥ 11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:33 I'd probably enjoy all these shows people rave about. But I can't figure out how to make time. Lol.
	♥ 11:34am Michael Shelley: ↳ Rex P @11:32 my big problem w/ Ted is lack of character growth and focus on sub plots not related to Ted and the overall shmaltzyness
	11:34am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:34 i guess you sleep better than i
	11:35am Peter Horvath: Thanks for the plug and the spin, Michael
	11:35am Scott from Denver: ↳ clarke @11:32 My old college roommate is on the picket line. He worked on Mike and Molly.
	♥ 11:35am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:34 I do not.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:35 there ya go!
	11:35am dday: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:18 interesting. db on the Bad Animals board this morning, seemed disappointed with the show. Didn't say why. I'd check them out if they came near
	♥ 11:35am listener phat in Lincoln: I do go to a lot of shows lately. Saw Yob on Wednesday and they were mind-blowing.
	11:36am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:35 nice, mate!
	♥ 11:37am listener phat in Lincoln: Nick Lowe and Elvis in a couple weeks, and I'm kind of freaking out about finally seeing Nick Lowe.
	♥ 11:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:34 Well, it is just a sitcom that grew out of an advertising gimmick. Maybe we shouldn't have been hoping for too much from it?
	11:37am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Hound Dog" by "Seeburg Spotlight Band, The" Some horn players have been listening to a lot of James Brown!
	11:38am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:37 Looking forward to it too. Elvis should be opening for Nick is my only quarrel. I’m not kidding.
	♥ 11:39am nycmusicnerd: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:37 You'll love him, especially with Los Straitjackets behind him!
	♥ 11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ Bob @11:38 You are in for a treat in that case
	♥ 11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:38 I agree, and I dig Elvis quite a bit. Green Shirt still winds me up.
	♥ 11:40am Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:37 I'm going to the Philly show
	♥ 11:40am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Bob @11:38 I heard a lot of comments like that during last summer's tour. EC just doesn't seem to care anymore. But NL/LS have that energy, that chemistry. And Michael noted last year that they seem to be gelling a lot more now. Not that they never clicked, but now they're even better.
	11:40am Scott from Denver: That Elvis/Nick tour is completely bypassing Denver. I'm bummed.
	♥ 11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:39 I absolutely adore Los Straitjackets. They put on one of the best shows I've ever seen
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:40 wear a helmet!
	♥ 11:41am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott from Denver @11:40 Omaha's not a huge distance!
	♥ 11:41am Hughie Considine: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:40 Someone I know ands respect recently said that a recent Elvis concert was the worst she'd ever been too, and she's not young. Nothing worse than a performer marking time.
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Comin' Home" by "Mel Torme" ~Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz~ Mel here Lennon's inspiration for 'She'sSoHeavy' reportedly.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:41 i heavily considered heading to omaha, in a few weeks. erred on the side of $.
	♥ 11:42am nycmusicnerd: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:41 If you like LS, have you checked out the Hi-Risers? It's Greg Townson's band out of Rochester.
	♥ 11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
	♥ 11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:42 CWS?
	♥ 11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:41 Meanwhile, I remember how exciting it was to head into NYC down to the pier to see Elvis and the Attractions on a hot summer evening.
	♥ 11:43am happymaan: ↳ Song: "Love You Back To Georgia" by "Layng Martine, Jr." Hey ya Michael, checking in from Georgia
	♥ 11:43am pgalub: Son's name is Tucker Martine. I guess he's produced some bigger acts, but he actually has also worked with folks like Steve Wynn, Laura Viers, and Bill Frisell. Interesting sensibilities actually.
	11:43am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:42 yes, it looks like lsu will make it there, but i don't think they have the pitching to win it.
	♥ 11:43am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:41 Not surprised. Went to a show in Boston last summer w/some friends. They were familiar w/EC, but had never heard of NL or LS. Afterwards they said they enjoyed NL/LS better than EC.
	♥ 11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:42 I think I've heard them on The Michael Shelley show! I think.
	11:43am Bob: Nick/LS last summer was easily the best Nick show I ever saw in 40 years of seeing him lots
	♥ 11:44am nycmusicnerd: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:43 Probably. Joe Belock plays them occasionally as well.
	♥ 11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:43 Nebraska collapsed, from what I gather.
	11:44am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:43 hey, peter - how was your show this week?
	11:45am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:44 they did not make the dance, no.
	♥ 11:45am pgalub: Hey Clarke. Actually is next Tuesday. I predict it will be... good! ;)
	11:45am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:44 oddly, tulane got chosen instead.
	♥ 11:46am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Candida" by "Owen Gray" So great!,
	11:46am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:45 i can foresee that, as well!!
	♥ 11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:45 Once again, they were supposed to be great, but were not.
	♥ 11:46am pgalub: Thks clarke!
	11:46am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:46 and so it goes (lowe)
	11:47am dday: I saw Costello a few years ago when he & Blondie toured. Great show from both. I don't think I'd go to see either these days. I saw Nick Lowe solo in Montclair,NJ a few years back as well. Excellent show. With Los Straitjackets a definite show to see.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ dday @11:47 and some say that that blondie tour sucked in some places.
	11:48am paul: That link took me to the wrong place.
	11:48am GeorgeSimian: Great show, as always!
	11:48am Listener Bop Monroe: greetings from cloudy Tannersville DJMS and all the other Listeners from this Listener. i loved and collected wall paper catalogs from the 60s.
	♥ 11:49am Michael Shelley: ↳ paul @11:48 try again
	11:49am paul: Now it's fixed!
	♥ 11:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ happymaan @11:43 happymaan! How you guys doing?
	♥ 11:49am Michael Shelley: ↳ GeorgeSimian @11:48 THANK YOU GEORGE
	11:49am clarke: i'm guessing happy?
	♥ 11:50am nycmusicnerd: ↳ dday @11:47 I WANTED to see that lineup!! But they didn't come near me.
	♥ 11:50am listener phat in Lincoln: Oh crap. I just realized I have a second ticket to that Nick Lowe show. I need to find a date
	11:50am dday: ↳ clarke @11:47 on any given night..... Chris Stein was seated throughout, health issues I'd guess. Age creeping up on all of us I saw it outdoors at Bethel Woods (the original Woodstock site, 20 mins. from my home). Lawn seats, pretty cheap, nice night out. Pic of Blondie at left in a moment
	♥ 11:50am happymaan: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 Well, I fell off a bike a few days ago and busted up my face...nothing broken but the good news is as of yesterday my face was able to unlock my phone again. How are you guys doing?
	♥ 11:50am nycmusicnerd: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:50 Where are you?
	11:50am clarke: i'm not very good with dates.
	♥ 11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ happymaan @11:50 Ouch.
	♥ 11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:50 Nebraska. Show is in Omaha.
	11:51am clarke: not so happy.
	♥ 11:51am happymaan: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 As of this week I am working again, but due to the strike we'll see how long that lasts. Courtney and I will be in NJ the weekend of the cruise, we got our tickets.
	♥ 11:52am Michael Shelley: Tonight: GUMBO & these cooking-books.blogspot.com...
	♥ 11:52am listener phat in Lincoln: images.app.goo.gl...
	♥ 11:52am nycmusicnerd: ↳ dday @11:50 It doesn't bother me when people sit, as long as they perform well. Saw Tom Jones last week. He sat for a few songs. The man's in his 80s, as long as he can sing like Tom Jones, he can sit as long as he wants.
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:52 add seafood very close to the end!!
	11:52am ShelbyG: Hello from UK. A bit buzzed in my garden. Loving so far!
	♥ 11:53am happymaan: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:52 I made Courtney some kick ass turkey necks the other day, a repeat has been demanded.
	♥ 11:53am dday: ↳ clarke @11:47 Photo up
	♥ 11:54am Hughie Considine: Black Muffins would be a good band name.
	♥ 11:54am dday: ↳ clarke @11:50 I prefer plums :)
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♊︎Gemini, Year of Water 🐎Horse Curtis Lee Mayfield 3 June 1942 – 26 December 1999
	11:55am pottybear: Will you serve Folgers Crystals in place of your regular coffee?
	11:55am clarke: when making your roux - stir constantly!!! you can smell when it is about to burn - remove from heat.
	♥ 11:55am Hubig Pie: Go for the dark red brick roux. Beyond that you run the risk of bitter nonsense,
	♥ 11:55am dday: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:52 The sitting didn't bug me at all, it concerned me as to why. He played fine as did the rest of the band.
	♥ 11:55am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:55 Otherwise you'll rue the day you didn't listen to ol' Clarke.
	♥ 11:55am Michael Shelley: ↳ pottybear @11:55 good question! (I may just fill it to the rim, with Brim)
	11:56am The Kitchenwitch: It’s all about the roux
	♥ 11:56am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:47 I'm with the "some" on that one. But Clem Burke was still great.
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @11:55 i like a dark brown (a la Franky & Johnnie's)
	♥ 11:56am Michael Shelley: ↳ Hubig Pie @11:55 correct, but if you chicken out too early, it doesn't taste right - it's tricky!
	♥ 11:57am Mailman Tom: My father was a captain in the German Army during WW2 but he never recorded a pop song!
	♥ 11:57am Hughie Considine: Who's songs written in English sound best in German? Peter Gabriel III is pretty impressive ein Deutsches.
	♥ 11:57am Montmaster J: When we ate at Chez Paul ..a long time ago...they placed gold star stickers on your face if you finished your plate (we did)
	♥ 11:57am listener phat in Lincoln: Oh shit. I also am reminded I have no coffee. (I may have some Café du Monde, though).
	♥ 11:57am Hubig Pie: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:56 Trial and error
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:56 truth! use your nose - when it smells "nutty" take it away from the heat.
	♥ 11:58am Michael Shelley: ↳ myron feld @11:56 always weird when they make drummers play in a plexiglass box
	♥ 11:58am listener phat in Lincoln: Real flute
	11:58am dk50b: Linoleum was a favorite funny sounding word for The Muppets, example L..youtu.be...
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:58 HARD agree!
	♥ 11:58am dday: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:52 mmm. Looks good. When I need gumbo etc. recipes I check with my love's Mom. Houma,LA cajun woman. She know the how'bout to do dat ting :)
	♥ 11:59am myron feld: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:58 It didn't deter him!
	♥ 11:59am xtrakrispy: Black Muffins should probably contain Steens Cane Syrup instead of molasses to be truly New Orleans.
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'm A Loser" by "Ernie Hoppe" A Lennon song of course (not that you said it wasn't).
	12:00pm clarke: City takes the Cup!! (not that i am a fan - it is like the superbowl, tho).
	12:00pm davefromtoronto: i think this is a "john" song
	♥ 12:00pm dday: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:58 Clem's a banger..he played great when we saw him
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ dday @12:00 HUGE clem fan! i was sad to hear those neg reviews, when they happened. i'm sure it had nothing to do w/burke
	12:01pm Hopscotchprince: Are these songs that inspired the British invasion?
	♥ 12:01pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "I'm A Loser" by "Ernie Hoppe" U said it @davefromtoronto
	12:01pm Bob: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:58 Is it for sound or because drummers are unfit for society?
	♥ 12:02pm dday: ↳ clarke @12:01 It's why I pay little attention to "reviews" Any band can have an off night and so it goes.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:01 probably both.
	12:02pm davefromtoronto: RevRab beat me to it!
	12:02pm tonyb: City’s got one more hill on the 10th. It’s their year.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ dday @12:02 apparently the detroit show was non bueno.

	♥ 12:09pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:07 Not even really personal. Just the crosstown guys. Being an Everton guy makes me feel like a Jets or Mets fan. I also don't like that it distracts Fenway Sports Group.

	♥ 12:13pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:10 Mad respect for the greatness that was the Orioles. Nice to see they're turning upward. Because it sure ain't going to be our year. I only with Mike Yastrzemski Jr had been able to make it with them before he caught on with the Giants.

	♥ 12:20pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:17 80s were great. You could still decide impromptu that you wanted a Fenway Frank. Except for the arithmetic, it might be getting that way again now that management has been squandering twenty years of built good will. Yeah, '83 Sox were, um, not good.

	♥ 12:22pm egould: ↳ Squints @12:21 Kobe Bryant wore #8.
	12:22pm clarke: orioles should retire #8 (but the ownership hates the ripkens!!)
	♥ 12:22pm drr: ↳ Hopscotchprince @12:15 Also the novelty is already wearing off. We (meaning I) are already getting bored with even very good CGI as we learn how easy it is to make, and that is the result of considerable human inventiveness and skill.
	♥ 12:22pm Squints: It was a charming conceit in St Elsewhere that the Howie Mandel character wore a Sox cap and, as often as not, a replica jersey.
	♥ 12:23pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:22 Don't harsh my mellow. 8^) Respect Kobe. But hate the Lakers like I hate the Habs.

	12:27pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:26 not very auspicious, but he was a great manager.
	♥ 12:27pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ egould @12:24 Ha ha! I never knew this! That’s amazing
	♥ 12:28pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:24 I can see how the old man might have not wanted to take another spot in the organization in that particular moment. But was one offered? Because he'd been kind of a lifer, hadn't he? Wasn't that the previous ownership?
	12:28pm wild neil peace all: when I was kid on the news they predicted the Bay City Rollers would bigger than the Beatles. what happened??

	♥ 12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Not Cool" by "dBs, The" This sounds wonderful and remastered. Different from my LP version for sure.
	♥ 12:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:30 Ownership should make all of us crazy, no matter what team we root for.
	♥ 12:31pm pgalub: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:30 I agree!
