	11:59am Bob: Viewer alert. That weird Tubi channel just put up the Jay Bennett documentary that has been out there for awhile as a DVD. Never saw it actually play anywhere else but you can watch it now. It's actually quite good. Better than a lot of more high profile music docs.

Looked up BV's EP & see that it includes "Crying Laughing Loving Lying"...and I just heard a Rod Stewart collection (of all his Mercury albums) that included it (it was an outtake from the '70s). Didn't know Labi Siffre's name unti recently, when I found out (thru Better Call Saul) that one of his songs was sampled by that Slim Shady guy...the famous riff you hear on "My Name Is...".
	♥ 12:33pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:27 Part of my 1st higher ed job had me dealing with res hall students who were on academic probation.

	11:08am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:08 hello bob. ahhh, the Pig!!

	♥ 11:18am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:15 We thought about it. But decided not to chance parsing the rules wrongly. Increased enforcement at CH was definitely mentioned. U guess there's been rough stuff, which has become a thing on the Cape beaches but more on the mid-Cape. Never happened when we've been at Cahoon Hollow. I suspect the 'Combah hates any drinking not in the bar. Like they need more business these days.
	♥ 11:18am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, BABY, NYCMnerd, Clarke, Christina, everybody! I feel like Jerry Lewis in France anticipating this interview.

	11:47am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:42 the closest I came to seeing them was when the Morells put out that last record and did some touring. Probably twenty years ago. They were booked to play in Dearborn when the club went belly up. I talked to BLH and was trying to find them a club, purely for my own selfish desire to see them. It didn't happen and never would.

	11:56am clarke: ALL number ones!!
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:56 that was for herbie mann.
	♥ 11:57am listener phat in Lincoln: My new project is inspired by this show and The Zoo Bar. It's going to rock.
	11:57am rob: Michael I discovered Lee because Ocean Colour Scene said he was their favorite! Got a cd and was like “oh the workin in a coal mine guy!” and 25 years later here we are!
	11:57am clarke: VERy VeRY!

	11:59am Bob: Viewer alert. That weird Tubi channel just put up the Jay Bennett documentary that has been out there for awhile as a DVD. Never saw it actually play anywhere else but you can watch it now. It's actually quite good. Better than a lot of more high profile music docs. He was a complicated guy even for Wilco fans but I give it a thumbs up.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:59 he is what he is (not what they want him to be)
	♥ 12:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: Oh, and Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets gonna be in KC! I cannot freaking wait.

	12:02pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:01 no three hour drive is easy. any more.
	12:03pm Bob: I love this album so much but I just feel burned every time I buy a Yeproc piece of vinyl. It just isn't good. Lousy sound, often mixed up labels, typos. That one Nick/Hitchcock split single is almost unplayable. Nope.
	12:03pm clarke: that's too bad, bob!
	♥ 12:04pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Lonesome Reverie" by "Nick Lowe" Tiny bit of an introspective set today, Baby. Tiny bit. Enjoying!
	♥ 12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:02 For some reason, that drive to KC just whizzes by. Show's on my birthday, too. Someone should hook me up with backstage passes.
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:03 of course, it is the pressing plant, but still.
	♥ 12:05pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ clarke @12:02 Perfectly fine, thanks! It was just a really badly twinged muscle.

	♥ 12:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:24 i have this convo with students who want to study history, literature, art, ect, but whose parents are making them major in "something practical." it's heartbreaking...

	♥ 12:28pm listener phat in Lincoln: If I recall the 2nd or 3rd time I saw Dave Alvin it was with the Skeletons. But I may remember that very wrong.
	♥ 12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: Wow
	12:30pm PatrickMC: Pep Lounge, Folk City, dude's taking me back. Good interview
	♥ 12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: Could have used this advice from Ben last night.

	♥ 12:33pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:32 howdy jack!
	12:33pm DG: Well, this is funny. Looked up BV's EP & see that it includes "Crying Laughing Loving Lying"...and I just heard a Rod Stewart collection (of all his Mercury albums) that included it (it was an outtake from the '70s). Didn't know Labi Siffre's name unti recently, when I found out (thru Better Call Saul) that one of his songs was sampled by that Slim Shady guy...the famous riff you hear on "My Name Is...".
	♥ 12:33pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:27 Part of my 1st higher ed job had me dealing with res hall students who were on academic probation. I had students whose parents had told them "You have to major in X, and if you don't, I won't pay your tuition." Meanwhile the students were on probation because they were failing their classes in X and had no desire or aptitude for it.
	♥ 12:33pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:32 I've heard it on here! But I forget things.
	♥ 12:34pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Peter Horvath @12:26 Hey Peter!
	♥ 12:34pm Matt in Nebraska: Lou Whitney produced a couple albums for my father in the 80s. Traveling across Iowa on US34 and "The Road Song" hit the spot.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Ben Vaughn" all coolness, here.
	12:36pm Deer Tick: Wayne Fontana wasn't wrong but Wayne had many #1 hits. Didn't he, Mike?
	12:36pm dano59: Too Sensitive … right in the sweet spot of emotional pain, sadness & universal experience
	12:36pm Joe B: Glad to hear deer tick is spreading the good word! (Ben's signature song for me is Lookin' For a 7-11.)
	♥ 12:36pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Too Sensitive For This World (live for WFMU)" by ... This song is sheer perfection.
	♥ 12:37pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:33 i teach a lot of those students in the intro to historical methods class. they wanted to study history, were forced into something else, failed, and then "settled" on history. most of them are quite happy to now be studying something they're interested in, AND learning about the wide range of careers open to folks with the skillset that historical studies (and other humanities fields) impart.
	12:37pm dano59: So, are there some BV northeast dates? I love the guy
	♥ 12:37pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Joe B @12:36 And for me it's Jerry Lewis in France. Hey Joe!
	12:37pm Deer Tick: ↳ love2laf @12:36 Definitely
	♥ 12:38pm prof.fuzz: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:37 *for example, you can have advanced degrees in history and literature and be a songwriter/guitar-owner and in a rock band. inspiring! LOL
	12:39pm Joe B: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:37 see Jack, to me that is YOUR signature song!
	12:39pm dano59: @L.phat: I met Lou W when he played in Dave Alvin’s band … there is that connection
	12:39pm Another DS: Believe it or not Tesco Vee was a big Brinsley Schwarz fan back in the 70s and still is.
	♥ 12:39pm GeoSinPhilly: In April 1978, while playing with a shakey, weird version of Philadelphia's Stickmen, I opened for the Symptoms at Artemis, a room that oicked up the slack while the Hot Club was being reconfigured. Despite our ill-formed amateurishness and their undeniable professionalism, Lou and the boys (and girl) were charming and encouraging.
	♥ 12:39pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ dano59 @12:39 I did remember that right!
	♥ 12:43pm prof.fuzz: "american rock and roll music as if played by aliens" is a great description for the Cubist Blues record.
	♥ 12:44pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:38 One of these days I'm going to write a book called "Your Major Does Not Dictate Your Life". Mick Jagger attended the London School of Economics. David Duchovny holds a master's degree in comparative literature from Yale. Lisa "Friends" Kudrow has a biology degree from Vassar.

	♥ 12:49pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Joe B @12:47 Thanks, Joe! We made a psychic connection when we discovered we were born on the same damn day! Absolute sweetheart, and such an important ingredient of the BVC!
	♥ 12:49pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Joe B @12:39 When Todd told Ben that song now belonged to me, Ben replied, "I still have the publishing."
