Listener comments!
	♥ 10:03pm Mike Lupica: Hell-o.
	♥ 10:03pm Jeff Moore: When the gut gets weird, the biotics turn pro!
	♥ 10:04pm Mike Lupica: Behold: the new slogan for this show!
	♥ 10:05pm Jeff Moore: (finally catching you at your special new regular designated time— hi Mike!)
	♥ 10:06pm Mike Lupica: Thanks for stopping by, pal! I shall aim to disappoint in all of the old fashioned ways of yore.
	♥ 10:08pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:06 I have every possible faith in you!
	♥ 10:09pm Mike Lupica: "Imagine it's 1980: The Rolling Stones fire Mick Jagger, hire brash upstart Mark E. Smith as their new singer and record one last album. This one."
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm coelacanth∅: good evening Mike and others
	♥ 10:12pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:11 Good evening, and welcome! Have some pancakes?
	10:13pm Dean: Worse than AI by a million light years, automatic pancake flippers!
	♥ 10:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Dean @10:13 Dean, I have bad news for you about the syrup and butter "guns".
	🥁 ♥ 10:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:12 don't mind if i do! i'll have those 9. wait, these 9... no wait i want these 9. . .
	10:16pm Dean: Thank god nobody has figured out how robotically to sprinkle confectioner's sugar on them!
	10:25pm Alex from Media: Hi all. A Freeform Pathogen fan joins the fray.
	♥ 10:25pm Mike Lupica: Alex! Welcome! If I had doorprizes for that remark, I would gladly hand you one.
	10:26pm Alex from Media: No butterguns. Doctors orders.
	10:33pm Dean: Hollywood Palladium: saw the odd punk fashion show in '78 or '79, The Cramps, and Jesus & Mary Chain there long ago. J&MC were not loud enough.
	10:35pm Dean: No jack-offs at the record store where I worked in the late '70s, but one guy was dealing cocaine from the back room. Suddenly, he disappeared.
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: who in hell are these douchebags working in a record store that'd diss raw power? and what record store?
	10:37pm Dean: Sweaty palm record boys? Interesting. That's how I feel about Yo La Tengo.
	10:38pm geek’d gherkin: OMG … Yo! to those 80s/90s localized public access video shows that literally played more interesting and alternative videos than MTV (🙄Lord help Us).
	10:40pm Alex from Media: Ya Flippin pancake title has the aura of that bad Repo Man censor job.
	♥ 10:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Dean @10:35 Can't imagine why!
	♥ 10:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:37 This was New Jersey in the 80s. It was an uneasy time.
	10:45pm Dean: No need to delve into it, but I find YLT a very talented group who release records I would never want to choose to hear. Yet they are clearly adored in certain circles.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm coelacanth∅: record stores i shopped in nj in the 80s were in cranford, westfield, elizabeth; a place along rt 1... edison? occasionally; and crazy eddies in union. i shopped in nyc mostly. no shortage of uppity assholes in most of those stores!
	10:47pm Dean: Oh, wait. You were ref'g my comment about the suddenly missing cocaine dealer. Yeah, me, neither.
	10:48pm Dean: Uppity Assholes would be a marvelous name for a record store. I'd shop there.
	10:49pm Dean: This Chaino is gorgeous. Thanks.
	♥ 10:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Dean @10:49 Yes! He's great -- smokin' new re-issue.
	🥁 ♥ 10:55pm coelacanth∅: off t'werk. late already. Thanks Mike! 'night
	♥ 10:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:55 Thanks for stopping by!
	10:58pm Alex from Media: Enjoying the Kraum.
	♥ 10:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:58 Finally, something good from Geneva.
	11:02pm Dean: The only time I've heard Kim Gordon live was at Victo, when her performance embarrassed the regulars. It was, in a word, dreadful. I enjoyed it, because I'd not before experienced the visceral horror of fans who couldn't believe what they were hearing. Not being a fan of Sonic Youth, I wasn't all that surprised.
	♥ 11:04pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Dean @11:02 As someone who has never seen Sonic Youth live (yet has attended three Sonic Youth gigs over the years), I think I get where you're coming from. But I dig this new Kim song lots.
	11:15pm Alex from Media: Wasnt Kleenex from Geneva?
	♥ 11:22pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:15 Interwebs says Zurich, but point taken nonetheless.
	♥ 11:23pm Mike Lupica: Would also just like to point out how well that Barbara Stanwyck gif next to the Chaino song goes with EVERYTHING we're playing tonight.
	11:24pm Alex from Media: Serves me right for not checking. The Neutrals only narrowed it to Switzerland.
	11:25pm Erik(VT): I believe Kleenex / Liliput hail from Zurich Suisse ! Yet Austria 🇦🇹 produced a few worthy oddies: Die Vogel Europas , Helmut Neugebauer , Lop Nor. (among others !). Didn’t that wild 12 piece kollecktiv - (“something…Marcel Duchamp”) that played in the AM Back in October 2023, hail from Geneva.
	11:26pm Alex from Media: Vielen Dank Erik!
	♥ 11:27pm Mike Lupica: Erik FTW!
	11:32pm arlo: this set has been suiting my moment quite nicely. thanks, Mike!
	♥ 11:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ arlo @11:32 Awesome! Glad to hear it!
	11:39pm Alex from Media: The Jackie Deshannon gif also seems to be working with the Haatali.
	♥ 11:39pm Mike Lupica: JUmping the gun by 20 minutes for this week's RIP tribute. (Dexter Romweber of Flat Duo Jets.)
	♥ 11:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:39 (The recent Wayne Kramer and Damo Suzuki tribs happened at midnight.)
	🥁 ♥ 11:46pm Ike: Aw, fuck no! lol
	11:46pm Alex from Media: Flipping Eagles!
	♥ 11:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @11:46 Curse of the Frampton, eh Ike?
	11:48pm Erik(VT): Crazy Suisse R.I.O. adjacent groups & splinter-offs are semi prolific: Ask DJs Tony C & Arb & Ken & etc… Debile Menthol, Nimal, L’Ensemble Raye, Gilles Rieder & Victor de Bros (Dizze & Fizze), Peeni Waali Orch (?), Grauzone (Eicher Bros), sunrise studios Suisse with producer Etienne Conod, yadda blah yadda …🤭🤓😉
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm Ike: Framptuary is this month, or it would be if it were a real thing, which it's not. It's just an illusory Irwin meme.
	11:52pm Alex from Media: TX for the Dexter Romweber obit link. Unknown to me, now I can discover.
	11:55pm Erik(VT): Oh No/Yea!(Bipolar): I sold my copy of ‘the long run’ (among way too many other better albums) back around 1984? - (regrets I’ve had a few!). Now I really have a hankering to hear👂Jerry Rafferty “straight down the line” or other stuff from that album! (Steelers Wheel acceptable) 😝.
	♥ 11:57pm Mike Lupica: BIG Gerry Rafferty fan right here, Erik! But we'll have to wait for Raffertember to roll around in a few months in order to do it right.
	♥ 11:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:52 You won't be disappointed, Alex.
	12:04am Alex from Media: I ran into some Gerry Rafferty programming recently, was it earlier today? His early Humblebums stuff sounds an awful lot like McCartney ballads.
	♥ 12:05am Mike Lupica: Sure could go for one of them probiotic gummies right about now.
	12:06am Erik(VT): Back in the day - couldn’t believe I had missed out on how great the 1st 3 albums of James Gang were (Joe Walsh) until hearing on RM’d CDs 💿. Would you/anyone know if Walsh’s 3 BARNSTORM albums are worthy of our precious ear time?!
	♥ 12:06am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:04 Funny you say that -- I thought (like, for decades) that "Stuck in the Middle with You" was a Paul McCartney solo song.
	♥ 12:08am Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik(VT) @12:06 Glad we have a 15 minute stoner rock song on to have this convo. Short answer: YES! Lots of great stuff on those solo JW albums.
	♥ 12:14am Mike Lupica: ALERT: The Barbara Stanwyck gif is absolutely CRUSHIN' it to this Richard Dawson song right now.
	12:15am Erik(VT): Ok ✅ thanks for your 2 cents🫡ha. So i also read that Walsh had a prior band to James Gang -(The Measels?!) perhaps no recordings??? - so Rafferty was in a band prior to Steelers Wheel? - Geesh. The things we learn from fellow geek’d listeners.
	♥ 12:15am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:14 Or at least, to the part that sounds like old Judas Priest.
	12:17am Alex from Media: 4 Mike So it is. 4 Erik - I will be giving Eisbaer a listen after the show due to your mention of Grauzone.
	12:27am Erik(VT): @alex: re Grauzone: personally, imo (music snob that I am🧐😉) try the tracks from their 1st album - i think almost everything from the album is more interesting to listen to than their semi hit : 🧊 🐻‍❄️.
	12:31am Alex from Media: @ Erik Thanks, will do. My homework is piling up today.
	12:37am Erik(VT): - going back awhile: which RS albums/era would be considered the “weaker years”? - certainly after Tattoo You (1981)😛. I’m kinda partial to that Steve Lillywhite overproduction sheen on Dirty Work (1986) and I’ve been guided toward the virtually neglected “A Bigger Bang” (2005) - I seriously don’t recall any hype over that one? You?
	♥ 12:39am Mike Lupica: Sorry Erik. Traveling north of "Tattoo You" and "Emotional Rescue" is a job for folks made of sturdier stuff than I am.
	12:43am Erik(VT): I’m very proud to be a fan-geek of Dylan’s “under the red sky” (studio album #27?) - produced by the clever Was (not Was) Bros !!! Yes indeedy.👏🙌🙇
	12:50am Erik(VT): …& Lastly; I will leave y’all with thank Uze / well wishes & the adamant geek’d recommendation to listen to as much of the career of Welshman ‘Andy Fairweather Low’. Impossibly under played, heard or appreciated in a semi-popular (non) sense. Bye 👋
	🥁 ♥ 12:53am Ike: This is cool.
	12:54am Alex from Media: Thanks Mike for the great show. On air mention counts as door prize even if I was wrong. And thanks and all the chat folks for sharing info.
	♥ 12:55am Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @12:53 For sure!
	♥ 12:55am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:54 Cheers, Alex.
	12:57am Erik(VT): Way to close Strong 💪!
	3:10am VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:39 Should it have read; Travlin’ South?! … isn’t Hell southbound?

	♥ 12:39am Mike Lupica: Sorry Erik. Traveling north of "Tattoo You" and "Emotional Rescue" is a job for folks made of sturdier stuff than I am.
	12:43am Erik(VT): I’m very proud to be a fan-geek of Dylan’s “under the red sky” (studio album #27?) - produced by the clever Was (not Was) Bros !!! Yes indeedy.👏🙌🙇
	12:50am Erik(VT): …& Lastly; I will leave y’all with thank Uze / well wishes & the adamant geek’d recommendation to listen to as much of the career of Welshman ‘Andy Fairweather Low’. Impossibly under played, heard or appreciated in a semi-popular (non) sense. Bye 👋
	🥁 ♥ 12:53am Ike: This is cool.
	12:54am Alex from Media: Thanks Mike for the great show. On air mention counts as door prize even if I was wrong. And thanks and all the chat folks for sharing info.
	♥ 12:55am Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @12:53 For sure!
	♥ 12:55am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:54 Cheers, Alex.
	12:57am Erik(VT): Way to close Strong 💪!
	3:10am VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:39 Should it have read; Travlin’ South?! … isn’t Hell southbound?
