	11:03am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Now I see why this is best known as an instrumental.
	11:03am F. Unger: Never forget… “On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence…”
	11:03am Joe R.: :: mind blown :: never knew there were lyrics (but good call to drop ‘em?)
	11:03am phat in Lincoln: Damn
	11:03am Frank In Queens: Haha, Todd. Was just thinking the same thing!
	11:03am clarke: handy - bet there is frost on the ol'pumpkin up thar, this mawnin'!!!
	11:04am Frank In Queens: @clarke, close but not quite yet.
	11:04am DJ Guin: "Listen, Mister Unger..Get Out!"
	11:04am N. Hefti: I asked those vocals to be removed from their place of residence…
	11:04am Handy Haversack: It's weirdly warm, clarke! Window's open wide for the kittens to take in the world!
	11:04am Frank In Queens: Hell, I'm STILL pulling tomatoes off my plants.
	11:04am clarke: wow, well, it is a bit chilly in TX
	11:05am rich the greeb: It’s dropping to like 40 in nyc later
	11:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy Garry Marshall birthday! (b 1934, d 2016)
	11:05am Paul: Jack and Tony "singing" You're So Vain" is beyond bizarre.
	11:05am clarke: wow, Frank!! them 'maters will not be thrown at the Islanders!! (hopefully)
	11:05am Todd-o-phonic Todd: This is great! Looks like they haven't recorded since 2013 though.
	11:06am Frank In Queens: Too early for pitchforks just yet, clarke. They have the same exact record as last year at this point in the season, and they haven't even played a home game yet.
	11:07am clarke: i will remain calm, Frank!
	11:07am Will the Sound Guy: The low is dropping to 32f in Chester tonight... Warm now tho
	11:08am clarke: hey todd - this week is where the packers get back on TRACK!! (hopefully)
	11:08am DJ Guin: Tragically...Daughtry will not be at the Wellmont on the 16th. Just lost his daughter at age 25.
	11:08am Ciggy: Christmas Lights!!! C'mon let's hear that rant.
	11:08am clarke: he makes the love in the strangest kinda way
	11:10am Handy Haversack: You had every opportunity to turn this around, Turntable 1. Seemed like you were just spinning your wheels. Now tighten your belt and get out of here!
	11:10am Kotzwinkled: Gotta say once again that this Opatz record was produced by Malachi DeLorenzo, son of the Violent Femmes drummer!
	11:11am clarke: dawson aint likin' TT#1 speaking of #1's - i don't hear ANY on the new Freedy album, sadly.
	11:11am JohnEBGood: Good Day Michael and WFMU family. You help make Saturday special 🎸🙂
	11:11am Listener Baby: Falsely accused was turntable #1 For it was the CD Player #1 that did it. In the den, with a laser.
	11:12am clarke: BABY!!! TT#1 has been scape-goated one too many times.
	11:12am Handy Haversack: History will vindicate CD Player 1! Let's see the disc, Shelley!
	11:12am steveo: Great picks, good to hear you MS! Going hiking in North Jersey tomorrow.. perfect weather, high of 46 Chance of snow there tomorrow night...
	11:13am Listener Baby: This has to change. Tt1 is misunderstood at best.
	11:13am Will the Sound Guy: Or could just be a dirty, dirty CD... Naughty, Naughty... Now go buff yourself up with plain white toothpaste and wipe with a clean cloth... 💿
	11:14am clarke: TT#! will be in shape by the time you reach the east coast, Baby!!
	11:14am Frank In Queens: That Ronnie Dawson CD would obviously benefit from the green marker treatment.
	11:14am Listener Baby: That’s what I’m hoping.
	11:14am SecretSquirrel: Here's a game: make up answer songs to hits that don't seem to call for them. Like 'Stairway to Heaven' from the lady's point of view.
	11:14am clarke: home remedy court!!
	11:15am Bob: Hey! That’s my first granola attempt. I should have taken a better photo. It tastes fantastic. I added about a quarter cup of good peanut butter as it was cooling.
	11:15am steveo: Enjoyable live remix on that CD...
	11:15am Frank In Queens: What about too much beer two nights ago? Does that count?
	11:16am clarke: it counts!! let the juice drip thru!!
	11:16am clarke: Baby - the GRAPE vine!! just what you need to hear!!
	11:17am steveo: I'm not convinced Other things don't glitter, too And my stairway Is not for sale
	11:18am SecretSquirrel: Now you're talkin', @steveo
	11:18am phat in Lincoln: Gonna see Lemonheads tonight.
	11:19am clarke: not you Will!!
	11:19am Frank In Queens: Ugh, probably won't make that show :(
	11:19am phat in Lincoln: Wait. Tom Petersson isn't touring with them now, too? That's a bummer.
	11:20am clarke: unfortunate split on that frown, frank
	11:20am myron feld: Cheap Trick was at the Wellmont? Not being a NJ resident, I've only been there twice, and both times the sound was horrendous.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: Yeah, I hope Tom can make it back into the fold. But I do think it's kind of charming that it's become a family band.
	11:21am Listener John from NJ: Hell0 all! S0rry I'm late.
	11:21am Tim from LH: I was at Cheap Trick last night also. What a set list! A lot off the first 3 albums. Loved it!
	11:21am clarke: i certainly was wrong about dax - he is fantastic
	11:22am Handy Haversack: Cold front coming through this afternoon, I guess. Get the records inside by 2!
	11:22am Frank In Queens: Rain as well.
	11:22am clarke: keep them away from Turntable #1
	11:23am Bob: I expected to hear you say it was a CT “butt-rock metal” setlist night. Those are the ones I don’t dig. I saw Elvis Costello in Ann Arbor a few weeks ago and it was REALLY bad. In every way. Strange choices. Bad new songs. Terrible arrangements. Elvis’ voice was pretty rough, which is forgivable, but everything else was a bummer.
	11:23am clarke: this is from a PERFECT album!!!
	11:23am Will the Sound Guy: I wish I could make it down there... I have yet to make one...
	11:24am Bob: Perfect album indeed, Clarke.
	11:26am Handy Haversack: Second Saturday is also when the exterminator comes to our bldg. So it hasn't worked out since we're stuck here till 1 usually.
	11:26am steveo: my command center sez chance of thunder, HH
	11:27am clarke: that's no way to kill roaches!! (from a local new orleans tv commercial that featured a flamenco dancer)
	11:35am Michael Shelley: Last time I saw EC live was not good- but they clearly can play...
	11:35am clarke: my EC curve has been at its nadir, lately. but, this might cause a slight, er, Spike!!
	11:36am clarke: do we get a college report, MS-baby??
	11:37am Glistener MW: Gawd I love the hallway-ish trebleyness of the vocal track! Unsure if that’s an Elvis decision or live studio’s decision, but the vibe of it still comes off as so-very-Costello
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Summon Rachel Bo Bachel!
	11:37am Frank In Queens: Hello, Sweet Love...
	11:38am phat in Lincoln: Lincoln!
	11:38am P-90: “You must NEVER do Chuck!”
	11:38am phat in Lincoln: Don't do Chuck!
	11:39am steveo: what's up, chuck?
	11:39am Listener Baby: @Clarke. All good so far. Crazy trip to nyc might not have been all to good for her grades. But she is hanging tough. I’ll see her not soon enough.
	11:39am Glistener MW: I’m just listening to the studio version of that EC track now in comparison, Michael, and you’re right, it sounds flat and less-exciting in every way
	11:40am Bob: EC was doing that thing live where he had a regular vocal mic plus a dirty one a few feet away. It was pretty irritating to see. He also had a megaphone for some weird reason. Really bad. Charlie Sexton added nothing and cluttered the songs mostly.
	11:40am JimB: My 8th grade class inevitably did Chuck.
	11:40am clarke: hey, noho is scarily close to nyc. i'm sure there's time to get that paper done!!
	11:40am andrew fuchs: AND Vincent Bell on guitar !!! All the Shirley Ellis and many Caellello records do ya-know... ;)
	11:41am Moammar: Where's the recap of the college trip?
	11:41am steveo: they are going to build the bike path from JC to Montclair, but I'm not sure it will be ready in time for the film festival
	11:42am clarke: never assume!!!
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Same for sporting events. Signs at Prudential Center about having to wear masks at all times, but most people didn't even walk in with them.
	11:42am Glistener MW: Ah, that’s a shame about the recent tour / Ann Arbor show, Bob!
	11:43am clarke: the shame is that the vaxed people are the ones that are forced to wear masks.
	11:43am Listener Baby: @Clarke. She missed her bus home. Blew off 3classes. Not stoked, am I.
	11:44am clarke: it's COLLEGE, Baby!! that shit happens!!
	11:45am Frank In Queens: @clarke, at this stage of the game, it's no big deal for me. I'm plenty used to it. And there's certain situations where I can imagine ever being maskless again (like on public transit).
	11:45am Paul: Hot Mic!
	11:46am clarke: wow, that's sad.
	11:48am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Oh, man, I love me some Brad Paisley.
	11:49am Jim: Michael, for New Years Day , maybe play side 1 , track 1 of 22 of your favorite vinyls.
	11:49am Paul: Brad Paisley's wife is beautiful.
	11:50am steveo: sure love is great, but sometimes I also need donuts
	11:50am Frank In Queens: @clarke, it is what it is. To me, it's just practical.
	11:51am Paul: @Jim, or second song on side two.
	11:51am jooves: How about an all “song and answer song” show? that occurred to me a couple weeks ago when I heard the great answer song “hurry, mr peters” a couple weeks ago on one of the shows here, could be a fun couple of hours….
	11:51am clarke: while i might agree - it is begrudgingly.
	11:52am DJ Guin: 40F forecast by 7pm. so long 2nd summer. 🥶
	11:54am steveo: Charles Calello (born August 24, 1938) is an American arranger, composer, conductor, record producer, and singer born in Newark, New Jersey. Calello attended Newark Arts High School
	11:55am Handy Haversack: So did you blow the college fund on codfish? You wouldn't be the first parent to fall for the old Philly Cod Switch.
	11:55am clarke: Jayhawks do this and very good, too
	11:55am Geoffrey in Ottawa: It'd be hard to improve on this, though.
	11:56am Listener Baby: Cool clavi on this. Never noticed it before.
	11:56am Bob: Fantastic song. The Jayhawks really nailed it too.
	11:56am Geoffrey in Ottawa: That said, I'd love to hear someone try.
	11:56am Tracy and Don: Jayhawks!
	11:56am JohnEBGood: GFR What a great band!!!!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Hmmmm, premonitions of my 2nd Drop In....
	11:56am myron feld: Bad Time is the Number Onest of Number Ones.
	11:56am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Oh, yeah, I have the Jayhawks version in my head without even knowing it. Yes, they did do a great cover.
	11:57am phat in Lincoln: This is the best, best, best Grand Funk song.
	11:57am myron feld: Liquor Giants used to cover it, too.
	11:57am clarke: when is that 2nd Drop-In, F??
	11:57am Hughie Considine: Grand Funk were known for a time as the world's loudest band -- according to the Guinness Book of World Records. I wonder if this distinction figured in the minds of the Spinal Tap creators.
	11:57am clarke: good point, myron!!!
	11:58am P-90: Someone SHOULD cover that
	11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: YES!!!
	11:58am DJ Guin: YES! Quincy!!!
	11:59am McGroovey: I don't think I've heard that Grave Funk song since I was about 12. Great song.
	11:59am Handy Haversack: When is that happening, Frank? Hey, McGroovey!
	12:00pm Omg: Quincy theme greatest song ever!!
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, 12/11 unless extraneous circumstance say otherwise.
	12:00pm SecretSquirrel: ROTFL
	12:00pm clarke: i'll be there, man!!!
	12:01pm Frank Zaatar: We did the college tour thing about 10 years ago. You could guarantee that the tour guide would tell you that the dining hall is just like Hogwarts. Even if it actually looked like Horn and Hardart circa 1955.
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: Gah, K8 has a gig that night. Hopefully load-in isn't till 8, then I can listen to the show.
	12:02pm clarke: how does one find out who the drop-in is, etc??
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: @handy, thank goodness for the archives! I missed Crypt Digger's slot last week, but caught it the next day.
	12:02pm Omg: Just realizing it’s Felix Unger Xilef Regnu Day
	12:03pm clarke: no, i won!!! (the rocktober).
	12:03pm Michael Shelley: JIM - good idea!
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, they're usually announced the week leading into the next slot. So the earliest you'll hear about it is the day after the last one. Unless you're a jerk like me and start talking about it too far in advance!
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: "It took me two days to figure out that F.U. was Felix Unger!"
	12:04pm clarke: what site to go to to see??
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: I think I had to catch your first one in the Archives, too, Frank -- it's rare that I delve into the Archives since it requires turning off WFMU. But for you? Of course!
	12:05pm Michael Shelley: BRACE YOURSELF - the best live performance of any song ever: www.youtube.com...
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, social media aside, usually here: wfmu.org...
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: Love that Honeybus
	12:06pm clarke: thanks, FiQ!!!
	12:06pm SecretSquirrel: Joe Cocker's version of this is hard to top
	12:07pm DJ Guin: I played Live once with my shirt off once until the Librarian quietly asked me to leave.
	12:07pm Listener Baby: @Baby. They are burning up the stage. Man, some folks sure could rock.
	12:07pm Mike Sin: In the early 90s, I basically bought a Honeybus comp mainly for the the three tracks that I knew. What an incredible surprise! It’s now hard to find a track that I don’t like by them.
	12:08pm clarke: THIS HEAR is the only social media i do!!
	12:09pm SecretSquirrel: @FrankZataar unless it's "Japanese Gothic with Toltec Overtones"
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, and it's definitely more SOCIAL than a lot of the other platforms.
	12:09pm clarke: pre-DJ!!!
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: Remarkable how ubiquitous is was for front men to go topless. It persisted well into the '80s, as recent footage of a shirtless, quite buff Scott Miller leading Game Theory attests. And you would have thought Scott would know better.
	12:09pm gf2002: I dig Grand Funk but one of the best comments I've ever heard was someone hearing their cover of The Locomotion and saying it sounded like Farner's guitar cable started crapping out when he was recording that solo
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: Frank Zaatar: yes @haverford
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: I love Al's take on this one.
	12:10pm clarke: the solo is the BEST thing about that version!!
	12:11pm Moammar: The Beatles should have slunk away in shame after hearing this record.
	12:11pm Mailman Tom: I saw Al Green perform at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1969
	12:11pm SecretSquirrel: @FrankZataar that's the official/unofficial description of Swarthmore's dining hall
	12:12pm phat in Lincoln: I should break out my Odd Couple Sings record, if I can find it.
	12:12pm clarke: a Royal Suite, here!
	12:13pm gf2002: @clarke I dig Farner's solo too, but that comment cracked me up! I also heard similar said about the guitar solo on Crazy Elephant's Gimme Gimme Good Lovin...
	12:13pm Dominick: That Al Green is brilliant !!
	12:13pm clarke: always beats a Royal Flush!!
	12:13pm McGroovey: I wonder if anyone ever wrote a piece of music called Cod Piece?
	12:14pm clarke: jethro tull!!
	12:14pm DJ Guin: Friend of the Enz here!! YAY!
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: AH, this one is a total #1!
	12:15pm DJ Guin: Neil and Tim say thanks!
	12:15pm clarke: drum sound just jumps off that (crazy pressed) record!!
	12:15pm gf2002: If no one has recorded a song called "Cod Piece", I nominate Sting and his lute for the gig
	12:16pm P-90: Didn’t Spinal Tap release a B-side called “Codpiece Part 1” during their Renaissance rock period?
	12:16pm Listener Baby: There is zero low end on this track. That’s one of the reason it pops so much.
	12:17pm Motobro: Split Endz, such a great classic Check out the track shark attack...
	12:17pm James G: Excellent choice!!
	12:17pm phat in Lincoln: Might need more synth solos in my life.
	12:17pm DG: Not only is that G. Funk song a classic (it's one of maybe 3 great songs they ever did), it was covered by the Jayhawks covered in the '90s. Saw GF, who once sold out Shea Stadium, in a little park on Long Island 8-10 years ago (the 2 original guys w/out Farner, plus a former KISS guitarist & new vocalist). They weren't that bad, but sadly didn't do that song...
	12:19pm Mike W: I have that etched Enz record too! I bought it when picture discs and so on were proliferating, and I always wanted it to be worth money. I think it goes for $8, maybe less.
	12:19pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: I used to have that Split Enz etched record. Need to grab another copy soon.
	12:20pm clarke: that would've paid for college freshman year!!
	12:20pm Hughie Considine: Is the point of buying an 8-track of a great album just to keep it as a fetish object? It's not because it sounds good, right?
	12:21pm clarke: no MovieTime, today??????
	12:22pm Listener Baby: This is really weird.
	12:22pm gf2002: I don't get the value of 8 tracks, but people collect anything I guess. Around 1986 I scored a 2-tape 8-track set of the White Album in this slipcase black box, when I took it home to play it, tape #1 snapped immediately because the foam under the tape rotted out.
	12:22pm Frank Zaatar: @Secret Squirrel: Don't I know.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, let's see if we get any movie talk from our host in the next break.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: Slow week for me anyway as I had a friend in town from NC.
	12:24pm clarke: i'm rarin' at the bit - for once!!
	12:24pm Moammar: I don't see why the guy in "Psycho" has to kill the dog. It's always the dogs who suffer in these situations.
	12:25pm Pedro in Arlington: Speaking of Elvis Costello, his version of Psycho, used as a bonus track on the Rykodisk and Rhino versions of Almost Blue, is the BEST version of this song written by the great Leon Payne.
	12:25pm Listener Baby: He’s Psycho.
	12:26pm Moammar: I have to cover my dog's ears every time this song comes up on shuffle.
	12:27pm clarke: not too hard!!!
	12:27pm gf2002: Otto Preminger's "Fallen Angel" is running on Movies TV this month, and it's free on YouTube as well. One of my favorite noirs ever, I'll watch it whenever it's on. Highly recommended!
	12:27pm DG: Is this the first version for "Psycho"? Heard Costello's version on a b-side (during his country period, it was live) & thought it was the scariest song I'd ever heard (he sings it much creepier than this guy does). And yes, it's a bonus track on both versions of the reissue of "Almost Blue."
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: @gf2002, true -- to me 8-tracks just 'collectibles" without the crucial audio component. But I'm sure an 8-track of Fun House would look great in a hipster shrine.
	12:27pm Micheal: Poor Mama!
	12:27pm happymaan: I'm one for laserdiscs personally
	12:28pm clarke: Bosch is very good!! they killed off sarah clarke tho. spoiler!!
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: Thanks for the tip @gf2002. Never saw that one.
	12:29pm clarke: MovieTime full of ups and downs for me, this week i LOVE the new wes anderson The French Dispatch (unlike the rest of the world)!! have already been to the theater twice to see it, and could do another. the low is a piece of crap made by Stanley Kubrick called Fear & Desire (1952) - one of the worst of all time.
	12:29pm Michael Shelley: In the book she dies in Hong Kong!
	12:30pm clarke: she was a gambler in the books??
	12:30pm clarke: i gotta read that series!!
	12:30pm gf2002: @Hughie Considine - I think 8 tracks are now valuable just for completist collectors and hipster bookshelf shrines as you said. They were portable but awful, to be honest. Especially when a song would fade halfway through so the cart could click into the next channel, then fade up again. Ridiculous!
	12:31pm phat in Lincoln: My birthday is Monday. And I love this Scorpio song
	12:31pm clarke: that kubrick piece-of-crap - i thought of Frank In Queens the whole time, because this film WANTS to be a sam fuller flick - but, NO way!!
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: Haven't seen French Dispatch yet, but I'll check it out eventually. I've found Anderson to be pretty hit or miss recently, but this one does look promising. My sole entry for this week was Deep Cover (1992) with Larry Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum. Really enjoyed it!
	12:31pm egould310: Wait; there are flying scorpions?
	12:31pm happymaan: Ummm, you can't just say a spoiler and then announce that afterward. @clarke
	12:32pm happymaan: Ah, well Michaels on it as well...a battle I lost.
	12:33pm Listener Baby: Watching the new Steve Martin, Martin Short show. So unbelievably bad, that we can’t stop watching it. Selena Gomez is a revelation. I’ve never seen a worst actress.
	12:33pm Glistener MW: My brain first heard that as “after we’ve done crime”
	12:33pm clarke: French Dispatch is getting KILLED in reviews - i can say that it is the MOST-wes wes anderson movie - it's "fault" is that it is TOO full of stuff - it's nearly too much.
	12:33pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello All. Well... No Bosch for me now!
	12:33pm Glistener MW: I’m now picturing the Shelleys criming-it-up across America
	12:33pm Pedro in Arlington: A fine doc on the first wave of post-commercial 8-track collecting before it got ruined by eBay. youtu.be...
	12:34pm Moammar: Rewatched "Last Picture Show." Perfect film, every shot, every second.
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: Have you all seen this -- Steely Dan's letter to Wes Anderson? Or..perhaps fiction? sdarchive.com...
	12:34pm Mailman Tom: We drove cross country in 1971, taking Route 66!
	12:34pm clarke: great one, that!
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: @Moammar, it is indeed a fantastic movie.
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: AGREE 100% - selena gomez ???? A robot would be better.
	12:35pm clarke: timothy bottoms didn't ever do much after that great film. so odd.
	12:35pm morphe': If ye are not at the 2nd Saturday Rec dingy nor on Rte 66 - meander down to Green Oasis Community Garden = Today Sat 13.Nov.2021 Lantern Festival Today - Latern Making Festival for kids of all ages:(nordic -pagan/pre christian/pre xmas lights festival of light) Lantern Festival Saturday, November 13, 2021 1:00 PM 4:00 PM Green Oasis Community Garden 376 E 8th St (Aves C/D) 10009 FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES !!!! There is usually a parade and a fire and smooorrrreees(sp???)
	12:35pm gf2002: I scored the deluxe Criterion Collection version of Two Lane Blacktop for a buck at a yard sale over the summer, but haven't had the time to enjoy it yet. Dennis Wilson barely speaks but he's fantastic in that film. I want to make it a double feature with Electra Glide In Blue one of these nights
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Kevin! How've you been? We watched two horror-ish movies: Ready or Not, which is revenge tale against the rich and gets into the idea that, ultimately, any family money is deeply evil; and Nina Forever, which was excellent, really about loss and trauma and who ends up carrying those burdens -- but also funny and even sexy.
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: Moammar - yes, a true masterwork is Last Picture Show.
	12:36pm Michael Shelley: search for timothy bottoms quote in this: pleasekillme.com...
	12:38pm clarke: yeah - not so good for timothy, there, ha ha. he was a very good actor, tho.
	12:38pm phat in Lincoln: Fake Beatles!
	12:38pm ?: The Slope is still thriving. Remembering your very good humored bartending at the Alehouse and continuing to enjoy your "one hit" program. ( You are really in prime form today.) The painful college process is quite wonderful, in retrospect, me now with 11 grand kids beginning their college cycles. Hoping your daughter thrives! Thanks for another delightful Saturday. Long time listener Ken
	12:39pm gene sculatti: Apparently Gary 'Dreamweaver' Wright was a Bugg.
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, but he did star in "That's My Bush!"
	12:39pm Listener Baby: @Baby. Did you watch the Sam Cooke doc?
	12:39pm clarke: what's THAT????
	12:40pm clarke: (afraid to ask)
	12:40pm morphe': Lantern Fest PS: Unlike most gardens we have good regs = No Hard Alcohol No Heavy drugs = read between the lines = hotdogs, hamburgers on the grill and beer, wine, weed in the corners... Like FMU = no toilet so bring a juice container or a paint bucket ... dump on the corner
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: BABY - what channel?
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:42pm Listener Baby: Netflix?..
	12:42pm gf2002: Hot Take Warning: Someone should ask Gary Wright why he took credit for Bobby Whitlock's keyboard parts on All Things Must Pass.
	12:42pm DG: I vaguely remember seeing "Two Lane Blacktop" on PBS decades ago & finding it pretty boring, but maybe I should see it again. Film Forum (great rep. theater here in NYC) is now having a road movie mini-fest, & I think they're showing it. Funny how no one knows that James Taylor once starred in indie movie.
	12:43pm Pedro in Arlington: The internet says Peter Bogdanovich directed Episode 6, Season 5 of the Sopranos. Got to rewatch. Last Picture Show is perfection, like the book, and Bogdanovich is a fine actor too. The guy's lived several lives.
	12:46pm clarke: Two-Lane Blacktop = view-worthy!! That's My Bush = uhhhh???
	12:46pm gf2002: @DG Definitely worth seeing Two Lane Blacktop again, the cinematography is stellar and it is both James Taylor's and Dennis Wilson's only prominent acting roles, which is a curiosity in itself. The box set includes a book with the original script in full, and much was cut for the final release. And a fascinating backstory is how the studio head at the time literally sank the film, out of various grudges and other issues. The studio literally sabotaged the film for decades after the release. Unreal!
	12:47pm drr: Recently saw Bogdanovich's screwball comedy "What's Up Doc?" with Ryan O'Neal, Barbra Streisand, and Madeline Kahn. Very funny.
	12:47pm DG: I think Baby may be referring to "Sam Cooke: Legend" which was recently on 13/PBS...except that in true PBS fashion, it's actually a more than 15-year-old doc. that ABKCO made, I guess for home video which they presented like it was new....still worth seeing though.
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: @drr, I can't stomach Babs, but I enjoyed "What's Up Doc?"
	12:48pm yerfriendpaul: Love What’s Up Doc and Paper Moon
	12:48pm clarke: What's Up Doc - frequently discussed Here - and stands up VERY well!!! mornin' Dave
	12:48pm Hughie Considine: Pedro, Peter B played the shrink of Tony's shrink in Sopranos.
	12:48pm Frank In Queens: My go to Bogdanovich recommendation is "Saint Jack" with Ben Gazarra. Fantastic movie!
	12:49pm Frank In Queens: Or rather, Ben Gazzara.
	12:49pm clarke: St. Jack = very good!!
	12:49pm gf2002: Paper Moon is brilliant. And so is Mask
	12:49pm Frank In Queens: I hope Jay makes his way back up to the NE sometime next year.
	12:49pm Listener Baby: I just checked it’s called the two killings of Sam Cooke. Netflix. Very good.
	12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: @Hughie Yup, he and Melfi both seriously flouted professional ethics guidelines for shrinks. But their scenes wouldn't have worked otherwise.
	12:50pm Hughie Considine: I agree -- but what flouting!
	12:51pm drr: Hadn't heard of Saint Jack, will look it up. hey clarke. Anybody seen Monte Hellman's film "Cockfighter", with Warren Oates?
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: The other day I flashed on the scene where Patsy scares Gloria Trillo into leaving Tony alone. So many great moments.
	12:51pm Michael Shelley: What's Up Doc - fantastic
	12:51pm clarke: read the book - great!!
	12:52pm Frank In Queens: Why this studio version of Lookout took about 20 years to get a proper release is baffling!
	12:52pm clarke: drr - Big Daddy Weirdo said to give you his warm regards, from memphis!!!
	12:53pm Michael Shelley: AGREE Frank - also, wonder if they tried another version for In Color??
	12:53pm P-90: Also “They All Laughed”(1981). Sort of the unofficial “sister” movie to “Saint Jack”. Well worth a look.
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Great stuff as ever. Take it easy, everyone. Stay Number One!
	12:54pm clarke: HH - l8r!
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: @Michael, good question. To my knowledge, another version has yet to surface on any the reissues that have come out since the first big campaign in the late 90s.
	12:55pm Michael Shelley: They All Laughed = train wreck
	12:55pm clarke: that clock on the wall says... does anybody really know what time it is??
	12:56pm clarke: anyone ever get the feelin' they been Trick'd!!! goo'nite
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: Some may disagree, but for me IWYTWM is the poster-child of tracks where the live version is the definitive version.
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Put the old Pizza in a Cup guy right out of business.
	12:57pm clarke: i love the studio version - but, i'm not like everybody else..
	12:57pm phat in Lincoln: Oh, Nancy
	12:57pm Listener Baby: @Frank. Also Rock and Roll All Night
	12:57pm morphe': Thanks Mikey - ya never tell the folks yer Ma shone on the silver screen???
	12:57pm DG: gf2002: OK, will try to see it, and yeah, it seemed like another movie that got buried or sabotaged by its studio. Also saw "What's Up Doc" again for the firs time since its release & liked it, although didn't find it as hysterical as I did as a tween/teen. Barbara was funny & sexy (at least then) but O'Neal was kinda blah.
	12:57pm clarke: THIS IS LIKE A RIDE!!!!
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: @Baby, and Maybe I'm Amazed?
	12:58pm yerfriendpaul: I like Steve and Bernadette’s version of that tune
	12:58pm Montmaster J: Just finished the John Lurie memoir "History of Bones." Very enjoyable and funny. I'd recommend.
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Fun show, Michael! Glad you're back.
	12:59pm Listener Baby: Baby’s dad was on one of the best ever odd couple episodes
	12:59pm yerfriendpaul: Up there in all time greatest TV show themes
	12:59pm drr: Clarke: return the greeting for me!
	12:59pm morphe': "Don't clean up yet... I'm not finished making a mess.."
	12:59pm TomTom: 11 ALIVE!
	12:59pm clarke: will do!!
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: See you all later on!
	1:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Michael!
	1:02pm Vistavision: On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remind himself from his place of residence!!!!!
	1:02pm gene sculatti: Stomp it dry, Rex!
	1:48pm egould310: Of course. Thanks for this Rex.

	11:03am Joe R.: :: mind blown :: never knew there were lyrics (but good call to drop ‘em?)

	11:04am Frank In Queens: Hell, I'm STILL pulling tomatoes off my plants.

	11:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy Garry Marshall birthday! (b 1934, d 2016)

	11:05am Todd-o-phonic Todd: This is great! Looks like they haven't recorded since 2013 though.
	11:06am Frank In Queens: Too early for pitchforks just yet, clarke. They have the same exact record as last year at this point in the season, and they haven't even played a home game yet.
	11:07am clarke: i will remain calm, Frank!
	11:07am Will the Sound Guy: The low is dropping to 32f in Chester tonight... Warm now tho
	11:08am clarke: hey todd - this week is where the packers get back on TRACK!! (hopefully)
	11:08am DJ Guin: Tragically...Daughtry will not be at the Wellmont on the 16th. Just lost his daughter at age 25.
	11:08am Ciggy: Christmas Lights!!! C'mon let's hear that rant.
	11:08am clarke: he makes the love in the strangest kinda way
	11:10am Handy Haversack: You had every opportunity to turn this around, Turntable 1. Seemed like you were just spinning your wheels. Now tighten your belt and get out of here!
	11:10am Kotzwinkled: Gotta say once again that this Opatz record was produced by Malachi DeLorenzo, son of the Violent Femmes drummer!
	11:11am clarke: dawson aint likin' TT#1 speaking of #1's - i don't hear ANY on the new Freedy album, sadly.
	11:11am JohnEBGood: Good Day Michael and WFMU family. You help make Saturday special 🎸🙂
	11:11am Listener Baby: Falsely accused was turntable #1 For it was the CD Player #1 that did it. In the den, with a laser.
	11:12am clarke: BABY!!! TT#1 has been scape-goated one too many times.
	11:12am Handy Haversack: History will vindicate CD Player 1! Let's see the disc, Shelley!
	11:12am steveo: Great picks, good to hear you MS! Going hiking in North Jersey tomorrow.. perfect weather, high of 46 Chance of snow there tomorrow night...
	11:13am Listener Baby: This has to change. Tt1 is misunderstood at best.
	11:13am Will the Sound Guy: Or could just be a dirty, dirty CD... Naughty, Naughty... Now go buff yourself up with plain white toothpaste and wipe with a clean cloth... 💿
	11:14am clarke: TT#! will be in shape by the time you reach the east coast, Baby!!
	11:14am Frank In Queens: That Ronnie Dawson CD would obviously benefit from the green marker treatment.
	11:14am Listener Baby: That’s what I’m hoping.
	11:14am SecretSquirrel: Here's a game: make up answer songs to hits that don't seem to call for them. Like 'Stairway to Heaven' from the lady's point of view.
	11:14am clarke: home remedy court!!
	11:15am Bob: Hey! That’s my first granola attempt. I should have taken a better photo. It tastes fantastic. I added about a quarter cup of good peanut butter as it was cooling.
	11:15am steveo: Enjoyable live remix on that CD...
	11:15am Frank In Queens: What about too much beer two nights ago? Does that count?
	11:16am clarke: it counts!! let the juice drip thru!!
	11:16am clarke: Baby - the GRAPE vine!! just what you need to hear!!
	11:17am steveo: I'm not convinced Other things don't glitter, too And my stairway Is not for sale
	11:18am SecretSquirrel: Now you're talkin', @steveo
	11:18am phat in Lincoln: Gonna see Lemonheads tonight.
	11:19am clarke: not you Will!!
	11:19am Frank In Queens: Ugh, probably won't make that show :(
	11:19am phat in Lincoln: Wait. Tom Petersson isn't touring with them now, too? That's a bummer.
	11:20am clarke: unfortunate split on that frown, frank
	11:20am myron feld: Cheap Trick was at the Wellmont? Not being a NJ resident, I've only been there twice, and both times the sound was horrendous.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: Yeah, I hope Tom can make it back into the fold. But I do think it's kind of charming that it's become a family band.
	11:21am Listener John from NJ: Hell0 all! S0rry I'm late.
	11:21am Tim from LH: I was at Cheap Trick last night also. What a set list! A lot off the first 3 albums. Loved it!
	11:21am clarke: i certainly was wrong about dax - he is fantastic
	11:22am Handy Haversack: Cold front coming through this afternoon, I guess. Get the records inside by 2!
	11:22am Frank In Queens: Rain as well.
	11:22am clarke: keep them away from Turntable #1
	11:23am Bob: I expected to hear you say it was a CT “butt-rock metal” setlist night. Those are the ones I don’t dig. I saw Elvis Costello in Ann Arbor a few weeks ago and it was REALLY bad. In every way. Strange choices. Bad new songs. Terrible arrangements. Elvis’ voice was pretty rough, which is forgivable, but everything else was a bummer.
	11:23am clarke: this is from a PERFECT album!!!
	11:23am Will the Sound Guy: I wish I could make it down there... I have yet to make one...
	11:24am Bob: Perfect album indeed, Clarke.
	11:26am Handy Haversack: Second Saturday is also when the exterminator comes to our bldg. So it hasn't worked out since we're stuck here till 1 usually.
	11:26am steveo: my command center sez chance of thunder, HH
	11:27am clarke: that's no way to kill roaches!! (from a local new orleans tv commercial that featured a flamenco dancer)
	11:35am Michael Shelley: Last time I saw EC live was not good- but they clearly can play...
	11:35am clarke: my EC curve has been at its nadir, lately. but, this might cause a slight, er, Spike!!
	11:36am clarke: do we get a college report, MS-baby??
	11:37am Glistener MW: Gawd I love the hallway-ish trebleyness of the vocal track! Unsure if that’s an Elvis decision or live studio’s decision, but the vibe of it still comes off as so-very-Costello
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Summon Rachel Bo Bachel!
	11:37am Frank In Queens: Hello, Sweet Love...
	11:38am phat in Lincoln: Lincoln!
	11:38am P-90: “You must NEVER do Chuck!”
	11:38am phat in Lincoln: Don't do Chuck!
	11:39am steveo: what's up, chuck?
	11:39am Listener Baby: @Clarke. All good so far. Crazy trip to nyc might not have been all to good for her grades. But she is hanging tough. I’ll see her not soon enough.
	11:39am Glistener MW: I’m just listening to the studio version of that EC track now in comparison, Michael, and you’re right, it sounds flat and less-exciting in every way
	11:40am Bob: EC was doing that thing live where he had a regular vocal mic plus a dirty one a few feet away. It was pretty irritating to see. He also had a megaphone for some weird reason. Really bad. Charlie Sexton added nothing and cluttered the songs mostly.
	11:40am JimB: My 8th grade class inevitably did Chuck.
	11:40am clarke: hey, noho is scarily close to nyc. i'm sure there's time to get that paper done!!
	11:40am andrew fuchs: AND Vincent Bell on guitar !!! All the Shirley Ellis and many Caellello records do ya-know... ;)
	11:41am Moammar: Where's the recap of the college trip?
	11:41am steveo: they are going to build the bike path from JC to Montclair, but I'm not sure it will be ready in time for the film festival
	11:42am clarke: never assume!!!
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Same for sporting events. Signs at Prudential Center about having to wear masks at all times, but most people didn't even walk in with them.
	11:42am Glistener MW: Ah, that’s a shame about the recent tour / Ann Arbor show, Bob!
	11:43am clarke: the shame is that the vaxed people are the ones that are forced to wear masks.
	11:43am Listener Baby: @Clarke. She missed her bus home. Blew off 3classes. Not stoked, am I.
	11:44am clarke: it's COLLEGE, Baby!! that shit happens!!
	11:45am Frank In Queens: @clarke, at this stage of the game, it's no big deal for me. I'm plenty used to it. And there's certain situations where I can imagine ever being maskless again (like on public transit).
	11:45am Paul: Hot Mic!
	11:46am clarke: wow, that's sad.
	11:48am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Oh, man, I love me some Brad Paisley.
	11:49am Jim: Michael, for New Years Day , maybe play side 1 , track 1 of 22 of your favorite vinyls.
	11:49am Paul: Brad Paisley's wife is beautiful.
	11:50am steveo: sure love is great, but sometimes I also need donuts
	11:50am Frank In Queens: @clarke, it is what it is. To me, it's just practical.
	11:51am Paul: @Jim, or second song on side two.
	11:51am jooves: How about an all “song and answer song” show? that occurred to me a couple weeks ago when I heard the great answer song “hurry, mr peters” a couple weeks ago on one of the shows here, could be a fun couple of hours….
	11:51am clarke: while i might agree - it is begrudgingly.
	11:52am DJ Guin: 40F forecast by 7pm. so long 2nd summer. 🥶
	11:54am steveo: Charles Calello (born August 24, 1938) is an American arranger, composer, conductor, record producer, and singer born in Newark, New Jersey. Calello attended Newark Arts High School
	11:55am Handy Haversack: So did you blow the college fund on codfish? You wouldn't be the first parent to fall for the old Philly Cod Switch.
	11:55am clarke: Jayhawks do this and very good, too
	11:55am Geoffrey in Ottawa: It'd be hard to improve on this, though.
	11:56am Listener Baby: Cool clavi on this. Never noticed it before.
	11:56am Bob: Fantastic song. The Jayhawks really nailed it too.
	11:56am Geoffrey in Ottawa: That said, I'd love to hear someone try.
	11:56am Tracy and Don: Jayhawks!
	11:56am JohnEBGood: GFR What a great band!!!!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Hmmmm, premonitions of my 2nd Drop In....
	11:56am myron feld: Bad Time is the Number Onest of Number Ones.
	11:56am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Oh, yeah, I have the Jayhawks version in my head without even knowing it. Yes, they did do a great cover.
	11:57am phat in Lincoln: This is the best, best, best Grand Funk song.
	11:57am myron feld: Liquor Giants used to cover it, too.
	11:57am clarke: when is that 2nd Drop-In, F??
	11:57am Hughie Considine: Grand Funk were known for a time as the world's loudest band -- according to the Guinness Book of World Records. I wonder if this distinction figured in the minds of the Spinal Tap creators.
	11:57am clarke: good point, myron!!!
	11:58am P-90: Someone SHOULD cover that
	11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: YES!!!
	11:58am DJ Guin: YES! Quincy!!!
	11:59am McGroovey: I don't think I've heard that Grave Funk song since I was about 12. Great song.
	11:59am Handy Haversack: When is that happening, Frank? Hey, McGroovey!
	12:00pm Omg: Quincy theme greatest song ever!!
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, 12/11 unless extraneous circumstance say otherwise.
	12:00pm SecretSquirrel: ROTFL
	12:00pm clarke: i'll be there, man!!!
	12:01pm Frank Zaatar: We did the college tour thing about 10 years ago. You could guarantee that the tour guide would tell you that the dining hall is just like Hogwarts. Even if it actually looked like Horn and Hardart circa 1955.
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: Gah, K8 has a gig that night. Hopefully load-in isn't till 8, then I can listen to the show.
	12:02pm clarke: how does one find out who the drop-in is, etc??
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: @handy, thank goodness for the archives! I missed Crypt Digger's slot last week, but caught it the next day.
	12:02pm Omg: Just realizing it’s Felix Unger Xilef Regnu Day
	12:03pm clarke: no, i won!!! (the rocktober).
	12:03pm Michael Shelley: JIM - good idea!
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, they're usually announced the week leading into the next slot. So the earliest you'll hear about it is the day after the last one. Unless you're a jerk like me and start talking about it too far in advance!
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: "It took me two days to figure out that F.U. was Felix Unger!"
	12:04pm clarke: what site to go to to see??
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: I think I had to catch your first one in the Archives, too, Frank -- it's rare that I delve into the Archives since it requires turning off WFMU. But for you? Of course!
	12:05pm Michael Shelley: BRACE YOURSELF - the best live performance of any song ever: www.youtube.com...
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, social media aside, usually here: wfmu.org...
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: Love that Honeybus
	12:06pm clarke: thanks, FiQ!!!
	12:06pm SecretSquirrel: Joe Cocker's version of this is hard to top
	12:07pm DJ Guin: I played Live once with my shirt off once until the Librarian quietly asked me to leave.
	12:07pm Listener Baby: @Baby. They are burning up the stage. Man, some folks sure could rock.
	12:07pm Mike Sin: In the early 90s, I basically bought a Honeybus comp mainly for the the three tracks that I knew. What an incredible surprise! It’s now hard to find a track that I don’t like by them.
	12:08pm clarke: THIS HEAR is the only social media i do!!
	12:09pm SecretSquirrel: @FrankZataar unless it's "Japanese Gothic with Toltec Overtones"
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, and it's definitely more SOCIAL than a lot of the other platforms.
	12:09pm clarke: pre-DJ!!!
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: Remarkable how ubiquitous is was for front men to go topless. It persisted well into the '80s, as recent footage of a shirtless, quite buff Scott Miller leading Game Theory attests. And you would have thought Scott would know better.
	12:09pm gf2002: I dig Grand Funk but one of the best comments I've ever heard was someone hearing their cover of The Locomotion and saying it sounded like Farner's guitar cable started crapping out when he was recording that solo
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: Frank Zaatar: yes @haverford
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: I love Al's take on this one.
	12:10pm clarke: the solo is the BEST thing about that version!!
	12:11pm Moammar: The Beatles should have slunk away in shame after hearing this record.
	12:11pm Mailman Tom: I saw Al Green perform at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1969
	12:11pm SecretSquirrel: @FrankZataar that's the official/unofficial description of Swarthmore's dining hall
	12:12pm phat in Lincoln: I should break out my Odd Couple Sings record, if I can find it.
	12:12pm clarke: a Royal Suite, here!
	12:13pm gf2002: @clarke I dig Farner's solo too, but that comment cracked me up! I also heard similar said about the guitar solo on Crazy Elephant's Gimme Gimme Good Lovin...
	12:13pm Dominick: That Al Green is brilliant !!
	12:13pm clarke: always beats a Royal Flush!!
	12:13pm McGroovey: I wonder if anyone ever wrote a piece of music called Cod Piece?
	12:14pm clarke: jethro tull!!
	12:14pm DJ Guin: Friend of the Enz here!! YAY!
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: AH, this one is a total #1!
	12:15pm DJ Guin: Neil and Tim say thanks!
	12:15pm clarke: drum sound just jumps off that (crazy pressed) record!!
	12:15pm gf2002: If no one has recorded a song called "Cod Piece", I nominate Sting and his lute for the gig
	12:16pm P-90: Didn’t Spinal Tap release a B-side called “Codpiece Part 1” during their Renaissance rock period?
	12:16pm Listener Baby: There is zero low end on this track. That’s one of the reason it pops so much.
	12:17pm Motobro: Split Endz, such a great classic Check out the track shark attack...
	12:17pm James G: Excellent choice!!
	12:17pm phat in Lincoln: Might need more synth solos in my life.
	12:17pm DG: Not only is that G. Funk song a classic (it's one of maybe 3 great songs they ever did), it was covered by the Jayhawks covered in the '90s. Saw GF, who once sold out Shea Stadium, in a little park on Long Island 8-10 years ago (the 2 original guys w/out Farner, plus a former KISS guitarist & new vocalist). They weren't that bad, but sadly didn't do that song...
	12:19pm Mike W: I have that etched Enz record too! I bought it when picture discs and so on were proliferating, and I always wanted it to be worth money. I think it goes for $8, maybe less.
	12:19pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: I used to have that Split Enz etched record. Need to grab another copy soon.
	12:20pm clarke: that would've paid for college freshman year!!
	12:20pm Hughie Considine: Is the point of buying an 8-track of a great album just to keep it as a fetish object? It's not because it sounds good, right?
	12:21pm clarke: no MovieTime, today??????
	12:22pm Listener Baby: This is really weird.
	12:22pm gf2002: I don't get the value of 8 tracks, but people collect anything I guess. Around 1986 I scored a 2-tape 8-track set of the White Album in this slipcase black box, when I took it home to play it, tape #1 snapped immediately because the foam under the tape rotted out.
	12:22pm Frank Zaatar: @Secret Squirrel: Don't I know.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, let's see if we get any movie talk from our host in the next break.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: Slow week for me anyway as I had a friend in town from NC.
	12:24pm clarke: i'm rarin' at the bit - for once!!
	12:24pm Moammar: I don't see why the guy in "Psycho" has to kill the dog. It's always the dogs who suffer in these situations.
	12:25pm Pedro in Arlington: Speaking of Elvis Costello, his version of Psycho, used as a bonus track on the Rykodisk and Rhino versions of Almost Blue, is the BEST version of this song written by the great Leon Payne.
	12:25pm Listener Baby: He’s Psycho.
	12:26pm Moammar: I have to cover my dog's ears every time this song comes up on shuffle.
	12:27pm clarke: not too hard!!!
	12:27pm gf2002: Otto Preminger's "Fallen Angel" is running on Movies TV this month, and it's free on YouTube as well. One of my favorite noirs ever, I'll watch it whenever it's on. Highly recommended!
	12:27pm DG: Is this the first version for "Psycho"? Heard Costello's version on a b-side (during his country period, it was live) & thought it was the scariest song I'd ever heard (he sings it much creepier than this guy does). And yes, it's a bonus track on both versions of the reissue of "Almost Blue."
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: @gf2002, true -- to me 8-tracks just 'collectibles" without the crucial audio component. But I'm sure an 8-track of Fun House would look great in a hipster shrine.
	12:27pm Micheal: Poor Mama!
	12:27pm happymaan: I'm one for laserdiscs personally
	12:28pm clarke: Bosch is very good!! they killed off sarah clarke tho. spoiler!!
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: Thanks for the tip @gf2002. Never saw that one.
	12:29pm clarke: MovieTime full of ups and downs for me, this week i LOVE the new wes anderson The French Dispatch (unlike the rest of the world)!! have already been to the theater twice to see it, and could do another. the low is a piece of crap made by Stanley Kubrick called Fear & Desire (1952) - one of the worst of all time.
	12:29pm Michael Shelley: In the book she dies in Hong Kong!
	12:30pm clarke: she was a gambler in the books??
	12:30pm clarke: i gotta read that series!!
	12:30pm gf2002: @Hughie Considine - I think 8 tracks are now valuable just for completist collectors and hipster bookshelf shrines as you said. They were portable but awful, to be honest. Especially when a song would fade halfway through so the cart could click into the next channel, then fade up again. Ridiculous!
	12:31pm phat in Lincoln: My birthday is Monday. And I love this Scorpio song
	12:31pm clarke: that kubrick piece-of-crap - i thought of Frank In Queens the whole time, because this film WANTS to be a sam fuller flick - but, NO way!!
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: Haven't seen French Dispatch yet, but I'll check it out eventually. I've found Anderson to be pretty hit or miss recently, but this one does look promising. My sole entry for this week was Deep Cover (1992) with Larry Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum. Really enjoyed it!
	12:31pm egould310: Wait; there are flying scorpions?
	12:31pm happymaan: Ummm, you can't just say a spoiler and then announce that afterward. @clarke
	12:32pm happymaan: Ah, well Michaels on it as well...a battle I lost.
	12:33pm Listener Baby: Watching the new Steve Martin, Martin Short show. So unbelievably bad, that we can’t stop watching it. Selena Gomez is a revelation. I’ve never seen a worst actress.
	12:33pm Glistener MW: My brain first heard that as “after we’ve done crime”
	12:33pm clarke: French Dispatch is getting KILLED in reviews - i can say that it is the MOST-wes wes anderson movie - it's "fault" is that it is TOO full of stuff - it's nearly too much.
	12:33pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello All. Well... No Bosch for me now!
	12:33pm Glistener MW: I’m now picturing the Shelleys criming-it-up across America
	12:33pm Pedro in Arlington: A fine doc on the first wave of post-commercial 8-track collecting before it got ruined by eBay. youtu.be...
	12:34pm Moammar: Rewatched "Last Picture Show." Perfect film, every shot, every second.
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: Have you all seen this -- Steely Dan's letter to Wes Anderson? Or..perhaps fiction? sdarchive.com...
	12:34pm Mailman Tom: We drove cross country in 1971, taking Route 66!
	12:34pm clarke: great one, that!
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: @Moammar, it is indeed a fantastic movie.
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: AGREE 100% - selena gomez ???? A robot would be better.
	12:35pm clarke: timothy bottoms didn't ever do much after that great film. so odd.
	12:35pm morphe': If ye are not at the 2nd Saturday Rec dingy nor on Rte 66 - meander down to Green Oasis Community Garden = Today Sat 13.Nov.2021 Lantern Festival Today - Latern Making Festival for kids of all ages:(nordic -pagan/pre christian/pre xmas lights festival of light) Lantern Festival Saturday, November 13, 2021 1:00 PM 4:00 PM Green Oasis Community Garden 376 E 8th St (Aves C/D) 10009 FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES !!!! There is usually a parade and a fire and smooorrrreees(sp???)
	12:35pm gf2002: I scored the deluxe Criterion Collection version of Two Lane Blacktop for a buck at a yard sale over the summer, but haven't had the time to enjoy it yet. Dennis Wilson barely speaks but he's fantastic in that film. I want to make it a double feature with Electra Glide In Blue one of these nights
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Kevin! How've you been? We watched two horror-ish movies: Ready or Not, which is revenge tale against the rich and gets into the idea that, ultimately, any family money is deeply evil; and Nina Forever, which was excellent, really about loss and trauma and who ends up carrying those burdens -- but also funny and even sexy.
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: Moammar - yes, a true masterwork is Last Picture Show.
	12:36pm Michael Shelley: search for timothy bottoms quote in this: pleasekillme.com...
	12:38pm clarke: yeah - not so good for timothy, there, ha ha. he was a very good actor, tho.
	12:38pm phat in Lincoln: Fake Beatles!
	12:38pm ?: The Slope is still thriving. Remembering your very good humored bartending at the Alehouse and continuing to enjoy your "one hit" program. ( You are really in prime form today.) The painful college process is quite wonderful, in retrospect, me now with 11 grand kids beginning their college cycles. Hoping your daughter thrives! Thanks for another delightful Saturday. Long time listener Ken
	12:39pm gene sculatti: Apparently Gary 'Dreamweaver' Wright was a Bugg.
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, but he did star in "That's My Bush!"
	12:39pm Listener Baby: @Baby. Did you watch the Sam Cooke doc?
	12:39pm clarke: what's THAT????
	12:40pm clarke: (afraid to ask)
	12:40pm morphe': Lantern Fest PS: Unlike most gardens we have good regs = No Hard Alcohol No Heavy drugs = read between the lines = hotdogs, hamburgers on the grill and beer, wine, weed in the corners... Like FMU = no toilet so bring a juice container or a paint bucket ... dump on the corner
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: BABY - what channel?
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:42pm Listener Baby: Netflix?..
	12:42pm gf2002: Hot Take Warning: Someone should ask Gary Wright why he took credit for Bobby Whitlock's keyboard parts on All Things Must Pass.
	12:42pm DG: I vaguely remember seeing "Two Lane Blacktop" on PBS decades ago & finding it pretty boring, but maybe I should see it again. Film Forum (great rep. theater here in NYC) is now having a road movie mini-fest, & I think they're showing it. Funny how no one knows that James Taylor once starred in indie movie.
	12:43pm Pedro in Arlington: The internet says Peter Bogdanovich directed Episode 6, Season 5 of the Sopranos. Got to rewatch. Last Picture Show is perfection, like the book, and Bogdanovich is a fine actor too. The guy's lived several lives.
	12:46pm clarke: Two-Lane Blacktop = view-worthy!! That's My Bush = uhhhh???
	12:46pm gf2002: @DG Definitely worth seeing Two Lane Blacktop again, the cinematography is stellar and it is both James Taylor's and Dennis Wilson's only prominent acting roles, which is a curiosity in itself. The box set includes a book with the original script in full, and much was cut for the final release. And a fascinating backstory is how the studio head at the time literally sank the film, out of various grudges and other issues. The studio literally sabotaged the film for decades after the release. Unreal!
	12:47pm drr: Recently saw Bogdanovich's screwball comedy "What's Up Doc?" with Ryan O'Neal, Barbra Streisand, and Madeline Kahn. Very funny.
	12:47pm DG: I think Baby may be referring to "Sam Cooke: Legend" which was recently on 13/PBS...except that in true PBS fashion, it's actually a more than 15-year-old doc. that ABKCO made, I guess for home video which they presented like it was new....still worth seeing though.
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: @drr, I can't stomach Babs, but I enjoyed "What's Up Doc?"
	12:48pm yerfriendpaul: Love What’s Up Doc and Paper Moon
	12:48pm clarke: What's Up Doc - frequently discussed Here - and stands up VERY well!!! mornin' Dave
	12:48pm Hughie Considine: Pedro, Peter B played the shrink of Tony's shrink in Sopranos.
	12:48pm Frank In Queens: My go to Bogdanovich recommendation is "Saint Jack" with Ben Gazarra. Fantastic movie!
	12:49pm Frank In Queens: Or rather, Ben Gazzara.
	12:49pm clarke: St. Jack = very good!!
	12:49pm gf2002: Paper Moon is brilliant. And so is Mask
	12:49pm Frank In Queens: I hope Jay makes his way back up to the NE sometime next year.
	12:49pm Listener Baby: I just checked it’s called the two killings of Sam Cooke. Netflix. Very good.
	12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: @Hughie Yup, he and Melfi both seriously flouted professional ethics guidelines for shrinks. But their scenes wouldn't have worked otherwise.
	12:50pm Hughie Considine: I agree -- but what flouting!
	12:51pm drr: Hadn't heard of Saint Jack, will look it up. hey clarke. Anybody seen Monte Hellman's film "Cockfighter", with Warren Oates?
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: The other day I flashed on the scene where Patsy scares Gloria Trillo into leaving Tony alone. So many great moments.
	12:51pm Michael Shelley: What's Up Doc - fantastic
	12:51pm clarke: read the book - great!!
	12:52pm Frank In Queens: Why this studio version of Lookout took about 20 years to get a proper release is baffling!
	12:52pm clarke: drr - Big Daddy Weirdo said to give you his warm regards, from memphis!!!
	12:53pm Michael Shelley: AGREE Frank - also, wonder if they tried another version for In Color??
	12:53pm P-90: Also “They All Laughed”(1981). Sort of the unofficial “sister” movie to “Saint Jack”. Well worth a look.
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Great stuff as ever. Take it easy, everyone. Stay Number One!
	12:54pm clarke: HH - l8r!
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: @Michael, good question. To my knowledge, another version has yet to surface on any the reissues that have come out since the first big campaign in the late 90s.
	12:55pm Michael Shelley: They All Laughed = train wreck
	12:55pm clarke: that clock on the wall says... does anybody really know what time it is??
	12:56pm clarke: anyone ever get the feelin' they been Trick'd!!! goo'nite
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: Some may disagree, but for me IWYTWM is the poster-child of tracks where the live version is the definitive version.
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Put the old Pizza in a Cup guy right out of business.
	12:57pm clarke: i love the studio version - but, i'm not like everybody else..
	12:57pm phat in Lincoln: Oh, Nancy
	12:57pm Listener Baby: @Frank. Also Rock and Roll All Night
	12:57pm morphe': Thanks Mikey - ya never tell the folks yer Ma shone on the silver screen???
	12:57pm DG: gf2002: OK, will try to see it, and yeah, it seemed like another movie that got buried or sabotaged by its studio. Also saw "What's Up Doc" again for the firs time since its release & liked it, although didn't find it as hysterical as I did as a tween/teen. Barbara was funny & sexy (at least then) but O'Neal was kinda blah.
	12:57pm clarke: THIS IS LIKE A RIDE!!!!
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: @Baby, and Maybe I'm Amazed?
	12:58pm yerfriendpaul: I like Steve and Bernadette’s version of that tune
	12:58pm Montmaster J: Just finished the John Lurie memoir "History of Bones." Very enjoyable and funny. I'd recommend.
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Fun show, Michael! Glad you're back.
	12:59pm Listener Baby: Baby’s dad was on one of the best ever odd couple episodes
	12:59pm yerfriendpaul: Up there in all time greatest TV show themes
	12:59pm drr: Clarke: return the greeting for me!
	12:59pm morphe': "Don't clean up yet... I'm not finished making a mess.."
	12:59pm TomTom: 11 ALIVE!
	12:59pm clarke: will do!!
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: See you all later on!
	1:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Michael!
	1:02pm Vistavision: On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remind himself from his place of residence!!!!!
	1:02pm gene sculatti: Stomp it dry, Rex!
	1:48pm egould310: Of course. Thanks for this Rex.
