Listener comments!
	1:37pm goes211: Was hoping to be listening to your show and basking in post Marty Stuart concert bliss…alas his bus broke down for the second time! Let’s hope third time is the charm. My mom said after the first cancellation “probably too many drugs”!
	10:10am Listener Baby: Literally breaking rocks in the hot sun today, Baby. Will be looking to you for motivation and sustenance. The quail are out in force, this beautiful morning. Hello to all my fellow loyal listeners out there. Hope you are smiling, Baby. Have a great show!

	11:10am Robm: @KFHP reminds me got to catch that elton john show in the archives
	11:10am P-90: *Did Paul play the McCartney-esque BASS for Elton on that……?
	11:10am Listener Baby: Putting in a new vineyard, @Clarke. Too late in the season, with no water in the ground. Wrong and wrong. Yet still…
	11:11am clarke: i figured it was a new field. good luck & water! btw, all chatsters now accounted for, after the tornado in nola.
	11:11am Bob: Listener Baby is like Cool Hand Luke. Cool Hand Baby.

	11:12am Listener Baby: Nola is where Smith College is, no? My punk in Wellesley
	11:13am Frank In Queens: 8/10
	11:13am clarke: no, Newcomb College is here - Smith is northeast.
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Glad to hear it, clarke. I touched base with Mariano and saw G on efd's board. Glad you and drr are OK.
	11:14am Listener Baby: @Bob. Blistered Hand Baby is more like it. Also, procrastinating Baby would work too. On my way now. Hugs everyone!

	11:15am clarke: BABY!!! git at it!!
	11:15am greg g: Morning Michael and the Shelley faithful!!
	11:15am Listener Baby: Meant Noho, Clarke
	11:15am HungryFreak: We gave Jesus the flashlight. No one else gets as good battery life out of it.
	11:15am clarke: yes, Smith is in noho
	11:16am clarke: i keep meaning to listen to the punk's radio show... will git it done.
	11:17am Listener Baby: Clarke. She’s getting the hang of it.
	11:17am clarke: levels might be a bit low on this - one o' me faves.
	11:17am Squints: Oh my goodness. I never knew THESE guys covered this, too. Although that Mitch Easter cover on a prior marathon comp remains my favorite version.
	11:18am Squints: Agreed with clarke. Needs moarrrrr modj.
	11:18am clarke: this is the version that easter apes
	11:19am Squints: That's a funny way to spell "sees and raises."
	11:19am Squints: Although I like those triplets in the main lick.
	11:20am clarke: ha hah! Frank: how goeth in Q??
	11:21am Peter Horvath: Ahoy from Highland Park New Jersey number one listeners
	11:21am Frank In Queens: @clarke, the Q is good. Saw eyelids at TV Eye last night with Jay Gonzalez. Great show! Met Handy and K8 in person. Saw efd for the first time since the pandemic. Good stuff! How's NOLA doing in the wake of the big twister?
	11:22am P-90: Congratulations on the promotion @Roger
	11:22am clarke: wow, i envy that show!!!!!!!! we's jus' doin' the funky robot after that quick storm
	11:23am Frank In Queens: That sounds very NOLA.
	11:23am clarke: the tornado cut a swath thru arabi, though, and new orleans east. (read: it bypassed the main part of the city, luckily).
	11:24am clarke: who the Isles playing tonight??
	11:24am Frank In Queens: Man, that's horrible.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Frank and I were comparing cat-hair-on-WFMU-clothing loads before even meeting up at the show! That was a great night. An absolute blast. Really heartwarming, too, to see a band that was such a pandemic-related find for us. A great WFMU crowd with McGroovey and Mike from Brooklyn -- and meeting efd, Frank, and Christina!
	11:25am Squints: Got to bug. Off to pick a color for the replacement deck (yard, not tape, sadly). Then the Broons game is on. Will catch on replay. Hasta, babes.
	11:26am Frank In Queens: @clarke, they're playing the Broons tonight but i'll miss it. I'll be back at TV Eye for the Babyshakes/Groovy Movies show.
	11:26am clarke: wow!!! latah Squints - pass by any pubs on that errand trip??
	11:26am P-90: Did Michael just intentionally quote “Minority Report”?
	11:26am myron feld: Mrs. Feld and I echo your vow renewal sentiments 110%. It's a gift grab.
	11:26am clarke: two nites in a row!! wow.
	11:27am Frank In Queens: @clarke, yes. I was dubious about it at first, but Handy gave us the "young and vital" pep talk last night, so we're ready to go!
	11:28am Michael Shelley: P-90 - no.
	11:28am clarke: ahhhhhh. i am neither young nor vital, but i say go for It!!
	11:29am Frank In Queens: @clarke, there's a big DJ event there before the show starting at 3 as well. We plan on taking in a bit of that as well, so pacin is key to having an enjoyable night.
	11:29am Mister Dobalina: I totally agree, this was very well done by Gaylord !
	11:30am Kotzwinkled: We signed our newborn up for the Dolly Parton free book program and just go our first in the mail recently. Very exciting stuff.
	11:30am clarke: nice!!!! he's a cookie full of arsenic!!
	11:30am P-90: There’s a line that’s repeated in Spielberg’s movie of Minority Report: “there’s so much love in this house” -why I was curious
	11:30am convoy_pt2: Gaylord killed this song❤️❤️
	11:30am Handy Haversack: Gaylord!
	11:31am Frank In Queens: This was definitely a highlight from Sunday.
	11:31am P-90: Gaylord did nail this performance
	11:31am Handy Haversack: The show was pretty much all highlights on Sunday!
	11:31am Mister Dobalina: Gaylord, was on point, on key...on time! Good sound.
	11:32am graphic_taco: Gaylord freaking rocked it. He needs to perform more
	11:32am HyperDose: Gaylord is a straight savage on the mic
	11:32am common: Great!
	11:32am Andrew_in_WI: So glad I made it to the ecstatic end of the Hoof n mouth!
	11:32am convoy_pt2: Need to be pressed in a single
	11:33am clarke: was that EFD on ze drooms??
	11:33am greg g: Yes!! Killed it Gaylord!
	11:33am Christina Ginger: Gaylord was the sleeper hit of hoof and mouth. I kept thinking about the song the next day!
	11:34am clarke: 'lo CG!!
	11:35am Andres: Good morning! Yes! After this and last year’s performance surely Gaylord has been asked to front a band!
	11:35am Handy Haversack: Hey, Christina! K8 sends her very best -- a real treat to meet youse last night.
	11:36am Ken From Hyde Park: Gaylord is a member in good standing in the Fayelord 66 group.
	11:36am Christina Ginger: Hi Handy! So nice to meet you and K8 last nite!
	11:37am Christina Ginger: @Andres, I once had the pleasure of seeing The Great Gaylord in concert (this had to be circa 2007?) after years of reading about him in the Norton Catalog, and it was so much fun.
	11:38am Peter Horvath: While that happy confusion song was playing I had a different happy confusion song in my head, called Hereditary Impediment
	11:38am clarke: gaylord has fronted The A-Bones occasionally.
	11:38am P-90: OUR Scotty Moore?
	11:39am clarke: does one of your neighbors have a poodle?
	11:40am Handy Haversack: No yellow houses near Michael.
	11:40am Frank In Queens: @Handy ha!
	11:40am Michael Shelley: Elvis' Scottie Moore
	11:41am clarke: ha ha ha
	11:42am clarke: i have a neighbor that looks and plays like jame burton (but aged) - too bad he is such a lush that he can't really play out.
	11:42am Andres: I see the Great Gaylord and A-Bones material now. Thanks, Christina and clarke!
	11:43am clarke: -James
	11:43am Christina Ginger: @Andres- enjoy! It’s very fun.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: The kittens managed to get Bugbear's collar off during the night, and we can't find it. So now no warning when he's approaching. It's getting dangerous, clarke!
	11:47am Moammar: Oh, man, never heard this side. Excellent. The sound of Jacksboro Highway in Fort Worth.
	11:48am clarke: Wild Kingdom getting wilder!! (nance on stand-by)
	11:48am Frank In Queens: Handy Haversack's Wild Kingdom
	11:49am clarke: (marlin perkins voice): the younger of the species seems to be digesting some sort of leather product.
	11:50am Mailman Tom: I live across the street from the Wall Street Theater. Seating capacity is 690!
	11:51am clarke: RIP howard!
	11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Also, RIP Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters.
	11:52am clarke: met BJ of The Hombres at an early Ponderosa Stomp - great fellow!
	11:53am Michael Shelley: Mailman Tom - dont miss it if possible. Also - any nearby restaurant recs?
	11:53am clarke: whoah - what happened to taylor hawkins?? not my favorite drummer, but he was young!
	11:54am Frank In Queens: Only 50
	11:54am Andres: This Little Girl, #1 of today’s #1s!
	11:55am Mailman Tom: There is the Sedona Taphouse 3 blocks from the WST
	11:55am clarke: i happened to catch them on a jimmy kimmel where the whole band was sitting in the interiew area - hawk did not look so good.
	11:55am ledzeppelinsucks: I saw Taylor Hawkins Band and Family Township at O'Briens in Allston about 2011. Township was better.
	11:57am Mailman Tom: Also, BJ Ryan's Banc House on River Street, one block away from the WST
	11:57am clarke: zep - you live in Allston?? i did, during the mid-90's - L.A. on franklin st.
	11:58am SWK: Why is putting the chorus first breaking my brain?
	11:59am ledzeppelinsucks: No, spent a lot of time in MA for work.
	12:00pm clarke: sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
	12:03pm myron feld: "My Brilliant Friend" is my favorite show.
	12:03pm Mailman Tom: I saw the Foo Fighters perform at the Warfield Theater in SF in 1997. It was one of their first shows and I hate to say it, but they sounded awful.
	12:04pm clarke: they probably had a different drummer then - the guy from Sunny Day Real Estate maybe?
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: The Nuevo album is finally getting a vinyl release.
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: Taylor joined in'97, so there's a chance it might've been him.
	12:06pm ledzeppelinsucks: Family Township Chevy Nova 1979 watch video after this shoe https://youtu.be/6Pkc4nb22eY
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: It's winging its way to Brooklyn as we speak, Frank!
	12:08pm clarke: it must've been strange to be the third-best drummer in your own band. (pat smear has played some decent drums).
	12:09pm Christina Ginger: Is there anything Pat Smear can’t do?
	12:10pm clarke: eric peterson on geetaaaarrrr!!
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, holding out in ordering a copy until next week.
	12:11pm clarke: if the Bruins lose.
	12:11pm ledzeppelinsucks: In 1995 I saw Wool at Comet Tavern or Moe's on Pike ST. I believe some musicians in that Wool show, set or band were pending Foo Fighters members or recorded the Foo album. I asked some of them why they were so polished to play for free. They were packing their shit into a brand new van and said they had to be in Los Angeles within 24 hours.
	12:11pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks Michael. Sarah Shook!!!!
	12:12pm Handy Haversack: I got paranoid that supplies wouldn't last, Frank. I think because I am capable of judging how popular things are only through a WFMU lens. So in my mind, hordes of Michael Shelley listeners were going to create such a run on the pressing that it wouldn't make it till Friday! I am OK with my mental barriers, though.
	12:13pm clarke: look out Bugbear approaching!!
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: Don't DO that, clarke! Head on a swivel around here! Gotta start cooking brunch. The listening continues, though!
	12:14pm Andrew_in_WI: Pro-trepanation song
	12:15pm clarke: @Frank - i have a confession to make: just before i was moving out of texas, i saw a copy of Norman Greenbaum's 2nd album at the used bookstore - and didn't pick it up. my mind was moving-fried!!! sorry!
	12:15pm Adammets: My mom would say in Yiddish 'dri me a kopf' wihich means drill a hole in my head
	12:16pm clarke: (also, i waited to confess for a 'cooling off' period)
	12:16pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Did anyone else see the pre Taylor Foo Fighters open for Mike Watt at Tramps? With Eddie Vedder in Hovercraft
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, yeah I'm a bit concerned about stock as well. But I gotta pace myself with the purchases. This weekend is busy, so my weekly music budget is tied up in the eating/drinking/cover expenses.
	12:17pm Adammets: I'm going to Spain next week - Madrid, Barcelona, Basque Country - I'm sure you folks have been there - any thoughts on neat stuff? Sorry for the off topic.
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: @clarke I did not wish to know that!
	12:17pm clarke: spain is AWEsome!! they seem to like american rock and roll more than, uh, americans!!
	12:18pm clarke: sorry, Treasurer - i will try to be better in the futchah.
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: Adammets: see a rock band if possible.
	12:18pm rx scabin: Good afternoon.
	12:19pm Adammets: @Michael - I've scoped that out. There is a singer songwriter we may go so, sadly not quite #1 hits territory.
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: Adammets: Barcelona: Picasso museum, Miro museum, tram cars, Sagrada Familia if the lines aren't insane. If you have a chance, go to Menorca in the Balearics.
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: 9/10
	12:20pm clarke: oh, if we are talking Barcelona - it is a town you just never want to leave!!
	12:21pm Hubig Pie: Adammets, order the Txakoli
	12:22pm Adammets: Thanks for the info!
	12:23pm Tyler H: Ask (often enough) and ye shall receive. Missed last week, but just pledged now.
	12:23pm egould310: Gabba gabba hey!
	12:23pm Christina Ginger: @adammets, if you like art, In Madrid, the Reina Sofia houses Guernica and is/was free on Thursday nites. I also recommend going to a hidden gem, the Sorolla house/museum. It’s stunning, and well worth a visit.
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: Adammets: Also, the record shops in Barcelona are right off the tourist Rambla. There are two great bars over there. Ovella Negra is a student dive with cheap drinks and free popcorn. And Boadas is a fantastic old-school cocktail bar that's 50 feet off the Rambla but always full of only locals as far as we could tell. Great bar. World class.
	12:24pm clarke: what's in it Christina??
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: (Also: pickled asparagus in mayonnaise! And tomato on toast! [pan amb tomatje]!)
	12:25pm clarke: i thought you were cooking???? now yer making me hungry.
	12:26pm Adammets: @christina I'm looking forward to the Prado, may hit Reina Sofia if there is time. I am old enough to have seen Guernica at MoMA. I had not heard of Sorolla but will put it on the list.
	12:27pm clarke: i'm taking notes, as well. in case travel happens again.
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: (Forgot to say: the record shops and those bars are right near the university, just west of the Rambla.) Back to the potato!
	12:28pm Andrew_in_WI: Saw Del play around 20+ years ago during my hippie-ish days... he was old then
	12:28pm Andres: Edmondton, Alberta to Clovis, NM is quite the distance to cover for a recording session. Yielded results.
	12:28pm clarke: was that a mccartney album, handy?
	12:28pm Christina Ginger: @clarke- the Sorolla was the home of the artist Joaquin Sorolla, so it houses the collection of his works, largely painted in the late 1800’s early 1900’s, plus his collection of beautiful ceramics, mosaic tile work, and Art Deco furnishings. My descriptions do not do the home justice. It’s really stunning and one of the top small museums that I visited on my travels. His paintings are beautiful as well.
	12:29pm Andrew_in_WI: Also, bluegrass festivals are WAY rowdier than rock festivals.
	12:29pm clarke: noted - will check it/him/her
	12:32pm clarke: a quick perusal shows that i have seen Sorolla images, but just didn't know.
	12:33pm egould310: Twistin’ is a bona fide number one hit. One of my favorite tunes. Sam Cooke was the dude. Don’t even mind the saxophone.
	12:33pm Frank In Queens: 7/10
	12:33pm Adammets: @christina have you ever been to Olana, a couple/few hours north of NYC in the Hudson River Valley - it is Frederic Church's former home and a lot of fun when flowers in blooming. www.olana.org
	12:33pm clarke: the furnishing sound intrigueing. and the bongos.
	12:33pm Moammar: The bongo feet of springtime!
	12:34pm Andres: Handy, any Spanish influenced cocktails in your repertoire?
	12:34pm clarke: handy's cooking - can we take a massage??
	12:35pm Christina Ginger: @claker, I feel like his paintings are perfect for the covers of music and text books. @adammets, I haven’t been! I am going to check it out. Have you been to the Russel Wright Home? Also upstate, and a great day trip that allows for a picnic and hike on the grounds, too.
	12:35pm Andres: Pagliaro!! CanCon gold!!
	12:35pm clarke: a slight nod to Tighter And Tighter by alive'n'kickin'???
	12:36pm clarke: (in the verses)
	12:36pm johnk77: nice work today selecter here is a link to partick from sloan on twitter about taylor hawkins https://twitter.com/PatrickPentland/status/1507563214216830976
	12:36pm Andres: Michel Pagliaro
	12:38pm Adammets: @Christina - I have not. I'll put that one on my list, as well. Olana is also really nice because they have a two gardens - one for flowers and one for herbs, etc. It is a lovely setting and he made it to seem "oriental".
	12:39pm Kotzwinkled: Mike and all, have you seen the Punch Brothers cover The Cars on AV Undercover? Great stuff! www.youtube.com...
	12:39pm Moammar: What constitutes a mod sock?
	12:40pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: I love today's playlist photo!
	12:40pm Frank In Queens: Moammar, socks with the ubiquitous mod target on them
	12:40pm clarke: the 'mod target' being the old RAF logo
	12:41pm xtrakrispy: SPAIN: In Barcelona go see anything by Gaudi. The Sagrada Familia is a must (make an appointment now, before you go). La Hora de Vermut (Vermouth Hour is a must, especially on Sundays, but anyway between 1-3pm. Sweet Red Vermouth on the rocks with a plate of potato chips and anchovy stuff olives). La Xampanyeria In Barceloneta is fun. The town of Reus south of Barcelona is the home of Spanish Vermouth and one of the most fun towns I’ve ever been to. It is also where Gaudi was born.
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: Geoffrey in Ottawa: Playland Amusement Park in Rye NY
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: Risque mouths are the best mouths.
	12:41pm clarke: whenever i wore my RAF logo shirt in texas people would say "oh yew must really like target!"
	12:42pm paul: If you like Sam Cooke, you have to listen to "Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963." (The HSC was located in Miami)
	12:42pm jt: My 8th grade girlfriend bought me The Cars 1st Lp for my birthday, it had just come out.
	12:42pm johnk77: ben orr grew up in parma ohio a suburb of cleveland that ghoulardi made relentless fun of on his tv show during that period
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: @clarke haha. I avoided the target like the plague in my suited and booted days.
	12:43pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: I listened to the first Cars album while driving to work last week. Desert island disc for me, for sure.
	12:43pm Moammar: @Paul: The Harlem Square record is one of the most amazing things ever recorded. Rivals James Brown at the Apollo.
	12:43pm Adammets: Playland is the only municipally owned amusement park in the country (Westchester owns it).
	12:43pm clarke: actually, people hardly ever said a word to me where i was in texas.
	12:44pm paul: @Moammar, totally agree.
	12:44pm jt: BTW only something like 11% of the US work force is Unionized, and everyone always bellyaches about the Union, except those workers who are IN the Union.
	12:44pm paul: Word jazz!
	12:46pm jt: ...and you will never hear a Unionized worker praise 'socialism', but the US Military and Unions are pretty damn close to very efficient socialist organizations.
	12:46pm clarke: worst deal. A to B.
	12:47pm egould310: Thanks for the Sam Cooke recommendation. Saturday evening listening.
	12:48pm Frank In Queens: @egould it's a great Saturday night record
	12:48pm paul: @egould310, you won't regret it.
	12:48pm clarke: ray mason YESSSS!!!
	12:48pm morphe': Adammets - I live in Madrid part time and know the country ... just heard Michael ... he is right .. if ya eat normal meals .. best to get the Menu at lunch = 2-4pm .. If going out otherwise .. order a drink and do not ask to see the Carta - they will bring you free tapas = normally .. In Barcelona - one place to must eat is at Pinochio = Mercat Boqueria ask what is on today ... seating is a counter with no system so sort of like a Rugby scrum ... If waiting/standing .. order a Cava for yerselves .. and they'll get ya the next seats ... https://pinotxobar.com I also know of a swim spot a wee bit up the coast ... can walk 30 minutes .. or a bus .. I live in Madrid when there so I do not eat out . in Madrid .. I'll write to yer profile and can be more detailed in an email.. REMEMBER: If going out otherwise .. order a drink and do not ask to see the Carta - they will bring you free tapas = normally ..
	12:49pm egould310: Military efficiency?
	12:49pm Mike Sin: Hello Michael! Great show today! Hey! For clarity, that ain't no target on dem socks! It's a Royal Air Force Roundel! Old mods are very touchy about the correct terminology! ;)
	12:50pm Adammets: Thank you Morphe - good ideas. All hail the #1 hits hive mind.
	12:50pm paul: Bonus suggestion: Otis Redding, In Person at the Whisky A Go Go
	12:50pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Michael I'm bringing my soon-to-be-eleven-year-old son to NYC this summer and he loves a midway, so maybe we'll make a pit-stop in Rye on our way in or out. Thanks for the info.
	12:51pm PJ: @adammets: Barcelona: go see all the Gaudi buildings, including Parc Guell and La Sagrada Familia. Madrid: also check out the Thyssen-Bornemisza (sp?) museum. San Sebastian/Donostia: go from bar to bar in the old town (Casco Viejo) getting pintxos and drinks, some places are better than others but it's hard to go wrong. Bilbao: the Guggenheim building is more interesting than the permanent collection there, but they do get in interesting temporary exhibitions. Eat at Porrue (excellent) if you can afford it. Also in the Basque Country if you have time: Getaria - lovely medieval seaside village
	12:52pm clarke: NOTING all!! (read up mike sin!)
	12:52pm Andres: While studying french in Quebec my roommate wore a parka with a large RAF Roundell on the back. I thought it was like wearing a Sox jersey to a Yankees game. But no trouble ever came of it.
	12:53pm Frank In Queens: Speaking of Bill Withers, you can't go wrong with Bill Withers Live At Carnegie Hall either. Especially if you're not spending Saturday night alone ;)
	12:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: There is also a Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, if you like art museums.
	12:53pm clarke: i'm spending saturday night alone.
	12:53pm markg55: Love the Cars. And we used to see Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkiva around the hood when we lived in Soho.
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Such a great version. OK, diving into the stove now. Many thanks, Michael! Great post-Marathon show. Very glad to be here. Stay Number One, everybody! Keep talking at us!
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: Bill will keep you company clarke
	12:54pm clarke: ha ha ha ha - will try it.
	12:54pm Andres: This Bill Withers my other #1 of the day!
	12:55pm clarke: even though i let The Treasurer down - he giveth me advice.
	12:56pm SeanG: this intro sounds like that Wham song that starts JITTERBUG!!

	12:59pm PJ: @adammets: Also in the Basque Country, between Irun at the French Border and San Sebastian (about a 20 minute drive from San Sebastian), is Mt. Jaizkabel. If you are a hiker, it is a great walk to the top, if not, just drive up - incredible views of the Bay of Hendaye all the way to San Sebastian.

	1:03pm neil d: Seconded on all the Gaudi stuff in Barcelona, and the Dali museum in Figueres. El Mercader de l'Eixample is a phenomenal restaurant we happened onto in Barcelona, and went back again and again — the xuixo (custard-filled, chocolate-dipped Catalan pastry) is life-changing. Carles Abellan's Tapas 24 is pretty great, too, for patatas bravas and other staples.
	1:04pm Listener Baby: Dali Museum is amazing, so is the town it’s in

	11:16am clarke: i keep meaning to listen to the punk's radio show... will git it done.
	11:17am Listener Baby: Clarke. She’s getting the hang of it.
	11:17am clarke: levels might be a bit low on this - one o' me faves.
	11:17am Squints: Oh my goodness. I never knew THESE guys covered this, too. Although that Mitch Easter cover on a prior marathon comp remains my favorite version.
	11:18am Squints: Agreed with clarke. Needs moarrrrr modj.
	11:18am clarke: this is the version that easter apes
	11:19am Squints: That's a funny way to spell "sees and raises."
	11:19am Squints: Although I like those triplets in the main lick.
	11:20am clarke: ha hah! Frank: how goeth in Q??
	11:21am Peter Horvath: Ahoy from Highland Park New Jersey number one listeners
	11:21am Frank In Queens: @clarke, the Q is good. Saw eyelids at TV Eye last night with Jay Gonzalez. Great show! Met Handy and K8 in person. Saw efd for the first time since the pandemic. Good stuff! How's NOLA doing in the wake of the big twister?
	11:22am P-90: Congratulations on the promotion @Roger
	11:22am clarke: wow, i envy that show!!!!!!!! we's jus' doin' the funky robot after that quick storm
	11:23am Frank In Queens: That sounds very NOLA.
	11:23am clarke: the tornado cut a swath thru arabi, though, and new orleans east. (read: it bypassed the main part of the city, luckily).
	11:24am clarke: who the Isles playing tonight??
	11:24am Frank In Queens: Man, that's horrible.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Frank and I were comparing cat-hair-on-WFMU-clothing loads before even meeting up at the show! That was a great night. An absolute blast. Really heartwarming, too, to see a band that was such a pandemic-related find for us. A great WFMU crowd with McGroovey and Mike from Brooklyn -- and meeting efd, Frank, and Christina!
	11:25am Squints: Got to bug. Off to pick a color for the replacement deck (yard, not tape, sadly). Then the Broons game is on. Will catch on replay. Hasta, babes.
	11:26am Frank In Queens: @clarke, they're playing the Broons tonight but i'll miss it. I'll be back at TV Eye for the Babyshakes/Groovy Movies show.
	11:26am clarke: wow!!! latah Squints - pass by any pubs on that errand trip??
	11:26am P-90: Did Michael just intentionally quote “Minority Report”?
	11:26am myron feld: Mrs. Feld and I echo your vow renewal sentiments 110%. It's a gift grab.
	11:26am clarke: two nites in a row!! wow.
	11:27am Frank In Queens: @clarke, yes. I was dubious about it at first, but Handy gave us the "young and vital" pep talk last night, so we're ready to go!
	11:28am Michael Shelley: P-90 - no.
	11:28am clarke: ahhhhhh. i am neither young nor vital, but i say go for It!!
	11:29am Frank In Queens: @clarke, there's a big DJ event there before the show starting at 3 as well. We plan on taking in a bit of that as well, so pacin is key to having an enjoyable night.
	11:29am Mister Dobalina: I totally agree, this was very well done by Gaylord !
	11:30am Kotzwinkled: We signed our newborn up for the Dolly Parton free book program and just go our first in the mail recently. Very exciting stuff.
	11:30am clarke: nice!!!! he's a cookie full of arsenic!!
	11:30am P-90: There’s a line that’s repeated in Spielberg’s movie of Minority Report: “there’s so much love in this house” -why I was curious
	11:30am convoy_pt2: Gaylord killed this song❤️❤️
	11:30am Handy Haversack: Gaylord!
	11:31am Frank In Queens: This was definitely a highlight from Sunday.
	11:31am P-90: Gaylord did nail this performance
	11:31am Handy Haversack: The show was pretty much all highlights on Sunday!
	11:31am Mister Dobalina: Gaylord, was on point, on key...on time! Good sound.
	11:32am graphic_taco: Gaylord freaking rocked it. He needs to perform more
	11:32am HyperDose: Gaylord is a straight savage on the mic
	11:32am common: Great!
	11:32am Andrew_in_WI: So glad I made it to the ecstatic end of the Hoof n mouth!
	11:32am convoy_pt2: Need to be pressed in a single
	11:33am clarke: was that EFD on ze drooms??
	11:33am greg g: Yes!! Killed it Gaylord!
	11:33am Christina Ginger: Gaylord was the sleeper hit of hoof and mouth. I kept thinking about the song the next day!
	11:34am clarke: 'lo CG!!
	11:35am Andres: Good morning! Yes! After this and last year’s performance surely Gaylord has been asked to front a band!
	11:35am Handy Haversack: Hey, Christina! K8 sends her very best -- a real treat to meet youse last night.
	11:36am Ken From Hyde Park: Gaylord is a member in good standing in the Fayelord 66 group.
	11:36am Christina Ginger: Hi Handy! So nice to meet you and K8 last nite!
	11:37am Christina Ginger: @Andres, I once had the pleasure of seeing The Great Gaylord in concert (this had to be circa 2007?) after years of reading about him in the Norton Catalog, and it was so much fun.
	11:38am Peter Horvath: While that happy confusion song was playing I had a different happy confusion song in my head, called Hereditary Impediment
	11:38am clarke: gaylord has fronted The A-Bones occasionally.
	11:38am P-90: OUR Scotty Moore?
	11:39am clarke: does one of your neighbors have a poodle?
	11:40am Handy Haversack: No yellow houses near Michael.
	11:40am Frank In Queens: @Handy ha!
	11:40am Michael Shelley: Elvis' Scottie Moore
	11:41am clarke: ha ha ha
	11:42am clarke: i have a neighbor that looks and plays like jame burton (but aged) - too bad he is such a lush that he can't really play out.
	11:42am Andres: I see the Great Gaylord and A-Bones material now. Thanks, Christina and clarke!
	11:43am clarke: -James
	11:43am Christina Ginger: @Andres- enjoy! It’s very fun.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: The kittens managed to get Bugbear's collar off during the night, and we can't find it. So now no warning when he's approaching. It's getting dangerous, clarke!
	11:47am Moammar: Oh, man, never heard this side. Excellent. The sound of Jacksboro Highway in Fort Worth.
	11:48am clarke: Wild Kingdom getting wilder!! (nance on stand-by)
	11:48am Frank In Queens: Handy Haversack's Wild Kingdom
	11:49am clarke: (marlin perkins voice): the younger of the species seems to be digesting some sort of leather product.
	11:50am Mailman Tom: I live across the street from the Wall Street Theater. Seating capacity is 690!
	11:51am clarke: RIP howard!
	11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Also, RIP Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters.
	11:52am clarke: met BJ of The Hombres at an early Ponderosa Stomp - great fellow!
	11:53am Michael Shelley: Mailman Tom - dont miss it if possible. Also - any nearby restaurant recs?
	11:53am clarke: whoah - what happened to taylor hawkins?? not my favorite drummer, but he was young!
	11:54am Frank In Queens: Only 50
	11:54am Andres: This Little Girl, #1 of today’s #1s!
	11:55am Mailman Tom: There is the Sedona Taphouse 3 blocks from the WST
	11:55am clarke: i happened to catch them on a jimmy kimmel where the whole band was sitting in the interiew area - hawk did not look so good.
	11:55am ledzeppelinsucks: I saw Taylor Hawkins Band and Family Township at O'Briens in Allston about 2011. Township was better.
	11:57am Mailman Tom: Also, BJ Ryan's Banc House on River Street, one block away from the WST
	11:57am clarke: zep - you live in Allston?? i did, during the mid-90's - L.A. on franklin st.
	11:58am SWK: Why is putting the chorus first breaking my brain?
	11:59am ledzeppelinsucks: No, spent a lot of time in MA for work.
	12:00pm clarke: sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
	12:03pm myron feld: "My Brilliant Friend" is my favorite show.
	12:03pm Mailman Tom: I saw the Foo Fighters perform at the Warfield Theater in SF in 1997. It was one of their first shows and I hate to say it, but they sounded awful.
	12:04pm clarke: they probably had a different drummer then - the guy from Sunny Day Real Estate maybe?
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: The Nuevo album is finally getting a vinyl release.
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: Taylor joined in'97, so there's a chance it might've been him.
	12:06pm ledzeppelinsucks: Family Township Chevy Nova 1979 watch video after this shoe https://youtu.be/6Pkc4nb22eY
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: It's winging its way to Brooklyn as we speak, Frank!
	12:08pm clarke: it must've been strange to be the third-best drummer in your own band. (pat smear has played some decent drums).
	12:09pm Christina Ginger: Is there anything Pat Smear can’t do?
	12:10pm clarke: eric peterson on geetaaaarrrr!!
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, holding out in ordering a copy until next week.
	12:11pm clarke: if the Bruins lose.
	12:11pm ledzeppelinsucks: In 1995 I saw Wool at Comet Tavern or Moe's on Pike ST. I believe some musicians in that Wool show, set or band were pending Foo Fighters members or recorded the Foo album. I asked some of them why they were so polished to play for free. They were packing their shit into a brand new van and said they had to be in Los Angeles within 24 hours.
	12:11pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks Michael. Sarah Shook!!!!
	12:12pm Handy Haversack: I got paranoid that supplies wouldn't last, Frank. I think because I am capable of judging how popular things are only through a WFMU lens. So in my mind, hordes of Michael Shelley listeners were going to create such a run on the pressing that it wouldn't make it till Friday! I am OK with my mental barriers, though.
	12:13pm clarke: look out Bugbear approaching!!
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: Don't DO that, clarke! Head on a swivel around here! Gotta start cooking brunch. The listening continues, though!
	12:14pm Andrew_in_WI: Pro-trepanation song
	12:15pm clarke: @Frank - i have a confession to make: just before i was moving out of texas, i saw a copy of Norman Greenbaum's 2nd album at the used bookstore - and didn't pick it up. my mind was moving-fried!!! sorry!
	12:15pm Adammets: My mom would say in Yiddish 'dri me a kopf' wihich means drill a hole in my head
	12:16pm clarke: (also, i waited to confess for a 'cooling off' period)
	12:16pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Did anyone else see the pre Taylor Foo Fighters open for Mike Watt at Tramps? With Eddie Vedder in Hovercraft
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, yeah I'm a bit concerned about stock as well. But I gotta pace myself with the purchases. This weekend is busy, so my weekly music budget is tied up in the eating/drinking/cover expenses.
	12:17pm Adammets: I'm going to Spain next week - Madrid, Barcelona, Basque Country - I'm sure you folks have been there - any thoughts on neat stuff? Sorry for the off topic.
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: @clarke I did not wish to know that!
	12:17pm clarke: spain is AWEsome!! they seem to like american rock and roll more than, uh, americans!!
	12:18pm clarke: sorry, Treasurer - i will try to be better in the futchah.
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: Adammets: see a rock band if possible.
	12:18pm rx scabin: Good afternoon.
	12:19pm Adammets: @Michael - I've scoped that out. There is a singer songwriter we may go so, sadly not quite #1 hits territory.
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: Adammets: Barcelona: Picasso museum, Miro museum, tram cars, Sagrada Familia if the lines aren't insane. If you have a chance, go to Menorca in the Balearics.
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: 9/10
	12:20pm clarke: oh, if we are talking Barcelona - it is a town you just never want to leave!!
	12:21pm Hubig Pie: Adammets, order the Txakoli
	12:22pm Adammets: Thanks for the info!
	12:23pm Tyler H: Ask (often enough) and ye shall receive. Missed last week, but just pledged now.
	12:23pm egould310: Gabba gabba hey!
	12:23pm Christina Ginger: @adammets, if you like art, In Madrid, the Reina Sofia houses Guernica and is/was free on Thursday nites. I also recommend going to a hidden gem, the Sorolla house/museum. It’s stunning, and well worth a visit.
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: Adammets: Also, the record shops in Barcelona are right off the tourist Rambla. There are two great bars over there. Ovella Negra is a student dive with cheap drinks and free popcorn. And Boadas is a fantastic old-school cocktail bar that's 50 feet off the Rambla but always full of only locals as far as we could tell. Great bar. World class.
	12:24pm clarke: what's in it Christina??
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: (Also: pickled asparagus in mayonnaise! And tomato on toast! [pan amb tomatje]!)
	12:25pm clarke: i thought you were cooking???? now yer making me hungry.
	12:26pm Adammets: @christina I'm looking forward to the Prado, may hit Reina Sofia if there is time. I am old enough to have seen Guernica at MoMA. I had not heard of Sorolla but will put it on the list.
	12:27pm clarke: i'm taking notes, as well. in case travel happens again.
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: (Forgot to say: the record shops and those bars are right near the university, just west of the Rambla.) Back to the potato!
	12:28pm Andrew_in_WI: Saw Del play around 20+ years ago during my hippie-ish days... he was old then
	12:28pm Andres: Edmondton, Alberta to Clovis, NM is quite the distance to cover for a recording session. Yielded results.
	12:28pm clarke: was that a mccartney album, handy?
	12:28pm Christina Ginger: @clarke- the Sorolla was the home of the artist Joaquin Sorolla, so it houses the collection of his works, largely painted in the late 1800’s early 1900’s, plus his collection of beautiful ceramics, mosaic tile work, and Art Deco furnishings. My descriptions do not do the home justice. It’s really stunning and one of the top small museums that I visited on my travels. His paintings are beautiful as well.
	12:29pm Andrew_in_WI: Also, bluegrass festivals are WAY rowdier than rock festivals.
	12:29pm clarke: noted - will check it/him/her
	12:32pm clarke: a quick perusal shows that i have seen Sorolla images, but just didn't know.
	12:33pm egould310: Twistin’ is a bona fide number one hit. One of my favorite tunes. Sam Cooke was the dude. Don’t even mind the saxophone.
	12:33pm Frank In Queens: 7/10
	12:33pm Adammets: @christina have you ever been to Olana, a couple/few hours north of NYC in the Hudson River Valley - it is Frederic Church's former home and a lot of fun when flowers in blooming. www.olana.org
	12:33pm clarke: the furnishing sound intrigueing. and the bongos.
	12:33pm Moammar: The bongo feet of springtime!
	12:34pm Andres: Handy, any Spanish influenced cocktails in your repertoire?
	12:34pm clarke: handy's cooking - can we take a massage??
	12:35pm Christina Ginger: @claker, I feel like his paintings are perfect for the covers of music and text books. @adammets, I haven’t been! I am going to check it out. Have you been to the Russel Wright Home? Also upstate, and a great day trip that allows for a picnic and hike on the grounds, too.
	12:35pm Andres: Pagliaro!! CanCon gold!!
	12:35pm clarke: a slight nod to Tighter And Tighter by alive'n'kickin'???
	12:36pm clarke: (in the verses)
	12:36pm johnk77: nice work today selecter here is a link to partick from sloan on twitter about taylor hawkins https://twitter.com/PatrickPentland/status/1507563214216830976
	12:36pm Andres: Michel Pagliaro
	12:38pm Adammets: @Christina - I have not. I'll put that one on my list, as well. Olana is also really nice because they have a two gardens - one for flowers and one for herbs, etc. It is a lovely setting and he made it to seem "oriental".
	12:39pm Kotzwinkled: Mike and all, have you seen the Punch Brothers cover The Cars on AV Undercover? Great stuff! www.youtube.com...
	12:39pm Moammar: What constitutes a mod sock?
	12:40pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: I love today's playlist photo!
	12:40pm Frank In Queens: Moammar, socks with the ubiquitous mod target on them
	12:40pm clarke: the 'mod target' being the old RAF logo
	12:41pm xtrakrispy: SPAIN: In Barcelona go see anything by Gaudi. The Sagrada Familia is a must (make an appointment now, before you go). La Hora de Vermut (Vermouth Hour is a must, especially on Sundays, but anyway between 1-3pm. Sweet Red Vermouth on the rocks with a plate of potato chips and anchovy stuff olives). La Xampanyeria In Barceloneta is fun. The town of Reus south of Barcelona is the home of Spanish Vermouth and one of the most fun towns I’ve ever been to. It is also where Gaudi was born.
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: Geoffrey in Ottawa: Playland Amusement Park in Rye NY
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: Risque mouths are the best mouths.
	12:41pm clarke: whenever i wore my RAF logo shirt in texas people would say "oh yew must really like target!"
	12:42pm paul: If you like Sam Cooke, you have to listen to "Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963." (The HSC was located in Miami)
	12:42pm jt: My 8th grade girlfriend bought me The Cars 1st Lp for my birthday, it had just come out.
	12:42pm johnk77: ben orr grew up in parma ohio a suburb of cleveland that ghoulardi made relentless fun of on his tv show during that period
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: @clarke haha. I avoided the target like the plague in my suited and booted days.
	12:43pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: I listened to the first Cars album while driving to work last week. Desert island disc for me, for sure.
	12:43pm Moammar: @Paul: The Harlem Square record is one of the most amazing things ever recorded. Rivals James Brown at the Apollo.
	12:43pm Adammets: Playland is the only municipally owned amusement park in the country (Westchester owns it).
	12:43pm clarke: actually, people hardly ever said a word to me where i was in texas.
	12:44pm paul: @Moammar, totally agree.
	12:44pm jt: BTW only something like 11% of the US work force is Unionized, and everyone always bellyaches about the Union, except those workers who are IN the Union.
	12:44pm paul: Word jazz!
	12:46pm jt: ...and you will never hear a Unionized worker praise 'socialism', but the US Military and Unions are pretty damn close to very efficient socialist organizations.
	12:46pm clarke: worst deal. A to B.
	12:47pm egould310: Thanks for the Sam Cooke recommendation. Saturday evening listening.
	12:48pm Frank In Queens: @egould it's a great Saturday night record
	12:48pm paul: @egould310, you won't regret it.
	12:48pm clarke: ray mason YESSSS!!!
	12:48pm morphe': Adammets - I live in Madrid part time and know the country ... just heard Michael ... he is right .. if ya eat normal meals .. best to get the Menu at lunch = 2-4pm .. If going out otherwise .. order a drink and do not ask to see the Carta - they will bring you free tapas = normally .. In Barcelona - one place to must eat is at Pinochio = Mercat Boqueria ask what is on today ... seating is a counter with no system so sort of like a Rugby scrum ... If waiting/standing .. order a Cava for yerselves .. and they'll get ya the next seats ... https://pinotxobar.com I also know of a swim spot a wee bit up the coast ... can walk 30 minutes .. or a bus .. I live in Madrid when there so I do not eat out . in Madrid .. I'll write to yer profile and can be more detailed in an email.. REMEMBER: If going out otherwise .. order a drink and do not ask to see the Carta - they will bring you free tapas = normally ..
	12:49pm egould310: Military efficiency?
	12:49pm Mike Sin: Hello Michael! Great show today! Hey! For clarity, that ain't no target on dem socks! It's a Royal Air Force Roundel! Old mods are very touchy about the correct terminology! ;)
	12:50pm Adammets: Thank you Morphe - good ideas. All hail the #1 hits hive mind.
	12:50pm paul: Bonus suggestion: Otis Redding, In Person at the Whisky A Go Go
	12:50pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Michael I'm bringing my soon-to-be-eleven-year-old son to NYC this summer and he loves a midway, so maybe we'll make a pit-stop in Rye on our way in or out. Thanks for the info.
	12:51pm PJ: @adammets: Barcelona: go see all the Gaudi buildings, including Parc Guell and La Sagrada Familia. Madrid: also check out the Thyssen-Bornemisza (sp?) museum. San Sebastian/Donostia: go from bar to bar in the old town (Casco Viejo) getting pintxos and drinks, some places are better than others but it's hard to go wrong. Bilbao: the Guggenheim building is more interesting than the permanent collection there, but they do get in interesting temporary exhibitions. Eat at Porrue (excellent) if you can afford it. Also in the Basque Country if you have time: Getaria - lovely medieval seaside village
	12:52pm clarke: NOTING all!! (read up mike sin!)
	12:52pm Andres: While studying french in Quebec my roommate wore a parka with a large RAF Roundell on the back. I thought it was like wearing a Sox jersey to a Yankees game. But no trouble ever came of it.
	12:53pm Frank In Queens: Speaking of Bill Withers, you can't go wrong with Bill Withers Live At Carnegie Hall either. Especially if you're not spending Saturday night alone ;)
	12:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: There is also a Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, if you like art museums.
	12:53pm clarke: i'm spending saturday night alone.
	12:53pm markg55: Love the Cars. And we used to see Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkiva around the hood when we lived in Soho.
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Such a great version. OK, diving into the stove now. Many thanks, Michael! Great post-Marathon show. Very glad to be here. Stay Number One, everybody! Keep talking at us!
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: Bill will keep you company clarke
	12:54pm clarke: ha ha ha ha - will try it.
	12:54pm Andres: This Bill Withers my other #1 of the day!
	12:55pm clarke: even though i let The Treasurer down - he giveth me advice.
	12:56pm SeanG: this intro sounds like that Wham song that starts JITTERBUG!!
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: All is forgiven clarke
	12:56pm paul: But not the Games People Play written by Joe South. A curveball.
	12:56pm clarke: fun show - i feel like i have been back to Spain. "go" bruinz.
	12:57pm KWilde: Michael on fire today!
	12:57pm Randy_C: @Adammets: Here are a few Barcelona highlights to note, current as of 2011. No guarantees that any of these are still around or still worth visiting.

Unique to Catalan culture and the band is great. Then, go to Cuines Santa Caterina in the Mercat Santa Caterina for brunch. Arc de Triomf Park is a nice place for a stroll, especially on a Sunday (lots of street performers and the like). See if you can get into a game of petanca (local bocci variant). Unless you’re a huge Miro fan, skip the Miro Museum and go to Park Guell instead (park designed by Gaudi). Much more fun to hang out on the serpentine bench and people-watch. Make reservations for Sagrada Familia in advance, and plan to spend at least half a day there. As far as I’m concerned it’s the most spectacular building in the world. You can easily spend an hour or two just looking at the nativity façade outside, and another hour or two inside. Take the tour of the Catalan Music Palace or, even better, go to a concert there. Barcelona is a great biking city. We rented from the Dutch hippies at BudgetBikes and rode down to the water and along the beach, past the giant fish sculpture by Frank Gehry, to the Parc del Forum (where the Primavera Music Festival happens every year), then back along the Diagonal, with maybe a quick detour to see the old bull ring at Monumental.

	12:57pm Frank In Queens: 10/10!
	12:58pm SeanG: holy shit! JITTERBUG!
	12:58pm jmd: Nailed it, as always!
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Now THIS is a #1 hit!
	12:58pm jt: I did wear a Sox hat to a Yankees game.A 9 year old girl gave me a very dirty look.But I would never wear a Yankees hat to a Red Sox game.
	12:59pm PJ: @adammets: Also in the Basque Country, between Irun at the French Border and San Sebastian (about a 20 minute drive from San Sebastian), is Mt. Jaizkabel. If you are a hiker, it is a great walk to the top, if not, just drive up - incredible views of the Bay of Hendaye all the way to San Sebastian.
	12:59pm SeanG: RINGO!!
	12:59pm clarke: piece and lurve

	1:00pm SeanG: :-D
	1:00pm clarke: get back out in that field!!
	1:03pm neil d: Seconded on all the Gaudi stuff in Barcelona, and the Dali museum in Figueres. El Mercader de l'Eixample is a phenomenal restaurant we happened onto in Barcelona, and went back again and again — the xuixo (custard-filled, chocolate-dipped Catalan pastry) is life-changing. Carles Abellan's Tapas 24 is pretty great, too, for patatas bravas and other staples.
	1:04pm Listener Baby: Dali Museum is amazing, so is the town it’s in
