Listener comments!
	10:59am Michael Shelley: BABY????
	11:00am Squints: ok then. heyHEYhey now.
	11:01am prof.fuzz: mornin' michael.
	11:01am Handy Haversack: Michael and all the Shellegamers! I can't quite tell the scale on that photo. I'm going to just imagine the plate is about four feet across.
	11:01am clarke: hey nowwww BABY!!!
	11:01am Frank In Queens: HEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY NOW!
	11:01am prof.fuzz: handy! clarke!
	11:02am Frank In Queens: Personal Apple Cakes all around!
	11:02am clarke: eddy's cake and eat it too!!!
	11:02am Mister Dobalina: Stuntman Mike Shelley...nice right to it.
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hola all me jolly Apple BundtCakes.
	11:02am Mister Dobalina: *ring
	11:03am Peter Horvath: Good morning Michael and everyone else! I must admit, I like the bass drum sound on this song.
	11:03am Handy Haversack: Baby! Squints! prof.fuzz! clarke! Frank! Mister D! Rev Rab! prof.fuzz, I saw Guerilla Toss last night at TV Eye. Hopefully by June 1, NYC will have replaced its store of distortion for your visit!
	11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy ...they have had to evict surfers & hippies from that damned bundtcake...
	11:04am prof.fuzz: @handy: never fear. we're bringing our own fuzz for the night.
	11:04am Squints: Hey, Handy. Again, this one sounds a little Butch Walkery in the chorus.
	11:05am drr: “Bundt” is a word invented and trademarked by Dave Dalquist, the pan's designer. The name was derived from the German word bundkuchen, meaning “a cake for a gathering.” Dalquist added the 'T' so he could trademark the name.
	11:05am McGroovey: OK. I ate my breakfast. Now I have to go reassemble a bicycle coaster brake hub.
	11:06am prof.fuzz: hey mcG! looking forward to your song demo!
	11:06am clarke: was that a balanced breakfast, McG??
	11:06am Handy Haversack: "(Keep looking shocked and move slowly toward the cake.)" McGroovey, you caught that the Beer Authority gathering is 5/13, yes?
	11:06am drr: i have to get the gasoline out of my lawnmower and see if that's the problem. I haven't had breakfast.
	11:06am Listener Baby: Oy
	11:07am Handy Haversack: With luck, the breakfast did not include any crucial parts of the bicycle coaster brake hub!
	11:07am clarke: you are a renter and u mow yer own yard, dave?
	11:08am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. Hmm, walking into a bakery right now that has mini bundt cakes.
	11:08am drr: Yes! The hourly rate offered by my (awesome) landlord makes it completely worth my time.
	11:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we talk so much about Donuts round here - I just thot we had some kinda industrial grade deep-fry happening in this photo...
	11:08am Frank In Queens: Currently enjoying my granola breakfast but I'm thinking that Tofu Rancheros would've been more appropriate.
	11:09am McGroovey: @prof.fuzz it's on my list of day's activities. (1) fix my daughter's bike, (2) bake cornbread or record song, (3) record song or bake cornbread, (4) set it for Brooklyn, possibly with a stop at the Beer place. I haven't totally settled on the order of priority, obviously.
	11:09am McGroovey: *set out
	11:10am prof.fuzz: that's a full day any way you slice it, mcG
	11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Goofing Eddy from Australia - but I would murder that cake w/ coffee this moment.
	11:10am Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! Thanks in advance for the distraction from the insanity!
	11:10am DavidL: Really appreciate that they didn’t autotune the life out of the Harry Styles tune, in addition to real band/instruments. Hope that trend continues!
	11:11am clarke: just call me The Ostrich!!!
	11:11am Handy Haversack: McGroove: Beer-place gathering is 5/13. Not that you can't stop there on your own. Just want to make sure you know that any other FMUers there today will be sheerly coincidental. You can, of course, stop off here for a drink, though Greenpoint is hardly on the way (to anywhere).
	11:11am Squints: I wanna hear a band called Tofu Rancheros.
	11:11am Frank In Queens: "Hi, I'm Phil Rizzuto for The Money Tree" www.youtube.com...
	11:12am Handy Haversack: "Don't that beat all!"
	11:12am drr: Clarke, I'm also at a stage in life where I mostly only want to be confronted with tasks I know I can complete in a given amount of time.
	11:12am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Michael & all!
	11:12am clarke: "mom says you have to get up!"
	11:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hell I wanna change my own name to Tofu Rancheros.
	11:13am Frank In Queens: Rev, sounds like you're hungry!
	11:14am drr: I also need to work on my truck and it's so nice out I have excuse not to. But I don't want to.
	11:14am clarke: we don't acknowlege curtis unless he knocks first.
	11:14am herb.nyc: hola. i'm off-line now but see that harry styles led off the show. a woman i know wrote LARGER THAN LIFE, about boy bands. fun and scholarly read. try. (woman is maria sherman, and she sez she now writes for CREAM. i think. she's also on npr at times)
	11:14am myron feld: Anyone read "O Holy Cow!: The Selected Verse of Phil Rizzuto?" It is brilliant. www.goodreads.com...
	11:15am Hughie Considine: @Clarke! Had an absolute ball catching GBV last night on your ticket. No problem getting in -- they were only checking vax stuff. Anyway, wow, all the greats got played, lots of new ones too. Pollard was hilarious with his patter, referencing everything from Duke/UNC basketball, Wham, the superiority of Jose Cuervo, and several high leg kicks. Thanks a ton, smothered in hugs...
	11:16am clarke: that is GREAT, HC!!!!! glad to hear this!
	11:16am Squints: Cream? Or Creem? Has Creem been revived?
	11:16am drr: Did he take a side in the Duke/UNC thing?
	11:17am clarke: the durham bulls did win, last night.
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I am Tofu Rancheros - you killed my father - prepare to die !!!...
	11:17am Hughie Considine: He was more testing the crowd reaction, which was of course quite anti-Duke.... or "Dook," which is how the hardcore refer to the hated Durham institution.
	11:17am McGroovey: @Handy I did not, no. That does remove one FOMO from today's list, actually.
	11:18am clarke: was the crowd all masked, Hugh? @Tofu Rancheros - i am prepared!!
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but first, may I admire your Bundtcake...
	11:19am Squints: I dunno. Duke/UNC just makes me root for a bus crash in the parking lot. No fatalities. Just muss 'em up a bit.
	11:19am clarke: yes, but that is not a bundt cake!
	11:19am Hughie Considine: I'd say about 3/4s were masked. The closer to the stage, the more masks. But plenty were unmasked, despite posted signs saying you had to wear 'em.
	11:19am Baja Joe: Good morning Michael and everyone listening and posting and doing their laundry.
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I am sorry. It is nothing personal...
	11:21am clarke: well, part of me is sorry i wasn't there. Bryan Maclean wrote Orange Skies.
	11:21am McGroovey: @Handy I'll consider stopping for a beer, if successfully I've gotten through my list.
	11:21am Squints: Singer wants to be Grace real bad here. Lather-ish vibe.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: Pussycats is a very difficult listen.
	11:21am drr: It's Bundty enough.
	11:22am clarke: agreed, Frank - wtf harry?
	11:22am Squints: How much Bundt?
	11:22am Slaboch: Wow! Fun cover of “Orange Skies”!
	11:22am phat in lincoln: Well, this is interesting. And I believe the Love connection, ahem.
	11:22am Frank In Queens: I blame "Mr. Primal Scream" for that one.
	11:22am Squints: Mach mitt der bundt.
	11:22am drr: did she say "carnivore" yet?
	11:23am clarke: javolt!!!
	11:23am phat in lincoln: Oh, it's a cover! I've hardly heard Da Capo. It just sounds like a love tune.
	11:23am Squints: Actually a pre-1974 voiced Nilsson sweet take on Sir Winston's "Mother" would have been nifty.
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Grace or EarthaKitt ?
	11:24am Squints: Lay down the bundt and advance the runner.
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Sounds good, McGroove. My list is: make jalapeño hash and huevos mexicana when K8 gets back from her run; cut hair and beard; walk dog to bookstore for books; sit outside. I think that's about it.
	11:25am clarke: the reason why i continues the debate: used to listen to trucker's radio on WWL overnite, and there was a voiceover promo by Tompall Glaser - and he pronounced it like Laser.
	11:25am Squints: These aren't Mike Colley's lyrics. Just sayin'. 8^)
	11:26am Squints: Cooley. D'oh.
	11:26am clarke: i like the "sit outside" part.
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ballad of the ShoppingMall of Laredo
	11:26am Squints: Sitting outside is the corest of my competencies.
	11:27am Frank In Queens: "Sit outside" sounds way better than "work outside", which is what I have in store today, but gotta do one to make the other happen.
	11:27am clarke: what's on tap, Frank???
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: After all, one is not always able to SitOutside.
	11:28am Frank In Queens: Yard cleanup. Sweeping, weeding, things of that nature.
	11:28am clarke: (beer ref inclusive)
	11:28am Handy Haversack: I might water something, Frank, and fill the bird feeders. That seems like enough to feel like I earned some sitting.
	11:29am Head of Person: Hello DJ Michael Shelley. I see your apple bunt cake there, I actually made it twice with great luck. Tasted better as the apples fermented in the cake. I think the best way to ice that beast is to remove the cake from the pan, pour the icing into the bunt pan, return the cake until absorbed.
	11:29am HungryFreak: I already did some "weeding" this morning.
	11:29am Frank In Queens: I got nothing to water back there at the moment and it's still a tad early to plant anything.
	11:29am clarke: sounds like some spring has done traveled up nawth!!
	11:30am Frank In Queens: clarke, just enough to work outside. Not quite warm enough to hang back there or plant yet. A couple more weeks (hopefully).
	11:31am clarke: and here we are on the edge of summer (and jazzfest at the fairgrounds, today - i shan't geaux)
	11:31am Handy Haversack: The raspberry canes and the hop vines are growing together into one chaotic mass. The Devil's Hopyard indeed! At some point I might have to try to tame it a little, but for now I'm willing to propitiate and let its power wax. We also tried planting some flower seeds for the first time. No idea if that will work. We are ... bad at things.
	11:31am Frank In Queens: I generally feel the same way about remixes.
	11:32am clarke: hey, it is always interesting to hear different mixes. just re-mixes are not necessary, 95% of the time!
	11:32am Frank In Queens: The only remix that has replaced the original mix for me is Raw Power.
	11:32am myron feld: Chile rellenos
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A place & time in which things like GoodVibrations & StrawberryFields were getting fit into two minute PopChart Singles.
	11:33am Cooh John: The near rhyme is much better.
	11:33am P-90: So is that an alternate take from the original session?
	11:33am Mister Dobalina: I would not mind some chapulines tacos.
	11:33am Head of Person: Todd Rundgren's note-for-note cover of BB (that song?) really dissected the anatomy of the studio wizardry, hard to imagine that song any different.
	11:33am Glistener MW: !! I once heard a reggae cover of it that shortened those words to “she wear”. I wonder if one of the new mixers heard that and thought SNAP “now THERE’s a rhyme!”
	11:33am egould: That is a very fictional portrayal of Jerry West.
	11:33am yippie: I thought Charlie Brown had a square head because he was wearing a paper bag on his head in you're a good a man Charlie Brown scene 1
	11:33am clarke: does that open up MovieTime, Frank??
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Do you think the Giles Martin SuperBox Beatle Remixes are as awful as, say, Geoff Emerick seemed to think?
	11:34am Squints: No deeds to do, no promises to keep.
	11:35am clarke: that's the way we like it, Squints!!!
	11:35am CalZone!: 3 brothers in the TVs. Gtrs, and bass. drummer is their childhood friend
	11:35am Squints: Dang, that pre-chorus is awesome.
	11:35am Handy Haversack: Such a Number One. Great song.
	11:36am Tim from LH: Great new record. They are actually 3 brothers and their cousin on drums.
	11:36am Squints: Only a little spring, clarke. Still Godda**ed March until Memorial Day.
	11:36am egould: Yeah #1 hit song.
	11:37am TCJimmy: Three brothers singing in TV’s. Pronounce Television - Aries like visionaries.
	11:37am Frank In Queens: No movies this week, clarke. Watched the long cut of The Killing Of A Chinese Bookie the week before. But now hockey is over, so that means more movies, although the after 7PM FMU listening will be increasing as well.
	11:38am PatrickMC: Yonkers' favorite son
	11:38am Christina Ginger: Handy, hood will go crazy. You have to reel that stuff in. I planted Heliotrope seeds one year, and they did take, but it took two scatterings of seeds. I just wanted to say that I was inspired by Scott Joplin in my flower choices.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: That Televisionaries songs is really great. The one you played last week sounded like a better version of The Strokes.
	11:38am clarke: the past few weeks (i was in the country last weekend - gorgeous!), i have been checking out a lot of films that got posted on the youtube, recently - mostly from the year 1945. i can recommend: One Dangerous Night (1945) and One Mysterious Night (1945)
	11:39am clarke: hockey is over?!?
	11:39am MaineMike: Love that band, but I thought it's pronounced Tele-vision-arys?
	11:39am Frank In Queens: Well, the Isles are over.
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Major Orbison / Jay & the Americans - something something... Go Pozos !
	11:39am McGroovey: @Handy Oh, that reminds me that I was going to put cutting my hair on today's list. I have no beard to attend to
	11:40am clarke: ah. sorry for that - but, again: you have time for movie!!
	11:40am Hughie Considine: Bucci's show is on at 3 a.m. That can definitely affect ratings.
	11:41am Handy Haversack: Ha. My dad said he knew Mary from PP&M when she was growing up in the Village. She had a collie, apparently. And he took her in and gave her a coat to wear home when her BF kicked her out nude into the street one night. According to what I remember of his story. I know Bucci! And his Tom Waits from the Hoof & Mouth!
	11:41am Hoboken Jack: I know Bucci! Hello everybody!
	11:41am Glistener MW: I’m totally adding the JULIAN band to be CALENDAR!
	11:41am Hughie Considine: This is sage advice, kiddos...
	11:42am Peter Horvath: Start a band! All of you kids!
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Fire!
	11:42am clarke: hah like kids can read!
	11:42am PatrickMC: Ooooh this smokes
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I gave nekkid MaryTravers a bundtcake. For I am Tofu Rancheros.
	11:44am Peter Horvath: Ahoy Hoboken Jack
	11:44am clarke: using my shelley show drum-themed coaster for me pom juice!!
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it seemed like a good idea @ the time...
	11:44am Christina Ginger: Hoboken Jack will read to the kids AND teach them about cool music. Good morning, Jack!
	11:45am Squints: How's the childhood friend's hair?
	11:45am clarke: too bad he's not in the Glaser Bros!!!
	11:46am phat in lincoln: @clarke lol
	11:46am prof.fuzz: damn! all the drums are in my left hand channel. I've been doing it wrong for all these years!
	11:46am PatrickMC: Thank you for the Reverend. Always a treat
	11:46am Michael Shelley: Trevor runs a barber shop called The Style Council thestylecouncilroc.com
	11:46am jg: Drums in the left for me. I guess I have my speakers hooked up backwards. Never realized till now
	11:47am Jim from Tranquility: Drums are in my left ear. Out for a 12 mile hike grooving to Mike
	11:47am clarke: there's no right way, Prof - you oughtta know dat!
	11:47am McGroovey: @prof.fuzz you only need one mic and one track if you put the drums all on the left. Or vice versa.
	11:47am drr: another left channeler here. I mean it's on the left if I'm facing the speakers, which I am.
	11:47am phat in lincoln: The strings in this Al Green got sampled by somebody and I can't recall who it is.
	11:48am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	11:48am clarke: dave: don't wanna sound spoiled/greedy - but what's up with these dang CLOUDS!!!???
	11:48am prof.fuzz: it looks like there is a substantial left-channel faction among the listeners today!
	11:49am Squints: Nekkid Mary Travers. Now I can't get out the sultrily sung verse of Take For A Ride In Your Car Car out of my head.
	11:49am clarke: one can get used to PERFECT days, ay?
	11:49am prof.fuzz: @clarke: chose the left!
	11:51am Christina Ginger: Trevor’s shop is in a beautiful building in downtown Rochester, conveniently located down the street from the wonderful Bags Unlimited and not far from the the original Nick Tahou’s location. Just think: a day made up of a haircut, record storage shopping, and a garbage plate for dinner.
	11:51am Frank In Queens: "Man, I'm flashing..."
	11:52am clarke: robert johnson is from memphis - still is.
	11:52am Johnny Four Strings: Some dude did a terrific Number One called "Mixtape". Wish I could remember who that was...
	11:52am Hughie Considine: Ah yes, the _other_Robert Johnson ... the one who looked like he was about to break into "I'm a Pepper He's a Pepper" on the LP cover...
	11:53am clarke: oooh, i need Bags Unlimited!!
	11:53am rx scabin: Good morning, Everyone.
	11:53am Squints: He's got a heckhound on his trail.
	11:53am clarke: @Hughie - those photos are OUTSTANDING!! wanna share 'em with the rest of the class?
	11:53am PatrickMC: Wow haven't heard this in about 40 years. Flashing back to WPIX-FM
	11:55am clarke: a taste of your love
	11:55am Hughie Considine: totally, clarke
	11:55am robotbrian: Is this song about tamales too
	11:57am Christina Ginger: @clarke, I love the desk lady there. She is SOOO nice.
	11:57am Frank In Queens: I just do not understand those videos...
	11:57am Hughie Considine: I'd put Bram Tchaikovsky's "Girl of My Dreams" in with the Robert Johnson among those mixtape gems from that era, the WPIX FM era, you might even say...
	11:58am clarke: i need some 45 sleeves and LP transparents
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hollies song from like 1963. Hollies were there.
	11:59am Hughie Considine: i had friends in high school named schwarz and they always emphasized the 'z' sound, not the 'tz' sound, which sounds, you know, more ethnic?
	12:00pm Head of Person: Some folks don't realize the hard part is to CREATE something NEW. Tons of folks can play Jimmi Hendrix, not so much able create never before heard or seen Art. I mean, I could rewrite Shakespeare word-for-word myself.
	12:01pm Michael Shelley: Amen!
	12:01pm clarke: @hughie: do you have a site where you can post those photos?
	12:02pm clarke: amen - a four-leter word.
	12:02pm drr: pretty good repurposing of Mohair Sam
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'People have even copied my mistakes.' - Jimi
	12:03pm clarke: -t
	12:04pm drr: Well, this is just wonderful.
	12:04pm PatrickMC: I'll see your Girl of My Dreams and raise you one Starry Eyes
	12:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sheila Chandra on Creativity : realworldrecords.com...
	12:06pm Hughie Considine: @Patrick, 100% and Starry Eyes is top 10 of all time for me. @Clarke, I'll get them up on my Tumblr -- will have 'em up for next show.
	12:07pm Squints: Heh. I'll be happy if I can wave at playing the relevant part.
	12:07pm clarke: i bet Frank will dig Hughie's photos!! amongst others!!
	12:08pm clarke: will check out the video - AFTER the shew!!
	12:09pm clarke: mutiny!!
	12:09pm Head of Person: That is hilarious Rev, I haven't heard that quote. That is too funny. Here is the money quote for me from the Shelila Chandra link, " that most creators do not create from a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but that they create from a place of nothingness where things spontaneously arise. That is the place of the unknowable and in our lives it is very difficult to live with what is not known (yet), even though “I don’t know” is essential to true change and new growth. "
	12:11pm PatrickMC: Can't believe this is ? and the Mysterians
	12:11pm Squints: Wait. Did I hear that right? The 4 Seasons had done this? This might be another day down the rabbit hole for Squints.
	12:12pm clarke: you might need rabbit ears.
	12:13pm Kitschy Mama: Lovely program today!
	12:13pm Michael Shelley: APPLE CAKE LINK: michaelshelley.net...
	12:13pm Noah: Yo, that Smashmouth song was lit!
	12:13pm clarke: the name of the truckers radio show i admired MOST was The Charlie Douglas Road Gang on WWL-AM weeknights from 1968-198_
	12:13pm Squints: Now I wanna hear Bill Kirchen sing and play this.
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fave by ? & the Ms : 'You Captivate Me'.
	12:14pm neil in london: Enjoying listening in sunny England. Thanks for the great music. :)
	12:14pm Michael Shelley: watch it Frank!
	12:14pm McGroovey: @Hughie Girl of My Dreams is a great song! There are lots of gems on the Bram Tchaikovsky records!
	12:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The Trains' by Nashville Ramblers ...& other Children of Nuggets...
	12:15pm clarke: hmm... McG - i remember trying to find something else as good as GoMD on bram album???
	12:15pm onthetrain: Mike I just learned my wife know this song by heart ! No idea how or why. Thanks for playing down in the boondocks .
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: I'll check out those GBV pics, sure!
	12:16pm clarke: Trains is indeed a GREAT GREAT song, Rev!!
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: Trains is a bona fide #1 for sure.
	12:17pm clarke: @Frank - hughie's shots are really great!
	12:18pm Handy Haversack: Frank, Christina, any chance you might show up at Purgatory in Bushwick tonight?
	12:19pm clarke: oh--- speaking of jazzfest - this thursday at jazzfest, Leo Nocentelli is supposed to play his country album from 70's in its entirety.
	12:19pm McGroovey: @Clarke "Can't Give You Reasons" on Pressure/The Russians Are Coming is a great one that made it onto a lot of my mixtapes.
	12:19pm clarke: thnx McG - will check 'em.
	12:21pm drr: I had Jazz Fest tickets yesterday and couldn't get myself out of the office. One of my favorite artists played too. I just can't face the crowds.
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, we're going away next week, so we're going to lay pretty low until then to make sure we don't get sick. But we'll be back in time for the Mama Tried gig.
	12:22pm Listener Baby: Baby. What is status of Yolks?
	12:22pm clarke: i'm witcha dave! but, yesterday was so nice it was a sin to not go!! (that said, my neighbors returned from fairgrounds looking like lobsters)
	12:23pm egould: Yolks #1 hit song.
	12:23pm clarke: and oh---- BABY!! i forgot to say that i listened to the punk's radio show last week - outstanding!!
	12:23pm rx scabin: The number is 1.
	12:23pm drr: i got a lot done at the office, because of the guilt/FOMO, I guess.
	12:24pm Head of Person: creativity in aeronautic plane design. https://c.tenor.com/G7RCgbI7ypMAAAAM/airplane-dancing.gif
	12:24pm clarke: i've been going thru a ricky neilson phase - for 45 years!
	12:24pm Listener Baby: So cool Clarke. What a fine fellow you are. I will let her know.
	12:25pm clarke: @BABY - next time i will check in on her chat!!
	12:25pm drr: Last time I went to Jazz Fest I saw David Byrne...on a jumbotron. Had a great view of a lady throwing up and getting removed from the crowd though.
	12:25pm myron feld: Clarke, drr and any other New Orleans residents or visitors: I strongly recommend you see Lulu & The Broadsides in the next couple weeks: luluandthebroadsides.com... No, I'm not in the band. But they are GOOD.
	12:26pm HungryFreak: Great, now Michael's goosing the market for those Rick Nelson 45s I keep scoring for $1.
	12:26pm Michael Shelley: Baby - Yolks still functioning - but at a slow pace
	12:26pm clarke: you regaled us with that story, dave. at mandina's! ha ha.
	12:27pm clarke: thnx Myron - under advisement. ; ]
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: BABY - please post the link & time for your kid's radio show!
	12:27pm drr: clarke: I realized that as soon as I typed it. But not everybody is as lucky as you when it comes to auditing my oratory.
	12:28pm Listener Baby: She likes Emo a little too much, but she’s got very good taste besides that. She would love a note on the chat board!
	12:28pm clarke: i LOVE your stories, David!!!! more more more..
	12:28pm drr: Myron: that's a pretty fancy band right there.
	12:29pm clarke: i like some early emo - it sure did jump that shark - HARD!
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Sounds good, Frank! Hope you have a great trip! Anyone else local looking for a fun time tonight, see my profile for details on the benefit for National Network of Abortion Funds that K8's put together tonight. Four bands! All luminaries of the NYC feminist punk and postpunk scene; three comedians; prizes; raffles! Tonight in Bushwick, BK!
	12:30pm clarke: @Baby - another one of her colleagues had no idea carole king was a songwriter - bless her.
	12:31pm Daybreaks Thinking Thoughts 💭: As long as the piece of paper is coated with chlorophyll and not chloroform I think that’s fine!
	12:31pm Listener Baby: WZLY.org 1:00 pm Fridays. East Coast Time. She calls it Teen Movie Dance Party.
	12:32pm Listener Baby: @Clarke. Sheesh. Oh well.
	12:33pm drr: I've always found people/bands from Buffalo to be extra friendly and fun; I think it's cause they live in snow caves most of the year.
	12:33pm McGroovey: I lived in Rochester. Great music scene! I have an extensive Rochester music collection.
	12:34pm Listener Baby: @Baby. So Yolks not broken? Got it.
	12:34pm Daybreaks Thinking Thoughts 💭: Handy! You know that Daybreak is bringing the posse. I actually got one of my friends to agree to come over and sleep at the house to take an eye on the kiddos and Luna the wonder pup! so we will be heading your way from Northern New Jersey eye round two or 2:30 PM. It’s gonna be a fantastic night tonight even when the sun goes down. it’s gonna be in the upper 50s with really little to no wind!
	12:35pm clarke: @BABY - Teen Movie Dance Party - luv it!!
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: Looking forward to the Daybreak Gang, pal!
	12:36pm clarke: @Frank - where are ya'll going in NM??
	12:36pm ?: HH - not sure if I will make .. have a long-standing appointment uptown ... is there and endtime?ish?
	12:37pm Listener Baby: Damn GT is a great plYer
	12:37pm morphe': HH - not sure if I will make .. have a long-standing appointment uptown ... is there and endtime?ish?
	12:37pm Mister Dobalina: Muff it up, baby!!
	12:38pm clarke: so Eddy in Australia can hear it!!!
	12:38pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, Mostly in and around Santa Fe as we're going for a friend's wedding. But we'll be hitting up some other places yet. The itinerary will be confirmed sometime this week.
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: I would imagine over by 12, morph? About to get deep in the cooking, so I'll say thanks now, MS! Great stuff today! Very glad to have been here! Later on, Number Ones!
	12:39pm clarke: i have not spent a ton of time around them parts, but have a friend with a 'dude'ish ranch' not far from there.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: .Bon Apetit Chef Haversack !
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: See ya later on Handy.
	12:40pm drr: Frank, will you be seeing George C? He was here last week; we went record shopping which seemed faintly ridiculous, but that's what we did.
	12:40pm McGroovey: Syracuse had a good scene, also, but it was different from different. Syracuse music was/is more roots-oriented: blues-rock, countryish, jazz. There's a great Syracuse roots-rock band whose name slips my mind, similar to Los Lobos, I suppose. In the seventies and early eighties, Syracuse had a good pop-rock thing going, of which the last band standing is The Flashcubes/Screen Test. But Rochester has always had lots of great garage rock, and also lots of weird noisy "experimental" music of the sort that certain noise-loving WFMU people love
	12:40pm clarke: later handy - have good times- always
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: Hey @Clarke and all, a couple of pics from last night's GBV show in Carrboro and video too. (Some of them kept posting horizontal...how do you fix that, i wonder?) www.tumblr.com...
	12:41pm Listener Baby: So glad he didn’t
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: @drr, I will indeed be seeing George. It'll be my first time at Lost Padre too. Very much looking forward to that!
	12:42pm dave wuz here: ringo was the moe tucker of the beatles
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: Great shots, Hughie
	12:42pm clarke: thanks Hughie!! (for rubbing it in, haha!!)!!
	12:43pm drr: Yeah, every time I see his new arrival flips, I want to go to Lost Padre too.
	12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh interesting! Such a standard exposition of the 'Lennon Darkness'... off the wonderfully glum Beatles For Sale...
	12:43pm clarke: what is Lost Padre, ya'll?
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: @drr, I've had him pull stuff out and ship them to me on a few occasions. Got a great original pressing of Marquee Moon that way!
	12:44pm McGroovey: But my favorite Rochester band was The Quitters.
	12:44pm rx scabin: I saw many good shows at the Penny Arcade in Rochester. Iggy, Eddie and the Hot Rods for example. Chesterfield Kings. Good Jazz courtesy of the Bop Shop record store. Great music town.
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, www.lostpadrerecords.com Our friend George owns the shop.
	12:45pm drr: I might try that, Frank! @clarke: it's a record store, maybe THE record store in Santa Fe. George used to put on lots of shows at Don Pedro in Brooklyn but he grew up.
	12:45pm Listener Baby: Beatles should have let Ringo sing every song, as alternate tracks. Image the boy singing For No One.
	12:45pm clarke: ah yet another place i got no bizness to be around.
	12:46pm McGroovey: The Penny Arcade was going around when I was a teenager, but it was too far away, and I was underage. I grew up closer to Syracuse.
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ringo can be ShowTuney w/ Standards & stuff - but otherwise is quite emotionally convincing.
	12:46pm clarke: now what'd he wanna go and do THAT fer??
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'With a Little Help From My Friends' exalted as McCartney genius - composing a Standard with five notes with Ringo in mind...
	12:47pm clarke: anyone who doubts Ringo's voice = just listen to Boys (and george's playful, casual solo!).
	12:47pm drr: "Now here's Ringo and His Beatle Band, with their hit tune 'In My Life'! Take it away, Ringo!"
	12:48pm Listener Baby: @drr. I like it!
	12:48pm Squints: Boys is one my fave Fabs tracks.
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Please Please Me' album had the Singles already out - but otherwise of course famously done in one day. What they were was a super hardworking Club Band. They didn't do that again.
	12:49pm clarke: Baby (puts cigar out on desktop)
	12:49pm Brendan: Waht!
	12:50pm drr: Gerhard Narholz should be as much of a household name as Yngwie J. Malmsteen.
	12:51pm Greg from ZONE 5: Saturdays are for The Queers!
	12:51pm phat in lincoln: That. Was. Awesome.
	12:52pm Myron Feld: @Squints: agreed. Total band effort with Ringo leading the way vocally and rhythmically.
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NewHampshuh's Queers @ least haven't forgotten 'Sound Affects'...
	12:52pm morphe': Thanks Michael and all !!!!
	12:52pm clarke: this show was awful fun.
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The record shows - they got Ringo - & they immediately just ...Flew.
	12:53pm drr: many stars clickied.
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: indeed, @Rev ... ingenious tribute
	12:53pm HungryFreak: This show was too short!
	12:53pm rx scabin: Great show, Michael. I have to review job applicants. A hated job.
	12:53pm Corey: Thanks Michael! Quick coupla hours! Take care all.
	12:54pm clarke: the fastest two hours in show biz. good nite.
	12:55pm Frank In Queens: Nice show Michael. Yard work beckons!
	12:56pm clarke: @frank have a grand trip!!
	12:57pm rx scabin: @Frank In Queens I'll trade jobs with you.
	12:57pm sufferwords: Queers borrowing freely from the Jams’ ‘ Boy About Town’
	12:57pm clarke: rx sawyer
	12:58pm Greg from ZONE 5: If I had a nickel for every time I got that phone call.
	12:59pm McGroovey: Foldout: Canadians have a different word for EVERYTHING!
	12:59pm Head of Person: The bartender told me she had crabs...AFTER I had sex with her. Thanks a million Bartender Joe.
	12:59pm drr: bye yall
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but honey ...she needed @ least a coat & a bundtcake... ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	1:10pm Christina Ginger: Hoboken Jack will read to the kids AND teach them about cool music. Good morning, Jack!
	1:11pm egould: I’m in for Nightlife of the Gods. Sounds good!
	1:14pm egould: Nightlife of the Gods synopsis: Eccentric scientist Hunter Hawk (Alan Mowbray) nearly blows himself up during an experiment. When he comes to, he finds that he is successful at last: he has created a ring that can turn living creatures into statues as well as bring statues to life. Oh hell yes! Count me in.
	1:15pm Christina Ginger: Handy, hops will go CRAZY. You have to reel that stuff in. I planted Heliotrope seeds one year, and they did take, but it took a while and two scatterings. I just wanted to say I was inspired by Scott Joplin in my flower choices.
	1:18pm Nodong Il: Please never stop playing the muffs. I think of my daughter every time i hear that lady and her wonderful songs. We both cried and cried when she died. You did a great program for her.

	11:01am prof.fuzz: mornin' michael.
	11:01am Handy Haversack: Michael and all the Shellegamers! I can't quite tell the scale on that photo. I'm going to just imagine the plate is about four feet across.
	11:01am clarke: hey nowwww BABY!!!
	11:01am Frank In Queens: HEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY NOW!
	11:01am prof.fuzz: handy! clarke!

	11:02am Mister Dobalina: Stuntman Mike Shelley...nice right to it.
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hola all me jolly Apple BundtCakes.
	11:02am Mister Dobalina: *ring
	11:03am Peter Horvath: Good morning Michael and everyone else! I must admit, I like the bass drum sound on this song.
	11:03am Handy Haversack: Baby! Squints! prof.fuzz! clarke! Frank! Mister D! Rev Rab! prof.fuzz, I saw Guerilla Toss last night at TV Eye. Hopefully by June 1, NYC will have replaced its store of distortion for your visit!
	11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy ...they have had to evict surfers & hippies from that damned bundtcake...
	11:04am prof.fuzz: @handy: never fear. we're bringing our own fuzz for the night.
	11:04am Squints: Hey, Handy. Again, this one sounds a little Butch Walkery in the chorus.
	11:05am drr: “Bundt” is a word invented and trademarked by Dave Dalquist, the pan's designer. The name was derived from the German word bundkuchen, meaning “a cake for a gathering.” Dalquist added the 'T' so he could trademark the name.
	11:05am McGroovey: OK. I ate my breakfast. Now I have to go reassemble a bicycle coaster brake hub.
	11:06am prof.fuzz: hey mcG! looking forward to your song demo!
	11:06am clarke: was that a balanced breakfast, McG??
	11:06am Handy Haversack: "(Keep looking shocked and move slowly toward the cake.)" McGroovey, you caught that the Beer Authority gathering is 5/13, yes?
	11:06am drr: i have to get the gasoline out of my lawnmower and see if that's the problem. I haven't had breakfast.
	11:06am Listener Baby: Oy
	11:07am Handy Haversack: With luck, the breakfast did not include any crucial parts of the bicycle coaster brake hub!
	11:07am clarke: you are a renter and u mow yer own yard, dave?
	11:08am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. Hmm, walking into a bakery right now that has mini bundt cakes.
	11:08am drr: Yes! The hourly rate offered by my (awesome) landlord makes it completely worth my time.
	11:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we talk so much about Donuts round here - I just thot we had some kinda industrial grade deep-fry happening in this photo...
	11:08am Frank In Queens: Currently enjoying my granola breakfast but I'm thinking that Tofu Rancheros would've been more appropriate.
	11:09am McGroovey: @prof.fuzz it's on my list of day's activities. (1) fix my daughter's bike, (2) bake cornbread or record song, (3) record song or bake cornbread, (4) set it for Brooklyn, possibly with a stop at the Beer place. I haven't totally settled on the order of priority, obviously.
	11:09am McGroovey: *set out
	11:10am prof.fuzz: that's a full day any way you slice it, mcG
	11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Goofing Eddy from Australia - but I would murder that cake w/ coffee this moment.
	11:10am Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! Thanks in advance for the distraction from the insanity!
	11:10am DavidL: Really appreciate that they didn’t autotune the life out of the Harry Styles tune, in addition to real band/instruments. Hope that trend continues!
	11:11am clarke: just call me The Ostrich!!!
	11:11am Handy Haversack: McGroove: Beer-place gathering is 5/13. Not that you can't stop there on your own. Just want to make sure you know that any other FMUers there today will be sheerly coincidental. You can, of course, stop off here for a drink, though Greenpoint is hardly on the way (to anywhere).
	11:11am Squints: I wanna hear a band called Tofu Rancheros.
	11:11am Frank In Queens: "Hi, I'm Phil Rizzuto for The Money Tree" www.youtube.com...
	11:12am Handy Haversack: "Don't that beat all!"
	11:12am drr: Clarke, I'm also at a stage in life where I mostly only want to be confronted with tasks I know I can complete in a given amount of time.
	11:12am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Michael & all!
	11:12am clarke: "mom says you have to get up!"
	11:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hell I wanna change my own name to Tofu Rancheros.
	11:13am Frank In Queens: Rev, sounds like you're hungry!
	11:14am drr: I also need to work on my truck and it's so nice out I have excuse not to. But I don't want to.
	11:14am clarke: we don't acknowlege curtis unless he knocks first.
	11:14am herb.nyc: hola. i'm off-line now but see that harry styles led off the show. a woman i know wrote LARGER THAN LIFE, about boy bands. fun and scholarly read. try. (woman is maria sherman, and she sez she now writes for CREAM. i think. she's also on npr at times)
	11:14am myron feld: Anyone read "O Holy Cow!: The Selected Verse of Phil Rizzuto?" It is brilliant. www.goodreads.com...
	11:15am Hughie Considine: @Clarke! Had an absolute ball catching GBV last night on your ticket. No problem getting in -- they were only checking vax stuff. Anyway, wow, all the greats got played, lots of new ones too. Pollard was hilarious with his patter, referencing everything from Duke/UNC basketball, Wham, the superiority of Jose Cuervo, and several high leg kicks. Thanks a ton, smothered in hugs...
	11:16am clarke: that is GREAT, HC!!!!! glad to hear this!
	11:16am Squints: Cream? Or Creem? Has Creem been revived?
	11:16am drr: Did he take a side in the Duke/UNC thing?
	11:17am clarke: the durham bulls did win, last night.
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I am Tofu Rancheros - you killed my father - prepare to die !!!...
	11:17am Hughie Considine: He was more testing the crowd reaction, which was of course quite anti-Duke.... or "Dook," which is how the hardcore refer to the hated Durham institution.
	11:17am McGroovey: @Handy I did not, no. That does remove one FOMO from today's list, actually.
	11:18am clarke: was the crowd all masked, Hugh? @Tofu Rancheros - i am prepared!!
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but first, may I admire your Bundtcake...
	11:19am Squints: I dunno. Duke/UNC just makes me root for a bus crash in the parking lot. No fatalities. Just muss 'em up a bit.
	11:19am clarke: yes, but that is not a bundt cake!
	11:19am Hughie Considine: I'd say about 3/4s were masked. The closer to the stage, the more masks. But plenty were unmasked, despite posted signs saying you had to wear 'em.
	11:19am Baja Joe: Good morning Michael and everyone listening and posting and doing their laundry.
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I am sorry. It is nothing personal...
	11:21am clarke: well, part of me is sorry i wasn't there. Bryan Maclean wrote Orange Skies.
	11:21am McGroovey: @Handy I'll consider stopping for a beer, if successfully I've gotten through my list.
	11:21am Squints: Singer wants to be Grace real bad here. Lather-ish vibe.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: Pussycats is a very difficult listen.
	11:21am drr: It's Bundty enough.
	11:22am clarke: agreed, Frank - wtf harry?
	11:22am Squints: How much Bundt?
	11:22am Slaboch: Wow! Fun cover of “Orange Skies”!
	11:22am phat in lincoln: Well, this is interesting. And I believe the Love connection, ahem.
	11:22am Frank In Queens: I blame "Mr. Primal Scream" for that one.
	11:22am Squints: Mach mitt der bundt.
	11:22am drr: did she say "carnivore" yet?
	11:23am clarke: javolt!!!
	11:23am phat in lincoln: Oh, it's a cover! I've hardly heard Da Capo. It just sounds like a love tune.
	11:23am Squints: Actually a pre-1974 voiced Nilsson sweet take on Sir Winston's "Mother" would have been nifty.
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Grace or EarthaKitt ?
	11:24am Squints: Lay down the bundt and advance the runner.
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Sounds good, McGroove. My list is: make jalapeño hash and huevos mexicana when K8 gets back from her run; cut hair and beard; walk dog to bookstore for books; sit outside. I think that's about it.
	11:25am clarke: the reason why i continues the debate: used to listen to trucker's radio on WWL overnite, and there was a voiceover promo by Tompall Glaser - and he pronounced it like Laser.
	11:25am Squints: These aren't Mike Colley's lyrics. Just sayin'. 8^)
	11:26am Squints: Cooley. D'oh.
	11:26am clarke: i like the "sit outside" part.
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ballad of the ShoppingMall of Laredo
	11:26am Squints: Sitting outside is the corest of my competencies.
	11:27am Frank In Queens: "Sit outside" sounds way better than "work outside", which is what I have in store today, but gotta do one to make the other happen.
	11:27am clarke: what's on tap, Frank???
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: After all, one is not always able to SitOutside.
	11:28am Frank In Queens: Yard cleanup. Sweeping, weeding, things of that nature.
	11:28am clarke: (beer ref inclusive)
	11:28am Handy Haversack: I might water something, Frank, and fill the bird feeders. That seems like enough to feel like I earned some sitting.
	11:29am Head of Person: Hello DJ Michael Shelley. I see your apple bunt cake there, I actually made it twice with great luck. Tasted better as the apples fermented in the cake. I think the best way to ice that beast is to remove the cake from the pan, pour the icing into the bunt pan, return the cake until absorbed.
	11:29am HungryFreak: I already did some "weeding" this morning.
	11:29am Frank In Queens: I got nothing to water back there at the moment and it's still a tad early to plant anything.
	11:29am clarke: sounds like some spring has done traveled up nawth!!
	11:30am Frank In Queens: clarke, just enough to work outside. Not quite warm enough to hang back there or plant yet. A couple more weeks (hopefully).
	11:31am clarke: and here we are on the edge of summer (and jazzfest at the fairgrounds, today - i shan't geaux)
	11:31am Handy Haversack: The raspberry canes and the hop vines are growing together into one chaotic mass. The Devil's Hopyard indeed! At some point I might have to try to tame it a little, but for now I'm willing to propitiate and let its power wax. We also tried planting some flower seeds for the first time. No idea if that will work. We are ... bad at things.
	11:31am Frank In Queens: I generally feel the same way about remixes.
	11:32am clarke: hey, it is always interesting to hear different mixes. just re-mixes are not necessary, 95% of the time!
	11:32am Frank In Queens: The only remix that has replaced the original mix for me is Raw Power.
	11:32am myron feld: Chile rellenos
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A place & time in which things like GoodVibrations & StrawberryFields were getting fit into two minute PopChart Singles.
	11:33am Cooh John: The near rhyme is much better.
	11:33am P-90: So is that an alternate take from the original session?
	11:33am Mister Dobalina: I would not mind some chapulines tacos.
	11:33am Head of Person: Todd Rundgren's note-for-note cover of BB (that song?) really dissected the anatomy of the studio wizardry, hard to imagine that song any different.
	11:33am Glistener MW: !! I once heard a reggae cover of it that shortened those words to “she wear”. I wonder if one of the new mixers heard that and thought SNAP “now THERE’s a rhyme!”
	11:33am egould: That is a very fictional portrayal of Jerry West.
	11:33am yippie: I thought Charlie Brown had a square head because he was wearing a paper bag on his head in you're a good a man Charlie Brown scene 1
	11:33am clarke: does that open up MovieTime, Frank??
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Do you think the Giles Martin SuperBox Beatle Remixes are as awful as, say, Geoff Emerick seemed to think?
	11:34am Squints: No deeds to do, no promises to keep.
	11:35am clarke: that's the way we like it, Squints!!!
	11:35am CalZone!: 3 brothers in the TVs. Gtrs, and bass. drummer is their childhood friend
	11:35am Squints: Dang, that pre-chorus is awesome.
	11:35am Handy Haversack: Such a Number One. Great song.
	11:36am Tim from LH: Great new record. They are actually 3 brothers and their cousin on drums.
	11:36am Squints: Only a little spring, clarke. Still Godda**ed March until Memorial Day.
	11:36am egould: Yeah #1 hit song.
	11:37am TCJimmy: Three brothers singing in TV’s. Pronounce Television - Aries like visionaries.
	11:37am Frank In Queens: No movies this week, clarke. Watched the long cut of The Killing Of A Chinese Bookie the week before. But now hockey is over, so that means more movies, although the after 7PM FMU listening will be increasing as well.
	11:38am PatrickMC: Yonkers' favorite son
	11:38am Christina Ginger: Handy, hood will go crazy. You have to reel that stuff in. I planted Heliotrope seeds one year, and they did take, but it took two scatterings of seeds. I just wanted to say that I was inspired by Scott Joplin in my flower choices.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: That Televisionaries songs is really great. The one you played last week sounded like a better version of The Strokes.
	11:38am clarke: the past few weeks (i was in the country last weekend - gorgeous!), i have been checking out a lot of films that got posted on the youtube, recently - mostly from the year 1945. i can recommend: One Dangerous Night (1945) and One Mysterious Night (1945)
	11:39am clarke: hockey is over?!?
	11:39am MaineMike: Love that band, but I thought it's pronounced Tele-vision-arys?
	11:39am Frank In Queens: Well, the Isles are over.
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Major Orbison / Jay & the Americans - something something... Go Pozos !
	11:39am McGroovey: @Handy Oh, that reminds me that I was going to put cutting my hair on today's list. I have no beard to attend to
	11:40am clarke: ah. sorry for that - but, again: you have time for movie!!
	11:40am Hughie Considine: Bucci's show is on at 3 a.m. That can definitely affect ratings.
	11:41am Handy Haversack: Ha. My dad said he knew Mary from PP&M when she was growing up in the Village. She had a collie, apparently. And he took her in and gave her a coat to wear home when her BF kicked her out nude into the street one night. According to what I remember of his story. I know Bucci! And his Tom Waits from the Hoof & Mouth!
	11:41am Hoboken Jack: I know Bucci! Hello everybody!
	11:41am Glistener MW: I’m totally adding the JULIAN band to be CALENDAR!
	11:41am Hughie Considine: This is sage advice, kiddos...
	11:42am Peter Horvath: Start a band! All of you kids!
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Fire!
	11:42am clarke: hah like kids can read!
	11:42am PatrickMC: Ooooh this smokes
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I gave nekkid MaryTravers a bundtcake. For I am Tofu Rancheros.
	11:44am Peter Horvath: Ahoy Hoboken Jack
	11:44am clarke: using my shelley show drum-themed coaster for me pom juice!!
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it seemed like a good idea @ the time...
	11:44am Christina Ginger: Hoboken Jack will read to the kids AND teach them about cool music. Good morning, Jack!
	11:45am Squints: How's the childhood friend's hair?
	11:45am clarke: too bad he's not in the Glaser Bros!!!
	11:46am phat in lincoln: @clarke lol
	11:46am prof.fuzz: damn! all the drums are in my left hand channel. I've been doing it wrong for all these years!
	11:46am PatrickMC: Thank you for the Reverend. Always a treat
	11:46am Michael Shelley: Trevor runs a barber shop called The Style Council thestylecouncilroc.com
	11:46am jg: Drums in the left for me. I guess I have my speakers hooked up backwards. Never realized till now
	11:47am Jim from Tranquility: Drums are in my left ear. Out for a 12 mile hike grooving to Mike
	11:47am clarke: there's no right way, Prof - you oughtta know dat!
	11:47am McGroovey: @prof.fuzz you only need one mic and one track if you put the drums all on the left. Or vice versa.
	11:47am drr: another left channeler here. I mean it's on the left if I'm facing the speakers, which I am.
	11:47am phat in lincoln: The strings in this Al Green got sampled by somebody and I can't recall who it is.
	11:48am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	11:48am clarke: dave: don't wanna sound spoiled/greedy - but what's up with these dang CLOUDS!!!???
	11:48am prof.fuzz: it looks like there is a substantial left-channel faction among the listeners today!
	11:49am Squints: Nekkid Mary Travers. Now I can't get out the sultrily sung verse of Take For A Ride In Your Car Car out of my head.
	11:49am clarke: one can get used to PERFECT days, ay?
	11:49am prof.fuzz: @clarke: chose the left!
	11:51am Christina Ginger: Trevor’s shop is in a beautiful building in downtown Rochester, conveniently located down the street from the wonderful Bags Unlimited and not far from the the original Nick Tahou’s location. Just think: a day made up of a haircut, record storage shopping, and a garbage plate for dinner.
	11:51am Frank In Queens: "Man, I'm flashing..."
	11:52am clarke: robert johnson is from memphis - still is.
	11:52am Johnny Four Strings: Some dude did a terrific Number One called "Mixtape". Wish I could remember who that was...
	11:52am Hughie Considine: Ah yes, the _other_Robert Johnson ... the one who looked like he was about to break into "I'm a Pepper He's a Pepper" on the LP cover...
	11:53am clarke: oooh, i need Bags Unlimited!!
	11:53am rx scabin: Good morning, Everyone.
	11:53am Squints: He's got a heckhound on his trail.
	11:53am clarke: @Hughie - those photos are OUTSTANDING!! wanna share 'em with the rest of the class?
	11:53am PatrickMC: Wow haven't heard this in about 40 years. Flashing back to WPIX-FM
	11:55am clarke: a taste of your love
	11:55am Hughie Considine: totally, clarke
	11:55am robotbrian: Is this song about tamales too
	11:57am Christina Ginger: @clarke, I love the desk lady there. She is SOOO nice.
	11:57am Frank In Queens: I just do not understand those videos...
	11:57am Hughie Considine: I'd put Bram Tchaikovsky's "Girl of My Dreams" in with the Robert Johnson among those mixtape gems from that era, the WPIX FM era, you might even say...
	11:58am clarke: i need some 45 sleeves and LP transparents
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hollies song from like 1963. Hollies were there.
	11:59am Hughie Considine: i had friends in high school named schwarz and they always emphasized the 'z' sound, not the 'tz' sound, which sounds, you know, more ethnic?
	12:00pm Head of Person: Some folks don't realize the hard part is to CREATE something NEW. Tons of folks can play Jimmi Hendrix, not so much able create never before heard or seen Art. I mean, I could rewrite Shakespeare word-for-word myself.
	12:01pm Michael Shelley: Amen!
	12:01pm clarke: @hughie: do you have a site where you can post those photos?
	12:02pm clarke: amen - a four-leter word.
	12:02pm drr: pretty good repurposing of Mohair Sam
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'People have even copied my mistakes.' - Jimi
	12:03pm clarke: -t
	12:04pm drr: Well, this is just wonderful.

	12:06pm Hughie Considine: @Patrick, 100% and Starry Eyes is top 10 of all time for me. @Clarke, I'll get them up on my Tumblr -- will have 'em up for next show.
	12:07pm Squints: Heh. I'll be happy if I can wave at playing the relevant part.
	12:07pm clarke: i bet Frank will dig Hughie's photos!! amongst others!!
	12:08pm clarke: will check out the video - AFTER the shew!!
	12:09pm clarke: mutiny!!
	12:09pm Head of Person: That is hilarious Rev, I haven't heard that quote. That is too funny. Here is the money quote for me from the Shelila Chandra link, " that most creators do not create from a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but that they create from a place of nothingness where things spontaneously arise. That is the place of the unknowable and in our lives it is very difficult to live with what is not known (yet), even though “I don’t know” is essential to true change and new growth. "
	12:11pm PatrickMC: Can't believe this is ? and the Mysterians
	12:11pm Squints: Wait. Did I hear that right? The 4 Seasons had done this? This might be another day down the rabbit hole for Squints.
	12:12pm clarke: you might need rabbit ears.
	12:13pm Kitschy Mama: Lovely program today!
	12:13pm Michael Shelley: APPLE CAKE LINK: michaelshelley.net...
	12:13pm Noah: Yo, that Smashmouth song was lit!
	12:13pm clarke: the name of the truckers radio show i admired MOST was The Charlie Douglas Road Gang on WWL-AM weeknights from 1968-198_
	12:13pm Squints: Now I wanna hear Bill Kirchen sing and play this.
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fave by ? & the Ms : 'You Captivate Me'.
	12:14pm neil in london: Enjoying listening in sunny England. Thanks for the great music. :)
	12:14pm Michael Shelley: watch it Frank!
	12:14pm McGroovey: @Hughie Girl of My Dreams is a great song! There are lots of gems on the Bram Tchaikovsky records!
	12:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The Trains' by Nashville Ramblers ...& other Children of Nuggets...
	12:15pm clarke: hmm... McG - i remember trying to find something else as good as GoMD on bram album???
	12:15pm onthetrain: Mike I just learned my wife know this song by heart ! No idea how or why. Thanks for playing down in the boondocks .
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: I'll check out those GBV pics, sure!
	12:16pm clarke: Trains is indeed a GREAT GREAT song, Rev!!
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: Trains is a bona fide #1 for sure.
	12:17pm clarke: @Frank - hughie's shots are really great!
	12:18pm Handy Haversack: Frank, Christina, any chance you might show up at Purgatory in Bushwick tonight?
	12:19pm clarke: oh--- speaking of jazzfest - this thursday at jazzfest, Leo Nocentelli is supposed to play his country album from 70's in its entirety.
	12:19pm McGroovey: @Clarke "Can't Give You Reasons" on Pressure/The Russians Are Coming is a great one that made it onto a lot of my mixtapes.
	12:19pm clarke: thnx McG - will check 'em.
	12:21pm drr: I had Jazz Fest tickets yesterday and couldn't get myself out of the office. One of my favorite artists played too. I just can't face the crowds.
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, we're going away next week, so we're going to lay pretty low until then to make sure we don't get sick. But we'll be back in time for the Mama Tried gig.
	12:22pm Listener Baby: Baby. What is status of Yolks?
	12:22pm clarke: i'm witcha dave! but, yesterday was so nice it was a sin to not go!! (that said, my neighbors returned from fairgrounds looking like lobsters)
	12:23pm egould: Yolks #1 hit song.
	12:23pm clarke: and oh---- BABY!! i forgot to say that i listened to the punk's radio show last week - outstanding!!
	12:23pm rx scabin: The number is 1.
	12:23pm drr: i got a lot done at the office, because of the guilt/FOMO, I guess.
	12:24pm Head of Person: creativity in aeronautic plane design. https://c.tenor.com/G7RCgbI7ypMAAAAM/airplane-dancing.gif
	12:24pm clarke: i've been going thru a ricky neilson phase - for 45 years!
	12:24pm Listener Baby: So cool Clarke. What a fine fellow you are. I will let her know.
	12:25pm clarke: @BABY - next time i will check in on her chat!!
	12:25pm drr: Last time I went to Jazz Fest I saw David Byrne...on a jumbotron. Had a great view of a lady throwing up and getting removed from the crowd though.
	12:25pm myron feld: Clarke, drr and any other New Orleans residents or visitors: I strongly recommend you see Lulu & The Broadsides in the next couple weeks: luluandthebroadsides.com... No, I'm not in the band. But they are GOOD.
	12:26pm HungryFreak: Great, now Michael's goosing the market for those Rick Nelson 45s I keep scoring for $1.
	12:26pm Michael Shelley: Baby - Yolks still functioning - but at a slow pace
	12:26pm clarke: you regaled us with that story, dave. at mandina's! ha ha.
	12:27pm clarke: thnx Myron - under advisement. ; ]
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: BABY - please post the link & time for your kid's radio show!
	12:27pm drr: clarke: I realized that as soon as I typed it. But not everybody is as lucky as you when it comes to auditing my oratory.
	12:28pm Listener Baby: She likes Emo a little too much, but she’s got very good taste besides that. She would love a note on the chat board!
	12:28pm clarke: i LOVE your stories, David!!!! more more more..
	12:28pm drr: Myron: that's a pretty fancy band right there.
	12:29pm clarke: i like some early emo - it sure did jump that shark - HARD!
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Sounds good, Frank! Hope you have a great trip! Anyone else local looking for a fun time tonight, see my profile for details on the benefit for National Network of Abortion Funds that K8's put together tonight. Four bands! All luminaries of the NYC feminist punk and postpunk scene; three comedians; prizes; raffles! Tonight in Bushwick, BK!
	12:30pm clarke: @Baby - another one of her colleagues had no idea carole king was a songwriter - bless her.
	12:31pm Daybreaks Thinking Thoughts 💭: As long as the piece of paper is coated with chlorophyll and not chloroform I think that’s fine!
	12:31pm Listener Baby: WZLY.org 1:00 pm Fridays. East Coast Time. She calls it Teen Movie Dance Party.
	12:32pm Listener Baby: @Clarke. Sheesh. Oh well.
	12:33pm drr: I've always found people/bands from Buffalo to be extra friendly and fun; I think it's cause they live in snow caves most of the year.
	12:33pm McGroovey: I lived in Rochester. Great music scene! I have an extensive Rochester music collection.
	12:34pm Listener Baby: @Baby. So Yolks not broken? Got it.
	12:34pm Daybreaks Thinking Thoughts 💭: Handy! You know that Daybreak is bringing the posse. I actually got one of my friends to agree to come over and sleep at the house to take an eye on the kiddos and Luna the wonder pup! so we will be heading your way from Northern New Jersey eye round two or 2:30 PM. It’s gonna be a fantastic night tonight even when the sun goes down. it’s gonna be in the upper 50s with really little to no wind!
	12:35pm clarke: @BABY - Teen Movie Dance Party - luv it!!
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: Looking forward to the Daybreak Gang, pal!
	12:36pm clarke: @Frank - where are ya'll going in NM??
	12:36pm ?: HH - not sure if I will make .. have a long-standing appointment uptown ... is there and endtime?ish?
	12:37pm Listener Baby: Damn GT is a great plYer
	12:37pm morphe': HH - not sure if I will make .. have a long-standing appointment uptown ... is there and endtime?ish?
	12:37pm Mister Dobalina: Muff it up, baby!!
	12:38pm clarke: so Eddy in Australia can hear it!!!
	12:38pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, Mostly in and around Santa Fe as we're going for a friend's wedding. But we'll be hitting up some other places yet. The itinerary will be confirmed sometime this week.
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: I would imagine over by 12, morph? About to get deep in the cooking, so I'll say thanks now, MS! Great stuff today! Very glad to have been here! Later on, Number Ones!
	12:39pm clarke: i have not spent a ton of time around them parts, but have a friend with a 'dude'ish ranch' not far from there.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: .Bon Apetit Chef Haversack !
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: See ya later on Handy.
	12:40pm drr: Frank, will you be seeing George C? He was here last week; we went record shopping which seemed faintly ridiculous, but that's what we did.
	12:40pm McGroovey: Syracuse had a good scene, also, but it was different from different. Syracuse music was/is more roots-oriented: blues-rock, countryish, jazz. There's a great Syracuse roots-rock band whose name slips my mind, similar to Los Lobos, I suppose. In the seventies and early eighties, Syracuse had a good pop-rock thing going, of which the last band standing is The Flashcubes/Screen Test. But Rochester has always had lots of great garage rock, and also lots of weird noisy "experimental" music of the sort that certain noise-loving WFMU people love
	12:40pm clarke: later handy - have good times- always
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: Hey @Clarke and all, a couple of pics from last night's GBV show in Carrboro and video too. (Some of them kept posting horizontal...how do you fix that, i wonder?) www.tumblr.com...
	12:41pm Listener Baby: So glad he didn’t
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: @drr, I will indeed be seeing George. It'll be my first time at Lost Padre too. Very much looking forward to that!
	12:42pm dave wuz here: ringo was the moe tucker of the beatles
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: Great shots, Hughie
	12:42pm clarke: thanks Hughie!! (for rubbing it in, haha!!)!!
	12:43pm drr: Yeah, every time I see his new arrival flips, I want to go to Lost Padre too.
	12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh interesting! Such a standard exposition of the 'Lennon Darkness'... off the wonderfully glum Beatles For Sale...
	12:43pm clarke: what is Lost Padre, ya'll?
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: @drr, I've had him pull stuff out and ship them to me on a few occasions. Got a great original pressing of Marquee Moon that way!
	12:44pm McGroovey: But my favorite Rochester band was The Quitters.
	12:44pm rx scabin: I saw many good shows at the Penny Arcade in Rochester. Iggy, Eddie and the Hot Rods for example. Chesterfield Kings. Good Jazz courtesy of the Bop Shop record store. Great music town.
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, www.lostpadrerecords.com Our friend George owns the shop.
	12:45pm drr: I might try that, Frank! @clarke: it's a record store, maybe THE record store in Santa Fe. George used to put on lots of shows at Don Pedro in Brooklyn but he grew up.
	12:45pm Listener Baby: Beatles should have let Ringo sing every song, as alternate tracks. Image the boy singing For No One.
	12:45pm clarke: ah yet another place i got no bizness to be around.
	12:46pm McGroovey: The Penny Arcade was going around when I was a teenager, but it was too far away, and I was underage. I grew up closer to Syracuse.
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ringo can be ShowTuney w/ Standards & stuff - but otherwise is quite emotionally convincing.
	12:46pm clarke: now what'd he wanna go and do THAT fer??
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'With a Little Help From My Friends' exalted as McCartney genius - composing a Standard with five notes with Ringo in mind...
	12:47pm clarke: anyone who doubts Ringo's voice = just listen to Boys (and george's playful, casual solo!).
	12:47pm drr: "Now here's Ringo and His Beatle Band, with their hit tune 'In My Life'! Take it away, Ringo!"
	12:48pm Listener Baby: @drr. I like it!
	12:48pm Squints: Boys is one my fave Fabs tracks.
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Please Please Me' album had the Singles already out - but otherwise of course famously done in one day. What they were was a super hardworking Club Band. They didn't do that again.
	12:49pm clarke: Baby (puts cigar out on desktop)
	12:49pm Brendan: Waht!
	12:50pm drr: Gerhard Narholz should be as much of a household name as Yngwie J. Malmsteen.
	12:51pm Greg from ZONE 5: Saturdays are for The Queers!
	12:51pm phat in lincoln: That. Was. Awesome.
	12:52pm Myron Feld: @Squints: agreed. Total band effort with Ringo leading the way vocally and rhythmically.
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NewHampshuh's Queers @ least haven't forgotten 'Sound Affects'...
	12:52pm morphe': Thanks Michael and all !!!!
	12:52pm clarke: this show was awful fun.
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The record shows - they got Ringo - & they immediately just ...Flew.
	12:53pm drr: many stars clickied.
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: indeed, @Rev ... ingenious tribute
	12:53pm HungryFreak: This show was too short!
	12:53pm rx scabin: Great show, Michael. I have to review job applicants. A hated job.
	12:53pm Corey: Thanks Michael! Quick coupla hours! Take care all.
	12:54pm clarke: the fastest two hours in show biz. good nite.
	12:55pm Frank In Queens: Nice show Michael. Yard work beckons!
	12:56pm clarke: @frank have a grand trip!!
	12:57pm rx scabin: @Frank In Queens I'll trade jobs with you.
	12:57pm sufferwords: Queers borrowing freely from the Jams’ ‘ Boy About Town’
	12:57pm clarke: rx sawyer
	12:58pm Greg from ZONE 5: If I had a nickel for every time I got that phone call.
	12:59pm McGroovey: Foldout: Canadians have a different word for EVERYTHING!
	12:59pm Head of Person: The bartender told me she had crabs...AFTER I had sex with her. Thanks a million Bartender Joe.
	12:59pm drr: bye yall
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but honey ...she needed @ least a coat & a bundtcake... ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	1:10pm Christina Ginger: Hoboken Jack will read to the kids AND teach them about cool music. Good morning, Jack!
	1:11pm egould: I’m in for Nightlife of the Gods. Sounds good!
	1:14pm egould: Nightlife of the Gods synopsis: Eccentric scientist Hunter Hawk (Alan Mowbray) nearly blows himself up during an experiment. When he comes to, he finds that he is successful at last: he has created a ring that can turn living creatures into statues as well as bring statues to life. Oh hell yes! Count me in.
	1:15pm Christina Ginger: Handy, hops will go CRAZY. You have to reel that stuff in. I planted Heliotrope seeds one year, and they did take, but it took a while and two scatterings. I just wanted to say I was inspired by Scott Joplin in my flower choices.
	1:18pm Nodong Il: Please never stop playing the muffs. I think of my daughter every time i hear that lady and her wonderful songs. We both cried and cried when she died. You did a great program for her.
