	11:15am Handy Haversack: Hey, Michael and all. It's cleaning day. I'm wearing a cat like a stole. Hey now.
	11:15am Squints: I'm sure it's warm now because our Sunday morning pickup futbol group moved indoors two Sundays ago. (We usually try to bitter-end it with the weather but the space is use-it-or-lose-it and we don't want to get bounced.) Main Street Sports Bar & Grille in Plymouth last night had its big street-facing windows wide open.
	11:16am Handy Haversack: Squints, I just spent an hour raking leaves in a T-shirt and dumping sweat. 2012 end of days!

	11:18am clarke: btw, Squints: keep an eye out for The Value Leaders in yer area - new spamp led band
	11:19am Myron Feld: I just mowed and mulched in oddly warm SW CT.
	11:19am clarke: get handy to come help, Myron!
	11:20am Handy Haversack: K8 reports having no idea there was a Nina Simone version of that and being extremely excited. clarke, you'd think living in Brooklyn would spare me this nonsense.
	11:20am clarke: HH - was gonig to say i was surprised you had a yard to rake!!
	11:21am happymaan: Hey ya @Handy, I'm off to Cabbagetown
	11:21am clarke: winnah spinnah!!
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Enjoy, happymaan! I get the feeling it's changed a lot since I was last there!
	11:22am Frank In Queens: @Handy, there's no trees on the section of the street I live on, but I still have to clean up every fall as if there is. They blown down to me from down the road!
	11:22am myron feld: @Handy: clarke says you'll come up here to help mow and mulch. What's your ETA?
	11:22am Squints: clarke, yep. I already follow Johnny on FB so I'm alert if anything reasonably nearby comes up.
	11:22am Frank In Queens: is? are? where's my tea?
	11:23am clarke: their new album (cd) is out, now: Remo Is A Dreamer - good stuff!!
	11:23am Handy Haversack: Huge oak one yard over here. Two contractor bags, and I think that was maybe a third of the load it has to drop. myron, set a jar of whisky out, and I should be able to find you by dead reckoning!
	11:23am Peter Horvath: Ahoy folks. Happy Saturday.
	11:24am McGroovey: OK. I have a copy of the It's So Aeroplane record heading to me from France now.
	11:24am clarke: cross your teas, Frank!!
	11:24am Frank In Queens: @McGroovey, that's where my copy came from too
	11:25am phat in lincoln: Good morning all. Glad I made it! I've been working!
	11:26am McGroovey: I can't go outside. I have to do chores. I have to wash sheets and vacuum and all that stuff before my sister-in-law arrives.
	11:26am drr: oh Colin HARE. I kept wondering why that didn't sound much like Men At Work.
	11:26am clarke: McG: went to clancy's last nite - incredible!! drum fish best ever!!
	11:26am Handy Haversack: I am about to start in on all that, too, McGroove. Though I don't know that your sister-in-law is on her way over here as well.
	11:26am phat in lincoln: It's like they recorded the instruments over an AM radio.
	11:27am Michael Shelley: HAPPYMAN - 1st Juniper lp out in Japan on pink vinyl! lazyperfection.jp...
	11:27am clarke: mornin' Dave - nice rainy morn.
	11:28am phat in lincoln: Also, I need a coal man to tell my troubles to.
	11:29am clarke: cool on the pink vinyls!!! niiiiice!
	11:29am McGroovey: @phat in lincoln You say that like it's a bad thing. @Clarke Mmmmmm @Handy It would a great day for a paddle. I'll warn you if I hear of sister-in-law heading your way. I have no inside info on your own sister-in-law, if you have one.
	11:29am drr: Yeah, rain just started here. Margaret Orr says we need it.
	11:29am Peter Horvath: Didn’t Ronnie Burns do a few Bee Gees numbers?
	11:29am Squints: Going to see Charley Crockett in two weeks. wooHOO.
	11:30am Frank In Queens: Man, another new Charley Crockett album. Not complaining! Just hard to keep up.
	11:30am clarke: what does nash roberts say??
	11:30am Squints: "But your sister-in-law, she'll be calling, if she's not already knockin' on the door."
	11:31am SSS: ColeMan, Clown, whatever gets you through the night
	11:32am clarke: is there a Wipper lurkin'????????
	11:32am Frank In Queens: Wow, he's playing next week at Webster Hall. I had no idea! Not sure if we can make that night though...
	11:33am wind: ♥️♥️♥️
	11:33am Frank In Queens: MYRON!
	11:33am drr: nash roberts probably says a hurricane is on its way.
	11:33am wind: Frank in Queens! Thank you for that info🙏🏽
	11:33am phat in lincoln: @McGroovey oh, no, I'm a fan of AM radio.
	11:33am clarke: oh shit!! myron!
	11:34am clarke: i will testify that Myron's Drop-In's are GREAT!!
	11:35am Frank In Queens: Yes, highly recommended.
	11:35am clarke: i will have to triple-screen to catch myron's show, tho - world series plus lsu/bama at same time!
	11:35am the serpent: Ween was amazing! What a show
	11:35am myron feld: Thank you very much, clarke and FIQ! And thank you, Michael Shelley, for plugging the program!
	11:35am the serpent: The audience is like dead heads mixed with juggalos
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Aaaaaaand the vacuum cleaner is broken. Brooklyn Steel is maybe my least favorite place to see a show, after Terminal 5.
	11:36am phat in lincoln: The last time I saw Ween the crowd were so goddamn fucked up and annoying.
	11:37am clarke: vacuum cleaner broken - time for a drink!
	11:37am Frank In Queens: Man, Terminal 5 is the PITS! Gave me a good excuse to skip the GBV show there next month.
	11:37am the serpent: Well yes they are wasted. I think the seats at Beacon kept them in check
	11:37am clarke: wow. that's sayin' somethin'!
	11:37am HungryFreak: Did Ween do any cover songs? I think they are my favorite cover band, though their catalog is huge, because they might play literally ANY song at any point.
	11:38am Michael Shelley: HANDY - but the burritos...
	11:39am Montmaster J: The National Gallery is definitely worth it...greatest hits of art history.
	11:39am Squints: This is an awesomely relaxed take on this.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: @Squints, yeah I'm totally digging it.
	11:39am clarke: goodness gracious!!
	11:40am rx scabin: rx scabin vs. the leaves. Will be raking a big pile of leaves which will be blown back by high winds tonight. I am leaf Sysiphus.
	11:41am Christina Ginger: You should go eat at Mildred’s in London. They have a few locations, all conveniently located. The food is delicious.
	11:41am clarke: although i am pulling for RX - the Leaves were a pretty good outfit
	11:41am clarke: Miss Ginger!!! 'lo!!
	11:42am McGroovey: Well, now I feel like turning off the radio and listening to Fountains of Wayne all afternoon. But I shan't do that.
	11:42am Christina Ginger: ‘Ello Clarke! Hope things are going well.
	11:43am myron feld: Postman's Park in London has this: en.wikipedia.org... It's fascinating. A nice little park, and very near the Museum of London.
	11:43am clarke: had a tough tuesday - but recovering okay!
	11:43am ?: Spotify fed me Warren Zevon’s version of “A Certain Girl” just this morning.
	11:45am Christina Ginger: Glad to hear you’re doing better.
	11:45am McGroovey: I've been at Terminal 5 once, to see X. I thought it was an OK place. I couldn't figure out why I had to go up to the second floor to enter, when the club is on the first floor. But I survived that problem.
	11:45am phat in lincoln: @clarke are you sick?
	11:46am McGroovey: @Handy my vacuum is working if you want to borrow it. "Sorry I couldn't vacuum. Handy needed to borrow it."
	11:46am clarke: tuesday sucked: my own mistake caused me to lose all the guitar-tracks i had done the previous month - then went for a walk to clear my head to find my car had been (slightly) side-swiped.
	11:47am clarke: RX - was sick losing all that work. i can re-create it, tho.
	11:49am Michael Shelley: I once pushed the wrong button & lost a whole Bones Howe interview....
	11:49am Christina Ginger: Days like that are what I call Morton Salt Can Days.
	11:49am clarke: yeah, great care should be taken when tranferring files!!!!
	11:50am McGroovey: @clarke Just tell yourself "whelp, I'll do it better the second time anyway." But yeah, the car is a different cannibal I mean animal. (Autocorrect wanted me to write animal, so I didn't erase it.)
	11:50am Michael Shelley: who is the drummer on this Ikettes track? Yikes!
	11:51am McGroovey: I kinda like the drums on this, actually.
	11:51am clarke: salt-can fo' sho'!!! not to rub it in MS: there is a fantastic Bones Howe in depth interview by andrew sandoval on Come To The Sunshine
	11:52am Nunzio: Guineas rejoice!
	11:52am gf2002: Any day with Louis Prima is a good day
	11:52am clarke: well, the car is only scratch down the side and one small dent - but, tis the first thing to happen to a 2009 vehicle!
	11:52am myron feld: "Whatsa matta, Sam, you can't play in Italian?" The best.
	11:52am drr: There's another Bones Howe interview where he goes over the stage plots for recording Tom Waits. Good luck finding it from that scrap of memory.
	11:53am Frank In Queens: @clarke, well it was a good run while it lasted. That sucks though.
	11:54am nycmusicnerd: Nick Lowe is playing some dates at Nell's starting November 17. And Curtis Stigers has some upcoming dates in Ireland. Don't know if a UK/Ireland trip would be feasible, but it's worth a shot if you're over there.
	11:54am clarke: yeah - and McG is right about those tracks. it's a shame because i borrowed an SG and a strat and those sounds are gone.
	11:54am myron feld: The Speedies! Old pals. Really fun band.
	11:54am clarke: i can borrow those guitars again, tho. after i return from cali (where i am headed for a month)
	11:55am Michael Shelley: Going to one of the Nick shows - our excellent luck!
	11:55am Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU
	11:55am Peter: The Explorer's Club last night at TV Eye. These guys can sing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkoMi0B8kv4
	11:56am nycmusicnerd: Cool! I just heard that NL will be playing with Elvis Costello in Iceland this upcoming May.
	11:56am clarke: oh how was Exploerers show??
	11:57am myron feld: @Peter: I was there at EC last night. I'm pretty sure those vocals were, um, augmented.
	11:58am Frank In Queens: Man, the Troggs are just beating the hell out of that one string.
	11:58am McGroovey: Well, I don't know that it's true that the guitar tracks will be better the second time, but, you know, when you recorded them, you said to yourself "was that good enough? I could do it better... Hmm... No, I guess that was probably OK... I should go move the car....". So, now you're going to do that retake...
	11:58am ?: anybody going to se Billy Bremner (of Rockpile/Nick Lowe) in Drew's living room in Ringwood NJ next Sunday?
	11:59am phat in lincoln: The letter U and the numeral 2
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @? I'm not going to the Jersey show, but I will 100% be at the matinee at TV Eye on Saturday.
	11:59am clarke: i have had RL Burnside's shine - it was really smooth!!
	11:59am Michael Shelley: maybe...
	12:00pm phat in lincoln: Also, moonshine is BRUTAL.
	12:00pm common: had moonshine from a still in the woods in wv. never felt that drunk since
	12:00pm phat in lincoln: @clarke oh shit.
	12:01pm gf2002: Real 'shine from a Mason jar...yep. Interesting stuff.
	12:01pm clarke: sidenote: Bremner's back-up band in japan was The Value Leaders.
	12:01pm Peter: @myron yeah - I wondered about that.. a couple times I looked up .and thought. where is that coming from.. though to me it was more instruments than vocals.
	12:01pm myron feld: A friend who played minor league ball in Georgia and NC told me about his moonshine experience. He described it exactly as sung in White Lightning, and I'm pretty sure he's never heard that song.
	12:02pm Miss Georgia Peach: Me n my mom found London boring EXCEPT for the Victoria and Albert Museum which is incredible and unique
	12:02pm purpleknif: Had moonshine in Tennessee several years ago. It's not for kids.
	12:02pm clarke: that's my favorite kind of burger!!
	12:02pm The Butterman: At Merlfest in N.C., friend of friend opened up a mason jar of it and no shit, two guys in only overalls came out of nowhere to join our crew md sample the goods. They sipped. They hooted, hollered, and spit n cussed,” whewwwwww! It’ll make ya
	12:03pm myron feld: @Peter: instrumentation as well (keys/horns/percussion), but if you watched the bass player when he "sang," he barely opened his mouth.
	12:03pm Crazy_Athens: Hi from Greece!
	12:03pm carrots: best damn burger in the county!
	12:03pm SecretSquirrel: Nice version of “White Lightning” but I missed the cork-popping sound effect
	12:04pm nycmusicnerd: Frank & ?: I was tempted to go to TV Eye, but that's a real schlep for me.
	12:04pm scoober: Lived in Harrisonburg, VA for three years. AWESOME basement rock scene and MACRock every spring ... and of course... BUCK GOOTER!
	12:05pm drr: As a or the Tennessean in this conversation, I'm sad to say I don't think I've ever tasted any moonshine.
	12:05pm Pedro in Arlington: I can attest to the accolades about Virginia. The current governor is an ambitious oaf in a fleece vest but the food and beaches are good.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @nycnerd, I get it. Not the easiest place to get there for some folks. I'm pretty close by, so no sweat for me. And it'll be another of those weekends there where I might as well just sleep there since I'll be there 3 days in a row for various shows
	12:05pm drr: clarke: speaking of Tennessee, there's a clash of the titans at 3:30.
	12:06pm clarke: token tennessean, yer team is playing #1 Georgia this afternoon. huge war.
	12:06pm Handy Haversack: Well, sweeping is a lot harder than vacuuming, but the cats are less freaked out. Buying a new vacuum was really not in the budget, consarnit. Yeah, moonshine is godawful. I have had real backwoods moonshine, and it's one of the worst experiences of my life. The "moonshine" made by boutique distillers is unaged whiskey, which, well, aging smooths it out, but it's not like it was made in a holler and filtered through underwear.
	12:06pm clarke: jinx.
	12:06pm ledzeppelinsucks: I went to the Monarch sanctuary in Pacific Grove yesterday. It was peaceful and fascinating.
	12:07pm nycmusicnerd: Frank: Lucky you. As standing-only mosh pits go it's not a bad venue. I was there once. I was in pain afterwards, but it was worth it. :)
	12:07pm clarke: well, some moonshine is really smooth. i got a funny RL Burnside moonshine story, if ya want??
	12:07pm Christina Ginger: Never had moonshine, but my uncle used to harass my aunt by doing little shots of this grappa that was the Italian equivalent of paint thinner / moonshine. I tried it once. It was INTENSE.
	12:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ledzep, that sounds wonderful. It's so thrilling when they open their wings and the gray stuff on the trees is suddenly orange.
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: yeah - in Italy a restaurateur once brought me some of his "special" home made grappa.... oh dear!
	12:09pm Cat: Yeah, we are funky in Charlottesville. And, Franklin County is/was the moonshine capital of VA. It is wicked, indeed, but doesn't taste all that different, imo, than some of the youngish whiskey being made by the legit distilleries popping up. Love that McKenzie tune, Michael.
	12:09pm Peter: @myron oh definitley the bass singer - i questioned like with Robbie Robertson in "The Last Waltz", if his mic was even on.
	12:09pm McGroovey: Oh, now I feel like turning off the radio and listening to my Bram Tchaikovsky records. There aren't as many of them as Fountains of Wayne records.
	12:10pm Squints: When you don't bother with the "favorite" button because DUH. What a great record.
	12:10pm Peter: @myron - I still felt a little bad though. There weren't 25 people at the show. That's not even going to pay for gas.
	12:11pm phat in lincoln: Thank you for this Bram Tchaikovsky. Good lord this has it all. Those Rhino power pop compilations were a gift.
	12:11pm gf2002: Grappa...had some in the Finger Lakes back in April. As Nicholson said in Easy Rider, 'nick, nick, nick...'. Wow.
	12:12pm McGroovey: @Handy I would try to fix it. I succeed about 50% of the time when I try to fix a household appliance. That's better that 0%.
	12:12pm myron feld: @Peter: yeah, we felt really bad, too. We've seen them several times over the years and it's never been a big crowd, but that was sad. But -- they soldiered on, as good bands do.
	12:13pm phat in lincoln: The two times I had moonshine it reminded me of African palm wine, of all things, I'm taste. But it was much more, shall we say, violent.
	12:13pm Squints: McG, the other 50% of the time, does hilarity ensue?
	12:13pm clarke: so, i toured with RL Burnside a few times to japan. when we were preparing to leave, the first tour, RL poured out some plastic bottles of Maalox and put his shine in the bottles to take on the flight and overseas. but, when we got over there, his stomach didn't like the food we were getting, so he kept asking me to find him some Maalox. they don't have Maalox in japan!!
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good Day FMUvianz ! ~
	12:14pm gf2002: Did Bruce and Terry record this on a wax cylinder at Columbia? Great guitar solo though
	12:14pm clarke: rev!!
	12:14pm Listener Baby: Better late than never?
	12:15pm Peter: @myron that's my thought exactly. People who aren't doing this to get rich. but love the music. At same time, I felt a bit of my hipster cred was quasi-validated as I own a copy of "The Paragons Meet the Jesters" - which was on the wall - though I only have it on CD, which maybe is worse than not owning it.
	12:15pm clarke: Baby. BABY!!!!!
	12:15pm Squints: I like this well enough. But the PreFabs' was a little more, er, kinetic.
	12:15pm Handy Haversack: Grappa, aguardiente -- awful stuff. McGroove, I have no idea how to even try to fix it, and all the fix-it places in Brooklyn have closed.
	12:15pm johnk77: in ohio in the late 1960s shine came in mason jars from kentucky tasted like harsh vodka + hydrazine;>
	12:16pm Squints: The Farmer Boys number is blowed up real, real good for me. Daggone, man.
	12:16pm gf2002: It's not shine without the mason jar
	12:17pm SecretSquirrel: Saw Bram Tchaikovsky open for The Cars in Buffalo. Power Pop Heaven.
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: Baby - you clothed?
	12:19pm clarke: ha ha h aha
	12:22pm Moammar: Moonshine: Best consumed after some peaches have marinated in it. The charm is mainly the illegality. Poteen, the Irish potato version, made me think I might go blind, or perhaps just die.
	12:22pm clarke: SKILL!!!
	12:23pm Squints: Moammar, I would be quite happy with those peaches.
	12:23pm ledzeppelinsucks: JFA does brilliant short songs.
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: Maybe "Are You Straight or Are You Blind" is actually about poteen.
	12:25pm Squints: Hit after hit after hit.
	12:26pm drr: Don't tell me moonshine is like grappa because I love grappa. In small doses.
	12:26pm dave wuz here: i've had amazing clean tasty shine made by a friends grandaddy. it aint all nasty. had plenty of that too.
	12:26pm Mike Sin: Really enjoying the show on this “summer” day!
	12:27pm drr: I had some homemade whisky made by a pro distiller/brewer; that was great too. It was distilled homemade beer.
	12:27pm Christina Ginger: Time to wear the cutoffs and head to the beach, Mike!
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: Cutoffs? He's rockin' his mankini!
	12:28pm Hubig Pie: On the subject of firewater-Raki will curl your toes. Clear, un-aged brandy sorta like grappa that I abused while stationed at Iraklion AB Crete
	12:28pm andy fuchs: somebody mention me ?? Hi Mikey :)
	12:28pm clarke: @Frank: MovieTime????
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, there's no chance Mike Sin has a shirt on right now, right?
	12:29pm Mailman Tom: My friend's father brought home some moonshine from North Carolina back in the 1970s. Tasted liked a combination of tequila and vodka!
	12:30pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, nothing since our chat on Wed, unless you count the random screening of Drugstore Cowboy on THIS TV, which is one of those OTA retro stations.
	12:30pm Listener Baby: Baby. That depends.
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DJ GeorgyGirl spotlighted the new Revolver mixes if you didn't know : wfmu.org...
	12:31pm Crazy_Athens: Green eggs and ham
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: I never liked ham. Especially cold cut ham.
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: I might go get our first flat-screen TV today, if we have time. The CRT TV has acquired in incredibly loud hum.
	12:31pm drr: Counterpoint: ham is very good.
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: And eggs? Forget it! Quit them in 8th grade after an occurrence that is too gross to tell.
	12:32pm drr: "demolished turnip greens"?
	12:32pm Frank In Queens: Turnip greens I can get down with.
	12:32pm clarke: this week, i watched both versions of Nightmare Alley and each is great in its own way. the new (del toro) one stays closer to the novel, which makes it seem long. tyrone power is hard to beat, but gotta say both are great.
	12:32pm Christina Ginger: I feel like Canadian bacon is an amalgamation of ham and bacon. Eggs are so gross. Sorry.
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wake Up & eatcher fried Swine & stop complainin'.
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: Pigs are such cool animals. Ham, bacon, etc. just depress me.
	12:33pm Marne: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wUsr1GUZ3oU
	12:33pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, nice! Love the original version. Haven't seen the GDT version yet.
	12:33pm Christina Ginger: I was pleasantly surprised by the new version, Clarke. Saw it in the theatre with a friend when it came out, after having seen the original.
	12:34pm johnk77: some cheap flatscreen tvs have roku box inside
	12:34pm drr: like "morose".
	12:34pm Christina Ginger: BTW, I don’t really recommend GDT ‘s cabinet of curiosities that is on Netflix. Meh.
	12:34pm wind: So interesting
	12:34pm KWilde: Sophomore - wise fool
	12:34pm clarke: the look of the re-make is really, really well done! and well-acted, too.
	12:35pm Mailman Tom: Hershel Walker
	12:35pm Officer Pupp: Re Moron: it was specifically selected to NOT have negative connotations amongst the general public. Guess it doesn’t take long, eh?
	12:35pm Crazy_Athens: MorÓs on Greek means crazy.
	12:35pm drr: johnk77: yeah, mine does, and it thinks it's overheating and puts up a warning every ten minutes. Can't be fixed.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: johnk77, I want it as dumb as possible. Not going to connect it to the internet or cable. I just want to be able to pick up broadcast signals and stick a thumb drive in it. And maybe hook it up to the stereo and a DVD player.
	12:36pm P-90: Ahh, the good ol’ Benet Scale…
	12:36pm drr: the R word used to be the euphemism.
	12:37pm Frank In Queens: Hey now!
	12:37pm myron feld: Yes, the LA Kings!
	12:37pm clarke: they's playin' yer song frank
	12:38pm myron feld: vs the Islanders, if I remember correctly
	12:38pm Frank In Queens: Michael, that may seem quaint to you, but let me tell you, it gets friggin' old real quick when you hear it game in and game out!
	12:38pm clarke: ha ha ha ha.
	12:39pm P-90: @Officer Pupp: sure! because any term coined to describe “someone of low intelligence” is gonna get quickly co-opted into pejorative slang, guaranteed
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: I'd never heard it (or since) and I'm still laughing
	12:39pm PaulRobeson1922: When they tested the U.S army on that scale it was somthing like 60%?? Of the army came back feeble minded. The scale and testing was Arbitrary and deeply flawed- and to make a long story short that eugenical thinking and testing resulted in Buck V. Bell 1927- when Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote the infamous “… Three generations of imbeciles is enough”
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: Hockey has halves?
	12:39pm clarke: the Freebird of NHL!!
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: Shout out to whoever did it first
	12:40pm Alvy Singer: @FIQ--My Rangers are in a funk. Your Islanders are playing decent hockey, and the Bruins a really good.
	12:40pm Frank In Queens: I used to have tix next to a dude who could very well be classified as a moron, who would make the same jokes every game. Like when a player fell, he say "oops, ice is slippery!". And so on and so forth. Anyway, I used to hear "how much time is left?" at every game for two years straight until my brother and I finally moved our seats!
	12:40pm Hubig Pie: Hockey Monkey is my favorite hockey song
	12:40pm myron feld: Another fun hockey audience participation thing: at University of Wisconsin games, whenever someone comes out of the penalty box and the sides now have the same number of skaters, the announcer says "the teams are at equal strength" and the kids shout "That's debatable!"
	12:41pm johnk77: i suggest a simple antenna for over the air i just bought a 24 inch roku/westingouse check philips, rca, tcl
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: BLATANT PLUG: www.google.com...
	12:41pm Bob: Sounds great today
	12:42pm Moammar: Baldemar Huerta, my man! Pride of the Valley.
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: @Alvy, yeah, a rough stretch for the Rags. Igor will pull them through though, I'm sure. My Isles on the other hand....!
	12:42pm PaulRobeson1922: Also! Good morninggggg
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: As soon as Michael signs off, I'll be switching to the game vs. Detroit.
	12:43pm drr: Saw Eugene Levy do a brief Freddy Fender impression and I died.
	12:43pm myron feld: @FIQ: did your former row-mate use "Hey ref, does your wife know you're screwing us?"
	12:43pm Tim from LH: @?- I’ll be at Drew’s on Sunday for Bremner but how will I know you? You’re an enigma.
	12:43pm PaulRobeson1922: Here is a good book on Morons in America www.penguinrandomhouse.com...
	12:43pm clarke: and i will be tuning into the TN/Ga war.
	12:44pm Eli: Three periods in Hockey. No halves.
	12:44pm drr: Three halves.
	12:44pm clarke: it didn't hit me until later this week, that after the passing of JLL - there are NO more REAL legends left.
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: @myron, no that would be too clever for this dolt.
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: I assume each of the three halves is longer than two minutes?
	12:45pm JG: Ray Stevens' version of this is also good
	12:45pm CalZone!: I played this JLL on my show a cpl weeks ago. I just love the way he plays with the lyrics and the phrasing!
	12:46pm johnk77: great work selecter just figured out the composer of girl of my dreams is ronnie thomas of heavy metal kids
	12:46pm Alvy Singer: @clarke--JLL was the last man standing from the Million Dollar Quartet.
	12:46pm drr: the Games Killah Plays
	12:46pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, I think Wanda Jackson counts, no?
	12:46pm The Butterman: PaulRobeson, feckin’ barbaric!
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: Really wonderful show today, Michael. We have to take off to get some food, TV, vacuum before going to a press conference. I was going to dress for it, which revealed that I seem to have lost my "Eat Flaming Death, Fascist Media Pigs" shirt! WTH! Thanks, Michael! Later on, pals!
	12:47pm myron feld: JLL could not do a bad or even mediocre song. Just unreal.
	12:47pm clarke: i put wanda in the second tier
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: And HEY NOW, i just got my enamel pin for pledging during the Hellraiser! That was quick!
	12:48pm Tim from LH: There can never be enough Jerry Lee, great show today!
	12:49pm Alvy Singer: Lucky enough to have seen Jerry Lee twice. Once at Jazz Fest in NOLA, and the House of Blues in Times Square.
	12:49pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, well as far as those left alive, I guess the second tier has become the first tier.
	12:50pm Christina Ginger: Here is the scab episode with Eugene ‘Freddy Fender’ Levy. Start it around 18:30. www.youtube.com...
	12:50pm PaulRobeson1922: Oh Hii Butterman, sir!
	12:50pm clarke: yeah, Frank - wanda, janis martin, barb lewis (but, i honestly am not SURE who's alive anymore?)
	12:52pm myron feld: clarke, sadly Janis is gone. She was so good. "Drugstore Rock" is a personal fave.
	12:53pm McGroovey: I love this Shelby Lynne song. The summer this came out, it never left my CD player.
	12:54pm radioronan: This Shelby track is so damn good..Thanks Michael...Cheers y'all!
	12:54pm clarke: yeah, i should not play Dead Or Alive with anyone!!! when i spell LEGEND in all caps, i am talking the quartet guys, perkins, burnette, pettiman, berry, williams, etc.
	12:55pm Michael Shelley: a perfect album
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gram Parsons (born Ingram Cecil Connor III) November 5, 1946 – September 19, 1973
	12:57pm prof.fuzz: jonathan is not wrong...

(We usually try to bitter-end it with the weather but the space is use-it-or-lose-it and we don't want to get bounced.) Main Street Sports Bar & Grille in Plymouth last night had its big street-facing windows wide open.

	11:22am Frank In Queens: @Handy, there's no trees on the section of the street I live on, but I still have to clean up every fall as if there is. They blown down to me from down the road!
	11:22am myron feld: @Handy: clarke says you'll come up here to help mow and mulch. What's your ETA?

	11:25am phat in lincoln: Good morning all. Glad I made it! I've been working!
	11:26am McGroovey: I can't go outside. I have to do chores. I have to wash sheets and vacuum and all that stuff before my sister-in-law arrives.
	11:26am drr: oh Colin HARE. I kept wondering why that didn't sound much like Men At Work.
	11:26am clarke: McG: went to clancy's last nite - incredible!! drum fish best ever!!
	11:26am Handy Haversack: I am about to start in on all that, too, McGroove. Though I don't know that your sister-in-law is on her way over here as well.
	11:26am phat in lincoln: It's like they recorded the instruments over an AM radio.
	11:27am Michael Shelley: HAPPYMAN - 1st Juniper lp out in Japan on pink vinyl! lazyperfection.jp...
	11:27am clarke: mornin' Dave - nice rainy morn.
	11:28am phat in lincoln: Also, I need a coal man to tell my troubles to.
	11:29am clarke: cool on the pink vinyls!!! niiiiice!
	11:29am McGroovey: @phat in lincoln You say that like it's a bad thing. @Clarke Mmmmmm @Handy It would a great day for a paddle. I'll warn you if I hear of sister-in-law heading your way. I have no inside info on your own sister-in-law, if you have one.
	11:29am drr: Yeah, rain just started here. Margaret Orr says we need it.
	11:29am Peter Horvath: Didn’t Ronnie Burns do a few Bee Gees numbers?
	11:29am Squints: Going to see Charley Crockett in two weeks. wooHOO.
	11:30am Frank In Queens: Man, another new Charley Crockett album. Not complaining! Just hard to keep up.
	11:30am clarke: what does nash roberts say??
	11:30am Squints: "But your sister-in-law, she'll be calling, if she's not already knockin' on the door."
	11:31am SSS: ColeMan, Clown, whatever gets you through the night
	11:32am clarke: is there a Wipper lurkin'????????
	11:32am Frank In Queens: Wow, he's playing next week at Webster Hall. I had no idea! Not sure if we can make that night though...
	11:33am wind: ♥️♥️♥️
	11:33am Frank In Queens: MYRON!
	11:33am drr: nash roberts probably says a hurricane is on its way.
	11:33am wind: Frank in Queens! Thank you for that info🙏🏽
	11:33am phat in lincoln: @McGroovey oh, no, I'm a fan of AM radio.
	11:33am clarke: oh shit!! myron!
	11:34am clarke: i will testify that Myron's Drop-In's are GREAT!!
	11:35am Frank In Queens: Yes, highly recommended.
	11:35am clarke: i will have to triple-screen to catch myron's show, tho - world series plus lsu/bama at same time!
	11:35am the serpent: Ween was amazing! What a show
	11:35am myron feld: Thank you very much, clarke and FIQ! And thank you, Michael Shelley, for plugging the program!
	11:35am the serpent: The audience is like dead heads mixed with juggalos
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Aaaaaaand the vacuum cleaner is broken. Brooklyn Steel is maybe my least favorite place to see a show, after Terminal 5.
	11:36am phat in lincoln: The last time I saw Ween the crowd were so goddamn fucked up and annoying.
	11:37am clarke: vacuum cleaner broken - time for a drink!
	11:37am Frank In Queens: Man, Terminal 5 is the PITS! Gave me a good excuse to skip the GBV show there next month.
	11:37am the serpent: Well yes they are wasted. I think the seats at Beacon kept them in check
	11:37am clarke: wow. that's sayin' somethin'!
	11:37am HungryFreak: Did Ween do any cover songs? I think they are my favorite cover band, though their catalog is huge, because they might play literally ANY song at any point.
	11:38am Michael Shelley: HANDY - but the burritos...
	11:39am Montmaster J: The National Gallery is definitely worth it...greatest hits of art history.
	11:39am Squints: This is an awesomely relaxed take on this.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: @Squints, yeah I'm totally digging it.
	11:39am clarke: goodness gracious!!
	11:40am rx scabin: rx scabin vs. the leaves. Will be raking a big pile of leaves which will be blown back by high winds tonight. I am leaf Sysiphus.
	11:41am Christina Ginger: You should go eat at Mildred’s in London. They have a few locations, all conveniently located. The food is delicious.
	11:41am clarke: although i am pulling for RX - the Leaves were a pretty good outfit
	11:41am clarke: Miss Ginger!!! 'lo!!
	11:42am McGroovey: Well, now I feel like turning off the radio and listening to Fountains of Wayne all afternoon. But I shan't do that.
	11:42am Christina Ginger: ‘Ello Clarke! Hope things are going well.
	11:43am myron feld: Postman's Park in London has this: en.wikipedia.org... It's fascinating. A nice little park, and very near the Museum of London.
	11:43am clarke: had a tough tuesday - but recovering okay!
	11:43am ?: Spotify fed me Warren Zevon’s version of “A Certain Girl” just this morning.
	11:45am Christina Ginger: Glad to hear you’re doing better.
	11:45am McGroovey: I've been at Terminal 5 once, to see X. I thought it was an OK place. I couldn't figure out why I had to go up to the second floor to enter, when the club is on the first floor. But I survived that problem.
	11:45am phat in lincoln: @clarke are you sick?
	11:46am McGroovey: @Handy my vacuum is working if you want to borrow it. "Sorry I couldn't vacuum. Handy needed to borrow it."
	11:46am clarke: tuesday sucked: my own mistake caused me to lose all the guitar-tracks i had done the previous month - then went for a walk to clear my head to find my car had been (slightly) side-swiped.
	11:47am clarke: RX - was sick losing all that work. i can re-create it, tho.
	11:49am Michael Shelley: I once pushed the wrong button & lost a whole Bones Howe interview....
	11:49am Christina Ginger: Days like that are what I call Morton Salt Can Days.
	11:49am clarke: yeah, great care should be taken when tranferring files!!!!
	11:50am McGroovey: @clarke Just tell yourself "whelp, I'll do it better the second time anyway." But yeah, the car is a different cannibal I mean animal. (Autocorrect wanted me to write animal, so I didn't erase it.)
	11:50am Michael Shelley: who is the drummer on this Ikettes track? Yikes!
	11:51am McGroovey: I kinda like the drums on this, actually.
	11:51am clarke: salt-can fo' sho'!!! not to rub it in MS: there is a fantastic Bones Howe in depth interview by andrew sandoval on Come To The Sunshine
	11:52am Nunzio: Guineas rejoice!
	11:52am gf2002: Any day with Louis Prima is a good day
	11:52am clarke: well, the car is only scratch down the side and one small dent - but, tis the first thing to happen to a 2009 vehicle!
	11:52am myron feld: "Whatsa matta, Sam, you can't play in Italian?" The best.
	11:52am drr: There's another Bones Howe interview where he goes over the stage plots for recording Tom Waits. Good luck finding it from that scrap of memory.
	11:53am Frank In Queens: @clarke, well it was a good run while it lasted. That sucks though.
	11:54am nycmusicnerd: Nick Lowe is playing some dates at Nell's starting November 17. And Curtis Stigers has some upcoming dates in Ireland. Don't know if a UK/Ireland trip would be feasible, but it's worth a shot if you're over there.
	11:54am clarke: yeah - and McG is right about those tracks. it's a shame because i borrowed an SG and a strat and those sounds are gone.
	11:54am myron feld: The Speedies! Old pals. Really fun band.
	11:54am clarke: i can borrow those guitars again, tho. after i return from cali (where i am headed for a month)
	11:55am Michael Shelley: Going to one of the Nick shows - our excellent luck!
	11:55am Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU
	11:55am Peter: The Explorer's Club last night at TV Eye. These guys can sing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkoMi0B8kv4
	11:56am nycmusicnerd: Cool! I just heard that NL will be playing with Elvis Costello in Iceland this upcoming May.
	11:56am clarke: oh how was Exploerers show??
	11:57am myron feld: @Peter: I was there at EC last night. I'm pretty sure those vocals were, um, augmented.
	11:58am Frank In Queens: Man, the Troggs are just beating the hell out of that one string.
	11:58am McGroovey: Well, I don't know that it's true that the guitar tracks will be better the second time, but, you know, when you recorded them, you said to yourself "was that good enough? I could do it better... Hmm... No, I guess that was probably OK... I should go move the car....". So, now you're going to do that retake...
	11:58am ?: anybody going to se Billy Bremner (of Rockpile/Nick Lowe) in Drew's living room in Ringwood NJ next Sunday?
	11:59am phat in lincoln: The letter U and the numeral 2
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @? I'm not going to the Jersey show, but I will 100% be at the matinee at TV Eye on Saturday.
	11:59am clarke: i have had RL Burnside's shine - it was really smooth!!
	11:59am Michael Shelley: maybe...
	12:00pm phat in lincoln: Also, moonshine is BRUTAL.
	12:00pm common: had moonshine from a still in the woods in wv. never felt that drunk since
	12:00pm phat in lincoln: @clarke oh shit.
	12:01pm gf2002: Real 'shine from a Mason jar...yep. Interesting stuff.
	12:01pm clarke: sidenote: Bremner's back-up band in japan was The Value Leaders.
	12:01pm Peter: @myron yeah - I wondered about that.. a couple times I looked up .and thought. where is that coming from.. though to me it was more instruments than vocals.
	12:01pm myron feld: A friend who played minor league ball in Georgia and NC told me about his moonshine experience. He described it exactly as sung in White Lightning, and I'm pretty sure he's never heard that song.
	12:02pm Miss Georgia Peach: Me n my mom found London boring EXCEPT for the Victoria and Albert Museum which is incredible and unique
	12:02pm purpleknif: Had moonshine in Tennessee several years ago. It's not for kids.
	12:02pm clarke: that's my favorite kind of burger!!
	12:02pm The Butterman: At Merlfest in N.C., friend of friend opened up a mason jar of it and no shit, two guys in only overalls came out of nowhere to join our crew md sample the goods. They sipped. They hooted, hollered, and spit n cussed,” whewwwwww! It’ll make ya
	12:03pm myron feld: @Peter: instrumentation as well (keys/horns/percussion), but if you watched the bass player when he "sang," he barely opened his mouth.
	12:03pm Crazy_Athens: Hi from Greece!
	12:03pm carrots: best damn burger in the county!
	12:03pm SecretSquirrel: Nice version of “White Lightning” but I missed the cork-popping sound effect
	12:04pm nycmusicnerd: Frank & ?: I was tempted to go to TV Eye, but that's a real schlep for me.
	12:04pm scoober: Lived in Harrisonburg, VA for three years. AWESOME basement rock scene and MACRock every spring ... and of course... BUCK GOOTER!
	12:05pm drr: As a or the Tennessean in this conversation, I'm sad to say I don't think I've ever tasted any moonshine.
	12:05pm Pedro in Arlington: I can attest to the accolades about Virginia. The current governor is an ambitious oaf in a fleece vest but the food and beaches are good.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @nycnerd, I get it. Not the easiest place to get there for some folks. I'm pretty close by, so no sweat for me. And it'll be another of those weekends there where I might as well just sleep there since I'll be there 3 days in a row for various shows
	12:05pm drr: clarke: speaking of Tennessee, there's a clash of the titans at 3:30.
	12:06pm clarke: token tennessean, yer team is playing #1 Georgia this afternoon. huge war.
	12:06pm Handy Haversack: Well, sweeping is a lot harder than vacuuming, but the cats are less freaked out. Buying a new vacuum was really not in the budget, consarnit. Yeah, moonshine is godawful. I have had real backwoods moonshine, and it's one of the worst experiences of my life. The "moonshine" made by boutique distillers is unaged whiskey, which, well, aging smooths it out, but it's not like it was made in a holler and filtered through underwear.
	12:06pm clarke: jinx.
	12:06pm ledzeppelinsucks: I went to the Monarch sanctuary in Pacific Grove yesterday. It was peaceful and fascinating.
	12:07pm nycmusicnerd: Frank: Lucky you. As standing-only mosh pits go it's not a bad venue. I was there once. I was in pain afterwards, but it was worth it. :)
	12:07pm clarke: well, some moonshine is really smooth. i got a funny RL Burnside moonshine story, if ya want??
	12:07pm Christina Ginger: Never had moonshine, but my uncle used to harass my aunt by doing little shots of this grappa that was the Italian equivalent of paint thinner / moonshine. I tried it once. It was INTENSE.
	12:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ledzep, that sounds wonderful. It's so thrilling when they open their wings and the gray stuff on the trees is suddenly orange.
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: yeah - in Italy a restaurateur once brought me some of his "special" home made grappa.... oh dear!
	12:09pm Cat: Yeah, we are funky in Charlottesville. And, Franklin County is/was the moonshine capital of VA. It is wicked, indeed, but doesn't taste all that different, imo, than some of the youngish whiskey being made by the legit distilleries popping up. Love that McKenzie tune, Michael.
	12:09pm Peter: @myron oh definitley the bass singer - i questioned like with Robbie Robertson in "The Last Waltz", if his mic was even on.
	12:09pm McGroovey: Oh, now I feel like turning off the radio and listening to my Bram Tchaikovsky records. There aren't as many of them as Fountains of Wayne records.
	12:10pm Squints: When you don't bother with the "favorite" button because DUH. What a great record.
	12:10pm Peter: @myron - I still felt a little bad though. There weren't 25 people at the show. That's not even going to pay for gas.
	12:11pm phat in lincoln: Thank you for this Bram Tchaikovsky. Good lord this has it all. Those Rhino power pop compilations were a gift.
	12:11pm gf2002: Grappa...had some in the Finger Lakes back in April. As Nicholson said in Easy Rider, 'nick, nick, nick...'. Wow.
	12:12pm McGroovey: @Handy I would try to fix it. I succeed about 50% of the time when I try to fix a household appliance. That's better that 0%.
	12:12pm myron feld: @Peter: yeah, we felt really bad, too. We've seen them several times over the years and it's never been a big crowd, but that was sad. But -- they soldiered on, as good bands do.
	12:13pm phat in lincoln: The two times I had moonshine it reminded me of African palm wine, of all things, I'm taste. But it was much more, shall we say, violent.
	12:13pm Squints: McG, the other 50% of the time, does hilarity ensue?
	12:13pm clarke: so, i toured with RL Burnside a few times to japan. when we were preparing to leave, the first tour, RL poured out some plastic bottles of Maalox and put his shine in the bottles to take on the flight and overseas. but, when we got over there, his stomach didn't like the food we were getting, so he kept asking me to find him some Maalox. they don't have Maalox in japan!!
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good Day FMUvianz ! ~
	12:14pm gf2002: Did Bruce and Terry record this on a wax cylinder at Columbia? Great guitar solo though
	12:14pm clarke: rev!!
	12:14pm Listener Baby: Better late than never?
	12:15pm Peter: @myron that's my thought exactly. People who aren't doing this to get rich. but love the music. At same time, I felt a bit of my hipster cred was quasi-validated as I own a copy of "The Paragons Meet the Jesters" - which was on the wall - though I only have it on CD, which maybe is worse than not owning it.
	12:15pm clarke: Baby. BABY!!!!!
	12:15pm Squints: I like this well enough. But the PreFabs' was a little more, er, kinetic.
	12:15pm Handy Haversack: Grappa, aguardiente -- awful stuff. McGroove, I have no idea how to even try to fix it, and all the fix-it places in Brooklyn have closed.
	12:15pm johnk77: in ohio in the late 1960s shine came in mason jars from kentucky tasted like harsh vodka + hydrazine;>
	12:16pm Squints: The Farmer Boys number is blowed up real, real good for me. Daggone, man.
	12:16pm gf2002: It's not shine without the mason jar
	12:17pm SecretSquirrel: Saw Bram Tchaikovsky open for The Cars in Buffalo. Power Pop Heaven.
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: Baby - you clothed?
	12:19pm clarke: ha ha h aha
	12:22pm Moammar: Moonshine: Best consumed after some peaches have marinated in it. The charm is mainly the illegality. Poteen, the Irish potato version, made me think I might go blind, or perhaps just die.
	12:22pm clarke: SKILL!!!
	12:23pm Squints: Moammar, I would be quite happy with those peaches.
	12:23pm ledzeppelinsucks: JFA does brilliant short songs.
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: Maybe "Are You Straight or Are You Blind" is actually about poteen.
	12:25pm Squints: Hit after hit after hit.
	12:26pm drr: Don't tell me moonshine is like grappa because I love grappa. In small doses.
	12:26pm dave wuz here: i've had amazing clean tasty shine made by a friends grandaddy. it aint all nasty. had plenty of that too.
	12:26pm Mike Sin: Really enjoying the show on this “summer” day!
	12:27pm drr: I had some homemade whisky made by a pro distiller/brewer; that was great too. It was distilled homemade beer.
	12:27pm Christina Ginger: Time to wear the cutoffs and head to the beach, Mike!
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: Cutoffs? He's rockin' his mankini!
	12:28pm Hubig Pie: On the subject of firewater-Raki will curl your toes. Clear, un-aged brandy sorta like grappa that I abused while stationed at Iraklion AB Crete
	12:28pm andy fuchs: somebody mention me ?? Hi Mikey :)
	12:28pm clarke: @Frank: MovieTime????
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, there's no chance Mike Sin has a shirt on right now, right?
	12:29pm Mailman Tom: My friend's father brought home some moonshine from North Carolina back in the 1970s. Tasted liked a combination of tequila and vodka!
	12:30pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, nothing since our chat on Wed, unless you count the random screening of Drugstore Cowboy on THIS TV, which is one of those OTA retro stations.
	12:30pm Listener Baby: Baby. That depends.
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DJ GeorgyGirl spotlighted the new Revolver mixes if you didn't know : wfmu.org...
	12:31pm Crazy_Athens: Green eggs and ham
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: I never liked ham. Especially cold cut ham.
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: I might go get our first flat-screen TV today, if we have time. The CRT TV has acquired in incredibly loud hum.
	12:31pm drr: Counterpoint: ham is very good.
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: And eggs? Forget it! Quit them in 8th grade after an occurrence that is too gross to tell.
	12:32pm drr: "demolished turnip greens"?
	12:32pm Frank In Queens: Turnip greens I can get down with.
	12:32pm clarke: this week, i watched both versions of Nightmare Alley and each is great in its own way. the new (del toro) one stays closer to the novel, which makes it seem long. tyrone power is hard to beat, but gotta say both are great.
	12:32pm Christina Ginger: I feel like Canadian bacon is an amalgamation of ham and bacon. Eggs are so gross. Sorry.
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wake Up & eatcher fried Swine & stop complainin'.
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: Pigs are such cool animals. Ham, bacon, etc. just depress me.
	12:33pm Marne: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wUsr1GUZ3oU
	12:33pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, nice! Love the original version. Haven't seen the GDT version yet.
	12:33pm Christina Ginger: I was pleasantly surprised by the new version, Clarke. Saw it in the theatre with a friend when it came out, after having seen the original.
	12:34pm johnk77: some cheap flatscreen tvs have roku box inside
	12:34pm drr: like "morose".
	12:34pm Christina Ginger: BTW, I don’t really recommend GDT ‘s cabinet of curiosities that is on Netflix. Meh.
	12:34pm wind: So interesting
	12:34pm KWilde: Sophomore - wise fool
	12:34pm clarke: the look of the re-make is really, really well done! and well-acted, too.
	12:35pm Mailman Tom: Hershel Walker
	12:35pm Officer Pupp: Re Moron: it was specifically selected to NOT have negative connotations amongst the general public. Guess it doesn’t take long, eh?
	12:35pm Crazy_Athens: MorÓs on Greek means crazy.
	12:35pm drr: johnk77: yeah, mine does, and it thinks it's overheating and puts up a warning every ten minutes. Can't be fixed.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: johnk77, I want it as dumb as possible. Not going to connect it to the internet or cable. I just want to be able to pick up broadcast signals and stick a thumb drive in it. And maybe hook it up to the stereo and a DVD player.
	12:36pm P-90: Ahh, the good ol’ Benet Scale…
	12:36pm drr: the R word used to be the euphemism.
	12:37pm Frank In Queens: Hey now!
	12:37pm myron feld: Yes, the LA Kings!
	12:37pm clarke: they's playin' yer song frank
	12:38pm myron feld: vs the Islanders, if I remember correctly
	12:38pm Frank In Queens: Michael, that may seem quaint to you, but let me tell you, it gets friggin' old real quick when you hear it game in and game out!
	12:38pm clarke: ha ha ha ha.
	12:39pm P-90: @Officer Pupp: sure! because any term coined to describe “someone of low intelligence” is gonna get quickly co-opted into pejorative slang, guaranteed
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: I'd never heard it (or since) and I'm still laughing
	12:39pm PaulRobeson1922: When they tested the U.S army on that scale it was somthing like 60%?? Of the army came back feeble minded. The scale and testing was Arbitrary and deeply flawed- and to make a long story short that eugenical thinking and testing resulted in Buck V. Bell 1927- when Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote the infamous “… Three generations of imbeciles is enough”
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: Hockey has halves?
	12:39pm clarke: the Freebird of NHL!!
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: Shout out to whoever did it first
	12:40pm Alvy Singer: @FIQ--My Rangers are in a funk. Your Islanders are playing decent hockey, and the Bruins a really good.
	12:40pm Frank In Queens: I used to have tix next to a dude who could very well be classified as a moron, who would make the same jokes every game. Like when a player fell, he say "oops, ice is slippery!". And so on and so forth. Anyway, I used to hear "how much time is left?" at every game for two years straight until my brother and I finally moved our seats!
	12:40pm Hubig Pie: Hockey Monkey is my favorite hockey song
	12:40pm myron feld: Another fun hockey audience participation thing: at University of Wisconsin games, whenever someone comes out of the penalty box and the sides now have the same number of skaters, the announcer says "the teams are at equal strength" and the kids shout "That's debatable!"
	12:41pm johnk77: i suggest a simple antenna for over the air i just bought a 24 inch roku/westingouse check philips, rca, tcl
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: BLATANT PLUG: www.google.com...
	12:41pm Bob: Sounds great today
	12:42pm Moammar: Baldemar Huerta, my man! Pride of the Valley.
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: @Alvy, yeah, a rough stretch for the Rags. Igor will pull them through though, I'm sure. My Isles on the other hand....!
	12:42pm PaulRobeson1922: Also! Good morninggggg
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: As soon as Michael signs off, I'll be switching to the game vs. Detroit.
	12:43pm drr: Saw Eugene Levy do a brief Freddy Fender impression and I died.
	12:43pm myron feld: @FIQ: did your former row-mate use "Hey ref, does your wife know you're screwing us?"
	12:43pm Tim from LH: @?- I’ll be at Drew’s on Sunday for Bremner but how will I know you? You’re an enigma.
	12:43pm PaulRobeson1922: Here is a good book on Morons in America www.penguinrandomhouse.com...
	12:43pm clarke: and i will be tuning into the TN/Ga war.
	12:44pm Eli: Three periods in Hockey. No halves.
	12:44pm drr: Three halves.
	12:44pm clarke: it didn't hit me until later this week, that after the passing of JLL - there are NO more REAL legends left.
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: @myron, no that would be too clever for this dolt.
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: I assume each of the three halves is longer than two minutes?
	12:45pm JG: Ray Stevens' version of this is also good
	12:45pm CalZone!: I played this JLL on my show a cpl weeks ago. I just love the way he plays with the lyrics and the phrasing!
	12:46pm johnk77: great work selecter just figured out the composer of girl of my dreams is ronnie thomas of heavy metal kids
	12:46pm Alvy Singer: @clarke--JLL was the last man standing from the Million Dollar Quartet.
	12:46pm drr: the Games Killah Plays
	12:46pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, I think Wanda Jackson counts, no?
	12:46pm The Butterman: PaulRobeson, feckin’ barbaric!
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: Really wonderful show today, Michael. We have to take off to get some food, TV, vacuum before going to a press conference. I was going to dress for it, which revealed that I seem to have lost my "Eat Flaming Death, Fascist Media Pigs" shirt! WTH! Thanks, Michael! Later on, pals!
	12:47pm myron feld: JLL could not do a bad or even mediocre song. Just unreal.
	12:47pm clarke: i put wanda in the second tier
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: And HEY NOW, i just got my enamel pin for pledging during the Hellraiser! That was quick!
	12:48pm Tim from LH: There can never be enough Jerry Lee, great show today!
	12:49pm Alvy Singer: Lucky enough to have seen Jerry Lee twice. Once at Jazz Fest in NOLA, and the House of Blues in Times Square.
	12:49pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, well as far as those left alive, I guess the second tier has become the first tier.
	12:50pm Christina Ginger: Here is the scab episode with Eugene ‘Freddy Fender’ Levy. Start it around 18:30. www.youtube.com...
	12:50pm PaulRobeson1922: Oh Hii Butterman, sir!
	12:50pm clarke: yeah, Frank - wanda, janis martin, barb lewis (but, i honestly am not SURE who's alive anymore?)
	12:52pm myron feld: clarke, sadly Janis is gone. She was so good. "Drugstore Rock" is a personal fave.
	12:53pm McGroovey: I love this Shelby Lynne song. The summer this came out, it never left my CD player.
	12:54pm radioronan: This Shelby track is so damn good..Thanks Michael...Cheers y'all!
	12:54pm clarke: yeah, i should not play Dead Or Alive with anyone!!! when i spell LEGEND in all caps, i am talking the quartet guys, perkins, burnette, pettiman, berry, williams, etc.
	12:55pm Michael Shelley: a perfect album

	12:57pm prof.fuzz: jonathan is not wrong...
	12:57pm ?: What album is this from?
	12:57pm McGroovey: @Squints No, feelings of inadequacy ensue. "I should be able to fix this!"
	12:57pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZ
