	11:21am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "California Man" by "Move, The" I always think it was something that Cheap Trick covered The Move when, really, not many people in the states knew who they were.

	11:26am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Dog Sled" by "Louvin Brothers, The" No harmony on this one?

	11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: Who wants to go to the bakery for me?
	11:27am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Want To Know" by "Lloyd Sims" The question remains. Does he want to know?

	11:41am Michael Shelley: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:39 Is that recorded in nashville?
	11:42am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Little Baby" by "Howlin' Wolf" The greatest singer/performer/record maker ever.
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Little Baby" by "Howlin' Wolf" WOOVF
	11:46am clarke: did we decide on a college yet?
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Little Baby" by "Howlin' Wolf" From s/t album, 1960-2. Been putting out records for 10 years by then...
	11:49am clarke: i think i hear some rope in the background??
	11:50am morphe': I can see JoeyKneesTogether on stage holding the mike stand and standing around St Marks Bookshop, but can't remember any dancing??? Did he dance off stage/other people's music???
	11:51am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Song: "Comin' On Too Strong" by "Wayne Newton" Morningggggggggg @TheButterman! Am I? comming too strong
	11:51am clarke: ↳ morphe' @11:50 well, he actually DID ask amy rigby to dance with him.
	11:52am Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:40 hey, clarke!

	11:53am Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:52 ah, Folk City, yes?
	11:54am clarke: yes - really great version!!
	11:54am Listener Baby: Doublest of D’s. Hope you are swinging, man. Your stuff is missed, big time. Just know that.
	11:55am drr: Wow, the Advanced Playlist Search tells me the Michael Shelley Show has never played Jerry Reed's "Another Puff".
	11:57am drr: Zing Zang Bloody Mary mix is good; wasn't aware of the other.
	11:57am paul: They make a good bloody mary mix, too.
	11:59am Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:54 thanks, clarke!
	11:59am clarke: speaking of B&S, was listening to the studio version released, on a system with the volume at a certain level where i noticed that the tambourine is just slightly (and delightfully) a bit "off" - in the best way.
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Song: "Don't Give Up On Me" by "Solomon Burke" winnah spinnah!!!
	12:00pm Hubig Pie: I've had the Zing Zang but still prefer the Mr. and Mrs. T experience, but whadda I know
	12:00pm Listener Baby: Rare, yet effective slap echo snare. If you was wondering.
	12:00pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Listener Baby @11:54 Baby - thank you, my most brotherist of men! it means a lot! hope you're good!
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:00 you ain''t here for mudfest, son!!
	12:01pm jmd: ↳ Song: "Don't Give Up On Me" by "Solomon Burke" So many great contributions on this record. All #1 hits.
	12:01pm Chris Hiatt: Worth it to explore making margs with reposados as well, you get an extra layer of flavor and the wood still stays out the way. Something aged more like 6 months rather than one backed up against the añejo border of 11 months and 59 days.
	12:01pm clarke: GGSq!!!!
	12:01pm Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:59 no quantizing there!
	12:01pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:00 Can't afford it.
	12:01pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Don't Give Up On Me" by "Solomon Burke" The live performances of this song on TV were so frickin powerful
	12:01pm Listener Baby: I am just that, mister. Still holding out hope to shake your hand one day.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:01 ha ha ha, who played that tambourine??
	12:03pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Don't Give Up On Me" by "Solomon Burke" oh, to have this song followed up by cheap trick's "surrender"...
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:03 that would be health-threatening!!
	12:03pm Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @12:02 me!
	12:04pm TimG: Saw his performance in support of this album. What a force of life. PS love his version of Brian’s Soul Surfin on that disc
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:03 well it's GREAT!!
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:03 that would be like going from a sauna into an ice-cold pool.
	12:05pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Listener Baby @12:01 me too - it shall happen one day!
	12:05pm Mister Dobalina: Feel like I'm watching Rushmore.
	12:06pm Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @12:04 at your service!

	12:07pm Creature Boy: The Tremelos version of Peggy Sue? It'll KNOCK your socks OFF, son
	12:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Here Comes My Baby" by "Tremeloes, The" Good lord what a great track.
	12:08pm Dennis Diken: that was a re-record of "Here Comes My Baby," yes?
	12:09pm Creature Boy: ↳ Creature Boy @12:07 I was sure u was gunna play matt lucas' version of I'm Movin On Michael
	12:09pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "Down The Road A Piece" by "Will Bradley And His T... Early Manfred Mann do a great version of this. Thanks Michael!
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Here Comes My Baby" by "Tremeloes, The" 'Come to the Sunshine' spotlights early CatStevens : www.listennotes.com...
	12:10pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Down The Road A Piece" by "Will Bradley And His T... This is quite groovy. My bias remains for the way the Stones Chuck it up.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:09 the ONLY podcast!!
	12:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Down The Road A Piece" by "Will Bradley And His T... Couse I know this from 'Rolling Stones Now !' - a bitchen album I had without a cover & paired well with 'Beatles Second Album' & Who's debut & such...

	12:15pm clarke: but you'll be hollerin for the stros. traitor.
	12:15pm clarke: backside traitor.
	12:16pm clarke: that didn't come out right.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Ledge" by "Fleetwood Mac" vari-speed diddlin'.
	12:20pm CalZone!: What, me Furi Furi?
	12:20pm drr: Furry Fury
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Ledge" by "Fleetwood Mac" I feel like this explains Ween
	12:22pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "C'mon Everybody (live)" by "Eddie Cochran" Good Lord this rocks. Listen to that bass!
	12:23pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:22 Although he kinda messed up the riff.
	12:24pm clarke: well listen to THIS bass!
	12:24pm clarke: GGSq!!!
	12:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:24 Yeah. Who the hell is this guy?
	12:25pm clarke: a syl johnson rip-off!
	12:25pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Saving My Love" by "Darondo" Could be a case for playing a Darando song every week, Baby.
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:25 Well yes. But who's on bass? I did some searching the first time I heard Darondo and couldn't get anywhere.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:25 aye.
	12:26pm drr: a Tyrone Davis / Al Green impersonator?
	12:27pm clarke: al green was a syl johnson impersonator
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:24 www.youtube.com...
	12:27pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Saving My Love" by "Darondo" Really going for it. That alto saxophone solo was almost flirting with disaster.
	12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:22 I refer to EddieCochran records for an example of the difference Electric BassGittar made in comparison to StandUp Violin Bass in the RawkaRollaz.
	12:29pm clarke: darondo needs some rope moved.
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:27 Beauty
	12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:27 Treat the American women right!
	12:31pm tadpoles: Kiwi Chicks?
	12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hell of a show today.
	12:32pm clarke: aye
	12:34pm steveo: oh thank goodness a GL song I don't remember ever hearing before
	12:34pm tadpoles: Proportion to bird size the Kiwi lays the biggest egg in the world. Kiwi Chicks graciously allowed the Dixie Chicks to lob off the Dixie!
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "If You Got It" by "Gordon Lightfoot" Who Produced Lightfoot ? Love this sound on his early records. He was moody but catchy & Charted with deeper stuff.
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ steveo @12:34 whole album is jus' fine!
	12:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "If You Got It" by "Gordon Lightfoot" Kind of a Byrd's vibe? Way poppier.
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:35 ...almost as if - don't sound too much like the BYrdS - use Acoustic 12String instead...
	12:37pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:36 Yeah, I reminds me of something contemporary to them, but can't put my finger on it.
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: Watching The Detectives must have been recorded with the same drums set/mics/studio, not soon after this
	12:38pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:37 And the same compressor, lol.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:37 so... that must mean it is not the clover drummer?
	12:39pm drr: Thought this Isleys was Curtis Mayfield for a minute.
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:39 so did they!!
	12:40pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:38 not necessarily
	12:40pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:39 Lol
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:40 nnnnkay!!
	12:40pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Who's That Lady" by "Isley Brothers, The" Drummer $1000 extra for him.
	12:41pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:37 Chances are good! What was the backing band for those sessions? I think it was pre Attractions.
	12:43pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:41 Clover is the offical backing banc on My Aim Is True, and Steve Goulding is definitely on Detectives...
	12:43pm Greg from ZONE 5: I will be deep in the cold, cold ground before I toast Ed Sheeran!
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:43 that's what i was hinting at?
	12:44pm Listener Scott: The Marvin Gaye estate wasn't the plaintiff; they'd sold their rights to a copyright troll outfit
	12:44pm Listener Baby: The difference between the Ed S thing and the Thicke lawsuit, in my eyes, is that that Thicke song 100% stole the spirit and vibe of the Gaye song. The Ed S thing was just some similar chords and tempo. That’s why he won. And I am glad too.
	12:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:43 Wikipedia says Mickey Shine on that track. I don't have a copy of the record here to look.
	12:45pm clarke: btw, goulding kicks ass HARD on the tonight show with bowie!! jus' sayin'.
	12:45pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Straighten Up And Fly Right" by "Marvin Gaye" Wow, what a great version of this song!
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:43 You need some tracking work done?
	12:48pm clarke: i need some damn rope moved.
	12:49pm clarke: i'm going to report you to the association, if you'll just call one more time.
	12:50pm Bob: Drummer Mickey Shine was living in the Ypsilanti area for a while. I think Elvis was looking for him at one point. He got killed in a car wreck near Toledo a few years back
	12:50pm clarke: oh tragic! damn.
	12:51pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Shine A Light" by "Apples In Stereo" Nice! Enjoying the show today!
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Shine A Light" by "Apples In Stereo" Yay love these guys.
	12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @12:50 Oh no!
	12:53pm Chris Hiatt: Enjoyed listening to the show today. Thanks for your selections, Michael Shelley!
	12:54pm clarke: top-tier boyo!
	12:55pm Jack McGuire: Aw man I love Sloan.
	12:55pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great show! Will be listening to several of these over and over again this week!
	12:56pm clarke: and Squints STILL hasn't made up his mind about Toledo.
	12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I Dream Of Sleep" by "Sloan" Reminds of Smithereens' 'Crazy MixedUp Kid'. Which is always good.
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Watching The Credits" by "Beths, The" Probably gonna see them in Omaha in a few weeks.
	12:57pm Artie: Thanks, Michael!
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:56 very fine, sir!
	12:57pm listener phat in Lincoln: Great show today, as always. Thanks Michael.
	12:57pm Listener Baby: I think we need to see this band live. They are pretty darned produced. Curious to see them naked.
	12:58pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:57 It's a festival, which I really don't like, but it'll fun.
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:58 well any fest that would get the beths....
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Baby @12:57 ...curoius how long they'll keep it up / to see where they go with it...
	12:59pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:58 Maha Festival usually does well. Alvvays are playing, too.
	12:59pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been Baby'd??? good night!!
	1:00pm Brooklyn banzai: CKLW!
	1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I left the USA to see TheBeths in this really swampy fallow grounds @ a Festival ...I was an expat in a dying field...
	1:00pm Hells Kitch: Listened to CKLW growing in DeTroit all of the time. Great show Michael!!
	1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	1:03pm J-Rod: Michael, a couple of things. I too have 49 states with only Alaska to go. Was stuck on 48 for years, but hit 49 - ND - in 2017. Like you, planning / hoping for Alaska…. Secondly, love your interviews. Bought and read “Liar Liar….” and “this band has no past…” as a result. Keep it coming!!

	11:21am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "California Man" by "Move, The" I always think it was something that Cheap Trick covered The Move when, really, not many people in the states knew who they were.
	11:22am listener phat in Lincoln: Hi all!
	11:22am clarke: phat, good day!!
	11:22am Frank In Queens: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:21 I like that CT throw the Brontosaurus riff into the middle of their version.

	11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: Who wants to go to the bakery for me?

	11:41am clarke: ↳ SeanG @11:40 oh, no - the naked eye was further down on the corner.
	11:41am Michael Shelley: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:39 Is that recorded in nashville?
	11:42am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Little Baby" by "Howlin' Wolf" The greatest singer/performer/record maker ever.
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Little Baby" by "Howlin' Wolf" WOOVF
	11:46am clarke: did we decide on a college yet?
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Little Baby" by "Howlin' Wolf" From s/t album, 1960-2. Been putting out records for 10 years by then...

	11:53am Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:52 ah, Folk City, yes?
	11:54am clarke: yes - really great version!!
	11:54am Listener Baby: Doublest of D’s. Hope you are swinging, man. Your stuff is missed, big time. Just know that.
	11:55am drr: Wow, the Advanced Playlist Search tells me the Michael Shelley Show has never played Jerry Reed's "Another Puff".
	11:57am drr: Zing Zang Bloody Mary mix is good; wasn't aware of the other.
	11:57am paul: They make a good bloody mary mix, too.
	11:59am Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:54 thanks, clarke!
	11:59am clarke: speaking of B&S, was listening to the studio version released, on a system with the volume at a certain level where i noticed that the tambourine is just slightly (and delightfully) a bit "off" - in the best way.
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Song: "Don't Give Up On Me" by "Solomon Burke" winnah spinnah!!!
	12:00pm Hubig Pie: I've had the Zing Zang but still prefer the Mr. and Mrs. T experience, but whadda I know
	12:00pm Listener Baby: Rare, yet effective slap echo snare. If you was wondering.
	12:00pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Listener Baby @11:54 Baby - thank you, my most brotherist of men! it means a lot! hope you're good!
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:00 you ain''t here for mudfest, son!!
	12:01pm jmd: ↳ Song: "Don't Give Up On Me" by "Solomon Burke" So many great contributions on this record. All #1 hits.
	12:01pm Chris Hiatt: Worth it to explore making margs with reposados as well, you get an extra layer of flavor and the wood still stays out the way. Something aged more like 6 months rather than one backed up against the añejo border of 11 months and 59 days.
	12:01pm clarke: GGSq!!!!
	12:01pm Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:59 no quantizing there!
	12:01pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:00 Can't afford it.
	12:01pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Don't Give Up On Me" by "Solomon Burke" The live performances of this song on TV were so frickin powerful
	12:01pm Listener Baby: I am just that, mister. Still holding out hope to shake your hand one day.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:01 ha ha ha, who played that tambourine??
	12:03pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Don't Give Up On Me" by "Solomon Burke" oh, to have this song followed up by cheap trick's "surrender"...
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:03 that would be health-threatening!!
	12:03pm Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @12:02 me!
	12:04pm TimG: Saw his performance in support of this album. What a force of life. PS love his version of Brian’s Soul Surfin on that disc
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:03 well it's GREAT!!
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:03 that would be like going from a sauna into an ice-cold pool.
	12:05pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Listener Baby @12:01 me too - it shall happen one day!
	12:05pm Mister Dobalina: Feel like I'm watching Rushmore.

	12:09pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "Down The Road A Piece" by "Will Bradley And His T... Early Manfred Mann do a great version of this. Thanks Michael!
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Here Comes My Baby" by "Tremeloes, The" 'Come to the Sunshine' spotlights early CatStevens : www.listennotes.com...
	12:10pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Down The Road A Piece" by "Will Bradley And His T... This is quite groovy. My bias remains for the way the Stones Chuck it up.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:09 the ONLY podcast!!
	12:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Down The Road A Piece" by "Will Bradley And His T... Couse I know this from 'Rolling Stones Now !' - a bitchen album I had without a cover & paired well with 'Beatles Second Album' & Who's debut & such...

	12:15pm clarke: but you'll be hollerin for the stros. traitor.
	12:15pm clarke: backside traitor.
	12:16pm clarke: that didn't come out right.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Ledge" by "Fleetwood Mac" vari-speed diddlin'.
	12:20pm CalZone!: What, me Furi Furi?
	12:20pm drr: Furry Fury
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Ledge" by "Fleetwood Mac" I feel like this explains Ween
	12:22pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "C'mon Everybody (live)" by "Eddie Cochran" Good Lord this rocks. Listen to that bass!
	12:23pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:22 Although he kinda messed up the riff.
	12:24pm clarke: well listen to THIS bass!
	12:24pm clarke: GGSq!!!
	12:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:24 Yeah. Who the hell is this guy?
	12:25pm clarke: a syl johnson rip-off!
	12:25pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Saving My Love" by "Darondo" Could be a case for playing a Darando song every week, Baby.
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:25 Well yes. But who's on bass? I did some searching the first time I heard Darondo and couldn't get anywhere.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:25 aye.
	12:26pm drr: a Tyrone Davis / Al Green impersonator?
	12:27pm clarke: al green was a syl johnson impersonator
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:24 www.youtube.com...
	12:27pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Saving My Love" by "Darondo" Really going for it. That alto saxophone solo was almost flirting with disaster.
	12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:22 I refer to EddieCochran records for an example of the difference Electric BassGittar made in comparison to StandUp Violin Bass in the RawkaRollaz.
	12:29pm clarke: darondo needs some rope moved.
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:27 Beauty
	12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:27 Treat the American women right!
	12:31pm tadpoles: Kiwi Chicks?
	12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hell of a show today.
	12:32pm clarke: aye
	12:34pm steveo: oh thank goodness a GL song I don't remember ever hearing before
	12:34pm tadpoles: Proportion to bird size the Kiwi lays the biggest egg in the world. Kiwi Chicks graciously allowed the Dixie Chicks to lob off the Dixie!
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "If You Got It" by "Gordon Lightfoot" Who Produced Lightfoot ? Love this sound on his early records. He was moody but catchy & Charted with deeper stuff.
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ steveo @12:34 whole album is jus' fine!
	12:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "If You Got It" by "Gordon Lightfoot" Kind of a Byrd's vibe? Way poppier.
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:35 ...almost as if - don't sound too much like the BYrdS - use Acoustic 12String instead...
	12:37pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:36 Yeah, I reminds me of something contemporary to them, but can't put my finger on it.
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: Watching The Detectives must have been recorded with the same drums set/mics/studio, not soon after this
	12:38pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:37 And the same compressor, lol.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:37 so... that must mean it is not the clover drummer?
	12:39pm drr: Thought this Isleys was Curtis Mayfield for a minute.
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:39 so did they!!
	12:40pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:38 not necessarily
	12:40pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:39 Lol
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:40 nnnnkay!!
	12:40pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Who's That Lady" by "Isley Brothers, The" Drummer $1000 extra for him.
	12:41pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:37 Chances are good! What was the backing band for those sessions? I think it was pre Attractions.
	12:43pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:41 Clover is the offical backing banc on My Aim Is True, and Steve Goulding is definitely on Detectives...
	12:43pm Greg from ZONE 5: I will be deep in the cold, cold ground before I toast Ed Sheeran!
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:43 that's what i was hinting at?
	12:44pm Listener Scott: The Marvin Gaye estate wasn't the plaintiff; they'd sold their rights to a copyright troll outfit
	12:44pm Listener Baby: The difference between the Ed S thing and the Thicke lawsuit, in my eyes, is that that Thicke song 100% stole the spirit and vibe of the Gaye song. The Ed S thing was just some similar chords and tempo. That’s why he won. And I am glad too.
	12:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:43 Wikipedia says Mickey Shine on that track. I don't have a copy of the record here to look.
	12:45pm clarke: btw, goulding kicks ass HARD on the tonight show with bowie!! jus' sayin'.
	12:45pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Straighten Up And Fly Right" by "Marvin Gaye" Wow, what a great version of this song!
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:43 You need some tracking work done?
	12:48pm clarke: i need some damn rope moved.
	12:49pm clarke: i'm going to report you to the association, if you'll just call one more time.
	12:50pm Bob: Drummer Mickey Shine was living in the Ypsilanti area for a while. I think Elvis was looking for him at one point. He got killed in a car wreck near Toledo a few years back
	12:50pm clarke: oh tragic! damn.
	12:51pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Shine A Light" by "Apples In Stereo" Nice! Enjoying the show today!
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Shine A Light" by "Apples In Stereo" Yay love these guys.
	12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @12:50 Oh no!

	12:56pm clarke: and Squints STILL hasn't made up his mind about Toledo.
	12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I Dream Of Sleep" by "Sloan" Reminds of Smithereens' 'Crazy MixedUp Kid'. Which is always good.
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Watching The Credits" by "Beths, The" Probably gonna see them in Omaha in a few weeks.
	12:57pm Artie: Thanks, Michael!

	1:00pm Brooklyn banzai: CKLW!

Secondly, love your interviews. Bought and read “Liar Liar….” and “this band has no past…” as a result. Keep it coming!!
