	12:52pm Buck Flummox: Thank you for the solid tribute Joe. Dex was a big one for me...The outer limits of the hereafter just received a deeply soulful, one of a kind heartbreaker of a human creature..... ...
	👻 12:54pm tim: ↳ Song: "New York Studio 1959" by "Flat Duo Jets" Wow! Is this the strings that people were complaining about? What the hell do they know?!?!

	👻 1:01pm emilyh: i wonder what it would have been like if dex had jack white's career. though i don't think that would even be possible. he wouldn't be, you know, dex.
	1:02pm clarke: jack white would be nothing without the neckbones and duo jets
	1:03pm clarke: and oblivions
	1:04pm clarke: i've heard "natural causes"
	1:05pm clarke: sara era, hah!
	👻 1:05pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ clarke @1:04 His heart stopped.

	1:25pm brrm: Saw DEVO and The Ramones at the Showplace. Great local bands like TV Toy played there a lot too. The drummer from that band ended up in Bill Nelson's Red Noise. Weird combo/story.
	👻 1:26pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Alchemy" by "Richard Lloyd" Lloyd will play at Salty’s Beach Bar (1705 Main St, Lake Como, NJ) on May 19, with Dead Boys and the Plimsouls.
	1:28pm Bob Barth: Morning Joe! Hey everybody!
	👻 1:29pm San Pedro Girl: I saw Health and Happiness in NY in the 90s. I think it was at the Mercury Lounge, but I can’t recall. Richard Lloyd played with them. Butch Hancock was the opening act. It was a great show.
	1:30pm clarke: wow, butch hancock!!
	👻 1:31pm emilyh: YAY how fun was THAT?! (i saw richard last year SO GREAT - i wasn't sure whether i should say hi but i did and he was tres polite. he always THREW his head back and chucked his hat off during his set.)
	👻 1:31pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ clarke @1:30 Yes! He is a favorite of mine. Underrated.
	1:32pm clarke: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:31 i met him as a kid - never got to a show, tho
	👻 1:33pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ emilyh @1:31 It was a blast. I chatted with Richard during the break. He was really approachable, very friendly.

	1:34pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ efd @1:17 agreed. this is very cool.

	1:35pm clarke: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:34 some friends are working on a doc about Butch - stay tuned.
	1:35pm cee dub: @SanPedroGirl iirc that was CBGBs - or maybe both, James? Also, ¿venue Wednesday?
	1:35pm clarke: is this the megan reilly from memphis???
	1:36pm Billybob: ↳ Dan Bruning @1:23 I saw the Plasmatics there in the 70s. Driving there from central Jersey, I had no idea where I was going. Now I'm in the next town over (Rockaway) and the place is long gone. Sigh

	1:37pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @1:36 okay - yes! she is awesome!

	👻 1:41pm patrick321: I've been a JM fan since the Bongos (whom I never saw) but years ago at a time I was sadly between jobs, I paid $5 for what the promoter Tucker called "outdoor standing room" for the H&H Show and stood outside the door of a tiny room in Long Valley where Rt 24 turns up onto Schooleys Mountain. It remains a fave memory.
	👻 1:41pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Lookout" by "Dex Romweber Duo" I went to the Duo's sparsely attended shows at the Brighton Bar (2010, 2011), not aware I had seen the drummer Sara over a quarter century before in Let's Active (playing with T.S.O.L. at City Gardens).
	👻 1:41pm emilyh: ↳ Song: "Love Was a Dream" by "Megan Reilly" so beautifuul
	1:42pm Dennis Diken: sounding fabulous, lads!
	1:43pm clarke: memphis accent is about the best there IS!
	1:43pm Dan Bruning: ↳ Billybob @1:36 I live in Rockaway also
	👻 1:43pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ cee dub @1:35 Maybe. Somehow, I remember it being a bit of a nicer, cleaner venue.
	👻 1:45pm emilyh: i can't possibly be the only person who cracks up when joe b laughs, can i? he has the BEST LAUGH!
	1:46pm clarke: he's up there in the laugh pantheon
	👻 1:47pm emilyh: ↳ clarke @1:46 in fairness too, james seems like a really funny person!
	1:48pm clarke: he is!
	👻 1:49pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ emilyh @1:47 Yes!
	1:51pm clarke: i was just reading how Ian Hunter came up with the banter at the end of Mott's All The Young Dudes: apparently, there was this guy at a Mott show with glasses on and said most of the stuff to ian that makes it into the outro.
	1:52pm clarke: "i've wanted to do this for years"
	👻 1:53pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ clarke @1:52 It has always left me wondering what “this” is.
	1:53pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Still Love Rock and Roll" by "Ian Hunter" hunter and roy wood shared a love of the old rock and roll days. which is fantastic!
	1:54pm clarke: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:53 i believe it was to throw a pie at hunter??
	👻 1:54pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ clarke @1:54 Was a pie thrown?
	1:55pm clarke: i need to go back and find that article
	👻 1:56pm emilyh: i always think of ian hunter and jeff conolly as kind curly twins
	1:56pm clarke: plus, the article was unclear, ha ha
	👻 1:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ clarke @1:56 The mere mention of a pie throw makes me laugh.
	1:58pm clarke: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:58 ikr??
	👻 1:59pm emilyh: ↳ Song: "Lounge Lizard" by "Mott The Hoople" HOT LEGS (it reminds me of that)
	1:59pm cee dub: Ahh, rekkid release @Bowery Electric!
	👻 2:00pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ emilyh @1:59 Agree!
	2:00pm clarke: you mean Hot Legs sounds like this.
	2:00pm clarke: as it pre-dates by years.
	2:02pm common: joe! everyone
	2:03pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Now I wish I'd seen Dex at Greenpoint's Kingsland in May...
	2:03pm Tom: Tell us how "Nuts & Bolts" came about
	2:04pm clarke: he did
	👻 2:04pm emilyh: ↳ clarke @2:00 yes, i do mean that. you know what i meant!
	2:04pm clarke: The Bongos got signed but they had spare time while waiting for the album to come out - they had time booked at Drive-In and decided to keep the session.
	👻 2:06pm emilyh: ↳ Song: "The Face of the Sun" by "James Mastro" that was BEAUTIFUL! applause, applause james!
	👻 2:07pm Will thee Sound Guy: diggin this James Mastro chat and tunes

	👻 2:11pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @2:07 Me too! Very enjoyable.
	👻 2:12pm emilyh: ↳ San Pedro Girl @2:09 YES! i had a friend in college who had a laugh like that -- if he laughed, and it was kind of a GIGGLE, EVERYONE laughed -- but if you saw that friend in a dark alley, or on his harley, or with his snakes, your whole body would probably go cold with fear. (he was SUCH a sweetheart, but he was a big weightlifting wild-haired sweetheart :) )
	2:13pm clarke: early shows are where it's AT these days!
	2:13pm dday: ↳ Dennis Diken @1:42 Hi Dennis..your book is somewhere in the Mt. Morris NY postal system. It Might be lost..idunno..sorry

	👻 2:14pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ clarke @2:13 Yes. We’re old.
	2:15pm dday: A late friend Gary D., artist & harmonica player was Danny Clinch's neighbor
	2:15pm clarke: i am!
	2:15pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Saw the Bongos headline over out-of-towners R.E.M. at Queens College's Rathskeller...
	2:15pm BP: Great interview and the set list is perfect. Bowery show is gonna be R O C K I N
	👻 2:16pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn @2:15 Sounds like a fun show.
	2:16pm clarke: james may not be on Drums album, but he played the tour behind it and sounded fab doing it!
	2:17pm clarke: of course, he is too modest.
	2:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:00 ...or not :D ...well if there's bad Bongos I ain't heard it...
	2:20pm clarke: ↳ Song: "In the Congo" by "The Bongos" my point, exactly!
	2:23pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: @San Pedro Girl: It was! Richard Barone told me recently that he remembered it well. I ran into Peter Buck years later and he remembered ME!

	👻 2:27pm emilyh: WOW alejandro!!
	👻 2:27pm emilyh: ↳ Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn @2:24 but only the GOOD parts of the '80s! (ugh, the reagan years shudder)
	2:28pm woj: DON'T CROSS THE GREEK AND ITALIAN STREAMS!
	👻 2:30pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ emilyh @2:27 It was a fantastic time. I am glad I was living in NY for the 70s and 80s, when it was gritty and wild.
	👻 2:30pm emilyh: ↳ woj @2:28 IS THIS ABOUT PIZZAS
	2:31pm clarke: this is about pizzas.
	2:31pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: emilyh, I DJed my non-punk '80s singles out a few years ago. Everyone dug it but nobody danced...
	2:32pm clarke: ↳ emilyh @2:30 that is a great title!
	2:32pm woj: ↳ emilyh @2:30 nah just riffing on james' comment about italians not being allowed in alejandro's band with greeks...but, to be honest, everything is about pizza eventually!
	👻 2:35pm patrick321: ↳ emilyh @2:23 Same emilyh
	2:36pm clarke: i suppose i should start makin' my way to the airport. great show!!! as always!!
	👻 2:36pm emilyh: oh i was in baltimore during the '80s -- what a different time. the '80s there kinda started with "revitalizing" the formerly industrial inner harbor, the O's winning the world series, and then...crack hit. i still love so much about that town. (it looks especially better when you've got DC in your rearview as you head back to charm city)
	2:37pm clarke: really enjoyed the mastro convo!!!
	👻 2:38pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ clarke @2:36 Bye Clarke! I hope you have fun with Handy and K-8.

(he kinda grudgingly shook her hand, and i was all, hey girl - this is columbia, not baltimore lol.)

Mon. Nov 25th, Noon - 3pm: Weegee (More info...)
Weegee emerged from the trash-rock gutter at their own pace, the slow burn of their bone-rattling riffs mirroring the band's arrival onto New York stages. Their 2023 self-released cassette '"Primitive Thrill" has been remixed and given a proper vinyl release on Dot Dash Sounds. To celebrate, the band returns to WFMU one year after blowing minds on the Spin-Age Blasters program.

February 19, 2024: James Mastro in the studio!

	1:02pm clarke: jack white would be nothing without the neckbones and duo jets
	1:03pm clarke: and oblivions

	1:36pm Billybob: ↳ Dan Bruning @1:23 I saw the Plasmatics there in the 70s. Driving there from central Jersey, I had no idea where I was going. Now I'm in the next town over (Rockaway) and the place is long gone. Sigh

	👻 1:41pm patrick321: I've been a JM fan since the Bongos (whom I never saw) but years ago at a time I was sadly between jobs, I paid $5 for what the promoter Tucker called "outdoor standing room" for the H&H Show and stood outside the door of a tiny room in Long Valley where Rt 24 turns up onto Schooleys Mountain. It remains a fave memory.
	👻 1:41pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Lookout" by "Dex Romweber Duo" I went to the Duo's sparsely attended shows at the Brighton Bar (2010, 2011), not aware I had seen the drummer Sara over a quarter century before in Let's Active (playing with T.S.O.L. at City Gardens).
	👻 1:41pm emilyh: ↳ Song: "Love Was a Dream" by "Megan Reilly" so beautifuul
