	11:09am clarke: tape hiss? chef's kiss!!
	11:10am Squints: ↳ Song: "It Takes Two To Make One" by "Jim Ford" I'm pretty sure that when The Blue Shadows made that record, they said, "I know. Let's make a Jim Ford record." And much was the rejoicing.
	11:10am clarke: that's MISTER Swamp Dogg to you!!
	11:12am Listener Scott: As a guy who grew up on the border of Levittown and Hicksville (I'm technically from the former), my understanding has been that the Lemon Twigs are from Hicksville.

	11:20am rx "rexy" scabin: Goodbye and thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must leave to participate in graduationc: full regalia.1
	11:20am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Song: "Liverpool" by "Yaseen And Party" This song is about Yaseen going to Liverpool for sports gambling purposes. He’s going to bet on an unspecified soccer match.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Morning, Michael and all the Shellegamers! Back from the store, gonna get brunch going here.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:20 i'd hate to take a bite outta you.

	11:22am clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:22 this one's totin' THIS one around for THIS ONE.
	11:25am clarke: The Unit!!
	11:25am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Song: "I Will" by "Unit 4+2" I was told there would be no math!
	11:26am Squints: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:25 I'm sorry. That was LAST semester. This semester, all the damned math.
	11:26am egould: Drummer earned his paycheck.
	11:26am clarke: crystal math.
	11:28am Squints: Saw Neil Young & Crazy Horse last night at Great Woods or whatever the heck it's called now. They brought it quite nicely. Was hoping for Nils Lofgren but I forgot he's currently in Europe with That Other Guy. Steen-something. Anyway, we got the quite acceptable Lukas Nelson.
	11:28am Squints: ↳ Song: "Just a Little Bit Of You" by "Connie Smith" Wayne Newton could not be reached for comment.
	11:29am HyperDose: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:22 Greg! Picturing you warming up in the cage with doughnut weights on your bat
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:28 didn't realize nils wasn't on this tour.
	11:30am clarke: it was the Tweeter Center for a minute.
	11:30am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:29 Nor did I until I saw clips of Bruce playing in Dublin.
	11:31am clarke: but YES: always gonna be Great Woods.
	11:31am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "We Got Our Bag'" by "Peggy Scott and Jo Jo Benson" Best uses of electric sitar in pop? "Band of Gold" has to be up there.
	11:31am Squints: ↳ Song: "We Got Our Bag'" by "Peggy Scott and Jo Jo Benson" G G Y
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 Cry Like A Baby?? BABY!!!
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:31 Iconic!
	11:32am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:31 It's not even principle. At some point we just throw up our hands about keeping up with all the name changes. Permenant revolution? Feh.
	11:33am clarke: you got your bag, i got mine
	11:33am Hughie Considine: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:32 Vinnie Bell, who electrified the sitar, also electrified the bouzouki, which was less successful.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:32 it's that, in general, but also: trad dad.
	11:34am myron feld: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 B.J.'s "Hooked On A Feeling" -- the immortal Reggie Young! Who is most likely on "Cry Like A Baby" as well.
	11:34am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:33 Definitely didn't go over in the cheese shops.
	11:34am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:33 silvertone liked it!
	11:35am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:34 reggie!! always young.
	11:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:34 You...do have some cheese, don't you?
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:34 speaking of cheese shops -- the sequeal to Spinal Tap was shot in new orleans, recently. one of the locations was Nigel's Artisan Cheese & Guitar Shop. (sorry for spoiler).
	11:39am Bob Barth: THE DESCENDANTS: Completely agree with you Michael. Very underrated.
	11:40am clarke: John Buck Wilkin RIP - huuuuge Daytonas fan!!
	11:40am clarke: sounds like MovieTime came early?
	11:41am Frank In Queens: We watched "Tough Guys Don't Dance". Loved it! What a wonderfully whacked out movie.
	11:44am clarke: that burt reynolds?
	11:45am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "G.T.O." by "Ronny And The Daytonas" I always anxiously await the final "Blow it out!"
	11:45am myron feld: ↳ Song: "G.T.O." by "Ronny And The Daytonas" Ultra #1 song. "Take her out to Pomona and let 'em know!"
	11:45am egould: Acoustic guitar solo!
	11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ myron feld @11:45 I'm gonna have to play this for my kid, who attends Pomona.
	11:45am myron feld: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:45 Exactly!
	11:45am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "G.T.O." by "Ronny And The Daytonas" YES!! Gives me the chills every time.
	11:46am clarke: BLOW IT OUT
	11:46am Greg from ZONE 5: I feel seen!
	11:47am Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @11:45 12 string acoustic?
	11:48am johnk77: currently the in-n-out pomona drag strip
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Song: "Apartment 21" by "John Buck Wilkin" wow, a road-map for david gates.
	11:49am egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:47 I’ll listen after Rex’s show and submit my opinion via email. :-)
	11:49am clarke: ↳ johnk77 @11:48 those're good burgers, dude.
	11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:44 Ryan O'Neil, Isabella Rossellini, Wings Hauser, and Lawrence Tierney. Norman Mailer directed.
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:47 funny, that's what i have been tracking all week!!
	11:51am Frank In Queens: Rather, O'Neal
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:50 oh yeah, i need to see that!!! i re-watched The American, last night - not the bullshit flick out now - the real one with clooney - SO GOOD!!!
	11:53am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Somebody Made For Me (music only)" by "Emitt Rhodes" A divine track. I can listen to this song on repeat forever.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Song: "Somebody Made For Me (music only)" by "Emitt Rhodes" love this and first three albums. i always say: wierdest interview ever!
	11:53am egould: ↳ clarke @11:49 I was in LA last week, and squandered an opportunity for In N Out.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:53 weirdest.
	11:54am Barney Grubbs: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 used to be you could hear the drag races from campus—that was 30 years ago, but presumably you still can?
	11:55am Squints: Off to head out with my honey to get a new refrigerator. Maybe move some rope. Will catch up with the second hour later. Hasta, babes.
	11:55am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:51 Never saw that one
	11:55am clarke: ↳ egould @11:53 L.A. i hope - had you come to LA hope you would have contacted us.
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:55 oh man - excellent Film!! anton corbijn!!!!
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:55 hah, i'm getting a new fridge too.
	11:57am egould: Los Angeles. If i make it to LouisianA, I’ll certainly be in touch.
	11:57am Toothgrinder Tom: I need to clean my fridge.
	11:58am clarke: ↳ egould @11:57 good boy!! (there's no in/out, here, btw) - nearest: sugar land, TX)
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @11:57 just get a new one!!
	11:58am Michael Shelley: THE EMITT TRACKS: www.youtube.com...
	11:59am Bob Barth: Have you heard about that WFMU show LIVE from Los Angeles that covers the So. Cal arts scene?
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:58 danke !!!
	12:00pm Hoboken Jack: Good day Michael, Clarke, Frank, Greg, HyperD, Gaylord, Handy, all!
	12:00pm clarke: jaaaack!!!! that tears it!!
	12:01pm clarke: is this a Wipper Production???
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Barney Grubbs @11:54 I'll have to ask!
	12:01pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:00 Howdy Jack and all!
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:01 has the kid ever seen American Graffiti??
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:02 "what's he mean 'we're done'?" - "done having fun!!!"
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:00 Hi Jack
	12:06pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "She Loves The Way They Love Her" by "Zombies, The" That "audience" is really "into it."
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:02 We've seen it actually -- went down well.
	12:09pm Dano59: ... enjoying today's show immensely, Michael. even the AI bumpers
	12:11pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Big Chief Boogie" by "Spade Cooley" check out the harrowing Spade Cooley episode of Cocaine & Rhinestones. backstories on previous tracks to follow
	12:12pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:02 yes
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @12:11 Indeed harrowing. Even Mr. Coe seemed unsettled in the recounting.
	12:12pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Your Gentle Way of Loving Me" by "Guilbeau And Pa... Uncle Tupelo / Coffee Creek did a real nice live version of 'Gentle Ways'
	12:13pm Dano59: ↳ Bob Barth @11:59 NO! (unless it's your show, in which case MAYBE!)
	12:14pm MrDeb: Wow. I was like "what is this racist bullshit?". Spade Cooley sounds like he was a real gem. "“Spade” Cooley was a virtuoso fiddler and Roy Rogers’ movie stand-in, who had six consecutive Top 10 hits and was considered Hollywood’s King of Western Swing. He was also a mean, jealous, paranoid, violent, alcoholic man who brutally murdered his wife in front of their daughter."
	12:17pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Love Wheel" by "Daniel Johnston" I fell for Daniel Johnston's schtick with the reissue of 'Songs of Pain/More Songs of Pain' but I think 'Fun' was why I first heard of him ... it was being hyped at CMJ in '94 - can't underestimate the weight of major-label muscle behind you I guess
	12:18pm Listener Baby: Oy-by!
	12:18pm Dano59: ↳ MrDeb @12:14 Bloodshot Records put out a nice compilation of Spade Cooley tracks about 25 years ago that I don't think mentioned his more sordid history, just his musical one.
	12:19pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:18 Aaaah-BEY!
	12:19pm Kay_in_Chi: ↳ MrDeb @12:14 Good god. en.wikipedia.org... Rot in hell you piece of shit...
	12:21pm Hughie Considine: Sadly, many of our musical heroes did some horrible things. The excellent 500 Songs podcast paints a portrait of Brian Jones far more repellant than anything I've read.
	12:30pm Billybob: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:21 Didn't he have like 5 kids from 4 different women by the time he was 21?
	12:33pm Billybob: ↳ Kay_in_Chi @12:19 Yikes
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Billybob @12:30 No, he just got off on hurting women.
	12:35pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:21 I hadn’t known that and will have to look into it. But I still love the music even if the creator does bad stuff. A lot of those early blues guys were hard men who make hip hop feuds look pitiful.
	12:35pm Bob Barth: ↳ Dano59 @12:13 Shameless plug alert!! Just tryin to make sure that the LA based WFMU'rs know it exists! ;)
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:00 Hey, Jack! We were dining (feeding?) outside.
	12:38pm Amaryllis: I like it when Michael plays music
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Smokey Robotson...
	12:39pm McGroovey: ↳ Billybob @12:30 4 kids by 5 different women
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Amaryllis @12:38 Thanks!
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @12:35 It sucks to find out this stuff, but in most cases it doesn't get in the way of my enjoying the music. Every so often, someone's odiousness will get in the way. For some reason, Morrissey's later years have made me less likely to play my Smiths records.
	12:40pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Her Hair Is A Mess" by "Big Sandy And His Fly-Rit... my fave Big Sandy song (not least because I know someone just like this)
	12:41pm Billybob: But he did have 6 kids from 6 different women, too (I just looked it up). What a guy!
	12:43pm Dano59: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @12:35 I always try to separate the artist from the art otherwise I'd hate a lot of music I love
	12:44pm Billybob: ↳ McGroovey @12:39 LOL, that would make him actually magical 😆
	12:45pm Dano59: ↳ Billybob @12:41 Cornfed zine once did a chart of "The Most Marryin' Men in Country Music" - Steve Earle was way up there with six at the time. "They must be doing something right ... then doing something wrong" per editor Susan Clarke.
	12:46pm Mr. Jones: Did you all hear that? I'm thinking A.I.D.J.
	12:46pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Billybob @12:41 Noted. Somehow I missed that. Yes, a true prince in a Prince Valiant 'do.
	12:46pm Billybob: I think John Lennon and Jackson Browne have been known to hit their women on occasion. Joni Mitchell actually called Browne "the anti-Christ".
	12:46pm egould: Duke’s, Hellman’s, Blue Plate; same diff.
	12:46pm HyperDose: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:00 Hey Jack!
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: Michael, have you tried Vegenaise? I am a total convert -- and have converted others. Big fan!
	12:47pm Dano59: ↳ Squints @11:28 that's Micah Nelson onstage with Neil now. I wanted to see Nils too but this version of Crazy Horse is fan-freaking-tastic. (saw in Virginia, last Saturday)
	12:48pm oxnard: When I kept chickens, I made my own mayo.
	12:48pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:47 hmmm - I'll try - but, it's weird that many of that type of thing are SO expensive. We make it hard to eat healthy!
	12:48pm Hughie Considine: Is this two-syllable pronunciation of mayonnaise a regional thing? I'm more in the trisyllabic Louis Gossett Jr. school, as when he taunted Zack Mayo-Naise
	12:49pm Billybob: I just read a click-bait article about three mayos, Duke's being one, Hellman's another, and there was a Japanese mayo. They were all considered good, but in different applications.
	12:49pm goes211: Kewpie mayonnaise…yummy!
	12:49pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Dano59 @12:43 Yes
	12:49pm Frank In Queens: Vegenaise
	12:50pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:29 Nils was on the first few dates in April.
	12:50pm myron feld: Just tried Duke's for the first time -- I like it.
	12:50pm HyperDose: ↳ myron feld @12:50 I need to try it!
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:48 I think it's not much more than Hellman's? ~$5 a jar?
	12:51pm Greg in The Record Library: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:49 Just started buying that stuff- you really can't tell the difference.
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Billybob @12:49 People down here in the South are militant about the superiority of Duke's. I've also learned that Southerners don't like chewy foods as much as those in the North. They like biscuits. The bagels here are soft, like dough rings, and bialys? Fuggedabouddit.
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:50 I like the grapeseed-oil version -- upcycled from a wine-making by-product! Maybe Baby could start producing!
	12:52pm HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:50 Hellman's/Best Foods vegan mayo is great if you loathe eggy things
	12:52pm Billybob: In the west, Hellman's is called Best Foods. Same label, just a different word.
	12:52pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "G.T.O." by "Ronny And The Daytonas" I forgot to ask: ... anyone remember the "Kleiner GTI" Volkswagen commercial?
	12:53pm Hubig Pie: Mayo talk - just made some Hawaiian Mac salad with Kewpie. Muy bueno.
	12:55pm Dano59: "no mayo" on my sub orders recently. Oil & vinegar suffices nicely. I think avoiding white foods is my new nutritional rule of thumb
	12:55pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 They pronounce it MA-nays in Nola.
	12:55pm gf2002: Used to live on a chicken cutlet sandwich at Supreme's on Mass Ave in Boston, always asked for extra mayo because it was great mayo. A friend asked them what kind they used, they said Cains. I bought a jar at the store, and it was good but not the same as on the sandwich. I haven't had Cains mayo in 25 years or so, I buy the Aldi house brand now because it's good and affordable.
	12:56pm Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:51 the dough is less hard on the tooth, then
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:55 Seems like a 50/50 split. My parents wouldn't have it around, so I discovered it very late in life. Sometimes it's just the thing on a sandwich, that's for sure.
	12:57pm radioronan: Thanks Michael..cheers y'all!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @12:56 For sure. I happen to like putting a little effort into it!
	12:57pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Hickory Dickory Dock" by "Sam Ulano" Based on a true story
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Hickory Dickory Dock....OH!
	12:58pm KWilde: Rock!
	12:58pm HyperDose: ↳ Dano59 @12:55 A great mayo substitute you can get on your sub at the pizzeria is basil pesto. I don't mind paying $1 more for that deliciousness on a grilled chix
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: Another fine one in the books. Enjoy your weekend, fine people!
	12:58pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Hickory Dickory Dock" by "Sam Ulano" the record-making ethos in the '50s and '60s was "just looking for a hit" -- nothing too ridiculous was ever ruled out
	12:58pm HyperDose: Thanks, Michael!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~TY Always DJ MS ~
	12:59pm Bob Barth: Fantastic show Michael!!
	12:59pm Dano59: ↳ HyperDose @12:58 Indeed! also: guac
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael. Thanks!
	1:00pm Billybob: ↳ HyperDose @12:58 Both are bad if you're trying to keep your weight down. Nowadays, when I use mayo, it's the lo-cal kind (Hellman's). It's like 1/3rd the calories.
	10:17pm clarke: my power went out, so i have archived the portion of the show i missed. and i approve of this message.

	11:26am clarke: crystal math.
	11:28am Squints: Saw Neil Young & Crazy Horse last night at Great Woods or whatever the heck it's called now. They brought it quite nicely. Was hoping for Nils Lofgren but I forgot he's currently in Europe with That Other Guy. Steen-something. Anyway, we got the quite acceptable Lukas Nelson.
	11:28am Squints: ↳ Song: "Just a Little Bit Of You" by "Connie Smith" Wayne Newton could not be reached for comment.
	11:29am HyperDose: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:22 Greg! Picturing you warming up in the cage with doughnut weights on your bat

	11:30am clarke: it was the Tweeter Center for a minute.
	11:30am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:29 Nor did I until I saw clips of Bruce playing in Dublin.
	11:31am clarke: but YES: always gonna be Great Woods.
	11:31am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "We Got Our Bag'" by "Peggy Scott and Jo Jo Benson" Best uses of electric sitar in pop? "Band of Gold" has to be up there.

	11:31am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 Cry Like A Baby?? BABY!!!
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:31 Iconic!

	11:33am clarke: you got your bag, i got mine
	11:33am Hughie Considine: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:32 Vinnie Bell, who electrified the sitar, also electrified the bouzouki, which was less successful.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:32 it's that, in general, but also: trad dad.
	11:34am myron feld: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 B.J.'s "Hooked On A Feeling" -- the immortal Reggie Young! Who is most likely on "Cry Like A Baby" as well.

	12:03pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:02 "what's he mean 'we're done'?" - "done having fun!!!"
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:00 Hi Jack
	12:06pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "She Loves The Way They Love Her" by "Zombies, The" That "audience" is really "into it."
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:02 We've seen it actually -- went down well.
	12:09pm Dano59: ... enjoying today's show immensely, Michael. even the AI bumpers
	12:11pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Big Chief Boogie" by "Spade Cooley" check out the harrowing Spade Cooley episode of Cocaine & Rhinestones. backstories on previous tracks to follow
	12:12pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:02 yes
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @12:11 Indeed harrowing. Even Mr. Coe seemed unsettled in the recounting.
	12:12pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Your Gentle Way of Loving Me" by "Guilbeau And Pa... Uncle Tupelo / Coffee Creek did a real nice live version of 'Gentle Ways'
	12:13pm Dano59: ↳ Bob Barth @11:59 NO! (unless it's your show, in which case MAYBE!)
	12:14pm MrDeb: Wow. I was like "what is this racist bullshit?". Spade Cooley sounds like he was a real gem. "“Spade” Cooley was a virtuoso fiddler and Roy Rogers’ movie stand-in, who had six consecutive Top 10 hits and was considered Hollywood’s King of Western Swing. He was also a mean, jealous, paranoid, violent, alcoholic man who brutally murdered his wife in front of their daughter."
	12:17pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Love Wheel" by "Daniel Johnston" I fell for Daniel Johnston's schtick with the reissue of 'Songs of Pain/More Songs of Pain' but I think 'Fun' was why I first heard of him ... it was being hyped at CMJ in '94 - can't underestimate the weight of major-label muscle behind you I guess
	12:18pm Listener Baby: Oy-by!
	12:18pm Dano59: ↳ MrDeb @12:14 Bloodshot Records put out a nice compilation of Spade Cooley tracks about 25 years ago that I don't think mentioned his more sordid history, just his musical one.
	12:19pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:18 Aaaah-BEY!
	12:19pm Kay_in_Chi: ↳ MrDeb @12:14 Good god. en.wikipedia.org... Rot in hell you piece of shit...
	12:21pm Hughie Considine: Sadly, many of our musical heroes did some horrible things. The excellent 500 Songs podcast paints a portrait of Brian Jones far more repellant than anything I've read.
	12:30pm Billybob: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:21 Didn't he have like 5 kids from 4 different women by the time he was 21?
	12:33pm Billybob: ↳ Kay_in_Chi @12:19 Yikes
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Billybob @12:30 No, he just got off on hurting women.
	12:35pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:21 I hadn’t known that and will have to look into it. But I still love the music even if the creator does bad stuff. A lot of those early blues guys were hard men who make hip hop feuds look pitiful.
	12:35pm Bob Barth: ↳ Dano59 @12:13 Shameless plug alert!! Just tryin to make sure that the LA based WFMU'rs know it exists! ;)
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:00 Hey, Jack! We were dining (feeding?) outside.
	12:38pm Amaryllis: I like it when Michael plays music
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Smokey Robotson...
	12:39pm McGroovey: ↳ Billybob @12:30 4 kids by 5 different women
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Amaryllis @12:38 Thanks!
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @12:35 It sucks to find out this stuff, but in most cases it doesn't get in the way of my enjoying the music. Every so often, someone's odiousness will get in the way. For some reason, Morrissey's later years have made me less likely to play my Smiths records.
	12:40pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Her Hair Is A Mess" by "Big Sandy And His Fly-Rit... my fave Big Sandy song (not least because I know someone just like this)
	12:41pm Billybob: But he did have 6 kids from 6 different women, too (I just looked it up). What a guy!
	12:43pm Dano59: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @12:35 I always try to separate the artist from the art otherwise I'd hate a lot of music I love
	12:44pm Billybob: ↳ McGroovey @12:39 LOL, that would make him actually magical 😆
	12:45pm Dano59: ↳ Billybob @12:41 Cornfed zine once did a chart of "The Most Marryin' Men in Country Music" - Steve Earle was way up there with six at the time. "They must be doing something right ... then doing something wrong" per editor Susan Clarke.
	12:46pm Mr. Jones: Did you all hear that? I'm thinking A.I.D.J.
	12:46pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Billybob @12:41 Noted. Somehow I missed that. Yes, a true prince in a Prince Valiant 'do.
	12:46pm Billybob: I think John Lennon and Jackson Browne have been known to hit their women on occasion. Joni Mitchell actually called Browne "the anti-Christ".
	12:46pm egould: Duke’s, Hellman’s, Blue Plate; same diff.
	12:46pm HyperDose: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:00 Hey Jack!
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: Michael, have you tried Vegenaise? I am a total convert -- and have converted others. Big fan!
	12:47pm Dano59: ↳ Squints @11:28 that's Micah Nelson onstage with Neil now. I wanted to see Nils too but this version of Crazy Horse is fan-freaking-tastic. (saw in Virginia, last Saturday)
	12:48pm oxnard: When I kept chickens, I made my own mayo.
	12:48pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:47 hmmm - I'll try - but, it's weird that many of that type of thing are SO expensive. We make it hard to eat healthy!
	12:48pm Hughie Considine: Is this two-syllable pronunciation of mayonnaise a regional thing? I'm more in the trisyllabic Louis Gossett Jr. school, as when he taunted Zack Mayo-Naise
	12:49pm Billybob: I just read a click-bait article about three mayos, Duke's being one, Hellman's another, and there was a Japanese mayo. They were all considered good, but in different applications.
	12:49pm goes211: Kewpie mayonnaise…yummy!
	12:49pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Dano59 @12:43 Yes
	12:49pm Frank In Queens: Vegenaise
	12:50pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:29 Nils was on the first few dates in April.
	12:50pm myron feld: Just tried Duke's for the first time -- I like it.
	12:50pm HyperDose: ↳ myron feld @12:50 I need to try it!
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:48 I think it's not much more than Hellman's? ~$5 a jar?
	12:51pm Greg in The Record Library: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:49 Just started buying that stuff- you really can't tell the difference.
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Billybob @12:49 People down here in the South are militant about the superiority of Duke's. I've also learned that Southerners don't like chewy foods as much as those in the North. They like biscuits. The bagels here are soft, like dough rings, and bialys? Fuggedabouddit.
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:50 I like the grapeseed-oil version -- upcycled from a wine-making by-product! Maybe Baby could start producing!
	12:52pm HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:50 Hellman's/Best Foods vegan mayo is great if you loathe eggy things
	12:52pm Billybob: In the west, Hellman's is called Best Foods. Same label, just a different word.
	12:52pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "G.T.O." by "Ronny And The Daytonas" I forgot to ask: ... anyone remember the "Kleiner GTI" Volkswagen commercial?
	12:53pm Hubig Pie: Mayo talk - just made some Hawaiian Mac salad with Kewpie. Muy bueno.
	12:55pm Dano59: "no mayo" on my sub orders recently. Oil & vinegar suffices nicely. I think avoiding white foods is my new nutritional rule of thumb
	12:55pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 They pronounce it MA-nays in Nola.
	12:55pm gf2002: Used to live on a chicken cutlet sandwich at Supreme's on Mass Ave in Boston, always asked for extra mayo because it was great mayo. A friend asked them what kind they used, they said Cains. I bought a jar at the store, and it was good but not the same as on the sandwich. I haven't had Cains mayo in 25 years or so, I buy the Aldi house brand now because it's good and affordable.
	12:56pm Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:51 the dough is less hard on the tooth, then
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:55 Seems like a 50/50 split. My parents wouldn't have it around, so I discovered it very late in life. Sometimes it's just the thing on a sandwich, that's for sure.
	12:57pm radioronan: Thanks Michael..cheers y'all!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @12:56 For sure. I happen to like putting a little effort into it!
	12:57pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Hickory Dickory Dock" by "Sam Ulano" Based on a true story
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Hickory Dickory Dock....OH!
	12:58pm KWilde: Rock!
	12:58pm HyperDose: ↳ Dano59 @12:55 A great mayo substitute you can get on your sub at the pizzeria is basil pesto. I don't mind paying $1 more for that deliciousness on a grilled chix
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: Another fine one in the books. Enjoy your weekend, fine people!
	12:58pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Hickory Dickory Dock" by "Sam Ulano" the record-making ethos in the '50s and '60s was "just looking for a hit" -- nothing too ridiculous was ever ruled out
	12:58pm HyperDose: Thanks, Michael!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~TY Always DJ MS ~
	12:59pm Bob Barth: Fantastic show Michael!!
	12:59pm Dano59: ↳ HyperDose @12:58 Indeed! also: guac
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael. Thanks!
	1:00pm Billybob: ↳ HyperDose @12:58 Both are bad if you're trying to keep your weight down. Nowadays, when I use mayo, it's the lo-cal kind (Hellman's). It's like 1/3rd the calories.
	10:17pm clarke: my power went out, so i have archived the portion of the show i missed. and i approve of this message.
