	10:01pm Little Danny: Evenin' Kris, all
	10:01pm Uncle Michael: Someday I'm going to play three hours of Apache... Hi Kris.
	10:03pm Little Danny: Cool, only knew "That's When Happiness..." thru a coupla contemporaneous garage band versions
	10:03pm Kris Holmes: Hi guys!! I found a Kiwi 45 in a local Tejano store here yesterday
	10:04pm Kris Holmes: arranged & produced by a cousin of a lady i used to work with
	10:05pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, never heard that version before. I'm three episodes into Brokenwood and learning to understand Kiwi!
	10:06pm Kris Holmes: hahaha, the one i'm trying to bring back is the insult "egg"
	10:06pm Kris Holmes: or introduce here i guess is a better term for it
	10:08pm Rich in NC: Hey Kris, bring it home for me
	10:08pm Kris Holmes: Hi Rich
	10:08pm Little Danny: Translation of "egg" for dumb Americans please, Kris
	10:09pm Kris Holmes: when someone is being stupid or being a jerk, they are bing an "egg"
	10:11pm still b/p: I can’t get the fmu app til a phone hitch is cleared. I can’t listen on this phone without it, zat right, phone gurus?
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: Gene Chandler record...I'm guessing bassline courtesy of Richard Evans.
	10:16pm Little Danny: Texans are totally silly with panic when it comes to snow
	10:17pm Uncle Michael: Though not FROM NZ (merely a Canadian based there), I just discovered Tami Neilson.
	10:19pm Kris Holmes: Could be Richard Evans. Yep the grocery store was full on pre-storm apocalypse panic station last night. Tami is great!!
	10:20pm Uncle Michael: I'm spinning her this Friday.
	10:20pm Kris Holmes: awesome
	10:21pm Little Danny: Rainy Daze's That Acapulco Gold LP on Uni is actually pretty solid. Do you know it Kris?
	10:21pm Kris Holmes: hey guys, how/where do you "favourite"tracks as you're listening?
	10:22pm Kris Holmes: never had the LP Dan
	10:22pm northguineahills: pirouette that UM!
	10:22pm Uncle Michael: The star next to the track title on the playlist...
	10:23pm Kris Holmes: Ah I see it now, thanks!
	10:23pm MrFab: So that Johnny Thunder wasn't the New York Doll? I'm so confused!
	10:24pm Kris Holmes: ha, no, that's Johnny ThunderS!!
	10:25pm Uncle Michael: Johnny Thunder is not Johnny Thunders. Johnny Thunder is probably best known for "I'm Alive," which is just a monster.
	10:25pm Kris Holmes: or his big hit "Loop De Loop"
	10:27pm Uncle Michael: I'm Alive beats Loop De Loop 14-3 on FMU playlist appearances.
	10:29pm MrFab: Aaah, right! I actually had "Loop de Loop" on a fave childhood KTel comp "Goofy Greats."
	10:29pm Uncle Michael: Well, Dave Clark fucked up all by himself...and relegated himself to second rate awareness outside of the UK by totally misunderstanding how music distribution works.
	10:30pm Uncle Michael: That's probably a different song than the Johnny Thunder track, MrFab.
	10:31pm Uncle Michael: I'm wrong, it's the same song!
	10:31pm Rich in NC: More Wishbone Ash
	10:32pm Little Danny: "Trolley." You're not fully Americanized yet
	10:33pm Kris Holmes: That's because "I'm Alive" is 11 times better than "Loop De Loop"
	10:34pm MrFab: Nope, same one. I just looked it up: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Goofy-Greats/release/1607696 The fact that "Goofy Greats" was a much-played treasure instead of loving Van Halen and Kiss like the other boys probly says something about me.
	10:34pm Uncle Michael: It's 11 times better than 99% of all records ever made.
	10:35pm Uncle Michael: Dave Clark, from Wikipedia: "Between 1978 and 1993, none of their music was available to be purchased in any commercial format, as rights-holder Clark declined to licence the band's recordings." Can you imagine the impact of that?
	10:35pm Kris Holmes: ha, touche
	10:35pm Kris Holmes: what an idiot
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: So the fact that a lot of us came late to his catalog is entirely his doing. Anything that wasn't a perennial hit on oldies radio just disappeared from popular culture.
	10:37pm Kris Holmes: that's unbelievable almost
	10:38pm MrFab: Dave Clark's "Tequila"-inspired "Chaquita" is one of the all time great sleazy instros. Much recommended to fans of Link Wray, The Cramps, etc.
	10:39pm Uncle Michael: There are a lot of great DC5 instrumentals. "Theme With No Name" comes to mind.
	10:39pm Uncle Michael: Theme Without A Name*
	10:39pm Kris Holmes: i really like them
	10:41pm Little Danny: Damn this is (yet another) great Supremes track. New to me
	10:44pm Peter Mac: Kia ora, Kris, sounding good!
	10:46pm Uncle Michael: Springsteen has stated that the DC5 is why the E-Street Band had a saxophone.
	10:48pm Kris Holmes: that makes sense
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: Well, I'm gonna lay down. My body is hinting that it bight be coming down with some sort of bullshit. I'm gonna be pissed. On the other hand, it'll just about guarantee that I won't have this year's seasonal bullshit during Marathon.
	10:54pm Kris Holmes: alright Michael, good night.
	10:54pm Uncle Michael: I'll be listening. 'night.
	10:55pm Little Danny: Man I love this Big Maybelle
	10:56pm Kris Holmes: Dan, it's one of the greatest. Perfection.
	11:03pm northguineahills: Thanks Kris, I'm off! cheers y OOOs!
	11:03pm Kris Holmes: goodnight NGH, thanks for tuning in!
	11:23pm Sean B.: Hello Kris!, Thanx for the superb music and higher education you are bringing us tonight. God bless ya man.Top notch.
	11:24pm Kris Holmes: Thanks for tuning in Sean
	11:28pm geezerette: Late hello, Kris and all! Eddy Giles was just what I needed. Grateful for this mood.
	11:30pm Kris Holmes: Hi Geezerette. About to pick it up again after the break sorry. Thanks for tuning in though!
	11:31pm geezerette: I'm easy. :)
	11:38pm geezerette: 40 Floors so damn good!!!
	11:39pm Kris Holmes: a bit stalkerish in theme but agree, great sound
	11:46pm MrFab: I've aways thought there was something creepy about The Temptations "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me." Too bad Dennis Hopper never recorded it: "I'm gonna MAKE you love me, bwa ha ha!"
	11:47pm Kris Holmes: hahaha, a new sub genre, "Stalker Soul"
	11:53pm geezerette: Yeah, it was the sound I dug.
	11:56pm geezerette: So Doris Duke, Doris Day, and Daisy Duck walk into a bar...
	11:59pm Kris Holmes: Lol
