	12:03pm tim from champaign: Hello! Great start.
	12:04pm Carmichael: Almost sounds like Daniel Johnston.
	12:04pm G: That slightly out of tune upright piano miked kind of roomy adds to the authenticity of thos opening track...
	12:04pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Though for a kid, "a long long time ago" might be 15 minutes.
	12:05pm G: Macca's 77th bday, btw -- not coincidental in DJ choice, I guess

	12:06pm Krys O.: LOL! How a propos!
	12:07pm sphere: hello
	12:07pm eric in sodak: Never been to the Twin Cities.
	12:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay, happy birthday! Is there cake yet?
	12:08pm Krys O.: You mean Grand Funk Railroad, Carmichael.
	12:09pm G: You were emailed to bring the cake, Ken,
	12:10pm Tamar: Hello all! Yes, June 18 is Paul McCartney's birthday, so I will be indulging.
	12:11pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Tamar! Yay!
	12:11pm Carmichael: Whoops, I was thinking of Chad Allen.
	12:12pm Carmichael: It is also Apollo C Vermouth's birthday.
	12:13pm doctorjazz: Love this Hey Jude!
	12:13pm Marie: Hey, this is my least favored Beatles song but I love this version. Thanks for the great tunes, Tamar.
	12:13pm Mick: Am I remembering right that this was in the film version of The Unbearable Lightness of Being?
	12:14pm Marie: Actually, the Long and Winding Road is my least-liked Beatles song and I loved that version of it.
	12:14pm G: Mull of Kintyre was one of PM's biggest hits in the UK -- never did anything here, rarely on radio, But I'm not requesting -- happy to let it be haha
	12:16pm LaVa LaTweme: Loving it hi it’s James
	12:17pm G: @Mick: Yup. Wiki: "The film makes use of music by Leoš Janáček and also Marta Kubišová singing "Hey Jude" in Czech."
	12:17pm tim from champaign: @Marie - me too. The Beatles Long and Winding Road is too drippy for me. The Langley Schools version is just right.
	12:19pm Marie: @ Tim--yeah :>)
	12:20pm G: @tim,: I wonder if that's more on McCartney, or more on Spector being left with the sessions that he overlaid sweetening on?
	12:20pm Marie: I was listening to NPR and I had to shut it off. This is the perfect antidote.
	12:21pm sphere: So is it true that Lennon gave the Let It Be tapes to Spector?
	12:22pm Krys O.: Dancing at my desk!
	12:23pm Mick: @G: thanks! I have a soft spot for Clarence Wheeler and the Enforcers' version of Hey Jude as well
	12:23pm Websie: Hi Tamar!
	12:24pm tim from champaign: Hmmm, good question G. Maybe a combination. An already sappy song regardless of production, then add a little melodrama during the production phase....
	12:25pm G: @tim: I mean, McCartney specialized in sappy, for sure. But Spector pushed it further there haha
	12:26pm P-90: This has been some Tamarian goodness from minute one
	12:27pm Carmichael: Just heard of the Beatle-ettes a few months ago here on FMU!
	12:29pm Carmichael: There IS a Spector-less version of Winding Road out there somewhere. IIRC, Let It Be was re-released in its virgin form before it go all Philled up.
	12:29pm Carmichael: *got
	12:29pm Krys O.: Let It Be Naked
	12:30pm Krys O.: Oh, yeah! My fave Shocking Blue tune. Thanks!
	12:31pm P-90: Always loved this Shocking Blue track
	12:32pm tim from champaign: This Shocking Blue is a stomper.
	12:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Glad for the break here, I might've missed my boarding call at pdx. <3
	12:48pm Colin in Durham, England: I like this
	12:50pm Websie: good test
	12:50pm P-90: Yay! EAS test
	12:51pm Marie: I wonder how that EAS sound was arrived at
	12:53pm coelacanth∅: greetings Tamar and others
	12:53pm sphere: wow haven't heard this in forever.
	12:53pm Bas NL: Hi Tamar! Michelle Shocked! :D
	12:53pm Carmichael: Where you headed, Granny?
	12:54pm prudy: haven't heard Shocked in years....
	12:54pm Michael 98145: am i here yet?
	12:54pm scott: 'When I'm 64' played backwards with lyrics on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLDujnlj4zM
	12:54pm Michael 98145: love me Juana Molina
	12:55pm steveo: michelle shocked is 57, so not there yet
	12:55pm sim: Wow, some old Michelle Shocked! This was like one of the first albums (cassette tape, actually) that I bought.
	12:56pm Krys O.: The Thurston Lava Tube! Wow! I know 'em!
	12:56pm steveo: hi, great to hear you, Tamar
	12:57pm Listener Howard and the Cats: It's always so good to hear one of my favorite DJs back on the airwaves! <3
	1:09pm coelacanth∅: Michael @12.54 word
	1:10pm egould310: Hi! Nice set of music you put together. Good show. Making my working morning productive. Thanks.
	1:13pm G: "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey" -- one of the first 5-6 45s I ever bought as a kid. Won't Get Fooled Again was another...
	1:13pm Dr. Goot: Great to hear Macca on vinyl!
	1:13pm b wad: Melting my heart, Tamar. We met 20+ yrs ago at the record fair and the FMU holiday party. I had the biggest crush on you!
	1:16pm G: I was in living in England when McC put out "Give Ireland Back to the Irish." BBC wouldn't play it, duh, so I had to buy the 45 to even hear it. Quite the businessman, that PM haha
	1:19pm Tamar: Brought both Mull of Kintyre and Give Ireland Back to the Irish singles with me, so it may happen.
	1:20pm Michael 98145: enjoying this. yes.
	1:20pm kirk miller: Tiny Lights, yeah!
	1:20pm G: Whatever works for you, T. :-) Great so far...
	1:21pm Dr. Goot: Ah, it would be nice to hear the B side of Mull, "Girls School"!
	1:21pm coelacanth∅: this band stole my toy tambourine that i used on my drum kit in the 80s!
	1:21pm Tamar: And hello -- I see your comments, but not fast enough to reply much.
	1:23pm tim from champaign: I remember seeing this record (Hazel's Wreath) often at records stores in the late 80s.It's cool to finally hear it.
	1:23pm doctorjazz: Man, haven't heard Green Tambourine in cough years, fun to hear it again!
	1:24pm dale: fun show. i'll bet you'd dig the new seekers version of pinball wizard too tamar.
	1:26pm tim from champaign: Ooh, All Natural Lemon and Lime Flavors were a great band! Very cool to hear it again.
	1:26pm coelacanth: Jane Scarpantoni played with tiny lights when i knew them. went on to play with some "major players" they were fun live. they drew a smiley face on my tambourine, which worked for their image. i decided to not take it back.
	1:35pm dale: you know jane coelacanth? i dated her briefly in the mid 80s (she probably has not kind things to say about me). i remember sitting in benny tudino's often...
	1:40pm coelacanth: dale we were friendly but only because i was friends with the band in general. haven't seen her since sometime in the 80s. ...i wonder if we've met now!
	1:43pm coelacanth: i'm still friends with a guy who lived with Andy Demos then. lived in my car in a disused gas station next to their house and bathed there sometimes; cooked for everyone sometimes; jammed there... Jane seemed very shy
	1:45pm coelacanth: (Jane didn't live there, but the band sometimes congregated there)
	1:46pm Yes: really enjoying this set
	1:47pm dale: yeah, she seemed uncomfortable sometimes until she got to know you.
	1:49pm steveo: it's hard to out-beatle the beatles but i think RLJ is doing it
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: Marie @12.13 i always disliked that song but if you've never heard the "let it be...naked" version you might want to check it out. it's a different take -better vocals and none of phil spector's crap clogging it up.
	1:50pm Michael 98145: sweet
	1:50pm scott: Living still are the left-handed Beatles.
	1:51pm steveo: i didn't know about ringo because i never saw him hold a guitar
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: but his image is always reversed in photographs
	1:53pm scott: Duck Dunn of Stax played right, but was most sinister.
	1:53pm G: @scott: shh, it's a CIA conspiracy
	1:55pm steveo: lɘoɔ ,lol
	2:03pm Caroline: This cover of Michelle is too beautiful and impossible to Google
	2:11pm KevinfromBayRidge: Great to have you here, Ms. R. Sir Paul is in good hands. Definitely not " Muzak to my ears"!
	2:11pm Michael 98145: "Listening to Big Thief is like the feeling of looking at a dog and suddenly marveling that it is like you but very not like you; when you are accustomed to looking at a dog and thinking 'dog', watching Big Thief is like forgetting the word 'dog' and looking at that naked animal and getting much closer to it and how different it is to you." bandcamp.com
	2:15pm G: MoK -- lovely....
	2:17pm G: Gee, I wonder why US radio rock-station music directors didn't want this on their playlists in the late 70s, with bagpipes and everything haha
	2:18pm derp: This program has been delightful. Thank you.
	2:20pm G: ditto derp
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: i remember getting very tired of mull of kintyre being on the radio so much in the 70s (in the states). i guess it's all relative.
	2:22pm Stanley: The Mull of Kintyre is very beautiful. Me and Viccy were there for a holiday a couple of years back. I saw porpoises.
	2:22pm Stanley: And Hi
	2:23pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I recall Mull of Kintyre being on top 40 radio constantly in the SF bay area back in the day.
	2:24pm G: Depends on if you were listening to a soft station or similar a lot in 77. MoK was number one in the UK for nine weeks, and the biggest selling single of the year. It peaked on the US Billboard chart at 45.
	2:27pm G: Cover of another great early McC solo item...
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: 1977 i would've been listening to wnew-fm, mostly. i heard that song at least twice/day for quite a while. i don't know how much "album-oriented-rock" stations affected the "pop singles charts"
	2:28pm Michael 98145: ooh. Aimee.
	2:28pm steveo: i just had that wikipedia page and that was #45 on the billboard Adult Contemporary chart. i was contemporary but not adult and i don't recall hearing it at the time
	2:29pm Michael 98145: me, neither
	2:29pm eric in sodak: I think maybe this was the song John Lennon took offense to?
	2:29pm sphere: in 1977, i was reading Ranger Rick and listening to Tony Orlando and the Jackson Five.
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: -and i'd like to go to the mull of kintyre. i may or may not have a bit of scottish in me. i don't know how one forgets what one's ancestry is, but somehow my father didn't know for sure.
	2:33pm eric in sodak: There's a lot of dead men in The East River
	2:41pm doctorjazz: Awww, missed Aimee Mann, had to strep away (no one plays her on these parts). Do looks this Parchment Farm, gets the feel of the original.
	2:43pm Hopey Sockmonkey: This was such a weird single at the time.
	2:44pm Luisa24: Love all the Paul McCartney! Thanks!!
	2:44pm Andrea in Jersey City: Great show!
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Is they the Soldier off the Soldier String Quartet? He's the neurologist, no?
	2:45pm tim from champaign: Was Junior's Farm just a single upon original release? I forst became familiar with it from the Lee Harvey Oswald Band cover. This song a Let Me Roll It are the McCartney jams!
	2:45pm Mike Sin: Hi Tamar -- Nice surprise catching you on the airwaves today as I mosey around in the rain.
	2:47pm Hopey Sockmonkey: One of the best XTC songs ever.
	2:47pm prudy: love this XTC song!
	2:47pm tim from champaign: Super follow up! Thanks for the fun show today, Tamar!
	2:48pm sphere: thanks for everything, Tamar.
	2:48pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Tamar!
	2:49pm steveo: thanks Tamar!
	2:49pm Krys O.: Words got in the way....
	2:50pm G: coelacanth∅: If you know your parents' full names and where they lived as kids, it's 100% possible to work back in online genealogy sites now to the 1800s, and even get the transport/immigration record of the person who came over, and where they came from -- and even the UK censuses for the 1800s are online now. You can work back for whos/wheres/whens to the early/mid 1800s pretty easily now.
	2:50pm Michael 98145: thank you, Tamar. enjoyed this.
	2:51pm G: Ditto/tritto tx
	2:52pm Krys O.: @G: My father's hometown was wiped off the map by Stalin.
	2:54pm Krys O.: Such a wonderful show. Always great to hear you on the air, Tamar! Thanks and xxxooo
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: G that makes sense. it's possible my sister or one of her kids has done that already and no one's told me.
	2:55pm Planet Tyler: Thanks for celebrating Macca's bday!
	2:55pm Mick: Super show, Tamar! Thank you!
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tamar Great to hear you again! ...i think we're finally there.
	2:57pm Cool Runnings: Le fin du fin...a mon avis. Bien joue et merciii !
	2:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Tamar. Come back again soon!
	2:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Thanks for the fun tribute!
	2:59pm annie: james told me half an hour ago, you were on! so glad to catch you!
	3:00pm P-90: Many thanks Tamar
	3:03pm Andrea in Jersey City: Hey is for horses hi
	3:10pm Auburn, MI: Hello
	10:34am Marie: Hey Tamar, great show! I stored this away in my memory as a show to listen to when i could.

	12:53pm coelacanth∅: greetings Tamar and others
	12:53pm sphere: wow haven't heard this in forever.
	12:53pm Bas NL: Hi Tamar! Michelle Shocked! :D
	12:53pm Carmichael: Where you headed, Granny?
	12:54pm prudy: haven't heard Shocked in years....
	12:54pm Michael 98145: am i here yet?
	12:54pm scott: 'When I'm 64' played backwards with lyrics on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLDujnlj4zM
	12:54pm Michael 98145: love me Juana Molina
	12:55pm steveo: michelle shocked is 57, so not there yet
	12:55pm sim: Wow, some old Michelle Shocked! This was like one of the first albums (cassette tape, actually) that I bought.
	12:56pm Krys O.: The Thurston Lava Tube! Wow! I know 'em!
	12:56pm steveo: hi, great to hear you, Tamar
	12:57pm Listener Howard and the Cats: It's always so good to hear one of my favorite DJs back on the airwaves! <3
	1:09pm coelacanth∅: Michael @12.54 word
	1:10pm egould310: Hi! Nice set of music you put together. Good show. Making my working morning productive. Thanks.
	1:13pm G: "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey" -- one of the first 5-6 45s I ever bought as a kid. Won't Get Fooled Again was another...
	1:13pm Dr. Goot: Great to hear Macca on vinyl!
	1:13pm b wad: Melting my heart, Tamar. We met 20+ yrs ago at the record fair and the FMU holiday party. I had the biggest crush on you!
	1:16pm G: I was in living in England when McC put out "Give Ireland Back to the Irish." BBC wouldn't play it, duh, so I had to buy the 45 to even hear it. Quite the businessman, that PM haha
	1:19pm Tamar: Brought both Mull of Kintyre and Give Ireland Back to the Irish singles with me, so it may happen.
	1:20pm Michael 98145: enjoying this. yes.
	1:20pm kirk miller: Tiny Lights, yeah!
	1:20pm G: Whatever works for you, T. :-) Great so far...
	1:21pm Dr. Goot: Ah, it would be nice to hear the B side of Mull, "Girls School"!
	1:21pm coelacanth∅: this band stole my toy tambourine that i used on my drum kit in the 80s!
	1:21pm Tamar: And hello -- I see your comments, but not fast enough to reply much.
	1:23pm tim from champaign: I remember seeing this record (Hazel's Wreath) often at records stores in the late 80s.It's cool to finally hear it.
	1:23pm doctorjazz: Man, haven't heard Green Tambourine in cough years, fun to hear it again!
	1:24pm dale: fun show. i'll bet you'd dig the new seekers version of pinball wizard too tamar.
	1:26pm tim from champaign: Ooh, All Natural Lemon and Lime Flavors were a great band! Very cool to hear it again.
	1:26pm coelacanth: Jane Scarpantoni played with tiny lights when i knew them. went on to play with some "major players" they were fun live. they drew a smiley face on my tambourine, which worked for their image. i decided to not take it back.
	1:35pm dale: you know jane coelacanth? i dated her briefly in the mid 80s (she probably has not kind things to say about me). i remember sitting in benny tudino's often...
	1:40pm coelacanth: dale we were friendly but only because i was friends with the band in general. haven't seen her since sometime in the 80s. ...i wonder if we've met now!
	1:43pm coelacanth: i'm still friends with a guy who lived with Andy Demos then. lived in my car in a disused gas station next to their house and bathed there sometimes; cooked for everyone sometimes; jammed there... Jane seemed very shy
	1:45pm coelacanth: (Jane didn't live there, but the band sometimes congregated there)
	1:46pm Yes: really enjoying this set
	1:47pm dale: yeah, she seemed uncomfortable sometimes until she got to know you.
	1:49pm steveo: it's hard to out-beatle the beatles but i think RLJ is doing it
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: Marie @12.13 i always disliked that song but if you've never heard the "let it be...naked" version you might want to check it out. it's a different take -better vocals and none of phil spector's crap clogging it up.
	1:50pm Michael 98145: sweet
	1:50pm scott: Living still are the left-handed Beatles.
	1:51pm steveo: i didn't know about ringo because i never saw him hold a guitar
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: but his image is always reversed in photographs
	1:53pm scott: Duck Dunn of Stax played right, but was most sinister.
	1:53pm G: @scott: shh, it's a CIA conspiracy
	1:55pm steveo: lɘoɔ ,lol
	2:03pm Caroline: This cover of Michelle is too beautiful and impossible to Google
	2:11pm KevinfromBayRidge: Great to have you here, Ms. R. Sir Paul is in good hands. Definitely not " Muzak to my ears"!
	2:11pm Michael 98145: "Listening to Big Thief is like the feeling of looking at a dog and suddenly marveling that it is like you but very not like you; when you are accustomed to looking at a dog and thinking 'dog', watching Big Thief is like forgetting the word 'dog' and looking at that naked animal and getting much closer to it and how different it is to you." bandcamp.com
	2:15pm G: MoK -- lovely....
	2:17pm G: Gee, I wonder why US radio rock-station music directors didn't want this on their playlists in the late 70s, with bagpipes and everything haha
	2:18pm derp: This program has been delightful. Thank you.
	2:20pm G: ditto derp
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: i remember getting very tired of mull of kintyre being on the radio so much in the 70s (in the states). i guess it's all relative.
	2:22pm Stanley: The Mull of Kintyre is very beautiful. Me and Viccy were there for a holiday a couple of years back. I saw porpoises.
	2:22pm Stanley: And Hi
	2:23pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I recall Mull of Kintyre being on top 40 radio constantly in the SF bay area back in the day.
	2:24pm G: Depends on if you were listening to a soft station or similar a lot in 77. MoK was number one in the UK for nine weeks, and the biggest selling single of the year. It peaked on the US Billboard chart at 45.
	2:27pm G: Cover of another great early McC solo item...
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: 1977 i would've been listening to wnew-fm, mostly. i heard that song at least twice/day for quite a while. i don't know how much "album-oriented-rock" stations affected the "pop singles charts"
	2:28pm Michael 98145: ooh. Aimee.
	2:28pm steveo: i just had that wikipedia page and that was #45 on the billboard Adult Contemporary chart. i was contemporary but not adult and i don't recall hearing it at the time
	2:29pm Michael 98145: me, neither
	2:29pm eric in sodak: I think maybe this was the song John Lennon took offense to?
	2:29pm sphere: in 1977, i was reading Ranger Rick and listening to Tony Orlando and the Jackson Five.
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: -and i'd like to go to the mull of kintyre. i may or may not have a bit of scottish in me. i don't know how one forgets what one's ancestry is, but somehow my father didn't know for sure.
	2:33pm eric in sodak: There's a lot of dead men in The East River
	2:41pm doctorjazz: Awww, missed Aimee Mann, had to strep away (no one plays her on these parts). Do looks this Parchment Farm, gets the feel of the original.
	2:43pm Hopey Sockmonkey: This was such a weird single at the time.
	2:44pm Luisa24: Love all the Paul McCartney! Thanks!!
	2:44pm Andrea in Jersey City: Great show!
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Is they the Soldier off the Soldier String Quartet? He's the neurologist, no?
	2:45pm tim from champaign: Was Junior's Farm just a single upon original release? I forst became familiar with it from the Lee Harvey Oswald Band cover. This song a Let Me Roll It are the McCartney jams!
	2:45pm Mike Sin: Hi Tamar -- Nice surprise catching you on the airwaves today as I mosey around in the rain.
	2:47pm Hopey Sockmonkey: One of the best XTC songs ever.
	2:47pm prudy: love this XTC song!
	2:47pm tim from champaign: Super follow up! Thanks for the fun show today, Tamar!
	2:48pm sphere: thanks for everything, Tamar.
	2:48pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Tamar!
	2:49pm steveo: thanks Tamar!
	2:49pm Krys O.: Words got in the way....
	2:50pm G: coelacanth∅: If you know your parents' full names and where they lived as kids, it's 100% possible to work back in online genealogy sites now to the 1800s, and even get the transport/immigration record of the person who came over, and where they came from -- and even the UK censuses for the 1800s are online now. You can work back for whos/wheres/whens to the early/mid 1800s pretty easily now.
	2:50pm Michael 98145: thank you, Tamar. enjoyed this.
	2:51pm G: Ditto/tritto tx
	2:52pm Krys O.: @G: My father's hometown was wiped off the map by Stalin.
	2:54pm Krys O.: Such a wonderful show. Always great to hear you on the air, Tamar! Thanks and xxxooo
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: G that makes sense. it's possible my sister or one of her kids has done that already and no one's told me.
	2:55pm Planet Tyler: Thanks for celebrating Macca's bday!
	2:55pm Mick: Super show, Tamar! Thank you!
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tamar Great to hear you again! ...i think we're finally there.
	2:57pm Cool Runnings: Le fin du fin...a mon avis. Bien joue et merciii !
	2:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Tamar. Come back again soon!
	2:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Thanks for the fun tribute!
	2:59pm annie: james told me half an hour ago, you were on! so glad to catch you!
