	12:03pm Hughie Considine: Wow, great to hear you, Michael. Plenty of hooks will follow! And hey, it's a different show so there's no reason for him to play Pseu's theme. I mean, come on, Michael's gonna do Michael.

	12:10pm YETI BOB: (I usually hear your show on weekends, when I'm not at my computer, so I've never seen this page before)
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: Frank Bango opened for Jonathan Richman in at least one recent tour.
	12:12pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Michael! You gotta admit that Elliott Smith made the best fake Big Star songs this side of Teenage Fanclub!

	12:18pm Baby: Wayne Hancock Thunderstorms and Neon Signs?
	12:18pm Gaylord Fields: @Gordon FM: Olá, meu amigo! Tudo bem?
	12:19pm MFlynn: If requests are at all possible Michael, would love to hear anything Nick Lowe, particularly from that great live show released recently.
	12:20pm Rich Kemp: A Jon Brion record must be followed by Aimee Mann. It's practically law.
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: Will do!
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: cousins
	12:21pm Hughie Considine: I think pfans of Pseu's show would dig some Bucky, @Michael

	12:34pm happymaan: Hey Michael, great hearing on a Thursday!
	12:34pm Joe B: prefer reverse order for those who join a set in progress
	12:35pm ratso: I'd love it if you guys just back announced randomly. adds an element of challenge and mystery.
	12:36pm Gaylord Fields: @Gordon FM: Ótimo! Mal posso esperar!
	12:37pm ron in S FL: Bill Nelson! thanks Michael
	12:37pm Krys O.: If I recall correctly, John Narucki hated to go on mic to do his playlist, reverse or otherwise.
	12:40pm dougseidel: thanks for good show Micheal
	12:40pm dougseidel: coincides with my mood being super good
	12:42pm WO Town Wick: Digging the infectious bass and keyboards of this Mondo 77
	12:42pm Woo: I like the Mondo 77
	12:44pm myron feld: Brimful of Asha is as #1 as you can get
	12:45pm Jennica: @Michael Shelley - Where have you been all my life?
	12:45pm steveo: Funny myron, I was about to paste this: "originally reached number 60 on the UK Singles Chart in 1997. After a remixed version by Norman Cook became a radio and critical success, the song was re-released and reached number one on the UK chart"
	12:45pm ratso: I just heard this song on an episode of Friends. Lockdown made for weird lunchtimes.
	12:46pm mariano: Michael, pleasant surprise! Afternoon everyone.
	12:48pm Listener Bop Monroe: greetings from Tannersville. cool sets for a blazing afternoon. too hot to move... but tapping me feet!
	12:48pm jmd: Hey Michael. Nice to hear you on a different day!
	12:48pm Gaylord Fields: @GordonFM: Please email me about the best way and format to get music to me. Muito obrigado!
	12:48pm Baja Joe: Cool faster version of "Brim Full..." That's a record I wore down.
	12:51pm dougseidel: great snare sound on this alex chilton - wow
	12:52pm Bill in W.O.: Cornershop's record from this spring is quite good, a favorite so far this 2020. Michael, your description of Jon Brion made me think of Brad Jones.
	12:53pm Alvy Singer: @Listener Bop Monroe- You guys in the Pennsylvania Mountains aren't used to this kinda heat.
	12:53pm Joe B: yeah! memphis two for thursday!
	12:54pm YETI BOB: @Bill in W.O.: Cornershop is still making records? I have to look into this!
	12:54pm Power Papi: "Feel Alright'--the best song Big Star never recorded.
	12:55pm kpx: Hey Michael, I don't suppose there's a chance that you're going to play a song by this new and upcoming redhead teenage singer by the name of... Mmm, What was her name . ju...ju...niper JUNPER!, That Was it!. ever hear of her?.
	12:55pm ratso: Nice little write-up here from 2003 explaining the significance of the lyrics of Brimful of Asha: www.cornershop.com...
	12:56pm Bill in W.O.: @YETI B. Titled ENGLAND IS A GARDEN, FWIW.
	12:56pm Listener Bop Monroe: yep, got that right cuz we're in the NY catskills :-)
	12:56pm Steve: Michael, can I ask you a question about Bo Diddley?
	12:56pm ratso: I think DJ's have played new Cornershop recently.
	12:57pm Gaylord Fields: @kpx: He's not allowed to, as per WFMU's conflict of interest policy.
	12:58pm Joe B: the new Cornershop made the rounds at FMU - Evan Clay, McGasko, Todd etc
	12:58pm Joe B: No. 1 hit from the Plimsouls!
	12:59pm Steve: Yeah, Plimsouls!
	12:59pm prudy: loving the Plimsouls...haven't heard this song in years...
	12:59pm ratso: Well you DID say ALL POP. dayum!
	12:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: Just a perfect song by every measure, including heartbeat rate.
	1:00pm myron feld: Super super #1 song here, and featured in "Valley Girl!"
	1:00pm eastvanhalen: Joining the "hey, Plimsouls!" chorus. This is so much fun.
	1:00pm Woo: I wish I was driving my car listening to this song.
	1:00pm mariano: Hey, from the "Valley Girl" soundtrack!
	1:01pm Michael Shelley: Steve - I will make a rare exception, what is your question?
	1:03pm Joe B: it's a slippery slope to all lower case playlist entries ...
	1:03pm Steve: Is it just me or was Bo Diddley's 'Bo's Bounce' way ahead of its' time in terms of innovation in how he manipulated his guitar on that track ?
	1:03pm Hughie Considine: The Sounds stickers are un-removable!! One time it looked OK -- on the Replacements' Tim, because same shade of pink.
	1:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I still can't figure out how I'd never seen Valley Girl until just a few years ago.
	1:04pm Woo: I have a couple of LPs that still have the department store price tag stapled to them.
	1:04pm listener monica: i am sooo loving your show !!
	1:05pm mariano: Bob Kildea was Belle & Sebastian's bass player I thought. 20 years ago at least. Met him a couple of times, nice guy.
	1:06pm YETI BOB: I was browsing used records and I found one with a Korvette's sticker on it. They had a weird system where the records didn't have prices - the stickers were color-coded with a letter ("E", "G", etc) and there was a chart hanging up that decoded the prices. Anyone else remember that?
	1:06pm Pauly from Clifton: Michael! What a treat to hear you on Thursday! I hope it's a double dose of the show this week.
	1:06pm kpx: @Gaylord, Hmm, well that's the way that cookie crumbles. speaking about cookies have you still been baking them. or was it some kind of donuts that I've seen people breaking your chops about. I forget why they were doing that?.
	1:07pm Steve: I remember that well, Yeti Bob. They had the best sale prices
	1:07pm Gaylord Fields: No baking anymore. Not enough people to eat them.
	1:07pm Joe B: Plimsouls were on Terre T's show, 2006: wfmu.org...
	1:08pm Gaylord Fields: @kpx: And why? People are weird.
	1:09pm Michael Shelley: THANKS, JOE! I knew it was in there somewhere...
	1:09pm Michael Shelley: STEVE = Bo was from another planet - possibly sent from the future.
	1:11pm Joe B: I saw the Plimsouls three times in 2006 alone and they were fantastic. Buyer beware - Eddie Munoz still plays under the Plimsouls banner but with a rotating cast of players/singers. It's usually really good but Peter Case is usually not involved. end public service announcement
	1:11pm Listener Bop Monroe: we had an EJKorvettes off the Belt Pkwy in Bklyn. Did not know until after it closed the name referred to 'Eight Jewish Korean Vets'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._J._Korvette i got a nice bicycle but no records from them. '74.
	1:12pm Carmichael: This should be the Kinks, but it's not. So there.
	1:12pm Rick from SC: This Leopards song reminds me of the Kinks
	1:12pm mariano: Ahh, Cherry Blossom Clinic, sorely missed. Perfect Saturday afternoon show.
	1:13pm jt: The Leopards, "I Wonder If I'll Ever See You Again" so nice! Ray Davies cousin?
	1:13pm Carmichael: Rick, you owe my a pepsi.
	1:13pm mariano: That did sound like Ray Davies, didn't it?
	1:13pm Hughie Considine: The first Cukes LP was really fantastic.
	1:14pm ratso: @Yeti Bob, I think a few discount department stores used the letter system (maybe Two Guys?). This way they didn't have to relabel for price changes. just change the signs. @Bop, didn't know that! good trivia.
	1:14pm Hughie Considine: Saw them at Maxwell's, with Ira the K behind the board.
	1:14pm henry: holy crap, i saw the Cucumbers at the 40 Watt in thel late 80s...
	1:14pm Rick from SC: Too funny
	1:14pm doctorjazz: Love this Cucumber track, have the vinyl somewhere at home. Hi all!
	1:15pm Woo: Cucumbers is new to me and it is fantastic.
	1:15pm Listener Bop Monroe: ....but it was an urban legend... sorry. According to Korvette's founder, Eugene Ferkauf, who died on June 5, 2012, the name "E. J. Korvette" was coined as a combination of the initials of its founders (Eugene and Joe) and a re-spelling of the naval term corvette, a nimble sailing warship and later World War II sub-destroyer. The company's founding in 1948 (two years before the Korean War) disproves the urban legend that the name was an acronym for "Eight (or Eleven) Jewish Korean War Veterans".
	1:16pm ratso: well now i'm disappointed.
	1:17pm kpx: I just remembered seeing that color code pricing at Walmart.
	1:17pm Joe B: @woo - seek out the cucumbers' great cover of all shook up
	1:19pm myron feld: And I just remembered I saw the Plimsouls in 1982 at Beverly Hills High, in the gym with the floor that opens to reveal the swimming pool as seen in "It's A Wonderful Life."
	1:19pm Krys O.: @Yeti Bob: We did the same at Crazy Eddie's records. Having a letter/color code meant that we didn't have to relabel with sale prices, simply change the signs.
	1:19pm Carmichael: Rick sounds like Darryl and John.
	1:22pm David: The Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo Rick Derringer?
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Used to love going to Sounds, up those steps on St Marks.
	1:25pm Krys O.: The McCoys could have influenced Hall & Oates.
	1:25pm Michael Shelley: MYRON - who else on the bill
	1:26pm Dennis Diken: diggin' the show big time Mikey!
	1:26pm Rick from SC: I don't remember this Monkees tune, but it sure reminds me of later XTC
	1:27pm ratso: Yay, Monkees! great tune. Andy Partridge penned.
	1:27pm Michael Shelley: written by Andy Partridge! BINGO
	1:27pm Tim In SF: Chips and Root Beer? I'm in. Bring the summer on.
	1:28pm kpx: I hope this monkees tune becomes a regularly permanent played summer song.
	1:29pm ratso: Thanks for this awesome fill-in, Michael. Getting off the comments board to go sweat and mow. But this show in the headphones will make it bearable.
	1:30pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Michael Shelly and friends!
	1:30pm myron feld: @Michael Shelley -- I don't recall, sorry.
	1:31pm Buddha of Suburbia: Michael Shell"e"y
	1:32pm Gordon FM: @Gaylord Email Sent!
	1:32pm efd: I was just thinking, it's interesting (in a good way!) to hear this show vs. the Michael Shelley Show proper. Sounding good!
	1:35pm queems: i just got home from my stupid job so that’s cool
	1:35pm Joe B: Not sure if I should go looking for this: In 2017, Derringer collaborated with the baseball players Tom Seaver and Gary Redus to release a version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"
	1:36pm kpx: Hey there Buddha!
	1:36pm efd: @Joe, that sounds like it could be... ungood.
	1:36pm queems: fyi if you’re thinking about driving to/from the city via gwb, reconsider
	1:37pm David Shortell: I guess naming that Byrds instrumental "Stranger In A Strange Land" was David Crosby's idea, considering that Heinlein novel inspired his rejected Byrds song (and accepted Jefferson Airplane song) "Triad".
	1:39pm Joe B: Crosby is the songwriter for that one
	1:39pm David Shortell: @efd Double plus ungood, maybe?
	1:39pm ?: the tests are contaminated with the virus world wide. hence the original "delay" in initial testing referred to as a "glitch" contaminated CDC tests. President of Tanzania tested vegetables/animals and got positives back because he knew the tests were comped and was showing it to the world who is blind with fear.. look it up!
	1:39pm Listener Bop Monroe: jonesy played a version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Carly Simon this week with all the lyrics. Lets go Mets.
	1:40pm BH: (wouldn't the positive % be higher if the tests were contaminated?)
	1:43pm Steve Harsh: Kurt Baker has the most hooks, good call
	1:43pm kpx: this guy sounds a lot like Elvis Costello.
	1:44pm queems: question mark has their finger on the pulse of science
	1:44pm Jennica: @kpx: I had the exact same thought.
	1:45pm Lizardner Dave 2: @queems but do the rest of the Mysterians agree?
	1:46pm queems: @lizardner dave lololollololo
	1:47pm RGD4music: Enjoying the show today !!!!
	1:48pm YETI BOB: @?: My test and my wife's test came back negative. I guess we are not vegetables!
	1:49pm kpx: @Jennica, am I wrong or does this guy also sounds a lot like Elvis Costello.
	1:50pm Michael Shelley: @? - Why not post with your real name? I'm not sure I understand your point... Do you not belive more people have the virus this week than last?
	1:53pm Woo: Can we just dance? Let's just dance.
	1:53pm Feldpausch: I absolutely LOVE this Rufus Wainwright song. It's so hard to find
	1:54pm BH: pretty sure the argument for this not being a peak of infections involves "the testing wasn't plentiful enough to make April the peak"... but I suspect that some people aren't going to make that argument.
	1:56pm Power Papi: That Tanzanian president is a piece of work: www.theguardian.com...
	1:57pm Listener Bop Monroe: trust the science when the facts stare you in the facemask. ignore the ignorant. let them eat bleach. ...sorry, wont go there again.
	1:57pm Joe McG: Wow, the same guy who wrote that Rufus Wainwright song wrote Taylor Dayne's big hits! Nice to hear you today, Michael!
	1:59pm Montmaster J: Hey! Wish I had tuned in earlier!
	2:00pm Power Papi: Seltzer? Is that what you call Club Soda back East?
	2:01pm Jennica: @Power Papi - It can also be a tonic.
	2:01pm βrian: I always knew it as just "soda."
	2:02pm Joe B: Yes, Kurt Baker Band played on Three Chord Monte in 2015, and the Kurt Baker Combo on Todd-o-phonic Todd show in 2018
	2:02pm kpx: Mark Bacino not quite as much as kurt Baker, but still very Costello.
	2:02pm Listener Bop Monroe: club soda has salts, seltzer (2 cents plain) is just CO2 & water. i LOVE seltzer.
	2:03pm BH: I suspect "the tests we've bought for America are actually wildly inaccurate" isn't exactly a winning argument for the people running things
	2:04pm Peter: Adam Sandler movie you're thinking of is Big Daddy
	2:04pm deborah: Fun song; don't remember ever hearing it.
	2:05pm Gaylord Fields: "I Don't Wanna Cry" is on my short list of favorite power pop tunes ever ever. Love love love every single thing about it, including the Wings/Joe Jackson connection!
	2:07pm Tim In SF: Lookin'Sharp
	2:07pm eastvanhalen: Joe! I love this guy.
	2:07pm Faux Jean: Hey, loving this show. Thank you. Also, this is a happy coincidence as I heard Sue play “I’m Sticking with My Henry” a few weeks back, which I loved and played for my son, Henry, and then proceeded down a Michael Shelley rabbit hole.
	2:07pm Montmaster J: Saw Joe at Town Hall last year.....really good show, great band. He's also really funny.
	2:07pm Carmichael: Look Sharp and I'm the Man were 2 great LPs.
	2:08pm Hughie Considine: I think the first single off Look Sharp was "Got the Time," which got a lot of airplay on WPIX in NYC -- that Graham Maby bass line jis ust absolutely lapel-grabbing.
	2:09pm Carmichael: The bass is always more of a lead with Jackson.
	2:10pm Peter from Dover NJ: Hello everyone. Listener Bop Monroe, I love seltzer too. Got tired of recycling plastic bottles tho. Great show, Michael.
	2:10pm Hughie Considine: Dang, here's another WPIX classic. Ric Ocasek produced, I think
	2:10pm deborah: @Feldpausch Love anything by Rufus Wainright who is so underplayed.
	2:10pm Power Papi: Mike is killing it today.
	2:10pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hey everybody
	2:11pm Krys O.: @queems: A finger on the pulse of vegetables.
	2:11pm Krys O.: Nice blast from the past with the Ian Lloyd. Thanks!
	2:11pm Montmaster J: Hey Mike, remember when we saw Marshall Crenshaw (with Graham Maby and Kenny Aronoff) somewhere...and Joe was in the audience? Good times.
	2:11pm Woo: Is this the singer from Stories?
	2:12pm Michael Shelley: Bottom Line - great show!
	2:12pm Bootsie: This Ian Lloyd is new to me... and I am LOVING it!
	2:12pm Montmaster J: Yes!!!!
	2:13pm Krys O.: @Woo: yup
	2:13pm Krys O.: And now Bram! YES!
	2:13pm eastvanhalen: Ohhhhhh, I haven't heard this Bram in a while.
	2:14pm Frank Zaatar: Wow, somehow I'm working at my day job in 1979 and listening to WNEW. I wish I could afford Fiorucci--oh well, back to Manic Panic.
	2:14pm Hughie Considine: That's three in a row from the golden age of the late '70s not quite defined era I love so much. If "Starry Eyes" by the Records comes on, I'll plotz.
	2:14pm Gaylord Fields: Bram is another WPIX hit (and actual chart hit, too).
	2:14pm Carmichael: Bram! Wow, it's been a LONG time. This was also an incredible album.
	2:14pm Steve Harsh: 1979 - the year that changed my life
	2:14pm Krys O.: Or some Motors, Hughie.
	2:15pm Montmaster J: Or What I like about You
	2:15pm Carmichael: I think The Records are coming up soon. Or The Vapors.
	2:16pm Steve Harsh: It could only be The Records
	2:16pm Steve: Been a long time since I heard this fab Bram Tchaikovsky hit !
	2:16pm Hughie Considine: Airport! @Krys O
	2:17pm Carmichael: Or The Motels.
	2:18pm Krys O.: @Hughie: A fab gear Motors song!
	2:18pm myron feld: more WPIX! Is Joe from Chicago there?
	2:18pm Bootsie: What a great set!
	2:18pm Steve: I think this Sinceros hit was on a New Wave comp double LP back then ?
	2:19pm efd: omg, the Sinceros!!
	2:19pm Listener Bop Monroe: good gosh, it's WPIX-FM & i'm dancing (BY MYSELF hint hint) at Webster Hall on a monday nite. look, there's pete townsend!
	2:19pm efd: oh jeez, and I missed "Slip Away" and "Look Sharp." Now I'm mad.
	2:19pm Hughie Considine: To be sure, @Krys O - "Love and Loneliness" too!
	2:19pm Krys O.: Having high school flashbacks.
	2:20pm Montmaster J: I'm 14 again.
	2:20pm Hughie Considine: @Michael, can you tell that you're killing it?
	2:20pm eastvanhalen: Oh, Mick Jones, what have you wrought
	2:20pm Krys O.: Used to go to the Ritz on a regular basis and Joe Jackson was always there towering above the crowd.
	2:21pm listener 126464: PIX Penthouse Party
	2:21pm eastvanhalen: Volume up.
	2:21pm Bootsie: ヽ(´▽`)/
	2:21pm myron feld: I strongly recommend Viv Albertine's (the subject of this song) book "Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys" and the followup "To Throw Away Unopened."
	2:21pm eastvanhalen: Work break, living room dance party.
	2:22pm Power Papi: ok, I'm dead.
	2:22pm eastvanhalen: Me too
	2:22pm Bootsie: *INCOHERENT SCREAMING*
	2:23pm Krys O.: Yes, Viv Albertine is still amazing as is Vivien Goldman.
	2:23pm sufferwords: ah the true sounds of summer
	2:23pm eastvanhalen: Why yes, I wrote "I don't want to live in a dream I want something real" on my bedroom wall when I was a teenage punk
	2:23pm Steve Harsh: Not just Buzzcocks, but THAT Buzzcocks. Such a fine selection.
	2:24pm Hughie Considine: Recently read "Brave New World" and hadn't realized the phrase "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" comes from Huxley's book.
	2:24pm eastvanhalen: In sharpie
	2:27pm johnk77: outstanding work @mikeshelley joe jackson liked to go out in the eighties in nyc he came by s.o.b.'s quite often i was told he then lived on king street nice guy/very tall pro-cigarette smoking
	2:28pm efd: jeez, I was living on 5th Avenue in Park Slope around that time (maybe) - early '90s.
	2:28pm Hughie Considine: At least Joe didn't say, "Don't you know who I am? I'm the man!"
	2:29pm BH: "Would you say that Joe Jackson was Stepping Out after you told him he couldn't smoke in your bar" audience shakes their heads quietly
	2:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Hughie: But he did say to Michael, "Me, babe, steppin' out!"
	2:29pm Gaylord Fields: @BH: Jinx!
	2:30pm Krys O.: I read that Joe Jackson moved to Berlin for a while.
	2:31pm Michael Shelley: EFD - did you ever encounter a standoffish bartender with great music playing?
	2:32pm Joe B: the NYC no smoking law was circa 2002/2003
	2:32pm johnk77: chrissie another big tobacco user in the 80s she would allow hashish to be mixed in whilst smoking w/the crew;>
	2:32pm Mike Sin: Late to the party here, but a nice surprise finding a Michael Shelley fill in!
	2:32pm patrick321: I lived on King / 6th Ave corner from 79-96. JJ came into the bar/bistro place under my apt often. Really kept to himself so I never spoke to him.
	2:33pm efd: @Michael not that I recall, but then I've never been much of a bar-goer.
	2:33pm Carmichael: That's a British thing, johnk77.
	2:33pm Woo: 2020 Pretenders sound great.
	2:33pm efd: Also I'm alarmed to realize it was a lot closer to 30 years ago than 20 when I was living there
	2:34pm Montmaster J: @Krys....yeah I think he moved there so he could smoke. For real.
	2:35pm Hughie Considine: @Gaylord, as Joe's about to leave, a high school senior glides in on rollerblades and she lights up a cigarette. A vein on Joe's head begins to throb. And Michael says, "Don't you know that it's different for girls?"
	2:37pm Michael Shelley: I worked there 1994ish to 2000ish - Wildgirl got me the job!
	2:39pm dk50b: Train in Vain was meant to be a free flexi-disc giveaway from NME. Was written and recorded at end of London Calling sessions, NME deal collapsed, so decided to tack onto London Calling. Since cover art/track listing was done too late to include there. First Clash song to break US top 30. web.archive.org...
	2:39pm efd: ah, I was on to Bay Ridge by that point. Where on 5th? I was between 3rd and 4th Streets.
	2:39pm Pseu Braun: Great job, Michael! Listening from home, PC dead... Hope to be up and running next week. Thanks for taking the load off and providing the hooks!
	2:40pm Joycek: I remember Joe playing on SNL in the mid-80s. Producers told him he had a 3 minute slot so he and the band stopped abruptly in the middle of a song and he sneered "3 minutes!" Cut to commercial.
	2:40pm Pseu Braun: HAHA Thanks for the Twigs!
	2:41pm dk50b: Michael assume you've heard The Rabies sizzling cover of Somebody Got Murdered
	2:43pm Listener Bop Monroe: sorry EFD but Bay Ridge begins at 69th St. 3/4th St'd be Park Slope, a cool place either way.
	2:43pm Gaylord Fields: @Hughie: Haha! JJ/MS fanfic!
	2:44pm efd: @Listener Bop I know, I moved from Park Slope to Bay Ridge
	2:44pm deborah: Fabulous show, Michael! Thank you.
	2:46pm Listener Bop Monroe: re-read. my bad. (we were 81st off off Ridge Blvd.) 3 Jolly Pidgeons is still there!
	2:46pm Jennica: I was at that bar.
	2:47pm johnk77: thanks again selecter with all this commentary i feel the need to go into the backyard for a non-tobacco herbal blessing after the show is over
	2:48pm efd: @Listener Bop not sure I ever went in there, but I remember passing that spot often! I was at 3rd Ave and 100th St, then 72nd St just off Shore Road
	2:48pm Bootsie: The Shat!
	2:49pm Brian in New Orleans: Oh shit!
	2:49pm dk50b: Chrissie Hynde's hard to understand politics might mean the title isn't aimed at the obvious targets
	2:49pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Our cat is named The Common People but not after the song.
	2:49pm Rocky Mountains: Hell yes, Shatner’s the shit.
	2:50pm Krys O.: Shatner is nearly 90!
	2:50pm Bootsie: @Krys and still sharp as a tack!
	2:50pm Listener Baby: Wow Baby. You said so, and you did. Pop Phasers on Stun!
	2:51pm Steve Harsh: Really great show Michael, many thanks. Catch you Saturday
	2:51pm dk50b: Shatner not the most tolerant person per George Takei, but hey that was perfectly acceptable then
	2:52pm Rocky Mountains: Great show, regular listener of both your programs. Pseu plays Juniper regularly, please play some Juniper!
	2:52pm Krys O.: @Bootsie: Indeed. I follow him on Twitter.
	2:52pm Listener Bop Monroe: Cap'n Catheter EFD that liquor store is still at 100/3rd too!
	2:52pm efd: wow, good for them!
	2:52pm Listener Robert: I sure hope that's not a true story. It would mean some lady made a single awkward statement, had it taken badly, and got an awful rebuke.
	2:53pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Fab power pop today Michael this show is a real treat today!!!
	2:53pm Power Papi: Mike makes my jeans explode!!
	2:53pm Krys O.: My sis lived in Park Slope in the early 80s and I used to hang out there and in Cobble Hill during my days at Upsala.
	2:54pm Gaylord Fields: @Rocky Mountains: Michael can't play Juniper's songs, because of WFMU's conflict-of-interest rules.
	2:55pm listener 126464: Thanks Michael and FMU crew.

	12:56pm Listener Bop Monroe: yep, got that right cuz we're in the NY catskills :-)
	12:56pm Steve: Michael, can I ask you a question about Bo Diddley?
	12:56pm ratso: I think DJ's have played new Cornershop recently.
	12:57pm Gaylord Fields: @kpx: He's not allowed to, as per WFMU's conflict of interest policy.
	12:58pm Joe B: the new Cornershop made the rounds at FMU - Evan Clay, McGasko, Todd etc
	12:58pm Joe B: No. 1 hit from the Plimsouls!
	12:59pm Steve: Yeah, Plimsouls!
	12:59pm prudy: loving the Plimsouls...haven't heard this song in years...
	12:59pm ratso: Well you DID say ALL POP. dayum!
	12:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: Just a perfect song by every measure, including heartbeat rate.
	1:00pm myron feld: Super super #1 song here, and featured in "Valley Girl!"
	1:00pm eastvanhalen: Joining the "hey, Plimsouls!" chorus. This is so much fun.
	1:00pm Woo: I wish I was driving my car listening to this song.
	1:00pm mariano: Hey, from the "Valley Girl" soundtrack!
	1:01pm Michael Shelley: Steve - I will make a rare exception, what is your question?
	1:03pm Joe B: it's a slippery slope to all lower case playlist entries ...
	1:03pm Steve: Is it just me or was Bo Diddley's 'Bo's Bounce' way ahead of its' time in terms of innovation in how he manipulated his guitar on that track ?
	1:03pm Hughie Considine: The Sounds stickers are un-removable!! One time it looked OK -- on the Replacements' Tim, because same shade of pink.
	1:04pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I still can't figure out how I'd never seen Valley Girl until just a few years ago.
	1:04pm Woo: I have a couple of LPs that still have the department store price tag stapled to them.
	1:04pm listener monica: i am sooo loving your show !!
	1:05pm mariano: Bob Kildea was Belle & Sebastian's bass player I thought. 20 years ago at least. Met him a couple of times, nice guy.
	1:06pm YETI BOB: I was browsing used records and I found one with a Korvette's sticker on it. They had a weird system where the records didn't have prices - the stickers were color-coded with a letter ("E", "G", etc) and there was a chart hanging up that decoded the prices. Anyone else remember that?
	1:06pm Pauly from Clifton: Michael! What a treat to hear you on Thursday! I hope it's a double dose of the show this week.
	1:06pm kpx: @Gaylord, Hmm, well that's the way that cookie crumbles. speaking about cookies have you still been baking them. or was it some kind of donuts that I've seen people breaking your chops about. I forget why they were doing that?.
	1:07pm Steve: I remember that well, Yeti Bob. They had the best sale prices
	1:07pm Gaylord Fields: No baking anymore. Not enough people to eat them.
	1:07pm Joe B: Plimsouls were on Terre T's show, 2006: wfmu.org...
	1:08pm Gaylord Fields: @kpx: And why? People are weird.
	1:09pm Michael Shelley: THANKS, JOE! I knew it was in there somewhere...
	1:09pm Michael Shelley: STEVE = Bo was from another planet - possibly sent from the future.
	1:11pm Joe B: I saw the Plimsouls three times in 2006 alone and they were fantastic. Buyer beware - Eddie Munoz still plays under the Plimsouls banner but with a rotating cast of players/singers. It's usually really good but Peter Case is usually not involved. end public service announcement
	1:11pm Listener Bop Monroe: we had an EJKorvettes off the Belt Pkwy in Bklyn. Did not know until after it closed the name referred to 'Eight Jewish Korean Vets'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._J._Korvette i got a nice bicycle but no records from them. '74.
	1:12pm Carmichael: This should be the Kinks, but it's not. So there.
	1:12pm Rick from SC: This Leopards song reminds me of the Kinks
	1:12pm mariano: Ahh, Cherry Blossom Clinic, sorely missed. Perfect Saturday afternoon show.
	1:13pm jt: The Leopards, "I Wonder If I'll Ever See You Again" so nice! Ray Davies cousin?
	1:13pm Carmichael: Rick, you owe my a pepsi.
	1:13pm mariano: That did sound like Ray Davies, didn't it?
	1:13pm Hughie Considine: The first Cukes LP was really fantastic.
	1:14pm ratso: @Yeti Bob, I think a few discount department stores used the letter system (maybe Two Guys?). This way they didn't have to relabel for price changes. just change the signs. @Bop, didn't know that! good trivia.
	1:14pm Hughie Considine: Saw them at Maxwell's, with Ira the K behind the board.
	1:14pm henry: holy crap, i saw the Cucumbers at the 40 Watt in thel late 80s...
	1:14pm Rick from SC: Too funny
	1:14pm doctorjazz: Love this Cucumber track, have the vinyl somewhere at home. Hi all!
	1:15pm Woo: Cucumbers is new to me and it is fantastic.
	1:15pm Listener Bop Monroe: ....but it was an urban legend... sorry. According to Korvette's founder, Eugene Ferkauf, who died on June 5, 2012, the name "E. J. Korvette" was coined as a combination of the initials of its founders (Eugene and Joe) and a re-spelling of the naval term corvette, a nimble sailing warship and later World War II sub-destroyer. The company's founding in 1948 (two years before the Korean War) disproves the urban legend that the name was an acronym for "Eight (or Eleven) Jewish Korean War Veterans".
	1:16pm ratso: well now i'm disappointed.
	1:17pm kpx: I just remembered seeing that color code pricing at Walmart.
	1:17pm Joe B: @woo - seek out the cucumbers' great cover of all shook up
	1:19pm myron feld: And I just remembered I saw the Plimsouls in 1982 at Beverly Hills High, in the gym with the floor that opens to reveal the swimming pool as seen in "It's A Wonderful Life."
	1:19pm Krys O.: @Yeti Bob: We did the same at Crazy Eddie's records. Having a letter/color code meant that we didn't have to relabel with sale prices, simply change the signs.
	1:19pm Carmichael: Rick sounds like Darryl and John.
	1:22pm David: The Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo Rick Derringer?
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Used to love going to Sounds, up those steps on St Marks.
	1:25pm Krys O.: The McCoys could have influenced Hall & Oates.
	1:25pm Michael Shelley: MYRON - who else on the bill
	1:26pm Dennis Diken: diggin' the show big time Mikey!
	1:26pm Rick from SC: I don't remember this Monkees tune, but it sure reminds me of later XTC
	1:27pm ratso: Yay, Monkees! great tune. Andy Partridge penned.
	1:27pm Michael Shelley: written by Andy Partridge! BINGO
	1:27pm Tim In SF: Chips and Root Beer? I'm in. Bring the summer on.
	1:28pm kpx: I hope this monkees tune becomes a regularly permanent played summer song.
	1:29pm ratso: Thanks for this awesome fill-in, Michael. Getting off the comments board to go sweat and mow. But this show in the headphones will make it bearable.
	1:30pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Michael Shelly and friends!
	1:30pm myron feld: @Michael Shelley -- I don't recall, sorry.
	1:31pm Buddha of Suburbia: Michael Shell"e"y
	1:32pm Gordon FM: @Gaylord Email Sent!
	1:32pm efd: I was just thinking, it's interesting (in a good way!) to hear this show vs. the Michael Shelley Show proper. Sounding good!
	1:35pm queems: i just got home from my stupid job so that’s cool
	1:35pm Joe B: Not sure if I should go looking for this: In 2017, Derringer collaborated with the baseball players Tom Seaver and Gary Redus to release a version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"
	1:36pm kpx: Hey there Buddha!
	1:36pm efd: @Joe, that sounds like it could be... ungood.
	1:36pm queems: fyi if you’re thinking about driving to/from the city via gwb, reconsider
	1:37pm David Shortell: I guess naming that Byrds instrumental "Stranger In A Strange Land" was David Crosby's idea, considering that Heinlein novel inspired his rejected Byrds song (and accepted Jefferson Airplane song) "Triad".
	1:39pm Joe B: Crosby is the songwriter for that one
	1:39pm David Shortell: @efd Double plus ungood, maybe?
	1:39pm ?: the tests are contaminated with the virus world wide. hence the original "delay" in initial testing referred to as a "glitch" contaminated CDC tests. President of Tanzania tested vegetables/animals and got positives back because he knew the tests were comped and was showing it to the world who is blind with fear.. look it up!
	1:39pm Listener Bop Monroe: jonesy played a version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Carly Simon this week with all the lyrics. Lets go Mets.
	1:40pm BH: (wouldn't the positive % be higher if the tests were contaminated?)
	1:43pm Steve Harsh: Kurt Baker has the most hooks, good call
	1:43pm kpx: this guy sounds a lot like Elvis Costello.
	1:44pm queems: question mark has their finger on the pulse of science
	1:44pm Jennica: @kpx: I had the exact same thought.
	1:45pm Lizardner Dave 2: @queems but do the rest of the Mysterians agree?
	1:46pm queems: @lizardner dave lololollololo
	1:47pm RGD4music: Enjoying the show today !!!!
	1:48pm YETI BOB: @?: My test and my wife's test came back negative. I guess we are not vegetables!
	1:49pm kpx: @Jennica, am I wrong or does this guy also sounds a lot like Elvis Costello.
	1:50pm Michael Shelley: @? - Why not post with your real name? I'm not sure I understand your point... Do you not belive more people have the virus this week than last?
	1:53pm Woo: Can we just dance? Let's just dance.
	1:53pm Feldpausch: I absolutely LOVE this Rufus Wainwright song. It's so hard to find
	1:54pm BH: pretty sure the argument for this not being a peak of infections involves "the testing wasn't plentiful enough to make April the peak"... but I suspect that some people aren't going to make that argument.
	1:56pm Power Papi: That Tanzanian president is a piece of work: www.theguardian.com...
	1:57pm Listener Bop Monroe: trust the science when the facts stare you in the facemask. ignore the ignorant. let them eat bleach. ...sorry, wont go there again.
	1:57pm Joe McG: Wow, the same guy who wrote that Rufus Wainwright song wrote Taylor Dayne's big hits! Nice to hear you today, Michael!
	1:59pm Montmaster J: Hey! Wish I had tuned in earlier!
	2:00pm Power Papi: Seltzer? Is that what you call Club Soda back East?
	2:01pm Jennica: @Power Papi - It can also be a tonic.
	2:01pm βrian: I always knew it as just "soda."
	2:02pm Joe B: Yes, Kurt Baker Band played on Three Chord Monte in 2015, and the Kurt Baker Combo on Todd-o-phonic Todd show in 2018
	2:02pm kpx: Mark Bacino not quite as much as kurt Baker, but still very Costello.
	2:02pm Listener Bop Monroe: club soda has salts, seltzer (2 cents plain) is just CO2 & water. i LOVE seltzer.
	2:03pm BH: I suspect "the tests we've bought for America are actually wildly inaccurate" isn't exactly a winning argument for the people running things
	2:04pm Peter: Adam Sandler movie you're thinking of is Big Daddy
	2:04pm deborah: Fun song; don't remember ever hearing it.
	2:05pm Gaylord Fields: "I Don't Wanna Cry" is on my short list of favorite power pop tunes ever ever. Love love love every single thing about it, including the Wings/Joe Jackson connection!
	2:07pm Tim In SF: Lookin'Sharp
	2:07pm eastvanhalen: Joe! I love this guy.
	2:07pm Faux Jean: Hey, loving this show. Thank you. Also, this is a happy coincidence as I heard Sue play “I’m Sticking with My Henry” a few weeks back, which I loved and played for my son, Henry, and then proceeded down a Michael Shelley rabbit hole.
	2:07pm Montmaster J: Saw Joe at Town Hall last year.....really good show, great band. He's also really funny.
	2:07pm Carmichael: Look Sharp and I'm the Man were 2 great LPs.
	2:08pm Hughie Considine: I think the first single off Look Sharp was "Got the Time," which got a lot of airplay on WPIX in NYC -- that Graham Maby bass line jis ust absolutely lapel-grabbing.
	2:09pm Carmichael: The bass is always more of a lead with Jackson.
	2:10pm Peter from Dover NJ: Hello everyone. Listener Bop Monroe, I love seltzer too. Got tired of recycling plastic bottles tho. Great show, Michael.
	2:10pm Hughie Considine: Dang, here's another WPIX classic. Ric Ocasek produced, I think
	2:10pm deborah: @Feldpausch Love anything by Rufus Wainright who is so underplayed.
	2:10pm Power Papi: Mike is killing it today.
	2:10pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hey everybody
	2:11pm Krys O.: @queems: A finger on the pulse of vegetables.
	2:11pm Krys O.: Nice blast from the past with the Ian Lloyd. Thanks!
	2:11pm Montmaster J: Hey Mike, remember when we saw Marshall Crenshaw (with Graham Maby and Kenny Aronoff) somewhere...and Joe was in the audience? Good times.
	2:11pm Woo: Is this the singer from Stories?
	2:12pm Michael Shelley: Bottom Line - great show!
	2:12pm Bootsie: This Ian Lloyd is new to me... and I am LOVING it!
	2:12pm Montmaster J: Yes!!!!
	2:13pm Krys O.: @Woo: yup
	2:13pm Krys O.: And now Bram! YES!
	2:13pm eastvanhalen: Ohhhhhh, I haven't heard this Bram in a while.
	2:14pm Frank Zaatar: Wow, somehow I'm working at my day job in 1979 and listening to WNEW. I wish I could afford Fiorucci--oh well, back to Manic Panic.
	2:14pm Hughie Considine: That's three in a row from the golden age of the late '70s not quite defined era I love so much. If "Starry Eyes" by the Records comes on, I'll plotz.
	2:14pm Gaylord Fields: Bram is another WPIX hit (and actual chart hit, too).
	2:14pm Carmichael: Bram! Wow, it's been a LONG time. This was also an incredible album.
	2:14pm Steve Harsh: 1979 - the year that changed my life
	2:14pm Krys O.: Or some Motors, Hughie.
	2:15pm Montmaster J: Or What I like about You
	2:15pm Carmichael: I think The Records are coming up soon. Or The Vapors.
	2:16pm Steve Harsh: It could only be The Records
	2:16pm Steve: Been a long time since I heard this fab Bram Tchaikovsky hit !
	2:16pm Hughie Considine: Airport! @Krys O
	2:17pm Carmichael: Or The Motels.
	2:18pm Krys O.: @Hughie: A fab gear Motors song!
	2:18pm myron feld: more WPIX! Is Joe from Chicago there?
	2:18pm Bootsie: What a great set!
	2:18pm Steve: I think this Sinceros hit was on a New Wave comp double LP back then ?
	2:19pm efd: omg, the Sinceros!!
	2:19pm Listener Bop Monroe: good gosh, it's WPIX-FM & i'm dancing (BY MYSELF hint hint) at Webster Hall on a monday nite. look, there's pete townsend!
	2:19pm efd: oh jeez, and I missed "Slip Away" and "Look Sharp." Now I'm mad.
	2:19pm Hughie Considine: To be sure, @Krys O - "Love and Loneliness" too!
	2:19pm Krys O.: Having high school flashbacks.
	2:20pm Montmaster J: I'm 14 again.
	2:20pm Hughie Considine: @Michael, can you tell that you're killing it?
	2:20pm eastvanhalen: Oh, Mick Jones, what have you wrought
	2:20pm Krys O.: Used to go to the Ritz on a regular basis and Joe Jackson was always there towering above the crowd.
	2:21pm listener 126464: PIX Penthouse Party
	2:21pm eastvanhalen: Volume up.
	2:21pm Bootsie: ヽ(´▽`)/
	2:21pm myron feld: I strongly recommend Viv Albertine's (the subject of this song) book "Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys" and the followup "To Throw Away Unopened."
	2:21pm eastvanhalen: Work break, living room dance party.
	2:22pm Power Papi: ok, I'm dead.
	2:22pm eastvanhalen: Me too
	2:22pm Bootsie: *INCOHERENT SCREAMING*
	2:23pm Krys O.: Yes, Viv Albertine is still amazing as is Vivien Goldman.
	2:23pm sufferwords: ah the true sounds of summer
	2:23pm eastvanhalen: Why yes, I wrote "I don't want to live in a dream I want something real" on my bedroom wall when I was a teenage punk
	2:23pm Steve Harsh: Not just Buzzcocks, but THAT Buzzcocks. Such a fine selection.
	2:24pm Hughie Considine: Recently read "Brave New World" and hadn't realized the phrase "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" comes from Huxley's book.
	2:24pm eastvanhalen: In sharpie
	2:27pm johnk77: outstanding work @mikeshelley joe jackson liked to go out in the eighties in nyc he came by s.o.b.'s quite often i was told he then lived on king street nice guy/very tall pro-cigarette smoking
	2:28pm efd: jeez, I was living on 5th Avenue in Park Slope around that time (maybe) - early '90s.
	2:28pm Hughie Considine: At least Joe didn't say, "Don't you know who I am? I'm the man!"
	2:29pm BH: "Would you say that Joe Jackson was Stepping Out after you told him he couldn't smoke in your bar" audience shakes their heads quietly
	2:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Hughie: But he did say to Michael, "Me, babe, steppin' out!"
	2:29pm Gaylord Fields: @BH: Jinx!
	2:30pm Krys O.: I read that Joe Jackson moved to Berlin for a while.
	2:31pm Michael Shelley: EFD - did you ever encounter a standoffish bartender with great music playing?
	2:32pm Joe B: the NYC no smoking law was circa 2002/2003
	2:32pm johnk77: chrissie another big tobacco user in the 80s she would allow hashish to be mixed in whilst smoking w/the crew;>
	2:32pm Mike Sin: Late to the party here, but a nice surprise finding a Michael Shelley fill in!
	2:32pm patrick321: I lived on King / 6th Ave corner from 79-96. JJ came into the bar/bistro place under my apt often. Really kept to himself so I never spoke to him.
	2:33pm efd: @Michael not that I recall, but then I've never been much of a bar-goer.
	2:33pm Carmichael: That's a British thing, johnk77.
	2:33pm Woo: 2020 Pretenders sound great.
	2:33pm efd: Also I'm alarmed to realize it was a lot closer to 30 years ago than 20 when I was living there
	2:34pm Montmaster J: @Krys....yeah I think he moved there so he could smoke. For real.
	2:35pm Hughie Considine: @Gaylord, as Joe's about to leave, a high school senior glides in on rollerblades and she lights up a cigarette. A vein on Joe's head begins to throb. And Michael says, "Don't you know that it's different for girls?"
	2:37pm Michael Shelley: I worked there 1994ish to 2000ish - Wildgirl got me the job!
	2:39pm dk50b: Train in Vain was meant to be a free flexi-disc giveaway from NME. Was written and recorded at end of London Calling sessions, NME deal collapsed, so decided to tack onto London Calling. Since cover art/track listing was done too late to include there. First Clash song to break US top 30. web.archive.org...
	2:39pm efd: ah, I was on to Bay Ridge by that point. Where on 5th? I was between 3rd and 4th Streets.
	2:39pm Pseu Braun: Great job, Michael! Listening from home, PC dead... Hope to be up and running next week. Thanks for taking the load off and providing the hooks!
	2:40pm Joycek: I remember Joe playing on SNL in the mid-80s. Producers told him he had a 3 minute slot so he and the band stopped abruptly in the middle of a song and he sneered "3 minutes!" Cut to commercial.
	2:40pm Pseu Braun: HAHA Thanks for the Twigs!
	2:41pm dk50b: Michael assume you've heard The Rabies sizzling cover of Somebody Got Murdered
	2:43pm Listener Bop Monroe: sorry EFD but Bay Ridge begins at 69th St. 3/4th St'd be Park Slope, a cool place either way.
	2:43pm Gaylord Fields: @Hughie: Haha! JJ/MS fanfic!
	2:44pm efd: @Listener Bop I know, I moved from Park Slope to Bay Ridge
	2:44pm deborah: Fabulous show, Michael! Thank you.
	2:46pm Listener Bop Monroe: re-read. my bad. (we were 81st off off Ridge Blvd.) 3 Jolly Pidgeons is still there!
	2:46pm Jennica: I was at that bar.
	2:47pm johnk77: thanks again selecter with all this commentary i feel the need to go into the backyard for a non-tobacco herbal blessing after the show is over
	2:48pm efd: @Listener Bop not sure I ever went in there, but I remember passing that spot often! I was at 3rd Ave and 100th St, then 72nd St just off Shore Road
	2:48pm Bootsie: The Shat!
	2:49pm Brian in New Orleans: Oh shit!
	2:49pm dk50b: Chrissie Hynde's hard to understand politics might mean the title isn't aimed at the obvious targets
	2:49pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Our cat is named The Common People but not after the song.
	2:49pm Rocky Mountains: Hell yes, Shatner’s the shit.
	2:50pm Krys O.: Shatner is nearly 90!
	2:50pm Bootsie: @Krys and still sharp as a tack!
	2:50pm Listener Baby: Wow Baby. You said so, and you did. Pop Phasers on Stun!
	2:51pm Steve Harsh: Really great show Michael, many thanks. Catch you Saturday
	2:51pm dk50b: Shatner not the most tolerant person per George Takei, but hey that was perfectly acceptable then
	2:52pm Rocky Mountains: Great show, regular listener of both your programs. Pseu plays Juniper regularly, please play some Juniper!
	2:52pm Krys O.: @Bootsie: Indeed. I follow him on Twitter.
	2:52pm Listener Bop Monroe: Cap'n Catheter EFD that liquor store is still at 100/3rd too!
	2:52pm efd: wow, good for them!
	2:52pm Listener Robert: I sure hope that's not a true story. It would mean some lady made a single awkward statement, had it taken badly, and got an awful rebuke.
	2:53pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Fab power pop today Michael this show is a real treat today!!!
	2:53pm Power Papi: Mike makes my jeans explode!!
	2:53pm Krys O.: My sis lived in Park Slope in the early 80s and I used to hang out there and in Cobble Hill during my days at Upsala.
	2:54pm Gaylord Fields: @Rocky Mountains: Michael can't play Juniper's songs, because of WFMU's conflict-of-interest rules.
	2:55pm listener 126464: Thanks Michael and FMU crew.
	2:55pm Michael Shelley: dk50b - I have the CBGB board tape! who re you?
	2:56pm Krys O.: Thanks, Michael!
	2:58pm patrick321: Great show Michael, thx!
	2:58pm Michael Shelley: THIS WAS SO FUN! Thanks all for the love, support, help & comments!
	2:58pm Hughie Considine: Really loved this show today! Be well, all.
	2:58pm Bootsie: Excellent surprise show!
	2:58pm efd: Great show Michael!
	2:58pm Jennica: Thank you Michael Shelley.
	2:58pm ifeelfatnsassy: Guess I'll just have to spin my Juniper record later today for my fix of those hooks...
	2:59pm Pedro in Arlington: You better not call in sick on Saturday, Mike. That would happen at an old job I had. Fill in, get time and a half. Then call in sick for your own shift.
	2:59pm Montmaster J: Thanks Michael! Great show.
	3:00pm Listener Bop Monroe: that was a real quick 3 hours sittin under the fans. great fill in! thank you Mr S and all the rest!!
	3:00pm PNX: The last three hours have been an absolute pleasure. Thanks, Michael!
	3:00pm eastvanhalen: This has been awfully good. Thanks Michael!
	3:00pm McGroovey: Just turned the radio on. I missed it! I'll listen in the archives.
	3:01pm βrian: It was real, quick, and really quick. Thanks, Michael.
	3:01pm Rocky Mountains: @ Gaylord Fields, ahh... of course WFMU would have good policy that way! Thanks for the info!
