	11:04am Creature Boy: Overlanders?
	11:05am Creature Boy: I called it
	11:05am Handy Haversack: Frank, I had to go over the Quest for a blood test this morning. The (very nice) tech asked me if I'd been fasting. I said, "Of course -- wait, except for whisky. Is that OK?" She said, "Sure -- it was Friday, after all." Much better than a few days back, clarke, thanks!
	11:06am clarke: cool HH
	11:06am HyperDose: The drink keeps cold hearts and feet warm
	11:06am Frank In Queens: @Handy, there you go!
	11:06am clarke: whiskey fasting. niiice.
	11:07am phat in lincoln: Good morning. Helping me recover from wisdom teeth brutality.
	11:07am clarke: dual-screening, here, boys.
	11:07am Bri: Lol Handy
	11:07am clarke: Squints!! how's yer brisket?
	11:07am Creature Boy: Bakersfield
	11:07am HyperDose: Solidarity, phat. Went through that nightmare last year.
	11:08am Bob: Good Morning! I'm with you live (and alive) for this one. Tell John and Casey that Nolan says "howdy."
	11:08am clarke: wisdom teeth... YIPE!!!
	11:08am Squints: Nicely smoked, clarke.
	11:09am clarke: as it should be, SQ
	11:09am Handy Haversack: Gonna take more than a few teeth to wise me up! Now I'm going to see about breaking that fast. Radios on!
	11:10am PatrickMC: Bo Diddley is the greatest
	11:10am clarke: wisdumb teeth
	11:11am clarke: they put rinaldo in. wow.
	11:11am phat in lincoln: @HyperDose much worse than I expected. Should have done this years ago.
	11:11am Squints: duncan renaldo?
	11:11am phat in lincoln: @PatrickMC hard to argue with that.
	11:11am clarke: yes, phat - delaying only makes things worse - as i discovered.
	11:11am Squints: Two tooths, handy, or all four?
	11:12am phat in lincoln: I am glad I like malt-o-meal!
	11:12am Squints: There's almost no song that can't made a bouncy, jaunty reggae song.
	11:12am Bob: Wisdom teeth are proof that humans haven't completely evolved yet. That and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
	11:13am clarke: i'm glad too get on the maltomeal mobile!
	11:13am Squints: Sorry, not handy, phat. Same question. Two, or all four?
	11:13am phat in lincoln: @Bob they both cause pain
	11:13am clarke: ha ha bob - good morrrrning!
	11:13am HyperDose: @phat I was told my teeth were growing straight and they wouldn't need to be pulled. Didn't go to the doctor for 10yrs (big mistake). The impacted tooth has caused a litany of issues I'm still slowly recovering from. Had reconstructive sinus surgery back in May. Don't recommend it!
	11:14am clarke: pretty much same story, hyper, but long ago.
	11:14am phat in lincoln: @Squints two. Upper left and lower right. The other two aren't "erupting" yet.
	11:15am PTC: Big Star show was great. I doubt anyone there would disagree.
	11:15am clarke: yes, but it's just better to get them over with, phat.
	11:15am Cat: Greetings, Michael. Needing this today. Very happy about your surprise guests.
	11:16am jmd: This mix sounds different? The mellotron is louder?
	11:16am clarke: i never travel too far...
	11:16am clarke: i don't know about anyone else, but i much prefer a show that is based on quality rather than some kind of criteria. that's just me.
	11:16am HyperDose: @phat My issue was a deviated septum keeping an infection dormant. Once the tooth got removed all hell broke loose. Infectious disease doctor told me it happens to 10-12% of people with teeth extractions. Hope you heal up soon. I know how sucky it is 😔 Hang in there!
	11:16am Ed: Doesn't the new Brower single Where Is The Magic sound exactly like Big Star? They open for NRBQ 2nite
	11:17am Frank In Queens: This one is so great. The live version from Lafayette's Music Room is pretty cool too.
	11:17am Squints: I had mine done a looooong time ago. Two were going to be a problem, two probably weren't. Surgeon took out the others anyway. I was asleep, so fine with me. My brother had sinus polyps taken out about twenty years ago. An unalloyed good but absolutely not a pleasant experience, to hear him tell it.
	11:17am geokopp: Big Star show was stellar!
	11:18am phat in lincoln: @clarke the dentist said wait. I have other issues...
	11:18am prof.fuzz: mornin' y'all
	11:19am clarke: FuZZZ he's awake!!
	11:19am phat in lincoln: Having a dental college here is nice, though.
	11:19am clarke: how wuzzz that gig, Prof??
	11:20am Handy Haversack: Hey hey, prof.fuzz!
	11:20am clarke: hummel - very underrated
	11:21am phat in lincoln: Stamey needs to come to the great plains regardless.
	11:21am prof.fuzz: show was fun. outdoor stage. nice weather. fire pit going for all-natural smoke effect. a good time was had by all.
	11:22am Artie: Saw the final Big Star show of the tour in Chapel Hill last night. Fantastic show and a great audience.
	11:22am Bri: I keep having this recurring dream that my teeth are falling out Hyper
	11:22am clarke: it was an outdoor show, wow. you could have smoked Squints' brisket!
	11:22am prof.fuzz: was just listening to the live recording. sounded pretty good out in the front too. we needed some marshmallows for after show flaming snacks.
	11:23am clarke: the rhythm guitar mix is exquisite, hear.
	11:23am HyperDose: @Squints I had local anesthesia and started to come to while the teeth were getting pulled. Living nightmare The general anesthesia during the sinus procedure was much nicer.
	11:24am Bri: I was high for a week after my wisdom teeth pulled out
	11:24am Squints: The idea of waking up from local while stuff is still going on freaks me out a little.
	11:24am clarke: so was handy
	11:25am phat in lincoln: @HyperDose they gave me an enormous about of local. It started to wear off near the end. My teeth were, apparently, difficult. Probably due to age
	11:25am clarke: i was awake the whole time - the dental surgeon had to brace his knee on my chest!
	11:26am phat in lincoln: @clarke good god
	11:26am Doug in MP: I had my wisdom teeth out on local. The sucking sound as the easy teeth were yanked out will live with me forever
	11:26am Squints: This certainly sounds like something from something.
	11:26am clarke: yeah, but it was worth it.
	11:26am Frank In Queens: @Squints, I had a couple of oral surgeries back in high school before I could get my braces, and I was semi-cognizant for one of them. I didn't feel any pain, put I was able to hear what the doctor and nurses were talking about while performing the procedure, as well as hearing the crushing and grinding that was going on in my mouth while the were working.
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good Saturday FMUvianz ! ~
	11:27am Squints: I hope the rest of my teeth, at my advanced youth, are that stubborn about not coming out.
	11:27am clarke: exactly frank!
	11:27am P-90: This Redd Holt is nice and “jaunty.” Jaunty to the max.
	11:27am clarke: something something.
	11:28am Squints: Frank, did the doctor and nurses dish any dirt?
	11:28am Bob: The only time I ever saw Billy Preston was that period where he was in the Band. That was weird!
	11:28am Frank In Queens: I also started coming out of general anesthesia from a hernia operation when I was 5. That I felt a burning from.
	11:28am phat in lincoln: I did not know that Michael.
	11:28am clarke: yeowwwtch!
	11:29am Frank In Queens: @Squints, actually they were talking about the infidelity of someone they knew.
	11:29am Squints: @clarke, to exert enough force to pull the tooth or "down, boy?"
	11:29am clarke: he had to brace himself to pull the tooth
	11:30am clarke: i could feel 'pressure' but no pain.
	11:30am HyperDose: @Doug + Clarke I will never forget that sound either. Luckily couldn't open my eyes or feel anything, but heard it until they knocked me out again. Had to uber home and almost passed out in the pharmacy lol
	11:31am clarke: i bought a headache.
	11:32am clarke: i just discovered this fun fact: I Bought A Headache and It's Gonna Be A Cool Night by Paul Davis were released the same week!
	11:32am Tim: Agree. Blows my mind; almost half of Georgians say”yep, that’s my man” What the hell?
	11:32am phat in lincoln: NRBQ need to play the great plains too.
	11:33am clarke: and Great Plains needs to play in the south!
	11:34am Squints: White Plains need to play in Edison. Over by the lighthouse.
	11:34am clarke: upset in the making on the other screen.
	11:35am Squints: Good. This tournament, I'm rooting for chaos.
	11:35am clarke: the captain nods.
	11:36am clarke: you are getting chaos. in every part of the world!!
	11:36am WLSClark: Its About Time. I loved that 45 as soon as we got it on DJ copy in 1970/1. Just an awesome track shoulda been a hit.
	11:36am Bob: I was listening to some C&T this week and wishing it was just the backing tracks. Toni really overdid it but the music is wonderful
	11:37am clarke: there ya go, bob! the captain nods again.
	11:37am Squints: Bob, was she especially histrionic on deeper cuts? I don't remember her being especially over the top on the htis.
	11:38am mandy: hi! i discovered this radio station during my senior year of high school. which i just graduated not so long ago. and im learn so many musicians from here! im also using this radio so i can work on my homework at college. lol also LONG ISLAND STRONG!
	11:38am Handy Haversack: Frank, I had hernia surgery at 8. Slept right through it, though.
	11:38am johnk77: nrbq has been good live from now->then or in my life 1977? a pier on the west side of manhattan ->montyhall 2019?
	11:39am Squints: An Englishman named Harold facing off against the Normans. What could possibly go wrong?
	11:39am clarke: nice Mandy!! howdy!!
	11:40am mandy: hiii!
	11:40am clarke: voice of harold.
	11:40am Bri: Hey Mandy! I discovered this station my senior year as well!
	11:40am mandy: also i've been thinking of getting merch from here. it's looks cool!
	11:41am Bri: Welcome to the best station in the world!
	11:41am clarke: those new hoodies look cool!
	11:41am Frank In Queens: @Handy, that's perfect. The pain wasn't sod bad. I recall having some sort of rash around my waistline at the time, and when I was coming out from the gas, I remember talking about how my rash was bothering me. I guess i was either too young to understand what was being done to me, or the drugs were disorienting me.
	11:41am clarke: handy and mandy - both students (after a fashion)
	11:41am Frank In Queens: @mandy, welcome.
	11:42am Squints: mandy, it absolutely is. With respect to this show in particular, get yahself some coastahs, theah.
	11:42am HyperDose: @mandy Only two days left to get your stuff by Christmas! wfmu.store
	11:42am johnk77: the rick hall doc?
	11:42am Squints: Jerry Butler on this sounds like Sammy Davis channeling Tom Jones. I like this.
	11:43am clarke: he likes it!! hey mikey!!
	11:43am Bri: Glad to see someone close to my age on the chat room! :)
	11:43am Squints: Oh. That Harold.
	11:43am clarke: that harold!!!
	11:44am Handy Haversack: Welcome, mandy! Much to learn from the people around here! Not from me, mind, but most of the others.
	11:44am clarke: @mandy - Handy is more a student of the liquor scam, but don't mind him.
	11:45am johnk77: i tried to go to the muscle shoals museum in early 2020 it just started closing for covid:<
	11:45am WLSClark: Let me whisper in yo eeeya.
	11:45am Bri: There’s also 3 other awesome alternate streams on WFMU, Give the drummer radio is mostly world and Avant Garde music, Rock and soul is mostly obscure 60s Northern soul and garage rock, and Sheena’s jungle room goes from lounge to hardcore punk and all sorts of bizarreness!
	11:46am clarke: john - hopefully you'll go back sometime - that place is relatively untouched from its heyday.
	11:46am Handy Haversack: I'm a lifetime learner, clarke!
	11:46am PatrickMC: I'm in love with yeeww 😄 Love it and the arrangement
	11:46am Bri: Me too Handy!
	11:46am myron feld: I love the 3/4 bounciness of this Keely.
	11:46am clarke: and successful!!
	11:47am Bri: Love jazzy/easy listening Beatles renditions! 💗 even the songs Beatles covered like Til there was you or And I love him.
	11:47am Jimmy Wipper: Keely is from Norfolk, VA! "Discovered" down the street at the Cavalier Hotel in Va. Beach.
	11:47am WLSClark: Bri, been listening for only 3 years and never realized there were "categories" for the 4 streams! I just figured main got started, filled up, added another, filled up, added another etc.
	11:47am clarke: WIPPER GODDAM
	11:48am Frank In Queens: @Clark, those are nutshell descriptions of the stream, but there are exceptions to be found within each of them.
	11:48am clarke: it takes keely smiff to get you out of lurking!! howdy-doo!!
	11:48am Listener Baby: One of the Q’s finest. Top 5 Q drum performance in my humble book.
	11:48am Bri: Yeah, I discovered the diffrent categories by researching the different playlists on each station
	11:49am mandy: thanks for the warm welcoming ! :) i'll brb because i have to do my essay for school. lol
	11:49am Jimmy Wipper: @clarke heh heh heh, if Keely can't get you out of lurking who can?!?!
	11:49am Bri: True Frank
	11:49am HyperDose: Some links for you (or anyone else) to bookmark, mandy WFMU main stream - www.wfmu.org... Rock N Soul - wfmu.org... Give The Drummer Radio - wfmu.org... Sheena's Jungle Room - wfmu.org... Fill-ins/special events - www.wfmu.org...
	11:49am clarke: truth.
	11:49am WLSClark: Frank, Bri, thanks. No wonder I mostly listen to RNS stream!
	11:49am Bob: I think it was just the audience that they were playing for. I’m not a Captain and Tennille expert by any means. Her delivery is probably technically correct but a little too over the top for me.
	11:49am myron feld: The R&S stream is also great for rebroadcasts of FMU mothership shows (Downtown Soulville, Todd, Dave the Spazz, Sinner's Crossroads, Weekly World Blues)
	11:49am Frank In Queens: @Bri, but pretty accurate!
	11:49am mandy: thank you @hyperdose
	11:49am Handy Haversack: And special events: wfmu.org...
	11:50am myron feld: And Rex's Fools' Paradise, of course!
	11:50am Bri: Rock and soul is one of my favorites!
	11:50am WLSClark: Bri, yep see you often there. :) NRBQ fave for me is their 45 version of Cmon Everybody.
	11:50am clarke: i have an essay to do as well: The Uzzle Street Chronicles.
	11:51am myron feld: Plus Denny's Den, the best original show on the Rock'n'Soul Stream!
	11:51am HyperDose: @Handy Special events link is at the top of the fill-ins page. Only need to bookmark one since they flip flop
	11:51am Bri: Always love seeing you there Clark! :)
	11:51am clarke: all four is the best way to go - i didn't!!
	11:51am Squints: The word "cognisize" must -- must- be spoken in a Paul Winchell Tigger voice.
	11:51am WLSClark: 2 LINCOLN NE listeners! phat and WLSClark!
	11:52am Handy Haversack: I like to think that the web streams were started because there were some DJs who could just not contain their cursing no matter how hard they tried.
	11:52am Bri: Wait, I thought you lived in Chicago Clark!
	11:52am clarke: uhhh, you ARE insane!
	11:52am WLSClark: Handy, haha. I believe it!
	11:52am Frank In Queens: Ooohhhhhhh!
	11:53am clarke: i hear you need some trackin' work done??
	11:53am Frank In Queens: Love The Eyes/The Pupils!
	11:53am PatrickMC: An indestructible song
	11:53am WLSClark: Bri, I am just a kid who grew up in WLS/WCFL and that led to Chicago 60's and everything Chicago, but grew up DXing all over in Dodge City, Ks. I love radio more than anything, tho.
	11:53am Bri: Yess!!
	11:54am Bri: Same here Clark! Radio is my passion!
	11:54am Creature Boy: I'm an Eyes/ Pupils fan mySeLf
	11:54am myron feld: Don't forget Winona.
	11:55am phat in lincoln: @WLSClark wait what? Nice.
	11:55am clarke: grate planes.
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Listener courtneynoir is also in Lincoln, NE. A DJ on KZUM.org. wfmu.org...
	11:56am clarke: and her airhorns.
	11:56am WLSClark: Handy, yes, I know that too. I was on KZUM 1980-1989 over 500 shows.
	11:56am HyperDose: I grew up on radio including WFMU. Lockdown rekindled my love for it. Great way to discover a lot of older stuff I missed as a youngin.
	11:56am Handy Haversack: Oh. Indeed.
	11:56am Bri: Wow Clark, awesome!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Morocco advances!
	11:57am Bri: Same here Hyper
	11:57am WLSClark: Hyper, wish I could have heard WFMU from start too!
	11:57am Handy Haversack: And Morocco goes through! Well. A Morocco - France semifinal wouldn't be fraught at all.
	11:57am Creature Boy: Because the eyes only recorded a handful of songs their collections always include pupil Trax. Skeets embraces the miracle of sTeRe0 here
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Nice, WLSClark!
	11:57am phat in lincoln: @Handy Haversack yep. She's an old friend of mine, and a fine drummer.
	11:57am clarke: wild stuff frank. i also saw the isles were way ahead last night. didn't see final score
	11:58am Bri: I was obsessed with all kinds of radio as a kid, Crystal radio, ham radio, cb’s, walkie talkies, shortwave, long wave, medium wave(a.m.)
	11:58am Squints: Maybe not so fraught as France - Algeria.
	11:58am WLSClark: handy, yesterday's matches were incredible. Glad Messi lives another day, and altho I picked Brazil to win it all, was not upset. BOTH matches were so exciting!
	11:58am clarke: rinaldo in tears! love it.
	11:58am Frank In Queens: @clarke, 6-4 was the final. They were up by 3 and the Devils pulled their goalie with like 7 minutes left and got one quick. The rest of the game was a wild ride, but the Isles pulled it out.
	11:59am HyperDose: @WLSClark My dad discovered it when they moved from NYC to NJ. It was the "goofy" station we'd listen to in the car. Thought they rented out the frequency on weekends because it went from reggae to religious stuff. A testament to the diversity of the programming!
	11:59am Bri: I love dissecting radio playlists, I do it as a hobby
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @clare, I can't say I feel too badly for him.
	11:59am clarke: were you there?
	11:59am Handy Haversack: Argentina - Morocco is definitely my preferred final at this point. I like the thought of Europe being totally left out. But I'm a bad person.
	12:00pm clarke: the greatest portugal player of all time?? ... eusebio!!
	12:00pm WLSClark: Bri, my mom, dad, brother were all HAMS as were many WLS DJs. My dad built crystal radios sets with each of us 4 brothers as we came of age. He had HAM license in early 30's less than 10 years after the first were issued.
	12:00pm Ciggy: CR7 ❤️
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, no. A Devils fan friend asked if I wanted to go earlier in the week, but I passed.
	12:01pm Bri: Wow Clark, so cool!
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: Also, the African teams all have the best names. The Atlas Lions!
	12:01pm clarke: dang. handy IS a bad person.
	12:01pm Squints: Goin' to Isels-Bs up at the Gahden Tuesday.
	12:01pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, I'm pulling for a Croatia/Morocco final, this way I can just watch the game without any rooting interests.
	12:01pm clarke: @Frank - how is your music room coming along, sir??
	12:01pm WLSClark: Bri, as I sell off my collection slowly, I have been selling old top 40 radio charts too. I LOVE those surveys of stations across the world.
	12:02pm Bri: Same here Clark! That’s awesome!
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: @Squints, nice. I'm back at UBS on the 23rd against the Panthers unless someone winds up buying my tickets.
	12:02pm WLSClark: Bri, were your parents HAMS by chance?
	12:03pm clarke: i still pull for england - but that is unlikely.
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, it's up and running. It's not 100% where we want it to be, but it's functional. I put it to good use this week, and Christina is up there now.
	12:03pm mandy: oh man i want a ham radio.
	12:03pm Squints: Got to see the Bs beat the 'Canes about a month ago. Always a high point for me since I was a Whalers fan. Guck those fuys.
	12:04pm clarke: what did u pull this weekend? session??
	12:04pm WLSClark: clarke, Ronaldo is done. Goodbye pretty boy. haha Go UK! Actually, Europe is fading fast.
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: @Squints, it's always interesting to to me to see where the Whaler fanbase dispersed to after the move to Raleigh.
	12:04pm Bri: No, but my dad had a Crystal radio as a kid
	12:04pm clarke: i will say this: having everything (or most of) already set-up makes creation so much easier!!
	12:05pm Bri: Same here Mandy!
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, just my next Drop In.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, but it was a good way to learn the sound of the room and work with the mic settings and DAW
	12:05pm clarke: oh sshiiiit!! when??
	12:06pm WLSClark: ANYONE interested in being a HAM or interested in HAM radio needs to see this (AFTER THE SHOW): www.youtube.com...
	12:06pm clarke: what did you decide for DAW??
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: Next Saturday.
	12:06pm WLSClark: PF SLOAN ATTACK! Love him!
	12:07pm clarke: i'll be there, maaan!!
	12:07pm Bri: Same Clark!
	12:07pm clarke: @Frank - you have GREAT drop-in's!!
	12:07pm WLSClark: Gotta go watch NU basketball game now. We're horrible, but.....
	12:07pm PatrickMC: Wow awesome hi-fi!
	12:08pm Bri: See ya Clark!
	12:08pm clarke: with NO dropouts!!
	12:08pm WLSClark: By Bri.
	12:09pm Squints: Frank, for me it was a round trip. Grew up east of Hartford. Was 10 and 12yo for the Bobby Orr cups, then we got the Whalers. Went once or twice a year with my pop with tix via Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. Then they moved and I was too depressed to care about hockey for about ten years. Radio host up here is obnoxious but, God help him, loves hockey. Pulled me back by the late oughts. Hating the Habs was a constant which made it easier.
	12:09pm clarke: huskers, baby!
	12:09pm Handy Haversack: Another "no bad versions" song?
	12:09pm mandy: the song before reminds me of Make Your Own Type Of Music lol
	12:09pm McGroovey: I can imagine a great cover of Where Were You as a slow lament, but I think the rrason most people want to cover it is so they can hit that chorus, in the established Hollies harmony way. And the feel of the rest of the song has to fit with that.
	12:10pm clarke: i dreamed about this song (and big al) the other night.
	12:10pm Creature Boy: Apparently "Where" was written by PF Sloan for Herman's Hermits and their movie Hold On & things went on from there
	12:10pm Squints: McGroovey, I totally grok that.
	12:11pm clarke: this was when joey was married to skeeter, and therefore a TN resident.
	12:11pm clarke: mawnin' McGrooves!!
	12:11pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, thank's man! I love doing them. They're a bit niched, but it's something different on the stream.
	12:12pm clarke: well, i learn something EVERY one!!
	12:12pm clarke: also, it MIGHT be... MovieTime??
	12:13pm Bri: Bought to go to the library, fingers crossed they have the NUGGETS box set
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: @Squints, interesting. I contemplated what I would do if the Isles ever moved (which was a definite possibility for a while there) and I came to the conclusion that I would either start rooting for the Devils or just not watch anymore. I could NEVER root for the goddamn Rangers!
	12:14pm clarke: last night i watched On The Beach for the first time in maybe 20 years - wow, ava gardner puts on a PERFOMANCE!!
	12:14pm clarke: as well as astair and peck and hopkins, ha ha.
	12:15pm Dominick: So much good in this
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, nothing to report since we talked on efd's board, except we have started watching the 5 episode series about the Comedy Store on Amazon. We're enjoying it.
	12:16pm clarke: will have to check comedy store doc.
	12:16pm PatrickMC: Accordions rock
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: @Bri, if they have any of them, just check them out. They're all great, with 1, 2, and Children Of... being essential IMO.
	12:16pm Squints: Call me a whore, Frank, but if the Isles couldn't have gotten their new barn and somehow moved about 120 miles northeast, I'd be a Whalers fan again in a heartbeat. Although in fairness, Quebec City ought to be in line ahead of us.
	12:16pm clarke: you are more into docs than i am.
	12:17pm Squints: Those Nugs boxed sets are each of them the bomb.
	12:17pm Bri: I agree Frank!
	12:17pm clarke: that said, the new Gun Club doc is AMAZING! Ghost On The Highway
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: @squints, I don't think either location gets a team. The next one will be somewhere in the west (probably Texas). They'll wind up relocating the Coyotes before expanding again, I think.
	12:18pm Bob: Clarke, where did you see the Gun doc?
	12:19pm clarke: bob - it's FREE on the youtube
	12:19pm Squints: I grudgingly concede the Lightning on account of their good organization and the Kings because of the big market. But I think it's a waste to have NHL hockey south of Denver or the Ohio River. If you can't play on a pond, you can settle for a minor league club.
	12:19pm clarke: i don't like to spoil, but one of the things that makes the doc great is that ward dotson is interviewed = fantastic
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, adding On The Beach to the list.
	12:20pm Bob: Play some Hollies to lure Casey
	12:21pm Bob: Or maybe Zombies
	12:21pm clarke: oh, man, frank - it's on youtube as well. a depressing flick, but worth seeing.
	12:22pm PatrickMC: Love Gun Club, JLP and that version of Get a Job
	12:22pm Bob: Thanks, Clarke!
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: @squints, but some of the sunbelt teams have done well. Nashville, Dallas, Vegas. Even Carolina.
	12:23pm Bri: Gun club are great!
	12:23pm myron feld: @clarke: this is it? GHOST ON THE HIGHWAY: A PORTAIT OF JEFFREY LEE PIERCE AND THE GUN CLUB by KURT VOSS
	12:23pm clarke: bob - hope ann arbor has calmed to a fevered pitch? i am pulling for blue, in this remainder group
	12:23pm Squints: Ugh. I shudder at the word "Carolina" the way those actors in The Black Adder did at the word "MacBeth."
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: Digging this Frosty number
	12:24pm clarke: that's it Myron - it is really well done!
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: @squints, understandable
	12:24pm Squints: Those cities just have an "oh! hockey!" vibe to them which you don't really get up our way. We're still more about puttin' on the foil.
	12:25pm clarke: (full disclosure: i am friends with ward dotson, jim duckworth and congo)
	12:25pm myron feld: thanks. Looking forward to watching Ward's interview. He's an old friend and bandmate, and he really, really didn't like Jeffery. I doubt that's changed!
	12:25pm Michael Shelley: Questions for John & Casey are welcome!
	12:25pm Bob: Cold and quiet in A2
	12:26pm PatrickMC: Miami one of the great near forgotten albums of the 80s
	12:26pm Michael Shelley: Charlie Brown Drummer: youtu.be...
	12:26pm clarke: well without spoiling too much: no. but there is a very tearful moment. that's spoiling.
	12:27pm clarke: it's curious that jim duckworth is not interviewed (but certainly all over the live footage) because he is a raconteur!!
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay ! Haven't heard JuniorBrown in a minute...
	12:27pm clarke: mornin' Rev!
	12:28pm Mister Dobalina: Now this is my jam!
	12:28pm clarke: The Artist Known As YAY!!
	12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo clarke et al !
	12:29pm Squints: Los Straitjackets did a nifty guitar-based cover of Linus & Lucy a few years back.
	12:29pm Cat: Casey & John: what's your fave xmas album?
	12:29pm clarke: i miss gaylord - sho nuff!!
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: Sounds like a nice holiday treat, Michael
	12:30pm Montmaster J: Question for John and Casey....do they have any idea how set will unfold or does it just flow from Terry spontaneously?
	12:30pm clarke: granelli - sooo goooood
	12:30pm clarke: his cymbal work is exquisite!!
	12:31pm clarke: and for that matter so is ardolino's!
	12:32pm clarke: james hochandel
	12:33pm Bob: John and Casey: Who was better. The Banana Splits or the Archies?
	12:34pm Squints: There ya go, Bob. That'll cause some dysentery in their ranks.
	12:35pm clarke: oof!!
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: SCOTTT!
	12:36pm mandy: ahhh fellow long islander !
	12:36pm clarke: archies had ron dante
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anybody didn't know this is the Thing JuniorBrown plays : i.pinimg.com...
	12:37pm clarke: he's no fleagle but, hey, secret weapon
	12:38pm clarke: i still can't do it. sorry!
	12:39pm Squints: I resisted for a while. Then they came to my town in 2017. Ahhhh, I guess they can stay. 8^) It was a really enjoyable show.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Archies had staggering Pop sensibility but didn't Progress into Psychedelia like the Splits.
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: Why are The Bugaloos not in this conversation?!
	12:44pm clarke: there was that trouble with the law.
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: But that's rock 'n' roll!
	12:45pm clarke: tell that to the bugaloos!
	12:45pm Bri: Well, it’s not the box set, but at least it’s volume one!
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bugaloos - Glam really. Vagaries of Fashion...
	12:48pm clarke: Bugaloos - Behind The Music
	12:49pm clarke: a dalliance with The Pussycats, inclusive.
	12:50pm bobob from Plasticland: big in Milwaukee too and Chic ago bugaboo..seem with REM ..alpine
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they obsessed with beating NRBQ & playing 201 gigs / year - & just burned. It takes a lot of metabolism to be a flying bug...
	12:52pm clarke: am i wrong that this is the first in-studio interview in a LOONG time??
	12:59pm Corey: Thanks for the great interview, Michael! Total blast!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	12:59pm clarke: anyone ever get the feeling they been cheated? good nite.
	12:59pm HyperDose: Forgot today was the NRBQ show. Great interview! Thanks, Michael. Hope phat and anyone else dealing with medical issues feels better soon!
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: Many thanks, MS!
	1:01pm Bob: Great interview. Love those guys. I wish I was seeing NRBQ tonight :(
	1:06pm Euclid Joe: Hello John and Casey!!! Michael too!
	5:31am RobbieWhite: Hearing Tom Ardolino sing GET A JOB tells the listener everything they need to know about what it was like seeing an NRBQ show in the 80's. Pure entertainment.

	11:05am Creature Boy: I called it
	11:05am Handy Haversack: Frank, I had to go over the Quest for a blood test this morning. The (very nice) tech asked me if I'd been fasting. I said, "Of course -- wait, except for whisky. Is that OK?" She said, "Sure -- it was Friday, after all." Much better than a few days back, clarke, thanks!
	11:06am clarke: cool HH
	11:06am HyperDose: The drink keeps cold hearts and feet warm
	11:06am Frank In Queens: @Handy, there you go!
	11:06am clarke: whiskey fasting. niiice.

	11:07am HyperDose: Solidarity, phat. Went through that nightmare last year.

	11:08am clarke: wisdom teeth... YIPE!!!
	11:08am Squints: Nicely smoked, clarke.
	11:09am clarke: as it should be, SQ
	11:09am Handy Haversack: Gonna take more than a few teeth to wise me up! Now I'm going to see about breaking that fast. Radios on!
	11:10am PatrickMC: Bo Diddley is the greatest
	11:10am clarke: wisdumb teeth
	11:11am clarke: they put rinaldo in. wow.
	11:11am phat in lincoln: @HyperDose much worse than I expected. Should have done this years ago.
	11:11am Squints: duncan renaldo?
	11:11am phat in lincoln: @PatrickMC hard to argue with that.
	11:11am clarke: yes, phat - delaying only makes things worse - as i discovered.
	11:11am Squints: Two tooths, handy, or all four?
	11:12am phat in lincoln: I am glad I like malt-o-meal!
	11:12am Squints: There's almost no song that can't made a bouncy, jaunty reggae song.
	11:12am Bob: Wisdom teeth are proof that humans haven't completely evolved yet. That and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
	11:13am clarke: i'm glad too get on the maltomeal mobile!
	11:13am Squints: Sorry, not handy, phat. Same question. Two, or all four?
	11:13am phat in lincoln: @Bob they both cause pain
	11:13am clarke: ha ha bob - good morrrrning!
	11:13am HyperDose: @phat I was told my teeth were growing straight and they wouldn't need to be pulled. Didn't go to the doctor for 10yrs (big mistake). The impacted tooth has caused a litany of issues I'm still slowly recovering from. Had reconstructive sinus surgery back in May. Don't recommend it!
	11:14am clarke: pretty much same story, hyper, but long ago.
	11:14am phat in lincoln: @Squints two. Upper left and lower right. The other two aren't "erupting" yet.
	11:15am PTC: Big Star show was great. I doubt anyone there would disagree.
	11:15am clarke: yes, but it's just better to get them over with, phat.
	11:15am Cat: Greetings, Michael. Needing this today. Very happy about your surprise guests.
	11:16am jmd: This mix sounds different? The mellotron is louder?
	11:16am clarke: i never travel too far...
	11:16am clarke: i don't know about anyone else, but i much prefer a show that is based on quality rather than some kind of criteria. that's just me.
	11:16am HyperDose: @phat My issue was a deviated septum keeping an infection dormant. Once the tooth got removed all hell broke loose. Infectious disease doctor told me it happens to 10-12% of people with teeth extractions. Hope you heal up soon. I know how sucky it is 😔 Hang in there!
	11:16am Ed: Doesn't the new Brower single Where Is The Magic sound exactly like Big Star? They open for NRBQ 2nite
	11:17am Frank In Queens: This one is so great. The live version from Lafayette's Music Room is pretty cool too.
	11:17am Squints: I had mine done a looooong time ago. Two were going to be a problem, two probably weren't. Surgeon took out the others anyway. I was asleep, so fine with me. My brother had sinus polyps taken out about twenty years ago. An unalloyed good but absolutely not a pleasant experience, to hear him tell it.
	11:17am geokopp: Big Star show was stellar!
	11:18am phat in lincoln: @clarke the dentist said wait. I have other issues...
	11:18am prof.fuzz: mornin' y'all
	11:19am clarke: FuZZZ he's awake!!
	11:19am phat in lincoln: Having a dental college here is nice, though.
	11:19am clarke: how wuzzz that gig, Prof??
	11:20am Handy Haversack: Hey hey, prof.fuzz!
	11:20am clarke: hummel - very underrated
	11:21am phat in lincoln: Stamey needs to come to the great plains regardless.
	11:21am prof.fuzz: show was fun. outdoor stage. nice weather. fire pit going for all-natural smoke effect. a good time was had by all.
	11:22am Artie: Saw the final Big Star show of the tour in Chapel Hill last night. Fantastic show and a great audience.
	11:22am Bri: I keep having this recurring dream that my teeth are falling out Hyper
	11:22am clarke: it was an outdoor show, wow. you could have smoked Squints' brisket!
	11:22am prof.fuzz: was just listening to the live recording. sounded pretty good out in the front too. we needed some marshmallows for after show flaming snacks.
	11:23am clarke: the rhythm guitar mix is exquisite, hear.
	11:23am HyperDose: @Squints I had local anesthesia and started to come to while the teeth were getting pulled. Living nightmare The general anesthesia during the sinus procedure was much nicer.
	11:24am Bri: I was high for a week after my wisdom teeth pulled out
	11:24am Squints: The idea of waking up from local while stuff is still going on freaks me out a little.
	11:24am clarke: so was handy
	11:25am phat in lincoln: @HyperDose they gave me an enormous about of local. It started to wear off near the end. My teeth were, apparently, difficult. Probably due to age
	11:25am clarke: i was awake the whole time - the dental surgeon had to brace his knee on my chest!
	11:26am phat in lincoln: @clarke good god
	11:26am Doug in MP: I had my wisdom teeth out on local. The sucking sound as the easy teeth were yanked out will live with me forever
	11:26am Squints: This certainly sounds like something from something.
	11:26am clarke: yeah, but it was worth it.
	11:26am Frank In Queens: @Squints, I had a couple of oral surgeries back in high school before I could get my braces, and I was semi-cognizant for one of them. I didn't feel any pain, put I was able to hear what the doctor and nurses were talking about while performing the procedure, as well as hearing the crushing and grinding that was going on in my mouth while the were working.
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good Saturday FMUvianz ! ~
	11:27am Squints: I hope the rest of my teeth, at my advanced youth, are that stubborn about not coming out.
	11:27am clarke: exactly frank!
	11:27am P-90: This Redd Holt is nice and “jaunty.” Jaunty to the max.
	11:27am clarke: something something.
	11:28am Squints: Frank, did the doctor and nurses dish any dirt?
	11:28am Bob: The only time I ever saw Billy Preston was that period where he was in the Band. That was weird!
	11:28am Frank In Queens: I also started coming out of general anesthesia from a hernia operation when I was 5. That I felt a burning from.
	11:28am phat in lincoln: I did not know that Michael.
	11:28am clarke: yeowwwtch!
	11:29am Frank In Queens: @Squints, actually they were talking about the infidelity of someone they knew.
	11:29am Squints: @clarke, to exert enough force to pull the tooth or "down, boy?"
	11:29am clarke: he had to brace himself to pull the tooth
	11:30am clarke: i could feel 'pressure' but no pain.
	11:30am HyperDose: @Doug + Clarke I will never forget that sound either. Luckily couldn't open my eyes or feel anything, but heard it until they knocked me out again. Had to uber home and almost passed out in the pharmacy lol
	11:31am clarke: i bought a headache.
	11:32am clarke: i just discovered this fun fact: I Bought A Headache and It's Gonna Be A Cool Night by Paul Davis were released the same week!
	11:32am Tim: Agree. Blows my mind; almost half of Georgians say”yep, that’s my man” What the hell?
	11:32am phat in lincoln: NRBQ need to play the great plains too.
	11:33am clarke: and Great Plains needs to play in the south!
	11:34am Squints: White Plains need to play in Edison. Over by the lighthouse.
	11:34am clarke: upset in the making on the other screen.
	11:35am Squints: Good. This tournament, I'm rooting for chaos.
	11:35am clarke: the captain nods.
	11:36am clarke: you are getting chaos. in every part of the world!!
	11:36am WLSClark: Its About Time. I loved that 45 as soon as we got it on DJ copy in 1970/1. Just an awesome track shoulda been a hit.
	11:36am Bob: I was listening to some C&T this week and wishing it was just the backing tracks. Toni really overdid it but the music is wonderful
	11:37am clarke: there ya go, bob! the captain nods again.
	11:37am Squints: Bob, was she especially histrionic on deeper cuts? I don't remember her being especially over the top on the htis.
	11:38am mandy: hi! i discovered this radio station during my senior year of high school. which i just graduated not so long ago. and im learn so many musicians from here! im also using this radio so i can work on my homework at college. lol also LONG ISLAND STRONG!
	11:38am Handy Haversack: Frank, I had hernia surgery at 8. Slept right through it, though.
	11:38am johnk77: nrbq has been good live from now->then or in my life 1977? a pier on the west side of manhattan ->montyhall 2019?
	11:39am Squints: An Englishman named Harold facing off against the Normans. What could possibly go wrong?
	11:39am clarke: nice Mandy!! howdy!!
	11:40am mandy: hiii!
	11:40am clarke: voice of harold.
	11:40am Bri: Hey Mandy! I discovered this station my senior year as well!
	11:40am mandy: also i've been thinking of getting merch from here. it's looks cool!
	11:41am Bri: Welcome to the best station in the world!
	11:41am clarke: those new hoodies look cool!
	11:41am Frank In Queens: @Handy, that's perfect. The pain wasn't sod bad. I recall having some sort of rash around my waistline at the time, and when I was coming out from the gas, I remember talking about how my rash was bothering me. I guess i was either too young to understand what was being done to me, or the drugs were disorienting me.
	11:41am clarke: handy and mandy - both students (after a fashion)
	11:41am Frank In Queens: @mandy, welcome.
	11:42am Squints: mandy, it absolutely is. With respect to this show in particular, get yahself some coastahs, theah.
	11:42am HyperDose: @mandy Only two days left to get your stuff by Christmas! wfmu.store
	11:42am johnk77: the rick hall doc?
	11:42am Squints: Jerry Butler on this sounds like Sammy Davis channeling Tom Jones. I like this.
	11:43am clarke: he likes it!! hey mikey!!
	11:43am Bri: Glad to see someone close to my age on the chat room! :)
	11:43am Squints: Oh. That Harold.
	11:43am clarke: that harold!!!
	11:44am Handy Haversack: Welcome, mandy! Much to learn from the people around here! Not from me, mind, but most of the others.
	11:44am clarke: @mandy - Handy is more a student of the liquor scam, but don't mind him.
	11:45am johnk77: i tried to go to the muscle shoals museum in early 2020 it just started closing for covid:<
	11:45am WLSClark: Let me whisper in yo eeeya.
	11:45am Bri: There’s also 3 other awesome alternate streams on WFMU, Give the drummer radio is mostly world and Avant Garde music, Rock and soul is mostly obscure 60s Northern soul and garage rock, and Sheena’s jungle room goes from lounge to hardcore punk and all sorts of bizarreness!
	11:46am clarke: john - hopefully you'll go back sometime - that place is relatively untouched from its heyday.
	11:46am Handy Haversack: I'm a lifetime learner, clarke!
	11:46am PatrickMC: I'm in love with yeeww 😄 Love it and the arrangement
	11:46am Bri: Me too Handy!
	11:46am myron feld: I love the 3/4 bounciness of this Keely.
	11:46am clarke: and successful!!
	11:47am Bri: Love jazzy/easy listening Beatles renditions! 💗 even the songs Beatles covered like Til there was you or And I love him.
	11:47am Jimmy Wipper: Keely is from Norfolk, VA! "Discovered" down the street at the Cavalier Hotel in Va. Beach.
	11:47am WLSClark: Bri, been listening for only 3 years and never realized there were "categories" for the 4 streams! I just figured main got started, filled up, added another, filled up, added another etc.
	11:47am clarke: WIPPER GODDAM
	11:48am Frank In Queens: @Clark, those are nutshell descriptions of the stream, but there are exceptions to be found within each of them.
	11:48am clarke: it takes keely smiff to get you out of lurking!! howdy-doo!!
	11:48am Listener Baby: One of the Q’s finest. Top 5 Q drum performance in my humble book.
	11:48am Bri: Yeah, I discovered the diffrent categories by researching the different playlists on each station
	11:49am mandy: thanks for the warm welcoming ! :) i'll brb because i have to do my essay for school. lol
	11:49am Jimmy Wipper: @clarke heh heh heh, if Keely can't get you out of lurking who can?!?!
	11:49am Bri: True Frank
	11:49am HyperDose: Some links for you (or anyone else) to bookmark, mandy WFMU main stream - www.wfmu.org... Rock N Soul - wfmu.org... Give The Drummer Radio - wfmu.org... Sheena's Jungle Room - wfmu.org... Fill-ins/special events - www.wfmu.org...
	11:49am clarke: truth.
	11:49am WLSClark: Frank, Bri, thanks. No wonder I mostly listen to RNS stream!
	11:49am Bob: I think it was just the audience that they were playing for. I’m not a Captain and Tennille expert by any means. Her delivery is probably technically correct but a little too over the top for me.
	11:49am myron feld: The R&S stream is also great for rebroadcasts of FMU mothership shows (Downtown Soulville, Todd, Dave the Spazz, Sinner's Crossroads, Weekly World Blues)
	11:49am Frank In Queens: @Bri, but pretty accurate!
	11:49am mandy: thank you @hyperdose
	11:49am Handy Haversack: And special events: wfmu.org...
	11:50am myron feld: And Rex's Fools' Paradise, of course!
	11:50am Bri: Rock and soul is one of my favorites!
	11:50am WLSClark: Bri, yep see you often there. :) NRBQ fave for me is their 45 version of Cmon Everybody.
	11:50am clarke: i have an essay to do as well: The Uzzle Street Chronicles.
	11:51am myron feld: Plus Denny's Den, the best original show on the Rock'n'Soul Stream!
	11:51am HyperDose: @Handy Special events link is at the top of the fill-ins page. Only need to bookmark one since they flip flop
	11:51am Bri: Always love seeing you there Clark! :)
	11:51am clarke: all four is the best way to go - i didn't!!
	11:51am Squints: The word "cognisize" must -- must- be spoken in a Paul Winchell Tigger voice.
	11:51am WLSClark: 2 LINCOLN NE listeners! phat and WLSClark!
	11:52am Handy Haversack: I like to think that the web streams were started because there were some DJs who could just not contain their cursing no matter how hard they tried.
	11:52am Bri: Wait, I thought you lived in Chicago Clark!
	11:52am clarke: uhhh, you ARE insane!
	11:52am WLSClark: Handy, haha. I believe it!
	11:52am Frank In Queens: Ooohhhhhhh!
	11:53am clarke: i hear you need some trackin' work done??
	11:53am Frank In Queens: Love The Eyes/The Pupils!
	11:53am PatrickMC: An indestructible song
	11:53am WLSClark: Bri, I am just a kid who grew up in WLS/WCFL and that led to Chicago 60's and everything Chicago, but grew up DXing all over in Dodge City, Ks. I love radio more than anything, tho.
	11:53am Bri: Yess!!
	11:54am Bri: Same here Clark! Radio is my passion!
	11:54am Creature Boy: I'm an Eyes/ Pupils fan mySeLf
	11:54am myron feld: Don't forget Winona.
	11:55am phat in lincoln: @WLSClark wait what? Nice.
	11:55am clarke: grate planes.
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Listener courtneynoir is also in Lincoln, NE. A DJ on KZUM.org. wfmu.org...
	11:56am clarke: and her airhorns.
	11:56am WLSClark: Handy, yes, I know that too. I was on KZUM 1980-1989 over 500 shows.
	11:56am HyperDose: I grew up on radio including WFMU. Lockdown rekindled my love for it. Great way to discover a lot of older stuff I missed as a youngin.
	11:56am Handy Haversack: Oh. Indeed.
	11:56am Bri: Wow Clark, awesome!
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Morocco advances!
	11:57am Bri: Same here Hyper
	11:57am WLSClark: Hyper, wish I could have heard WFMU from start too!
	11:57am Handy Haversack: And Morocco goes through! Well. A Morocco - France semifinal wouldn't be fraught at all.
	11:57am Creature Boy: Because the eyes only recorded a handful of songs their collections always include pupil Trax. Skeets embraces the miracle of sTeRe0 here
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Nice, WLSClark!
	11:57am phat in lincoln: @Handy Haversack yep. She's an old friend of mine, and a fine drummer.
	11:57am clarke: wild stuff frank. i also saw the isles were way ahead last night. didn't see final score
	11:58am Bri: I was obsessed with all kinds of radio as a kid, Crystal radio, ham radio, cb’s, walkie talkies, shortwave, long wave, medium wave(a.m.)
	11:58am Squints: Maybe not so fraught as France - Algeria.
	11:58am WLSClark: handy, yesterday's matches were incredible. Glad Messi lives another day, and altho I picked Brazil to win it all, was not upset. BOTH matches were so exciting!
	11:58am clarke: rinaldo in tears! love it.
	11:58am Frank In Queens: @clarke, 6-4 was the final. They were up by 3 and the Devils pulled their goalie with like 7 minutes left and got one quick. The rest of the game was a wild ride, but the Isles pulled it out.
	11:59am HyperDose: @WLSClark My dad discovered it when they moved from NYC to NJ. It was the "goofy" station we'd listen to in the car. Thought they rented out the frequency on weekends because it went from reggae to religious stuff. A testament to the diversity of the programming!
	11:59am Bri: I love dissecting radio playlists, I do it as a hobby
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @clare, I can't say I feel too badly for him.
	11:59am clarke: were you there?
	11:59am Handy Haversack: Argentina - Morocco is definitely my preferred final at this point. I like the thought of Europe being totally left out. But I'm a bad person.
	12:00pm clarke: the greatest portugal player of all time?? ... eusebio!!
	12:00pm WLSClark: Bri, my mom, dad, brother were all HAMS as were many WLS DJs. My dad built crystal radios sets with each of us 4 brothers as we came of age. He had HAM license in early 30's less than 10 years after the first were issued.
	12:00pm Ciggy: CR7 ❤️
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, no. A Devils fan friend asked if I wanted to go earlier in the week, but I passed.
	12:01pm Bri: Wow Clark, so cool!
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: Also, the African teams all have the best names. The Atlas Lions!
	12:01pm clarke: dang. handy IS a bad person.
	12:01pm Squints: Goin' to Isels-Bs up at the Gahden Tuesday.
	12:01pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, I'm pulling for a Croatia/Morocco final, this way I can just watch the game without any rooting interests.
	12:01pm clarke: @Frank - how is your music room coming along, sir??
	12:01pm WLSClark: Bri, as I sell off my collection slowly, I have been selling old top 40 radio charts too. I LOVE those surveys of stations across the world.
	12:02pm Bri: Same here Clark! That’s awesome!
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: @Squints, nice. I'm back at UBS on the 23rd against the Panthers unless someone winds up buying my tickets.
	12:02pm WLSClark: Bri, were your parents HAMS by chance?
	12:03pm clarke: i still pull for england - but that is unlikely.
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, it's up and running. It's not 100% where we want it to be, but it's functional. I put it to good use this week, and Christina is up there now.
	12:03pm mandy: oh man i want a ham radio.
	12:03pm Squints: Got to see the Bs beat the 'Canes about a month ago. Always a high point for me since I was a Whalers fan. Guck those fuys.
	12:04pm clarke: what did u pull this weekend? session??
	12:04pm WLSClark: clarke, Ronaldo is done. Goodbye pretty boy. haha Go UK! Actually, Europe is fading fast.
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: @Squints, it's always interesting to to me to see where the Whaler fanbase dispersed to after the move to Raleigh.
	12:04pm Bri: No, but my dad had a Crystal radio as a kid
	12:04pm clarke: i will say this: having everything (or most of) already set-up makes creation so much easier!!
	12:05pm Bri: Same here Mandy!
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, just my next Drop In.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, but it was a good way to learn the sound of the room and work with the mic settings and DAW
	12:05pm clarke: oh sshiiiit!! when??
	12:06pm WLSClark: ANYONE interested in being a HAM or interested in HAM radio needs to see this (AFTER THE SHOW): www.youtube.com...
	12:06pm clarke: what did you decide for DAW??
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: Next Saturday.
	12:06pm WLSClark: PF SLOAN ATTACK! Love him!
	12:07pm clarke: i'll be there, maaan!!
	12:07pm Bri: Same Clark!
	12:07pm clarke: @Frank - you have GREAT drop-in's!!
	12:07pm WLSClark: Gotta go watch NU basketball game now. We're horrible, but.....
	12:07pm PatrickMC: Wow awesome hi-fi!
	12:08pm Bri: See ya Clark!
	12:08pm clarke: with NO dropouts!!
	12:08pm WLSClark: By Bri.
	12:09pm Squints: Frank, for me it was a round trip. Grew up east of Hartford. Was 10 and 12yo for the Bobby Orr cups, then we got the Whalers. Went once or twice a year with my pop with tix via Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. Then they moved and I was too depressed to care about hockey for about ten years. Radio host up here is obnoxious but, God help him, loves hockey. Pulled me back by the late oughts. Hating the Habs was a constant which made it easier.
	12:09pm clarke: huskers, baby!
	12:09pm Handy Haversack: Another "no bad versions" song?
	12:09pm mandy: the song before reminds me of Make Your Own Type Of Music lol
	12:09pm McGroovey: I can imagine a great cover of Where Were You as a slow lament, but I think the rrason most people want to cover it is so they can hit that chorus, in the established Hollies harmony way. And the feel of the rest of the song has to fit with that.
	12:10pm clarke: i dreamed about this song (and big al) the other night.
	12:10pm Creature Boy: Apparently "Where" was written by PF Sloan for Herman's Hermits and their movie Hold On & things went on from there
	12:10pm Squints: McGroovey, I totally grok that.
	12:11pm clarke: this was when joey was married to skeeter, and therefore a TN resident.
	12:11pm clarke: mawnin' McGrooves!!
	12:11pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, thank's man! I love doing them. They're a bit niched, but it's something different on the stream.
	12:12pm clarke: well, i learn something EVERY one!!
	12:12pm clarke: also, it MIGHT be... MovieTime??
	12:13pm Bri: Bought to go to the library, fingers crossed they have the NUGGETS box set
	12:13pm Frank In Queens: @Squints, interesting. I contemplated what I would do if the Isles ever moved (which was a definite possibility for a while there) and I came to the conclusion that I would either start rooting for the Devils or just not watch anymore. I could NEVER root for the goddamn Rangers!
	12:14pm clarke: last night i watched On The Beach for the first time in maybe 20 years - wow, ava gardner puts on a PERFOMANCE!!
	12:14pm clarke: as well as astair and peck and hopkins, ha ha.
	12:15pm Dominick: So much good in this
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, nothing to report since we talked on efd's board, except we have started watching the 5 episode series about the Comedy Store on Amazon. We're enjoying it.
	12:16pm clarke: will have to check comedy store doc.
	12:16pm PatrickMC: Accordions rock
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: @Bri, if they have any of them, just check them out. They're all great, with 1, 2, and Children Of... being essential IMO.
	12:16pm Squints: Call me a whore, Frank, but if the Isles couldn't have gotten their new barn and somehow moved about 120 miles northeast, I'd be a Whalers fan again in a heartbeat. Although in fairness, Quebec City ought to be in line ahead of us.
	12:16pm clarke: you are more into docs than i am.
	12:17pm Squints: Those Nugs boxed sets are each of them the bomb.
	12:17pm Bri: I agree Frank!
	12:17pm clarke: that said, the new Gun Club doc is AMAZING! Ghost On The Highway
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: @squints, I don't think either location gets a team. The next one will be somewhere in the west (probably Texas). They'll wind up relocating the Coyotes before expanding again, I think.
	12:18pm Bob: Clarke, where did you see the Gun doc?
	12:19pm clarke: bob - it's FREE on the youtube
	12:19pm Squints: I grudgingly concede the Lightning on account of their good organization and the Kings because of the big market. But I think it's a waste to have NHL hockey south of Denver or the Ohio River. If you can't play on a pond, you can settle for a minor league club.
	12:19pm clarke: i don't like to spoil, but one of the things that makes the doc great is that ward dotson is interviewed = fantastic
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, adding On The Beach to the list.
	12:20pm Bob: Play some Hollies to lure Casey
	12:21pm Bob: Or maybe Zombies
	12:21pm clarke: oh, man, frank - it's on youtube as well. a depressing flick, but worth seeing.
	12:22pm PatrickMC: Love Gun Club, JLP and that version of Get a Job
	12:22pm Bob: Thanks, Clarke!
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: @squints, but some of the sunbelt teams have done well. Nashville, Dallas, Vegas. Even Carolina.
	12:23pm Bri: Gun club are great!
	12:23pm myron feld: @clarke: this is it? GHOST ON THE HIGHWAY: A PORTAIT OF JEFFREY LEE PIERCE AND THE GUN CLUB by KURT VOSS
	12:23pm clarke: bob - hope ann arbor has calmed to a fevered pitch? i am pulling for blue, in this remainder group
	12:23pm Squints: Ugh. I shudder at the word "Carolina" the way those actors in The Black Adder did at the word "MacBeth."
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: Digging this Frosty number
	12:24pm clarke: that's it Myron - it is really well done!
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: @squints, understandable
	12:24pm Squints: Those cities just have an "oh! hockey!" vibe to them which you don't really get up our way. We're still more about puttin' on the foil.
	12:25pm clarke: (full disclosure: i am friends with ward dotson, jim duckworth and congo)
	12:25pm myron feld: thanks. Looking forward to watching Ward's interview. He's an old friend and bandmate, and he really, really didn't like Jeffery. I doubt that's changed!
	12:25pm Michael Shelley: Questions for John & Casey are welcome!
	12:25pm Bob: Cold and quiet in A2
	12:26pm PatrickMC: Miami one of the great near forgotten albums of the 80s
	12:26pm Michael Shelley: Charlie Brown Drummer: youtu.be...
	12:26pm clarke: well without spoiling too much: no. but there is a very tearful moment. that's spoiling.
	12:27pm clarke: it's curious that jim duckworth is not interviewed (but certainly all over the live footage) because he is a raconteur!!
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay ! Haven't heard JuniorBrown in a minute...
	12:27pm clarke: mornin' Rev!
	12:28pm Mister Dobalina: Now this is my jam!
	12:28pm clarke: The Artist Known As YAY!!
	12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo clarke et al !
	12:29pm Squints: Los Straitjackets did a nifty guitar-based cover of Linus & Lucy a few years back.
	12:29pm Cat: Casey & John: what's your fave xmas album?
	12:29pm clarke: i miss gaylord - sho nuff!!
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: Sounds like a nice holiday treat, Michael
	12:30pm Montmaster J: Question for John and Casey....do they have any idea how set will unfold or does it just flow from Terry spontaneously?
	12:30pm clarke: granelli - sooo goooood
	12:30pm clarke: his cymbal work is exquisite!!
	12:31pm clarke: and for that matter so is ardolino's!
	12:32pm clarke: james hochandel
	12:33pm Bob: John and Casey: Who was better. The Banana Splits or the Archies?
	12:34pm Squints: There ya go, Bob. That'll cause some dysentery in their ranks.
	12:35pm clarke: oof!!
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: SCOTTT!
	12:36pm mandy: ahhh fellow long islander !
	12:36pm clarke: archies had ron dante
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anybody didn't know this is the Thing JuniorBrown plays : i.pinimg.com...
	12:37pm clarke: he's no fleagle but, hey, secret weapon
	12:38pm clarke: i still can't do it. sorry!
	12:39pm Squints: I resisted for a while. Then they came to my town in 2017. Ahhhh, I guess they can stay. 8^) It was a really enjoyable show.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Archies had staggering Pop sensibility but didn't Progress into Psychedelia like the Splits.
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: Why are The Bugaloos not in this conversation?!
	12:44pm clarke: there was that trouble with the law.
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: But that's rock 'n' roll!
	12:45pm clarke: tell that to the bugaloos!
	12:45pm Bri: Well, it’s not the box set, but at least it’s volume one!
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bugaloos - Glam really. Vagaries of Fashion...
	12:48pm clarke: Bugaloos - Behind The Music
	12:49pm clarke: a dalliance with The Pussycats, inclusive.
	12:50pm bobob from Plasticland: big in Milwaukee too and Chic ago bugaboo..seem with REM ..alpine
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they obsessed with beating NRBQ & playing 201 gigs / year - & just burned. It takes a lot of metabolism to be a flying bug...
	12:52pm clarke: am i wrong that this is the first in-studio interview in a LOONG time??
	12:59pm Corey: Thanks for the great interview, Michael! Total blast!
