Listener comments!
	10:35am Listener Baby: Baby. I feel magic in the air. Why?
	11:01am clarke: hey now oh oh oh it's magic.
	11:01am HyperDose: I don't care what anyone says, magic is cool!
	11:01am Peter Horvath: Yo Michael and all the #1ers
	11:01am Aaron in Minneapolis: OOH maybe he can do tricks on air!
	11:01am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:01am Baja Joe: Good morning Mike
	11:02am egould: Michael, are you a caller to the Dan Patrick Show?
	11:02am clarke: Squints - got spring?
	11:03am clarke: ↳ Song: "The El Burro Song" by "Calexico" on drums: john convertino
	11:03am jmd: rippin' start!
	11:03am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:02 Close enough. Not the full April. But pieces of it.
	11:03am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:03 on the cape, april is the cruellest month.
	11:04am DanFA: Is he going to make Michael disappear?
	11:04am rx scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:05am DanFA: ↳ HyperDose @11:01 Hard agree. Definitely recommend the Ricky Jay documentary Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay
	11:05am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:03 I might need a word with that damned groundhog.
	11:06am rx scabin: Close-up radio magic is quite a concept.
	11:06am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "For A Little While" by "Del Shannon" A little Sugar, Sugar
	11:06am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:05 he now prefers to be called phillip.
	11:07am clarke: ↳ DanFA @11:05 need to see this!
	11:07am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:06 That's MISTER Phillip to you and me.
	11:07am listener phat in Lincoln: Morning all.
	11:08am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:07 and Sir Phillip in some portals
	11:08am dale: i like del's 'psych' record. really good.
	11:08am myron feld: ↳ DanFA @11:05 Yes, yes, 1000x times yes. Derek Del Gaudio is wonderful as well: www.hulu.com...
	11:10am DanFA: ↳ myron feld @11:08 Also recommend The X-Files episode he and another close-up magician were in as a pair of con men. Not a great X-Files episode, but it's fun to see Ricky Jay interact with Mulder and Scully.
	11:11am clarke: the side of ricky jay i like is his study and expertise in the con. not so much the magic side - but that's okay too.
	11:11am wenzo: Mornin MS & radio frenz
	11:11am jmd: There are dozens of close-up magic performance videos from The Magic Castle on youtube. Some better than others, all pretty cool.
	11:12am MrDeb: @Dale: which one is that? Do you mean The Further Adventures...? I know nothing re Del Shannon and wanna change that
	11:12am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:11 Agreed. Although wasn't the magic stuff he did a little Harry Anderson wink-wink, reminding us that "it's a gag?" Was Ricky Jay also the one who purported to throw cards through things like they were bladed?
	11:13am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:12 i don't think that was ricky jay, throwing cards.
	11:13am Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @11:02 No sir
	11:14am Squints: ↳ MrDeb @11:12 Do the dive. Not quite Dion-level "never made a bad record," but not that far behind. Just about everything is worthy.
	11:14am pgalub: Hey Michael and everyone! I think Barbara Manning's song "Lately, I Keep Scissors" also has real life scissors on the recording. ✂️

	11:26am Handy Haversack: Strokin'! Oh, wait.
	11:26am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Take It All Off" by "Clarence Carter" There is a proud tradition of wig songs, not to mention wig-hat songs. Take it off, honey!

	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: I need that recipe.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:32 look behind your ear!
	11:34am Peter Horvath: Every Honeybus song is a number one hit
	11:34am Dano59: "vegetarian cheeseburger pizza" is a whole lotta non sequitur oxymoron (from an omnivore)
	11:34am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:32 look behind your ear!
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go" by "Honeybus" Every time I hear this band I feel like I need more
	11:34am Andrea C: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go" by "Honeybus" Sounds familiar to me. I may be recalling this from Wake and Bake.
	11:35am myron feld: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go" by "Honeybus" I first heard Honeybus on a Michael Shelley marathon premium disc some years ago. Another fine reason to support this here station.
	11:35am Handy Haversack: When K8's at band practice, I often eat vegan nachos for one. Which I think is one the saddest phrases the language is capable of. But it sure is tasty.
	11:35am Christina Ginger: Good morning!

	11:39am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:38 i mean, it sort-of IS - but.. different.
	11:40am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:38 does a 3-chord monty trucker hat count as a FeZZZZZZZ???
	11:41am clarke: in some states.
	11:41am clarke: not texas, tho.
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:38 ...not to say AmboyDukes ...cause ...you wouldn't say it ...tho someone might say Them...

	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:41 ...I told you & your Uncle if you didn't keep it tidy we'd have Ants...
	11:44am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:43 except Sir Phillip
	11:44am gf2002: My dad had this Louis Jordan record on 78rpm. When I was a kid I used to play it all the time until one day I tried to put it on the spindle and it literally shattered. He also had Bill Haley's Shake Rattle And Roll on 78rpm...and I accidentally sat on it. Love The Tympany Five!
	11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Hey Julie" by "Fountain Of Wayne" swoon
	11:45am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:42 for the record, i only own one pair of sweatpants...
	11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:45 I'm gonna hold you to that.
	11:45am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 what's up, handy?
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:44 what you said
	11:45am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:44 there is NOTHING like hearing 78's on an old hi-fi (mono) system!!!
	11:46am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:45 are they perhaps joggers or warm-ups?
	11:46am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Hey Julie" by "Fountain Of Wayne" There should be more songs with the word "pennyweight"
	11:46am prof.fuzz: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 it's a rule in casa de fuzz: one pair of sweatpants in, one pair of sweatpants out... they are basic black sweatpants.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ McGroovey @11:46 duly noted.
	11:46am Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @11:36 Hello hello clarke!
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Hey Julie" by "Fountain Of Wayne" Imagine Drumpf hadn't been President, Society functioned & Covid got handled well & Adam Lyons Schlesinger was alive.
	11:47am prof.fuzz: hi christina ginger. enjoyed your show the other day.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:46 how goes? is Queens quieter, right now??
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:46 Sometimes you have to lay down the law.
	11:47am Christina Ginger: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:47 Thanks so much! 😊
	11:48am prof.fuzz: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 fortunately, we no longer have that rule for guitars and pedals.
	11:48am Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @11:47 Queens is quieter until Monday nite. Ha.
	11:49am jmd: whoa, now that's four on the floor!
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:48 ha ha ha. well, it will be quiet for a few days AFTER, too!
	11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" Never have liked the original of this.
	11:49am morphe': " ‘We got bored waiting for Oasis to re-form’: AIsis, the band fronted by an AI Liam Gallagher" https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/apr/18/oasis-aisis-band-fronted-by-an-ai-liam-gallagher
	11:49am Michael Shelley: Here's the pizza: ibb.co...
	11:49am UncleHeavy: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" Wow, full chorus right up front.. why make us wait!??
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" Confabulation of HangOnSloopy arrangement to RighteousBros. tune...
	11:50am egould: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" Not a fan of the original. It’s like a shitty Hang on Sloopy.
	11:50am Rick A: Hello Michael and All, I don't change the station when I hear the original, only because I don't hear it very much because I listen to WFMU most of the time. This version weirdly songs like that song from Grease, "Summer Nights", I think.
	11:50am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:45 Agreed! We had an old console turntable and radio combo unit, a big old wooden thing, and the turntable still had 4 speeds! I never had a 16rpm record to play on it. Sounded great with my dad's 78's, the ones I didn't break. I still have a few.
	11:51am Squints: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" There are at least ten parallel universes wherein this one was the gold record.
	11:51am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" is that a chimes crash on the one???
	11:51am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:50 it would have been great to collect 78's - but, i am glad i did not start that, now. here's the pizza.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well, RighteousBros. original is a slow build. Melodrama. A great thing one has to be in the mood for. & ...not have heard too much.
	11:51am jmd: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" my mistake, eight on the floor.
	11:51am TimG: OK, I’ll take the minority position…I love the Righteous Bros version even if it’s overplayed
	11:52am Rick A: I like the production on The Righteous Brothers' version. It's incredibly dramatic. I just lose myself in it when I hear it.
	11:52am clarke: what is that noise in the background? rope??
	11:52am listener phat in Lincoln: Did he just say, "top 40 trash?"
	11:52am listener phat in Lincoln: Because that's genius.
	11:52am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Dark In My Heart" by "Lee Hazlewood" kick drum solo!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ gf2002 @11:50 Reportedly - 16 RPM was for like Military Instructional recordings ? Big 15" things ???
	11:53am Rick A: Lee Hazlewood is always welcome. Someone should make a documentary about his life and work.
	11:54am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Rick A @11:53 I'm amazed someone hasn't.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rick A @11:53 Is there a bad LeeHazelwood track ? Anywhere ?
	11:55am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:54 there's a great article in a fanzine - i will have to figure out which. i have it SOMEwhere.
	11:55am drr: Lots of sermons released on 16 rpm.
	11:55am clarke: a sermon-collector.
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @11:55 Interesting. Anybody ever seen a 16RPM slab ??
	11:56am gf2002: ↳ Rick A @11:52 I'm a fan too, I love to hear the Wrecking Crew on that record. Earl Palmer got that one on drums instead of Hal. The swell in Gold Star on that one is fantastic, like "I Got You Babe".
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not even a minor Lee doc anywhere ? Are you sure ? ...Not that we want a minor one I suppose...
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 many of the old USO radio transcriptions are/were on 16
	11:58am gf2002: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:53 I don't know much about them, only that they could hold like 40 minutes per side which was much more than the 33 1/3. It was cool to be able to slow down records to 16 to hear/learn guitar solos though
	11:59am myron feld: ↳ gf2002 @11:56 Yes. The bongo/cowbell/whatever comes in midway through the bridge slays me every time.
	11:59am Moammar: This is possibly the only song that namechecks P.P. Arnold.
	11:59am drr: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 Well, yeah, sermons. Our next-door neighbors had some. I think Aretha's dad released some records on 16, maybe even popular ones.
	11:59am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:58 i have found a few in thrift stores, but didn't buy them. one has to cut it off, at SOME point!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:58 Those were the big 15"s - for broadcast in other timezones for instance ?? Or am I conflating things I don't know in the 1st place...
	12:00pm P-90: complete with YLT mention
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:00 yes, they are huge.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:00 that's PRESIDENT YLT!!!
	12:01pm egould: Another hour of #1 Hit Music?!? How does he do it?!?
	12:02pm clarke: someone summoning gaylord?
	12:03pm Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @12:02 Ha, this stuff is like his Bat Signal.
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Liverpool Drag" by "Buggs, The" ...maybe BrianEpstein knew something regarding the Drag scene Merseyside ...which might have been different than what the BeachBoys used the term for...
	12:03pm drr: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:00 Those 15" records were put out by the military. IDK what speed those played at, only seen them in in record stores. Also don't quote me on this but some of the early Nat Cole Trio recordings were made specifically for armed forces radio and originally came out on these big discs.
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @12:03 - to hold whole Radio Programs then presumably...
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:03 those were transcription records and had regular 78 single releases before that.
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @12:03 - the Nazis actually advanced magnetic Tape Recording as it happens ...even a broken clock right twice a day I suppose...
	12:09pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Bucket Of Blood" by "Deke Dickerson And The Whipp... Deke used to play at various branches of the Ocean County Library. Most recently at Barnegat in 2012.
	12:09pm Don Gorden: YO Mike , I'm late to the party today.
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:06 ...cue Tom Lehrer's VonBraun diddy...
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Jenny And The Ess-Dog" by "Steven Malkmus" yessss (dog!)!!
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ David Shortell @12:09 yeah - those were great shows! (nrbq TOO!)
	12:10pm Handy Haversack: Tristen and the Bug Club are playing NYC on the same night. What am I supposed to do with this rich world?
	12:10pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Jenny And The Ess-Dog" by "Steven Malkmus" Never has a toe-ring so ingeniously deployed in song.
	12:10pm SeanG: you always play this song!
	12:10pm Rick A: This is a great song, though it is sadly ironic. I feel bad for the dog. I saw Malkmus on this tour for his first solo albums, great show.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:10 it was only a pennyweight
	12:11pm gf2002: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:06 Yes they did, and it's a fascinating story how an army officer in the signal corps brought some of the tape machines to the US from Germany, and how it eventually got to Bing Crosby and then to Les Paul, and the rest is history. Bing was interested in the new tape technology so he could record his radio programs at home instead of traveling. Bing financed a lot of that technology with tape and tape machines. I think the army officer's name was Dick Ranger. Germany actually had vari-speed technology in use during World War 1, for spies to broadcast messages across the Atlantic via code, which they'd record and transmit at super high speeds that couldn't be deciphered. Fascinating stuff.
	12:11pm Rick A: This is cutting commentary on class differences.
	12:12pm London Calling Francky: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:10 Or a dog named after Trey Anastasio from Phish...
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" BAWSTIN
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" oh yes. hell yess..
	12:12pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" Good God, this track is so goddamn good.
	12:13pm Rick A: NPR had a series on the mixtape which featured that Bing Crosby, World War II, and tape story. It's a very revealing and fascinating story.
	12:13pm Michael Shelley: ↳ SeanG @12:10 Not since Dec 2020. It was due.
	12:13pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" is there a number higher than #1? This is it.
	12:14pm gf2002: ↳ Rick A @12:13 That's very cool, I'll have to find that program! I read about it like 20 years ago in a recording magazine. Thanks for the tip!
	12:14pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" One of the best songs ever
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" Drumstix not to be caught under.
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: ↳ London Calling Francky @12:12 yes, it's full of great details throughout ("a Volvo with ancient plates")
	12:14pm London Calling Francky: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" Killing track!
	12:15pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "She Don't Really Love You, Dude" by "Kurt Baker" Dude!
	12:15pm Moammar: ↳ Moammar @12:15 Dude rock. A new genre.
	12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "She Don't Really Love You, Dude" by "Kurt Baker" Power ✔︎ Pop ✔︎ ...Farfisa ...now yer just showin' off...
	12:17pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:16 Agree - nice icing on the cake
	12:17pm clarke: Nachos For One, Tequila For Two
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:10 You make an excellent point, MS.
	12:17pm egould: ↳ Moammar @12:15 I watched “Baseketball” last night. Matt and Trey call each other dude like 3,000 times during the course of the movie.
	12:18pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Only In Love" by "Bug Club, The" Bug Club : another band of bestsongevermakers!
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:17 ...I mean - energy ...catchiness ...a little sonic novelty now ? What are you the gawdam Beatles...
	12:19pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "She Don't Really Love You, Dude" by "Kurt Baker" I saw him the second day of Asbury Lanes' 2011 Power Pop-A-Licious festival.
	12:19pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:10 You're supposed to go see the Bug Club. Sezz I.
	12:20pm clarke: America's New Hit-Makers!!

	12:24pm clarke: i had a strange dream, this morning. was younger and my parents were still alive. my mom was driving the old station wagon we used to have when i was a kid. here's the pertinent part: on the radio was playing a version of Hold Me Tight - but with lennon on lead. i woke up. this doesn't exist does it?
	12:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: What is it!?
	12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 11/3/1963 here. Just sayin'.
	12:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Three Is A Magic Number" by "Bob Dorough" Math checks out.
	12:26pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Three Is A Magic Number" by "Bob Dorough" Cosmic
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 was hoping so.
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:24 Sometimes denigrated as a throwaway with nothing lyrics ...I put it to you : Listen to that Gittar Tone in 1963 !! Way overdriven & chunky. Metallic !!! In the Rhythm too. & do I hear Ringo's kit metal creaking ? It's Heavy man.
	12:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 i was told there would be no math on this show...
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:27 right? this version was so vivid - not that i have a problem with macca's vocal performance - LOVE it! but, in the dream... omg!!
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:27 you don't have to remember dates, either.
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:29 Early Lennon Vocals ...what can you say. Every now & then they sing Unison & it takes an expert to even tell...
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:30 that's mostly because mccartney could do a good john
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:24 Huge Hold Me Tight fan here. As a kid, it was just so grabby.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 gosh, i wish you could have heard my dream!! so vivid!! turn it up mom!!
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:33 amazing what the brain can cook up on a good night
	12:35pm clarke: it was insane. i hardly ever remember my dreams, but this one stuck!
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:31 Point taken.
	12:36pm clarke: btw, i still have to check out some of your latest blog editions... will get there! they are GREAT!
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:36 that was for hughie, btw.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The perceptual aspect of Illusion fascinates me - in the sense of not really hiding something - but this is how people's senses & attention work so they don't see it.
	12:37pm McGroovey: I'm hearing Paul McCartney singing the Pavement song Trigger Cut in my head right now. Your brain can make anything.
	12:37pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:30 i tend to forget most of the dates i've had. the women did too.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:37 ...not that I know anything about how to so it !....
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:37 what about raisins?
	12:38pm McGroovey: Oh. Now I'm heading Ringo singing The KKK Took My Baby Away.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ McGroovey @12:37 There's some AI of Macca singing something he doesn't going round right now this moment...

	12:39pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:38 pleasant dreams
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:39 that's why the women forget.

	12:40pm clarke: i forget.
	12:40pm Andrea C from the app: Moms, of course!

	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Asi Wind" ah, you have answered my earlier query.
	12:46pm clarke: i dont want to believe he died.
	12:47pm DanFA: ↳ clarke @12:46 Who died?
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ DanFA @12:47 referring to the interview.
	12:49pm clarke: it's like: uhhm, i don't want to believe that the person is really being cut in half by the saw.
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Asi Wind" For someone in a profession that puts me on my guard (whatever that says about me) - he has a really pleasant voice / manner of speaking.
	12:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS and Asi!
	12:56pm Corey: Inspired choice for an interview! Really enjoyed it.

	12:57pm P-90: very nice interview as always, @Michael
	12:57pm clarke: sounded like he had some rope in the background, there.
	12:57pm efd: ↳ Song: "Magic" by "Pilot" I was thinking it was a missed opportunity when you didn't play this before the interview!
	12:58pm gf2002: I thought we'd hear "Strange Magic" in today's show too
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean rather that than more crank callers ...everyone's a critic...
	12:58pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Magic" by "Pilot" is this power pop? discuss.

Listener comments!
	10:35am Listener Baby: Baby. I feel magic in the air. Why?
	11:01am clarke: hey now oh oh oh it's magic.
	11:01am HyperDose: I don't care what anyone says, magic is cool!
	11:01am Peter Horvath: Yo Michael and all the #1ers
	11:01am Aaron in Minneapolis: OOH maybe he can do tricks on air!
	11:01am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:01am Baja Joe: Good morning Mike
	11:02am egould: Michael, are you a caller to the Dan Patrick Show?
	11:02am clarke: Squints - got spring?
	11:03am clarke: ↳ Song: "The El Burro Song" by "Calexico" on drums: john convertino
	11:03am jmd: rippin' start!
	11:03am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:02 Close enough. Not the full April. But pieces of it.
	11:03am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:03 on the cape, april is the cruellest month.
	11:04am DanFA: Is he going to make Michael disappear?
	11:04am rx scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:05am DanFA: ↳ HyperDose @11:01 Hard agree. Definitely recommend the Ricky Jay documentary Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay
	11:05am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:03 I might need a word with that damned groundhog.
	11:06am rx scabin: Close-up radio magic is quite a concept.
	11:06am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "For A Little While" by "Del Shannon" A little Sugar, Sugar
	11:06am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:05 he now prefers to be called phillip.
	11:07am clarke: ↳ DanFA @11:05 need to see this!
	11:07am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:06 That's MISTER Phillip to you and me.
	11:07am listener phat in Lincoln: Morning all.
	11:08am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:07 and Sir Phillip in some portals
	11:08am dale: i like del's 'psych' record. really good.
	11:08am myron feld: ↳ DanFA @11:05 Yes, yes, 1000x times yes. Derek Del Gaudio is wonderful as well: www.hulu.com...
	11:10am DanFA: ↳ myron feld @11:08 Also recommend The X-Files episode he and another close-up magician were in as a pair of con men. Not a great X-Files episode, but it's fun to see Ricky Jay interact with Mulder and Scully.
	11:11am clarke: the side of ricky jay i like is his study and expertise in the con. not so much the magic side - but that's okay too.
	11:11am wenzo: Mornin MS & radio frenz
	11:11am jmd: There are dozens of close-up magic performance videos from The Magic Castle on youtube. Some better than others, all pretty cool.
	11:12am MrDeb: @Dale: which one is that? Do you mean The Further Adventures...? I know nothing re Del Shannon and wanna change that
	11:12am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:11 Agreed. Although wasn't the magic stuff he did a little Harry Anderson wink-wink, reminding us that "it's a gag?" Was Ricky Jay also the one who purported to throw cards through things like they were bladed?
	11:13am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:12 i don't think that was ricky jay, throwing cards.
	11:13am Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @11:02 No sir
	11:14am Squints: ↳ MrDeb @11:12 Do the dive. Not quite Dion-level "never made a bad record," but not that far behind. Just about everything is worthy.
	11:14am pgalub: Hey Michael and everyone! I think Barbara Manning's song "Lately, I Keep Scissors" also has real life scissors on the recording. ✂️
	11:14am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:12 speaking of harry anderson, i have become pals with his widow who lives about 4 blocks from me - great gal!
	11:15am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:14 ello pedro!
	11:15am pgalub: ↳ clarke @11:15 Hey clarke!
	11:16am Squints: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" by "Rubinoos, The" A-number-one right here.
	11:16am clarke: wassup main?
	11:16am Steve from Dunwoody: #1
	11:16am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:16 uhh, it's in the lyrics!
	11:17am Michael Shelley: ↳ Steve from Dunwoody @11:16 YES!
	11:17am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:16 Ain't bragging if they can do it.
	11:18am clarke: no brag, just fact.
	11:18am Crei6hton: Morning WFMU
	11:18am dale: ↳ MrDeb @11:12 yeah, further adventures of charles westover.
	11:19am clarke: MS - how does/did Fool Me change the magic world?
	11:19am listener phat in Lincoln: Doing the Beatles sorter right now. Lol
	11:20am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:19 wellsir, good day!
	11:20am Squints: ↳ Song: "She May Call You Up Tonight" by "Left Banke, The" BankE
	11:20am Steve from Dunwoody: I don’t know, “I Only Want to Dance with You” has the same feel/vibe/radio-pop with earlier technology.
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: Can't ever get enough Left Banke.
	11:21am clarke: they sure can sing and play, tho
	11:21am clarke: lukovsky.
	11:21am Jay S.: New Jersey band?
	11:22am clarke: nyc
	11:22am Handy Haversack: Hey now! Michael and all the Shellegamers!
	11:22am clarke: some of them from new rochelle, i believe
	11:23am clarke: handrew - how's the Kingdom?
	11:23am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:23 Extremely unruly! I'm trying to make/eat brunch here!
	11:24am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:23 there's a beverage here!!
	11:24am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:22 Home of Rob and Laura Petrie
	11:25am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:24 a red edsel.
	11:26am clarke: there's so many wigs in nola!
	11:26am Handy Haversack: Strokin'! Oh, wait.
	11:26am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Take It All Off" by "Clarence Carter" There is a proud tradition of wig songs, not to mention wig-hat songs. Take it off, honey!
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:26 let that afro flow
	11:27am drr: heh heh
	11:28am drr: (my Clarence Carter impression)
	11:28am clarke: mornin' dave! cloudy tho it be.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ drr @11:28 we figured that.
	11:28am Handy Haversack: ¡Nuevo!
	11:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "77" by "Nuevo" Any chance these guys would do a live set, MS? Or come to NYC/NJ one day?
	11:29am rx scabin: Thank you, Michael. I must leave. I would much rather stay.
	11:30am clarke: rx have a gooder!
	11:31am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:25 !
	11:32am Handy Haversack: I can't see any Michael Shelley Show coasters in the Asi Wind picture. Had he made them disappear.
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: I need that recipe.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:32 look behind your ear!
	11:34am Peter Horvath: Every Honeybus song is a number one hit
	11:34am Dano59: "vegetarian cheeseburger pizza" is a whole lotta non sequitur oxymoron (from an omnivore)
	11:34am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:32 look behind your ear!
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go" by "Honeybus" Every time I hear this band I feel like I need more
	11:34am Andrea C: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go" by "Honeybus" Sounds familiar to me. I may be recalling this from Wake and Bake.
	11:35am myron feld: ↳ Song: "I Can't Let Maggie Go" by "Honeybus" I first heard Honeybus on a Michael Shelley marathon premium disc some years ago. Another fine reason to support this here station.
	11:35am Handy Haversack: When K8's at band practice, I often eat vegan nachos for one. Which I think is one the saddest phrases the language is capable of. But it sure is tasty.
	11:35am Christina Ginger: Good morning!
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:35 amazingly, to go with, it's tequila for two!
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz ~
	11:36am clarke: christina - good mawnin'!!
	11:37am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	11:37am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZ!
	11:38am clarke: wearing a FeZZZZZZ!
	11:38am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEEEEE! HandYYYYYYYYYY!
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Song: "Baby Please Don't Go" by "Billy Lee Riley and His... wow, i always assumed this was the muddy waters song!
	11:39am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:38 i mean, it sort-of IS - but.. different.
	11:40am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:38 does a 3-chord monty trucker hat count as a FeZZZZZZZ???
	11:41am clarke: in some states.
	11:41am clarke: not texas, tho.
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:38 ...not to say AmboyDukes ...cause ...you wouldn't say it ...tho someone might say Them...
	11:41am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:41 are those states "pants-optional"? asking for a friend...
	11:41am clarke: them?? not them!!
	11:42am Michael Shelley: ↳ drr @11:27 lol
	11:42am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:41 tell your friend that sweatpants are NOT trousers!!
	11:42am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:36 Math checks out.
	11:42am Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:29 I have reached out... so you never know
	11:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:38 Hey, prof.!
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:42 that's a miracle.
	11:43am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:42 No prince of the blood ever said, "I'd like to be your sweatpants."
	11:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:42 Fantastic. Here's hoping!
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:41 ...I told you & your Uncle if you didn't keep it tidy we'd have Ants...
	11:44am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:43 except Sir Phillip
	11:44am gf2002: My dad had this Louis Jordan record on 78rpm. When I was a kid I used to play it all the time until one day I tried to put it on the spindle and it literally shattered. He also had Bill Haley's Shake Rattle And Roll on 78rpm...and I accidentally sat on it. Love The Tympany Five!
	11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Hey Julie" by "Fountain Of Wayne" swoon
	11:45am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:42 for the record, i only own one pair of sweatpants...
	11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:45 I'm gonna hold you to that.
	11:45am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 what's up, handy?
	11:45am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:44 what you said
	11:45am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:44 there is NOTHING like hearing 78's on an old hi-fi (mono) system!!!
	11:46am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:45 are they perhaps joggers or warm-ups?
	11:46am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Hey Julie" by "Fountain Of Wayne" There should be more songs with the word "pennyweight"
	11:46am prof.fuzz: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 it's a rule in casa de fuzz: one pair of sweatpants in, one pair of sweatpants out... they are basic black sweatpants.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ McGroovey @11:46 duly noted.
	11:46am Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @11:36 Hello hello clarke!
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Hey Julie" by "Fountain Of Wayne" Imagine Drumpf hadn't been President, Society functioned & Covid got handled well & Adam Lyons Schlesinger was alive.
	11:47am prof.fuzz: hi christina ginger. enjoyed your show the other day.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:46 how goes? is Queens quieter, right now??
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:46 Sometimes you have to lay down the law.
	11:47am Christina Ginger: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:47 Thanks so much! 😊
	11:48am prof.fuzz: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:47 fortunately, we no longer have that rule for guitars and pedals.
	11:48am Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @11:47 Queens is quieter until Monday nite. Ha.
	11:49am jmd: whoa, now that's four on the floor!
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:48 ha ha ha. well, it will be quiet for a few days AFTER, too!
	11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" Never have liked the original of this.
	11:49am morphe': " ‘We got bored waiting for Oasis to re-form’: AIsis, the band fronted by an AI Liam Gallagher" https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/apr/18/oasis-aisis-band-fronted-by-an-ai-liam-gallagher
	11:49am Michael Shelley: Here's the pizza: ibb.co...
	11:49am UncleHeavy: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" Wow, full chorus right up front.. why make us wait!??
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" Confabulation of HangOnSloopy arrangement to RighteousBros. tune...
	11:50am egould: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" Not a fan of the original. It’s like a shitty Hang on Sloopy.
	11:50am Rick A: Hello Michael and All, I don't change the station when I hear the original, only because I don't hear it very much because I listen to WFMU most of the time. This version weirdly songs like that song from Grease, "Summer Nights", I think.
	11:50am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:45 Agreed! We had an old console turntable and radio combo unit, a big old wooden thing, and the turntable still had 4 speeds! I never had a 16rpm record to play on it. Sounded great with my dad's 78's, the ones I didn't break. I still have a few.
	11:51am Squints: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" There are at least ten parallel universes wherein this one was the gold record.
	11:51am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" is that a chimes crash on the one???
	11:51am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:50 it would have been great to collect 78's - but, i am glad i did not start that, now. here's the pizza.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well, RighteousBros. original is a slow build. Melodrama. A great thing one has to be in the mood for. & ...not have heard too much.
	11:51am jmd: ↳ Song: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by "Cindermen, The" my mistake, eight on the floor.
	11:51am TimG: OK, I’ll take the minority position…I love the Righteous Bros version even if it’s overplayed
	11:52am Rick A: I like the production on The Righteous Brothers' version. It's incredibly dramatic. I just lose myself in it when I hear it.
	11:52am clarke: what is that noise in the background? rope??
	11:52am listener phat in Lincoln: Did he just say, "top 40 trash?"
	11:52am listener phat in Lincoln: Because that's genius.
	11:52am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Dark In My Heart" by "Lee Hazlewood" kick drum solo!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ gf2002 @11:50 Reportedly - 16 RPM was for like Military Instructional recordings ? Big 15" things ???
	11:53am Rick A: Lee Hazlewood is always welcome. Someone should make a documentary about his life and work.
	11:54am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Rick A @11:53 I'm amazed someone hasn't.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rick A @11:53 Is there a bad LeeHazelwood track ? Anywhere ?
	11:55am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:54 there's a great article in a fanzine - i will have to figure out which. i have it SOMEwhere.
	11:55am drr: Lots of sermons released on 16 rpm.
	11:55am clarke: a sermon-collector.
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @11:55 Interesting. Anybody ever seen a 16RPM slab ??
	11:56am gf2002: ↳ Rick A @11:52 I'm a fan too, I love to hear the Wrecking Crew on that record. Earl Palmer got that one on drums instead of Hal. The swell in Gold Star on that one is fantastic, like "I Got You Babe".
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not even a minor Lee doc anywhere ? Are you sure ? ...Not that we want a minor one I suppose...
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 many of the old USO radio transcriptions are/were on 16
	11:58am gf2002: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:53 I don't know much about them, only that they could hold like 40 minutes per side which was much more than the 33 1/3. It was cool to be able to slow down records to 16 to hear/learn guitar solos though
	11:59am myron feld: ↳ gf2002 @11:56 Yes. The bongo/cowbell/whatever comes in midway through the bridge slays me every time.
	11:59am Moammar: This is possibly the only song that namechecks P.P. Arnold.
	11:59am drr: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:56 Well, yeah, sermons. Our next-door neighbors had some. I think Aretha's dad released some records on 16, maybe even popular ones.
	11:59am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:58 i have found a few in thrift stores, but didn't buy them. one has to cut it off, at SOME point!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:58 Those were the big 15"s - for broadcast in other timezones for instance ?? Or am I conflating things I don't know in the 1st place...
	12:00pm P-90: complete with YLT mention
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:00 yes, they are huge.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ P-90 @12:00 that's PRESIDENT YLT!!!
	12:01pm egould: Another hour of #1 Hit Music?!? How does he do it?!?
	12:02pm clarke: someone summoning gaylord?
	12:03pm Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @12:02 Ha, this stuff is like his Bat Signal.
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Liverpool Drag" by "Buggs, The" ...maybe BrianEpstein knew something regarding the Drag scene Merseyside ...which might have been different than what the BeachBoys used the term for...
	12:03pm drr: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:00 Those 15" records were put out by the military. IDK what speed those played at, only seen them in in record stores. Also don't quote me on this but some of the early Nat Cole Trio recordings were made specifically for armed forces radio and originally came out on these big discs.
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @12:03 - to hold whole Radio Programs then presumably...
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:03 those were transcription records and had regular 78 single releases before that.
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @12:03 - the Nazis actually advanced magnetic Tape Recording as it happens ...even a broken clock right twice a day I suppose...
	12:09pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Bucket Of Blood" by "Deke Dickerson And The Whipp... Deke used to play at various branches of the Ocean County Library. Most recently at Barnegat in 2012.
	12:09pm Don Gorden: YO Mike , I'm late to the party today.
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:06 ...cue Tom Lehrer's VonBraun diddy...
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Jenny And The Ess-Dog" by "Steven Malkmus" yessss (dog!)!!
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ David Shortell @12:09 yeah - those were great shows! (nrbq TOO!)
	12:10pm Handy Haversack: Tristen and the Bug Club are playing NYC on the same night. What am I supposed to do with this rich world?
	12:10pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Jenny And The Ess-Dog" by "Steven Malkmus" Never has a toe-ring so ingeniously deployed in song.
	12:10pm SeanG: you always play this song!
	12:10pm Rick A: This is a great song, though it is sadly ironic. I feel bad for the dog. I saw Malkmus on this tour for his first solo albums, great show.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:10 it was only a pennyweight
	12:11pm gf2002: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:06 Yes they did, and it's a fascinating story how an army officer in the signal corps brought some of the tape machines to the US from Germany, and how it eventually got to Bing Crosby and then to Les Paul, and the rest is history. Bing was interested in the new tape technology so he could record his radio programs at home instead of traveling. Bing financed a lot of that technology with tape and tape machines. I think the army officer's name was Dick Ranger. Germany actually had vari-speed technology in use during World War 1, for spies to broadcast messages across the Atlantic via code, which they'd record and transmit at super high speeds that couldn't be deciphered. Fascinating stuff.
	12:11pm Rick A: This is cutting commentary on class differences.
	12:12pm London Calling Francky: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:10 Or a dog named after Trey Anastasio from Phish...

	12:12pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" Good God, this track is so goddamn good.
	12:13pm Rick A: NPR had a series on the mixtape which featured that Bing Crosby, World War II, and tape story. It's a very revealing and fascinating story.
	12:13pm Michael Shelley: ↳ SeanG @12:10 Not since Dec 2020. It was due.
	12:13pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" is there a number higher than #1? This is it.
	12:14pm gf2002: ↳ Rick A @12:13 That's very cool, I'll have to find that program! I read about it like 20 years ago in a recording magazine. Thanks for the tip!
	12:14pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" One of the best songs ever
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Help You Ann" by "Lyres, The" Drumstix not to be caught under.
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: ↳ London Calling Francky @12:12 yes, it's full of great details throughout ("a Volvo with ancient plates")

	12:17pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:16 Agree - nice icing on the cake
	12:17pm clarke: Nachos For One, Tequila For Two
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:10 You make an excellent point, MS.
	12:17pm egould: ↳ Moammar @12:15 I watched “Baseketball” last night. Matt and Trey call each other dude like 3,000 times during the course of the movie.
	12:18pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Only In Love" by "Bug Club, The" Bug Club : another band of bestsongevermakers!
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:17 ...I mean - energy ...catchiness ...a little sonic novelty now ? What are you the gawdam Beatles...
	12:19pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "She Don't Really Love You, Dude" by "Kurt Baker" I saw him the second day of Asbury Lanes' 2011 Power Pop-A-Licious festival.
	12:19pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:10 You're supposed to go see the Bug Club. Sezz I.
	12:20pm clarke: America's New Hit-Makers!!

	12:24pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Song: "Three Is A Magic Number" by "Bob Dorough" The drummer! (Grady Tate, I think)
	12:24pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Three Is A Magic Number" by "Bob Dorough" De La Soul!
	12:24pm clarke: i had a strange dream, this morning. was younger and my parents were still alive. my mom was driving the old station wagon we used to have when i was a kid. here's the pertinent part: on the radio was playing a version of Hold Me Tight - but with lennon on lead. i woke up. this doesn't exist does it?
	12:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: What is it!?
	12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 11/3/1963 here. Just sayin'.
	12:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Three Is A Magic Number" by "Bob Dorough" Math checks out.
	12:26pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Three Is A Magic Number" by "Bob Dorough" Cosmic
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 was hoping so.
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:24 Sometimes denigrated as a throwaway with nothing lyrics ...I put it to you : Listen to that Gittar Tone in 1963 !! Way overdriven & chunky. Metallic !!! In the Rhythm too. & do I hear Ringo's kit metal creaking ? It's Heavy man.
	12:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 i was told there would be no math on this show...
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:27 right? this version was so vivid - not that i have a problem with macca's vocal performance - LOVE it! but, in the dream... omg!!
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:27 you don't have to remember dates, either.
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:29 Early Lennon Vocals ...what can you say. Every now & then they sing Unison & it takes an expert to even tell...
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:30 that's mostly because mccartney could do a good john
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:24 Huge Hold Me Tight fan here. As a kid, it was just so grabby.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 gosh, i wish you could have heard my dream!! so vivid!! turn it up mom!!
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:33 amazing what the brain can cook up on a good night
	12:35pm clarke: it was insane. i hardly ever remember my dreams, but this one stuck!
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:31 Point taken.
	12:36pm clarke: btw, i still have to check out some of your latest blog editions... will get there! they are GREAT!
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:36 that was for hughie, btw.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The perceptual aspect of Illusion fascinates me - in the sense of not really hiding something - but this is how people's senses & attention work so they don't see it.
	12:37pm McGroovey: I'm hearing Paul McCartney singing the Pavement song Trigger Cut in my head right now. Your brain can make anything.
	12:37pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:30 i tend to forget most of the dates i've had. the women did too.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:37 ...not that I know anything about how to so it !....

	12:39pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:38 pleasant dreams
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:39 that's why the women forget.
	12:40pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:39 what women???

	12:40pm Andrea C from the app: Moms, of course!
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ HyperDose @12:39 StraightMan : 'You know what the secret of Comedy is don't you?' FunnyMan: 'No ...what is the secret to your Timing?'...

	12:48pm clarke: ↳ DanFA @12:47 referring to the interview.
	12:49pm clarke: it's like: uhhm, i don't want to believe that the person is really being cut in half by the saw.
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Asi Wind" For someone in a profession that puts me on my guard (whatever that says about me) - he has a really pleasant voice / manner of speaking.

	12:57pm clarke: sounded like he had some rope in the background, there.
	12:57pm efd: ↳ Song: "Magic" by "Pilot" I was thinking it was a missed opportunity when you didn't play this before the interview!
	12:58pm gf2002: I thought we'd hear "Strange Magic" in today's show too
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean rather that than more crank callers ...everyone's a critic...
