	4:48pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi there, GG. How was your day?
	4:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: PK!! Hello, my lovely!!! :-) I've had a fab day :-) AND my leg is getting better <3
	4:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: How are YOU? <3
	4:54pm Paper Kosmonaut: Had a busy day. Mainly editing but also cycling criss-cross through town to get stuff, like collecting my new camera back from repairs and a harddisk with footage.
	4:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That sounds very productive and very healthy as well :-)
	4:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It does feel very odd to be doing a show on a Monday :-) It's like revisiting an old house or something :-)
	4:57pm Paper Kosmonaut: Well when stuff gets boring, you can always revisit LHT in fill-in shows...
	4:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Ah! I did that a few backs when I filled-in for Darryl :-) that was a lot of fun :-)
	4:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Dear old LHT ;-)
	4:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: A few backs?? Lol! A few weeks back. That's better
	4:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I haven't even started and I already can't type ;-)
	4:58pm David in California: Hello DJGG and PK. Looking forward to the show.
	4:59pm Paper Kosmonaut: Moesn't Datter. I mow what you knean.
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey David!! :-)
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - ;-)
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do love Joe Meek records :-)
	5:01pm Paper Kosmonaut: Joe Meek also would be a good name for a bathroom furnishing company.
	5:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Speciality, stomping on the floor ;-)
	5:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: These songs are just so atmospheric.
	5:03pm Elizabeth: Hi Georgy! Hi everyone! I am so happy I can listen to show! I am not on the public service desk! I will able to listen to most of the show!
	5:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Elizabeth, my lovely!! So happy you're here! :-)
	5:03pm David in California: Have I the Right was the first Joe Meek produced song I was familiar with. It had a different quality than other British Invasion songs.
	5:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @David in CA - Yes!!! He really did have a sound all his own :-) He was a genius
	5:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: He could genuinely hear sounds that no one else could - can you imagine what he'd do with modern technology?
	5:05pm Becky Ebenkamp: Shoot! On the wrong playlist!
	5:05pm Mr Fab: Oops, we were on the wrong playlist. Here we are!
	5:06pm Elizabeth: Joe Meek was so unique! One of my favorites and my husband loves him also!
	5:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Becky!!! :-) How are you, my lovely?
	5:06pm StringOFperils: Hello, just popping over from the wrong playlist
	5:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Mr Fab!! I knew the siren call of Joe Meek would get you here ;-)
	5:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello SOp!!! :-)
	5:06pm MHLee: Hi blessed friends
	5:06pm Becky Ebenkamp: I love Joe’s productions! Not so much his extracurricular activities (involving mom)
	5:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - I really must get to the Holloway Road! I promised you all photos before You Know What happened.
	5:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: MHLee!! Hello, lovely :-)
	5:07pm The Knave: Hey from Melbourne, Australia (and the Drummer Stream) … about time I visited the Jungle Rooms!
	5:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - he was an odd duck, as most geniuses seem to be! Lol
	5:07pm Becky Ebenkamp: Crazy weekend in Palm Springs but I survived
	5:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The Knave! Hello and welcome to the Jungle! :-)
	5:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Oh my!! Did you have a good crazy time? :-) Fabulous show yesterday by the way!! <3
	5:09pm Becky Ebenkamp: Thank you. I made the most of it. Is anyone good at Tik Tok?
	5:09pm The Knave: Glad to be here.. the Jungle is just my kinda wild. Making early Tuesday morning here off to a good start..
	5:09pm Elizabeth: I just found the Look at Life British soho coffee house short you are talking about on youtube!
	5:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - I haven't a clue abput Tik Tok ...I feel like such an old fart ;-)
	5:10pm Becky Ebenkamp: I want to see that!
	5:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @The Knave - We're an eclectic bunch, I'll say that :-)
	5:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - It's so much fun, isn't it? You see what I mean about the narrator ;-)
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - I'll send you the link :-)
	5:11pm Becky Ebenkamp: Me, neither. I kind of got robbed. It was out of my own stupidity. But it turns out I captured the thief on my camera! So it’s funny! I want to post it.
	5:11pm Becky Ebenkamp: Real life Blow Up!
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: We're barely ten minutes in and I'm daydreaming about coffee at Bar Italia in Frith Street :-)
	5:11pm MHLee: Meek often gets a spaghetti western... but like sung in space sound
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - You got robbed!! Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that <3
	5:12pm Becky Ebenkamp: Here we go…
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Brilliant description!!! :-)
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "Half an ahhhh" ;-)
	5:13pm Paper Kosmonaut: Is it strange I still prefer a plain home-brewed pot of strong black filter coffee?
	5:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Nowt wrong with that :-) I'm happily chugging a pour over as we speak :-)
	5:13pm Becky Ebenkamp: I just to,d Domenic you were doing Joe Meek and he’s running in. He has a lot of Joe stories, I think.
	5:13pm MHLee: @Becky I'm probably the youngest hear but I have almost no connection to anything going on the world and that includes tiktok
	5:13pm Mr Fab: Welcome The Knave to the Animal House of WFMU!
	5:14pm Elizabeth: One of my regrets is not going to Bar Italia- when I was in London 7 years ago- I was right across the street, but I didn't have time!
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Ooo!!! I'm waving at him! :-)
	5:14pm Becky Ebenkamp: Are those Buddy Holly Chipmunk angels singing backup?
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - ;-)
	5:14pm StringOFperils: Sheena's. Where blue men drink their coffee black
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - next time you're here I'll treat you to a coffee :-)
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Lol!!
	5:14pm Paper Kosmonaut: too late for me, GG. I cannot sleep when I have coffee that late at night.
	5:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - Exactly! :-)
	5:15pm Becky Ebenkamp: I should just hang out at schoolyards…
	5:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Oh it's decaf! :-)
	5:15pm Paper Kosmonaut: Buddy Holly Chipmunk Angels. Great band name.
	5:15pm The Knave: Hey Mr Fab! Great to be here visiting from the WFMU Drummer circle..
	5:15pm Becky Ebenkamp: Don’t forget Buddy!
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "Please welcome to the stage ..... The Buddy Holly Chipmunk Angels!!"
	5:16pm Mr Fab: NOT The Blue Men Group. In case you go to their show expecting such space-age exotica.
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - The sheer volume of artists who wouldn't be here were it not for Buddy <3
	5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - Where's Joe??? Why are you doing that weird miming thing?? Who is this? ;-)
	5:17pm Becky Ebenkamp: But how many received PERSONAL GUIDANCE after the plane crash?
	5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Exactly! ;-)
	5:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The Outlaws featuring none other than Chas Hodges and Richie Blackmore :-)
	5:18pm Becky Ebenkamp: The Thunderbirds owe a lot to Joe
	5:18pm Becky Ebenkamp: Did Sutch work with him?
	5:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Oh goodness yes!!!
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - He did indeed. I almost played a Sutch track today as it happens :-)
	5:19pm MHLee: I actually got a lot of Meek tracks on a Blackmore compilation.
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The concept of Joe Meek and Screaming Lord Sutch in the same room is insane tho ;-)
	5:19pm MHLee: Because Heinz and the boys
	5:19pm Becky Ebenkamp: RB reminded me, of course ; )
	5:19pm Becky Ebenkamp: Dave is my fave.
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Of course!! There's such a rich family tree here :-)
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - :-)
	5:20pm Elizabeth: @ Georgy! That would be awesome!
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - <3
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's those Chipmunks again ;-)
	5:21pm Becky Ebenkamp: More than anyone, to me, Joe Meek has a production “style.” Some people may say Phil Spector. I can always recognize Joe.
	5:21pm Becky Ebenkamp: The Chipmunks help…
	5:21pm Paper Kosmonaut: One got away and played that laughing gnome for David Bowie.
	5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - <3 to that comment!! He had his own universe, absolutely.
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - The renegade gnome!!! Also a fine prog band ;-)
	5:22pm Paper Kosmonaut: He probably lived in his own universe as well.
	5:22pm Mr Fab: Totally, Becky. has anyone even tried to produce in a Joe Meek style, even as a homage? Dont think it can be done.
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I mean ... yeah. Poor old bastard.
	5:22pm Becky Ebenkamp: And it is a sound/style I love. I didn’t know about him until I was grown up, so had to trace it back.
	5:23pm MHLee: Has anyone done a seance for Joe Meek? If not that should be us.
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - You'd need a completely different brain I think!
	5:23pm Becky Ebenkamp: Is it the room? What tricks is he using?!
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - He manages to sound both out of this world and very British simultaneously
	5:23pm Feldpausch: I was in the wrong place. Mr Fab, thanks for leaving the notes
	5:23pm Becky Ebenkamp: It sounds like outer space!
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Woah! That would be wild
	5:24pm Feldpausch: HI GEORGY!
	5:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: I was, too, Feldpausch!
	5:24pm MHLee: Meek was very into ghosts...
	5:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - he started off at EMI as an engineer, but he used to take radios apart as a child. :-)
	5:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: Have a Meek Xmas!
	5:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Adam!! Hello, lovely!! :-)
	5:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Oh all sorts! Ghosts, aliens ... you name it! :-)
	5:25pm Paper Kosmonaut: I also was in the wrong playlist a lot earlier tonight.
	5:25pm Elizabeth: I never know Meek had a Christmas song!
	5:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is from Wiki about the "I Hear A New World" album: "He achieved this as a sound engineer by blending the Blue Men's skiffle/rock-and-roll style with a range of sound effects created by such kitchen-sink methods as blowing bubbles in water with a straw, draining water out of a sink, shorting out an electrical circuit and banging partly filled milk bottles with spoons; however, one must listen carefully to detect these prosaic origins in the finished product. Another feature of the recordings is the early use of stereophonic sound."
	5:26pm Becky Ebenkamp: Sutch would do that song justice
	5:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I believe Joe was one of the first to get artists to record in different parts of the flat for echoes and suchlike.
	5:27pm Becky Ebenkamp: I definitely think water was involved
	5:27pm MHLee: Right, that's the thing about Meek. Telstar's opening is a toilet flushing... he was like a DIY producer that somehow was producing tonnes of music for tonnes of bands... some which were hits even
	5:27pm Becky Ebenkamp: What if these methods amped up the crazy somehow?
	5:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - he famously stomped on the upstairs bathroom floor to get the big booming percussion effects on "Have I The Right" :-)
	5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Yes!!! I think everything was a potential sound to him :-)
	5:28pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, man. It’s not all Honey?
	5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - I think the crazy was already there ...
	5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Possibly bi-polar ... He did a LOT of drugs as well.
	5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - It's probably 40% Honey and 60% Joe stomping on the floor :-)
	5:29pm Becky Ebenkamp: I imagine him breaking the floorboards and falling into the kitchen. And then yelling at mom because SHE ruined the dinner.
	5:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Lol!
	5:31pm Becky Ebenkamp: Yes, I think so, too. A bit of nurture and nature
	5:31pm Aitch: On the wrong list, thanks Mr Fab. Hey Georgy and gang
	5:31pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi, Aitch!
	5:31pm MHLee: This song is so American that in the soft English accent is odd
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mitch Mitchell played for him once and once only, and was so terrified that he pissed himself and never went back! He also turned down The Beatles AND Tom Jones ;-)
	5:32pm WR: Where did that ring come from?
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Aitch!! :-)
	5:32pm Becky Ebenkamp: This versh is so much better
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - ;-)
	5:32pm Becky Ebenkamp: Imagine Colin singing it, tho
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi WR! :-)
	5:32pm Elizabeth: I watched a movie a few weeks ago called "The Small World of Sammy Lee"- great shots of Soho in 1963- I saw the 2ii's coffee bar!
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's very clean cut British pop chap ;-)
	5:33pm Aitch: Warn Laura perhaps?
	5:33pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello!
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - OH MY GOODNESS!! Yes :-)
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - The 2Is!! :-)
	5:33pm Becky Ebenkamp: Can you imaging if Joe worked with the Zombies? Would that have been a good match?
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Aitch - Send Laura a Post-It note ;-)
	5:33pm Becky Ebenkamp: Assuming no sharp objects?
	5:33pm MHLee: people who graduated from high school sometimes pay hundreds of dollars in rings that say so... used to be a bigger thing
	5:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - He would tried to make them sound like his other bands, I think. Or terrified them!
	5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - I've seen so many YouTube videos of late of chaps doing these elaborate proposals on cliffs and mountains ... and of, course they lose the damn ring every time! Lol
	5:35pm StringOFperils: The Zombies knew too much about music; they'd never suffer Joe Meek, though I'm sure he'd have found them...interesting.
	5:35pm Becky Ebenkamp: Ha ha!
	5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I'm imagining a massive clash of wills between Joe and Rod!!
	5:36pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hey Babs!
	5:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Babs, my lovely!!! :-) <3
	5:37pm Paper Kosmonaut: LOL: "Meek passed up the chance to work with the then unknown David Bowie, the Beatles (the latter he once described as "just another bunch of noise, copying other people's music") and Rod Stewart. John Repsch, in The Legendary Joe Meek, recounts that upon hearing Stewart sing, Meek rushed into the studio, put his fingers in his ears and screamed until Stewart had left." (from wikipedia)
	5:37pm Becky Ebenkamp: Yeah, but the way they speak of their experiences, they had no control until O&O. At least Joe maybe would understand the emotional quality of their songs? And the melancholy quality? Never thought about it until now.
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I did a sociology course in my teens and every single time they showed a documentary about post-war Britain turning into groovy times they played "Telstar". It's like the watershed record for Britain ;-)
	5:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: The Rod Stewart story! Me too!
	5:38pm MHLee: Meek seems best suited to like mutant skiffle though
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - This from a man who was tone deaf!! Lol
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - It's certainly an intriguing what if!
	5:39pm MHLee: The warm organ of the zombies would be.... well not as warm....
	5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Mutant skiffle!! I love that! :-)
	5:39pm MHLee: Does Meek do anything with hammonds?
	5:39pm Feldpausch: I love these selections. And hi Babs!
	5:39pm Paper Kosmonaut: Coincidentally I watched a 1965 documentary about the Groningen municipal waste disposal service which had a "modern' section which was accompaniet by Telstar.
	5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Not sure ... don't think so, but I could be wrong
	5:40pm DJ Babs: Heya Feldpausch! Kosmonaut et all!
	5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Feldpausch - Thank you, lovely :-)
	5:40pm StringOFperils: Ha ha ha. I still scream when almost any Rod Stewart post-'72 comes on.
	5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - See?? It's the shorthand for "modern" :-)
	5:40pm Paper Kosmonaut: accompanied - it's late here.
	5:40pm Becky Ebenkamp: I’m ok with early Rod now. But when he had his comeback in the ‘70s and stole space from cute boys in my teen mags, I tore all his photos out (if there was no one good on the other side) and burned them.
	5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - He certainly had a sell-by date, didn't he? ;-)
	5:41pm StringOFperils: He's a grand old tart, is our Rod.
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I believe you used the Russian spelling ;-) AccompaNYET!
	5:41pm Paper Kosmonaut: Weirdly, I kinda prefer the hand-sung Joe Meek demo of Telstar.
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Rod with The Faces - fabulous. Rod without The Faces - not so much. Although ... "Atlantic Crossing" is a great album :-)
	5:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: I need this Complete Independent Productions thingy
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - He certainly gives it his all! :-)
	5:42pm Becky Ebenkamp: Actually, it may be in this house…
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - I can WeTransfer you a copy if you like? :-)
	5:42pm Paper Kosmonaut: "Complete Independent Productions thingy" - nice album title. Or shop name.
	5:42pm Becky Ebenkamp: No way, really? Please!
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Of course! <3 I shall do it after the show :-)
	5:43pm StringOFperils: Too bad Joe Meek couldn't have held on for a few more years. He could have discovered the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and others who were doing the same things, he'd have know he wasn't alone.
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm about to say a naughty word!!
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - And he would have got the money he was owed as well :-(
	5:43pm Feldpausch: I just bought a bunch of loose leaf tea for a friend who's having a rough time. It's simple and comforting
	5:43pm Becky Ebenkamp: SoP: I agree
	5:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Feldpausch - A nice cup of tea is the best cure-all <3
	5:45pm StringOFperils: Tea is always a moment of normalcy.
	5:45pm Mr Fab: SoP: he would have been furious: "The BBC is ripping me off!" After all, that's what he said about Phil Spector.
	5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - The thing I love about tea is you have to take your time, both to make it and to drink it :-)
	5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - Didn't he think the BBC had bugged his studios?
	5:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: I make my jokes about Joe, but I really feel badly for him. I mean, I feel bad for average-minded people with mental illness, but to be a genius and have to deal with all that torture… the games his mind must have played on himself.
	5:48pm Paper Kosmonaut: The meds then weren't as good as they are now...
	5:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Exactly :-( He had mental health issues plus drug use plus he lived at a time when homosexuality was illegal PLUS he was being sued for a bogus plagiarism thing. He didn't stand a chance, poor chap.
	5:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - That too :-(
	5:48pm Becky Ebenkamp: They were practically still using leeches!
	5:49pm Mr Fab: yes, he was def. paranoid. He thought that Spector was somehow reading his mind.
	5:49pm Becky Ebenkamp: And haunted by Buddy Holly…
	5:49pm MHLee: Joe was definitely a troubled lad... but I'd hesitate to claim that mental health and stress were the only issue... I mean Phil didn't have the excuses and turned out similiarly
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Britain back then was far more stiff upper lip ... You never talked about depression or anything like that. people would have "funny turns" or be "a bit touched". :-(
	5:50pm Mr Fab: This track has the Johnny Cash rhythm, oddly enough. Country/Space Age?
	5:50pm MHLee: @GG You see that in Syd Barrett too
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - Oh yes!!
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - I was just about to say that!!
	5:51pm Becky Ebenkamp: Phil had some issues. The mugging. And I think his size, feeling inferior…
	5:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Is the music business necessarily a great place for anyone with even a hint of issues, to be fair?
	5:52pm MHLee: Also if anyone ever wants to make my day... I always am looking for anything your grandmother might have owned I could work into an Indica Gallery aesthetic
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I own my nan's earrings :-)
	5:53pm Becky Ebenkamp: His meanness struck me as being related to feeling inferior. The need to lash out and be the top dog. And he was Jewish. There was prejudice in LA and many people had relatives who were in camps.
	5:53pm MHLee: @GG the music industry kills people... it's amazing people like Britney Spears and Ke$ha even hold on
	5:54pm Mr Fab: GG, what is this Soho doc? Is it available somewhere?
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My nan had this ENORMOUS over-sized brandy glass that she kept all her mementoes in. Matchbooks, serviettes, programmes, all sorts of things. I loved that. She used to let me look through it when I was a kid :-)
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - True :-(
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Goodness yes!
	5:54pm Becky Ebenkamp: MHLee: I don’t think my grandma was that cool! What is your project?
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - It's on YouTube. :-) I'll get you the link :-)
	5:55pm MHLee: @GG I've got my great grandmother's china
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - I love that :-)
	5:56pm Paper Kosmonaut: Someone's got my grandma's kidney stones she kept in a vial. Not me, though.
	5:56pm MHLee: @Becky nothing in particular... I've just been trying to gradually shift my wardrobe into only swinging London and 1920s aesthetics
	5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Now THERE'S a memento!
	5:56pm DJ Babs: What a great show! Thank you Georgy!!!
	5:56pm StringOFperils: Grandma's kidney stones are a good source of calcium.
	5:56pm Becky Ebenkamp: OMG! That sounds amazing!
	5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Ah! I'm guessing you read The Chap? :-)
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Babs - Thank you!! So happy to see you :-) <3
	5:57pm MHLee: @PK gall stones are also apparently not considered medical waste... I knew hospital pathologists that would make jewelry of it
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - Lol!!!
	5:57pm Becky Ebenkamp: Yes, I have loved this show!
	5:57pm MHLee: @GG No, I should though... just finished The Trial
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Thank you! <3
	5:57pm DJ Babs: You are one busy gal this week!
	5:57pm Paper Kosmonaut: Lovely show, GG. Thank you!
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - I think you'd love it :-)
	5:57pm Becky Ebenkamp: Could it be used as pumice?
	5:58pm StringOFperils: Thanks GG, like old times, hearing you on Monday!
	5:58pm Becky Ebenkamp: Is it porous?
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Babs - I'm going to need a lie-down by Saturday ;-)
	5:58pm DJ Babs: Take care everyone!
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you PK! <3
	5:58pm Feldpausch: Thanks, GG! Love learning about Joe Meek. Great to hear your lovely voice
	5:58pm Becky Ebenkamp: Fantastic job, DJGG!
	5:58pm Mr Fab: I have a very '70s orange and green blanket knitted by my great-grandma that adorns a very '70s orange chair in my bar area.
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I've honestly had a blast doing this :-) <3
	5:58pm Becky Ebenkamp: Let my know what I can WeTrans you back!
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you, Adam, my lovely! <3
	5:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - <3
	5:59pm Elizabeth: UGH! I got side-tracked at work- and I couldn't hear the rest of the show! Thank goodness for the archives!
	5:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - You're on! :-)
	5:59pm MHLee: Thanks, GG!
	5:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - :-) <3
	5:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you MHLee! :-) <3
	6:00pm Becky Ebenkamp: I will think on it, too. Y grandma was from Belize, which used to be a British colony. She was very loyal to the Queen. Loved her. She loathed Ronald Reagan.
	6:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That was fun! :-)
	6:00pm Mr Fab: this Soho trip was oh so groovy. Much thx!!
	6:00pm Paper Kosmonaut: 't was.
	6:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - Thank you! :-) <3 Here's that link: www.youtube.com...

	4:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: How are YOU? <3
	4:54pm Paper Kosmonaut: Had a busy day. Mainly editing but also cycling criss-cross through town to get stuff, like collecting my new camera back from repairs and a harddisk with footage.
	4:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That sounds very productive and very healthy as well :-)
	4:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It does feel very odd to be doing a show on a Monday :-) It's like revisiting an old house or something :-)
	4:57pm Paper Kosmonaut: Well when stuff gets boring, you can always revisit LHT in fill-in shows...
	4:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Ah! I did that a few backs when I filled-in for Darryl :-) that was a lot of fun :-)
	4:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Dear old LHT ;-)
	4:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: A few backs?? Lol! A few weeks back. That's better
	4:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I haven't even started and I already can't type ;-)
	4:58pm David in California: Hello DJGG and PK. Looking forward to the show.
	4:59pm Paper Kosmonaut: Moesn't Datter. I mow what you knean.
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey David!! :-)
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - ;-)
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do love Joe Meek records :-)
	5:01pm Paper Kosmonaut: Joe Meek also would be a good name for a bathroom furnishing company.
	5:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Speciality, stomping on the floor ;-)
	5:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: These songs are just so atmospheric.
	5:03pm Elizabeth: Hi Georgy! Hi everyone! I am so happy I can listen to show! I am not on the public service desk! I will able to listen to most of the show!
	5:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Elizabeth, my lovely!! So happy you're here! :-)
	5:03pm David in California: Have I the Right was the first Joe Meek produced song I was familiar with. It had a different quality than other British Invasion songs.
	5:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @David in CA - Yes!!! He really did have a sound all his own :-) He was a genius
	5:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: He could genuinely hear sounds that no one else could - can you imagine what he'd do with modern technology?
	5:05pm Becky Ebenkamp: Shoot! On the wrong playlist!
	5:05pm Mr Fab: Oops, we were on the wrong playlist. Here we are!
	5:06pm Elizabeth: Joe Meek was so unique! One of my favorites and my husband loves him also!
	5:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Becky!!! :-) How are you, my lovely?
	5:06pm StringOFperils: Hello, just popping over from the wrong playlist
	5:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Mr Fab!! I knew the siren call of Joe Meek would get you here ;-)
	5:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello SOp!!! :-)
	5:06pm MHLee: Hi blessed friends
	5:06pm Becky Ebenkamp: I love Joe’s productions! Not so much his extracurricular activities (involving mom)
	5:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - I really must get to the Holloway Road! I promised you all photos before You Know What happened.
	5:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: MHLee!! Hello, lovely :-)
	5:07pm The Knave: Hey from Melbourne, Australia (and the Drummer Stream) … about time I visited the Jungle Rooms!
	5:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - he was an odd duck, as most geniuses seem to be! Lol
	5:07pm Becky Ebenkamp: Crazy weekend in Palm Springs but I survived
	5:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The Knave! Hello and welcome to the Jungle! :-)
	5:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Oh my!! Did you have a good crazy time? :-) Fabulous show yesterday by the way!! <3
	5:09pm Becky Ebenkamp: Thank you. I made the most of it. Is anyone good at Tik Tok?
	5:09pm The Knave: Glad to be here.. the Jungle is just my kinda wild. Making early Tuesday morning here off to a good start..
	5:09pm Elizabeth: I just found the Look at Life British soho coffee house short you are talking about on youtube!
	5:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - I haven't a clue abput Tik Tok ...I feel like such an old fart ;-)
	5:10pm Becky Ebenkamp: I want to see that!
	5:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @The Knave - We're an eclectic bunch, I'll say that :-)
	5:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - It's so much fun, isn't it? You see what I mean about the narrator ;-)
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - I'll send you the link :-)
	5:11pm Becky Ebenkamp: Me, neither. I kind of got robbed. It was out of my own stupidity. But it turns out I captured the thief on my camera! So it’s funny! I want to post it.
	5:11pm Becky Ebenkamp: Real life Blow Up!
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: We're barely ten minutes in and I'm daydreaming about coffee at Bar Italia in Frith Street :-)
	5:11pm MHLee: Meek often gets a spaghetti western... but like sung in space sound
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - You got robbed!! Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that <3
	5:12pm Becky Ebenkamp: Here we go…
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Brilliant description!!! :-)
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "Half an ahhhh" ;-)
	5:13pm Paper Kosmonaut: Is it strange I still prefer a plain home-brewed pot of strong black filter coffee?
	5:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Nowt wrong with that :-) I'm happily chugging a pour over as we speak :-)
	5:13pm Becky Ebenkamp: I just to,d Domenic you were doing Joe Meek and he’s running in. He has a lot of Joe stories, I think.
	5:13pm MHLee: @Becky I'm probably the youngest hear but I have almost no connection to anything going on the world and that includes tiktok
	5:13pm Mr Fab: Welcome The Knave to the Animal House of WFMU!
	5:14pm Elizabeth: One of my regrets is not going to Bar Italia- when I was in London 7 years ago- I was right across the street, but I didn't have time!
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Ooo!!! I'm waving at him! :-)
	5:14pm Becky Ebenkamp: Are those Buddy Holly Chipmunk angels singing backup?
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - ;-)
	5:14pm StringOFperils: Sheena's. Where blue men drink their coffee black
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - next time you're here I'll treat you to a coffee :-)
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Lol!!
	5:14pm Paper Kosmonaut: too late for me, GG. I cannot sleep when I have coffee that late at night.
	5:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - Exactly! :-)
	5:15pm Becky Ebenkamp: I should just hang out at schoolyards…
	5:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Oh it's decaf! :-)
	5:15pm Paper Kosmonaut: Buddy Holly Chipmunk Angels. Great band name.
	5:15pm The Knave: Hey Mr Fab! Great to be here visiting from the WFMU Drummer circle..
	5:15pm Becky Ebenkamp: Don’t forget Buddy!
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "Please welcome to the stage ..... The Buddy Holly Chipmunk Angels!!"
	5:16pm Mr Fab: NOT The Blue Men Group. In case you go to their show expecting such space-age exotica.
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - The sheer volume of artists who wouldn't be here were it not for Buddy <3
	5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - Where's Joe??? Why are you doing that weird miming thing?? Who is this? ;-)
	5:17pm Becky Ebenkamp: But how many received PERSONAL GUIDANCE after the plane crash?
	5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Exactly! ;-)
	5:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The Outlaws featuring none other than Chas Hodges and Richie Blackmore :-)
	5:18pm Becky Ebenkamp: The Thunderbirds owe a lot to Joe
	5:18pm Becky Ebenkamp: Did Sutch work with him?
	5:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Oh goodness yes!!!
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - He did indeed. I almost played a Sutch track today as it happens :-)
	5:19pm MHLee: I actually got a lot of Meek tracks on a Blackmore compilation.
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The concept of Joe Meek and Screaming Lord Sutch in the same room is insane tho ;-)
	5:19pm MHLee: Because Heinz and the boys
	5:19pm Becky Ebenkamp: RB reminded me, of course ; )
	5:19pm Becky Ebenkamp: Dave is my fave.
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Of course!! There's such a rich family tree here :-)
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - :-)
	5:20pm Elizabeth: @ Georgy! That would be awesome!
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - <3
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's those Chipmunks again ;-)
	5:21pm Becky Ebenkamp: More than anyone, to me, Joe Meek has a production “style.” Some people may say Phil Spector. I can always recognize Joe.
	5:21pm Becky Ebenkamp: The Chipmunks help…
	5:21pm Paper Kosmonaut: One got away and played that laughing gnome for David Bowie.
	5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - <3 to that comment!! He had his own universe, absolutely.
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - The renegade gnome!!! Also a fine prog band ;-)
	5:22pm Paper Kosmonaut: He probably lived in his own universe as well.
	5:22pm Mr Fab: Totally, Becky. has anyone even tried to produce in a Joe Meek style, even as a homage? Dont think it can be done.
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I mean ... yeah. Poor old bastard.
	5:22pm Becky Ebenkamp: And it is a sound/style I love. I didn’t know about him until I was grown up, so had to trace it back.
	5:23pm MHLee: Has anyone done a seance for Joe Meek? If not that should be us.
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - You'd need a completely different brain I think!
	5:23pm Becky Ebenkamp: Is it the room? What tricks is he using?!
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - He manages to sound both out of this world and very British simultaneously
	5:23pm Feldpausch: I was in the wrong place. Mr Fab, thanks for leaving the notes
	5:23pm Becky Ebenkamp: It sounds like outer space!
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Woah! That would be wild
	5:24pm Feldpausch: HI GEORGY!
	5:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: I was, too, Feldpausch!
	5:24pm MHLee: Meek was very into ghosts...
	5:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - he started off at EMI as an engineer, but he used to take radios apart as a child. :-)
	5:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: Have a Meek Xmas!
	5:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Adam!! Hello, lovely!! :-)
	5:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Oh all sorts! Ghosts, aliens ... you name it! :-)
	5:25pm Paper Kosmonaut: I also was in the wrong playlist a lot earlier tonight.
	5:25pm Elizabeth: I never know Meek had a Christmas song!
	5:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is from Wiki about the "I Hear A New World" album: "He achieved this as a sound engineer by blending the Blue Men's skiffle/rock-and-roll style with a range of sound effects created by such kitchen-sink methods as blowing bubbles in water with a straw, draining water out of a sink, shorting out an electrical circuit and banging partly filled milk bottles with spoons; however, one must listen carefully to detect these prosaic origins in the finished product. Another feature of the recordings is the early use of stereophonic sound."
	5:26pm Becky Ebenkamp: Sutch would do that song justice
	5:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I believe Joe was one of the first to get artists to record in different parts of the flat for echoes and suchlike.
	5:27pm Becky Ebenkamp: I definitely think water was involved
	5:27pm MHLee: Right, that's the thing about Meek. Telstar's opening is a toilet flushing... he was like a DIY producer that somehow was producing tonnes of music for tonnes of bands... some which were hits even
	5:27pm Becky Ebenkamp: What if these methods amped up the crazy somehow?
	5:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - he famously stomped on the upstairs bathroom floor to get the big booming percussion effects on "Have I The Right" :-)
	5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Yes!!! I think everything was a potential sound to him :-)
	5:28pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, man. It’s not all Honey?
	5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - I think the crazy was already there ...
	5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Possibly bi-polar ... He did a LOT of drugs as well.
	5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - It's probably 40% Honey and 60% Joe stomping on the floor :-)
	5:29pm Becky Ebenkamp: I imagine him breaking the floorboards and falling into the kitchen. And then yelling at mom because SHE ruined the dinner.
	5:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Lol!
	5:31pm Becky Ebenkamp: Yes, I think so, too. A bit of nurture and nature
	5:31pm Aitch: On the wrong list, thanks Mr Fab. Hey Georgy and gang
	5:31pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi, Aitch!
	5:31pm MHLee: This song is so American that in the soft English accent is odd
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mitch Mitchell played for him once and once only, and was so terrified that he pissed himself and never went back! He also turned down The Beatles AND Tom Jones ;-)
	5:32pm WR: Where did that ring come from?
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Aitch!! :-)
	5:32pm Becky Ebenkamp: This versh is so much better
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - ;-)
	5:32pm Becky Ebenkamp: Imagine Colin singing it, tho
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi WR! :-)
	5:32pm Elizabeth: I watched a movie a few weeks ago called "The Small World of Sammy Lee"- great shots of Soho in 1963- I saw the 2ii's coffee bar!
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's very clean cut British pop chap ;-)
	5:33pm Aitch: Warn Laura perhaps?
	5:33pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello!
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - OH MY GOODNESS!! Yes :-)
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - The 2Is!! :-)
	5:33pm Becky Ebenkamp: Can you imaging if Joe worked with the Zombies? Would that have been a good match?
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Aitch - Send Laura a Post-It note ;-)
	5:33pm Becky Ebenkamp: Assuming no sharp objects?
	5:33pm MHLee: people who graduated from high school sometimes pay hundreds of dollars in rings that say so... used to be a bigger thing
	5:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - He would tried to make them sound like his other bands, I think. Or terrified them!
	5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - I've seen so many YouTube videos of late of chaps doing these elaborate proposals on cliffs and mountains ... and of, course they lose the damn ring every time! Lol
	5:35pm StringOFperils: The Zombies knew too much about music; they'd never suffer Joe Meek, though I'm sure he'd have found them...interesting.
	5:35pm Becky Ebenkamp: Ha ha!
	5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I'm imagining a massive clash of wills between Joe and Rod!!
	5:36pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hey Babs!
	5:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Babs, my lovely!!! :-) <3
	5:37pm Paper Kosmonaut: LOL: "Meek passed up the chance to work with the then unknown David Bowie, the Beatles (the latter he once described as "just another bunch of noise, copying other people's music") and Rod Stewart. John Repsch, in The Legendary Joe Meek, recounts that upon hearing Stewart sing, Meek rushed into the studio, put his fingers in his ears and screamed until Stewart had left." (from wikipedia)
	5:37pm Becky Ebenkamp: Yeah, but the way they speak of their experiences, they had no control until O&O. At least Joe maybe would understand the emotional quality of their songs? And the melancholy quality? Never thought about it until now.
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I did a sociology course in my teens and every single time they showed a documentary about post-war Britain turning into groovy times they played "Telstar". It's like the watershed record for Britain ;-)
	5:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: The Rod Stewart story! Me too!
	5:38pm MHLee: Meek seems best suited to like mutant skiffle though
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - This from a man who was tone deaf!! Lol
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - It's certainly an intriguing what if!
	5:39pm MHLee: The warm organ of the zombies would be.... well not as warm....
	5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Mutant skiffle!! I love that! :-)
	5:39pm MHLee: Does Meek do anything with hammonds?
	5:39pm Feldpausch: I love these selections. And hi Babs!
	5:39pm Paper Kosmonaut: Coincidentally I watched a 1965 documentary about the Groningen municipal waste disposal service which had a "modern' section which was accompaniet by Telstar.
	5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Not sure ... don't think so, but I could be wrong
	5:40pm DJ Babs: Heya Feldpausch! Kosmonaut et all!
	5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Feldpausch - Thank you, lovely :-)
	5:40pm StringOFperils: Ha ha ha. I still scream when almost any Rod Stewart post-'72 comes on.
	5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - See?? It's the shorthand for "modern" :-)
	5:40pm Paper Kosmonaut: accompanied - it's late here.
	5:40pm Becky Ebenkamp: I’m ok with early Rod now. But when he had his comeback in the ‘70s and stole space from cute boys in my teen mags, I tore all his photos out (if there was no one good on the other side) and burned them.
	5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - He certainly had a sell-by date, didn't he? ;-)
	5:41pm StringOFperils: He's a grand old tart, is our Rod.
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I believe you used the Russian spelling ;-) AccompaNYET!
	5:41pm Paper Kosmonaut: Weirdly, I kinda prefer the hand-sung Joe Meek demo of Telstar.
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Rod with The Faces - fabulous. Rod without The Faces - not so much. Although ... "Atlantic Crossing" is a great album :-)
	5:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: I need this Complete Independent Productions thingy
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - He certainly gives it his all! :-)
	5:42pm Becky Ebenkamp: Actually, it may be in this house…
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - I can WeTransfer you a copy if you like? :-)
	5:42pm Paper Kosmonaut: "Complete Independent Productions thingy" - nice album title. Or shop name.
	5:42pm Becky Ebenkamp: No way, really? Please!
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Of course! <3 I shall do it after the show :-)
	5:43pm StringOFperils: Too bad Joe Meek couldn't have held on for a few more years. He could have discovered the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and others who were doing the same things, he'd have know he wasn't alone.
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm about to say a naughty word!!
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - And he would have got the money he was owed as well :-(
	5:43pm Feldpausch: I just bought a bunch of loose leaf tea for a friend who's having a rough time. It's simple and comforting
	5:43pm Becky Ebenkamp: SoP: I agree
	5:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Feldpausch - A nice cup of tea is the best cure-all <3
	5:45pm StringOFperils: Tea is always a moment of normalcy.
	5:45pm Mr Fab: SoP: he would have been furious: "The BBC is ripping me off!" After all, that's what he said about Phil Spector.
	5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - The thing I love about tea is you have to take your time, both to make it and to drink it :-)
	5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - Didn't he think the BBC had bugged his studios?
	5:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: I make my jokes about Joe, but I really feel badly for him. I mean, I feel bad for average-minded people with mental illness, but to be a genius and have to deal with all that torture… the games his mind must have played on himself.
	5:48pm Paper Kosmonaut: The meds then weren't as good as they are now...
	5:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - Exactly :-( He had mental health issues plus drug use plus he lived at a time when homosexuality was illegal PLUS he was being sued for a bogus plagiarism thing. He didn't stand a chance, poor chap.
	5:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - That too :-(
	5:48pm Becky Ebenkamp: They were practically still using leeches!
	5:49pm Mr Fab: yes, he was def. paranoid. He thought that Spector was somehow reading his mind.
	5:49pm Becky Ebenkamp: And haunted by Buddy Holly…
	5:49pm MHLee: Joe was definitely a troubled lad... but I'd hesitate to claim that mental health and stress were the only issue... I mean Phil didn't have the excuses and turned out similiarly
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Britain back then was far more stiff upper lip ... You never talked about depression or anything like that. people would have "funny turns" or be "a bit touched". :-(
	5:50pm Mr Fab: This track has the Johnny Cash rhythm, oddly enough. Country/Space Age?
	5:50pm MHLee: @GG You see that in Syd Barrett too
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - Oh yes!!
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - I was just about to say that!!
	5:51pm Becky Ebenkamp: Phil had some issues. The mugging. And I think his size, feeling inferior…
	5:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Is the music business necessarily a great place for anyone with even a hint of issues, to be fair?
	5:52pm MHLee: Also if anyone ever wants to make my day... I always am looking for anything your grandmother might have owned I could work into an Indica Gallery aesthetic
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I own my nan's earrings :-)
	5:53pm Becky Ebenkamp: His meanness struck me as being related to feeling inferior. The need to lash out and be the top dog. And he was Jewish. There was prejudice in LA and many people had relatives who were in camps.
	5:53pm MHLee: @GG the music industry kills people... it's amazing people like Britney Spears and Ke$ha even hold on
	5:54pm Mr Fab: GG, what is this Soho doc? Is it available somewhere?
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My nan had this ENORMOUS over-sized brandy glass that she kept all her mementoes in. Matchbooks, serviettes, programmes, all sorts of things. I loved that. She used to let me look through it when I was a kid :-)
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Becky - True :-(
