	9:14pm Carmichael: As long as you play rap, death metal and Joe Bataan you’re ok with me.
	9:18pm Jack Mello: " tractor two" = "a track or two". :)
	9:19pm mariano: I'd like a tractor too.
	9:20pm Wenzo Toad: free blankets?
	9:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wull ...there's two strategies - right ?! ...Either emulate the regular FMU-J's style - exceeding or @ least meeting a celebrated specialist @ their own game ...or - utterly dazzle us with something completely different & thrilling to a most discerning conglomerate of distinctive listeners - w/ something new & unexpected on an entire station of truly extraordinary & unremittingly exceptional Musics & Culture... Either way - no pressure !...
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: and Neil Diamond, and some hardcore punk, and . . . do you have any tractor music?
	9:21pm coelacanth∅: Hi Jack and all
	9:23pm The Butterman: Hey y’all. Sounding schweet so far Mr Mello Oh yeah Carmichael, gotta have some Diamond. Neil OR King.

	9:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...deffo down in the Pro Musics column...
	9:29pm Wenzo Toad: well somebody’s gotta be the contrarion or this is gonna get boring fast... I hate music and I just contribute to wfmu so I can have a place to rant about hating music. and flowers. and puppies. HARUMPH.
	👻 9:29pm Will the Sound Guy: Butterman... we need King Diamond 🤴💎!!!!
	9:29pm coelacanth∅: hey Scott how ya feeling?
	9:30pm luka: hey y’all
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: i only hate the best music. music that's worthy of such strong emotion.
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: hey luka
	9:33pm TonyR: Killer set so far. Thanks, JM.
	9:33pm Franco Twinkie: Howdee ho!
	9:34pm chresti: mmmmmmmmmK!
	9:34pm Scott67: G'day coel, still rough mate, but better than yesterday. Gotta try to get in the Land Rover soon though. A mate of mine's Exhibition Opening is in 30mins. It's called Queer History, as part of Pride Week in Oz. 👍😎🌈💜💛💚❤💙
	9:35pm Wenzo Toad: looking at Jack’s profile he may be a good nomination for “King of the Fill-In”... if that’s not taken...
	9:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...reckon the options in this era to hear just about anything anytime somewhere just opens the possibilities to aggravate somebody somewhere with how much I hate theirs...
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: whoa -Franco i want to be there (and hi)
	9:36pm LiXiviated Life: So this is Saturday night
	9:36pm Scott67: Nice playground Franco!👍😎
	9:36pm Franco Twinkie: "There" is my daily hang Coel. I go there to exercise.
	9:37pm coelacanth∅: Bill Mac and Kurt Gottchalk also in the running -though i don't think Bill's filled in in over a year -sadly.
	9:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 BillMac
	9:37pm coelacanth∅: can we climb on the octopus?
	9:37pm chresti: I checked Jack's credentials and he's got the goods!
	9:37pm Franco Twinkie: Yup!
	9:39pm Franco Twinkie: The featured car is a Mercury?
	9:39pm chresti: Bill and Kurt Got the goods, also.
	9:39pm coelacanth∅: damnnnn. -is the dragon board a lot longer?
	9:41pm Carmichael: Ok, just walked into the house and Mrs Carmichael was watching a Kiss doc. Please cleanse my brain …
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: funny, Franco i almost picked a mercury -despite my disdain for most things ford. this is a super 88, '61
	9:41pm mariano: Hey, Franco! Where's that playground? Looks really cool.
	9:42pm coelacanth∅: oooh, sorry Carmichael. that lingers for a while.
	9:42pm Carmichael: If I had a Mercury I’d cruise it up and down the road.
	9:43pm radioronan: Happy to be at this Mello Sat. night party..Thanks for filling in, Jack!
	9:44pm Carmichael: Now you’re on it, Jack!
	9:44pm Franco Twinkie: It's about a mile from my house Mariano. I go just about every day. They have great exercise equipment staked in the dirt right across from the funny creatures.
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: < this is one of the mercuries i considered
	9:45pm chresti: Hi Lix
	9:45pm coelacanth∅: the thing about fords is that they're often so ugly they're beautiful
	9:45pm luka: hell yeah
	9:46pm DanFA: Anyone remember that System of a Down covered this?
	9:46pm chresti: luka hi
	9:47pm Franco Twinkie: The first family car I remember was a '48 Mercury. My mom bought it when my dad was stationed in Japan.
	9:47pm luka: hi chresti, coela and all
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: Dan, really... gotta hear that! i don't know them so well
	9:47pm luka: my family had a mercury zephyr. that car sucked ass.
	9:48pm luka: bitchin name, though
	9:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: They should've had a model named the Retrograde.
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: haha! ...isn't there a reference to zephyr's sucking ass in a punk song?
	9:49pm chresti: looks kind of like an Edsel
	9:49pm DanFA: @coelacanth∅: pretty good version, they give it their own punky, thrash take on it.
	9:49pm northguineahills: When my family was in Japan, we had a '78 Datsun and a '79 Toyota mini-van Late 80s in Japan).. First family car, when I was born, was a '69 Plynouth....
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: oh, no that's the cortina. i actually know a little girl named Zephyr
	9:49pm chresti: Ha Ken!
	9:50pm luka: my mom also drove a matador. another miserable vehicle.
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: haha... Ken. i just got that! duh
	9:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: It would have gimmick hubcaps that spun backwards.
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: luka, a highschool friend's mom had an amc pacer! he picked us up in it once or twice. that was embarrassing
	9:52pm luka: the curling is very compelling right now.
	9:52pm Jinx: i didn't think zephyrs were terribly ugly. matadors, however...
	9:53pm luka: lol coela
	9:54pm Franco Twinkie: My enduring memory of our Mercury is looking down at it from the observation deck at the L.A. City Hall. When my dad pointed it out, a parking lot attendant was moving it across the street. To me it looked like a pill bug, it was that small. Then I did the spatial conversion in my head just about passed out.
	9:55pm chresti: Cars went through a revolving door when I was growing up as my dad sold used cars and would bring home different models he had a hankering for. Cant remember the first one, only that we could easily stand up in it.
	9:55pm Carmichael: I saw the Sopranos prequel last night. The music and cars …
	9:56pm dave miss: Howdy Party People!
	9:56pm Franco Twinkie: Dave!
	9:56pm Lixiviated Life: @ chresti 👋🏼
	9:56pm headcleaner: Now we're rocking
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: < here's a zephyr. i thought i had a cooler one but can't find it. pretty damned ugly! but i think it might have cool tail lights?
	9:57pm dave miss: Franco, Mariano, chresti, coel!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: hey dave miss!
	9:58pm Franco Twinkie: Good one Dave! You look like you saw a poisonous spider walking up your leg.
	9:58pm dave miss: Hey Franco that Kat would totally eat that spider
	9:58pm chresti: Dave!
	9:59pm dave miss: @Coel… Are you showing off your cool old car collection?
	9:59pm HyperDose: Party hardy!
	10:00pm Franco Twinkie: Mr. Dose!
	10:00pm chresti: A rollicking sad story!
	10:00pm dave miss: @Mariano, How come you’re not a Krewe de Vieux?!
	10:01pm chresti: Party HyperD!
	10:02pm TonyR: JM is 2 for 2.
	10:03pm Carmichael: Robert!!
	10:04pm Iphone 11: Are those tight dress girls making this beat?
	10:04pm Jack Mello: ye. yes they are, iphone11
	10:05pm Carmichael: Is Power Station in on this? They were creepy.
	10:06pm mariano: dave miss: I was! photos.app.goo.gl...
	10:07pm Jinx: appreciate you sitting in, Jack. good stuff! great song here, by Skyy.
	10:10pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Jack and friends! I'm hoping all are well.
	10:13pm Jack Mello: I've been neglecting the chat, too busy digging thru singles, thanks for hangin'
	10:14pm mariano: Mr. Pumpy!
	10:16pm TonyR: Oh, feel free to Sit and Spin, JM!!
	10:17pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...I thought you used my MS Paint version of your photo for some reason. I can see you didn't, but just the same I will email it to you in case you forgot. How are ya?!
	10:17pm dave miss: Oh Shit! Awesomeness Mariano!
	10:19pm Mr. Pumpy: actually...here! imgur.com... I'll email as well. When it is small it is hard to tell the difference. Why the hell did I even do this back in the day?!
	10:20pm mariano: Lol, took 10 years right off, Mr. P!
	10:20pm coelacanth∅: dave (@959) -my cool old car dream collection
	10:21pm chresti: Jeeps
	10:22pm minkwest: Les Rita Mitsouko - french Canadian?
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: hey Mr.P!
	10:22pm dave miss: @Coel…you like-a the fins
	10:22pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, you should brush them toofs more often!
	10:23pm coelacanth∅: fins have served me well, dave
	10:23pm minkwest: I'm feeling lots of subtle of Prince vibes. Prince and subtle in the same sentence.
	10:23pm Jack Mello: @minkwest: no, France French
	10:24pm chresti: fantastique!
	10:25pm Franco Twinkie: Missy Mink!
	10:25pm chresti: Frenchy french
	10:29pm almost queems: hello jack mello,what up party time peeps!
	10:30pm tak: at some point i started dancing
	10:34pm chresti: singing along to doom-doom
	10:36pm Iphone 11: second half of show is all techno, right?
	10:36pm chresti: Yay Daniel Blumin!
	10:38pm Franco Twinkie: That descending guitar figure is sooo good!
	10:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Donovan ftw
	10:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Borrowing back from MarcBolan ?
	10:41pm chresti: almost kandy korn at the very beginning of cosmic wheels.
	10:41pm slugluv1313: Emmaline, Emma, Emmaline Only seventeen 💔💔💔
	10:42pm northguineahills: Huw have I not heard this Donovan? ??!!!
	10:43pm slugluv1313: & Cosmic Wheels is awesome! been away from the keyboard mostly, happy to be here listening with y'all 😻😻😻
	10:43pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Slugger! Can we agree that Emma was heart breakingly beautiful?
	10:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I only happened upon an old cassette of that Donovan album - which didn't stay functional long...
	10:45pm slugluv1313: Franco!!!!! oh goodness, yes -- even though when i was a kid i really did not "get" the lyrics (& yup i still have the 45)
	10:46pm slugluv1313: hiya ngh! definitely dive deep into Cosmic Wheels :)
	10:46pm Dan: love the Duffy
	10:49pm minkwest: Oh yeah, I remember Blancmange
	10:51pm chresti: In the credits the guy that mastered cosmic wheels is named George Peckham, and Porkey discogs.com/master/6643-Donovan-Cosmic-Wheels
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: Crap. i go outside for 2 minutes and miss my probable favorite hot chocolate song? - i'm never going outside again.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: Porky Peckham?
	10:56pm Franco Twinkie: Slug, just this afternoon I was having a conversation with a friend about his neighbors - a houseful of druggy kids who came to L.A. to make it in the biz. So bizarre, so predictable, so sad.
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: oh, right. a "Porky prime cut".
	10:58pm chresti: *George and Porky are listed separately with the same photo
	10:59pm chresti: haha coel
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: really?! George and his ravenous identical twin
	11:01pm slugluv1313: Sutras is pretty amazing too, imho i had tickets to see Donovan at The Open Center (i guess around the time it was released?) (and when The Open Center was still on Spring Street!) -- was going to go with a friend but last minute family emergency, and i could not go -- so i gave both tickets to him, asked him to please take a friend (i think it was sold out at this point) -- but not sure if he went -- "but I wanted to go with you!"
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: chresti yeah, "porky prime cut" is etched into the runout matrix on a lot of old records. led zeppelin, beatles... cream?
	11:02pm chresti: Ah see, coel!
	11:03pm winston legthigh: owner of a lonely ❤️
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...George in many respects was a much more functional & down to earth sort of Pig than his brother Porky - but consequently simply a lot less Entertaining...
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: i have the cosmic wheels record and i haven't listened to it in decades. never grabbed me. maybe it's my fault it's underrated.
	11:03pm Franco Twinkie: No pleasure to guilty as Uncle Michael would say.
	11:04pm winston legthigh: much better than a owner of a 💔
	11:04pm Miss G: No, just no. I turn on the radio one time, and all of a sudden my brother is blasting music in the house and I can't do my algebra homework (OK, this song is a good 7 years after that but. . .)
	11:05pm chresti: no such thing as guilty pleasures
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: how'z it compare to a blackened cinder heart?
	11:05pm Nat: Boner of a lonely fart apology accepted :-)
	11:05pm winston legthigh: is this yes or no
	11:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerknow - would tend to hold this up as the perfect example of a band having an 'MTV Period' & so being compromised. But it ain't bad as all that.
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: Yes gave me a rash the first time around, but now it sounds so right.
	11:06pm Jinx: Trevor Horn production.
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: this is Yes We Jumped On The Bandwagon
	11:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah well. You get a Rash from Overexposure...
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: Bada bing!
	11:07pm TonyR: Everything is beautiful, you guys: Jersey City, Yes, Donovan.
	11:07pm chresti: I've only recently learned this song was by Yes. I'd hear it in cock-a-cocktail bars
	11:08pm slugluv1313: @Franco -- right? it is like an endless cycle, maybe one out of 100 (or 1000!) will be successful? same here in NYC area, every kid wanting to be a "famous" artist, actor, singer, whatever (well, accept for the trust fund kids who do not have to worry about such frivolous things like actually making a living) btw, AMAZING playground! if that was near me, i would totally be going there every day too!
	11:08pm coelacanth∅: i despised it the moment i heard it. ...like much of 80s music it could be salvaged with a cheezy synthesizer-deleting device... which i'm working on
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: My heart and brains are mush, but my hip bones just want to boogie.
	11:09pm Kelly Jones: It’s 1985…. And for Christmas I got 90125
	11:09pm Jinx: Yes' merry-go-round of personnel is fascinating.
	11:10pm Miss G: Well. . .HELLO Linkmen! <G> thank you Jack Mello
	11:10pm slugluv1313: hiya chresti, coela! yes, i remember being a teenager and always looking for those etchings in LPs, 45s, etc. -- & would be all disappointed if there were none!
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: hi slugluv!
	11:12pm chresti: It's 10 after 8PM in San Gabriel, CA 66F hiya slugluv!
	11:13pm chresti: Hi Miss G!
	11:14pm Miss G: Heya chresti! This is a great show! Happy I turned it on
	11:14pm coelacanth∅: yeah columbia (company) records never have anything interesting. nor do motown, i think. ...there was an overnight wfmu showhost in the 80s that asked people to call in with interesting etchings on their records. i called, and we talked for at least 10 minutes! called back later with more, since hardly anyone was calling.
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: hüsker dü's zen arcade has something cool...i'll have to find it...
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...asked a young woman once if she wanted to come up & see my etchings. Sailed right over her...
	11:17pm ?: Classic Sisters!
	11:17pm Kelly Jones: @coel Probably Nick Hill?
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah wasn't sure I'd ever hear SofM again. But FMU...
	11:19pm Miss G: Coel, what are we doing, looking for the runout? I pulled out Zen Arcade but maybe I have the boring version (nothing there) (have been playing "The Tooth Fairy and the Princess" nonstop lately)
	11:20pm Franco Twinkie: Oh, this is just too good!
	11:20pm Kelly Jones: I be loving this show baby cakes
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: hi Kelly -no not Nick Hill. to be honest, i recorded it! but i have about 1500 cassettes and i don't know which one
	11:20pm tak: so many truths
	11:21pm coelacanth∅: Miss G i could be mistaken... and also sometimes reissues don't have the same ones
	11:21pm slugluv1313: oh no! i missed Sisters :(
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: nice! hsr!
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bawstin
	11:22pm Kelly Jones: Coel…. 1500, that’s commitment! Nick always answered the phone and loved to talk.
	11:22pm sufferwords: saw H S R at the Starwood - did they wear matching pajamas?
	11:23pm Miss G: Coel I guess there was a story where Zen Arcade was not available for a long time, so I must have gotten a reissue of a reissue (I so loved that version of To Sir With Love, thank you Mr. DJ)
	11:24pm TonyR: Bouvier...HEY!
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: Kelly did he? i don't know if i ever called him. i definitely spoke a few times with Stan, Tamar, Bethany (i know, they're later)
	11:25pm Kelly Jones: This show is da bomb
	11:25pm Sleve McDichael: NEVER apologize for playing owner of a lonely heart. I turned on the radio just as it started and it brought a huge smile to my face to hear it on WFMU. My only hope is that it also annoyed any snobs tuned in
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: did they wear matching pajamas?!
	11:27pm Miss G: Sleve McDichael you made me smile. Yesterday (?) I turned on Sheila B just when she was beginning a set of Genesis and I almost passed out from horror (but, was glad for those who enjoyed it)
	11:28pm Kelly Jones: Coel…. I’m OLD! I do miss the days pre-social media when you could call and talk to your DJ and they’d answer the phone! I used to listen to Nick Hill in the 80s when I was at Pratt. He was a big flirt. It was totally awesome.
	11:28pm Will: Killer sounds from Boston. Thanks Mr. DJ!
	11:28pm Kelly Jones: Steve…. I TOTALLY agree!
	11:28pm Miss G: I was just telling a story to a friend about our mutual friend playing me a tutorial, after I had said (shouted) "I Hate King Crimson" and he showed me that no, indeed, I didn't hate them. good memory
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: okay, this is what is etched in zen arcade, between the 4 sides... FALLING, SHIRLEY - EVERYTIME I SQUARE OFF AGAINST SOMEONE'S GOD... I SPEND THE REST OF THE NIGHT (OR DAY) HALLUCINATING... AND NOW IT IS THE VISIONS OF A JOYOUS HELL... ...WITHIN THE CIRCUITS THAT MAKE PAC-MEN DIE AND VESSELS DISINTEGRATE
	👻 11:28pm Will the Sound Guy: honestly, it's freeform... 99.9% of it goes, just the .1% the fcc doesn't like is no good.
	11:29pm tak: yes - owner(...) will never not make me think of my dad and listening to his records
	11:29pm Franco Twinkie: Steve, it starts with finger in the eye of snobs and eventually brings down the wall.
	11:29pm slugluv1313: PASTICHE!!! (from Boston?)
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: i don't think any show host should apologise for playing what they want to hear. i also am smart enough to know that not liking something doesn't make one a snob.
	11:32pm tak: I hate SoMercy and I still have fond memories associated with them. that's how it goes!
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: Kelly Jones, I'm old too! I use to call a local DJ at 3AM and prattle on about music, and one day she saw me in a restaurant and came up and kissed me!
	11:33pm luka: this set’s cookin
	11:33pm Jack Mello: hey slug and will: yeah, a set of bosstown punk
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: heh, even that abomination, kiss, brings fond memories to mind, because of my downstairs neighbor who dressed like and painted her face like them.
	11:34pm luka: those recent Radio Row sets on boston indie have been killer
	11:36pm sufferwords: I remember matching pajamas of the sweat pants variety- maybe tie-dyed - Starwood closed in ‘81
	11:36pm Miss G: Franco re: DJs, recently I found a handwritten note I got from NY DJ Meg Griffin, because I had written her to say "play more Ramones!" Those were the days
	11:37pm chresti: A lot of stuff that get's played would not be something I would normally listen to, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy it.
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: i never thought about contacting Meg Griffin, but i remember a few years before that, when my older brother had the radio on at bedtime, Alison Steele reading a letter on air saying she's a foxy lady, and that he'll (the sender) be getting an album in the mail!
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: sufferwords i'm a tad envious
	11:41pm slugluv1313: and The Poles! from Toronto? still have this 45 too and Frightwig!!! saw them open for the Butthole Surfers at Maxwell's -- one in our group described them as "like Barbie on bad acid" -- but i loved them!
	11:41pm Miss G: coelacanth∅, yes, I have practiced my Alison Steele voice a lot! And thank you for that Zen ARcade runout, so interesting, I will look up my LP on discogs tomorrow.
	11:42pm Jack Mello: that poles single is a punk classic. and I saw frightwig open for redd Kross at danceteria, the crowd hated them!
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: the clash usually had good etchings, as i recall
	11:43pm chresti: I regularly called Maki's show on KXLU to ask what was playing.
	11:44pm slugluv1313: Meg Griffin, Alison Steele -- oh yes those were the days
	11:44pm Miss G: Oh, Danceteria, how you taunted us and teased us and tormented us and tantalized us!
	👻 11:44pm Will the Sound Guy: I'm falling asleep 😴 💤 Thank you Jack for the fill in show, and the tunes!!! be well everyone!!!
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: 'night Will. 'night Cha
	11:45pm northguineahills: souoer knights, wioofmoo friends!
	11:45pm Miss G: I saw them! Thin White Rope!
	11:46pm TonyR: No! No! It must never end!
	11:46pm slugluv1313: good night, Will!
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: i used to call a particular wfmu show host sometimes, and i had a bit of a crush on her. then i met her whilst volunteering at a record fair - and her husband too.
	11:48pm chresti: Wow this show just blasted through 3 hours lightening fast!
	11:49pm minkwest: You can never go wrong with Donna Summer. The 12" perfect!
	11:50pm slugluv1313: I Feel Love yesssssssssssssss
	11:50pm Jinx: thanks, Jack!
	11:50pm Jack Mello: the ultimate Valentine's Day track,. happy v-day everyone. that's it for me, thx for listening and commenting, catch ya! xoxoxo
	11:51pm Miss G: OH YE! We tormented our dorm mate with this in 1978. 10th Street and Broadway. djmag.com...
	11:51pm luka: missing when we used to put the 17 min DS “macarthur park” on the juke at the bar
	11:51pm luka: people did not like it
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: Donna Summer was beyond most of her peers
	11:52pm Miss G: Is this it? OK thank you Jack Mello! Made my evening lift up.

	9:19pm mariano: I'd like a tractor too.
	9:20pm Wenzo Toad: free blankets?
	9:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wull ...there's two strategies - right ?! ...Either emulate the regular FMU-J's style - exceeding or @ least meeting a celebrated specialist @ their own game ...or - utterly dazzle us with something completely different & thrilling to a most discerning conglomerate of distinctive listeners - w/ something new & unexpected on an entire station of truly extraordinary & unremittingly exceptional Musics & Culture... Either way - no pressure !...

	9:35pm Wenzo Toad: looking at Jack’s profile he may be a good nomination for “King of the Fill-In”... if that’s not taken...
	9:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...reckon the options in this era to hear just about anything anytime somewhere just opens the possibilities to aggravate somebody somewhere with how much I hate theirs...
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: whoa -Franco i want to be there (and hi)
	9:36pm LiXiviated Life: So this is Saturday night
	9:36pm Scott67: Nice playground Franco!👍😎

	9:39pm chresti: Bill and Kurt Got the goods, also.
	9:39pm coelacanth∅: damnnnn. -is the dragon board a lot longer?
	9:41pm Carmichael: Ok, just walked into the house and Mrs Carmichael was watching a Kiss doc. Please cleanse my brain …
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: funny, Franco i almost picked a mercury -despite my disdain for most things ford. this is a super 88, '61
	9:41pm mariano: Hey, Franco! Where's that playground? Looks really cool.
	9:42pm coelacanth∅: oooh, sorry Carmichael. that lingers for a while.
	9:42pm Carmichael: If I had a Mercury I’d cruise it up and down the road.
	9:43pm radioronan: Happy to be at this Mello Sat. night party..Thanks for filling in, Jack!
	9:44pm Carmichael: Now you’re on it, Jack!
	9:44pm Franco Twinkie: It's about a mile from my house Mariano. I go just about every day. They have great exercise equipment staked in the dirt right across from the funny creatures.
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: < this is one of the mercuries i considered
	9:45pm chresti: Hi Lix
	9:45pm coelacanth∅: the thing about fords is that they're often so ugly they're beautiful
	9:45pm luka: hell yeah
	9:46pm DanFA: Anyone remember that System of a Down covered this?
	9:46pm chresti: luka hi
	9:47pm Franco Twinkie: The first family car I remember was a '48 Mercury. My mom bought it when my dad was stationed in Japan.
	9:47pm luka: hi chresti, coela and all
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: Dan, really... gotta hear that! i don't know them so well
	9:47pm luka: my family had a mercury zephyr. that car sucked ass.
	9:48pm luka: bitchin name, though
	9:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: They should've had a model named the Retrograde.
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: haha! ...isn't there a reference to zephyr's sucking ass in a punk song?
	9:49pm chresti: looks kind of like an Edsel
	9:49pm DanFA: @coelacanth∅: pretty good version, they give it their own punky, thrash take on it.
	9:49pm northguineahills: When my family was in Japan, we had a '78 Datsun and a '79 Toyota mini-van Late 80s in Japan).. First family car, when I was born, was a '69 Plynouth....
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: oh, no that's the cortina. i actually know a little girl named Zephyr
	9:49pm chresti: Ha Ken!
	9:50pm luka: my mom also drove a matador. another miserable vehicle.
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: haha... Ken. i just got that! duh
	9:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: It would have gimmick hubcaps that spun backwards.
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: luka, a highschool friend's mom had an amc pacer! he picked us up in it once or twice. that was embarrassing
	9:52pm luka: the curling is very compelling right now.
	9:52pm Jinx: i didn't think zephyrs were terribly ugly. matadors, however...
	9:53pm luka: lol coela
	9:54pm Franco Twinkie: My enduring memory of our Mercury is looking down at it from the observation deck at the L.A. City Hall. When my dad pointed it out, a parking lot attendant was moving it across the street. To me it looked like a pill bug, it was that small. Then I did the spatial conversion in my head just about passed out.
	9:55pm chresti: Cars went through a revolving door when I was growing up as my dad sold used cars and would bring home different models he had a hankering for. Cant remember the first one, only that we could easily stand up in it.
	9:55pm Carmichael: I saw the Sopranos prequel last night. The music and cars …
	9:56pm dave miss: Howdy Party People!
	9:56pm Franco Twinkie: Dave!
	9:56pm Lixiviated Life: @ chresti 👋🏼
	9:56pm headcleaner: Now we're rocking
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: < here's a zephyr. i thought i had a cooler one but can't find it. pretty damned ugly! but i think it might have cool tail lights?
	9:57pm dave miss: Franco, Mariano, chresti, coel!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: hey dave miss!
	9:58pm Franco Twinkie: Good one Dave! You look like you saw a poisonous spider walking up your leg.

	10:14pm mariano: Mr. Pumpy!
	10:16pm TonyR: Oh, feel free to Sit and Spin, JM!!
	10:17pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...I thought you used my MS Paint version of your photo for some reason. I can see you didn't, but just the same I will email it to you in case you forgot. How are ya?!
	10:17pm dave miss: Oh Shit! Awesomeness Mariano!
	10:19pm Mr. Pumpy: actually...here! imgur.com... I'll email as well. When it is small it is hard to tell the difference. Why the hell did I even do this back in the day?!
	10:20pm mariano: Lol, took 10 years right off, Mr. P!
	10:20pm coelacanth∅: dave (@959) -my cool old car dream collection
	10:21pm chresti: Jeeps

	10:36pm chresti: Yay Daniel Blumin!
	10:38pm Franco Twinkie: That descending guitar figure is sooo good!
	10:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Donovan ftw
	10:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Borrowing back from MarcBolan ?
	10:41pm chresti: almost kandy korn at the very beginning of cosmic wheels.
	10:41pm slugluv1313: Emmaline, Emma, Emmaline Only seventeen 💔💔💔
	10:42pm northguineahills: Huw have I not heard this Donovan? ??!!!
	10:43pm slugluv1313: & Cosmic Wheels is awesome! been away from the keyboard mostly, happy to be here listening with y'all 😻😻😻
	10:43pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Slugger! Can we agree that Emma was heart breakingly beautiful?
	10:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I only happened upon an old cassette of that Donovan album - which didn't stay functional long...
	10:45pm slugluv1313: Franco!!!!! oh goodness, yes -- even though when i was a kid i really did not "get" the lyrics (& yup i still have the 45)
	10:46pm slugluv1313: hiya ngh! definitely dive deep into Cosmic Wheels :)
	10:46pm Dan: love the Duffy
	10:49pm minkwest: Oh yeah, I remember Blancmange
	10:51pm chresti: In the credits the guy that mastered cosmic wheels is named George Peckham, and Porkey discogs.com/master/6643-Donovan-Cosmic-Wheels
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: Crap. i go outside for 2 minutes and miss my probable favorite hot chocolate song? - i'm never going outside again.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: Porky Peckham?
	10:56pm Franco Twinkie: Slug, just this afternoon I was having a conversation with a friend about his neighbors - a houseful of druggy kids who came to L.A. to make it in the biz. So bizarre, so predictable, so sad.
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: oh, right. a "Porky prime cut".
	10:58pm chresti: *George and Porky are listed separately with the same photo
	10:59pm chresti: haha coel
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: really?! George and his ravenous identical twin
	11:01pm slugluv1313: Sutras is pretty amazing too, imho i had tickets to see Donovan at The Open Center (i guess around the time it was released?) (and when The Open Center was still on Spring Street!) -- was going to go with a friend but last minute family emergency, and i could not go -- so i gave both tickets to him, asked him to please take a friend (i think it was sold out at this point) -- but not sure if he went -- "but I wanted to go with you!"
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: chresti yeah, "porky prime cut" is etched into the runout matrix on a lot of old records. led zeppelin, beatles... cream?
	11:02pm chresti: Ah see, coel!
	11:03pm winston legthigh: owner of a lonely ❤️
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...George in many respects was a much more functional & down to earth sort of Pig than his brother Porky - but consequently simply a lot less Entertaining...
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: i have the cosmic wheels record and i haven't listened to it in decades. never grabbed me. maybe it's my fault it's underrated.
	11:03pm Franco Twinkie: No pleasure to guilty as Uncle Michael would say.
	11:04pm winston legthigh: much better than a owner of a 💔
	11:04pm Miss G: No, just no. I turn on the radio one time, and all of a sudden my brother is blasting music in the house and I can't do my algebra homework (OK, this song is a good 7 years after that but. . .)
	11:05pm chresti: no such thing as guilty pleasures
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: how'z it compare to a blackened cinder heart?
	11:05pm Nat: Boner of a lonely fart apology accepted :-)
	11:05pm winston legthigh: is this yes or no
	11:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerknow - would tend to hold this up as the perfect example of a band having an 'MTV Period' & so being compromised. But it ain't bad as all that.
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: Yes gave me a rash the first time around, but now it sounds so right.
	11:06pm Jinx: Trevor Horn production.
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: this is Yes We Jumped On The Bandwagon
	11:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah well. You get a Rash from Overexposure...
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: Bada bing!
	11:07pm TonyR: Everything is beautiful, you guys: Jersey City, Yes, Donovan.
	11:07pm chresti: I've only recently learned this song was by Yes. I'd hear it in cock-a-cocktail bars
	11:08pm slugluv1313: @Franco -- right? it is like an endless cycle, maybe one out of 100 (or 1000!) will be successful? same here in NYC area, every kid wanting to be a "famous" artist, actor, singer, whatever (well, accept for the trust fund kids who do not have to worry about such frivolous things like actually making a living) btw, AMAZING playground! if that was near me, i would totally be going there every day too!
	11:08pm coelacanth∅: i despised it the moment i heard it. ...like much of 80s music it could be salvaged with a cheezy synthesizer-deleting device... which i'm working on
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: My heart and brains are mush, but my hip bones just want to boogie.
	11:09pm Kelly Jones: It’s 1985…. And for Christmas I got 90125
	11:09pm Jinx: Yes' merry-go-round of personnel is fascinating.
	11:10pm Miss G: Well. . .HELLO Linkmen! <G> thank you Jack Mello
	11:10pm slugluv1313: hiya chresti, coela! yes, i remember being a teenager and always looking for those etchings in LPs, 45s, etc. -- & would be all disappointed if there were none!
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: hi slugluv!
	11:12pm chresti: It's 10 after 8PM in San Gabriel, CA 66F hiya slugluv!
	11:13pm chresti: Hi Miss G!
	11:14pm Miss G: Heya chresti! This is a great show! Happy I turned it on
	11:14pm coelacanth∅: yeah columbia (company) records never have anything interesting. nor do motown, i think. ...there was an overnight wfmu showhost in the 80s that asked people to call in with interesting etchings on their records. i called, and we talked for at least 10 minutes! called back later with more, since hardly anyone was calling.
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: hüsker dü's zen arcade has something cool...i'll have to find it...
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...asked a young woman once if she wanted to come up & see my etchings. Sailed right over her...
	11:17pm ?: Classic Sisters!
	11:17pm Kelly Jones: @coel Probably Nick Hill?
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah wasn't sure I'd ever hear SofM again. But FMU...
	11:19pm Miss G: Coel, what are we doing, looking for the runout? I pulled out Zen Arcade but maybe I have the boring version (nothing there) (have been playing "The Tooth Fairy and the Princess" nonstop lately)
	11:20pm Franco Twinkie: Oh, this is just too good!
	11:20pm Kelly Jones: I be loving this show baby cakes
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: hi Kelly -no not Nick Hill. to be honest, i recorded it! but i have about 1500 cassettes and i don't know which one
	11:20pm tak: so many truths
	11:21pm coelacanth∅: Miss G i could be mistaken... and also sometimes reissues don't have the same ones
	11:21pm slugluv1313: oh no! i missed Sisters :(
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: nice! hsr!
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bawstin
	11:22pm Kelly Jones: Coel…. 1500, that’s commitment! Nick always answered the phone and loved to talk.
	11:22pm sufferwords: saw H S R at the Starwood - did they wear matching pajamas?
	11:23pm Miss G: Coel I guess there was a story where Zen Arcade was not available for a long time, so I must have gotten a reissue of a reissue (I so loved that version of To Sir With Love, thank you Mr. DJ)
	11:24pm TonyR: Bouvier...HEY!
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: Kelly did he? i don't know if i ever called him. i definitely spoke a few times with Stan, Tamar, Bethany (i know, they're later)
	11:25pm Kelly Jones: This show is da bomb
	11:25pm Sleve McDichael: NEVER apologize for playing owner of a lonely heart. I turned on the radio just as it started and it brought a huge smile to my face to hear it on WFMU. My only hope is that it also annoyed any snobs tuned in
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: did they wear matching pajamas?!
	11:27pm Miss G: Sleve McDichael you made me smile. Yesterday (?) I turned on Sheila B just when she was beginning a set of Genesis and I almost passed out from horror (but, was glad for those who enjoyed it)
	11:28pm Kelly Jones: Coel…. I’m OLD! I do miss the days pre-social media when you could call and talk to your DJ and they’d answer the phone! I used to listen to Nick Hill in the 80s when I was at Pratt. He was a big flirt. It was totally awesome.
	11:28pm Will: Killer sounds from Boston. Thanks Mr. DJ!
	11:28pm Kelly Jones: Steve…. I TOTALLY agree!
	11:28pm Miss G: I was just telling a story to a friend about our mutual friend playing me a tutorial, after I had said (shouted) "I Hate King Crimson" and he showed me that no, indeed, I didn't hate them. good memory
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: okay, this is what is etched in zen arcade, between the 4 sides... FALLING, SHIRLEY - EVERYTIME I SQUARE OFF AGAINST SOMEONE'S GOD... I SPEND THE REST OF THE NIGHT (OR DAY) HALLUCINATING... AND NOW IT IS THE VISIONS OF A JOYOUS HELL... ...WITHIN THE CIRCUITS THAT MAKE PAC-MEN DIE AND VESSELS DISINTEGRATE
	👻 11:28pm Will the Sound Guy: honestly, it's freeform... 99.9% of it goes, just the .1% the fcc doesn't like is no good.
	11:29pm tak: yes - owner(...) will never not make me think of my dad and listening to his records
	11:29pm Franco Twinkie: Steve, it starts with finger in the eye of snobs and eventually brings down the wall.
	11:29pm slugluv1313: PASTICHE!!! (from Boston?)
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: i don't think any show host should apologise for playing what they want to hear. i also am smart enough to know that not liking something doesn't make one a snob.
	11:32pm tak: I hate SoMercy and I still have fond memories associated with them. that's how it goes!
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: Kelly Jones, I'm old too! I use to call a local DJ at 3AM and prattle on about music, and one day she saw me in a restaurant and came up and kissed me!
	11:33pm luka: this set’s cookin
	11:33pm Jack Mello: hey slug and will: yeah, a set of bosstown punk
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: heh, even that abomination, kiss, brings fond memories to mind, because of my downstairs neighbor who dressed like and painted her face like them.
	11:34pm luka: those recent Radio Row sets on boston indie have been killer
	11:36pm sufferwords: I remember matching pajamas of the sweat pants variety- maybe tie-dyed - Starwood closed in ‘81
	11:36pm Miss G: Franco re: DJs, recently I found a handwritten note I got from NY DJ Meg Griffin, because I had written her to say "play more Ramones!" Those were the days
	11:37pm chresti: A lot of stuff that get's played would not be something I would normally listen to, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy it.
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: i never thought about contacting Meg Griffin, but i remember a few years before that, when my older brother had the radio on at bedtime, Alison Steele reading a letter on air saying she's a foxy lady, and that he'll (the sender) be getting an album in the mail!
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: sufferwords i'm a tad envious
	11:41pm slugluv1313: and The Poles! from Toronto? still have this 45 too and Frightwig!!! saw them open for the Butthole Surfers at Maxwell's -- one in our group described them as "like Barbie on bad acid" -- but i loved them!
	11:41pm Miss G: coelacanth∅, yes, I have practiced my Alison Steele voice a lot! And thank you for that Zen ARcade runout, so interesting, I will look up my LP on discogs tomorrow.
	11:42pm Jack Mello: that poles single is a punk classic. and I saw frightwig open for redd Kross at danceteria, the crowd hated them!
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: the clash usually had good etchings, as i recall
	11:43pm chresti: I regularly called Maki's show on KXLU to ask what was playing.
	11:44pm slugluv1313: Meg Griffin, Alison Steele -- oh yes those were the days
	11:44pm Miss G: Oh, Danceteria, how you taunted us and teased us and tormented us and tantalized us!
	👻 11:44pm Will the Sound Guy: I'm falling asleep 😴 💤 Thank you Jack for the fill in show, and the tunes!!! be well everyone!!!
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: 'night Will. 'night Cha
	11:45pm northguineahills: souoer knights, wioofmoo friends!
	11:45pm Miss G: I saw them! Thin White Rope!
	11:46pm TonyR: No! No! It must never end!
	11:46pm slugluv1313: good night, Will!
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: i used to call a particular wfmu show host sometimes, and i had a bit of a crush on her. then i met her whilst volunteering at a record fair - and her husband too.
	11:48pm chresti: Wow this show just blasted through 3 hours lightening fast!
	11:49pm minkwest: You can never go wrong with Donna Summer. The 12" perfect!

	11:57pm coelacanth∅: haha yeah Franco... but i never told her right out; i just told her nice things. the real kicker is that her husband was (is) also a show host that think very fondly of.
