	11:15am clarke: mawnin' hugh!
	11:16am Hughie Considine: hey clarke!
	11:16am clarke: record label to Shoes: "i don't hear a hit"
	11:16am Corey: @Handy Alas too early for a fountain show but the lighthouse/catwalk/lake are pretty as always. Good luck with that hangover!
	11:16am PatrickMC: A great American new wave hope
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Kittens are getting me right, Corey! Enjoy the lake!
	11:17am gauche knee: Good Morning & Ramadan Mubarak to those who observe! A quick etiquette guide for the curious non-muslim! www.msn.com...
	11:17am Hughie Considine: The toast of Zion (Illinois)!!
	11:18am clarke: (marlin perkins voice): the habitat of young kittens can be a world of furry hangover cure.
	11:18am P-90: Love those chorused guitars
	11:19am clarke: Tape Op is free IF you have a 'studio' (make one up).
	11:19am gauche knee: @ hughie Peanut Chews was a staple in my early aughts vegan diet. 2nd tier but #1 in my heart.
	11:19am P-90: Also love ads for really expensive microphones that I can never afford…
	11:19am GorillaSnax: Brewers Supply Group is good about throwing the occasional Pearson's Salted Nut Roll in the middle of pallets of grains for hungry brewers... High-fives to BSG for that.
	11:20am Squints: Wasn't Buddha kind of bubblegum central for a while in the late 1960s? I thought I remembered the Ohio Express being on there.
	11:20am jmd: Clark, Tape Op is free. For anyone for any reason.
	11:21am clarke: Buddha WAS and IS bubblegum central.
	11:21am rx scabin: Good morning. Here for a minute. Then off to a white wine preview.
	11:21am Squints: My favoritest Buddha record might be Wadsworth Mansion's "Sweet Mary." ChickachickachickachickaHOPafreight.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: 6/10
	11:21am StringOFperils: It's like proto-Belle and Sebastian
	11:22am Dennis: This rekkid is, ehh, quite in-SANE
	11:22am Handy Haversack: Pallets of grain! Nice, GorillaSnax. You might enjoy this (forthcoming soon!): cup.columbia.edu... Yo, Frank!
	11:22am Hughie Considine: Members of Shoes eschew the "the" -- apparently same applies to Pixies (screams Frank Black) @Gauche knee, ok, I'm willing to reassess the Chews! They were always what I got when I selected "Pot Luck" from the vending machine at the 9W Bowling Alley in Englewood Cliffs. I should have learned, but I kept pushing Pot Luck anyway, hoping for a chocolate miracle...
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buddha label on a 45 to me means 'Quick Joey Small' in my earliest years... SoP - right ?!
	11:22am Michael Shelley: tapeop.com...
	11:22am Squints: Got a good beat and you can dance to it.
	11:23am P-90: The late great Clarence
	11:23am Squints: This Sunland Brothers is real nice.
	11:23am Dennis: Saddened at the passing of Clarence’s brother Roland this week - another virtuoso
	11:24am Kotzwinkled: Steve Cropper HATES this song!
	11:24am Hughie Considine: A friend of mine writes for Tape Op -- he writes lengthy screeds on FB about things like the engineering on Fixx albums. Knows a hell of a lot about equalization.
	11:24am P-90: Hadn’t heard we lost Roland
	11:24am GorillaSnax: Nice, Handy! Yeah - people don't realize how innovative brewers have been over the ages... Example: Brewers in Scotland got into using pine needles and seaweed when the Brits heavily taxed hops. It was the inspiration for using seaweed in the tribute ale to the 52hz whale.
	11:25am clarke: did a gig backing Lonesome Sundown
	11:25am Hoboken Jack: That's cool, Clarke!
	11:25am Listener Baby: Meep!
	11:26am Hoboken Jack: Baby!!
	11:26am clarke: there he is!!
	11:26am clarke: we thought u wuz lost in the fields.
	11:27am Listener Baby: @Clarke. They did, and I’m still not done. I’m toast.
	11:28am Handy Haversack: Heck, we live in Brooklyn and are starting to find shows in Jersey City more convenient than a lot of places in NYC.
	11:28am clarke: heard dat!! u and handy on injured reserve.
	11:28am Listener Baby: Hi Jack.
	11:28am PatrickMC: You're gonna get slapped
	11:29am clarke: sucker slapped!
	11:30am Squints: Love the Bobby Fuller vibe.
	11:30am PatrickMC: Is this the Bobby fuller 4 reincarnated?
	11:31am PatrickMC: @squints jinx
	11:32am Listener Baby: Baby. Who is on drums?
	11:32am jmd: These drums are fantastic!
	11:32am Mr. Pumpy: Handy, I'm pleased that you dig White Eagle Hall. I have a couple of shows coming up there which you may want to hop on. Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Friday 4/22 & Built To Spill, Friday 5/13
	11:33am Glistener MW: Incredible EC cover! Agreed, Michael, I’ll never get sick of this song
	11:33am GorillaSnax: Truth, Handy. Getting to shows in Brooklyn from Brooklyn can be a challenge.
	11:33am Mr. Pumpy: Dickerson had a great guitar tone, right there!
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don Gallucci - Produced 'FunHouse' album for TheStooges.
	11:34am Hughie Considine: Two times a legend!
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Mr. P--contemplating Spiritualized!
	11:35am Michael Shelley: I think DJ Bonebreak on drums
	11:35am Listener Baby: Ah.. I think you are correct.
	11:36am Mr. Pumpy: Handy, I'll do it. It's a Friday night and I would love to see them. I never caught Spacemen 3...and I don't want to say the same of Spiritualized. We'll talk!
	11:39am Kotzwinkled: We need a stage banter tutorial for some bands. Jeff Tweedy in particular is an MVP in that regard.
	11:39am PatrickMC: I'd like to see Marty Stuart on a package show in Buffalo
	11:40am Jason from Houston: Oh yesssssss... This is a great song.
	11:40am Hughie Considine: Gallucci was also the mastermind behind the band Touch. He was too young to tour with the Kingsmen because of his age, but eventually put together a band of his own and scored a minor hit with the Beach Boys lite of “I Could Be So Good to You” in 1967. Not long afterward, with the help of mind-expanding psychedelics, Gallucci and some fellow astral travelers set out to make a musical statement that reflected their consciousness-raising visions. Rehearsing in a castle in the Hollywood Hills, the 19-year-old Gallucci and his bandmates were sincere in proselytizing on behalf of the drug; they truly wanted their music to get people tripping. Gallucci called their work “a spiritual quest put to music.” During the recording sessions, a mythos arose around the project. People like Grace Slick and Jimi Hendrix would drop by to take in the vibes.
	11:40am Jason from Houston: Good morning, good people.
	11:41am Baja Joe: Just DL'ed my first issue of Tape Op. Very cool. Thanks for the lead. I can use this material.
	11:41am Mr. Pumpy: Everything about this Willie recording is doing it for me right now. Yeah, Willie!!!
	11:41am Handy Haversack: Born in 1933! Willie!
	11:42am common: Several readings. So good
	11:43am Mr. Pumpy: Handy...for reals! I think of my pops and his poor health and how he should have smoked more reefer. I mean in lieu of the booze.
	11:44am Kotzwinkled: Tried to explain axe throwing bars to my mom, who lives in the boonies in Kansas. "Can't you just do that in your yard?" she said.
	11:44am Baja Joe: Axes and booze. Brilliant. Did the same. It was fun.
	11:44am clarke: boris the spy der
	11:44am Handy Haversack: I mean, she's not wrong, Kotzwinkled.
	11:45am Hubig Pie: I'm also an advocate for alcohol and power tools
	11:45am Handy Haversack: My power axe is one of the best decisions I ever made.
	11:45am Pedro in Arlington: Axes and booze in a state that still won't let you pump your own gas. Ain't just the South that's different.
	11:46am P-90: For a second I thought the app said “Baby and the Party Gang “
	11:46am Kotzwinkled: Holy toledo! Blasting this for our 5 month old, Ruby, right now.
	11:46am clarke: Baby IS the party gang!!
	11:47am Listener Baby: Maybe so. But right now, Baby is a Zombie.
	11:48am Jason from Houston: Ohhhhh shoot! Drinking/reciprocating saw = noooooooo problem.
	11:48am Listener Baby: Does Herbie have a shirt on? That is the question.
	11:49am Handy Haversack: There you go, Jason! That's the spirit!
	11:49am clarke: MovieTime ya'll??? Frank?? FRANK?!?!?
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I suppose GerogeCarlin woulda proposed fencing off everyone who wanna drink & throw axes into their own territory & let 'em go @ it...
	11:51am Handy Haversack: One can also pay more than the suggested price for such a single and send a bit more scratch over to said Ukrainian Center. Bandcamp! Not quite a Chinese VC nightmare yet!
	11:51am Frank In Queens: Here, clarke. This week plus featured both versions of The Killers and Written On The Wind. What about you?
	11:52am Michael Shelley: dennisdiken.bandcamp.com
	11:53am clarke: a killer's suite - wow!! interesting week for me: i watched two flicks by Micheal Winner: The Stone Killer and Death Wish -- i was surprised that deathwish was good - ignored it as a teen.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...yes - the drums are tastefully bitchen...)
	11:54am clarke: is Written On The Wind the clarence darrow monkey trial flick?? spencer tracy? great one if so.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Inherit The Wind.
	11:55am Frank In Queens: You know, I've never seen the first Death Wish. I've only seen parts of the sequels as a pretty young kids. Revenge flicks were very popular at that time, yeah?
	11:55am Squints: That was a real nice record.
	11:55am clarke: ahhhhhh - yes that one. sorry.
	11:56am clarke: yes mid-70's was vigilante time - maybe it should return (liam neeson?).
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Written On The Wind is Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Robert Stack, and Dorothy Malone. Directed by Douglas Sirk.
	11:56am clarke: YES - a great sound DD!! ah yea - i have seen the Sirk - love those.
	11:57am Frank In Queens: Melodrama to the extreme.
	11:57am Squints: If there can be axe throwing bars, why can't there be lawn dart bars?
	11:57am clarke: dark melodrama
	11:57am Frank In Queens: Yeah, it's pretty dark.
	11:58am clarke: let's get people liquored up and then give 'em weaspons!! what could go wrong?
	11:58am Squints: There are no bad versions of Bowling Green.
	11:58am StringOFperils: And eye-popping film-making, brilliant color and settting; way over the top $$
	11:58am Frank In Queens: My elementary school was called Bowling Green.
	11:59am Squints: Is that Glen singing harmony with himself? Sweet.
	11:59am clarke: okay F, is that the one where Rock converts the old mill into a home?? i like that one.
	11:59am Hughie Considine: was going to say the same thing, @squints -- there's a great one by Neko Case & Her Boyfriends
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @clarke, no it's the one about the dysfunctional Texas oil family.
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interesting - no Everly Brothers.
	11:59am Squints: I LOVE that Neko Case cover.
	12:00pm Dennis Diken: thanks for the spin and kind shout out, Mikey!
	12:00pm clarke: i thought that was Giant, ha ha ha.
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, ha somewhat similar I guess. But this one deals with alcoholism, impotence, nymphomania, unrequited love, and depression.
	12:03pm clarke: will have to re-visit my sirk
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: Might watch this amazing Aussie biker flick called Stone tonight. It's Christina's turn to choose, but I might be able to sway her.
	12:04pm Scott from Denver: Headed to the Boulder Theatre Wednesday evening to see Marty Stuart. Taking the wife and our 15 year old daughter. Hopefully her mind will be blown open.
	12:04pm clarke: from the 70's??
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Prefer to wear MediumTall - call it Extra Medium just to be difficult...
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: Indeed
	12:05pm clarke: speaking of Austra=lia - 'ello Eddy!!! mate!!
	12:05pm Hubig Pie: When I was a child extra medium was referred to as 'husky'
	12:05pm Listener Baby: Kudos to whomever turned you on to Izaak, Baby.
	12:07pm Scott from Denver: Montgomery Wards had a designated "HUSKY DEPARTMENT".
	12:07pm Squints: So was small "rare?"
	12:07pm Michael Shelley: YEAH!
	12:07pm PatrickMC: Such a #1
	12:08pm Listener Baby: Scott. Just don’t build up Marty too much to your kid. I made that mistake. Just say he’s pretty good, and is still learning how to do his thing.
	12:08pm clarke: Baby, keep meaning to listen to the punk's show - on fridays at 9pm (central time)??
	12:08pm Scott from Denver: Ha! Well played.
	12:09pm clarke: i missed it last nite, if so. dang.
	12:09pm Listener Baby: @Clarke. She’s doing awesome. Her last show was really great.
	12:10pm clarke: what do you mean by "last" - you mean latest? or she's not doing it any more??
	12:10pm Listener Baby: 10am Fridays 1:00 pm your time.
	12:11pm Listener Baby: Latest.
	12:11pm clarke: ha ha ha - i am just an hour behind east coast - not in singapore (yet)
	12:12pm clarke: (turntable one voice): it wasn't me!!!
	12:13pm Matt Fiveash: If you hadn't told us otherwise I would have guessed this was the Rutles
	12:13pm clarke: oh - i see it is really at 2pm in northampton?? got it.
	12:14pm Listener Baby: This is amazing!
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...almost sound like Brooklynites ashamed of how well they got those harmonies arranged so they blunt them ...probly business or studio back sceners...
	12:14pm clarke: speaking of Rutles: RIP Viv Stanshell
	12:16pm Dennis: Whew…. Talk about “beat”. What’d they do - give lessons to The Surfsiders?
	12:17pm Squints: Not everything has to be everyone's thing. You can have my mushrooms. I'll take the jalapenos.
	12:17pm clarke: was fortunate enough to see Thunderbirds quite often at this little club in baton rouge, Chiefs. maybe ten times?? or so.
	12:17pm Glistener MW: “…and that coworker grew to be Nickleback.”
	12:17pm Scott from Denver: Jimmie's interview on Marc Maron was pretty good.
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Voice a lot like Stevie's - spooky.
	12:18pm Listener Baby: Double-est D! Hugs brother.
	12:18pm Handy Haversack: Hey, there might be Nickleback fans in Portugal!
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just compare how the Brothers dress...
	12:19pm Scott from Denver: I got to see the Thunderbirds at the Zoo Bar in Lincoln NE in college.
	12:19pm Andres: Good morning! Stevie Ray Vaughn was not exactly my thing either but the video for Cold Shot is a classic!
	12:20pm clarke: played the Zoo long ago - great venue!!
	12:20pm Squints: I loved those first couple of T-Birds LPs on Chrysalis.
	12:21pm Ed From Jersey City: Those Vaughn brothers are very different but each very special in their own way.
	12:21pm clarke: yes - they recorded quite well considering they were amazing live, Squints.
	12:21pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - hey hey!
	12:22pm jmd: smooth voice. nice.
	12:23pm clarke: (what i mean is those albums happened to capture the energy of their live shows)
	12:23pm andy fuchs: Either Vaughan brother is cool. Each has their own thing happening. It's the "Vaughanabee's" out there today I can do without... give it a rest and find your own groove. Hold the Mayo...
	12:23pm McGroovey: I love Mark Maron's interviews, except that he interviews so many people I'm not interested in (actors, comedians), so I don't usually listen. And yet, when I listen to one of those interviews with someone I don't care about, it always ends up being an interesting conversation--like falling into a great conversation at a bar with someone you've never met before, and wouldn't have met except sitting at that bar, and you'd never guess that the person would have been interesting.
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: Ahhh, Kirsty.
	12:24pm egould310: The closest Marty Stuart show for me is in The Dalles, OR. It’s a 4 hour drive from Seattle. But it is next Saturday. Charming little town along the Columbia River. Might just have to make that trip.
	12:25pm clarke: sounds like a winnah!
	12:26pm Hubig Pie: Happy to be hearin' this right now
	12:26pm Squints: I like SRV well enough in doses.
	12:26pm Mike Sin: Enjoying the show today! Been listening to a million versions of "C.C. Rider / See See Rider" for million years, but... only heard the original Ma Rainey version within the past 10.
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: andy fuchs: have you seen Marty Stuart in person ?
	12:28pm Scott from Denver: There is a live recording of the SRV and Double Trouble show at the Omaha Music Hall and the crowd was just roaring the whole time. Gave me goose-bumps. I think it was on YuoTube. Its just the audio but man, what a show.
	12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Caroline is a 10. SRV didn't innovate anything new into UrbanBlues - but he did revive it @ the unlikeliest time. I just saw him as the tough bulllet-chewing Texas Gittarist who'd (say) play til his calluses came off. It was just such a buzz to go see him simply Wail.
	12:30pm PatrickMC: Oh man, smooth bourbon on a Saturday
	12:30pm Scott from Denver: www.youtube.com...
	12:31pm Mr C: Charlie!
	12:31pm Hubig Pie: The Silver Fox !
	12:31pm andy fuchs: I have not seen MS in person, but do hope-to. I did see Cousin Kenny Vaughan at a NAMM show gathering and he's an amazing performer and player in his own right. Is he local anytime soon ?
	12:32pm Edward: What album is this great Charlie Rich track from?
	12:32pm Michael Shelley: I'll let you know next swing through
	12:32pm clarke: @Scott in Denver: you seem to have caught a lot of shows in the (mid)west -- on same tour as Zoo Bar, we opened for Gun Club in Norman OK - wanna say at a club called _____ Tombs? remember that venue??
	12:33pm egould310: Some Redd Kross would be nice.
	12:33pm clarke: that Charlie Rich song probably came out during the pre-album era but is collected on several hits things.
	12:36pm Hoboken Jack: Coolies schmoolies, we want Juniper!
	12:37pm Baby: If I am not mistaken, Juniper also a part of the Go Go’s tribute.
	12:37pm clarke: or the REAL Coolies from atlanta!
	12:37pm Moammar: In re Vaughn: On YouTube you can find an album from an early incarnation of Double Trouble with the Leroi Brothers bassist and Lou Ann Barton singing. Far better than anything that came later on.
	12:38pm PatrickMC: @Edward, I have it on vinyl on Boss Man, a pretty good album www.allmusic.com...
	12:38pm clarke: would that be Casper Rawls??
	12:38pm Mr C: Charlie's version of Nice and Easy was on the Groove label lp Big Boss Man..
	12:39pm Edward: Thanks, Patrick & Mr. C.!
	12:39pm Scott from Denver: @clarke: Never made it much out of state. Poor college student status. In Omaha we had the Ranch Bowl, yes, bowling alley and music venue. Saw the Buzzcocks. First stage dive ducking under the neck of the bass players guitar. Howard Street Tavern downtown had Zoo Bar carry overs. Zoo Bar was usually affiliated with Alligator Records acts.
	12:39pm egould310: Subtle sexual overtones in this poetry.
	12:39pm StringOFperils: The male must go through
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: Michael, I'm finally reading that Little Richard biography I won on the show last Marathon and enjoying the hell out of it!
	12:40pm PatrickMC: Back to the definitive article. Buzzcocks or the Buzzcocks?
	12:41pm clarke: thnx Scott!! still trying to search my memory banks..... and the beat goes on.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whut? Garage paragons Count5 sounding like a 70s BoogieFunk RawkBand ??
	12:41pm clarke: that's Glaser - pronounced like laser!
	12:42pm Scott from Denver: The Paladins at the Zoo Bar were the TOPS! Paladins rule with those first 3 albums.
	12:42pm MD: Kirsty MacColl died in a diving accident in 2000 on Mexico…
	12:43pm clarke: yes Paladins certainly were fantastic before they made some kinda funky turn, there.
	12:43pm Michael Shelley: that's not how Marty pronounced it...
	12:44pm clarke: well - i am just going from how Tompall Glaser pronounced it, ha ha.
	12:45pm Moammar: @clarke Jackie Newhouse, I believe.
	12:45pm clarke: ah - the FIRST leroi bassist - great player, not a whole lot of personality, but nice fellow.
	12:50pm egould310: #1 hit from Bob Mould. My day just improved by 15%. Thanks Michael!
	12:51pm Squints: Is this the Bob Mould Sugar? <arte johnson voice> veddy interestink. I'm know what I'm poking into this afternoon.
	12:51pm Edward: A long-forgotten (by me anyway) classic from Bob Mould! Listen to that! Why would you NOT put it on repeat and just listen to it for hours?
	12:51pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Great show today. Stay Number One, everyone!
	12:51pm StuartR: Sugar #1. Bob Mould now on tour? Enjoyed the tunes as always today.
	12:52pm clarke: a(nother) Sugar earworm for ya's: Where Diamonds Are Halos (sung by dave barbe)
	12:52pm MplsCoco: Sugar! ❤️
	12:53pm clarke: A to B. terrible deal.
	12:54pm Squints: Is Rockin' Horse covering Sedaka, or merely mining that vein? This is real, real good.
	12:55pm Andres: Copper Blue was definitely an on repeat album! And loud!
	12:55pm PatrickMC: Sedaka, great call
	12:55pm Mef G: Bob Mould at The Newton Theater Newton Nj May 13th! Solo should be fun!
	12:56pm Moammar: "Les Cornichons "by another name.
	12:56pm Scott from Denver: @clarke... what was the name of your band back when?
	12:56pm Hubig Pie: I kept singing Calendar Girl in me noggin
	12:56pm Edward: Doesn't this song call out for bongo feet?
	12:56pm Moammar: There should be more songs about pickles.
	12:56pm clarke: Charlie Pickett & The Eggs at that time.
	12:56pm Moammar: Les pieds bongo, SVP.
	12:57pm clarke: worst deal we've ever had.
	12:58pm John: I think Amy Rigby would cover Kirsty MacColl's song nicely,no?
	12:58pm McGroovey: That lady's not from Philadelphia. Can't fool me.
	12:58pm Squints: Philadephumbria.
	12:59pm Glistener MW: HA!, where is this Fresh Princr prank-letter reading from, Michael?
	12:59pm clarke: good show. good nite. plunk!
	12:59pm Mike + Lilah: Praying for Carlton. May he Dance again
	12:59pm Corey: Thanks Michael! Catch you bright and early!
	1:00pm McGroovey: Buzzcocks: Pete Shelley insisted on no "the". I say The. I still catch myself saying "The" Ukraine.
	1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	1:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Michael!
	1:33pm P-90: We will NEVER FORGET the Raisin People

	11:08am McGroovey: The April March record was available to us collector scum on LP last year. I think Gaylord Fields played it, and I had to have it NOW.
	11:09am GorillaSnax: A friend in Santa Claus, IN is going to listen to "Big Dummy" immediately. May it remind him of his uncle, Trucker Jim. Thank you, Michael.
	11:10am Vertual: I think it was Aunt Esther. "I'm comin' Elizabeth!"
	11:10am Handy Haversack: McGroovey, are those pix from your record room at the top of the playlist?

	11:13am clarke: jaaaaack

	11:13am Handy Haversack: <bowie>CHURCH ON TIME</bowie> Jack! Bagpipe remembers it like it was yesterday!
	11:13am common: Musical fountain! I’ve been there for some reason. And…whopper
	11:14am Mister Dobalina: Or Whoppers candy.
	11:14am clarke: nuthin' wrong with a whopper every once in a while.
	11:14am Hughie Considine: Goldenberg's Peanut Chews...now there was a second-tier candy
	11:15am clarke: mawnin' hugh!
	11:16am Hughie Considine: hey clarke!
	11:16am clarke: record label to Shoes: "i don't hear a hit"
	11:16am Corey: @Handy Alas too early for a fountain show but the lighthouse/catwalk/lake are pretty as always. Good luck with that hangover!
	11:16am PatrickMC: A great American new wave hope
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Kittens are getting me right, Corey! Enjoy the lake!
	11:17am gauche knee: Good Morning & Ramadan Mubarak to those who observe! A quick etiquette guide for the curious non-muslim! www.msn.com...
	11:17am Hughie Considine: The toast of Zion (Illinois)!!
	11:18am clarke: (marlin perkins voice): the habitat of young kittens can be a world of furry hangover cure.
	11:18am P-90: Love those chorused guitars
	11:19am clarke: Tape Op is free IF you have a 'studio' (make one up).
	11:19am gauche knee: @ hughie Peanut Chews was a staple in my early aughts vegan diet. 2nd tier but #1 in my heart.
	11:19am P-90: Also love ads for really expensive microphones that I can never afford…
	11:19am GorillaSnax: Brewers Supply Group is good about throwing the occasional Pearson's Salted Nut Roll in the middle of pallets of grains for hungry brewers... High-fives to BSG for that.
	11:20am Squints: Wasn't Buddha kind of bubblegum central for a while in the late 1960s? I thought I remembered the Ohio Express being on there.
	11:20am jmd: Clark, Tape Op is free. For anyone for any reason.
	11:21am clarke: Buddha WAS and IS bubblegum central.
	11:21am rx scabin: Good morning. Here for a minute. Then off to a white wine preview.
	11:21am Squints: My favoritest Buddha record might be Wadsworth Mansion's "Sweet Mary." ChickachickachickachickaHOPafreight.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: 6/10
	11:21am StringOFperils: It's like proto-Belle and Sebastian
	11:22am Dennis: This rekkid is, ehh, quite in-SANE
	11:22am Handy Haversack: Pallets of grain! Nice, GorillaSnax. You might enjoy this (forthcoming soon!): cup.columbia.edu... Yo, Frank!
	11:22am Hughie Considine: Members of Shoes eschew the "the" -- apparently same applies to Pixies (screams Frank Black) @Gauche knee, ok, I'm willing to reassess the Chews! They were always what I got when I selected "Pot Luck" from the vending machine at the 9W Bowling Alley in Englewood Cliffs. I should have learned, but I kept pushing Pot Luck anyway, hoping for a chocolate miracle...
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buddha label on a 45 to me means 'Quick Joey Small' in my earliest years... SoP - right ?!
	11:22am Michael Shelley: tapeop.com...
	11:22am Squints: Got a good beat and you can dance to it.
	11:23am P-90: The late great Clarence
	11:23am Squints: This Sunland Brothers is real nice.
	11:23am Dennis: Saddened at the passing of Clarence’s brother Roland this week - another virtuoso
	11:24am Kotzwinkled: Steve Cropper HATES this song!
	11:24am Hughie Considine: A friend of mine writes for Tape Op -- he writes lengthy screeds on FB about things like the engineering on Fixx albums. Knows a hell of a lot about equalization.
	11:24am P-90: Hadn’t heard we lost Roland
	11:24am GorillaSnax: Nice, Handy! Yeah - people don't realize how innovative brewers have been over the ages... Example: Brewers in Scotland got into using pine needles and seaweed when the Brits heavily taxed hops. It was the inspiration for using seaweed in the tribute ale to the 52hz whale.
	11:25am clarke: did a gig backing Lonesome Sundown
	11:25am Hoboken Jack: That's cool, Clarke!
	11:25am Listener Baby: Meep!
	11:26am Hoboken Jack: Baby!!
	11:26am clarke: there he is!!
	11:26am clarke: we thought u wuz lost in the fields.
	11:27am Listener Baby: @Clarke. They did, and I’m still not done. I’m toast.
	11:28am Handy Haversack: Heck, we live in Brooklyn and are starting to find shows in Jersey City more convenient than a lot of places in NYC.
	11:28am clarke: heard dat!! u and handy on injured reserve.
	11:28am Listener Baby: Hi Jack.
	11:28am PatrickMC: You're gonna get slapped
	11:29am clarke: sucker slapped!
	11:30am Squints: Love the Bobby Fuller vibe.
	11:30am PatrickMC: Is this the Bobby fuller 4 reincarnated?
	11:31am PatrickMC: @squints jinx
	11:32am Listener Baby: Baby. Who is on drums?
	11:32am jmd: These drums are fantastic!
	11:32am Mr. Pumpy: Handy, I'm pleased that you dig White Eagle Hall. I have a couple of shows coming up there which you may want to hop on. Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Friday 4/22 & Built To Spill, Friday 5/13
	11:33am Glistener MW: Incredible EC cover! Agreed, Michael, I’ll never get sick of this song
	11:33am GorillaSnax: Truth, Handy. Getting to shows in Brooklyn from Brooklyn can be a challenge.
	11:33am Mr. Pumpy: Dickerson had a great guitar tone, right there!
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don Gallucci - Produced 'FunHouse' album for TheStooges.
	11:34am Hughie Considine: Two times a legend!
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Mr. P--contemplating Spiritualized!
	11:35am Michael Shelley: I think DJ Bonebreak on drums
	11:35am Listener Baby: Ah.. I think you are correct.
	11:36am Mr. Pumpy: Handy, I'll do it. It's a Friday night and I would love to see them. I never caught Spacemen 3...and I don't want to say the same of Spiritualized. We'll talk!
	11:39am Kotzwinkled: We need a stage banter tutorial for some bands. Jeff Tweedy in particular is an MVP in that regard.
	11:39am PatrickMC: I'd like to see Marty Stuart on a package show in Buffalo
	11:40am Jason from Houston: Oh yesssssss... This is a great song.
	11:40am Hughie Considine: Gallucci was also the mastermind behind the band Touch. He was too young to tour with the Kingsmen because of his age, but eventually put together a band of his own and scored a minor hit with the Beach Boys lite of “I Could Be So Good to You” in 1967. Not long afterward, with the help of mind-expanding psychedelics, Gallucci and some fellow astral travelers set out to make a musical statement that reflected their consciousness-raising visions. Rehearsing in a castle in the Hollywood Hills, the 19-year-old Gallucci and his bandmates were sincere in proselytizing on behalf of the drug; they truly wanted their music to get people tripping. Gallucci called their work “a spiritual quest put to music.” During the recording sessions, a mythos arose around the project. People like Grace Slick and Jimi Hendrix would drop by to take in the vibes.
	11:40am Jason from Houston: Good morning, good people.
	11:41am Baja Joe: Just DL'ed my first issue of Tape Op. Very cool. Thanks for the lead. I can use this material.
	11:41am Mr. Pumpy: Everything about this Willie recording is doing it for me right now. Yeah, Willie!!!
	11:41am Handy Haversack: Born in 1933! Willie!
	11:42am common: Several readings. So good
	11:43am Mr. Pumpy: Handy...for reals! I think of my pops and his poor health and how he should have smoked more reefer. I mean in lieu of the booze.
	11:44am Kotzwinkled: Tried to explain axe throwing bars to my mom, who lives in the boonies in Kansas. "Can't you just do that in your yard?" she said.
	11:44am Baja Joe: Axes and booze. Brilliant. Did the same. It was fun.
	11:44am clarke: boris the spy der
	11:44am Handy Haversack: I mean, she's not wrong, Kotzwinkled.
	11:45am Hubig Pie: I'm also an advocate for alcohol and power tools
	11:45am Handy Haversack: My power axe is one of the best decisions I ever made.
	11:45am Pedro in Arlington: Axes and booze in a state that still won't let you pump your own gas. Ain't just the South that's different.
	11:46am P-90: For a second I thought the app said “Baby and the Party Gang “
	11:46am Kotzwinkled: Holy toledo! Blasting this for our 5 month old, Ruby, right now.
	11:46am clarke: Baby IS the party gang!!
	11:47am Listener Baby: Maybe so. But right now, Baby is a Zombie.
	11:48am Jason from Houston: Ohhhhh shoot! Drinking/reciprocating saw = noooooooo problem.
	11:48am Listener Baby: Does Herbie have a shirt on? That is the question.
	11:49am Handy Haversack: There you go, Jason! That's the spirit!
	11:49am clarke: MovieTime ya'll??? Frank?? FRANK?!?!?
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I suppose GerogeCarlin woulda proposed fencing off everyone who wanna drink & throw axes into their own territory & let 'em go @ it...
	11:51am Handy Haversack: One can also pay more than the suggested price for such a single and send a bit more scratch over to said Ukrainian Center. Bandcamp! Not quite a Chinese VC nightmare yet!
	11:51am Frank In Queens: Here, clarke. This week plus featured both versions of The Killers and Written On The Wind. What about you?
	11:52am Michael Shelley: dennisdiken.bandcamp.com
	11:53am clarke: a killer's suite - wow!! interesting week for me: i watched two flicks by Micheal Winner: The Stone Killer and Death Wish -- i was surprised that deathwish was good - ignored it as a teen.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...yes - the drums are tastefully bitchen...)
	11:54am clarke: is Written On The Wind the clarence darrow monkey trial flick?? spencer tracy? great one if so.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Inherit The Wind.
	11:55am Frank In Queens: You know, I've never seen the first Death Wish. I've only seen parts of the sequels as a pretty young kids. Revenge flicks were very popular at that time, yeah?
	11:55am Squints: That was a real nice record.
	11:55am clarke: ahhhhhh - yes that one. sorry.
	11:56am clarke: yes mid-70's was vigilante time - maybe it should return (liam neeson?).
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Written On The Wind is Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Robert Stack, and Dorothy Malone. Directed by Douglas Sirk.
	11:56am clarke: YES - a great sound DD!! ah yea - i have seen the Sirk - love those.
	11:57am Frank In Queens: Melodrama to the extreme.
	11:57am Squints: If there can be axe throwing bars, why can't there be lawn dart bars?
	11:57am clarke: dark melodrama
	11:57am Frank In Queens: Yeah, it's pretty dark.
	11:58am clarke: let's get people liquored up and then give 'em weaspons!! what could go wrong?
	11:58am Squints: There are no bad versions of Bowling Green.
	11:58am StringOFperils: And eye-popping film-making, brilliant color and settting; way over the top $$
	11:58am Frank In Queens: My elementary school was called Bowling Green.
	11:59am Squints: Is that Glen singing harmony with himself? Sweet.
	11:59am clarke: okay F, is that the one where Rock converts the old mill into a home?? i like that one.
	11:59am Hughie Considine: was going to say the same thing, @squints -- there's a great one by Neko Case & Her Boyfriends
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @clarke, no it's the one about the dysfunctional Texas oil family.
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interesting - no Everly Brothers.
	11:59am Squints: I LOVE that Neko Case cover.
	12:00pm Dennis Diken: thanks for the spin and kind shout out, Mikey!
	12:00pm clarke: i thought that was Giant, ha ha ha.
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, ha somewhat similar I guess. But this one deals with alcoholism, impotence, nymphomania, unrequited love, and depression.
	12:03pm clarke: will have to re-visit my sirk
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: Might watch this amazing Aussie biker flick called Stone tonight. It's Christina's turn to choose, but I might be able to sway her.
	12:04pm Scott from Denver: Headed to the Boulder Theatre Wednesday evening to see Marty Stuart. Taking the wife and our 15 year old daughter. Hopefully her mind will be blown open.
	12:04pm clarke: from the 70's??
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Prefer to wear MediumTall - call it Extra Medium just to be difficult...
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: Indeed
	12:05pm clarke: speaking of Austra=lia - 'ello Eddy!!! mate!!
	12:05pm Hubig Pie: When I was a child extra medium was referred to as 'husky'
	12:05pm Listener Baby: Kudos to whomever turned you on to Izaak, Baby.
	12:07pm Scott from Denver: Montgomery Wards had a designated "HUSKY DEPARTMENT".
	12:07pm Squints: So was small "rare?"
	12:07pm Michael Shelley: YEAH!
	12:07pm PatrickMC: Such a #1
	12:08pm Listener Baby: Scott. Just don’t build up Marty too much to your kid. I made that mistake. Just say he’s pretty good, and is still learning how to do his thing.
	12:08pm clarke: Baby, keep meaning to listen to the punk's show - on fridays at 9pm (central time)??
	12:08pm Scott from Denver: Ha! Well played.
	12:09pm clarke: i missed it last nite, if so. dang.
	12:09pm Listener Baby: @Clarke. She’s doing awesome. Her last show was really great.
	12:10pm clarke: what do you mean by "last" - you mean latest? or she's not doing it any more??
	12:10pm Listener Baby: 10am Fridays 1:00 pm your time.
	12:11pm Listener Baby: Latest.
	12:11pm clarke: ha ha ha - i am just an hour behind east coast - not in singapore (yet)
	12:12pm clarke: (turntable one voice): it wasn't me!!!
	12:13pm Matt Fiveash: If you hadn't told us otherwise I would have guessed this was the Rutles
	12:13pm clarke: oh - i see it is really at 2pm in northampton?? got it.
	12:14pm Listener Baby: This is amazing!
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...almost sound like Brooklynites ashamed of how well they got those harmonies arranged so they blunt them ...probly business or studio back sceners...
	12:14pm clarke: speaking of Rutles: RIP Viv Stanshell
	12:16pm Dennis: Whew…. Talk about “beat”. What’d they do - give lessons to The Surfsiders?
	12:17pm Squints: Not everything has to be everyone's thing. You can have my mushrooms. I'll take the jalapenos.
	12:17pm clarke: was fortunate enough to see Thunderbirds quite often at this little club in baton rouge, Chiefs. maybe ten times?? or so.
	12:17pm Glistener MW: “…and that coworker grew to be Nickleback.”
	12:17pm Scott from Denver: Jimmie's interview on Marc Maron was pretty good.
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Voice a lot like Stevie's - spooky.
	12:18pm Listener Baby: Double-est D! Hugs brother.
	12:18pm Handy Haversack: Hey, there might be Nickleback fans in Portugal!
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just compare how the Brothers dress...
	12:19pm Scott from Denver: I got to see the Thunderbirds at the Zoo Bar in Lincoln NE in college.
	12:19pm Andres: Good morning! Stevie Ray Vaughn was not exactly my thing either but the video for Cold Shot is a classic!
	12:20pm clarke: played the Zoo long ago - great venue!!
	12:20pm Squints: I loved those first couple of T-Birds LPs on Chrysalis.
	12:21pm Ed From Jersey City: Those Vaughn brothers are very different but each very special in their own way.
	12:21pm clarke: yes - they recorded quite well considering they were amazing live, Squints.
	12:21pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - hey hey!
	12:22pm jmd: smooth voice. nice.
	12:23pm clarke: (what i mean is those albums happened to capture the energy of their live shows)
	12:23pm andy fuchs: Either Vaughan brother is cool. Each has their own thing happening. It's the "Vaughanabee's" out there today I can do without... give it a rest and find your own groove. Hold the Mayo...
	12:23pm McGroovey: I love Mark Maron's interviews, except that he interviews so many people I'm not interested in (actors, comedians), so I don't usually listen. And yet, when I listen to one of those interviews with someone I don't care about, it always ends up being an interesting conversation--like falling into a great conversation at a bar with someone you've never met before, and wouldn't have met except sitting at that bar, and you'd never guess that the person would have been interesting.
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: Ahhh, Kirsty.
	12:24pm egould310: The closest Marty Stuart show for me is in The Dalles, OR. It’s a 4 hour drive from Seattle. But it is next Saturday. Charming little town along the Columbia River. Might just have to make that trip.
	12:25pm clarke: sounds like a winnah!
	12:26pm Hubig Pie: Happy to be hearin' this right now
	12:26pm Squints: I like SRV well enough in doses.
	12:26pm Mike Sin: Enjoying the show today! Been listening to a million versions of "C.C. Rider / See See Rider" for million years, but... only heard the original Ma Rainey version within the past 10.
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: andy fuchs: have you seen Marty Stuart in person ?
	12:28pm Scott from Denver: There is a live recording of the SRV and Double Trouble show at the Omaha Music Hall and the crowd was just roaring the whole time. Gave me goose-bumps. I think it was on YuoTube. Its just the audio but man, what a show.
	12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Caroline is a 10. SRV didn't innovate anything new into UrbanBlues - but he did revive it @ the unlikeliest time. I just saw him as the tough bulllet-chewing Texas Gittarist who'd (say) play til his calluses came off. It was just such a buzz to go see him simply Wail.
	12:30pm PatrickMC: Oh man, smooth bourbon on a Saturday
	12:30pm Scott from Denver: www.youtube.com...
	12:31pm Mr C: Charlie!
	12:31pm Hubig Pie: The Silver Fox !
	12:31pm andy fuchs: I have not seen MS in person, but do hope-to. I did see Cousin Kenny Vaughan at a NAMM show gathering and he's an amazing performer and player in his own right. Is he local anytime soon ?
	12:32pm Edward: What album is this great Charlie Rich track from?
	12:32pm Michael Shelley: I'll let you know next swing through
	12:32pm clarke: @Scott in Denver: you seem to have caught a lot of shows in the (mid)west -- on same tour as Zoo Bar, we opened for Gun Club in Norman OK - wanna say at a club called _____ Tombs? remember that venue??
	12:33pm egould310: Some Redd Kross would be nice.
	12:33pm clarke: that Charlie Rich song probably came out during the pre-album era but is collected on several hits things.
	12:36pm Hoboken Jack: Coolies schmoolies, we want Juniper!
	12:37pm Baby: If I am not mistaken, Juniper also a part of the Go Go’s tribute.
	12:37pm clarke: or the REAL Coolies from atlanta!
	12:37pm Moammar: In re Vaughn: On YouTube you can find an album from an early incarnation of Double Trouble with the Leroi Brothers bassist and Lou Ann Barton singing. Far better than anything that came later on.
	12:38pm PatrickMC: @Edward, I have it on vinyl on Boss Man, a pretty good album www.allmusic.com...
	12:38pm clarke: would that be Casper Rawls??
	12:38pm Mr C: Charlie's version of Nice and Easy was on the Groove label lp Big Boss Man..
	12:39pm Edward: Thanks, Patrick & Mr. C.!
	12:39pm Scott from Denver: @clarke: Never made it much out of state. Poor college student status. In Omaha we had the Ranch Bowl, yes, bowling alley and music venue. Saw the Buzzcocks. First stage dive ducking under the neck of the bass players guitar. Howard Street Tavern downtown had Zoo Bar carry overs. Zoo Bar was usually affiliated with Alligator Records acts.
	12:39pm egould310: Subtle sexual overtones in this poetry.
	12:39pm StringOFperils: The male must go through
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: Michael, I'm finally reading that Little Richard biography I won on the show last Marathon and enjoying the hell out of it!
	12:40pm PatrickMC: Back to the definitive article. Buzzcocks or the Buzzcocks?
	12:41pm clarke: thnx Scott!! still trying to search my memory banks..... and the beat goes on.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whut? Garage paragons Count5 sounding like a 70s BoogieFunk RawkBand ??
	12:41pm clarke: that's Glaser - pronounced like laser!
	12:42pm Scott from Denver: The Paladins at the Zoo Bar were the TOPS! Paladins rule with those first 3 albums.
	12:42pm MD: Kirsty MacColl died in a diving accident in 2000 on Mexico…
	12:43pm clarke: yes Paladins certainly were fantastic before they made some kinda funky turn, there.
	12:43pm Michael Shelley: that's not how Marty pronounced it...
	12:44pm clarke: well - i am just going from how Tompall Glaser pronounced it, ha ha.
	12:45pm Moammar: @clarke Jackie Newhouse, I believe.
	12:45pm clarke: ah - the FIRST leroi bassist - great player, not a whole lot of personality, but nice fellow.
	12:50pm egould310: #1 hit from Bob Mould. My day just improved by 15%. Thanks Michael!
	12:51pm Squints: Is this the Bob Mould Sugar? <arte johnson voice> veddy interestink. I'm know what I'm poking into this afternoon.
	12:51pm Edward: A long-forgotten (by me anyway) classic from Bob Mould! Listen to that! Why would you NOT put it on repeat and just listen to it for hours?
	12:51pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Great show today. Stay Number One, everyone!
	12:51pm StuartR: Sugar #1. Bob Mould now on tour? Enjoyed the tunes as always today.
	12:52pm clarke: a(nother) Sugar earworm for ya's: Where Diamonds Are Halos (sung by dave barbe)
	12:52pm MplsCoco: Sugar! ❤️
