	5:16pm Kitschy Mama: Ioway! Nice! just down to the left!
	5:17pm Fatherflot: KM -- Yup, in Ottumwa, home of Radar O'Reilly and Tom Arnold!
	5:20pm Fatherflot: This show never fails to put a big smile on my face instantly.
	5:20pm Kitschy Mama: Ha! who doesn't love Radar! He's like the original Jason Alexander.
	5:21pm Kitschy Mama: Aww thanks! Glad ya like!
	5:22pm Fatherflot: KM -- The original lovable TV nebbish --- only he wasn't a sociopath like George Costanza
	👹 5:23pm Motobro: Ellow K Dub! Finally get to listen in real time.
	5:23pm Kitschy Mama: FF, haha yes! Although, sociopath is somewhat relatable for me personally. :)
	5:24pm Fatherflot: Groucho outlived Gummo by three months. . .
	5:24pm Kitschy Mama: Welcome Moto!
	👹 5:25pm Kim Reynolds: And here we are!
	5:25pm Fatherflot: I'm so jealous of your stash of dops, KM. I'm always like: "Wow!"
	5:26pm Kitschy Mama: Kim Welcome!
	5:26pm Fatherflot: drops
	👹 5:26pm Kim Reynolds: Woot!Woot!
	5:27pm Kitschy Mama: FF, Thanks too much work going into this dumb show!
	5:28pm Fatherflot: JM -- Right? I can't believe how much time I'm putting into mine, just trying to keep up with all the other fantastic DJs here.
	5:28pm Fatherflot: KM fingers not working today.
	5:30pm Kitschy Mama: No worries. These programs though, it's gotta be in ya to do it. I'm such a music nerd, nice to have an outlet.
	5:33pm Fatherflot: KM: I feel the same way. I did almost 100 episodes on Mixcloud before I got here. I barely heard anything from listeners, but just kept plugging away because it made me happy to do it. Here it's a whole different dynamic --- amazing feedback. Gratifying, to be sure, but it's also like "Oh my god, people are actually listening --- better make sure every show is absolutely the best it can be every single time."
	5:35pm Eric R: hey KM and F2! and Motobro!
	👹 5:35pm medson: Sounding great KM as per usual.
	5:36pm Kitschy Mama: FF, yep totally same.
	5:36pm MOM WHIG: Hi all - just stopping by.
	5:36pm Kitschy Mama: Hey Eric! Welcome! Mom Too!
	5:36pm Kitschy Mama: Thank ya Medson!
	5:37pm Fatherflot: Hey MW and Medson. Got another LL game in a few. We are 6-0!
	5:37pm Fatherflot: Hey Eric!
	5:37pm Eric R: can't do any better than that! 6-0! Look out for the playoffs, though. Teams can get hot late.
	5:37pm MOM WHIG: F2 amazing!! Like your new time tonite too
	5:38pm Eric R: hey Mom! I feel like I'm cheating on Kip! Two great shows at the same time.
	5:38pm MOM WHIG: Eric - back & forth for me
	5:39pm Fatherflot: Eric: I have to go up against my hero Dave The Spazz!
	5:39pm Kitschy Mama: Everyone feel free to teeter totter!
	5:39pm Fatherflot: MW - my family and friends who are still in NJ are very happy to get the show started an hour earlier.
	5:40pm Eric R: you had to have a bass singer if you were singing under the streetlight
	👹 5:40pm medson: Hey there F2
	5:41pm Kitschy Mama: Eric! yes totally! glad to meet more doo wop fiends!
	5:42pm Fatherflot: Eric: I imagine there were not many given bassmen in a given neighborhood. The competition for them must have been fierce!
	5:43pm Eric R: There was (maybe still is) a fantastic show on KPOO in the Bay Area, called "Grinder's Grooveyard" and that's where I started loving these doowops. F2, I bet you're right about that!
	5:44pm Fatherflot: KM - I think of Doo Wop as the blues of the north. NY rock of the 60s is totally infused with it and it leads to a very different sound than southern blues.
	5:44pm Kitschy Mama: we're all adults here... right?
	5:44pm Kitschy Mama: FF, sure i could see that.
	5:44pm Fatherflot: Double Entendre roooools.
	👹 5:45pm Motobro: Tapping that thang and holding it wide open!
	👹 5:45pm Motobro: Get ur chance under the keg.
	5:46pm Fatherflot: KM: I don't know if I said it here, but one day I was learning "White Light/White Heat" by the Velvet Underground when a light suddenly went off in my head and I said "Of course! it's a doo wop song!" A lot of VU songs have doo wop foundations.
	👹 5:47pm Motobro: Yup, as a kid I remember we were all excited about cottage cheese….. NOT 😂
	5:47pm Kitschy Mama: oh yeah, you've mentioned that before. Lou loved all that early doo wop n' soul.
	👹 5:47pm Ellen: Sounds like Ronnie Bird listened to the Knickerbockers
	5:47pm Fatherflot: "I'm Waiting for the Man" even has full on barbershop quartet chord changes.
	5:47pm Eric R: I like mine with strawberry jam! Hold the cottage cheese, just give me the jam
	5:47pm myron feld: F2: Lou was a HUGE doo wop fan.
	5:47pm Kitschy Mama: Ellen, Hey! Sho does!
	5:47pm MOM WHIG: Cottage Cheese on half peaches
	👹 5:48pm Motobro: Cheese cake fo sure.
	5:48pm Hackensack Slim: Lies = Cheese en Francais? Diggin the show KM!
	5:48pm Kitschy Mama: I'm more a spoonful of cottage cheese at midnight gal.
	5:48pm Fatherflot: Myron: Right on. There was a "Coney Island Baby" by the Excellents before his. And it's still a better record!
	5:49pm Eric R: too many VU fans don't like doowop and thus declare that the early Lou songs were "satirical".
	5:49pm Fatherflot: Eric: Those are the kinds of fans that Lou despised openly.
	5:49pm Kitschy Mama: Eric, thats the best stuff to ever exist!
	👹 5:50pm Motobro: Jezz, 1972 was gas had lead in it and was 90 cents a gallon for the good stuff.
	5:50pm myron feld: those VU fans couldn't be wronger.
	5:53pm myron feld: F2: re: Coney Island Baby -- oh yes. I knew that one from Gus Gossert's Doo Wop Shop on WCBS-FM in the early 70s.
	👹 5:54pm Ellen: Digging this Lefty Combs track KM
	5:56pm Kitschy Mama: Ellen, Thanks! more "Lefties" out there than I thought. :)
	5:57pm Eric R: a Buddy influence
	👹 5:57pm Ellen: Was thinking the same Eric
	👹 6:02pm Ellen: Oh you're just pushing my buttons now KM. Do I need to flash a certain hand symbol? :)
	6:02pm Eric R: love these Rubble-y type songs
	6:03pm Kitschy Mama: Haha! Don't push the "Panic" button!
	6:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! Elves giving the Raiders a run for the money ? ...a very very short run...
	6:04pm Kitschy Mama: Welcome Rev! Thanks For Tuning in!
	👹 6:04pm Motobro: I like trains. But not kicks.
	6:04pm Eric R: sounds like Vitajex in A face in the Crowd
	6:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...now hearing 'Tell Me Tell Me Now' by Kix ...but nevermind that ! :D ...
	6:06pm myron feld: Lou recorded "Kicks" on CIB but I think he was referring to a different sort.
	6:06pm MOM WHIG: RR Nov 63- Moto, myron feld, Ellen
	6:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh it's called 'Yeah Yeah Yeah'. But nevermind.
	6:07pm myron feld: Hi MOM!
	6:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + Evening MumWhigz ! +
	6:08pm MOM WHIG: F2 feeling better after your surgery?
	6:11pm Fatherflot: MW -- doing okay, thanks. Sitting in the dugout now. Just a cheerleader this time!
	6:11pm MOM WHIG: F2 take it easy
	6:12pm Eric R: one of my fave lines from Marty...his Mom saying "why don't you go to the Stardust Ballroom? It's loaded with tomatoes"
	6:12pm Fatherflot: Myron -- the great Don K. Reed
	6:13pm Kitschy Mama: I watched Marty like 3 times this week. So good, love Ern.
	6:15pm Kitschy Mama: Eric, more Marty samples coming later in the show.
	6:16pm Fatherflot: Eric:. That reminds me of the line in "Nothing Sacred" about "Tootsies of all nations"
	6:17pm Fatherflot: KM has the best samples!
	6:18pm Kitschy Mama: Thanks FF!
	6:18pm Eric R: I love Chayefsky's scripts.
	6:19pm Kitschy Mama: Eric, yes! lotsa passion in those lines!
	6:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bourbons sound like (Eric) Burdons (HBD)...
	6:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fake Animals - agnfab...
	6:27pm Kitschy Mama: Best Wishes Bunny
	6:30pm Eric R: maybe she ain't your baby
	6:31pm myron feld: F2: you're right, Don K. Reed had the Doo Wop Shop. Gus Gossert's show preceded that one on CBS-FM by a few years -- now I can't think of the name, or if it even had one. Then Gus went to PIX (I think) and eventually met an unfortunate end in the mid-70s.
	6:34pm Fatherflot: Myron - I seem to remember The Doo Wop Shop continuing into the 90svat least. I haven't lived in the NYC area for many years
	6:35pm myron feld: it did -- I mean Gus himself met an unfortunate end in the mid-70s.
	6:36pm Fatherflot: But I can remember trying to find Doo Wop in the radio every time I visited. I also favored bars like The Charlemagne in Hackensack that had doo wop heavy jukeboxes when visiting.
	6:37pm Fatherflot: Charlemarmee. Damn autocorrect
	6:37pm Scott67: G'day Kitschy & Retroactive! ☕😎🤙🎶📻🌧🌏🌻
	6:38pm Fatherflot: Nothing like Doo Wop from a jukebox in an old time bar.
	6:38pm Kitschy Mama: Mornin' Scott! Welcome! How's life over yonder?

	5:36pm MOM WHIG: Hi all - just stopping by.
	5:36pm Kitschy Mama: Hey Eric! Welcome! Mom Too!
	5:36pm Kitschy Mama: Thank ya Medson!
	5:37pm Fatherflot: Hey MW and Medson. Got another LL game in a few. We are 6-0!
	5:37pm Fatherflot: Hey Eric!
	5:37pm Eric R: can't do any better than that! 6-0! Look out for the playoffs, though. Teams can get hot late.
	5:37pm MOM WHIG: F2 amazing!! Like your new time tonite too
	5:38pm Eric R: hey Mom! I feel like I'm cheating on Kip! Two great shows at the same time.
	5:38pm MOM WHIG: Eric - back & forth for me
	5:39pm Fatherflot: Eric: I have to go up against my hero Dave The Spazz!
	5:39pm Kitschy Mama: Everyone feel free to teeter totter!
	5:39pm Fatherflot: MW - my family and friends who are still in NJ are very happy to get the show started an hour earlier.
	5:40pm Eric R: you had to have a bass singer if you were singing under the streetlight
	👹 5:40pm medson: Hey there F2
	5:41pm Kitschy Mama: Eric! yes totally! glad to meet more doo wop fiends!
	5:42pm Fatherflot: Eric: I imagine there were not many given bassmen in a given neighborhood. The competition for them must have been fierce!
	5:43pm Eric R: There was (maybe still is) a fantastic show on KPOO in the Bay Area, called "Grinder's Grooveyard" and that's where I started loving these doowops. F2, I bet you're right about that!
	5:44pm Fatherflot: KM - I think of Doo Wop as the blues of the north. NY rock of the 60s is totally infused with it and it leads to a very different sound than southern blues.
	5:44pm Kitschy Mama: we're all adults here... right?
	5:44pm Kitschy Mama: FF, sure i could see that.
	5:44pm Fatherflot: Double Entendre roooools.
	👹 5:45pm Motobro: Tapping that thang and holding it wide open!
	👹 5:45pm Motobro: Get ur chance under the keg.
	5:46pm Fatherflot: KM: I don't know if I said it here, but one day I was learning "White Light/White Heat" by the Velvet Underground when a light suddenly went off in my head and I said "Of course! it's a doo wop song!" A lot of VU songs have doo wop foundations.
	👹 5:47pm Motobro: Yup, as a kid I remember we were all excited about cottage cheese….. NOT 😂
	5:47pm Kitschy Mama: oh yeah, you've mentioned that before. Lou loved all that early doo wop n' soul.
	👹 5:47pm Ellen: Sounds like Ronnie Bird listened to the Knickerbockers
	5:47pm Fatherflot: "I'm Waiting for the Man" even has full on barbershop quartet chord changes.
	5:47pm Eric R: I like mine with strawberry jam! Hold the cottage cheese, just give me the jam
	5:47pm myron feld: F2: Lou was a HUGE doo wop fan.
	5:47pm Kitschy Mama: Ellen, Hey! Sho does!
	5:47pm MOM WHIG: Cottage Cheese on half peaches
	👹 5:48pm Motobro: Cheese cake fo sure.
	5:48pm Hackensack Slim: Lies = Cheese en Francais? Diggin the show KM!
	5:48pm Kitschy Mama: I'm more a spoonful of cottage cheese at midnight gal.
	5:48pm Fatherflot: Myron: Right on. There was a "Coney Island Baby" by the Excellents before his. And it's still a better record!
	5:49pm Eric R: too many VU fans don't like doowop and thus declare that the early Lou songs were "satirical".
	5:49pm Fatherflot: Eric: Those are the kinds of fans that Lou despised openly.
	5:49pm Kitschy Mama: Eric, thats the best stuff to ever exist!
	👹 5:50pm Motobro: Jezz, 1972 was gas had lead in it and was 90 cents a gallon for the good stuff.
	5:50pm myron feld: those VU fans couldn't be wronger.
	5:53pm myron feld: F2: re: Coney Island Baby -- oh yes. I knew that one from Gus Gossert's Doo Wop Shop on WCBS-FM in the early 70s.
	👹 5:54pm Ellen: Digging this Lefty Combs track KM
	5:56pm Kitschy Mama: Ellen, Thanks! more "Lefties" out there than I thought. :)
	5:57pm Eric R: a Buddy influence
	👹 5:57pm Ellen: Was thinking the same Eric
	👹 6:02pm Ellen: Oh you're just pushing my buttons now KM. Do I need to flash a certain hand symbol? :)
	6:02pm Eric R: love these Rubble-y type songs
	6:03pm Kitschy Mama: Haha! Don't push the "Panic" button!
	6:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! Elves giving the Raiders a run for the money ? ...a very very short run...
	6:04pm Kitschy Mama: Welcome Rev! Thanks For Tuning in!
	👹 6:04pm Motobro: I like trains. But not kicks.
	6:04pm Eric R: sounds like Vitajex in A face in the Crowd
	6:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...now hearing 'Tell Me Tell Me Now' by Kix ...but nevermind that ! :D ...
	6:06pm myron feld: Lou recorded "Kicks" on CIB but I think he was referring to a different sort.
	6:06pm MOM WHIG: RR Nov 63- Moto, myron feld, Ellen
	6:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh it's called 'Yeah Yeah Yeah'. But nevermind.
	6:07pm myron feld: Hi MOM!
	6:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + Evening MumWhigz ! +
	6:08pm MOM WHIG: F2 feeling better after your surgery?
	6:11pm Fatherflot: MW -- doing okay, thanks. Sitting in the dugout now. Just a cheerleader this time!
	6:11pm MOM WHIG: F2 take it easy
	6:12pm Eric R: one of my fave lines from Marty...his Mom saying "why don't you go to the Stardust Ballroom? It's loaded with tomatoes"
	6:12pm Fatherflot: Myron -- the great Don K. Reed
	6:13pm Kitschy Mama: I watched Marty like 3 times this week. So good, love Ern.
	6:15pm Kitschy Mama: Eric, more Marty samples coming later in the show.
	6:16pm Fatherflot: Eric:. That reminds me of the line in "Nothing Sacred" about "Tootsies of all nations"
	6:17pm Fatherflot: KM has the best samples!
	6:18pm Kitschy Mama: Thanks FF!
	6:18pm Eric R: I love Chayefsky's scripts.
	6:19pm Kitschy Mama: Eric, yes! lotsa passion in those lines!
	6:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bourbons sound like (Eric) Burdons (HBD)...
	6:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fake Animals - agnfab...
	6:27pm Kitschy Mama: Best Wishes Bunny
	6:30pm Eric R: maybe she ain't your baby
	6:31pm myron feld: F2: you're right, Don K. Reed had the Doo Wop Shop. Gus Gossert's show preceded that one on CBS-FM by a few years -- now I can't think of the name, or if it even had one. Then Gus went to PIX (I think) and eventually met an unfortunate end in the mid-70s.
	6:34pm Fatherflot: Myron - I seem to remember The Doo Wop Shop continuing into the 90svat least. I haven't lived in the NYC area for many years
	6:35pm myron feld: it did -- I mean Gus himself met an unfortunate end in the mid-70s.
	6:36pm Fatherflot: But I can remember trying to find Doo Wop in the radio every time I visited. I also favored bars like The Charlemagne in Hackensack that had doo wop heavy jukeboxes when visiting.
	6:37pm Fatherflot: Charlemarmee. Damn autocorrect
	6:37pm Scott67: G'day Kitschy & Retroactive! ☕😎🤙🎶📻🌧🌏🌻
	6:38pm Fatherflot: Nothing like Doo Wop from a jukebox in an old time bar.
