	11:15am Ciggy: I hear guitar strings
	11:15am clarke: dang son - PRIME leaf-peepin'!!! you'll be surprised there is not as much fall color on the cape, because the salt winds make the leaves just go brown, usually.
	11:15am JSG: Jupp me!
	11:15am Pedro in Arlington: What @Todd from RVA says. Finally saw them in Hopewell last night. I think the venue even added something. They don't get shows every night like in the big cities. So the audience was primed for a special occasion. No. 1.
	11:15am JG: me too Roger
	11:15am Listener Baby: Used to see a band that covered this. Can’t remember who?…
	11:15am bonneville73: this sounds awesome! Off to eBay I go again. Thanks Michael.
	11:15am Hughie Considine: Well, this sure does not scream Tony Visconti.

	11:16am clarke: @Baby - it might be geraint wilkins?? as mickey jupp used to play in his band, among others.
	11:18am Squints: The pin oaks tend to go straight to brown.
	11:18am Frank In Queens: Mund?
	11:18am Squints: TWO Cactus Blossoms tracks? Oh. Wait. 8^)
	11:19am Hughie Considine: Mickey Jupp certainly couldn't have gotten away with the record cover image for "Juppanese" -- says a lot about sensibilities in the late '70s.
	11:19am Hughie Considine: I mean, these days...
	11:21am phat in lincoln: Preston!
	11:21am phat in lincoln: I know Preston's kid. He's... interesting.
	11:21am Dennis Diken: Hey, Mikey and gang! Love that Everlies track - reminds of a Freddy Blassie quote: “I’m lookin’ for the guy who’s supplyin’ the dimes!”
	11:21am clarke: 'lo Hugh! @Baby - you will see plenty of leaves when you head west to n'hampton.
	11:21am morphe': Led z .. if you are in SF .. my Crazy Uncle Frank lived on Mission and 23rd above the place that rented out Tuxedos... It had a Neon sign that blinked in his window 24/7 .. was a strange place to stay = 1976 ...
	11:21am McGroovey: clarke lives in chitlin country...
	11:22am phat in lincoln: Kool Aid was also invented in Nebraska. Lol.
	11:22am Squints: G.G.Y.
	11:23am Hughie Considine: Greetin's and chitlins, Clarke!
	11:23am morphe': Chitlins are pig intestines = smell horrific when being cleaned or boiled but apparently super tasty ???
	11:24am Listener Baby: Baby. Nikki coming to NYC, December.
	11:25am clarke: nola is not really chitlun country - but, the family is in the area where chitluns were common. never tried them, tho.
	11:25am Frank In Queens: Can't wait for the release of Beyond Chitluns.
	11:25am Greg g: https://youtu.be/mP0flneNfaQ
	11:25am clarke: (my ancestral home, that is)
	11:26am drr: I don't think chitlins ever come within miles of a city. Just an extreme country poverty food, as far as I know.
	11:26am Mr. Oxford: I felt like this was a lost song by the Beach Boys or something. Real good.
	11:26am clarke: agree, DRR -- good mawwwnin!! and it is NIIICE here!!
	11:27am McGroovey: Yeah, time is different in NJ. It takes me two hours to get home from Brooklyn after midnight (10 miles), but an hour to get home from Asbury Park (60 miles). I discovered that when I went to see the Damned. The tickets for Asbury Park were cheaper than for NYC, too.
	11:27am drr: Now cracklins (pork rinds), sure.
	11:27am Squints: This Skeeter jam is allllllllright.
	11:27am clarke: sure, dave!
	11:28am drr: yeah, clarke, doors open and AC off!
	11:28am Baja Joe: Good morning Michael. Anyone going to the J. Richman show in Montclair this evening?
	11:28am rx scabin: I'll see you soon. Have a good day.
	11:28am Michael Shelley: ME!
	11:29am Michael Shelley: ANYBODY WANT FREE TIX TO RICHMAN TONIGHT IN MONTCLAIR?
	11:29am drr: Pork rinds out of a bag are OK, but I had some hot ones straight from the fryer, talk about nauseating. They look like dark scrabble tiles before they go in.
	11:30am ?: Outpost: nice venue, difficult parking
	11:31am clarke: dave, did you go to gretna fest?? apparently Mike Love's Beach Boys played dat.
	11:32am drr: didn't go this year.
	11:32am Dano59: Seeing Jonathan next Saturday! I think only obstinate in his particularity. I've seen him ask for a fan to be turned off in a kitchen 20 feet down a hall from the stage and for a buzzing light overhead to be turned off at an outdoor festival.
	11:34am clarke: Graboff!!
	11:34am MplsCoco: Love Laura!
	11:34am Listener Baby: Man this tune has got legs. Might even be a classic at this point. Never tire of it. Ever.
	11:34am Michael Shelley: There is a new-ish municipal parking lot 100 yards away, but I can walk there
	11:34am Squints: Just conjunto enough. I like this.
	11:35am Dano59: That Skeeter/Goffin-King tune was done nicely by Alex Chilton (even live with TFC) and ... She & Him?
	11:37am McGroovey: Not the Tremblin' is one of my favorite records. And one great thing is that this song isn't actually the best song on the record.
	11:37am Dano59: sorry ... Alex with YLT '07 at Maxwell's, not Teenage Fanclub - ntmk, anyway)
	11:38am clarke: worst deal we've ever had.
	11:39am drr: How many different sets of lyrics does this song ("In the Jailhouse Now") have?
	11:39am clarke: twelve.
	11:39am morphe': Inner Organs (formerly poverty food) are all the Rave in High End restaurants ... Last 10-15 years .. There are super expensive places that only serve inner organs ... "... Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of both beast and fowl..."
	11:40am Squints: Not forty-two?
	11:40am Frank In Queens: 8/10
	11:40am McGroovey: "Inner Organs" ... Band name idea...
	11:41am Dano59: flip side to 'Vietnam'
	11:41am clarke: 9/10
	11:41am Frank In Queens: As opposed to outer organs
	11:41am prof.fuzz: @mcG: especially if it's a literal organ trio
	11:41am clarke: vox and hammond
	11:41am Bob: Prime Leaf Peepin' seems like a good band name. Better than most of what passes for new band names anyway.
	11:41am prof.fuzz: and farfisa
	11:41am drr: "Organic Produce"
	11:42am clarke: FuZZZZZ
	11:42am clarke: wattsup Thrasher!!
	11:42am Listener Baby: Outer organs, amazing band name Frank! Almost as good as my new one I came up with last night. Deer In The Head Lice
	11:42am prof.fuzz: clarkEEEEEE
	11:42am Mr. Oxford: Isn't that a Marshall Crenshaw song? Or am I confusing it with some other song?
	11:42am Dano59: Played one of Gordon's non-Link LPs (this one!) at a party last Saturday. Because rockabilly
	11:43am clarke: u got it ox.
	11:43am Hughie Considine: Oh, that's good, @LB.
	11:43am Squints: Vox and Hammond would great names for dogs.
	11:43am McGroovey: @Mr. Oxford. Yes, it is
	11:43am Cooh John: Is there a Marshall Crenshaw connection to this?
	11:43am prof.fuzz: @baby: that's a good one!
	11:44am clarke: @Squints - also archimedes
	11:44am Hughie Considine: It's Marshall's song
	11:45am Ciggy: Robert Gordon at The Limelight circa '95
	11:45am Dano59: Better Robert than Shakin' Stevens, I say
	11:45am Hughie Considine: I do recall hearing the Gordon version a bunch. You'd hear him on WPIX.
	11:45am McGroovey: I've actually never heard that Robert Gordon version, somehow, as far as I know. I've listened to Marshall's record a lot.
	11:45am Bob: Was Robert Gordon ever good live? I suppose he must have been. He sucked hard the handful of times i saw him.
	11:46am clarke: when he was with link wray - YES!
	11:46am morphe': Listener B - Re; Outer organs .. my favorite line from the old testament regarding the Hebrews defeating some Heathens somewhere in battle: " ... more than a thousand foreskins fell that day ..."
	11:47am Dano59: would love to hear selections from the late-night archives
	11:47am Mr. Oxford: Interesting. Never knew there was a Robert Gordon version and that it may have received more airplay (possibly due to a chord omission). It is a great Crenshaw song but nevertheless, "Whenever You're On My Mind" blows me away more.
	11:47am Bob: That Humbler bootleg with Danny Gatton is good i remember.
	11:47am clarke: wow! ur insane!
	11:48am Dano59: Laugh at Me! I love this version.
	11:49am Squints: gonna have to catch the rest of this later. my sister and her beau are in town and offered lunch at the lobster hut. have fun, all.
	11:49am Listener Baby: Latino Turtles. I like it!
	11:50am morphe': Sony Bono - "great singer but a very bad skier ... " Ok .. I'll leave ye alone .. must get greenbeanns and corn...
	11:50am SeaCreature: There was a good Robert Gordon with Chris Spedding show maybe ‘87 maybe at the Ritz?
	11:50am prof.fuzz: i was just listening to the live ian hunter record this week...
	11:51am clarke: which one FuZZ?
	11:52am Michael Shelley: seriously - I have 2 extra tix to Jonathan tonight...
	11:53am clarke: MS - let me see if john hammond wants to go.
	11:54am johnk77: great show selecter i have a faded memory of a robert gordon/tommy tutone live show perhaps new jersey in the early 1980s?
	11:55am Listener Baby: Man Baby. I’ll go witchca.
	11:55am clarke: great album!!
	11:56am prof.fuzz: @welcome to the club (from 1980) with mick ronson.
	11:57am Dano59: The Robert Klein Hour with bev Bevan, Robert Gordon and Rachel Sweet interviews is streamable: www.wolfgangs.com...
	11:57am JimB: Heard When We All for the first time when Rex played it and thought that it had to be the most country country song of all time. Seriously, that bass voice will scare little kids.
	11:57am clarke: oh the ronson show - cool!! i thought you might mean Never Alone W/A Schizophrenic
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Morning Onederz of nature !
	11:59am clarke: Bluesology
	12:00pm Hughie Considine: I played those Robert Klein LPs to death. His Watergate bit remains hilarious.
	12:00pm Michael Shelley: clarke - he books the shows there
	12:00pm ledzeppelinsucks: My sitter and her friend were about 15 in 1976 and got into an argument during a K TEL TV commercial about the songs not being original.
	12:01pm Ciggy: Robert Klein - I can't stop my leg
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DarkNight of the Soul DJ Julie plays great early EltonJohn often enuff.
	12:01pm clarke: band name: A Fool & His Money
	12:02pm Dano59: still looking for my copy of 'Come and Get It' tribute album.
	12:02pm Hughie Considine: I think there was one, @Clarke, but they soon parted.
	12:03pm Dano59: they were lucky to get together in the first place, clarke
	12:03pm clarke: ha hah!!
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Badfinger: If we do this like that... SirMacca: If you do it exactly like this it will get to exactly here on the Charts...
	12:05pm Hughie Considine: In Paul's recent memoir, he was weirdly unemotional talking about Badfinger. Just remembered what he told them.
	12:07pm Dano59: As someone with a bad finger, I still think the Iveys is a better name
	12:09pm egould: I don’t want to make the same comment every week, but I must restate that murder is never the solution to your relationship problems.
	12:09pm Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU
	12:09pm clarke: no reply yet on those JR tix -- still waiting... still waiting...
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: But then what is.
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: This is the newsroom...
	12:10pm clarke: i keep gettin' cut off, here!!!
	12:11pm Hughie Considine: As someone with a wet leg, I concur, @Dano59
	12:12pm Listener Baby: Is this the same backing track as the Los super seven version? Me thinks it is.
	12:12pm Bob: If Jonathan would go back to using that great Gretsch guitar there would NEVER be any available tickets. Me thinks.
	12:15pm turtles: It just sounds generically similar to a lot of pop rock from like the early-mid 60s. Not bad tho.
	12:16pm SecretSquirrel: Mighty Wind? Also like a track by the Thamesmen
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...might pair well with LadyGodiva...
	12:17pm clarke: MovieTime folks?
	12:18pm clarke: yes, Rev, was going to say it sounds exactly like Chad & Jeremy
	12:18pm jmd: Whoa, he reeeeeaaaallly stays behind the beat. Cool.
	12:18pm clarke: (those Batman stars!)
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WorldWithoutLove to stick with McCartney...
	12:19pm Frank In Queens: Busy week, clarke! We got three in. Rope, Obsession, and The Comedy Of Terrors.
	12:20pm clarke: Rope - one of the all-time best!! dunno the others, will check.
	12:21pm clarke: gotta git on my soapbox for this flick: Sex Drive. a coming-of-age teen flick that is actually funny as shit, and well-done!!
	12:21pm ze boocherie: Re: The Cuppa T song. One of the familiar aspects of it is the guitar riff is exactly what Frank Zappa derided as ubiquitous in his book: In L.A., it was folk-rock to death. Everything had that fucking D chord down at the bottom of the neck where you wiggle your finger around -- like "Needles and Pins."
	12:22pm clarke: well i have less problem with that than with much of zappa's work
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: Yeah, hadn't seen it ages. Obsession is De Palma. Terrors is an all-star dopey, but endearing, comedy from '63; Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, Joyce Jameson, and Joe E. Brown.
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: ROPE!? I knew it was you...
	12:23pm clarke: i'm a huge VP fan, but this one has evaded me!
	12:23pm drr: I saw a movie I somehow had never seen: Alfred Hitchcock's "Rebecca". Loved it.
	12:23pm KWilde: My favorite Bucky song!
	12:23pm clarke: yes, Dave, but do NOT seek the re-make!!
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: @Michael, aren't we due for another airing of that?
	12:24pm Michael Shelley: OVERdue!
	12:24pm johnk77: commander chapman
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, he's obviously the best thing about the movie. Plays a cantankerous, greedy drunk.
	12:24pm Bob: I’m on a Larry Cohen kick right now, Clarke. I just rewatched Q. It’s a great drive in flick with Michael Moriarty. Saw Salems Lot 2 as well. Interesting schlock that Larry wrote, directed and produced
	12:24pm Ciggy: Rock out Mikey
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: @drr, agreed! One of my faves from Hitch.
	12:25pm clarke: i like the film=noir stuff that Price does - priceless!!
	12:25pm Hughie Considine: Now I wanna hear Chapman's take on "Fade Away and Radiate."
	12:26pm clarke: man, haven't heard Micheal Moriarity in a while!
	12:26pm Frank In Queens: For what it's worth Obsession is sort of a Vertigo/Rebecca hybrid.
	12:26pm egould: Joe E Ross > Joe E Brown. No brow.
	12:26pm johnk77: clem is generally upbeat
	12:26pm jg: What was this blondie?? Like a demo. Where is it released. And why?
	12:27pm drr: I heard the book version of Rebecca was good, so I got it out of the library, couldn't finish one page.
	12:28pm clarke: actually Frank - i think i HAVE seen Obsession!! depalma's hitch phase!!
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: Those two Hollies record are amazing, but aren't they all?
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: Blondie - is producer "singing" during basic tracks, to save Debbie for the real thing, was recently released on new box set
	12:29pm clarke: @DRR - i think Hitch had a talent for finding a not-good book and turning into a great Film.
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Opposite what usually happens. Cred.
	12:30pm phat in lincoln: That cowbell, oddly enough, sounds like him.
	12:30pm clarke: sage!!
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, and he did that buy completely changing the stories!
	12:31pm drr: Apparently the book is much-loved but it's so, so dense with words...and foreboding...like Poe on steroids.
	12:31pm clarke: he knew how to punch up a story!!
	12:32pm clarke: and, at the same time, if you've ever read any of the short story compilations that Hitch (supposedly) "curated" - all those stories are GREAT!!
	12:33pm clarke: and i must note the exception: cornell woolrich's Dial M is fantastic!!
	12:34pm johnk77: per wikipedia hanging on the telephone came to blondie on a cassette from jeffrey lee pierce?;>
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: Drums all alone in the right channel :thumbs up:
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Oh, the bass is there too. :still thumbs up:
	12:36pm clarke: JLP was president of the Blondie Fan Club L.A. Chapter
	12:37pm clarke: and Frank was the Treasurer!!!
	12:37pm drr: "Mildred Pierce" is a good example where both book and movie are terrific, but they have different endings.
	12:38pm Frank In Queens: Wages Of Fear is in the queue.
	12:38pm clarke: this MIGHT be the greatest day of college football EVER, today. there are so many top25 match-ups.!!!
	12:39pm folksnake: WAGES OF FEAR is SO good
	12:39pm drr: Saw Wages of Fear ~3 months back; I forgot the big drive doesn't start till the second hour. Great flick though.
	12:39pm clarke: i'll be tuning into the bama/TN game fer shure. note: DRRL 3pm our time.
	12:39pm Analog Nights: Wages of Fear is one of the best movies of all time. It's about greed and betrayal. Very similar to Treasure of Sierra Madre.
	12:39pm KWilde: Wages Of Fear is great - particularly the ending
	12:40pm Hams: there's the william friedkin remake too, SORCERER. with roy scheider.
	12:40pm johnk77: just learned the movie remake of the rains came the rains of ranchipur changed the ending of the original novel by louis bromfield
	12:40pm phat in lincoln: I've been kind of obsessing about this Redd Kross song lately.
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: yep, with a great Tangerine Dream soundtrack
	12:41pm Eli: Agree about Bruce. The whole concept for this record has a huge "PBS Fund raising" vibe.
	12:41pm Hoboken Jack: Hard disagree -- Bruce does a stellar job on "Nightshift" which I think is a terrific song.
	12:41pm clarke: always like the friedkin/scheider team-up
	12:41pm drr: clarke: I'm still not expecting my Volunteers to beat Saban & Co, since it basically never happens, but a fella can dream.
	12:41pm johnk77: laura branigan loved the work of billy friedkin and used him on a video?
	12:41pm clarke: i think this is going to be a great game (bama starting qb is out)
	12:42pm drr: Don't forget Bruce did a split single with Suicide when considering his indie rock cred.
	12:42pm clarke: let's put it this way: i hate both teams and will be watching!!
	12:43pm drr: clarke: I don't wanna win with an asterisk!
	12:43pm johnk77: i wish colleges paid their players bruce was perhaps the biggest del fuegos fan of all time?
	12:43pm phat in lincoln: @clarke I haven't finished the fuzz, but I did finish this cabinet: https://ibb.co/7yBXwHG
	12:43pm clarke: the back-up qb has his pluses!!
	12:43pm clarke: CHUNE!!!!
	12:43pm Hubig Pie: Nacho's dive into the oil tanker on BCS had me thinking about the swimming scene in Wages of Fear
	12:44pm johnk77: meaning not tallest!
	12:44pm drr: well, Bama is the team that benched Jalen Hurts...
	12:44pm clarke: GOOD scene HP!! howzit, mate??
	12:44pm Hams: ah, that's right, hughie.
	12:45pm phat in lincoln: God I love Big Brown Eyes
	12:45pm clarke: poor Nacho!!
	12:45pm clarke: HITS baby!!
	12:45pm Hubig Pie: Doin awright , clarke. Better than a dip inna lake of crude oil
	12:46pm clarke: whooped 'em again, Josey!!
	12:46pm mazudog: this song awakens so many memories!
	12:46pm phat in lincoln: Good lord I'm glad the Huskers aren't playing in Lincoln tonight. I'm going downtown to see The Chats.
	12:47pm clarke: stay away from downtown, Phat!! don't u listen?
	12:47pm prof.fuzz: @hubig: "lake of crude oil" otherwise known as the gulf of mexico...
	12:48pm clarke: that's crude, mate.
	12:48pm johnk77: both selecter and commenters on fyah well done lads & lassies
	12:48pm phat in lincoln: Lol. Believe me, if The Chats weren't going to be there... Delvón Lamarr Trio were here the other night. Good God they were good.
	12:48pm clarke: also shout out to our pal in Aussie: Eddy!!
	12:49pm drr: this Good To My Baby is too fast and it sounds like it's speeding up. There I said it.
	12:49pm clarke: @Phat - did you ever photograph your Phuzz Pedal??
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe it's MitchMitchell...
	12:51pm TCJimmy: Greg Townson guest DJ on the Drop In program at 6PM EST on the Rock’n’Soul steam. FYI
	12:51pm clarke: i keep gettin' cut off, here, and i don't know why!!
	12:51pm Frank In Queens: @TCJimmy lookin' forward to that!
	12:51pm phat in lincoln: @clarke not finished. I got sidetracked because I realized I really, really needed a new cabinet, so I built one. I need to build a preamp for the amp I'm using, too. That'll be today, I hope.
	12:51pm clarke: will have to double-screen it!!
	12:52pm johnk77: sadly i saw mitch mitchell live late 1970s he was terrible no recall currently the orchestra venue perhaps country club reseda
	12:52pm ledzeppelinsucks: There is no 'EST' in October.
	12:52pm clarke: wow Phat!! kudos!!
	12:54pm clarke: if i get a reply for the Richman tix, i'll email both you guys, MS!!
	12:54pm johnk77: did furman build a preamp?
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: johnk77 - sorry to hear. He seemed to disappear (?) til later showing up to just be there... Wonder what that's about.
	12:55pm radioronan: Thanks Michael! Cheers y'all!
	12:55pm Hughie Considine: Great show, Michael. And the Happy Rocktobah to all.
	12:55pm clarke: worst deal EVER.

	12:56pm johnk77: peace & respect to all nations slava ukraine/ukraina stay safe out there
	12:57pm phat in lincoln: Great show Michael, as usual.
	12:57pm clarke: as usual.

	11:01am ledzeppelinsucks: That 'The Queers' show at Bottom of The Hill last night was top. The Queers should learn how to count, 'one more song' was 5 songs.

	11:02am rx scabin: Good morning.
	11:02am clarke: nice MIS-use of a coaster!!! Hi Bob!!

	11:02am Squints: LSZ, I can get behind that kind of arithmetic.
	11:02am Squints: Missed it by THIS much.
	11:03am Squints: I really like this arrangement by the Cactus Blossoms.
	11:03am clarke: memorex is cool, too. we got more #1's than Shasta had flavored sody-pop!!1
	11:03am Mr. Oxford: Love today's playlist picture. My CD copy of Teenage Fanclub's Grand Prix album is staring at me sitting on my desk.
	11:04am Bob: Is Gerry back in Teenage Fanclub yet? He needs to be.
	11:04am Cooh John: Starting off with the Cactus Blossoms =#1.
	11:04am Frank In Queens: HEY NOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
	11:04am clarke: fred just drives the van. what does daphne do?
	11:05am clarke: mawnin' Frank - sorry bout the team. i know a lot about loss, considering my last weekend!!
	11:05am Squints: If I say Fred, does that make me a bad person?
	11:06am clarke: it makes you a correct person.
	11:06am McGroovey: "Welcome on in": it's a fake-southern thing.
	11:06am Frank In Queens: @clarke, I'm over it already. It's hockey season!
	11:07am Bob: Has anyone seen the Malpass Brothers? I'm seeing them tonight at a cool old theater where I saw Disney movies as a kid. They're sort of Country music if it stopped at 1964. I hear raves about their live act but it's new to me.
	11:07am Todd from RVA: Good morning Michael and team!!! I took your advice and saw Marty Stuart and the Fab Superlatives last eve in Richmond, Va. I had seen them twice before on the Byrds' Sweetheart tour. HOLY SMOKES!!!! Last night's show was insanely good!! You are right, one of the greatest bands in America right now!! Have a GREAT Weekend!!
	11:07am McGroovey: My daughter is going to Disney World with her aunt next month. I've never even been to Florida. I may get though life without ever going to Florida.
	11:08am rx scabin: The half box seems sort of gratuitous.
	11:09am pgalub: Perfect Halloween country song 🎵 💀
	11:09am holland oats: lucky for wynn that song cannot be used as evidence
	11:10am Christina Ginger: Big fan of the friendly murder ballads. They sound so innocent.
	11:10am Listener Baby: Good thing this guy can’t sing.
	11:11am Greg g: whoa , the cozy Saturday morning took a bit of a nefarious turn with that last track! Morning Michael and all !!
	11:11am bonneville73: good morning from Traverse City, MI!

	11:15am Ciggy: I hear guitar strings
	11:15am clarke: dang son - PRIME leaf-peepin'!!! you'll be surprised there is not as much fall color on the cape, because the salt winds make the leaves just go brown, usually.
	11:15am JSG: Jupp me!
	11:15am Pedro in Arlington: What @Todd from RVA says. Finally saw them in Hopewell last night. I think the venue even added something. They don't get shows every night like in the big cities. So the audience was primed for a special occasion. No. 1.
	11:15am JG: me too Roger
	11:15am Listener Baby: Used to see a band that covered this. Can’t remember who?…
	11:15am bonneville73: this sounds awesome! Off to eBay I go again. Thanks Michael.
	11:15am Hughie Considine: Well, this sure does not scream Tony Visconti.
	11:16am ledzeppelinsucks: Today in San Francisco-24th ST BART is between both of these-El Rio, S.F.21+ $10 2:30pm* Grannies, Barfeeders, FLESHIES, Pins Of Light, Fracas, Kicker. @ (Scott Alcoholocaust Birthday Party)____20th Street Block Party, Valencia and 20th St., S.F.a/a free noon til 6pm * Destroy Boys, Hot.Flash Heat.Wave, Seshen, marinero, Ricky Lake, Sour Widows, Juice Bumps, Umbrellas__
	11:16am clarke: @Baby - it might be geraint wilkins?? as mickey jupp used to play in his band, among others.
	11:18am Squints: The pin oaks tend to go straight to brown.
	11:18am Frank In Queens: Mund?
	11:18am Squints: TWO Cactus Blossoms tracks? Oh. Wait. 8^)
	11:19am Hughie Considine: Mickey Jupp certainly couldn't have gotten away with the record cover image for "Juppanese" -- says a lot about sensibilities in the late '70s.
	11:19am Hughie Considine: I mean, these days...
	11:21am phat in lincoln: Preston!
	11:21am phat in lincoln: I know Preston's kid. He's... interesting.
	11:21am Dennis Diken: Hey, Mikey and gang! Love that Everlies track - reminds of a Freddy Blassie quote: “I’m lookin’ for the guy who’s supplyin’ the dimes!”
	11:21am clarke: 'lo Hugh! @Baby - you will see plenty of leaves when you head west to n'hampton.
	11:21am morphe': Led z .. if you are in SF .. my Crazy Uncle Frank lived on Mission and 23rd above the place that rented out Tuxedos... It had a Neon sign that blinked in his window 24/7 .. was a strange place to stay = 1976 ...
	11:21am McGroovey: clarke lives in chitlin country...
	11:22am phat in lincoln: Kool Aid was also invented in Nebraska. Lol.
	11:22am Squints: G.G.Y.
	11:23am Hughie Considine: Greetin's and chitlins, Clarke!
	11:23am morphe': Chitlins are pig intestines = smell horrific when being cleaned or boiled but apparently super tasty ???
	11:24am Listener Baby: Baby. Nikki coming to NYC, December.
	11:25am clarke: nola is not really chitlun country - but, the family is in the area where chitluns were common. never tried them, tho.
	11:25am Frank In Queens: Can't wait for the release of Beyond Chitluns.
	11:25am Greg g: https://youtu.be/mP0flneNfaQ
	11:25am clarke: (my ancestral home, that is)
	11:26am drr: I don't think chitlins ever come within miles of a city. Just an extreme country poverty food, as far as I know.
	11:26am Mr. Oxford: I felt like this was a lost song by the Beach Boys or something. Real good.
	11:26am clarke: agree, DRR -- good mawwwnin!! and it is NIIICE here!!
	11:27am McGroovey: Yeah, time is different in NJ. It takes me two hours to get home from Brooklyn after midnight (10 miles), but an hour to get home from Asbury Park (60 miles). I discovered that when I went to see the Damned. The tickets for Asbury Park were cheaper than for NYC, too.
	11:27am drr: Now cracklins (pork rinds), sure.
	11:27am Squints: This Skeeter jam is allllllllright.
	11:27am clarke: sure, dave!
	11:28am drr: yeah, clarke, doors open and AC off!
	11:28am Baja Joe: Good morning Michael. Anyone going to the J. Richman show in Montclair this evening?
	11:28am rx scabin: I'll see you soon. Have a good day.
	11:28am Michael Shelley: ME!
	11:29am Michael Shelley: ANYBODY WANT FREE TIX TO RICHMAN TONIGHT IN MONTCLAIR?
	11:29am drr: Pork rinds out of a bag are OK, but I had some hot ones straight from the fryer, talk about nauseating. They look like dark scrabble tiles before they go in.
	11:30am ?: Outpost: nice venue, difficult parking
	11:31am clarke: dave, did you go to gretna fest?? apparently Mike Love's Beach Boys played dat.
	11:32am drr: didn't go this year.
	11:32am Dano59: Seeing Jonathan next Saturday! I think only obstinate in his particularity. I've seen him ask for a fan to be turned off in a kitchen 20 feet down a hall from the stage and for a buzzing light overhead to be turned off at an outdoor festival.
	11:34am clarke: Graboff!!
	11:34am MplsCoco: Love Laura!
	11:34am Listener Baby: Man this tune has got legs. Might even be a classic at this point. Never tire of it. Ever.
	11:34am Michael Shelley: There is a new-ish municipal parking lot 100 yards away, but I can walk there
	11:34am Squints: Just conjunto enough. I like this.
	11:35am Dano59: That Skeeter/Goffin-King tune was done nicely by Alex Chilton (even live with TFC) and ... She & Him?
	11:37am McGroovey: Not the Tremblin' is one of my favorite records. And one great thing is that this song isn't actually the best song on the record.
	11:37am Dano59: sorry ... Alex with YLT '07 at Maxwell's, not Teenage Fanclub - ntmk, anyway)
	11:38am clarke: worst deal we've ever had.
	11:39am drr: How many different sets of lyrics does this song ("In the Jailhouse Now") have?
	11:39am clarke: twelve.
	11:39am morphe': Inner Organs (formerly poverty food) are all the Rave in High End restaurants ... Last 10-15 years .. There are super expensive places that only serve inner organs ... "... Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of both beast and fowl..."
	11:40am Squints: Not forty-two?
	11:40am Frank In Queens: 8/10
	11:40am McGroovey: "Inner Organs" ... Band name idea...
	11:41am Dano59: flip side to 'Vietnam'
	11:41am clarke: 9/10
	11:41am Frank In Queens: As opposed to outer organs
	11:41am prof.fuzz: @mcG: especially if it's a literal organ trio
	11:41am clarke: vox and hammond
	11:41am Bob: Prime Leaf Peepin' seems like a good band name. Better than most of what passes for new band names anyway.
	11:41am prof.fuzz: and farfisa
	11:41am drr: "Organic Produce"
	11:42am clarke: FuZZZZZ
	11:42am clarke: wattsup Thrasher!!
	11:42am Listener Baby: Outer organs, amazing band name Frank! Almost as good as my new one I came up with last night. Deer In The Head Lice
	11:42am prof.fuzz: clarkEEEEEE
	11:42am Mr. Oxford: Isn't that a Marshall Crenshaw song? Or am I confusing it with some other song?
	11:42am Dano59: Played one of Gordon's non-Link LPs (this one!) at a party last Saturday. Because rockabilly
	11:43am clarke: u got it ox.
	11:43am Hughie Considine: Oh, that's good, @LB.
	11:43am Squints: Vox and Hammond would great names for dogs.
	11:43am McGroovey: @Mr. Oxford. Yes, it is
	11:43am Cooh John: Is there a Marshall Crenshaw connection to this?
	11:43am prof.fuzz: @baby: that's a good one!
	11:44am clarke: @Squints - also archimedes
	11:44am Hughie Considine: It's Marshall's song
	11:45am Ciggy: Robert Gordon at The Limelight circa '95
	11:45am Dano59: Better Robert than Shakin' Stevens, I say
	11:45am Hughie Considine: I do recall hearing the Gordon version a bunch. You'd hear him on WPIX.
	11:45am McGroovey: I've actually never heard that Robert Gordon version, somehow, as far as I know. I've listened to Marshall's record a lot.
	11:45am Bob: Was Robert Gordon ever good live? I suppose he must have been. He sucked hard the handful of times i saw him.
	11:46am clarke: when he was with link wray - YES!
	11:46am morphe': Listener B - Re; Outer organs .. my favorite line from the old testament regarding the Hebrews defeating some Heathens somewhere in battle: " ... more than a thousand foreskins fell that day ..."
	11:47am Dano59: would love to hear selections from the late-night archives
	11:47am Mr. Oxford: Interesting. Never knew there was a Robert Gordon version and that it may have received more airplay (possibly due to a chord omission). It is a great Crenshaw song but nevertheless, "Whenever You're On My Mind" blows me away more.
	11:47am Bob: That Humbler bootleg with Danny Gatton is good i remember.
	11:47am clarke: wow! ur insane!
	11:48am Dano59: Laugh at Me! I love this version.
	11:49am Squints: gonna have to catch the rest of this later. my sister and her beau are in town and offered lunch at the lobster hut. have fun, all.
	11:49am Listener Baby: Latino Turtles. I like it!
	11:50am morphe': Sony Bono - "great singer but a very bad skier ... " Ok .. I'll leave ye alone .. must get greenbeanns and corn...
	11:50am SeaCreature: There was a good Robert Gordon with Chris Spedding show maybe ‘87 maybe at the Ritz?
	11:50am prof.fuzz: i was just listening to the live ian hunter record this week...
	11:51am clarke: which one FuZZ?
	11:52am Michael Shelley: seriously - I have 2 extra tix to Jonathan tonight...
	11:53am clarke: MS - let me see if john hammond wants to go.
	11:54am johnk77: great show selecter i have a faded memory of a robert gordon/tommy tutone live show perhaps new jersey in the early 1980s?
	11:55am Listener Baby: Man Baby. I’ll go witchca.
	11:55am clarke: great album!!
	11:56am prof.fuzz: @welcome to the club (from 1980) with mick ronson.
	11:57am Dano59: The Robert Klein Hour with bev Bevan, Robert Gordon and Rachel Sweet interviews is streamable: www.wolfgangs.com...
	11:57am JimB: Heard When We All for the first time when Rex played it and thought that it had to be the most country country song of all time. Seriously, that bass voice will scare little kids.
	11:57am clarke: oh the ronson show - cool!! i thought you might mean Never Alone W/A Schizophrenic
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Morning Onederz of nature !
	11:59am clarke: Bluesology
	12:00pm Hughie Considine: I played those Robert Klein LPs to death. His Watergate bit remains hilarious.
	12:00pm Michael Shelley: clarke - he books the shows there
	12:00pm ledzeppelinsucks: My sitter and her friend were about 15 in 1976 and got into an argument during a K TEL TV commercial about the songs not being original.
	12:01pm Ciggy: Robert Klein - I can't stop my leg
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DarkNight of the Soul DJ Julie plays great early EltonJohn often enuff.
	12:01pm clarke: band name: A Fool & His Money
	12:02pm Dano59: still looking for my copy of 'Come and Get It' tribute album.
	12:02pm Hughie Considine: I think there was one, @Clarke, but they soon parted.
	12:03pm Dano59: they were lucky to get together in the first place, clarke
	12:03pm clarke: ha hah!!
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Badfinger: If we do this like that... SirMacca: If you do it exactly like this it will get to exactly here on the Charts...
	12:05pm Hughie Considine: In Paul's recent memoir, he was weirdly unemotional talking about Badfinger. Just remembered what he told them.
	12:07pm Dano59: As someone with a bad finger, I still think the Iveys is a better name
	12:09pm egould: I don’t want to make the same comment every week, but I must restate that murder is never the solution to your relationship problems.
	12:09pm Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU
	12:09pm clarke: no reply yet on those JR tix -- still waiting... still waiting...
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: But then what is.
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: This is the newsroom...
	12:10pm clarke: i keep gettin' cut off, here!!!
	12:11pm Hughie Considine: As someone with a wet leg, I concur, @Dano59
	12:12pm Listener Baby: Is this the same backing track as the Los super seven version? Me thinks it is.
	12:12pm Bob: If Jonathan would go back to using that great Gretsch guitar there would NEVER be any available tickets. Me thinks.
	12:15pm turtles: It just sounds generically similar to a lot of pop rock from like the early-mid 60s. Not bad tho.
	12:16pm SecretSquirrel: Mighty Wind? Also like a track by the Thamesmen
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...might pair well with LadyGodiva...
	12:17pm clarke: MovieTime folks?
	12:18pm clarke: yes, Rev, was going to say it sounds exactly like Chad & Jeremy
	12:18pm jmd: Whoa, he reeeeeaaaallly stays behind the beat. Cool.
	12:18pm clarke: (those Batman stars!)
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WorldWithoutLove to stick with McCartney...
	12:19pm Frank In Queens: Busy week, clarke! We got three in. Rope, Obsession, and The Comedy Of Terrors.
	12:20pm clarke: Rope - one of the all-time best!! dunno the others, will check.
	12:21pm clarke: gotta git on my soapbox for this flick: Sex Drive. a coming-of-age teen flick that is actually funny as shit, and well-done!!
	12:21pm ze boocherie: Re: The Cuppa T song. One of the familiar aspects of it is the guitar riff is exactly what Frank Zappa derided as ubiquitous in his book: In L.A., it was folk-rock to death. Everything had that fucking D chord down at the bottom of the neck where you wiggle your finger around -- like "Needles and Pins."
	12:22pm clarke: well i have less problem with that than with much of zappa's work
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: Yeah, hadn't seen it ages. Obsession is De Palma. Terrors is an all-star dopey, but endearing, comedy from '63; Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, Joyce Jameson, and Joe E. Brown.
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: ROPE!? I knew it was you...
	12:23pm clarke: i'm a huge VP fan, but this one has evaded me!
	12:23pm drr: I saw a movie I somehow had never seen: Alfred Hitchcock's "Rebecca". Loved it.
	12:23pm KWilde: My favorite Bucky song!
	12:23pm clarke: yes, Dave, but do NOT seek the re-make!!
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: @Michael, aren't we due for another airing of that?
	12:24pm Michael Shelley: OVERdue!
	12:24pm johnk77: commander chapman
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, he's obviously the best thing about the movie. Plays a cantankerous, greedy drunk.
	12:24pm Bob: I’m on a Larry Cohen kick right now, Clarke. I just rewatched Q. It’s a great drive in flick with Michael Moriarty. Saw Salems Lot 2 as well. Interesting schlock that Larry wrote, directed and produced
	12:24pm Ciggy: Rock out Mikey
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: @drr, agreed! One of my faves from Hitch.
	12:25pm clarke: i like the film=noir stuff that Price does - priceless!!
	12:25pm Hughie Considine: Now I wanna hear Chapman's take on "Fade Away and Radiate."
	12:26pm clarke: man, haven't heard Micheal Moriarity in a while!
	12:26pm Frank In Queens: For what it's worth Obsession is sort of a Vertigo/Rebecca hybrid.
	12:26pm egould: Joe E Ross > Joe E Brown. No brow.
	12:26pm johnk77: clem is generally upbeat
	12:26pm jg: What was this blondie?? Like a demo. Where is it released. And why?
	12:27pm drr: I heard the book version of Rebecca was good, so I got it out of the library, couldn't finish one page.
	12:28pm clarke: actually Frank - i think i HAVE seen Obsession!! depalma's hitch phase!!
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: Those two Hollies record are amazing, but aren't they all?
	12:28pm Michael Shelley: Blondie - is producer "singing" during basic tracks, to save Debbie for the real thing, was recently released on new box set
	12:29pm clarke: @DRR - i think Hitch had a talent for finding a not-good book and turning into a great Film.
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Opposite what usually happens. Cred.
	12:30pm phat in lincoln: That cowbell, oddly enough, sounds like him.
	12:30pm clarke: sage!!
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, and he did that buy completely changing the stories!
	12:31pm drr: Apparently the book is much-loved but it's so, so dense with words...and foreboding...like Poe on steroids.
	12:31pm clarke: he knew how to punch up a story!!
	12:32pm clarke: and, at the same time, if you've ever read any of the short story compilations that Hitch (supposedly) "curated" - all those stories are GREAT!!
	12:33pm clarke: and i must note the exception: cornell woolrich's Dial M is fantastic!!
	12:34pm johnk77: per wikipedia hanging on the telephone came to blondie on a cassette from jeffrey lee pierce?;>
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: Drums all alone in the right channel :thumbs up:
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Oh, the bass is there too. :still thumbs up:
	12:36pm clarke: JLP was president of the Blondie Fan Club L.A. Chapter
	12:37pm clarke: and Frank was the Treasurer!!!
	12:37pm drr: "Mildred Pierce" is a good example where both book and movie are terrific, but they have different endings.
	12:38pm Frank In Queens: Wages Of Fear is in the queue.
	12:38pm clarke: this MIGHT be the greatest day of college football EVER, today. there are so many top25 match-ups.!!!
	12:39pm folksnake: WAGES OF FEAR is SO good
	12:39pm drr: Saw Wages of Fear ~3 months back; I forgot the big drive doesn't start till the second hour. Great flick though.
	12:39pm clarke: i'll be tuning into the bama/TN game fer shure. note: DRRL 3pm our time.
	12:39pm Analog Nights: Wages of Fear is one of the best movies of all time. It's about greed and betrayal. Very similar to Treasure of Sierra Madre.
	12:39pm KWilde: Wages Of Fear is great - particularly the ending
