	2:25pm WLSClark: Bri, Del had a cool 45 or two on Dunhill 1970 and I am pretty sure recorded at the Robbs' recording studio in Milwaukee, I THINK. Memory.....
	2:25pm Dennis Diken: @gene sculatti - hey, friend! back "live" on Atomic Cocktail, yes?
	2:26pm ModnikBri: Awesome Clark!
	2:26pm Dennis Diken: @MICHAEL SHELLEY @WLSClark - now we can party!
	2:27pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Really nice track from David Jo...reminds of "Donna" from the first LP. Speaking of which....please tell Donna I say hello!
	2:28pm gene sculatti: Yes, Dennis; was live 12/1` and 12/8, but next live shows are 1/5 and /12 (first Thursdays of each month).
	2:29pm Dennis Diken: @Todd-o-phonic Todd - "done deal"
	2:29pm WLSClark: This LP is so good!
	2:29pm ModnikBri: I love Marshall!
	2:29pm ModnikBri: Home boy from ROYAL OAK!!
	2:30pm Dennis Diken: @lindac -"back atcha!"
	2:31pm Dennis Diken: @gene sculatti - "news we can use"!
	2:31pm WLSClark: Cool, Bri. A proud thing FER SURE!!
	2:31pm Jon Graboff: Heh. Marshall looks like he was 12 years old when he cut thing rekkid!
	2:31pm Dennis Diken: @ ModnikBri - yeah, man! Field Day is my fave MC LP
	2:31pm ModnikBri: Exactly Clark! :)
	2:32pm Andrew in Toronto: Hiya Clark!
	2:33pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - methinks MC was at least 15 at the tyime!
	2:34pm WLSClark: Im selling a couple of cool Marshall Crenshaw 12" singles on my next sale list. Just no room anymore for LP size stuff. Im a 45 guy and keeping his 45s!
	2:34pm ModnikBri: I kept hearing this as “Hey My Santa”
	2:34pm lindac: Hi to you too, Todd!
	2:34pm ModnikBri: Cool Clarke!
	2:35pm Dennis Diken: @ModnikBri - maybe they coulda retooled it for a Christmas tune!
	2:36pm ModnikBri: Exactly!
	2:36pm ModnikBri: 5 packs a day? I’m luck if I smoke one cig a week!
	2:38pm Dennis Diken: @ModnikBri - I'm rather fond of candy cigarettes!
	2:39pm ModnikBri: True! I used to pretend those vanilla wafers were cigarettes
	2:41pm WLSClark: Just like cops n robbers or cowboys & indians, candy cigs were a part of youth in 60's and no one made a big deal about it.
	2:42pm WLSClark: BUCKINGHAMS!!!!!
	2:42pm Dennis Diken: @ModnikBri - then there were those chocolate cigs with the paper wrappers (or whatever you call them). man, I love those...
	2:43pm WLSClark: James Guercio getting his slice of the writing pie of their 45s often.
	2:43pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - yeah, didn't you mention them the other week? big fave here!
	2:44pm ModnikBri: I know Candy cigs. I saw them in a vintage store once, and in a music video
	2:44pm ModnikBri: GOLDEN BROWN! I was listening to this on tape yesterday
	2:44pm WLSClark: Dennis, anytime it's a Chicago 60's artist, my mouth just rambles, so likely.
	2:46pm Dennis Diken: @ModnikBri - great ears think alike! (or...hear alike?)
	2:46pm Gerry from Miami: Sorry, DENNY! Was on a long phone call with my sister and was just now able to tune in to your show. I see I missed a bunch of gems that I will have to pick up in the Archives. Before my phone call, I caught a portion of your interview with Evan "Funk" Davies. Best of luck with the "new" Smithereens album. Now, on with the show!
	2:46pm ModnikBri: Exactly Denny! :)
	2:47pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - happy to see you here!
	2:48pm MOM WHIG: GERRY - HI THERE
	2:49pm WLSClark: Stripper for blues bars.
	2:50pm Gerry from Miami: Hey MOM WHIG! And woo too!
	2:51pm WLSClark: Hi Gerry and Woo!
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: Hello to you, WLSClark!
	2:52pm Jon Graboff: Yeah… bedda!
	2:53pm WLSClark: Dennis, so let it out and let it in, already!
	2:55pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - I'm tryin'!
	3:00pm MOM WHIG: WOO WILL BE BACK LATER - HAS WORK MEETING
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - thanks for layin' this Buddy/Ella Johnson CD on me!
	3:02pm Jon Graboff: Buddy Johnson was Mose Allison's fav as he was coming up. And Ella Johnson's version of Since I Feel For You is the best and every cheesy lounge singer should listen and learn from it!
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - more news we can use!
	3:05pm Yod Crewsy: Hi DD! Hello to everyone else! Greetings from the middle of the Adirondacks!
	3:05pm WLSClark: Hi Yod! I love those VJ DJ copies
	3:06pm Dennis Diken: @Yod Crewsy - hey now! where in the Adirondacks are you?
	3:06pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - no argument here!
	3:06pm Woo: I'm back. I missed Our Town by Marshall Crenshaw. I love that song. Hey Clark, Yod, Gerry....
	3:07pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - agreed, fine tune, that...
	3:10pm WLSClark: B of Dont Hang Up, I think. Had the 45 when young!
	3:11pm myron feld: I love "The Conservative." Such an odd, sweet song.
	3:11pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - me too - got it for Christmas of '62! THE ORLONS FWIGGIN' RULE! (yes, b-side of "DHU")
	3:12pm MOM WHIG: Yod - Good to see you
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - "YEAH!"
	3:14pm WLSClark: Dennis, I think Cameo ruled our pre-Beatles days!
	3:15pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - agreed - along with Vee-Jay!
	3:17pm WLSClark: How ironic that Allan Klein would get reigns of Cameo and Beatles both eventually.
	3:20pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - Klein was an alumnus of Upsala College in East Orange, NJ - from whence WFMU came!
	3:20pm WLSClark: Their first and for my money, their BEST!
	3:21pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - again...no argument here!
	3:24pm WLSClark: Makes me wonder if producer Winston Riley who wrote "Double Barrel" gets any money for the first second of that great single being used at the very end of every Arby's commercial on TV?
	3:25pm Yod Crewsy: DD - I'm in beautiful Long Lake, NY!! (14 miles long..) Hi Mom!! Hi Woo!
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - hope so!
	3:25pm WLSClark: Dennis as to Klein's NJ story, I dont know if FMU should be proud or embarrassed!
	3:26pm Dennis Diken: @Yod Crewsy - is that anywhere near Gore Mt? I know that area a bit...
	3:27pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - good point, that!
	3:28pm WLSClark: Great sound ala Groove Holmes 60's. Groove's "Misty" is likely my alltime fave jazz 45.
	3:29pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - will check it out!
	3:32pm Yod Crewsy: Dennis- I am 45 minutes further north from Gore Mtn. Can I assume you're a skier? I've skied Gore many times...!!
	3:32pm WLSClark: So many meanings for old words today don't seem anything like their 60's meanings, it seems to me. Usually, we cant even use them easily anymore without offending people. Geez.
	3:33pm WLSClark: Michael Shelly played the BB's great "Its About Time" on his FMU show Saturday. Loved hearing it again.
	3:34pm Dennis Diken: @Yod Crewsy - no skiing here, but some friends of mine are and live in that neck of...er...the "woods"!
	3:35pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - Michael Shelley - "King Of Men"!
	3:39pm WLSClark: Very pretty tune.
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - yes it is - the best song (IMHO) on what is a rather "quirky" LP
	3:41pm Yod Crewsy: DD - North Creek is the town there..I play open mics there quite a bit...even played a Smithereens tune there the other day..!
	3:42pm Michael Shelley: COMMERCIAL MESSAGE - if you're not hip to DENNIS' (with DA THE DJ) and Jon Graboff's Christmas lps - check 'em out: confidentialchristmas.bandcamp.com
	3:42pm Dennis Diken: @Yod Crewsy - ha! where, Becks? Barking Spider?
	3:43pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Shelley - I second that emotion!
	3:45pm WLSClark: So unfair that FMU DJs cant play theirown stuff on their shows. SO much talent!
	3:45pm Jon Graboff: I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Shelley's recommendaaaashun!
	3:45pm myron feld: @Michael Shelley: I own both of those AND the Kustard Kings' "A Kustard Kristmas" -- all klassics! Strongly recommended.
	3:48pm WLSClark: Often back then, AM stations cut this off at the break. So unfair!
	3:49pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - not to worry today!
	3:51pm MOM WHIG: DD - SUPER FUN today - thanks!
	3:51pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - THANKS!
	3:52pm lindac: Fun times, thank you Dennis!
	3:53pm Woo: Thank you very much Dennis!
	3:53pm WLSClark: Awesome goodies, Dennis!
	3:53pm Jon Graboff: Thanks DD! Maybe next week we can hear Coldest Night of the Year? I'll keep my fingers AND eyes crossed!
	3:53pm Gerry from Miami: Great as always, DENNY! Hope to catch you next week!
	3:53pm Frank Zaatar: Was that Glen Campbell playing lead on those "country" Monkees records?
	3:53pm Dennis Diken: @lindac - no...thanks to you!
	3:54pm myron feld: Thanks, Dennis, for another exemplary episode!
	3:55pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a great show Dennis!
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - at your service! @Jon Graboff - yours too! @Gerry from Miami - yours as well! @myron feld - ah, forget it...
	3:55pm MOM WHIG: See you all later today
	3:56pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark @Andrew in Toronto @MOM WHIG - party on!
	3:56pm WLSClark: Bye MAW!!
	3:56pm LesleyK: Thanks Dennis!!! Can't chat much these days due to work but enjoyed it!!!
	3:56pm Dennis Diken: @Frank Zaatar - I believe it was James Burton?
	3:57pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - understood! thanks for listening and tuning in!
	3:57pm Frank Zaatar: Thanks, Dennis--great show and great interview over on the mother ship. Can't wait for the Lost Album LP!
	3:58pm Dennis Diken: "THANKS 'YON DENIZENS' FOR MAKIN' THE SCENE IN TODAY'S 'DENNY'S DEN'! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY - SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!"
	3:59pm Dennis Diken: @Frank Zaatar - much obliged!

	2:33pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - methinks MC was at least 15 at the tyime!
	2:34pm WLSClark: Im selling a couple of cool Marshall Crenshaw 12" singles on my next sale list. Just no room anymore for LP size stuff. Im a 45 guy and keeping his 45s!
	2:34pm ModnikBri: I kept hearing this as “Hey My Santa”
	2:34pm lindac: Hi to you too, Todd!
	2:34pm ModnikBri: Cool Clarke!
	2:35pm Dennis Diken: @ModnikBri - maybe they coulda retooled it for a Christmas tune!
	2:36pm ModnikBri: Exactly!
	2:36pm ModnikBri: 5 packs a day? I’m luck if I smoke one cig a week!
	2:38pm Dennis Diken: @ModnikBri - I'm rather fond of candy cigarettes!
	2:39pm ModnikBri: True! I used to pretend those vanilla wafers were cigarettes
	2:41pm WLSClark: Just like cops n robbers or cowboys & indians, candy cigs were a part of youth in 60's and no one made a big deal about it.
	2:42pm WLSClark: BUCKINGHAMS!!!!!
	2:42pm Dennis Diken: @ModnikBri - then there were those chocolate cigs with the paper wrappers (or whatever you call them). man, I love those...
	2:43pm WLSClark: James Guercio getting his slice of the writing pie of their 45s often.
	2:43pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - yeah, didn't you mention them the other week? big fave here!
	2:44pm ModnikBri: I know Candy cigs. I saw them in a vintage store once, and in a music video
	2:44pm ModnikBri: GOLDEN BROWN! I was listening to this on tape yesterday
	2:44pm WLSClark: Dennis, anytime it's a Chicago 60's artist, my mouth just rambles, so likely.
	2:46pm Dennis Diken: @ModnikBri - great ears think alike! (or...hear alike?)
	2:46pm Gerry from Miami: Sorry, DENNY! Was on a long phone call with my sister and was just now able to tune in to your show. I see I missed a bunch of gems that I will have to pick up in the Archives. Before my phone call, I caught a portion of your interview with Evan "Funk" Davies. Best of luck with the "new" Smithereens album. Now, on with the show!
	2:46pm ModnikBri: Exactly Denny! :)
	2:47pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - happy to see you here!
	2:48pm MOM WHIG: GERRY - HI THERE
	2:49pm WLSClark: Stripper for blues bars.
	2:50pm Gerry from Miami: Hey MOM WHIG! And woo too!
	2:51pm WLSClark: Hi Gerry and Woo!
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: Hello to you, WLSClark!
	2:52pm Jon Graboff: Yeah… bedda!
	2:53pm WLSClark: Dennis, so let it out and let it in, already!
	2:55pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - I'm tryin'!
	3:00pm MOM WHIG: WOO WILL BE BACK LATER - HAS WORK MEETING
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - thanks for layin' this Buddy/Ella Johnson CD on me!
	3:02pm Jon Graboff: Buddy Johnson was Mose Allison's fav as he was coming up. And Ella Johnson's version of Since I Feel For You is the best and every cheesy lounge singer should listen and learn from it!
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - more news we can use!
	3:05pm Yod Crewsy: Hi DD! Hello to everyone else! Greetings from the middle of the Adirondacks!
	3:05pm WLSClark: Hi Yod! I love those VJ DJ copies
	3:06pm Dennis Diken: @Yod Crewsy - hey now! where in the Adirondacks are you?
	3:06pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - no argument here!
	3:06pm Woo: I'm back. I missed Our Town by Marshall Crenshaw. I love that song. Hey Clark, Yod, Gerry....
	3:07pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - agreed, fine tune, that...
	3:10pm WLSClark: B of Dont Hang Up, I think. Had the 45 when young!
	3:11pm myron feld: I love "The Conservative." Such an odd, sweet song.
	3:11pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - me too - got it for Christmas of '62! THE ORLONS FWIGGIN' RULE! (yes, b-side of "DHU")
	3:12pm MOM WHIG: Yod - Good to see you
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - "YEAH!"
	3:14pm WLSClark: Dennis, I think Cameo ruled our pre-Beatles days!
	3:15pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - agreed - along with Vee-Jay!
	3:17pm WLSClark: How ironic that Allan Klein would get reigns of Cameo and Beatles both eventually.
	3:20pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - Klein was an alumnus of Upsala College in East Orange, NJ - from whence WFMU came!
	3:20pm WLSClark: Their first and for my money, their BEST!
	3:21pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - again...no argument here!
	3:24pm WLSClark: Makes me wonder if producer Winston Riley who wrote "Double Barrel" gets any money for the first second of that great single being used at the very end of every Arby's commercial on TV?
	3:25pm Yod Crewsy: DD - I'm in beautiful Long Lake, NY!! (14 miles long..) Hi Mom!! Hi Woo!
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - hope so!
	3:25pm WLSClark: Dennis as to Klein's NJ story, I dont know if FMU should be proud or embarrassed!
	3:26pm Dennis Diken: @Yod Crewsy - is that anywhere near Gore Mt? I know that area a bit...
	3:27pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - good point, that!
	3:28pm WLSClark: Great sound ala Groove Holmes 60's. Groove's "Misty" is likely my alltime fave jazz 45.
	3:29pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - will check it out!
	3:32pm Yod Crewsy: Dennis- I am 45 minutes further north from Gore Mtn. Can I assume you're a skier? I've skied Gore many times...!!
	3:32pm WLSClark: So many meanings for old words today don't seem anything like their 60's meanings, it seems to me. Usually, we cant even use them easily anymore without offending people. Geez.
	3:33pm WLSClark: Michael Shelly played the BB's great "Its About Time" on his FMU show Saturday. Loved hearing it again.
	3:34pm Dennis Diken: @Yod Crewsy - no skiing here, but some friends of mine are and live in that neck of...er...the "woods"!
	3:35pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - Michael Shelley - "King Of Men"!
	3:39pm WLSClark: Very pretty tune.
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - yes it is - the best song (IMHO) on what is a rather "quirky" LP
	3:41pm Yod Crewsy: DD - North Creek is the town there..I play open mics there quite a bit...even played a Smithereens tune there the other day..!
	3:42pm Michael Shelley: COMMERCIAL MESSAGE - if you're not hip to DENNIS' (with DA THE DJ) and Jon Graboff's Christmas lps - check 'em out: confidentialchristmas.bandcamp.com
	3:42pm Dennis Diken: @Yod Crewsy - ha! where, Becks? Barking Spider?
	3:43pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Shelley - I second that emotion!
	3:45pm WLSClark: So unfair that FMU DJs cant play theirown stuff on their shows. SO much talent!
	3:45pm Jon Graboff: I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Shelley's recommendaaaashun!
	3:45pm myron feld: @Michael Shelley: I own both of those AND the Kustard Kings' "A Kustard Kristmas" -- all klassics! Strongly recommended.
	3:48pm WLSClark: Often back then, AM stations cut this off at the break. So unfair!
	3:49pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - not to worry today!
	3:51pm MOM WHIG: DD - SUPER FUN today - thanks!
	3:51pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - THANKS!
	3:52pm lindac: Fun times, thank you Dennis!
	3:53pm Woo: Thank you very much Dennis!
	3:53pm WLSClark: Awesome goodies, Dennis!
	3:53pm Jon Graboff: Thanks DD! Maybe next week we can hear Coldest Night of the Year? I'll keep my fingers AND eyes crossed!
	3:53pm Gerry from Miami: Great as always, DENNY! Hope to catch you next week!
	3:53pm Frank Zaatar: Was that Glen Campbell playing lead on those "country" Monkees records?
	3:53pm Dennis Diken: @lindac - no...thanks to you!
	3:54pm myron feld: Thanks, Dennis, for another exemplary episode!
	3:55pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a great show Dennis!
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - at your service! @Jon Graboff - yours too! @Gerry from Miami - yours as well! @myron feld - ah, forget it...
	3:55pm MOM WHIG: See you all later today
	3:56pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark @Andrew in Toronto @MOM WHIG - party on!
	3:56pm WLSClark: Bye MAW!!
	3:56pm LesleyK: Thanks Dennis!!! Can't chat much these days due to work but enjoyed it!!!
	3:56pm Dennis Diken: @Frank Zaatar - I believe it was James Burton?
	3:57pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - understood! thanks for listening and tuning in!
	3:57pm Frank Zaatar: Thanks, Dennis--great show and great interview over on the mother ship. Can't wait for the Lost Album LP!
	3:58pm Dennis Diken: "THANKS 'YON DENIZENS' FOR MAKIN' THE SCENE IN TODAY'S 'DENNY'S DEN'! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY - SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!"
	3:59pm Dennis Diken: @Frank Zaatar - much obliged!
