	11:13pm Mike Rogers: "Violent Hippies"??? What a great name for a punk band!

	11:16pm MHLee: ↳ Mike Rogers @11:14 The name does not betray the violence beneath

	11:20pm MHLee: ↳ Mike Rogers @11:19 I'm sure they already got that from their mothers
	11:21pm Mike Rogers: Well, almsot all the stupid punks wound up like their parents anyway.

	11:26pm MHLee: Occupy wallstreet kids became crypto scammers
	11:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ MHLee @11:24 I don't even really know what a millenial is...
	11:29pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mike Rogers @11:21 Well, I’m basically a suburban dad now, so there ya go.
	11:30pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @11:29 Ha! Ha! Ha! Well, I supect you know how to spell "Aggression."

	11:34pm Mr Fab: Funny thing is, I had long hair when I was a punk. I was the Joey Ramone type. NOW it’s short.
	11:34pm Mike Rogers: One time, long ago, I went to interview a guy from the punk band "Agression" (sic) They sang about being smart and using your brain, blah, blah... I asked him why they spelled "Aggression" incorrectly. He started arguing with me and said, it is spelled, "Agression!" I told them it wasn't and they continued to argue with me (it was just a question fer chrissakes!) Finally they looked it up and found that the word was spelled wrong on all their records. They had a "Spinal Tap Stonehedge!" moment then... I quietly left the interview before they beat me up.
	11:35pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Scarborough Fair / Canticle" by "All in One" Just listened to the Simon and Garfunkel version of this one Thurday
	11:36pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @11:34 Back in the day, Mr. Fab, I think it was impossible to have one's hair short enough.
	11:36pm MHLee: ↳ Mike Rogers @11:34 How many stories of your end with "I left before I got beat up/"
	11:37pm Mike Rogers: ↳ MHLee @11:36 Oh, I got lots of those MH Lee san!... By the way, I never got beat up!
	11:39pm Mike Rogers: I follow the Keith Richards saying, "I'm gonna walk before they make me run!"
	11:42pm Mike Rogers: This music reminds me of being a kid again.... Babysitters would come overand play records like this...
	11:44pm MHLee: My parents actually don't own much in this vein. Fairport Convention, Renaissance etc... seem to have been skipped
	11:45pm Julie: Hey MHLee thanks for covering for me tonight, looks like a great show can't wait to listen!
	11:45pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Waves and Caves" by "Comus" the forgotten second comus album

Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from January 15, 2023

View MHLee's profile

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Friday 8 - 9am (EST) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room
