	11:50am Ramona: ↳ Barbie @11:44 The Knock Down center website says there is plenty of street parking in the neighborhood. I'm guessing that's not the case?

	12:27pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Sweet Talkin Woman" by "ELO" One of my ABSOLUTELY favorite bands of all time!!
	12:27pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Sweet Talkin Woman" by "ELO" I wish the sound on A New World Record was as punchy as on Out Of The Blue.
	12:27pm rx "rexy" scabin: @McGroovey I am not. Too many unfond memories. They used to put on a very good show, forty-five years ago. Make sure you pogo upfront for the full effect.

	12:28pm PatrickMC: ↳ Squints @12:27 1st LP I ever bought
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:28 ah. the clouds have parted.

	12:30pm McGroovey: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:27 Oh, I bet most of the audience will be over 55, so I'm not too worried. But I hear Abilene is a small place, so I hope that's not annoying. Never been there before.
	12:30pm ?: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockdown_Center “Named the Manhattan Door Factory, this company invented the "knock-down frame," a kind of door which allows contractors to build walls first and then install doors later.”
	12:31pm ?: It is named for the Knock-Down door frame that was invented here in 1956 by Samuel Sklar and remains an industry standard to this day. The frame could be shipped in pieces — or “knocked down” — and installed into existing walls, revolutionizing the speed and efficiency of building construction.

I just got a copy of "Time" and I can't believe I haven't even heard these songs! Would be worth it just for "Yours Truly, 2095".
	12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:32 Oh wait, this was an A-side, wasn't it? I didn't recognize it until the chorus.

	1:00pm McGroovey: ↳ dday @12:54 My copy of A Wizard/A True Star (bought used in the early eighties, when it was impossible to find new) had a skip right at the beginning of Rock'N'Roll Pussy, and I didn't know it was a skip. I just thought it was one of Todd's not-infrequent sloppy edits. Then, one day, like 5 years later, I played it and there was a pop, and suddenly 20 seconds of music I'd never heard before. With each subsequent play, the pop got quieter.
	1:02pm dday: ↳ McGroovey @1:00 I sold my vinyl a few years back to Spike Priggen. I had a copy of AWATS, in great shape, original die cut cover, & Patti Smith "Star" band-aid poem included
	1:04pm McGroovey: ↳ dday @1:02 My copy is missing the Patti Smith strip :-(
	1:04pm clarke: the chat is still on... what gives?? ..why i oughtta...
	1:05pm dday: ↳ McGroovey @1:04 Only thing missing was the return postcard which i sent in so my name resides somewhere amoung thousands on the Todd poster included in the Todd double P that followed AWATS
	1:06pm clarke: ↳ dday @1:05 that would be Between The Bars??
	1:07pm clarke: put a candle in the window.. THERE'S AN ECLIPSE!!
	1:09pm clarke: a total eclipse of the MIND!!
	1:09pm dday: ↳ clarke @1:06 No. The postcard thing was in AWATS & the poster was included in the Todd "Todd" LP that had a photo one side with some lyrics & a gray scale type image of the Todd cover photo made up of all the names from the returned postcards on the other. Spike got that as well but the I had cut out the photo side for a project. I was maybe 14 at the time
	1:10pm clarke: ↳ dday @1:09 ahhh Todd. right.
	1:12pm clarke: ↳ dday @1:09 was/am pals with spike.
	1:13pm dday: Link to the poster sides in question: https://www.pinterest.jp/pin/55028426685941546/
	1:15pm dday: ↳ clarke @1:12 Sold my collection to him after my heart attack in 2017. fair price. I think they reside in his "outlet" location. An antiques store in Coxscakie,NY
	1:16pm clarke: ↳ dday @1:15 yipes on the heart troubles!! glad yer here - with records or without!
	1:17pm dday: ↳ clarke @1:16 Thanks :)

	12:30pm ?: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockdown_Center “Named the Manhattan Door Factory, this company invented the "knock-down frame," a kind of door which allows contractors to build walls first and then install doors later.”
	12:31pm ?: It is named for the Knock-Down door frame that was invented here in 1956 by Samuel Sklar and remains an industry standard to this day. The frame could be shipped in pieces — or “knocked down” — and installed into existing walls, revolutionizing the speed and efficiency of building construction.

	12:57pm clarke: ↳ dday @12:56 sometimes, my kick drum would make the records skip, too.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Way (You Touch My Hand)" by "Revelons, The" THIS!!!!!
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The Way (You Touch My Hand)" by "Revelons, The" First heard the cover of this by the Nomads on Bill Kelly's Sunday afternoon show full of "mindless teenage brain rot" -- and it was good.
	12:58pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good bye, Michael and Everyone. I am off to meet with a contractor. The phrase "good money after bad" keeps coming to mind.
	12:59pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:57 The only time any of my bands have been played on WFMU was Bill Kelly. Still miss that show.
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:57 that nomads cover is one of the only ones i might say is better than original?? close call, tho.
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:58 l84 duuude!
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:59 Awesome. He opened my eyes to many cool bands.
	1:00pm clarke: anyone get the feeling you been knocked down... good nite.
	1:00pm DjLorraine: BbbUCCI!!!
	1:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: Have fun everyone!
	1:00pm McGroovey: ↳ dday @12:54 My copy of A Wizard/A True Star (bought used in the early eighties, when it was impossible to find new) had a skip right at the beginning of Rock'N'Roll Pussy, and I didn't know it was a skip. I just thought it was one of Todd's not-infrequent sloppy edits. Then, one day, like 5 years later, I played it and there was a pop, and suddenly 20 seconds of music I'd never heard before. With each subsequent play, the pop got quieter.
	1:02pm dday: ↳ McGroovey @1:00 I sold my vinyl a few years back to Spike Priggen. I had a copy of AWATS, in great shape, original die cut cover, & Patti Smith "Star" band-aid poem included
	1:04pm McGroovey: ↳ dday @1:02 My copy is missing the Patti Smith strip :-(
	1:04pm clarke: the chat is still on... what gives?? ..why i oughtta...
	1:05pm dday: ↳ McGroovey @1:04 Only thing missing was the return postcard which i sent in so my name resides somewhere amoung thousands on the Todd poster included in the Todd double P that followed AWATS
	1:06pm clarke: ↳ dday @1:05 that would be Between The Bars??
	1:07pm clarke: put a candle in the window.. THERE'S AN ECLIPSE!!
	1:09pm clarke: a total eclipse of the MIND!!
	1:09pm dday: ↳ clarke @1:06 No. The postcard thing was in AWATS & the poster was included in the Todd "Todd" LP that had a photo one side with some lyrics & a gray scale type image of the Todd cover photo made up of all the names from the returned postcards on the other. Spike got that as well but the I had cut out the photo side for a project. I was maybe 14 at the time
	1:10pm clarke: ↳ dday @1:09 ahhh Todd. right.
	1:12pm clarke: ↳ dday @1:09 was/am pals with spike.
	1:13pm dday: Link to the poster sides in question: https://www.pinterest.jp/pin/55028426685941546/
	1:15pm dday: ↳ clarke @1:12 Sold my collection to him after my heart attack in 2017. fair price. I think they reside in his "outlet" location. An antiques store in Coxscakie,NY
	1:16pm clarke: ↳ dday @1:15 yipes on the heart troubles!! glad yer here - with records or without!
