	⚡ 6:13pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ lothianman @6:06 I hope you liked it! This was Ed from the Infinite Number of Monkeys program, right?
	6:15pm Frank In Queens: ↳ prof.fuzz @6:13 Simple is welcomed during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Enjoyed the day off from work and from any other obligations today. Back the grind tomorrow, although admittedly a bit less grinding during most other times of the year.
	6:15pm Derek D: Merry Merry, Frank! Happy holidays all...
	⚡ 6:15pm lothianman: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @6:13 Yes
	6:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Derek D @6:15 Yo Derek!
	⚡ 6:17pm lothianman: ↳ lothianman @6:15 You ought to check out Circles once a month on Mondays. Last week this month.
	6:17pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Frank and stuffings
	6:18pm Frank In Queens: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:17 Hi coel!
	⚡ 6:19pm Jessie: ↳ Woo @6:03 Hi Woo!
	6:19pm Frank In Queens: Speaking of stuffings, did those that celebrate get any good stocking suffers yesterday? Honestly, that's all i want for Xmas these days. Well, that and my yearly allotment of underwear and socks from my mom (no joke!).
	6:19pm Chili MacPagoda: Aloha Frank and everyone!
	⚡ 6:19pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ lothianman @6:15 Cool. I'll pass that along, thanks!
	6:20pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:19 i got a new skateboard, some records, and some howard the duck comic reprints.
	⚡ 6:20pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ lothianman @6:17 Thanks! Adding a note to my calendar so I dont forget.
	6:20pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:19 The need is real. The only thing I wanted this year was quality made hiking socks and durable underwear. The cheap stuff just chafes!
	6:21pm coelacanth∅: hola Chili!
	6:21pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:19 Hiya Chili!
	6:21pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:21 Hellooooooo coela!
	6:22pm Frank In Queens: ↳ prof.fuzz @6:20 Nice! I got the Geddy Lee autobio and concert tix to the Sammy Hagar VH tribute this summer. I'm not gonna lie, I love the Van Hagar era.
	6:23pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:22 also a nice haul!
	6:23pm coelacanth∅: i could use new underwear - but then if i washed my clothes more than once/2 weeks i'd be fine
	6:23pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:20 Honestly, I don't want anything for Xmas anymore, but my mom insists on me having something to open on Xmas. So, socks and underwear seems like a reasonable and practical compromise.
	6:27pm Derek D: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:22 Enjoy the Geddy. Look forward to discussing it.
	⚡ 6:27pm Tom P: I bought that Ladbroke Grove triple album after your show featuring it a couple of months ago, Frank. It's great!
	6:31pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Tom P @6:27 Excellent! It's a pretty great overview of that underground scene.
	6:31pm MOM WHIG: Hi Frank - Scotty - Stu Christina - Jessie -Tom P - Pauly - Will - lothianman - medson - Woo Rev - Terry - prof-fuzz - coela
	⚡ 6:31pm Jessie: Frank...Have you ever read the book by Rich Deakin titled Keep It Together! Cosmic Boogie With The Deviants and Pink Fairies? Totally worth picking up.
	6:31pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Derek D @6:27 A new year's resolution is to do more reading, so I'm glad I have some material to delve into.
	6:31pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:19 Oh Hi - you slipped in under the RADAR
	6:31pm Terry: Hi Mom!
	6:32pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Jessie @6:31 Hahaha, we are so often on the same wavelength on stuff. Stand by....
	6:32pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:19 Socks are the "Mom" thing for sure HA HA
	6:32pm Frank In Queens: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:32 Hi MOM! They're a Frank In Queen thing too!
	6:33pm Mike Sin: Enjoying the tribute in the kitchen as I crack open the tub-buh-wares and whip up the leftovers!
	6:33pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:20 That's funny!!
	6:34pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Mike Sin @6:33 You best be wearing that hat!
	⚡ 6:34pm Jessie: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Hi Mom!
	6:35pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:33 😂😂😂🙌
	⚡ 6:35pm Jessie: ↳ Song: "White Girls On Amphetamine" by "Pink Fairies" Just a killer track!!
	6:35pm Woo: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Hey MOM WHIG!
	6:35pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Just sent you an email
	6:36pm bobobob plasticland: FIQ here we go again with this Twink stuff ...hey frank
	6:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Jessie @6:35 Yeah! Prompted me to revisit the 1987 album "Kill 'Em & Eat 'Em". Suffers a bit from 80s production, but otherwise pretty damn good. Spun the live version just because it rocks harder, even though the sound quality is less than optimal.
	6:37pm Frank In Queens: ↳ bobobob plasticland @6:36 Hey Bob! Well, it's no secret that we love this band.
	6:37pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "White Girls On Amphetamine" by "Pink Fairies" White girls also sounds like it’s being pronounced as wankers lol
	6:37pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:37 Gotta pay tribute!
	6:38pm Andres: ↳ Song: "White Girls On Amphetamine" by "Pink Fairies" Hi, Frank. Wow!!! 🔥🔥🔥
	6:38pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:37 Ha, yeah but that's not the lyric I had to look up before I spun the track!
	6:38pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:35 Got it
	6:39pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Woo @6:35 Are you off work the rest of the week?
	6:39pm MOM WHIG: ↳ bobobob plasticland @6:36 hi
	6:39pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Andres @6:38 Hey there Andres! Hope you're having a great holiday season.
	6:40pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Andres @6:38 hi there to you
	⚡ 6:41pm Stu Rutherford: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Hi Mom!
	6:41pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Jaime's Song" by "The Deviants" This is fantastic. Like an acid drenched version of the Pistols.
	6:42pm Woo: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:39 No, working every day this week. I like working this week and I used up all my vacation days already.
	6:43pm KickOutTheJams Joe: Greetings Frank & crew
	6:43pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Woo @6:42 Good for you - way to end the year by working.
	6:43pm MOM WHIG: ↳ KickOutTheJams Joe @6:43 hi
	6:44pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:41 Not coincidentally, Deviants/Pink Fairies/Hawkwind were all "hairy" bands that were accepted by the punks. Johnny Rotten himself talks about his love of Hawkwind, and there's a great passage in Mick Farren's first book about checking out the early punk shows and some good natured ribbing by Mr Rotten as well.
	6:44pm Frank In Queens: ↳ KickOutTheJams Joe @6:43 Heya Joey!
	6:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Street Urchin" by "Pink Fairies" This is the dance portion of the show! EVERYONE GET OUT ON THE FLOOR!
	6:48pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:44 This is why I think Thee Hard Stuff is one the best shows on ANY FMU stream. Lots of knowledge to share(putting Mick Farren’s book on my ‘24 reading queue) and programming thoughtful, totally kick arse playlists every week. Salut, Frank, you’ve put in real work with the HS and it shows!
	6:49pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Street Urchin" by "Pink Fairies" My favorite performance by the Fairies rhythm section. They are just dynamic and completely locked in on this one, while Larry Wallis just goes to town on top of them. Just fantastic!
	6:50pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:48 Aw shit, Chili! I'm sincerely trying to bring that every week. I know my delivery could use some work, but that's exactly where I'm coming from. Thank you my friend!
	⚡ 6:52pm Jessie: I also love Twink's Think Pink album!
	⚡ 6:52pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Frank!!!
	6:52pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:50 Yes for sure - what Chili said. You are amazing.
	⚡ 6:53pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Hiya MOM! I hope you had a pleasant Xmas.
	⚡ 6:53pm Tom P: Brilliant tribute, Frank. Thank you! RIP Russell
	⚡ 6:53pm Jessie: Excellent show today Frank. Show's like this one make me grateful for the FMU archives.
	6:53pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @6:53 Yes - the weather was pretty good too. Family was here.
	6:54pm Woo: Thanks Frank! I look forward to this show every week.
	⚡ 6:54pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks for the fitting tribute, Frank! I need to listen to more Deviants.
	⚡ 6:54pm medson: Thanks Frank. Killer sounds.
	6:54pm Terry: FIQ, GREAT show ! He would be honored that you paid tribute to him.
	6:54pm Chili MacPagoda: Way to bring 2023 to a close, excellent tribute as well. Thank you Frank 🍻
	6:54pm Andres: Great tribute, Frank. I was unfamiliar with these bands so thank you for opening my eyes/ears.
	6:55pm MOM WHIG: YEAH the M&M's will be back next week.
	⚡ 6:55pm lothianman: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Hi best to you Mom Whig !!
	6:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ FIQ ~
	⚡ 6:56pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Frank!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	6:57pm Frank In Queens: Thank you everyone for listening. I'm honored to pay tribute to Russell and musicians of his ilk that while might not be household names deserve recognition for their contributions to the culture of rock and roll.
	6:58pm Frank In Queens: BTW, I had a whole other show practically in the can for this week when I got the news that Russell passed. I just couldn't let it wait before doing a dedicated show to him and his music.
	6:59pm Frank In Queens: And NOW, get on over to Joey's page for the last Kick Out The Jams program of the year!!!!!

	6:33pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:20 That's funny!!
	6:34pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Mike Sin @6:33 You best be wearing that hat!
	⚡ 6:34pm Jessie: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Hi Mom!
	6:35pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:33 😂😂😂🙌
	⚡ 6:35pm Jessie: ↳ Song: "White Girls On Amphetamine" by "Pink Fairies" Just a killer track!!
	6:35pm Woo: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Hey MOM WHIG!
	6:35pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Just sent you an email
	6:36pm bobobob plasticland: FIQ here we go again with this Twink stuff ...hey frank
	6:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Jessie @6:35 Yeah! Prompted me to revisit the 1987 album "Kill 'Em & Eat 'Em". Suffers a bit from 80s production, but otherwise pretty damn good. Spun the live version just because it rocks harder, even though the sound quality is less than optimal.
	6:37pm Frank In Queens: ↳ bobobob plasticland @6:36 Hey Bob! Well, it's no secret that we love this band.
	6:37pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "White Girls On Amphetamine" by "Pink Fairies" White girls also sounds like it’s being pronounced as wankers lol
	6:37pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:37 Gotta pay tribute!
	6:38pm Andres: ↳ Song: "White Girls On Amphetamine" by "Pink Fairies" Hi, Frank. Wow!!! 🔥🔥🔥
	6:38pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:37 Ha, yeah but that's not the lyric I had to look up before I spun the track!
	6:38pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:35 Got it
	6:39pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Woo @6:35 Are you off work the rest of the week?
	6:39pm MOM WHIG: ↳ bobobob plasticland @6:36 hi
	6:39pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Andres @6:38 Hey there Andres! Hope you're having a great holiday season.
	6:40pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Andres @6:38 hi there to you
	⚡ 6:41pm Stu Rutherford: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Hi Mom!
	6:41pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Jaime's Song" by "The Deviants" This is fantastic. Like an acid drenched version of the Pistols.
	6:42pm Woo: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:39 No, working every day this week. I like working this week and I used up all my vacation days already.
	6:43pm KickOutTheJams Joe: Greetings Frank & crew
	6:43pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Woo @6:42 Good for you - way to end the year by working.
	6:43pm MOM WHIG: ↳ KickOutTheJams Joe @6:43 hi
	6:44pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:41 Not coincidentally, Deviants/Pink Fairies/Hawkwind were all "hairy" bands that were accepted by the punks. Johnny Rotten himself talks about his love of Hawkwind, and there's a great passage in Mick Farren's first book about checking out the early punk shows and some good natured ribbing by Mr Rotten as well.
	6:44pm Frank In Queens: ↳ KickOutTheJams Joe @6:43 Heya Joey!
	6:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Street Urchin" by "Pink Fairies" This is the dance portion of the show! EVERYONE GET OUT ON THE FLOOR!
	6:48pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:44 This is why I think Thee Hard Stuff is one the best shows on ANY FMU stream. Lots of knowledge to share(putting Mick Farren’s book on my ‘24 reading queue) and programming thoughtful, totally kick arse playlists every week. Salut, Frank, you’ve put in real work with the HS and it shows!
	6:49pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Street Urchin" by "Pink Fairies" My favorite performance by the Fairies rhythm section. They are just dynamic and completely locked in on this one, while Larry Wallis just goes to town on top of them. Just fantastic!
	6:50pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @6:48 Aw shit, Chili! I'm sincerely trying to bring that every week. I know my delivery could use some work, but that's exactly where I'm coming from. Thank you my friend!
	⚡ 6:52pm Jessie: I also love Twink's Think Pink album!
	⚡ 6:52pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Frank!!!
	6:52pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:50 Yes for sure - what Chili said. You are amazing.
	⚡ 6:53pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Hiya MOM! I hope you had a pleasant Xmas.
	⚡ 6:53pm Tom P: Brilliant tribute, Frank. Thank you! RIP Russell
	⚡ 6:53pm Jessie: Excellent show today Frank. Show's like this one make me grateful for the FMU archives.
	6:53pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @6:53 Yes - the weather was pretty good too. Family was here.
	6:54pm Woo: Thanks Frank! I look forward to this show every week.
	⚡ 6:54pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks for the fitting tribute, Frank! I need to listen to more Deviants.
	⚡ 6:54pm medson: Thanks Frank. Killer sounds.
	6:54pm Terry: FIQ, GREAT show ! He would be honored that you paid tribute to him.
	6:54pm Chili MacPagoda: Way to bring 2023 to a close, excellent tribute as well. Thank you Frank 🍻
	6:54pm Andres: Great tribute, Frank. I was unfamiliar with these bands so thank you for opening my eyes/ears.
	6:55pm MOM WHIG: YEAH the M&M's will be back next week.
	⚡ 6:55pm lothianman: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:31 Hi best to you Mom Whig !!
	6:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ FIQ ~
	⚡ 6:56pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Frank!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	6:57pm Frank In Queens: Thank you everyone for listening. I'm honored to pay tribute to Russell and musicians of his ilk that while might not be household names deserve recognition for their contributions to the culture of rock and roll.
	6:58pm Frank In Queens: BTW, I had a whole other show practically in the can for this week when I got the news that Russell passed. I just couldn't let it wait before doing a dedicated show to him and his music.
	6:59pm Frank In Queens: And NOW, get on over to Joey's page for the last Kick Out The Jams program of the year!!!!!
