	3:30pm listener 126464: ↳ Hoboken Jack @3:17 Hi Jack, yeah, at 4:30. But it’s the ‘weekend’ and ‘parking’, etc. Good to see both of you NJ legends together.
	3:31pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Cassius, Brutus & Judas" by "Osees" I had to look up the lyrics. The closest to "You've got nazi food" seem to be "You've got naughty fever",
	3:31pm Victrola Tom: I totally remember Harmony House on 22!
	👻 3:32pm Bruce S.: the Harmony Hut? that can't be the Harmony Hut I remember No Way
	3:32pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Bruce S. @3:23 TKS!!! I wasn't sure if maybe it was Bowie...as I saw him on keys with Iggy in Apr 77. There was also an interesting opener for that show...Blondie! That show was life changing.
	3:32pm Pauly from Clifton: Harmony Hut was in the Willowbrook Mall, Wayne, off of 46.
	3:33pm Victrola Tom: Yup, Harmony House was on route 22 in Springfield I believe.
	3:34pm listener 126464: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @3:32 That rings a bell.
	3:37pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ listener 126464 @3:34 I was a mall rat and would to hangout at the arcade there. After we spend our $$ we'd go to Harmony Hut and thumb through the expensive imports.

	3:39pm Isaac Candelario: Old lady Isaac checking in covered in construction dust and running for the weekend! Wooooo
	👻 3:41pm Bruce S.: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @3:38 Those were really great times but I try not to live in the past too much
	3:43pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Bruce S. @3:37 Yes...the Idiot tour. I won my tickets off the radio...that was my "means" as a broke teen. But that concert in particular was the big pivot point for my lifelong musical tastes...
	👻 3:46pm Bruce S.: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @3:43 Wow Thats Really Great That was an Important event in my life as well and I never forgot it,like you
	👻 3:47pm Bruce S.: TOPT YOU ARE TEARIN IT UP TODAY BABY!

	3:52pm listener 126464: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @3:37 I think they had a Sam Goody, too.
	3:52pm Isaac Candelario: What a sick riff
	3:53pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Tim from LH @3:51 Yes indeed. The great Mick Green on guitar.
	3:54pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Chili MacPagoda @3:49 Hi Chili. Your dedication to doing your Sat chores to TOPT is commendable! I just watered the plants. That's it for chores today.
	3:55pm medson: I told my wife I'll go to the store when Todd plays a bad song
	3:56pm clarke: again?
	👻 3:56pm Tim from LH: ↳ medson @3:55 She may be waiting till after 6!
	3:58pm HyperDose: Sam Goody and A&W at Bridgewater Mall off rt22 was the hang!
	3:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Tim from LH @3:56 Speaking of 6PM, Gayle the Snayle is tonight's drop-in — www.wfmu.org...
	4:00pm clarke: ↳ HyperDose @3:58 good burgers, dude!
	4:03pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66" by "Dr. Feelgood" I picked up a pizza on Rt. 66 (Neptune, NJ) a little while ago.
	4:04pm MFlynn: Damn! I was thinking that did sound like Mick Green!! Thanks Todd!!!!
	4:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ MFlynn @4:04 To paraphrase Gail Turley at White Castle Headquarters in Columbus years ago: "I know my people!".
	4:07pm MFlynn: Yes you do Todd!
	👻 4:07pm Garrity: G'afternoon TOPT, ALL!
	4:08pm Blissland: this is a different version than the one I know
	4:08pm clarke: always good to have a Burke-a-thon!

	👻 4:09pm Tim from LH: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:59 Thanks for the reminder. Gayle/Snayle is great!
	4:10pm Blissland: I wonder if Chris Stein is still pinching himself about getting Debbie
	4:11pm Blissland: these are all different versions
	4:11pm medson: ↳ Song: "Platinum Blonde" by "Blondie" Swoon
	4:12pm DonJuanTijuana: Sounding Great TOPT from Buffalo today. Getting ready to line up for the best wings here @ Nine-Eleven.
	4:12pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Nice Blondie picks. Hey, Todd, FMU crew
	4:12pm Shalala Dranvon: I like those prod values on "Against the Odds"
	👻 4:12pm Bruce S.: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:06 I hope none of those people were in those white castle burgers she was peddling
	4:13pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "X Offender" by "Blondie" One of the best openings/intros for any songs...and the tune just gets better & better as it goes along.
	4:13pm HyperDose: ↳ Bruce S. @4:12 That vitamin W is good stuff
	4:13pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Hi Todd & All!! Fun Show as usual!! Blondie started off punk…. But grew into a chameleon Band….being able to do any genre of music!! Can’t wait to hear your interview with Chris Stein!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
	4:14pm Blissland: to this day the best woman I have ever seen or heard of
	👻 4:14pm Bruce S.: ↳ HyperDose @4:13 I don't want to go there
	4:15pm listener 126464: ↳ Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls) @4:13 Hey, Roxy!
	4:16pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "A Shark In Jets Clothing" by "Blondie" Why is this first album so overlooked (not here, but everywhere else)? It's my favorite!
	4:17pm Steve Harsh: ↳ Billybob @4:16 First two Blondie records just fantastic
	4:17pm Billybob: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @4:13 Being the first song on the first side of the first album, it's kind of the introduction to the band!
	👻 4:18pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "Denis" by "Blondie" one of my faves
	4:18pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): My 2nd all girl Band, “Ladies First” had the “great honor” of opening up for Iggy at the Stone Pony around 1987. He was fantastic!!!
	4:19pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): French version of Sunday girl next?
	4:19pm clarke: an infante inundation
	4:19pm patrick321: Hey Todd and all “A Shark in Jet’s Clothing” is def underrated, though when set next to Blondie’s boatload of stellar pop tunes maybe it’s a “fan fave only.”
	4:20pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "(I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence, Dear" by "... ...and the "hits keep coming"...;-)
	4:21pm Frank Zaatar: Question: Who knew French, Chris or Debbie (or both)?
	4:21pm patrick321: ↳ Blissland @4:10 Haha really, thanks for that.
	4:21pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): I read somewhere that they used to cover Television’s “Venus” live but I’ve never found a recording of that. Would love to have heard it.
	4:23pm Blissland: this always reminds me of Monica from brighton beach
	4:23pm Billybob: ↳ patrick321 @4:19 Way back when, I put the song on a mix tape next to Alice Cooper's Gutter Cat vs the Jets. Worked really well together.
	4:23pm Blissland: she looked exactly like Debbie on the cover of the first lp. But she was 16 at the time
	4:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Frank Zaatar @4:21 Perhaps neither? Philippe Marcade translated the French verse for "Denis". I was going to play the French version of "Sunday Girl" but changed at the last minute because of how much I love the lyric, "Hurry up and wait". But in any case...Debbie could sing French as good as Morticia Adams could speak it!
	4:23pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Hey Listener!!! 😁🎸😁🎸😁…..we’re all in unison, listening to “the best Show” on the radio!!! Love You Todd!!
	4:25pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): @Todd - Both versions are so good it’s heard to choose. Soft spot for the French but this is great. No complaints!
	4:25pm greg g: Seems like you've borrowed some #1's from Michael Shelley! Sounding great and looking forward to the Chris Stein interview ! Cheers Todd!!
	4:25pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Sunday Girl" by "Blondie" Heavenly handclaps...;-)
	4:25pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls) @4:23 Thanks Roxy!
	4:27pm Blissland: not sure I've heard another producer get such diverse sounds as Mike Chapman with those 3 albums
	4:27pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:23 Clicky star for using Debbie Harry and Morticia Addams in the same sentence!
	4:28pm Kirsten Nauset CC: Loving the Blondie tracks. Haven't heard this one in eons.
	4:29pm patrick321: So many gems
	4:30pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Sitting across the river from Exchange Place rn watching boats in the river, taking in the sun, and listening to Blondie on Todd’s show. Can’t ask for better than that. And we still have the interview to come!
	4:31pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "The Tide Is High" by "Blondie" Companion song to Island of Lost Souls?
	4:31pm clarke: we'll always have paris. we didn't, but we got it back.
	4:32pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "The Tide Is High" by "Blondie" I clicky-starred this not because it's some new revelation to me on this show, but just because it's long been a favorite of mine for several reasons. I like the sentiment, even though now it'd be considered "stalking". I like how the very bland 4/4 is used as a scaffold for interesting and cute instrumentation.
	4:34pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Love this Song!!!!
	4:35pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Shayla" by "Blondie" 👁️🫀em ALL (who couldn’t!) yet this ‘eat to the beat’ album is my pet fave. The freakin’ drumming & production (sound!) on that album are the shizznits!🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Clam Bake…um er…Clem Burke forever ♾️!
	4:35pm Victrola Tom: Debbie Harry & Morticia Addams were the dream girls of every red-blooded ‘70’s American teen…….weren’t they?
	4:40pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Todd!
	4:43pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: RIP Jeremy Tepper
	👻 4:46pm Bruce S.: Clem was very photogenic
	4:47pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "X Offender" by "Blondie" i still have this 45 too! (Out in the Streets and Platinum Blonde too -- gotta dig through my 45s -- iirc, my oldest friend in the world got these for me, when he would go to NYC and then mail them to me -- i was still stuck out in "the sticks") greetings, Todd! Chris! Everyone! i gotta get back to work here, but i will be listening 😺😺
	4:49pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Todd-O-Phonic Todd finds Chris Stein "Under A Rock"" Chris, your photographs of "old" NYC are amazing
	4:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ slugluv1313 @4:47 Hi, Slug. Stay hydrated! 🥤
	👻 4:56pm Bruce S.: that is exactly how I felt about it at the time
	4:56pm slugluv1313: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @4:50 hiya Ken -- YES!!! hope you are staying hydrated too! i totally want to experiment with the recipe that Alexandra posted -- Shikanji, a/k/a "Indian Gatorade" -- but for now, lots of WATER!
	👻 4:57pm Bruce S.: ↳ Bruce S. @4:56 talking about Disco not Coke
	4:58pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Great interview, Todd.
	👻 4:59pm Bruce S.: what about George "the Animal" Steel
	5:01pm Ochre Ogre: Disco was huge back then, as were the piles of coke.
	5:01pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Bruce S. @4:57 GTK. ;-) More seriously though...music was happily always the drug of choice for many of us.
	5:02pm Matty from Brooklyn: Great interview, thanks Todd. That Wild Style record is fantastic, thanks for everything you've done, Chris!
	👻 5:02pm Hoboken Jack: Jonny Couch's guitarist is the touring guitarist for Blondie. Terrific interview, Todd, thank you! He seems like a real good guy.
	5:03pm MFlynn: That was great Todd. Thanks!!
	5:03pm medson: Great stuff Todd. Thanks.
	5:03pm Ochre Ogre: Great interview, glad Chris doing well!
	5:03pm listener 126464: Cheers, Chris. Thanks, Todd. Great interview.
	5:03pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Todd-O-Phonic Todd finds Chris Stein "Under A Rock"" I'm dealing again with A fib after an ablation, and I'd like to know which drug in connection with that is fatiguing.
	👻 5:04pm Bruce S.: Great Job Todd and Chris Thanks
	5:07pm MarciB: Never got to meet Jeremy but we know his brother Andy. What a loss, deepest condolences to his friends and family and anyone listening who knew him. This is a lovely tribute, Todd.
	5:08pm Patolds: First saw Blondie open for Rush in the Philly Spectrum 1979. Found out later that Blondie was a last minute fill-in. Acid head Rush fans booed them off the stage. Threw stuff at the band. Blondie left the stage saying, Fuck you Philly!!!”
	5:10pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Well said Todd, another day of sad news
	5:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP, Jeremy. www.rollingstone.com...
	5:12pm Parq: ↳ Patolds @5:08 Sadly, that frequently happens to bands who have to open for acts whose fanbase centers on white guys in their late teens and twenties. I saw the Stray Cats get similar treatment from a King Crimson crowd in'82.
	5:13pm Joe B: I still can't believe Jeremy is gone. what a career, what a person.
	5:14pm Parq: On to the current topic, I remember seeing Jeremy with Miss Laura at gigs, and I was always impressed by the quiet authority he projected. My heart breaks for Laura and their kid.
	5:15pm Ochre Ogre: Sorry to hear of this passing.
	5:17pm Patolds: ↳ Parq @5:12 Even as a 16 year old, I thought Rush and Blondie were an odd pairing. I researched and got the date of the show and found a link to the Dangerous Minds’ blog, got more info
	5:18pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:12 Thanks for the link!
	5:20pm greg g: I’m very sorry for your loss Todd. Condolences to Jeremy’s wife Laura, daughter Bella and family.Please take care.
	5:20pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Patolds @5:17 Not to defend rude behavior on the part of the fans, but that is terrible booking.
	5:21pm patrick321: Condolences Todd, and all around, especially to Laura and Bella
	5:23pm Patolds: First heard “Do it for Hank” on The Hound Show years ago. God Bless
	5:25pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Hi Patolds! Blondie opening up for Rush🙁. There are many horror stories!! My band opened up for Judas Priest! Someone at our record company thought that it would be a match made in heaven because our “Band Names” meshed!! Just imagine a New Wave Rock Band opening for a heavy metal band? Drinks, coins, ect got thrown at the band.🙁
	5:26pm patrick321: ↳ San Pedro Girl @5:20 Terrible booking but not uncommon as others on this board would confirm I think. Mention of Stray Cats made me think of the line in Rock This Town about "a real square cat he looked so 1974" there was a huge divide in the early 80s.
	5:27pm ChrisB.: Very, very shook by the news about Jeremy. My heart goes out to Miss Laura and Bella.
	5:28pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Todd, that was a heartfelt talk about Jeremy. Many condolences to you and everyone who knew him.
	👻 5:28pm Bruce S.: ↳ patrick321 @5:26 yeah the Jeans and T shirt Kids Versus the More Stylish New Wave Kids
	5:30pm Steve Harsh: Very sorry for your loss Todd, and thanks for another great show
	5:31pm Patolds: Chris Stein was windmilling, I think to give the crowd the finger at the top of his motion.
	5:31pm Patolds: …he was giving the finger
	5:31pm herb.nyc: So sad to learn Jeremy Tepper died. I don’t know him but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the world famous blue jays (at folk city? Or Maxwell’s?). I do recall a Laura pandemic streamed show. Done at her home, and she’s talking to him, off camera. I send my condolences to family and friends. RIP
	5:31pm listener 126464: We said if you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin’.
	5:32pm patrick321: ↳ Bruce S. @5:28 Maybe but I wasn't thinking of the square cat in a fashion sense but more of a AOR radio (Rush, Genesis) vs a band like Blondie
	5:32pm patrick321: ↳ listener 126464 @5:31 Word
	👻 5:32pm Bruce S.: Music radio was very segregated in the 70s and 80s
	5:33pm MFlynn: Very sorry to hear this about Jeremy and I’m so sorry for Laura. Just terrible news. Thanks Todd for putting all this together for us.
	5:33pm DonJuanTijuana: Hell Yeah JTepper! RIP ❤️❤️❤️🤘
	👻 5:35pm Bruce S.: I think Talking Heads and Blondie made It On to AOR but The Ramones Never Really Did
	5:35pm Van Winkle ;-): I'm not much of a record collector...but I definitely have a lot of CDs from Jeremy's Diesel Only label...and have enjoyed so many live shows/showcases by his label's artists. Wonderful tribute. TKS TOPT.
	5:36pm Ochre Ogre: link that doesn't require a subscription/sign up: https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/sirius-xm-outlaw-channel-chief-jeremy-tepper-passes/
	5:38pm Destroit: Whatupdoe Todd and Co! George Jones and watchin NASCAR. I doin aight haha
	5:41pm Billybob: ↳ Bruce S. @5:32 I think that came about with the rise of FM radio. Prior to that, we listened to a much wider range of musical styles on AM radio...WABC and WMCA for many in NJ. But we all just embraced the progressive FM stations like WNEW and WPLJ. That was the future of music back then.
	5:41pm Patolds: ↳ Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls) @5:25 I can only imagine that, never been on stage in front of a large crowd. From an audience POV it looks like it almost part of the show. I know that is a naive thing to say, I’m sure it’s scary as all hell
	5:44pm Franco Twinkie: Speaking of blue jays, I was out on the front porch sequencing records when one came hopping up to eat some cat food. Hi Todd!
	👻 5:44pm Bruce S.: ↳ Billybob @5:41 I'm not saying this is ridgidly true but I think urban white people were more tolerent od Disco early hip hop and Punk where as suburban White people preffered the AOR corporate Rock Sound
	5:46pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Look At All The Things" by "Neil Young with Crazy... Yes!! Danny Whitten on vocals.
	5:46pm Franco Twinkie: Hey SPG!
	5:47pm tacopizza: Yabba dabba do! What a jam. Personal favorite from George Jones.
	5:47pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Condolences to Laura and their daughter. Thanks for a touching remembrance, Todd. You give a really good sense of the whole person. Sorry for your loss.
	5:48pm MFlynn: Wow! This Rosali song is fabulous!
	5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:44 Blue jays vs. opossums throw down right after this show! Place your bets! 🥊
	5:49pm Franco Twinkie: Yup, it's zoo out there!
	👻 5:49pm Bruce S.: ↳ Bruce S. @5:44 maybe that sounded to harsh and stupid,I'm sorry if it did
	5:50pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Tougher Than The Rest" by "Emmylou Harris" Superb version...
	5:50pm Billybob: ↳ Bruce S. @5:44 You're probably right. I was a suburban white kid, but I was tired of many of my favorites. Alice Cooper was doing ballads, Deep Purple got boring, Black Sabbath was Sabotaging themselves, so punk was a breath of fresh air for me. Not disco so much. I just thought disco was mindless.
	5:51pm Destroit: Emmylou is always spectacular.
	5:52pm patrick321: ↳ Bruce S. @5:44 That was my experience, and I belonged to both groups, having grown up in western. NJ and moved to NYC in 1978..
	👻 5:54pm Bruce S.: I grew up in Brooklyn and Jersey City so I was fortunate to have alot of exposure to other musical styles
	5:55pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Bruce S. @5:44 I noted great a detest for disco music and punk. This was from people who had very little experience in the world, had never even traveled out of the little town we grew up in. I chalked it up to ignorance.
	5:55pm San Pedro Girl: *a great detest
	5:55pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd. Really appreciate it.
	5:55pm Van Winkle ;-): We 💜 live radio...truly...we do!!! ;-)
	5:56pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:46 Hi Franco!
	5:56pm Mr C: Thanks for all this Todd.
	5:56pm Ochre Ogre: Thank you Todd! Condolences to you, dear Laura, her daughter and all friends of Jeremy.
	5:57pm bigplanetnoise: Thank you, Todd.
	5:57pm San Pedro Girl: Thanks Todd.
	👻 5:57pm prof.fuzz: THX TOPT
	5:57pm listener 126464: Thanks for sharing, Todd.
	5:57pm Franco Twinkie: I will actually listen to this show in the archive. I loved Blondie back in the day.
	5:58pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Hi Patolds! Yeah it’s like an attack while you’re trying to put on as best a show that you can. We had another one while opening up for The Stranglers at Irving Plaza. They threw stuff at us and drinks(thank God we didnt get electrocuted while playing our electric guitars!) Then the next nite we had to open for them again. I said to the Band, “how are we gonna survive this?” Our brilliant lead singer came up with the solution!! She told the Band to look as “tough” as we could and no smiling. That won the crowd over. They actually wanted an encore!!
	5:58pm Regina J: Beautiful way to honor Jeremy. Thank you, Todd. All love to Laura and Bella. It’s a heartbreaking loss.
	👻 5:59pm Bruce S.: thank you Todd,beautiful show thank you everyone,have a good one
	5:59pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "There You Go" by "Johnny Cash and Tennessee Two" There it goes...another fine 3 hours of superb music & hosting. TKS as always TOPT!
	6:00pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Todd.
	6:00pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, TOPT! Great stuff! Have a great Saturday evening, all!
	6:00pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): “Thank You Todd!!!” Have a “great” nite!!!😘

	3:31pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Cassius, Brutus & Judas" by "Osees" I had to look up the lyrics. The closest to "You've got nazi food" seem to be "You've got naughty fever",
	3:31pm Victrola Tom: I totally remember Harmony House on 22!

	4:13pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "X Offender" by "Blondie" One of the best openings/intros for any songs...and the tune just gets better & better as it goes along.
	4:13pm HyperDose: ↳ Bruce S. @4:12 That vitamin W is good stuff
	4:13pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Hi Todd & All!! Fun Show as usual!! Blondie started off punk…. But grew into a chameleon Band….being able to do any genre of music!! Can’t wait to hear your interview with Chris Stein!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
	4:14pm Blissland: to this day the best woman I have ever seen or heard of
	👻 4:14pm Bruce S.: ↳ HyperDose @4:13 I don't want to go there
	4:15pm listener 126464: ↳ Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls) @4:13 Hey, Roxy!
	4:16pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "A Shark In Jets Clothing" by "Blondie" Why is this first album so overlooked (not here, but everywhere else)? It's my favorite!
	4:17pm Steve Harsh: ↳ Billybob @4:16 First two Blondie records just fantastic
	4:17pm Billybob: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @4:13 Being the first song on the first side of the first album, it's kind of the introduction to the band!
	👻 4:18pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "Denis" by "Blondie" one of my faves
	4:18pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): My 2nd all girl Band, “Ladies First” had the “great honor” of opening up for Iggy at the Stone Pony around 1987. He was fantastic!!!
	4:19pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): French version of Sunday girl next?
	4:19pm clarke: an infante inundation
	4:19pm patrick321: Hey Todd and all “A Shark in Jet’s Clothing” is def underrated, though when set next to Blondie’s boatload of stellar pop tunes maybe it’s a “fan fave only.”
	4:20pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "(I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence, Dear" by "... ...and the "hits keep coming"...;-)
	4:21pm Frank Zaatar: Question: Who knew French, Chris or Debbie (or both)?
	4:21pm patrick321: ↳ Blissland @4:10 Haha really, thanks for that.
	4:21pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): I read somewhere that they used to cover Television’s “Venus” live but I’ve never found a recording of that. Would love to have heard it.
	4:23pm Blissland: this always reminds me of Monica from brighton beach
	4:23pm Billybob: ↳ patrick321 @4:19 Way back when, I put the song on a mix tape next to Alice Cooper's Gutter Cat vs the Jets. Worked really well together.
	4:23pm Blissland: she looked exactly like Debbie on the cover of the first lp. But she was 16 at the time
	4:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Frank Zaatar @4:21 Perhaps neither? Philippe Marcade translated the French verse for "Denis". I was going to play the French version of "Sunday Girl" but changed at the last minute because of how much I love the lyric, "Hurry up and wait". But in any case...Debbie could sing French as good as Morticia Adams could speak it!
	4:23pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Hey Listener!!! 😁🎸😁🎸😁…..we’re all in unison, listening to “the best Show” on the radio!!! Love You Todd!!
	4:25pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): @Todd - Both versions are so good it’s heard to choose. Soft spot for the French but this is great. No complaints!
	4:25pm greg g: Seems like you've borrowed some #1's from Michael Shelley! Sounding great and looking forward to the Chris Stein interview ! Cheers Todd!!
	4:25pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Sunday Girl" by "Blondie" Heavenly handclaps...;-)
	4:25pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls) @4:23 Thanks Roxy!
	4:27pm Blissland: not sure I've heard another producer get such diverse sounds as Mike Chapman with those 3 albums
	4:27pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:23 Clicky star for using Debbie Harry and Morticia Addams in the same sentence!
	4:28pm Kirsten Nauset CC: Loving the Blondie tracks. Haven't heard this one in eons.
	4:29pm patrick321: So many gems
	4:30pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Sitting across the river from Exchange Place rn watching boats in the river, taking in the sun, and listening to Blondie on Todd’s show. Can’t ask for better than that. And we still have the interview to come!
	4:31pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "The Tide Is High" by "Blondie" Companion song to Island of Lost Souls?
	4:31pm clarke: we'll always have paris. we didn't, but we got it back.
	4:32pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "The Tide Is High" by "Blondie" I clicky-starred this not because it's some new revelation to me on this show, but just because it's long been a favorite of mine for several reasons. I like the sentiment, even though now it'd be considered "stalking". I like how the very bland 4/4 is used as a scaffold for interesting and cute instrumentation.
	4:34pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Love this Song!!!!
	4:35pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Shayla" by "Blondie" 👁️🫀em ALL (who couldn’t!) yet this ‘eat to the beat’ album is my pet fave. The freakin’ drumming & production (sound!) on that album are the shizznits!🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Clam Bake…um er…Clem Burke forever ♾️!
	4:35pm Victrola Tom: Debbie Harry & Morticia Addams were the dream girls of every red-blooded ‘70’s American teen…….weren’t they?
	4:40pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Todd!
	4:43pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: RIP Jeremy Tepper
	👻 4:46pm Bruce S.: Clem was very photogenic
	4:47pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "X Offender" by "Blondie" i still have this 45 too! (Out in the Streets and Platinum Blonde too -- gotta dig through my 45s -- iirc, my oldest friend in the world got these for me, when he would go to NYC and then mail them to me -- i was still stuck out in "the sticks") greetings, Todd! Chris! Everyone! i gotta get back to work here, but i will be listening 😺😺
	4:49pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Todd-O-Phonic Todd finds Chris Stein "Under A Rock"" Chris, your photographs of "old" NYC are amazing
	4:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ slugluv1313 @4:47 Hi, Slug. Stay hydrated! 🥤
	👻 4:56pm Bruce S.: that is exactly how I felt about it at the time
	4:56pm slugluv1313: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @4:50 hiya Ken -- YES!!! hope you are staying hydrated too! i totally want to experiment with the recipe that Alexandra posted -- Shikanji, a/k/a "Indian Gatorade" -- but for now, lots of WATER!
	👻 4:57pm Bruce S.: ↳ Bruce S. @4:56 talking about Disco not Coke
	4:58pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Great interview, Todd.
	👻 4:59pm Bruce S.: what about George "the Animal" Steel
	5:01pm Ochre Ogre: Disco was huge back then, as were the piles of coke.
	5:01pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Bruce S. @4:57 GTK. ;-) More seriously though...music was happily always the drug of choice for many of us.
	5:02pm Matty from Brooklyn: Great interview, thanks Todd. That Wild Style record is fantastic, thanks for everything you've done, Chris!
	👻 5:02pm Hoboken Jack: Jonny Couch's guitarist is the touring guitarist for Blondie. Terrific interview, Todd, thank you! He seems like a real good guy.
	5:03pm MFlynn: That was great Todd. Thanks!!
	5:03pm medson: Great stuff Todd. Thanks.
	5:03pm Ochre Ogre: Great interview, glad Chris doing well!
	5:03pm listener 126464: Cheers, Chris. Thanks, Todd. Great interview.
	5:03pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Todd-O-Phonic Todd finds Chris Stein "Under A Rock"" I'm dealing again with A fib after an ablation, and I'd like to know which drug in connection with that is fatiguing.
	👻 5:04pm Bruce S.: Great Job Todd and Chris Thanks
	5:07pm MarciB: Never got to meet Jeremy but we know his brother Andy. What a loss, deepest condolences to his friends and family and anyone listening who knew him. This is a lovely tribute, Todd.
	5:08pm Patolds: First saw Blondie open for Rush in the Philly Spectrum 1979. Found out later that Blondie was a last minute fill-in. Acid head Rush fans booed them off the stage. Threw stuff at the band. Blondie left the stage saying, Fuck you Philly!!!”
	5:10pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Well said Todd, another day of sad news
	5:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP, Jeremy. www.rollingstone.com...
	5:12pm Parq: ↳ Patolds @5:08 Sadly, that frequently happens to bands who have to open for acts whose fanbase centers on white guys in their late teens and twenties. I saw the Stray Cats get similar treatment from a King Crimson crowd in'82.
	5:13pm Joe B: I still can't believe Jeremy is gone. what a career, what a person.
	5:14pm Parq: On to the current topic, I remember seeing Jeremy with Miss Laura at gigs, and I was always impressed by the quiet authority he projected. My heart breaks for Laura and their kid.
	5:15pm Ochre Ogre: Sorry to hear of this passing.
	5:17pm Patolds: ↳ Parq @5:12 Even as a 16 year old, I thought Rush and Blondie were an odd pairing. I researched and got the date of the show and found a link to the Dangerous Minds’ blog, got more info
	5:18pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:12 Thanks for the link!
	5:20pm greg g: I’m very sorry for your loss Todd. Condolences to Jeremy’s wife Laura, daughter Bella and family.Please take care.
	5:20pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Patolds @5:17 Not to defend rude behavior on the part of the fans, but that is terrible booking.
	5:21pm patrick321: Condolences Todd, and all around, especially to Laura and Bella
	5:23pm Patolds: First heard “Do it for Hank” on The Hound Show years ago. God Bless
	5:25pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Hi Patolds! Blondie opening up for Rush🙁. There are many horror stories!! My band opened up for Judas Priest! Someone at our record company thought that it would be a match made in heaven because our “Band Names” meshed!! Just imagine a New Wave Rock Band opening for a heavy metal band? Drinks, coins, ect got thrown at the band.🙁
	5:26pm patrick321: ↳ San Pedro Girl @5:20 Terrible booking but not uncommon as others on this board would confirm I think. Mention of Stray Cats made me think of the line in Rock This Town about "a real square cat he looked so 1974" there was a huge divide in the early 80s.
	5:27pm ChrisB.: Very, very shook by the news about Jeremy. My heart goes out to Miss Laura and Bella.
	5:28pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Todd, that was a heartfelt talk about Jeremy. Many condolences to you and everyone who knew him.
	👻 5:28pm Bruce S.: ↳ patrick321 @5:26 yeah the Jeans and T shirt Kids Versus the More Stylish New Wave Kids
	5:30pm Steve Harsh: Very sorry for your loss Todd, and thanks for another great show
	5:31pm Patolds: Chris Stein was windmilling, I think to give the crowd the finger at the top of his motion.
	5:31pm Patolds: …he was giving the finger
	5:31pm herb.nyc: So sad to learn Jeremy Tepper died. I don’t know him but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the world famous blue jays (at folk city? Or Maxwell’s?). I do recall a Laura pandemic streamed show. Done at her home, and she’s talking to him, off camera. I send my condolences to family and friends. RIP
	5:31pm listener 126464: We said if you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin’.
	5:32pm patrick321: ↳ Bruce S. @5:28 Maybe but I wasn't thinking of the square cat in a fashion sense but more of a AOR radio (Rush, Genesis) vs a band like Blondie
	5:32pm patrick321: ↳ listener 126464 @5:31 Word
	👻 5:32pm Bruce S.: Music radio was very segregated in the 70s and 80s
	5:33pm MFlynn: Very sorry to hear this about Jeremy and I’m so sorry for Laura. Just terrible news. Thanks Todd for putting all this together for us.
	5:33pm DonJuanTijuana: Hell Yeah JTepper! RIP ❤️❤️❤️🤘
	👻 5:35pm Bruce S.: I think Talking Heads and Blondie made It On to AOR but The Ramones Never Really Did
	5:35pm Van Winkle ;-): I'm not much of a record collector...but I definitely have a lot of CDs from Jeremy's Diesel Only label...and have enjoyed so many live shows/showcases by his label's artists. Wonderful tribute. TKS TOPT.

	5:38pm Destroit: Whatupdoe Todd and Co! George Jones and watchin NASCAR. I doin aight haha
	5:41pm Billybob: ↳ Bruce S. @5:32 I think that came about with the rise of FM radio. Prior to that, we listened to a much wider range of musical styles on AM radio...WABC and WMCA for many in NJ. But we all just embraced the progressive FM stations like WNEW and WPLJ. That was the future of music back then.
	5:41pm Patolds: ↳ Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls) @5:25 I can only imagine that, never been on stage in front of a large crowd. From an audience POV it looks like it almost part of the show. I know that is a naive thing to say, I’m sure it’s scary as all hell
	5:44pm Franco Twinkie: Speaking of blue jays, I was out on the front porch sequencing records when one came hopping up to eat some cat food. Hi Todd!
	👻 5:44pm Bruce S.: ↳ Billybob @5:41 I'm not saying this is ridgidly true but I think urban white people were more tolerent od Disco early hip hop and Punk where as suburban White people preffered the AOR corporate Rock Sound
	5:46pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Look At All The Things" by "Neil Young with Crazy... Yes!! Danny Whitten on vocals.
	5:46pm Franco Twinkie: Hey SPG!
	5:47pm tacopizza: Yabba dabba do! What a jam. Personal favorite from George Jones.
	5:47pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Condolences to Laura and their daughter. Thanks for a touching remembrance, Todd. You give a really good sense of the whole person. Sorry for your loss.
	5:48pm MFlynn: Wow! This Rosali song is fabulous!
	5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:44 Blue jays vs. opossums throw down right after this show! Place your bets! 🥊
	5:49pm Franco Twinkie: Yup, it's zoo out there!
	👻 5:49pm Bruce S.: ↳ Bruce S. @5:44 maybe that sounded to harsh and stupid,I'm sorry if it did
	5:50pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Tougher Than The Rest" by "Emmylou Harris" Superb version...
	5:50pm Billybob: ↳ Bruce S. @5:44 You're probably right. I was a suburban white kid, but I was tired of many of my favorites. Alice Cooper was doing ballads, Deep Purple got boring, Black Sabbath was Sabotaging themselves, so punk was a breath of fresh air for me. Not disco so much. I just thought disco was mindless.
	5:51pm Destroit: Emmylou is always spectacular.
	5:52pm patrick321: ↳ Bruce S. @5:44 That was my experience, and I belonged to both groups, having grown up in western. NJ and moved to NYC in 1978..
	👻 5:54pm Bruce S.: I grew up in Brooklyn and Jersey City so I was fortunate to have alot of exposure to other musical styles
	5:55pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Bruce S. @5:44 I noted great a detest for disco music and punk. This was from people who had very little experience in the world, had never even traveled out of the little town we grew up in. I chalked it up to ignorance.
	5:55pm San Pedro Girl: *a great detest
	5:55pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd. Really appreciate it.
	5:55pm Van Winkle ;-): We 💜 live radio...truly...we do!!! ;-)
	5:56pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:46 Hi Franco!
	5:56pm Mr C: Thanks for all this Todd.
	5:56pm Ochre Ogre: Thank you Todd! Condolences to you, dear Laura, her daughter and all friends of Jeremy.
	5:57pm bigplanetnoise: Thank you, Todd.
	5:57pm San Pedro Girl: Thanks Todd.
	👻 5:57pm prof.fuzz: THX TOPT
	5:57pm listener 126464: Thanks for sharing, Todd.
	5:57pm Franco Twinkie: I will actually listen to this show in the archive. I loved Blondie back in the day.
	5:58pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Hi Patolds! Yeah it’s like an attack while you’re trying to put on as best a show that you can. We had another one while opening up for The Stranglers at Irving Plaza. They threw stuff at us and drinks(thank God we didnt get electrocuted while playing our electric guitars!) Then the next nite we had to open for them again. I said to the Band, “how are we gonna survive this?” Our brilliant lead singer came up with the solution!! She told the Band to look as “tough” as we could and no smiling. That won the crowd over. They actually wanted an encore!!
	5:58pm Regina J: Beautiful way to honor Jeremy. Thank you, Todd. All love to Laura and Bella. It’s a heartbreaking loss.
	👻 5:59pm Bruce S.: thank you Todd,beautiful show thank you everyone,have a good one
	5:59pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "There You Go" by "Johnny Cash and Tennessee Two" There it goes...another fine 3 hours of superb music & hosting. TKS as always TOPT!
	6:00pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Todd.
	6:00pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, TOPT! Great stuff! Have a great Saturday evening, all!
	6:00pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): “Thank You Todd!!!” Have a “great” nite!!!😘
