Listener comments!
	12:05am BadGuyZero: Good evening!
	12:08am Steve-O: Hi Therese! How's my favorite nighttime DJ doing? =)
	12:13am Therese: Hello!
	♥ 12:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...KoSL is not some kewl song by X I never heard ...one thing about this program being late is my tendency to get things wrong increases...
	12:25am KP: Hey, Therese!
	12:25am BadGuyZero: @RRN63: I too thought the vocals sounded a lot like John and Exene.
	12:26am KP: Medicine impresses with every dose.
	♥ 12:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...dammit - kewl trax - but I know if I try 'n' listen in my sleep - I'll prob. wake up ~3A.M. & wonder 'wtf'?!?...
	12:32am BadGuyZero: I can't think of a single Scottish band that I haven't liked. I'm sure there's one or two out there, but overall that country produces some fine bands.
	12:33am flashback: night all.
	12:33am KP: Bay City Rollers?
	12:36am Lovelace: An album title referencing Henry V, nice
	12:41am flashback: this is very interesting.
	12:43am Therese: Yup. It's the Pet Shop Boys covering Springsteen.
	12:45am Droll: BGZ, Interesting -- I'm not able to think of a crap Scotch band either. Normally Oz is my example for "land that does not produce lame bands".
	12:45am flashback: i like the springsteen cd where him and other musicians play old folk music with the original non electric music.
	12:47am Julie: ooh great song
	12:47am flashback: i mean early 19th century folk music .songs like john henry.
	12:51am BadGuyZero: For the record I have no misgivings about Bay City Rollers.
	12:54am KP: Love this. There's a great vid of them doing Make Me Smile at a festival. Emotive. THanks.
	1:00am BadGuyZero: Ok...I thought I was the only one who didn't think "Velvet Goldmine" was very good. I thought it was going to be the glam rock Goodfellas or Boogie Nights, and it just wasn't in the same league. A former roommate thought it was the greatest thing ever which is why I thought I was alone in not like it so much.
	1:01am Julie: it's all about the soundtrack
	1:06am Julie: Belieber?? it's not Belieber is it??
	1:07am BadGuyZero: Holy hell! How old is he???
	1:11am BadGuyZero: Is he building it in Puerto Nasa?
	1:14am Julie: she reminds me of nanci griffith
	1:22am KP: In that Steve Harley fest clip i had seen, the electric guitar player uses an acoustic on a stand to play the signature solo. That part of song isnt on this version.
	1:26am KP: Can you follow with Nick Drake's mother, Therese?
	1:26am Julie: Nick!!!
	1:29am KP: We want Molly Drake! Wonder if his actress sister also sang.
	1:30am KP: "We" being me and the cat, who has five lives left.
	♥ 1:31am Lonely Planet Boy: Your knowledge is deep, KP. Never knew about Nick's mom until I Googled it.
	1:37am KP: I love Nick Drake. That album has been played here quite a bit. She sounds like him in voice and approach. Too sad, even for me.
	1:39am sadlo: had to check in to be sure this wasn't Adam Duritz (counting crows)
	♥ 1:40am Lonely Planet Boy: What I love about WFMU is always learning something new, whether from the DJ, or an astute listener. Thx, KP!
	1:43am KP: For record, so to speak, his sister Gabrielle does sing on one track on a Nick Drake ablum called Family Tree. Just looked that up. Never heard of the release, have to confess.
	1:44am Julie: Who is having the two drinks? Him or us?
	1:45am Julie: Will there be Nick/Therese crossover chat?
	1:46am Therese: We'll see, Julie!
	1:48am Julie: You said that in your mom voice, didn't you
	1:49am Therese: Well, not in MY mom's voice...
	1:49am BadGuyZero: At least she didn't tell you to go ask Nick.
	1:50am Nick the Bard: WE'll see if I can get far enough along with the comic to do anything. Although, I could jsut cheat a bit and use an older one I forgot I had on this card. That's a better one. Even if it'd have to get retconned a bit :/
	1:52am BadGuyZero: @Nick: Lots of pog references?
	1:54am Nick the Bard: Not until I can get a figure of Steve Allen (I have ALF toys around my house somewhere, but Steve Allen is needed far more)
	1:55am Nick the Bard: I did go to a garage sale two years ago where some woman tried to sell me a sandwich bag of POGs for like six bucks. I couldn't put the bag down fast enough and managed to talk her down to a buck each for a Dino Riders VHS tape and a two color liquid filled pyramid thing.
	1:57am BadGuyZero: I liked at the end of the POG fad when they actually started releasing POGs that appealed to me. Star Wars, Earthworm Jim and Universal Monsters.
	2:00am BadGuyZero: Are you playing this on a Gameboy?
	2:02am Nick the Bard: I still have all of mine (kept in the first mailer tube I ever got too. I got it when the Sci-fi Book Club sent me a replacement jacket for messed one my copy of The Princess Bride had), as well as the POG maker with a bunch of blanks still. THe POG maker's blades still work too 20 years in. Now I feel all old. Dammit :/
	♥ 2:04am Lonely Planet Boy: I love this Glitz song.
	2:04am BadGuyZero: ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Made Nick the Bard feel old.
	2:06am KP: LPB, that was new to me but pretty cool/funny. Sounded current and dated at same time!
	2:07am BadGuyZero: This Jeffrey Novak track sounds like Robyn Hitchcock crossed with Ian Hunter.
	2:07am KP: Who is Jeffrey Novak? great voice.
	2:08am KP: Good comparison!
	2:11am KP: 1-2-3 ... 3!
	2:11am BadGuyZero: Tonight we dine on elf meat!
	2:13am BadGuyZero: The one guy gets older and the rest of the band stays the same age.
	2:15am Therese: @BGZ If this was Facebook, I would click like on that last comment.
	2:18am BadGuyZero: Thanks!
	2:22am KP: Thought you were returning to your Who ways with start of that one, Therese.
	2:23am KP: Entwistle came back for this one, huh?
	2:24am KP: Freefall on the 5:15!
	2:26am BadGuyZero: Got to see Melvins last weekend! Always a treat.
	2:27am KP: Seattle?
	2:36am BadGuyZero: The band I manage [Maleveller] has opened for The Sword a few times.
	2:36am Scotty Ray: wow... sludgie. Really enjoying it in Saigon
	2:46am BadGuyZero: Destruction Unit! A band that actually lives up to their name live. I hadn't seen fireworks, instruments and garbage flying through the air like that since some Crash Worship show I went to circa 1993.
	2:47am KP: VG!
	2:52am KP: See me. Feel me. Knead me.
	2:56am KP: Well thanks Therese. We like the rock.
	2:59am Steve-O: Lovely show as usual, Therese. Have a wonderful week, fellas! =)
	3:00am BadGuyZero: Great show as always, Therese! See you back here next week!
