	12:24pm V Priceless: Hope Clay is listening! Starcastle!
	12:26pm Dean: Did the best I could pledge-wise. Gonna to miss the second hour!
	12:27pm DCE: best song Foreigner ever did
	12:28pm Dean: Could I be any less articulate? "Gonna to miss..." Those two first Journey albums would fit this bill, too.
	12:28pm Rich in Washington: Far out! I remember hearing this song as a teen - I think I even taped it off the radio. I had no idea this was Foreigner
	12:28pm Artie: The sci-fi reading 12yo me sure was into this.
	12:28pm Tony Coulter: BIG, BIG THANKS to Dean and Vince from Glen Cove for their generous pledges!!
	12:28pm Brian in UK: Does Automatic Man qualify as prog?
	12:29pm DCE: one day, I'm gunna be a starrider, mannn
	12:29pm Tony Coulter: Hey Artie and DCE!!
	12:30pm DCE: you greeted me earlier, but I'll take another. Thanks!
	🥁 12:31pm listener james from westwood: Hot damn, stellar first set! Happy there are more comin'!
	12:31pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, Me too Artie. Any kind of sci-fi sounding rock song pretty muched gunned my motor back then, but was fairly limited by what I could hear on our local hard rock commercial radio station.
	12:31pm the Canterbury wood-elf: I suspect there may be some Styx heard in the next 2.5 hours. And that "Children of the Sun" song by Billy-whoever-it-was... Strangely compelling thus far.
	12:33pm ccrides: Billy Thorpe...:)O(:...
	12:33pm Dean: Sci-fi rock bent toward prog = pre-Steve Perry Journey's "Kahoutek" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBmVcKJSmYQ
	12:33pm Santos L Halper: Love the artwork Tony (and the tunes, natch)! Will we hear more bands named after others' work like Relayer? : )
	12:34pm V Priceless: fat analog synths! Woo!
	12:35pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Canterbury wood-elf and Santos L Halper!
	12:35pm DCE: you could probably do a whole set of tunes with "Warrior" in the title in this vein
	12:37pm still b/p: ...In a painted-on-the-side-of-the-van vein.
	12:37pm ccrides: Wood Elf...I don't believe 'Children of the Sun' is on any of the archived playlists???...:)O(:...
	12:37pm DCE: the best kind, s b/p
	🥁 12:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: In the vein!
	12:38pm Brian in UK: Was Children of the Sun recorded by The Misunderstood who John Peel championed?
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Turnip!! Glad to see you ride in on a snow-white steed!
	12:40pm Brian in UK: When the white eagle of the north is overhead, Make sure it does not crap on you.
	12:40pm DCE: look closer, his steed is a UNICORN
	12:40pm holland oats: tony ever heard numero's 'darkscorch canticles' comp? you may enjoy www.numerogroup.com...
	12:41pm Artie: The 'Children of the Sun' that I know was by Billy Thorpe. www.youtube.com...
	12:41pm DCE: whoa, been awhile since I've heard this one!
	🥁 12:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: snow-white steed with wings & horns & fangs & fireball-splodey mountaintop with conveniently semi-nude warrior-ess mit der feathered hairdo!
	12:42pm steve: hey Tony!
	12:42pm Tony Coulter: @ Holland Oats: Don't know that one, no. Will check post-show. Thanks!
	🥁 12:42pm listener james from westwood: My long-ago roommate was a big Rush fan, but never seemed to play stuff from this album. Rev: I need that image airburshed onto my van!
	12:42pm Rich in Washington: I can't help imagining every vocalist in this set wearing puffy sleeved shirts and frilly cuffs.
	12:42pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Steve!
	12:42pm Dean: RTD's invocation of "fireball" triggered a sudden recollection: Fireballet. I'm betting they're queued up...
	🥁 12:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: mah viking warrior cave is all plush goldenrod shag & sandalwood incense, man! ... and the collection of skulls-of-defeated-enemies in this handsome glass case, here. Next to the brown glass pedestal ashtray. Dude, use a coaster...
	12:44pm Rich in Washington: LJFW: in the late 70s/early 80s - a van with a horribly rendered painting of all four members of Van Halen used to a fairly common site in the town I grew up in. Sadly, I don't think anyone took any pictures of it.
	12:45pm Tony Coulter: BIG THANKS to Lord Steve of Brooklynshire for his generous pledge! HOO-RAY!!!
	🥁 12:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I'm on record as crying for a comeback of those vans. Seriously needed in these troubled times.
	🥁 12:45pm listener james from westwood: Don't worry. my ale is in a huge drinking-horn. No coaster required! Rich: You wonder what sort of source artwork was used, and whether the artist was up to the task. Like giving a baker a cake pattern and then getting some abhorrent fondant nightmare in return.
	12:47pm Artie: 40.media.tumblr.com...
	12:47pm Brian in UK: I must away to plunder and seek the first born gerbils of leg end.
	🥁 12:48pm listener james from westwood: Artie: Exactly. Bonus points for space T-rex and void fungi.
	12:48pm steve: if airbrushed vans are wrong, i don't want to be right
	12:49pm DCE: I used to do my own paintings on my vans...ah, youth...
	12:49pm Brian in UK: Is that gal wearing glasses. Just wondering.
	12:51pm Tony Coulter: Fare thee well, Lord Brian....
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: This show is AWESOME. Such lyrics! My brain is exploding with great ideas for what to have airbrushed on my van.
	12:53pm Brian in UK: Avalon in the rear view mirror.
	🥁 12:53pm listener james from westwood: UM, your icon would be 20 shades of awesome on at least one side of that van.
	12:53pm Rich in Washington: Artie: That pic was just wonderful! It's what 1977 me imagined my life would look like today.
	12:53pm still b/p: Some of that art style migrated from sides of vans to human skin and video/computer games, while the comic book versions seemed to get even mooooooore muscly and va-va-voluptuous.
	12:54pm Tony Coulter: Hey ho hola, Uncle Michael!
	12:54pm Dean: Bingo.
	🥁 12:55pm listener james from westwood: Good point, still b/p. There's a continuum from pulp magazines to sword/sorcery comics to game box and ad artwork. Lots of detailed "analogue" painting in that era before Wacom tablets and such. Heh, quoting a bit of Bond here, they are.
	12:55pm Rich in Washington: The tattoo thing is really something else. In my day, the only people who had tattoos where prison lifers, bikers, fry cooks who did their stint in the navy, serial killers - in about that order.
	12:57pm V Priceless: ahh..images of flocked black light posters past come rushing back....(who am I kidding? I still have 'em!)
	🥁 12:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: jeezus i'm craving a pinball fix now.
	12:58pm Kay: Not just a great Foreigner song, but a rare lead vocal by guitarist Mick Jones. He wa in Spooky Tooth with dreamweaver Gary Wright, and also played on albums by Peter Frampton (1972's Wind of Change) and George Harrison (1974's Dark Horse). Of course Lou Gramm had to add his vocal histrionics to the break.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Gorgar!
	🥁 12:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HELL YES Gorgar. Me Champion.
	12:59pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Kay!!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: I love Starrider. The lyrics are glorious. I felt like I was so much more awesome than I really am while that was playing.
	1:01pm Dean: Anybody else hear Van der Graaf Generator's "Theme One" in the melody of this Fireballet tune?
	1:06pm V Priceless: @ Dean - I thought so, yep!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Who wants to be in my new band Mandible.
	🥁 1:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: a good friend & collaborator had a band in SC called Mandible. It wasn't all painted-van material, but they could certainly go there, in a pinch...
	1:11pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle Michael! Proof of your awesomeness shall be forever forged in that Loss Leaders marathon session, in case anyone would dare doubt it! I'm in if you need bass guitar and/or 'tron : )
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: Ok, I'm guessing "Trident" and "Chariot" are taken too.
	1:13pm Dean: Lovely. GB's spinning and I'm out of earshot of speakers.
	1:13pm V Priceless: how about "The Heavy Relics"?
	1:14pm Dean: How about "Tiara" or "Feather Boa"?
	1:15pm Dean: "Van Hailin'"?
	1:15pm DCE: only if it's got a big shot of glam in it, dean
	1:17pm Tony Coulter: By the by, Zoldar & Clark = Japser Wrath
	1:17pm Tony Coulter: er, "Jasper Wrath"
	🥁 1:18pm listener james from westwood: V Priceless, hell YES to the 6-hour Loss Leaderama.
	1:21pm the Canterbury wood-elf: Alas, the Elf must away...back to my woodland grotto. Stay ye tunèd, indeed!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Van Hailin'? I better check my deductible.
	1:23pm Tony Coulter: Safe journey, good elf of Canterbury....
	1:23pm Dean: An accent aigu in Elf's farewell, the very quintessence of prog. And the word "quintessence," too.
	1:25pm Tony Coulter: So, we had a very nice and much-appreciated mini-burst of pledges during the first hour. Now all is quiet, quiet. Let's bring the good times back! Pledge for station, stream, and liege!!
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: Maybe they liked your early work...before you sold out. KIDDING!
	1:28pm Dean: Er, all is quiet ... because it's a SILENT fundraiser!
	1:29pm Tony Coulter: @ Uncle Michael: I sold out -- and I still didn't get the groupies.
	🥁 1:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Well look at that groupie, with the warrior who sold out; she can't even stand up straight. Probably suffers lower-back pain from all that warrior-idolizing & cringing-from-demons on windswept mountains.
	1:32pm DCE: it's a tough line of work, indeed
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: My band will be called "CRINGE." I'll get to work on the logo...because that's the most important thing.
	1:33pm Tony Coulter: @ Turnip: She must be chilly, too, on that wind-swept plain without any clothes on.
	1:34pm Doug Schulkind: Wow. Wow. Tony's show is only $163 away reaching 100% of the goal for this year's silent fundraiser. Hit the goal NOW and take the pressure OFF!
	1:35pm still b/p: She wears the all-conditions bead belt.
	🥁 1:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: 'cuz if your mountain scene ain't wind-swept, it ain't SQUAT.
	1:47pm V Priceless: Kramdenesque album title by Clicker, huh? Though 'Kranmar' would have suited their sound better, IMO.
	1:49pm DCE: I believe this was a CLE-based band, Tony? I had a friend who had a friend who played in the band way back.
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: @ V Priceless: They started out as wiseass Zappa/Hampton Band–esque freaks. Guess that album title was a holdover.
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: @ DCE: Cleveland sounds right, yes. Zon, on now, were Canadian.
	🥁 1:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: pew! pew!
	1:55pm Dean: Timo Laine? Symphonic Slam? Pretty please?
	🥁 1:55pm listener james from westwood: Liz Berg surely would approve of the laser SFX during this show.
	1:55pm Tony Coulter: The Intrusion album on now has quite a cover: www.discogs.com...
	1:56pm ccrides: The Jasper Wrath was probably circa 1977???...:)O(:...
	🥁 1:57pm Rev. Turnip Druid: those were pew-pews of approval, not critical pew-pews. ... as if it needed to be said.
	1:57pm Tony Coulter: @ Dean: I do have the first Symphonic Slam album, but, if truth be told it's in pretty bad shape -- so, that'll have to wait for another day.
	1:58pm Tony Coulter: @ ccrides: Yep, you're probably right!
	1:58pm DCE: the album cover is an intrusion on my sensibilities
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: It's glorious.
	2:02pm steve: i sure got my moneys worth with todays show. can't believe there's a whole nother hour of this goodness!
	🥁 2:03pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ooh. this.
	🥁 2:04pm Rev. Turnip Druid: The sandalwood is kicking in.
	2:05pm Rich in Washington: Crazy!
	2:05pm V Priceless: VOIV..oops!!
	🥁 2:06pm Rev. Turnip Druid: VP: hah!
	2:08pm V Priceless: @ Rev - that was Epic!
	🥁 2:09pm listener james from westwood: I keep imagining what Ronnie James Dio would do with this Locust cut.
	2:09pm Tony Coulter: Hey!! Let's get some pledges coming in during the last epic hour!! Any bit helps the station in its cosmic quest for truth and beauty.
	🥁 2:15pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Pitch mod-wheel! Go-go-go!
	2:17pm V Priceless: this has 'Clay Pigeon' transcribed all over it!
	2:18pm Dean: I wonder if there's a pre-21st century prog band called Prius.
	2:20pm Tony Coulter: Ides of March: not just about vehicles, Prius or otherwise.
	2:20pm Dean: This is the "Vehicle" group?
	2:21pm Tony Coulter: Yep!
	2:21pm Dean: Great Caesar's ghost!
	2:22pm V Priceless: nice little bit of synchronicity there, Dean and Tony!
	2:23pm Rich in Washington: Not to dis da DIO - but I've often wondered is some of his metal-era vocal style was influenced by Peter Hammill's VDGG work. (that might be the rock dorkiest question I've ever posed)
	2:26pm V Priceless: @ Rich - I hold fast to the belief that PH has always been a cornerstone for other heavy music, be it 'metal', 'hard rock' or even punk.
	2:27pm Dean: Speaking of Caesar, I thought perhaps we'd hear Public Foot the Roman today, but they're British.
	2:27pm Tony Coulter: Yep -- no Brits allowed.
	2:32pm Tony Coulter: BIG THANKS to Clay from Portland for his generous pledge!!
	2:35pm Dean: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Elf
	2:38pm Tony Coulter: Elf Park almost seems like too perfect a name to be real ... but it is!
	2:39pm V Priceless: Be-Bop Deluxish
	2:39pm Tony Coulter: Wonder if the drummer mixed this track....
	2:41pm Dean: With the organ solo we witness the inspiration for the name.
	2:43pm Tony Coulter: Too bad they're not from Kentucky.
	2:44pm Tony Coulter: HEY!! Only 16 minutes left!! Howz'about a last-minute pledge, anybody? Would be mucho appreciated!!
	2:48pm V Priceless: Stellar program, Tony! Me and my Roland Space Echo thank you!
	2:48pm Tony Coulter: NB: Next week's show will consist of nothing but 7" records.
	2:49pm Tony Coulter: Yer welcome, V Priceless!
	2:51pm Stanley: Nice, Tony. Thanks Would love a British prog show one day.
	2:52pm Doug Schulkind: $38 gets Tony to 75%! $75 gets Tony to, like, a gazillion percent!
	2:53pm Tony Coulter: YES! A last-minute pledge would be a great thing!!
	2:57pm DCE: what a trip today, Tony!
	2:58pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, DCE! And thanks, all, for showing up! See you next week for the all-singles show!
	🥁 2:59pm listener james from westwood: Many many thanks, Tony, one for the record books!
	3:00pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, James! Sayonara, ev'body!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: thanks, Tony!!
	3:01pm Brian in UK: PHEW

	12:33pm Dean: Sci-fi rock bent toward prog = pre-Steve Perry Journey's "Kahoutek" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBmVcKJSmYQ
	12:33pm Santos L Halper: Love the artwork Tony (and the tunes, natch)! Will we hear more bands named after others' work like Relayer? : )
	12:34pm V Priceless: fat analog synths! Woo!
	12:35pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Canterbury wood-elf and Santos L Halper!
	12:35pm DCE: you could probably do a whole set of tunes with "Warrior" in the title in this vein
	12:37pm still b/p: ...In a painted-on-the-side-of-the-van vein.
	12:37pm ccrides: Wood Elf...I don't believe 'Children of the Sun' is on any of the archived playlists???...:)O(:...
	12:37pm DCE: the best kind, s b/p
	🥁 12:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: In the vein!
	12:38pm Brian in UK: Was Children of the Sun recorded by The Misunderstood who John Peel championed?
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Turnip!! Glad to see you ride in on a snow-white steed!
	12:40pm Brian in UK: When the white eagle of the north is overhead, Make sure it does not crap on you.
	12:40pm DCE: look closer, his steed is a UNICORN
	12:40pm holland oats: tony ever heard numero's 'darkscorch canticles' comp? you may enjoy www.numerogroup.com...
	12:41pm Artie: The 'Children of the Sun' that I know was by Billy Thorpe. www.youtube.com...
	12:41pm DCE: whoa, been awhile since I've heard this one!
	🥁 12:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: snow-white steed with wings & horns & fangs & fireball-splodey mountaintop with conveniently semi-nude warrior-ess mit der feathered hairdo!
	12:42pm steve: hey Tony!
	12:42pm Tony Coulter: @ Holland Oats: Don't know that one, no. Will check post-show. Thanks!
	🥁 12:42pm listener james from westwood: My long-ago roommate was a big Rush fan, but never seemed to play stuff from this album. Rev: I need that image airburshed onto my van!
	12:42pm Rich in Washington: I can't help imagining every vocalist in this set wearing puffy sleeved shirts and frilly cuffs.
	12:42pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Steve!
	12:42pm Dean: RTD's invocation of "fireball" triggered a sudden recollection: Fireballet. I'm betting they're queued up...
	🥁 12:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: mah viking warrior cave is all plush goldenrod shag & sandalwood incense, man! ... and the collection of skulls-of-defeated-enemies in this handsome glass case, here. Next to the brown glass pedestal ashtray. Dude, use a coaster...
	12:44pm Rich in Washington: LJFW: in the late 70s/early 80s - a van with a horribly rendered painting of all four members of Van Halen used to a fairly common site in the town I grew up in. Sadly, I don't think anyone took any pictures of it.
	12:45pm Tony Coulter: BIG THANKS to Lord Steve of Brooklynshire for his generous pledge! HOO-RAY!!!
	🥁 12:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I'm on record as crying for a comeback of those vans. Seriously needed in these troubled times.
	🥁 12:45pm listener james from westwood: Don't worry. my ale is in a huge drinking-horn. No coaster required! Rich: You wonder what sort of source artwork was used, and whether the artist was up to the task. Like giving a baker a cake pattern and then getting some abhorrent fondant nightmare in return.
	12:47pm Artie: 40.media.tumblr.com...
	12:47pm Brian in UK: I must away to plunder and seek the first born gerbils of leg end.
	🥁 12:48pm listener james from westwood: Artie: Exactly. Bonus points for space T-rex and void fungi.
	12:48pm steve: if airbrushed vans are wrong, i don't want to be right
	12:49pm DCE: I used to do my own paintings on my vans...ah, youth...
	12:49pm Brian in UK: Is that gal wearing glasses. Just wondering.
	12:51pm Tony Coulter: Fare thee well, Lord Brian....
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: This show is AWESOME. Such lyrics! My brain is exploding with great ideas for what to have airbrushed on my van.
	12:53pm Brian in UK: Avalon in the rear view mirror.
	🥁 12:53pm listener james from westwood: UM, your icon would be 20 shades of awesome on at least one side of that van.
	12:53pm Rich in Washington: Artie: That pic was just wonderful! It's what 1977 me imagined my life would look like today.
	12:53pm still b/p: Some of that art style migrated from sides of vans to human skin and video/computer games, while the comic book versions seemed to get even mooooooore muscly and va-va-voluptuous.
	12:54pm Tony Coulter: Hey ho hola, Uncle Michael!
	12:54pm Dean: Bingo.
	🥁 12:55pm listener james from westwood: Good point, still b/p. There's a continuum from pulp magazines to sword/sorcery comics to game box and ad artwork. Lots of detailed "analogue" painting in that era before Wacom tablets and such. Heh, quoting a bit of Bond here, they are.
	12:55pm Rich in Washington: The tattoo thing is really something else. In my day, the only people who had tattoos where prison lifers, bikers, fry cooks who did their stint in the navy, serial killers - in about that order.
	12:57pm V Priceless: ahh..images of flocked black light posters past come rushing back....(who am I kidding? I still have 'em!)
	🥁 12:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: jeezus i'm craving a pinball fix now.
	12:58pm Kay: Not just a great Foreigner song, but a rare lead vocal by guitarist Mick Jones. He wa in Spooky Tooth with dreamweaver Gary Wright, and also played on albums by Peter Frampton (1972's Wind of Change) and George Harrison (1974's Dark Horse). Of course Lou Gramm had to add his vocal histrionics to the break.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Gorgar!
	🥁 12:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HELL YES Gorgar. Me Champion.
	12:59pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Kay!!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: I love Starrider. The lyrics are glorious. I felt like I was so much more awesome than I really am while that was playing.
	1:01pm Dean: Anybody else hear Van der Graaf Generator's "Theme One" in the melody of this Fireballet tune?
	1:06pm V Priceless: @ Dean - I thought so, yep!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Who wants to be in my new band Mandible.
	🥁 1:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: a good friend & collaborator had a band in SC called Mandible. It wasn't all painted-van material, but they could certainly go there, in a pinch...
	1:11pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle Michael! Proof of your awesomeness shall be forever forged in that Loss Leaders marathon session, in case anyone would dare doubt it! I'm in if you need bass guitar and/or 'tron : )
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: Ok, I'm guessing "Trident" and "Chariot" are taken too.
	1:13pm Dean: Lovely. GB's spinning and I'm out of earshot of speakers.
	1:13pm V Priceless: how about "The Heavy Relics"?
	1:14pm Dean: How about "Tiara" or "Feather Boa"?
	1:15pm Dean: "Van Hailin'"?
	1:15pm DCE: only if it's got a big shot of glam in it, dean
	1:17pm Tony Coulter: By the by, Zoldar & Clark = Japser Wrath
	1:17pm Tony Coulter: er, "Jasper Wrath"
	🥁 1:18pm listener james from westwood: V Priceless, hell YES to the 6-hour Loss Leaderama.
	1:21pm the Canterbury wood-elf: Alas, the Elf must away...back to my woodland grotto. Stay ye tunèd, indeed!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Van Hailin'? I better check my deductible.
	1:23pm Tony Coulter: Safe journey, good elf of Canterbury....
	1:23pm Dean: An accent aigu in Elf's farewell, the very quintessence of prog. And the word "quintessence," too.
	1:25pm Tony Coulter: So, we had a very nice and much-appreciated mini-burst of pledges during the first hour. Now all is quiet, quiet. Let's bring the good times back! Pledge for station, stream, and liege!!
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: Maybe they liked your early work...before you sold out. KIDDING!
	1:28pm Dean: Er, all is quiet ... because it's a SILENT fundraiser!
	1:29pm Tony Coulter: @ Uncle Michael: I sold out -- and I still didn't get the groupies.
	🥁 1:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Well look at that groupie, with the warrior who sold out; she can't even stand up straight. Probably suffers lower-back pain from all that warrior-idolizing & cringing-from-demons on windswept mountains.
	1:32pm DCE: it's a tough line of work, indeed
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: My band will be called "CRINGE." I'll get to work on the logo...because that's the most important thing.
	1:33pm Tony Coulter: @ Turnip: She must be chilly, too, on that wind-swept plain without any clothes on.
	1:34pm Doug Schulkind: Wow. Wow. Tony's show is only $163 away reaching 100% of the goal for this year's silent fundraiser. Hit the goal NOW and take the pressure OFF!
	1:35pm still b/p: She wears the all-conditions bead belt.
	🥁 1:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: 'cuz if your mountain scene ain't wind-swept, it ain't SQUAT.
	1:47pm V Priceless: Kramdenesque album title by Clicker, huh? Though 'Kranmar' would have suited their sound better, IMO.
	1:49pm DCE: I believe this was a CLE-based band, Tony? I had a friend who had a friend who played in the band way back.
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: @ V Priceless: They started out as wiseass Zappa/Hampton Band–esque freaks. Guess that album title was a holdover.
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: @ DCE: Cleveland sounds right, yes. Zon, on now, were Canadian.
	🥁 1:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: pew! pew!
	1:55pm Dean: Timo Laine? Symphonic Slam? Pretty please?
	🥁 1:55pm listener james from westwood: Liz Berg surely would approve of the laser SFX during this show.
	1:55pm Tony Coulter: The Intrusion album on now has quite a cover: www.discogs.com...
	1:56pm ccrides: The Jasper Wrath was probably circa 1977???...:)O(:...
	🥁 1:57pm Rev. Turnip Druid: those were pew-pews of approval, not critical pew-pews. ... as if it needed to be said.
	1:57pm Tony Coulter: @ Dean: I do have the first Symphonic Slam album, but, if truth be told it's in pretty bad shape -- so, that'll have to wait for another day.
	1:58pm Tony Coulter: @ ccrides: Yep, you're probably right!
	1:58pm DCE: the album cover is an intrusion on my sensibilities
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: It's glorious.
	2:02pm steve: i sure got my moneys worth with todays show. can't believe there's a whole nother hour of this goodness!
	🥁 2:03pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ooh. this.
	🥁 2:04pm Rev. Turnip Druid: The sandalwood is kicking in.
	2:05pm Rich in Washington: Crazy!
	2:05pm V Priceless: VOIV..oops!!
	🥁 2:06pm Rev. Turnip Druid: VP: hah!
	2:08pm V Priceless: @ Rev - that was Epic!
	🥁 2:09pm listener james from westwood: I keep imagining what Ronnie James Dio would do with this Locust cut.
	2:09pm Tony Coulter: Hey!! Let's get some pledges coming in during the last epic hour!! Any bit helps the station in its cosmic quest for truth and beauty.
	🥁 2:15pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Pitch mod-wheel! Go-go-go!
	2:17pm V Priceless: this has 'Clay Pigeon' transcribed all over it!
	2:18pm Dean: I wonder if there's a pre-21st century prog band called Prius.
	2:20pm Tony Coulter: Ides of March: not just about vehicles, Prius or otherwise.
	2:20pm Dean: This is the "Vehicle" group?
	2:21pm Tony Coulter: Yep!
	2:21pm Dean: Great Caesar's ghost!
	2:22pm V Priceless: nice little bit of synchronicity there, Dean and Tony!
	2:23pm Rich in Washington: Not to dis da DIO - but I've often wondered is some of his metal-era vocal style was influenced by Peter Hammill's VDGG work. (that might be the rock dorkiest question I've ever posed)
	2:26pm V Priceless: @ Rich - I hold fast to the belief that PH has always been a cornerstone for other heavy music, be it 'metal', 'hard rock' or even punk.
	2:27pm Dean: Speaking of Caesar, I thought perhaps we'd hear Public Foot the Roman today, but they're British.
	2:27pm Tony Coulter: Yep -- no Brits allowed.
	2:32pm Tony Coulter: BIG THANKS to Clay from Portland for his generous pledge!!
	2:35pm Dean: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Elf
	2:38pm Tony Coulter: Elf Park almost seems like too perfect a name to be real ... but it is!
	2:39pm V Priceless: Be-Bop Deluxish
	2:39pm Tony Coulter: Wonder if the drummer mixed this track....
	2:41pm Dean: With the organ solo we witness the inspiration for the name.
	2:43pm Tony Coulter: Too bad they're not from Kentucky.
	2:44pm Tony Coulter: HEY!! Only 16 minutes left!! Howz'about a last-minute pledge, anybody? Would be mucho appreciated!!
	2:48pm V Priceless: Stellar program, Tony! Me and my Roland Space Echo thank you!
	2:48pm Tony Coulter: NB: Next week's show will consist of nothing but 7" records.
	2:49pm Tony Coulter: Yer welcome, V Priceless!
	2:51pm Stanley: Nice, Tony. Thanks Would love a British prog show one day.
	2:52pm Doug Schulkind: $38 gets Tony to 75%! $75 gets Tony to, like, a gazillion percent!
	2:53pm Tony Coulter: YES! A last-minute pledge would be a great thing!!
	2:57pm DCE: what a trip today, Tony!
	2:58pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, DCE! And thanks, all, for showing up! See you next week for the all-singles show!
	🥁 2:59pm listener james from westwood: Many many thanks, Tony, one for the record books!
	3:00pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, James! Sayonara, ev'body!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: thanks, Tony!!
	3:01pm Brian in UK: PHEW
