	10:01pm Dave Mandl: Evening, all.
	10:07pm Ryab: Hello Dave.
	10:08pm Carmichael: Dave, hey there. Just got back from Lake Tahoe, glad to hear the show.
	10:08pm Dave Mandl: Hey there Ryab, Carmichael
	10:09pm Dave Mandl: @Carmichael: Very cool. How was it?
	10:09pm JakeGould: Yo. Moon almost gone in Brooklyn. DeBlasio is really screwing things up. Him and Obama.
	10:10pm Dave Mandl: @Jake: Groan.
	10:11pm Dave Mandl: I totally missed the moon, though. Can't see it from the FMU studio.
	10:12pm Carmichael: Fun, but very depleted. One of the worst droughts ever in CA. We're all praying for rain.
	10:13pm Andrew Waterloo: We went outside to watch the moon. Then the clouds all came to watch the moon too.
	10:16pm Dave Mandl: @Carmichael: Terrible. The stories about the fires are heartbreaking. And the old Sequoias.
	10:20pm HollyT: Greetings, D, folks. Happy supermoon!
	10:24pm Syd: Hiya Dave!
	10:26pm slugluv1313: All cloudy outside now :(
	10:26pm HollyT: Don't worry Dave, it was underwhelming. You didn't miss much.
	10:27pm Carmichael: Most of the Sequoias were saved, thankfully. But sadly some lives were lost in the process. Let's go look at the moon and maybe hear some Nick Drake.
	10:27pm sean: you cant see it its totaally blocked right now!
	10:27pm Dave Mandl: Hey Holly, Syd, slugluv1313, sean.
	10:27pm HollyT: Is that Tracy Thorne from Everything but the Girl?
	10:28pm Dave Mandl: Sorry the moon was disappointing/invisible. Probably depends on where you are.
	10:28pm Dave Mandl: @Holly: Right you are.
	10:29pm greyhoos: Evening, Dave.
	10:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Dumb cloud cover setting in. Just catching occasional peeks of the moon stuff.
	10:30pm Dave Mandl: Evening greyhoos, Ken.
	10:34pm Dave Mandl: Anyone recognize this guy's voice?
	10:35pm Carmichael: Ok, Wilde Flowers, Canterbury? Kevin Ayers and all that?
	10:35pm Dave Mandl: Yup! A very young Kevin Ayers.
	10:36pm HollyT: Haha, what the hell?
	10:36pm slugluv1313: oh wow Blind Man's Penis, have not heard this one in ages!
	10:37pm slugluv1313: weird, sorry for the duplicate -- have no idea how that happened!
	10:38pm Dave Mandl: @Holly: Long story. I'll tell it (not too long) on the air.
	10:39pm Dave Mandl: @slugluv1313: No duplicate, don't worry.
	10:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I have to say - watching the Moon turn red was a lot warmer in Southern California - Guten Tzag Mandlmaniacs !
	10:45pm Carmichael: See the documentary called "Off the Charts". Wonderful insight into that industry.
	10:45pm HollyT: ohhh...! I've heard about this before. I think the 365 Days project has a bunch of these, no?
	10:46pm HollyT: @carmichael--Oh! I'll look for that. :D
	10:47pm pacific standard simon: Commie moon over Seattle. Clear skies, amazingly. Live cam here: www.rt.com...
	10:47pm Carmichael: On netflix, holly.
	10:48pm melinda: Great story behind a Blind Man's Penis.
	10:49pm greyhoos: "Because it needs it explaining, otherwise it doesn't make sense." They say the worst jokes are the ones that need explaining. "Blind Man's Penis" pretty much requires the explanation. I believe Trubee said in an interview that he encountered the ad for the recording service while working a 3rd shift at a convenience store, and then decided to take advantage off the lyrics in about 3 minutes tops. Or so I read many years ago.
	10:50pm Dave Mandl: Greetings melinda, pss, RRN63.
	10:50pm Dave Mandl: @melinda: Thanks. I felt like I had to tell the whole story. Makes no sense otherwise.
	10:50pm HollyT: Thanks, carmichael
	10:51pm Carmichael: Trubee himself explains it in the first 10 minutes or so of the doc.
	10:51pm marc15: I don't see a moon out tonight
	10:52pm Dave Mandl: @Carmichael: Didn't know about that documentary. Thanks!
	10:53pm melinda: It's funny even without an explanation, but bizarre enough that explanation helps.
	10:53pm pacific standard simon: Hah... the wind blowing on the microphone of the webcam is blending with the music.
	10:54pm Dave Mandl: Next one's for you, Holly.
	10:54pm slugluv1313: i have the "Blind Man's Penis" 45 somewhere -- i believe that it has the story on the back of the sleeve, maybe even a copy of the ad for song lyrics too?
	10:55pm HollyT: All this talk about the moon just reminded me of years ago when there was talk that corporations had supposedly devised a way to project logos onto the moon. Does anyone remember that? There was this great, sadly long- defunct zine, along the lines of a very low-budget Adbusters, that had a story about it. Wish I could remember the name of that zine.
	10:58pm Dave Mandl: @slugluv1313: Wow, I've never seen that.
	10:58pm melinda: Orange moon here in Maine!
	11:00pm Dave Mandl: @melinda: Fab. I guess I'll see all the photos on Instagram tomorrow.
	11:00pm sugarwolf: I remember reading somewhere that the lyrics he sent in were "Stevie Wonder's penis" and when he got the song back it was changed to blind man.
	11:00pm Carmichael: Those guys were the real deal. If you paid up, you would get about 50 copies of your song on 45s. Surely they showed up in used record stores.
	11:00pm Dave Mandl: @Holly: I remember that. I guess they never figured out how to do it, or you'd be seeing it all the time.
	11:01pm Dave Mandl: @Carmichael: It was kind of the deal of the century. I don't think they charged all that much. They must have really cranked those records out.
	11:01pm Mr Mooney: Mrs. Carmichael!
	11:01pm greyhoos: @sugarwolf: You're right. I completely forgot that part.
	11:02pm Dave Mandl: @sugarwolf: That's right!
	11:03pm slugluv1313: @ Dave -- when i find the durned thing i will be reminded to scan it and post here! :) and omg sugarwolf is absolutely right!!! it was originally "Stevie Wonder's Penis" -- SOMEWHERE there is an article (maybe this came with the 45 too?) with a copy of that title's "rejection letter"
	11:03pm sugarwolf: I feel like I read this in RE/Search's Pranks??
	11:04pm Dave Mandl: @sugarwolf: Yeah, I think it might have been in there. But of course there was also the Song Poems CD that came out about ten years ago. Had a ton of these songs, including Trubee's.
	11:06pm Carmichael: Watch the doc. All of your questions will be answered.
	11:07pm Carmichael: They spend a lot of time on Rodd Eskelin.
	11:08pm pacific standard simon: I wonder if anyone ever sent in a "song poem" that was just a sheet of cussing.
	11:10pm Carmichael: @pss: watch. The. Doc.
	11:11pm pacific standard simon: OK, OK! Lucky I have Netflix.
	11:14pm pacific standard simon: Actually, they did list the girls' ages on the first Runaways album. A selling point, I think.
	11:21pm Dave Mandl: @pss: Hahaha. OK, point taken.
	11:21pm JakeGould: @PSS: Very creepy.
	11:22pm pacific standard simon: @Jake - Kim Fowley's middle name.
	11:24pm pacific standard simon: No, that was Alvin "Creepy" Karpis.
	11:24pm common: yip
	11:31pm JakeGould: @PSS: Kim “The Shocker” Fowley. It works.
	11:31pm pacific standard simon: I just checked -- the dragon is starting to barf the moon back up, so we WILL have a regular full moon tomorrow.
	11:32pm JakeGould: @PSS: You see! All those virgins we sacrificed worked! Something good came of it!
	11:32pm pacific standard simon: And how, Jake.
	11:33pm P-90: Nice show tonight, Dave. Per usual.
	11:34pm PMD: Too busy watching the moon to comment
	11:35pm pacific standard simon: I'm pretty sure the webcam I'm watching is turned sideways.
	11:35pm Dave Mandl: @P-90: Thanks. @PMD: You're forgiven tonight.
	11:36pm HollyT: Next month: America can, should, must, and will...BLOW UP THE MOON!
	11:39pm pacific standard simon: Poo... Off the Charts aint on Netflix no more.
	11:40pm cheri: hello dave and everybody else, better late than never, right?
	11:40pm Dave Mandl: Hi cheri. Yup.
	11:41pm HollyT: Oh, this Go Hirano piece is lovely. Right up my alley
	11:41pm JakeGould: @HollyT: Nice one! www.youtube.com...
	11:42pm HollyT: @JakeGould. Best sketch comedy show of all time!
	11:43pm HollyT: "Off the Charts" avail to rent streaming for $3.99. vimeo.com...
	11:44pm pacific standard simon: Thanks, Holly!
	11:46pm cheri: sorry for the short stay, dave but i ust wanted to pop in to say hi! night all!
	11:46pm ScottC: Zelig
	11:47pm md: zelig
	11:47pm Dave Mandl: Ugh, thank you. Of course. Zelig.
	11:47pm frenchee: I third it:ZELIG
	11:47pm ScottC: that was zilly flick
	11:48pm pacific standard simon: Hey Jake, we forgot to sacrifice one of the virgins.
	11:53pm JakeGould: @PSS: Give her a bottle of soda, a bag of chips, a “I Survived!” pin and make sure she gets that voucher that says that we’re happy with her service and we’ll be sacrificing her sometime in the future.
	11:54pm JakeGould: @PSS: Also be sure to take a picture for the “Wall of Sacrificial Virgins” we have in the lobby so other virgins can be inspired by her potential sacrifice.
	11:57pm Carmichael: Sum bitch. Check youtube?
	11:58pm HollyT: G'nite, Dave. G'nite Jake, pss, frenchee, ScottC, Carmichael. G'nite John Boy.
	11:59pm pacific standard simon: GOOD NIGHT!
	11:59pm Ike: Thanks for the sounds, Dave.
	12:00am JakeGould: Goodnight everyone!
	12:01am pacific standard simon: That old fart?
	12:01am Dave Mandl: Night, all. Have a great week.

	10:09pm Dave Mandl: @Carmichael: Very cool. How was it?
	10:09pm JakeGould: Yo. Moon almost gone in Brooklyn. DeBlasio is really screwing things up. Him and Obama.

	10:11pm Dave Mandl: I totally missed the moon, though. Can't see it from the FMU studio.
