Listener comments!
	12:04pm Cecile: YES
	12:05pm Cecile: Here's Will Ferrell's pitch perfect rip on this.
	12:06pm Cecile: www.youtube.com...
	12:06pm Caryn: This makes me want to watch the KITH and SNL parodies.
	12:07pm chris: Hi there.
	12:07pm Dean: Is this death metal? Grindcore? Black metal?
	12:07pm Andrew Waterloo: This is Viking Metal
	12:08pm Cecile: I didn't know this, but the "peace on earth" melody came about because Bowie flat out refused to sing Little Drummer Boy and only did it because of his mum. nice.
	12:09pm Polyus: Merry Christmas Diane!
	12:10pm Blinda: hahaha this is Nu Metal
	12:10pm Caryn: The other parody to enjoy after watching Celine's link: www.youtube.com...
	12:11pm MD: Good Afternoon East Coast...Happy Thursday...Land of Freeform...
	12:12pm V Priceless: Hey Diane. If the mood hits you, would dig hearing 'Panic In Detroit'...otherwise, ROCK me back to the Stone Age...been that kinda week. Cheers...
	12:12pm common: good to hear you, diane!
	12:13pm Stevel: Protomartyr is perfect, Diane.
	12:14pm V Priceless: hey common...we need to ketchup
	12:14pm Dean: This is suicide by comment, but Blues Pills started out sounding just a wee too much like Adele.
	12:16pm chris: Dean: Hello.
	12:17pm common: we do, vp. heavy week.
	12:18pm Dean: I've developed a whole routine around that song when the family plays it in the car. Adele says, "Hello?," and I reply, "Hello." Etc.
	12:22pm sphere: hello folks
	12:22pm Cecile: I like Adele, but I don't like that one much.
	12:26pm Diane Kamikaze: I don't think I've ever actually heard Adele. You could be riight, Dean! Hello all. I am at a loss at what to say about the loss of David Bowie. After this mic break I am playing Diamond Dogs straight through, and maybe one other song during the show. There have been many great tributes on the station and I started off by making a list of songs, which easily went over 8 hours, let alone 3, then I went with decades and still couldn't shave anything down. I feel that Diamond Dogs is a great representation as one piece that flows and encompasses so much, just as a glimpse into what he was capable of at a single point in time. That Is All. xo
	12:27pm Dean: I can take or leave. On first hearing it, the latest album struck me as owing something to Roxy Music, not that she intended it. But I tire of the Nirvana-like melodrama, the weary mumble followed by a stentorian bellow.
	12:27pm Dean: The entire DD album? That's a perfect solution!
	12:28pm Blinda: Thanks Diane. I feel like we are all shocked and heartbroken.
	12:28pm Cecile: I like the singles. I don't know if I could sit through an entire Adele album. It would just make me miss Amy Winehouse more.
	12:29pm Cheri Pi: Heeeeeeeeeeeeer [after a gruelling 2 hour meeting that I thought was only one hour] punish my ears. make me forget.
	12:29pm JCMike: I always felt Dogs ate Ziggy for breakfast.
	12:30pm Blinda: I am having a hard time even processing the facts that he was nearly 70, or that he was mortal.
	12:31pm Cecile: what a life!
	12:31pm Blinda: @ Cecile I just listened to Frank again this week. if you don't want to miss her more don't be like me.
	12:32pm Dean: You can say that again. I watched the two hour Lemmy funeral on Sunday night, woke up Monday to get the news. Before that Bley, Boulez... It all makes perfect mathematical and biological sense, but crap.
	12:33pm InBrkly: My favourite comment was something like: I wasn't ready for this, I guess i assumed he was immortal....
	12:33pm V Priceless: Wow DK - how freakin' cool - a fitting tribute indeed - THANK YOU - THANK YOU for playing this...
	12:33pm Cecile: Can't do that. I have Back to Black Diane if this makes you feel better, I've seen tons of comments like "I am 14 and just discovered him. He's awesome."
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this album was spooky & heavy when I was 10 years old...
	12:34pm Cecile: I mean back to black on my ipod shuffle playlist.
	12:34pm Stevel: First heard Diamond Dogs visiting my grandparents house. My uncle lived there as well and introduced me to many bands, including Elton John, Black Oak Arkansas, and David Bowie. Most afternoons, little was happening, so I'd have the run of the record cabinet. The DD album cover was an unusual image to process as a 13-year-old, much less the opening screed (which I'd already memorized via Creem magazine. Off to listen... and thank you.
	12:34pm ron in S FL: I'm getting chills hearing this Future Legend intro, just like the first time I heard it.
	12:34pm Polyus: Diane is the first DJ I have heard touch something like All Saints this week, nice touch.
	12:35pm V Priceless: flashback for me: begging the Record World clerk to give me the giant 'Diamond Dogs' promo poster - I still have it. Don't know how I pulled that one off...
	12:36pm Dean: I remember checking out the LP from my high school library.
	12:39pm V Priceless: pretty sure this is the only Bowie record where he pretty much plays all the guitar parts, except for '1984'...
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Really!
	12:40pm curlee59: "having so much fun with the poisonous people" love Diamond Dogs!
	12:43pm V Priceless: check that: Earl Slick on 'Rock & Roll w/Me'; Alan Parker on '1984'
	12:45pm Cecile: he was so young when he made this record.
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He was denied using '1984' straight-out by the Orwell estate a bit like he himself denied Todd Haynes material for 'Velvet Goldmine' - & I think they were both better for it. 27 years old?
	12:48pm Cecile: 25 - but so polished and mature
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just - just - Genius.
	12:49pm V Priceless: jeebus...this is so f*cking epic
	12:50pm Stevel: Playing the full album was a strong choice.
	12:51pm V Priceless: this is not so much a record as it is a landscape
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - putting Concept & Pop together - he's It.
	12:51pm coelacanth: hi Diane and others
	12:52pm jljl: I'm horning in on FMU shows again but since no one can get enough Bowie this week, I wanted to mention that there are several tributes on WMBR. Including my show at 10AM today where I dug fairly deep (anyone else have the Bump and Grind bootleg?) and managed not to repeat the other folks. Archives are up for 2 weeks if you're interested: wmbr.org...
	12:53pm V Priceless: welcome, fishy
	12:54pm Diane Kamikaze: @VP: EXACTLY!
	12:55pm coelacanth: hey V!
	12:58pm coelacanth: i'm so glad to be here now. i was expecting to have no wfmu all day today. my commitments shifted to tomorrow.
	1:00pm TehBadDr: More tribute, thanx Diane.
	1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Self-produced of course. A transitional album; I find wigkey worth reading: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:04pm DreamCricket: Gorgeous, daymaker!
	1:04pm V Priceless: herbie flowers is just nuts!
	1:07pm Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES.
	1:09pm coelacanth: Cecile,@12:28 (to use a fashionable phrase) Adele is "the poor person's" Amy Winehouse". (except,not even)
	1:10pm Cecile: I think she has potential, but I hope it's not stymied by her huge record sales.
	1:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nothing else sounds like this.
	1:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: yay, th'chant...
	1:11pm V Priceless: woo!
	1:11pm coelacanth: this is so good! Bill Mac is right, V.
	1:12pm Dean: FWIW, David Hidalgo plays on Adele's record.
	1:12pm V Priceless: infinity jukebox!
	1:13pm coelacanth: Diane knows what's up.
	1:14pm V Priceless: just plain brilliant, DK
	1:16pm ron in S FL: The Never Ending Skeletal Family, love it!
	1:16pm PJ: I am not the biggest Bowie fan, but his death affected me more than I would have expected. His music, at its best, expressed, in a very striking way, discontentment with and alienation from modern society, the resulting melancholy, and a tenacious romanticism seeking another way of living. His personas are all outsiders, even when they're insiders, a way of making those inside society (all of us, to some degree) notice the problem. You've got five years until the end of the world, what are you going to do with it?
	1:16pm V Priceless: haha, fish! glad you are hearing this!
	1:17pm weehawk: !!
	1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's 'Disguises' by TheWh♂ in there - SydBarrett - the Velvets & doors: he was a summation taking it to the next place...
	1:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Scott Walker & Jaques Brel - Warhol & Burroughs - it's - inestimable...
	1:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Interesting how close the Skeletal Family comes to some Bob Calvert chant tunes (storm chant of the skraelings from Lucky Leif, etc) -- ok, nerd moment over. For now.
	1:18pm coelacanth: V i'm cracking up over here!
	1:19pm sphere: PJ, your remarks remind me of that old 80s MTV interview with Bowie where he harassed them for refusing to air black artists.
	1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He took years to break, & then became one of the richest. We'll have forever to try to sum it up.
	1:21pm coelacanth: okay i normally don't star songs that i have my own copy of, but...mine's not like this!
	1:22pm paul b: My friend Nancy (now Micaela) used to like this Ever circling skeleton song. Here's looking at you kid
	1:27pm Rich in Washington: this might be the best Bowie radio tribute ever so far.
	1:28pm V Priceless: YAY!!! Woo Woo!!! Man, I needed this...thanks, DK!
	1:28pm coelacanth: Diane has another 1-1/2 hours!
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: I am due to do radio tonight but suspect I am nearing the edge of people wanting to hear Bowie but still feel compelled to do so, because of what Bowie meant to me, still means to me, etc..
	1:29pm SeanG: shake it up shake it up!
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: Whoop whoop!
	1:30pm rw: Brother!
	1:31pm Don S: Only 90 minutes left!
	1:31pm coelacanth: Rich, there are still lots of less-known Bowie tracks that i haven't heard this week.
	1:31pm Rich in Washington: DON'T STOP!!!
	1:32pm coelacanth: Thanks Diane!! that was exhilarating!
	1:32pm Dean: Evidently there was once a rumor of a locked groove ending to the DD LP: https://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/chant-of-the-ever-circling-skeletal-family/
	1:32pm paul b: "the Sun Machine is going down - we're gonna have a party!"
	1:33pm Jibolo: Wow, just, wow...Thank you, DK!
	1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kewl as hell.
	1:33pm V Priceless: what fish and paul b said....plus cathartic!
	👻 1:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: I am listening to WFMU and I approve of this message.
	1:35pm coelacanth: not far under the surface of his marketing genius was musical genius.
	1:36pm V Priceless: can we change "amen" to "abowie"?
	1:38pm coelacanth: ha! just do it! -some day no one will know what "amen" meant.
	1:39pm Rich in Washington: God! I'd plumb forgotten about Smack! This song, Run Rabbit Run.
	1:43pm jljl: Rich in Wash: Don't forget Pass that Bottle
	1:50pm common: ah, wire. abowie.
	1:50pm Rich in Washington: V
	1:51pm Chris from DC: VOIVOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	1:51pm common: vv
	1:51pm PKNY: VVVVOOOOOOIIIIIIIIVVVVVOOOOOODDDDDDDD!
	1:52pm V Priceless: ha @ com! Cool! I was hoping for 'Angel Rat' V today!
	1:52pm Cecile: VOIVOD!
	👻 1:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Voivod! !! !!! Where you been at? ?? ???
	1:53pm coelacanth: Ha! i was just going to remind you it's been 3 weeks!
	1:54pm coelacanth: ...and, VVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODD!
	1:54pm sphere: Does anyone else like Tin Machine? I love the first album, especially "Heaven's In Here."
	1:55pm V Priceless: @ sphere - love TM
	1:55pm Stevel: I liked the first Tin Machine album very much. Second was OK too. Good songs.
	1:57pm coelacanth: tin machine familiarisation is near the top of my to do list.
	1:59pm Chris from DC: Always had a soft spot for "Cat People".
	1:59pm V Priceless: I could watch Hunt Sales play drums all day long
	1:59pm chris: meow
	2:04pm Cecile: sneak in Queen Bitch.
	2:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Manatees are all soft-spots. Look at 'em.
	2:14pm Andrew Waterloo: Right now I am picturing a manatee on a couch with a Motorhead shirt and a Hookah.
	2:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: That's the life.
	2:20pm Dean: @Andrew: Who is the antecedent of the subordinate clause? You or the manatee?
	2:21pm sphere: Dean, my guess is that the manatee is the antecedent.
	2:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Everyone needs an Auntie Manatee. In motörhead shirt.
	2:23pm sphere: Manatees were probably the original mermaids.
	2:23pm Cecile: you gotta love a guy who has a Comus tattoo.
	2:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Is this Steven-Wilson-produced Opeth? Time to fetch the tranquilizer darts?
	2:25pm Cecile: It is, but I like this record.
	2:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: almost an early masters-of-reality vocal there for a minute.
	2:30pm Chris from DC: Yay, Sannhet. Great live.
	2:38pm Rich in Washington: :D:E:A:D::M:O:O:N:!!!
	2:39pm DreamCricket: YEAHHH!!!!
	2:47pm Polyus: I just had to resort to Barnes & Noble to find a copy of Blackstar. Know my shame.
	2:48pm johnk77: pinkish black= comments color scheme?
	2:49pm Rich in Washington: I bought mine at Target. It felt weird. I haven't bought a new CD in quite a while. I went in thinking they might have it on vinyl (some Targets have a limited record section) but ended up buying it on CD.
	2:51pm InBrkly: I think Tin Machine was my first CD purchase actually...from Tower Records
	2:51pm InBrkly: The Barnes & Noble next to me ditched their music aisle and replaced it with educational (?) toys
	2:51pm V Priceless: @ Polyus: B & N has pretty good CD prices - I bet you paid $ 9.50 for that? Scored a bunch of stuff there around the holidaze for $ 4.99, including 1st Captain Beyond, Blue Cheer, etc.! Go figure!
	2:55pm common: off to work like a jerk. thanks for the rock! have good days!
	2:56pm Dean: Damn, VP, my B&N (which is also, I strongly suspect, InBrkly's) removed the CD inventory quite a while ago. I used to haunt the Tower Records stores in SoCal as a matter of habit. After moving north, I'd visit the one in Berkeley on Durant. Funny how when my shopping there declined the chain tanked. There is now in Albany (near Berkeley) a vinyl store, just opened this week, Strictly Vinyl. Hope to visit soon.
	2:57pm chris: see ya common! Thanks, Diane!
	2:58pm InBrkly: Oh cool I'll have to check that out. I usually go to Mod Lang near the Albany/El Cerrito Barnes & Noble.
	2:59pm V Priceless: phew - thanks for a great show, Diane, and for really knocking it outta the park for DB...as difficult as it may be to come to terms with the 'David Bowie RIP' atop the playlist, we shall overcome...with ROCK & ROLL!
	3:00pm Dean: @InBrkly: Mod Lang is pretty cool. See also Dave's on San Pablo just south of Dwight.
	3:00pm Dean: Strictly Vinyl, btw, is on Solano west of San Pablo, next door to Subway.
	3:04pm coelacanth: Thanks Diane!
	8:59am slugluv1313: THANK YOU, Diane -- Diamond Dogs was like my LIFE back then (and continues to be so, in many ways) -- sadly i had to leave for a job in the middle of the show! but looking forward to catching up -- thank goodness for the archives!

	12:51pm V Priceless: this is not so much a record as it is a landscape
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - putting Concept & Pop together - he's It.
	12:51pm coelacanth: hi Diane and others
	12:52pm jljl: I'm horning in on FMU shows again but since no one can get enough Bowie this week, I wanted to mention that there are several tributes on WMBR. Including my show at 10AM today where I dug fairly deep (anyone else have the Bump and Grind bootleg?) and managed not to repeat the other folks. Archives are up for 2 weeks if you're interested: wmbr.org...
	12:53pm V Priceless: welcome, fishy
	12:54pm Diane Kamikaze: @VP: EXACTLY!
	12:55pm coelacanth: hey V!
	12:58pm coelacanth: i'm so glad to be here now. i was expecting to have no wfmu all day today. my commitments shifted to tomorrow.
	1:00pm TehBadDr: More tribute, thanx Diane.
	1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Self-produced of course. A transitional album; I find wigkey worth reading: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:04pm DreamCricket: Gorgeous, daymaker!
	1:04pm V Priceless: herbie flowers is just nuts!
	1:07pm Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES.
	1:09pm coelacanth: Cecile,@12:28 (to use a fashionable phrase) Adele is "the poor person's" Amy Winehouse". (except,not even)
	1:10pm Cecile: I think she has potential, but I hope it's not stymied by her huge record sales.
	1:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nothing else sounds like this.
	1:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: yay, th'chant...
	1:11pm V Priceless: woo!
	1:11pm coelacanth: this is so good! Bill Mac is right, V.
	1:12pm Dean: FWIW, David Hidalgo plays on Adele's record.
	1:12pm V Priceless: infinity jukebox!
	1:13pm coelacanth: Diane knows what's up.
	1:14pm V Priceless: just plain brilliant, DK
	1:16pm ron in S FL: The Never Ending Skeletal Family, love it!
	1:16pm PJ: I am not the biggest Bowie fan, but his death affected me more than I would have expected. His music, at its best, expressed, in a very striking way, discontentment with and alienation from modern society, the resulting melancholy, and a tenacious romanticism seeking another way of living. His personas are all outsiders, even when they're insiders, a way of making those inside society (all of us, to some degree) notice the problem. You've got five years until the end of the world, what are you going to do with it?
	1:16pm V Priceless: haha, fish! glad you are hearing this!
	1:17pm weehawk: !!
	1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's 'Disguises' by TheWh♂ in there - SydBarrett - the Velvets & doors: he was a summation taking it to the next place...
	1:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Scott Walker & Jaques Brel - Warhol & Burroughs - it's - inestimable...
	1:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Interesting how close the Skeletal Family comes to some Bob Calvert chant tunes (storm chant of the skraelings from Lucky Leif, etc) -- ok, nerd moment over. For now.
	1:18pm coelacanth: V i'm cracking up over here!
	1:19pm sphere: PJ, your remarks remind me of that old 80s MTV interview with Bowie where he harassed them for refusing to air black artists.
	1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He took years to break, & then became one of the richest. We'll have forever to try to sum it up.
	1:21pm coelacanth: okay i normally don't star songs that i have my own copy of, but...mine's not like this!
	1:22pm paul b: My friend Nancy (now Micaela) used to like this Ever circling skeleton song. Here's looking at you kid
	1:27pm Rich in Washington: this might be the best Bowie radio tribute ever so far.
	1:28pm V Priceless: YAY!!! Woo Woo!!! Man, I needed this...thanks, DK!
	1:28pm coelacanth: Diane has another 1-1/2 hours!
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: I am due to do radio tonight but suspect I am nearing the edge of people wanting to hear Bowie but still feel compelled to do so, because of what Bowie meant to me, still means to me, etc..
	1:29pm SeanG: shake it up shake it up!
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: Whoop whoop!
	1:30pm rw: Brother!
	1:31pm Don S: Only 90 minutes left!
	1:31pm coelacanth: Rich, there are still lots of less-known Bowie tracks that i haven't heard this week.
	1:31pm Rich in Washington: DON'T STOP!!!
	1:32pm coelacanth: Thanks Diane!! that was exhilarating!
	1:32pm Dean: Evidently there was once a rumor of a locked groove ending to the DD LP: https://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/chant-of-the-ever-circling-skeletal-family/
	1:32pm paul b: "the Sun Machine is going down - we're gonna have a party!"
	1:33pm Jibolo: Wow, just, wow...Thank you, DK!
	1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kewl as hell.
	1:33pm V Priceless: what fish and paul b said....plus cathartic!
	👻 1:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: I am listening to WFMU and I approve of this message.
	1:35pm coelacanth: not far under the surface of his marketing genius was musical genius.
	1:36pm V Priceless: can we change "amen" to "abowie"?
	1:38pm coelacanth: ha! just do it! -some day no one will know what "amen" meant.
	1:39pm Rich in Washington: God! I'd plumb forgotten about Smack! This song, Run Rabbit Run.
	1:43pm jljl: Rich in Wash: Don't forget Pass that Bottle
	1:50pm common: ah, wire. abowie.
	1:50pm Rich in Washington: V
	1:51pm Chris from DC: VOIVOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	1:51pm common: vv
	1:51pm PKNY: VVVVOOOOOOIIIIIIIIVVVVVOOOOOODDDDDDDD!
	1:52pm V Priceless: ha @ com! Cool! I was hoping for 'Angel Rat' V today!
	1:52pm Cecile: VOIVOD!
	👻 1:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Voivod! !! !!! Where you been at? ?? ???
	1:53pm coelacanth: Ha! i was just going to remind you it's been 3 weeks!
	1:54pm coelacanth: ...and, VVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODD!
	1:54pm sphere: Does anyone else like Tin Machine? I love the first album, especially "Heaven's In Here."
	1:55pm V Priceless: @ sphere - love TM
	1:55pm Stevel: I liked the first Tin Machine album very much. Second was OK too. Good songs.
	1:57pm coelacanth: tin machine familiarisation is near the top of my to do list.
	1:59pm Chris from DC: Always had a soft spot for "Cat People".
	1:59pm V Priceless: I could watch Hunt Sales play drums all day long
	1:59pm chris: meow
	2:04pm Cecile: sneak in Queen Bitch.
	2:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Manatees are all soft-spots. Look at 'em.
	2:14pm Andrew Waterloo: Right now I am picturing a manatee on a couch with a Motorhead shirt and a Hookah.
	2:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: That's the life.
	2:20pm Dean: @Andrew: Who is the antecedent of the subordinate clause? You or the manatee?
	2:21pm sphere: Dean, my guess is that the manatee is the antecedent.
	2:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Everyone needs an Auntie Manatee. In motörhead shirt.
	2:23pm sphere: Manatees were probably the original mermaids.
	2:23pm Cecile: you gotta love a guy who has a Comus tattoo.
	2:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Is this Steven-Wilson-produced Opeth? Time to fetch the tranquilizer darts?
	2:25pm Cecile: It is, but I like this record.
	2:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: almost an early masters-of-reality vocal there for a minute.
	2:30pm Chris from DC: Yay, Sannhet. Great live.
	2:38pm Rich in Washington: :D:E:A:D::M:O:O:N:!!!
	2:39pm DreamCricket: YEAHHH!!!!
	2:47pm Polyus: I just had to resort to Barnes & Noble to find a copy of Blackstar. Know my shame.
	2:48pm johnk77: pinkish black= comments color scheme?
	2:49pm Rich in Washington: I bought mine at Target. It felt weird. I haven't bought a new CD in quite a while. I went in thinking they might have it on vinyl (some Targets have a limited record section) but ended up buying it on CD.
	2:51pm InBrkly: I think Tin Machine was my first CD purchase actually...from Tower Records
	2:51pm InBrkly: The Barnes & Noble next to me ditched their music aisle and replaced it with educational (?) toys
	2:51pm V Priceless: @ Polyus: B & N has pretty good CD prices - I bet you paid $ 9.50 for that? Scored a bunch of stuff there around the holidaze for $ 4.99, including 1st Captain Beyond, Blue Cheer, etc.! Go figure!
	2:55pm common: off to work like a jerk. thanks for the rock! have good days!
	2:56pm Dean: Damn, VP, my B&N (which is also, I strongly suspect, InBrkly's) removed the CD inventory quite a while ago. I used to haunt the Tower Records stores in SoCal as a matter of habit. After moving north, I'd visit the one in Berkeley on Durant. Funny how when my shopping there declined the chain tanked. There is now in Albany (near Berkeley) a vinyl store, just opened this week, Strictly Vinyl. Hope to visit soon.
	2:57pm chris: see ya common! Thanks, Diane!
	2:58pm InBrkly: Oh cool I'll have to check that out. I usually go to Mod Lang near the Albany/El Cerrito Barnes & Noble.
	2:59pm V Priceless: phew - thanks for a great show, Diane, and for really knocking it outta the park for DB...as difficult as it may be to come to terms with the 'David Bowie RIP' atop the playlist, we shall overcome...with ROCK & ROLL!
	3:00pm Dean: @InBrkly: Mod Lang is pretty cool. See also Dave's on San Pablo just south of Dwight.
	3:00pm Dean: Strictly Vinyl, btw, is on Solano west of San Pablo, next door to Subway.
	3:04pm coelacanth: Thanks Diane!
	8:59am slugluv1313: THANK YOU, Diane -- Diamond Dogs was like my LIFE back then (and continues to be so, in many ways) -- sadly i had to leave for a job in the middle of the show! but looking forward to catching up -- thank goodness for the archives!
