	10:24pm jmd: Cool! Thought this RB track was some old Wipers I ever heard before! Terrific!
	10:25pm Stevel: Saw Tommy Stinson last night. Playing with his ex-uncle in law (Minnesota, eh?) It was great. Last time I saw him, he was 16. He still has the fire of youth. Very nice, no-bullshit guy. Great music.
	10:27pm chris_in_space: @jmd I thought of Wipers from the first few notes of that Ragged Barracudas tune as well!
	10:28pm efd: and like the Wipers (and Hurry Up), Ragged Barracudas are from Portland!
	10:29pm efd: Nice Stevel, sounds like a cool show!
	10:32pm Ignore Function: Stevenl, I saw Tommy Stimson last week and it was as great you say. I didn't know that guy Chip used to be his brother-in-law!
	10:33pm Ignore Function: Uncle-in-law. Even stranger(cooler?).
	10:38pm Stevel: IF: Some relation of his ex wife. Great country rock guitar player. He screamed on a plastic-looking lap steel guitar. Can't easily or briefly describe it. My jaw, if not actually on the floor, was wide open.
	10:41pm dano59: I dug hurry up! They had attitude!
	10:45pm Devin B.: Aw man, missed Hurry Up. Will have to check it out the archive. Their record rules.
