	10:05am Gary: "Backed with"
	10:05am The Butterman: Thanks Gary.
	10:05am hyde: i now know what labrish means!
	10:05am Rob W: Gary, this weekend we're at the mom-in-laws in Michigan but I've been enjoying the show from Brighton Beach every Sunday morning. While my better half Katie swims a couple of miles I lie there in a semi-vegetative state and soak up the music!
	10:05am TDK60: it's the flip side, mon.
	10:08am Gary: Sweet, I was just in Brighton Beach yesterday, stopped in at RBC Video to pick up some Russian CDs
	10:09am agav: semi vegetative is the best state to reside in
	10:11am agav: im going there now...
	10:11am hyde: i've always wanted to go eat in Brighton Beach but never have. i think i have a bunch of places bookmarked from a Sietsema piece.
	10:12am agav: me and my cats
	10:14am Gary: It's worth a trip, Hyde -- Cafe at Your Mother In Laws has a couple of tables out on the sidewalk, and they've got great Uzbeki/Korean chow
	10:17am hyde: @Gary ooh, that sounds good. i did apparently bookmark some Uyghur place called Café Kashkar
	10:17am Woo: Solid.
	10:19am hyde: oh and some other Korean/Russian place called Elza Fancy Food
	10:19am Gary: They also have tables out ... Hey there, Woo!
	10:19am Rob W: Ah yes Gary, sometimes I pop into RBC Video when Katie's swimming! And yes Hyde, and Gary, we frequent the food spots too! Although haven't been to Mother-in-Laws - need to try that one - thanks for the tip! Sietsema was a catalyst - he wrote about Kashkar Cafe many years ago. We also like the Georgian bakeries and the dark Lithuanian bread that many groceries stock, etc. etc...
	10:20am Gary: Seconding all the bakeries and grocery stores there -- lots of unique imports
	10:26am Marie: Good morning, Gary, and everybody. Totally digging the show...
	10:27am Gary: Morning, Marie!
	10:29am mb: "Who killed the barber"!!
	10:31am Rob W: Our former-Soviet food conversation may seem a bit off-topic - but I can think of one band you'll hear on Solid Foundation whose band name - or at least, the inspiration for that name - brings the musical and geographic threads together! (And that's our Solid Foundation Jamaican music quiz for today kids...)
	10:32am mb: hbd Bunny Lee!! Total BOSS Shoutouts to Jeff Sarge!!
	10:33am TDK60: Once long ago, I had very long hair, decided to get a short haircut. The barber complained to me about my long hair, "You look like a girl," as he cut. I said "You're getting to cut it off and I pay you, so?!"
	10:34am adampsyche: whoooooaaa
	10:36am Gary: Haha, well, I can't think of the band name off the top of my head, Rob, but the last track I'll play today is decidedly on (Soviet) topic!
	10:38am Rob W: Perfect Gary! By the way, last thing - but I should have said "musical and culinary threads, that's more accurate... and, the answer rhymes with anthracite(s)!
	10:39am mb: Prince Far I! HEAVY MANNERS Really trying to get out of the house for a short walk. Thanks DJ Gary : )
	10:39am Gary: Oh, haha, SKATALITES?
	10:45am mb: @Gary: Do all of these tracks have Bunny Lee involved?
	10:46am Gary: MB, if I have done my homework correctly they do, yes
	10:46am Gary: Mostly as producer
	10:48am mb: Thanks. This show is top notch today (as always). Will miss these classic roots and rock when Mr. Sarge comes back, can't lie.
	10:49am hyde: this is a fantastic lineup of sounds
	10:50am Gary: MB, check out Mike Sin's Ranking Full Stop on the Rock & Soul stream, right after this show
	10:52am Rob W: Yep, Skatalites Gary! But you know maybe that wasn't totally fair because though Sputnik was first, the US was also launching satellites at that time. But according to this at least - old.skabook.com... - those early satellite launches were the inspiration for the name. And yes I second that, if you like today's show you may get a kick out of Mike Sin's Ranking Full Stop on FMU's Rock & Soul stream too dear listeners!
	10:53am hyde: oh, i had no idea there was now a Mike Sin reggae show?!?! i used to be a regular Optical Sound listener
	10:54am mb: Shoutouts to DJ Mike Sin!
	10:55am Gary: Here's Mike's playlist page: wfmu.org...
	10:57am erma gherd made me do it: Someone is bringing the heat. This set of pioneering DJs is making my weekend.
	11:01am Gary: Morning, EGMx2DI!
	11:04am mb: A/C has been off and windows up since Hurricane Isaias blew threw. Its really been glorious weather here in the Northeast this summer. Thank Jah for that. Also shoutouts to DJ Terre T! Miss those Saturday shows with Mike Sin sitting in
	11:04am The Butterman: Are the Optical Sound shows Reggae?
	11:05am TDK60: Thanks much Gary, have to exit. Till then..
	11:07am mb: Peace out TDK
	11:07am Gary: Ciao, TDK!
	11:13am chresti: Morning Gary and solid senders!
	11:14am Malcolm: loving the show
	11:15am mb: Shoutouts to San Gabriel!
	11:15am hyde: @The Butterman sorry, i wandered off there for a bit. Optical Sound isnt really reggae, it's more rock oriented
	11:16am Gary: Morning, Malcom!
	11:16am chresti: Hi mb!
	11:17am spodiodi: aloha, Gary and friendlies!

	11:20am The Butterman: Thanks Hyde! No worries. No problem. You’re in Jamaica! Metaphorically speaking.
	11:27am Mike W: two and a half hours in and circuits are still firing. Pat Kelly said “sweet like candy” at the beginning and just now Horace Andy appears, right on time.
	11:27am The Butterman: Working my way through Clay’s Pounding System archives...awesome! Somehow I missed that show when it really happened but that was before I had me a smrt phone.
	11:33am The Butterman: Dan Bodah should play some Simple Simon and Eek-a-mouse.
	11:33am Gary: I'd be surprised if Dan hasn't played at least some karazy dancehall tracks
	11:37am agav: RIP PURPLEMAN
	11:39am Gary: Oh, shoot--I hadn't seen he passed away. Last Wednesday, looks like. RIP

	10:33am TDK60: Once long ago, I had very long hair, decided to get a short haircut. The barber complained to me about my long hair, "You look like a girl," as he cut. I said "You're getting to cut it off and I pay you, so?!"
	10:34am adampsyche: whoooooaaa
	10:36am Gary: Haha, well, I can't think of the band name off the top of my head, Rob, but the last track I'll play today is decidedly on (Soviet) topic!
	10:38am Rob W: Perfect Gary! By the way, last thing - but I should have said "musical and culinary threads, that's more accurate... and, the answer rhymes with anthracite(s)!
	10:39am mb: Prince Far I! HEAVY MANNERS Really trying to get out of the house for a short walk. Thanks DJ Gary : )
	10:39am Gary: Oh, haha, SKATALITES?
	10:45am mb: @Gary: Do all of these tracks have Bunny Lee involved?
	10:46am Gary: MB, if I have done my homework correctly they do, yes
	10:46am Gary: Mostly as producer
	10:48am mb: Thanks. This show is top notch today (as always). Will miss these classic roots and rock when Mr. Sarge comes back, can't lie.
	10:49am hyde: this is a fantastic lineup of sounds
	10:50am Gary: MB, check out Mike Sin's Ranking Full Stop on the Rock & Soul stream, right after this show
	10:52am Rob W: Yep, Skatalites Gary! But you know maybe that wasn't totally fair because though Sputnik was first, the US was also launching satellites at that time. But according to this at least - old.skabook.com... - those early satellite launches were the inspiration for the name. And yes I second that, if you like today's show you may get a kick out of Mike Sin's Ranking Full Stop on FMU's Rock & Soul stream too dear listeners!
	10:53am hyde: oh, i had no idea there was now a Mike Sin reggae show?!?! i used to be a regular Optical Sound listener
