	11:10am Handy Haversack: Where did you canoe, Michael?
	11:10am Pedro in Arlington: The younger one just drove off to college for the first time amidst ... all this. Cocktail time comes early. On the bright side, NBC used Fountains of Wayne's Hotel Majestic as bumper music on Thursday night. Someone is a fan. Thanks Mike.
	11:10am clarke: WOW!! big BB news
	11:10am Cat: Loud and clear from Cville, Michael. Great news about Bob B!!
	11:11am Frank In Queens: @clarke. Yeah. Overtime, baby!

	11:11am Eddy in Australia: Yeah, more baloney - and some complaints, too.
	11:11am dano59: Saw The Kennedys do this in their recent Everlys tribute stream. Cool rhythm
	11:11am clarke: niiiiiice frank - i think.
	11:12am spodiodi: good morning all
	11:12am clarke: i suspect the drummer on that everly's tune to be Larrie Londin.
	11:13am ratso: good morning Michael and all y'all.
	11:13am Frank In Queens: @clarke no, it is. Time and a half for listening to Michael’s show.
	11:13am Todd in RVA: That is GLORIOUS NEWS Bob Brainen is returning!!!! I am ELATED!!!!
	11:13am clarke: win-win
	11:14am Michael Shelley: DD - but also could be Earl Palmer - or a Nashville guy... or possibly Jerry Alison
	11:14am clarke: but, i haven't followed - i suspect your dog is no longer in the race, hockey-wise
	11:16am Frank In Queens: Yeah, i still had to get up at 5:30 to come in, but i ain’t got nothing on anyway.
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Stick it to the Man, Frank!
	11:17am Sean: Big Ethel Smith fan. Still not clear if she married Bo Diddley.
	11:17am Frank In Queens: @handy yeah, sticking it right in my pocket.
	11:18am clarke: ouch - but, seems easier to get going before sun-up if you have to get up
	11:18am Eddy in Australia: Holy shit, Little Murders!
	11:18am clarke: no time to go to the dunny!
	11:19am Hoboken Jack: Hey Michael, Ruth, Matt, Frank, Dennis, Baby, Handy, and all you clockfaces!
	11:19am Eddy in Australia: @Michael Thanks for the shout-out. This is an old fave, a Mod (revival) band from Melbourne.
	11:19am Frank In Queens: @clarke i’m only doing this because i get to work from home a few days a week. If this was my 6th day in, i would turn down the $. My free time is worth more than they pay me.
	11:20am Handy Haversack: It's almost impossible to remember how nice it was over the year-end holidays to be at work and playing WFMU as loud as I felt like since was the only one at my end of the office. I thought that was isolation! Jack! How goes?
	11:20am Dennis Diken: MM - hmmm, doesn't sound like Earl - Jim Gordon was playing in their live shows at the time. might be N'ville tho. there might be a sessionography in a Bear Family comp. always wondered meself about this one.
	11:20am clarke: let the scooters ROLL!!
	11:20am Jimmy Wipper: Jack is our man in Hoboken!
	11:20am Ruth Booth: Hi JACK!
	11:21am Handy Haversack: (Extra "y" in Everly still.)
	11:21am ratso: Don't say that on an airplane.
	11:21am clarke: WIPPAHHHH
	11:21am Officer Pupp: According to the sessionography in the Bear Mountain box set, Gone Gone Gone was recorded on September 8th 1964 in Nashville, no producer is credited and session musicians are unknown. Other cuts that day were Torture, It’s Been A Long Dry Spell, and Love Is All I Need.
	11:21am mariano: End of the song made me think: "Is This the Chattanooga High School?" Hey Michael, Crew, everyone!
	11:22am Frank In Queens: Hiya Jack!
	11:22am Eddy in Australia: @Michael Little Murders wasn't a No. 1 hit because they only pressed 500 copies - max!
	11:22am clarke: HELLO to the ward!!
	11:23am Handy Haversack: Morning, Mariano!
	11:23am Officer Pupp: * Not Bear Mountain, Bear Family box set.
	11:24am myron feld: I am digging the associate producer's (a/k/a Juniper) latest video! rb.gy...
	11:24am clarke: is there a cul-de-sac around there??
	11:25am ledzeppelinsucks: Do not operate machinery or drive after consuming.
	11:25am mariano: Good morning, Handy!
	11:26am clarke: how goes down there in the bywater??
	11:26am Pedro in Arlington: @Handy I still go to the office daily and put on WFMU from Clay onward. No headphones. Don't know how I'd dial it back if real people returned.
	11:26am dano59: 2x4s are 8 feet long, as any carpenter knows. Perhaps the 5 foot 2 might have trouble wielding it.
	11:27am McGroovey: 2x4=<3
	11:28am Jimmy Wipper: Claaaaarke!
	11:28am clarke: it's almost THAT time, benny!
	11:29am Handy Haversack: Right, Pedro? Unlimited FMU at the volume of my choice has been the one good thing of the last six freaking months!
	11:29am Jimmy Wipper: I think it’s going to be a virtual Rocktober this year.
	11:29am myron feld: Of all Sam & Dave's #1 hits, this is the absolute #1-est.
	11:30am P-90: BABY!
	11:30am clarke: that's what your friends told you
	11:30am Hubig Pie: 2x4s come in 8, 10 , 12, 16 and 20 ft, as per your needs or ceiling height
	11:30am McGroovey: maybe the 2x4 is 5' because they live in a trailer and she ripped it out o' the wall!
	11:31am Matt Clarke: Amazing Sam and Dave track. Fav!
	11:31am Jimmy Wipper: Zoom is the artist of the year. They told me!
	11:31am clarke: i think you're drunk.
	11:32am clarke: Zoom was a very mod band from new orleans in the 00's
	11:33am Handy Haversack: Nice, Delaware Water Gap. We were on the upper upper Delaware in July and the Pepacton Reservoir in August. All the canoe outfitters I have spoken to have told me this is the busiest season of their careers. Everyone is getting outdoors. Friends were on a month-long waiting list to buy kayaks!
	11:34am Eddy in Australia: @Michael There's a M- copy of that Stax LP for $300 or the VG- for $150 - which one do you want for your birthday?
	11:34am Vt Knit Girl: What is your email address for photos of costers?
	11:35am Hubig Pie: I wanna see water park doc
	11:35am Hoboken Jack: Hey McGroove! Jimmy if you need any fresh mozzarella or low-rent vote by mail scams, just say the word!
	11:35am clarke: RIP Toots
	11:36am Michael Shelley: michaels at wfmu .org
	11:36am Matt Clarke: Bless you Toots. Thanks for the tunes.
	11:36am Eddy in Australia: Damn, hadn't heard about Toots. Maybe the best version of Louie Louie?
	11:37am clarke: toots used to play the beachcomber EVERY summer for a while, there. when thangs was cheap.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: I am interested in both those things, Jack! RIP, Toots.
	11:37am Jimmy Wipper: Mozzarella and voting by mail are two tastes that taste great together.
	11:37am clarke: best Louie Louie is the original richard berry
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Such a shame about Toots.
	11:38am Dennis Diken: @Officer Pupp - thanks for that info, the other tracks from that session sound like Buddy Harman on drums but I never felt it was him on "GGG". but could be. perhaps we'll get to the bottom of this at some point!
	11:39am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Whoops, I meant best cover.
	11:39am ?: toots was a great guy on-stage and off total pro the shows i worked with him
	11:40am clarke: ha ha - i still like the kingsmen as best cover
	11:40am Daybreak and the New School Order!: Speak the school truth Juniper!!!
	11:40am johnk77: second post of the morning ? is me
	11:40am Hoboken Jack: Hang in there, associate producer Jupiter! Perhaps the third day will be the charm.
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Oh, now we’re talkin’!
	11:41am clarke: SIS boom baaah!!
	11:41am Jimmy Wipper: A few months? I’m already in Joey Ramone territory hair wise.
	11:41am Bob: I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE OF ROCK AND ROLL PRODUCTION AND ITS NOT JON LANDAU!
	11:42am Frank In Queens: My hair is the longest it’s been since my 20s.
	11:42am Handy Haversack: Kate spent the morning trying to parse the NYC DOE's guide to remote and hybrid arts teaching. Nineteen pages.
	11:42am clarke: and YES! Junips new vid is a victorious romp!!
	11:44am Matt Clarke: It feels like it goes on for like 30 minutes when they do that live
	11:44am clarke: i thought it was WHOAH MAN
	11:44am Hubig Pie: I thought it was "high"!
	11:44am Frank In Queens: A lot of people say that’s the worst part of the show!
	11:44am Bob: The Argent break is brutal
	11:44am P-90: That word is “woman”?! Who knew...?
	11:45am clarke: the elements of Argent never made sense to me, coming out sounding as they did (which is NOT great).
	11:45am Daybreak and the New School Order!: Oooh Michael! Don’t take 13 min to tell a story about a weird 13 min! Ha! I like the banter amid the tunes
	11:45am steve: RUSS Ballard?
	11:45am juniper: Thanks Clarke!!
	11:45am Eddy in Australia: Bongo feet!
	11:46am P-90: @ Hubig: I guess I always thought it might be “high” too.
	11:46am ?: Feets don't fail me now!
	11:46am ratso: I learned something today. nice. wo-man.
	11:46am clarke: it really is GREAT - because there is a #1 hit behind it!
	11:47am Matt Clarke: Russ Ballard was also in the great Roulettes
	11:49am P-90: That feeling when you learn what word is represented by a sound in a song you’ve heard for half a century or so...
	11:53am bbob: YAY BRAINEN!
	11:53am Dennis Diken: Bob Brainen! yay!
	11:54am scott: Great news, best news of the week, welcome back Bob B!
	11:55am Frank In Queens: Very glad Bob is coming back. The ideal Saturday radio listening line-up has returned!
	11:55am McGroovey: Ballard also wrote "I Surrender", covered by Rainbow, and a favorite if my teenage years.
	11:55am clarke: agreed!
	11:55am Daybreak and the New School Order!: Nothing like purposefully modifying your understanding of a song to make it seem less creepy and perverted. It’s a real 2020 mindset.
	11:56am Handy Haversack: Second master's.
	11:56am Michael Shelley: try having a sense of humor - its timeless!
	11:56am Michael in Montclair: Today is a bittersweet day. I am bummed that DDR is leaving it's 9:00am - 11:00am slot, but I am ecstatic that Bob Brainen is returning to his old slot. If anything, my options are going to be more difficult: Bob on the main station, or DDR in the Jungle Room? Choices, choices, choices (lol). On that note, great set so far Michael.
	11:58am clarke: i'm headed up to arkansas to drink some of that water!!!
	11:58am Andy Fuchs: Bra Bra Bra Brainen , YES !
	11:58am Michael Shelley: Amanda, Roger & Bob - all good people
	11:59am Andy Fuchs: RIP Robert 'Cool' Bell of Cool and the gang... :(
	11:59am clarke: Kool
	11:59am scott: I thought Jonathan King was the last man on Earth.
	12:01pm Michael from the Left Coast: The great Hal Blaine on drums with Jan and Dean!
	12:01pm clarke: now THAT sounds like Jim Gordon!
	12:02pm Andy Fuchs: :) Nice ID lol
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: Those scones sound amazing.
	12:02pm myron feld: @ Andy Fuchs: Ronald Bell died, not his brother Robert "Kool" Bell.
	12:03pm Andy Fuchs: @Myron feld, sorry, my bad !
	12:03pm clarke: what's on the menu In Queens, tonite?
	12:04pm clarke: all right ya'll -- is it MOVIETIME yet?!?
	12:05pm clarke: my movie-time should involve Eddy if he is still lurking??
	12:05pm Daybreak and the New School Order!: JUST Chuck Barry?!?
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: Tonight’s dinner are portobello melt sandwiches on freshly baked rye bread. Side of greens, of course.
	12:06pm JG: It's great that people who want to listen to Roger and Amanda can, and that people who want to listen to Bob B also can. I'm a big fan of both, and the whole station in general. I'll be listening to Bob in that slot because he's on the radio, and I am a BIG fan of radio.That being said, I really don't get the idea of separate "streams". They compete w each other and the real radio. Sorry , I know its probably personal preference and allows for more options, but I don't get how FMU, as radio station can have shows competing w each other for our attention.
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: are......is!
	12:07pm clarke: side greens OF COURSE.
	12:08pm Frank In Queens: Movietime already happened. I only have one entry this week due to hockey; LA Confidential (and the hours of Blu Ray bonus stuff it came with).
	12:08pm clarke: good one!
	12:09pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke I'm back. What movie?
	12:09pm clarke: although i am not as big on ellroy as i once was
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: I hadn’t seen it for about 20 years, and yes, I enjoyed it again. Probably even more than the last time I watched it.
	12:10pm clarke: okay, i watched the doc on Paul Kelly - don't want to offend if you are a huge fan, but his songs don't seem to move me as much as they move some.
	12:10pm Gaylord Fields: @JG: WFMU wants people to listen to WFMU. Let's say there are no alternate streams, then your choice is either the show currently on, or go somewhere else if you don't care for that show. With broadcast and three streams, there a greater chance you'll carry on listening to some WFMU program. I can't see this as not good, except in a FOMO way — and there are archives that can help with that.
	12:12pm Handy Haversack: I need to rewatch Withnail and I this week since it's the theme for the football pool I admin. Need to nail down some scenes for the weekly e-mails. I do feel we're losing some special voices with this sched. change, voices that broadened the WFMU footprint in important ways. Roger and Amanda, Daniel Blumin, and especially Keilidh. I am going to really miss Hts from the Crypt. Keilidh is super good, and I was always proud to support her voice having a way to get out in the world.
	12:13pm Eddy in Australia: Not a huge fan, not offended. I can totally understand. Also, like Nick Cave, he's been around forever so there's also the possibility that different periods appeal to different people.
	12:15pm JG: @ Gaylord, You are right. For me it is the Fear Of Missing Out factor, but I would put it another way. When I'm listening to "the" station, its a communal experience. To me, that is the magical thing about radio. I listen to Fmu all day, even when shows are on that are not my favorite. They are still interesting to me, and enjoy almost all of them anyway
	12:15pm smevvyk: Only hot the last 4-5 seconds
	12:15pm clarke: the more the doc went on, the more i realized that i am just not a big fan - but, i mean, kelly doesn't suck or anything, either.
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: @Handy I have Withnail in the queue waiting for a rewatch as well.
	12:16pm Eddy in Australia: Agreed. By the way, I lumped those two together cos they came from similar backgrounds, overcame similar personal issues and both have become elder statesemen in Australia, which I still find bizarre.
	12:16pm Moammar: I'm with JG -- I hate listening on the podcast. It's the simultaneousness of it all that makes the magic.
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: One of my all-time faves, Frank. There's a cabal of devotees haunting the FMU boards ...
	12:17pm Gaylord Fields: @JG: I totally take your initial statement as coming from a place of love for the station. Thank you for caring about us enough to feel conflicted about us.
	12:18pm clarke: i am a huge cave fan, btw. just love his workman-like song-writing.
	12:18pm myron feld: This version of "Circles" is a leading example of the cover besting the original. And I'm a big Who fan.
	12:18pm Matt Clarke: Agree Myron
	12:18pm clarke: nah - the who's is better
	12:19pm Jimmy Wipper: We watched Monterey Pop last night. TCM played a ton of great music films last weekend.
	12:19pm Frank In Queens: I third that Myron.
	12:20pm Gaylord Fields: Another way to look at it is that WFMU would literally not survive if it wasn't for the streams. There's waaaaaaay too much competition for any potential listeners' time in 2020 than there was even in 2000.
	12:20pm clarke: saw that james -- i had never seen Woodstock before - fairly interesting, but i was not missing a whole lot, either.
	12:20pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Interestingly, he's kinda disowned the early pub rock/pop records (not available on streaming services, I believe), which I really like.
	12:22pm clarke: i think you are referring to Kelly? i heard nothing from the early days that i would deem 'remarkable', but certainly nothing bad.
	12:22pm Cooh John: Before or after Merle?
	12:22pm johnk77: great show how about hippie from olema
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: saw Paul Kelly two nights in a row - 1987ish - open for Crowded House - good shows - opening bands can have it tough - he won the crowd over
	12:23pm Tim: ...and of course The Youngbloods had a take on it, too. Hippie From Olema
	12:23pm Eddy in Australia: Yep, still Kelly! Not remarkable, just preferable to the latterday troubador stuff. Also, maybe some early stuff was missing from the film for the reason I mentioned.
	12:24pm JG: @Gaylord, Agreed it is good that those streams are there. I am only not tuned in to the broadcast station though, when: I am sleeping work or family matters take me away watching a movie or Yankees (sometimes no sound an fmu on anyway) Sunday night weekly broadcast of Little Steven Underground Garage
	12:24pm The Kitchenwitch: Better a hippie from Mississippi than an Okie from Muskogee
	12:24pm clarke: i DO like Paul Kelly's collab with neil finn, tho
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: There’s A LOT to love on the Rock And Soul stream these days!
	12:24pm myron feld: To reiterate what I posted on Joe Belock's Shakin' Street chat board yesterday: the Rock N Soul stream is SO ephing good now. There's room for everybody in WFMU's super-enormous tent!
	12:25pm ?: Hippy from MS mentions 'Robert Shelton follows me around' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Shelton_(Ku_Klux_Klan)
	12:25pm JG: And only use archives really if I missed on of my mainstay shows
	12:25pm Ethan Young: that was my comment about robt shelton
	12:29pm clarke: guess what i am saying eddy is that i figured i would be sold over to Kelly by the doc, but it more confirmed my "meh!"
	12:32pm Gaylord Fields: Michael Shelley: Was that the UK version or the US remake of "Tula"?
	12:33pm Michael 98145: Appreciate all the streams; just sayin'
	12:33pm Eddy in Australia: Yep, got it! Ever been turned off an artist you like by the way they're portrayed in a doc?
	12:34pm clarke: i also guess that is what i am saying, ha ha. right.
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: GF- honestly not sure - will investigate!
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: I find there's so much I do care about on WFMU that I pretty much never use the archives except to send other people songs I think they'd like. The few times when the schedule doesn't have anything I want are when I listen to the music I bought after hearing on FMU!
	12:35pm Gaylord Fields: @MS: I forgot which I preferred. Thanks for checking.
	12:36pm JG: Mr. Shelley, this show does not ever hit a wrong note. Particularly good today.
	12:36pm clarke: yer a cookie full of arsenic!!
	12:36pm SeanG: big red sun --love it
	12:37pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: My right hand hasn't seen my left hand in 30 years.
	12:38pm Michael Shelley: Hey JG - That's so kind of you to say. Thanks!
	12:38pm Michael 98145: my eyes can't see the sun thru the smoke
	12:39pm phat: Great Magic Sam.
	12:39pm clarke: you're wrong, Fields. this is the big time for me!!
	12:40pm clarke: anyone can see that THIS one is toting THIS one around for THIS ONE!!
	12:41pm Handy Haversack: Ugh, Michael 98145. Sorry to hear it again. Michael S, thanks for another great show! Taking the dog and myself on a Kate-mandated walk. Thanks for all. Ruth, see you in Fool's Paradise when we get back! Be well, all.
	12:41pm clarke: HH - adieu!
	12:41pm Ruth Booth: @Handy Have a nice walk.
	12:42pm Hubig Pie: My favorite scene from The Harder They Come was watchin this song being performed
	12:42pm Frank Zaatar: Anybody here tried cola wine?
	12:43pm Listener John from NJ: "Sweet & Dandy!" The first Toots & the Maytals song I ever heard, and still a favorite. Thanks Michael!
	12:43pm clarke: in spain a LONG time ago
	12:44pm clarke: ONCE.
	12:44pm Hubig Pie: 1 part cola, 1 part wine stir vigorously and serve over ice with a twist of lime
	12:45pm bob ratynski: yes!....Kim Shattuck rules!
	12:45pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: You're dead, son. Go get yourself buried.
	12:45pm phat: Fake Beatles!
	12:47pm clarke: sidney says you sweat.
	12:47pm phat: I love fake Beatles.
	12:47pm Gaylord Fields: I only recently learned of these Peruvian FB's while doing research for a possible future fundraising premium.
	12:47pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I check in to see discussion of wine and cola. Jesus wept.
	12:47pm clarke: that's quite a teaser GF!
	12:48pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: Gotta keep the suspense going!
	12:48pm phat: Someone's been listening to some Nerves.
	12:49pm clarke: you would NEVER do a thing like that!!! never in a million years, jj!!
	12:51pm Matt Clarke: Unmistakable Boettcher production
	12:52pm clarke: fade-out bongo feet!! genius.
	12:52pm Michael Shelley: I think I read that Ray Whitley died in a homeless shelter....
	12:53pm Frank Zaatar: @Hubig Pie: Hey, I looked it up and you're right! I was sure it was wine made from kola nuts. The FMU board is so educational.
	12:54pm clarke: nice shew mikey!! looks like some weather comin' into nola. on frazzel street, benny!!
	12:54pm Hubig Pie: It was a lucky guess, Mr. Zaatar
	12:54pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Country Hits of Late-Stage Capitalism[tm]
	12:55pm Hams: wow, i've only heard the charlie rich version.
	12:55pm Jimmy Wipper: @clarke they call it calimocho. It’s the most awful stuff. We played a festival once where that was the official drink. Brutal.
	12:56pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the past 2 hours of #1's! Soundtrack to a rainy day in Michigan. Take care all.
	12:56pm Eddy in Australia: Great show, Michael.
	12:56pm Montmaster J: Late in show greetings! Fall has arrived in the 'Mont. That is all.
	12:57pm clarke: same here!! the only thing i liked about it was the lime!! and the news dept.
	12:57pm Sean: I think I bought a Zombies 45 this week, but honestly I CAN'T remember.
	12:57pm Jimmy Wipper: I think you’re drunk on calimocho.
	12:57pm ?: Highly diggable show Mikey! As per....
	12:58pm clarke: could be. could be. they said i won.
	12:58pm Matt Clarke: Most excellent show, Michael. Thanks!
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael! See some of you in a few hours.
	12:59pm Dennis diken: That last comment from ? Was mine
	12:59pm Michael 98145: Thank you!
	12:59pm clarke: another offshoot of SealTest was Seal Lilly in the mississippi areas
	12:59pm PaulRobeson1920: Howd’y one and all! Gotta LoVe WFMU!
	12:59pm Hubig Pie: I'll have the unflavored ice milk, please
	12:59pm paul: Dad was smoking
	1:00pm PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff!

	11:19am Frank In Queens: @clarke i’m only doing this because i get to work from home a few days a week. If this was my 6th day in, i would turn down the $. My free time is worth more than they pay me.
	11:20am Handy Haversack: It's almost impossible to remember how nice it was over the year-end holidays to be at work and playing WFMU as loud as I felt like since was the only one at my end of the office. I thought that was isolation! Jack! How goes?
	11:20am Dennis Diken: MM - hmmm, doesn't sound like Earl - Jim Gordon was playing in their live shows at the time. might be N'ville tho. there might be a sessionography in a Bear Family comp. always wondered meself about this one.

	11:26am clarke: how goes down there in the bywater??
	11:26am Pedro in Arlington: @Handy I still go to the office daily and put on WFMU from Clay onward. No headphones. Don't know how I'd dial it back if real people returned.
	11:26am dano59: 2x4s are 8 feet long, as any carpenter knows. Perhaps the 5 foot 2 might have trouble wielding it.
	11:27am McGroovey: 2x4=<3
	11:28am Jimmy Wipper: Claaaaarke!
	11:28am clarke: it's almost THAT time, benny!

	11:30am P-90: BABY!
	11:30am clarke: that's what your friends told you
	11:30am Hubig Pie: 2x4s come in 8, 10 , 12, 16 and 20 ft, as per your needs or ceiling height
	11:30am McGroovey: maybe the 2x4 is 5' because they live in a trailer and she ripped it out o' the wall!
	11:31am Matt Clarke: Amazing Sam and Dave track. Fav!
	11:31am Jimmy Wipper: Zoom is the artist of the year. They told me!

	11:33am Handy Haversack: Nice, Delaware Water Gap. We were on the upper upper Delaware in July and the Pepacton Reservoir in August. All the canoe outfitters I have spoken to have told me this is the busiest season of their careers. Everyone is getting outdoors. Friends were on a month-long waiting list to buy kayaks!
	11:34am Eddy in Australia: @Michael There's a M- copy of that Stax LP for $300 or the VG- for $150 - which one do you want for your birthday?

	11:37am Handy Haversack: I am interested in both those things, Jack! RIP, Toots.
	11:37am Jimmy Wipper: Mozzarella and voting by mail are two tastes that taste great together.
	11:37am clarke: best Louie Louie is the original richard berry
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Such a shame about Toots.
	11:38am Dennis Diken: @Officer Pupp - thanks for that info, the other tracks from that session sound like Buddy Harman on drums but I never felt it was him on "GGG". but could be. perhaps we'll get to the bottom of this at some point!
	11:39am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Whoops, I meant best cover.

	11:44am clarke: i thought it was WHOAH MAN
	11:44am Hubig Pie: I thought it was "high"!
	11:44am Frank In Queens: A lot of people say that’s the worst part of the show!
	11:44am Bob: The Argent break is brutal
	11:44am P-90: That word is “woman”?! Who knew...?
	11:45am clarke: the elements of Argent never made sense to me, coming out sounding as they did (which is NOT great).

	11:55am clarke: agreed!
	11:55am Daybreak and the New School Order!: Nothing like purposefully modifying your understanding of a song to make it seem less creepy and perverted. It’s a real 2020 mindset.
	11:56am Handy Haversack: Second master's.
	11:56am Michael Shelley: try having a sense of humor - its timeless!
	11:56am Michael in Montclair: Today is a bittersweet day. I am bummed that DDR is leaving it's 9:00am - 11:00am slot, but I am ecstatic that Bob Brainen is returning to his old slot. If anything, my options are going to be more difficult: Bob on the main station, or DDR in the Jungle Room? Choices, choices, choices (lol). On that note, great set so far Michael.

	12:03pm clarke: what's on the menu In Queens, tonite?
	12:04pm clarke: all right ya'll -- is it MOVIETIME yet?!?
	12:05pm clarke: my movie-time should involve Eddy if he is still lurking??
	12:05pm Daybreak and the New School Order!: JUST Chuck Barry?!?
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: Tonight’s dinner are portobello melt sandwiches on freshly baked rye bread. Side of greens, of course.
	12:06pm JG: It's great that people who want to listen to Roger and Amanda can, and that people who want to listen to Bob B also can. I'm a big fan of both, and the whole station in general. I'll be listening to Bob in that slot because he's on the radio, and I am a BIG fan of radio.That being said, I really don't get the idea of separate "streams". They compete w each other and the real radio. Sorry , I know its probably personal preference and allows for more options, but I don't get how FMU, as radio station can have shows competing w each other for our attention.
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: are......is!
	12:07pm clarke: side greens OF COURSE.
	12:08pm Frank In Queens: Movietime already happened. I only have one entry this week due to hockey; LA Confidential (and the hours of Blu Ray bonus stuff it came with).
	12:08pm clarke: good one!
	12:09pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke I'm back. What movie?
	12:09pm clarke: although i am not as big on ellroy as i once was
	12:10pm Frank In Queens: I hadn’t seen it for about 20 years, and yes, I enjoyed it again. Probably even more than the last time I watched it.
	12:10pm clarke: okay, i watched the doc on Paul Kelly - don't want to offend if you are a huge fan, but his songs don't seem to move me as much as they move some.
	12:10pm Gaylord Fields: @JG: WFMU wants people to listen to WFMU. Let's say there are no alternate streams, then your choice is either the show currently on, or go somewhere else if you don't care for that show. With broadcast and three streams, there a greater chance you'll carry on listening to some WFMU program. I can't see this as not good, except in a FOMO way — and there are archives that can help with that.
	12:12pm Handy Haversack: I need to rewatch Withnail and I this week since it's the theme for the football pool I admin. Need to nail down some scenes for the weekly e-mails. I do feel we're losing some special voices with this sched. change, voices that broadened the WFMU footprint in important ways. Roger and Amanda, Daniel Blumin, and especially Keilidh. I am going to really miss Hts from the Crypt. Keilidh is super good, and I was always proud to support her voice having a way to get out in the world.
	12:13pm Eddy in Australia: Not a huge fan, not offended. I can totally understand. Also, like Nick Cave, he's been around forever so there's also the possibility that different periods appeal to different people.
	12:15pm JG: @ Gaylord, You are right. For me it is the Fear Of Missing Out factor, but I would put it another way. When I'm listening to "the" station, its a communal experience. To me, that is the magical thing about radio. I listen to Fmu all day, even when shows are on that are not my favorite. They are still interesting to me, and enjoy almost all of them anyway
	12:15pm smevvyk: Only hot the last 4-5 seconds
	12:15pm clarke: the more the doc went on, the more i realized that i am just not a big fan - but, i mean, kelly doesn't suck or anything, either.
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: @Handy I have Withnail in the queue waiting for a rewatch as well.
	12:16pm Eddy in Australia: Agreed. By the way, I lumped those two together cos they came from similar backgrounds, overcame similar personal issues and both have become elder statesemen in Australia, which I still find bizarre.
	12:16pm Moammar: I'm with JG -- I hate listening on the podcast. It's the simultaneousness of it all that makes the magic.
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: One of my all-time faves, Frank. There's a cabal of devotees haunting the FMU boards ...
	12:17pm Gaylord Fields: @JG: I totally take your initial statement as coming from a place of love for the station. Thank you for caring about us enough to feel conflicted about us.
	12:18pm clarke: i am a huge cave fan, btw. just love his workman-like song-writing.
	12:18pm myron feld: This version of "Circles" is a leading example of the cover besting the original. And I'm a big Who fan.
	12:18pm Matt Clarke: Agree Myron
	12:18pm clarke: nah - the who's is better
	12:19pm Jimmy Wipper: We watched Monterey Pop last night. TCM played a ton of great music films last weekend.
	12:19pm Frank In Queens: I third that Myron.
	12:20pm Gaylord Fields: Another way to look at it is that WFMU would literally not survive if it wasn't for the streams. There's waaaaaaay too much competition for any potential listeners' time in 2020 than there was even in 2000.
	12:20pm clarke: saw that james -- i had never seen Woodstock before - fairly interesting, but i was not missing a whole lot, either.
	12:20pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Interestingly, he's kinda disowned the early pub rock/pop records (not available on streaming services, I believe), which I really like.
	12:22pm clarke: i think you are referring to Kelly? i heard nothing from the early days that i would deem 'remarkable', but certainly nothing bad.
	12:22pm Cooh John: Before or after Merle?
	12:22pm johnk77: great show how about hippie from olema
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: saw Paul Kelly two nights in a row - 1987ish - open for Crowded House - good shows - opening bands can have it tough - he won the crowd over
	12:23pm Tim: ...and of course The Youngbloods had a take on it, too. Hippie From Olema
	12:23pm Eddy in Australia: Yep, still Kelly! Not remarkable, just preferable to the latterday troubador stuff. Also, maybe some early stuff was missing from the film for the reason I mentioned.
	12:24pm JG: @Gaylord, Agreed it is good that those streams are there. I am only not tuned in to the broadcast station though, when: I am sleeping work or family matters take me away watching a movie or Yankees (sometimes no sound an fmu on anyway) Sunday night weekly broadcast of Little Steven Underground Garage
	12:24pm The Kitchenwitch: Better a hippie from Mississippi than an Okie from Muskogee
	12:24pm clarke: i DO like Paul Kelly's collab with neil finn, tho
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: There’s A LOT to love on the Rock And Soul stream these days!
	12:24pm myron feld: To reiterate what I posted on Joe Belock's Shakin' Street chat board yesterday: the Rock N Soul stream is SO ephing good now. There's room for everybody in WFMU's super-enormous tent!
	12:25pm ?: Hippy from MS mentions 'Robert Shelton follows me around' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Shelton_(Ku_Klux_Klan)
	12:25pm JG: And only use archives really if I missed on of my mainstay shows
	12:25pm Ethan Young: that was my comment about robt shelton
	12:29pm clarke: guess what i am saying eddy is that i figured i would be sold over to Kelly by the doc, but it more confirmed my "meh!"
	12:32pm Gaylord Fields: Michael Shelley: Was that the UK version or the US remake of "Tula"?
	12:33pm Michael 98145: Appreciate all the streams; just sayin'
	12:33pm Eddy in Australia: Yep, got it! Ever been turned off an artist you like by the way they're portrayed in a doc?
	12:34pm clarke: i also guess that is what i am saying, ha ha. right.
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: GF- honestly not sure - will investigate!
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: I find there's so much I do care about on WFMU that I pretty much never use the archives except to send other people songs I think they'd like. The few times when the schedule doesn't have anything I want are when I listen to the music I bought after hearing on FMU!
	12:35pm Gaylord Fields: @MS: I forgot which I preferred. Thanks for checking.
	12:36pm JG: Mr. Shelley, this show does not ever hit a wrong note. Particularly good today.
	12:36pm clarke: yer a cookie full of arsenic!!
	12:36pm SeanG: big red sun --love it
	12:37pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: My right hand hasn't seen my left hand in 30 years.
	12:38pm Michael Shelley: Hey JG - That's so kind of you to say. Thanks!
	12:38pm Michael 98145: my eyes can't see the sun thru the smoke
	12:39pm phat: Great Magic Sam.
	12:39pm clarke: you're wrong, Fields. this is the big time for me!!
	12:40pm clarke: anyone can see that THIS one is toting THIS one around for THIS ONE!!
	12:41pm Handy Haversack: Ugh, Michael 98145. Sorry to hear it again. Michael S, thanks for another great show! Taking the dog and myself on a Kate-mandated walk. Thanks for all. Ruth, see you in Fool's Paradise when we get back! Be well, all.
	12:41pm clarke: HH - adieu!
	12:41pm Ruth Booth: @Handy Have a nice walk.
	12:42pm Hubig Pie: My favorite scene from The Harder They Come was watchin this song being performed
	12:42pm Frank Zaatar: Anybody here tried cola wine?
	12:43pm Listener John from NJ: "Sweet & Dandy!" The first Toots & the Maytals song I ever heard, and still a favorite. Thanks Michael!
	12:43pm clarke: in spain a LONG time ago
	12:44pm clarke: ONCE.
	12:44pm Hubig Pie: 1 part cola, 1 part wine stir vigorously and serve over ice with a twist of lime
	12:45pm bob ratynski: yes!....Kim Shattuck rules!
	12:45pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: You're dead, son. Go get yourself buried.
	12:45pm phat: Fake Beatles!
	12:47pm clarke: sidney says you sweat.
	12:47pm phat: I love fake Beatles.
	12:47pm Gaylord Fields: I only recently learned of these Peruvian FB's while doing research for a possible future fundraising premium.
	12:47pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I check in to see discussion of wine and cola. Jesus wept.
	12:47pm clarke: that's quite a teaser GF!
	12:48pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: Gotta keep the suspense going!
	12:48pm phat: Someone's been listening to some Nerves.
	12:49pm clarke: you would NEVER do a thing like that!!! never in a million years, jj!!
	12:51pm Matt Clarke: Unmistakable Boettcher production
	12:52pm clarke: fade-out bongo feet!! genius.
	12:52pm Michael Shelley: I think I read that Ray Whitley died in a homeless shelter....
	12:53pm Frank Zaatar: @Hubig Pie: Hey, I looked it up and you're right! I was sure it was wine made from kola nuts. The FMU board is so educational.
	12:54pm clarke: nice shew mikey!! looks like some weather comin' into nola. on frazzel street, benny!!
	12:54pm Hubig Pie: It was a lucky guess, Mr. Zaatar
	12:54pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Country Hits of Late-Stage Capitalism[tm]
	12:55pm Hams: wow, i've only heard the charlie rich version.
	12:55pm Jimmy Wipper: @clarke they call it calimocho. It’s the most awful stuff. We played a festival once where that was the official drink. Brutal.
	12:56pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the past 2 hours of #1's! Soundtrack to a rainy day in Michigan. Take care all.
	12:56pm Eddy in Australia: Great show, Michael.
	12:56pm Montmaster J: Late in show greetings! Fall has arrived in the 'Mont. That is all.
	12:57pm clarke: same here!! the only thing i liked about it was the lime!! and the news dept.
	12:57pm Sean: I think I bought a Zombies 45 this week, but honestly I CAN'T remember.
	12:57pm Jimmy Wipper: I think you’re drunk on calimocho.
	12:57pm ?: Highly diggable show Mikey! As per....

	12:59pm PaulRobeson1920: Howd’y one and all! Gotta LoVe WFMU!
