	11:22am zivilars: Thanks for playing The Collins Kids!!!
	♥ 11:22am McGroovey: The sun is out, so WFMU doesn't come in on the kitchen radio, so I have to listen on the app. Sounds better coming out of the radio.
	♥ 11:23am Will the Sound Guy: Handy, I hope you're having a great day man!

	11:24am zivilars: love those old Ranch and Town Party TV recordings of the Collins Kids
	♥ 11:25am Listener Baby: Hi Clarke. ‘Twas Santa Cruz. Georgious campus. Lottie loved it. Tis a front runner. Looks like she’s staying in the Golden State. Which is fine by us.

	11:28am clarke: as is any club - i guessssss???
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: Huge XTC fan here, but they should have left it as it was.
	♥ 11:29am Listener Baby: I thought this was a different mix. 45 version.
	♥ 11:29am Hughie Considine: The original has the most gorgeously concise 8-bar solo in the whole wide world.
	♥ 11:30am Hughie Considine: Actually it's 4-bar -- that's how concise it is.
	11:31am clarke: you can SAY it, it just probably won't happen.
	♥ 11:32am Frank In Queens: Converse were hell on my back after wearing them for years. I had to give them up!
	11:32am ?: Shoo Goo is awesome!
	11:32am clarke: not a lot of support going on (as with paul stanley for p. criss)
	♥ 11:34am ze boocherie: I was teaching an English class to some adult students in Italy a few days ago and when one of them said she used to make shoes, I was eager to ask her what kind of glue I should use to repair a loose sole I have. This led to a vibrant discussion of the various cobblers in their small Italian town, but nobody knew about Shoo Goo! Thanks for the tip!
	♥ 11:34am greg g: As a young kid spent a lot of time in Keds and Toughskin jeans.
	11:35am Listener Robert: I've had good wear lately from Champions. You can't go by reputation. I remember when Cons were the high end, then they became the cheap stuff but worth what you paid for them. Now I gather they're costly crap.
	11:35am davefromtoronto: he was a teenager when he wrote this stuff!
	11:37am morphe': MICHAEL >>>>>> I was the only one still wearing chuck taylors in 1987 --- My students would say "Yo mista ---you rich --- why you wearin stupids ---" Theywere selling for 13.00u$... They wentbankrupt and were sold out and suddenly became fabulous and cost 49.99 and fall apart ... I have pairs from 1970s that still exist in Ireland topics seaWeed in the rocks and dig potato too .. The NYC and Madrid versions cannot stand ONE = 1= One washing !!!!!!!!!!!
	11:37am phat in Lincoln: "Here Comes My Baby" has one of the most beautiful choruses ever written. It's in my top 5. It almost always brings me to tears it's so gorgeous.
	♥ 11:37am greg g: Sounds wonderful! Only know this from Yo La Tengo’s version on Facebook. Nice to hear the original
	11:38am George in WO: I had no idea this was a Cat Stevens song! Just knew The Tremolos terrific version.
	11:38am phat in Lincoln: I think I like the Tremeloes version better, though.
	11:38am clarke: they played dullards on the show, tho
	11:38am Mike Sin: “Matthew & Son” is definitely in my top 10 LPs of the ‘60s. To me, it’s one of those LPs in which each song sounds greater when you listen to the whole LP in sequence. Just like, say, “Odessey & Oracle” and LPs of that ilk.
	♥ 11:39am spodiodi: wonder if The Dillards get a discount at the dept store
	11:39am paul: I bet they got their hooch from Otis.
	11:40am paul: They were known as the Darling family on TAGS.
	11:40am clarke: naw - otis was not sober or fiscal enough to MAKE his stuff - he got it from bootleggers
	♥ 11:41am Cat: I can also vouch for Shoo Goo. Wore Chucks for years but they kill my feet. Exclusively Altras now with their wide toe box. And, that Homer Henderson tune has that early NRBQ Kentucky/Steve-Terry thang goin' on.
	♥ 11:42am Listener Baby: Cat!!, how you doing?
	11:42am Ross T.: Pro Keds were my high tops of choice way back -- were more durable than the Chucks which always had the cachet.
	♥ 11:42am Hubig Pie: The Cat Stevens song sounded a bit different on the Rushmore soundtrack IIRC. Been awhile maybe just have faulty memory
	11:42am morphe': Converse = I was on the train a wekend(1999??) and some Queens kids got on and were laughing at me and pointing ... they said "look at his bag!!!! Look at his skips...!!!!! CBC !!!!!!!" OnMonday I asked my class what it all meant ???? They all busted out out in laughter - CBC = CHEAP BEFORE CHRIST = I looked even poorer than Jesus inJesus's time ... That is a compliment in my wee sketchbook.....
	11:42am Cooh John: Johnny Hartford's band.
	11:42am clarke: it's the same version as in the film, HP
	♥ 11:43am Listener Baby: Q Tips!!!!
	♥ 11:44am Michael Shelley: MIKE SIN - yup - whole lp is top notch
	♥ 11:44am Listener Baby: Stat!
	11:44am phat in Lincoln: I wear Feiyue high tops. Cheap and they're pretty durable, if you're looking for that kind of thing. Get them on Amazon
	11:45am Andres: Did the Habs win the Cup?
	11:46am morphe': Unless I susppect Fascist violence in Madrid - I wear sandals or alpagathas/espadrills ... Converse if the fascists are expected to show up...
	11:46am Ross T.: I actually saw "Steam" on a bill with Ted Nugent and Bloodrock circa 1970/71.
	11:47am alan the painter: Hey Michael, nice note on shoe"goop" made by "eclectic Plastics" they also make the jewelers glue "E6000", shoe goop comes in a number recipes, I tried to talk with one of their chemists to get an MSDS, she gave me a run-a-bout talking nonsense science, now years ago, the variations are a number, I use Marine Goop, which has a UV shield, I used to glue all the springs onto the Springcar, '96-'05, my ID pic. this glue is very flexible and in its last stages finally become porous and crumbles, this after 3 plus years, very effective.
	11:48am clarke: does this mean it's... MovieTime???
	♥ 11:48am Michael Shelley: I JUST RESEARCHED/BOUGHT/USED some e6000 for a high sentimental value mug that my cat broke YESTERDAY!
	♥ 11:48am Cat: Hey Listener Baby! Sidelined due to a medical issue, but will have it mended early May. Hope you're well.
	11:49am morphe': Alan ... Painter ... Thanks!!!! .. gonna repair my 7 pairs of wonky converse !!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 11:49am Listener Baby: I am, thanks. Think of you often. Hope all is okay now.
	11:52am Moammar: Not as severe as being dead. Just saying.
	♥ 11:52am jake6573: Please get Vaccinated !
	11:53am rw: I cary a microchip around in my pocket.
	♥ 11:53am Frank In Queens: MovieTime, let's do it! This week we continued with Fuller's "Fixed Bayonets!" and also watched "Odd Man Out". Also, a few episodes of The Critic.
	♥ 11:53am Hubig Pie: Moderna no. 2 caused me to get a haircut
	11:54am morphe': Walk in at 424b Broome street (Moderna) - any vague piece of paper connected to NYC ... "My granny's Homekeeper." Got # 1 Yesterday = 21 minutes in total .. 1 min reg 5 min Vac 15 min wait for no side effects none!!!!!!!!
	11:54am gene sculatti: GREAT Chants side: killer song, cool arrangement.
	11:54am rw: And good morning! I'm just a Moderna guy.
	♥ 11:54am jake6573: For the anti vaxxers ! Its not all about YOU ! Protect your family , friends, fellow man / woman, Thank You
	♥ 11:54am Will the Sound Guy: I've heard of people using 3m window weld on shoes too... It's a tough black rubbery goo... A guy at work uses RTV, but it's probably better with shoe goo if you want them look clean.
	♥ 11:55am yerfriendpaul: Love Miles Davis’s version of this tune
	♥ 11:55am spodiodi: what jake said <3 Jerky Boys
	11:55am clarke: frank is on a FULLER ROLL!! for the completist: Shock Corridor
	♥ 11:56am Frank In Queens: I've seen Shock Corridor. It was maybe the first Fuller film I saw.
	♥ 11:56am Will the Sound Guy: the jerky boys called my house once... my mom didn't really buy into the gag tho.
	11:56am clarke: figures. i haven't yet seen Fixed Bayonets, but hope to.
	11:57am davefromtoronto: too bad hank didn't take luke's advice...
	♥ 11:57am Frank In Queens: It was pretty good, but no Steel Helmet.
	11:58am clarke: righto. and Odd Man Out - we talkin' james mason??
	11:58am morphe': Sam Fuller's last - badly filmed but of interest = White Dog https://lwlies.com/articles/white-dog-samuel-fuller-anti-racist-allegory/
	♥ 11:58am Frank In Queens: Yep, the very same.
	11:58am clarke: IRA - oh wow - GREAT GREAT stuff!
	♥ 11:59am Frank In Queens: I'm getting to White Dog, morphe'. I remember it being on HBO in the early 80s when I was very young. It kinda freaked me out.
	♥ 11:59am Will the Sound Guy: I've gotta go for a drive and get some things done. sounds good today. thanks to Michael and his Shelley Skellies!
	11:59am morphe': I am ps 102 ..Brooklyn (1967) = Richard Selby "No Exit From Brooklyn"
	11:59am Sean: I have "Mr. Lee" on 78rpm shellac
	♥ 11:59am Frank In Queens: Yes, it was a very good movie. Christina and I both liked it better than The Third Man.
	12:00pm clarke: i saw part of White Dog on hbo - silly me, i am queer about seeing something from the beginning so shut it off. shouldn't'a
	12:01pm phat in Lincoln: Mr. Lee is pretty damn amazing, speaking of great choruses.
	♥ 12:01pm winston legthigh: great backstory, what a tune indeed!
	12:02pm (Mr) BIll: Richard Rodgers hated the doo-wop version of "Blue Moon." I think he'd have been (or was) more appreciative of The Chants's arrangement and performance of the bookish gem from "Pal Joey."
	♥ 12:03pm spodiodi: such a good looking guy
	♥ 12:03pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack, winston! We're choring over here, but listening too!
	12:05pm morphe': Dinner and Bed ...... Thanks Mikey and all.... I am EDT but still on CET ..... not yet settled in ... must awake for 1600 EDT to read "The Zabajaba Jungle"by William Steig to my Simon of 9+ in Madrid...
	12:05pm clarke: wow - i pulled out this album YESTERDAY!
	♥ 12:06pm McGroovey: I enjoyed the Even Dando thing at Monty Hall. He seemed like a bit of a mess, but he was pleasant and entertaining and played good songs.
	♥ 12:06pm Hoboken Jack: Hello George and Mike Sin!
	12:06pm morphe': Handy - what is "choring????"""
	♥ 12:07pm Roberto: According to the latest Fuzzy Glove Hour installment, Evan Dando may still be trapped in the Monty Hall basement.
	12:08pm paul: RIP, Les McKeown (Bay City Rollers) and Humpty Hump
	♥ 12:08pm greg g: Saw Dando and some version of The Lemonheads doing “ A Shame About Ray”for 20th anniversary. Sounded good that night
	♥ 12:08pm McGroovey: @Roberto nah. I think I locked him out myself at the end of the night.
	♥ 12:08pm winston legthigh: choring over here means cleaning up the horse head lamp post, its derby week!
	12:09pm clarke: dang, listened to The Rollers last week. RIP
	♥ 12:10pm Michael Shelley: McGroovy - sorry I missed that!!!
	12:11pm Baby: Mikey, a little more boho feet, and we got the blend.
	12:11pm Baby: Bongo
	12:11pm clarke: boho - boohooo
	♥ 12:12pm Handy Haversack: winston, already? Damn. I miss when I let myself love horseracing! morph: doing lots of chores!
	12:13pm ledzeppelinsucks: Bay City Rollers singer died on T-U-E-S-D-A-Y Night, T-U-E-S-D-A-Y Night, T-U-E-S-D-A-Y Night, T-U-E-S-D-A-Y Night. .
	12:13pm morphe': Winston - thanks need some CHORING [all caps} over here ... The exterminator and his Beagle said,"He'll never get bed bugs with all that dust." True story...
	12:13pm zoelpw: I’ve really been enjoying your show today! And I’m looking forward to your interview with Keith next week!!
	12:15pm ledzeppelinsucks: That's a part time bummer he died on Taco Tuesday because that is my favorite holiday and garbage eve in my neighborhood.
	12:15pm morphe': Handy - I'll give a call and do some cooking demos = #1white beans and #2 lentils Deer Antler for Mr BP.....
	12:18pm clarke: well, one reason why it is difficult to say which tuning is on a certain african song is that multiple guitarists are in different tunings for the same song, sometimes.
	12:19pm clarke: i saw king sunny ade' in the 80's and there were three guitarists all in different tunings up there
	12:20pm clarke: what the hell was that?!?
	12:21pm CalZone!: Great show MS! The Easybeats sounded great loud in the car with windows open!
	12:21pm MFlynn: Groovies explosion perhaps?!?
	12:21pm ledzeppelinsucks: Does anyone need bulk miniature ironing boards, broken in towels, gently used toilet plungers,corn flake troughs, waffle irons or plexi glass? I will be a block away from here in an hour. seattle.craigslist.org...
	12:21pm clarke: (that is among the five total guitarists onstage)
	12:21pm Ross T.: I always salute the mighty Flamin' Groovies.
	12:23pm Baby: Baby. I’m thinking it’s more of tone thing than a tuning think. Me thinks the guitars are direct into the console, thus very flat and clean. But distinctive. Then they play in a deliberate style of two strings at a time. Not much strumming either. My two cents, or one cent.
	12:24pm clarke: it's definitely "parts-y"
	12:24pm clarke: and a psydedelic situation, to be faiyaaahh
	♥ 12:25pm spodiodi: that Bumble Bee Tuna jingle is forever burned in my mind. catchy stuff! nice bit of trivia... thanks, M$!
	12:26pm clarke: we've both misspelled psychedelic, today.
	12:26pm clarke: and corrected.
	12:27pm paul: I thought they were singing "Michael Shelley"!
	♥ 12:27pm spodiodi: i heard the same, paul :)
	12:28pm SmokinJ: Greetings from BrewTown psychedelic rockers! 8-)
	12:28pm paul: Good. I'm not losing my mind.
	12:28pm clarke: The Michael Shelley Situation - that was your 70's band, right?
	♥ 12:29pm Yes: great turnpike tune
	12:30pm clarke: except it should be Three-Lane
	♥ 12:30pm Mailman Tom: "This rotten fucking jail"!
	12:31pm morphe': Actually - it must have been amazing for a country person to go to Nashville.. I in early 70s an Irish cousin in Ireland asked me if I had ever seen Kojak ...another sled me if i had ever been in an elevator???? No disrespect ...just the Time/Distance Warp....
	12:33pm Dennis Diken: @Mikey Shell - thanks, brother!!
	♥ 12:34pm HyperDose: Boy, is it nice out! I encourage those who are able to get some fresh air today. :D
	♥ 12:35pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hey everyone. Enjoying the Studio A return show, not that there was anything wrong with Studio B-!
	12:36pm clarke: my eyes is crazy!!!
	12:36pm Edward: Aggh, I CANNOT STAND Lucinda Williams. Tell me I’m wrong. No wait, don’t.
	12:37pm clarke: to each his own - i like her.
	12:39pm Edward: Jan and Dean made a whole rainy-day-themed album, titled SAVE IT FOR A RAINY DAY. It’s pretty great.
	12:40pm dano59: Petty Booka also did an album of rain songs; nice cover versions mostly
	♥ 12:41pm Michael Shelley: I think that whole lp is Dean's work.
	♥ 12:41pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, Johnny!
	12:43pm clarke: i think jan sings on a few tracks - had to get out of the hospital to do so
	12:44pm clarke: at least, that is what is portrayed in the flick Deadman's Curve
	12:45pm Dennis Diken: Mikey, mightily looking forward to both of your scheduled upcoming interviews!!
	♥ 12:46pm Michael Shelley: Clarke, we need to ask John Stamos! DD - me too!
	12:46pm Edward: Clarke, is that available streaming anywhere? Signed, too lazy to look it up
	12:46pm clarke: ha ha. no thnx.
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: There seems to be a divide as solid as that between "pop" vs. "soda" (vs. "Coke") between "firefly" and "lightning bug."
	12:47pm clarke: i caught it on television in the late 70's, but someone has to have it posted somewhere.
	12:48pm clarke: it is fairly cheezy, but well-intended.
	12:50pm clarke: HH - yes, in the south soda-pop is basically called whatever drink it might be; however, in some of the hinters, they would say "ya'll wanna orange coke?"
	♥ 12:51pm Handy Haversack: For me, one's a show, one's an insect. Also Lightnin' Bug Sweet Tea Vodka. Is that still a thing? As in the famous last words, "Boy, this sweet-tea vodka sure goes down smooth." clarke, growing up in Atlanta, we very much were (esp. at Waffle House) in the "I'll have a Coke"; "What kind of Coke you want, honey?"; "Orange Coke, please" school of thought!
	12:51pm Edward: Greil Marcus has an essay on it in his book THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY, so you know it’s respeckable.
	♥ 12:51pm Michael 98145: hey - how'd that firefly get in my pop? oh, wait. i don't drink pop.
	12:52pm DG: Wow, that Flat Five song sounds like something from 5o+ years ago, they're new?
	12:52pm clarke: ha ha - well, fortunate you were to have Waffle House!! (the first WH JUST opened in nola, last year!)
	♥ 12:53pm spodiodi: y'ins want a Pop or a Farscape?
	12:53pm davefromtoronto: why should he be nervous?
	12:54pm clarke: i did not know HH grew up in atlanta?!?
	♥ 12:54pm Handy Haversack: Oh man, Waffle House pretty much raised me! The one I went to do my homework, meet my friends, smoke cigarettes without parental interference, and maybe even talk to girls was like a second home. I had coffee privileges and could go behind the counter to pour my refills!
	12:55pm clarke: you from the 5Points? buckhead??
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: clarke, yup. My parents left NYC in ... '64? Drifted through Detroit, Chicago, Alabama, and ended up in Atlanta in '68. I was born there in '74. Came back up here in '93 to complete the circle! We lived first by Emory University and the CDC, then had to move to the NE side near I-85. I went to school right by Little Five Points my whole life, though.
	♥ 12:57pm spodiodi: thanks, Michael Shelley! thanks, Ruth!
	12:57pm clarke: would you have gone to shows at Fellini's?? mid-80's?? (dunno your age group)
	♥ 12:57pm Handy Haversack: Oh, shoot! Great Triumphant Return, MS! Fantastic stuff today! Are we putting Ruth out of a job?!
	♥ 12:57pm Hams: handy, my mom was thoroughly displeased when waffle house discontinued their buttermilk waffles.
	12:58pm clarke: this show still gets a B-Minus!!!!! ; ]
	♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack: Shows? No, though we ate at Fellini's on Ponce almost every day through high school. I don't remember their having shows. Where would the bands be? I saw shows in ATL basically '89-'93.
	♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack: 96 Rock!!
	♥ 12:59pm Michael 98145: The only Athens we've been to is in Georgia

	♥ 11:29am Listener Baby: I thought this was a different mix. 45 version.
	♥ 11:29am Hughie Considine: The original has the most gorgeously concise 8-bar solo in the whole wide world.
	♥ 11:30am Hughie Considine: Actually it's 4-bar -- that's how concise it is.
	11:31am clarke: you can SAY it, it just probably won't happen.
	♥ 11:32am Frank In Queens: Converse were hell on my back after wearing them for years. I had to give them up!
	11:32am ?: Shoo Goo is awesome!
	11:32am clarke: not a lot of support going on (as with paul stanley for p. criss)
	♥ 11:34am ze boocherie: I was teaching an English class to some adult students in Italy a few days ago and when one of them said she used to make shoes, I was eager to ask her what kind of glue I should use to repair a loose sole I have. This led to a vibrant discussion of the various cobblers in their small Italian town, but nobody knew about Shoo Goo! Thanks for the tip!
	♥ 11:34am greg g: As a young kid spent a lot of time in Keds and Toughskin jeans.
	11:35am Listener Robert: I've had good wear lately from Champions. You can't go by reputation. I remember when Cons were the high end, then they became the cheap stuff but worth what you paid for them. Now I gather they're costly crap.
	11:35am davefromtoronto: he was a teenager when he wrote this stuff!
	11:37am morphe': MICHAEL >>>>>> I was the only one still wearing chuck taylors in 1987 --- My students would say "Yo mista ---you rich --- why you wearin stupids ---" Theywere selling for 13.00u$... They wentbankrupt and were sold out and suddenly became fabulous and cost 49.99 and fall apart ... I have pairs from 1970s that still exist in Ireland topics seaWeed in the rocks and dig potato too .. The NYC and Madrid versions cannot stand ONE = 1= One washing !!!!!!!!!!!
	11:37am phat in Lincoln: "Here Comes My Baby" has one of the most beautiful choruses ever written. It's in my top 5. It almost always brings me to tears it's so gorgeous.
	♥ 11:37am greg g: Sounds wonderful! Only know this from Yo La Tengo’s version on Facebook. Nice to hear the original
	11:38am George in WO: I had no idea this was a Cat Stevens song! Just knew The Tremolos terrific version.
	11:38am phat in Lincoln: I think I like the Tremeloes version better, though.
	11:38am clarke: they played dullards on the show, tho
	11:38am Mike Sin: “Matthew & Son” is definitely in my top 10 LPs of the ‘60s. To me, it’s one of those LPs in which each song sounds greater when you listen to the whole LP in sequence. Just like, say, “Odessey & Oracle” and LPs of that ilk.
	♥ 11:39am spodiodi: wonder if The Dillards get a discount at the dept store
	11:39am paul: I bet they got their hooch from Otis.
	11:40am paul: They were known as the Darling family on TAGS.
	11:40am clarke: naw - otis was not sober or fiscal enough to MAKE his stuff - he got it from bootleggers
	♥ 11:41am Cat: I can also vouch for Shoo Goo. Wore Chucks for years but they kill my feet. Exclusively Altras now with their wide toe box. And, that Homer Henderson tune has that early NRBQ Kentucky/Steve-Terry thang goin' on.
	♥ 11:42am Listener Baby: Cat!!, how you doing?
	11:42am Ross T.: Pro Keds were my high tops of choice way back -- were more durable than the Chucks which always had the cachet.
	♥ 11:42am Hubig Pie: The Cat Stevens song sounded a bit different on the Rushmore soundtrack IIRC. Been awhile maybe just have faulty memory
	11:42am morphe': Converse = I was on the train a wekend(1999??) and some Queens kids got on and were laughing at me and pointing ... they said "look at his bag!!!! Look at his skips...!!!!! CBC !!!!!!!" OnMonday I asked my class what it all meant ???? They all busted out out in laughter - CBC = CHEAP BEFORE CHRIST = I looked even poorer than Jesus inJesus's time ... That is a compliment in my wee sketchbook.....
	11:42am Cooh John: Johnny Hartford's band.
	11:42am clarke: it's the same version as in the film, HP
	♥ 11:43am Listener Baby: Q Tips!!!!
	♥ 11:44am Michael Shelley: MIKE SIN - yup - whole lp is top notch
	♥ 11:44am Listener Baby: Stat!
	11:44am phat in Lincoln: I wear Feiyue high tops. Cheap and they're pretty durable, if you're looking for that kind of thing. Get them on Amazon
	11:45am Andres: Did the Habs win the Cup?
	11:46am morphe': Unless I susppect Fascist violence in Madrid - I wear sandals or alpagathas/espadrills ... Converse if the fascists are expected to show up...
	11:46am Ross T.: I actually saw "Steam" on a bill with Ted Nugent and Bloodrock circa 1970/71.
	11:47am alan the painter: Hey Michael, nice note on shoe"goop" made by "eclectic Plastics" they also make the jewelers glue "E6000", shoe goop comes in a number recipes, I tried to talk with one of their chemists to get an MSDS, she gave me a run-a-bout talking nonsense science, now years ago, the variations are a number, I use Marine Goop, which has a UV shield, I used to glue all the springs onto the Springcar, '96-'05, my ID pic. this glue is very flexible and in its last stages finally become porous and crumbles, this after 3 plus years, very effective.
	11:48am clarke: does this mean it's... MovieTime???
	♥ 11:48am Michael Shelley: I JUST RESEARCHED/BOUGHT/USED some e6000 for a high sentimental value mug that my cat broke YESTERDAY!
	♥ 11:48am Cat: Hey Listener Baby! Sidelined due to a medical issue, but will have it mended early May. Hope you're well.
	11:49am morphe': Alan ... Painter ... Thanks!!!! .. gonna repair my 7 pairs of wonky converse !!!!!!!!!!!

	♥ 11:53am Frank In Queens: MovieTime, let's do it! This week we continued with Fuller's "Fixed Bayonets!" and also watched "Odd Man Out". Also, a few episodes of The Critic.
	♥ 11:53am Hubig Pie: Moderna no. 2 caused me to get a haircut
	11:54am morphe': Walk in at 424b Broome street (Moderna) - any vague piece of paper connected to NYC ... "My granny's Homekeeper." Got # 1 Yesterday = 21 minutes in total .. 1 min reg 5 min Vac 15 min wait for no side effects none!!!!!!!!
	11:54am gene sculatti: GREAT Chants side: killer song, cool arrangement.
	11:54am rw: And good morning! I'm just a Moderna guy.
	♥ 11:54am jake6573: For the anti vaxxers ! Its not all about YOU ! Protect your family , friends, fellow man / woman, Thank You
	♥ 11:54am Will the Sound Guy: I've heard of people using 3m window weld on shoes too... It's a tough black rubbery goo... A guy at work uses RTV, but it's probably better with shoe goo if you want them look clean.
	♥ 11:55am yerfriendpaul: Love Miles Davis’s version of this tune
	♥ 11:55am spodiodi: what jake said <3 Jerky Boys
	11:55am clarke: frank is on a FULLER ROLL!! for the completist: Shock Corridor
	♥ 11:56am Frank In Queens: I've seen Shock Corridor. It was maybe the first Fuller film I saw.
	♥ 11:56am Will the Sound Guy: the jerky boys called my house once... my mom didn't really buy into the gag tho.
	11:56am clarke: figures. i haven't yet seen Fixed Bayonets, but hope to.
	11:57am davefromtoronto: too bad hank didn't take luke's advice...
	♥ 11:57am Frank In Queens: It was pretty good, but no Steel Helmet.
	11:58am clarke: righto. and Odd Man Out - we talkin' james mason??
	11:58am morphe': Sam Fuller's last - badly filmed but of interest = White Dog https://lwlies.com/articles/white-dog-samuel-fuller-anti-racist-allegory/
	♥ 11:58am Frank In Queens: Yep, the very same.
	11:58am clarke: IRA - oh wow - GREAT GREAT stuff!
	♥ 11:59am Frank In Queens: I'm getting to White Dog, morphe'. I remember it being on HBO in the early 80s when I was very young. It kinda freaked me out.
	♥ 11:59am Will the Sound Guy: I've gotta go for a drive and get some things done. sounds good today. thanks to Michael and his Shelley Skellies!
	11:59am morphe': I am ps 102 ..Brooklyn (1967) = Richard Selby "No Exit From Brooklyn"
	11:59am Sean: I have "Mr. Lee" on 78rpm shellac
	♥ 11:59am Frank In Queens: Yes, it was a very good movie. Christina and I both liked it better than The Third Man.
	12:00pm clarke: i saw part of White Dog on hbo - silly me, i am queer about seeing something from the beginning so shut it off. shouldn't'a
	12:01pm phat in Lincoln: Mr. Lee is pretty damn amazing, speaking of great choruses.
	♥ 12:01pm winston legthigh: great backstory, what a tune indeed!
	12:02pm (Mr) BIll: Richard Rodgers hated the doo-wop version of "Blue Moon." I think he'd have been (or was) more appreciative of The Chants's arrangement and performance of the bookish gem from "Pal Joey."
	♥ 12:03pm spodiodi: such a good looking guy
	♥ 12:03pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack, winston! We're choring over here, but listening too!
	12:05pm morphe': Dinner and Bed ...... Thanks Mikey and all.... I am EDT but still on CET ..... not yet settled in ... must awake for 1600 EDT to read "The Zabajaba Jungle"by William Steig to my Simon of 9+ in Madrid...
	12:05pm clarke: wow - i pulled out this album YESTERDAY!
	♥ 12:06pm McGroovey: I enjoyed the Even Dando thing at Monty Hall. He seemed like a bit of a mess, but he was pleasant and entertaining and played good songs.
	♥ 12:06pm Hoboken Jack: Hello George and Mike Sin!
	12:06pm morphe': Handy - what is "choring????"""
	♥ 12:07pm Roberto: According to the latest Fuzzy Glove Hour installment, Evan Dando may still be trapped in the Monty Hall basement.
	12:08pm paul: RIP, Les McKeown (Bay City Rollers) and Humpty Hump
	♥ 12:08pm greg g: Saw Dando and some version of The Lemonheads doing “ A Shame About Ray”for 20th anniversary. Sounded good that night
	♥ 12:08pm McGroovey: @Roberto nah. I think I locked him out myself at the end of the night.
	♥ 12:08pm winston legthigh: choring over here means cleaning up the horse head lamp post, its derby week!
	12:09pm clarke: dang, listened to The Rollers last week. RIP
	♥ 12:10pm Michael Shelley: McGroovy - sorry I missed that!!!
	12:11pm Baby: Mikey, a little more boho feet, and we got the blend.
	12:11pm Baby: Bongo

	♥ 12:12pm Handy Haversack: winston, already? Damn. I miss when I let myself love horseracing! morph: doing lots of chores!
	12:13pm ledzeppelinsucks: Bay City Rollers singer died on T-U-E-S-D-A-Y Night, T-U-E-S-D-A-Y Night, T-U-E-S-D-A-Y Night, T-U-E-S-D-A-Y Night. .
	12:13pm morphe': Winston - thanks need some CHORING [all caps} over here ... The exterminator and his Beagle said,"He'll never get bed bugs with all that dust." True story...
	12:13pm zoelpw: I’ve really been enjoying your show today! And I’m looking forward to your interview with Keith next week!!
	12:15pm ledzeppelinsucks: That's a part time bummer he died on Taco Tuesday because that is my favorite holiday and garbage eve in my neighborhood.
	12:15pm morphe': Handy - I'll give a call and do some cooking demos = #1white beans and #2 lentils Deer Antler for Mr BP.....
	12:18pm clarke: well, one reason why it is difficult to say which tuning is on a certain african song is that multiple guitarists are in different tunings for the same song, sometimes.
	12:19pm clarke: i saw king sunny ade' in the 80's and there were three guitarists all in different tunings up there
	12:20pm clarke: what the hell was that?!?
	12:21pm CalZone!: Great show MS! The Easybeats sounded great loud in the car with windows open!
	12:21pm MFlynn: Groovies explosion perhaps?!?
	12:21pm ledzeppelinsucks: Does anyone need bulk miniature ironing boards, broken in towels, gently used toilet plungers,corn flake troughs, waffle irons or plexi glass? I will be a block away from here in an hour. seattle.craigslist.org...
	12:21pm clarke: (that is among the five total guitarists onstage)
	12:21pm Ross T.: I always salute the mighty Flamin' Groovies.
	12:23pm Baby: Baby. I’m thinking it’s more of tone thing than a tuning think. Me thinks the guitars are direct into the console, thus very flat and clean. But distinctive. Then they play in a deliberate style of two strings at a time. Not much strumming either. My two cents, or one cent.
	12:24pm clarke: it's definitely "parts-y"
	12:24pm clarke: and a psydedelic situation, to be faiyaaahh
	♥ 12:25pm spodiodi: that Bumble Bee Tuna jingle is forever burned in my mind. catchy stuff! nice bit of trivia... thanks, M$!
	12:26pm clarke: we've both misspelled psychedelic, today.
	12:26pm clarke: and corrected.
	12:27pm paul: I thought they were singing "Michael Shelley"!
	♥ 12:27pm spodiodi: i heard the same, paul :)
	12:28pm SmokinJ: Greetings from BrewTown psychedelic rockers! 8-)
	12:28pm paul: Good. I'm not losing my mind.
	12:28pm clarke: The Michael Shelley Situation - that was your 70's band, right?
	♥ 12:29pm Yes: great turnpike tune
	12:30pm clarke: except it should be Three-Lane
	♥ 12:30pm Mailman Tom: "This rotten fucking jail"!
	12:31pm morphe': Actually - it must have been amazing for a country person to go to Nashville.. I in early 70s an Irish cousin in Ireland asked me if I had ever seen Kojak ...another sled me if i had ever been in an elevator???? No disrespect ...just the Time/Distance Warp....
	12:33pm Dennis Diken: @Mikey Shell - thanks, brother!!
	♥ 12:34pm HyperDose: Boy, is it nice out! I encourage those who are able to get some fresh air today. :D
	♥ 12:35pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hey everyone. Enjoying the Studio A return show, not that there was anything wrong with Studio B-!
	12:36pm clarke: my eyes is crazy!!!
	12:36pm Edward: Aggh, I CANNOT STAND Lucinda Williams. Tell me I’m wrong. No wait, don’t.
	12:37pm clarke: to each his own - i like her.
	12:39pm Edward: Jan and Dean made a whole rainy-day-themed album, titled SAVE IT FOR A RAINY DAY. It’s pretty great.
	12:40pm dano59: Petty Booka also did an album of rain songs; nice cover versions mostly
	♥ 12:41pm Michael Shelley: I think that whole lp is Dean's work.
	♥ 12:41pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, Johnny!
	12:43pm clarke: i think jan sings on a few tracks - had to get out of the hospital to do so
	12:44pm clarke: at least, that is what is portrayed in the flick Deadman's Curve
	12:45pm Dennis Diken: Mikey, mightily looking forward to both of your scheduled upcoming interviews!!
	♥ 12:46pm Michael Shelley: Clarke, we need to ask John Stamos! DD - me too!
	12:46pm Edward: Clarke, is that available streaming anywhere? Signed, too lazy to look it up
	12:46pm clarke: ha ha. no thnx.
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: There seems to be a divide as solid as that between "pop" vs. "soda" (vs. "Coke") between "firefly" and "lightning bug."
	12:47pm clarke: i caught it on television in the late 70's, but someone has to have it posted somewhere.
	12:48pm clarke: it is fairly cheezy, but well-intended.
	12:50pm clarke: HH - yes, in the south soda-pop is basically called whatever drink it might be; however, in some of the hinters, they would say "ya'll wanna orange coke?"
	♥ 12:51pm Handy Haversack: For me, one's a show, one's an insect. Also Lightnin' Bug Sweet Tea Vodka. Is that still a thing? As in the famous last words, "Boy, this sweet-tea vodka sure goes down smooth." clarke, growing up in Atlanta, we very much were (esp. at Waffle House) in the "I'll have a Coke"; "What kind of Coke you want, honey?"; "Orange Coke, please" school of thought!
	12:51pm Edward: Greil Marcus has an essay on it in his book THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY, so you know it’s respeckable.
	♥ 12:51pm Michael 98145: hey - how'd that firefly get in my pop? oh, wait. i don't drink pop.
	12:52pm DG: Wow, that Flat Five song sounds like something from 5o+ years ago, they're new?
	12:52pm clarke: ha ha - well, fortunate you were to have Waffle House!! (the first WH JUST opened in nola, last year!)
	♥ 12:53pm spodiodi: y'ins want a Pop or a Farscape?
	12:53pm davefromtoronto: why should he be nervous?
	12:54pm clarke: i did not know HH grew up in atlanta?!?
	♥ 12:54pm Handy Haversack: Oh man, Waffle House pretty much raised me! The one I went to do my homework, meet my friends, smoke cigarettes without parental interference, and maybe even talk to girls was like a second home. I had coffee privileges and could go behind the counter to pour my refills!
	12:55pm clarke: you from the 5Points? buckhead??
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: clarke, yup. My parents left NYC in ... '64? Drifted through Detroit, Chicago, Alabama, and ended up in Atlanta in '68. I was born there in '74. Came back up here in '93 to complete the circle! We lived first by Emory University and the CDC, then had to move to the NE side near I-85. I went to school right by Little Five Points my whole life, though.
	♥ 12:57pm spodiodi: thanks, Michael Shelley! thanks, Ruth!
	12:57pm clarke: would you have gone to shows at Fellini's?? mid-80's?? (dunno your age group)
	♥ 12:57pm Handy Haversack: Oh, shoot! Great Triumphant Return, MS! Fantastic stuff today! Are we putting Ruth out of a job?!
	♥ 12:57pm Hams: handy, my mom was thoroughly displeased when waffle house discontinued their buttermilk waffles.
	12:58pm clarke: this show still gets a B-Minus!!!!! ; ]
	♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack: Shows? No, though we ate at Fellini's on Ponce almost every day through high school. I don't remember their having shows. Where would the bands be? I saw shows in ATL basically '89-'93.
	♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack: 96 Rock!!
	♥ 12:59pm Michael 98145: The only Athens we've been to is in Georgia
	♥ 12:59pm Hams: christopher rude!
	12:59pm Ross T.: Thank you sir!
	12:59pm Dennis Diken: splendid show, Mikey!
	1:00pm clarke: fellini's was about the ONLY place to play in the 5 for a while there - the 688 downtown and Metro were in disarray
	♥ 1:00pm Frank In Queens: Nice show!
	♥ 1:00pm HyperDose: Thank you sir Michael!
	♥ 1:00pm Handy Haversack: Ah, OK, in L5P. Was the Star Bar there when you were? I can't remember when it opened.
	1:00pm Ross T.: Emerson Lake and Powell -- second prize is two tickets!
	1:02pm clarke: to be continued.....nex'week.
	♥ 1:04pm greg g: Thanks Mike! & Have a good week everyone!
