	♥ 11:09am Handy Haversack: I use a rotary for most non-bank-related phone calls, and you can really feel the snubbing of the boroughs when you're dialing the 718. And our pizza place has an 8, three 9s, and two 0s in the number. Whets the appetite!

	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: Hey, Dennis D, Squints, clarke, Hughie, Kenzo, Rev Rab, Frank, johnk77, HyperD, Corey, and all! As a Yankee fan it also always rankled that the boroughs were considered two digits less important than Boston!
	♥ 11:18am Don Gorden: CHARLEY CROCKETT, change Yo Mind
	11:19am P-90: *HELTON^
	11:19am clarke: handy - how's them critters???
	11:21am clarke: from the pen of Penn
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: We have some creepily springlike weather going on, clarke, so the front window is open wide for the first time in their lives -- the kittens are entranced. And currently fighting for preeminence on the window perch!
	11:22am clarke: nice, Handy!! that spring thang went thru here and i was known to have played hooky with a picnic or three.
	♥ 11:23am Hughie Considine: HH, that's the perfect description - creepy springlike weather. It's unnerving!
	♥ 11:23am Handy Haversack: You all packed up, clarke, and ready for the big move?
	♥ 11:24am HyperDose: You're about to have some fresh kitty PNG's coming your way, Handy. It's a full-on love affair over here!
	♥ 11:24am Squints: Git it on up.
	11:24am clarke: in the words of the new englander: take it while you can. @HH - naw, but getting organized. after the superbowl, i will dismantle the empire.
	11:25am PatrickMC: Welcome to the rhythm revue
	♥ 11:25am Frank In Queens: Where ya headed next, clarke? Back to NOLA?
	11:25am clarke: this won't be a 'big' move, btw. just taking a carload of stuff. will put rest of stuff in storage and come back for it later.
	♥ 11:25am Handy Haversack: That reminds me -- gotta get some new cat shelfies off the camera and into the profile. Gotcha, clarke. We're going to prep for the SB by going to listen to Nate K. spin some discs in souther Brooklyn.
	11:26am clarke: that's VERY cool!! dat boy got 'im some DISCS!!
	11:26am bob frm Plasticland milw: Milwaukee is in wisconsin not Illinois...milw is the home of Harvey Scales
	11:27am clarke: @Frank - quiet this morning??
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: We were going to go to Screaming Females, but there was confusion over the dates. K8 has a gig tonight on this side of the estuary, so we can't Jersey City it.
	♥ 11:28am Frank In Queens: @clarke, pretty much. Got a haircut and dropped some shoes off for fixin', and enjoyed that spring-like weather Handy was talking about.
	11:28am pp: Just that I hear Howie Klein so often on political talk shows, and politics is all he discusses. One time they came back from a commercial break and the host was playing a Romeo Void song, I happened to call in at that time, but kicked myself for not bragging that I knew his connection to 415 and Romeo Void 🤣 Down with Tyranny!
	♥ 11:28am Kotzwinkled: This cover came from the AVClub (RIP) Undercover series. Highly recommend looking through those vids on YouTube. Ted Leo doing Tears for Fears, etc.

	11:29am JSG: Lilly likes this band. Played me Glass House, which is a great great song.

	♥ 11:29am Greg from ZONE 5: Marissa shreds so goddam hard
	♥ 11:30am Frank In Queens: @clare, watched the hockey on TV as they were in Edmonton. Frustrating loss as they played well but couldn't score. Haircut always goes short as there's not as much to cut as there used t be!
	11:31am phat in lincoln: Morning!
	♥ 11:31am Handy Haversack: Crowdsourcing?
	11:31am clarke: ha ha - much loss at the Above Abode!!

	♥ 11:34am dale: that was very monkee-ish.
	11:35am clarke: Lay layed it DOWN!!
	♥ 11:36am Frank In Queens: @dale, I said the same thing to my wife about that song.
	♥ 11:36am Michael Shelley: Kickstarter... yes! And, Monkee-ish, YES!

	11:37am chalmers: Going to SOPAC Friday for the first time in forever to see Marcia Ball.
	11:38am johnk77: the video doc sam lay in bluesland i found quite entertaining great talking heads including elvin bishop & iggy pop
	♥ 11:38am HyperDose: Yeow!!!
	♥ 11:39am Pedro in Arlington: Sam also mentored Iggy in Chicago before the Stooges. And if you went to Sam's house, he'd pull out his home movies of Wolf and Muddy and Dylan, all in casual settings, no sound.
	♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: There, new kitten pix in the ol' profile. And one from the dog so he doesn't get jealous.
	11:40am clarke: i could NOT get into MH, MH when it came out - never tried to re-visit.
	♥ 11:41am Frank In Queens: @Handy, cute pics!
	11:41am phat in lincoln: My mom loved Mary Hartman Mary Hartman. I don't think I've seen any of it.
	♥ 11:41am Montmaster J: Wasn't Fernwood Tonight with Martin Mull a spin off of Mary Hartman? Used to love that show...What was his name? Garth Gimble?
	♥ 11:42am happymaan: @Michael Juniper's new Japanese vinyl on Bandcamp looks awesome, I love the pink!
	♥ 11:42am Frank In Queens: Yeah, congrats on the Japanese release, Michael!
	11:42am Ed From Jersey City: Mary Hartman, Dune and those two hippies going at it in The Joy of Sex always epitomized a certain creepy vibe that oozed from the 70s.
	♥ 11:43am Handy Haversack: They're getting big, Frank!
	♥ 11:43am JG: Was that Willie from a movie?
	11:43am howdy: Timbre? Like a lumberjack would yell but spelled different

	♥ 11:45am Listener Baby: Was hoping you'd play this one, Baby. A gem!
	11:45am clarke: it's in the music room, Frank.
	♥ 11:46am Michael Shelley: Oh yeah - so #1!
	11:47am frank zest: Mary Hartman Mary Hartman saw the death of Garth Gimbel whose twin brother would later host Fernwood tonight. another classic evening talk show starring Martin Mull as the twin Barth Gimbel!
	11:47am PatrickMC: What we used to call American post punk
	♥ 11:47am Hams: i'm in new york.
	11:47am Jon: Mike Shelly Here's the info for Sam Lay: From LP '' Sam Lay In Bluesland '' 1969 [Blue Thumb Records – BTS-14, USA].

	♥ 11:47am greg g: @ Pedro , yes there is a good section of the book Please Kill Me ( p 37 -38) where Iggy Pop talks about his time in Chicago with Sam Lay . Sam Lay also played with Howlin' Wolf.
	11:48am Rex: Montmaster J: Yes! Fernwood 2-Nite was a spin-off of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. My fave all time TV show. Happy Kyne and the Mirth-Makers forever!
	♥ 11:48am Michael Shelley: Jon - MUCH THANKS!
	11:48am clarke: Fernwood Tonight was MUCH better - one of the only spin-off's that was better (i can think of).
	11:48am Jon: You're welcome
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Very interesting to think of TheStooges as the attempt @ an original white suburban youth Blooz.
	11:49am clarke: WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!!!
	♥ 11:49am Don Gorden: What a great tune
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Truly is.
	♥ 11:50am evancuts: Fernwood 2nite was a spinoff from Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. It was a summer replacement after the first season of MHMH. Got a chance to talk w/ Fred Willard years ago. www.facebook.com...
	11:50am clarke: the other spin-off that is ALMOST better is Better Call Saul (which is more of a prequel)
	♥ 11:52am Handy Haversack: Off-topic, but I vastly prefer Better Call Saul. Totally bounced off Breaking Bad. Just could not care less about it. But we like BCS.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as Beefheart was astute enuff to realize it was about creating his own Original iteration of a Blooz...
	11:53am clarke: i can't agree, Handy -- but, Saul IS great. BB is one of the best ever as far as writing goes.
	11:53am bobob: @ hey Dennis D

	11:59am phat in lincoln: I dig new wave.
	12:00pm clarke: i always thought the title of this song was Never Say Never??
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: These are that category of trax that when it's 80s Nostalgia time - they were just great songs & trax then, & they are now.
	♥ 12:00pm Fuzzy: Me too.
	♥ 12:00pm Michael Shelley: NRBQ - June 15 -Debonair Music Hall, Teaneck, NJ. Anybody been there/played there?
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah playlist error.
	12:01pm clarke: hey Phat - what did you end up naming your fuzz pedal??
	12:02pm johnk77: ex-road manager here author is correct difference between college radio touring and major label in the before times was crashing on somebody's floor versus holiday inn/motel 6
	12:02pm phat in lincoln: @clarke still haven't yet! Lol. Probably need yo figure that out today!
	12:03pm pp: Whether they made money is a good question. Consider Hilly Krystal, he apparently did leave a small fortune in his will despite claiming he was always broke
	♥ 12:03pm Mike Sin: Such a great interview! I think one of the first records I picked up on 415 was an SVT single.
	12:03pm clarke: i think Handy got it right: Phat Phuzzz
	♥ 12:04pm greg g: Michael, kudos on the interview with Bill Kopp, will check out the book, another bunch of bands that Im not familiar with!

	12:06pm clarke: get a new dj!!
	12:08pm bobobobo: very jerry reed
	12:08pm phat in lincoln: @clarke that's definitely on the list
	♥ 12:08pm Handy Haversack: Heard this not too long ago ... Becky maybe? Thanks for the illuminating interview, MS!
	♥ 12:08pm Michael Shelley: A band I used to do sound for (in the 80s) would occasionally ask over the pa if anyone in the audience had a thick shag carpet we could sleep on.
	12:09pm clarke: the invention of the aero-bed saved my life.
	♥ 12:09pm Listener Baby: Two words. Willie's Underwear.
	12:10pm Tim from LH: Michael, Debonair used to be Mexicali Blues Cafe. Saw Graham Parker and The Figgs there, pretty small place.
	♥ 12:12pm Handy Haversack: Goblin just tried to post a comment while I was recycling some junk mail. They're getting too smart.
	12:12pm clarke: i liked goblin's post - very inciteful.
	12:12pm bobobobob: CTI yeah
	12:14pm PatrickMC: Bobby Irwin
	12:14pm phat in lincoln: "Jesus of Cool" is exactly right.
	♥ 12:15pm Frank In Queens: Double shot of Nick!

	12:19pm PatrickMC: @johnk77 👍🏻
	♥ 12:19pm minkwest: Rockin version of The Israelites! Wicked!
	♥ 12:19pm Handy Haversack: The listener and community radio DJ courtneynoir from Lincoln, NE, is doing the Drop In show tonight at 6 on the Rock and Soul stream: wfmu.org...
	12:19pm phat in lincoln: Who the hell are the Traveling Troubadors? Now I have to find out. It'd be funny if it's Dave Robel on drums. What label?
	12:19pm Scott from Denver: I went to college in Lincoln NE. Best years of my life.
	♥ 12:19pm Michael Shelley: ROTO label!
	♥ 12:19pm Listener Baby: Bongo Feet?
	12:19pm phat in lincoln: @phat in lincoln tune in! She's the shiz.
	12:22pm clarke: sometimes you find an instrument is 'magic' to write on/with.
	12:22pm phat in lincoln: @Handy Haversack that was supposed to be a reply to Handy about Courtney! Lol
	♥ 12:23pm Squints: Everlys move into a Brill Building phase. And Squints saw that it was good.
	12:23pm phat in lincoln: In Lincoln
	12:23pm clarke: and Squints raised a glass....
	♥ 12:24pm Squints: Is the same guitar player as on The Easy Way release a couple years back? Sweet, sweet economical licks.
	12:24pm phat in lincoln: Ah! ROTO Records. They put out Bobby Lowell stuff.
	♥ 12:25pm Handy Haversack: That "Runaway" -- textbook Number One! Have you ever ended up out and heard a band and they were totally Number Two? Like they'd listened to MS's show and just didn't get it? This has happened to me recently. So Number Two.
	♥ 12:25pm Michael Shelley: Sq - he's their other brother!
	♥ 12:25pm Michael Shelley: HH - too often!
	12:26pm clarke: Battle Of The Bands
	♥ 12:26pm Handy Haversack: Number Two: It's crap!
	♥ 12:27pm Greg from ZONE 5: I missed the Travelin' Troubadors!
	♥ 12:27pm Squints: I hear this Major Harris thang and get the feeling I've not been cheated at all. Good GOD, y'all.
	♥ 12:27pm greg g: @ Squints Yes!! diggin it
	12:27pm phat in lincoln: My Encyclopedia of Lincoln bands lists no members for The Travelin' Troubadours.
	♥ 12:29pm Handy Haversack: Jeez, with this weather they could have done a Second Saturday Bathroom-Free Record Day Sidewalk Sale down at the Magic Factory. Maybe no one believed it could be real.
	♥ 12:29pm drr: phat: they were probably travelin'.
	12:29pm clarke: you can't break an already broken heart...right?!?
	12:30pm phat in lincoln: @drr one would hope!
	12:30pm clarke: mornin' David!! i shall be joining your ranks soon.
	♥ 12:31pm drr: clarke: do you have a lease for March 1? Might be a tough day to move in.
	12:32pm clarke: my landlord (from my old pre-katrina place) is letting me move in prior to MG weekend!
	12:32pm phat in lincoln: Uh oh.
	12:33pm clarke: after the dust settles - hope we can grab a po-boy
	12:33pm P-90: love all the sexy “valve compressor “ talk
	♥ 12:33pm Iphone 11: damn that's a lot of links at the bottom!
	♥ 12:34pm Iphone 11: damn that's a lot of links at the bottom!
	♥ 12:34pm Iphone 11: sorry
	12:34pm clarke: it would actually be great to organize a #1 Hit luncheon at Charles Seafood, after mardi gras.
	♥ 12:35pm drr: sounds great, clarke.
	12:35pm P-90: Michael has TONS of bitchin links on his playlist page
	12:35pm clarke: we'll bring some yellow mustard!!
	♥ 12:38pm minkwest: Feeling good, shake 'em up!
	♥ 12:39pm Listener Baby: I love a good song and a bad dance.
	12:39pm dk50b: @Hughie Sorry to have missed that part of show, will definitely listen later. Game Theory's my absolute favorite band. Don't know how much you know about Scott Miller, but he grew up in Sacramento and formed his first bands while attending UC Davis, at the time all part of 916. After disbanding Game Theory his move to Oakland made him 415 adjacent. The geography nerd in loved his constant such references. Rayon Drive name checks Sacramento locations for example.
	♥ 12:39pm drr: this Guitar Slim is a toe-tapper.
	12:41pm clarke: that's very interesting, as a HUGE Game Theory fan, i used to wonder about such thangs.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only became aware of ScottMiller when efd did a memorial playlist. His trax always stop me in mine...
	12:41pm PatrickMC: Keely
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...original Sonny&Cher...
	♥ 12:43pm Listener Baby: Baby, as we all know. It’s no Theme From Ice Castles.
	12:43pm clarke: A to B.
	♥ 12:43pm Michael Shelley: LOL
	12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...'cept Louis can really sing...)
	12:44pm SeanG: hell yeah
	♥ 12:45pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, "Drip a Drop" feels worthy of a patented Squintsian "gGy!"!
	12:46pm clarke: hey that's patented - you pay NOW!!!
	♥ 12:46pm Squints: I dug it.
	♥ 12:47pm Squints: I grant a universal license.
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: Fair use! Fair use! Tommy Roe -- so smooth that numbers higher than one can't even register these tunes.
	♥ 12:47pm Dennis Diken: hey, wow, didn't know Tommy Roe did "Look Out Girl." PF Sloan - the greatest!
	♥ 12:48pm Squints: Might there in fact be NO minor Tommy Roe numbers?
	12:48pm clarke: love me some mick jagger.
	♥ 12:48pm Squints: What it reminds me, mostly, is to take a letter.
	♥ 12:48pm minkwest: Mck!
	12:48pm Thx: For the reminder that Romeo Void should’ve been so much bigger. Debora Iyall has one of the greatest voices ever. Always a pleasure sir
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..major/minor implies Columns not Roes...
	12:49pm PatrickMC: Swingin
	♥ 12:50pm drr: R.B. Greaves reminds me of a citified Freddy Fender.
	♥ 12:50pm Squints: drr, I can hear that now.
	12:51pm clarke: they shared a look, drr.
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not always but notably times reminded Bacharach is this whole considerable aspect of 1960s Musics as we actually experienced it that can get omitted from the RawkRevolution kinda narrative...
	♥ 12:52pm drr: Really? I've never seen R.B. that I know of.
	12:52pm dk50b: Any mention of my favorite 415 Records band, Wire Train?
	12:53pm clarke: there was a brief mention of Wiretrain's 2nd album, yes. no MovieTime today??
	♥ 12:54pm Handy Haversack: Even though I spent most of the show waiting for the exterminator, it went so fast! Two hours of pure number one! Thanks, Michael. Great stuff. Stay singular, pals!
	12:54pm phat in lincoln: My God, the sound of Jonathan Richman's voice just calms me.
	♥ 12:54pm Squints: I remember when Chamber Of Hellos was in the heaviest heavy rotation on WLIR.
	12:54pm Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU!
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stand for #1s !
	12:55pm Glistener MW: Karens ruining Yeti’s errands once again. ;_;
	♥ 12:55pm Greg from ZONE 5: Me & Dave!

	♥ 12:56pm greg g: Thanks Michael !! Have a great weekend everyone!
	♥ 12:56pm Corey: Thanks for the great show Michael! Enjoyed tuning in during breaks in entertaining a toddler. Take care all!
	12:56pm clarke: that's a strange combo!! ha ha ha ha.
	♥ 12:57pm Frank In Queens: I know hahaha. felt strange to type it out!
	♥ 12:57pm minkwest: I love call in stories.
	12:57pm clarke: i have been watching the series The Killing - it is just okay.
	12:57pm dk50b: Check out Wire Train's Between Two Words. Wall to wall toe tappin power pop.
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I can vouch for Snowman ...He's Straight...
	♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack: That combo is very the campus house HH lived in sophomore year of college, Frank!
	♥ 12:58pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, the US Killing annoyed the hell out of me.
	12:58pm clarke: it's a terrible deal. worst we've ever had. good nite.
	12:58pm Tim from LH: Peter Criss is a very good customer of my sister’s eyeglass store down the Jersey Shore, he’s a resident.
	♥ 1:00pm Will the Sound Guy: Thank you Michael, great show!!
	♥ 1:00pm minkwest: Va va Voom! thanks so much!

	11:09am pp: re 415, might as well talk to Howie Klein who is very accessible, especially if you want to discuss grassroots politics.
	♥ 11:09am Handy Haversack: I use a rotary for most non-bank-related phone calls, and you can really feel the snubbing of the boroughs when you're dialing the 718. And our pizza place has an 8, three 9s, and two 0s in the number. Whets the appetite!
	♥ 11:10am Hughie Considine: Proud 917 here. greetings all!
	11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always wondered if the MobyGrape '805' was actually about SantaBarbara county - probly not...

	11:12am clarke: hey hey hey now
	11:12am TimG: Original title: She’s A Body Mover....too racy for the label so it was changed (via Augie Myers). Times have changed, eh?
	11:13am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I remember it felt annoying when they switched us from 212 to 718, so much longer to dial
	♥ 11:13am Don Gorden: YO MIKE WHERE'S MY SHOES! !!, love that Rock Garden tune
	♥ 11:13am Hughie Considine: Scott Miller references a CA area code in "I've Tried Subtlety" by Game Theory: "All the kids from 916 came down"
	11:13am Bob: Good morning! Making the scene from Ann Arbor in real time for a change. That country Beatleish thing just killed me.
	♥ 11:13am Michael Shelley: @pp: so sorry@
	♥ 11:14am Squints: Odetta just KNOWS she's lyin' a field of grass somewhere.

	11:17am P-90: Did someone mention Percy Kelton…?
	11:17am clarke: one of my favorite Al solos. @bob - it does seem like joey might be done, sadly.
	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: Hey, Dennis D, Squints, clarke, Hughie, Kenzo, Rev Rab, Frank, johnk77, HyperD, Corey, and all! As a Yankee fan it also always rankled that the boroughs were considered two digits less important than Boston!
	♥ 11:18am Don Gorden: CHARLEY CROCKETT, change Yo Mind
	11:19am P-90: *HELTON^
	11:19am clarke: handy - how's them critters???

	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: We have some creepily springlike weather going on, clarke, so the front window is open wide for the first time in their lives -- the kittens are entranced. And currently fighting for preeminence on the window perch!
	11:22am clarke: nice, Handy!! that spring thang went thru here and i was known to have played hooky with a picnic or three.
	♥ 11:23am Hughie Considine: HH, that's the perfect description - creepy springlike weather. It's unnerving!
	♥ 11:23am Handy Haversack: You all packed up, clarke, and ready for the big move?
	♥ 11:24am HyperDose: You're about to have some fresh kitty PNG's coming your way, Handy. It's a full-on love affair over here!

	11:27am clarke: @Frank - quiet this morning??
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: We were going to go to Screaming Females, but there was confusion over the dates. K8 has a gig tonight on this side of the estuary, so we can't Jersey City it.
	♥ 11:28am Frank In Queens: @clarke, pretty much. Got a haircut and dropped some shoes off for fixin', and enjoyed that spring-like weather Handy was talking about.
	11:28am pp: Just that I hear Howie Klein so often on political talk shows, and politics is all he discusses. One time they came back from a commercial break and the host was playing a Romeo Void song, I happened to call in at that time, but kicked myself for not bragging that I knew his connection to 415 and Romeo Void 🤣 Down with Tyranny!
	♥ 11:28am Kotzwinkled: This cover came from the AVClub (RIP) Undercover series. Highly recommend looking through those vids on YouTube. Ted Leo doing Tears for Fears, etc.

	11:38am johnk77: the video doc sam lay in bluesland i found quite entertaining great talking heads including elvin bishop & iggy pop
	♥ 11:38am HyperDose: Yeow!!!
	♥ 11:39am Pedro in Arlington: Sam also mentored Iggy in Chicago before the Stooges. And if you went to Sam's house, he'd pull out his home movies of Wolf and Muddy and Dylan, all in casual settings, no sound.
	♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: There, new kitten pix in the ol' profile. And one from the dog so he doesn't get jealous.

	♥ 11:42am happymaan: @Michael Juniper's new Japanese vinyl on Bandcamp looks awesome, I love the pink!
	♥ 11:42am Frank In Queens: Yeah, congrats on the Japanese release, Michael!
	11:42am Ed From Jersey City: Mary Hartman, Dune and those two hippies going at it in The Joy of Sex always epitomized a certain creepy vibe that oozed from the 70s.

	♥ 11:47am greg g: @ Pedro , yes there is a good section of the book Please Kill Me ( p 37 -38) where Iggy Pop talks about his time in Chicago with Sam Lay . Sam Lay also played with Howlin' Wolf.
	11:48am Rex: Montmaster J: Yes! Fernwood 2-Nite was a spin-off of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. My fave all time TV show. Happy Kyne and the Mirth-Makers forever!
	♥ 11:48am Michael Shelley: Jon - MUCH THANKS!
	11:48am clarke: Fernwood Tonight was MUCH better - one of the only spin-off's that was better (i can think of).
	11:48am Jon: You're welcome
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Very interesting to think of TheStooges as the attempt @ an original white suburban youth Blooz.
	11:49am clarke: WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!!!
	♥ 11:49am Don Gorden: What a great tune
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Truly is.
	♥ 11:50am evancuts: Fernwood 2nite was a spinoff from Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. It was a summer replacement after the first season of MHMH. Got a chance to talk w/ Fred Willard years ago. www.facebook.com...
	11:50am clarke: the other spin-off that is ALMOST better is Better Call Saul (which is more of a prequel)
	♥ 11:52am Handy Haversack: Off-topic, but I vastly prefer Better Call Saul. Totally bounced off Breaking Bad. Just could not care less about it. But we like BCS.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as Beefheart was astute enuff to realize it was about creating his own Original iteration of a Blooz...
	11:53am clarke: i can't agree, Handy -- but, Saul IS great. BB is one of the best ever as far as writing goes.
	11:53am bobob: @ hey Dennis D

	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: These are that category of trax that when it's 80s Nostalgia time - they were just great songs & trax then, & they are now.
	♥ 12:00pm Fuzzy: Me too.
	♥ 12:00pm Michael Shelley: NRBQ - June 15 -Debonair Music Hall, Teaneck, NJ. Anybody been there/played there?
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah playlist error.
	12:01pm clarke: hey Phat - what did you end up naming your fuzz pedal??
	12:02pm johnk77: ex-road manager here author is correct difference between college radio touring and major label in the before times was crashing on somebody's floor versus holiday inn/motel 6
	12:02pm phat in lincoln: @clarke still haven't yet! Lol. Probably need yo figure that out today!
	12:03pm pp: Whether they made money is a good question. Consider Hilly Krystal, he apparently did leave a small fortune in his will despite claiming he was always broke
	♥ 12:03pm Mike Sin: Such a great interview! I think one of the first records I picked up on 415 was an SVT single.
	12:03pm clarke: i think Handy got it right: Phat Phuzzz
	♥ 12:04pm greg g: Michael, kudos on the interview with Bill Kopp, will check out the book, another bunch of bands that Im not familiar with!

	12:06pm clarke: get a new dj!!
	12:08pm bobobobo: very jerry reed
	12:08pm phat in lincoln: @clarke that's definitely on the list
	♥ 12:08pm Handy Haversack: Heard this not too long ago ... Becky maybe? Thanks for the illuminating interview, MS!
	♥ 12:08pm Michael Shelley: A band I used to do sound for (in the 80s) would occasionally ask over the pa if anyone in the audience had a thick shag carpet we could sleep on.
	12:09pm clarke: the invention of the aero-bed saved my life.
	♥ 12:09pm Listener Baby: Two words. Willie's Underwear.
	12:10pm Tim from LH: Michael, Debonair used to be Mexicali Blues Cafe. Saw Graham Parker and The Figgs there, pretty small place.
	♥ 12:12pm Handy Haversack: Goblin just tried to post a comment while I was recycling some junk mail. They're getting too smart.
	12:12pm clarke: i liked goblin's post - very inciteful.

	12:19pm phat in lincoln: Who the hell are the Traveling Troubadors? Now I have to find out. It'd be funny if it's Dave Robel on drums. What label?
	12:19pm Scott from Denver: I went to college in Lincoln NE. Best years of my life.
	♥ 12:19pm Michael Shelley: ROTO label!
	♥ 12:19pm Listener Baby: Bongo Feet?
	12:19pm phat in lincoln: @phat in lincoln tune in! She's the shiz.

	12:22pm phat in lincoln: @Handy Haversack that was supposed to be a reply to Handy about Courtney! Lol

	12:23pm clarke: and Squints raised a glass....
	♥ 12:24pm Squints: Is the same guitar player as on The Easy Way release a couple years back? Sweet, sweet economical licks.
	12:24pm phat in lincoln: Ah! ROTO Records. They put out Bobby Lowell stuff.
	♥ 12:25pm Handy Haversack: That "Runaway" -- textbook Number One! Have you ever ended up out and heard a band and they were totally Number Two? Like they'd listened to MS's show and just didn't get it? This has happened to me recently. So Number Two.
	♥ 12:25pm Michael Shelley: Sq - he's their other brother!
	♥ 12:25pm Michael Shelley: HH - too often!
	12:26pm clarke: Battle Of The Bands
	♥ 12:26pm Handy Haversack: Number Two: It's crap!
	♥ 12:27pm Greg from ZONE 5: I missed the Travelin' Troubadors!
	♥ 12:27pm Squints: I hear this Major Harris thang and get the feeling I've not been cheated at all. Good GOD, y'all.
	♥ 12:27pm greg g: @ Squints Yes!! diggin it
	12:27pm phat in lincoln: My Encyclopedia of Lincoln bands lists no members for The Travelin' Troubadours.
	♥ 12:29pm Handy Haversack: Jeez, with this weather they could have done a Second Saturday Bathroom-Free Record Day Sidewalk Sale down at the Magic Factory. Maybe no one believed it could be real.
	♥ 12:29pm drr: phat: they were probably travelin'.
	12:29pm clarke: you can't break an already broken heart...right?!?
	12:30pm phat in lincoln: @drr one would hope!

	12:35pm clarke: we'll bring some yellow mustard!!
	♥ 12:38pm minkwest: Feeling good, shake 'em up!
	♥ 12:39pm Listener Baby: I love a good song and a bad dance.
	12:39pm dk50b: @Hughie Sorry to have missed that part of show, will definitely listen later. Game Theory's my absolute favorite band. Don't know how much you know about Scott Miller, but he grew up in Sacramento and formed his first bands while attending UC Davis, at the time all part of 916. After disbanding Game Theory his move to Oakland made him 415 adjacent. The geography nerd in loved his constant such references. Rayon Drive name checks Sacramento locations for example.
	♥ 12:39pm drr: this Guitar Slim is a toe-tapper.
	12:41pm clarke: that's very interesting, as a HUGE Game Theory fan, i used to wonder about such thangs.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only became aware of ScottMiller when efd did a memorial playlist. His trax always stop me in mine...
	12:41pm PatrickMC: Keely
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...original Sonny&Cher...

	♥ 12:43pm Michael Shelley: LOL
	12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...'cept Louis can really sing...)
	12:44pm SeanG: hell yeah
	♥ 12:45pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, "Drip a Drop" feels worthy of a patented Squintsian "gGy!"!
	12:46pm clarke: hey that's patented - you pay NOW!!!
	♥ 12:46pm Squints: I dug it.
	♥ 12:47pm Squints: I grant a universal license.
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: Fair use! Fair use! Tommy Roe -- so smooth that numbers higher than one can't even register these tunes.
	♥ 12:47pm Dennis Diken: hey, wow, didn't know Tommy Roe did "Look Out Girl." PF Sloan - the greatest!
	♥ 12:48pm Squints: Might there in fact be NO minor Tommy Roe numbers?
	12:48pm clarke: love me some mick jagger.
	♥ 12:48pm Squints: What it reminds me, mostly, is to take a letter.
	♥ 12:48pm minkwest: Mck!
	12:48pm Thx: For the reminder that Romeo Void should’ve been so much bigger. Debora Iyall has one of the greatest voices ever. Always a pleasure sir
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..major/minor implies Columns not Roes...
	12:49pm PatrickMC: Swingin
	♥ 12:50pm drr: R.B. Greaves reminds me of a citified Freddy Fender.
	♥ 12:50pm Squints: drr, I can hear that now.
	12:51pm clarke: they shared a look, drr.
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not always but notably times reminded Bacharach is this whole considerable aspect of 1960s Musics as we actually experienced it that can get omitted from the RawkRevolution kinda narrative...
	♥ 12:52pm drr: Really? I've never seen R.B. that I know of.
	12:52pm dk50b: Any mention of my favorite 415 Records band, Wire Train?
	12:53pm clarke: there was a brief mention of Wiretrain's 2nd album, yes. no MovieTime today??
	♥ 12:54pm Handy Haversack: Even though I spent most of the show waiting for the exterminator, it went so fast! Two hours of pure number one! Thanks, Michael. Great stuff. Stay singular, pals!
	12:54pm phat in lincoln: My God, the sound of Jonathan Richman's voice just calms me.
	♥ 12:54pm Squints: I remember when Chamber Of Hellos was in the heaviest heavy rotation on WLIR.
	12:54pm Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU!
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stand for #1s !
	12:55pm Glistener MW: Karens ruining Yeti’s errands once again. ;_;

	♥ 12:57pm minkwest: I love call in stories.
	12:57pm clarke: i have been watching the series The Killing - it is just okay.
	12:57pm dk50b: Check out Wire Train's Between Two Words. Wall to wall toe tappin power pop.
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I can vouch for Snowman ...He's Straight...
	♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack: That combo is very the campus house HH lived in sophomore year of college, Frank!
	♥ 12:58pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, the US Killing annoyed the hell out of me.
	12:58pm clarke: it's a terrible deal. worst we've ever had. good nite.
	12:58pm Tim from LH: Peter Criss is a very good customer of my sister’s eyeglass store down the Jersey Shore, he’s a resident.
