	11:15am Pedro in Arlington: I'm so old I remember when Marshall Crenshaw had hi own Saturday radio show in the NY metro area. Somewhat inferior station.
	11:16am LesleyK: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:14 Thank you! Glad you liked it!
	11:16am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:14 Impulse. Lol. I was listening to Pretenders, "Lovers of Today" late last night and was reminded how much I love that sound. It's that or a Leslie...

	11:16am Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:13 'ello clarke!

	11:17am clarke: ay mate!!
	11:17am pp: @Pedro Marshall had a WFUV show as of a few years ago. did it go away during the pandemic?
	11:17am MrDeb: Not to be confused with a cinnamon girl
	11:17am Squints: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:15 Well, maybe not for that few hours. 8^)
	11:17am LesleyK: I picked up this Marshall Crenshaw album on vinyl in Kingston NY just last year. Came across it at a cool shop up there
	11:17am Hughie Considine: I'm so old I saw Marshall Crenshaw play at the Chance in Poughkeepsie, playing all the hits from his debut LP.
	11:17am Listener Baby: The man had great ideas. No doubt
	11:17am Squints: ↳ Song: "Cynical Girl" by "Marshall Crenshaw" Another one I don't bother favoriting because DUH.
	11:17am jon: will love discussing the great Richard Gotteher...a true legend.....
	11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:12 Oo. Like Hendrix & RobinTrower. Way kewl. Always wanted to...
	11:18am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:16 hey, i have this mini=pedal that does a REALLY good job at the leslie thang - very cheap. let me find it for the type...
	11:18am Cooh John: Thought it was Cinnamon Girl for a moment.💆
	11:18am Ross T.: Ahhhhh, this was #1 for like 6 weeks right?
	11:18am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:18 Sweet
	11:19am pp: Ron Sexsmith should be fun. On Twitter he is a pun-master. RS
	11:19am Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Cynical Girl" by "Marshall Crenshaw" Looking forward to the Marshall Crenshaw interview! Played the hell out of this LP as soon as I got it back in the day. Saw him around that time at the Asbury Park Convention Hall opening for Rockpile. So good!
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Travelin'" by "David Marks and The Marksmen" Pretty Woman Goes Surfing - what a kewl sound.
	11:20am phat in lincoln: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:18 I'm surprised I don't have one already
	11:21am Dennis Diken: ↳ LesleyK @11:17 hi LesleyK! was that Rocket Number Nine in Kingston? the great Doug Wygal's shop? cool store, to be sure!
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:20 ...or Smithereens' 'Time & Time Again' which is fun for Gittar...
	11:21am Dennis Diken: David Marks totally rules!
	11:21am clarke: hughie = tough season for tarheels. (i should talk, it is the first time EVER lsu has been at the bottom of the SEC!!).
	11:22am Mr. Fine Wine: Saw MC at Toad's in New Haven circa '83 and a girl in the crowd preshow thought I (skinny, modestly new wavey haircut, round glasses) was him!
	11:22am LesleyK: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:21 Hi Dennis! Yes, that was the shop!! I picked up a bunch of cool records the day I was there.
	11:22am Pedro in Arlington: Time for Billy Joel to champion Marshall Crenshaw for that thing in Cleveland. It'd be like George Santos touting the legacy of Jimmy Carter. Zevon is his Dag Hammarskjöld.
	11:22am clarke: marks could BARELY play ANY guitar when the beach boys forced him onstage - he certainly made up for that!!
	11:23am phat in lincoln: ↳ Mike Sin @11:19 Good lord, what a lineup.
	11:23am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:21 Happily I am not emotionally involved with the local hoops scene! One less thing to stress about.
	11:24am Dennis Diken: ↳ LesleyK @11:22 did you meet Doug when you were at the shop? a true champ, I say!
	11:24am clarke: yah got that rite!
	11:24am Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:22 when was that, clarke?
	11:24am paul: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:22 Go to vote.rockhall.com and vote for Warren. You can vote once a day.
	11:24am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:22 David Marks and Carl Wilson took guitar lessons together at a local shop using borrowed Rickenbacker student models, then I think they both took lessons from John Maus later of the Walker Bros. Marks could play...Murry Wilson couldn't stand him though and eventually canned him.
	11:25am Creature Boy: Penny was marries to Sue Thompson of "Paper Tiger" 🎶 fame
	11:25am Creature Boy: Married
	11:25am phat in lincoln: That's a great name for this subgenre.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:24 supposedly david marks could barely play back when the beach boys started - he just looked cool and was their friend.
	11:26am paul: Sounds like the Coasters.
	11:27am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:25 hey phat - the name of the mini-pedal is Soul Shiver by Moder. it is really good - esp for the $.
	11:28am HungryFreak: ↳ paul @11:24 As long as Chuck D. and Dolly are in there. That's the important thing.
	11:28am wenzo: Aren’t they all big corporate teams?
	11:28am pottybear: Other team hint Barbecue
	11:28am LesleyK: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:24 Oh I'm not sure, I may have...I didn't ask his name. Next time!
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard on a Beatles-themed podcast about how MC was a 'John' in Beatlemania - but didn't feel like doing the impersonation / theater aspect of it as well as the music. All of which is kewl.
	11:28am paul: The Kelce brothers will play against each other.
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: Nutshell: Philly is awful and must be destroyed.
	11:28am Hughie Considine: As Howard DeVoto said in "Philadelphia," Maybe it's right to be nervous now" (if you're a Philadelphia fan?)
	11:29am Cooh John: First time in a while both teams have the best record.
	11:29am Jessie: There will be riots in Philly regardless of the outcome of the game.
	11:29am paul: Philly is a slight favorite.
	11:29am Ross T.: In elementary school back in the day looking at the pics on the first few Beach Boy albums it was David Marks we wanted to emulate with the flip blond bangs. More than Dennis even. It was a true mystery that he disappeared and was replaced on the album covers by a middle aged man.
	11:29am drr: First Super Bowl with two black quarterbacks. Both Patrick Mahomes 9Kansas City) and Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia) are excellent players, Mahomes may urn out to be the best qb ever in the league. Two excellent teams, very well matched.
	11:29am Moammar: Looking forward to my 27th straight year of not watching the game. Great time for a grocery run.
	11:29am gf2002: Two dangerous quarterbacks, two solid offenses, Philly's defense is better than KC. Philly for the win.
	11:30am Ballpark Frank: Yes, that was a great podcast - interesting history for that tune!
	11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:27 I'll check it out! Thanks.
	11:30am Handy Haversack: Hey now, Michael and all. Cooking, cleaning, really failing to have a weekend over here. Glad to be hearing you. Apologies in advance for the vacuuming.
	11:30am Ciggy: Close game Exciting game - NO! EAGLES FLY
	11:30am Hughie Considine: Ha. This is great.
	11:30am HungryFreak: I bought shares of Cheez-Wiz inc. last week. Just going for the short term bump, then I'm back into bonds.
	11:30am jpuva: The story of this game is that the two teams are incredibly evenly matched (same W/L record, same number of points scored, ...). It is all gonna come down to Mahomes' injured ankle
	11:30am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:24 this is true, later! marks was supposedly nabbing all the chicks, and murry didn't like that. but, he says he could barely do basic chords when they first started. carl was more advanced.
	11:31am Gary: It’s a toss up. Philly is real strong. KC QB is a magician if his ankle holds up.
	11:31am Dennis Diken: ↳ gf2002 @11:24 that's my understanding too, gf2002. some say that the Beach Boys became a rock'n'roll band when David joined. prior to that they were mostly a folky/doo wop/4 Freshmen-type outfit. there's alot of various lore out there. DM sez he wanted out of the group, citing lots of bickering, etc. he's been known to speak well of Murry, interestingly.
	11:31am HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 Good morning Handy, K8, and associated beasts!
	11:32am Handy Haversack: I think it'll be exciting. The best QB, coach, and offense in football I(and maybe the best QB and coach of all time) vs. the best defense, a young exciting QB, and a team that will try anything? Should be one of the better Super Bowls. One hopes!
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:31 All really interesting.
	11:32am Corey: Mahomes is really fun to watch. Pretty much guaranteed to make a few throws that blow your mind. I might cheer for the Chiefs, but the tomahawk chopping from their fans in the stands is hard to stomach.
	11:32am Dennis Diken: David has said that he's the sole guitarist on "Your Summer Dream" and he plays that great lick at the end of the bridge on "Our Car Club."
	11:33am HyperDose: Hey Dennis! Looked up that Maltshop memories cruise. They get a lot of great acts!
	11:33am LesleyK: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:24 He did mention that Marshall had been in the shop before!
	11:33am Ciggy: Plus Rhianna at Halftime!
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 Bagpipe sez cut it out!!
	11:33am jacky: dressed up as rambo...playing with a Rubik's cube...and my Atari 2600...listening to Marshall Crenshaw's debut on my walkman....
	11:33am Dennis Diken: ↳ LesleyK @11:33 John Sebastian, t' boot!
	11:34am LesleyK: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:33 Nice!
	11:34am Pedro in Arlington: The late Doug Fieger's brother, Jeffrey, is still lawyering and running TV ads in Detroit. He was Dr. Kevorkian's counsel.
	11:34am DG: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:15 Yes, that radio show (on a station that shares 3 LETTERS with WFMU) was on Sat. nights (or Sun.) for awhile. Played a real range of stuff---I tuned in once, heard what I thought was some electronic/noise band & it turned out to be an excerpt from Metal Machine Music. I think Marshall stopped doing it so he could work on his book or doc. (on Tom Wilson, hopefully he'll talk about that).
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:32 oh yeah - he learned FAST!!
	11:35am gf2002: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:31 David Marks and Carl's musical tastes were much closer than Al Jardine's, David and Carl were into Rock and roll, Chuck Berry, Dick Dale, etc and Jardine was a stone-cold folk musician obsessed with the Kingston Trio. The fact Al plays stand-up bass on their very first recordings says it all about the influences each rhythm guitarist brought to the group. David's dad Elmer was their de facto tour manager in those early days, driving them to their gigs and schlepping gear.
	11:35am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Jessie @11:29 The cops are probably greasing all the street poles even as we speak.
	11:36am Dennis Diken: ↳ HyperDose @11:33 yeah, I played Malt Shop Memories Cruise with Ronnie Spector a few years ago - got to hang with Geator (RIP), Bobby Rydell (RIP) and Chris Montez!
	11:36am Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @11:35 Carl & David had more of a "team" rhythm, approach
	11:37am gf2002: ↳ Song: "I Say A Little Prayer (backing track)" by "Burt B... When I first got this collection of Bacharach sessions through friends, including this track in multiple mixes/takes, I nearly cried. So perfect. Still don't know where it came from, but bless whoever leaked it way back when.
	11:37am HungryFreak: ↳ DG @11:34 I caught his show one night while driving and didn't know what it was. A very crazy eclectic mix that night. Turned out the common factor to it all was Tom Wilson.
	11:37am dreamyandseedy: hello all! just now starting to listen to this show every weekend. i always learn so many new things! even about football
	11:37am drr: The guitar part on this Bacharach is interesting.
	11:38am Ciggy: Posted once before Saw Marshall Crenshaw at The Bottom Line. Me and the Boys asked Meg Griffin & her WNEW-FM crew to dance in the aisles (which are tight). Respectfully, she declined
	11:38am PatrickMC: Hal David is underappreciated
	11:38am andy fuchs: Vinnie Bell "chicking" away....
	11:39am drr: ↳ PatrickMC @11:38 Very.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ Ciggy @11:38 Man, I remember WNEW running ads for Marshall at The Bottom Line all the time! Pity I was a bit too young to attend.
	11:39am Dennis Diken: ↳ gf2002 @11:35 and for my money, David's rhythm playing is so integral to the appeal and integrity of the early Beach Boys records! ie: "Surfin' USA" - it's so prominent there ("treble up, boys!")
	11:39am drr: ↳ andy fuchs @11:38 thanks, I wondered!
	11:39am gf2002: ↳ andy fuchs @11:38 Vinnie's calling card!
	11:39am Greg from ZONE 5: I know this isn't exactly a hot take on the FMU comments boards, but I never got Ri Ri. She has so many literal #1 hits, but they all sound so flat. That said I do often find myself saying "Bitch better have my money" when I'm at the ATM.
	11:39am andy fuchs: And yes, I saw charts at Vinnies house. "Vinnie chick"...seriously. Hash marks, no notes, just notating where to "chick"...
	11:39am HungryFreak: Is the Aretha Franklin version of "...Prayer" the greatest background vocal arrangement in all of pop?
	11:39am phat in lincoln: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:39 Gonna be at yr Knuckleheads show in KC in March.
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I Say A Little Prayer (backing track)" by "Burt B... My 2Cent tribute to BB : www.facebook.com...
	11:40am Mr. Fine Wine: Some Roger Millerishness to Sonny's vocal here
	11:40am Dennis Diken: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:39 alright! please say hello at the show!
	11:41am andy fuchs: Vinnie was particularly prominent on Frankie Valli's solo and Four Seasons stuff. Do you know the way to San Jose, chicka chick :). Love and miss you Vinnie
	11:41am drr: ↳ PatrickMC @11:38 "Alfie" is a great melody but that lyric, that barely even rhymes, if it does, puts it over the top. I'm a big fan of Dee Dee Warwick's version. (She's Dionne's sister.)
	11:41am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:39 how many hours from lincoln to KS??
	11:41am DG: Think I first heard Marshall on that station (NEW), at least on Vin Scelsa's show. I'd just moved to NYC (from the burbs) when his 1st came out & it was like the soundtrack of that summer....plus his brother (& drummer) also lived in our the building (along with Johnny Ramone, but that's another story). Saw MC at My Father's Place, & later at a party for a now-defunct rock magazine at the Ritz (as it was called then). Probably saw him in the last days of CBGBs when a lot of performers returned to do shows....I think he did an ABBA tune then.
	11:42am gf2002: I think Bacharach was the type of arranger who wrote nearly everything for the musicians. Like Thom Bell with the Philly Soul sessions in the 70's. I'm sure even Vinnie Bell's "chick chicks" were scored out because they're so wildly off the beat sometimes but they fit the arrangement perfectly. Like Walk On By
	11:42am PatrickMC: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:39 Saw Marshall tear it up at Bottom Line around the time of Good Evening, with Kenny Aranoff doing the big drum thing. Rocking gig. TMBG opened!
	11:43am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:41 About 3. It's an easy drive. Although KC driving is horrible.
	11:43am Morphe’: There was a book called “My Dog Is Deaf and I Am Blind”
	11:43am gf2002: ↳ andy fuchs @11:39 That is great info! Wow. I'm surprised he kept the charts! Love Vinnie Bell.
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:39 Just saw a two-hour 'cut' on YTs of the Macca-Rubin thing. Paul's anecdote about pushing the EMI engineers to put more Treble on Nowhere Man's Strats - & then more & more...
	11:43am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:41 Will do!
	11:43am phat in lincoln: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:40 Will do!
	11:44am Michael Shelley: ↳ PatrickMC @11:42 Was there - Kenny played SO HARD made me uncomfortable at first, but he really drove the bus!
	11:44am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:43 oh, that's not a bad drive - i always think it is further!! should be fun!
	11:45am Dennis Diken: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:43 see? Murry knew!
	11:45am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:44 I don't go there often enough. It's a great town and the weather should be great.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:44 for my $ robert crenshaw kicks aronoff's ass!!
	11:45am Baja Joe: Good morning Michael and all
	11:45am gf2002: There would be no electric sitar without Vinnie Bell! And Bacharach's classics wouldn't have that crazy sonic hook Vinnie's "chicks" provided.
	11:46am 🙉: Well this is one song that could certainly be read/heard the wrong way. Yikes.
	11:49am gf2002: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:43 I saw that too! Very enjoyable. Nowhere Man is the closest the Beatles got to trying to copy an LA studio pop session. Brian Wilson, Byrds, etc. Then George did it outright on "If I Needed Someone". Nowhere Man is pure LA 1965 pop, and that treble-heavy Fender guitar was one of the trademarks. Thanks in part to Carl and David Marks back in '62-'63!
	11:49am andy fuchs: @gf2002, not only ton's of charts, but many he corrected. Arrangers (Charlie Caello and a few others) specifically wrote for Vinnie "water sound", Sitar, and chicks were annotated, A few charts I saw had notes from Vinnie where a sharp or flat was incorrect...lol. Tons of charts that I sadly couldn't find a practical means to rehome.
	11:49am clarke: for contrast, ya'll look up Taste The Biscuit on youtube (yer welcome!!!)!!
	11:50am PatrickMC: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:44 Yes! I recall the drum kit postioned front right, and I was sitting on that side, so it was pretty dominating at times but a great show.
	11:50am sonnyspop: ↳ PatrickMC @11:42 That's the show where I swore Kenny Aronoff did Pete Townshend's windmill, except on drums.
	11:51am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Taste The Soup" by "Buck Loves Kim Shattuck" went down the Lisa rabbithole some months ago - that "50/50 2020: A Decade of Doing it for Love" comp is full of wonderful surprises. Including Poke Your Eye Out!
	11:51am Dennis Diken: ↳ andy fuchs @11:49 hi andy! did Vinnie talk much about drummers Buddy Saltzman, Gary Chester and Herb Lovelle?
	11:52am Morphe’: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 Met a guy =1979 who told me he played an electronic cello and I told him I did not believe such a thing existed and he competed me to a show and it was amazing
	11:52am jpuva: I always wonder if "My Favorite Waste of Time" would have been a bigger hit if he didn't opt for the lo-fi, 4-track cassette version. This is the most number one of all the number one songs!
	11:52am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Your My Favorite Waste Of Time" by "Marshall Cren... This is probably my favorite MC song. It's crazy that it was originally just a demo version on a single b-side.
	11:52am gf2002: ↳ andy fuchs @11:49 @Andy: Wow, my mind is blown! Isn't that Vinnie's "water sound" on the Airport soundtrack? Did all those charts survive? They could find a home at a music school library archive or similar outlet. I'd love to see anything like that published, or scan them and put them online. I hope they still exist somewhere
	11:53am HyperDose: ↳ clarke @11:49 That's an instant classic!
	11:53am Squints: ↳ Song: "Your My Favorite Waste Of Time" by "Marshall Cren... The langorous pace here never really did it for me. I like the harder Merseyesque approach on his Mountain Stage around 1990 with Mitch Easter. But one of my Number One-est songs.
	11:53am Morphe’: ↳ Morphe’ @11:52 A METALIC electronic cello
	11:53am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Your My Favorite Waste Of Time" by "Marshall Cren... greatest B-side here. I have never seen Marshall with a band, so I guess I only have half of the story
	11:53am Gary: Marshall Crenshaw’s show on FUV was wonderful. Especially his themes; melotrons, DanElectros, etc.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ McGroovey @11:52 an interview i read with crenshaw got me interested in getting a 4-track - starting the ball rolling fer sure.
	11:54am Dano59: ↳ Squints @11:53 i love how the recording falls apart at the end; and I've been tracking it ever since Freedy Johnston recognized its greatness
	11:55am Mr. Fine Wine: Somehow my uncle ended up with the publishing to many of the Rationals' original songs, through their mutual relationship with Ollie McLaughlin.
	11:55am DG: I have this ("Favorite Waste...") as a b-side. It's credited to the MC & the "Handsome, Ruthless and Stupid Band." Robert C. told me that came from Dorothy Parker, who said that's what her ideal man should be.
	11:55am Michael Shelley: ↳ Mr. Fine Wine @11:55 I knew there'd be a connection
	11:56am Mr. Fine Wine: Albert King original on King! Never heard the Rationals' version. Cool.
	11:56am phat in lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:55 Amazing
	11:56am andy fuchs: @dennis diken: Sadly, I only got to know Vinnie late in life and dimensia was in full force. He had moments of coherence, but most of the time he wasn't too communicative. I've tried to speak with people who worked with him for the Boography Doug Tulloch and I are trying to put together, but many people have passed (Angelo Badalamente and Bucky Pizzarelli for example) and the people who are still alive (Frankie Valli and Tommy James) aren't interested. I plan to speak with John Tropea, Trade Martin, Charlie Caellelo and a few others, but it's tough as people are busy, ill or "unavailable". Vinnie didn't want a bio and couldn't have helped if he did...
	11:56am Handy Haversack: OK, we are vacuumed, and the egg thing is out of the oven. Saturday progressing. I cranked the show up over the vacuum!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "(Had You Told It Like It Was It Wouldn't Be Like ... Always seeing & hearing about TheRationals without actually hearing them - so appreciated.
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:56 a Voltron Production!
	11:58am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Cynical Girl" by "Marshall Crenshaw" I had never heard this before. So good! Though it also made me want to hear "Eurotrash Girl." But I kind of always want to hear "Eurotrash Girl."
	11:58am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:57 He was NOT amused.
	11:58am Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:53 the 9-Volt years! where dreams begin. I have a pal on the Ithaca music scene who went back to his four-track for late-night songwriting, with a baby sleeping upstairs. Take inspirato where you can
	11:59am Dennis Diken: ↳ andy fuchs @11:56 I take it you've read Charlie Callelo's book? loved it!! it offers probably the most 4 Seasons lore we're likely to see.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:58 this interview (i think in Musician Mag?) was very detailed, where marshall was saying he used tin foil to emulate a snare drum, etc. blew me mind.
	12:00pm Morphe’: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:58 Johnny Lyndon did not win the Irish Euro Vison spot(theoretically voted on by the peoples)..
	12:01pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:40 ... pretty wonderful, RR63. I was thinking of being lucky as well, in being able to appreciate BB as a bridge between musical eras and a monument unto himself
	12:02pm Morphe’: ↳ Morphe’ @12:00 the song was emotional but dull but his sillly outfits were truly silly and most Irish probably see him as a blowback Irish looking to gain in a smaller mkt
	12:02pm Mr. Fine Wine: There were plenty of tix available for Fats's two-shows-a-night weeklong stand at the Ritz circa 1988. Empty house the night I went.
	12:02pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:00 oh, I'll have to get my hands on that. 'Musician' interviews used to be the best. That's some Tape Op-level geekery there
	12:02pm clarke: Frank?? still in Queens??
	12:03pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "I'm Gonna Cross That River" by "Fats Domino" Made a pilgrimage to Fats' house last year❤️
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:02 oh, man, i wish i had hung onto that issue!! it also was super-informative about some great singles that crenshaw loved.
	12:04pm Morphe’: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @12:03 Where is Fats’ house
	12:04pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:00 i bought a tascam 4-track for $10 several years ago but never got the broken pause button repaired. kind of essential
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Morphe’ @12:00 Well, spend enough years being an asshole, and it's hard to win a popularity contest, I'd imagine. I've never won one either! Imagine!
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Morphe’ @12:04 right by DRR's house!!
	12:04pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Mr. Fine Wine @12:02 wasn't that a great show, Mr FW? I went one night and snuck backstage to meet the great man. what a thrill!
	12:05pm wenzo: @ Mr. Fine Wine… that’s sad
	12:05pm drr: ↳ Morphe’ @12:04 In my neighborhood! Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans. I drove past it yesterday. It's mostly yellow with black or brown trim and has a big "FD" on it. Hard to miss.
	12:05pm Dano59: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:58 ..you never heard Cynical Girl before? wow
	12:06pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Morphe’ @12:04 You can't miss it. F D and musical notes on the iron fence
	12:06pm Mr. Fine Wine: Was great. Was sad.
	12:07pm clarke: Hubig!! wassssuuuup??
	12:07pm Morphe’: Clarke … help a brother out here. Oui est le chateau de Fats????
	12:07pm Hughie Considine: I would read a comprehensive history of siblings in pop music, not just the obvious ones but people like the Crenshaws and the Zanes bros and the two (count 'em) two sets of Butler brothers in rock...
	12:07pm drr: ↳ Morphe’ @12:04 The street it's on, Caffin Avenue, is now officially named Fats Domino Avenue. My neighbor Mabel who went to high school with him just refers to him as Antoine.
	12:08pm McGroovey: ↳ andy fuchs @11:56 Is that the Doug Tulloch who wrote the Danelectro book? I assume so. Great book.
	12:08pm Stu from Atl: Petrucio in Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew is from Mantua
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Morphe’ @12:07 7th Ward near dave's place!!
	12:09pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "The Usual Thing" by "Marshall Crenshaw" Gee this record sounds so fresh and wonderful after years of not hearing some of these songs
	12:09pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:08 NINTH ward, clarke!
	12:09pm wenzo: @Mr. FW do you remember if you caught the early show or the late show?
	12:10pm Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:07 Vicki & Debi Peterson; Tegan and Sara ... Cowsills; Ray & Dave D.; and hopefully not too many Beach Boys (which has been done)
	12:10pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:07 Charlie and Inez Foxx, Richard and Karen...
	12:10pm Dano59: Jack & Meg White ...
	12:11pm Hubig Pie: Lower nine I don't mind dyin'
	12:11pm Listener Baby: ↳ PatrickMC @12:09 Agree! Needs a strong cover. Sturgill perhaps? perhaps?
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:09 ah lowah nine!!
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: She and He, kids.
	12:11pm Hughie Considine: It's a ripe topic for exploration!
	12:11pm Mr. Fine Wine: ↳ wenzo @12:09 Thinking it was an early Tuesday show, but that might not be right.
	12:11pm PatrickMC: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:07 How bout 3 brother bands? Televisionaries
	12:12pm drr: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:11 'Im an' 'Er.
	12:12pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:58 Handy has to go buy all of Marshall's records and sit down and listen to them. There will be no stinkers in the pile.
	12:12pm Squints: ↳ McGroovey @12:12 What he said.
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: ↳ PatrickMC @12:11 That would be a whole section of the book!
	12:13pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:11 Red Hot (German band?) do an even more rockabilly version of 'Usual Thing'
	12:13pm SamTheRam: Gentile Giant had three brothers
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:12 Honestly, I thrive on homework. I really peaked in high school.
	12:13pm Mr. Fine Wine: Four brothers in two pairs: Chuck and Chick, Hank and Claude Carbo.
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Mr. Fine Wine @12:13 Woah!
	12:13pm pp: ↳ DG @11:55 Better Midler did a cover and routinely sing this at her shows
	12:14pm Mr. Fine Wine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:13 But did you peek? At fellow students' exams?
	12:14pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:07 The 5 Stairsteps! (Not to mention the Jackson family band...)
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: Of course, brothers who hated each other would be one of the book's central fixations.
	12:14pm Listener Baby: ↳ Dano59 @12:13 News we can use!
	12:14pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:03 @clarke July 1982 issue of Musician, Willie Nelson on the cover? It's for sale on Ebay.
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:02 Still here. Digging the tunes and have a discussion with my other half regarding our studio set-up.
	12:15pm Squints: Frickin' Turntable 1.
	12:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Mr. Fine Wine @12:14 Moi?! Never! I would sometimes just drop my papers off in a friend's car and then skip school and take illicit substances. Ah, youth.
	12:15pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:14 Yes, each and every Stairstep!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:14 i don't remember willie being on the front, but hey..
	12:16pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:14 here ya go: further study after the show poprockrecord.com...
	12:16pm PatrickMC: ↳ drr @12:14 Don't forget the 5 Osmonds, 4 Nevilles, and 3 Gibbs (+ Andy)
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:14 ah, cool!! MovieTime??
	12:17pm Mr. Fine Wine: Bobby, Curtis, Cecil, Friendly, Harry
	12:17pm phat in Lincoln: Ooh, here it is.
	12:17pm Dano59: ↳ PatrickMC @12:11 .... aaaaaand the Haden Triplets
	12:18pm Ross T.: Fogertys
	12:18pm Dano59: (three sister bands)
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Carter administration...
	12:18pm Dano59: ↳ Ross T. @12:18 Cowboy Junkies
	12:19pm clarke: i'll just put this out there, while i absolutely love the early crenshaw records represented, here, today - i would say that Downtown & Mary Jean are both really, really GREAT!!!
	12:19pm DjLorraine: Marshall Crenshaw interview!
	12:21pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:19 agreed. absolutely -- Good Evening too, tho' not MC's favorite
	12:21pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:19 Yup. And that speaks directly to McGroovey's 12:12 comment. Not a single bad record ever. I'm partial to Good Morning and Life's Too Short, also.
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: National Guitar Day ...in a futile attempt to limit us to one day...
	12:22pm Joe B: ↳ HungryFreak @11:06 that was 2011 - Marshall playing the 1st album at City Winery
	12:22pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:21 that's like only having one guitar!
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:16 This week was Opening Night, Also forgot to mention that we watched "10" last week.
	12:22pm Squints: ↳ Dano59 @12:21 Good Morning does seem like "he better have it a hit here." But I love all the songs.
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ PatrickMC @12:11 K8 says "Nelson." And the Andrews Sisters.
	12:22pm PatrickMC: ↳ clarke @12:19 Agree completely. Mary Jean is one of the best albums of entire 80s.
	12:22pm Squints: ↳ Dano59 @12:22 THAT's crazy talk.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:22 ha ha, wow! i wouldn't think 10 stands up too well. i didn't care for it that much when it came out, ha ha.
	12:23pm Dano59: ↳ Squints @12:22 more of a demoralized time, he's said, a contractual obligation and lots of covers. But great!! covers
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:23 It was ok. Best part for me was seeing all the classic adult film stars during the "party" scene.
	12:25pm clarke: hah!! dudley was hilarious with peter = but on his own?? nah.
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:25 I would like to revisit Arthur again though. I'm a big fan of The Critic and Arthur is referenced quite often on that show.
	12:25pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:25 the physical comedy in "10". was hilarious
	12:26pm clarke: citing from memory, some of the 45's that Marshall mentioned in that article: Edwin Starr = Agent Double-O-Soul, Denise Lasalle - Trapped By A Thing Called Love...
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:25 "It stinks! It stinks! It stinks!" "Yes, Mr. Sherman, everything stinks ..."
	12:27pm Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:27 "Penguins can't fly." That still dissolves my brother and me into giggles.
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:25 hmm.. i don't remember liking it. ha ha ha.
	12:29pm Hubig Pie: I think TCM screened Arthur right after 10 last week. A Dudley Moore retrospective ? They also screened Jon Voight movies . Deliverance still packs a punch. Midnight Cowboy not so much.
	12:29pm PatrickMC: Speaking of Robert Gordon, Marshall's performance was the high point of the RG Memorial show at Bowery Electric a few weeks ago
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:29 Yes, they did. But I had work in the morning, so I didn't bother starting it.
	12:31pm clarke: calbi rules!
	12:32pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:31 Indeed! Love his cuts. Never heard a bum one.
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Marshall Crenshaw" LPs used to skip on my cheap Stereo as a kid ...I couldn't appreciate some Sabbath til the Digital era practically !
	12:33pm DG: ↳ SamTheRam @12:13 Hmmm, funny that a band of guys named Shulman wound be in a "gentile" band. (wink/laugh emoji here, if I knew how to do that here)
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Is the Intervention Records reissue of "Field Day" a result of Marshall getting his copyright back, or did IR license from Warners?
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Ah, I guess not....
	12:35pm clarke: doesn't sound like it.
	12:36pm Joe B: we had it all! key largo
	12:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: I had that Vangelis 7 inch. Lol.
	12:36pm Frank In Queens: I just looked and the IR pressing is OOP.
	12:36pm Mr. Fine Wine: David Gorman: like Marshall, a Detroiter.
	12:36pm SeanG: just like Bogey and Bacall!
	12:37pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Joe B @12:36 Just like Bogie & Bacall...
	12:37pm drr: Ah yes, Bertie Haggis, the Scottish Songbird...
	12:37pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ SeanG @12:36 Beat me to it! :)
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: "Duty as a dog owner to set your dog up for success." [Looks at napping Bagpipe. Brushes lint off medals.]
	12:39pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Marshall Crenshaw" Michael, smart interesting questions. You're the best interviewer on FMU.
	12:39pm clarke: Bagpipe puts head up for a sec - then back down.
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:39 Ha, fly on the wall!
	12:40pm clarke: those cameras are really paying off!
	12:40pm Dano59: hey, "Hollywood Rock" is a book! (edited)
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: ↳ PatrickMC @12:39 That's very kind of you to say
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ PatrickMC @12:39 total hard agree!
	12:42pm Dano59: I boought one of those "Field Day" LPs with another record stamped on side 2. Guess the reissue is timely
	12:42pm Jessie: I love that Marshall is comfortable in his own skin. No pretense there. Excellent work Michael Shelley.
	12:43pm Ross T.: Love Marshall Crenshaw's run of albums in the 80s into the 90s. All #1s.
	12:43pm phat in Lincoln: Totally checking out those books.
	12:43pm Dano59: Life's Too Short is an excellent guitar-skills showcase in his catalog
	12:44pm nycmusicnerd: Saw MC with the Smithereens last week at Sony Hall. It was a good show!
	12:45pm clarke: that would be elvis costello written, right?
	12:45pm listener phat in lincoln: I miss the recording studio. I need to get back.
	12:46pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:45 funny how he calls it a dave edmunds song - he's not wrong, if that's the style he played it in
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in lincoln @12:45 me, too! but it hasn't slowed me down, much!
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: Great interview!
	12:47pm Squints: ↳ Dano59 @12:46 EC mighta writ it. But DE owns it.
	12:47pm Joe B: thanks Michael and Marshall!
	12:47pm nycmusicnerd: Great interview Michael!
	12:47pm Dano59: ↳ Squints @12:47 that's. what I'm sayin
	12:47pm DjLorraine: ↳ clarke @12:45 Correct
	12:47pm clarke: i give this interview a huge A to B-minus (nudge nudge)!! FANtastic!!
	12:47pm Mr. Fine Wine: Marshall's speaking voice reminds of other dudes I grew up with in Detroit.
	12:47pm LesleyK: Enjoyed the interview...thank you!
	12:47pm Richard: Wonderful interview. Great perspective.
	12:48pm Joe B: ↳ Squints @12:47 exactly!
	12:48pm joe mulligan: nice interview, Marshall's a stand up guy
	12:48pm Mr. Fine Wine: That was cool! Thanks, Michael!
	12:48pm dreamyandseedy: excellent interview!
	12:48pm Corey: Loved that. Thanks for the great interview, Michael!
	12:48pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! And MC!
	12:48pm phat in lincoln: ↳ Song: "Someday Someway" by "Marshall Crenshaw" To this day that guitar intro makes me smile and maybe gasp a little. Good God what a song.
	12:48pm DG: Speaking as a huge Costello fan, yes, Edmunds' version is way better. Costello's (which is on various b-sides/rarities collections) sounds like a demo, don't think he even sings the whole thing.
	12:48pm Joe B: Loved this LP when it came out, saw Marshall opening for the Stray Cats at the Capitol in Passaic late in '82, fantastic show!
	12:48pm Baja Joe: Very grounded person is Mr. Crenshaw. Thanks.
	12:48pm phat in lincoln: Great interview Michael. Thank you.
	12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: No. 1 interview. That album never gets old.
	12:49pm dreamyandseedy: love that he confessed he had to work really really hard to play guitar
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Someday Someway" by "Marshall Crenshaw" Thing is ...this track really is like something we might have had if BuddyHolly could've done more.
	12:49pm Dano59: ↳ DG @12:48 it's on Get Happy!! but much slower; and Linda Ronstadt covered it back then too
	12:50pm clarke: "the future's all yers ya lousy bicycle!!!"
	12:50pm Joe B: ↳ Dano59 @12:49 Linda was covering Dave's version though
	12:50pm PatrickMC: ↳ Dano59 @12:49 No, first out in US on Taking Liberties compilation
	12:50pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "South American Getaway" by "Burt Bacharach" Thank you Michael. I'm in musical paradise right now. RIP Burt
	12:50pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:49 I've tried playing it but never got it right; had much better success with 'Cynical Girl'
	12:51pm Ross T.: Mary Jean and 9 Others probably my favorite LP of his which is saying a ton. Wikipedia shows it as not charting. Goodbye cruel world.
	12:51pm cosmic matrix: hah! i thought it was a self-titled track for sec
	12:51pm phat in lincoln: ↳ Ross T. @12:51 That never charted? Nuts.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Ross T. @12:51 yeah - that's a mystery!
	12:52pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "South American Getaway" by "Burt Bacharach" This song is pure heaven, and I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. B about five years ago. He was generous of spirit and totally plugged in, and sent me three tickets for his show at the Carolina Theater. This never happened with any other person I interviewed. A mensch.
	12:52pm DG: ↳ Dano59 @12:49 It may be a bonus cut on GH, but it wasn't on there originally. It was a b-side & was first (at least in the U.S.) on that "Taking Liberties" collection. Couldn't figure out why Costello didn't emphasize the melody like Edmunds did.
	12:52pm clarke: then again, i don't pay ANY attention to f'n charts!
	12:52pm KWilde: I saw MC play one of those free lunchtime shows at the Seaport several years ago. Solo acoustic casual - handful of people in the audience - great performance
	12:52pm Squints: ↳ Dano59 @12:50 Which is why myself and fellow late-starting hacks are thinking of calling ourselves Close Enough.
	12:52pm PJ: ↳ clarke @12:51 Marshall lost a lot of momentum after Field Day
	12:53pm Ross T.: According to Wikipedia. First two made it to 50ish, Downtown in 100s then nada.
	12:53pm gf2002: This is among my favorite scenes in any movie, any era, where the music fits the scenes perfectly. I love how Redford and Ross broke character, blew the take in the bank vault, and they left it in the final cut.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:52 do eet!!
	12:54pm PatrickMC: ↳ Ross T. @12:51 You are correct. And Christgau said it "drags" which proves his lack of ears
	12:54pm Ross T.: Of course all #1s in our houses.
	12:54pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:52 Just make sure to feel somethin' in B flat, m....
	12:54pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Someday Someway" by "Marshall Crenshaw" this song makes me feel young and light
	12:54pm egould: Dubba dubba daaa!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ PJ @12:52 I really dug the rest of his '80s output but lost touch in the '90s.
	12:55pm Michael Shelley: 2001 I got to open a bunch of shows for Marshall Crenshaw in Japan - we were often the only two English speakers - so we talked a LOT - great musician - super interesting guy! www.michaelshelley.net...
	12:55pm Ross T.: I remember the reaction to Field Day as overproduced. Whenever You're on My Mind is as good as anything ever recorded.
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:54 i don't read charts either, ha ha.
	12:56pm phat in lincoln: ↳ Song: "South American Getaway" by "Burt Bacharach" Had to check to see if this was The Swingle Singers on the record. It is not, apparently.
	12:56pm Ross T.: Appreciate you bringing him to us Michael!
	12:56pm Dano59: ↳ DG @12:52 yr right. I. have. so many reissues w/extras (and British versions) and Get happy!! is a favorite. the first 3 releases in 1980 were: I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down, 1980 (single B-side) Taking Liberties, 1980 Ten Bloody Marys & Ten How's Your Fathers, 1980 (UK)
	12:56pm Dennis Diken: I once read an interview with Hal Blaine where he said the one time he got hung up in the studio was on a Burt Bacharach session, something on the chart was a real challenge!
	12:56pm PJ: ↳ Ross T. @12:55 I actually like the production on Field Day, and am glad he tried somethning different.

If you had any of these three, you win our grand prize. And now, the answers to: What do The Michael Shelley Show and a Chinese Spy Balloon have in common. They both soar high above the competition. They are both huge, and extremely sophisticated. They are both move slowly, but are incredibly light on their feet. Honorable mentions: They are both enemies of the state. (Lottie) They are both big in Montana (Myron)

	11:15am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:14 dude - i keep forgetting tuesday evenings to turn the goddam 'radio' on - we'll git there!!
	11:15am Pedro in Arlington: I'm so old I remember when Marshall Crenshaw had hi own Saturday radio show in the NY metro area. Somewhat inferior station.
	11:16am LesleyK: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:14 Thank you! Glad you liked it!
	11:16am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:14 Impulse. Lol. I was listening to Pretenders, "Lovers of Today" late last night and was reminded how much I love that sound. It's that or a Leslie...

	11:16am Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:13 'ello clarke!

	11:17am clarke: ay mate!!
	11:17am pp: @Pedro Marshall had a WFUV show as of a few years ago. did it go away during the pandemic?
	11:17am MrDeb: Not to be confused with a cinnamon girl
	11:17am Squints: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:15 Well, maybe not for that few hours. 8^)
	11:17am LesleyK: I picked up this Marshall Crenshaw album on vinyl in Kingston NY just last year. Came across it at a cool shop up there
	11:17am Hughie Considine: I'm so old I saw Marshall Crenshaw play at the Chance in Poughkeepsie, playing all the hits from his debut LP.
	11:17am Listener Baby: The man had great ideas. No doubt
	11:17am Squints: ↳ Song: "Cynical Girl" by "Marshall Crenshaw" Another one I don't bother favoriting because DUH.
	11:17am jon: will love discussing the great Richard Gotteher...a true legend.....
	11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:12 Oo. Like Hendrix & RobinTrower. Way kewl. Always wanted to...
	11:18am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:16 hey, i have this mini=pedal that does a REALLY good job at the leslie thang - very cheap. let me find it for the type...
	11:18am Cooh John: Thought it was Cinnamon Girl for a moment.💆
	11:18am Ross T.: Ahhhhh, this was #1 for like 6 weeks right?
	11:18am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:18 Sweet
	11:19am pp: Ron Sexsmith should be fun. On Twitter he is a pun-master. RS
	11:19am Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Cynical Girl" by "Marshall Crenshaw" Looking forward to the Marshall Crenshaw interview! Played the hell out of this LP as soon as I got it back in the day. Saw him around that time at the Asbury Park Convention Hall opening for Rockpile. So good!
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Travelin'" by "David Marks and The Marksmen" Pretty Woman Goes Surfing - what a kewl sound.
	11:20am phat in lincoln: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:18 I'm surprised I don't have one already
	11:21am Dennis Diken: ↳ LesleyK @11:17 hi LesleyK! was that Rocket Number Nine in Kingston? the great Doug Wygal's shop? cool store, to be sure!
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:20 ...or Smithereens' 'Time & Time Again' which is fun for Gittar...
	11:21am Dennis Diken: David Marks totally rules!
	11:21am clarke: hughie = tough season for tarheels. (i should talk, it is the first time EVER lsu has been at the bottom of the SEC!!).
	11:22am Mr. Fine Wine: Saw MC at Toad's in New Haven circa '83 and a girl in the crowd preshow thought I (skinny, modestly new wavey haircut, round glasses) was him!
	11:22am LesleyK: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:21 Hi Dennis! Yes, that was the shop!! I picked up a bunch of cool records the day I was there.
	11:22am Pedro in Arlington: Time for Billy Joel to champion Marshall Crenshaw for that thing in Cleveland. It'd be like George Santos touting the legacy of Jimmy Carter. Zevon is his Dag Hammarskjöld.
	11:22am clarke: marks could BARELY play ANY guitar when the beach boys forced him onstage - he certainly made up for that!!
	11:23am phat in lincoln: ↳ Mike Sin @11:19 Good lord, what a lineup.
	11:23am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:21 Happily I am not emotionally involved with the local hoops scene! One less thing to stress about.
	11:24am Dennis Diken: ↳ LesleyK @11:22 did you meet Doug when you were at the shop? a true champ, I say!
	11:24am clarke: yah got that rite!
	11:24am Dennis Diken: ↳ clarke @11:22 when was that, clarke?
	11:24am paul: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:22 Go to vote.rockhall.com and vote for Warren. You can vote once a day.
	11:24am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:22 David Marks and Carl Wilson took guitar lessons together at a local shop using borrowed Rickenbacker student models, then I think they both took lessons from John Maus later of the Walker Bros. Marks could play...Murry Wilson couldn't stand him though and eventually canned him.
	11:25am Creature Boy: Penny was marries to Sue Thompson of "Paper Tiger" 🎶 fame
	11:25am Creature Boy: Married
	11:25am phat in lincoln: That's a great name for this subgenre.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:24 supposedly david marks could barely play back when the beach boys started - he just looked cool and was their friend.
	11:26am paul: Sounds like the Coasters.
	11:27am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:25 hey phat - the name of the mini-pedal is Soul Shiver by Moder. it is really good - esp for the $.
	11:28am HungryFreak: ↳ paul @11:24 As long as Chuck D. and Dolly are in there. That's the important thing.
	11:28am wenzo: Aren’t they all big corporate teams?
	11:28am pottybear: Other team hint Barbecue
	11:28am LesleyK: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:24 Oh I'm not sure, I may have...I didn't ask his name. Next time!
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard on a Beatles-themed podcast about how MC was a 'John' in Beatlemania - but didn't feel like doing the impersonation / theater aspect of it as well as the music. All of which is kewl.
	11:28am paul: The Kelce brothers will play against each other.
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: Nutshell: Philly is awful and must be destroyed.
	11:28am Hughie Considine: As Howard DeVoto said in "Philadelphia," Maybe it's right to be nervous now" (if you're a Philadelphia fan?)
	11:29am Cooh John: First time in a while both teams have the best record.
	11:29am Jessie: There will be riots in Philly regardless of the outcome of the game.
	11:29am paul: Philly is a slight favorite.
	11:29am Ross T.: In elementary school back in the day looking at the pics on the first few Beach Boy albums it was David Marks we wanted to emulate with the flip blond bangs. More than Dennis even. It was a true mystery that he disappeared and was replaced on the album covers by a middle aged man.
	11:29am drr: First Super Bowl with two black quarterbacks. Both Patrick Mahomes 9Kansas City) and Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia) are excellent players, Mahomes may urn out to be the best qb ever in the league. Two excellent teams, very well matched.
	11:29am Moammar: Looking forward to my 27th straight year of not watching the game. Great time for a grocery run.
	11:29am gf2002: Two dangerous quarterbacks, two solid offenses, Philly's defense is better than KC. Philly for the win.
	11:30am Ballpark Frank: Yes, that was a great podcast - interesting history for that tune!
	11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:27 I'll check it out! Thanks.
	11:30am Handy Haversack: Hey now, Michael and all. Cooking, cleaning, really failing to have a weekend over here. Glad to be hearing you. Apologies in advance for the vacuuming.
	11:30am Ciggy: Close game Exciting game - NO! EAGLES FLY
	11:30am Hughie Considine: Ha. This is great.
	11:30am HungryFreak: I bought shares of Cheez-Wiz inc. last week. Just going for the short term bump, then I'm back into bonds.
	11:30am jpuva: The story of this game is that the two teams are incredibly evenly matched (same W/L record, same number of points scored, ...). It is all gonna come down to Mahomes' injured ankle
	11:30am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:24 this is true, later! marks was supposedly nabbing all the chicks, and murry didn't like that. but, he says he could barely do basic chords when they first started. carl was more advanced.
	11:31am Gary: It’s a toss up. Philly is real strong. KC QB is a magician if his ankle holds up.
	11:31am Dennis Diken: ↳ gf2002 @11:24 that's my understanding too, gf2002. some say that the Beach Boys became a rock'n'roll band when David joined. prior to that they were mostly a folky/doo wop/4 Freshmen-type outfit. there's alot of various lore out there. DM sez he wanted out of the group, citing lots of bickering, etc. he's been known to speak well of Murry, interestingly.
	11:31am HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 Good morning Handy, K8, and associated beasts!
	11:32am Handy Haversack: I think it'll be exciting. The best QB, coach, and offense in football I(and maybe the best QB and coach of all time) vs. the best defense, a young exciting QB, and a team that will try anything? Should be one of the better Super Bowls. One hopes!
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:31 All really interesting.
	11:32am Corey: Mahomes is really fun to watch. Pretty much guaranteed to make a few throws that blow your mind. I might cheer for the Chiefs, but the tomahawk chopping from their fans in the stands is hard to stomach.
	11:32am Dennis Diken: David has said that he's the sole guitarist on "Your Summer Dream" and he plays that great lick at the end of the bridge on "Our Car Club."
	11:33am HyperDose: Hey Dennis! Looked up that Maltshop memories cruise. They get a lot of great acts!
	11:33am LesleyK: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:24 He did mention that Marshall had been in the shop before!
	11:33am Ciggy: Plus Rhianna at Halftime!
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 Bagpipe sez cut it out!!
	11:33am jacky: dressed up as rambo...playing with a Rubik's cube...and my Atari 2600...listening to Marshall Crenshaw's debut on my walkman....
	11:33am Dennis Diken: ↳ LesleyK @11:33 John Sebastian, t' boot!
	11:34am LesleyK: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:33 Nice!
	11:34am Pedro in Arlington: The late Doug Fieger's brother, Jeffrey, is still lawyering and running TV ads in Detroit. He was Dr. Kevorkian's counsel.
	11:34am DG: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:15 Yes, that radio show (on a station that shares 3 LETTERS with WFMU) was on Sat. nights (or Sun.) for awhile. Played a real range of stuff---I tuned in once, heard what I thought was some electronic/noise band & it turned out to be an excerpt from Metal Machine Music. I think Marshall stopped doing it so he could work on his book or doc. (on Tom Wilson, hopefully he'll talk about that).
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:32 oh yeah - he learned FAST!!
	11:35am gf2002: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:31 David Marks and Carl's musical tastes were much closer than Al Jardine's, David and Carl were into Rock and roll, Chuck Berry, Dick Dale, etc and Jardine was a stone-cold folk musician obsessed with the Kingston Trio. The fact Al plays stand-up bass on their very first recordings says it all about the influences each rhythm guitarist brought to the group. David's dad Elmer was their de facto tour manager in those early days, driving them to their gigs and schlepping gear.
	11:35am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Jessie @11:29 The cops are probably greasing all the street poles even as we speak.
	11:36am Dennis Diken: ↳ HyperDose @11:33 yeah, I played Malt Shop Memories Cruise with Ronnie Spector a few years ago - got to hang with Geator (RIP), Bobby Rydell (RIP) and Chris Montez!
	11:36am Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @11:35 Carl & David had more of a "team" rhythm, approach
	11:37am gf2002: ↳ Song: "I Say A Little Prayer (backing track)" by "Burt B... When I first got this collection of Bacharach sessions through friends, including this track in multiple mixes/takes, I nearly cried. So perfect. Still don't know where it came from, but bless whoever leaked it way back when.
	11:37am HungryFreak: ↳ DG @11:34 I caught his show one night while driving and didn't know what it was. A very crazy eclectic mix that night. Turned out the common factor to it all was Tom Wilson.
	11:37am dreamyandseedy: hello all! just now starting to listen to this show every weekend. i always learn so many new things! even about football
	11:37am drr: The guitar part on this Bacharach is interesting.
	11:38am Ciggy: Posted once before Saw Marshall Crenshaw at The Bottom Line. Me and the Boys asked Meg Griffin & her WNEW-FM crew to dance in the aisles (which are tight). Respectfully, she declined
	11:38am PatrickMC: Hal David is underappreciated
	11:38am andy fuchs: Vinnie Bell "chicking" away....
	11:39am drr: ↳ PatrickMC @11:38 Very.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ Ciggy @11:38 Man, I remember WNEW running ads for Marshall at The Bottom Line all the time! Pity I was a bit too young to attend.
	11:39am Dennis Diken: ↳ gf2002 @11:35 and for my money, David's rhythm playing is so integral to the appeal and integrity of the early Beach Boys records! ie: "Surfin' USA" - it's so prominent there ("treble up, boys!")
	11:39am drr: ↳ andy fuchs @11:38 thanks, I wondered!
	11:39am gf2002: ↳ andy fuchs @11:38 Vinnie's calling card!
	11:39am Greg from ZONE 5: I know this isn't exactly a hot take on the FMU comments boards, but I never got Ri Ri. She has so many literal #1 hits, but they all sound so flat. That said I do often find myself saying "Bitch better have my money" when I'm at the ATM.
	11:39am andy fuchs: And yes, I saw charts at Vinnies house. "Vinnie chick"...seriously. Hash marks, no notes, just notating where to "chick"...
	11:39am HungryFreak: Is the Aretha Franklin version of "...Prayer" the greatest background vocal arrangement in all of pop?
	11:39am phat in lincoln: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:39 Gonna be at yr Knuckleheads show in KC in March.
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I Say A Little Prayer (backing track)" by "Burt B... My 2Cent tribute to BB : www.facebook.com...
	11:40am Mr. Fine Wine: Some Roger Millerishness to Sonny's vocal here
	11:40am Dennis Diken: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:39 alright! please say hello at the show!
	11:41am andy fuchs: Vinnie was particularly prominent on Frankie Valli's solo and Four Seasons stuff. Do you know the way to San Jose, chicka chick :). Love and miss you Vinnie
	11:41am drr: ↳ PatrickMC @11:38 "Alfie" is a great melody but that lyric, that barely even rhymes, if it does, puts it over the top. I'm a big fan of Dee Dee Warwick's version. (She's Dionne's sister.)
	11:41am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:39 how many hours from lincoln to KS??
	11:41am DG: Think I first heard Marshall on that station (NEW), at least on Vin Scelsa's show. I'd just moved to NYC (from the burbs) when his 1st came out & it was like the soundtrack of that summer....plus his brother (& drummer) also lived in our the building (along with Johnny Ramone, but that's another story). Saw MC at My Father's Place, & later at a party for a now-defunct rock magazine at the Ritz (as it was called then). Probably saw him in the last days of CBGBs when a lot of performers returned to do shows....I think he did an ABBA tune then.
	11:42am gf2002: I think Bacharach was the type of arranger who wrote nearly everything for the musicians. Like Thom Bell with the Philly Soul sessions in the 70's. I'm sure even Vinnie Bell's "chick chicks" were scored out because they're so wildly off the beat sometimes but they fit the arrangement perfectly. Like Walk On By
	11:42am PatrickMC: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:39 Saw Marshall tear it up at Bottom Line around the time of Good Evening, with Kenny Aranoff doing the big drum thing. Rocking gig. TMBG opened!
	11:43am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:41 About 3. It's an easy drive. Although KC driving is horrible.
	11:43am Morphe’: There was a book called “My Dog Is Deaf and I Am Blind”
	11:43am gf2002: ↳ andy fuchs @11:39 That is great info! Wow. I'm surprised he kept the charts! Love Vinnie Bell.
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:39 Just saw a two-hour 'cut' on YTs of the Macca-Rubin thing. Paul's anecdote about pushing the EMI engineers to put more Treble on Nowhere Man's Strats - & then more & more...
	11:43am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:41 Will do!
	11:43am phat in lincoln: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:40 Will do!
	11:44am Michael Shelley: ↳ PatrickMC @11:42 Was there - Kenny played SO HARD made me uncomfortable at first, but he really drove the bus!
	11:44am clarke: ↳ phat in lincoln @11:43 oh, that's not a bad drive - i always think it is further!! should be fun!
	11:45am Dennis Diken: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:43 see? Murry knew!
	11:45am phat in lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:44 I don't go there often enough. It's a great town and the weather should be great.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:44 for my $ robert crenshaw kicks aronoff's ass!!
	11:45am Baja Joe: Good morning Michael and all
	11:45am gf2002: There would be no electric sitar without Vinnie Bell! And Bacharach's classics wouldn't have that crazy sonic hook Vinnie's "chicks" provided.
	11:46am 🙉: Well this is one song that could certainly be read/heard the wrong way. Yikes.
	11:49am gf2002: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:43 I saw that too! Very enjoyable. Nowhere Man is the closest the Beatles got to trying to copy an LA studio pop session. Brian Wilson, Byrds, etc. Then George did it outright on "If I Needed Someone". Nowhere Man is pure LA 1965 pop, and that treble-heavy Fender guitar was one of the trademarks. Thanks in part to Carl and David Marks back in '62-'63!
	11:49am andy fuchs: @gf2002, not only ton's of charts, but many he corrected. Arrangers (Charlie Caello and a few others) specifically wrote for Vinnie "water sound", Sitar, and chicks were annotated, A few charts I saw had notes from Vinnie where a sharp or flat was incorrect...lol. Tons of charts that I sadly couldn't find a practical means to rehome.
	11:49am clarke: for contrast, ya'll look up Taste The Biscuit on youtube (yer welcome!!!)!!
	11:50am PatrickMC: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:44 Yes! I recall the drum kit postioned front right, and I was sitting on that side, so it was pretty dominating at times but a great show.
	11:50am sonnyspop: ↳ PatrickMC @11:42 That's the show where I swore Kenny Aronoff did Pete Townshend's windmill, except on drums.
	11:51am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Taste The Soup" by "Buck Loves Kim Shattuck" went down the Lisa rabbithole some months ago - that "50/50 2020: A Decade of Doing it for Love" comp is full of wonderful surprises. Including Poke Your Eye Out!
	11:51am Dennis Diken: ↳ andy fuchs @11:49 hi andy! did Vinnie talk much about drummers Buddy Saltzman, Gary Chester and Herb Lovelle?
	11:52am Morphe’: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 Met a guy =1979 who told me he played an electronic cello and I told him I did not believe such a thing existed and he competed me to a show and it was amazing
	11:52am jpuva: I always wonder if "My Favorite Waste of Time" would have been a bigger hit if he didn't opt for the lo-fi, 4-track cassette version. This is the most number one of all the number one songs!
	11:52am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Your My Favorite Waste Of Time" by "Marshall Cren... This is probably my favorite MC song. It's crazy that it was originally just a demo version on a single b-side.
	11:52am gf2002: ↳ andy fuchs @11:49 @Andy: Wow, my mind is blown! Isn't that Vinnie's "water sound" on the Airport soundtrack? Did all those charts survive? They could find a home at a music school library archive or similar outlet. I'd love to see anything like that published, or scan them and put them online. I hope they still exist somewhere
	11:53am HyperDose: ↳ clarke @11:49 That's an instant classic!
	11:53am Squints: ↳ Song: "Your My Favorite Waste Of Time" by "Marshall Cren... The langorous pace here never really did it for me. I like the harder Merseyesque approach on his Mountain Stage around 1990 with Mitch Easter. But one of my Number One-est songs.
	11:53am Morphe’: ↳ Morphe’ @11:52 A METALIC electronic cello
	11:53am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Your My Favorite Waste Of Time" by "Marshall Cren... greatest B-side here. I have never seen Marshall with a band, so I guess I only have half of the story
	11:53am Gary: Marshall Crenshaw’s show on FUV was wonderful. Especially his themes; melotrons, DanElectros, etc.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ McGroovey @11:52 an interview i read with crenshaw got me interested in getting a 4-track - starting the ball rolling fer sure.
	11:54am Dano59: ↳ Squints @11:53 i love how the recording falls apart at the end; and I've been tracking it ever since Freedy Johnston recognized its greatness
	11:55am Mr. Fine Wine: Somehow my uncle ended up with the publishing to many of the Rationals' original songs, through their mutual relationship with Ollie McLaughlin.
	11:55am DG: I have this ("Favorite Waste...") as a b-side. It's credited to the MC & the "Handsome, Ruthless and Stupid Band." Robert C. told me that came from Dorothy Parker, who said that's what her ideal man should be.
	11:55am Michael Shelley: ↳ Mr. Fine Wine @11:55 I knew there'd be a connection
	11:56am Mr. Fine Wine: Albert King original on King! Never heard the Rationals' version. Cool.
	11:56am phat in lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:55 Amazing
	11:56am andy fuchs: @dennis diken: Sadly, I only got to know Vinnie late in life and dimensia was in full force. He had moments of coherence, but most of the time he wasn't too communicative. I've tried to speak with people who worked with him for the Boography Doug Tulloch and I are trying to put together, but many people have passed (Angelo Badalamente and Bucky Pizzarelli for example) and the people who are still alive (Frankie Valli and Tommy James) aren't interested. I plan to speak with John Tropea, Trade Martin, Charlie Caellelo and a few others, but it's tough as people are busy, ill or "unavailable". Vinnie didn't want a bio and couldn't have helped if he did...
	11:56am Handy Haversack: OK, we are vacuumed, and the egg thing is out of the oven. Saturday progressing. I cranked the show up over the vacuum!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "(Had You Told It Like It Was It Wouldn't Be Like ... Always seeing & hearing about TheRationals without actually hearing them - so appreciated.
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:56 a Voltron Production!
	11:58am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Cynical Girl" by "Marshall Crenshaw" I had never heard this before. So good! Though it also made me want to hear "Eurotrash Girl." But I kind of always want to hear "Eurotrash Girl."
	11:58am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:57 He was NOT amused.
	11:58am Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:53 the 9-Volt years! where dreams begin. I have a pal on the Ithaca music scene who went back to his four-track for late-night songwriting, with a baby sleeping upstairs. Take inspirato where you can
	11:59am Dennis Diken: ↳ andy fuchs @11:56 I take it you've read Charlie Callelo's book? loved it!! it offers probably the most 4 Seasons lore we're likely to see.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:58 this interview (i think in Musician Mag?) was very detailed, where marshall was saying he used tin foil to emulate a snare drum, etc. blew me mind.
	12:00pm Morphe’: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:58 Johnny Lyndon did not win the Irish Euro Vison spot(theoretically voted on by the peoples)..
	12:01pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:40 ... pretty wonderful, RR63. I was thinking of being lucky as well, in being able to appreciate BB as a bridge between musical eras and a monument unto himself
	12:02pm Morphe’: ↳ Morphe’ @12:00 the song was emotional but dull but his sillly outfits were truly silly and most Irish probably see him as a blowback Irish looking to gain in a smaller mkt
	12:02pm Mr. Fine Wine: There were plenty of tix available for Fats's two-shows-a-night weeklong stand at the Ritz circa 1988. Empty house the night I went.
	12:02pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:00 oh, I'll have to get my hands on that. 'Musician' interviews used to be the best. That's some Tape Op-level geekery there
	12:02pm clarke: Frank?? still in Queens??
	12:03pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "I'm Gonna Cross That River" by "Fats Domino" Made a pilgrimage to Fats' house last year❤️
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:02 oh, man, i wish i had hung onto that issue!! it also was super-informative about some great singles that crenshaw loved.
	12:04pm Morphe’: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @12:03 Where is Fats’ house
	12:04pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:00 i bought a tascam 4-track for $10 several years ago but never got the broken pause button repaired. kind of essential
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Morphe’ @12:00 Well, spend enough years being an asshole, and it's hard to win a popularity contest, I'd imagine. I've never won one either! Imagine!
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Morphe’ @12:04 right by DRR's house!!
	12:04pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Mr. Fine Wine @12:02 wasn't that a great show, Mr FW? I went one night and snuck backstage to meet the great man. what a thrill!
	12:05pm wenzo: @ Mr. Fine Wine… that’s sad
	12:05pm drr: ↳ Morphe’ @12:04 In my neighborhood! Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans. I drove past it yesterday. It's mostly yellow with black or brown trim and has a big "FD" on it. Hard to miss.
	12:05pm Dano59: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:58 ..you never heard Cynical Girl before? wow
	12:06pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Morphe’ @12:04 You can't miss it. F D and musical notes on the iron fence
	12:06pm Mr. Fine Wine: Was great. Was sad.
	12:07pm clarke: Hubig!! wassssuuuup??
	12:07pm Morphe’: Clarke … help a brother out here. Oui est le chateau de Fats????
	12:07pm Hughie Considine: I would read a comprehensive history of siblings in pop music, not just the obvious ones but people like the Crenshaws and the Zanes bros and the two (count 'em) two sets of Butler brothers in rock...
	12:07pm drr: ↳ Morphe’ @12:04 The street it's on, Caffin Avenue, is now officially named Fats Domino Avenue. My neighbor Mabel who went to high school with him just refers to him as Antoine.
	12:08pm McGroovey: ↳ andy fuchs @11:56 Is that the Doug Tulloch who wrote the Danelectro book? I assume so. Great book.
	12:08pm Stu from Atl: Petrucio in Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew is from Mantua
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Morphe’ @12:07 7th Ward near dave's place!!
	12:09pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "The Usual Thing" by "Marshall Crenshaw" Gee this record sounds so fresh and wonderful after years of not hearing some of these songs
	12:09pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:08 NINTH ward, clarke!
	12:09pm wenzo: @Mr. FW do you remember if you caught the early show or the late show?
	12:10pm Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:07 Vicki & Debi Peterson; Tegan and Sara ... Cowsills; Ray & Dave D.; and hopefully not too many Beach Boys (which has been done)
	12:10pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:07 Charlie and Inez Foxx, Richard and Karen...
	12:10pm Dano59: Jack & Meg White ...
	12:11pm Hubig Pie: Lower nine I don't mind dyin'
	12:11pm Listener Baby: ↳ PatrickMC @12:09 Agree! Needs a strong cover. Sturgill perhaps? perhaps?
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:09 ah lowah nine!!
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: She and He, kids.
	12:11pm Hughie Considine: It's a ripe topic for exploration!
	12:11pm Mr. Fine Wine: ↳ wenzo @12:09 Thinking it was an early Tuesday show, but that might not be right.
	12:11pm PatrickMC: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:07 How bout 3 brother bands? Televisionaries
	12:12pm drr: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:11 'Im an' 'Er.
	12:12pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:58 Handy has to go buy all of Marshall's records and sit down and listen to them. There will be no stinkers in the pile.
	12:12pm Squints: ↳ McGroovey @12:12 What he said.
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: ↳ PatrickMC @12:11 That would be a whole section of the book!
	12:13pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:11 Red Hot (German band?) do an even more rockabilly version of 'Usual Thing'
	12:13pm SamTheRam: Gentile Giant had three brothers
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @12:12 Honestly, I thrive on homework. I really peaked in high school.
	12:13pm Mr. Fine Wine: Four brothers in two pairs: Chuck and Chick, Hank and Claude Carbo.
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Mr. Fine Wine @12:13 Woah!
	12:13pm pp: ↳ DG @11:55 Better Midler did a cover and routinely sing this at her shows
	12:14pm Mr. Fine Wine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:13 But did you peek? At fellow students' exams?
	12:14pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:07 The 5 Stairsteps! (Not to mention the Jackson family band...)
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: Of course, brothers who hated each other would be one of the book's central fixations.
	12:14pm Listener Baby: ↳ Dano59 @12:13 News we can use!
	12:14pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:03 @clarke July 1982 issue of Musician, Willie Nelson on the cover? It's for sale on Ebay.
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:02 Still here. Digging the tunes and have a discussion with my other half regarding our studio set-up.
	12:15pm Squints: Frickin' Turntable 1.
	12:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Mr. Fine Wine @12:14 Moi?! Never! I would sometimes just drop my papers off in a friend's car and then skip school and take illicit substances. Ah, youth.
	12:15pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:14 Yes, each and every Stairstep!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:14 i don't remember willie being on the front, but hey..
	12:16pm Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @12:14 here ya go: further study after the show poprockrecord.com...
	12:16pm PatrickMC: ↳ drr @12:14 Don't forget the 5 Osmonds, 4 Nevilles, and 3 Gibbs (+ Andy)
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:14 ah, cool!! MovieTime??
	12:17pm Mr. Fine Wine: Bobby, Curtis, Cecil, Friendly, Harry
	12:17pm phat in Lincoln: Ooh, here it is.
	12:17pm Dano59: ↳ PatrickMC @12:11 .... aaaaaand the Haden Triplets
	12:18pm Ross T.: Fogertys
	12:18pm Dano59: (three sister bands)
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Carter administration...
	12:18pm Dano59: ↳ Ross T. @12:18 Cowboy Junkies
	12:19pm clarke: i'll just put this out there, while i absolutely love the early crenshaw records represented, here, today - i would say that Downtown & Mary Jean are both really, really GREAT!!!
	12:19pm DjLorraine: Marshall Crenshaw interview!
	12:21pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:19 agreed. absolutely -- Good Evening too, tho' not MC's favorite
	12:21pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:19 Yup. And that speaks directly to McGroovey's 12:12 comment. Not a single bad record ever. I'm partial to Good Morning and Life's Too Short, also.
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: National Guitar Day ...in a futile attempt to limit us to one day...
	12:22pm Joe B: ↳ HungryFreak @11:06 that was 2011 - Marshall playing the 1st album at City Winery
	12:22pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:21 that's like only having one guitar!
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:16 This week was Opening Night, Also forgot to mention that we watched "10" last week.
	12:22pm Squints: ↳ Dano59 @12:21 Good Morning does seem like "he better have it a hit here." But I love all the songs.
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ PatrickMC @12:11 K8 says "Nelson." And the Andrews Sisters.
	12:22pm PatrickMC: ↳ clarke @12:19 Agree completely. Mary Jean is one of the best albums of entire 80s.
	12:22pm Squints: ↳ Dano59 @12:22 THAT's crazy talk.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:22 ha ha, wow! i wouldn't think 10 stands up too well. i didn't care for it that much when it came out, ha ha.
	12:23pm Dano59: ↳ Squints @12:22 more of a demoralized time, he's said, a contractual obligation and lots of covers. But great!! covers
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:23 It was ok. Best part for me was seeing all the classic adult film stars during the "party" scene.
	12:25pm clarke: hah!! dudley was hilarious with peter = but on his own?? nah.
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:25 I would like to revisit Arthur again though. I'm a big fan of The Critic and Arthur is referenced quite often on that show.
	12:25pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:25 the physical comedy in "10". was hilarious
	12:26pm clarke: citing from memory, some of the 45's that Marshall mentioned in that article: Edwin Starr = Agent Double-O-Soul, Denise Lasalle - Trapped By A Thing Called Love...
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:25 "It stinks! It stinks! It stinks!" "Yes, Mr. Sherman, everything stinks ..."
	12:27pm Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:27 "Penguins can't fly." That still dissolves my brother and me into giggles.
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:25 hmm.. i don't remember liking it. ha ha ha.
	12:29pm Hubig Pie: I think TCM screened Arthur right after 10 last week. A Dudley Moore retrospective ? They also screened Jon Voight movies . Deliverance still packs a punch. Midnight Cowboy not so much.
	12:29pm PatrickMC: Speaking of Robert Gordon, Marshall's performance was the high point of the RG Memorial show at Bowery Electric a few weeks ago
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:29 Yes, they did. But I had work in the morning, so I didn't bother starting it.
	12:31pm clarke: calbi rules!
	12:32pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:31 Indeed! Love his cuts. Never heard a bum one.
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Marshall Crenshaw" LPs used to skip on my cheap Stereo as a kid ...I couldn't appreciate some Sabbath til the Digital era practically !
	12:33pm DG: ↳ SamTheRam @12:13 Hmmm, funny that a band of guys named Shulman wound be in a "gentile" band. (wink/laugh emoji here, if I knew how to do that here)
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Is the Intervention Records reissue of "Field Day" a result of Marshall getting his copyright back, or did IR license from Warners?
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Ah, I guess not....
	12:35pm clarke: doesn't sound like it.
	12:36pm Joe B: we had it all! key largo
	12:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: I had that Vangelis 7 inch. Lol.
	12:36pm Frank In Queens: I just looked and the IR pressing is OOP.
	12:36pm Mr. Fine Wine: David Gorman: like Marshall, a Detroiter.
	12:36pm SeanG: just like Bogey and Bacall!
	12:37pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Joe B @12:36 Just like Bogie & Bacall...
	12:37pm drr: Ah yes, Bertie Haggis, the Scottish Songbird...
	12:37pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ SeanG @12:36 Beat me to it! :)
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: "Duty as a dog owner to set your dog up for success." [Looks at napping Bagpipe. Brushes lint off medals.]
	12:39pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Marshall Crenshaw" Michael, smart interesting questions. You're the best interviewer on FMU.
	12:39pm clarke: Bagpipe puts head up for a sec - then back down.
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:39 Ha, fly on the wall!
	12:40pm clarke: those cameras are really paying off!
	12:40pm Dano59: hey, "Hollywood Rock" is a book! (edited)
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: ↳ PatrickMC @12:39 That's very kind of you to say
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ PatrickMC @12:39 total hard agree!
	12:42pm Dano59: I boought one of those "Field Day" LPs with another record stamped on side 2. Guess the reissue is timely
	12:42pm Jessie: I love that Marshall is comfortable in his own skin. No pretense there. Excellent work Michael Shelley.
	12:43pm Ross T.: Love Marshall Crenshaw's run of albums in the 80s into the 90s. All #1s.
	12:43pm phat in Lincoln: Totally checking out those books.
	12:43pm Dano59: Life's Too Short is an excellent guitar-skills showcase in his catalog
	12:44pm nycmusicnerd: Saw MC with the Smithereens last week at Sony Hall. It was a good show!
	12:45pm clarke: that would be elvis costello written, right?
	12:45pm listener phat in lincoln: I miss the recording studio. I need to get back.
	12:46pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:45 funny how he calls it a dave edmunds song - he's not wrong, if that's the style he played it in
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in lincoln @12:45 me, too! but it hasn't slowed me down, much!
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: Great interview!
	12:47pm Squints: ↳ Dano59 @12:46 EC mighta writ it. But DE owns it.
	12:47pm Joe B: thanks Michael and Marshall!
	12:47pm nycmusicnerd: Great interview Michael!
	12:47pm Dano59: ↳ Squints @12:47 that's. what I'm sayin
	12:47pm DjLorraine: ↳ clarke @12:45 Correct
	12:47pm clarke: i give this interview a huge A to B-minus (nudge nudge)!! FANtastic!!
	12:47pm Mr. Fine Wine: Marshall's speaking voice reminds of other dudes I grew up with in Detroit.
	12:47pm LesleyK: Enjoyed the interview...thank you!
	12:47pm Richard: Wonderful interview. Great perspective.
	12:48pm Joe B: ↳ Squints @12:47 exactly!
	12:48pm joe mulligan: nice interview, Marshall's a stand up guy
	12:48pm Mr. Fine Wine: That was cool! Thanks, Michael!
	12:48pm dreamyandseedy: excellent interview!
	12:48pm Corey: Loved that. Thanks for the great interview, Michael!
	12:48pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! And MC!
	12:48pm phat in lincoln: ↳ Song: "Someday Someway" by "Marshall Crenshaw" To this day that guitar intro makes me smile and maybe gasp a little. Good God what a song.
	12:48pm DG: Speaking as a huge Costello fan, yes, Edmunds' version is way better. Costello's (which is on various b-sides/rarities collections) sounds like a demo, don't think he even sings the whole thing.
	12:48pm Joe B: Loved this LP when it came out, saw Marshall opening for the Stray Cats at the Capitol in Passaic late in '82, fantastic show!
	12:48pm Baja Joe: Very grounded person is Mr. Crenshaw. Thanks.
	12:48pm phat in lincoln: Great interview Michael. Thank you.
	12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: No. 1 interview. That album never gets old.
	12:49pm dreamyandseedy: love that he confessed he had to work really really hard to play guitar
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Someday Someway" by "Marshall Crenshaw" Thing is ...this track really is like something we might have had if BuddyHolly could've done more.
	12:49pm Dano59: ↳ DG @12:48 it's on Get Happy!! but much slower; and Linda Ronstadt covered it back then too
	12:50pm clarke: "the future's all yers ya lousy bicycle!!!"
	12:50pm Joe B: ↳ Dano59 @12:49 Linda was covering Dave's version though
	12:50pm PatrickMC: ↳ Dano59 @12:49 No, first out in US on Taking Liberties compilation
	12:50pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "South American Getaway" by "Burt Bacharach" Thank you Michael. I'm in musical paradise right now. RIP Burt
	12:50pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:49 I've tried playing it but never got it right; had much better success with 'Cynical Girl'
	12:51pm Ross T.: Mary Jean and 9 Others probably my favorite LP of his which is saying a ton. Wikipedia shows it as not charting. Goodbye cruel world.
	12:51pm cosmic matrix: hah! i thought it was a self-titled track for sec
	12:51pm phat in lincoln: ↳ Ross T. @12:51 That never charted? Nuts.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Ross T. @12:51 yeah - that's a mystery!
	12:52pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "South American Getaway" by "Burt Bacharach" This song is pure heaven, and I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. B about five years ago. He was generous of spirit and totally plugged in, and sent me three tickets for his show at the Carolina Theater. This never happened with any other person I interviewed. A mensch.
	12:52pm DG: ↳ Dano59 @12:49 It may be a bonus cut on GH, but it wasn't on there originally. It was a b-side & was first (at least in the U.S.) on that "Taking Liberties" collection. Couldn't figure out why Costello didn't emphasize the melody like Edmunds did.
	12:52pm clarke: then again, i don't pay ANY attention to f'n charts!
	12:52pm KWilde: I saw MC play one of those free lunchtime shows at the Seaport several years ago. Solo acoustic casual - handful of people in the audience - great performance
	12:52pm Squints: ↳ Dano59 @12:50 Which is why myself and fellow late-starting hacks are thinking of calling ourselves Close Enough.
	12:52pm PJ: ↳ clarke @12:51 Marshall lost a lot of momentum after Field Day
	12:53pm Ross T.: According to Wikipedia. First two made it to 50ish, Downtown in 100s then nada.
	12:53pm gf2002: This is among my favorite scenes in any movie, any era, where the music fits the scenes perfectly. I love how Redford and Ross broke character, blew the take in the bank vault, and they left it in the final cut.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:52 do eet!!
	12:54pm PatrickMC: ↳ Ross T. @12:51 You are correct. And Christgau said it "drags" which proves his lack of ears
	12:54pm Ross T.: Of course all #1s in our houses.
	12:54pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:52 Just make sure to feel somethin' in B flat, m....
	12:54pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Someday Someway" by "Marshall Crenshaw" this song makes me feel young and light
	12:54pm egould: Dubba dubba daaa!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ PJ @12:52 I really dug the rest of his '80s output but lost touch in the '90s.
	12:55pm Michael Shelley: 2001 I got to open a bunch of shows for Marshall Crenshaw in Japan - we were often the only two English speakers - so we talked a LOT - great musician - super interesting guy! www.michaelshelley.net...
	12:55pm Ross T.: I remember the reaction to Field Day as overproduced. Whenever You're on My Mind is as good as anything ever recorded.
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:54 i don't read charts either, ha ha.
	12:56pm phat in lincoln: ↳ Song: "South American Getaway" by "Burt Bacharach" Had to check to see if this was The Swingle Singers on the record. It is not, apparently.
