	11:02am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers.
	♥ 11:02am Dano59: ↳ Song: "The Girls In Their Summer Clothes" by "Bruce Spri... always wondered if Bruce meant to sound as depressed as he does on this
	♥ 11:03am JG: For me, albums Magic and Working on a Dream are highpoint of later Springsteen
	11:03am ledzeppelinsucks: Circle Jerks killed last night at Observatory. TSOL and Negative Approach were the best.

	11:04am geokopp: Good morning Michael & Bruce!
	11:05am geokopp: Catching Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets tonight at Asbury Lanes! Anyone else going??
	♥ 11:06am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ geokopp @11:05 I wish
	♥ 11:06am Listener Baby: Is this a Girl theme, or a Summer theme. Could be either, you know.
	♥ 11:07am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:07am Bob: ↳ geokopp @11:05 Just saw them but still jelly. Have a blast!
	11:07am Joe Mulligan 🦀: More women are surfing in Rockaway beach NY than ever. New Jersey not so much.
	♥ 11:08am Squints: ↳ Dano59 @11:02 The bridge and that last verse suggest it. But maybe not so much as he's still standing but he's got to put his shoulder down a little.
	11:08am Bob: Good morning all. Missed you last week. I just went a little nuts at the artisan cheese stall from our farmers market. There will be cheese this week
	11:09am Dennis Diken: @geokopp - see you tonite! I think young Todd is going too
	♥ 11:09am Frank In Queens: It's Hoffman Boards Radio!
	♥ 11:09am Squints: Reverend Horton Heat and his opener The Delta Bombers killed it last Tuesday at the Music Room in West Yarmouth.
	♥ 11:09am drr: ↳ Dano59 @11:02 I wonder if he meant it to sound so much like Stephin Merritt/Magnetic Fields. I thought it was a cover.
	♥ 11:09am Dano59: now there's an offer he shouldn't refuse
	♥ 11:10am Michael Shelley: ↳ geokopp @11:05 me!
	11:10am Bob: ↳ Squints @11:09 Good to hear. I'm thinking about hitting that in Ann Arbor coming up
	11:10am geokopp: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:09 Excellent! See you later.
	♥ 11:10am Dano59: ↳ drr @11:09 laconic? lackluster? that's a Magnetic fields highlight
	11:10am Peter Horvath: Morning, Michael and all the #1’ers
	♥ 11:11am Squints: I went down in a burnin' ring of Tom Paxton.
	♥ 11:11am Listener Baby: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:09 Double. Ojai fun day? Did you lose 15 pounds?
	♥ 11:11am Squints: ↳ Bob @11:10 Do. Band are great and Jim Heath is a heck of a nice guy.
	♥ 11:12am nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...and BOATLOADS of envy to anyone catching Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets tonight. I'd give anything to be there, but getting home would be too problematic.
	11:13am Dennis Diken: @Baby - hey! Ojai was a gas. Alas, I think I gained a few…
	♥ 11:13am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "The Last Thing On My Mind" by "Hank Snow" Baby. I don’t get it?
	♥ 11:13am Dano59: Missed out on EC & Nick last Sat. in Syracuse, and Neil Young's killing it on the other coast, alas. Going to a graduation party today then to see some friends play an outdoor stage tonight
	♥ 11:14am listener phat in Lincoln: So, I'm working on starting a new band and the only way I can describe the sound I want is "#1 hits."
	♥ 11:15am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:13 Look at any photo of his head
	11:15am Bob Barth: Good Morning Michael!! Hey everybody!!
	♥ 11:15am nycmusicnerd: Saw NL/EC Wednesday night at the Beacon. Had a ticket for Thursday night, but I was exhausted & couldn't make it.
	♥ 11:16am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:15 You’re freaking me out.
	♥ 11:16am Squints: I love to hear any reports of broader set lists if NL/LS play out without Elvis.
	11:17am SeanG: getting some coffee, be right back where's clarke?
	♥ 11:17am Listener Baby: He did have a pair on him, didn’t he? What he lacked in height, he made up for in his ability to hear well.
	♥ 11:18am Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:12 I'm at the point where if I see a show outside my normal commuting distance, I book a room.
	♥ 11:18am Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:14 I'm for it!
	♥ 11:19am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Squints @11:18 Wish I could afford to do that. And the Beacon isn't outside normal commuting distance for me. I work in NYC, so I do that commute every day.
	♥ 11:20am Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:19 It does sometimes challenge me just how bad I want to see a particular act.
	11:21am rx scabin: I am hoping that my HS reunion (45th) is better than Janis' one. At least, I made it to 45th.
	♥ 11:21am Squints: This track always tickled me when I first heard on the Spirit Of America comp in 1975 or1976 or whenever.
	11:22am Juli: Why du ppl even mention Trump?
	11:23am paul: Are my eyes going or is the comment board hard to read today?
	♥ 11:23am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Squints @11:20 I looked into Asbury Lanes. I could have made it down there OK. But going back my only option would have put me at Port Authority around 3am. There are some places in NYC where it's cool to hang out at 3am. Port Authority ain't one of them.
	♥ 11:23am Listener Baby: ↳ paul @11:23 Both?
	♥ 11:24am nycmusicnerd: ↳ paul @11:23 Yes
	11:24am Bob: I saw Los Lobos at a free, noon street party they do in Ann Arbor Thursdays all summer. Huge crowd. Beautiful weather. Insanely great set. They did their family hits/covers type set and just blew people away. I feel like we all take that band a little for granted because they're so drama free, or something. All original guys, playing together for fifty years, and just so effortlessly great.
	11:24am paul: ↳ Listener Baby @11:23 Very possible.
	♥ 11:24am Michael Shelley: ↳ Juli @11:22 Who mentioned him? And why not?
	11:24am bobobob plasticland: bob in cobb county Georgia...hot AF!!!!
	♥ 11:24am Squints: ↳ paul @11:23 If you're like me, both. Time and gravity. Going bionic for nearshightedness ten years ago hasn't kept me from needing readers.
	11:25am PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @11:24 True that
	♥ 11:25am Listener Baby: Ahhhh.
	11:26am paul: Solved! Thank you!
	♥ 11:26am luka: gm no. 1 hit enjoyers. there’s a Richmond bar/venue called Get Tight
	♥ 11:26am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Baby, Dennis!!, George!, Peter, NYCMnerd, Frank, Christina, everybody!
	♥ 11:26am joe mulligan: Drunk is more loose than tight, no?
	♥ 11:26am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:24 I agree we don't give Los Lobos enough props.
	♥ 11:26am Squints: Heh. Some color contrasts only look great in the diagram.
	11:26am bobobob fabtriplasticland: But is Willie in Cobb co Ga.???????
	11:27am Ed: Michael! I’m the idiot in the woof-moo t-shirt ahead of you in line last night for the Elvis Costello show. I had a brain fart and didn’t realize who I was talking too. Love your show! Pleasure to meet you!
	♥ 11:27am nycmusicnerd: Hey Jack!
	♥ 11:28am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:26 Thirded. What a great band. Best ever cover of I Got Loaded.
	♥ 11:28am nycmusicnerd: Todd-o-phonic Todd is taking today off to go to the NL/LS show.
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: Dang, I hear this stuff about the shingles vaccine, but I just had a sore arm.
	♥ 11:29am nycmusicnerd: I had my shingles shot July 3. Spent the entire next day in bed with chills.
	11:29am Eli: Got the shots last year and had no reaction at all either time. I was wondering if they gave me a placebo.
	11:29am Juli: Sorry lol I j thought he was so unworthy of being spoken of lol Du what yu wish!
	♥ 11:30am Frank In Queens: Mike Sin is filling in for Todd today
	♥ 11:30am Squints: Did Jimmy Smith drum on the Beatles' records?
	11:30am rx scabin: My mother had shingles in her eye. She said it was one of the worst experiences of her life. It was a coda to her bone marrow transplant.
	♥ 11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: What?! Jimmy Smith on Bad?! That's nuts.
	♥ 11:31am listener phat in Lincoln: I'd absolutely love to see a full Nick Lowe set.
	11:32am PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @11:24 One of my r'n'r regrets was seeing X w/Los Lobos at old Peppermint Lounge in about 1980 and spending too much time at the bar
	11:32am GeorgeSimian: Elvis wasn’t good at the Beacon.
	♥ 11:32am nycmusicnerd: I almost left early. EC went on for way too long, IMHO.
	♥ 11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: I almost left early when I saw EC 3 weeks ago.
	11:32am geokopp: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:26 Greetings Hoboken Jack! Will you be at Asbury show tonight?
	11:32am Bob: I was curious to hear your review of Elvis but I think i get it. He's struggling
	11:32am GeorgeSimian: Nick Lowe was great. As always.
	11:33am ChrisB.: See youse guys tonight at the Lanes!
	♥ 11:33am Squints: ↳ Bob @11:32 I thought at Tanglewood he played manfully and fought through his limitations.
	11:33am Bob: ↳ PatrickMC @11:32 Even everything about that sounds great
	♥ 11:33am nycmusicnerd: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:32 Having said that, I think he did a better job than last year. Last year it felt like he was just phoning it in. I didn't get that vibe this time.
	♥ 11:33am Listener Baby: I left EC early last year. And not early enough, I might add. Nick and the lads changed my life.
	♥ 11:34am Hoboken Jack: I saw the Elvis/Nick show in Bridgeport CT the week before. EC said it was the first night of a new setlist and I'd say the first 20 minutes or so it showed, reinterpretations of classics, etc. But when the horn section left and it was just EC and the Imposters, they kicked butt and i really enjoyed the rest of the set.
	11:34am Bob: ↳ Squints @11:33 That was my take. It wasn't great but he was working hard. Props.
	♥ 11:34am Hoboken Jack: ↳ geokopp @11:32 Having just seen him, I'm skipping this one.
	♥ 11:34am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Listener Baby @11:33 Michael's right. NL/LS just keep getting better & better. I stuck around just so I could see EC/NL onstage together. But it took way too long to get to that point.
	11:35am ChrisB.: Elvis simply tours waaay too much. I think he’s already been in the area 3 times in the last 12 months.
	♥ 11:35am nycmusicnerd: ↳ ChrisB. @11:35 Yeah, he did 10 nights at the Gramercy a few months ago.
	11:36am GeorgeSimian: That time he played the whole Imperial Bedroom album a few years ago was amazing.
	♥ 11:37am listener phat in Lincoln: That's a really good point about sound these days.
	♥ 11:38am nycmusicnerd: I also liked the way he did Accidents Will Happen, with just the piano player. It was great.
	♥ 11:38am Hughie Considine: I remember well the Punch the Clock tour, which was perfectly brassy because the album was brassy. Great show at the Pier in NYC...ah, that was a good one.
	♥ 11:38am Hoboken Jack: ↳ geokopp @11:32 Belock will be there though
	11:38am GeorgeSimian: Yeah. The sounds wasn’t good. Same at the Capital last year.
	♥ 11:38am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Summertime Here We Come" by "Hi-Risers, The" YAY FOR THE HI-RISERS!!
	♥ 11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: I came to the conclusion that EC has kind of a limited melodic sense or range. That's fine, but if you're going to hit the same note a lot, protect that note in your range.
	♥ 11:38am Hoboken Jack: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:38 That was terrific.
	11:39am Dennis Diken: Hey, Jack!
	♥ 11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:38 See, I didn't like that at all! Lol.
	11:39am Dennis: I too will be at Nick’s show tonight in Asbury Park. Can’t wait!
	♥ 11:39am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:38 Sounds like Woof Moo will be well represented at this show. I HATE that I can't go!
	11:40am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Summertime Here We Come" by "Hi-Risers, The" ooo... might have to cover this one!
	11:40am Dennis: Heyyy, DD!
	♥ 11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:39 Totally wish I could be there. I can't really hop a plane. Or can I...
	♥ 11:40am myron feld: Michael Shelley: One time when Mike Sin filled in for you, a commenter posted, "Good, no hillbilly novelty records today!" I say MORE hillbilly novelty records!
	11:40am Cooh John: Michael, Tell Eddie, John says "hi". He played (with Greg) my birthday 14 years ago.
	♥ 11:41am nycmusicnerd: One of these days I'm gonna do a road trip to Rochester just to catch the Hi-Risers.
	11:41am Cooh John: Fun fact, Ben Vaughn produced LSJ.
	♥ 11:41am Pete from Hoboken: I saw Elvis at the Beacon on Thursday and the mix was really off as Michael was saying. Waaay too much buzzy bass and muddy mids. Elvis' mid-set raps were difficult to understand...a bit disappointed overall....
	♥ 11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: Where's Clarke?!
	♥ 11:43am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:30 Thanks Frank!
	♥ 11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:39 Don't feel too bad, I'm not able to make it either.
	11:43am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Who's Gonna Feed Them Hogs?" by "Tom T. Hall" Tom T for President
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Mad Mad World" by "Escorts, The" Recalls 'Take A Message To Mary' by the Everlys ...trust me.
	♥ 11:44am Michael Shelley: ↳ Juli @11:29 He is kind of like Voldemort! :)
	11:44am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Who's Gonna Feed Them Hogs?" by "Tom T. Hall" Played Watergate Blues on my show last Thursday Night
	♥ 11:44am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:43 Let's cry in our respective beers, Frank.
	♥ 11:44am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:40 Hop high planes in a single bound. Or make like Wadsworth Mansion and hop a freight.
	11:45am rob: More hog songs
	♥ 11:45am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @11:44 I actually just checked flights, I don't think I can get to Jersey from Omaha in time. Plus $1000+
	11:45am LesSchlepping: I left EC show on Thurs early. Was a little surprised how off it sounded. I knew i was there to see Nick, but didnt know how lopsided it would be.
	♥ 11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ LesSchlepping @11:45 Just off. A buddy of mine says EC has "gone full Dylan."
	♥ 11:46am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:45 Ouch. With a fare like that, people just think you'd flipped if you went to LA... by Omaha.
	♥ 11:46am Frank In Queens: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:44 Oof, I'll join you in spirit, but after the last two nights, gotta stay dry today!
	♥ 11:48am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 I don't drink. Those were metaphorical beers. :)
	♥ 11:48am Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:46 he's covering his reduced vocal range w/ a lot of "reinventing" melodies... and talking...
	♥ 11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:48 Yep.
	11:49am Bob: I think it's a shame someone didn't do a Rick Rubin type thing with Tom T. It would have been great to have a cheese free production of a bunch of his great songs. He was so good and most of his catalog could sound better to me
	11:51am BobPgh: DB Cooper
	♥ 11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: I don't know man. EC has a hot shit band and songs with some of the coolest and difficult arrangements in pop music and doesn't take advantage of that band being able to play those tight-ass arrangements? Instead he "reinterprets" them. Absolutely weird.
	♥ 11:51am Pete from Hoboken: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:49 you guys have hit it right on the head...
	♥ 11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: Kinda made me angry.
	♥ 11:51am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Hijacked" by "Joe Gibbs" Herbie Mann's "Hi-Jack" was a big hit for the hairy-torsoed flautist.
	♥ 11:51am Squints: Cowboy reggae. Yee haw, mon.
	♥ 11:51am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Hijacked" by "Joe Gibbs" This is very funny.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I cain't be on no hijacked plane ...I got hogs !! ...& a horn section...
	11:53am PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @11:49 Did you hear Neil Diamond's Rick Rubin album? I love Neil, just like I love Tom T, but they are who they are. You take the great with the merely good.
	♥ 11:53am Dano59: I've forgiven Dylan so many times that Costello would be easy
	11:53am SeanG: Cracker is playing in Boston tonight, forgot how much I liked "Eurotrash Girl"
	♥ 11:53am listener phat in Lincoln: It wasn't just his voice. It was his loose attention to rhythm and tempo, like he forgot how to count. And it was incoherent at times. The band couldn't follow him (not their fault).
	♥ 11:54am Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:51 Charlie Sexton played exactly 2 really interesting solos, and was otherwise mostly not audible
	11:54am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I'm In A Dancing Mood" by "Jonathan Richman" Waiting for Jonathan's Rick Rubin thing
	♥ 11:55am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I'm In A Dancing Mood" by "Jonathan Richman" How would one explain JR to a space alien?
	♥ 11:55am listener phat in Lincoln: Maybe it was better in other cities. But the Omaha show wasn't good. Anyway. I've gone on about this with several friends. I'm a bigger Nick Lowe fan these days anyway. And HE WAS AWESOME.
	♥ 11:55am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Baby @11:55 He might actually be one.
	♥ 11:55am nycmusicnerd: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:51 By contrast, NL doesn't go for anything fancy at all, just plays it straight. And it's wonderful.
	11:56am PatrickMC: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:54 Too bad. Then EC didn't really go full Dylan, because Charlie was awesome live with Bob every time I saw them
	11:56am gf2002: ↳ Squints @11:09 I'd love to see Rev Horton Heat again. I saw him April 1994 at the Paradise in Boston, Possum Dixon was the opener. One of the best, craziest, most intense live shows I've ever seen. I couldn't hear properly for several days. I was standing center stage right in front of Jim's Shure 55 mic, and Fender Twins cranked up. Taz Bentley was still the drummer. People kept sending shots up to the band, and the more they played and drank the more intense it got. Quite a few fistfights broke out in the crowd, including my friend getting punched in the head then returning the favor to a drunken idiot slam dancing. The entire floor was a sea of beer bottles by the end of the night. Possum Dixon wasn't well received by the rockabilly crowd, and after they covered "Like A Virgin" someone landed a full beer onto the guy's amp and it shorted out, so they got them off the stage. Crazy...and a terrific show. I'd see The Rev again if he comes my way.
	11:57am DG: While I can appreciate Jonathan R. at times, this sounds like something Adam Sandler would do.
	11:58am Dennis Diken: @Dennis - see you tonite at NL?
	♥ 11:59am JG: ↳ Song: "One After 909 (take 2)" by "Beatles, The" What album/collection is this 909 found? One of the BBC things? Anyone?
	11:59am Bob: ↳ PatrickMC @11:53 Yeah, and maybe I should have referenced Charlie Rich's Pictures and Paintings that Peter Guralnick executive produced. It's a masterpiece. Just Charlie doing what he really wanted to do with no crummy arrangement choices.
	♥ 11:59am Listener Baby: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:55 Thinking the same
	♥ 11:59am listener phat in Lincoln: I gotta go shop for guitar pedals but can't get up.
	♥ 12:00pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @11:56 Saw Rev. H.H. with Supersuckers many years ago in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Rev had a black eye, but the Supersuckers guitar player had two black eyes.
	12:00pm rx scabin: I remember the first time I heard J. Richman. I thought what is this and why do I like it?
	12:00pm Dennis: Yessir, DD! Really looking forward to this gig.
	12:01pm PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @11:59 Thx I will look for that!
	12:01pm Dennis: JG - Anthology Vol. 1, I believe
	♥ 12:01pm drr: ↳ DG @11:57 I like the sound of his music and usually the sentiment too; I don't like the "talk-like-I'm-brain-damaged" intro.
	♥ 12:02pm Michael Shelley: ↳ drr @12:01 lol
	♥ 12:02pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:01 I had the same thought.
	12:02pm Bob: ↳ PatrickMC @12:01 Pictures and Paintings? YES. Money back guarantee from me. It's a gem. Fantastic record. And then he died immediately afterwards. Such a drag.
	♥ 12:03pm Michael Shelley: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:55 100%
	12:03pm gf2002: ↳ JG @11:59 It's been on bootlegs for years, I had it on "Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 1" and other takes/edits are on Vol 7 I believe. They're all on YouTube now, and I think Spotify now too. The Anthology version was a different edit or something
	12:03pm DG: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:53 Have seen Elvis C. many times (since '78) & he was usually great, but the last time (at Forest Hills) was the weakest performance I've ever seen. The sound was so-so, & he couldn't quite keep up with the band at times. Maybe he was just tired (I know he had some health problems a few years ago) but it was an odd, low-energy kind of set (a lot of early stuff, w/some newer songs thrown in). This was pre-pandemic, so it's troubling to hear that he hasn't improved (or maybe just had an off night). That was the tour w/Blondie, who were great (even w/Chris Stein sitting for most of the show).
	♥ 12:04pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Heartbreaker" by "Nick Lowe" Odds are pretty good you'll hear this song tonight at Asbury Lanes.
	12:04pm PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @12:02 Not that we'd say Billy Sherrill's sides w/CR every veered towards schlock... 😉
	12:04pm BobPgh: Dion Warwick
	12:04pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Heartbreaker" by "Nick Lowe" such a great song
	♥ 12:04pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Listener Baby @11:55 "He's one of you guys."
	♥ 12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Heartbreaker" by "Nick Lowe" When great songwriters pick a great song from someone else... It's special.
	12:05pm Scott from Boston: Holy shit! That song is awesome
	12:05pm BobPgh: Bee Gees
	♥ 12:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:04 I have often suspected I was an alien.
	12:06pm ja’am: Abt that doors question, a concert I was at had the same 7/8 doors. In my case the doors opened at 7 and the band hit the stage at 8
	♥ 12:07pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "What Is Life?" by "Ventures, The" There were only a couple of fuzz boxes available back then.
	12:07pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "What Is Life?" by "Ventures, The" Calling Dr. Spector!
	♥ 12:07pm nycmusicnerd: NL has often said that he's not very prolific as a songwriter. Maybe it's wiser for him to release singles/EPs at this point. It could take forever for him to come up with an album's worth of material.
	12:07pm paul: Heartbreaker was on the Tokyo Bay / Crying Inside EP.
	12:07pm Bob: ↳ PatrickMC @12:04 Right. And I'm a super fan. I think every Charlie record has worthwhile moments. Even when the vocal group overdubs are awful. P&P has him playing his own piano, which producers even had him not doing at some point. Crazy. Check t out. Streaming for sure.
	♥ 12:08pm JG: ↳ Dennis @12:01 THanks!
	♥ 12:08pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "What Is Life?" by "Ventures, The" Probably a Tonebender.
	♥ 12:08pm Listener Baby: Everybody sounds like the Isley Brothers guy back then.
	♥ 12:08pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "What Is Life?" by "Ventures, The" i love this version!
	♥ 12:09pm GeoSinPhilly: ↳ Song: "What Is Life?" by "Ventures, The" The contrast between the fuzzed out guitar and the responding slippery country guitar is great.
	♥ 12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:08 yes!
	12:09pm Bob: Things I learned from the Leon Russell book. Leon plays the keyboard thing on the Ventures version of Telstar
	12:10pm DG: ↳ drr @12:01 Yes, exactly....nice tunes but he sometimes sounds like he's tryinig to sound dumb/child--like. I wasn't totally aware of the story behind his early, electric stuff (& why he gave it up); that Modern Lovers album (with the "darker" material) is great, even though he disavows it now. Guess he doesn't even play w/a band now, & considers electricity an evil force, or something.
	♥ 12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:08 Reading up and it might be a Fender Blender, which makes me really want one now.
	12:14pm gf2002: ↳ drr @12:00 Just recently I went looking for some video from that Spring '94 Horton Heat tour, and found a few full shows from Fall '94. The Dec '94 SF video on YouTube is close to what it felt like in Boston but not quite as crazy. The Paradise "stage" was only a foot or so off the audience floor so we were literally right there with the band. Still very cool to see the vids, good memories
	12:14pm PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @12:07 I remember going on a tour of RCA Studio B in Nashville in the 80s and the guide was demonstrating how the Nashville Sound was created, starting with Ronnie Milsap singing w/acoustic guitar. Then one by one, the guide would dial up another track - bass, drums, organ, pedal steel, strings. backing vocals, timpani, triangle,, etc. It was all i could do not to shout, stop!
	12:14pm Moammar: ↳ DG @12:10 Feel like his peak was the Rockin' and Romance album, which earnest but not cloying or affected. And it really does rock!
	12:15pm Bob: ↳ PatrickMC @12:14 Ha! I would have but I have impulse control issues
	12:17pm BobPgh: Paul's Grandfather was very clean!!!
	♥ 12:17pm drr: ↳ Moammar @12:14 I had that one; a college floormate would try and try to sing "Walter Johnson" and never succeed.
	12:17pm Greg g: As Ian McCulloch sings, “Do It Clean”
	12:18pm PatrickMC: ↳ Moammar @12:14 Jonathan Goes Country was very good a few yrs later
	12:19pm Bob Barth: The only thing wrong about a community pool... community.
	12:19pm paul: Hi. This is Gary Lewis and my dad didn't leave me anything.
	12:20pm Bob: Maybe my favorite Casuals song. I heard they're maybe playing a gig this week for Aaron? Probably no Johnny.
	♥ 12:21pm Dano59: btw Michael - the Walkabout (Australian tour) LP/CD has 6 tracks from recent-ish singles & EPs, Straitjackets covering Nick (and 'Friday on My Mind') and a live track.
	♥ 12:22pm listener phat in Lincoln: Where's Clarke?
	♥ 12:23pm DaveInVA: Last year, I got to sing a couple impromptu songs with Dave Walker (guitarist for Gary Lewis and the Playboys) for my 50th birthday celebration. He just happened to be playing a rare solo gig in the town where both he and my sister lives.
	♥ 12:23pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:20 I've Rikki post on FB and people out on the Cape are definitely tying to get something together. Might also pull a lot of old faces. I thought Johnny was in Japan recently. Don't know if or when back.
	♥ 12:23pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ DaveInVA @12:23 Nice
	♥ 12:24pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Mogambo" by "Los Tiki Phantoms" I could listen to surf-adjacent instrumentals all day long. That, and cowboy reggae.
	12:24pm DG: ↳ BobPgh @12:17 I found out recently that that line in Hard Day's Night was in in-joke. The actor who played his grandfather, Wilfred Brambell, was in a Britcom, "Steptoe & Son" (yes, the one that was Americanized into "Sanford & Son"), where he was described as a "dirty old man," as opposed to how Paul & co. referred to him.
	♥ 12:25pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Morning, Morning" by "Fifth Estate, The" Ring a ding dong, baby.
	12:26pm BobPgh: DG, Steptoe &Son is Great!!
	12:27pm Bob: ↳ Squints @12:23 I don't think Johnny will have anything to do with somebody else in the band. It's a shame. Even without Aaron that would still be one of the best rocknroll bands on the planet.
	12:27pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Morning, Morning" by "Fifth Estate, The" An unnamed subgenre was born when the Beatles were crossed with the Buckeroos.
	♥ 12:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Morning, Morning" by "Fifth Estate, The" Well shit, this is great.
	12:28pm Jett: It's called Bananamour
	♥ 12:28pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Bob @12:27 Someone posted Casuals @ Beachcomber in September...
	♥ 12:28pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:27 I don't think anyone is looking at it as a reformation or reunion. Just some friends getting together to send off their old friend.
	12:29pm Jett: You can never go wrong with this Ubangi stuff!
	12:29pm gf2002: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:13 I'm guessing the fuzz box on The Ventures' GH cover was a Mosrite FuzzRite, only because Mosrite was literally the Ventures' main gear company and endorsement in the late 60's and early 70's. If Mosrite had a new fuzz to go to market, the Ventures would use it. Harrison's could very well be a Fender Blender, but he also had one of the first Gibson Maestro Fuzztone FZ-1 pedals in the UK, as early as '63 which they tried on sessions for She Loves You and Lennon later on Don't Bother Me. And then there's the Vox ToneBender fuzz as well. Since Fender shipped all that gear to the band for Get Back/Let It Be, Harrison could have gotten a Blender from them and used it. Great tone whatever it was!
	♥ 12:29pm Squints: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:28 Yeah. That's what I'd seen. I think that was Rikki, whom I follow.
	♥ 12:30pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Warren Smith" This is pretty great, you betcha.
	12:30pm TimG: Jonathan now lives in my town (Chico CA) and can be seen and heard many a day strumming his guitar at Farmers Mkts etc working on new tunes. Such a treat
	12:30pm Bob: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:28 Oh cool. That's tempting. I thought it was happening tomorrow for some reason.
	12:31pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Get-E-Up (The Horse)" by "Preparations, The" Very Cool Jerk
	12:32pm LesSchlepping: Any insider info on when NL show starts? Assume 7pm is doors.
	♥ 12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ gf2002 @12:29 Does the Mosrite sound like the Tonebender? That's kind of the consensus about what George was using. I'm actually looking at pedals today and may just buy a clone of one or all of these pedals today. Lol.
	♥ 12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Go to Sleep" by "Peggy Lee" I feel like I read about how she got this tune.
	♥ 12:35pm Hughie Considine: ↳ TimG @12:30 Too bad Peggy never tackled "Tattooed Love Boys"
	♥ 12:35pm Hughie Considine: haha, that wasn't JUST for you TimG
	♥ 12:35pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:35 Lol
	12:36pm Cooh John: Totally #1
	12:36pm TimG: Jonathan now lives in my town (Chico CA) and can be seen and heard many a day strumming his guitar at Farmers Mkts etc working on new tunes. Such a treat
	♥ 12:37pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Where Are You Tonight?" by "Hi-Risers, The" YAY for more Hi-Risers! Thanks Michael!!
	12:39pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Linda Lou" by "Traits, The" Wow this is a fast take
	♥ 12:39pm Michael Shelley: ↳ LesSchlepping @12:32 doors say 7, tickets say 8 - who knows...
	12:40pm Bob: This might be rude to say but Greg also seems to have insanely long fingers. It’s crazy watching his fretwork. I feel like I too could be a great guitar player if I didn’t have stubby little digits.
	12:41pm Bob: ↳ TimG @12:36 !!
	12:42pm gf2002: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:34 It's hard to tell, the Mosrite Fuzzrite has its own character and it's been said a good example of it was Ron Ashton with The Stooges, but Ron also used other fuzz pedals like the Vox and the Fuzzface. It would also depend on George's guitar, if he was using a Tele or Strat it would trigger the fuzz different than a Les Paul, which would drive it harder. The Fender Blender is a pretty unique tone, if you can try one out, or a clone of it, that would be the best test. I'm personally a fan of the Gibson Maestro FZ fuzz sound, and I have the silver Boss FZ-5 on my pedalboard since it clones the FZ-1, FuzzFace, and Octavia but I only use it for the FZ-1 channel to get the 60's LA studio fuzz. I'd check out an FZ-5 too
	♥ 12:42pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:40 I noticed that during their set with Nick Lowe and Tanglewood.
	12:42pm Todd from RVA: Did you say you thought Redd Volkert had passed? I am pretty sure he lives in Galax Virginia now.
	12:43pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Reddline Fever" by "Redd Volkaert" Out-John Doeing John Doe
	12:43pm Bob: ↳ Squints @12:42 You can’t unsee it!
	♥ 12:43pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Bob @12:40 I'm no guitar player, but one thing I've noticed about Greg is that he plays hunched over. He doesn't stand up straight. My back would be killing me if I tried to play like that.
	12:43pm gf2002: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:34 There are also several clones of the FuzzRite on the market, originals are too expensive :)
	12:47pm gf2002: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:34 On the insanity of the guitar pedal market today, Fender issued a Kevin Shields signature pedal called the "Shields Blender", the retail was 500 and it's already selling for between one and two grand on the resale market. Crazy!
	♥ 12:47pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Went to Perth, Ontario last night for my second Southern Avenue show of the summer. Saw Sudan Archives on Thursday and a wild punk-folk band from Poland called Hanba! on Wednesday. (The tuba player had to stayed seated because even seated his tuba was grazing the ceiling of the basement club House of Targ.) Great week of live music, but I am truly too old to be going out three nights in a row.
	♥ 12:49pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Song: "Near You" by "Teenage Fanclub" Piano hook = #1
	♥ 12:49pm prof.fuzz: mmmm... teenage fanmotor
	12:50pm Bob: I still can’t get my head around a TF without Gerry Love.
	♥ 12:50pm egould: ↳ Song: "Near You" by "Teenage Fanclub" Now you’re just pandering to your audience, Michael. Teenage Fanclub? So obvious. :-)
	♥ 12:51pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:50 Fortunately, I'm easy that way. Carry on, MS.
	♥ 12:51pm prof.fuzz: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:34 i'm a huge mosrite fan. using a mid-fi psych byke fuzz for those tones. yummy.
	♥ 12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ gf2002 @12:47 I saw that. That's absolutely crazy. And it can't be THAT great a pedal. People fetishize everything.
	12:51pm Greg g: Howdy!
	♥ 12:51pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Near You" by "Teenage Fanclub" That really moved the rope.
	♥ 12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: You know I have the parts to build most of these pedals, if not all. I should just get offy ass and make them. Lol.
	♥ 12:52pm Squints: ↳ Song: "You're Against" by "D-Coys, The" As band names go, this is right up there with the O-ne-ders.
	♥ 12:55pm egould: Thank you for your choice of songs and the order you presented them, Michael. I keenly look forward to a similar experience next Saturday morning.
	12:55pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "We The People" by "Carl Smith" Heavy rotation
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:52 Yes! The pedal market went crazy and shows no signs of calming down. Better to home brew than pay 300+ for someone doing the same thing in some of these cases. But if someone built or can build the exact sound/tone of the Ed King "Incense And Peppermints" fuzz tone in a simple pedal, I'm all in! My Boss FZ-5 comes close, I can't afford an original Maestro like King used in '66 :)
	♥ 12:56pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you, Michael!
	12:57pm Dennis Diken: Super fine show, Mikey!
	♥ 12:57pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:56 thanks for the pedal recommendation; I'm shoppin'.
	12:58pm rx scabin: Thank you Michael and Everyone.
	♥ 12:58pm egould: Roflol!!!!
	♥ 12:58pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "Calls AAA Florida" by "Arnold Schwarzenegger" those soundboards were hilarious in the late 90s!
	♥ 12:59pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael. Enjoy the show tonight!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	1:00pm Audrey: Thank you, the show was really enjoyable!
	1:01pm Bob: Good show. Always love the conversation as well.

	♥ 11:12am nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...and BOATLOADS of envy to anyone catching Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets tonight. I'd give anything to be there, but getting home would be too problematic.

	11:15am Bob Barth: Good Morning Michael!! Hey everybody!!
	♥ 11:15am nycmusicnerd: Saw NL/EC Wednesday night at the Beacon. Had a ticket for Thursday night, but I was exhausted & couldn't make it.
	♥ 11:16am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:15 You’re freaking me out.
	♥ 11:16am Squints: I love to hear any reports of broader set lists if NL/LS play out without Elvis.
	11:17am SeanG: getting some coffee, be right back where's clarke?
	♥ 11:17am Listener Baby: He did have a pair on him, didn’t he? What he lacked in height, he made up for in his ability to hear well.
	♥ 11:18am Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:12 I'm at the point where if I see a show outside my normal commuting distance, I book a room.
	♥ 11:18am Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:14 I'm for it!
	♥ 11:19am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Squints @11:18 Wish I could afford to do that. And the Beacon isn't outside normal commuting distance for me. I work in NYC, so I do that commute every day.
	♥ 11:20am Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:19 It does sometimes challenge me just how bad I want to see a particular act.
	11:21am rx scabin: I am hoping that my HS reunion (45th) is better than Janis' one. At least, I made it to 45th.
	♥ 11:21am Squints: This track always tickled me when I first heard on the Spirit Of America comp in 1975 or1976 or whenever.
	11:22am Juli: Why du ppl even mention Trump?
	11:23am paul: Are my eyes going or is the comment board hard to read today?
	♥ 11:23am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Squints @11:20 I looked into Asbury Lanes. I could have made it down there OK. But going back my only option would have put me at Port Authority around 3am. There are some places in NYC where it's cool to hang out at 3am. Port Authority ain't one of them.
	♥ 11:23am Listener Baby: ↳ paul @11:23 Both?
	♥ 11:24am nycmusicnerd: ↳ paul @11:23 Yes
	11:24am Bob: I saw Los Lobos at a free, noon street party they do in Ann Arbor Thursdays all summer. Huge crowd. Beautiful weather. Insanely great set. They did their family hits/covers type set and just blew people away. I feel like we all take that band a little for granted because they're so drama free, or something. All original guys, playing together for fifty years, and just so effortlessly great.
	11:24am paul: ↳ Listener Baby @11:23 Very possible.
	♥ 11:24am Michael Shelley: ↳ Juli @11:22 Who mentioned him? And why not?
	11:24am bobobob plasticland: bob in cobb county Georgia...hot AF!!!!
	♥ 11:24am Squints: ↳ paul @11:23 If you're like me, both. Time and gravity. Going bionic for nearshightedness ten years ago hasn't kept me from needing readers.
	11:25am PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @11:24 True that
	♥ 11:25am Listener Baby: Ahhhh.
	11:26am paul: Solved! Thank you!
	♥ 11:26am luka: gm no. 1 hit enjoyers. there’s a Richmond bar/venue called Get Tight
	♥ 11:26am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Baby, Dennis!!, George!, Peter, NYCMnerd, Frank, Christina, everybody!
	♥ 11:26am joe mulligan: Drunk is more loose than tight, no?
	♥ 11:26am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:24 I agree we don't give Los Lobos enough props.
	♥ 11:26am Squints: Heh. Some color contrasts only look great in the diagram.
	11:26am bobobob fabtriplasticland: But is Willie in Cobb co Ga.???????
	11:27am Ed: Michael! I’m the idiot in the woof-moo t-shirt ahead of you in line last night for the Elvis Costello show. I had a brain fart and didn’t realize who I was talking too. Love your show! Pleasure to meet you!
	♥ 11:27am nycmusicnerd: Hey Jack!
	♥ 11:28am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:26 Thirded. What a great band. Best ever cover of I Got Loaded.
	♥ 11:28am nycmusicnerd: Todd-o-phonic Todd is taking today off to go to the NL/LS show.
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: Dang, I hear this stuff about the shingles vaccine, but I just had a sore arm.
	♥ 11:29am nycmusicnerd: I had my shingles shot July 3. Spent the entire next day in bed with chills.
	11:29am Eli: Got the shots last year and had no reaction at all either time. I was wondering if they gave me a placebo.
	11:29am Juli: Sorry lol I j thought he was so unworthy of being spoken of lol Du what yu wish!
	♥ 11:30am Frank In Queens: Mike Sin is filling in for Todd today
	♥ 11:30am Squints: Did Jimmy Smith drum on the Beatles' records?
	11:30am rx scabin: My mother had shingles in her eye. She said it was one of the worst experiences of her life. It was a coda to her bone marrow transplant.
	♥ 11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: What?! Jimmy Smith on Bad?! That's nuts.
	♥ 11:31am listener phat in Lincoln: I'd absolutely love to see a full Nick Lowe set.
	11:32am PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @11:24 One of my r'n'r regrets was seeing X w/Los Lobos at old Peppermint Lounge in about 1980 and spending too much time at the bar
	11:32am GeorgeSimian: Elvis wasn’t good at the Beacon.
	♥ 11:32am nycmusicnerd: I almost left early. EC went on for way too long, IMHO.
	♥ 11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: I almost left early when I saw EC 3 weeks ago.
	11:32am geokopp: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:26 Greetings Hoboken Jack! Will you be at Asbury show tonight?
	11:32am Bob: I was curious to hear your review of Elvis but I think i get it. He's struggling
	11:32am GeorgeSimian: Nick Lowe was great. As always.
	11:33am ChrisB.: See youse guys tonight at the Lanes!
	♥ 11:33am Squints: ↳ Bob @11:32 I thought at Tanglewood he played manfully and fought through his limitations.
	11:33am Bob: ↳ PatrickMC @11:32 Even everything about that sounds great
	♥ 11:33am nycmusicnerd: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:32 Having said that, I think he did a better job than last year. Last year it felt like he was just phoning it in. I didn't get that vibe this time.
	♥ 11:33am Listener Baby: I left EC early last year. And not early enough, I might add. Nick and the lads changed my life.
	♥ 11:34am Hoboken Jack: I saw the Elvis/Nick show in Bridgeport CT the week before. EC said it was the first night of a new setlist and I'd say the first 20 minutes or so it showed, reinterpretations of classics, etc. But when the horn section left and it was just EC and the Imposters, they kicked butt and i really enjoyed the rest of the set.
	11:34am Bob: ↳ Squints @11:33 That was my take. It wasn't great but he was working hard. Props.
	♥ 11:34am Hoboken Jack: ↳ geokopp @11:32 Having just seen him, I'm skipping this one.
	♥ 11:34am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Listener Baby @11:33 Michael's right. NL/LS just keep getting better & better. I stuck around just so I could see EC/NL onstage together. But it took way too long to get to that point.
	11:35am ChrisB.: Elvis simply tours waaay too much. I think he’s already been in the area 3 times in the last 12 months.
	♥ 11:35am nycmusicnerd: ↳ ChrisB. @11:35 Yeah, he did 10 nights at the Gramercy a few months ago.
	11:36am GeorgeSimian: That time he played the whole Imperial Bedroom album a few years ago was amazing.
	♥ 11:37am listener phat in Lincoln: That's a really good point about sound these days.
	♥ 11:38am nycmusicnerd: I also liked the way he did Accidents Will Happen, with just the piano player. It was great.
	♥ 11:38am Hughie Considine: I remember well the Punch the Clock tour, which was perfectly brassy because the album was brassy. Great show at the Pier in NYC...ah, that was a good one.
	♥ 11:38am Hoboken Jack: ↳ geokopp @11:32 Belock will be there though
	11:38am GeorgeSimian: Yeah. The sounds wasn’t good. Same at the Capital last year.
	♥ 11:38am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Summertime Here We Come" by "Hi-Risers, The" YAY FOR THE HI-RISERS!!
	♥ 11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: I came to the conclusion that EC has kind of a limited melodic sense or range. That's fine, but if you're going to hit the same note a lot, protect that note in your range.
	♥ 11:38am Hoboken Jack: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:38 That was terrific.
	11:39am Dennis Diken: Hey, Jack!
	♥ 11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:38 See, I didn't like that at all! Lol.
	11:39am Dennis: I too will be at Nick’s show tonight in Asbury Park. Can’t wait!
	♥ 11:39am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:38 Sounds like Woof Moo will be well represented at this show. I HATE that I can't go!
	11:40am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Summertime Here We Come" by "Hi-Risers, The" ooo... might have to cover this one!
	11:40am Dennis: Heyyy, DD!
	♥ 11:40am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:39 Totally wish I could be there. I can't really hop a plane. Or can I...
	♥ 11:40am myron feld: Michael Shelley: One time when Mike Sin filled in for you, a commenter posted, "Good, no hillbilly novelty records today!" I say MORE hillbilly novelty records!
	11:40am Cooh John: Michael, Tell Eddie, John says "hi". He played (with Greg) my birthday 14 years ago.
	♥ 11:41am nycmusicnerd: One of these days I'm gonna do a road trip to Rochester just to catch the Hi-Risers.
	11:41am Cooh John: Fun fact, Ben Vaughn produced LSJ.
	♥ 11:41am Pete from Hoboken: I saw Elvis at the Beacon on Thursday and the mix was really off as Michael was saying. Waaay too much buzzy bass and muddy mids. Elvis' mid-set raps were difficult to understand...a bit disappointed overall....
	♥ 11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: Where's Clarke?!
	♥ 11:43am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:30 Thanks Frank!
	♥ 11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:39 Don't feel too bad, I'm not able to make it either.
	11:43am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Who's Gonna Feed Them Hogs?" by "Tom T. Hall" Tom T for President
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Mad Mad World" by "Escorts, The" Recalls 'Take A Message To Mary' by the Everlys ...trust me.
	♥ 11:44am Michael Shelley: ↳ Juli @11:29 He is kind of like Voldemort! :)
	11:44am Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Who's Gonna Feed Them Hogs?" by "Tom T. Hall" Played Watergate Blues on my show last Thursday Night
	♥ 11:44am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:43 Let's cry in our respective beers, Frank.
	♥ 11:44am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:40 Hop high planes in a single bound. Or make like Wadsworth Mansion and hop a freight.
	11:45am rob: More hog songs
	♥ 11:45am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @11:44 I actually just checked flights, I don't think I can get to Jersey from Omaha in time. Plus $1000+
	11:45am LesSchlepping: I left EC show on Thurs early. Was a little surprised how off it sounded. I knew i was there to see Nick, but didnt know how lopsided it would be.
	♥ 11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ LesSchlepping @11:45 Just off. A buddy of mine says EC has "gone full Dylan."
	♥ 11:46am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:45 Ouch. With a fare like that, people just think you'd flipped if you went to LA... by Omaha.
	♥ 11:46am Frank In Queens: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:44 Oof, I'll join you in spirit, but after the last two nights, gotta stay dry today!
	♥ 11:48am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 I don't drink. Those were metaphorical beers. :)
	♥ 11:48am Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:46 he's covering his reduced vocal range w/ a lot of "reinventing" melodies... and talking...
	♥ 11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:48 Yep.
	11:49am Bob: I think it's a shame someone didn't do a Rick Rubin type thing with Tom T. It would have been great to have a cheese free production of a bunch of his great songs. He was so good and most of his catalog could sound better to me
	11:51am BobPgh: DB Cooper
	♥ 11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: I don't know man. EC has a hot shit band and songs with some of the coolest and difficult arrangements in pop music and doesn't take advantage of that band being able to play those tight-ass arrangements? Instead he "reinterprets" them. Absolutely weird.
	♥ 11:51am Pete from Hoboken: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:49 you guys have hit it right on the head...
	♥ 11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: Kinda made me angry.
	♥ 11:51am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Hijacked" by "Joe Gibbs" Herbie Mann's "Hi-Jack" was a big hit for the hairy-torsoed flautist.
	♥ 11:51am Squints: Cowboy reggae. Yee haw, mon.
	♥ 11:51am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Hijacked" by "Joe Gibbs" This is very funny.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I cain't be on no hijacked plane ...I got hogs !! ...& a horn section...
	11:53am PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @11:49 Did you hear Neil Diamond's Rick Rubin album? I love Neil, just like I love Tom T, but they are who they are. You take the great with the merely good.
	♥ 11:53am Dano59: I've forgiven Dylan so many times that Costello would be easy
	11:53am SeanG: Cracker is playing in Boston tonight, forgot how much I liked "Eurotrash Girl"
	♥ 11:53am listener phat in Lincoln: It wasn't just his voice. It was his loose attention to rhythm and tempo, like he forgot how to count. And it was incoherent at times. The band couldn't follow him (not their fault).
	♥ 11:54am Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:51 Charlie Sexton played exactly 2 really interesting solos, and was otherwise mostly not audible
	11:54am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "I'm In A Dancing Mood" by "Jonathan Richman" Waiting for Jonathan's Rick Rubin thing
	♥ 11:55am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I'm In A Dancing Mood" by "Jonathan Richman" How would one explain JR to a space alien?
	♥ 11:55am listener phat in Lincoln: Maybe it was better in other cities. But the Omaha show wasn't good. Anyway. I've gone on about this with several friends. I'm a bigger Nick Lowe fan these days anyway. And HE WAS AWESOME.
	♥ 11:55am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Listener Baby @11:55 He might actually be one.
	♥ 11:55am nycmusicnerd: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:51 By contrast, NL doesn't go for anything fancy at all, just plays it straight. And it's wonderful.
	11:56am PatrickMC: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:54 Too bad. Then EC didn't really go full Dylan, because Charlie was awesome live with Bob every time I saw them
	11:56am gf2002: ↳ Squints @11:09 I'd love to see Rev Horton Heat again. I saw him April 1994 at the Paradise in Boston, Possum Dixon was the opener. One of the best, craziest, most intense live shows I've ever seen. I couldn't hear properly for several days. I was standing center stage right in front of Jim's Shure 55 mic, and Fender Twins cranked up. Taz Bentley was still the drummer. People kept sending shots up to the band, and the more they played and drank the more intense it got. Quite a few fistfights broke out in the crowd, including my friend getting punched in the head then returning the favor to a drunken idiot slam dancing. The entire floor was a sea of beer bottles by the end of the night. Possum Dixon wasn't well received by the rockabilly crowd, and after they covered "Like A Virgin" someone landed a full beer onto the guy's amp and it shorted out, so they got them off the stage. Crazy...and a terrific show. I'd see The Rev again if he comes my way.
	11:57am DG: While I can appreciate Jonathan R. at times, this sounds like something Adam Sandler would do.
	11:58am Dennis Diken: @Dennis - see you tonite at NL?
	♥ 11:59am JG: ↳ Song: "One After 909 (take 2)" by "Beatles, The" What album/collection is this 909 found? One of the BBC things? Anyone?
	11:59am Bob: ↳ PatrickMC @11:53 Yeah, and maybe I should have referenced Charlie Rich's Pictures and Paintings that Peter Guralnick executive produced. It's a masterpiece. Just Charlie doing what he really wanted to do with no crummy arrangement choices.
	♥ 11:59am Listener Baby: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:55 Thinking the same
	♥ 11:59am listener phat in Lincoln: I gotta go shop for guitar pedals but can't get up.
	♥ 12:00pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @11:56 Saw Rev. H.H. with Supersuckers many years ago in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Rev had a black eye, but the Supersuckers guitar player had two black eyes.
	12:00pm rx scabin: I remember the first time I heard J. Richman. I thought what is this and why do I like it?
	12:00pm Dennis: Yessir, DD! Really looking forward to this gig.
	12:01pm PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @11:59 Thx I will look for that!
	12:01pm Dennis: JG - Anthology Vol. 1, I believe
	♥ 12:01pm drr: ↳ DG @11:57 I like the sound of his music and usually the sentiment too; I don't like the "talk-like-I'm-brain-damaged" intro.
	♥ 12:02pm Michael Shelley: ↳ drr @12:01 lol
	♥ 12:02pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:01 I had the same thought.
	12:02pm Bob: ↳ PatrickMC @12:01 Pictures and Paintings? YES. Money back guarantee from me. It's a gem. Fantastic record. And then he died immediately afterwards. Such a drag.
	♥ 12:03pm Michael Shelley: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:55 100%
	12:03pm gf2002: ↳ JG @11:59 It's been on bootlegs for years, I had it on "Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 1" and other takes/edits are on Vol 7 I believe. They're all on YouTube now, and I think Spotify now too. The Anthology version was a different edit or something
	12:03pm DG: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:53 Have seen Elvis C. many times (since '78) & he was usually great, but the last time (at Forest Hills) was the weakest performance I've ever seen. The sound was so-so, & he couldn't quite keep up with the band at times. Maybe he was just tired (I know he had some health problems a few years ago) but it was an odd, low-energy kind of set (a lot of early stuff, w/some newer songs thrown in). This was pre-pandemic, so it's troubling to hear that he hasn't improved (or maybe just had an off night). That was the tour w/Blondie, who were great (even w/Chris Stein sitting for most of the show).
	♥ 12:04pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Heartbreaker" by "Nick Lowe" Odds are pretty good you'll hear this song tonight at Asbury Lanes.
	12:04pm PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @12:02 Not that we'd say Billy Sherrill's sides w/CR every veered towards schlock... 😉
	12:04pm BobPgh: Dion Warwick
	12:04pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Heartbreaker" by "Nick Lowe" such a great song
	♥ 12:04pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Listener Baby @11:55 "He's one of you guys."
	♥ 12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Heartbreaker" by "Nick Lowe" When great songwriters pick a great song from someone else... It's special.
	12:05pm Scott from Boston: Holy shit! That song is awesome
	12:05pm BobPgh: Bee Gees
	♥ 12:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:04 I have often suspected I was an alien.
	12:06pm ja’am: Abt that doors question, a concert I was at had the same 7/8 doors. In my case the doors opened at 7 and the band hit the stage at 8
	♥ 12:07pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "What Is Life?" by "Ventures, The" There were only a couple of fuzz boxes available back then.
	12:07pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "What Is Life?" by "Ventures, The" Calling Dr. Spector!
	♥ 12:07pm nycmusicnerd: NL has often said that he's not very prolific as a songwriter. Maybe it's wiser for him to release singles/EPs at this point. It could take forever for him to come up with an album's worth of material.
	12:07pm paul: Heartbreaker was on the Tokyo Bay / Crying Inside EP.
	12:07pm Bob: ↳ PatrickMC @12:04 Right. And I'm a super fan. I think every Charlie record has worthwhile moments. Even when the vocal group overdubs are awful. P&P has him playing his own piano, which producers even had him not doing at some point. Crazy. Check t out. Streaming for sure.
	♥ 12:08pm JG: ↳ Dennis @12:01 THanks!
	♥ 12:08pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "What Is Life?" by "Ventures, The" Probably a Tonebender.
	♥ 12:08pm Listener Baby: Everybody sounds like the Isley Brothers guy back then.
	♥ 12:08pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "What Is Life?" by "Ventures, The" i love this version!
	♥ 12:09pm GeoSinPhilly: ↳ Song: "What Is Life?" by "Ventures, The" The contrast between the fuzzed out guitar and the responding slippery country guitar is great.
	♥ 12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:08 yes!
	12:09pm Bob: Things I learned from the Leon Russell book. Leon plays the keyboard thing on the Ventures version of Telstar
	12:10pm DG: ↳ drr @12:01 Yes, exactly....nice tunes but he sometimes sounds like he's tryinig to sound dumb/child--like. I wasn't totally aware of the story behind his early, electric stuff (& why he gave it up); that Modern Lovers album (with the "darker" material) is great, even though he disavows it now. Guess he doesn't even play w/a band now, & considers electricity an evil force, or something.
	♥ 12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:08 Reading up and it might be a Fender Blender, which makes me really want one now.
	12:14pm gf2002: ↳ drr @12:00 Just recently I went looking for some video from that Spring '94 Horton Heat tour, and found a few full shows from Fall '94. The Dec '94 SF video on YouTube is close to what it felt like in Boston but not quite as crazy. The Paradise "stage" was only a foot or so off the audience floor so we were literally right there with the band. Still very cool to see the vids, good memories
	12:14pm PatrickMC: ↳ Bob @12:07 I remember going on a tour of RCA Studio B in Nashville in the 80s and the guide was demonstrating how the Nashville Sound was created, starting with Ronnie Milsap singing w/acoustic guitar. Then one by one, the guide would dial up another track - bass, drums, organ, pedal steel, strings. backing vocals, timpani, triangle,, etc. It was all i could do not to shout, stop!
	12:14pm Moammar: ↳ DG @12:10 Feel like his peak was the Rockin' and Romance album, which earnest but not cloying or affected. And it really does rock!
	12:15pm Bob: ↳ PatrickMC @12:14 Ha! I would have but I have impulse control issues
	12:17pm BobPgh: Paul's Grandfather was very clean!!!
	♥ 12:17pm drr: ↳ Moammar @12:14 I had that one; a college floormate would try and try to sing "Walter Johnson" and never succeed.
	12:17pm Greg g: As Ian McCulloch sings, “Do It Clean”
	12:18pm PatrickMC: ↳ Moammar @12:14 Jonathan Goes Country was very good a few yrs later
	12:19pm Bob Barth: The only thing wrong about a community pool... community.
	12:19pm paul: Hi. This is Gary Lewis and my dad didn't leave me anything.
	12:20pm Bob: Maybe my favorite Casuals song. I heard they're maybe playing a gig this week for Aaron? Probably no Johnny.
	♥ 12:21pm Dano59: btw Michael - the Walkabout (Australian tour) LP/CD has 6 tracks from recent-ish singles & EPs, Straitjackets covering Nick (and 'Friday on My Mind') and a live track.
	♥ 12:22pm listener phat in Lincoln: Where's Clarke?
	♥ 12:23pm DaveInVA: Last year, I got to sing a couple impromptu songs with Dave Walker (guitarist for Gary Lewis and the Playboys) for my 50th birthday celebration. He just happened to be playing a rare solo gig in the town where both he and my sister lives.
	♥ 12:23pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:20 I've Rikki post on FB and people out on the Cape are definitely tying to get something together. Might also pull a lot of old faces. I thought Johnny was in Japan recently. Don't know if or when back.
	♥ 12:23pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ DaveInVA @12:23 Nice
	♥ 12:24pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Mogambo" by "Los Tiki Phantoms" I could listen to surf-adjacent instrumentals all day long. That, and cowboy reggae.
	12:24pm DG: ↳ BobPgh @12:17 I found out recently that that line in Hard Day's Night was in in-joke. The actor who played his grandfather, Wilfred Brambell, was in a Britcom, "Steptoe & Son" (yes, the one that was Americanized into "Sanford & Son"), where he was described as a "dirty old man," as opposed to how Paul & co. referred to him.
	♥ 12:25pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Morning, Morning" by "Fifth Estate, The" Ring a ding dong, baby.
	12:26pm BobPgh: DG, Steptoe &Son is Great!!
	12:27pm Bob: ↳ Squints @12:23 I don't think Johnny will have anything to do with somebody else in the band. It's a shame. Even without Aaron that would still be one of the best rocknroll bands on the planet.
	12:27pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Morning, Morning" by "Fifth Estate, The" An unnamed subgenre was born when the Beatles were crossed with the Buckeroos.
	♥ 12:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Morning, Morning" by "Fifth Estate, The" Well shit, this is great.
	12:28pm Jett: It's called Bananamour
	♥ 12:28pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Bob @12:27 Someone posted Casuals @ Beachcomber in September...
	♥ 12:28pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:27 I don't think anyone is looking at it as a reformation or reunion. Just some friends getting together to send off their old friend.
	12:29pm Jett: You can never go wrong with this Ubangi stuff!
	12:29pm gf2002: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:13 I'm guessing the fuzz box on The Ventures' GH cover was a Mosrite FuzzRite, only because Mosrite was literally the Ventures' main gear company and endorsement in the late 60's and early 70's. If Mosrite had a new fuzz to go to market, the Ventures would use it. Harrison's could very well be a Fender Blender, but he also had one of the first Gibson Maestro Fuzztone FZ-1 pedals in the UK, as early as '63 which they tried on sessions for She Loves You and Lennon later on Don't Bother Me. And then there's the Vox ToneBender fuzz as well. Since Fender shipped all that gear to the band for Get Back/Let It Be, Harrison could have gotten a Blender from them and used it. Great tone whatever it was!
	♥ 12:29pm Squints: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:28 Yeah. That's what I'd seen. I think that was Rikki, whom I follow.
	♥ 12:30pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Foolin' Around" by "Warren Smith" This is pretty great, you betcha.
	12:30pm TimG: Jonathan now lives in my town (Chico CA) and can be seen and heard many a day strumming his guitar at Farmers Mkts etc working on new tunes. Such a treat
	12:30pm Bob: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:28 Oh cool. That's tempting. I thought it was happening tomorrow for some reason.
	12:31pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Get-E-Up (The Horse)" by "Preparations, The" Very Cool Jerk
	12:32pm LesSchlepping: Any insider info on when NL show starts? Assume 7pm is doors.
	♥ 12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ gf2002 @12:29 Does the Mosrite sound like the Tonebender? That's kind of the consensus about what George was using. I'm actually looking at pedals today and may just buy a clone of one or all of these pedals today. Lol.
	♥ 12:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Go to Sleep" by "Peggy Lee" I feel like I read about how she got this tune.
	♥ 12:35pm Hughie Considine: ↳ TimG @12:30 Too bad Peggy never tackled "Tattooed Love Boys"
	♥ 12:35pm Hughie Considine: haha, that wasn't JUST for you TimG
	♥ 12:35pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:35 Lol
	12:36pm Cooh John: Totally #1
	12:36pm TimG: Jonathan now lives in my town (Chico CA) and can be seen and heard many a day strumming his guitar at Farmers Mkts etc working on new tunes. Such a treat
	♥ 12:37pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Where Are You Tonight?" by "Hi-Risers, The" YAY for more Hi-Risers! Thanks Michael!!
	12:39pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Linda Lou" by "Traits, The" Wow this is a fast take
	♥ 12:39pm Michael Shelley: ↳ LesSchlepping @12:32 doors say 7, tickets say 8 - who knows...
	12:40pm Bob: This might be rude to say but Greg also seems to have insanely long fingers. It’s crazy watching his fretwork. I feel like I too could be a great guitar player if I didn’t have stubby little digits.
	12:41pm Bob: ↳ TimG @12:36 !!
	12:42pm gf2002: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:34 It's hard to tell, the Mosrite Fuzzrite has its own character and it's been said a good example of it was Ron Ashton with The Stooges, but Ron also used other fuzz pedals like the Vox and the Fuzzface. It would also depend on George's guitar, if he was using a Tele or Strat it would trigger the fuzz different than a Les Paul, which would drive it harder. The Fender Blender is a pretty unique tone, if you can try one out, or a clone of it, that would be the best test. I'm personally a fan of the Gibson Maestro FZ fuzz sound, and I have the silver Boss FZ-5 on my pedalboard since it clones the FZ-1, FuzzFace, and Octavia but I only use it for the FZ-1 channel to get the 60's LA studio fuzz. I'd check out an FZ-5 too
	♥ 12:42pm Squints: ↳ Bob @12:40 I noticed that during their set with Nick Lowe and Tanglewood.
	12:42pm Todd from RVA: Did you say you thought Redd Volkert had passed? I am pretty sure he lives in Galax Virginia now.
	12:43pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Reddline Fever" by "Redd Volkaert" Out-John Doeing John Doe
	12:43pm Bob: ↳ Squints @12:42 You can’t unsee it!
	♥ 12:43pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Bob @12:40 I'm no guitar player, but one thing I've noticed about Greg is that he plays hunched over. He doesn't stand up straight. My back would be killing me if I tried to play like that.
	12:43pm gf2002: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:34 There are also several clones of the FuzzRite on the market, originals are too expensive :)
	12:47pm gf2002: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:34 On the insanity of the guitar pedal market today, Fender issued a Kevin Shields signature pedal called the "Shields Blender", the retail was 500 and it's already selling for between one and two grand on the resale market. Crazy!
	♥ 12:47pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Went to Perth, Ontario last night for my second Southern Avenue show of the summer. Saw Sudan Archives on Thursday and a wild punk-folk band from Poland called Hanba! on Wednesday. (The tuba player had to stayed seated because even seated his tuba was grazing the ceiling of the basement club House of Targ.) Great week of live music, but I am truly too old to be going out three nights in a row.
	♥ 12:49pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Song: "Near You" by "Teenage Fanclub" Piano hook = #1
	♥ 12:49pm prof.fuzz: mmmm... teenage fanmotor
	12:50pm Bob: I still can’t get my head around a TF without Gerry Love.
	♥ 12:50pm egould: ↳ Song: "Near You" by "Teenage Fanclub" Now you’re just pandering to your audience, Michael. Teenage Fanclub? So obvious. :-)
	♥ 12:51pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:50 Fortunately, I'm easy that way. Carry on, MS.
	♥ 12:51pm prof.fuzz: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:34 i'm a huge mosrite fan. using a mid-fi psych byke fuzz for those tones. yummy.
	♥ 12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ gf2002 @12:47 I saw that. That's absolutely crazy. And it can't be THAT great a pedal. People fetishize everything.
	12:51pm Greg g: Howdy!
	♥ 12:51pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Near You" by "Teenage Fanclub" That really moved the rope.
	♥ 12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: You know I have the parts to build most of these pedals, if not all. I should just get offy ass and make them. Lol.
	♥ 12:52pm Squints: ↳ Song: "You're Against" by "D-Coys, The" As band names go, this is right up there with the O-ne-ders.
	♥ 12:55pm egould: Thank you for your choice of songs and the order you presented them, Michael. I keenly look forward to a similar experience next Saturday morning.
	12:55pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "We The People" by "Carl Smith" Heavy rotation
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:52 Yes! The pedal market went crazy and shows no signs of calming down. Better to home brew than pay 300+ for someone doing the same thing in some of these cases. But if someone built or can build the exact sound/tone of the Ed King "Incense And Peppermints" fuzz tone in a simple pedal, I'm all in! My Boss FZ-5 comes close, I can't afford an original Maestro like King used in '66 :)
	♥ 12:56pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you, Michael!
	12:57pm Dennis Diken: Super fine show, Mikey!
	♥ 12:57pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:56 thanks for the pedal recommendation; I'm shoppin'.
	12:58pm rx scabin: Thank you Michael and Everyone.
	♥ 12:58pm egould: Roflol!!!!
	♥ 12:58pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "Calls AAA Florida" by "Arnold Schwarzenegger" those soundboards were hilarious in the late 90s!
	♥ 12:59pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael. Enjoy the show tonight!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	1:00pm Audrey: Thank you, the show was really enjoyable!
	1:01pm Bob: Good show. Always love the conversation as well.
