WFMU: Michael Shelley: Playlist from June 1, 2024

Listener comments!
	10:44am Listener Baby: Coast to Coast, LA to Chicago. Yes, the Coast of Chicago. In all those places, Michael Shelley is king.
	11:01am Scott from Boston: My 23 and 24-year-old sons who are really into music. Don’t know why the stones are even significant.
	11:01am luka: hello ichibans. oh, this is a no. 1.
	11:01am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:02am Webhamster Henry: Hi Michael: Got any Suno Stones Covers?
	11:02am Mr. Jones: The Stones started sounding irrelevant to me with this record. 1981?
	11:02am Ciggy: What happened to the Michael Bumper 😕
	11:03am Listener Baby: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:01 Funny, because when we were all 23 years old, we knew Elvis and Chuck Berry were important.
	11:03am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning gang!
	11:03am Squints: ↳ Song: "Giddy" by "Gary Calamar" Are we SURE this isn't Garrett T Capps?
	11:04am Scott from Boston: Listener Baby…so right I talked to them both about exploring beyond their genre. Music is forever no matter what decade.
	11:04am Mr. Jones: ↳ Ciggy @11:02 They replaced Michael with an AI DJ based on his previous playlists. There is no Michael anymore.
	11:07am Listener Baby: Here’s the plan Baby. A quick CD burn of your bumpers. Stashed discreetly at FMU. It could be time.
	11:07am Dano59: just some repeated callouts to "Michael Philip Jagger!!" would have sufficed.
	11:09am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:07 I thought I had it on my thumb drive...
	11:09am Billybob: Back in the 70s, oldies were anything 10-20 years earlier. That means, now, oldies are Justin Bieber and Britney Spears. Hell, Blink 182 would be like swing music. So, for kids to even know the Rolling Stones, is pretty good.
	11:10am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:09 Damn! Dropbox is your friend too.
	11:10am Dano59: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:04 thankfully the mistakes disprove the AI fears. When automation started ruining radio 25-30 years ago, FMU took the better path (the Bunny and Night Owl bots aside)
	11:10am Squints: I'm waiting for my grandkids to ask, "Pop, how many times did Blink 182 make that record?"
	11:11am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Baby, Greg, everybody!
	11:11am Dano59: ↳ Billybob @11:09 I was sayiing that about Nirvana as an oldies act in the 2010s
	11:12am Listener Baby: Hi Jack!
	11:12am HyperDose: Jack, Greg, Baby, Squints. The crew's all here!
	11:13am Squints: ↳ HyperDose @11:12 Allllllmost. Waitin' fah......
	11:13am Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @11:07 A CD stuck to the studio wall with a pushpin for no-show DJ emergencies (one hour of music with IDs, on continuous play) fulfilled that need at RFI, until it fell behind the board one day. We didn't retrieve it for a couple years.
	11:14am Squints: ↳ Dano59 @11:13 Know the feeling. I have an OSHA sign: "___ days without losing a pick in the sound hole."
	11:14am Billybob: ↳ Dano59 @11:11 Yes. Of course, that was back when "times were simpler", kids played outdoors, and people weren't all covered in tattoos. Oh wait...
	11:14am Listener Baby: We don’t miss our water, till our well runs dry. Just sayin’
	11:15am Hoboken Jack: ↳ HyperDose @11:12 Hi perD!!
	11:16am Mr. Jones: ↳ Dano59 @11:10 There's a local commercial station in Sag Harbor that advertises on their bumpers "always local, always live" and it's true. I thought about how rare that actually is now. After the verdict 2 days ago the DJ freeformed a set of GUILTY songs (Chain Gang, Folsom Prison Blues etc.) The major syndicated stations just suck in comparison.
	11:16am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Respect Yourself" by "Don Julian and the Larks" Nod to Satisfaction in this tune. No?
	11:16am Squints: ↳ Song: "Quando Quando Quando" by "Drifters, The" This version is almost as good as The Hump's.
	11:17am Dano59: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:02 yes, '81. TY had some older tracks Mick Taylor cowrote. I would say that Undercover (83) and Dirty Work (86) completed the circle for me: their last gasp of greatness and then the one after Stu's death.
	11:17am Hoboken Jack: Stevie Jackson is the Andrew Ridgely of Belle and Sebastian
	11:17am Mr. Jones: ↳ Squints @11:16 The only Hump tune I truly love. I thinks it's song quality.
	11:17am Ciggy: ↳ Song: "Quando Quando Quando" by "Drifters, The" Quando Quando Quando No Pow! Pow! Pow!
	11:18am Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:16 WLNG? Loved picking that up when driving the kids to see Grammy in CT. Oldies, right? Although sometimes all jingles, all the time. Every jingle known to man.
	11:18am Cheryl The Nerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	11:18am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Quando Quando Quando" by "Drifters, The" Finally took initiative to solve a mystery for me. Quando is "When" in Italian. Who knew?
	11:18am Dano59: ↳ Squints @11:14 lol. I need one of those.
	11:18am Squints: Who doesn't?
	11:19am Mr. Jones: ↳ Dano59 @11:17 Yah, I did like 2 tracks on Undercover more than anything on TY. That was really the end of it for me.
	11:19am Hoboken Jack: Hola HP Ken y Cheryl de los Nerds
	11:19am Dano59: this has a real Mike Viola / Candy Butchers vibe
	11:20am Squints: ↳ Dano59 @11:19 Indeed.
	11:21am Mr. Jones: ↳ Squints @11:18 Yah, now oldies include all of Grunge though. My favorite is still the daily afternoon "Swap and Shop" where they put listeners on the air live and they give out their real phone numbers to sell an old lawnmower. That and the lost and found pets people call in.
	11:21am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Dano59 @11:19 Good call
	11:21am Squints: ↳ Dano59 @11:18 Sometimes I'm tempted to leave a bunch of picks in there and wait for someone to ask why I have such a bigass maraca.
	11:21am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:19 Jack esté Hoboken!
	11:22am Listener Baby: In 9 minutes, The Lemon Twigs take to the stage in Barcelona. My kid is there, and I’m not ashamed to say I’m jealous as F**k.
	11:22am andy fuchs: The STAX Documentary is terrific !!
	11:23am common: stax doc is great!
	11:24am Mr. Jones: Mike Love was on Fox TV selling booze in aluminum cans yesterday. He's all class!
	11:24am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:25am Ciggy: STAX Series Doc is Super
	11:25am Dano59: I think Brian would maybe have been healthier, personally (i.e. it wasn't all Murry's fault)
	11:26am Ciggy: All Cats Are Grey
	11:27am Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:21 I chide a local buddy who plays out solo a lot that when he insists he's covering Nirvana that, no, he's covering Bowie. And we always both chortle.
	11:28am Squints: ↳ Song: "Night Time" by "Cats, The" I love falsettos that aren't really quite there. (I mean, he's hitting the notes.) There's a genuineness.
	11:29am bobobobob palindrome plasticland: more bee gees than Beatles
	11:31am Webhamster Henry: You just said the secret word! Tower Records Annex!
	11:32am Dano59: orange guy didn't have to deny it -- but then again ... liars gonna lie
	11:32am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	11:32am Squints: ↳ Song: "She Just Wrote Me From Atlanta" by "Nat Stuckey" What he's reading is the danged letter.
	11:32am Dano59: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:31 I know I hit the big Tower store on Broadway a couple times when in the city. Timeframe on the annex/bookstore?
	11:33am Ciggy: ↳ Song: "She Just Wrote Me From Atlanta" by "Nat Stuckey" Speaking of Cheating.. STAX doc features Johnny Taylor on "Who's Making Love"
	11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:32 The fuZZZZmobile survived the tour, I trust?
	11:33am egould: Kisses on the bottom…
	11:34am prof.fuzz: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:33 gonna need some new tires so we can do it again!
	11:34am Ciggy: *Johnnie
	11:34am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:32 Mornin' FuZZZ
	11:38am Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:32 Howdy Prof
	11:40am P-90: Freddy’s guitar tones are always choice
	11:45am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:34 I was thinking about driving down to the Hoboken show, but something came up that evening.
	11:46am prof.fuzz: mornin' cheryl! howdy jack! we'll catch ya next year, ken!
	11:46am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "My Man Rich" by "Biz Markie" We're cruisin' the airwaves with the top down 😎
	11:47am PKNY: ↳ Song: "My Man Rich" by "Biz Markie" Nobody beats the Biz!
	11:47am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "My Man Rich" by "Biz Markie" I LIKE THIS!
	11:48am Cooh John: Good afternoon Michael and #1ers.
	11:49am Re6ecca: Took my son to see Biz 14 years ago with Yo Gabba Gabba kids show in NYC!!!! Love him!!!
	11:49am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "My Man Rich" by "Biz Markie" Do we know the sample?
	11:49am Mr. Jones: Michael Shelley, nice flow with no AI bumpers. Just sayin'
	11:51am Dano59: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:49 thought i heard one..
	11:51am drr: ↳ Listener Baby @11:49 I had the same question. "Way Back Home", The Jazz Crusaders.
	11:51am Michael Shelley: www.youtube.com...
	11:53am Dano59: one minute you're consulting AI, the next you're eating rocks
	11:54am drr: ↳ drr @11:51 With Wilton Felder, the guy who played that amazing bass line on "I Want You Back".
	11:54am Hoboken Jack: In fairness, most of us commenters are AI creations.
	11:55am HyperDose: ↳ Re6ecca @11:49 That show had such great musical guests! Aquabats, Jimmy Eat World, Jem, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, the list goes on...
	11:55am Dano59: I like to do this one (in a medley with 'Let It Be' and 'I'm Going Down') after people request 'Wagon Wheel'. that'll teach 'em
	11:55am Ciggy: ↳ Song: "Another Girl, Another Planet" by "Only Ones, The" This is a Super Duper Classic. A PIX Penthouse Pop 🎉
	11:56am Mr. Jones: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:54 Are you saying I sound "intelligent?" <3 <3 <3
	11:56am pgalub: Hey Michael, JAAAAACK, and everyone. Peter Perret forever!
	11:57am jmd: Always makes me think it's The Soft Boys
	11:57am P-90: a Number One Two Drum Hit
	11:58am James in ATL: Really enjoying the show today. The Stax documentary is great! Also, looking forward to Terry Adams next week!
	11:58am Listener Baby: ↳ drr @11:51 Thanks!
	11:59am Hoboken Jack: ↳ pgalub @11:56 PEEEEEEETE!! (Galub not Perret)
	12:00pm Dano59: missed it by THAT much
	12:01pm luka: good laundry foldin tunes (mostly WFMU shirts, turns out)
	12:03pm Michael Shelley: ↳ luka @12:01 Agree - always need something playing when I'm foldin'
	12:09pm Listener Baby: ↳ drr @11:54 But amazingly, he did not play Bass in his own band.
	12:10pm Re6ecca: ↳ HyperDose @11:55 I was so happy my son could learn great music through it! Now he’s 15, an avid listener to WFMU and has amazing taste in music! So far he’s seen live The Magnetic Fields, Aluminum Group, Dump, Juniper, Belle and Sebastian, Jonathan Richman, Big Blood, Indigo Desouza and soon Camera Obscura!
	12:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP, Doug Ingle, last surviving member of Iron Butterfly’s 1967–1969 lineup.
	12:13pm biomurph: Hey, how about some Rosie Ladet to kick this up a knotch?
	12:14pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Little Miss Love" by "Jeb Stuart" I have a deep weakness for songs like this.
	12:15pm clarke: hey nowwww
	12:15pm San Pedro Girl: Greetings Michael and all
	12:16pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ clarke @12:15 Hiya Clarke
	12:16pm HyperDose: ↳ Re6ecca @12:10 Juniper live would be pretty cool. I'd really like to catch a Beach Bunny or Skating Polly show one day
	12:17pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:15 ....NOW we are seven. heya, theah, clahke. Congrats of LSU win yesterday. Sorry it's an inconvenient regional.
	12:17pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Do It Again" by "Bacarrudas, The" "I can't pronounce baccaruda." One of my all-time favorite radio commercials.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:16 heya....yawwwn... was up very late last evening
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:17 it was a GREAT game, theyah. luckily!
	12:22pm clarke: Listener Baby -- i bet!!!
	12:23pm clarke: i'm an administrative professional. of rock and roll.
	12:23pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:23 i administer the professing of fuzz
	12:23pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "And She's Mine" by "Spanky And Our Gang" Melba very under appreciated.
	12:24pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - and verily so!!
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:23 so was her toast.
	12:24pm Squints: Wasn't she one, maybe even the first, of George Jones's duet partners?
	12:25pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:24 Don't even get started on the peaches. <light bulb moment> She should have duetted with PEACHES.
	12:26pm Listener Baby: ↳ Squints @12:24 Yes. First. But found George success with TW.
	12:27pm Squints: The early Gladys records on Motown are just nutso great. I like Marvin Gaye's "Grapevine" a lot. But Gladys's is the one. Just about just about....
	12:27pm GeoSinPhilly: ↳ Song: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by "Gladys Knight And Th... Better even than "The Rare Earth."
	12:28pm Squints: ↳ GeoSinPhilly @12:27 Heh. Like "The Pink Floyd."
	12:29pm DG: Wait, so who did that country-flavored "secretary" song?
	12:30pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by "Gladys Knight And Th... I never really understood why some songs have part of the title in parentheses. I like the way it looks, tho.
	12:30pm Michael Shelley: ↳ DG @12:29 corrected - thanks!
	12:30pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Fool Too Long" by "Rockpile" Oh HELL YEAH!!!
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:25 or RL Burnside.
	12:32pm DG: Don't know Ms. Montgomery, will look her up. Also, I thought that guy who wrote thousands of songs was the same guy who's now posted an incredible amount of dirty/sex-related (in a really childish way) songs on YouTube in various styles, using AI I assume. Maybe it's another guy.
	12:32pm clarke: @Squints - eraah, it is eraaaah, now the season up theyahhhh.
	12:33pm Squints: My only gripe with the Billy Bremner drop is that I always want to hear all of "Heart."
	12:33pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Melba Montgomery" I guess Harper Valley PTA was more influential than I originally thought.
	12:34pm clarke: speaking of Billy Bremner - i believe The Value Leaders are releasing some of the live performances when they backed up Bremner in japan a few years ago.
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Squints @12:33 AGREE!
	12:34pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:32 Just about just about. I'm in shorts, anyhow.
	12:34pm LiXiviated Life: Hi ya Mike
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: ↳ LiXiviated Life @12:34 Hi Yo!
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:34 TMI!!!!!
	12:34pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ clarke @12:19 Clarke! You have electricity today?
	12:35pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:34 Oh, wow. Look at the moon.
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:34 they have decided to give us some electricity AND internet, today. whoo hoo. yee haw.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:35 POW!!!!
	12:36pm Billybob: ↳ DG @12:32 I've heard those! Despite the NSFW lyrics, the songs aren't bad.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Hello L.A., Bye Bye Birmingham" by "Alex Harvey" YES! HELL YES.
	12:36pm Cheryl The Nerd: @Michael: 2 weeks ago at the WFMU music sale, there was a CD copy of the Wilderness Years in one of the bins.
	12:37pm common: ↳ Song: "Hello L.A., Bye Bye Birmingham" by "Alex Harvey" wow! the ultimate quittin my job goin to l.a. with jean jacket over my shoulder song
	12:38pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hey all!
	12:38pm clarke: WHY good day, sir!
	12:38pm clarke: us late risers gotta stick together!!
	12:39pm egould: ↳ Song: "Too In Love" by "Hank Thompson" Love his voice. Hillbilly Sinatra.
	12:39pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Too In Love" by "Hank Thompson" The list of people you’ve talked to, is too long to list. Documents for the ages, Baby.
	12:40pm clarke: the microphone loved hank's voice.
	12:40pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:38 I was taking a nap. Lol. I got to bed late and up early this morning. Glad I made it.
	12:40pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:39 Ooh. Appropriating that description for future use. Correctly footnoted, of course.
	12:40pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Too In Love" by "Hank Thompson" If you ever wonder what Capitol Records Recording Studio sounds like. There you have it.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:40 i have a similar story - am sticking to it!!!
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:40 yup - and the TE Ford records...
	12:41pm bobobobob plasticland: You got lucky. my dad was a fan .my dad was warranty mgr on his tour bus ..that broke down..talked to him on the phone..said he was an asshole. you got lucky
	12:41pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:40 Yes.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:40 the year of Footnotes is ovah - ask FuZZZZ
	12:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "It's A Man Down There" by "Junior Wells" Is this the original? I don't think I've heard it
	12:42pm Mailman Tom: ↳ Song: "It's A Man Down There" by "Junior Wells" I saw Junior Wells and Buddy Guy play at a small club in Westport, CT back in the 1970s!
	12:42pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "It's A Man Down There" by "Junior Wells" Can you say, Locked In?
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:42 you can say it, but you need to PLAY it.
	12:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Ultimatum" by "Televisionaires" This is really good
	12:44pm Feldy: Loving the show as I do yard work; Nice Guy and Too in Love are gems!
	12:44pm clarke: Tripwires are like some live bootleg of early Pharmacist shows.
	12:45pm thurston howl: ↳ Song: "It's A Man Down There" by "Junior Wells" Why was it "One way out" for the Allman Bros'?
	12:45pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:36 oh man! Did you pick it up (for 1$!!!)?
	12:46pm clarke: was no brothers at the time - just greg
	12:46pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Feldy @12:44 Perfect day for it!
	12:46pm James in ATL: The Lemon Twigs give me hope. So great to hear young guys make this awesome music.
	12:46pm egould: ↳ Song: "My Golden Years" by "Lemon Twigs, The" Number oneyest of number one hits.
	12:47pm DG: I have The Wilderness Years too (only an import), probably found it at a used CD place in the Village....and Lowe signed it for me when I saw him at the Wetlands (now gone, like almost all those record/CD shops).
	12:47pm drr: ↳ Song: "My Golden Years" by "Lemon Twigs, The" treats for your ears...it's as simple as that.
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:42 I think its CL Crockett's tune - but what do I know
	12:47pm clarke: A to B.
	12:48pm DG: I'm getting a bit of an Eric Carmen vibe from this Twigs song.
	12:48pm drr: ↳ drr @12:47 the title tune from this record ("A Dream Is All I Know") isn't one of the singles but it's the best one on there.
	12:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: I've gotten way more contrary as I've gotten older. Also, I REALLY loved and missed smoking.
	12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:50 Miss it. I really miss it.
	12:51pm clarke: Segaaaah!!!!!
	12:51pm egould: Summer of Seger!
	12:52pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:47 Fred just drives...
	12:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Chain Smokin'" by "Bob Seger And The Last Heard" Smokin' OPs
	12:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ egould @12:51 Second Summer of Seger
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:52 he doesn't do much else.
	12:53pm G: Boob Cigar, they used to call him meanly behind his back (he came in sometimes), in the Ann Arbor Music Mart, where my college roommate was the “repack king.”
	12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: Glad I woke up a bit to catch some of the show.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ G @12:53 i considered this pronunciation, as well.
	12:54pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Seven Nights To Rock" by "Moon Mullican" I still claim that the Cowboy Outfit's version of this is definitive.
	12:54pm Listener Baby: ↳ drr @12:48 Was first single off that LP.
	12:55pm egould: ↳ Song: "Seven Nights To Rock" by "Moon Mullican" Right when rock n roll was invented. Sounds so good.
	12:55pm johnk77: my favorite live band covering 7nights bill kirchen's moonliters
	12:55pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Movie theaters didn’t allow smoking because it made the screen dirty. I never started because why spend the money?
	12:56pm Mare: Keep it going … great rock n rollin’
	12:56pm James in ATL: Really a great show. Thank you Micheal!
	12:56pm DG: This track is part of Seger's "Complete Cameo Recordings" that ABKCO (!) put out a few years ago (short, EP-length).Has 10 early tracks, you can hear him trying out various sounds....but "Ballad of the Yellow Beret" isn't one (probably for legal reasons).
	12:56pm drr: ↳ Listener Baby @12:54 It was? I thought "My Golden Years" was. OK, then.
	12:56pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Respect (alternate take)" by "Otis Redding" G. G. Y!
	12:57pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Respect (alternate take)" by "Otis Redding" Featuring some drummers today, Baby. Props!
	12:57pm paul: ↳ Song: "Respect (alternate take)" by "Otis Redding" Watch the new Stax documentary!
	12:58pm Squints: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @12:55 Same reason I never did drugs. That was my record spendin' money.
	12:58pm Listener Baby: ↳ drr @12:56 Yes. I thought that’s the song you meant? My bad. You meant a Dream is All I know?
	12:58pm clarke: wellll, Flintstone... you've really done it NOW!!!!
	12:58pm egould: Thanks Michael. You did a very good job, and should be proud of yourself.
	12:58pm Matty from Brooklyn: I lived in Atlanta for almost the entirety of the 90's. There's place called the Star Bar in Little 5 Points that would have great rockabilly shows every weekend. There was a great local called Blacktop Rockets that covered 7 Nights to Rock very well. Brought me back to my 20's. Thanks.
	12:59pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Caravan Ride" by "Tex Williams" Hot damn
	12:59pm drr: ↳ Listener Baby @12:58 I did. I wake up most mornings with some Lemon Twigs or other already playing in my head and it's usually that one.
	12:59pm Listener Baby: ↳ drr @12:48 Misread your post. Apologies.
	12:59pm drr: ↳ drr @12:59 I still think Back To School is their best record, though.
	12:59pm DG: 1. Yes, Lowe's version ROCKS, & is faster & wilder. Saw a video of Springsteen doing it live & it's way too slow. 2. Have been watching the STAX doc. series, & am up to Redding's funeral....depressing, but plan to see the rest of it. David Porter, whose name I know but haven't seen before, is informative & funny.
	1:00pm KWilde: Thanks MS!
	1:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ drr @12:59 Love that one too.
	1:00pm clarke: thank yew. good nite.

Listener comments!
	10:44am Listener Baby: Coast to Coast, LA to Chicago. Yes, the Coast of Chicago. In all those places, Michael Shelley is king.
	11:01am Scott from Boston: My 23 and 24-year-old sons who are really into music. Don’t know why the stones are even significant.
	11:01am luka: hello ichibans. oh, this is a no. 1.
	11:01am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now.
	11:02am Webhamster Henry: Hi Michael: Got any Suno Stones Covers?
	11:02am Mr. Jones: The Stones started sounding irrelevant to me with this record. 1981?
	11:02am Ciggy: What happened to the Michael Bumper 😕
	11:03am Listener Baby: ↳ Scott from Boston @11:01 Funny, because when we were all 23 years old, we knew Elvis and Chuck Berry were important.
	11:03am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning gang!
	11:03am Squints: ↳ Song: "Giddy" by "Gary Calamar" Are we SURE this isn't Garrett T Capps?
	11:04am Scott from Boston: Listener Baby…so right I talked to them both about exploring beyond their genre. Music is forever no matter what decade.
	11:04am Mr. Jones: ↳ Ciggy @11:02 They replaced Michael with an AI DJ based on his previous playlists. There is no Michael anymore.
	11:07am Listener Baby: Here’s the plan Baby. A quick CD burn of your bumpers. Stashed discreetly at FMU. It could be time.
	11:07am Dano59: just some repeated callouts to "Michael Philip Jagger!!" would have sufficed.
	11:09am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:07 I thought I had it on my thumb drive...
	11:09am Billybob: Back in the 70s, oldies were anything 10-20 years earlier. That means, now, oldies are Justin Bieber and Britney Spears. Hell, Blink 182 would be like swing music. So, for kids to even know the Rolling Stones, is pretty good.
	11:10am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:09 Damn! Dropbox is your friend too.
	11:10am Dano59: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:04 thankfully the mistakes disprove the AI fears. When automation started ruining radio 25-30 years ago, FMU took the better path (the Bunny and Night Owl bots aside)
	11:10am Squints: I'm waiting for my grandkids to ask, "Pop, how many times did Blink 182 make that record?"
	11:11am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Baby, Greg, everybody!
	11:11am Dano59: ↳ Billybob @11:09 I was sayiing that about Nirvana as an oldies act in the 2010s
	11:12am Listener Baby: Hi Jack!
	11:12am HyperDose: Jack, Greg, Baby, Squints. The crew's all here!
	11:13am Squints: ↳ HyperDose @11:12 Allllllmost. Waitin' fah......
	11:13am Dano59: ↳ Listener Baby @11:07 A CD stuck to the studio wall with a pushpin for no-show DJ emergencies (one hour of music with IDs, on continuous play) fulfilled that need at RFI, until it fell behind the board one day. We didn't retrieve it for a couple years.
	11:14am Squints: ↳ Dano59 @11:13 Know the feeling. I have an OSHA sign: "___ days without losing a pick in the sound hole."
	11:14am Billybob: ↳ Dano59 @11:11 Yes. Of course, that was back when "times were simpler", kids played outdoors, and people weren't all covered in tattoos. Oh wait...
	11:14am Listener Baby: We don’t miss our water, till our well runs dry. Just sayin’
	11:15am Hoboken Jack: ↳ HyperDose @11:12 Hi perD!!
	11:16am Mr. Jones: ↳ Dano59 @11:10 There's a local commercial station in Sag Harbor that advertises on their bumpers "always local, always live" and it's true. I thought about how rare that actually is now. After the verdict 2 days ago the DJ freeformed a set of GUILTY songs (Chain Gang, Folsom Prison Blues etc.) The major syndicated stations just suck in comparison.
	11:16am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Respect Yourself" by "Don Julian and the Larks" Nod to Satisfaction in this tune. No?
	11:16am Squints: ↳ Song: "Quando Quando Quando" by "Drifters, The" This version is almost as good as The Hump's.
	11:17am Dano59: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:02 yes, '81. TY had some older tracks Mick Taylor cowrote. I would say that Undercover (83) and Dirty Work (86) completed the circle for me: their last gasp of greatness and then the one after Stu's death.
	11:17am Hoboken Jack: Stevie Jackson is the Andrew Ridgely of Belle and Sebastian
	11:17am Mr. Jones: ↳ Squints @11:16 The only Hump tune I truly love. I thinks it's song quality.
	11:17am Ciggy: ↳ Song: "Quando Quando Quando" by "Drifters, The" Quando Quando Quando No Pow! Pow! Pow!
	11:18am Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:16 WLNG? Loved picking that up when driving the kids to see Grammy in CT. Oldies, right? Although sometimes all jingles, all the time. Every jingle known to man.
	11:18am Cheryl The Nerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	11:18am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Quando Quando Quando" by "Drifters, The" Finally took initiative to solve a mystery for me. Quando is "When" in Italian. Who knew?
	11:18am Dano59: ↳ Squints @11:14 lol. I need one of those.
	11:18am Squints: Who doesn't?
	11:19am Mr. Jones: ↳ Dano59 @11:17 Yah, I did like 2 tracks on Undercover more than anything on TY. That was really the end of it for me.
	11:19am Hoboken Jack: Hola HP Ken y Cheryl de los Nerds
	11:19am Dano59: this has a real Mike Viola / Candy Butchers vibe
	11:20am Squints: ↳ Dano59 @11:19 Indeed.
	11:21am Mr. Jones: ↳ Squints @11:18 Yah, now oldies include all of Grunge though. My favorite is still the daily afternoon "Swap and Shop" where they put listeners on the air live and they give out their real phone numbers to sell an old lawnmower. That and the lost and found pets people call in.
	11:21am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Dano59 @11:19 Good call
	11:21am Squints: ↳ Dano59 @11:18 Sometimes I'm tempted to leave a bunch of picks in there and wait for someone to ask why I have such a bigass maraca.
	11:21am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:19 Jack esté Hoboken!
	11:22am Listener Baby: In 9 minutes, The Lemon Twigs take to the stage in Barcelona. My kid is there, and I’m not ashamed to say I’m jealous as F**k.
	11:22am andy fuchs: The STAX Documentary is terrific !!
	11:23am common: stax doc is great!
	11:24am Mr. Jones: Mike Love was on Fox TV selling booze in aluminum cans yesterday. He's all class!
	11:24am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:25am Ciggy: STAX Series Doc is Super
	11:25am Dano59: I think Brian would maybe have been healthier, personally (i.e. it wasn't all Murry's fault)
	11:26am Ciggy: All Cats Are Grey
	11:27am Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:21 I chide a local buddy who plays out solo a lot that when he insists he's covering Nirvana that, no, he's covering Bowie. And we always both chortle.
	11:28am Squints: ↳ Song: "Night Time" by "Cats, The" I love falsettos that aren't really quite there. (I mean, he's hitting the notes.) There's a genuineness.
	11:29am bobobobob palindrome plasticland: more bee gees than Beatles
	11:31am Webhamster Henry: You just said the secret word! Tower Records Annex!
	11:32am Dano59: orange guy didn't have to deny it -- but then again ... liars gonna lie
	11:32am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	11:32am Squints: ↳ Song: "She Just Wrote Me From Atlanta" by "Nat Stuckey" What he's reading is the danged letter.
	11:32am Dano59: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:31 I know I hit the big Tower store on Broadway a couple times when in the city. Timeframe on the annex/bookstore?
	11:33am Ciggy: ↳ Song: "She Just Wrote Me From Atlanta" by "Nat Stuckey" Speaking of Cheating.. STAX doc features Johnny Taylor on "Who's Making Love"
	11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:32 The fuZZZZmobile survived the tour, I trust?
	11:33am egould: Kisses on the bottom…
	11:34am prof.fuzz: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:33 gonna need some new tires so we can do it again!
	11:34am Ciggy: *Johnnie
	11:34am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:32 Mornin' FuZZZ
	11:38am Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:32 Howdy Prof
	11:40am P-90: Freddy’s guitar tones are always choice
	11:45am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:34 I was thinking about driving down to the Hoboken show, but something came up that evening.
	11:46am prof.fuzz: mornin' cheryl! howdy jack! we'll catch ya next year, ken!
	11:46am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "My Man Rich" by "Biz Markie" We're cruisin' the airwaves with the top down 😎
	11:47am PKNY: ↳ Song: "My Man Rich" by "Biz Markie" Nobody beats the Biz!
	11:47am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "My Man Rich" by "Biz Markie" I LIKE THIS!
	11:48am Cooh John: Good afternoon Michael and #1ers.
	11:49am Re6ecca: Took my son to see Biz 14 years ago with Yo Gabba Gabba kids show in NYC!!!! Love him!!!
	11:49am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "My Man Rich" by "Biz Markie" Do we know the sample?
	11:49am Mr. Jones: Michael Shelley, nice flow with no AI bumpers. Just sayin'
	11:51am Dano59: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:49 thought i heard one..
	11:51am drr: ↳ Listener Baby @11:49 I had the same question. "Way Back Home", The Jazz Crusaders.
	11:51am Michael Shelley: www.youtube.com...
	11:53am Dano59: one minute you're consulting AI, the next you're eating rocks
	11:54am drr: ↳ drr @11:51 With Wilton Felder, the guy who played that amazing bass line on "I Want You Back".
	11:54am Hoboken Jack: In fairness, most of us commenters are AI creations.
	11:55am HyperDose: ↳ Re6ecca @11:49 That show had such great musical guests! Aquabats, Jimmy Eat World, Jem, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, the list goes on...
	11:55am Dano59: I like to do this one (in a medley with 'Let It Be' and 'I'm Going Down') after people request 'Wagon Wheel'. that'll teach 'em
	11:55am Ciggy: ↳ Song: "Another Girl, Another Planet" by "Only Ones, The" This is a Super Duper Classic. A PIX Penthouse Pop 🎉

	12:03pm Michael Shelley: ↳ luka @12:01 Agree - always need something playing when I'm foldin'
	12:09pm Listener Baby: ↳ drr @11:54 But amazingly, he did not play Bass in his own band.
	12:10pm Re6ecca: ↳ HyperDose @11:55 I was so happy my son could learn great music through it! Now he’s 15, an avid listener to WFMU and has amazing taste in music! So far he’s seen live The Magnetic Fields, Aluminum Group, Dump, Juniper, Belle and Sebastian, Jonathan Richman, Big Blood, Indigo Desouza and soon Camera Obscura!
	12:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP, Doug Ingle, last surviving member of Iron Butterfly’s 1967–1969 lineup.
	12:13pm biomurph: Hey, how about some Rosie Ladet to kick this up a knotch?

	12:16pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ clarke @12:15 Hiya Clarke

	12:17pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Do It Again" by "Bacarrudas, The" "I can't pronounce baccaruda." One of my all-time favorite radio commercials.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:16 heya....yawwwn... was up very late last evening
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:17 it was a GREAT game, theyah. luckily!

	12:23pm clarke: i'm an administrative professional. of rock and roll.
	12:23pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:23 i administer the professing of fuzz
	12:23pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "And She's Mine" by "Spanky And Our Gang" Melba very under appreciated.
	12:24pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - and verily so!!
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:23 so was her toast.
	12:24pm Squints: Wasn't she one, maybe even the first, of George Jones's duet partners?
	12:25pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:24 Don't even get started on the peaches. <light bulb moment> She should have duetted with PEACHES.
	12:26pm Listener Baby: ↳ Squints @12:24 Yes. First. But found George success with TW.
	12:27pm Squints: The early Gladys records on Motown are just nutso great. I like Marvin Gaye's "Grapevine" a lot. But Gladys's is the one. Just about just about....
	12:27pm GeoSinPhilly: ↳ Song: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by "Gladys Knight And Th... Better even than "The Rare Earth."
	12:28pm Squints: ↳ GeoSinPhilly @12:27 Heh. Like "The Pink Floyd."
	12:29pm DG: Wait, so who did that country-flavored "secretary" song?
	12:30pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by "Gladys Knight And Th... I never really understood why some songs have part of the title in parentheses. I like the way it looks, tho.
	12:30pm Michael Shelley: ↳ DG @12:29 corrected - thanks!
	12:30pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Fool Too Long" by "Rockpile" Oh HELL YEAH!!!
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:25 or RL Burnside.
	12:32pm DG: Don't know Ms. Montgomery, will look her up. Also, I thought that guy who wrote thousands of songs was the same guy who's now posted an incredible amount of dirty/sex-related (in a really childish way) songs on YouTube in various styles, using AI I assume. Maybe it's another guy.
	12:32pm clarke: @Squints - eraah, it is eraaaah, now the season up theyahhhh.
	12:33pm Squints: My only gripe with the Billy Bremner drop is that I always want to hear all of "Heart."
	12:33pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "Mr. Walker, It’s All Over" by "Melba Montgomery" I guess Harper Valley PTA was more influential than I originally thought.
	12:34pm clarke: speaking of Billy Bremner - i believe The Value Leaders are releasing some of the live performances when they backed up Bremner in japan a few years ago.
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Squints @12:33 AGREE!
	12:34pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:32 Just about just about. I'm in shorts, anyhow.

	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Hello L.A., Bye Bye Birmingham" by "Alex Harvey" YES! HELL YES.
	12:36pm Cheryl The Nerd: @Michael: 2 weeks ago at the WFMU music sale, there was a CD copy of the Wilderness Years in one of the bins.

	12:40pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:39 Ooh. Appropriating that description for future use. Correctly footnoted, of course.
	12:40pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Too In Love" by "Hank Thompson" If you ever wonder what Capitol Records Recording Studio sounds like. There you have it.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:40 i have a similar story - am sticking to it!!!
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:40 yup - and the TE Ford records...
	12:41pm bobobobob plasticland: You got lucky. my dad was a fan .my dad was warranty mgr on his tour bus ..that broke down..talked to him on the phone..said he was an asshole. you got lucky
	12:41pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:40 Yes.

	12:42pm Mailman Tom: ↳ Song: "It's A Man Down There" by "Junior Wells" I saw Junior Wells and Buddy Guy play at a small club in Westport, CT back in the 1970s!
	12:42pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "It's A Man Down There" by "Junior Wells" Can you say, Locked In?
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:42 you can say it, but you need to PLAY it.
	12:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Ultimatum" by "Televisionaires" This is really good
	12:44pm Feldy: Loving the show as I do yard work; Nice Guy and Too in Love are gems!
	12:44pm clarke: Tripwires are like some live bootleg of early Pharmacist shows.
	12:45pm thurston howl: ↳ Song: "It's A Man Down There" by "Junior Wells" Why was it "One way out" for the Allman Bros'?
	12:45pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:36 oh man! Did you pick it up (for 1$!!!)?
	12:46pm clarke: was no brothers at the time - just greg
	12:46pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Feldy @12:44 Perfect day for it!
	12:46pm James in ATL: The Lemon Twigs give me hope. So great to hear young guys make this awesome music.
	12:46pm egould: ↳ Song: "My Golden Years" by "Lemon Twigs, The" Number oneyest of number one hits.
	12:47pm DG: I have The Wilderness Years too (only an import), probably found it at a used CD place in the Village....and Lowe signed it for me when I saw him at the Wetlands (now gone, like almost all those record/CD shops).
	12:47pm drr: ↳ Song: "My Golden Years" by "Lemon Twigs, The" treats for your ears...it's as simple as that.
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:42 I think its CL Crockett's tune - but what do I know
	12:47pm clarke: A to B.
	12:48pm DG: I'm getting a bit of an Eric Carmen vibe from this Twigs song.
	12:48pm drr: ↳ drr @12:47 the title tune from this record ("A Dream Is All I Know") isn't one of the singles but it's the best one on there.
	12:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: I've gotten way more contrary as I've gotten older. Also, I REALLY loved and missed smoking.
	12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:50 Miss it. I really miss it.
	12:51pm clarke: Segaaaah!!!!!

	12:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ egould @12:51 Second Summer of Seger
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:52 he doesn't do much else.
	12:53pm G: Boob Cigar, they used to call him meanly behind his back (he came in sometimes), in the Ann Arbor Music Mart, where my college roommate was the “repack king.”
	12:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: Glad I woke up a bit to catch some of the show.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ G @12:53 i considered this pronunciation, as well.
	12:54pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Seven Nights To Rock" by "Moon Mullican" I still claim that the Cowboy Outfit's version of this is definitive.
	12:54pm Listener Baby: ↳ drr @12:48 Was first single off that LP.
	12:55pm egould: ↳ Song: "Seven Nights To Rock" by "Moon Mullican" Right when rock n roll was invented. Sounds so good.
	12:55pm johnk77: my favorite live band covering 7nights bill kirchen's moonliters
	12:55pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Movie theaters didn’t allow smoking because it made the screen dirty. I never started because why spend the money?
	12:56pm Mare: Keep it going … great rock n rollin’
	12:56pm James in ATL: Really a great show. Thank you Micheal!
	12:56pm DG: This track is part of Seger's "Complete Cameo Recordings" that ABKCO (!) put out a few years ago (short, EP-length).Has 10 early tracks, you can hear him trying out various sounds....but "Ballad of the Yellow Beret" isn't one (probably for legal reasons).
	12:56pm drr: ↳ Listener Baby @12:54 It was? I thought "My Golden Years" was. OK, then.
	12:56pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Respect (alternate take)" by "Otis Redding" G. G. Y!
	12:57pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Respect (alternate take)" by "Otis Redding" Featuring some drummers today, Baby. Props!
	12:57pm paul: ↳ Song: "Respect (alternate take)" by "Otis Redding" Watch the new Stax documentary!
	12:58pm Squints: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @12:55 Same reason I never did drugs. That was my record spendin' money.
	12:58pm Listener Baby: ↳ drr @12:56 Yes. I thought that’s the song you meant? My bad. You meant a Dream is All I know?
	12:58pm clarke: wellll, Flintstone... you've really done it NOW!!!!
	12:58pm egould: Thanks Michael. You did a very good job, and should be proud of yourself.
	12:58pm Matty from Brooklyn: I lived in Atlanta for almost the entirety of the 90's. There's place called the Star Bar in Little 5 Points that would have great rockabilly shows every weekend. There was a great local called Blacktop Rockets that covered 7 Nights to Rock very well. Brought me back to my 20's. Thanks.
	12:59pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Caravan Ride" by "Tex Williams" Hot damn
	12:59pm drr: ↳ Listener Baby @12:58 I did. I wake up most mornings with some Lemon Twigs or other already playing in my head and it's usually that one.
	12:59pm Listener Baby: ↳ drr @12:48 Misread your post. Apologies.
	12:59pm drr: ↳ drr @12:59 I still think Back To School is their best record, though.
	12:59pm DG: 1. Yes, Lowe's version ROCKS, & is faster & wilder. Saw a video of Springsteen doing it live & it's way too slow. 2. Have been watching the STAX doc. series, & am up to Redding's funeral....depressing, but plan to see the rest of it. David Porter, whose name I know but haven't seen before, is informative & funny.
	1:00pm KWilde: Thanks MS!
	1:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ drr @12:59 Love that one too.
	1:00pm clarke: thank yew. good nite.
