Listener comments!

  Sat. 10/10/09 3:10pm Jumpy:

I was just trying to explain the Vacant Lot to a couple of friends this week. I hope they're listening.
  Sat. 10/10/09 3:15pm Laurie:

Oh, I love those Yellow Pills comps.

And I have that Bomp comp! Bomp! comp. Whatever!
  Sat. 10/10/09 3:21pm Laurie:

omg, "when I'm with you I get an extension. and I don't mean Alexander Graham Bell's invention." That's wrong.
  Sat. 10/10/09 3:46pm chris:

More scratchy Nick Lowe!!! I think we have very similar collections. Great fill in!
  Sat. 10/10/09 3:48pm jahna:

I agree totally that Nick Lowe is AWESOME rock.
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:00pm Tom:

The Elevators are going show, right?
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:09pm ?:

I prefer the Royal Purple's amazing version of 'I can't xplain this feeling'! Thanx for playing the original! Great show so far!!
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:28pm Jumpy:

HANG IT OUT TO DRY started out as ts own seperate life as an LP.
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:30pm frenchee:

I also prefer the Royal Purple version anonymous poster!
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:31pm frenchee:

Hey Jumpy!
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:34pm Topkat:

this is a heads up if ya don't already know, the Stems have called it quits and are in the midst of an Aussie farewell tour.
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:37pm Jumpy:

Howdy, frenchee!
Mike, I have "Green Light" by American Breed. I think they done did it first.
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:38pm Jumpy:

It's true about the Stems but Dom and all of the them have their own bands.
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:42pm Topkat:

yeah Jumpy, but they're another outfit I never got to see live. My Aussie friends are traveling about the country to see the last performances.
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:45pm Gerjan from Holland:

This shit is fuckin great!
  Sat. 10/10/09 4:52pm steve:

Nick Lowe's Labour of Lust is a great album. It needs to re-released on CD.
  Sat. 10/10/09 5:14pm David Shortell:

Why the guilt over playing "Inside Looking Out"? Somehow, this is the first time I've ever heard that track played on ANY radio, let alone "classic rock" radio.
  Sat. 10/10/09 5:40pm Tom:

Dig the Troggs!
  Sat. 10/10/09 5:42pm Lud:

This shit reminds me of a current movie interpretation the "60s"--believe me no 60s radio played this bubble gum crap. There was a reason these lost treasures were buried..and forgotten.
  Sat. 10/10/09 5:46pm frenchee:

Hey LUD, Peace man!
  Sat. 10/10/09 5:53pm Terre T:

  Sun. 10/11/09 2:18pm Ronnie B.:

That was nice of you to talk about Blue Ash like that.
  Mon. 10/12/09 12:24pm Mark Hershberger:

Mike! Thanks for the nice tribute to Bill Bartolin of Blue Ash....I was proud to call him a friend....a great guy and a fantastic guitarist for a vastly under appreciated band!

  Sat. 10/24/09 3:04pm Patrick:

Hi Mike, I've been searching for a copy or to simply hear the Gods track 'Garage Man', and here it is wow!!! do you have a copy of the A side of this single, 'Come on Down to My Boat Baby' I heard it once in a UK Mod Club circa 1995 and it blew me away, if you've got it air it!
