	♥ 12:27am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:24 i was trying to determine if that was her voice or just the production
	♥ 12:28am RichardJ: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:24 So into it.
	12:28am late night clara-tea: Be careful not to be a hullabaffoon
	♥ 12:28am coelacanth∅: ↳ RichardJ @12:27 it's okay i think i just beat it to death
	12:29am late night clara-tea: I just went through the alphabet in my head, I think we’ve got all of the ba_oon words

	12:40am late night clara-tea: Wait, did he just say he was arrested or did I mishear
	12:41am late night clara-tea: What a player
	♥ 12:41am RichardJ: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:39 Which is so interesting to me since it was '62! three years later!
	♥ 12:41am RichardJ: ↳ late night clara-tea @12:41 Mambo no. 5
	♥ 12:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ RichardJ @12:41 right, thought it was quite a bit earlier
	12:42am late night clara-tea: Mambo No. 5 absolutely plagiarized heheheh
	♥ 12:42am dan in wisconsin: These tunes seem like such wholesome highbrow goodness in comparison to Rex's lowbrow, sometimes no-brow tuff goodness. I mean these kids are really pootin' no guff about being excited for school.
	12:44am late night clara-tea: This song knows that a girl does enjoy some flattery
	♥ 12:44am JohnEBGood: 5 letters for back to school fan. Loser : )

	♥ 12:52am coelacanth∅: this is great!
	12:53am late night clara-tea: I too want a boy with a hi fi supersonic stereo
	♥ 12:53am coelacanth∅: crap,i think my bleeps are coming out from the other side
	12:59am late night clara-tea: I love a spoken interlude
	♥ 1:01am tom tom the pipers son: recently bought the book 'the sound of the city- the rise of rock n roll' covering this era and earlier, looking forward to reading it, but need a trip to ophthlomalogist
	1:01am late night clara-tea: Hi Richard! Good morning!
	1:02am late night clara-tea: The caffeine is keeping up your energy, which is in turn keeping up our energy!
	1:05am late night clara-tea: @tomtom How come you can’t read the book until you see the ophthalmologist?
	♥ 1:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Need Somebody" by "Emanuel Laskey" this seems to look forward to later motown
	♥ 1:06am coelacanth∅: i drank a tall brazilian coffee thinking i was working 'till 7am. now i'm going to do things around the apartment which is fine but no vaccuum cleaner, no power drill, no moving of furniture. . .
	1:06am late night clara-tea: The book does sound really interesting!
	♥ 1:07am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ late night clara-tea @1:05 need stronger reading glasses, in ny you can only get power 2.75 over the counter
	1:08am late night clara-tea: Left the water running! Is there gonna be a flood!!!!
	1:10am late night clara-tea: @tomtom Aha! Well hopefully you get the reading glasses soon so you can share with us all the interesting stuff you learn from the book!!
	1:16am late night clara-tea: I love the cynicism of this song haha
	1:17am late night clara-tea: Same, Shirley. Same.
	♥ 1:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Girls It Ain't Easy" by "The Honey Cone" @richard: this is only song you've played i recall hearing before
	1:20am late night clara-tea: Hello! Hi! This conversational song is fun
	1:21am late night clara-tea: @tomtom You’re more well-versed than me! I’ve never heard any of these before, I feel like!
	♥ 1:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ late night clara-tea @1:21 i think that one is a pretty well known song, if you didn't know it, now you do...
	1:25am late night clara-tea: W! F! M! U? Hehehehe
	1:27am late night clara-tea: Hi!!!!!!!!
	1:27am late night clara-tea: I got a shout-out!!!!
	1:28am late night clara-tea: To be clear, I am here as friend but also because I am genuinely enjoying the show and the chat :)
	♥ 1:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Company You Keep" by "Diane Renay" doing a little buddy holly thing there
	♥ 1:30am coelacanth∅: crying hoping waiting?
	♥ 1:30am RichardJ: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:29 right?? love the quote!
	♥ 1:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Please Don't Wake Me" by "The Cinderellas" spector-ish
	♥ 1:33am RichardJ: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:30 I love the Dimension/Valiant tracks that were doing that wall of sound stuff in that era.
	♥ 1:34am tom tom the pipers son: sounded great
	♥ 1:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Nitty Gritty" by "Ricardo Ray" video to shirley ellis version has some great dancing
	♥ 1:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Stand Accused (Of Loving You)" by "The Glories" very emotional vocal
	♥ 1:44am tom tom the pipers son: with all due respect, i don't really care for fmu shows that play this era of music but with retro theatrics, the music holds up or it doesn't, don't need the mind fuck
	♥ 1:45am coelacanth∅: okay you're up to i think a half dozen familiar tracks, + a few unknown versions of familiar songs...pretty impressive for a show full of early r&r and r&b 45s! ...many artists i've never heard of. gettin' edjamacation
	1:46am late night clara-tea: @tomtom Could you elaborate? What do you mean when you talk about retro theatrics?
	♥ 1:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ late night clara-tea @1:46 for instance, using lots of echo on the announcements. giving a hep-cat vibe b.s.
	♥ 1:49am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:44 'you mean those insufferable cocacola ads and nearly buried in echo mic breaks? if so i agree.
	♥ 1:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:49 yes, stuff like that
	♥ 1:54am coelacanth∅: ...i'm not into much of what he plays, but i think Michael Shelly does a good job of using the basic formula of old but updating it, as if a natural evolution - rather than mimicking the past.
	♥ 1:55am coelacanth∅: - but that said i like a lot of the shows that do this mimicking, just not that aspect of them
	♥ 1:59am tom tom the pipers son: i like learning, assessing or re-assessing history to see what can be useful to present, putting a veneer on it only hinders seeing it clearly... not being argumentative
	♥ 2:02am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:59 also it often seems like an exaggerated caricature of it's former self
	♥ 2:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:02 seems like a commercial move on a non-commercial station
	♥ 2:07am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Dum Dum Ditty" by "The Goodies" and with a shangri-las cover flip...i assume... it was the shangri-las' first right?
	♥ 2:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "(Sing Along With) I Still Love Him" by "The Joys" likethe tempo of this one
	♥ 2:10am tom tom the pipers son: believe brian wilson would have liked that last one
	2:10am late night clara-tea: Hehee as I said, I love a little spoken interlude
	♥ 2:10am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:05 yes... and every time i hear one of those ads (before asap turning off the r&s radio stream) i think somebody is getting paid for these coke ads. they're vintage, but it's still effective advertising.
	2:11am late night clara-tea: Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA in the chat - I am being eaten alive by mosquitoes and so now I am trying to buy a bug zapper
	♥ 2:12am RichardJ: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:07 I'm actually not sure which came first! I think they were both '65?
	♥ 2:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:10 suppose it's supposed to be ironic, but that sort of irony has gone stale
	♥ 2:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ late night clara-tea @2:11 when you buy the zapper, don't forget to fill out all the DEET-ails... ;)
	♥ 2:17am coelacanth∅: ↳ RichardJ @2:12 okay - not absolute, but the writer, Shadow Morton, penned other songs for shangri-las; so it probably was them first... (but then it could be a Love potion #9 type thing too, where it was penned for the coasters but for some reason they didn't do it 'till ~ a decade after the clovers took it on...) ?
	♥ 2:18am coelacanth∅: (except not a decade)
	♥ 2:21am Marie Ann's mom∅: ↳ Song: "Let's Make Up" by "The Doves" no, honey. you can start ruining your back and your feet when you're 18.
	2:28am late night clara-tea: @tomtom Heheheehe I see what you did there. DEET-ails is v good
	♥ 2:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Phillie" by "The M-M and the Peanuts" slightly off key horns sounded good
	♥ 2:29am coelacanth∅: oh this Lovelites is Lovely
	2:32am BH: ↳ Song: "Lima Beans" by "Eddy Ware And His Band" The Lima Bean industry is relentless in their musical propaganda
	♥ 2:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Tear Drops Will Fall" by "The Silvertones" a sweet one...
	2:35am late night clara-tea: The hokey pokey!
	♥ 2:36am spodiodi: ↳ Song: "The Hokey Pokey" by "Ray Anthony and his Orchestra" hellz yes
	2:38am late night clara-tea: Backside!
	2:38am late night clara-tea: Christmas????
	♥ 2:42am tom tom the pipers son: i'm hungry
	♥ 2:45am coelacanth∅: sorry, i was not doing the hokey pokey. i was spinning (records in a record washer) ...but vaguely remembering doing that as a child...the funny innocence watching the girls putting their backsides in and shaking them all about...
	♥ 2:46am coelacanth∅: hey spodi you're still here! how you feelin'?
	♥ 2:50am spodiodi: hey coelacanthØ! oh, pretty okay. thanks for asking. how are you? you cracked me up with your hokey pokey comment :)
	♥ 2:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart" by "The Supr... ... 'i can't scratch it'...ha!
	♥ 2:51am spodiodi: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:45 i was hokey pokeying in my mind.
	♥ 2:53am Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "I'll Kiss Your Teardrops Away" by "The Laddins" Surface noise makes me happy
	♥ 2:54am Aitch: Lurked through most of the show, rather nice.
	♥ 2:55am tom tom the pipers son: @richard: it was a pleasure, thx...
	♥ 2:55am spodiodi: great show, Richard J! really fun & so much great music. thank you
	♥ 2:55am RichardJ: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:55 thank you so much!
	♥ 2:56am RichardJ: ↳ spodiodi @2:55 Thanks!!!!
	♥ 2:56am RichardJ: ↳ Aitch @2:54 Thank you!!!
	♥ 2:57am coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @2:50 ha,yeah now in elementary school gymnasium, standing in a circle, sticking various body parts in and out! good times. hopefully dream about it later!
	♥ 2:58am coelacanth∅: next week, the alley cat
	♥ 2:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Richard!
	♥ 2:59am spodiodi: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:58 it reminds me of so many family wedding receptions
	♥ 3:00am coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @2:59 it's all very hazy. but i can see myself laughing
	♥ 3:03am RichardJ: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:59 Thank YOU!

	12:27am late night clara-tea: Nice
	♥ 12:27am RichardJ: Gosh I want to contribute to the hullabaloo bit but I am totally at a loss!!!!

	12:40am late night clara-tea: Wait, did he just say he was arrested or did I mishear
	12:41am late night clara-tea: What a player
	♥ 12:41am RichardJ: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:39 Which is so interesting to me since it was '62! three years later!
	♥ 12:41am RichardJ: ↳ late night clara-tea @12:41 Mambo no. 5
	♥ 12:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ RichardJ @12:41 right, thought it was quite a bit earlier
	12:42am late night clara-tea: Mambo No. 5 absolutely plagiarized heheheh
	♥ 12:42am dan in wisconsin: These tunes seem like such wholesome highbrow goodness in comparison to Rex's lowbrow, sometimes no-brow tuff goodness. I mean these kids are really pootin' no guff about being excited for school.
	12:44am late night clara-tea: This song knows that a girl does enjoy some flattery

	♥ 12:53am coelacanth∅: crap,i think my bleeps are coming out from the other side
	12:59am late night clara-tea: I love a spoken interlude
	♥ 1:01am tom tom the pipers son: recently bought the book 'the sound of the city- the rise of rock n roll' covering this era and earlier, looking forward to reading it, but need a trip to ophthlomalogist
	1:01am late night clara-tea: Hi Richard! Good morning!
	1:02am late night clara-tea: The caffeine is keeping up your energy, which is in turn keeping up our energy!
	1:05am late night clara-tea: @tomtom How come you can’t read the book until you see the ophthalmologist?
	♥ 1:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Need Somebody" by "Emanuel Laskey" this seems to look forward to later motown
	♥ 1:06am coelacanth∅: i drank a tall brazilian coffee thinking i was working 'till 7am. now i'm going to do things around the apartment which is fine but no vaccuum cleaner, no power drill, no moving of furniture. . .
	1:06am late night clara-tea: The book does sound really interesting!
	♥ 1:07am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ late night clara-tea @1:05 need stronger reading glasses, in ny you can only get power 2.75 over the counter

	1:16am late night clara-tea: I love the cynicism of this song haha
	1:17am late night clara-tea: Same, Shirley. Same.
	♥ 1:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Girls It Ain't Easy" by "The Honey Cone" @richard: this is only song you've played i recall hearing before
	1:20am late night clara-tea: Hello! Hi! This conversational song is fun
	1:21am late night clara-tea: @tomtom You’re more well-versed than me! I’ve never heard any of these before, I feel like!
	♥ 1:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ late night clara-tea @1:21 i think that one is a pretty well known song, if you didn't know it, now you do...
	1:25am late night clara-tea: W! F! M! U? Hehehehe
	1:27am late night clara-tea: Hi!!!!!!!!
	1:27am late night clara-tea: I got a shout-out!!!!
	1:28am late night clara-tea: To be clear, I am here as friend but also because I am genuinely enjoying the show and the chat :)
	♥ 1:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Company You Keep" by "Diane Renay" doing a little buddy holly thing there
	♥ 1:30am coelacanth∅: crying hoping waiting?
	♥ 1:30am RichardJ: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:29 right?? love the quote!
	♥ 1:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Please Don't Wake Me" by "The Cinderellas" spector-ish
	♥ 1:33am RichardJ: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:30 I love the Dimension/Valiant tracks that were doing that wall of sound stuff in that era.
	♥ 1:34am tom tom the pipers son: sounded great
	♥ 1:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Nitty Gritty" by "Ricardo Ray" video to shirley ellis version has some great dancing
	♥ 1:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Stand Accused (Of Loving You)" by "The Glories" very emotional vocal
	♥ 1:44am tom tom the pipers son: with all due respect, i don't really care for fmu shows that play this era of music but with retro theatrics, the music holds up or it doesn't, don't need the mind fuck
	♥ 1:45am coelacanth∅: okay you're up to i think a half dozen familiar tracks, + a few unknown versions of familiar songs...pretty impressive for a show full of early r&r and r&b 45s! ...many artists i've never heard of. gettin' edjamacation
	1:46am late night clara-tea: @tomtom Could you elaborate? What do you mean when you talk about retro theatrics?
	♥ 1:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ late night clara-tea @1:46 for instance, using lots of echo on the announcements. giving a hep-cat vibe b.s.
	♥ 1:49am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:44 'you mean those insufferable cocacola ads and nearly buried in echo mic breaks? if so i agree.
	♥ 1:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:49 yes, stuff like that
	♥ 1:54am coelacanth∅: ...i'm not into much of what he plays, but i think Michael Shelly does a good job of using the basic formula of old but updating it, as if a natural evolution - rather than mimicking the past.
	♥ 1:55am coelacanth∅: - but that said i like a lot of the shows that do this mimicking, just not that aspect of them
	♥ 1:59am tom tom the pipers son: i like learning, assessing or re-assessing history to see what can be useful to present, putting a veneer on it only hinders seeing it clearly... not being argumentative
	♥ 2:02am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:59 also it often seems like an exaggerated caricature of it's former self
	♥ 2:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:02 seems like a commercial move on a non-commercial station
	♥ 2:07am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Dum Dum Ditty" by "The Goodies" and with a shangri-las cover flip...i assume... it was the shangri-las' first right?
	♥ 2:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "(Sing Along With) I Still Love Him" by "The Joys" likethe tempo of this one
	♥ 2:10am tom tom the pipers son: believe brian wilson would have liked that last one
	2:10am late night clara-tea: Hehee as I said, I love a little spoken interlude
	♥ 2:10am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:05 yes... and every time i hear one of those ads (before asap turning off the r&s radio stream) i think somebody is getting paid for these coke ads. they're vintage, but it's still effective advertising.
	2:11am late night clara-tea: Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA in the chat - I am being eaten alive by mosquitoes and so now I am trying to buy a bug zapper
	♥ 2:12am RichardJ: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:07 I'm actually not sure which came first! I think they were both '65?
	♥ 2:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:10 suppose it's supposed to be ironic, but that sort of irony has gone stale
	♥ 2:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ late night clara-tea @2:11 when you buy the zapper, don't forget to fill out all the DEET-ails... ;)
	♥ 2:17am coelacanth∅: ↳ RichardJ @2:12 okay - not absolute, but the writer, Shadow Morton, penned other songs for shangri-las; so it probably was them first... (but then it could be a Love potion #9 type thing too, where it was penned for the coasters but for some reason they didn't do it 'till ~ a decade after the clovers took it on...) ?
	♥ 2:18am coelacanth∅: (except not a decade)
	♥ 2:21am Marie Ann's mom∅: ↳ Song: "Let's Make Up" by "The Doves" no, honey. you can start ruining your back and your feet when you're 18.
	2:28am late night clara-tea: @tomtom Heheheehe I see what you did there. DEET-ails is v good
	♥ 2:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Phillie" by "The M-M and the Peanuts" slightly off key horns sounded good
	♥ 2:29am coelacanth∅: oh this Lovelites is Lovely
	2:32am BH: ↳ Song: "Lima Beans" by "Eddy Ware And His Band" The Lima Bean industry is relentless in their musical propaganda
	♥ 2:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Tear Drops Will Fall" by "The Silvertones" a sweet one...
	2:35am late night clara-tea: The hokey pokey!
	♥ 2:36am spodiodi: ↳ Song: "The Hokey Pokey" by "Ray Anthony and his Orchestra" hellz yes
	2:38am late night clara-tea: Backside!
	2:38am late night clara-tea: Christmas????
	♥ 2:42am tom tom the pipers son: i'm hungry
	♥ 2:45am coelacanth∅: sorry, i was not doing the hokey pokey. i was spinning (records in a record washer) ...but vaguely remembering doing that as a child...the funny innocence watching the girls putting their backsides in and shaking them all about...
	♥ 2:46am coelacanth∅: hey spodi you're still here! how you feelin'?
	♥ 2:50am spodiodi: hey coelacanthØ! oh, pretty okay. thanks for asking. how are you? you cracked me up with your hokey pokey comment :)
	♥ 2:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart" by "The Supr... ... 'i can't scratch it'...ha!
	♥ 2:51am spodiodi: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:45 i was hokey pokeying in my mind.
	♥ 2:53am Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "I'll Kiss Your Teardrops Away" by "The Laddins" Surface noise makes me happy
	♥ 2:54am Aitch: Lurked through most of the show, rather nice.
	♥ 2:55am tom tom the pipers son: @richard: it was a pleasure, thx...

	♥ 2:56am RichardJ: ↳ spodiodi @2:55 Thanks!!!!
	♥ 2:56am RichardJ: ↳ Aitch @2:54 Thank you!!!
	♥ 2:57am coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @2:50 ha,yeah now in elementary school gymnasium, standing in a circle, sticking various body parts in and out! good times. hopefully dream about it later!
	♥ 2:58am coelacanth∅: next week, the alley cat
	♥ 2:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Richard!
	♥ 2:59am spodiodi: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:58 it reminds me of so many family wedding receptions
