	10:40pm ShelbyG: @courtney: 😬

	10:44pm common: This
	10:45pm courtneynoir: Yeah this PiL song has lots of sense memories for me
	10:45pm ShelbyG: @courtney: that's cringe-worthy, character building shit right there
	10:45pm DjLorraine: It's better that way😂😅
	10:46pm ShelbyG: DjL: agreed
	10:47pm DjLorraine: ...but did you do any pointing.? * Omg i love this story*
	10:48pm ShelbyG: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH. Sorry for yelling, but I fuckin' love Serge!!!!!!!

	10:49pm Scobot: WOW!! Exquisite!!
	10:49pm ShelbyG: I'm trying to learn the violin part from Melody
	10:49pm Scobot: I also love his daughter, Charlotte’s work.
	10:50pm courtneynoir: Il faut croire que c'est la société Qui m'a définitivement abîmé
	10:50pm ShelbyG: @Scobot: moi aussi
	10:50pm courtneynoir: Charlotte is great
	10:50pm paparay: Wife & I saw her perform w/ her mother. And visited Serge's grave in Paris.
	10:51pm Scobot: Ford Mustang! BANG!
	10:52pm miparis: She and her family live between Brooklyn and France
	10:52pm Saturn3: That Seattle remix was odd to me on that it removed all of the hooks I had dug!
	10:53pm Scobot: Voix sexy!
	10:53pm N'Lo: Ok I definitely haven’t heard this one in….30 years?!?
	10:54pm ShelbyG: I love you, papa, but I fuckin hate this goddam song (Manhattan Transfer). It's a personal problem I should most likely keep to myself.
	10:55pm paparay: You have just crossed over into another dimension....
	10:55pm pgalub: Ray, could Golden Earring TZ be far off? ;)
	10:56pm paparay: @ pgalub: I've rocked the EXTENDED version in the past.
	10:57pm pgalub: Ah. Time for an archive deep dive.
	10:57pm Saturn3: I like this instrumental part a lot
	11:00pm Scobot: Please don’t play “The Streak” by Ray Stevens.
	11:01pm N'Lo: Ahhhh Bertha! I recognize her from another song but this takes it to concept album.
	11:02pm paparay: I used to hear this song as kid back in Jamaica. It was fun hearing Darth Vader mentioned on a record.
	11:02pm N'Lo: Wow.
	11:03pm Mu Major: Even better mentioning Vader and the Enterprise in the same song
	11:03pm ShelbyG: that is a jam, for sho
	11:03pm Saturn3: Wow that Bertha song ended strong!! Damn!
	11:03pm miparis: Brigitte Bardot!
	11:04pm Dionne: here to say that I LOVE Manhattan Transfer.
	11:04pm ShelbyG: Brigitte Bardot.
	11:04pm DougDeMontréal: My guess is Serge's muse is Jane Birkin, his English, French-speaking wife.
	11:06pm miparis: Brigitte Bardot (aka BB) was THE icon actress at that time. Serge and her had a short intense love story
	11:06pm N'Lo: noches calientes en la L.E.S.!
	11:08pm loveless: ¡Azucar!
	11:09pm DjLorraine: “Oh it's good good good, like Brigitte Bardot" Pretenders
	11:10pm paparay: Inside the New York Underground reggae set!!!!!
	11:17pm DjLorraine: Azucar!!
	11:18pm courtneynoir: @ Ray - My work team recently hired a Jamaican-born, NYC-bred gal and in my head I was like "Oh, like Ray Boogie!!" but everyone else on my team is under 30 so I kept that to myself
	11:19pm paparay: Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
	11:22pm DjLorraine: A-so we stay
	11:24pm paparay: Jah know!
	11:25pm Scobot: @DJLorraine, I LOVE Message of Love!
	11:30pm paparay: Got 1/2 hour to gooooooo......
	11:39pm courtneynoir: Good Gawd, just stepped outside and it is like 500% humidity in Nebraska right now
	11:41pm courtneynoir: Still here, Ray. Putting records away which I should've done long ago
	11:43pm paparay: We are winding it down folks. Time to breathe and chill and sip what you're sipping. Yeah!
	11:45pm courtneynoir: Oh GRACE !
	11:46pm miparis: ♥️
	11:47pm phat in Lincoln: This Grace Jones arrangement is so good.
	11:47pm carlos v: ray boogie holding it down as usual! if there’s time, may i request marvin gaye - after the dance? it would smooth things out nicely. thank you for another wonderful set paparay!
	11:48pm phat in Lincoln: @courtneynoir about to get a big storm, supposedly.
	11:48pm courtneynoir: @phat - yeah my lights just flickered ..... was nice knowing you all ...... ha
	11:50pm miparis: Stay safe!
	11:52pm DjLorraine: Thank you so much for All the tunes and fun
	11:52pm pgalub: Nice Wichita Lineman quote there. ;)

	10:50pm courtneynoir: Charlotte is great
	10:50pm paparay: Wife & I saw her perform w/ her mother. And visited Serge's grave in Paris.

	10:52pm miparis: She and her family live between Brooklyn and France
	10:52pm Saturn3: That Seattle remix was odd to me on that it removed all of the hooks I had dug!
	10:53pm Scobot: Voix sexy!
	10:53pm N'Lo: Ok I definitely haven’t heard this one in….30 years?!?
	10:54pm ShelbyG: I love you, papa, but I fuckin hate this goddam song (Manhattan Transfer). It's a personal problem I should most likely keep to myself.
	10:55pm paparay: You have just crossed over into another dimension....
	10:55pm pgalub: Ray, could Golden Earring TZ be far off? ;)
	10:56pm paparay: @ pgalub: I've rocked the EXTENDED version in the past.
	10:57pm pgalub: Ah. Time for an archive deep dive.
	10:57pm Saturn3: I like this instrumental part a lot
	11:00pm Scobot: Please don’t play “The Streak” by Ray Stevens.
	11:01pm N'Lo: Ahhhh Bertha! I recognize her from another song but this takes it to concept album.
	11:02pm paparay: I used to hear this song as kid back in Jamaica. It was fun hearing Darth Vader mentioned on a record.
	11:02pm N'Lo: Wow.
	11:03pm Mu Major: Even better mentioning Vader and the Enterprise in the same song
	11:03pm ShelbyG: that is a jam, for sho
	11:03pm Saturn3: Wow that Bertha song ended strong!! Damn!

	11:04pm Dionne: here to say that I LOVE Manhattan Transfer.
	11:04pm ShelbyG: Brigitte Bardot.
	11:04pm DougDeMontréal: My guess is Serge's muse is Jane Birkin, his English, French-speaking wife.
	11:06pm miparis: Brigitte Bardot (aka BB) was THE icon actress at that time. Serge and her had a short intense love story
