	9:18pm tim from washington: I’ll answer to that, clarke, as long as you pronounce it “Cham-pag-nee”.
	9:18pm clarke: as is should be!!
	9:19pm clarke: what's happnin' with the Iliini tonight??

	9:22pm Nate K.: Hey, @Medson!
	9:23pm medson: Hey Clarke
	9:23pm tim from washington: My Illini sports knowledge is pretty sorry. I chaperoned my daughter’s class field trip to an IIllini women’s basketball game a couple weeks ago. They looked pretty good on the court.
	9:24pm clarke: i like their men's basketball program.
	9:26pm radioronan: Hello Nate and those sweeping embers..looking forward to interview!
	9:26pm clarke: @Tim: how old is the daughter?? do you chaperone often, sir??
	9:28pm clarke: RIP Hamish.
	9:28pm clarke: hey, does anyone know if hamish drums on David Kilgour's solo albums??
	9:29pm clarke: Lone Live The Clean!!
	9:29pm clarke: Long AND Lone!!
	9:33pm tim from washington: clarke - she’s 6 and this was the first field trip so far this year. Men’s Illini basketball seems to be the flagship sport for the school. I took my daughter to see women’s soccer earlier in the fall which was pretty fun.
	9:36pm clarke: six - WOW - you took a crew of six year old girls on an outing? what an ADULT you are!!
	9:37pm clarke: looking up a few David Kilgour albums it looks like Tane Takona drums on most of them. (i like the drumming on them).
	9:38pm Chop Scott: Thanks for the Hamish plays Nate.
	9:38pm clarke: but, i also think Hamish is a great drummer, as well!!
	9:40pm clarke: or was. rest easy.
	9:41pm ultradamno: A band whose every offshoot band are also iconic
	9:43pm clarke: actually Tane Takona RIP, as well.
	9:48pm ultradamno: Wow...it's been since 2017 since I first clickied this
	9:49pm medson: I’m picturing Matt Dillon
	9:49pm Nate K.: Sure thing, Scott!
	9:50pm Nate K.: @Ultra, I must have played this since, though. It's my jam.
	10:02pm clarke: i also know that the author Larry Brown used to go see The Neckbones quite often - because i saw him there.
	10:04pm Nate K.: @Clarke, that's cool!
	10:05pm clarke: yeah, Larry is a good dude - fan of good music - i don't know if he is still with us??
	10:06pm clarke: i should never play dead or alive with anyone.
	10:08pm clarke: but, i do know that tyler recommended to me that i read Brown's stuff.
	10:10pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Nate K and all!!!
	10:11pm clarke: willlllburrrr
	10:11pm Nate K.: Welcome, Will!
	10:15pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Ultradamno, greg, clarke, tim, Ken HP, medson, radioronan, and Chop Scott!
	10:16pm clarke: hows thangs?
	10:16pm drew73: Hello Nate & everyone else!
	10:17pm ultradamno: Hiya Will!
	10:17pm Will thee Sound Guy: tired, had my work party today... got home a lil bit ago
	10:17pm clarke: like the xmas party?
	10:19pm Nate K.: Hey, Drew! How goes it?
	10:20pm drew73: Heard this one first on Burn it Down years ago; was instantly hooked.
	10:20pm Will thee Sound Guy: yea, appetizers and 🍺 🍻 🍺 🍻
	10:21pm clarke: it's later than you drink!!
	10:21pm Nate K.: @Drew, yes! Great album.
	10:23pm ultradamno: If you wander into the everglades, for sure...
	10:26pm clarke: ha ha, alan jackson is NOT modern country - there is still some semblance of the old with jackson
	10:26pm northguineahills: don't know anything about florigia or floribama, nope, not me...
	10:26pm clarke: "modern country" is hip-hop with a fiddle.
	10:28pm clarke: tim never played with db's - but, all the rest, he was in.
	10:29pm ultradamno: I think modern country is Gangstagrass. I saw them on The Caverns Sessions and they are the most hilariously misguided attempt to meld rap and bluegrass
	10:29pm Nate K.: @Clarke, that's the interesting part. When he first came out, Alan Jackson would have been considered pop!
	10:30pm clarke: well, on the edge of it. i am not sure how jackson is used in the novel. i am not a huge alan jackson fan, but compared to the "modern' stuff - I AM!!
	10:31pm ultradamno: (Caverns Sessions, formerly Bluegrass Underground on PBS)
	10:32pm clarke: tim lee and chris D are longtime friends.
	10:33pm clarke: i highly recommend Tim Lee's memoir!!
	10:34pm Nate K.: A big thanks to my guest, Tyler Keith! And thanks for listening, folks!
	10:34pm clarke: very GREAT, Nate!!
	10:35pm Nate K.: Thanks, Clarke. Means a lot!
	10:37pm ultradamno: One of Flesh Eaters' top hits, after Boneyard
	10:37pm clarke: also, thanks for the broad survey of all the tyler music!! a good cross-section!
	10:37pm northguineahills: @nate k: i was going to say, i always thought alan jackson as pop. then again, i label any music w/ lyrics as pop music, so, w/ that definition, old country would be pop....
	10:38pm clarke: one of me faves, rite cheer.
	10:40pm Nate K.: @NGH, tough but fair.
	10:43pm Franco Twinkie: I just realized you were talking about Chris D. For years he was the programmer for The Los Angeles Cinematheque at The Egyptian Theater. Quite the scholar of just about everything.
	10:45pm clarke: he's a smart dude!! also a good actor.
	10:45pm Nate K.: @Fraco, Ha! Yes. Our little conversational tag at the end of the interview.
	10:46pm Nate K.: @Clarke One of the few punks that worked with Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman.
	10:47pm clarke: hah, right!
	10:48pm Franco Twinkie: The last time I saw The Fleasheaters, they were opening for The Gun Club in Downtown L.A. A personal favorite of late first wave.
	10:48pm clarke: that is a long time ago!!
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: Late 80's.
	10:50pm ultradamno: Have never seen Flesh Eaters, but did get to see Divine Horsemen around that first SST run and they were awesome
	10:50pm clarke: wow. cool!! patricia morrison on bass, that night?
	10:51pm Franco Twinkie: No, Romi Mori.
	10:51pm clarke: oh so LATE LATE 80's!!
	10:52pm Franco Twinkie: Mother Juno late.
	10:52pm clarke: cool i never caught that 'tour'
	10:53pm Franco Twinkie: They were beyond beyond.
	10:53pm clarke: but also: trumpet time, ha ha.
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: Yes indeed! Jeffery always had to do something to yank the table cloth.
	10:55pm Nate K.: I saw the Flesh Eaters reunion in 2019(???). I was more than satisfied.
	10:56pm clarke: that is one reunion i wish i had caught.
	10:56pm clarke: (i'm not really big on most reunions)
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: Nor I. But what are you going to do? We all missed something vital.
	11:00pm clarke: have ya'll seen the latest Gun Club documentary - it's really great.
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: I'm glad I saw Roky once and only once.
	11:00pm ultradamno: ROKY!
	11:00pm ultradamno: That I would have loved
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: I didn't know about a new one Clarke.
	11:01pm clarke: i have seen roky several times and each was really great. had 'dinner' with him, too (at the [other] end of a long table).
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: This is so sweet.
	11:02pm northguineahills: nice, clarke!
	11:03pm clarke: the new doc is called Ghost On The Highway -- easily the best one, because Ward Dotson is actually interviewed for the film.
	11:04pm Franco Twinkie: I'll check it. Thanks Clarke.
	11:05pm clarke: "gay blade" was a post-midevil term - around the time of the muskateers -- it meant a swingin dude.
	11:06pm clarke: musketeers?? sp?
	11:07pm clarke: Woggles played at joshua tree pappy and h's last nite.
	11:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...missed the Live & ChrisD juxtaposed with Roky...
	11:08pm clarke: REV!!
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Glad to hear GunClub are treated right.
	11:09pm Franco Twinkie: Whoa! I saw Howin' Rain for free at Ameoba Records in Hollywood in the way back. They kicked so hard.
	11:09pm clarke: oh i highly recommend the film - in ALL the live footage compiled on that film JLP never hits a correct note. not one.
	11:10pm clarke: actually - sorry -- the footage of the later "gun club" shows jeffrey more on key.
	11:11pm clarke: the lucky jim period is more tone-tune-friendly.
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HowlinRain from NoCal ...ok...
	11:12pm clarke: there was just a period when jeff was apparently not interested in hitting his notes.
	11:12pm Franco Twinkie: Cry To Me is a personal favorite from Luck Jim. So not punk,punk.
	11:13pm clarke: that's a good one - i am quite fond of the title track, meself
	11:14pm ultradamno: Makes me recall when Exene got a vocal coach. I'm guessing that person is institutionalized now.
	11:14pm clarke: i don't want to spoil too much, but there is a moment in the film which actually made me shed a tear.
	11:15pm Franco Twinkie: That too is magnificent. I went to Hanoi shorty after in came out. I was seen it thru Jeffery's eyes.
	11:15pm clarke: i think the coach helped exene. the Auntie Christ stuff is more on key.
	11:15pm ultradamno: Jeffrey Lee is OK though, right? Wait, no spoilees!
	11:15pm clarke: hah. ha ha.
	11:17pm clarke: there's this other little short film on jeffrey lee in london. i forget the name of it. some of it is quite touching, as well.
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Okay is a relative judgement.
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never wanted for JLP to have better intonation in the conventional Western sense (it's not always the prime virtue - certainly not in Blues related Musics) - but neither have I seen the film.
	11:18pm clarke: i did not say okay. ha ha.
	11:19pm ultradamno: By the way, Sheffield Tape Archives have a pretty great Gun Club set from 83, name your price terms sheffieldtapearchive.bandcamp.com...
	11:19pm clarke: yes, Rev - it is amazing how off he was during the period when duckworth was on guitar.
	11:19pm Franco Twinkie: What a puzzling character he was.
	11:20pm clarke: you got that right - because he hit the notes on the records!
	11:20pm StringOFperils: He heard something and he followed it.
	11:20pm clarke: and, it's not like the dylan thing where he completely re-thinks the song, either.
	11:21pm Franco Twinkie: We could use contrarian here.
	11:21pm northguineahills: @franco: no we don't!
	11:21pm StringOFperils: I think he was invoking the lizard king
	11:21pm clarke: you'll see the film. in fact, it is on youtube for FREE!!
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: Okay okay!
	11:22pm clarke: i'll be interested to find out if you tear up in the same part that i did.
	11:24pm Franco Twinkie: I would ditch the chat and watch it, but this is very interesting. Rarely do people talk about anyone I feel passionate about.
	11:24pm clarke: catch it later.
	11:25pm clarke: in the interest of full disclosure i am good friends with ward, jim and congo - but, never really talked to JLP.
	11:26pm Franco Twinkie: I grew up with Kid.
	11:26pm clarke: other than to say hello, etc.
	11:27pm clarke: wow, then Jeffrey was around, as you all grew up in the same 'hood, right?
	11:27pm drew73: There should be a Burn it Down tee, and the back should just read: "hour three"
	11:28pm ultradamno: I often recall Lux saying about firing Congo that he played great slide with Gun Club but they didn't really have a place for that, even though he wasn't playing slide with Cramps and was fine.
	11:28pm Nate K.: @Drew, I love it!
	11:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If one thinks of Iggy citing seeing Jim Morrison piss off a bunch of fratboys by singing in a high squeaky voice as a formative experience - maybe he was invoking him !...
	11:29pm clarke: i'm not so sure the cramps actually 'fired' congo - it's one of those left before they could fire him's.
	11:30pm ultradamno: I think I've heard Congo call it a firing himself
	11:30pm clarke: and then the cramps had to CYA.
	11:30pm clarke: well, see the new doc. congo's in it
	11:31pm Franco Twinkie: Not exactly. Jeffery grew up a few miles away, across The San Gabriel River. But separation by river is psychic as well as physical.
	11:31pm clarke: congo was apparently friend with jeff's sister, first.
	11:32pm northguineahills: loved that pyramids and this brigitte fontaine...
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I got the impression Lux & Ivy were like Mick & Keef in claiming the whole Empire for themselves ...I thot from Kid's account ...but I'm not real clear on it...
	11:32pm ultradamno: Though getting fired from The Cramps is like getting fired from The Fall, it just indicates you were there at all.
	11:33pm holland oatzier holland: Omelette du fromage!
	11:33pm clarke: oh yeah - hell there's no shame in getting fired from ANY band, really.
	11:33pm clarke: unless you just totally fucked it up.
	11:34pm Franco Twinkie: I will only say this: When I met Lux and Ivy, I thought they were so nice.
	11:34pm clarke: and congo did NOT!!
	11:34pm clarke: oh Ivy is such a sweetheart. lux could be a bit, uh, cruel, at times.
	11:35pm Franco Twinkie: He was nice to me because I was Kids friend I suspect.
	11:36pm ultradamno: I do love that studio outtake on, I think the Songs reissue, of him screaming at someone
	11:36pm clarke: and you deserved it! ha ha.
	11:36pm clarke: there was NO ONE nicer on tour than Ivy - EVER!! she was like a den-mother!!
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Let's be truthful. Back in the day people acted like such animals.
	11:38pm clarke: that's truth, right there.
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All very interesting.
	11:39pm clarke: i could never, for instance, figure out why the Mats took it out on some club owners!! insane some shit they would pull - and the guy is buying you booze!!
	11:39pm Franco Twinkie: I always got a pass, but I saw other people get brutalized. For what? It went both ways.
	11:40pm clarke: well, i was ALWAYS appreciative to the venues and employees - unless they deliberately tried to screw ya.
	11:41pm clarke: (like the Electric Banana in pittsburgh, hint hint).
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: I would never swim in that sewer again.
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's like (sort of) I got mocked once for helping someone up who had fallen in a mosh. ...Well, okay. These are the Cultures.
	11:43pm clarke: yeah, i just never understood a lot of that 'ethos'.
	11:44pm Aitch: Most Exalted Potentate of Love is just about the best track ever, sorry to blurt that, lurking
	11:45pm clarke: good blurt!!
	11:45pm ultradamno: Mosh pit culture definitely coarsened over time, when I first started going to shows picking someone up was assumed...after awhile skinheads with pull-tabs between their fingers became a thing
	11:45pm clarke: that is one of their most original moments, to be sure!
	11:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerknow - TheClash said Anger can be Power - but is it ? Sometimes I think Rawk is an unnaturally sustained Kundalini experience : trying to raise & tap sexuality & anger all the time. As much as I've exulted in it as long as I can remember - I wonder sometimes what kind of Yoga that is...
	11:46pm Franco Twinkie: in Los Angeles, the culture could be pretty harsh on people who didn't look right. Also, Slash Magazine perpetuated lots of crappy behavior gussied up as editorial content.
	11:47pm clarke: certainly anger can be power. i am not sure angst can, tho.
	11:47pm ultradamno: Though I worry Elon Musk heard Weekend On Mars and took it as a challenge
	11:47pm drew73: I recently went to Athens 40 Watt Club for the first time and got knocked sideways by some knucklehead. Not cool, Athens! Or maybe it's a young man's game and I'm aging out.
	11:48pm clarke: well, that is one of the GREATEST clubs in the world, so it was a stupid abberation, i hope.
	11:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah of course - when young - there's nothing but sexuality & anger anyhow - so if you can make Music & Culture out of it @ all you're getting ahead. Sort of.
	11:48pm Aitch: I stand as close as I can to the sound desk, away from any fray.
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: I never went to shows by the hardcore bands. Frankly I was scared to get my ass stomped.
	11:49pm clarke: i saw black flag in baton rouge and my feet never touched the floor for about fifteen minutes.
	11:50pm ultradamno: I remember a girl stage diving into me and breaking my glasses at a Discharge show...she felt SO BAD about it...this was still 84
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: As the scene changed, there were so many options.
	11:53pm northguineahills: The hardcore scene I frequented would always help anyone knocked over. and if any chucklefarks started to cause trouble, they would be 'escorted' out of whatever the venue might have been.
	11:53pm northguineahills: (of course, this was the 90s)
	11:54pm radioronan: Great show -thanks Nate! Cheers y'all!
	11:54pm northguineahills: new Roy Montgomery! thanks Nate K for the arson! cheers, y'all!
	11:54pm Aitch: it was all happening in the 80's didn't know if you were arthur or martha, so many flavours
	11:54pm clarke: glasses used to be so expensive!!
	11:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always felt the Hippie when amongst Punks, & the Punk when amongst Hippies ...probly none of which is relevant anymore anyhow.
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: All the zines reveled in showing picture of people beaten bloody. Why?
	11:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ NateK ~
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Nate.
	11:55pm clarke: thanks Nate sir!! great show and interview!!
	11:55pm N'Lo: Lovely show @djNick, thank you!
	11:56pm ultradamno: @Franco a lot of them seemed to have a pro-wrestling mag aesthetic
	11:57pm clarke: ta ya'll!! look fwd to hearing about the doc, later.
	11:57pm Nate K.: @N'Lo, they call me "Nate" ; )
	11:57pm clarke: they call me trinity...
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: Right. I was on the wrestling team in junior high. That cured me.
	11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Nate. Smoldering.
	11:59pm N'Lo: Ha! Ok then Nate!
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just saw 'ShangriLa' about RickRubin. He's into Wrestling as a reflection on (Un)reality...

	9:17pm clarke: thank YOU -- i have not yet read tyler's novel, but it's on the way...
	9:18pm tim from washington: I’ll answer to that, clarke, as long as you pronounce it “Cham-pag-nee”.
	9:18pm clarke: as is should be!!
	9:19pm clarke: what's happnin' with the Iliini tonight??
	9:19pm tim from washington: Thanks for the info, Nate! Looking forward to the interview coming up!
	9:20pm medson: Hey Nate and all

	9:21pm clarke: medson man!! conjure, son!!
	9:22pm Nate K.: Hey, @Medson!
	9:23pm medson: Hey Clarke
	9:23pm tim from washington: My Illini sports knowledge is pretty sorry. I chaperoned my daughter’s class field trip to an IIllini women’s basketball game a couple weeks ago. They looked pretty good on the court.
	9:24pm clarke: i like their men's basketball program.
	9:26pm radioronan: Hello Nate and those sweeping embers..looking forward to interview!
	9:26pm clarke: @Tim: how old is the daughter?? do you chaperone often, sir??
	9:28pm clarke: RIP Hamish.
	9:28pm clarke: hey, does anyone know if hamish drums on David Kilgour's solo albums??
	9:29pm clarke: Lone Live The Clean!!
	9:29pm clarke: Long AND Lone!!
	9:33pm tim from washington: clarke - she’s 6 and this was the first field trip so far this year. Men’s Illini basketball seems to be the flagship sport for the school. I took my daughter to see women’s soccer earlier in the fall which was pretty fun.
	9:36pm clarke: six - WOW - you took a crew of six year old girls on an outing? what an ADULT you are!!
	9:37pm clarke: looking up a few David Kilgour albums it looks like Tane Takona drums on most of them. (i like the drumming on them).
	9:38pm Chop Scott: Thanks for the Hamish plays Nate.
	9:38pm clarke: but, i also think Hamish is a great drummer, as well!!
	9:40pm clarke: or was. rest easy.
	9:41pm ultradamno: A band whose every offshoot band are also iconic
	9:43pm clarke: actually Tane Takona RIP, as well.
	9:48pm ultradamno: Wow...it's been since 2017 since I first clickied this
	9:49pm medson: I’m picturing Matt Dillon
	9:49pm Nate K.: Sure thing, Scott!
	9:50pm Nate K.: @Ultra, I must have played this since, though. It's my jam.
	10:02pm clarke: i also know that the author Larry Brown used to go see The Neckbones quite often - because i saw him there.
	10:04pm Nate K.: @Clarke, that's cool!
	10:05pm clarke: yeah, Larry is a good dude - fan of good music - i don't know if he is still with us??
	10:06pm clarke: i should never play dead or alive with anyone.
	10:08pm clarke: but, i do know that tyler recommended to me that i read Brown's stuff.
	10:10pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Nate K and all!!!
	10:11pm clarke: willlllburrrr
	10:11pm Nate K.: Welcome, Will!
	10:15pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Ultradamno, greg, clarke, tim, Ken HP, medson, radioronan, and Chop Scott!
	10:16pm clarke: hows thangs?
	10:16pm drew73: Hello Nate & everyone else!
	10:17pm ultradamno: Hiya Will!
	10:17pm Will thee Sound Guy: tired, had my work party today... got home a lil bit ago
	10:17pm clarke: like the xmas party?
	10:19pm Nate K.: Hey, Drew! How goes it?
	10:20pm drew73: Heard this one first on Burn it Down years ago; was instantly hooked.
	10:20pm Will thee Sound Guy: yea, appetizers and 🍺 🍻 🍺 🍻
	10:21pm clarke: it's later than you drink!!
	10:21pm Nate K.: @Drew, yes! Great album.
	10:23pm ultradamno: If you wander into the everglades, for sure...
	10:26pm clarke: ha ha, alan jackson is NOT modern country - there is still some semblance of the old with jackson
	10:26pm northguineahills: don't know anything about florigia or floribama, nope, not me...
	10:26pm clarke: "modern country" is hip-hop with a fiddle.
	10:28pm clarke: tim never played with db's - but, all the rest, he was in.
	10:29pm ultradamno: I think modern country is Gangstagrass. I saw them on The Caverns Sessions and they are the most hilariously misguided attempt to meld rap and bluegrass
	10:29pm Nate K.: @Clarke, that's the interesting part. When he first came out, Alan Jackson would have been considered pop!
	10:30pm clarke: well, on the edge of it. i am not sure how jackson is used in the novel. i am not a huge alan jackson fan, but compared to the "modern' stuff - I AM!!
	10:31pm ultradamno: (Caverns Sessions, formerly Bluegrass Underground on PBS)
	10:32pm clarke: tim lee and chris D are longtime friends.
	10:33pm clarke: i highly recommend Tim Lee's memoir!!
	10:34pm Nate K.: A big thanks to my guest, Tyler Keith! And thanks for listening, folks!
	10:34pm clarke: very GREAT, Nate!!
	10:35pm Nate K.: Thanks, Clarke. Means a lot!
	10:37pm ultradamno: One of Flesh Eaters' top hits, after Boneyard
	10:37pm clarke: also, thanks for the broad survey of all the tyler music!! a good cross-section!
	10:37pm northguineahills: @nate k: i was going to say, i always thought alan jackson as pop. then again, i label any music w/ lyrics as pop music, so, w/ that definition, old country would be pop....
	10:38pm clarke: one of me faves, rite cheer.
	10:40pm Nate K.: @NGH, tough but fair.
	10:43pm Franco Twinkie: I just realized you were talking about Chris D. For years he was the programmer for The Los Angeles Cinematheque at The Egyptian Theater. Quite the scholar of just about everything.
	10:45pm clarke: he's a smart dude!! also a good actor.
	10:45pm Nate K.: @Fraco, Ha! Yes. Our little conversational tag at the end of the interview.
	10:46pm Nate K.: @Clarke One of the few punks that worked with Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman.
	10:47pm clarke: hah, right!
	10:48pm Franco Twinkie: The last time I saw The Fleasheaters, they were opening for The Gun Club in Downtown L.A. A personal favorite of late first wave.
	10:48pm clarke: that is a long time ago!!
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: Late 80's.
	10:50pm ultradamno: Have never seen Flesh Eaters, but did get to see Divine Horsemen around that first SST run and they were awesome
	10:50pm clarke: wow. cool!! patricia morrison on bass, that night?
	10:51pm Franco Twinkie: No, Romi Mori.
	10:51pm clarke: oh so LATE LATE 80's!!
	10:52pm Franco Twinkie: Mother Juno late.
	10:52pm clarke: cool i never caught that 'tour'
	10:53pm Franco Twinkie: They were beyond beyond.
	10:53pm clarke: but also: trumpet time, ha ha.
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: Yes indeed! Jeffery always had to do something to yank the table cloth.
	10:55pm Nate K.: I saw the Flesh Eaters reunion in 2019(???). I was more than satisfied.
	10:56pm clarke: that is one reunion i wish i had caught.
	10:56pm clarke: (i'm not really big on most reunions)
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: Nor I. But what are you going to do? We all missed something vital.
	11:00pm clarke: have ya'll seen the latest Gun Club documentary - it's really great.
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: I'm glad I saw Roky once and only once.
	11:00pm ultradamno: ROKY!
	11:00pm ultradamno: That I would have loved
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: I didn't know about a new one Clarke.
	11:01pm clarke: i have seen roky several times and each was really great. had 'dinner' with him, too (at the [other] end of a long table).
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: This is so sweet.
	11:02pm northguineahills: nice, clarke!
	11:03pm clarke: the new doc is called Ghost On The Highway -- easily the best one, because Ward Dotson is actually interviewed for the film.
	11:04pm Franco Twinkie: I'll check it. Thanks Clarke.
	11:05pm clarke: "gay blade" was a post-midevil term - around the time of the muskateers -- it meant a swingin dude.
	11:06pm clarke: musketeers?? sp?
	11:07pm clarke: Woggles played at joshua tree pappy and h's last nite.
	11:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...missed the Live & ChrisD juxtaposed with Roky...
	11:08pm clarke: REV!!
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Glad to hear GunClub are treated right.
	11:09pm Franco Twinkie: Whoa! I saw Howin' Rain for free at Ameoba Records in Hollywood in the way back. They kicked so hard.
	11:09pm clarke: oh i highly recommend the film - in ALL the live footage compiled on that film JLP never hits a correct note. not one.
	11:10pm clarke: actually - sorry -- the footage of the later "gun club" shows jeffrey more on key.
	11:11pm clarke: the lucky jim period is more tone-tune-friendly.
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HowlinRain from NoCal ...ok...
	11:12pm clarke: there was just a period when jeff was apparently not interested in hitting his notes.
	11:12pm Franco Twinkie: Cry To Me is a personal favorite from Luck Jim. So not punk,punk.
	11:13pm clarke: that's a good one - i am quite fond of the title track, meself
	11:14pm ultradamno: Makes me recall when Exene got a vocal coach. I'm guessing that person is institutionalized now.
	11:14pm clarke: i don't want to spoil too much, but there is a moment in the film which actually made me shed a tear.
	11:15pm Franco Twinkie: That too is magnificent. I went to Hanoi shorty after in came out. I was seen it thru Jeffery's eyes.
	11:15pm clarke: i think the coach helped exene. the Auntie Christ stuff is more on key.
	11:15pm ultradamno: Jeffrey Lee is OK though, right? Wait, no spoilees!
	11:15pm clarke: hah. ha ha.
	11:17pm clarke: there's this other little short film on jeffrey lee in london. i forget the name of it. some of it is quite touching, as well.
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Okay is a relative judgement.
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never wanted for JLP to have better intonation in the conventional Western sense (it's not always the prime virtue - certainly not in Blues related Musics) - but neither have I seen the film.
	11:18pm clarke: i did not say okay. ha ha.
	11:19pm ultradamno: By the way, Sheffield Tape Archives have a pretty great Gun Club set from 83, name your price terms sheffieldtapearchive.bandcamp.com...
	11:19pm clarke: yes, Rev - it is amazing how off he was during the period when duckworth was on guitar.
	11:19pm Franco Twinkie: What a puzzling character he was.
	11:20pm clarke: you got that right - because he hit the notes on the records!
	11:20pm StringOFperils: He heard something and he followed it.
	11:20pm clarke: and, it's not like the dylan thing where he completely re-thinks the song, either.
	11:21pm Franco Twinkie: We could use contrarian here.
	11:21pm northguineahills: @franco: no we don't!
	11:21pm StringOFperils: I think he was invoking the lizard king
	11:21pm clarke: you'll see the film. in fact, it is on youtube for FREE!!
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: Okay okay!
	11:22pm clarke: i'll be interested to find out if you tear up in the same part that i did.
	11:24pm Franco Twinkie: I would ditch the chat and watch it, but this is very interesting. Rarely do people talk about anyone I feel passionate about.
	11:24pm clarke: catch it later.
	11:25pm clarke: in the interest of full disclosure i am good friends with ward, jim and congo - but, never really talked to JLP.
	11:26pm Franco Twinkie: I grew up with Kid.
	11:26pm clarke: other than to say hello, etc.
	11:27pm clarke: wow, then Jeffrey was around, as you all grew up in the same 'hood, right?
	11:27pm drew73: There should be a Burn it Down tee, and the back should just read: "hour three"
	11:28pm ultradamno: I often recall Lux saying about firing Congo that he played great slide with Gun Club but they didn't really have a place for that, even though he wasn't playing slide with Cramps and was fine.
	11:28pm Nate K.: @Drew, I love it!
	11:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If one thinks of Iggy citing seeing Jim Morrison piss off a bunch of fratboys by singing in a high squeaky voice as a formative experience - maybe he was invoking him !...
	11:29pm clarke: i'm not so sure the cramps actually 'fired' congo - it's one of those left before they could fire him's.
	11:30pm ultradamno: I think I've heard Congo call it a firing himself
	11:30pm clarke: and then the cramps had to CYA.
	11:30pm clarke: well, see the new doc. congo's in it
	11:31pm Franco Twinkie: Not exactly. Jeffery grew up a few miles away, across The San Gabriel River. But separation by river is psychic as well as physical.
	11:31pm clarke: congo was apparently friend with jeff's sister, first.
	11:32pm northguineahills: loved that pyramids and this brigitte fontaine...
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I got the impression Lux & Ivy were like Mick & Keef in claiming the whole Empire for themselves ...I thot from Kid's account ...but I'm not real clear on it...
	11:32pm ultradamno: Though getting fired from The Cramps is like getting fired from The Fall, it just indicates you were there at all.
	11:33pm holland oatzier holland: Omelette du fromage!
	11:33pm clarke: oh yeah - hell there's no shame in getting fired from ANY band, really.
	11:33pm clarke: unless you just totally fucked it up.
	11:34pm Franco Twinkie: I will only say this: When I met Lux and Ivy, I thought they were so nice.
	11:34pm clarke: and congo did NOT!!
	11:34pm clarke: oh Ivy is such a sweetheart. lux could be a bit, uh, cruel, at times.
	11:35pm Franco Twinkie: He was nice to me because I was Kids friend I suspect.
	11:36pm ultradamno: I do love that studio outtake on, I think the Songs reissue, of him screaming at someone
	11:36pm clarke: and you deserved it! ha ha.
	11:36pm clarke: there was NO ONE nicer on tour than Ivy - EVER!! she was like a den-mother!!
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Let's be truthful. Back in the day people acted like such animals.
	11:38pm clarke: that's truth, right there.
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All very interesting.
	11:39pm clarke: i could never, for instance, figure out why the Mats took it out on some club owners!! insane some shit they would pull - and the guy is buying you booze!!
	11:39pm Franco Twinkie: I always got a pass, but I saw other people get brutalized. For what? It went both ways.
	11:40pm clarke: well, i was ALWAYS appreciative to the venues and employees - unless they deliberately tried to screw ya.
	11:41pm clarke: (like the Electric Banana in pittsburgh, hint hint).
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: I would never swim in that sewer again.
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's like (sort of) I got mocked once for helping someone up who had fallen in a mosh. ...Well, okay. These are the Cultures.
	11:43pm clarke: yeah, i just never understood a lot of that 'ethos'.
	11:44pm Aitch: Most Exalted Potentate of Love is just about the best track ever, sorry to blurt that, lurking
	11:45pm clarke: good blurt!!
	11:45pm ultradamno: Mosh pit culture definitely coarsened over time, when I first started going to shows picking someone up was assumed...after awhile skinheads with pull-tabs between their fingers became a thing
	11:45pm clarke: that is one of their most original moments, to be sure!
	11:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerknow - TheClash said Anger can be Power - but is it ? Sometimes I think Rawk is an unnaturally sustained Kundalini experience : trying to raise & tap sexuality & anger all the time. As much as I've exulted in it as long as I can remember - I wonder sometimes what kind of Yoga that is...
	11:46pm Franco Twinkie: in Los Angeles, the culture could be pretty harsh on people who didn't look right. Also, Slash Magazine perpetuated lots of crappy behavior gussied up as editorial content.
	11:47pm clarke: certainly anger can be power. i am not sure angst can, tho.
	11:47pm ultradamno: Though I worry Elon Musk heard Weekend On Mars and took it as a challenge
	11:47pm drew73: I recently went to Athens 40 Watt Club for the first time and got knocked sideways by some knucklehead. Not cool, Athens! Or maybe it's a young man's game and I'm aging out.
	11:48pm clarke: well, that is one of the GREATEST clubs in the world, so it was a stupid abberation, i hope.
	11:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah of course - when young - there's nothing but sexuality & anger anyhow - so if you can make Music & Culture out of it @ all you're getting ahead. Sort of.
	11:48pm Aitch: I stand as close as I can to the sound desk, away from any fray.
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: I never went to shows by the hardcore bands. Frankly I was scared to get my ass stomped.
	11:49pm clarke: i saw black flag in baton rouge and my feet never touched the floor for about fifteen minutes.
	11:50pm ultradamno: I remember a girl stage diving into me and breaking my glasses at a Discharge show...she felt SO BAD about it...this was still 84
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: As the scene changed, there were so many options.
	11:53pm northguineahills: The hardcore scene I frequented would always help anyone knocked over. and if any chucklefarks started to cause trouble, they would be 'escorted' out of whatever the venue might have been.
	11:53pm northguineahills: (of course, this was the 90s)
	11:54pm radioronan: Great show -thanks Nate! Cheers y'all!
	11:54pm northguineahills: new Roy Montgomery! thanks Nate K for the arson! cheers, y'all!
	11:54pm Aitch: it was all happening in the 80's didn't know if you were arthur or martha, so many flavours
	11:54pm clarke: glasses used to be so expensive!!
	11:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always felt the Hippie when amongst Punks, & the Punk when amongst Hippies ...probly none of which is relevant anymore anyhow.
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: All the zines reveled in showing picture of people beaten bloody. Why?
	11:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ NateK ~
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Nate.
	11:55pm clarke: thanks Nate sir!! great show and interview!!
	11:55pm N'Lo: Lovely show @djNick, thank you!
	11:56pm ultradamno: @Franco a lot of them seemed to have a pro-wrestling mag aesthetic
	11:57pm clarke: ta ya'll!! look fwd to hearing about the doc, later.
	11:57pm Nate K.: @N'Lo, they call me "Nate" ; )
	11:57pm clarke: they call me trinity...
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: Right. I was on the wrestling team in junior high. That cured me.
	11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Nate. Smoldering.
	11:59pm N'Lo: Ha! Ok then Nate!
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just saw 'ShangriLa' about RickRubin. He's into Wrestling as a reflection on (Un)reality...
