	9:18pm annette: remember a gal packing her pacer making a living at flea market
	9:18pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "(Better Make Way for My '82) AMC Pacer" by "Spados" The phrase 'wide small car' hints at what was wrong but neglects 'mostly glass'

	9:24pm Nate K.: Welcome, Luka!
	9:24pm Juli: <3
	9:30pm Blissland: evenin
	9:31pm Juli: I suppose I should go outside more
	9:31pm Juli: Get out more lol
	9:32pm Blissland: why is that
	9:32pm ultradamno: The Gremlin being the other notorious compact lemon of about a decade earlier...I preferred it over the Pacer though.
	9:33pm dug: thumbs up on the cheater slicks track!
	9:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Juli @9:31 wait, the place outside these here four walls? no way, man, that place is scary!
	9:33pm Blissland: ↳ Juli @9:31 why
	9:34pm estebangrande: ↳ ultradamno @9:32 yer stewin over this. i was a little too, admittedly
	9:34pm Blissland: I walked into my refrigerator about a week and a half ago, had a bandage over the laceration, and now I have an itchy rash where the adhesive was.
	9:35pm Nate K.: Welcome, Blissland.
	9:36pm Blissland: ↳ Nate K. @9:35 evenin
	9:36pm Juli: ↳ Blissland @9:33 To live more? UNsure haha
	9:36pm Juli: I du miss live music.
	9:36pm Blissland: I would go outside more if there was anything to do there.
	9:36pm ultradamno: Well, I'm of the age where these cars were regular features of my landscape
	9:37pm Blissland: ↳ Juli @9:36 me too I miss playing and going to concerts. And a bunch of other things.
	9:39pm estebangrande: ↳ Blissland @9:34 it's hindsight but you prolly should've removed that bandage like a week ago
	9:40pm Blissland: ↳ estebangrande @9:39 I had it on for a few days and then removed it a few days ago but it's still irritated.
	9:41pm Blissland: I miss the times when cars came in more than 4 crappy colors and there was no such thing as cell phones and you could see the best international recording acts for $7 or less
	9:41pm steveo: Hi Nate, sounding great
	9:44pm ultradamno: It's odd there are more songs (and at least one band name) about the Ford Cortina than the Gremlin...I think the latter were as many people's first car.
	9:44pm Yuri G: MORE OAR
	9:45pm luka: ↳ Song: "I Am Not Willing" by "Moby Grape" lovely
	9:45pm Blissland: I like the Bugs Bunny cartoon with the gremlin
	9:45pm prof.fuzz: evening y'all. what's burning?
	9:47pm Blissland: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:45 evening prof.
	9:48pm patrick321: Hey Nate and all Just popping in to say I’m really digging this set. Great stuff n
	9:48pm Nate K.: HI, Steve O. Thanks so much.
	9:49pm Nate K.: @Patrick321, appreciate that!
	9:49pm Nate K.: Welcome @prof.fuzz
	9:50pm prof.fuzz: hi blissland hi nate. good to be here tonight.
	9:54pm ?: Nice set
	9:55pm chresti: Yeah!
	9:56pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Who Will Be The Next In Line?" by "Sir Douglas Qu... Ska Kinks!
	9:56pm Juli: <3 All in due time.
	9:58pm Nate K.: ↳ chresti @9:56 @Chresti, Sire Douglas could truly do it all, I guess.
	9:58pm Blissland: I only remember Mendecino
	9:59pm ultradamno: Was that ska so much as tex-mex?
	10:01pm chresti: ↳ Blissland @9:58 I love Mendecino! Also tex-mex
	10:02pm Nate K.: @ultra, yes, I'd call it Tex-Mex, or, in that specific instance, "border wave."
	10:02pm Blissland: ↳ chresti @10:01 Yeah and the Mysterians too around the same time
	10:02pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "You Don't Love Me" by "The Starlettes" i only know the sister nancy version..
	10:02pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Nate K. @9:58 sir doug was the original howdy arabian renaissance man
	10:04pm Aitch: Hey Nate and crew
	10:06pm ultradamno: There's a running gag in the movie Renfield in the support group where a woman's boyfriend is into ska "is that the music that's mostly horns?". The police to the drug den and see graffiti "are these gang tags?" "I think they're ska lyrics" (shot reveals Specials lyrics on the wall)
	10:06pm Blissland: I suspected as much, Sam the Sham was also from Texas. But I can't see where ? was from. I thought he was Mexican.
	10:07pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:06 if i recall correctly, ? was from michigan
	10:07pm spodiodi: greetings, Nate and all
	10:08pm Blissland: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:07 yeah that's what wikipedia says, or they say the group formed there.
	10:09pm Blissland: did not know that
	10:10pm Blissland: I might miss being able to look up stuff on the internet if I went back to the '70s. But overall it would be worth it.
	10:11pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:10 i'd miss being able to stream WFMU from here in north howdy arabia
	10:12pm Blissland: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:11 I can see how that could be a problem.
	10:13pm Blissland: The signal was decent when I lived in manhattan.
	10:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Blissland @10:10 going back to the seventies would be problematic for me, as I didn't exist for most of that decade...
	10:14pm Christo: Let me first say great show! Why do you do this to me? I have to get up tomorrow. ✌️
	10:14pm Blissland: ↳ northguineahills @10:13 I don't think that would matter if you had a time machine.
	10:14pm prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @10:13 i'd fill you in once you got here...
	10:15pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:13 the fmu signal is pretty weak here on the back side of dallas...
	10:16pm Blissland: yeah it's only good for 20 miles or so
	10:16pm Blissland: Of course if you had a friend in the area you could have them record shows on cassette and send them to you.
	10:17pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:16 brilliant!
	10:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Blissland @10:14 ah, the wibbly-wobbly, timey-whimey kind, ok, I'd give it a go..
	10:19pm Blissland: That was the only way well into the 90s. I got one of the first Philips cd writers around 1997.
	10:19pm Blissland: It weighs about 7 lbs, cost $400, and recorded at 2x
	10:20pm Blissland: on scsi
	10:20pm Juli: ↳ Song: "Ritual Questions" by "Hot Gum" Lovely. Reminds me of Al my bf and I
	10:21pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:20 hi-tech!
	10:21pm Nate K.: ↳ Christo @10:14 Sorry, Christo! Appreciate it, though!
	10:22pm Blissland: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:21 Yeah. 2 years before that I got one of the first pentium machines. The cpu ran at 100 MHz, it had 8 MB of ram, and cost $1,800
	10:23pm Juli: Really fun show so far!!
	10:23pm Nate K.: Thanks @Juli!
	10:23pm Juli: ↳ Blissland @10:19 Wow.
	10:25pm Blissland: ↳ Juli @10:23 I still have those things in storage. Maybe one day they will be so antique that they will be worth something again.
	10:25pm Christo: Don’t worry 😉 Nate.
	10:27pm Blissland: It was really frustrating trying to do any kind of graphics on that machine.
	10:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:22 i remember spending about $400 to upgrade my mac plus to 4 megs of ram in 1990. i was living large with a 20 meg external hard drive!
	10:28pm Nate K.: ↳ Aitch @10:04 Welcome! Aitch
	10:28pm Blissland: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:27 wow I can't beat that. My first hdd in the pentium had all of 2 GB.
	10:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Nate and storage units!
	10:30pm Blissland: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:30 evenin
	10:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Blissland @10:25 actually, if in decent enough condition, they already are..(if in mint and still in the original packaging, even more so...jeje)
	10:32pm Blissland: ↳ northguineahills @10:31 I didn't know that. I might be able to get another car if I sold everything I don't need.
	10:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Blissland @10:30 Hi there. You lost your login again? I thought I saw you with an avatar the day before.
	10:34pm Blissland: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:33 Ken no, I didn't have an image. My account is ok now. Thanks for asking.
	10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Blissland @10:34 Ah, I see that now. I can't keep up. Haha.
	10:35pm Blissland: me neither.
	10:36pm Nate K.: Welcome @KFHP
	10:36pm northguineahills: i remember in 1998, MS went in on terraserver, which had 97% of the US coverage w/ B&W orthoimagery (which by 2000 had color imagery, and higher resolution for urban areas). This was 7 years before google maps. This, of course, later became Bing Maps...
	10:43pm ?: Just learned that NBC News anchor Lester Holt guested on bass just now at the John Fogerty show at Radio City
	10:49pm Nate K.: ↳ @10:43 I feel like I wouldn't be especially stoked to see that. Lol.
	10:50pm Juli: ↳ Blissland @10:25 Prolly!
	10:50pm ?: ↳ Nate K. @10:49 Holt played bass with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, George Shearing, Red Garland and quite a few others
	10:51pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Skippy" by "Honor Role" did someone just mention lawn darts???
	10:51pm ?: Sam concert: Fogerty played "Centerfield" with a baseball bat-shaped guitar
	10:51pm northguineahills: ↳ @10:50 i did not know that....
	10:51pm Blissland: That's all very interesting.
	10:52pm Nate K.: ↳ @10:50 Wow, OK. That definitely changes my take on it. I had absolutely no idea. That's awesome.
	10:52pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:51 my favorite find at garage sales as a kid in the 80s (as they were already illegal)
	10:52pm prof.fuzz: ↳ @10:51 bonus points if the drummer pounded on a trash can with a bat while wearing an astros cap!
	10:52pm ?: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:52 LOL
	10:52pm ultradamno: Twister and lawn darts....it's quite a game night combo
	10:53pm Blissland: I'm sure Lester Holt is making tons more money at nbc than playing bass.
	10:53pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "Faucet Head" by "Nice Strong Arm" Saw these guys opening for Butthole Surfers at the Cat Club in '87.
	10:54pm prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @10:52 supposedly you can buy the parts on the dark web to make your own... we debuted our song about lawn darts on the efd show in january. recording it for the new album next month. yeeehaw!
	10:56pm Nate K.: ↳ Blissland @10:53 Ha! Yup. But the Jazz Messengers has way more prestige in my book.
	10:56pm Blissland: ↳ Nate K. @10:56 Nate absolutely.
	10:57pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:54 sweet diggums!
	10:57pm Lawrence: Speaking of sports in pop, Nick Drake was captain of his high school rugby team and his record for the 100-yard dash at the same school still hasn’t been beaten.
	10:58pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Lawrence @10:57 cool! gibby haynes was a star basketball player at a high school here in dallas
	10:58pm Blissland: Poor Nick Drake. What was his problem?
	10:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Lawrence @10:57 b/c they now run a 100m dash?
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo !
	11:00pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:00 greetings.
	11:01pm northguineahills: nick drake was tall, so I can see him being a good rugger in secondary
	11:03pm Blissland: He might have felt better if he had hung in there.
	11:03pm Blissland: I definitely understand the Badfinger guys though.
	11:09pm Nate K.: ↳ Lawrence @10:57 And don't forget Robert Pollard's no-hitter at Wright State.
	11:09pm Nate K.: ↳ @10:51 I don't get it?
	11:10pm ultradamno: www.weareclassicrockers.com...
	11:12pm Nate K.: ↳ Nate K. @11:09 I'm kidding. Quite an on-the-nose stage prop, but why not?
	11:12pm Blissland: Feeling kind of disjointed now.
	11:12pm ultradamno: It doubles as heckler control
	11:13pm ultradamno: (I guess any guitar could, but that one is less unwieldy than most)
	11:14pm prof.fuzz: ↳ ultradamno @11:13 the DEVO 2x4 guitar could also be effective in that case
	11:16pm ultradamno: Then there's this 2.bp.blogspot.com...
	11:16pm Blissland: I think Lydia Lunch claimed to have coined the term no wave
	11:18pm ultradamno: I know Suicide gave her the name Lunch
	11:19pm Blissland: I didn't know that. But I guess it fits.
	11:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LesPaul said when he was helping invent the Electric Gittar - he just mounted it onto a rail of wood - as no other resonator body was actually necessary ...& when he brought it Live - people were amused or ignored him ...so he sawed a Gittar in half & glued the sides to it - & then people thot it was amazing. He said he realized then people listen with their eyes as much as anything... Actually Gittars have the bodies to resonate & horns to balance weight & contours to fit to us...
	11:20pm Blissland: That was a cool scene too. The east village in the late 70s and early 80s
	11:21pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:19 did the neck come from an acoustic guitar?
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:21 I'd guess probly.
	11:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:21 Tho Les was quite a handy fellow & could've made it ...he moved on quickly we may presume...
	11:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:23 / had it made...
	11:24pm Blissland: I would guess that he would not have wasted much time with things that had already been invented.
	11:25pm ultradamno: I like the homemade one Seasick Steve uses sometimes, I'm sure how effective a weapon it would make though static.standard.co.uk...
	11:26pm Blissland: Without Les Paul there would be no Heathen Shame.
	11:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:24 True (I think he's the only person in both the Inventors' & the Rawk Halls of Fame or some such) - point here being he wouldn't have played that crude one too long before advancing towards what we now know as the LesPaul gittar.
	11:28pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:27 Yeah. It would be interesting to see the progression of that. As with multi-track recording.
	11:29pm ?: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:58 Les Paul was also a multi-track recording pioneer
	11:29pm Blissland: I think his multitrack basically started out as a sampler.
	11:30pm Mike W and Dusty: Without major stars there would be no Heathen Shame
	11:30pm Eric the Hat: Has an endless nameless vibe to it
	11:31pm Eric the Hat: Heather Shame that is…
	11:32pm Eric the Hat: Also Nate K. Thank you so much as always. Rarely get to chime in as I’m working through yr show. But it’s always a privilege.
	11:33pm Nate K.: Thanks, @ErictheHat!
	11:36pm Juli: Stilll listening:::
	11:37pm Blissland: ↳ Juli @11:36 : )
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ultradamno @11:25 CigarBox Gittar ! ...& I don't even know really how to maintain my factory-made paddles for myself...
	11:40pm Juli: Semi embarrassed I let out a yeeyuh tonight during Hip Hop hour:::the beat was so good tho. Lol :(
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Idea of the Greater Age" by "Sun Ra & His Ark... ...just like this is badass with somebody's bare hands & a couple tubs...
	11:42pm Juli: So many stars tonight:: both outside and in the radio::::::: I want to go outside and look but it's not summer yet.
	11:42pm Blissland: ↳ Juli @11:40 Never be embarrassed for yeeyuh.
	11:43pm Juli: ↳ Blissland @11:42 Lmao.
	11:46pm doctorjazz: Here for the finale, hi!
	11:49pm Juli: I should sleep I work tomorrow morning but I feel like doing things like music hahah Anyway TY Nate K.!!! Tyy Alll Love and ecstasies
	11:49pm chresti: Thanks Nate! Extry fine show!
	11:49pm Harry Corvair: Rhythm, lyrics, vocals, melody Great song Great show That's Think About Living by The Nightingales (Out of True)
	11:50pm Blissland: Nitey nite Juli Thanks Nate
	11:53pm prof.fuzz: thx nate!
	11:55pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Children of Sound" by "Kenneth Higney" Jeeps!
	11:56pm Erik/VermonT: Oh my - wrapping up with Kenneth Higney ! Whoa .
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ NateK ~
	11:58pm David Shortell: ↳ Blissland @9:45 "Falling Hare" (1943) by the great Bob Clampett. The ending's reference to wartime A-card fuel rationing puzzled me as a young one.
	11:59pm Blissland: ↳ David Shortell @11:58 Oh yeah, when they ran out of gas.

Burn It Down! with Nate K.: Playlist from April 28, 2023

View Nate K.'s profile

Music for the revolution in my head: choogling punks; power pop, both skinny-tied and long-haired; soul shouters and girl groups; bubblegum and acid rock; global fuzz; weirdos and outsiders, and the Weirdos and the Outsiders; Archie Shepp and J. Geils. Plus, live bands.

Upcoming events:

Fri. Dec 6th, 9pm - Midnight: Feeling Figures (More info...)
Montreal's Feeling Figures are led by the songwriting duo of Zakary Slax and Kay Moon. The band's second LP, Everything Around You, was recently co-released by K and Perennial, and while it harkens to the sounds of indie rock's golden age, the album and the band aren't that simple to pin down, as Slax and Moon's distinctive songcraft rise above any easy genre signifier. The band dropped by WFMU on their recent East Coast swing, and with a couple of extra Retail Simps in tow (Zak also does time in that band), a good time was had. Tune in Friday, December 6 to check it out.

April 28, 2023: Never doubting; always faithful.

	9:16pm Nate K.: Welcome, @DonJuan, @Chresti, @estebangrande, Uncle Michael and all!
	9:18pm annette: remember a gal packing her pacer making a living at flea market
	9:18pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "(Better Make Way for My '82) AMC Pacer" by "Spados" The phrase 'wide small car' hints at what was wrong but neglects 'mostly glass'
	9:22pm luka: yo yo hey hello
	9:24pm Nate K.: Welcome, Luka!
	9:24pm Juli: <3
	9:30pm Blissland: evenin
	9:31pm Juli: I suppose I should go outside more
	9:31pm Juli: Get out more lol
	9:32pm Blissland: why is that
	9:32pm ultradamno: The Gremlin being the other notorious compact lemon of about a decade earlier...I preferred it over the Pacer though.
	9:33pm dug: thumbs up on the cheater slicks track!
	9:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Juli @9:31 wait, the place outside these here four walls? no way, man, that place is scary!
	9:33pm Blissland: ↳ Juli @9:31 why
	9:34pm estebangrande: ↳ ultradamno @9:32 yer stewin over this. i was a little too, admittedly
	9:34pm Blissland: I walked into my refrigerator about a week and a half ago, had a bandage over the laceration, and now I have an itchy rash where the adhesive was.
	9:35pm Nate K.: Welcome, Blissland.
	9:36pm Blissland: ↳ Nate K. @9:35 evenin
	9:36pm Juli: ↳ Blissland @9:33 To live more? UNsure haha
	9:36pm Juli: I du miss live music.
	9:36pm Blissland: I would go outside more if there was anything to do there.
	9:36pm ultradamno: Well, I'm of the age where these cars were regular features of my landscape
	9:37pm Blissland: ↳ Juli @9:36 me too I miss playing and going to concerts. And a bunch of other things.
	9:39pm estebangrande: ↳ Blissland @9:34 it's hindsight but you prolly should've removed that bandage like a week ago
	9:40pm Blissland: ↳ estebangrande @9:39 I had it on for a few days and then removed it a few days ago but it's still irritated.
	9:41pm Blissland: I miss the times when cars came in more than 4 crappy colors and there was no such thing as cell phones and you could see the best international recording acts for $7 or less
	9:41pm steveo: Hi Nate, sounding great
	9:44pm ultradamno: It's odd there are more songs (and at least one band name) about the Ford Cortina than the Gremlin...I think the latter were as many people's first car.
	9:44pm Yuri G: MORE OAR
	9:45pm luka: ↳ Song: "I Am Not Willing" by "Moby Grape" lovely
	9:45pm Blissland: I like the Bugs Bunny cartoon with the gremlin
	9:45pm prof.fuzz: evening y'all. what's burning?
	9:47pm Blissland: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:45 evening prof.
	9:48pm patrick321: Hey Nate and all Just popping in to say I’m really digging this set. Great stuff n
	9:48pm Nate K.: HI, Steve O. Thanks so much.
	9:49pm Nate K.: @Patrick321, appreciate that!
	9:49pm Nate K.: Welcome @prof.fuzz
	9:50pm prof.fuzz: hi blissland hi nate. good to be here tonight.
	9:54pm ?: Nice set
	9:55pm chresti: Yeah!
	9:56pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Who Will Be The Next In Line?" by "Sir Douglas Qu... Ska Kinks!
	9:56pm Juli: <3 All in due time.
	9:58pm Nate K.: ↳ chresti @9:56 @Chresti, Sire Douglas could truly do it all, I guess.
	9:58pm Blissland: I only remember Mendecino
	9:59pm ultradamno: Was that ska so much as tex-mex?
	10:01pm chresti: ↳ Blissland @9:58 I love Mendecino! Also tex-mex
	10:02pm Nate K.: @ultra, yes, I'd call it Tex-Mex, or, in that specific instance, "border wave."
	10:02pm Blissland: ↳ chresti @10:01 Yeah and the Mysterians too around the same time
	10:02pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "You Don't Love Me" by "The Starlettes" i only know the sister nancy version..
	10:02pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Nate K. @9:58 sir doug was the original howdy arabian renaissance man
	10:04pm Aitch: Hey Nate and crew
	10:06pm ultradamno: There's a running gag in the movie Renfield in the support group where a woman's boyfriend is into ska "is that the music that's mostly horns?". The police to the drug den and see graffiti "are these gang tags?" "I think they're ska lyrics" (shot reveals Specials lyrics on the wall)
	10:06pm Blissland: I suspected as much, Sam the Sham was also from Texas. But I can't see where ? was from. I thought he was Mexican.
	10:07pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:06 if i recall correctly, ? was from michigan
	10:07pm spodiodi: greetings, Nate and all
	10:08pm Blissland: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:07 yeah that's what wikipedia says, or they say the group formed there.
	10:09pm Blissland: did not know that
	10:10pm Blissland: I might miss being able to look up stuff on the internet if I went back to the '70s. But overall it would be worth it.
	10:11pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:10 i'd miss being able to stream WFMU from here in north howdy arabia
	10:12pm Blissland: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:11 I can see how that could be a problem.
	10:13pm Blissland: The signal was decent when I lived in manhattan.
	10:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Blissland @10:10 going back to the seventies would be problematic for me, as I didn't exist for most of that decade...
	10:14pm Christo: Let me first say great show! Why do you do this to me? I have to get up tomorrow. ✌️
	10:14pm Blissland: ↳ northguineahills @10:13 I don't think that would matter if you had a time machine.
	10:14pm prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @10:13 i'd fill you in once you got here...
	10:15pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:13 the fmu signal is pretty weak here on the back side of dallas...
	10:16pm Blissland: yeah it's only good for 20 miles or so
	10:16pm Blissland: Of course if you had a friend in the area you could have them record shows on cassette and send them to you.
	10:17pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:16 brilliant!
	10:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Blissland @10:14 ah, the wibbly-wobbly, timey-whimey kind, ok, I'd give it a go..
	10:19pm Blissland: That was the only way well into the 90s. I got one of the first Philips cd writers around 1997.
	10:19pm Blissland: It weighs about 7 lbs, cost $400, and recorded at 2x
	10:20pm Blissland: on scsi
	10:20pm Juli: ↳ Song: "Ritual Questions" by "Hot Gum" Lovely. Reminds me of Al my bf and I
	10:21pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:20 hi-tech!
	10:21pm Nate K.: ↳ Christo @10:14 Sorry, Christo! Appreciate it, though!
	10:22pm Blissland: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:21 Yeah. 2 years before that I got one of the first pentium machines. The cpu ran at 100 MHz, it had 8 MB of ram, and cost $1,800
	10:23pm Juli: Really fun show so far!!
	10:23pm Nate K.: Thanks @Juli!
	10:23pm Juli: ↳ Blissland @10:19 Wow.
	10:25pm Blissland: ↳ Juli @10:23 I still have those things in storage. Maybe one day they will be so antique that they will be worth something again.
	10:25pm Christo: Don’t worry 😉 Nate.
	10:27pm Blissland: It was really frustrating trying to do any kind of graphics on that machine.
	10:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Blissland @10:22 i remember spending about $400 to upgrade my mac plus to 4 megs of ram in 1990. i was living large with a 20 meg external hard drive!
	10:28pm Nate K.: ↳ Aitch @10:04 Welcome! Aitch
	10:28pm Blissland: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:27 wow I can't beat that. My first hdd in the pentium had all of 2 GB.
	10:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Nate and storage units!
	10:30pm Blissland: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:30 evenin
	10:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Blissland @10:25 actually, if in decent enough condition, they already are..(if in mint and still in the original packaging, even more so...jeje)
	10:32pm Blissland: ↳ northguineahills @10:31 I didn't know that. I might be able to get another car if I sold everything I don't need.
	10:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Blissland @10:30 Hi there. You lost your login again? I thought I saw you with an avatar the day before.
	10:34pm Blissland: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:33 Ken no, I didn't have an image. My account is ok now. Thanks for asking.
	10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Blissland @10:34 Ah, I see that now. I can't keep up. Haha.
	10:35pm Blissland: me neither.
	10:36pm Nate K.: Welcome @KFHP
	10:36pm northguineahills: i remember in 1998, MS went in on terraserver, which had 97% of the US coverage w/ B&W orthoimagery (which by 2000 had color imagery, and higher resolution for urban areas). This was 7 years before google maps. This, of course, later became Bing Maps...
	10:43pm ?: Just learned that NBC News anchor Lester Holt guested on bass just now at the John Fogerty show at Radio City
	10:49pm Nate K.: ↳ @10:43 I feel like I wouldn't be especially stoked to see that. Lol.
	10:50pm Juli: ↳ Blissland @10:25 Prolly!
	10:50pm ?: ↳ Nate K. @10:49 Holt played bass with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, George Shearing, Red Garland and quite a few others
	10:51pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Skippy" by "Honor Role" did someone just mention lawn darts???
	10:51pm ?: Sam concert: Fogerty played "Centerfield" with a baseball bat-shaped guitar
	10:51pm northguineahills: ↳ @10:50 i did not know that....
	10:51pm Blissland: That's all very interesting.
	10:52pm Nate K.: ↳ @10:50 Wow, OK. That definitely changes my take on it. I had absolutely no idea. That's awesome.
	10:52pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:51 my favorite find at garage sales as a kid in the 80s (as they were already illegal)
	10:52pm prof.fuzz: ↳ @10:51 bonus points if the drummer pounded on a trash can with a bat while wearing an astros cap!
	10:52pm ?: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:52 LOL
	10:52pm ultradamno: Twister and lawn darts....it's quite a game night combo
	10:53pm Blissland: I'm sure Lester Holt is making tons more money at nbc than playing bass.
	10:53pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "Faucet Head" by "Nice Strong Arm" Saw these guys opening for Butthole Surfers at the Cat Club in '87.
	10:54pm prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @10:52 supposedly you can buy the parts on the dark web to make your own... we debuted our song about lawn darts on the efd show in january. recording it for the new album next month. yeeehaw!
	10:56pm Nate K.: ↳ Blissland @10:53 Ha! Yup. But the Jazz Messengers has way more prestige in my book.
	10:56pm Blissland: ↳ Nate K. @10:56 Nate absolutely.
	10:57pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:54 sweet diggums!
	10:57pm Lawrence: Speaking of sports in pop, Nick Drake was captain of his high school rugby team and his record for the 100-yard dash at the same school still hasn’t been beaten.
	10:58pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Lawrence @10:57 cool! gibby haynes was a star basketball player at a high school here in dallas
	10:58pm Blissland: Poor Nick Drake. What was his problem?
	10:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Lawrence @10:57 b/c they now run a 100m dash?
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo !
	11:00pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:00 greetings.
	11:01pm northguineahills: nick drake was tall, so I can see him being a good rugger in secondary
	11:03pm Blissland: He might have felt better if he had hung in there.
	11:03pm Blissland: I definitely understand the Badfinger guys though.
	11:09pm Nate K.: ↳ Lawrence @10:57 And don't forget Robert Pollard's no-hitter at Wright State.
	11:09pm Nate K.: ↳ @10:51 I don't get it?
	11:10pm ultradamno: www.weareclassicrockers.com...
	11:12pm Nate K.: ↳ Nate K. @11:09 I'm kidding. Quite an on-the-nose stage prop, but why not?
	11:12pm Blissland: Feeling kind of disjointed now.
	11:12pm ultradamno: It doubles as heckler control
	11:13pm ultradamno: (I guess any guitar could, but that one is less unwieldy than most)
	11:14pm prof.fuzz: ↳ ultradamno @11:13 the DEVO 2x4 guitar could also be effective in that case
	11:16pm ultradamno: Then there's this 2.bp.blogspot.com...
	11:16pm Blissland: I think Lydia Lunch claimed to have coined the term no wave
	11:18pm ultradamno: I know Suicide gave her the name Lunch
	11:19pm Blissland: I didn't know that. But I guess it fits.
	11:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LesPaul said when he was helping invent the Electric Gittar - he just mounted it onto a rail of wood - as no other resonator body was actually necessary ...& when he brought it Live - people were amused or ignored him ...so he sawed a Gittar in half & glued the sides to it - & then people thot it was amazing. He said he realized then people listen with their eyes as much as anything... Actually Gittars have the bodies to resonate & horns to balance weight & contours to fit to us...
	11:20pm Blissland: That was a cool scene too. The east village in the late 70s and early 80s
	11:21pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:19 did the neck come from an acoustic guitar?
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:21 I'd guess probly.
	11:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:21 Tho Les was quite a handy fellow & could've made it ...he moved on quickly we may presume...
	11:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:23 / had it made...
	11:24pm Blissland: I would guess that he would not have wasted much time with things that had already been invented.
	11:25pm ultradamno: I like the homemade one Seasick Steve uses sometimes, I'm sure how effective a weapon it would make though static.standard.co.uk...
	11:26pm Blissland: Without Les Paul there would be no Heathen Shame.
	11:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:24 True (I think he's the only person in both the Inventors' & the Rawk Halls of Fame or some such) - point here being he wouldn't have played that crude one too long before advancing towards what we now know as the LesPaul gittar.
	11:28pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:27 Yeah. It would be interesting to see the progression of that. As with multi-track recording.
	11:29pm ?: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:58 Les Paul was also a multi-track recording pioneer
	11:29pm Blissland: I think his multitrack basically started out as a sampler.
	11:30pm Mike W and Dusty: Without major stars there would be no Heathen Shame
	11:30pm Eric the Hat: Has an endless nameless vibe to it
	11:31pm Eric the Hat: Heather Shame that is…
	11:32pm Eric the Hat: Also Nate K. Thank you so much as always. Rarely get to chime in as I’m working through yr show. But it’s always a privilege.
	11:33pm Nate K.: Thanks, @ErictheHat!
	11:36pm Juli: Stilll listening:::
	11:37pm Blissland: ↳ Juli @11:36 : )
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ultradamno @11:25 CigarBox Gittar ! ...& I don't even know really how to maintain my factory-made paddles for myself...
	11:40pm Juli: Semi embarrassed I let out a yeeyuh tonight during Hip Hop hour:::the beat was so good tho. Lol :(
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Idea of the Greater Age" by "Sun Ra & His Ark... ...just like this is badass with somebody's bare hands & a couple tubs...
	11:42pm Juli: So many stars tonight:: both outside and in the radio::::::: I want to go outside and look but it's not summer yet.
	11:42pm Blissland: ↳ Juli @11:40 Never be embarrassed for yeeyuh.
	11:43pm Juli: ↳ Blissland @11:42 Lmao.
	11:46pm doctorjazz: Here for the finale, hi!
	11:49pm Juli: I should sleep I work tomorrow morning but I feel like doing things like music hahah Anyway TY Nate K.!!! Tyy Alll Love and ecstasies
	11:49pm chresti: Thanks Nate! Extry fine show!
	11:49pm Harry Corvair: Rhythm, lyrics, vocals, melody Great song Great show That's Think About Living by The Nightingales (Out of True)
	11:50pm Blissland: Nitey nite Juli Thanks Nate
	11:53pm prof.fuzz: thx nate!
	11:55pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Children of Sound" by "Kenneth Higney" Jeeps!
	11:56pm Erik/VermonT: Oh my - wrapping up with Kenneth Higney ! Whoa .
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ NateK ~
	11:58pm David Shortell: ↳ Blissland @9:45 "Falling Hare" (1943) by the great Bob Clampett. The ending's reference to wartime A-card fuel rationing puzzled me as a young one.
	11:59pm Blissland: ↳ David Shortell @11:58 Oh yeah, when they ran out of gas.
