	11:26am Soule: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:25 Hey, good to see you, Andrew.
	11:26am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Soule @11:26 You too.
	🥁 11:26am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Nothin' In This World Can Stop Me Worryin' `Bout ... This album gets slagged off for being slapdash. There's great songs on it imo.
	11:26am Bob Brainen: Soule!
	🥁 11:29am chresti: ↳ wmfromD @11:26 Agree!
	🥁 11:35am chresti: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:23 That goes with my dream about the Beatles spending the night at our house wearing red longjohns!

	11:37am Soule: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @11:35 Hear, hear!
	11:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Bob / Pete and Kinks fans!
	11:38am Franco Twinkie: Are You Experienced was official released in September of 1967, but advanced copies were appearing in hippie record stores in San Francisco the previous month, is where I saw it. Oh yeah, it was also on Reprise.
	11:39am sydnius: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:38 got mine from hipster.com
	11:40am DJpeterDE: Back home after walking around to these 3 minute gems! re: mono vs stereo, Andy Miller's book in the 33-1/3 series (a great song-by-song discussion) is very good at talking about differences between mono and stereo mixes in the Village Green era (including contemporaneous singles like "Days"). www.bloomsbury.com...
	11:41am Gerry from Miami: @dan. Early use of harpsichord on rock records-------Summertime, Summertime by the Jamies(1958), For Your Love-Yardbirds, Fixing a Hole-Beatles, Play With Fire-Rolling Stones, Love Me Two Times-Doors, Scarborough Fair-Simon and Garfunkel, Walk Away Renee-Left Banke
	11:41am Bob Brainen: Ken From Hyde Park!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: DJpeterDE! Thanks for link.
	11:43am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:41 She Comes In Colors by Love also features a harpsichord.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	11:43am DJpeterDE: Trigger warning: pedantry. I believe Ray and Dave favored the Welsh pronunciation ("davis"). Ditto the great Liverpool filmmaker Terence Davies.
	11:45am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Victoria" by "The Kinks" Victoooooooooooriah!
	11:45am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Victoria" by "The Kinks" The Fall does a fabulous cover of this.
	11:45am DJpeterDE: "'Though I'm poor, I am free." guts me every time!
	🥁 11:46am PT: ↳ DJpeterDE @11:43 DJpeterDE: Pedantry welcome here! "Dav-EEZ" is the pronunciation us American oldsters are kind of used to, I guess. In the UK "Davis" is favored.
	11:48am DJpeterDE: ↳ PT @11:46 I mean, that's what it looks like. But I think they were the kind of guys to not correct you, to answer to anything in the general neighborhood. A skill we've all developed thanks to Starbucks baristas and social media handles.
	🥁 11:48am PT: Actually, the US phonetic should be "DAVE-eez". And with that, we close out our UK/US "2 countries separated by a common language" segment.
	11:49am DJpeterDE: ↳ PT @11:48 LOL
	11:51am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:45 What a great f*cking catalogue!
	11:53am Gerry from Miami: Never noticed that French horn in the middle of "She's Got Everything" before. Wasn't John Entwistle of the Who doing a guest shot, was it?
	11:54am Roberto: ↳ DJpeterDE @11:43 I've heard a clip with Dave where he insists it's "Day-veez" but maybe he was just trolling his brother.
	11:55am Frank Zaatar: ↳ DJpeterDE @11:45 A British artist named Jeremy Dellar produced posters with the line "I was born, lucky me, in a land that I love" in English, Hebrew and Arabic. (The Hebrew was printed backwards.)
	🥁 11:55am PT: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:53 No, it's an alternate version (different vocal, too). Bob made an Entwistle quip too! Great minds and all that...
	11:55am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:51 This must be Shangri-La that we`re living in.
	11:55am dan: I think the world is due for the definitive Kinks Documentary that will show the entire history of the group. Almost like another Beatles Anthology.
	11:56am Gerry from Miami: I believe "See My Friends" was the song the Kinks sang on their first appearance on that late 60s American TV rock extravaganza show, "Shindig."
	11:57am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ dan @11:55 It`as bloody long overdue! At least Raynond Douglas got an Order Of The British Empire out of it.
	11:57am DJpeterDE: ↳ Frank Zaatar @11:55 Thanks for the head's up (... googling...) unoriginalsins.co.uk...
	11:58am ianm: Thanks for compiling this show -- brilliant
	11:58am Roberto: Have you all heard that "Celebrity Tracheotomies" song? It starts out quite irreverent but concludes with a rather moving nod to Ray and his possible inspiration for Waterloo Sunset.
	🥁 11:58am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Fancy" by "The Kinks" Early psych.
	11:59am Frank Zaatar: There was an exhibit of this work at the Hessel Art Museum at Bard a number of years ago.
	12:01pm Gerry from Miami: Paul Weller and the Jam did a version of "David Watts" that was "fab."
	12:01pm doctorjazz: Gotta shop for dinner, take the show along on headphones, can't bear to Missy too much...
	12:03pm dan: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:57 Better than that, he got a knighthood recently.
	12:06pm Andrew in Toronto: Here is Ray Davies newsletter sign-up: www.raydavies.info
	12:07pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Tired of Waiting for You" by "The Kinks" This was likely the first Kinks song I ever heard. I liked it!
	12:07pm bigplanetnoise: Sounding sooo great, Bob and Pete!!
	12:08pm ianm: ↳ Song: "Tired of Waiting for You" by "The Kinks" this song is perfect
	12:09pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ bigplanetnoise @12:07 Afternoon Bob!
	12:09pm bigplanetnoise: Hi Andrew!
	12:09pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:07 Well, maybe it was Lola, but Tired of Waiting was probably the first Kinks song I heard that made me sit up and take notice.
	12:09pm Bob Brainen: bigplanetnoise, thanks!
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: ianm!
	12:20pm Kevin in Doomsville: Been AWOL from the Drummer stream this month. Great to return to find Bob and Peter spinning The Kinks.
	12:21pm Bob Brainen: Kevin in Doomsville, welcome back!
	12:21pm Gerry from Miami: Thought I would mention the passing 3 weeks ago of former Kink(1970-78), John Gosling.
	12:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:21 This was mostly overlooked.
	🥁 12:23pm wmfromD: I may be wrong, but I believe "Percy" is the last Pye release.
	12:25pm Gerry from Miami: And don't forget that the original Kinks bassist, PETE QUAIFE, passed away in 2010.
	🥁 12:26pm PT: ↳ wmfromD @12:23 You are correct, it was Percy. Big oops here.
	12:27pm dan: @Gerry And also the passing of 80s era Kinks members Jim Rodford and Ian Gibbons
	12:27pm Doug Schulkind: Happy 25th Showiversary, Bob & Pete!
	12:28pm Bob Brainen: Doug Schulkind, thanks!
	🥁 12:29pm PT: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:27 Thanks, Doug! "Showiversary", portmanteau of the Month!
	12:32pm dan: Village Green could’ve been a success from the beginning had it not been released on the same day as The White Album and Electric Ladyland
	🥁 12:34pm wmfromD: There was no stereo version of Village Green released in the States. Only mono.
	12:37pm dan: The opening of Don’t You Fret sounds like a combination of Country Music and Motown.
	12:49pm dan: For a film about a penis transplant, its theme is very profound and anthemic.
	🥁 12:50pm PT: ↳ dan @12:49 @dan: And antithetical!
	1:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" i'm just here for the frogs.... /well, bob & pete as well
	1:07pm Bob Brainen: northguineahills!
	1:10pm dan: Just read that TV legend Bob Barker passed away this morning at age 99.
	1:11pm Gerry from Miami: "Waterloo Sunset" is THE most perfect Kinks song of all, IMHO. Can never get enough of it!
	1:12pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Waterloo Sunset" by "The Kinks" The tracheotomy connection is that Ray was at least partly inspired to write Waterloo Sunset by his lengthy hospitalization as a teen.
	1:13pm Roberto: Hoping "Living Room Light" is somewhere in the queue.
	🥁 1:14pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ dan @1:10 Aww. Wasn’t he an anti-fur advocate?
	1:17pm dan: @(Mr) Bill Yes. He protested one of the Miss America pageants because the contestants were modeling in fur coats.
	1:18pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Strangers" by "The Kinks" Such a moving song. Am I right that it's a rare expression of brotherly love?
	1:18pm Roberto: ↳ (Mr) Bill @1:14 Yes, Bob B. (the other one) was a major animal rights advocate.
	1:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Waterloo Sunset" by "The Kinks" it took 10 mins for my star to appear for waterloo sunset only find it's only five months old. Must have clicked on it before w/ different formatting...
	1:23pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:18 It's sure used for that purpose in Darjeeling Ltd!
	1:23pm Dean: My public library had a copy of Kink Kronikles, which was my deep introduction to the band. Probably as good a starting point as any.
	1:24pm Gerry from Miami: Thank God "little brother" Kink, DAVE DAVIES, left us "Strangers," a magnificent song. It has been covered a number of times and used in television and film productions. Ray wasn't the only super-talent in this band!
	1:25pm dan: Whenever I think of Dedicated Follower, I think of the scene in “In The Name of the Father” where Daniel Day-Lewis is strutting down the street.
	1:27pm ?: The quality of material this band produced in six years is staggering
	1:27pm PT: SUCH a treasure trove was Kronikles, not to mention the following year’s Great Lost Kinks Album. And henceforth almost every archival release was referred to as “The Great Lost…”
	1:30pm CalZone!: BB and PT...I've been listening the whole time and loving every minute!
	1:30pm Bob Brainen: CalZone! (!) Thanks man!
	1:38pm Dean: Huh, I thought this was a Van Halen tune.
	1:40pm Gerry from Miami: I can remember reading rock critic John Mendelssohn's review of "Kink Kronikles" in Rollng Stone and running out to buy it so I could hear all those "lost" tracks he raved about.
	1:40pm DJpeterDE: ↳ Dean @1:38 I still remember the Nissan commercial fondly: www.youtube.com...
	1:40pm dan: When Ray Davies got shot in New Orleans years ago, the Howard Stern like program on Q1043 hosted by Leslie “The Radio Chick” Gold did a spoof by doing “You Really Shot Me” (boom) (boom). Classless but funny at the same time.
	1:40pm doctorjazz: Been here for pretty muvh the whole show (whilc shopping), been great (Now we're hiting the BIG HITS!)
	1:41pm northguineahills: ↳ DJpeterDE @1:40 ha! me too!
	1:42pm ATLDondi: Thanks for a brilliant show, Bob & Pete. God Save the Kinks
	1:42pm Dean: Of LVPATMPO, Mendelsohn wrote, "This just may be the best Kinks album yet." Never saw that commercial.
	1:42pm northguineahills: closest i got to the kinks was seeing dave davies at the WTC on july 31, 2001. ray came on for one song.
	1:45pm dan: Great show as usual
	🥁 1:46pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Lola" by "Kinks" One has known for five decades what the twist is, yet one still can’t help but listen whenever “Lola” comes on.
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the great tribute, Bob and Pete!
	1:48pm Frank Zaatar: Shangri-la has a lot of las.
	1:49pm Dean: Did Ray attend "la" school?
	1:49pm Soule: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:40 Gerry, haha! Mendelssohn shouldn't have reviewed "Kinks Kronikles" - he compiled the album and wrote the liner notes.
	1:50pm northguineahills: a floydian slip, if you will...
	1:50pm Dave the Spazz: Great show--thanks for doing this!
	1:51pm sydnius: or the Architechtural Abdabs?
	1:51pm Franco Twinkie: I worked on an English TV commercial for some kind of ice cream bar. They got The Kinks to re-record Apeman as a jingle for the product. It was looped constantly on the set. The director was David Bailey, the photographer who documented Swinging London in the 1960's. He had malaria during the shoot, and was seriously ill. Of all the horrible/hilarious commercials I worked on, this one really took the cake.
	1:52pm Frank Zaatar: Not a clinker in the mix. Which says a lot about the Kinks and a lot about Bob and Pete. Thanks for a magical 3 hours.
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:51 Great story Franco.
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: This show has been one for the ages! Thanks Bob, and Pete.
	1:53pm northguineahills: "who are the kinks?" obviously said by none of my wfmu friends (and i'd hope my irl friends as well)
	🥁 1:54pm wmfromD: God save the Kinks! Thanks Bob and Pete!
	1:54pm northguineahills: pete, bob, thanks. t'was awesome. no kink shaming here!
	🥁 1:54pm (Mr) Bill: The commentary was as top-notch as the music. I’m glad to have been unable to listen last week rather than today.
	1:54pm Soule: Great show! Thanks, Bob. Thanks, Pete.
	1:56pm Dennis Diken: fabulous show! did anyone mention that John Lennon dug “Wonderboy”?
	🥁 1:56pm PT: Thanks for listening to our complete "labo(u)r of love", everyone! (@Franco Twinkie: terrific story!) And Bob: thanks once again for having me, amigo.
	1:57pm Dean: What a band.
	🥁 1:58pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Bob Brainen and Pete Tomlinson, awesome show!!! The Kinks are always welcome around here
	🥁 1:58pm PT: @Dennis Diken: a) Hey! b) I knew that Lennon dug that song (Ray has mentioned it often), but didn't/couldn't fit it in. Thanks for the mention!
	🥁 2:00pm listener 126464: Thanks again, Bob & Pete!
	🥁 2:02pm chresti: Thanks Bob and Pete!
	7:38am TDK60: Bob & Pete. It was so unKool of me to miss this show. I'll listen via archive here in the Future. {Sun. Aug. 27, 2023 at 7:37 AM.}
	11:01am BB3: First album my dad let me bring home

	11:38am Franco Twinkie: Are You Experienced was official released in September of 1967, but advanced copies were appearing in hippie record stores in San Francisco the previous month, is where I saw it. Oh yeah, it was also on Reprise.
	11:39am sydnius: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:38 got mine from hipster.com
	11:40am DJpeterDE: Back home after walking around to these 3 minute gems! re: mono vs stereo, Andy Miller's book in the 33-1/3 series (a great song-by-song discussion) is very good at talking about differences between mono and stereo mixes in the Village Green era (including contemporaneous singles like "Days"). www.bloomsbury.com...
	11:41am Gerry from Miami: @dan. Early use of harpsichord on rock records-------Summertime, Summertime by the Jamies(1958), For Your Love-Yardbirds, Fixing a Hole-Beatles, Play With Fire-Rolling Stones, Love Me Two Times-Doors, Scarborough Fair-Simon and Garfunkel, Walk Away Renee-Left Banke
	11:41am Bob Brainen: Ken From Hyde Park!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: DJpeterDE! Thanks for link.
	11:43am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:41 She Comes In Colors by Love also features a harpsichord.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	11:43am DJpeterDE: Trigger warning: pedantry. I believe Ray and Dave favored the Welsh pronunciation ("davis"). Ditto the great Liverpool filmmaker Terence Davies.
	11:45am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Victoria" by "The Kinks" Victoooooooooooriah!
	11:45am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Victoria" by "The Kinks" The Fall does a fabulous cover of this.
	11:45am DJpeterDE: "'Though I'm poor, I am free." guts me every time!
	🥁 11:46am PT: ↳ DJpeterDE @11:43 DJpeterDE: Pedantry welcome here! "Dav-EEZ" is the pronunciation us American oldsters are kind of used to, I guess. In the UK "Davis" is favored.
	11:48am DJpeterDE: ↳ PT @11:46 I mean, that's what it looks like. But I think they were the kind of guys to not correct you, to answer to anything in the general neighborhood. A skill we've all developed thanks to Starbucks baristas and social media handles.
	🥁 11:48am PT: Actually, the US phonetic should be "DAVE-eez". And with that, we close out our UK/US "2 countries separated by a common language" segment.
	11:49am DJpeterDE: ↳ PT @11:48 LOL
	11:51am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:45 What a great f*cking catalogue!
	11:53am Gerry from Miami: Never noticed that French horn in the middle of "She's Got Everything" before. Wasn't John Entwistle of the Who doing a guest shot, was it?
	11:54am Roberto: ↳ DJpeterDE @11:43 I've heard a clip with Dave where he insists it's "Day-veez" but maybe he was just trolling his brother.
	11:55am Frank Zaatar: ↳ DJpeterDE @11:45 A British artist named Jeremy Dellar produced posters with the line "I was born, lucky me, in a land that I love" in English, Hebrew and Arabic. (The Hebrew was printed backwards.)
	🥁 11:55am PT: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:53 No, it's an alternate version (different vocal, too). Bob made an Entwistle quip too! Great minds and all that...
	11:55am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:51 This must be Shangri-La that we`re living in.
	11:55am dan: I think the world is due for the definitive Kinks Documentary that will show the entire history of the group. Almost like another Beatles Anthology.
	11:56am Gerry from Miami: I believe "See My Friends" was the song the Kinks sang on their first appearance on that late 60s American TV rock extravaganza show, "Shindig."
	11:57am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ dan @11:55 It`as bloody long overdue! At least Raynond Douglas got an Order Of The British Empire out of it.
	11:57am DJpeterDE: ↳ Frank Zaatar @11:55 Thanks for the head's up (... googling...) unoriginalsins.co.uk...
	11:58am ianm: Thanks for compiling this show -- brilliant
	11:58am Roberto: Have you all heard that "Celebrity Tracheotomies" song? It starts out quite irreverent but concludes with a rather moving nod to Ray and his possible inspiration for Waterloo Sunset.
	🥁 11:58am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Fancy" by "The Kinks" Early psych.
	11:59am Frank Zaatar: There was an exhibit of this work at the Hessel Art Museum at Bard a number of years ago.
	12:01pm Gerry from Miami: Paul Weller and the Jam did a version of "David Watts" that was "fab."
	12:01pm doctorjazz: Gotta shop for dinner, take the show along on headphones, can't bear to Missy too much...
	12:03pm dan: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:57 Better than that, he got a knighthood recently.
	12:06pm Andrew in Toronto: Here is Ray Davies newsletter sign-up: www.raydavies.info
	12:07pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Tired of Waiting for You" by "The Kinks" This was likely the first Kinks song I ever heard. I liked it!
	12:07pm bigplanetnoise: Sounding sooo great, Bob and Pete!!
	12:08pm ianm: ↳ Song: "Tired of Waiting for You" by "The Kinks" this song is perfect
	12:09pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ bigplanetnoise @12:07 Afternoon Bob!
	12:09pm bigplanetnoise: Hi Andrew!
	12:09pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:07 Well, maybe it was Lola, but Tired of Waiting was probably the first Kinks song I heard that made me sit up and take notice.
	12:09pm Bob Brainen: bigplanetnoise, thanks!
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: ianm!
	12:20pm Kevin in Doomsville: Been AWOL from the Drummer stream this month. Great to return to find Bob and Peter spinning The Kinks.
	12:21pm Bob Brainen: Kevin in Doomsville, welcome back!
	12:21pm Gerry from Miami: Thought I would mention the passing 3 weeks ago of former Kink(1970-78), John Gosling.
	12:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:21 This was mostly overlooked.
	🥁 12:23pm wmfromD: I may be wrong, but I believe "Percy" is the last Pye release.
	12:25pm Gerry from Miami: And don't forget that the original Kinks bassist, PETE QUAIFE, passed away in 2010.
	🥁 12:26pm PT: ↳ wmfromD @12:23 You are correct, it was Percy. Big oops here.
	12:27pm dan: @Gerry And also the passing of 80s era Kinks members Jim Rodford and Ian Gibbons
	12:27pm Doug Schulkind: Happy 25th Showiversary, Bob & Pete!
	12:28pm Bob Brainen: Doug Schulkind, thanks!
	🥁 12:29pm PT: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:27 Thanks, Doug! "Showiversary", portmanteau of the Month!
	12:32pm dan: Village Green could’ve been a success from the beginning had it not been released on the same day as The White Album and Electric Ladyland
	🥁 12:34pm wmfromD: There was no stereo version of Village Green released in the States. Only mono.
	12:37pm dan: The opening of Don’t You Fret sounds like a combination of Country Music and Motown.
	12:49pm dan: For a film about a penis transplant, its theme is very profound and anthemic.
	🥁 12:50pm PT: ↳ dan @12:49 @dan: And antithetical!
	1:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" i'm just here for the frogs.... /well, bob & pete as well
	1:07pm Bob Brainen: northguineahills!
	1:10pm dan: Just read that TV legend Bob Barker passed away this morning at age 99.
	1:11pm Gerry from Miami: "Waterloo Sunset" is THE most perfect Kinks song of all, IMHO. Can never get enough of it!
	1:12pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Waterloo Sunset" by "The Kinks" The tracheotomy connection is that Ray was at least partly inspired to write Waterloo Sunset by his lengthy hospitalization as a teen.
	1:13pm Roberto: Hoping "Living Room Light" is somewhere in the queue.
	🥁 1:14pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ dan @1:10 Aww. Wasn’t he an anti-fur advocate?
	1:17pm dan: @(Mr) Bill Yes. He protested one of the Miss America pageants because the contestants were modeling in fur coats.
	1:18pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Strangers" by "The Kinks" Such a moving song. Am I right that it's a rare expression of brotherly love?
	1:18pm Roberto: ↳ (Mr) Bill @1:14 Yes, Bob B. (the other one) was a major animal rights advocate.
	1:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Waterloo Sunset" by "The Kinks" it took 10 mins for my star to appear for waterloo sunset only find it's only five months old. Must have clicked on it before w/ different formatting...
	1:23pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:18 It's sure used for that purpose in Darjeeling Ltd!
	1:23pm Dean: My public library had a copy of Kink Kronikles, which was my deep introduction to the band. Probably as good a starting point as any.
	1:24pm Gerry from Miami: Thank God "little brother" Kink, DAVE DAVIES, left us "Strangers," a magnificent song. It has been covered a number of times and used in television and film productions. Ray wasn't the only super-talent in this band!
	1:25pm dan: Whenever I think of Dedicated Follower, I think of the scene in “In The Name of the Father” where Daniel Day-Lewis is strutting down the street.
	1:27pm ?: The quality of material this band produced in six years is staggering
	1:27pm PT: SUCH a treasure trove was Kronikles, not to mention the following year’s Great Lost Kinks Album. And henceforth almost every archival release was referred to as “The Great Lost…”
	1:30pm CalZone!: BB and PT...I've been listening the whole time and loving every minute!
	1:30pm Bob Brainen: CalZone! (!) Thanks man!
	1:38pm Dean: Huh, I thought this was a Van Halen tune.
	1:40pm Gerry from Miami: I can remember reading rock critic John Mendelssohn's review of "Kink Kronikles" in Rollng Stone and running out to buy it so I could hear all those "lost" tracks he raved about.
	1:40pm DJpeterDE: ↳ Dean @1:38 I still remember the Nissan commercial fondly: www.youtube.com...
	1:40pm dan: When Ray Davies got shot in New Orleans years ago, the Howard Stern like program on Q1043 hosted by Leslie “The Radio Chick” Gold did a spoof by doing “You Really Shot Me” (boom) (boom). Classless but funny at the same time.
	1:40pm doctorjazz: Been here for pretty muvh the whole show (whilc shopping), been great (Now we're hiting the BIG HITS!)
	1:41pm northguineahills: ↳ DJpeterDE @1:40 ha! me too!
	1:42pm ATLDondi: Thanks for a brilliant show, Bob & Pete. God Save the Kinks
	1:42pm Dean: Of LVPATMPO, Mendelsohn wrote, "This just may be the best Kinks album yet." Never saw that commercial.
	1:42pm northguineahills: closest i got to the kinks was seeing dave davies at the WTC on july 31, 2001. ray came on for one song.
	1:45pm dan: Great show as usual
	🥁 1:46pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Lola" by "Kinks" One has known for five decades what the twist is, yet one still can’t help but listen whenever “Lola” comes on.
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the great tribute, Bob and Pete!
	1:48pm Frank Zaatar: Shangri-la has a lot of las.
	1:49pm Dean: Did Ray attend "la" school?
	1:49pm Soule: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:40 Gerry, haha! Mendelssohn shouldn't have reviewed "Kinks Kronikles" - he compiled the album and wrote the liner notes.
	1:50pm northguineahills: a floydian slip, if you will...
	1:50pm Dave the Spazz: Great show--thanks for doing this!
	1:51pm sydnius: or the Architechtural Abdabs?
	1:51pm Franco Twinkie: I worked on an English TV commercial for some kind of ice cream bar. They got The Kinks to re-record Apeman as a jingle for the product. It was looped constantly on the set. The director was David Bailey, the photographer who documented Swinging London in the 1960's. He had malaria during the shoot, and was seriously ill. Of all the horrible/hilarious commercials I worked on, this one really took the cake.
	1:52pm Frank Zaatar: Not a clinker in the mix. Which says a lot about the Kinks and a lot about Bob and Pete. Thanks for a magical 3 hours.
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:51 Great story Franco.
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: This show has been one for the ages! Thanks Bob, and Pete.
