	9:10pm Steve Harsh: Ours!
	9:10pm JohnEBGood: Good answer ; )
	9:13pm drew73: ↳ Nate K. @9:07 I hear you, Da Mayor.

	9:27pm Nate K.: ↳ Carmichael @9:23 Chris Thomson forever!
	9:31pm steveo: Nate!
	9:32pm cbunny: gonna have to bust out the Scarcity Of Tanks tshirt from that time i saw them at Alphaville in 2015? Intensely intense show!
	9:33pm radioronan: Good evening Nate & all! Keeping the hydrant open tonight..maybe all week..
	9:35pm ultradamno: It is a big hit, I've heard it at Kroger AND CVS...See No Evil too. RIP JC
	9:35pm Nate K.: ↳ ultradamno @9:35 For real?!
	9:36pm Nate K.: You never know these days. I'll just say that my Walgreens isn't there yet.
	9:36pm brinny from oakland: hey nate!!!! are you from ohio? I've been making my way through your archives and as a Clevelander, I get that vibe.
	9:37pm brinny from oakland: my only complaint is that with the color scheme on your archive page, I can't tell what i've already listened to. but hey, that's not a bad problem to have!
	9:40pm cbunny: @brinny, blessed ohio definitely, happily plays strong on Burn It Down!
	9:40pm pgalub: Lynda Stipe and co.
	9:40pm ultradamno: ↳ Nate K. @9:35 Yeah. For awhile it was evidently in rotation in whatever service they use...much better than Wal-Mart, where I couldn't go in there for a while without hearing Breakfast At Tiffanys
	9:41pm Nate K.: ↳ brinny from oakland @9:36 I'm not. But I have family there, went to college there, and can't shake the midwest.
	9:41pm prof.fuzz: sorry i'm late. is there anything left to burn down?
	9:42pm cbunny: i played a James Chance plus nowave set a couple days ago at work for me my late 20’s coworkers and received mostly positive responses. I would’ve loved to meet James at least once. By all accounts i’ve read, a genuine person.
	9:42pm pgalub: Bruuuuuce
	9:43pm drew73: What lifetime contract from hell did Phil Collins sign, so that I need to hear his 4-5 80s hits, still today, every time I go pick up groceries?
	9:43pm ultradamno: mastodon.social...
	9:43pm Nate K.: ↳ drew73 @9:43 Take comfort in the fact that he seems to hate himself.
	9:44pm Nate K.: ↳ cbunny @9:42 I think it translates. He's pretty varied too.
	9:45pm estebangrande: ↳ Nate K. @9:43 because he too regrets ever stepping out from behind his drumkit
	9:46pm PAWG busta: Almost got all the cuss words! 👍
	9:46pm DonJuanTijuana: Hi Nate & all Pyromaniacs
	9:47pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Clubnite" by "Teddy and the Frat Girls" Wild!
	9:47pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "Clubnite" by "Teddy and the Frat Girls" call me crazy this sounded a lot like U.S.S.A. by the Butthole Surfers
	9:48pm Nate K.: ↳ joe mulligan @9:47 Probably coming from a similar place creatively.
	9:49pm joe mulligan: ↳ Nate K. @9:48 for sure.. a lot of high tempo screaming. at first I thought it was a cover. truthfully nobody is crazy enough to cover that song
	9:50pm ultradamno: There should be a split single of Chubby & The Frat Girls/Teddy & The Gang
	9:50pm joe mulligan: ↳ estebangrande @9:45 whats up Esteban!
	9:52pm ultradamno: RIP JC mastodon.social...
	9:56pm ultradamno: It's also Ray Davies birthday
	9:58pm Carmichael: Th’ SUPER THING
	10:02pm steveo: i loved New Traditionalists
	10:02pm dan in wisconsin: This track reminds me of the trailer reel for the Duelin' Firemen 3DO video game that was never released. It's got Steve Albini and David Yow as airline jet pilots and Timothy Leary, Mark Mothersbaugh, and others in it. It's nutso.
	10:04pm Carmichael: Devo put on one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.
	10:07pm chresti: ↳ Carmichael @10:04 Yes!
	10:10pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Phantom Arcade" by "Neutrals" Some essence of Television
	10:13pm dan in wisconsin: It's pretty cool that Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh and Jerry Casale were foremost into visual art at Kent State, music being an afterthought. Talking Heads met in an art school too, I think. Both bands have killer visual production skills. True Stories (1986) directed by David Byrne is basically a series of music videos tied together by a loose plot involving the residents of fictional Virgil, Texas, a town built up around a semiconductor corporation.
	10:15pm dan in wisconsin: James Chance was even in a Jean Michel Basquiat documentary, I think. Either that or it was the movie Downtown 81'.
	10:18pm dan in wisconsin: Can you imagine what an audio/visual project made by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Kenneth Anger, and Devo, and Skinny Puppy would've looked and sounded like?
	10:19pm cbunny: neutrals tack was badass
	10:24pm ultradamno: Who was the band Jodorowsky wouldn't work with because they ate fast food?
	10:25pm Nate K.: ↳ cbunny @10:19 Great band
	10:25pm Nate K.: ↳ ultradamno @10:24 Hopefully, the Dictators, because that would mean he almost worked with the Dictators.
	10:27pm dan in wisconsin: I donno. But Jodorowsky almost collaborated with Magma and Pink Floyd to create a DUNE movie.
	10:28pm ultradamno: ↳ Nate K. @10:25 It was Pink Floyd www.reddit.com...
	10:28pm Franco Twinkie: Jerry Casale directed TV commercials after Devo was caput. I worked on two for him. One was DVX, an early digital playback system that was ashes before in got out of post production. One of the guys on our crew had been in Green on Red - a cow punk band from Tucson. This I saw - the guy from Green on Red said "Hi Jerry, we opened for you in Tucson!" Jerry barely acknowledged him. It was embarrassing to witness. Later, Green on Red guy opened for Bob Dylan - solo! See, there is justice in the world.
	10:29pm ultradamno: “I started to insult them! “How do you not understand I am offering to you the most important picture in the history of humanity? It will change the world! And you are eating…BIG MACS! How?"
	10:29pm ultradamno: I hope Gilmour responded "with our mouths!"
	10:31pm ultradamno: He and Anger would have gotten along on occult themes...the sarcasm of Devo might have been a rough fit.
	10:32pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:28 That's a good story. Yep, I can truly see Jerry being a bit of a tough person to be around. Dude is into fine wine (and probably his own ego, too).
	10:33pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ ultradamno @10:29 Haha
	10:33pm Enflod: Devo co-founder, singer and bassist Gerald Vincent “Jerry” Casale, 67, was married to Krista Napp, 26, on Friday, Sept. 11, in a modest ceremony, but thanks to the 9/11-themed reception that followed, the response to the event has been anything but. On Monday morning (Sept. 14), TMZ ran photos from Casale and Napp’s intimate reception at Michael’s Restaurant in Santa Monica, Calif., showing the newlyweds cutting their wedding cake, which was shaped like the World Trade Center’s twin towers with their faces drawn on. Place settings featured an image of a box cutter with “Gerald & Krista” engraved on them, and guests actually got real box cutters as wedding favors, all of which provoked considerable criticism online.
	10:34pm Roberto: ↳ Enflod @10:33 Lots to hate there.
	10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Fire in the hole! 🔥
	10:35pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:34 I prefer to focus on Dan in WI's kitteh.
	10:35pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:35 And my own, of course.
	10:35pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ Enflod @10:33 Wowza. That's like something out of Hollywood Babylon. I'd like to see the TMZ photos.
	10:35pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ dan in wisconsin @10:32 You got it! He would come to work dressed like one of the flying saucer crew in Forbidden Planet. He was a humorless jerk that everyone hated.
	10:36pm ultradamno: In college I had the Green On Red Gravity Talks album...we used to laugh over the line "my mother was a fish"...making fun but also loving it. Down the line Happy Flowers came up with a song where they kept yelling that, it was very endearing to me. www.discogs.com...
	10:40pm San Pedro Girl: Good evening, Nate and all.
	10:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ ultradamno @10:36 I saw them years before the former member and I worked together. After the first job, we added him to our crew. Best worker we ever drafted from production assistant hell.
	10:41pm estebangrande: doin the dew
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:40 Hey hey, we meet again.
	10:42pm Nate K.: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:40 Welcome!
	10:55pm dan in wisconsin: Yeah, they say to never meet one's heroes. The band Monks were doing in 1966 what Devo would later emulate. Negativland even doesn't get as snide, condescending, and sarcastic as Devo. Maybe on a few tracks they do. At least they don't come off as condescending like Devo did in the 1990s when they were making albums which only a spud would enjoy.
	10:56pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:42 Hi Franco!
	10:58pm Steve Harsh: I ain't lyin no!!!
	10:59pm San Pedro Girl: I’m stuck on Enflod’s 10:33 comment about Jerry Casale’s 9/11 themed wedding. Wow! There must be more to the story that I don't understand. Why? is the obvious question.
	11:01pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:59 Yeah. Same. I had to check out the photographs. I would imagine it was part of some shameless self promotion. He knew that it'd garner a TMZ response. Uggh.
	11:01pm ultradamno: www.instagram.com...
	11:01pm Roberto: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:59 The age gap is more disturbing than the wedding theme, if you ask me.
	11:02pm estebangrande: ↳ joe mulligan @9:50 Joe! sorry i missed you earlier. you stateside?
	11:04pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:56 Hey SPG!
	11:07pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:01 Apologies to any extreme age-gappers who may be within eyeshot.
	11:07pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ dan in wisconsin @11:01 Maybe. Still, I’m not satisfied with that. There are other, actually funny, clever ways to achieve that end. Can you imagine telling your family and friends you were planning such an event and that you’d like them to participate?? It is hard to believe anyone would go along with it. I couldn’t and wouldn't attend such a wedding.
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:07 On the morning the two tower went down, I was scheduled to go on a location scout. I went to the house of the production designer and we watched it on TV. No work that day, but nothing gets in the way of film production, so we were right back at it the day after. That job was weird enough - it was at Marilyne Monroe's love shack in the Hollywood Hills. The following week I we were in the penthouse of a skyscraper downtown L.A. Can I say that I was freaking?
	11:21pm San Pedro Girl: Moving on. Can someone tell me when the Palladium went back to being The Academy again? I know it was the Academy of Music before it became the Palladium. Then, it closed it’s doors but reopened as the Palladium nightclub. I recall that closing too. When did it reopen again as The Academy? And, when did it finally close again?
	11:26pm JohnEBGood: It may be 1975 or1976?
	11:30pm JohnEBGood: Was that on 14th ST?
	11:31pm chresti: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:59 a fundraiser?
	11:33pm Steve Harsh: Thank you Nate!!!
	11:35pm PNW THC: killer set nate!
	11:38pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ chresti @11:31 Maybe. Good guess Chresti I wan’t aware that it ever reopened as The Academy. Other than this live Television ’92 show that opened Nate’ show tonight, I wasn’t aware that it had music bookings after it’s period as a night club. I hung out there in the 80s. I thought someone here might know about that. Apparently not.
	11:41pm JohnEBGood: OMG 14th street in Manhattan rocks!!!
	11:43pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ JohnEBGood @11:41 Maybe now, but it was pretty dumpy back in the 80s.
	11:47pm JohnEBGood: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:43 Great shopping around 6th Ave. Go down to Clancy's on 2nd and 14th. Manhattan Rocks!!
	11:47pm Bob in DC: Saw one of Glenn’s last shows. In DC
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ JohnEBGood @11:47 I remember looking for a store that sold Mexican grocery's back in the mid 80's. I found this place called Casa Manao on 14th Street. It left a lot to be desired.
	11:49pm drew73: Fab show tonight – thanks, Nate!
	11:51pm San Pedro Girl: Yes. There was no good Mexican food in NYC back then.
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: Tell me about it!
	11:52pm San Pedro Girl: Thank you, Nate—good show!
	11:53pm San Pedro Girl: Take care friends!
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Theme from MASH" by "Royal Trux" This is great!
	11:54pm JohnEBGood: Wow Nice tribute Nate
	11:54pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Theme from MASH" by "Royal Trux" Good version.
	11:54pm radioronan: Thanks Nate! Cheers y'all!
	11:55pm David Shortell: Sutherland's Oddball looked less anachronistic than Elliot Gould's Hawkeye.
	11:55pm jeanjae: Thank you, Nate.
	11:56pm chresti: Thanks Nate!
	11:56pm ultradamno: Buffy's original watcher...the one that wouldn't move from LA to Sunnydale
	11:56pm gabriel: great show nate! that last track sounded like the mash theme.
	11:56pm Nate K.: Thanks everybody!
	11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Nate. Burned down, but not out!
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ NateK ~
	11:59pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Nate.

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.

June 21, 2024: "To be face to face with a world so alive."

	9:47pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "Clubnite" by "Teddy and the Frat Girls" call me crazy this sounded a lot like U.S.S.A. by the Butthole Surfers
	9:48pm Nate K.: ↳ joe mulligan @9:47 Probably coming from a similar place creatively.
	9:49pm joe mulligan: ↳ Nate K. @9:48 for sure.. a lot of high tempo screaming. at first I thought it was a cover. truthfully nobody is crazy enough to cover that song
	9:50pm ultradamno: There should be a split single of Chubby & The Frat Girls/Teddy & The Gang
	9:50pm joe mulligan: ↳ estebangrande @9:45 whats up Esteban!
	9:52pm ultradamno: RIP JC mastodon.social...
	9:56pm ultradamno: It's also Ray Davies birthday
	9:58pm Carmichael: Th’ SUPER THING
	10:02pm steveo: i loved New Traditionalists
	10:02pm dan in wisconsin: This track reminds me of the trailer reel for the Duelin' Firemen 3DO video game that was never released. It's got Steve Albini and David Yow as airline jet pilots and Timothy Leary, Mark Mothersbaugh, and others in it. It's nutso.
	10:04pm Carmichael: Devo put on one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.
	10:07pm chresti: ↳ Carmichael @10:04 Yes!
	10:10pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Phantom Arcade" by "Neutrals" Some essence of Television
	10:13pm dan in wisconsin: It's pretty cool that Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh and Jerry Casale were foremost into visual art at Kent State, music being an afterthought. Talking Heads met in an art school too, I think. Both bands have killer visual production skills. True Stories (1986) directed by David Byrne is basically a series of music videos tied together by a loose plot involving the residents of fictional Virgil, Texas, a town built up around a semiconductor corporation.
	10:15pm dan in wisconsin: James Chance was even in a Jean Michel Basquiat documentary, I think. Either that or it was the movie Downtown 81'.
	10:18pm dan in wisconsin: Can you imagine what an audio/visual project made by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Kenneth Anger, and Devo, and Skinny Puppy would've looked and sounded like?
	10:19pm cbunny: neutrals tack was badass
	10:24pm ultradamno: Who was the band Jodorowsky wouldn't work with because they ate fast food?
	10:25pm Nate K.: ↳ cbunny @10:19 Great band
	10:25pm Nate K.: ↳ ultradamno @10:24 Hopefully, the Dictators, because that would mean he almost worked with the Dictators.
	10:27pm dan in wisconsin: I donno. But Jodorowsky almost collaborated with Magma and Pink Floyd to create a DUNE movie.
	10:28pm ultradamno: ↳ Nate K. @10:25 It was Pink Floyd www.reddit.com...
	10:28pm Franco Twinkie: Jerry Casale directed TV commercials after Devo was caput. I worked on two for him. One was DVX, an early digital playback system that was ashes before in got out of post production. One of the guys on our crew had been in Green on Red - a cow punk band from Tucson. This I saw - the guy from Green on Red said "Hi Jerry, we opened for you in Tucson!" Jerry barely acknowledged him. It was embarrassing to witness. Later, Green on Red guy opened for Bob Dylan - solo! See, there is justice in the world.
	10:29pm ultradamno: “I started to insult them! “How do you not understand I am offering to you the most important picture in the history of humanity? It will change the world! And you are eating…BIG MACS! How?"
	10:29pm ultradamno: I hope Gilmour responded "with our mouths!"
	10:31pm ultradamno: He and Anger would have gotten along on occult themes...the sarcasm of Devo might have been a rough fit.
	10:32pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:28 That's a good story. Yep, I can truly see Jerry being a bit of a tough person to be around. Dude is into fine wine (and probably his own ego, too).
	10:33pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ ultradamno @10:29 Haha
	10:33pm Enflod: Devo co-founder, singer and bassist Gerald Vincent “Jerry” Casale, 67, was married to Krista Napp, 26, on Friday, Sept. 11, in a modest ceremony, but thanks to the 9/11-themed reception that followed, the response to the event has been anything but. On Monday morning (Sept. 14), TMZ ran photos from Casale and Napp’s intimate reception at Michael’s Restaurant in Santa Monica, Calif., showing the newlyweds cutting their wedding cake, which was shaped like the World Trade Center’s twin towers with their faces drawn on. Place settings featured an image of a box cutter with “Gerald & Krista” engraved on them, and guests actually got real box cutters as wedding favors, all of which provoked considerable criticism online.
	10:34pm Roberto: ↳ Enflod @10:33 Lots to hate there.
	10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Fire in the hole! 🔥
	10:35pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:34 I prefer to focus on Dan in WI's kitteh.
	10:35pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:35 And my own, of course.
	10:35pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ Enflod @10:33 Wowza. That's like something out of Hollywood Babylon. I'd like to see the TMZ photos.
	10:35pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ dan in wisconsin @10:32 You got it! He would come to work dressed like one of the flying saucer crew in Forbidden Planet. He was a humorless jerk that everyone hated.
	10:36pm ultradamno: In college I had the Green On Red Gravity Talks album...we used to laugh over the line "my mother was a fish"...making fun but also loving it. Down the line Happy Flowers came up with a song where they kept yelling that, it was very endearing to me. www.discogs.com...
	10:40pm San Pedro Girl: Good evening, Nate and all.
	10:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ ultradamno @10:36 I saw them years before the former member and I worked together. After the first job, we added him to our crew. Best worker we ever drafted from production assistant hell.
	10:41pm estebangrande: doin the dew
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:40 Hey hey, we meet again.
	10:42pm Nate K.: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:40 Welcome!
	10:55pm dan in wisconsin: Yeah, they say to never meet one's heroes. The band Monks were doing in 1966 what Devo would later emulate. Negativland even doesn't get as snide, condescending, and sarcastic as Devo. Maybe on a few tracks they do. At least they don't come off as condescending like Devo did in the 1990s when they were making albums which only a spud would enjoy.
	10:56pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:42 Hi Franco!
	10:58pm Steve Harsh: I ain't lyin no!!!
	10:59pm San Pedro Girl: I’m stuck on Enflod’s 10:33 comment about Jerry Casale’s 9/11 themed wedding. Wow! There must be more to the story that I don't understand. Why? is the obvious question.
	11:01pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:59 Yeah. Same. I had to check out the photographs. I would imagine it was part of some shameless self promotion. He knew that it'd garner a TMZ response. Uggh.
	11:01pm ultradamno: www.instagram.com...
	11:01pm Roberto: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:59 The age gap is more disturbing than the wedding theme, if you ask me.
	11:02pm estebangrande: ↳ joe mulligan @9:50 Joe! sorry i missed you earlier. you stateside?
	11:04pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:56 Hey SPG!
	11:07pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:01 Apologies to any extreme age-gappers who may be within eyeshot.
	11:07pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ dan in wisconsin @11:01 Maybe. Still, I’m not satisfied with that. There are other, actually funny, clever ways to achieve that end. Can you imagine telling your family and friends you were planning such an event and that you’d like them to participate?? It is hard to believe anyone would go along with it. I couldn’t and wouldn't attend such a wedding.
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:07 On the morning the two tower went down, I was scheduled to go on a location scout. I went to the house of the production designer and we watched it on TV. No work that day, but nothing gets in the way of film production, so we were right back at it the day after. That job was weird enough - it was at Marilyne Monroe's love shack in the Hollywood Hills. The following week I we were in the penthouse of a skyscraper downtown L.A. Can I say that I was freaking?
	11:21pm San Pedro Girl: Moving on. Can someone tell me when the Palladium went back to being The Academy again? I know it was the Academy of Music before it became the Palladium. Then, it closed it’s doors but reopened as the Palladium nightclub. I recall that closing too. When did it reopen again as The Academy? And, when did it finally close again?
	11:26pm JohnEBGood: It may be 1975 or1976?
	11:30pm JohnEBGood: Was that on 14th ST?
	11:31pm chresti: ↳ San Pedro Girl @10:59 a fundraiser?
	11:33pm Steve Harsh: Thank you Nate!!!
	11:35pm PNW THC: killer set nate!
	11:38pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ chresti @11:31 Maybe. Good guess Chresti I wan’t aware that it ever reopened as The Academy. Other than this live Television ’92 show that opened Nate’ show tonight, I wasn’t aware that it had music bookings after it’s period as a night club. I hung out there in the 80s. I thought someone here might know about that. Apparently not.
	11:41pm JohnEBGood: OMG 14th street in Manhattan rocks!!!
	11:43pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ JohnEBGood @11:41 Maybe now, but it was pretty dumpy back in the 80s.
	11:47pm JohnEBGood: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:43 Great shopping around 6th Ave. Go down to Clancy's on 2nd and 14th. Manhattan Rocks!!
	11:47pm Bob in DC: Saw one of Glenn’s last shows. In DC
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ JohnEBGood @11:47 I remember looking for a store that sold Mexican grocery's back in the mid 80's. I found this place called Casa Manao on 14th Street. It left a lot to be desired.
	11:49pm drew73: Fab show tonight – thanks, Nate!
	11:51pm San Pedro Girl: Yes. There was no good Mexican food in NYC back then.
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: Tell me about it!
	11:52pm San Pedro Girl: Thank you, Nate—good show!
	11:53pm San Pedro Girl: Take care friends!
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Theme from MASH" by "Royal Trux" This is great!
	11:54pm JohnEBGood: Wow Nice tribute Nate
	11:54pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Theme from MASH" by "Royal Trux" Good version.
	11:54pm radioronan: Thanks Nate! Cheers y'all!
	11:55pm David Shortell: Sutherland's Oddball looked less anachronistic than Elliot Gould's Hawkeye.
	11:55pm jeanjae: Thank you, Nate.
	11:56pm chresti: Thanks Nate!
	11:56pm ultradamno: Buffy's original watcher...the one that wouldn't move from LA to Sunnydale
	11:56pm gabriel: great show nate! that last track sounded like the mash theme.
	11:56pm Nate K.: Thanks everybody!
	11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Nate. Burned down, but not out!
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ NateK ~
