	11:48am Andres: Good morning, Michael and all. To be fair to the local bakeries, Saturday morning is like reaching the summit for bakers.
	11:49am Andres: I had waffles this morning. A fair substitution for coffee cake.
	11:49am clarke: hate to admit this, but edmunds solo wins on that one.
	11:50am egould: Speaking of Evanston/Chicago. Next time you’re out that way, take some time to hang out at Chicago Music Exchange. www.chicagomusicexchange.com Play a $45,000 guitar. They don’t care if you do.

	11:59am clarke: feller's got pipes!
	12:01pm gf2002: Speaking of expensive guitars, George Harrison's "Futurama" guitar he used in the early Hamburg days is going up again for auction. Estimate $800,000. I don't see it reaching that bid, but still cool to see the photos.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:01 that is an awesome guitar!
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:02 photos in andy babuik's book.
	12:03pm egould: I’m calling my shot; Richard Harris’ ‘MacArthur Park’ for the show finalé.
	12:03pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:02 Yes! I'm amazed it survived, same with Lennon's Framus Hootenany 12-string acoustic that recently sold for I think 600 grand or something.
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:03 what was your bid?? ha ha.
	12:04pm Listener Baby: ↳ egould @12:03 A good call, but I doubt it. Too long for MS show. How about a ditty by Cake?
	12:04pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:04 Haha only in my dreams...
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:04 uh how bout NO?
	12:06pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @12:04 You’re right. You’re always right. :-)
	12:08pm gf2002: Recently I've been thinking "Cry For A Shadow" is one of the most important if not best Beatles recordings in their whole catalog, because it's a really pure recording of Harrison's Futurama, Lennon's original Ricky 325, and McCartney's original Hofner violin bass. It's probably the best example of how those iconic instruments actually sounded when they were still "new", as recorded in a pro environment. Lennon's 325 especially sounds incredible...
	12:08pm Frank In Queens: Crumble is the word of the day!
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: It was the yeast they could do.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:08 went thru a Shadow phase around april myself. stellar! !
	12:10pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:09 I love that record, just pure energy and it's a good song too!
	12:10pm Bobby: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:09 got me haha
	12:11pm Hughie Considine: "We ate it." 2 and a half stars
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:10 si!!!
	12:11pm Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now. Quick pop in while driving back to Plymouth from the G'Island. Saw two great shows. X then The Reverend Horton Heat with Big Sandy. mmmmmm, coffee cake.
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:11 hey HEY now!
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:11 assuming you mean Long Island.
	12:14pm Andres: I voting for cake C. But would love a sample of that chocolate cake.
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: Here we go!
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: When someone says 'thank you,' I like to say 'Why, natch.'
	12:15pm clarke: natch!
	12:15pm egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:14 Also finger pistols, and a tongue click.
	12:16pm clarke: it ain't the archies without the jughead beat!
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: Always
	12:16pm gf2002: ↳ Squints @12:11 That's a great show! I'm glad to see The Rev is still out there doing his thing. The show I saw at The Paradise is still one of the most wild, out of control pure rock and roll shows I have ever seen. One of the best guitar tones in the biz.
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: Congrats to Jeremy!
	12:17pm Hughie Considine: The test cake takes it!
	12:17pm clarke: test is best!
	12:18pm clarke: yay!!!
	12:19pm Andres: Let them eat cake!
	12:19pm wenzo: An anual bake off makes sense… does it always have to be coffee cake tho?
	12:20pm JB: Hey I know Jordon! Former coworker here.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:16 if you are referring to the paradise in boston, you may have seen Rev also at Avalon??
	12:20pm Squints: That's like asking up my way does it have to be chowdah.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:20 GGSq
	12:21pm John L: Seeing Jonathan Richman on Thursday. He's playing 3 nights at the Unicorn in Kingston NY.
	12:22pm Squints: Was in Sayville with a college buddy. Saw our shows at The Patchogue Theater.
	12:22pm Listener Baby: ↳ egould @12:15 Wink, and thumbs up? Always effective.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ John L @12:21 bye bye bye bye bye.
	12:23pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "How Can I Tell You" by "Del Shannon" Whoa. I like this!
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Song: "How Can I Tell You" by "Del Shannon" jeeeeez!!!!!
	12:23pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:20 I only saw him at Paradise, April '94 with Possum Dixon opening. It was out of control, Possum Dixon started playing a cover of Like A Virgin and someone threw a beer which landed on or near an amp which shut off, and they stopped the show. Then Rev came out and it got crazy. Great show.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Song: "How Can I Tell You" by "Del Shannon" an unusual close mic situation for del!
	12:24pm Dominick: lovely
	12:24pm queems: hard agree that treehouse is def the best coffee
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:23 i think i went to that, but was late because of gig. saw encores.?
	12:24pm gf2002: "Taz" Bentley was still the drummer for Rev Heat, he was great
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:24 he was. i was not the biggest Taz fan. overkill for me. no subtlety.
	12:25pm Squints: LI openers Koffin Kats played a great psychobilly cover of "Maneater."
	12:26pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:24 The floor of the Paradise was a sea of beer bottles by the end of the show, everywhere you walked you'd kick a bottle! My friend got into a fistfight on the floor, and there were a few that broke out.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:25 the drummer Rev has now is more in line with his style.
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:26 yeah, i recall that floor, ha ha.
	12:28pm Squints: Back to the road now that my Popeye's is done. Next Saturday, gang

	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:28 chikken for breakfast - nice!! safe driving!!
	12:29pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:25 That's a great description, he was a basher and the volume was on 11 for that whole show, it worked for the songs they were doing off of the "Full Custom" album but it wasn't subtle at all haha
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:29 over the top is what he was!
	12:29pm dave wuz here: saw rev horton heat at green street grill in cambridge, 1992ish
	12:29pm Listener Baby: Feeling regretful that I didn’t offer a bottle of vino as a prize for CC winner. What was I thinking? No not thinking? Next year.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ dave wuz here @12:29 although i drank many beers there, was not at that one!
	12:30pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Andres @12:14 Thank you. And fwiw, the cake had 2 cups of coffee in it. I figured that would qualify it as a coffee cake. 🥳
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:29 just do TWO next year!!
	12:31pm Cheryl The Nerd: Congrats to Jeremy!
	12:32pm prof.fuzz: howdy y'all

	12:39pm Cheryl The Nerd: Btw... Michael's cinnamon rolls are BANGING!!
	12:39pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "The Girl Can't Help It" by "Little Richard" Great song, great record! Bobby Troup could rock...Dr. Joe Early!
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:39 And Dixie McCall sure could croon...
	12:40pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:40 Yes indeed, and easy on the eyes too...
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:40 being julie london?
	12:41pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "The Girl Can't Help It" by "Little Richard" I got this on a Special-it-y 78 rpm.
	12:41pm John L: ↳ clarke @12:22 A friend is visiting and we are having a jam packed musical weekend. Thankfully every show is in spitting distance: Neko Case, Kate Pierson, Rhett Miller and maybe, The Sloppy Heads and the Hypos.
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:40 The very same ... aka Hot Nurse Dixie McCall
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ John L @12:41 i saw that neko was playing upstate! wow! great on all!
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ John L @12:41 funny how guests make one get out of the house.
	12:42pm gf2002: I loved Emergency as a kid and found out later about the Jack Webb-Julie London-Bobby Troup connection, and wondered how tense things may have gotten on that set. Or maybe not! Maybe it was like the Harrison-Clapton-Pattie deal where they just all got along
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:42 do you think webb ever showed any emotion?? ha ha.
	12:44pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:43 Haha great point. Only when lecturing "Blue Boy" on Dragnet perhaps
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:44 the one time he loses it!
	12:45pm Hughie Considine: Once you were out of Webb's life, he was over you, even if you broke the big galoot's heart. That's how I imagine it anyway.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:45 he never even grimaced
	12:46pm John L: ↳ clarke @12:42 It's part of a 3 day festival. You buy a wristband and access to everything. Pay what you want, but I usually pay 40. Some shows, like Neko, are first come first serve, so I'll be there early
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ John L @12:46 she hasnt played that often lately.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Cut The CAKE" by "AWB" above-average!
	12:47pm gf2002: I think Webb defined the word "stoic" in many ways. Although Johnny Carson did make him break character and laugh during the "copper clappers" skit, which was a rare feat
	12:48pm Alan in Marblehead: Can you ship some coffee cake to Massachusetts?
	12:48pm egould: I felt left out of the coffee cake fun. All I can bake based on what’s in my pantry was cornbread. Just got the cornbread in the oven, and sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on top. Close facsimile?
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:47 didn't see that, will seek.
	12:48pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:47 Warren Oates was similarly stoic.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 he was laughing in one scene i can vaguely remember.... oh, in Stripes.
	12:49pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 did a whole movie where he doesn't even speak (until maybe at the very end?).
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 you're our big toe seargent hulka... - ha ha ha ha OKAY...
	12:50pm Listener Bop Monroe: thnx for a great show DJMS! awoken and bokin' round the table with green tea and rye bread. do that count?
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:49 isn't he drunk and laughing in The Wild Bunch, tho?
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:49 Now that is stoic. Jack Webb never did that.
	12:51pm Hubig Pie: Lighten up Francis.
	12:52pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 That reminds me I have the Criterion release of Two Lane Blacktop that is long overdue for a movie night viewing
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:51 they call me Joker.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:52 it's been decades for me!
	12:52pm drr: was W Oates Tector Gorch, or another Gorch?
	12:52pm John L: ↳ clarke @12:47 She's been recording and wrote a memoir. And, I think, working on a musical.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:52 oops: Cruiser!
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:52 Perfect late-night viewing. Very little smiling.

	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Michael C St Lou @12:53 aunt jemima treatment.
	12:54pm StuartR: ↳ Song: "Kids In America" by "Muffs, The" #1 Hit by Kim, Melanie et al
	12:54pm Listener Bop Monroe: this version makes me hate this song less. go muffs!!!!
	12:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Kids In America" by "Muffs, The" Kim Shattuck forever!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: Stripes and Full Metal Jacket are similar in that they're less good once boot camp ends.
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 that is why i said Joker. ha ha. why don't you get on the good side for the big win, son!?!
	12:55pm drr: ↳ John L @12:53 Yep, with Charles Willeford as a cockfight referee, looking exactly like you'd expect him to.
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 two good half-films!
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:55 Just read the Hoke Mosley compendium recently. He's top tier.
	12:56pm Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ Song: "Maharishi" by "Lenny Lacour (released as King Cre... best Fats Domino song EVER!!!!!!!
	12:56pm drr: Warren Oates and Lee Ermey should have teamed up on something. A sitcom about two drill sergeants forced to become roommates or something.
	12:57pm egould: Kim Shattuck has the best rock scream in the history of rock n roll.
	12:57pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 That is a great observation, I couldn't put my finger on why I was never sold completely on Full Metal Jacket and you nailed it, after boot camp and such a strong character from Lee Ermey, the movie kind of drifted around too much. It could have been a better film if it expanded boot camp and ended somehow at deployment. I don't know, just rambling thoughts
	12:57pm drr: ↳ egould @12:57 Seconded!
	12:57pm Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ drr @12:56 joined by Lou Gossett Jr. Hijinx abound.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:56 Ermay seemed like he wanted more roles??
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: Yeah!
	12:58pm clarke: no, i won!!
	12:58pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 That's cuz the Drill Sargeant steals the show in each.
	12:58pm clarke: i think you're drunk!!
	12:58pm Andres: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:30 I was wondering if the judges had enough coffee!
	12:58pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:56 Marvelous books. Get any of his memoirs!
	12:58pm egould: Thanks Michael. Lot’s of fun!
	12:58pm clarke: this is the News Dept!!
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:58 True. It's a plumb role.
	12:59pm clarke: benny.

	12:08pm gf2002: Recently I've been thinking "Cry For A Shadow" is one of the most important if not best Beatles recordings in their whole catalog, because it's a really pure recording of Harrison's Futurama, Lennon's original Ricky 325, and McCartney's original Hofner violin bass. It's probably the best example of how those iconic instruments actually sounded when they were still "new", as recorded in a pro environment. Lennon's 325 especially sounds incredible...
	12:08pm Frank In Queens: Crumble is the word of the day!
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: It was the yeast they could do.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:08 went thru a Shadow phase around april myself. stellar! !
	12:10pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:09 I love that record, just pure energy and it's a good song too!
	12:10pm Bobby: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:09 got me haha

	12:14pm Andres: I voting for cake C. But would love a sample of that chocolate cake.
	12:14pm Frank In Queens: Here we go!
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: When someone says 'thank you,' I like to say 'Why, natch.'
	12:15pm clarke: natch!
	12:15pm egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:14 Also finger pistols, and a tongue click.
	12:16pm clarke: it ain't the archies without the jughead beat!
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: Always
	12:16pm gf2002: ↳ Squints @12:11 That's a great show! I'm glad to see The Rev is still out there doing his thing. The show I saw at The Paradise is still one of the most wild, out of control pure rock and roll shows I have ever seen. One of the best guitar tones in the biz.
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: Congrats to Jeremy!
	12:17pm Hughie Considine: The test cake takes it!
	12:17pm clarke: test is best!
	12:18pm clarke: yay!!!
	12:19pm Andres: Let them eat cake!
	12:19pm wenzo: An anual bake off makes sense… does it always have to be coffee cake tho?
	12:20pm JB: Hey I know Jordon! Former coworker here.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:16 if you are referring to the paradise in boston, you may have seen Rev also at Avalon??
	12:20pm Squints: That's like asking up my way does it have to be chowdah.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:20 GGSq
	12:21pm John L: Seeing Jonathan Richman on Thursday. He's playing 3 nights at the Unicorn in Kingston NY.
	12:22pm Squints: Was in Sayville with a college buddy. Saw our shows at The Patchogue Theater.
	12:22pm Listener Baby: ↳ egould @12:15 Wink, and thumbs up? Always effective.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ John L @12:21 bye bye bye bye bye.
	12:23pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "How Can I Tell You" by "Del Shannon" Whoa. I like this!
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Song: "How Can I Tell You" by "Del Shannon" jeeeeez!!!!!
	12:23pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:20 I only saw him at Paradise, April '94 with Possum Dixon opening. It was out of control, Possum Dixon started playing a cover of Like A Virgin and someone threw a beer which landed on or near an amp which shut off, and they stopped the show. Then Rev came out and it got crazy. Great show.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Song: "How Can I Tell You" by "Del Shannon" an unusual close mic situation for del!
	12:24pm Dominick: lovely
	12:24pm queems: hard agree that treehouse is def the best coffee
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:23 i think i went to that, but was late because of gig. saw encores.?
	12:24pm gf2002: "Taz" Bentley was still the drummer for Rev Heat, he was great
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:24 he was. i was not the biggest Taz fan. overkill for me. no subtlety.
	12:25pm Squints: LI openers Koffin Kats played a great psychobilly cover of "Maneater."
	12:26pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:24 The floor of the Paradise was a sea of beer bottles by the end of the show, everywhere you walked you'd kick a bottle! My friend got into a fistfight on the floor, and there were a few that broke out.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:25 the drummer Rev has now is more in line with his style.
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:26 yeah, i recall that floor, ha ha.
	12:28pm Squints: Back to the road now that my Popeye's is done. Next Saturday, gang

	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:28 chikken for breakfast - nice!! safe driving!!
	12:29pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:25 That's a great description, he was a basher and the volume was on 11 for that whole show, it worked for the songs they were doing off of the "Full Custom" album but it wasn't subtle at all haha
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:29 over the top is what he was!
	12:29pm dave wuz here: saw rev horton heat at green street grill in cambridge, 1992ish
	12:29pm Listener Baby: Feeling regretful that I didn’t offer a bottle of vino as a prize for CC winner. What was I thinking? No not thinking? Next year.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ dave wuz here @12:29 although i drank many beers there, was not at that one!
	12:30pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Andres @12:14 Thank you. And fwiw, the cake had 2 cups of coffee in it. I figured that would qualify it as a coffee cake. 🥳
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:29 just do TWO next year!!
	12:31pm Cheryl The Nerd: Congrats to Jeremy!
	12:32pm prof.fuzz: howdy y'all

	12:39pm Cheryl The Nerd: Btw... Michael's cinnamon rolls are BANGING!!
	12:39pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "The Girl Can't Help It" by "Little Richard" Great song, great record! Bobby Troup could rock...Dr. Joe Early!
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:39 And Dixie McCall sure could croon...
	12:40pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:40 Yes indeed, and easy on the eyes too...
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:40 being julie london?
	12:41pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "The Girl Can't Help It" by "Little Richard" I got this on a Special-it-y 78 rpm.
	12:41pm John L: ↳ clarke @12:22 A friend is visiting and we are having a jam packed musical weekend. Thankfully every show is in spitting distance: Neko Case, Kate Pierson, Rhett Miller and maybe, The Sloppy Heads and the Hypos.
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:40 The very same ... aka Hot Nurse Dixie McCall
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ John L @12:41 i saw that neko was playing upstate! wow! great on all!
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ John L @12:41 funny how guests make one get out of the house.
	12:42pm gf2002: I loved Emergency as a kid and found out later about the Jack Webb-Julie London-Bobby Troup connection, and wondered how tense things may have gotten on that set. Or maybe not! Maybe it was like the Harrison-Clapton-Pattie deal where they just all got along
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:42 do you think webb ever showed any emotion?? ha ha.
	12:44pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:43 Haha great point. Only when lecturing "Blue Boy" on Dragnet perhaps
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:44 the one time he loses it!
	12:45pm Hughie Considine: Once you were out of Webb's life, he was over you, even if you broke the big galoot's heart. That's how I imagine it anyway.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:45 he never even grimaced
	12:46pm John L: ↳ clarke @12:42 It's part of a 3 day festival. You buy a wristband and access to everything. Pay what you want, but I usually pay 40. Some shows, like Neko, are first come first serve, so I'll be there early
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ John L @12:46 she hasnt played that often lately.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Cut The CAKE" by "AWB" above-average!
	12:47pm gf2002: I think Webb defined the word "stoic" in many ways. Although Johnny Carson did make him break character and laugh during the "copper clappers" skit, which was a rare feat
	12:48pm Alan in Marblehead: Can you ship some coffee cake to Massachusetts?
	12:48pm egould: I felt left out of the coffee cake fun. All I can bake based on what’s in my pantry was cornbread. Just got the cornbread in the oven, and sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on top. Close facsimile?
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:47 didn't see that, will seek.
	12:48pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:47 Warren Oates was similarly stoic.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 he was laughing in one scene i can vaguely remember.... oh, in Stripes.
	12:49pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 did a whole movie where he doesn't even speak (until maybe at the very end?).
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 you're our big toe seargent hulka... - ha ha ha ha OKAY...
	12:50pm Listener Bop Monroe: thnx for a great show DJMS! awoken and bokin' round the table with green tea and rye bread. do that count?
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:49 isn't he drunk and laughing in The Wild Bunch, tho?
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:49 Now that is stoic. Jack Webb never did that.
	12:51pm Hubig Pie: Lighten up Francis.
	12:52pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:48 That reminds me I have the Criterion release of Two Lane Blacktop that is long overdue for a movie night viewing
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:51 they call me Joker.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:52 it's been decades for me!
	12:52pm drr: was W Oates Tector Gorch, or another Gorch?
	12:52pm John L: ↳ clarke @12:47 She's been recording and wrote a memoir. And, I think, working on a musical.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:52 oops: Cruiser!
	12:53pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:52 Perfect late-night viewing. Very little smiling.

	12:54pm StuartR: ↳ Song: "Kids In America" by "Muffs, The" #1 Hit by Kim, Melanie et al
	12:54pm Listener Bop Monroe: this version makes me hate this song less. go muffs!!!!
	12:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Kids In America" by "Muffs, The" Kim Shattuck forever!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: Stripes and Full Metal Jacket are similar in that they're less good once boot camp ends.
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 that is why i said Joker. ha ha. why don't you get on the good side for the big win, son!?!
	12:55pm drr: ↳ John L @12:53 Yep, with Charles Willeford as a cockfight referee, looking exactly like you'd expect him to.
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 two good half-films!
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:55 Just read the Hoke Mosley compendium recently. He's top tier.
	12:56pm Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ Song: "Maharishi" by "Lenny Lacour (released as King Cre... best Fats Domino song EVER!!!!!!!
	12:56pm drr: Warren Oates and Lee Ermey should have teamed up on something. A sitcom about two drill sergeants forced to become roommates or something.
	12:57pm egould: Kim Shattuck has the best rock scream in the history of rock n roll.
	12:57pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 That is a great observation, I couldn't put my finger on why I was never sold completely on Full Metal Jacket and you nailed it, after boot camp and such a strong character from Lee Ermey, the movie kind of drifted around too much. It could have been a better film if it expanded boot camp and ended somehow at deployment. I don't know, just rambling thoughts
	12:57pm drr: ↳ egould @12:57 Seconded!
	12:57pm Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ drr @12:56 joined by Lou Gossett Jr. Hijinx abound.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:56 Ermay seemed like he wanted more roles??
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: Yeah!
	12:58pm clarke: no, i won!!
	12:58pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 That's cuz the Drill Sargeant steals the show in each.
	12:58pm clarke: i think you're drunk!!
	12:58pm Andres: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:30 I was wondering if the judges had enough coffee!
