	10:03pm Flash Strap: Hey LD! Let er rip, brother!
	10:03pm geezerette: clink! clink! clink! clink!
	10:03pm Little Danny: Hello friends! Thanks for arriving on time!
	10:04pm Flash Strap: oh shit this is good
	10:04pm Kris Holmes: Misa says " Play Freebird" :)
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: hello Lil Danny and cool hotties
	10:05pm Doug Schulkind: melinda's avatar looks like its about to bust its way into Little Danny's avatar!
	10:05pm melinda: I like the feeling of moving from one music room to another while I am merely sitting at my computer.
	10:05pm Little Danny: Haha, tell Misa "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't bring that record with me tonight"
	10:06pm Little Danny: I like that too, Melinda! It's like the best house party in the world
	10:06pm melinda: @Doug: haha! Giant muskie on the move, watch out.
	10:07pm melinda: House party for tired homebodies!
	10:07pm Little Danny: hugs to ancient fish and grandmaster Dougs in the comments
	10:07pm coelacanth∅: whew! disaster averted!
	10:07pm Kris Holmes: She says "bullish*t he's at home" lol
	10:07pm Doug Schulkind: In another life I am calling my radio show Giant Muskie on the Move.
	10:08pm Flash Strap: wow, this Bat'ya is amazing! I've only heard that Bat'ya Exodus of yours, LD
	10:08pm coelacanth∅: Pee Wee is a tad Mose Allisonish, i reckon.
	10:08pm Little Danny: @Kris tell Misa "I'll bring it next week" in a sincere voice please!
	10:08pm melinda: I would listen to that show, Doug.
	10:09pm Little Danny: Melinda, I love "house party for tired homebodies" so much
	10:09pm Little Danny: Thanks Flash, it's a mighty good 45
	10:09pm melinda: :)
	10:10pm Little Danny: @coel, you're right but it's the other way around
	10:10pm Flash Strap: Slim! The best, the best
	10:10pm coelacanth∅: Doug, on your other Life's show do you sometimes have other species of fish as guests?
	10:10pm MrFab: My daughter became a bit of a Slim Gaillard fan when she was 4 or so, after I played him in my car. This was one of her faves, she used to call it "Balloon."
	10:11pm geezerette: Party!
	10:12pm Little Danny: MrFab: not surprisingly yer daughter has excellent tastes
	10:12pm Kris Holmes: one of our cats chewed the corner of my (previously) mint Slim Gailliard LP on Dot, i think it was Otis...
	10:13pm Little Danny: Cats are big Slim Gaillard fans so that's unusual
	📉 10:13pm hyde: @Kris ha. my first cat was a plastic chewer. i had my good LP's in plastic bags. this was not ideal.
	10:14pm Kris Holmes: I also thrifted the Slim & Slam 78rpm album but none of the 78s were in it, instead there was a lone Dizzy Gillespie 78.
	10:15pm Kris Holmes: yeah they love LPs in plastic on shelves. perfect climbing & clawing incentives Jerks
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: LD i knew that was possible as i said it. if you're pretty familiar with Crayton - as a qualification! - would you say it's probable Mose was influenced by him?
	10:15pm geezerette: Orientalist lightshow.
	10:16pm Little Danny: Coel: I love Mose but I actually don't know specific artists who influenced him early on. Now I'm curious - any of you google hounds want to look into this?
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: i'll give it a shot, but i think this one will end up being speculative.
	10:21pm geezerette: I'm just going to sit in this corner booth with a few martinis and draw on cocktail napkins with my shades on.
	10:21pm Kris Holmes: Pee Wee Crayton was pretty big at that time in the early 50s, those Modern/Aladdin/Imperial sides were popular & R&B hits, so it's entirely possible
	10:25pm Flash Strap: hahahaa I have listened to hours of consecutive Slim Gaillard tracks before.... end to end till it all made sense... I guess I have the constitution for it! Love his philological, glossolaliac ways
	10:27pm Kris Holmes: In high school he listened to the music of Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan, and his prime inspiration, Nat Cole of the King Cole Trio. playing piano and singing in a style influenced by Nat Cole, Louis Jordan and Erroll Garner. blending the raw blues of his childhood with modern pianistic influences of John Lewis, Thelonius Monk and Al Haig. His vocal style was influenced by blues singers Percy Mayfield and Charles Brown.
	10:27pm Little Danny: That's awesome Flash. I don't know why I chose Gaillard to dump on
	10:28pm Kris Holmes: Nat Cole, Charles Brown & Percy Mayfield are pretty telling signposts for Mose.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: g, i'm going to sit over in this corner, with a book and my lemon-ginger-echinacea juice with irish whiskey...and occasionally sneakily look toward you to see if you've removed your shades for a moment.
	10:30pm Flash Strap: well, I mean, it IS a lot of MACVOOTY! MACVOUTY!
	10:31pm Little Danny: Wow, that's terrific info Kris. Makes sense, tho now I want to go down a rabbit hole of all the artists you listed
	10:31pm Kris Holmes: i just copied from a Mose bio
	📉 10:32pm hyde: me, i'm gonna sit over in this other corner and drink a little rye. i am going to try to avoid any eye contact with coelacanth or geezerette by reading this copy of Murder Can Be Fun
	10:33pm Little Danny: Y'all are hardcore. I'm drinking black tea and thought it felt decadent
	10:35pm melinda: Black tea at night is its own kind of hardcore. I'm drinking lemon water with bitters.
	10:36pm geezerette: haha, coel, I'll just peer briefly over the rims to see what you're reading. Hyde, that'll work! Not turning my head. LD & melinda, very sophisticated !
	📉 10:36pm hyde: i only just recently found this Willie Bobo record. it's a good one.
	10:37pm Kris Holmes: great bobo album this one
	10:37pm Little Danny: I think it's one of Bobo's best Verve LPs
	10:38pm Little Danny: I really need to put together a book of drink recipes based on the exotic tipples that have come up in this show's comments over the last few months
	10:39pm MrFab: Hmm, thought this was Arsenio Rodriguez.Muy bueno.
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: the bar i go to, when i go to a bar, does not serve black tea; but they do have kombucha tea, if you're interested. people often mix it with liquor.
	10:41pm Kris Holmes: i'm trying to think but back in the mid-90s there was a great series of CD comps that i think Capitol put out in cardboard covers (digi paks) with cartoon illustrations on the front, i have the Crayton one in storage & it is outstanding, all the Imperial sides. It's his best stuff.
	10:41pm geezerette: Ramos Fizz. No idea what's in it, no one knows how to make them, but had one once & it was so good.
	10:42pm MrFab: Write it, Danny, write it! Would have a place of honor in my living room corner tiki-bar book 'n' cocktailware shelves.
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: i'm already committed to expanding my horizon in the Pee Wee Crayton direction. -and Thanks for sharing that info Kris, by the way.
	10:43pm Little Danny: Yeah, thanks Kris! I don't know Crayton's work very well either
	10:44pm Little Danny: You have excellent drink memory geezerette, so your brain cells must be doing just fine
	10:45pm Little Danny: MrFab: thanks for the vote, I'd definitely want some laudanum or some such to go with this show!
	10:46pm Kris Holmes: found it online, this is the best place to start www.amazon.com...
	📉 10:46pm hyde: really there needs to be a drink called the Cool Blue Flame. seems like it should be rum and tropical fruit based, with some blue curacao for color. topped with a high proof rum floater that gets lit on fire?
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: i've never heard of a "ramos fizz". but not surprising. i tend to keep the mixtures simple. (though i suppose bringing my own bottled juice as a mixer already may complicate things)
	10:47pm geezerette: Kris, were the covers by this guy?www.shag.com...
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: hyde, yes...and we badass corner dwellers can chuckle as we watch the college boys take shots of it while it's on fire.
	10:49pm geezerette: hyde, that sounds great! It sounds like an actual historical cocktail!
	10:49pm Kris Holmes: don't think they are by shag
	10:50pm MrFab: Ha, geezerette, I met Shag a few months ago at an opening at his gallery. And I met Sid and Marty Kroft there too. (Long story.)
	10:50pm geezerette: coel, combustible mostaches!
	10:52pm Kris Holmes: the whole capitol blues series is pretty cool actually, i looked at the list & remembered i have several others too www.discogs.com...
	10:52pm geezerette: Mrfab, wow! No idea the Krofts were still "here"! They do Uncle Michael's avatar's makeup!
	📉 10:52pm hyde: @geezerette i was actually starting to get OK at making old historical and tiki cocktails, but then i sold my house and had to put all of my weird ingredients into storage. someday i'll get them out and create The Cool Blue Flame...
	📉 10:54pm hyde: @MrFab whoa! the Kroffts were my childhood. big Land of the Lost fan here.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: that's an excellent pic, g! and my badass friends did just that in jr. high school. "flaming hoops" we called 'em. shots of "polish fire water" which i think was overproof vodka. i actually don't remember if i did it or not; but i remember the days of pain my friend Joe (one of the 3 Joes) endured.
	10:56pm geezerette: Kris,terrific artwork! Wonder whose?
	10:59pm Kris Holmes: Joe Ciardiello www.joeciardiello.com
	10:59pm geezerette: hyde, great name for cocktail, would never have thought of it! coel, glad you survived! :)
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: yeah,g - i had one of those starter 'staches too!
	11:00pm geezerette: Kris,oh man those are great! Thanks for posting.
	📉 11:02pm hyde: @geezerette haha. i'm gonna have to license the name from Little Danny. a portion of the proceeds will go to wfmu.
	11:04pm geezerette: Cool Blue Flame and a White Heat. Hyde, incredible fund raising idea! :D
	11:07pm Little Danny: hyde: wow, I'd be honored by such a drink! I'll even try to make it - and post a pic on the playlist!
	11:07pm geezerette: Shag/Krofft collabwww.shag.com...
	📉 11:08pm hyde: that Raga and the Talas thing was written by Jackie Deshannon? huh.
	11:09pm Doug Schulkind: You've got one helluva sequence working, Danny.
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: i like where this is going.
	11:09pm geezerette: "I Should Have Known Better"...:)
	11:09pm melinda: me too
	11:10pm Dano59: I approve of anything by Jackie Dee...
	11:10pm Little Danny: Thanks all!
	📉 11:11pm hyde: @LD go for it!
	11:11pm geezerette: Kind of Seeds...
	11:11pm Little Danny: "I Should Have Known Better" would be a nice name for a novelty drink
	11:11pm MrFab: That's it Geezerette - got the print signed by all 3 of 'em. Our most major art purchase.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: am i wrong to think Jackie DeShannon doesn't get the attention she deserves?
	11:12pm coelacanth∅: yeah, that was seedy!
	11:12pm geezerette: Ha! and who hasn't been THERE? (LD@11:11)
	11:12pm Dano59: she sure didn't for 'Bette Davis Eyes'
	11:13pm Kris Holmes: man that guitar break on this zone v is a real tease :(
	📉 11:14pm hyde: @coel agreed
	11:14pm Dano59: that novelty drink's name suggests a bad decision - several kinds of liquor served in a hurricane glass ... at a Hard Rock Cafe
	11:14pm melinda: I didn't know about her connection to Bette Davis Eyes until a few days ago.
	11:14pm geezerette: MrFab,wow! Great stuff! Cheers!
	11:15pm Little Danny: Damn straight Coel! She's not easily pigeonhole-able, to her detriment
	11:15pm Little Danny: @Dano59 - that's exactly what I picture as well
	11:16pm Dano59: JDS's recording of Splendor in the Grass with the Byrds backing her is pretty amazing
	11:16pm MrFab: I prefer the Dr Demento parody "Marty Feldman Eyes."
	📉 11:17pm hyde: i'd like to go back in time and see the band that Jackie Deshannon and Ry Cooder had together in the early 60's
	11:17pm Little Danny: Dano59, I almost played that tonight! Brilliant minds etc.
	11:18pm geezerette: Little Danny,Best Incorporeal lounge I've ever been to.
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: MrFab, that's good too!
	11:19pm geezerette: hahaha!
	11:19pm Little Danny: Hi praise, geez - thank you my friend
	11:20pm Dano59: ooh this TNK brings me back... I have played it... thinking alike indeed. One of my favorite beatles covers after Petula Clark's Rain.
	11:21pm Dano59: and Yo La Tengo's TNK-laced Simpsons theme.
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: hmm. i made a playlist of around 55 versions of TNK, alternating with original beatles songs, and i overlooked this one somehow.
	11:22pm melinda: @MrFab: I remember that but didn't know who was responsible for it.
	11:23pm Little Danny: I would love to see that playlist coel, TNK always covers interesting, if not well
	11:24pm melinda: There was also "Colonel Sanders Thighs', don't know if it was a song or just a joke someone made in passing.
	11:24pm Little Danny: Did not know about the YLT Simpsons theme, now I gotta catch that
	11:24pm Dano59: I think it might be on the FMU blog, Danny! maybe...
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: it's astounding how many good versions there are of TNK, when the majority of beatles covers aren't very good, in my opinion.
	11:25pm Little Danny: Okay if you find it plz post the link! I really wanna check it out
	📉 11:25pm hyde: ok, got to stay late tonight for once since i'm not working tomorrow, which was a blast. but have to duck out after this crazy amazing set, so i can get up early enough to drive to Mass. in the AM. good night to all my friends. thanks, Little Danny. the show is dynamite.
	11:26pm Dano59: @coel - I need more TNK. My iTunes only yielding Beatles, Chameleons UK, Jr. Parker, and a live version by Robyn Hitchcock.
	11:26pm melinda: goodnight hyde! I'm turning in, too. ciao!
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: a pleasure as always, hyde. tchau
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: and likewise melinda. g'night.
	11:30pm Dano59: here's the YLT closing theme (to the hippie Homer episode 'D'Oh-in in the Wind') www.youtube.com...
	11:30pm geezerette: Good night hyde, melinda, coel !
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: i feel slightly uncomfortable directing people toward another source of music online - even though it's unrealistic to think people who relish the variety of music wfmu offers don't also go to other sources. ...but it's a spotify playlist called "tomorrow never knows".
	11:32pm Dano59: that Jackie D. call was Hyde's, Danny! I know her work, but not like I know, say, J.D. Loudermilk's
	11:33pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: Hi Danny, just got in on a wet and muggy Melb Aus arfternoon, see I've missed a great show, until now. Will listen back when the archive is up. FANTASTIC Dizz tune!!
	11:33pm coelacanth∅: g, does that mean you're leaving - or am i?!
	11:33pm Dano59: that's OK I don't do Spotify on religious grounds but I will read the list...
	11:34pm Little Danny: Oop, sorry Hyde! Credit is all yours
	11:35pm Little Danny: Hi Pete! I thought of you during the Randy Carlos track I played earlier. Oh and also the Willie Bobo
	11:36pm Little Danny: guitarist George Davis everybody
	11:36pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: Hey Danny, will listen both back latter, say whos the guitarist on this Dizz track,?
	11:37pm geezerette: coel, great tip. Thought you were! Now I think I am. Thanks Danny! I'm still listening as I dance out the door.
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: i have a problem with spotify because i've read stories about artist not getting compensated - or not proportionally. i don't know what's true but i do have concerns i'd like to resolve about it.
	11:38pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: Woops there you go George Davis on guitar think theres a great vid of Dizz in 75 with him, resplendant in flares and Afro slingin a big L5, am I right on that, looks like a young black guy, maybe in his 20's?
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: oh, okay! goodnight g!
	11:39pm geezerette: Hey Pete! Good weekend to you!
	11:40pm Little Danny: Pete, it's George Davis. Familiar to you?
	11:41pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: Hi geezerette: cheers thanks, same from me
	11:42pm Little Danny: I can't deal with Spotify, either. Or rather, I just never find myself using it.
	11:45pm Dano59: @coel- my understanding is Spotify made deals with the labels not the artists, paying fractions of pennys vs. actual royalty rates, and all catalog recorded before, I think, 1975 yields NO artist royalties. Eric Roscoe Ambel and others have been vocal opponents.
	11:46pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: George Davis wrote the Nevile bros monster 'Tell it Like It Is in 66!! He's a New Orleans cat Pretty sure he is on Dizzy's video of a live concert in France in 73 or 4 or 5, GREAT vid, got it on VHS some place
	11:46pm Dano59: A couple of these zodiac sex-sign albums were up on Basic Hip Digital Oddio last year. Strange artifacts of their time.
	11:49pm Little Danny: Dano59: that Lord Calvin track was basically a blacklight astrology poster in sound
	11:53pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: Soul Merchants track For Wes rules!!
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: Dano - that's worse than i thought, but i'm not too surprised. that really sucks because i support artists when i can. i buy physical copies and pay for flac files from bandcamp. ...but i cannot afford much, and i have an unquenchable thirst.
	11:56pm Little Danny: Haha, I knew you'd dig it Pete
	12:03am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny. Brilliant programme! 'night all
	12:04am Little Danny: Thanks Coel! Goodnight to you and you and you and you and you and you and you and...

	10:11pm geezerette: Party!
	10:12pm Little Danny: MrFab: not surprisingly yer daughter has excellent tastes
	10:12pm Kris Holmes: one of our cats chewed the corner of my (previously) mint Slim Gailliard LP on Dot, i think it was Otis...
	10:13pm Little Danny: Cats are big Slim Gaillard fans so that's unusual
	📉 10:13pm hyde: @Kris ha. my first cat was a plastic chewer. i had my good LP's in plastic bags. this was not ideal.
	10:14pm Kris Holmes: I also thrifted the Slim & Slam 78rpm album but none of the 78s were in it, instead there was a lone Dizzy Gillespie 78.
	10:15pm Kris Holmes: yeah they love LPs in plastic on shelves. perfect climbing & clawing incentives Jerks
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: LD i knew that was possible as i said it. if you're pretty familiar with Crayton - as a qualification! - would you say it's probable Mose was influenced by him?
	10:15pm geezerette: Orientalist lightshow.
	10:16pm Little Danny: Coel: I love Mose but I actually don't know specific artists who influenced him early on. Now I'm curious - any of you google hounds want to look into this?
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: i'll give it a shot, but i think this one will end up being speculative.
	10:21pm geezerette: I'm just going to sit in this corner booth with a few martinis and draw on cocktail napkins with my shades on.
	10:21pm Kris Holmes: Pee Wee Crayton was pretty big at that time in the early 50s, those Modern/Aladdin/Imperial sides were popular & R&B hits, so it's entirely possible
	10:25pm Flash Strap: hahahaa I have listened to hours of consecutive Slim Gaillard tracks before.... end to end till it all made sense... I guess I have the constitution for it! Love his philological, glossolaliac ways
	10:27pm Kris Holmes: In high school he listened to the music of Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan, and his prime inspiration, Nat Cole of the King Cole Trio. playing piano and singing in a style influenced by Nat Cole, Louis Jordan and Erroll Garner. blending the raw blues of his childhood with modern pianistic influences of John Lewis, Thelonius Monk and Al Haig. His vocal style was influenced by blues singers Percy Mayfield and Charles Brown.
	10:27pm Little Danny: That's awesome Flash. I don't know why I chose Gaillard to dump on
	10:28pm Kris Holmes: Nat Cole, Charles Brown & Percy Mayfield are pretty telling signposts for Mose.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: g, i'm going to sit over in this corner, with a book and my lemon-ginger-echinacea juice with irish whiskey...and occasionally sneakily look toward you to see if you've removed your shades for a moment.
	10:30pm Flash Strap: well, I mean, it IS a lot of MACVOOTY! MACVOUTY!
	10:31pm Little Danny: Wow, that's terrific info Kris. Makes sense, tho now I want to go down a rabbit hole of all the artists you listed
	10:31pm Kris Holmes: i just copied from a Mose bio
	📉 10:32pm hyde: me, i'm gonna sit over in this other corner and drink a little rye. i am going to try to avoid any eye contact with coelacanth or geezerette by reading this copy of Murder Can Be Fun
	10:33pm Little Danny: Y'all are hardcore. I'm drinking black tea and thought it felt decadent
	10:35pm melinda: Black tea at night is its own kind of hardcore. I'm drinking lemon water with bitters.
	10:36pm geezerette: haha, coel, I'll just peer briefly over the rims to see what you're reading. Hyde, that'll work! Not turning my head. LD & melinda, very sophisticated !
	📉 10:36pm hyde: i only just recently found this Willie Bobo record. it's a good one.
	10:37pm Kris Holmes: great bobo album this one
	10:37pm Little Danny: I think it's one of Bobo's best Verve LPs
	10:38pm Little Danny: I really need to put together a book of drink recipes based on the exotic tipples that have come up in this show's comments over the last few months
	10:39pm MrFab: Hmm, thought this was Arsenio Rodriguez.Muy bueno.
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: the bar i go to, when i go to a bar, does not serve black tea; but they do have kombucha tea, if you're interested. people often mix it with liquor.
	10:41pm Kris Holmes: i'm trying to think but back in the mid-90s there was a great series of CD comps that i think Capitol put out in cardboard covers (digi paks) with cartoon illustrations on the front, i have the Crayton one in storage & it is outstanding, all the Imperial sides. It's his best stuff.
	10:41pm geezerette: Ramos Fizz. No idea what's in it, no one knows how to make them, but had one once & it was so good.
	10:42pm MrFab: Write it, Danny, write it! Would have a place of honor in my living room corner tiki-bar book 'n' cocktailware shelves.
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: i'm already committed to expanding my horizon in the Pee Wee Crayton direction. -and Thanks for sharing that info Kris, by the way.
	10:43pm Little Danny: Yeah, thanks Kris! I don't know Crayton's work very well either
	10:44pm Little Danny: You have excellent drink memory geezerette, so your brain cells must be doing just fine
	10:45pm Little Danny: MrFab: thanks for the vote, I'd definitely want some laudanum or some such to go with this show!
	10:46pm Kris Holmes: found it online, this is the best place to start www.amazon.com...
	📉 10:46pm hyde: really there needs to be a drink called the Cool Blue Flame. seems like it should be rum and tropical fruit based, with some blue curacao for color. topped with a high proof rum floater that gets lit on fire?
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: i've never heard of a "ramos fizz". but not surprising. i tend to keep the mixtures simple. (though i suppose bringing my own bottled juice as a mixer already may complicate things)
	10:47pm geezerette: Kris, were the covers by this guy?www.shag.com...
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: hyde, yes...and we badass corner dwellers can chuckle as we watch the college boys take shots of it while it's on fire.
	10:49pm geezerette: hyde, that sounds great! It sounds like an actual historical cocktail!
	10:49pm Kris Holmes: don't think they are by shag
	10:50pm MrFab: Ha, geezerette, I met Shag a few months ago at an opening at his gallery. And I met Sid and Marty Kroft there too. (Long story.)
	10:50pm geezerette: coel, combustible mostaches!
	10:52pm Kris Holmes: the whole capitol blues series is pretty cool actually, i looked at the list & remembered i have several others too www.discogs.com...
	10:52pm geezerette: Mrfab, wow! No idea the Krofts were still "here"! They do Uncle Michael's avatar's makeup!
	📉 10:52pm hyde: @geezerette i was actually starting to get OK at making old historical and tiki cocktails, but then i sold my house and had to put all of my weird ingredients into storage. someday i'll get them out and create The Cool Blue Flame...
	📉 10:54pm hyde: @MrFab whoa! the Kroffts were my childhood. big Land of the Lost fan here.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: that's an excellent pic, g! and my badass friends did just that in jr. high school. "flaming hoops" we called 'em. shots of "polish fire water" which i think was overproof vodka. i actually don't remember if i did it or not; but i remember the days of pain my friend Joe (one of the 3 Joes) endured.
	10:56pm geezerette: Kris,terrific artwork! Wonder whose?
	10:59pm Kris Holmes: Joe Ciardiello www.joeciardiello.com
	10:59pm geezerette: hyde, great name for cocktail, would never have thought of it! coel, glad you survived! :)
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: yeah,g - i had one of those starter 'staches too!
	11:00pm geezerette: Kris,oh man those are great! Thanks for posting.
	📉 11:02pm hyde: @geezerette haha. i'm gonna have to license the name from Little Danny. a portion of the proceeds will go to wfmu.
	11:04pm geezerette: Cool Blue Flame and a White Heat. Hyde, incredible fund raising idea! :D
	11:07pm Little Danny: hyde: wow, I'd be honored by such a drink! I'll even try to make it - and post a pic on the playlist!
	11:07pm geezerette: Shag/Krofft collabwww.shag.com...
	📉 11:08pm hyde: that Raga and the Talas thing was written by Jackie Deshannon? huh.
	11:09pm Doug Schulkind: You've got one helluva sequence working, Danny.
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: i like where this is going.
	11:09pm geezerette: "I Should Have Known Better"...:)
	11:09pm melinda: me too
	11:10pm Dano59: I approve of anything by Jackie Dee...
	11:10pm Little Danny: Thanks all!
	📉 11:11pm hyde: @LD go for it!
	11:11pm geezerette: Kind of Seeds...
	11:11pm Little Danny: "I Should Have Known Better" would be a nice name for a novelty drink
	11:11pm MrFab: That's it Geezerette - got the print signed by all 3 of 'em. Our most major art purchase.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: am i wrong to think Jackie DeShannon doesn't get the attention she deserves?
	11:12pm coelacanth∅: yeah, that was seedy!
	11:12pm geezerette: Ha! and who hasn't been THERE? (LD@11:11)
	11:12pm Dano59: she sure didn't for 'Bette Davis Eyes'
	11:13pm Kris Holmes: man that guitar break on this zone v is a real tease :(
	📉 11:14pm hyde: @coel agreed
	11:14pm Dano59: that novelty drink's name suggests a bad decision - several kinds of liquor served in a hurricane glass ... at a Hard Rock Cafe
	11:14pm melinda: I didn't know about her connection to Bette Davis Eyes until a few days ago.
	11:14pm geezerette: MrFab,wow! Great stuff! Cheers!
	11:15pm Little Danny: Damn straight Coel! She's not easily pigeonhole-able, to her detriment
	11:15pm Little Danny: @Dano59 - that's exactly what I picture as well
	11:16pm Dano59: JDS's recording of Splendor in the Grass with the Byrds backing her is pretty amazing
	11:16pm MrFab: I prefer the Dr Demento parody "Marty Feldman Eyes."
	📉 11:17pm hyde: i'd like to go back in time and see the band that Jackie Deshannon and Ry Cooder had together in the early 60's
	11:17pm Little Danny: Dano59, I almost played that tonight! Brilliant minds etc.
	11:18pm geezerette: Little Danny,Best Incorporeal lounge I've ever been to.
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: MrFab, that's good too!
	11:19pm geezerette: hahaha!
	11:19pm Little Danny: Hi praise, geez - thank you my friend
	11:20pm Dano59: ooh this TNK brings me back... I have played it... thinking alike indeed. One of my favorite beatles covers after Petula Clark's Rain.
	11:21pm Dano59: and Yo La Tengo's TNK-laced Simpsons theme.
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: hmm. i made a playlist of around 55 versions of TNK, alternating with original beatles songs, and i overlooked this one somehow.
	11:22pm melinda: @MrFab: I remember that but didn't know who was responsible for it.
	11:23pm Little Danny: I would love to see that playlist coel, TNK always covers interesting, if not well
	11:24pm melinda: There was also "Colonel Sanders Thighs', don't know if it was a song or just a joke someone made in passing.
	11:24pm Little Danny: Did not know about the YLT Simpsons theme, now I gotta catch that
	11:24pm Dano59: I think it might be on the FMU blog, Danny! maybe...
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: it's astounding how many good versions there are of TNK, when the majority of beatles covers aren't very good, in my opinion.
	11:25pm Little Danny: Okay if you find it plz post the link! I really wanna check it out
	📉 11:25pm hyde: ok, got to stay late tonight for once since i'm not working tomorrow, which was a blast. but have to duck out after this crazy amazing set, so i can get up early enough to drive to Mass. in the AM. good night to all my friends. thanks, Little Danny. the show is dynamite.
	11:26pm Dano59: @coel - I need more TNK. My iTunes only yielding Beatles, Chameleons UK, Jr. Parker, and a live version by Robyn Hitchcock.
	11:26pm melinda: goodnight hyde! I'm turning in, too. ciao!
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: a pleasure as always, hyde. tchau
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: and likewise melinda. g'night.
	11:30pm Dano59: here's the YLT closing theme (to the hippie Homer episode 'D'Oh-in in the Wind') www.youtube.com...
	11:30pm geezerette: Good night hyde, melinda, coel !
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: i feel slightly uncomfortable directing people toward another source of music online - even though it's unrealistic to think people who relish the variety of music wfmu offers don't also go to other sources. ...but it's a spotify playlist called "tomorrow never knows".
	11:32pm Dano59: that Jackie D. call was Hyde's, Danny! I know her work, but not like I know, say, J.D. Loudermilk's
	11:33pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: Hi Danny, just got in on a wet and muggy Melb Aus arfternoon, see I've missed a great show, until now. Will listen back when the archive is up. FANTASTIC Dizz tune!!
	11:33pm coelacanth∅: g, does that mean you're leaving - or am i?!
	11:33pm Dano59: that's OK I don't do Spotify on religious grounds but I will read the list...
	11:34pm Little Danny: Oop, sorry Hyde! Credit is all yours
	11:35pm Little Danny: Hi Pete! I thought of you during the Randy Carlos track I played earlier. Oh and also the Willie Bobo
	11:36pm Little Danny: guitarist George Davis everybody
	11:36pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: Hey Danny, will listen both back latter, say whos the guitarist on this Dizz track,?
	11:37pm geezerette: coel, great tip. Thought you were! Now I think I am. Thanks Danny! I'm still listening as I dance out the door.
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: i have a problem with spotify because i've read stories about artist not getting compensated - or not proportionally. i don't know what's true but i do have concerns i'd like to resolve about it.
	11:38pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: Woops there you go George Davis on guitar think theres a great vid of Dizz in 75 with him, resplendant in flares and Afro slingin a big L5, am I right on that, looks like a young black guy, maybe in his 20's?
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: oh, okay! goodnight g!
	11:39pm geezerette: Hey Pete! Good weekend to you!
	11:40pm Little Danny: Pete, it's George Davis. Familiar to you?
	11:41pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: Hi geezerette: cheers thanks, same from me
	11:42pm Little Danny: I can't deal with Spotify, either. Or rather, I just never find myself using it.
	11:45pm Dano59: @coel- my understanding is Spotify made deals with the labels not the artists, paying fractions of pennys vs. actual royalty rates, and all catalog recorded before, I think, 1975 yields NO artist royalties. Eric Roscoe Ambel and others have been vocal opponents.
	11:46pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: George Davis wrote the Nevile bros monster 'Tell it Like It Is in 66!! He's a New Orleans cat Pretty sure he is on Dizzy's video of a live concert in France in 73 or 4 or 5, GREAT vid, got it on VHS some place
	11:46pm Dano59: A couple of these zodiac sex-sign albums were up on Basic Hip Digital Oddio last year. Strange artifacts of their time.
	11:49pm Little Danny: Dano59: that Lord Calvin track was basically a blacklight astrology poster in sound
	11:53pm Pete from Melbourne Austraila: Soul Merchants track For Wes rules!!
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: Dano - that's worse than i thought, but i'm not too surprised. that really sucks because i support artists when i can. i buy physical copies and pay for flac files from bandcamp. ...but i cannot afford much, and i have an unquenchable thirst.
	11:56pm Little Danny: Haha, I knew you'd dig it Pete
	12:03am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny. Brilliant programme! 'night all
	12:04am Little Danny: Thanks Coel! Goodnight to you and you and you and you and you and you and you and...
