	3:53pm Bill Mac: 7 minutes to Wapner!
	4:02pm V Priceless: yo ho ho and a bottle of Brioschi! Hey Bill!
	4:02pm melinda: Hi Bill and friends! Let the party roll on.
	4:03pm Bill Mac: Hellooooooooo you all!!!
	4:07pm JakeGould: Hey Bill! Nice to hear you on a fill in.
	4:08pm Parq: Doing some work around the house. Looking forward to the good company.
	4:08pm Dean: It's An Elpee and Two Epees, isn't it?
	4:08pm Bill Mac: Hiya Jake & Parq, good to be here. Studio B is the... place to be....
	4:09pm Bill Mac: Hey Dean, that's right. What a deep catalogue this guys has - even Wyatt covers a tune.
	4:09pm Stanley: Greetings from Ivor Cutler-Land
	4:11pm Bill Mac: Hey Stanner!
	4:13pm Bill Mac: I wonder how much money you can make being an eccentric
	4:13pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Bill, and Zzzzzzeroheads. See that doc about Glen, "I'll be Me?" Heart-rending.
	4:14pm Stanley: I can assure you, it's not that much.
	4:15pm doctorjazz: Hi, sounding great!
	4:17pm Bill Mac: @Sem Found it on the ipod. Actually the ipod picked 3 of the 4 songs I played so far. I did the rest on my own! Really!!!
	4:17pm Bill Mac: @DJ Thanks man, good to see you!
	4:23pm geezerette: Hey! Splashing in the monsoonal soup of steamy Tinsel Town.
	4:24pm Bill Mac: At least it's a dry soup!
	4:25pm Sem Chumbo: Behold the majesty of opposable thumbs, now that's some evolutionin', Lou.
	4:27pm geezerette: "Steamy"was not a metaphor!
	4:27pm Bill Mac: I don't know what you're smoking Sem, but that bit of conversation might become a show title in the future
	4:32pm geezerette: Sem,I be holdin' the majesty of opposable thumbs around pencils.
	4:33pm Sem Chumbo: Heh, heh.
	4:33pm Dean: Can't thumbs just all get along?
	4:34pm geezerette: ha!
	4:34pm geezerette: obstructionist thumbs
	4:35pm Sem Chumbo: Waiter! There's thumbthing funny in my soup!
	4:35pm geezerette: ((((( :D ))))
	4:44pm Stanley: I think this is Miles from his 'Alien Spider' period.
	4:45pm Parq: Narrow escape here at Casa Parq -- the moment we've been dreading, the kid got trapped on a dead subway train. (For those of you not in the NYC area, that has been happening a lot this summer.) Fortunately, they were able to evacuate the train relatively quickly and without injury.
	4:46pm Bill Mac: How much playng is he doing on this? Another cut has him noodling on the keyboard
	4:46pm Bill Mac: @Parq-That only has to happen to you once.
	4:48pm Stanley: @Parq: sounds heavy but glad it was okay.
	4:53pm JakeGould: Corruption is a thing.
	4:54pm geezerette: Parq, whew!
	5:00pm geezerette: An Oscar Peterson cool down. :)
	5:10pm Parq: Bill @ 4:46 - unfortunately, I'm the only one in the family in whose life subway travel isn't a constant presence. I fear this will happen to one or both of my girls again.
	5:13pm doctorjazz: I saw Miles late in his career, he spent more time noodling at the keyboard than blowing his horn.
	5:13pm melinda: The poor maintenance of infrastructure in the U.S. is shameful.
	5:14pm Bill Mac: What a drag. I've been out city life for over 35 years now and I more often than not blank out the bad stuff. Never liked subway travel.
	5:15pm pacific standard simon: What a glorious din.
	5:16pm KP: Bill Mac is that you making that racket?
	5:16pm Bill Mac: Heyo Simon!
	5:17pm Bill Mac: King Penguin in zee houze,,,,
	5:17pm geezerette: How romantic.
	5:17pm melinda: The subway song featured in David D's show intro comes from a charming vintage Sesame Street number featuring a muppet version of 70s era NY subway travel.
	5:18pm Bill Mac: @DJ - wow, must have been during this period.
	5:18pm KP: Eep eep
	5:18pm Bill Mac: @Melinda - the way subway travel should be
	5:21pm pacific standard simon: I live on an island in Puget Sound, and haven't been to Seattle for so long I can't remember how long. Very peaceful, except when the tourists invade.
	5:25pm Dean: Don't eat the salmon, @pss: http://myscienceacademy.org/2017/07/16/seattle-caught-salmon-found-contain-cocaine-antidepressants-pain-relievers/
	5:26pm pacific standard simon: Did Fiery Furnaces feature Chrissy Hynde on vocals? That sounded eerily familiar.
	5:27pm Bill Mac: Jeez if the trains don't get you the fish will!
	5:28pm pacific standard simon: @Dean That's a bad thing?
	5:28pm Parq: Dean, or do eat it, depending on your inclination.
	5:29pm V Priceless: killer tunes, Bill!
	5:29pm Stanley: I haven't heard this in an age.
	5:29pm Dean: "I'll try the salmon, with a side of cocaine."
	5:30pm Sem Chumbo: ^^^, what V Priceless said. Been in the kitchen witha dinah. listening along.
	5:30pm Bill Mac: What nobody caught the Bowie tune I slipped in there?
	5:31pm V Priceless: abowie! yep!
	5:31pm geezerette: Davy Jones!
	5:32pm Parq: I've been a tourist in Seattle, and I try to act like I would want tourists in NYC to act (of course, they rarely do).
	5:32pm V Priceless: Miriam covered that DB track on her last disc
	5:33pm the missus: Electric Warrior
	5:34pm KP: I was just talking of the album in which he plays with band and canned applause, screams were dubbed over. It actaully sounds awesome.
	5:35pm KP: That's Bolan ^
	5:36pm geezerette: Doing the Tarantino.
	5:36pm Parq: The kid made it here, by the way, and she dug the Baby Driver track. Where to begin to tell a 26 year old about T-Rex?
	5:37pm melinda: I deal with tourists at work all the time during summer, most are pleasant, and it's always interesting to observe people from other parts of the country/world.
	5:37pm pacific standard simon: I've never heard any T Rex that I hated. Much that I loved. Especially Electric Warrior.
	5:38pm melinda: If they swarmed the entire city that might be a different matter.
	5:40pm KP: Saw Eleanor Friedberger of FF come out as guest at a concert by an FMU sort of associated act and she just stole whole thing with a Patti Smith mini set
	5:42pm Bill Mac: Yikes that's right! Eleanor Friedberger. What I've heard of FF is top notch
	5:46pm pacific standard simon: My island gets a different breed of tourist, the cruise ship and and shuttle and ferry types. Enormous, cane-leaning, and garbage strewing. Only in the height of summer, fortunately.
	5:47pm Bill Mac: Happens all over. It's why we don't hit the east coast beaches til after the season is over.
	5:48pm melinda: I don't know a lot of T Rex but like what I've heard. Ride a White Swan is extra good.
	5:49pm Bill Mac: It's pretty consistent
	5:51pm Sem Chumbo: Really dig the Lillies, nice spin, Bill. Thanks.
	5:52pm Bill Mac: We went through a Lillies jag about 10 years back. Fun band
	5:53pm pacific standard simon: Dig the 'lillies the most!
	5:53pm geezerette: Have you guys seen the strange little movie Marc Bolan and Ringo made together? It's one of those awful but fun to watch films. Sort of a directionless, long music video .
	5:55pm Dean: Attended a party on Sunday where an Italian native, now settled here in the Bay Area, mentioned this issue regarding cruise ships: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ceciliarodriguez/2016/09/29/venice-is-fed-up-with-cruise-ships-and-angry-protesters-are-blocking-them/#4dab6693f610
	5:55pm Bill Mac: Need to check the interwebs for that.
	5:57pm Stanley: This Abba cover is quite creepy
	5:58pm Bill Mac: An then there's Yoko....
	5:58pm Stanley: Oh no Yoko (leaves room etc)
	6:01pm pacific standard simon: Zzzzzzero Hour is like one of those pizza parlors that feature arcade games. But in a GOOD way.
	6:01pm geezerette: Cruise ships are purgatory. Wherever they go they're parked one after another for miles. It's like every 15 minutes an entire city invades your town, buys the same things, asks the same questions, behaves the same way, and leaves. Locals resent it but economies depend on it.
	6:02pm Bill Mac: Me like-um arcade games -n- pizza!!
	6:02pm Stanley: Good, it's safe to come back in.
	6:03pm glenn: personally, i think cruise ships are beyond ridiculous, not to mention pointless as fuck.
	6:03pm pacific standard simon: Notice that Yoko mentioned opening most but not all holes...
	6:03pm Bill Mac: There were some bugs and small animals within 90 yards of the studio that I needed to immobilize
	6:06pm geezerette: It's...so... HOT here...ugh.
	6:07pm melinda: Bill you are wise to avoid cruises. Regarding their impact on local economies, the ones that come here bring some $ but not as much as people think. They often take buses to neighboring towns with shopping malls and outlets.
	6:08pm Stanley: My pal plays bass in a band on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. He says the buffets are piled high with fancy foods, far to much for the passengers to eat so tons of it gets thrown overboard every day.
	6:08pm melinda: Then there's the diarrhea outbreaks.
	6:09pm geezerette: yuck!!!
	6:11pm pacific standard simon: There's an awesome cover of "Knowing Me, Knowing You", by a down-under band named, I think, Laundrette. Far moodier than the original.
	6:13pm Stanley: Time for me to make a slow and dignified exit. Got an arse of a day, tomorrow, so better get to bed. Thanks for the tunes, Bill. 'Night all.
	6:14pm Sem Chumbo: See ya later, Stanley!
	6:15pm melinda: Ta, Stanley!
	6:15pm Sem Chumbo: So good and out there. God Bless TW.
	6:16pm Bill Mac: You picked a good time to go! See ya soon!
	6:16pm pacific standard simon: The only cruise I would go on would be the one to Antarctica. Because, you know, FUCKING ANTARCTICA.
	6:18pm KP: Still here? What is this, overtime?
	6:18pm Bill Mac: Hey nowadays you don't come to Antarctica, Antarctica comes to you
	6:18pm Bill Mac: 3 hours man! I started at 4
	6:20pm KP: Go for four!
	6:20pm KP: Anyway, great to hear you in these troubled times, Bill
	6:20pm Dean: I can't wrap my head around what appears to be very successful annual progressive rock cruise, Cruise to the Edge, sponsored by Yes. I loved attending Yes concerts in the '70s, even one (1976) in Las Vegas (last time I've ever been there). But a cruise?!
	6:22pm V Priceless: OMG is there no greater band name than Ass Baboons of Venus??
	6:23pm Sem Chumbo: Now there's a band I'd go on a cruise with.
	6:23pm V Priceless: @ Dean - been on a few - total blast!
	6:23pm Bill Mac: VP They make me larf!
	6:24pm Bill Mac: Thanks KP glad to see you're still in the mix
	6:24pm Dean: Fat & Fucked Up was a pretty good band name, too. @VP, Yeah, my prog-loving buddies whom I accompanied to those old Yes shows maintain it's an enjoyable part of a week. I couldn't do it. For instance, I bet there's no library on the ship. I gotta have a library.
	6:25pm pacific standard simon: If you ever did a regular show again, Bill, this would be a good day and time for me.
	6:26pm Bill Mac: @Dean Is that a thing?! Hah!!!
	6:27pm V Priceless: @ Dean - scheduling can be a bit hectic - running from one end of the ship to the other to catch different acts, but nothing beats standing on the breakfast buffet line with the likes of Eddie Jobson, etc. Surreal is an understatement.
	6:28pm KP: There's two Yes groups out there now. Both are legit, apparently
	6:28pm Dean: The Cruise? Or F&FU? Either way, yes...a thing! @VP, Maybe it doesn't beat standing on the buffet line with Jobson, but I had a beer with Peter Brotzmann at a Vision Festival, and stood next to William Parker at adjacent urinals at the same festival!
	6:32pm Dean: Pablo Cruise should have a cruise.
	6:33pm pacific standard simon: Eddie Jobson could make a huge retirement out of doing cruises and reunions with all the bands he's played in.
	6:35pm Sem Chumbo: Yeah, could be worse, cruising with Kid Rock, with incipient explosive diarrhea just one skanky shrimp hors d'oeuvre away.
	6:35pm V Priceless: there's a Moody Blues cruise coming up in January - w/Strawbs, Caravan, Zombies, Lighthouse, Ides of March, Ambrosia, etc.
	6:36pm Dean: Senator. Dwayne "The Rock' Johnson is toying with prexy.
	6:37pm geezerette: Tom Cruise probably pilots Sea Org cruise ships. Didn't David Foster Wallace include a piece on cruise ships in "Ten Supposedly Fun Things I Will Never Do Again"?
	6:38pm Bill Mac: @VP - Wow, I'd actually like to see several of those bands. Lighthouse huh?
	6:38pm Bill Mac: @VP - Wow, I'd actually like to see several of those bands. Lighthouse huh?
	6:38pm Sem Chumbo: That kettle drum thing kills me.
	6:39pm V Priceless: @ Bill - yeah, it's a neat, kinda off-beat line-up
	6:39pm geezerette: Bill, love your shows. Thank you!
	6:39pm Sem Chumbo: @geezerette: one of the truly readable and re-readable of his magazine work.
	6:40pm V Priceless: ha! there you go!
	6:40pm Bill Mac: Thanks G... thanks for being here... makes it more fun for me
	6:40pm Bill Mac: @VP Twas in the pocket
	6:41pm Sem Chumbo: Met Skip Prokop years after Lighthouse, in a tavern where he was managing a young phenom singer. The singer, alas, was not so phenom as all that.
	6:43pm Sem Chumbo: Thanks to CanCon, one heard this a very great deal in the great white north on the AM radio.
	6:43pm Dean: A ton of airplay in SoCal, too.
	6:45pm glenn: eddy jobson? curved air and roxy music. who else?
	6:45pm V Priceless: UK
	6:46pm Bill Mac: The ONLY place you can casually name drop Skip Prokop and not get thrown out!!!
	6:47pm pacific standard simon: @glenn Zappa. There's tons of Zappa tribute bands.
	6:48pm Sem Chumbo: I must live right.
	6:49pm Dean: One of a kind, Cedell Davis.
	6:49pm glenn: eddy jobson played with zappa?
	6:49pm geezerette: Ted Cruze should give a TED talk on a Tom Cruise cruise.
	6:49pm Brian in UK: I hear the call.
	6:50pm Bill Mac: @BiUK Aaaagh! Frenchman!
	6:51pm Dean: Special guest, Brandon Cruz. Seems like Sailor should be invited to play, too.
	6:51pm pacific standard simon: I actually find Yoko Ono much more listenable than Lighthouse. Seriously, a thirteen member band?
	6:51pm Sem Chumbo: Got any runny stinky cheese on ya?
	6:52pm Brian in UK: You bet. I'll bring the cheese trolley round.
	6:52pm geezerette: Hmmm...if everyone here...were there...maybe!
	6:53pm Sem Chumbo: How about cheddar?
	6:53pm Bill Mac: Tonight on the Drummer Stream: Neighbors Noise with Jesse Kaminsky 7 - 10 The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes 10 - midnight
	6:53pm Brian in UK: Not very popular, squire.
	6:54pm Sem Chumbo: Not very popular? It's the single most popular cheese IN THE WORLD!
	6:54pm V Priceless: swell show, Bill! Thank ya!
	6:55pm northguineahills: Crap, I got here late...
	6:55pm KP: Can't post to alt channels on my iPhone so im back to say goodnight and good luck, Bill!
	6:55pm Bill Mac: Damn, I got chills, it must be time to go.... stay warm until August 6th! See you then!!!
	6:56pm geezerette: I could go for a Corona and some cheddar.
	6:56pm Sem Chumbo: Thanks, BiUK. A jolly good sport, old trout. Hello, I must be going. See you on the 6th, Bill, all.
	6:56pm pacific standard simon: @glenn Certainly, when Roxy went on hiatus in the mid-'70s.
	6:56pm Brian in UK: ....and you, Sem.
	6:57pm geezerette: cheers Sem. Tanks Bill!
	6:57pm melinda: Thanks Bill!
	6:59pm Brian in UK: Drive safely, Bill.
	10:09am Brian in UK: My wife was also a big T Rex fan. Deborah is Tyranosaurus Rex before the abbreviation. I was in One Stop Records in London circa 1972 asking about a new record and this little fella in ballet pumps and loons carrying Chuck Berry and T Rex albums tells me info (incorrect as it turns out) about the record. Yes it was Bolan. My wife was not happy when I told her years later. Apart from both of them both wanting to be stars so urgently, Bowie had the talent to keep it going.
	10:16am Brian in UK: Cruises, schmoozes. These people have to do something cause if you take away Hip Hop and autotune there is nothing left.

	4:33pm Dean: Can't thumbs just all get along?
	4:34pm geezerette: ha!
	4:34pm geezerette: obstructionist thumbs
	4:35pm Sem Chumbo: Waiter! There's thumbthing funny in my soup!
	4:35pm geezerette: ((((( :D ))))
	4:44pm Stanley: I think this is Miles from his 'Alien Spider' period.
	4:45pm Parq: Narrow escape here at Casa Parq -- the moment we've been dreading, the kid got trapped on a dead subway train. (For those of you not in the NYC area, that has been happening a lot this summer.) Fortunately, they were able to evacuate the train relatively quickly and without injury.
	4:46pm Bill Mac: How much playng is he doing on this? Another cut has him noodling on the keyboard
	4:46pm Bill Mac: @Parq-That only has to happen to you once.
	4:48pm Stanley: @Parq: sounds heavy but glad it was okay.
	4:53pm JakeGould: Corruption is a thing.
	4:54pm geezerette: Parq, whew!
	5:00pm geezerette: An Oscar Peterson cool down. :)
	5:10pm Parq: Bill @ 4:46 - unfortunately, I'm the only one in the family in whose life subway travel isn't a constant presence. I fear this will happen to one or both of my girls again.
	5:13pm doctorjazz: I saw Miles late in his career, he spent more time noodling at the keyboard than blowing his horn.
	5:13pm melinda: The poor maintenance of infrastructure in the U.S. is shameful.
	5:14pm Bill Mac: What a drag. I've been out city life for over 35 years now and I more often than not blank out the bad stuff. Never liked subway travel.
	5:15pm pacific standard simon: What a glorious din.
	5:16pm KP: Bill Mac is that you making that racket?
	5:16pm Bill Mac: Heyo Simon!
	5:17pm Bill Mac: King Penguin in zee houze,,,,
	5:17pm geezerette: How romantic.
	5:17pm melinda: The subway song featured in David D's show intro comes from a charming vintage Sesame Street number featuring a muppet version of 70s era NY subway travel.
	5:18pm Bill Mac: @DJ - wow, must have been during this period.
	5:18pm KP: Eep eep
	5:18pm Bill Mac: @Melinda - the way subway travel should be
	5:21pm pacific standard simon: I live on an island in Puget Sound, and haven't been to Seattle for so long I can't remember how long. Very peaceful, except when the tourists invade.
	5:25pm Dean: Don't eat the salmon, @pss: http://myscienceacademy.org/2017/07/16/seattle-caught-salmon-found-contain-cocaine-antidepressants-pain-relievers/
	5:26pm pacific standard simon: Did Fiery Furnaces feature Chrissy Hynde on vocals? That sounded eerily familiar.
	5:27pm Bill Mac: Jeez if the trains don't get you the fish will!
	5:28pm pacific standard simon: @Dean That's a bad thing?
	5:28pm Parq: Dean, or do eat it, depending on your inclination.
	5:29pm V Priceless: killer tunes, Bill!
	5:29pm Stanley: I haven't heard this in an age.
	5:29pm Dean: "I'll try the salmon, with a side of cocaine."
	5:30pm Sem Chumbo: ^^^, what V Priceless said. Been in the kitchen witha dinah. listening along.
	5:30pm Bill Mac: What nobody caught the Bowie tune I slipped in there?
	5:31pm V Priceless: abowie! yep!
	5:31pm geezerette: Davy Jones!
	5:32pm Parq: I've been a tourist in Seattle, and I try to act like I would want tourists in NYC to act (of course, they rarely do).
	5:32pm V Priceless: Miriam covered that DB track on her last disc
	5:33pm the missus: Electric Warrior
	5:34pm KP: I was just talking of the album in which he plays with band and canned applause, screams were dubbed over. It actaully sounds awesome.
	5:35pm KP: That's Bolan ^
	5:36pm geezerette: Doing the Tarantino.
	5:36pm Parq: The kid made it here, by the way, and she dug the Baby Driver track. Where to begin to tell a 26 year old about T-Rex?
	5:37pm melinda: I deal with tourists at work all the time during summer, most are pleasant, and it's always interesting to observe people from other parts of the country/world.
	5:37pm pacific standard simon: I've never heard any T Rex that I hated. Much that I loved. Especially Electric Warrior.
	5:38pm melinda: If they swarmed the entire city that might be a different matter.
	5:40pm KP: Saw Eleanor Friedberger of FF come out as guest at a concert by an FMU sort of associated act and she just stole whole thing with a Patti Smith mini set
	5:42pm Bill Mac: Yikes that's right! Eleanor Friedberger. What I've heard of FF is top notch
	5:46pm pacific standard simon: My island gets a different breed of tourist, the cruise ship and and shuttle and ferry types. Enormous, cane-leaning, and garbage strewing. Only in the height of summer, fortunately.
	5:47pm Bill Mac: Happens all over. It's why we don't hit the east coast beaches til after the season is over.
	5:48pm melinda: I don't know a lot of T Rex but like what I've heard. Ride a White Swan is extra good.
	5:49pm Bill Mac: It's pretty consistent
	5:51pm Sem Chumbo: Really dig the Lillies, nice spin, Bill. Thanks.
	5:52pm Bill Mac: We went through a Lillies jag about 10 years back. Fun band
	5:53pm pacific standard simon: Dig the 'lillies the most!
	5:53pm geezerette: Have you guys seen the strange little movie Marc Bolan and Ringo made together? It's one of those awful but fun to watch films. Sort of a directionless, long music video .
	5:55pm Dean: Attended a party on Sunday where an Italian native, now settled here in the Bay Area, mentioned this issue regarding cruise ships: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ceciliarodriguez/2016/09/29/venice-is-fed-up-with-cruise-ships-and-angry-protesters-are-blocking-them/#4dab6693f610
	5:55pm Bill Mac: Need to check the interwebs for that.
	5:57pm Stanley: This Abba cover is quite creepy
	5:58pm Bill Mac: An then there's Yoko....
	5:58pm Stanley: Oh no Yoko (leaves room etc)
	6:01pm pacific standard simon: Zzzzzzero Hour is like one of those pizza parlors that feature arcade games. But in a GOOD way.
	6:01pm geezerette: Cruise ships are purgatory. Wherever they go they're parked one after another for miles. It's like every 15 minutes an entire city invades your town, buys the same things, asks the same questions, behaves the same way, and leaves. Locals resent it but economies depend on it.
	6:02pm Bill Mac: Me like-um arcade games -n- pizza!!
	6:02pm Stanley: Good, it's safe to come back in.
	6:03pm glenn: personally, i think cruise ships are beyond ridiculous, not to mention pointless as fuck.
	6:03pm pacific standard simon: Notice that Yoko mentioned opening most but not all holes...
	6:03pm Bill Mac: There were some bugs and small animals within 90 yards of the studio that I needed to immobilize
	6:06pm geezerette: It's...so... HOT here...ugh.
	6:07pm melinda: Bill you are wise to avoid cruises. Regarding their impact on local economies, the ones that come here bring some $ but not as much as people think. They often take buses to neighboring towns with shopping malls and outlets.
	6:08pm Stanley: My pal plays bass in a band on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. He says the buffets are piled high with fancy foods, far to much for the passengers to eat so tons of it gets thrown overboard every day.
	6:08pm melinda: Then there's the diarrhea outbreaks.
	6:09pm geezerette: yuck!!!
	6:11pm pacific standard simon: There's an awesome cover of "Knowing Me, Knowing You", by a down-under band named, I think, Laundrette. Far moodier than the original.
	6:13pm Stanley: Time for me to make a slow and dignified exit. Got an arse of a day, tomorrow, so better get to bed. Thanks for the tunes, Bill. 'Night all.
	6:14pm Sem Chumbo: See ya later, Stanley!
	6:15pm melinda: Ta, Stanley!
	6:15pm Sem Chumbo: So good and out there. God Bless TW.
	6:16pm Bill Mac: You picked a good time to go! See ya soon!
	6:16pm pacific standard simon: The only cruise I would go on would be the one to Antarctica. Because, you know, FUCKING ANTARCTICA.
	6:18pm KP: Still here? What is this, overtime?
	6:18pm Bill Mac: Hey nowadays you don't come to Antarctica, Antarctica comes to you
	6:18pm Bill Mac: 3 hours man! I started at 4
	6:20pm KP: Go for four!
	6:20pm KP: Anyway, great to hear you in these troubled times, Bill
	6:20pm Dean: I can't wrap my head around what appears to be very successful annual progressive rock cruise, Cruise to the Edge, sponsored by Yes. I loved attending Yes concerts in the '70s, even one (1976) in Las Vegas (last time I've ever been there). But a cruise?!
	6:22pm V Priceless: OMG is there no greater band name than Ass Baboons of Venus??
	6:23pm Sem Chumbo: Now there's a band I'd go on a cruise with.
	6:23pm V Priceless: @ Dean - been on a few - total blast!
	6:23pm Bill Mac: VP They make me larf!
	6:24pm Bill Mac: Thanks KP glad to see you're still in the mix
	6:24pm Dean: Fat & Fucked Up was a pretty good band name, too. @VP, Yeah, my prog-loving buddies whom I accompanied to those old Yes shows maintain it's an enjoyable part of a week. I couldn't do it. For instance, I bet there's no library on the ship. I gotta have a library.
	6:25pm pacific standard simon: If you ever did a regular show again, Bill, this would be a good day and time for me.
	6:26pm Bill Mac: @Dean Is that a thing?! Hah!!!
	6:27pm V Priceless: @ Dean - scheduling can be a bit hectic - running from one end of the ship to the other to catch different acts, but nothing beats standing on the breakfast buffet line with the likes of Eddie Jobson, etc. Surreal is an understatement.
	6:28pm KP: There's two Yes groups out there now. Both are legit, apparently
	6:28pm Dean: The Cruise? Or F&FU? Either way, yes...a thing! @VP, Maybe it doesn't beat standing on the buffet line with Jobson, but I had a beer with Peter Brotzmann at a Vision Festival, and stood next to William Parker at adjacent urinals at the same festival!
	6:32pm Dean: Pablo Cruise should have a cruise.
	6:33pm pacific standard simon: Eddie Jobson could make a huge retirement out of doing cruises and reunions with all the bands he's played in.
	6:35pm Sem Chumbo: Yeah, could be worse, cruising with Kid Rock, with incipient explosive diarrhea just one skanky shrimp hors d'oeuvre away.
	6:35pm V Priceless: there's a Moody Blues cruise coming up in January - w/Strawbs, Caravan, Zombies, Lighthouse, Ides of March, Ambrosia, etc.
	6:36pm Dean: Senator. Dwayne "The Rock' Johnson is toying with prexy.
	6:37pm geezerette: Tom Cruise probably pilots Sea Org cruise ships. Didn't David Foster Wallace include a piece on cruise ships in "Ten Supposedly Fun Things I Will Never Do Again"?
	6:38pm Bill Mac: @VP - Wow, I'd actually like to see several of those bands. Lighthouse huh?
	6:38pm Bill Mac: @VP - Wow, I'd actually like to see several of those bands. Lighthouse huh?
	6:38pm Sem Chumbo: That kettle drum thing kills me.
	6:39pm V Priceless: @ Bill - yeah, it's a neat, kinda off-beat line-up
	6:39pm geezerette: Bill, love your shows. Thank you!
	6:39pm Sem Chumbo: @geezerette: one of the truly readable and re-readable of his magazine work.
	6:40pm V Priceless: ha! there you go!
	6:40pm Bill Mac: Thanks G... thanks for being here... makes it more fun for me
	6:40pm Bill Mac: @VP Twas in the pocket
	6:41pm Sem Chumbo: Met Skip Prokop years after Lighthouse, in a tavern where he was managing a young phenom singer. The singer, alas, was not so phenom as all that.
	6:43pm Sem Chumbo: Thanks to CanCon, one heard this a very great deal in the great white north on the AM radio.
	6:43pm Dean: A ton of airplay in SoCal, too.
	6:45pm glenn: eddy jobson? curved air and roxy music. who else?
	6:45pm V Priceless: UK
	6:46pm Bill Mac: The ONLY place you can casually name drop Skip Prokop and not get thrown out!!!
	6:47pm pacific standard simon: @glenn Zappa. There's tons of Zappa tribute bands.
	6:48pm Sem Chumbo: I must live right.
	6:49pm Dean: One of a kind, Cedell Davis.
	6:49pm glenn: eddy jobson played with zappa?
	6:49pm geezerette: Ted Cruze should give a TED talk on a Tom Cruise cruise.
	6:49pm Brian in UK: I hear the call.
	6:50pm Bill Mac: @BiUK Aaaagh! Frenchman!
	6:51pm Dean: Special guest, Brandon Cruz. Seems like Sailor should be invited to play, too.
	6:51pm pacific standard simon: I actually find Yoko Ono much more listenable than Lighthouse. Seriously, a thirteen member band?
	6:51pm Sem Chumbo: Got any runny stinky cheese on ya?
	6:52pm Brian in UK: You bet. I'll bring the cheese trolley round.
	6:52pm geezerette: Hmmm...if everyone here...were there...maybe!
	6:53pm Sem Chumbo: How about cheddar?
	6:53pm Bill Mac: Tonight on the Drummer Stream: Neighbors Noise with Jesse Kaminsky 7 - 10 The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes 10 - midnight
	6:53pm Brian in UK: Not very popular, squire.
	6:54pm Sem Chumbo: Not very popular? It's the single most popular cheese IN THE WORLD!
	6:54pm V Priceless: swell show, Bill! Thank ya!
	6:55pm northguineahills: Crap, I got here late...
	6:55pm KP: Can't post to alt channels on my iPhone so im back to say goodnight and good luck, Bill!
	6:55pm Bill Mac: Damn, I got chills, it must be time to go.... stay warm until August 6th! See you then!!!
	6:56pm geezerette: I could go for a Corona and some cheddar.
	6:56pm Sem Chumbo: Thanks, BiUK. A jolly good sport, old trout. Hello, I must be going. See you on the 6th, Bill, all.
	6:56pm pacific standard simon: @glenn Certainly, when Roxy went on hiatus in the mid-'70s.
	6:56pm Brian in UK: ....and you, Sem.
	6:57pm geezerette: cheers Sem. Tanks Bill!
	6:57pm melinda: Thanks Bill!
	6:59pm Brian in UK: Drive safely, Bill.
	10:09am Brian in UK: My wife was also a big T Rex fan. Deborah is Tyranosaurus Rex before the abbreviation. I was in One Stop Records in London circa 1972 asking about a new record and this little fella in ballet pumps and loons carrying Chuck Berry and T Rex albums tells me info (incorrect as it turns out) about the record. Yes it was Bolan. My wife was not happy when I told her years later. Apart from both of them both wanting to be stars so urgently, Bowie had the talent to keep it going.
	10:16am Brian in UK: Cruises, schmoozes. These people have to do something cause if you take away Hip Hop and autotune there is nothing left.
