WFMU: The Flange & Frigate with DJ GeorgyGirl: Playlist from November 15, 2019

Listener comments!
	3:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Time to get yer Scouse in in just over five minutes! :-)
	4:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here we go! :-)
	4:02pm Linda Lee: hello! Scouse?
	4:02pm Jan Turkenburg: Yes Merseybeat!
	4:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Linda! Hi Jan! :-)
	4:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Scouse or Scouser is the nickname for people from Liverpool :-)
	4:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And also their accent ;-)
	4:03pm chresti: Hi GG and peeps!
	4:04pm Linda Lee: aha! :-)
	4:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi chresti! :-)
	4:06pm Mr Fab: Hey GG! Kicking things off with a Bo Diddley cover makes me happy. Question: isn't 'scouse' referring to Manchester?
	4:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Mr Fab! Manchester is Mancunian :-)
	4:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: If you called someone from Manchester a Scouser they might kick you! You wouldn't want that! :-)
	4:11pm Linda Lee: is 'tip of my tongue' not loaded with 'i saw her standing there'?
	4:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's always tons of extra police when Liverpool play Manchester United at football - not a lot of love between the two cities!
	4:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - there's quite a lot of Beatley bits ;-)
	4:12pm Mr Fab: Ha, got it. "Randy Scouse Git," on of my fave Monkees songs, has nothing to do with Liverpool, near as I can tell.
	4:12pm Linda Lee: what year was the Tommy Quickly? i'm guessing it was first.
	4:13pm Linda Lee: i hear Paul's shoutin' vocal in this "Bony Moronie' too!
	4:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - yep, it dies :-) There was a show called "Til Death Us Do Part" - "All in the Family" was the US take on it. And the son-in-law was a Liverpudlian, so the dad character used to call him a "randy scouse git". Mickey Dolenz thought it sounded cool ... which is why they ended up calling it "Alternate Title" ;-)
	4:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Interestingly - the actor who played the son-in-law was Prime Minister Tony Blair's father in law in real life! :-)
	4:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: DOES not dies!!!! Can't type this evening ;-)
	4:14pm Franco Twinkie: Georgie! I was sitting in the kitchen drawing a monster face, but I don't know if that's gonna work now that your on. Computer is in the living room, so now I am as well.
	4:15pm Linda Lee: it's great to hear the sound that bred the beatles! they didn't really just fall out of the moon the way it appeared to the americans!
	4:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Franco! :-)
	4:17pm recordrouletteclub: Sounding great GEORGY!!
	4:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey Danny!! :-)
	4:18pm recordrouletteclub: Why, hello!!
	4:19pm Franco Twinkie: Over here in the 60's, everyone used Castrol in their dirt bikes.
	4:19pm Mr Fab: Linda, I heard (and maybe GG can confirm this) that Liverpudlians were hipper then Londoners thanks to an American military presence that brought all the new records to the scousers before even those snobs down south could get 'em.
	4:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Castrol was HUGE back in the day. Are they still a company?
	4:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - I get to that later on in the show ;-)
	4:20pm Linda Lee: they are, GG.
	4:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - aha! I always remember the ads back in the day :-)
	4:22pm Franco Twinkie: Still around. Red, white and green - black lettering.
	4:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That kind of slanted lettering. Wonderful. I do love a good font face :-)
	4:25pm Linda Lee: was there anywhere really safe from the US miiltary presence? it does seem that the good stuff spread around awfully fast. the rollin' stones covered 'fortune teller'!
	4:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The Fortune Teller - also a big track for The 'oo :-)
	4:27pm Linda Lee: what i did here in the Dominos' 'fortune teller' is how very much Brian brought to the band. it's almost incalculable.
	4:27pm recordrouletteclub: Wow! This "Lies" track is great!! Never heard this one..Thanks GG!!
	4:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I trust you're all in Cuban heels today? ;-)
	4:27pm Mr Fab: I forget where Brian Eno grew up, but he says that the nearby US base's radio station was very influential to his upbringing. Lotsa stuff he didn't hear on the BBC.
	4:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Merseybeat, Tiki, Exotica, Lounge .... all traced back to the forces moving around the globe!
	4:29pm Mr Fab: i do in fact have a super snazzy pair of cuban heels aka beatle boots! Mrs Fab got 'em for me for christmas couple years ago. Love 'em.
	4:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - perfect!!! :-)
	4:30pm Linda Lee: what a beautiful, beautiful thing. i wore my last pair of beatle boots in the 70s, alas!
	4:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do think that a chap looks rather good in a slight heel, I have to say. Straightens the back :-)
	4:31pm Linda Lee: pushes the butt out too!
	4:31pm Linda Lee: let's face it. :-D
	4:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's that, too! ;-)
	4:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Same thing with cowboy boots! :-)
	4:31pm Linda Lee: gosh, isn't it true! :-D
	4:32pm Linda Lee: i like the overall mod look a bit more, though.
	4:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ironically, this Newtowns song sounds like The Byrds - who, of course wanted to sound like The Beatles ;-)
	4:33pm Linda Lee: yes, it does! really true!
	4:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think Mod style was a definite watershed moment for male British fashion.
	4:34pm Linda Lee: & then world fashion, i'd say. :-)
	4:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Except I don't actually talk about skiffle in a little bit because I forgot ;-)
	4:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The picture I posted on the Sheena Facebook group a while ago of me on the stairs of The Cavern was taken about a minute after I stopped crying. lol.
	4:39pm Franco Twinkie: I love these commercials for British products. When my sister and I saw Ferry Cross The Mersey in 1965, we were fasinated by the breakfast cereal Gerry Marsden was eating in his gloomy grey kitchen.
	4:39pm Martinibomb: The day is going by to fast aaaa slow down day
	4:39pm Linda Lee: was 'wonderful one' Motown first?
	4:40pm Martinibomb: can't believe your 40min into your show
	4:40pm Linda Lee: i think i missed that pic, GG! i'll have to go look.
	4:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Franco - the one thing I didn't do in Liverpool was go on the ferry because I have NO sea legs :-) @MB - it flies by! @Linda - I don't know! Probably :-)
	4:41pm Linda Lee: GG's shows always just fly. it's phenomenal.
	4:42pm Linda Lee: did a quick check. yes, Marvin Gaye! 64!
	4:42pm Martinibomb: I think Crate digger is 2hrs now right? I have 30min picked but what to play for the last 90 I do not know...
	4:42pm Linda Lee: have we actually moved to 2 hours yet?
	4:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - www.facebook.com...
	4:44pm Linda Lee: oh! that's beautiful!!! no, hadn't seen it! fabulous. :-)
	4:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Every single Liverpool photo of me is either just before or just after I was crying. ;-)
	4:47pm Linda Lee: sure, of course! it's about love. :-)
	4:48pm Linda Lee: i'm definitely hearing the 'oo in the Turnoff, yes?
	4:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep, I can hear that :-)
	4:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Surely a flower's only job is to flower, no?
	4:50pm Linda Lee: well yes! :-)
	4:50pm Franco Twinkie: Uh oh, some of that Czecholsovakian acid has been dumped in the river!
	4:50pm Mr Fab: Yes, it does appear that Cratedigger's is now 2 hours, tho the description still says one hour.
	4:55pm Domenic: Like listening to your stories and facttoids GG. Liverpool and all the other details. Thank you! Have a good weekend all.
	4:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Dom! :-)
	4:58pm Linda Lee: listen to them cover Brother Ray!
	4:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My mum adores Gerry Marsden :-)
	4:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She denies it, but she always used to go a bit unnecessary whenever he was on TV ;-)
	4:59pm Linda Lee: the voice? the looks?
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think he's general "nice chap" qualities :-)
	5:01pm Linda Lee: ah. :-)
	5:02pm Linda Lee: this Koobas track is lovely!
	5:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I love the music in it :-) It's really pretty
	5:03pm Linda Lee: it is.
	5:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yer long blonde hurr ;-)
	5:04pm Linda Lee: ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!! Sorrow!!!
	5:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Great record :-)
	5:04pm Linda Lee: just so fabulous.
	5:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think this is one of the best of the Merseybeat wave songs
	5:05pm Franco Twinkie: Better to go "A bit unnecessary" than totally scally regarding an object of your affection, me thinks.
	5:05pm Linda Lee: just gorgeous.
	5:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here you go - here come the forces bit :-)
	5:08pm Linda Lee: yes. yes.
	5:08pm Franco Twinkie: To these west coast ears, a Kooba sounds like an ice lolly. But then again, what the hell do I know?
	5:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It sounds like some sort of strange koala hybrid ;-)
	5:11pm Linda Lee: hahahaha!!! funniest intro!
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Dave is demanding that he have a section where he can spin records but his taste runs to Chas 'n' Dave, and 80s Phil Collins. lol
	5:13pm Linda Lee: hmmmmm ...
	5:13pm Linda Lee: well, let him spin one! :-D
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Don't encourage him!!! Imagine the feathers everywhere! ;-)
	5:14pm Linda Lee: they do get messy, for sure.
	5:15pm Linda Lee: now listen to this! i think the Undertakers were hearing american bluegrass too!
	5:16pm Linda Lee: it's in the harmony lines.
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Their collective record collections must have been worth a fortune!
	5:16pm Linda Lee: my god yes.
	5:18pm Don-O: Record scratches!!! In glorious Mono!!
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Don-O! :-)
	5:19pm Linda Lee: i really do think the British kids were hearing american country & bluegrass as well. we make a lot of the r & b connnection, but there was more..
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Oh absolutely!
	5:20pm Linda Lee: the stones finally came out of the closet with 'beggar's banquet'! :-)
	5:21pm ParUbi: Just joining! How is everyone?
	5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It always fascinates me how American musicians want to sound British, and British musicians want to sound American :-)
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi ParUbi! Very well, thank you! :-)
	5:22pm Franco Twinkie: It is soon going to be Friday night which means Tika Masala and Palak Paneer or dumplings in this house. No underground clubs for these long in the tooth music fiends
	5:22pm Linda Lee: hi ParUbi! we always have fun at the F & F. is it just plain love, GG?
	5:22pm Martinibomb: Hey ParUbi! Loving the show just got done pulling records for my fill-in today. whew! Now to clean the kitchen.
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Franco - vegetable Kashmir for me please! @Linda - lots of love, indeed :-)
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you MB! :-)
	5:24pm Linda Lee: i really do think it's just like best friends sharing their clothes. ;-)
	5:26pm Linda Lee: can't imagine the pill culture made it to Britain at all..
	5:27pm ParUbi: Can't wait for the shows tonight!
	5:27pm Linda Lee: something else the military threw in, no doubt.
	5:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Amphetamines were massive in the early 60s in the UK
	5:28pm Linda Lee: of course!
	5:28pm Linda Lee: my god, imagine dealing in records and speed! :-D
	5:28pm Martinibomb: oh wow never heard this version of House of Bamboo it's so rockin' oh and a cool little organ part nifty
	5:28pm Linda Lee: this is trluy brilliant.
	5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That drum beat is fabulous
	5:29pm ParUbi: I was prescribed them right around the time I was finishing my dissertation. So dangerous!
	5:29pm Mr Fab: 'bennies' were big with the beatniks in the '50s, so no surprise 'go pills' (as they called 'em in the military) would move into the rockin '60s.
	5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Weren't all the diet pills in the 60s pretty much speed?
	5:30pm ParUbi: Amphetamines, right?
	5:30pm Mr Fab: yeah, House of Bamboo is usually played in an exotic style, but that was straight-up rockin. Nice!
	5:30pm Franco Twinkie: Made me think of Chinese Gardens by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
	5:30pm Don-O: A much better 'Bamboo' cover than Andy Williams.
	5:31pm Linda Lee: sure! i quite enjoyed speed for a while when i was much younger. very nice when there's a lot to do.
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ah! Hong Kong Garden :-) Whcih was Siouxsie's favourite neighbourhood takeaway. True story :-)
	5:31pm Linda Lee: that's great! :-)
	5:31pm ParUbi: makes sleep seem optional
	5:33pm Linda Lee: what's developed for the military primarily, in terms of drugs enabling you to behave like a machine, flows right into the civilian world. then to the kids of course.
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sleep? What's that? ;-)
	5:34pm Linda Lee: i love the sound on that one, GG. that's what i want.
	5:34pm Linda Lee: what a briliant, brilliant show, GG. so much beautiful music i haven't heard before!!
	5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you :-) That makes me very happy :-)
	5:36pm Linda Lee: you know it. i'm a major fan! :-)
	5:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: :-)
	5:37pm ParUbi: I always learn so much from your shows, GG!
	5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That makes me happy too :-) I love finding out all these things and I love passing it all on :-)
	5:38pm Linda Lee: exactly why i'm such a fan. GG's a scholar and as a brilliant DJ!
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I find it fascinating how things originate and become something bigger :-)
	5:38pm Linda Lee: and is! god :-D
	5:41pm ParUbi: That's always fascinating. I like to dig into the background of things.
	5:41pm Linda Lee: 'Ferry Cross the Mersey' was very big here.
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: :-)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: this one was big too!
	5:42pm Martinibomb: Lots of stuff I'd love to sample on todays show heh heh
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I love this track :-)
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MB - go for it! :-)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: i just adored this one as a small girl with my little radio. so much fun.
	5:43pm Linda Lee: that piano comes straight from Brother Ray & 'what'd i say'!!
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's just so innately joyful, despite the lyrics! :-)
	5:44pm Linda Lee: sure! so incredibly fertile souding & beautiful!
	5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yet another song that Bowie covered ;-)
	5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Somewhere out in the universe is a photo of myself and my friend John recreating the cover of "Pin Ups" from about 1984 ;-)
	5:46pm Linda Lee: what was really fun here ~& i remember very well ~ is that radio stations weren't at all segregated, so we heard the Mersey bands and Motown and the Brill Building pop and .. and!
	5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Music is the great leveller :-)
	5:47pm Linda Lee: that had to be lovely GG:-D
	5:47pm Franco Twinkie: It's kind of hard to explain to younger people how completely unglued things got in the U.S. when The Beatles hit. And now you get Okay Boomer thrown in your face if you have the poor judgement to mention some cultural event from the past.
	5:48pm Mr Fab: Linda: some dare call it.."freeform"?
	5:48pm Linda Lee: well, we didn't think our elders knew anything either. it's how it goes.
	5:48pm Linda Lee: hahahah! yes freeform! no 'markets' yet!
	5:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm Gen X, so I'm like a generational Jan Brady ;-)
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Only one more song after this, and then it's Don-O with the Hour of Crap! www.wfmu.org...
	5:50pm Linda Lee: the thing was, though, that it was driven by money. of course. big money & big business, playlists, top 40 & all that. it just wasn't so tight in terms of sound.
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you ALL for being fabulous and spending the last couple of hours with me :-)
	5:51pm Linda Lee: we'll have to call it the Fabulous Flange & Frigate. :-D
	5:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: :-)
	5:52pm Linda Lee: just a fantastic show, GG. just fantastic. thank you so much.
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I genuinely couldn't do it without any of you lovely people :-)
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And ... I always have a lot of fun too ;-)
	5:54pm Linda Lee: yay!! honestly, i was a beatlemaniac child & i should really visit liverpool :-D
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Definitely - it really is a lovely place :-)
	5:56pm Linda Lee: she's got to end with the fab 4.
	5:56pm Linda Lee: :-)
	5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There you go ;-)
	5:57pm Franco Twinkie: How about a Weetabix advert?
	5:57pm Linda Lee: yowwwwww!!! the record i owned at age 4!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Have a fantastic rest of today and a wonderful weekend everyone :-) Huge hugs from me :-) xx
	5:58pm Linda Lee: thank you dear!!! xxxxxx
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Every other Liverpool band - we're amazing The Beatles - hold our beer ;-)
	5:59pm Linda Lee: hahha!!
	5:59pm Don-O: Prepare for Da Crap! But first, Thanks DJGG! I hope your doing well!!
	6:00pm Linda Lee: that was just brilliant! :-)
	6:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: <3

Listener comments!
	3:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Time to get yer Scouse in in just over five minutes! :-)
	4:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here we go! :-)
	4:02pm Linda Lee: hello! Scouse?
	4:02pm Jan Turkenburg: Yes Merseybeat!
	4:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Linda! Hi Jan! :-)
	4:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Scouse or Scouser is the nickname for people from Liverpool :-)
	4:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And also their accent ;-)
	4:03pm chresti: Hi GG and peeps!
	4:04pm Linda Lee: aha! :-)
	4:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi chresti! :-)
	4:06pm Mr Fab: Hey GG! Kicking things off with a Bo Diddley cover makes me happy. Question: isn't 'scouse' referring to Manchester?
	4:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Mr Fab! Manchester is Mancunian :-)
	4:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: If you called someone from Manchester a Scouser they might kick you! You wouldn't want that! :-)
	4:11pm Linda Lee: is 'tip of my tongue' not loaded with 'i saw her standing there'?
	4:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's always tons of extra police when Liverpool play Manchester United at football - not a lot of love between the two cities!
	4:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - there's quite a lot of Beatley bits ;-)
	4:12pm Mr Fab: Ha, got it. "Randy Scouse Git," on of my fave Monkees songs, has nothing to do with Liverpool, near as I can tell.
	4:12pm Linda Lee: what year was the Tommy Quickly? i'm guessing it was first.
	4:13pm Linda Lee: i hear Paul's shoutin' vocal in this "Bony Moronie' too!
	4:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - yep, it dies :-) There was a show called "Til Death Us Do Part" - "All in the Family" was the US take on it. And the son-in-law was a Liverpudlian, so the dad character used to call him a "randy scouse git". Mickey Dolenz thought it sounded cool ... which is why they ended up calling it "Alternate Title" ;-)
	4:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Interestingly - the actor who played the son-in-law was Prime Minister Tony Blair's father in law in real life! :-)
	4:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: DOES not dies!!!! Can't type this evening ;-)
	4:14pm Franco Twinkie: Georgie! I was sitting in the kitchen drawing a monster face, but I don't know if that's gonna work now that your on. Computer is in the living room, so now I am as well.
	4:15pm Linda Lee: it's great to hear the sound that bred the beatles! they didn't really just fall out of the moon the way it appeared to the americans!
	4:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Franco! :-)
	4:17pm recordrouletteclub: Sounding great GEORGY!!
	4:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey Danny!! :-)
	4:18pm recordrouletteclub: Why, hello!!
	4:19pm Franco Twinkie: Over here in the 60's, everyone used Castrol in their dirt bikes.
	4:19pm Mr Fab: Linda, I heard (and maybe GG can confirm this) that Liverpudlians were hipper then Londoners thanks to an American military presence that brought all the new records to the scousers before even those snobs down south could get 'em.
	4:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Castrol was HUGE back in the day. Are they still a company?
	4:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - I get to that later on in the show ;-)
	4:20pm Linda Lee: they are, GG.
	4:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - aha! I always remember the ads back in the day :-)
	4:22pm Franco Twinkie: Still around. Red, white and green - black lettering.
	4:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That kind of slanted lettering. Wonderful. I do love a good font face :-)
	4:25pm Linda Lee: was there anywhere really safe from the US miiltary presence? it does seem that the good stuff spread around awfully fast. the rollin' stones covered 'fortune teller'!
	4:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The Fortune Teller - also a big track for The 'oo :-)
	4:27pm Linda Lee: what i did here in the Dominos' 'fortune teller' is how very much Brian brought to the band. it's almost incalculable.
	4:27pm recordrouletteclub: Wow! This "Lies" track is great!! Never heard this one..Thanks GG!!
	4:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I trust you're all in Cuban heels today? ;-)
	4:27pm Mr Fab: I forget where Brian Eno grew up, but he says that the nearby US base's radio station was very influential to his upbringing. Lotsa stuff he didn't hear on the BBC.
	4:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Merseybeat, Tiki, Exotica, Lounge .... all traced back to the forces moving around the globe!
	4:29pm Mr Fab: i do in fact have a super snazzy pair of cuban heels aka beatle boots! Mrs Fab got 'em for me for christmas couple years ago. Love 'em.
	4:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - perfect!!! :-)
	4:30pm Linda Lee: what a beautiful, beautiful thing. i wore my last pair of beatle boots in the 70s, alas!
	4:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do think that a chap looks rather good in a slight heel, I have to say. Straightens the back :-)
	4:31pm Linda Lee: pushes the butt out too!
	4:31pm Linda Lee: let's face it. :-D
	4:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's that, too! ;-)
	4:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Same thing with cowboy boots! :-)
	4:31pm Linda Lee: gosh, isn't it true! :-D
	4:32pm Linda Lee: i like the overall mod look a bit more, though.
	4:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ironically, this Newtowns song sounds like The Byrds - who, of course wanted to sound like The Beatles ;-)
	4:33pm Linda Lee: yes, it does! really true!
	4:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think Mod style was a definite watershed moment for male British fashion.
	4:34pm Linda Lee: & then world fashion, i'd say. :-)
	4:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Except I don't actually talk about skiffle in a little bit because I forgot ;-)
	4:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The picture I posted on the Sheena Facebook group a while ago of me on the stairs of The Cavern was taken about a minute after I stopped crying. lol.
	4:39pm Franco Twinkie: I love these commercials for British products. When my sister and I saw Ferry Cross The Mersey in 1965, we were fasinated by the breakfast cereal Gerry Marsden was eating in his gloomy grey kitchen.
	4:39pm Martinibomb: The day is going by to fast aaaa slow down day
	4:39pm Linda Lee: was 'wonderful one' Motown first?
	4:40pm Martinibomb: can't believe your 40min into your show
	4:40pm Linda Lee: i think i missed that pic, GG! i'll have to go look.
	4:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Franco - the one thing I didn't do in Liverpool was go on the ferry because I have NO sea legs :-) @MB - it flies by! @Linda - I don't know! Probably :-)
	4:41pm Linda Lee: GG's shows always just fly. it's phenomenal.
	4:42pm Linda Lee: did a quick check. yes, Marvin Gaye! 64!
	4:42pm Martinibomb: I think Crate digger is 2hrs now right? I have 30min picked but what to play for the last 90 I do not know...
	4:42pm Linda Lee: have we actually moved to 2 hours yet?
	4:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - www.facebook.com...
	4:44pm Linda Lee: oh! that's beautiful!!! no, hadn't seen it! fabulous. :-)
	4:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Every single Liverpool photo of me is either just before or just after I was crying. ;-)
	4:47pm Linda Lee: sure, of course! it's about love. :-)
	4:48pm Linda Lee: i'm definitely hearing the 'oo in the Turnoff, yes?
	4:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep, I can hear that :-)
	4:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Surely a flower's only job is to flower, no?
	4:50pm Linda Lee: well yes! :-)
	4:50pm Franco Twinkie: Uh oh, some of that Czecholsovakian acid has been dumped in the river!
	4:50pm Mr Fab: Yes, it does appear that Cratedigger's is now 2 hours, tho the description still says one hour.
	4:55pm Domenic: Like listening to your stories and facttoids GG. Liverpool and all the other details. Thank you! Have a good weekend all.
	4:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Dom! :-)
	4:58pm Linda Lee: listen to them cover Brother Ray!
	4:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My mum adores Gerry Marsden :-)
	4:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She denies it, but she always used to go a bit unnecessary whenever he was on TV ;-)
	4:59pm Linda Lee: the voice? the looks?
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think he's general "nice chap" qualities :-)
	5:01pm Linda Lee: ah. :-)
	5:02pm Linda Lee: this Koobas track is lovely!
	5:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I love the music in it :-) It's really pretty
	5:03pm Linda Lee: it is.
	5:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yer long blonde hurr ;-)
	5:04pm Linda Lee: ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!! Sorrow!!!
	5:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Great record :-)
	5:04pm Linda Lee: just so fabulous.
	5:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think this is one of the best of the Merseybeat wave songs
	5:05pm Franco Twinkie: Better to go "A bit unnecessary" than totally scally regarding an object of your affection, me thinks.
	5:05pm Linda Lee: just gorgeous.
	5:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here you go - here come the forces bit :-)
	5:08pm Linda Lee: yes. yes.
	5:08pm Franco Twinkie: To these west coast ears, a Kooba sounds like an ice lolly. But then again, what the hell do I know?
	5:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It sounds like some sort of strange koala hybrid ;-)
	5:11pm Linda Lee: hahahaha!!! funniest intro!
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Dave is demanding that he have a section where he can spin records but his taste runs to Chas 'n' Dave, and 80s Phil Collins. lol
	5:13pm Linda Lee: hmmmmm ...
	5:13pm Linda Lee: well, let him spin one! :-D
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Don't encourage him!!! Imagine the feathers everywhere! ;-)
	5:14pm Linda Lee: they do get messy, for sure.
	5:15pm Linda Lee: now listen to this! i think the Undertakers were hearing american bluegrass too!
	5:16pm Linda Lee: it's in the harmony lines.
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Their collective record collections must have been worth a fortune!
	5:16pm Linda Lee: my god yes.
	5:18pm Don-O: Record scratches!!! In glorious Mono!!
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Don-O! :-)
	5:19pm Linda Lee: i really do think the British kids were hearing american country & bluegrass as well. we make a lot of the r & b connnection, but there was more..
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Oh absolutely!
	5:20pm Linda Lee: the stones finally came out of the closet with 'beggar's banquet'! :-)
	5:21pm ParUbi: Just joining! How is everyone?
	5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It always fascinates me how American musicians want to sound British, and British musicians want to sound American :-)
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi ParUbi! Very well, thank you! :-)
	5:22pm Franco Twinkie: It is soon going to be Friday night which means Tika Masala and Palak Paneer or dumplings in this house. No underground clubs for these long in the tooth music fiends
	5:22pm Linda Lee: hi ParUbi! we always have fun at the F & F. is it just plain love, GG?
	5:22pm Martinibomb: Hey ParUbi! Loving the show just got done pulling records for my fill-in today. whew! Now to clean the kitchen.
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Franco - vegetable Kashmir for me please! @Linda - lots of love, indeed :-)
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you MB! :-)
	5:24pm Linda Lee: i really do think it's just like best friends sharing their clothes. ;-)
	5:26pm Linda Lee: can't imagine the pill culture made it to Britain at all..
	5:27pm ParUbi: Can't wait for the shows tonight!
	5:27pm Linda Lee: something else the military threw in, no doubt.
	5:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Amphetamines were massive in the early 60s in the UK
	5:28pm Linda Lee: of course!
	5:28pm Linda Lee: my god, imagine dealing in records and speed! :-D
	5:28pm Martinibomb: oh wow never heard this version of House of Bamboo it's so rockin' oh and a cool little organ part nifty
	5:28pm Linda Lee: this is trluy brilliant.
	5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That drum beat is fabulous
	5:29pm ParUbi: I was prescribed them right around the time I was finishing my dissertation. So dangerous!
	5:29pm Mr Fab: 'bennies' were big with the beatniks in the '50s, so no surprise 'go pills' (as they called 'em in the military) would move into the rockin '60s.
	5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Weren't all the diet pills in the 60s pretty much speed?
	5:30pm ParUbi: Amphetamines, right?
	5:30pm Mr Fab: yeah, House of Bamboo is usually played in an exotic style, but that was straight-up rockin. Nice!
	5:30pm Franco Twinkie: Made me think of Chinese Gardens by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
	5:30pm Don-O: A much better 'Bamboo' cover than Andy Williams.
	5:31pm Linda Lee: sure! i quite enjoyed speed for a while when i was much younger. very nice when there's a lot to do.
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ah! Hong Kong Garden :-) Whcih was Siouxsie's favourite neighbourhood takeaway. True story :-)
	5:31pm Linda Lee: that's great! :-)
	5:31pm ParUbi: makes sleep seem optional
	5:33pm Linda Lee: what's developed for the military primarily, in terms of drugs enabling you to behave like a machine, flows right into the civilian world. then to the kids of course.
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sleep? What's that? ;-)
	5:34pm Linda Lee: i love the sound on that one, GG. that's what i want.
	5:34pm Linda Lee: what a briliant, brilliant show, GG. so much beautiful music i haven't heard before!!
	5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you :-) That makes me very happy :-)
	5:36pm Linda Lee: you know it. i'm a major fan! :-)
	5:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: :-)
	5:37pm ParUbi: I always learn so much from your shows, GG!
	5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That makes me happy too :-) I love finding out all these things and I love passing it all on :-)
	5:38pm Linda Lee: exactly why i'm such a fan. GG's a scholar and as a brilliant DJ!
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I find it fascinating how things originate and become something bigger :-)
	5:38pm Linda Lee: and is! god :-D
	5:41pm ParUbi: That's always fascinating. I like to dig into the background of things.
	5:41pm Linda Lee: 'Ferry Cross the Mersey' was very big here.
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: :-)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: this one was big too!
	5:42pm Martinibomb: Lots of stuff I'd love to sample on todays show heh heh
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I love this track :-)
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MB - go for it! :-)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: i just adored this one as a small girl with my little radio. so much fun.
	5:43pm Linda Lee: that piano comes straight from Brother Ray & 'what'd i say'!!
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's just so innately joyful, despite the lyrics! :-)
	5:44pm Linda Lee: sure! so incredibly fertile souding & beautiful!
	5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yet another song that Bowie covered ;-)
	5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Somewhere out in the universe is a photo of myself and my friend John recreating the cover of "Pin Ups" from about 1984 ;-)
	5:46pm Linda Lee: what was really fun here ~& i remember very well ~ is that radio stations weren't at all segregated, so we heard the Mersey bands and Motown and the Brill Building pop and .. and!
	5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Music is the great leveller :-)
	5:47pm Linda Lee: that had to be lovely GG:-D
	5:47pm Franco Twinkie: It's kind of hard to explain to younger people how completely unglued things got in the U.S. when The Beatles hit. And now you get Okay Boomer thrown in your face if you have the poor judgement to mention some cultural event from the past.
	5:48pm Mr Fab: Linda: some dare call it.."freeform"?
	5:48pm Linda Lee: well, we didn't think our elders knew anything either. it's how it goes.
	5:48pm Linda Lee: hahahah! yes freeform! no 'markets' yet!
	5:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm Gen X, so I'm like a generational Jan Brady ;-)
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Only one more song after this, and then it's Don-O with the Hour of Crap! www.wfmu.org...
	5:50pm Linda Lee: the thing was, though, that it was driven by money. of course. big money & big business, playlists, top 40 & all that. it just wasn't so tight in terms of sound.
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you ALL for being fabulous and spending the last couple of hours with me :-)
	5:51pm Linda Lee: we'll have to call it the Fabulous Flange & Frigate. :-D
	5:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: :-)
	5:52pm Linda Lee: just a fantastic show, GG. just fantastic. thank you so much.
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I genuinely couldn't do it without any of you lovely people :-)
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And ... I always have a lot of fun too ;-)
	5:54pm Linda Lee: yay!! honestly, i was a beatlemaniac child & i should really visit liverpool :-D
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Definitely - it really is a lovely place :-)
	5:56pm Linda Lee: she's got to end with the fab 4.
	5:56pm Linda Lee: :-)
	5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There you go ;-)
	5:57pm Franco Twinkie: How about a Weetabix advert?
	5:57pm Linda Lee: yowwwwww!!! the record i owned at age 4!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!
