Peanut Gallery:
Great to be here -- what's on TV?
Thu. 2/2/12 9:06pm
-s-:
Nailing it,Mike.Nail this train to the ground.
Thu. 2/2/12 9:10pm
Peanut Gallery:
Does the Alligator somehow trump the Swim and/or the Frog?
Thu. 2/2/12 9:14pm
PB:
I always loved George's very short-but-sweet guitar solos on the very early Beatles stuff.
Thu. 2/2/12 9:19pm
Mike Sin:
Hey folks! Thanks for tuning in!
Thu. 2/2/12 9:22pm
PB:
Good stuff, and all of it at least 45 years old.
Thu. 2/2/12 9:33pm
Bill:
Alright is not all right.
Thu. 2/2/12 9:35pm
frenchee:
you tell 'em, Bill!
Thu. 2/2/12 9:37pm
frenchee:
Hi PB, beg to differ: the Siberians only *sound* like it's 45 years old
Thu. 2/2/12 9:37pm
Bill:
A principal must live by principles.
Thu. 2/2/12 9:39pm
PB:
You're right, I thought it was mid-60s stuff that Mike forgot to post the year for. Turns out it was released this year. Sounds old but is a great track nonetheless.
Thu. 2/2/12 9:40pm
PB:
The Siberians also sounds like a classic mid-60s garage band name. Fooled me.
Thu. 2/2/12 9:42pm
frenchee:
and now we're creeping into the 90s, woo-hoo!
Thu. 2/2/12 9:58pm
Bill:
was this an iphone/ipod commercial song?
Thu. 2/2/12 9:59pm
frenchee:
gah! hope not, Bill
Thu. 2/2/12 10:10pm

Hi Matt from Springfield!
Thu. 2/2/12 10:14pm
Matt from Springfield:
I've heard of Liz French before, didn't know she was the "frenchee" I see sometimes.
@Mike: Is your microphone connected? I hope your "mic's in"! :D
Thu. 2/2/12 10:15pm
Matt from Springfield:
Hearty hello Frenchee! (all puns aside...)
Love Optical Sound whenever it's on.
Thu. 2/2/12 10:16pm
John:
I hope you show up to work tomorrow. Good show Mikey!
Thu. 2/2/12 10:19pm
Parq:
Mike, sounding terrific! Every time you're on the air I get more knocked out. Heartfet Howdys to Frenchee -- and hey, I just finished dinner and I'm still wearing my Cherry Blossom Clinic apron!
Thu. 2/2/12 10:20pm
Matt from Springfield:
Terre's Cherries! Brings your cooking good luck, Parq!

Thu. 2/2/12 10:39pm
catherine:

Thu. 2/2/12 10:40pm
Matt from Springfield:
Wow, the DUTCH Beat Buddies! I like!
Thu. 2/2/12 10:43pm
Lt. Palmer:
My pants are the perfect length - just gracing the tops of my shoes.
Thu. 2/2/12 10:45pm
Bill:
Should we leave?
Thu. 2/2/12 10:47pm
Adam in Portland:
@bill, no.
Thu. 2/2/12 10:47pm
Bill:
you come up with best band names. Beethovens!
Thu. 2/2/12 10:57pm
Matt from Springfield:
Thought this had a very "Merseybeat" sound! Was this one the Epstein NEMS bands?
Thu. 2/2/12 10:58pm
Parq:
Frenchee the copy editor, did you hear they just said "Alls I need"?
Thu. 2/2/12 10:59pm
Jeezy:
Wow... Only ever knew the Get Happy version!
Thu. 2/2/12 11:00pm
Bill:
Did they do "Sorrow"? (question mark outside the quotes for Liz's benefit).
Thu. 2/2/12 11:00pm
Matt from Springfield:
THAI ROCK!! And a very faithful cover of "What'd I Say", considered the variations in some of their covers from that time.
Thu. 2/2/12 11:01pm
Playtex and the Girdles:
Lock and Loll!!!!
Thu. 2/2/12 11:02pm

Well all right! Thanks for the comments! I'll try to answer some of questions on the air during a mike break.
Thu. 2/2/12 11:14pm
Matt from Springfield:
A Curt Boettcher Songbook? This Beth sounds EXTREMELY familiar--who originally did this song? I think Irwin in fact played an older version of this.
That said, this is a nice version Mike!
Thu. 2/2/12 11:16pm
I Have a Farfisa and I'll Use It!:
The Cowsills!
Thu. 2/2/12 11:27pm
Matt from Springfield:
Hey hey...
Why-do-you-walk-likeadrunk-arddddd!!!
Funny how that translation worked, more to fit Thai words into the original sound. (The Drunken Noodles will do that to you!)
Thu. 2/2/12 11:32pm
Bill:
I was out sick last night. I tried to get Mike Sin to fill in for me.
Thu. 2/2/12 11:32pm
Dave the Spazz Who?:
¡ǝɯoɥ ʎɐʇs oʇ zzɐds ǝɥʇ ǝʌɐp llǝʇ
Thu. 2/2/12 11:34pm
frenchee:
whoa! how you did that?
Thu. 2/2/12 11:35pm
Matt from Springfield:
Sammy does a great cover of "Spinning Wheel"--considering the original was sung by Al Kooper, they have a similar style and it works out well here.
(Although, I think this was the same album where Sammy sang "In The Ghetto"--NOT as good! Golden Throats material!)
Thu. 2/2/12 11:37pm
Bill:
Spinning Wheel? Al Kooper? Detention!
Thu. 2/2/12 11:38pm
Bill:
i am hurriedly checking to see if he might have done a demo.
Thu. 2/2/12 11:38pm
Peter Lawford's Ghost:
Here's mud in your good eye, Sammy.
Thu. 2/2/12 11:40pm
G:
@frenchee: There are various websites that have a box for flipping and inverting text. http://www.upsidedowntext.com/ and others...
Thu. 2/2/12 11:42pm
frenchee:
thanks G,
I prefer to think it's hoodoo mojo magic!
Thu. 2/2/12 11:42pm
G:
that's fun, too :-)
Thu. 2/2/12 11:43pm
Matt from Springfield:
Gasp! Otis REDDING and Carla THOMAS??! I wouldn't have thunk it! Super-duet!!!
Thu. 2/2/12 11:48pm
Looooooooonnnnnnnnng Hot Dog:
...and to all of the Wrecking Crew...
Thu. 2/2/12 11:51pm
Davy Jones Gives Peter Tork the Manchester Kiss:

Thu. 2/2/12 11:56pm
