Listener comments!
	11:16am other david: Woot, Mighty Sparrow :) Michael are you familiar with any of Wilmoth Houdini's stuff?
	♥ 11:19am Michael Shelley: OD - no, but will check him out
	11:23am other david: Very old school calypso - from Trinidad but he wound up in New York too. Actually it's his fault I got into WFMU - heard one of his tracks on the BBC World Service and couldnt get the track "Black But Sweet" out of my head for weeks - googled around, but there was very little information, except for a post on the WFMU blog, complete with tracks.. The rest as the say, is history!
	11:25am pierre: Bonjour Michael
	11:26am Parq: Michael, there are several Houdini tracks on Irwin's two Muriel's Treasures DJ-premium discs. I particularly recommend one about, and called, "Frank Sinatra", in which the singer tries to persuade the Chairman to partner with him in a calypso act.
	♥ 11:27am Michael Shelley: Sounds great.... Bonjour all
	11:27am Connie T. Empress: Chirpee Chirpee Cheep Cheep! Mac & Katie chirping along on the Michael Shelley Show! In an island mood?
	11:45am Wallace: probably woody Bay City Rollers with this song was the first album I ever bought with my own money. In second grade. Love the plaid. Love it. Seed your lawn. Seed it.
	11:46am Wallace: I still have it, actually.
	♥ 11:47am Michael Shelley: I still have the 45 of it I bought in 8th grade
	11:57am clarke: hey MS, totally oft subject, but i am finally reading Hartman's The Wrecking Crew -- he accurately credits dennis wilson, in his book. it was in an interview (not yours) i heard, that he made it sound like blaine had played on some of the early hits, too. the book rectifies that, though. also: didn't get to listen live - but, both Lowe interviews are some of the best i have ever heard, or read...excellent work, friendo!! xxxcm
	12:05pm clarke: speaking of archived interviews - one of your's that still HAUNTS me is the emitt rhodes -- any follow-up planned for the poor guy - hope he is okay?!?
	12:08pm Bad Ronald: Thanks for the new Nick tune. Reminiscent of "Gaijin Man"...
	12:15pm paul in FL: Robert Johnson? They're teaching our children the devil's music! :)
	12:15pm JValdez: Put this kid on Toddlers & Tiaras!
	12:25pm Parq: This Buzzcocks track is, as Alexander DeLarge would put it, gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh.
	12:26pm Connie T. Empress: Def a number 1 hit!!
	12:28pm Parq: Miss Empress! Honored to be sharing a comment thread with you. Haven't seen you in person since you deejayed a BARC benefit at Union Pool years ago.
	12:36pm paul in FL: Don't Pat Me on the Back. That's a #1 hit!
	12:39pm Lori at Little Cricket: Love the Knack and this song is making me happy!
	12:41pm Brooklyn Banzai: You can hear the cowbell much better on this version
	12:43pm JJ Moth: More cowbell!!!
	12:43pm Boogaloo: Michael, did you edit that version of "Do Ya?" Seemed short.
	♥ 12:46pm Michael Shelley: Twas the single edit!
	12:48pm Boogaloo: Seemed even shorter than the single edit!
	12:48pm paul in FL: Nat Stuckey, inventor of the pecan log.
	♥ 12:48pm Michael Shelley: Indeed!
	12:55pm paul in FL: Don't Pat Me on the Back available anywhere for purchase or download?
