	🎸 ♥ 3:14pm Deano de los Muertos: has anyone ever played Bottled Up by Devo? I keep requesting it at random and forget how to look it up..
	🎸 ♥ 3:20pm John L: OMG. There was a guy playing acoustic guitar, amplified , practically right outside the store where I'm working. He managed to make every Johnny Cash, Beatles and old blues tune sound like Hot Tuna. I didn't want to be THAT GUY, but he's been playing for two hours. If we had our AC hooked up I woulda closed the door. He stopped just as Todd was starting, thankfully. I had images of John Belushi and Stephen Bishop in my head. He also came by to thank me for not complaining, so I feel kinda bad for my evil thoughts.
	3:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ John L @3:20 Never feel bad about your evil thoughts.
	3:23pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Sonic Reducer" by "Dead Boys" ...a "forever" fave tune!!!

	3:37pm Isaac Candelario: I’m really excited for burning maam. The line up is so killer this year. Stoked to play first with hunters band Underground River and last with Old lady. Lots of amazing acts sandwiched between. Really excited to see my friends in bad vacation play for the first time.
	3:37pm PC77: Saw Cheap Trick at the Union County Music Festival years ago- great show!
	🎸 ♥ 3:37pm John L: ↳ Song: "Baby Talk" by "Cheap Trick" Playing the Dutchess County Fair on August 20! Tempted; I haven't seen them since 1977.
	3:37pm ?: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @3:14 'advanced search at the bottom of front page on a browser.

	3:54pm morphe': Thanks TopT and all ...
	3:55pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "You Lied To Me Before" by "The Treez" Trez or Treez!?! Shazam is saying Trez...but they often get things very wrong...
	3:55pm Isaac Candelario: Mandatory listening when going over the herndando desoto bridge in Memphis
	3:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @3:55 Who are you going to trust? Me or Shazam?
	3:56pm Van Winkle ;-): We bow to you...Lord TOPT. ;-)
	3:58pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @3:56 I think that was a Sarueday morning show when I was a kid.
	♥ 3:59pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Some Kinda Fun" by "The Missing Links" A song the Untamed Youth taught me.
	🎸 ♥ 4:01pm Deano de los Muertos: Someone go and see that Pine Barrens event so I can life vicariously
	♥ 4:02pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "So What!" by "Michael Younker" I think this is his next show: dice.fm...
	🎸 ♥ 4:04pm Deano de los Muertos: my ex-boss who still works with us is a MASSIVE Trump humper, who also cannot retire like he wanted dude to that orange moron…but he’s the biggest Bruce fan I’ve ever known. I’m sure the realization that Bruce would hate his guys is finally hitting home lol
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm John L: Anything having to do with "it's" skin makes me queasy, but yay to Bruce!
	4:05pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Long Tall Sally" by "Little Richard" Whenever I hear a maniacal classic like this...I can't even imagine how "wylde"(sic) his early shows must have been...
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm Deano de los Muertos: he’s a very nice guy..still buys us breakfast occasionally, even though he’s not the boss anymore….just super misguided
	♥ 4:08pm Christina Ginger: Hi everyone!
	4:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Christina Ginger @4:08 Just in time!
	♥ 4:11pm Christina Ginger: I’m always just in time for the good stuff.
	4:11pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Deano de los Muertos @4:05 Just shift the talk to what syrup flavours you're going to put on your pancakes...and gently hope he shifts perspectives...some day.
	4:18pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Oh! You Pretty Things" by "David Bowie" The piano intro on this has always reminded me of Linus/Charlie Brown shows...
	4:21pm Mr C: Inspiration is on your playlist today Todd!
	4:22pm Mr C: like i said..
	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm John L: Just read about a new book that might appeal to fans of the new Jon Savage book, Small Town Joy: From glam rock to hyperpop: how queer music changed the sound of Scotland by Carrie Marshall. I have to step up my reading this Summer.
	🎸 ♥ 4:23pm PaulRobeson1925: She Said Hello babyyy

	5:11pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Lady Marmalade" by "Labelle" Vivid memories of this on a.m. radio...and as a young teen having my good friend nervously asking...did I know what they she was singing about? ...yep...it wasn't about pyjama parties. ;-)
	5:21pm Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "Sing If You're Glad To Be Gay" by "Tom Robinson B... TR great albums! this must have been quite ear opening to bump into back in 1978. Todd, Thanks for all your stellar interviews, just keep getting better, deeper & more impressive. The best radio 📻 on the planet. 😊
	5:22pm Mr C: K.D. Lang, Dynamic Superiors soul group...
	5:22pm ?: why the strange show theme today?
	5:25pm ?: The YMCA song was the only o9ne that ever got popular
	♥ 5:25pm David Shortell: According to Bob Gruen, the New York Dolls costumed themselves as dolls so that girls would want to play with them!
	5:27pm Erik in VT: ↳ @5:22 Listen & Learn from Jon Savage - new book is out! ‘Strange’ is debatable, as I suggest that WFMU is the epitome of ‘Strange’, most of the time. 😜 ✌️
	5:27pm ?: Was Barry White too?
	5:29pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ @5:22 What's so strange? TOPT's radio show parties are always inclusive...
	5:32pm ?: How about Boy George/ Was he too?
	♥ 5:32pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ @5:32 Too what?
	5:34pm ?: I meant, was he also
	♥ 5:34pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ @5:34 Also what?
	5:34pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ @5:32 Maybe read his biography...and discover for yourself...if you're truly fascinated/ interested in more than just the music?
	5:37pm ?: They are overlooking the OG inventor of that style of music.Herbert Buckingham Khaury
	🎸 ♥ 5:39pm prof.fuzz: thanks jon! thanks todd!
	5:40pm Scott from Boston: Great interview Todd!
	5:41pm ?: If you weren't rocking to Herbert Buckingham Khaury you really don't know anything about this type of music
	5:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Scott!
	♥ 5:43pm San Pedro Girl: Thanks Todd!
	5:43pm ?: His greatest hit was Tiptoe Through the Tulips
	5:43pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Great Interview Todd! I listened to all the “Glitter Bands” of the 70’s!….loved them all. I didn’t think about are the gay or not, I just liked their music, energy, and look!! I even glued stars underneath both eyebrows back then.
	🎸 ♥ 5:44pm Bklyn_Dutch: Thank you, Todd! That was really good. I am going to look up this author's books, sounds great!
	5:45pm Van Winkle ;-): "Your books are not pamphlets" was a total zinger!!! Great interview TOPT! Recently caught an interesting film "On Swift Horses" which nicely represented the complexities of below-the-radar lifestyles in the 50s/60s. Beautiful film sets too.
	5:47pm Uman25: Good. They finally changed themes. That was a bit much
	♥ 5:48pm San Pedro Girl: They?
	5:48pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Pills" by "New York Dolls" Now, we're getting somewhere. ......
	5:49pm Uman25: The music! And the dialogue too
	5:49pm Fredericks: Go, Johnny, go.
	♥ 5:49pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Pills" by "New York Dolls" RIP David Jo! 🔥❤️🔥
	5:50pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Pills" by "New York Dolls" That album cover was certainly a "standout" in the early 70s record store bins...as I recall. ;-)
	5:51pm Fredericks: No Buzzcocks is disappointing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:51pm prof.fuzz: ↳ San Pedro Girl @5:49 heeeeeeey girl! how are things?

	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm John L: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @5:44 Mr.Savage also compiles cds that usually cover a particular theme. The most recent one is called Jon Savage's The Secret Public: How The LGBTQ+ Aesthetic Shaped Pop Culture 1955 - 1979. It has a few of the songs played during the show. He may have refernced it; I'm at work and could have missed it.
	♥ 5:54pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ prof.fuzz @5:51 Howdy fuzz! Things are good. ;) How’s by you?
	5:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: www.ccmusic.com...
	5:54pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Fredericks @5:51 I used to work for Kodak (UK)...in the 80s...(giving folks photography advice)...and Pete Shelley would often drop off his Kodachrome super 8s for developing at our Piccadilly location (next door to Tower Records).

	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Song: "Evil Eye" by "The Low Spirits" I don’t wanT to join the army! I don’t wan’T to Go To WaR! I’d rather hang around 🎶 Piccadilly underground 🎵 living off the earningS of a high born laYydeee
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm prof.fuzz: ↳ San Pedro Girl @5:56 sorely needed. what a year...
	5:57pm Uman25: That sub-category of a sub-category of a sub-category isn't really worth focusing on. U It's more of a virtue signal I think

	3:55pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "You Lied To Me Before" by "The Treez" Trez or Treez!?! Shazam is saying Trez...but they often get things very wrong...

	🎸 ♥ 4:04pm Deano de los Muertos: my ex-boss who still works with us is a MASSIVE Trump humper, who also cannot retire like he wanted dude to that orange moron…but he’s the biggest Bruce fan I’ve ever known. I’m sure the realization that Bruce would hate his guys is finally hitting home lol
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm John L: Anything having to do with "it's" skin makes me queasy, but yay to Bruce!
	4:05pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Long Tall Sally" by "Little Richard" Whenever I hear a maniacal classic like this...I can't even imagine how "wylde"(sic) his early shows must have been...

	4:18pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Oh! You Pretty Things" by "David Bowie" The piano intro on this has always reminded me of Linus/Charlie Brown shows...

	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm John L: Just read about a new book that might appeal to fans of the new Jon Savage book, Small Town Joy: From glam rock to hyperpop: how queer music changed the sound of Scotland by Carrie Marshall. I have to step up my reading this Summer.

	5:45pm Van Winkle ;-): "Your books are not pamphlets" was a total zinger!!! Great interview TOPT! Recently caught an interesting film "On Swift Horses" which nicely represented the complexities of below-the-radar lifestyles in the 50s/60s. Beautiful film sets too.

	5:57pm Uman25: That sub-category of a sub-category of a sub-category isn't really worth focusing on. U It's more of a virtue signal I think
