	🦇 ♥ 3:02pm Julie: hi SMS!
	♥ 3:02pm βrian: We're getting smoked out here on the isthmus.
	🦇 ♥ 3:02pm Julie: Hi Brian! Does that mean a good time or fire smoke?
	🦇 ♥ 3:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Plastic Passion" by "The Cure" So weird not to hear "10:15 Saturday Night" start up!
	🦇 ♥ 3:03pm A.J. MACHETE: No pope. (lol)
	3:04pm Sylvia: Hi Julie and all
	🦇 ♥ 3:05pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Stones of Judgement" by "28th Day" Ooh, nice stuff, this 28th Day!
	🦇 ♥ 3:05pm Julie: hi Sylvia!
	♥ 3:05pm βrian: ↳ Julie @3:02 Canadian effluent, sadly.
	🦇 ♥ 3:06pm Julie: ↳ βrian @3:05 oh dear. Heading our way, I'm sure. More yellow skies. Sigh
	🦇 ♥ 3:06pm Bas NL: Hi Julie! Hi all!
	🦇 ♥ 3:06pm Julie: hi Bas!
	♥ 3:08pm leshwatt: Hi Julie and y’all. Not much smoke yet in Ohio but plenty of periodical cicadas!
	🦇 ♥ 3:09pm Julie: hi leshwatt!
	🦇 ♥ 3:09pm Crafty: hi Julie, hi all
	🦇 ♥ 3:10pm Julie: hi Crafty!
	🦇 ♥ 3:10pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ βrian @3:05 Are Canadian wildfires a relatively new thing? I seem to only remember hearing that phrase just in the last few years.
	🦇 ♥ 3:11pm ∫ydniuß: Hello Julie, Dark ones!
	♥ 3:11pm βrian: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @3:10 At this scale, fairly new.
	🦇 ♥ 3:11pm Midge: Hi Julie and dark souls!
	🦇 ♥ 3:12pm Julie: hi Midge!
	🦇 ♥ 3:12pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @3:10 Either that or the wind pattern that brings their smoke to northeastern U.S.
	🦇 ♥ 3:13pm dreamyandseedy: hello hello!
	🦇 ♥ 3:13pm Julie: hi dreamy!
	♥ 3:14pm βrian: Pretty pictures here: firesmoke.ca...
	♥ 3:14pm leshwatt: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @3:12 Maybe abnormal patterns of rain, wilder weather swings? Warmer warms?
	🦇 ♥ 3:17pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ leshwatt @3:14 All of the above, perhaps.
	3:18pm Curtis: Hiya Julie! Digging this Long Blondes track!!
	🦇 ♥ 3:18pm Julie: hiya Curtis!
	♥ 3:20pm leshwatt: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @3:17 The cicadas will help the birds and the bats tho…..
	🦇 ♥ 3:21pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ leshwatt @3:20 Click, click, click.
	🦇 ♥ 3:30pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ βrian @3:14 yikes! i had no idea. :(
	🦇 ♥ 3:37pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Singin' in the Rain" by "Taco" Don't think I've heard very much else by Taco except that one biggie! Nice!
	3:37pm Jay Current: ↳ Song: "Radio Radio (instrumental)" by "La-Le-Lu" Some of the transatlantic album changes back in the '60 and '70s were caused by UK bands not including singles on LPs. American labels preferred having those on the LPs for sales reason. A lot of them do seem largely arbitrary though.
	🦇 ♥ 3:38pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Song: "Singin' in the Rain" by "Taco" I got the deluxe edition. And, him being a 1-hit-wonder, there were like 4 or 5 versions of that 1 song, including one in … I forget what other language.
	🦇 ♥ 3:38pm Julie: hiya Jay! that makes sense. But then they get rid of other songs.
	🦇 ♥ 3:38pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Singin' in the Rain" by "Taco" Also, it's lowkey calling back to our Clockwork Orange open!
	🦇 ♥ 3:38pm Julie: ↳ listener james from westwood @3:37 yeah as great as Ritz is I had to play something else!
	3:39pm Jay Current: ↳ listener james from westwood @3:37 I actually have the Taco album with this one and his big hit. Really weird combination of Tin Pan Alley and frigid synth pop.
	🦇 ♥ 3:40pm Julie: frigid synth pop is a great phrase
	🦇 ♥ 3:44pm Krull Sagan: Julie! Darkling Ones! A pleasant surprise to find theee spinning & assembled here...
	🦇 ♥ 3:45pm Julie: hi Krull!
	🦇 ♥ 3:45pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:59 whoops, almost jinx'd ya Handerson
	🦇 ♥ 3:46pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Krull Sagan @3:45 or you me.....great minds, and all hahah
	3:46pm Jay Current: ↳ Julie @3:38 Just keep removing songs for another 2 or 3 albums and then you can combine all your removed tracks and some B-sides to make a US only compilation album. Happened to about every British Invasion band that hung around long enough.
	🦇 ♥ 3:46pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Julie @3:45 my cats are eagerly awaiting your mic breaks; you can probably guess why!
	🦇 ♥ 3:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and dark club!
	🦇 ♥ 3:53pm Julie: hi Ken!
	3:56pm Boulder Tom: I finally ventured from the mothership. This is my new favorite show.
	🦇 ♥ 3:56pm Julie: hi Boulder Tom! wow thank you!
	🦇 ♥ 3:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krull Sagan @3:46 You wanted it dark!
	3:57pm Uncle Monk: Checking in a bit late from upstate NY (in this case defined as Binghamtonish) to say skies are trending yellow.
	🦇 ♥ 3:58pm Julie: hi Uncle Monk. Oh my. When it happened was it last year? Maybe the year before? It looked like we were on mars or something
	3:58pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @3:58 Not as bad as 2023 yet when we had to mask outside.
	3:59pm Uncle Monk: I always remember that year because it's when I finally moved out of my parents' into my current apartment and everything looked apocalyptic for a month.
	🦇 ♥ 4:00pm Julie: ↳ Uncle Monk @3:58 that may be what I'm remembering...what is time
	🦇 ♥ 4:00pm Handy Haversack: We played a softball game during peak apocalypse in 2003. Apparently, that's the kind of conditions under which we excel.
	4:00pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @4:00 Seriously, every month is at least three years long now.
	4:01pm kev: Hi Julie
	🦇 ♥ 4:01pm Julie: hi kev!
	♥ 4:03pm leshwatt: Diggin this set thanks Julie!
	🦇 ♥ 4:03pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Song: "I Wonder If He Has Teeth Now?" by "WARM" wooooof, BANGER
	🦇 ♥ 4:03pm Julie: thanks leshwatt!
	4:04pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Krull Sagan @4:03 Official Good Guitar Sound
	🦇 ♥ 4:05pm dreamyandseedy: ↳ Song: "I Wonder If He Has Teeth Now?" by "WARM" i loved this album! or EP. perfect
	🦇 ♥ 4:06pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Song: "Transmission" by "Susan and the Surftones" most recognizable 3-note bass intro ever? For us, anyway
	♥ 4:07pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Singin' in the Rain" by "Taco" Singin' in the Ritz
	🦇 ♥ 4:07pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:04 haha you said it, Monk.... My firsat girlfriend was from Sayre, PA (in your neck o' th' woods?) and we were in Central PA
	♥ 4:09pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Femme Fatale" by "The Chefs" Yeah it's more like "fam" than "fem."
	🦇 ♥ 4:09pm mdashkin: ↳ Song: "Singin' in the Rain" by "Taco" My Mom and Dad enjoyed that record!
	🦇 ♥ 4:11pm Julie: hi Roberto! hi mdashkin!
	♥ 4:11pm TDK60: Hello Julie.
	🦇 ♥ 4:12pm Julie: hi TDK!
	4:12pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Krull Sagan @4:07 I know Sayre as the central hub of Guthrie Medical Group, who'll be doing a cardiac monitor for me soon. As for the rest of PA, the bulk of my mom's side of the family is from New Kensington and have always insisted they should be called Yoonzers, not Yinzers.
	4:13pm Uncle Monk: You don't clean a room, you "ret it up," a paper bag is a poke, and when there's ice on the ground it's "slippy" out.
	🦇 ♥ 4:18pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:12 Goodness! I hope it all goes well for you...I am from Central, we were just discussing the boundaries of Yinzer territory; our accent is way different, we don't have any of those particular idioms but have a very particular accent, somewhere between Baltimore style and Australian for some reason
	♥ 4:18pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @4:09 I didn't know this either until I heard an art history professor pronounce it like that.
	🦇 ♥ 4:19pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:13 you have to drive west a ways to get to Yinzers 'n' at
	🦇 ♥ 4:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "Dreams in Exile" Broken Toys, or just Misfit Toys?? HI Julie and Exiled Dreamers!
	4:21pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Krull Sagan @4:19 haha and Giant Iggle?
	🦇 ♥ 4:22pm Julie: hiya Matt!
	🦇 ♥ 4:23pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:21 your transliteration is exceptional! One of the towns near us was/is Bald Eagle..."bohwd iggle"
	4:24pm Boulder Tom: Beautiful song
	4:26pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Krull Sagan @4:23 And thanks. Hoping the monitor gives an answer to fatigue I'm dealing with since I finally beat my fear of needles and all my bloodwork numbers are excellent, no problems there. I can't imagine a Baltimore/Australian mashup but aren't accents and dialects great? I hope they never die out completely. There's a town up here called Endicott and you're a local if you know it's pronounced ENDY-cott.
	🦇 ♥ 4:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "eishgini" by "lovesliescrushing" Ahhh yes, lovesliescrushing... ("...in my hands!") 😉
	🦇 ♥ 4:33pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Song: "eishgini" by "lovesliescrushing" whooaaaaaaaaaaaa
	🦇 ♥ 4:38pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:30 Matt, have you ever disclosed which Springfield you're from, or like the Simpsons, do you continually dodge the question? I remember they came close once, but someone walked in front of the "camera" as a student was pointing it out on a map hahah
	🦇 ♥ 4:38pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Bedroom Girl" by "Tremosphere" Oww! Is it released yet?
	🦇 ♥ 4:39pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bedroom Girl" by "Tremosphere" Woooooo! New Tremosphere!
	🦇 ♥ 4:39pm Julie: ↳ Bas NL @4:38 yes!
	🦇 ♥ 4:42pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Krull Sagan @4:38 I'm going to not-so-politely dodge that question!! 😁 Actually, I am in Springfield, VA, in the Washington DC metro area. I grew up in so-called "West Springfield", and now live at the southern edge of the region, but still with a Springfield postal address! (And yeah, longtime Simpsons fan to boot! 😀 So naturally, I'm happy to be a lifelong Springfielder!)
	🦇 ♥ 4:42pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @4:39 i had it on pre-order.. getting it now!
	🦇 ♥ 4:42pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:42 I love it
	🦇 ♥ 4:43pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:30 clicky-star buddies!
	4:45pm laurapanic: good morning.....dark night ending here, sunrise right this moment.....
	🦇 ♥ 4:50pm Julie: morning Laura!
	4:50pm Jay Current: ↳ Song: "Lalena (instrumental)" by "Deep Purple" Dark mid-evening of the soul
	🦇 ♥ 4:50pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Sisters of the Cross (piano demo)" by "Elton John" Oooh, nice piano+vox demo!
	4:51pm Uncle Monk: Time to admit I'm jealous of your Elton John collection.
	4:51pm Uncle Monk: You have all the deluxe editions of the great early stuff.
	🦇 ♥ 4:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Jay Current @4:50 Even more brutally, The Afternoon Commute of the Soul... 😒
	🦇 ♥ 4:52pm Julie: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:51 they're so good! they'll never do a deluxe Empty Sky which is a shame
	4:53pm Jay Current: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:51 Nothing like the feeling of driving directly into the UV ray assault of the setting sun.
	🦇 ♥ 4:54pm Julie: ↳ Jay Current @4:53 UGH that's the worst
	4:54pm Jay Current: ↳ Song: "Sisters of the Cross (piano demo)" by "Elton John" It was said earlier that Joe Jackson is difficult to place. Elton John is the opposite; he's got something you can throw on for any occasion.
	4:55pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @4:52 Maybe if we all clap our hands and believe in a deluxe Empty Sky . . . What do you think would be the best way to get these Eltons for those who missed out on the initial releases?
	🦇 ♥ 4:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Alice" by "Cocteau Twins" "Alice"(y)
	🦇 ♥ 4:56pm Julie: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:55 I would check discogs but amazon probably has a bunch of them too. The newer deluxe ones the big boxes you can find on elton's site
	🦇 ♥ 4:56pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:55 Or "Aleese" repeating upon itself.
	4:57pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @4:56 Thank you.
	🦇 ♥ 4:58pm dreamyandseedy: haven't heard this before somehow! lovely
	4:59pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Song: "Alice" by "Cocteau Twins" I probably haven’t heard this song for 25 years or something… so lovely to revisit this. And glad to be here too, hi Julie and other friendly souls
	🦇 ♥ 4:59pm Julie: hi Cha Cha!
	5:00pm Uncle Monk: My parents' old vinyl collection somehow ended up with two copies of Elton's soundtrack to "friends."
	🦇 ♥ 5:01pm Julie: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:00 that's a good album!
	5:03pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @5:01 Somebody really liked it!
	🦇 ♥ 5:04pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Song: "Out Of My Head" by "Tashaki Miyaki" sheesh another right-off-the-bat bangtastic rocker, just what I needed, all throughout the show....thanks so mush, Julie
	🦇 ♥ 5:05pm Julie: ↳ Krull Sagan @5:04 glad you're enjoying it!
	5:06pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Song: "Out Of My Head" by "Tashaki Miyaki" Great from the first notes.
	🦇 ♥ 5:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:00 My parents notably both had copies of Wings "Band on the Run". As the inheritor/steward of their vinyl, I sold or traded the extra. BUT, I made my own for myself, I kept the better of the two discs, AND kept it in the better of the two covers!! 😲
	5:08pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:06 Now that's the way to do it. As far as I remember the only Wings in the mom and dad catalogue here is a pretty beat up Wings Over America.
	♥ 5:16pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Where Evil Grows" by "The Poppy Family" Tasty nugget.
	🦇 ♥ 5:17pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Where Evil Grows" by "The Poppy Family" OF COURSE I have this nugget starred already. Always a treat!
	🦇 ♥ 5:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ listener james from westwood @5:17 Country-tinged Popsike-le Nugget! Hey ljfw!
	🦇 ♥ 5:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Fantasy" by "Lush" LUSH! 😊 As they are, always.
	🦇 ♥ 5:19pm chris in the redwoods: ooooh, thought this Lush was going to be Stone Roses there for a sec. similar opening. happy to have either, tbh! :)
	5:19pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Song: "Where Evil Grows" by "The Poppy Family" This was awesome.
	♥ 5:19pm Roberto: ↳ listener james from westwood @5:17 Did we both just independently summon the Nugget Lord?
	5:20pm laurapanic: has anyone read Miki Berenyi's (lush) memoir? Its really great.
	🦇 ♥ 5:20pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Where Evil Grows" by "The Poppy Family" WHOA! Terry Jacks' group! With Susan, the first Mrs. Jacks!! en.wikipedia.org...
	5:20pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Song: "Fantasy" by "Lush" Easily in my top ten favourite Lush songs.
	5:21pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ laurapanic @5:20 And disturbing at times
	5:22pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:21 (Referring to the abuse she experienced as a child)
	5:22pm Uncle Monk: ↳ laurapanic @5:20 Haven't. Have you seen the "A Far From Home Movie" documentary? It's on The Criterion Channel right now and I'm wondering if it's worth a look.
	5:24pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:22 A pity it is no longer available on Vimeo, Criterion does not agree with my equipment (age old pc and an even older tv)
	5:26pm laurapanic: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:21 absolutely, that was a really intense aspect of the book, that I did not expect. The abuse of a type slightly different to what is usually written about...
	5:26pm laurapanic: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:22 I haven't heard of it, but love any music doco for sure.
	5:28pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:24 I'll never figure out what (besides the arcane flow of money) determines the pinballing of a piece of media from one streaming service to another month by month.
	5:30pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:24 I also, because I no longer have a TV and computers no longer by default come with disc drives, had to buy a CD/DVD/Blu-ray player plug-in peripheral to watch my discs and even then discovered that companies don't want you watching Blu-rays for free and require you to buy proprietary software packages for that on top of the hardware.
	5:31pm Uncle Monk: Not a computer whiz anymore but managed to spend a night doing some fiddly fuckery to get around it. Still man did that piss me off. So many hurdles now between you and enjoying what you have.
	🦇 ♥ 5:32pm Julie: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:30 UGH how annoying is that
	5:32pm laurapanic: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:30 my teen buys CDs that can be from like, the 90s. Watching any of the old "enhanced features" on those CDs is really almost impossible.....
	5:33pm Uncle Monk: ↳ laurapanic @5:32 I hate all the built-in obsolescence we get in everything. But I'll check out that Lush doc and let you know how it was the next time we cross paths in the comments.
	5:34pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @5:32 It made me feel very very old.
	🦇 ♥ 5:38pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Imitation" by "Holy Ship" Holy Ship! I like it!
	🦇 ♥ 5:39pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Yvang @5:38 reminiscent of the Verve, perhaps. liked here as well. :)
	5:40pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ laurapanic @5:32 If you have an optical drive on your computer, VLC player should be able to read most file formats on those extra features
	🦇 ♥ 5:41pm Yvang: ↳ chris in the redwoods @5:39 Yes the Verve besides their huge hit that we all know were good.
	5:43pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:40 Very thankful for VLC.
	5:46pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:33 I use an obsolete computer every day, namely a 2007 iMac. Because its internal speakers are surprisingly good, I listen to my internet radio with that. Most webpages are unavailable even if there’s some browsers designed for ancient OS X use. Online banking would be stupidly risky…
	🦇 ♥ 5:46pm chris in the redwoods: so much bloody talent in the Corsano family! much love their way. :)
	5:47pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:43 Yes, me too!
	5:49pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:46 I used to keep a brick of a laptop that couldn't connect to the internet and basically use it as a typewriter and for file storage/viewing. I should get back to that practice. You don't miss much forced to keep it simple.
	5:52pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Song: "Springtime, Save Our Country" by "Mahogany" I like the big sound on this 'un.
	♥ 5:52pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Springtime, Save Our Country" by "Mahogany" I'm drenched in sound.
	🦇 ♥ 5:53pm Bas NL: Great set of beautiful tracks, Julie!
	🦇 ♥ 5:54pm Julie: thanks Bas!
	5:56pm miles of middle texas: Thanks Julie !
	🦇 ♥ 5:56pm Julie: hi Miles! not done yet!
	🦇 ♥ 5:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Imitation" by "Holy Ship" AH! "Holy Ship!" Hidden in plain sight 😄
	🦇 ♥ 6:00pm Matt from Springfield: Considering this episode's title and pic - I'm guessing a "Toy" block? 😉
	🦇 ♥ 6:01pm Julie: toy? blocks?
	♥ 6:01pm James Douglas: Hi Julie. The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack is a portmanteau of the last names of the 4 band members.
	🦇 ♥ 6:01pm Julie: Hi James! ah! Thank you!
	6:02pm miles of middle texas: Uh oops. I'm all rudderless, I began being half retired. I should be working, but I started today planning another week long canoe journey. Working two days a week should be good. ✌️
	🦇 ♥ 6:02pm Julie: a WEEK? in a canoe?
	♥ 6:02pm James Douglas: ↳ Julie @6:01 Keith Emerson, David O'List, Brian Davison and Lee Jackson.
	6:04pm Uncle Monk: Gotta go from Cuddly Toys to Roachford - Cuddly Toy.
	🦇 ♥ 6:06pm Yvang: Why am I suddenly thinking about Lene Lovitch?
	🦇 ♥ 6:07pm Yvang: ↳ Yvang @6:06 Well she doesn't have 'Toy' in her name. anyway..
	🦇 ♥ 6:08pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Yvang @6:07 Surely "Toyah" would count for a "Toy" block, yes? 😉
	🦇 ♥ 6:10pm Julie: yeah but I didn't include her...several artists with some form of Toyah or Toya in their name actually
	🦇 ♥ 6:13pm Julie: lots of Toys in the 80s
	🦇 ♥ 6:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @6:13 Early '80s especially, it looks like!
	🦇 ♥ 6:15pm luca: hello dark 1s
	🦇 ♥ 6:16pm Julie: hi luca!
	🦇 ♥ 6:16pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ luca @6:15 Hello luca, dark second-to-none!
	6:19pm manana: This set kicking ass
	🦇 ♥ 6:20pm Julie: thanks manana!
	🦇 ♥ 6:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Catatonic" by "Babes in Toyland" Ummm, this is online-only, right?? 😯
	6:21pm manana: Thanks are due you
	🦇 ♥ 6:22pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Catatonic" by "Babes in Toyland" Babes in Toyland! Nice!!
	🦇 ♥ 6:23pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:21 music as the artist intended. bless the stream!
	🦇 ♥ 6:23pm Matt from Springfield: "Toys in Babeland", as commenter fred von helsing used to call them! 😄
	🦇 ♥ 6:24pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Idle Gossip" by "Toy Dolls" Of course!
	🦇 ♥ 6:24pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ chris in the redwoods @6:23 TGFT GTDR! 💖🤘
	🦇 ♥ 6:26pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Idle Gossip" by "Toy Dolls" "The Toy Dolls are an English punk rock band formed in 1979. They are best known for their sole UK hit, a punk-rock cover of "Nellie the Elephant". The Toy Dolls' songs expressed a sense of fun, such as "Yul Brynner Was a Skinhead", "My Girlfriend's Dad's a Vicar" and "James Bond Lives Down Our Street", and songs titles often use alliteration, such as "Peter Practice's Practice Place", "Fisticuffs in Frederick Street", "Neville Is a Nerd", and "Quick to Quit the Quentin"." en.wikipedia.org... Also considered to be "Oi!" and "Punk pathetique" genres.
	🦇 ♥ 6:29pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:26 Greasy Kid Stuff used to play James Bond...that's how I found out about them
	6:31pm newton: ↳ Julie @6:29 I listened to Greasy kid stuff yesterday! the one where ken filled-in!
	🦇 ♥ 6:31pm Julie: hi newton! such a great show
	♥ 6:34pm newton: hi Julie!
	🦇 ♥ 6:34pm Matt from Springfield: Interesting era, all these "Toy" bands from the start of the '80s have a complementary sound. We ought to name this micro-genre "Toywave"! 😃
	🦇 ♥ 6:35pm chris in the redwoods: must aways early as puppers is asking for a walk now. thanks, Julie! toodles, everyone.
	🦇 ♥ 6:36pm chris in the redwoods: btw, lots o clicky-starred goodness today, Julie! much fun was had! :)

	🦇 ♥ 6:46pm Julie: Where's Laura wonder if she knows these Aussies
	🦇 ♥ 6:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @6:45 That does go back far! Did The Toys perform at the Fair or an exhibit there?
	🦇 ♥ 6:48pm Crafty: great show! Thank you!
	♥ 6:48pm Alex from Media: ↳ Julie @6:45 I was only 5. I remember it being piped over the speakers.

	♥ 3:02pm βrian: We're getting smoked out here on the isthmus.
	🦇 ♥ 3:02pm Julie: Hi Brian! Does that mean a good time or fire smoke?
	🦇 ♥ 3:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Plastic Passion" by "The Cure" So weird not to hear "10:15 Saturday Night" start up!
	🦇 ♥ 3:03pm A.J. MACHETE: No pope. (lol)
	3:04pm Sylvia: Hi Julie and all
	🦇 ♥ 3:05pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Stones of Judgement" by "28th Day" Ooh, nice stuff, this 28th Day!
	🦇 ♥ 3:05pm Julie: hi Sylvia!
	♥ 3:05pm βrian: ↳ Julie @3:02 Canadian effluent, sadly.
	🦇 ♥ 3:06pm Julie: ↳ βrian @3:05 oh dear. Heading our way, I'm sure. More yellow skies. Sigh
	🦇 ♥ 3:06pm Bas NL: Hi Julie! Hi all!
	🦇 ♥ 3:06pm Julie: hi Bas!
	♥ 3:08pm leshwatt: Hi Julie and y’all. Not much smoke yet in Ohio but plenty of periodical cicadas!
	🦇 ♥ 3:09pm Julie: hi leshwatt!
	🦇 ♥ 3:09pm Crafty: hi Julie, hi all
	🦇 ♥ 3:10pm Julie: hi Crafty!
	🦇 ♥ 3:10pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ βrian @3:05 Are Canadian wildfires a relatively new thing? I seem to only remember hearing that phrase just in the last few years.
	🦇 ♥ 3:11pm ∫ydniuß: Hello Julie, Dark ones!
	♥ 3:11pm βrian: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @3:10 At this scale, fairly new.
	🦇 ♥ 3:11pm Midge: Hi Julie and dark souls!
	🦇 ♥ 3:12pm Julie: hi Midge!
	🦇 ♥ 3:12pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @3:10 Either that or the wind pattern that brings their smoke to northeastern U.S.
	🦇 ♥ 3:13pm dreamyandseedy: hello hello!
	🦇 ♥ 3:13pm Julie: hi dreamy!
	♥ 3:14pm βrian: Pretty pictures here: firesmoke.ca...
	♥ 3:14pm leshwatt: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @3:12 Maybe abnormal patterns of rain, wilder weather swings? Warmer warms?
	🦇 ♥ 3:17pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ leshwatt @3:14 All of the above, perhaps.
	3:18pm Curtis: Hiya Julie! Digging this Long Blondes track!!
	🦇 ♥ 3:18pm Julie: hiya Curtis!
	♥ 3:20pm leshwatt: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @3:17 The cicadas will help the birds and the bats tho…..
	🦇 ♥ 3:21pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ leshwatt @3:20 Click, click, click.
	🦇 ♥ 3:30pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ βrian @3:14 yikes! i had no idea. :(
	🦇 ♥ 3:37pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Singin' in the Rain" by "Taco" Don't think I've heard very much else by Taco except that one biggie! Nice!
	3:37pm Jay Current: ↳ Song: "Radio Radio (instrumental)" by "La-Le-Lu" Some of the transatlantic album changes back in the '60 and '70s were caused by UK bands not including singles on LPs. American labels preferred having those on the LPs for sales reason. A lot of them do seem largely arbitrary though.
	🦇 ♥ 3:38pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Song: "Singin' in the Rain" by "Taco" I got the deluxe edition. And, him being a 1-hit-wonder, there were like 4 or 5 versions of that 1 song, including one in … I forget what other language.
	🦇 ♥ 3:38pm Julie: hiya Jay! that makes sense. But then they get rid of other songs.
	🦇 ♥ 3:38pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Singin' in the Rain" by "Taco" Also, it's lowkey calling back to our Clockwork Orange open!
	🦇 ♥ 3:38pm Julie: ↳ listener james from westwood @3:37 yeah as great as Ritz is I had to play something else!
	3:39pm Jay Current: ↳ listener james from westwood @3:37 I actually have the Taco album with this one and his big hit. Really weird combination of Tin Pan Alley and frigid synth pop.
	🦇 ♥ 3:40pm Julie: frigid synth pop is a great phrase
	🦇 ♥ 3:44pm Krull Sagan: Julie! Darkling Ones! A pleasant surprise to find theee spinning & assembled here...
	🦇 ♥ 3:45pm Julie: hi Krull!
	🦇 ♥ 3:45pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:59 whoops, almost jinx'd ya Handerson
	🦇 ♥ 3:46pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Krull Sagan @3:45 or you me.....great minds, and all hahah
	3:46pm Jay Current: ↳ Julie @3:38 Just keep removing songs for another 2 or 3 albums and then you can combine all your removed tracks and some B-sides to make a US only compilation album. Happened to about every British Invasion band that hung around long enough.
	🦇 ♥ 3:46pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Julie @3:45 my cats are eagerly awaiting your mic breaks; you can probably guess why!
	🦇 ♥ 3:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and dark club!
	🦇 ♥ 3:53pm Julie: hi Ken!
	3:56pm Boulder Tom: I finally ventured from the mothership. This is my new favorite show.
	🦇 ♥ 3:56pm Julie: hi Boulder Tom! wow thank you!
	🦇 ♥ 3:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krull Sagan @3:46 You wanted it dark!
	3:57pm Uncle Monk: Checking in a bit late from upstate NY (in this case defined as Binghamtonish) to say skies are trending yellow.
	🦇 ♥ 3:58pm Julie: hi Uncle Monk. Oh my. When it happened was it last year? Maybe the year before? It looked like we were on mars or something
	3:58pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @3:58 Not as bad as 2023 yet when we had to mask outside.
	3:59pm Uncle Monk: I always remember that year because it's when I finally moved out of my parents' into my current apartment and everything looked apocalyptic for a month.
	🦇 ♥ 4:00pm Julie: ↳ Uncle Monk @3:58 that may be what I'm remembering...what is time
	🦇 ♥ 4:00pm Handy Haversack: We played a softball game during peak apocalypse in 2003. Apparently, that's the kind of conditions under which we excel.
	4:00pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @4:00 Seriously, every month is at least three years long now.
	4:01pm kev: Hi Julie
	🦇 ♥ 4:01pm Julie: hi kev!
	♥ 4:03pm leshwatt: Diggin this set thanks Julie!
	🦇 ♥ 4:03pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Song: "I Wonder If He Has Teeth Now?" by "WARM" wooooof, BANGER
	🦇 ♥ 4:03pm Julie: thanks leshwatt!
	4:04pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Krull Sagan @4:03 Official Good Guitar Sound
	🦇 ♥ 4:05pm dreamyandseedy: ↳ Song: "I Wonder If He Has Teeth Now?" by "WARM" i loved this album! or EP. perfect
	🦇 ♥ 4:06pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Song: "Transmission" by "Susan and the Surftones" most recognizable 3-note bass intro ever? For us, anyway
	♥ 4:07pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Singin' in the Rain" by "Taco" Singin' in the Ritz
	🦇 ♥ 4:07pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:04 haha you said it, Monk.... My firsat girlfriend was from Sayre, PA (in your neck o' th' woods?) and we were in Central PA
	♥ 4:09pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Femme Fatale" by "The Chefs" Yeah it's more like "fam" than "fem."
	🦇 ♥ 4:09pm mdashkin: ↳ Song: "Singin' in the Rain" by "Taco" My Mom and Dad enjoyed that record!
	🦇 ♥ 4:11pm Julie: hi Roberto! hi mdashkin!
	♥ 4:11pm TDK60: Hello Julie.
	🦇 ♥ 4:12pm Julie: hi TDK!
	4:12pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Krull Sagan @4:07 I know Sayre as the central hub of Guthrie Medical Group, who'll be doing a cardiac monitor for me soon. As for the rest of PA, the bulk of my mom's side of the family is from New Kensington and have always insisted they should be called Yoonzers, not Yinzers.
	4:13pm Uncle Monk: You don't clean a room, you "ret it up," a paper bag is a poke, and when there's ice on the ground it's "slippy" out.
	🦇 ♥ 4:18pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:12 Goodness! I hope it all goes well for you...I am from Central, we were just discussing the boundaries of Yinzer territory; our accent is way different, we don't have any of those particular idioms but have a very particular accent, somewhere between Baltimore style and Australian for some reason
	♥ 4:18pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @4:09 I didn't know this either until I heard an art history professor pronounce it like that.
	🦇 ♥ 4:19pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:13 you have to drive west a ways to get to Yinzers 'n' at
	🦇 ♥ 4:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "Dreams in Exile" Broken Toys, or just Misfit Toys?? HI Julie and Exiled Dreamers!
	4:21pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Krull Sagan @4:19 haha and Giant Iggle?
	🦇 ♥ 4:22pm Julie: hiya Matt!
	🦇 ♥ 4:23pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:21 your transliteration is exceptional! One of the towns near us was/is Bald Eagle..."bohwd iggle"
	4:24pm Boulder Tom: Beautiful song
	4:26pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Krull Sagan @4:23 And thanks. Hoping the monitor gives an answer to fatigue I'm dealing with since I finally beat my fear of needles and all my bloodwork numbers are excellent, no problems there. I can't imagine a Baltimore/Australian mashup but aren't accents and dialects great? I hope they never die out completely. There's a town up here called Endicott and you're a local if you know it's pronounced ENDY-cott.
	🦇 ♥ 4:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "eishgini" by "lovesliescrushing" Ahhh yes, lovesliescrushing... ("...in my hands!") 😉
	🦇 ♥ 4:33pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Song: "eishgini" by "lovesliescrushing" whooaaaaaaaaaaaa
	🦇 ♥ 4:38pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:30 Matt, have you ever disclosed which Springfield you're from, or like the Simpsons, do you continually dodge the question? I remember they came close once, but someone walked in front of the "camera" as a student was pointing it out on a map hahah
	🦇 ♥ 4:38pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Bedroom Girl" by "Tremosphere" Oww! Is it released yet?
	🦇 ♥ 4:39pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bedroom Girl" by "Tremosphere" Woooooo! New Tremosphere!
	🦇 ♥ 4:39pm Julie: ↳ Bas NL @4:38 yes!
	🦇 ♥ 4:42pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Krull Sagan @4:38 I'm going to not-so-politely dodge that question!! 😁 Actually, I am in Springfield, VA, in the Washington DC metro area. I grew up in so-called "West Springfield", and now live at the southern edge of the region, but still with a Springfield postal address! (And yeah, longtime Simpsons fan to boot! 😀 So naturally, I'm happy to be a lifelong Springfielder!)
	🦇 ♥ 4:42pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @4:39 i had it on pre-order.. getting it now!
	🦇 ♥ 4:42pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:42 I love it
	🦇 ♥ 4:43pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:30 clicky-star buddies!
	4:45pm laurapanic: good morning.....dark night ending here, sunrise right this moment.....
	🦇 ♥ 4:50pm Julie: morning Laura!
	4:50pm Jay Current: ↳ Song: "Lalena (instrumental)" by "Deep Purple" Dark mid-evening of the soul
	🦇 ♥ 4:50pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Sisters of the Cross (piano demo)" by "Elton John" Oooh, nice piano+vox demo!
	4:51pm Uncle Monk: Time to admit I'm jealous of your Elton John collection.
	4:51pm Uncle Monk: You have all the deluxe editions of the great early stuff.
	🦇 ♥ 4:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Jay Current @4:50 Even more brutally, The Afternoon Commute of the Soul... 😒
	🦇 ♥ 4:52pm Julie: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:51 they're so good! they'll never do a deluxe Empty Sky which is a shame
	4:53pm Jay Current: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:51 Nothing like the feeling of driving directly into the UV ray assault of the setting sun.
	🦇 ♥ 4:54pm Julie: ↳ Jay Current @4:53 UGH that's the worst
	4:54pm Jay Current: ↳ Song: "Sisters of the Cross (piano demo)" by "Elton John" It was said earlier that Joe Jackson is difficult to place. Elton John is the opposite; he's got something you can throw on for any occasion.
	4:55pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @4:52 Maybe if we all clap our hands and believe in a deluxe Empty Sky . . . What do you think would be the best way to get these Eltons for those who missed out on the initial releases?
	🦇 ♥ 4:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Alice" by "Cocteau Twins" "Alice"(y)
	🦇 ♥ 4:56pm Julie: ↳ Uncle Monk @4:55 I would check discogs but amazon probably has a bunch of them too. The newer deluxe ones the big boxes you can find on elton's site
	🦇 ♥ 4:56pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:55 Or "Aleese" repeating upon itself.
	4:57pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @4:56 Thank you.
	🦇 ♥ 4:58pm dreamyandseedy: haven't heard this before somehow! lovely
	4:59pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Song: "Alice" by "Cocteau Twins" I probably haven’t heard this song for 25 years or something… so lovely to revisit this. And glad to be here too, hi Julie and other friendly souls
	🦇 ♥ 4:59pm Julie: hi Cha Cha!
	5:00pm Uncle Monk: My parents' old vinyl collection somehow ended up with two copies of Elton's soundtrack to "friends."
	🦇 ♥ 5:01pm Julie: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:00 that's a good album!
	5:03pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @5:01 Somebody really liked it!
	🦇 ♥ 5:04pm Krull Sagan: ↳ Song: "Out Of My Head" by "Tashaki Miyaki" sheesh another right-off-the-bat bangtastic rocker, just what I needed, all throughout the show....thanks so mush, Julie
	🦇 ♥ 5:05pm Julie: ↳ Krull Sagan @5:04 glad you're enjoying it!
	5:06pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Song: "Out Of My Head" by "Tashaki Miyaki" Great from the first notes.
	🦇 ♥ 5:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:00 My parents notably both had copies of Wings "Band on the Run". As the inheritor/steward of their vinyl, I sold or traded the extra. BUT, I made my own for myself, I kept the better of the two discs, AND kept it in the better of the two covers!! 😲
	5:08pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:06 Now that's the way to do it. As far as I remember the only Wings in the mom and dad catalogue here is a pretty beat up Wings Over America.
	♥ 5:16pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Where Evil Grows" by "The Poppy Family" Tasty nugget.
	🦇 ♥ 5:17pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Where Evil Grows" by "The Poppy Family" OF COURSE I have this nugget starred already. Always a treat!
	🦇 ♥ 5:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ listener james from westwood @5:17 Country-tinged Popsike-le Nugget! Hey ljfw!
	🦇 ♥ 5:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Fantasy" by "Lush" LUSH! 😊 As they are, always.
	🦇 ♥ 5:19pm chris in the redwoods: ooooh, thought this Lush was going to be Stone Roses there for a sec. similar opening. happy to have either, tbh! :)
	5:19pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Song: "Where Evil Grows" by "The Poppy Family" This was awesome.
	♥ 5:19pm Roberto: ↳ listener james from westwood @5:17 Did we both just independently summon the Nugget Lord?
	5:20pm laurapanic: has anyone read Miki Berenyi's (lush) memoir? Its really great.
	🦇 ♥ 5:20pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Where Evil Grows" by "The Poppy Family" WHOA! Terry Jacks' group! With Susan, the first Mrs. Jacks!! en.wikipedia.org...
	5:20pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Song: "Fantasy" by "Lush" Easily in my top ten favourite Lush songs.
	5:21pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ laurapanic @5:20 And disturbing at times
	5:22pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:21 (Referring to the abuse she experienced as a child)
	5:22pm Uncle Monk: ↳ laurapanic @5:20 Haven't. Have you seen the "A Far From Home Movie" documentary? It's on The Criterion Channel right now and I'm wondering if it's worth a look.
	5:24pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:22 A pity it is no longer available on Vimeo, Criterion does not agree with my equipment (age old pc and an even older tv)
	5:26pm laurapanic: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:21 absolutely, that was a really intense aspect of the book, that I did not expect. The abuse of a type slightly different to what is usually written about...
	5:26pm laurapanic: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:22 I haven't heard of it, but love any music doco for sure.
	5:28pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:24 I'll never figure out what (besides the arcane flow of money) determines the pinballing of a piece of media from one streaming service to another month by month.
	5:30pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:24 I also, because I no longer have a TV and computers no longer by default come with disc drives, had to buy a CD/DVD/Blu-ray player plug-in peripheral to watch my discs and even then discovered that companies don't want you watching Blu-rays for free and require you to buy proprietary software packages for that on top of the hardware.
	5:31pm Uncle Monk: Not a computer whiz anymore but managed to spend a night doing some fiddly fuckery to get around it. Still man did that piss me off. So many hurdles now between you and enjoying what you have.
	🦇 ♥ 5:32pm Julie: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:30 UGH how annoying is that
	5:32pm laurapanic: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:30 my teen buys CDs that can be from like, the 90s. Watching any of the old "enhanced features" on those CDs is really almost impossible.....
	5:33pm Uncle Monk: ↳ laurapanic @5:32 I hate all the built-in obsolescence we get in everything. But I'll check out that Lush doc and let you know how it was the next time we cross paths in the comments.
	5:34pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Julie @5:32 It made me feel very very old.
	🦇 ♥ 5:38pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Imitation" by "Holy Ship" Holy Ship! I like it!
	🦇 ♥ 5:39pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Yvang @5:38 reminiscent of the Verve, perhaps. liked here as well. :)
	5:40pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ laurapanic @5:32 If you have an optical drive on your computer, VLC player should be able to read most file formats on those extra features
	🦇 ♥ 5:41pm Yvang: ↳ chris in the redwoods @5:39 Yes the Verve besides their huge hit that we all know were good.
	5:43pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:40 Very thankful for VLC.
	5:46pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:33 I use an obsolete computer every day, namely a 2007 iMac. Because its internal speakers are surprisingly good, I listen to my internet radio with that. Most webpages are unavailable even if there’s some browsers designed for ancient OS X use. Online banking would be stupidly risky…
	🦇 ♥ 5:46pm chris in the redwoods: so much bloody talent in the Corsano family! much love their way. :)
	5:47pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Uncle Monk @5:43 Yes, me too!
	5:49pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @5:46 I used to keep a brick of a laptop that couldn't connect to the internet and basically use it as a typewriter and for file storage/viewing. I should get back to that practice. You don't miss much forced to keep it simple.
	5:52pm Uncle Monk: ↳ Song: "Springtime, Save Our Country" by "Mahogany" I like the big sound on this 'un.
	♥ 5:52pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Springtime, Save Our Country" by "Mahogany" I'm drenched in sound.

	6:02pm miles of middle texas: Uh oops. I'm all rudderless, I began being half retired. I should be working, but I started today planning another week long canoe journey. Working two days a week should be good. ✌️
	🦇 ♥ 6:02pm Julie: a WEEK? in a canoe?
	♥ 6:02pm James Douglas: ↳ Julie @6:01 Keith Emerson, David O'List, Brian Davison and Lee Jackson.
	6:04pm Uncle Monk: Gotta go from Cuddly Toys to Roachford - Cuddly Toy.
	🦇 ♥ 6:06pm Yvang: Why am I suddenly thinking about Lene Lovitch?
	🦇 ♥ 6:07pm Yvang: ↳ Yvang @6:06 Well she doesn't have 'Toy' in her name. anyway..
	🦇 ♥ 6:08pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Yvang @6:07 Surely "Toyah" would count for a "Toy" block, yes? 😉
	🦇 ♥ 6:10pm Julie: yeah but I didn't include her...several artists with some form of Toyah or Toya in their name actually
	🦇 ♥ 6:13pm Julie: lots of Toys in the 80s
	🦇 ♥ 6:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @6:13 Early '80s especially, it looks like!

	🦇 ♥ 6:24pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ chris in the redwoods @6:23 TGFT GTDR! 💖🤘
	🦇 ♥ 6:26pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Idle Gossip" by "Toy Dolls" "The Toy Dolls are an English punk rock band formed in 1979. They are best known for their sole UK hit, a punk-rock cover of "Nellie the Elephant". The Toy Dolls' songs expressed a sense of fun, such as "Yul Brynner Was a Skinhead", "My Girlfriend's Dad's a Vicar" and "James Bond Lives Down Our Street", and songs titles often use alliteration, such as "Peter Practice's Practice Place", "Fisticuffs in Frederick Street", "Neville Is a Nerd", and "Quick to Quit the Quentin"." en.wikipedia.org... Also considered to be "Oi!" and "Punk pathetique" genres.
	🦇 ♥ 6:29pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:26 Greasy Kid Stuff used to play James Bond...that's how I found out about them
