🎸3:02pm
Herb:Hi guys - Left channel out and low volume
3:04pm
Cheree July:Not sure who's streaming this because Don is still in TX & we're not live in studio🤔
3:05pm
Kitten Sparkles:Yeah I know. Weird. Not sure what’s up w that.
3:05pm
Debbie Davenport:Babs said she was overseeing the streaming process.
3:06pm
Kitten Sparkles:Hopefully that problem will resolve.
3:07pm
Cheree July:I just saw that earlier in the chat after I commented. Good to hear Underdog by Giorgio again tho!
3:08pm
Cheree July:Yea, me & Don ain't sure what up with that.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️
3:09pm
Kitten Sparkles:Left channel seems a bit distorted.
3:10pm
Cheree July:Yeah, it's kinda crackly.
3:10pm
DJ Babs:Yeah, I'm seeing it here on my mixer and the left channel on the recordin is 1/4 lower than right...not sure that's something I can fix on my end. Let me see if I can twiddle things a bit here.
3:11pm
Kitten Sparkles:This song is probably not the best to check distortion levels. That guitar! So cool.
3:11pm
Debbie Davenport:feels more even right now
3:11pm
DJ Babs:yes, I was gonna say this is a bit of a fuzzbomb to begin with lol
3:12pm
DJ Babs:k good news I think we are seeing better balance between L and R now on the mixer.
3:12pm
Cheree July:YESSS! Action by The Sweet!🤘
3:12pm
Debbie Davenport:Sounds like it here. Thanks Babs.
3:13pm
DJ Babs:no problemoooo!
3:13pm
Kitten Sparkles:Sounds a bit better now, yes?
3:14pm
Kitten Sparkles:Thus song is easier to gauge that stuff during.
3:14pm
Cheree July:Too bad Solid Gold dancers weren't a thing yet when the Sweet recorded this. This would've been ideal for them to dance to💃
🎸3:15pm
Herb:👌👌👌
3:16pm
DJ Babs:

↳Cheree July @3:14

They would have made it work...that's the power of the solid gold dancers LOL
🎸3:17pm
Herb:

↳Song:"I Can Do It" by "Rubettes"

Sounds great!
3:17pm
Debbie Davenport:

↳Cheree July @3:14

My friend's big sister was a Solid Gold dancer. That's where I learned I could stick my finger down my throat to help with weight loss. That gal was super skinny yet she still was on the edge of being too heavy for tv.
3:18pm
Cheree July:The closest thing the 70s had was Ballet Zoom, I guess?
3:19pm
Kitten Sparkles:Yeah, my DJ mixer has seen better days - it was only $25: tho
3:19pm
Cheree July:Whoa, that's pretty messed up & sad to hear Debbie.
3:19pm
Debbie Davenport:

↳Cheree July @3:19

It seemed common. we used to do it at home and at church potlucks.
3:19pm
Cheree July:Ya get what you pay for, Don.
3:20pm
Kitten Sparkles:Sometimes.
3:20pm
Cheree July:Oh dear god, Debbie.
3:22pm
Debbie Davenport:I can only guess how much pressure people in movies and television encounter. At least they don't do potato clauses anymore. Or perhaps they still do it but in a nicer way. I had a roommate who was a model for Sebastian hair products. she wasn't allowed to cut her hair while under contract.
3:25pm
Debbie Davenport:

↳Song:"Anna Laura Lee" by "Yellow Taxi"

What an enjoyable song intro.
3:25pm
Cheree July:Weird😵‍💫
3:29pm
Cheree July:I wonder if Taxi was singing Anna Laura Lee as a bubblegum/popsych double entendre for amphetamine aka meth?😵‍💫🤯🫨
3:32pm
Debbie Davenport:Do people call it that? I didn't know. I always just said speed.
The song does have a nice zoomy feel to it.
3:34pm
Debbie Davenport:You're right Don. It is interesting.
3:44pm
Debbie Davenport:Ha! "Solid Gold!" like our conversation Cheree.
3:45pm
Debbie Davenport:I've wanted this Angelo and 18 record for a long time. I don't find it.
3:54pm
Cheree July:Showed Don the video about how the arranger behind The Rah Band came up with this song. It's actually just wah wah pedals & guitar!
3:55pm
Debbie Davenport:

↳Cheree July @3:54

That is simpler than it sounds.
4:09pm
Debbie Davenport:Hooray for Just Add Water!
4:22pm
DJ Babs:sounding greak Kspark!!!
4:23pm
Mr. Oxford:

↳Song:"I Got a Right" by "Iggy Pop"

I love that "I Got A Right" is the Stooges song that's played on the show.
🎸4:25pm
Herb:

↳Song:"I Got a Right" by "Iggy Pop"

www.imdb.com...
4:28pm
Mr. Oxford:

↳Song:"Pogo Dancing" by "Chris Spedding"

Wait a minute, is this the UK band The Vibrators with the Pure Mania album with songs like "Baby, Baby"?
4:34pm
Kitten Sparkles:Did spunky spider play? If so I missed it.
4:36pm
Mr. Oxford:

↳Kitten Sparkles @4:34

It's playing right now, Don.
4:40pm
Debbie Davenport:

↳Song:"You Won’t Come" by "Spunky Spider"

Spunky Spider that is another one I've been wanting for years but never see it for sale.
4:43pm
Debbie Davenport:

↳Song:"You Won’t Come" by "Spunky Spider"

f*ck it! If I still have to keep waiting for the vinyl, I will get a placeholder. Electric Asylum CD.
4:52pm
Kitten Sparkles:I’m working rn, so it’s tough to keep on it.
4:52pm
Mr. Oxford:

↳Song:"That’s the Way a Woman Is" by "The Messengers"

I love how this song was big in Japan. I have heard at least two Japanese acts do a cover of this song.
4:55pm
Debbie Davenport:

↳Mr. Oxford @4:52

I remember reading it was in a Japanese commercial or something.
4:56pm
Debbie Davenport:I think that helps bands. I found out about Free Design that way. They were like in a zillow ad on tv. It's cheesy accapella music, but that Love You song is so good!
4:57pm
Mr. Oxford:

↳Debbie Davenport @4:55

That's interesting. I am going to see if I can find the commercial online.

Here is a Japanese cover by The Chirps: www.youtube.com...

4:59pm
Debbie Davenport:

↳Mr. Oxford @4:57

I might be remembering it wrong. I do remember thinking, oh wow. they were popular over there. after reading it.
5:00pm
Debbie Davenport:wikipedia probably clarifies it.
5:00pm
Mr. Oxford:

↳Debbie Davenport @4:59

Well either way, it was definitely big in Japan. Not sure if I can trust Wikipedia fully though as it can be inaccurate sometimes :)
5:01pm
Debbie Davenport:

↳Mr. Oxford @5:00

I should be careful when I do hashtags for instagram from there!
5:01pm
Kitten Sparkles:Thanks Babs, for streaming! And thanks all of youse for glistening!
5:02pm
Kitten Sparkles:Should be back for next Saturday.
5:02pm
Debbie Davenport:Thanks Don, Babs and the whole bunch of you here.
🎸5:02pm
Herb:Thank YOOZ!!!!
