Night in Bangkok, and it is exactly that: he was in there for a tournament, a chess tournament. All this activity was going on in Bangkok, and he's just like, “I'm just here for a chess tournament, nothing else. Thank you very much.”

But hey, welcome to Mental Health Radio. You're on the Langdon Auger Show, so I appreciate you tuning in. We're here for two more nights after this one. Then next week we've got to take next week off because we're moving, changing to a secret location. Didn't kind of like the Batcave? No, just kidding. We're not sure how long the whole move is going to take, so we're just taking off next week. Then we'll see where the Langdon Auger Show goes from there. We're not sure if it's going to continue or not, but let's just go through this week and see where we end up. Let's start the music now. Thanks again for tuning in. Jethro Tull and “Teacher.”

That is, of course, Nick Gilder, formerly of Sweeney Todd, with “Hot Child in the City.” Before that, we had Mott the Hoople. They started back in 1966. They were originally known as the Doc Thompson Group, but they changed their name to Mott the Hoople when they signed with Island Records. They had so many great people in them: Ian Hunter, of course, and Mick Ronson. Ian Hunter had some amazing albums all on his own. “You're Never Alone with the Schizophrenic.” What a great album that is, if you ever get a chance to listen to that one.

But anyway, David Bowie's seen him play one, and he loved them. He wrote “All the Young Dudes” for them, probably their biggest hit. We started off that set with Jethro Tull and “Teacher.” How are you all doing, 12 minutes after 6? Thanks again for tuning in. We're here until 8 p.m. If you're listening in and you want to make a request, just go to the live chat and put your username in. Make sure you save it, then put the request in there. If I have it, I'll play it. That easy. If I don't have it, maybe try another one. If not, just sit back and listen in. Right now, “My Sharona.”

00:16:08

00:28:09

Of course, the J. Geils Band and “Love Stinks.” Before that, from the 1989 album Freedom, Neil Young and “Rockin' in the Free World.” We started off with the Knack and “My Sharona” from their debut album. That was such a big album, and they just kept going from there. How are y'all doing, 24 minutes after [unclear]? We're just playing all kinds of great music today. I hope you're enjoying the show. Like I said, if you want to hear a song, just come on down to the live chat. Make sure you enter it in there. If I got it, I will play it.

00:28:41

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

00:40:02

One of my all-time favorite Bob Dylan tunes, “Maggie's Farm.” Queen in before that was a song written by John Deacon, “I Want to Break Free.” Gordon Lightfoot started off that set with “Carefree Highway.” 25 minutes before 7, thanks again for everybody that tuned in. We're here until 8 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, of course, and we're just playing music. Obviously, if you want to hear something different, just put it in the live chat there, and if I got it, we most certainly will play it.

The soundtrack of my childhood. I mean, 1964 to 1971, they were all over the place. Songs galore. Of course, that is the Rolling Stones and “I Can't Get No Satisfaction.” David Bowie in before that from the Nothing Has Changed album, “Scary Monsters and Super Creeps.” He was Mr. Change, they called him the chameleon. Bon Jovi, of course, started off the set with “Wanted Dead or Alive.” We're about 10 minutes before our dance portion of the show, so hopefully you started hydrating. Hopefully you started stretching it out. You might need it today. Not saying yes or no, but you might, so it's best to be prepared. Just in case, trying to do something a little different here. I've got Radiohead coming up, and I've got Richard Cheese coming up. See if you can tell what it's all about.

01:05:32

1990 album, Shake Your Money Maker. That is, of course, the Black Crowes and “She Talks to Angels.” Before that we had Richard Cheese from the Lounge Against the Machine album. Of course, he did the Radiohead “Creep,” although it's a little different from Radiohead's version, I agree. Radiohead was in before that with “Paperback Writer.” Well, it's two minutes after 7, which means it's our dance portion of the show. I hope you got hydrated. I hope you stretched it out. I know Mike is doing a little exercise out in the backyard, so hopefully you're ready for the dance portion of the show. Because here it comes. [Recorded song lyrics omitted from the mixed segment.]

Mr. Vain. Speaking of Mr. Vain, Right Said Fred, and before that with “I'm Too Sexy.” The only thing I would add to that is, because today we're chair dancing, I'm too sexy for my chair. Yeah, that would be it. Tracy Chapman started off that set with “Talkin’ Bout a Revolution.” Twelve minutes after 7. Thanks for tuning in. We are going to continue playing some music, but if you want to hear anything, just put it in the old live chat room there. If I have it, I will play it. I believe Robin has been asking me for this song for a while, and I finally found it. I think this is the one, Robin. Let me know. [Recorded song lyrics omitted from the mixed segment.]

01:16:40

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

01:25:56

From the album Introducing the Hardline, according to Terence Trent D’Arby. That is “Wishing Well.” In before that, Jeannie C. Riley with “Harper Valley PTA,” and Barbara Fairchild and “The Teddy Bear Song.” How are you all doing? We've got just a little over a half hour to go. Still got great music coming your way, so here we are with another one.

Opera singer moved to rock and roll. Of course, that is Pat Benatar and “Love Is a Battlefield.” Lobo in before that with “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo.” We started off with Chicago, “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” I do. It's nine, uh, 7:32, and we're almost at the end of our show. We only have a few minutes left to do a bunch of songs, so we're gonna get right to them. It's not quite “Tuesday Afternoon,” but it's close enough.

01:36:51

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

01:50:00

Album No Exit. Of course, that's Blondie live, and Deborah Harry's still got the voice. And that is “Call Me.” Talk Talk in before that with “It's My Life.” The Moody Blues started off that set with “Tuesday Afternoon,” forever afternoon. We've got about 15 minutes left in the show, so we've got at least one more set of music to go. Don't forget that we'd like to end the show with a nice long song, and we're gonna do that, a Canadian. But first, this set of music.

01:50:29

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

02:00:07

A whole bunch of fun there from the Kinks, “Dedicated Follower of Fashion.” Blood, Sweat & Tears in before that with “Lucretia MacEvil.” We started off with Roxy Music and “Love Is the Drug.” [Unclear] thanks everybody for tuning in. We do this show again tomorrow night, starting at 6 p.m. till 8 p.m. I want to wish you a happy mental health day. What we've been doing recently is ending the show with a long song. The only, the only thing we have is, has to be at least eight minutes long. That's it. So, decided to end the show tonight with a great Canadian vocalist. She's amazing. Love her very much. So here it is, Sarah McLachlan, “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.” Have a good night, everybody.
