	12:11pm ww: Music to shred wallpaper off the walls. Nice.
	12:11pm dano59: Cowslingers
	12:12pm David (in London): Hey TDK. Wilco was from Canvey Island, which is a wonderful and idiosyncratic place, featuring a massive oil refinery, off the coast of Essex. There's a great moment in the documentary about the band, Oil City Confidential, where he says, "When I grew up I really loved the blues and I always wanted to live in a shack on the Delta. Then, one day, I looked around and realised, Hey I DO live in a shack on Delta!"
	12:12pm Dan Eletxro: I come in search of an elusive third chord!
	12:13pm Joe B: Wasn't sure how much of rawhide made it over the air. Transitional number between studios
	12:13pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Happy Monday Joe! TOPT is doing calesthenics to your show!
	12:14pm Joe B: That rawhide was by the pastels
	12:16pm mariano: Hey Joe B, Crew, folks. 'Afternoon, David. And here I was thinking that Wilco were from Chicago.. ;)
	12:16pm Mister Dobalina: ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡
	12:16pm Phillippe Bastille: I was pretty bombed the first time I heard Pearl Harbor and the Explosions
	👻 12:16pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello Joe and fellow listeners!
	12:17pm poptone: Joe thank you for the Pearl Harbor track. she should have been a major star! SO great!
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! ...barely enuff WiFis to steal to either listen or comment - no so much both (an ideal arrangement in the minds of some no doubt...) But Thanks for Bringin' It !
	12:18pm mariano: Hey there, Phillippe. One of my friends has a Dec. 7 birthday, and by tradition she always has sushi for her birthday dinner.
	12:18pm Dan Eletxro: Pearl Harbor! More college flashbacks!
	12:18pm Hubig Pie: Lock like the pad

	12:20pm Mister Dobalina: *Pie
	12:22pm Hubig Pie: G'day HH
	👻 12:24pm John L: Hey Joe! Really enjoyed the Almost Famous segment this morning. I do dig a few Madonna songs, but I really liked that Emmy tune.
	12:25pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, good call John L. -- that was a fun one, Joe! Oof, good luck, Phillippe.
	12:26pm Joe B: Glad you dug that one. Not sure how many more i can come up with!
	12:27pm Jeezuseffinchrist: I'm gonna go on record and say now that Milk N Cookies is probably the thirstiest band I've heard in a while
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Thanks all the Joes! And all the Skeleteam!
	12:29pm Mister Dobalina: JOe B..being JOe B... kinda cool.
	12:31pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Had a feeling the Milk & Cookies rock block was an omen. RIP
	12:33pm dave wuz here: my pal john saw milk and cookies open for the dolls back before electricity. always been jealous of that one
	12:33pm Bryan Dilsizian: Live from Three Chord Monte Hall
	12:34pm HyperDose: Joe Beeeelock!
	12:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Nice start Joe! Can't wait to ruin your show next week!
	12:36pm Carmichael: I saw Pearl Harbor in San Francisco in the 80s.
	12:36pm David (in London): Mariano, Phillippe, hello you pair of old devils.
	12:36pm John in Phoenixville: Joe, you don’t need to rip anyone off (as cool as your influences are). You’re the coolest!
	12:36pm bigplanetnoise: Hey JB and all Three-Chorders!
	12:38pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @bigplanetnoise: Less than 9 hours until Big Planet Noise!

	12:41pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This has the rock AND the roll.
	12:43pm bigplanetnoise: Hey Todd - that’s right!! Looking forward to it, as always!
	12:43pm Carl from Providence: Hey JB and all the three chord fans...I was over at Eric's house from the Atlantic Thrills the other day, if you could fit them in today, that would be hella cool
	12:43pm Dennis Diken: go, Joe!
	12:46pm Joe B: You got it carl
	12:46pm Carl from Providence: It wasn't a party, some stuff was delivered to my house around the block and I dropped it off I swear the amazon dudes don't read the address on the box
	12:47pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Joe! Tuning in! Bummed I missed Pearl Harbor. She's one fantastic lady! Love her!
	12:52pm Leslie Day: Helloooo Joe....the show is helping me gettin my chores done! Thx
	12:53pm Son Of Pantz: What I wouldn't give to see a live show with someone like Bob Mould blasting my face off.
	12:54pm Son Of Pantz: I miss those live show.
	12:54pm Leslie Day: Ditto!
	👻 12:55pm Mike From Brooklyn: Don't we all! We will again soon!
	12:56pm Joe B: Yeah yesterday was one year exactly to last show i saw - tom clark/wire troop/cliff westfall at Berlin
	12:57pm Joe B: Thanks everyone for tuning in/checking in
	12:58pm jimbrux: Great set, Joe... every one a winner!
	12:58pm David (in London): Turn on, tune in, wig out.
	12:58pm Chop Scott: Sounding great Joe!
	👻 12:59pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and everyone!
	1:00pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Wow, this Hutch track is great!
	👻 1:00pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Joe, Michele, Dennis, HP Ken, Handy, TOPT, Cheryl, Mariano, all. First time I've noticed the "new" To Songs/To Comments format on your playlist so belated congrats on that!!
	1:00pm Tim from LH: Ha Joe, my last live show was at Berlin also. The Figgs on Leap Year Day.
	👻 1:00pm tim from champaign (now washington): Todd-O-Phonic - I caught the Danny Kroha interview in the archives. That was an excellent interview!
	1:01pm BobbyO: Love those juicy power pop chords !
	1:01pm mariano: Hello, David, Hoboken Jack.
	👻 1:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: 'Lo, Jack!
	1:04pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Tim!
	1:04pm poptone: Hutch features Jersey boy, Joe Normal. check him out here: https://joenormalusa.com/bio-band
	1:05pm David (in London): David Soul had a string of number one records. Certainly here in the UK anyway. 'Silver Lady' is ripe for an imaginative cover version...
	1:06pm Handy Haversack: Hey, tim, Jack! Last show we saw was at Monty Hall! Stashu's Polka Party on 3/13/20. Sigh. We're gonna mark that anniversary by taking food to feed a Skeleton Army to WFMU for Marathon!
	1:07pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Hutch!
	1:07pm poptone: and Joe Normal was also in the '80s glam pop/metal band the zeros, not the punk zeros: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zeros_(American_glam_punk_band)
	👻 1:07pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Handy!
	1:07pm Joe B: Thanks poptone
	1:08pm Joe B: @handy - oh yeah, i was at that.
	👻 1:09pm Artie17: Hey Joe! It's 4-1-5 records. 415 being the area code for SF. Howie used to have a radio show on KUSF back in the day.
	1:09pm Joe B: Yes but the song says 415 music!
	1:09pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Willie Nile! First record is killer.
	1:10pm Handy Haversack: Joe -- I thought I remembered chatting with you at the Polka Party! I definitely met Jack there, too.
	👻 1:12pm John L: Wow. This Willie Nile album was a constant back then. Sometimes you get rid of stuff and never give it another thought. Now I feel like I need to track this down again.
	1:14pm Cyndy rot: Love your show! How bout some Three oclock, Camper van Beetoven or Love's version of that Stranglers song, Alone again or? Tanks
	👻 1:19pm John L: Everytime I hear something from this Kiwi Jr record I check the playlist. Time to put another item in my Bandcamp cart. This Friday is Bandcamp Friday!!!
	👻 1:21pm Hoboken Jack: Last live band I saw pre-lockdown was the Porchistas at Monty (the night I met Handy and Kate). The last live-music only show I attended was Anderson Council, 3/7 at Pino's, Highland Park. Last music-only show with paid entry was earlier that night: Joy Cleaner, Shut Up, Toads at In the West. Earlier that same day I fronted Yo La Tengo but that's another story for another time.
	👻 1:22pm Hoboken Jack: Same here, John L, and I bought the album this week!
	👻 1:22pm tim from champaign (now washington): I'm quite taken by this Matthew Sweet. It has a strong Richard Thompson/Bob Mould vibe.
	1:24pm johnk77: david soul had a great road band andy kulberg, amanda mcbroom & others in a bay-area-related comment pearl harbor, svt, romeo void were bands that did not reach their full potential
	1:24pm Stevel: Its pretty clear that I'm gonna break down and get the Richard Hell reissue. It will certainly satisfy the production-nerd part of me.
	1:25pm Stevel: Hey Jack!
	👻 1:26pm tim from champaign (now washington): I'm with you Stevel.
	1:27pm Handy Haversack: Jack, I maintain that your vocals on "Werewolves" are the definitive cover version! Our last full-on show was Weeping Icon and Control Top at Union Pool on 3/6/20. We skipped out on Murder Capital on 3/12. Mariano, did you see the Tamar Berk album title?
	1:27pm Threemoons: Heyo. Was up too late last night backing up my massive Thunderbird mail files. Diving in on this gloomy Monday.
	1:27pm Don F.: Love the Richard Hell cut. Welcome back to JC, Joe B.
	1:27pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Joe and all other listeners!
	1:28pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Jack.
	1:29pm David (in London): I passed my one year gig anniversary the other day on 23 February. Saw These New Puritans at The Barbican here in London. Man, that feels so long ago it's like it happened in the Cretaceous Period.
	1:30pm TDK60: I can't even recall shows.
	👻 1:31pm tim from champaign (now washington): This GBV track kicks ass! My last gig was Casual Hex and Space Lady at Jankuland records in Tacoma, WA.
	👻 1:32pm John L: Whenever I see the Midnight Steppers album title I think "Isolation Drills," so playing GBV afterwards makes a scrambled kind of sense.
	👻 1:34pm tim from champaign (now washington): Let it grow, Joe!
	1:35pm Miss Georgia Peach: Hi Joe!!
	👻 1:35pm Hackensack Slim: Hey Joe, Stay Shaggy for the Marathon. Sorta like a Playoff Beard.
	👻 1:36pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Andrew!
	1:36pm iiibeat: Hair locks went down too . . Sounds like . . Again.
	👻 1:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: If WFMU can still access the parking lot in back, there should be a chair & scissors there during the marathon so the DJs can get their needed haircuts. 💇🏼
	1:38pm Handy Haversack: Maybe that can be a prize, Ken. Pledge $100 to give a DJ a haircut.
	1:38pm efd: "The 'Please Kill Me' of hair metal" is a money quote! Thanks for the plug, Joe!
	1:39pm iiibeat: I found a super cryptic phrase about hair and the dead . . From Leviticus, apparently. I will post it if I can find it . . Again.
	1:39pm Joe B: parking lot is gone
	1:39pm Andrew in Toronto: Jack, let`s do this up, up, up!!!
	1:40pm Joe B: efd thanks for having them on! i am living vicariously through your guests!
	👻 1:40pm tim from champaign (now washington): Better than the original!
	1:40pm Tim from LH: Whenever I visit Monty Hall I park in the free lot by Zeppelin Beer Garden and hoof it.
	1:41pm p/b: The Donnas are exactly what i need right now
	1:41pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Tim from LH, take the light rail!
	1:42pm Tim from LH: Jumpy- I’ve done that too!
	1:42pm Joe B: public transport in a pandemic? pass
	1:42pm Joe B: tim, that lot is gone, i believe
	1:43pm Handy Haversack: The Donnas would be a good Artist of the Week for WAB.
	1:44pm Joe B: they are the artist of every week here!
	👻 1:44pm tim from champaign (now washington): (said in schlocky announcer voice) "Joe Belock gets dangerous....IN THE METAL DISTRICT!"
	1:44pm n8th3gr8: i gotta admit those first 2 motley crue records do have some (guilty?) pleasures on them
	1:45pm Joe B: all their records have a few good cuts
	1:45pm efd: can confirm there will be Quiet Riot discussion on Wednesday night!
	1:45pm Handy Haversack: <vyv>VERY METAL</vyv>
	1:45pm DG: Saw the Donnas on this Blondie/Pat Benatar tour about 10 years ago, at one of those free Coney Island shows. They're like the Runaways with better songwriting...but I think they've broken up, no?
	1:45pm Joe B: quiet riot are the strokes of hair metal - good songs, good guitar, dogshit singer
	1:45pm efd: Joe, even your first song of the show has a Motley Crue tie-in!
	1:46pm Son Of Pantz: @efd any delving into Christian Metal, like Stryper?
	1:46pm goyim in the am: Ah, Kevin DuBrow, the cokiest cokehead who ever coked.
	1:47pm efd: There is a lot about Stryper in the book, but they didn't come up in the interview (full disclosure: I taped the interview on Saturday)
	1:47pm medson: Joe B. Get your spandex ready for Evan’s show
	1:48pm Mister Dobalina: Nice song.
	1:48pm mariano: Hah! Haven't herd this Jerks number in years.
	1:48pm Blix: Does anyone know who came up with the "head banger" term?
	1:48pm TDK60: The WFMU parking lot is gone? (What is it now?) Where am I gonna go meditate for a moment during Monty Hall shows? The post office stoop?
	1:49pm Hubig Pie: Q. Where the hell is Bill? A. He went to go see the Circle Jerks
	1:50pm Stevel: "Gooo, screwwwww, yourselllllff!"
	1:50pm Josh Allen: en.wikipedia.org...
	👻 1:50pm tim from champaign (now washington): When I was 14 I bought a cassette of TSOL's Revenge from Believe in Music. I was so bummed when I put it on because Stryper had been duped on it. So gross.
	1:50pm royvis: I believe the parking lot was sold to pay bills, at least a year ago.
	1:50pm Rich in Washington: I need to check out Wonderful again. I remember 1985 being a year for what I thought at the time as being really lackluster Punk records, but upon listening to some of them today, they don't sound quite as bad as I remember.
	1:50pm Mister Dobalina: HeadBangers Ball was a good show.
	1:50pm David (in London): If only there was a song with a title like, say, 'Heavy Metal'...
	👻 1:51pm tim from champaign (now washington): I actually saw Duff McKagan in 2019 with the Shooter Jennings Band backing him. It was actually pretty good.
	1:52pm Joe B: 85 better than 77 in my opinion
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: I can't believe Kate's missing this set for a work call! Def Leppard is one of her karaoke standards, but she does Crue plenty. And there's an Ozzy/Lita Ford duet that she sings whenever she can find a Lita! When she read The Dirt, she really would not put it down. I'd turn around and she'd have it out at dinner, around the camp fire ...
	1:53pm David (in London): You need to support her metal health, Handy.
	1:53pm Rich in Washington: I think in retrospect it was more me branching out from Punk after a couple of years of listening to nothing but than the actual quality of the music coming out.
	1:54pm Robbie Darling: You just know Axl is singing when you hear it.
	1:54pm Hubig Pie: Luvs this lounge-y cover
	1:54pm Yes: awww yeah
	1:54pm Rich in Washington: I also remember how new and fresh G&R's debut album seemed at the time.
	1:55pm iiibeat: Thou shall not make a baldness between your eyes for the dead. Leviticus demands unibrow for mourning.
	1:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Appetite is a fun album. But man, I can never forgive him for that awful cover of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"....hey, heyyyyy, heyyyyyyy! Gross.
	1:55pm Candy-O'67: I remember that, too, about G&R, Rich
	1:55pm Mister Dobalina: Feelin's...
	1:55pm Joe B: exactly rich! it was as big a rush as first hearing mudhoney
	👻 1:56pm tim from champaign (now washington): I still don't understand why Redd Kross wasn't HUGE! They did hard rock pop way better than the hair metalheads and "grunge" way better than Nirvana.
	1:56pm Joe B: spot on woods
	👻 1:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: <commencing slow motion headbanging; aka, nodding>
	1:56pm Candy-O'67: I saw Circle Jerks back in probably about '87, '88, somewhere in there at Power Tools in Houston.
	1:57pm David (in London): Yeah, I was deep in an 'if it isn't Swans I don't want to know about it' phrase in '87, but even I could hear the G&R were putting something new on the table.
	1:57pm JG: There is an amazing version of this by some little kids in th Philippines. Acoustic and boxes for drums. Rockin. I will try to find and post here from Youtube
	1:57pm Joe B: CJ's untouchable in those years. one of the best ever
	1:57pm Hubig Pie: .... but they left off the"where do we go" coda
	1:57pm MonicaC: Hi all. Monica C from AC (but in JC at the moment) tuning in.
	1:57pm Handy Haversack: I was in seventh grade when Appetite came out, and it was pretty huge as a gateway album to much weirder places than I had known before then. Word, Woods.
	👻 1:57pm John L: I saw Luna for this tour, at Maxwells. Don't think they did this that night, though
	👻 1:58pm Mike From Brooklyn: This song always makes me think if this non-radio-safe song from New Zealand's The DoubleHappys "I don't wanna see you again" www.youtube.com...
	👻 1:58pm Hoboken Jack: Tom will also have a free virtual book launch through Hoboken's Little City Books on 3/16. Sure, James Mastro is no EFD, but it will be fun to compare and contrast interviewing styles! www.littlecitybooks.com...
	1:58pm Yes: awww yeaahhh
	1:59pm Mike Sin: Jumpin' in now to say I very much enjoyed that new Matthew Sweet track!
	1:59pm Hubig Pie: This makes me think of Dave Chappelle
	1:59pm JG: This: Cannot see any other version holding a candle to This www.youtube.com...
	2:00pm Yes: lol hugpig
	2:00pm JG: When the kid on lead guitar w the glasses , gets his head banging on, it really takes flight
	2:00pm kev: this is pretty sick
	2:00pm Mister Dobalina: Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way.
	2:00pm pgalub: Hey Joe and everyone! I'm enjoying this detour into... THE METAL DISTRICT! 🎸🔥
	2:04pm Spankyflop: Someone once told me that Sebastian Bach's favorite band was the Cramps.
	👻 2:04pm tim from champaign (now washington): Did anyone hear Duane's Sebastian Bach story that he told during the Marathon some years back?
	👻 2:05pm Hoboken Jack: PETE!!!!!!!!
	2:05pm PeterD: I never liked Skid Row, but I'll admit I thought that was a good cover. Not as good as the Shonen Knife version, but still good. :)
	2:06pm pgalub: JAAACK!!
	2:07pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Marillion's B'Sides Themselves came out way before Skid Row's b-sides collection! No fair!
	2:08pm JG: The best GnR song is You Could Be Mine.
	2:09pm JG: The Best Crue song is Too Young to Fall In Love
	👻 2:09pm tim from champaign (now washington): Marillion? No, Handy no!
	2:11pm David (in London): Too late, Tim, he's unleashed the beast from South Buckinghamshire!
	2:11pm Handy Haversack: The heart wants what it wants, tim! And it wants "Grendel"!
	2:11pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Joe B-sides...
	2:12pm n8th3gr8: @JG You are correct! love that song
	2:12pm n8th3gr8: Too Young to Fall in Love, that is
	2:12pm Bryan Dilsizian: Jamie Lyons forever!!
	2:13pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Sounds a lot like "Agnes English"...
	2:15pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Oops, I meant "Up and Down"! That the other side of the John Fred album...
	2:17pm johnk77: music explosion straight out of mansfield, ohio jamie was from galion
	2:18pm Candy-O'67: Diggin' this British Walkers
	👻 2:18pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Handy and DiL - To be fair, it's probably been about 30 years since I last listened. Time to revisit?
	2:19pm Robbie Darling: Is this Mersey Beat?
	2:19pm Bryan Dilsizian: @johnk77 I knew Jamie well. His daughter is a dear friend of mine. She owned a punk clothing store in Cincinnati
	2:21pm Joe B: @robbie - merseybeat via twin cities!
	2:21pm Joe B: very cool bryan!
	2:21pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Tim from champaign!
	2:22pm dave wuz here: great on both sides
	👻 2:22pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Candy! How's it going?
	👻 2:23pm tim from champaign (now washington): This Leaves song is so good they had to press it on both sides.
	👻 2:23pm Hughie Considine: First encountered this Leaves song on a comp called 'Join the Fan Club" -- stocked with all kinds of lovely obscurities. That was when a good CD comp could blow your mind.
	2:24pm Robbie Darling: Yeah I like the reverse influence @Joe B.
	2:24pm StringOFperils: AT least it takes twice as long to wear this out.
	2:25pm Robbie Darling: I think American merseybeat, was an attempt to fill the void The Kinks left after they were banned in the States.
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: Well, small doses, tim, I'd say. It was a foundational band for me, and I have strong sentimental attachment. But there are good songs in the catalogue. "Grendel," "Fugazi," He Knows You Know," "Freaks," "Tux On," "Margaret," and chunks of /Misplaced Childhood/. Fish and Lemmy were pals!
	2:25pm Candy-O'67: Going good, Tim! I agree about this Leaves song. Best harmonica!
	2:26pm Don F.: Beck-o-lah!
	👻 2:26pm Hughie Considine: I think we can all agree that Jeff Beck is that rare classic rocker who can still wear a tank top.
	2:29pm johnk77: @bryand i did not know any of the musicians very well but i did grow up in mansfield and saw music explosion,sir timothy & the royals, ohio express etc. live in the late sixties
	2:29pm David (in London): Handy, they were from near where I grew up, so obviously in the local towns they were big news. Coming so hot on the heels of Howard Jones (another local boy made good), it was musical boom time!
	👻 2:29pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Handy - Believe it or not, Marillion was huge in the 80s in Grand Rapids, MI thanks to the AOR station WLAV. That was my exposure. I did have one of their albums on tape. I only remember the lyrics "Read some Kerouac/to put you back on track"
	2:29pm dave wuz here: blue cheer is heavier than your mom
	👻 2:30pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Dave - you've never seen my mom. Hey-yoooooooo!
	2:30pm StringOFperils: The nice just got nicer.
	👻 2:30pm Hughie Considine: Is this one of the first major flanger moments in pop? I feel like Miss Toni Fisher's "The Big Hurt" might have been the first.
	👻 2:31pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Phew whatta busy Monday! Checking in Joe and I'm happy to hear the Small Faces :-)
	2:31pm David (in London): I interviewed Leigh Stephens from Blue Cheer once, and it was like trying to get blood out of a stone. A stone that had exsanguinated. And then thrown itself to the bottom of the river bed.
	2:31pm Tim from LH: Sometimes you just want to hear the hits!
	2:32pm p/b: ok TMI but i'm in this f'd up family deal now and in running around yesterday i spent 2 hours in the woods on the CT/RI border yesterday and this was the song in my head
	👻 2:33pm tim from champaign (now washington): @DiL - that sounds like a tough task.
	2:37pm Yes: excellent dennis coffey
	2:37pm David (in London): Tim. It was horrible. Luckily Eric, who founded the band and later became the manager, was as loquacious and forthcoming as Stephens was tight-lipped. And man, Eric had some stories. Blue Cheer and The MC5 in a Mexican stand-off and coming close to an all-out backstage brawl! Oh to have been a fly on the wall that night.
	👻 2:37pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe - thanks for flipping the set over this week!
	2:40pm Bryan Dilsizian: @johnk77 that’s so awesome! All of that was before my time! But did get a good story about the first time the Ramones played in Columbus, and they were more excited to meet Jamie than they were to play the show!
	2:40pm Joe B: this is a lot worse than i remember
	2:41pm dave wuz here: boom! boom!
	2:42pm Son Of Pantz: This is Sha Na Na bad.

	2:43pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Itchychoo Park* cool record for us back in the day *

	👻 2:50pm Hoboken Jack: Another winner from Mr. Beach!
	👻 2:51pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Jeff!
	👻 2:52pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Hiya Hoboken Jack :-)

	2:59pm Daybreak & The Dark Dreams: If you’re doing your taxes and you make less than $60,000 you should be able to do it for free. Here is the link to TurboTax sucks ass: https://www.turbotaxsucksass.com Created by Hasan Minhaj Who is very angry about how much the taxing program was stealing from the American public with shiny fanciness.

Upcoming events:

Mon. Nov 25th, Noon - 3pm: Weegee (More info...)
Weegee emerged from the trash-rock gutter at their own pace, the slow burn of their bone-rattling riffs mirroring the band's arrival onto New York stages. Their 2023 self-released cassette '"Primitive Thrill" has been remixed and given a proper vinyl release on Dot Dash Sounds. To celebrate, the band returns to WFMU one year after blowing minds on the Spin-Age Blasters program.

	12:12pm David (in London): Hey TDK. Wilco was from Canvey Island, which is a wonderful and idiosyncratic place, featuring a massive oil refinery, off the coast of Essex. There's a great moment in the documentary about the band, Oil City Confidential, where he says, "When I grew up I really loved the blues and I always wanted to live in a shack on the Delta.

	12:26pm Joe B: Glad you dug that one. Not sure how many more i can come up with!

	1:05pm David (in London): David Soul had a string of number one records. Certainly here in the UK anyway. 'Silver Lady' is ripe for an imaginative cover version...
	1:06pm Handy Haversack: Hey, tim, Jack! Last show we saw was at Monty Hall! Stashu's Polka Party on 3/13/20. Sigh. We're gonna mark that anniversary by taking food to feed a Skeleton Army to WFMU for Marathon!
	1:07pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Hutch!
	1:07pm poptone: and Joe Normal was also in the '80s glam pop/metal band the zeros, not the punk zeros: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zeros_(American_glam_punk_band)
	👻 1:07pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Handy!
	1:07pm Joe B: Thanks poptone
	1:08pm Joe B: @handy - oh yeah, i was at that.
	👻 1:09pm Artie17: Hey Joe! It's 4-1-5 records. 415 being the area code for SF. Howie used to have a radio show on KUSF back in the day.
	1:09pm Joe B: Yes but the song says 415 music!
	1:09pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Willie Nile! First record is killer.
	1:10pm Handy Haversack: Joe -- I thought I remembered chatting with you at the Polka Party! I definitely met Jack there, too.
	👻 1:12pm John L: Wow. This Willie Nile album was a constant back then. Sometimes you get rid of stuff and never give it another thought. Now I feel like I need to track this down again.
	1:14pm Cyndy rot: Love your show! How bout some Three oclock, Camper van Beetoven or Love's version of that Stranglers song, Alone again or? Tanks
	👻 1:19pm John L: Everytime I hear something from this Kiwi Jr record I check the playlist. Time to put another item in my Bandcamp cart. This Friday is Bandcamp Friday!!!
	👻 1:21pm Hoboken Jack: Last live band I saw pre-lockdown was the Porchistas at Monty (the night I met Handy and Kate). The last live-music only show I attended was Anderson Council, 3/7 at Pino's, Highland Park. Last music-only show with paid entry was earlier that night: Joy Cleaner, Shut Up, Toads at In the West. Earlier that same day I fronted Yo La Tengo but that's another story for another time.
	👻 1:22pm Hoboken Jack: Same here, John L, and I bought the album this week!
	👻 1:22pm tim from champaign (now washington): I'm quite taken by this Matthew Sweet. It has a strong Richard Thompson/Bob Mould vibe.
	1:24pm johnk77: david soul had a great road band andy kulberg, amanda mcbroom & others in a bay-area-related comment pearl harbor, svt, romeo void were bands that did not reach their full potential
	1:24pm Stevel: Its pretty clear that I'm gonna break down and get the Richard Hell reissue. It will certainly satisfy the production-nerd part of me.
	1:25pm Stevel: Hey Jack!
	👻 1:26pm tim from champaign (now washington): I'm with you Stevel.
	1:27pm Handy Haversack: Jack, I maintain that your vocals on "Werewolves" are the definitive cover version! Our last full-on show was Weeping Icon and Control Top at Union Pool on 3/6/20. We skipped out on Murder Capital on 3/12. Mariano, did you see the Tamar Berk album title?
	1:27pm Threemoons: Heyo. Was up too late last night backing up my massive Thunderbird mail files. Diving in on this gloomy Monday.
	1:27pm Don F.: Love the Richard Hell cut. Welcome back to JC, Joe B.
	1:27pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Joe and all other listeners!
	1:28pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Jack.
	1:29pm David (in London): I passed my one year gig anniversary the other day on 23 February. Saw These New Puritans at The Barbican here in London. Man, that feels so long ago it's like it happened in the Cretaceous Period.
	1:30pm TDK60: I can't even recall shows.
	👻 1:31pm tim from champaign (now washington): This GBV track kicks ass! My last gig was Casual Hex and Space Lady at Jankuland records in Tacoma, WA.
	👻 1:32pm John L: Whenever I see the Midnight Steppers album title I think "Isolation Drills," so playing GBV afterwards makes a scrambled kind of sense.
	👻 1:34pm tim from champaign (now washington): Let it grow, Joe!
	1:35pm Miss Georgia Peach: Hi Joe!!
	👻 1:35pm Hackensack Slim: Hey Joe, Stay Shaggy for the Marathon. Sorta like a Playoff Beard.
	👻 1:36pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Andrew!
	1:36pm iiibeat: Hair locks went down too . . Sounds like . . Again.
	👻 1:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: If WFMU can still access the parking lot in back, there should be a chair & scissors there during the marathon so the DJs can get their needed haircuts. 💇🏼
	1:38pm Handy Haversack: Maybe that can be a prize, Ken. Pledge $100 to give a DJ a haircut.
	1:38pm efd: "The 'Please Kill Me' of hair metal" is a money quote! Thanks for the plug, Joe!
	1:39pm iiibeat: I found a super cryptic phrase about hair and the dead . . From Leviticus, apparently. I will post it if I can find it . . Again.
	1:39pm Joe B: parking lot is gone
	1:39pm Andrew in Toronto: Jack, let`s do this up, up, up!!!
	1:40pm Joe B: efd thanks for having them on! i am living vicariously through your guests!
	👻 1:40pm tim from champaign (now washington): Better than the original!
	1:40pm Tim from LH: Whenever I visit Monty Hall I park in the free lot by Zeppelin Beer Garden and hoof it.
	1:41pm p/b: The Donnas are exactly what i need right now
	1:41pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Tim from LH, take the light rail!
	1:42pm Tim from LH: Jumpy- I’ve done that too!
	1:42pm Joe B: public transport in a pandemic? pass
	1:42pm Joe B: tim, that lot is gone, i believe
	1:43pm Handy Haversack: The Donnas would be a good Artist of the Week for WAB.
	1:44pm Joe B: they are the artist of every week here!
	👻 1:44pm tim from champaign (now washington): (said in schlocky announcer voice) "Joe Belock gets dangerous....IN THE METAL DISTRICT!"
	1:44pm n8th3gr8: i gotta admit those first 2 motley crue records do have some (guilty?) pleasures on them
	1:45pm Joe B: all their records have a few good cuts
	1:45pm efd: can confirm there will be Quiet Riot discussion on Wednesday night!
	1:45pm Handy Haversack: <vyv>VERY METAL</vyv>
	1:45pm DG: Saw the Donnas on this Blondie/Pat Benatar tour about 10 years ago, at one of those free Coney Island shows. They're like the Runaways with better songwriting...but I think they've broken up, no?
	1:45pm Joe B: quiet riot are the strokes of hair metal - good songs, good guitar, dogshit singer
	1:45pm efd: Joe, even your first song of the show has a Motley Crue tie-in!
	1:46pm Son Of Pantz: @efd any delving into Christian Metal, like Stryper?
	1:46pm goyim in the am: Ah, Kevin DuBrow, the cokiest cokehead who ever coked.
	1:47pm efd: There is a lot about Stryper in the book, but they didn't come up in the interview (full disclosure: I taped the interview on Saturday)
	1:47pm medson: Joe B. Get your spandex ready for Evan’s show
	1:48pm Mister Dobalina: Nice song.
	1:48pm mariano: Hah! Haven't herd this Jerks number in years.
	1:48pm Blix: Does anyone know who came up with the "head banger" term?
	1:48pm TDK60: The WFMU parking lot is gone? (What is it now?) Where am I gonna go meditate for a moment during Monty Hall shows? The post office stoop?
	1:49pm Hubig Pie: Q. Where the hell is Bill? A. He went to go see the Circle Jerks
	1:50pm Stevel: "Gooo, screwwwww, yourselllllff!"
	1:50pm Josh Allen: en.wikipedia.org...
	👻 1:50pm tim from champaign (now washington): When I was 14 I bought a cassette of TSOL's Revenge from Believe in Music. I was so bummed when I put it on because Stryper had been duped on it. So gross.
	1:50pm royvis: I believe the parking lot was sold to pay bills, at least a year ago.
	1:50pm Rich in Washington: I need to check out Wonderful again. I remember 1985 being a year for what I thought at the time as being really lackluster Punk records, but upon listening to some of them today, they don't sound quite as bad as I remember.
	1:50pm Mister Dobalina: HeadBangers Ball was a good show.
	1:50pm David (in London): If only there was a song with a title like, say, 'Heavy Metal'...
	👻 1:51pm tim from champaign (now washington): I actually saw Duff McKagan in 2019 with the Shooter Jennings Band backing him. It was actually pretty good.
	1:52pm Joe B: 85 better than 77 in my opinion
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: I can't believe Kate's missing this set for a work call! Def Leppard is one of her karaoke standards, but she does Crue plenty. And there's an Ozzy/Lita Ford duet that she sings whenever she can find a Lita! When she read The Dirt, she really would not put it down. I'd turn around and she'd have it out at dinner, around the camp fire ...
	1:53pm David (in London): You need to support her metal health, Handy.
	1:53pm Rich in Washington: I think in retrospect it was more me branching out from Punk after a couple of years of listening to nothing but than the actual quality of the music coming out.
	1:54pm Robbie Darling: You just know Axl is singing when you hear it.
	1:54pm Hubig Pie: Luvs this lounge-y cover
	1:54pm Yes: awww yeah
	1:54pm Rich in Washington: I also remember how new and fresh G&R's debut album seemed at the time.
	1:55pm iiibeat: Thou shall not make a baldness between your eyes for the dead. Leviticus demands unibrow for mourning.
	1:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Appetite is a fun album. But man, I can never forgive him for that awful cover of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"....hey, heyyyyy, heyyyyyyy! Gross.
	1:55pm Candy-O'67: I remember that, too, about G&R, Rich
	1:55pm Mister Dobalina: Feelin's...
	1:55pm Joe B: exactly rich! it was as big a rush as first hearing mudhoney
	👻 1:56pm tim from champaign (now washington): I still don't understand why Redd Kross wasn't HUGE! They did hard rock pop way better than the hair metalheads and "grunge" way better than Nirvana.
	1:56pm Joe B: spot on woods
	👻 1:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: <commencing slow motion headbanging; aka, nodding>
	1:56pm Candy-O'67: I saw Circle Jerks back in probably about '87, '88, somewhere in there at Power Tools in Houston.
	1:57pm David (in London): Yeah, I was deep in an 'if it isn't Swans I don't want to know about it' phrase in '87, but even I could hear the G&R were putting something new on the table.
	1:57pm JG: There is an amazing version of this by some little kids in th Philippines. Acoustic and boxes for drums. Rockin. I will try to find and post here from Youtube
	1:57pm Joe B: CJ's untouchable in those years. one of the best ever
	1:57pm Hubig Pie: .... but they left off the"where do we go" coda
	1:57pm MonicaC: Hi all. Monica C from AC (but in JC at the moment) tuning in.
	1:57pm Handy Haversack: I was in seventh grade when Appetite came out, and it was pretty huge as a gateway album to much weirder places than I had known before then. Word, Woods.
	👻 1:57pm John L: I saw Luna for this tour, at Maxwells. Don't think they did this that night, though
	👻 1:58pm Mike From Brooklyn: This song always makes me think if this non-radio-safe song from New Zealand's The DoubleHappys "I don't wanna see you again" www.youtube.com...
	👻 1:58pm Hoboken Jack: Tom will also have a free virtual book launch through Hoboken's Little City Books on 3/16. Sure, James Mastro is no EFD, but it will be fun to compare and contrast interviewing styles! www.littlecitybooks.com...
	1:58pm Yes: awww yeaahhh
	1:59pm Mike Sin: Jumpin' in now to say I very much enjoyed that new Matthew Sweet track!
	1:59pm Hubig Pie: This makes me think of Dave Chappelle
	1:59pm JG: This: Cannot see any other version holding a candle to This www.youtube.com...
	2:00pm Yes: lol hugpig
	2:00pm JG: When the kid on lead guitar w the glasses , gets his head banging on, it really takes flight
	2:00pm kev: this is pretty sick
	2:00pm Mister Dobalina: Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way.
	2:00pm pgalub: Hey Joe and everyone! I'm enjoying this detour into... THE METAL DISTRICT! 🎸🔥
	2:04pm Spankyflop: Someone once told me that Sebastian Bach's favorite band was the Cramps.
	👻 2:04pm tim from champaign (now washington): Did anyone hear Duane's Sebastian Bach story that he told during the Marathon some years back?
	👻 2:05pm Hoboken Jack: PETE!!!!!!!!
	2:05pm PeterD: I never liked Skid Row, but I'll admit I thought that was a good cover. Not as good as the Shonen Knife version, but still good. :)
	2:06pm pgalub: JAAACK!!
	2:07pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Marillion's B'Sides Themselves came out way before Skid Row's b-sides collection! No fair!
	2:08pm JG: The best GnR song is You Could Be Mine.
	2:09pm JG: The Best Crue song is Too Young to Fall In Love
	👻 2:09pm tim from champaign (now washington): Marillion? No, Handy no!
	2:11pm David (in London): Too late, Tim, he's unleashed the beast from South Buckinghamshire!
	2:11pm Handy Haversack: The heart wants what it wants, tim! And it wants "Grendel"!
	2:11pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Joe B-sides...
	2:12pm n8th3gr8: @JG You are correct! love that song
	2:12pm n8th3gr8: Too Young to Fall in Love, that is
	2:12pm Bryan Dilsizian: Jamie Lyons forever!!
	2:13pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Sounds a lot like "Agnes English"...
	2:15pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Oops, I meant "Up and Down"! That the other side of the John Fred album...
	2:17pm johnk77: music explosion straight out of mansfield, ohio jamie was from galion
	2:18pm Candy-O'67: Diggin' this British Walkers
	👻 2:18pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Handy and DiL - To be fair, it's probably been about 30 years since I last listened. Time to revisit?
	2:19pm Robbie Darling: Is this Mersey Beat?
	2:19pm Bryan Dilsizian: @johnk77 I knew Jamie well. His daughter is a dear friend of mine. She owned a punk clothing store in Cincinnati
	2:21pm Joe B: @robbie - merseybeat via twin cities!
	2:21pm Joe B: very cool bryan!
	2:21pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Tim from champaign!
	2:22pm dave wuz here: great on both sides
	👻 2:22pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Candy! How's it going?
	👻 2:23pm tim from champaign (now washington): This Leaves song is so good they had to press it on both sides.
	👻 2:23pm Hughie Considine: First encountered this Leaves song on a comp called 'Join the Fan Club" -- stocked with all kinds of lovely obscurities. That was when a good CD comp could blow your mind.
	2:24pm Robbie Darling: Yeah I like the reverse influence @Joe B.
	2:24pm StringOFperils: AT least it takes twice as long to wear this out.
	2:25pm Robbie Darling: I think American merseybeat, was an attempt to fill the void The Kinks left after they were banned in the States.
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: Well, small doses, tim, I'd say. It was a foundational band for me, and I have strong sentimental attachment. But there are good songs in the catalogue. "Grendel," "Fugazi," He Knows You Know," "Freaks," "Tux On," "Margaret," and chunks of /Misplaced Childhood/. Fish and Lemmy were pals!
	2:25pm Candy-O'67: Going good, Tim! I agree about this Leaves song. Best harmonica!
	2:26pm Don F.: Beck-o-lah!
	👻 2:26pm Hughie Considine: I think we can all agree that Jeff Beck is that rare classic rocker who can still wear a tank top.
	2:29pm johnk77: @bryand i did not know any of the musicians very well but i did grow up in mansfield and saw music explosion,sir timothy & the royals, ohio express etc. live in the late sixties
	2:29pm David (in London): Handy, they were from near where I grew up, so obviously in the local towns they were big news. Coming so hot on the heels of Howard Jones (another local boy made good), it was musical boom time!
	👻 2:29pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Handy - Believe it or not, Marillion was huge in the 80s in Grand Rapids, MI thanks to the AOR station WLAV. That was my exposure. I did have one of their albums on tape. I only remember the lyrics "Read some Kerouac/to put you back on track"
	2:29pm dave wuz here: blue cheer is heavier than your mom
	👻 2:30pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Dave - you've never seen my mom. Hey-yoooooooo!
	2:30pm StringOFperils: The nice just got nicer.
	👻 2:30pm Hughie Considine: Is this one of the first major flanger moments in pop? I feel like Miss Toni Fisher's "The Big Hurt" might have been the first.
	👻 2:31pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Phew whatta busy Monday! Checking in Joe and I'm happy to hear the Small Faces :-)
	2:31pm David (in London): I interviewed Leigh Stephens from Blue Cheer once, and it was like trying to get blood out of a stone. A stone that had exsanguinated. And then thrown itself to the bottom of the river bed.
	2:31pm Tim from LH: Sometimes you just want to hear the hits!
	2:32pm p/b: ok TMI but i'm in this f'd up family deal now and in running around yesterday i spent 2 hours in the woods on the CT/RI border yesterday and this was the song in my head
	👻 2:33pm tim from champaign (now washington): @DiL - that sounds like a tough task.
	2:37pm Yes: excellent dennis coffey
	2:37pm David (in London): Tim. It was horrible. Luckily Eric, who founded the band and later became the manager, was as loquacious and forthcoming as Stephens was tight-lipped. And man, Eric had some stories. Blue Cheer and The MC5 in a Mexican stand-off and coming close to an all-out backstage brawl! Oh to have been a fly on the wall that night.
	👻 2:37pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe - thanks for flipping the set over this week!
	2:40pm Bryan Dilsizian: @johnk77 that’s so awesome! All of that was before my time! But did get a good story about the first time the Ramones played in Columbus, and they were more excited to meet Jamie than they were to play the show!
	2:40pm Joe B: this is a lot worse than i remember
	2:41pm dave wuz here: boom! boom!
	2:42pm Son Of Pantz: This is Sha Na Na bad.
	2:43pm Mister Dobalina: 👆 👆 Very comical 👆 👆
	2:43pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Itchychoo Park* cool record for us back in the day *
	👻 2:50pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I can see why you dig this Michael Beach song. It's giving off plenty of Neil Young vibes.
	👻 2:50pm Hoboken Jack: Another winner from Mr. Beach!
	👻 2:51pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Jeff!
	👻 2:52pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Hiya Hoboken Jack :-)
	👻 2:55pm tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe! Great show today and good luck next week!
	2:55pm Daybreak & The Dark Dreams: Elton Reggie Beach Boys????
	2:55pm Slaboch: Great soundtrack to do taxes to this afternoon. Thanks Joe!
	👻 2:56pm Mike From Brooklyn: Great show Joe, thanks! I had to tune out for a bit but caught most of it. Glad you're back at HQ. I'm looking forward to marathon antics.
	2:56pm Frank Zaatar: Thank you for playing this! A great from one of the most underrated BB albums ever.
	2:56pm Chop Scott: Bravo Joe!
	2:56pm radioronan: Thanks Joe..thanks skeletons!
	2:56pm Joe B: thanks everybody! see youse next week!
	2:56pm Mike Sin: Man, I think Ricky Fataar and Blondie Chaplin are my favorite Beach Boys! :)
	2:56pm David (in London): Thanks for tonight's hot rocking Joe.
	👻 2:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Sounded good from Monty Hall!
	👻 2:58pm tim from champaign (now washington): Wow - this Beach Boys cut is killer.
	2:58pm Carmichael: Stig O'Hara!
	2:58pm olivia: wow this track!
	2:58pm Frank Zaatar: @Mike Sin: Not a bad pair of choices!
	2:59pm Michael Shelley: THANKS JOE!
	2:59pm Handy Haversack: Shoot! Thanks, Joe! This was a real blast. Yay for Studio MH! Thanks, team!
	👻 2:59pm Artie17: no neil?
	2:59pm Daybreak & The Dark Dreams: If you’re doing your taxes and you make less than $60,000 you should be able to do it for free. Here is the link to TurboTax sucks ass: https://www.turbotaxsucksass.com Created by Hasan Minhaj Who is very angry about how much the taxing program was stealing from the American public with shiny fanciness.
	3:00pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Joe!
