	12:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Afternoon, Joe, folks!
	12:02pm Carmichael: Heya Joe and lonely surfers.
	12:02pm dgp1138: Well, this song hit at the right moment.
	12:02pm Joe B: greetings all, thanks for being here!
	12:02pm Rick A: It's hard to be a lonely surfer, but one must face the task with strength and purity of heart.
	12:02pm KWilde: Great start Joe B!
	12:02pm Andres: Hey, Joe! Afternoon, all! The idea of a lonely surfer brings a tear to my eye. But this one is purty.
	12:02pm Joe B: intro riff reminded me of joe m's bed music
	12:03pm Handy Haversack: Joe and all the Montebanks! Rock status: Ready!
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Odd to actually hear this track & not just have it utilized by any number of DJs...
	12:03pm Rick A: Jack Nitzsche was a musical genius though a sad life, I guess, great first track, Joe.
	12:04pm northguineahills: Actually around for Joe B!
	12:05pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Hey Joe B! The opening line in this song is top 10 in my book

	12:10pm the Hurston moor-elf: Fully vaxxed, then, Joe?
	12:10pm Joe B: second shot in, now in waiting period
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Perfect record.
	12:11pm McGroovey: I love that Double Shot bassline.
	12:12pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Phillippe! Congrats, Joe! I have to say: even though one still takes precautions and wears a mask and is cool about everything, the relief of getting that second shot in and set is really powerful. I feel a lot less both under fire and like a loaded gun!
	12:13pm Joe B: i hear ya handy
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This Turtles is like in 1965 they've already grokked the GarageRawk mode of like CountFive & perfectly pastiched it. Kinda meta.
	12:14pm Andres: Let's hope this set is motivating the laggards!
	12:14pm morphe': From Joe McG to Joe B in an "AugenBlik"!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:14pm Phillippe: Nice cut!
	12:14pm Mick: Loving the shot/vax thing going on here!
	12:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: This could be The Vaccines moment...
	12:15pm morphe': Jack Nitzche : SF Gate obit [sept 2020]: '..... A thousand red roses sent by Neil Young were arranged beside the casket at the Jack Nitzsche memorial service two weeks ago in Hollywood. A note was attached: "For all the thousands of people who loved your music but never knew your name." https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Farewell-Jack-Nitzsche-2739622.php
	12:15pm Carmichael: My daughter got her 2nd Pfiser yesterday and has a fever.
	12:15pm Hubig Pie: I sense a theme
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: Is there no band ever called the Antibodies? Not played on WFMU in the playlist era, at least.
	12:16pm egould310: That Vaccines tune was fire.
	12:16pm Mark in Toronto: That Turtles song sounds exactly like a song off the 1st or 2nd Pebbles series, yet it's credited as being written by Howard Kaylan. What is the song?
	12:17pm medson: Hola Joe B and all. Let’s rock.
	12:18pm Carmichael: No band called mRNA?
	12:18pm Rich in Bay Ridge: RIP Les...
	12:19pm Krys O.: The Jabs is up for grabs. ;)
	12:20pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Joe and all! RIP Les.
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KrysO - & there's the ad campaign...
	👻 12:22pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello Joe, everyone!
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...you'd just hafta keep from getting stabbed all the time...
	12:24pm dave wuz here: i had a bay city rollers poster in my room when i was very young. i don't think i even knew what a bay city roller was. i'm sure it was my first "rock and roll" purchase.
	12:25pm Bruce S.: hey everyone whats up
	12:25pm Andrew Hollywood: Rollers Show 2nite
	12:26pm Bruce S.: how about some shaun cassidy
	12:26pm Joe B: you got it bruce
	12:27pm Candy-O'67: Diggin' this Bay City Rollers set! That's great, Dave wuz here!
	12:27pm Pedro in Arlington: So they were from Scotland but threw a dart at a map and hit a town in Michigan? OK.
	12:27pm Bruce S.: leif garret
	12:27pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Loving this, Joe! Celebrating my second shot this morning with a little 3CM!!
	12:27pm Mark in Toronto: I think the Bay City Rollers need a complete re-evaluation. These are all really good.
	12:28pm myron feld: "R&R Love Letter" is one of the best covers ever. Say, Joe B, is "Yesterday's Heroes" coming up?
	12:30pm Joe B: funny to see how the bay city rollers still trigger the 'disco sucks' crowd
	12:30pm Joe B: i don't even count it as a cover as the original is pretty much irrelevant
	12:30pm Hubig Pie: I had them pegged as a band from N. California like Sausalito
	12:30pm Krys O.: Cool beans, Sissophonic Cheryl!
	12:31pm Joe B: @mark - be careful - their management went for the easy listening audience soon after so tread slowly!
	12:31pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Joe! Bay City Rollers doing Burt Bacharach!
	12:31pm Krys O.: I was today year's old when I discovered RnRLL was a cover and I covered it almost 30 years ago myself. LOL!
	12:31pm Mark in Toronto: Except this one.
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: Congrats, Sissophonic Cheryl!
	12:32pm Bruce S.: i think i was too old for the bay city rollers and i think i still am
	12:32pm Tank Top: Meat Loaf and Bay City Rollers kind of morning on WFMU
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Devalued as teenybop pop - ironically it's the ballad that's the least of these...
	12:33pm Candy-O'67: I agree with both of your last statements, Mark in Toronto!
	12:33pm Krys O.: Ah, the Drifters....
	12:33pm Mark in Toronto: @Joe - Always sneered at the hype and hoopla, but always thought those early singles were catchy.
	12:34pm Cookman: Bravo on your LFC set!!! Always thought they were a great glam rock band
	12:34pm Mark in Toronto: Thanks Candy-O
	12:35pm Bruce S.: there kind of super lightweight
	12:37pm Bruce S.: i dont want to spoil the party though
	12:39pm PortsmouthJay: Get the shot, let's gooooo!!!
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great gittar tones & goes along with most mid1970s Rawk ! Solid GlamStomp in the context of simple pop hooks. Not too challenging really.
	12:41pm McGroovey: I just wrote words for a whole vaccination song in my head while waiting in line in the car on South Kearney for my second dose. Now I've gotta go home and do the music.
	12:42pm Jack: How about "Rollers Show" by Nick Lowe?
	12:42pm McGroovey: In
	12:42pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You must be a fan of that walking haircut Beiber, Joe!
	12:42pm Hubig Pie: Scold away, it's your show
	12:43pm morphe': As Bill Berger used to say/would say "... ya don't like the music ... change the station ..."
	12:43pm Andres: Any good CanCon fan is a Belieber.
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: Carry a pen, McGroovey!
	12:43pm Joe B: i actually am not a fan of those nick lowe rollers tunes. comes across as petty jealousy to me
	12:43pm dave wuz here: humpty dance was EVERYWHERE in 90-1
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Vaccines are a little counter-intuitive - as the object is to get your immune system going by introducing a sort of invasive thing that's less dangerous than a deadly contagion ! But where the line is - what they're calling Theories don't even rise to the level of Hypothesis. You can have your own opinions - but you can't make your own facts. & the thing about a contagion is - it ain't just about you chumboy. It's all of us. ...I hears Hendrix !
	12:44pm McGroovey: Since I was listening to the Rollers set while I was thinking up the words, I suppose the music will be on the bouncy pop side. "Vaccine Envy".
	12:44pm Bruce S.: whats going on with william berger is he still around
	12:44pm Krys O.: DJ Monica shared some touching remembrances about Shock G on Instagram.
	12:44pm McGroovey: Actually, I typed it into my phone, because I'm forgetful.
	12:45pm Joe B: @dave - it sure was. always love it when once in a while something cool becomes huge!
	12:45pm Lewis: @RR63 - definitely a bit of Jimi in there...
	12:45pm Krys O.: @Bruce S., Berger passed away in 2017.
	12:45pm joe: 'ello folks
	👻 12:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Joe and Monty Chords! RIP, Humpty!
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lewis it's a sample of Band of Gypsys 'Who Knows'.
	12:46pm Alvy Singer: Sampling Jimi Hendrix "Who Knows".
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: Oh, right -- I forget phones can do that.
	12:46pm Bruce S.: im so sorry
	12:46pm McGroovey: obits.nj.com...
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - a BuddyMiles song.
	12:47pm Bruce S.: Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ @12:46McGroovey: obits.nj.com...
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah we remember Willam Berger forever.
	12:47pm morphe': I knew I heard Humpty in there ....
	12:47pm Bruce S.: berger was years ahead of his time
	12:48pm Joe B: agreed bruce
	12:49pm Gaylord Fields: Shock G and Humpty really do not sound like the same person — each had a completely different flow.
	12:49pm Chop Scott: Hey-Ho Joe!
	12:49pm Neil M: Joe, you are destroying it today with the tributes! This Digital Underground set is fire and the Bay City Rollers tracks were perfect. Thanks for Please Stay, what a song!
	12:50pm Joe B: hey scott - a song you engineered coming up later on!
	12:51pm Joe B: gaylord, i had one very long argument with someone in a bar when they were at their peak on the very subject!
	12:51pm morphe': Shock G = https://www.legacy.com/news/celebrity-deaths/shock-g-1963-2021-frontman-for-digital-underground/
	12:52pm Carl from Providence: funny how this show and shakin street are like bookends for the week with the sat lineup in the middle.
	12:52pm Gaylord Fields: So the other person thought that was Humpty's real nose?
	12:52pm efd: Listeners to my show on Wednesday will be excused for thinking it's a repeat of today's 3 Chord Monte show.
	12:53pm Joe B: @gaylord - ha!
	12:54pm Joe B: @efd - by playing the best four or five bay city rollers songs over and over, we are misleading people!
	12:54pm paddy in matawan: I love Digital Underground.
	👻 12:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Gaylord - Yep, I did. Just a hint of a nasal sound had me convinced.
	12:57pm dave wuz here: sorry dog, no walk until the digital underground tribute wraps up.
	12:59pm Mister Dobalina: Tuned it at the right time.
	12:59pm paddy in matawan: And if anyone hasn't seen the movie Nothing But Trouble, Digital Underground makes an appearance. One of my favorite movies ever.
	12:59pm Hubig Pie: Dowatcha wanna Not whatcha oughtta
	12:59pm Andres: RIP Shock G. So explosive when this came out. Love it.
	1:00pm dave wuz here: getting a full face nostalgia blast
	1:00pm paddy in matawan: Packet Man remix on E.P release is awesome.
	1:01pm Tangaroa: To me, Bay City Rollers were the band the ruined the Krofft Supershow. Sleestaks > BCR.
	1:01pm Mister Dobalina: Joe B got them packets...
	1:02pm Joe B: paddy, almost picked that one. agreed it is great
	1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for both a pusher & a pimp he's a pretty straightforward dood...
	1:04pm paddy in matawan: Nice Joe B. I really liked rap from this period. I was in middle school and it was all everyone listened too. I slowly fell in love with it.
	1:04pm dave wuz here: dial that beeper number
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: Awesome track. I don't think I ever heard it before.
	1:04pm Bruce S.: this is defenitly a worthy tribute to digital underground
	1:05pm paddy in matawan: Wow Shock G co-wrote?! Love that.
	1:05pm Glistener MW: R.I.P. Humpty Hump
	1:06pm The Oscar: Afternoon! LOVING this DU set, and I had NO IDEA Shock G co-wrote "Mama Said Knock You Out!"
	1:06pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: RIP Shock G great set Joe!
	1:06pm Candy-O'67: Taking me back to Power Tools days back in Houston. That was the club where all the cool kids hung out - LOL
	1:06pm paddy in matawan: I was always kinda pissed about Humpty Dance. They were so much better than a comedic band.
	1:06pm Bootsie: Much love for this LL jam!
	1:07pm paddy in matawan: But so is Ween. I guess I gravitate toward it.
	1:07pm Candy-O'67: I spent many a night dancing to this LL Cool J and other Hip Hop greats
	👻 1:07pm Hoboken Jack: How's my rock steady crew? Hi Joe, Michele, TOPT, EFD, Gaylord, Chop Scott, Cheryl, HP Ken, McGroove, Handy, Bagpippi Shortstocking, mighty mighty Medson Man, everyone!
	1:08pm Andres: Great tribute, Joe. After show please check out Joe D show from this week with his tribute.
	1:08pm Joe B: his dmx tribute was great
	1:08pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	1:09pm Matt Fiveash: Didn't know about the Shock G re-write! I've always loved how LL sounds increasingly psychotic/fierce as this song moves along
	1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - if yer funny @ all - strong tendency to not be taken seriously for your other qualities. & then ChuckBerry has his biggest hit by far with DingaLing... Maybe that has actually gotten better.
	1:09pm Matt Fiveash: *co-write, not re-write
	1:10pm Lizardner Dave !: Great set Joe!
	1:10pm Andres: Joe, that was great as well. So sad with the many tributes this year but very kind for the djs to honour the artists.
	1:10pm Krys O.: Fave line: Smell how ya like.
	👻 1:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nice write-up on Shock G - www.washingtonpost.com... Joe D's tribute - www.wfmu.org...
	1:12pm morphe': Thanks for that Joe ... out for a bit ....
	1:13pm onthetrain: @joe they remind me of radio birdman. Good pick
	1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even as ignorant of HipHop as I am - I felt those trax' impact.
	1:15pm Mark in Toronto: You couldn't play this any faster and have it still be intelligible.
	1:15pm PKNY: Hmmm, not sure about Shock G co-writing of "Mama Said Knock You Out", no official writing credits on the label (only LL and Marley Marl). Maybe that's from the Sly and the Family Stone drum sample with the tell-tale hit used in "Humpty Dance", which many other records sampled later on, including "Mama Said Knock You Out".
	1:15pm morphe': Revolution Rabbit Nov63: are ya clairvoyant??? you wrote at 1:09 an "...then ChuckBerry has his biggest hit by far with DingaLing... Maybe that has actually gotten better..." and now 1:14 Get Out of denver ....
	1:17pm paddy in matawan: If I'm not mistaken, there was a lot of real musicianship in Digital Underground too. Not like the kids of today.
	1:17pm Bruce S.: sonics! alllllright
	👻 1:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: Kind of Led-Zepelllin-y with The Sonics.
	1:19pm Bruce S.: a little kinks to
	1:19pm Handy Haversack: I definitely had the flaming sideburns a few times before I quit smoking.
	1:21pm Handy Haversack: They are saying "Belock's tonight," right? Is there a party, Joe? I guess Robert is invited?
	1:22pm Bruce S.: are they saying beiocks tonight
	1:24pm Bruce S.: i like mesmerised
	1:29pm Mister Dobalina: 🤙🤙 🤘 🤘 🤘
	1:30pm onthetrain: When you say belocks do you mean ruts hut ?
	1:32pm sparkle: wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
	1:32pm sparkle: jon-eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! wheeeeeeeeeeee!
	1:33pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Willy Deville killed Johnny...

	1:41pm paddy in matawan: Great set
	1:41pm Woo: why my life has been cursed, poisoned, condemned.
	👻 1:41pm John L: I was working in an adult book/magazine/things made of rubber store, in Baltimore, when the news of Johnny's death was announced on the radio. That was a miserable day for so many reasons. You can't put your arms around a memory, but if you could you may need to wash afterwards.
	1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thee Definitive Punk'n'Roll Gittarist.
	1:43pm MikeDeeThrillSergeant: Hey Joe and everybody! Looks like I got in on the chat at the right time Just got back from a job interview on the subway train😉🎧
	1:45pm sparkle: just think... rock and roll was invented so that song could happen....
	1:45pm Bruce S.: this is great
	1:47pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Homegirl Ronnie Spector
	1:48pm Bruce S.: man that was great
	1:49pm dano59: Love Ronnie’s version. Still on the fence about yet another LAMF
	1:49pm medson: Nice set.
	1:50pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Great song by Ronnie! Now Alejandro hanging in Jackson Hts. Awesome tune.
	1:50pm AS from MP: Johnny Volume = outstanding choice from outstanding album
	1:51pm morphe': My last Johnny Thunders show ended on the nod and we got refunds???? Still many good memories... Do not remember the nyc venue ???? not Cbs ... they would never give refunds....
	👻 1:52pm John L: Escovedo did this the last time I saw him, at Club Helsinki 2017. What a great show.

	1:56pm Gaston Musella: Mercer Arts Center, 1972. Opening act Ruby and the Rednecks. Dance on stage with the Dolls. Platform shoes and my sister's dress. No makeup. Just dancing. Whoa......
	1:56pm Bruce S.: yeah excellent
	1:56pm Hubig Pie: Baaeee-beee
	1:59pm SeanG: go Bob!
	1:59pm Hoboken Pete: Maxwell's! How did they have such a good recording?
	2:00pm morphe': ".... In the spring of 1989, Johnny Thunders opened a couple of shows for the Replacements. ..." https://dangerousminds.net/comments/when_johnny_thunders_jammed_with_the_replacements
	2:00pm Glistener MW: @Pete -- I've often wondered the same!!! There are so many phenomenal "Live at Maxwell's" recordings out there that should probably sound fuzzier/garbagier (but thankfully don't!)
	2:00pm Joe B: warner bros brought their own recording truck parked on 11th street
	2:01pm Bruce S.: johnny and the sex pistols
	2:01pm medson: Didn’t Johnny hit spacely with his guitar after playing pipeline?
	2:01pm Handy Haversack: New Model Army Live at Maxwell's is a fantastic live album.
	2:01pm SeanG: wasn't Johnny's first band called "The Reign"? I remember greg cartwright talking about that
	2:02pm Toots: Pipeline will always remind me of Spacely and Thunders fighting on stage
	2:05pm Layet Johnson: I LOVE Alejandro
	👻 2:06pm David Shortell: @SeanG Yes, you can buy his first recording here: www.nortonrecords.com...

	2:15pm sparkle: Who are these silver synthetic creatures????!!!! they're fab-ooo!!!
	👻 2:15pm John L: Speaking of the Stones, has anyone heard that new Jagger/Grohl song?
	2:17pm MikeDeeThrillSergeant: The Jagger/Grohl song’s not bad but sounds like a big lift from the NYDolls-Puss in Boots
	2:18pm Leslie Day: Love Natural Child! Hi Joe, How's it hangin'? Hope all's well. :)
	2:18pm Mister Dobalina: Never heard this version before.
	2:19pm morphe': must truly do the food shopping .....As David Z from V-Effect sang "....Stp Playing Those Songs..." I think he wrote that on tour in Eastern Europe when it was yelled by someone in the crowd ??? do not quote me ..... Here it is a compliment meaning ... stuck to the beats and cannot get out of the house .... Thanks Joe and all !!!!!!!!!!!!!
	👻 2:23pm Hoboken Jack: It's that Hoodoo Gurus cover again, haha
	2:23pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Andrea Gillis is like the female Dom Mariani!
	2:24pm Joe B: same wavelength Jack
	2:24pm Joe B: hey Leslie!
	2:25pm Joe B: thanks everyone for tuning in! appreciate it, a little behind on the comments but thanks for checking in!
	2:27pm myron feld: "I Want You Back" -- top 10 of all songs ever? Yes.
	2:27pm Mimi: I knew this Andrea Gillis song reminded me of something!! Thanks!
	2:28pm bigplanetnoise: Fantastic show, JB - so much great stuff!!!

	2:33pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Joe!!!
	2:34pm Carmichael: RT on Todd??? Awesome!
	2:34pm Rick A: The Tina Turner documentary is good though it spends a lot of time on her trauma and maybe not enough time on her creativity. I would have liked to have seen a segment on her performance in Tommy, what was it like to work with eccentric filmmaker Ken Russell.
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: Happy bday again, Todd! Hope it was a blast (as much as such a think is possible without Bagpipe). Really looking forward to RT on Sat.!
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: This album is so good!
	👻 2:34pm David Shortell: In "No Slam Dancing, No Stage Diving, No Spikes: An Oral History of the Legendary City Gardens", Gentleman Jim of Crucial Youth recounts that the most violent incident in the history of that infamous Trenton spot was, incredibly, at a Hoodoo Gurus show!
	👻 2:34pm Cacophone Jeff: Happy Belated Birthday, TOPT!! Can't wait for Saturday!!
	👻 2:36pm Hoboken Jack: I will not rest until me and RT get burgers at Tierney's.
	2:36pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Jim, Jeff and Handy!
	👻 2:37pm David Shortell: Richard Thompson played a socially distanced outdoor show at Woodbridge High School this past July.
	2:37pm Phillippe: Happy birthday Todd!
	2:38pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Phillippe!
	2:38pm Joe B: @rick - agreed
	2:39pm Rick A: Happy birthday Todd, back in the good old days of 2019, I attended a wedding you djayd in Bushwick. It was the best music I had ever heard at a wedding.
	2:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: That was a good time Rick!
	2:40pm mndave: awesome cover!
	👻 2:40pm John L: One of my favorite Richard Thompson songs is Drowned Dog Black Night, form the first French Frith Kaiser Thompson albums. That album tends to get overlooked; it's a little more out there than some of RTs other records.
	2:42pm Rick A: I saw Richard Thompson in Prospect Park a few years back. It was pouring down rain and many people left though we hung in there, happily, hearing him perform "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" which the Del McCoury Band has made famous to a whole new audience.
	2:42pm whoopsie: whoopsie sez hi to Dave Levine....
	2:42pm goyim in the am: Yeah, RT snuck some burners on both of those FFKT records.
	👻 2:44pm Hoboken Jack: He better not sneak burgers into Tierney's
	👻 2:44pm Hughie Considine: A few years ago I saw RT in the opening slot of a bill that should have been the other way around. Kind of bummed me out! He was gracious and masterly as always.
	2:48pm Rich in Bay Ridge: @John L RT’s “Killing Jar” with FFKT will haunt me forever. Thompson is a once in a millennium talent

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.

	12:02pm dgp1138: Well, this song hit at the right moment.
	12:02pm Joe B: greetings all, thanks for being here!
	12:02pm Rick A: It's hard to be a lonely surfer, but one must face the task with strength and purity of heart.
	12:02pm KWilde: Great start Joe B!
	12:02pm Andres: Hey, Joe! Afternoon, all! The idea of a lonely surfer brings a tear to my eye. But this one is purty.
	12:02pm Joe B: intro riff reminded me of joe m's bed music
	12:03pm Handy Haversack: Joe and all the Montebanks! Rock status: Ready!
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Odd to actually hear this track & not just have it utilized by any number of DJs...
	12:03pm Rick A: Jack Nitzsche was a musical genius though a sad life, I guess, great first track, Joe.
	12:04pm northguineahills: Actually around for Joe B!
	12:05pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Hey Joe B! The opening line in this song is top 10 in my book

	12:10pm Joe B: second shot in, now in waiting period
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Perfect record.
	12:11pm McGroovey: I love that Double Shot bassline.
	12:12pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Phillippe! Congrats, Joe! I have to say: even though one still takes precautions and wears a mask and is cool about everything, the relief of getting that second shot in and set is really powerful. I feel a lot less both under fire and like a loaded gun!
	12:13pm Joe B: i hear ya handy
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This Turtles is like in 1965 they've already grokked the GarageRawk mode of like CountFive & perfectly pastiched it. Kinda meta.
	12:14pm Andres: Let's hope this set is motivating the laggards!
	12:14pm morphe': From Joe McG to Joe B in an "AugenBlik"!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:14pm Phillippe: Nice cut!
	12:14pm Mick: Loving the shot/vax thing going on here!
	12:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: This could be The Vaccines moment...
	12:15pm morphe': Jack Nitzche : SF Gate obit [sept 2020]: '..... A thousand red roses sent by Neil Young were arranged beside the casket at the Jack Nitzsche memorial service two weeks ago in Hollywood. A note was attached: "For all the thousands of people who loved your music but never knew your name." https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Farewell-Jack-Nitzsche-2739622.php
	12:15pm Carmichael: My daughter got her 2nd Pfiser yesterday and has a fever.
	12:15pm Hubig Pie: I sense a theme
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: Is there no band ever called the Antibodies? Not played on WFMU in the playlist era, at least.
	12:16pm egould310: That Vaccines tune was fire.
	12:16pm Mark in Toronto: That Turtles song sounds exactly like a song off the 1st or 2nd Pebbles series, yet it's credited as being written by Howard Kaylan. What is the song?
	12:17pm medson: Hola Joe B and all. Let’s rock.
	12:18pm Carmichael: No band called mRNA?
	12:18pm Rich in Bay Ridge: RIP Les...
	12:19pm Krys O.: The Jabs is up for grabs. ;)
	12:20pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Joe and all! RIP Les.
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KrysO - & there's the ad campaign...
	👻 12:22pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello Joe, everyone!
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...you'd just hafta keep from getting stabbed all the time...
	12:24pm dave wuz here: i had a bay city rollers poster in my room when i was very young. i don't think i even knew what a bay city roller was. i'm sure it was my first "rock and roll" purchase.
	12:25pm Bruce S.: hey everyone whats up
	12:25pm Andrew Hollywood: Rollers Show 2nite
	12:26pm Bruce S.: how about some shaun cassidy
	12:26pm Joe B: you got it bruce
	12:27pm Candy-O'67: Diggin' this Bay City Rollers set! That's great, Dave wuz here!
	12:27pm Pedro in Arlington: So they were from Scotland but threw a dart at a map and hit a town in Michigan? OK.
	12:27pm Bruce S.: leif garret
	12:27pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Loving this, Joe! Celebrating my second shot this morning with a little 3CM!!
	12:27pm Mark in Toronto: I think the Bay City Rollers need a complete re-evaluation. These are all really good.
	12:28pm myron feld: "R&R Love Letter" is one of the best covers ever. Say, Joe B, is "Yesterday's Heroes" coming up?
	12:30pm Joe B: funny to see how the bay city rollers still trigger the 'disco sucks' crowd
	12:30pm Joe B: i don't even count it as a cover as the original is pretty much irrelevant
	12:30pm Hubig Pie: I had them pegged as a band from N. California like Sausalito
	12:30pm Krys O.: Cool beans, Sissophonic Cheryl!
	12:31pm Joe B: @mark - be careful - their management went for the easy listening audience soon after so tread slowly!
	12:31pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Joe! Bay City Rollers doing Burt Bacharach!
	12:31pm Krys O.: I was today year's old when I discovered RnRLL was a cover and I covered it almost 30 years ago myself. LOL!
	12:31pm Mark in Toronto: Except this one.
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: Congrats, Sissophonic Cheryl!
	12:32pm Bruce S.: i think i was too old for the bay city rollers and i think i still am
	12:32pm Tank Top: Meat Loaf and Bay City Rollers kind of morning on WFMU
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Devalued as teenybop pop - ironically it's the ballad that's the least of these...
	12:33pm Candy-O'67: I agree with both of your last statements, Mark in Toronto!
	12:33pm Krys O.: Ah, the Drifters....
	12:33pm Mark in Toronto: @Joe - Always sneered at the hype and hoopla, but always thought those early singles were catchy.
	12:34pm Cookman: Bravo on your LFC set!!! Always thought they were a great glam rock band
	12:34pm Mark in Toronto: Thanks Candy-O
	12:35pm Bruce S.: there kind of super lightweight
	12:37pm Bruce S.: i dont want to spoil the party though
	12:39pm PortsmouthJay: Get the shot, let's gooooo!!!
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great gittar tones & goes along with most mid1970s Rawk ! Solid GlamStomp in the context of simple pop hooks. Not too challenging really.
	12:41pm McGroovey: I just wrote words for a whole vaccination song in my head while waiting in line in the car on South Kearney for my second dose. Now I've gotta go home and do the music.
	12:42pm Jack: How about "Rollers Show" by Nick Lowe?
	12:42pm McGroovey: In
	12:42pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You must be a fan of that walking haircut Beiber, Joe!
	12:42pm Hubig Pie: Scold away, it's your show
	12:43pm morphe': As Bill Berger used to say/would say "... ya don't like the music ... change the station ..."
	12:43pm Andres: Any good CanCon fan is a Belieber.
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: Carry a pen, McGroovey!
	12:43pm Joe B: i actually am not a fan of those nick lowe rollers tunes. comes across as petty jealousy to me
	12:43pm dave wuz here: humpty dance was EVERYWHERE in 90-1
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Vaccines are a little counter-intuitive - as the object is to get your immune system going by introducing a sort of invasive thing that's less dangerous than a deadly contagion ! But where the line is - what they're calling Theories don't even rise to the level of Hypothesis. You can have your own opinions - but you can't make your own facts. & the thing about a contagion is - it ain't just about you chumboy. It's all of us. ...I hears Hendrix !
	12:44pm McGroovey: Since I was listening to the Rollers set while I was thinking up the words, I suppose the music will be on the bouncy pop side. "Vaccine Envy".
	12:44pm Bruce S.: whats going on with william berger is he still around
	12:44pm Krys O.: DJ Monica shared some touching remembrances about Shock G on Instagram.
	12:44pm McGroovey: Actually, I typed it into my phone, because I'm forgetful.
	12:45pm Joe B: @dave - it sure was. always love it when once in a while something cool becomes huge!
	12:45pm Lewis: @RR63 - definitely a bit of Jimi in there...
	12:45pm Krys O.: @Bruce S., Berger passed away in 2017.
	12:45pm joe: 'ello folks
	👻 12:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Joe and Monty Chords! RIP, Humpty!
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lewis it's a sample of Band of Gypsys 'Who Knows'.
	12:46pm Alvy Singer: Sampling Jimi Hendrix "Who Knows".
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: Oh, right -- I forget phones can do that.
	12:46pm Bruce S.: im so sorry
	12:46pm McGroovey: obits.nj.com...
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - a BuddyMiles song.
	12:47pm Bruce S.: Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ @12:46McGroovey: obits.nj.com...
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah we remember Willam Berger forever.
	12:47pm morphe': I knew I heard Humpty in there ....
	12:47pm Bruce S.: berger was years ahead of his time
	12:48pm Joe B: agreed bruce
	12:49pm Gaylord Fields: Shock G and Humpty really do not sound like the same person — each had a completely different flow.
	12:49pm Chop Scott: Hey-Ho Joe!
	12:49pm Neil M: Joe, you are destroying it today with the tributes! This Digital Underground set is fire and the Bay City Rollers tracks were perfect. Thanks for Please Stay, what a song!
	12:50pm Joe B: hey scott - a song you engineered coming up later on!
	12:51pm Joe B: gaylord, i had one very long argument with someone in a bar when they were at their peak on the very subject!
	12:51pm morphe': Shock G = https://www.legacy.com/news/celebrity-deaths/shock-g-1963-2021-frontman-for-digital-underground/
	12:52pm Carl from Providence: funny how this show and shakin street are like bookends for the week with the sat lineup in the middle.
	12:52pm Gaylord Fields: So the other person thought that was Humpty's real nose?
	12:52pm efd: Listeners to my show on Wednesday will be excused for thinking it's a repeat of today's 3 Chord Monte show.
	12:53pm Joe B: @gaylord - ha!
	12:54pm Joe B: @efd - by playing the best four or five bay city rollers songs over and over, we are misleading people!
	12:54pm paddy in matawan: I love Digital Underground.
	👻 12:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Gaylord - Yep, I did. Just a hint of a nasal sound had me convinced.
	12:57pm dave wuz here: sorry dog, no walk until the digital underground tribute wraps up.
	12:59pm Mister Dobalina: Tuned it at the right time.
	12:59pm paddy in matawan: And if anyone hasn't seen the movie Nothing But Trouble, Digital Underground makes an appearance. One of my favorite movies ever.
	12:59pm Hubig Pie: Dowatcha wanna Not whatcha oughtta
	12:59pm Andres: RIP Shock G. So explosive when this came out. Love it.
	1:00pm dave wuz here: getting a full face nostalgia blast
	1:00pm paddy in matawan: Packet Man remix on E.P release is awesome.
	1:01pm Tangaroa: To me, Bay City Rollers were the band the ruined the Krofft Supershow. Sleestaks > BCR.
	1:01pm Mister Dobalina: Joe B got them packets...
	1:02pm Joe B: paddy, almost picked that one. agreed it is great
	1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for both a pusher & a pimp he's a pretty straightforward dood...
	1:04pm paddy in matawan: Nice Joe B. I really liked rap from this period. I was in middle school and it was all everyone listened too. I slowly fell in love with it.
	1:04pm dave wuz here: dial that beeper number
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: Awesome track. I don't think I ever heard it before.
	1:04pm Bruce S.: this is defenitly a worthy tribute to digital underground
	1:05pm paddy in matawan: Wow Shock G co-wrote?! Love that.
	1:05pm Glistener MW: R.I.P. Humpty Hump
	1:06pm The Oscar: Afternoon! LOVING this DU set, and I had NO IDEA Shock G co-wrote "Mama Said Knock You Out!"
	1:06pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: RIP Shock G great set Joe!
	1:06pm Candy-O'67: Taking me back to Power Tools days back in Houston. That was the club where all the cool kids hung out - LOL
	1:06pm paddy in matawan: I was always kinda pissed about Humpty Dance. They were so much better than a comedic band.
	1:06pm Bootsie: Much love for this LL jam!
	1:07pm paddy in matawan: But so is Ween. I guess I gravitate toward it.
	1:07pm Candy-O'67: I spent many a night dancing to this LL Cool J and other Hip Hop greats
	👻 1:07pm Hoboken Jack: How's my rock steady crew? Hi Joe, Michele, TOPT, EFD, Gaylord, Chop Scott, Cheryl, HP Ken, McGroove, Handy, Bagpippi Shortstocking, mighty mighty Medson Man, everyone!
	1:08pm Andres: Great tribute, Joe. After show please check out Joe D show from this week with his tribute.
	1:08pm Joe B: his dmx tribute was great
	1:08pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	1:09pm Matt Fiveash: Didn't know about the Shock G re-write! I've always loved how LL sounds increasingly psychotic/fierce as this song moves along
	1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - if yer funny @ all - strong tendency to not be taken seriously for your other qualities. & then ChuckBerry has his biggest hit by far with DingaLing... Maybe that has actually gotten better.
	1:09pm Matt Fiveash: *co-write, not re-write
	1:10pm Lizardner Dave !: Great set Joe!
	1:10pm Andres: Joe, that was great as well. So sad with the many tributes this year but very kind for the djs to honour the artists.
	1:10pm Krys O.: Fave line: Smell how ya like.
	👻 1:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nice write-up on Shock G - www.washingtonpost.com... Joe D's tribute - www.wfmu.org...
	1:12pm morphe': Thanks for that Joe ... out for a bit ....
	1:13pm onthetrain: @joe they remind me of radio birdman. Good pick
	1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even as ignorant of HipHop as I am - I felt those trax' impact.
	1:15pm Mark in Toronto: You couldn't play this any faster and have it still be intelligible.
	1:15pm PKNY: Hmmm, not sure about Shock G co-writing of "Mama Said Knock You Out", no official writing credits on the label (only LL and Marley Marl). Maybe that's from the Sly and the Family Stone drum sample with the tell-tale hit used in "Humpty Dance", which many other records sampled later on, including "Mama Said Knock You Out".
	1:15pm morphe': Revolution Rabbit Nov63: are ya clairvoyant??? you wrote at 1:09 an "...then ChuckBerry has his biggest hit by far with DingaLing... Maybe that has actually gotten better..." and now 1:14 Get Out of denver ....
	1:17pm paddy in matawan: If I'm not mistaken, there was a lot of real musicianship in Digital Underground too. Not like the kids of today.
	1:17pm Bruce S.: sonics! alllllright

	2:34pm Carmichael: RT on Todd??? Awesome!
	2:34pm Rick A: The Tina Turner documentary is good though it spends a lot of time on her trauma and maybe not enough time on her creativity. I would have liked to have seen a segment on her performance in Tommy, what was it like to work with eccentric filmmaker Ken Russell.
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: Happy bday again, Todd! Hope it was a blast (as much as such a think is possible without Bagpipe). Really looking forward to RT on Sat.!

	2:40pm mndave: awesome cover!
	👻 2:40pm John L: One of my favorite Richard Thompson songs is Drowned Dog Black Night, form the first French Frith Kaiser Thompson albums. That album tends to get overlooked; it's a little more out there than some of RTs other records.
	2:42pm Rick A: I saw Richard Thompson in Prospect Park a few years back. It was pouring down rain and many people left though we hung in there, happily, hearing him perform "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" which the Del McCoury Band has made famous to a whole new audience.

	2:49pm Carmichael: I've seen RT about 20 times over the years, in different band configs. Always a great show.
	2:50pm medson: Great show Joe B. Shoving off here.
	👻 2:52pm John L: Rich in Bay Ridge: Great song. I have a bootleg of a BBC session where he does an acoustic version. Tried finding it on line, to post, but no luck.
	2:53pm Rich in Bay Ridge: @John L a white whale to look out for.
	2:53pm efd: done with a meeting and popping in to say that Richard Thompson will be returning to Woodbridge (NJ) High School this summer - Wednesday June 23rd, to be exact. I guess he liked it!

	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Crap damn it, how can it be almost over already? Another great one, Joe! Thanks so much. You'd think that if time wants to keep being incomprehensibly confusing, it could at least throw us a bone and sometimes just do another Monday at noon, right? What. A. World.
	2:54pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Joe, loved the show today. Looking forward to the next one
	👻 2:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. What a ride! See ya, Jack!
