	9:08am TonyR: As long as he stops before we get to the dirty hippies.
	9:08am PigeonsAndRust: Twenty years late but I've been reading the Giddins book on Bing lately. "A Pocketful of Dreams" Bing 1903-1940 is wonderful and full of lots of showbiz tidbits of the era

	9:14am Colleen: Hey Handy!!
	9:15am Miss G: They did, at the Thalia?! Wow, fun. We have a Wurlitzer at the Byrd in Richmond, yesterday was Dracula with it, but I was at another event.
	👻 9:15am yerfriendpaul: Hey Colleen! Good morning!

	9:20am TonyR: @Roberto: Soon enough, my child. Patience!
	9:20am Prodigal Daughter: The Hits of the 30's are swell and just perfect for today! Thanks, Joe!
	👻 9:20am Brian in UK: Looks like we have a fifth prime minister since 2016. We are turning into Italy but without the food & wine.
	9:20am Mike W.: 33 skidoo! [inflation]
	9:21am Miss G: Oh Brian in UK, that Nosferatu experience is a _dream!_ And Krys O, those! And RRN63, that! Just thinking about them, is such a pleasure.
	👻 9:21am yerfriendpaul: Love the horn arrangement/flourishes
	👻 9:21am Will thee Sound Guy: I'm a big brass man myself
	9:23am PigeonsAndRust: Glenn Miller,, Bunny Berrigan and Artist Shaw were all playing on that version of Blue Moon
	9:23am PaulRobeson1922: Fred Astaire faced that music and danced, if you know what I mean
	9:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Shocked - SHOCKED another Conservative PM failed to make Brexit magically make sense. Next. ...Meanwhile - in the USA we're about to hand over Congress to the Party that tried to murder ...Congress. Cause Inflation. Also - record Corporate Profits. Merest coincidence all of this no doubt...
	9:23am PaulRobeson1922: Coffee time!
	9:23am TonyR: This Fred Astaire track is dirty fighting.
	9:23am Miss G: Wow, thank you PigeonsAndRust, and thanks for the Bing book rec.

	👻 9:25am Hughie Considine: Mondays are far more tolerable in sepia.
	9:25am dano59: I love standards; possibly going back to watching the Marx Brothers as a kid. The last real one might be Moon River. I Usually like to mix in more recent covers of same, but these are all pretty sweet
	9:26am Krys O.: The Alloy Orchestra recorded the soundtrack to the restored version of Metropolis. Roger Miller of Mission of Burma is part of Alloy.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a fine word is Wurlitzer' ...jsut this side of onomatopoetic... Oh, Harpo plays & it's game over.
	9:28am Krys O.: Saw a 2019 documentary on movie palaces on TCM. It's ultimately very sad. @RR63: The British comedy troupe The Goons had an episode of their radio series called The Mighty Wurlitzer. It's hilarious.
	9:28am Handy Haversack: Reception right now clears up only when I touch the antenna. Webhamster Henry, my potato.
	9:29am Joe McG: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the show! Glad you could join me on this rainy morning.
	9:29am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Joe! Feel like I’m in the Overlook Hotel over here…
	9:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + Goons +
	9:30am The Oscar: @Krys O One of these days I have to catch an Alloy screening-- they play up here pretty regularly. I did see an old Douglas Fairbanks Zorro with a live organist in an old-fashioned 1920s theater in Maine, and it was magical.
	9:30am rx scabin: Married 8 times.
	9:31am McGroovey: This music was the soundtrack of my dad's shop after the machines went off at 5:00pm.
	9:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 8 - Artie ? No wonder he dropped out of ShowBiz.
	9:31am Colleen: Gasp!!
	9:31am Handy Haversack: I saw Nosferatu and The Thief of Baghdad with organ accompaniment years ago in Muskegon, MI. Great stuff.
	👻 9:31am Deano de los Muertos: I feel like I’m playing Fallout, listening to this set
	9:31am Miss G: Oh, Krys O, I will look for that Alloy Orchestra release. I'm trying to collect info on bands doing that kind of thing, nowadays.
	9:32am McGroovey: Artie was an ***hole.
	9:32am JeremyB: Will we get another set of music you don't like? Cause that was fun!
	9:32am dave wuz here: my prayer is sort of "our song", the missus and myself
	9:32am rx scabin: @McGroovey indeed.
	9:33am dano59: We have a historic theatre with a once-or-twice-a-year silent film with the ‘Mighty Marr & Colton’ Theatre Organ. And a regular piano accompanist and sometimes the Alloy Orchestra at the repertory cinema. Counting these blessings cos I hate the modern world (and saw Jonathan Richman Saturday, btw)
	9:33am Joe McG: @JeremyB: No, just music I like today!
	9:33am Miss G: In "How to Marry a Millionaire" that I watched last week, they make a joke with Betty Grable about Artie Shaw.
	9:33am The Oscar: Back in my record store days I'd always throw on the Ink Spots after dealing with a difficult customer. My blood pressure would come right down.
	9:34am Miss G: dave wuz here, I was just about to thank Joe for playing "Moonglow" because that was a special song in our home.
	9:34am Colleen: Yaaaaay! That was amazing!
	9:35am Prodigal Daughter: @dave wuz here: My Prayer is a true classic. You must know the version by the Platters. Congrats to you and the missus.
	9:35am dano59: Well, we got all the way up to the introduction of the VW bug
	9:35am TonyR: ::Chef's kiss:: for set #1
	👻 9:37am tadpoles: I've now got the urge to re watch "The Singing Detective" Joe.
	9:37am TonyR: I'mma sell my furniture and get in a breadline.
	9:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kong, Dracula, Frankenstein, Marx Bros. ...RobertJohnson ...TheWar ...Bop, Noir ...50s, 60s...
	9:38am TonyR: Billy Joel? Is that you?
	9:39am TonyR: Din't we have this fight for Y2K? 1940 is the last year of the decade!
	9:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if I prompted that 'BillyJoel' this day is ruined already...
	9:40am Miss G: L I was asleep for the first song and then woke up from a crazy dream to "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams."
	9:40am wind: ♥️♥️♥️
	9:42am Smacky: Wasn't the biopic about Frances Farmer?
	9:42am McGroovey: I ended up with my dad's record collection, which is jazz and pop music from the dawn of recording to Coltrane, with a strong emphasis on the big band era. I love that music, but I haven't really been able to listen to it since he died.
	9:44am Peter K.: Yes, as Smacky said, the movie "Frances" was about Frances Farmer. There has never been a movie about Frances Langford, because her life just wasn't all that interesting.
	9:44am Phillippe: howdy
	9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bittersweet McGroovey. ...Just looked up who Shaw hooked up with. Damn.
	9:44am Miss G: What a treasure McGroovey. I understand about your pause in that music, but in future years, I think you might really enjoy to listen to it.
	9:45am Roberto: My mom was in the Frances moobie.
	👻 9:46am Hughie Considine: I can still hear him saying he would never break the chain...
	9:46am PaulRobeson1922: Budwiser is a drug dealer
	👻 9:46am Will thee Sound Guy: Such a smooth tune tho
	9:47am Miss G: I'm going to copy and paste from imdb re: the lovely Frances Langford: <According to Bob Hope, the biggest laugh he ever heard from an audience occurred in 1944 at a USO show for young Marine troops on a remote South Pacific island. When Frances Langford sang the first line of her song, "I'm in the Mood for Love", a Marine in the audience stood up and shouted, "You've come to the right place, honey!". >
	9:47am Roberto: dum...dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum (bass solo)
	9:47am Joe McG: @Roberto: Cool! @Smacky: Thanks for correcting me! @Miss G: Great story!
	9:47am Andres: Good morning. I am awake but have not had a coffee yet. I appreciated the musical easing in.
	👻 9:48am Will thee Sound Guy: kinda has a Jackson Brown feel at times... some of the chord arraignments have me thinking of early Steely Dan as well.
	9:48am Roberto: Weird, 1940 sounds a lot like 2022.
	9:49am Brendan: I'm getting hints of Van Morrison and a strong Elvis Costello finish. All in all very full bodied.
	9:49am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies! Having my morning Joe before going to work
	9:50am βrian: Checking in from Madison.
	9:50am Son Of Pantz: Boz Skaggs?
	9:50am McGroovey: My dad wasn't a careful collector; he was a thrift-store shopper and an active listener, and a bit of a slob. All his records are crackly and dirty, and all the covers are damaged and have cigarette burns and drink glass rings. The CDs are scratched but somehow play, and their cases are broken and paint-spattered, and the inserts are damaged, because the CD player and the CDs were kept on the paint bench in his boat shop.
	9:50am mazudog: Allison
	9:50am JetBoy of Astoria: Hi all! I actually like the name Drugdealer, but that’s me. When I first heard it I thought for sure it was from the 70’s - they (he, mostly) really got the sound down
	9:51am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha!
	9:52am Joe McG: I agree with all of your Drugdealer refs! I'd throw Brinsley in there, too. :)
	9:53am mazudog: oops Alison
	9:53am Prodigal Daughter: This here love song puts me in mind of the Flying Burrito Bros.
	9:53am rx scabin: Thanks for the music, Joe. I must go to work.
	👻 9:54am Hughie Considine: My dad wasn't a slob but he wrote on the backs of his great jazz records, his name, the year, and later to indicate that he now had the song on CD. So track listings are marred with multiple "CD"s in red pen. Still, I covet his collection.
	9:54am Brendan: Just remember if you heard it in a love song, it can't be wrong.
	👻 9:54am yerfriendpaul: Yes!!! Love this Steely Dan tune
	9:55am Handy Haversack: Did everyone else know that some packing peanuts are made of starch and are biodegradable and that you can just dissolve them in the sink with water? This is brand-new info for me.
	9:55am Miss G: McGroovey, I love the description of your late father's collection, well used and well loved! In our house, my guy really enjoyed picking up a record that someone had written on, their love note or thoughts or whatever.
	9:58am zydeco Phil: Here’s to Louisiana!
	9:59am prudy: Good day all: enjoying the stories of inherited records...of the hours of joy relatives experienced listening to their favorites...
	9:59am zydeco Phil: Yes Handy, some are biodegradable these days, finally
	10:00am steveo: my father got a really nice stereo in 1980, kids not allowed to touch it, and almost never touched it himself, as far as I could tell. Nowadays he seems to mostly listen to one of the decade musi channels on cable tv. So I'm a chip off the old block, except my cable box is stuck on 91.1
	10:00am Mike Sin: Hey Joe -- I do indeed try to listen to your show every week, and I'm working, so I'm wide awake. My little kitty kat often falls asleep though... he's usually been running up the walls all night.
	10:02am Joe McG: Always nice to know you're out there, Mike! I think my show is good for cat naps. :)
	👻 10:02am John L: In my half sleep I thought that Pearl Of The Quarter was a cover of In A Station by The Band. The first line has a similar cadence.
	10:03am Phillippe: @Handy Try making your own packing peanut butter!
	10:04am PJ: I was thinking, this sounds like Dr. John, but not '70s Dr. John.
	10:06am Joe McG: Sending this one out to everyone who wants to go back to bed....
	10:07am love2laf: Cheers Joe, exactly the encouragement I need right now to go back to bed, and fight this cold with sleep.
	10:07am Krys O.: Can't stop yawning. No reflection on the music, of course.
	10:08am βrian: We're at "peak maple" again. It's going to be a lovely day. imgur.com...
	10:08am Joe McG: @love2laf: Feel better!
	10:10am ?: Bed...here I come
	10:11am PigeonsAndRust: @Handy I had a biology teacher in high school who had a big bowl of packing peanuts on his desk and would eat them like popcorn. Of course, he'd check them first with iodine to make sure they were the starchy kind, but you can kind of tell after a while based on the texture. They are very bland, unsurprisingly. Fun fact: those pens to detect fake money are just iodine looking for starch. Print your counterfeits on linen paper and they'll pass
	10:13am Yes: good morning
	10:14am Mister Dobalina: Counterfeiting tips, brought to you by the wonderful listeners, on the greatest radio station on earth!
	👻 10:15am Webhamster Henry: AUTOHARP ALERT!
	10:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was actually gonna joke about that sounding like LouReed in early days be all Folky...
	10:18am Handy Haversack: PAR: the cats definitely IDed them as edible! Hope listener Hydroplane is, er, listening for Hydroplane!
	10:19am prudy: this Hydroplane is so wonderfully mellow...thank you Joe..
	10:20am Miss G: Oh, I remember this, Hydroplane. Glad it's more available now.
	10:20am Miss G: And yes, Handy, I did not know that re: some packing peanuts. I was about to yell at a young lady for sending me something with too many peanuts to save, but maybe she uses those, I’ll ask.
	10:25am Handy Haversack: Miss G, apparently you can test them by running them under water -- if they dissolve, they're the starch kind. I dissolved the whole bunch of 'em!
	10:28am Roberto: Handles, mind = bloan
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...then the problem of animals in the environment being fat & lethargic from too much starch...
	10:29am Miss G: Wowie wow wow! That junk just completely dissolved! Thank you HH! My apartment is not big enough, to save and re-use packing peanuts!
	10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho their clothes don't wrinkle & their frypans don't stick...
	10:29am Phillippe: Insulin costs too much to have to start sharing it with squirrels, RR
	👻 10:31am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Morning Joe McG, all! Tired -- friend had a 60th Bday party last night; I got to cosplay as an adult and rub shoulders with fancy folk in a very bougie part of Cobble Hill. Had a blast but I am TIRED!
	10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Phillippe - they forget where they buried it anyhow.
	👻 10:33am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: @HH and Miss G The other issue with keeping around the starch type -- rodents love em.
	10:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: See.
	10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho if you need to thicken up a recipe...
	10:36am Handy Haversack: Roberto, yo tambien!
	10:36am Miss G: Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜oh, you really deserved/needed that fun! So glad! (& thanks re; warning of starchy objects!)
	👻 10:37am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: @HH I would be careful dissolving all of those in the sink; I can see starch goo eventually gumming up the pipes/attracting drain flies...
	10:38am Phillippe: good point RR
	10:38am Joe M: Please, just no Neil Diamond. Lovelight has been “earworming” Me since last week.
	10:39am Miss G: Joe M. I also got an earworm but I can't even let myself think of it. LA LA LA LA
	10:40am Joe McG: @Joe M: Sorry about that, Joe!
	👻 10:40am Will thee Sound Guy: I've gotta cut out, I'll be listening on the radio 📻 🎶 be well everyone!!! Thank you Joe McG in advance!
	10:40am Son Of Pantz: "Street Fighting Man"?
	10:40am ?: Shoot a hole in it, grandpa!
	10:41am dano59: Just lie back and think of … Brinsley Schwarz
	10:41am Phillippe: We have three sons, and when the youngest was little someone gifted us a set of little biodegradable "targets" to put in the toilet to encourage better aim when he was learning how to pee standing up. I bet the biodegradable peanuts could serve the same purpose.
	10:41am Joe M: Steets of fire? 😳
	10:42am dano59: Tears on My Pillow
	10:42am Steve from Dunwoody: Shoot a hole in it again, Grandpa!
	10:42am The Oscar: Really hoping next will be "Tears of a Clown," just because I'm curious to hear Joe's pick beginning with "Clown."
	10:43am FletcherNYC: So what it’s worth Matching Outfits, it seems, is based in Berlin, but maybe Scandinavian??
	10:43am Steve from Dunwoody: Clown strike! (but it couldn't be a 45)
	10:44am The Oscar: "Falling (Theme from Twin Peaks)!"
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good to hear Youngbloods not the Hit. BobBrainen spotlighted them...
	10:44am Handy Haversack: Phillippe, I'm already pretty good at getting it in the bowl, but a little practice never hurt anyone!
	10:44am Matt Fiveash: Hoping against the odds that you have "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys on 45.
	10:44am Listener Scott: I'm still over here working out the copyright term question Joe raised early on about the ASV/Living Era set. My understanding is that UK and the US treat the copyright terms of sound recordings differently (by a whopping 50+ years--the US gives 100 years for anything in that opening set, the UK 50 years from creation for pre-1963 works (it's now 70 years, but when ASV/Living was publishing it was 50)).
	10:45am Joe McG: I wish I had the "Street Fighting Man" 45 with the picture sleeve! I'd be rich! :)
	10:45am Listener Scott: That is how, I guess, those works were able to be republished in the UK on the presumption of having fallen into the public domain. E.g., 1939 + 50 = 1989, thus in 1992 ASV/Living can release in the UK.
	10:45am Listener Scott: However: (1) the original recordings in that first set likely enjoy US copyright protection; and (2) the UK and US are signatories to the Berne Convention (US entering in 1989), meaning that the UK was more or less compelled to recognize the longer US copyright terms for those US sound recording copyrights. Meaning that ASV/Living was always on weak legal footing. And that's perhaps why they no longer exist.
	10:46am Miss G: (loving the chain game) Has everyone seen the specials this week?! And I don't have much time, what shall I do? Just note them for future I guess. Noon "In the Hall of the Mountain King" that was my favorite song when I was very little. wfmu.org...
	10:46am Steve from Dunwoody: Thanks @ListenerScott.
	10:46am Joe McG: @MattFiveash: The 45 I'm playing instead is just an illusion.
	10:47am Joe McG: @Scott: Interesting! Thanks for investigating.
	10:47am Mister Dobalina: It started at 9am!
	10:48am Mike Sin: I think that in 1969 folks were listening to this Illusion track back to back with "Worst That Could Happen" by the Brooklyn Bridge!
	10:48am Joe McG: I'd just like to remind anyone who is not enjoying the music today that they have no obligation to listen. There are 3 other WFMU streams you can listen to.
	10:49am Listener Scott: Except me. I'm self-obligated.
	10:49am Phillippe: @handy I know, right?
	10:50am johnk77: i just learned recently that the yamaha corporation started as a manufacturer of reed organs before creating the first pianos made in japan
	10:50am Roberto: Joe, if we didn't tune out during last week's shite singles segment, we won't be tuning out now!
	10:51am Roberto: Also, sometimes shite music is good music!
	10:51am Joe M: “….Yesterday” or “….so”. Hmmm
	10:51am morphe': Was/were there complaints??? William Berger: "If ya don't like it, change the station..."
	10:51am Son Of Pantz: Some folks just like to complain.
	10:51am Jack: I had that first Illusion album. Can't remember anything on it, though...
	10:52am Roberto: I like to complain...about how great WFMU is!
	10:52am love2laf: I am happy to say I'm very much enjoying the show today, it's the perfect companion to nursing my cold. Thanks Joe.
	10:52am Krys O.: I never heard Wyatt's cover.
	10:52am Jack McGuire: Fay Fife really coulda been in the Shangri Las.
	10:52am herb.nyc: Pat me on the back, I just hellraise-pledged! Shangri-La song reminded me of a wedding toast I read in nytimes, “may today be the day you love each other the least”
	👻 10:53am Brian in UK: Love the Chris Andrews' original Yesterday Man. He wrote some early Sandie Shaw hits.
	10:53am Roberto: I think there's also an unwritten rule that the more you donate to WFMU, the more you get to complain.
	👻 10:53am pgalub: Hey Joe and everyone. Please DON'T play Shania Twain "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" I know you're tempted.
	10:53am Son Of Pantz: Raise some hell @herb.nyc!!!
	10:54am Joe McG: @Herb: Pat pat pat
	👻 10:54am tadpoles: Thanks for the time and effort you put into this Joe...very neat!
	10:55am Jason from Houston: Niiiiiice...
	10:55am Jason from Houston: LOL
	10:56am Brendan: Oh, this is good
	10:56am Joe McG: @tadpoles: It's a fun game!
	10:57am FletcherNYC: We’ve all been there
	10:57am Jason from Houston: Did he say "shituation" in there? Is this a new term?
	👻 10:59am Karl Ward: That slapback is freaking me out
	👻 10:59am Webhamster Henry: uh-oh - infinite playlist chain loop is possible. ∞⛓🎶
	11:00am Krys O.: Dancing at my desk!!!!
	11:00am asheville jon: Tom Jones! Yeah!!
	11:01am Son Of Pantz: I just threw my underwear at the radio!
	11:01am Miss G: Remembering the bootleg VHS we bought at WFMU record fair with Very Young Tom Jones on it, and, ooh la la!
	11:02am Joe McG: OK, one more and I'll end the chain....
	11:02am morphe': There is an annual "thing" to slightly change an existing word to create a new term ... one Fav "Ignoranus" = a person who is both ignorant and an asshole ... thinking of "Ignoranuses" who feel the need to slag djs when they could just change the station...
	11:03am JeremyB: KEEP THE CHAIN GOING FOREVER!
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One thing about 'good music' ...it's the museum / gallery it hangs in, not just the painting. Context in other words. We want to believe our aesthetic has absolutes. The evidence may argue against this. Certainly there are (truly) outstandingly curated Genre Programs on FMU - but so much of this station is about this phenomenon...
	11:04am Jason from Houston: I'll throw my underwear for the Mo-Dettes.
	👻 11:04am Hughie Considine: Tom Jones followed by the Mo-Dettes is kind of a classic only-on-WFMU moment.
	11:04am Roberto: WFMU is Context Radio.
	👻 11:05am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: I love this chain idea! If this is followed by Bowie's duet with Tina Turner on his version of "Tonight" I may just faint from happiness..
	11:07am MM: loving the show today Joe!
	👻 11:07am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: @Miss G now I am getting all sentimental RE the first WFMU Record Fair that I went to, which was ages ago. It was a sort-of date with a guy who I never really clicked with but he had GREAT taste in music. I remember showing up early to see the Krautrock mini-show of ancient VHS tapes of Neubauten, Kraftwerk, etc. He wound up getting married at a Gogol Bordello concert (yes really) a few years later.
	11:08am The Oscar: The complete chain: Naturally Stoned Love Goes to a Building on Fire Fly at Night and Daybreak My Mind Games People Play with Fire in My Street of Tears Are Falling in Love You More than Yesterday Man to Woman Love Me Tonight
	11:13am Alvy Singer: @The Oscar--Good stuff right there. Would that track have been sung by Olivia Newton John Boy George Michael Jackon Browne?
	11:17am Joe McG: @Oscar: Thanks for the complete chain, Oscar!
	11:18am Miss G: Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 great story! Well, I guess SM Ken will tell us tonight, if there can be a Record Fair this year!
	11:20am Son Of Pantz: I see there are a few weak links on the comments board. My guess is they are all the same person and started drinking early.
	👻 11:22am Webhamster Henry: This is certainly Shebang-y!
	👻 11:22am Karl Ward: Listening to WFMU on Handy Haversack mode = listening to all of the streams simultaneously
	11:23am herb.nyc: (Aside- after hellraising, I just donated to THE PARKSIDE SCHOOL, a non profit. It has about 80 neurodiverse special ed students)
	👻 11:23am Webhamster Henry: @Threemoons: I was at the Elks Club Rec Fair and spent all my cash except for a dollar to take the PATH train back.
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Karl, at some point soon, I should achieve apotheosis. Likely during the next prog segment.
	👻 11:25am Webhamster Henry: This set is very Laurie Spiegel / Steve Reich Friendly.
	11:27am TonyR: I strayed to streaming, and am now listening to Ella Fitzgerald singing "Sunshine of Your Love" (yes, THAT one.)
	11:27am herb.nyc: @threemoons, nice story. I miss the Washington St walk, past the elk, to go to Maxwell’s. On cold days, that was a loooong walk.
	11:28am TonyR: [Missing single File was clearly my loss today.]
	11:28am Joe McG: @Henry: Apparently the Bajas used some of Laurie S.'s computer software for this track.
	11:29am βrian: M'likes!
	11:34am Yes: this record keeps giving
	11:34am morphe': Before 9/11 - there were silent movie screenings in the tall glass waterside section of the WTC with live bands ... most notable was Cabinet of Dr Caligari with the Club Foot Orchestra and Metropolis with Gamelon ...
	11:40am morphe': For future Reference: Club Foot Orchestra performs The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvOpYfCQGNs

	👻 11:47am chresti: Hi again! At the tennis booth..
	11:48am Carmichael: Don't get beaned, chresti!
	11:50am morphe': Thanks Joe McG and all...

	11:51am βrian: Irene will be riding the thermals over on the Drummer Stream, if that interests ya. wfmu.org...
	👻 11:52am chresti: I missed the chain chain chainnnn, chain of sooongs..
	11:52am Handy Haversack: And would you look at the time? Seems like mere moments ago we were Yipping away, 1930s-style. Many thanks, Joe! Stay on top, Surfactants!
	👻 11:53am 12539: Thank you Mr McGasko!

	9:30am The Oscar: @Krys O One of these days I have to catch an Alloy screening-- they play up here pretty regularly. I did see an old Douglas Fairbanks Zorro with a live organist in an old-fashioned 1920s theater in Maine, and it was magical.

	9:32am rx scabin: @McGroovey indeed.
	9:33am dano59: We have a historic theatre with a once-or-twice-a-year silent film with the ‘Mighty Marr & Colton’ Theatre Organ. And a regular piano accompanist and sometimes the Alloy Orchestra at the repertory cinema. Counting these blessings cos I hate the modern world (and saw Jonathan Richman Saturday, btw)
	9:33am Joe McG: @JeremyB: No, just music I like today!
	9:33am Miss G: In "How to Marry a Millionaire" that I watched last week, they make a joke with Betty Grable about Artie Shaw.
	9:33am The Oscar: Back in my record store days I'd always throw on the Ink Spots after dealing with a difficult customer. My blood pressure would come right down.

	9:38am TonyR: Billy Joel? Is that you?
	9:39am TonyR: Din't we have this fight for Y2K? 1940 is the last year of the decade!
	9:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if I prompted that 'BillyJoel' this day is ruined already...
	9:40am Miss G: L I was asleep for the first song and then woke up from a crazy dream to "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams."
	9:40am wind: ♥️♥️♥️
	9:42am Smacky: Wasn't the biopic about Frances Farmer?
	9:42am McGroovey: I ended up with my dad's record collection, which is jazz and pop music from the dawn of recording to Coltrane, with a strong emphasis on the big band era. I love that music, but I haven't really been able to listen to it since he died.
	9:44am Peter K.: Yes, as Smacky said, the movie "Frances" was about Frances Farmer. There has never been a movie about Frances Langford, because her life just wasn't all that interesting.
	9:44am Phillippe: howdy
	9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bittersweet McGroovey. ...Just looked up who Shaw hooked up with. Damn.
	9:44am Miss G: What a treasure McGroovey. I understand about your pause in that music, but in future years, I think you might really enjoy to listen to it.

	👻 9:46am Hughie Considine: I can still hear him saying he would never break the chain...
	9:46am PaulRobeson1922: Budwiser is a drug dealer
	👻 9:46am Will thee Sound Guy: Such a smooth tune tho
	9:47am Miss G: I'm going to copy and paste from imdb re: the lovely Frances Langford: <According to Bob Hope, the biggest laugh he ever heard from an audience occurred in 1944 at a USO show for young Marine troops on a remote South Pacific island. When Frances Langford sang the first line of her song, "I'm in the Mood for Love", a Marine in the audience stood up and shouted, "You've come to the right place, honey!". >
	9:47am Roberto: dum...dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum (bass solo)
	9:47am Joe McG: @Roberto: Cool! @Smacky: Thanks for correcting me! @Miss G: Great story!
	9:47am Andres: Good morning. I am awake but have not had a coffee yet. I appreciated the musical easing in.
	👻 9:48am Will thee Sound Guy: kinda has a Jackson Brown feel at times... some of the chord arraignments have me thinking of early Steely Dan as well.
	9:48am Roberto: Weird, 1940 sounds a lot like 2022.
	9:49am Brendan: I'm getting hints of Van Morrison and a strong Elvis Costello finish. All in all very full bodied.
	9:49am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies! Having my morning Joe before going to work
	9:50am βrian: Checking in from Madison.
	9:50am Son Of Pantz: Boz Skaggs?
	9:50am McGroovey: My dad wasn't a careful collector; he was a thrift-store shopper and an active listener, and a bit of a slob. All his records are crackly and dirty, and all the covers are damaged and have cigarette burns and drink glass rings. The CDs are scratched but somehow play, and their cases are broken and paint-spattered, and the inserts are damaged, because the CD player and the CDs were kept on the paint bench in his boat shop.
	9:50am mazudog: Allison
	9:50am JetBoy of Astoria: Hi all! I actually like the name Drugdealer, but that’s me. When I first heard it I thought for sure it was from the 70’s - they (he, mostly) really got the sound down
	9:51am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha!
	9:52am Joe McG: I agree with all of your Drugdealer refs! I'd throw Brinsley in there, too. :)
	9:53am mazudog: oops Alison
	9:53am Prodigal Daughter: This here love song puts me in mind of the Flying Burrito Bros.
	9:53am rx scabin: Thanks for the music, Joe. I must go to work.
	👻 9:54am Hughie Considine: My dad wasn't a slob but he wrote on the backs of his great jazz records, his name, the year, and later to indicate that he now had the song on CD. So track listings are marred with multiple "CD"s in red pen. Still, I covet his collection.
	9:54am Brendan: Just remember if you heard it in a love song, it can't be wrong.
	👻 9:54am yerfriendpaul: Yes!!! Love this Steely Dan tune
	9:55am Handy Haversack: Did everyone else know that some packing peanuts are made of starch and are biodegradable and that you can just dissolve them in the sink with water? This is brand-new info for me.
	9:55am Miss G: McGroovey, I love the description of your late father's collection, well used and well loved! In our house, my guy really enjoyed picking up a record that someone had written on, their love note or thoughts or whatever.
	9:58am zydeco Phil: Here’s to Louisiana!
	9:59am prudy: Good day all: enjoying the stories of inherited records...of the hours of joy relatives experienced listening to their favorites...
	9:59am zydeco Phil: Yes Handy, some are biodegradable these days, finally
	10:00am steveo: my father got a really nice stereo in 1980, kids not allowed to touch it, and almost never touched it himself, as far as I could tell. Nowadays he seems to mostly listen to one of the decade musi channels on cable tv. So I'm a chip off the old block, except my cable box is stuck on 91.1
	10:00am Mike Sin: Hey Joe -- I do indeed try to listen to your show every week, and I'm working, so I'm wide awake. My little kitty kat often falls asleep though... he's usually been running up the walls all night.
	10:02am Joe McG: Always nice to know you're out there, Mike! I think my show is good for cat naps. :)
	👻 10:02am John L: In my half sleep I thought that Pearl Of The Quarter was a cover of In A Station by The Band. The first line has a similar cadence.
	10:03am Phillippe: @Handy Try making your own packing peanut butter!
	10:04am PJ: I was thinking, this sounds like Dr. John, but not '70s Dr. John.
	10:06am Joe McG: Sending this one out to everyone who wants to go back to bed....
	10:07am love2laf: Cheers Joe, exactly the encouragement I need right now to go back to bed, and fight this cold with sleep.
	10:07am Krys O.: Can't stop yawning. No reflection on the music, of course.
	10:08am βrian: We're at "peak maple" again. It's going to be a lovely day. imgur.com...
	10:08am Joe McG: @love2laf: Feel better!
	10:10am ?: Bed...here I come
	10:11am PigeonsAndRust: @Handy I had a biology teacher in high school who had a big bowl of packing peanuts on his desk and would eat them like popcorn. Of course, he'd check them first with iodine to make sure they were the starchy kind, but you can kind of tell after a while based on the texture. They are very bland, unsurprisingly. Fun fact: those pens to detect fake money are just iodine looking for starch. Print your counterfeits on linen paper and they'll pass
	10:13am Yes: good morning
	10:14am Mister Dobalina: Counterfeiting tips, brought to you by the wonderful listeners, on the greatest radio station on earth!
	👻 10:15am Webhamster Henry: AUTOHARP ALERT!
	10:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was actually gonna joke about that sounding like LouReed in early days be all Folky...
	10:18am Handy Haversack: PAR: the cats definitely IDed them as edible! Hope listener Hydroplane is, er, listening for Hydroplane!
	10:19am prudy: this Hydroplane is so wonderfully mellow...thank you Joe..
	10:20am Miss G: Oh, I remember this, Hydroplane. Glad it's more available now.
	10:20am Miss G: And yes, Handy, I did not know that re: some packing peanuts. I was about to yell at a young lady for sending me something with too many peanuts to save, but maybe she uses those, I’ll ask.
	10:25am Handy Haversack: Miss G, apparently you can test them by running them under water -- if they dissolve, they're the starch kind. I dissolved the whole bunch of 'em!
	10:28am Roberto: Handles, mind = bloan
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...then the problem of animals in the environment being fat & lethargic from too much starch...
	10:29am Miss G: Wowie wow wow! That junk just completely dissolved! Thank you HH! My apartment is not big enough, to save and re-use packing peanuts!
	10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho their clothes don't wrinkle & their frypans don't stick...
	10:29am Phillippe: Insulin costs too much to have to start sharing it with squirrels, RR
	👻 10:31am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Morning Joe McG, all! Tired -- friend had a 60th Bday party last night; I got to cosplay as an adult and rub shoulders with fancy folk in a very bougie part of Cobble Hill. Had a blast but I am TIRED!
	10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Phillippe - they forget where they buried it anyhow.
	👻 10:33am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: @HH and Miss G The other issue with keeping around the starch type -- rodents love em.
	10:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: See.
	10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho if you need to thicken up a recipe...
	10:36am Handy Haversack: Roberto, yo tambien!
	10:36am Miss G: Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜oh, you really deserved/needed that fun! So glad! (& thanks re; warning of starchy objects!)
	👻 10:37am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: @HH I would be careful dissolving all of those in the sink; I can see starch goo eventually gumming up the pipes/attracting drain flies...
	10:38am Phillippe: good point RR
	10:38am Joe M: Please, just no Neil Diamond. Lovelight has been “earworming” Me since last week.
	10:39am Miss G: Joe M. I also got an earworm but I can't even let myself think of it. LA LA LA LA
	10:40am Joe McG: @Joe M: Sorry about that, Joe!
	👻 10:40am Will thee Sound Guy: I've gotta cut out, I'll be listening on the radio 📻 🎶 be well everyone!!! Thank you Joe McG in advance!
	10:40am Son Of Pantz: "Street Fighting Man"?
	10:40am ?: Shoot a hole in it, grandpa!
	10:41am dano59: Just lie back and think of … Brinsley Schwarz
	10:41am Phillippe: We have three sons, and when the youngest was little someone gifted us a set of little biodegradable "targets" to put in the toilet to encourage better aim when he was learning how to pee standing up. I bet the biodegradable peanuts could serve the same purpose.
	10:41am Joe M: Steets of fire? 😳
	10:42am dano59: Tears on My Pillow
	10:42am Steve from Dunwoody: Shoot a hole in it again, Grandpa!
	10:42am The Oscar: Really hoping next will be "Tears of a Clown," just because I'm curious to hear Joe's pick beginning with "Clown."
	10:43am FletcherNYC: So what it’s worth Matching Outfits, it seems, is based in Berlin, but maybe Scandinavian??
	10:43am Steve from Dunwoody: Clown strike! (but it couldn't be a 45)
	10:44am The Oscar: "Falling (Theme from Twin Peaks)!"
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good to hear Youngbloods not the Hit. BobBrainen spotlighted them...
	10:44am Handy Haversack: Phillippe, I'm already pretty good at getting it in the bowl, but a little practice never hurt anyone!
	10:44am Matt Fiveash: Hoping against the odds that you have "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys on 45.
	10:44am Listener Scott: I'm still over here working out the copyright term question Joe raised early on about the ASV/Living Era set. My understanding is that UK and the US treat the copyright terms of sound recordings differently (by a whopping 50+ years--the US gives 100 years for anything in that opening set, the UK 50 years from creation for pre-1963 works (it's now 70 years, but when ASV/Living was publishing it was 50)).
	10:45am Joe McG: I wish I had the "Street Fighting Man" 45 with the picture sleeve! I'd be rich! :)
	10:45am Listener Scott: That is how, I guess, those works were able to be republished in the UK on the presumption of having fallen into the public domain. E.g., 1939 + 50 = 1989, thus in 1992 ASV/Living can release in the UK.
	10:45am Listener Scott: However: (1) the original recordings in that first set likely enjoy US copyright protection; and (2) the UK and US are signatories to the Berne Convention (US entering in 1989), meaning that the UK was more or less compelled to recognize the longer US copyright terms for those US sound recording copyrights. Meaning that ASV/Living was always on weak legal footing. And that's perhaps why they no longer exist.
	10:46am Miss G: (loving the chain game) Has everyone seen the specials this week?! And I don't have much time, what shall I do? Just note them for future I guess. Noon "In the Hall of the Mountain King" that was my favorite song when I was very little. wfmu.org...
	10:46am Steve from Dunwoody: Thanks @ListenerScott.
	10:46am Joe McG: @MattFiveash: The 45 I'm playing instead is just an illusion.
	10:47am Joe McG: @Scott: Interesting! Thanks for investigating.
	10:47am Mister Dobalina: It started at 9am!
	10:48am Mike Sin: I think that in 1969 folks were listening to this Illusion track back to back with "Worst That Could Happen" by the Brooklyn Bridge!
	10:48am Joe McG: I'd just like to remind anyone who is not enjoying the music today that they have no obligation to listen. There are 3 other WFMU streams you can listen to.
	10:49am Listener Scott: Except me. I'm self-obligated.
	10:49am Phillippe: @handy I know, right?
	10:50am johnk77: i just learned recently that the yamaha corporation started as a manufacturer of reed organs before creating the first pianos made in japan
	10:50am Roberto: Joe, if we didn't tune out during last week's shite singles segment, we won't be tuning out now!
	10:51am Roberto: Also, sometimes shite music is good music!
	10:51am Joe M: “….Yesterday” or “….so”. Hmmm
	10:51am morphe': Was/were there complaints??? William Berger: "If ya don't like it, change the station..."
	10:51am Son Of Pantz: Some folks just like to complain.
	10:51am Jack: I had that first Illusion album. Can't remember anything on it, though...
	10:52am Roberto: I like to complain...about how great WFMU is!
	10:52am love2laf: I am happy to say I'm very much enjoying the show today, it's the perfect companion to nursing my cold. Thanks Joe.
	10:52am Krys O.: I never heard Wyatt's cover.
	10:52am Jack McGuire: Fay Fife really coulda been in the Shangri Las.
	10:52am herb.nyc: Pat me on the back, I just hellraise-pledged! Shangri-La song reminded me of a wedding toast I read in nytimes, “may today be the day you love each other the least”
	👻 10:53am Brian in UK: Love the Chris Andrews' original Yesterday Man. He wrote some early Sandie Shaw hits.
	10:53am Roberto: I think there's also an unwritten rule that the more you donate to WFMU, the more you get to complain.
	👻 10:53am pgalub: Hey Joe and everyone. Please DON'T play Shania Twain "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" I know you're tempted.
	10:53am Son Of Pantz: Raise some hell @herb.nyc!!!
	10:54am Joe McG: @Herb: Pat pat pat
	👻 10:54am tadpoles: Thanks for the time and effort you put into this Joe...very neat!
	10:55am Jason from Houston: Niiiiiice...
	10:55am Jason from Houston: LOL
	10:56am Brendan: Oh, this is good
	10:56am Joe McG: @tadpoles: It's a fun game!
	10:57am FletcherNYC: We’ve all been there
	10:57am Jason from Houston: Did he say "shituation" in there? Is this a new term?
	👻 10:59am Karl Ward: That slapback is freaking me out
	👻 10:59am Webhamster Henry: uh-oh - infinite playlist chain loop is possible. ∞⛓🎶
	11:00am Krys O.: Dancing at my desk!!!!
	11:00am asheville jon: Tom Jones! Yeah!!
	11:01am Son Of Pantz: I just threw my underwear at the radio!
	11:01am Miss G: Remembering the bootleg VHS we bought at WFMU record fair with Very Young Tom Jones on it, and, ooh la la!
	11:02am Joe McG: OK, one more and I'll end the chain....
	11:02am morphe': There is an annual "thing" to slightly change an existing word to create a new term ... one Fav "Ignoranus" = a person who is both ignorant and an asshole ... thinking of "Ignoranuses" who feel the need to slag djs when they could just change the station...
	11:03am JeremyB: KEEP THE CHAIN GOING FOREVER!
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One thing about 'good music' ...it's the museum / gallery it hangs in, not just the painting. Context in other words. We want to believe our aesthetic has absolutes. The evidence may argue against this. Certainly there are (truly) outstandingly curated Genre Programs on FMU - but so much of this station is about this phenomenon...
	11:04am Jason from Houston: I'll throw my underwear for the Mo-Dettes.
	👻 11:04am Hughie Considine: Tom Jones followed by the Mo-Dettes is kind of a classic only-on-WFMU moment.
	11:04am Roberto: WFMU is Context Radio.
	👻 11:05am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: I love this chain idea! If this is followed by Bowie's duet with Tina Turner on his version of "Tonight" I may just faint from happiness..
	11:07am MM: loving the show today Joe!
	👻 11:07am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: @Miss G now I am getting all sentimental RE the first WFMU Record Fair that I went to, which was ages ago. It was a sort-of date with a guy who I never really clicked with but he had GREAT taste in music. I remember showing up early to see the Krautrock mini-show of ancient VHS tapes of Neubauten, Kraftwerk, etc. He wound up getting married at a Gogol Bordello concert (yes really) a few years later.
	11:08am The Oscar: The complete chain: Naturally Stoned Love Goes to a Building on Fire Fly at Night and Daybreak My Mind Games People Play with Fire in My Street of Tears Are Falling in Love You More than Yesterday Man to Woman Love Me Tonight
	11:13am Alvy Singer: @The Oscar--Good stuff right there. Would that track have been sung by Olivia Newton John Boy George Michael Jackon Browne?
	11:17am Joe McG: @Oscar: Thanks for the complete chain, Oscar!
	11:18am Miss G: Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 great story! Well, I guess SM Ken will tell us tonight, if there can be a Record Fair this year!
	11:20am Son Of Pantz: I see there are a few weak links on the comments board. My guess is they are all the same person and started drinking early.
	👻 11:22am Webhamster Henry: This is certainly Shebang-y!
	👻 11:22am Karl Ward: Listening to WFMU on Handy Haversack mode = listening to all of the streams simultaneously
	11:23am herb.nyc: (Aside- after hellraising, I just donated to THE PARKSIDE SCHOOL, a non profit. It has about 80 neurodiverse special ed students)
	👻 11:23am Webhamster Henry: @Threemoons: I was at the Elks Club Rec Fair and spent all my cash except for a dollar to take the PATH train back.
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Karl, at some point soon, I should achieve apotheosis. Likely during the next prog segment.
	👻 11:25am Webhamster Henry: This set is very Laurie Spiegel / Steve Reich Friendly.
	11:27am TonyR: I strayed to streaming, and am now listening to Ella Fitzgerald singing "Sunshine of Your Love" (yes, THAT one.)
	11:27am herb.nyc: @threemoons, nice story. I miss the Washington St walk, past the elk, to go to Maxwell’s. On cold days, that was a loooong walk.
	11:28am TonyR: [Missing single File was clearly my loss today.]
	11:28am Joe McG: @Henry: Apparently the Bajas used some of Laurie S.'s computer software for this track.
	11:29am βrian: M'likes!
	11:34am Yes: this record keeps giving
	11:34am morphe': Before 9/11 - there were silent movie screenings in the tall glass waterside section of the WTC with live bands ... most notable was Cabinet of Dr Caligari with the Club Foot Orchestra and Metropolis with Gamelon ...
	11:40am morphe': For future Reference: Club Foot Orchestra performs The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvOpYfCQGNs
	11:45am LiXiviated Life: I want it all, and I want it pumpkin spiced.
	11:47am Miss G: Thank you morphe'! (went out into the astral plane with this set and didn't even open the newspaper yet today! <G>)
	11:47am Carmichael: Super late Heya Joe and listeners. Interesting chain idea.
	👻 11:47am chresti: Hi again! At the tennis booth..
	11:48am Carmichael: Don't get beaned, chresti!
	11:50am morphe': Thanks Joe McG and all...
	👻 11:50am chresti: Thanks Carmichael, I'm more afraid of golfballs flying over than tennis balls.
	11:50am Yes: great soundtrack for watching leaves fall
	11:51am Handy Haversack: Oh, nice, Joe. I missed getting this on cassette. Sounds great.
	11:51am βrian: Irene will be riding the thermals over on the Drummer Stream, if that interests ya. wfmu.org...
	👻 11:52am chresti: I missed the chain chain chainnnn, chain of sooongs..
	11:52am Handy Haversack: And would you look at the time? Seems like mere moments ago we were Yipping away, 1930s-style. Many thanks, Joe! Stay on top, Surfactants!
	👻 11:53am 12539: Thank you Mr McGasko!
	👻 11:53am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting today, folks, and thanks for supporting WFMU. Stay tuned for Three Chord Monte!
	11:54am Brendan: Thanks, Mr. Joe
	11:55am Carmichael: Robert Lester Folsom is a Godsend through time to us all. Thanks to whoever found the LP!
	11:55am Miss G: Thanks so much for a great Monday morning Joe McG! (chresti, have a good day at the tennis booth!)
	11:55am Phillippe: Great show, Joe! Loved every minute of it! And remember, anonymous complaints are only about 20% worthwhile. That's what, a 2 out of 10 value?
	👻 11:55am dakfinch: Yeah, Adel Ga in the house.
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JoeMcG ~

	5:33pm SamTheRam: Wonderful show, I don't know why I did this but I thought I'd share. This is your singles going steady set list without repeating the first word of the titles of each song, other than the first.
