	9:36am Brendan: Aloha kakahiaka, Joe

	9:51am Mxter Baba: ↳ chresti in el sobrante @9:50 chrestikins! I just got a flood warning to not go out for the next three hours. I guess it's cheese and crackers for breakfast.
	9:52am KC Sonoma,CA: Nothin’ but flooding rains and hunkering down here. What soothing sounds to wake up to today! Sipping a good ol’ cup of coffee and scrambling eggs to WFMU❤️ Grateful to Jim Valavanis,local Sonoma tattoo artist who told me about his favorite radio station!!!
	9:52am Joe McG: ↳ Steve from Dunwoody @9:49 And waltzing, I'm sure!

	9:53am melinda: I'm about to scramble some eggs too
	9:53am pot8o: good morning everyone!
	9:53am bradford: ↳ Song: "You Are Everything" by "Joe Goldmark" love this!
	👻 9:54am HeidiPat: These twangy covers are cracking me up.
	9:54am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Rene" by "Michael Nesmith Featuring Red Rhodes" Red Rhodes was an incredible player.
	👻 9:55am Yetz: ↳ melinda @9:53 just finished eating my scrambled eggs. with onion, on a tortilla, with some homemade hot sauce & a little smoked cheese. Yum!
	👻 9:55am chresti in el sobrante: ↳ Mxter Baba @9:51 I'm stocked up with cheese and ACME walnut cranberry bread.
	👻 9:56am Yetz: tompkins square just released a really neat comp. of modern pedal steel, "chrome universal", this has been getting a lot of play here at the yeti cave: aquariumdrunkard.com...
	9:57am D Rok: Excellent set! Love a pedal steel.
	9:57am Steve from Dunwoody: On the road, well pulled over, with a Wendy’s sausage gravy biscuit. Not bad. Tunes make it all good.
	9:58am melinda: ↳ Yetz @9:55 mm. I put cheese in mine too
	👻 9:59am chresti in el sobrante: ↳ chresti in el sobrante @9:55 Stay dry Babakins, you're safe where you are on the rock!
	9:59am love2laf: 'Listen, mate, life has surface noise."
	10:00am sydnius: most noise originates from surfaces
	10:00am Helical snowfall: That was a monster set! Loved it!
	10:00am D Rok: ↳ Yetz @9:56 Thanks for the plug. It is now on my Bandcamp wishlist.
	10:01am herb.nyc: “Take yr dog for a walk…” sez joe. I saw movie “year of the dog” last night. So good. (Thx to NYPL for the dvd). Meow!
	👻 10:03am Yetz: Serious, non-ironic question: In the last few years, the artistic reputation of several "un-hip" bands has been reconsidered by the hipoisie - I'm thinking mostly of Steely Dan and the Grateful Dead. Is Billy Joel ever going to be rehabilitated? Or is he just terminally uncool?
	10:04am Mxter Baba: ↳ chresti in el sobrante @9:59 I'm in Santa Cruz for the month—this place has been getting hit hard by the storms. Hoping all is as wll as can be with you and yours 💞
	10:04am Gerry from Miami: Buddie Emmons was a giant on the steel guitar. And he picked a cool tune here, written by comedian Steve Allen.
	10:08am Mark Hurst: A clicky star for Thomas Merton!
	10:09am Andres: Good morning, Joe and all. Did sleep in. Was listening from under the covers. Did ask “What is this guy playing. Jesus” but with curiosity and delight because I could not see the playlist.
	10:10am Joe McG: ↳ Mark Hurst @10:08 I got your blurb all ready this time! :) @Andres: Nice! I'm glad someone was sleeping in and listening.
	👻 10:10am Ken From Hyde Park: There should be a Ted Nugent cover of this, in wango-twango style.
	10:13am Brendan: Isn’t country music illegal Monday morning?
	👻 10:13am Karl Ward: ↳ Yetz @10:03 I'm still waiting for the Eagles to be cool again (cue predictable joke about the Eagles never being cool)
	👻 10:13am Hughie Considine: @Yetz, my perception is slightly different; I feel there's been a major backlash against canonical bands like Steely Dan and the Doors, and that many people have always hated the Grateful Dead and their fans. As for Billy Joel, I don't think he'll get a major re-evaluation on the level of say, Paul McCartney, whose output was maligned and ignored for decades until fairly recently.
	10:13am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Dixie Cannonball / Hillbilly Hula / Cripple Creek... This announcer sounds a lot like the "Captain Bifko and the Raisin People" guy. The Raisin People are everywhere!
	10:14am Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: ↳ Song: "Dixie Cannonball / Hillbilly Hula / Cripple Creek... Always makes me so happy hearing songs about trains.
	👻 10:14am Karl Ward: ↳ Yetz @10:03 Also, I like (and own, on vinyl) the first few Billy Joel records. He lost me around '89.
	👻 10:15am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all!
	10:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:13 I am hardly representative of the cogno- or any other -scenti, but I would like to register my deep personal distaste for the Doors and the Grateful Dead -- and also for Steely Dan on anything but a purely technical level.
	10:16am Mxter Baba: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 ((just over here giggling!!!))
	👻 10:17am Yetz: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:13 Hughie - I agree about Paul McC. The thing about the Dead is, like you say, people have hated them and their fans for years, but now people like Lee Ranaldo, Jesse Jarnow, etc, are confessing to being Deadheads. And then there are bands like Garcia Peoples. Maybe the Steely Dan thing is just among Inzane Johnny followers ...
	10:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl Ward @10:14 The Billy Joel cat adoption room at North Shore Animal Rescue is worth the price of admission. The cat shelters are amps labeled "Feline" instead of "Fender," and there's an actual piano for the cats to walk over the keys of.
	👻 10:17am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I never got into the Grateful Dead. I actually like some of the more obscure Doors stuff as well as the mainstream stuff; depends on the track. RE Steely Dan -- ah, I dunno, it was always part of the background of my lifetime soundtrack growing up so I guess I'm used to it....
	👻 10:18am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 I represent the yeti-scenti.
	10:18am JG: Yetz , my advice is to just go see Billy Joel at MSG and enjoy. In the words of Huey Lewis ,Its hip to be square
	👻 10:19am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH REALLY RE Billy Joel Cat Room? That sounds...surreal and adorable at the same time....
	👻 10:19am Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 I still think you're pretty scenti...just not sure which. I have gotten joy from the Dead and Steely Dan, so there's that, but I get it. Not much love for the Doors, but they influenced lots of great bands.
	👻 10:19am Karl Ward: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 Heaping on my own uncoolness, I love Steely Dan. I love a few of the Grateful Dead records. I was really into the Doors for a while and still enjoy hearing a lot of their catalog. McCartney is great, even though he has gone through long duldrums (who hasn't?). All that said, I have well-known hatreds for certain recently-critically-rehabilitated 80s pop prog groups, but I have been advised to keep those opinions to myself on the boards.
	10:20am Mxter Baba: what the world really needs is more appreciation of white guys
	👻 10:20am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Dixie Cannonball / Hillbilly Hula / Cripple Creek... My hoe is down.
	10:20am Jason from Houston: [perceives someone talking about Steely Dan and looks on comment board]
	10:20am The Butterman: its like the Radio Thrift Shop up in here.
	👻 10:20am Yetz: To be clear, I've always considered Billy Joel to be a total schlockmeister. But that cover of "My Life" got me thinkin'
	10:21am Stanley: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 Handy - noted. And while we're on the subject I want to register Yoko Ono. ducks
	👻 10:21am Karl Ward: ↳ Jason from Houston @10:20 Jason from Houston: it is about Dan time we saw you on the board
	👻 10:21am Hughie Considine: ↳ Yetz @10:17 Jesse and others have championed the Dead and Dead-related stuff for years. The jam band thing was happening even while the Dead were still touring with Jerry. I don't see it as a new development.
	👻 10:21am Yetz: ↳ Jason from Houston @10:20 Hey Jason! Dan discussion starts at 10:03
	10:21am KC Sonoma,CA: Oh Lordy, love the rockabilly!! How bout some Maddox Brothers and Rose? Honky Tonkin is a dandy. My mother went with one of the brothers before marrying my Dad. My parents took me to see Rose Maddox at the county Fair. Rock a billy flash and a wonderful hoot n holler:)
	10:21am Joe McG: ↳ The Butterman @10:20 It sure as shootin' is!
	10:21am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyy there!
	10:21am love2laf: I just can't think of any music as uncool. I like it or I don't. Overwhelmingly, I am just grateful for all musicians who put themselves out there. Without them, there'd be no music, and that's a horrible thought.
	10:22am Handy Haversack: ↳ KC Sonoma,CA @10:21 Nice! You should join us Wednesday evenings for Becky's Honky Tonk Radio Girl show! www.wfmu.org...
	10:22am KC Sonoma,CA: That’s clogging music yer playing!!!
	👻 10:22am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Joe McG @10:21 We'll get back to Casey Kasem airchecks soon enough.
	👻 10:23am Karl Ward: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:17 You know who loves the Doors though? Todd-o-phonic Todd. He's positively mad for the Doors.
	10:23am Handy Haversack: ↳ Jason from Houston @10:21 Jason, just in time to say hi and bye before I join the air force!
	10:23am Jason from Houston: Noooooooo...
	10:23am Jason from Houston: Don't do it.
	👻 10:24am Webhamster Henry: If you haven't joined the air force thanks to those ads, join ROTC thanks to The Night Bird: jhhl.net...
	10:24am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Yetz @10:03 I have never seen the word "hipoisie" but I totally dig it!
	10:24am Mxter Baba: I didn't even have to duck!
	👻 10:25am chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 I'm allergic to Steely Dan-bad association with wine bars and health food stores
	10:25am βrian: The Hipoisie vs. the Pelvistocates
	👻 10:25am Karl Ward: ↳ Karl Ward @10:23 [Disclaimer: Todd-o-phonic Todd can't stand the Doors. Don't mail him Doors rarity 45s or Jim Morrison signed concert posters. I suspect he might hunt you down for doing stuff like that.]
	10:26am Handy Haversack: ↳ chresti @10:25 They should have allergen warnings above the door!
	👻 10:26am Yetz: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:21 Definitelty, Hughie. The jam bands never went away. But somehow, at least to me, there seems to be a bit of a dropping of the "Oh, the Dead, I would never listen to that" kind of attitude among a certain kind of music listener. Maybe I'm just talking about myself, but I think it's a bit wider.
	10:27am Stanley: Where's the WFMU Steely Dan Appreciation Society? He's over there --->
	10:27am WoodsOfMaine: As for a music's hipness, I've never cared...which is why I can enjoy Horselords _and_ Hall & Oates.
	10:27am Mxter Baba: ↳ chresti @10:25 most of thos bands I just have bad associations with exes
	10:28am Mxter Baba: ↳ Yetz @10:26 must be all the microdosing thesse days?
	10:29am Stanley: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @10:27 Right on. Balls to hipness. That's why we enjoy this station.
	👻 10:29am Yetz: ↳ Mxter Baba @10:28 Hahaha I think you just nailed it Babz!
	10:29am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Stanley @10:29 Exactly.
	10:29am βrian: During my missing years, Phish was a local band. They had lots of deadhead fans.
	10:29am McGroovey: Hooo-WEEEE!
	10:29am Rich in Bristol: Surfacing. Hi Joe!
	👻 10:30am Karl Ward: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @10:27 When did Horselords and Hall & Oates collab? And I want to hear that so bad.
	👻 10:30am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I am stealing Hipoisie.
	10:30am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Karl Ward @10:30 Ha! OMG.
	👻 10:30am chresti: ↳ Mxter Baba @10:04 Oh my, SC has been hit hard, I stayed in the mountains one spring (1974-5) during a rainy season-there was snow too!
	👻 10:30am yerfriendpaul: Loved that set!
	10:31am mariano: I remember young Billy Joel being spoken of in the same breath as young Elvis Costello and young Joe Jackson when he was first starting out (one of the "angry young men"). Then he became more mainstream. But I can totally see a Young Billy Joel cartoon series where the go around solving mysteries with young Elvis C and Joe J. One of my favorite parts of Step Brothers is the band that only plays 80s Billy Joel. People in the crowd keep calling for "Piano Man" or something from The Stranger, till the singer loses it and yells at one of them "Yeah well why don't you get the fuck out of here with your skank hooker wife!" leading to a general brawl. Never been a huge Doors fan, though I have warmed to them a bit over the years, but I can't imagine any other song but "The End" opening Apocalypse Now, so all is forgiven.
	👻 10:31am Yetz: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:30 it's been around a long time www.nytimes.com...
	10:31am listener James from Westwood: Caffeine Patrol! And here I was just putting coffee on!
	👻 10:32am Yetz: ↳ Yetz @10:31 (NY Times called John Lennon the "King of the Hipoisie" way back in 1988)
	10:32am listener James from Westwood: Airwave Archive!
	10:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @10:31 The music box. Shit, I was still in the music box. SUBDIVISIONS
	10:32am KWilde: Airway Archive
	👻 10:33am Hughie Considine: ↳ Yetz @10:26 I see what you mean. I think the Dead are much more seen as a cuddly Dad Rock institution these days, all tie-dye and Jerry bears and nostalgia, effectively replacing the former image of drugged-out hippie stoners in the popular consciousness.
	10:33am Booz: Still miss Radio Thriftshop, as well as Airway Archive
	10:34am mariano: SUBDIVISIONS
	10:34am listener James from Westwood: 🤙🏻
	10:35am McGroovey: Daryl Hall?
	👻 10:36am Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "Every Day's a Lovely Day" by "Gulliver" Come on Horselords, get in there
	10:36am Joe McG: Many thanks for the assistance! My favorite thing about the comment board. @McGroovey: You got it!
	10:36am Mxter Baba: ↳ mariano @10:31 I got to see the People Like Us video of "The Sound Of The End Of Music" in a 360 immersive projection, and that blew my mind! peoplelikeus.org...
	👻 10:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ mariano @10:31 I think it was a convenient time for Billy to present himself as an angry young man, but in the era of Elvis C, Graham Parker, and Joe Jackson, he fell short of winning a medal in the Angry Young Man Olympiad of '78.
	10:37am McGroovey: ↳ Joe McG @10:36 It's the WFMU Hive Mind...
	10:37am RevErie: ↳ Song: "Every Day's a Lovely Day" by "Gulliver" I's like to dedicate this song to DJLorraine
	10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☽Monday FMUvianz ~ BillyJoel only one mentioned here I have a notable allergy against. & FMU-Js have played something by him I thot was not terrible. Main thing to me is not being force-fed anything - & having some variety in a big world saturated with Musics - a great(er) %age of which I've never heard before @ all or even too little. FMU steps up as powerfully here as anything Ive encountered in my (increasingly long) life - if not more. (New era of course of access.) Having said that ...it is interesting how we've come utterly full circle from the Punk short fast simple ethos back to Jammers. But @ this historical remove - why not.
	👻 10:37am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: OK fun bit of Grateful Dead nanotrivia from me: I went to Cornell with a really cool guy named Starfinder Stanley -- he was one of my best friend's roomies at the Eco House Dorm. He was also the son of the "Bear," the Dead's LSD hookup. Starfinder never did any drugs/booze himself and had a mini-menagerie of critters in his shared room and really knew how to care for them all. Really nice kid. Now he's a very successful vet in the Bay area, and treats exotic species as well as kitties and doggos: housecallofthewild.com
	10:38am JG: Re the Dead, I like the idea of Jam bands, IDK like say the Allman Brothers, but have never been able to swim into the deep end of that pool where the Dead are. I would need somebody to show me the way and I really don't know any Dead headsn not that I'm prejudice against them as a group. I'm confused by the Dead
	👻 10:38am Karl Ward: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:37 I mean they held the '78 Anger Olympiad in Montenegro and Billy just couldn't win--the Europeans had too much home field advantage.
	10:38am mariano: Ooh, great Cars song! Great early MTV video for this one.
	10:38am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Since You're Gone" by "The Cars" NICE
	👻 10:38am Yetz: Darryl Hall is cool b/c he worked with Robert Fripp
	👻 10:38am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Yetz @10:31 Thanks for the linky etc!
	👻 10:39am Hughie Considine: ↳ Karl Ward @10:38 ha, the competition was particularly fierce that year!
	10:39am JG: At least the Cars are something we can all agree on
	👻 10:39am Yetz: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:38 sure 3Moons! hope your 2023 is going swimmingly
	👻 10:40am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Song: "Since You're Gone" by "The Cars" Gotta say this is a nice 90-mph around a hairpin turn from the Dixie stuff....
	👻 10:40am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Since You're Gone" by "The Cars" Too bad Ric Ocasek turned out to be such a heel. And he seemed like such a warm individual.
	10:40am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Since You're Gone" by "The Cars" Speaking of Fripp, that solo does.
	10:40am mariano: ↳ Song: "Since You're Gone" by "The Cars" One of Elliot Easton's best solos, so understated.
	10:41am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe! Nice to hear some Mighty Lemon Drops on a Monday morning :)
	10:43am Tinley Park Randy: 1988
	10:43am mariano: ↳ Karl Ward @10:38 Yeah, Billy would be a longshot even for bronze in the AYM Olympiad.
	10:43am northguineahills: here for about 150 secs of the mighty lemon drops...
	10:43am Joe McG: ↳ Listener Alexandra @10:41 G'morning, Alex!
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...been thinking ...efd remarked when presenting his 'Best Of 2022' - that he mean this faves - since Music is too Subjective to say what's 'Best'. Interesting. Obviously Music is an eminently Subjective ...some would say even Indulgent & irrelevant experience. I quote Blake with 'Art Over Empire' of course. But anyway - Music is both so very Subjective, yet obviously huh gel y Collective in other respects. Blithering about here for one example. I mean whole sort of Cultures define themselves by it...
	10:44am prof.fuzz: Morning y’all!
	10:44am Listener Alexandra: ↳ Joe McG @10:43 And happy 2023 :)
	👻 10:44am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:44 without subjectivity, music is just air pressure variations
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:44 *his faves
	10:45am McGroovey: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:44 The sun is out in NJ. How about there?
	10:45am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:44 Hey, prof.! Great to see you the other night. I wrote ChukAmok in NC and gave him the heads-up and DL code.
	10:46am Deano de los Muertos: groovin to the gravy. Thanks Joe
	10:46am prof.fuzz: McG: beautiful day at 50 degrees here in front royal virginia! On to roanoke.
	10:46am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Gravy (For My Mashed Potatoes)" by "Dee Dee Sharp" I bought some Tofurky gravy just yesterday.
	👻 10:46am Brian in UK: ↳ Joe McG @9:40 Joe, back from dog walk. Yes, Amy. She did record an album in Scotland though.
	10:46am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Gravy (For My Mashed Potatoes)" by "Dee Dee Sharp" Clickystarred for "Lots of groovy gravy things to do."
	10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @10:44 A physical reality - of even an elemental sort perhaps, then. Idea that the Abstract is paradoxically more Universal - as everyone has an inside perspective. The purely Realist or Representational is alien & stark to everyone...
	👻 10:47am 12539: Surface noise.
	👻 10:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:44 On that subject, I follow an online poll in the manner of the Village Voice pazz and jop survey that has recently been hijacked by a commentator who called the popular fave of the year, Wet Leg, a pile of shit, and a huge kerfuffle resulted. That's the problem when "my favorite" becomes "the best" and people feel they have to crap on other people's tastes. But I guess self-righteous critics have been modeling that for ages.
	👻 10:48am Brian in UK: Joe, oh yes. Denny Laine's voice made me buy this at the time. Think I bought You're Lost That Lovin' Feeling the same day.
	10:49am dale: always wondered why this was recorded so hot.
	👻 10:51am Yetz: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:47 Wet Leg 100% overrated. Check back in 5 years and see if anyone remembers them.
	👻 10:51am Yetz: ↳ Yetz @10:51 Oh crap I was thinking of Dry Cleaning
	10:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:47 That LesterBangs modeled Punk in attitude - but didn't make a lot of sense Critically. Or bands who to this day promote themselves as the AntiBeatles... Idea that Music & Language are centered for us in somewhat different lobes of the brain ...& Articulating the qualities of Musics is ...what exactly... Sisyphusian ? I find it an interesting exercise. Which takes real practice - @ the very least... In Philosophy, debate is almost always predicated by Definitions - so yer talking about the same thing to begin with. With Arts ...words will require Poetic perception & Technical understanding alike...
	10:53am KC Sonoma,CA: Thank you for absolutely great music today🎶
	10:53am REDSPIDER: ↳ mariano @10:40 Absolutely agree , along with “Touch and Go” and that killer country twang vibe on “ My Best Friend's Girl”.. Easton is a master of the form.
	10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @10:51 I think WetLeg is making catchy Pop.
	10:54am Joe McG: ↳ KC Sonoma,CA @10:53 Glad you're enjoying the show!
	👻 10:55am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:53 "There's no limit to the different kinds of feelings music can make you have...every once in a while we have feelings so deep and so special that we have no words for them and that's where music is so marvelous; because music names them for us, only in notes instead of in words. It's all in the way music moves...and that movement can tell us more about the way we feel than a million words can." - Leonard Bernstein
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @10:55 Of course ! But Leonard is expressing that in choice words, for instance.
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:56 ...I mean - he certainly had a great deal to say about Music...
	10:58am Mike Sin: Enjoying some "single file." Jumping in and out of your show during breaks from online Jury Duty!
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: "Music is a universal language". - Bloke down the pub/bar.
	10:59am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Life's Been Good" by "Joe Walsh" Somehow, I missed most of the irony in these lyrics when it was a radio hit.
	👻 11:00am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:57 Joe Walsh has been 100% rehabilitated in my eyes. Partly because he backed Tammy Duckworth in her Senate race against Joe Walsh.
	👻 11:00am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Life's Been Good" by "Joe Walsh" Unlike the Doors, Steely Dan or the Grateful Dead, there will never be a backlash against Joe Walsh.
	👻 11:00am Yetz: oops that was a reply to this song not RevRab
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @10:59 Day after ElvisDay it's all on point. Watched the 2005 Elvis miniseries on PlutoTV. Rather good I thot !
	11:00am Joe McG: ↳ Mike Sin @10:58 Mike, I'm picturing you in "12 Angry Men"!
	11:00am Roberto: ↳ Yetz @11:00 But shitty Joe Walsh also seems to be less shitty lately.
	11:01am chris_in_space: That beautiful ARP Odyssey sound in Life's Been Good.
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @11:00 This may be a thing now: Clicking the wrong thread...
	👻 11:01am Yetz: this is a good song but it took a while for me to get over his connection to the Eagles
	11:02am Lord Jimz: ↳ Roberto @10:59 my sentiments exactly
	11:02am bradford: don't hear the single version of this too often...
	11:02am Roberto: ↳ Joe McG @11:00 OK so I know it was the '50s but would there really have been an all-male jury? Especially on a murder case.
	11:02am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Life's Been Good" by "Joe Walsh" This song will always remind me of an AWFUL regular at the record store I worked at who somehow acquired a storage unit full of CDs, which he then would bring in to sell to us and try to intimidate us into paying way more than they were worth. One time one of the CDs was this Joe Walsh album, which he demanded we put on so he could hear "Life's Been Good." We told him we couldn't because it was sealed, so he bought it back and opened it, then proceeded to sing along to the entire song. It was a SPECTACLE.
	11:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:00 Word.
	👻 11:02am chresti in el sobrante: Joe Walsh plays tennis at the facility I work at in Griffith Park
	11:03am Joe McG: @chresti: Tell 'im I said "Hi!" :)
	11:03am chris_in_space: ↳ The Oscar @11:02 That is comedy gold
	11:03am Roberto: I love that there seems to be this bromance going on between Joe and Ringo. And they're sort of related too.
	11:03am wind: Thanks Joe for creating a peaceful morning for me with lots of weeping, feeling guilt and also feeling grateful to be alive. …and some hypochondria lol. Keep up the amazing vibes!
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never didn't like (if not love) JoeWalsh. JamesGang & everything.
	👻 11:04am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:03 I always forget he was in James Gang
	11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ The Oscar @11:02 Feel yer pain. ...Also laughing.
	👻 11:04am Hughie Considine: ↳ The Oscar @11:02 Gold! Should be drawn by Harvey Pekar.
	11:04am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:03 Joe Walsh, that is. Not Joe McG (that I know of).
	11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...He's not a voice in TheEagles so much ...which helps...
	11:05am love2laf: ↳ The Oscar @11:02 Oh that is hilarious! Cheers for the mental image and chuckle!
	11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:04 ...it pretty much is. Damn straight.
	👻 11:06am Brian in UK: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:03 Liked when he played on Dan Fogelberg's albums.
	11:10am Handy Haversack: Well done Techtonic preview, Joe! You're back in the zone!
	11:10am mariano: Anyone remember back in the early 80s when Nickelodeon would play rock concerts? I remember seeing the Police and the Cars. First time I heard a real Boston accent, that Cars concert: whoever announced them said "From Boston, the Caaaaahs!"
	11:10am chris_in_space: There are few vids more rock and roll than Joe Walsh blazing away with James Gang in '71 during "Walk Away". It's on YT. So damn good.
	👻 11:10am DjLorraine: ↳ The Oscar @11:02 Great story, ty
	11:11am Roberto: ↳ chris_in_space @11:10 The trippy video from German TV I think? Yeah that's the shite.
	👻 11:11am Karl Ward: prof.fuzz 63 was awesome at Pet Shop last week
	11:12am chris_in_space: ↳ Roberto @11:11 I mean he's wearing a plain orange t-shirt, and he looks two beers and a line deep.
	11:13am love2laf: Sounds like "The Lobster" movie, which was strange, weird, and compelling.
	11:13am Kotzwinkled: Hell yeah a rock solid Block of LOUDO!
	👻 11:14am Brian in UK: Loud & Louder?
	11:15am SeanG: Rufus does a nice cover of this
	11:16am Joe McG: ↳ SeanG @11:15 I like his version!
	11:16am Kotzwinkled: I think I told this tale before, but my "bachelor party" was just my wedding officiant and I going to Minetta Tavern, then seeing Loudo at City Winery. Perfect!
	👻 11:16am chresti in el sobrante: ↳ Joe McG @11:03 @Joe- Alas, I never see him because he comes in the afternoon - the guy that works afternoons told me. Honestly unless I see a name I have no idea if a famous actor-musician-author comes to play tennis.
	11:17am Wind: ↳ mariano @11:10 No, I came here in '86 but that is so funny!!..... whoever announced them said "From Boston, the Caaaaahs!"
	11:19am gabe: ohhh the duplicity!
	11:20am prof.fuzz: Karl Ward and family were wonderful hosts after the Pet Shop show. Mucho gracias!
	👻 11:20am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "It Takes 2" by "Loudon Wainwright III" His voice sounds as good as ever!
	11:20am Kotzwinkled: Loudon is such a sellout (entered a seemingly happy relationship).
	11:21am Wind: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:16 That's different :)
	11:21am McGroovey: I just walk away and come back, and I hear two Loudon Wainwright songs in a row. I hope that doesn't mean he died or something?
	👻 11:22am Karl Ward: ↳ McGroovey @11:21 He's never gonna die, he loves himself too much
	👻 11:22am Karl Ward: Did I say that out loud?
	11:23am Andres: Dug the Loudon. Also, it takes two to make a thing go right.
	11:24am Kotzwinkled: One of my favorite Loudon moments is his "I Don't Think That Your Wife Likes Me" on some BBC live show www.youtube.com...
	11:24am Mortricia: Toss Rufus in there and you have a whole dysfunctional family reunion.
	11:25am McGroovey: ↳ Andres @11:23 It also takes two to make it outta sight, of course.
	11:27am JetBoy of Astoria: Hi all!
	11:27am Jordan in Buffalo: Love this version, as well as Karen Dalton's from the 1966 collection
	11:27am Wind: ↳ Andres @11:23 ha! right
	11:28am Wind: ↳ JetBoy of Astoria @11:27 hey
	11:28am B Wad: Joe McG…Bergen Country Ben here, checking in from Tel Aviv. Lovin’ Loudon double-shot, and humming along with you to that Joe Walsh prog-fill 🤩 🎸
	11:28am Mark Hurst: Thanks, Joe. There is so much surveillance news - RECENT news - worth talking about that I will have to triage to fit it into an hour.
	11:29am JG: On the LLywin Davis soundtrack. love that movie and soundtrack
	11:30am Jordan in Buffalo: And heard the John Peel origin of the name earlier. Love it! My favorite Peel clip is when BBC4 aired an ad for a contest in which the prize was tix to a Genesis concert. Peel came on the air and said, "prize? sounds more like a punishment to me!" and then played some African music
	11:30am Joe McG: @BWad: Ha ha! @Mark: If Mike Sin is in "12 Angry Men," I'm picturing you like Alan Alda on "MASH"!
	11:32am McGroovey: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:24 That's pretty funny.
	11:32am Mark Hurst: I always did like Alda's character.
	11:38am dale: love pentangle's version of this.
	11:39am NikiA: Oh fuck I love this song Pentangle’s version is great but also Olivia Chaney with the Decemberists (they called themselves Offa Rex) have a version that’s amazing. The lyrics are so unusual for a folk song from this time/period.
	11:39am listener monica: Hello, Joe. It's been awhile since I remembered it was Monday.
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dale @11:38 Oh? Thinking SandyDenny singing it ...anybody's probly.
	👻 11:40am officina: Another great show, Joe !
	11:40am B Wad: I love this song…Hearing it makes me wonder, is there any definitive English folk song that Simon & Garfunkel ripped off for Scarborough Fair?
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ NikiA @11:39 We need a SingOff of Willy O'Winsburys clearly.
	👻 11:41am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Willy O'Winsbury" by "Silica Gel" Autoharp alert!
	11:41am dale: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:39 jacqui does it wonderfully. it's such a gothic song that no one can't do it well. wasn't loudon in mash too? both the movie and the show?
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ B Wad @11:40 Traditional itself isn't it ? Modal, btw...
	11:43am Barno in Akron: Not to be confused with the experimental band, Silica Gel on Negativland's SEELAND table.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:41 Here you go: Roud 64, Continental Subway: wfmu.org... Also, Meg Baird has a version.
	11:43am Brendan: i'm gonna have this Silica Gel implanted all week
	👻 11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ B Wad @11:40 I believe the S&G version was based on Martin Carthy's arrangement of the traditional song.
	11:44am dale: google says silica gel is a korean boys band. must be a different silica gel.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 Oo ! Anne Briggs...
	11:45am Handy Haversack: ↳ dale @11:41 The Singing Surgeon!
	11:45am B Wad: Thank you Hughie
	11:46am Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:45 Captain Spalding!
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:44 Aha. PaulSimon & BobDylan alike spent some time in the UK early on...
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: I like John Renbourn's Willy!
	11:47am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @11:47 Ha ha ha!
	11:48am Handy Haversack: Here's this Silica Gel: sweetwreath.bandcamp.com...
	11:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:48 "The sounds are ancient yet futuristic….wurlitzer organ, mandolin and autoharp combine with bent circuits and digital artifacts in a song cycle that progresses like a hauntological play."
	11:49am Wind: that's dark
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Jack O'Diamonds" by "Terry Callier" Like this Gittar tone & style.
	👻 11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:46 True, only S&G went there when they were going nowhere as songwriters and needed to get in on the hip new folk boom. Apparently when they came back to the US and played "Sounds of Silence" to the Greenwich Village hipoisie, they provoked derisive laughter.
	11:50am love2laf: Thank you for a great show Joe, it was sonically emotion filled, a perfect fit for this gloomy monday. Listeners may your day and life be filled with surface noise.
	11:51am Joe McG: ↳ love2laf @11:50 Glad you enjoyed the show! :)
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:50 - & then TomWilson added Electric instruments without even S&G knowing. About as good a Song as ever written, no ?
	11:52am Wind: ↳ love2laf @11:50 Thank you :)
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Nice work, Joe.
	11:53am Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Willy O'Winsbury" by "Silica Gel" One really safe bet when listening to old-timey British Isles music: if you hear the word "pale", coming up next is "and wan". [dunno if I linked this comment to the song which prompted it; I got to the playlist late]
	👻 11:53am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:51 Fantastic song, fantastic vision by Tom Wilson. It wasn't working before. Like putting gloves on Mickey Mouse.
	11:53am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting today, everyone! Hope you have a great week and see you next time.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tatty robe & green tea rather than turtleneck & espresso but digging the stuff outta this Set nonetheless.
	11:54am Jeff Moore: Thanks, Mr. Joe!
	👻 11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Splendid selections today.
	👻 11:54am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Glory, Glory" by "Odetta" Not enough Odetta on this station!
	👻 11:54am Hughie Considine: Thanks for another fine Monday, Mr. DJ!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Great set and show, Joe! Many thanks!
	11:55am Brendan: Amen
	11:55am NikiA: Beautiful show and beautiful ending Joe. Thank you
	11:56am listener 126464: Thanks Joe McG.!
	11:56am βrian: Irene is abouit to begin, if that interests ya. freeform.wfmu.org...
	11:56am Barno in Akron: ↳ Joe McG @11:53 Thank you, Joe :)
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JoeMcG ~

	👻 10:03am Yetz: Serious, non-ironic question: In the last few years, the artistic reputation of several "un-hip" bands has been reconsidered by the hipoisie - I'm thinking mostly of Steely Dan and the Grateful Dead. Is Billy Joel ever going to be rehabilitated? Or is he just terminally uncool?
	10:04am Mxter Baba: ↳ chresti in el sobrante @9:59 I'm in Santa Cruz for the month—this place has been getting hit hard by the storms. Hoping all is as wll as can be with you and yours 💞

	👻 10:13am Karl Ward: ↳ Yetz @10:03 I'm still waiting for the Eagles to be cool again (cue predictable joke about the Eagles never being cool)
	👻 10:13am Hughie Considine: @Yetz, my perception is slightly different; I feel there's been a major backlash against canonical bands like Steely Dan and the Doors, and that many people have always hated the Grateful Dead and their fans. As for Billy Joel, I don't think he'll get a major re-evaluation on the level of say, Paul McCartney, whose output was maligned and ignored for decades until fairly recently.
	10:13am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Dixie Cannonball / Hillbilly Hula / Cripple Creek... This announcer sounds a lot like the "Captain Bifko and the Raisin People" guy. The Raisin People are everywhere!

	👻 10:14am Karl Ward: ↳ Yetz @10:03 Also, I like (and own, on vinyl) the first few Billy Joel records. He lost me around '89.
	👻 10:15am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all!
	10:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:13 I am hardly representative of the cogno- or any other -scenti, but I would like to register my deep personal distaste for the Doors and the Grateful Dead -- and also for Steely Dan on anything but a purely technical level.
	10:16am Mxter Baba: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 ((just over here giggling!!!))
	👻 10:17am Yetz: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:13 Hughie - I agree about Paul McC. The thing about the Dead is, like you say, people have hated them and their fans for years, but now people like Lee Ranaldo, Jesse Jarnow, etc, are confessing to being Deadheads. And then there are bands like Garcia Peoples. Maybe the Steely Dan thing is just among Inzane Johnny followers ...
	10:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl Ward @10:14 The Billy Joel cat adoption room at North Shore Animal Rescue is worth the price of admission. The cat shelters are amps labeled "Feline" instead of "Fender," and there's an actual piano for the cats to walk over the keys of.
	👻 10:17am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I never got into the Grateful Dead. I actually like some of the more obscure Doors stuff as well as the mainstream stuff; depends on the track. RE Steely Dan -- ah, I dunno, it was always part of the background of my lifetime soundtrack growing up so I guess I'm used to it....
	👻 10:18am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 I represent the yeti-scenti.
	10:18am JG: Yetz , my advice is to just go see Billy Joel at MSG and enjoy. In the words of Huey Lewis ,Its hip to be square
	👻 10:19am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH REALLY RE Billy Joel Cat Room? That sounds...surreal and adorable at the same time....
	👻 10:19am Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 I still think you're pretty scenti...just not sure which. I have gotten joy from the Dead and Steely Dan, so there's that, but I get it. Not much love for the Doors, but they influenced lots of great bands.
	👻 10:19am Karl Ward: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 Heaping on my own uncoolness, I love Steely Dan. I love a few of the Grateful Dead records. I was really into the Doors for a while and still enjoy hearing a lot of their catalog. McCartney is great, even though he has gone through long duldrums (who hasn't?). All that said, I have well-known hatreds for certain recently-critically-rehabilitated 80s pop prog groups, but I have been advised to keep those opinions to myself on the boards.

	👻 10:26am Yetz: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:21 Definitelty, Hughie. The jam bands never went away. But somehow, at least to me, there seems to be a bit of a dropping of the "Oh, the Dead, I would never listen to that" kind of attitude among a certain kind of music listener. Maybe I'm just talking about myself, but I think it's a bit wider.
	10:27am Stanley: Where's the WFMU Steely Dan Appreciation Society? He's over there --->

	10:31am mariano: I remember young Billy Joel being spoken of in the same breath as young Elvis Costello and young Joe Jackson when he was first starting out (one of the "angry young men"). Then he became more mainstream. But I can totally see a Young Billy Joel cartoon series where the go around solving mysteries with young Elvis C and Joe J. One of my favorite parts of Step Brothers is the band that only plays 80s Billy Joel. People in the crowd keep calling for "Piano Man" or something from The Stranger, till the singer loses it and yells at one of them "Yeah well why don't you get the fuck out of here with your skank hooker wife!" leading to a general brawl. Never been a huge Doors fan, though I have warmed to them a bit over the years, but I can't imagine any other song but "The End" opening Apocalypse Now, so all is forgiven.

	👻 10:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ mariano @10:31 I think it was a convenient time for Billy to present himself as an angry young man, but in the era of Elvis C, Graham Parker, and Joe Jackson, he fell short of winning a medal in the Angry Young Man Olympiad of '78.

	10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☽Monday FMUvianz ~ BillyJoel only one mentioned here I have a notable allergy against. & FMU-Js have played something by him I thot was not terrible. Main thing to me is not being force-fed anything - & having some variety in a big world saturated with Musics - a great(er) %age of which I've never heard before @ all or even too little. FMU steps up as powerfully here as anything Ive encountered in my (increasingly long) life - if not more. (New era of course of access.) Having said that ...it is interesting how we've come utterly full circle from the Punk short fast simple ethos back to Jammers. But @ this historical remove - why not.
	👻 10:37am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: OK fun bit of Grateful Dead nanotrivia from me: I went to Cornell with a really cool guy named Starfinder Stanley -- he was one of my best friend's roomies at the Eco House Dorm. He was also the son of the "Bear," the Dead's LSD hookup. Starfinder never did any drugs/booze himself and had a mini-menagerie of critters in his shared room and really knew how to care for them all. Really nice kid. Now he's a very successful vet in the Bay area, and treats exotic species as well as kitties and doggos: housecallofthewild.com
	10:38am JG: Re the Dead, I like the idea of Jam bands, IDK like say the Allman Brothers, but have never been able to swim into the deep end of that pool where the Dead are. I would need somebody to show me the way and I really don't know any Dead headsn not that I'm prejudice against them as a group. I'm confused by the Dead
	👻 10:38am Karl Ward: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:37 I mean they held the '78 Anger Olympiad in Montenegro and Billy just couldn't win--the Europeans had too much home field advantage.

Obviously Music is an eminently Subjective ...some would say even Indulgent & irrelevant experience. I quote Blake with 'Art Over Empire' of course. But anyway - Music is both so very Subjective, yet obviously huh gel y Collective in other respects. Blithering about here for one example. I mean whole sort of Cultures define themselves by it...

	👻 10:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:44 On that subject, I follow an online poll in the manner of the Village Voice pazz and jop survey that has recently been hijacked by a commentator who called the popular fave of the year, Wet Leg, a pile of shit, and a huge kerfuffle resulted. That's the problem when "my favorite" becomes "the best" and people feel they have to crap on other people's tastes. But I guess self-righteous critics have been modeling that for ages.

Idea that Music & Language are centered for us in somewhat different lobes of the brain ...& Articulating the qualities of Musics is ...what exactly... Sisyphusian ? I find it an interesting exercise. Which takes real practice - @ the very least... In Philosophy, debate is almost always predicated by Definitions - so yer talking about the same thing to begin with. With Arts ...words will require Poetic perception & Technical understanding alike...
	10:53am KC Sonoma,CA: Thank you for absolutely great music today🎶
	10:53am REDSPIDER: ↳ mariano @10:40 Absolutely agree , along with “Touch and Go” and that killer country twang vibe on “ My Best Friend's Girl”.. Easton is a master of the form.
	10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @10:51 I think WetLeg is making catchy Pop.
	10:54am Joe McG: ↳ KC Sonoma,CA @10:53 Glad you're enjoying the show!
	👻 10:55am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:53 "There's no limit to the different kinds of feelings music can make you have...every once in a while we have feelings so deep and so special that we have no words for them and that's where music is so marvelous; because music names them for us, only in notes instead of in words. It's all in the way music moves...and that movement can tell us more about the way we feel than a million words can." - Leonard Bernstein
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @10:55 Of course ! But Leonard is expressing that in choice words, for instance.
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:56 ...I mean - he certainly had a great deal to say about Music...
	10:58am Mike Sin: Enjoying some "single file." Jumping in and out of your show during breaks from online Jury Duty!
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: "Music is a universal language". - Bloke down the pub/bar.
	10:59am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Life's Been Good" by "Joe Walsh" Somehow, I missed most of the irony in these lyrics when it was a radio hit.
	👻 11:00am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:57 Joe Walsh has been 100% rehabilitated in my eyes. Partly because he backed Tammy Duckworth in her Senate race against Joe Walsh.
	👻 11:00am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Life's Been Good" by "Joe Walsh" Unlike the Doors, Steely Dan or the Grateful Dead, there will never be a backlash against Joe Walsh.
	👻 11:00am Yetz: oops that was a reply to this song not RevRab
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @10:59 Day after ElvisDay it's all on point. Watched the 2005 Elvis miniseries on PlutoTV. Rather good I thot !
	11:00am Joe McG: ↳ Mike Sin @10:58 Mike, I'm picturing you in "12 Angry Men"!
	11:00am Roberto: ↳ Yetz @11:00 But shitty Joe Walsh also seems to be less shitty lately.
	11:01am chris_in_space: That beautiful ARP Odyssey sound in Life's Been Good.
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @11:00 This may be a thing now: Clicking the wrong thread...
	👻 11:01am Yetz: this is a good song but it took a while for me to get over his connection to the Eagles
	11:02am Lord Jimz: ↳ Roberto @10:59 my sentiments exactly
	11:02am bradford: don't hear the single version of this too often...
	11:02am Roberto: ↳ Joe McG @11:00 OK so I know it was the '50s but would there really have been an all-male jury? Especially on a murder case.
	11:02am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Life's Been Good" by "Joe Walsh" This song will always remind me of an AWFUL regular at the record store I worked at who somehow acquired a storage unit full of CDs, which he then would bring in to sell to us and try to intimidate us into paying way more than they were worth. One time one of the CDs was this Joe Walsh album, which he demanded we put on so he could hear "Life's Been Good." We told him we couldn't because it was sealed, so he bought it back and opened it, then proceeded to sing along to the entire song. It was a SPECTACLE.
	11:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:00 Word.
	👻 11:02am chresti in el sobrante: Joe Walsh plays tennis at the facility I work at in Griffith Park
	11:03am Joe McG: @chresti: Tell 'im I said "Hi!" :)
	11:03am chris_in_space: ↳ The Oscar @11:02 That is comedy gold
	11:03am Roberto: I love that there seems to be this bromance going on between Joe and Ringo. And they're sort of related too.
	11:03am wind: Thanks Joe for creating a peaceful morning for me with lots of weeping, feeling guilt and also feeling grateful to be alive. …and some hypochondria lol. Keep up the amazing vibes!
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never didn't like (if not love) JoeWalsh. JamesGang & everything.
	👻 11:04am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:03 I always forget he was in James Gang
	11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ The Oscar @11:02 Feel yer pain. ...Also laughing.
	👻 11:04am Hughie Considine: ↳ The Oscar @11:02 Gold! Should be drawn by Harvey Pekar.
	11:04am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:03 Joe Walsh, that is. Not Joe McG (that I know of).
	11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...He's not a voice in TheEagles so much ...which helps...
	11:05am love2laf: ↳ The Oscar @11:02 Oh that is hilarious! Cheers for the mental image and chuckle!
	11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:04 ...it pretty much is. Damn straight.
	👻 11:06am Brian in UK: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:03 Liked when he played on Dan Fogelberg's albums.
	11:10am Handy Haversack: Well done Techtonic preview, Joe! You're back in the zone!
	11:10am mariano: Anyone remember back in the early 80s when Nickelodeon would play rock concerts? I remember seeing the Police and the Cars. First time I heard a real Boston accent, that Cars concert: whoever announced them said "From Boston, the Caaaaahs!"
	11:10am chris_in_space: There are few vids more rock and roll than Joe Walsh blazing away with James Gang in '71 during "Walk Away". It's on YT. So damn good.
	👻 11:10am DjLorraine: ↳ The Oscar @11:02 Great story, ty
	11:11am Roberto: ↳ chris_in_space @11:10 The trippy video from German TV I think? Yeah that's the shite.
	👻 11:11am Karl Ward: prof.fuzz 63 was awesome at Pet Shop last week
	11:12am chris_in_space: ↳ Roberto @11:11 I mean he's wearing a plain orange t-shirt, and he looks two beers and a line deep.
	11:13am love2laf: Sounds like "The Lobster" movie, which was strange, weird, and compelling.
	11:13am Kotzwinkled: Hell yeah a rock solid Block of LOUDO!
	👻 11:14am Brian in UK: Loud & Louder?
	11:15am SeanG: Rufus does a nice cover of this
	11:16am Joe McG: ↳ SeanG @11:15 I like his version!
	11:16am Kotzwinkled: I think I told this tale before, but my "bachelor party" was just my wedding officiant and I going to Minetta Tavern, then seeing Loudo at City Winery. Perfect!
	👻 11:16am chresti in el sobrante: ↳ Joe McG @11:03 @Joe- Alas, I never see him because he comes in the afternoon - the guy that works afternoons told me. Honestly unless I see a name I have no idea if a famous actor-musician-author comes to play tennis.
	11:17am Wind: ↳ mariano @11:10 No, I came here in '86 but that is so funny!!..... whoever announced them said "From Boston, the Caaaaahs!"
	11:19am gabe: ohhh the duplicity!
	11:20am prof.fuzz: Karl Ward and family were wonderful hosts after the Pet Shop show. Mucho gracias!
	👻 11:20am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "It Takes 2" by "Loudon Wainwright III" His voice sounds as good as ever!
	11:20am Kotzwinkled: Loudon is such a sellout (entered a seemingly happy relationship).
	11:21am Wind: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:16 That's different :)
	11:21am McGroovey: I just walk away and come back, and I hear two Loudon Wainwright songs in a row. I hope that doesn't mean he died or something?
	👻 11:22am Karl Ward: ↳ McGroovey @11:21 He's never gonna die, he loves himself too much
	👻 11:22am Karl Ward: Did I say that out loud?
	11:23am Andres: Dug the Loudon. Also, it takes two to make a thing go right.
	11:24am Kotzwinkled: One of my favorite Loudon moments is his "I Don't Think That Your Wife Likes Me" on some BBC live show www.youtube.com...
	11:24am Mortricia: Toss Rufus in there and you have a whole dysfunctional family reunion.
	11:25am McGroovey: ↳ Andres @11:23 It also takes two to make it outta sight, of course.
	11:27am JetBoy of Astoria: Hi all!
	11:27am Jordan in Buffalo: Love this version, as well as Karen Dalton's from the 1966 collection
	11:27am Wind: ↳ Andres @11:23 ha! right
	11:28am Wind: ↳ JetBoy of Astoria @11:27 hey
	11:28am B Wad: Joe McG…Bergen Country Ben here, checking in from Tel Aviv. Lovin’ Loudon double-shot, and humming along with you to that Joe Walsh prog-fill 🤩 🎸
	11:28am Mark Hurst: Thanks, Joe. There is so much surveillance news - RECENT news - worth talking about that I will have to triage to fit it into an hour.
	11:29am JG: On the LLywin Davis soundtrack. love that movie and soundtrack
	11:30am Jordan in Buffalo: And heard the John Peel origin of the name earlier. Love it! My favorite Peel clip is when BBC4 aired an ad for a contest in which the prize was tix to a Genesis concert. Peel came on the air and said, "prize? sounds more like a punishment to me!" and then played some African music
	11:30am Joe McG: @BWad: Ha ha! @Mark: If Mike Sin is in "12 Angry Men," I'm picturing you like Alan Alda on "MASH"!
	11:32am McGroovey: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:24 That's pretty funny.
	11:32am Mark Hurst: I always did like Alda's character.
	11:38am dale: love pentangle's version of this.
	11:39am NikiA: Oh fuck I love this song Pentangle’s version is great but also Olivia Chaney with the Decemberists (they called themselves Offa Rex) have a version that’s amazing. The lyrics are so unusual for a folk song from this time/period.
	11:39am listener monica: Hello, Joe. It's been awhile since I remembered it was Monday.
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dale @11:38 Oh? Thinking SandyDenny singing it ...anybody's probly.
	👻 11:40am officina: Another great show, Joe !
	11:40am B Wad: I love this song…Hearing it makes me wonder, is there any definitive English folk song that Simon & Garfunkel ripped off for Scarborough Fair?
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ NikiA @11:39 We need a SingOff of Willy O'Winsburys clearly.
	👻 11:41am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Willy O'Winsbury" by "Silica Gel" Autoharp alert!
	11:41am dale: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:39 jacqui does it wonderfully. it's such a gothic song that no one can't do it well. wasn't loudon in mash too? both the movie and the show?
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ B Wad @11:40 Traditional itself isn't it ? Modal, btw...
	11:43am Barno in Akron: Not to be confused with the experimental band, Silica Gel on Negativland's SEELAND table.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:41 Here you go: Roud 64, Continental Subway: wfmu.org... Also, Meg Baird has a version.
	11:43am Brendan: i'm gonna have this Silica Gel implanted all week
	👻 11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ B Wad @11:40 I believe the S&G version was based on Martin Carthy's arrangement of the traditional song.
	11:44am dale: google says silica gel is a korean boys band. must be a different silica gel.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 Oo ! Anne Briggs...
	11:45am Handy Haversack: ↳ dale @11:41 The Singing Surgeon!
	11:45am B Wad: Thank you Hughie
	11:46am Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:45 Captain Spalding!
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:44 Aha. PaulSimon & BobDylan alike spent some time in the UK early on...
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: I like John Renbourn's Willy!
	11:47am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @11:47 Ha ha ha!
	11:48am Handy Haversack: Here's this Silica Gel: sweetwreath.bandcamp.com...
	11:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:48 "The sounds are ancient yet futuristic….wurlitzer organ, mandolin and autoharp combine with bent circuits and digital artifacts in a song cycle that progresses like a hauntological play."
	11:49am Wind: that's dark
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Jack O'Diamonds" by "Terry Callier" Like this Gittar tone & style.
	👻 11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:46 True, only S&G went there when they were going nowhere as songwriters and needed to get in on the hip new folk boom. Apparently when they came back to the US and played "Sounds of Silence" to the Greenwich Village hipoisie, they provoked derisive laughter.
	11:50am love2laf: Thank you for a great show Joe, it was sonically emotion filled, a perfect fit for this gloomy monday. Listeners may your day and life be filled with surface noise.
	11:51am Joe McG: ↳ love2laf @11:50 Glad you enjoyed the show! :)
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:50 - & then TomWilson added Electric instruments without even S&G knowing. About as good a Song as ever written, no ?
	11:52am Wind: ↳ love2laf @11:50 Thank you :)
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Nice work, Joe.
	11:53am Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Willy O'Winsbury" by "Silica Gel" One really safe bet when listening to old-timey British Isles music: if you hear the word "pale", coming up next is "and wan". [dunno if I linked this comment to the song which prompted it; I got to the playlist late]
	👻 11:53am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:51 Fantastic song, fantastic vision by Tom Wilson. It wasn't working before. Like putting gloves on Mickey Mouse.
	11:53am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting today, everyone! Hope you have a great week and see you next time.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tatty robe & green tea rather than turtleneck & espresso but digging the stuff outta this Set nonetheless.
	11:54am Jeff Moore: Thanks, Mr. Joe!
	👻 11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Splendid selections today.
	👻 11:54am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Glory, Glory" by "Odetta" Not enough Odetta on this station!
	👻 11:54am Hughie Considine: Thanks for another fine Monday, Mr. DJ!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Great set and show, Joe! Many thanks!
	11:55am Brendan: Amen
