	1:48pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:44 Yes, after you've drunk a few beers and you want to drive (i can speak from personal experience)
	👻 1:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: The best ones are the Blue Ribbonoo Rubinoos.
	1:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:48 OK, granted. But that's a very specific case out of the whole panoply of human experience!
	1:49pm Megaroni: Bitchin’ interview! Rock on Joe:)
	1:50pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:48 I did that once. I don't remember the drive. Thankfully it was rural Colorado in the 70's.
	1:51pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:49 true, but you asked the question. I would say quaaludes have gotten a lot of people in a lot of trouble
	1:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:50 I ended up rear ending someone, kind of gently, in the suburbs of Chicago (in the 80s)

	1:57pm Gregosaurus: They might not like it, but thought "If I Had You Back" was awesome. Even tho it got put thru The Utopiizer™.
	1:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:51 Oh, you're right. Alas.
	2:01pm Bill in W.O.: I saw these guys at IPO in 1999 - at the Troubadour. They were great.
	👻 2:02pm Karl: ↳ Song: "interview" by "The Rubinoos" Did they just say they are almost finished with an a cappella full album cover of We're Only in it for the Money? I think that's what I heard.

	2:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe B @2:33 K8 and I rarely divide forces for shows but kind of had to this time around.
	👻 2:36pm egould: ↳ Song: "Something In My Basement" by "Purling Hiss" This one just chugs along! So good.
	2:37pm Joe B: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:34 there were like 5 quality options thursday friday and saturday

	👻 2:39pm San Pedro Girl: Hey there, Handy!
	2:39pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Hold The Building Up/The Prison Within" by "Prison" this one's crazy
	2:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe B @2:37 Union Pool has the distinct advantage of being walking distance for me -- especially since the local subway line is not running!
	2:40pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:40 yipe!
	👻 2:41pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:40 Is your refrigerator running?
	2:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:40 Such a pain the butt.
	2:41pm Joe B: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:40 nice
	2:41pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:41 was ist das Reason?
	2:42pm clarke: flipper-esque.
	2:43pm clarke: my refrigerator runs with a tough crowd.
	2:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:41 They're putting in new signals supposedly. Our local electeds tried to get them to also give us longer trains and extend the line, but when the governor is actively throwing transit under the bus (or under the private car), it's hard to have nice things.
	2:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @2:41 Better not be -- that's why we tied it to the radiator.
	2:44pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:43 dangit.
	2:44pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: I kinda like this...
	2:45pm Philip: this is my life's soundtrack
	👻 2:45pm egould: ↳ clarke @2:43 Oh man, that's cold.
	2:45pm spodiodi: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:44 "under the private car" hah. indeed.
	2:45pm clarke: ↳ egould @2:45 tell that to the oven!!
	2:47pm Marie in Chicago: Lovin' this set
	2:47pm Joe B: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:43 the uber lobby is strong
	2:48pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @2:47 taxi mafia??
	👻 2:49pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Joe B @2:47 Is that what is happening, uber taking over?
	2:50pm clarke: yeah, my question is: has the uber noticeably cut the amount of cabs one used to see in nyc?
	2:50pm Joe B: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:43 the mta has been a disastrous money pit for decades. i don't hold the governor soley responsible.
	👻 2:51pm egould: Monster Magnet space rock ending.
	2:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:48 No, PARKING mafia. Taxis are definitely not the problem. And yes, it's MUCH harder to find a cap, esp. in the boroughs. In central Manhattan, it's still doable, but you just don't see them even in the inner boroughs anymore.
	👻 2:51pm Mike From Brooklyn: I've got to drop. Thanks for a great show Joe!
	2:52pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:51 was wondering.
	👻 2:52pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:51 Really??
	2:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe B @2:50 True, but just when the MTA finally has a fiscally sound plan that also happens to help us meet our climate goals, Governor Cowardly feels the pressure of ... voters in New Jersey? It's fine. I'm sure she has a plan for the $16 billion in revenue the MTA is losing. I have total confidence.
	2:52pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Hold The Building Up/The Prison Within" by "Prison" have to say again ⭐️
	2:53pm Joe B: ↳ clarke @2:52 yeah taxis are nit the problem. it's uber/lyft.
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for a great show, Joe! Top-notch stuff!

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

	2:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe B @2:33 K8 and I rarely divide forces for shows but kind of had to this time around.
	👻 2:36pm egould: ↳ Song: "Something In My Basement" by "Purling Hiss" This one just chugs along! So good.

	👻 2:39pm San Pedro Girl: Hey there, Handy!
	2:39pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Hold The Building Up/The Prison Within" by "Prison" this one's crazy
	2:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe B @2:37 Union Pool has the distinct advantage of being walking distance for me -- especially since the local subway line is not running!
	2:40pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:40 yipe!
	👻 2:41pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:40 Is your refrigerator running?
	2:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:40 Such a pain the butt.
	2:41pm Joe B: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:40 nice
	2:41pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:41 was ist das Reason?
	2:42pm clarke: flipper-esque.
	2:43pm clarke: my refrigerator runs with a tough crowd.
	2:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:41 They're putting in new signals supposedly. Our local electeds tried to get them to also give us longer trains and extend the line, but when the governor is actively throwing transit under the bus (or under the private car), it's hard to have nice things.
	2:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @2:41 Better not be -- that's why we tied it to the radiator.
	2:44pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:43 dangit.
	2:44pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: I kinda like this...
	2:45pm Philip: this is my life's soundtrack
	👻 2:45pm egould: ↳ clarke @2:43 Oh man, that's cold.

	2:45pm clarke: ↳ egould @2:45 tell that to the oven!!
	2:47pm Marie in Chicago: Lovin' this set
	2:47pm Joe B: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:43 the uber lobby is strong
	2:48pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @2:47 taxi mafia??
	👻 2:49pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Joe B @2:47 Is that what is happening, uber taking over?
	2:50pm clarke: yeah, my question is: has the uber noticeably cut the amount of cabs one used to see in nyc?
	2:50pm Joe B: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:43 the mta has been a disastrous money pit for decades. i don't hold the governor soley responsible.
	👻 2:51pm egould: Monster Magnet space rock ending.
	2:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:48 No, PARKING mafia. Taxis are definitely not the problem. And yes, it's MUCH harder to find a cap, esp. in the boroughs. In central Manhattan, it's still doable, but you just don't see them even in the inner boroughs anymore.
	👻 2:51pm Mike From Brooklyn: I've got to drop. Thanks for a great show Joe!
	2:52pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:51 was wondering.
	👻 2:52pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:51 Really??
	2:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe B @2:50 True, but just when the MTA finally has a fiscally sound plan that also happens to help us meet our climate goals, Governor Cowardly feels the pressure of ... voters in New Jersey? It's fine. I'm sure she has a plan for the $16 billion in revenue the MTA is losing. I have total confidence.
	2:52pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Hold The Building Up/The Prison Within" by "Prison" have to say again ⭐️
	2:53pm Joe B: ↳ clarke @2:52 yeah taxis are nit the problem. it's uber/lyft.
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for a great show, Joe! Top-notch stuff!
	2:53pm spodiodi: ↳ Joe B @2:53 what a mess of a nightmare those are.
	2:53pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown" by "Neil Young wi... Take 14! thanks joe, great show!
	2:53pm Joe B: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:52 the mta's plan was horseshit, to be honest. if it started june 30, next june 30, we'd be reading about their 20 million budget shortfall
	2:54pm bradford: Thanks, Joe!
	2:54pm spodiodi: thanks, Joe! really enjoyed the interview and the whole show!
	2:54pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: @Clarke, re: "taxi mafia??" Taxi Boys!
