	12:56am Holly in NC: Roused again! Flaming Groovies in any configuration get me every time ;-) Plus I can't remember the last time I heard someone other than a wee Gothlet play Joy Division for the pure pleasure (ha!) of it. AND there are NO bad versions of Whiskey in the Jar.
	12:58am Holly in NC: By wee gothlet I mean teenage kids I tutor and adore, not any djs who I didn't see on the comment board!!
	12:58am Joe McG: @Holly: Me, I like sleepin'!
	1:00am mordred: Bunuel would sleep constantly to get ideas for his films (andalusian dog)
	1:00am Holly in NC: You did just kill a fine segue.
	1:02am Joe McG: @Holly: I didn't kill it. The FCC did. @mordred: I like to sleep during Bunuel's films.
	1:03am mordred: Yeah mainlinin bunuel he might have did his job
	1:04am FCC: I didn't kill it! The law clearly stipulates the FMU/MFU tongue twister is dead upon arrival.

	1:17am mordred: calling occupants of interplanetary craft come to mind but also his wind machine
	1:18am Joe McG: @Droll: Bonham, indeed! @mordred: You asked for it!
	1:19am mordred: hahaha!!
	1:19am Matt from Springfield: And here comes Klaatu! Haven't heard much of them besides the famous "Calling Occupants.." whereas other stuff sounded prog, this has more of a Glam feel to it.
	1:21am 12539: At least it's not Anus of Uranus.
	1:22am Joe McG: Ha ha ha, 12539 knows his Klaatu!
	1:22am Minnesota Jeff: Rock and Roll
	1:22am Joe McG: Or HER Klaatu. Making assumptions here.
	1:23am 12539: (his)
	1:23am Holly in NC: Drat you, Joe McGasko! How can I not get up for the Skunks?
	1:24am mordred: earthquake theme lubricated goats nervequake go niners
	1:24am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: In tribute to last August on the East Coast, now DO THE EARTHQUAKE SHAKE!!
	1:25am Joe McG: @12539: Thanks! Didn't mean to pigeonhole you! @All: Shake your earthquakes.
	1:26am meghan: I had Dave b write that. We were driving back from Brooklyn. I'll see you monday! H
	1:26am meghan: I had Dave b write that. We were driving back from Brooklyn. I'll see you monday! H
	1:27am Holly in NC: @Matt - Yes! I was the basement of a coffee shop, I thought the espresso machine had exploded ;-)
	1:27am John L.: God, this set is making me nostalgic. How about some Be Bop Deluxe, Steve Harley, Lindisfarne or Strawbs?
	1:29am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: Ha ha! At my work building they're doing so much work, for the first 10 seconds I thought they were drilling or something in the floor beneath me--then we realized it was an earthquake and it was over 5 seconds later!
	1:30am Holly in NC: That dratted Michigan Meltdown lp is not available anywhere.
	1:31am Matt from Springfield: @John: Stay tuned for the 3rd hour, after Single File. Joe gets heavy into folk, or country, or soul, or some kind of long set to space out to in that hour usually!
	1:33am mordred: hoople produced by bowie of course spreadin the disease of glam
	1:33am meghan: That's Tin Lizzy... As they say in Ireland....
	1:34am Matt from Springfield: Mmmm, brandy! What brand? I think I might have some cognac or armagnac hidden somewhere.
	1:34am Syl: Loving the show, Joe! Greetings from bone-chilling San Francisco. Hot Knives were right: winter has come.
	1:35am Joe McG: @Matt: I'm going to hire you as my P.R. @Meghan: T'in Lizzy: I finally get it! Ha! @Syl: Welcome to SF and you!
	1:35am Matt from Springfield: @meghan: Other commenters in Ireland say the Dublin area especially drops the TH--to say "thirty", you say "terty"!
	1:36am Matt from Springfield: Why Joe, I'd be honored! The only payment I require..is more brandy! :)
	1:39am Joe McG: @Matt: Can be arranged!
	1:41am Holly in NC: Who is this Fab?
	1:41am Matt from Springfield: Awesome! :) THE COWSILLS! Also awesome! Didn't know they were trying to get into hard rock by '71!
	1:42am Joe McG: @John L: I ran out of time before 1:30, but I swear to Garsh I had "Loretta's Tune" by Steve Harley all lined up!
	1:43am Joe McG: @Holly: I don't know nothin' about Fab, but the B-side is even better than what I played. I'll get to it in the future.
	1:43am mordred: tool of civilization
	1:44am Joe McG: @Matt: Everybody writes off the Cowsills, but I think they did their best stuff once they stopped having hits. The II x II and On My Side LPs are great!
	1:47am Mike Sin: re:"Covered Wagon" The last single by the original Cowsills
	1:48am Joe McG: Except Mom was retired by then!
	1:49am Holly in NC: @Mike Sin - Yes, and REALLY hard to find. Grr. Lucky for us Joe is a sharing kind of guy!
	1:50am Joe McG: @Holly: :)
	1:51am mordred: wheres the totally psychotic motown covers rock the boat rock the boat great psychotic 70s detective movies make it so!!
	1:51am Matt from Springfield: Whoa, 70s Zodiac soul! The stereotypical Ladies Man asking about your sign. You should play "Float On" as a follow up!
	1:52am Joe McG: @modred: You've had your treat for the evening!
	1:52am david from ks.: ,,,,sucking shit steady on,,,,,thank ful for archives
	1:52am Joe D.: I love that crazy spacey whistle sound effect during the horiscope count-down. What would you call that?
	1:53am John L.: Thinking Fellers offshoot, Job's Daughters, do a nice version of the Cowsills "Prophecy Of Daniel and John the Divine." And the whole show is great, I can live without the Harley.
	1:53am Holly in NC: Sagittarius myself. Maybe. Born 2 months early, so I always wonder if I should really be ..?
	1:54am Joe McG: @Joe D: I think it's just a synth, prob. a Moog or ARP. @John L: Thanks for the info and glad you're enjoying. @Holly: I almost got out "Float On"!
	1:55am yoman: Nice Four Tops pick, I had forgotten this one. Thanks!
	1:56am Holly in NC: @John L - I LOVE you! Or, rather, I LOVE that you know Job's Daughters;-) For just one second I thought the Four Tops were going to bust into Kiss 'I Was Made For Loving You' (I know, it would be vice versa, so now I wonder about that!)
	1:56am mordred: daishikis and white pants afros in la
	1:57am Joe McG: @Holly: When I do that segue in the future, I will credit you in the footnotes.
	1:58am Holly in NC: Thank you!
	2:00am John L.: Thanks, Holly. I remember hearing them on a comp that came with a magazine called Bananfish.
	2:00am John L.: That's Bananafish. past my bedtime.
	2:01am Matt from Springfield: Wooooo! Johnny Otis! THE Johnny Otis SHOW, in fact!
	2:05am Holly in NC: Johnny Otis = coolest guy ever? AND nice?
	2:09am Matt from Springfield: Enjoy, Enjoy....
	2:10am Joe B: glad to hear some post-MotownTops! been getting back into those records. They had several huge hits after leaving Motown
	2:10am 12539: Speaking of the archive, see you there later Joe. Sleep time for me.
	2:13am Joe McG: Hey, Joe B! Sleep deep, 12539!
	2:16am Joe D.: were they quoting (in the jazz sense) Salt Peanuts at the beginning of this? Brilliant!
	2:16am Holly in NC: Chico's Girl - what a great reference!
	2:18am Joe B: enjoyed single file on the way home from work as usual! great soundtrack!
	2:19am Holly in NC: I guess you can't play any Snatch & the Poontangs...sometimes 'web only' is a beautiful thing
	2:20am Joe McG: Thanks, Joe B! High flattery! @Joe D: Yes, there was definitely some "Salt Peanuts" happening there...
	2:21am Joe McG: @Holly: Yes, a Web show will have to go there. Even after midnight, I can't, really.
	2:22am Holly in NC: @Joe, I know, no worries!
	2:33am Matt from Springfield: Thanks for including the great Etta in here Joe!
	2:35am Matt from Springfield: I found it kind of funny reading her obit, that her given name was Jamesetta, so one manager took that and reversed it for her stage name!
	2:43am Joe McG: That's a great story, Matt!
	2:45am Matt from Springfield: I like "Etta James"--and it worked out so well for her! And here's our friend Yair!
	2:46am Matt from Springfield: That was a nice Karen Dalton demo--do you think that song sounds a bit like late 60s Bee Gees, if it had a full arrangement?
	2:48am Joe McG: Hmm, I hadn't thought of it. I wonder if the Bee Gees ever did it? Possible.
	2:50am East Bay T: gorgeous song
	2:52am Pigeon: I love this Gang song. James Gang rides again. Thanks for playing this.
	2:53am Joe McG: No problem, Pige. Hey, East Bay T!
	2:54am Matt from Springfield: Hard to believe this is the James Gang! I love it! I must find more! Hello Mr. Pigeon! :)
	2:54am Pigeon: Bomber Medley also rules. Hey Matt!
	2:55am Joe McG: This next song goes out by request. Goodnight, everybody, and thanks for listening!
	2:57am Matt from Springfield: Ahh, lush Buffalo Springfield. Nice request! Thanks for another hit show Joe! Have a good night everyone!
	2:59am yoman: Thanks for playing! Good night!
	3:01am Matt from Springfield: Hmm, Tim Hardin wrote that Karen song. He had a wonderful writing style covered by many artists in the 60s, maybe that's what sounded familiar about it.
	10:21am G: Holly in NC can type into a keyboard under the covers? I've done a lot with a computer over the years, but that's talent. And determination. I wonder if she fell asleep about 2:30, and awoke Sunday morning with the imprint of a QWERTY kb on her torso.

	1:51am mordred: wheres the totally psychotic motown covers rock the boat rock the boat great psychotic 70s detective movies make it so!!
	1:51am Matt from Springfield: Whoa, 70s Zodiac soul! The stereotypical Ladies Man asking about your sign. You should play "Float On" as a follow up!
	1:52am Joe McG: @modred: You've had your treat for the evening!
	1:52am david from ks.: ,,,,sucking shit steady on,,,,,thank ful for archives
	1:52am Joe D.: I love that crazy spacey whistle sound effect during the horiscope count-down. What would you call that?
	1:53am John L.: Thinking Fellers offshoot, Job's Daughters, do a nice version of the Cowsills "Prophecy Of Daniel and John the Divine." And the whole show is great, I can live without the Harley.
	1:53am Holly in NC: Sagittarius myself. Maybe. Born 2 months early, so I always wonder if I should really be ..?
	1:54am Joe McG: @Joe D: I think it's just a synth, prob. a Moog or ARP. @John L: Thanks for the info and glad you're enjoying. @Holly: I almost got out "Float On"!
	1:55am yoman: Nice Four Tops pick, I had forgotten this one. Thanks!
	1:56am Holly in NC: @John L - I LOVE you! Or, rather, I LOVE that you know Job's Daughters;-) For just one second I thought the Four Tops were going to bust into Kiss 'I Was Made For Loving You' (I know, it would be vice versa, so now I wonder about that!)
	1:56am mordred: daishikis and white pants afros in la
	1:57am Joe McG: @Holly: When I do that segue in the future, I will credit you in the footnotes.
	1:58am Holly in NC: Thank you!
	2:00am John L.: Thanks, Holly. I remember hearing them on a comp that came with a magazine called Bananfish.
	2:00am John L.: That's Bananafish. past my bedtime.
	2:01am Matt from Springfield: Wooooo! Johnny Otis! THE Johnny Otis SHOW, in fact!
	2:05am Holly in NC: Johnny Otis = coolest guy ever? AND nice?
	2:09am Matt from Springfield: Enjoy, Enjoy....
	2:10am Joe B: glad to hear some post-MotownTops! been getting back into those records. They had several huge hits after leaving Motown
	2:10am 12539: Speaking of the archive, see you there later Joe. Sleep time for me.
	2:13am Joe McG: Hey, Joe B! Sleep deep, 12539!
	2:16am Joe D.: were they quoting (in the jazz sense) Salt Peanuts at the beginning of this? Brilliant!
	2:16am Holly in NC: Chico's Girl - what a great reference!
	2:18am Joe B: enjoyed single file on the way home from work as usual! great soundtrack!
	2:19am Holly in NC: I guess you can't play any Snatch & the Poontangs...sometimes 'web only' is a beautiful thing
	2:20am Joe McG: Thanks, Joe B! High flattery! @Joe D: Yes, there was definitely some "Salt Peanuts" happening there...
	2:21am Joe McG: @Holly: Yes, a Web show will have to go there. Even after midnight, I can't, really.
	2:22am Holly in NC: @Joe, I know, no worries!
	2:33am Matt from Springfield: Thanks for including the great Etta in here Joe!
	2:35am Matt from Springfield: I found it kind of funny reading her obit, that her given name was Jamesetta, so one manager took that and reversed it for her stage name!
	2:43am Joe McG: That's a great story, Matt!
	2:45am Matt from Springfield: I like "Etta James"--and it worked out so well for her! And here's our friend Yair!
	2:46am Matt from Springfield: That was a nice Karen Dalton demo--do you think that song sounds a bit like late 60s Bee Gees, if it had a full arrangement?
	2:48am Joe McG: Hmm, I hadn't thought of it. I wonder if the Bee Gees ever did it? Possible.
	2:50am East Bay T: gorgeous song
	2:52am Pigeon: I love this Gang song. James Gang rides again. Thanks for playing this.
	2:53am Joe McG: No problem, Pige. Hey, East Bay T!
	2:54am Matt from Springfield: Hard to believe this is the James Gang! I love it! I must find more! Hello Mr. Pigeon! :)
	2:54am Pigeon: Bomber Medley also rules. Hey Matt!
	2:55am Joe McG: This next song goes out by request. Goodnight, everybody, and thanks for listening!
	2:57am Matt from Springfield: Ahh, lush Buffalo Springfield. Nice request! Thanks for another hit show Joe! Have a good night everyone!
	2:59am yoman: Thanks for playing! Good night!
	3:01am Matt from Springfield: Hmm, Tim Hardin wrote that Karen song. He had a wonderful writing style covered by many artists in the 60s, maybe that's what sounded familiar about it.
	10:21am G: Holly in NC can type into a keyboard under the covers? I've done a lot with a computer over the years, but that's talent. And determination. I wonder if she fell asleep about 2:30, and awoke Sunday morning with the imprint of a QWERTY kb on her torso.
