	9:14am Marcel M: Hi Joe! Morning all!
	9:14am Claw!: Good morning, Everyone! Nice start, Joe! I feel like a black-and-white cartoon character. :)
	9:15am Brendan: I love to start the day with a swing set.
	9:16am OTB: Mornin' Joe and all!
	9:18am listener james from westwood: Claw!, I'm putting on my white cartoon gloves as we speak.
	9:19am Joe McG: Hey, Marcel, James, Claw!, OTB! Get on your swing sets.
	9:20am Marcel M: This is GREAT for the morning! I'm dancing while making my coffee today.
	9:20am adrian in mpls: Good morning! Hi Joe! Hi Everyone! Doing a little dance in my office to Mary Lou!
	9:21am adrian in mpls: @Marcel - Ha! This music commands: "Thou must dance!"
	9:22am Marcel M: @Adrian: Indeed it does!
	9:24am Claw!: @james - yeah, I was gonna put mine on too, but then I realized they really cramp my style as far as snapping along is concerned.
	9:24am adrian in mpls: I'm giddy - I have a working record player for the first time in, like, 7-8 years! So, the records I've been buying for the last two years finally can be played!!! Plus, I got my Vac-o-Rec working!
	9:26am Claw!: Yaaaaay, Adrian! I can only imagine how stoked you must be. Like a kid on Xmas morning!
	9:26am Brendan: When you see a horn player using a toilet plunger to mute their instrument, does your mind ever.. you know ...wonder..?
	9:28am V Priceless: hey Joe, all!
	👻 9:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, swingers!
	9:30am V Priceless: dustin' off my spats!
	👻 9:30am doctorjazz: Like listening to Phil Schapp, without the details of what the musicians had for breakfast! Loving it. (Cotton Tail has to be one of the hottest recordings ever).
	9:30am bobdoesthings: goooodmorning
	9:30am davex: Great set - His Orchestra sure got around!
	9:31am bobdoesthings: just in.. but I'm noticing a theme..
	9:32am OTB: This is making a crappy day at work almost tolerable. Thanks, Joe.
	9:32am Cecile: I'm a skating fan, and am always bummed when skaters stick to Glenn Miller for their period numbers. This is such a great era for swing.
	9:32am Joe McG: @davex: Ha ha ha!
	9:33am bobdoesthings: @davex - goodone!
	9:33am Cecile: Joe, in a later vein, Mary Lou Williams's Black Saint of the Andes is worth checking out. It's her tribute to Saint Martin de Porres.
	9:33am Brendan: This swing set has me thinking that i will cruise and swing successfully for foxes if i wear my tight plaid slacks tonight.
	9:34am Cecile: Make sure they are in Miami Beach.
	9:34am Joe McG: @Cecile: Our good friend Scott McDowell played a track from it this very morning!
	9:35am Cecile: they will be all over you, yorgi
	9:35am Cecile: AWESOME!
	9:36am Cecile: I actually learned of it from a jazz dance mixtape on Mixcloud of all places.
	9:37am DeaconDave: Hi Joe, loving the show, keep the flow...
	9:41am Cecile: I did not know that!
	9:41am listener james from westwood: I like the cut of Charlie's jib.
	9:43am Cecile: Charlie was married 11 times?!?!?! I looked at his obit online.
	9:43am Claw!: Awwww, yeeeaaah!
	9:44am MD: Yea for Charlie!!! The 1% opening the minds of th 99%!!!
	9:44am Cecile: I picture Magnum P.I. walking out of the ocean in his little swim trunks to this. mmmm. Magnum.
	9:44am Joe McG: Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that! Charlie was a serial marriager.
	9:44am fleep: Greetings and ampersands to Joe and everyone.
	9:45am Cecile: and he escaped to sea to join a jazz band!
	9:45am Cecile: I gotta read his autobiography.
	9:46am Brendan: Cecile those were one night marriages. The wiki stuff is pretty bizarre with Huey Long and then his stint as an escort to rich cougars in Cuba. Charlie had an .. Interesting life
	9:47am SwazeyLane: First time listener. Really good stuff
	9:47am Cecile: it sounds like it!
	9:47am Joe McG: Welcome to WFMU, SwazeyLane! I hope you'll stay awhile.
	9:48am Cecile: Oh, Magnum, you want me to go to the King Kamehahena Club? Will TC and Rick be there? Then yes! Just let me get my hair curled...
	9:48am Cecile: and then I woke up.
	9:52am Cecile: this is a killer track right here.
	9:52am SwazeyLane: Thanks Joe. Been listening when I can for about a week... Used to tune back in the 60s... Forgot the station still existed ! Thanks NPR for their story
	9:54am Joe McG: Why, thank you, NPR, whatever you are.
	9:56am Cecile: It is interesting. I have had more people ask me about that in one week than in all the years I have been listening.
	9:56am Cecile: Three people, if you're counting.
	9:57am Joe McG: I don't know about anyone else, but I'm counting.
	9:58am Brendan: Welcome Swazey. I too was a first time listener not too long ago. I think you'll fond that we are all pretty good, normal folk once you take your clothes off and listen naked like the rest of us.
	9:58am Cecile: this is also killer.
	10:01am Cecile: how is the rest of this record?
	10:01am matt: Quick search for Wganda Kenya turns up some pretty great cover art.
	10:01am OTB: WHOA!
	10:02am Marmalade Kitty: Hey Joe!
	10:02am Cecile: best cover ever.
	10:02am fleep: Ah ah ah ah.
	10:02am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, Joe! Was that just a Zacherley reference? Morning, gang!
	10:03am Claw!: Now, this right heah - I'm diggin this take.
	10:03am Joe McG: Hey, Kitty! And fleep, MD, DeaconDave, Greg! @Greg: Everything I say is referring to Zacherle.
	👻 10:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Someone, someday will have a three hour show of Staying Alive covers.
	10:05am PKNY: Hey, am I the only one missing clicky-star options in their playlists?
	10:05am Joe McG: @Ken: Don't give me ideas.
	10:05am Yair Yona: @Joe you know it's the right thing to do.
	10:05am cement_dawg: @Ken: Please don't give Joe ideas.
	10:05am PKNY: Never mind, just clicked to the main page, came back and they appeared.
	10:06am Cecile: I vote no. A set is funny, but three hours is pretty tough to take.
	10:06am Cecile: leave 'em wanting more.
	10:06am PKNY: I could deal with 3 hours of "Nights on Broadway" covers, but "Stayin Alive" might be too much for me.
	10:06am Claw!: Nice fuzz, Man!
	10:07am the Canterbury wood-elf: Peruvian psych, YEAH! You spoil us, Joe : )
	10:09am Joe McG: Hey, wood-elf! @PKNY: How about 3 hours of "To Love Somebody"?
	10:09am Brendan: Joe . This is quite possibly exactly the f'ing awesome type of jam that is going to springboard me into an unstoppably groovy day, replete with tremendous funkiness.
	10:09am PKNY: I'm loving that all these funk/soul/psych comps from all over the world are surfacing, there's always something interesting. If I remember correctly, I heard a track from an Iranian one that sounded like Can with a horn section, and the vocalist was doing his best Focus-"Hocus Pocus" impression.
	10:10am Joe McG: @Brendan: Glad to be your springboard into groovy! My new slogan.
	10:10am PKNY: @Joe - I've heard some pretty incredible version of TLS, so a 3 hour set of that doesn't sound like a burden.
	10:11am jillydg: Whhhhhhhewww! Have to compute but can't sit still...
	10:11am Cecile: SLY
	10:12am Malequath: Soooo good.
	10:12am Claw!: Little Sister's got the right idea.
	10:13am V Priceless: monster bass guitar sounds!
	10:15am Joe McG: @VP: Indeed! I would also like to put in a word for the monster bass player in Harlan Leonard and His Rockets. The man rocks.
	10:18am listener james from westwood: I should be moving my laundry from washer to dryer, but I don' wanna leave the speakers!
	10:21am Brendan: Git it on y'all
	10:24am adrian in mpls: @james - just bring the speakers with you!
	10:25am Michele: HI Joe!
	10:26am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! How's things?
	10:28am Brendan: Shhh he's gonna talk!
	10:31am DeaconDave: Who's talking?
	10:31am Claw!: Damn Joe. Killer set.
	10:33am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Joe, do you need Meghan's help with pronouncing African names?
	10:34am Joe McG: @Spatulator: No doubt!
	10:36am Michele: I'm ok, life's hard.
	10:38am Joe McG: @Michele: I guess hard or soft, life is still better than the alternative! :)
	10:39am DeaconDave: Life sucks and then you get a vacuum.
	10:39am Cecile: this sounds like they singing about spaghetti
	10:39am Greg from Bloomfield: I started reading Camus' Caligula this morning, and Caligula is all "Men die; and they are not happy." But he also says some stuff about how there's good stuff like art!
	10:40am Joe McG: @Michele: This Roy Orbison goes out to you!
	10:40am Roberto: My daughter overheard and asked me if this song was about spaghetti.
	10:40am Michele: Oh Joe this Roy Orbison song is perfect right now. THANK YOU!
	10:41am Roberto: Sweet Dispaghetti
	10:41am Cecile: exactly. She's got it right.
	10:41am Pat Boone: Now this the kind of wholesome good clean sound I can get behind.
	10:42am DeaconDave: Would you rather be a head or a little behind?
	10:42am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): I don't think the writer of this song understands basic meteorology.
	10:42am Cecile: horn rock!
	10:43am Cecile: probably the best band of this genre.
	10:43am DeaconDave: I love this part of the show . . .
	10:43am DCE: Lighthouse is cool, I've heard something else by them
	10:44am Greg from Bloomfield: This'd be a good one to drop on Clay Pigeon's head...
	10:45am Marcel M: I saw Clay last night at the Dylan show
	10:45am Cecile: WOW, Howard Shore was in this band.
	10:46am Joe McG: Clay and I are going to do a show together this month or next. Stay tuned!
	10:46am Marcel M: I look forward to that Joe!
	10:47am V Priceless: Dusty Surface!
	10:47am Joe McG: @VP: Nice!
	10:49am Greg from Bloomfield: THAT IS THE BEST NEWS EVER
	👻 10:49am 12539: (hey, it's the 90s!)
	10:49am adrian in mpls: FSA!!! I swoon!
	10:49am Joe McG: @Greg: It's going to be SO much fun.
	10:50am V Priceless: @ Joe - thanx! We should be able to light-up a small city with the amount of positive pop power that show will generate!
	10:50am Joe McG: @12539: You caught me! :)
	10:51am Ben: Greetings from London - really enjoying the show!
	10:52am Joe McG: Hey, Ben, welcome! I love London!
	10:54am Bosh: Killin' it this morning, Joe! Sending love from Newark!
	10:55am Joe McG: Thanks, Bosh! I love Newark!
	10:56am Joe McG: Oh, BTW, stay tuned for the BEST SEGUEWAY of the show, coming up....
	10:56am JakeGould: Nice P.I.L., pal.
	10:57am Marcel M: Oh my god
	10:57am OTB: What the hell?!?!
	10:58am DeaconDave: Wow, I'm impressed.
	10:58am Marcel M: Haaaaaaaaaa!
	10:58am Cecile: oh, I can tell this is a Charlene composition.
	10:58am Malequath: I don't even know what to say right now
	10:58am Pat Boone: Alright!
	10:58am Cecile: she was signed to Motown for a hot minute
	10:59am Malequath: haha this is crazy.
	10:59am steve: greetings Joe and all you nice people
	10:59am Cecile: these lyrics are some of the greatest/worst lyrics ever.
	10:59am Pat Boone: I for one am a big fan of this kind of song.
	10:59am oks: amazing!
	11:00am Greg from Bloomfield: Pat Boone is cracking me up.
	11:00am Roberto: Oh my.
	11:01am Cecile: it actually charted?!??!
	👻 11:01am 12539: Joe, wipe the tear from my eye!
	11:01am Greg from Bloomfield: I don't know whether to clicky star that song or throw my computer out the window...
	11:01am dave from toronto: agreed
	11:01am Pat Boone: Wtf? They said 'hell' ! Godamnit all.
	11:01am Cecile: that was the best worst record I have heard in a long time.
	11:01am Malequath: @Greg my thoughts exactly
	11:02am Bosh: AND I WILL JOE
	11:02am Marcel M: I would do both Greg
	11:02am Cecile: www.sfgate.com...
	11:04am Cecile: they were from Canukcada
	11:04am Cecile: Lighthouse were decent.
	11:04am Achoo: Bless you.
	11:04am Brendan: It had a nice horny sound
	11:05am Cecile: wow, I am still floored by that Charlene/Stevie deal.
	11:08am Marcel M: The Jonas bros picture is very frightening. I did not know about that.
	11:09am matt: Now I am depressed. We really have lost our way.
	11:09am Brendan: The place where the Zep purportedly played their 1st gig on a snowy Nixon inauguration night is just down the street from me. Little gymnasium.
	11:09am Cecile: even lower than jock jams?
	11:13am Cecile: when Sky was Sky Sunlight?
	11:13am Joe McG: @Cecile: Oh no, are there Jock Jams collectors??
	11:14am cement_dawg: Love in a Summer Basket--is that like Dick in a Box?
	11:14am northguineahills: Now, This is What I Call Music collectors?
	11:14am Cecile: Well, there are people who collect sports team records. I personally would like the Houston Oilers one with the tuba.
	11:14am Joe McG: @cement: It's like banana in a fruitbasket by Bo Carter.
	11:15am Joe McG: @Cecile: Ha ha ha!
	11:15am Carmichael: Heya Joe, and heya everyone.
	11:15am Cecile: well played, Mr. McGasko golf clap
	11:16am northguineahills: Luna!
	11:20am Santos L Halper: I think I could spend all day in Brussels with these cats.
	11:23am Cecile: I remember buy8ing this on import cause they didn't put it out here for years.
	11:24am Cecile: he's kind of singing like Nico on this one
	11:24am Bryant: Love the Verlaine solo albums.
	11:24am northguineahills: Me too, Cecile. Then I bought the domestic release.
	11:25am Cecile: hahahahha he has that power over us.
	11:26am Brendan: Hey Carmichael. Your name reminds me of Hoagy Carmichael one my fave movie musicians and his name reminds me of a Hoagy sub . So there.
	11:27am Cecile: Brendan, day drinking is fun, isn't it?
	11:28am Brendan: Is it day?
	11:29am Cecile: hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahha it is here in Minnersota.
	11:29am bill: Hey ish five oclock somewheresh

	11:32am OTB: Cecile: speak of the devil....
	11:33am V Priceless: Cale!

	11:36am MenfussMike: I got this Tom Jones album. It's the only one I own. It's quite good.

	11:43am Cecile: Yay, Finland! I just came from the Upper Peninsula of MI. Hei!

	11:44am Joe McG: Yes, they ARE lovely! Thanks for shouting!
	11:45am Cecile: this was on Warp?
	11:45am SwazeyLane: Sounds Cold but Cool, Finland that is..

Listener comments!
	9:03am Brendan: I'd like to request an hour or Turkmenistanian music.
	9:04am DCE: morning, krew
	9:05am PKNY: Only if there's a Turkmenistanian take on "Eleanor Rigby".
	👻 9:06am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Unseasonable early today.
	9:08am Cheri Pi: Son and friends!
	9:11am Joe McG: Hey, ma! Brendan, DCE, PKNY, Brian UK. Turkeys or Rigbys, who can tell?
	9:13am listener james from westwood: Big ol' block of Barnett and old-school music in general doing me lots of good this morning; thanks!
	9:14am Marcel M: Hi Joe! Morning all!
	9:14am Claw!: Good morning, Everyone! Nice start, Joe! I feel like a black-and-white cartoon character. :)
	9:15am Brendan: I love to start the day with a swing set.
	9:16am OTB: Mornin' Joe and all!
	9:18am listener james from westwood: Claw!, I'm putting on my white cartoon gloves as we speak.
	9:19am Joe McG: Hey, Marcel, James, Claw!, OTB! Get on your swing sets.
	9:20am Marcel M: This is GREAT for the morning! I'm dancing while making my coffee today.
	9:20am adrian in mpls: Good morning! Hi Joe! Hi Everyone! Doing a little dance in my office to Mary Lou!
	9:21am adrian in mpls: @Marcel - Ha! This music commands: "Thou must dance!"
	9:22am Marcel M: @Adrian: Indeed it does!
	9:24am Claw!: @james - yeah, I was gonna put mine on too, but then I realized they really cramp my style as far as snapping along is concerned.
	9:24am adrian in mpls: I'm giddy - I have a working record player for the first time in, like, 7-8 years! So, the records I've been buying for the last two years finally can be played!!! Plus, I got my Vac-o-Rec working!
	9:26am Claw!: Yaaaaay, Adrian! I can only imagine how stoked you must be. Like a kid on Xmas morning!
	9:26am Brendan: When you see a horn player using a toilet plunger to mute their instrument, does your mind ever.. you know ...wonder..?
	9:28am V Priceless: hey Joe, all!
	👻 9:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, swingers!
	9:30am V Priceless: dustin' off my spats!
	👻 9:30am doctorjazz: Like listening to Phil Schapp, without the details of what the musicians had for breakfast! Loving it. (Cotton Tail has to be one of the hottest recordings ever).
	9:30am bobdoesthings: goooodmorning
	9:30am davex: Great set - His Orchestra sure got around!
	9:31am bobdoesthings: just in.. but I'm noticing a theme..
	9:32am OTB: This is making a crappy day at work almost tolerable. Thanks, Joe.
	9:32am Cecile: I'm a skating fan, and am always bummed when skaters stick to Glenn Miller for their period numbers. This is such a great era for swing.
	9:32am Joe McG: @davex: Ha ha ha!
	9:33am bobdoesthings: @davex - goodone!
	9:33am Cecile: Joe, in a later vein, Mary Lou Williams's Black Saint of the Andes is worth checking out. It's her tribute to Saint Martin de Porres.
	9:33am Brendan: This swing set has me thinking that i will cruise and swing successfully for foxes if i wear my tight plaid slacks tonight.
	9:34am Cecile: Make sure they are in Miami Beach.
	9:34am Joe McG: @Cecile: Our good friend Scott McDowell played a track from it this very morning!
	9:35am Cecile: they will be all over you, yorgi
	9:35am Cecile: AWESOME!
	9:36am Cecile: I actually learned of it from a jazz dance mixtape on Mixcloud of all places.
	9:37am DeaconDave: Hi Joe, loving the show, keep the flow...
	9:41am Cecile: I did not know that!
	9:41am listener james from westwood: I like the cut of Charlie's jib.
	9:43am Cecile: Charlie was married 11 times?!?!?! I looked at his obit online.
	9:43am Claw!: Awwww, yeeeaaah!
	9:44am MD: Yea for Charlie!!! The 1% opening the minds of th 99%!!!
	9:44am Cecile: I picture Magnum P.I. walking out of the ocean in his little swim trunks to this. mmmm. Magnum.
	9:44am Joe McG: Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that! Charlie was a serial marriager.
	9:44am fleep: Greetings and ampersands to Joe and everyone.
	9:45am Cecile: and he escaped to sea to join a jazz band!
	9:45am Cecile: I gotta read his autobiography.
	9:46am Brendan: Cecile those were one night marriages. The wiki stuff is pretty bizarre with Huey Long and then his stint as an escort to rich cougars in Cuba. Charlie had an .. Interesting life
	9:47am SwazeyLane: First time listener. Really good stuff
	9:47am Cecile: it sounds like it!
	9:47am Joe McG: Welcome to WFMU, SwazeyLane! I hope you'll stay awhile.
	9:48am Cecile: Oh, Magnum, you want me to go to the King Kamehahena Club? Will TC and Rick be there? Then yes! Just let me get my hair curled...
	9:48am Cecile: and then I woke up.
	9:52am Cecile: this is a killer track right here.
	9:52am SwazeyLane: Thanks Joe. Been listening when I can for about a week... Used to tune back in the 60s... Forgot the station still existed ! Thanks NPR for their story
	9:54am Joe McG: Why, thank you, NPR, whatever you are.
	9:56am Cecile: It is interesting. I have had more people ask me about that in one week than in all the years I have been listening.
	9:56am Cecile: Three people, if you're counting.
	9:57am Joe McG: I don't know about anyone else, but I'm counting.
	9:58am Brendan: Welcome Swazey. I too was a first time listener not too long ago. I think you'll fond that we are all pretty good, normal folk once you take your clothes off and listen naked like the rest of us.
	9:58am Cecile: this is also killer.
	10:01am Cecile: how is the rest of this record?
	10:01am matt: Quick search for Wganda Kenya turns up some pretty great cover art.
	10:01am OTB: WHOA!
	10:02am Marmalade Kitty: Hey Joe!
	10:02am Cecile: best cover ever.
	10:02am fleep: Ah ah ah ah.
	10:02am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, Joe! Was that just a Zacherley reference? Morning, gang!
	10:03am Claw!: Now, this right heah - I'm diggin this take.
	10:03am Joe McG: Hey, Kitty! And fleep, MD, DeaconDave, Greg! @Greg: Everything I say is referring to Zacherle.
	👻 10:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Someone, someday will have a three hour show of Staying Alive covers.
	10:05am PKNY: Hey, am I the only one missing clicky-star options in their playlists?
	10:05am Joe McG: @Ken: Don't give me ideas.
	10:05am Yair Yona: @Joe you know it's the right thing to do.
	10:05am cement_dawg: @Ken: Please don't give Joe ideas.
	10:05am PKNY: Never mind, just clicked to the main page, came back and they appeared.
	10:06am Cecile: I vote no. A set is funny, but three hours is pretty tough to take.
	10:06am Cecile: leave 'em wanting more.
	10:06am PKNY: I could deal with 3 hours of "Nights on Broadway" covers, but "Stayin Alive" might be too much for me.
	10:06am Claw!: Nice fuzz, Man!
	10:07am the Canterbury wood-elf: Peruvian psych, YEAH! You spoil us, Joe : )
	10:09am Joe McG: Hey, wood-elf! @PKNY: How about 3 hours of "To Love Somebody"?
	10:09am Brendan: Joe . This is quite possibly exactly the f'ing awesome type of jam that is going to springboard me into an unstoppably groovy day, replete with tremendous funkiness.
	10:09am PKNY: I'm loving that all these funk/soul/psych comps from all over the world are surfacing, there's always something interesting. If I remember correctly, I heard a track from an Iranian one that sounded like Can with a horn section, and the vocalist was doing his best Focus-"Hocus Pocus" impression.
	10:10am Joe McG: @Brendan: Glad to be your springboard into groovy! My new slogan.
	10:10am PKNY: @Joe - I've heard some pretty incredible version of TLS, so a 3 hour set of that doesn't sound like a burden.
	10:11am jillydg: Whhhhhhhewww! Have to compute but can't sit still...
	10:11am Cecile: SLY
	10:12am Malequath: Soooo good.
	10:12am Claw!: Little Sister's got the right idea.
	10:13am V Priceless: monster bass guitar sounds!
	10:15am Joe McG: @VP: Indeed! I would also like to put in a word for the monster bass player in Harlan Leonard and His Rockets. The man rocks.
	10:18am listener james from westwood: I should be moving my laundry from washer to dryer, but I don' wanna leave the speakers!
	10:21am Brendan: Git it on y'all
	10:24am adrian in mpls: @james - just bring the speakers with you!
	10:25am Michele: HI Joe!
	10:26am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! How's things?
	10:28am Brendan: Shhh he's gonna talk!
	10:31am DeaconDave: Who's talking?
	10:31am Claw!: Damn Joe. Killer set.
	10:33am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Joe, do you need Meghan's help with pronouncing African names?
	10:34am Joe McG: @Spatulator: No doubt!
	10:36am Michele: I'm ok, life's hard.
	10:38am Joe McG: @Michele: I guess hard or soft, life is still better than the alternative! :)
	10:39am DeaconDave: Life sucks and then you get a vacuum.
	10:39am Cecile: this sounds like they singing about spaghetti
	10:39am Greg from Bloomfield: I started reading Camus' Caligula this morning, and Caligula is all "Men die; and they are not happy." But he also says some stuff about how there's good stuff like art!
	10:40am Joe McG: @Michele: This Roy Orbison goes out to you!
	10:40am Roberto: My daughter overheard and asked me if this song was about spaghetti.
	10:40am Michele: Oh Joe this Roy Orbison song is perfect right now. THANK YOU!
	10:41am Roberto: Sweet Dispaghetti
	10:41am Cecile: exactly. She's got it right.
	10:41am Pat Boone: Now this the kind of wholesome good clean sound I can get behind.
	10:42am DeaconDave: Would you rather be a head or a little behind?
	10:42am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): I don't think the writer of this song understands basic meteorology.
	10:42am Cecile: horn rock!
	10:43am Cecile: probably the best band of this genre.
	10:43am DeaconDave: I love this part of the show . . .
	10:43am DCE: Lighthouse is cool, I've heard something else by them
	10:44am Greg from Bloomfield: This'd be a good one to drop on Clay Pigeon's head...
	10:45am Marcel M: I saw Clay last night at the Dylan show
	10:45am Cecile: WOW, Howard Shore was in this band.
	10:46am Joe McG: Clay and I are going to do a show together this month or next. Stay tuned!
	10:46am Marcel M: I look forward to that Joe!
	10:47am V Priceless: Dusty Surface!
	10:47am Joe McG: @VP: Nice!
	10:49am Greg from Bloomfield: THAT IS THE BEST NEWS EVER
	👻 10:49am 12539: (hey, it's the 90s!)
	10:49am adrian in mpls: FSA!!! I swoon!
	10:49am Joe McG: @Greg: It's going to be SO much fun.
	10:50am V Priceless: @ Joe - thanx! We should be able to light-up a small city with the amount of positive pop power that show will generate!
	10:50am Joe McG: @12539: You caught me! :)
	10:51am Ben: Greetings from London - really enjoying the show!
	10:52am Joe McG: Hey, Ben, welcome! I love London!
	10:54am Bosh: Killin' it this morning, Joe! Sending love from Newark!
	10:55am Joe McG: Thanks, Bosh! I love Newark!
	10:56am Joe McG: Oh, BTW, stay tuned for the BEST SEGUEWAY of the show, coming up....
	10:56am JakeGould: Nice P.I.L., pal.
	10:57am Marcel M: Oh my god
	10:57am OTB: What the hell?!?!
	10:58am DeaconDave: Wow, I'm impressed.
	10:58am Marcel M: Haaaaaaaaaa!
	10:58am Cecile: oh, I can tell this is a Charlene composition.
	10:58am Malequath: I don't even know what to say right now
	10:58am Pat Boone: Alright!
	10:58am Cecile: she was signed to Motown for a hot minute
	10:59am Malequath: haha this is crazy.
	10:59am steve: greetings Joe and all you nice people
	10:59am Cecile: these lyrics are some of the greatest/worst lyrics ever.
	10:59am Pat Boone: I for one am a big fan of this kind of song.
	10:59am oks: amazing!
	11:00am Greg from Bloomfield: Pat Boone is cracking me up.
	11:00am Roberto: Oh my.
	11:01am Cecile: it actually charted?!??!
	👻 11:01am 12539: Joe, wipe the tear from my eye!
	11:01am Greg from Bloomfield: I don't know whether to clicky star that song or throw my computer out the window...
	11:01am dave from toronto: agreed
	11:01am Pat Boone: Wtf? They said 'hell' ! Godamnit all.
	11:01am Cecile: that was the best worst record I have heard in a long time.
	11:01am Malequath: @Greg my thoughts exactly
	11:02am Bosh: AND I WILL JOE
	11:02am Marcel M: I would do both Greg
	11:02am Cecile: www.sfgate.com...
	11:04am Cecile: they were from Canukcada
	11:04am Cecile: Lighthouse were decent.
	11:04am Achoo: Bless you.
	11:04am Brendan: It had a nice horny sound
	11:05am Cecile: wow, I am still floored by that Charlene/Stevie deal.
	11:08am Marcel M: The Jonas bros picture is very frightening. I did not know about that.
	11:09am matt: Now I am depressed. We really have lost our way.
	11:09am Brendan: The place where the Zep purportedly played their 1st gig on a snowy Nixon inauguration night is just down the street from me. Little gymnasium.
	11:09am Cecile: even lower than jock jams?
	11:13am Cecile: when Sky was Sky Sunlight?
	11:13am Joe McG: @Cecile: Oh no, are there Jock Jams collectors??
	11:14am cement_dawg: Love in a Summer Basket--is that like Dick in a Box?
	11:14am northguineahills: Now, This is What I Call Music collectors?
	11:14am Cecile: Well, there are people who collect sports team records. I personally would like the Houston Oilers one with the tuba.
	11:14am Joe McG: @cement: It's like banana in a fruitbasket by Bo Carter.

	11:24am Bryant: Love the Verlaine solo albums.
	11:24am northguineahills: Me too, Cecile. Then I bought the domestic release.

	11:45am Cecile: this was on Warp?
