	9:14am Joe McG: @Brendan: The high lonesome wail?
	9:15am Marcel M: Just ordered this LP!
	9:15am the Canterbury wood-elf: Apparently this crew have been supporting Hawkwind of late. Sounds like a perfect night out to me (earplugs necessary I suspect).
	9:17am redkayak: That was nice.....
	9:18am Marcel M: Damn that does sound like an amazing bill!
	9:18am Claw!: Good morning, indeed! Nice groove here... Hey Joe! Hey Urrybody!
	9:22am Joe McG: @Marcel: Nice! The payola was worth it. @Claw!: There are TWO good versions of this on the 9-CD BOX SET we just got.
	9:26am PKNY: Good TZAG, Joe and ev-er-ry-body! Just added to my holiday to-do list: get more familiar with Earthling Society. Stellar choice of cover material!
	9:28am SwazeyLane: Good morning from windy NorCal
	👻 9:30am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Life is a box set.
	9:31am Claw!: :-0 Wowwwwiiiieeee! I'm hoping you'll be playing more hott jamz from this box set!
	9:31am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! With too many bad outtakes.
	👻 9:31am Brian in UK: Do you folks still refer to the lavatory as the 'can'.
	9:31am Marcel M: @Joe: Looking forward to hearing the rest of the record.
	9:33am Marcel M: I bought that can "I want more" picture disc 7" at the St. Marks Kims location when I was 18 or so. I had just discovered the first four or five records and was blown away/obbsessed. I was VERY confused by "I want more" when I got home and spun it.
	9:33am Claw!: "Plastiktanz," eh? Mama likey!
	👻 9:34am Liz Berg: Killin' it already today, McGasko!
	9:35am Joe McG: @Marcel: Did you ever see "Movern Callar"? That song turned my head around in that movie. @Liz: LIZ B! :)
	9:36am Brendan: Props for the Beefheart, Joe
	9:38am Brendan: I wonder if Capn beefheart is referred to as anticuchos in Peru
	9:43am Marcel M: @Joe: No I haven't! Will have to check it out.
	9:44am bill: The hits just keep on coming! great show Joe.
	9:45am Marcel M: Heavy
	9:46am Joe McG: Thanks, bill! I'll announce these songs one of these days.
	9:47am βrian: I can hear the sand in the guitars.
	9:47am Chris M.: this is real good
	👻 9:49am Brian in UK: 09:30
	9:50am Mark: This Peruvian "Hey Joe" is an absolute nuthouse! Anybody who doesn't love this is an idiot.
	9:50am Brendan: Yeah Joe, where ARE you going with that toilet plunger and mop in your hand?
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Joe's Celestial Sequencing.
	9:56am βrian: Terna dos Curumins; Looks to mean "Land of children."
	9:58am βrian: Scratch that. Misread the first word, but maybe the second is similar to "urchins?"
	9:59am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, Joe! Morning, gang!
	10:00am DeaconDave: Where am I?
	10:00am βrian: So is that to mean, "England, have my bones?" Or "England has my bones?"
	10:01am bill: Tried watching Roller Boogie last night, had to turn it off
	10:01am the Canterbury wood-elf: @βrian: Yeah, that missing comma was puzzling me too!
	10:02am Joe McG: @Brian: Only the band knows. They either don't believe in commas or they conjugate poorly.
	👻 10:02am Brian in UK: Olde Ingerlish like.
	10:02am Claw!: Yessssss. I love this kind of shit, because I'm a funk junkie AND a grooveaholic. You're my pusher man, Joe.
	10:03am Claw!: Dat trumpet, doe...
	10:03am the Canterbury wood-elf: Not enough mariachi-style trumpet solos in disco!
	10:04am Don'tTellMeIfYouFindATypoInMyNovel: But can you take it really really REALLY funky...?
	10:04am OTB: If ever there was music to update the copier codes spreadsheet to, this would be it.
	10:04am Joe McG: @Claw!: Ha ha! @Canterbury: I've got a disco 12" with a VIOLIN solo on it with me. Should I play it?
	10:05am Claw!: I vote "yes."
	👻 10:06am Brian in UK: I'm as funky as a washing line I'm as funky as a sheep dip I'm as funky as a spirit level I'm as funky as Richard Branson
	10:06am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Joe Please do! Violin lines in disco were always far too limited (those rapid descents). And yes, ES may conjugate poorly, but they rock very very well!
	👻 10:06am Brian in UK: Joe got any funk bagpipes. Pibloch.
	10:08am Joe McG: You got it, listen for the violin solo in the middle, highly unexpected!
	10:09am Claw!: Beautiful. Love that disco bass progression, too.
	10:09am Brian: That was indeed super funky...
	10:10am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Anyone remember a kids magazine in the 70's called Dynamite? This song should be it's anthem.
	10:11am Brendan: This all funked up
	10:11am Claw!: @Brian - you might wanna hear some Rufus Harley, but he's definitely not THIS funky.
	10:12am OTB: Jennique: Yes! Got it from the Scholastic order form from school. I think Scott Baio and Leif Garrett were in every issue....
	10:12am Claw!: There it is! Noice!
	10:12am Brendan: Jean Luc Ponty?
	10:12am the Canterbury wood-elf: That violin solo kind of worked!
	10:13am Mark: Oh, yes, this is indeed...dy-no-mite!
	10:13am the Canterbury wood-elf: ...and a trumpet solo to boot. Got any bassoon disco?
	10:14am βrian: Ach, love bassoon! Music on the DL.
	10:14am the Canterbury wood-elf: I was actually joking, but Google isn't - Joe, you MUST track this one down! davidawells.com...
	10:15am Mark: "Dynamite" should have been in "Rocky"--like when he's training with Apollo Creed.
	👻 10:15am Brian in UK: I'm a cor anglais man, personally. (indicates gruff accent)
	10:15am Joe McG: Oh, Canterbury, I NEED that record!!!!
	10:16am Claw!: We need some disco washboard up in dis bitch!
	10:16am Mark: "I Love Your Big Bassoon"--if you know what I'm sayin'.
	10:18am βrian: Schwanzstucker disco?
	👻 10:20am Ken From Hyde Park: Here's the joke I made up today: Kid: "Don't get smooth peanut butter. Get the other kind." Me: "What kind do you want me to get? Wrinkled?"
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: There is a great line on the site 'Other Blogging Bassoonists'
	10:20am Joe McG: I have a disco saw record.
	10:20am Greg from Bloomfield: I wonder what my company's policy is re: dancing on your desk...
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: Get some cream for it, Joe.
	10:21am βrian: I have a disco record saw.
	10:24am Joe McG: I think Dionne was looking for her "e" during this number. She doesn't appear to be in attendance.
	10:26am Claw!: Joe knows - I have Eleanor Rigby on saw. It's as awesome as you'd imagine. How about disco ER??? Ya got that?
	10:27am Mark: This is the album with the 18 minute version of "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." "Chocolate Chip" is one of the silliest things I've ever heard. This guitar player's trying to keep it real by going all Ernie Isley/Hendrix, but it ain't workin'.
	10:28am Joe McG: @Mark: No, actually, this is the one where he and Dionne combine "Phoenix" and "Walk On By" into an amazing medley. You're thinking of "Hot Buttered Soul."
	10:29am Mark: Oh, you're right!
	10:30am Brendan: This part of the song they break into the outro of Freebird
	10:31am Marcel M: Its that time!
	10:31am the Canterbury wood-elf: Disco Freebird anyone?
	10:34am Cheri Pi: Good morning Sonny boy and friends
	10:34am bill: Noise and funk done brung. nice work.
	10:35am Claw!: Yo, Cheri!
	10:35am Joe McG: Hey, MAAAAW!
	10:36am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: i think we need to bring back the catch phrase DY NO MITE. Really. It sounds so good saying it. Jimmie Walker was onto something.
	10:36am Brendan: I loved JJs and Thelma's interchanges.
	10:37am Joe McG: That's a DY-NO-MITE idea, Jennique!
	10:38am βrian: It especially worked for Jimmie because he had the choppers.
	10:41am Nate K: James and Bobby! Nice one.
	10:42am Mark: You realize every office in Manhattan is having a big dance party right now, right? No work is getting done, phones are ringing off the hook, the world economy is on pause...
	10:43am βrian: "If the good lord didn't want you to shake your tailfeather, she wouldn't have given you such a wide and expansive one."
	10:43am Joe McG: Hey, Nate! @Mark: That's such a pretty picture you painted, Mark!
	10:44am βrian: @Mark: You mean Wall Street regulation is a reality now?
	10:49am Marcel M: Work time :-(. Bye Joe, bye all!
	10:49am Mark: Joe, I'm pretty sure it's a variation on a scene from "The Blues Brothers." Brian, quite the contrary--with no regulations you're free to dance while your risky investments implode, secure in the knowledge that the American taxpayer will always have your back
	10:51am Joe McG: I used to have a Blues Brothers 45 but I lost it.
	10:52am the Canterbury wood-elf: Heavy on the lyrical tautology, this JG&JS.
	10:53am cement_dawg: Chicago much?
	10:53am Brendan: Red is red black is black and blue is blue ... Works for me
	10:55am Brendan: This has a feel good Chicago everybody havin lunch in the park sound
	10:56am OTB: If ever there was music to wonder what I'm going to have for lunch by, this would be it.
	10:56am Nate K: Ann Peebles did this right?
	10:57am Joe McG: @Brendan: It bothers me a bit that he avoided the obvious rhyme in that song."You know you make me happy/You make me smile when I'm feeling badly." Should be "crappy," don't you think?
	10:58am Joe McG: @Nate: Yeah! First LP? I can't remember!
	10:58am Greg from Bloomfield: YEAH JOE!!! <fist pump>
	10:58am paula pc: today's show: SMOKIN
	10:58am Claw!: LOL
	10:58am Cheri Pi: CLICK
	10:58am efd: I've got your back on this Billy Squier, Joe.
	10:59am DCE: wha??
	10:59am Joe McG: God bless you, Evan!
	10:59am common: stroke!
	10:59am Roberto: I'm strokin'!
	11:00am Cheri Pi: I love B-Squi
	11:00am βrian: Music of the western canon.
	11:01am steve: man, this guy sure loved to swim
	11:01am Nate K: Please play Clarence carter next.
	11:02am Cheri Pi: He sure loves to write chinese calligraphy.
	11:02am steve: haha, nice CP
	11:02am PKNY: Billy Squier records had some of the best Bonham-inspired drum sounds on them.
	11:03am efd: PKNY speaks the truth.
	11:03am βrian: But you still don't have a record stacking mechanism! We need to hear that clack as the record falls!
	11:04am drr: Billy Squier must live somewhere near New Orleans cause he pops up at shows there from time to time.
	11:04am Roberto: Billy made a Christmas song palatable to me. For that alone he deserves our respect.
	11:05am Nate K: Take 'em All -- cock sparrer great anti- industry jam to add to the list.
	11:05am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: That Billy Squier video was the coup de grace for me. Loved him up until then. And yeah, as listening to him as a kid made me feel like I was in on some dirty joke.
	11:08am Nate K: Man, Thank you for noting the J. Geils similarities in that one. I was going crazy.
	11:08am efd: haha, I was just typing in "Mercury Poisoning!"
	11:12am Roberto: When it was on? That would be now and at all times within the last 25 years.
	11:12am bill: Elvis Costello, Radio?
	11:13am Cecile: Watch the Simpsons. It is one of the greatest pop cultural phenomena ever. I realized that (again) during the Labor Day marathon on FXX.
	11:14am Carmichael: Good morning Joe and all earth citizens.
	11:14am Joe McG: @Roberto: I'm just a stick in the mud.
	11:15am Cecile: remix contest for this!
	11:16am DCE: back off the mic a bit, lady!
	11:16am Cecile: or this and the Elk Talk cassette from Tony's show.
	11:17am Roberto: Yeah, so far there is no "was" as far as the Simpsons is concerned. Maybe someday.
	11:17am suea: i just looked up "twiggy sticks" False eyelashes.
	11:17am Carmichael: @Cece: Loved that elk talk. My diaphragm has never been the same.
	11:18am Cecile: I know! That was the best unintentionally funny stuff I had heard in forever.
	11:18am Cecile: Too bad Tony doesn't archive Tape Hiss shows. It was a doozy.
	11:20am Cecile: @Roberto I just took that show for granted. Watching the years I missed just showed me that the quality dropped from amazing to merely outstanding, and there were tons of gems I missed. I couldn't gripe about that.
	11:20am Brendan: It puts the lotion in the basket
	11:20am Cecile: Is this Edie Reader?
	11:21am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yup!
	11:21am Cecile: Eddi, I mean. I never heard this, this is pretty dang good.
	11:27am Brendan: I love the feel of this accordion music Joe. It takes me somewhere not here. Good call.
	11:28am Claw!: Oh, Man. I am really craving a croissant now. mmmmm.....
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: Garçon, a crocodile sandwich and make it snappy.
	11:29am βrian: I'll have a glass of pinard, myself. Poured to the rim, naturally.
	11:30am Peanut: Good after morning...
	11:31am Cecile: this sounds like Skinemax "morning after" music.
	11:32am Greg from Bloomfield: Or the love theme from an 80s MST3K movie...like Clonus or Space Mutiny.
	11:33am Cecile: yeah!
	11:33am Zamfir: Hey aqualung
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: ....and a Gloria for me, coffee with a dash of eau de vie.
	11:34am Cecile: when I hear "eau de vie" I always hear Dr. Smith from Lost in Space saying it like "oh, the pain!"
	11:35am βrian: @BUK: What, no hydrocodone?
	11:35am Peanut: So these exist. boingboing.net...
	11:35am oks: i feel like i'm hugging unicorn under the rainbow ...
	11:36am Carmichael: Hey, waz wit all de broads singin', anyways?
	11:37am Joe McG: @Peanut: When I grow my beard this winter, I'm there.
	11:37am Peanut: xpress yo-self
	11:38am βrian: "Don't be sceered, it's just a beard."
	11:40am Maurice Chevalier: Oh thank heaven for chicks with nice balloons
	11:40am Greg from Bloomfield: Hey there, blimpy boy
	11:42am Cecile: mpls limited? What is this? I know not of this label.
	11:42am βrian: It took two hits of purple unicorn to loft that baloon.
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: So Maurice what did you do in the war? Personally I believe anything you might say but the others......
	11:43am phat: how on earth do I forget how much I enjoy Bud Powell?
	11:44am Cecile: wow, this is a label that was actually around when I was writing. errrr.
	11:44am Maurice Chevrolet: I played in a band called the french faux velvet underground resistaunce
	11:46am blee: Man, this new Prince track is mighty SMOOTH. It sounds like he's mellowed out a bit.
	11:47am oks: prince,ballons,purple unicorns... ahhhhhh.. such a nice day
	11:48am phat: This Prince must be one of those songs I will wonder why I didn't like it at first.
	11:48am DCE: well everybody mellows out with age except Lemmy
	11:49am blee: Lemmy and John Lydon
	11:49am Cecile: Even Lemmy. But only a little.
	11:50am βrian: @DCE: And a certain Dick who's still in the news, sadly.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: @Cecile they just need a little lovin'.
	11:50am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: It's weird, I thought this was a Neil Diamond impersonator.
	11:50am blee: He should just be known as The Dick.
	11:51am oks: is it for daryl hannah?
	11:51am OTB: I've never experienced such ambivalence as I am experiencing right now....
	11:52am oks: oh sorry guys neil young was on my mind
	11:53am DCE: yo
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: The Silver Age of Rock 'n Roll. Great show, Joe.
	11:53am blee: Neil Young impersonating Neil Diamond, now that's entertainment.
	11:53am Cecile: oh, that's an interesting couple. Hannah has Asperger's and Neil might as well. sometimes
	11:55am Cecile: that would work as long as they respect each other's "do not cross" lines.
	👻 11:55am Brian in UK: I thought the reference was to Jackson Browne and DH.
	11:55am Peanut: this music is quite soothing....
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, folks, as ever. Have a great week ahead!
	11:56am Greg from Bloomfield: Sweet merciful crap do I love this song. Thanks much, Joe!
	11:56am phat: Neil Hamburger doing Neil Young doing Neil Diamond
	11:57am Brendan: Nice talkin to you folks, Joe.
	11:57am Cecile: ooh, Crosby referred to Young's divorce as "karma" and Hannah elliptically as a "poisonous predator". interesting.
	11:57am Sue: boo, it's over :( thanks for such a great set, Joe! glad i was home sick today :]
	11:58am Carmichael: ... doing Neil Innes.
	11:58am βrian: Ok, over to GTDS. See ya.
	11:58am Mike East: nice show, joe! (the half that I heard, anyway)
	11:58am Peanut: i love how you can favor your fave traxx
	11:59am oks: hahaha phat, i would like to see that.. i like to watch..Joe thanks so much! love your show!!

	9:07am Marcel M: OTB: Hah! I'm sure its making it an epic moment.
	9:08am Marcel M: Yeah I feel like I have to roll my spliff early today.
	9:08am the Canterbury wood-elf: Oh man! A noise-rock cover of everyone's favourite Alice Coltrane number. I love this station. Greetings Joe and all...
	9:09am Joe McG: Good morning, friends, and welcome to the program! To the universe and beyond.
	9:13am Brendan: This reminds me of Bluegrass
	9:14am Joe McG: @Brendan: The high lonesome wail?
	9:15am Marcel M: Just ordered this LP!
	9:15am the Canterbury wood-elf: Apparently this crew have been supporting Hawkwind of late. Sounds like a perfect night out to me (earplugs necessary I suspect).
	9:17am redkayak: That was nice.....
	9:18am Marcel M: Damn that does sound like an amazing bill!
	9:18am Claw!: Good morning, indeed! Nice groove here... Hey Joe! Hey Urrybody!
	9:22am Joe McG: @Marcel: Nice! The payola was worth it. @Claw!: There are TWO good versions of this on the 9-CD BOX SET we just got.
	9:26am PKNY: Good TZAG, Joe and ev-er-ry-body! Just added to my holiday to-do list: get more familiar with Earthling Society. Stellar choice of cover material!
	9:28am SwazeyLane: Good morning from windy NorCal
	👻 9:30am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Life is a box set.
	9:31am Claw!: :-0 Wowwwwiiiieeee! I'm hoping you'll be playing more hott jamz from this box set!
	9:31am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! With too many bad outtakes.
	👻 9:31am Brian in UK: Do you folks still refer to the lavatory as the 'can'.
	9:31am Marcel M: @Joe: Looking forward to hearing the rest of the record.
	9:33am Marcel M: I bought that can "I want more" picture disc 7" at the St. Marks Kims location when I was 18 or so. I had just discovered the first four or five records and was blown away/obbsessed. I was VERY confused by "I want more" when I got home and spun it.
	9:33am Claw!: "Plastiktanz," eh? Mama likey!
	👻 9:34am Liz Berg: Killin' it already today, McGasko!
	9:35am Joe McG: @Marcel: Did you ever see "Movern Callar"? That song turned my head around in that movie. @Liz: LIZ B! :)
	9:36am Brendan: Props for the Beefheart, Joe
	9:38am Brendan: I wonder if Capn beefheart is referred to as anticuchos in Peru
	9:43am Marcel M: @Joe: No I haven't! Will have to check it out.
	9:44am bill: The hits just keep on coming! great show Joe.
	9:45am Marcel M: Heavy
	9:46am Joe McG: Thanks, bill! I'll announce these songs one of these days.
	9:47am βrian: I can hear the sand in the guitars.
	9:47am Chris M.: this is real good
	👻 9:49am Brian in UK: 09:30
	9:50am Mark: This Peruvian "Hey Joe" is an absolute nuthouse! Anybody who doesn't love this is an idiot.
	9:50am Brendan: Yeah Joe, where ARE you going with that toilet plunger and mop in your hand?
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Joe's Celestial Sequencing.
	9:56am βrian: Terna dos Curumins; Looks to mean "Land of children."
	9:58am βrian: Scratch that. Misread the first word, but maybe the second is similar to "urchins?"
	9:59am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, Joe! Morning, gang!
	10:00am DeaconDave: Where am I?
	10:00am βrian: So is that to mean, "England, have my bones?" Or "England has my bones?"
	10:01am bill: Tried watching Roller Boogie last night, had to turn it off
	10:01am the Canterbury wood-elf: @βrian: Yeah, that missing comma was puzzling me too!
	10:02am Joe McG: @Brian: Only the band knows. They either don't believe in commas or they conjugate poorly.
	👻 10:02am Brian in UK: Olde Ingerlish like.
	10:02am Claw!: Yessssss. I love this kind of shit, because I'm a funk junkie AND a grooveaholic. You're my pusher man, Joe.
	10:03am Claw!: Dat trumpet, doe...
	10:03am the Canterbury wood-elf: Not enough mariachi-style trumpet solos in disco!
	10:04am Don'tTellMeIfYouFindATypoInMyNovel: But can you take it really really REALLY funky...?
	10:04am OTB: If ever there was music to update the copier codes spreadsheet to, this would be it.
	10:04am Joe McG: @Claw!: Ha ha! @Canterbury: I've got a disco 12" with a VIOLIN solo on it with me. Should I play it?
	10:05am Claw!: I vote "yes."
	👻 10:06am Brian in UK: I'm as funky as a washing line I'm as funky as a sheep dip I'm as funky as a spirit level I'm as funky as Richard Branson
	10:06am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Joe Please do! Violin lines in disco were always far too limited (those rapid descents). And yes, ES may conjugate poorly, but they rock very very well!
	👻 10:06am Brian in UK: Joe got any funk bagpipes. Pibloch.
	10:08am Joe McG: You got it, listen for the violin solo in the middle, highly unexpected!
	10:09am Claw!: Beautiful. Love that disco bass progression, too.
	10:09am Brian: That was indeed super funky...
	10:10am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Anyone remember a kids magazine in the 70's called Dynamite? This song should be it's anthem.
	10:11am Brendan: This all funked up
	10:11am Claw!: @Brian - you might wanna hear some Rufus Harley, but he's definitely not THIS funky.
	10:12am OTB: Jennique: Yes! Got it from the Scholastic order form from school. I think Scott Baio and Leif Garrett were in every issue....
	10:12am Claw!: There it is! Noice!
	10:12am Brendan: Jean Luc Ponty?
	10:12am the Canterbury wood-elf: That violin solo kind of worked!
	10:13am Mark: Oh, yes, this is indeed...dy-no-mite!
	10:13am the Canterbury wood-elf: ...and a trumpet solo to boot. Got any bassoon disco?
	10:14am βrian: Ach, love bassoon! Music on the DL.
	10:14am the Canterbury wood-elf: I was actually joking, but Google isn't - Joe, you MUST track this one down! davidawells.com...
	10:15am Mark: "Dynamite" should have been in "Rocky"--like when he's training with Apollo Creed.
	👻 10:15am Brian in UK: I'm a cor anglais man, personally. (indicates gruff accent)
	10:15am Joe McG: Oh, Canterbury, I NEED that record!!!!
	10:16am Claw!: We need some disco washboard up in dis bitch!
	10:16am Mark: "I Love Your Big Bassoon"--if you know what I'm sayin'.
	10:18am βrian: Schwanzstucker disco?
	👻 10:20am Ken From Hyde Park: Here's the joke I made up today: Kid: "Don't get smooth peanut butter. Get the other kind." Me: "What kind do you want me to get? Wrinkled?"
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: There is a great line on the site 'Other Blogging Bassoonists'
	10:20am Joe McG: I have a disco saw record.
	10:20am Greg from Bloomfield: I wonder what my company's policy is re: dancing on your desk...
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: Get some cream for it, Joe.
	10:21am βrian: I have a disco record saw.
	10:24am Joe McG: I think Dionne was looking for her "e" during this number. She doesn't appear to be in attendance.
	10:26am Claw!: Joe knows - I have Eleanor Rigby on saw. It's as awesome as you'd imagine. How about disco ER??? Ya got that?
	10:27am Mark: This is the album with the 18 minute version of "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." "Chocolate Chip" is one of the silliest things I've ever heard. This guitar player's trying to keep it real by going all Ernie Isley/Hendrix, but it ain't workin'.
	10:28am Joe McG: @Mark: No, actually, this is the one where he and Dionne combine "Phoenix" and "Walk On By" into an amazing medley. You're thinking of "Hot Buttered Soul."
	10:29am Mark: Oh, you're right!
	10:30am Brendan: This part of the song they break into the outro of Freebird
	10:31am Marcel M: Its that time!
	10:31am the Canterbury wood-elf: Disco Freebird anyone?
	10:34am Cheri Pi: Good morning Sonny boy and friends
	10:34am bill: Noise and funk done brung. nice work.
	10:35am Claw!: Yo, Cheri!
	10:35am Joe McG: Hey, MAAAAW!
	10:36am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: i think we need to bring back the catch phrase DY NO MITE. Really. It sounds so good saying it. Jimmie Walker was onto something.
	10:36am Brendan: I loved JJs and Thelma's interchanges.
	10:37am Joe McG: That's a DY-NO-MITE idea, Jennique!
	10:38am βrian: It especially worked for Jimmie because he had the choppers.
	10:41am Nate K: James and Bobby! Nice one.
	10:42am Mark: You realize every office in Manhattan is having a big dance party right now, right? No work is getting done, phones are ringing off the hook, the world economy is on pause...
	10:43am βrian: "If the good lord didn't want you to shake your tailfeather, she wouldn't have given you such a wide and expansive one."
	10:43am Joe McG: Hey, Nate! @Mark: That's such a pretty picture you painted, Mark!
	10:44am βrian: @Mark: You mean Wall Street regulation is a reality now?
	10:49am Marcel M: Work time :-(. Bye Joe, bye all!
	10:49am Mark: Joe, I'm pretty sure it's a variation on a scene from "The Blues Brothers." Brian, quite the contrary--with no regulations you're free to dance while your risky investments implode, secure in the knowledge that the American taxpayer will always have your back
	10:51am Joe McG: I used to have a Blues Brothers 45 but I lost it.
	10:52am the Canterbury wood-elf: Heavy on the lyrical tautology, this JG&JS.
	10:53am cement_dawg: Chicago much?
	10:53am Brendan: Red is red black is black and blue is blue ... Works for me
	10:55am Brendan: This has a feel good Chicago everybody havin lunch in the park sound
	10:56am OTB: If ever there was music to wonder what I'm going to have for lunch by, this would be it.
	10:56am Nate K: Ann Peebles did this right?
	10:57am Joe McG: @Brendan: It bothers me a bit that he avoided the obvious rhyme in that song."You know you make me happy/You make me smile when I'm feeling badly." Should be "crappy," don't you think?
	10:58am Joe McG: @Nate: Yeah! First LP? I can't remember!
	10:58am Greg from Bloomfield: YEAH JOE!!! <fist pump>
	10:58am paula pc: today's show: SMOKIN
	10:58am Claw!: LOL
	10:58am Cheri Pi: CLICK
	10:58am efd: I've got your back on this Billy Squier, Joe.
	10:59am DCE: wha??
	10:59am Joe McG: God bless you, Evan!
	10:59am common: stroke!
	10:59am Roberto: I'm strokin'!
	11:00am Cheri Pi: I love B-Squi
	11:00am βrian: Music of the western canon.
	11:01am steve: man, this guy sure loved to swim
	11:01am Nate K: Please play Clarence carter next.
	11:02am Cheri Pi: He sure loves to write chinese calligraphy.
	11:02am steve: haha, nice CP
	11:02am PKNY: Billy Squier records had some of the best Bonham-inspired drum sounds on them.
	11:03am efd: PKNY speaks the truth.
	11:03am βrian: But you still don't have a record stacking mechanism! We need to hear that clack as the record falls!
	11:04am drr: Billy Squier must live somewhere near New Orleans cause he pops up at shows there from time to time.
	11:04am Roberto: Billy made a Christmas song palatable to me. For that alone he deserves our respect.
	11:05am Nate K: Take 'em All -- cock sparrer great anti- industry jam to add to the list.
	11:05am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: That Billy Squier video was the coup de grace for me. Loved him up until then. And yeah, as listening to him as a kid made me feel like I was in on some dirty joke.
	11:08am Nate K: Man, Thank you for noting the J. Geils similarities in that one. I was going crazy.
	11:08am efd: haha, I was just typing in "Mercury Poisoning!"
	11:12am Roberto: When it was on? That would be now and at all times within the last 25 years.
	11:12am bill: Elvis Costello, Radio?
	11:13am Cecile: Watch the Simpsons. It is one of the greatest pop cultural phenomena ever. I realized that (again) during the Labor Day marathon on FXX.
	11:14am Carmichael: Good morning Joe and all earth citizens.
	11:14am Joe McG: @Roberto: I'm just a stick in the mud.
	11:15am Cecile: remix contest for this!
	11:16am DCE: back off the mic a bit, lady!
	11:16am Cecile: or this and the Elk Talk cassette from Tony's show.
	11:17am Roberto: Yeah, so far there is no "was" as far as the Simpsons is concerned. Maybe someday.
	11:17am suea: i just looked up "twiggy sticks" False eyelashes.
	11:17am Carmichael: @Cece: Loved that elk talk. My diaphragm has never been the same.
	11:18am Cecile: I know! That was the best unintentionally funny stuff I had heard in forever.
	11:18am Cecile: Too bad Tony doesn't archive Tape Hiss shows. It was a doozy.
	11:20am Cecile: @Roberto I just took that show for granted. Watching the years I missed just showed me that the quality dropped from amazing to merely outstanding, and there were tons of gems I missed. I couldn't gripe about that.
	11:20am Brendan: It puts the lotion in the basket
	11:20am Cecile: Is this Edie Reader?
	11:21am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yup!
	11:21am Cecile: Eddi, I mean. I never heard this, this is pretty dang good.
	11:27am Brendan: I love the feel of this accordion music Joe. It takes me somewhere not here. Good call.
	11:28am Claw!: Oh, Man. I am really craving a croissant now. mmmmm.....
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: Garçon, a crocodile sandwich and make it snappy.
	11:29am βrian: I'll have a glass of pinard, myself. Poured to the rim, naturally.
	11:30am Peanut: Good after morning...
	11:31am Cecile: this sounds like Skinemax "morning after" music.
	11:32am Greg from Bloomfield: Or the love theme from an 80s MST3K movie...like Clonus or Space Mutiny.
	11:33am Cecile: yeah!
	11:33am Zamfir: Hey aqualung
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: ....and a Gloria for me, coffee with a dash of eau de vie.
	11:34am Cecile: when I hear "eau de vie" I always hear Dr. Smith from Lost in Space saying it like "oh, the pain!"
	11:35am βrian: @BUK: What, no hydrocodone?
	11:35am Peanut: So these exist. boingboing.net...
	11:35am oks: i feel like i'm hugging unicorn under the rainbow ...
	11:36am Carmichael: Hey, waz wit all de broads singin', anyways?
	11:37am Joe McG: @Peanut: When I grow my beard this winter, I'm there.
	11:37am Peanut: xpress yo-self
	11:38am βrian: "Don't be sceered, it's just a beard."
	11:40am Maurice Chevalier: Oh thank heaven for chicks with nice balloons
	11:40am Greg from Bloomfield: Hey there, blimpy boy
	11:42am Cecile: mpls limited? What is this? I know not of this label.
	11:42am βrian: It took two hits of purple unicorn to loft that baloon.
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: So Maurice what did you do in the war? Personally I believe anything you might say but the others......
	11:43am phat: how on earth do I forget how much I enjoy Bud Powell?
	11:44am Cecile: wow, this is a label that was actually around when I was writing. errrr.
	11:44am Maurice Chevrolet: I played in a band called the french faux velvet underground resistaunce
	11:46am blee: Man, this new Prince track is mighty SMOOTH. It sounds like he's mellowed out a bit.
	11:47am oks: prince,ballons,purple unicorns... ahhhhhh.. such a nice day
	11:48am phat: This Prince must be one of those songs I will wonder why I didn't like it at first.
	11:48am DCE: well everybody mellows out with age except Lemmy
	11:49am blee: Lemmy and John Lydon
	11:49am Cecile: Even Lemmy. But only a little.
	11:50am βrian: @DCE: And a certain Dick who's still in the news, sadly.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: @Cecile they just need a little lovin'.
	11:50am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: It's weird, I thought this was a Neil Diamond impersonator.
	11:50am blee: He should just be known as The Dick.
	11:51am oks: is it for daryl hannah?
	11:51am OTB: I've never experienced such ambivalence as I am experiencing right now....
	11:52am oks: oh sorry guys neil young was on my mind
	11:53am DCE: yo
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: The Silver Age of Rock 'n Roll. Great show, Joe.
	11:53am blee: Neil Young impersonating Neil Diamond, now that's entertainment.
	11:53am Cecile: oh, that's an interesting couple. Hannah has Asperger's and Neil might as well. sometimes
	11:55am Cecile: that would work as long as they respect each other's "do not cross" lines.
	👻 11:55am Brian in UK: I thought the reference was to Jackson Browne and DH.
	11:55am Peanut: this music is quite soothing....
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, folks, as ever. Have a great week ahead!
	11:56am Greg from Bloomfield: Sweet merciful crap do I love this song. Thanks much, Joe!
	11:56am phat: Neil Hamburger doing Neil Young doing Neil Diamond
	11:57am Brendan: Nice talkin to you folks, Joe.
	11:57am Cecile: ooh, Crosby referred to Young's divorce as "karma" and Hannah elliptically as a "poisonous predator". interesting.
	11:57am Sue: boo, it's over :( thanks for such a great set, Joe! glad i was home sick today :]
	11:58am Carmichael: ... doing Neil Innes.
	11:58am βrian: Ok, over to GTDS. See ya.
	11:58am Mike East: nice show, joe! (the half that I heard, anyway)
