	9:05am Claw!: I'm with Polyus

	9:05am MD: RADIO!!!! HELLO RADIO!!!
	9:06am Joe McG: Ken, I seriously considered it. I'm sick. Hi, folks!
	9:07am OTB: @Ken: I request the Albert Brooks version with lyrics if so.
	9:08am Roberto: Julie! We miss you!
	9:08am Parq: Anybody else picturing Bo Dereck getting ready to fuck Dudley Moore?
	9:09am V Priceless: Hey Joe! Please use your powers to stop the madness that is this winter! Getting clobbered again here on LI
	9:10am Claw!: @Parq - every time I close my eyes.
	9:10am Joe McG: @VP: Hang in there. Winter can't last more than another couple of months.
	9:11am cory: holy crap this is awesome
	9:11am Claw!: Sorry you're feelin poopy, Joe. :( Thanks for being here to entertain/enlighten us.
	9:13am Joe McG: @Claw!: Oh, no, I feel fine physically! I'm just a sick-o.
	9:13am pierre: Moog morning Joe and folks !
	9:13am V Priceless: Only a few more months? If you say so, Joe - that's a relief - thanks!
	👻 9:13am Ken From Hyde Park: I think there's a Bolero with Jim Henson's Muppet chickens?
	9:14am bibi: hi all. hahaa, 1967 ! assdroids made an incredible 'rite of spring' version in early 00s, in the same spirit. fun.
	9:14am Claw!: Oh, gotcha. Well, carry on then, you magnificent sicko! We love you just the way you are. :)
	9:15am steve: hey folks. Moog related, i just finished this excellent book on Moog history. www.goodreads.com...
	9:16am Parq: Steve, cool, I've been wondering how that book is.
	9:16am Brendan: Wow this a long 45
	9:17am Brendan: I think this was Ravel's concept album
	9:17am Claw!: Les!
	9:18am Brendan: Hi Joe and all!
	9:20am bibi: @claw, just realising now what your avatar pictures. well, tough. just please say something like 'it's a non venimous snake and this guy is doing fine and all is perfect'.
	9:20am pierre: about cover of Ravel, i think Kebekelektrik's one is my favorite. It serves as Scott Williams's bed music.
	9:20am Whosondephone: That sounded like a command tape.
	9:20am Joe McG: @pierre: My favorite also!
	9:20am Whosondephone: Command*
	9:23am Claw!: bibi, I just had another commenter point out last week that it appears to be defanged, so I think everything is ok. hah. I was just thinkin about changing it, too!
	9:23am pierre: @Claw! : at first I thought that your name was "ClawL" many questions about you today
	9:24am DCE: morning all...whirlwind morning already!
	9:24am Claw!: pierre, you aren't the only one to think that. I'm ok with it. Anyone else?
	9:26am bibi: well, or maybe fangs are just somewhere inside the dude's flesh. 'easy does it' as just said sammy.
	👻 9:26am Ken From Hyde Park: It occurred to me that "Children of the Sea" from Black Sabbath has some chorus near the end that sounds like Bolero. Why hasn't that gone to court yet?
	9:27am cory: i just thought it was an inspector gadget reference
	9:27am lloyd michigan: Isn't Children of the Sea a brand of tuna?
	9:28am Brendan: Just a man and his bongos
	9:28am bibi: thats another trial option...
	9:29am V Priceless: Woo!
	9:29am Claw!: Dig it, Daddy-O.
	9:29am listener james from westwood: Got-damn. Sammy. What a talent.
	👻 9:29am Webhamster Henry: You've got a world that swings, Joe!
	9:30am OTB: I was just thinking that Sammy sounded a bit like Mel on that tune....
	9:30am Nardo: I was in the next room, but I knew I heard the Velvet Fog rolling in.
	9:33am Parq: By an interesting coincidence, I just read about a free, first-come-first-served Sinatra double bill at the Lincoln Center library tonight. Hitch up the sled.
	9:33am Joe McG: @Henry: I'm feelin' like Buddy Love this morning.
	9:35am common: Ha! Joe
	9:35am Velvet Frog: Joe, lovin' this set. Warming the cockles on a snowy morning.
	9:39am sphere: morning. the reggae is heavy.Mmmmm.
	9:40am Claw!: I like the turn this set has taken... Nothing like some hot island jams to warm my cold heart.
	9:40am Joe McG: I like the name Velvet Frog!
	9:42am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Morning, Joe, and McGaswegians. Late. Too bad for me. Glad to be here for the reggae spins, though.
	9:45am Claw!: hahahahahahahahaha So tough.
	9:45am Claw!: I have a facial scar, so you know I'm tough.
	9:46am Claw!: Play "So Tough" by the Slits! :-P
	9:47am Claw!: Fair enough.
	9:49am Claw!: It's an ok movie. If you must see it, wait til it's streaming.
	9:49am the Canterbury wood-elf: Read the book first, and if you like it, you'll probably love the film. If you're not into the book, don't bother. I loved both, but I'm a Pynchon freak.
	9:50am adrian in mpls: Morning everyone!
	9:50am will: Joe, Funny about PT Anderson. Wasn't he "Magnolia"? What a crock that one was.
	9:50am Marcel M: Hello Joe and friends. I JUST saw The Master. While watching it I did not like it. But the next day, thinking about it, I decided though I didn't love it, I didn't hate it, and enjoyed how wacked out it was.
	9:50am Josh M: Hey Joe - you should see Inherent Vice (but I liked The Master) - & I didn't like the book IV. so there
	9:50am GeesyCreesy: @Joe: I thought I was the only one who wasn't a fan of PT Anderson, though I enjoyed There Will Be Blood.
	9:51am Cooh John: Hello Joe. It's you and the snow.
	9:52am lloyd michigan: I thought Peter Tosh was the toughest.
	9:52am βrian: In BusinessBlather, the phrase "surface noise" would imply an imperative. I like Joe's intent better.
	9:52am Claw!: Adrian! Marcel!
	9:52am Joe McG: @lloyd: No, it's definitely me.
	9:52am common: marcel: I felt the same way
	9:53am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Yes, see Inherent Vice! I'm not a big Joaquin Phoenix fan and I think it was really good.
	9:53am lloyd michigan: Cool. Thanks for setting me straight, Joe.
	9:53am Claw!: @joe - Prove it!
	9:54am Claw!: I challenge your toughness!
	9:54am Joe McG: I have nothing to prove. I'm just simply the toughest.
	9:55am Claw!: I'm callin you out, Brother!
	9:56am V Priceless: meat loaf bake-off throw down!
	9:57am Claw!: A real tough guy woulda punched through a wall or a floor to get to that Slits record to play that song in honor of himself.
	9:57am Joe McG: Well, there you go: I play Meat Loaf. I'm clearly the toughest.
	9:58am common: I wanna see that one, karen
	9:58am Claw!: V! I was just gonna tell Joe about that time we got hammered and wailed on each other's faces about who likes Meat Loaf more! That's where I got my facial scar! So tough!!!!
	9:58am Chris: So Bolero turned my grandma into a fan of your show
	9:59am V Priceless: (excuse my non sequiturs as I drift in and out of work)
	9:59am Joe McG: @Chris: That makes me feel very happy! Your grandma must be frisky.
	10:00am βrian: @VP: I don't follow...
	10:00am Polyus: Have not heard Laika in a long while, this is cool.
	10:01am V Priceless: Claw - ha @ 'wailed' Brian - that makes two of us! : )
	10:01am Polyus: . . .although I would have preferred that original lineup of Moonshake had not split.
	10:01am Chris from DC: Was just thinking the same Polyus.
	👻 10:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Laika - first Space Dog, 1957.
	10:03am βrian: Espresso x 3 = V²
	10:04am pierre: is Laïka still up there ?
	10:05am SeanG: Viva Italia
	10:06am Claw!: This song is funny.
	10:06am courtneynoir: This Naif Orchestra is really getting the ol' workday going!
	10:06am bobdoesthings: goooooood mornnngg
	10:07am steve: how did italo ever go out of style
	10:08am mauri: Italians sure created everything.
	10:08am Joe McG: Great music to work in the supermarket by.
	10:08am trouble: good morning joe, glad your dog sled made it through today!
	10:09am Joe McG: Hey, Trouble! Yep, I put an extra couple of dogs on this morning just to make sure I made it.
	10:12am sphere: next advance in technology: a cat sled.
	10:13am Joe McG: BTW, everybody, thanks for the movie and book recommendations. There's so many other movies I'd sooner see than "Inherent Vice," but I will get around to watching it.
	10:15am Claw!: Whiplash was good, but maybe I'm biased because of the whole drummer thing.
	10:18am lloyd michigan: The singer from ABBA?
	10:18am Roberto: This reminds me of how great the Streisand version of this song is. Got to go back and listen again.
	10:19am John W: What better after Italian club music than Swedish '70s pop!
	10:19am Joe McG: @lloyd: Yep!
	10:20am GeesyCreesy: @Claw!: Whiplash is the most recent movie I've considered seeing more than once in a theater. Maybe I'll make another screening after all of this snow melts.
	👻 10:20am Webhamster Henry: Reminds me of how good the Seo Jorge version is.
	10:20am lloyd michigan: Never heard this before.
	10:20am tinkle bear: just want to say that i support the bowie thing you have going here. very cool. and i want to see that joe mcgasko vs nat roe rumble-in-the-jumble.
	10:20am Sem Chumbo: Kinda miss her playmates on this.
	10:21am davex: Wonder if this is played on the Swedish version of the BBC show.
	10:21am pierre: if you'd allow me to just throw it out there, I tought that Whiplash was very efficient, very well edited, but it left me with a weird impression that I saw a very classial movie story wise, like scenaristically speaking it reminded me of Cocktail with Tom Cruise. It is a american 80's story to me.
	10:22am Joe McG: @tinkle bear: Ha ha ha! I can take Nat Roe, no problem.
	10:23am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @pierre: it was composed, alright, classic dramatic structure, I think.
	10:25am pierre: yeah, but I the meantime I felt no empathy whatsoever with any character.
	10:27am tinkle bear: @Joe McG it'd be totally pay-per-view worthy.
	10:29am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Loved Only Lovers Left Alive! And a great sound track to boot!
	10:29am βrian: Vampires, as a subject, is pretty tired. But I did like "Let the right one in."
	10:29am Sem Chumbo: @pierre: likewise. Could not get by the obvious function of the characters within the structure.
	10:30am Cecile: Speaking of vampires, What We Do In The Shadows is fricking hilarious.
	10:30am βrian: But since it's Jim Jarmusch, I guess I'll have to give it a go.
	10:30am Cecile: Whiplash looked stupid, and a number of people have commented on the homophobia in it, so I didn't need to see it. Thanks for the Billy McKenzie. I love him.
	10:31am adrian in mpls: I'll second the Only Lovers Left Alive vote
	👻 10:31am Webhamster Henry: OLLA also has great audio equipment porn.
	10:31am Claw!: Yeah, cecile. That trailer looks hilarious! Eagle vs. Shark was really funny, so I'm sold.
	10:31am Cecile: I'm biased about What We Do, because it's from Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi from NZ, but my friends had no such bias, and found it hilarious as well.
	10:32am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Planning on going to see Maps to the Stars tonight. Will give my critique next week.
	10:32am Cecile: Claw! have you seen Boy? It's a great movie, also directed by Taika Waititi
	10:32am Polyus: So do White Hills get to play vampires as well?
	10:33am Joe McG: Any Italian fans who can translate the title of this song would do me a great service.
	10:35am luca: @joe: there's no reason (which is the translation ;))
	10:35am Claw!: No, I haven't - I'll look into it, though. :)
	10:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Luca!
	10:36am Cecile: It's on chunks on YouTube, and probably Netflix too.
	10:37am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: What's wrong with your eyes?
	10:37am pierre: I want to see WhatWeDO in the Shadows so bad. As for Only Lovers Left Alive, it's the best movie about relationship that I've ever seen
	10:40am dale: how long was the jim stafford show on? cbs tried really hard to fill the sonny and cher spot and nothing stuck - just cher (sonny jumped to abc), shields and yarnell, the captain and tenille, jim,
	10:40am Cecile: such a great singer Rose Royce had.
	10:41am Cecile: I think it was 13 weeks.
	10:42am Cecile: six weeks
	10:43am tinkle bear: fwiw, regarding wildwood weed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimson_weed#Etymology
	10:47am βrian: But don't think of Bikini at all!
	10:47am pierre: Love this !
	10:47am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: I can say that if Jimson weed was what Jim Stafford was writing about, he understated, wildly, its effects l
	10:48am courtneynoir: Man. I don't mean to bum you NorthEasterners out or anything but it's supposed to be in the 60s here in Nebraska for the foreseeable future starting tomorrow.
	10:49am pierre: oh wow, how can anyone lay his hands and then its ears on that Pua'a Choux jewel?
	10:49am MD: Hey Joe...I am Diggin your set this Snowy Morn...THANK YOU!!!
	10:51am Joe McG: Happy to hear it, MD!
	10:52am Claw!: Whoa! Nice cover of this!
	10:53am mauri: Often I want to go make a cup of tea but I have to stay cause the good music keeps me put.
	10:53am Greg from Bloomfield: Sorry I'm late, gang! Snow snow snow work work work...
	10:53am tinkle bear: @sweet essence of giraffe sounds intriguing. will investigate. carefully.
	10:54am Joe McG: @Mauri: How sweet! I want a cup of tea very badly right now...
	10:54am sugarwolf: I loved Mia W in Only Lovers Left Alive a lot. I want a pair of gloves like hers. and white boots!
	10:55am Mark: I love Al Kooper, but some of his solo stuff is a nightmare.
	10:55am Cecile: oooooh no.
	10:55am still b/p: Al's version seemed to fall now and then into an Atlanta Rhythm Sectionizer and then into other pop familiar flavorizers.
	10:56am Claw!: hahahahaha
	10:56am Joe McG: @sugarwolf: I loved her in it, too, but probably in a different way. Rawr!
	10:56am Dean: Genestyx
	10:56am sugarwolf: I am locked out of work until the coworker with the right keys comes in. Btw this and the last third of my commute in this day is a disaster!!
	10:56am Mike Noble: teenage mike noble would be immediately so happy to hear the opening of the Duke suite!
	10:57am Polyus: I have heard more 80s Genesis on WFMU in the last couple of weeks than I have in the previous 20 years. Which is to say, twice.
	10:57am βrian: Haven't hear Generic in a while!
	10:57am Joe McG: @Polyus: I know who it was, too!
	10:58am Greg from Bloomfield: Ditto, Polyus!
	10:58am Mark: This set is absolutely synthsational™!
	10:58am DeaconDave: I would be enjoying this show more if work didn't get in the way!
	10:58am Mark: I was also listening that day, Polyus--Scott W's show!
	10:58am βrian: For anyone interested. Charlie is cueing up now: Busy Doing Nothing with Charlie wfmu.org...
	10:59am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @tinkle bell: effects covered extensively by Carlos Castaneda in his books.
	10:59am pierre: I feel like Genesis is coming back on strong
	10:59am Dean: The only post-Gabriel Genesis I have is 1) pre-1980, and 2) bootleg.
	10:59am Joe McG: @DeaconDave: So many companies are so uncivilized! @Brian: Hey, tell Charlie to hold his horses! :)
	10:59am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: A few DJs have played Genesis lately. What are you guys up to at the station?
	10:59am Cecile: @#$%^abacab
	11:00am βrian: Oh, crap. I'm jumping the gun! I thought it was 11 CST. Sorry.
	11:00am Cecile: And this song was better in its first incarnation the J5's "The Love You Save".
	11:01am Mike Noble: @Dean - there's a great boot of Genesis live at the Lyceum from 1980, touring "Duke." The Duke suite really needs to be heard as a contiguous performance.
	11:01am herb.nyc: in alan licht's "emotional memoirs..." book, he wrote (something like) "when i think of GENESIS all i see is phil collins on a big stage running left and right". HI JOE.
	11:01am Kevlicki: I can't stand Phil Collins, but somehow wasn't annoyed by that genesis song.
	11:02am adrian in mpls: ABACAB!!
	11:02am Mike Noble: I'm not ashamed to admit my first concert was Phil Collins at the Spectrum in Philly, June 22, 1994.
	11:02am Cecile: I am and I was.
	11:02am sugarwolf: @joe ha ha well it's not like I wasnt ogling Tom H in it
	11:02am adrian in mpls: oh wait, Cecile already called that out....
	11:03am Cecile: no, it's the wildwood weed in your coffee.
	11:03am Mike Noble: @Kevlicki: maybe this could restore your Phil Collins hatred www.youtube.com...
	11:03am nickybones: Hope not! Genesis is massive.
	11:03am efd: and here I thought I was the only one bothered -- well, mildly annoyed -- by the difference in the legal ID signs between Studio A and Studio B.
	11:04am Dean: Maybe the DJs own shares of this: http://themusicalbox.net/ @Mike Noble: IIRC, I have one or two from '76 or '77. Also, come to think of it, I have a Japanese issue of the double live thing, i.e., legitimate. By "Duke," I'm afraid, I'd lost interest. Not sure I've ever heard it.
	11:04am Mike Noble: Al Kooper wrote this diamond ring, right?
	11:04am the Canterbury wood-elf: I really can't handle any Genesis after "Wind and Wuthering". The classic Gabriel albums were a huge thing for me a teenager. Never put them on anymore, but they've got something worthy about them. The Collins era was just depressing in comparison.
	11:05am Cecile: Can you play "Love Don't Live Here Any More" sometime, Joe? It is such a sweet but desolate ballad.
	11:05am Dean: OTOH, Collins' work with Brand X was terrific. And I have a soft spot for Cafe Jacques, with whom he worked.
	11:06am Mike Noble: @Dean - I once drove from PA to Montreal to see the Musical Box perform their "last ever show" in 1999. And then apparently they changed their mind?
	11:07am Cecile: I can stand some Brand X, but I have never liked one note of Genesis, and lord I have heard enough of it from my friends to make an informed decision.
	11:08am Cecile: I do have a 45 of Easy Lover because I love EWF and the song was cute.
	11:08am Carmichael: Heya Joe and peoples of the airwaves. Eclectic songlist dere.
	11:08am herb.nyc: i love the wfmu dj's! but i'm not gonna marry them! (i have a library copy of INSIDE PEE-WEE'S PLAYHOUSE now)
	👻 11:10am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. I will be over right away.
	11:10am sweet essence of giraffe: reading recommendations noted. thanks!
	11:10am ?: Should make clear that you still need plenty of volunteers AFTER the Marathon for pledge fulfillment. Unless you guys farm that out now.
	11:11am Dean: @Mike Noble: They've had a few "last shows ever," haven't they? I've never seen them, but a buddy of mine who is tight with some of the inner circle of over-the-top Genesis fans has caught them. @Cecile: Three words: "The Waiting Room." It's the Eno-ized outlier on LLDOB. There are bootleg versions that surpass the studio mess and herald jam bands way before Leftover Salmon. It's the one Genesis tune that sounds nothing like Genesis. Needless to say, it's an instrumental.
	11:11am Mike Noble: Ryley Walker is also an incredibly nice guy.
	11:13am Joe McG: @Mike: Can't wait to hear the new record en toto. Sounds Bert Janschy to me!
	11:13am Cecile: Dean, I think I heard it way back. I'll have to refresh my memory when I have a chance.
	11:14am tinkle bear: @sweet essence... giraffe ...someone take away my internet license! somehow i managed to pretend to be you. so incompetent. thanks for the reading suggestions. bye.
	11:15am rw: Bert Janschy is my new favorite adjective.
	11:16am V Priceless: great Strawbs / Sandy track Joe!
	11:16am DCE: let's all get Jaschy!
	11:17am Carmichael: Oh yeah, I know this voice. Better Sandy than the lamb like bleating of Dave Cousins.
	11:17am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @tinkle bear: a wildwood weed contact high effect, no doubt. See ya around.
	11:18am Joe McG: Oh, now, Carmichael, I like that sheepy boy.
	11:18am herb.nyc: since there's MARATHON tawk now, for the record, my acctng firm DEWEY CHEATHAM & HOWE & WHYNOT, will mail my pre-marathon pledge this afternoon. plus, they added 1% extra because they are members of the 1%. now isn't that a happy ending?
	11:18am still b/p: I don't have the big hate for Phil Collins, but have never been able to do anything but blink twice slowly when thinking about his 80s - 90s work/image and then about his young stint with Eno on Another Green World. At first glance I thought the image on Google homepage today had something to do with invention of Cheez-Whiz, but it honors the birthday of the instant noodle revoloutionary!
	11:18am Joe McG: @herb: Delightful, Herb!
	11:19am herb.nyc: i know you are, joe, but what am i?
	11:20am MattBelow: Strawbs and Sandy combo...perfect for a snowy day
	11:20am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Much obliged to you for the Strawbs and Sandy Denny, Joe. Wonderful.
	11:21am V Priceless: what Joe McG said - DC is a criminally underrated song writer & performer.
	11:22am Joe McG: @herb: Ha! @Sweet Essence: I haven't remarked on your excellent choice in name, sir.
	11:22am Carmichael: That was a bit harsh, eh? Sorry, I love the Strawbs with Denny. I find them difficult to listen when DC sings, though.
	11:23am Whosondephone: This is some very nice music you wrote Joe McGasko.
	👻 11:24am Brian in UK: Not a Phil Collins fan but as he is a David Ackles fan so I cannot dislike him. @Joe God bless Viv Stanshall for the essence.
	11:24am Cecile: When I was depressed in the 80s, I'd play the live version of this or Calgary Cross over and over again.
	11:24am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @Joe: marking 20 years since Bonzo Viv shuffled off this mortal coil.
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: Hello Sem
	11:25am Cecile: Sem, did you see that Bonzos doc link I posted?
	11:25am Joe McG: @Cecile: A fine cure-all!
	11:26am Cecile: It worked for me!
	11:26am Joe McG: @Whosondephone: Thanks! It's nice that all these talented people record my compositions.
	11:26am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @Cecile: yes. Thoroughly enjoyed the doc. Thanks again. @BrianiUK: good day to you, you motor-cycling devil, you.
	11:26am V Priceless: yeah @ Sweet Essence! Was thinking that too! @ Carm - I know where you're coming from though, as it seems a shared experience for many when it comes to DC's singing. I'm that way with some bands, too - kinda unavoidable, I guess!
	11:26am Brendan: Joe, thanks for sharing this great music today and everyday. You are a national treasure.
	11:27am βrian: @Cecile: Wow, for the entire 1980s?
	11:27am Carmichael: Gosh Joe, keep the Fairport-related stuff rolling in! Fotheringay, Brass Monkey, Matthews Southern Comfort, etc ...
	11:27am Joe McG: @Brendan: Tell my tax man!
	👻 11:27am Brian in UK: @Sem are the snows melting?
	11:28am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Cecil Yeah, that live "Calvary Cross" is something else. Assuming "Calgary Cross" was the Canadian release?
	11:28am Cecile: well, in the years I worked at a record store with Richard Thompson permanently in the rotation.
	11:28am Cecile: hahahhaha, yeah, woodelf, got it wrong. sorry
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: Feels like the first day of Spring over here. What say you Elf man?
	11:29am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @Brian: yes, the bodies of the Dead beginning to poke through the drifts, while the Quick avert their eyes, and carry on.
	11:30am Cecile: it's below zero in MN.
	11:30am listener monica: i've never heard this song played on the radio tho it is one of my all-time favorites.
	11:30am βrian: We have blue skies over the isthmus today, though it was -15°C when I came into work.
	11:31am Chris from DC: Well on our way to 8"+ of snow here, but this is making it better.
	11:31am Joe McG: Happy to oblige, listener monica!
	11:32am northguineahills: This set is perfect for my mood, and the weather....
	11:32am V Priceless: raising my coffee cup in Viv's memory, Sem! Thanks for remembering!
	11:33am Carmichael: I played this album and Shoot Out the Lights about a million times. Don't Renege on Our Love is still one of my all-time favorites.
	11:33am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: 0C/32 F at present on the Atlantic shores of New Scotland.
	11:33am still b/p: Someone gave me a Beanie Baby giraffe just a week and a half ago. The neck of coincidence is long and it reaches toward the acacia leaves of mystery.
	👻 11:33am doctorjazz: Haven't had a chance to post thin morning, don't hear this happy couple often, great to hear them.
	11:33am Cecile: this was the version, too. I think it was on something called "Live and More"
	11:34am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Brian Yes, very springlike in East Kent, although not the first such day this week...
	11:34am Joe McG: @doctorjazz: Happy couple, ha ha ha!
	11:36am Polyus: Love this Aine O'Dwyer.

	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: @Sem I think I might play 'Teddy Boys Dont Knit' later. Bass Macaw & Broken Bottles is a very painful track then lightened by Terry Keeps His Clips on.
	11:39am Joe McG: @Brian: Hearing British place names makes me feel so happy. Please write some more! @Laura: Snowy day music! I'm glad it's suiting the mood...

	11:44am Brendan: Wellinghamshireton
	11:45am Sem Chumbo: Watchet? Brian, didn't you mean write "Dorking?"
	👻 11:45am Brian in UK: Woolfardisworth pronounced Woolsery
	11:46am Cecile: see, it kind of loses out without the "accent".
	11:47am V Priceless: wow this is sufficiently Procol Harumy
	11:47am Cecile: Christ, you should just go ahead and play some Procol Harum while you're at it.
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: Sem will check the link. If I ever had a show I would call it 'I Don't Know What I Want But I Want it Now' seems to some up Freeform.
	11:47am Cecile: hahahahhaha VP
	11:48am Carmichael: It is most certainly not Janschy.
	11:48am Mike East: had no idea that West Side Story Medley was Sammy Davis Jr...what a voice!
	11:48am Cecile: When I was doing sci-fi Apas, a couple of my zines went under the title "My Pink Half of the Grapevine"

	11:51am βrian: Vauvenargues." (Starting to feel continental.)
	👻 11:51am Brian in UK: There's only one BJ Cole too.

	9:07am OTB: @Ken: I request the Albert Brooks version with lyrics if so.
	9:08am Roberto: Julie! We miss you!
	9:08am Parq: Anybody else picturing Bo Dereck getting ready to fuck Dudley Moore?
	9:09am V Priceless: Hey Joe! Please use your powers to stop the madness that is this winter! Getting clobbered again here on LI
	9:10am Claw!: @Parq - every time I close my eyes.

	9:11am cory: holy crap this is awesome
	9:11am Claw!: Sorry you're feelin poopy, Joe. :( Thanks for being here to entertain/enlighten us.
	9:13am Joe McG: @Claw!: Oh, no, I feel fine physically! I'm just a sick-o.
	9:13am pierre: Moog morning Joe and folks !
	9:13am V Priceless: Only a few more months? If you say so, Joe - that's a relief - thanks!
	👻 9:13am Ken From Hyde Park: I think there's a Bolero with Jim Henson's Muppet chickens?
	9:14am bibi: hi all. hahaa, 1967 ! assdroids made an incredible 'rite of spring' version in early 00s, in the same spirit. fun.
	9:14am Claw!: Oh, gotcha. Well, carry on then, you magnificent sicko! We love you just the way you are. :)
	9:15am steve: hey folks. Moog related, i just finished this excellent book on Moog history. www.goodreads.com...
	9:16am Parq: Steve, cool, I've been wondering how that book is.
	9:16am Brendan: Wow this a long 45
	9:17am Brendan: I think this was Ravel's concept album
	9:17am Claw!: Les!
	9:18am Brendan: Hi Joe and all!
	9:20am bibi: @claw, just realising now what your avatar pictures. well, tough. just please say something like 'it's a non venimous snake and this guy is doing fine and all is perfect'.
	9:20am pierre: about cover of Ravel, i think Kebekelektrik's one is my favorite. It serves as Scott Williams's bed music.
	9:20am Whosondephone: That sounded like a command tape.
	9:20am Joe McG: @pierre: My favorite also!
	9:20am Whosondephone: Command*
	9:23am Claw!: bibi, I just had another commenter point out last week that it appears to be defanged, so I think everything is ok. hah. I was just thinkin about changing it, too!
	9:23am pierre: @Claw! : at first I thought that your name was "ClawL" many questions about you today
	9:24am DCE: morning all...whirlwind morning already!
	9:24am Claw!: pierre, you aren't the only one to think that. I'm ok with it. Anyone else?
	9:26am bibi: well, or maybe fangs are just somewhere inside the dude's flesh. 'easy does it' as just said sammy.
	👻 9:26am Ken From Hyde Park: It occurred to me that "Children of the Sea" from Black Sabbath has some chorus near the end that sounds like Bolero. Why hasn't that gone to court yet?
	9:27am cory: i just thought it was an inspector gadget reference
	9:27am lloyd michigan: Isn't Children of the Sea a brand of tuna?
	9:28am Brendan: Just a man and his bongos
	9:28am bibi: thats another trial option...
	9:29am V Priceless: Woo!
	9:29am Claw!: Dig it, Daddy-O.
	9:29am listener james from westwood: Got-damn. Sammy. What a talent.
	👻 9:29am Webhamster Henry: You've got a world that swings, Joe!
	9:30am OTB: I was just thinking that Sammy sounded a bit like Mel on that tune....
	9:30am Nardo: I was in the next room, but I knew I heard the Velvet Fog rolling in.
	9:33am Parq: By an interesting coincidence, I just read about a free, first-come-first-served Sinatra double bill at the Lincoln Center library tonight. Hitch up the sled.
	9:33am Joe McG: @Henry: I'm feelin' like Buddy Love this morning.
	9:35am common: Ha! Joe
	9:35am Velvet Frog: Joe, lovin' this set. Warming the cockles on a snowy morning.
	9:39am sphere: morning. the reggae is heavy.Mmmmm.
	9:40am Claw!: I like the turn this set has taken... Nothing like some hot island jams to warm my cold heart.
	9:40am Joe McG: I like the name Velvet Frog!
	9:42am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Morning, Joe, and McGaswegians. Late. Too bad for me. Glad to be here for the reggae spins, though.
	9:45am Claw!: hahahahahahahahaha So tough.
	9:45am Claw!: I have a facial scar, so you know I'm tough.
	9:46am Claw!: Play "So Tough" by the Slits! :-P
	9:47am Claw!: Fair enough.
	9:49am Claw!: It's an ok movie. If you must see it, wait til it's streaming.
	9:49am the Canterbury wood-elf: Read the book first, and if you like it, you'll probably love the film. If you're not into the book, don't bother. I loved both, but I'm a Pynchon freak.
	9:50am adrian in mpls: Morning everyone!
	9:50am will: Joe, Funny about PT Anderson. Wasn't he "Magnolia"? What a crock that one was.
	9:50am Marcel M: Hello Joe and friends. I JUST saw The Master. While watching it I did not like it. But the next day, thinking about it, I decided though I didn't love it, I didn't hate it, and enjoyed how wacked out it was.
	9:50am Josh M: Hey Joe - you should see Inherent Vice (but I liked The Master) - & I didn't like the book IV. so there
	9:50am GeesyCreesy: @Joe: I thought I was the only one who wasn't a fan of PT Anderson, though I enjoyed There Will Be Blood.
	9:51am Cooh John: Hello Joe. It's you and the snow.
	9:52am lloyd michigan: I thought Peter Tosh was the toughest.
	9:52am βrian: In BusinessBlather, the phrase "surface noise" would imply an imperative. I like Joe's intent better.
	9:52am Claw!: Adrian! Marcel!
	9:52am Joe McG: @lloyd: No, it's definitely me.
	9:52am common: marcel: I felt the same way
	9:53am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Yes, see Inherent Vice! I'm not a big Joaquin Phoenix fan and I think it was really good.
	9:53am lloyd michigan: Cool. Thanks for setting me straight, Joe.
	9:53am Claw!: @joe - Prove it!
	9:54am Claw!: I challenge your toughness!
	9:54am Joe McG: I have nothing to prove. I'm just simply the toughest.
	9:55am Claw!: I'm callin you out, Brother!
	9:56am V Priceless: meat loaf bake-off throw down!
	9:57am Claw!: A real tough guy woulda punched through a wall or a floor to get to that Slits record to play that song in honor of himself.
	9:57am Joe McG: Well, there you go: I play Meat Loaf. I'm clearly the toughest.
	9:58am common: I wanna see that one, karen
	9:58am Claw!: V! I was just gonna tell Joe about that time we got hammered and wailed on each other's faces about who likes Meat Loaf more! That's where I got my facial scar! So tough!!!!
	9:58am Chris: So Bolero turned my grandma into a fan of your show
	9:59am V Priceless: (excuse my non sequiturs as I drift in and out of work)
	9:59am Joe McG: @Chris: That makes me feel very happy! Your grandma must be frisky.
	10:00am βrian: @VP: I don't follow...
	10:00am Polyus: Have not heard Laika in a long while, this is cool.
	10:01am V Priceless: Claw - ha @ 'wailed' Brian - that makes two of us! : )
	10:01am Polyus: . . .although I would have preferred that original lineup of Moonshake had not split.
	10:01am Chris from DC: Was just thinking the same Polyus.
	👻 10:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Laika - first Space Dog, 1957.
	10:03am βrian: Espresso x 3 = V²
	10:04am pierre: is Laïka still up there ?
	10:05am SeanG: Viva Italia
	10:06am Claw!: This song is funny.
	10:06am courtneynoir: This Naif Orchestra is really getting the ol' workday going!
	10:06am bobdoesthings: goooooood mornnngg
	10:07am steve: how did italo ever go out of style
	10:08am mauri: Italians sure created everything.
	10:08am Joe McG: Great music to work in the supermarket by.
	10:08am trouble: good morning joe, glad your dog sled made it through today!
	10:09am Joe McG: Hey, Trouble! Yep, I put an extra couple of dogs on this morning just to make sure I made it.
	10:12am sphere: next advance in technology: a cat sled.
	10:13am Joe McG: BTW, everybody, thanks for the movie and book recommendations. There's so many other movies I'd sooner see than "Inherent Vice," but I will get around to watching it.
	10:15am Claw!: Whiplash was good, but maybe I'm biased because of the whole drummer thing.
	10:18am lloyd michigan: The singer from ABBA?
	10:18am Roberto: This reminds me of how great the Streisand version of this song is. Got to go back and listen again.
	10:19am John W: What better after Italian club music than Swedish '70s pop!
	10:19am Joe McG: @lloyd: Yep!
	10:20am GeesyCreesy: @Claw!: Whiplash is the most recent movie I've considered seeing more than once in a theater. Maybe I'll make another screening after all of this snow melts.
	👻 10:20am Webhamster Henry: Reminds me of how good the Seo Jorge version is.
	10:20am lloyd michigan: Never heard this before.
	10:20am tinkle bear: just want to say that i support the bowie thing you have going here. very cool. and i want to see that joe mcgasko vs nat roe rumble-in-the-jumble.
	10:20am Sem Chumbo: Kinda miss her playmates on this.
	10:21am davex: Wonder if this is played on the Swedish version of the BBC show.
	10:21am pierre: if you'd allow me to just throw it out there, I tought that Whiplash was very efficient, very well edited, but it left me with a weird impression that I saw a very classial movie story wise, like scenaristically speaking it reminded me of Cocktail with Tom Cruise. It is a american 80's story to me.
	10:22am Joe McG: @tinkle bear: Ha ha ha! I can take Nat Roe, no problem.
	10:23am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @pierre: it was composed, alright, classic dramatic structure, I think.
	10:25am pierre: yeah, but I the meantime I felt no empathy whatsoever with any character.
	10:27am tinkle bear: @Joe McG it'd be totally pay-per-view worthy.
	10:29am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Loved Only Lovers Left Alive! And a great sound track to boot!
	10:29am βrian: Vampires, as a subject, is pretty tired. But I did like "Let the right one in."
	10:29am Sem Chumbo: @pierre: likewise. Could not get by the obvious function of the characters within the structure.
	10:30am Cecile: Speaking of vampires, What We Do In The Shadows is fricking hilarious.
	10:30am βrian: But since it's Jim Jarmusch, I guess I'll have to give it a go.
	10:30am Cecile: Whiplash looked stupid, and a number of people have commented on the homophobia in it, so I didn't need to see it. Thanks for the Billy McKenzie. I love him.
	10:31am adrian in mpls: I'll second the Only Lovers Left Alive vote
	👻 10:31am Webhamster Henry: OLLA also has great audio equipment porn.
	10:31am Claw!: Yeah, cecile. That trailer looks hilarious! Eagle vs. Shark was really funny, so I'm sold.
	10:31am Cecile: I'm biased about What We Do, because it's from Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi from NZ, but my friends had no such bias, and found it hilarious as well.
	10:32am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Planning on going to see Maps to the Stars tonight. Will give my critique next week.
	10:32am Cecile: Claw! have you seen Boy? It's a great movie, also directed by Taika Waititi
	10:32am Polyus: So do White Hills get to play vampires as well?
	10:33am Joe McG: Any Italian fans who can translate the title of this song would do me a great service.
	10:35am luca: @joe: there's no reason (which is the translation ;))
	10:35am Claw!: No, I haven't - I'll look into it, though. :)
	10:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Luca!
	10:36am Cecile: It's on chunks on YouTube, and probably Netflix too.
	10:37am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: What's wrong with your eyes?
	10:37am pierre: I want to see WhatWeDO in the Shadows so bad. As for Only Lovers Left Alive, it's the best movie about relationship that I've ever seen
	10:40am dale: how long was the jim stafford show on? cbs tried really hard to fill the sonny and cher spot and nothing stuck - just cher (sonny jumped to abc), shields and yarnell, the captain and tenille, jim,
	10:40am Cecile: such a great singer Rose Royce had.
	10:41am Cecile: I think it was 13 weeks.
	10:42am Cecile: six weeks
	10:43am tinkle bear: fwiw, regarding wildwood weed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimson_weed#Etymology
	10:47am βrian: But don't think of Bikini at all!
	10:47am pierre: Love this !
	10:47am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: I can say that if Jimson weed was what Jim Stafford was writing about, he understated, wildly, its effects l
	10:48am courtneynoir: Man. I don't mean to bum you NorthEasterners out or anything but it's supposed to be in the 60s here in Nebraska for the foreseeable future starting tomorrow.
	10:49am pierre: oh wow, how can anyone lay his hands and then its ears on that Pua'a Choux jewel?
	10:49am MD: Hey Joe...I am Diggin your set this Snowy Morn...THANK YOU!!!
	10:51am Joe McG: Happy to hear it, MD!
	10:52am Claw!: Whoa! Nice cover of this!
	10:53am mauri: Often I want to go make a cup of tea but I have to stay cause the good music keeps me put.
	10:53am Greg from Bloomfield: Sorry I'm late, gang! Snow snow snow work work work...
	10:53am tinkle bear: @sweet essence of giraffe sounds intriguing. will investigate. carefully.
	10:54am Joe McG: @Mauri: How sweet! I want a cup of tea very badly right now...
	10:54am sugarwolf: I loved Mia W in Only Lovers Left Alive a lot. I want a pair of gloves like hers. and white boots!
	10:55am Mark: I love Al Kooper, but some of his solo stuff is a nightmare.
	10:55am Cecile: oooooh no.
	10:55am still b/p: Al's version seemed to fall now and then into an Atlanta Rhythm Sectionizer and then into other pop familiar flavorizers.
	10:56am Claw!: hahahahaha
	10:56am Joe McG: @sugarwolf: I loved her in it, too, but probably in a different way. Rawr!
	10:56am Dean: Genestyx
	10:56am sugarwolf: I am locked out of work until the coworker with the right keys comes in. Btw this and the last third of my commute in this day is a disaster!!
	10:56am Mike Noble: teenage mike noble would be immediately so happy to hear the opening of the Duke suite!
	10:57am Polyus: I have heard more 80s Genesis on WFMU in the last couple of weeks than I have in the previous 20 years. Which is to say, twice.
	10:57am βrian: Haven't hear Generic in a while!
	10:57am Joe McG: @Polyus: I know who it was, too!
	10:58am Greg from Bloomfield: Ditto, Polyus!
	10:58am Mark: This set is absolutely synthsational™!
	10:58am DeaconDave: I would be enjoying this show more if work didn't get in the way!
	10:58am Mark: I was also listening that day, Polyus--Scott W's show!
	10:58am βrian: For anyone interested. Charlie is cueing up now: Busy Doing Nothing with Charlie wfmu.org...
	10:59am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @tinkle bell: effects covered extensively by Carlos Castaneda in his books.
	10:59am pierre: I feel like Genesis is coming back on strong
	10:59am Dean: The only post-Gabriel Genesis I have is 1) pre-1980, and 2) bootleg.
	10:59am Joe McG: @DeaconDave: So many companies are so uncivilized! @Brian: Hey, tell Charlie to hold his horses! :)
	10:59am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: A few DJs have played Genesis lately. What are you guys up to at the station?
	10:59am Cecile: @#$%^abacab
	11:00am βrian: Oh, crap. I'm jumping the gun! I thought it was 11 CST. Sorry.
	11:00am Cecile: And this song was better in its first incarnation the J5's "The Love You Save".
	11:01am Mike Noble: @Dean - there's a great boot of Genesis live at the Lyceum from 1980, touring "Duke." The Duke suite really needs to be heard as a contiguous performance.
	11:01am herb.nyc: in alan licht's "emotional memoirs..." book, he wrote (something like) "when i think of GENESIS all i see is phil collins on a big stage running left and right". HI JOE.
	11:01am Kevlicki: I can't stand Phil Collins, but somehow wasn't annoyed by that genesis song.
	11:02am adrian in mpls: ABACAB!!
	11:02am Mike Noble: I'm not ashamed to admit my first concert was Phil Collins at the Spectrum in Philly, June 22, 1994.
	11:02am Cecile: I am and I was.
	11:02am sugarwolf: @joe ha ha well it's not like I wasnt ogling Tom H in it
	11:02am adrian in mpls: oh wait, Cecile already called that out....
	11:03am Cecile: no, it's the wildwood weed in your coffee.
	11:03am Mike Noble: @Kevlicki: maybe this could restore your Phil Collins hatred www.youtube.com...
	11:03am nickybones: Hope not! Genesis is massive.
	11:03am efd: and here I thought I was the only one bothered -- well, mildly annoyed -- by the difference in the legal ID signs between Studio A and Studio B.
	11:04am Dean: Maybe the DJs own shares of this: http://themusicalbox.net/ @Mike Noble: IIRC, I have one or two from '76 or '77. Also, come to think of it, I have a Japanese issue of the double live thing, i.e., legitimate. By "Duke," I'm afraid, I'd lost interest. Not sure I've ever heard it.
	11:04am Mike Noble: Al Kooper wrote this diamond ring, right?
	11:04am the Canterbury wood-elf: I really can't handle any Genesis after "Wind and Wuthering". The classic Gabriel albums were a huge thing for me a teenager. Never put them on anymore, but they've got something worthy about them. The Collins era was just depressing in comparison.
	11:05am Cecile: Can you play "Love Don't Live Here Any More" sometime, Joe? It is such a sweet but desolate ballad.
	11:05am Dean: OTOH, Collins' work with Brand X was terrific. And I have a soft spot for Cafe Jacques, with whom he worked.
	11:06am Mike Noble: @Dean - I once drove from PA to Montreal to see the Musical Box perform their "last ever show" in 1999. And then apparently they changed their mind?
	11:07am Cecile: I can stand some Brand X, but I have never liked one note of Genesis, and lord I have heard enough of it from my friends to make an informed decision.
	11:08am Cecile: I do have a 45 of Easy Lover because I love EWF and the song was cute.
	11:08am Carmichael: Heya Joe and peoples of the airwaves. Eclectic songlist dere.
	11:08am herb.nyc: i love the wfmu dj's! but i'm not gonna marry them! (i have a library copy of INSIDE PEE-WEE'S PLAYHOUSE now)
	👻 11:10am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. I will be over right away.
	11:10am sweet essence of giraffe: reading recommendations noted. thanks!
	11:10am ?: Should make clear that you still need plenty of volunteers AFTER the Marathon for pledge fulfillment. Unless you guys farm that out now.
	11:11am Dean: @Mike Noble: They've had a few "last shows ever," haven't they? I've never seen them, but a buddy of mine who is tight with some of the inner circle of over-the-top Genesis fans has caught them. @Cecile: Three words: "The Waiting Room." It's the Eno-ized outlier on LLDOB. There are bootleg versions that surpass the studio mess and herald jam bands way before Leftover Salmon. It's the one Genesis tune that sounds nothing like Genesis. Needless to say, it's an instrumental.
	11:11am Mike Noble: Ryley Walker is also an incredibly nice guy.
	11:13am Joe McG: @Mike: Can't wait to hear the new record en toto. Sounds Bert Janschy to me!
	11:13am Cecile: Dean, I think I heard it way back. I'll have to refresh my memory when I have a chance.
	11:14am tinkle bear: @sweet essence... giraffe ...someone take away my internet license! somehow i managed to pretend to be you. so incompetent. thanks for the reading suggestions. bye.
	11:15am rw: Bert Janschy is my new favorite adjective.
	11:16am V Priceless: great Strawbs / Sandy track Joe!
	11:16am DCE: let's all get Jaschy!
	11:17am Carmichael: Oh yeah, I know this voice. Better Sandy than the lamb like bleating of Dave Cousins.
	11:17am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @tinkle bear: a wildwood weed contact high effect, no doubt. See ya around.
	11:18am Joe McG: Oh, now, Carmichael, I like that sheepy boy.
	11:18am herb.nyc: since there's MARATHON tawk now, for the record, my acctng firm DEWEY CHEATHAM & HOWE & WHYNOT, will mail my pre-marathon pledge this afternoon. plus, they added 1% extra because they are members of the 1%. now isn't that a happy ending?
	11:18am still b/p: I don't have the big hate for Phil Collins, but have never been able to do anything but blink twice slowly when thinking about his 80s - 90s work/image and then about his young stint with Eno on Another Green World. At first glance I thought the image on Google homepage today had something to do with invention of Cheez-Whiz, but it honors the birthday of the instant noodle revoloutionary!
	11:18am Joe McG: @herb: Delightful, Herb!
	11:19am herb.nyc: i know you are, joe, but what am i?
	11:20am MattBelow: Strawbs and Sandy combo...perfect for a snowy day
	11:20am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Much obliged to you for the Strawbs and Sandy Denny, Joe. Wonderful.
	11:21am V Priceless: what Joe McG said - DC is a criminally underrated song writer & performer.
	11:22am Joe McG: @herb: Ha! @Sweet Essence: I haven't remarked on your excellent choice in name, sir.
	11:22am Carmichael: That was a bit harsh, eh? Sorry, I love the Strawbs with Denny. I find them difficult to listen when DC sings, though.
	11:23am Whosondephone: This is some very nice music you wrote Joe McGasko.
	👻 11:24am Brian in UK: Not a Phil Collins fan but as he is a David Ackles fan so I cannot dislike him. @Joe God bless Viv Stanshall for the essence.
	11:24am Cecile: When I was depressed in the 80s, I'd play the live version of this or Calgary Cross over and over again.
	11:24am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @Joe: marking 20 years since Bonzo Viv shuffled off this mortal coil.
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: Hello Sem
	11:25am Cecile: Sem, did you see that Bonzos doc link I posted?
	11:25am Joe McG: @Cecile: A fine cure-all!
	11:26am Cecile: It worked for me!
	11:26am Joe McG: @Whosondephone: Thanks! It's nice that all these talented people record my compositions.
	11:26am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @Cecile: yes. Thoroughly enjoyed the doc. Thanks again. @BrianiUK: good day to you, you motor-cycling devil, you.
	11:26am V Priceless: yeah @ Sweet Essence! Was thinking that too! @ Carm - I know where you're coming from though, as it seems a shared experience for many when it comes to DC's singing. I'm that way with some bands, too - kinda unavoidable, I guess!
	11:26am Brendan: Joe, thanks for sharing this great music today and everyday. You are a national treasure.
	11:27am βrian: @Cecile: Wow, for the entire 1980s?
	11:27am Carmichael: Gosh Joe, keep the Fairport-related stuff rolling in! Fotheringay, Brass Monkey, Matthews Southern Comfort, etc ...
	11:27am Joe McG: @Brendan: Tell my tax man!
	👻 11:27am Brian in UK: @Sem are the snows melting?
	11:28am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Cecil Yeah, that live "Calvary Cross" is something else. Assuming "Calgary Cross" was the Canadian release?
	11:28am Cecile: well, in the years I worked at a record store with Richard Thompson permanently in the rotation.
	11:28am Cecile: hahahhaha, yeah, woodelf, got it wrong. sorry
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: Feels like the first day of Spring over here. What say you Elf man?
	11:29am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: @Brian: yes, the bodies of the Dead beginning to poke through the drifts, while the Quick avert their eyes, and carry on.
	11:30am Cecile: it's below zero in MN.
	11:30am listener monica: i've never heard this song played on the radio tho it is one of my all-time favorites.
	11:30am βrian: We have blue skies over the isthmus today, though it was -15°C when I came into work.
	11:31am Chris from DC: Well on our way to 8"+ of snow here, but this is making it better.
	11:31am Joe McG: Happy to oblige, listener monica!
	11:32am northguineahills: This set is perfect for my mood, and the weather....
	11:32am V Priceless: raising my coffee cup in Viv's memory, Sem! Thanks for remembering!
	11:33am Carmichael: I played this album and Shoot Out the Lights about a million times. Don't Renege on Our Love is still one of my all-time favorites.
	11:33am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: 0C/32 F at present on the Atlantic shores of New Scotland.
	11:33am still b/p: Someone gave me a Beanie Baby giraffe just a week and a half ago. The neck of coincidence is long and it reaches toward the acacia leaves of mystery.
	👻 11:33am doctorjazz: Haven't had a chance to post thin morning, don't hear this happy couple often, great to hear them.
	11:33am Cecile: this was the version, too. I think it was on something called "Live and More"
	11:34am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Brian Yes, very springlike in East Kent, although not the first such day this week...
	11:34am Joe McG: @doctorjazz: Happy couple, ha ha ha!
	11:36am Polyus: Love this Aine O'Dwyer.
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: @elf I have been up in Stoke until today so twas a bit more chilly up North. Now in warm Watford.
	11:38am Laura L: Howdy, just a note to say what everybody else is saying--a great show today, thank you; this segment in particular's perfect for this snowy day in NYC.
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: @Sem I think I might play 'Teddy Boys Dont Knit' later. Bass Macaw & Broken Bottles is a very painful track then lightened by Terry Keeps His Clips on.
	11:39am Joe McG: @Brian: Hearing British place names makes me feel so happy. Please write some more! @Laura: Snowy day music! I'm glad it's suiting the mood...
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: Richard T plays guitar on Bass Macaw, useless fact #35.
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: Stow on the Wold
	11:41am Greg from Bloomfield: Oh, this is hitting the spot right now, Joe.
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: Ashbourne
	11:41am Joe McG: Love it! Keep going!
	11:41am Cecile: that sounds like me saying "snow on the road" with a cold.
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: Ashby de la Zouch
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: Cromer
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: Ludlow
	11:42am βrian: "Wensleydale," said Gromit.
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Minchinhampton
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Watchet
	11:43am Joe McG: Ha ha ha!
	11:44am Sem Chumbo: @Brian: it is only fitting and right that you do so. Going to spend some time here today:www.therawlinsonendudioarchive.blogspot.ca
	11:44am Brendan: Wellinghamshireton
	11:45am Sem Chumbo: Watchet? Brian, didn't you mean write "Dorking?"
	👻 11:45am Brian in UK: Woolfardisworth pronounced Woolsery
	11:46am Cecile: see, it kind of loses out without the "accent".
	11:47am V Priceless: wow this is sufficiently Procol Harumy
	11:47am Cecile: Christ, you should just go ahead and play some Procol Harum while you're at it.
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: Sem will check the link. If I ever had a show I would call it 'I Don't Know What I Want But I Want it Now' seems to some up Freeform.
	11:47am Cecile: hahahahhaha VP
	11:48am Carmichael: It is most certainly not Janschy.
	11:48am Mike East: had no idea that West Side Story Medley was Sammy Davis Jr...what a voice!
	11:48am Cecile: When I was doing sci-fi Apas, a couple of my zines went under the title "My Pink Half of the Grapevine"
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: Nice one Cecile.
	11:49am dale: yeah - this like procol harum's tour bused crashed with strawbs'
	11:49am Dean: Or cut to the chase and play Robin Trower's trio.
	11:49am dale: yeah - this like procol harum's tour bused crashed with strawbs'
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Or Gently Gianty.
	11:50am Cecile: I'd like a bridge or chorus somewhere. The guitar kinds of helps, I guess.
	11:50am V Priceless: yeah, but there's only one BJ Wilson!
	11:51am βrian: Vauvenargues." (Starting to feel continental.)
	👻 11:51am Brian in UK: There's only one BJ Cole too.
	11:51am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Joe, these'll keep you happy for a while. Worcestershire (pronounced "woostershur"); Whitstable; Dorking; Little Gidding; Gweek; Heckington; Farley Chamberlayne; Cheriton Fitzpaine; Zeal Monochorum; Ryme Intrinseca; Fernysplat (all real places in the UK)
	11:53am the Canterbury wood-elf: Oh, and let's not forget Praze-an-Beeble!
	11:53am dale: i just listened to 'early in the morning' - this morning
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: My friend lives in Puddington. He is not Frodo related.
	11:53am maja: Big hug for you Joe McG, I had some beautiful hours over here, being with your tunes.
	11:53am DCE: Dorking. ha.
	11:53am V Priceless: correction..there WAS only one Barrie Wilson. Fab show, Joe! Totally worth taking my life in my hands to get to work! Thanks!
	11:53am Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Great fun today, Joe. See you, and all these assembled perhaps, again. @Brian: I would listen to a show so named, with pleasure.
	11:54am Dean: At the reference to BJ Cole, I had to relisten to his Ravel Pavane.
	👻 11:55am Brian in UK: Great show Joe. Viv here I come. Cheers Sem.
	11:55am Brendan: Hang in there fellow nor'easters , in a week or two there'll be daffodils, buds and the like. Thanks again Joe - savin' my pennies for next week's marathon! Off for a walk in the snowy woods and to a lake in snowy Maryland.

	11:56am Claw!: Gracias, Joe! Thanks for being so tough.
	11:57am northguineahills: Thanks Joe, awesome set!
	11:57am Mike Noble: woah, that's the same simon turner who did bubblegum pop in the 70s, right?
	11:58am Polyus: Used up my daily allowance of clicky-stars on that last set alone. Cheers Joe.
	11:58am Mike Noble: Like, (Baby) I Gotta Go Simon Turner, right?
