	9:32am cory: sry about those drunken emails after you told me about the adoption.
	9:34am pierre: (Joe just fyi t's "cherche") :)
	9:34am yvan: for the french accent D Blumin is the best
	9:35am Nasty Les: Every Elastica song is basically a rip-off of some classic post-punk band or other...
	9:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Pierre! Sorry about the rough French this morning...I just couldn't wrap my tongue around it today.
	9:37am yvan: Wire sued Elastica and won
	9:37am Marcel M: Wow.. Vetiver. Forgot about these guys.
	9:37am Marcel M: Classic rockin' almost SOUTHERN rockin, eh?
	9:38am bobdoesthings: I think I like the older more folky Vetiver..
	9:39am Joe McG: Ha, Marcel!
	9:41am doca: @Joe: Are you in charge of the swag? Can I send you an e-mail to solve out a doubt I have?
	9:42am Joe McG: You bet, doca. I won't attend to it until after the show, but I'm your guy.
	9:43am Marcel M: Isn't it just horrible when you go for another cup of coffee and its cold? I think my day is ruined...
	9:43am pierre: absolutely no problem Joe. I don't when or if I should step in regarding french, I just figured you might wanted to know since it's a very common word.
	9:43am Marcel M: (first world problems)
	9:43am pierre: didn't know about the M.I.A. / Elastica trivia, thanks !
	9:44am Joe McG: @pierre: No, I really appreciate it, actually!
	9:44am Uncle Michael: Good Morning Joe, and everyone.
	9:45am doca: Thanks, @Joe!
	9:46am Fern: Thanks for the Savage Republic. Don't hear enough of them on the radio,
	9:46am steve: you mean to tell us there wasn't a southern rock version of da da da
	9:48am Joe McG: @steve: Ha ha ha! Can you make me one, Steve?
	9:52am DCE: man, is that a happy song.
	9:53am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, gang! GAH! I have do go back and listen to that Da Da Da block later.
	9:53am rsj: i thought this was my new fav version of that daft punk song, up to get lucky or whatever, edging out the chickens version..probably the next track on the album
	👻 9:55am doctorjazz: Just tuned in, great set!
	9:56am pierre: my pleasure then Joe !
	👻 9:57am doctorjazz: Loved Da Da Da! Aha Aha!
	9:59am Roberto: International music legend mans the Casio (with a straight face) = WFMU is the greatest thing to ever grace the universe
	9:59am thedunkel: I hope no one is missing this www.basichipdigitaloddio.com...
	9:59am Cecile: missed da da da :(
	10:00am pierre: geez thedunkel merci !
	10:01am Joe McG: Fun site, thedunkel!
	10:02am Ralphine: Meco ought to sue The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown for ripping off this song.
	10:02am Cecile: this actually stands as good funk and not gimmicky.
	10:03am Cecile: Love the drums on this. Crazy.
	10:03am DCE: this is not on the DJ premium, Joe?
	10:04am cory: Meco has been a favourite of mine since i was 8 or so. just so funking good
	10:04am Joe McG: I heard Kurt play a version of "Tusk" yesterday and wanted to hear some marching drums!
	10:04am DCE: yeah that was quite the version of Tusk!
	10:05am Joe McG: @DCE: I wanted to, but it's 12 minutes long and I didn't like any of my edits.
	10:05am Cecile: I feel like I am at half-time at the Bayou Classic.
	10:05am DCE: coffee's kickin' in, marching drums are kickin' in...
	10:05am Cecile: All it needs is a high-stepping tuba section.
	10:05am cory: mucca pazza would probably fit in with the music you play. have you listened to any, Joe?
	10:06am Joe McG: @cory: Oh, yeah! They were on Evan's show not long ago. I'm going to do a marching band set in the near future, guaranteed.
	10:06am Cecile: thank you Joe. This might be the best thing I heard all week, and it's been a great music week for me.
	10:07am Joe McG: My pleasure, Cecile! I agree, it's been a great week of music on WFMU this week!
	10:08am cory: awsome! #Brass4Life
	10:08am Cecile: Yeah, and I also went and bought the 2 new Dj Qbert discs. What a treasure.
	10:12am Cecile: Ha! I remember when this was in heavy rotation on nearly every show on WCBN when it came out.
	10:12am Cecile: Detroit loves the J. Geils Band.
	10:12am Joe McG: So does Jersey City! ;)
	10:13am Cecile: I was sorry that this was pretty much their swansong. Lots of fun songs on there. Great party album.
	10:14am Lewis: I never thought of J. Geils as a funk band, which explains why I was never sure about them. This is pretty cool!
	10:14am Jeff Golick: It's the Big Mattress flashbacks.
	10:14am Polyus: I used to be a flamethrower at night. Now I am usually asleep by 10:30.
	10:14am Andrew Waterloo: Apparently they used to be regulars here in Kitchener as well. But there was a falling out over Freeze Frame
	10:14am Stevel: J. Geils Band was always great at what they did. High compliment.
	10:15am Mike Sin: Hi Joe, just listenin' live and checkin' in... Looking forward to single file, as always... All your hard work during the fundraising marathon should be commended. Thanks for that.
	10:15am Cecile: If you tune into classic rock in Lower Michigan, I bet dollars to donuts that you will hear the live version of I do I do with the whole Rapunzel rap on it at least once a day.
	10:16am cory: according to my local radios "Angel in a Centerfold" is the only J. Geils Band release ever
	10:17am Ralphine: Google has destroyed my memory. I couldn't think of the name of J. Geils' lead singer to save my life.
	10:17am Cecile: Peter Wolf
	10:17am cory: Rob Thomas, right?
	10:17am Cecile: I know, cory. Sigh.
	10:18am DCE: it's funny, I was just talking about Peter Wolf the other day...I know an engineer who is working with him currently on a new project.
	10:18am Ralphine: I thought it was J. Geils.
	10:18am Joshua K: I kinda did my pledge selections and didn't use my swag for life to troll for prizes this year. We get fancy icons now?
	10:19am Cecile: Ralphine, he was the harp player.
	10:19am Cecile: no, that was Magic Dick. hahahha
	10:20am Lewis: @joshua K - yeah - aint' it cooool...
	10:20am Joe McG: @DCE: That's good news! @Joshua: Always innovating!
	10:20am Cecile: Geils was a guitarist. Ha, even in Wikipedia: "Although living in Boston, the band had always considered Detroit its second home because of its enormous popularity there."
	10:21am Ralphine: Seriously, I didn't know there was actually a J. Geils until just now. I always thought it was a made-up name.
	10:21am Joshua K: I didn't even have to e-mail you this year Joe :)
	10:21am Sean B.: I must say in my humble opinion "Freeze Frame" is the LOWEST point in The J Geils Band's career,God awful. Their first 4 albums are downright spectacular.
	10:22am Joe McG: @JK: Ha!
	10:22am Cecile: I like all of them for different reasons. Freeze Frame was a great party album for me.
	10:24am Cecile: wow, Geils is opening for Bob Seger on his tour. That's 70s Detroit right there. Wonder what the median age is going to be?
	10:26am conkrete dawg: god damn, james!
	10:26am Lewis: @Cecile - somewhere around that of the current fmu chat crowd?
	10:27am PKNY: just added "pick up this JB record" to my to-do list...so good!
	10:27am Cecile: prolly, Lewis. Or their parents...
	10:28am bobdoesthings: anyone else find james brown to be really annoying?
	10:28am Lewis: ;-))
	10:28am Joshua K: somogan
	10:29am Santos L Halper: Hi Joe. Any extra goodies on this JB reissue? It's always been a fave. And congrats on a great marathon; you're gonna be a busy swagmeister i think : )
	10:29am Cecile: no law says anyone has to like him
	10:30am Joshua K: Nothing like somogan
	10:30am Ike: James sounds a little crusty but his band is on fire beyond all normal Earth standards. Bathroom break jam, Joe?
	10:31am cory: bob, i find audio JB kinda dull sometimes. i'm almost always hooked when i get a/v JB
	10:33am Cecile: They ran this clip on TV1 Unsung when they did a special video program on all the performers in the first couple of seasons. Spellbinding.
	10:33am Ralphine: All I know is that whatsomever JB play, it's got to be FUNKY.
	10:33am Ike: Oh, Bootsy was in there. No wonder.
	10:36am pierre: here comes the 45s
	10:39am cheyenne_h: Man this PTA is so nosy!
	10:40am DCE: small-town life, man, what a drag!
	10:40am Wendy del Formaggio: I'm having a horrible memory of a horrible sitcom from early childhood based on this song. Or was it a movie? Anyway, I remember it being horrible. And it starred Jeannie from "I Dream Of..."
	10:41am Cecile: It was a sitcom and a movie
	10:42am DCE: yep, I remember it!
	10:42am Wendy del Formaggio: It shoulda just stopped with the song.
	10:43am nickybones: Single File is so erotic these days! Sexercise last week...Skinnydippin this...
	10:44am Joe McG: @nicky: I've toned down the show for the mornings. Used to be worse!
	10:44am Wendy del Formaggio: Nickybones, it IS spring. Goats and bunnies aren't the only ones getting in on the action these days.
	10:44am nickybones: ha! awesome, Joe. <makes a note to dig through old archives>
	10:45am Ike: Hope they didn't go skinny dipping in a Superfund river like the the Hudson of the 70s. If they did, they should be doing the mutant funk shuffle by now.
	10:46am nickybones: Very true, @Wendy...60 degrees in NYC...perfect skinnydippin weather
	10:47am Joe McG: Hey, everybody, I managed to get a picture on the playlist during the show FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! Just to say "T.Hanks!"
	10:48am DCE: good work, Joe!
	10:49am Greg from Bloomfield: YES!
	10:49am DCE: that joke took me way too long to figure out
	10:49am courtneynoir: HOT ROCK!
	10:50am Listener Alexandra: Dr. Noah Drake!
	10:50am Joe McG: Careful of that man's dangerous butt!
	10:51am Ick: A lot of talented DJs are going to want in on the next schedule and there won't be room for all -- somebody on staff should volunteer to go over to GTDR where they can play all the dirty NC-17 records they want, ha ha.
	10:51am Listener Alexandra: Ha!
	10:51am fleep: The Tom Hanks trash can is for stuff that is Cast Away. I'll be quiet now.
	10:53am Joe McG: Hi, Alex! Ha, Fleep!
	10:54am ChrisB.: Should Montage be filed under "Chamber Pop," or "Sunshine Pop?"
	10:54am Wendy del Formaggio: Joe McG, that picture is awesome. Considering my general opinion of the acting ability of Mr. Hanks, it works in a few different ways.
	10:55am Ick: Temporarily, of course. Do that plus help repair the 3rd floor and get Ken's dog some anti-anxiety meds, you get a coupon for whatever timeslot u want in 2017. J/k I'll shush now
	10:55am Joe McG: @ChrisB: I would say "Chamber Pop" or "Baroque Rock"!
	10:57am DCE: surprised we aren't hearing a lot more Left Banke lately
	10:58am Joe McG: @DCE: You will be soon! :)
	10:58am Polyus: Cheryl Ladd did a soft-rock cover of 'Skinnydippin', btw. I hoped that memory had been long erased, but no.
	11:00am V Priceless: great LB track - Alice Cooper did a cool version of this. RIP Michael Brown.
	11:00am Roberto: Michael Brown appeared on Bob Brainen in early '03, along with Tom Finn. It was an epic, all-over-the-place show.
	11:01am ChrisB.: I seem to go through a lot of click stars during Single File.
	11:02am Cecile: I didn't know he passed. that's sad.
	11:06am Parq: Back in time for the Brown trib. Speaking of Browns, that was a firebreathing JB track you played just shy of 10:30.
	11:07am V Priceless: I wonder if it's Roy Wood's bar...
	11:07am Greg from Bloomfield: Hope the Brits like KHLAM.
	11:10am coelacanth: howdy Joe and all
	11:11am Claw!: Hola, Meestah Feesh!
	11:11am Cecile: this is my favorite Left Banke song
	11:12am Uncle Michael: This might be mine too.
	11:12am coelacanth: man i Love this song!
	11:14am ?: that snare sounds so good
	11:16am DCE: damn got caught up in a coupla phone calls and missed some Left Banke!
	11:19am Chris from DC: Great set.
	11:20am coelacanth: Hi Bear! -i missed your greets!
	11:23am ?: :D
	11:25am burpage: joes like a heavy cup of himself another wunderful show
	11:26am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, burpage!
	11:33am DCE: so is Stories related in some way to Michael Brown?
	11:33am Parq: This is neat. I don't know any of these except for "Call You Up".
	11:35am Joe McG: @DCE: Yeah, Stories was his second band. He made 2 LPs with them before leaving them!
	11:35am coelacanth: so,aside from not knowing Michael Brown was in stories, i've been completely ignorant to this band. (...yet it's so obviously him!)
	11:36am Claw!: This here song is right purty
	11:36am Joe McG: I think so, too, Claw! Shame it never came out!
	11:37am DCE: yeah, I'm gonna have to look out for those Stories lps...!
	11:38am V Priceless: great trib, Joe - did anyone ever tell you you rule?
	11:38am Joe McG: @DCE: They're pretty easy to find and usually cheap. Not all gold, but some really great stuff on them, esp. if you're a fan of the Left Banke style, slightly updated to the 70s.
	11:38am ChrisB.: Wait a minute? Stories? "Brother Louie" Stories???
	11:39am Joe McG: @ChrisB: That's them! Thanks, VP!
	11:40am coelacanth: i only have "brother louie" on multi-artist comps,but i've heard the first album. overall i like Hot Chocolate more (at least "cicero park"), but Stories killed it! (in a good way!)
	11:40am Uncle Michael: Hot Chocolate's original still beats Stories "Brother Louie" cover. Sorry.
	11:41am Carmichael: Heya, Joe. Just now arriving to the big shoe. Yay on the Leftr Banke stuff, big Michael Brown fan here.
	11:42am Uncle Michael: Great minds, coelacanth.
	11:42am coelacanth: Uncle M, i think they're really close...but i've never bought a Stories album!
	11:43am Roberto: From what I recall, Michael pretty much tells all to Bob Brainen on that '03 appearance. Check out the archives for the full story!
	11:43am Parq: I kind of like "What Do You Know", the LB's attempt to go shitkicker. I think it's fun.
	11:44am pierre: the Cheri P(i)eople ???!!
	11:44am rsj: left bank (or right bank), when that bar closed on the south side it was time to leave willyburg
	11:44am fungus_priori: how much for the mono copy??
	11:45am Joe McG: @fungus: Got it for $12!
	11:45am MattBelow: Bring on the sunshine!
	11:46am coelacanth: sweet deal!
	11:47am fungus_priori: @joe woah, screamin deal.
	11:48am fungus_priori: clavi clavi clavi bring forth the clavi
	11:49am Joe McG: I know, that was a happy day. I've been a fan for a long time but held out. I was glad I did. Made it sweeter!
	11:49am Joe McG: @pierre: Ha ha ha!
	11:51am coelacanth: i think i was 12 when i heard "pretty ballerina" & immediately bought what i thought was their first album. it's a good comp. though.
	11:53am fungus_priori: ah man this was an excellent a+ #1 show, gotta go thanks!!
	11:54am Joe McG: Hey, thanks for listening, guys! And thanks for supporting WFMU for another year, you're the greatest!
	11:54am bobdoesthings: thanks joe!
	11:55am Wendy del Formaggio: Excellent show today, Joe! Wishing a lovely day to all my playlist friends.
	11:55am pierre: merci Joe !
	11:58am Lizardner Dave: Good stuff today, thanks Joe!
	11:59am coelacanth: Thank you Joe ciao people
	11:59am Carmichael: Joe, I gotta pick some premiums and have you total my pledges. I'll e-mail ya.
	12:00pm Claw!: Tanks, Joe! You rule.

	9:34am yvan: for the french accent D Blumin is the best
	9:35am Nasty Les: Every Elastica song is basically a rip-off of some classic post-punk band or other...
	9:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Pierre! Sorry about the rough French this morning...I just couldn't wrap my tongue around it today.
	9:37am yvan: Wire sued Elastica and won
	9:37am Marcel M: Wow.. Vetiver. Forgot about these guys.
	9:37am Marcel M: Classic rockin' almost SOUTHERN rockin, eh?

	9:39am Joe McG: Ha, Marcel!
	9:41am doca: @Joe: Are you in charge of the swag? Can I send you an e-mail to solve out a doubt I have?

	9:43am Marcel M: Isn't it just horrible when you go for another cup of coffee and its cold? I think my day is ruined...
	9:43am pierre: absolutely no problem Joe. I don't when or if I should step in regarding french, I just figured you might wanted to know since it's a very common word.
	9:43am Marcel M: (first world problems)
	9:43am pierre: didn't know about the M.I.A. / Elastica trivia, thanks !
	9:44am Joe McG: @pierre: No, I really appreciate it, actually!
	9:44am Uncle Michael: Good Morning Joe, and everyone.
	9:45am doca: Thanks, @Joe!
	9:46am Fern: Thanks for the Savage Republic. Don't hear enough of them on the radio,
	9:46am steve: you mean to tell us there wasn't a southern rock version of da da da

	9:53am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, gang! GAH! I have do go back and listen to that Da Da Da block later.

	👻 9:55am doctorjazz: Just tuned in, great set!
	9:56am pierre: my pleasure then Joe !
	👻 9:57am doctorjazz: Loved Da Da Da! Aha Aha!
	9:59am Roberto: International music legend mans the Casio (with a straight face) = WFMU is the greatest thing to ever grace the universe
	9:59am thedunkel: I hope no one is missing this www.basichipdigitaloddio.com...
	9:59am Cecile: missed da da da :(
	10:00am pierre: geez thedunkel merci !
	10:01am Joe McG: Fun site, thedunkel!
	10:02am Ralphine: Meco ought to sue The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown for ripping off this song.
	10:02am Cecile: this actually stands as good funk and not gimmicky.
	10:03am Cecile: Love the drums on this. Crazy.
	10:03am DCE: this is not on the DJ premium, Joe?
	10:04am cory: Meco has been a favourite of mine since i was 8 or so. just so funking good
	10:04am Joe McG: I heard Kurt play a version of "Tusk" yesterday and wanted to hear some marching drums!
	10:04am DCE: yeah that was quite the version of Tusk!
	10:05am Joe McG: @DCE: I wanted to, but it's 12 minutes long and I didn't like any of my edits.
	10:05am Cecile: I feel like I am at half-time at the Bayou Classic.
	10:05am DCE: coffee's kickin' in, marching drums are kickin' in...
	10:05am Cecile: All it needs is a high-stepping tuba section.
	10:05am cory: mucca pazza would probably fit in with the music you play. have you listened to any, Joe?
	10:06am Joe McG: @cory: Oh, yeah! They were on Evan's show not long ago. I'm going to do a marching band set in the near future, guaranteed.
	10:06am Cecile: thank you Joe. This might be the best thing I heard all week, and it's been a great music week for me.
	10:07am Joe McG: My pleasure, Cecile! I agree, it's been a great week of music on WFMU this week!
	10:08am cory: awsome! #Brass4Life
	10:08am Cecile: Yeah, and I also went and bought the 2 new Dj Qbert discs. What a treasure.
	10:12am Cecile: Ha! I remember when this was in heavy rotation on nearly every show on WCBN when it came out.
	10:12am Cecile: Detroit loves the J. Geils Band.
	10:12am Joe McG: So does Jersey City! ;)
	10:13am Cecile: I was sorry that this was pretty much their swansong. Lots of fun songs on there. Great party album.
	10:14am Lewis: I never thought of J. Geils as a funk band, which explains why I was never sure about them. This is pretty cool!
	10:14am Jeff Golick: It's the Big Mattress flashbacks.
	10:14am Polyus: I used to be a flamethrower at night. Now I am usually asleep by 10:30.
	10:14am Andrew Waterloo: Apparently they used to be regulars here in Kitchener as well. But there was a falling out over Freeze Frame
	10:14am Stevel: J. Geils Band was always great at what they did. High compliment.
	10:15am Mike Sin: Hi Joe, just listenin' live and checkin' in... Looking forward to single file, as always... All your hard work during the fundraising marathon should be commended. Thanks for that.
	10:15am Cecile: If you tune into classic rock in Lower Michigan, I bet dollars to donuts that you will hear the live version of I do I do with the whole Rapunzel rap on it at least once a day.
	10:16am cory: according to my local radios "Angel in a Centerfold" is the only J. Geils Band release ever
	10:17am Ralphine: Google has destroyed my memory. I couldn't think of the name of J. Geils' lead singer to save my life.
	10:17am Cecile: Peter Wolf
	10:17am cory: Rob Thomas, right?
	10:17am Cecile: I know, cory. Sigh.
	10:18am DCE: it's funny, I was just talking about Peter Wolf the other day...I know an engineer who is working with him currently on a new project.
	10:18am Ralphine: I thought it was J. Geils.
	10:18am Joshua K: I kinda did my pledge selections and didn't use my swag for life to troll for prizes this year. We get fancy icons now?
	10:19am Cecile: Ralphine, he was the harp player.
	10:19am Cecile: no, that was Magic Dick. hahahha
	10:20am Lewis: @joshua K - yeah - aint' it cooool...
	10:20am Joe McG: @DCE: That's good news! @Joshua: Always innovating!
	10:20am Cecile: Geils was a guitarist. Ha, even in Wikipedia: "Although living in Boston, the band had always considered Detroit its second home because of its enormous popularity there."
	10:21am Ralphine: Seriously, I didn't know there was actually a J. Geils until just now. I always thought it was a made-up name.
	10:21am Joshua K: I didn't even have to e-mail you this year Joe :)
	10:21am Sean B.: I must say in my humble opinion "Freeze Frame" is the LOWEST point in The J Geils Band's career,God awful. Their first 4 albums are downright spectacular.
	10:22am Joe McG: @JK: Ha!
	10:22am Cecile: I like all of them for different reasons. Freeze Frame was a great party album for me.
	10:24am Cecile: wow, Geils is opening for Bob Seger on his tour. That's 70s Detroit right there. Wonder what the median age is going to be?
	10:26am conkrete dawg: god damn, james!
	10:26am Lewis: @Cecile - somewhere around that of the current fmu chat crowd?
	10:27am PKNY: just added "pick up this JB record" to my to-do list...so good!
	10:27am Cecile: prolly, Lewis. Or their parents...
	10:28am bobdoesthings: anyone else find james brown to be really annoying?
	10:28am Lewis: ;-))
	10:28am Joshua K: somogan
	10:29am Santos L Halper: Hi Joe. Any extra goodies on this JB reissue? It's always been a fave. And congrats on a great marathon; you're gonna be a busy swagmeister i think : )
	10:29am Cecile: no law says anyone has to like him
	10:30am Joshua K: Nothing like somogan
	10:30am Ike: James sounds a little crusty but his band is on fire beyond all normal Earth standards. Bathroom break jam, Joe?
	10:31am cory: bob, i find audio JB kinda dull sometimes. i'm almost always hooked when i get a/v JB
	10:33am Cecile: They ran this clip on TV1 Unsung when they did a special video program on all the performers in the first couple of seasons. Spellbinding.
	10:33am Ralphine: All I know is that whatsomever JB play, it's got to be FUNKY.
	10:33am Ike: Oh, Bootsy was in there. No wonder.
	10:36am pierre: here comes the 45s
	10:39am cheyenne_h: Man this PTA is so nosy!
	10:40am DCE: small-town life, man, what a drag!
	10:40am Wendy del Formaggio: I'm having a horrible memory of a horrible sitcom from early childhood based on this song. Or was it a movie? Anyway, I remember it being horrible. And it starred Jeannie from "I Dream Of..."
	10:41am Cecile: It was a sitcom and a movie
	10:42am DCE: yep, I remember it!
	10:42am Wendy del Formaggio: It shoulda just stopped with the song.
	10:43am nickybones: Single File is so erotic these days! Sexercise last week...Skinnydippin this...
	10:44am Joe McG: @nicky: I've toned down the show for the mornings. Used to be worse!
	10:44am Wendy del Formaggio: Nickybones, it IS spring. Goats and bunnies aren't the only ones getting in on the action these days.
	10:44am nickybones: ha! awesome, Joe. <makes a note to dig through old archives>
	10:45am Ike: Hope they didn't go skinny dipping in a Superfund river like the the Hudson of the 70s. If they did, they should be doing the mutant funk shuffle by now.
	10:46am nickybones: Very true, @Wendy...60 degrees in NYC...perfect skinnydippin weather
	10:47am Joe McG: Hey, everybody, I managed to get a picture on the playlist during the show FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! Just to say "T.Hanks!"
	10:48am DCE: good work, Joe!
	10:49am Greg from Bloomfield: YES!
	10:49am DCE: that joke took me way too long to figure out
	10:49am courtneynoir: HOT ROCK!
	10:50am Listener Alexandra: Dr. Noah Drake!
	10:50am Joe McG: Careful of that man's dangerous butt!
	10:51am Ick: A lot of talented DJs are going to want in on the next schedule and there won't be room for all -- somebody on staff should volunteer to go over to GTDR where they can play all the dirty NC-17 records they want, ha ha.
	10:51am Listener Alexandra: Ha!
	10:51am fleep: The Tom Hanks trash can is for stuff that is Cast Away. I'll be quiet now.
	10:53am Joe McG: Hi, Alex! Ha, Fleep!
	10:54am ChrisB.: Should Montage be filed under "Chamber Pop," or "Sunshine Pop?"
	10:54am Wendy del Formaggio: Joe McG, that picture is awesome. Considering my general opinion of the acting ability of Mr. Hanks, it works in a few different ways.
	10:55am Ick: Temporarily, of course. Do that plus help repair the 3rd floor and get Ken's dog some anti-anxiety meds, you get a coupon for whatever timeslot u want in 2017. J/k I'll shush now
	10:55am Joe McG: @ChrisB: I would say "Chamber Pop" or "Baroque Rock"!
	10:57am DCE: surprised we aren't hearing a lot more Left Banke lately
	10:58am Joe McG: @DCE: You will be soon! :)
	10:58am Polyus: Cheryl Ladd did a soft-rock cover of 'Skinnydippin', btw. I hoped that memory had been long erased, but no.
	11:00am V Priceless: great LB track - Alice Cooper did a cool version of this. RIP Michael Brown.
	11:00am Roberto: Michael Brown appeared on Bob Brainen in early '03, along with Tom Finn. It was an epic, all-over-the-place show.
	11:01am ChrisB.: I seem to go through a lot of click stars during Single File.
	11:02am Cecile: I didn't know he passed. that's sad.
	11:06am Parq: Back in time for the Brown trib. Speaking of Browns, that was a firebreathing JB track you played just shy of 10:30.
	11:07am V Priceless: I wonder if it's Roy Wood's bar...
	11:07am Greg from Bloomfield: Hope the Brits like KHLAM.
	11:10am coelacanth: howdy Joe and all
	11:11am Claw!: Hola, Meestah Feesh!
	11:11am Cecile: this is my favorite Left Banke song
	11:12am Uncle Michael: This might be mine too.
	11:12am coelacanth: man i Love this song!
	11:14am ?: that snare sounds so good
	11:16am DCE: damn got caught up in a coupla phone calls and missed some Left Banke!
	11:19am Chris from DC: Great set.
	11:20am coelacanth: Hi Bear! -i missed your greets!
	11:23am ?: :D
	11:25am burpage: joes like a heavy cup of himself another wunderful show
	11:26am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, burpage!
	11:33am DCE: so is Stories related in some way to Michael Brown?
	11:33am Parq: This is neat. I don't know any of these except for "Call You Up".
	11:35am Joe McG: @DCE: Yeah, Stories was his second band. He made 2 LPs with them before leaving them!
	11:35am coelacanth: so,aside from not knowing Michael Brown was in stories, i've been completely ignorant to this band. (...yet it's so obviously him!)
	11:36am Claw!: This here song is right purty
	11:36am Joe McG: I think so, too, Claw! Shame it never came out!
	11:37am DCE: yeah, I'm gonna have to look out for those Stories lps...!
	11:38am V Priceless: great trib, Joe - did anyone ever tell you you rule?
	11:38am Joe McG: @DCE: They're pretty easy to find and usually cheap. Not all gold, but some really great stuff on them, esp. if you're a fan of the Left Banke style, slightly updated to the 70s.
	11:38am ChrisB.: Wait a minute? Stories? "Brother Louie" Stories???
	11:39am Joe McG: @ChrisB: That's them! Thanks, VP!
	11:40am coelacanth: i only have "brother louie" on multi-artist comps,but i've heard the first album. overall i like Hot Chocolate more (at least "cicero park"), but Stories killed it! (in a good way!)
	11:40am Uncle Michael: Hot Chocolate's original still beats Stories "Brother Louie" cover. Sorry.
	11:41am Carmichael: Heya, Joe. Just now arriving to the big shoe. Yay on the Leftr Banke stuff, big Michael Brown fan here.
	11:42am Uncle Michael: Great minds, coelacanth.
	11:42am coelacanth: Uncle M, i think they're really close...but i've never bought a Stories album!
	11:43am Roberto: From what I recall, Michael pretty much tells all to Bob Brainen on that '03 appearance. Check out the archives for the full story!
	11:43am Parq: I kind of like "What Do You Know", the LB's attempt to go shitkicker. I think it's fun.
	11:44am pierre: the Cheri P(i)eople ???!!
	11:44am rsj: left bank (or right bank), when that bar closed on the south side it was time to leave willyburg
	11:44am fungus_priori: how much for the mono copy??
	11:45am Joe McG: @fungus: Got it for $12!
	11:45am MattBelow: Bring on the sunshine!
	11:46am coelacanth: sweet deal!
	11:47am fungus_priori: @joe woah, screamin deal.
	11:48am fungus_priori: clavi clavi clavi bring forth the clavi
	11:49am Joe McG: I know, that was a happy day. I've been a fan for a long time but held out. I was glad I did. Made it sweeter!
	11:49am Joe McG: @pierre: Ha ha ha!
	11:51am coelacanth: i think i was 12 when i heard "pretty ballerina" & immediately bought what i thought was their first album. it's a good comp. though.
	11:53am fungus_priori: ah man this was an excellent a+ #1 show, gotta go thanks!!
	11:54am Joe McG: Hey, thanks for listening, guys! And thanks for supporting WFMU for another year, you're the greatest!
