	9:16am MD: GOOD MORNING SOLDIERS OF THE FREEFORM!!!!
	9:18am Marcel M: Morning Joe and world!
	9:18am Brendan: I hope when robots and computers take over that they are like the ones in this set.
	9:19am Claw!: This is amazing
	9:19am northguineahills: Apparently , it's too early for me to grammar or spell.
	9:19am Joe McG: GOOD MORNING, MD, YOU ARE VERY EXCITED THIS MORNING! Hi, Marcel!
	9:21am MD: oh no! the robots have taken over while we slept! THE EAST COAST IS GONE!!! SAVE YOURSELFS!!!
	9:21am ChrisB.: Ralf and Florian are not amused.
	9:22am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:22am OTB: Robots would be far more pleasant to work for than my current employers. Especially THESE robots.
	9:22am MD: LOL!!! i'll finish my coffee now and calm down!!!!
	9:23am MD: sorry for the rants!!!
	9:24am Joe McG: @MD: Ha, don't worry, MD, but watch that caffeine. HI, OTB and BDT and CB!
	9:25am northguineahills: The Chemical Bros. are still making music, cool, I dig!
	9:31am Brendan: All robots need a funktion
	9:31am bobdoesthings: I'm wearing my black woof-moo shirt at work today
	9:32am Joe McG: A fine wardrobe decision, Bob.
	9:33am bobdoesthings: @joe - Now to see if any coworkers are cool cats and recognize!
	9:34am fred: @NGH: The Chemical Brothers played at the Montreux Jazz festival last month: www.montreuxjazzfestival.com...
	9:35am Cecile: hola!
	9:35am KP: No Joy to the world!
	9:36am Joe McG: Hi, Fred! Really? Hi, Cecile! Hi, KP!
	9:37am bobdoesthings: I once shouted at a guy in tribeca walking by with an FMU shirt on.. I went "HEY! COOL SHIRT" right in his face.. and kept walking.
	9:37am Cheri Pi: Nice shirt BobDT!
	9:38am Claw!: Friggin Bob. You would do that... :-P
	9:38am Brendan: I got two nice shirt compliments on the same in the grocery from different people the same night! You are becoming a worldwide sensation Joe!
	9:39am northguineahills: @Fred: I haven't seen them since 1997.
	9:40am bobdoesthings: hey bear. you bet your claws I would!
	9:40am Joe McG: Seeing a person in a strange place who is wearing an FMU shirt can sometimes put one more at ease. Sometimes!
	9:41am Lars: STEREOLAB! Again! This session is Awesome. Thank You Joe
	9:42am Claw!: It's what makes you special, Bob.
	9:44am Joe McG: This is nice earphone candy, this song!
	9:44am Brendan: You onto something. I think they should wear the woof moo shirts at peace talks, global summits. And hostage negotiators and anyone talking someone off a ledge should be wearing one.
	9:45am bobdoesthings: Yup.... sometimes... but sometimes you can tell that a fmu t-shirt wearer is a weirdo person... so you just gotta shout "cool shirt" in their face and keep walking.
	9:45am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	9:45am northguineahills: There can never be too much Stereolab! (used to close mix tapes w/ this track)
	9:47am bobdoesthings: wuuuuuhhhhht??? How could you hate stereolab?
	9:47am thedunkel: Morning Joe and other McGasko-eens!
	9:47am Hot Bar: stereolab 4eva
	9:47am steve: let me at these Stereolab haters! hold me back!
	9:48am Polyus: Everyone knows Kid Rock is actually everything that was wrong with the 90s.
	9:48am MD: I love "the lab" I am a Lab head!
	9:49am northguineahills: I had friends in college that thought Stereolab was too derivative... As opposed to whom?
	9:49am Brendan: Stereolab might have Radio Shack's house brand
	9:49am Cecile: I like that one with Bawitcha. I would offer that Limp Bizkit are far worse.
	9:50am Hugh: Thumbs up for Stereolab!
	9:50am sphere: I blame Pearl Jam for everything wrong in the 90s.
	9:50am Cecile: ok, Pi, what did you think of Neurosis?
	9:50am sphere: oh hi folks :)
	9:50am maestroso: Tartu Popi are from Estonia, I think...
	9:51am bobdoesthings: you did sound like Ken! more ken initiations! for the lols.
	9:51am Cecile: Estonia is Finland. It's just owned by Russia.
	9:52am Claw!: Thursday is my faaaaavorite FMU day. <3
	9:52am northguineahills: Although my wife complains that I play too much Stereolab, probably b/c outside MBV, it's the only poppy music that I'll play more then once a year.
	9:52am Cecile: it used to be part of the Finn thing, then the Russians took it.
	9:52am Marcel M: @BOB: He told us NO Ken imitations this morning. But, it was right after he already did one. So maybe we'll get some more!
	9:52am Brendan: Or a cool boutique speaker store where they are very creative and do bong hits for coffee break . 'Hi welcome to Stereolab. Can I help you?'
	9:53am Polyus: Ha, fair enough re: Limp Bizkit and the 90s. I only thought of it because I saw this in today's Detroit Free Press:www.freep.com...
	9:53am coelacanth: good morning Joe and surfactants
	9:54am Claw!: Buenos dias, Fish!
	9:55am Claw!: I just ate two Krispy Kreme donuts, and I feel fantastic. Donuts promote wellness.
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Julian Cope on expounding on Krautrock (or something) called Stereolab imitators & derogatorily declaimed them 'French Jazz'...I idolize that guy, but I can't keep up...
	9:56am coelacanth: hey there Bear!!
	9:57am Claw!: REMIX!
	9:57am Cecile: eh, half his brain is swiss cheese. I'd take whatever Julian says with a grain of salt.
	9:57am bobdoesthings: @coelacanth - "surfactants" sounds like a chemical that causes cancer
	9:57am Claw!: The Au Pairs sound great no matter what. ESPECIALLY THIS SONG!
	9:57am Jack: But the skipping sounds great!
	9:58am steve: just bust out an 808 kickdrum and stick it underneath and your good!
	9:58am Joe McG: You guys are hilarious! In addition to my upcoming "wrong speed" show, I should do a "skipping CD" show.
	9:59am coelacanth: 2¢ : i'm not in the stereolab mood often,but when i am, nothing else will do. ...and i'm sorry i missed it today.
	10:00am Claw!: Do a "wrong speed" "skipping CD" Rigby show!
	10:00am Wendy del Formaggio: I know I've said it before, but bear with me, please: Joe, I love your show.
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I like Stereolab - & French Jazz for that matter ...lotsa Skipping @ FMU lately
	10:00am Marcel M: I like this, Au Pairs. I'm crankin' it man!
	10:01am Joe McG: Aw, tanks, Wendy! It's obvious, but I like it.
	10:02am Claw!: Some Bush Tetras would be a nice follow-up to this...
	10:02am coelacanth: bob, it's true. some of us may cause cancer.
	10:02am Brendan: Equal but different is a great lyric to play for a mathematician or a robot. Smoke starts coming out of their ears . 'Does not compute!' But of course its obvious to the rest of us.
	10:02am Cecile: I have heard this Au Pairs too many times. It was a WCBN hit.
	10:03am KP: Yes, Cecile. It's Obvious
	10:05am Joe McG: The BBC version is nicely the same but different.
	10:05am coelacanth: Bear!- so true!..or action pact...
	10:06am Brendan: That song was obvious, omnipresent and omnipotent in its time.
	10:07am Cecile: it's a great song, but the amount of times it was played, no song could stand up to that kind of exposure.
	10:07am Cecile: I still get a twitch in side of my face when I hear Wordy Rappinghood
	10:08am βrian: Sleep thieves? Heh. They were in my bedroom last night. I'm leaning on a quadruple espresso right now.
	10:10am coelacanth: a girl said she liked my (woof moo) t shirt sunday. 'said it's the only station she listens to. i said (incredulously)"how old are you?". she said 13. ...there's hope!
	10:12am Joe McG: @coelcanth: That's a real cockle-warming story!
	10:13am Wendy del Formaggio: I started listening to WFMU when I was 12. Not exclusively, but I did. Right around then I picked up the first LCD issue, too, when I was at...uh...maybe Rocks In Your Head? Oy, so long ago!
	10:13am Cecile: that's great. it will be a tough road for her, though, if she doesn't have weird parents or friends.
	10:13am Mike East: I got made fun of on the street the other day for my "Prove it all night" shirt...I thought to myself, "what am I in high school again?" What kind of grown man makes fun of another grown man's tee shirt? Freakin' bully, man.
	10:14am KP: She has coelcanth
	10:15am V Priceless: @ Mike East - a clueless, insecure douche bag, no doubt
	10:15am Mike East: though on a positive note, last week I made a friend on the train because of my Morricone Island tee shirt. Today I debuted my radio alphabet shirt.
	10:15am Mike East: bingo, VP.
	10:15am Cecile: right on, KP.
	10:16am Brendan: Robots like folk music .
	10:16am Clueless, Insecure Douche Bag: Yeah, and what of it???
	10:16am bobdoesthings: I am being tortured at work right now.
	10:16am KP: My initial encounters were a lot like those of the director of FMU documentary: In car only, going to work in city, getting in earlier and earlier to listen more and more.
	10:16am V Priceless: Boys of Softness!
	10:17am Claw!: Sounds like a job for OSHA, Bob.
	10:17am βrian: I'm befuddled by T-shirts that lack a breast pocket.
	10:17am Joe McG: @Mike: Keep rockin' the FMU wardrobe!
	10:17am Grok-o-matic: @joe I gotta say, you have one of the best shows on radio ever. Everytime I turn on WFMU and it's a song that I immediately have to know what it is, it's always your show.
	10:19am coelacanth: Cecile she said her dad listens to it sometimes...but the boy she was with (who i've had extensive conversation with) is a 14-15 (?) year-old genius. a total outcast who will do huge things one day. ...he's on her side ,at least.
	10:19am Joe McG: Gee, thanks, Grok-0-matic. I've never felt so grokked!
	10:20am KP: My FB calendar just alerted me that I have a concert to go to in Edinburgh tonight.
	10:20am V Priceless: Joe, you know you are Grokked with a capital "G"
	10:20am Cecile: coel, then she's in a great place. Parents and a weird friend. excellent.
	10:20am Tome: I was told once that people that listen to "this kind of radio" are either retired hippies or pseudo - intellectual crack heads ,, I'm glad I fit in there somewhere ..
	10:21am Cecile: like I told my nephews - you'll be all right if you can find the weirdos. I'm neither.
	10:21am Marcel M: I like these boys, they are soft, but not TOO soft. Just ripe enough.
	10:21am Brendan: Easy I C D .. Its called Surface Noise , not Surface Tension
	10:22am coelacanth: Hahaha!
	10:22am Cecile: like a perfect avocado, Marcel.
	10:22am Joe McG: @KP: Have a good flight!
	10:24am KP: Can i bring back some haggis for yea, Joe.
	10:24am Joe McG: Aye, do. Ta!
	10:26am Cecile: awesome! speaking of the Credibility Gap the other day on Tony's show - here are two of the main instigators.
	10:26am Marcel M: @Cecile: Exactly! AH! I guessed 80s the second it came on. SO CLOSE!
	10:26am Listener Alexandra: Lenny and Squiggy 4EVA!
	10:27am Cecile: I watched Laverne and Shirley for them. They were hysterical.
	10:28am steve: haha unexpected Squiggy! anything he says makes me laugh
	10:29am Cecile: I know. That voice.
	10:30am Cecile: they had the best actors of all the Happy Days spinoff axis.
	10:30am Cecile: Michael McKean and David Lander
	10:31am βrian: The beer is much better in Wisconsin now than in Laverne's day.
	10:31am coelacanth: i knew i knew those names from somewhere! - somewhere in the cobwebs of my mind.
	10:31am steve: remember when the Simpsons were on the reality show where they had to live like they were in the 1800s and for some reason the producers had Squiggy move in with them. that was awesome.
	10:33am Cecile: Yes!!!!
	10:34am Cecile: she was on Welcome Back kotter!
	10:34am βrian: Will this be an 45s @ 78 rpm set?
	10:34am Cecile: this is awesome
	10:35am Brendan: Didn't Laverne and Shirley work on a production line with delicious ice cold beer bottles going by non stop? Boy its tough but someone had to do it...
	10:36am Joe McG: @Brendan: I LOVE the fact that they were bottlecappers at ta 1950s brewery called "Shotz."
	10:36am qwerty: Watta sweathog, I mean sweetheart.
	10:36am βrian: Perhaps not so delicious. It was the 70s, after all.
	10:36am JoeRay: Marcia strassman also on MASH's first season.
	10:36am riff randell: A lost Phil Spector wonder!
	10:38am Joe McG: Hey, Riff! @JoeRay: Yes, she had that foxy short haircut then.
	10:38am frenchee: Marcia! I looked her up and she died in Oct. 2014. Sad.
	👻 10:39am tadpoles: Great voice Cilla - thanks Joe
	10:40am ChrisB.: Cilla never made much of a splash on this side of the pond.
	10:41am Brendan: @ Joe thats it! Ha. Just found this : https://legendsofbeer.wordpress.com/2008/12/30/15-famous-beers-youll-probably-never-drink/
	10:41am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Sad we're now without HER. @frenchee: I know, such a bummer.
	10:41am Lorne Guyland: Kotter's cool (to me) apartment made me wanna move to NYC when I wuz a little twerp.
	10:42am Cecile: She got written off as one of the singers the Beatles supplanted in US rock history books, when she was still popular for long time there, and the Beatles liked her a lot.
	10:42am Cecile: oh jeez. a radio show here played like six versions of this one.
	10:42am Brendan: The three stooges beer and golf course episode was their best
	10:43am sphere: i really dug the bit where Shirley put a glove on the beer during the opening sequence.
	10:43am ChrisB.: @Brendan: "Beer Barrel Polecats."
	10:44am Polyus: Not to be a dummy, but who recorded this first?
	10:44am Joe McG: @sphere: I think it was Laverne, wasn't it? It's more her character.
	10:45am sphere: i believe you are right, Joe. beg pardon.
	10:46am Polyus: Russ Ballard, never mind.
	10:46am Cecile: en.wikipedia.org... Rainbow did one
	10:46am Cecile: But Russ Ballard did it first.
	10:48am Joe McG: @sphere: I'm becoming a L&S expert!
	10:48am steve: for later - great classic episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast with both David Lander and Michael McKean! www.youtube.com...
	10:49am Mike East: listened to a bunch of otis redding on the ride home from montauk on Tuesday. Love that man.
	10:50am riff randell: Wild Wednesday night behaviour!
	10:50am paul b: Good Lord I haven't heard "Since you've been Gone in 35+ years. The station in Key West used to play it. I was in the Navy stationed at NAS Key West in those days. WHFS (the Cordell ave. Bethesda WHFS) might have played it in immediate latter years. It was my favorite song for a week or so
	10:50am Cecile: ah, Billy! Rockpile stalwart
	10:51am common: thanks for that, steve! hello joe and all!
	10:51am Joe McG: @Riff: Ruh-roh! @Paul: Man, I love that song, I don't care WHO does it. @Cecile: Isn't this a marvelous B-side?
	10:52am Cecile: and that's Dave and Nick on vocals, and Dave on guitar
	10:52am Cecile: it's a great song. As is his Winning.
	10:52am Cecile: it is Joe!
	10:54am coelacanth: howdy common!
	10:54am Andy the painter: hey joe! apropos of nothing.... "the kids" these days really DO call records "vinyls"... was thrift shopping yesterday and heard it.... "how much are the vinyls?" "dude, I got a lot of vinyls the other day"
	10:56am Joe McG: @Andy: As long as they don't buy the "vinyls" I want....! Hi, common!
	👻 10:56am doctorjazz: Hi all, getting here late, great set, sounding great over the cat radio!
	10:56am ChrisB.: "Far and Water." Love that.
	10:56am Polyus: I have seen t-shirts lately that read "The Plural Of Vinyl Is Vinyl".
	10:56am Claw!: Andy, I work at a record store, and I can't tell you how many times I hear this. It GRATES at my soul every. single. time. I do my part to correct them, but damn - it's everywhere.
	10:57am bobdoesthings: you sure it's not vinylesses?
	👻 10:57am doctorjazz: Oops, spelling correction gaff.
	10:58am Joe McG: Hello, doctor, how are your vinyls this morning?
	10:58am Dean: So the kids these days are unaware of flexi-discs?
	10:58am Claw!: I believe the proper plural is, "vinum."
	👻 10:58am doctorjazz: Want to get a cat radio, though.
	10:59am Claw!: Hahaha
	10:59am Claw!: "Vinodes?"
	10:59am Cecile: hey, whatever. They are buying them. So that's cool!
	10:59am Claw!: "Vini?"
	10:59am ChrisB.: What are 45's? Vinylettes?
	11:00am Andy the painter: joe: one of them actually did get a crusaders rekkid I woulda liked. dammit. I hope his mind is adequately blown.
	11:00am Dean: Istu vinum bonum vinum vinum generosu.
	11:00am coelacanth: 45s = vignettes.
	11:01am BLCKDGRD: Hey Joe, marathon swag still being sent out? as in you all haven't finished? No hurry - the person I'm giving something to is in October, just curious if I missed something. Re: HFS - there's a documentary in the works. Note - sad news: The great Bob Here died.
	11:01am Andy the painter: but I got Roland kirk's "blacknuss" for a dollah. what a rekkid!
	👻 11:02am doctorjazz: Love my vinylinea!
	11:02am BLCKDGRD: Sorry (a) birthday in October and (b) WHFS doc feastyourearsthefilm.com
	11:03am coelacanth: (...and of course many of them are not even made of vinyl.)
	11:03am Cecile: andy, that is one of the greatest funk records ever. Even though it's a jazz record.
	11:04am coelacanth: 66 years young.
	11:05am Cecile: she probably did. It was the 70s.
	11:07am Cecile: or she was probably working so much.
	11:08am coelacanth: yes it's "fro".
	11:09am dennis diken: Joe, digging the show! I haven't been able to tune in for awhile. glad I can today. a gasser!
	11:10am herb.nyc: hi joe et al - (1) that MEKONS docu is really really good. i thought the WEKONS bit was very cute. (2) marcia strassman's thin-ness: writer gina arnold said that she's "seen fatter breadsticks" than PAUL WESTERBERG's arms (3) did you mention TOO MUCH LIGHT... actor on "prove it all night"? because i've seen too much light... and it is very very good & funny.
	11:10am Joe McG: Why, thanks, Dennis! You're the best!
	11:10am Joe McG: I feel bad now about saying anything about Marcia's weight. None of my business and mean.
	11:11am Claw!: It's ok, Joe. Live and learn.
	11:12am Joe McG: @Claw: Yeah, sorry about that. You say things on the radio and there they ARE.
	11:12am Rev. Turnip Druid: SUP!
	11:13am KP: He threw the doll away!
	11:14am KP: Poor Tommy
	11:14am Cecile: that's what he gets for being non-binary.
	11:14am riff randell: What was that playing behind you talking?
	11:15am Joe McG: Don't throw your kids' dolls away, people!
	11:15am rw: Joe, what are you doing? This is the saddest song ever.
	11:15am ChrisB.: Oops. Should have known where Ernest was going with this one.
	11:15am Rev. Turnip Druid: WHAT IS THIS MADNESS I'VE WANDERED INTUH?
	11:15am Hot Mess: Same thing happened to me--my parents gave away my ventriloquist dummy to my female cousin! I didn't learn my lesson......
	11:15am blee: At least that 5 year old died like a man.
	11:15am Claw!: @Joe - You're probably one of the most stand-up people on the air - I'm sure your listeners are familiar enough with you to know that you aren't a mean dude. Don't dwell on it.
	11:16am Brendan: Old country songs about bizarre tragedy in a major key.
	11:16am frenchee: weeping onto the keyboard here, Joe!
	11:16am Claw!: Hell yeah, Porter. "The Rubber Room" is my favorite song of his.
	11:16am KP: This is what Ray Davis on AMU used to call "plum pitiful."
	11:17am Cecile: don't feel bad. She was quite slight.
	11:17am frenchee: @Claw! A friend of mine named his radio show "The Rubber Room"--theme song every week.....
	11:17am V Priceless: Looks like the new FF flick is the major suck-ass fest everyone expected it to be. What a drag. Oh, the irony of this 'doomed' franchise....
	11:17am Brendan: Is Ray still kicking?
	11:17am ChrisB.: Porter would get his wish if he sits in coach.
	11:17am CDToaster: Great show today, Joe. Thanks for the lesson. You're quite the Musicologist.
	11:18am 67tele: are we going to hear 'shannon' next?
	11:18am Hot Mess: Good thing he didn't squeeze a piglet to death
	11:18am Claw!: The sound of babies crying makes so super-anxious. Nice, frenchee!
	11:18am Cecile: It's not part of Marvel Studios. So the quality control's not there, which kind of sucks because the FF are icons.
	11:18am Claw!: @ChrisB - rimshot Nicely done.
	11:19am Rev. Turnip Druid: Quickly! More sadness! Before the vicodin™ runs out!
	11:19am Rev. Turnip Druid: [speaking of which, not responsible for comment board activity for the next 3 days]
	11:19am V Priceless: indeed, C
	11:20am herb.nyc: it's perfectly fine to wonder if anyone had bulimia issues, joe, you were not being mean. semi-related: canadian film director BRUCE LA BRUCE once said "if you ever watch a movie & wonder if an actor is gay or not, well, assume yes" (paraphrased). semi-semi-related: last night on 7 second delay, ANDY BRECKMAN made such a sarcastic comment, couched as a non-sarcastic comment. so funny.
	11:20am Brendan: He was not dead , just discombobulated.
	11:20am V Priceless: ok..large rock tied-up with rope to the ankle...edge of the short pier....see ya's...
	11:21am Cecile: I love that you quoted Bruce LaBruce. His Twitter feed is essential.
	11:21am Claw!: No, V! Don't do it! Think of all the Maker's Mark you won't get to drink!
	11:22am Cecile: what happened at the end of Paralyzed? I got called away for a sec.
	11:22am V Priceless: (ker-plunk)!
	11:23am Hot Mess: She leaves the toilet seat down like you!
	11:23am ChrisB.: Why, Helen! I'm blushing!
	11:23am herb.nyc: i love these country songs!!! i learned of song "psycho" from ELVIS COSTELLO, and WILL RIGBY once sang it at (original) knitting factory (wait, or was it tonic?). have you ever played it joe, and if so, what version?
	11:24am bobdoesthings: Johnny paycheck!
	11:24am herb.nyc: @cecile - bruce made that comment back in90's, pre-twitter. i guess i should follow him. thanks
	11:24am Carmichael: Heya Joe and people of the ether. Great choice of entry music.
	11:25am ChrisB.: Met Johnny Paycheck in a Hyatt bar in Chicago in 1979. Too cool.
	11:25am Claw!: I will eat a Meat Loaf in honor of the late V Priceless.
	11:25am Cecile: shorter Johnny Patience: Schadenfreude is my German dish.
	11:26am Cecile: herb, it's a lot of promo stuff for his films, but he'll get some salty comments in that are bracing.
	11:26am Joe McG: @herb: Sure, I've played "Psycho"! Several versions, I think. @Chris: Wow, I can't imagine!! He seems so intense.
	11:26am Cooh John: Such a sad set. Sob, sob.
	11:27am ChrisB.: Very mellow, Joe. Mickey Gilley was with him, but rather stand-offish.
	11:28am Cecile: you can't be like those songs or then you become Glen Danzig.
	11:28am Joe McG: @Chris: I think he's one of the greats, an amazing songwriter.
	11:28am frenchee: thanks, Joe, I am now completely corn-fed and chicken-fried! mmm, almost lunchtime.
	11:29am common: my band stayed in bruce labruce's flat years ago. fun times
	11:29am Hot Mess: Schadenfreude is a dish best served cold.....
	11:30am Joe McG: You bet, frenchee! I'm hungry meself.
	11:30am Cecile: cool! six degrees of fmu.
	11:30am Cecile: hahahha hot mess
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Patrick Campbell-Lyons eh. One half of the original UK Nirvana.
	11:31am herb.nyc: i used to sing the "you think i'm psycho don't you mama..." bit to an old girl friend, and she'd get scared & tell me to stop. will rigby said leon payne said no one could release a version of that song UNTIL he died. true?
	👻 11:32am James in ATL: Do you think Dallas Corey ever heard a Jimmy Buffet record? ;-)
	11:33am Joe McG: @James: Most definitely! But did Jimmy Buffet ever write a concept album about drug dealing?
	11:33am Cecile: man, Dallas was kind of naïve about that.
	11:33am Polyus: I had the same thought, James. It reminds me a lot of "Pirate Looks At 40". (I had a co-worker who listened to him a lot, ok?)
	11:33am Cecile: the flute and backup vocals make this
	11:34am Cecile: Joe, is the rest of this album as nuts as this?
	11:34am Greg from ZONE 5: Dealers gonna deal deal deal deal deal / And feelers gonna feel feel feel feel feel…
	11:35am Brendan: Let me get this right 'Dealers deal', feelers feel' and 'Lovers love' How the hell am i going to remember that. If there were some kind of nemonic.
	11:35am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yeah, it's nuts. Wait till I read you the liner notes!
	11:35am Rev. Turnip Druid: …good lord….
	11:35am Cecile: Oboy oboy!
	11:35am Andy the painter: I think jimmy Buffett has made a concept album about food and clothing marketing, though.
	11:35am Claw!: @James - Holy crap, I was just thinking that Corey song was vaguely reminiscent of Jimmy Buffet! Glad I wasn't alone on that.
	11:36am Cecile: there were a lot of laid back songwriters in the 70s/80s. Buffett was just the most obnoxious.
	11:37am Hot Mess: Brendan: just check your fly....'flyers fly"
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: What have Elvis and Buffett in common? Never toured the UK (to the best of my knowledge).
	11:39am Carmichael: Norton and I ran in the same circles for a while in the 80s. He had a great band, and I ... didn't.
	11:39am mto: enough already! more Stereolab!!
	11:40am Joe McG: @Carmichael: He had a nice little band, didn't he?
	11:40am Joe McG: @mto: Ha ha ha!
	11:40am Brendan: I'll zip it. Zip it real good.
	11:42am ChrisB.: Wow. Golden Palaminos. Have to dig this one out.
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: 5D, yes please.
	11:44am rw: The Byrds... Can't remember the song title.
	11:45am Carmichael: He had a couple, Joe. At the time, it was The Knockouts. Also, when I was in peak running condition, his 70 year old dad kicked my ass in a 10k.
	11:46am Claw!: Yeah, them's some weed songs, alright.
	👻 11:46am Brian in UK: Just been stung by a wasp. First prize.
	11:47am Cecile: "wow" "this" "is" "hilarious"
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: Joe, could you send me some research materials.
	11:47am Cecile: selling pop music to stoners. Hmmm, intriguing idea.
	11:48am Greg from ZONE 5: I know, right? It's about time somebody wrote a song about drugs.
	11:48am Cecile: and sold them to that underserved doper audience.
	11:49am Jeff: See? Pot IS a gateway drug. A gateway to the overuse of quotation marks.
	11:50am KP: The Boids!
	11:51am common: was just thinking about thie record. strange
	11:51am MattBelow: One of the Byrds crowning moments methinks. McGuinn's sympathy is great on this tune
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Joe, off next week for a short vacations as you folks call it. Always loved the variety that The Byrds demanded us listen to.
	11:52am Carmichael: The painters have covered every window at work, but have yet to paint. I'm cocooned and listening to the Byrds. Not sure if that's good.
	11:52am Cecile: never heard this. It's really powerful.
	11:53am Michele: Hi Joe! Great show today!
	11:54am Joe McG: @matt: I agree, it gives me goosebumps. Hi, Michele! Thanks so much!
	11:54am bobdoesthings: update: someone commented on my fmu shirt today !! they said "whats that mean?!" .. not much.. but it's something!
	11:54am KP: Two great personal songs from McGuinn.
	11:56am βrian: Busy Doing Nothing (with Charlie) coming up on the Drummer stream: wfmu.org...
	11:56am V Priceless: on the bright side, Happy Robert Mitchum birthday! hey Michele - congrats on your podcast thingy! thanks Joe!
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Here now....did I miss much?
	11:57am Claw!: Awesome show! Great job! Thanks, Joe. :-)
	11:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Joe!
	11:57am KP: See ya Joe
	11:57am Joe McG: Classy ending, eh? Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone. Have a great weekend!
	11:57am bobdoesthings: thanks joe! great showwww! till next week!
	11:58am coelacanth: Thanks Joe! later on y'all
	11:58am Spaniel: nice, really enjoyed the show and the goofy country set. that was fun!
	11:58am bobdoesthings: you think the Might mighty got their band name from these cats..?
	11:59am Brendan: Muchas GrassyAss señor Joe
	11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Funny: Your least classy record is like high art on Rex's show...
	👻 12:00pm James in ATL: Thanks Joe!
	12:00pm Listener Scott: great show Joe, thanks as always

	9:18am Brendan: I hope when robots and computers take over that they are like the ones in this set.
	9:19am Claw!: This is amazing
	9:19am northguineahills: Apparently , it's too early for me to grammar or spell.
	9:19am Joe McG: GOOD MORNING, MD, YOU ARE VERY EXCITED THIS MORNING! Hi, Marcel!
	9:21am MD: oh no! the robots have taken over while we slept! THE EAST COAST IS GONE!!! SAVE YOURSELFS!!!
	9:21am ChrisB.: Ralf and Florian are not amused.
	9:22am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:22am OTB: Robots would be far more pleasant to work for than my current employers. Especially THESE robots.
	9:22am MD: LOL!!! i'll finish my coffee now and calm down!!!!
	9:23am MD: sorry for the rants!!!
	9:24am Joe McG: @MD: Ha, don't worry, MD, but watch that caffeine. HI, OTB and BDT and CB!
	9:25am northguineahills: The Chemical Bros. are still making music, cool, I dig!
	9:31am Brendan: All robots need a funktion
	9:31am bobdoesthings: I'm wearing my black woof-moo shirt at work today
	9:32am Joe McG: A fine wardrobe decision, Bob.
	9:33am bobdoesthings: @joe - Now to see if any coworkers are cool cats and recognize!
	9:34am fred: @NGH: The Chemical Brothers played at the Montreux Jazz festival last month: www.montreuxjazzfestival.com...
	9:35am Cecile: hola!
	9:35am KP: No Joy to the world!
	9:36am Joe McG: Hi, Fred! Really? Hi, Cecile! Hi, KP!
	9:37am bobdoesthings: I once shouted at a guy in tribeca walking by with an FMU shirt on.. I went "HEY! COOL SHIRT" right in his face.. and kept walking.
	9:37am Cheri Pi: Nice shirt BobDT!
	9:38am Claw!: Friggin Bob. You would do that... :-P
	9:38am Brendan: I got two nice shirt compliments on the same in the grocery from different people the same night! You are becoming a worldwide sensation Joe!
	9:39am northguineahills: @Fred: I haven't seen them since 1997.
	9:40am bobdoesthings: hey bear. you bet your claws I would!
	9:40am Joe McG: Seeing a person in a strange place who is wearing an FMU shirt can sometimes put one more at ease. Sometimes!
	9:41am Lars: STEREOLAB! Again! This session is Awesome. Thank You Joe
	9:42am Claw!: It's what makes you special, Bob.
	9:44am Joe McG: This is nice earphone candy, this song!
	9:44am Brendan: You onto something. I think they should wear the woof moo shirts at peace talks, global summits. And hostage negotiators and anyone talking someone off a ledge should be wearing one.
	9:45am bobdoesthings: Yup.... sometimes... but sometimes you can tell that a fmu t-shirt wearer is a weirdo person... so you just gotta shout "cool shirt" in their face and keep walking.
	9:45am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	9:45am northguineahills: There can never be too much Stereolab! (used to close mix tapes w/ this track)
	9:47am bobdoesthings: wuuuuuhhhhht??? How could you hate stereolab?
	9:47am thedunkel: Morning Joe and other McGasko-eens!
	9:47am Hot Bar: stereolab 4eva
	9:47am steve: let me at these Stereolab haters! hold me back!
	9:48am Polyus: Everyone knows Kid Rock is actually everything that was wrong with the 90s.
	9:48am MD: I love "the lab" I am a Lab head!
	9:49am northguineahills: I had friends in college that thought Stereolab was too derivative... As opposed to whom?
	9:49am Brendan: Stereolab might have Radio Shack's house brand
	9:49am Cecile: I like that one with Bawitcha. I would offer that Limp Bizkit are far worse.
	9:50am Hugh: Thumbs up for Stereolab!
	9:50am sphere: I blame Pearl Jam for everything wrong in the 90s.
	9:50am Cecile: ok, Pi, what did you think of Neurosis?
	9:50am sphere: oh hi folks :)
	9:50am maestroso: Tartu Popi are from Estonia, I think...
	9:51am bobdoesthings: you did sound like Ken! more ken initiations! for the lols.
	9:51am Cecile: Estonia is Finland. It's just owned by Russia.
	9:52am Claw!: Thursday is my faaaaavorite FMU day. <3
	9:52am northguineahills: Although my wife complains that I play too much Stereolab, probably b/c outside MBV, it's the only poppy music that I'll play more then once a year.
	9:52am Cecile: it used to be part of the Finn thing, then the Russians took it.
	9:52am Marcel M: @BOB: He told us NO Ken imitations this morning. But, it was right after he already did one. So maybe we'll get some more!
	9:52am Brendan: Or a cool boutique speaker store where they are very creative and do bong hits for coffee break . 'Hi welcome to Stereolab. Can I help you?'
	9:53am Polyus: Ha, fair enough re: Limp Bizkit and the 90s. I only thought of it because I saw this in today's Detroit Free Press:www.freep.com...
	9:53am coelacanth: good morning Joe and surfactants
	9:54am Claw!: Buenos dias, Fish!
	9:55am Claw!: I just ate two Krispy Kreme donuts, and I feel fantastic. Donuts promote wellness.
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Julian Cope on expounding on Krautrock (or something) called Stereolab imitators & derogatorily declaimed them 'French Jazz'...I idolize that guy, but I can't keep up...
	9:56am coelacanth: hey there Bear!!
	9:57am Claw!: REMIX!
	9:57am Cecile: eh, half his brain is swiss cheese. I'd take whatever Julian says with a grain of salt.
	9:57am bobdoesthings: @coelacanth - "surfactants" sounds like a chemical that causes cancer
	9:57am Claw!: The Au Pairs sound great no matter what. ESPECIALLY THIS SONG!
	9:57am Jack: But the skipping sounds great!
	9:58am steve: just bust out an 808 kickdrum and stick it underneath and your good!
	9:58am Joe McG: You guys are hilarious! In addition to my upcoming "wrong speed" show, I should do a "skipping CD" show.
	9:59am coelacanth: 2¢ : i'm not in the stereolab mood often,but when i am, nothing else will do. ...and i'm sorry i missed it today.
	10:00am Claw!: Do a "wrong speed" "skipping CD" Rigby show!
	10:00am Wendy del Formaggio: I know I've said it before, but bear with me, please: Joe, I love your show.
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I like Stereolab - & French Jazz for that matter ...lotsa Skipping @ FMU lately
	10:00am Marcel M: I like this, Au Pairs. I'm crankin' it man!
	10:01am Joe McG: Aw, tanks, Wendy! It's obvious, but I like it.
	10:02am Claw!: Some Bush Tetras would be a nice follow-up to this...
	10:02am coelacanth: bob, it's true. some of us may cause cancer.
	10:02am Brendan: Equal but different is a great lyric to play for a mathematician or a robot. Smoke starts coming out of their ears . 'Does not compute!' But of course its obvious to the rest of us.
	10:02am Cecile: I have heard this Au Pairs too many times. It was a WCBN hit.
	10:03am KP: Yes, Cecile. It's Obvious
	10:05am Joe McG: The BBC version is nicely the same but different.
	10:05am coelacanth: Bear!- so true!..or action pact...
	10:06am Brendan: That song was obvious, omnipresent and omnipotent in its time.
	10:07am Cecile: it's a great song, but the amount of times it was played, no song could stand up to that kind of exposure.
	10:07am Cecile: I still get a twitch in side of my face when I hear Wordy Rappinghood
	10:08am βrian: Sleep thieves? Heh. They were in my bedroom last night. I'm leaning on a quadruple espresso right now.
	10:10am coelacanth: a girl said she liked my (woof moo) t shirt sunday. 'said it's the only station she listens to. i said (incredulously)"how old are you?". she said 13. ...there's hope!
	10:12am Joe McG: @coelcanth: That's a real cockle-warming story!
	10:13am Wendy del Formaggio: I started listening to WFMU when I was 12. Not exclusively, but I did. Right around then I picked up the first LCD issue, too, when I was at...uh...maybe Rocks In Your Head? Oy, so long ago!
	10:13am Cecile: that's great. it will be a tough road for her, though, if she doesn't have weird parents or friends.
	10:13am Mike East: I got made fun of on the street the other day for my "Prove it all night" shirt...I thought to myself, "what am I in high school again?" What kind of grown man makes fun of another grown man's tee shirt? Freakin' bully, man.
	10:14am KP: She has coelcanth
	10:15am V Priceless: @ Mike East - a clueless, insecure douche bag, no doubt
	10:15am Mike East: though on a positive note, last week I made a friend on the train because of my Morricone Island tee shirt. Today I debuted my radio alphabet shirt.
	10:15am Mike East: bingo, VP.
	10:15am Cecile: right on, KP.
	10:16am Brendan: Robots like folk music .
	10:16am Clueless, Insecure Douche Bag: Yeah, and what of it???
	10:16am bobdoesthings: I am being tortured at work right now.
	10:16am KP: My initial encounters were a lot like those of the director of FMU documentary: In car only, going to work in city, getting in earlier and earlier to listen more and more.
	10:16am V Priceless: Boys of Softness!
	10:17am Claw!: Sounds like a job for OSHA, Bob.
	10:17am βrian: I'm befuddled by T-shirts that lack a breast pocket.
	10:17am Joe McG: @Mike: Keep rockin' the FMU wardrobe!
	10:17am Grok-o-matic: @joe I gotta say, you have one of the best shows on radio ever. Everytime I turn on WFMU and it's a song that I immediately have to know what it is, it's always your show.
	10:19am coelacanth: Cecile she said her dad listens to it sometimes...but the boy she was with (who i've had extensive conversation with) is a 14-15 (?) year-old genius. a total outcast who will do huge things one day. ...he's on her side ,at least.
	10:19am Joe McG: Gee, thanks, Grok-0-matic. I've never felt so grokked!
	10:20am KP: My FB calendar just alerted me that I have a concert to go to in Edinburgh tonight.
	10:20am V Priceless: Joe, you know you are Grokked with a capital "G"
	10:20am Cecile: coel, then she's in a great place. Parents and a weird friend. excellent.
	10:20am Tome: I was told once that people that listen to "this kind of radio" are either retired hippies or pseudo - intellectual crack heads ,, I'm glad I fit in there somewhere ..
	10:21am Cecile: like I told my nephews - you'll be all right if you can find the weirdos. I'm neither.
	10:21am Marcel M: I like these boys, they are soft, but not TOO soft. Just ripe enough.
	10:21am Brendan: Easy I C D .. Its called Surface Noise , not Surface Tension
	10:22am coelacanth: Hahaha!
	10:22am Cecile: like a perfect avocado, Marcel.
	10:22am Joe McG: @KP: Have a good flight!
	10:24am KP: Can i bring back some haggis for yea, Joe.
	10:24am Joe McG: Aye, do. Ta!
	10:26am Cecile: awesome! speaking of the Credibility Gap the other day on Tony's show - here are two of the main instigators.
	10:26am Marcel M: @Cecile: Exactly! AH! I guessed 80s the second it came on. SO CLOSE!
	10:26am Listener Alexandra: Lenny and Squiggy 4EVA!
	10:27am Cecile: I watched Laverne and Shirley for them. They were hysterical.
	10:28am steve: haha unexpected Squiggy! anything he says makes me laugh
	10:29am Cecile: I know. That voice.

	10:31am steve: remember when the Simpsons were on the reality show where they had to live like they were in the 1800s and for some reason the producers had Squiggy move in with them. that was awesome.

	10:34am Cecile: this is awesome
	10:35am Brendan: Didn't Laverne and Shirley work on a production line with delicious ice cold beer bottles going by non stop? Boy its tough but someone had to do it...
	10:36am Joe McG: @Brendan: I LOVE the fact that they were bottlecappers at ta 1950s brewery called "Shotz."
	10:36am qwerty: Watta sweathog, I mean sweetheart.
	10:36am βrian: Perhaps not so delicious. It was the 70s, after all.
	10:36am JoeRay: Marcia strassman also on MASH's first season.

	10:42am Cecile: oh jeez. a radio show here played like six versions of this one.
	10:42am Brendan: The three stooges beer and golf course episode was their best
	10:43am sphere: i really dug the bit where Shirley put a glove on the beer during the opening sequence.
	10:43am ChrisB.: @Brendan: "Beer Barrel Polecats."
	10:44am Polyus: Not to be a dummy, but who recorded this first?
	10:44am Joe McG: @sphere: I think it was Laverne, wasn't it? It's more her character.
	10:45am sphere: i believe you are right, Joe. beg pardon.
	10:46am Polyus: Russ Ballard, never mind.
	10:46am Cecile: en.wikipedia.org... Rainbow did one
	10:46am Cecile: But Russ Ballard did it first.
	10:48am Joe McG: @sphere: I'm becoming a L&S expert!
	10:48am steve: for later - great classic episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast with both David Lander and Michael McKean! www.youtube.com...
	10:49am Mike East: listened to a bunch of otis redding on the ride home from montauk on Tuesday. Love that man.
	10:50am riff randell: Wild Wednesday night behaviour!
	10:50am paul b: Good Lord I haven't heard "Since you've been Gone in 35+ years. The station in Key West used to play it. I was in the Navy stationed at NAS Key West in those days. WHFS (the Cordell ave. Bethesda WHFS) might have played it in immediate latter years. It was my favorite song for a week or so
	10:50am Cecile: ah, Billy! Rockpile stalwart
	10:51am common: thanks for that, steve! hello joe and all!
	10:51am Joe McG: @Riff: Ruh-roh! @Paul: Man, I love that song, I don't care WHO does it. @Cecile: Isn't this a marvelous B-side?
	10:52am Cecile: and that's Dave and Nick on vocals, and Dave on guitar
	10:52am Cecile: it's a great song. As is his Winning.
	10:52am Cecile: it is Joe!
	10:54am coelacanth: howdy common!
	10:54am Andy the painter: hey joe! apropos of nothing.... "the kids" these days really DO call records "vinyls"... was thrift shopping yesterday and heard it.... "how much are the vinyls?" "dude, I got a lot of vinyls the other day"
	10:56am Joe McG: @Andy: As long as they don't buy the "vinyls" I want....! Hi, common!
	👻 10:56am doctorjazz: Hi all, getting here late, great set, sounding great over the cat radio!
	10:56am ChrisB.: "Far and Water." Love that.
	10:56am Polyus: I have seen t-shirts lately that read "The Plural Of Vinyl Is Vinyl".
	10:56am Claw!: Andy, I work at a record store, and I can't tell you how many times I hear this. It GRATES at my soul every. single. time. I do my part to correct them, but damn - it's everywhere.
	10:57am bobdoesthings: you sure it's not vinylesses?
	👻 10:57am doctorjazz: Oops, spelling correction gaff.
	10:58am Joe McG: Hello, doctor, how are your vinyls this morning?
	10:58am Dean: So the kids these days are unaware of flexi-discs?
	10:58am Claw!: I believe the proper plural is, "vinum."
	👻 10:58am doctorjazz: Want to get a cat radio, though.
	10:59am Claw!: Hahaha
	10:59am Claw!: "Vinodes?"
	10:59am Cecile: hey, whatever. They are buying them. So that's cool!
	10:59am Claw!: "Vini?"
	10:59am ChrisB.: What are 45's? Vinylettes?
	11:00am Andy the painter: joe: one of them actually did get a crusaders rekkid I woulda liked. dammit. I hope his mind is adequately blown.
	11:00am Dean: Istu vinum bonum vinum vinum generosu.
	11:00am coelacanth: 45s = vignettes.
	11:01am BLCKDGRD: Hey Joe, marathon swag still being sent out? as in you all haven't finished? No hurry - the person I'm giving something to is in October, just curious if I missed something. Re: HFS - there's a documentary in the works. Note - sad news: The great Bob Here died.
	11:01am Andy the painter: but I got Roland kirk's "blacknuss" for a dollah. what a rekkid!
	👻 11:02am doctorjazz: Love my vinylinea!
	11:02am BLCKDGRD: Sorry (a) birthday in October and (b) WHFS doc feastyourearsthefilm.com
	11:03am coelacanth: (...and of course many of them are not even made of vinyl.)
	11:03am Cecile: andy, that is one of the greatest funk records ever. Even though it's a jazz record.
	11:04am coelacanth: 66 years young.
	11:05am Cecile: she probably did. It was the 70s.
	11:07am Cecile: or she was probably working so much.
	11:08am coelacanth: yes it's "fro".
	11:09am dennis diken: Joe, digging the show! I haven't been able to tune in for awhile. glad I can today. a gasser!
	11:10am herb.nyc: hi joe et al - (1) that MEKONS docu is really really good. i thought the WEKONS bit was very cute. (2) marcia strassman's thin-ness: writer gina arnold said that she's "seen fatter breadsticks" than PAUL WESTERBERG's arms (3) did you mention TOO MUCH LIGHT... actor on "prove it all night"? because i've seen too much light... and it is very very good & funny.
	11:10am Joe McG: Why, thanks, Dennis! You're the best!
	11:10am Joe McG: I feel bad now about saying anything about Marcia's weight. None of my business and mean.
	11:11am Claw!: It's ok, Joe. Live and learn.
	11:12am Joe McG: @Claw: Yeah, sorry about that. You say things on the radio and there they ARE.
	11:12am Rev. Turnip Druid: SUP!
	11:13am KP: He threw the doll away!
	11:14am KP: Poor Tommy
	11:14am Cecile: that's what he gets for being non-binary.
	11:14am riff randell: What was that playing behind you talking?
	11:15am Joe McG: Don't throw your kids' dolls away, people!
	11:15am rw: Joe, what are you doing? This is the saddest song ever.
	11:15am ChrisB.: Oops. Should have known where Ernest was going with this one.
	11:15am Rev. Turnip Druid: WHAT IS THIS MADNESS I'VE WANDERED INTUH?
	11:15am Hot Mess: Same thing happened to me--my parents gave away my ventriloquist dummy to my female cousin! I didn't learn my lesson......
	11:15am blee: At least that 5 year old died like a man.
	11:15am Claw!: @Joe - You're probably one of the most stand-up people on the air - I'm sure your listeners are familiar enough with you to know that you aren't a mean dude. Don't dwell on it.
	11:16am Brendan: Old country songs about bizarre tragedy in a major key.
	11:16am frenchee: weeping onto the keyboard here, Joe!
	11:16am Claw!: Hell yeah, Porter. "The Rubber Room" is my favorite song of his.
	11:16am KP: This is what Ray Davis on AMU used to call "plum pitiful."
	11:17am Cecile: don't feel bad. She was quite slight.
	11:17am frenchee: @Claw! A friend of mine named his radio show "The Rubber Room"--theme song every week.....
	11:17am V Priceless: Looks like the new FF flick is the major suck-ass fest everyone expected it to be. What a drag. Oh, the irony of this 'doomed' franchise....
	11:17am Brendan: Is Ray still kicking?
	11:17am ChrisB.: Porter would get his wish if he sits in coach.
	11:17am CDToaster: Great show today, Joe. Thanks for the lesson. You're quite the Musicologist.
	11:18am 67tele: are we going to hear 'shannon' next?
	11:18am Hot Mess: Good thing he didn't squeeze a piglet to death
	11:18am Claw!: The sound of babies crying makes so super-anxious. Nice, frenchee!
	11:18am Cecile: It's not part of Marvel Studios. So the quality control's not there, which kind of sucks because the FF are icons.
	11:18am Claw!: @ChrisB - rimshot Nicely done.
	11:19am Rev. Turnip Druid: Quickly! More sadness! Before the vicodin™ runs out!
	11:19am Rev. Turnip Druid: [speaking of which, not responsible for comment board activity for the next 3 days]
	11:19am V Priceless: indeed, C
	11:20am herb.nyc: it's perfectly fine to wonder if anyone had bulimia issues, joe, you were not being mean. semi-related: canadian film director BRUCE LA BRUCE once said "if you ever watch a movie & wonder if an actor is gay or not, well, assume yes" (paraphrased). semi-semi-related: last night on 7 second delay, ANDY BRECKMAN made such a sarcastic comment, couched as a non-sarcastic comment. so funny.
	11:20am Brendan: He was not dead , just discombobulated.
	11:20am V Priceless: ok..large rock tied-up with rope to the ankle...edge of the short pier....see ya's...
	11:21am Cecile: I love that you quoted Bruce LaBruce. His Twitter feed is essential.
	11:21am Claw!: No, V! Don't do it! Think of all the Maker's Mark you won't get to drink!
	11:22am Cecile: what happened at the end of Paralyzed? I got called away for a sec.
	11:22am V Priceless: (ker-plunk)!
	11:23am Hot Mess: She leaves the toilet seat down like you!
	11:23am ChrisB.: Why, Helen! I'm blushing!
	11:23am herb.nyc: i love these country songs!!! i learned of song "psycho" from ELVIS COSTELLO, and WILL RIGBY once sang it at (original) knitting factory (wait, or was it tonic?). have you ever played it joe, and if so, what version?
	11:24am bobdoesthings: Johnny paycheck!
	11:24am herb.nyc: @cecile - bruce made that comment back in90's, pre-twitter. i guess i should follow him. thanks
	11:24am Carmichael: Heya Joe and people of the ether. Great choice of entry music.
	11:25am ChrisB.: Met Johnny Paycheck in a Hyatt bar in Chicago in 1979. Too cool.
	11:25am Claw!: I will eat a Meat Loaf in honor of the late V Priceless.
	11:25am Cecile: shorter Johnny Patience: Schadenfreude is my German dish.
	11:26am Cecile: herb, it's a lot of promo stuff for his films, but he'll get some salty comments in that are bracing.
	11:26am Joe McG: @herb: Sure, I've played "Psycho"! Several versions, I think. @Chris: Wow, I can't imagine!! He seems so intense.
	11:26am Cooh John: Such a sad set. Sob, sob.
	11:27am ChrisB.: Very mellow, Joe. Mickey Gilley was with him, but rather stand-offish.
	11:28am Cecile: you can't be like those songs or then you become Glen Danzig.
	11:28am Joe McG: @Chris: I think he's one of the greats, an amazing songwriter.
	11:28am frenchee: thanks, Joe, I am now completely corn-fed and chicken-fried! mmm, almost lunchtime.
	11:29am common: my band stayed in bruce labruce's flat years ago. fun times
	11:29am Hot Mess: Schadenfreude is a dish best served cold.....
	11:30am Joe McG: You bet, frenchee! I'm hungry meself.
	11:30am Cecile: cool! six degrees of fmu.
	11:30am Cecile: hahahha hot mess
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Patrick Campbell-Lyons eh. One half of the original UK Nirvana.
	11:31am herb.nyc: i used to sing the "you think i'm psycho don't you mama..." bit to an old girl friend, and she'd get scared & tell me to stop. will rigby said leon payne said no one could release a version of that song UNTIL he died. true?
	👻 11:32am James in ATL: Do you think Dallas Corey ever heard a Jimmy Buffet record? ;-)
	11:33am Joe McG: @James: Most definitely! But did Jimmy Buffet ever write a concept album about drug dealing?
	11:33am Cecile: man, Dallas was kind of naïve about that.
	11:33am Polyus: I had the same thought, James. It reminds me a lot of "Pirate Looks At 40". (I had a co-worker who listened to him a lot, ok?)
	11:33am Cecile: the flute and backup vocals make this
	11:34am Cecile: Joe, is the rest of this album as nuts as this?
	11:34am Greg from ZONE 5: Dealers gonna deal deal deal deal deal / And feelers gonna feel feel feel feel feel…
	11:35am Brendan: Let me get this right 'Dealers deal', feelers feel' and 'Lovers love' How the hell am i going to remember that. If there were some kind of nemonic.
	11:35am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yeah, it's nuts. Wait till I read you the liner notes!
	11:35am Rev. Turnip Druid: …good lord….
	11:35am Cecile: Oboy oboy!
	11:35am Andy the painter: I think jimmy Buffett has made a concept album about food and clothing marketing, though.
	11:35am Claw!: @James - Holy crap, I was just thinking that Corey song was vaguely reminiscent of Jimmy Buffet! Glad I wasn't alone on that.
	11:36am Cecile: there were a lot of laid back songwriters in the 70s/80s. Buffett was just the most obnoxious.
	11:37am Hot Mess: Brendan: just check your fly....'flyers fly"
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: What have Elvis and Buffett in common? Never toured the UK (to the best of my knowledge).
	11:39am Carmichael: Norton and I ran in the same circles for a while in the 80s. He had a great band, and I ... didn't.
	11:39am mto: enough already! more Stereolab!!
	11:40am Joe McG: @Carmichael: He had a nice little band, didn't he?
	11:40am Joe McG: @mto: Ha ha ha!
	11:40am Brendan: I'll zip it. Zip it real good.
	11:42am ChrisB.: Wow. Golden Palaminos. Have to dig this one out.
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: 5D, yes please.
	11:44am rw: The Byrds... Can't remember the song title.
	11:45am Carmichael: He had a couple, Joe. At the time, it was The Knockouts. Also, when I was in peak running condition, his 70 year old dad kicked my ass in a 10k.
	11:46am Claw!: Yeah, them's some weed songs, alright.
	👻 11:46am Brian in UK: Just been stung by a wasp. First prize.
	11:47am Cecile: "wow" "this" "is" "hilarious"
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: Joe, could you send me some research materials.
	11:47am Cecile: selling pop music to stoners. Hmmm, intriguing idea.
	11:48am Greg from ZONE 5: I know, right? It's about time somebody wrote a song about drugs.
	11:48am Cecile: and sold them to that underserved doper audience.
	11:49am Jeff: See? Pot IS a gateway drug. A gateway to the overuse of quotation marks.
	11:50am KP: The Boids!
	11:51am common: was just thinking about thie record. strange
	11:51am MattBelow: One of the Byrds crowning moments methinks. McGuinn's sympathy is great on this tune
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Joe, off next week for a short vacations as you folks call it. Always loved the variety that The Byrds demanded us listen to.
	11:52am Carmichael: The painters have covered every window at work, but have yet to paint. I'm cocooned and listening to the Byrds. Not sure if that's good.
	11:52am Cecile: never heard this. It's really powerful.
	11:53am Michele: Hi Joe! Great show today!
	11:54am Joe McG: @matt: I agree, it gives me goosebumps. Hi, Michele! Thanks so much!
	11:54am bobdoesthings: update: someone commented on my fmu shirt today !! they said "whats that mean?!" .. not much.. but it's something!
	11:54am KP: Two great personal songs from McGuinn.
	11:56am βrian: Busy Doing Nothing (with Charlie) coming up on the Drummer stream: wfmu.org...
	11:56am V Priceless: on the bright side, Happy Robert Mitchum birthday! hey Michele - congrats on your podcast thingy! thanks Joe!
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Here now....did I miss much?
	11:57am Claw!: Awesome show! Great job! Thanks, Joe. :-)
	11:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Joe!
	11:57am KP: See ya Joe
	11:57am Joe McG: Classy ending, eh? Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone. Have a great weekend!
	11:57am bobdoesthings: thanks joe! great showwww! till next week!
	11:58am coelacanth: Thanks Joe! later on y'all
	11:58am Spaniel: nice, really enjoyed the show and the goofy country set. that was fun!
	11:58am bobdoesthings: you think the Might mighty got their band name from these cats..?
	11:59am Brendan: Muchas GrassyAss señor Joe
	11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Funny: Your least classy record is like high art on Rex's show...
	👻 12:00pm James in ATL: Thanks Joe!
