12:13pm doctorjazz:

12:14pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

If you guys need me I'm in the Monty Hall soundbooth!

👻

12:14pm Artie Haywire:

Yip!!

12:15pm MattBelow:

@Todd: So far there is plenty-o screamin' goin' ahn. May need you later to perk up the party!

12:18pm Cecile:

that's right, they were tough.

12:20pm Uncle Michael:

Todd-O...you leave your potty-mouth in Monty Hall.

12:25pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Getting so much information today!

12:26pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Who is in the soundbooth with Todd-O-PHonic this time?

12:27pm Listener 108581:

man, nobody sings like Barrence.

12:28pm Nate K.:

In case anyone is concerned, yes, there is a Sandford & Son wiki: sanfordandson.wikia.com...

12:28pm Cecile:

he's one of the greatest, period.

12:29pm Listener 108581:

@Cecile is correct as usual.

12:30pm Nate K.:

Levon! Best voice.

👻

12:32pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Just refreshed the home page and the ape is strutting past half a mil, but the station hasn't reached 50% yet. I hope things are on track.

12:33pm Cecile:

glass harp guy

12:33pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Dear God! I hope you guys have Todd-proofed the studio…

12:33pm MattBelow:

@Ken: We gotta get to 600k to be 50%
Pledge and give the ape some walking power!

12:34pm Clay:

Ooh you hit a never. Phil Keaggy was in the great Youngstown, Ohio band, Glass Harp. Rather an underground legend. Great show guys.

12:34pm Clay:

a nerve*

12:35pm Cecile:

phil also made the kind of Christian music that people would go, "Normally I don't like Christian music, but I like this..."

12:36pm Clay:

And his bassist, Dan Pecchio, went on to join the Michael Stanley Band.

12:36pm Joe B:

thanks clay! first cut on Vol. 5!

12:41pm Miss Georgia Peach:

Sounding great, guys!

12:45pm Dave in Vermont:

Wiley, TX; I used to have family there.

12:48pm Uncle Michael:

When Phil Keaggy has played here, Kerry Livgren has shown up to sit in. I went once and "Normally I don't like Christian music, but..."

12:48pm Caryn:

I'm still saying that if Joe B ever runs out of celebs with musical pasts, you could fill a whole premium with Brits: Ricky Gervais, Stephen Mangan, prof. Brian Cox, Vic Reeves, Billy Connolly, Noel Fielding, Craig Ferguson & Peter Capaldi... Heck, even young Judi Dench as Sally Bowles in Cabaret would probably count.

12:49pm Cecile:

There are some clips of Judi Dench in Cabaret on YouTube that are great.

👻

12:50pm Artie Haywire:

Six songs in 50 minutes. Impressive levels of time-filling patter.

12:52pm Uncle Michael:

Keeping that gap filling music to a minimum, Artie.

👻

12:52pm Artie Haywire:

Spackle. It's all spackle.

12:52pm mary:

it was worth quitting my job just to listen to three chord mondays!

1:01pm Uncle Michael:

Holy cow, this rocks.

1:03pm doctorjazz:

True, wasn't expecting that from Dwight Yoakam

1:03pm Cecile:

I turned my late dad on to Dwight...

1:04pm Matt F:

Come on people! You really don't wanna hear us sing...

1:05pm Matt F:

Still a few minutes to get in the running to win the Dwight Yoakam! any pledge of 20 bucks or more is eligible.

1:06pm Cecile:

remember - we've heard Nick the Bard sing.

1:07pm this sux:

love this cut!

1:08pm Lewis:

sounds a bit like the Box Masters...

1:09pm Nacho:

A small pledge from the south of the globe. Hope it helps... Greetings from Chile!

1:10pm chris:

Hi, everyone.

i don't believe yoakam is a man of constant sorrow

1:11pm Listener 108581:

That has to be about the best version of MofCS.

1:12pm Jeff:

I heard the preceding song on the radio, and was thinking... that sounds kind of like Dwight Yoakam. Wait, that sounds like a twangy electric-Country version of "Man of Constant Sorrow". Who the hell is that?

The playlist answers all.

1:13pm Man of Infrequent Sorrow:

Twang!

1:13pm Lewis:

@108581 - give Roscoe Holcomb a listen on that front...

1:15pm Jeff:

I have to say I'm still partial to a spare high lonesome treatment for MofCS.

1:17pm Uncle Michael:

Uncle Pen...for sure.

1:23pm Caryn:

fxo's premium has several versions of MoCS, and hearing the Yoakam version, I started to wonder if he might slip that version in there.

1:24pm glenn:

and of course, dylan did it as maid of costant sorrow.

1:26pm Cecile:

blind shake!

1:33pm joe:

People who blew me (off) :)

1:33pm glenn:

no show joes?

1:33pm Cliff:

Hi everybody, does anyone have a link to the page with the descriptions of the premiums?

1:35pm Uncle Michael:

wfmu.org...

1:35pm Relf:

Love this Yardbirds cover!

1:35pm MattBelow:

@Cliff: wfmu.org...

1:36pm andy the painter:

hey joe...was doing some work at the station on the day you were taping freakwater and we chatted about the feelies at the kitchen table.
you, and all wfmu dj's, are tremendous resources.
time for listeners to support them!
best....

1:36pm Cliff:

Thanks guys! :)

1:37pm Farner:

Work all day makin' them ... nickel bags!

1:39pm Matt F:

Pledge NOW and win one of these two volumes of Spanish nuggets! Come on!

1:39pm Listener 108581:

La Droga = the Drug? funny.

1:40pm Cliff:

Yeah, was that to get past censors, or did they think LSD is the One and Only Drug anyone ever needs....

1:40pm Cecile:

probably, "you are the drug, baby"

1:41pm Cliff:

Because I'd have to disagree if it's the latter, you also need beer at least

1:41pm Listener 108581:

AND Corazon Lleno De Mal = Heart Full of Evil. I think they're TAKING SOME LIBERTIES HERE.

1:42pm joe:

No Way Jose...

1:42pm Caryn:

Maybe for the band it was "the drug of choice"?

1:47pm Gaylord Fields:

A Spanish version of Nino Tempo and April Stevens' genius fuzz-guitar-and-bagpipes take on "I Love How You Love Me" — now I've heard everything!

1:48pm djelrock:

Asturias is a. Region of Spain. Bagpipes are part of their local flavor. They are called gaitas.

1:48pm Matt F:

You have until the end of this song to get in the running! Don't forget that pledges of 100 bucks or more are eligible to win the Velvets Matrix box at the end of the show!

1:48pm Cecile:

People, treasure this moment. I wouldn't think that happens that much to Gaylord!

1:49pm djelrock:

Los Ronaldos and Loquillo are classic garage rock bands from 80's. Good collection.

1:50pm will in Paris:

Corazon lleno de mal: OK, this is an incredible track. My kids call it " Coeur rempli d'âme". Love an
d kisse from Paris, France

1:51pm Gaylord Fields:

@Cecile: My secret is out: I don't know every song. Shhhhh...

1:51pm joe:

Stay out of the damn parking lot.

1:52pm Cecile:

is that Georgia Peach from the Short Fuses? They were a great band.

Gaylord, you've forgotten more than I will ever know...

1:52pm andy the painter:

oh yeah.....i put my money where my fingers are..
pledged 100 for my SFL!

1:57pm Cliff:

Gaylord, that can't be true. I refuse to believe it! ;)

1:57pm Gaylord Fields:

@Cecile: Surprised you don't know the spectacular Georgia Peach personally. Guess she's not your letter carrier, either.

1:57pm Pidge:

Good info, El Rock!

1:57pm Dave in Vermont:

WNTI was the first non-commercial station I listened to growing up. It was the first time I realized how great radio could be. There was this guy who read short stories on the air. It was the station that made me realize it was possible I could be on the radio-eventually i had a show at a college station up here. And my love for NTI led me to discovering FMU. Anyway, Hackettstown, represent. Thanks Joe; thanks WFMU.

1:58pm Michael Shelley:

FOLKS - give it up for JOE BELOCK - WFMU's Rockingist DJ.

ALSO - I think it is important that Joe & MATT earn more this week then Joe earned last week with that foul mouthed Todd!

2:00pm Cecile:

He was on Babylon 5. Also sadly a couple of celebrity drug rehab series.

2:03pm Cecile:

Also, people are probably half asleep from Spring Forward.

2:03pm Caryn:

Jeff Conaway, Marilu Henner and John Travolta used to all live together in NYC. Henner and Travolta were dating, Conaway was Danny and Travolta was Putzie in Grease on Broadway back then.

2:03pm Listener 108581:

PFF! What an insult! It's Wednesday of course...

2:06pm Cliff:

What are you talking about?! It's Tuesday.

2:08pm Cliff:

(I really did think it was Tuesday when I woke up this morning...8)

2:09pm DonJuanTijuana:

@Joe B How many tracks on that Celebrities Vol #4?

2:11pm Brian C.:

We all love Cale but how bout some props for Doug Yule rocking the organ!

2:12pm andy the painter:

i know. the organ on this track knocks me out

2:13pm Cecile:

That version is so great.

2:13pm andy the painter:

i know. the organ on this track knocks me out

2:16pm Cecile:

david gates was in Beefheart's band for a minute, too.

2:19pm MattBelow:

Pledge Pledge Pledge! So many prizes up for grabs!

2:19pm johnk77:

albert lee
replaced james burton
in emmy lou harris
road band

2:27pm Cecile:

Yeah, Sly is definitely a time travel show.

2:29pm johnk77:

miles electric band
played w/dead at fillmore/sf

2:30pm bill me:

that's a deluxe eminee I think

2:34pm Frank Above:

Folks, I just ate. Please pledge so I don't lose my lunch!

2:36pm Caryn:

I'm rooting for the singing, if only because I missed the Yo La Tengo show as I was at my birthday party at the time. Yeah, it's not gonna be as great, but it'll be as entertaining, if not more.

2:37pm Cecile:

this is kind of decent!

👻

2:37pm Artie Haywire:

My houseplants just died.

2:37pm doctorjazz:

OUCH!!!!

2:37pm Listener 108581:

Really decent. More!

2:37pm Gaylord Fields:

The Earbleach Boys

2:40pm Miss Georgia Peach:

Sing Sing Sing!!!!

2:41pm Marc15:

On "The Originals," the Witch Queen of New Orleans is Davina Claire

2:41pm Caryn:

Hearing the possible song list, I want them to sing even more!

2:42pm bill me:

gee thanks tom (wah wah waaaah)

2:47pm Cecile:

pledge for Tommy Keene!

2:48pm Marie:

I love Steve Howe. Saw him live a few years ago. He and his band, which included his son, were great. "The Steve Howe Album" (1979) is wonderful.

2:49pm Caryn:

If I was being snarky, I'd comfort Joe B that surely Yo La Tengo will appreciate his live demonstration that the band can never be replaced, because the alternative performers would screw things up.

2:50pm andy the painter:

i think this band THE IN CROWD turned into TOMORROW, which did some good psychey garage

2:50pm Cecile:

yeah, my white bicycle is pretty classic.

2:52pm andy the painter:

right!

2:55pm Listener 108581:

love that tune Cecile.

2:58pm Caryn:

I gotta say "pledge or we'll do something entertaining and stupid" is not a good Marathon strategy. "Pledge and we'll do something entertaining and stupid" is much more successful.

6:29pm BadGuyZero:

BLERG! I slept too late and missed out on pledging during the show. *sadface* I'm pledging after the fact to help Joe reach his goal. If you're reading this you should pledge some money to his show too. DO IT!
