	9:07am Uncle Michael: I guess 1942 isn't pre-war...but it's pre-post-war.
	9:09am Joe McG: Morning, everyone! Some big band theory in effect to start today's show.

	9:14am Sem Chumbo: Thank for these memories, Joe. Good morning to you, and all.
	9:15am Ernest (NL): Getatchew Mekuria passed away today :-( www.theex.nl...

	9:18am Marcel M: ZING!
	9:18am MD: Good Morning my Brave and true First Amendmentists!!! That's a weird Greeting I must admit!
	9:18am Sean B.: Good morning Mr. McGasko. An envelope with your name on it should be there any time now. Great to spend a Mon morning with you.
	9:21am Marcel M: For doing the chocolate shake? Wtf? hahaha
	9:22am Marcel M: So THATS what Eve did exactly... no wonder. Story never made much sense to me without that anecdote.
	9:22am Ike: Sounds great!
	9:22am Polyus: The Chocolate Shake is like the forbidden dance, forget the lambada.
	9:24am Sean B.: I am a very proud owner of Monica's 2011 premium. Stellar. Looking forward to yours Joe. Anyhoo, just wanted to chime in to wish you good tidings.
	9:25am Polyus: Now love between cousins I am not so sure about.
	9:26am V Priceless: Just say Joe! Hey!
	9:28am Brendan: Say this is a swell joint. The band is cookin' , the dames are smokin' and the owner is tight with Claude Rains . Hey bartender...
	9:28am Andrew Waterloo: Seeing Mekuria with Ex is a very fond memory of mine as well Joe.
	9:29am annie: these tunez is the bee's knees!

	9:32am steveo: These musics are brightening my rainy Monday.
	9:33am Marcel M: Yeah, hard to be down with a set like that! Thanks Joe.
	9:33am Billy London: Great set of golden oldies!
	9:34am Cecile: He was married to Marilyn Monroe for a minute too, right?
	9:35am BrianFromMA: Who's the harpist? Is that one of Harpo Marx's records?
	9:39am Cecile: no, that was Ava Gardner
	9:42am ChrisB.: Scott Miller/Game Theory. My hero.
	9:43am Jeff Golick: Game Theory reminds me very specifically of my college radio experience. WBRU, circa '87-90. Simpler days, for sho.
	9:46am kevlicki: @joeMcg
	9:46am ChrisB.: Lolita Nation has been OOP for decades. Ironically, I found multiple sealed copies of the original for cheap abt the same time the reissue was released. But, reissue has many extra goodies.
	9:46am Cecile: hurray! Great song.
	9:46am Jeff Golick: (Hi, Joe, fellow listeners, Monday.)
	9:48am Joe McG: (Hey, Jeff and everybody!)
	9:48am kevlicki: Doh, my comment got cut off. I just wanted to say thank you, Gétatchèw Mèkurya, for sharing your gifts, Rise in Power!
	9:49am P-90: Greetings Joe and Surface Dwellers.
	9:50am Bryan Richard: This Chris Know song deserves to be a worldwide hit!
	9:51am Bryan Richard: KNOX darn autocorrect
	9:52am Cecile: mekurya died? that stinks
	9:56am testingwithfire: good morning, new to this show, really liking what I hear so far
	9:57am Cheri Pi: RIP Getachew Mekurya :(
	9:58am Cheri Pi: I like this new Prince Rama
	9:58am Cheri Pi: CECILE
	9:58am Cecile: how goes it?
	9:59am Cecile: this prince rama is strange. they should change their name to Collapsing New Krishna or something.
	9:59am Cheri Pi: Oh, it goes
	10:00am Polyus: Coke Aerobics
	10:00am Cecile: same here. Just have to get this...presentation...done...
	10:02am Billy London: DU!
	10:03am Bandit: :) , Knutschfleck = love bite
	10:04am Billy London: Thanks bandit!
	10:04am Cecile: Deustche Welle! We used to get that on cable access in English in the 90s! We'd see the top ten videos and it would be Backstreet Boys, N'Sync and a whole bunch of German language soul ballads set in bunkers with blood running down the walls or something. I think the host was named Ingo or Dieter or something.
	10:06am Stevel: TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY!!!!!
	10:06am Billy London: That sounds kinda amazing.
	10:06am Brendan: This is very satsisfyin
	10:07am Bandit: i d like to hear that in shopping mall
	10:07am Cecile: what if the Baja Marimba band covered Satisfaction when it came out? I think it would go a little something like this...
	10:08am Brendan: Satay faction
	10:09am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, all! Rainy days and Mondays, amirite?
	10:11am Brendan: StyleUs
	10:12am Marcel M: When yrite,yrite, Greg. Morning!
	10:12am JP from KC: Mornin' Y'all! Loving this Duane Eddy track!
	10:13am SeanG: LEE
	10:14am Billy London: Is I'm a man yes I am?
	10:15am Ear Hammer: This is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C
	10:16am JP from KC: Man, everything I hear off of this album is fire! Dig that Moroccan soul!
	10:16am Brendan: This is infectious and I don't want the cure!
	10:19am fred: Sad to read about Getatchew's passing. Not surprising though, I was told last year that his health was declining, especially since he lost his wife
	10:20am Cecile: what year did it come out? Sounds like early 70s
	10:22am JP from KC: Buster Brown sounds like a combination of Bob Seeger and Rod Stewart.
	10:23am sphere: Buster Brown sounds just like something from 1974 or so. How uncanny.
	10:23am Cecile: I was going to say Mott and the Faces. Same thing.
	10:23am BrianFromMA: I was thinking Steppenwolf for some reason...
	10:23am SeanG: killin' it!
	10:24am Marcel M: Just love the lyrics to this song. Reminds me of Master and Margarita.
	10:25am Jeff Golick: There's a new Habibi Funk record coming, which is extremely great news: habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com...
	10:26am Marcel M: Also Melmoth The Wanderer
	10:28am BennettCap: My guitar has no idea of what I'm about to do to it. Thanks Joe!
	10:30am Cecile: AHA! Angry was in Rose Tattoo!
	10:33am Cecile: they do!
	10:36am lloyd michigan: This show is the only good thing about Monday mornings.
	10:37am Cecile: what a singer Ben Orr was
	10:37am Cecile: Th' Quo!
	10:37am Uncle Michael: QUO!!!!
	10:37am Joe McG: Thanks, lloyd, that's swell of you to say!
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Quo is one of those great one-trick-pony bands like The Ramones or AC/DC...one trick...that kicks ass.
	10:39am βrian: I always associate The Cars with Chemistry Lab, titrating to produce some precipitate.
	10:39am BrianFromMA: Oooh...I can still remember where I was when I first heard Just What I Needed, in my car in the parking lot at the Amity Pharmacy in Cheshire, CT. Saw the Cars open for Bob Seger and get booed off stage. Three months later, same arena, they headlined and everyone was going crazy. Ridiculous...
	10:40am Cecile: three for three, Joe!
	10:41am βrian: I half expected to hear Gato Barbieri this morning.
	10:42am Guido from Cologne: Ha! Just yesterday I saw the Wrecking Crew doc and learned this was the very first herb Alpert hit and his band actually were the Wrecking Crew. The Tijuana Brass was a fictional moniker.
	10:42am Brendan: The Cars were not a pedestrian band.
	10:42am BrianFromMA: Still waiting for Gato and Herb to do a duet album...
	10:42am Cecile: oh, no not gato
	10:42am Joe McG: @Brian: You may yet!
	10:43am Cecile: dammit.
	10:44am Jeff: This is so funny - it's never before this even occurred to me that there might have been singles pressed of "The Lonely Bull" - it's just indelibly imprinted in my mind as a track from that 12-inch album.
	10:45am Mike Sin: Happy to be back listening live today!
	10:45am Joe McG: @Jeff: This is a pretty early A&M single: It's biege and it says "1005" (probably the label's 5th single).
	10:47am P-90: This is SO 1974
	10:47am Greg from ZONE 5: Marc Maron had Herb Alpert on recently—interesting conversation.
	10:48am Cecile: it was a big hit on the radio and charts. I think everyone had a Tijuana Brass record back then. Alpert's an interesting guy.
	10:48am P-90: Ray Charles meets Dobie Gray
	10:49am sphere: Just found out that Shuggie Otis is releasing a new album. Go figure.
	10:50am Jeff: Some TJB records are definitely among the stuff my Dad bought and played which I still enjoy.
	10:51am Jeff: So, Joe, which of today's singles was the picture disk? The Cars? I heard part of that mic break but pieces got drowned out by the dogfood microwaving.
	10:52am Ike: Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy
	10:53am Uncle Michael: The last new Shuggie disappointed me.
	10:53am Brendan: Sounds like there is going to be a cautionary message in this song
	10:53am Joe McG: @Jeff: Yes, the Cars! Has a fancy car on it.
	10:53am Joe McG: @Brendan: Seems to be an argument for promiscuity!
	10:54am Cecile: Is this the Journey Jonathan Cain?
	10:54am Billy London: But why!
	10:54am Cecile: wow a record on the Smothers Brothers label!
	10:54am Brendan: Wait why the hell did she buy her linen?
	10:54am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yup!
	10:54am Guido from Cologne: The Lonely Bull was the first A&M-single, very first pressings must exist under original label name Carnival Records. (I just checked wikipedia)
	10:55am Joe McG: Wow, Guido, thanks for the info! I wonder why they started at 1005?
	10:56am icecreamwolf: Wait, NINE tequilas??
	10:56am Cecile: this is actually kind of listenable in an Elton John being playful kind of way
	10:56am Jeff: @Joe: cool. It sounded just fine despite the mixed vinyls!
	10:56am Joe McG: @wolf: That's A LOT of tequila!
	10:57am Cecile: bass player is all that
	10:57am Billy London: It's old ladies night
	10:58am Cecile: YES
	10:58am Joe McG: Ha ha, this Bush Tetras record is a nice rebuttal to the creep on "Ladies' Night"!
	10:58am icecreamwolf: Ha ha, this song is a nice commentary about the previous two songs!! Too many creeps indeed
	10:59am Billy London: Feels like it inspired "cool thing"
	10:59am mary: Too Many Creeps out on the street NYC 040416!
	11:00am terribilia: that bass
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, how're you diddling?
	11:01am mary: Pat! that bass!
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: A&M one of the great independents, bit behind here.
	11:03am will: Too many crepes
	11:04am icecreamwolf: @joe: ha ha jinx!!
	11:04am Cliff: will: Too many eggs, I had to use them up
	11:05am icecreamwolf: @will: is there such a thing? Crepes >>>> creeps
	11:09am βrian: 9:45? People stay up that late?
	11:11am MD: Dr. Oblivion has a Daughter?!?!?
	11:11am Polyus: I don't suppose there is any chance of a special guest appearance when Sex & Broadcasting comes to Mpls in June.
	11:12am Cecile: that's what I was thinking, Poly! What day in June?
	11:12am steveo: @βrian, I was thinking the same thing. I saw the 4:30 showing yesterday, though; it was interesting and good. Of course to fully capture the awesomeness of WFMU it would have had to have been a week-long movie, depicting each of the shows in their entirety (plus the web shows). ;)
	11:12am Greg from ZONE 5: Bummer.
	11:13am Polyus: @Cecile - June 8, I believe. Not even on the Trylon website as of last Friday though.
	11:14am Cecile: Cool. I haven't been to the Trylon before, I'll have to do a recon expedition.
	11:14am MD: THE X....I think I am Going to name my next band THE Led Zeppelin!!! I just had to get that off my chest....!!!
	👻 11:14am Brian in UK: Joe, saw him with Mulatu Astatke some years ago. What a wealth of Ethiopian jazz. A sad day.
	11:15am Polyus: It is pretty cool, but small. 50 seats.
	11:15am MD: I'm Becoming a Cranky old Man...OK!!!! SORRY!
	11:16am Greg from ZONE 5: One of my most favoritist bands ever. I missed the Lincoln Center show but I remember listening to the live stream at work…
	11:16am Joe McG: @MD: No problem, I was there way before you!
	👻 11:17am Brian in UK: Cranky and Freeform do not equate, Captain.
	11:18am Joe McG: By the way, everyone, seeing Greg on the comments board reminds me that we saw "Battleship Potemkin" at FMU on Saturday and it was great. If you get the chance, go check out Morricone Youth play a live soundtrack!
	11:18am Marc Francis: Hot damn. I wish I had a time machine.
	11:19am Marc Francis: I would love to be at this show.
	11:20am Uncle Michael: That was amazing.
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: Would it be fair to say that The Ex play their music feverishly.
	11:22am βrian: Ah, there we go.
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Joe ain't lying! Easily one of the most mind-blowing things I've seen at Monty Hall.
	11:24am Joe McG: And Greg's seen a lot of stuff at Monty Hall, right, Greg?
	11:26am Greg from ZONE 5: Everything except HONK 1.
	11:26am Marcel M: Yeah it was really really good. I was entranced the whole time.
	11:26am Michael in Seattle: Thank you for this Barbieri track.
	11:27am Joe McG: @Greg: Unfortunately, HONK 1 was the BEST THING I'VE EVER BEEN TO!
	11:28am Cecile: this is a great track! Thank you joe.
	11:28am Parq: Loved how, in yesterday's Good Grey obit, they helpfully explained that Gato "means 'cat'". They didn't specifically add "in Spanish". I hope that doesn't confuse readers into thinking that Gato means cat in Brazilian.
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: HOOOOOOONK!!! <shaking fist> Occasionally I'd lock in on the band, but nothing was more satisfying than when you'd get pulled into the movie and forget that the band was even there. Sort of a bizarro live music experience.
	11:29am Marcel M: Or at least, any more than confusing people here that Brazilian is a language? -)
	11:29am Marcel M: ;-)
	11:30am βrian: He was Argentinian, no? Unrelated but, oddly, related: www.metmuseum.org...
	11:33am Greg from ZONE 5: I once drunkenly referred to somebody "speaking Austrian" at a party. I'm still embarrassed.
	11:34am Marcel M: @Greg/Parq: I said Brazilian until I became very close with a Brazilian dude. It happens!
	11:34am Dean: You meant Australian, right, Greg?
	11:34am βrian: @Dean: you beat me to it.
	11:37am Parq: You guys know the old political joke -- an aide reports to Bush that two Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. Bush says, "That's horrible -- how many is a brazilian"?
	11:38am ChrisB.: @Parq: No, but, HA!
	11:38am Joe McG: @Parq: Ha ha!
	11:39am Dean: Didn't know that one, Parq! How charitable of you to characterize it as a "political" joke.
	11:39am Cecile: thunderclap!
	11:39am Cecile: that album is all good
	11:40am ChrisB.: Joe, you may have to create a segment of the show called "The Passing Parade."
	11:41am V Priceless: yeah, T-clap...nice
	11:41am Parq: Dean -- well, of course, Republicans immediately repurposed it as a Clinton joke.
	11:41am ChrisB.: Doesn't Pete Townsend play bass on this record?
	11:41am Cecile: I know he produced it
	11:42am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Yeah, The Croaked Corner.
	11:42am Marcel M: @Parq: hahahah, thats great.
	11:42am Parq: Really, it's actually pretty adaptable. EG -- an aide approaches Osama Bin Laden and says, "Glorious news, oh mighty righteous one; two Brazilian soldiers --- "
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: Wilomena is plump and round, plump and round. Now Joe that is almost a slow polka care of Andy Newman.
	11:45am northguineahills: Crap, had no idea Gato Barbieri died.
	11:47am Kelly Jones: Good morning to my favorite Monday Morning Suicide Prevention Program.
	11:49am Joe McG: Hi, Kelly! I'm not so sure I am, after playing that "Accidents" song! :)
	11:49am suea: But IS he to blame???!!! i need to know. I have invested too much time in that song to not know.
	11:49am Dean: A meta-joke: That Brazilian joke is funny when it's about Bush, but NOT when it's about Clinton!
	11:51am Joe McG: @suea: Life's just a game, fly your paper plane! :)
	11:54am βrian: @Dean: Yes, because it's implausible.
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great week!
	11:56am ?: Oh yes.. Paddy Macaloon! sounds beautiful :)
	11:56am V Priceless: thanx Joe!
	11:56am Sem Chumbo: Thx, Joe, for another fun show. See you later.
	11:56am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Joe! This song is weird!
	11:56am Cecile: you, too, Joe!
	11:57am βrian: Noon already? That's unpossible!
	11:57am P-90: Thanks, DJ Joe McG
	11:58am Kelly Jones: I love "We Let the Stars Go"... I can't figure out if you're being ironic. My love for it is NOT ironic.

	9:06am Uncle Michael: Do we get an all pre-war show, Joe? Because that would be EXCELLENT.
	9:07am Uncle Michael: I guess 1942 isn't pre-war...but it's pre-post-war.
	9:09am Joe McG: Morning, everyone! Some big band theory in effect to start today's show.

	9:15am Ernest (NL): Getatchew Mekuria passed away today :-( www.theex.nl...

	9:18am Marcel M: ZING!
	9:18am MD: Good Morning my Brave and true First Amendmentists!!! That's a weird Greeting I must admit!
	9:18am Sean B.: Good morning Mr. McGasko. An envelope with your name on it should be there any time now. Great to spend a Mon morning with you.
	9:21am Marcel M: For doing the chocolate shake? Wtf? hahaha
	9:22am Marcel M: So THATS what Eve did exactly... no wonder. Story never made much sense to me without that anecdote.
	9:22am Ike: Sounds great!
	9:22am Polyus: The Chocolate Shake is like the forbidden dance, forget the lambada.
	9:24am Sean B.: I am a very proud owner of Monica's 2011 premium. Stellar. Looking forward to yours Joe. Anyhoo, just wanted to chime in to wish you good tidings.
	9:25am Polyus: Now love between cousins I am not so sure about.
	9:26am V Priceless: Just say Joe! Hey!
	9:28am Brendan: Say this is a swell joint. The band is cookin' , the dames are smokin' and the owner is tight with Claude Rains . Hey bartender...
	9:28am Andrew Waterloo: Seeing Mekuria with Ex is a very fond memory of mine as well Joe.

	9:33am Billy London: Great set of golden oldies!
	9:34am Cecile: He was married to Marilyn Monroe for a minute too, right?
	9:35am BrianFromMA: Who's the harpist? Is that one of Harpo Marx's records?
	9:39am Cecile: no, that was Ava Gardner
	9:42am ChrisB.: Scott Miller/Game Theory. My hero.
	9:43am Jeff Golick: Game Theory reminds me very specifically of my college radio experience. WBRU, circa '87-90. Simpler days, for sho.
	9:46am kevlicki: @joeMcg
	9:46am ChrisB.: Lolita Nation has been OOP for decades. Ironically, I found multiple sealed copies of the original for cheap abt the same time the reissue was released. But, reissue has many extra goodies.
	9:46am Cecile: hurray! Great song.
	9:46am Jeff Golick: (Hi, Joe, fellow listeners, Monday.)
	9:48am Joe McG: (Hey, Jeff and everybody!)
	9:48am kevlicki: Doh, my comment got cut off. I just wanted to say thank you, Gétatchèw Mèkurya, for sharing your gifts, Rise in Power!
	9:49am P-90: Greetings Joe and Surface Dwellers.
	9:50am Bryan Richard: This Chris Know song deserves to be a worldwide hit!

	9:58am Cheri Pi: I like this new Prince Rama
	9:58am Cheri Pi: CECILE
	9:58am Cecile: how goes it?
	9:59am Cecile: this prince rama is strange. they should change their name to Collapsing New Krishna or something.
	9:59am Cheri Pi: Oh, it goes
	10:00am Polyus: Coke Aerobics
	10:00am Cecile: same here. Just have to get this...presentation...done...
	10:02am Billy London: DU!
	10:03am Bandit: :) , Knutschfleck = love bite
	10:04am Billy London: Thanks bandit!
	10:04am Cecile: Deustche Welle! We used to get that on cable access in English in the 90s! We'd see the top ten videos and it would be Backstreet Boys, N'Sync and a whole bunch of German language soul ballads set in bunkers with blood running down the walls or something. I think the host was named Ingo or Dieter or something.
	10:06am Stevel: TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY!!!!!
	10:06am Billy London: That sounds kinda amazing.
	10:06am Brendan: This is very satsisfyin
	10:07am Bandit: i d like to hear that in shopping mall
	10:07am Cecile: what if the Baja Marimba band covered Satisfaction when it came out? I think it would go a little something like this...
	10:08am Brendan: Satay faction
	10:09am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, all! Rainy days and Mondays, amirite?
	10:11am Brendan: StyleUs
	10:12am Marcel M: When yrite,yrite, Greg. Morning!
	10:12am JP from KC: Mornin' Y'all! Loving this Duane Eddy track!
	10:13am SeanG: LEE
	10:14am Billy London: Is I'm a man yes I am?
	10:15am Ear Hammer: This is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C
	10:16am JP from KC: Man, everything I hear off of this album is fire! Dig that Moroccan soul!
	10:16am Brendan: This is infectious and I don't want the cure!
	10:19am fred: Sad to read about Getatchew's passing. Not surprising though, I was told last year that his health was declining, especially since he lost his wife
	10:20am Cecile: what year did it come out? Sounds like early 70s
	10:22am JP from KC: Buster Brown sounds like a combination of Bob Seeger and Rod Stewart.
	10:23am sphere: Buster Brown sounds just like something from 1974 or so. How uncanny.
	10:23am Cecile: I was going to say Mott and the Faces. Same thing.
	10:23am BrianFromMA: I was thinking Steppenwolf for some reason...
	10:23am SeanG: killin' it!
	10:24am Marcel M: Just love the lyrics to this song. Reminds me of Master and Margarita.
	10:25am Jeff Golick: There's a new Habibi Funk record coming, which is extremely great news: habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com...
	10:26am Marcel M: Also Melmoth The Wanderer
	10:28am BennettCap: My guitar has no idea of what I'm about to do to it. Thanks Joe!
	10:30am Cecile: AHA! Angry was in Rose Tattoo!
	10:33am Cecile: they do!
	10:36am lloyd michigan: This show is the only good thing about Monday mornings.
	10:37am Cecile: what a singer Ben Orr was
	10:37am Cecile: Th' Quo!
	10:37am Uncle Michael: QUO!!!!
	10:37am Joe McG: Thanks, lloyd, that's swell of you to say!
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Quo is one of those great one-trick-pony bands like The Ramones or AC/DC...one trick...that kicks ass.
	10:39am βrian: I always associate The Cars with Chemistry Lab, titrating to produce some precipitate.
	10:39am BrianFromMA: Oooh...I can still remember where I was when I first heard Just What I Needed, in my car in the parking lot at the Amity Pharmacy in Cheshire, CT. Saw the Cars open for Bob Seger and get booed off stage. Three months later, same arena, they headlined and everyone was going crazy. Ridiculous...
	10:40am Cecile: three for three, Joe!
	10:41am βrian: I half expected to hear Gato Barbieri this morning.
	10:42am Guido from Cologne: Ha! Just yesterday I saw the Wrecking Crew doc and learned this was the very first herb Alpert hit and his band actually were the Wrecking Crew. The Tijuana Brass was a fictional moniker.
	10:42am Brendan: The Cars were not a pedestrian band.
	10:42am BrianFromMA: Still waiting for Gato and Herb to do a duet album...
	10:42am Cecile: oh, no not gato
	10:42am Joe McG: @Brian: You may yet!
	10:43am Cecile: dammit.
	10:44am Jeff: This is so funny - it's never before this even occurred to me that there might have been singles pressed of "The Lonely Bull" - it's just indelibly imprinted in my mind as a track from that 12-inch album.
	10:45am Mike Sin: Happy to be back listening live today!
	10:45am Joe McG: @Jeff: This is a pretty early A&M single: It's biege and it says "1005" (probably the label's 5th single).
	10:47am P-90: This is SO 1974
	10:47am Greg from ZONE 5: Marc Maron had Herb Alpert on recently—interesting conversation.
	10:48am Cecile: it was a big hit on the radio and charts. I think everyone had a Tijuana Brass record back then. Alpert's an interesting guy.
	10:48am P-90: Ray Charles meets Dobie Gray
	10:49am sphere: Just found out that Shuggie Otis is releasing a new album. Go figure.
	10:50am Jeff: Some TJB records are definitely among the stuff my Dad bought and played which I still enjoy.
	10:51am Jeff: So, Joe, which of today's singles was the picture disk? The Cars? I heard part of that mic break but pieces got drowned out by the dogfood microwaving.
	10:52am Ike: Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy
	10:53am Uncle Michael: The last new Shuggie disappointed me.
	10:53am Brendan: Sounds like there is going to be a cautionary message in this song
	10:53am Joe McG: @Jeff: Yes, the Cars! Has a fancy car on it.
	10:53am Joe McG: @Brendan: Seems to be an argument for promiscuity!
	10:54am Cecile: Is this the Journey Jonathan Cain?
	10:54am Billy London: But why!
	10:54am Cecile: wow a record on the Smothers Brothers label!
	10:54am Brendan: Wait why the hell did she buy her linen?
	10:54am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yup!
	10:54am Guido from Cologne: The Lonely Bull was the first A&M-single, very first pressings must exist under original label name Carnival Records. (I just checked wikipedia)
	10:55am Joe McG: Wow, Guido, thanks for the info! I wonder why they started at 1005?
	10:56am icecreamwolf: Wait, NINE tequilas??
	10:56am Cecile: this is actually kind of listenable in an Elton John being playful kind of way
	10:56am Jeff: @Joe: cool. It sounded just fine despite the mixed vinyls!
	10:56am Joe McG: @wolf: That's A LOT of tequila!
	10:57am Cecile: bass player is all that
	10:57am Billy London: It's old ladies night
	10:58am Cecile: YES
	10:58am Joe McG: Ha ha, this Bush Tetras record is a nice rebuttal to the creep on "Ladies' Night"!
	10:58am icecreamwolf: Ha ha, this song is a nice commentary about the previous two songs!! Too many creeps indeed
	10:59am Billy London: Feels like it inspired "cool thing"
	10:59am mary: Too Many Creeps out on the street NYC 040416!
	11:00am terribilia: that bass
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, how're you diddling?
	11:01am mary: Pat! that bass!
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: A&M one of the great independents, bit behind here.
	11:03am will: Too many crepes
	11:04am icecreamwolf: @joe: ha ha jinx!!
	11:04am Cliff: will: Too many eggs, I had to use them up
	11:05am icecreamwolf: @will: is there such a thing? Crepes >>>> creeps
	11:09am βrian: 9:45? People stay up that late?
	11:11am MD: Dr. Oblivion has a Daughter?!?!?
	11:11am Polyus: I don't suppose there is any chance of a special guest appearance when Sex & Broadcasting comes to Mpls in June.
	11:12am Cecile: that's what I was thinking, Poly! What day in June?
	11:12am steveo: @βrian, I was thinking the same thing. I saw the 4:30 showing yesterday, though; it was interesting and good. Of course to fully capture the awesomeness of WFMU it would have had to have been a week-long movie, depicting each of the shows in their entirety (plus the web shows). ;)
	11:12am Greg from ZONE 5: Bummer.
	11:13am Polyus: @Cecile - June 8, I believe. Not even on the Trylon website as of last Friday though.
	11:14am Cecile: Cool. I haven't been to the Trylon before, I'll have to do a recon expedition.
	11:14am MD: THE X....I think I am Going to name my next band THE Led Zeppelin!!! I just had to get that off my chest....!!!
	👻 11:14am Brian in UK: Joe, saw him with Mulatu Astatke some years ago. What a wealth of Ethiopian jazz. A sad day.
	11:15am Polyus: It is pretty cool, but small. 50 seats.
	11:15am MD: I'm Becoming a Cranky old Man...OK!!!! SORRY!
	11:16am Greg from ZONE 5: One of my most favoritist bands ever. I missed the Lincoln Center show but I remember listening to the live stream at work…
	11:16am Joe McG: @MD: No problem, I was there way before you!
	👻 11:17am Brian in UK: Cranky and Freeform do not equate, Captain.
	11:18am Joe McG: By the way, everyone, seeing Greg on the comments board reminds me that we saw "Battleship Potemkin" at FMU on Saturday and it was great. If you get the chance, go check out Morricone Youth play a live soundtrack!
	11:18am Marc Francis: Hot damn. I wish I had a time machine.
	11:19am Marc Francis: I would love to be at this show.
	11:20am Uncle Michael: That was amazing.
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: Would it be fair to say that The Ex play their music feverishly.
	11:22am βrian: Ah, there we go.
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Joe ain't lying! Easily one of the most mind-blowing things I've seen at Monty Hall.
	11:24am Joe McG: And Greg's seen a lot of stuff at Monty Hall, right, Greg?
	11:26am Greg from ZONE 5: Everything except HONK 1.
	11:26am Marcel M: Yeah it was really really good. I was entranced the whole time.
	11:26am Michael in Seattle: Thank you for this Barbieri track.
	11:27am Joe McG: @Greg: Unfortunately, HONK 1 was the BEST THING I'VE EVER BEEN TO!
	11:28am Cecile: this is a great track! Thank you joe.
	11:28am Parq: Loved how, in yesterday's Good Grey obit, they helpfully explained that Gato "means 'cat'". They didn't specifically add "in Spanish". I hope that doesn't confuse readers into thinking that Gato means cat in Brazilian.
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: HOOOOOOONK!!! <shaking fist> Occasionally I'd lock in on the band, but nothing was more satisfying than when you'd get pulled into the movie and forget that the band was even there. Sort of a bizarro live music experience.
	11:29am Marcel M: Or at least, any more than confusing people here that Brazilian is a language? -)
	11:29am Marcel M: ;-)
	11:30am βrian: He was Argentinian, no? Unrelated but, oddly, related: www.metmuseum.org...
	11:33am Greg from ZONE 5: I once drunkenly referred to somebody "speaking Austrian" at a party. I'm still embarrassed.
	11:34am Marcel M: @Greg/Parq: I said Brazilian until I became very close with a Brazilian dude. It happens!
	11:34am Dean: You meant Australian, right, Greg?
	11:34am βrian: @Dean: you beat me to it.
	11:37am Parq: You guys know the old political joke -- an aide reports to Bush that two Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. Bush says, "That's horrible -- how many is a brazilian"?
	11:38am ChrisB.: @Parq: No, but, HA!
	11:38am Joe McG: @Parq: Ha ha!
	11:39am Dean: Didn't know that one, Parq! How charitable of you to characterize it as a "political" joke.
	11:39am Cecile: thunderclap!
	11:39am Cecile: that album is all good
	11:40am ChrisB.: Joe, you may have to create a segment of the show called "The Passing Parade."
	11:41am V Priceless: yeah, T-clap...nice
	11:41am Parq: Dean -- well, of course, Republicans immediately repurposed it as a Clinton joke.
	11:41am ChrisB.: Doesn't Pete Townsend play bass on this record?
	11:41am Cecile: I know he produced it
	11:42am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Yeah, The Croaked Corner.
	11:42am Marcel M: @Parq: hahahah, thats great.
	11:42am Parq: Really, it's actually pretty adaptable. EG -- an aide approaches Osama Bin Laden and says, "Glorious news, oh mighty righteous one; two Brazilian soldiers --- "
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: Wilomena is plump and round, plump and round. Now Joe that is almost a slow polka care of Andy Newman.
	11:45am northguineahills: Crap, had no idea Gato Barbieri died.
	11:47am Kelly Jones: Good morning to my favorite Monday Morning Suicide Prevention Program.
	11:49am Joe McG: Hi, Kelly! I'm not so sure I am, after playing that "Accidents" song! :)
	11:49am suea: But IS he to blame???!!! i need to know. I have invested too much time in that song to not know.
	11:49am Dean: A meta-joke: That Brazilian joke is funny when it's about Bush, but NOT when it's about Clinton!
	11:51am Joe McG: @suea: Life's just a game, fly your paper plane! :)
	11:54am βrian: @Dean: Yes, because it's implausible.
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great week!
	11:56am ?: Oh yes.. Paddy Macaloon! sounds beautiful :)
	11:56am V Priceless: thanx Joe!
	11:56am Sem Chumbo: Thx, Joe, for another fun show. See you later.
	11:56am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Joe! This song is weird!
	11:56am Cecile: you, too, Joe!
	11:57am βrian: Noon already? That's unpossible!
	11:57am P-90: Thanks, DJ Joe McG
	11:58am Kelly Jones: I love "We Let the Stars Go"... I can't figure out if you're being ironic. My love for it is NOT ironic.
