	9:44am seedfriend: You go! Life is too short. More harp.
	9:45am melinda: Love Alice's Restaurant.
	9:47am EzSezz: Alice's Restaurant is a great movie. Much sadder and darker view of 60s than song suggests.

	9:56am Joe McG: I have to re-see "Alice's Restaurant"! Congrats on the art teaching gig, Butterman! Congrats, Brian. Hi, all!
	👻 10:00am Brian in UK: Don't you love those flat English vocals.
	10:00am Joe McG: Hey Alex and chresti, up very early on the west coast!
	10:00am tak: nice.
	👻 10:00am Hughie Considine: I wonder if the singer from Art Brut speak-sings his way through non-musical life. Morning, Joe!
	10:00am The Butterman: True that Karen!
	10:01am fred: I still have a "popular culture no longer applies to me" Art Brut T-shirt

	👻 10:05am Brian in UK: Joe, are you following with Happy Mondays?
	10:05am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha, wish I'd thought of it!
	10:06am Bill W: Every time I hear Art Brut, I have a vision of the singer's hilariously bad mustache (when he had one).
	10:06am annie: are you having story time today? have any clint eastwood reading anyhing? os even singing?
	10:07am Joe McG: @annie: No Story Corner today, maybe next week! :)

	10:15am Bill W: I am now going to make pancakes, a Surface Noise first for me.
	10:16am Joe McG: @Bill: A noble endeavor.
	10:18am RobinSays: I love Haircut One Hundred! Thanx for playing them:) I wish they'd get back together and tour.
	10:20am Joe McG: @RobinSays: I can't imagine! I would go for sure.
	10:23am RobinSays: I love HOH's musicality and the sunniness of their songs. I always feel like dancing when I hear them:)
	10:25am tripod: Joe, you’re making my workday. Thanks!
	10:26am Rob W: Apologies for a long (and late-reaction) post: But speaking of the "Alice's" reissue: Curious how the epic "Alice’s Restaurant Massacree" became a Thanksgiving radio tradition, I stumbled upon a funny and rather WFMU-relatable story: "…the song’s first true breakthrough… was ‘Alice’s’ Feb 1967 radio debut on WBAI. Said Arlo: ‘I’d been a big fan of WBAI... one night (long before the album was released) they asked me to perform live. I had no idea they were taping it, although it wouldn’t have stopped me from performing. I loved those guys.’" By May, WBAI was receiving so many requests to play ‘Alice,’ it became a fund-raising gimmick. ‘WBAI… would play it after they’d been pledged enough money... Eventually they were playing it so often, they took pledges to STOP playing it, and…raised even more money.'”(Source: tiny.cc...). Needless to say the Thanksgiving spin of "Massacree" is NOT a WFMU tradition... but WFUV still plays it every Thanksgiving. As do various other stations (mostly on the east coast of the US with a few exceptions).
	10:35am fleep: Single up!
	10:36am Joe McG: Great story, Rob, thanks! @tripod: Sorry you have to work, but glad I can help a little.
	10:39am melinda: @Rib interesting history
	👻 10:39am tadpoles: #Rob...WKZE out of Red Hook still plays it twice on Thanksgiving!! Nice to hear Paul McMahon Joe....a talented local lad...he's excellent at improv. songwriting.
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: Early Robert Palmer backed by Little Feat on records was tops.
	10:41am Joe McG: WMMR in Philadelphia used to do the "Alice's Restaurant" thing, too, but I don't know if they still do. Or if they still exist as a rock station, actually.
	10:44am SeanG: hiya Joe! always liked Art Brut, great live band
	10:46am Joe McG: @SeanG: I remember seeing them and having a great time!
	👻 10:47am Brian in UK: Joe, this is not Recess!!!
	10:50am melinda: Fun singles.
	10:50am Joe McG: @Brian: Sure it is! :)
	10:50am Malcolm: i love you candi
	👻 10:51am Brian in UK: Oh I forgot, all day recess.
	10:52am Bill W: I remember that "Alice's Restaurant" was the first film I ever saw at the Museum of Modern Art. I won't say what year, but Jimmy Carter was president.
	10:55am johnk77: great show selecter saw muddy waters blues band in the sculpture garden of moma
	10:57am Joe McG: Thanks, melinda, johnk. @jk77: Wow! Muddy and Rodin all in one place.
	👻 10:57am Brian in UK: Don't forget the pickle.
	👻 10:59am Hughie Considine: I feel like a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford saying this, but this may be more warped than I can handle.
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: EJ sounds a bit like Jackson Browne.
	11:01am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Daaamn, ain't heard this one in ages
	11:01am djsheilab: You are playing my all-time favorite Elton John song. HEAVEN.
	11:01am tak: this is what i answer my phone to sometimes
	11:01am Joe McG: @Hughie: Ha ha ha
	11:01am coelacanth∅: Rob (@10.26) Stashu played alice's restaurant for thanksgiving a year or 2 ago. she said it was the first time she'd ever heard the whole song. it was fun to listen to it together and getting her reaction to it as her first time. (i'd also not heard it for a decade or 2)
	11:01am Joe McG: @Sheila: In 1982, this song used to make me cry!
	11:02am morphe': Elton lookin'g like my Hasid cousins.... Too Kool for School Met a lovely Hasid once at the bust stop while squatting in Stoke Newington (NW London). I was quite ever so happy - 2 Bklyn Jews meeting in North London via A'dam..
	👻 11:03am Brian in UK: Joe, was that the remix?
	11:03am johnk77: hard to overstate how hip geffen records was in 1982
	11:04am Rob W & Katie: EAS update: Joe, you nailed it! We knew you would.
	11:04am morphe': ps Hasid reunion at the Stoke Newington bus stop = 1987

	👻 11:18am Brian in UK: Joe, are you going to see Kevin Morby tomorrow?
	11:19am prudy: hey guys, where is the new schedule posted? Can't find it!
	11:20am Joe McG: @Brian: I may drop in! I saw him last time he played here and he was very good. I was going to say "Whoops, I should've announced that," but it's sold out.
	11:20am Joe McG: @prudy: We'll try to get it up on the home page in the next day or so.
	11:21am TicklePolyester: Loving this set. Thanks, Joe!
	11:21am prudy: sorry, it sounded like it had been made public...

	11:45am Dean: Not high school, but Oakland Elementary School Arkestra has three CDs.
	11:46am Roberto: Ex-DJ Charlie played a fair amount of high school band recordings way back when. I couldn't get enough of them.

Oh! And the day laborers a few blocks away that are always out there rain or shine.
	11:47am Joe McG: No, Jake, they were from a black high school, made about 4-5 records. They even made a documentary about them. Killing me that I can't remember.

	11:51am cronbat: Yes, Kashmere from H-town!
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Joe, how do you get inside your front door for records?
	11:52am JakeGould: And here is the Discogs page for the 2011 comp for anyone who cares. www.discogs.com...
	11:53am Joe McG: @Brian: Funny you should say that, I just made a pile of records I want to sell by my door last night!
	11:56am morphe': Brian UK: Fresh fish in Madrid???? I am from many Islands.. BKLYN, Ireland, T&T, Jamaica, Cuba .. I take the train every Thursday(almost) to swim and eat in Valencia, Bilbao or Alicante... FRESH FISH (FYI - never eat a BKLYN WHITE FISH - was our code language for a condom in the Narrows..)

	👻 10:00am Hughie Considine: I wonder if the singer from Art Brut speak-sings his way through non-musical life. Morning, Joe!

	10:20am Joe McG: @RobinSays: I can't imagine! I would go for sure.
	10:23am RobinSays: I love HOH's musicality and the sunniness of their songs. I always feel like dancing when I hear them:)
	10:25am tripod: Joe, you’re making my workday. Thanks!
	10:26am Rob W: Apologies for a long (and late-reaction) post: But speaking of the "Alice's" reissue: Curious how the epic "Alice’s Restaurant Massacree" became a Thanksgiving radio tradition, I stumbled upon a funny and rather WFMU-relatable story: "…the song’s first true breakthrough… was ‘Alice’s’ Feb 1967 radio debut on WBAI. Said Arlo: ‘I’d been a big fan of WBAI... one night (long before the album was released) they asked me to perform live. I had no idea they were taping it, although it wouldn’t have stopped me from performing. I loved those guys.’" By May, WBAI was receiving so many requests to play ‘Alice,’ it became a fund-raising gimmick. ‘WBAI… would play it after they’d been pledged enough money... Eventually they were playing it so often, they took pledges to STOP playing it, and…raised even more money.'”(Source: tiny.cc...). Needless to say the Thanksgiving spin of "Massacree" is NOT a WFMU tradition... but WFUV still plays it every Thanksgiving. As do various other stations (mostly on the east coast of the US with a few exceptions).
	10:35am fleep: Single up!

	10:41am Joe McG: WMMR in Philadelphia used to do the "Alice's Restaurant" thing, too, but I don't know if they still do. Or if they still exist as a rock station, actually.
