	11:10am Listener Baby: Baby. Sounding like aces! That dashboard is flyin' high. Who needs a traffic filled drive to Jersey City?
	11:10am testingwithfire: @Pedro what was the show with Sharon van Etten? Want to dig up the archive!
	11:10am TDK60: Good morning, almost never get a chance to be here now. (But a guy told me the other day, I should be here now..)
	11:11am Ciggy: Hit me with #1 Hits
	11:11am Pedro in Arlington: @testingwithfire The NJ4NJ show: youtu.be...
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Not quite lemon season in Michigan, right, Corey?
	11:18am listener 126464: Firestone High!
	11:18am Corey: @Handy Yeah, lemon tree is still bare.
	11:20am Handy Haversack: OK, I am going to brave the outdoors and walk Kate and the dog to the park so they can begin their run. Back in 20 or so!
	11:20am Cooh John: Is Dan Auerbach from Akron? "Rubber Factory" BK's first album, correct?
	11:20am johnk77: nice show i think air in akron better these days than sixties/seventies
	11:21am StringOFperils: Haven't heard this Bobby Russell record since....1971-ish...? Jeebus!
	11:23am StringOFperils: Holy crap!
	11:23am Frank In Queens: Guitar Domination is a good name for a metal band.
	11:25am Jett: I remember going to my friend's house at that time and he had The Fool Around album by Rachel Sweet, he also had Stateless by Lene Lovich and many other Stiff albums from that period. He always used to play them when I would visit. This guy was starting to have some mental issues. One day a friend and I go to his house and he puts on Rachel Sweet, and his mother walks in and says no Stiff music anything but Stiff music, it's affecting him. I will never forget that.
	11:26am testingwithfire: Buzzing the cockles of our hearts here.
	11:26am Crei6hton: Morning!
	11:26am SmokinJ: Never underestimate the beautiful simplicity of mj & cold beer... Mornin' ms & all! 8-)
	11:26am egould310: Yessss! Buzzcocks. Been listening to them alot this week. Brilliant. Punky new wave power pop. Pop music. Amazing band.
	11:28am StringOFperils: @Jett.Maybe your friend was caught up in the last part of STIFF's slogan, emblazoned on the labels: If it it ain't STIFF, it ain't worth a F***.
	11:29am Frank In Queens: Marianne is a WINNER! Se beat COVID-19!
	11:29am Listener Baby: Marianne just kicked The 19!
	11:29am davefromtoronto: did/does anyone actually think she's good? wow...
	11:30am Michael Shelley: I do!
	11:31am davefromtoronto: you like her or you think she's good?
	11:32am testingwithfire: swinging to the Western oldies at the moment
	11:33am testingwithfire: and there's tons of berry foraging to be done where I am, if the rain would stop for an hour or so
	11:33am TDK60: Say it in "broken Canadian" Dave. Hee..
	11:34am StringOFperils: Stormin' dancefloor shaker. Wish I could turn this up as much as I'd like to.
	11:34am davefromtoronto: eh?
	11:34am Frank In Queens: I just bought Strange Brew on Blu-Ray!
	11:35am TDK60: never mind, too obscure a reference maybe.
	11:35am Jett: I just found it strange that his mother was blaming Stiff records for his mental issues, I felt it might be his excessive drug use.
	11:35am Goyim in the AM: Jenna Fischer has new podcast about the making of the Office -- Office Ladies -- that I suspect will provide many wonderful "Michael" soundbites in the coming months...
	11:36am testingwithfire: @Jett my parents had a similar (bad) take... in fact the music helped me get through high school.
	11:36am davefromtoronto: i won passes to the premiere of strange brew in toronto! remember it being funny in parts.
	11:37am paul: Countrier than Thou
	11:38am Jett: Discarded gloves and masks all over the place. I bring a garbage bag with me to discard mine in that.
	11:39am listener 126464: long branch?
	11:39am testingwithfire: Nick Lowe, author of Elvis Costello's best tune (ducks) ... headed over to Bandcamp now
	11:39am Frank In Queens: Hi-Risers are a must see!
	11:40am paul: Be sure to enter the discount code "20 percent" if ordering from Bandcamp.
	11:41am Listener Baby: @TDK60. I got it, for what it's worth. Good one!
	11:41am Hughie Considine: I guess the one-note concept held real currency at some point, thinking of "Johnny One-Note" and I'm sure others...
	11:41am juniper: @goyim- I love that podcast!! I'm half way through!
	11:42am GerryB: That was in Long Branch, Michael. White chapel Projects. Saw you and Juniper there. Great night of rock n roll.
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Bandcamp is waiving their fees on 5/1 so that artists can receive 100% of the sale. If you can wait a week to purchase new music, 5/1 would be a great day to spend some cash.
	11:43am Uncle Michael: Sounding great from home, Michael!
	11:43am Mike Sin: Michael - the show sounds great today! I’m amazed at how good so many of the WFMU DJs sound from their home studios. The effort and dedication is appreciated!
	11:44am clarke: thanks for being here brother - and associate!!
	11:45am Hughie Considine: I second the words of @Mike Sin!
	11:46am Queens L. Bow: Thanks for playing the original of "From Head to Toe." Elvis C. covered this in the '80s, it came out only as a single...but later was a bonus cut on "Imperial Bedroom."
	11:46am paul: Earle, dad gummit!
	11:47am TDK60: Steve Earle. I think he lives in NYC now. Or did..
	11:48am Jett: Paul McCartney plays tambourine on that Escorts single written by Smokey Robinson, "From Head To Toe."
	11:49am Jett: The original of "From Head To Toe" is by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.
	11:50am Michael Shelley: YES - seems that he engineered it too
	11:50am Squints: @Jett Not Bernard Purdie? 8^)
	11:51am Listener Baby: Jupe. Let us know, Baby. Say hello.
	11:52am clarke: was this one from The Great Album Car Trunk Find?
	11:52am TDK60: Dylan said he'd like to spend some time in Mozambique. But then again, he said he'd like to be on some Australian mountain range too.
	11:53am Matt Fiveash: Love this one! I think it was on one of those great double cd premiums of yours. Carry on...
	11:53am Jett: Purdie was a great drummer, but he didn't play the shuffle on that one. Lot's of James Brown stuff though.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: Dylan also said "People don't live or die/people just float" because he needed a rhyme with boat.
	11:54am Frank In Queens: Paul Bartel is dancing in his grave!
	11:54am DJ Guin: Gabba Gabba Hey!!
	11:55am clarke: in fact, hughie, dylan and co-writer were merely trying to find words that rhymed with Mozambique when they wrote that
	11:55am testingwithfire: yes, Joey. I do
	11:55am clarke: jacques levy as the co-writer
	11:55am DJ Guin: ...1-2-3-4!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Back! Those were good tunes during the decon protocols, Michael!
	11:56am spodiodi: inforrrrrrma
	11:56am clarke: you're flatting dear!!
	11:57am spodiodi: 8^) aloha
	11:57am Hughie Considine: @Clarke, It must have presented something of a challenge, but Levy was up to it. My point was that Dylan was asked about that line and he said it was just because he needed a rhyme, sort of undercutting the meanings people like to read in to his work.
	11:57am clarke: exactly MY point, as well, sir!
	11:58am DJ Guin: Murry Wilson occupies a special place..in Hell.
	11:58am StringOFperils: I can see Murray Wilson wanting to go back to something more Perry Como-ish
	11:59am StringOFperils: Crewcutted dead-eyed freak.
	12:00pm Handy Haversack: OK, Michael, play lucky music! I'm going to cut my hair!
	12:01pm clarke: exactly!!
	12:02pm TDK60: I started a Dylanology discussion and didn't even mean to! The Australian reference is from his Outlaw Blues.
	12:02pm Jett: Double negative!
	12:02pm jmd: Perfect summary of TED talks: weren’t not useful.
	12:02pm listener 126464: for when you really mean no
	12:03pm clarke: well, speaking of dylan - i still haven't made it through his latest. should i???
	12:03pm TDK60: Clarke. well if you're ever holed up at yer house with a lot of time...
	12:03pm StringOFperils: @clarke: You haven't lived...
	12:04pm clarke: i am holed up - but very little time.
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: Come on, dude, you don't have 17 minutes?
	12:05pm clarke: i made it through about 2 mins of dylan's new one
	12:05pm clarke: i am recording like a madman - this show and a few others are a luxury break
	12:07pm TDK60: Here's my snyopsis (Cliff Notes-style). Bob starts off talkin' JFK blues, then drifts into a list of a lot of his fave songs over the decades, to a sparse arrangement.
	12:07pm clarke: got a date with a white telecaster in a bit.
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: @TDK60, good synopsis -- the list of songs etc. is kind of amazing. Couldn't believe he left out Bruce Foxton's solo album though.
	12:08pm clarke: yeah, i made it thru or to the song list
	12:09pm DJ Guin: Check out This Is Pop! the XTC documentary. Great stuff.
	12:09pm listener 126464: PIX Penthouse Party
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: Colin Moulding came up with the early hits, much to the consternation of Mr. Partridge, who eventually caught up.
	12:09pm Jett: I may have gotten mine at Bleecker Bob's also, either there or Golden Disc or Record Runner.
	12:09pm clarke: then i wanted to listen to Bruce Foxton's solo album!!
	12:09pm myron feld: 10 Feet Tall is SO WPIX. Where's Joe from Chicago?
	12:10pm Hughie Considine: I prefer the freneticism of the other guitar solo.
	12:10pm TDK60: Hee Hughie. // I have come to surmise that one of Swindon, Wiltshire, England's better combos, is XTC.
	12:10pm juniper: My dad says he couldn't get into the new Dylan.
	12:10pm clarke: what about you jupe??
	12:11pm Frank In Queens: Very nice!
	12:11pm TDK60: There was an XTC con/trov/ersy?
	12:12pm clarke: ASSOCIATE not assistant!!
	12:12pm StringOFperils: @juniper. The new Dylan gets into you. Like when you look into the abyss, and the abyss looks into you.
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: Hugely influential band for me, @TDK60. One of the greatest. The live stuff on YouTube shows what a fierce live band they were too.
	12:12pm clarke: someone last week claimed that FMU didn't play enough XTC
	12:12pm jmd: What was the xtc controversy?
	12:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: HOW MUCH IS SHE CHARGING YOU FOR THOSE CORN MUFFINS?!!?
	12:13pm suzyhotrod: Jordan wins! The executive producer of my home radio show cannot bake.
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: What a claim! It was almost as if they said WFMU doesn't play enough Captain Beefheart.
	12:13pm clarke: then monsieur shelley had to site evidence from the archival playlistes
	12:13pm DJ Guin: @clarke - I second that . and not enough Wilco, Aimee Mann...
	12:14pm suzyhotrod: Todd, your executive producer Cheryl makes cinnamon buns. can someone talk to Johnny and send recipes?
	12:14pm J&E in Ithaca NY: Greetings from Ithaca NY (home of Buttermilk Falls, good for swimming, not for baking). Thanks for all the great number one hits!
	12:14pm Greg from ZONE 5: This here is a joyful noise.
	12:15pm TDK60: Oh yeh Hughie. English Settlement I feel is one of the best UK rock albums of the '80s. And feel about the same about Black Sea too.
	12:15pm DJ Guin: ...oh, and Ron Sexsmith. lol
	12:17pm Einstraus: Michael... what does your mum know about Bob Dylan, Steve McQueen and Warren Beatty?
	12:18pm clarke: the way i figure it, there's no reason to want to hear something, on the radio, anymore. requests seem to be a thing of the past, because one can EASILY listen to ANYthing they want to, personally. not the way i grew up, but the way it is.
	12:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @suzyhotrod: Perhaps I can have her recite the recipe on the air later today.
	12:18pm Gaylord Fields: WFMU: Serving Two Masters (playing everyone's favorite artists while simultaneously exposing listeners to new music) Since 1958
	12:19pm Hughie Considine: @TDK, I'd say the run from Drums & Wires through Skylarking, which includes the less-than-top-drawer Big Express but also the first Dukes of Stratosphear--would be hard to top by almost any but the greatest bands.
	12:19pm Listener Baby: And BTW. Our assistant engineer in the Shelley basement just got a few nice words said about her latest project. In between hitting out of the park at school. She's an international ROCK STAR! Please gander at this. Congrats Jupe!
	12:19pm Listener Baby: coachellavalleyweekly.com...
	12:20pm clarke: c'mon the "worst" XTC record is nothing less than awesome! (i guess Go Too is the 'worst')
	12:20pm Alan D.: Michael: I'd like to think that your comment about ted talks is not a criticism of all the teachers who are working so hard to help their students through this difficult time. I have been a NYC public school teacher for 20+ years. I expect better from the station I have loved and supported since long before I was a teacher.
	12:20pm TDK60: Hughie, I like them all! Mummer holds special memories.
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: Einstraus - my mom worked with Steve McQueen
	12:22pm Cooh John: I have a Robbie Fulks song on Seeburg jukebox.
	12:22pm Corey: That thumb drive is the gift that keeps on giving. Highly recommended!
	12:25pm Michael Shelley: Alan, overall on-line teaching had exceeded expectations! But, I particularly am not fond of Ted Talks, and the idea of leaning on them so heavily seems wrong to me. But overall - teachers, especially starting their careers, need higher wages.
	12:25pm Gaylord Fields: @Einstraus: This may be my favorite "well, actually" ever, but Michael's mother and Steve McQueen played lovers in a movie. Still checking on her Dylan connection.
	12:25pm Einstraus: Michael - I think she also saw saw Dylan in some Greenwich Village coffee shops in the 60s
	12:26pm Michael Shelley: Einstraus - are you a ringer? Seems you know more then I do.
	12:26pm Einstraus: Michael.... I got connections
	12:26pm Gaylord Fields: Einstraus = Steve McQueen's ghost
	12:26pm clarke: the ringer must not appear empty, dude.
	12:27pm Einstraus: What about Warren?
	12:28pm TDK60: I knew commune hippies (but not Christians); all Buddhists, Jews, or atheists.
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: This really rings true -- many of us were unsupervised in the '70s, or in the care of strangers our parents never vetted.
	12:28pm clarke: truth!
	12:30pm Pedro in Arlington: Such a great show today. And dang, Robbie sings like Levon.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: Good talk, Michael!
	12:31pm clarke: in all honesty, i have to say that i much prefer the voice (or way of singing) that Fulks employs on Angela than to the one on this song. great interview, tho!!!
	12:31pm TDK60: Was always wary of those Jesus freak types who ambled thru town; Children of God I think they were called.
	12:34pm clarke: kids today are learning to shun people -- very different from 70's kids, needless to say.
	12:36pm Jett: Sparks/Halfnelson were pretty big here in NYC, at least a lot of my friends liked them.
	12:36pm DJ Guin: "Stranger Danger' made every parent teach children to be suspect of anyone they met. Not suggesting all people are good, but...it is often the people you know that do unspeakable things to you as a kid.
	12:37pm clarke: right-o!
	12:37pm DJ Guin: Children of God members included ALL of the Phoenix Family- from River on down.
	12:38pm Dennis Diken: hey Mikey! diggin'!
	12:39pm myron feld: This early version is a nice midtempo bonbon, but "Stay Away From Downtown" is an absolute masterpiece.
	12:40pm Greg from ZONE 5: @myron: AGREED.
	12:40pm DJ Guin: man..could I go for some corn bread with a crawfish etouffee...thanks Michael Shelley and Associate Producer Juniper
	12:41pm clarke: ze bongoe feete!!!
	12:41pm clarke: or was that another food delivery to The Cat-Pee Organ Basement?
	12:42pm Andres: Canadian listeners. We are legion.
	12:42pm clarke: CPO Basement (not featuring CPO Sharkey)
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: Mask adoption VERY POOR in N. Brooklyn this sunny day.
	12:43pm clarke: non-fur-lined!!!
	12:44pm TDK60: Sorry to hear of such a fashion vacuum, Handy.
	12:44pm DJ Guin: @clarke -- here ya go -- www.youtube.com... UFO Sharkey courtesy SCTV
	12:47pm clarke: noice!!!
	12:48pm clarke: one bongo foot, there.
	12:49pm TDK60: Well, can ya go wrong with Toots? Nah..
	12:49pm Greg from ZONE 5: Oh man—an all-time fav right here.
	12:51pm clarke: Gain Strructure has reached a HIGH level.
	12:52pm Ciggy: Going out in the yard to take in some UV rays! No disinfectant injections for me!
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Kate's making me exercise now, so in case this is the last time I am ever able to say it -- thanks for a great show! Thanks, Ruth Bones Booth!
	12:55pm TDK60: Like I said earlier this morn, not able to be here often. Thanks for all the hits Michael with one 'M'. So fun.
	12:55pm DJ Guin: heartfelt thanks to Michael, Ruth, and Juniper! making my packing up days more enjoyable.
	12:55pm clarke: cheers to ruth booth!! and The Associate!! very fine work here, sir! a public service, i say!!
	12:55pm Hughie Considine: Here's a gorgeous evocation of those unsupervised days of youth ...
	12:57pm Ruth Booth: Have a great day, everybody!
	12:57pm Corey: Thanks, Michael and Ruth for putting on today's show! Dystopian news counterbalanced by #1 hits.
	12:57pm Frank In Queens: Nice work all around today, folks! Thanks as always!
	12:57pm clarke: and Bruce Foxton's solo album. this is kissel, ever get the feeling you been juped??
	12:58pm listener 126464: Thanks Michael & crew!
	12:59pm DJ Guin: Uncle Freddie's dead?!?
	12:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks for the entertainment. :)
	12:59pm egould310: Uncle Freddy died?!?!
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: A tragic case of mistaken identity!
	12:59pm egould310: Thanks, Michael. Great show. Good interview. Peace out.
	1:00pm dave wuz here: been riffin this for weeks
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: Poor Uncle Freddie.
	1:00pm clarke: freddie's on the corner NOW!!!
	1:01pm Michael Shelley: THANKS ALL!

	11:10am Listener Baby: Baby. Sounding like aces! That dashboard is flyin' high. Who needs a traffic filled drive to Jersey City?

	11:18am Corey: @Handy Yeah, lemon tree is still bare.

	11:23am StringOFperils: Holy crap!
	11:23am Frank In Queens: Guitar Domination is a good name for a metal band.
	11:25am Jett: I remember going to my friend's house at that time and he had The Fool Around album by Rachel Sweet, he also had Stateless by Lene Lovich and many other Stiff albums from that period. He always used to play them when I would visit. This guy was starting to have some mental issues. One day a friend and I go to his house and he puts on Rachel Sweet, and his mother walks in and says no Stiff music anything but Stiff music, it's affecting him. I will never forget that.
	11:26am testingwithfire: Buzzing the cockles of our hearts here.
	11:26am Crei6hton: Morning!
	11:26am SmokinJ: Never underestimate the beautiful simplicity of mj & cold beer... Mornin' ms & all! 8-)
	11:26am egould310: Yessss! Buzzcocks. Been listening to them alot this week. Brilliant. Punky new wave power pop. Pop music. Amazing band.
	11:28am StringOFperils: @Jett.Maybe your friend was caught up in the last part of STIFF's slogan, emblazoned on the labels: If it it ain't STIFF, it ain't worth a F***.
	11:29am Frank In Queens: Marianne is a WINNER! Se beat COVID-19!
	11:29am Listener Baby: Marianne just kicked The 19!
	11:29am davefromtoronto: did/does anyone actually think she's good? wow...
	11:30am Michael Shelley: I do!
	11:31am davefromtoronto: you like her or you think she's good?
	11:32am testingwithfire: swinging to the Western oldies at the moment
	11:33am testingwithfire: and there's tons of berry foraging to be done where I am, if the rain would stop for an hour or so
	11:33am TDK60: Say it in "broken Canadian" Dave. Hee..
	11:34am StringOFperils: Stormin' dancefloor shaker. Wish I could turn this up as much as I'd like to.
	11:34am davefromtoronto: eh?
	11:34am Frank In Queens: I just bought Strange Brew on Blu-Ray!
	11:35am TDK60: never mind, too obscure a reference maybe.
	11:35am Jett: I just found it strange that his mother was blaming Stiff records for his mental issues, I felt it might be his excessive drug use.
	11:35am Goyim in the AM: Jenna Fischer has new podcast about the making of the Office -- Office Ladies -- that I suspect will provide many wonderful "Michael" soundbites in the coming months...
	11:36am testingwithfire: @Jett my parents had a similar (bad) take... in fact the music helped me get through high school.
	11:36am davefromtoronto: i won passes to the premiere of strange brew in toronto! remember it being funny in parts.
	11:37am paul: Countrier than Thou
	11:38am Jett: Discarded gloves and masks all over the place. I bring a garbage bag with me to discard mine in that.
	11:39am listener 126464: long branch?
	11:39am testingwithfire: Nick Lowe, author of Elvis Costello's best tune (ducks) ... headed over to Bandcamp now
	11:39am Frank In Queens: Hi-Risers are a must see!
	11:40am paul: Be sure to enter the discount code "20 percent" if ordering from Bandcamp.
	11:41am Listener Baby: @TDK60. I got it, for what it's worth. Good one!
	11:41am Hughie Considine: I guess the one-note concept held real currency at some point, thinking of "Johnny One-Note" and I'm sure others...
	11:41am juniper: @goyim- I love that podcast!! I'm half way through!
	11:42am GerryB: That was in Long Branch, Michael. White chapel Projects. Saw you and Juniper there. Great night of rock n roll.
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Bandcamp is waiving their fees on 5/1 so that artists can receive 100% of the sale. If you can wait a week to purchase new music, 5/1 would be a great day to spend some cash.
	11:43am Uncle Michael: Sounding great from home, Michael!
	11:43am Mike Sin: Michael - the show sounds great today! I’m amazed at how good so many of the WFMU DJs sound from their home studios. The effort and dedication is appreciated!
	11:44am clarke: thanks for being here brother - and associate!!
	11:45am Hughie Considine: I second the words of @Mike Sin!
	11:46am Queens L. Bow: Thanks for playing the original of "From Head to Toe." Elvis C. covered this in the '80s, it came out only as a single...but later was a bonus cut on "Imperial Bedroom."
	11:46am paul: Earle, dad gummit!
	11:47am TDK60: Steve Earle. I think he lives in NYC now. Or did..
	11:48am Jett: Paul McCartney plays tambourine on that Escorts single written by Smokey Robinson, "From Head To Toe."
	11:49am Jett: The original of "From Head To Toe" is by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.
	11:50am Michael Shelley: YES - seems that he engineered it too
	11:50am Squints: @Jett Not Bernard Purdie? 8^)
	11:51am Listener Baby: Jupe. Let us know, Baby. Say hello.
	11:52am clarke: was this one from The Great Album Car Trunk Find?
	11:52am TDK60: Dylan said he'd like to spend some time in Mozambique. But then again, he said he'd like to be on some Australian mountain range too.
	11:53am Matt Fiveash: Love this one! I think it was on one of those great double cd premiums of yours. Carry on...
	11:53am Jett: Purdie was a great drummer, but he didn't play the shuffle on that one. Lot's of James Brown stuff though.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: Dylan also said "People don't live or die/people just float" because he needed a rhyme with boat.
	11:54am Frank In Queens: Paul Bartel is dancing in his grave!
	11:54am DJ Guin: Gabba Gabba Hey!!
	11:55am clarke: in fact, hughie, dylan and co-writer were merely trying to find words that rhymed with Mozambique when they wrote that
	11:55am testingwithfire: yes, Joey. I do
	11:55am clarke: jacques levy as the co-writer
	11:55am DJ Guin: ...1-2-3-4!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Back! Those were good tunes during the decon protocols, Michael!
	11:56am spodiodi: inforrrrrrma
	11:56am clarke: you're flatting dear!!
	11:57am spodiodi: 8^) aloha
	11:57am Hughie Considine: @Clarke, It must have presented something of a challenge, but Levy was up to it. My point was that Dylan was asked about that line and he said it was just because he needed a rhyme, sort of undercutting the meanings people like to read in to his work.
	11:57am clarke: exactly MY point, as well, sir!
	11:58am DJ Guin: Murry Wilson occupies a special place..in Hell.
	11:58am StringOFperils: I can see Murray Wilson wanting to go back to something more Perry Como-ish
	11:59am StringOFperils: Crewcutted dead-eyed freak.
	12:00pm Handy Haversack: OK, Michael, play lucky music! I'm going to cut my hair!
	12:01pm clarke: exactly!!
	12:02pm TDK60: I started a Dylanology discussion and didn't even mean to! The Australian reference is from his Outlaw Blues.
	12:02pm Jett: Double negative!
	12:02pm jmd: Perfect summary of TED talks: weren’t not useful.
	12:02pm listener 126464: for when you really mean no
	12:03pm clarke: well, speaking of dylan - i still haven't made it through his latest. should i???
	12:03pm TDK60: Clarke. well if you're ever holed up at yer house with a lot of time...
	12:03pm StringOFperils: @clarke: You haven't lived...
	12:04pm clarke: i am holed up - but very little time.
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: Come on, dude, you don't have 17 minutes?
	12:05pm clarke: i made it through about 2 mins of dylan's new one
	12:05pm clarke: i am recording like a madman - this show and a few others are a luxury break
	12:07pm TDK60: Here's my snyopsis (Cliff Notes-style). Bob starts off talkin' JFK blues, then drifts into a list of a lot of his fave songs over the decades, to a sparse arrangement.
	12:07pm clarke: got a date with a white telecaster in a bit.
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: @TDK60, good synopsis -- the list of songs etc. is kind of amazing. Couldn't believe he left out Bruce Foxton's solo album though.
	12:08pm clarke: yeah, i made it thru or to the song list
	12:09pm DJ Guin: Check out This Is Pop! the XTC documentary. Great stuff.
	12:09pm listener 126464: PIX Penthouse Party
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: Colin Moulding came up with the early hits, much to the consternation of Mr. Partridge, who eventually caught up.
	12:09pm Jett: I may have gotten mine at Bleecker Bob's also, either there or Golden Disc or Record Runner.
	12:09pm clarke: then i wanted to listen to Bruce Foxton's solo album!!
	12:09pm myron feld: 10 Feet Tall is SO WPIX. Where's Joe from Chicago?
	12:10pm Hughie Considine: I prefer the freneticism of the other guitar solo.
	12:10pm TDK60: Hee Hughie. // I have come to surmise that one of Swindon, Wiltshire, England's better combos, is XTC.
	12:10pm juniper: My dad says he couldn't get into the new Dylan.
	12:10pm clarke: what about you jupe??
	12:11pm Frank In Queens: Very nice!
	12:11pm TDK60: There was an XTC con/trov/ersy?
	12:12pm clarke: ASSOCIATE not assistant!!
	12:12pm StringOFperils: @juniper. The new Dylan gets into you. Like when you look into the abyss, and the abyss looks into you.
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: Hugely influential band for me, @TDK60. One of the greatest. The live stuff on YouTube shows what a fierce live band they were too.
	12:12pm clarke: someone last week claimed that FMU didn't play enough XTC
	12:12pm jmd: What was the xtc controversy?
	12:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: HOW MUCH IS SHE CHARGING YOU FOR THOSE CORN MUFFINS?!!?
	12:13pm suzyhotrod: Jordan wins! The executive producer of my home radio show cannot bake.
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: What a claim! It was almost as if they said WFMU doesn't play enough Captain Beefheart.
	12:13pm clarke: then monsieur shelley had to site evidence from the archival playlistes
	12:13pm DJ Guin: @clarke - I second that . and not enough Wilco, Aimee Mann...
	12:14pm suzyhotrod: Todd, your executive producer Cheryl makes cinnamon buns. can someone talk to Johnny and send recipes?
	12:14pm J&E in Ithaca NY: Greetings from Ithaca NY (home of Buttermilk Falls, good for swimming, not for baking). Thanks for all the great number one hits!
	12:14pm Greg from ZONE 5: This here is a joyful noise.
	12:15pm TDK60: Oh yeh Hughie. English Settlement I feel is one of the best UK rock albums of the '80s. And feel about the same about Black Sea too.
	12:15pm DJ Guin: ...oh, and Ron Sexsmith. lol
	12:17pm Einstraus: Michael... what does your mum know about Bob Dylan, Steve McQueen and Warren Beatty?
	12:18pm clarke: the way i figure it, there's no reason to want to hear something, on the radio, anymore. requests seem to be a thing of the past, because one can EASILY listen to ANYthing they want to, personally. not the way i grew up, but the way it is.
	12:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @suzyhotrod: Perhaps I can have her recite the recipe on the air later today.
	12:18pm Gaylord Fields: WFMU: Serving Two Masters (playing everyone's favorite artists while simultaneously exposing listeners to new music) Since 1958
	12:19pm Hughie Considine: @TDK, I'd say the run from Drums & Wires through Skylarking, which includes the less-than-top-drawer Big Express but also the first Dukes of Stratosphear--would be hard to top by almost any but the greatest bands.
	12:19pm Listener Baby: And BTW. Our assistant engineer in the Shelley basement just got a few nice words said about her latest project. In between hitting out of the park at school. She's an international ROCK STAR! Please gander at this. Congrats Jupe!
	12:19pm Listener Baby: coachellavalleyweekly.com...
	12:20pm clarke: c'mon the "worst" XTC record is nothing less than awesome! (i guess Go Too is the 'worst')
	12:20pm Alan D.: Michael: I'd like to think that your comment about ted talks is not a criticism of all the teachers who are working so hard to help their students through this difficult time. I have been a NYC public school teacher for 20+ years. I expect better from the station I have loved and supported since long before I was a teacher.
	12:20pm TDK60: Hughie, I like them all! Mummer holds special memories.
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: Einstraus - my mom worked with Steve McQueen
	12:22pm Cooh John: I have a Robbie Fulks song on Seeburg jukebox.
	12:22pm Corey: That thumb drive is the gift that keeps on giving. Highly recommended!
	12:25pm Michael Shelley: Alan, overall on-line teaching had exceeded expectations! But, I particularly am not fond of Ted Talks, and the idea of leaning on them so heavily seems wrong to me. But overall - teachers, especially starting their careers, need higher wages.
	12:25pm Gaylord Fields: @Einstraus: This may be my favorite "well, actually" ever, but Michael's mother and Steve McQueen played lovers in a movie. Still checking on her Dylan connection.
	12:25pm Einstraus: Michael - I think she also saw saw Dylan in some Greenwich Village coffee shops in the 60s
	12:26pm Michael Shelley: Einstraus - are you a ringer? Seems you know more then I do.
	12:26pm Einstraus: Michael.... I got connections
	12:26pm Gaylord Fields: Einstraus = Steve McQueen's ghost
	12:26pm clarke: the ringer must not appear empty, dude.
	12:27pm Einstraus: What about Warren?
	12:28pm TDK60: I knew commune hippies (but not Christians); all Buddhists, Jews, or atheists.
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: This really rings true -- many of us were unsupervised in the '70s, or in the care of strangers our parents never vetted.
	12:28pm clarke: truth!
	12:30pm Pedro in Arlington: Such a great show today. And dang, Robbie sings like Levon.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: Good talk, Michael!
	12:31pm clarke: in all honesty, i have to say that i much prefer the voice (or way of singing) that Fulks employs on Angela than to the one on this song. great interview, tho!!!
	12:31pm TDK60: Was always wary of those Jesus freak types who ambled thru town; Children of God I think they were called.
	12:34pm clarke: kids today are learning to shun people -- very different from 70's kids, needless to say.
	12:36pm Jett: Sparks/Halfnelson were pretty big here in NYC, at least a lot of my friends liked them.
	12:36pm DJ Guin: "Stranger Danger' made every parent teach children to be suspect of anyone they met. Not suggesting all people are good, but...it is often the people you know that do unspeakable things to you as a kid.
	12:37pm clarke: right-o!
	12:37pm DJ Guin: Children of God members included ALL of the Phoenix Family- from River on down.
	12:38pm Dennis Diken: hey Mikey! diggin'!
	12:39pm myron feld: This early version is a nice midtempo bonbon, but "Stay Away From Downtown" is an absolute masterpiece.
	12:40pm Greg from ZONE 5: @myron: AGREED.
	12:40pm DJ Guin: man..could I go for some corn bread with a crawfish etouffee...thanks Michael Shelley and Associate Producer Juniper
	12:41pm clarke: ze bongoe feete!!!
	12:41pm clarke: or was that another food delivery to The Cat-Pee Organ Basement?
	12:42pm Andres: Canadian listeners. We are legion.
	12:42pm clarke: CPO Basement (not featuring CPO Sharkey)
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: Mask adoption VERY POOR in N. Brooklyn this sunny day.
	12:43pm clarke: non-fur-lined!!!
	12:44pm TDK60: Sorry to hear of such a fashion vacuum, Handy.
	12:44pm DJ Guin: @clarke -- here ya go -- www.youtube.com... UFO Sharkey courtesy SCTV
	12:47pm clarke: noice!!!
	12:48pm clarke: one bongo foot, there.
	12:49pm TDK60: Well, can ya go wrong with Toots? Nah..
	12:49pm Greg from ZONE 5: Oh man—an all-time fav right here.
	12:51pm clarke: Gain Strructure has reached a HIGH level.
	12:52pm Ciggy: Going out in the yard to take in some UV rays! No disinfectant injections for me!
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Kate's making me exercise now, so in case this is the last time I am ever able to say it -- thanks for a great show! Thanks, Ruth Bones Booth!
