	🎸 ♥ 9:05am Karl Ward: Joe McGasko has traded his smoking jacket for the freeform robes, he's standing at the altar, Rev. Fiveash at his side, they are calling the faithful to come forward, let's listen.
	🎸 ♥ 9:05am Webhamster Henry: Yippiee! Ok, is this going to be a flute set?
	🎸 ♥ 9:05am PKNY: ↳ Song: "If I Were a Carpenter" by "Herbie Mann" If Herbie Man was a carpenter, I'm sure he'd still be shirtless

	🎸 ♥ 9:10am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl Ward @9:05 Karl, it is the beginning of the liturgical WFMU year. Marathon is Carnival and New Year. A celebration of all that is to come and a reversal of the tired order of the world in celebration and song. Great energies are summoned, though they drain throughout the year until Hellraiser is the thinning of the veils, still holy but the antipodes, where the mortal energies of Marathon wear down and must be recharged through sacrifice and fear. In other words: PAR-TAY!
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & Matt. Enjoyable show with Meg Baird last week. As someone on the comments said in the week, it was more like a conversation than an interview.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:10 Is "Party 'til you're pledged out" the holiday motto?
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am Brian in UK: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:10 Handy, PAR-TAY my arse, just off to the osteopath to get my back in shape.
	♥ 9:12am Greg from ZONE 5: Up & at 'em, Joe!

Still haven't been able to get down there b/c COVID vulnerability. So this is a helluva day to launch this year's 'Thon for me.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Yetz: ↳ Song: "Wichita Lineman" by "The Moto-Gators" He's still on the line! (Waiting for your pledge?)
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "Wichita Lineman" by "The Moto-Gators" You can hear the volunteers shouting the lyrics in the background, they sound pretty good

	🎸 ♥ 9:18am love2laf: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:16 You are keeping you and yours safe, and although you surely miss doing the volunteering at the station, you're doing the best you can for you. As Clay would say, much Pixie your way.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Bryant in TO: Morning, Joe McG! Morning, everyone! What a wonderful day for a pledge!
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Wichita Lineman" by "The Moto-Gators" Needs to be followed by an instrumental "Free Bird" for Gary Rossington (RIP).

	🎸 ♥ 9:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:19 Paul is still on the liiiiiiiiiiiine!

	🎸 ♥ 9:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ Bobby @9:20 Oh, shoot! Fantastic! See you there!
	♥ 9:22am REDSPIDER: Somehow I feel that Bowie's Space Oddity and Campbell's Wichita Lineman are thematically related....
	9:25am rx scabin: Good morning, Joe and Everyone.

	♥ 9:27am listener james from westwood: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:26 Oh goodness! Condolences to you and yours, Henry! Twenty-one is quite an age for a cat! They surely knew they were loved each and every minute of it.
	9:28am Listener Alexandra: Happy Marathon Monday, Joe! Hoping to score this sweet Kitty Ford elpee for my niece :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:28am love2laf: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:26 Such a rich long life your cat had, you must have so many memories. Your heart must be sore. They nestle in your heart and you never forget them. Hope the good memories temper the grief.
	♥ 9:28am listener james from westwood: ↳ Krys O. @9:27 @KrysO: Oh goodness, sorry you've likewise had to forgo visits! It's a deep ache indeed. Hoping we can both find our way back down somehow soon.

	♥ 9:31am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Why Don't You Do Right?" by "Nichelle Nichols" Oh wow, Nichelle Nichols!
	♥ 9:32am listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Why Don't You Do Right?" by "Nichelle Nichols" Surely not the only Gen Xer to be introduced to "Do Right" by Jessica Rabbit. Also, Uhura on vocals! Daaaaaamn!
	9:32am Fred and Alan: Hello Love2laf. The weekend was so busy non stop customers non stop slicing at the deli. They were buying tons and tons of deli meat and cheeses
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am Webhamster Henry: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:27 He was a street cat that we adopted and really thought he was a person. When he was an outdoor cat you could call for him and you'd hear his collar's bell ring as he was running back from the woods. He was a purr-sonality!
	♥ 9:32am listener james from westwood: Semi-related: Do-Rite Donuts in Chicago are delish. As are Stan's.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am Handy Haversack: Bryant in TO!
	9:34am Starkville Bill: I remember when I was a child finding these Ruth Wallis records in my parents' albums. They wouldn't let me listen to them.

	🎸 ♥ 9:41am Edgar from Maine: Round up the bloody dogies.
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: ↳ Mike Sin @9:40 Always nice to see you, Mike!
	9:42am Listener Alexandra: Joe, I can't wait to drive around in my ancient Prius blasting more cowpunk. So good!
	♥ 9:43am Joe McG: ↳ Listener Alexandra @9:42 Thanks, Alex!
	♥ 9:44am listener james from westwood: ↳ Bryant in TO @9:39 Ohhhh, a good fritter is a thing to revere!
	9:45am Fred and Alan: Got hooked on your show every Monday. Fred and Alan from Pseus thing with a hook
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:26 Sorry for your feline loss, WHH.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51am PKNY: FYI, the artist who did the WFMU t-shrt is Arik Roper, famous for doing lots of artwork for Sleep, including their recent Dopesmoker reissue www.instagram.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:51am Handy Haversack: DJ Premiums: wfmu.org... Swag: wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:52am HyperDose: ↳ PKNY @9:51 If it's Matt Pike approved, I'm in!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am Bryant in TO: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:44 Shore is! I've been on a quest to find a fritter that competes and always come up short. I need to hit up Old Fashioned next time I'm in Chi to see if my memory isn't failing me.
	9:53am Too Obtuse: Johnny Smith!!
	9:54am Fred and Alan: We entered the ears of the WFMU listeners and wound up in their hearts
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☽Monday FMUvianz ~ ☆ HAPPY MARATHON ☆ ...I have NO INCOME - so it's another awkward one for me. (I've been Swag For Life whenever I even barely could.) It's when I'm obliged to say - THANK YOU - to all who are able to contribute. Know that you do so for the benefit of all of us - & it is sincerely & significantly appreciated. ...Then I get outta the way & let the Grown-Ups TCB for a minute maybe...
	♥ 9:55am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:04 Sorry just saw your comment…it’s a great show! I miss it 🥲
	♥ 9:56am evancuts: I heard a song that wasn't back announced back in 1988--back before the archives when I'd have to make mixed tapes off the radio. I did not hear it again until a few weeks ago. Now I know it was Steve Reich's "It's Gonna Rain."
	♥ 9:56am B R M: Am I crazy to prefer the Marathon shows? 1. DJ Team-Ups are a blast 2. Sense of community expands 3. Strengthens my faith in humanity to see everyone come together to support the station 4. I work at a non-profit and love fundraising Just me?
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am Dano59: German Funk = not foo bad; better than Southern Techno
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am PKNY: ↳ HyperDose @9:52 I've seen Sleep a few times over the past 6-7 years, and I've never seen any group's fans as ravenous for merch as Sleep fans, longer lines for merch than for the bar or bathroom!. Get the Pike fans out there to donate to get some Arik Roper designed shirts, and WFMU will be rolling in dough!
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am love2laf: ↳ B R M @9:56 Hell no, you nailed it. And that's why @Revolution Rabbit should feel no awkwardness, we pull together as a community. And hang out, and love the joy of hanging out and increasing our sense of community. And discovering new wonders, like @Fred and Alan
	9:59am Andres: ↳ B R M @9:56 The world needs more crazy like that. :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ B R M @9:56 What?! It's the greatest time of the year!
	🎸 ♥ 9:59am yerfriendpaul: Human beings here, ready for your call!!
	♥ 9:59am REDSPIDER: I'm really feeling this!
	♥ 9:59am listener james from westwood: Whitefield Brothers!
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Dano59: ↳ B R M @9:56 couldn't agree more, B R M!. Being a DJ is often splendid isolation, but having a co-host is always more fun
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Erin in TO: Marathon is definitely the best time of the year, no question
	♥ 10:02am HyperDose: ↳ PKNY @9:57 I became a fan of High on Fire before Sleep. Ravenous (and sweaty) fanbase!
	♥ 10:04am Roberto: Full disclosure, there are WFMU DJs I can tolerate better when they're tempered by a co-host 😂
	🎸 ♥ 10:04am Dano59: I haven't done my SFL update pledges yet; can I allot to Surface Noise #1 as a prize entry, or are those separate/extra? (I really need to write to Joe for. this and other questions - longtime listener, first year doing it this way)
	10:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CENTENNIAL ⦿Sun in ♓︎Pisces, Year of Water 🐖Boar ' John Leslie "Wes" Montgomery (March 6, 1923 – June 15, 1968)
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am doctorjazz: Hi! Have to check out the Sonny Rollins book!
	♥ 10:05am Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:04 Heroin Boar, coming soon to a theeter near youse
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dano59 @10:04 Dano59: Use the pledge widget or link, pledge what you want to allocate to SN (or whatever show), don't select SWAG, and choose Bill Me Later. In the "memo to office" section, say "Please aim $xx of my S4L amount to [Surface Noise]." That way you can get in the running for pledges. At the end of Marathon, you can send Joe an e-mail with your SWAG selections.
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Handy Haversack: Erin in TO!
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Erin in TO: That's me!
	10:07am trailrunnah: Love them Winston Brothers tunes..
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am Dano59: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:32 That Honeybeat! LP (compiled/liner notes by Sheila B.) is really terrific, as those things go
	🎸 ♥ 10:09am Handy Haversack: Marley Dogg!
	🎸 ♥ 10:10am Triple G in NYC: The archives do get posted SO fast! Thanks for that, Rebecca
	🎸 ♥ 10:11am Webhamster Henry: The WFMU archives are their own radio station! Thanks Rebecca!
	10:12am DjLorraine: Gmorning Joe & Matt. Your voices sound wonderful. Thank you Rebecca for archiving.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am Marley P. Dogg: Ahhhh - love that Winston Brothers album!
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am Dano59: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:07 thx Handy; I knew you'd know. Helpful volunteer rockstar as always.
	10:13am Mortricia: I know I'm going back in time and total non-sequitur but where is Joe's open from? I think it's from and MTV cartoon they had with the two aliens on the moon with the MTV flag and a radio that they find. My husband thinks it's older. Anyone know?
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Mortricia @10:13 Sesame Street! youtu.be...
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Erin in TO: ↳ Mortricia @10:13 It's an old Sesame Street bit. Goes back at least to my childhood in the 80's
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Karl Ward: I am ready to be bummed out
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dano59 @10:13 Joe has yet to complain at me about this method, though I basically live in fear of causing him MORE headaches on top of the baked-in Marathon headaches I'm sure he has to deal with.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am Krys O.: I recall a brief time when texts were allowed, but I don't think that system worked.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am Dano59: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 part of my reluctance to "text" another headache as well
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Erin in TO: True story: The yip-yips terrified me as a child and continue to. I keep hoping Joe's intro will get me over that, but I still kind of shudder every time, after 3 years of regular listening
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am Dano59: ↳ Krys O. @10:16 we once had a little box in our studio that showed DJs live tweets / Twitter feed during our shows. It was too far ahead of its time as we didn't get much of that traffic anyway
	10:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Erin in TO @10:17 Kinda love things that scared me as a little child.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19am Erin in TO: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:18 Oh me too...but the yip yips are deeply disturbing on a fundamental level to me lol
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am Dano59: hmm I'd already clicky-starred this Delines. Maybe thanks to Joe. Fascinating stuff.
	10:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Erin in TO @10:19 ...yerknow - go back to the beginning of Muppets on EdSullivan & stuff - & they'd devour each other - sardonic things ...they weren't Disney then - tho they are now ...not that there's no Spooky in Didney flix...
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:18 ... the Twilight Zone ep with Paul Winchell & a sentient dummy really made me afeared
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Erin in TO: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:21 Muppets were often creepy...like the garbage heap in Fraggle Rock or the ones in Labrynth that take off their heads
	10:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dano59 @10:22 ...OuterLimits ! Course that's what they aimed for...
	10:23am Mortricia: Thanks all. Wild bc I have no memory of the Sesame Street thing and both of us are too old really to ever have seen that as part of Sesame Street (that came on in time for my youngest brother).
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:21 don't forget adult Muppets content on SNL Season 1...
	♥ 10:23am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Fourth of July" by "Dave Alvin" Oh yeah, we can't talk about Punktry without talking about X.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Fourth of July" by "Dave Alvin" Great song...
	10:24am Mortricia: ↳ Dano59 @10:23 Those I remember very well! That whole season of SNL!
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am McGroovey: Muh-nah,muh-nah Puh-teepee-teepee Muh-nah,muh-nah Puh-teepee-teepee Muh-nah,muh-nah Puh-teepee-teepee
	10:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...speaking of cigarettes - 'JohnnySmoke' an anti-smoking commercial with Expressionist graphix of this masked cigarette cowboy & haunting Morricone type music ...anyway...
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:22 I always confuse the two whenever this memory pops up. I saw fewer Outer Limitses back then than Twilight Zones
	10:25am Mister Dobalina: Good show so far, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:25 it's about his mom, it's with his mom
	10:27am rx scabin: Thank you, Joe and Matt. Good luck.
	♥ 10:27am Franco Twinkie: Good morning Joe. Thanks to you this happened: We went to see Meg Baird/Chris Forsyth this past Friday. Can I just say this - they put on A ROCK CONCERT! There was a mirror ball on the ceiling casting big polka-dots of light on the floor. I got delirious and had to move to the back of the room and sit at the bar. I got so wound up I couldn't sleep that night. Saturday morning I felt like a train wreck. But I also felt like I had an out of body experience. Thanks for the tip.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27am McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @10:24 I can't remember what covers next ... Maybe Puh-teepee-teepee, teep-teep-teepee-teep
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am tim from washington: Hey Joe and Matt! Let's Marathon it up, folks!
	♥ 10:30am Little Danny: go joe, go matt!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am McGroovey: I'm sitting in a quiet hospital, not listening, except that the yip-yips are still in my head, alternating or interspersed with the the Muh-nah,muh-nah song
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am Yetz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:27 u know it's a good show when u can't sleep after
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @10:27 .... What COMES next
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am tim from washington: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:27 Franco! That's such an exciting description. I saw Meg's old band, Espers, about 20 years ago. I wasn't really familiar with them when I saw them but they made me a fan.
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am Dano59: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:07 (still confused. Do I hit one-time and not monthly, for, say a 20 or 50 pledge rn? One-time -- round pledges don't seem to fit the square widget here)
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dano59 @10:31 Yes, One-Time
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am Handy Haversack: I am afraid I have to run an errand. But I will hopefully be back before the end of the show. Keep pledging, Surfactants!
	♥ 10:33am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tim from washington @10:31 I'm still trying to get a grip on what happened.
	♥ 10:34am Chris Hiatt: They invented Instagram so folks could show off their socks.
	♥ 10:34am HyperDose: Tinder is out. Hinge is the new "thang" with the youth
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am tim from washington: Socks are the introverts station promo!
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am Krys O.: I'm a sock person. Love it all from the wacky to the sublime. My friends know what to give me as gifts. I look forward to the WFMU socks.
	♥ 10:36am northguineahills: "what is a wfmu?" - my next email to joe....
	10:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no man - you know it's an intimate scene when the FMU sox are on the bedroom floor. They're for Players...
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Krys O.: I have a pair of socks that look like the check out card of a library book.
	♥ 10:38am Little Danny: ↳ northguineahills @10:36 hehe
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am tim from washington: Next week I will be answering phones for Joe's show. I am super excited!
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: BTW, the name of the label is INTERNATIONAL Anthem. Sorry, still shaking out the cobwebs.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41am Erin in TO: Someday I want to plan a trip to NY/NJ to coincide with marathon so I can volunteer
	🎸 ♥ 10:41am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Gotta Dig It to Dig It" by "Charles Stepney" This is some nice Stevie Wonder style funkiness!
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: ↳ northguineahills @10:36 What is a pistaris?
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am tim from washington: ↳ Erin in TO @10:41 You should do it! I'd been wanting to do it for years. Scott Williams was super helpful and acommadating about setting up volunteer schedule slots.
	♥ 10:43am northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:36 now, i have an image of rev rabbit ...uh, nevermind...
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am Jason from Houston: Don't sleep on that Stepney if you don't have it already. The spoken anecdotes are great.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am DjLorraine: ↳ Krys O. @10:38 Neato! My mind keeps writing jokes about checking you out in those socks.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am Erin in TO: ↳ tim from washington @10:43 It's definitely on the bucket list, hopefully in the next year or two
	🎸 ♥ 10:44am Dano59: ↳ Joe McG @10:40 anyone learning of this label out in calling-foul land will want to demand a White International Anthem.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Dano59: ↳ Jason from Houston @10:43 wan't too keen on the track played but I love the title track
	♥ 10:46am northguineahills: ↳ Joe McG @10:41 latin-based for something that crushes, if my brain's random etymology generator still works..

	10:51am yippie: Tompkins square is a lot more square than Washington square
	10:52am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Yip Yip 💰💰
	10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sweet Cherry Wine" by "Tommy James & the Shondells" A lot like TheRascals I suddenly think...
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am Dano59: ↳ evancuts @10:51 I always respected the Alarm's politics but they never fit into whatever else I was into in/from the '90s
	♥ 10:56am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Sweet Cherry Wine" by "Tommy James & the Shondells" A hit is a hit.
	10:57am PMD: I never thought about that re 45’s
	🎸 ♥ 10:58am tim from washington: Columbia Aretha, nice!
	♥ 10:59am prof.fuzz: morning y'all happy marathon!
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Saturday in the Park" by "Chicago" Dedicating this to Yetz.
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Stand" by "The Alarm" I was all into TheAlarm then, tbh. I liked the earnest stuff ...there was this spiritual void left by TheWho diminishing. A late adolescence in the mid1980s in smalltown NewHampshuh - you'd've wanted Anthems too... Don't know why someone didn't just pin me & shove TheClash's first album in my face. Their records weren't distributed like even the piSToLs' were yet... But TheAlarm are nothing to be ashamed of ...for their part anyhow... They got a new one in fact.
	11:01am Mike W.: This is such a my-late-brother’s song, thanku as ever DJ
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: I seem to playing a lot of records about the Fourth of July today. Must be the spring weather! @Mike W.: Glad it sounds good to you!

	11:02am Hugo (NL): There is a pop quiz round in the subject 'time/date mentioned in song lyrics'
	♥ 11:04am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim from washington @11:02 it was a blast! great weather. great bands. and us. good crowd. overall, great fun. i got a good live recording of our set...
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am sydnius: 🇺🇸🎶
	♥ 11:05am joe: I was there. I still have my shirt from that. Thurston assaulted the photographers in the pit in front of the stage. :)
	♥ 11:07am Feldy: No Chubb Group
	♥ 11:07am Roberto: No underwearing either
	♥ 11:09am Greg from ZONE 5: Nowadays I'm lucky to find half an hour a week in which to get funky :(
	🎸 ♥ 11:10am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Saturday in the Park" by "Chicago" That Chicago song transports me back to my childhood. I was 8. Chicago was played constantly on AM radio.
	11:11am Joe Mulligan 🦀: I saw Meg play in SF last week and only discovered her one week prior from Joe’s interview with her. It helped me understand her background for the show so thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:12am Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:10 Likewise. However, I wasn't eight years old. But you already know that.
	♥ 11:13am Rich in Washington: Ernie Hood was also one of the founding members of KRAB nebula community radio station KBOO. The FCC filing was signed in his living room.
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am sydnius: westinghouse⚡️edison is the best
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am Uncle Michael: Gone Shootin'!
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am drr: by the way, what is next to the moon?
	11:17am beavis: this is cool
	11:18am Mike W.: Oh man, you would think Movietone was aware of this Hood record, they practically cover this song
	♥ 11:18am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:11 Meg was on the outer realm of my attention span, but she really snapped into focus on Joe's show last week. Seen her live the other night was like been plunged into a warm pool of gravy.
	♥ 11:19am Rich in Washington: Ernie's son Tom once played me tape of an incredible jam session featuring him and Airto Moriera that took place in Ernie's kitchen sometime in the 70s.
	♥ 11:19am Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:19 Ernie played zither on several albums by Flora Purim, hence the Airto connection.
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:19 Wow, cool!
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:12 Good morning, Franco! No matter their age, everyone listening to AM radio heard A LOT of Chicago in the early 70s, like it or not.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am tim from washington: Joe - you should get Marisa Anderson on your show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Pleasant, This Garden" by "Ernest Hood" What lovely music!
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: Back witchas, Surfactants!
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Yetz: "You must never watch this tape!"
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am San Pedro Girl: Oh yes, "Grizzly Man." It did not go well for that guy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:24 Right? What a jerk!
	♥ 11:26am Deano de los Muertos: Wow, I watched and used to rent out Grizzly Man to customers a lot during my time at Blockbuster. Never knew Richard Thompson did the soundtrack
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:26 I don't think Herzog is a jerk. Well, not for that anyhow.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Gregolomania: As a print industry professional, I can confirm the term "spot varnish" is correct. 15 points.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: ↳ Gregolomania @11:27 Whew! Thanks, Greg!
	♥ 11:27am Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:23 I know, I know. At my high school all the jocks listened to Chicago and were very voluble about their allegiance. I turned up my nose at those people, but I still liked the song.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am San Pedro Girl: RT never fails to impress. :)))
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Rich in Wading River: A few weeks back, I received a copy of the Grizzly Man soundtrack, on CD, mailed to me from NJ, with no return address. Thank you, whoever you are, but I'm still scratching my head.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:27 Overvhelming fornication. I don't know -- I got a real power-trip vibe off of that part.
	♥ 11:29am Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Grizzly Man" by "Richard Thompson" I haven't seen this in years. I should watch it again. Such and interesting character study.
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am tim from washington: I could be mistaken but I think Jim O'Rourke and Henry Kaiser also played with Thompson on these recordings.
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Grizzly Man" by "Richard Thompson" Compare to NeilYoung doing the DeadMan music ? Could there be an FMUvian who didn't know yet - if the question is should I go see RichardThompson - the answer is always yes.
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:27 It was catchy. That is why they were so popular. Their music appealed to such a broad swath of the culture.
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am drr: ↳ Yetz @11:24 Wow, I never thought of Prefab Sprout as 'cowpunk', but come to think of it they have a lot of Western-themed songs.
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am yerfriendpaul: I’ve been up since 4:15am. I’m feeling a little Grizzly, man. Call and Pledge to give me a little boost!
	♥ 11:31am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:29 i appreciate the way Joe said it, that he was “messing with wild animals in way they should not be messed with”. Sorry for a guy, but I think there’s literally an adage about poking bears.
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:30 That Dead Man soundtrack is truly one of my favorite soundtracks ever. And the comparison to Grizzly Man is apt. (Dead Grizzly Man?)
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Yetz @11:27 One could argue that making "Fitzcaralldo" was beyond jerky.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @11:31 ...maybe even some parity in Films / Themes...
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am Yetz: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @11:31 in the movie one of the locals tells him (it's been a while so this is not verbatim) "There are two rules with bears, one is leave the bears alone, and two is leave the bears alone"
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am drr: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:30 I considered myself "a hater" of Chicago until I was exposed to the very fun videos of Russian/Ukrainian Chicago cover band Leonid and Friends. Now I am an evangelist.
	11:33am paul: ↳ Song: "Faron" by "Prefab Sprout" Haven't heard this in a while. Loved this album. Bought it in London.
	11:33am Fred And Alan: Hello SanPedro Girl. Fred and Alan
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am drr: I mean an evangelist of Leonid and Friends. Chicago is also good, in their way.
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am tim from washington: ↳ Yetz @11:31 One of my prized records is Dead Man soundtrack on vinyl that I picked up when it came out. I know it's worth a lot of money now but I am never getting rid of it. Plus I never get rid of Neil Young records anyway.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:33 Hi Fred and Alan! How are you doing today?
	♥ 11:34am Phin The Hyooman: I just got around to watching the Grizzly Man documentary, because one of my friends just let me know that her father is the coroner in the movie. I still can’t get over the scene of the two grizzly bears fighting. So powerful and hard to watch knowing what happens in the end to Timothy and his girlfriend.
	♥ 11:34am Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:30 I still like the song. It conjures the metaphorical park. Insert whatever park occupies the crannies in your brain.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Yetz: I like Herzog but I'm not here to defend him. He's an intense personality, and he's the director, so of course he's in charge of what goes on in his movies. And he ate his shoe that one time, on a bet. He's OK with me.
	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @11:32 Similar adage about the Hell's Angels - which Hunter Thompson would not heed.
	♥ 11:36am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Yetz @11:34 He was nice and creepy in The Mandalorian
	11:36am Fred And Alan: San Pedro Girl you are wonderful and thanks for your kind words always
	♥ 11:37am mndave: "Boontonierres" - hilarious!
	11:37am Fred And Alan: Weekend at work so busy. They bought like the world was ending
	♥ 11:38am Deano de los Muertos: Bayonnaise
	11:39am Slaboch: re: Warren Storm Fan Club LOL!
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:34 We're in agreement!
	♥ 11:40am Deano de los Muertos: I’m off Monday mornings, and appreciate the mellow. Especially after Clay 😉 I keed
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Brian in UK: Wistful not wimpy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am chris_in_space: "Surface Noise is gentle but not wimpy" is about as perfect a description of the show that I can think of! Well done.
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Yetz @11:34 I'm not against Herzog. I just think his passion med him to make poor, actually fatal, decisions at times.I watched a great documentary about the making of that film., "Burden of Dreams, "directed Les Blank--very good.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am San Pedro Girl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:41 That was directed by Les Blank.
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Yetz: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:42 Les Blank than Frank
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am doctorjazz: More RT! Never enough!
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am San Pedro Girl: ↳ doctorjazz @11:45 Agreed!
	11:47am SeanG: MEKONS!
	11:47am morphe': Thanks Joe ..... and alll ...
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am yerfriendpaul: Handy!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Yetz: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:41 "Aguirre" is really my favorite but I like a lot of his work. Kinski and Herzog were obviously half out of their minds when they made it, but it is (IMO) a great piece of art. I don't think I've seen "Burden of Dreams", I'll add that to my list. Have you seen "My Best Fiend"? (The scene in there with Jagger and Robards is priceless)
	11:48am Andres: Set faders to toggle. Fire!
	11:48am Squeaky Dave: Hi, Matt!
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:37 We always need deli foods.
	♥ 11:48am Feldy: Handy is so very handy
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:48 Yeah, I think my fave as well.
	♥ 11:49am Deano de los Muertos: Thanks Joe and Matt! (Love Weekly Word Blues btw)
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am tim from washington: Man, get Joe to his goal! You can do it!
	♥ 11:49am Franco Twinkie: Mekons - on my pantheon. I was already getting long in the tooth, but whenever they were in my neighborhood, I got out of bed and stood front and center.
	11:49am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Skookil hahahaha
	♥ 11:50am Deano de los Muertos: I think I already hear Belock laughing in the background
	♥ 11:50am Greg from ZONE 5: "Skoo-kull." The H is silent. And the Y. And the first L. And kinda the I.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am Handy Haversack: Just $734 to go! That's one Ann Arbor area code!
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am woodyk: Looking forward to the Ernest Hood album. Thanks!
	11:52am Andres: Bold move making Bad Lieutenant New Orleans and claiming no relation to Abel Ferrara’s film. Just liked the idea of a bad Lieutenant.
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Dano59: I have this Chaps single! ("Who wroat this?!")
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "The Chaps" This is as great as Jon Wayne!
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am yerfriendpaul: Pledge to help Joe meet his goal! Yee haw!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Marley P. Dogg: Is that Groundskeeper Willy singing???
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "The Chaps" Trying to imagine what the studio environment was like for the recording of this
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe, Matt, and all those skating along the surface!
	♥ 11:53am Jeff Golick: Sleaford Moos.
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Yetz: ↳ Marley P. Dogg @11:53 Ha!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am tim from washington: C'mon folks! Pledge that money!
	♥ 11:54am Feldy: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "The Chaps" I ded buy a kelt from a Scot over the weekend
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Uncle Michael: Key change!
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am San Pedro Girl: This is really funny. :D Thanks Joe and Matt!
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:53 Ha ha!
	11:54am Andres: Any bagpipes in the cowpunk?
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe & Matt.
	11:54am Stanley: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "The Chaps" This is fan-bloody-tastic. Greetings for Bonnie Scotland.
	♥ 11:54am Deano de los Muertos: Rah Heid!
	♥ 11:54am Andrea C: I hate Illinois Nazis.
	♥ 11:55am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "The Chaps" This is rowdy. Thanks for the great show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Karl Ward: They really like this Roland guy
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Webhamster Henry: Keep them dogies movin', though they're disapprovin'
	♥ 11:55am Franco Twinkie: Thank you Joe and Matt. You were easy on these weary bones.
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Stanley @11:54 How's the move, Stanley?
	♥ 11:56am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Karl Ward @11:55 I’m more of an Eddie/Cuthbert guy myself
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am tim from washington: Thanks Joe and Matt!
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "Blood on the Saddle" Annette Zilinkanis on this?
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am love2laf: Cheers Joe & Matt, this has been a great kickoff to Monday, much appreciated. Surface noise and 45s, what more can one ask for? Enjoy your day everyone, and savour the joy of Marathon.
	11:57am listener james from westwood: Thanks, lads, and of course pledgers!
	♥ 11:57am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dano59 @11:56 Yes Annette! and my pal Herman on drums.

	🎸 ♥ 9:10am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl Ward @9:05 Karl, it is the beginning of the liturgical WFMU year. Marathon is Carnival and New Year. A celebration of all that is to come and a reversal of the tired order of the world in celebration and song. Great energies are summoned, though they drain throughout the year until Hellraiser is the thinning of the veils, still holy but the antipodes, where the mortal energies of Marathon wear down and must be recharged through sacrifice and fear. In other words: PAR-TAY!
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & Matt. Enjoyable show with Meg Baird last week. As someone on the comments said in the week, it was more like a conversation than an interview.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:10 Is "Party 'til you're pledged out" the holiday motto?

	♥ 9:56am evancuts: I heard a song that wasn't back announced back in 1988--back before the archives when I'd have to make mixed tapes off the radio. I did not hear it again until a few weeks ago. Now I know it was Steve Reich's "It's Gonna Rain."
	♥ 9:56am B R M: Am I crazy to prefer the Marathon shows? 1. DJ Team-Ups are a blast 2. Sense of community expands 3. Strengthens my faith in humanity to see everyone come together to support the station 4. I work at a non-profit and love fundraising Just me?

	🎸 ♥ 9:57am PKNY: ↳ HyperDose @9:52 I've seen Sleep a few times over the past 6-7 years, and I've never seen any group's fans as ravenous for merch as Sleep fans, longer lines for merch than for the bar or bathroom!. Get the Pike fans out there to donate to get some Arik Roper designed shirts, and WFMU will be rolling in dough!
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am love2laf: ↳ B R M @9:56 Hell no, you nailed it. And that's why @Revolution Rabbit should feel no awkwardness, we pull together as a community. And hang out, and love the joy of hanging out and increasing our sense of community. And discovering new wonders, like @Fred and Alan

	♥ 9:59am listener james from westwood: Whitefield Brothers!
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Dano59: ↳ B R M @9:56 couldn't agree more, B R M!. Being a DJ is often splendid isolation, but having a co-host is always more fun
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Erin in TO: Marathon is definitely the best time of the year, no question
	♥ 10:02am HyperDose: ↳ PKNY @9:57 I became a fan of High on Fire before Sleep. Ravenous (and sweaty) fanbase!
	♥ 10:04am Roberto: Full disclosure, there are WFMU DJs I can tolerate better when they're tempered by a co-host 😂
	🎸 ♥ 10:04am Dano59: I haven't done my SFL update pledges yet; can I allot to Surface Noise #1 as a prize entry, or are those separate/extra? (I really need to write to Joe for. this and other questions - longtime listener, first year doing it this way)

	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dano59 @10:04 Dano59: Use the pledge widget or link, pledge what you want to allocate to SN (or whatever show), don't select SWAG, and choose Bill Me Later. In the "memo to office" section, say "Please aim $xx of my S4L amount to [Surface Noise]." That way you can get in the running for pledges. At the end of Marathon, you can send Joe an e-mail with your SWAG selections.
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Handy Haversack: Erin in TO!

	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Mortricia @10:13 Sesame Street! youtu.be...
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Erin in TO: ↳ Mortricia @10:13 It's an old Sesame Street bit. Goes back at least to my childhood in the 80's
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Karl Ward: I am ready to be bummed out
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dano59 @10:13 Joe has yet to complain at me about this method, though I basically live in fear of causing him MORE headaches on top of the baked-in Marathon headaches I'm sure he has to deal with.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am Krys O.: I recall a brief time when texts were allowed, but I don't think that system worked.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am Dano59: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 part of my reluctance to "text" another headache as well
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Erin in TO: True story: The yip-yips terrified me as a child and continue to. I keep hoping Joe's intro will get me over that, but I still kind of shudder every time, after 3 years of regular listening
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am Dano59: ↳ Krys O. @10:16 we once had a little box in our studio that showed DJs live tweets / Twitter feed during our shows. It was too far ahead of its time as we didn't get much of that traffic anyway
	10:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Erin in TO @10:17 Kinda love things that scared me as a little child.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19am Erin in TO: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:18 Oh me too...but the yip yips are deeply disturbing on a fundamental level to me lol
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am Dano59: hmm I'd already clicky-starred this Delines. Maybe thanks to Joe. Fascinating stuff.
	10:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Erin in TO @10:19 ...yerknow - go back to the beginning of Muppets on EdSullivan & stuff - & they'd devour each other - sardonic things ...they weren't Disney then - tho they are now ...not that there's no Spooky in Didney flix...
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:18 ... the Twilight Zone ep with Paul Winchell & a sentient dummy really made me afeared
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Erin in TO: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:21 Muppets were often creepy...like the garbage heap in Fraggle Rock or the ones in Labrynth that take off their heads
	10:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dano59 @10:22 ...OuterLimits ! Course that's what they aimed for...
	10:23am Mortricia: Thanks all. Wild bc I have no memory of the Sesame Street thing and both of us are too old really to ever have seen that as part of Sesame Street (that came on in time for my youngest brother).
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:21 don't forget adult Muppets content on SNL Season 1...

	10:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...speaking of cigarettes - 'JohnnySmoke' an anti-smoking commercial with Expressionist graphix of this masked cigarette cowboy & haunting Morricone type music ...anyway...
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:22 I always confuse the two whenever this memory pops up. I saw fewer Outer Limitses back then than Twilight Zones
	10:25am Mister Dobalina: Good show so far, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:25 it's about his mom, it's with his mom
	10:27am rx scabin: Thank you, Joe and Matt. Good luck.
	♥ 10:27am Franco Twinkie: Good morning Joe. Thanks to you this happened: We went to see Meg Baird/Chris Forsyth this past Friday. Can I just say this - they put on A ROCK CONCERT! There was a mirror ball on the ceiling casting big polka-dots of light on the floor. I got delirious and had to move to the back of the room and sit at the bar. I got so wound up I couldn't sleep that night. Saturday morning I felt like a train wreck. But I also felt like I had an out of body experience. Thanks for the tip.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27am McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @10:24 I can't remember what covers next ... Maybe Puh-teepee-teepee, teep-teep-teepee-teep

	🎸 ♥ 10:31am McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @10:27 .... What COMES next
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am tim from washington: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:27 Franco! That's such an exciting description. I saw Meg's old band, Espers, about 20 years ago. I wasn't really familiar with them when I saw them but they made me a fan.
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am Dano59: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:07 (still confused. Do I hit one-time and not monthly, for, say a 20 or 50 pledge rn? One-time -- round pledges don't seem to fit the square widget here)
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dano59 @10:31 Yes, One-Time
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am Handy Haversack: I am afraid I have to run an errand. But I will hopefully be back before the end of the show. Keep pledging, Surfactants!
	♥ 10:33am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tim from washington @10:31 I'm still trying to get a grip on what happened.
	♥ 10:34am Chris Hiatt: They invented Instagram so folks could show off their socks.

	🎸 ♥ 10:34am tim from washington: Socks are the introverts station promo!

	🎸 ♥ 10:41am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Gotta Dig It to Dig It" by "Charles Stepney" This is some nice Stevie Wonder style funkiness!
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: ↳ northguineahills @10:36 What is a pistaris?
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am tim from washington: ↳ Erin in TO @10:41 You should do it! I'd been wanting to do it for years. Scott Williams was super helpful and acommadating about setting up volunteer schedule slots.
	♥ 10:43am northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:36 now, i have an image of rev rabbit ...uh, nevermind...
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am Jason from Houston: Don't sleep on that Stepney if you don't have it already. The spoken anecdotes are great.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am DjLorraine: ↳ Krys O. @10:38 Neato! My mind keeps writing jokes about checking you out in those socks.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am Erin in TO: ↳ tim from washington @10:43 It's definitely on the bucket list, hopefully in the next year or two
	🎸 ♥ 10:44am Dano59: ↳ Joe McG @10:40 anyone learning of this label out in calling-foul land will want to demand a White International Anthem.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Dano59: ↳ Jason from Houston @10:43 wan't too keen on the track played but I love the title track

	10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sweet Cherry Wine" by "Tommy James & the Shondells" A lot like TheRascals I suddenly think...
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am Dano59: ↳ evancuts @10:51 I always respected the Alarm's politics but they never fit into whatever else I was into in/from the '90s
	♥ 10:56am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Sweet Cherry Wine" by "Tommy James & the Shondells" A hit is a hit.

	♥ 10:59am prof.fuzz: morning y'all happy marathon!
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Saturday in the Park" by "Chicago" Dedicating this to Yetz.
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Stand" by "The Alarm" I was all into TheAlarm then, tbh. I liked the earnest stuff ...there was this spiritual void left by TheWho diminishing. A late adolescence in the mid1980s in smalltown NewHampshuh - you'd've wanted Anthems too... Don't know why someone didn't just pin me & shove TheClash's first album in my face. Their records weren't distributed like even the piSToLs' were yet... But TheAlarm are nothing to be ashamed of ...for their part anyhow... They got a new one in fact.
	11:01am Mike W.: This is such a my-late-brother’s song, thanku as ever DJ
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: I seem to playing a lot of records about the Fourth of July today. Must be the spring weather! @Mike W.: Glad it sounds good to you!

	♥ 11:05am joe: I was there. I still have my shirt from that. Thurston assaulted the photographers in the pit in front of the stage. :)
	♥ 11:07am Feldy: No Chubb Group
	♥ 11:07am Roberto: No underwearing either
	♥ 11:09am Greg from ZONE 5: Nowadays I'm lucky to find half an hour a week in which to get funky :(
	🎸 ♥ 11:10am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Saturday in the Park" by "Chicago" That Chicago song transports me back to my childhood. I was 8. Chicago was played constantly on AM radio.
	11:11am Joe Mulligan 🦀: I saw Meg play in SF last week and only discovered her one week prior from Joe’s interview with her. It helped me understand her background for the show so thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:12am Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:10 Likewise. However, I wasn't eight years old. But you already know that.
	♥ 11:13am Rich in Washington: Ernie Hood was also one of the founding members of KRAB nebula community radio station KBOO. The FCC filing was signed in his living room.
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am sydnius: westinghouse⚡️edison is the best
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am Uncle Michael: Gone Shootin'!
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am drr: by the way, what is next to the moon?
	11:17am beavis: this is cool
	11:18am Mike W.: Oh man, you would think Movietone was aware of this Hood record, they practically cover this song
	♥ 11:18am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:11 Meg was on the outer realm of my attention span, but she really snapped into focus on Joe's show last week. Seen her live the other night was like been plunged into a warm pool of gravy.
	♥ 11:19am Rich in Washington: Ernie's son Tom once played me tape of an incredible jam session featuring him and Airto Moriera that took place in Ernie's kitchen sometime in the 70s.
	♥ 11:19am Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:19 Ernie played zither on several albums by Flora Purim, hence the Airto connection.
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:19 Wow, cool!
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:12 Good morning, Franco! No matter their age, everyone listening to AM radio heard A LOT of Chicago in the early 70s, like it or not.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am tim from washington: Joe - you should get Marisa Anderson on your show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Pleasant, This Garden" by "Ernest Hood" What lovely music!
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: Back witchas, Surfactants!
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Yetz: "You must never watch this tape!"
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am San Pedro Girl: Oh yes, "Grizzly Man." It did not go well for that guy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:24 Right? What a jerk!
	♥ 11:26am Deano de los Muertos: Wow, I watched and used to rent out Grizzly Man to customers a lot during my time at Blockbuster. Never knew Richard Thompson did the soundtrack
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:26 I don't think Herzog is a jerk. Well, not for that anyhow.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Gregolomania: As a print industry professional, I can confirm the term "spot varnish" is correct. 15 points.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: ↳ Gregolomania @11:27 Whew! Thanks, Greg!
	♥ 11:27am Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:23 I know, I know. At my high school all the jocks listened to Chicago and were very voluble about their allegiance. I turned up my nose at those people, but I still liked the song.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am San Pedro Girl: RT never fails to impress. :)))
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Rich in Wading River: A few weeks back, I received a copy of the Grizzly Man soundtrack, on CD, mailed to me from NJ, with no return address. Thank you, whoever you are, but I'm still scratching my head.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:27 Overvhelming fornication. I don't know -- I got a real power-trip vibe off of that part.
	♥ 11:29am Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Grizzly Man" by "Richard Thompson" I haven't seen this in years. I should watch it again. Such and interesting character study.
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am tim from washington: I could be mistaken but I think Jim O'Rourke and Henry Kaiser also played with Thompson on these recordings.
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Grizzly Man" by "Richard Thompson" Compare to NeilYoung doing the DeadMan music ? Could there be an FMUvian who didn't know yet - if the question is should I go see RichardThompson - the answer is always yes.
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:27 It was catchy. That is why they were so popular. Their music appealed to such a broad swath of the culture.
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am drr: ↳ Yetz @11:24 Wow, I never thought of Prefab Sprout as 'cowpunk', but come to think of it they have a lot of Western-themed songs.
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am yerfriendpaul: I’ve been up since 4:15am. I’m feeling a little Grizzly, man. Call and Pledge to give me a little boost!
	♥ 11:31am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:29 i appreciate the way Joe said it, that he was “messing with wild animals in way they should not be messed with”. Sorry for a guy, but I think there’s literally an adage about poking bears.
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am Yetz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:30 That Dead Man soundtrack is truly one of my favorite soundtracks ever. And the comparison to Grizzly Man is apt. (Dead Grizzly Man?)
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Yetz @11:27 One could argue that making "Fitzcaralldo" was beyond jerky.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @11:31 ...maybe even some parity in Films / Themes...
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am Yetz: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @11:31 in the movie one of the locals tells him (it's been a while so this is not verbatim) "There are two rules with bears, one is leave the bears alone, and two is leave the bears alone"
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am drr: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:30 I considered myself "a hater" of Chicago until I was exposed to the very fun videos of Russian/Ukrainian Chicago cover band Leonid and Friends. Now I am an evangelist.
	11:33am paul: ↳ Song: "Faron" by "Prefab Sprout" Haven't heard this in a while. Loved this album. Bought it in London.
	11:33am Fred And Alan: Hello SanPedro Girl. Fred and Alan
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am drr: I mean an evangelist of Leonid and Friends. Chicago is also good, in their way.
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am tim from washington: ↳ Yetz @11:31 One of my prized records is Dead Man soundtrack on vinyl that I picked up when it came out. I know it's worth a lot of money now but I am never getting rid of it. Plus I never get rid of Neil Young records anyway.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:33 Hi Fred and Alan! How are you doing today?
	♥ 11:34am Phin The Hyooman: I just got around to watching the Grizzly Man documentary, because one of my friends just let me know that her father is the coroner in the movie. I still can’t get over the scene of the two grizzly bears fighting. So powerful and hard to watch knowing what happens in the end to Timothy and his girlfriend.
	♥ 11:34am Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:30 I still like the song. It conjures the metaphorical park. Insert whatever park occupies the crannies in your brain.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Yetz: I like Herzog but I'm not here to defend him. He's an intense personality, and he's the director, so of course he's in charge of what goes on in his movies. And he ate his shoe that one time, on a bet. He's OK with me.
	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Yetz @11:32 Similar adage about the Hell's Angels - which Hunter Thompson would not heed.
	♥ 11:36am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Yetz @11:34 He was nice and creepy in The Mandalorian
	11:36am Fred And Alan: San Pedro Girl you are wonderful and thanks for your kind words always
	♥ 11:37am mndave: "Boontonierres" - hilarious!
	11:37am Fred And Alan: Weekend at work so busy. They bought like the world was ending
	♥ 11:38am Deano de los Muertos: Bayonnaise
	11:39am Slaboch: re: Warren Storm Fan Club LOL!
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:34 We're in agreement!
	♥ 11:40am Deano de los Muertos: I’m off Monday mornings, and appreciate the mellow. Especially after Clay 😉 I keed
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Brian in UK: Wistful not wimpy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am chris_in_space: "Surface Noise is gentle but not wimpy" is about as perfect a description of the show that I can think of! Well done.
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Yetz @11:34 I'm not against Herzog. I just think his passion med him to make poor, actually fatal, decisions at times.I watched a great documentary about the making of that film., "Burden of Dreams, "directed Les Blank--very good.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am San Pedro Girl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:41 That was directed by Les Blank.
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Yetz: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:42 Les Blank than Frank
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am doctorjazz: More RT! Never enough!
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am San Pedro Girl: ↳ doctorjazz @11:45 Agreed!
	11:47am SeanG: MEKONS!
	11:47am morphe': Thanks Joe ..... and alll ...
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am yerfriendpaul: Handy!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Yetz: ↳ San Pedro Girl @11:41 "Aguirre" is really my favorite but I like a lot of his work. Kinski and Herzog were obviously half out of their minds when they made it, but it is (IMO) a great piece of art. I don't think I've seen "Burden of Dreams", I'll add that to my list. Have you seen "My Best Fiend"? (The scene in there with Jagger and Robards is priceless)
	11:48am Andres: Set faders to toggle. Fire!
	11:48am Squeaky Dave: Hi, Matt!
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:37 We always need deli foods.
	♥ 11:48am Feldy: Handy is so very handy
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:48 Yeah, I think my fave as well.
	♥ 11:49am Deano de los Muertos: Thanks Joe and Matt! (Love Weekly Word Blues btw)
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am tim from washington: Man, get Joe to his goal! You can do it!
	♥ 11:49am Franco Twinkie: Mekons - on my pantheon. I was already getting long in the tooth, but whenever they were in my neighborhood, I got out of bed and stood front and center.
	11:49am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Skookil hahahaha
	♥ 11:50am Deano de los Muertos: I think I already hear Belock laughing in the background
	♥ 11:50am Greg from ZONE 5: "Skoo-kull." The H is silent. And the Y. And the first L. And kinda the I.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am Handy Haversack: Just $734 to go! That's one Ann Arbor area code!
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am woodyk: Looking forward to the Ernest Hood album. Thanks!
	11:52am Andres: Bold move making Bad Lieutenant New Orleans and claiming no relation to Abel Ferrara’s film. Just liked the idea of a bad Lieutenant.
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Dano59: I have this Chaps single! ("Who wroat this?!")
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "The Chaps" This is as great as Jon Wayne!
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am yerfriendpaul: Pledge to help Joe meet his goal! Yee haw!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Marley P. Dogg: Is that Groundskeeper Willy singing???
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "The Chaps" Trying to imagine what the studio environment was like for the recording of this
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe, Matt, and all those skating along the surface!
	♥ 11:53am Jeff Golick: Sleaford Moos.
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Yetz: ↳ Marley P. Dogg @11:53 Ha!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am tim from washington: C'mon folks! Pledge that money!
	♥ 11:54am Feldy: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "The Chaps" I ded buy a kelt from a Scot over the weekend
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Uncle Michael: Key change!
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am San Pedro Girl: This is really funny. :D Thanks Joe and Matt!
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:53 Ha ha!
	11:54am Andres: Any bagpipes in the cowpunk?
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe & Matt.
	11:54am Stanley: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "The Chaps" This is fan-bloody-tastic. Greetings for Bonnie Scotland.
	♥ 11:54am Deano de los Muertos: Rah Heid!
	♥ 11:54am Andrea C: I hate Illinois Nazis.
	♥ 11:55am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "The Chaps" This is rowdy. Thanks for the great show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Karl Ward: They really like this Roland guy
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Webhamster Henry: Keep them dogies movin', though they're disapprovin'
	♥ 11:55am Franco Twinkie: Thank you Joe and Matt. You were easy on these weary bones.
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Stanley @11:54 How's the move, Stanley?
	♥ 11:56am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Karl Ward @11:55 I’m more of an Eddie/Cuthbert guy myself
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am tim from washington: Thanks Joe and Matt!
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Rawhide" by "Blood on the Saddle" Annette Zilinkanis on this?
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am love2laf: Cheers Joe & Matt, this has been a great kickoff to Monday, much appreciated. Surface noise and 45s, what more can one ask for? Enjoy your day everyone, and savour the joy of Marathon.
	11:57am listener james from westwood: Thanks, lads, and of course pledgers!
	♥ 11:57am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dano59 @11:56 Yes Annette! and my pal Herman on drums.
