Tue. 4/7/09 12:02pm From: SmokinJ

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:02pm From: Mike F.

I'm still doing our taxes after a WEEK. Please play something really awful.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:04pm From: Sean Daily

Third comment! Woo hoo!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:07pm From: G.

You mean like Johnny Cash "After Taxes," Mike? Probly doesn't fit the theme. :-) But you could google the lyrics for consolation...

Tue. 4/7/09 12:11pm From: Sean Daily

This tape will also advise you on the best way to burn those pesky rock and rolling 45s.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:13pm From: Bob

I remember the 'We want to be FREE!" speech from one of the Mudhoney EPs. Where does the original come from?

Tue. 4/7/09 12:13pm From: Laura

It's from some biker movie--possibly The Wild Angels?

Tue. 4/7/09 12:14pm From: SmokinJ

A real man uses his turntable.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:15pm From: PMD

I thought it was Easy Rider.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:15pm From: Cecile

SAINTS. YIS!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:16pm From: Sean Daily

I'd say "Scorpio Rising", except that's silent to the best of my knowledge...

Tue. 4/7/09 12:16pm From: ken in denver

The "We want to be free" spiel is Peter Fonda from "The Wild Angels." Caught it for the first time last night on TCM!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:17pm From: Bob

Awesome! THANKS!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:20pm From: Laura

And if you know any bikers, that bit of dialogue still pretty much sums up their philosophy of life.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:20pm From: Parq

I want to be free to do what I want to do without getting hassled by The Man, but unfortunately, I work for him.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:21pm From: Cecile

hey, Joe, do you have anything from that old Aussie band, the Spikes? They did a great cover of "YOuth of America" called "here in Australia"

Tue. 4/7/09 12:21pm From: rubble

And we wanna get loaded!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:23pm From: SmokinJ

I do... :)

Tue. 4/7/09 12:25pm From: Cecile

Yes, Joe I agree with you. Eternally Yours is a album that's beyond great.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:27pm From: Sean Daily

Has anyone besides me ever wondered how riding a two-wheeled deathtrap like a motorcycle and getting bugs in your teeth equals "living free"?

Tue. 4/7/09 12:27pm From: owen

Yes, Cecile, I agree with you and Joe. Eternally Yours is wonderful.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:29pm From: dc pat

Sean: don't forget "getting loaded" = getting dead.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:29pm From: G.

That's what The f---in Man said, Sean... Screw that! Time to get loaded and riiiiiiiiiiiiiide...

Tue. 4/7/09 12:32pm From: Sean Daily

Well, G., I have questions. And they're questions that make people look at me funny and reach for the torches and pitchforks.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:32pm From: Bob

Hey! I've only crashed my bike once loaded....so I'm living proof that's a lie....alcohol relaxes the body for impact...thus enhancing safety for the rider....

Tue. 4/7/09 12:32pm From: Cecile

You know, Sean, if my husband would let me, I'd totally be riding a motorcycle. I rode one a few times in college, and loved the rush. But always with a helmet on, and not loaded.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:32pm From: dc pat

I always liked the Guess Who version of Shakin' All Over...

Tue. 4/7/09 12:34pm From: G.

I've actually heard people say that in all seriousness, Bob!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:34pm From: Carmichael

Back from meeting to hear Cyril Davies. Yeah.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:37pm From: SmokinJ

Amen Cecile! I've got 100,000+ miles on my bikes and it's safer than listening to this radio show! If you use your brain...

Tue. 4/7/09 12:37pm From: Sean Daily

Sock-a-roo? Flaming Groovies? What is this, Scooby Doo?

Tue. 4/7/09 12:38pm From: Carmichael

Hey Joe,

Since DC Pat mentioned the 101ers on Jason's show, can you play "Key to Your Heart"?

Don't try to work through the logic of that statement.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:39pm From: ken in denver

But SmokinJ, if we wanted to use our brains would we be listening to this show?

Tue. 4/7/09 12:39pm From: G.

If biking is safe enough for Hugh Laurie and his fulfillment insurer, it's safe enough for anyone.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:40pm From: rubble

I just wanna get loaded. I didn't say nuthin' bout drivin' anything!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:40pm From: SmokinJ

You have a point Ken!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:41pm From: RZ

I think it depends where you're riding!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:42pm From: ted

I would like to see the Groovies at the Ponderosa Stomp. Anyone have room on their sofa or floor in N.O.?

Tue. 4/7/09 12:43pm From: Sean Daily

I'm sure riding a motorcycle is a rush. So is getting pushed off a 20-story building. It's the "freedom" part I don't get...

Tue. 4/7/09 12:43pm From: Carmichael

I had a very serious accident on my bike back in the 80s. And I was very seriously drunk, too. Good thing I had a serious full-face helmet on.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:44pm From: dc pat

Right on Carm! What a great song...

Personally I want to get loaded and ride my bicycle. It's funny when you fall off.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:46pm From: Tom

Last year (or was it 2 years ago?) the Ponderosa Stomp also came to NYC ... any idea if that's the case this year?

Tue. 4/7/09 12:47pm From: ted

Its coming here but not with the Groovies.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:48pm From: Carmichael

Righto, Cyril Jordan. NOT Cyril Davies. He had his All-Stars.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:48pm From: Cecile

Carm, I'd never ride drunk, but my husband worries (probably rightly) about the wiping out part.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:49pm From: Carmichael

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're the friggin' MAN!!!!!!!!!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:49pm From: Joe B

Stomp is coming to Lincoln Center in July. No Groovies but the Collins Kids headlining!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:49pm From: ted

I am ready to fly down to see the Groovies but need a place to stay.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:50pm From: dc pat

Cecile: that's why I stick to my bicycle--when you wipe out it only hurts for a little while...

THANKS JOE!!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:51pm From: Cecile

You know, Joe Strummer was this close to being another Graham Parker.
I love Graham, but thank God the Clash happened.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:52pm From: Cecile

Joe, do you have any Sister Ray or Original Sins floating around?

Tue. 4/7/09 12:56pm From: lisa

wow - the SCOTS drummer is AMAZING!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:57pm From: ken in denver

Astronauts! Colorado's own! Whoo!

Tue. 4/7/09 12:58pm From: Carmichael

Cecile, have you heard Parker's version of "The Madness of Love" on the Richard Thompson tribute album? Folk with a bad-ass attitude.

I also recall Dave Edmunds' version of "Crawling From the Wreckage" on Repeat When Necessary.

Man, I have a lot of useless crap like this floating around my brain.

Tue. 4/7/09 12:58pm From: dc pat

right again Carm, I'd love to have seen that Joe + Pogues tour.

SCOTS are great musicians.

Cecile: my favorite album cover is the Original Sins w/ brother whats his face with the gun to his head.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:02pm From: Mudcat

Whoa! I didn't know the Venus 3 did this Soft Boys tune. Why didn't they play it when I saw them last year?

Tue. 4/7/09 1:03pm From: Cecile

I have not heard the Parker, but I love the Crawling from the Wreckage.

Me, too dc pat.

Brother JT. Yes. That's a great one. And the Just 14 single.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:06pm From: Cecile

YEAH-YUH.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:11pm From: lisa

i hated ministry back in the day.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:12pm From: ted

I still hate them

Tue. 4/7/09 1:13pm From: Carmichael

I will soon hate them.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:14pm From: ted

I was the first to hate them.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:14pm From: Al Bobcat

Anybody know whose record, a CD from the '90s, sported a chilling photograph of an early morning (or twilight) on a dock on which three or four goons were tossing a victim wrapped in carpet into the water?

Tue. 4/7/09 1:16pm From: Carmichael

The soundtrack to the Sopranos?

Tue. 4/7/09 1:17pm From: Al Bobcat

Nope. Some band... A regular ol' rock 'n' roll record. But you've got the tone.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:18pm From: Al Bobcat

I failed to mention that I, too, dislike Ministry. And I always confuse them with NIN. But let that have no bearing on my query regarding the CD cover.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:22pm From: nna

sounds like DJ Icepack

Tue. 4/7/09 1:23pm From: Jonathan Steinke

Those kids got something.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:23pm From: dc pat

yeah this is when OOIOO was a little kid...get it?

Tue. 4/7/09 1:23pm From: ?

I'm not a fan, but jesus mighta built my hotrod.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:26pm From: Cecile

so Tommy Keene is playing bass on this?

Tue. 4/7/09 1:27pm From: Joe B

Tommy Keene only in the live lineup so far

Tue. 4/7/09 1:27pm From: Carmichael

There she is again. Sally Crewe ....

Tue. 4/7/09 1:27pm From: Cecile

oh, OK. thanks!

Tue. 4/7/09 1:41pm From: lolcat

I can haz Itchy Chicken?

Tue. 4/7/09 1:42pm From: dc pat

best version of Run Chicken Run, hands down is the Milkshakes.

Tue. 4/7/09 1:45pm From: Anna Anabolic

New Reigning Sound - amazing!!!

Tue. 4/7/09 1:47pm From: jahna

Oooh! Nice! From the new Reigning Sound record! Can't wait 'till it comes out!

Tue. 4/7/09 1:47pm From: Cecile

Hi, Anna! I hope you and the Anabolics are doing well, you had such a great set here last year...

Tue. 4/7/09 1:47pm From: Cecile

me, neither!

Tue. 4/7/09 1:48pm From: Anna Anabolic

Thanks Cecile!! We're gonna be on Pat Duncan's show in Sept...can't wait!

Tue. 4/7/09 1:50pm From: Joe B

September - wow! at least someone plans in advance around here! I'm impressed!

Tue. 4/7/09 1:52pm From: Topkat

Wau Y Los Arrrghs!!!=Cool! I'm comin' into this fray at mid point. I still have to do taxes, I'm gettin' money back. Saw the "Wild Angels" film last nite , too. First saw "The Born Losers" at the inappropriate age of 8. The version shown last nite was a "cleaned up" version. I would not be typing this if I had not been wearing a helmet on an that s-curve back when...Groovies & Ponderosa Stomp-would luv to...lots of time but not enuff $$$. Ministry has it's place as all things do. I built my hotrod...oh yeah, Hi Everyone!

Tue. 4/7/09 1:52pm From: Anna Anabolic

Ha! It's just because we're playing with the Love Me Nots (Phoenix) who are planning their east coast tour now,

Tue. 4/7/09 1:52pm From: jahna

Hey! Thanks, Joe!!

Tue. 4/7/09 1:55pm From: Cecile

Nice, I'll have to keep an eye out, Anna!

Tue. 4/7/09 1:57pm From: jahna

Wish you could be there at the party tomorrow! The other stuff is that Lynne Von of Da WIlly's is playing first with her band, The Von Dells and Chandler from the Raunch Hands is DJ-ing. Oh, and it's free.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:05pm From: M

Wow- lotsa requests played today-- Joe is done for the year at least! Request now or forever hold your peace!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:07pm From: detroitdave

Topkat, saw the Born Losers movies too last nite. What was left out that you say cleaned it up? And Yeah, Ministry and NIN DO have thier place, I suspect not for the over 50 crowd though.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:17pm From: gumby

Born Losers as in Tom Laughlin aka Billy Jack. WOW! That brings me back M1 Garand, white bikini, martial arts as the hope of the hippie nerds. WOW! thanks for those memories!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:19pm From: Parq

Chissabaddamoobah!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:20pm From: Bad R☺nald

Hey Joe if it's not too late for another request, please play "Niki Hoeky" by PJ Proby.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:20pm From: efd

This song makes me miss the Allen Oldies Band.

And the Spittoons, for that matter.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:23pm From: Joe B

we only have bobbie gentry version here

Tue. 4/7/09 2:24pm From: Cyn

Me too Evan. we need to get them up here soon...

Tue. 4/7/09 2:25pm From: Bad R☺nald

You rule Mr. Belock!!!!!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:26pm From: Rubble

Nice segueway Joe!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:27pm From: efd

Cyn, maybe I'll start a Facebook group called "One million strong to get the Allen Oldies Band back to Maxwell's."

Or maybe I won't.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:28pm From: jahna

Oh, wow. That's a dream bill... Todd, if you're reading this, make it so! Allen Oldies Band + The Spittoons!!!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:28pm From: G.

Michael Shelly must have brought his Proby "N.H." in from home last Saturday!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:28pm From: jahna

Evan! Do it! I'll join!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:29pm From: Bad R☺nald

No doubt!!!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:33pm From: Topkat

...you know, now that I really think about it, the inappropriate age was 10 'cos it was '68 at the Franklin Theater in S. Mpls.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:34pm From: Pearly Sweets

2 and a half hour meeting. Unga Bunga I'm brain dead for sure. At least I get the last 30 minutes of Big Joe Belock!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:34pm From: Cyn

Ha! It could work.. if we take donations!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:37pm From: detroitdave

Yeah Topkat, I had vivid memories of movies I saw years back that all of a sudden don't seem as wild as I remembered.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:38pm From: GP

Welcome back to reality Pearly.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:40pm From: Pearly Sweets

Thanks, GP. Couldn't ask for a better show to come back from the mind meld from. It's putting everything back into order.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:41pm From: detroitdave

Oh, and a shoutout to Joe B for another slammin show! It's a can't miss radio show!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:43pm From: Joe B

Thanks Dave! Thanks everyone for listening/commenting. Hard for an uncoordinated bozo like me to respond to all the comments, it's nothing personal!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:45pm From: David Shortell

Didja know Little Steven played that same "The Wild Angels" excerpt on his own program last week?

Tue. 4/7/09 2:45pm From: GP

All we ask Joe is that you keep the records spinnin!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:46pm From: Bad R☺nald

Thank you Joe, I believe you have risen far above and beyond the call of duty.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:46pm From: detroitdave

We're all uncoordinated Bozo's on this bus JB.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:47pm From: Topkat

Kudos, Joe...and ,hey, it's not like yer just sittin' in the studio doin' nothin'!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:52pm From: Cecile

Nice! Maude and Rock.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:52pm From: Rubble

This is AWESOME!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:53pm From: Parq

Aha, I thought that sounded like Bea Arthur. God will get you for that.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:53pm From: Bad R☺nald

Double what Rubble said!!!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:53pm From: GP

Rock,
I remember when gay was...oh never mind.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:53pm From: Cecile

Eddie Duchin. That was some good shit.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:54pm From: Cecile

this is a great pro-drug song, even though it's not supposed to be. LMAO

Tue. 4/7/09 2:55pm From: dc pat

how come everyone else hears stuff before I do? I saw the Eddie Duchin post before I heard the reference.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:56pm From: Pearly Sweets

Wait... Rock Hudson was gay? Gah'faw!

Tue. 4/7/09 2:57pm From: GP

DC PAT, same here..serious lag time on the stream.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:58pm From: dc pat

ah, good--at least I'm not alone..

Tue. 4/7/09 2:58pm From: jahna

Oh, wow. Perfect follow up! And, I think this might be the most perfect country song. I need this for dj-ing.

Tue. 4/7/09 2:59pm From: Mike F.

Streaming: there's always a lag. In fact, if you have the stream on two different computers (one downstairs and one upstairs, like we have here) then the odds are pretty good that even the two streams will be a few seconds apart, and the radio will be way ahead of either of them.

Tue. 4/7/09 3:01pm From: Bad R☺nald

"The Pint of No Return" appears on Paycheck's Bars, Booze and Blondes album.

Tue. 4/7/09 3:08pm From: Jahna

Thanks Bad Ronald!

Tue. 4/7/09 3:09pm From: rubble

great show today, thanks!

Tue. 4/7/09 3:14pm From: ?

this batch of comments has the perfect balance between banter amongst commenters and talking about the show on air. :)

Wed. 4/8/09 12:44pm From: Robbie

That Powerchords record was great. I just ordered it from CD Baby thanks to hearing on your show. Thank you Joe.

Fri. 4/17/09 2:40pm From: Joe

Is the track AIRPLAY by the same Catholic Girls that were around in the 80s?
