	9:06am Heidee: Это великолепно.
	9:07am DJ Guin: @Heidee - poruski?
	9:08am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Morning Joe, love this DakhaBrakha. Lots of Bulgarian womens choral folk is worth a listen if you like this kind of Eastern European vocal style, but I'm sure you know that.
	9:08am Robm: Coming to the surface for some great tunes
	9:08am Heidee: I love google translator, DJ Guin :-)
	9:09am HyperDose: Didn't know that Yipping was a constant I needed in my life, but alas, here I am.
	9:10am DJ Guin: my Russian is worse than my German, but, better than my Polish. Google translate is a bit wonky. Microsoft is pretty good.
	9:10am David (in London): Handy, Count Yeti Bob, Heidee, steveo, Guin, 3M, Marley, Jay, Kevin, Robm, HyperDose et al. So many fine groovers.
	9:11am Son Of Pantz: I'm a whirling dervish
	9:11am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:13am Heidee: Hiya David! Won't stay long but my Monday has upgraded already with all the superb FMU shows. Take care, all, have a lovely week! Do widzenia!
	9:14am DJ Guin: da svedonya, Heidee!
	9:14am steveo: Good morning David. Groovin' on a Monday beforenoon
	9:14am Joe McG: Good morning, radio friends. Thanks for listening in today. Hope your day is OK so far!
	9:15am Handy Haversack: Later on, Heidee! Great start, Joe! I wonder what the old Finnish folk fiddling was like.
	9:15am steveo: fiddles hadn't even been invented yet, HH
	👻 9:16am LastWhiteRhino: What would this world be without "strings" ?
	👻 9:16am Webhamster Henry: Hi Joe and record appreciators. This is a good rainy day set!
	9:16am HyperDose: Always nice seeing you, David. It's tempting to sit in your seat when you're not present, but far be it from me to violate the sanctity of a reserved sign.
	9:16am DJ Guin: @LWRhino - my garrote collection would be diminished.
	9:17am βrian: The heat has relented. Looks like a beautiful day.
	9:23am PNX: Good Morning Joe and assembled ears! Happy to be tuning in from Easton, PA.
	9:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull hey good morning. California wishes it could have rain about now...
	9:24am Phillippe: good morning
	9:24am βrian: My friend who lives in Thetford, VT told me his spring had run dry.
	9:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wait no one mentioned rain ...a little bit up here... yeah looks like June is leveling off maybe...
	👻 9:25am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & warm cats.
	9:26am Strandlund: Listening in Droughtful I-O-A!!
	9:26am βrian: How are the chooks, BUK?
	9:26am TDK60: Morning Joe. Call the fuzz! folk music.
	9:27am Kevin in Ringwood UK: You know, I was just thinking what we need now is some Norwegian or maybe some Shetland fiddling, and up comes this
	9:27am Handy Haversack: I for one applaud the Nordic Fiddlers Bloc strong-arm tactics vis-à-vis NATO and the WTO.
	9:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: βrian - Thetford's just North of me. We may have been over this already...
	👻 9:28am Brian in UK: @βrian, we lost one last week and had to put Claude the seventeen year old cat to sleep. Bad week.
	9:28am Handy Haversack: Oh, very sorry to hear that, Brian. Sympathy and solidarity.
	9:29am David (in London): Phillippe, Rev D, Brian, βrian, TDK.
	9:29am Joe McG: Sorry for your loss, Brian.
	9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes Condolences Brian.
	9:30am βrian: Sorry to hear that. Cats and fireplaces are the core of a home to me. But lately, the AC has been featuring large.
	9:30am DJ Guin: i spent most of my Sunday watching the hoi polloi march their pooches about at the Westminster Kennel Club. could not help asking "Who's a good boy??" everytime a new doggo appeared.
	👻 9:31am Brian in UK: Thanks, folks.
	👻 9:32am Brian in UK: Joe, got to ask. Is the first set each week planned or a spontaneous collection?
	9:33am βrian: I read that as "spontaneous combustion."
	👻 9:33am Brian in UK: Hello David. Phew, wot a scorcher!!
	9:33am Handy Haversack: Sounds a little like "The Ballad of Jesse James" slowed down? Or is it just that that's a waltz too? Really loving this opening set, Joe. Fantastic choices.
	9:34am Joe McG: @Brian: Sort of half and half. I came in with DakhaBrakha and Frigg and this cut and the rest sort of slotted in.
	9:35am Barbara in PA: Condolences, Brian. Joni Mitchell once said that in lieu of children a cat is the heart of a home.
	9:36am HyperDose: So sorry to hear, Brian in UK. My best friend's mother passed away yesterday morning. It was expected as she was bedridden for most of his life, but still bearing the weight of a loss. Sending light + love your way, amigo. ✨🕊️
	👻 9:36am Brian in UK: βrian, funny how we can misread words. When I read uniformed policeman, I always see uninformed policeman.
	9:36am TDK60: Hi London David. Brian, sorry about your feline pal.
	9:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hey if I wanted a bunch of stuff without drums like this I could listen to the local Vermont Public Radio harhar... A good friend is an Irish Trad Piper of some skill. I've been missing some of that from the Old Times. His close collaborator a fiddle player died not long ago - & a flute player we knew as well passed away. Harsh times.
	👻 9:37am Brian in UK: Thanks again everyone. Even though the end can be expected it always catches me looking the other way.
	👻 9:38am Brian in UK: Anyone ever see Heaven's Gate?
	9:38am StringOFperils: David Mansfield! Right, this soundtrack. Funny, I was idly wondering a while ago whether anyone ever plays any of the Alpha Band's material on woofmoo. Maybe not. Could be the core Christian content...but it's some of my fave T-Bone Burnett work. All 3 of those guys are really talented.
	9:39am Strandlund: My condolences, Brian. It's never easy...they are family!
	9:39am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: here
	9:39am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: got the dvd…
	9:39am Joe McG: @String: I think I've played them in the last year. @Brian: Yes, and it's not as bad as its reputation suggests.
	9:39am Rick A: Hi Joe and everyone, thanks for the David Mansfield piece, a great score from a sadly too maligned film. Ry Cooder's score for the Long Riders is similar to this one.
	9:40am StringOFperils: Mansfield appears in that film. They're the band at the barn dance.
	9:41am StringOFperils: Thanks Joe! Good to know. This station covers it all!
	9:42am Krys O.: Condolences to you and yours, Brian. Claude must have been a feline sage.
	9:42am Rick A: I meant to say that Heave's Gate is unfairly maligned: great cast, stunning shots, and compelling story. It's a tad unwieldy though fascinating filmmaking.
	9:43am DJ Guin: anyone ever see Shaft? that Shaft is one bad mother fudger whatchoo mouth! just talkin' 'bout Shaft.
	👻 9:43am Threemoons: @Brian just got off of a work call and catching up in chat, my condolences.
	9:43am listener Rey: Hiya Joe and fans of surface noises
	👻 9:43am Webhamster Henry: Acid Jazz Hands' Bronwyn Bishop is writing a musical based on Heaven's Gate.
	9:44am Irene Trudel: Lovely opening set, Joe!
	👻 9:45am Threemoons: Blarg, sorry I missed the Nordic Fiddling...will have to catch up in the archives later.
	9:45am melinda: @Henry when she said she was doing that I first thought she was talking about the cult.
	9:46am Rick A: David Mansfield also created a great score for Michael Cimino's Year of the Dragon, which is not a great film, rather racist.
	9:47am Handy Haversack: Sounds like a fiddle that wears a dog collar and has a pack of cigarettes rolled up in its sleeve but really has a heart of gold if you can get past that rough shell.
	9:48am Mike W: acka backa
	9:49am Hatfield McCoy: A spike fiddle has a spike at the bottom and is played with the instrument on the floor, like a cello. An ancient instrument still used in the Mideast and South Asia.
	9:49am Krys O.: I saw Heaven's Gate in 1981 in Paris with my sponsor and the two other students that I lived with. It was subtitled in French. I was 17 and a movie geek, but I didn't care for it. We discussed our opinions in the car ride home. My sponsor LOVED it.
	9:50am Joe McG: Thanks, Hatfield, I did not know that! @Rick A: I want to hear that soundtrack, thanks Rick. @Krys: What a place to see it!
	👻 9:51am Brian in UK: Handy, the smokes tucked in the sleeve reminds me of the Paul Le Mat character in American Graffiti.
	9:52am listener Rey: I saw Heaven's Gate when it came out and was mostly impressed by the cinematography though the acting was good too
	👻 9:52am Brian in UK: Le Mat's car had the reg THX 138 which was almost the title of Lucas' first film THX1138
	9:52am Krys O.: @Joe: It was certainly eye candy. I especially loved John Hurt and Christopher Walken, but overall it was a mess.
	9:53am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Ed Dowie is from Wimborne,a few miles down the road from me, which also happens to be where Robert Fripp was born. Probably not a big influence on Ed though...
	9:53am βrian: I associate Heaven's Gate only with suicide. But Gates of Heaven is another thing. "Neutered"
	9:53am StringOFperils: The original cut of Heaven's Gate was clunkier than the one that exists today. I liked it as I recall, but it was hard not to become lost while watching it. Like a Thomas Mann novel that runs off its rails. I think Cimino may have blown up quite a few real horses while making that, which is lastingly terrible if true.
	9:54am Krys O.: I'm guessing what we saw in 1981 was a re-cut version of the film. Perhaps that is why I felt that way about it.
	9:54am Joe McG: @Kevin: I think his new record is terrific.
	👻 9:55am Brian in UK: Nestor Almendros was one fine cinematographer. Days of Heaven is luscious. Two heaven films.
	9:56am Mikula: Best lyric ever: if I could be a biologist instead of a careers counselor... :)
	9:56am listener Rey: Cimino was on a roll having made The Deer Hunter a few years earlier.
	9:56am Krys O.: Lots of claims of animal abuse, String of Pearls. Awful.
	9:56am Joe McG: @Mikula: I liked that one, too!
	9:56am Ike: Sounds good!
	9:56am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Joe, his voice reminds me of Robert Wyatt, or maybe it's Kevin Ayers, but certainly of the Canterbury scene bands, and especially Soft Machine
	9:58am Joe McG: @Kevin: Yes, definitely that fragile but strong, lonely but wistful sound that I associate with Robert Wyatt.
	9:58am Hubig Pie: Oh, that Heaven's Gate. I was thinking about the Hale Bop death cult
	9:58am DJ Guin: Ned Beatty dead at 83. Gene Hackman is in for questioning...
	9:59am dave wuz here: krys o- i saw "point break" in paris when it came out, perfect stupid remedy for my stupid home sickness
	10:00am Hubig Pie: Forever associated with an unfortunate canoe trip
	👻 10:00am Threemoons: Loving this Pretty Boys thing. Getting very early 80's borderline No Wave/Synthwave/Lofi vibes off of it.
	10:02am steveo: paul mcwho? not bad
	10:03am Son Of Pantz: "You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and I won't have it!"
	10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right - Macca III has its own immediate tribute album... why not.
	👻 10:06am Threemoons: And I MUST bookmark this German Synth Wave compo.
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Synth! So - big gittar solo. Like that little trill on horns. Kinda Beatley.
	10:07am Rick A: I heard that there were many versions of Heaven's Gate floating around. I saw it at the Film Forum around seven or eight years ago. I don't think that was the original cut though I liked that version a lot. Incidentally, here is an engaging though unflattering documentary on the making of it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnG-KZwrCxs
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: Is this a David Gates song?
	10:08am Joe McG: @Brian: Would you like butter on your Bread? :)
	10:09am steveo: baby, i'm a want butter
	10:09am TerrDE: ought oh, 70s Housewife music remake, ear plugs inserted...and Good Morning Joe and kids
	👻 10:09am Threemoons: Speaking of movies--go rent RUMBLE (the doc RE Native Americans in rock music). I had the privilege of seeing this fine doc after winning tickets via WFMU when it aired in NYC many moons ago. FANTASTIC and incredibly informative, and of course, great tunes.
	10:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even on laptop spkrs this Eve sounds like interesting Stereo. & clear & stuff... cymbals a few inches above the computer...
	10:11am Joe McG: @Threemoons: I saw at Film Forum, too, and I liked it quite a bit. Interesting perspective!
	👻 10:11am Brian in UK: Has to be butter as long as Lydon is not advertising it.
	👻 10:11am Threemoons: @oe McG indeed, and thanks for the tix back in the day! It was a good night out with a close friend....
	10:12am melinda: Fred's voice has a slightly nasal quality, which I like
	10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes Rumble. I think it would make an interesting compare / contrast with The King 2017 with Elvis as metaphor for the USA. But have I ever actually sat & watched two films together like that?...
	10:12am TerrDE: a fascist regime has made him a moron T-rump support er
	10:13am TerrDE: don't hear enough Fred, thanks
	👻 10:14am Threemoons: @RR Rumble digs into a lot of the things that "you never got taught in school history" thing, along with narrative around the history of post-colonization America as told by the displaced Native populations themselves, as well as their interactions with the enslaved population of America and how it all helped brew up modern Rock n Roll as we know it.
	10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Melinda I cant think of FredNeil without also TimBuckley's debt to him. That would be a difference...
	10:14am Yes: good morning everyone
	10:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Rumble is a must ! & actually something I suspected & wondered about: the First Nations influence on Musics of the Americas as we know them. Which no - one basically never hears about...
	👻 10:16am Brian in UK: melinda, think of Bill Callahan as well.
	10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as Robbie Robertson says in it - the word was - be proud of being Indian - but be careful who you tell...
	10:17am Hubig Pie: This Kass Richards is a hit
	10:19am David (in London): Brian, I felt that way initially, but I softened my position when I learned that Lydon use the fee from that butter ad to fund the recording of a new PiL album outside label control. That seems OK to me really.
	10:20am StringOFperils: @REvRabbit > Good quote, and sadly apropos. The legacy of race-relations up here in the great white north is pretty sad.
	10:20am melinda: @Brian yes
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: David, fair comment. Have you seen that quote from Priti Patel that it is alright to boo England players that take the knee because it is gesture politics.
	10:22am βrian: If you don't take a knee, you can't be knighted, no?
	10:22am StringOFperils: Comedy is not Priti.
	👻 10:23am Webhamster Henry: Yeah! Blippa Nova core!
	👻 10:24am Brian in UK: You could play this on kitchen equipment.
	10:25am Joe McG: Whoopsie! Operator error.
	10:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Geez. Well - I think from the start appreciating Lydon - like Punk itself - was never about automatically agreeing with anyone. It must be rough being a Professional Contrarian. A 24/7 job, right? So - Ive gone back & forth on him. He had said he'd never vote conservative & everyone who didn't;t vote was a fool... One wonders if coming to the USA for a good long while gets to people like him & Morrissey... People tend to vote their wallets, of course... I do remember when Lydon had a TV show briefly - VH1 ?? & he said then he liked Gingrich because he thought differently... An Ant-Government stance... & Gingrich destroyed bipartisan functioning & civil politics. ...Was just saying elsewhere in convo about 'rednecks' : The problem with the Left of course is NeoLiberalism - & the Democratic Party has become so MiddleClass & Bourgeois. Rawk'n'Roll - for example - as much as it aligns largely with Progressive ideals - has a very strong Anti-Bourgeois streak from its very origin story & deep in its DNA... www.facebook.com...
	10:27am Troymo: Love hearing Perrey-Kingsley right when I wake up. Puts the world in perspective.😀
	10:30am Krys O.: FWIW: Neoliberalism is often misused. The term describes Margaret Thatcher and Reagan's economic policies.
	10:32am StringOFperils: Trickle-down Theory is now obsolete hypothesis.
	10:32am TerrDE: Kris don't you mean neo conservative ism ?
	10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KrysO : I will consider that history & context. But - as Democrats have not held the Left & instead back the Crapitalist Oligarchs...
	10:33am melinda: organ yeah
	10:33am Jason from Houston: Niiiiiice...
	👻 10:34am Marley P. Dogg: This is sweet
	10:34am Jason from Houston: I've had my best time y'all at the hole in the wall.
	👻 10:35am Threemoons: @ RR et al the thing about Lydon....is that yeah, maybe he's just being a Pro Contrarian when he came out in support of Trump (!!!) for "representing the people" even if those people were delusional and evil. I don't think he's "really" socially conservative, but has spent too many years getting high on his own supply of "anti-popularity."
	10:35am Pale Son: Neoliberalism is conservatives becoming liberals because they see ways it can further their own free market agendas. Republican and Democrat presidents since Reagan have all been neoliberals.
	👻 10:36am Marley P. Dogg: Important bandcamp update: Next Friday, June 18th (from midnight to midnight Pacific Time), we’re donating 100% of our share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a racial justice organization with a long history of effectively enacting change through litigation, advocacy, and public education
	10:36am TerrDE: as a registered Libertarian who has run for state office twice I must protest against political discussion here. It dampens the good vibes. Snide comments sure , but actual in dept discussion ? there's lots of forums for that
	👻 10:37am Threemoons: @Marley P--thank you for the ping RE Bandcamp; must revisit my wish list for this occasion.
	10:37am Handy Haversack: Word, Marley!
	10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TerrDE - I'm finding this informative, but point taken about forums. Also the playlist is bitchen.
	10:41am herb.nyc: Psst, joe, I got these on Saturday- bee gees, Luk thung, Kevin Coyne & siren, tvzandt, pretenders, Alvarius b, and oh sees. And met Bruce (woof).
	10:41am steveo: excuse me while i run out to chase some kids off my lawn...
	10:41am Son Of Pantz: Sloooowly I turn. Step by step. Inch by inch.....
	10:41am Joe McG: @Herb: Congrats! We were looking for that Alvarius B. CD the other day. :)
	10:42am Mikula: Bessie Smith gives me goosebumps. Unlike anyone else.
	10:42am TerrDE: RR as it almost always is...BTW did you catch Ken's show last week and accept Britney as your Goddess and Ken as her Prophet ? I have
	👻 10:44am Threemoons: @TerrDE I think that the Ken Toxic Show was the crowning glory of WFMU's long and storied history. It summed up the ethics of participatory, freeform radio to a T. I LOVED it. And had a lot of fun during a dark time!
	10:45am David (in London): Oh this is some mighty fine focus pocus, Joe. Love this tune.
	👻 10:45am Hughie Considine: Aw, Sylvia always sends me into orbit. Thanks, @Joe. (And not a single yodel!)
	10:45am herb.nyc: Alvarius B, wanted man. And wanted cd.
	10:45am Handy Haversack: Focus!
	10:45am steveo: speaking of paul, are they quoting lady madonna?
	10:45am djsheilab: Such darkness in that Bessie Smith song. Loved it!
	10:46am Joe McG: @Hughie: Maybe a LITTLE yodel! @Sheila: You Elvira you!
	10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TerreD: I wore out my welcome @ the Ken Show a long time ago - finally exceeding the amount of popcorn allowed to be thrown @ the screen. Enjoy the gift of my absence & the space it provides for everyone else.
	👻 10:46am Hughie Considine: haha! I know, I just caught it!
	👻 10:46am Webhamster Henry: Focus without Hocus Pocus!
	👻 10:47am Hughie Considine: Thijs is why I listen to WFMU.
	10:47am DJ Guin: FLIPPER!!! thanks, Joe!
	10:48am Stevel: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
	10:48am David (in London): From that first gloriously shambolic note this could be no other band.
	10:48am Jason from Houston: HA HA HA
	10:48am DJ Guin: ah ah ah ho ho ho ho hee hee hee match THAT, Bob Dylan
	10:48am seth from muddy creek: WALL OF SOUND All hearts for Flipper
	10:48am TDK60: What's so funny?
	10:49am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	10:49am Stevel: Terrifying single cover.
	10:49am seth from muddy creek: @David - 100%. Cannot confuse Flipper for another
	👻 10:49am Threemoons: Hey, if you are gonna do Flipper, I think we need some Insane Clown Posse here just because.
	10:49am TerrDE: 3 Moons it was truly conciousness altering. Endless repeatation that was both the same yet different combined w the chat overwhelmed both psychological and sociological reality.
	👻 10:50am Threemoons: @TerrDE agreed!
	10:52am Malcolm: despite being a confirmed monogamist i love soul songs about infidelity
	10:53am David (in London): Malcolm, noted. Also: hello!
	👻 10:53am Webhamster Henry: TOTT: Super Kinksy - but Chrissie apparently wrote it herself.
	10:53am PaulRobeson1920: Good afternoon! WFMU Land!
	10:54am Rick A: This is one of my top three favorite Pretenders songs. I had this album in high school. I think it was maligned when it came out though it has this song and "Message of Love" which are two of their best songs.
	10:54am PaulRobeson1920: I’m HIP, I like Music, I love you
	10:55am David (in London): Love her vocals on this. So slouchy. But you have to be really darned good to pull that off.
	👻 10:55am Marley P. Dogg: Great edition of single file!!!
	10:55am Handy Haversack: Totally, David.
	10:55am Roberto: When my band covered Talk of the Town in the early '90s, there wernt no fancy internets for looking up the lyrics. I thought the final verse was "I watch you steal from a distant single..."
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah early Pretenders. Great band & they all died.
	10:57am Roberto: Well half of them died anyway. 50% survival rate.
	10:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Roberto Ha! A band I was in wanted to do Tom Petty's "Change Of Heart"...I ended up cheating by going to a music shop and copying the lyrics out of a book. Tsk, tsk.
	10:57am David (in London): Dagnapit. I can resist the call of the Zoom no longer. Thanks Joe, great show today. Later groovers, so Long (It's Been Good to Know Yuh)
	10:58am Handy Haversack: Later on, David!
	10:58am John Pietaro: You might’ve at least played the Weavers.....😶
	10:58am Malcolm: laters david!
	10:59am Roberto: For some reason we sang "So Long" a lot in elementary school music assemblies.
	10:59am djsheilab: You are on fire today, Joe! So much variety and yet seamless!
	11:01am Krys O.: @TerrDE (10.32) Nope.
	👻 11:05am tim from washington: Hey Joe and everyone! Can I use the bathroom at FMU now?
	11:05am Handy Haversack: I wish we'd have been able to make it on Sat. Maybe next month ... no, we have another volunteer thing July 10. One with a bathroom. One day. One day.
	11:05am DJ Guin: In Memory of Ned Beattie I will watch "Battle of the Network Stars" this evening.
	11:05am Mark Hurst: Thanks, Joe! We're fighting the power again tonight. Couple different topics, should be fun.
	11:07am DJ Guin: @tim from washington - apparently there are other forums for such naughty talk -- don't poke the hornet's nest
	11:07am steveo: enjoyed what I heard; heading your way...
	11:07am Handy Haversack: Bossa Nova Carnival with Mr. C
	11:09am efd: Bossa Nova Carnival playlists: wfmu.org...
	11:09am Handy Haversack: Stay dry, steveo! Hey, efd!
	11:10am Nick Vivid: T2? Seriously? I never thought I'd ever hear this album playing on the radio.. Fantastic prog band
	👻 11:11am tim from washington: @DJ Guin - Opps. I got my browsers mixed up. Thanks for looking out!
	11:11am Jeff in Brooklyn: @Roberto - we sang Woody Guthrie songs in school assemblies as well - Union NJ public school in the mid '60's. I think it was an 'approved' attempt to raise our consciousness a bit
	👻 11:12am tim from washington: What the story with T.2 again? THis is like Bob Pollard living out his prog dreams. How is Don Henley related to this?
	11:12am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Damnit, I switch off for my last conference call of the day, and I missed Bessie Smith!
	👻 11:12am chresti @work: Hi Joe and noise associates! It's a warm 82 @ 8:11 this morning! Just uploaded all the swag cds onto the work desktop!
	11:13am Kevin in Ringwood UK: And Focus! There is a great live version of Sylvia on their 1973 album recorded at the Rainbow in London
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never heard of T.2 ! Jammin'. Almost reminds of BlueOysterCult. Which is pretty 'progressive' for 1970.
	11:14am Joe McG: @tim: Oh he's not, tim, I was just making a singer drummer comparison. Although apparently there are some Eagles on the Eve record I played earlier!
	11:14am TerrDE: Krys ? I don't think even a rabid t-rumper would consider those 2 liberals... BTW I was surprised when Reagan died and Thatcher didn't. I always thought Maggie was just Ron in drag
	11:15am coelacanth∅: weird maybe but it reminds me of hüsker dü
	11:15am seth from muddy creek: Feelin some Spinal Tap in this Track
	11:15am Nick Vivid: This whole T2 album I think is 3 or 4 songs and everything is solid.
	👻 11:16am tim from washington: Got it, Joe! Sorry for listening in a half assed manner. :) This is great!
	11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CAPTAIN BEYOND
	11:18am Joe McG: People tell me I don't ROCK on this show, so this set is going to get HAIRY.
	11:18am Nick Vivid: If I hear some Truth and Janey in this set we are gonna have a serious game of underground psych prog proto metal bingo happening
	11:19am Krys O.: You're playing Captain Beyond! Huzzah!
	11:19am Krys O.: Bobby Caldwell is an amazing unsung musician.
	👻 11:19am tim from washington: I'm riding with RRN and Krys O on this one!
	11:19am Mike Sin: Captain Beyond! Time to get high before noon!
	👻 11:20am Hughie Considine: The early 1970s were captain-crazy: Ride Captain Ride, I'm Your Captain, Captain & Tennille ...
	11:20am Irene Trudel: Love Captain Beyond! I still have the LP with the "winky" cover.
	11:21am Krys O.: LOL, Hughie! Hey, Irene!
	11:21am Kramrellim: Bobby Caldwell played a show at St. Vitus a couple years ago doing a Captain Beyond set. Pretty incredible.
	11:21am TerrDE: Hughie, right! Like vampires today
	11:21am coelacanth∅: Hughie -captain beefhart, captain fantastic ...cap'n crunch
	11:22am Jeff in Brooklyn: The Captain '70's was a promotion from Sergeant” '60's
	11:22am Krys O.: Definition of Neoliberalism: Neoliberalism (or neo-liberalism)[1] is a term used to describe the 20th-century resurgence of 19th-century ideas associated with economic liberalism and free-market capitalism.[2]:7[3] It is generally associated with policies of economic liberalization, including privatization, deregulation, globalization, free trade, austerity and reductions in government spending in order to increase the role of the private sector in the economy and society;[4][12] however, the defining features of neoliberalism in both thought and practice have been the subject of substantial scholarly debate.[13][14] In policymaking, neoliberalism was part of a paradigm shift away from the prevailing Keynesian economic consensus that existed prior to the persistent stagflation of the 1970s.[15][16]
	11:22am Hubig Pie: Kap'n Kangaroo
	👻 11:23am tim from washington: Joe wasn't joking about getting hairy!
	11:24am TerrDE: I had heard of neoconservative. Those 2 clowns were just fascists
	👻 11:24am Brian in UK: Where is Lewis Taylor? He played in a late carnation of Edgar Broughton Band.
	👻 11:25am Hughie Considine: If I may: "Blues Image (of "Ride Captain Ride" fame) never receives credit for its role in ushering in, albeit unconsciously, the great era of what might be called “captain-philia.” As the ’60s slipped uneasily into the new decade, you couldn’t turn the radio dial without running smack into a captain. There was Grand Funk’s “I’m Your Captain,” Neil Diamond’s “Captain Sunshine,” the Doobie Bros’ The Captain and Me, Billy Joel’s “Captain Jack,” and Elton John’s Captain Fantastic, not to mention the Captain and Tennille. (And Captain Beyond, a great stealth supergroup, formed in 1971). Perhaps this profusion of captains, along with what would now be termed the re-trending of Jesus Christ, indicates that young people were looking for a steady, manly force to guide them."
	11:26am DJ Guin: @Hughie - thanks. now I am craving Captain Crunch
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: A precursor of Yacht Rock?
	11:26am Handy Haversack: Let's not forget it was the interregnum between Star Trek and The Love Boat, Hughie. We needed a steady hand at our wheel to guide us through.
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: William Rory Gallagher (/ˈrɔːri ˈɡæləhər/ GAL-ə-hər; 2 March 1948 – 14 June 1995)
	11:26am Jeff in Brooklyn: and then the dream died when we learned that Major Tom was a junkie
	11:27am Son Of Pantz: What about Captain and Taneal?
	11:27am Iversonic: coelacanth∅: Captain Kangaroo
	11:27am DJ Guin: Captain Spaulding for the win.
	11:27am chris_in_space: ...Beefheart
	11:28am JG: The guitar intro on this Taste- I thought Joe snuck in Captain Beefheart at first
	👻 11:28am Hughie Considine: Thanks, @Handy. And hooray for Captain Spaulding!
	11:28am Hubig Pie: Cap'n Kirk for the win All the interstellar girls liked him the best
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: Captain Beefheart was the wild card. Lewis Taylor recorded Trout Mask Replica, I know who cares.
	11:29am Mandrax: This is a RAD set! LOVE IT!!!
	👻 11:30am tim from washington: Oh yeah, Pink Fairies! Don't talk about it, maaaaannn!
	11:30am chris_in_space: @JG I actually thought it was Jethro Tull's "Song For Jeffrey". Remarkably similar slide intro.
	11:30am Nick Vivid: Agreed. This set rules.
	11:30am ?: Capt. Kirk spread space herpes.
	11:31am DJ Guin: If they can make a show about Picard, where's "Star Trek: STDs about Kirk's amorous adventures?"
	👻 11:31am tim from washington: Man, what if Nugent wasn't a dickhead egomaniac (among other things) and played 2nd guitar with Pink Fairies?
	11:32am JG: @ Chris in Space Yes. - I love the Tull Jeffrey songs
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...boldy go where no man has had gonorrhea before...
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...except maybe Nugent...
	11:33am PaulRobeson1920: @Krys O:i would define Neo-Liberaism as- Corporate power exceeding the power of Nation States and replacing colonial relationships with Debt obligations—-Example - Jamaica. Now, that thats out of the way, I’m ready for Soc 101 and 4-6 years of Higher education. Then it’s back to the chain gang
	11:34am DJ Guin: "KHHHHAAANNNN!" - Kirk blaming him for catching chlamydia
	11:34am Rick A: Way back in the mists of WFMU history, Tom Scharpling used to begin his show with a Pink Fairies song. It was appropriately rockin as is "The Snake".
	11:34am Kevin in Ringwood UK: @chris_in_space - I love A Song for Jeffrey, and the whole of the This Was album in fact. Wore out my cassette copy
	👻 11:35am Brian in UK: Joe, time warping set.
	11:35am Kramrellim: Sir Lord Baltimore played at my high school and I missed it because of a family vacation.
	👻 11:36am tim from washington: Joe - If you keep this up you're going to get suspended from the station again. These jams are extremely conducive to smoking industrial sized blunts and flashing James Gang signs. (that's where you put your extended index finger below your nose to signiify a mustashio.
	👻 11:36am Hughie Considine: Maybe Joe will play "The Clap" by Yes
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think Sir Lord was @ least approaching SpeedMetal before JudasPriest...
	11:36am coelacanth∅: your parents should've postponed the vacation
	11:36am Alvy Singer: Nailing it with the amphetamine rock Joe.
	11:37am Joe McG: My hair is growing and my knuckles are starting to drag on the floor, so this is working.
	11:37am Listening Out There: Got a haircut over the weekend. Should have waited, to have the big hair to go with today's SN...
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: Kevin the cover of This Was is a strange precursor of the Band's second album cover.
	11:38am Rachel Bo Bachel: Lovin the heavy sound JMcG!
	👻 11:39am John L: I loved Jethro Tull when I was a kid but disowned them when I was in college and sometime thereafter. Now I fully embrace the first few; I think they really, um, stand up.
	11:39am Krys O.: And the Groundhogs!? Awesome....
	11:39am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Not familiar with that Band album, will look it up. The This Was cover also unwittingly predicts Ian Anderson's status as an elder statesman of rock decades later
	11:39am Handy Haversack: Rachel! Great set, Joe! I just grew three more mustaches! Gotta go some some cat food and tofu, but this set will make it a power move all the way! Thanks for all, Joe. Laters on, pals.
	👻 11:39am Hughie Considine: Once Ian Anderson ditched the trench coat and started sporting 17th-century duds, things went steadily downhill.
	11:40am coelacanth∅: Jethro Tull was adequately above the heads of the critics that they called it juvenile
	11:40am Kramrellim: @coelacanth∅ - I agree. I never did forgive my parents for that one.
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: See you, Handy.
	11:40am ChukAmok: Joe McG's super hits of the '70's and beeeeeeyyyyoooooond.
	👻 11:41am chresti @work: Blue Cheer
	11:41am coelacanth∅: take care Handy
	11:41am Mike tp: Joe stellar picks.nice change of pace .....sir lord ta boot Edgar n captain and much more...
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: No, not Blodwyn Pig.
	11:41am Kevin in Ringwood UK: @John L, completely agree. I don't really like anything later than Heavy Horses. By the '80s Anderson just sounded like Beefheart to me
	11:42am Krys O.: I'd say yes to Blodwyn Pig.
	11:42am TonyR: I liked Tull as a kid. Even saw them live in '75. Then the streaming revolution came, I visited a few old corners for old times' sakem , and I found JT aged aggressively unwell.
	11:42am Rachel Bo Bachel: Hey Handy, lol re: cat food and tofu “power move”!
	👻 11:42am tim from washington: Joe just went from Andy Travis to Dr Johnny Fever.
	11:42am coelacanth∅: Kramrellim my parents didn't say much but that led zeppelin was juvenile...which it was! my mom hated Hendrix though
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: Krys O, loved the first album cover.
	11:43am Krys O.: Ian Anderson would show up in Cat Fancy magazine when I subscribed. He loves Bengal Cats.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just kinda forgot about Tull. Then one episode of SubGenius Hour he just played old tracks like this - & 'Oh God' by Tull - &, wull hell yeah...
	11:44am TonyR: Does he soothe them with his flute?
	11:44am Kramrellim: Ian Anderson's voice is shot these days. And I'd say yes to Blodwyn Pig too.
	11:44am Krys O.: Ian Anderson on kitties: jethrotull.com...
	11:45am Rick A: Is Sabbath anywhere in the offerings of would that be too mainstream a move? I feel like the spirit of Sabbath hovers through this set.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho' did see Tull in a 60s Revisited kinda package show - & they seemed quite viable, not nostalgia. Also saw JackBruce there, thankfully.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CHEER
	👻 11:46am tim from washington: I'm imagining Joe Belock pulling records while listening to this set, then refiling them, turning around and heading home!
	11:46am coelacanth∅: Anderson become a caricature of himself really quickly, and had/has some stupid opinions...not even close to those of, say, johnny lydon
	11:46am ?: @timfw james gang signs! u win interthingie concept of the day so far great set selecter @joemcg
	11:46am TonyR: "Rock Music Report" did not prepare me for this set.
	👻 11:46am chresti @work: Yay!!
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: chresti, are you reading the tea leaves?
	11:47am johnk77: ? is me
	11:47am coelacanth∅: good job chresti!
	11:47am chris_in_space: What a set!
	11:48am Troymo: Hell yeah! Blue Cheer!
	👻 11:48am chresti @work: Logic, just logic..
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Great work, Joe. Thanks for all you do.
	👻 11:48am John L: I recently found a mint copy of Tull's Benefit in a five dollar bin and felt a pang of nostalgia. I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Not sure I need much after that. Anderson produced a Steeleye Span LP and that was my teenage gateway into British folk rock. From there I got into Pentangle/Bert Jansch, June Tabor, The Watersons, etc, so I have to give him a bit of credit there.
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: Alvin, play until your fingers bleed.
	11:49am coelacanth∅: woodstock version!
	👻 11:50am chresti @work: Stacks of Marshall amps gets the job done!
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Woodchopper's Ball' mighta been Surface Noise stylee ? :D ...
	11:50am kev: getting a little crazy Joe
	11:50am Krys O.: I could name that tune in 3 seconds! My brother and cousins listened to Ten Years After a lot. I was raised on it too.
	👻 11:50am chresti @work: Thanks Joe!
	11:50am Matt Fiveash: Ten Beers After!
	11:50am Joe B: @tim - getting in my car now ...
	11:51am Joe McG: @RRNov63: It was a toss up, but since I am "going home," sort of, this one seemed about right.
	11:51am Krys O.: Excellent show, as always, Joe!
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have said that we didn't learn Gittar only from the yARdbiRdS - yerknow...
	11:51am Joe McG: Quick Matt, name all the songs he puts in his medley!
	11:52am Joe B: i thought this was long until i made the mistake of trying to listen to the grateful dead's closing tune at woodstock
	11:52am coelacanth∅: haha
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as abuse as AlvinLee is for 'sloppiness'...
	11:52am Gerry from Miami: This Woodstock performance is etched in stone.
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's got Feel & stuff.
	11:54am TonyR: Anybody remember the "Law & order" where the criminal was a classic rock guy who played Woodstock? Jeff Goldblum reads him for filth at the arrest: "You left your audiences wanting LESS!"
	11:54am Joe McG: I listened to this 100 times when I was a teenager. That accounts for the adult damage. I never played it on the radio, I don't think, so this is fun.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Garcia : ...'We always blow the big ones'...
	11:55am TonyR: Yeah, haven't heard it since I played the vinyl as a teen.
	11:55am dave wuz here: stand in the mud without a shirt on for full effect
	11:55am Matt Fiveash: If you close your eyes during the solos it's almost like being at guitar center without leaving home
	11:55am Joe McG: The hippies keep very good time and they don't stop!
	11:55am TonyR: THREE LPs! a "Side six", which blew my mind.
	👻 11:56am tim from washington: I loved the Woodstock performance of this. I haven't found anything else by ALvin Lee that floats my boat though.
	11:56am Dano59: With this 'Hogfat'-like set you are perilously close to the edge of taste, @Joe. They definitely love this stuff in Syracuse / central NY though!
	11:56am Rachel Bo Bachel: Krys O. I subscribed to “Horse Illustrated” magazine and I used to see ads for Cat Fancy!
	11:56am coelacanth∅: that's true Joe. it wouldn't work now
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we wanna play our Gittars ...without being hassled by Thuh Man - !!...
	11:57am Matt Fiveash: Joe McG- they really do! And on the 2's and 4's no less!
	11:57am Son Of Pantz: It's no Sha Na Na, but it's pretty good.
	11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Have a great week and see you next time.
	👻 11:57am tim from washington: Excellent set, Joe! Thanks so much. The transmitter and your newly grown split ends are duly fried!
	11:58am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Joe, the show today has been outstanding, thank you.
	11:58am TonyR: Joe B. waltzes in and runs though the record library like the Tasmanian Devil.
	11:58am coelacanth∅: ten years after live version of "crossroads" is about the best brit blues rock out there
	11:58am Dano59: honestly, everything at the start of the set did sound like Foghat to me.
	11:58am Hubig Pie: Massive elbow flying fest inserted here
	11:58am Michael 98145: wake-up time on the left coast
	11:59am radioronan: Thanks Joe!
	11:59am PaulRobeson1920: Thanks Joe & Crew! Peace& LoVe Ya’ll!
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY DJ JoeMcG !
	12:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe!

	👻 9:16am LastWhiteRhino: What would this world be without "strings" ?
	👻 9:16am Webhamster Henry: Hi Joe and record appreciators. This is a good rainy day set!
	9:16am HyperDose: Always nice seeing you, David. It's tempting to sit in your seat when you're not present, but far be it from me to violate the sanctity of a reserved sign.
	9:16am DJ Guin: @LWRhino - my garrote collection would be diminished.
	9:17am βrian: The heat has relented. Looks like a beautiful day.
	9:23am PNX: Good Morning Joe and assembled ears! Happy to be tuning in from Easton, PA.
	9:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull hey good morning. California wishes it could have rain about now...
	9:24am Phillippe: good morning
	9:24am βrian: My friend who lives in Thetford, VT told me his spring had run dry.
	9:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wait no one mentioned rain ...a little bit up here... yeah looks like June is leveling off maybe...
	👻 9:25am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & warm cats.
	9:26am Strandlund: Listening in Droughtful I-O-A!!
	9:26am βrian: How are the chooks, BUK?
	9:26am TDK60: Morning Joe. Call the fuzz! folk music.
	9:27am Kevin in Ringwood UK: You know, I was just thinking what we need now is some Norwegian or maybe some Shetland fiddling, and up comes this
	9:27am Handy Haversack: I for one applaud the Nordic Fiddlers Bloc strong-arm tactics vis-à-vis NATO and the WTO.
	9:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: βrian - Thetford's just North of me. We may have been over this already...
	👻 9:28am Brian in UK: @βrian, we lost one last week and had to put Claude the seventeen year old cat to sleep. Bad week.
	9:28am Handy Haversack: Oh, very sorry to hear that, Brian. Sympathy and solidarity.
	9:29am David (in London): Phillippe, Rev D, Brian, βrian, TDK.
	9:29am Joe McG: Sorry for your loss, Brian.
	9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes Condolences Brian.
	9:30am βrian: Sorry to hear that. Cats and fireplaces are the core of a home to me. But lately, the AC has been featuring large.
	9:30am DJ Guin: i spent most of my Sunday watching the hoi polloi march their pooches about at the Westminster Kennel Club. could not help asking "Who's a good boy??" everytime a new doggo appeared.
	👻 9:31am Brian in UK: Thanks, folks.
	👻 9:32am Brian in UK: Joe, got to ask. Is the first set each week planned or a spontaneous collection?
	9:33am βrian: I read that as "spontaneous combustion."
	👻 9:33am Brian in UK: Hello David. Phew, wot a scorcher!!
	9:33am Handy Haversack: Sounds a little like "The Ballad of Jesse James" slowed down? Or is it just that that's a waltz too? Really loving this opening set, Joe. Fantastic choices.
	9:34am Joe McG: @Brian: Sort of half and half. I came in with DakhaBrakha and Frigg and this cut and the rest sort of slotted in.
	9:35am Barbara in PA: Condolences, Brian. Joni Mitchell once said that in lieu of children a cat is the heart of a home.
	9:36am HyperDose: So sorry to hear, Brian in UK. My best friend's mother passed away yesterday morning. It was expected as she was bedridden for most of his life, but still bearing the weight of a loss. Sending light + love your way, amigo. ✨🕊️
	👻 9:36am Brian in UK: βrian, funny how we can misread words. When I read uniformed policeman, I always see uninformed policeman.
	9:36am TDK60: Hi London David. Brian, sorry about your feline pal.
	9:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hey if I wanted a bunch of stuff without drums like this I could listen to the local Vermont Public Radio harhar... A good friend is an Irish Trad Piper of some skill. I've been missing some of that from the Old Times. His close collaborator a fiddle player died not long ago - & a flute player we knew as well passed away. Harsh times.
	👻 9:37am Brian in UK: Thanks again everyone. Even though the end can be expected it always catches me looking the other way.
	👻 9:38am Brian in UK: Anyone ever see Heaven's Gate?
	9:38am StringOFperils: David Mansfield! Right, this soundtrack. Funny, I was idly wondering a while ago whether anyone ever plays any of the Alpha Band's material on woofmoo. Maybe not. Could be the core Christian content...but it's some of my fave T-Bone Burnett work. All 3 of those guys are really talented.
	9:39am Strandlund: My condolences, Brian. It's never easy...they are family!
	9:39am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: here
	9:39am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: got the dvd…
	9:39am Joe McG: @String: I think I've played them in the last year. @Brian: Yes, and it's not as bad as its reputation suggests.
	9:39am Rick A: Hi Joe and everyone, thanks for the David Mansfield piece, a great score from a sadly too maligned film. Ry Cooder's score for the Long Riders is similar to this one.
	9:40am StringOFperils: Mansfield appears in that film. They're the band at the barn dance.
	9:41am StringOFperils: Thanks Joe! Good to know. This station covers it all!
	9:42am Krys O.: Condolences to you and yours, Brian. Claude must have been a feline sage.
	9:42am Rick A: I meant to say that Heave's Gate is unfairly maligned: great cast, stunning shots, and compelling story. It's a tad unwieldy though fascinating filmmaking.
	9:43am DJ Guin: anyone ever see Shaft? that Shaft is one bad mother fudger whatchoo mouth! just talkin' 'bout Shaft.
	👻 9:43am Threemoons: @Brian just got off of a work call and catching up in chat, my condolences.
	9:43am listener Rey: Hiya Joe and fans of surface noises
	👻 9:43am Webhamster Henry: Acid Jazz Hands' Bronwyn Bishop is writing a musical based on Heaven's Gate.
	9:44am Irene Trudel: Lovely opening set, Joe!
	👻 9:45am Threemoons: Blarg, sorry I missed the Nordic Fiddling...will have to catch up in the archives later.
	9:45am melinda: @Henry when she said she was doing that I first thought she was talking about the cult.
	9:46am Rick A: David Mansfield also created a great score for Michael Cimino's Year of the Dragon, which is not a great film, rather racist.
	9:47am Handy Haversack: Sounds like a fiddle that wears a dog collar and has a pack of cigarettes rolled up in its sleeve but really has a heart of gold if you can get past that rough shell.
	9:48am Mike W: acka backa
	9:49am Hatfield McCoy: A spike fiddle has a spike at the bottom and is played with the instrument on the floor, like a cello. An ancient instrument still used in the Mideast and South Asia.
	9:49am Krys O.: I saw Heaven's Gate in 1981 in Paris with my sponsor and the two other students that I lived with. It was subtitled in French. I was 17 and a movie geek, but I didn't care for it. We discussed our opinions in the car ride home. My sponsor LOVED it.
	9:50am Joe McG: Thanks, Hatfield, I did not know that! @Rick A: I want to hear that soundtrack, thanks Rick. @Krys: What a place to see it!
	👻 9:51am Brian in UK: Handy, the smokes tucked in the sleeve reminds me of the Paul Le Mat character in American Graffiti.
	9:52am listener Rey: I saw Heaven's Gate when it came out and was mostly impressed by the cinematography though the acting was good too
	👻 9:52am Brian in UK: Le Mat's car had the reg THX 138 which was almost the title of Lucas' first film THX1138
	9:52am Krys O.: @Joe: It was certainly eye candy. I especially loved John Hurt and Christopher Walken, but overall it was a mess.
	9:53am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Ed Dowie is from Wimborne,a few miles down the road from me, which also happens to be where Robert Fripp was born. Probably not a big influence on Ed though...
	9:53am βrian: I associate Heaven's Gate only with suicide. But Gates of Heaven is another thing. "Neutered"
	9:53am StringOFperils: The original cut of Heaven's Gate was clunkier than the one that exists today. I liked it as I recall, but it was hard not to become lost while watching it. Like a Thomas Mann novel that runs off its rails. I think Cimino may have blown up quite a few real horses while making that, which is lastingly terrible if true.
	9:54am Krys O.: I'm guessing what we saw in 1981 was a re-cut version of the film. Perhaps that is why I felt that way about it.
	9:54am Joe McG: @Kevin: I think his new record is terrific.
	👻 9:55am Brian in UK: Nestor Almendros was one fine cinematographer. Days of Heaven is luscious. Two heaven films.
	9:56am Mikula: Best lyric ever: if I could be a biologist instead of a careers counselor... :)
	9:56am listener Rey: Cimino was on a roll having made The Deer Hunter a few years earlier.
	9:56am Krys O.: Lots of claims of animal abuse, String of Pearls. Awful.
	9:56am Joe McG: @Mikula: I liked that one, too!
	9:56am Ike: Sounds good!
	9:56am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Joe, his voice reminds me of Robert Wyatt, or maybe it's Kevin Ayers, but certainly of the Canterbury scene bands, and especially Soft Machine
	9:58am Joe McG: @Kevin: Yes, definitely that fragile but strong, lonely but wistful sound that I associate with Robert Wyatt.
	9:58am Hubig Pie: Oh, that Heaven's Gate. I was thinking about the Hale Bop death cult
	9:58am DJ Guin: Ned Beatty dead at 83. Gene Hackman is in for questioning...
	9:59am dave wuz here: krys o- i saw "point break" in paris when it came out, perfect stupid remedy for my stupid home sickness
	10:00am Hubig Pie: Forever associated with an unfortunate canoe trip
	👻 10:00am Threemoons: Loving this Pretty Boys thing. Getting very early 80's borderline No Wave/Synthwave/Lofi vibes off of it.
	10:02am steveo: paul mcwho? not bad
	10:03am Son Of Pantz: "You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and I won't have it!"
	10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right - Macca III has its own immediate tribute album... why not.
	👻 10:06am Threemoons: And I MUST bookmark this German Synth Wave compo.
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Synth! So - big gittar solo. Like that little trill on horns. Kinda Beatley.
	10:07am Rick A: I heard that there were many versions of Heaven's Gate floating around. I saw it at the Film Forum around seven or eight years ago. I don't think that was the original cut though I liked that version a lot. Incidentally, here is an engaging though unflattering documentary on the making of it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnG-KZwrCxs
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: Is this a David Gates song?
	10:08am Joe McG: @Brian: Would you like butter on your Bread? :)
	10:09am steveo: baby, i'm a want butter
	10:09am TerrDE: ought oh, 70s Housewife music remake, ear plugs inserted...and Good Morning Joe and kids
	👻 10:09am Threemoons: Speaking of movies--go rent RUMBLE (the doc RE Native Americans in rock music). I had the privilege of seeing this fine doc after winning tickets via WFMU when it aired in NYC many moons ago. FANTASTIC and incredibly informative, and of course, great tunes.
	10:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even on laptop spkrs this Eve sounds like interesting Stereo. & clear & stuff... cymbals a few inches above the computer...
	10:11am Joe McG: @Threemoons: I saw at Film Forum, too, and I liked it quite a bit. Interesting perspective!
	👻 10:11am Brian in UK: Has to be butter as long as Lydon is not advertising it.
	👻 10:11am Threemoons: @oe McG indeed, and thanks for the tix back in the day! It was a good night out with a close friend....
	10:12am melinda: Fred's voice has a slightly nasal quality, which I like
	10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes Rumble. I think it would make an interesting compare / contrast with The King 2017 with Elvis as metaphor for the USA. But have I ever actually sat & watched two films together like that?...
	10:12am TerrDE: a fascist regime has made him a moron T-rump support er
	10:13am TerrDE: don't hear enough Fred, thanks
	👻 10:14am Threemoons: @RR Rumble digs into a lot of the things that "you never got taught in school history" thing, along with narrative around the history of post-colonization America as told by the displaced Native populations themselves, as well as their interactions with the enslaved population of America and how it all helped brew up modern Rock n Roll as we know it.
	10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Melinda I cant think of FredNeil without also TimBuckley's debt to him. That would be a difference...
	10:14am Yes: good morning everyone
	10:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Rumble is a must ! & actually something I suspected & wondered about: the First Nations influence on Musics of the Americas as we know them. Which no - one basically never hears about...
	👻 10:16am Brian in UK: melinda, think of Bill Callahan as well.
	10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as Robbie Robertson says in it - the word was - be proud of being Indian - but be careful who you tell...
	10:17am Hubig Pie: This Kass Richards is a hit
	10:19am David (in London): Brian, I felt that way initially, but I softened my position when I learned that Lydon use the fee from that butter ad to fund the recording of a new PiL album outside label control. That seems OK to me really.
	10:20am StringOFperils: @REvRabbit > Good quote, and sadly apropos. The legacy of race-relations up here in the great white north is pretty sad.
	10:20am melinda: @Brian yes
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: David, fair comment. Have you seen that quote from Priti Patel that it is alright to boo England players that take the knee because it is gesture politics.
	10:22am βrian: If you don't take a knee, you can't be knighted, no?
	10:22am StringOFperils: Comedy is not Priti.
	👻 10:23am Webhamster Henry: Yeah! Blippa Nova core!
	👻 10:24am Brian in UK: You could play this on kitchen equipment.
	10:25am Joe McG: Whoopsie! Operator error.
	10:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Geez. Well - I think from the start appreciating Lydon - like Punk itself - was never about automatically agreeing with anyone. It must be rough being a Professional Contrarian. A 24/7 job, right? So - Ive gone back & forth on him. He had said he'd never vote conservative & everyone who didn't;t vote was a fool... One wonders if coming to the USA for a good long while gets to people like him & Morrissey... People tend to vote their wallets, of course... I do remember when Lydon had a TV show briefly - VH1 ?? & he said then he liked Gingrich because he thought differently... An Ant-Government stance... & Gingrich destroyed bipartisan functioning & civil politics. ...Was just saying elsewhere in convo about 'rednecks' : The problem with the Left of course is NeoLiberalism - & the Democratic Party has become so MiddleClass & Bourgeois. Rawk'n'Roll - for example - as much as it aligns largely with Progressive ideals - has a very strong Anti-Bourgeois streak from its very origin story & deep in its DNA... www.facebook.com...
	10:27am Troymo: Love hearing Perrey-Kingsley right when I wake up. Puts the world in perspective.😀
	10:30am Krys O.: FWIW: Neoliberalism is often misused. The term describes Margaret Thatcher and Reagan's economic policies.
	10:32am StringOFperils: Trickle-down Theory is now obsolete hypothesis.
	10:32am TerrDE: Kris don't you mean neo conservative ism ?
	10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KrysO : I will consider that history & context. But - as Democrats have not held the Left & instead back the Crapitalist Oligarchs...
	10:33am melinda: organ yeah
	10:33am Jason from Houston: Niiiiiice...
	👻 10:34am Marley P. Dogg: This is sweet
	10:34am Jason from Houston: I've had my best time y'all at the hole in the wall.
	👻 10:35am Threemoons: @ RR et al the thing about Lydon....is that yeah, maybe he's just being a Pro Contrarian when he came out in support of Trump (!!!) for "representing the people" even if those people were delusional and evil. I don't think he's "really" socially conservative, but has spent too many years getting high on his own supply of "anti-popularity."
	10:35am Pale Son: Neoliberalism is conservatives becoming liberals because they see ways it can further their own free market agendas. Republican and Democrat presidents since Reagan have all been neoliberals.
	👻 10:36am Marley P. Dogg: Important bandcamp update: Next Friday, June 18th (from midnight to midnight Pacific Time), we’re donating 100% of our share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a racial justice organization with a long history of effectively enacting change through litigation, advocacy, and public education
	10:36am TerrDE: as a registered Libertarian who has run for state office twice I must protest against political discussion here. It dampens the good vibes. Snide comments sure , but actual in dept discussion ? there's lots of forums for that
	👻 10:37am Threemoons: @Marley P--thank you for the ping RE Bandcamp; must revisit my wish list for this occasion.
	10:37am Handy Haversack: Word, Marley!
	10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TerrDE - I'm finding this informative, but point taken about forums. Also the playlist is bitchen.
	10:41am herb.nyc: Psst, joe, I got these on Saturday- bee gees, Luk thung, Kevin Coyne & siren, tvzandt, pretenders, Alvarius b, and oh sees. And met Bruce (woof).
	10:41am steveo: excuse me while i run out to chase some kids off my lawn...
	10:41am Son Of Pantz: Sloooowly I turn. Step by step. Inch by inch.....
	10:41am Joe McG: @Herb: Congrats! We were looking for that Alvarius B. CD the other day. :)
	10:42am Mikula: Bessie Smith gives me goosebumps. Unlike anyone else.
	10:42am TerrDE: RR as it almost always is...BTW did you catch Ken's show last week and accept Britney as your Goddess and Ken as her Prophet ? I have
	👻 10:44am Threemoons: @TerrDE I think that the Ken Toxic Show was the crowning glory of WFMU's long and storied history. It summed up the ethics of participatory, freeform radio to a T. I LOVED it. And had a lot of fun during a dark time!
	10:45am David (in London): Oh this is some mighty fine focus pocus, Joe. Love this tune.
	👻 10:45am Hughie Considine: Aw, Sylvia always sends me into orbit. Thanks, @Joe. (And not a single yodel!)
	10:45am herb.nyc: Alvarius B, wanted man. And wanted cd.
	10:45am Handy Haversack: Focus!
	10:45am steveo: speaking of paul, are they quoting lady madonna?
	10:45am djsheilab: Such darkness in that Bessie Smith song. Loved it!
	10:46am Joe McG: @Hughie: Maybe a LITTLE yodel! @Sheila: You Elvira you!
	10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TerreD: I wore out my welcome @ the Ken Show a long time ago - finally exceeding the amount of popcorn allowed to be thrown @ the screen. Enjoy the gift of my absence & the space it provides for everyone else.
	👻 10:46am Hughie Considine: haha! I know, I just caught it!
	👻 10:46am Webhamster Henry: Focus without Hocus Pocus!
	👻 10:47am Hughie Considine: Thijs is why I listen to WFMU.
	10:47am DJ Guin: FLIPPER!!! thanks, Joe!
	10:48am Stevel: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
	10:48am David (in London): From that first gloriously shambolic note this could be no other band.
	10:48am Jason from Houston: HA HA HA
	10:48am DJ Guin: ah ah ah ho ho ho ho hee hee hee match THAT, Bob Dylan
	10:48am seth from muddy creek: WALL OF SOUND All hearts for Flipper
	10:48am TDK60: What's so funny?
	10:49am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	10:49am Stevel: Terrifying single cover.
	10:49am seth from muddy creek: @David - 100%. Cannot confuse Flipper for another
	👻 10:49am Threemoons: Hey, if you are gonna do Flipper, I think we need some Insane Clown Posse here just because.
	10:49am TerrDE: 3 Moons it was truly conciousness altering. Endless repeatation that was both the same yet different combined w the chat overwhelmed both psychological and sociological reality.
	👻 10:50am Threemoons: @TerrDE agreed!
	10:52am Malcolm: despite being a confirmed monogamist i love soul songs about infidelity
	10:53am David (in London): Malcolm, noted. Also: hello!
	👻 10:53am Webhamster Henry: TOTT: Super Kinksy - but Chrissie apparently wrote it herself.
	10:53am PaulRobeson1920: Good afternoon! WFMU Land!
	10:54am Rick A: This is one of my top three favorite Pretenders songs. I had this album in high school. I think it was maligned when it came out though it has this song and "Message of Love" which are two of their best songs.
	10:54am PaulRobeson1920: I’m HIP, I like Music, I love you
	10:55am David (in London): Love her vocals on this. So slouchy. But you have to be really darned good to pull that off.
	👻 10:55am Marley P. Dogg: Great edition of single file!!!
	10:55am Handy Haversack: Totally, David.
	10:55am Roberto: When my band covered Talk of the Town in the early '90s, there wernt no fancy internets for looking up the lyrics. I thought the final verse was "I watch you steal from a distant single..."
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah early Pretenders. Great band & they all died.
	10:57am Roberto: Well half of them died anyway. 50% survival rate.
	10:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Roberto Ha! A band I was in wanted to do Tom Petty's "Change Of Heart"...I ended up cheating by going to a music shop and copying the lyrics out of a book. Tsk, tsk.
	10:57am David (in London): Dagnapit. I can resist the call of the Zoom no longer. Thanks Joe, great show today. Later groovers, so Long (It's Been Good to Know Yuh)
	10:58am Handy Haversack: Later on, David!
	10:58am John Pietaro: You might’ve at least played the Weavers.....😶
	10:58am Malcolm: laters david!
	10:59am Roberto: For some reason we sang "So Long" a lot in elementary school music assemblies.
	10:59am djsheilab: You are on fire today, Joe! So much variety and yet seamless!
	11:01am Krys O.: @TerrDE (10.32) Nope.
	👻 11:05am tim from washington: Hey Joe and everyone! Can I use the bathroom at FMU now?
	11:05am Handy Haversack: I wish we'd have been able to make it on Sat. Maybe next month ... no, we have another volunteer thing July 10. One with a bathroom. One day. One day.
	11:05am DJ Guin: In Memory of Ned Beattie I will watch "Battle of the Network Stars" this evening.
	11:05am Mark Hurst: Thanks, Joe! We're fighting the power again tonight. Couple different topics, should be fun.
	11:07am DJ Guin: @tim from washington - apparently there are other forums for such naughty talk -- don't poke the hornet's nest
	11:07am steveo: enjoyed what I heard; heading your way...
	11:07am Handy Haversack: Bossa Nova Carnival with Mr. C
	11:09am efd: Bossa Nova Carnival playlists: wfmu.org...
	11:09am Handy Haversack: Stay dry, steveo! Hey, efd!
	11:10am Nick Vivid: T2? Seriously? I never thought I'd ever hear this album playing on the radio.. Fantastic prog band
	👻 11:11am tim from washington: @DJ Guin - Opps. I got my browsers mixed up. Thanks for looking out!
	11:11am Jeff in Brooklyn: @Roberto - we sang Woody Guthrie songs in school assemblies as well - Union NJ public school in the mid '60's. I think it was an 'approved' attempt to raise our consciousness a bit
	👻 11:12am tim from washington: What the story with T.2 again? THis is like Bob Pollard living out his prog dreams. How is Don Henley related to this?
	11:12am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Damnit, I switch off for my last conference call of the day, and I missed Bessie Smith!
	👻 11:12am chresti @work: Hi Joe and noise associates! It's a warm 82 @ 8:11 this morning! Just uploaded all the swag cds onto the work desktop!
	11:13am Kevin in Ringwood UK: And Focus! There is a great live version of Sylvia on their 1973 album recorded at the Rainbow in London
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never heard of T.2 ! Jammin'. Almost reminds of BlueOysterCult. Which is pretty 'progressive' for 1970.
	11:14am Joe McG: @tim: Oh he's not, tim, I was just making a singer drummer comparison. Although apparently there are some Eagles on the Eve record I played earlier!
	11:14am TerrDE: Krys ? I don't think even a rabid t-rumper would consider those 2 liberals... BTW I was surprised when Reagan died and Thatcher didn't. I always thought Maggie was just Ron in drag
	11:15am coelacanth∅: weird maybe but it reminds me of hüsker dü
	11:15am seth from muddy creek: Feelin some Spinal Tap in this Track
	11:15am Nick Vivid: This whole T2 album I think is 3 or 4 songs and everything is solid.
	👻 11:16am tim from washington: Got it, Joe! Sorry for listening in a half assed manner. :) This is great!
	11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CAPTAIN BEYOND
	11:18am Joe McG: People tell me I don't ROCK on this show, so this set is going to get HAIRY.
	11:18am Nick Vivid: If I hear some Truth and Janey in this set we are gonna have a serious game of underground psych prog proto metal bingo happening
	11:19am Krys O.: You're playing Captain Beyond! Huzzah!
	11:19am Krys O.: Bobby Caldwell is an amazing unsung musician.
	👻 11:19am tim from washington: I'm riding with RRN and Krys O on this one!
	11:19am Mike Sin: Captain Beyond! Time to get high before noon!
	👻 11:20am Hughie Considine: The early 1970s were captain-crazy: Ride Captain Ride, I'm Your Captain, Captain & Tennille ...
	11:20am Irene Trudel: Love Captain Beyond! I still have the LP with the "winky" cover.
	11:21am Krys O.: LOL, Hughie! Hey, Irene!
	11:21am Kramrellim: Bobby Caldwell played a show at St. Vitus a couple years ago doing a Captain Beyond set. Pretty incredible.
	11:21am TerrDE: Hughie, right! Like vampires today
	11:21am coelacanth∅: Hughie -captain beefhart, captain fantastic ...cap'n crunch
	11:22am Jeff in Brooklyn: The Captain '70's was a promotion from Sergeant” '60's
	11:22am Krys O.: Definition of Neoliberalism: Neoliberalism (or neo-liberalism)[1] is a term used to describe the 20th-century resurgence of 19th-century ideas associated with economic liberalism and free-market capitalism.[2]:7[3] It is generally associated with policies of economic liberalization, including privatization, deregulation, globalization, free trade, austerity and reductions in government spending in order to increase the role of the private sector in the economy and society;[4][12] however, the defining features of neoliberalism in both thought and practice have been the subject of substantial scholarly debate.[13][14] In policymaking, neoliberalism was part of a paradigm shift away from the prevailing Keynesian economic consensus that existed prior to the persistent stagflation of the 1970s.[15][16]
	11:22am Hubig Pie: Kap'n Kangaroo
	👻 11:23am tim from washington: Joe wasn't joking about getting hairy!
	11:24am TerrDE: I had heard of neoconservative. Those 2 clowns were just fascists
	👻 11:24am Brian in UK: Where is Lewis Taylor? He played in a late carnation of Edgar Broughton Band.
	👻 11:25am Hughie Considine: If I may: "Blues Image (of "Ride Captain Ride" fame) never receives credit for its role in ushering in, albeit unconsciously, the great era of what might be called “captain-philia.” As the ’60s slipped uneasily into the new decade, you couldn’t turn the radio dial without running smack into a captain. There was Grand Funk’s “I’m Your Captain,” Neil Diamond’s “Captain Sunshine,” the Doobie Bros’ The Captain and Me, Billy Joel’s “Captain Jack,” and Elton John’s Captain Fantastic, not to mention the Captain and Tennille. (And Captain Beyond, a great stealth supergroup, formed in 1971). Perhaps this profusion of captains, along with what would now be termed the re-trending of Jesus Christ, indicates that young people were looking for a steady, manly force to guide them."
	11:26am DJ Guin: @Hughie - thanks. now I am craving Captain Crunch
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: A precursor of Yacht Rock?
	11:26am Handy Haversack: Let's not forget it was the interregnum between Star Trek and The Love Boat, Hughie. We needed a steady hand at our wheel to guide us through.
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: William Rory Gallagher (/ˈrɔːri ˈɡæləhər/ GAL-ə-hər; 2 March 1948 – 14 June 1995)
	11:26am Jeff in Brooklyn: and then the dream died when we learned that Major Tom was a junkie
	11:27am Son Of Pantz: What about Captain and Taneal?
	11:27am Iversonic: coelacanth∅: Captain Kangaroo
	11:27am DJ Guin: Captain Spaulding for the win.
	11:27am chris_in_space: ...Beefheart
	11:28am JG: The guitar intro on this Taste- I thought Joe snuck in Captain Beefheart at first
	👻 11:28am Hughie Considine: Thanks, @Handy. And hooray for Captain Spaulding!
	11:28am Hubig Pie: Cap'n Kirk for the win All the interstellar girls liked him the best
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: Captain Beefheart was the wild card. Lewis Taylor recorded Trout Mask Replica, I know who cares.
	11:29am Mandrax: This is a RAD set! LOVE IT!!!
	👻 11:30am tim from washington: Oh yeah, Pink Fairies! Don't talk about it, maaaaannn!
	11:30am chris_in_space: @JG I actually thought it was Jethro Tull's "Song For Jeffrey". Remarkably similar slide intro.
	11:30am Nick Vivid: Agreed. This set rules.
	11:30am ?: Capt. Kirk spread space herpes.
	11:31am DJ Guin: If they can make a show about Picard, where's "Star Trek: STDs about Kirk's amorous adventures?"
	👻 11:31am tim from washington: Man, what if Nugent wasn't a dickhead egomaniac (among other things) and played 2nd guitar with Pink Fairies?
	11:32am JG: @ Chris in Space Yes. - I love the Tull Jeffrey songs
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...boldy go where no man has had gonorrhea before...
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...except maybe Nugent...
	11:33am PaulRobeson1920: @Krys O:i would define Neo-Liberaism as- Corporate power exceeding the power of Nation States and replacing colonial relationships with Debt obligations—-Example - Jamaica. Now, that thats out of the way, I’m ready for Soc 101 and 4-6 years of Higher education. Then it’s back to the chain gang
	11:34am DJ Guin: "KHHHHAAANNNN!" - Kirk blaming him for catching chlamydia
	11:34am Rick A: Way back in the mists of WFMU history, Tom Scharpling used to begin his show with a Pink Fairies song. It was appropriately rockin as is "The Snake".
	11:34am Kevin in Ringwood UK: @chris_in_space - I love A Song for Jeffrey, and the whole of the This Was album in fact. Wore out my cassette copy
	👻 11:35am Brian in UK: Joe, time warping set.
	11:35am Kramrellim: Sir Lord Baltimore played at my high school and I missed it because of a family vacation.
	👻 11:36am tim from washington: Joe - If you keep this up you're going to get suspended from the station again. These jams are extremely conducive to smoking industrial sized blunts and flashing James Gang signs. (that's where you put your extended index finger below your nose to signiify a mustashio.
	👻 11:36am Hughie Considine: Maybe Joe will play "The Clap" by Yes
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think Sir Lord was @ least approaching SpeedMetal before JudasPriest...
	11:36am coelacanth∅: your parents should've postponed the vacation
	11:36am Alvy Singer: Nailing it with the amphetamine rock Joe.
	11:37am Joe McG: My hair is growing and my knuckles are starting to drag on the floor, so this is working.
	11:37am Listening Out There: Got a haircut over the weekend. Should have waited, to have the big hair to go with today's SN...
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: Kevin the cover of This Was is a strange precursor of the Band's second album cover.
	11:38am Rachel Bo Bachel: Lovin the heavy sound JMcG!
	👻 11:39am John L: I loved Jethro Tull when I was a kid but disowned them when I was in college and sometime thereafter. Now I fully embrace the first few; I think they really, um, stand up.
	11:39am Krys O.: And the Groundhogs!? Awesome....
	11:39am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Not familiar with that Band album, will look it up. The This Was cover also unwittingly predicts Ian Anderson's status as an elder statesman of rock decades later
	11:39am Handy Haversack: Rachel! Great set, Joe! I just grew three more mustaches! Gotta go some some cat food and tofu, but this set will make it a power move all the way! Thanks for all, Joe. Laters on, pals.
	👻 11:39am Hughie Considine: Once Ian Anderson ditched the trench coat and started sporting 17th-century duds, things went steadily downhill.
	11:40am coelacanth∅: Jethro Tull was adequately above the heads of the critics that they called it juvenile
	11:40am Kramrellim: @coelacanth∅ - I agree. I never did forgive my parents for that one.
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: See you, Handy.
	11:40am ChukAmok: Joe McG's super hits of the '70's and beeeeeeyyyyoooooond.
	👻 11:41am chresti @work: Blue Cheer
	11:41am coelacanth∅: take care Handy
	11:41am Mike tp: Joe stellar picks.nice change of pace .....sir lord ta boot Edgar n captain and much more...
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: No, not Blodwyn Pig.
	11:41am Kevin in Ringwood UK: @John L, completely agree. I don't really like anything later than Heavy Horses. By the '80s Anderson just sounded like Beefheart to me
	11:42am Krys O.: I'd say yes to Blodwyn Pig.
	11:42am TonyR: I liked Tull as a kid. Even saw them live in '75. Then the streaming revolution came, I visited a few old corners for old times' sakem , and I found JT aged aggressively unwell.
	11:42am Rachel Bo Bachel: Hey Handy, lol re: cat food and tofu “power move”!
	👻 11:42am tim from washington: Joe just went from Andy Travis to Dr Johnny Fever.
	11:42am coelacanth∅: Kramrellim my parents didn't say much but that led zeppelin was juvenile...which it was! my mom hated Hendrix though
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: Krys O, loved the first album cover.
	11:43am Krys O.: Ian Anderson would show up in Cat Fancy magazine when I subscribed. He loves Bengal Cats.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just kinda forgot about Tull. Then one episode of SubGenius Hour he just played old tracks like this - & 'Oh God' by Tull - &, wull hell yeah...
	11:44am TonyR: Does he soothe them with his flute?
	11:44am Kramrellim: Ian Anderson's voice is shot these days. And I'd say yes to Blodwyn Pig too.
	11:44am Krys O.: Ian Anderson on kitties: jethrotull.com...
	11:45am Rick A: Is Sabbath anywhere in the offerings of would that be too mainstream a move? I feel like the spirit of Sabbath hovers through this set.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho' did see Tull in a 60s Revisited kinda package show - & they seemed quite viable, not nostalgia. Also saw JackBruce there, thankfully.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CHEER
	👻 11:46am tim from washington: I'm imagining Joe Belock pulling records while listening to this set, then refiling them, turning around and heading home!
	11:46am coelacanth∅: Anderson become a caricature of himself really quickly, and had/has some stupid opinions...not even close to those of, say, johnny lydon
	11:46am ?: @timfw james gang signs! u win interthingie concept of the day so far great set selecter @joemcg
	11:46am TonyR: "Rock Music Report" did not prepare me for this set.
	👻 11:46am chresti @work: Yay!!
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: chresti, are you reading the tea leaves?
	11:47am johnk77: ? is me
	11:47am coelacanth∅: good job chresti!
	11:47am chris_in_space: What a set!
	11:48am Troymo: Hell yeah! Blue Cheer!
	👻 11:48am chresti @work: Logic, just logic..
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Great work, Joe. Thanks for all you do.
	👻 11:48am John L: I recently found a mint copy of Tull's Benefit in a five dollar bin and felt a pang of nostalgia. I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Not sure I need much after that. Anderson produced a Steeleye Span LP and that was my teenage gateway into British folk rock. From there I got into Pentangle/Bert Jansch, June Tabor, The Watersons, etc, so I have to give him a bit of credit there.
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: Alvin, play until your fingers bleed.
	11:49am coelacanth∅: woodstock version!
	👻 11:50am chresti @work: Stacks of Marshall amps gets the job done!
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Woodchopper's Ball' mighta been Surface Noise stylee ? :D ...
	11:50am kev: getting a little crazy Joe
	11:50am Krys O.: I could name that tune in 3 seconds! My brother and cousins listened to Ten Years After a lot. I was raised on it too.
	👻 11:50am chresti @work: Thanks Joe!
	11:50am Matt Fiveash: Ten Beers After!
	11:50am Joe B: @tim - getting in my car now ...
	11:51am Joe McG: @RRNov63: It was a toss up, but since I am "going home," sort of, this one seemed about right.
	11:51am Krys O.: Excellent show, as always, Joe!
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have said that we didn't learn Gittar only from the yARdbiRdS - yerknow...
	11:51am Joe McG: Quick Matt, name all the songs he puts in his medley!
	11:52am Joe B: i thought this was long until i made the mistake of trying to listen to the grateful dead's closing tune at woodstock
	11:52am coelacanth∅: haha
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as abuse as AlvinLee is for 'sloppiness'...
	11:52am Gerry from Miami: This Woodstock performance is etched in stone.
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's got Feel & stuff.
	11:54am TonyR: Anybody remember the "Law & order" where the criminal was a classic rock guy who played Woodstock? Jeff Goldblum reads him for filth at the arrest: "You left your audiences wanting LESS!"
	11:54am Joe McG: I listened to this 100 times when I was a teenager. That accounts for the adult damage. I never played it on the radio, I don't think, so this is fun.
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Garcia : ...'We always blow the big ones'...
	11:55am TonyR: Yeah, haven't heard it since I played the vinyl as a teen.
	11:55am dave wuz here: stand in the mud without a shirt on for full effect
	11:55am Matt Fiveash: If you close your eyes during the solos it's almost like being at guitar center without leaving home
	11:55am Joe McG: The hippies keep very good time and they don't stop!
	11:55am TonyR: THREE LPs! a "Side six", which blew my mind.
	👻 11:56am tim from washington: I loved the Woodstock performance of this. I haven't found anything else by ALvin Lee that floats my boat though.
	11:56am Dano59: With this 'Hogfat'-like set you are perilously close to the edge of taste, @Joe. They definitely love this stuff in Syracuse / central NY though!
	11:56am Rachel Bo Bachel: Krys O. I subscribed to “Horse Illustrated” magazine and I used to see ads for Cat Fancy!
	11:56am coelacanth∅: that's true Joe. it wouldn't work now
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we wanna play our Gittars ...without being hassled by Thuh Man - !!...
	11:57am Matt Fiveash: Joe McG- they really do! And on the 2's and 4's no less!
	11:57am Son Of Pantz: It's no Sha Na Na, but it's pretty good.
	11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Have a great week and see you next time.
	👻 11:57am tim from washington: Excellent set, Joe! Thanks so much. The transmitter and your newly grown split ends are duly fried!
	11:58am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Joe, the show today has been outstanding, thank you.
	11:58am TonyR: Joe B. waltzes in and runs though the record library like the Tasmanian Devil.
	11:58am coelacanth∅: ten years after live version of "crossroads" is about the best brit blues rock out there
	11:58am Dano59: honestly, everything at the start of the set did sound like Foghat to me.
	11:58am Hubig Pie: Massive elbow flying fest inserted here
	11:58am Michael 98145: wake-up time on the left coast
	11:59am radioronan: Thanks Joe!
	11:59am PaulRobeson1920: Thanks Joe & Crew! Peace& LoVe Ya’ll!
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY DJ JoeMcG !
	12:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe!
