	9:24am djsheilab: This whole first set has been a delight, especially this "I'm Only Sleeping" cover. Morning Joe!
	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Woo I guess so. Rain which was on the single right before Revolver had a snippet of backwards John vocal @ the end.
	9:25am Handy Haversack: Anyone know how this relates to when he went down to Georgia? Chronologically, I mean.
	9:26am Joe McG: 'Morning, Sheila B.! Aw shucks!
	9:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: RIP Commander Cody
	9:28am The Oscar: Mornin' all! Back to the dayjob grind following a week living it up at the New York Film Festival, but these tunes are easing the pain.
	👻 9:33am Hughie Considine: Speaking of Shelto Marx, months ago someone on the FMU comments board recommended Harpo Speaks!, his autobiography. I have to say, treat yourself to it. It made me smile through turbulent times.
	9:34am TDK60: Revrab: George Frayne has boarded the last tour bus? Farewell Commander Cody. Saw him twice, lotsa fun!
	9:36am Joe McG: @Oscar: What was the best thing you saw? @Hughie: I have a copy, haven't read it yet!

	👻 9:36am Webhamster Henry: whao! is the Van Dyke Parksy or what?
	👻 9:38am Hughie Considine: Pretty confident you will enjoy it, DJ Joe.
	9:39am Firepitmama: Loving this dreamy set!
	9:42am Joe McG: @Henry: Van Dyke did the string arrangements for "Happy Come Home," so your ear is spot-on.
	9:43am Joe McG: BTW, like your handle, Firepitmama!
	9:43am The Oscar: @Joe Joel Coen's Tragedy of Macbeth is great, and so is Titane (though I suspect that one might be a little spicy for your liking). I also really enjoyed The Worst Person in the World, Drive My Car (a Murakami adaptation!), and Bergman Island!
	9:44am PNX: Thanks for this lovely set, Joe. There isn't a single other person I rather have choosing songs for me on a Monday morning.
	9:44am JT: mr rogers
	9:45am Joe McG: @PNX: I really appreciate that, thanks!
	9:48am thatpatsmith: Hi Joe, what a wonderful show today, and as always.
	9:49am Joe McG: Many thanks, tps, happy to be here, as ever!
	👻 9:50am LastWhiteRhino: Marvelous set. It's taking me on a journey from which I don't want to come back.
	9:51am Joe McG: @LWR: Thanks for saying hi on Friday, too, during my Dance with Me, Stanley guest spot!
	9:52am Handy Haversack: Joe, was Wayne Newton still on your mind (and cart) from Friday?
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WayneNewton. A boy! ...I was ready for a LasVegas wedding...
	9:53am Joe McG: @Handy: Yes, as you can see a couple of records from Friday have reappeared in a new context!
	👻 9:53am yerfriendpaul: Good morning, Joe! Everyone!
	9:54am annie: how she manages to be sultry and melancholy at the same time..sigh
	9:55am Handy Haversack: Nice, Joe. We missed most of Friday's fill-in but caught Wayne at the end. Was nice to come home to!
	9:55am Brendan: Hi Joe, late to the party. I couldn’t find something to wear. Then I was told there’s no dress code. I wasn’t gonna wear a dress anyway.
	👻 9:58am Brian in UK: Joe. The leaves are not falling yet.
	9:59am McGroovey: Well, I'm in the far reaches of upstate NY, and it's definitely autumnal here. 80 degrees? Freakish. Today I may have to stay wearing long pants.
	10:01am Mark Hurst: @Joe @Handy thanks! Looking forward to this evening. Meantime really enjoying this show.
	10:02am Asheville Jon: howdy everyone!
	10:02am D Rok: Yes, Wayne Newton is still with us. I think I read he's working on a comeback post-pandemic show, but I'm not sure.
	10:02am Handy Haversack: Still alive! "After performing more than 30,000 shows on the Las Vegas strip, Newton celebrated his 60th year on stage in Las Vegas with a show entitled "Mr. Las Vegas" at Caesars Palace casino-resort from January 28, 2019 through May. Newton told the Associated Press, “It's hard for me to articulate, much less think about it,” referring to the anniversary. “I was here when Caesars (Palace) was built. This hotel for me has always represented the flagship of the Strip.” [28] "In June 2020, Newton was seen on television commercials in North America as a spokesperson for Caesars Entertainment to promote the reopening of Caesars Entertainment resorts during the COVID-19 pandemic. "
	10:05am Brendan: I’d like to go see Wayne. And throw women’s panties at him.
	10:05am John in Phoenixville: @Joe: Thanks for playing Peggy Lee. That’s one of my favorites among her albums. I love that she tackles more than one concept at the same time on that LP (Broadway + Latin). She also does it on Blues Cross Country too (not just a blues album, but also a travelogue!).
	10:05am Tinley Park Randy: Look up,Happy Ain’t Coming Home by The Leatherwoods. A single from around 1991-92.
	👻 10:05am Ken From Hyde Park: It was nice of Wayne Newton to cook pasta for Ellen Griswald that time.
	10:06am Tinley Park Randy: Found it. https://youtu.be/zCL4CN3Ckcw
	10:08am Brendan: Wonder if they’d let you bring a T-shirt cannon to a Wayne Newton or a Tom Jones concert….
	10:10am Brendan: Great tune
	👻 10:10am yerfriendpaul: My wife and I saw Wayne Newton in Vegas 20 years ago or so. He was in a little theater in the round and his voice was shot, but that didn't stop him from entertaining everyone. I didn't know much about him but I was really happy we got to see him. He came to all of our tables and kissed every lady, including my wife. It was tremendous and old school! His cologne was powerful. It hit you from 10 feet away, ha ha
	👻 10:11am Brian in UK: Thank you Joe, for never letting us down.
	10:11am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian, always nice to see you!
	10:16am Asheville Jon: did the chat break?
	👻 10:16am LastWhiteRhino: I always wanted to see Ethel Merman perform but unfortunately never got to see her. I need to see Wayne Newton before it's too late. He has now been officially added to my bucket list.
	10:16am Joe McG: @Jon: I must have put everybody to sleep! :)
	10:17am annie: i was first introduced to Wayne newton when he played spots in I Love Lucy
	10:18am Woo: In 2014 Wayne Newton was in Chicago promoting Vegas. On my way to work I saw Wayne floating down the Chicago River lipsinc-ing Danke Schoen at 8 AM. It was surreal.
	10:19am Tank Top: Surprised to hear Delta 5 in an Apple commercial.
	10:19am Joe McG: @Woo: WOW!
	10:19am Asheville Jon: it's ok Joe, now you are waking us up again!
	10:19am Krys O.: Wayne Newton was on Here's Lucy in 1970. www.imdb.com... Made me think of Tennessee Ernie Ford appearing on I Love Lucy.
	👻 10:20am chresti: Morning Joe and company!
	10:20am gauche knee: Delta 5 4evaaaa!!
	10:20am Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍• ᴗ •◍꒱:+
	10:21am Ryansterlingvirtue: I realize that almost every band I love is derived from Delta 5.
	👻 10:22am PortsmouthJay: Remember that Apple ad recently with Delta 5? :)
	10:22am sphere: I find it hard to believe that Gang of Four did not know Delta 5. hello.
	10:23am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: sphere - the Wikipedia article on Delta 5 says there were part of the same art school scene at Leeds University as Gang of Four, and The Mekons
	10:24am Joe McG: @sphere: Is that right? I always assumed they were buds.
	👻 10:25am Marley P. Dogg: Timmy!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:26am sphere: @ Joe McG - I meant that in a general way, don't know the scene history. Who influenced who then? It really is uncanny.
	10:26am Joe McG: I love this string arrangement!
	10:27am Stephen O: Yes wow
	10:27am Joe McG: @sphere: Ah, I see. Yeah, I'd say that Go4 were really the big influence on a lot of the bands that came after, incl. Delta 5.
	10:27am Mister Dobalina: Cool track, gonna have to clicky star this one.
	10:27am sphere: @ Joe McG - Thanks.
	10:28am Woo: Agree wtith Mister Dobalina
	10:29am sphere: Perhaps this is not a good way to go, but I tend to believe that the smaller band influences the larger bands, especially when they are both around at the same time
	10:34am Joe McG: @sphere: Maybe! Who knows?
	10:35am Frank's Brain: I opened up for Delta 5 w/my first band, the Suave Elbows, at the Dirt Club in Bloomfield, NJ, during their one and only US tour. They were not only a great/groundbreaking band but were also incredibly gracious. Will always remember how kind Julz was.
	10:36am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @sphere - that reminds me of the stories about the Sex Pistols gig at Manchester Free Trade Hall in 1976 which many people later claimed was their inspiration to start their own bands. Members of Joy Division, The Smiths, The Fall and The Buzzcocks were all there, apparently
	10:37am Joe McG: @FB: That's really nice to hear!
	10:37am Krys O.: I seem to recall that the connections shared by bands popular and semi-popular in that time frame was covered in Typical Girls? The Story of the Slits by Zoe Street Howe. It was a lot more egalitarian back in the gestation period of post-punk.
	10:37am holland oats: @fb v cool
	10:38am Handy Haversack: Tommy Roe!
	👻 10:39am tadpoles: Thanks for the Delta 5 Joe. At the time I always mixed them up with the Au Pairs.
	10:39am Krys O.: @Kevin/Ringwood: I know from a friend of mine who was there at the time that the case was true and repeated in other towns where the Sex Pistols played.
	10:39am Woo: Roe just flat out stole Buddy Holly for a bit
	10:39am Krys O.: @tadpoles: Don't forget Girls At Our Best too.
	👻 10:40am Brian in UK: @Frank's Brain, great first band name. An osteopath told me recently that I had stable knees. It was very comforting. No plans to form a band.
	10:41am Handy Haversack: Brian, a ballet dancer once told me I have excellent arches. Also not forming a band, though.
	👻 10:41am tadpoles: Yes Krys O ..... as Yoko said "Woman Power!"
	10:41am Joe McG: @Woo: Oh, totally. War between him and Bobby Vee for the soul of Buddy Holly.
	👻 10:42am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Jacques !
	👻 10:43am Hughie Considine: Wow, so Roe built a whole song around Buddy's pidde de pats in "Heartbeat." That's deep theft.
	10:44am drr: Z.Z. Hill: what a voice.
	10:45am Handy Haversack: Gotta get up the Z.Z. Hill to reach the ZZ Top.
	10:45am drr: @Handy: mind if I use that?
	10:46am Handy Haversack: If you can find a use for it, be my guest!
	10:47am Mister Dobalina: I have not cried today, but I might to do so later on. Not sure.
	10:47am holland oats: poppy family 💕
	10:47am Joe McG: @Handy: Bennett Cerf is calling to you from the grave.
	👻 10:47am Brian in UK: Handy, the Fallen Arches might have possibilities.
	10:48am davefromtoronto: ugh...
	10:48am Handy Haversack: Zombie Bennett Cerf and I are thinking of starting a salon!
	👻 10:49am karlward: Handy: B. B. King of the Z. Z. Hill
	10:49am Joe McG: @Handy: I hope you have a punny name for it!
	10:50am Handy Haversack: Sitting in the Tommy Roe?
	10:52am Joe McG: Punsters Anonymous
	10:52am Frank's Brain: @BrianinUK Suave Elbows with Stable Knees would be a great double-bill for a concert at an osteopathy convention.
	10:54am Mike W.: THE SOUND OF ACTION STEREO... ...IN YOUR FACE!
	11:00am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hi, Joe and folx! I just did that thing where an archive was playing and I looked at this set list and thought?!?!??!!?
	11:01am paul: Never Let Me Down had Bang Bang on it
	11:05am Handy Haversack: Ack, just realized we're going to miss Techtonic tonight! That's never a good idea. Morning, Baba Bee!
	👻 11:06am karlward: Is it "Almost Famous"?
	11:07am Mark Hurst: @Handy no worries, it'll be waiting for you in the archives :) @Joe your summary was better than mine! Covert recording is the problem.
	👻 11:08am karlward: Hit It And Quit It
	👻 11:08am karlward: That's what I call it
	👻 11:09am Ken From Hyde Park: Just add another layer to your tinfoil hat, Handy, and you'll make it through the night.
	11:10am Matt Fiveash: Hooray for doofy rock saxophone!
	👻 11:10am karlward: He can't love you, he don't even have a saxophone
	11:11am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hi, Handy!
	11:11am Joe McG: @Matt: My favorite! Call Clarence!
	👻 11:11am Hughie Considine: Let the provin' begin! I'm gonna start saying that at opportune moments.
	👻 11:11am karlward: There it is!
	👻 11:12am karlward: Why are they all throwing their undergarments at the saxophonist
	👻 11:12am Hughie Considine: I dig it, Joe, but "Midwest Midnight" is the best Michael Stanley Band song.
	11:12am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I gave my best friend an album I loved, except for one song—and she didn't like the album at all—except for that one I didn't like!
	11:13am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: The 80s was a golden era of "one and done" I'll bet!
	11:14am Ramona: Oh yeah... said my memory bank. Thanks for playing last song!
	11:14am Son Of Pantz: This is shaping up to be Best of The Bar Bands 80's Edition
	11:15am drr: whoa, I saw The Sluggers open for Jason and the Scorchers in 1986....talk about bar bands
	11:15am Listener Scott: If you hadn't told us these were one and done records, Joe, I might've guessed. Also, I can tell the sax player in the Michael Stanley track was wearing sunglasses because that was the law back then.
	11:16am Joe McG: Sure, Ramona! @Scott: Ha ha ha
	11:16am Krys O.: LOL! Black Oak Arkansas with Jim Dandy?
	11:16am Son Of Pantz: Tim Krekel is kinda of a legend round these parts. Real nice guy too.
	11:17am Krys O.: @Joe: RSM's early Nashville band played on the same bill as Black Oak Arkansas for a street party.
	11:17am Joe McG: BOA gets extra points for the line about the toilet freezing.
	11:18am The Oscar: "Older Than Grandpa" is like 75% of the way to being a Frogs song.
	11:18am Little Danny: This is rather strange.
	11:18am Little Danny: hi Joe, hi all!
	👻 11:18am chresti: I've had albums like that, i or 2 songs that are killer, the rest filler, or carbon copies of the killer somgs.
	11:18am Rick A: That Michael Stanley Band song was an early MTV hit. I remember seeing that video many times.
	👻 11:19am chresti: *I've bought albums like that. Hi LD!
	11:19am Joe McG: @Rick: Wow, there's a video? I have to see that!
	11:20am Joe McG: @Oscar: Ha ha @Little Danny: Howdy!
	11:21am Krys O.: Clicking the Vikki Carr, for certain.
	👻 11:22am Hughie Considine: Extra poignancy in hearing this from a lady's perspective.
	11:22am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: (said in Sizzler whisper): cchhhrrrreeeessssttiiiikkiiiiiinnnnnsssssssss
	11:24am Rick A: I'm happy to oblige, Joe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HplvE-GXUtw
	11:24am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: long, lonnnng ago, a wise and wizened WFMUer told me it was important to listen to every last moment on every album, because you never knew
	11:24am Joe McG: @Rick: Ooh, happy aftershow viewing!
	11:25am chris_in_space: Thought Kitty Wells was Laura Cantrell at first
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Cats and dogs! Living together! It'll be anarchy!
	👻 11:25am yerfriendpaul: Loving this!
	👻 11:25am chresti: mmmxxxxbbbaaabaaabbeeekkinnnsss!
	11:29am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: chresti and Son of Pantz: have your avatars met yet?
	👻 11:30am chresti: Son of Pantz is my uncle!
	11:31am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: I thought there was a family resemblance!
	11:31am Son Of Pantz: That's right! Pardon me. I must go nap in my Iron Maiden.
	11:32am Joe McG: Missed opportunity: The Morgan Fairchild nighttime soap not adopting this song for the theme.
	11:32am paul: You don't like In Style?!
	11:33am Joe McG: @paul: Not very much! Prefer his first one and "Here Comes the Night."
	11:33am Woo: Joe, you don't like In Style? I think it's a half great album.
	11:34am paul: @Joe, surprising. "She" rocks.
	11:34am Joe McG: @Woo: I like about 2-3 songs, not enough to hold onto it.
	11:35am paul: Agree the first one is the best.
	11:36am Woo: David Jo was so great live that In Style suffered from the studio taming. The first solo just had better material.
	11:36am johnk77: great show selecter this david johansen makes me nostalgic for tramps nightclub
	11:37am Joe McG: Aw, Tramps, I used to like that place a lot....
	11:38am ike-o: peace and greetings from flamingo rd in Las vegas everyone
	11:38am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Remember how mad folx got when Joe and Joe chopped up The White Album!?!? That was fun!
	11:39am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: ike-o: hey! give the flamingos my kindest regards!
	11:39am Joe McG: Hey, ike-O! @Baba: People got REALLY mad about that one! It was fun.
	11:39am Brendan: She looks good to him tonight, but just wait till tomorrow afternoon. She’s gonna look delightful.
	11:40am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: (I mean Joe and Jim—jeez the caffeine is not kicking in)
	👻 11:40am Hughie Considine: Come on, Joe, can't believe you're dissing Starland Vocal Band like this. I mean, "War Surplus Baby" rocks.
	11:40am Woo: Rubbing sticks and stones together
	11:40am Joe McG: @Hughie: Ha ha ha
	11:41am Brendan: Horniest band ever
	11:44am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Joe: maybe you could chop up the "All Things Must Pass" rerelease? ;-)
	11:44am Joe McG: @Brendan: Before they got psychedelic and less horny
	11:44am slugluv1313: awww Flamingo Road 😻😻 thanks so much, Joe McG!!! taking me back to those days when "expensive" shoes really were only $100.00 😺😺 (and missing those days soooo much!) and yes, David Jo really was fantastic live! saw him at The Red Fox Inn in New Brunswick, and one New Year's Eve at The Palladium (& i think that was the year Devo played afterwards, at one of the Lincoln Center venues?) ugh gotta get back to boring chores -- but i will be listening with you all 💜💜💜
	11:45am Mark in Toronto: This song is terrible, but I don't know why.
	11:46am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: slugluv1313: take care!
	11:46am Joe McG: But Mark, that's the GOOD one!
	11:46am Morphe': Thanks Joe McG and all !!!!!!
	👻 11:47am chresti: Franco worked with someone that was in PBC.
	11:47am Rick A: Roger really sounds like Dylan here.
	👻 11:48am chresti: See you, slugluv!
	11:48am chris_in_space: @Rcik A I'll second that. This is some deep-cut Roger McGuinn.
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Joe, the post Rolling Thunder album was not one of his best like the first two. He was always good at picking up songs of others early.
	11:48am Joe McG: @Rick: We wouldn't hear Dylan's original until "Biograph" came out.
	11:48am Rick A: I guess he's trying to do some form of "Tangled Up in Blue".
	11:48am Little Danny: @chresti: I completely associate Franco with PBC now, hi!
	11:48am paul: Yep. This could be on Blood on The Tracks
	👻 11:49am Hughie Considine: This was initially an outtake by Dylan that clearly led to "Shelter from the Storm"
	👻 11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: A set opposite to this might be terrible songs that appeared on otherwise great albums. That may have already happened, though, I don't remember.
	11:50am Joe McG: @Ken: Good idea for a special! The worst song on the otherwise great LP.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Ken, like Student Demonstration Time on Surfs Up?
	11:50am Rick A: I remember when my woman friend at the time purchased the Biograph album. We were all impressed. One guy exclaimed: "This is a good thing to have!" I always have remembered that line.
	11:51am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Ken From Hyde Park: Like most Roger Taylor tracks on Queen albums? (OUCH!)
	11:51am Blix: "The Worst of the Best" sounds like a great show!
	👻 11:51am Hughie Considine: Or the Andy Summers tracks on Police LPs?
	11:52am Mark in Toronto: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
	11:52am full_english_breakfast: lol who could have guessed
	11:52am PMD: oh Joe Joe Joe
	👻 11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Gosh, what a can of worms have I opened!
	👻 11:52am Hughie Considine: Controversial choice
	11:52am The Oscar: YES. My old band used to ironically cover this song, and it was honestly one of the most fun songs we ever did.
	11:52am Rick A: Yea, Play the hits! Their TV show will always be remembered for first featuring David Letterman.
	11:52am Therese: This is your next Hoof duet with Sheila, isn't it?
	11:53am TimBK: I can't hear this song without thinking about Anchorman now.
	11:53am Joe McG: @Therese: Wow, AMAZING IDEA!!
	11:53am βrian: This place has been in business since the 80s and would play the song on a regular loop: www.afternoondelightcafe.com
	11:53am Rick A: Regarding Roger Taylor, "I'm in Love with My Car" is a great song.
	11:53am slugluv1313: YES! what Therese said! (hi Therese!!!)
	👻 11:54am pgalub: Hey Joe and everyone! Also can't think of this tune without "Anchorman" associations, but I think that might improve the tune.
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great week!
	👻 11:54am DjLorraine: David Jo sat with me for an hour in the 90's. I've never seen his show but i was probably the only one that knew he was an entertainer in that club.
	11:54am Krys O.: I second I'm in Love with My Car. Thanks, Joe!
	11:54am johnk77: i loved student demonstration time:>
	11:55am Therese: Hello to you @slugluv1313!
	👻 11:55am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:55am βrian: Irene coming up on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	11:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm pretty sure when this was a hit (and I did have the album) that I didn't know what "afternoon delight" meant.
	11:55am slugluv1313: hi chresti! hi Mx. Baba Bee!
	11:55am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Rick A: that may be the only exception. I like "Drowse," too.
	11:55am W Trenton Vinny: I'd have a hard time parting with that Starland record
	11:56am Listener Scott: Great moment in Arrested Development when Jason Bateman's character and his niece played by Alia Shawkat, suddenly realize halfway through the song they're dueting what the song is about.
	11:56am Brendan: Thanks Joe!
	11:56am Little Danny: @Listener Scott: I was just about to mention that!
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Well, this has been a late-morning delight. Thanks, Joe! Hope to see all you fine people at the next Joe up's!
	11:57am Little Danny: Thank you Joe!
	11:57am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: But "Loser In The End." I wish I could CHOP that song off of QII
	11:57am Cat Stacker: Bill and Taffy Danoff moved to Northern Virginia where their daughters Emma and Lucy grew up with me, Cat Stacker
	11:57am slugluv1313: & memories of all those awkward family moments when The Starland Vocal Band would perform this song on various TV shows 😹😹
	11:58am drr: Ooh! I do! A friend of mine knows Taffy Danoff. He says she likes to smoke cigarettes and do crossword puzzles.Sorry if that's not the answer you wanted. He said she is quite wise and funny.
	11:58am Rich in Washington: David Letterman got his start writing comedy on Starland Vocal Band's short lived variety TV show.
	11:59am Cat Stacker: As a result of this, every single event such as football game, school dance, etc, featured "Afternoon Delight." We heard it a lot. I sold Taffy a lovely gray satin dress once at Georgetown Cotton. Emma Danoff was a style icon at our high school.
	11:59am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Thanks, Joe! Thanks everyone! I always laugh and learn so much here with you all!
	11:59am Lizardner Dave !: For the first several years of their existence "Big Noise in Winnetka" was the song played after the Staten Island Yankees scored a run. The team brought that tradition with them from Watertown, NY and after the first owners sold the team the song was dropped for some other ballpark generica.
	12:00pm slugluv1313: THANK YOU SO MUCH, Joe McG and FMU family!!! you all have gotten me smiling whilst dealing with boring stuff like laundry sorting -- I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
	👻 12:00pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks Joe! Enjoyed the show! Have a great one gang
	12:00pm Cat Stacker: Lucy was the younger sister, and I remember being very outraged at how the assistant principal targeted her for meaningless dress code violations. I suspect it was because he resented "Afternoon Delight" being such a well-crafted pop masterpiece

	9:39am Firepitmama: Loving this dreamy set!
	9:42am Joe McG: @Henry: Van Dyke did the string arrangements for "Happy Come Home," so your ear is spot-on.
	9:43am Joe McG: BTW, like your handle, Firepitmama!
	9:43am The Oscar: @Joe Joel Coen's Tragedy of Macbeth is great, and so is Titane (though I suspect that one might be a little spicy for your liking). I also really enjoyed The Worst Person in the World, Drive My Car (a Murakami adaptation!), and Bergman Island!
	9:44am PNX: Thanks for this lovely set, Joe. There isn't a single other person I rather have choosing songs for me on a Monday morning.

	9:52am Handy Haversack: Joe, was Wayne Newton still on your mind (and cart) from Friday?
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WayneNewton. A boy! ...I was ready for a LasVegas wedding...
	9:53am Joe McG: @Handy: Yes, as you can see a couple of records from Friday have reappeared in a new context!
	👻 9:53am yerfriendpaul: Good morning, Joe! Everyone!
	9:54am annie: how she manages to be sultry and melancholy at the same time..sigh
	9:55am Handy Haversack: Nice, Joe. We missed most of Friday's fill-in but caught Wayne at the end. Was nice to come home to!
	9:55am Brendan: Hi Joe, late to the party. I couldn’t find something to wear. Then I was told there’s no dress code. I wasn’t gonna wear a dress anyway.
	👻 9:58am Brian in UK: Joe. The leaves are not falling yet.
	9:59am McGroovey: Well, I'm in the far reaches of upstate NY, and it's definitely autumnal here. 80 degrees? Freakish. Today I may have to stay wearing long pants.
	10:01am Mark Hurst: @Joe @Handy thanks! Looking forward to this evening. Meantime really enjoying this show.
	10:02am Asheville Jon: howdy everyone!
	10:02am D Rok: Yes, Wayne Newton is still with us. I think I read he's working on a comeback post-pandemic show, but I'm not sure.
	10:02am Handy Haversack: Still alive! "After performing more than 30,000 shows on the Las Vegas strip, Newton celebrated his 60th year on stage in Las Vegas with a show entitled "Mr. Las Vegas" at Caesars Palace casino-resort from January 28, 2019 through May. Newton told the Associated Press, “It's hard for me to articulate, much less think about it,” referring to the anniversary. “I was here when Caesars (Palace) was built. This hotel for me has always represented the flagship of the Strip.” [28] "In June 2020, Newton was seen on television commercials in North America as a spokesperson for Caesars Entertainment to promote the reopening of Caesars Entertainment resorts during the COVID-19 pandemic. "
	10:05am Brendan: I’d like to go see Wayne. And throw women’s panties at him.
	10:05am John in Phoenixville: @Joe: Thanks for playing Peggy Lee. That’s one of my favorites among her albums. I love that she tackles more than one concept at the same time on that LP (Broadway + Latin). She also does it on Blues Cross Country too (not just a blues album, but also a travelogue!).
	10:05am Tinley Park Randy: Look up,Happy Ain’t Coming Home by The Leatherwoods. A single from around 1991-92.
	👻 10:05am Ken From Hyde Park: It was nice of Wayne Newton to cook pasta for Ellen Griswald that time.
	10:06am Tinley Park Randy: Found it. https://youtu.be/zCL4CN3Ckcw
	10:08am Brendan: Wonder if they’d let you bring a T-shirt cannon to a Wayne Newton or a Tom Jones concert….
	10:10am Brendan: Great tune
	👻 10:10am yerfriendpaul: My wife and I saw Wayne Newton in Vegas 20 years ago or so. He was in a little theater in the round and his voice was shot, but that didn't stop him from entertaining everyone. I didn't know much about him but I was really happy we got to see him. He came to all of our tables and kissed every lady, including my wife. It was tremendous and old school! His cologne was powerful. It hit you from 10 feet away, ha ha
	👻 10:11am Brian in UK: Thank you Joe, for never letting us down.
	10:11am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian, always nice to see you!
	10:16am Asheville Jon: did the chat break?
	👻 10:16am LastWhiteRhino: I always wanted to see Ethel Merman perform but unfortunately never got to see her. I need to see Wayne Newton before it's too late. He has now been officially added to my bucket list.
	10:16am Joe McG: @Jon: I must have put everybody to sleep! :)
	10:17am annie: i was first introduced to Wayne newton when he played spots in I Love Lucy
	10:18am Woo: In 2014 Wayne Newton was in Chicago promoting Vegas. On my way to work I saw Wayne floating down the Chicago River lipsinc-ing Danke Schoen at 8 AM. It was surreal.
	10:19am Tank Top: Surprised to hear Delta 5 in an Apple commercial.
	10:19am Joe McG: @Woo: WOW!
	10:19am Asheville Jon: it's ok Joe, now you are waking us up again!
	10:19am Krys O.: Wayne Newton was on Here's Lucy in 1970. www.imdb.com... Made me think of Tennessee Ernie Ford appearing on I Love Lucy.
	👻 10:20am chresti: Morning Joe and company!
	10:20am gauche knee: Delta 5 4evaaaa!!
	10:20am Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍• ᴗ •◍꒱:+
	10:21am Ryansterlingvirtue: I realize that almost every band I love is derived from Delta 5.
	👻 10:22am PortsmouthJay: Remember that Apple ad recently with Delta 5? :)
	10:22am sphere: I find it hard to believe that Gang of Four did not know Delta 5. hello.
	10:23am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: sphere - the Wikipedia article on Delta 5 says there were part of the same art school scene at Leeds University as Gang of Four, and The Mekons
	10:24am Joe McG: @sphere: Is that right? I always assumed they were buds.
	👻 10:25am Marley P. Dogg: Timmy!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:26am sphere: @ Joe McG - I meant that in a general way, don't know the scene history. Who influenced who then? It really is uncanny.
	10:26am Joe McG: I love this string arrangement!
	10:27am Stephen O: Yes wow
	10:27am Joe McG: @sphere: Ah, I see. Yeah, I'd say that Go4 were really the big influence on a lot of the bands that came after, incl. Delta 5.
	10:27am Mister Dobalina: Cool track, gonna have to clicky star this one.
	10:27am sphere: @ Joe McG - Thanks.
	10:28am Woo: Agree wtith Mister Dobalina
	10:29am sphere: Perhaps this is not a good way to go, but I tend to believe that the smaller band influences the larger bands, especially when they are both around at the same time
	10:34am Joe McG: @sphere: Maybe! Who knows?
	10:35am Frank's Brain: I opened up for Delta 5 w/my first band, the Suave Elbows, at the Dirt Club in Bloomfield, NJ, during their one and only US tour. They were not only a great/groundbreaking band but were also incredibly gracious. Will always remember how kind Julz was.
	10:36am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @sphere - that reminds me of the stories about the Sex Pistols gig at Manchester Free Trade Hall in 1976 which many people later claimed was their inspiration to start their own bands. Members of Joy Division, The Smiths, The Fall and The Buzzcocks were all there, apparently
	10:37am Joe McG: @FB: That's really nice to hear!
	10:37am Krys O.: I seem to recall that the connections shared by bands popular and semi-popular in that time frame was covered in Typical Girls? The Story of the Slits by Zoe Street Howe. It was a lot more egalitarian back in the gestation period of post-punk.
	10:37am holland oats: @fb v cool
	10:38am Handy Haversack: Tommy Roe!
	👻 10:39am tadpoles: Thanks for the Delta 5 Joe. At the time I always mixed them up with the Au Pairs.
	10:39am Krys O.: @Kevin/Ringwood: I know from a friend of mine who was there at the time that the case was true and repeated in other towns where the Sex Pistols played.
	10:39am Woo: Roe just flat out stole Buddy Holly for a bit
	10:39am Krys O.: @tadpoles: Don't forget Girls At Our Best too.
	👻 10:40am Brian in UK: @Frank's Brain, great first band name. An osteopath told me recently that I had stable knees. It was very comforting. No plans to form a band.
	10:41am Handy Haversack: Brian, a ballet dancer once told me I have excellent arches. Also not forming a band, though.
	👻 10:41am tadpoles: Yes Krys O ..... as Yoko said "Woman Power!"
	10:41am Joe McG: @Woo: Oh, totally. War between him and Bobby Vee for the soul of Buddy Holly.
	👻 10:42am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Jacques !
	👻 10:43am Hughie Considine: Wow, so Roe built a whole song around Buddy's pidde de pats in "Heartbeat." That's deep theft.
	10:44am drr: Z.Z. Hill: what a voice.
	10:45am Handy Haversack: Gotta get up the Z.Z. Hill to reach the ZZ Top.
	10:45am drr: @Handy: mind if I use that?
	10:46am Handy Haversack: If you can find a use for it, be my guest!
	10:47am Mister Dobalina: I have not cried today, but I might to do so later on. Not sure.
	10:47am holland oats: poppy family 💕
	10:47am Joe McG: @Handy: Bennett Cerf is calling to you from the grave.
	👻 10:47am Brian in UK: Handy, the Fallen Arches might have possibilities.
	10:48am davefromtoronto: ugh...
	10:48am Handy Haversack: Zombie Bennett Cerf and I are thinking of starting a salon!
	👻 10:49am karlward: Handy: B. B. King of the Z. Z. Hill
	10:49am Joe McG: @Handy: I hope you have a punny name for it!
	10:50am Handy Haversack: Sitting in the Tommy Roe?
	10:52am Joe McG: Punsters Anonymous
	10:52am Frank's Brain: @BrianinUK Suave Elbows with Stable Knees would be a great double-bill for a concert at an osteopathy convention.
	10:54am Mike W.: THE SOUND OF ACTION STEREO... ...IN YOUR FACE!
	11:00am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hi, Joe and folx! I just did that thing where an archive was playing and I looked at this set list and thought?!?!??!!?
	11:01am paul: Never Let Me Down had Bang Bang on it
	11:05am Handy Haversack: Ack, just realized we're going to miss Techtonic tonight! That's never a good idea. Morning, Baba Bee!
	👻 11:06am karlward: Is it "Almost Famous"?
	11:07am Mark Hurst: @Handy no worries, it'll be waiting for you in the archives :) @Joe your summary was better than mine! Covert recording is the problem.
	👻 11:08am karlward: Hit It And Quit It
	👻 11:08am karlward: That's what I call it
	👻 11:09am Ken From Hyde Park: Just add another layer to your tinfoil hat, Handy, and you'll make it through the night.
	11:10am Matt Fiveash: Hooray for doofy rock saxophone!
	👻 11:10am karlward: He can't love you, he don't even have a saxophone
	11:11am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hi, Handy!
	11:11am Joe McG: @Matt: My favorite! Call Clarence!
	👻 11:11am Hughie Considine: Let the provin' begin! I'm gonna start saying that at opportune moments.
	👻 11:11am karlward: There it is!
	👻 11:12am karlward: Why are they all throwing their undergarments at the saxophonist
	👻 11:12am Hughie Considine: I dig it, Joe, but "Midwest Midnight" is the best Michael Stanley Band song.
	11:12am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I gave my best friend an album I loved, except for one song—and she didn't like the album at all—except for that one I didn't like!
	11:13am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: The 80s was a golden era of "one and done" I'll bet!
	11:14am Ramona: Oh yeah... said my memory bank. Thanks for playing last song!
	11:14am Son Of Pantz: This is shaping up to be Best of The Bar Bands 80's Edition
	11:15am drr: whoa, I saw The Sluggers open for Jason and the Scorchers in 1986....talk about bar bands
	11:15am Listener Scott: If you hadn't told us these were one and done records, Joe, I might've guessed. Also, I can tell the sax player in the Michael Stanley track was wearing sunglasses because that was the law back then.
	11:16am Joe McG: Sure, Ramona! @Scott: Ha ha ha
	11:16am Krys O.: LOL! Black Oak Arkansas with Jim Dandy?
	11:16am Son Of Pantz: Tim Krekel is kinda of a legend round these parts. Real nice guy too.
	11:17am Krys O.: @Joe: RSM's early Nashville band played on the same bill as Black Oak Arkansas for a street party.
	11:17am Joe McG: BOA gets extra points for the line about the toilet freezing.
	11:18am The Oscar: "Older Than Grandpa" is like 75% of the way to being a Frogs song.
	11:18am Little Danny: This is rather strange.
	11:18am Little Danny: hi Joe, hi all!
	👻 11:18am chresti: I've had albums like that, i or 2 songs that are killer, the rest filler, or carbon copies of the killer somgs.
	11:18am Rick A: That Michael Stanley Band song was an early MTV hit. I remember seeing that video many times.
	👻 11:19am chresti: *I've bought albums like that. Hi LD!
	11:19am Joe McG: @Rick: Wow, there's a video? I have to see that!
	11:20am Joe McG: @Oscar: Ha ha @Little Danny: Howdy!
	11:21am Krys O.: Clicking the Vikki Carr, for certain.
	👻 11:22am Hughie Considine: Extra poignancy in hearing this from a lady's perspective.
	11:22am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: (said in Sizzler whisper): cchhhrrrreeeessssttiiiikkiiiiiinnnnnsssssssss
	11:24am Rick A: I'm happy to oblige, Joe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HplvE-GXUtw
	11:24am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: long, lonnnng ago, a wise and wizened WFMUer told me it was important to listen to every last moment on every album, because you never knew
	11:24am Joe McG: @Rick: Ooh, happy aftershow viewing!
	11:25am chris_in_space: Thought Kitty Wells was Laura Cantrell at first
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Cats and dogs! Living together! It'll be anarchy!
	👻 11:25am yerfriendpaul: Loving this!
	👻 11:25am chresti: mmmxxxxbbbaaabaaabbeeekkinnnsss!
	11:29am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: chresti and Son of Pantz: have your avatars met yet?
	👻 11:30am chresti: Son of Pantz is my uncle!
	11:31am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: I thought there was a family resemblance!
	11:31am Son Of Pantz: That's right! Pardon me. I must go nap in my Iron Maiden.
	11:32am Joe McG: Missed opportunity: The Morgan Fairchild nighttime soap not adopting this song for the theme.
	11:32am paul: You don't like In Style?!
	11:33am Joe McG: @paul: Not very much! Prefer his first one and "Here Comes the Night."
	11:33am Woo: Joe, you don't like In Style? I think it's a half great album.
	11:34am paul: @Joe, surprising. "She" rocks.
	11:34am Joe McG: @Woo: I like about 2-3 songs, not enough to hold onto it.
	11:35am paul: Agree the first one is the best.
	11:36am Woo: David Jo was so great live that In Style suffered from the studio taming. The first solo just had better material.
	11:36am johnk77: great show selecter this david johansen makes me nostalgic for tramps nightclub
	11:37am Joe McG: Aw, Tramps, I used to like that place a lot....
	11:38am ike-o: peace and greetings from flamingo rd in Las vegas everyone
	11:38am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Remember how mad folx got when Joe and Joe chopped up The White Album!?!? That was fun!
	11:39am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: ike-o: hey! give the flamingos my kindest regards!
	11:39am Joe McG: Hey, ike-O! @Baba: People got REALLY mad about that one! It was fun.
	11:39am Brendan: She looks good to him tonight, but just wait till tomorrow afternoon. She’s gonna look delightful.
	11:40am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: (I mean Joe and Jim—jeez the caffeine is not kicking in)
	👻 11:40am Hughie Considine: Come on, Joe, can't believe you're dissing Starland Vocal Band like this. I mean, "War Surplus Baby" rocks.
	11:40am Woo: Rubbing sticks and stones together
	11:40am Joe McG: @Hughie: Ha ha ha
	11:41am Brendan: Horniest band ever
	11:44am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Joe: maybe you could chop up the "All Things Must Pass" rerelease? ;-)
	11:44am Joe McG: @Brendan: Before they got psychedelic and less horny
	11:44am slugluv1313: awww Flamingo Road 😻😻 thanks so much, Joe McG!!! taking me back to those days when "expensive" shoes really were only $100.00 😺😺 (and missing those days soooo much!) and yes, David Jo really was fantastic live! saw him at The Red Fox Inn in New Brunswick, and one New Year's Eve at The Palladium (& i think that was the year Devo played afterwards, at one of the Lincoln Center venues?) ugh gotta get back to boring chores -- but i will be listening with you all 💜💜💜
	11:45am Mark in Toronto: This song is terrible, but I don't know why.
	11:46am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: slugluv1313: take care!
	11:46am Joe McG: But Mark, that's the GOOD one!
	11:46am Morphe': Thanks Joe McG and all !!!!!!
	👻 11:47am chresti: Franco worked with someone that was in PBC.
	11:47am Rick A: Roger really sounds like Dylan here.
	👻 11:48am chresti: See you, slugluv!
	11:48am chris_in_space: @Rcik A I'll second that. This is some deep-cut Roger McGuinn.
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Joe, the post Rolling Thunder album was not one of his best like the first two. He was always good at picking up songs of others early.
	11:48am Joe McG: @Rick: We wouldn't hear Dylan's original until "Biograph" came out.
	11:48am Rick A: I guess he's trying to do some form of "Tangled Up in Blue".
	11:48am Little Danny: @chresti: I completely associate Franco with PBC now, hi!
	11:48am paul: Yep. This could be on Blood on The Tracks
	👻 11:49am Hughie Considine: This was initially an outtake by Dylan that clearly led to "Shelter from the Storm"
	👻 11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: A set opposite to this might be terrible songs that appeared on otherwise great albums. That may have already happened, though, I don't remember.
	11:50am Joe McG: @Ken: Good idea for a special! The worst song on the otherwise great LP.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Ken, like Student Demonstration Time on Surfs Up?
	11:50am Rick A: I remember when my woman friend at the time purchased the Biograph album. We were all impressed. One guy exclaimed: "This is a good thing to have!" I always have remembered that line.
	11:51am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Ken From Hyde Park: Like most Roger Taylor tracks on Queen albums? (OUCH!)
	11:51am Blix: "The Worst of the Best" sounds like a great show!
	👻 11:51am Hughie Considine: Or the Andy Summers tracks on Police LPs?
	11:52am Mark in Toronto: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
	11:52am full_english_breakfast: lol who could have guessed
	11:52am PMD: oh Joe Joe Joe
	👻 11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Gosh, what a can of worms have I opened!
	👻 11:52am Hughie Considine: Controversial choice
	11:52am The Oscar: YES. My old band used to ironically cover this song, and it was honestly one of the most fun songs we ever did.
	11:52am Rick A: Yea, Play the hits! Their TV show will always be remembered for first featuring David Letterman.
	11:52am Therese: This is your next Hoof duet with Sheila, isn't it?
	11:53am TimBK: I can't hear this song without thinking about Anchorman now.
	11:53am Joe McG: @Therese: Wow, AMAZING IDEA!!
	11:53am βrian: This place has been in business since the 80s and would play the song on a regular loop: www.afternoondelightcafe.com
	11:53am Rick A: Regarding Roger Taylor, "I'm in Love with My Car" is a great song.
	11:53am slugluv1313: YES! what Therese said! (hi Therese!!!)
	👻 11:54am pgalub: Hey Joe and everyone! Also can't think of this tune without "Anchorman" associations, but I think that might improve the tune.
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great week!
	👻 11:54am DjLorraine: David Jo sat with me for an hour in the 90's. I've never seen his show but i was probably the only one that knew he was an entertainer in that club.
	11:54am Krys O.: I second I'm in Love with My Car. Thanks, Joe!
	11:54am johnk77: i loved student demonstration time:>
	11:55am Therese: Hello to you @slugluv1313!
	👻 11:55am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:55am βrian: Irene coming up on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	11:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm pretty sure when this was a hit (and I did have the album) that I didn't know what "afternoon delight" meant.
	11:55am slugluv1313: hi chresti! hi Mx. Baba Bee!
	11:55am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Rick A: that may be the only exception. I like "Drowse," too.
	11:55am W Trenton Vinny: I'd have a hard time parting with that Starland record
	11:56am Listener Scott: Great moment in Arrested Development when Jason Bateman's character and his niece played by Alia Shawkat, suddenly realize halfway through the song they're dueting what the song is about.
	11:56am Brendan: Thanks Joe!
	11:56am Little Danny: @Listener Scott: I was just about to mention that!
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Well, this has been a late-morning delight. Thanks, Joe! Hope to see all you fine people at the next Joe up's!
	11:57am Little Danny: Thank you Joe!
	11:57am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: But "Loser In The End." I wish I could CHOP that song off of QII
	11:57am Cat Stacker: Bill and Taffy Danoff moved to Northern Virginia where their daughters Emma and Lucy grew up with me, Cat Stacker
	11:57am slugluv1313: & memories of all those awkward family moments when The Starland Vocal Band would perform this song on various TV shows 😹😹
	11:58am drr: Ooh! I do! A friend of mine knows Taffy Danoff. He says she likes to smoke cigarettes and do crossword puzzles.Sorry if that's not the answer you wanted. He said she is quite wise and funny.
	11:58am Rich in Washington: David Letterman got his start writing comedy on Starland Vocal Band's short lived variety TV show.
	11:59am Cat Stacker: As a result of this, every single event such as football game, school dance, etc, featured "Afternoon Delight." We heard it a lot. I sold Taffy a lovely gray satin dress once at Georgetown Cotton. Emma Danoff was a style icon at our high school.
	11:59am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Thanks, Joe! Thanks everyone! I always laugh and learn so much here with you all!
	11:59am Lizardner Dave !: For the first several years of their existence "Big Noise in Winnetka" was the song played after the Staten Island Yankees scored a run. The team brought that tradition with them from Watertown, NY and after the first owners sold the team the song was dropped for some other ballpark generica.
	12:00pm slugluv1313: THANK YOU SO MUCH, Joe McG and FMU family!!! you all have gotten me smiling whilst dealing with boring stuff like laundry sorting -- I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
	👻 12:00pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks Joe! Enjoyed the show! Have a great one gang
	12:00pm Cat Stacker: Lucy was the younger sister, and I remember being very outraged at how the assistant principal targeted her for meaningless dress code violations. I suspect it was because he resented "Afternoon Delight" being such a well-crafted pop masterpiece
