	9:05am Handy Haversack: Morning, Mark Hurst!

	9:05am Phillippe: howdy
	9:06am TDK60: Mornin' Joe. I dig Marisa A.
	9:06am Mark Hurst: @Handy top of the mornin'
	9:06am Miss G: Oh man I hope I can listen live to this: Subways and surveillance - with Christopher Robbins from Hell Gate Monday, September 26th, 6pm - 7pm on Techtonic with Mark Hurst In New York City, MetroCards are being phased out in favor of a smartphone-scanning system called OMNY, which tracks the identity, location, and travel habits of every passenger of New York's subways and buses. Christopher Robbins from Hell Gate discusses his "privacy guide to OMNY" - and why we should be skeptical about subway surveillance.
	9:07am The Oscar: Mornin', and a healthy case of the yips to you all!
	9:09am listener james from westwood: Good Monday morn, Joe and everyone!
	9:09am Krys O.: Greetings!
	👻 9:09am DjLorraine: Simply wonderful, gmorning Joe and listeners
	9:09am TDK60: Miss G. What about humans without intelligent phones?
	9:10am Bjarni: Miss G>>Sounds nasty.
	👻 9:10am karlward: Harvey Molotch's great book Against Security spends a chapter talking about how so-called security against fare evasion makes the subways much less safe. If you want a safer subway, make the subway free. press.princeton.edu...
	9:11am Miss G: TDK60 that's what I want to know! I had an old style phone for so long until my parents were always going back and forth to the hospital then my sister insisted. I have a Motorola without a GPS in the drawer. .
	👻 9:12am YETI BOB: Never heard Elijah McLauglin before. Lovely. I see he's based in Chicago, like me. Will keep an eye out. I see he played at Constellation this past Sat night but I'm sure I'll get more chances. Thanks, Joe! Glad to learn about this artist.
	9:13am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe! Appreciate the chill tunes for my post-Frantic come down.
	9:14am Joe McG: Good morning, everybody, and welcome to today's program, the last of September for me. Thanks for dropping by!
	9:14am Handy Haversack: I'm already depressed about having to follow the privacy guidelines for this OMNY mess.
	👻 9:15am YETI BOB: always love hearing Robert Wyatt
	9:15am Mark Hurst: @karlward good pointer, thanks - hadn't heard about that book
	9:16am TDK60: I against this subway change. I was skeptical when they got rid of coins. But the current card seems better than that Orwellian sounding OMNY. Making the subway free the idea I like.
	👻 9:17am YETI BOB: I was living in NYC when "token sucking" was a thing. Different times.
	👻 9:18am karlward: Molotch is at NYU, reach out to him: as.nyu.edu...
	9:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like every Festival or gathering always copacetic until the Fuzz arrives. 'Security' = Insecurity. Not actually always but still. Power to the Poor & the Peaceful.
	9:20am Westrummer: Killer segue, Joe!
	9:20am Mike W.: All trad cons
	9:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...of course the USA has hysterical allergies against well-functioning publicly financed mass transit ...& publicly financed anything. When a religion of rugged individualism make conditions needlessly rugged for all the individuals... & as MLK said - Socialism for the rich anyhow...
	9:23am Colin in Durham England: What a set!
	9:23am Miss G: "a subway token of your love" Oh, Joe, you da man.
	👻 9:24am Webhamster Henry: Yippy Jewish New Year!
	9:25am TDK60: Fine Billy Bragg tune.
	👻 9:25am Webhamster Henry: Fun fact: I've read stories of police tracking perps though the Metrocard system. So this is a refinement, but a big one though, definitely Techtronic worthy.
	9:26am Miss G: Greg from Zone 5 I'm sorry to ask you to work but who from Frantic are "Scott K and Mark" ie what is their page for their pledges? I mean, their shows?
	9:26am rx scabin: Good morning. It has been raining for two days here.
	9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 BillyBragg
	9:26am Colin in Durham England: Brilliant!
	9:26am Daybreak, just Daybreak: Great opening set. It has me as misty as it was this morning.
	9:27am Merlin: Great tunes joe !
	9:27am Dances with Moomins: Hello and happy Moonday. I have some tokens from over the years including really tiny one from the '60s. Stored with old peace symbol and E:R:A: Yes! buttons
	👻 9:27am Marley P. Dogg: Morning Joe and friends - beautiful day out there
	9:27am josh in the uk: This is a perfect soundtrack to a very grey day here in southern england. Thanks Joe.
	9:28am Miss G: Dances with Moomins, that token was in a bowl with a peace symbol from the Central Park Be-In 1967 (left to me by someone else.)
	9:29am Dano59: St. Swithin's Day - just dying when i hear this
	9:31am Handy Haversack: Kippers for breakfast again, Aunt Helga?
	9:31am Joe McG: @Josh and Colin: Sending this set out to you and your beautiful land, which I need to visit again soon.
	👻 9:32am YETI BOB: expect a package today, Handy
	👻 9:32am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Love the fact that so much British music gets played on this station that is not top 40. I know, that sounds obvious but cannot be emphasised enough.
	9:33am Dances with Moomins: Hi Miss G, Didn't start wandering in the city til around '69...but there was magic in the air.....fer sure.
	9:33am Westrummer: The cockney segment!
	9:34am Joe McG: @Brian and Westrummer: Next one goes out to you two.
	9:34am Handy Haversack: Oooo, exciting, YB!
	9:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You are a Lady? Perhaps she said - I may be. Nothing fancy - just the best kind of Writing.
	9:36am Westrummer: Great version!!
	9:37am MplsCoco: Mornin' Joe!
	👻 9:37am Brian in UK: Joe, this song does not fade.
	9:38am Listener Alice in Fanwood: Great version of this
	9:38am josh in the uk: Love this version. I'd say 'no time like the present' to visit what with the pound collapsing against the dollar, but the hospitality industry is on its knees so uh...stay at friends' houses!
	9:38am Baja Joe: Hey there Joe!
	9:39am Westrummer: Joe, I have to run an errand and you are making it too hard to step away!
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: Joe, well you know that you are always welcome in this house out in the country.
	9:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FolkRawk Strummer
	9:40am Joe McG: @Brian: That is so kind! I may take you up on that one day.
	9:40am TDK60: Miss ya, Joe.
	👻 9:42am Webhamster Henry: I'm literally taking muffins out of the oven with my WFMU OVEN GLOVE! Thanks Joe for managing the swag shipping!
	9:42am Dano59: Security? police and prisons are great at protecting the state from the people... crimethinc.com...
	9:43am Joe McG: Follow Joe Strummer's path: www.itinari.com...
	9:45am Dano59: well that was luverly
	9:45am Miss G: Gosh this was wonderful Joe, thank you. (jealous of your oven glove WH!)
	9:45am josh in the uk: I have been to Willesden twice. Once for some great sushi, and another time to visit the Cambodian embassy for a visa. I have nothing bad to say about Willesden.
	9:46am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies!
	9:47am The Butterman: And we are your radio parasites
	9:47am Miss G: (looking at Hellraiser pamphlet, apron is SFL $30/month)
	👻 9:55am Brian in UK: Hall & Oates were on Atlantic, sounds a bit like first album.
	9:55am Dano59: ooh, Rundgrenesque Philly soul
	9:56am London Calling Francky: Agreed @josh. I used to live in Willesden Green about 20 years ago (about the time when that Mescaleros song was released) and it was definitely all right.
	👻 9:57am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe and surface sect!
	9:57am Dano59: @Miss G. - yeah, Mouse of Today level for the BBQ pak: mitt, potholder, cooler, apron
	10:02am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, definitely from the "Whole Oats" era.
	10:08am Uncle Michael: I really love HH&F...Albert Lee forever.
	10:09am Kevin-san: HH&F! Man you're making me feel old today Joe!
	10:14am Kevin-san: And now I have to hit the mute button, guess it was too good to last....
	10:15am Stanley: Aaargh! Giblet O'Horrorman. Hides in bathroom
	10:15am G: You couldn't escape GO'S in the UK in the early 70s. Never heard this one, a non-single I assume. The singles were played to death!
	👻 10:15am karlward: Kevin-san: just imagine that it's McCartney with a cold
	10:16am nathan: @karlward lol, i can hear that
	10:16am Handy Haversack: Look what you did to Stanley, Joe! Whisky, quick!
	10:16am listener james from westwood: Hell yeah for Al Stewart!
	10:17am steveo: I didn't remember Al Stewart's name. But his voice made me think " the year of the cat "
	10:17am Kevin-san: Stanley: come on out man! Were you at RGS when Al Stewart played in the big hall?
	10:17am left_gate: does central jersey suck?
	👻 10:17am Brian in UK: Handy, appreciate your spelling without an 'e'.
	👻 10:18am karlward: A knock on the door. It's McCartney, himself. He says to me "Well done now, tell me how you knew that I was pulling a little Cyrano there, that I was Gilbert all along--come now, was it Ringo? Did he tell you?"
	10:18am miles of middle texas: Ok. Loving the show. Had to put my pick down to say so. ( Not kidding)
	10:19am Handy Haversack: I know what I'm pouring, Brian!
	👻 10:19am yerfriendpaul: Good morning Joe, everyone!
	10:19am Stanley: Hi Kevin - I don't remember that concert and anyway, there was usually a minimum age restriction, fifteen, I thnk. My first gig was seeing Warrior (aka Howard Jones)
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: Where is my copy of 'Past, Present & Future'? Answers on a postcard to......
	10:21am Stanley: Joe - I remember years back when we listened to Bill Mac's show, he'd fade in bits of Gilbert O'Sullivan over tracks just to get me all freaked out.
	10:21am Joe McG: @miles: Pretty great that you're playing some guitar this morning...or else digging up a roadway, one or the other!
	👻 10:22am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Morning all. Shaking out the cobwebs and getting back to work after Frantic City! Thanks to the crowd there for an incredibly positive, fun event, even though it was exhausting!
	10:22am Zinn The Mood: Really busy here hanging wash on the roof in a hurry because the kids are off. Gonna spend the day out. But had to say how much I’m enjoying this set! Great vibe, Joe - thanks!
	10:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HBDs Bryan Ferry (a ♎︎Libra posterchild) & 'Abbey Road'.
	10:23am Kevin-san: @Stanley: the internet sez it was 3rd December, 1971
	10:25am miles of middle texas: Well I'm grubbin' prickly pear to be totally honest. It's a Monday kind of thing. And your show. Thanks!
	10:26am Stanley: Ah, Kevin. I was only in year 2, I think and not eligible. Were there girls at the gigs?
	10:26am Joe McG: @miles: "Grubbin' Prickly Pear" sounds like the best album no one's made yet.
	10:29am Kevin-san: @Stanley: I was in year 5, recently arrived from the other side of London. It was open to the public, so yes, GIRLS! And smoking! I think they stopped those after Curved Air played, much louder than Al
	👻 10:29am Brian in UK: Joe, the great unreleased Hoyt Axton album.
	10:29am Stanley: Kevin - you lucky dog.
	10:30am Chris Hiatt: What was with the crazy intonation on that Bibi Club track? By design?
	👻 10:30am Brian in UK: Stanley, how did the flat photos come out?
	10:32am Stanley: Brian - bootiful. I didn't recognise the place! The sale goes live tomorrow. I'll send you a link.
	10:33am Eugene R.: Beth Orton is on tour with her new album. She will be in Montclair on November 3, so I will let you know how she is doing after I see her.
	10:33am JetBoy now of Astoria: Bon matin all!
	10:34am Toothgrinder Tom: Philadelphia eh?
	10:34am Dano59: Marah's 'East' - one of my favorite songs about Philly
	10:34am Miss G: Oh, laughing! I used to sing this to a certain dirty hippie! (and dance) Thank you Joe
	10:34am unpopularfred: I listened to some of the Beth Orton album and had the same reaction to her voice. She's the same age as me and I'm only mildly craggy.
	10:34am Joe McG: @Eugene: Great news! I think I might go to that show and ask her myself. :)
	10:34am The Oscar: Ha-- my mom always used to sing this song, and I don't know if I've ever actually heard the original!
	10:36am jen v.: i think beth has crohn's disease, joe, and takes lots of heavy steroids, which could have an effect on her voice?
	10:36am Listener Alexandra: Howdy Joe! I still exist and I have a care package for you that needs to go out :)
	10:37am Will: I used to do a radio show on WHUS (UConn) called "South Street" and of course this was the song I played at the beginning of every show!
	10:37am steveo: "Orton said she thinks she’s become less afraid. 'This is how I sing. This is my voice now,' she said. 'This is who I am and this is what life has made of me. And it may be something else next week, or next month, or next year.'" How a Sooty Old Piano Helped Beth Orton Reach a New Creative Peak nyti.ms...
	10:37am Miss G: Missing Sheila B now! but about to take my Sophisticated Boom Boom tote to get kimchi
	10:37am Chris Hiatt: This is fun version of this song!
	10:37am Dano59: This is groovy! ('Tell Her'!)
	10:37am Handy Haversack: Speaking elder voices, we heard 75-year-old Bridget St. John in concert Friday night, and she sounded fantastic. Such a rich, wonderful voice. And we ran into Scott Williams at the show!
	10:37am Joe McG: @jen v: Oh Jeez, I'm terribly sorry to hear that! She deserves extra credit for pushing through. @steveo: Thanks for the link!
	10:38am Dean: "South Street" was also used as a jingle for Cerritos Auto Square in Southern California.
	👻 10:38am DjLorraine: Do dah-do
	10:39am Miss G: wfmu.org... ("Tell Him") October 30, 2020: The Exciters retrospective with Lillian Walker-Moss and Brenda Reid!
	10:41am Dano59: "it don't take much to write a song, ya know" - John C. Fogerty
	10:42am Joe McG: @Miss G: Thanks for posting that link to Sheila B.'s excellent Exciters show.
	10:44am Miss G: Being an amanuensis to the DJ is one of my favorite parts of the show (L what does that say about me, "nerd alert")
	10:45am bradford: always assumed this was by pat benetar...
	10:45am unpopularfred: always dug the Quarterflash song despite it's obvious Benetarishness
	10:46am Joe McG: "Amanuensis" is another word that should be somebody's album title. And how about this violin solo!
	10:46am JetBoy now of Astoria: Quarterflash - to be honest this is where I would expect to hear them if anywhere. I remember seeing them as a guest band on the late night show Fridays that maybe ABC started to combat SNL in 1981 or so. Little kid me thought they were great.
	10:46am jmd: Whoa! Haven’t heard this in decades.
	10:46am unpopularfred: not that obvious Benetarishness is a bad thing. the violin solo distinguishes it
	10:47am Bryant in TO: Just how big was Pat Benatar's cultural influence from in 1981-82? Thinking about all the girls with the Benatar look in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, too
	👻 10:47am Webhamster Henry: NYT TImes obit:, kind of in Joe's Wheelhouse: Jim Post, Known for a Memorably ‘Groovy’ Hit Song, Dies at 82 He and his wife, Cathy Conn, had a Top 10 single with “Reach Out of the Darkness” as Friend & Lover in 1968. It’s still played today, but it was their only hit.
	10:47am Dano59: Surface Noise: Home of the Hits and a safe space for '80s excess
	👻 10:48am karlward: Who else do we have kicking around the studio? Some guy with a violin? Put him on. A saxophonist? Make it a duet.
	10:49am rx scabin: I need this R Shankar.
	10:49am Joe McG: @henry: Oh, bummer. I'll have to bring some Friend and Lover next week.
	10:50am unpopularfred: “Reach Out of the Darkness” is a great song, only Friend and Lover I know though
	10:51am Joe McG: WFMU: Where Quarterflash Shakes Hands with Ravi Shankar
	10:51am Handy Haversack: Nice surface noise on this one.
	10:51am Miss g: Oh wh i saw that Headline but did not read it. I love that song it’s one of my favorites. I will go read about those people
	10:52am holland oats: well if that wasn't segué of the year
	10:52am Dano59: For the Shankar side in the Bangladesh box, I can't help saying "I think he played this one already"
	10:52am βrian: Segue? I don't follow.
	10:52am Joe McG: This Shankar raga is a real shortie, 6:52, but pretty impressive in length for a single.
	10:53am Jack: This raga reminds me how happy I am that Bryce is back in the lineup again.
	10:54am unpopularfred: @ Joe McG 10:51 - I expect nothing less
	10:54am Dano59: Longest 45 side I know might be Springsteen -- Jersey Girl.
	10:57am Mike W.: Thought we had a Figure 8 scenario here, o deceptive piana
	10:57am G: The jukebox industry hated those long singles in the early 70s. I remember them complaining in the music press about "In the Rain." Longer 45s = less income.
	10:59am bradford: this song makes me itchy
	10:59am Uncle Michael: This chorus is my ringtone for my dad's calls.
	11:00am Krys O.: Crikey! Haven't heard this Wayne song in ages.
	11:00am Ian: Randy to Wayne, sublime to ridiculous.
	11:00am Dano59: no, my mistake - another live Boss B-side: Incident On 57th Street (10:03!!)
	11:01am Krys O.: Could Clint Holmes be next?
	11:01am Gerry from Miami: Uncle Michael lives! Looking forward to your show this coming Saturday.
	11:01am listener james from westwood: Mister Las Vegas! Still performing, too, it seems, after managing COVID last summer.
	11:02am Uncle Michael: On the archives, Gerry?
	11:02am Krys O.: Specifically Playground in My Mind.
	11:02am steveo: The noise, it surfaces
	11:02am Uncle Michael: great runout groove!
	11:02am Dano59: this song is forever playing with Games People Play and Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues in the AM radio of my mind
	11:02am Gerry from Miami: Oops! Uncle Mike, you're on Fridays! Sorry. See you then!
	👻 11:04am YETI BOB: Krys O: I'd have to (temporarily) change the station if that song came on!
	11:04am mb: Morning Joe McG and the people
	11:05am Uncle Michael: whew!
	11:07am Dano59: I see that the Perfumed Garden is back on the Friday schedule so now I have no reason to go out.
	11:10am ?: Fantastic show today, Joe. Thank you!
	11:10am Lizardner Dave !: OMNY also takes credit cards.
	11:10am Chris Hiatt: Yes, no smart phone needed.
	11:11am D Rok: If you don't carry cell phones OR credit cards, you can also buy dedicated OMNY cards from certain vendors around the city (though much less convenient to get than metro cards).
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Using a CC does not ameliorate the tracking and surveillance aspects. Here's the article from Mark Hurst's guest tonight: hellgatenyc.com...
	11:14am Lizardner Dave !: As someone who lives on Staten Island where there are virtually no metro card machines at all OMNY is an upgrade for me as I now no longer have to worry about buying a MetroCard first if I need to jump on the bus into Manhattan (with only one subway line out here most public transit users are reliant on buses).
	11:14am D Rok: @Handy Haversack: of course. CCs are very trackable!
	11:15am trailrunnah: Joe mills his flour too.. 😂
	11:17am Joe McG: @james: Glad to hear that Wayne is OK!
	11:17am JetBoy now of Astoria: If you use a refillable or unlimited metro card, they track you by station and time of entry already anyway. I can go online and see everywhere I’ve been
	11:18am Handy Haversack: Yeah, D Rok, I'm not looking forward to the dance of trying to use the CC that provides me with pretax travel-restricted funds, having it rejected at the vendors, and having to buy the preloaded cards with cash and then submit claims for reimbursement.
	11:18am Lizardner Dave !: While I appreciate people wanting to maintain anonymity it's fairly impossible in an urban setting. There are cameras on the streets, cameras on the buses, and cameras in every building. If someone wants to figure out where I'm going in NYC, they're going to, and at least OMNY makes it easier for me to get there. As far as the "privacy tax" is concerned, if you're not a full time commuter and you've never had a Metrocard expire with a few bucks left on it, good for you.
	11:19am Miss g: Have to say thank you ahead of time Joe. I forgot my headphones. I walked out of the car right when that song about his daddy came on. Tant pis pour moi.
	11:19am Lizardner Dave !: And if Hochul gets her way there are about to be cameras in EVERY subway car.
	11:20am Dean: So, Kottke performs Siebel's "Louise" on Greenhouse. Is there a thread to this set?
	11:21am Dano59: the Kottke Konnektion
	11:21am PNX: I like where this set is going - appreciate your multifaceted musicological mind, Joe
	11:24am Joe McG: Whoops, played wrong song - set goes down the tubers! :)
	👻 11:24am Webhamster Henry: Nilsson is always welcome
	11:24am nathan: Nilsson! i got the Popeye soundtrack for 2 bucks at Frantic City this weekend
	11:24am Mike W.: Feels like the theme from Courtship of Eddie’s Father is coming up
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Never would have happened with 45s, Joe!
	👻 11:24am YETI BOB: You could always just switch over to a Pharoah Sanders tribute, Joe
	11:24am JetBoy now of Astoria: Yes always good to hear Nilsson
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: I have been searching for years trying to find a copy of a Ralph Steadman drawing I saw in a book once. Even wrote to him but got no reply. It was called 'Penguins on Hearing the Death of Amelia Earhart'.
	👻 11:25am YETI BOB: (I like Nilsson too.)
	11:25am RevWaldo: The Davy Jones version from Head (with Toni Basi!) always makes me smile.
	11:26am MFOOZ: I like Harry, but that version of Daddy's Song is even more annoying than the Monkees'.
	11:26am TVP: @RevWaldo - saw Head only a couple weeks ago. Definitely a highlight of a very, very weird movie.
	11:27am The Oscar: I've always loved that Nilsson was one of the greatest lyricists in pop music, but half of his songs are nonsense mouth noises.
	11:27am Handy Haversack: Tricksome Nilsson.
	👻 11:28am Brian in UK: Already heard this song twice in my head!!!
	11:28am Joe McG: Apparently I've forgotten how to read a record label.
	👻 11:28am Webhamster Henry: From the age of concept albums.
	👻 11:30am YETI BOB: What's next, NMH "Holland 1945"? (Not a request, just a guess)
	11:30am Bryant in TO: And album movies!
	11:31am Dominick: Povere Italia
	11:31am RevWaldo: @TVP - yep! sets up one of the best lines in the film too - Frank Zappa: That song was pretty white. Davy: So am I, what can I tell you?
	11:32am Joe McG: @Handy: Very true! @Yeti: Not a bad idea!
	11:36am morphe': Must go out now .. Thanks Joe and all...
	11:36am love2laf: Good morning Joe & all. Working hard, but had to check the comments board to see if I missed out on news about Randy Newman, kinda like when someone is trending on twitter. The music this morning suits me so very well. Cheers for the music.
	11:37am Erin in TO: Haven't been able to listen all the time or chat due to work being busy, but loved everything I've been able to tune into today. Always love your show, Joe
	👻 11:38am Webhamster Henry: I'm actually listing to a shofar service on another stream as well.
	11:39am eva: love julia jacklin. enjoying today’s show.
	👻 11:40am Webhamster Henry: @Brian in the UK: not much of a substitute, but here's MidJourney's take on " 'Penguins on Hearing the Death of Amelia Earhart' in the style of Ralph Steadman" cdn.discordapp.com...
	11:40am BerkeleyGuy: @Webhamster Henry Shanah tovah
	11:41am Joe McG: Thanks, Erin and eva. I'm a late convert, but I think Julia Jacklin is one of the bravest lyricists around these days. She must have to do some serious self-distancing to be able to sing these every night!
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: Joe, love the vibe on this show. It has taken the weather here from late September sun to incoming rain. Not altogether a bad thing.
	11:42am listener 126464: Great show today, Joe!
	11:43am G: Randy N was at JazzFest in April. Saw him. I thought he was fine, but I don't think he thought so -- he said the audience should ask for a refund. He could barely shuffle on and off stage, but the singing and playing seemed fine, really.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No less than Wes.
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: Webhamster Henry Thanks. Feels like the same atmosphere. Been so long beginning to wonder if I invented it.
	11:45am Brendan: lovely show Joe. Something melancholy about it.
	11:46am Joe McG: @Brendan: I'm in that kind of mood, I guess!
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Brian, we canoed thirty miles yesterday completely around Manhattan, and we hit some hard rain basically as we approached Jersey City on the Hudson, but I could see landmarks starting to clear (Colgate clock, Statue of Liberty, Verrazano), and I knew the weather would pass by. Then we hit the East River and got the golden light of September sun magic hour as the current and wind took us home. It was a pretty great September weather combo. As you say, the two complement each other.

	9:05am Phillippe: howdy
	9:06am TDK60: Mornin' Joe. I dig Marisa A.
	9:06am Mark Hurst: @Handy top of the mornin'
	9:06am Miss G: Oh man I hope I can listen live to this: Subways and surveillance - with Christopher Robbins from Hell Gate Monday, September 26th, 6pm - 7pm on Techtonic with Mark Hurst In New York City, MetroCards are being phased out in favor of a smartphone-scanning system called OMNY, which tracks the identity, location, and travel habits of every passenger of New York's subways and buses. Christopher Robbins from Hell Gate discusses his "privacy guide to OMNY" - and why we should be skeptical about subway surveillance.
	9:07am The Oscar: Mornin', and a healthy case of the yips to you all!
	9:09am listener james from westwood: Good Monday morn, Joe and everyone!
	9:09am Krys O.: Greetings!
	👻 9:09am DjLorraine: Simply wonderful, gmorning Joe and listeners
	9:09am TDK60: Miss G. What about humans without intelligent phones?
	9:10am Bjarni: Miss G>>Sounds nasty.
	👻 9:10am karlward: Harvey Molotch's great book Against Security spends a chapter talking about how so-called security against fare evasion makes the subways much less safe. If you want a safer subway, make the subway free. press.princeton.edu...
	9:11am Miss G: TDK60 that's what I want to know! I had an old style phone for so long until my parents were always going back and forth to the hospital then my sister insisted. I have a Motorola without a GPS in the drawer. .
	👻 9:12am YETI BOB: Never heard Elijah McLauglin before. Lovely. I see he's based in Chicago, like me. Will keep an eye out. I see he played at Constellation this past Sat night but I'm sure I'll get more chances. Thanks, Joe! Glad to learn about this artist.
	9:13am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe! Appreciate the chill tunes for my post-Frantic come down.
	9:14am Joe McG: Good morning, everybody, and welcome to today's program, the last of September for me. Thanks for dropping by!

	👻 9:15am YETI BOB: always love hearing Robert Wyatt
	9:15am Mark Hurst: @karlward good pointer, thanks - hadn't heard about that book
	9:16am TDK60: I against this subway change. I was skeptical when they got rid of coins. But the current card seems better than that Orwellian sounding OMNY. Making the subway free the idea I like.
	👻 9:17am YETI BOB: I was living in NYC when "token sucking" was a thing. Different times.
	👻 9:18am karlward: Molotch is at NYU, reach out to him: as.nyu.edu...
	9:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like every Festival or gathering always copacetic until the Fuzz arrives. 'Security' = Insecurity. Not actually always but still. Power to the Poor & the Peaceful.
	9:20am Westrummer: Killer segue, Joe!
	9:20am Mike W.: All trad cons
	9:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...of course the USA has hysterical allergies against well-functioning publicly financed mass transit ...& publicly financed anything. When a religion of rugged individualism make conditions needlessly rugged for all the individuals... & as MLK said - Socialism for the rich anyhow...
	9:23am Colin in Durham England: What a set!
	9:23am Miss G: "a subway token of your love" Oh, Joe, you da man.
	👻 9:24am Webhamster Henry: Yippy Jewish New Year!
	9:25am TDK60: Fine Billy Bragg tune.
	👻 9:25am Webhamster Henry: Fun fact: I've read stories of police tracking perps though the Metrocard system. So this is a refinement, but a big one though, definitely Techtronic worthy.
	9:26am Miss G: Greg from Zone 5 I'm sorry to ask you to work but who from Frantic are "Scott K and Mark" ie what is their page for their pledges? I mean, their shows?
	9:26am rx scabin: Good morning. It has been raining for two days here.

	👻 9:27am Marley P. Dogg: Morning Joe and friends - beautiful day out there
	9:27am josh in the uk: This is a perfect soundtrack to a very grey day here in southern england. Thanks Joe.
	9:28am Miss G: Dances with Moomins, that token was in a bowl with a peace symbol from the Central Park Be-In 1967 (left to me by someone else.)

	👻 9:32am YETI BOB: expect a package today, Handy
	👻 9:32am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Love the fact that so much British music gets played on this station that is not top 40. I know, that sounds obvious but cannot be emphasised enough.
	9:33am Dances with Moomins: Hi Miss G, Didn't start wandering in the city til around '69...but there was magic in the air.....fer sure.
	9:33am Westrummer: The cockney segment!
	9:34am Joe McG: @Brian and Westrummer: Next one goes out to you two.
	9:34am Handy Haversack: Oooo, exciting, YB!
	9:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You are a Lady? Perhaps she said - I may be. Nothing fancy - just the best kind of Writing.
	9:36am Westrummer: Great version!!
	9:37am MplsCoco: Mornin' Joe!
	👻 9:37am Brian in UK: Joe, this song does not fade.
	9:38am Listener Alice in Fanwood: Great version of this
	9:38am josh in the uk: Love this version. I'd say 'no time like the present' to visit what with the pound collapsing against the dollar, but the hospitality industry is on its knees so uh...stay at friends' houses!
	9:38am Baja Joe: Hey there Joe!
	9:39am Westrummer: Joe, I have to run an errand and you are making it too hard to step away!
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: Joe, well you know that you are always welcome in this house out in the country.

	9:42am Dano59: Security? police and prisons are great at protecting the state from the people... crimethinc.com...

	9:45am Dano59: well that was luverly
	9:45am Miss G: Gosh this was wonderful Joe, thank you. (jealous of your oven glove WH!)
	9:45am josh in the uk: I have been to Willesden twice. Once for some great sushi, and another time to visit the Cambodian embassy for a visa. I have nothing bad to say about Willesden.
	9:46am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies!
	9:47am The Butterman: And we are your radio parasites
	9:47am Miss G: (looking at Hellraiser pamphlet, apron is SFL $30/month)
	👻 9:55am Brian in UK: Hall & Oates were on Atlantic, sounds a bit like first album.
	9:55am Dano59: ooh, Rundgrenesque Philly soul
	9:56am London Calling Francky: Agreed @josh. I used to live in Willesden Green about 20 years ago (about the time when that Mescaleros song was released) and it was definitely all right.
	👻 9:57am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe and surface sect!
	9:57am Dano59: @Miss G. - yeah, Mouse of Today level for the BBQ pak: mitt, potholder, cooler, apron

	10:15am Stanley: Aaargh! Giblet O'Horrorman. Hides in bathroom
	10:15am G: You couldn't escape GO'S in the UK in the early 70s. Never heard this one, a non-single I assume. The singles were played to death!
	👻 10:15am karlward: Kevin-san: just imagine that it's McCartney with a cold
	10:16am nathan: @karlward lol, i can hear that
	10:16am Handy Haversack: Look what you did to Stanley, Joe! Whisky, quick!
	10:16am listener james from westwood: Hell yeah for Al Stewart!
	10:17am steveo: I didn't remember Al Stewart's name. But his voice made me think " the year of the cat "
	10:17am Kevin-san: Stanley: come on out man! Were you at RGS when Al Stewart played in the big hall?
	10:17am left_gate: does central jersey suck?
	👻 10:17am Brian in UK: Handy, appreciate your spelling without an 'e'.
	👻 10:18am karlward: A knock on the door. It's McCartney, himself. He says to me "Well done now, tell me how you knew that I was pulling a little Cyrano there, that I was Gilbert all along--come now, was it Ringo? Did he tell you?"
	10:18am miles of middle texas: Ok. Loving the show. Had to put my pick down to say so. ( Not kidding)
	10:19am Handy Haversack: I know what I'm pouring, Brian!
	👻 10:19am yerfriendpaul: Good morning Joe, everyone!
	10:19am Stanley: Hi Kevin - I don't remember that concert and anyway, there was usually a minimum age restriction, fifteen, I thnk. My first gig was seeing Warrior (aka Howard Jones)
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: Where is my copy of 'Past, Present & Future'? Answers on a postcard to......
	10:21am Stanley: Joe - I remember years back when we listened to Bill Mac's show, he'd fade in bits of Gilbert O'Sullivan over tracks just to get me all freaked out.
	10:21am Joe McG: @miles: Pretty great that you're playing some guitar this morning...or else digging up a roadway, one or the other!
	👻 10:22am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Morning all. Shaking out the cobwebs and getting back to work after Frantic City! Thanks to the crowd there for an incredibly positive, fun event, even though it was exhausting!

	10:23am Kevin-san: @Stanley: the internet sez it was 3rd December, 1971
	10:25am miles of middle texas: Well I'm grubbin' prickly pear to be totally honest. It's a Monday kind of thing. And your show. Thanks!
	10:26am Stanley: Ah, Kevin. I was only in year 2, I think and not eligible. Were there girls at the gigs?
	10:26am Joe McG: @miles: "Grubbin' Prickly Pear" sounds like the best album no one's made yet.
	10:29am Kevin-san: @Stanley: I was in year 5, recently arrived from the other side of London. It was open to the public, so yes, GIRLS! And smoking! I think they stopped those after Curved Air played, much louder than Al
	👻 10:29am Brian in UK: Joe, the great unreleased Hoyt Axton album.
	10:29am Stanley: Kevin - you lucky dog.
	10:30am Chris Hiatt: What was with the crazy intonation on that Bibi Club track? By design?

	10:34am Joe McG: @Eugene: Great news! I think I might go to that show and ask her myself. :)
	10:34am The Oscar: Ha-- my mom always used to sing this song, and I don't know if I've ever actually heard the original!
	10:36am jen v.: i think beth has crohn's disease, joe, and takes lots of heavy steroids, which could have an effect on her voice?
	10:36am Listener Alexandra: Howdy Joe! I still exist and I have a care package for you that needs to go out :)
	10:37am Will: I used to do a radio show on WHUS (UConn) called "South Street" and of course this was the song I played at the beginning of every show!
	10:37am steveo: "Orton said she thinks she’s become less afraid. 'This is how I sing. This is my voice now,' she said. 'This is who I am and this is what life has made of me. And it may be something else next week, or next month, or next year.'" How a Sooty Old Piano Helped Beth Orton Reach a New Creative Peak nyti.ms...

	10:42am Joe McG: @Miss G: Thanks for posting that link to Sheila B.'s excellent Exciters show.
	10:44am Miss G: Being an amanuensis to the DJ is one of my favorite parts of the show (L what does that say about me, "nerd alert")
	10:45am bradford: always assumed this was by pat benetar...
	10:45am unpopularfred: always dug the Quarterflash song despite it's obvious Benetarishness
	10:46am Joe McG: "Amanuensis" is another word that should be somebody's album title. And how about this violin solo!
	10:46am JetBoy now of Astoria: Quarterflash - to be honest this is where I would expect to hear them if anywhere. I remember seeing them as a guest band on the late night show Fridays that maybe ABC started to combat SNL in 1981 or so. Little kid me thought they were great.
	10:46am jmd: Whoa! Haven’t heard this in decades.
	10:46am unpopularfred: not that obvious Benetarishness is a bad thing. the violin solo distinguishes it
	10:47am Bryant in TO: Just how big was Pat Benatar's cultural influence from in 1981-82? Thinking about all the girls with the Benatar look in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, too
	👻 10:47am Webhamster Henry: NYT TImes obit:, kind of in Joe's Wheelhouse: Jim Post, Known for a Memorably ‘Groovy’ Hit Song, Dies at 82 He and his wife, Cathy Conn, had a Top 10 single with “Reach Out of the Darkness” as Friend & Lover in 1968. It’s still played today, but it was their only hit.
	10:47am Dano59: Surface Noise: Home of the Hits and a safe space for '80s excess
	👻 10:48am karlward: Who else do we have kicking around the studio? Some guy with a violin? Put him on. A saxophonist? Make it a duet.
	10:49am rx scabin: I need this R Shankar.
	10:49am Joe McG: @henry: Oh, bummer. I'll have to bring some Friend and Lover next week.
	10:50am unpopularfred: “Reach Out of the Darkness” is a great song, only Friend and Lover I know though
	10:51am Joe McG: WFMU: Where Quarterflash Shakes Hands with Ravi Shankar
	10:51am Handy Haversack: Nice surface noise on this one.
	10:51am Miss g: Oh wh i saw that Headline but did not read it. I love that song it’s one of my favorites. I will go read about those people
	10:52am holland oats: well if that wasn't segué of the year
	10:52am Dano59: For the Shankar side in the Bangladesh box, I can't help saying "I think he played this one already"
	10:52am βrian: Segue? I don't follow.
	10:52am Joe McG: This Shankar raga is a real shortie, 6:52, but pretty impressive in length for a single.
	10:53am Jack: This raga reminds me how happy I am that Bryce is back in the lineup again.
	10:54am unpopularfred: @ Joe McG 10:51 - I expect nothing less
	10:54am Dano59: Longest 45 side I know might be Springsteen -- Jersey Girl.
	10:57am Mike W.: Thought we had a Figure 8 scenario here, o deceptive piana
	10:57am G: The jukebox industry hated those long singles in the early 70s. I remember them complaining in the music press about "In the Rain." Longer 45s = less income.
	10:59am bradford: this song makes me itchy
	10:59am Uncle Michael: This chorus is my ringtone for my dad's calls.
	11:00am Krys O.: Crikey! Haven't heard this Wayne song in ages.
	11:00am Ian: Randy to Wayne, sublime to ridiculous.
	11:00am Dano59: no, my mistake - another live Boss B-side: Incident On 57th Street (10:03!!)
	11:01am Krys O.: Could Clint Holmes be next?
	11:01am Gerry from Miami: Uncle Michael lives! Looking forward to your show this coming Saturday.
	11:01am listener james from westwood: Mister Las Vegas! Still performing, too, it seems, after managing COVID last summer.
	11:02am Uncle Michael: On the archives, Gerry?
	11:02am Krys O.: Specifically Playground in My Mind.
	11:02am steveo: The noise, it surfaces
	11:02am Uncle Michael: great runout groove!
	11:02am Dano59: this song is forever playing with Games People Play and Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues in the AM radio of my mind
	11:02am Gerry from Miami: Oops! Uncle Mike, you're on Fridays! Sorry. See you then!
	👻 11:04am YETI BOB: Krys O: I'd have to (temporarily) change the station if that song came on!
	11:04am mb: Morning Joe McG and the people
	11:05am Uncle Michael: whew!
	11:07am Dano59: I see that the Perfumed Garden is back on the Friday schedule so now I have no reason to go out.
	11:10am ?: Fantastic show today, Joe. Thank you!
	11:10am Lizardner Dave !: OMNY also takes credit cards.
	11:10am Chris Hiatt: Yes, no smart phone needed.
	11:11am D Rok: If you don't carry cell phones OR credit cards, you can also buy dedicated OMNY cards from certain vendors around the city (though much less convenient to get than metro cards).
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Using a CC does not ameliorate the tracking and surveillance aspects. Here's the article from Mark Hurst's guest tonight: hellgatenyc.com...
	11:14am Lizardner Dave !: As someone who lives on Staten Island where there are virtually no metro card machines at all OMNY is an upgrade for me as I now no longer have to worry about buying a MetroCard first if I need to jump on the bus into Manhattan (with only one subway line out here most public transit users are reliant on buses).
	11:14am D Rok: @Handy Haversack: of course. CCs are very trackable!
	11:15am trailrunnah: Joe mills his flour too.. 😂
	11:17am Joe McG: @james: Glad to hear that Wayne is OK!
	11:17am JetBoy now of Astoria: If you use a refillable or unlimited metro card, they track you by station and time of entry already anyway. I can go online and see everywhere I’ve been
	11:18am Handy Haversack: Yeah, D Rok, I'm not looking forward to the dance of trying to use the CC that provides me with pretax travel-restricted funds, having it rejected at the vendors, and having to buy the preloaded cards with cash and then submit claims for reimbursement.
	11:18am Lizardner Dave !: While I appreciate people wanting to maintain anonymity it's fairly impossible in an urban setting. There are cameras on the streets, cameras on the buses, and cameras in every building. If someone wants to figure out where I'm going in NYC, they're going to, and at least OMNY makes it easier for me to get there. As far as the "privacy tax" is concerned, if you're not a full time commuter and you've never had a Metrocard expire with a few bucks left on it, good for you.
	11:19am Miss g: Have to say thank you ahead of time Joe. I forgot my headphones. I walked out of the car right when that song about his daddy came on. Tant pis pour moi.
	11:19am Lizardner Dave !: And if Hochul gets her way there are about to be cameras in EVERY subway car.
	11:20am Dean: So, Kottke performs Siebel's "Louise" on Greenhouse. Is there a thread to this set?
	11:21am Dano59: the Kottke Konnektion
	11:21am PNX: I like where this set is going - appreciate your multifaceted musicological mind, Joe
	11:24am Joe McG: Whoops, played wrong song - set goes down the tubers! :)
	👻 11:24am Webhamster Henry: Nilsson is always welcome
	11:24am nathan: Nilsson! i got the Popeye soundtrack for 2 bucks at Frantic City this weekend
	11:24am Mike W.: Feels like the theme from Courtship of Eddie’s Father is coming up
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Never would have happened with 45s, Joe!
	👻 11:24am YETI BOB: You could always just switch over to a Pharoah Sanders tribute, Joe
	11:24am JetBoy now of Astoria: Yes always good to hear Nilsson
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: I have been searching for years trying to find a copy of a Ralph Steadman drawing I saw in a book once. Even wrote to him but got no reply. It was called 'Penguins on Hearing the Death of Amelia Earhart'.
	👻 11:25am YETI BOB: (I like Nilsson too.)
	11:25am RevWaldo: The Davy Jones version from Head (with Toni Basi!) always makes me smile.
	11:26am MFOOZ: I like Harry, but that version of Daddy's Song is even more annoying than the Monkees'.
	11:26am TVP: @RevWaldo - saw Head only a couple weeks ago. Definitely a highlight of a very, very weird movie.
	11:27am The Oscar: I've always loved that Nilsson was one of the greatest lyricists in pop music, but half of his songs are nonsense mouth noises.
	11:27am Handy Haversack: Tricksome Nilsson.
	👻 11:28am Brian in UK: Already heard this song twice in my head!!!
	11:28am Joe McG: Apparently I've forgotten how to read a record label.
	👻 11:28am Webhamster Henry: From the age of concept albums.
	👻 11:30am YETI BOB: What's next, NMH "Holland 1945"? (Not a request, just a guess)
	11:30am Bryant in TO: And album movies!
	11:31am Dominick: Povere Italia
	11:31am RevWaldo: @TVP - yep! sets up one of the best lines in the film too - Frank Zappa: That song was pretty white. Davy: So am I, what can I tell you?
	11:32am Joe McG: @Handy: Very true! @Yeti: Not a bad idea!
	11:36am morphe': Must go out now .. Thanks Joe and all...
	11:36am love2laf: Good morning Joe & all. Working hard, but had to check the comments board to see if I missed out on news about Randy Newman, kinda like when someone is trending on twitter. The music this morning suits me so very well. Cheers for the music.
	11:37am Erin in TO: Haven't been able to listen all the time or chat due to work being busy, but loved everything I've been able to tune into today. Always love your show, Joe
	👻 11:38am Webhamster Henry: I'm actually listing to a shofar service on another stream as well.
	11:39am eva: love julia jacklin. enjoying today’s show.
	👻 11:40am Webhamster Henry: @Brian in the UK: not much of a substitute, but here's MidJourney's take on " 'Penguins on Hearing the Death of Amelia Earhart' in the style of Ralph Steadman" cdn.discordapp.com...
	11:40am BerkeleyGuy: @Webhamster Henry Shanah tovah
	11:41am Joe McG: Thanks, Erin and eva. I'm a late convert, but I think Julia Jacklin is one of the bravest lyricists around these days. She must have to do some serious self-distancing to be able to sing these every night!
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: Joe, love the vibe on this show. It has taken the weather here from late September sun to incoming rain. Not altogether a bad thing.
	11:42am listener 126464: Great show today, Joe!
	11:43am G: Randy N was at JazzFest in April. Saw him. I thought he was fine, but I don't think he thought so -- he said the audience should ask for a refund. He could barely shuffle on and off stage, but the singing and playing seemed fine, really.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No less than Wes.
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: Webhamster Henry Thanks. Feels like the same atmosphere. Been so long beginning to wonder if I invented it.
	11:45am Brendan: lovely show Joe. Something melancholy about it.
	11:46am Joe McG: @Brendan: I'm in that kind of mood, I guess!
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Brian, we canoed thirty miles yesterday completely around Manhattan, and we hit some hard rain basically as we approached Jersey City on the Hudson, but I could see landmarks starting to clear (Colgate clock, Statue of Liberty, Verrazano), and I knew the weather would pass by. Then we hit the East River and got the golden light of September sun magic hour as the current and wind took us home. It was a pretty great September weather combo. As you say, the two complement each other.
	11:47am BLCKDGRD: Rest in Power, Pharoah Sanders, of all of the recent RIPs this one gutpunches
	11:48am Yes: <3 <3 <3
	11:49am PaulRobeson1922: <3
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: Handy, congrats on surviving it. Sounds tiring but magical.
	11:50am marcus in ATX: My god!! This is fantastic
	11:51am Joe McG: Just a couple to whet your appetite for BLT's tribute show, filling in for Michele with One L tomorrow at noon.
	11:51am McGroovey: Wonderful sax in the morning. That is all.
	👻 11:52am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:52am rx scabin: Dinner is prepped, and I must go to work. I am staying until this PS song is over. Thank you, Joe for the fine morning music.
	11:52am Yes: a BLT pharoah show you say? nicee
	11:53am Yes: thanks joe
	11:53am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! I hope you had fun today. I did! I'll see you in October. Have a great week.
	11:54am bradford: It's been a pleasure as always Joe. Thank you!
	11:54am Pax: Adios 4 now Joseph.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: How did it get so late? I blame Tricksome Nilsson! Many thanks, Joe. Really wondrous show. Stay on top, Surfactants!
	11:54am βrian: Here comes Irene, on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	11:55am Miss G: Home in time to say, if you like, Joe you can tell Sheila B that I just had the best time explaining to the young lady checking me out for the market what the song "Sophisticated Boom Boom" is and the show and the station and she loved the depth of the bag
	11:55am Dominick: Thanks Joe
	11:55am Joe McG: @Miss G: I will do! I'm seeing Sheila on Wednesday, so I'll let her know....
	11:58am Kevin-san: That was awesome, RIP... thanks for the heads-up on the PS tribute. And thanks for making Monday morning fun, Joe
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JoeMcG ~
	11:58am Miss G: BLT fills in for Michele with a special all Pharoah / Pharoah related show! Tuesday, September 27th, Noon - 3pm
	11:59am Chris Hiatt: Yeah, one has to be careful with a soprano. It's good only in the right hands. RIP Pharoah. Nice show! I don't always tune in Monday AMs, love the vibe, thanks!
	11:59am Miss G: (selfishly whined to myself with news Pharoah Sanders died, "now who will tell me what to listen to?)
	👻 12:00pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks Joe!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Coltrane made Soprano Sax a reedy Eastern sounding vehicle.
	12:02pm SamTheRam: Thanks Joe for another wonderful Monday Morning
	8:58pm clarke: joe mcG - i don't know if anyone checks here, after the show is done, but i finally got a chance to archive this show and it is a KEEPah!! well-done and RARE!!
