	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Crownless Gander: Typewriter will always make me think of Martin Short as Jerry Lewis in Scenes from an Idiot's Marriage.
	♥ 10:01am Zipperhead7: Leroy Anderson was my favorite composer when I was a kid. What a nice surprise this morning!

	♥ 10:05am Creature Boy: space
	♥ 10:06am Baja Joe: Greetings Joe. Brilliant theme for a set. I had to take typing in high school. It is one of those rare instances where I used what I had learned in HS later in life.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06am tadpoles: Thoughts of Bowie dancing on the typewriter in "Absolute Beginners" singing "That's Motivation"!....a hidden gem. Cheers.
	10:06am Menlo Park: Gbh dri MDC sov
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: @Baja Joe: I had to take it, too, and it did me a lot of good! @tadpoles: I want to see that movie!

	🎸 ♥ 10:10am Jason from Houston: asdfjkl;
	10:10am Zydeco Phil: Love this. The most mellow Janis ever was
	♥ 10:10am Roberto: Wow, I didn't realize Janis and Jorma hung out before they was all famous.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10am Jason from Houston: I still got it. Didn't even have to look.
	♥ 10:11am Creature Boy: Also Walter matthau's "typing on the type writer" from The Sunshine Boys comes to mind
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am Hughie Considine: Carol Burnett did great things with a typewriter as Mrs. Wiggins, who typed maddeningly slowly.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am tadpoles: The film is also worth it Joe for Ray Davies singing "Quiet Life"...another very Kinks gem. Julien Temple got a lot of flack for the film but it has a lot to be worthy of. Wow Janis in 1964...incredible!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am The Oscar: "Goofin' on the Job" by Napoleon XIV is a pretty great typewriter song.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am Jason from Houston: Nice. There it is.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am Handy Haversack: Oh, I was hoping for this one! I love this song.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am Jason from Houston: Handy knows.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am Handy Haversack: Jason gets it.
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: @Oscar: I don't know that one, I'll have to check it out! I didn't know he did anything except the hit.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Jason from Houston: [sung in unison]
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am JG: Love the Pogues. Forgot about the typing in this. Christy Brown, of course. types pretty fast w his foot
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am Handy Haversack: [Arms around shoulders, feet shuffling along]
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Ken From Hyde Park: The recording of Ghana post office workers might be appropriate this morning.
	♥ 10:18am listener james from westwood: Ooh, big college vibes from this Ferry track. @Ken: That recording is a delight!
	10:19am johnk77: great set selecter just learned how early janis was in california jorma met janis in 1962 in san jose, ca.
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @james: In college, I used to try to style my hair like him!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Jason from Houston: HELL YES
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Crownless Gander: Aw, yeah!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Yetz: Hello Dolly!
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am Handy Haversack: Masterful, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am Jason from Houston: I just watched this jewel of a film last week.
	10:23am Erin in TO: As I work 9 to 5 today, I needed this
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am Crownless Gander: Wore this 45 out.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am captain beef fart: Every time I hear this now I think of Ira working 9 to TWELVE

	♥ 10:24am Guido from Cologne: Just a few weeks ago I got myself a Leroy Anderson EP with the Typewriter.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am Karl Ward: Skunk Baxter on guitar on "9 to 5" according to Wikipedia
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Strandlund: Is it personal assistant day?
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am The Oscar: @Joe If I recall correctly, it was recorded for his unreleased second album (which was to be titled "For God's Sake, Stop the Feces!"). It was finally released on a CD comp by Rhino in the '90s-- some pretty interesting (if silly) stuff on there.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am yerfriendpaul: Did anyone see Dolly’s induction into the RnR HoF? She’s the best
	10:26am Brendan: Joe, 9 to 12. And then some.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27am Ken From Hyde Park: My dear grandmother bought me an electric typewriter for my sixteenth birthday. It was handy to have in college and I still have it in its case out in the garage.
	10:28am Dean: https://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=Coffee_Gallery
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Handy Haversack: Christy Brown
	♥ 10:28am Phillippe: saw a video of a kid on Reddit who took a typewriter to his college lecture because the instructor had banned computers
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am Handy Haversack: (Crusty Brown, clown around town, now a man of renown from Dingle to Down.)
	10:30am Dean: Now this venue, or so I believe: http://maggiemcgarrys.com/
	10:31am wind: Hi Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Krys O.: I had this single!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am tadpoles: Julien Temple pays homage to this Joe...Typewriter Tip-Tip: www.youtube.com... My son used to dance around our coffee table to this when he was a toddler LOL
	♥ 10:33am northguineahills: i had a typewriter in college. I had to use my gf's/roommate's computer to get any papers done (I tried once w/ a typewriter, and that was it, it was used for just poetry after that).
	10:34am johnk77: @dean thanks for the links i found this also https://www.sftravel.com/janis-joplins-san-francisco
	10:34am ryansterlingvirtue: Love me some Nancy
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @ngh: I'm so old that I typed all of my college papers on a Corona portable!
	10:35am ryansterlingvirtue: Did we ever figure out which Jackson he’s going to snowball?
	10:35am prudy: good morning Joe and all...didn't know Lee covered this...thanks so much!
	♥ 10:35am Roberto: I was the rich kid in my dorm. I had an Apple IIc.
	10:36am Dean: I typed my college and high school papers on a Royal typewriter, my mom's. It's the same machine I used to type early issues of Flip Side.
	♥ 10:36am Harry Corvair: Hearing that Dolly clacked her acrylic nails on the table to approximate the typewriter sound while writing 9 to 5.
	♥ 10:36am Zipperhead7: Ah yes, I remember typing college papers and then literally cutting them into paragraphs and moving them around
	🎸 ♥ 10:36am Handy Haversack: I have a few dead or at least mostly dead typewriters kicking around, including my mother's Smith Corona and a nifty Royal Futura from I think '58.
	10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good Day FMUVianz ~ JoeMcG - if you like Rod Evans, do you like Captain Beyond ? Now I has Watch Apps (4''s of HiDef characterizes the current era for me if you will) - recently saw King Creole (1958) with Carolyn Jones & Walter Matthau as the heavy (no typewriter I recall) - & don't regret it. Yeah - Elvis had the potential to really act, would we agree? - we presume the Colonel kept him from better roles that might mess with his 'image' (thus accomplishing the opposite). It's fading yerknow - but remember used to get a little buzz when Elvis flicks would come on the small handful of channels we got on the antenna - perhaps perennially. It was no Hard Day's Night, but... Yeah the Blue Hawaii songs stuck I think... ⦿Sun in ♐︎Sagittarius, Year of Water 🐏Sheep ~ Goat ~ Ram Randy Newman b. 28th Nov., 1943 (79 y.o.) ...I wonder if that was during Janis's 1st venture to SF from TX - during which she was homeless (?) & a speedfreak & had to go back home ...& Handy's cousin Jorma was from D.C. & wiki says traveled the world as a kid cause his dad in the State Dept. ...
	♥ 10:38am Roberto: However, when I studied for a semester in Madrid, I had to revert to using a typewriter. One with a Spanish keyboard, no less.
	♥ 10:38am JohnEBGood: Hey Joe , We played Dead Flowers and of course Hey Joe on Grand Street, JC in 1977. We were better and more fun than the junk across the river.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Webhamster Henry: We got typewriters for the kids - they even know how to use carbon paper. There is hope for Gen Z.
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: @JohnEBG: Cool!
	♥ 10:39am JohnEBGood: You already know!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Crownless Gander: Having to type college papers after completing them in handwriting really tightened them up because it forced you to read it all over one last time.
	♥ 10:40am chresti🎾: Morning Joe and surfies! There's a big dumbo with a noisy leafblower outside.
	10:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Cleveland ! ...we are Dead Typewriters ! ...no we don't remember any lyrics...
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am Webhamster Henry: @Crownless there was also the art of choosing a word that fit that last typo rather than getting out the White-Out (or Liquid Paper, Nesmith fans)
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am Handy Haversack: Crownless: also a great way to really get into a poem: retype it for yourself.
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am nortonjutland: You're really rolling along Joe! thanks
	🎸 ♥ 10:41am Crownless Gander: Ha ha, totally, Henry!
	10:41am Brendan: Good tune to get undressed to
	♥ 10:41am chresti🎾: Wow JP Morgan! I remember her on some game show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Hughie Considine: J.P. Morgan was Gong Show royalty!
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Hughie Considine: Jaye P, that is. J.P. was a banker and couldn't sing.
	♥ 10:43am chresti🎾: Ah yes thats it, thanks HC!
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Didn't she also show up on "Match Game" a lot?
	🎸 ♥ 10:44am Hughie Considine: Sounds about right, Joe. She worked a lot for a time. Match Game was hosted by Bill Cullen, who could barely walk but they skillfully kept that from viewers.
	♥ 10:45am chresti🎾: Probably @Joe McG
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Karl Ward: I want Jeff Lynne to harmony-sing the last word I said whenever I pause
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Jason from Houston: [does the back-up vocals]
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Karl Ward: I want Jason from Houston to harmony-sing the last word I said whenever I pause
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am Handy Haversack: <jeff_lynne>Pause</jeff_lynne>
	♥ 10:46am chresti🎾: They were all a bit tipsy to smashed-the game show posse..
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am Jason from Houston: Got you, boss. My voice is weird and low and I sound like I am from Fort Worth.
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: @Hughie: Oh, I'm thinking of that perv Gene Rayburn, who I always thought of as the masculine equivalent of Jaye P.
	♥ 10:46am HesperusWrecked: The Lee Sims I know of is the chocolate shop on Bergen Avenue, Jersey City…mmmm, delicious.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47am Karl Ward: My voice is weird and high and no one can figure out where I'm from
	10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: First in last out : www.facebook.com...
	10:47am Dean: Gene Rayburn was a perv?!
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am Karl Ward: I always get the "wait if you're from Texas why don't you have an accent?" bit
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am Jason from Houston: A friend moved from the UK to Texas when she a kid and has a very distinctive Tex-British accent.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Dean: Well, he sure had a leer!
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am Hughie Considine: Interesting comparison, @Joe. They probably hooked up after the show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am Brian in UK: Joe, I missed the previous set, dog walking. With the typewriter in mind you might like this site. citiesandmemory.com...
	10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All people Drew Friedman (whom Rex just had on) could illustrate.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50am Jason from Houston: I worked really hard to get rid of mine when I was a kid. It's coming back now.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @Hughie: Ewwww! @Brian: Nice site, thanks!
	10:51am Listener Alexandra: Good morning Joe! Living for today's show so far :)
	10:52am Bri: My mom has a typewriter she’s saved from college, I wrote a story on there once. Also, my creative writing teacher back in high school made us write a poem on the typewriter
	♥ 10:52am JohnEBGood: They were stoned or coked up. Gene, JP, Gong Show!! Awesome !!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am Hughie Considine: Mel Brooks tells a story about being on a show hosted by Bill Cullen, and Mel had no idea Bill is barely able to walk independently and does so quite awkwardly, arms flapping. So after the show Mel sees Bill from across the room, and he waves to him, and Bill starts walking toward him with this vary awkward gait. And Mel thinks he's joking, so Mel starts doing it too! And his assistant is saying, stop, stop, but it's too late. He wants to crawl into a hole, but Bill said, you know what, everyone's always afraid of offending me. No one's ever been that honest. Mel tells it better.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @Alex: Your box came! I'm going to open it after the show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am Webhamster Henry: Check out TMBG's book (and record) BOOK, the lyrics are artistically typed. tmbgshop.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am Webhamster Henry: We need a 3 hour Weight show like Ken's (inadverant) Toxic show.
	10:54am Dean: A leer that punctuated a double entendre or an implied off-color remark, as I recall. A Poem on the Typewriter Thou still unravished bride of quietness [ding!] Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time [ding!] ...
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am Yetz: Rotary Connection - wasn't Pete Cosey in this band?
	10:55am dave: Awesome!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Webhamster Henry: Typewriter Poems, collected by Peter Finch, via ubuweb: ubu.com...
	♥ 10:56am Analog Nights: Last Waltz playing at Film Forum. Saw last night. Incredible experience.
	♥ 10:56am chresti🎾: @Karl, my voice is weird and low, I often get asked where I'm from (Ill)
	♥ 10:56am chresti🎾: *and slow
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @Analog: Nice! I never saw it on a big screen. I should get down there.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am Yetz: (Maybe he wasn't on that single. But he played on the album.)
	10:57am rx scabin: Thank you for the music, Joe. I must go off to work. This helps.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58am WoodsOfMaine: I'd like to unhear that version of The Weight.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: Does anybody know what this Aerosmith song is about? I've never had any idea.
	10:58am herzog: Fantastic Asmith single, Perry's debut on lead vocs?
	♥ 10:58am JohnEBGood: wowwww !
	♥ 10:58am prof.fuzz: mornin' y'all
	🎸 ♥ 10:58am Karl Ward: Without listening to the lyrics I am going to guess it is about speedballs
	10:59am Dean: A.R. Ammons' book Tape for the Turn of the Year was composed on a long thin roll of adding machine tape rolled into a typewriter. It's beautiful.
	10:59am Listener Alexandra: @Joe: Can't wait to hear how you like everything (and what you'll play first!)
	♥ 10:59am JohnEBGood: Aerosmith Rocks!!!!
	♥ 11:00am prof.fuzz: @Karl: Yes, but can you name three A-smith songs that are NOT about speedballs?
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am Karl Ward: Love in an Elevator, wait, no. Eat the Rich? That might be the only one.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Mike Sin: Ben listening since the beginning, but I've been bogged down with about 1,000 emails this Monday morning after the holiday. I was banging along on my keyboard to all the typewriter sounds. FYI -- all Aerosmith songs are about blow or microphone scarfs.;)
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I am enjoying Aerosmith. Mostly. Kerouac the Typing King tho.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Yetz: aerosmith sound even worse than i remember them!
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am WoodsOfMaine: Big Ten Inch Record (yes, I know they didn't write it)
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Karl Ward: Mike Sin: turns out you can smoke a microphone scarf
	11:01am morphe': AeroSmith inspired FYI: a little bit surreal Def Leppard & Mötley Crüe: The World Tour Tue, 4 Jul 2023, 16:00Tue, 4 Jul 2023 \| Marlay Park, Dublin, D16 Full Price Ticket €89.50–€126.00 each
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am Hughie Considine: "Livin' it up while I'm going down" is actually a reference to speedballs
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am Mike Sin: @Karl Ward -- that's true! And it is indeed "scarfs" not "scarves"!
	11:02am pd: when he speaks, what is the background song? it's nice!
	11:03am Dean: It's a Kevin Ayers outtake of his early tune "Hymn."
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Brian in UK: Joe, was the Caravelles the flip of 'You Don't Have to be a Baby to Cry'
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am Brian in UK: Dean, think that Joe should write that at the top of the page. It is a question much asked.
	♥ 11:06am Rich in Washington: as a kid growing up before VCRs and cable TV, I watched daytime gameshows out of sheer boredom on summer vacations and always thought a lot of these celebrities like JP Morgan were only famous for being on gameshows.
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am WoodsOfMaine: @Rich in Washington: Me too! Then I moved to Maine and discovered that people like Kitty Carlisle had careers in theater.
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: You get the rush faster if you snort the scarfs.
	11:08am dk50b: @Karl Ward pretty sure the lower backing vocals on that song are Bev "Bullfrog" Bevan. He definitely did the backmasked intro to "Fire on High" and backed "Strange Magic". If memory serves, there was a giant cardboard spaceship in Korvettes record dept when I bought Out of the Blue.
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am PaulRobeson1922: “If you do not have the support of the Chinese communist party, you have nothing!” -Mark H.
	11:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They were all actually Hearty White hallucinations. I'm sure Hearty is @ the center of this whole collective delusion...
	♥ 11:08am Chris Hiatt: Apple Brandy. When is that show where Lisa Laird is being interviewed?
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am Mike Sin: If you're a fan of Jaye P. Morgan and the Gong Show, I recommend "The Gong Show Movie" -- you see a lot "more" of her in that film. yayeesh.
	11:08am Dean: That phenomenon was even more pronounced for the celebrities appearing on old game shows, e.g., To Tell the Truth. For years I thought that was Kitty Carlisle's regular gig. Wow, WoodsOfMaine. Just as I was about to post! Brian in UK, or he could list it at each break on the playlist.
	♥ 11:08am Rich in Washington: I was hooked on Matchgame for some reason. All the participants seemed bombed out of their skulls.
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am Handy Haversack: Nice on Alan's show! I have recently had a come-to-Jesus-Apples moment with applejack!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am yerfriendpaul: I would’ve liked to have been a witness to a Gong Show pre-party/after-party
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am paddy in matawan: An Old Fashioned with Laird's APplejack instead of bourbon is amazing. I want a tour so bad. It's near Holmdel. Beautiful old apple orchard. Trunks of the trees are crazy big!

	🎸 ♥ 11:12am Handy Haversack: paddy, I had an amazing bottle of applejack from a place up near Hudson, NY.

	🎸 ♥ 11:12am efd: @Creature Michael Shelley’s show this coming Saturday
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am Yetz: Dean - like the old saw about how you breathed some of the same air molecules that Julius Ceasar breathed ...
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am The Oscar: Eugene!! This was one of my dad's favorite weirdo singles from the '70s-- he told me about it for years before I managed to track down a copy!
	11:13am Saltonstall: Written by Ace Frehley!?!?
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am Son Of Pantz: Are you sure this isn't a phony Steve Martin band?
	11:13am Eugene R.: Gee, I wonder why I remember this song as "Bubble Butt"?
	♥ 11:13am xtrakrispy: OMG, I remember listening to this song in JR High. I think there was a Kiss connection.

	🎸 ♥ 11:13am efd: @Dean producer and co-writer!
	11:13am Zydeco Phil: This is a masterpiece “Eugene”
	♥ 11:13am Bernardo: Holy shit sold! I’ll buy 3 copies of this record
	♥ 11:14am Creature Boy: Thx Evan funk
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @Eugene: You're thinking of the other "good" song on this album, "Little Puffies."
	11:14am JetBoy of Astoria: This song is great. I can’t believe I never heard it in the 70’s. Hi Joe and all!
	♥ 11:15am Chris Hiatt: @Handy, was that place near Hudson called Harvest Spirits, in Valatie?
	11:15am FletcherNYC: I have a very vague memory of this
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: Woops, sorry, meant to add to the chorus for Creature Boy, not swivs. Looks like you have a sale, Joe!
	♥ 11:15am JohnEBGood: If you were home to watch SNL you screwed up. Who wants to watch TV on Saturday Night. Oh well!! It 's stil l on TV.
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Karl Ward: It's like listening to Ace Frehley's inner thoughts
	11:16am TerrDE: how about U G ?
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Hughie Considine: Gene, Gene the Dancing Machine would have dug this one.
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am efd: Now I’m curious about the 1982 follow-up “Eugene Goes To School”
	11:16am Saltonstall: Crazy Joe looks exactly how you would expect him to.
	11:16am morphe': Re: Eugene ... how do you define like ??
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @EFD: Wow, are you serious? Does that exist?
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am WoodsOfMaine: Best episode of The Gong Show: when every contestant does a version of "Feelings"

	♥ 11:18am Creature Boy: @woods I gotta check that out somehow

	11:19am TerrDE: @JohnEBG here in DE last call is 1 am. So I used to watch Weekend Update then go out leaving only 45 minutes to get too drunk
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GNFAB : Eartha Quitt
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am efd: No Ace involvement in the follow-up so it can’t possibly be as good as “Eugene” itself.
	♥ 11:20am Guido from Cologne: Interesting: The Variable Speed Band featured vocalist Kathy McCord, the first artist signed to Chip Taylor's CTI label.
	11:22am Andres: Keeper!!
	11:22am Dean: The VSB also has a pseudonymous saxophone player whose name Joe should not back-announce.
	11:22am Brendan: I wish Ewwwgene was one and done. Unfortunately,it was double jeopardy. I remember you played that one before. Funny how you remember the painful things in life
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Hughie Considine: Sandra Bernhard's cover of this one is pretty good too.
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JC Superstar just keeps giving.
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Guido: That IS interesting. Also Billy Vera's sister, no?
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @Brendan: I made the error of getting the LP, which was a bit disappointing. The single is enough.
	11:27am Fred: I'm sick at work today, wfmu is definitely making it better
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: @Fred: Feel better, Fred!
	♥ 11:30am Baja Joe: Nice EJ! My first vinyl record owned. Then... well you know the story.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: I like Elton a lot, but this LP treads a lot of water for me....
	♥ 11:31am Guido from Cologne: Neither Discogs nor Wikipedia confirm a family relation between Kathy McCord and William Patrick McCord (Billy Vera).
	♥ 11:31am JohnEBGood: wow a nod to Tickin. His best.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am efd: I still like several songs on Caribou myself.
	11:32am prudy: JOAN!!!!
	♥ 11:33am Roberto: Drop the pilot and come on home!
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dark Night DJ Julie all about the Elton.
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @Roberto: Who'd be foolish enough to stay away from Joan?
	11:34am Jack: Now I remember! Jaye P. Morgan flashed her tits on The Gong Show.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: Joe, think you are doing the correct thing with these records.
	♥ 11:34am Creature Boy: That Castaways topic prompted me me to dig out a SoMa compilation lp FROM the mid 60s featuring ,you guessed it, Liar Liar.
	♥ 11:35am Baja Joe: @JohnEBGood, Oh yes, Ticking. What an amazing tune. EJ & BT at their very best indeed.
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am Hughie Considine: I like multiple tracks on the last three, for the record ... haha
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am yerfriendpaul: Such a great, great song!! Pete's voice!!
	♥ 11:36am Analog Nights: Townsend solo better than the Who?
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: Was the Gong show a Mad offshoot?
	♥ 11:36am xtrakrispy: I almost bought White City at a flea market in Bushwick this weekend.
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am yerfriendpaul: I love The Brilliant Blues too
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am WoodsOfMaine: Man, Pete was so great in this era. I spent a lot of time with Empty Glass/All The Best Cowboys and this one.
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Confess I don't even know this Peter tune.
	11:37am TerrDE: if you never heard Daltry, wouldn't Pete be fine as the Who's singer
	11:37am James Douglas: Is this the mostly crappy album segment still? I mean what about Give Blood, Face the Face, and Second Hand Love from this PT album? They are great IMHO
	11:37am Joe B: @analog - after who's next i'd say so
	11:38am morphe': SVB tribute band [promoting its new release: "Eugene Gets a Summer Job" =Spring 2023 ...
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: @James: I'm not a fan of the rest of the LP, but everybody likes different stuff! Big Townshend fan, though.
	11:38am Jack: The Rough Mix album with Ronnie Lane is great! One of his best...
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: Planxty! I have been listening to a Christy Moore tape that a teacher made for me in HS all week. (Which means I've also had the Black 47 lyric in my head all week "'D'yez not know nothing by Christy Moore?!' 'The next thing you'll be wanting is "Danny Boooooy"!'")
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Jack: Agree! Love all of the solo Townshend up to "White City."
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: I'd buy this one from you, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Hughie Considine: I'll second the praise for "Rough Mix" -- "Heart to Hang Onto" a huge fave.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Handy: I'll give it to you! I love Planxty, but this reunion album is a bit weaker to me than their great stuff from the 70s.
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No Quadrophenia ? 'By Numbers' critiqued for being too much like solo Townshend material. (Not by me.) To me - if Moon was alive & functional it was still TheWho point one. After that Pete spiraled & went cold on the band for a time I think.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am DjLorraine: Socks are toes clothes (sorry)
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but solo Townshend slotted into that era of music well I agree.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am Handy Haversack: Aw, you're the best, Joe! K8 and I were just kicking around dates to see when we could come in and lend a hand. I'll revisit tonight.
	11:43am Jack: @Hughie Considine - I'm partial to "Misunderstood" myself, but they're all good, pretty much.
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'RoughBoys' I could hear again...
	11:44am TerrDE: just bothered to read the band .Sea Train I heard them live opening for someone back in the day
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am Hughie Considine: I love that one too, @Jack
	11:45am Joe B: was anyone from the blues project still in seatrain at this point (1973)?
	11:45am Jack: So...Danny Kalb (RIP) was NOT in Seatrain? but other Blues Project guys were?
	11:46am Joe B: danny was never in seatrain
	11:46am kevlicki: Joe, enjoying this set a bunch that I’ll have to return to this “hit it and quit it” in the archive
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: @Joe B: Not sure, Joe! Personnel: Bill Elliott, Andy Kulberg, Julio Coronado, Peter Walsh, Lloyd Baskin, Jim Roberts
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: Hey, kevlicki! I'm having fun playing my highlights.
	11:48am Joe B: elliot randall was in the seatrain lineup briefly (obviously before this LP)
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Hughie Considine: Pete Townshend's outtakes collections are damn good too.
	♥ 11:49am Creature Boy: I re-watched Quadrophenia a couple weeks ago. Oh! Also I bought a great blues/folk compilation from the early/mid 60s w Ric Von Shmidt , Dave Van Ronk etc called "Blues Project" and wondered if it isn't the origin of that band's name
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Rich in Wading River: I always wondered if the "Eugene" wrestling character was based on the Eugene in that Crazy Joe song.That song is probably one of the top-10 Kiss-adjacent songs in existence
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like the one Creature Boy : en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am tadpoles: Thanks for a very eclectic show today Joe...! Cheers.
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had no idea Johnny did Pop like this.
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: Fantastic show, Joe! Closet oned and doned, hit and quit, but the show must go on! Stay on top, Surfactants!
	11:54am holland oatzier holland: Tim Hardin meets Rodd Keith?
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Hope you have a good week and I'll see you in December!
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:55am Creature Boy: Ah yes...meant to Google it. It's a really good album and features John Sebastion as a sort of session player
	♥ 11:55am radioronan: Thank you, Joe..cheers y'all!!
	11:55am dano59: I loved ‘Scoop’ and ‘Another Scoop’ myself, and the weirdly exclusionary CD compilation ‘Scooped’ … Pete’s demos were revelatory to me. Played ‘Politician’ for a midterms special a few weeks ago.
	11:55am Brendan: Burn After Listening
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Some say TheWho are a Townshend cover band.
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JoeMcG ~
	11:56am Brendan: this could be Eugene's child custody song. You know, after he practiced eugenics on that chick in the bar.
	11:57am TerrDE: New format: Housewife favs of the 70s
	♥ 11:57am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:57am morphe': Thanks Joe and all !!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am listener 126464: Thank you, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Mike Sin: Well I dug all the tracks Joe McG didn't!
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Four more Mondays until 2023!
	♥ 11:59am Creature Boy: There's a shoe gaze group ( I think the telescopes) who do a great version of Pete's demo version ( which is fantastic) of the Goods Gone
	11:59am Mister Dobalina: Gracias, Joe! Great show.
	11:59am eva: thanks and have a great day!
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks Joe. I feel like a test subject after that last set. Hopefully there are no long-term side effects.
	12:00pm TerrDE: Thanks Joe. ... Good Bye Joe, Hello Joe..
	🎸 ♥ 12:00pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks Joe!
	12:00pm dano59: When reassessing Towser and the ‘Oo, lemme say … People forget!
	🎸 ♥ 12:06pm Brian in UK: Nice work, Joe Just started Richard Thompson's Beeswing. Might be a long nights read.
	8:14am dave: Hell yeah!

	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Crownless Gander: Typewriter will always make me think of Martin Short as Jerry Lewis in Scenes from an Idiot's Marriage.

	🎸 ♥ 10:13am Hughie Considine: Carol Burnett did great things with a typewriter as Mrs. Wiggins, who typed maddeningly slowly.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am tadpoles: The film is also worth it Joe for Ray Davies singing "Quiet Life"...another very Kinks gem. Julien Temple got a lot of flack for the film but it has a lot to be worthy of. Wow Janis in 1964...incredible!

	10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good Day FMUVianz ~ JoeMcG - if you like Rod Evans, do you like Captain Beyond ? Now I has Watch Apps (4''s of HiDef characterizes the current era for me if you will) - recently saw King Creole (1958) with Carolyn Jones & Walter Matthau as the heavy (no typewriter I recall) - & don't regret it. Yeah - Elvis had the potential to really act, would we agree? - we presume the Colonel kept him from better roles that might mess with his 'image' (thus accomplishing the opposite). It's fading yerknow - but remember used to get a little buzz when Elvis flicks would come on the small handful of channels we got on the antenna - perhaps perennially. It was no Hard Day's Night, but... Yeah the Blue Hawaii songs stuck I think... ⦿Sun in ♐︎Sagittarius, Year of Water 🐏Sheep ~ Goat ~ Ram Randy Newman b. 28th Nov., 1943 (79 y.o.) ...I wonder if that was during Janis's 1st venture to SF from TX - during which she was homeless (?) & a speedfreak & had to go back home ...& Handy's cousin Jorma was from D.C. & wiki says traveled the world as a kid cause his dad in the State Dept. ...
	♥ 10:38am Roberto: However, when I studied for a semester in Madrid, I had to revert to using a typewriter. One with a Spanish keyboard, no less.
	♥ 10:38am JohnEBGood: Hey Joe , We played Dead Flowers and of course Hey Joe on Grand Street, JC in 1977. We were better and more fun than the junk across the river.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Webhamster Henry: We got typewriters for the kids - they even know how to use carbon paper. There is hope for Gen Z.
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: @JohnEBG: Cool!
	♥ 10:39am JohnEBGood: You already know!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Crownless Gander: Having to type college papers after completing them in handwriting really tightened them up because it forced you to read it all over one last time.
	♥ 10:40am chresti🎾: Morning Joe and surfies! There's a big dumbo with a noisy leafblower outside.
	10:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Cleveland ! ...we are Dead Typewriters ! ...no we don't remember any lyrics...
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am Webhamster Henry: @Crownless there was also the art of choosing a word that fit that last typo rather than getting out the White-Out (or Liquid Paper, Nesmith fans)
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am Handy Haversack: Crownless: also a great way to really get into a poem: retype it for yourself.
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am nortonjutland: You're really rolling along Joe! thanks

	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Didn't she also show up on "Match Game" a lot?
	🎸 ♥ 10:44am Hughie Considine: Sounds about right, Joe. She worked a lot for a time. Match Game was hosted by Bill Cullen, who could barely walk but they skillfully kept that from viewers.

	10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: First in last out : www.facebook.com...
	10:47am Dean: Gene Rayburn was a perv?!
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am Karl Ward: I always get the "wait if you're from Texas why don't you have an accent?" bit
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am Jason from Houston: A friend moved from the UK to Texas when she a kid and has a very distinctive Tex-British accent.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Dean: Well, he sure had a leer!
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am Hughie Considine: Interesting comparison, @Joe. They probably hooked up after the show.

	♥ 10:52am JohnEBGood: They were stoned or coked up. Gene, JP, Gong Show!! Awesome !!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am Hughie Considine: Mel Brooks tells a story about being on a show hosted by Bill Cullen, and Mel had no idea Bill is barely able to walk independently and does so quite awkwardly, arms flapping. So after the show Mel sees Bill from across the room, and he waves to him, and Bill starts walking toward him with this vary awkward gait. And Mel thinks he's joking, so Mel starts doing it too! And his assistant is saying, stop, stop, but it's too late. He wants to crawl into a hole, but Bill said, you know what, everyone's always afraid of offending me. No one's ever been that honest. Mel tells it better.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @Alex: Your box came! I'm going to open it after the show.

	10:59am Dean: A.R. Ammons' book Tape for the Turn of the Year was composed on a long thin roll of adding machine tape rolled into a typewriter. It's beautiful.

	♥ 10:59am JohnEBGood: Aerosmith Rocks!!!!
	♥ 11:00am prof.fuzz: @Karl: Yes, but can you name three A-smith songs that are NOT about speedballs?
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am Karl Ward: Love in an Elevator, wait, no. Eat the Rich? That might be the only one.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Mike Sin: Ben listening since the beginning, but I've been bogged down with about 1,000 emails this Monday morning after the holiday. I was banging along on my keyboard to all the typewriter sounds. FYI -- all Aerosmith songs are about blow or microphone scarfs.;)
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I am enjoying Aerosmith. Mostly. Kerouac the Typing King tho.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Yetz: aerosmith sound even worse than i remember them!

	🎸 ♥ 11:02am Hughie Considine: "Livin' it up while I'm going down" is actually a reference to speedballs
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am Mike Sin: @Karl Ward -- that's true! And it is indeed "scarfs" not "scarves"!
	11:02am pd: when he speaks, what is the background song? it's nice!
	11:03am Dean: It's a Kevin Ayers outtake of his early tune "Hymn."
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Brian in UK: Joe, was the Caravelles the flip of 'You Don't Have to be a Baby to Cry'
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am Brian in UK: Dean, think that Joe should write that at the top of the page. It is a question much asked.
	♥ 11:06am Rich in Washington: as a kid growing up before VCRs and cable TV, I watched daytime gameshows out of sheer boredom on summer vacations and always thought a lot of these celebrities like JP Morgan were only famous for being on gameshows.
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am WoodsOfMaine: @Rich in Washington: Me too! Then I moved to Maine and discovered that people like Kitty Carlisle had careers in theater.
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: You get the rush faster if you snort the scarfs.
	11:08am dk50b: @Karl Ward pretty sure the lower backing vocals on that song are Bev "Bullfrog" Bevan. He definitely did the backmasked intro to "Fire on High" and backed "Strange Magic". If memory serves, there was a giant cardboard spaceship in Korvettes record dept when I bought Out of the Blue.
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am PaulRobeson1922: “If you do not have the support of the Chinese communist party, you have nothing!” -Mark H.

	♥ 11:08am Chris Hiatt: Apple Brandy. When is that show where Lisa Laird is being interviewed?
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am Mike Sin: If you're a fan of Jaye P. Morgan and the Gong Show, I recommend "The Gong Show Movie" -- you see a lot "more" of her in that film. yayeesh.
	11:08am Dean: That phenomenon was even more pronounced for the celebrities appearing on old game shows, e.g., To Tell the Truth. For years I thought that was Kitty Carlisle's regular gig. Wow, WoodsOfMaine. Just as I was about to post! Brian in UK, or he could list it at each break on the playlist.
	♥ 11:08am Rich in Washington: I was hooked on Matchgame for some reason. All the participants seemed bombed out of their skulls.
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am Handy Haversack: Nice on Alan's show! I have recently had a come-to-Jesus-Apples moment with applejack!

	♥ 11:11am Creature Boy: I spaced out , what show is gunna feature The Castaways?
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am WoodsOfMaine: @Dean: I was reminded of some of this recently when Betty White passed on. In the mid-70s we moved to Maine not far from The Lakewood Theater, summer haunt for her, Allen Ludden, and a bunch of others.

	11:19am TerrDE: @JohnEBG here in DE last call is 1 am. So I used to watch Weekend Update then go out leaving only 45 minutes to get too drunk
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GNFAB : Eartha Quitt
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am efd: No Ace involvement in the follow-up so it can’t possibly be as good as “Eugene” itself.
	♥ 11:20am Guido from Cologne: Interesting: The Variable Speed Band featured vocalist Kathy McCord, the first artist signed to Chip Taylor's CTI label.
	11:22am Andres: Keeper!!
	11:22am Dean: The VSB also has a pseudonymous saxophone player whose name Joe should not back-announce.
	11:22am Brendan: I wish Ewwwgene was one and done. Unfortunately,it was double jeopardy. I remember you played that one before. Funny how you remember the painful things in life
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Hughie Considine: Sandra Bernhard's cover of this one is pretty good too.
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JC Superstar just keeps giving.
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Guido: That IS interesting. Also Billy Vera's sister, no?
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @Brendan: I made the error of getting the LP, which was a bit disappointing. The single is enough.
	11:27am Fred: I'm sick at work today, wfmu is definitely making it better
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: @Fred: Feel better, Fred!
	♥ 11:30am Baja Joe: Nice EJ! My first vinyl record owned. Then... well you know the story.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: I like Elton a lot, but this LP treads a lot of water for me....
	♥ 11:31am Guido from Cologne: Neither Discogs nor Wikipedia confirm a family relation between Kathy McCord and William Patrick McCord (Billy Vera).
	♥ 11:31am JohnEBGood: wow a nod to Tickin. His best.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am efd: I still like several songs on Caribou myself.
	11:32am prudy: JOAN!!!!
	♥ 11:33am Roberto: Drop the pilot and come on home!
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dark Night DJ Julie all about the Elton.
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @Roberto: Who'd be foolish enough to stay away from Joan?
	11:34am Jack: Now I remember! Jaye P. Morgan flashed her tits on The Gong Show.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: Joe, think you are doing the correct thing with these records.
	♥ 11:34am Creature Boy: That Castaways topic prompted me me to dig out a SoMa compilation lp FROM the mid 60s featuring ,you guessed it, Liar Liar.
	♥ 11:35am Baja Joe: @JohnEBGood, Oh yes, Ticking. What an amazing tune. EJ & BT at their very best indeed.
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am Hughie Considine: I like multiple tracks on the last three, for the record ... haha
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am yerfriendpaul: Such a great, great song!! Pete's voice!!
	♥ 11:36am Analog Nights: Townsend solo better than the Who?
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: Was the Gong show a Mad offshoot?
	♥ 11:36am xtrakrispy: I almost bought White City at a flea market in Bushwick this weekend.
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am yerfriendpaul: I love The Brilliant Blues too
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am WoodsOfMaine: Man, Pete was so great in this era. I spent a lot of time with Empty Glass/All The Best Cowboys and this one.
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Confess I don't even know this Peter tune.
	11:37am TerrDE: if you never heard Daltry, wouldn't Pete be fine as the Who's singer
	11:37am James Douglas: Is this the mostly crappy album segment still? I mean what about Give Blood, Face the Face, and Second Hand Love from this PT album? They are great IMHO
	11:37am Joe B: @analog - after who's next i'd say so
	11:38am morphe': SVB tribute band [promoting its new release: "Eugene Gets a Summer Job" =Spring 2023 ...
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: @James: I'm not a fan of the rest of the LP, but everybody likes different stuff! Big Townshend fan, though.
	11:38am Jack: The Rough Mix album with Ronnie Lane is great! One of his best...
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: Planxty! I have been listening to a Christy Moore tape that a teacher made for me in HS all week. (Which means I've also had the Black 47 lyric in my head all week "'D'yez not know nothing by Christy Moore?!' 'The next thing you'll be wanting is "Danny Boooooy"!'")
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Jack: Agree! Love all of the solo Townshend up to "White City."
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: I'd buy this one from you, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Hughie Considine: I'll second the praise for "Rough Mix" -- "Heart to Hang Onto" a huge fave.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Handy: I'll give it to you! I love Planxty, but this reunion album is a bit weaker to me than their great stuff from the 70s.
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No Quadrophenia ? 'By Numbers' critiqued for being too much like solo Townshend material. (Not by me.) To me - if Moon was alive & functional it was still TheWho point one. After that Pete spiraled & went cold on the band for a time I think.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am DjLorraine: Socks are toes clothes (sorry)
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but solo Townshend slotted into that era of music well I agree.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am Handy Haversack: Aw, you're the best, Joe! K8 and I were just kicking around dates to see when we could come in and lend a hand. I'll revisit tonight.
	11:43am Jack: @Hughie Considine - I'm partial to "Misunderstood" myself, but they're all good, pretty much.
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'RoughBoys' I could hear again...
	11:44am TerrDE: just bothered to read the band .Sea Train I heard them live opening for someone back in the day
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am Hughie Considine: I love that one too, @Jack
	11:45am Joe B: was anyone from the blues project still in seatrain at this point (1973)?
	11:45am Jack: So...Danny Kalb (RIP) was NOT in Seatrain? but other Blues Project guys were?
	11:46am Joe B: danny was never in seatrain
	11:46am kevlicki: Joe, enjoying this set a bunch that I’ll have to return to this “hit it and quit it” in the archive
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: @Joe B: Not sure, Joe! Personnel: Bill Elliott, Andy Kulberg, Julio Coronado, Peter Walsh, Lloyd Baskin, Jim Roberts
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: Hey, kevlicki! I'm having fun playing my highlights.
	11:48am Joe B: elliot randall was in the seatrain lineup briefly (obviously before this LP)
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Hughie Considine: Pete Townshend's outtakes collections are damn good too.
	♥ 11:49am Creature Boy: I re-watched Quadrophenia a couple weeks ago. Oh! Also I bought a great blues/folk compilation from the early/mid 60s w Ric Von Shmidt , Dave Van Ronk etc called "Blues Project" and wondered if it isn't the origin of that band's name
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Rich in Wading River: I always wondered if the "Eugene" wrestling character was based on the Eugene in that Crazy Joe song.That song is probably one of the top-10 Kiss-adjacent songs in existence
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like the one Creature Boy : en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am tadpoles: Thanks for a very eclectic show today Joe...! Cheers.
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had no idea Johnny did Pop like this.
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: Fantastic show, Joe! Closet oned and doned, hit and quit, but the show must go on! Stay on top, Surfactants!
	11:54am holland oatzier holland: Tim Hardin meets Rodd Keith?
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Hope you have a good week and I'll see you in December!
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:55am Creature Boy: Ah yes...meant to Google it. It's a really good album and features John Sebastion as a sort of session player
	♥ 11:55am radioronan: Thank you, Joe..cheers y'all!!
	11:55am dano59: I loved ‘Scoop’ and ‘Another Scoop’ myself, and the weirdly exclusionary CD compilation ‘Scooped’ … Pete’s demos were revelatory to me. Played ‘Politician’ for a midterms special a few weeks ago.
	11:55am Brendan: Burn After Listening
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Some say TheWho are a Townshend cover band.
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JoeMcG ~
	11:56am Brendan: this could be Eugene's child custody song. You know, after he practiced eugenics on that chick in the bar.
	11:57am TerrDE: New format: Housewife favs of the 70s
	♥ 11:57am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:57am morphe': Thanks Joe and all !!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am listener 126464: Thank you, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Mike Sin: Well I dug all the tracks Joe McG didn't!
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Four more Mondays until 2023!
	♥ 11:59am Creature Boy: There's a shoe gaze group ( I think the telescopes) who do a great version of Pete's demo version ( which is fantastic) of the Goods Gone
	11:59am Mister Dobalina: Gracias, Joe! Great show.
	11:59am eva: thanks and have a great day!
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks Joe. I feel like a test subject after that last set. Hopefully there are no long-term side effects.
	12:00pm TerrDE: Thanks Joe. ... Good Bye Joe, Hello Joe..
	🎸 ♥ 12:00pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks Joe!
	12:00pm dano59: When reassessing Towser and the ‘Oo, lemme say … People forget!
	🎸 ♥ 12:06pm Brian in UK: Nice work, Joe Just started Richard Thompson's Beeswing. Might be a long nights read.
	8:14am dave: Hell yeah!
