	👻 9:40am Ben from Newark: ↳ Dano59 @9:24 I've noticed a number of a cappella songs across shows recently. It might be due for a critical reevaluation, a la prog
	👻 9:40am chresti: ↳ Joe McG @9:38 I took the day off because I made a vow to not work holidays anymore.
	9:40am Dan near StL: Blood sweat and tears covered it, along with a lot of other tunes.

	9:42am TerrDE: Good version. Chases is good as well, and of course Rods
	9:42am Dan near StL: I was razed by factory co workers (white) for taking a paid day off mid ‘70’s. Racist morons.
	9:42am StringOFperils: I love WFMU. Somebody actually remembers Chase. Great!
	9:43am Dan near StL: Got to get it on. One hit wonder.
	👻 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ chresti @9:40 I think the Feast of Maximum Occupancy is coming up. www.frinkiac.com...
	👻 9:43am chresti: Pink sky this morning. Don't know what sailors do about that?

	9:46am MarginWalker in Baltimore: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:45 Because it was U2?
	👻 9:47am chresti: ↳ StringOFperils @9:44 The sensible thing to do!
	9:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ MarginWalker in Baltimore @9:46 Because it was U2.
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: Frank McGasko rules.
	9:48am StringOFperils: ↳ dave @9:46 Great brass unit, Chase. Ennea was one of the first records I ever had. Nobody I knew got it, and I had to work at it too, but it taught me some things about music I think.
	👻 9:48am Ben from Newark: ↳ Song: "Handbags and Gladrags" by "Mike d'Abo" Just checked the WFMU playlist search, first time the d'Abo version was played in the playlist era. Agreed Joe, I love Rod Stewart's version
	9:48am TerrDE: Ricky's not having a go... see also Trump never lies
	9:49am Edgar from Maine: I go hop in the shower and come back and JMcG talkin about Brave Combo.
	9:49am dave: That’s awesome
	9:50am MarginWalker in Baltimore: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:47 That's fair. I like a little bit of their stuff, but it's all almost entirely from the first few albums.
	9:50am Acid Cazh: I had a job at a copy shop in Denton, TX in the late 90s, and the Brave Combo guys used to come in to make flyers all the time. I am sorry to report that they were always kind of arrogant jerks.
	9:51am TerrDE: the Jig section stood out as a Jig more in the instrumental
	9:52am The Oscar: The Brave Combo / Tiny Tim album is fantastic.
	9:53am Chris Hiatt: Great free form set! Nice work, Joe McGasko.
	9:54am HyperDose: corn teen? I 'member corn teen 💉🦠
	9:54am Dan near StL: B, S, & T’s covered Eric Satie, through a phase shifter. Say what?
	9:55am rx "rexy" scabin: I have a Tiny Tim album where he us backed by Brave Combo.
	9:56am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:50 I used to go to that used book store downtown with my friend who was a local. Very cool place.
	9:56am Dan near StL: Tiny Tim and Moondog would have made a terrific collaboration. I believe they knew each other.
	9:57am TerrDE: Tim did Rock n Roll well.
	9:58am Dan near StL: Who would have been more frequently imitated at HS talent shows than Mr. Tim? Can’t imagine.
	9:59am Acid Cazh: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:56 Voertman's? Love that place. I worked at Joe's Copies, which was between Voertman's and the 7-11. 1997 and 1998 I think. That was a venerable institution (until it was bought by Kinko's and shuttered in order to open a sanitized, corporate copy store by the highway).
	10:00am Dan near StL: Survey question- Swingles Singers OR Up With People, who did several Super Bowl halftime shows if you can imagine.
	10:01am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:59 Recycled Books right by the town square.
	👻 10:03am money&pain: UWP
	10:04am Greg from ZONE 5: HBD, JMC!
	10:04am Acid Cazh: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:01 Ohhhhhh Recycled! I love that place. I was in Denton a couple years back (for a friend's memorial service, sadly) and it was like stepping into a time machine and going back almost three decades to my college days — that shop has barely changed at all. I even knew the person behind the counter, which was just a super surreal experience that I wasn't expecting.
	10:04am Dan near StL: Swingles Singers, only bad part of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Omg.
	10:05am Joe McG: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @10:04 Thanks, Greg! Happy BDay to you, too, my friend!
	10:05am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Returns Will Diminish" by "Cat Mountain" How does one get to this cat mountain?
	10:06am Handy Haversack: What? It's all the cool people's birthday?! Happy birthday, Joe and Greg! Let all the ZONES resound with celebration!
	10:06am Dan near StL: Claude
	10:06am rx "rexy" scabin: Many happy returns, Greg and Joe.
	10:07am clarke: mornin' ya'll!!
	10:07am love2laf: My goodness, wishing Gentleman Joe McGasko and Greg from Zone 5 a very happy day, and hoping you have an excellent new year!
	👻 10:07am Ben from Newark: Happy birthday Joe and Greg!
	10:07am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:04 Sorry bout your friend. It's a nice town. Part of Tejas that hasn't seem to have gone batshit crazy. My friend who used to live there was an eccentric tall guy who moved to Oklahoma recently because TX got too weird for him. Haha.
	10:07am Dan near StL: Nobody’s Listening
	10:08am HyperDose: Joe and Greg are two jolly good birthday fellows!
	10:08am Joe McG: Today is actually the day between our birthdays, so therefore it is OUR birthday together. :)
	10:09am clarke: happy tween day!!!
	👻 10:09am chresti: Happy birthday Joe and Greg!
	10:09am love2laf: ↳ Joe McG @10:08 You two are very cute to have a mashed together between birthday share, love it :)
	10:10am Dan near StL: So hot out you can’t do anything outside, today so cold you can’t do anything inside.
	10:10am clarke: there was some controversy over whether it was actually Gregory's bday or not.
	👻 10:10am money&pain: The future is indoors
	10:11am Joe McG: Somebody tell my landlord to turn up the damn heat in my apartment!
	10:11am Edgar from Maine: I am a rugged indoorsman.
	10:11am Dan near StL: Joe, this is splendid, truly!
	10:12am clarke: ↳ Song: "The Life We Led" by "Swansea Sound" indeedy!!!!
	10:14am DjLorraine: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:11 Nice one
	10:14am clarke: ↳ Song: "The Life We Led" by "Swansea Sound" even tho i usually loathe hearing xmas music in januar. ha ha.
	10:14am Dan near StL: Joe, seriously, have you ever played Mitch Miller? Oddest tv show, or nearly.
	👻 10:15am chresti: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:11 Lol
	10:15am Joe McG: ↳ Dan near StL @10:14 No, I don't think so! But I can't swear to it.
	10:16am clarke: would have to say Ernie Kovacs takes the cake in that category.
	10:16am Dan near StL: It might be the only records I’ve never seen in hospital thrift stores, goodwill, etc.
	10:18am clarke: ↳ Song: "Where Old Men Go" by "The Easybeats" no country.
	10:19am Dan near StL: If that’s Johnny’s first album, I think I have it.
	10:19am clarke: would that be edgar on the COOL keys???
	10:21am HyperDose: ↳ Joe McG @10:11 You get one birthday wish a year. You sure you want to use it now?!
	10:21am Dan near StL: Town Without Pity dude?
	10:22am lm: good one !. gene pitney
	10:22am clarke: yep, same guy that plays piano on some stones songs.
	10:22am Dan near StL: Insane production.

	10:24am dday: ↳ HyperDose @10:21 Any personal progress HyperDose?
	10:25am lmtpi: the Essex!
	10:25am dday: ↳ Joe McG @10:11 THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH & THE HEAT IS TOO DAMN LOW!!!
	10:26am Dan near StL: Opened for the Mellow Men, Genesee Theater, Waukegan, IL.
	10:27am lmtpi: sly stone in this band..MOJO men..curator genius Joe mcg
	10:27am Edgar from Maine: Can you sleep at the station Joe?
	10:27am clarke: ↳ Song: "I Wish Today Were Yesterday" by "Mojo Men" met one of these blokes as he was 'dating' a gal in boston, mid-90's.
	10:27am Joe McG: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:27 You can, but it's not all that pleasant.
	10:28am Joe McG: ↳ dday @10:25 You ain't just whistlin' "Dixie"!
	👻 10:28am money&pain: Edgar, a fellow Maine indoorsman! A rare breed.
	👻 10:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Make sure your boxes of 45s aren't blocking the heater vents back at your apartment, Joe.
	10:28am Dan near StL: Fabreez highly recommended records. Not due to the music.
	10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☽Monday FMUvianz ~
	10:29am clarke: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:28 doh!!!
	10:29am listener mark the professors intern: more like it joe..instrumental
	10:31am Edgar from Maine: ↳ money&pain @10:28 Ayuh! Why go out when you got wildlife in your house and perilous stairs to climb?
	10:31am clarke: actually, the bloke i met was british, so i am thinking he was in The Mojos, not the Mojo Men.
	10:32am Acid Cazh: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:07 Yeah, Denton's always been a hard left turn from the rest of the state. Around 2000 or so, my weed dealer dyed his dreadlocks red, white & blue (they were usually rainbow!) and ran for mayor on the Green Party ticket. He didn't win, but he got about 28% of the vote — which is a lot of people willing to vote for a gender-noncomforming pot dealer, given that it's a Texas city.
	10:32am clarke: i'm a huge pitney fan, but i think Blue Jean is the ONLY decent bowie song in the 90's (until Heathen came out)
	10:33am Dean: Bowie, Mott the Hoople, "All the Young Dudes": https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/jan/15/bowie-mott-the-hoople-all-the-young-dudes-ziggy-stardust
	10:33am Adi from Sheffield: I'd love to come to the record fair but sadly I'm in the wrong country. 😁
	👻 10:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Just Talk" by "A.C. Marias" Not to nitpick but A.C. Marias was a duo. Bruce Gilbert was the producer and also guitar player. Great single called "Time Was."
	👻 10:35am money&pain: And various critters in the cellar.
	👻 10:36am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:35 "Trilby's Couch" is a great track too
	10:36am Edgar from Maine: ↳ money&pain @10:35 A bunch of em probably drowned this weekend!
	10:36am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:35 mawnin' suh!! !
	👻 10:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @10:36 Mawnin' bud! Off to take my wife to the airport - Texas is calling. Catch you later though, I'm quite sure ...
	10:37am Joe McG: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:35 Nitpick away, Hughie! I am always more interested in accuracy than ego.
	👻 10:37am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:35 I think Lewis was involved too, at least on some tracks (?)
	👻 10:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @10:37 That's one reason why I'm such a fan, Joe.
	10:37am rx "rexy" scabin: I have this on 45 somewhere.
	10:37am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:37 si, i will be late for 3CM, guests in town.
	10:38am Dan near StL: Are 45’s generally poorer quality sound, vinyl? I’ve always assumed so. But, Steely Dan’s live version of Bohdisava, with drunk Bill Cosby intro (long!) is only 45rpm B-side. Unforgettable.
	👻 10:38am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Dan near StL @10:38 usually higher RPMs mean better sound
	10:39am Joe McG: Only MY 45s sound shittier.
	10:39am clarke: ↳ Dan near StL @10:38 no, i think for the most part, the grooves on a 7" allow for better high end reproduction. most of the time.
	10:39am Dan near StL: Thanks CiC, got some wind chill have you?
	10:39am TerrDE: I always thought 78s sounded better than 45s
	👻 10:40am Charles in Chicago: ↳ clarke @10:39 faster speed means the sound waves are spread across more linear space. same thing with tape speed, faster is better. and yeah it's effing cold here today!
	10:40am clarke: ↳ TerrDE @10:39 depends on what you play them on.
	👻 10:41am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:40 of course, CHEAP 45s will sound worse. and also if the song is long and they squeeze the grooves too tight to make it fit that's no good.
	10:41am clarke: there is nothing like hearing 78's on an old mono player with a large speaker.
	10:41am Dan near StL: My first and 2nd 45’s were Whole Lotta Love, without middle freak out, and Shirley Basie, Goldfinger, 3rd, again short version, light my fire.
	10:41am Edgar from Maine: Similar principle in digital music. More info in a smaller amount of time can produce “better” sound.
	👻 10:42am Charles in Chicago: now I'm wondering if anyone is putting out new 78RPM records.
	10:43am clarke: not that i know about.
	10:43am The Oscar: My sense is that, in theory, 45s have greater sound quality, but in practice they're far more likely to be in rough condition thanks to flimsier packaging and perceived disposability.
	10:43am Dan near StL: Shellac Fidelity?!?
	10:44am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Tricked & Trapped (By a Tricky Trapper)" by "Chai... Not to nitpick, but if you don't expect a Tricky Trapper to trick and trap you, you might not be paying attention.
	👻 10:44am Charles in Chicago: ↳ clarke @10:43 rivermontrecords.com... here it is
	10:44am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Joe and Everyone. Good luck and goodbye.
	10:44am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:44 yeah i mean it is not a Tracker!
	10:45am Dan near StL: I love when mary smashes Buffalo Gals 78 in It’s A Wonderful Life. Imagine the out takes!
	10:45am Dean: The Hatfield & the North, National Health, et al., Dave Stewart here.
	10:46am clarke: but, then again, we didn't make chairman of the board.
	10:46am TerrDE: Of course slower speed allows the needle to track better. There must be some kind of encoding to play speed curve like tape speed or sampling rate where there's an optimum point for snr and fidelity.
	10:46am Dan near StL: Wow! Best track so far!
	10:46am Son Of Pantz: Is this the Eurythmics Dave Stewart?
	10:46am lm: it's my party! yes!
	10:47am Dan near StL: The Big Beat!
	👻 10:47am Charles in Chicago: ↳ TerrDE @10:46 you want is as fast as it can go without skating
	10:47am Dean: See my comment @10:45, Son of Pantz.
	👻 10:47am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:44 I've been trapped and kept by a Trapper Keeper!
	👻 10:47am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "It's My Party" by "Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin" Cool version!
	10:47am Roberto: ↳ Song: "It's My Party" by "Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin" This track made the KLOS top 100 for 1981. At least I think it was KLOS. One of those hip L.A. stations of the early '80s.
	10:48am Dean: Gaskin sang with National Health and Hatfield, too.
	10:48am Joe McG: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:47 Ha ha!
	10:48am TerrDE: What's that shiney stain on Judy's blouse?
	10:49am clarke: hey, that latest rekkid Dave Stewart released is very kinks-influenced and pretty dang good.
	10:49am MikeG: ...please stop saying 'Joe'
	10:50am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Roberto @10:47 KLOS!? Only hip if you're been sarcastic.
	10:50am dale: morning. i started singing it's a heartache before wencke chimed in. some songs you just can't hide even with different arrangements.
	10:50am Joe McG: ↳ MikeG @10:49 Hey!
	10:50am Adi from Sheffield: Not quite got Tyler's gravel inflections 😁
	10:51am TerrDE: Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler should have combined for a High Drama Rock tour
	10:51am SheWolf: Yeah, this song's going to make me tear up even though I have no idea what she's saying.
	10:51am Joe mcg/the people's dj/lm: nice ..back to back!
	10:51am Dan near StL: Where you goin’ with that 45 in your hand
	10:53am Dan near StL: Dickey Smothers in German
	👻 10:53am DjLorraine: ↳ SheWolf @10:51 Translation "sweet Joe!"
	10:53am Dan near StL: Mein bro Tommy…
	👻 10:54am Ben from Newark: Hey Joe, if your schedule permits it, I'd love for you to check out my Radio Row on Sunday
	10:54am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Tom Dooley" by "The Kingston Trio" feel like we had a version of this on a Weavers vinyl collection when I was growing up.
	10:55am Joe McG: ↳ Ben from Newark @10:54 Will do, Ben!
	10:55am clarke: ↳ Song: "Tom Dooley" by "The Kingston Trio" this is one of the early 45's we had that was just around - early memories.
	10:55am Handy Haversack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:47 That's how they getcha.
	10:55am MikeG: Only the Kingston Trio can turn a folk song originally about rape and murder into a campfire singalong.
	10:55am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Laß mein Knie, Joe" by "Wencke Myhre" thank for playing that (German?) "It's a Heartache". Recently heard a cover of "Bei mir bist du schon" and have added it to my let's-screw-with-the-punters open mic repertoire.
	10:56am bk845: Tall Cool one! Man, I love this song...Fun album:)
	10:56am Dan near StL: Talk about whiplash Jose!
	10:56am TerrDE: Wait ! He stabbed some girl to death ? I never heard that part. Why is he getting any sympathy ?
	👻 10:57am Ben from Newark: ↳ Joe McG @10:55 Thank you!
	10:57am Dano59: ↳ Song: "It's My Party" by "Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin" that Dave Stewart / Barbara Gaskin 45 is great. Sorry to be behind playlist, I am sorting my 45s
	10:57am Roberto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:50 It was as close to hip as one was likely to get on mainstream radio in 1981.
	👻 10:57am tadpoles: ↳ clarke @10:55 Ditto Clarke....and I know it ages us...Oi! If memory serves is the MTA on the other side Joe?
	10:57am Dano59: ↳ clarke @10:49 i'll take your say-so clarke!
	10:58am Dan near StL: Hummbucking pickup on a tenor guitar.
	10:58am HyperDose: ↳ dday @10:24 Unfortunately no. Looking at shelter options with my case workers
	10:58am mndave: ↳ Song: "Tall Cool One" by "Robert Plant" Hearing a lot of Ocasek influence here!
	10:58am Dano59: ↳ Dan near StL @10:58 nice catch
	10:59am Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Tall Cool One" by "Robert Plant" whew, this is dated and, whew, wow
	10:59am Dano59: ↳ Asheville Jon @10:59 THAT '80s DRUM SOUND (gated snare)
	11:00am Dan near StL: Could have been Robert Plant’s James Bond movie theme
	11:00am Dano59: (may Jimmy Iovine burn in hell)
	11:00am lm /denver: current temp.in denver -4 wind chill -19 I'm going to montana..this place is too warm
	11:00am Dan near StL: D59 funny
	👻 11:00am jimbrux: ↳ Song: "Tall Cool One" by "Robert Plant" Amazing. Like Mac DeMarco's 'Rock n Roll Nightclub' but unironic.
	11:01am Dano59: ↳ mndave @10:58 either John Wesley Harding, Big Daddy, or Me First/Gimme Gimmes coulda had big fun with Tall Cool One
	11:02am Asheville Jon: ↳ Dano59 @10:59 it's like compilation of ultra cliche 80's sounds, all rolled up into one
	11:02am Dan near StL: D59, just scored my first Silvertone, needs work, a ES335 wannabe.
	11:02am TerrDE: Dano59 ... Im waiting for pitch correction as an effect to disappear the way that and Flanging have
	11:02am Dano59: ↳ lm /denver @11:00 Des Moines at 5 am was -15F, wind chill -31. Happy voting, Republicans!
	11:02am Dano59: ↳ TerrDE @11:02 funny you should say - that Gene Pitney from another time sounded overpitched
	11:03am clarke: ↳ Song: "I Never Cry" by "Alice Cooper" vince!!!
	11:03am Triple G: ↳ Song: "I Never Cry" by "Alice Cooper" same era as "Only Women Bleed" ...?
	11:04am Dan near StL: Alice and Glen Campbell golfing together, great image.
	11:04am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Roberto @10:57 I'm wondering if a linguistic and a sociologist would come to blows over the exact definition of hip at this late date.
	11:04am Dano59: ↳ Dan near StL @11:02 Congrats! I love my 1448 (1963) and sold my reissue Convertible to a band from Syracuse who wanted it for a video. Still have a couple Dano amps i use
	11:05am Triple G: ↳ Triple G @11:03 Apparently not, this was a few years later .. so he was consistent with the ability to pen a nice ballad
	11:05am Dano59: ↳ Song: "I Never Cry" by "Alice Cooper" ... dig the slide/steel!
	11:05am Dan near StL: Nice
	11:05am mark in helsinki: this song oddly reminds me of The Spy Who Loved Me
	11:05am TerrDE: This sounds like its ripe for a sound alike bit , tho I'm not sure what it sounds alike.
	11:06am Dano59: ↳ Triple G @11:05 maybe his two biggest AM radio hits, hard to believe
	11:06am Dan near StL: women bleed?
	11:06am Triple G: ↳ TerrDE @11:05 sounding like his "Only Women Bleed" I was mentioning
	11:06am love2laf: ↳ TerrDE @11:05 Hmmm, I'm hearing "sail away, sail away"... as the sound alike.
	11:06am Triple G: Curious if Joe agrees
	11:07am Dano59: ↳ Dan near StL @11:04 cans of Budweiser tumbling off the back of the golf cart
	11:07am milksop: Helluva set of music right there
	11:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alice. Great songs.
	11:07am Dan near StL: What peddle on this theme?
	11:08am Dano59: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:04 a linguist and a sociologist walk into the Other End...
	11:08am Dan near StL: Is killer his best LP?
	11:09am TerrDE: Must have been after my car radio was broken
	11:09am Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:03 the scene in 'Vinyl' with the scared rock critic kid calling him 'Vince'... priceless. Alice told me only his mother calls him that
	11:10am MarginWalker in Baltimore: Custard pie
	11:10am Dan near StL: I want to hear Jimmy page sing
	11:11am TerrDE: The one Clay plays w 18 as the hit IMO. Better as the group vs solo. Never trust a Rock star who drinks but doesn't do drugs.
	11:12am TerrDE: They tried in The Like It Loud movie
	11:12am Dan near StL: Dean Martin best example
	11:12am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:09 thought his mother called him Vinny!
	11:13am Dean: No! It's no the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart. It's the Hatfield & the North and other Canterbury acts Dave Stewart, the guy who played with Hillage, Bruford, et al. He and Gaskin were (are?) a couple!
	11:13am Brendan: Beaver trap
	11:14am Dan near StL: Ouch
	11:14am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Tom Dooley" by "The Kingston Trio" My late neighbor was a big Kingston Trio and Phil Ochs fan. Pre-Newark riots hippie type guy
	11:14am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:13 ah = didn't realize they were two guys. the dave i was referring to is eurythmics guy.
	11:14am Dean: See here: https://www.discogs.com/artist/150886-Dave-Stewart
	11:15am MarginWalker in Baltimore: Not sure I follow the logic in that Tricky Trapper song. 'You banged my underage daughter, now marry her so you can legally continue to have sex with my child'? As a parent, it doesn't track. I think the songwriter was indulging a fantasy of his, if anything.
	11:15am PaulRobeson1924: Hi Hi Hi
	11:15am Roberto: Opposite of Facebook = Assbook?
	11:16am TVP: "The opposite of Facebook." So, Myspace then.
	11:16am clarke: ↳ MarginWalker in Baltimore @11:15 yeah, why didn't they just use their cell-phones to figure it out!??
	11:16am PaulRobeson1924: ↳ TerrDE @11:11 Hello TerrDE. Drinking is slang for using the drug Alcohol.
	11:16am TerrDE: I remember seeing the Oches LP w him in gold Lame and thought it was serious, having never heard him.
	11:17am Dean: Per Discogs, the Dave Stewart who works with Barbara Gaskin "is NOT the Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics. That is David A. Stewart."
	11:17am Handy Haversack: 1/20 also has Shilpa Ray at TV Eye.
	11:17am HyperDose: ↳ Roberto @11:15 Then we'd have to deal with CMAA (Christian Moms Against Assbook)
	11:18am clarke: convicted Sneakers fanatic.
	11:18am Dan near StL: No subbing today thank goodness
	👻 11:18am pgalub: See you at Sneakers! 👟
	11:19am Dan near StL: But wait there’s more! Great choice J!
	11:19am Joe McG: ↳ Dean @11:17 Really? Wowza! I've been wrong about that FOREVER.
	11:19am Robm: morning fellow surface dwellers
	11:19am Dan near StL: My only BB record
	11:19am Rich from Wading River: Mitch and Chris playing at White Eagle the night I’m seeing The Dream Syndicate in NYC wants to make me tear down the time/space continuum.
	👻 11:20am Ben from Newark: ↳ Joe McG @10:55 And thanks for the plug!
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Let's Go Away for Awhile" by "The Beach Boys" 1st PrawgRawk ?
	11:20am Dan near StL: Wrecking Crew
	11:20am listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Let's Go Away for Awhile" by "The Beach Boys" FXO forever.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Rich from Wading River @11:19 the real question is will Will Rigby be on ze drooms??
	11:21am Joe McG: ↳ listener james from westwood @11:20 You said it!
	👻 11:21am pgalub: ↳ clarke @11:21 The answer is yes! Hey clarke
	11:21am Rich from Wading River: The Dave Stewart playing with Barbara Gaskin was in The National Health and played in Bill Bruford’s band.
	11:22am Dan near StL: Van Dyke Parks rocks
	11:22am love2laf: G'morning Rob, hope you had a great weekend.
	11:22am clarke: hey!! now that is COOL!! wish i could see all that!!
	11:22am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Let's Go Away for Awhile" by "The Beach Boys" Was Murry Wilson skulking around trying to get his two cents in on this one?
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ listener james from westwood @11:20 Yes.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:22 murray was "producing" other bands at this time.
	11:23am Robm: ↳ love2laf @11:22 sure did love listening to a lot of radio
	11:23am Joe McG: Thanks for straightening me out on David Stewart. I feel like such a stoopid.
	11:23am Dan near StL: Phillip Glass influence
	11:23am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Cabinessence" by "The Beach Boys" Mojo magazine put this on a 7" - it's sublime
	👻 11:23am Hughie Considine: Dave Stewart and Barbara Baskin did many a cover of new wave-era songs, like Billy Bragg's "Levi Stubbs' Tears' and even XTC's "Roads Girdle the Globe."
	11:23am TerrDE: hey Paul. To me tho it certainly has drug like effects, its more of a poison since it doesn't mimic naturally occuring body compounds by fitting into receptors. Strychnine gives a kind of high complete w colors, which is why insane or stupid unscrupulous makers would put it in Sunshine along w the Acid and Speed.
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:22 It is notable that Murry was excised before PetSounds became possible. I believe.
	👻 11:23am Hughie Considine: sorry, Gaskin
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:23 you ain't the only one!
	11:25am Rich from Wading River: I really hoped that the Dave Stewart on that Bruford album was the guy from Eutythmics. Eurythmics Dave has some collabs out there.
	11:25am Robm: ↳ clarke @11:23 clarke that series i was telling you about is called prime suspect it has helen mirrien in it, sorry to confuse you
	11:25am Dan near StL: One more time, Dave…?
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:23 keyrekt, Rev - and good morning!
	11:26am bk845: Artistically, "Now and Zen" may not have been all that impressive, and the music sounds dated nowadays, but it was a product of its time and it was Robert Plant's msot successful solo album at the time.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Robm @11:25 ahhhh, i have seen maybe two episodes of that - didn't take too well.
	11:26am TerrDE: I have 4 of Parks Tokyo Rose era CDs. There he more Broadways than Rocks, but yeah he's great.
	11:27am Dean: I've been a Canterbury Dave Stewart fan for ages, long before there was a Eurythmics, and so naturally I momentarily assumed the latter was the former, but soon otherwise. Also, growing up and playing in bands I knew an amazing bass player named...Dave Stewart. Common name, uncommon artistry.
	11:27am Robm: ↳ clarke @11:26 no problem then
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♑︎Capricorn Year of Metal 🐉Dragon (before Chinese New Year in 1941) Don Van Vliet (/væn ˈvliːt/; born Don Glen Vliet) January 15, 1941 – December 17, 2010
	11:27am Joe McG: ↳ bk845 @11:26 Very fun to listen to, for sure!
	11:27am Franco Twinkie: ↳ clarke @11:23 The Sunrays, right? The reason I ask is I had The Many Moods of Murry Wilson, and I would wonder who influenced who.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Robm @11:27 if you recommend, i could pick it back up??
	11:28am Dan near StL: Song Cycle my #1, I guess because first I bought.
	11:28am Dean: Instrumental Beach Boys reminds me of instrumental Burt Bacharach.
	11:29am clarke: the beach boys basically had what would be called, today, a murry intervention - and then started the Pet Sounds sessions.
	11:29am Dan near StL: Oh, Jump! my #2!
	11:29am Robm: ↳ clarke @11:28 if you want too it’s a great series
	👻 11:29am Hughie Considine: ↳ Dean @11:27 I discovered National Health and Caravan when my local record store received a bunch of Canterbury era LPs. Was one of my great discoveries during the pandemic.
	11:29am Dano59: ↳ Dean @11:28 heavy influences all that stuff xwirling around in Brian's head, along with Phil Spector
	11:29am dday: ↳ HyperDose @10:58 dropped you an email. follow up when you can...DD
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Robm @11:29 ok, my issues with latter-day Morse aside, i will give it another go.
	11:30am northguineahills: so loving this set! /just in ct for the afternoon....
	11:30am Dan near StL: In spite of Mike……L.
	11:31am dday: ↳ TerrDE @11:11 pretty sure Alice (Vince) has been alcohol free for well over 30 years now
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:27 Sunrays were the most famous, but murry claimed he could turn ANY band into the beach boys and tried several
	11:31am Robm: ↳ clarke @11:30 if you hate it i have no problem with that
	11:32am dday: ↳ Roberto @11:15 Anti-social media ;)
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Robm @11:31 i should give it another shot.
	11:32am Dano59: my favorite piece of advice from Van Dyke Parks: "Talk British, Think Yiddish"
	11:32am Rich in Wading River: ↳ clarke @11:21 Good heavens wouldn’t that be a kick in the pants. Saw Will with Peter Holsapple when they opened for Dream Syndicate a few years ago. Folks lost their mind when they broke out some dBs tunes.
	11:32am Franco Twinkie: ↳ clarke @11:29 I guess Capitol threw him a bone to get him the hell away from The Beach Boys. If I remember, Many Moods was cornball and mediocre. But, hey it did the job!
	11:33am TerrDE: I was a Dependant at a Deutsch US Base when Cycle came out, but the PX never got it in. I remember an Officers Wife w After Bathing At Baxters in her hand " We liked Surrealistic Pillow". She was in for a surprise
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:32 for the record, i like The Sunrays! ha ha.
	11:34am Dean: Hughie: Sometimes life is fair! I was already a Hillage/Hatfield/etc. fan when I first heard National Health. I was in Middle Earth Records in Downey, CA. Before NH's first album they were playing a bootleg of the band when Bill Bruford was working with them. (I believe the music has been legitimately issued, as I have a comp of their stuff with Bruford.) Anyway, when the first album arrived, Steve Boudreau, founder of Greenworld, an import record distribution company, handed me a promo copy.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:32 also, some of murry's sessions prompted brian to move his sessions to Sunset Sound - which was good for Pet Sounds.
	11:35am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I Never Cry" by "Alice Cooper" i actually hung out w/ dennis dunaway (bass) saturday night
	11:35am Franco Twinkie: ↳ clarke @11:33 I do to! Andrea and I Live For The Sun make me think fondly of Flanner Elementary School.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ northguineahills @11:35 again?!? cool!!
	11:36am northguineahills: ↳ clarke @11:35 it's not everyday alice cooper is played on wfmu....
	11:36am clarke: yeah, i mean, they had some great sides.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ northguineahills @11:36 every OTHER day.
	11:37am TerrDE: ? Clay plays Alice almost everyday
	👻 11:38am Hughie Considine: ↳ Dean @11:34 That's more than fair! I love any story that involves a free LP.
	11:38am Mare: Ugh thank you ❤️❤️for thoughts of the beach on a dreary January day!!!!
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:38 unless it is mitch miller!
	👻 11:39am Hughie Considine: ↳ northguineahills @11:36 Maybe next week Joe will play "Only Women Bleed," Alice's other ballad hit. I remember being confused as hell by this brief trend.
	11:39am Dean: Actually, Mitch Miller was a pretty important classical musician. Oboe.
	11:40am clarke: it's summer somewhere...
	11:40am StringOFperils: I hear Alice on woofMoo a lot too, though less of the Alice material what I'd expect to hear on woofMoo: Dishing out the non-hits...the Easy Action and Pretties For You stuff
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:39 not his albums (or any i have heard)
	11:41am StringOFperils: "the material what I'd expect". My eloquence has outdone itself
	11:42am Dean: The albums on which Miller plays or conducts classical music aren't billed as Miller records. Here's DJ Jim Svejda, one of Miller's friends: "Svejda, taking his turns in the pitchman’s seat, seemed at times barely able to contain himself on the air, rhapsodizing extemporaneously about the soul-nourishing grandeur of Beethoven, the genius of Jascha Heifetz, the transcendental oboe virtuosity of Mitch Miller."
	11:42am Andres: How can I describe how much I’ve enjoyed this set. There are no words.
	11:42am Dean: Beethoven, Heifetz, and Miller. That's something.
	👻 11:42am Hughie Considine: Oboe is notoriously difficult to master. Let's all rethink Mitch Miller for a moment.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:42 well those sing-along albums you kin keep 'em.
	11:43am Rich in Wading River: They used studio aces on most of the records but the Wilson kids could play.
	11:43am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy Belated B'day, Joe!!
	11:43am StringOFperils: 'Sing Along With Mitch' made this country...er...that country..
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Think it would be fair to say that Brian Wilson along with the Beatles legitimised the long playing record. (no filler) I play Pet Sounds every so often, sad to say it leaves me cold apart from a track or two.
	11:43am Jim the Poet: Happy Birthday, Joe!
	👻 11:43am Hughie Considine: Even cheese purveyors have their good points. Leroy Anderson was a skilled trombonist and knew seven languages.
	👻 11:44am Hughie Considine: Blessed are the cheese makers.
	11:44am Joe McG: ↳ Jim the Poet @11:43 Thanks, Jim!
	11:44am Dean: Good point about Anderson. But watch what you say about cheese purveyors. Wendy might be lurking.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Considering the BeachBoys are exalted for multi-part Vocal Harmonies - the interest a long Set sustains without them is notable.
	11:44am Barefoot Jimmy G: JMcG! Seriously digging this BB set!!! Making my morning GOOD!
	11:44am Roberto: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:44 I was about to say that!
	11:45am Barefoot Jimmy G: And, yes, HB!
	11:45am Robm: ↳ StringOFperils @11:40 SOP occasionally i hear a beatles song that i never have heard before or don’t get played too much,but those are few and far between.
	👻 11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ Roberto @11:44 Sometimes this board gets very telepathic.
	11:46am Franco Twinkie: Stan Ridgway told me this story: He was walking down Pacific Avenue in Venice when a record album came flying out of a car window. He picked it up - it was Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson. The car was waiting for the signal to turn green. Stan looked in the car and Dennis was slumped in the passenger seat. "Hey you're Dennis - I love you music!" Dennis sunk even lower in his seat and said "Thanks man." and the car sped off. A couple months later Dennis was dead.
	11:47am common: joe, all. smiley smile
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @11:43 Albums as a Form were already recognized by Classical, ShowTune & Lounge markets. None of which was lost on Brian Wilson in L.A. But getting the Pop kiddos there was the difference.
	11:48am Joe McG: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:46 Wowzer!
	11:48am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:46 That's some distribution system!
	11:49am TerrDE: Soft Machine had an Oboeist on 7. Basson is great too. For some reason there are a lot of Basson Marimba duos doing Avant Guard Classical music. Transient Canvas is my favorite.
	11:49am Chris Hiatt: Gotta cut out a few minutes early. Thanks, Joe McG!
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TerrDE @11:49 Bassoon & marimba - extraordinary timbres (tones ~ sounds).
	11:50am Dennis Diken: I interviewed Mitch Miller in person some years ago.
	11:51am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" by "The Beach... Hello Joe! I tuned in just in time to hear one of my favorite Beach Boys tunes. But now I see you played an entire set of BB and I'm worried...
	👻 11:51am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:51am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" by "The Beach... this is glorious
	11:51am Dean: For a real good time, dig Donald Erb's Red Hot Duets for contrabassoon.
	11:51am love2laf: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:51 No worries, Joe would have put RIP at the beginning of the set if it was one of those.
	11:52am TerrDE: Obviously I wont be on Spell Casters or whatever the bit is
	👻 11:52am Charles in Chicago: ↳ TerrDE @11:49 Henry Cow had Lindsey Cooper (RIP) on bassoon/oboe
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe! Great times at Beaver Beach today. Happy birthday!
	11:52am Dean: Wow, Dennis Diken! How'd it go?
	11:52am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ love2laf @11:51 Ah yes, good point. Thanks, friend! I just did a quick internet search, and Brian at least is still alive.
	👻 11:53am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:52 oops Lindsay sorry
	11:53am StringOFperils: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:52 Lindsay Cooper's solo work is worth the trip too.
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Mt. Vernon and Fairway (Theme) / I'm the Pied Pip... Was this on the original album!?
	11:53am love2laf: Thanks Joe, this was such a beautiful morning of your selections. Have a great day fellow surfactants. @Wendy he's doing a set sans singing this is the first words we've heard the whole set.
	11:53am Wendy del Formaggio: Wait, it's Joe McGasko's birthday today? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOE! You share a birthday with my dear grandmother, who would have turned 100 today.
	11:53am dday: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:50 Did you use a bouncing ball ? :)
	11:54am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:53 It's on separate a little record that came inside the LP
	11:54am morphe': Thanks JMcG and all... ...

	👻 10:07am Ben from Newark: Happy birthday Joe and Greg!
	10:07am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:04 Sorry bout your friend. It's a nice town. Part of Tejas that hasn't seem to have gone batshit crazy. My friend who used to live there was an eccentric tall guy who moved to Oklahoma recently because TX got too weird for him. Haha.
	10:07am Dan near StL: Nobody’s Listening
	10:08am HyperDose: Joe and Greg are two jolly good birthday fellows!

	10:09am clarke: happy tween day!!!
	👻 10:09am chresti: Happy birthday Joe and Greg!
	10:09am love2laf: ↳ Joe McG @10:08 You two are very cute to have a mashed together between birthday share, love it :)
	10:10am Dan near StL: So hot out you can’t do anything outside, today so cold you can’t do anything inside.
	10:10am clarke: there was some controversy over whether it was actually Gregory's bday or not.
	👻 10:10am money&pain: The future is indoors
	10:11am Joe McG: Somebody tell my landlord to turn up the damn heat in my apartment!
	10:11am Edgar from Maine: I am a rugged indoorsman.
	10:11am Dan near StL: Joe, this is splendid, truly!
	10:12am clarke: ↳ Song: "The Life We Led" by "Swansea Sound" indeedy!!!!
	10:14am DjLorraine: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:11 Nice one
	10:14am clarke: ↳ Song: "The Life We Led" by "Swansea Sound" even tho i usually loathe hearing xmas music in januar. ha ha.
	10:14am Dan near StL: Joe, seriously, have you ever played Mitch Miller? Oddest tv show, or nearly.
	👻 10:15am chresti: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:11 Lol
	10:15am Joe McG: ↳ Dan near StL @10:14 No, I don't think so! But I can't swear to it.
	10:16am clarke: would have to say Ernie Kovacs takes the cake in that category.
	10:16am Dan near StL: It might be the only records I’ve never seen in hospital thrift stores, goodwill, etc.
	10:18am clarke: ↳ Song: "Where Old Men Go" by "The Easybeats" no country.
	10:19am Dan near StL: If that’s Johnny’s first album, I think I have it.
	10:19am clarke: would that be edgar on the COOL keys???
	10:21am HyperDose: ↳ Joe McG @10:11 You get one birthday wish a year. You sure you want to use it now?!

	10:27am Edgar from Maine: Can you sleep at the station Joe?
	10:27am clarke: ↳ Song: "I Wish Today Were Yesterday" by "Mojo Men" met one of these blokes as he was 'dating' a gal in boston, mid-90's.
	10:27am Joe McG: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:27 You can, but it's not all that pleasant.
	10:28am Joe McG: ↳ dday @10:25 You ain't just whistlin' "Dixie"!
	👻 10:28am money&pain: Edgar, a fellow Maine indoorsman! A rare breed.
	👻 10:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Make sure your boxes of 45s aren't blocking the heater vents back at your apartment, Joe.
	10:28am Dan near StL: Fabreez highly recommended records. Not due to the music.
	10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☽Monday FMUvianz ~
	10:29am clarke: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:28 doh!!!
	10:29am listener mark the professors intern: more like it joe..instrumental
	10:31am Edgar from Maine: ↳ money&pain @10:28 Ayuh! Why go out when you got wildlife in your house and perilous stairs to climb?
	10:31am clarke: actually, the bloke i met was british, so i am thinking he was in The Mojos, not the Mojo Men.
	10:32am Acid Cazh: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:07 Yeah, Denton's always been a hard left turn from the rest of the state. Around 2000 or so, my weed dealer dyed his dreadlocks red, white & blue (they were usually rainbow!) and ran for mayor on the Green Party ticket. He didn't win, but he got about 28% of the vote — which is a lot of people willing to vote for a gender-noncomforming pot dealer, given that it's a Texas city.
	10:32am clarke: i'm a huge pitney fan, but i think Blue Jean is the ONLY decent bowie song in the 90's (until Heathen came out)
	10:33am Dean: Bowie, Mott the Hoople, "All the Young Dudes": https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/jan/15/bowie-mott-the-hoople-all-the-young-dudes-ziggy-stardust
	10:33am Adi from Sheffield: I'd love to come to the record fair but sadly I'm in the wrong country. 😁
	👻 10:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Just Talk" by "A.C. Marias" Not to nitpick but A.C. Marias was a duo. Bruce Gilbert was the producer and also guitar player. Great single called "Time Was."
	👻 10:35am money&pain: And various critters in the cellar.
	👻 10:36am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:35 "Trilby's Couch" is a great track too
	10:36am Edgar from Maine: ↳ money&pain @10:35 A bunch of em probably drowned this weekend!

	10:37am Joe McG: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:35 Nitpick away, Hughie! I am always more interested in accuracy than ego.
	👻 10:37am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:35 I think Lewis was involved too, at least on some tracks (?)
	👻 10:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @10:37 That's one reason why I'm such a fan, Joe.
	10:37am rx "rexy" scabin: I have this on 45 somewhere.
	10:37am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:37 si, i will be late for 3CM, guests in town.
	10:38am Dan near StL: Are 45’s generally poorer quality sound, vinyl? I’ve always assumed so. But, Steely Dan’s live version of Bohdisava, with drunk Bill Cosby intro (long!) is only 45rpm B-side. Unforgettable.
	👻 10:38am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Dan near StL @10:38 usually higher RPMs mean better sound
	10:39am Joe McG: Only MY 45s sound shittier.
	10:39am clarke: ↳ Dan near StL @10:38 no, i think for the most part, the grooves on a 7" allow for better high end reproduction. most of the time.
	10:39am Dan near StL: Thanks CiC, got some wind chill have you?
	10:39am TerrDE: I always thought 78s sounded better than 45s
	👻 10:40am Charles in Chicago: ↳ clarke @10:39 faster speed means the sound waves are spread across more linear space. same thing with tape speed, faster is better. and yeah it's effing cold here today!
	10:40am clarke: ↳ TerrDE @10:39 depends on what you play them on.
	👻 10:41am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:40 of course, CHEAP 45s will sound worse. and also if the song is long and they squeeze the grooves too tight to make it fit that's no good.
	10:41am clarke: there is nothing like hearing 78's on an old mono player with a large speaker.
	10:41am Dan near StL: My first and 2nd 45’s were Whole Lotta Love, without middle freak out, and Shirley Basie, Goldfinger, 3rd, again short version, light my fire.
	10:41am Edgar from Maine: Similar principle in digital music. More info in a smaller amount of time can produce “better” sound.
	👻 10:42am Charles in Chicago: now I'm wondering if anyone is putting out new 78RPM records.
	10:43am clarke: not that i know about.
	10:43am The Oscar: My sense is that, in theory, 45s have greater sound quality, but in practice they're far more likely to be in rough condition thanks to flimsier packaging and perceived disposability.
	10:43am Dan near StL: Shellac Fidelity?!?
	10:44am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Tricked & Trapped (By a Tricky Trapper)" by "Chai... Not to nitpick, but if you don't expect a Tricky Trapper to trick and trap you, you might not be paying attention.
	👻 10:44am Charles in Chicago: ↳ clarke @10:43 rivermontrecords.com... here it is
	10:44am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Joe and Everyone. Good luck and goodbye.
	10:44am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:44 yeah i mean it is not a Tracker!
	10:45am Dan near StL: I love when mary smashes Buffalo Gals 78 in It’s A Wonderful Life. Imagine the out takes!
	10:45am Dean: The Hatfield & the North, National Health, et al., Dave Stewart here.
	10:46am clarke: but, then again, we didn't make chairman of the board.
	10:46am TerrDE: Of course slower speed allows the needle to track better. There must be some kind of encoding to play speed curve like tape speed or sampling rate where there's an optimum point for snr and fidelity.
	10:46am Dan near StL: Wow! Best track so far!
	10:46am Son Of Pantz: Is this the Eurythmics Dave Stewart?
	10:46am lm: it's my party! yes!
	10:47am Dan near StL: The Big Beat!
	👻 10:47am Charles in Chicago: ↳ TerrDE @10:46 you want is as fast as it can go without skating
	10:47am Dean: See my comment @10:45, Son of Pantz.
	👻 10:47am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:44 I've been trapped and kept by a Trapper Keeper!
	👻 10:47am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "It's My Party" by "Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin" Cool version!
	10:47am Roberto: ↳ Song: "It's My Party" by "Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin" This track made the KLOS top 100 for 1981. At least I think it was KLOS. One of those hip L.A. stations of the early '80s.
	10:48am Dean: Gaskin sang with National Health and Hatfield, too.
	10:48am Joe McG: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:47 Ha ha!
	10:48am TerrDE: What's that shiney stain on Judy's blouse?
	10:49am clarke: hey, that latest rekkid Dave Stewart released is very kinks-influenced and pretty dang good.
	10:49am MikeG: ...please stop saying 'Joe'
	10:50am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Roberto @10:47 KLOS!? Only hip if you're been sarcastic.
	10:50am dale: morning. i started singing it's a heartache before wencke chimed in. some songs you just can't hide even with different arrangements.
	10:50am Joe McG: ↳ MikeG @10:49 Hey!
	10:50am Adi from Sheffield: Not quite got Tyler's gravel inflections 😁
	10:51am TerrDE: Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler should have combined for a High Drama Rock tour
	10:51am SheWolf: Yeah, this song's going to make me tear up even though I have no idea what she's saying.
	10:51am Joe mcg/the people's dj/lm: nice ..back to back!
	10:51am Dan near StL: Where you goin’ with that 45 in your hand
	10:53am Dan near StL: Dickey Smothers in German

	👻 10:54am Ben from Newark: Hey Joe, if your schedule permits it, I'd love for you to check out my Radio Row on Sunday
	10:54am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Tom Dooley" by "The Kingston Trio" feel like we had a version of this on a Weavers vinyl collection when I was growing up.
	10:55am Joe McG: ↳ Ben from Newark @10:54 Will do, Ben!
	10:55am clarke: ↳ Song: "Tom Dooley" by "The Kingston Trio" this is one of the early 45's we had that was just around - early memories.
	10:55am Handy Haversack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:47 That's how they getcha.
	10:55am MikeG: Only the Kingston Trio can turn a folk song originally about rape and murder into a campfire singalong.
	10:55am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Laß mein Knie, Joe" by "Wencke Myhre" thank for playing that (German?) "It's a Heartache". Recently heard a cover of "Bei mir bist du schon" and have added it to my let's-screw-with-the-punters open mic repertoire.
	10:56am bk845: Tall Cool one! Man, I love this song...Fun album:)
	10:56am Dan near StL: Talk about whiplash Jose!
	10:56am TerrDE: Wait ! He stabbed some girl to death ? I never heard that part. Why is he getting any sympathy ?
	👻 10:57am Ben from Newark: ↳ Joe McG @10:55 Thank you!
	10:57am Dano59: ↳ Song: "It's My Party" by "Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin" that Dave Stewart / Barbara Gaskin 45 is great. Sorry to be behind playlist, I am sorting my 45s
	10:57am Roberto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:50 It was as close to hip as one was likely to get on mainstream radio in 1981.
	👻 10:57am tadpoles: ↳ clarke @10:55 Ditto Clarke....and I know it ages us...Oi! If memory serves is the MTA on the other side Joe?
	10:57am Dano59: ↳ clarke @10:49 i'll take your say-so clarke!
	10:58am Dan near StL: Hummbucking pickup on a tenor guitar.
	10:58am HyperDose: ↳ dday @10:24 Unfortunately no. Looking at shelter options with my case workers
	10:58am mndave: ↳ Song: "Tall Cool One" by "Robert Plant" Hearing a lot of Ocasek influence here!
	10:58am Dano59: ↳ Dan near StL @10:58 nice catch
	10:59am Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Tall Cool One" by "Robert Plant" whew, this is dated and, whew, wow
	10:59am Dano59: ↳ Asheville Jon @10:59 THAT '80s DRUM SOUND (gated snare)
	11:00am Dan near StL: Could have been Robert Plant’s James Bond movie theme
	11:00am Dano59: (may Jimmy Iovine burn in hell)
	11:00am lm /denver: current temp.in denver -4 wind chill -19 I'm going to montana..this place is too warm
	11:00am Dan near StL: D59 funny
	👻 11:00am jimbrux: ↳ Song: "Tall Cool One" by "Robert Plant" Amazing. Like Mac DeMarco's 'Rock n Roll Nightclub' but unironic.
	11:01am Dano59: ↳ mndave @10:58 either John Wesley Harding, Big Daddy, or Me First/Gimme Gimmes coulda had big fun with Tall Cool One
	11:02am Asheville Jon: ↳ Dano59 @10:59 it's like compilation of ultra cliche 80's sounds, all rolled up into one
	11:02am Dan near StL: D59, just scored my first Silvertone, needs work, a ES335 wannabe.
	11:02am TerrDE: Dano59 ... Im waiting for pitch correction as an effect to disappear the way that and Flanging have
	11:02am Dano59: ↳ lm /denver @11:00 Des Moines at 5 am was -15F, wind chill -31. Happy voting, Republicans!
	11:02am Dano59: ↳ TerrDE @11:02 funny you should say - that Gene Pitney from another time sounded overpitched
	11:03am clarke: ↳ Song: "I Never Cry" by "Alice Cooper" vince!!!
	11:03am Triple G: ↳ Song: "I Never Cry" by "Alice Cooper" same era as "Only Women Bleed" ...?
	11:04am Dan near StL: Alice and Glen Campbell golfing together, great image.
	11:04am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Roberto @10:57 I'm wondering if a linguistic and a sociologist would come to blows over the exact definition of hip at this late date.
	11:04am Dano59: ↳ Dan near StL @11:02 Congrats! I love my 1448 (1963) and sold my reissue Convertible to a band from Syracuse who wanted it for a video. Still have a couple Dano amps i use
	11:05am Triple G: ↳ Triple G @11:03 Apparently not, this was a few years later .. so he was consistent with the ability to pen a nice ballad
	11:05am Dano59: ↳ Song: "I Never Cry" by "Alice Cooper" ... dig the slide/steel!
	11:05am Dan near StL: Nice
	11:05am mark in helsinki: this song oddly reminds me of The Spy Who Loved Me
	11:05am TerrDE: This sounds like its ripe for a sound alike bit , tho I'm not sure what it sounds alike.
	11:06am Dano59: ↳ Triple G @11:05 maybe his two biggest AM radio hits, hard to believe
	11:06am Dan near StL: women bleed?
	11:06am Triple G: ↳ TerrDE @11:05 sounding like his "Only Women Bleed" I was mentioning
	11:06am love2laf: ↳ TerrDE @11:05 Hmmm, I'm hearing "sail away, sail away"... as the sound alike.
	11:06am Triple G: Curious if Joe agrees
	11:07am Dano59: ↳ Dan near StL @11:04 cans of Budweiser tumbling off the back of the golf cart
	11:07am milksop: Helluva set of music right there
	11:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alice. Great songs.
	11:07am Dan near StL: What peddle on this theme?
	11:08am Dano59: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:04 a linguist and a sociologist walk into the Other End...
	11:08am Dan near StL: Is killer his best LP?
	11:09am TerrDE: Must have been after my car radio was broken
	11:09am Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:03 the scene in 'Vinyl' with the scared rock critic kid calling him 'Vince'... priceless. Alice told me only his mother calls him that
	11:10am MarginWalker in Baltimore: Custard pie
	11:10am Dan near StL: I want to hear Jimmy page sing
	11:11am TerrDE: The one Clay plays w 18 as the hit IMO. Better as the group vs solo. Never trust a Rock star who drinks but doesn't do drugs.
	11:12am TerrDE: They tried in The Like It Loud movie
	11:12am Dan near StL: Dean Martin best example
	11:12am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:09 thought his mother called him Vinny!
	11:13am Dean: No! It's no the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart. It's the Hatfield & the North and other Canterbury acts Dave Stewart, the guy who played with Hillage, Bruford, et al. He and Gaskin were (are?) a couple!
	11:13am Brendan: Beaver trap
	11:14am Dan near StL: Ouch
	11:14am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Tom Dooley" by "The Kingston Trio" My late neighbor was a big Kingston Trio and Phil Ochs fan. Pre-Newark riots hippie type guy
	11:14am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:13 ah = didn't realize they were two guys. the dave i was referring to is eurythmics guy.
	11:14am Dean: See here: https://www.discogs.com/artist/150886-Dave-Stewart
	11:15am MarginWalker in Baltimore: Not sure I follow the logic in that Tricky Trapper song. 'You banged my underage daughter, now marry her so you can legally continue to have sex with my child'? As a parent, it doesn't track. I think the songwriter was indulging a fantasy of his, if anything.
	11:15am PaulRobeson1924: Hi Hi Hi
	11:15am Roberto: Opposite of Facebook = Assbook?
	11:16am TVP: "The opposite of Facebook." So, Myspace then.
	11:16am clarke: ↳ MarginWalker in Baltimore @11:15 yeah, why didn't they just use their cell-phones to figure it out!??
	11:16am PaulRobeson1924: ↳ TerrDE @11:11 Hello TerrDE. Drinking is slang for using the drug Alcohol.
	11:16am TerrDE: I remember seeing the Oches LP w him in gold Lame and thought it was serious, having never heard him.
	11:17am Dean: Per Discogs, the Dave Stewart who works with Barbara Gaskin "is NOT the Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics. That is David A. Stewart."
	11:17am Handy Haversack: 1/20 also has Shilpa Ray at TV Eye.
	11:17am HyperDose: ↳ Roberto @11:15 Then we'd have to deal with CMAA (Christian Moms Against Assbook)
	11:18am clarke: convicted Sneakers fanatic.
	11:18am Dan near StL: No subbing today thank goodness
	👻 11:18am pgalub: See you at Sneakers! 👟
	11:19am Dan near StL: But wait there’s more! Great choice J!
	11:19am Joe McG: ↳ Dean @11:17 Really? Wowza! I've been wrong about that FOREVER.

	11:19am Dan near StL: My only BB record
	11:19am Rich from Wading River: Mitch and Chris playing at White Eagle the night I’m seeing The Dream Syndicate in NYC wants to make me tear down the time/space continuum.

	11:20am listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Let's Go Away for Awhile" by "The Beach Boys" FXO forever.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Rich from Wading River @11:19 the real question is will Will Rigby be on ze drooms??
	11:21am Joe McG: ↳ listener james from westwood @11:20 You said it!
	👻 11:21am pgalub: ↳ clarke @11:21 The answer is yes! Hey clarke
	11:21am Rich from Wading River: The Dave Stewart playing with Barbara Gaskin was in The National Health and played in Bill Bruford’s band.
	11:22am Dan near StL: Van Dyke Parks rocks
	11:22am love2laf: G'morning Rob, hope you had a great weekend.
	11:22am clarke: hey!! now that is COOL!! wish i could see all that!!
	11:22am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Let's Go Away for Awhile" by "The Beach Boys" Was Murry Wilson skulking around trying to get his two cents in on this one?
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ listener james from westwood @11:20 Yes.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:22 murray was "producing" other bands at this time.
	11:23am Robm: ↳ love2laf @11:22 sure did love listening to a lot of radio
	11:23am Joe McG: Thanks for straightening me out on David Stewart. I feel like such a stoopid.
	11:23am Dan near StL: Phillip Glass influence
	11:23am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Cabinessence" by "The Beach Boys" Mojo magazine put this on a 7" - it's sublime
	👻 11:23am Hughie Considine: Dave Stewart and Barbara Baskin did many a cover of new wave-era songs, like Billy Bragg's "Levi Stubbs' Tears' and even XTC's "Roads Girdle the Globe."
	11:23am TerrDE: hey Paul. To me tho it certainly has drug like effects, its more of a poison since it doesn't mimic naturally occuring body compounds by fitting into receptors. Strychnine gives a kind of high complete w colors, which is why insane or stupid unscrupulous makers would put it in Sunshine along w the Acid and Speed.
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:22 It is notable that Murry was excised before PetSounds became possible. I believe.
	👻 11:23am Hughie Considine: sorry, Gaskin
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:23 you ain't the only one!
	11:25am Rich from Wading River: I really hoped that the Dave Stewart on that Bruford album was the guy from Eutythmics. Eurythmics Dave has some collabs out there.
	11:25am Robm: ↳ clarke @11:23 clarke that series i was telling you about is called prime suspect it has helen mirrien in it, sorry to confuse you
	11:25am Dan near StL: One more time, Dave…?
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:23 keyrekt, Rev - and good morning!
	11:26am bk845: Artistically, "Now and Zen" may not have been all that impressive, and the music sounds dated nowadays, but it was a product of its time and it was Robert Plant's msot successful solo album at the time.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Robm @11:25 ahhhh, i have seen maybe two episodes of that - didn't take too well.
	11:26am TerrDE: I have 4 of Parks Tokyo Rose era CDs. There he more Broadways than Rocks, but yeah he's great.
	11:27am Dean: I've been a Canterbury Dave Stewart fan for ages, long before there was a Eurythmics, and so naturally I momentarily assumed the latter was the former, but soon otherwise. Also, growing up and playing in bands I knew an amazing bass player named...Dave Stewart. Common name, uncommon artistry.
	11:27am Robm: ↳ clarke @11:26 no problem then
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♑︎Capricorn Year of Metal 🐉Dragon (before Chinese New Year in 1941) Don Van Vliet (/væn ˈvliːt/; born Don Glen Vliet) January 15, 1941 – December 17, 2010
	11:27am Joe McG: ↳ bk845 @11:26 Very fun to listen to, for sure!
	11:27am Franco Twinkie: ↳ clarke @11:23 The Sunrays, right? The reason I ask is I had The Many Moods of Murry Wilson, and I would wonder who influenced who.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Robm @11:27 if you recommend, i could pick it back up??
	11:28am Dan near StL: Song Cycle my #1, I guess because first I bought.
	11:28am Dean: Instrumental Beach Boys reminds me of instrumental Burt Bacharach.
	11:29am clarke: the beach boys basically had what would be called, today, a murry intervention - and then started the Pet Sounds sessions.
	11:29am Dan near StL: Oh, Jump! my #2!
	11:29am Robm: ↳ clarke @11:28 if you want too it’s a great series
	👻 11:29am Hughie Considine: ↳ Dean @11:27 I discovered National Health and Caravan when my local record store received a bunch of Canterbury era LPs. Was one of my great discoveries during the pandemic.
	11:29am Dano59: ↳ Dean @11:28 heavy influences all that stuff xwirling around in Brian's head, along with Phil Spector
	11:29am dday: ↳ HyperDose @10:58 dropped you an email. follow up when you can...DD
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Robm @11:29 ok, my issues with latter-day Morse aside, i will give it another go.
	11:30am northguineahills: so loving this set! /just in ct for the afternoon....
	11:30am Dan near StL: In spite of Mike……L.
	11:31am dday: ↳ TerrDE @11:11 pretty sure Alice (Vince) has been alcohol free for well over 30 years now
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:27 Sunrays were the most famous, but murry claimed he could turn ANY band into the beach boys and tried several
	11:31am Robm: ↳ clarke @11:30 if you hate it i have no problem with that
	11:32am dday: ↳ Roberto @11:15 Anti-social media ;)
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Robm @11:31 i should give it another shot.
	11:32am Dano59: my favorite piece of advice from Van Dyke Parks: "Talk British, Think Yiddish"
	11:32am Rich in Wading River: ↳ clarke @11:21 Good heavens wouldn’t that be a kick in the pants. Saw Will with Peter Holsapple when they opened for Dream Syndicate a few years ago. Folks lost their mind when they broke out some dBs tunes.
	11:32am Franco Twinkie: ↳ clarke @11:29 I guess Capitol threw him a bone to get him the hell away from The Beach Boys. If I remember, Many Moods was cornball and mediocre. But, hey it did the job!
	11:33am TerrDE: I was a Dependant at a Deutsch US Base when Cycle came out, but the PX never got it in. I remember an Officers Wife w After Bathing At Baxters in her hand " We liked Surrealistic Pillow". She was in for a surprise
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:32 for the record, i like The Sunrays! ha ha.
	11:34am Dean: Hughie: Sometimes life is fair! I was already a Hillage/Hatfield/etc. fan when I first heard National Health. I was in Middle Earth Records in Downey, CA. Before NH's first album they were playing a bootleg of the band when Bill Bruford was working with them. (I believe the music has been legitimately issued, as I have a comp of their stuff with Bruford.) Anyway, when the first album arrived, Steve Boudreau, founder of Greenworld, an import record distribution company, handed me a promo copy.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:32 also, some of murry's sessions prompted brian to move his sessions to Sunset Sound - which was good for Pet Sounds.
	11:35am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I Never Cry" by "Alice Cooper" i actually hung out w/ dennis dunaway (bass) saturday night
	11:35am Franco Twinkie: ↳ clarke @11:33 I do to! Andrea and I Live For The Sun make me think fondly of Flanner Elementary School.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ northguineahills @11:35 again?!? cool!!
	11:36am northguineahills: ↳ clarke @11:35 it's not everyday alice cooper is played on wfmu....
	11:36am clarke: yeah, i mean, they had some great sides.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ northguineahills @11:36 every OTHER day.
	11:37am TerrDE: ? Clay plays Alice almost everyday
	👻 11:38am Hughie Considine: ↳ Dean @11:34 That's more than fair! I love any story that involves a free LP.
	11:38am Mare: Ugh thank you ❤️❤️for thoughts of the beach on a dreary January day!!!!
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:38 unless it is mitch miller!
	👻 11:39am Hughie Considine: ↳ northguineahills @11:36 Maybe next week Joe will play "Only Women Bleed," Alice's other ballad hit. I remember being confused as hell by this brief trend.
	11:39am Dean: Actually, Mitch Miller was a pretty important classical musician. Oboe.
	11:40am clarke: it's summer somewhere...
	11:40am StringOFperils: I hear Alice on woofMoo a lot too, though less of the Alice material what I'd expect to hear on woofMoo: Dishing out the non-hits...the Easy Action and Pretties For You stuff
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:39 not his albums (or any i have heard)
	11:41am StringOFperils: "the material what I'd expect". My eloquence has outdone itself
	11:42am Dean: The albums on which Miller plays or conducts classical music aren't billed as Miller records. Here's DJ Jim Svejda, one of Miller's friends: "Svejda, taking his turns in the pitchman’s seat, seemed at times barely able to contain himself on the air, rhapsodizing extemporaneously about the soul-nourishing grandeur of Beethoven, the genius of Jascha Heifetz, the transcendental oboe virtuosity of Mitch Miller."
	11:42am Andres: How can I describe how much I’ve enjoyed this set. There are no words.
	11:42am Dean: Beethoven, Heifetz, and Miller. That's something.
	👻 11:42am Hughie Considine: Oboe is notoriously difficult to master. Let's all rethink Mitch Miller for a moment.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:42 well those sing-along albums you kin keep 'em.
	11:43am Rich in Wading River: They used studio aces on most of the records but the Wilson kids could play.
	11:43am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy Belated B'day, Joe!!
	11:43am StringOFperils: 'Sing Along With Mitch' made this country...er...that country..
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Think it would be fair to say that Brian Wilson along with the Beatles legitimised the long playing record. (no filler) I play Pet Sounds every so often, sad to say it leaves me cold apart from a track or two.
	11:43am Jim the Poet: Happy Birthday, Joe!
	👻 11:43am Hughie Considine: Even cheese purveyors have their good points. Leroy Anderson was a skilled trombonist and knew seven languages.
	👻 11:44am Hughie Considine: Blessed are the cheese makers.
	11:44am Joe McG: ↳ Jim the Poet @11:43 Thanks, Jim!
	11:44am Dean: Good point about Anderson. But watch what you say about cheese purveyors. Wendy might be lurking.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Considering the BeachBoys are exalted for multi-part Vocal Harmonies - the interest a long Set sustains without them is notable.
	11:44am Barefoot Jimmy G: JMcG! Seriously digging this BB set!!! Making my morning GOOD!
	11:44am Roberto: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:44 I was about to say that!
	11:45am Barefoot Jimmy G: And, yes, HB!
	11:45am Robm: ↳ StringOFperils @11:40 SOP occasionally i hear a beatles song that i never have heard before or don’t get played too much,but those are few and far between.
	👻 11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ Roberto @11:44 Sometimes this board gets very telepathic.
	11:46am Franco Twinkie: Stan Ridgway told me this story: He was walking down Pacific Avenue in Venice when a record album came flying out of a car window. He picked it up - it was Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson. The car was waiting for the signal to turn green. Stan looked in the car and Dennis was slumped in the passenger seat. "Hey you're Dennis - I love you music!" Dennis sunk even lower in his seat and said "Thanks man." and the car sped off. A couple months later Dennis was dead.
	11:47am common: joe, all. smiley smile
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @11:43 Albums as a Form were already recognized by Classical, ShowTune & Lounge markets. None of which was lost on Brian Wilson in L.A. But getting the Pop kiddos there was the difference.
	11:48am Joe McG: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:46 Wowzer!
	11:48am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:46 That's some distribution system!
	11:49am TerrDE: Soft Machine had an Oboeist on 7. Basson is great too. For some reason there are a lot of Basson Marimba duos doing Avant Guard Classical music. Transient Canvas is my favorite.
	11:49am Chris Hiatt: Gotta cut out a few minutes early. Thanks, Joe McG!
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TerrDE @11:49 Bassoon & marimba - extraordinary timbres (tones ~ sounds).
	11:50am Dennis Diken: I interviewed Mitch Miller in person some years ago.
	11:51am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" by "The Beach... Hello Joe! I tuned in just in time to hear one of my favorite Beach Boys tunes. But now I see you played an entire set of BB and I'm worried...
	👻 11:51am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:51am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" by "The Beach... this is glorious
	11:51am Dean: For a real good time, dig Donald Erb's Red Hot Duets for contrabassoon.
	11:51am love2laf: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:51 No worries, Joe would have put RIP at the beginning of the set if it was one of those.
	11:52am TerrDE: Obviously I wont be on Spell Casters or whatever the bit is
	👻 11:52am Charles in Chicago: ↳ TerrDE @11:49 Henry Cow had Lindsey Cooper (RIP) on bassoon/oboe
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe! Great times at Beaver Beach today. Happy birthday!
	11:52am Dean: Wow, Dennis Diken! How'd it go?
	11:52am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ love2laf @11:51 Ah yes, good point. Thanks, friend! I just did a quick internet search, and Brian at least is still alive.
	👻 11:53am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:52 oops Lindsay sorry
	11:53am StringOFperils: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:52 Lindsay Cooper's solo work is worth the trip too.
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Mt. Vernon and Fairway (Theme) / I'm the Pied Pip... Was this on the original album!?
	11:53am love2laf: Thanks Joe, this was such a beautiful morning of your selections. Have a great day fellow surfactants. @Wendy he's doing a set sans singing this is the first words we've heard the whole set.
	11:53am Wendy del Formaggio: Wait, it's Joe McGasko's birthday today? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOE! You share a birthday with my dear grandmother, who would have turned 100 today.
	11:53am dday: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:50 Did you use a bouncing ball ? :)
	11:54am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:53 It's on separate a little record that came inside the LP
	11:54am morphe': Thanks JMcG and all... ...
	11:55am northguineahills: thanks joe! feliz cumpleanos!
	11:55am morphe': ps??? why the BBs set?

	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for the birthday wishes and for listening in today, folks! Hope you enjoyed the show. See you next time! Happy MLK Day.
	11:56am Dean: All instrumentals by a band renowned for its vocals
	11:56am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @11:54 I never got that! I bought the album at JCPenny when I was a senior in high school.
	11:56am Brendan: Thanks Joe, save me a piece of cake.
	11:56am TerrDE: Happy birthday Joe, if it indeed is. Thanks for working on it , I never have.
	11:57am morphe': HBD JMcG !!!!! Another day older and deeper in debt .. to the new landlord who changed the hallway decor and raised the rents !!!!
	11:57am dday: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:50 Dennis. So sorry I have yet to send that book (The Who @ Union Catholic HS) I promised you. I will soon. Lots of not good things have been happening here recently, so I will ASAP.
	11:57am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:56 I can't find it quickly on DISCOGS. It had its own cardboard cover and artwork
	11:58am listener 126464: Thanks, Joe McG.! Happy birthday!
	11:58am Dennis Diken: Dean - great. He even called me at home to clarify a point afterwards. He was in Gershwin’s touring orchestra for “Rhapsody In Blue” and sat next to GW on the train each day, taking notes of his complaints re the musicians not getting the nuance of the score to his liking. Mitch later recorded a version of RIB based on said notes. He gave me a CD of that performance (waxed at Abbey Road).
	👻 11:58am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:53 Everything by anybody associated with Henry Cow is worth checking out! Frith, Cooper, Hodgkinson, Krause...
	11:58am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @11:57 I feel so gypped!
	11:58am Dennis Diken: @dday - no sweat!
	11:58am TerrDE: As the Tralfamadorian said... Goodbye, Joe Hello, Joe
