WFMU: Surface Noise with Joe McGasko: Playlist from June 19, 2011

Listener comments!
	12:10am 12539: It begins again, the Force of Sleep vs the Force of Joe, and me in a drowsy funk.
	12:12am Joe McG: Hey, 12539! Am I a force for good or evil?
	12:13am Loving The Tunes So Far: Force majeure.
	12:14am Matt from Springfield: Hey Joe! Nice Fela and Afrika 70! So who do you think is better...Afrika 70, or Brasil 66!
	12:15am 12539: Joe, you are a force of life, or at least of wakefulness.
	12:17am Joe McG: @Matt: As long as it's not Heaven 17, I'm OK. (Just kidding, I've played them on this show.)
	12:20am Joe McG: @12539: Life! I'm glad I have something to do with it!
	12:23am 12539: I thought I was in a drowsy funk, but now I think it's a funky drowse.
	12:24am Joe McG: @12539: At least it's not a drunky frowse.
	12:25am Matt from Springfield: @12539: Fer sure! If you have to be in a drowse, make sure it's a funky drowse! You can also still be on the dance floor if you're in a disco drowse.
	12:29am Matt from Springfield: Seu Jorge! The Brazilian guitarist covering Bowie songs in Portuguese in "The Life Aquatic"! I have that CD, and love Seu's interpretation of any song.
	12:29am Marmalade Owl: Hey Joe, It's good to catch you live!
	12:31am Joe McG: @ Marmalade: Instead of...dead?
	12:33am Marmalade Owl: I've caught you alive! :)
	12:35am Matt from Springfield: "Suey"?????!!! What am I, chop suey?! I woulda guessed "Su Hor-hay". Soy George is a good one though, could even work as the name of a Latin American electronica DJ!
	12:39am Joe McG: Soy George works at the health food store, I think.
	12:40am slugluv1313: do you have "Proud to Call Him Dad" by The Reeves Brothers???
	12:40am Matt from Springfield: For those interested in learning more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fela_Kuti There's quite a long history about this musician, very interesting past!
	12:41am Joe McG: @slugluv: I can look for it...do you know if it was on a comp?
	12:42am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: And if the health food customer is also named George: "Yo soy George. And if you like, I get you some soy, George."
	12:45am Matt from Springfield: Loved the Soul Raga, and this one from S.D. Narang is amazing 70s Indian, like translated from American rock styles. You need to do a block dedicated to "Indian Style Heavy Funk"!
	12:46am Joe McG: @Not a bad idea, Matt!
	12:46am Matt from Springfield: Iron Butterfly! Was thinking the exact same thing during S.D. Narang!
	12:46am Joe McG: @@@@@:)
	12:49am #K: oh! hey! and, the incredible bongo band does one of my favorite versions of Apache.
	12:50am Joe McG: Hey, #K! That "Apache" superset is going to happen any day now!
	12:53am #K: well please let me know if you need any suggestions
	12:56am Matt from Springfield: Is this Nervebreakers "new, new" or a reissue? They really rock like the 70s in any case!
	12:57am Joe McG: @#K: Will do do do!
	12:58am Joe McG: @Matt: late 70s Texas, I'm pretty sure. Need your research help, Matt!
	1:00am slugluv1313: i just did a search -- cannot seem to find it ANYWHERE! and the song itself may be called "Dad" -- i have the cassette SOMEWHERE; i bought it from the restaurant that was run by the family called Paw Paw's Place in Elkton (i think) Maryland -- maybe 1992?
	1:01am 12539: (Tuvan Bryce?)
	1:02am Lurch: You rang?
	1:02am Joe McG: @12539: Good ears!
	1:03am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: "Crowdsourcing" on FMU playlists is the most effective way of researching anything! Hopefully someone can chime in on the Nervebreakers (or better still, one of the members of the Nervebreakers will leave a comment here tomorrow thanking you for playing their stuff!)
	1:03am steveroo: enjoying the show tonight while making my dad a cake for tomorrow. not once have i had a twitch debating to change the station.
	1:04am Matt from Springfield: Good ears indeed, spotting Bryce! Was that promo to promote a throat-singing guest, or just for S&Gs?
	1:04am Joe McG: Cool, Steveroo! What a nice thing to do!
	1:06am Joe McG: @slugluv: Wow, I may not be able to get that Reeves Bros. on! But I hope you dig what I do put on. @Matt: I just liked his station ID, so I recorded it surrepsuperstitiously.
	1:08am 12539: Nervebreakers: Texas, late 70's through 1980. How about trying... www.nervebreakers.com/history.htm ...too obvious?
	1:09am Joe McG: Ha ha..maybe I'm too lazy!
	1:09am Jonathan Skinner: yes, very nice show! working late -- it's a good, good vibe. thanks, Joe.
	1:10am steveroo: he may not think so. my dad is not a drinker but the black forrest cake calls for liquor. i mentioned it to him and he just mumbled make it how the recipe calls for. it'll be my first time having it not store bought from a grocery store. as long as i'm doing something productive; your show is better than SNL on a satuday night
	1:10am coffeesout: Omniverse
	1:11am Matt from Springfield: @12539: Obvious, perhaps, but it is an official history. Crowdsourcing on FMU works every time! Thanks!
	1:13am slugluv1313: no prob, Mr. McGasko! although if i ever find the cassette -- wil figure out a way to get a copy to you and WFMU -- turns out that the restaurant was called Pap Paw's Place and oh no! it appears that DAD has just recently passed! :( http://www.rtfoard.com/obits/obituaries.asp?listing_id=171425
	1:20am Joe McG: @slugluv: Oh, no! Poor dad! I wish I could play it in his memory.
	1:27am chris: excellent show tonight. so many great songs
	1:27am Joe McG: Thanks, Chris!
	1:27am Marmalade Owl: The battle of the beanfields 1985 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JCkUZAwvEA
	1:28am slugluv1313: THANK YOU, Mr. McGasko! i know what you mean! only about a month ago . . .
	1:31am Adam in Portland: R.I.P. Clarence Clemons.
	1:32am Marmalade Owl: -The battle of beanfield 1985 unedited unseen ITN news footage of police assaulting summer solstice alternative festival and travellers
	1:34am Adam in Portland: Sorry to be a downer, but so fitting to mention on WFMU.
	1:35am Joe McG: @Not at all, Adam. @MOwl: Is it Glastonbury time over there?
	1:35am Adam in Portland: I just thought it'd be great to hear him blow soon in remembrance of his myriad contributions to Jersey rock.
	1:35am Matt from Springfield: @Adam: Yes, I saw that earlier on a news site and on Daniel B's playlist. But he lives on in another era, ruling the world in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure's future! :)
	1:36am Adam in Portland: Matt: you are so, so correct, Sir. :-)
	1:37am yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Earth): Goood morning everyone
	1:38am Adam in Portland: Hey, Yair!!!
	1:41am Matt from Springfield: @M Owl: I've heard of various confrontations between police and travellers (New Age and Irish) in the 90s, plus stories of how they banned Rave parties; never saw that footage before.
	1:41am Joe McG: Hey, Yair Yona!
	1:41am Matt from Springfield: Good morning Yair! How's it going in Tel Aviv? Eating breakfast now?
	1:42am fleep: Either Wilson Pickett is warped, or I am. Maybe both. Evening/morning everyone, Joe
	1:43am Adam in Portland: Heya, Fleep! I felt a bit woozy myself.
	1:43am Matt from Springfield: @fleep: Seemed OK to me, so judging by Joe's comment I must also be "pressed slightly off-center" tonight!
	1:44am Matt from Springfield: Doris Troy = "Just One Look" back in '63. Thought that name was familiar, I have that one!
	1:46am Marmalade Owl: Yes glastonbury starts next wednesday, 22nd-26th june. but a stone throw from Glastonbury is Stone Henge, which also currently has solstice festival (which was banned for 15 years following the gov/ Police shutting down and creating new prohibitive laws etc..)
	1:48am Joe McG: I was just reading about the solstice festivals in that book "Electric Eden."
	1:56am (mta) Tony: Hi Joe, did I hear you say you wanted to have the album, "Chameleon" by Frankie Valli on MoWest? It's available on Amazon for 5 bucks. If you want it, let me know now and I'll pick it up for you and transfer it to CDR for you, too, with full artwork. Or, perhaps I misunderstood you and you said you wanted a different thing, such as the original Lodi album. Let me know now so if you want the Chameleon album, I'll get it for you now. - Tony
	1:57am Marmalade Owl: Joe, sounds a good book, thanks
	1:57am Joe McG: Wow, Tony, that's so nice! I'm always hesitant to buy records over the Interweb since you can't tell about condition...
	1:59am (mta) Tony: This one is brand new. Do you want it or not? It's my gift IF you want it...
	2:00am Joe McG: Wow, thanks, Tony, you're the best!
	2:00am Adam in Portland: Apparently Clarence Clemons guested on Twisted Sister's "Be Chrool to Your Scuel." Supremely versatile. Haha.
	2:01am (mta) Tony: I just got it for you, buddy. It's brand new, and sealed in its original cellophane wrapping. I'll transfer it to CDR like a always do, including full artwork, my friend. It's my pleasure to do something for you.
	2:02am Matt from Springfield: @M Owl: The Castlemorton Common Festival in '92, that was the one I was looking for. The spontaneous gathering in the tens of thousands that sparked a new law banning parties with: "sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats"(!) Too bad there's no "open" raves to go to--prob would be safer that way.
	2:03am (mta) Tony: I meant, "like I always do..." - Tony
	2:04am Matt from Springfield: Always such a generous listener, MTA Tony! Haven't seen you in a while, glad you made it!
	2:06am Jonathan Skinner: it's ok, Joe. we will never recover from the 'seventies.
	2:06am Adam in Portland: Joe McG: scritchiness greatly appreciated.
	2:06am yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Earth): Had my breakfast , now on the bus with too many people , great show so far! Guys, this week is going to be great, I'm finishing the recording for my next album , gonna be so much fun!
	2:08am Adam in Portland: Congratulations, Yair!!! Maybe we'll get to hear bits of it on WFMU.
	2:09am Marmalade Kitty: @Matt; The 80's early 90's, serious government focus on clampdown, Blue Meanie style :(
	2:09am (mta) Tony: Thank you, Matt from Springfield. Ir's very kind of you to say something nice about me. I greatly appreciate your good vibes. Yes, since I'm not wealthy, I do what I can, within my means, to do nice things for my fmu brothers and sisters. It's really my pleasure. Happy Father's Day to you, Joe, and all listening fathers.
	2:11am yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Earth): Thanks Adam ;)
	2:13am Matt from Springfield: @(mta) Tony: My pleasure, don't mention it! In fact, I myself sent some CD-R copies of some CDs to DJ Julie here on Valentine's Day. First time sending my recs to a DJ, and I love it! Generosity makes the world a better place! :)
	2:13am Adam in Portland: Safe training, D. Blumin.
	2:14am Joe McG: Thanks again, Tony, for the wonderful gift. Happy Father's Day to you, too!
	2:15am D. Blumin: Many thanks, Adam! See yas, Joe! This'll send me off cryin... best way to go!
	2:15am Matt from Springfield: In fact, Julie told me that was the first "fan mail" and music anyone sent her, so please send her (and any other DJ!) stuff you were talking with them about! You're helping them, as well as the broader listening audience!
	2:18am Matt from Springfield: Oooh, Hank Sr.! And I never heard his regular "speaking" voice before now, so thanks Joe!
	2:24am (mta) Tony: You're welcome, Joe. As a child, receiving gifts was a lot of fun, but as an adult, giving, is far more satisfying. Matt: If you enjoyed that previous Hank Williams song, you should check out his, "I've Just Told Mama Goodbye," IF you haven't heard it yet. But of course, it's not a Father's Day song, it's a Mother's Day song. It's a real tear-jerker.
	2:26am Matt from Springfield: @(mta) Tony: I know that title, but haven't heard the song! Will listen ASAP! @Joe: Thanks for a tear-jerking Father's Day country set--takes away some of the pain of Betsy not being on for the summer!
	2:28am Matt from Springfield: "Where All Good Daddies Go"!! This is a SN classic! How appropos!
	2:29am Joe McG: @Matt: Yes, I feel that everyone should play more country to make it easier for all of the Betsy fans!
	2:33am (mta) Tony: Matt: thanks for noticing I've been lying low lately. I've been here listening, nevertheless. I just didn't want to be a nuisance like some folks became with too many posts that weren't really relevant. As soon as I hear a dj wants something, if I have it, I always offer a copy to them. If I don't, I look for it, and if I find it, I get it for them. It's the least I could do for my fellow dj's and listeners, plus, it's fun for me to give something back after so many years of listening (since Vin Scelsa's premier show in '67). Matt: you can hear it (the sad Hank Williams song) here on an fmu archive: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/32979
	2:37am Adam in Portland: I remember getting extra-excited about Dallas' game six win over Miami, knowing it would bring great joy to Miss Betsy Nichols. :-))
	2:37am Matt from Springfield: @Tony: Thank you much! I could've found it any number of places, but you just made it easy! Wow, listening since Vin Scelsa's days, you sure have "seen" the station through a lot, you give hope to us who still want to be listening to WFMU years later!
	2:39am Matt from Springfield: Mickey Newbury, I knew Joe had played a version of "She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye" before.
	2:40am Brian in UK: Mornin' Jor & folks. See you played The Idle Race, great Brit pop.
	2:41am Joe McG: Hey, Brian! Yes, my copy was a bit rough, but it's a great song.
	2:43am Matt from Springfield: @Brian: Morning Brian! The Idle Race played was amazing! Joe did not disappoint!
	2:44am Brian in UK: scritchy like it, thats a new word to me!!
	2:44am Adam in Portland: Enjoying the deeper exposure to Mickey Newbury. Thanks, Joe!
	2:46am (mta) Tony: Yes Matt; I've been listening since I was 14 in '67. I just happened to scan the radio dial when I caught Vin's voice and fell in love with him via the music he played. He played the entire album, "Rotary Connection" the day it was released to radio stations. It was my initiation to fmu. Check this out: about 15 years later, dj Stan got turned onto fmu by turning the radio dial and HE heard fmu play the same original Rotary Connection album, and was immediately made an fmu listener, too. In other words, we both got turned onto fmu with the exact same set of songs, the playing of the entire Rotary Connection album! How's THAT for a coincidence? It's practically unbelievable!
	2:47am Joe McG: @Tony: Wow, I want to play the whole Rotary Connection LP!
	2:48am Brian in UK: I recently bought Max Ochs CD on Tompkins Square. Similar vibe to Michael Chapmans.
	2:50am Joe McG: It's an excellent label...
	2:52am Matt from Springfield: @Tony: Amazing, though there's probably more shared experiences with WFMU than we may think. @Joe: Do it! That seems to be the best way of catching new listeners!
	2:55am Brian in UK: Do not know if you can watch this over your way but heres a link to a programme about festivals this way. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wmdqs
	2:56am Matt from Springfield: Yaaay! Clarence tribute!
	2:57am Joe McG: R.I.P., Big Man.
	3:00am Matt from Springfield: While Jeff Mullin is off for the summer, we can now listen to Mary Wing! I'll see some of you there! Good night Joe! Fabulous show as usual! Good night Tony, Adam, M Owl, Brian, Yair!

Listener comments!
	12:10am 12539: It begins again, the Force of Sleep vs the Force of Joe, and me in a drowsy funk.
	12:12am Joe McG: Hey, 12539! Am I a force for good or evil?
	12:13am Loving The Tunes So Far: Force majeure.
	12:14am Matt from Springfield: Hey Joe! Nice Fela and Afrika 70! So who do you think is better...Afrika 70, or Brasil 66!
	12:15am 12539: Joe, you are a force of life, or at least of wakefulness.
	12:17am Joe McG: @Matt: As long as it's not Heaven 17, I'm OK. (Just kidding, I've played them on this show.)
	12:20am Joe McG: @12539: Life! I'm glad I have something to do with it!
	12:23am 12539: I thought I was in a drowsy funk, but now I think it's a funky drowse.
	12:24am Joe McG: @12539: At least it's not a drunky frowse.
	12:25am Matt from Springfield: @12539: Fer sure! If you have to be in a drowse, make sure it's a funky drowse! You can also still be on the dance floor if you're in a disco drowse.
	12:29am Matt from Springfield: Seu Jorge! The Brazilian guitarist covering Bowie songs in Portuguese in "The Life Aquatic"! I have that CD, and love Seu's interpretation of any song.
	12:29am Marmalade Owl: Hey Joe, It's good to catch you live!
	12:31am Joe McG: @ Marmalade: Instead of...dead?
	12:33am Marmalade Owl: I've caught you alive! :)
	12:35am Matt from Springfield: "Suey"?????!!! What am I, chop suey?! I woulda guessed "Su Hor-hay". Soy George is a good one though, could even work as the name of a Latin American electronica DJ!
	12:39am Joe McG: Soy George works at the health food store, I think.
	12:40am slugluv1313: do you have "Proud to Call Him Dad" by The Reeves Brothers???
	12:40am Matt from Springfield: For those interested in learning more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fela_Kuti There's quite a long history about this musician, very interesting past!
	12:41am Joe McG: @slugluv: I can look for it...do you know if it was on a comp?
	12:42am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: And if the health food customer is also named George: "Yo soy George. And if you like, I get you some soy, George."
	12:45am Matt from Springfield: Loved the Soul Raga, and this one from S.D. Narang is amazing 70s Indian, like translated from American rock styles. You need to do a block dedicated to "Indian Style Heavy Funk"!
	12:46am Joe McG: @Not a bad idea, Matt!
	12:46am Matt from Springfield: Iron Butterfly! Was thinking the exact same thing during S.D. Narang!
	12:46am Joe McG: @@@@@:)
	12:49am #K: oh! hey! and, the incredible bongo band does one of my favorite versions of Apache.
	12:50am Joe McG: Hey, #K! That "Apache" superset is going to happen any day now!
	12:53am #K: well please let me know if you need any suggestions
	12:56am Matt from Springfield: Is this Nervebreakers "new, new" or a reissue? They really rock like the 70s in any case!
	12:57am Joe McG: @#K: Will do do do!
	12:58am Joe McG: @Matt: late 70s Texas, I'm pretty sure. Need your research help, Matt!
	1:00am slugluv1313: i just did a search -- cannot seem to find it ANYWHERE! and the song itself may be called "Dad" -- i have the cassette SOMEWHERE; i bought it from the restaurant that was run by the family called Paw Paw's Place in Elkton (i think) Maryland -- maybe 1992?
	1:01am 12539: (Tuvan Bryce?)
	1:02am Lurch: You rang?
	1:02am Joe McG: @12539: Good ears!
	1:03am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: "Crowdsourcing" on FMU playlists is the most effective way of researching anything! Hopefully someone can chime in on the Nervebreakers (or better still, one of the members of the Nervebreakers will leave a comment here tomorrow thanking you for playing their stuff!)
	1:03am steveroo: enjoying the show tonight while making my dad a cake for tomorrow. not once have i had a twitch debating to change the station.
	1:04am Matt from Springfield: Good ears indeed, spotting Bryce! Was that promo to promote a throat-singing guest, or just for S&Gs?
	1:04am Joe McG: Cool, Steveroo! What a nice thing to do!
	1:06am Joe McG: @slugluv: Wow, I may not be able to get that Reeves Bros. on! But I hope you dig what I do put on. @Matt: I just liked his station ID, so I recorded it surrepsuperstitiously.
	1:08am 12539: Nervebreakers: Texas, late 70's through 1980. How about trying... www.nervebreakers.com/history.htm ...too obvious?
	1:09am Joe McG: Ha ha..maybe I'm too lazy!
	1:09am Jonathan Skinner: yes, very nice show! working late -- it's a good, good vibe. thanks, Joe.
	1:10am steveroo: he may not think so. my dad is not a drinker but the black forrest cake calls for liquor. i mentioned it to him and he just mumbled make it how the recipe calls for. it'll be my first time having it not store bought from a grocery store. as long as i'm doing something productive; your show is better than SNL on a satuday night
	1:10am coffeesout: Omniverse
	1:11am Matt from Springfield: @12539: Obvious, perhaps, but it is an official history. Crowdsourcing on FMU works every time! Thanks!
	1:13am slugluv1313: no prob, Mr. McGasko! although if i ever find the cassette -- wil figure out a way to get a copy to you and WFMU -- turns out that the restaurant was called Pap Paw's Place and oh no! it appears that DAD has just recently passed! :( http://www.rtfoard.com/obits/obituaries.asp?listing_id=171425
	1:20am Joe McG: @slugluv: Oh, no! Poor dad! I wish I could play it in his memory.
	1:27am chris: excellent show tonight. so many great songs
	1:27am Joe McG: Thanks, Chris!
	1:27am Marmalade Owl: The battle of the beanfields 1985 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JCkUZAwvEA
	1:28am slugluv1313: THANK YOU, Mr. McGasko! i know what you mean! only about a month ago . . .
	1:31am Adam in Portland: R.I.P. Clarence Clemons.
	1:32am Marmalade Owl: -The battle of beanfield 1985 unedited unseen ITN news footage of police assaulting summer solstice alternative festival and travellers
	1:34am Adam in Portland: Sorry to be a downer, but so fitting to mention on WFMU.
	1:35am Joe McG: @Not at all, Adam. @MOwl: Is it Glastonbury time over there?
	1:35am Adam in Portland: I just thought it'd be great to hear him blow soon in remembrance of his myriad contributions to Jersey rock.
	1:35am Matt from Springfield: @Adam: Yes, I saw that earlier on a news site and on Daniel B's playlist. But he lives on in another era, ruling the world in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure's future! :)
	1:36am Adam in Portland: Matt: you are so, so correct, Sir. :-)
	1:37am yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Earth): Goood morning everyone
	1:38am Adam in Portland: Hey, Yair!!!
	1:41am Matt from Springfield: @M Owl: I've heard of various confrontations between police and travellers (New Age and Irish) in the 90s, plus stories of how they banned Rave parties; never saw that footage before.
	1:41am Joe McG: Hey, Yair Yona!
	1:41am Matt from Springfield: Good morning Yair! How's it going in Tel Aviv? Eating breakfast now?
	1:42am fleep: Either Wilson Pickett is warped, or I am. Maybe both. Evening/morning everyone, Joe
	1:43am Adam in Portland: Heya, Fleep! I felt a bit woozy myself.
	1:43am Matt from Springfield: @fleep: Seemed OK to me, so judging by Joe's comment I must also be "pressed slightly off-center" tonight!
	1:44am Matt from Springfield: Doris Troy = "Just One Look" back in '63. Thought that name was familiar, I have that one!
	1:46am Marmalade Owl: Yes glastonbury starts next wednesday, 22nd-26th june. but a stone throw from Glastonbury is Stone Henge, which also currently has solstice festival (which was banned for 15 years following the gov/ Police shutting down and creating new prohibitive laws etc..)
	1:48am Joe McG: I was just reading about the solstice festivals in that book "Electric Eden."
	1:56am (mta) Tony: Hi Joe, did I hear you say you wanted to have the album, "Chameleon" by Frankie Valli on MoWest? It's available on Amazon for 5 bucks. If you want it, let me know now and I'll pick it up for you and transfer it to CDR for you, too, with full artwork. Or, perhaps I misunderstood you and you said you wanted a different thing, such as the original Lodi album. Let me know now so if you want the Chameleon album, I'll get it for you now. - Tony
	1:57am Marmalade Owl: Joe, sounds a good book, thanks
	1:57am Joe McG: Wow, Tony, that's so nice! I'm always hesitant to buy records over the Interweb since you can't tell about condition...
	1:59am (mta) Tony: This one is brand new. Do you want it or not? It's my gift IF you want it...
	2:00am Joe McG: Wow, thanks, Tony, you're the best!
	2:00am Adam in Portland: Apparently Clarence Clemons guested on Twisted Sister's "Be Chrool to Your Scuel." Supremely versatile. Haha.
	2:01am (mta) Tony: I just got it for you, buddy. It's brand new, and sealed in its original cellophane wrapping. I'll transfer it to CDR like a always do, including full artwork, my friend. It's my pleasure to do something for you.
	2:02am Matt from Springfield: @M Owl: The Castlemorton Common Festival in '92, that was the one I was looking for. The spontaneous gathering in the tens of thousands that sparked a new law banning parties with: "sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats"(!) Too bad there's no "open" raves to go to--prob would be safer that way.
	2:03am (mta) Tony: I meant, "like I always do..." - Tony
	2:04am Matt from Springfield: Always such a generous listener, MTA Tony! Haven't seen you in a while, glad you made it!
	2:06am Jonathan Skinner: it's ok, Joe. we will never recover from the 'seventies.
	2:06am Adam in Portland: Joe McG: scritchiness greatly appreciated.
	2:06am yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Earth): Had my breakfast , now on the bus with too many people , great show so far! Guys, this week is going to be great, I'm finishing the recording for my next album , gonna be so much fun!
	2:08am Adam in Portland: Congratulations, Yair!!! Maybe we'll get to hear bits of it on WFMU.
	2:09am Marmalade Kitty: @Matt; The 80's early 90's, serious government focus on clampdown, Blue Meanie style :(
	2:09am (mta) Tony: Thank you, Matt from Springfield. Ir's very kind of you to say something nice about me. I greatly appreciate your good vibes. Yes, since I'm not wealthy, I do what I can, within my means, to do nice things for my fmu brothers and sisters. It's really my pleasure. Happy Father's Day to you, Joe, and all listening fathers.
	2:11am yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Earth): Thanks Adam ;)
	2:13am Matt from Springfield: @(mta) Tony: My pleasure, don't mention it! In fact, I myself sent some CD-R copies of some CDs to DJ Julie here on Valentine's Day. First time sending my recs to a DJ, and I love it! Generosity makes the world a better place! :)
	2:13am Adam in Portland: Safe training, D. Blumin.
	2:14am Joe McG: Thanks again, Tony, for the wonderful gift. Happy Father's Day to you, too!
	2:15am D. Blumin: Many thanks, Adam! See yas, Joe! This'll send me off cryin... best way to go!
	2:15am Matt from Springfield: In fact, Julie told me that was the first "fan mail" and music anyone sent her, so please send her (and any other DJ!) stuff you were talking with them about! You're helping them, as well as the broader listening audience!
	2:18am Matt from Springfield: Oooh, Hank Sr.! And I never heard his regular "speaking" voice before now, so thanks Joe!
	2:24am (mta) Tony: You're welcome, Joe. As a child, receiving gifts was a lot of fun, but as an adult, giving, is far more satisfying. Matt: If you enjoyed that previous Hank Williams song, you should check out his, "I've Just Told Mama Goodbye," IF you haven't heard it yet. But of course, it's not a Father's Day song, it's a Mother's Day song. It's a real tear-jerker.
	2:26am Matt from Springfield: @(mta) Tony: I know that title, but haven't heard the song! Will listen ASAP! @Joe: Thanks for a tear-jerking Father's Day country set--takes away some of the pain of Betsy not being on for the summer!
	2:28am Matt from Springfield: "Where All Good Daddies Go"!! This is a SN classic! How appropos!
	2:29am Joe McG: @Matt: Yes, I feel that everyone should play more country to make it easier for all of the Betsy fans!
	2:33am (mta) Tony: Matt: thanks for noticing I've been lying low lately. I've been here listening, nevertheless. I just didn't want to be a nuisance like some folks became with too many posts that weren't really relevant. As soon as I hear a dj wants something, if I have it, I always offer a copy to them. If I don't, I look for it, and if I find it, I get it for them. It's the least I could do for my fellow dj's and listeners, plus, it's fun for me to give something back after so many years of listening (since Vin Scelsa's premier show in '67). Matt: you can hear it (the sad Hank Williams song) here on an fmu archive: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/32979
	2:37am Adam in Portland: I remember getting extra-excited about Dallas' game six win over Miami, knowing it would bring great joy to Miss Betsy Nichols. :-))
	2:37am Matt from Springfield: @Tony: Thank you much! I could've found it any number of places, but you just made it easy! Wow, listening since Vin Scelsa's days, you sure have "seen" the station through a lot, you give hope to us who still want to be listening to WFMU years later!
	2:39am Matt from Springfield: Mickey Newbury, I knew Joe had played a version of "She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye" before.
	2:40am Brian in UK: Mornin' Jor & folks. See you played The Idle Race, great Brit pop.
	2:41am Joe McG: Hey, Brian! Yes, my copy was a bit rough, but it's a great song.
	2:43am Matt from Springfield: @Brian: Morning Brian! The Idle Race played was amazing! Joe did not disappoint!
	2:44am Brian in UK: scritchy like it, thats a new word to me!!
	2:44am Adam in Portland: Enjoying the deeper exposure to Mickey Newbury. Thanks, Joe!
	2:46am (mta) Tony: Yes Matt; I've been listening since I was 14 in '67. I just happened to scan the radio dial when I caught Vin's voice and fell in love with him via the music he played. He played the entire album, "Rotary Connection" the day it was released to radio stations. It was my initiation to fmu. Check this out: about 15 years later, dj Stan got turned onto fmu by turning the radio dial and HE heard fmu play the same original Rotary Connection album, and was immediately made an fmu listener, too. In other words, we both got turned onto fmu with the exact same set of songs, the playing of the entire Rotary Connection album! How's THAT for a coincidence? It's practically unbelievable!
	2:47am Joe McG: @Tony: Wow, I want to play the whole Rotary Connection LP!
	2:48am Brian in UK: I recently bought Max Ochs CD on Tompkins Square. Similar vibe to Michael Chapmans.
	2:50am Joe McG: It's an excellent label...
	2:52am Matt from Springfield: @Tony: Amazing, though there's probably more shared experiences with WFMU than we may think. @Joe: Do it! That seems to be the best way of catching new listeners!
	2:55am Brian in UK: Do not know if you can watch this over your way but heres a link to a programme about festivals this way. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wmdqs
	2:56am Matt from Springfield: Yaaay! Clarence tribute!
	2:57am Joe McG: R.I.P., Big Man.
	3:00am Matt from Springfield: While Jeff Mullin is off for the summer, we can now listen to Mary Wing! I'll see some of you there! Good night Joe! Fabulous show as usual! Good night Tony, Adam, M Owl, Brian, Yair!
