WFMU: Are We There Yet? with Tamar: Playlist from September 30, 2011

Listener comments!
	9:04pm 12539: The longsuffering Tamar herself! Will it be "pop" this evening?
	9:05pm Tamar: So far, so pop, no?
	9:06pm Elwyn: This song may be the greatest oddity i have ever heard even on WFMU.
	9:06pm 12539: Indeed.
	9:07pm Elwyn: Does anyone else remember those awesome scifi ship books of the 70s and 80s? The cover reminds me of those: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling_Occupants_of_Interplanetary_Craft
	9:19pm tomB: Tamar puts the power back into power pop!
	9:28pm Ike: Really enjoying this first set. Rock on.
	9:40pm Bill W: Revenge of the Athenians.
	9:41pm Nordstrom: I love this tune. The break betrays their love of the minutemen.
	10:19pm some other guy: I see, it's my least favorite song that sounds just like this, followed by my favorite song that sounds just like this, followed by the same song. I guess I'm pretty into that. Can I request a thing?
	10:21pm some other guy: or just try to play sloopy until 11, that would be amazing.
	10:23pm PB: Play the original, it's the best version (by far).Who did the original, the McCoys?
	10:24pm Rob from Maryland: Yummy Yummy Yummy ... in French! Wow. I wish I still had my Ohio Express album.
	10:24pm Rob from Maryland: PB, yes, I believe it is The McCoys.
	10:25pm Rob from Maryland: Psyched me out, I forgot how much this Cars song opens like the Ohio Express!
	10:25pm Tamar: I did think about an hour of Sloopy, but I am mystified by its popularity. Yes, McCoys original, or at least the original hit.
	10:26pm molerat: Clever set. Me like.
	10:27pm Rob from Maryland: One more comment, if only I'd been listening a few minutes earlier, I would have heard the Supremes doing Sloopy. I would have loved to hear that.
	10:34pm glenn: hang on sloopy is the mccoys, and i believe rick derringer is the mastermind behind it.
	10:34pm PB: You could probably do a whole week's worth of covers of the Beatles' Yesterday. That would be a fate worse than death.
	10:36pm G: Let's pretend we did it yesterday and leave it at that! :-)
	10:36pm some other guy: Is it weird that this era of Madonna just makes me want Chin Chin?
	10:37pm PB: @glenn, AMG says Derringer played lead guitar and sang on Hang on Sloopy.
	10:38pm Purepopfornowpeople: I own over two dozen covers of Ca Plane Pour Moi. Just sayin'
	10:40pm Tamar: I didn't even know there were 12 covers of Ca Plane Pour Moi!
	10:40pm glenn: i have seen richard thompson on more than one occasion perform ca plane pour moi as an encore.
	10:40pm PB: Tamar, my recollection is that it was a very, very cynical attempt by Klaatu's record company to spur interest in the band.
	10:41pm PB: Didn't work too well, did it?
	10:44pm glenn: one of the guys from klaatu owns a very successful roofing company in toronto, and the guy who wrote calling occupants (john woloschuk) was my bookkeeper.
	10:44pm Record Company Accountant: It was not such a bad tax writeoff.
	10:51pm Rob from Maryland: From the wikipedia page about the song "Hang On Sloopy": "It was written by Wes Farrell and Bert Russell and is named for singer Dorothy Sloop, who used the name "Sloopy" on stage."
	10:51pm Slazenger: Your doin a great job I liked the cars song
	10:52pm PB: Am I losing my mind or have we already heard this set tonight? I think you are having some technical problems.
	10:53pm Slazenger: That Wallgreens 'll do it every time
	10:53pm Tamar: What are you hearing?
	10:54pm PB: I heard the first 3 tracks from the second set for a second time. Maybe it's just my computer, I don't know.
	10:56pm Tamar: Weirdness! It's the interplanetary craft intrusion, perhaps. Anyone else hearing loops of the show?
	10:57pm axlotl: Loved the Cars transition. re: ruby right, that's why I never take my girlfriend to Wallgreens.
	10:57pm some other guy: Why did she go to Sears? 2nd job? My heart was broken at K-mart once, but I didn't go to Montgomery Ward afterward.
	11:02pm PB: Sorry about that, I guess it was just my computer.
	11:09pm tomB: A great tribute from Syd to Amy Rigby with a secondary tribute to Roger McGuinn's Chestnut Mare narration? And is that RT or a tribute to RT?
	11:09pm Betsy p: You absolutely made my WEEK! I loved the set, they are my old 45s (my age), But DAVID CANARY!!!!! u have no idea how heartBroken I am this week, but u just made it better
	11:11pm Slazenger: love this version!besame!
	11:18pm tomB: I've been trying to buy this Petra Hayden CD for ten years. Where is it?
	11:19pm Slazenger: Waaa waaa waa waaaa
	11:19pm Slazenger: CONEY!!!!!!
	11:19pm Slazenger: In four part harmony!
	11:20pm 12539: @tomB, Amazon has it, so it shouldn't be hard to find.
	11:22pm Slazenger: Very strange. I hear Michael Jackson in the foreground.
	11:23pm Slazenger: Furnish shit?
	11:26pm FWIW: One member of the Hillside Singers later created the "Music of Your Life" radio format
	11:26pm Slazenger: I hate that temple block. It trivializes the song.
	11:32pm tomB: @12539 well I may have to break down &make my 1st order from Amz. Or, I can hold out till FMU's record fair!
	11:35pm 12539: @tomB, well, you could order it directly from http://www.bar-none.com/store.php if you feel better about that. Petra's own site links to Amazon. But the point is, it's not out of print.
	11:36pm Parq: Just getting on the puter, but have been lucky enough to catch most of the show. Just tremendous; thanks for all the great little surprises.
	11:43pm Little Fyodor: That Coke song actually was a commercial first and then they took out the Coke part to release it commercially. Heh.
	11:50pm FWIW: @Little Fyodor: Yeah, and the Coke song was originally written by the ad agency for the New Seekers, who said they didn't have time to do it. But after a cobbled-together Hillside Singers had such success with the Coke song in the US, the New Seekers ended up doing a hit 45 in the UK, that also charted well back in the US. I recall both versions because I moved from the US to the UK in 1971, right between the American hit and the British one...
	11:50pm david: This Girl's In Love With You, that's the name of this song. What a great rendition.
	11:55pm 12539: Good show, Tamar. And watch out for that Inflated Squirrel guy - he always gives Pseu a hard time at the transitional moment.
	11:56pm FWIW: Who gives who a hard time in those transitions?
	11:57pm 12539: (@FWIW: irony)
	11:57pm FWIW: (@12539: litotes)
	12:02am EzSezz: Please stop all that @shit. Nice nice show Tamar. Pop rules, OK.
	12:03am Listener John: I really loved the music you played tonight! Thank you, Tamar.
	12:03am FWIW: It's the Bickersons
	12:06am PiLA: it's ok, I hate my wife too
	12:06am some other guy: @pulp, seriously, why didn't you bookend the album with "disco 2000" and "common people"? I mean, two songs, two themes, same attitude, same tune pretty much, same exact vocal effort and pattern... right?
	12:07am FWIW: it's put on, they're having fun. is that clear without any @ ?
	12:08am @: @@@;-)=8<>==\|
	12:09am EzSezz: Murphy's oil soap
	12:09am FWIW: don't go @ shit on us
	12:34am david: thank you ISC you just snapped me out of a twitter haze.
