	12:15am Destroit: Hello Joe, and all listeners. Quiet night. Let's make noise.,,70's soul drip, as I'm typin, let's move.
	12:18am Joe McG: Hey, cheri, hey, Destroit! Some noise tonight, some reflective, we'll see what happens....HOW you all doin'?
	12:21am miss cheri: joe could you play some barry white? i think that's sweet & romantic,,right?
	12:23am Holly in NC: Archie Shepp sax
	12:23am Joe McG: Sorry, cheri, we're up in the small studio now and the record library is not accessible, so I won't be playing requests.
	12:25am G: Do people know the 1982 Material track was one of Whitney H's first recordings as a lead singer?
	12:26am Joe McG: Now they do! Thanks, G.
	12:29am G: I often look up artists I don't know on playlists while the song's playing. Material started as a would-be progrock project and evolved into urban music in the early 80s. I was surprised to see Whitney H's name as lead singer on one of the tracks. Yep, sounded like here alright, duh!
	12:30am Destroit: Keep moving Joe. A gigantic hello to Holly. Touching down on Raleigh on feb 28th,
	12:31am T-Zero: Thanks for that info G. Was in another room and that Whitney was being played, so had to look at the playlist.
	12:32am D. Blumin: Yup, I'm down here in the library - untangling all the chairs down here...
	12:36am Destroit: Blumin is a weirdo, love em.
	12:36am Holly in NC: Hey Destroit!!! Gigantic hello, we shall have to plan an amazing welcome. Right now it's horrid here, 25 degrees F and gusty as hell. @Joe - I may be the only person in the world who doesn't like the Supremes, period. And it's totally Diana's fault.
	12:38am T-Zero: Heh, I'd take that temp, Holly, it's only 2 here.
	12:38am Holly in NC: Cissy's daughter, Dionne Warwick's cousin, Aretha's goddaughter. Royalty.
	12:39am Holly in NC: @T-Zero - Where are you?
	12:43am T-Zero: Columbus OH.
	12:44am Destroit: Care less about the temperature, want to feel the people and the food. Holly, tell me what's up!
	12:44am miss cheri: i hate to trouble you joe,,but during your next mic break could you please give me a little shout out,,thank you joe..
	12:48am Joe McG: @Holly: Thanks for the correction! I always get that wrong. As for the Supremes, I don't hate Diana or anything, I just seem to play the post-DR albums more often.
	12:50am Destroit: Move it. Grinding, crunchy,
	12:55am Holly in NC: @T-Zero - every Ohio ex-pat I've ever met has been slightly insane. And we immediately become great friends ;-) @Destroit - Lots up! After Joe's show, leave a comment at http://hollisterbanister.blogspot.com & I'll send you my e-mail so we don't clog Joe's board! Probably not 'til tomorrow, I'm already wildly multitasking
	12:57am miss cheri: i'm loving your show so far joe,,i guess you don't do shout outs either,,
	12:57am T-Zero: @Holly. Not a native buckeye, but still crazy ;)
	12:57am Holly in NC: This Conway song is awesome
	1:00am Destroit: Got ya Holly,
	1:03am Holly in NC: I have never heard this Loraxy Roy Clark song before, I LOVE it!
	1:05am Destroit: Old dog blue is great.
	1:08am Holly in NC: Irony here - part of my multitasking is baitng a havaheart trap to capture the critters (likely possums) who kept 2 people & 3 cats up ALL NIGHT with their antics in our ctawlspace. Somehow Joe is channeling my life, scary.
	1:09am Joe McG: Yes, I've gone on a critter binge for some reason!
	1:12am Holly in NC: Please tell me this song isn't going to make me cry
	1:12am Possums: It's freakin COLD OUT
	1:13am Joe McG: @Holly: Oops, I was going to pull some Red Sovine and totally forgot! Oh well...
	1:13am miss cheri: i got head out now joe,, ty for your company,, if you can i'll be listening to your shout out,, g'night joe
	1:14am Matt from Springfield: Me & Son! Hey Joe, hey everyone!
	1:14am miss cheri: ohhh and have a happy valentines day joe,,,
	1:15am david: hi Joe and all.
	1:16am steve: how bout some love for them kitties
	1:17am Matt from Springfield: Good Joe, I wouldn't rename a dog that is already past the puppy stage. @steve: If, and only if! Marmalade Kitty comes around! :)
	1:19am erella in toronto: Joe, is it possible the previous owners of your dog were fans of this show? The german shepherd was called Hobo I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=banXT6azA-4
	1:20am Holly in NC: @Possums, yes, and if you'd please curl up into tight heat saving fuzzy balls and go to friggin' sleep we won't have any problems. BTW, dinner is served - peanut butter, canteloupe, & sardines, go wild. And then to sleep.
	1:20am Matt from Springfield: SSS Records! Sorry I missed that one--love that country label, will def check out the Archive!
	1:21am Possums: We're looking for a warmer spot, and ALL FREAKIN NIGHT we can't find a good one. Dommage. We'd take the spare bed.
	1:22am erella in toronto: Oops. I think the dog's name is London not Hobo. It is possible your dog's previous family liked that show.
	1:22am Matt from Springfield: Yeaaaaa Joe!!! (I thought when I first heard this title track, that Mike McKean used this as one of his influences for his Spinal Tap "David St. Hubbins" vocal! :)
	1:22am Destroit: I'm invading your house on the 28th, sardines,PB,lemon, cilantro electric. :)
	1:24am Joe McG: @erella: I don't know, maybe! We loved the guy no matter what he was called.
	1:24am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: Such an assortment of foods reminds me of what my Dad told me he and his brothers used to eat: peanut butter, lettuce and mayo sandwiches! (At least he claims they used to eat those!)
	1:24am Holly in NC: Oh my gosh! Tears For Fears 'Mad World" totally bit this Cat Stevens song - did anyone else hear that?
	1:24am Joe McG: Hey, Matt! Never thought about the Cat Stevens-Spinal Tap connection. Further investigation!
	1:25am erella in toronto: If you're still doing songs about dogs, what about Nilsson's Me and My Arrow? Black Eyed Dog - Nick Drake, Shake Dog Shake - The Cure
	1:26am Destroit: I'm down with nick drake, jus' sayin
	1:26am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Listen to the Flower People, baby!! Of course there's the Youngbloods, the Lemon Pipers and other psych-pop influences, but the stilted delivery of David reminds me of the early Cat Stevens.
	1:27am david: go Yusuf! gotta check out those early records.
	1:27am Matt from Springfield: @Destroit: And WHY would anyone not be down with Nick Drake??? ;)
	1:28am Joe McG: @erella: Ooh, "Black Eyed Dog" can't just be played with dog songs. That song's too intense, makes my hair stand up!
	1:29am Joe McG: @david: I really recommend "Matthew & Son" and "New Masters." The UK reissues from 2003 also have a whole bunch of nice bonus tracks. I'm also partial to the soundtrack to "Howard and Maude"!
	1:29am Destroit: Ya know Matt, some people just suck. :)
	1:30am miss cheri: joe i hope you have a wonderful valentines day,, and no shout outs either? night for real.
	1:30am Matt from Springfield: First saw Harold and Maude last year. Love the soundtrack, and the movie! I rec to any FMU fan! @Destroit: Yeah, true, let's just ignore those people! :)
	1:31am Holly in NC: No spare beds at the inn, possums, sorry. Be grateful for your dinner! Best peanut butter sandwich = seedless rye toast, pb, and sliced cornichons. No lie. Don't knock it 'til you try it!
	1:32am Matt from Springfield: @Destroit: "...cause while the sinners sin, the children play"
	1:32am david: Thanks Joe. From what I've heard of Matthew & Son it seems on par with the Bee Gee's "1st" album
	1:33am Matt from Springfield: Re: M. Dolor: He's Mr. DYINGLY Sad!!! :D
	1:36am Matt from Springfield: Oh Lawdy, novelty song integrating all aspects of "chicken hawk" into it! @Holly: Sounds interesting--do you mean cornichons like cucumbers, or pickles?
	1:36am Joe McG: @Matt: ha ha! @david: Good comparison, both are in the vein.
	1:39am Joe McG: If anybody can tell me where "Slauson Shuffle" comes from, I'd be much obliged.
	1:42am david: Snuffleupagus should do his own version of "do the slauson shuffle"
	1:46am Joe McG: Snuffalslauson Snuffle.
	1:46am erella in toronto: Harold and Maude is a fabulous movie. One of my all time favourites.
	1:46am Holly in NC: @Matt - the wee pickled cucumbers found either in pricey French jars or somewhat less pricey in bulk in deli areas with a certain level of aspiration -down here readily available at Whole Foods, Harris Teeter & the better Krogers. NOT sweet gherkins!!! Or dills or 1/2 sours.
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: NEVER sweet gherkins! I don't even know why they have those!! ;) I'll look for those next time I'm at Whole Foods.
	1:48am erella in toronto: Hey now that Whitney Houston has died, would you play her first recorded bit on a Material album? It is a Hugh Hopper song with Archie Shepp playing sax. Robert Wyatt later recorded a version of the same song http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X_rId-X64hg
	1:49am Joe McG: @erella: Uh...I played it in the first set!
	1:49am Matt from Springfield: YESSSS!! Non-famous Big Country!!! Thank you Joe!!
	1:50am david: lol. k&k reminded me of french fries and The Fonz. miss those days.
	1:50am Matt from Springfield: Love Big Country, I wish there was more "80s Celtic" genre music out there--even 70s Celtic music, like the Horslips will do...
	1:50am Joe McG: Almost forgot about those bagpipe guitars, didn't you? :)
	1:51am Holly in NC: Joe, I have been searching high & low for the Cowsills "Covered Wagon" since you played it 2 (?) weeks ago, and I've been totally thwarted. Never comped & noone's, er, sharing. >:-(
	1:52am Destroit: You have to find mclures pickles, and you will, 28th, quality food.
	1:52am Matt from Springfield: I wasn't around at the time of Big Country, but they've always been a retro fav of mine! And yes, with only one song in my playlist they can sometimes be neglected!
	1:52am david: holy bagpipe guitars
	1:53am Joe McG: @Holly: I'm pretty sure that a label in the UK recently released the last Cowsills LP "On My Side" on CD and I think it's a bonus track on there. Actually, I haven't checked, so maybe I'm totally wrong! But it may be worth trying.
	1:56am Matt from Springfield: "The Ladies' Man, Joe McGasko, is reminding you all about Valentine's Day. Do YOU have a Valentine Love for this Tuesday? Here's our smooooth friend Norman Connors (and a LADY) to remind you..."
	1:57am Joe McG: smooooooooooove.....
	1:59am Matt from Springfield: Nice cover of "My Funny Valentine" by Elvis Costello. I just found out this is a Rodgers & Hart song.
	2:00am T-Zero: I love this song (Funny Valentine) but can never hear it without thinking of Nico and the Factions version.
	2:03am david: the delay on danny doyle's vocals was cool
	2:07am Holly in NC: No more bagpipe guitars, bur how about bagpipe sax? http://a45blog.blogspot.com/2012/02/bag-pipe-stroll.html Very cool little instro
	2:08am Matt from Springfield: But WHY do you move into the smaller Studio B during Marathons? Is it because that's where the 800 number line is located? (I thought someone mentioned that).
	2:10am erella in toronto: Wow, I wasn't listening then! Great to see it. That will teach me to miss part of the show!
	2:11am Matt from Springfield: Ah, physical location convenience. Thanks Joe! And thanks volunteers! I DO like personally calling you during my fav shows, so get ready!! :)
	2:15am Holly in NC: YES!!!!!!!!!!
	2:15am Joe McG: @Holly: I wish I had a Rufus Harley 45! @Matt: No problem explaining that stuff, I'm sure it seems like a mystery to a lot of listeners.
	2:18am Taylor: Ooh...tell me you brought some Devil's Anvil for this set.
	2:18am rada: This song is causing my pet snake to stir.
	2:19am T-Zero: @Joe McG: That song by Esmeray, did the Italian group Fun Fun also do it on the album Double Fun? I know I have it somewhere in Italian but can't remember on what album. (I can't play my vinyl to check as no turntable at present.)
	2:21am T-Zero: @Joe McG: I've been trying to figure out what the English version is...
	2:21am Joe McG: @Taylor: I wish I had! I know it just got reissued. Damn! @T-Zero: I don't know, but I want to find out. It does sound familiar to me.... @rada: !
	2:22am Matt from Springfield: Turkish Delights! (Although we play classic Turkish rock so much on this station that's probably a cliche title!)
	2:23am Brian en Angleterre: Bonjour Joe and everyone. Matthew & Son first album I bought with my own money from paper round in MONO. Still sounds good.
	2:23am Kenzo: Man, I missed Fields of Fire....haven't heard that song in decades. I think I have the music video recorded from TV on a VHS tape in a box...
	2:23am Matt from Springfield: Joe, another thing: I didn't see the Premium Warehouse on this year's premiums page; are you still giving away a Warehouse item with a Mouse pledge?
	2:23am Joe McG: Hey, Brian! Love that story. My first album with my own money was the Tubes' second album. For a quarter!
	2:24am Joe McG: Hey, Kenzo! Want to field the Prize Warehouse question? :)
	2:24am rada: a most brilliant set thus far Joe. Kudos!
	2:26am Kenzo: http://wfmu.org/warehouse $30.42/month and up!
	2:26am Joe McG: Thanks, rada! I'll send it downhill any song now!
	2:26am Brian en Angleterre: Black Dog off Jesse Winchester's first is good & dark. 'Black dog don't believe in sin. Think of where the black dogs been'
	2:27am Joe McG: Ooh, love that album, Brian. I'm bringing some Jesse next week, that's it!
	2:27am Joe McG: Thanks, Kenzo! Hey, Matt, check out Kenzo's helpful link!
	2:28am Matt from Springfield: Thanks Kenzo, that answers it!
	2:32am Matt from Springfield: I so LOVE the premiums offered every year, really gotta hand it to all the DJs...I have two "free" slots with my pledge after everything else I must have (including Muddy Water!), and there are TWELVE premiums competing for those two spaces! :)
	2:33am Matt from Springfield: I enjoyed Bob Brainen's Psychedelic Psellouts 2, I want to get Vol 1 from the Warehouse.
	2:35am Brian en Angleterre: Matt stop teasing yourself. This is the clear light of morning speaking!!
	2:38am Matt from Springfield: Brian! It's finally snowing a bit here, with fierce winds! How's the clear light of morning look in Angleterre?
	2:39am Joe McG: @Matt: Thanks, Matt. I think you'll enjoy my premium this year!
	2:40am king penguin: Old Blue! I'll have to get to this one.
	2:41am Holly in NC: @T-Zero - Italian, but not Fun Fun ! Delirium - song is Jesahel !!
	2:41am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: I'm certain I will! (Especially certain if the "Jilted" song you've been playing is on it! I think it sounds awesome in any case!)
	2:43am Kenzo: Townshend's synth sounds always get me
	2:44am T-Zero: @ Holly: Jesahel! Thank you! I have it by Ciao Fellini on the '80 Mi Da'Tanto album and as Jezahel by Shirley Bassey. I KNEW I had it somewhere both in Italian and English but couldn't remember the English song title. I could kiss you. That's been bugging me for days since I heard this played earlier on FMU (forget now what show).
	2:44am Brian en Angleterre: Matt. Bluddy cold, hitting minus 16 in some parts which is good going for us. Joe After buying Harry Smith's anthology I found the original Good Dog Blue having listening to The Byrds for years. It was an eyeopener.
	2:46am king penguin: The possum growled, Blue whined at him.
	2:47am Joe McG: I'm so happy for you, T-Zero! It's so crazy-making to be unable to remember a tune.
	2:47am some other guy: ahhhh I don't really like that townshend song or this boris song, but that's some good dj'n right there.
	2:48am Joe McG: Thanks, sog. I hit it once in a while!
	2:49am T-Zero: @Joe McG: I'm just glad I recently cataloged my music collection so once I knew the title I could search for what albums. lol Thank god for FMU listeners!
	2:49am king penguin: The "Clarence White Byrds" did three dog songs. Blue, Fido, Bugler. Gene Parsons (not Gram) would later do Bugler as a tribute to Clarence.
	2:50am Matt from Springfield: @TZ: That's right, you were the listener doing the massive music databasing project!
	2:51am Joe McG: @king penguin: I love Bugler. What album is the Fido song on?
	2:51am Brian en Angleterre: Ahh Clarence. Bugler bugler bless your mind jesus gonna take for a chariot ride (from memeory) Ballad of Easy Rider.
	2:52am T-Zero: @Matt: Yeah, now I'm trying to finish up my book library I started years ago and never finished.
	2:53am Brian en Angleterre: Neil Jung's King on Harvest Moon is poor in comparison
	2:54am Joe McG: I sense a complete dog show in the future!
	2:55am king penguin: Say goodbye Sugar, say goodbye.
	2:55am Lassie: Arf Arf
	2:56am T-Zero: @Holly: Seriously! You have no idea how much I appreciated that info. :)
	2:56am king penguin: That''s ruff!
	2:56am Matt from Springfield: @TZ: BOOK library?? Good luck, if yours is anything like mine! ;)
	2:56am Joe McG: Goodnight, everybody! Thanks for listening, and have a great week! And VD, if you're into that sort of thing!
	2:57am Brian en Angleterre: kp Might have to go play them today. Where are they Lassie in that mine shaft?
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: Goodbye Joe! :) And goodnight, everybody! I vote in favor of a dog-theme show, or at least block!
	2:58am T-Zero: Thanks, JoeMcG. Wonderful evening of music! Have a great week.
	2:58am Holly in NC: Joe - Thank you for a particulatly great show! @T-Zero - I just found a whole bunch of Jesahel versions, will update next week. BYW, my book database is still on big floppy floppies somewhere...unfinished..
	2:58am king penguin: Fido is o Ballad of Easy Rider. It's only Byrds song John York sang lead on.
	3:00am Kenzo: My 80's floppy disk video game library database is on paper.
	3:01am T-Zero: @Matt & Holly: Most of my book library was stolen when it was in storage during a move... so that project is now much simpler.
	12:07pm Marmalade Kitty: Enjoyed the show, Joe! Thanks. listening later..
	11:18pm 12539: If you're still puzzled about the Slauson Shuffle, it's named after a street in LA. Source: http://tinyurl.com/6orwo92 Original Do the Slauson record: http://tinyurl.com/7treekd It's strange but pleasant to listen to your show while fully awake (due to the hour, not the content).
	10:16am Joe McG: Hey, 12539, thanks for the info about the Slauson. East coast boy, only been to L.A. a couple of times. Apparently I need to dance the Slauson next time I'm there!

	12:14am miss cheri: hiya joe,,happy early valentines day,,long time no see. maybe you could play someting sweet & romantic for me,,please?
	12:15am Destroit: Hello Joe, and all listeners. Quiet night. Let's make noise.,,70's soul drip, as I'm typin, let's move.
	12:18am Joe McG: Hey, cheri, hey, Destroit! Some noise tonight, some reflective, we'll see what happens....HOW you all doin'?
	12:21am miss cheri: joe could you play some barry white? i think that's sweet & romantic,,right?
	12:23am Holly in NC: Archie Shepp sax
	12:23am Joe McG: Sorry, cheri, we're up in the small studio now and the record library is not accessible, so I won't be playing requests.
	12:25am G: Do people know the 1982 Material track was one of Whitney H's first recordings as a lead singer?
	12:26am Joe McG: Now they do! Thanks, G.
	12:29am G: I often look up artists I don't know on playlists while the song's playing. Material started as a would-be progrock project and evolved into urban music in the early 80s. I was surprised to see Whitney H's name as lead singer on one of the tracks. Yep, sounded like here alright, duh!
	12:30am Destroit: Keep moving Joe. A gigantic hello to Holly. Touching down on Raleigh on feb 28th,
	12:31am T-Zero: Thanks for that info G. Was in another room and that Whitney was being played, so had to look at the playlist.
	12:32am D. Blumin: Yup, I'm down here in the library - untangling all the chairs down here...
	12:36am Destroit: Blumin is a weirdo, love em.
	12:36am Holly in NC: Hey Destroit!!! Gigantic hello, we shall have to plan an amazing welcome. Right now it's horrid here, 25 degrees F and gusty as hell. @Joe - I may be the only person in the world who doesn't like the Supremes, period. And it's totally Diana's fault.
	12:38am T-Zero: Heh, I'd take that temp, Holly, it's only 2 here.
	12:38am Holly in NC: Cissy's daughter, Dionne Warwick's cousin, Aretha's goddaughter. Royalty.
	12:39am Holly in NC: @T-Zero - Where are you?
	12:43am T-Zero: Columbus OH.
	12:44am Destroit: Care less about the temperature, want to feel the people and the food. Holly, tell me what's up!
	12:44am miss cheri: i hate to trouble you joe,,but during your next mic break could you please give me a little shout out,,thank you joe..
	12:48am Joe McG: @Holly: Thanks for the correction! I always get that wrong. As for the Supremes, I don't hate Diana or anything, I just seem to play the post-DR albums more often.
	12:50am Destroit: Move it. Grinding, crunchy,
	12:55am Holly in NC: @T-Zero - every Ohio ex-pat I've ever met has been slightly insane. And we immediately become great friends ;-) @Destroit - Lots up! After Joe's show, leave a comment at http://hollisterbanister.blogspot.com & I'll send you my e-mail so we don't clog Joe's board! Probably not 'til tomorrow, I'm already wildly multitasking
	12:57am miss cheri: i'm loving your show so far joe,,i guess you don't do shout outs either,,
	12:57am T-Zero: @Holly. Not a native buckeye, but still crazy ;)
	12:57am Holly in NC: This Conway song is awesome
	1:00am Destroit: Got ya Holly,
	1:03am Holly in NC: I have never heard this Loraxy Roy Clark song before, I LOVE it!
	1:05am Destroit: Old dog blue is great.
	1:08am Holly in NC: Irony here - part of my multitasking is baitng a havaheart trap to capture the critters (likely possums) who kept 2 people & 3 cats up ALL NIGHT with their antics in our ctawlspace. Somehow Joe is channeling my life, scary.
	1:09am Joe McG: Yes, I've gone on a critter binge for some reason!
	1:12am Holly in NC: Please tell me this song isn't going to make me cry
	1:12am Possums: It's freakin COLD OUT
	1:13am Joe McG: @Holly: Oops, I was going to pull some Red Sovine and totally forgot! Oh well...
	1:13am miss cheri: i got head out now joe,, ty for your company,, if you can i'll be listening to your shout out,, g'night joe
	1:14am Matt from Springfield: Me & Son! Hey Joe, hey everyone!
	1:14am miss cheri: ohhh and have a happy valentines day joe,,,
	1:15am david: hi Joe and all.
	1:16am steve: how bout some love for them kitties
	1:17am Matt from Springfield: Good Joe, I wouldn't rename a dog that is already past the puppy stage. @steve: If, and only if! Marmalade Kitty comes around! :)
	1:19am erella in toronto: Joe, is it possible the previous owners of your dog were fans of this show? The german shepherd was called Hobo I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=banXT6azA-4
	1:20am Holly in NC: @Possums, yes, and if you'd please curl up into tight heat saving fuzzy balls and go to friggin' sleep we won't have any problems. BTW, dinner is served - peanut butter, canteloupe, & sardines, go wild. And then to sleep.
	1:20am Matt from Springfield: SSS Records! Sorry I missed that one--love that country label, will def check out the Archive!
	1:21am Possums: We're looking for a warmer spot, and ALL FREAKIN NIGHT we can't find a good one. Dommage. We'd take the spare bed.
	1:22am erella in toronto: Oops. I think the dog's name is London not Hobo. It is possible your dog's previous family liked that show.
	1:22am Matt from Springfield: Yeaaaaa Joe!!! (I thought when I first heard this title track, that Mike McKean used this as one of his influences for his Spinal Tap "David St. Hubbins" vocal! :)
	1:22am Destroit: I'm invading your house on the 28th, sardines,PB,lemon, cilantro electric. :)
	1:24am Joe McG: @erella: I don't know, maybe! We loved the guy no matter what he was called.
	1:24am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: Such an assortment of foods reminds me of what my Dad told me he and his brothers used to eat: peanut butter, lettuce and mayo sandwiches! (At least he claims they used to eat those!)
	1:24am Holly in NC: Oh my gosh! Tears For Fears 'Mad World" totally bit this Cat Stevens song - did anyone else hear that?
	1:24am Joe McG: Hey, Matt! Never thought about the Cat Stevens-Spinal Tap connection. Further investigation!
	1:25am erella in toronto: If you're still doing songs about dogs, what about Nilsson's Me and My Arrow? Black Eyed Dog - Nick Drake, Shake Dog Shake - The Cure
	1:26am Destroit: I'm down with nick drake, jus' sayin
	1:26am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Listen to the Flower People, baby!! Of course there's the Youngbloods, the Lemon Pipers and other psych-pop influences, but the stilted delivery of David reminds me of the early Cat Stevens.
	1:27am david: go Yusuf! gotta check out those early records.
	1:27am Matt from Springfield: @Destroit: And WHY would anyone not be down with Nick Drake??? ;)
	1:28am Joe McG: @erella: Ooh, "Black Eyed Dog" can't just be played with dog songs. That song's too intense, makes my hair stand up!
	1:29am Joe McG: @david: I really recommend "Matthew & Son" and "New Masters." The UK reissues from 2003 also have a whole bunch of nice bonus tracks. I'm also partial to the soundtrack to "Howard and Maude"!
	1:29am Destroit: Ya know Matt, some people just suck. :)
	1:30am miss cheri: joe i hope you have a wonderful valentines day,, and no shout outs either? night for real.
	1:30am Matt from Springfield: First saw Harold and Maude last year. Love the soundtrack, and the movie! I rec to any FMU fan! @Destroit: Yeah, true, let's just ignore those people! :)
	1:31am Holly in NC: No spare beds at the inn, possums, sorry. Be grateful for your dinner! Best peanut butter sandwich = seedless rye toast, pb, and sliced cornichons. No lie. Don't knock it 'til you try it!
	1:32am Matt from Springfield: @Destroit: "...cause while the sinners sin, the children play"
	1:32am david: Thanks Joe. From what I've heard of Matthew & Son it seems on par with the Bee Gee's "1st" album
	1:33am Matt from Springfield: Re: M. Dolor: He's Mr. DYINGLY Sad!!! :D
	1:36am Matt from Springfield: Oh Lawdy, novelty song integrating all aspects of "chicken hawk" into it! @Holly: Sounds interesting--do you mean cornichons like cucumbers, or pickles?
	1:36am Joe McG: @Matt: ha ha! @david: Good comparison, both are in the vein.
	1:39am Joe McG: If anybody can tell me where "Slauson Shuffle" comes from, I'd be much obliged.
	1:42am david: Snuffleupagus should do his own version of "do the slauson shuffle"
	1:46am Joe McG: Snuffalslauson Snuffle.
	1:46am erella in toronto: Harold and Maude is a fabulous movie. One of my all time favourites.
	1:46am Holly in NC: @Matt - the wee pickled cucumbers found either in pricey French jars or somewhat less pricey in bulk in deli areas with a certain level of aspiration -down here readily available at Whole Foods, Harris Teeter & the better Krogers. NOT sweet gherkins!!! Or dills or 1/2 sours.
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: NEVER sweet gherkins! I don't even know why they have those!! ;) I'll look for those next time I'm at Whole Foods.
	1:48am erella in toronto: Hey now that Whitney Houston has died, would you play her first recorded bit on a Material album? It is a Hugh Hopper song with Archie Shepp playing sax. Robert Wyatt later recorded a version of the same song http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X_rId-X64hg
	1:49am Joe McG: @erella: Uh...I played it in the first set!
	1:49am Matt from Springfield: YESSSS!! Non-famous Big Country!!! Thank you Joe!!
	1:50am david: lol. k&k reminded me of french fries and The Fonz. miss those days.
	1:50am Matt from Springfield: Love Big Country, I wish there was more "80s Celtic" genre music out there--even 70s Celtic music, like the Horslips will do...
	1:50am Joe McG: Almost forgot about those bagpipe guitars, didn't you? :)
	1:51am Holly in NC: Joe, I have been searching high & low for the Cowsills "Covered Wagon" since you played it 2 (?) weeks ago, and I've been totally thwarted. Never comped & noone's, er, sharing. >:-(
	1:52am Destroit: You have to find mclures pickles, and you will, 28th, quality food.
	1:52am Matt from Springfield: I wasn't around at the time of Big Country, but they've always been a retro fav of mine! And yes, with only one song in my playlist they can sometimes be neglected!
	1:52am david: holy bagpipe guitars
	1:53am Joe McG: @Holly: I'm pretty sure that a label in the UK recently released the last Cowsills LP "On My Side" on CD and I think it's a bonus track on there. Actually, I haven't checked, so maybe I'm totally wrong! But it may be worth trying.
	1:56am Matt from Springfield: "The Ladies' Man, Joe McGasko, is reminding you all about Valentine's Day. Do YOU have a Valentine Love for this Tuesday? Here's our smooooth friend Norman Connors (and a LADY) to remind you..."
	1:57am Joe McG: smooooooooooove.....
	1:59am Matt from Springfield: Nice cover of "My Funny Valentine" by Elvis Costello. I just found out this is a Rodgers & Hart song.
	2:00am T-Zero: I love this song (Funny Valentine) but can never hear it without thinking of Nico and the Factions version.
	2:03am david: the delay on danny doyle's vocals was cool
	2:07am Holly in NC: No more bagpipe guitars, bur how about bagpipe sax? http://a45blog.blogspot.com/2012/02/bag-pipe-stroll.html Very cool little instro
	2:08am Matt from Springfield: But WHY do you move into the smaller Studio B during Marathons? Is it because that's where the 800 number line is located? (I thought someone mentioned that).
	2:10am erella in toronto: Wow, I wasn't listening then! Great to see it. That will teach me to miss part of the show!
	2:11am Matt from Springfield: Ah, physical location convenience. Thanks Joe! And thanks volunteers! I DO like personally calling you during my fav shows, so get ready!! :)
	2:15am Holly in NC: YES!!!!!!!!!!
	2:15am Joe McG: @Holly: I wish I had a Rufus Harley 45! @Matt: No problem explaining that stuff, I'm sure it seems like a mystery to a lot of listeners.
	2:18am Taylor: Ooh...tell me you brought some Devil's Anvil for this set.
	2:18am rada: This song is causing my pet snake to stir.
	2:19am T-Zero: @Joe McG: That song by Esmeray, did the Italian group Fun Fun also do it on the album Double Fun? I know I have it somewhere in Italian but can't remember on what album. (I can't play my vinyl to check as no turntable at present.)
	2:21am T-Zero: @Joe McG: I've been trying to figure out what the English version is...
	2:21am Joe McG: @Taylor: I wish I had! I know it just got reissued. Damn! @T-Zero: I don't know, but I want to find out. It does sound familiar to me.... @rada: !
	2:22am Matt from Springfield: Turkish Delights! (Although we play classic Turkish rock so much on this station that's probably a cliche title!)
	2:23am Brian en Angleterre: Bonjour Joe and everyone. Matthew & Son first album I bought with my own money from paper round in MONO. Still sounds good.
	2:23am Kenzo: Man, I missed Fields of Fire....haven't heard that song in decades. I think I have the music video recorded from TV on a VHS tape in a box...
	2:23am Matt from Springfield: Joe, another thing: I didn't see the Premium Warehouse on this year's premiums page; are you still giving away a Warehouse item with a Mouse pledge?
	2:23am Joe McG: Hey, Brian! Love that story. My first album with my own money was the Tubes' second album. For a quarter!
	2:24am Joe McG: Hey, Kenzo! Want to field the Prize Warehouse question? :)
	2:24am rada: a most brilliant set thus far Joe. Kudos!
	2:26am Kenzo: http://wfmu.org/warehouse $30.42/month and up!
	2:26am Joe McG: Thanks, rada! I'll send it downhill any song now!
	2:26am Brian en Angleterre: Black Dog off Jesse Winchester's first is good & dark. 'Black dog don't believe in sin. Think of where the black dogs been'
	2:27am Joe McG: Ooh, love that album, Brian. I'm bringing some Jesse next week, that's it!
	2:27am Joe McG: Thanks, Kenzo! Hey, Matt, check out Kenzo's helpful link!
	2:28am Matt from Springfield: Thanks Kenzo, that answers it!
	2:32am Matt from Springfield: I so LOVE the premiums offered every year, really gotta hand it to all the DJs...I have two "free" slots with my pledge after everything else I must have (including Muddy Water!), and there are TWELVE premiums competing for those two spaces! :)
	2:33am Matt from Springfield: I enjoyed Bob Brainen's Psychedelic Psellouts 2, I want to get Vol 1 from the Warehouse.
	2:35am Brian en Angleterre: Matt stop teasing yourself. This is the clear light of morning speaking!!
	2:38am Matt from Springfield: Brian! It's finally snowing a bit here, with fierce winds! How's the clear light of morning look in Angleterre?
	2:39am Joe McG: @Matt: Thanks, Matt. I think you'll enjoy my premium this year!
	2:40am king penguin: Old Blue! I'll have to get to this one.
	2:41am Holly in NC: @T-Zero - Italian, but not Fun Fun ! Delirium - song is Jesahel !!
	2:41am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: I'm certain I will! (Especially certain if the "Jilted" song you've been playing is on it! I think it sounds awesome in any case!)
	2:43am Kenzo: Townshend's synth sounds always get me
	2:44am T-Zero: @ Holly: Jesahel! Thank you! I have it by Ciao Fellini on the '80 Mi Da'Tanto album and as Jezahel by Shirley Bassey. I KNEW I had it somewhere both in Italian and English but couldn't remember the English song title. I could kiss you. That's been bugging me for days since I heard this played earlier on FMU (forget now what show).
	2:44am Brian en Angleterre: Matt. Bluddy cold, hitting minus 16 in some parts which is good going for us. Joe After buying Harry Smith's anthology I found the original Good Dog Blue having listening to The Byrds for years. It was an eyeopener.
	2:46am king penguin: The possum growled, Blue whined at him.
	2:47am Joe McG: I'm so happy for you, T-Zero! It's so crazy-making to be unable to remember a tune.
	2:47am some other guy: ahhhh I don't really like that townshend song or this boris song, but that's some good dj'n right there.
	2:48am Joe McG: Thanks, sog. I hit it once in a while!
	2:49am T-Zero: @Joe McG: I'm just glad I recently cataloged my music collection so once I knew the title I could search for what albums. lol Thank god for FMU listeners!
	2:49am king penguin: The "Clarence White Byrds" did three dog songs. Blue, Fido, Bugler. Gene Parsons (not Gram) would later do Bugler as a tribute to Clarence.
	2:50am Matt from Springfield: @TZ: That's right, you were the listener doing the massive music databasing project!
	2:51am Joe McG: @king penguin: I love Bugler. What album is the Fido song on?
	2:51am Brian en Angleterre: Ahh Clarence. Bugler bugler bless your mind jesus gonna take for a chariot ride (from memeory) Ballad of Easy Rider.
	2:52am T-Zero: @Matt: Yeah, now I'm trying to finish up my book library I started years ago and never finished.
	2:53am Brian en Angleterre: Neil Jung's King on Harvest Moon is poor in comparison
	2:54am Joe McG: I sense a complete dog show in the future!
	2:55am king penguin: Say goodbye Sugar, say goodbye.
	2:55am Lassie: Arf Arf
	2:56am T-Zero: @Holly: Seriously! You have no idea how much I appreciated that info. :)
	2:56am king penguin: That''s ruff!
	2:56am Matt from Springfield: @TZ: BOOK library?? Good luck, if yours is anything like mine! ;)
	2:56am Joe McG: Goodnight, everybody! Thanks for listening, and have a great week! And VD, if you're into that sort of thing!
	2:57am Brian en Angleterre: kp Might have to go play them today. Where are they Lassie in that mine shaft?
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: Goodbye Joe! :) And goodnight, everybody! I vote in favor of a dog-theme show, or at least block!
	2:58am T-Zero: Thanks, JoeMcG. Wonderful evening of music! Have a great week.
	2:58am Holly in NC: Joe - Thank you for a particulatly great show! @T-Zero - I just found a whole bunch of Jesahel versions, will update next week. BYW, my book database is still on big floppy floppies somewhere...unfinished..
	2:58am king penguin: Fido is o Ballad of Easy Rider. It's only Byrds song John York sang lead on.
	3:00am Kenzo: My 80's floppy disk video game library database is on paper.
	3:01am T-Zero: @Matt & Holly: Most of my book library was stolen when it was in storage during a move... so that project is now much simpler.
	12:07pm Marmalade Kitty: Enjoyed the show, Joe! Thanks. listening later..
	11:18pm 12539: If you're still puzzled about the Slauson Shuffle, it's named after a street in LA. Source: http://tinyurl.com/6orwo92 Original Do the Slauson record: http://tinyurl.com/7treekd It's strange but pleasant to listen to your show while fully awake (due to the hour, not the content).
	10:16am Joe McG: Hey, 12539, thanks for the info about the Slauson. East coast boy, only been to L.A. a couple of times. Apparently I need to dance the Slauson next time I'm there!
