	12:34am Sign: Please place requests in the box, then slam the lid on your fingers :)
	12:38am Joe McG: @cheri: Sorry, Cheri, not much in a request mood tonight. You'll have to suffer through my selections.
	12:40am chris m.: i'm not making requests, i'm just asking what kind of back Joe is in. but i would love to hear tiny dancer right now.
	12:41am Joe McG: @chris: I hope you'll play it later.
	12:41am Sign: troublemaker :)
	12:44am Joe McG: Tune in at 3, everyone: AC/DC and Elton John tribute show!
	12:45am Sign: Set your alarm, cheri :)
	12:46am 12539: That's sounds imaginary, Joe.
	12:49am Joe McG: No, not at all! "I'm Still Standing" should be coming up around 3:45.
	12:50am clarke: hey, how come no mention of Hazlewood in that new Wrecking Crew book -- not one???
	12:52am Joe McG: Seriously? I haven't read it yet but really want to. Poor Lee. No respect!
	12:53am clarke: yeah, i am thinking he pissed off the author?? ha ha. i really enjoyed the book on a certain level, yet....i have complaints, haha.
	12:54am clarke: to my understanding: hazlewood put together a LOT of those Wrecking Crew guys (BEFORE spector)
	12:54am miss cheri: well joe i have to split now,, but i'll be listening ALL NIGHT!!! thnx for your company! night all
	12:55am Joe McG: @clarke: Now, Lee Hazlewood's a guy who I wish had written a tell-all autobiography.
	12:56am clarke: don't get me wrong - the book is a GREAT read - and i know you will enjoy it...
	12:57am clarke: i just read a killer interview with lee --- but i can't remember WHERE...will have to think =- but there is such nice music on - i can't think, ha ha.
	12:58am clarke: don't want to give too much away about Wrecking Crew book: but author spends a LOT of time explaining the music business, unecessarily - like does Rubber Soul have to be 'explained'??
	12:59am Joe McG: Thanks, clarke, appreciate the "nice music" comment!
	1:00am clarke: i often listen to your show -- but, us musician types hardly EVER get a saturday night off to weigh in on the comments!!
	1:01am clarke: thank goodness and 'fmu for Archives
	1:01am miss cheri: love ya joe,,see you next weekend...
	1:02am G: I think this won the Nashville Eurovision contest :-)
	1:04am Joe McG: @G: It almost lost to Nana Masskouri's version of "Wabash Cannonball."
	1:05am david: howdy joe and others. glad i stayed tuned after primavera.
	1:08am clarke: hey david - did you hear that interview with the dutch guy that won the 'fmu tix to the fest??
	1:09am clarke: high- lariious!!!
	1:09am miss cheri: i hope you have a terrific week..joe
	1:14am Joe McG: Hey, David!
	1:17am Fiveash: Got home just in time to hear you reading from the Charlie Louvin tome! Nicely done, Joe. Additionally, I could listen to nothing but Hank demos for the rest of my life and be OK with it.
	1:17am clarke: my favorite waylon tune!!
	1:18am Joe McG: Hey, Matt! I might read one more bit yet. It's a great book. I'm with you on the Hank demos!
	1:19am clarke: yeah, nice reading - i gotta read that book!!
	1:25am G: Dude's brutal :-)
	1:26am Fiveash: The Louvins were successful enough, but had the Satan Is Real cover shoot caught their hair on fire they might have been bigger than Michael Jackson. But that's show biz...
	1:27am Julie: I'm late..what are we reading?
	1:28am G: Louvin memoirs, Julie
	1:28am Julie: I heard the name Ira I was like this CAN'T be The yo la tengo book
	1:29am Joe McG: Ha ha ha ha!
	1:34am david: intruders love it
	1:35am miss cheri: hiya julie,, what's happening? sorry i did'nt have any time to e-mail you my nancy sinatra list i was busy all week long =(
	1:35am Fiveash: Julie- ha! Can't wait for the equally violent Neil Kaplan memoir.
	1:37am Julie: So I won't ask Ira how his bullets are then?
	1:38am Skillet: Yo la kabongo
	1:38am Matt from Springfield: Oh WOW! Joe is on tonight! Glad I caught Single File! How ya doing, Joe! Everybody!
	1:39am david: reminded me of the season finale of fringe
	1:40am Matt from Springfield: Hey Julie, Fiveash, G, david!
	1:40am G: You're up late!
	1:41am miss cheri: julie --maybe i'll have time to do it sometime later this week. night joe & julie!!
	1:41am Matt from Springfield: @G: I'm FREQUENTLY up late! Rather I should accuse you of being up late! ;)
	1:42am Brian in UK: Mornin' Joe. Apache is proving popular. Faye played the original the other day. The Shadows' Hank Marvin was the Hank in Neil Youngs 'Hank to Hendrix' song.
	1:42am G: My bad!
	1:43am Matt from Springfield: Still, awesome to catch you on Surface Noise, G!
	1:43am Joe McG: @Brian: Hey, Brian! Insider's Tip: Faye collects versions of "Apache" (don't know if she has this one)
	1:44am Joe McG: Hey, Matt from Springfield! Forgot to say hello earlier.
	1:46am G: Which version of "Rings" was on the radio a lot in the early 70s? This one? There were several versions...
	1:46am Brian in UK: Yes Joe she said that she used to play them on college raydeeo. My favourite Shads title is 'The Rise & Fall of Flingel Bunt' Hope I got that right.
	1:47am Joe McG: @G: I think it was by a group called Cymarron or something like that. This one's weird 'cause it's on Motown.
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: No prob, you're busy spinning short platters! I didn't realize that people collected versions of "Apache", let alone Faye. I am somehow much happier as a result of learning this.
	1:48am Brian in UK: Hank Marvins name is Brian if your are interested MfS.
	1:50am Joe McG: @Brian: I love that Hank Marvin solo album from 1969 or so.
	1:50am G: Joe's right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cymarron Cymarron's version got to 17 in 1971. The version Joe just played was released in 1974, as was a version by Lobo (whose big hit was "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" in 1971)...
	1:50am Brian in UK: Was Gloria driving when Bolan hit the tree?
	1:51am G: meow! :-)
	1:52am Joe McG: @Brian: She was, I think. Hurt bad, but only he died.
	1:56am Joe McG: Does anybody know offhand what riddim was used on the Johnny Osbourne record? It's so familiar that it's driving me crazy.
	1:58am Matt from Springfield: Oooh, Steve Martin.
	1:58am Brian in UK: Love it Joe playing singles, commenting all at two in the morning. Octopus Man!! I was thinking of some Culture tracks. Two Sevens Clash maybe.
	1:59am Matt from Springfield: I'm pompous, obese, and eat cactus! And I'm going to a yawning festival tomorrow!!
	2:01am Fiveash: Joe- The original instrumental is Real Rock by the Sound Dimension (Studio One house band), I think. The best known version is probably Armagideon Time by Willie Williams.
	2:02am Fiveash: And I'm with you on the possibly pernicious influence of Steve Martin records as a youth.
	2:04am Matt from Springfield: Ah, "Lend Me The Sixteen" meant 16 tracks to record. Thanks Joe! Thanks Fiveash too, that's a good catch!
	2:08am Matt from Springfield: Hoooooray Hooray! PSA!
	2:09am Brian in UK: Showbands were based in Ireland. Waterford being famous for crystal glass. Confused by the 'Royal'. Please do not mention the Queens Jubilee. God save the Ween.
	2:09am Jerseyite: Yo, hack dis sack!
	2:09am Matt from Springfield: For Hacken's Sake!!!
	2:10am Michael Grant: hiiii i lahv you
	2:11am Michael Grant: hi i love you
	2:11am Matt from Springfield: Helvetica! Don't forget Trebuchet MS, or Book Antiqua.
	2:12am Joe McG: I loves to be loved.
	2:13am Michael Grant: c'est bon! im in a lovely/loving mood at 2 in the morning
	2:13am Fiveash: Joe, it's a rare treat to hear the show live. Normally on Saturday nights I work till Christ o'clock. This is my way of telling you that next week you're on your own when it comes to arcane rocksteady trivia...
	2:14am Joe McG: @Fiveash: Bummer! I wish I had your beeper for dumb questions.
	2:15am Beeper: Sorry, I've been donated to the Obsolete Technology Museum.
	2:19am Joe McG: What are you gonna do, I'm an Old Man.
	2:19am Matt from Springfield: Good ol' GSH! In fact, you played a tribute to him right after last year's Primavera, RIP since May 27 last year.
	2:20am Joe McG: Wow, Matt, thanks for reminding me! I totally forgot that! A whole year already.
	2:29am Brian in UK: Was that Marlin on harmonies?
	2:30am Matt from Springfield: And thanks for this John Doe/Exene Cervenka, new release, so it just dawned on me (and no doubt others) as well!
	2:32am Joe McG: @Brian: I don't see hubby Marlin listed, but who knows? It was just a demo! What a good one. @Matt: You're welcome! Nice to hear them singing together and I like that song.
	2:34am Matt from Springfield: "Electric ragtime" is a good description as any of this tune. The quirky, instrumental folk nature of it reminds me of an unreleased demo as a bonus track on a 60s/70s band's deluxe reissue.
	2:37am Joe McG: That sounds like a new genre, Matt!
	2:38am Matt from Springfield: I will work on telekinetically creating it, whether the record industry likes it or not!!
	2:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everyone! Hope you all have a great week. See you next time.
	2:57am Brian in UK: Bye.
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: Great anthem. And thanks Joe, hear you next time as well!

	1:56am Joe McG: Does anybody know offhand what riddim was used on the Johnny Osbourne record? It's so familiar that it's driving me crazy.
	1:58am Matt from Springfield: Oooh, Steve Martin.
	1:58am Brian in UK: Love it Joe playing singles, commenting all at two in the morning. Octopus Man!! I was thinking of some Culture tracks. Two Sevens Clash maybe.
	1:59am Matt from Springfield: I'm pompous, obese, and eat cactus! And I'm going to a yawning festival tomorrow!!
	2:01am Fiveash: Joe- The original instrumental is Real Rock by the Sound Dimension (Studio One house band), I think. The best known version is probably Armagideon Time by Willie Williams.
	2:02am Fiveash: And I'm with you on the possibly pernicious influence of Steve Martin records as a youth.
	2:04am Matt from Springfield: Ah, "Lend Me The Sixteen" meant 16 tracks to record. Thanks Joe! Thanks Fiveash too, that's a good catch!
	2:08am Matt from Springfield: Hoooooray Hooray! PSA!
	2:09am Brian in UK: Showbands were based in Ireland. Waterford being famous for crystal glass. Confused by the 'Royal'. Please do not mention the Queens Jubilee. God save the Ween.
	2:09am Jerseyite: Yo, hack dis sack!
	2:09am Matt from Springfield: For Hacken's Sake!!!
	2:10am Michael Grant: hiiii i lahv you
	2:11am Michael Grant: hi i love you
	2:11am Matt from Springfield: Helvetica! Don't forget Trebuchet MS, or Book Antiqua.
	2:12am Joe McG: I loves to be loved.
	2:13am Michael Grant: c'est bon! im in a lovely/loving mood at 2 in the morning
	2:13am Fiveash: Joe, it's a rare treat to hear the show live. Normally on Saturday nights I work till Christ o'clock. This is my way of telling you that next week you're on your own when it comes to arcane rocksteady trivia...
	2:14am Joe McG: @Fiveash: Bummer! I wish I had your beeper for dumb questions.
	2:15am Beeper: Sorry, I've been donated to the Obsolete Technology Museum.
	2:19am Joe McG: What are you gonna do, I'm an Old Man.
	2:19am Matt from Springfield: Good ol' GSH! In fact, you played a tribute to him right after last year's Primavera, RIP since May 27 last year.
	2:20am Joe McG: Wow, Matt, thanks for reminding me! I totally forgot that! A whole year already.
	2:29am Brian in UK: Was that Marlin on harmonies?
	2:30am Matt from Springfield: And thanks for this John Doe/Exene Cervenka, new release, so it just dawned on me (and no doubt others) as well!
	2:32am Joe McG: @Brian: I don't see hubby Marlin listed, but who knows? It was just a demo! What a good one. @Matt: You're welcome! Nice to hear them singing together and I like that song.
	2:34am Matt from Springfield: "Electric ragtime" is a good description as any of this tune. The quirky, instrumental folk nature of it reminds me of an unreleased demo as a bonus track on a 60s/70s band's deluxe reissue.
	2:37am Joe McG: That sounds like a new genre, Matt!
	2:38am Matt from Springfield: I will work on telekinetically creating it, whether the record industry likes it or not!!
	2:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everyone! Hope you all have a great week. See you next time.
	2:57am Brian in UK: Bye.
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: Great anthem. And thanks Joe, hear you next time as well!
