	9:30am Fernando M Pacheco: I knew there was a good reason not to came to work today
	9:31am Ralphine: Drinking beer and eating a bowl of Cocoa Krispies makes a surprisingly good taste combination.
	9:32am Fernando M Pacheco: But I came anyway, that's how stupid I am.
	♥ 9:32am tim from champaign: Yeah, RRN! Pinch flats on my bike tires were the bane of my existence until I got kevlar tires.

	9:41am βrian: Love the "mwa" of those muted horns.
	9:43am βrian: That autocorrect is EVIL, by the way. It should be opt-in , not opt-out.

	9:47am Glenn M: HELLO

	♥ 9:58am Joe McG: Hey, Matt, thanks! How are things in Springfield this morning?
	10:00am βrian: Forgot to mention: cerulean skies over the isthmus today.
	♥ 10:00am Matt from Springfield: Quite misty and grey! Good day to be inside with hot, strong caffeine!
	♥ 10:01am Michele: JOE! How are you?!
	♥ 10:01am Matt from Springfield: @ßrian: Cerulean?! Aww man, which isthmus do I go to for that!
	10:05am trish: And the first laugh of the day goes to..
	10:05am βrian: This is the isthmus: www.flickr.com...
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! Doin' not too bad! How is you?
	♥ 10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - walkit home Bud!
	10:06am glenn: man, i'm flashing back to the kids in the hall for some reason.

	♥ 10:10am Matt from Springfield: Gorgeous, ßrian! I had no idea Madison was such a lake!
	♥ 10:10am Andrew Waterloo: This is great. I'm glad you played 2... or more.
	♥ 10:10am Stevel: Bud Benderbe Day!
	♥ 10:10am Joe McG: Kind of a cross between Neil Diamond and Scott Walker!
	♥ 10:10am tim from champaign: This version of Sunday Morning sounds like it was recorded for 700 Club. Nice.
	♥ 10:11am Andrew Waterloo: Not enough machetes to be a Scott Walker tune.
	10:11am Roberto: More Bud plz.
	♥ 10:11am Matt from Springfield: @RRN63: LOVE Richard Cheese! Sometimes I like to sing songs in his style! :)
	♥ 10:12am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): I am LOVING this show tonight!
	♥ 10:13am eyenoise: When I got up this morning I had no idea I would be ordering a VU Easy Listening LP on the inter webs. Because that's what I just did. Horrible and great at the same time.
	10:15am Ralphine: That's the best compliment you can pay a DJ.
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: I agree with Ralphine. I want to make you buy everything, eyenoise.
	♥ 10:19am Matt from Springfield: That's right, Ralphine and Joe! I commented here before that: a single playing of Olivia Newton-John's "Amoureuse" by Julie, resulted in 99 cents for 4 different artists!! (Véronique Sanson, original French, Olivia English, Kiki Dee same English lyrics, and Patty Dahlstrom's "Emotion" lyrics to the tune).
	♥ 10:19am DCE: my god I thought this was George Harrison.
	♥ 10:19am Mike Noble: years ago, in an old physical calendar i had mysteriously written the word "jook" on a date months in advance. i could never figure out what i had meant by that note, before, after or since. could my note have been about this Jook?
	♥ 10:22am 12539: DCE, last night EFD played a Jook song and at first I thought the same thing.
	♥ 10:23am Dominick: Nice
	10:23am Ralphine: You're scaring me, Mr. Noble.
	♥ 10:29am Mike Noble: berkeley mews was the b-side on most versions of Lola.
	♥ 10:30am Mike Noble: but mindless child was on this U.S. version: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 10:33am Joe McG: That's the one I have, Mike!
	10:34am Rev. Turnip Druid: whoa.... only ever heard the hawkwind version of this, w/lemmy vocals. nice.
	10:34am Rev. Turnip Druid: 'mornin, all
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Good mornin', Reverend!
	10:37am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Nice cover of the Police.
	10:39am Ralphine: If memory serves, an old reggae bar band called I-Tal used to do a really good cover of TBTBWY.
	10:46am KP: My computer is saying "Stop" to this song.
	10:50am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: This Baby Sitter song is hilarious. Love the Rock A-Bye baby segue.
	♥ 10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - I got no kids & it's breakin' my heart - but I gotta babysitter & that's a start...
	10:50am Cecile: Ralphine, was it the Ann Arbor I-Tal? I think there must be 2000 I-Tals out there in every college town in the US.
	10:51am Ralphine: I have no idea.
	♥ 10:51am tim from champaign: This Shotgun jam is the jam!
	10:52am Ralphine: But I do live in a college town, and it's funny that there were so many I-Tals out roaming the country.
	10:52am Cecile: well, did you see them in the Midwest in the 80s? and did they have a white girl with dreads singing harmony. Because that would be them.
	10:53am Cecile: this mid-tempo 80s groove is my kryptonite.
	10:54am Cecile: or late 70s...
	10:54am Ralphine: Columbia, South Carolina in the 80s, and I was too loaded to remember who was in the band.
	10:57am Cecile: Ha! They were from Cleveland. they played so much in A2 they were listed as local music in the college yearbook. Bet it was the same band. They also did a killer "Ganja Smuggling"
	10:58am Cecile: I guess there was only 1 I-tal, but they played every-fricking-where!
	♥ 11:09am Tome: ..puts on the fez and does the snoopy dance to the coffee pot ...
	♥ 11:09am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Who said Jay Donellen was a duff guitarist. William DeVaughn's Be Thankful For What You Got is a great album. He is not a one hit wonder. Hint.
	♥ 11:12am Brian in UK: Back to hot days 'after the rain' (great Terje Rypdal album) almost beer o'clock.
	11:13am as: sounds klezmery. where is this from?
	♥ 11:13am Brian in UK: Got any Selim Sesler, Joe? Cool Turkish clarinet player.
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @as: Greece, according to the notes. @Brian: Hi, there! Not handy, sadly!
	♥ 11:18am tim from champaign: I recently looked up the original of "Call The Police by Stephanie McDee which the Oblivians covered on their newest record. It's a jammer. Sounds like DJ Assault doing zydeco.
	♥ 11:18am Brian in UK: These tracks are doing a fine job, mate. What about the beer?
	♥ 11:20am Brian in UK: @tim I can remember buying Four Sail in Berwick Street, London, the same day I saw Easy Rider. So that's Sept '69 at a guess. What a great start to a record.
	11:21am Rev. Turnip Druid: [splutter, yawn, rubs eyes, stumbles to awkward attention posture] ....muh? beer?
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: @Rev: I bet MC would not be surprised!
	11:22am Cecile: Greg Cartwright/The Oblivions have the best taste in covers.
	♥ 11:24am tim from champaign: Look it up on yootoob, Cecile.
	11:26am northguineahills: buh-ear....
	11:27am GUMBY: Really enjoying the show today Joe. Thanks.
	11:28am Sigurdur: ;)
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: You bet, GUMBY, dammit.
	11:29am Jeff: I keep thinking about the drumming on Shuffleboat River Farewell - big, but kind of staggering around.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Jeff: I wonder if the drummer was as drunk as Mike?
	11:30am Cecile: siggi!
	♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Joe, could you do a programme solely of Elektra artistes?
	11:31am Sigurdur: cici
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Brian: I could do that, Brian. I love that label so dearly. Good idea! My October Elektra Special.
	11:33am Cecile: awesome, make sure to play Elektra artists Metallica! :D
	♥ 11:33am Brian in UK: Jac Holtzman is up there with the greats.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Ha! Cecile. :)
	11:34am Cecile: you know it, Brian.
	♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: Pre WEA. Ofcourse.
	11:36am Cecile: but wouldn't that leave out Television?
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Brian: Maybe we could make a Tom Verlaine exception clause.
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: Cecile looking forward to seeing this one soon. www.imdb.com... www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: BTW, the Yoshiko Sai song does end like that. Not a technical error, honest!
	11:38am Cecile: that sounds amazing! Brian, the two movies I saw were quite lowbrow but hilarious: Despicable Me 2, and The Heat.
	♥ 11:39am Brian in UK: Form a committee!!!!!!
	♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: I went to see WWZ. It was my wife's birthday. Bad hair day, Brad. Hell he was saving the world.
	♥ 11:42am maestroso: @Joe Mcg: been losing the iphone stream over the last few minutes... That Yoshiko Sai song was nice, though.
	11:42am Cecile: I heard it was fun, if really frantic
	11:43am mrmucho: sounds like Neko Case
	♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: Totally Bonkers
	11:44am Cecile: that scene of the zombies piling up on the Great Wall freaked the crap out of me.
	11:45am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I'm picturing Ron Burgundy playing the crap outta this flute.
	♥ 11:45am Brian in UK: Joe, you could have a short miscellaneous section for the likes of TV, my late 90s favourite is Jason Falkner's 'Can You Still Feel'. Technically way too late.
	11:46am Cecile: hey, Aqualung!
	♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: Cecile it did have something of Lord of the Rings animation about it. I'm waiting for 5D so I can watch it in space.
	11:47am Cecile: I saw the preview for Anchorman II. I am unreasonably excited about that. ha, Brian! You know Elysium looks like it's going to be pretty good.
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: @Cecile: I like the way the guy's about to cough his lung into the flute on that one.
	♥ 11:47am Whosondephone: That was fucking awesome!
	♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: This is a great set, Joe.
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian!
	11:51am will: Uh oh, did Michael Fennelly die, I hope not?
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: @will: No, I just wanted to hear two!
	11:52am Gabrielle: Got any Pink Lady?
	♥ 11:53am Whosondephone: :D
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: @Gabrielle:Actually, I do, at home! Maybe I'll bring my Pink Lady LP in one of these weeks.
	♥ 11:54am Brian in UK: @Gabrielle, this is not a greengrocers.
	♥ 11:54am Sem Chumbo: Well, this tops off a great morning, thanks so much, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: You bet, Sem! Had fun playing music for everybody, as always. Please have a great week and I'll see you next Thursday, I hope! Oh, and stay forever young.
	11:56am Gabrielle: Domo Arigato, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + !
	♥ 11:57am SeanG: epic show dude
	♥ 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:58am northguineahills: Thanks Joe!

	9:31am Ralphine: Drinking beer and eating a bowl of Cocoa Krispies makes a surprisingly good taste combination.
	9:32am Fernando M Pacheco: But I came anyway, that's how stupid I am.
	♥ 9:32am tim from champaign: Yeah, RRN! Pinch flats on my bike tires were the bane of my existence until I got kevlar tires.

	9:41am βrian: Love the "mwa" of those muted horns.
	9:43am βrian: That autocorrect is EVIL, by the way. It should be opt-in , not opt-out.
	♥ 9:47am tim from champaign: Wow, was this written for the Beach Boys? Cool track.
	9:47am Glenn M: HELLO

	♥ 9:58am Joe McG: Hey, Matt, thanks! How are things in Springfield this morning?
	10:00am βrian: Forgot to mention: cerulean skies over the isthmus today.
	♥ 10:00am Matt from Springfield: Quite misty and grey! Good day to be inside with hot, strong caffeine!

	♥ 10:10am Stevel: Bud Benderbe Day!
	♥ 10:10am Joe McG: Kind of a cross between Neil Diamond and Scott Walker!
	♥ 10:10am tim from champaign: This version of Sunday Morning sounds like it was recorded for 700 Club. Nice.
	♥ 10:11am Andrew Waterloo: Not enough machetes to be a Scott Walker tune.
	10:11am Roberto: More Bud plz.
	♥ 10:11am Matt from Springfield: @RRN63: LOVE Richard Cheese! Sometimes I like to sing songs in his style! :)
	♥ 10:12am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): I am LOVING this show tonight!
	♥ 10:13am eyenoise: When I got up this morning I had no idea I would be ordering a VU Easy Listening LP on the inter webs. Because that's what I just did. Horrible and great at the same time.
	10:15am Ralphine: That's the best compliment you can pay a DJ.
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: I agree with Ralphine. I want to make you buy everything, eyenoise.
	♥ 10:19am Matt from Springfield: That's right, Ralphine and Joe! I commented here before that: a single playing of Olivia Newton-John's "Amoureuse" by Julie, resulted in 99 cents for 4 different artists!! (Véronique Sanson, original French, Olivia English, Kiki Dee same English lyrics, and Patty Dahlstrom's "Emotion" lyrics to the tune).
	♥ 10:19am DCE: my god I thought this was George Harrison.
	♥ 10:19am Mike Noble: years ago, in an old physical calendar i had mysteriously written the word "jook" on a date months in advance. i could never figure out what i had meant by that note, before, after or since. could my note have been about this Jook?
	♥ 10:22am 12539: DCE, last night EFD played a Jook song and at first I thought the same thing.
	♥ 10:23am Dominick: Nice
	10:23am Ralphine: You're scaring me, Mr. Noble.
	♥ 10:29am Mike Noble: berkeley mews was the b-side on most versions of Lola.
	♥ 10:30am Mike Noble: but mindless child was on this U.S. version: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 10:33am Joe McG: That's the one I have, Mike!
	10:34am Rev. Turnip Druid: whoa.... only ever heard the hawkwind version of this, w/lemmy vocals. nice.
	10:34am Rev. Turnip Druid: 'mornin, all
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Good mornin', Reverend!
	10:37am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Nice cover of the Police.
	10:39am Ralphine: If memory serves, an old reggae bar band called I-Tal used to do a really good cover of TBTBWY.
	10:46am KP: My computer is saying "Stop" to this song.
	10:50am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: This Baby Sitter song is hilarious. Love the Rock A-Bye baby segue.
	♥ 10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - I got no kids & it's breakin' my heart - but I gotta babysitter & that's a start...
	10:50am Cecile: Ralphine, was it the Ann Arbor I-Tal? I think there must be 2000 I-Tals out there in every college town in the US.
	10:51am Ralphine: I have no idea.
	♥ 10:51am tim from champaign: This Shotgun jam is the jam!
	10:52am Ralphine: But I do live in a college town, and it's funny that there were so many I-Tals out roaming the country.
	10:52am Cecile: well, did you see them in the Midwest in the 80s? and did they have a white girl with dreads singing harmony. Because that would be them.
	10:53am Cecile: this mid-tempo 80s groove is my kryptonite.
	10:54am Cecile: or late 70s...
	10:54am Ralphine: Columbia, South Carolina in the 80s, and I was too loaded to remember who was in the band.
	10:57am Cecile: Ha! They were from Cleveland. they played so much in A2 they were listed as local music in the college yearbook. Bet it was the same band. They also did a killer "Ganja Smuggling"
	10:58am Cecile: I guess there was only 1 I-tal, but they played every-fricking-where!
	♥ 11:09am Tome: ..puts on the fez and does the snoopy dance to the coffee pot ...
	♥ 11:09am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Who said Jay Donellen was a duff guitarist. William DeVaughn's Be Thankful For What You Got is a great album. He is not a one hit wonder. Hint.
	♥ 11:12am Brian in UK: Back to hot days 'after the rain' (great Terje Rypdal album) almost beer o'clock.
	11:13am as: sounds klezmery. where is this from?
	♥ 11:13am Brian in UK: Got any Selim Sesler, Joe? Cool Turkish clarinet player.
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @as: Greece, according to the notes. @Brian: Hi, there! Not handy, sadly!
	♥ 11:18am tim from champaign: I recently looked up the original of "Call The Police by Stephanie McDee which the Oblivians covered on their newest record. It's a jammer. Sounds like DJ Assault doing zydeco.
	♥ 11:18am Brian in UK: These tracks are doing a fine job, mate. What about the beer?
	♥ 11:20am Brian in UK: @tim I can remember buying Four Sail in Berwick Street, London, the same day I saw Easy Rider. So that's Sept '69 at a guess. What a great start to a record.
	11:21am Rev. Turnip Druid: [splutter, yawn, rubs eyes, stumbles to awkward attention posture] ....muh? beer?
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: @Rev: I bet MC would not be surprised!
	11:22am Cecile: Greg Cartwright/The Oblivions have the best taste in covers.
	♥ 11:24am tim from champaign: Look it up on yootoob, Cecile.
	11:26am northguineahills: buh-ear....
	11:27am GUMBY: Really enjoying the show today Joe. Thanks.
	11:28am Sigurdur: ;)
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: You bet, GUMBY, dammit.
	11:29am Jeff: I keep thinking about the drumming on Shuffleboat River Farewell - big, but kind of staggering around.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Jeff: I wonder if the drummer was as drunk as Mike?
	11:30am Cecile: siggi!
	♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Joe, could you do a programme solely of Elektra artistes?
	11:31am Sigurdur: cici
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Brian: I could do that, Brian. I love that label so dearly. Good idea! My October Elektra Special.
	11:33am Cecile: awesome, make sure to play Elektra artists Metallica! :D
	♥ 11:33am Brian in UK: Jac Holtzman is up there with the greats.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Ha! Cecile. :)
	11:34am Cecile: you know it, Brian.
	♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: Pre WEA. Ofcourse.
	11:36am Cecile: but wouldn't that leave out Television?
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Brian: Maybe we could make a Tom Verlaine exception clause.
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: Cecile looking forward to seeing this one soon. www.imdb.com... www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: BTW, the Yoshiko Sai song does end like that. Not a technical error, honest!
	11:38am Cecile: that sounds amazing! Brian, the two movies I saw were quite lowbrow but hilarious: Despicable Me 2, and The Heat.
	♥ 11:39am Brian in UK: Form a committee!!!!!!
	♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: I went to see WWZ. It was my wife's birthday. Bad hair day, Brad. Hell he was saving the world.
	♥ 11:42am maestroso: @Joe Mcg: been losing the iphone stream over the last few minutes... That Yoshiko Sai song was nice, though.
	11:42am Cecile: I heard it was fun, if really frantic
	11:43am mrmucho: sounds like Neko Case
	♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: Totally Bonkers
	11:44am Cecile: that scene of the zombies piling up on the Great Wall freaked the crap out of me.
	11:45am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I'm picturing Ron Burgundy playing the crap outta this flute.
	♥ 11:45am Brian in UK: Joe, you could have a short miscellaneous section for the likes of TV, my late 90s favourite is Jason Falkner's 'Can You Still Feel'. Technically way too late.
	11:46am Cecile: hey, Aqualung!
	♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: Cecile it did have something of Lord of the Rings animation about it. I'm waiting for 5D so I can watch it in space.
	11:47am Cecile: I saw the preview for Anchorman II. I am unreasonably excited about that. ha, Brian! You know Elysium looks like it's going to be pretty good.
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: @Cecile: I like the way the guy's about to cough his lung into the flute on that one.
	♥ 11:47am Whosondephone: That was fucking awesome!
	♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: This is a great set, Joe.
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian!
	11:51am will: Uh oh, did Michael Fennelly die, I hope not?
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: @will: No, I just wanted to hear two!
	11:52am Gabrielle: Got any Pink Lady?
	♥ 11:53am Whosondephone: :D
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: @Gabrielle:Actually, I do, at home! Maybe I'll bring my Pink Lady LP in one of these weeks.
	♥ 11:54am Brian in UK: @Gabrielle, this is not a greengrocers.
	♥ 11:54am Sem Chumbo: Well, this tops off a great morning, thanks so much, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: You bet, Sem! Had fun playing music for everybody, as always. Please have a great week and I'll see you next Thursday, I hope! Oh, and stay forever young.
	11:56am Gabrielle: Domo Arigato, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + !
