12:03pm tim from champaign:

Hey Joe! New Dirtbombs record is out today!!!!!! Did the station get a copy yet?

12:06pm Joe B:

Hi Tim. I don't know if it is here, didn't have time to look today

12:09pm Adrian in London:

Woah, I haven't heard this Dusty song before. It's fantastic.

👻

12:09pm tim from champaign:

Cool. Great start, Joe.

12:09pm Cecile:

Dusty!

12:11pm KP:

That was awesome (and new to me) song but it's an Endless Summer!

12:20pm Stevel:

How in the HELL am I supposed to get anything done with this racket!?

👻

12:21pm tim from champaign:

East Bay Ray is such a good guitarist. How could Jello think he couldn't pay these guys?

12:23pm KevinWho:

(checking wikipedia for Glen's obit ....)

12:23pm Stevel:

OK, that was one of the strangest (best) segues ever.

Marry me, Joe B!

👻

12:26pm tim from champaign:

Glen Campbell and Cheater Slicks is a good combination.

12:28pm common:

this cheater slicks tune is quite strange

👻

12:30pm Ken From Hyde Park:

It seems that Glen Campbell is just a bit older than my dear mother (Glen born April 22, 1936).

👻

12:35pm Ken From Hyde Park:

@KevinWho - Yeah, me too. When I saw Joe played him, I thought "Glen Campbell - alive or dead?" As of today, he is alive. For some reason, I was thinking of "Rhinestone Cowboy" yesterday.

👻

12:35pm tim from champaign:

That was a good interview with Barrence last week. I can just imagine how smokin his set was.

12:36pm Joe B:

thanks Tim!

12:37pm Joe B:

Hi everybody! thanks for listening/commenting! appreciate it!

12:43pm KevinWho:

Glen's Alezheimer's diagnosis is tragic, but then again, he's done plenty of forgettable stuff

12:44pm KevinWho:

too soon, i know

12:47pm MissV:

Hello 3 chord Joe!

12:49pm Joe B:

Hi Miss V!

1:03pm John L.:

Brother JT, of the Original Sins, is playing BSP Lounge in Kingston NY on Sept 28. He is opening for Sean Lennon. Great show, Joe!!! I can't believe how much great music came out this year.

1:07pm Michael Downey:

Thanks for playing our new one!

1:24pm Dominick:

Oh Stevie!

1:26pm Belock Disciple:

That Kelly Willis tune is another in a long line of covers of Jules Shear songs ... sung by females.

1:29pm Joe B:

thanks, she also covers Iggy on there!

1:30pm KevinWho:

naming yourself "Belock Disciple" here is like being in The Price Is Right audience and wearing an "Marry Me Drew" t-shirt

1:30pm Mike East:

nice guitar riff and tone!

1:30pm Cheri Pi:

Heya late JB and JayBeings!

1:31pm KevinWho:

say ... there's a promo idea for you Joe B.!

1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...been listening! - in tub - *hopefully* not built to spill...

1:34pm KP:

Awesome Built to Spillness.

1:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...the tub of course - the track is bitchin'...

1:35pm Figures of Light:

Hey -- here at the office, and Michael told me you played Stu's version of NINETY-NINE -- hope you will play the new, minimalist version too!! Thanks much!! FOL FOREVER!!

1:36pm Joe B:

hey Wheeler! yeah, got mixed up and played the first one. next week!

1:37pm Figures of Light:

Coolness -- many thanks!! Three Chord Monte Forever!!!

1:40pm Cheri Pi:

Segueotage.

1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...SelfSegueotage...

1:42pm Marmalade Kitty:

Roooockin bed music!

1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- yeah MK
...okay - I forgot the name of that instrumental...hey! - 20thCentury's starting to be a long time ago...

1:45pm efd:

Wrong Words at Shea Stadium Saturday (with Lame Drivers and the Beets) and at Cake Shop Sunday!

1:45pm efd:

if it weren't for the stream delay you would have seen that sooner!

1:47pm Mike Sin:

Hey Joe, just checking in and saying "hello"... "Yay!" for new Wrong Words' album.

1:47pm Joe B:

thanks efd! better ... early? than never? confused by the time differences!

1:47pm Joe B:

bed music is ventures version of night train!

👻

1:48pm tim from champaign:

Wow, this Wrong Words is killer. It's like the best of 80s jangle pop and the good parts of the Paisley Underwear sound.

1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- Night Train!
...the humiliation...

1:49pm Marmalade Kitty:

wot, no 8bit night train?? :)

1:51pm KevinWho:

saw Neighbours w/ Paul Collins Sunday night

1:55pm Joe B:

how was it?

1:57pm KevinWho:

Paul looks positively svelte, and he and the band were even tighter than usual. very funnny stage banter too. his voice stared hoarse, and by the end of the night it was full-on Sling Blade, but he still hits/approximates the notes

👻

1:58pm tim from champaign:

How does Bob Pollard do it?

1:59pm KevinWho:

Neighbours played last. they are so young!!! they don't have the power/confidence of the record yet, but they were good---I stayed the whole night. Josh from MOIP opened the show, and he is/was stellar, did a remarkable cover from "Ernest Goes To Camp"

1:59pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello Joe & all Belockers ( Disciples et al). First time I saw Pollard was at CP Summerstage in '96. My daughter first rock show. Very impressed by his lobbing of beer cans into the audience!

2:26pm Cecile:

Pat Todd!

👻

2:27pm tim from champaign:

I like Pat Todd's small town sentiments better than John Cougar's.

2:28pm Cecile:

they're from the same neck of the woods...

👻

2:32pm tim from champaign:

Yeah? Bloomington, IN? If so, I thought I heard some Gizmos in the Pat Todd song.

2:32pm Cecile:

Yup!

2:33pm Cecile:

Pat Todd didn't grow up a rich kid like Mellencamp did, though.

2:33pm John L.:

It's the birthday of Hank Sr., by the way.

2:34pm Joe B:

thanks John didn't know that

2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Happy B-Day Hank Sr.

2:34pm Cecile:

this is the first Hank III song I haven't hated outright. Pretty good.

👻

2:35pm tim from champaign:

Even though Champaign is the birthplace of REO, it's more of a John Cougar type of town.

2:35pm MissV:

JB you are missing Cap'n Crunch up in the offices

2:35pm Cecile:

Was it also a Shoes kind of town?

2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Williams Wiki :
en.wikipedia.org...
- nice KuntrySwing Git-tar on that Hank III.

2:37pm Joe B:

what???????? if the crunchberry beast is there too I'm gonna be pissed!

2:39pm MissV:

Apparently, we live in a world were a cereal mascot gets to have his own talk show.

👻

2:41pm tim from champaign:

Back in the late 70s/early 80s it was. The Vertebrats and The Rave hailed from here. John Cougar is more of a provincial rock hero for the masses more so than hometown clods REO.

2:44pm Cecile:

He probably played there as much if not more than they did.

2:44pm John L.:

What, no George Thorogood?

2:45pm Joe B:

I like the first 2 Thorogood LPs. good version of cocaine blues

2:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...'Vertebrats' - hehe - like that...

2:46pm Cecile:

Me too Joe! He also did a great Move it On Over. And back in the day, he was the live show to beat.

👻

2:46pm tim from champaign:

Vertebrats and The Rave are no strangers on the 3 Chord Monte.

2:47pm Cecile:

he used to not tour in the summer cause it would cut into his softball playing time

2:47pm John L.:

I did security at a Thorogood show once. His audience left a bad taste in my mouth.

2:47pm Cecile:

Vertebrats birthed Ric Menck!

2:48pm KevinWho:

@Cecile: that i did not know. good info!

2:48pm Cecile:

RIP Roy.

2:49pm Cecile:

which factoid, Kevin? :D

2:50pm Joe B:

menck was in the Vertebrats?

2:52pm Nanker de Tucson:

Another excellent show today, JoeB!

2:52pm Cecile:

I seem to remember something about him drumming for them when he was underage, but I might not be remembering that Big Takeover interview rightly.

2:53pm Joe B:

thanks Naker! thanks everybody for listening and commenting!

2:54pm Cecile:

I will have to look that up. great show, joe.

2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Thx As Ever Joe.

2:55pm dinatekno:

Fantastic show - as usual. Thank you for keeping this cubicle drone sane. This Paul Messis song is sad & beautiful.

2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Gheez - if I just heard this Messis & was told it was 1965 - I'd be totally snookered...
