	9:06am βrian: Gauzy skies over the isthmus today. Hello.
	♥ 9:09am Joe McG: Hey, everybody! Brian, I feel there's an isthmus joke in me somewhere, but I can't find it.
	9:13am Parq: This week's set follows especially nicely after the Martian intro.
	9:13am βrian: Well, thisthmus not be your day.
	9:13am Parq: Joe, will "Isthmus be the place" do?
	♥ 9:14am Joe McG: @Brian @ Parq: Thank you, sirs. I knew I could count on you!
	9:17am braveness23: I don't know if it counts as spiritual pajamas but I got new long johns yesterday and I am wearing them now.
	9:18am tidalene: Is the the studio microphone on?
	♥ 9:18am Joe McG: Why "long johns" I wonder? Why not "long joes"?
	9:19am braveness23: I can definitely hear some "surface noise" in the background
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: @tidalene: Does it sound alright out there? We've been having some technical problems this week....
	9:20am Cheri Pi: belated Fad Gadget reaction!
	9:21am braveness23: I think it was just scratchy vinyl
	♥ 9:22am Joe McG: Pop Pop Pop. The aliens like it scratchy.
	9:22am braveness23: Good morning, Pi Gadget
	9:24am Parq: Switching from stream to airwaves to check. So far so good.
	9:25am βrian: We always called them long johnsons.
	♥ 9:25am Joe McG: @Brian: If they were called that, EVERYONE would buy a pair.
	♥ 9:26am Marcel M: Haha this is awesome!
	9:26am Cheri Pi: Heya B23! oooo I watched this piano duet video yesterday, it's pretty badass.
	9:26am braveness23: Oh I was hoping this wasn't "Just Like Honey"...
	♥ 9:26am Michele: Hi Joe - I love this Just Like Honey piano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:27am Planet Tyler: OMG instrumental J&M Chain I LOVE IT
	♥ 9:28am Joe McG: Hi, Michele!!
	♥ 9:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ooh yeah - MaryChain - feeelsgood - (shudderdhuddeer...happy nod)...
	9:29am Cheri Pi: Piano video version youtu.be...
	9:30am Cheri Pi: Good call JMcG :)
	9:34am pgw in mntclr: @Michele i just got back into bed with a morning sandwich
	♥ 9:34am tim from champaign: Hey Joe and yolks!
	♥ 9:37am Planet Tyler: Cheri, thanks for the YT
	♥ 9:37am Michele: @pgw I am so jealous!!!!
	9:38am Cheri Pi: BWW are my favorite band.
	♥ 9:38am Joe McG: Cheri Pi, are you pulling my leg?
	9:40am Cheri Pi: Not in any way! I worship them, have since I was 14.
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: Wow, I'm going to call you Anabella now instead of Bailey!
	9:41am paula pc: I saw Bow Wow Wow live in the mid-late 90s, and it was by far one of the best shows I've ever seen.
	♥ 9:41am common: Cheri. I traded a liquid liquid lp for the first bow wow wow record and a missing persons record. Love em!
	9:42am Cheri Pi: The last time I saw the Melvins this year Brian Walsby drew me a portrait of Annabella.
	9:42am Cheri Pi: So funny common, Missing Persons was the first LP I bought with my own money!
	9:43am Cheri Pi: Paula I saw them on that tour too, it was amazing!!!!!
	♥ 9:45am common: that's a great first lp, cheri.
	9:50am braveness23: jeez, I'm trying to remember what my first album purchase was...
	9:51am Cecile: hahahaha that Boston Incest record is now popular, but you could find it sealed for pennies for a long time
	9:52am Cecile: Mine was Straight in a Gay, Gay World by Skyhooks.
	9:53am braveness23: One thing I know for sure is that whatever my first LP was, Cheri Pi probably now has it. Maybe The Police Zenyatta Mondatta. Actually it was probably a Beatles record but I'm thinking more along the lines of not mainstream stuff.
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: @Cecile: Intriguing first LP! Mine was the second album by the Tubes! No wonder I'm warped.
	9:54am Cecile: yeah, exactly. I listened to other albums, of course, and had my favorites. But that was purchased at an actual record store with my actual money.
	9:56am herb.nyc: RUBINOOS! i so regret not going to the gym of my college, 1980(?), to see them, for they opened for ELVIS C & THE ATTRACTIONS. oh well. (offside - i had my stereo on EVAN F.D.'s show but the reception kept going in / out, beginning ~10.09pm. fook! why couldn't it have happened on 7SD instead??? life is so unfair. anyway, anyone have this problem?)
	♥ 9:57am common: jonathan, quit being so salty!
	10:00am Cecile: no comment, jojo.
	10:03am lisa: I'm really enjoying this set, Joe! It's making me want to listen to my Judys records. :)
	♥ 10:04am tim from champaign: One of the 1st 45s I distinctly remember buying was "The Curly Shuffle". I'm thinking one of the first LPs I bought was Men At Work.
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: Cool, lisa! Ha ha ha, Tim! A lot of my friends had "Business As Usual" and "Cargo."
	10:08am Cecile: Cargo has that amazingly poignant song "Overkill". I didn't like their earlier stuff, but that is a great pop song.
	♥ 10:08am tim from champaign: I think it was "Business As Usual" now that you mention the titles. I still wish I had the Curly Shuffle 45. That still gets some yucks amongst my friends when we name drop that side.
	10:09am Cecile: I have that Bruce Springstone 45. It's actually has Tommy Keene (printed as Keen or Keane on the cover) and his producer Ted Nicely on it.
	10:11am Cecile: nope, no Nicely, just Tommy Keene. good to know.
	10:12am lisa: I particularly liked that Frozen Concentrate track. I'd never heard it or them before. Now I'm gonna have to track down that single.
	10:16am some other guy: That El Congreso song sounds a lot like the the Happy End song Dakeshimitai from the same year. Maybe that's just what 1971 sounded like all 'round the world.
	10:16am Cecile: some other, yeah, pretty much.
	10:17am earrie: Gabor Szabo, ah.
	10:20am Parq: Just seeing the name "Warner Bros-Seven Arts" is dreamily nostalgic. Late 60s pop music on top of it is enough to throw me off work for the whole morning.
	10:20am slater: bappa ba!
	10:22am Faye: nice playlist JMCG!
	♥ 10:22am common: sounds like classical gas.
	♥ 10:23am listener james from westwood: our pisano here is, like beethoven at taco bell, a bit classical gassy. i'm not complaining, now.
	♥ 10:23am listener james from westwood: heh, great minds think alike, common!
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: Hey, Faye! Thanks! @common/james: Yes, I was having a little Mason Williams rip-off fun.
	10:25am Cecile: "now play classical gas"
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Cecile: Everybody knows that one by heart, right?
	♥ 10:26am listener james from westwood: ^^^ primo ref to a primo simpsons ep!
	♥ 10:27am tim from champaign: Early 70s Iran must have been a scene. All of these Persian comps are super groovy.
	10:28am Cecile: I can't count how many times I've watched it. hahahahaha!
	♥ 10:30am tim from champaign: Oops. Turkish. Sorry.... Same goes for the early 7os Turkey.
	♥ 10:31am common: i really wanted to see kiss of the damned because of the director and the great poster art...then i saw the trailer. P U! too bad.
	♥ 10:33am tim from champaign: Sure, Joe, you read Penthouse just for the Jonathan Richman records.....
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @tim: Ha!
	♥ 10:36am Guido (Cologne): I've got an absolute marvelous kind of surf-beat-garage-single by the Turkish guy called Alpay. That was among a stack of Arabesque-singles and that on was an exception.
	10:37am Parq: Michael, some hippie thing, I take it?
	♥ 10:37am Marcel M: man this song is great
	10:37am Cecile: this is a strange and wonderful record
	♥ 10:40am Guido (Cologne): ... this one is nice!
	10:41am Parq: Hah! Sens Alex Harvey's "Delilah" -- thought so! Was just thinking about this record not a whole hour ago.
	10:44am Cecile: dakota!
	10:48am quinn: now this is a great show
	10:48am PKNY: This is a pretty good Kool and the Gang knockoff.
	♥ 10:49am Guido (Cologne): Yep, nice show!
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: Hey, quinn! Hey, PKNY! Hey Guido!
	10:49am KP: Hi Joe. Great stuff this morn.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: Hey, KP, thanks! Havin' a good time, as usual!
	♥ 10:51am common: to add to the praise, joe, this is truly one of the best shows i've heard on fmu this year. good stuff!
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: Shucks, common, you're making me all happy in here.
	♥ 10:56am common: being sincere.
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @common: Very much appreciate it, honest!
	♥ 10:58am tim from champaign: I hear that the new Coen Brothers movie is based on Dave Van Ronk's life.
	10:58am Cecile: what a great vocal here.
	10:59am KP: Lovely DVR. Can't wait for the Coen bros movie.
	♥ 10:59am Joe McG: @tim: You're right on top of it, sir. That's what made me dig this one out.
	♥ 10:59am Ike: On a random note, want to hear about a crazy radio occurrence? This morning, WNYE-91.5 was apparently hijacked by racists for at least a few minutes. Normally they carry WFUV's "Alternate Side" indie music, but just before 7:30, it was a guy talking about how Palestinians are all actually from Jordan and belong there, and that Ariel Sharon is betraying Israel to the left wing (which would be quite a trick given his current condition). Then it abruptly goes back to A.S. in the middle of a song. Bizarre!
	10:59am Parq: Dang, Joe, you have SAHB's "Delilah" and Van Ronk's Joni cover on 45? You are some astute collector.
	♥ 10:59am Mike Noble: @quinn: hi Quinn La Monte
	11:00am Cecile: this is definitely better than the original, I have to say.
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Parq: I wish my 45s were a little mintier, but I enjoy 'em! Glad you do, too.
	11:00am pgw in mntclr: this is a soul-crushingly wonderful cover
	11:00am Cecile: Ike, that sounds kind of insane
	11:02am earrie: Great slew of 45s; I hadn't heard a single one of'em.
	11:03am Cecile: you know she got paid for it.
	11:03am glenn: joni doesn't have much of a sense of humour about anything, to be honest.
	11:05am KP: Thanks for tip on book. I've read a few but not that one. What a treat that guy was,
	11:05am some other guy: suuuuure you don't know what that means.
	11:05am Cecile: That means he's going to the barn to look at the ladies underwear section and well...
	♥ 11:09am Mike Noble: @Joe McG: thanks for plugging the av lounge!
	11:10am glenn: hey, apparently andy kaufman is still alive. www.torontosun.com...
	♥ 11:11am tim from champaign: Who you talking about, Cecile? Blowfly? hee hee
	11:12am Cecile: hahahaha, no the hippie from the hills...
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: @Mike: No problem, Mike! Thanks for helping us out again for another great year. Feel free to share any choice items you might have planned right here in this space.
	11:14am bobdoesthings: pigpen?
	♥ 11:15am Mike East: Hey guys! Is there a place I can find out who the fill ins were earlier this week? I know there have been a bunch and I can't remember who I'm looking for.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: I can help, Mike. When were you listening?
	♥ 11:16am Mike Noble: @Joe McG: can I expect you at the screening of "be glad for the song has no ending" on sunday night?
	♥ 11:16am Mike East: oh wait, think I found it...It was Steve Krinsky.
	♥ 11:16am Mike East: @Joe McG - I'm ALWAYS listening :)
	11:17am Jeff: @Joe: "I don't need to read this from a piece of paper." Bill O: "I'll write it, and we'll do it live!" www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Mike: Well, I'm selling records on Sunday, so I don't know, but I'm DYING to see that movie, so maybe I can wrap up early and come over....
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Jeff: Ha ha!
	♥ 11:19am Mike Noble: @Joe McG: I will be leaving town early Sunday, but I'll tell whoever is volunteering in the room (possibly andrea) to give you the DVD after it's over.
	11:20am herb.nyc: re: WNYE, kinda like a NON-J.M. IN THE A.M.
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: @Mike: You are the best!
	11:24am Cecile: speaking of the Sears catalog...
	11:25am mike y: Good stuff!
	♥ 11:25am Ike: Herb, actually, I double-checked to make sure it wasn't J.M. because of the content. Definitely 91.5. I used two different radios to be sure. Weird.
	11:26am Cecile: this isnt' the Magic Michael of film, I take it? :D
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @Cecile: Well, I know he's not Magic Mike!
	11:28am Cecile: ahahahahaha, you got it.
	11:29am Cecile: this is hilarious. This might be the "I am so tired of this terrible war" of folk music.
	♥ 11:33am tim from champaign: Cecile, are you referring the recent Matthew McCauneghey and that ther dude movie?
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Wm. Berger just stopped in and says that "Village of the Damned" isn't so bad!
	11:34am Cecile: This makes Antony seem like Karen Carpenter
	11:36am Cecile: OMG is there a recorder in there?
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: "We're all very turned-on, aren't we?"
	11:37am Looms: Hi Joe and all! I've just recieved my Junk Food t-shirt, you guys are fast.
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: Excellent, Looms! Wear it proudly!
	11:38am pgw in mntclr: from now on, when referring to my recent lay-off, i will say "i was abused by fancy pants"
	11:40am Cecile: this is Magic Michael now: www.ispot.tv...
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Cecile: Ooph! The bleaching of the hippie dream.
	11:44am Cecile: na na na hey hey hey
	11:44am pgw in mntclr: Allmusic.com: "Again according to [NME writer Nick] Kent, [Magic Michael] was once booed off-stage at a Hawkwind concert"
	♥ 11:46am Guido (Cologne): A bit of a Steam-"Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye"-rip-off
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: @pgw: This audience (also a Hawkwind audience) seemed to like him! @Guido: Totally, but in a good, autumnal way.
	♥ 11:49am Guido (Cologne): better a good rip-off than a bad own composition. So to say. I appreciate ...
	11:49am pgw in mntclr: i was certainly intrigued
	11:50am Cecile: yes, guido. We saw both back to back...
	11:52am Cecile: also, you can sing losing my religion to this song if you try.
	11:55am herb.nyc: re: JUNK FOOD tee shirt arriving. reminds me of this year's TOM S and TERRE T premiums. they're still in the production process, yes, and weren't mailed out? (it's cool, however, i dont mind waiting)
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Not yet, Herb, hopefully soon. Thanks for listening everyone. Have a great rest of your week!
	♥ 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:57am earrie: Two-eared joyful listening, as ever, Joe.
	11:58am northguineahills: Thanks Joe!
	11:58am capitan: Thanks for the tunes
	11:59am herb.nyc: bill fox just made me cry (well, not really)
	11:59am braveness23: Great show!
	♥ 12:14pm Mike East: oh yeah, herb - I forgot I still have a flashlight to look forward too!

	♥ 9:28am Joe McG: Hi, Michele!!
	♥ 9:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ooh yeah - MaryChain - feeelsgood - (shudderdhuddeer...happy nod)...
	9:29am Cheri Pi: Piano video version youtu.be...
	9:30am Cheri Pi: Good call JMcG :)
	9:34am pgw in mntclr: @Michele i just got back into bed with a morning sandwich
	♥ 9:34am tim from champaign: Hey Joe and yolks!
	♥ 9:37am Planet Tyler: Cheri, thanks for the YT
	♥ 9:37am Michele: @pgw I am so jealous!!!!
	9:38am Cheri Pi: BWW are my favorite band.
	♥ 9:38am Joe McG: Cheri Pi, are you pulling my leg?
	9:40am Cheri Pi: Not in any way! I worship them, have since I was 14.
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: Wow, I'm going to call you Anabella now instead of Bailey!
	9:41am paula pc: I saw Bow Wow Wow live in the mid-late 90s, and it was by far one of the best shows I've ever seen.
	♥ 9:41am common: Cheri. I traded a liquid liquid lp for the first bow wow wow record and a missing persons record. Love em!
	9:42am Cheri Pi: The last time I saw the Melvins this year Brian Walsby drew me a portrait of Annabella.
	9:42am Cheri Pi: So funny common, Missing Persons was the first LP I bought with my own money!
	9:43am Cheri Pi: Paula I saw them on that tour too, it was amazing!!!!!
	♥ 9:45am common: that's a great first lp, cheri.
	9:50am braveness23: jeez, I'm trying to remember what my first album purchase was...
	9:51am Cecile: hahahaha that Boston Incest record is now popular, but you could find it sealed for pennies for a long time
	9:52am Cecile: Mine was Straight in a Gay, Gay World by Skyhooks.
	9:53am braveness23: One thing I know for sure is that whatever my first LP was, Cheri Pi probably now has it. Maybe The Police Zenyatta Mondatta. Actually it was probably a Beatles record but I'm thinking more along the lines of not mainstream stuff.
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: @Cecile: Intriguing first LP! Mine was the second album by the Tubes! No wonder I'm warped.
	9:54am Cecile: yeah, exactly. I listened to other albums, of course, and had my favorites. But that was purchased at an actual record store with my actual money.
	9:56am herb.nyc: RUBINOOS! i so regret not going to the gym of my college, 1980(?), to see them, for they opened for ELVIS C & THE ATTRACTIONS. oh well. (offside - i had my stereo on EVAN F.D.'s show but the reception kept going in / out, beginning ~10.09pm. fook! why couldn't it have happened on 7SD instead??? life is so unfair. anyway, anyone have this problem?)
	♥ 9:57am common: jonathan, quit being so salty!
	10:00am Cecile: no comment, jojo.
	10:03am lisa: I'm really enjoying this set, Joe! It's making me want to listen to my Judys records. :)
	♥ 10:04am tim from champaign: One of the 1st 45s I distinctly remember buying was "The Curly Shuffle". I'm thinking one of the first LPs I bought was Men At Work.
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: Cool, lisa! Ha ha ha, Tim! A lot of my friends had "Business As Usual" and "Cargo."
	10:08am Cecile: Cargo has that amazingly poignant song "Overkill". I didn't like their earlier stuff, but that is a great pop song.
	♥ 10:08am tim from champaign: I think it was "Business As Usual" now that you mention the titles. I still wish I had the Curly Shuffle 45. That still gets some yucks amongst my friends when we name drop that side.
	10:09am Cecile: I have that Bruce Springstone 45. It's actually has Tommy Keene (printed as Keen or Keane on the cover) and his producer Ted Nicely on it.
	10:11am Cecile: nope, no Nicely, just Tommy Keene. good to know.
	10:12am lisa: I particularly liked that Frozen Concentrate track. I'd never heard it or them before. Now I'm gonna have to track down that single.
	10:16am some other guy: That El Congreso song sounds a lot like the the Happy End song Dakeshimitai from the same year. Maybe that's just what 1971 sounded like all 'round the world.
	10:16am Cecile: some other, yeah, pretty much.
	10:17am earrie: Gabor Szabo, ah.
	10:20am Parq: Just seeing the name "Warner Bros-Seven Arts" is dreamily nostalgic. Late 60s pop music on top of it is enough to throw me off work for the whole morning.
	10:20am slater: bappa ba!
	10:22am Faye: nice playlist JMCG!
	♥ 10:22am common: sounds like classical gas.
	♥ 10:23am listener james from westwood: our pisano here is, like beethoven at taco bell, a bit classical gassy. i'm not complaining, now.
	♥ 10:23am listener james from westwood: heh, great minds think alike, common!
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: Hey, Faye! Thanks! @common/james: Yes, I was having a little Mason Williams rip-off fun.
	10:25am Cecile: "now play classical gas"
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Cecile: Everybody knows that one by heart, right?
	♥ 10:26am listener james from westwood: ^^^ primo ref to a primo simpsons ep!
	♥ 10:27am tim from champaign: Early 70s Iran must have been a scene. All of these Persian comps are super groovy.
	10:28am Cecile: I can't count how many times I've watched it. hahahahaha!
	♥ 10:30am tim from champaign: Oops. Turkish. Sorry.... Same goes for the early 7os Turkey.
	♥ 10:31am common: i really wanted to see kiss of the damned because of the director and the great poster art...then i saw the trailer. P U! too bad.
	♥ 10:33am tim from champaign: Sure, Joe, you read Penthouse just for the Jonathan Richman records.....
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @tim: Ha!
	♥ 10:36am Guido (Cologne): I've got an absolute marvelous kind of surf-beat-garage-single by the Turkish guy called Alpay. That was among a stack of Arabesque-singles and that on was an exception.
	10:37am Parq: Michael, some hippie thing, I take it?
	♥ 10:37am Marcel M: man this song is great
	10:37am Cecile: this is a strange and wonderful record
	♥ 10:40am Guido (Cologne): ... this one is nice!
	10:41am Parq: Hah! Sens Alex Harvey's "Delilah" -- thought so! Was just thinking about this record not a whole hour ago.
	10:44am Cecile: dakota!
	10:48am quinn: now this is a great show
	10:48am PKNY: This is a pretty good Kool and the Gang knockoff.
	♥ 10:49am Guido (Cologne): Yep, nice show!
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: Hey, quinn! Hey, PKNY! Hey Guido!
	10:49am KP: Hi Joe. Great stuff this morn.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: Hey, KP, thanks! Havin' a good time, as usual!
	♥ 10:51am common: to add to the praise, joe, this is truly one of the best shows i've heard on fmu this year. good stuff!
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: Shucks, common, you're making me all happy in here.
	♥ 10:56am common: being sincere.
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @common: Very much appreciate it, honest!
	♥ 10:58am tim from champaign: I hear that the new Coen Brothers movie is based on Dave Van Ronk's life.
	10:58am Cecile: what a great vocal here.
	10:59am KP: Lovely DVR. Can't wait for the Coen bros movie.
	♥ 10:59am Joe McG: @tim: You're right on top of it, sir. That's what made me dig this one out.
	♥ 10:59am Ike: On a random note, want to hear about a crazy radio occurrence? This morning, WNYE-91.5 was apparently hijacked by racists for at least a few minutes. Normally they carry WFUV's "Alternate Side" indie music, but just before 7:30, it was a guy talking about how Palestinians are all actually from Jordan and belong there, and that Ariel Sharon is betraying Israel to the left wing (which would be quite a trick given his current condition). Then it abruptly goes back to A.S. in the middle of a song. Bizarre!
	10:59am Parq: Dang, Joe, you have SAHB's "Delilah" and Van Ronk's Joni cover on 45? You are some astute collector.
	♥ 10:59am Mike Noble: @quinn: hi Quinn La Monte
	11:00am Cecile: this is definitely better than the original, I have to say.
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Parq: I wish my 45s were a little mintier, but I enjoy 'em! Glad you do, too.
	11:00am pgw in mntclr: this is a soul-crushingly wonderful cover
	11:00am Cecile: Ike, that sounds kind of insane
	11:02am earrie: Great slew of 45s; I hadn't heard a single one of'em.
	11:03am Cecile: you know she got paid for it.
	11:03am glenn: joni doesn't have much of a sense of humour about anything, to be honest.
	11:05am KP: Thanks for tip on book. I've read a few but not that one. What a treat that guy was,
	11:05am some other guy: suuuuure you don't know what that means.
	11:05am Cecile: That means he's going to the barn to look at the ladies underwear section and well...
	♥ 11:09am Mike Noble: @Joe McG: thanks for plugging the av lounge!
	11:10am glenn: hey, apparently andy kaufman is still alive. www.torontosun.com...
	♥ 11:11am tim from champaign: Who you talking about, Cecile? Blowfly? hee hee
	11:12am Cecile: hahahaha, no the hippie from the hills...
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: @Mike: No problem, Mike! Thanks for helping us out again for another great year. Feel free to share any choice items you might have planned right here in this space.
	11:14am bobdoesthings: pigpen?
	♥ 11:15am Mike East: Hey guys! Is there a place I can find out who the fill ins were earlier this week? I know there have been a bunch and I can't remember who I'm looking for.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: I can help, Mike. When were you listening?
	♥ 11:16am Mike Noble: @Joe McG: can I expect you at the screening of "be glad for the song has no ending" on sunday night?
	♥ 11:16am Mike East: oh wait, think I found it...It was Steve Krinsky.
	♥ 11:16am Mike East: @Joe McG - I'm ALWAYS listening :)
	11:17am Jeff: @Joe: "I don't need to read this from a piece of paper." Bill O: "I'll write it, and we'll do it live!" www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Mike: Well, I'm selling records on Sunday, so I don't know, but I'm DYING to see that movie, so maybe I can wrap up early and come over....
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Jeff: Ha ha!
	♥ 11:19am Mike Noble: @Joe McG: I will be leaving town early Sunday, but I'll tell whoever is volunteering in the room (possibly andrea) to give you the DVD after it's over.
	11:20am herb.nyc: re: WNYE, kinda like a NON-J.M. IN THE A.M.
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: @Mike: You are the best!
	11:24am Cecile: speaking of the Sears catalog...
	11:25am mike y: Good stuff!
	♥ 11:25am Ike: Herb, actually, I double-checked to make sure it wasn't J.M. because of the content. Definitely 91.5. I used two different radios to be sure. Weird.
	11:26am Cecile: this isnt' the Magic Michael of film, I take it? :D
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @Cecile: Well, I know he's not Magic Mike!
	11:28am Cecile: ahahahahaha, you got it.
	11:29am Cecile: this is hilarious. This might be the "I am so tired of this terrible war" of folk music.
	♥ 11:33am tim from champaign: Cecile, are you referring the recent Matthew McCauneghey and that ther dude movie?
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Wm. Berger just stopped in and says that "Village of the Damned" isn't so bad!
	11:34am Cecile: This makes Antony seem like Karen Carpenter
	11:36am Cecile: OMG is there a recorder in there?
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: "We're all very turned-on, aren't we?"
	11:37am Looms: Hi Joe and all! I've just recieved my Junk Food t-shirt, you guys are fast.
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: Excellent, Looms! Wear it proudly!
	11:38am pgw in mntclr: from now on, when referring to my recent lay-off, i will say "i was abused by fancy pants"
	11:40am Cecile: this is Magic Michael now: www.ispot.tv...
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Cecile: Ooph! The bleaching of the hippie dream.
	11:44am Cecile: na na na hey hey hey
	11:44am pgw in mntclr: Allmusic.com: "Again according to [NME writer Nick] Kent, [Magic Michael] was once booed off-stage at a Hawkwind concert"
	♥ 11:46am Guido (Cologne): A bit of a Steam-"Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye"-rip-off
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: @pgw: This audience (also a Hawkwind audience) seemed to like him! @Guido: Totally, but in a good, autumnal way.
	♥ 11:49am Guido (Cologne): better a good rip-off than a bad own composition. So to say. I appreciate ...
	11:49am pgw in mntclr: i was certainly intrigued
	11:50am Cecile: yes, guido. We saw both back to back...
	11:52am Cecile: also, you can sing losing my religion to this song if you try.
	11:55am herb.nyc: re: JUNK FOOD tee shirt arriving. reminds me of this year's TOM S and TERRE T premiums. they're still in the production process, yes, and weren't mailed out? (it's cool, however, i dont mind waiting)
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Not yet, Herb, hopefully soon. Thanks for listening everyone. Have a great rest of your week!
	♥ 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:57am earrie: Two-eared joyful listening, as ever, Joe.
	11:58am northguineahills: Thanks Joe!
	11:58am capitan: Thanks for the tunes
	11:59am herb.nyc: bill fox just made me cry (well, not really)
	11:59am braveness23: Great show!
	♥ 12:14pm Mike East: oh yeah, herb - I forgot I still have a flashlight to look forward too!
