	9:08am mike east: Morning joe.
	9:08am Joe McG: The flute haters have not shown up yet. Where are they?
	9:09am van: Nice & airy.
	9:09am DCE: I'm a flute-lover, flute-supporter, what have you
	9:09am monodons: Flute haters? It's this least hatable instrument
	9:09am Joe McG: @doca: He might have! If he did, though, he forgot to initial the copy at the station. Oh, Kurt! I thought I was first!
	9:10am van: I absoflutely love this
	9:10am Berg: the clarinetists have a hangover this morning
	9:11am Joe McG: She's playing 11 flutes on this, by the way. Presumably not all at once.
	9:12am fred: @Joe: They've all joined the TSA, so plan for delays next time you fly somewhere: www.artsjournal.com...
	9:13am van: 11? I'd love to see a live performance
	👻 9:13am 12539: Eleven's not bad, but is she standing on only one leg?
	9:13am Sean B.: Great stuff. She (Clair) is one gifted lady. Morning Joe & all.
	9:14am Gouda: I betcha' that if Jean Luc Ponty played flute it would sound something like this. Good Morning DJ Joe McGasko
	9:15am David L.B. is RRN63: ...wull - I could provide the NewHampshuh Counterpoint...one last Thur. off to bug y'all...
	9:16am Guido (Cologne): Not Twink the drummer (Pink Fairies etc.) I guess.
	9:17am Joe McG: @Guido: No, this is the toy piana Twinkster.
	9:17am common: man, jean luc ponty! haven't heard that name since the 70s.
	9:18am fred: @RRN63: There is a version of "violin phase" called "electric guitar phase", so there's precedent. You could use 11 guitars instead of 11 flutes
	9:18am doca: @Joe: Will you play Ron Burgundy's jazz flute solo?
	9:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Twink Twink new generation star - how we wonder who you are...
	9:20am Joe McG: @doca: Only if he comes here and plays it live.
	👻 9:20am tim from champaign: These flautists are competent and all but they are lacking the topless, hairy power of Herbie Mann.
	9:20am Guido (Cologne): @Joe do you know that ensemple from Poland who performed Chopin on toy pianos? (CD came with awesome book about toy pianos, unfortunately in Polish only)
	9:21am DCE: thanks, TfC, now I have the album cover image in my brain. Hairynips, anyone?
	9:21am Joe McG: @tim: Now you're talking! It's been almost a month since I played Herbie Mann. Have to rectify that soon. @Guido: No, but they sound cool!
	9:23am doca: @Joe: WFMU should make a Ron Burgundy's live session sometime!
	9:23am Guido (Cologne): @joe maleinstrumenty.pl... Seen them perform. Awesome!
	9:24am Joe McG: @DCE: Hairynips, that new band from Melbourne.
	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: =o==o==o=n@D ___ _\m/______

	9:31am bibi: hi all, playing 2014 mogwai in 2014, that's daring.
	9:32am Joe McG: @Michele: You're always right, so it's no problem!
	9:34am Joe McG: @bibi: I'm hip and with it.
	9:35am Marcel M: I CHOOSE SATAN!

	9:36am paula pc: GREAT SHOW, Joe!
	9:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alice Cooper: 'I knew Syd Barrett - he was the kinda guy who'd pass you the salt before you asked for it'...

	9:38am Joe McG: 2014 is the best! Thanks, paula pc!
	9:38am kTTT: Joe, I thought I would let you see my username before I succumb to the man upstairs. Pretty annoying rightttt?
	9:39am mike east: This is the fmu single of the week
	9:39am Michele: Mogwai releases its own whiskey - thequietus.com...
	9:39am Marcel M: Ken yelled at you for having too many Ts yesterday. They have multiplied!

	9:47am Creepy Uncle Stanley: The Strawbs blew my mind in a vintage kinda way.
	9:48am dale: morning people. i didn't recognize the strawbs there. after hero and heroine kinda lost me.
	9:48am P-90: Let's hear it for ridiculous Prog epics! Good Morning Joe McG. You may be JM in the AM 2, but you're #1 in my book. Even if you mock ladies who fall down the stairs and die
	9:49am bibi: no, i missed the 'way through' tune. they are brilliant ! thx joe, play them again and again please..
	9:49am herb.nyc: joe is JM in the AM 2? odd, he doesn't look jewish.
	9:51am dale: i bought my wife a cd at a dollar store once - 'los punkos'. exactly what it sounds like.
	9:52am Dr. Goot: Good Morning - Digging Las Chinas!!!
	9:52am Davee: Yah!
	9:53am Stanley The Meat Guy: How do I save this episode? I feel like I am listening to the radical radio for the fantastical first time..
	9:53am earrie: Good morning, too. And music yeah yeah-yeah.
	9:54am Joe McG: @stanley: It's the now sounds from the radical soundwave, woo hoo! @bibi: I shall!
	9:54am SeanG: Athens!
	9:55am KevinfromBayRidge: Morning all. Nice to turn on the radio (Well...Android App) and hear "Stairway" gittin ripped for whatever reason and Strawbs gittin played for whatever genre! Tanks Joe
	9:57am bibi: i think pylon gave birth to a 90s french noise scene, including heliogabale, you might like them joe.
	9:58am bibi: not only pylon of course, but this tune really reminds me of that scene's sound.
	9:59am Slim Slacks: I never met a flute lover before. Maybe I never will...
	9:59am Joe McG: Eating dub for breakfast right NOW!
	10:02am fred: @bibi: speaking of french noise -- though harsher -- Sister Iodine is playing tonight: www.instantschavires.com...
	10:02am Slim Slack: Xex is the best.
	10:02am KP: What was that Led Zeppelin song Sandy Denny sang on, "Stairway to ..."?
	10:03am bibi: @fred, haa instants chavires ! im pretty sure we've already met there. i'll check them out, thx.
	10:04am Joe McG: @KP: "Stairway to Evermore."
	10:04am dc pat: hey, long time listener, first time commenter....well not really...
	10:05am KP: Oh yeah
	10:06am Joe McG: @dc pat: Did you eat dishonesty for breakfast?
	10:06am fred: @bibi: that's most likely, though neither of us looks like our avatar
	10:06am LongTime Commenter: ...1st Time Listener ...hey ! - they broadcast Music along w/ this !!...It'll never catch on...
	10:07am dc pat: sheesh...sometimes I just don't know what to say...
	10:07am Joe McG: @dc pat: You need more dub in your diet! :)
	10:08am DCE: I was wondrin' where you was at pat!
	10:08am herb.nyc: yay, JENS is so sweet; he strikes me as a very goofy fellow. (i named my ipod touch JENS LEKMAN)
	10:10am bibi: @fred, how dare you ? people tell me everyday i look like daniele gilbert...
	10:10am dc pat: JoeMcG: you are correct sir DCE: I have to shake up my schedule every once in a while.
	10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hm - DGilbert looks like a cross of ShirlyJones & the blonde from ABBA...not sure it's as good as it sounds...
	10:15am Dr. Goot: This is a great set Mr McG, thanks!
	10:15am van: Anni-Frid? (Frida)
	10:16am bc: great set for my morning. thanks!
	10:16am Greg from Bloomfield: Oh HELL yes, Soul Bones...
	10:17am PKNY: Not finding any lyrics to this Trammps track, is the chorus "Ride on my soul bone", or "Right on, my soul bone"?
	10:17am map: this song is ridic-ulous
	10:17am dale: party bone connected to the funky bone connected to the love bone....does it get any better than that?!
	10:17am Joe McG: RR63: Funny you should bring up Shirley Jones. Stay tuned! @Goot and bc: Thanks, fun!
	10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no - Anni-Frid is the brunette ♏Scorpio, apparently...
	10:21am van: Ah, Agnetha then
	10:22am Sem Chumbo: OK, Joe, Shirley Jones challenge accepted. shirleyjones.net...
	10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Agnetha - ♈Aries, Year of the Fire Tiger. Lookout !!...
	10:24am Joe McG: @Sen: "I've Still Got My Heart, Joe," she sings. I don't think so!
	10:24am bibi: you win, i'll look for another avatar pic...
	10:24am Sem Chumbo: Oh, boy. I bet it's THAT one. A 45, I see.
	10:24am Greg from Bloomfield: Three clicky stars in a row. UNPRECEDENTED.
	10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I hate Robyn Hitchcock covers...
	10:25am Sem Chumbo: @Joe: Say it ain't so...
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hitchcock: 'Bones in the Wind'... - aw - bibi !...
	10:31am Stanley The Cat Guy: HOW DARE YOU PLAY A SONG ABOUT ABUSING MY CATS!!!! Actually it's pronounced SEX not ZEX.
	10:33am Joe McG: @Stanley: Thanks you for protesting, I feel much better. I LIKE saying "Zex"! It sounds zexy.
	10:33am van: Holy cow. I actually remember this song
	10:34am Sem Chumbo: Holy Cowsills, I do to.
	10:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Holy Cowsils. I WORSHIP SATAN ! ...I do, however, thoroughly denounce being mean to kiggykats...
	10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - jinx Sem...
	10:35am Sem Chumbo: Synchronicity, man.
	10:36am V Priceless: Cool! Rotary Connection!!
	10:37am KP: Rotary Connection had other singers?
	10:38am KP: Besides Minnie Ripperton?
	10:38am Joe McG: OH yeah, KP. Check out the raving cover of "Soul Man." My favorite RT vocal and it's not even Minnie!
	10:39am RMD: That Rotary Connection tune rules. Guitar going nuts the entire time.
	10:40am V Priceless: RC did some nutty cover versions!
	10:40am PKNY: Just how many songs does Johnny Taylor have about "Jody"? The whole "Songs" record by Rotary Connection is full of crazy covers. Their version of "Sunshine of your Love" totally slays.
	10:41am Joe McG: @PKNY: I think JT has about 5,432 songs about Jody.
	10:42am van: That was great!
	10:42am PKNY: Jody is one busy man to deserve so many songs. Dude gets around, don't let 'em steal your woman!
	10:44am Joe McG: Today's PSA: Watch Out for Jody!
	10:48am KT: Wait BETTER PSA --- HIRE KATIE!!!!!!!! KATIE FOR HIRE!! MUST PAY DECENTLY!!
	10:49am Guido (Cologne): almost right in time back. @KP Sidney Barnes was the male singer with Rotary Connection. He made singels of his own (Northern Soul classics) ... except for the last RC-abum, bit that was an entirely different line up.
	10:50am Joe McG: @Guido: Thanks, Guido! That last album was by "The New Rotary Connection," so they kind of covered their assets.
	10:50am LovecraftDude888: ok I'm awake now....was wiped out last night. busy plotting the 2nd Lufthansa heist. not going well
	10:52am Guido (Cologne): As far as i remember, first Minnie Riperton and last RC were the same session-people.
	10:54am LovecraftDude888: anti bellum auntybellum anti skullum haa
	10:55am Guido (Cologne): Blue Eyed Pussy Cat .... GREAT!!!
	10:57am Joe McG: @Lovecraft: Sing along with the Sircus!
	👻 10:58am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Ah Penny's late lamented brother. At least in this house
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: What time is face-off?
	11:06am davefromknoxville: dfk is in da hoose
	👻 11:07am Brian in UK: John Martyn has the first CD single released over here or maybe the world.
	11:11am Joe McG: Is that right, Brian? Poor John. They sawed off his leg towards the end.
	11:13am Dave from Knoxville: This is the song Mumford and Sons stole all of their sings from, isn't it?
	11:15am Dave from Knoxville: Hey Joe, I know I owe you money; we had three hospitalizations last year, and it's slowed my repay, but I will eventually get it to you.
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: He was his own worst enemy, Joe. Funny I played 'Solid Air' last week, still sounds sweet.
	11:16am Goyim in the AM: Ah, Jim O'Rourke. What should have been a delightful 2 minute cover becomes an endless annoying deathslog.
	11:17am earrie: "May You Never" is a fine track on that solid air album, too.
	11:17am Carmichael: Good morning Joe and Friday Eve'rs.
	11:17am van: It'll take longer than this song though...
	11:18am Joe McG: @earrie: That's the B-side of the single! I couldn't decide which side to play. Then I noticed the "evil."
	11:20am maestroso: That Jim O'Rourke track was very nice.
	👻 11:22am Brian in UK: You made the right choice, Joe. May You Never always gets played despite being good the other songs get lost in its shadow.
	11:22am Goyim in the AM: 15% of that Jim O'Rourke track was lovely.
	👻 11:23am Brian in UK: How's about 20%. You must like a fifth!
	11:23am Charlie: He had to make it long enough to be sure that the women in all the time zones heard it.
	11:24am earrie: Yeah, what Brian said. And "I'd Rather be the Devil" is played even less.
	11:25am Joe McG: Charlie! Come back soon.
	11:26am LovecraftDude888: I'm gonna be on and off but listening as I roam around this afternoon....boo ya
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: I second that emotion, Joe. Come back big ears.
	11:26am Charlie: Thanks Joe, may be a while... Glad you're here!
	11:27am bibi: not not fun, thats a nice label.
	11:28am earrie: (Love the guitar opening -- youtu.be... )
	11:28am Joe McG: Thanks, Charlie! Booya, Lovecraft!
	11:31am listener james from westwood: my favorite cover of "major tom" since "breaking bad."
	11:31am Joe McG: @listener james: I like this better than the original!
	11:33am KT: wow Space Lady rules
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: @earrie. I remember watching that programme when it was first on the TV. What an eye & ear opener on a par with seeing Jimi Hendrix play Purple Haze on Top of the Pops for the first time.
	11:37am Cheri Pi: Snow delay but finally here!! Heya McGaskots!
	11:38am earrie: @Brian. Wow. No doubt. ..and that's an acoustic guitar..
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: It has been a good twelve months for acoustic guitar.
	11:42am Joe McG: Hey, Cheri Pi! Sorry your snow was delayed!
	11:43am Kevlicki: Amusing, the previous song that sparked my interest happens to be Mr Ron Morelli. I knew Ron when he lived in New Paltz. He contributed a lot of effort to the DIY scene there in the late nineties, organizing shows and singing in Devola. Some really good times!
	11:44am Kevlicki: @JoeMcg I have to agree with you, that major tom version is really good
	11:44am bibi: thats a patented science museum soundtrack.
	11:44am Carmichael: OK, gotta put the nose to the limestone. But' I'll be keeping an ear on you, so don't try anything funny.
	11:45am Joe McG: @Kevlicki: A man inspired by prostitute spit can't be all bad.
	11:50am common: sleeeeeepy
	11:51am Dr. Goot: Thanks for yet another great show Joe!
	11:52am Joe McG: Winding down to a sleepy crawl...Diane will be along shortly to give you a kick up the pants! Thanks for listening, everybody! Seize you next week.
	11:52am Sem Chumbo: Really a good time listening along this am, Joe. Catch up with you next time!
	11:53am SeanG: thanks for the show, Joe
	11:53am earrie: Many thanks for the fine listening and and.
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yessir - damn fine.
	11:56am Guido (Cologne): Thanks for the music Joe!
	11:56am northguineahills: Darn, missed Patrick Cowley, but the last three songs have been great! Thanks for the music!
	11:57am ddd: Jimmie Spheeris 45. Pretty cool.
	11:58am doca: Thanks for the show, Joe.
	11:58am bibi: thx joe, way through again please.
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: Nice one Joe. Loved Jimmie Spheeris' album 'Isle of View' say it quickly.
	👻 11:59am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	12:40pm van: Did that O'Rourke song end yet...?
	2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Agnetha - b. 1950 - METAL Tiger. Sorry Agnetha !
	3:28pm Holly in NC: Joe, Joe..... ;-) I knew you were joshing w. your cat songs, because you are a good man. IF you ever want to really tease a cat, try "Here, Kitty, Kitty" by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet (obviously, I am NOT a good woman)

	9:09am van: Nice & airy.
	9:09am DCE: I'm a flute-lover, flute-supporter, what have you
	9:09am monodons: Flute haters? It's this least hatable instrument
	9:09am Joe McG: @doca: He might have! If he did, though, he forgot to initial the copy at the station. Oh, Kurt! I thought I was first!
	9:10am van: I absoflutely love this
	9:10am Berg: the clarinetists have a hangover this morning
	9:11am Joe McG: She's playing 11 flutes on this, by the way. Presumably not all at once.

	9:13am Sean B.: Great stuff. She (Clair) is one gifted lady. Morning Joe & all.

	9:17am common: man, jean luc ponty! haven't heard that name since the 70s.
	9:18am fred: @RRN63: There is a version of "violin phase" called "electric guitar phase", so there's precedent. You could use 11 guitars instead of 11 flutes
	9:18am doca: @Joe: Will you play Ron Burgundy's jazz flute solo?
	9:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Twink Twink new generation star - how we wonder who you are...
	9:20am Joe McG: @doca: Only if he comes here and plays it live.
	👻 9:20am tim from champaign: These flautists are competent and all but they are lacking the topless, hairy power of Herbie Mann.
	9:20am Guido (Cologne): @Joe do you know that ensemple from Poland who performed Chopin on toy pianos? (CD came with awesome book about toy pianos, unfortunately in Polish only)
	9:21am DCE: thanks, TfC, now I have the album cover image in my brain. Hairynips, anyone?
	9:21am Joe McG: @tim: Now you're talking! It's been almost a month since I played Herbie Mann. Have to rectify that soon. @Guido: No, but they sound cool!

	9:48am P-90: Let's hear it for ridiculous Prog epics! Good Morning Joe McG. You may be JM in the AM 2, but you're #1 in my book. Even if you mock ladies who fall down the stairs and die
	9:49am bibi: no, i missed the 'way through' tune. they are brilliant ! thx joe, play them again and again please..
	9:49am herb.nyc: joe is JM in the AM 2? odd, he doesn't look jewish.

	9:52am Dr. Goot: Good Morning - Digging Las Chinas!!!
	9:52am Davee: Yah!
	9:53am Stanley The Meat Guy: How do I save this episode? I feel like I am listening to the radical radio for the fantastical first time..

	9:54am Joe McG: @stanley: It's the now sounds from the radical soundwave, woo hoo! @bibi: I shall!
	9:54am SeanG: Athens!
	9:55am KevinfromBayRidge: Morning all. Nice to turn on the radio (Well...Android App) and hear "Stairway" gittin ripped for whatever reason and Strawbs gittin played for whatever genre! Tanks Joe
	9:57am bibi: i think pylon gave birth to a 90s french noise scene, including heliogabale, you might like them joe.
	9:58am bibi: not only pylon of course, but this tune really reminds me of that scene's sound.
	9:59am Slim Slacks: I never met a flute lover before. Maybe I never will...

	10:06am LongTime Commenter: ...1st Time Listener ...hey ! - they broadcast Music along w/ this !!...It'll never catch on...
	10:07am dc pat: sheesh...sometimes I just don't know what to say...

	10:08am DCE: I was wondrin' where you was at pat!
	10:08am herb.nyc: yay, JENS is so sweet; he strikes me as a very goofy fellow. (i named my ipod touch JENS LEKMAN)

	10:10am dc pat: JoeMcG: you are correct sir DCE: I have to shake up my schedule every once in a while.
	10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hm - DGilbert looks like a cross of ShirlyJones & the blonde from ABBA...not sure it's as good as it sounds...
	10:15am Dr. Goot: This is a great set Mr McG, thanks!
	10:15am van: Anni-Frid? (Frida)
	10:16am bc: great set for my morning. thanks!
	10:16am Greg from Bloomfield: Oh HELL yes, Soul Bones...
	10:17am PKNY: Not finding any lyrics to this Trammps track, is the chorus "Ride on my soul bone", or "Right on, my soul bone"?
	10:17am map: this song is ridic-ulous
	10:17am dale: party bone connected to the funky bone connected to the love bone....does it get any better than that?!
	10:17am Joe McG: RR63: Funny you should bring up Shirley Jones. Stay tuned! @Goot and bc: Thanks, fun!
	10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no - Anni-Frid is the brunette ♏Scorpio, apparently...
	10:21am van: Ah, Agnetha then
	10:22am Sem Chumbo: OK, Joe, Shirley Jones challenge accepted. shirleyjones.net...
	10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Agnetha - ♈Aries, Year of the Fire Tiger. Lookout !!...
	10:24am Joe McG: @Sen: "I've Still Got My Heart, Joe," she sings. I don't think so!
	10:24am bibi: you win, i'll look for another avatar pic...
	10:24am Sem Chumbo: Oh, boy. I bet it's THAT one. A 45, I see.
	10:24am Greg from Bloomfield: Three clicky stars in a row. UNPRECEDENTED.
	10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I hate Robyn Hitchcock covers...
	10:25am Sem Chumbo: @Joe: Say it ain't so...
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hitchcock: 'Bones in the Wind'... - aw - bibi !...
	10:31am Stanley The Cat Guy: HOW DARE YOU PLAY A SONG ABOUT ABUSING MY CATS!!!! Actually it's pronounced SEX not ZEX.
	10:33am Joe McG: @Stanley: Thanks you for protesting, I feel much better. I LIKE saying "Zex"! It sounds zexy.
	10:33am van: Holy cow. I actually remember this song
	10:34am Sem Chumbo: Holy Cowsills, I do to.
	10:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Holy Cowsils. I WORSHIP SATAN ! ...I do, however, thoroughly denounce being mean to kiggykats...
	10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - jinx Sem...
	10:35am Sem Chumbo: Synchronicity, man.
	10:36am V Priceless: Cool! Rotary Connection!!
	10:37am KP: Rotary Connection had other singers?
	10:38am KP: Besides Minnie Ripperton?
	10:38am Joe McG: OH yeah, KP. Check out the raving cover of "Soul Man." My favorite RT vocal and it's not even Minnie!
	10:39am RMD: That Rotary Connection tune rules. Guitar going nuts the entire time.
	10:40am V Priceless: RC did some nutty cover versions!
	10:40am PKNY: Just how many songs does Johnny Taylor have about "Jody"? The whole "Songs" record by Rotary Connection is full of crazy covers. Their version of "Sunshine of your Love" totally slays.
	10:41am Joe McG: @PKNY: I think JT has about 5,432 songs about Jody.
	10:42am van: That was great!
	10:42am PKNY: Jody is one busy man to deserve so many songs. Dude gets around, don't let 'em steal your woman!
	10:44am Joe McG: Today's PSA: Watch Out for Jody!
	10:48am KT: Wait BETTER PSA --- HIRE KATIE!!!!!!!! KATIE FOR HIRE!! MUST PAY DECENTLY!!
	10:49am Guido (Cologne): almost right in time back. @KP Sidney Barnes was the male singer with Rotary Connection. He made singels of his own (Northern Soul classics) ... except for the last RC-abum, bit that was an entirely different line up.
	10:50am Joe McG: @Guido: Thanks, Guido! That last album was by "The New Rotary Connection," so they kind of covered their assets.
	10:50am LovecraftDude888: ok I'm awake now....was wiped out last night. busy plotting the 2nd Lufthansa heist. not going well
	10:52am Guido (Cologne): As far as i remember, first Minnie Riperton and last RC were the same session-people.
	10:54am LovecraftDude888: anti bellum auntybellum anti skullum haa
	10:55am Guido (Cologne): Blue Eyed Pussy Cat .... GREAT!!!
	10:57am Joe McG: @Lovecraft: Sing along with the Sircus!
	👻 10:58am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Ah Penny's late lamented brother. At least in this house
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: What time is face-off?
	11:06am davefromknoxville: dfk is in da hoose
	👻 11:07am Brian in UK: John Martyn has the first CD single released over here or maybe the world.
	11:11am Joe McG: Is that right, Brian? Poor John. They sawed off his leg towards the end.
	11:13am Dave from Knoxville: This is the song Mumford and Sons stole all of their sings from, isn't it?
	11:15am Dave from Knoxville: Hey Joe, I know I owe you money; we had three hospitalizations last year, and it's slowed my repay, but I will eventually get it to you.
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: He was his own worst enemy, Joe. Funny I played 'Solid Air' last week, still sounds sweet.
	11:16am Goyim in the AM: Ah, Jim O'Rourke. What should have been a delightful 2 minute cover becomes an endless annoying deathslog.
	11:17am earrie: "May You Never" is a fine track on that solid air album, too.
	11:17am Carmichael: Good morning Joe and Friday Eve'rs.
	11:17am van: It'll take longer than this song though...
	11:18am Joe McG: @earrie: That's the B-side of the single! I couldn't decide which side to play. Then I noticed the "evil."
	11:20am maestroso: That Jim O'Rourke track was very nice.
	👻 11:22am Brian in UK: You made the right choice, Joe. May You Never always gets played despite being good the other songs get lost in its shadow.
	11:22am Goyim in the AM: 15% of that Jim O'Rourke track was lovely.
	👻 11:23am Brian in UK: How's about 20%. You must like a fifth!
	11:23am Charlie: He had to make it long enough to be sure that the women in all the time zones heard it.
	11:24am earrie: Yeah, what Brian said. And "I'd Rather be the Devil" is played even less.
	11:25am Joe McG: Charlie! Come back soon.
	11:26am LovecraftDude888: I'm gonna be on and off but listening as I roam around this afternoon....boo ya
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: I second that emotion, Joe. Come back big ears.
	11:26am Charlie: Thanks Joe, may be a while... Glad you're here!
	11:27am bibi: not not fun, thats a nice label.
	11:28am earrie: (Love the guitar opening -- youtu.be... )
	11:28am Joe McG: Thanks, Charlie! Booya, Lovecraft!
	11:31am listener james from westwood: my favorite cover of "major tom" since "breaking bad."
	11:31am Joe McG: @listener james: I like this better than the original!
	11:33am KT: wow Space Lady rules
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: @earrie. I remember watching that programme when it was first on the TV. What an eye & ear opener on a par with seeing Jimi Hendrix play Purple Haze on Top of the Pops for the first time.
	11:37am Cheri Pi: Snow delay but finally here!! Heya McGaskots!
	11:38am earrie: @Brian. Wow. No doubt. ..and that's an acoustic guitar..
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: It has been a good twelve months for acoustic guitar.
	11:42am Joe McG: Hey, Cheri Pi! Sorry your snow was delayed!
	11:43am Kevlicki: Amusing, the previous song that sparked my interest happens to be Mr Ron Morelli. I knew Ron when he lived in New Paltz. He contributed a lot of effort to the DIY scene there in the late nineties, organizing shows and singing in Devola. Some really good times!
	11:44am Kevlicki: @JoeMcg I have to agree with you, that major tom version is really good
	11:44am bibi: thats a patented science museum soundtrack.
	11:44am Carmichael: OK, gotta put the nose to the limestone. But' I'll be keeping an ear on you, so don't try anything funny.
	11:45am Joe McG: @Kevlicki: A man inspired by prostitute spit can't be all bad.
	11:50am common: sleeeeeepy
	11:51am Dr. Goot: Thanks for yet another great show Joe!
	11:52am Joe McG: Winding down to a sleepy crawl...Diane will be along shortly to give you a kick up the pants! Thanks for listening, everybody! Seize you next week.
	11:52am Sem Chumbo: Really a good time listening along this am, Joe. Catch up with you next time!
	11:53am SeanG: thanks for the show, Joe
	11:53am earrie: Many thanks for the fine listening and and.
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yessir - damn fine.
	11:56am Guido (Cologne): Thanks for the music Joe!
	11:56am northguineahills: Darn, missed Patrick Cowley, but the last three songs have been great! Thanks for the music!
	11:57am ddd: Jimmie Spheeris 45. Pretty cool.
	11:58am doca: Thanks for the show, Joe.
	11:58am bibi: thx joe, way through again please.
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: Nice one Joe. Loved Jimmie Spheeris' album 'Isle of View' say it quickly.
	👻 11:59am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	12:40pm van: Did that O'Rourke song end yet...?
	2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Agnetha - b. 1950 - METAL Tiger. Sorry Agnetha !
	3:28pm Holly in NC: Joe, Joe..... ;-) I knew you were joshing w. your cat songs, because you are a good man. IF you ever want to really tease a cat, try "Here, Kitty, Kitty" by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet (obviously, I am NOT a good woman)
