	♥ 9:09am 12539: Snap snap!
	♥ 9:09am Joe McG: @doca: Full of pep! Or ready to snap, one or the other.
	♥ 9:09am DCE: god I am whatever the opposite of snappy is today...three Titan IPAs did me in last night
	9:10am KP: Snap it pal
	9:11am doca: @Joe: what is pep? haha googled it and got it here
	♥ 9:11am common: @dce: i'm with you.
	♥ 9:11am Joe McG: @DCE: Don't worry, we're taking it slow this morning!
	9:12am doca: People talk about the German language, but I feel English really has a word for everything. And it's worse because the words are smaller, you can't just guess seeing what a part of it means
	9:14am northguineahills: Nothing like the yip yips going boing boing to put a spring in my morning step.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15am Bonesy Maroney: This is exactly what I needed this morning!
	9:15am northguineahills: got a pumpernickel bagel w/ whitefish salad. oh happy!
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: @doca: English has a lot of words for a lot of things, but there are still many things you can say in other languages much more easily.
	♥ 9:17am TR In MI: Dreamy vibes coming from these... dreamy vibes. Nice way to start the day.
	9:17am doca: @Joe: that's true. By the way, this is one of my favorite songs ever. It always makes me feel cozy.
	♥ 9:17am Guido from Cologne: German is notorious for lengthy composites and complex grammar, isn't it?
	9:19am doca: @Guido: yeah, but the words are like hieroglyphs, you can just decompose them and get the meaning
	♥ 9:20am DCE: @ngh, sorry, that doesn't sound appealing right now!
	9:23am dc pat: 23 minutes late!!
	9:24am fred von helsing: @doca finnish assembles compound words the same way as german and it does wonders for general scientific literacy. it's not a "globe" it's an "earthball".
	9:25am doca: @fred: haha love that non-abstract figurative way of thinking
	♥ 9:25am Sem Chumbo: @FVH: hahaha. Morning', Joe and all earthball dwellers.
	9:25am braveness23: Bigmouth23 Strikes Again! Morning everyone!
	♥ 9:28am Joe McG: @dcpat: Oh no, you missed the part of the show where I killed them softly with my song.
	♥ 9:31am common: are you the only one, joe? thought so.
	9:32am Parq: And indeed you are.
	9:32am dc pat: DAMMIT, Joe! Hey, while I have your attention, got any Mekons on you?
	♥ 9:32am DCE: Joe, do you fall asleep to this tune every night?
	♥ 9:32am Michele: JOE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE!!!!
	♥ 9:33am Sem Chumbo: Shameful self promotion. That's the spirit.
	9:33am dc pat: this tune is hilarious!
	♥ 9:33am 12539: I can't wait for Part II.
	9:34am Brendan: Hi joe good morn.
	9:36am ?: Just got here, looks like i missed a nice set... looking forward to the next
	♥ 9:36am 12539: There's nothing obscure about the fact that your show used to feature 78 rpm records.
	9:38am Alessia: Joe they don't mention this on the doc about Death, do they?
	♥ 9:42am Joe McG: @Alessia: I don't remember them mentioning it, actually. Anybody know for sure?
	♥ 9:42am Joe McG: MICHELE! @12539: I guess not, but I'm never sure who remembers that!
	9:43am Alessia: They could have gone back to it when the publisher was requiring it, it's not a bad name. Well...it's a starclick anyway.
	9:45am Cheri Pi: Add one more girl, CP signing in
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: @CP: Hello, mon lovely adoptive parent!
	9:51am Chapel Hillian: Anyone else hear shades of Mark Mothersbaugh in the 1-800 singer? I also hear some "Come Back Johnny"
	♥ 9:51am mariano: Good morning, all!
	9:52am Cheri Pi: Son!!
	9:54am Irene: Eow, I'd forgotten how great Dwight Twilley was. Great set overall, Joe!
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: Hi, Irene! Thanks! :)
	10:03am Cecile: hola!!!!
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: Heya, Cecile!
	10:05am βrian: Good morning. Velvet crêpe skies over the isthmus today.
	10:05am Cecile: I love me some Dwight Twilley. You know what's a great buried powerpop song by someone you wouldn't expect? Heaven Sent from INXS. From Welcome to Wherever You are.
	10:05am doca: Hi, Cecile!
	♥ 10:06am ChrisB.: The drummer in Bok Bok seems to be finding plenty to do.
	♥ 10:06am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Hey Joe, missed you at the station yesterday. Next time I'm only coming in if you're working.
	10:07am Cecile: hey doca!
	10:08am Brendan: Nice jazz flute in the bed music!
	10:08am Cecile: I also realized that I knew the song "Shark" from the Great Lost Dwight Twilley Record.
	10:09am βrian: I'm imagining something similar to clogging with those scuba divers... (I missed the track.)
	10:10am Cecile: Keh-LICE
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: @Cecile: Oops! I also mispronounce "Chimera."
	10:12am Cecile: No big. Oh, dude better spill some coffee on Kelis soon. She sounds too happy.
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: @Cecile: That's 'cause she kicked Nas to the curb.
	10:14am Cheri Pi: Cecile! I've been missing you
	10:15am Cecile: I know. But he inspired some great stuff from her. hahahhah. I'm glad she's happier, though.
	10:15am Cecile: It has been hell week this week. School drama. Work drama. Over both.
	10:16am Cecile: I still want to have "I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW" as my iphone ringtone when I finally cave and get one 10 years from now.
	10:16am kirk from beer city usa: nice to be greeted by Prince upon tuning in.
	♥ 10:16am common: @cecile: for me too. i'm taking tomorrow off.
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: Hey, kirk!
	10:17am doca: @Cecile: have you seen that Numero Group box on Minneapolis soul? I guess it answers my question of how Prince came from Mppls.
	10:18am kirk from beer city usa: hi joe! I'm gonna have to dig out this record later...
	10:19am Cheri Pi: LOL- I was worried that you were in rhubarb-hab. glad your back and made it through hell week!
	10:19am Cecile: i haven't seen the box, but I have M&M's CD. It doesn't get much press, but there is a really thriving artistic African-American community here. I used to work at the bus agency, and we'd do Black History Month events and people who were like file clerks and bus drivers would perform -great singers, tight jazz funk bands.
	10:19am Cecile: You know it's a tough week when I completely miss BT and Duane.
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @kirk: It's a good one, forgotten in the wake of "Dirty Mind."
	10:22am doca: Oh and yesterday Duane was awesome. Though week indeed.
	10:24am Cecile: which is the one where he's riding the winged horse? dammit, I'll have to listen on archives, doca.
	10:24am βrian: Had the first strawberry-rhubarb pie of the season. (Had to use frozen fruit from last year. Still, spectacular!)
	10:24am doca: I miss Bryce's show, it just doesn't sound the same listening from the archives. Fortunately I was able to catch last one.
	10:25am Cecile: YUM. can't wait for the rhubarb!
	10:25am doca: @Cecile: Duane played this Black Sabbath remix, it was hell soundcloud.com...
	10:28am Cecile: these harmonies are ridiculous.
	10:29am Cheri Pi: βrian so jealous!!!!
	♥ 10:29am mariano: @doca: Yes, that Clanet Paravan is sublime!
	10:29am harvey wallbanger: Song goes on
	10:29am Cheri Pi: they really mean it.
	10:30am Cheri Pi: these harmonies go on.
	10:30am doca: Speaking of German things, rhubarb always reminds of that Rhabarberbarbarabarbarenbartbierbar video: www.youtube.com...
	10:31am corky: Love life goes on song
	10:31am dc pat: ..or they're trying to talk themselves into it...
	10:32am doca: Someone should give a Nobel in services made to music to Irwin
	10:33am Cecile: ITA, doca. Even though I have Irwin issues, he has done a hell of a job bringing people back from obscurity.
	10:33am Cheri Pi: that's cute doca :)
	10:33am βrian: Raspberries and mangos with yoghurt and home-made granola for me.
	10:33am Brendan: Three alarm fiber
	10:33am dc pat: ha @doca, that's nuts. I love German...
	10:34am Brendan: Leave the fan on
	10:34am 67tele: Rip's Big Bowl?
	10:34am βrian: (I really could talk about food 24/7...)
	10:34am dc pat: ^what Cecile said (about Irwin).
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha! What is that damn stuff called??
	10:35am doca: @Cecile: Yeah, I'm not an usual listener of his show, but all the places I've seen his name associated with, it's obscure good music worth three lives at least.
	10:36am Rev. Turnip Druid: PEOPLE. PEOPLE. JOE. JOE AND PEOPLE.
	10:37am Cheri Pi: As a person, this greeting applies to me. PAPS!
	10:37am dc pat: I'm dc pat and I approve of this Tequila song.
	10:38am Brendan: I wonder if robots eat sos or brillo pads w/ milk instead of shredded wheat cereal. They look to be constructed exactly the same one metal , one wheat. One may be frosted with sugar, the other with blue or pink soap. Discuss.
	10:38am βrian: Tequila infused turnips, for example ...
	♥ 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Calling Pee Wee Herman!
	10:39am Cheri Pi: yesterday Mr CP said that Tequila is the only alcohol that also acts as a stimulant, I knew it contained the Crazy-Maker enzyme.
	10:39am Cecile: Bender drinks alcohol. Lots of it.
	10:40am Cheri Pi: haha. this song.
	10:40am Rev. Turnip Druid: Technically I think Absinthe has stimulant properties as well. But that's splitting hairs. I'll have whatever ye got.
	♥ 10:41am Ken From Hyde Park: How about Four Loko? What's in that stuff?
	10:41am Cheri Pi: leave those glamor shots for the young kids. I'm crazy enough without the hard stuff.
	♥ 10:41am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & forty five freaks. Waiter, bring me a crocodile sandwich and make it snappy.
	10:41am Cecile: Both tequila and sake don't affect me the way other liquors do. I get a buzz, but it takes a long time to take hold. One drunk Greek guy once told me "TEQUILA IS NOT LIKE AN ALCOOOHOLS. IT IS LIKE A DRUG!" I buy that, since i would end up walking my wasted girlfriends home after 2 margaritas.
	10:41am Brendan: http://m.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/engine-2-rips-big-bowl-original-cereal
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: @Brendan: Rip's Big Bowl!!!!
	10:42am ?: in highschool, i was once told by a dubious source that jagermeister contained opioids... yick.
	10:42am Cheri Pi: 4 loko used to be tons of caffeine and sweetened fortified booze until the feds shut that recipe down. DJ Marty McSorely is the resident 4 Loko xpert.
	♥ 10:43am Brian in UK: @βrian my wife just made a batch of rhubarb & vanilla jam with this years first pulling of rhubarb.
	10:43am Cecile: No, Jager just TASTES like it.
	♥ 10:43am mariano: @?: Same story I heard throughout high school. Supposedly the European stuff still had it, but not the US version.
	10:43am Cheri Pi: Brian UK, can you email me some of that jam?
	10:44am Rev. Turnip Druid: [snif snif] ... I thought I caught a whiff of rhubarb.
	10:44am Faye: MC GASK O
	10:44am doca: I like Jägermeister.
	10:44am earrie: @ Brian in UK Rhubarb and vanilla jam. Your wife is the best.
	10:44am Cheri Pi: man, if I got married again I would have to insist on playing this song before hand while everyone was settling in to their seats
	10:44am βrian: The first time I had really schmancy sake, I was flabbergasted. It was like mountain spring water with a warm kiss.
	♥ 10:44am Joe McG: F-A-Y-E!
	♥ 10:45am Brian in UK: @Cheri Pi check your in box.
	♥ 10:45am mariano: Live J Geils!!! Yes! I had this album, been years! Remember the video?
	10:45am Cheri Pi: Jägermeister is one of the few liquors I can do a shot of without throwing it right back up.
	♥ 10:45am Brian in UK: @earrie you are right, she is the best.
	10:46am Cheri Pi: HEY FAYE!! I love the unfiltered sake. it's like drinkinig mochi.
	10:46am βrian: @B in UK: Clearly, you live south of the isthmus. Climactically, anyway. We're a good month out still.
	♥ 10:46am mariano: J Geils "I Do" live: www.youtube.com... Memories of jr high!
	10:46am Cecile: "let down your hair!!!"
	10:47am doca: Monday I drank a shot of a pansy(? - amor perfeito in Portuguese) liquor and it was great.
	10:47am βrian: @Cheri Pi: .... note to self ...
	10:47am dc pat: I wonder if there's any science behind that tequila claim. Personally I'll stick with the bourbon and Irish whiskey...although I have been known to drink half a bottle of Jagermeister while driving around all night in Deleware looking for a hotel that was not fully booked....
	♥ 10:47am Guido from Cologne: There are much better herbal liqueurs than Jägermeister.
	10:48am βrian: But mochi kills far more people, I hear. Usually around the New Year. Choking hazard, don't you know.
	10:48am Cecile: I had a caprinha once and it tasted like lime and a live electric wire.
	♥ 10:48am Brian in UK: Mezcal for me, luckily it is too far away to get regularly. It has recently become popular in London with those trendy folks. @βrian so many things are early this year. Blossoms especially.
	10:48am Cheri Pi: Mochi is the great equalizer.
	♥ 10:49am Brian in UK: Limoncello anyone. Sneaky little drink.
	♥ 10:49am mariano: @dc pat: I'm an Irish man myself. Give me a Jameson's neat and a crisp English cider back (or two or three) any day and I'm set.
	10:49am doca: @Cecile: caipirinha is great, though it tastes just like that. Maybe it was just too strong of the cachaça wasn't that good.
	10:50am doca: I never had sake
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: Lived for nearly a decade in Tucson, AZ -- since coming back to DC I haven't had much tequila or mezcal - The selection is wretched out here.
	10:50am dc pat: I went on a mochi bender once. I can believe it's a dangerous food...
	10:50am Brendan: Theres a Whole Paycheck a couple blocks from me where I'm goona grab some lunch . I'll try the Rips joe. Thanks.
	10:50am Cecile: It was delicious, I loved it. But it put me on my ass.
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: southern AZ will make an agave-booze snob out of anyone in no time.
	♥ 10:51am Brian in UK: @mariano jam-a-sons?
	10:51am mr hinky: Im goin down
	10:51am dc pat: right on @mariano. Personally, I'll chase my Jamesons with a big, fat, strong, dark stout.
	10:51am Cecile: doca, hot sake is good with a meal. But the cold sake is the primo stuff. Sake gets heated to hide the taste of lesser sake.
	10:51am βrian: Mezcal came into vogue here about 7-8 years ago. Some is very good, but usually too expensive for mere mortals. New "old" brands started popping up like mushrooms.
	♥ 10:52am ChrisB.: So Jeff Beck copped this from Don Nix, eh? Sly boots.
	10:52am dc pat: jeeze, going out tonight but I'm getting thirsty now...
	10:52am doca: Gotta lunch, see you later all! Great show, Joe
	♥ 10:52am Guido from Cologne: @Brian Limoncello is great with lemon ice cream! That's where i know it from.
	♥ 10:52am Brian in UK: @mariano I was drinking that last Saturday at Mike Watts' gig. Both were excellent.
	10:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: What Pat said (10:51). Except I'll swap out the Jameson for a Bushmill's -- but hell, it's all serviceable.
	10:53am doca: @Cecile: didn't know that, next time I go to São Paulo I get one good from the Japanese neighborhood
	10:53am awkward jack: @hinky: Freddie King version of Goin Down is searing...
	10:53am Cecile: Brian, you might do better importing it yourself or having friends bring it back with them from other countries. I know 2 places that makes killer limoncello. So good.
	10:54am Cecile: doca, they'll steer you right.
	10:55am Cheri Pi: make limoncello yourself if you can, super easy, cheap and delicous www.foodnetwork.com...
	10:55am dc pat: This Edith Nylon song is my new fav song.
	10:55am Cecile: mezcal, at least in some circles, used to be the ugly stepsister to tequila. And tequila wasn't held in high esteem. That has definitely changed in Minneapolis and the midwest.
	10:55am βrian: A chef I knew made limoncello, so he could control the bitterness/sweet balance. So concentrated one had to drink it sitting down. But wow. Turned one's blood to lemon oil.
	♥ 10:55am Brian in UK: @Guido from Cologne that reminds me, our ice cream maker has broken. @Cecile, our daughter went there twice recently, nice. Since split with boyfriend so no more visits.
	♥ 10:55am mariano: @Brian in UK: You saw Mike Watt? Jealous, with or without Jam-a-sons!
	10:55am Cheri Pi: Cold sake = a must. forget the price and party hard.
	10:56am Cecile: aw. bummer, Brian.
	10:56am Cheri Pi: I bet limoncello would be great made with meyer lemons.
	10:56am Cecile: YES, the great cover from Richie.
	10:57am dc pat: yeah, my problem with all this primo booze is I can't afford any of it. That's why I just stick with cheaper bourbon and Jamesons.
	♥ 10:57am Guido from Cologne: ... quite new here in the neighbourhood: a local destillery produces some kind of Limoncello called "kleiner Italiener" (little Italian ... after some 50ies schlager). Quite decent stuff ...
	10:57am Cheri Pi: Oh man! I love Easy Action's version of this song.
	10:57am βrian: What would happen if one's finger accidentally leaned on the platter?
	♥ 10:58am Sem Chumbo: Oh, well. My morning fix of Mr. Havens. That voice is to kill for.
	♥ 10:58am Brian in UK: @mariano last night of two month tour. The trio were tops. He looked knacked at the end. Understandably so.
	♥ 10:58am DCE: not my fave tune but Richie's voice is always amazing
	10:59am Cheri Pi: Brannon's voice is amazing too...
	10:59am Cecile: A2D, cheri.
	♥ 11:00am Brian in UK: Now in Sri Lanka the drink is Arrack brewed from coconuts. Loverly.
	11:00am dc pat: I love this tune. 10cc's version is probably the weirdest song to be played repeatedly on AM radio (back in the 70's)
	11:00am βrian: Isn't it about meyer season, too? I think I now have a plan.
	11:01am dc pat: that's something I don't know about. What's the DEAL with meyer lemons?
	11:01am Cecile: ITA, dcp.
	11:01am Cheri Pi: We have meyers now in our stores
	11:01am Cheri Pi: what Cecile said about what P@ said.
	♥ 11:01am DCE: que es "meyers"?
	♥ 11:01am Guido from Cologne: One anecdote from Hamburg in the 70ies: meeteing at a party some dentist offered Richie Havens special treatment ... then the manager became aware and totatally upset: "dare you ever fix Richies teeth, his and my careers will be ruined!" ... ... hehe ... music biz .. voice and health.
	11:02am Cecile: they are so tasty. They are more fragarant that regulat lemons. More juice, too.
	11:02am Cecile: Guido, that's why Barbara Streisand never got plastic surgery for her nose.
	11:03am dc pat: oh. so I should buy those instead of stupid old regular lemons when I see them?
	11:04am Cecile: meyer lemons have less acid, so not neccessarily.
	♥ 11:04am Brian in UK: Are they waxed or unwaxed?
	11:05am dc pat: k, got it, hanx
	11:05am βrian: The deep, oily frangrance of good meyers is hypnotic. Dense almond/lemon cake with a drizzle of the juice. Ecstasy!
	11:05am βrian: Never waxed. The peel is the thing.
	♥ 11:05am Brian in UK: Joe that Calvin Arnold is a DOUBLE BRACKETED title.
	11:06am Carmichael: Heyo Joe and morning people.
	11:06am Cheri Pi: I'm not sure, but buy them anyway and just dunk them in very hot water and give a good scrub.
	♥ 11:06am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe + Commenters!
	♥ 11:07am Guido from Cologne: Must run! Loved this! See you!
	11:07am Cheri Pi: buy Meyer lemons!! They're only around for a while and they taste so fantastic.
	♥ 11:07am mariano: I love extreme metal band names! What's the one Diane K's been playing? Enbilulugugal or something like that? Tschuess, Guido!
	11:09am dc pat: @Pi: OK, ok!
	11:09am Dean: Renting a house here in Berkeley a few years ago, we had a Meyer lemon tree in the backyard. I used them almost daily. There was also a Gravenstein apple tree, the fruit of which was perfect for a buttery, cinnamon-y tart.
	11:10am Cecile: POLKA!
	♥ 11:11am DCE: is this going to rival the shock of "Point of No Return"??
	11:11am Cecile: I love me some polka.
	11:11am Cheri Pi: Mother McGasko!
	♥ 11:11am 12539: Polkabrate!
	♥ 11:11am DCE: ha, good call Cecile!
	♥ 11:11am Brian in UK: @Joe Clem's drumming is as crisp as the cut of your jib!!!
	11:11am Parq: Polka time!
	11:11am kirk from beer city usa: I raided Mom's record collection many years ago. Didn't find much... Whipped Cream and Other Delights, a bunch of Bill Cosby LPs.
	11:12am Cheri Pi: Dean that sounds like pure bliss
	♥ 11:12am Sem Chumbo: Where are those cabbage rolls? They were just here...
	♥ 11:12am Greg from Bloomfield: Like Sunday morning at Grandma's. I have a sudden desire to go to Mass and eat pancakes...
	11:12am Cecile: We used to have polka radio shows and TV shows where I grew up. If you go to polka conventions, they have a polka mass. hahhahahah. church might actually be fun with that.
	11:12am Kurt Gottschalk: what about those of us who enjoy being horrified?
	♥ 11:12am DCE: I've been raiding mom's record collection since I was in single digits...mom was into psych and prog, though
	11:12am kirk from beer city usa: Dad's was better: Willie, Waylon, Johnny. Also Bill Withers and Ray Charles.
	11:13am Cecile: Sem, I have the coffee. Yum! Yum! Yum!
	11:13am βrian: Polka in homeopathic doses is good for you, but beware ...
	11:13am Carmichael: A quick comments review shows a love of tequila and cachasa. You folks are crazy. I've had both. Cachasa causes hallucinations, and tequila is a good furniture-throwing alcohol.
	♥ 11:13am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: If only I could drink beer at work! And now i need a pretzel.
	11:13am Rev. Turnip Druid: Polka is pretty damned happy, I'll grant that. But I've always thought of classic Bhangra as the happiest music in the universe. (not the modern DJ perversion of it, but the old-timey acoustic stuff). . . .. short of that, Polka will do nicely.
	♥ 11:13am DCE: that is until the 80s destroyed her ability to judge right from wrong
	♥ 11:13am 12539: Joe, did you have keilbasa for Easter?
	11:13am dc pat: I'm going to see Clem Burke play drums tonight. psyched.
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @12539: Sure did!
	11:15am dc pat: @Rev: totally agree on the Bhangra....
	11:15am Carmichael: Is this the Schmenge Brothers??
	11:16am Cheri Pi: I scored some Readers' Digest fat box sets from my grandmothers phonograph collection :/
	11:16am Jeff: And then, just to slide things smoothly in a slightly odder direction, time for great dance band and team of musicological explorers Brave Combo next...
	11:16am βrian: I'm with you on Cachaça. And grappa strikes fear into my heart.
	11:16am nardo: It's time for Polka Varieties with your host, Joe Schmenge!
	11:16am Cecile: My mom liked the Carpenters and Ferrante and Teicher. My dad liked Charley Pride and Glen Campbell. But we had Mom's dad's Hank Williams 10 inches. And my aunt Sigri's "conucopia of sound" (TM Dad) of Mantovani, 3 Suns and Martin Denny.
	♥ 11:17am DCE: and now it's the time of day when I click boxes for hours on end
	11:17am Cecile: when I brought 3 Dog Night and War and 10cc into our home it was like a bomb went off.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @nardo: An-na one, an-na two...
	11:18am βrian: My most beloved cat was The Goof. Damn, I miss her.
	11:18am Cecile: I hope you have "In Heaven There Is No Beer..."
	11:18am Carmichael: @Cecile: 3 Suns, Martin Denny, Les Baxter, anything tiki or cha-cha from the 60s. They accentuate the Bill Cosby, Herb Alpert and Baja Marimba Band albums wonderfully.
	11:18am Dean: One part polka, two parts Slivovitz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVGeDZC7n5o My mom's record collection included the LP with Burt Bacharach's "Mexican Divorce," my vote for best pop song of all time.
	11:19am Cecile: Joe, are you familiar with the Tamburitzians?
	11:19am βrian: This really calls for some bandoneon music, you know?
	11:19am Jeff: @Cecile: Ferrante and Teicher got pretty wonderfully weird sometimes... Four-handed prepared piano sounding like it was underwater...
	♥ 11:20am mariano: @kirk: Some of those old Cosby albums are a scream! This Ostanek is the same song they were using in European Vacation during the part in Bavaria where Chevy Chase was in lederhosen doing a traditional, dance that led to a fight, no?
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: @Cecile: I am! And, no, no "In Heaven There Is No Beer." This is WFMU, after all. We go obscure!
	11:20am Cecile: they did, Jeff!
	11:21am Cecile: The "Tammies" can bring it. I saw them a couple of times back in the day. Joe, just because it's known doesn't mean it's not great!
	11:21am Brendan: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bmx5CI9Hxk4
	11:21am Jeff: The tune for that Tic Toc Polka sounded an awful lot like that for "In Heaven..."
	11:22am Cecile: Carm, oh yes. Lots of Herb Alpert and Baja Marimba Band.
	♥ 11:23am mariano: There's a great pic of Ferrante and Teicher where they look like a couple of 60s English gangsters played by Michael Caine and Oliver Reed: ecx.images-amazon.com...
	11:23am βrian: Bandoneon: youtu.be...
	11:23am Cecile: the most thankless job in music. Polka drummer.
	11:24am Cecile: hahhahahah. They also look like twin Jemaine Clements.
	11:24am Cecile: Or Stephen Fry and Jemaine Clement. hahahahah
	11:25am Sean D. Daily: Holy cow, true believers! I love this polka from the Stan Lee Orchestra! 'Nuff said!
	♥ 11:26am Sem Chumbo: @Cedcile at 11:13: Oh,the Smengy (sp) Brothers. Hilarious!
	11:27am V Priceless: Hey Joe, gang! Suddenly I feel the urge for schnitzel!
	♥ 11:27am mariano: @Cecile: Haha! To me it looks like I've just accidentally walked in on them in mid-smooch, and now they're trying to decide how to dispose of my body! Not that I have that many fantasies of being dismembered by piano duos, mind you!
	♥ 11:27am Sem Chumbo: Cecile: no "d" (sp)
	11:28am Cecile: I need some sauerkraut tacos stat.
	♥ 11:28am Brian in UK: @mariano listen to Bill Mac on Saturday at silly o'clock. Cosby is not forgotten, YOU GUNKY.
	11:28am βrian: schnitzel? Geusenheit!
	11:29am mark in toronto: has anyone ever written a sad polka song?
	11:29am Cecile: brian, cos voice riggggggggggggggght.
	11:29am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Is the music where people dance and go up to their partner and slap them in the face?
	11:30am Rev. Turnip Druid: I see potential in a goth-polka movement.
	11:30am Rev. Turnip Druid: ...or BLACK POLKA.
	♥ 11:31am mariano: @Brian: Thanks for the tip, I will do that! Far as sad polkas, I've wondered from time to time if it's possible to write a tragic limerick.
	11:31am βrian: My tuning is wandering ...
	♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: @Cecile that's the Noah sketch? What's a cubitt. Russell does not do that in the film, it might have been fun if he did.
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Mark: One sad polka coming up...
	11:32am nardo: The actual host for Polka Varieties ~ Polka Varieties Paul Wilcox: http://youtu.be/iiMmQHJHXB0
	11:32am Cheri Pi: True Power Polka.
	11:32am V Priceless: that Noah flick was filmed right down the road from me here on the Isle of Long....
	11:32am dc pat: GOOD GOD! Stupid daily meeting and I'm missing a WHOLE FREAKIN SET OF POLKA!!! DAAAMMMMMMMIIIITTTTT.
	11:32am Sean D. Daily: @ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: We can only hope it is.
	♥ 11:32am mariano: Black Polka! Great one! Imagine the vocals!
	♥ 11:32am Brian in UK: Theremin Polka anyone?
	11:32am Cecile: Brian, yeah, it is. The Noah movie seems like it would be better if it was a Cosby comedy routine. Iced Mirth, Cheri.
	11:33am Brendan: My affection for Polka is rather limited to girls in Polka dot bikinis circa 1960s.
	♥ 11:33am mariano: I think when polka is sad they call it klezmer...
	11:34am dc pat: ok, so sad polka = klezmer?
	11:34am βrian: Yep. I love sauer kraut, but I can't eat a bushel of it.
	11:34am dc pat: @mariano!
	11:34am mark in toronto: So mournful. thanks Joe
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: OK, just one more and then we return you to your regularly scheduled programming...
	♥ 11:34am mariano: @dc pat: Jinx!
	♥ 11:35am Brian in UK: I just got the 'Polka Chips'
	11:35am dc pat: I'm German and I hate sauerkraut. You can keep most German food actually except dumplings, spaetzel, stuff like that.
	11:36am Carmichael: @Cecile: Oh, and don't forget the Dukes of Dixieland. Authentic fake New Orleans pseudo ragtime jazz from LA studio musicians.
	♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: Is there a Barnacle Bill in the house?
	♥ 11:36am KK: Vielen dank Joe fur diesen Polkas! I've got this going in my office right now (as if my coworkers didn't my tastes were bizarre enough)
	11:37am V Priceless: insert "Hey!" as needed!
	11:37am dc pat: HEY!
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: @KK: Ha ha ha! Some Polish soul music will do them good!
	11:38am Cecile: This has been a great polka set, Joe. Keep 'em coming.
	11:38am βrian: The operative word there is "some."
	11:39am Carmichael: Bobby Bittman did a great Polish song medley on the Sammy Maudlin show.
	♥ 11:39am mariano: There's a good low-budget documentary on this polka band leader/con artist called The Man Who Would Be Polka King: www.imdb.com... Used to be on Netflix streaming, but apparently not anymore.
	11:40am Cecile: It's 1,000,000% true!
	♥ 11:40am Mike East: 120 HS students from god knows where filing past my office making a great cacauphony. help!
	11:40am dc pat: best set ever. Johnstown, PA use to have a great folkfest. Could always catch some great polka there. They fucked it up though and nobody goes anymore.
	♥ 11:40am BarbR: Totally digging the polka set! Grew up taking Polish folk dancing classes, and listening to my Dad's polka albums. Brings back great memories. :-)
	11:40am V Priceless: haha...Bobby Bittman..."gimmie a dee dee dee, and a da da da..and whatever the hell else you wanna throw in there!"
	♥ 11:41am KK: whoops excuse my ignorance, Polish indeed :)
	♥ 11:42am mariano: @Carmichael: Oh man, I'm am SCTV fanatic. All those guys are so underrated, Eugene Levy is always typecast as the nerdy dad type now, which is odd, because so many of his characters had that barely-contained explosive rage, like Bittman.
	11:42am βrian: Nobody goes anymore? Because it's too crowded?
	11:43am dr neil tyson degrasse: Polka hole in the space time continuum
	11:44am Carmichael: Bobby was making the move from comedic brilliance to dramatic Ack-tore. His remake of On the Waterfront was a thing of beauty.
	♥ 11:44am Mike East: can't tell you how much I'd rather be voluteering at wfmu than working today.
	♥ 11:44am common: got my swag this week. thanks volunteers!
	♥ 11:45am mariano: @Carmichael: Absolutely! And remember when Bittmann has his kid brother (Rick Moranis, another underrated genius) on Maudlin, who completely screwed up his act, and they get into this screaming match in Yiddish? Absolutely brilliant.
	11:46am V Priceless: @ Carmichael....I'm thinking of the band-leader/song writer character Martin Short played....wasn't that Bittman? Been a while...and mind is going...
	♥ 11:46am Mike East: Rick Moranis is goddamn hilarious
	11:46am Carmichael: @mariano: Skip Bittman.
	♥ 11:47am Rich in Washington: Record Store Day has become Black Friday. The only thing more pathetic than watching people fighting over a blender at Walmart is watching newbie vinyl fanatic hipsters fight over a limited edition REO Speedwagon reissue.
	11:47am βrian: Speaking of hand made, I always marvelled at notion of hand made potato chips. I mean, that oil is hot! The attrition rate must be remarkable.
	♥ 11:47am DCE: haha, I agree, Rich...I stayed home
	11:48am Cecile: I went one year, got a bunch of stuff and figured I would do more good shopping the other 364 days of the year.
	♥ 11:48am Rich in Washington: Record stores get plenty of my dough over the remaining 364 days.
	♥ 11:48am mariano: @Carmichael: Yes! @V Priceless: I know who you mean, brilliant character too, the old Broadway hack. Used to appear on Billy Crystal's sendup of the Joe Franklin show, as I recall, but maybe he was on SCTV too. Skip Bittman: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:48am Rich in Washington: @Cecile: JINX!
	11:49am βrian: We're way ahead of you. We have reel-to-reel days around here.
	11:49am Brendan: Yosh and Stan Schmege polka: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nGsvZrJxMTA
	11:50am Carmichael: That was Jackie Rogers Jr., the albino tin-pan alley type actor and formerly one of The Seven Little Rogers, a family act.
	♥ 11:50am Rich in Washington: I sure appreciate SCTV more now that I understand all the old timey show biz and TV comedy references
	♥ 11:50am Brian in UK: Looks like Paul Weller is no fan of RSD. www.independent.co.uk...
	♥ 11:51am Rich in Washington: I also loved Short's grown up, long-in-the-tooth child actor Rusty.
	♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: Crackin' show, Joe. What's new.
	11:52am V Priceless: @ mariano and Carmichael - Yes!! Haha! Thanks for the refresher!
	♥ 11:52am Sem Chumbo: Dear Prudence AND Gabor! Love his touch w/ these tunes.
	♥ 11:52am Rich in Washington: @BitUK: yes. That article nailed it. The limited edition, greedy grabber mentality made it even more annoying for me. Most record store owners I know feel obliged to participate in some way but it's generally a pain for them.
	11:54am V Priceless: alas I failed to score the Devo Live at Max's '77 vinyl....maybe there's still hope!
	11:54am βrian: An emerging trend is MP3s encoded as B&W pixel regions on VHS tape. Only the die-hards appreciate the transcoded visual background hiss of these paintstakingly re-mastered versions.
	11:55am Parq: Besides, the FMU record fair is just weeks away. Gotta save my dimes for that!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Have a happy week full of polka!
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: Joe, well thanks for making me late for dog walking, AGAIN. @Parq yeah just rub it in (Record Fair)
	11:56am βrian: I love Nilsson's rendition of "Marry Me a Little."
	♥ 11:57am mariano: Thanks Joe, and bye everyone! Great listenin' and gabbin'!
	11:57am Brendan: So long Joe
	♥ 11:58am KK: thanks~~
	♥ 11:59am 12539: Thanks, Joe!

	♥ 9:09am 12539: Snap snap!
	♥ 9:09am Joe McG: @doca: Full of pep! Or ready to snap, one or the other.
	♥ 9:09am DCE: god I am whatever the opposite of snappy is today...three Titan IPAs did me in last night
	9:10am KP: Snap it pal
	9:11am doca: @Joe: what is pep? haha googled it and got it here
	♥ 9:11am common: @dce: i'm with you.
	♥ 9:11am Joe McG: @DCE: Don't worry, we're taking it slow this morning!
	9:12am doca: People talk about the German language, but I feel English really has a word for everything. And it's worse because the words are smaller, you can't just guess seeing what a part of it means
	9:14am northguineahills: Nothing like the yip yips going boing boing to put a spring in my morning step.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15am Bonesy Maroney: This is exactly what I needed this morning!
	9:15am northguineahills: got a pumpernickel bagel w/ whitefish salad. oh happy!
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: @doca: English has a lot of words for a lot of things, but there are still many things you can say in other languages much more easily.
	♥ 9:17am TR In MI: Dreamy vibes coming from these... dreamy vibes. Nice way to start the day.
	9:17am doca: @Joe: that's true. By the way, this is one of my favorite songs ever. It always makes me feel cozy.
	♥ 9:17am Guido from Cologne: German is notorious for lengthy composites and complex grammar, isn't it?
	9:19am doca: @Guido: yeah, but the words are like hieroglyphs, you can just decompose them and get the meaning
	♥ 9:20am DCE: @ngh, sorry, that doesn't sound appealing right now!
	9:23am dc pat: 23 minutes late!!
	9:24am fred von helsing: @doca finnish assembles compound words the same way as german and it does wonders for general scientific literacy. it's not a "globe" it's an "earthball".
	9:25am doca: @fred: haha love that non-abstract figurative way of thinking
	♥ 9:25am Sem Chumbo: @FVH: hahaha. Morning', Joe and all earthball dwellers.
	9:25am braveness23: Bigmouth23 Strikes Again! Morning everyone!
	♥ 9:28am Joe McG: @dcpat: Oh no, you missed the part of the show where I killed them softly with my song.
	♥ 9:31am common: are you the only one, joe? thought so.
	9:32am Parq: And indeed you are.
	9:32am dc pat: DAMMIT, Joe! Hey, while I have your attention, got any Mekons on you?
	♥ 9:32am DCE: Joe, do you fall asleep to this tune every night?
	♥ 9:32am Michele: JOE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE!!!!
	♥ 9:33am Sem Chumbo: Shameful self promotion. That's the spirit.
	9:33am dc pat: this tune is hilarious!
	♥ 9:33am 12539: I can't wait for Part II.
	9:34am Brendan: Hi joe good morn.
	9:36am ?: Just got here, looks like i missed a nice set... looking forward to the next
	♥ 9:36am 12539: There's nothing obscure about the fact that your show used to feature 78 rpm records.
	9:38am Alessia: Joe they don't mention this on the doc about Death, do they?
	♥ 9:42am Joe McG: @Alessia: I don't remember them mentioning it, actually. Anybody know for sure?
	♥ 9:42am Joe McG: MICHELE! @12539: I guess not, but I'm never sure who remembers that!
	9:43am Alessia: They could have gone back to it when the publisher was requiring it, it's not a bad name. Well...it's a starclick anyway.
	9:45am Cheri Pi: Add one more girl, CP signing in
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: @CP: Hello, mon lovely adoptive parent!
	9:51am Chapel Hillian: Anyone else hear shades of Mark Mothersbaugh in the 1-800 singer? I also hear some "Come Back Johnny"
	♥ 9:51am mariano: Good morning, all!
	9:52am Cheri Pi: Son!!
	9:54am Irene: Eow, I'd forgotten how great Dwight Twilley was. Great set overall, Joe!

	10:03am Cecile: hola!!!!
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: Heya, Cecile!
	10:05am βrian: Good morning. Velvet crêpe skies over the isthmus today.
	10:05am Cecile: I love me some Dwight Twilley. You know what's a great buried powerpop song by someone you wouldn't expect? Heaven Sent from INXS. From Welcome to Wherever You are.
	10:05am doca: Hi, Cecile!
	♥ 10:06am ChrisB.: The drummer in Bok Bok seems to be finding plenty to do.
	♥ 10:06am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Hey Joe, missed you at the station yesterday. Next time I'm only coming in if you're working.
	10:07am Cecile: hey doca!
	10:08am Brendan: Nice jazz flute in the bed music!
	10:08am Cecile: I also realized that I knew the song "Shark" from the Great Lost Dwight Twilley Record.
	10:09am βrian: I'm imagining something similar to clogging with those scuba divers... (I missed the track.)
	10:10am Cecile: Keh-LICE
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: @Cecile: Oops! I also mispronounce "Chimera."
	10:12am Cecile: No big. Oh, dude better spill some coffee on Kelis soon. She sounds too happy.
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: @Cecile: That's 'cause she kicked Nas to the curb.
	10:14am Cheri Pi: Cecile! I've been missing you
	10:15am Cecile: I know. But he inspired some great stuff from her. hahahhah. I'm glad she's happier, though.
	10:15am Cecile: It has been hell week this week. School drama. Work drama. Over both.
	10:16am Cecile: I still want to have "I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW" as my iphone ringtone when I finally cave and get one 10 years from now.
	10:16am kirk from beer city usa: nice to be greeted by Prince upon tuning in.
	♥ 10:16am common: @cecile: for me too. i'm taking tomorrow off.
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: Hey, kirk!
	10:17am doca: @Cecile: have you seen that Numero Group box on Minneapolis soul? I guess it answers my question of how Prince came from Mppls.
	10:18am kirk from beer city usa: hi joe! I'm gonna have to dig out this record later...
	10:19am Cheri Pi: LOL- I was worried that you were in rhubarb-hab. glad your back and made it through hell week!
	10:19am Cecile: i haven't seen the box, but I have M&M's CD. It doesn't get much press, but there is a really thriving artistic African-American community here. I used to work at the bus agency, and we'd do Black History Month events and people who were like file clerks and bus drivers would perform -great singers, tight jazz funk bands.
	10:19am Cecile: You know it's a tough week when I completely miss BT and Duane.
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @kirk: It's a good one, forgotten in the wake of "Dirty Mind."
	10:22am doca: Oh and yesterday Duane was awesome. Though week indeed.
	10:24am Cecile: which is the one where he's riding the winged horse? dammit, I'll have to listen on archives, doca.
	10:24am βrian: Had the first strawberry-rhubarb pie of the season. (Had to use frozen fruit from last year. Still, spectacular!)
	10:24am doca: I miss Bryce's show, it just doesn't sound the same listening from the archives. Fortunately I was able to catch last one.
	10:25am Cecile: YUM. can't wait for the rhubarb!
	10:25am doca: @Cecile: Duane played this Black Sabbath remix, it was hell soundcloud.com...
	10:28am Cecile: these harmonies are ridiculous.
	10:29am Cheri Pi: βrian so jealous!!!!
	♥ 10:29am mariano: @doca: Yes, that Clanet Paravan is sublime!
	10:29am harvey wallbanger: Song goes on
	10:29am Cheri Pi: they really mean it.
	10:30am Cheri Pi: these harmonies go on.
	10:30am doca: Speaking of German things, rhubarb always reminds of that Rhabarberbarbarabarbarenbartbierbar video: www.youtube.com...
	10:31am corky: Love life goes on song
	10:31am dc pat: ..or they're trying to talk themselves into it...
	10:32am doca: Someone should give a Nobel in services made to music to Irwin
	10:33am Cecile: ITA, doca. Even though I have Irwin issues, he has done a hell of a job bringing people back from obscurity.
	10:33am Cheri Pi: that's cute doca :)
	10:33am βrian: Raspberries and mangos with yoghurt and home-made granola for me.
	10:33am Brendan: Three alarm fiber
	10:33am dc pat: ha @doca, that's nuts. I love German...
	10:34am Brendan: Leave the fan on
	10:34am 67tele: Rip's Big Bowl?
	10:34am βrian: (I really could talk about food 24/7...)
	10:34am dc pat: ^what Cecile said (about Irwin).
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha! What is that damn stuff called??
	10:35am doca: @Cecile: Yeah, I'm not an usual listener of his show, but all the places I've seen his name associated with, it's obscure good music worth three lives at least.
	10:36am Rev. Turnip Druid: PEOPLE. PEOPLE. JOE. JOE AND PEOPLE.
	10:37am Cheri Pi: As a person, this greeting applies to me. PAPS!
	10:37am dc pat: I'm dc pat and I approve of this Tequila song.
	10:38am Brendan: I wonder if robots eat sos or brillo pads w/ milk instead of shredded wheat cereal. They look to be constructed exactly the same one metal , one wheat. One may be frosted with sugar, the other with blue or pink soap. Discuss.
	10:38am βrian: Tequila infused turnips, for example ...
	♥ 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Calling Pee Wee Herman!
	10:39am Cheri Pi: yesterday Mr CP said that Tequila is the only alcohol that also acts as a stimulant, I knew it contained the Crazy-Maker enzyme.
	10:39am Cecile: Bender drinks alcohol. Lots of it.
	10:40am Cheri Pi: haha. this song.
	10:40am Rev. Turnip Druid: Technically I think Absinthe has stimulant properties as well. But that's splitting hairs. I'll have whatever ye got.
	♥ 10:41am Ken From Hyde Park: How about Four Loko? What's in that stuff?
	10:41am Cheri Pi: leave those glamor shots for the young kids. I'm crazy enough without the hard stuff.
	♥ 10:41am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & forty five freaks. Waiter, bring me a crocodile sandwich and make it snappy.
	10:41am Cecile: Both tequila and sake don't affect me the way other liquors do. I get a buzz, but it takes a long time to take hold. One drunk Greek guy once told me "TEQUILA IS NOT LIKE AN ALCOOOHOLS. IT IS LIKE A DRUG!" I buy that, since i would end up walking my wasted girlfriends home after 2 margaritas.

	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: @Brendan: Rip's Big Bowl!!!!
	10:42am ?: in highschool, i was once told by a dubious source that jagermeister contained opioids... yick.
	10:42am Cheri Pi: 4 loko used to be tons of caffeine and sweetened fortified booze until the feds shut that recipe down. DJ Marty McSorely is the resident 4 Loko xpert.
	♥ 10:43am Brian in UK: @βrian my wife just made a batch of rhubarb & vanilla jam with this years first pulling of rhubarb.
	10:43am Cecile: No, Jager just TASTES like it.
	♥ 10:43am mariano: @?: Same story I heard throughout high school. Supposedly the European stuff still had it, but not the US version.
	10:43am Cheri Pi: Brian UK, can you email me some of that jam?
	10:44am Rev. Turnip Druid: [snif snif] ... I thought I caught a whiff of rhubarb.
	10:44am Faye: MC GASK O
	10:44am doca: I like Jägermeister.
	10:44am earrie: @ Brian in UK Rhubarb and vanilla jam. Your wife is the best.
	10:44am Cheri Pi: man, if I got married again I would have to insist on playing this song before hand while everyone was settling in to their seats
	10:44am βrian: The first time I had really schmancy sake, I was flabbergasted. It was like mountain spring water with a warm kiss.
	♥ 10:44am Joe McG: F-A-Y-E!
	♥ 10:45am Brian in UK: @Cheri Pi check your in box.
	♥ 10:45am mariano: Live J Geils!!! Yes! I had this album, been years! Remember the video?
	10:45am Cheri Pi: Jägermeister is one of the few liquors I can do a shot of without throwing it right back up.
	♥ 10:45am Brian in UK: @earrie you are right, she is the best.
	10:46am Cheri Pi: HEY FAYE!! I love the unfiltered sake. it's like drinkinig mochi.
	10:46am βrian: @B in UK: Clearly, you live south of the isthmus. Climactically, anyway. We're a good month out still.
	♥ 10:46am mariano: J Geils "I Do" live: www.youtube.com... Memories of jr high!
	10:46am Cecile: "let down your hair!!!"
	10:47am doca: Monday I drank a shot of a pansy(? - amor perfeito in Portuguese) liquor and it was great.
	10:47am βrian: @Cheri Pi: .... note to self ...
	10:47am dc pat: I wonder if there's any science behind that tequila claim. Personally I'll stick with the bourbon and Irish whiskey...although I have been known to drink half a bottle of Jagermeister while driving around all night in Deleware looking for a hotel that was not fully booked....
	♥ 10:47am Guido from Cologne: There are much better herbal liqueurs than Jägermeister.
	10:48am βrian: But mochi kills far more people, I hear. Usually around the New Year. Choking hazard, don't you know.
	10:48am Cecile: I had a caprinha once and it tasted like lime and a live electric wire.
	♥ 10:48am Brian in UK: Mezcal for me, luckily it is too far away to get regularly. It has recently become popular in London with those trendy folks. @βrian so many things are early this year. Blossoms especially.
	10:48am Cheri Pi: Mochi is the great equalizer.
	♥ 10:49am Brian in UK: Limoncello anyone. Sneaky little drink.
	♥ 10:49am mariano: @dc pat: I'm an Irish man myself. Give me a Jameson's neat and a crisp English cider back (or two or three) any day and I'm set.
	10:49am doca: @Cecile: caipirinha is great, though it tastes just like that. Maybe it was just too strong of the cachaça wasn't that good.
	10:50am doca: I never had sake
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: Lived for nearly a decade in Tucson, AZ -- since coming back to DC I haven't had much tequila or mezcal - The selection is wretched out here.
	10:50am dc pat: I went on a mochi bender once. I can believe it's a dangerous food...
	10:50am Brendan: Theres a Whole Paycheck a couple blocks from me where I'm goona grab some lunch . I'll try the Rips joe. Thanks.
	10:50am Cecile: It was delicious, I loved it. But it put me on my ass.
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: southern AZ will make an agave-booze snob out of anyone in no time.
	♥ 10:51am Brian in UK: @mariano jam-a-sons?
	10:51am mr hinky: Im goin down
	10:51am dc pat: right on @mariano. Personally, I'll chase my Jamesons with a big, fat, strong, dark stout.
	10:51am Cecile: doca, hot sake is good with a meal. But the cold sake is the primo stuff. Sake gets heated to hide the taste of lesser sake.
	10:51am βrian: Mezcal came into vogue here about 7-8 years ago. Some is very good, but usually too expensive for mere mortals. New "old" brands started popping up like mushrooms.
	♥ 10:52am ChrisB.: So Jeff Beck copped this from Don Nix, eh? Sly boots.
	10:52am dc pat: jeeze, going out tonight but I'm getting thirsty now...
	10:52am doca: Gotta lunch, see you later all! Great show, Joe
	♥ 10:52am Guido from Cologne: @Brian Limoncello is great with lemon ice cream! That's where i know it from.
	♥ 10:52am Brian in UK: @mariano I was drinking that last Saturday at Mike Watts' gig. Both were excellent.
	10:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: What Pat said (10:51). Except I'll swap out the Jameson for a Bushmill's -- but hell, it's all serviceable.
	10:53am doca: @Cecile: didn't know that, next time I go to São Paulo I get one good from the Japanese neighborhood
	10:53am awkward jack: @hinky: Freddie King version of Goin Down is searing...
	10:53am Cecile: Brian, you might do better importing it yourself or having friends bring it back with them from other countries. I know 2 places that makes killer limoncello. So good.
	10:54am Cecile: doca, they'll steer you right.
	10:55am Cheri Pi: make limoncello yourself if you can, super easy, cheap and delicous www.foodnetwork.com...
	10:55am dc pat: This Edith Nylon song is my new fav song.
	10:55am Cecile: mezcal, at least in some circles, used to be the ugly stepsister to tequila. And tequila wasn't held in high esteem. That has definitely changed in Minneapolis and the midwest.
	10:55am βrian: A chef I knew made limoncello, so he could control the bitterness/sweet balance. So concentrated one had to drink it sitting down. But wow. Turned one's blood to lemon oil.
	♥ 10:55am Brian in UK: @Guido from Cologne that reminds me, our ice cream maker has broken. @Cecile, our daughter went there twice recently, nice. Since split with boyfriend so no more visits.
	♥ 10:55am mariano: @Brian in UK: You saw Mike Watt? Jealous, with or without Jam-a-sons!
	10:55am Cheri Pi: Cold sake = a must. forget the price and party hard.
	10:56am Cecile: aw. bummer, Brian.
	10:56am Cheri Pi: I bet limoncello would be great made with meyer lemons.
	10:56am Cecile: YES, the great cover from Richie.
	10:57am dc pat: yeah, my problem with all this primo booze is I can't afford any of it. That's why I just stick with cheaper bourbon and Jamesons.
	♥ 10:57am Guido from Cologne: ... quite new here in the neighbourhood: a local destillery produces some kind of Limoncello called "kleiner Italiener" (little Italian ... after some 50ies schlager). Quite decent stuff ...
	10:57am Cheri Pi: Oh man! I love Easy Action's version of this song.
	10:57am βrian: What would happen if one's finger accidentally leaned on the platter?
	♥ 10:58am Sem Chumbo: Oh, well. My morning fix of Mr. Havens. That voice is to kill for.
	♥ 10:58am Brian in UK: @mariano last night of two month tour. The trio were tops. He looked knacked at the end. Understandably so.
	♥ 10:58am DCE: not my fave tune but Richie's voice is always amazing
	10:59am Cheri Pi: Brannon's voice is amazing too...
	10:59am Cecile: A2D, cheri.
	♥ 11:00am Brian in UK: Now in Sri Lanka the drink is Arrack brewed from coconuts. Loverly.
	11:00am dc pat: I love this tune. 10cc's version is probably the weirdest song to be played repeatedly on AM radio (back in the 70's)
	11:00am βrian: Isn't it about meyer season, too? I think I now have a plan.
	11:01am dc pat: that's something I don't know about. What's the DEAL with meyer lemons?
	11:01am Cecile: ITA, dcp.
	11:01am Cheri Pi: We have meyers now in our stores
	11:01am Cheri Pi: what Cecile said about what P@ said.
	♥ 11:01am DCE: que es "meyers"?
	♥ 11:01am Guido from Cologne: One anecdote from Hamburg in the 70ies: meeteing at a party some dentist offered Richie Havens special treatment ... then the manager became aware and totatally upset: "dare you ever fix Richies teeth, his and my careers will be ruined!" ... ... hehe ... music biz .. voice and health.
	11:02am Cecile: they are so tasty. They are more fragarant that regulat lemons. More juice, too.
	11:02am Cecile: Guido, that's why Barbara Streisand never got plastic surgery for her nose.
	11:03am dc pat: oh. so I should buy those instead of stupid old regular lemons when I see them?
	11:04am Cecile: meyer lemons have less acid, so not neccessarily.
	♥ 11:04am Brian in UK: Are they waxed or unwaxed?
	11:05am dc pat: k, got it, hanx
	11:05am βrian: The deep, oily frangrance of good meyers is hypnotic. Dense almond/lemon cake with a drizzle of the juice. Ecstasy!
	11:05am βrian: Never waxed. The peel is the thing.
	♥ 11:05am Brian in UK: Joe that Calvin Arnold is a DOUBLE BRACKETED title.
	11:06am Carmichael: Heyo Joe and morning people.
	11:06am Cheri Pi: I'm not sure, but buy them anyway and just dunk them in very hot water and give a good scrub.
	♥ 11:06am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe + Commenters!
	♥ 11:07am Guido from Cologne: Must run! Loved this! See you!
	11:07am Cheri Pi: buy Meyer lemons!! They're only around for a while and they taste so fantastic.
	♥ 11:07am mariano: I love extreme metal band names! What's the one Diane K's been playing? Enbilulugugal or something like that? Tschuess, Guido!
	11:09am dc pat: @Pi: OK, ok!
	11:09am Dean: Renting a house here in Berkeley a few years ago, we had a Meyer lemon tree in the backyard. I used them almost daily. There was also a Gravenstein apple tree, the fruit of which was perfect for a buttery, cinnamon-y tart.
	11:10am Cecile: POLKA!
	♥ 11:11am DCE: is this going to rival the shock of "Point of No Return"??
	11:11am Cecile: I love me some polka.

	11:11am Parq: Polka time!
	11:11am kirk from beer city usa: I raided Mom's record collection many years ago. Didn't find much... Whipped Cream and Other Delights, a bunch of Bill Cosby LPs.
	11:12am Cheri Pi: Dean that sounds like pure bliss
	♥ 11:12am Sem Chumbo: Where are those cabbage rolls? They were just here...
	♥ 11:12am Greg from Bloomfield: Like Sunday morning at Grandma's. I have a sudden desire to go to Mass and eat pancakes...
	11:12am Cecile: We used to have polka radio shows and TV shows where I grew up. If you go to polka conventions, they have a polka mass. hahhahahah. church might actually be fun with that.
	11:12am Kurt Gottschalk: what about those of us who enjoy being horrified?
	♥ 11:12am DCE: I've been raiding mom's record collection since I was in single digits...mom was into psych and prog, though
	11:12am kirk from beer city usa: Dad's was better: Willie, Waylon, Johnny. Also Bill Withers and Ray Charles.
	11:13am Cecile: Sem, I have the coffee. Yum! Yum! Yum!
	11:13am βrian: Polka in homeopathic doses is good for you, but beware ...
	11:13am Carmichael: A quick comments review shows a love of tequila and cachasa. You folks are crazy. I've had both. Cachasa causes hallucinations, and tequila is a good furniture-throwing alcohol.
	♥ 11:13am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: If only I could drink beer at work! And now i need a pretzel.
	11:13am Rev. Turnip Druid: Polka is pretty damned happy, I'll grant that. But I've always thought of classic Bhangra as the happiest music in the universe. (not the modern DJ perversion of it, but the old-timey acoustic stuff). . . .. short of that, Polka will do nicely.
	♥ 11:13am DCE: that is until the 80s destroyed her ability to judge right from wrong
	♥ 11:13am 12539: Joe, did you have keilbasa for Easter?
	11:13am dc pat: I'm going to see Clem Burke play drums tonight. psyched.

	11:15am dc pat: @Rev: totally agree on the Bhangra....
	11:15am Carmichael: Is this the Schmenge Brothers??
	11:16am Cheri Pi: I scored some Readers' Digest fat box sets from my grandmothers phonograph collection :/
	11:16am Jeff: And then, just to slide things smoothly in a slightly odder direction, time for great dance band and team of musicological explorers Brave Combo next...
	11:16am βrian: I'm with you on Cachaça. And grappa strikes fear into my heart.
	11:16am nardo: It's time for Polka Varieties with your host, Joe Schmenge!
	11:16am Cecile: My mom liked the Carpenters and Ferrante and Teicher. My dad liked Charley Pride and Glen Campbell. But we had Mom's dad's Hank Williams 10 inches. And my aunt Sigri's "conucopia of sound" (TM Dad) of Mantovani, 3 Suns and Martin Denny.
	♥ 11:17am DCE: and now it's the time of day when I click boxes for hours on end
	11:17am Cecile: when I brought 3 Dog Night and War and 10cc into our home it was like a bomb went off.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @nardo: An-na one, an-na two...
	11:18am βrian: My most beloved cat was The Goof. Damn, I miss her.
	11:18am Cecile: I hope you have "In Heaven There Is No Beer..."
	11:18am Carmichael: @Cecile: 3 Suns, Martin Denny, Les Baxter, anything tiki or cha-cha from the 60s. They accentuate the Bill Cosby, Herb Alpert and Baja Marimba Band albums wonderfully.
	11:18am Dean: One part polka, two parts Slivovitz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVGeDZC7n5o My mom's record collection included the LP with Burt Bacharach's "Mexican Divorce," my vote for best pop song of all time.
	11:19am Cecile: Joe, are you familiar with the Tamburitzians?
	11:19am βrian: This really calls for some bandoneon music, you know?
	11:19am Jeff: @Cecile: Ferrante and Teicher got pretty wonderfully weird sometimes... Four-handed prepared piano sounding like it was underwater...
	♥ 11:20am mariano: @kirk: Some of those old Cosby albums are a scream! This Ostanek is the same song they were using in European Vacation during the part in Bavaria where Chevy Chase was in lederhosen doing a traditional, dance that led to a fight, no?
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: @Cecile: I am! And, no, no "In Heaven There Is No Beer." This is WFMU, after all. We go obscure!
	11:20am Cecile: they did, Jeff!
	11:21am Cecile: The "Tammies" can bring it. I saw them a couple of times back in the day. Joe, just because it's known doesn't mean it's not great!
	11:21am Brendan: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bmx5CI9Hxk4
	11:21am Jeff: The tune for that Tic Toc Polka sounded an awful lot like that for "In Heaven..."
	11:22am Cecile: Carm, oh yes. Lots of Herb Alpert and Baja Marimba Band.
	♥ 11:23am mariano: There's a great pic of Ferrante and Teicher where they look like a couple of 60s English gangsters played by Michael Caine and Oliver Reed: ecx.images-amazon.com...
	11:23am βrian: Bandoneon: youtu.be...
	11:23am Cecile: the most thankless job in music. Polka drummer.
	11:24am Cecile: hahhahahah. They also look like twin Jemaine Clements.
	11:24am Cecile: Or Stephen Fry and Jemaine Clement. hahahahah

	♥ 11:27am mariano: @Cecile: Haha! To me it looks like I've just accidentally walked in on them in mid-smooch, and now they're trying to decide how to dispose of my body! Not that I have that many fantasies of being dismembered by piano duos, mind you!

	11:29am Cecile: brian, cos voice riggggggggggggggght.
	11:29am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Is the music where people dance and go up to their partner and slap them in the face?
	11:30am Rev. Turnip Druid: I see potential in a goth-polka movement.
	11:30am Rev. Turnip Druid: ...or BLACK POLKA.
	♥ 11:31am mariano: @Brian: Thanks for the tip, I will do that! Far as sad polkas, I've wondered from time to time if it's possible to write a tragic limerick.
	11:31am βrian: My tuning is wandering ...

	♥ 11:32am mariano: Black Polka! Great one! Imagine the vocals!
	♥ 11:32am Brian in UK: Theremin Polka anyone?
	11:32am Cecile: Brian, yeah, it is. The Noah movie seems like it would be better if it was a Cosby comedy routine. Iced Mirth, Cheri.
	11:33am Brendan: My affection for Polka is rather limited to girls in Polka dot bikinis circa 1960s.
	♥ 11:33am mariano: I think when polka is sad they call it klezmer...

	11:35am dc pat: I'm German and I hate sauerkraut. You can keep most German food actually except dumplings, spaetzel, stuff like that.
	11:36am Carmichael: @Cecile: Oh, and don't forget the Dukes of Dixieland. Authentic fake New Orleans pseudo ragtime jazz from LA studio musicians.
	♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: Is there a Barnacle Bill in the house?
	♥ 11:36am KK: Vielen dank Joe fur diesen Polkas! I've got this going in my office right now (as if my coworkers didn't my tastes were bizarre enough)
	11:37am V Priceless: insert "Hey!" as needed!
	11:37am dc pat: HEY!
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: @KK: Ha ha ha! Some Polish soul music will do them good!
	11:38am Cecile: This has been a great polka set, Joe. Keep 'em coming.
	11:38am βrian: The operative word there is "some."
	11:39am Carmichael: Bobby Bittman did a great Polish song medley on the Sammy Maudlin show.
	♥ 11:39am mariano: There's a good low-budget documentary on this polka band leader/con artist called The Man Who Would Be Polka King: www.imdb.com... Used to be on Netflix streaming, but apparently not anymore.
	11:40am Cecile: It's 1,000,000% true!
	♥ 11:40am Mike East: 120 HS students from god knows where filing past my office making a great cacauphony. help!
	11:40am dc pat: best set ever. Johnstown, PA use to have a great folkfest. Could always catch some great polka there. They fucked it up though and nobody goes anymore.
	♥ 11:40am BarbR: Totally digging the polka set! Grew up taking Polish folk dancing classes, and listening to my Dad's polka albums. Brings back great memories. :-)
	11:40am V Priceless: haha...Bobby Bittman..."gimmie a dee dee dee, and a da da da..and whatever the hell else you wanna throw in there!"
	♥ 11:41am KK: whoops excuse my ignorance, Polish indeed :)
	♥ 11:42am mariano: @Carmichael: Oh man, I'm am SCTV fanatic. All those guys are so underrated, Eugene Levy is always typecast as the nerdy dad type now, which is odd, because so many of his characters had that barely-contained explosive rage, like Bittman.
	11:42am βrian: Nobody goes anymore? Because it's too crowded?
	11:43am dr neil tyson degrasse: Polka hole in the space time continuum
	11:44am Carmichael: Bobby was making the move from comedic brilliance to dramatic Ack-tore. His remake of On the Waterfront was a thing of beauty.
	♥ 11:44am Mike East: can't tell you how much I'd rather be voluteering at wfmu than working today.
	♥ 11:44am common: got my swag this week. thanks volunteers!
	♥ 11:45am mariano: @Carmichael: Absolutely! And remember when Bittmann has his kid brother (Rick Moranis, another underrated genius) on Maudlin, who completely screwed up his act, and they get into this screaming match in Yiddish? Absolutely brilliant.
	11:46am V Priceless: @ Carmichael....I'm thinking of the band-leader/song writer character Martin Short played....wasn't that Bittman? Been a while...and mind is going...
	♥ 11:46am Mike East: Rick Moranis is goddamn hilarious
	11:46am Carmichael: @mariano: Skip Bittman.
	♥ 11:47am Rich in Washington: Record Store Day has become Black Friday. The only thing more pathetic than watching people fighting over a blender at Walmart is watching newbie vinyl fanatic hipsters fight over a limited edition REO Speedwagon reissue.
	11:47am βrian: Speaking of hand made, I always marvelled at notion of hand made potato chips. I mean, that oil is hot! The attrition rate must be remarkable.
	♥ 11:47am DCE: haha, I agree, Rich...I stayed home
	11:48am Cecile: I went one year, got a bunch of stuff and figured I would do more good shopping the other 364 days of the year.
	♥ 11:48am Rich in Washington: Record stores get plenty of my dough over the remaining 364 days.
	♥ 11:48am mariano: @Carmichael: Yes! @V Priceless: I know who you mean, brilliant character too, the old Broadway hack. Used to appear on Billy Crystal's sendup of the Joe Franklin show, as I recall, but maybe he was on SCTV too. Skip Bittman: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:48am Rich in Washington: @Cecile: JINX!
	11:49am βrian: We're way ahead of you. We have reel-to-reel days around here.
	11:49am Brendan: Yosh and Stan Schmege polka: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nGsvZrJxMTA
	11:50am Carmichael: That was Jackie Rogers Jr., the albino tin-pan alley type actor and formerly one of The Seven Little Rogers, a family act.
	♥ 11:50am Rich in Washington: I sure appreciate SCTV more now that I understand all the old timey show biz and TV comedy references
	♥ 11:50am Brian in UK: Looks like Paul Weller is no fan of RSD. www.independent.co.uk...
	♥ 11:51am Rich in Washington: I also loved Short's grown up, long-in-the-tooth child actor Rusty.
	♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: Crackin' show, Joe. What's new.
	11:52am V Priceless: @ mariano and Carmichael - Yes!! Haha! Thanks for the refresher!
	♥ 11:52am Sem Chumbo: Dear Prudence AND Gabor! Love his touch w/ these tunes.
	♥ 11:52am Rich in Washington: @BitUK: yes. That article nailed it. The limited edition, greedy grabber mentality made it even more annoying for me. Most record store owners I know feel obliged to participate in some way but it's generally a pain for them.
	11:54am V Priceless: alas I failed to score the Devo Live at Max's '77 vinyl....maybe there's still hope!
	11:54am βrian: An emerging trend is MP3s encoded as B&W pixel regions on VHS tape. Only the die-hards appreciate the transcoded visual background hiss of these paintstakingly re-mastered versions.
	11:55am Parq: Besides, the FMU record fair is just weeks away. Gotta save my dimes for that!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Have a happy week full of polka!
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: Joe, well thanks for making me late for dog walking, AGAIN. @Parq yeah just rub it in (Record Fair)
	11:56am βrian: I love Nilsson's rendition of "Marry Me a Little."
	♥ 11:57am mariano: Thanks Joe, and bye everyone! Great listenin' and gabbin'!
	11:57am Brendan: So long Joe
	♥ 11:58am KK: thanks~~
	♥ 11:59am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
