	👻 9:38am Brian in UK: Joe, I cannot recommend Willy Vlautin's new set up The Delines album too highly. thedelines.bandcamp.com
	9:44am Greg from Bloomfield: I would like to see a Wrestlemania-style cage match between the Incredible Bongo Band and the The Incredible String Band.
	9:46am SueAdynamo: I had a dream last night that i dropped my son off at the WRONG ARMORY!
	9:50am d¢ pät: I had a dream I was playing George Harrison's 12 string Rick but it was black and plugged into some amazing amp. It sounded fantastic but, of course, I kept getting interrupted by dumb shit going on around me...
	9:50am Joe McG: @SueA: Ha ha!
	9:55am czechano: morning all! I'm the only one in the office, so getting plenty of procrastination done.
	9:56am Rev. Turnip Druid: Righteous vibes, Pi. Don't let the bastids...
	9:58am Rev. Turnip Druid: We're in the middle of selling th' Druid House -- buyer's inspection is done (no deal-breakers there), appraiser is gonna give it the white-glove test today.... We're pissin' carpet tacks waiting for this to be over.
	10:00am czechano: I got my record fair coupon in the mai- if only I lived on the quad state area and not in Texas. I think next year I will plan my vacation around this joyous occasion, but I also want to go to that Coney Island Mermaid Parade. Hmmm.
	10:04am Joe McG: @czechano: You might see a mermaid at the Record Fair. It's possible!
	10:04am KP: Wish i could go Sunday. Rule 1, never tell your plans to anybody and they won't know enough to ruin them.
	10:06am d¢ pät: good luck Rev. Never had to sell a house yet..
	10:08am d¢ pät: buying a house scared the crap out of me. mrs. dc pat and I spent every last cent we had on it and there ain't no help coming from anywhere else.
	10:10am Cecile: hola, all!
	10:10am common: that is frightening dc pat. fortunatley, i will never be able to buy a house. my credit is in the crapper.
	10:11am common: and good vibes to you, rev.!
	👻 10:12am 12539: This set reminds me of that nice young lady who had this slot before you, Joe.
	10:12am d¢ pät: my credit, money, everything else would be in the crapper if it weren't for mrs. dc pat...
	10:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: Understood, DCP. This was our first buy -- 8 yrs ago in a "transitioning" neighborhood. Well dammit, it's transitioned and I wanna be a filthy communist renter again. As long as there's room for the owner of that tongue <-----
	10:14am V Priceless: hey Ce - careful with that Pixies chatter, k? Sheesh... : )
	10:14am Joe McG: @12539: I think I'm channeling...
	👻 10:15am 12539: If you post an animated gif I will scream.
	10:15am Cecile: Someone must have been bending his ear, that's all I can think...I'll cut him some slack. ahhaha 12539, my thoughts.
	10:16am d¢ pät: huh, interesting take on the dwelling process. not sure I could rent anymore, that was frustrating as hell.
	10:17am Cecile: I want a condo by the riverside when I retire. BUt it will probably be a small ranch house in a burb in some city by a bus line.
	10:17am V Priceless: that's very righteous of you, C!
	10:18am Greg from Bloomfield: I was actually thinking that Faye took you hostage and started playing records...
	10:18am Cecile: He's been super cool and holds no grudges. Yeah, I might have to say 'maintain the twee" and split soon if it doesn't funk, rock or pop up soon.
	10:19am Cecile: yeah, this is more like it.
	10:19am adrian in mpls: I love being a filthy communist renter! Homeownership--ick!
	10:19am d¢ pät: I want to live in a museum on a farm...or by the ocean...
	10:20am V Priceless: wow..haven't heard Dana Gillespie in ages - nice!
	10:20am Kate: lovin the tunes this morning!
	10:20am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Diggin' this Dana Gillespie tune.
	10:21am d¢ pät: I don't mind the communist part but paying some rich guy to live in a dump while constantly fighting the neighbors is not on my list of fun anymore.
	👻 10:21am Brian in UK: I am waiting for commercials for hair grooming products to lightening up the airwaves.
	10:21am Cecile: Our house and credit story is boring. But we've also made a lot of choices to make both things pretty uneventful. I like having something of my own and I'm not at the mercy of new owners or landlords. We rented FOREVER so ownership is pretty sweet. We just have to get back on the stick in terms of handyman stuff.
	10:21am Joe McG: Thanks, Kate! @Greg: She's put her stamp on it. It's like when I did a calypso set, everyone said I was copying Irwin!
	10:22am Cecile: I can never hear a calypso set ever again, and be happy. I think it's just one song with different lyrics.
	10:22am d¢ pät: yeah Cecile, I gotta LOT of shit to fix around the house, sheesh!
	10:24am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yeah, but what lyrics! I love calypso.
	10:26am Greg from Bloomfield: Case in point: "Muhammad Ali" by Mr. Calypso.
	10:26am Stevel: I pretty much lived at the 7-Eleven from 6th through 8th grade. Had a paper route, with money to burn. Its where I discovered Creem magazine, got a cat (from a lady planning to dump two kittens) played LOTS of pinball and bought my first illegal alcohol with help from the clerk.
	10:27am Cecile: I drank a hell of a lot of Slurpees there, and ate many Hostess fruit pies
	👻 10:28am Brian in UK: Joe, now some steel drum, maybe the Desperadoes from Trini. Play Mas (masquerade) at the carnival.
	10:29am Cecile: I do love some steel drum.
	10:29am Cecile: Booker T!
	10:33am Stevel: Cecile: Fruit pies and doughnut gems, topped off by a bottle of Tropicana orange juice (which tasted AWFUL with all that sugar.) Many Icees as well as polish sausages out of the tin-topped warmer. [burp]
	10:34am fleep: In time for Single File? In time for Single File!
	10:35am Joe McG: Right on time, fleep!
	10:36am Sem Chumbo: Phew, made it by a minute. Love the calibre of this part of the show. Hello, Joe, and all.
	10:37am d¢ pät: I worked at a Hattie Harris in PA which is like a 7-11. I spent the whole time throwing kids out who were trying to steal candy and sneaking into the frig room for some sips off my Fosters Lager...
	10:39am Cecile: stevel, sounds yummy.
	10:40am Cheri Pi: OMG a Betty 45!
	10:40am Greg from Bloomfield: 7-11 is where I got my chops on a Street Fighter II machine. In the back, next to the mop bucket.
	👻 10:40am 12539: @d¢pät: I wonder how many of those kids are listening to wfmu today.
	10:41am DCE: ok, Betty, you got the job
	10:43am Greg from Bloomfield: HEAVY D! Never heard this before...
	10:43am Brendan: Heres your Betty. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pz1rjq5emKY
	10:43am Cecile: I gotta post a link to the screwiest hip hop video ever: Heavy D's version...
	10:43am d¢ pät: @12539: those kids are all investment bankers now...
	10:44am Cecile: www.youtube.com...
	10:45am Asparagus: Blazing Loft classic!
	10:45am Cecile: wow that is a f'd up copy. Let me post a better link
	10:46am Cecile: www.youtube.com...
	10:47am Cecile: "I am going to wear a plastic garbage bag suit and make it look bad ass."
	10:47am Cecile: the dude in the transparent shorts set rules
	10:48am common: thanks for that, cecile!
	10:48am Brendan: Hashtag Trashbag
	10:49am Cecile: hahahhaa brendan. You got the feeling that IRL Heav had a complete rainwear wardrobe
	10:51am Brendan: I love the solemn /groovy vibe
	10:51am V Priceless: IMO the greatest calypso record is Robert Mitchum's "Calypso Is Like So" from '57. Believe it or not, brilliant!
	10:52am Cecile: awesome. his other hit was ripped off by FoTC to hilarious effect.
	10:53am Greg from Bloomfield: Heavy D's "Don't Curse" is not only the greatest posse cut ever, but arguably the greatest ANYTHING ever.
	10:53am Cecile: I miss him all the damn time, Greg.
	10:56am Cecile: nothing like a wet hoopskirt contest.
	10:58am Slater: johnny cougar!
	10:58am DCE: huh, could've never heard this song again and been happy!
	10:59am fred: Cheri Pi! Have you let Joe hang out with that Clay Pigeon character again?
	10:59am Joe McG: @DCE: Playin' the crowdpleasers, as always!
	11:00am Cecile: Not my cup of tea, but I have plenty of musical skeletons in my own closet.
	11:00am Jeff: "I gave her a look like a dyin' calf in a hailstorm." So that's what works with the ladies!
	11:01am Joe McG: @Jeff: A poet!
	11:02am Brendan: John Cougar MenstrualCramp!
	11:02am Cecile: this is gorgeous
	11:04am pgw in mntclr: it's weird how that is later John Cougar, yet it's still 27 years old.
	11:06am Brendan: Beauty of a singles set, mr Joe!
	11:08am SueAdynamo: wow. one of the 1st albums i bought with my own $$!! And yeah - JCM by that time.
	11:09am Brendan: Its raining somewhere , that somewhere is Maryland
	11:09am pgw in mntclr: and it was a single from his 9th(!) album. [per wiki]
	11:12am Brendan: Far From the madding crowd's ignoble strife Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray; Along the cool sequester'd vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.
	11:12am common: wait, what? beer?
	11:12am doca: @Joe: I haven't understood anything you've said, but Tetê's song title translates as "A moonshine river", and moonshine is not the beverage...I'm here for your Portuguese language services, WFMU people, hi all!
	11:13am Cecile: hi, doca!
	11:14am Carmichael: Aloha, Joe and listeners.
	11:14am DCE: Oumar Konate is highly recommended...he WILL get you to dance!
	11:14am Jeff: I actually saw Third World live kind of by accident a few years back ('79 or probably early '80s?). They were on the same bill as Rickie Lee Jones, who's who we went to see. Mostly I remember that one guy in Third World had big yellow boots.
	11:16am Joe McG: @doca: Thanks very much for the translation!
	11:16am doca: @Cecile: hi, Cecile! I've been missing the WFMU comment board and tons of conversation around it
	11:18am DCE: Mike Cooper sounds like he was hangin' round Jimmy Page back then
	11:18am Cecile: Is this Meic Cooper?
	11:22am Joe McG: @Cecile: Are you thinking of Meic Stevens?
	11:22am Manolo: I'm loving every moment of this song by Mike Cooper
	11:23am Brendan: This guy was Dave Mathews before Dave Mathews
	11:25am Cecile: Yeah, yeah. Got them mixed up.
	11:25am Joe McG: @Brendan: There's only one Dave Matthews, Brendan. I don't know how you could say such a thing about our Dave!
	11:27am pgw in mntclr: the mention of dave matthews just induced my fight-or-flight instinct
	11:28am Cecile: Insufficiently Breathless is a lovely song in both incarnations.
	11:28am common: holy shit! trans am still doin stuff? my band toured with them a couple times back in the...day. fun.
	11:28am Dean: This Trans Am...a nod to Pink Floyd's "Breathless"? More than a little Barclay James Harvest coursing through here, too.
	11:29am Joe McG: @Dean: I'm hearing that a bit, too!
	11:29am Cecile: It sounds like Captain Beyond's Insufficiently Breathless.
	11:29am Dean: Er, Pink Floyd's "Fearless"!
	11:30am Cecile: Whoops, Sufficiently Breathless...
	11:31am Manolo: Let's sue them!! (j/k)
	👻 11:32am 12539: (Joe always gets so pensive after Single File.)
	11:34am V Priceless: Capt. Beyond! Great stuff.
	11:36am Cecile: you are an old soul, Joe
	11:38am Joe McG: @Cecile: I'm an old body, too!
	11:39am bobdoesthings: @joe.. what about the mind? Where is that at?
	11:39am Brendan: Nice Chet
	11:39am DCE: sounds great, love this tune
	11:40am Cecile: old-ish. you're still pretty young.
	11:40am Dean: Did you all see where Captain Beyond is reforming to do a record of contemporary love songs?
	11:42am DCE: there was a rumor that Capt Beyond was coming to CLE for a show but so far it has fizzled....keeping my fingers x'd
	👻 11:42am 12539: Is he saying she isn't a lady?
	11:42am Dean: "Captain Beyoncé"
	11:42am DCE: oh she's definitely NOT a lady
	11:43am Dean: ...sorry...
	11:43am Cecile: hhahaha
	11:44am V Priceless: @ Dean - don't scare me with that kinda stuff! My heart can't take it.
	11:45am Dean: Again, my apologies, V Priceless. And as soon as your message appeared, the stream cut out. I thought maybe something really dreadful had happened all due to a dumb pun.
	11:45am Joe McG: OOPS!
	11:46am pgw in mntclr: [nostalgic 90s' matador feelings]
	11:46am bobdoesthings: OH MAN.. I remember this band.. was just mentioning this on Ken's show yesterday morning.. One of the first bands I got into as a young young lad.
	👻 11:46am James in ATL: It's all good Joe. Love this song.
	11:47am Sem Chumbo: Most excellent music and talk. Surface Noise is solid gold underneath. Thanks, Joe, and see you next time.
	11:48am Jeff: Speaking just for myself, the only thing about occasional DJ slipups which bothers me in the least is that they can send me running to make sure the radio station isn't broken. Otherwise, it's kind of charming.
	11:48am bobdoesthings: I love Bettie Serveerts album of VU covers.. my first experience with VU
	11:49am bobdoesthings: when I was like 13..
	11:49am V Priceless: @ Dean - just kidding! I love that kinda band name word-play stuff! : )
	11:49am Cecile: One of the 90s bands I actually liked at the time
	11:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Sem! Be back with the usual grace next week!
	11:50am DCE: The Clientele always just melts me
	11:50am V Priceless: Thank-you Joe! Fine program, as usual!
	11:50am DCE: gonna have to get this reissue, can't miss a track
	11:50am Laura L: You know The Clientele's coming to town again, I bet--July date in Bklyn.
	11:52am DCE: here's hoping they come further west.
	11:52am Dean: Never heard The Clientele before. I'm just that old. But, back with the group comparisons, I'm catching J&MC channeled through Mojave 3.
	11:53am Joe McG: @Laura: Thanks for the info!
	11:54am Laura L: @DCE, yes--they are--they are on Facebook nowadays... 19 July - Baby's All Right, Brooklyn, NYC 20 July - Boot and Saddle, Philadelphia, PA 22 July - Black Cat, Washington DC 23 July - The Southern, Charlottesville, VA 24 July - Cat's Cradle, Carrboro, NC 26 July - The Satellite, LA 27 July - The Chapel, San Francisco
	11:55am DCE: ugh, nowhere near me
	11:55am Mike East: enjoyed the show this morning, Joe!
	11:56am Cecile: Isn't RIP the extra tracks on the Zombies box set?
	11:56am common: thanks joe! great zomies tune to go out on!
	11:56am Laura L: You're very welcome, Joe. Aw, that's too bad, DCE--maybe you need a July road trip!
	11:56am Guido from Cologne: Loved the show! Thank you Joe!
	11:57am Joe McG: Thanks, Mike! Thanks all for listening and commenting! (@Cecile: Yeah, nothin' new except for an unreleased mix on this one. If you have Zombie Heaven, you have it all!) Bye, folks!
	👻 11:57am 12539: Thanks and thanks again, Joe.
	11:58am Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks, Joe! See you this weekend!
	11:58am Cecile: I do! Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am bobdoesthings: great show joe! thanks
	11:58am KP: What!

	9:46am SueAdynamo: I had a dream last night that i dropped my son off at the WRONG ARMORY!
	9:50am d¢ pät: I had a dream I was playing George Harrison's 12 string Rick but it was black and plugged into some amazing amp. It sounded fantastic but, of course, I kept getting interrupted by dumb shit going on around me...
	9:50am Joe McG: @SueA: Ha ha!
	9:55am czechano: morning all! I'm the only one in the office, so getting plenty of procrastination done.
	9:56am Rev. Turnip Druid: Righteous vibes, Pi. Don't let the bastids...
	9:58am Rev. Turnip Druid: We're in the middle of selling th' Druid House -- buyer's inspection is done (no deal-breakers there), appraiser is gonna give it the white-glove test today.... We're pissin' carpet tacks waiting for this to be over.
	10:00am czechano: I got my record fair coupon in the mai- if only I lived on the quad state area and not in Texas. I think next year I will plan my vacation around this joyous occasion, but I also want to go to that Coney Island Mermaid Parade. Hmmm.
	10:04am Joe McG: @czechano: You might see a mermaid at the Record Fair. It's possible!
	10:04am KP: Wish i could go Sunday. Rule 1, never tell your plans to anybody and they won't know enough to ruin them.
	10:06am d¢ pät: good luck Rev. Never had to sell a house yet..
	10:08am d¢ pät: buying a house scared the crap out of me. mrs. dc pat and I spent every last cent we had on it and there ain't no help coming from anywhere else.
	10:10am Cecile: hola, all!
	10:10am common: that is frightening dc pat. fortunatley, i will never be able to buy a house. my credit is in the crapper.
	10:11am common: and good vibes to you, rev.!
	👻 10:12am 12539: This set reminds me of that nice young lady who had this slot before you, Joe.
	10:12am d¢ pät: my credit, money, everything else would be in the crapper if it weren't for mrs. dc pat...
	10:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: Understood, DCP. This was our first buy -- 8 yrs ago in a "transitioning" neighborhood. Well dammit, it's transitioned and I wanna be a filthy communist renter again. As long as there's room for the owner of that tongue <-----
	10:14am V Priceless: hey Ce - careful with that Pixies chatter, k? Sheesh... : )
	10:14am Joe McG: @12539: I think I'm channeling...
	👻 10:15am 12539: If you post an animated gif I will scream.
	10:15am Cecile: Someone must have been bending his ear, that's all I can think...I'll cut him some slack. ahhaha 12539, my thoughts.
	10:16am d¢ pät: huh, interesting take on the dwelling process. not sure I could rent anymore, that was frustrating as hell.
	10:17am Cecile: I want a condo by the riverside when I retire. BUt it will probably be a small ranch house in a burb in some city by a bus line.
	10:17am V Priceless: that's very righteous of you, C!
	10:18am Greg from Bloomfield: I was actually thinking that Faye took you hostage and started playing records...
	10:18am Cecile: He's been super cool and holds no grudges. Yeah, I might have to say 'maintain the twee" and split soon if it doesn't funk, rock or pop up soon.
	10:19am Cecile: yeah, this is more like it.
	10:19am adrian in mpls: I love being a filthy communist renter! Homeownership--ick!
	10:19am d¢ pät: I want to live in a museum on a farm...or by the ocean...
	10:20am V Priceless: wow..haven't heard Dana Gillespie in ages - nice!
	10:20am Kate: lovin the tunes this morning!
	10:20am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Diggin' this Dana Gillespie tune.
	10:21am d¢ pät: I don't mind the communist part but paying some rich guy to live in a dump while constantly fighting the neighbors is not on my list of fun anymore.
	👻 10:21am Brian in UK: I am waiting for commercials for hair grooming products to lightening up the airwaves.
	10:21am Cecile: Our house and credit story is boring. But we've also made a lot of choices to make both things pretty uneventful. I like having something of my own and I'm not at the mercy of new owners or landlords. We rented FOREVER so ownership is pretty sweet. We just have to get back on the stick in terms of handyman stuff.
	10:21am Joe McG: Thanks, Kate! @Greg: She's put her stamp on it. It's like when I did a calypso set, everyone said I was copying Irwin!
	10:22am Cecile: I can never hear a calypso set ever again, and be happy. I think it's just one song with different lyrics.
	10:22am d¢ pät: yeah Cecile, I gotta LOT of shit to fix around the house, sheesh!
	10:24am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yeah, but what lyrics! I love calypso.
	10:26am Greg from Bloomfield: Case in point: "Muhammad Ali" by Mr. Calypso.
	10:26am Stevel: I pretty much lived at the 7-Eleven from 6th through 8th grade. Had a paper route, with money to burn. Its where I discovered Creem magazine, got a cat (from a lady planning to dump two kittens) played LOTS of pinball and bought my first illegal alcohol with help from the clerk.
	10:27am Cecile: I drank a hell of a lot of Slurpees there, and ate many Hostess fruit pies
	👻 10:28am Brian in UK: Joe, now some steel drum, maybe the Desperadoes from Trini. Play Mas (masquerade) at the carnival.
	10:29am Cecile: I do love some steel drum.
	10:29am Cecile: Booker T!
	10:33am Stevel: Cecile: Fruit pies and doughnut gems, topped off by a bottle of Tropicana orange juice (which tasted AWFUL with all that sugar.) Many Icees as well as polish sausages out of the tin-topped warmer. [burp]
	10:34am fleep: In time for Single File? In time for Single File!
	10:35am Joe McG: Right on time, fleep!
	10:36am Sem Chumbo: Phew, made it by a minute. Love the calibre of this part of the show. Hello, Joe, and all.
	10:37am d¢ pät: I worked at a Hattie Harris in PA which is like a 7-11. I spent the whole time throwing kids out who were trying to steal candy and sneaking into the frig room for some sips off my Fosters Lager...
	10:39am Cecile: stevel, sounds yummy.
	10:40am Cheri Pi: OMG a Betty 45!
	10:40am Greg from Bloomfield: 7-11 is where I got my chops on a Street Fighter II machine. In the back, next to the mop bucket.
	👻 10:40am 12539: @d¢pät: I wonder how many of those kids are listening to wfmu today.
	10:41am DCE: ok, Betty, you got the job
	10:43am Greg from Bloomfield: HEAVY D! Never heard this before...
	10:43am Brendan: Heres your Betty. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pz1rjq5emKY
	10:43am Cecile: I gotta post a link to the screwiest hip hop video ever: Heavy D's version...
	10:43am d¢ pät: @12539: those kids are all investment bankers now...
	10:44am Cecile: www.youtube.com...
	10:45am Asparagus: Blazing Loft classic!
	10:45am Cecile: wow that is a f'd up copy. Let me post a better link
	10:46am Cecile: www.youtube.com...
	10:47am Cecile: "I am going to wear a plastic garbage bag suit and make it look bad ass."
	10:47am Cecile: the dude in the transparent shorts set rules
	10:48am common: thanks for that, cecile!
	10:48am Brendan: Hashtag Trashbag
	10:49am Cecile: hahahhaa brendan. You got the feeling that IRL Heav had a complete rainwear wardrobe
	10:51am Brendan: I love the solemn /groovy vibe
	10:51am V Priceless: IMO the greatest calypso record is Robert Mitchum's "Calypso Is Like So" from '57. Believe it or not, brilliant!
	10:52am Cecile: awesome. his other hit was ripped off by FoTC to hilarious effect.
	10:53am Greg from Bloomfield: Heavy D's "Don't Curse" is not only the greatest posse cut ever, but arguably the greatest ANYTHING ever.
	10:53am Cecile: I miss him all the damn time, Greg.
	10:56am Cecile: nothing like a wet hoopskirt contest.
	10:58am Slater: johnny cougar!
	10:58am DCE: huh, could've never heard this song again and been happy!
	10:59am fred: Cheri Pi! Have you let Joe hang out with that Clay Pigeon character again?
	10:59am Joe McG: @DCE: Playin' the crowdpleasers, as always!
	11:00am Cecile: Not my cup of tea, but I have plenty of musical skeletons in my own closet.
	11:00am Jeff: "I gave her a look like a dyin' calf in a hailstorm." So that's what works with the ladies!
	11:01am Joe McG: @Jeff: A poet!
	11:02am Brendan: John Cougar MenstrualCramp!
	11:02am Cecile: this is gorgeous
	11:04am pgw in mntclr: it's weird how that is later John Cougar, yet it's still 27 years old.
	11:06am Brendan: Beauty of a singles set, mr Joe!
	11:08am SueAdynamo: wow. one of the 1st albums i bought with my own $$!! And yeah - JCM by that time.
	11:09am Brendan: Its raining somewhere , that somewhere is Maryland
	11:09am pgw in mntclr: and it was a single from his 9th(!) album. [per wiki]
	11:12am Brendan: Far From the madding crowd's ignoble strife Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray; Along the cool sequester'd vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.
	11:12am common: wait, what? beer?
	11:12am doca: @Joe: I haven't understood anything you've said, but Tetê's song title translates as "A moonshine river", and moonshine is not the beverage...I'm here for your Portuguese language services, WFMU people, hi all!
	11:13am Cecile: hi, doca!
	11:14am Carmichael: Aloha, Joe and listeners.
	11:14am DCE: Oumar Konate is highly recommended...he WILL get you to dance!
	11:14am Jeff: I actually saw Third World live kind of by accident a few years back ('79 or probably early '80s?). They were on the same bill as Rickie Lee Jones, who's who we went to see. Mostly I remember that one guy in Third World had big yellow boots.
	11:16am Joe McG: @doca: Thanks very much for the translation!
	11:16am doca: @Cecile: hi, Cecile! I've been missing the WFMU comment board and tons of conversation around it
	11:18am DCE: Mike Cooper sounds like he was hangin' round Jimmy Page back then
	11:18am Cecile: Is this Meic Cooper?
	11:22am Joe McG: @Cecile: Are you thinking of Meic Stevens?
	11:22am Manolo: I'm loving every moment of this song by Mike Cooper
	11:23am Brendan: This guy was Dave Mathews before Dave Mathews
	11:25am Cecile: Yeah, yeah. Got them mixed up.
	11:25am Joe McG: @Brendan: There's only one Dave Matthews, Brendan. I don't know how you could say such a thing about our Dave!
	11:27am pgw in mntclr: the mention of dave matthews just induced my fight-or-flight instinct
	11:28am Cecile: Insufficiently Breathless is a lovely song in both incarnations.
	11:28am common: holy shit! trans am still doin stuff? my band toured with them a couple times back in the...day. fun.
	11:28am Dean: This Trans Am...a nod to Pink Floyd's "Breathless"? More than a little Barclay James Harvest coursing through here, too.
	11:29am Joe McG: @Dean: I'm hearing that a bit, too!
	11:29am Cecile: It sounds like Captain Beyond's Insufficiently Breathless.
	11:29am Dean: Er, Pink Floyd's "Fearless"!
	11:30am Cecile: Whoops, Sufficiently Breathless...
	11:31am Manolo: Let's sue them!! (j/k)
	👻 11:32am 12539: (Joe always gets so pensive after Single File.)
	11:34am V Priceless: Capt. Beyond! Great stuff.
	11:36am Cecile: you are an old soul, Joe
	11:38am Joe McG: @Cecile: I'm an old body, too!
	11:39am bobdoesthings: @joe.. what about the mind? Where is that at?
	11:39am Brendan: Nice Chet
	11:39am DCE: sounds great, love this tune
	11:40am Cecile: old-ish. you're still pretty young.
	11:40am Dean: Did you all see where Captain Beyond is reforming to do a record of contemporary love songs?
	11:42am DCE: there was a rumor that Capt Beyond was coming to CLE for a show but so far it has fizzled....keeping my fingers x'd
	👻 11:42am 12539: Is he saying she isn't a lady?
	11:42am Dean: "Captain Beyoncé"
	11:42am DCE: oh she's definitely NOT a lady
	11:43am Dean: ...sorry...
	11:43am Cecile: hhahaha
	11:44am V Priceless: @ Dean - don't scare me with that kinda stuff! My heart can't take it.
	11:45am Dean: Again, my apologies, V Priceless. And as soon as your message appeared, the stream cut out. I thought maybe something really dreadful had happened all due to a dumb pun.
	11:45am Joe McG: OOPS!
	11:46am pgw in mntclr: [nostalgic 90s' matador feelings]
	11:46am bobdoesthings: OH MAN.. I remember this band.. was just mentioning this on Ken's show yesterday morning.. One of the first bands I got into as a young young lad.
	👻 11:46am James in ATL: It's all good Joe. Love this song.
	11:47am Sem Chumbo: Most excellent music and talk. Surface Noise is solid gold underneath. Thanks, Joe, and see you next time.
	11:48am Jeff: Speaking just for myself, the only thing about occasional DJ slipups which bothers me in the least is that they can send me running to make sure the radio station isn't broken. Otherwise, it's kind of charming.
	11:48am bobdoesthings: I love Bettie Serveerts album of VU covers.. my first experience with VU
	11:49am bobdoesthings: when I was like 13..
	11:49am V Priceless: @ Dean - just kidding! I love that kinda band name word-play stuff! : )
	11:49am Cecile: One of the 90s bands I actually liked at the time
	11:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Sem! Be back with the usual grace next week!
	11:50am DCE: The Clientele always just melts me
	11:50am V Priceless: Thank-you Joe! Fine program, as usual!
	11:50am DCE: gonna have to get this reissue, can't miss a track
	11:50am Laura L: You know The Clientele's coming to town again, I bet--July date in Bklyn.
	11:52am DCE: here's hoping they come further west.
	11:52am Dean: Never heard The Clientele before. I'm just that old. But, back with the group comparisons, I'm catching J&MC channeled through Mojave 3.
	11:53am Joe McG: @Laura: Thanks for the info!
	11:54am Laura L: @DCE, yes--they are--they are on Facebook nowadays... 19 July - Baby's All Right, Brooklyn, NYC 20 July - Boot and Saddle, Philadelphia, PA 22 July - Black Cat, Washington DC 23 July - The Southern, Charlottesville, VA 24 July - Cat's Cradle, Carrboro, NC 26 July - The Satellite, LA 27 July - The Chapel, San Francisco
