	9:03am SSS: Your the best, great for a rainy day. Welcome
	9:03am Cheri Pi: Signed in and ready for blast-off
	9:03am adrian in mpls: there's magic, and then there's sitar magic
	9:03am DCE: Hi guys. I can't listen right now. I have to sit through a mandatory video first. Suckage!
	9:05am Cheri Pi: Hugs DCE, I've been there...
	9:06am Cheri Pi: We've been playing around with the Ravish Sitar pedal at home, so much fun.
	9:06am Joe McG: Hi, y'all! yip yip and away...
	9:06am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Joe. Just the morning magic I craved...
	9:07am Dr. Goot: Morning!
	9:07am Brendan: Hi Joe , sitar heroes
	9:08am common: i've just decided that i want to teach meditation...even though i know nothing about it. there would be beer involved. maybe i'll just get a sitar instead.
	9:09am Sem Chumbo: Meditation and beer: focus on the head in both cases. Sweet.
	9:09am mauri: I feel the scorching one star, good day joe and everyone.
	9:10am adrian in mpls: @common - just have everyone sit on the floor (maybe on a nice carpet) with the beerz, put on some eliane radigue and--presto!--yr a meditation guru
	9:11am Cheri Pi: Sign me up common sensei.
	9:11am V Priceless: mornin' Joe and McGaskites
	9:12am common: hee hee! i'll let you know if i get it going.
	9:13am common: beery meditation with common sensei. i like it!
	9:14am northguineahills: I shouldn't like Pizzicato Five, but I always have for some reason. Katamari Damacy just cemented my love for them.
	9:14am OTB: Pizzicato Five really managed to re-work this Steppenwolf tune. I hardly recognized it!
	9:17am Joe McG: @OTB: Ha ha ha! You should hear what they do with "Born to Be Wild."
	9:18am Cecile: hola, all!
	9:18am micah: ah Pizzicato 5 brings me back to the heyday of the mid 90s...that bright sound of internet bubble optimism
	9:19am rob t: hey
	9:20am Ralphine: Ah. Good ol' Rachid & Fethi!
	9:20am Marcel M: Has anyone here BY ANY CHANCE IN HELL, ever done a walk in passport renewal at Cadman Plaza (downtown) post office in Brooklyn?
	9:22am northguineahills: @Marcel, I've been in building, but not for passport renewal. I've always just did everything online and then via mail for my passport renewal.
	9:23am Snowball: Nope.
	9:23am OTB: Marcel: I went to the Gramercy Post Office on 23rd in Manhattan. Not terribly painful.Might be worth a schlep.
	9:24am Marcel M: @OTB: Thanks, did you have to wait very long? I just have to go before work and want to avoid going RIGHT when they open if possible.
	9:24am Cecile: www.youtube.com...
	9:25am Marcel M: @North: Thanks, time is an issue here of course because I waited a bit too long...
	9:26am SeanG: Get it!
	9:27am rob t: nice dub!
	9:28am northguineahills: I've noticed most Manhattan post offices aren't too bad outside of lunch hours. I've never had a good experience in Brooklyn.
	9:30am Marcel M: Yeah and Cadman Plaza is kind of insane... I do work right there though. Hmmm. I shall pontificate and decide.
	9:31am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	9:32am OTB: Marcel - 'twas a few years back, but I don't remember more than one person being in front of me or having the process take long. I had all my shit together and was as pleasant as possible to the lady behind the counter which seemed to help.
	9:33am OTB: Turnaround time was fairly quick, too.
	9:34am Marcel M: @OTB: Thanks! Helps a lot. I fear it less now.
	9:34am Marcel M: Morning Bob!
	9:36am OTB: My pleasure
	9:37am Marcel M: Digging this Half Church!
	9:41am Marcel M: That makes quite a few LPs I've ordered because of this show, thanks Joe!
	9:43am Joe McG: @Marcel: It's a good 'ne!
	9:44am common: i'm still laughing at the beefaroni line i heard from morrissey yesterday!
	9:46am Joe McG: @common: This is his anti-marriage tract where he rhymes "laze" and "graze."
	9:46am scooter: morrissey is coming apart at the seams
	9:47am adrian in mpls: me too - although the "cancer of the prostate" rhyme was, uhm, pretty special too
	9:49am V Priceless: wow - I didn't know the Harvest label was still around
	9:51am common: hee, heard that 'un joe. and adrian - same here! Ha!
	9:51am Cecile: wonder if they started it up again.
	9:53am Cecile: WHY'S IT GOTTA BE A BRIDE?
	9:54am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe + everybody!
	9:55am Brendan: Was that by Sharknado?
	9:56am bobdoesthings: @brendan -- They're making a sharknado 2!!! or made it already..
	9:57am Cecile: It's made. It just debuted. I did not watch it.
	9:57am Joe McG: Bobby does like married ladies, unlike Morrissey.
	9:58am Cecile: this is a nicer version of "Breaking Up Somebody's Home"
	9:58am OTB: Joe - Ha ha ha!
	9:59am bobdoesthings: @Joe - that was a confusing line to read for me.. I was like" .. wait .. me?! well .. yeah sure.. "
	10:00am Cecile: For a "sensitive" (cough) guy, he can be kind of a dolt.
	10:00am Rectitude: Hi Cici and all
	10:01am Cecile: siggi! Willy!
	10:01am DCE: phew, mandatory video is complete, and I'm all ears
	10:04am rob t: begging a married woman to "give up your foolish pride" is, um, kinda weird.
	10:05am paula pc: oh, here we go
	10:05am common: oh man! haven't heard this meatloaf since i was a kid!
	10:06am Marcel M: Me too Common hahahah. I remember looking at the Bat Outta Hell album cover like whaaaat?!
	10:06am Cecile: argggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh
	10:06am paula pc: but you know what, there would be no Hedwig without Meat Loaf/J Steinman, is my guess
	10:06am Ralphine: Sharknado 2 was on TV last night, and it was excellent.
	10:07am Joe McG: Todd Rundgren said he produced the album because he liked the jokes.
	10:07am V Priceless: what Cecile said : )
	10:08am KP: I think my radio is broken
	10:10am Cecile: back
	👻 10:10am 12539: I step out for few minutes and come back to find someone's changed the station on me!
	10:11am DCE: whoa, you think this band was influenced by Uriah Heep a bit?
	10:12am glenn: welp, the bosox traded jon lester to the a's.
	10:13am common: me too, marcel. saw the album before i heard the tunes. wanted metal...got meatloaf.
	10:14am Marcel M: @Common: Same for me! I was getting into Black Sabbath at the time and was like, Woah check this out! And then I was like... What? hah.
	10:17am common: @marcel: exactly! but it has it's own strange place in my heart.
	10:17am Greg from Bloomfield: That's good– the A's are having a rough go of it this season...
	10:17am common: its
	10:17am paula pc: this is exactly what I wanted to hear this morning, and I didn't even know it
	10:18am Joe McG: @paula pc: :)
	10:19am tikk: Great set of bands I almost paid attention to but not really, all having a common thread I didn't quite realize until now.
	10:19am scooter: ahh, seventies, when we still sang about the American Dream
	10:20am glenn: yeah, and they're pretty easy to like, unlike the canseco, henderson, mcgwire teams. i hated those guys.
	10:23am Joe McG: Fake endings are also very 1970s.
	10:24am paula pc: that was one of the best, really!
	10:27am scooter: if he's a biker it's mudflap
	10:29am beavoux: Duke and the Drivers have an official website
	10:29am tikk: Sniper turned into Kid Blast, that may be what you're thinking of Joe.
	10:29am duke: Finally out of a meeting. Now I can concentrate on important stuff like Joe's show
	10:30am Cecile: Australians went for it probably because it was the only country in the world where the Rocky Horror Picture Show was an overground hit. Richard O'Brien was an Aussie, as was Little nell.
	10:32am beavoux: Bat out of Hell was a Springsteen Parody according to Todd
	10:33am Joe McG: Hi duke! @beauvoux: Yes, Todd thought it was hysterical. He said he put up with the "drudgery" of recording it since he got a kick out of how over-the-top it was. Stienman knew it, too. He was aiming for ridiculous.
	10:34am Ralphine: Who remembers listening to the King Biscuit Flower Hour on the radio?
	10:35am scooter: i remember the Flower Hour
	10:35am Marcel M: If you need a girlfriend ask the Wizard of Love haha
	10:35am Cecile: me, too!
	10:36am Ralphine: I used to listen to the Flower Hour every Sunday night after Billy Graham.
	10:36am beavoux: I did, many have been released on CD Inuding Humble Pie
	10:37am beavoux: Including
	10:38am Sem Chumbo: Whew, back in time for most of Single File, sorry to have missed KBK, though.
	10:38am KP: In Montreal, I saw a show that featured Crowbar without King Biscuit Boy plus the Full-Tilt Boogie Band minus Janis Joplin. Also on the bill was the Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Paul Butterfield. And then there was the Wackers.
	10:38am common: i used to listen, ralphine
	10:39am Joe McG: @KP: What a bill!
	10:39am V Priceless: KBFH was great! Some shows made it to CD, like 10cc from '75
	10:40am Jack: @KP - I was just going to mention the Crowbar/King Biscuit album. It's good.
	10:42am Cecile: nice - great Betty Wright song by Selector lady!
	10:42am Marcel M: Would be pretty cool if he was backed by the NOLA band Crowbar...
	10:44am OTB: CHILL WILLS!!!!
	10:45am Cecile: this sounds like a musical version of Reno 911!
	10:45am Greg from Bloomfield: This one is a noodle-scratcher.
	10:45am DCE: good stuff, Chill!
	10:46am Ralphine: First time I ever heard of Chill Wills was from an episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery. He murdered Burgess Meredith.
	10:47am OTB: Yeah, the magic doctor bag!
	10:47am Ralphine: Yep.
	10:47am Greg from Bloomfield: @Ralphine WHAT?! That sentence contained MOST of my favorite words. I'm looking that up right now.
	10:47am Cecile: worst Verizon commercial ever
	10:48am common: i recall that one, ralphine. man, going back to my childhood today!
	10:48am Ralphine: I think the episode is called The Little Black Bag.
	10:50am frenchee: Single File is excellent this week, Joe.
	10:50am Joe McG: @frenchee: Thanks, frenchee!
	10:51am frenchee: loving that snap crackle pop as well.
	10:52am Rick from SC: Love this song!
	10:52am Brendan: Feelin like a nono
	10:53am Cecile: this is cool
	10:53am common: weird and cool
	10:54am V Priceless: like this Flash and the Pan tune!
	10:55am Brendan: This song was in my head for a decade .i just fell off the wagon again.
	10:55am Joe McG: @Brendan: Oh, no, I'm sorry! ha ha
	10:56am Cecile: oh! this is a great song. I'll have to play it for Mr. C.
	10:56am rob t: The Presidents are way smooth.
	10:56am Jeff: Thanks, Joe - I only knew Grace Jones's rendition of "Walking in the Rain". This one rings truer - and I guess it's actually their song.
	10:57am Rob from Maryland: Wow, how many decades since I last heard this song by The Presidents??
	10:57am Brendan: No its a good thing. Now im playing hide and seek and kick the cans with this song 5 -10-15.
	10:58am Cecile: but I'd love to hear Grace do it.
	10:58am bobdoesthings: niceee
	10:58am Brendan: Reminds that summer is slipping away
	10:58am Rob from Maryland: Loved the scratch locked groove at the end of the song too.
	10:59am Rob from Maryland: er, *scratchy locked groove
	11:00am Cecile: AC/DC were their little brothers
	11:01am Cecile: for all we know it could be "Night of the Harvest" in French.
	11:01am ?: "The Little Black Bag' --adapted for "Night Gallery" by Rod Serling himself (I think) from the short story by famous science fiction author Cyril Kornbluth. Funny it comes up here and now because I just watched it last week, for the first time in decades...
	11:01am OTB: "Pawn shop, Doc!"
	11:04am Jack: Crril Kornbluth was reputed to have never brushed his teeth; they were a greenish color. Needless to say, he never smiled.
	11:06am Cecile: he wrote some great works with Fred Pohl
	11:07am scooter: sounds like someone's opening a restaurant
	11:07am ? = P-90: Even more of a synchronicity that it was was about Chill Wills, one of the reasons I revisited it was that I wasn't sure who had played that part. I thought it might have been Phil Harris. Chill Wills was appropriately "chilling", an eerily believable homicidal psychopath. And Burgess Meredith was never less than excellent in anything he did, never saw him on stage but they say he was even better there than on film.
	11:07am bobdoesthings: I've always hated the word "ramekins" ... just call it a bowl or a cup... jerks
	11:07am Greg from Bloomfield: Is FMU having a picnic?!
	11:09am frenchee: ramekins! I love that word. They're smaller than what we called "monkey dishes" in restaurantese.
	11:10am Kurt Gottschalk: way late but i wasn't at a computer and can't let it go. too cool that you have a flash & the pan 7", joe.
	11:11am bobdoesthings: @frenchee - I think it's because I read the word before I heard it pronounced and asked for "rame - kins" for my mother when I was younger..
	11:11am frenchee: late-breaking KG is better than no KG.
	11:11am Joe McG: @frenchee: I think I love the term "monkey dishes." Does Dave the Spazz know about this? @Kurt: Hi, Kurt!
	11:11am fredr: "Judy Get Down"...a Frank O'Toole staple from the early 80's from what I remember.
	11:12am Kurt Gottschalk: hi joe! hi frenchee! hi everyone else too!
	11:12am P-90: Jeez, this is a well-informed mob... all about Kornbluth's teeth, Fred Pohl, NOLA bands, the origins of "Bat out of hell" and "Rocky Horror"...
	11:12am Kurt Gottschalk: "judy get down" was an undertones cover even tho they didn't write it.
	11:13am Rectitude: what p90 said
	11:14am V Priceless: band name alert: Kornbluth's Teeth!
	11:14am Joe McG: @fredr: I steal from FXO regularly. @Kurt: I tried out the new turntable and it skipped twice on me! I hope it's the record. It's pretty dirty, I must admit. Maybe Frank's fingerprints are all over it, ha ha.
	11:16am Sem Chumbo: A belated "Hiya" from earlier this am, @P-90. Events intervened:-0
	11:16am V Priceless: @ Kurt - yeah, I was wondering where I heard that track before! @ Joe - new-found solution for fixing scratchy vinyl: wood glue!
	11:18am Joe McG: @VP: I should've cleaned it, really. WFMU does have cleaning equipment. But I'm lazy at 6:30 in the morning!
	11:22am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Receiving transmission. Over. Thank you Joe. -BEEEP-
	11:22am V Priceless: @ Joe - the wood glue thing works really well - but you have to let it cure 24-32 hours before peeling it off!
	11:22am P-90: New "Eno/Hyde" in heavy rotation last few weeks. And why not, it deserves to be in rotation somewhere, and where else would that happen I ask you?
	11:23am Joe McG: @Jennique: ha! beep!
	👻 11:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Exit lurk mode. Enter like Soft Walls mode.
	11:25am Ralphine: Pitchfork rates Eno/Hyde an 8.5, so I have to like it.
	11:26am Cecile: Some of my favorite records have superlow marks for the PFork guys.
	11:27am Ralphine: Well, I don't have a mind of my own.
	11:27am bobdoesthings: I rate PF at a 3.3 and not worth checking out..
	11:27am Joe McG: @Ralphine: Wow, 8.5 seems pushing it, but everybody has an opinion.
	11:28am bobdoesthings: and trust me.. I'm a self proclaimed authority on these things.
	11:28am Greg from Bloomfield: FEELIN THIS
	11:29am Cecile: YAS
	11:29am Cecile: 13th Floor Elevators are 200.00
	11:29am Marcel M: Pitchfork goes back and changes things they gave poor reviews once they have become critically acclaimed...
	11:30am V Priceless: IMO Eno hasn't topped his first four albums in terms of revisiting his great vocals, among other things.
	11:30am P-90: I think someone like Eno inevitably gets a bit of a bump in his score in such venues, some extra pointage for his long and respected career. The "lifetime achievement" effect.
	11:30am bobdoesthings: @marcel - oh really?!? that's hysterical. (guys guys!! we look wrong.. quick change it change it!!)
	11:31am Kurt Gottschalk: marcel, srsly?
	11:31am Cecile: Is New York Ghosts and Flowers still 0.0? That was idiotic
	11:31am Marcel M: @Bob: I know hehe, pretty wack. Thats what I've heard Kurt! I don't doubt it.
	11:31am V Priceless: @ marcel - nothing like "owning it", huh?
	11:31am holland oats: bullcrap
	11:32am Marcel M: Indeed Priceless
	11:32am P-90: @ Marcel: not surprised at all if that's true, some movie critics and music writers have been known to do the same thing
	11:33am Marcel M: And they give 10s to every OBVIOUS album that has great reviews already.... its dumb. Okay work time bye all
	11:33am DCE: don't want to be on the wrong side of music history!
	11:33am bobdoesthings: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:35am Kurt Gottschalk: lester bangs used to do it but he was honest about it. he wrote follow-up reviews where he took back his first review.
	11:36am holland oats: if that is true - and just because it's in wikipedia doesn't make it true - that is completely unethical and shitty and they should die
	11:36am Marcel M: Its understandable to change ones mind of course. Happens to me all the time. But they should show the edits.
	11:36am Cecile: Oh, you can see a lot of backtracking in the "500 Worst Rolling Stone Reviews" article.
	11:37am Kurt Gottschalk: and i haven't read idolator in a long time but i know they used to chart rolling stone's reviews, stars and ads. over and over an album could get a lukewarm review but get four or five stars if it was advertised in the same issue.
	11:37am P-90: Totally cool for a journalist to do that, if he cops to what he's doing like Bangs did and doesn't try to blow one by with a "stealth reversal".
	11:37am adrian in mpls: revision, in and of itself isn't the worst thing -- but i agree, the original should be preserved. and admitting "mistakes were made".....i think of all the bad first judgments i've made about certain records, etc.....
	11:38am Cecile: my favorite was when Jann Wenner wrote this long article where he said his own critics were wrong about the recent Stones and Dylan albums.
	11:39am Chop Scott: Howdy Joe!
	11:39am Joe McG: Chop Scott! How are you, sir?
	11:39am Dean: Don't know who's backing Montgomery here, but for the first couple of measures I thought WFMU was spinning Trio Sonata, whose reissued records are well worth acquiring: http://www.discogs.com/Trio-Sonata-Clear-Out-Of-Touch-With-Time/release/3177469
	👻 11:40am 12539: I only listen to music rated 91.1.
	11:40am Chop Scott: Always fine when I can tune it live--Cheers!
	11:40am Joe McG: Thanks for the tip, Dean, I'll investigate.
	11:41am Cecile: yes, 12539!
	11:43am DCE: nice raga
	11:44am Joe McG: @DCE: I just read that Fahey biography and Fahey couldn't stand Basho. Thought he was a complete idiot.
	11:45am P-90: @12539: agreed! I'm usually a McGasko-on-Archive guy too...
	11:45am Joe McG: @P-90: Glad you could be with us live today, P-90!
	11:47am adrian in mpls: it seems like Fahey had issues with quite a few of his contemporaries
	11:47am bobdoesthings: great show this morning joe, many thanks
	11:47am KP: I am liking this right here
	11:47am P-90: Thanks, a rare treat! Primo playlist today as always.
	11:47am DCE: ah, they're all completely nuts, aren't they?
	11:48am Joe McG: @adrian: I think saying he had issues, full stop, is probably close to the truth!
	11:49am P-90: And I can totally believe somehow that Fahey had no patience for Basho. Gotta read that bio...
	11:50am adrian in mpls: @Joe - ha! i think yr right!
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! I hope you all have a great weekend and week ahead!
	11:55am Cecile: Fahey had issues withe everyone, even his friends.
	11:55am P-90: Did I hear that Fahey and Kottke were very friendly when he "discovered" Leo, then there was some resentment and feeling ripped-off, and then they got close again?
	11:55am V Priceless: thanks, Joe!
	11:57am Sem Chumbo: Much enjoyed and appreciated by this McGasket today. See you again!
	👻 11:57am 12539: Another fine program, Joe. Thanks.
	11:58am Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks, Joe!
	11:59am Brendan: Ty J
	11:59am adrian in mpls: thanks Joe!
	11:59am P-90: Thanks DJ Joe McG!

	9:03am SSS: Your the best, great for a rainy day. Welcome
	9:03am Cheri Pi: Signed in and ready for blast-off
	9:03am adrian in mpls: there's magic, and then there's sitar magic
	9:03am DCE: Hi guys. I can't listen right now. I have to sit through a mandatory video first. Suckage!
	9:05am Cheri Pi: Hugs DCE, I've been there...
	9:06am Cheri Pi: We've been playing around with the Ravish Sitar pedal at home, so much fun.
	9:06am Joe McG: Hi, y'all! yip yip and away...
	9:06am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Joe. Just the morning magic I craved...
	9:07am Dr. Goot: Morning!
	9:07am Brendan: Hi Joe , sitar heroes
	9:08am common: i've just decided that i want to teach meditation...even though i know nothing about it. there would be beer involved. maybe i'll just get a sitar instead.
	9:09am Sem Chumbo: Meditation and beer: focus on the head in both cases. Sweet.
	9:09am mauri: I feel the scorching one star, good day joe and everyone.
	9:10am adrian in mpls: @common - just have everyone sit on the floor (maybe on a nice carpet) with the beerz, put on some eliane radigue and--presto!--yr a meditation guru
	9:11am Cheri Pi: Sign me up common sensei.
	9:11am V Priceless: mornin' Joe and McGaskites
	9:12am common: hee hee! i'll let you know if i get it going.
	9:13am common: beery meditation with common sensei. i like it!
	9:14am northguineahills: I shouldn't like Pizzicato Five, but I always have for some reason. Katamari Damacy just cemented my love for them.
	9:14am OTB: Pizzicato Five really managed to re-work this Steppenwolf tune. I hardly recognized it!
	9:17am Joe McG: @OTB: Ha ha ha! You should hear what they do with "Born to Be Wild."
	9:18am Cecile: hola, all!
	9:18am micah: ah Pizzicato 5 brings me back to the heyday of the mid 90s...that bright sound of internet bubble optimism
	9:19am rob t: hey
	9:20am Ralphine: Ah. Good ol' Rachid & Fethi!
	9:20am Marcel M: Has anyone here BY ANY CHANCE IN HELL, ever done a walk in passport renewal at Cadman Plaza (downtown) post office in Brooklyn?
	9:22am northguineahills: @Marcel, I've been in building, but not for passport renewal. I've always just did everything online and then via mail for my passport renewal.
	9:23am Snowball: Nope.
	9:23am OTB: Marcel: I went to the Gramercy Post Office on 23rd in Manhattan. Not terribly painful.Might be worth a schlep.
	9:24am Marcel M: @OTB: Thanks, did you have to wait very long? I just have to go before work and want to avoid going RIGHT when they open if possible.
	9:24am Cecile: www.youtube.com...
	9:25am Marcel M: @North: Thanks, time is an issue here of course because I waited a bit too long...
	9:26am SeanG: Get it!
	9:27am rob t: nice dub!
	9:28am northguineahills: I've noticed most Manhattan post offices aren't too bad outside of lunch hours. I've never had a good experience in Brooklyn.
	9:30am Marcel M: Yeah and Cadman Plaza is kind of insane... I do work right there though. Hmmm. I shall pontificate and decide.
	9:31am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	9:32am OTB: Marcel - 'twas a few years back, but I don't remember more than one person being in front of me or having the process take long. I had all my shit together and was as pleasant as possible to the lady behind the counter which seemed to help.
	9:33am OTB: Turnaround time was fairly quick, too.
	9:34am Marcel M: @OTB: Thanks! Helps a lot. I fear it less now.
	9:34am Marcel M: Morning Bob!
	9:36am OTB: My pleasure
	9:37am Marcel M: Digging this Half Church!
	9:41am Marcel M: That makes quite a few LPs I've ordered because of this show, thanks Joe!
	9:43am Joe McG: @Marcel: It's a good 'ne!
	9:44am common: i'm still laughing at the beefaroni line i heard from morrissey yesterday!
	9:46am Joe McG: @common: This is his anti-marriage tract where he rhymes "laze" and "graze."
	9:46am scooter: morrissey is coming apart at the seams
	9:47am adrian in mpls: me too - although the "cancer of the prostate" rhyme was, uhm, pretty special too
	9:49am V Priceless: wow - I didn't know the Harvest label was still around
	9:51am common: hee, heard that 'un joe. and adrian - same here! Ha!
	9:51am Cecile: wonder if they started it up again.
	9:53am Cecile: WHY'S IT GOTTA BE A BRIDE?
	9:54am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe + everybody!
	9:55am Brendan: Was that by Sharknado?
	9:56am bobdoesthings: @brendan -- They're making a sharknado 2!!! or made it already..
	9:57am Cecile: It's made. It just debuted. I did not watch it.
	9:57am Joe McG: Bobby does like married ladies, unlike Morrissey.
	9:58am Cecile: this is a nicer version of "Breaking Up Somebody's Home"
	9:58am OTB: Joe - Ha ha ha!
	9:59am bobdoesthings: @Joe - that was a confusing line to read for me.. I was like" .. wait .. me?! well .. yeah sure.. "
	10:00am Cecile: For a "sensitive" (cough) guy, he can be kind of a dolt.
	10:00am Rectitude: Hi Cici and all
	10:01am Cecile: siggi! Willy!
	10:01am DCE: phew, mandatory video is complete, and I'm all ears
	10:04am rob t: begging a married woman to "give up your foolish pride" is, um, kinda weird.
	10:05am paula pc: oh, here we go
	10:05am common: oh man! haven't heard this meatloaf since i was a kid!
	10:06am Marcel M: Me too Common hahahah. I remember looking at the Bat Outta Hell album cover like whaaaat?!
	10:06am Cecile: argggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh
	10:06am paula pc: but you know what, there would be no Hedwig without Meat Loaf/J Steinman, is my guess
	10:06am Ralphine: Sharknado 2 was on TV last night, and it was excellent.
	10:07am Joe McG: Todd Rundgren said he produced the album because he liked the jokes.
	10:07am V Priceless: what Cecile said : )
	10:08am KP: I think my radio is broken
	10:10am Cecile: back
	👻 10:10am 12539: I step out for few minutes and come back to find someone's changed the station on me!
	10:11am DCE: whoa, you think this band was influenced by Uriah Heep a bit?
	10:12am glenn: welp, the bosox traded jon lester to the a's.
	10:13am common: me too, marcel. saw the album before i heard the tunes. wanted metal...got meatloaf.
	10:14am Marcel M: @Common: Same for me! I was getting into Black Sabbath at the time and was like, Woah check this out! And then I was like... What? hah.
	10:17am common: @marcel: exactly! but it has it's own strange place in my heart.
	10:17am Greg from Bloomfield: That's good– the A's are having a rough go of it this season...
	10:17am common: its
	10:17am paula pc: this is exactly what I wanted to hear this morning, and I didn't even know it
	10:18am Joe McG: @paula pc: :)
	10:19am tikk: Great set of bands I almost paid attention to but not really, all having a common thread I didn't quite realize until now.
	10:19am scooter: ahh, seventies, when we still sang about the American Dream
	10:20am glenn: yeah, and they're pretty easy to like, unlike the canseco, henderson, mcgwire teams. i hated those guys.
	10:23am Joe McG: Fake endings are also very 1970s.
	10:24am paula pc: that was one of the best, really!
	10:27am scooter: if he's a biker it's mudflap
	10:29am beavoux: Duke and the Drivers have an official website
	10:29am tikk: Sniper turned into Kid Blast, that may be what you're thinking of Joe.
	10:29am duke: Finally out of a meeting. Now I can concentrate on important stuff like Joe's show
	10:30am Cecile: Australians went for it probably because it was the only country in the world where the Rocky Horror Picture Show was an overground hit. Richard O'Brien was an Aussie, as was Little nell.
	10:32am beavoux: Bat out of Hell was a Springsteen Parody according to Todd
	10:33am Joe McG: Hi duke! @beauvoux: Yes, Todd thought it was hysterical. He said he put up with the "drudgery" of recording it since he got a kick out of how over-the-top it was. Stienman knew it, too. He was aiming for ridiculous.
	10:34am Ralphine: Who remembers listening to the King Biscuit Flower Hour on the radio?
	10:35am scooter: i remember the Flower Hour
	10:35am Marcel M: If you need a girlfriend ask the Wizard of Love haha
	10:35am Cecile: me, too!
	10:36am Ralphine: I used to listen to the Flower Hour every Sunday night after Billy Graham.
	10:36am beavoux: I did, many have been released on CD Inuding Humble Pie
	10:37am beavoux: Including
	10:38am Sem Chumbo: Whew, back in time for most of Single File, sorry to have missed KBK, though.
	10:38am KP: In Montreal, I saw a show that featured Crowbar without King Biscuit Boy plus the Full-Tilt Boogie Band minus Janis Joplin. Also on the bill was the Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Paul Butterfield. And then there was the Wackers.
	10:38am common: i used to listen, ralphine
	10:39am Joe McG: @KP: What a bill!
	10:39am V Priceless: KBFH was great! Some shows made it to CD, like 10cc from '75
	10:40am Jack: @KP - I was just going to mention the Crowbar/King Biscuit album. It's good.
	10:42am Cecile: nice - great Betty Wright song by Selector lady!
	10:42am Marcel M: Would be pretty cool if he was backed by the NOLA band Crowbar...
	10:44am OTB: CHILL WILLS!!!!
	10:45am Cecile: this sounds like a musical version of Reno 911!
	10:45am Greg from Bloomfield: This one is a noodle-scratcher.
	10:45am DCE: good stuff, Chill!
	10:46am Ralphine: First time I ever heard of Chill Wills was from an episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery. He murdered Burgess Meredith.
	10:47am OTB: Yeah, the magic doctor bag!
	10:47am Ralphine: Yep.
	10:47am Greg from Bloomfield: @Ralphine WHAT?! That sentence contained MOST of my favorite words. I'm looking that up right now.
	10:47am Cecile: worst Verizon commercial ever
	10:48am common: i recall that one, ralphine. man, going back to my childhood today!
	10:48am Ralphine: I think the episode is called The Little Black Bag.
	10:50am frenchee: Single File is excellent this week, Joe.
	10:50am Joe McG: @frenchee: Thanks, frenchee!
	10:51am frenchee: loving that snap crackle pop as well.
	10:52am Rick from SC: Love this song!
	10:52am Brendan: Feelin like a nono
	10:53am Cecile: this is cool
	10:53am common: weird and cool
	10:54am V Priceless: like this Flash and the Pan tune!
	10:55am Brendan: This song was in my head for a decade .i just fell off the wagon again.
	10:55am Joe McG: @Brendan: Oh, no, I'm sorry! ha ha
	10:56am Cecile: oh! this is a great song. I'll have to play it for Mr. C.
	10:56am rob t: The Presidents are way smooth.
	10:56am Jeff: Thanks, Joe - I only knew Grace Jones's rendition of "Walking in the Rain". This one rings truer - and I guess it's actually their song.
	10:57am Rob from Maryland: Wow, how many decades since I last heard this song by The Presidents??
	10:57am Brendan: No its a good thing. Now im playing hide and seek and kick the cans with this song 5 -10-15.
	10:58am Cecile: but I'd love to hear Grace do it.
	10:58am bobdoesthings: niceee
	10:58am Brendan: Reminds that summer is slipping away
	10:58am Rob from Maryland: Loved the scratch locked groove at the end of the song too.
	10:59am Rob from Maryland: er, *scratchy locked groove
	11:00am Cecile: AC/DC were their little brothers
	11:01am Cecile: for all we know it could be "Night of the Harvest" in French.
	11:01am ?: "The Little Black Bag' --adapted for "Night Gallery" by Rod Serling himself (I think) from the short story by famous science fiction author Cyril Kornbluth. Funny it comes up here and now because I just watched it last week, for the first time in decades...
	11:01am OTB: "Pawn shop, Doc!"
	11:04am Jack: Crril Kornbluth was reputed to have never brushed his teeth; they were a greenish color. Needless to say, he never smiled.
	11:06am Cecile: he wrote some great works with Fred Pohl
	11:07am scooter: sounds like someone's opening a restaurant
	11:07am ? = P-90: Even more of a synchronicity that it was was about Chill Wills, one of the reasons I revisited it was that I wasn't sure who had played that part. I thought it might have been Phil Harris. Chill Wills was appropriately "chilling", an eerily believable homicidal psychopath. And Burgess Meredith was never less than excellent in anything he did, never saw him on stage but they say he was even better there than on film.
	11:07am bobdoesthings: I've always hated the word "ramekins" ... just call it a bowl or a cup... jerks
	11:07am Greg from Bloomfield: Is FMU having a picnic?!
	11:09am frenchee: ramekins! I love that word. They're smaller than what we called "monkey dishes" in restaurantese.
	11:10am Kurt Gottschalk: way late but i wasn't at a computer and can't let it go. too cool that you have a flash & the pan 7", joe.
	11:11am bobdoesthings: @frenchee - I think it's because I read the word before I heard it pronounced and asked for "rame - kins" for my mother when I was younger..
	11:11am frenchee: late-breaking KG is better than no KG.
	11:11am Joe McG: @frenchee: I think I love the term "monkey dishes." Does Dave the Spazz know about this? @Kurt: Hi, Kurt!
	11:11am fredr: "Judy Get Down"...a Frank O'Toole staple from the early 80's from what I remember.
	11:12am Kurt Gottschalk: hi joe! hi frenchee! hi everyone else too!
	11:12am P-90: Jeez, this is a well-informed mob... all about Kornbluth's teeth, Fred Pohl, NOLA bands, the origins of "Bat out of hell" and "Rocky Horror"...
	11:12am Kurt Gottschalk: "judy get down" was an undertones cover even tho they didn't write it.
	11:13am Rectitude: what p90 said
	11:14am V Priceless: band name alert: Kornbluth's Teeth!
	11:14am Joe McG: @fredr: I steal from FXO regularly. @Kurt: I tried out the new turntable and it skipped twice on me! I hope it's the record. It's pretty dirty, I must admit. Maybe Frank's fingerprints are all over it, ha ha.
	11:16am Sem Chumbo: A belated "Hiya" from earlier this am, @P-90. Events intervened:-0
	11:16am V Priceless: @ Kurt - yeah, I was wondering where I heard that track before! @ Joe - new-found solution for fixing scratchy vinyl: wood glue!
	11:18am Joe McG: @VP: I should've cleaned it, really. WFMU does have cleaning equipment. But I'm lazy at 6:30 in the morning!
	11:22am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Receiving transmission. Over. Thank you Joe. -BEEEP-
	11:22am V Priceless: @ Joe - the wood glue thing works really well - but you have to let it cure 24-32 hours before peeling it off!
	11:22am P-90: New "Eno/Hyde" in heavy rotation last few weeks. And why not, it deserves to be in rotation somewhere, and where else would that happen I ask you?
	11:23am Joe McG: @Jennique: ha! beep!
	👻 11:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Exit lurk mode. Enter like Soft Walls mode.
	11:25am Ralphine: Pitchfork rates Eno/Hyde an 8.5, so I have to like it.
	11:26am Cecile: Some of my favorite records have superlow marks for the PFork guys.
	11:27am Ralphine: Well, I don't have a mind of my own.
	11:27am bobdoesthings: I rate PF at a 3.3 and not worth checking out..
	11:27am Joe McG: @Ralphine: Wow, 8.5 seems pushing it, but everybody has an opinion.
	11:28am bobdoesthings: and trust me.. I'm a self proclaimed authority on these things.
	11:28am Greg from Bloomfield: FEELIN THIS
	11:29am Cecile: YAS
	11:29am Cecile: 13th Floor Elevators are 200.00
	11:29am Marcel M: Pitchfork goes back and changes things they gave poor reviews once they have become critically acclaimed...
	11:30am V Priceless: IMO Eno hasn't topped his first four albums in terms of revisiting his great vocals, among other things.
	11:30am P-90: I think someone like Eno inevitably gets a bit of a bump in his score in such venues, some extra pointage for his long and respected career. The "lifetime achievement" effect.
	11:30am bobdoesthings: @marcel - oh really?!? that's hysterical. (guys guys!! we look wrong.. quick change it change it!!)
	11:31am Kurt Gottschalk: marcel, srsly?
	11:31am Cecile: Is New York Ghosts and Flowers still 0.0? That was idiotic
	11:31am Marcel M: @Bob: I know hehe, pretty wack. Thats what I've heard Kurt! I don't doubt it.
	11:31am V Priceless: @ marcel - nothing like "owning it", huh?
	11:31am holland oats: bullcrap
	11:32am Marcel M: Indeed Priceless
	11:32am P-90: @ Marcel: not surprised at all if that's true, some movie critics and music writers have been known to do the same thing
	11:33am Marcel M: And they give 10s to every OBVIOUS album that has great reviews already.... its dumb. Okay work time bye all
	11:33am DCE: don't want to be on the wrong side of music history!
	11:33am bobdoesthings: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:35am Kurt Gottschalk: lester bangs used to do it but he was honest about it. he wrote follow-up reviews where he took back his first review.
	11:36am holland oats: if that is true - and just because it's in wikipedia doesn't make it true - that is completely unethical and shitty and they should die
	11:36am Marcel M: Its understandable to change ones mind of course. Happens to me all the time. But they should show the edits.
	11:36am Cecile: Oh, you can see a lot of backtracking in the "500 Worst Rolling Stone Reviews" article.
	11:37am Kurt Gottschalk: and i haven't read idolator in a long time but i know they used to chart rolling stone's reviews, stars and ads. over and over an album could get a lukewarm review but get four or five stars if it was advertised in the same issue.
	11:37am P-90: Totally cool for a journalist to do that, if he cops to what he's doing like Bangs did and doesn't try to blow one by with a "stealth reversal".
	11:37am adrian in mpls: revision, in and of itself isn't the worst thing -- but i agree, the original should be preserved. and admitting "mistakes were made".....i think of all the bad first judgments i've made about certain records, etc.....
	11:38am Cecile: my favorite was when Jann Wenner wrote this long article where he said his own critics were wrong about the recent Stones and Dylan albums.
	11:39am Chop Scott: Howdy Joe!
	11:39am Joe McG: Chop Scott! How are you, sir?
	11:39am Dean: Don't know who's backing Montgomery here, but for the first couple of measures I thought WFMU was spinning Trio Sonata, whose reissued records are well worth acquiring: http://www.discogs.com/Trio-Sonata-Clear-Out-Of-Touch-With-Time/release/3177469
	👻 11:40am 12539: I only listen to music rated 91.1.
	11:40am Chop Scott: Always fine when I can tune it live--Cheers!
	11:40am Joe McG: Thanks for the tip, Dean, I'll investigate.
	11:41am Cecile: yes, 12539!
	11:43am DCE: nice raga
	11:44am Joe McG: @DCE: I just read that Fahey biography and Fahey couldn't stand Basho. Thought he was a complete idiot.
	11:45am P-90: @12539: agreed! I'm usually a McGasko-on-Archive guy too...
	11:45am Joe McG: @P-90: Glad you could be with us live today, P-90!
	11:47am adrian in mpls: it seems like Fahey had issues with quite a few of his contemporaries
	11:47am bobdoesthings: great show this morning joe, many thanks
	11:47am KP: I am liking this right here
	11:47am P-90: Thanks, a rare treat! Primo playlist today as always.
	11:47am DCE: ah, they're all completely nuts, aren't they?
	11:48am Joe McG: @adrian: I think saying he had issues, full stop, is probably close to the truth!
	11:49am P-90: And I can totally believe somehow that Fahey had no patience for Basho. Gotta read that bio...
	11:50am adrian in mpls: @Joe - ha! i think yr right!
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! I hope you all have a great weekend and week ahead!
	11:55am Cecile: Fahey had issues withe everyone, even his friends.
	11:55am P-90: Did I hear that Fahey and Kottke were very friendly when he "discovered" Leo, then there was some resentment and feeling ripped-off, and then they got close again?
	11:55am V Priceless: thanks, Joe!
	11:57am Sem Chumbo: Much enjoyed and appreciated by this McGasket today. See you again!
	👻 11:57am 12539: Another fine program, Joe. Thanks.
	11:58am Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks, Joe!
	11:59am Brendan: Ty J
	11:59am adrian in mpls: thanks Joe!
	11:59am P-90: Thanks DJ Joe McG!
