	9:19am Brendan: Hi kids
	9:20am bobdoesthings: That Budos Band is on Daptone? I thought they only did soul revivalist stuff..

	9:23am bibi: le pastiche c'est fantastique. hi.

	9:40am d¢ pät: = the green travels
	9:40am V Priceless: Bubble Gummy-Power Poppy!!
	9:41am Robert: But the way you pronounced it, until I looked here I thought you'd said, "Aveugle...", which would've meant "Blind...."
	9:41am HEAT: I like the new vaselines album!!
	♥ 9:42am SeanG: woo hoooo!
	9:46am d¢ pät: I think you should follow this up with Happy Flowers.
	9:47am Cecile: bob, the Budos Band are some of the hottest nu-Afro-funk out there. great stuff.
	9:47am Cecile: ITA with dcp And good morning all!
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: @dc pat: And then the Flowerpot Men.

	9:55am Cecile: Or Crawlspace with Eddie Flowers.
	♥ 9:58am ChrisB.: Love that Game Theory, Joe. Can't wait for Omnivore to reissue the rest of the canon.
	9:59am Holly in NC: Good morning Joe & all! Sorry for being tardy (slinks to back of room, finds last chair). 3 cheers to Omnivore for al their Game Theory reissues!
	10:00am d¢ pät: SO...why the pledging? Are we running out of dough?
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: Holly! I don't have any Millie J. with me today, but next week, definitely!
	10:03am V Priceless: "Death Played The Flute" - somebody get that to Fabio ASAP!
	♥ 10:04am joe: 'ello folks
	♥ 10:04am Michele: HI Joe. Play me something really really really sad.
	♥ 10:04am dale: postmarks song reminded me of strawbs 'shepards song' - the synthy part rick wakeman made happen at the 4 minute mark. www.youtube.com...
	10:05am HEAT: purling hiss!!!! yeah!!!
	10:05am Cecile: Ah, Lil Abner. More of an influence on me than I care to admit.
	♥ 10:05am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Stubby Kaye?
	10:05am HEAT: LOL!!!! sorry everybody. the purling hiss CD started playing on my computer unexpectedly
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: @HEAT: Ha ha ha! At least you know you like it! :)
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @Michele: "Lonely" from earlier might be the saddest I get today, but I'll try. @dale: I can go with that! @Cecile: I don't have the "My Fair Lady" one, unfortunately.
	10:10am V Priceless: @ dale - great track & record!
	10:10am steve: hey Joe and friends. enjoying today's show. anyone know when or where to view entries to the mascot contest?
	10:11am adrian in mpls: I second the sad song request -- although "Lonely" definitely worked for me.
	♥ 10:13am Joe McG: OK, here's a sad one....
	10:13am Cecile: yay! good Was/Not Was
	10:14am V Priceless: velvet fog!
	♥ 10:15am common: can't believe this is was/not was
	10:15am adrian in mpls: Thanks Joe! In the mood to wallow in miseryguts today.
	10:15am Cecile: those first two albums are great. Very twisted.
	10:15am bobdoesthings: OHHH he actually turned blue..
	♥ 10:15am BarbR: Wow! Was (Not Was) - love this album!
	♥ 10:15am Michele: Yes, this will do it. Thanks Joe.
	10:15am Cecile: common, the first two albums are worth checking out.
	10:16am Brendan: It sounds like zaz might have an obstructed airway . I would try the hiemlich maneuver.
	♥ 10:16am dale: wow - never heard this torme. great!
	10:17am Holly in NC: Creepy, sad, and amazing!
	♥ 10:17am dale: now i wanna hear sinatra and company's it's not easy being green
	10:17am Rev. Turnip Druid: what is is!
	10:17am Cecile: Early Was/Not Was is ripe for rediscovery.
	♥ 10:18am Stevel: Always loved this song. Yes Holly, creepy.
	10:18am V Priceless: Dangerfield: I asked my dentist "what can I do about my yellow teeth?" He said "Buy a brown tie". Just a little levity to break-up the blueness : )
	♥ 10:18am doctorjazz: Jonathan Schwartz got me to appreciate Mel Torme (I don't know who will get me to be able to stand listening to Jonathan Schwartz for more than a few minutes at a time, though)
	10:19am Cecile: George Michael once covered Was/Not Was's Where Did Our Love Go?, and it was weird. He even sang the "rusty can of corn" line straight.
	10:19am Holly in NC: Apparently PJ Harvey covers 'Zaz Turned Blue' - who knew? Not me, obviously.
	10:21am Travis: Strange song. Trying to figure out what "Zaz Turned Blue" is all about. Did Zaz start voting Democrat or sumpin'?
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @Holly: Sure would be interesting to hear THAT!
	10:21am adrian in mpls: @Holly - really? wow, i need to check that out!
	10:22am Cecile: Travis, thanks to horseplay, Zaz got strangled for a little bit.
	10:22am Brendan: The old butter knife to the head
	10:23am Cecile: and now he's a little tetched.
	10:23am Rev. Turnip Druid: any relation to Zaz Zu Zaz? [apologies to cab calloway]
	10:23am Claw!: Don't tell Johnny to be gay. It's not a choice.
	10:25am Brendan: @Travis - this offers some explanation of why zaz turned blue : http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5062814
	10:25am d¢ pät: oh no....
	10:26am listener gary: Just washing up after breakfast and couldn't believe I was hearing Mel Torme. Thought it might have something to do with the dish soap. Damn that was good!
	10:26am Dr. Goot: Anyone know why Glen stiffed Michael on Saturday?
	10:26am Cecile: I kind of have a hard time with guys singing about how hard and meaningless women's lives are. I can't explain it.
	10:27am Cheri Pi: LOL, DCP
	10:27am Cecile: PI
	♥ 10:27am dale: such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
	10:27am Cheri Pi: CECILE!
	10:27am Holly in NC: Just downloaed PJ's version from soulseek - it's pretty faithful to original, arrangement near end of song gets a little more bombastic. Original is better. But if anyone wants an mp3 shoot me a line & I'll send it to you later today.
	10:27am Cecile: dale EXACTLY
	10:29am Cecile: YOU NEED TO DO THAT JOE
	10:30am steve: freaks of Was Not Was... please
	10:30am Cecile: It doesn't hold up amazingly well these days. And Al Capp was a total asshole. But I still have a soft spot for Abner.
	10:31am steve: i could hear Hello Dad I'm in Jail on loop for 3 hours and not complain
	10:31am V Priceless: @ Cecile - indeed he was!
	10:31am bobdoesthings: I have one of those volumes of spaghetti westerns tracks.. I just need the other four volumes!
	10:34am βrian: It makes me want a cocktail, this music. But it's way too early, and I really don't care for cocktails.
	10:34am still b/p: I read Li'l Abner when I was a kid but didn't get much of the satire it was supposed to carry. I would like to go back and revisit things like Joe Btfsplk and the shmoos just for the hell of it.
	10:35am Cecile: Was/Not Was were a real point of pride in Lower Michigan. Their fusion of pop and avant really spoke to a lot of us.
	10:35am adrian in mpls: i fully support a flute special. it opens up the possibility of more tull discussion on the wfmu board :)
	10:37am Brendan: Do the Charleston kids
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: @adrian: But, adrian, I'm not going to play any Tull! ;)
	10:38am dave from toronto: trooper??? wow! you blew my mind with that one! nice!
	10:38am Travis: Thanks for the hedzup on Zaz, Brendan. I wonder if this is the origin of the old adage, "If they can't take a choke..."
	10:39am βrian: So is it flutist or flautist?
	♥ 10:39am DCE: hey, wanna get low?
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: @Brian: Hmm...I'll need to find out for sure before I do a flaute special.
	♥ 10:42am Andrew Waterloo: @Cecile, the thing about Was (not was) was that I could never fit Dad, I'm in Jail, with Walk the Dinosaur.
	♥ 10:42am Brian in UK: FLAUTIST
	♥ 10:42am 12539: Fluter, of course.
	10:43am βrian: Well, you an always flout the norm. At the least, use an umlaut: flaütist.
	♥ 10:43am Andrew Waterloo: Isn't Fluter the German kid in The Simpsons?
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Flutinist.
	♥ 10:43am Brian in UK: A flutist is a chimney sweep.
	10:44am Parq: Done with my commute. Wow, "Zaz Turned" really touched a nerve. And rightly so -- it's a favorite of mine too, and my playlist now has a little yellow star that says so. 'Cile, sorry to blaspheme, but I really like W(nW)'s third album, especially the expanded version released on CD. That has another crooner, Frank Sinatra Jr., ruminating on "Wedding Vows in Vegas".
	10:44am Kurt Gottschalk: gayle!
	10:44am βrian: @BrianUK: That looks suspiciously like Le Pétomane's line of work.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Kurt: You should recognize this one!
	10:46am Brendan: This is an intriguing and enlightening setlist/show. Thanks for sharing your record collection Joe.
	♥ 10:46am Brian in UK: One of my heroes, βrian. Imagine blowing out your birthday candles in that unique way.
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @Brendan: My pleasure, Brendan. Thanks for dropping by every week!
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @Parq: I love "What Up, Dog?" too!
	10:48am βrian: "Oh, and here's my Krakatoa impersonation."
	♥ 10:48am Mike East: morning y'all
	10:48am Kurt Gottschalk: i should? i wasn't watching the playlist. i didn't know electric guitars made more than one single!
	10:48am Cecile: Andrew, we never could either. We just sat there and went "WHUH?"
	10:49am Cecile: Oh, the third one is OK, too Parq. But the first two, wow.
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Kurt: Yeah, it was yours! I think you either gave it to me or I stole it.
	♥ 10:50am Brian in UK: Is this for Michael?
	♥ 10:51am Andrew Waterloo: @Cecile, when I think of Papa Was A Rolling Stone I think of their version.
	10:51am will: I have a version of that Electric Guitars song on a comp called THE BRISTOL RECORDER where they speeded it up and sung in tune!
	10:52am Kurt Gottschalk: joe, ha! guess i didn't want it too bad. i want that electric guitars single, tho. trade you for the buchanan bros?
	10:53am Kurt Gottschalk: oooooooooh, wait, you were talking about gayle. that makes more sense. ok, trade you the gayle adams 45 you already have for your electric guitars 7"? done deal.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @Kurt: Ha ha ha! @will: Cool info, I have to find that.
	10:54am Parq: 'Cile I dig "Tornadoes" the most, but I'm afraid the other one, the one with Mitch Ryder, just doesn't do it for me. "Dog" is way better, IMO. I cheerfully acknowledge your prerogative to disagree. Peace on ya.
	10:55am βrian: Joe, are you playing these from a stack? I can almost hear the sweet "plop."
	10:55am listener mark: Hallelaujeh! I have seen the light! I am saved!
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Brian: No, but if we had a turntable that did that, I would totally do it!
	10:57am V Priceless: new band name alert = sweet plop
	10:57am βrian: Well, there's your fundraising hook!
	10:57am Brendan: @Brian t- that plop may have been me, was it preceded by a grunt?
	10:58am bobdoesthings: The Sweet Plop could be a great album title..
	11:04am d¢ pät: oh, the ol' silent marathon...
	11:04am dave from toronto: joe - TROOPER was a canadian band - hence my blown mind that you played them. xo
	♥ 11:07am Andrew Waterloo: I was thinking... there's another Trooper and Joe didn't add ( this is not the Canadian one )
	11:10am conkrete_dawg: Thank you, Joe, for this guitar-based rock-and-roll.
	♥ 11:10am Mike East: When I heard Mark Stewart was gonna be on the fun machine, I was thinking of the guy from Bang on a Can...which seemed a bit incongruous for that particular show...though this is wfmu, home of the incongruous. The other Mark Stewart makes more sense, though.
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: You bet, dawg! @Andrew and Dave: Yes, actually I think I might've played the UK Trooper after all....
	11:19am βrian: Twooper: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian! Was indeed some Canadians. At least I got my Can-Con in for today!
	♥ 11:21am Mike East: aw, stuffin' envelopes! Thanks Pink Tiles!
	11:23am duke: Just got here. Pink Tiles = great
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @Mike: They were so nice they stayed after their session and helped us get the mailing out!
	♥ 11:25am Mike East: mad respect for that. The tunes rock, too!
	♥ 11:25am Mike East: may have to purchase that sweet looking LP
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @MIke: It's on lovely pink vinyl! Find out more at: www.thepinktiles.com
	♥ 11:29am Mike East: yeah, I just read that...sold out til early October...hey that's now! I'm gonna have to wait until after silent marathon anyway...my rock n roll dollars are committed to wfmu.
	11:30am Parq: Aw, they look like nice kids! Enjoying the set.
	11:32am Carmichael: Hi Joe und Dienstag Leuten.
	♥ 11:32am 12539: This is delightful.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Oh, and since yours truly fooked up the interview section, which I can't air, I recommend you watch their bio video on the web site for all your band info needs. It's also fun to watch!
	♥ 11:33am Stevel: Great stuff.
	11:35am PJ: This is really good, Joe. Is the band playing somewhere in the area?
	11:35am Cecile: Parq, are you familiar with the Was/Not Was album before Born to Laugh at Tornadoes? It is my favorite one.
	11:35am adrian in mpls: really enjoying this - it's banishing my bad mood.
	11:36am Cecile: oh! Australians!
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @PJ: Unfortunately not, but they hope to return to the States soon for gigs! Hopefully they will also pick up a U.S. distributor for their wonderful LP!
	11:40am Dr. Goot: Great set, thanks Joe!
	11:40am Carmichael: Heh heh ... Game Theory. I used to jam and hang with those folks back in the day. Shelley the keyboard player and I also had a few college classes together. Oh, the stories I could tell ....
	11:42am Holly in NC: Really enjoyed the Pink Tiles - thank you, all!
	11:42am tikk: Registering my enjoyment of the Pink Tiles.
	11:44am βrian: Cats are the elemental meme to which all cultural communications resolve.
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: Glad you all enjoyed the session!
	11:49am bobdoesthings: thanks joe!! great show
	♥ 11:52am joe: All interviews with bands should be done over the process of stuffing envelopes. :0
	11:54am Yair yona: Good evening Joe, and everybody ;))
	11:54am Carmichael: I thoroughly enjoyed the few Pink Tiles songs I heard.
	♥ 11:54am dale: like this old folky psych.
	11:55am marmalade kitty: Where would we be without the 60's..?
	11:56am Sigurdur: I know.
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Hey, Yair! Thanks for listening today, everybody! Stay tuned for Mark Stewart of the Pop Group with Diane. See you next week!
	11:57am adrian in mpls: thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	♥ 11:58am dale: oh joe - if you do a halloween show play the 'ghost of bardley road' by dane sturgeon
	♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: Nice one, Joe Hello Yair, are you safe?
	11:58am Holly in NC: Superb show, Jow, thank you!

	9:07am Mark: Nice start, Joe! We need some groovy jams to get us through this bummer bob of a day outside. (Bummer Bob was a member of the Manson family who would occasionally refrain from the orgies Charlie would orchestrate--therefore, he was a bummer.)

	9:19am Brendan: Hi kids
	9:20am bobdoesthings: That Budos Band is on Daptone? I thought they only did soul revivalist stuff..

	9:41am Robert: But the way you pronounced it, until I looked here I thought you'd said, "Aveugle...", which would've meant "Blind...."
	9:41am HEAT: I like the new vaselines album!!
	♥ 9:42am SeanG: woo hoooo!
	9:46am d¢ pät: I think you should follow this up with Happy Flowers.
	9:47am Cecile: bob, the Budos Band are some of the hottest nu-Afro-funk out there. great stuff.

	9:55am Cecile: Or Crawlspace with Eddie Flowers.
	♥ 9:58am ChrisB.: Love that Game Theory, Joe. Can't wait for Omnivore to reissue the rest of the canon.
	9:59am Holly in NC: Good morning Joe & all! Sorry for being tardy (slinks to back of room, finds last chair). 3 cheers to Omnivore for al their Game Theory reissues!
	10:00am d¢ pät: SO...why the pledging? Are we running out of dough?
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: Holly! I don't have any Millie J. with me today, but next week, definitely!
	10:03am V Priceless: "Death Played The Flute" - somebody get that to Fabio ASAP!
	♥ 10:04am joe: 'ello folks
	♥ 10:04am Michele: HI Joe. Play me something really really really sad.
	♥ 10:04am dale: postmarks song reminded me of strawbs 'shepards song' - the synthy part rick wakeman made happen at the 4 minute mark. www.youtube.com...
	10:05am HEAT: purling hiss!!!! yeah!!!
	10:05am Cecile: Ah, Lil Abner. More of an influence on me than I care to admit.
	♥ 10:05am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Stubby Kaye?
	10:05am HEAT: LOL!!!! sorry everybody. the purling hiss CD started playing on my computer unexpectedly
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: @HEAT: Ha ha ha! At least you know you like it! :)
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @Michele: "Lonely" from earlier might be the saddest I get today, but I'll try. @dale: I can go with that! @Cecile: I don't have the "My Fair Lady" one, unfortunately.
	10:10am V Priceless: @ dale - great track & record!
	10:10am steve: hey Joe and friends. enjoying today's show. anyone know when or where to view entries to the mascot contest?
	10:11am adrian in mpls: I second the sad song request -- although "Lonely" definitely worked for me.
	♥ 10:13am Joe McG: OK, here's a sad one....
	10:13am Cecile: yay! good Was/Not Was
	10:14am V Priceless: velvet fog!
	♥ 10:15am common: can't believe this is was/not was
	10:15am adrian in mpls: Thanks Joe! In the mood to wallow in miseryguts today.
	10:15am Cecile: those first two albums are great. Very twisted.
	10:15am bobdoesthings: OHHH he actually turned blue..
	♥ 10:15am BarbR: Wow! Was (Not Was) - love this album!
	♥ 10:15am Michele: Yes, this will do it. Thanks Joe.
	10:15am Cecile: common, the first two albums are worth checking out.
	10:16am Brendan: It sounds like zaz might have an obstructed airway . I would try the hiemlich maneuver.
	♥ 10:16am dale: wow - never heard this torme. great!
	10:17am Holly in NC: Creepy, sad, and amazing!
	♥ 10:17am dale: now i wanna hear sinatra and company's it's not easy being green
	10:17am Rev. Turnip Druid: what is is!
	10:17am Cecile: Early Was/Not Was is ripe for rediscovery.
	♥ 10:18am Stevel: Always loved this song. Yes Holly, creepy.
	10:18am V Priceless: Dangerfield: I asked my dentist "what can I do about my yellow teeth?" He said "Buy a brown tie". Just a little levity to break-up the blueness : )
	♥ 10:18am doctorjazz: Jonathan Schwartz got me to appreciate Mel Torme (I don't know who will get me to be able to stand listening to Jonathan Schwartz for more than a few minutes at a time, though)
	10:19am Cecile: George Michael once covered Was/Not Was's Where Did Our Love Go?, and it was weird. He even sang the "rusty can of corn" line straight.
	10:19am Holly in NC: Apparently PJ Harvey covers 'Zaz Turned Blue' - who knew? Not me, obviously.
	10:21am Travis: Strange song. Trying to figure out what "Zaz Turned Blue" is all about. Did Zaz start voting Democrat or sumpin'?
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @Holly: Sure would be interesting to hear THAT!
	10:21am adrian in mpls: @Holly - really? wow, i need to check that out!
	10:22am Cecile: Travis, thanks to horseplay, Zaz got strangled for a little bit.
	10:22am Brendan: The old butter knife to the head
	10:23am Cecile: and now he's a little tetched.
	10:23am Rev. Turnip Druid: any relation to Zaz Zu Zaz? [apologies to cab calloway]
	10:23am Claw!: Don't tell Johnny to be gay. It's not a choice.
	10:25am Brendan: @Travis - this offers some explanation of why zaz turned blue : http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5062814
	10:25am d¢ pät: oh no....
	10:26am listener gary: Just washing up after breakfast and couldn't believe I was hearing Mel Torme. Thought it might have something to do with the dish soap. Damn that was good!
	10:26am Dr. Goot: Anyone know why Glen stiffed Michael on Saturday?
	10:26am Cecile: I kind of have a hard time with guys singing about how hard and meaningless women's lives are. I can't explain it.
	10:27am Cheri Pi: LOL, DCP
	10:27am Cecile: PI
	♥ 10:27am dale: such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
	10:27am Cheri Pi: CECILE!
	10:27am Holly in NC: Just downloaed PJ's version from soulseek - it's pretty faithful to original, arrangement near end of song gets a little more bombastic. Original is better. But if anyone wants an mp3 shoot me a line & I'll send it to you later today.
	10:27am Cecile: dale EXACTLY
	10:29am Cecile: YOU NEED TO DO THAT JOE
	10:30am steve: freaks of Was Not Was... please
	10:30am Cecile: It doesn't hold up amazingly well these days. And Al Capp was a total asshole. But I still have a soft spot for Abner.
	10:31am steve: i could hear Hello Dad I'm in Jail on loop for 3 hours and not complain
	10:31am V Priceless: @ Cecile - indeed he was!
	10:31am bobdoesthings: I have one of those volumes of spaghetti westerns tracks.. I just need the other four volumes!
	10:34am βrian: It makes me want a cocktail, this music. But it's way too early, and I really don't care for cocktails.
	10:34am still b/p: I read Li'l Abner when I was a kid but didn't get much of the satire it was supposed to carry. I would like to go back and revisit things like Joe Btfsplk and the shmoos just for the hell of it.
	10:35am Cecile: Was/Not Was were a real point of pride in Lower Michigan. Their fusion of pop and avant really spoke to a lot of us.
	10:35am adrian in mpls: i fully support a flute special. it opens up the possibility of more tull discussion on the wfmu board :)
	10:37am Brendan: Do the Charleston kids
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: @adrian: But, adrian, I'm not going to play any Tull! ;)
	10:38am dave from toronto: trooper??? wow! you blew my mind with that one! nice!
	10:38am Travis: Thanks for the hedzup on Zaz, Brendan. I wonder if this is the origin of the old adage, "If they can't take a choke..."
	10:39am βrian: So is it flutist or flautist?
	♥ 10:39am DCE: hey, wanna get low?
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: @Brian: Hmm...I'll need to find out for sure before I do a flaute special.
	♥ 10:42am Andrew Waterloo: @Cecile, the thing about Was (not was) was that I could never fit Dad, I'm in Jail, with Walk the Dinosaur.
	♥ 10:42am Brian in UK: FLAUTIST
	♥ 10:42am 12539: Fluter, of course.
	10:43am βrian: Well, you an always flout the norm. At the least, use an umlaut: flaütist.
	♥ 10:43am Andrew Waterloo: Isn't Fluter the German kid in The Simpsons?
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Flutinist.
	♥ 10:43am Brian in UK: A flutist is a chimney sweep.
	10:44am Parq: Done with my commute. Wow, "Zaz Turned" really touched a nerve. And rightly so -- it's a favorite of mine too, and my playlist now has a little yellow star that says so. 'Cile, sorry to blaspheme, but I really like W(nW)'s third album, especially the expanded version released on CD. That has another crooner, Frank Sinatra Jr., ruminating on "Wedding Vows in Vegas".
	10:44am Kurt Gottschalk: gayle!
	10:44am βrian: @BrianUK: That looks suspiciously like Le Pétomane's line of work.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Kurt: You should recognize this one!
	10:46am Brendan: This is an intriguing and enlightening setlist/show. Thanks for sharing your record collection Joe.
	♥ 10:46am Brian in UK: One of my heroes, βrian. Imagine blowing out your birthday candles in that unique way.
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @Brendan: My pleasure, Brendan. Thanks for dropping by every week!
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @Parq: I love "What Up, Dog?" too!
	10:48am βrian: "Oh, and here's my Krakatoa impersonation."
	♥ 10:48am Mike East: morning y'all
	10:48am Kurt Gottschalk: i should? i wasn't watching the playlist. i didn't know electric guitars made more than one single!
	10:48am Cecile: Andrew, we never could either. We just sat there and went "WHUH?"
	10:49am Cecile: Oh, the third one is OK, too Parq. But the first two, wow.
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Kurt: Yeah, it was yours! I think you either gave it to me or I stole it.
	♥ 10:50am Brian in UK: Is this for Michael?
	♥ 10:51am Andrew Waterloo: @Cecile, when I think of Papa Was A Rolling Stone I think of their version.
	10:51am will: I have a version of that Electric Guitars song on a comp called THE BRISTOL RECORDER where they speeded it up and sung in tune!
	10:52am Kurt Gottschalk: joe, ha! guess i didn't want it too bad. i want that electric guitars single, tho. trade you for the buchanan bros?
	10:53am Kurt Gottschalk: oooooooooh, wait, you were talking about gayle. that makes more sense. ok, trade you the gayle adams 45 you already have for your electric guitars 7"? done deal.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @Kurt: Ha ha ha! @will: Cool info, I have to find that.
	10:54am Parq: 'Cile I dig "Tornadoes" the most, but I'm afraid the other one, the one with Mitch Ryder, just doesn't do it for me. "Dog" is way better, IMO. I cheerfully acknowledge your prerogative to disagree. Peace on ya.
	10:55am βrian: Joe, are you playing these from a stack? I can almost hear the sweet "plop."
	10:55am listener mark: Hallelaujeh! I have seen the light! I am saved!
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Brian: No, but if we had a turntable that did that, I would totally do it!
	10:57am V Priceless: new band name alert = sweet plop
	10:57am βrian: Well, there's your fundraising hook!
	10:57am Brendan: @Brian t- that plop may have been me, was it preceded by a grunt?
	10:58am bobdoesthings: The Sweet Plop could be a great album title..
	11:04am d¢ pät: oh, the ol' silent marathon...
	11:04am dave from toronto: joe - TROOPER was a canadian band - hence my blown mind that you played them. xo
	♥ 11:07am Andrew Waterloo: I was thinking... there's another Trooper and Joe didn't add ( this is not the Canadian one )
	11:10am conkrete_dawg: Thank you, Joe, for this guitar-based rock-and-roll.
	♥ 11:10am Mike East: When I heard Mark Stewart was gonna be on the fun machine, I was thinking of the guy from Bang on a Can...which seemed a bit incongruous for that particular show...though this is wfmu, home of the incongruous. The other Mark Stewart makes more sense, though.
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: You bet, dawg! @Andrew and Dave: Yes, actually I think I might've played the UK Trooper after all....
	11:19am βrian: Twooper: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian! Was indeed some Canadians. At least I got my Can-Con in for today!
	♥ 11:21am Mike East: aw, stuffin' envelopes! Thanks Pink Tiles!
	11:23am duke: Just got here. Pink Tiles = great
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @Mike: They were so nice they stayed after their session and helped us get the mailing out!
	♥ 11:25am Mike East: mad respect for that. The tunes rock, too!
	♥ 11:25am Mike East: may have to purchase that sweet looking LP
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @MIke: It's on lovely pink vinyl! Find out more at: www.thepinktiles.com
	♥ 11:29am Mike East: yeah, I just read that...sold out til early October...hey that's now! I'm gonna have to wait until after silent marathon anyway...my rock n roll dollars are committed to wfmu.
	11:30am Parq: Aw, they look like nice kids! Enjoying the set.
	11:32am Carmichael: Hi Joe und Dienstag Leuten.
	♥ 11:32am 12539: This is delightful.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Oh, and since yours truly fooked up the interview section, which I can't air, I recommend you watch their bio video on the web site for all your band info needs. It's also fun to watch!
	♥ 11:33am Stevel: Great stuff.
	11:35am PJ: This is really good, Joe. Is the band playing somewhere in the area?
	11:35am Cecile: Parq, are you familiar with the Was/Not Was album before Born to Laugh at Tornadoes? It is my favorite one.
	11:35am adrian in mpls: really enjoying this - it's banishing my bad mood.
	11:36am Cecile: oh! Australians!
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @PJ: Unfortunately not, but they hope to return to the States soon for gigs! Hopefully they will also pick up a U.S. distributor for their wonderful LP!
	11:40am Dr. Goot: Great set, thanks Joe!
	11:40am Carmichael: Heh heh ... Game Theory. I used to jam and hang with those folks back in the day. Shelley the keyboard player and I also had a few college classes together. Oh, the stories I could tell ....
	11:42am Holly in NC: Really enjoyed the Pink Tiles - thank you, all!
	11:42am tikk: Registering my enjoyment of the Pink Tiles.
	11:44am βrian: Cats are the elemental meme to which all cultural communications resolve.
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: Glad you all enjoyed the session!
	11:49am bobdoesthings: thanks joe!! great show
	♥ 11:52am joe: All interviews with bands should be done over the process of stuffing envelopes. :0
	11:54am Yair yona: Good evening Joe, and everybody ;))
	11:54am Carmichael: I thoroughly enjoyed the few Pink Tiles songs I heard.
	♥ 11:54am dale: like this old folky psych.
	11:55am marmalade kitty: Where would we be without the 60's..?
	11:56am Sigurdur: I know.
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Hey, Yair! Thanks for listening today, everybody! Stay tuned for Mark Stewart of the Pop Group with Diane. See you next week!
	11:57am adrian in mpls: thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	♥ 11:58am dale: oh joe - if you do a halloween show play the 'ghost of bardley road' by dane sturgeon
	♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: Nice one, Joe Hello Yair, are you safe?
