	♥ 9:07am SeanG: Yo Joe!
	♥ 9:11am Joe McG: Good morning, everyone. Don't mind the rain. It's cleansing.
	♥ 9:12am dale: it could rain for days and i don't think we'd make up the deficit.
	♥ 9:14am dale: have to share this englebert humperdinck duet cover of cat stevens he sings with his son. the duet he does with gene simmons is god awful though. www.youtube.com...
	9:15am V Priceless: Mornin' Joe and gang! Hey common, your Mavis The Bravest and my Baby Werewolf Chelsea are side by side in the mascot photo gallery! : )
	♥ 9:19am common: nice vp! 2 cuties!
	9:20am Santos L Halper: Rain Parade., hurray! And good morning!
	♥ 9:24am Brian in UK: Joe, how will we notice Single File next week.
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: @Brian: Just tune in any time and it will be there!
	♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: So, you are playing middle of the road music now, Joe!!!!
	9:28am Roberto: Is the chorus really "Chuck E. Chuck E. Cheese Cheese?"
	♥ 9:29am Guido from Cologne: I knew Lush do Abba, but thisk is new to me.
	♥ 9:30am Guido from Cologne: By the way good morning Joe snd TZAG to everyone.
	9:31am tino: biting Denim?? weird
	9:32am nah: frickin' love the Aislers Set, cheers
	9:33am HEAT: loving the set!!!!
	♥ 9:33am DCE: Green Pajamas! hurray!
	9:36am the Canterbury wood-elf: That Lush cover was an annoying no.1 single from the 70s UK charts by The Middle of the Road, I think. I remember when that benefit album came out - various indie bands of the time doing ironic covers of 70s hits to raise money for the Anti-Poll Tax movement. Haven't heard it since then, so a real blast from thee past (used to love Lush back then).
	9:38am Cheri Pi: Joe! I love this song, it reminds me of my previous dog who loved to dance to it.
	♥ 9:39am Joe McG: @Cheri: I love that image!
	♥ 9:39am Marcel M: Morning Joe, morning all! Checking in late today.
	♥ 9:41am Guido from Cologne: Did the original Lally Stott (composer) version of "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" do anything chart wise?
	9:43am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Guido: Stott's own version was a hit in Italy, went to number 1 in Australia for one week, and charted at number 92 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Thanks, Wikipedia.
	9:43am Rev. Turnip Druid: Present.
	♥ 9:43am Brian in UK: Guido, not aware, neither did Middle of the Road after, one hit 'wonders'. Industrial Scottish Pop.
	9:46am KP: Hiya Joe, Heat, all!
	9:46am Cecile: hola.
	9:49am Cheri Pi: I have meeting all day long, so this was just what I needed. Thanks son.
	♥ 9:49am Guido from Cologne: Thanks people! This explains something. Middle Of The Road were operating from Italy at the time!
	9:49am Cecile: hey, Pi!
	9:52am Cecile: they both worship Lou Reed.
	9:53am Roberto: Wow, Lulu's been gone almost a year already.
	9:53am Roberto: Lulu Reed, that is.
	9:54am Cecile: Joe, you are too mellow, perk yo'self up. I'm falling asleep here.
	♥ 9:54am Michele: HI Joe! Hi everyone!
	9:54am Cecile: then that could be the flu I'm fighting.
	♥ 9:55am Marcel M: Morning Michele! Should we press the point about the German getting paid off or let sleeping dogs lie?
	9:55am Cecile: mpls label? how funny.
	9:55am Roberto: Lou and Laurie had the right idea -- they knew he had only a few days left and they got him the hell out of the hospital and off to Southampton. If I get my way, I'll be expiring in Montauk.
	♥ 9:55am Mike Noble: I may be wrong, but I believe the first 's' in Aislers is silent.
	9:56am KP: Nice day, huh.
	9:57am adrian in mpls: good morning!
	9:58am DanielGr: I think the second 's' is fairly silent, too. Or at least not really noticeable since it's followed by the 's' of set.
	♥ 9:58am Marcel M: Yeeee Hawwww!!!
	♥ 9:58am Mike Noble: They're not British! av linton (formerly amy linton) is from albuquerque!
	9:59am Cecile: monkeys are always the right answer. Thanks, Joe!
	10:00am HEAT: hi KP!
	♥ 10:00am Joe McG: @Mike: Oish! I'm never playing that group again.
	10:02am Cecile: monkeys!
	10:03am KP: Byrds!
	♥ 10:04am Michele: I love this song
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: Hi, Michele! :)
	♥ 10:06am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe & everybody! I am happy to be here. Jennie for Mascot.
	10:06am KP: Me too, Michelle!
	10:07am Cecile: Vern Gosdin is so underrated. Graet voice.
	♥ 10:08am Brian in UK: 'Specially when Gene Clark sang with them. Same intonation.
	10:08am KP: Ha! i just saw this listing. I was trying to check if Gene Clark did "100 Years." He covered it on a bootleg with Chris Hillman. As far as i can see that's it.
	10:09am KP: How about that.
	♥ 10:09am dale: this is my favorite tom rush song. the slide guitar is amazing
	♥ 10:10am Brian in UK: Did McGuinn do this on his first solo? A pre was Mack? Is that a truck?
	10:10am KP: Brian, i think you're stealing Joe's thunder (plus you beat me to it).
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: @KP: I'd love to hear Gene Clark sing it!
	♥ 10:11am Brian in UK: A pre-war Mack, that was a different song, Stone I think.
	♥ 10:11am Michele: Great set Joe!
	10:12am KP: I might still have boot but they were first thing to go with move.
	♥ 10:13am Brian in UK: Much as I love McGuinn, he was never the Voice.
	♥ 10:13am dale: in the liner notes for the 'no regrets' compilation tom said he didn't really like this song.
	10:15am Cecile: damn, play Walker Brothers version of No Regrets. It kills.
	♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Scott Engel sings the telephone directory next.
	♥ 10:15am dale: followed by a tom rush cover!
	10:16am Cecile: I'll argue that it's Scott Walker's finest vocal moment at least.
	10:16am d¢ pät: Only here for a fleeting moment today...sadly...
	♥ 10:17am common: have you heard any of the new scott walker, cecile?
	♥ 10:17am dale: now i need to hear urge for going. cecile - scott sounds like he's a bit plugged up on that one.
	10:18am jlowe: great show! u r gifted with feeding the sad with sad songs and it turns out to be medicine...thanks Joe!
	10:18am Cecile: He sounds like he's going to start bawling any minute. It had a profound impact on me as a teen.
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Jlowe: Sweet thing to say, thanks! Trying to get out my own blues today, I guess!
	♥ 10:18am MD: Good Morning World...Our World!!!
	10:21am jlowe: aw...good luck...and i was just craving that thin lined lonesome woman's voice too...she sings my song...damnit Joe you are good!
	♥ 10:22am Joe McG: Now I'm just going to get silly.
	10:23am Cecile: hahahha, I hear Waylon in the background.
	♥ 10:24am DCE: oddly, I heard that song for the first time yesterday on a local college station
	♥ 10:24am DCE: the David Allan Coe, that is
	10:24am czechano: great country set Joe! gonna hunt me down some Don Bowman now!
	♥ 10:25am Liz Berg: Did they mention something about flying burritos from California? Or did I make that up because I want it to be true?
	10:25am KP: I think this is the first time I've knowingly listened to David Allan Coe.
	10:25am Cecile: nope, it was a shout out to them.
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Liz: You heard right, Liz! (Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram Parsons!)
	♥ 10:27am Brian in UK: Me too on the McGuinn geetar. Turned my head forever.
	♥ 10:27am Liz Berg: Ah, a shout-out! I'm clearly not properly caffeinated.
	10:27am KP: Liz wants real burritos flown in
	♥ 10:28am Brian in UK: Think those FBBs could party and wreck trains.
	♥ 10:29am Joe McG: @KP: I wish we COULD get some flown in. I was supposed to go to L.A. a couple of weeks ago and was looking forward to a good burrito!
	10:31am KP: I was supposed to go to LA a couple of weeks ago but we cheaped out and went to NE, which was very nice.
	10:32am KP: We almost dropped in on Heat in Albany but she went into hiding.
	♥ 10:32am MD: MONSTER MASH!!!
	♥ 10:34am Brian in UK: Ingram was signed to LHI, Lovely Lee who objected, I believe.
	10:36am Nate K: It's Ali/Frazier on the airwaves!
	10:36am KP: The cover story was that Gram had recording ties that limited his appearances on the album. The truth was McGuinn felt that as it was a Byrds record he should do more lead vocals and Columbia agreed. I like the released version but having alt takes is great.
	10:36am OTB: Shows like this are why I send you money.
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: God bless you, OTB. Yes, everyone, send money!
	♥ 10:38am MD: 'CAUSE I'M CHOOSEY!!!!!
	♥ 10:38am MD: I SAY DUMP HIM SUZY!!!
	♥ 10:38am Marcel M: Really enjoying the set today Joe! I'm working in an apartment that has wireless Sonos speakers installed ALL OVER IT, in the ceilings and walls, and its cranked everywhere! Its glorious.
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: Thanks, Marcel! Waking up and getting groovier...
	10:39am jlowe: yes, send money...support!!!!
	♥ 10:39am MD: yeah singles!!! yeah vinal!!!!!
	♥ 10:40am Marcel M: And by "working" I mean dancing around and petting/playing with dogs
	♥ 10:40am MD: Sorry i ment to say"wax!!!"
	10:41am jlowe: I've been a loyal Trouble listener for years...now Thursdays are on the "loyal" list..thanks Joe!
	♥ 10:41am common: sounds like a good job, marcel! how does one "slip" their backbone, by the way? I've always wondered.
	10:41am Cecile: That Shake was a great version.
	10:42am oks: thats what i thought "hardworking" Marcel :)
	♥ 10:43am Marcel M: Always hard at work OKS!
	10:43am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Marcel M: Jealous!
	10:44am oks: ohhh Marcel....
	10:47am conkrete_dawg: is this song about LSD?
	10:48am Cecile: LSD Jesus.
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @conkrete: Probably!
	♥ 10:51am Marcel M: YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:51am V Priceless: SPUDS!!
	♥ 10:51am Marcel M: This sounds so raw.... Sick!!!!
	♥ 10:52am MD: dedicated to most of my co-workers!!!!!!
	10:53am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Devo never gets old. Love these early versions of their songs.
	10:53am still b/p: Cecile - I read a little about the NFL's superwhacked Superbowl demands and conditions for Minneapolis 2018, and the league's call for thousands of VOLUNTEERS to work it! Howzat all that crazy shit sit with you, citizen?
	♥ 10:54am Marcel M: Agreed Jennique! So good.
	10:55am Roberto: Dang, this set is getting a little too good...
	♥ 10:55am Marcel M: I love how Kate Bush can sound almost industrial sometimes
	10:55am V Priceless: anyone catch the Brooklyn Vegan video footage of their Times Square set from this past Sunday? Fab!
	10:55am Cecile: I am still bitter that we have a 10% sales tax on food in DT Minneapolis thanks to our coddling of sports franchises.
	10:56am Cecile: The only thing I'm excited about is that it might loosen up some liquor laws - like brewpubs can be open longer and grocery stores might carry wine.
	10:57am V Priceless: scroll to bottom of article for vid of entire Devo set! www.brooklynvegan.com...
	♥ 10:59am Marcel M: Def gonna check that out later thanks V Priceless! So annoyed I missed that...
	♥ 10:59am Sem Chumbo: Gee, 10% tax on food:-( Here, it is 15% on restaurant food, not groceries, Cecile.
	♥ 10:59am DCE: @ cecile 10:55, that is definitely something to be pissed off about. utter bullshit.
	11:00am Cecile: It's restaurant food. Groceries are still tax free, but I'm not thinking it will be forever.
	♥ 11:01am Marcel M: Awesome single file set Joe! Bye all!
	♥ 11:01am Sem Chumbo: @Cecile: I never underestimate the peckerheads who think up new things to tax ( or charge a fee for. What BS, as DCE says.
	11:03am Cecile: that was the year the Associates were huge. Anything seemed to go that year.
	♥ 11:04am DCE: you don't have to justify it, Joe! we're all cool here
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: @DCE: I know, but it just feels weird sometimes! The recordings sound too modern.
	♥ 11:15am rsj: plus you get to roll on the path train, the most extravagant rail line in all our lands. white marble platforms and the largest pigeon guards ever conceived. we'll see how they work, i think the scale is all wrong and the birds will shower forth from their lofty perches. white dove or pigeon, it's a fine and sometimes muddy line
	11:16am Claw!: JOE! Your shout-out made my morning! I'm running around at work when I hear you say my name, and it was pretty awesome. :)) Thanks for all the awesome tunes every Thurs. Your show is something I look forward to every week. Keep it up, Sir - you're doing the Lord's work. <3
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: Well done, Claw! Thanks again!
	11:20am conkrete_dawg: nurse Julia
	11:22am still b/p: Didn't know "Julia's" career and footprint was so long and wide.
	♥ 11:24am Greg from Bloomfield: Rainy day music
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @still: Also a beautiful LP cover, BTW, if I can find it...
	11:25am Parq: Wow, I missed Diahann Carroll. I knew there was more to her than "Julia", but I haven't actually heard her sing since her variety-show days in the late 60s. Didn't realize there were so many other geezers in the audience who'd remember her.
	11:26am Carmichael: Hey Joe and other geezers.
	11:27am KP: Losing My Taste is quite a track
	♥ 11:27am Sem Chumbo: Please, Carm, "Senior Geezers", if you don't mind.
	11:27am Parq: media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...
	♥ 11:27am 12539: (Joe, due to local buffering issues I've probably only heard about 18% of your show, but it's been good so far.)
	11:27am bibi: hi. yep, title itself is not half a statement.
	♥ 11:29am Sem Chumbo: "The brown antacid is not necessarily that good, but it's your trip..." Thx, Paul Krassner.
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @12539: Bummer about the buffer! Hope it improves!
	♥ 11:30am Sem Chumbo: @Parq: hehehe. Ah, what am I laughin' at again?
	♥ 11:33am Andrew Waterloo: This sounds like the Buckaroo Banzai soundtrack
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: Here's that LP cover, BTW: www.diahann-carroll.com...
	♥ 11:35am Andrew Waterloo: Rüdiger Lorenz (September 1, 1941 – January 31, 2000) was a German pharmacist and synthesist known for his large collection of analog synthesizers and his prolific output of albums featuring them
	11:37am Carmichael: Either Dan Bodah or Dave Mandl played this Corgis song recently. Pretty laidback.
	11:38am dave from toronto: fantastic show today joe! thanks!
	11:39am adrian in mpls: ah, this song is making my morning
	♥ 11:39am DCE: yeah me likes this
	11:40am Carmichael: @Sem: We were talking over on the GTDS board about the Cuban Missile Crisis and how old we were. I came in "2nd place" ...
	♥ 11:40am MattBelow: I am enjoying your contemplative selections Joe McG...perfect for a rainy day
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @MB: Why thank you, Matt! @Carm: Doug's Cuban show on Tuesday was killer.
	♥ 11:44am Michele: I just saw Mary Lattimore and Jeff Zeigler play over the weekend. They were so good. I think they are going to be on Dan Bodah's show soon.
	♥ 11:44am Mike East: Yes, these songs are more appropriate for today than my choice of footwear this morning...gonna have soggy feet all day. WFMU never leaves your feet soggy.
	♥ 11:44am Mike East: except maybe Bryce
	♥ 11:45am Michele: Awesome show today Joe!
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @Michele: Wow, how cool! It says here on the CD that they'll be on Irene's show on November 10th, so almost! (The same day, anyway...) (Thanks!!)
	♥ 11:48am Sem Chumbo: @Carm: when you're #2...yep, remember vividly hiding under my desk, assured that it would save me from a nuclear blast. Ah, Youth!
	♥ 11:49am Sem Chumbo: Youth=8 years old.
	♥ 11:53am Sem Chumbo: Glad we've had this time together, Joe. Fine spins and the McGaskoids in top form. See ya later.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Thanks, Sem. I'm singing that Carol Burnett closing song right now.
	11:57am still b/p: As they say, "It ain't over 'til the lean lady tugs her lobe."
	♥ 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Joe. (I'll go to the archive for the 82% I missed.)
	♥ 11:58am common: good stuff as always, joe. thanks! helping me today.
	♥ 12:00pm Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks, Joe!

	♥ 9:07am SeanG: Yo Joe!
	♥ 9:11am Joe McG: Good morning, everyone. Don't mind the rain. It's cleansing.
	♥ 9:12am dale: it could rain for days and i don't think we'd make up the deficit.
	♥ 9:14am dale: have to share this englebert humperdinck duet cover of cat stevens he sings with his son. the duet he does with gene simmons is god awful though. www.youtube.com...
	9:15am V Priceless: Mornin' Joe and gang! Hey common, your Mavis The Bravest and my Baby Werewolf Chelsea are side by side in the mascot photo gallery! : )

	9:20am Santos L Halper: Rain Parade., hurray! And good morning!
	♥ 9:24am Brian in UK: Joe, how will we notice Single File next week.
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: @Brian: Just tune in any time and it will be there!
	♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: So, you are playing middle of the road music now, Joe!!!!
	9:28am Roberto: Is the chorus really "Chuck E. Chuck E. Cheese Cheese?"
	♥ 9:29am Guido from Cologne: I knew Lush do Abba, but thisk is new to me.
	♥ 9:30am Guido from Cologne: By the way good morning Joe snd TZAG to everyone.
	9:31am tino: biting Denim?? weird
	9:32am nah: frickin' love the Aislers Set, cheers
	9:33am HEAT: loving the set!!!!
	♥ 9:33am DCE: Green Pajamas! hurray!
	9:36am the Canterbury wood-elf: That Lush cover was an annoying no.1 single from the 70s UK charts by The Middle of the Road, I think. I remember when that benefit album came out - various indie bands of the time doing ironic covers of 70s hits to raise money for the Anti-Poll Tax movement. Haven't heard it since then, so a real blast from thee past (used to love Lush back then).
	9:38am Cheri Pi: Joe! I love this song, it reminds me of my previous dog who loved to dance to it.
	♥ 9:39am Joe McG: @Cheri: I love that image!
	♥ 9:39am Marcel M: Morning Joe, morning all! Checking in late today.
	♥ 9:41am Guido from Cologne: Did the original Lally Stott (composer) version of "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" do anything chart wise?
	9:43am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Guido: Stott's own version was a hit in Italy, went to number 1 in Australia for one week, and charted at number 92 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Thanks, Wikipedia.
	9:43am Rev. Turnip Druid: Present.
	♥ 9:43am Brian in UK: Guido, not aware, neither did Middle of the Road after, one hit 'wonders'. Industrial Scottish Pop.
	9:46am KP: Hiya Joe, Heat, all!
	9:46am Cecile: hola.
	9:49am Cheri Pi: I have meeting all day long, so this was just what I needed. Thanks son.
	♥ 9:49am Guido from Cologne: Thanks people! This explains something. Middle Of The Road were operating from Italy at the time!
	9:49am Cecile: hey, Pi!
	9:52am Cecile: they both worship Lou Reed.
	9:53am Roberto: Wow, Lulu's been gone almost a year already.
	9:53am Roberto: Lulu Reed, that is.
	9:54am Cecile: Joe, you are too mellow, perk yo'self up. I'm falling asleep here.
	♥ 9:54am Michele: HI Joe! Hi everyone!
	9:54am Cecile: then that could be the flu I'm fighting.
	♥ 9:55am Marcel M: Morning Michele! Should we press the point about the German getting paid off or let sleeping dogs lie?
	9:55am Cecile: mpls label? how funny.
	9:55am Roberto: Lou and Laurie had the right idea -- they knew he had only a few days left and they got him the hell out of the hospital and off to Southampton. If I get my way, I'll be expiring in Montauk.
	♥ 9:55am Mike Noble: I may be wrong, but I believe the first 's' in Aislers is silent.
	9:56am KP: Nice day, huh.
	9:57am adrian in mpls: good morning!
	9:58am DanielGr: I think the second 's' is fairly silent, too. Or at least not really noticeable since it's followed by the 's' of set.
	♥ 9:58am Marcel M: Yeeee Hawwww!!!
	♥ 9:58am Mike Noble: They're not British! av linton (formerly amy linton) is from albuquerque!
	9:59am Cecile: monkeys are always the right answer. Thanks, Joe!
	10:00am HEAT: hi KP!
	♥ 10:00am Joe McG: @Mike: Oish! I'm never playing that group again.
	10:02am Cecile: monkeys!
	10:03am KP: Byrds!
	♥ 10:04am Michele: I love this song
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: Hi, Michele! :)
	♥ 10:06am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe & everybody! I am happy to be here. Jennie for Mascot.
	10:06am KP: Me too, Michelle!
	10:07am Cecile: Vern Gosdin is so underrated. Graet voice.
	♥ 10:08am Brian in UK: 'Specially when Gene Clark sang with them. Same intonation.
	10:08am KP: Ha! i just saw this listing. I was trying to check if Gene Clark did "100 Years." He covered it on a bootleg with Chris Hillman. As far as i can see that's it.
	10:09am KP: How about that.
	♥ 10:09am dale: this is my favorite tom rush song. the slide guitar is amazing
	♥ 10:10am Brian in UK: Did McGuinn do this on his first solo? A pre was Mack? Is that a truck?
	10:10am KP: Brian, i think you're stealing Joe's thunder (plus you beat me to it).
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: @KP: I'd love to hear Gene Clark sing it!
	♥ 10:11am Brian in UK: A pre-war Mack, that was a different song, Stone I think.
	♥ 10:11am Michele: Great set Joe!
	10:12am KP: I might still have boot but they were first thing to go with move.
	♥ 10:13am Brian in UK: Much as I love McGuinn, he was never the Voice.
	♥ 10:13am dale: in the liner notes for the 'no regrets' compilation tom said he didn't really like this song.
	10:15am Cecile: damn, play Walker Brothers version of No Regrets. It kills.
	♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Scott Engel sings the telephone directory next.
	♥ 10:15am dale: followed by a tom rush cover!
	10:16am Cecile: I'll argue that it's Scott Walker's finest vocal moment at least.
	10:16am d¢ pät: Only here for a fleeting moment today...sadly...
	♥ 10:17am common: have you heard any of the new scott walker, cecile?
	♥ 10:17am dale: now i need to hear urge for going. cecile - scott sounds like he's a bit plugged up on that one.
	10:18am jlowe: great show! u r gifted with feeding the sad with sad songs and it turns out to be medicine...thanks Joe!
	10:18am Cecile: He sounds like he's going to start bawling any minute. It had a profound impact on me as a teen.
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Jlowe: Sweet thing to say, thanks! Trying to get out my own blues today, I guess!
	♥ 10:18am MD: Good Morning World...Our World!!!
	10:21am jlowe: aw...good luck...and i was just craving that thin lined lonesome woman's voice too...she sings my song...damnit Joe you are good!
	♥ 10:22am Joe McG: Now I'm just going to get silly.
	10:23am Cecile: hahahha, I hear Waylon in the background.
	♥ 10:24am DCE: oddly, I heard that song for the first time yesterday on a local college station
	♥ 10:24am DCE: the David Allan Coe, that is
	10:24am czechano: great country set Joe! gonna hunt me down some Don Bowman now!
	♥ 10:25am Liz Berg: Did they mention something about flying burritos from California? Or did I make that up because I want it to be true?
	10:25am KP: I think this is the first time I've knowingly listened to David Allan Coe.
	10:25am Cecile: nope, it was a shout out to them.
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Liz: You heard right, Liz! (Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram Parsons!)
	♥ 10:27am Brian in UK: Me too on the McGuinn geetar. Turned my head forever.
	♥ 10:27am Liz Berg: Ah, a shout-out! I'm clearly not properly caffeinated.
	10:27am KP: Liz wants real burritos flown in
	♥ 10:28am Brian in UK: Think those FBBs could party and wreck trains.
	♥ 10:29am Joe McG: @KP: I wish we COULD get some flown in. I was supposed to go to L.A. a couple of weeks ago and was looking forward to a good burrito!
	10:31am KP: I was supposed to go to LA a couple of weeks ago but we cheaped out and went to NE, which was very nice.
	10:32am KP: We almost dropped in on Heat in Albany but she went into hiding.
	♥ 10:32am MD: MONSTER MASH!!!
	♥ 10:34am Brian in UK: Ingram was signed to LHI, Lovely Lee who objected, I believe.
	10:36am Nate K: It's Ali/Frazier on the airwaves!
	10:36am KP: The cover story was that Gram had recording ties that limited his appearances on the album. The truth was McGuinn felt that as it was a Byrds record he should do more lead vocals and Columbia agreed. I like the released version but having alt takes is great.
	10:36am OTB: Shows like this are why I send you money.
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: God bless you, OTB. Yes, everyone, send money!
	♥ 10:38am MD: 'CAUSE I'M CHOOSEY!!!!!
	♥ 10:38am MD: I SAY DUMP HIM SUZY!!!
	♥ 10:38am Marcel M: Really enjoying the set today Joe! I'm working in an apartment that has wireless Sonos speakers installed ALL OVER IT, in the ceilings and walls, and its cranked everywhere! Its glorious.
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: Thanks, Marcel! Waking up and getting groovier...
	10:39am jlowe: yes, send money...support!!!!
	♥ 10:39am MD: yeah singles!!! yeah vinal!!!!!
	♥ 10:40am Marcel M: And by "working" I mean dancing around and petting/playing with dogs
	♥ 10:40am MD: Sorry i ment to say"wax!!!"
	10:41am jlowe: I've been a loyal Trouble listener for years...now Thursdays are on the "loyal" list..thanks Joe!
	♥ 10:41am common: sounds like a good job, marcel! how does one "slip" their backbone, by the way? I've always wondered.
	10:41am Cecile: That Shake was a great version.
	10:42am oks: thats what i thought "hardworking" Marcel :)
	♥ 10:43am Marcel M: Always hard at work OKS!
	10:43am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Marcel M: Jealous!
	10:44am oks: ohhh Marcel....

	♥ 10:52am MD: dedicated to most of my co-workers!!!!!!
	10:53am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Devo never gets old. Love these early versions of their songs.
	10:53am still b/p: Cecile - I read a little about the NFL's superwhacked Superbowl demands and conditions for Minneapolis 2018, and the league's call for thousands of VOLUNTEERS to work it! Howzat all that crazy shit sit with you, citizen?
	♥ 10:54am Marcel M: Agreed Jennique! So good.
	10:55am Roberto: Dang, this set is getting a little too good...
	♥ 10:55am Marcel M: I love how Kate Bush can sound almost industrial sometimes
	10:55am V Priceless: anyone catch the Brooklyn Vegan video footage of their Times Square set from this past Sunday? Fab!
	10:55am Cecile: I am still bitter that we have a 10% sales tax on food in DT Minneapolis thanks to our coddling of sports franchises.
	10:56am Cecile: The only thing I'm excited about is that it might loosen up some liquor laws - like brewpubs can be open longer and grocery stores might carry wine.
	10:57am V Priceless: scroll to bottom of article for vid of entire Devo set! www.brooklynvegan.com...
	♥ 10:59am Marcel M: Def gonna check that out later thanks V Priceless! So annoyed I missed that...
	♥ 10:59am Sem Chumbo: Gee, 10% tax on food:-( Here, it is 15% on restaurant food, not groceries, Cecile.
	♥ 10:59am DCE: @ cecile 10:55, that is definitely something to be pissed off about. utter bullshit.
	11:00am Cecile: It's restaurant food. Groceries are still tax free, but I'm not thinking it will be forever.
	♥ 11:01am Marcel M: Awesome single file set Joe! Bye all!
	♥ 11:01am Sem Chumbo: @Cecile: I never underestimate the peckerheads who think up new things to tax ( or charge a fee for. What BS, as DCE says.
	11:03am Cecile: that was the year the Associates were huge. Anything seemed to go that year.
	♥ 11:04am DCE: you don't have to justify it, Joe! we're all cool here
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: @DCE: I know, but it just feels weird sometimes! The recordings sound too modern.
	♥ 11:15am rsj: plus you get to roll on the path train, the most extravagant rail line in all our lands. white marble platforms and the largest pigeon guards ever conceived. we'll see how they work, i think the scale is all wrong and the birds will shower forth from their lofty perches. white dove or pigeon, it's a fine and sometimes muddy line
	11:16am Claw!: JOE! Your shout-out made my morning! I'm running around at work when I hear you say my name, and it was pretty awesome. :)) Thanks for all the awesome tunes every Thurs. Your show is something I look forward to every week. Keep it up, Sir - you're doing the Lord's work. <3
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: Well done, Claw! Thanks again!
	11:20am conkrete_dawg: nurse Julia
	11:22am still b/p: Didn't know "Julia's" career and footprint was so long and wide.
	♥ 11:24am Greg from Bloomfield: Rainy day music
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @still: Also a beautiful LP cover, BTW, if I can find it...
	11:25am Parq: Wow, I missed Diahann Carroll. I knew there was more to her than "Julia", but I haven't actually heard her sing since her variety-show days in the late 60s. Didn't realize there were so many other geezers in the audience who'd remember her.
	11:26am Carmichael: Hey Joe and other geezers.
	11:27am KP: Losing My Taste is quite a track
	♥ 11:27am Sem Chumbo: Please, Carm, "Senior Geezers", if you don't mind.
	11:27am Parq: media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...
	♥ 11:27am 12539: (Joe, due to local buffering issues I've probably only heard about 18% of your show, but it's been good so far.)
	11:27am bibi: hi. yep, title itself is not half a statement.
	♥ 11:29am Sem Chumbo: "The brown antacid is not necessarily that good, but it's your trip..." Thx, Paul Krassner.
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @12539: Bummer about the buffer! Hope it improves!
	♥ 11:30am Sem Chumbo: @Parq: hehehe. Ah, what am I laughin' at again?
	♥ 11:33am Andrew Waterloo: This sounds like the Buckaroo Banzai soundtrack
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: Here's that LP cover, BTW: www.diahann-carroll.com...
	♥ 11:35am Andrew Waterloo: Rüdiger Lorenz (September 1, 1941 – January 31, 2000) was a German pharmacist and synthesist known for his large collection of analog synthesizers and his prolific output of albums featuring them
	11:37am Carmichael: Either Dan Bodah or Dave Mandl played this Corgis song recently. Pretty laidback.
	11:38am dave from toronto: fantastic show today joe! thanks!
	11:39am adrian in mpls: ah, this song is making my morning
	♥ 11:39am DCE: yeah me likes this
	11:40am Carmichael: @Sem: We were talking over on the GTDS board about the Cuban Missile Crisis and how old we were. I came in "2nd place" ...
	♥ 11:40am MattBelow: I am enjoying your contemplative selections Joe McG...perfect for a rainy day
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @MB: Why thank you, Matt! @Carm: Doug's Cuban show on Tuesday was killer.
	♥ 11:44am Michele: I just saw Mary Lattimore and Jeff Zeigler play over the weekend. They were so good. I think they are going to be on Dan Bodah's show soon.
	♥ 11:44am Mike East: Yes, these songs are more appropriate for today than my choice of footwear this morning...gonna have soggy feet all day. WFMU never leaves your feet soggy.
	♥ 11:44am Mike East: except maybe Bryce
	♥ 11:45am Michele: Awesome show today Joe!
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @Michele: Wow, how cool! It says here on the CD that they'll be on Irene's show on November 10th, so almost! (The same day, anyway...) (Thanks!!)
	♥ 11:48am Sem Chumbo: @Carm: when you're #2...yep, remember vividly hiding under my desk, assured that it would save me from a nuclear blast. Ah, Youth!
	♥ 11:49am Sem Chumbo: Youth=8 years old.
	♥ 11:53am Sem Chumbo: Glad we've had this time together, Joe. Fine spins and the McGaskoids in top form. See ya later.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Thanks, Sem. I'm singing that Carol Burnett closing song right now.
	11:57am still b/p: As they say, "It ain't over 'til the lean lady tugs her lobe."
	♥ 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Joe. (I'll go to the archive for the 82% I missed.)
	♥ 11:58am common: good stuff as always, joe. thanks! helping me today.
	♥ 12:00pm Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks, Joe!
