	♥ 9:21am Joe McG: Hi, everybody! Happy steel pans to you.
	9:21am Claw!: Damn, Adrian. I know how that can be. Hang in there. You'll find that those closest to you will come through at times like these... hugs

	♥ 9:23am common: and thanks, cheri!
	♥ 9:23am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Got any Desperadoes?
	♥ 9:25am Joe McG: @Brian: I'll see what I can do!
	9:26am DeaconDave: Hi Joe!
	♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: Only three months to Carnival in Trinidad. Get your masquerades ready.
	♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: Top job, Joe. What a station.
	9:29am bobdoesthings: goodmorniingnggngngngng
	9:31am adrian in mpls: Joe -- my office is only at 58 degrees, but you got me bobbing around in here and it's keeping me warm! thanks!
	♥ 9:31am Brian in UK: @adrian in mpls Thinking of you from over the water. Tough time.
	♥ 9:32am Michele: Morning Joe! Hi fellow listeners!
	9:33am V Priceless: yeah, good luck today, common!
	♥ 9:33am Marcel M: Hey Michele! Morning.
	9:33am adrian in mpls: @Brian in UK - thanks -- it's very sincerely appreciated
	9:34am the glowing one: this set reminds me of that carribean sea cruise that I swore never to make
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: Hi, Michele! :)
	♥ 9:36am 12539: Heineken Orchestra, Pan Am Steelband - is this what happens when the station doesn't meet its goal?!
	9:36am Stashu: Bless you.
	♥ 9:37am Stanley: HI Joe (stealing a naughty listen at work, as I'm the only one here) Brian - I've been contemplating your wise words.
	♥ 9:37am Joe McG: @12539: Ha ha ha! @Stashu: But I didn't sneeze! ;)
	9:37am Claw!: I like this set, but it's really driving home the point that the weather/temperature here is nowhere near Caribbean levels. And that is a total drag.
	♥ 9:38am common: thanks vp!
	9:38am PKNY: @12539 - I've also notice the unholy marriage between steel drum bands and corporate naming rights!
	9:38am Stashu: You telepathically sneezed. If we lived in a world where this kind of music would tune out politicians... and large brass and drum bands would come stand in front of T.V.s at bars. I would like that world. Is there a portal?
	9:40am thedunkel: Good Morning Steely Joe…
	♥ 9:40am Brian in UK: @the glowing one this is the mother for you. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 9:41am Brian in UK: Hey Stanley. Not sure about wise, just pragmatic.
	♥ 9:42am Brian in UK: aka Despers by the locals.
	♥ 9:45am Stevel: Stashu speaks sense.
	9:47am Robert: This sounds like some of Ken's bed music, but better.
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: @Robert: Yes, these guys ate some Neu! for breakfast before they recorded this.
	♥ 9:49am Marcel M: Agreed Robert. Quite Neu!ish.
	9:50am Kevlicki: Morning joe, Michele and everyone Looking forward to the next 6 months of thurs mornings with ya joe
	9:50am the glowing one: eins, zwei, DREI, vier eins, zwei, DREI, vier eins, zwei, DREI, vier
	♥ 9:50am Greg from Bloomfield: Hey gang! Hey Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo!
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, Kevlicki! SO happy to be here.
	9:51am adrian in mpls: wow, this is tickling all my krautrock bones
	9:51am mark: neu! and new order
	9:53am mark: that was referencing the dream police as I'm on a delay
	9:53am PKNY: @Greg - That's the worst name I ever heard.
	9:54am Kevlicki: Out of curiosity, how does a freeform station decide on it's scheduling? What kind of organizational structure does fmu have? I know it has a dictator...
	9:55am steve: hey folks
	9:56am Cecile: I believe it's based on schedule preferences, program balance, and whether or not people actually apply for a spot...LAMIN. wags finger
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: @Kevlicki: It's the enormous chad-spewing computer in the basement producing all of the logarithms.
	9:57am Cecile: aw, Adrian, so sad to hear that.
	10:00am Cecile: on a happier note, a middle-aged urban philosopher was telling his friend about the futility of life's illusions, and cited "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics as an example. Then he proceeded to sing it. Then I joined in. Then half of the bus. Then someone started dancing in their seat. Then the bus stopped and we all got off.
	10:00am adrian in mpls: @cecile - thanks for the sympathy. it's difficult...but in the end it's better for both of us
	10:01am adrian in mpls: OMG -- which bus was it?? i need to start riding that one!
	10:01am Robert: Well, Kevlicki, how would you do it? As to the dictator, Scott Williams IIRC did it about a year and a half before shucking it back off to Ken.
	10:01am steve: ill die happy if that happens once in my life, Cecile
	10:03am Cecile: It was a 10 southbound to downtown. Usually there is either dead silence or cussing over the phone, although there is a clutch of older soccer mom types who camp out in the back of the bus early on on their way to work, who are pretty hysterical.
	10:03am Robert: Hey, does this mean Kevlicki is volunteering for Program Director?
	10:03am Cecile: I eavesdrop a lot, steve, and have poor filters. I've had similar weird moments, but this is a special one.
	10:04am Cecile: also at the end, the guy's friend goes "wow, the 70s", and three of us go in unison, "80s!" hahahah
	10:05am adrian in mpls: hahahahaha -- that's too perfect
	♥ 10:05am common: great cecile!
	10:05am Jan Fallada: Was curious about those album covers: i.ebayimg.com...$(KGrHqJ,!rcE88g9cmt7BPST)So9kQ~~60_35.JPG virginvinylrecords.com... thumbs2.ebaystatic.com...
	10:06am Cecile: yeah, that did perk me up a lot.
	10:06am bobdoesthings: @joe can we hear "sweet dreams" by the eurythmics for @cecile ?? and well.. all of us..
	10:07am Cecile: that is AWESOME, Jan. the middle one is going in my inspiration file.
	10:07am Cecile: make sure you are singing along with it.
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: Thanks, Jan! I couldn't open the first one, but you've got "Souvenirs in Steel" in full-color!
	10:07am steve: the whole thing is genius. i'm usually on the nyc bus a few times a week, may have to see if i can make this happen myself. just think about how many days are brightened by such a thing,
	10:07am adrian in mpls: @Jan & Cecile - I actually grabbed that record from a free pile about a month ago!
	10:08am Jan Fallada: Oeps!? img.cdandlp.com...
	10:09am Kevlicki: Robert, Ha! It was just an honest question not a criticism
	10:09am Cecile: jan no words
	10:10am Cecile: psst, Kevlicki, if they're offering you the job, take it....!
	10:10am Cecile: no kidding, Adrian. as the kids say, jelz.
	10:11am t_J: Hi Every1 , Swag's here danke ;) - i have an offer for 3 months work away from music practice .. and well its to warmer geographic areas, i guess i'm up to it
	10:11am Cecile: where t_j?
	10:11am Kevlicki: @cecile Jeez its been impossible for me to make it over to JC to volunteer, how the hell would I make time for that much commitment
	10:11am t_J: Allgarve
	♥ 10:12am Brian in UK: @ t_J who was the guy who said YES to everything for one year? Could be you.
	10:12am Kevlicki: But I do like a job offer without having to submit anything
	♥ 10:13am Brian in UK: Portugal is getting more expensive, but where is not.
	10:13am Cecile: I have to look that up. Portugal sounds nice right about now. Kev, just have them put together calendars for you, and then just thumbs up or thumbs down them. Delegate!
	♥ 10:13am Brian in UK: @Kevlicki What about the MEDICAL?
	10:14am adrian in mpls: Ex Hex - whoo hoo!
	10:14am Cecile: these guys sound like a lady Shoes.
	♥ 10:14am Brian in UK: I Loves POP.
	10:15am Lewis: gotta love the gittar...
	10:15am Cecile: it's Mary Timony. At least she stopped channeling the Cars and Steeleye Span together.
	10:16am Cecile: that was a bad phase.
	♥ 10:17am Brian in UK: @ t_J Lisbon & Cadiz are close by. Lots of fresh fish to eat. Sounds good.
	10:19am Lewis: can you say 'the next level!" who woulda thunk it...
	10:19am Kevlicki: Melt banana did the best uncontrollable urge cover
	10:19am cheyenne_h: Have you heard the DEV2.0 version of "uncontrollable urge"? It's about snacks.
	10:19am V Priceless: nice bass geetar on this spuds cover
	10:20am adrian in mpls: @Cecile - agreed. I've always liked Timony's stuff -- but this new stuff is much better than what she was doing in the 00s. the Ex Hex show here was pretty fun!
	♥ 10:20am Brian in UK: Great morphing through this set, Joe.
	10:20am t_J: It's close where I live so .. and it's a family contact recovery hand that stretches, and even tough I was beginning to be culturally active and out band searching near the capital.. this got a good scent over it .. 4 stars hotel condo
	10:21am Stashu: Kosmicher Laufer. He is an enigma.
	10:21am Cecile: I haven't been to a show is so long.... t_j, that sounds like a good move for you.
	10:21am Kevlicki: I saw them in Austin in 2000 and everyone knew they were playing it as a cover, and expecting it. They said, this next one is a cover, everyone cheered, then they started playing that terrible lick from Lenny kravitz's song that I don't want to remember the name of. Everyone stood there stunned for a second until they broke into "yeah yeah yeah yeah..." Then it was madness
	10:21am lauren: more devo covers joe!
	10:22am t_J: and the Colder Winter Days fast forwarded I hope
	♥ 10:22am Brian in UK: More D E V O ! !
	♥ 10:23am Brian in UK: t_J That's you sorted out then.
	10:23am Claw!: I have an Uncontrollable Urge to hear some more DEVO!
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: This one's your fault, Cheyenne!
	10:24am Kevlicki: Oh dear, another episode of endless covers, yeah yeah yeah yeah..
	♥ 10:24am 12539: Uh oh, I think I have an Uncontrollable Rigby.
	10:24am t_J: And less electricity expenditure @ home, blah!
	10:24am Laura L: Round on the ends and hi in the middle!
	10:25am Cecile: I want to hear Troglodyte. ;)
	10:25am cheyenne_h: d'oh! you're welcome, everyone
	10:25am bobdoesthings: uncontrollable elanor urge rigby.
	♥ 10:25am Brian in UK: I still imagine Cadiz to have a harbour full of tall masted ships about to depart across the Atlantic for the New World.
	10:25am Claw!: Girl U Want! Mongoloid! Big Mess!
	10:25am Cecile: play chocolate city for 3 hours.
	10:26am Carmen: I still think DEV2.0 are the most Devo thing ever.
	10:26am Cecile: that might have been Kenny G's best program ever.
	10:27am conkrete: Sin34 wins
	10:27am Cecile: dear lord, a Disney tween band doing Devo?
	♥ 10:27am Brian in UK: Single File on time today?
	♥ 10:27am Sem Chumbo: Gosh darn good show so far, Joe. Top hole, top hole! Hiya, all ya sonuvaguns.
	10:28am Claw!: I remember seeing a while back that there was an all-female DEVO cover band called DEVA. Isn't that just swell??
	10:29am Cecile: I suddenly got very, very sad.
	♥ 10:30am Brian in UK: @Sem have you been at the Wodehouse Red?
	10:30am Cecile: Is top hole the same as top shelf here in the states?
	♥ 10:31am Marcel M: Gotta miss single file today :-( bye everyone!
	10:32am Holly in NC: Good Morning! SOOO bummed I missed the steel band set, but will give me something to look forward to this evening :-)
	♥ 10:32am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK, why yes, old chap. Ankled over to the libray and was ensnared by old Woody, as we intimates call him.
	10:32am Cecile: later marcel! great tune.
	♥ 10:33am Brian in UK: Little Willie John's take does me.
	10:33am PKNY: @Claw - DEVA is (was?) fronted by my friend Esther (aka Chip Fontaine of the Electric Mess). Not sure if they done any shows recently, haven't seen her in a bit.
	10:33am oks: bye bye marcel
	10:34am Brendan: Mona Lisa was so not a man. She was a tranny.
	10:34am Cecile: disco Duke!
	♥ 10:35am Brian in UK: @Brendan over here a tranny used to be short for a transistor radio, later a Ford Transit Van now, Well.
	10:35am Claw!: PKNY - Nice! I was wondering what became of them...
	♥ 10:36am Sem Chumbo: @brendan: standard or automatic?
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Sem! I love the expression "top hole"!
	♥ 10:37am Brian in UK: @Sem reverse only.
	♥ 10:38am Sem Chumbo: @Joe: I'll throw out a few more and see if they find favour wkith you. @Brian:wicked, eh, wicked.
	10:38am GeesyCreesy: Haven't heard this P5 track in forever.
	♥ 10:38am Webhamster Henry: Flashback to WFMU in the 90s!
	10:39am steve: pizzicatoooo!
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @Webmsaster: Ah, I remember fondly!
	♥ 10:44am Brian in UK: The joy of Wodehouse was that he invented expressions that seemed timeless but he had just invented.
	10:45am Cecile: when you say wubba dubba dah, then I say wubba dubba dah that's how we used to sing this song as kids.
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: @Cecile: ha ha!
	10:46am V Priceless: great piece of music
	10:47am Stashu: The orange cat I live with has a big fat belly. I bet she would like this song.
	♥ 10:47am Brian in UK: When it's Single File time in NJ it's beagle walking time in Watford.
	♥ 10:47am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK: "What Wodehouse writes," said Douglas Adams, "is pure word music. It matters not one whit that he writes endless variations on a theme of pig kidnappings, lofty butlers, and ludicrous impostures. He is the greatest musician of the English language."
	10:49am DeaconDave: I love this section of the show . . .
	10:49am Brendan: When Claudine whispers sweet nothings I get goose bumps. She is dangerous on many levels.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: You and me both, Brendan.
	♥ 10:51am Brian in UK: @Sem on a par with Dylan Thomas for his use of language. As you say, the plots were secondary to the way of writing them.
	♥ 10:52am Webhamster Henry: I heard it as Teaneck's Love.
	♥ 10:55am doctorjazz: Memphis soul, love it!
	♥ 10:56am doctorjazz: There's a jarring transition, another great single, though...
	♥ 10:57am Michele: I love this song!
	♥ 10:57am Michele: I like to dance to it with my eyes closed
	10:57am conkrete: hello college years
	10:57am oks: wfmu i melt with you...
	10:57am Claw!: Wow... didn't see this coming.
	10:58am Parq: This will never not be gorgeous.
	10:58am frenchee: aw Joe, this is a frenchee fave!
	10:58am Claw!: I like playing along to this on my drums. :)
	10:58am frenchee: WHAT PARQ said
	10:59am Cecile: This is still a great song.
	10:59am frenchee: also, perfect end credits music for VALLEY GIRL
	11:00am oks: robbie grey was so hot!
	11:00am Cecile: you know it frenchee.
	11:01am frenchee: *arguably Nic Cage's last good picture
	11:01am V Priceless: i remember seeing Mod English open for Roxy Music in '83 at Radio City.
	11:01am Parq: 1982 was such a great year for post-punk singles.
	11:03am still b/p: Dylan Thomas notebook discovered. Mum-in-law wanted to burn it. www.theguardian.com... I also followed a different link to The Guardian today to see excerpts nominated for Literary Review Bad Sex in Fiction award. I will provide that link in a plain brown wrapper if someone wants it.
	11:06am johnk77: other large and long lasting singles from 1982 include Tainted Love by Soft Cell and 867-5309/Jenny by Tommy Tutone
	11:06am .: <u>....
	11:08am bobdoesthings: Vashti Bunyan! cool... 6am Saturday..... uhm.. I'll check the archives
	11:08am frenchee: WOW, great interviews/appearances comin' down the pike!
	♥ 11:08am Greg from Bloomfield: JOJO!!!
	♥ 11:09am Sem Chumbo: @still b/p: OK, thanks for the tip, haven't seen the Guardian yet today, always like to dive into bad Sex Writing:-P
	11:10am V Priceless: @ still b/p - I vote for the animus theory
	11:11am oks: can't wait for jonathan richman!! great news !!
	11:12am Dean: Late to the show here. A series of three covers of "Uncontrollable Urge," and not one by Claw Hammer?
	11:13am .Brendan: He's cute ain't he? Only problem is, he's got a little bit a Mississippi leg hound in 'im. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. You don't want him around if you're wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let 'im finish.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Dean: I hope you'll forgive me.
	11:18am Dean: @Joe: Well, grumble, grumble...oh, heck, forgiven.
	11:19am Robert: I was hoping to catch Jonathan Richman's show at Sarah Lawrence College with a friend who lives in Bronxville, but it turns out to be for the students only.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @Robert: I hope they bring their newspapers.
	11:23am conkrete: hey that's A. Escovedo. was wondering why i liked that Fauntleroys so much
	11:25am oks: jonathan richman will play at the bell house nov. 18 nov.19
	♥ 11:25am Sem Chumbo: Ever since Broken English, this woman has had a grip on me. In a very very satisfying way.
	11:26am Dean: I'm hearing an echo here of Ferron I'd never heard before.
	11:26am oks: her autobiography is awesome
	11:27am Brendan: Hey Joe , You got any Bobby Womack in there? Was doin' 110th St in the shower this mornin' - gave it a good run but couldn't do it justice, even turnin' off hot water for a high note
	11:27am Cecile: I think she's been travelling similar territory as Nick Cave with more success and less publicity. Just my opinion, though.
	11:27am Robert: I don't get the newspapers reference, Joe McG.
	11:27am Cecile: ok this string section is pure crap.
	11:28am bobdoesthings: oh boy..
	11:28am adrian in mpls: oh noooooo
	11:28am Cecile: I'm sitting this one out. Try again, Neil.
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @Brendon: Not today, unfortunately! @Robert: Oh, sorry! Back when he broke up the Modern Lovers, he did concerts where he asked people to accompany him with rolled up newspapers and stuff like that, no amplification.
	11:29am KP: This Neil sounds good. Thanks for playing it.
	♥ 11:30am Michele: God I love Neil Young.
	11:30am Robert: Thanks for the explanation, Joe McG. By the time I saw him a few yrs. ago, he was no longer doing that schtick.
	11:30am Cecile: good old Neil. Polarizing as always.
	♥ 11:32am doctorjazz: Still sounds the same, and we'll be able to hear it hi-rez on his Pono Player (which should net him a mint, judging by how the crowd source offer did)
	11:32am Robert: I wonder if he's learned any new languages since I saw him almost a decade ago.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: @Robert: He sure sings a lot in Spanish these days!
	11:34am Robert: He was doing English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Arabic then.
	11:36am Holly in NC: Ohh - clicky Kawana!
	11:37am Josh: Guess which pseudo-French rockers are playing with Phoenix’s the Love Me Nots this Sunday at Cake Shop? That’s right! Les Sans Culottes!
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: Hey, Holly!!
	11:37am Brendan: Flout it baby! Great !
	♥ 11:38am Greg from Bloomfield: If I had a nickel for every time I've seen Jonathan...I guess I'd probably have like 80 or 90 cents.
	11:39am Brendan: Amazingly expressive guitar, not hating on the speed metal guys, but a slow note with heart is beautiful.
	♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: This was a great set on Dan's show.
	11:44am Jeff: This Richard Youngs is sounding to me like an incanting Richard Thompson.
	11:44am northguineahills: I was just going to say the same thing, Brian.
	♥ 11:45am Brian in UK: Joe, if memory serves he played it on an organ in the FMU studio. Just got stuck in.
	♥ 11:46am Scott Williams: this Youngs session was one of the most transcendent FMU sessions I've witnessed. all done on the FMU Lowrey organ, learned in 5min
	11:46am Dean: And another Richard, Sinclair.
	♥ 11:47am 12539: (I miss the Airborne Event already, but I'm sure there will be fill-ins)
	♥ 11:47am Brian in UK: @ngh got this recently. Very good. singout.org...
	♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: Meant to say excellent sound quality too.
	11:50am Parq: Thanks for playing this Airborne track; one of my favorites from the whole bunch of my 'thon premiums for this year. (Joe, the Sonny and Terry cover of Newman is another.)
	♥ 11:51am Mike East: that reminds me- I just got around to listening to "Sunshine Day" a couple weeks ago. The whole family digs it. Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: Why thanks, Parq! I was surprised and happy to find that version. @Mike: Glad you like that one, Mike! It's a real puppy upper.
	♥ 11:52am Stevel: Really liking the Richard Youngs. Not sure why, but it feels very good right now.
	11:53am northguineahills: wooaah! Thanks Brian!
	♥ 11:54am Brian in UK: I love all Joe's premiums. (creep, creep) Just getting dark here, very appropriate sounds.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian, I do appreciate that so much. And thanks to all of you for keeping me company this morning. See you next week!
	♥ 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Mr McG.
	11:55am northguineahills: Man, deep sounds, Joe, thanks!
	11:56am Holly in NC: Thank you Joe, have a wonderful rest of your day!
	11:56am Parq: Sonny and Brownie. But you knew what I meant.
	11:56am Cecile: I'll have to listen again later, they were a little too relaxing for me.
	♥ 11:56am Sem Chumbo: Thanks, Joe. Such good spins today, as always. We are spoiled. Later!
	11:56am oks: thank you Joe!
	11:57am bobdoesthings: thanks joe!!
	♥ 11:57am common: thanks joe!
	♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: One Too Many Bootlegs?
	11:58am Claw!: Despite the Neil Young and the Bob Dylan, I will thank you for a great show and bid you adieu. Til next week, Joe!
	11:59am Cecile: hey, at least it elicits a reaction. That's a good sign.
	12:00pm Brendan: Thanks!
	1:17pm MJ: what was the ya ya ya song? about 10:30 am...
	2:04pm MJ: never mind… dev2.0

	9:18am adrian in mpls: and me? i separated from my spouse and am currently couchsurfing. a mixture of elation and crushing sadness. it's ultimately a good thing.
	♥ 9:21am Joe McG: Hi, everybody! Happy steel pans to you.
	9:21am Claw!: Damn, Adrian. I know how that can be. Hang in there. You'll find that those closest to you will come through at times like these... hugs

	9:23am adrian in mpls: Thanks Claw! And yr exactly right -- I've had some truly wonderful friends support me the last few weeks.

	♥ 9:25am Joe McG: @Brian: I'll see what I can do!
	9:26am DeaconDave: Hi Joe!
	♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: Only three months to Carnival in Trinidad. Get your masquerades ready.
	♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: Top job, Joe. What a station.
	9:29am bobdoesthings: goodmorniingnggngngngng
	9:31am adrian in mpls: Joe -- my office is only at 58 degrees, but you got me bobbing around in here and it's keeping me warm! thanks!
	♥ 9:31am Brian in UK: @adrian in mpls Thinking of you from over the water. Tough time.
	♥ 9:32am Michele: Morning Joe! Hi fellow listeners!
	9:33am V Priceless: yeah, good luck today, common!
	♥ 9:33am Marcel M: Hey Michele! Morning.
	9:33am adrian in mpls: @Brian in UK - thanks -- it's very sincerely appreciated
	9:34am the glowing one: this set reminds me of that carribean sea cruise that I swore never to make
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: Hi, Michele! :)
	♥ 9:36am 12539: Heineken Orchestra, Pan Am Steelband - is this what happens when the station doesn't meet its goal?!
	9:36am Stashu: Bless you.
	♥ 9:37am Stanley: HI Joe (stealing a naughty listen at work, as I'm the only one here) Brian - I've been contemplating your wise words.
	♥ 9:37am Joe McG: @12539: Ha ha ha! @Stashu: But I didn't sneeze! ;)
	9:37am Claw!: I like this set, but it's really driving home the point that the weather/temperature here is nowhere near Caribbean levels. And that is a total drag.
	♥ 9:38am common: thanks vp!
	9:38am PKNY: @12539 - I've also notice the unholy marriage between steel drum bands and corporate naming rights!
	9:38am Stashu: You telepathically sneezed. If we lived in a world where this kind of music would tune out politicians... and large brass and drum bands would come stand in front of T.V.s at bars. I would like that world. Is there a portal?
	9:40am thedunkel: Good Morning Steely Joe…
	♥ 9:40am Brian in UK: @the glowing one this is the mother for you. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 9:41am Brian in UK: Hey Stanley. Not sure about wise, just pragmatic.
	♥ 9:42am Brian in UK: aka Despers by the locals.
	♥ 9:45am Stevel: Stashu speaks sense.
	9:47am Robert: This sounds like some of Ken's bed music, but better.
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: @Robert: Yes, these guys ate some Neu! for breakfast before they recorded this.
	♥ 9:49am Marcel M: Agreed Robert. Quite Neu!ish.
	9:50am Kevlicki: Morning joe, Michele and everyone Looking forward to the next 6 months of thurs mornings with ya joe
	9:50am the glowing one: eins, zwei, DREI, vier eins, zwei, DREI, vier eins, zwei, DREI, vier
	♥ 9:50am Greg from Bloomfield: Hey gang! Hey Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo!
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, Kevlicki! SO happy to be here.
	9:51am adrian in mpls: wow, this is tickling all my krautrock bones
	9:51am mark: neu! and new order
	9:53am mark: that was referencing the dream police as I'm on a delay
	9:53am PKNY: @Greg - That's the worst name I ever heard.
	9:54am Kevlicki: Out of curiosity, how does a freeform station decide on it's scheduling? What kind of organizational structure does fmu have? I know it has a dictator...
	9:55am steve: hey folks
	9:56am Cecile: I believe it's based on schedule preferences, program balance, and whether or not people actually apply for a spot...LAMIN. wags finger
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: @Kevlicki: It's the enormous chad-spewing computer in the basement producing all of the logarithms.
	9:57am Cecile: aw, Adrian, so sad to hear that.
	10:00am Cecile: on a happier note, a middle-aged urban philosopher was telling his friend about the futility of life's illusions, and cited "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics as an example. Then he proceeded to sing it. Then I joined in. Then half of the bus. Then someone started dancing in their seat. Then the bus stopped and we all got off.
	10:00am adrian in mpls: @cecile - thanks for the sympathy. it's difficult...but in the end it's better for both of us
	10:01am adrian in mpls: OMG -- which bus was it?? i need to start riding that one!
	10:01am Robert: Well, Kevlicki, how would you do it? As to the dictator, Scott Williams IIRC did it about a year and a half before shucking it back off to Ken.
	10:01am steve: ill die happy if that happens once in my life, Cecile
	10:03am Cecile: It was a 10 southbound to downtown. Usually there is either dead silence or cussing over the phone, although there is a clutch of older soccer mom types who camp out in the back of the bus early on on their way to work, who are pretty hysterical.
	10:03am Robert: Hey, does this mean Kevlicki is volunteering for Program Director?
	10:03am Cecile: I eavesdrop a lot, steve, and have poor filters. I've had similar weird moments, but this is a special one.
	10:04am Cecile: also at the end, the guy's friend goes "wow, the 70s", and three of us go in unison, "80s!" hahahah
	10:05am adrian in mpls: hahahahaha -- that's too perfect
	♥ 10:05am common: great cecile!
	10:05am Jan Fallada: Was curious about those album covers: i.ebayimg.com...$(KGrHqJ,!rcE88g9cmt7BPST)So9kQ~~60_35.JPG virginvinylrecords.com... thumbs2.ebaystatic.com...
	10:06am Cecile: yeah, that did perk me up a lot.
	10:06am bobdoesthings: @joe can we hear "sweet dreams" by the eurythmics for @cecile ?? and well.. all of us..
	10:07am Cecile: that is AWESOME, Jan. the middle one is going in my inspiration file.
	10:07am Cecile: make sure you are singing along with it.
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: Thanks, Jan! I couldn't open the first one, but you've got "Souvenirs in Steel" in full-color!
	10:07am steve: the whole thing is genius. i'm usually on the nyc bus a few times a week, may have to see if i can make this happen myself. just think about how many days are brightened by such a thing,
	10:07am adrian in mpls: @Jan & Cecile - I actually grabbed that record from a free pile about a month ago!
	10:08am Jan Fallada: Oeps!? img.cdandlp.com...
	10:09am Kevlicki: Robert, Ha! It was just an honest question not a criticism
	10:09am Cecile: jan no words
	10:10am Cecile: psst, Kevlicki, if they're offering you the job, take it....!
	10:10am Cecile: no kidding, Adrian. as the kids say, jelz.
	10:11am t_J: Hi Every1 , Swag's here danke ;) - i have an offer for 3 months work away from music practice .. and well its to warmer geographic areas, i guess i'm up to it
	10:11am Cecile: where t_j?
	10:11am Kevlicki: @cecile Jeez its been impossible for me to make it over to JC to volunteer, how the hell would I make time for that much commitment
	10:11am t_J: Allgarve
	♥ 10:12am Brian in UK: @ t_J who was the guy who said YES to everything for one year? Could be you.
	10:12am Kevlicki: But I do like a job offer without having to submit anything
	♥ 10:13am Brian in UK: Portugal is getting more expensive, but where is not.
	10:13am Cecile: I have to look that up. Portugal sounds nice right about now. Kev, just have them put together calendars for you, and then just thumbs up or thumbs down them. Delegate!
	♥ 10:13am Brian in UK: @Kevlicki What about the MEDICAL?
	10:14am adrian in mpls: Ex Hex - whoo hoo!
	10:14am Cecile: these guys sound like a lady Shoes.
	♥ 10:14am Brian in UK: I Loves POP.
	10:15am Lewis: gotta love the gittar...
	10:15am Cecile: it's Mary Timony. At least she stopped channeling the Cars and Steeleye Span together.
	10:16am Cecile: that was a bad phase.
	♥ 10:17am Brian in UK: @ t_J Lisbon & Cadiz are close by. Lots of fresh fish to eat. Sounds good.
	10:19am Lewis: can you say 'the next level!" who woulda thunk it...
	10:19am Kevlicki: Melt banana did the best uncontrollable urge cover
	10:19am cheyenne_h: Have you heard the DEV2.0 version of "uncontrollable urge"? It's about snacks.
	10:19am V Priceless: nice bass geetar on this spuds cover
	10:20am adrian in mpls: @Cecile - agreed. I've always liked Timony's stuff -- but this new stuff is much better than what she was doing in the 00s. the Ex Hex show here was pretty fun!
	♥ 10:20am Brian in UK: Great morphing through this set, Joe.
	10:20am t_J: It's close where I live so .. and it's a family contact recovery hand that stretches, and even tough I was beginning to be culturally active and out band searching near the capital.. this got a good scent over it .. 4 stars hotel condo
	10:21am Stashu: Kosmicher Laufer. He is an enigma.
	10:21am Cecile: I haven't been to a show is so long.... t_j, that sounds like a good move for you.
	10:21am Kevlicki: I saw them in Austin in 2000 and everyone knew they were playing it as a cover, and expecting it. They said, this next one is a cover, everyone cheered, then they started playing that terrible lick from Lenny kravitz's song that I don't want to remember the name of. Everyone stood there stunned for a second until they broke into "yeah yeah yeah yeah..." Then it was madness
	10:21am lauren: more devo covers joe!
	10:22am t_J: and the Colder Winter Days fast forwarded I hope
	♥ 10:22am Brian in UK: More D E V O ! !
	♥ 10:23am Brian in UK: t_J That's you sorted out then.
	10:23am Claw!: I have an Uncontrollable Urge to hear some more DEVO!
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: This one's your fault, Cheyenne!
	10:24am Kevlicki: Oh dear, another episode of endless covers, yeah yeah yeah yeah..
	♥ 10:24am 12539: Uh oh, I think I have an Uncontrollable Rigby.
	10:24am t_J: And less electricity expenditure @ home, blah!
	10:24am Laura L: Round on the ends and hi in the middle!
	10:25am Cecile: I want to hear Troglodyte. ;)
	10:25am cheyenne_h: d'oh! you're welcome, everyone
	10:25am bobdoesthings: uncontrollable elanor urge rigby.
	♥ 10:25am Brian in UK: I still imagine Cadiz to have a harbour full of tall masted ships about to depart across the Atlantic for the New World.
	10:25am Claw!: Girl U Want! Mongoloid! Big Mess!
	10:25am Cecile: play chocolate city for 3 hours.
	10:26am Carmen: I still think DEV2.0 are the most Devo thing ever.
	10:26am Cecile: that might have been Kenny G's best program ever.
	10:27am conkrete: Sin34 wins
	10:27am Cecile: dear lord, a Disney tween band doing Devo?
	♥ 10:27am Brian in UK: Single File on time today?
	♥ 10:27am Sem Chumbo: Gosh darn good show so far, Joe. Top hole, top hole! Hiya, all ya sonuvaguns.
	10:28am Claw!: I remember seeing a while back that there was an all-female DEVO cover band called DEVA. Isn't that just swell??
	10:29am Cecile: I suddenly got very, very sad.
	♥ 10:30am Brian in UK: @Sem have you been at the Wodehouse Red?
	10:30am Cecile: Is top hole the same as top shelf here in the states?
	♥ 10:31am Marcel M: Gotta miss single file today :-( bye everyone!
	10:32am Holly in NC: Good Morning! SOOO bummed I missed the steel band set, but will give me something to look forward to this evening :-)
	♥ 10:32am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK, why yes, old chap. Ankled over to the libray and was ensnared by old Woody, as we intimates call him.
	10:32am Cecile: later marcel! great tune.
	♥ 10:33am Brian in UK: Little Willie John's take does me.
	10:33am PKNY: @Claw - DEVA is (was?) fronted by my friend Esther (aka Chip Fontaine of the Electric Mess). Not sure if they done any shows recently, haven't seen her in a bit.
	10:33am oks: bye bye marcel
	10:34am Brendan: Mona Lisa was so not a man. She was a tranny.
	10:34am Cecile: disco Duke!
	♥ 10:35am Brian in UK: @Brendan over here a tranny used to be short for a transistor radio, later a Ford Transit Van now, Well.
	10:35am Claw!: PKNY - Nice! I was wondering what became of them...
	♥ 10:36am Sem Chumbo: @brendan: standard or automatic?
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Sem! I love the expression "top hole"!
	♥ 10:37am Brian in UK: @Sem reverse only.
	♥ 10:38am Sem Chumbo: @Joe: I'll throw out a few more and see if they find favour wkith you. @Brian:wicked, eh, wicked.
	10:38am GeesyCreesy: Haven't heard this P5 track in forever.
	♥ 10:38am Webhamster Henry: Flashback to WFMU in the 90s!
	10:39am steve: pizzicatoooo!
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @Webmsaster: Ah, I remember fondly!
	♥ 10:44am Brian in UK: The joy of Wodehouse was that he invented expressions that seemed timeless but he had just invented.
	10:45am Cecile: when you say wubba dubba dah, then I say wubba dubba dah that's how we used to sing this song as kids.
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: @Cecile: ha ha!
	10:46am V Priceless: great piece of music
	10:47am Stashu: The orange cat I live with has a big fat belly. I bet she would like this song.
	♥ 10:47am Brian in UK: When it's Single File time in NJ it's beagle walking time in Watford.
	♥ 10:47am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK: "What Wodehouse writes," said Douglas Adams, "is pure word music. It matters not one whit that he writes endless variations on a theme of pig kidnappings, lofty butlers, and ludicrous impostures. He is the greatest musician of the English language."
	10:49am DeaconDave: I love this section of the show . . .
	10:49am Brendan: When Claudine whispers sweet nothings I get goose bumps. She is dangerous on many levels.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: You and me both, Brendan.
	♥ 10:51am Brian in UK: @Sem on a par with Dylan Thomas for his use of language. As you say, the plots were secondary to the way of writing them.
	♥ 10:52am Webhamster Henry: I heard it as Teaneck's Love.
	♥ 10:55am doctorjazz: Memphis soul, love it!
	♥ 10:56am doctorjazz: There's a jarring transition, another great single, though...
	♥ 10:57am Michele: I love this song!
	♥ 10:57am Michele: I like to dance to it with my eyes closed
	10:57am conkrete: hello college years
	10:57am oks: wfmu i melt with you...
	10:57am Claw!: Wow... didn't see this coming.
	10:58am Parq: This will never not be gorgeous.
	10:58am frenchee: aw Joe, this is a frenchee fave!
	10:58am Claw!: I like playing along to this on my drums. :)
	10:58am frenchee: WHAT PARQ said
	10:59am Cecile: This is still a great song.
	10:59am frenchee: also, perfect end credits music for VALLEY GIRL
	11:00am oks: robbie grey was so hot!
	11:00am Cecile: you know it frenchee.
	11:01am frenchee: *arguably Nic Cage's last good picture
	11:01am V Priceless: i remember seeing Mod English open for Roxy Music in '83 at Radio City.
	11:01am Parq: 1982 was such a great year for post-punk singles.
	11:03am still b/p: Dylan Thomas notebook discovered. Mum-in-law wanted to burn it. www.theguardian.com... I also followed a different link to The Guardian today to see excerpts nominated for Literary Review Bad Sex in Fiction award. I will provide that link in a plain brown wrapper if someone wants it.

	11:10am V Priceless: @ still b/p - I vote for the animus theory
	11:11am oks: can't wait for jonathan richman!! great news !!
	11:12am Dean: Late to the show here. A series of three covers of "Uncontrollable Urge," and not one by Claw Hammer?
	11:13am .Brendan: He's cute ain't he? Only problem is, he's got a little bit a Mississippi leg hound in 'im. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. You don't want him around if you're wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let 'im finish.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Dean: I hope you'll forgive me.
	11:18am Dean: @Joe: Well, grumble, grumble...oh, heck, forgiven.
	11:19am Robert: I was hoping to catch Jonathan Richman's show at Sarah Lawrence College with a friend who lives in Bronxville, but it turns out to be for the students only.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @Robert: I hope they bring their newspapers.
	11:23am conkrete: hey that's A. Escovedo. was wondering why i liked that Fauntleroys so much
	11:25am oks: jonathan richman will play at the bell house nov. 18 nov.19
	♥ 11:25am Sem Chumbo: Ever since Broken English, this woman has had a grip on me. In a very very satisfying way.
	11:26am Dean: I'm hearing an echo here of Ferron I'd never heard before.
	11:26am oks: her autobiography is awesome
	11:27am Brendan: Hey Joe , You got any Bobby Womack in there? Was doin' 110th St in the shower this mornin' - gave it a good run but couldn't do it justice, even turnin' off hot water for a high note
	11:27am Cecile: I think she's been travelling similar territory as Nick Cave with more success and less publicity. Just my opinion, though.
	11:27am Robert: I don't get the newspapers reference, Joe McG.
	11:27am Cecile: ok this string section is pure crap.
	11:28am bobdoesthings: oh boy..
	11:28am adrian in mpls: oh noooooo
	11:28am Cecile: I'm sitting this one out. Try again, Neil.
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @Brendon: Not today, unfortunately! @Robert: Oh, sorry! Back when he broke up the Modern Lovers, he did concerts where he asked people to accompany him with rolled up newspapers and stuff like that, no amplification.
	11:29am KP: This Neil sounds good. Thanks for playing it.
	♥ 11:30am Michele: God I love Neil Young.
	11:30am Robert: Thanks for the explanation, Joe McG. By the time I saw him a few yrs. ago, he was no longer doing that schtick.
	11:30am Cecile: good old Neil. Polarizing as always.
	♥ 11:32am doctorjazz: Still sounds the same, and we'll be able to hear it hi-rez on his Pono Player (which should net him a mint, judging by how the crowd source offer did)
	11:32am Robert: I wonder if he's learned any new languages since I saw him almost a decade ago.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: @Robert: He sure sings a lot in Spanish these days!
	11:34am Robert: He was doing English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Arabic then.
	11:36am Holly in NC: Ohh - clicky Kawana!
	11:37am Josh: Guess which pseudo-French rockers are playing with Phoenix’s the Love Me Nots this Sunday at Cake Shop? That’s right! Les Sans Culottes!
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: Hey, Holly!!
	11:37am Brendan: Flout it baby! Great !
	♥ 11:38am Greg from Bloomfield: If I had a nickel for every time I've seen Jonathan...I guess I'd probably have like 80 or 90 cents.
	11:39am Brendan: Amazingly expressive guitar, not hating on the speed metal guys, but a slow note with heart is beautiful.
	♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: This was a great set on Dan's show.
	11:44am Jeff: This Richard Youngs is sounding to me like an incanting Richard Thompson.
	11:44am northguineahills: I was just going to say the same thing, Brian.
	♥ 11:45am Brian in UK: Joe, if memory serves he played it on an organ in the FMU studio. Just got stuck in.

	♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: Meant to say excellent sound quality too.
	11:50am Parq: Thanks for playing this Airborne track; one of my favorites from the whole bunch of my 'thon premiums for this year. (Joe, the Sonny and Terry cover of Newman is another.)
	♥ 11:51am Mike East: that reminds me- I just got around to listening to "Sunshine Day" a couple weeks ago. The whole family digs it. Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: Why thanks, Parq! I was surprised and happy to find that version. @Mike: Glad you like that one, Mike! It's a real puppy upper.
	♥ 11:52am Stevel: Really liking the Richard Youngs. Not sure why, but it feels very good right now.
