	9:18am V Priceless: ahh..just heard some of the live '75 Eno/Fripp from Paris on the Long Rally...need to score that ASAP!
	9:19am Joe McG: We're starting gentle this morning. Caressing your head like that cat massaging that dog's head.
	9:19am Jim Price: Fripple Tronics!
	9:19am Marcel M: I agree Priceless, I'd like to purchase that also.
	9:20am Marcel M: Oh damn they didn't press a record of that? CD only? Boooo!
	9:21am Claw!: Really diggin the gentle start, Joe. It's a good way to gradually bring me to life as the caffeine kicks in.
	👻 9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: I suppose I could search the web, but was wondering if there are any scientific studies of temperature effects on record playing. More highs at lower temperature, for example. More wear of the grooves when hot, perhaps?
	9:22am Cheri Pi: I love that dog massaging cat!
	9:22am quinn: noice
	9:22am Joe McG: @Cheri: I want to get a cat that massages my head.
	9:22am V Priceless: Dog Massaging Cat = band name of the week
	9:24am Joe McG: I somebody wants to post a link to it here, I won't be offended. It would be nice to look at while you listen, actually.
	9:25am Cheri Pi: Done SOn! youtu.be...
	9:25am DCE: ask and the Pi delivers
	9:25am Joe McG: Thanks, Cheri! You are the best. :)
	9:25am pierre: and the humans too www.youtube.com...
	9:25am Cheri Pi: I was about to watch it any way :)
	9:26am V Priceless: technically, that's kneading : )
	9:26am adrian in mpls: oh my goodness - that's a lot of cuteness!
	9:27am Cheri Pi: the intermittent nibbling is the best too
	9:28am Joe McG: I love the word "kneading." Thank you, VP.
	9:28am V Priceless: yeah, me too, Joe! You're most welcome!
	9:29am Marcel M: I love how it says amazing... cat massages human (amazing) hahaha
	9:29am Brendan: Good day Joe and everybody in radio radio radio land and for the rest of you may your stream be straight this morning
	9:31am common: oh, the kitties! too much sometimes
	9:33am Stevel: Cat massage viewed, with Eco Raga as soundtrack. There will be nothing more soothing today.
	9:33am adrian in mpls: I'm just loving this first set so much
	9:34am Cheri Pi: Is there a school I can send my cat to?
	9:34am Brendan: Greetings greeting stargazers
	9:35am fleep: From the hearts of space, howdy Joe and audionauts.
	9:35am DCE: Joe is working towards a program star today
	9:36am Marcel M: My cat is a good massager, but he brings the claws out a BIT too much sometimes.
	9:36am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:41am Claw!: I preordered this John Carpenter release on Monday. Once again, you guys made me spend money I hadn't planned on. I'm stoked to get it in the mail, tho!
	9:42am Joe McG: @Claw!: I love getting records in the mail! Everybody send me some!
	9:43am pierre: I'm wondering, are those Carpenters song old and unrelised material ? or new stuff ?
	9:43am listener james from westwood: Me (across room): What is this, it sounds like John Carpenter [eyeballs playlist] [fistpumps] How do, Joe! Love it!
	👻 9:43am 12539: I woke directly into a trance, but I think I'm becoming lucid now.
	9:43am common: had the same thing happen here, listener james.
	9:44am listener james from westwood: Not that I'd ever knock a good trance.
	9:45am Joe McG: @pierre: I think new recordings of old pieces, but I'm not certain.
	9:46am quinn: oh damn they dropped all their change, i hate when that happens
	9:48am duke: This is a great set!
	9:50am Claw!: Pierre, the album is called "Lost Themes"... I hadn't heard the songs off it before, so there might be a bunch of unreleased stuff. I just ordered it because it's new to me, and because I love the man.
	9:52am Claw!: Jeez, I love that ominously synthy stuff.
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Hey Joe You Knead a Thnead.
	9:53am V Priceless: Happy 70th to Robert Wyatt (yesterday)!
	9:55am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe McG! Morning gang!
	9:55am KP: Super set, Joe
	9:55am V Priceless: Fuzzy-Felt Folk! Album title of the month!
	9:56am V Priceless: where's The Canterbury wood-elf when you need him?
	9:57am OTB: I really hope this is still in print...
	9:57am Cheri Pi: Bunny delivers beer video youtu.be...
	9:57am DCE: this can't have been put out in 2006. CANNOT.
	9:57am bobdoesthings: @cheri - but who loaded the cart?!!?
	9:58am Lewis: diggin' the reverb on the Longet number...
	9:58am DCE: our local college station used the opening snippet of this Longet tune for a station ID
	9:58am Cheri Pi: I'd say the bunny has a helper monkey.
	9:58am steve: this song is so undeniable
	9:59am Kevlicki: Great Spector song. I really enjoy Jeff Mangum's live versions of this song.
	9:59am V Priceless: @ DCE: was thinking same about that '06 release - ?
	9:59am βrian: Qu'est-ce que tu chantes là, Claudine ?
	9:59am Brendan: Claudine ohhhhh
	👻 10:00am Webhamster Henry: You really can't follow Claudine with anyone but Yoko Ono.
	10:00am Kurt Gottschalk: i want "the elf" in a loop all day.
	10:00am Cheri Pi: or black metal.
	10:00am βrian: Oh, no. Yoko.
	10:00am bobdoesthings: she's 72.
	10:01am Brendan: Hey Claudine where are you going with that gun in your hand
	10:01am βrian: Triple espresso, to be exact, Joe.
	10:01am DCE: I see.
	10:02am DCE: oh happy birthday Robert Wyatt!
	10:03am Spider Sabich: I did not love how you (allegedly) shot me, Claudine
	10:04am common: i want the bunny beer delivery service! and the elf on a loop
	10:06am Nasty Les: Probably "Ritt Durch den Hades" () for the Gulaan track.
	10:06am V Priceless: I second common's request!
	10:07am Marcel M: Geezer Butler was nabbed by the cops in a bar brawl haaaaa: ultimateclassicrock.com...
	10:08am Joe McG: Thanks, Nasty Les! I'll check the CD back. @common: Elf on a Loop sounds like Ronnie James Dio on a rollercoaster.
	10:08am DCE: I dunno, I disagree with Cissy. Afternoon delight.
	10:08am adrian in mpls: sing it, Cissy
	10:08am Cecile: I remember a review of this record from Stereo Review. It was from the florid, and sometime clueless Peter Reilly. He said something like "this song makes me think of a sassy belle walking into the club on the arm of a butter-and-egg man from Topeka."
	10:08am common: @joe: hee hee! excellent!
	10:09am βrian: Will that be delivered in a pink Volvo? I'm in.
	10:09am Cecile: or something like this.
	10:09am Sem Chumbo: I gotta say Houston does not have a problem. Mornin' Joe, and McGees.
	10:09am common: absolutely, Brian!
	10:10am Polyus: @Marcel - co-worker just told me about that. Don't mess with the Geezer.
	10:10am Cecile: DIO. Just had to say that.
	10:10am PKNY: Props to Cissy to keepin' it this funky in 1977. Is the rest of the record laden with disco, or more stuff like this?
	10:11am βrian: I always wondered whether it's a more formidable task to write music reviews or to read them. I've never been up to either.
	10:11am Brendan: Some say Why wait til the middle of a cold dark night afternoon delight whilst other scholars maintain the night time is the right time ...i concur with all of these religions
	10:12am Cecile: I'm not sure. I suspect there's more than a dollop of disco in there, as it was '77. I did both. At this point I'm content to just listen to a record and make my own decision, although rating sites do help me.
	10:12am dale: this reminds me - didn't mj steal 'thriller' from a mexican dude who sent it to him in the 70s?
	10:12am Claw!: Yay! Here comes the boogie/disco!
	10:12am pierre: THIS. IS AMAZING.
	10:13am Cecile: Anyway, what I do want now is one of these Gap Band suits: www.youtube.com...
	10:15am Claw!: Speaking of Gap Band... Damn, Cecile. You got me telling everyone who will listen about that Bruno Mars jam.
	10:16am Cecile: Although, you know, the record of all the Gap Band hit 12"s I sold is way better than the greatest hits I bought recently. a 5-song wonder band. That is because it is the jam, #1 song or not.
	10:17am Cecile: you know a shoot is fun when the backup singers are mouthing the words while the lead singer is singing.
	10:18am Cecile: oh, here it is again cause Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars aren't rich enough already: www.youtube.com...
	10:19am Claw!: Dude... I have that Gap Band 12" collection LP and I LOVE it. I'm kinda surprised you sold it!
	10:19am bobdoesthings: I thought this was Flight of the Conchords for a second...
	10:20am Joe McG: @bob: That's hilarious! I can picture it!
	10:21am steve: joe's breakin out the 808! love it
	10:21am βrian: Thrice boom.
	10:22am Cecile: Claw! I needed beer money and to pay a friend for a shipment of...Australian 45s.
	10:22am Cecile: Trio love!
	10:22am Cheri Pi: BOOMBOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cecile!
	10:22am Claw!: I see what you're doing, Joe. And I like it.
	10:22am V Priceless: Boom Boom! Ha - Great
	10:22am Lewis: I be smiling!
	10:22am Jeff: Yes!
	10:22am βrian: Boom countdown.
	10:23am DCE: sometimes I think it would be nice to write a stupid/silly three chord earworm and make some money
	10:23am Cecile: PI!!!
	10:23am paula pc: when do we get the Black Eyed Peas
	10:24am Cecile: DCE - I want to write a dance jam that will be played at sporting events. I want that Technotronic money.
	👻 10:24am Brian in UK: Was it Peter Garbriel on Solsbury Hill 'I hear my heart going Boom, Boom, Boom'
	10:24am Cheri Pi: C$ what's your take on the MPR/Barb scandal?
	10:25am SeanG: just keep playing this forever
	10:25am βrian: In French, its "poum."
	10:25am tikk: Boom boom in my head for the rest of the day. Not complaining. Thanks Joe!
	10:26am bobdoesthings: I was hoping this next song would just be "boom" to close out the boom boom boom suite
	10:27am Jeff: @bob-etc: but is there such a song?
	10:27am steve: how bout some Sonic Boom
	10:28am βrian: Bambam is listening.
	10:28am Cecile: I am no fan of the Current, but the midday show was OK. They are as formatted as any commercial station, even though they tend to support less popular music. It sounds like a lot of people thought she was good. I dunno, I just think the Current is boring.
	10:28am bobdoesthings: @jeff - there's GOTTA be..
	10:28am Dominick: Classic episode from "Car 54, Where Are You" www.youtube.com...
	10:30am Cecile: Also, MPR has been weeding off some of its homier, less slick talent. They fired a really popular morning show that played a lot of quirky folk about 5 years ago, people are still mad about that.
	10:30am Lewis: @Cecile - have to agree wrt the Current...
	10:30am Cecile: Maybe they are trying to smooth down the edges so they can start "consulting" on their format to other stations.
	10:30am Greg from Bloomfield: Aw, this woulda been PERFECT: www.youtube.com...
	10:31am tiago: saiba ser feliz means 'know how to be happy'
	10:31am Cecile: hahahahhaha, greg, perfect.
	10:31am Cecile: Oh my god, I remember this.
	10:32am steve: haha
	10:32am Claw!: MECO!!!!!!!!
	10:32am Cheri Pi: That sounds about right C$. While they grapple with all of that we'll be right here.
	10:32am OTB: Oh dear god.
	10:32am Joe McG: @tiago: Thanks so much!
	10:32am Claw!: I love you, Joe.
	10:32am common: hee hee...meco
	10:32am Sem Chumbo: I worked in AM hell during this period. Thanks for the memories, Joe. I think I am melting.
	10:32am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Oh my God. Where did I put my roller skates???
	10:32am adrian in mpls: @Cecile - feel the same way about Current/MPR
	10:32am βrian: I recall when WUOM went to an all-talk format, which was really an all-ad format. They made a lot of money and filled the airwaves with schmutz.
	10:32am bobdoesthings: @greg - oh god... I can't believe I didn't think of that.. I'm glad Joe didn't though
	👻 10:32am Webhamster Henry: Hooked On Classics! Disco Duck!
	10:32am probablyjohn: or learn to be happy, right? The Current is garbage, but by no fault (nor merit) of the DJs.
	10:33am DCE: becuz becuz becuz!
	10:33am PKNY: Easin' on down the road with Meco!
	10:33am tikk: Wizard of Oz night at the Mos Eisley Cantina!
	10:34am dale: oh. my. god!
	10:34am Joe McG: We were talking about birthdays and this week was the birthday of the last surviving munchkin. I think he's in his 90s.
	10:34am Cecile: No, it's Mark Wheat and Mary Lucia's lousy taste.
	10:34am Dominick: good gravy!
	10:34am Greg from Bloomfield: A wretched hive of scum and HILARITY!
	10:34am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Louis CK does a really funny skit/imression about Ray Bolger from the Wizard of Oz. Wish I could sample it.
	10:35am Cecile: sorry, that was mean, but despite some overlap with my taste, they manage to make good stuff boring.
	10:35am Cecile: but as I tell my friends who are Current fans, I am most definitely not their target market.
	10:36am Cecile: Jennique, can you link to it?
	10:36am Lounge Singer Nick Winters: Great 70 s disco cover of the wiz Joe - you know Oz never did give nothing to the tin man that he didn't already have. Say ... here's a ditty. This one comes that big hit out of '77. Hit it! Oh Star Wars, Nothing but Star Wars, Give me those Star Wars, Dont let them end. Oh Star Wars, If they should bar wars, Please let these Star Wars Stay. And hey, how 'bout that nutty Star Wars Bar, Can you forget all those crazy creatures in there? And hey, Darth Vader in his black and evil mask, Did he scare you as much as he scared me? Oh Star Wars, Those near and far wars, Oh STAAAR WAAAAAAARS!"
	10:37am V Priceless: Bonzos!!!!!
	10:37am Polyus: People from outside the Twin Cities area would be stunned to see how much sway MPR seems to have over the popular culture.
	10:37am dale: automated rock station i listened to in the 70's always backed up meco's star wars theme with that steve miller song with the 'pew pew' laser gun sounds - what was that?
	10:37am Sem Chumbo: Perfect.
	10:38am Dominick: Best guitar solo ..... ever!
	10:38am Cecile: YAYAYAYAY! Oh, hey, Pi, just got my Rush pre-sale notice. Thought you wanted to know. Polyus - exactly!!
	10:38am Joe McG: Nice song, Nick Winters! @Dominick: I agree!
	10:38am Lewis: I love this guitar solo!
	10:38am Cecile: "frying pan, frying pan"
	10:39am Sem Chumbo: Sweet essence of giraffe. Well, what's new there?
	10:39am V Priceless: god, how brilliant were these guys? Viv - RIP - miss ya big-time!
	10:39am Stevel: Pretty sure BDDDB is still ahead of their time.
	10:40am Mugsy: This is good - ventricles
	10:40am Lewis: Well that one brought the Bonzo fans out of the woodwork!
	👻 10:41am Webhamster Henry: What's on the B-side of Canyons Of Your Mind?
	10:41am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Cecile - you can try to do a google search. I just went to the Louis CK site and paid $5 to watch his latest standup, which is where I found it. Funny stuff if you like Louis CK.
	10:42am Claw!: Nice to hear Mr. Gordon. He's a local guy 'round these parts. :)
	10:42am Cecile: You know, I don't know him that well. I hear bits I like, but I just have not made time for him.
	10:42am Joe McG: @Web Henry: Actually, that IS the B-side. The A is "I'm an Urban Spaceman."
	10:42am bobdoesthings: @jennique - i was a bit bummed by his newest one.. I'm a big fan of louie but this last one seemed a bit too lewd for the sake of it and sorta bored me..
	10:43am Cheri Pi: LOL. B23 hipped me to this, apaprently Neil Peart is hocking a limited edition snare drum made from the wood of Noah's ark: www.facebook.com...
	10:44am Stevel: Ooh, Lone Justice! Never minded the Cow Punk phase. Beat Farmers and especially Jason and the Scorchers.
	10:44am Cecile: hahahahahaha
	10:44am nickybones: @bobdoesthings i saw that show live and had sort of the same feeling -- though, some bits did have me in tears, still.
	10:44am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @bobdoesthings - Yes! Me too! I was not so thrilled with this latest installment. Parts of it were okay, but not as good as earlier ones.
	10:45am Cecile: Jason and the scorchers were ridiculously good live. Records never did em justice
	10:46am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Whenever I hear Maria McKee's voice, I think of that video she did with Robbie Robertson. Can't get that image out of my head.
	10:47am Cecile: you know Glen Campbell and Anne Murray do a gorgeous version of this. Seriously
	10:47am Joe McG: @Cecile: I'd say the same about Lone Justice! @Jennique: I don't think I've seen that. Is it embarrassing?
	10:48am Stevel: Wish I'd seen J&TS. I heard White Lies on the radio (remarkably) as I moved from Wisconsin to Colorado. It stuck in my head until I tracked it down two years later. (No Ebay in 1985 kids!)
	10:48am fleep: Rock out, Charley.
	10:49am Stevel: ...and Cathy Jean is exactly my sister's name. Who knew? Hidden talents!
	10:49am fredr: Ah Sylvia! Haven't heard this in many years.
	10:50am bobdoesthings: @nickybones/Jennique - do either of you know who he had as the opener on the special - the ragged/gnarly dude with dreads who read his jokes off a sheet? I enjoyed him almost more.. haha
	10:50am dale: i this album, has some really nice pastoral stuff on it too.
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: Dag nabbit, i missed my lord & savior Viv Stanshall...
	10:50am Cecile: REV
	10:51am Cheri Pi: PAPS
	10:51am Rev. Turnip Druid: 'ceese!
	10:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: pah! joe! y'all!
	10:53am Cecile: this lady should talk to Charlene. Just sayin.
	10:54am Brendan: Must... focus... Ahh f#% it screw work
	10:56am Cecile: this intro is gold.
	10:56am common: ludes?
	10:56am OTB: I forget the story here...they hired a bum to introduce the show?
	10:56am Parq: Hah, the live Bodi, with the extended intro. I put this up on a jukebox once while out with work friends. Boy, did I get looks.
	10:56am fleep: Likkered up fo sho
	10:56am Dominick: Priceless!
	10:56am Cheri Pi: Th' Dan!
	10:56am tiago: @probablyjohn: yes, you're absolutely right
	10:57am nickybones: @bobdoesthings i forget, but i liked him, too. some stuff was great.
	10:57am Joe McG: Steely Dan and whatever...!
	10:57am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @bobdoesthings - I don't know who that opening comic was, but I agree, he was pretty great. @joe - Here's the link to the video. Be sure to watch it all the way through. Kinda cringe worthy. www.vevo.com...
	10:57am Polyus: @OTB - He was their truck driver. I just looked that up myself.
	10:57am common: mr. steely dan and whatever!!! hee hee hee!
	10:58am OTB: @polyus - thanks! Doesn't sound like he should have been driving....
	10:58am Cecile: this is a pretty smokin' version of this song.
	10:58am Parq: Who was that guy doing the intro? Does anyone know?
	10:58am Cecile: they are so rich, their driver has a driver.
	10:59am Dominick: Sure as hell is Cecile
	10:59am V Priceless: woo!
	10:59am rsj: it looses it's cozy lounge feel live
	11:00am Polyus: At first I assumed it was a plastered DJ from the local FM rock station.
	11:00am bobdoesthings: @jennique/nickybones - argh! It's on Louis's site who it is -- "The opening act, who is seen at the beginning (good place for an opening act) is Jay London."
	11:00am Mugsy: Would've been interesting to have hears Steely Dan with John McLaughlin.
	11:00am V Priceless: Joe! thanks for this much-needed fire!
	11:00am Andy the painter: they put this out as a single? bold!
	11:00am βrian: Hey, where's that last syllable?
	11:01am Parq: Ah. Sorry, I didn't see the above comments about their driver.
	11:01am OTB: Man, these guys used to throw down....
	11:01am Cecile: shit, this guitar solo is IT
	11:01am Parq: Andy, it was the B side to the 45 of "Hey Nineteen".
	11:02am rsj: definitely changing my heroin soaked concept of the dan
	11:02am Cecile: hahhaha, vintage Steely Dan headline: "Aerosmith Thrilled, Steely Dan Unimpressed At Rock Hall Ceremony"
	11:03am Cecile: I always thought they were more boozers who did the occasional bit of coke.
	11:03am Polyus: I just clicky-starred the Dan. Never knew I had it in me.
	11:04am rsj: guess that's just personal connotation, not that i was into it
	11:05am Cecile: well, they did name themselves after a book written by a junkie.
	11:06am Mike East: good morning internet and radio pals.
	11:07am βrian: Not the book itself, though. Call it a literary aid.
	11:08am Parq: On that Bonzos 45, how many B sides can you name that start with the words "This is the B side"?
	11:09am Cecile: His record with Steve Lacy is more listenable than most. And I like Derek Bailey
	11:10am Cecile: Just be in the moment when you listen. Dude lived in the moment.
	11:10am the Canterbury wood-elf: Hey people. Just checked in, now kicking myself for what i've missed - Durutti Column! Fripp! Wyatt! (happy 70th bday yesterday RW)...even a song about an elf...
	11:12am Brendan: Meco was from... Wait for it ... Pennsylvania!
	11:12am Cecile: Yeah! Ross Wilson from Daddy Cool produced a couple of Skyhooks albums.
	11:13am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha! He's my homeboy!
	11:13am Cecile: And Shirley modeled more than a little of his singing after Ross's I'm told
	11:14am Joe McG: "Eagle Rock" actually has a great, real video on youtube from the day...
	11:15am Cecile: that's cool, I gotta check it out.
	11:16am Donna U: My son and I know about Eagle Rock from a Wiggles DVD. Ross Wilson appeared on one of their Christmas specials, if I recall correctly...
	11:17am Cecile: donna, that's awesome!
	11:17am Cecile: early T-bone burnette
	11:17am Brendan: Eagle Rock sounds like something you could throw down a couple or ten Fosters to...
	11:19am Cecile: Toohey's.
	11:19am Cecile: I don't know how Foster's is seen now, but it wasn't held in real high esteem back in the dya.
	11:20am Cecile: day
	11:20am V Priceless: about time, Canterbury w-e - you missed your theme song!
	11:21am Bronwyn Bishop: It's always a good day when I hear Nez on the radio!
	11:21am βrian: Foster's was "Oil-can chic."
	11:21am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: His mom invented White-Out.
	11:21am Brendan: Cecile .. Even better. Once their offspring are weaned kangaroos fill their pouches with ice and beer and go bar hopping and mate , mate.
	11:22am Cecile: it's weird, but I can tell Mike Nesmith's singing in three notes.
	11:23am βrian: Makes me want to wear a knit cap indoors ...
	11:25am Mike Noble: So glad the Paperhead's gettin some play!
	11:28am Joe McG: I like your avatar, Mike!
	11:28am V Priceless: YAY KINKS! Great show, JM!
	11:29am Mike Noble: @Joe: thanks! I put my new privileges to immediate use.
	11:29am Brendan: Nobody rocked a beanie and sideburns like Mike. One of my childhood 'cool' icons. There was a Monkees 45 on the back of a cereal box that you could cut out and play. I think it was Honeycomb cereal.
	11:30am Cecile: Peter Perrett?
	11:30am Planet Tyler: Peter Perrett!
	11:31am Joe McG: @Cecile: Talk about unmistakable voices!
	11:32am paula pc: please tell me Peter Perrett is still alive -- this is worrying me
	11:33am paula pc: that said, this Peel Sessions record (and this track) is one of my favorite things he/they ever did
	11:34am Joe McG: @PPC: As far as I know, and against all odds, PP is still kickin'!
	11:34am Cecile: you know it!
	11:37am Planet Tyler: The England's Glory LP is really great if ya can get it - recommended. The Lou Reed comparisons work a little better with that stuff but I still don't see how one could mistake PP for LR.
	11:38am Joe McG: I need to find it, P.T.!
	11:38am Carmichael: Hi Joe and devotees.
	11:38am Cecile: I agree. PP sings more at the back of the throat, both raspy and nasal.
	11:39am Sem Chumbo: Kickin' it hard this set, Joe. Happy, happy, happy.
	11:40am Cecile: I have an Andy Kirk record which is a delight. It has Sister Rosetta Tharpe on it.
	11:42am Planet Tyler: I'm sure you can find it Joe, but if you don't let me know :)
	11:42am DCE: enjoying the old-timey gtr stuff
	11:42am Brendan: The guitar blues in this set are killin it.
	11:43am DCE: "travis-pickin'"
	11:43am Cecile: ITA Tyler, I think it has been reissued at least once now that I think about it.
	11:43am Joe McG: Thanks, P.T., will do!
	11:45am Planet Tyler: @Cecile - it definitely was once. I have it on vinyl but I think I had it on CD too at one point (the days of having the same record on both!) And btw, there was a book written about PP too, called, of course, The One and Only
	👻 11:45am Brian in UK: If memory serves, Englands Glory was a brand of matches. I love the fact that so many across the water love the Bonzoes. Hello to all six of you.
	11:45am Bronwyn Bishop: Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly, I'll fly away...
	11:47am Joe McG: @BB: Ah yes, we'll all take wing one day!
	11:48am OTB: I feel all sanctified now. In a good way.
	11:49am Carmichael: Brian, hello from Jollity Farm.
	11:50am Bronwyn Bishop: All the little pigs they grunt and howl, the cats meow, the dogs bow-wow, everybody makes a row down on Jollity Farm!
	11:51am bobdoesthings: damn these old work songs always get me.. something very silencing about them
	11:51am V Priceless: Shades of 'Sinners Crossroads'! Great show, Joe! Thank-you!
	11:51am dennis diken: yet another wonderful show Joe!
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Grunt, Howl, Grunt, Howl.
	11:52am Mike East: is it possible I heard this on a Joe Frank episode?
	11:52am Sem Chumbo: @BrianinUK:“It may be rubbish - but by golly it’s British rubbish!” And that's good enough for a wild colonial boy.
	11:53am Brendan: Who played the stapler on that last song?
	👻 11:54am Brian in UK: @Sem those words are as true today as when they were first written last week. By the by, Uncle Mac sends his vest or was it best to you, emailed him the other day.
	11:55am Greg from Bloomfield: Joe was gospel before you were gospel (PS I'm wearing that shirt right now...)
	11:55am oks: really enjoying your show :)) Thank you Joe!!
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks, dennis, oks, and everyone for listening and commenting! I hope you all have a great week! See you next time...
	👻 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: If I ever had an FMU show I would paraphrase Sir Henry of Rawlinson End and call it 'I Don't Know What I Want But I Want It Now'.
	11:57am Sem Chumbo: That's great, BiUK, much appreciated.
	11:58am DCE: see ya Joe!
	11:58am bobdoesthings: Thanks Joe! another great show, see ya nextweek!
	11:58am βrian: Time to get busy, and do nothing: wfmu.org...
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: Another rib tickler from good ole Hank . Nice one Joe.
	11:58am Claw!: Thanks for the tunes, Joe. You're my hero.
	12:00pm Brendan: Joe ! See you!

	9:20am Marcel M: Oh damn they didn't press a record of that? CD only? Boooo!
	9:21am Claw!: Really diggin the gentle start, Joe. It's a good way to gradually bring me to life as the caffeine kicks in.
	👻 9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: I suppose I could search the web, but was wondering if there are any scientific studies of temperature effects on record playing. More highs at lower temperature, for example. More wear of the grooves when hot, perhaps?
	9:22am Cheri Pi: I love that dog massaging cat!
	9:22am quinn: noice
	9:22am Joe McG: @Cheri: I want to get a cat that massages my head.
	9:22am V Priceless: Dog Massaging Cat = band name of the week
	9:24am Joe McG: I somebody wants to post a link to it here, I won't be offended. It would be nice to look at while you listen, actually.

	9:25am pierre: and the humans too www.youtube.com...
	9:25am Cheri Pi: I was about to watch it any way :)
	9:26am V Priceless: technically, that's kneading : )
	9:26am adrian in mpls: oh my goodness - that's a lot of cuteness!
	9:27am Cheri Pi: the intermittent nibbling is the best too
	9:28am Joe McG: I love the word "kneading." Thank you, VP.
	9:28am V Priceless: yeah, me too, Joe! You're most welcome!
	9:29am Marcel M: I love how it says amazing... cat massages human (amazing) hahaha
	9:29am Brendan: Good day Joe and everybody in radio radio radio land and for the rest of you may your stream be straight this morning
	9:31am common: oh, the kitties! too much sometimes
	9:33am Stevel: Cat massage viewed, with Eco Raga as soundtrack. There will be nothing more soothing today.

	9:34am Cheri Pi: Is there a school I can send my cat to?
	9:34am Brendan: Greetings greeting stargazers
	9:35am fleep: From the hearts of space, howdy Joe and audionauts.
	9:35am DCE: Joe is working towards a program star today
	9:36am Marcel M: My cat is a good massager, but he brings the claws out a BIT too much sometimes.
	9:36am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:41am Claw!: I preordered this John Carpenter release on Monday. Once again, you guys made me spend money I hadn't planned on. I'm stoked to get it in the mail, tho!
	9:42am Joe McG: @Claw!: I love getting records in the mail! Everybody send me some!
	9:43am pierre: I'm wondering, are those Carpenters song old and unrelised material ? or new stuff ?
	9:43am listener james from westwood: Me (across room): What is this, it sounds like John Carpenter [eyeballs playlist] [fistpumps] How do, Joe! Love it!
	👻 9:43am 12539: I woke directly into a trance, but I think I'm becoming lucid now.
	9:43am common: had the same thing happen here, listener james.
	9:44am listener james from westwood: Not that I'd ever knock a good trance.
	9:45am Joe McG: @pierre: I think new recordings of old pieces, but I'm not certain.
	9:46am quinn: oh damn they dropped all their change, i hate when that happens
	9:48am duke: This is a great set!
	9:50am Claw!: Pierre, the album is called "Lost Themes"... I hadn't heard the songs off it before, so there might be a bunch of unreleased stuff. I just ordered it because it's new to me, and because I love the man.
	9:52am Claw!: Jeez, I love that ominously synthy stuff.
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Hey Joe You Knead a Thnead.
	9:53am V Priceless: Happy 70th to Robert Wyatt (yesterday)!
	9:55am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe McG! Morning gang!

	9:55am V Priceless: Fuzzy-Felt Folk! Album title of the month!
	9:56am V Priceless: where's The Canterbury wood-elf when you need him?
	9:57am OTB: I really hope this is still in print...
	9:57am Cheri Pi: Bunny delivers beer video youtu.be...
	9:57am DCE: this can't have been put out in 2006. CANNOT.
	9:57am bobdoesthings: @cheri - but who loaded the cart?!!?
	9:58am Lewis: diggin' the reverb on the Longet number...
	9:58am DCE: our local college station used the opening snippet of this Longet tune for a station ID
	9:58am Cheri Pi: I'd say the bunny has a helper monkey.
	9:58am steve: this song is so undeniable
	9:59am Kevlicki: Great Spector song. I really enjoy Jeff Mangum's live versions of this song.
	9:59am V Priceless: @ DCE: was thinking same about that '06 release - ?
	9:59am βrian: Qu'est-ce que tu chantes là, Claudine ?
	9:59am Brendan: Claudine ohhhhh
	👻 10:00am Webhamster Henry: You really can't follow Claudine with anyone but Yoko Ono.
	10:00am Kurt Gottschalk: i want "the elf" in a loop all day.
	10:00am Cheri Pi: or black metal.
	10:00am βrian: Oh, no. Yoko.
	10:00am bobdoesthings: she's 72.
	10:01am Brendan: Hey Claudine where are you going with that gun in your hand
	10:01am βrian: Triple espresso, to be exact, Joe.
	10:01am DCE: I see.
	10:02am DCE: oh happy birthday Robert Wyatt!
	10:03am Spider Sabich: I did not love how you (allegedly) shot me, Claudine
	10:04am common: i want the bunny beer delivery service! and the elf on a loop
	10:06am Nasty Les: Probably "Ritt Durch den Hades" () for the Gulaan track.
	10:06am V Priceless: I second common's request!
	10:07am Marcel M: Geezer Butler was nabbed by the cops in a bar brawl haaaaa: ultimateclassicrock.com...
	10:08am Joe McG: Thanks, Nasty Les! I'll check the CD back. @common: Elf on a Loop sounds like Ronnie James Dio on a rollercoaster.
	10:08am DCE: I dunno, I disagree with Cissy. Afternoon delight.
	10:08am adrian in mpls: sing it, Cissy
	10:08am Cecile: I remember a review of this record from Stereo Review. It was from the florid, and sometime clueless Peter Reilly. He said something like "this song makes me think of a sassy belle walking into the club on the arm of a butter-and-egg man from Topeka."
	10:08am common: @joe: hee hee! excellent!
	10:09am βrian: Will that be delivered in a pink Volvo? I'm in.
	10:09am Cecile: or something like this.
	10:09am Sem Chumbo: I gotta say Houston does not have a problem. Mornin' Joe, and McGees.
	10:09am common: absolutely, Brian!
	10:10am Polyus: @Marcel - co-worker just told me about that. Don't mess with the Geezer.
	10:10am Cecile: DIO. Just had to say that.
	10:10am PKNY: Props to Cissy to keepin' it this funky in 1977. Is the rest of the record laden with disco, or more stuff like this?
	10:11am βrian: I always wondered whether it's a more formidable task to write music reviews or to read them. I've never been up to either.
	10:11am Brendan: Some say Why wait til the middle of a cold dark night afternoon delight whilst other scholars maintain the night time is the right time ...i concur with all of these religions
	10:12am Cecile: I'm not sure. I suspect there's more than a dollop of disco in there, as it was '77. I did both. At this point I'm content to just listen to a record and make my own decision, although rating sites do help me.
	10:12am dale: this reminds me - didn't mj steal 'thriller' from a mexican dude who sent it to him in the 70s?
	10:12am Claw!: Yay! Here comes the boogie/disco!
	10:12am pierre: THIS. IS AMAZING.
	10:13am Cecile: Anyway, what I do want now is one of these Gap Band suits: www.youtube.com...
	10:15am Claw!: Speaking of Gap Band... Damn, Cecile. You got me telling everyone who will listen about that Bruno Mars jam.
	10:16am Cecile: Although, you know, the record of all the Gap Band hit 12"s I sold is way better than the greatest hits I bought recently. a 5-song wonder band. That is because it is the jam, #1 song or not.
	10:17am Cecile: you know a shoot is fun when the backup singers are mouthing the words while the lead singer is singing.
	10:18am Cecile: oh, here it is again cause Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars aren't rich enough already: www.youtube.com...
	10:19am Claw!: Dude... I have that Gap Band 12" collection LP and I LOVE it. I'm kinda surprised you sold it!
	10:19am bobdoesthings: I thought this was Flight of the Conchords for a second...
	10:20am Joe McG: @bob: That's hilarious! I can picture it!
	10:21am steve: joe's breakin out the 808! love it
	10:21am βrian: Thrice boom.
	10:22am Cecile: Claw! I needed beer money and to pay a friend for a shipment of...Australian 45s.
	10:22am Cecile: Trio love!
	10:22am Cheri Pi: BOOMBOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cecile!
	10:22am Claw!: I see what you're doing, Joe. And I like it.
	10:22am V Priceless: Boom Boom! Ha - Great
	10:22am Lewis: I be smiling!
	10:22am Jeff: Yes!
	10:22am βrian: Boom countdown.
	10:23am DCE: sometimes I think it would be nice to write a stupid/silly three chord earworm and make some money
	10:23am Cecile: PI!!!
	10:23am paula pc: when do we get the Black Eyed Peas
	10:24am Cecile: DCE - I want to write a dance jam that will be played at sporting events. I want that Technotronic money.
	👻 10:24am Brian in UK: Was it Peter Garbriel on Solsbury Hill 'I hear my heart going Boom, Boom, Boom'
	10:24am Cheri Pi: C$ what's your take on the MPR/Barb scandal?
	10:25am SeanG: just keep playing this forever
	10:25am βrian: In French, its "poum."
	10:25am tikk: Boom boom in my head for the rest of the day. Not complaining. Thanks Joe!
	10:26am bobdoesthings: I was hoping this next song would just be "boom" to close out the boom boom boom suite
	10:27am Jeff: @bob-etc: but is there such a song?
	10:27am steve: how bout some Sonic Boom
	10:28am βrian: Bambam is listening.
	10:28am Cecile: I am no fan of the Current, but the midday show was OK. They are as formatted as any commercial station, even though they tend to support less popular music. It sounds like a lot of people thought she was good. I dunno, I just think the Current is boring.
	10:28am bobdoesthings: @jeff - there's GOTTA be..
	10:28am Dominick: Classic episode from "Car 54, Where Are You" www.youtube.com...
	10:30am Cecile: Also, MPR has been weeding off some of its homier, less slick talent. They fired a really popular morning show that played a lot of quirky folk about 5 years ago, people are still mad about that.
	10:30am Lewis: @Cecile - have to agree wrt the Current...
	10:30am Cecile: Maybe they are trying to smooth down the edges so they can start "consulting" on their format to other stations.
	10:30am Greg from Bloomfield: Aw, this woulda been PERFECT: www.youtube.com...
	10:31am tiago: saiba ser feliz means 'know how to be happy'
	10:31am Cecile: hahahahhaha, greg, perfect.
	10:31am Cecile: Oh my god, I remember this.
	10:32am steve: haha
	10:32am Claw!: MECO!!!!!!!!
	10:32am Cheri Pi: That sounds about right C$. While they grapple with all of that we'll be right here.
	10:32am OTB: Oh dear god.
	10:32am Joe McG: @tiago: Thanks so much!
	10:32am Claw!: I love you, Joe.
	10:32am common: hee hee...meco
	10:32am Sem Chumbo: I worked in AM hell during this period. Thanks for the memories, Joe. I think I am melting.
	10:32am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Oh my God. Where did I put my roller skates???
	10:32am adrian in mpls: @Cecile - feel the same way about Current/MPR
	10:32am βrian: I recall when WUOM went to an all-talk format, which was really an all-ad format. They made a lot of money and filled the airwaves with schmutz.
	10:32am bobdoesthings: @greg - oh god... I can't believe I didn't think of that.. I'm glad Joe didn't though
	👻 10:32am Webhamster Henry: Hooked On Classics! Disco Duck!
	10:32am probablyjohn: or learn to be happy, right? The Current is garbage, but by no fault (nor merit) of the DJs.
	10:33am DCE: becuz becuz becuz!
	10:33am PKNY: Easin' on down the road with Meco!
	10:33am tikk: Wizard of Oz night at the Mos Eisley Cantina!
	10:34am dale: oh. my. god!
	10:34am Joe McG: We were talking about birthdays and this week was the birthday of the last surviving munchkin. I think he's in his 90s.
	10:34am Cecile: No, it's Mark Wheat and Mary Lucia's lousy taste.
	10:34am Dominick: good gravy!
	10:34am Greg from Bloomfield: A wretched hive of scum and HILARITY!
	10:34am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Louis CK does a really funny skit/imression about Ray Bolger from the Wizard of Oz. Wish I could sample it.
	10:35am Cecile: sorry, that was mean, but despite some overlap with my taste, they manage to make good stuff boring.
	10:35am Cecile: but as I tell my friends who are Current fans, I am most definitely not their target market.
	10:36am Cecile: Jennique, can you link to it?
	10:36am Lounge Singer Nick Winters: Great 70 s disco cover of the wiz Joe - you know Oz never did give nothing to the tin man that he didn't already have. Say ... here's a ditty. This one comes that big hit out of '77. Hit it! Oh Star Wars, Nothing but Star Wars, Give me those Star Wars, Dont let them end. Oh Star Wars, If they should bar wars, Please let these Star Wars Stay. And hey, how 'bout that nutty Star Wars Bar, Can you forget all those crazy creatures in there? And hey, Darth Vader in his black and evil mask, Did he scare you as much as he scared me? Oh Star Wars, Those near and far wars, Oh STAAAR WAAAAAAARS!"
	10:37am V Priceless: Bonzos!!!!!
	10:37am Polyus: People from outside the Twin Cities area would be stunned to see how much sway MPR seems to have over the popular culture.
	10:37am dale: automated rock station i listened to in the 70's always backed up meco's star wars theme with that steve miller song with the 'pew pew' laser gun sounds - what was that?
	10:37am Sem Chumbo: Perfect.
	10:38am Dominick: Best guitar solo ..... ever!
	10:38am Cecile: YAYAYAYAY! Oh, hey, Pi, just got my Rush pre-sale notice. Thought you wanted to know. Polyus - exactly!!
	10:38am Joe McG: Nice song, Nick Winters! @Dominick: I agree!
	10:38am Lewis: I love this guitar solo!
	10:38am Cecile: "frying pan, frying pan"
	10:39am Sem Chumbo: Sweet essence of giraffe. Well, what's new there?
	10:39am V Priceless: god, how brilliant were these guys? Viv - RIP - miss ya big-time!
	10:39am Stevel: Pretty sure BDDDB is still ahead of their time.
	10:40am Mugsy: This is good - ventricles
	10:40am Lewis: Well that one brought the Bonzo fans out of the woodwork!
	👻 10:41am Webhamster Henry: What's on the B-side of Canyons Of Your Mind?
	10:41am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Cecile - you can try to do a google search. I just went to the Louis CK site and paid $5 to watch his latest standup, which is where I found it. Funny stuff if you like Louis CK.
	10:42am Claw!: Nice to hear Mr. Gordon. He's a local guy 'round these parts. :)
	10:42am Cecile: You know, I don't know him that well. I hear bits I like, but I just have not made time for him.
	10:42am Joe McG: @Web Henry: Actually, that IS the B-side. The A is "I'm an Urban Spaceman."
	10:42am bobdoesthings: @jennique - i was a bit bummed by his newest one.. I'm a big fan of louie but this last one seemed a bit too lewd for the sake of it and sorta bored me..
	10:43am Cheri Pi: LOL. B23 hipped me to this, apaprently Neil Peart is hocking a limited edition snare drum made from the wood of Noah's ark: www.facebook.com...
	10:44am Stevel: Ooh, Lone Justice! Never minded the Cow Punk phase. Beat Farmers and especially Jason and the Scorchers.
	10:44am Cecile: hahahahahaha
	10:44am nickybones: @bobdoesthings i saw that show live and had sort of the same feeling -- though, some bits did have me in tears, still.
	10:44am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @bobdoesthings - Yes! Me too! I was not so thrilled with this latest installment. Parts of it were okay, but not as good as earlier ones.
	10:45am Cecile: Jason and the scorchers were ridiculously good live. Records never did em justice
	10:46am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Whenever I hear Maria McKee's voice, I think of that video she did with Robbie Robertson. Can't get that image out of my head.
	10:47am Cecile: you know Glen Campbell and Anne Murray do a gorgeous version of this. Seriously
	10:47am Joe McG: @Cecile: I'd say the same about Lone Justice! @Jennique: I don't think I've seen that. Is it embarrassing?
	10:48am Stevel: Wish I'd seen J&TS. I heard White Lies on the radio (remarkably) as I moved from Wisconsin to Colorado. It stuck in my head until I tracked it down two years later. (No Ebay in 1985 kids!)
	10:48am fleep: Rock out, Charley.
	10:49am Stevel: ...and Cathy Jean is exactly my sister's name. Who knew? Hidden talents!
	10:49am fredr: Ah Sylvia! Haven't heard this in many years.
	10:50am bobdoesthings: @nickybones/Jennique - do either of you know who he had as the opener on the special - the ragged/gnarly dude with dreads who read his jokes off a sheet? I enjoyed him almost more.. haha
	10:50am dale: i this album, has some really nice pastoral stuff on it too.
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: Dag nabbit, i missed my lord & savior Viv Stanshall...
	10:50am Cecile: REV
	10:51am Cheri Pi: PAPS
	10:51am Rev. Turnip Druid: 'ceese!
	10:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: pah! joe! y'all!
	10:53am Cecile: this lady should talk to Charlene. Just sayin.
	10:54am Brendan: Must... focus... Ahh f#% it screw work
	10:56am Cecile: this intro is gold.
	10:56am common: ludes?
	10:56am OTB: I forget the story here...they hired a bum to introduce the show?
	10:56am Parq: Hah, the live Bodi, with the extended intro. I put this up on a jukebox once while out with work friends. Boy, did I get looks.
	10:56am fleep: Likkered up fo sho
	10:56am Dominick: Priceless!
	10:56am Cheri Pi: Th' Dan!
	10:56am tiago: @probablyjohn: yes, you're absolutely right
	10:57am nickybones: @bobdoesthings i forget, but i liked him, too. some stuff was great.
	10:57am Joe McG: Steely Dan and whatever...!
	10:57am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @bobdoesthings - I don't know who that opening comic was, but I agree, he was pretty great. @joe - Here's the link to the video. Be sure to watch it all the way through. Kinda cringe worthy. www.vevo.com...
	10:57am Polyus: @OTB - He was their truck driver. I just looked that up myself.
	10:57am common: mr. steely dan and whatever!!! hee hee hee!
	10:58am OTB: @polyus - thanks! Doesn't sound like he should have been driving....
	10:58am Cecile: this is a pretty smokin' version of this song.
	10:58am Parq: Who was that guy doing the intro? Does anyone know?
	10:58am Cecile: they are so rich, their driver has a driver.
	10:59am Dominick: Sure as hell is Cecile
	10:59am V Priceless: woo!
	10:59am rsj: it looses it's cozy lounge feel live
	11:00am Polyus: At first I assumed it was a plastered DJ from the local FM rock station.
	11:00am bobdoesthings: @jennique/nickybones - argh! It's on Louis's site who it is -- "The opening act, who is seen at the beginning (good place for an opening act) is Jay London."
	11:00am Mugsy: Would've been interesting to have hears Steely Dan with John McLaughlin.
	11:00am V Priceless: Joe! thanks for this much-needed fire!
	11:00am Andy the painter: they put this out as a single? bold!
	11:00am βrian: Hey, where's that last syllable?
	11:01am Parq: Ah. Sorry, I didn't see the above comments about their driver.
	11:01am OTB: Man, these guys used to throw down....
	11:01am Cecile: shit, this guitar solo is IT
	11:01am Parq: Andy, it was the B side to the 45 of "Hey Nineteen".
	11:02am rsj: definitely changing my heroin soaked concept of the dan
	11:02am Cecile: hahhaha, vintage Steely Dan headline: "Aerosmith Thrilled, Steely Dan Unimpressed At Rock Hall Ceremony"
	11:03am Cecile: I always thought they were more boozers who did the occasional bit of coke.
	11:03am Polyus: I just clicky-starred the Dan. Never knew I had it in me.
	11:04am rsj: guess that's just personal connotation, not that i was into it
	11:05am Cecile: well, they did name themselves after a book written by a junkie.
	11:06am Mike East: good morning internet and radio pals.
	11:07am βrian: Not the book itself, though. Call it a literary aid.
	11:08am Parq: On that Bonzos 45, how many B sides can you name that start with the words "This is the B side"?
	11:09am Cecile: His record with Steve Lacy is more listenable than most. And I like Derek Bailey
	11:10am Cecile: Just be in the moment when you listen. Dude lived in the moment.
	11:10am the Canterbury wood-elf: Hey people. Just checked in, now kicking myself for what i've missed - Durutti Column! Fripp! Wyatt! (happy 70th bday yesterday RW)...even a song about an elf...
	11:12am Brendan: Meco was from... Wait for it ... Pennsylvania!
	11:12am Cecile: Yeah! Ross Wilson from Daddy Cool produced a couple of Skyhooks albums.
	11:13am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha! He's my homeboy!
	11:13am Cecile: And Shirley modeled more than a little of his singing after Ross's I'm told
	11:14am Joe McG: "Eagle Rock" actually has a great, real video on youtube from the day...
	11:15am Cecile: that's cool, I gotta check it out.
	11:16am Donna U: My son and I know about Eagle Rock from a Wiggles DVD. Ross Wilson appeared on one of their Christmas specials, if I recall correctly...
	11:17am Cecile: donna, that's awesome!
	11:17am Cecile: early T-bone burnette
	11:17am Brendan: Eagle Rock sounds like something you could throw down a couple or ten Fosters to...
	11:19am Cecile: Toohey's.
	11:19am Cecile: I don't know how Foster's is seen now, but it wasn't held in real high esteem back in the dya.
	11:20am Cecile: day
	11:20am V Priceless: about time, Canterbury w-e - you missed your theme song!
	11:21am Bronwyn Bishop: It's always a good day when I hear Nez on the radio!
	11:21am βrian: Foster's was "Oil-can chic."
	11:21am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: His mom invented White-Out.
	11:21am Brendan: Cecile .. Even better. Once their offspring are weaned kangaroos fill their pouches with ice and beer and go bar hopping and mate , mate.
	11:22am Cecile: it's weird, but I can tell Mike Nesmith's singing in three notes.
	11:23am βrian: Makes me want to wear a knit cap indoors ...
	11:25am Mike Noble: So glad the Paperhead's gettin some play!
	11:28am Joe McG: I like your avatar, Mike!
	11:28am V Priceless: YAY KINKS! Great show, JM!
	11:29am Mike Noble: @Joe: thanks! I put my new privileges to immediate use.
	11:29am Brendan: Nobody rocked a beanie and sideburns like Mike. One of my childhood 'cool' icons. There was a Monkees 45 on the back of a cereal box that you could cut out and play. I think it was Honeycomb cereal.
	11:30am Cecile: Peter Perrett?
	11:30am Planet Tyler: Peter Perrett!
	11:31am Joe McG: @Cecile: Talk about unmistakable voices!
	11:32am paula pc: please tell me Peter Perrett is still alive -- this is worrying me
	11:33am paula pc: that said, this Peel Sessions record (and this track) is one of my favorite things he/they ever did
	11:34am Joe McG: @PPC: As far as I know, and against all odds, PP is still kickin'!
	11:34am Cecile: you know it!
	11:37am Planet Tyler: The England's Glory LP is really great if ya can get it - recommended. The Lou Reed comparisons work a little better with that stuff but I still don't see how one could mistake PP for LR.
	11:38am Joe McG: I need to find it, P.T.!
	11:38am Carmichael: Hi Joe and devotees.
	11:38am Cecile: I agree. PP sings more at the back of the throat, both raspy and nasal.
	11:39am Sem Chumbo: Kickin' it hard this set, Joe. Happy, happy, happy.
	11:40am Cecile: I have an Andy Kirk record which is a delight. It has Sister Rosetta Tharpe on it.
	11:42am Planet Tyler: I'm sure you can find it Joe, but if you don't let me know :)
	11:42am DCE: enjoying the old-timey gtr stuff
	11:42am Brendan: The guitar blues in this set are killin it.
	11:43am DCE: "travis-pickin'"
	11:43am Cecile: ITA Tyler, I think it has been reissued at least once now that I think about it.
	11:43am Joe McG: Thanks, P.T., will do!
	11:45am Planet Tyler: @Cecile - it definitely was once. I have it on vinyl but I think I had it on CD too at one point (the days of having the same record on both!) And btw, there was a book written about PP too, called, of course, The One and Only
	👻 11:45am Brian in UK: If memory serves, Englands Glory was a brand of matches. I love the fact that so many across the water love the Bonzoes. Hello to all six of you.
	11:45am Bronwyn Bishop: Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly, I'll fly away...
	11:47am Joe McG: @BB: Ah yes, we'll all take wing one day!
	11:48am OTB: I feel all sanctified now. In a good way.
	11:49am Carmichael: Brian, hello from Jollity Farm.
	11:50am Bronwyn Bishop: All the little pigs they grunt and howl, the cats meow, the dogs bow-wow, everybody makes a row down on Jollity Farm!
	11:51am bobdoesthings: damn these old work songs always get me.. something very silencing about them
	11:51am V Priceless: Shades of 'Sinners Crossroads'! Great show, Joe! Thank-you!
	11:51am dennis diken: yet another wonderful show Joe!
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Grunt, Howl, Grunt, Howl.
	11:52am Mike East: is it possible I heard this on a Joe Frank episode?
	11:52am Sem Chumbo: @BrianinUK:“It may be rubbish - but by golly it’s British rubbish!” And that's good enough for a wild colonial boy.
	11:53am Brendan: Who played the stapler on that last song?
	👻 11:54am Brian in UK: @Sem those words are as true today as when they were first written last week. By the by, Uncle Mac sends his vest or was it best to you, emailed him the other day.
	11:55am Greg from Bloomfield: Joe was gospel before you were gospel (PS I'm wearing that shirt right now...)
	11:55am oks: really enjoying your show :)) Thank you Joe!!
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks, dennis, oks, and everyone for listening and commenting! I hope you all have a great week! See you next time...
	👻 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: If I ever had an FMU show I would paraphrase Sir Henry of Rawlinson End and call it 'I Don't Know What I Want But I Want It Now'.
	11:57am Sem Chumbo: That's great, BiUK, much appreciated.
	11:58am DCE: see ya Joe!
	11:58am bobdoesthings: Thanks Joe! another great show, see ya nextweek!
	11:58am βrian: Time to get busy, and do nothing: wfmu.org...
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: Another rib tickler from good ole Hank . Nice one Joe.
	11:58am Claw!: Thanks for the tunes, Joe. You're my hero.
	12:00pm Brendan: Joe ! See you!
