	9:05am Parq: Frank and then Joe? Mondays just got a little better.
	9:06am P-90: @ Marcel: you're right, no "trumpets of Zion" fanfare burting in the transition...
	9:07am Brendan: This feels weird . Which means I'll soon be liking it ! Hi Joe and folks. Resurfacing on Monday...
	9:08am P-90: Mondays after Frank could be the best time for Joe. Looking forward to this schedule...!
	♥ 9:10am ChrisB.: Welcome to Monday Mornings, Joe! Finding everything you need?
	♥ 9:10am Joe McG: Happy...Monday? Hi, everyone! This feels a little weird, but we'll get used to it! Thanks for joining me.
	9:10am DeaconDave: Getting my cup of Joe on Monday now!
	9:10am maja: :-)
	9:11am Brendan: Sorry for the redux-First comment crashed my app. No doubt about it - its Monday
	9:12am OTB: Eleven minutes into it, and I'm certain that McGasko Monday is going to be the new thing that all the kids will be talking about.
	♥ 9:13am Joe McG: @OTB: ha ha ha!
	9:13am sphere: man i feel my arms beginning to involuntarily flap....
	9:15am Claw!: Good morning, Joe! Hey Errrybody! Happy Monday
	♥ 9:15am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, cutting edge tunes today. Loves it.
	♥ 9:16am Brian in UK: S W E L L .
	♥ 9:17am Joe McG: This is the new format of the program now that Joe Franklin is gone.
	9:18am Brendan: Mondays no trouble at all Joe. I'd get out of a bed full of supermodels at 4 am for this show. Just to turn up the surface noise, then get back in . Those dames never have anything to say but man they're warm.
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: @Brendan: Dreams are sweet, aren't they?
	9:22am bobdoesthings: whaaaa new schedule! monday morning joe!
	9:25am Brendan: :-)
	9:25am DeaconDave: )(
	9:26am Listener Robert: You sure Rich Conaty isn't guest-DJing?
	9:26am Parq: Wow, Joe, do you own that "Banned" LP? Nice score!
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: @Robert: What a compliment! Thanks! @Parq: Got it for a dollar from DJ Stashu!
	♥ 9:28am Liz Berg: Welcome to Monday, Joe! Killing it already!
	♥ 9:29am Joe McG: Dear Liz, thank you!
	♥ 9:29am ChrisB.: Oh nuts! The 91.1 signal is doing that looping thing again...
	♥ 9:30am Ken From Hyde Park: 23 Skiddoo, kids! Who's up for some pole sitting?
	9:31am Ear Hammer: SURFACE NOISE U-S-A on M-O-N-D-A-Y-S!!!!
	♥ 9:34am MD: Good morning Freeform Ground Crew!!! WFMU...The first with boots on the ground!!!
	9:35am Parq: Just put the radio on in another room, and it's looping the verse to Ain't Misbehaving. I assume people are already aware of that.
	9:35am Listener Robert: It's true. I do like music from the late 1920s & early 1930s, but I hardly ever tune in to Rich Conaty (whom I met at a party almost 35 yrs. ago) any more because WFMU's had such great offerings on Sun. night (incl. Dave Mandl, whom I knew via other company). And if I didn't listen to WFMU at that time, it'd be John Bachelor & his interviews of authors on historic issues. It's a very competitive night for att'n.
	9:36am Claw!: I like when you start off with the 20s and 30s stuff, Joe. :)
	♥ 9:37am Joe McG: Thanks, Claw! Welcome to all my radio friends, thanks for coming with me to Mondays.
	9:37am Jack: @Ken - I'm surprised nobody has brought back or re-invented pole sitting.
	9:39am Listener Robert: ISTR they were doing pole-sitting (& billboard-sitting or other close approxim'ns) again in the 1990s, as a protest or something So it's already had its 2nd fad.
	9:48am P-90: Another strong up-vote for the "Joe Franklin/Rich Conaty" style opening sets. Stick with 'em!
	♥ 9:49am Guido from Cologne: Welcome to the new time-slot Joe!
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Guido!
	♥ 9:50am MD: McGasko...a reason to look forward to Mondays!!!
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: @MD: We all need that, that's for sure! Now I will also be looking forward to Mondays, possibly for the first time in my life.
	♥ 9:52am ChrisB.: Nice to hear some new Tommy Keene.
	9:53am BriJet: Good Mornin' Joe!!!!
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: Good mornin', BriJet!
	♥ 9:54am Polyus: Joe's Thing With A Hook
	9:55am KP: Good morning Joe. Welcome to my Monday.
	♥ 9:55am Joe McG: Thanks, KP! @Polyus: You must be reading my mail. Or my mind!
	9:58am BriJet: Wish I'd peeled myself outta bed sooner! Boswell Sisters! Mae West!? yum!!!
	♥ 10:00am Joe McG: @BriJet: It makes me happy.
	10:01am BriJet: Diggin all the tunes though! ;)
	♥ 10:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Here is some YLT from Gaylord's show yesterday: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: @Ken: They played and sang very nicely yesterday! (Including the song I played)
	10:05am Chris from DC: Really? New Chills?
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: @Chris: Yes! so cool!
	10:07am Chris from DC: Indeed.
	10:08am the Canterbury wood-elf: Hey Joe, Good to hear you on a Monday. Nice to hear some new Chills too.
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: Like the new avatar, CWE!
	10:10am the Canterbury wood-elf: i was hoping to upgrade to an animated gif avatar, but apparently these require a certain pledge level - what's the story?
	10:12am Brendan: Love this
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @CWE: It's pledge-related, yes! Drop me an e-mail at jmcgasko@wfmu.org after the show and I can give you the details.
	10:12am DeaconDave: I believe one needs to be a ""Swag for life" member
	10:13am sphere: I am really digging Widowspeak. :)
	10:14am DeaconDave: Me too, this is a neat track, is the rest of the album like this?
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: @Dave: Yes, it's a very nice record!
	10:15am Marc Francis: This is all such perfect Monday morning music. Thanks Joe!
	10:15am DeaconDave: Worth having in my collection then.
	♥ 10:16am Brian in UK: Is it widow speak or widows peak?
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: @Brian: All one word, so you have to guess! @MarcF: Thanks! Jangling in the new day....
	10:18am Cecile: good morning. Also, if you have that bird tweet noise on your phone whenever you get texts, you are now my enemy.
	♥ 10:18am Brian in UK: July '65 was the first time I heard McGuinn jangling. Turned my head forever.
	♥ 10:19am Brian in UK: Gawd the Marine Girls from Welwyn Garden City.
	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: @Brian: There's a Garden City around here, too, but no Marine Girls come from there.
	♥ 10:22am Brian in UK: Cracking pop, Joe. Reminds me of Tony Conway's early band Security Risk. No recorded material to my knowledge.
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: Hey, Cecile! @Ear Hammer: Late, but...HI! :)
	♥ 10:24am Greg from ZONE 5: @Cecile: YES. I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that that noise is worse than a million Hitlers.
	10:30am Cecile: new Tommy Keene album?
	10:32am Parq: I hear people say "The" Talking Heads all the time. It irks me, but then, I'm like that.
	10:32am Kurt Gottschalk: ...and while nobody ever seems to notice the fact, it's "carpenters," not "the carpenters."
	10:34am Brendan: The 'The The'
	10:34am bobdoesthings: wooo!
	♥ 10:34am Greg from ZONE 5: Seems like it is both "Pixies" AND "The Pixies". Even on their own Wikipedia page…
	♥ 10:35am Joe McG: Great show the other day, Kurt! I was listening but not on the Computer.
	10:35am Marc Francis: Shifting gears just when I needed it...
	10:35am Parq: There were actually two The Thes. At least two. There was a New York band with that name around the time that the Brit one released its first.
	10:35am Claw!: Yeeeeaaaah!
	10:35am Kurt Gottschalk: thanks, joe. i had a blast.
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: Ugh, I did it again! Label just says "Go-Gos"!
	10:37am Jeff: Enjoying this Monday morning Joe with a cup of joe, Joe, even though you curiously don't like joe yourself, Joe.
	♥ 10:38am Mike East: Surface Noise Monday...I approve of this schedule change. Good morning Joe McG!
	10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but you might be safe being The The Thes - of course some might call you The The The Thes...
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: Ha, Jeff! Is that some kind of Joeke? @Mike: Happy Monday, Mike!
	♥ 10:40am Marcel M: Dust! COOL!!!
	♥ 10:40am Marcel M: The Shangri-Las segueing into Dust... kind of a WFMU moment there :-)
	10:41am steve: mornin Joe. you make a fine leadoff hitter.
	10:41am Melinda: @Kurt: I bet that if one started referring to Carpenters without 'the' it would really confuse people. I never noticed it either but I'm going to start spreading the word.
	10:41am Listener Alexandra: Monday is the new Thursday!
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Thanks, Steve, great to see you. @Marcel: I'm not sure what KIND of moment! :)
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Hi, Alex! :)
	10:42am bobdoesthings: and thursdays are the new mondays which use to be fridays I think..
	10:42am steve: glad to finally hear Dust, months after finishing the Marky Ramone book.
	♥ 10:43am common: good to hear you, joe. hello all.
	10:43am Cecile: the only band who IME got really torqued off about the wrong use of "the" were Cows.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Hey, common! @Cecile: At least I didn't say "The Dust." Yet.
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Prince. The Motorhead.
	10:44am Cecile: I think everyone else is just happy you got their name right. It's like saying "mister" or "missus". "Hello, The Carpenters" "S'ok, just Carpenters"
	10:45am Cecile: this is the best refrain ever.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: Only Talking Heads every got annoyed enough to title an album so that people got it right.
	10:46am Cecile: Okay, them too.
	♥ 10:46am Brian in UK: Oh THE Pink Floyd. Which one's THE.
	10:47am Parq: College pals of mine called their intramural basketball team "Eraserhead" (the movie was newly out at the time). The league managers listed them in all the schedules, etc., as "The Eraserheads". They weren't happy. Joe, true. And it didn't work.
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @Parq: Ha ha! At least they weren't the Pencilnecks.
	10:48am Cecile: I see a shotgun wedding and community college in your future.
	10:50am Melinda: The Willie!
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Melinda: Ha!
	10:51am sphere: The world would be a much poorer place if Willie had just stuck to songwriting.
	10:52am DeaconDave: Hee Haaaaa!
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: Shoulda played this one after the "tie me to a tree" one!
	10:53am Listener Robert: I would tend to automatically supply "The" as well, because otherwise they'd sound generic. "By Talking Heads" makes it sound like a description rather than a name attribution. I guess that's what they were after.... Where I would NOT apply "The" would be where it's obvious word play was intended, like Miss Vickie's "People Like Us", so you can say it's "by people like us". (Sorry, I can't help supplying the "Miss" before her name either, just as a little jokey allusion.)
	♥ 10:54am Marcel M: @Joe: A good kind of WFMU moment!
	10:54am Brendan: El works too
	10:55am V Priceless: yeah baby!!!
	10:55am DeaconDave: Rock me mama!
	♥ 10:55am Marcel M: This is a single file for the ages!
	♥ 10:55am Ken From Hyde Park: How about the football players that announce that their college was THE Ohio State?
	10:56am DeaconDave: "Once was" comes to mind
	10:56am Cecile: They should be soundly trounced by the University of Michigan.
	♥ 10:57am ChrisB.: The band Pugwash worked up an impromptu version of Art of Noise's Peter Gunn at their show in Asbury last Thursday. Wild!
	10:57am Listener Robert: Oddly, the "The" has the reverse effect of making that sound like a description rather than a title, "the Ohio state university". See, I don't even put it in caps with that "the" prefacing it, because it doesn't read like a name.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Sounds fun!
	10:58am Melinda: Frankly I was shocked to learn there's no 'the' with Go-Go's. All these years wrong.
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we are not thee representative Talking Heads (meaning a TV commentator who only shows his head & talks) - nor even specific Talking Heads, in fact: we are Art School people named for the Idea of Talking Heads, & reflecting on it...
	10:58am DeaconDave: Would you say "The" Mae West?
	♥ 10:59am Joe McG: @Melinda: I think they might've added it later, but it's not on the first single!
	10:59am Listener Robert: Is it true that Barreracudas also wants no "the"? ISTR reading that somewhere.
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe @ Madam Tousauds...
	♥ 10:59am Polyus: It actually is The Ohio State University. One person said it correctly years ago, a bunch of other people followed.
	♥ 10:59am ChrisB.: The whole "Straight to Hell" soundtrack is pretty fun. The movie, not so much.
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @Chris: I haven't watched it yet and I've had it in my house for almost 15 years. Maybe 2015 will be the year.
	11:01am Brendan: Speaking of (the) Peter Gunn, they are going to do a new Bond song. ...sacrilege
	11:01am DeaconDave: Is Bad Company's Shooting Star based on this Terry Jacks song?
	♥ 11:01am ChrisB.: @Joe: Take your time.
	♥ 11:02am Joe McG: @DeaconDave: Ha ha! But this one is better!
	11:02am Brendan: Is this a b side of seasons in the sun?
	♥ 11:02am Marcel M: This dude was everywhere
	♥ 11:02am Joe McG: @Brendan: No, that's the immortal "Put the Bone In." About a doggie.
	♥ 11:03am ChrisB.: God, what a mopey loser.
	11:03am steve: wsant that horrible "put the bone in" song the b side to seasons in the sun?
	11:03am DeaconDave: Maybe it is The Terry Jacks?
	11:03am Elias: Joe, the 91.1 signal is cutting out, and now just dead air...
	11:04am KP: Sold his guitar? I'm sobbing here
	11:04am sugarwolf: Can Con!
	11:05am the Canterbury wood-elf: When Kevin Ayers (currently on loop behind Joe's voice) was in Soft Machine they were "The Soft Machine". When he left, they dropped the "The". I believe Pink Floyd dropped their "The" around the same time...
	11:05am Chris M.: oh god my alarm clock didn't -- oh ... whew. hey Joe.
	11:06am Brendan: Ah yes the bone in song!
	♥ 11:06am tadpoles: There was a band called The Go Go's : www.thestranger.com... Got usurped I suppose>
	♥ 11:07am Ken From Hyde Park: The Key & Peele football introduction skits beat the real ones.
	11:07am Parq: All this is reminding me of a great bit of dialog from Doug Adams's "Hitchhiker" series. The larger-than-life Zaphod Beeblebrox has just identified himself to a receptionist. Astonished, she says "THE Zaphod Beeblebrox??" "No," he drawls, "just A Zaphod Beeblebrox. Didn't you know I come in six packs?"
	11:09am suea: AH! i was thinking the same thing about the mom rejected from college. times have changed! --> personally grateful.
	11:10am Elias: Hooray, the 91.1 signal is back, no more listening to Carl Banks talk about last night's football game!
	11:13am KP: Kenny Aaronson was also in dust. Awesome bass player and the first on Dylan's never ending tour
	11:14am Cactus Cop: oh nice a double dare
	♥ 11:15am Marcel M: Uh oh...
	11:15am Brendan: Ruh roh
	11:15am Lewis: oh you daring fellow!
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jeeem !
	11:16am Kevlicki: LOL fist banging on the table, THE DOORS
	♥ 11:16am nickybones: hahah you're too much, joe.
	11:16am Kurt Gottschalk: godspeed, king joe, but the doors? i gotta go.
	11:16am suea: i am delighted with this block. my older bro flooded my childhood with this music.
	♥ 11:16am Greg from ZONE 5: Oh! Thought it was Sam Kinison…
	11:16am Cheri Pi: hahahahahaha. I like the Doors.
	11:16am Cecile: oh, I was afraid it was going to be Journey or Meat Loaf. Doors are at least funny, and they rock sometimes.
	11:16am Kevlicki: And you started off with their last and least popular album. This is incredible and I love that Michele was the one that challenged you!
	11:17am Kurt Gottschalk: greg HA
	11:17am V Priceless: hope you've got 'waiting for the sun' on your playlist...
	♥ 11:17am ChrisB.: Oh my.
	11:17am Cecile: I like their version of Alabama Song.
	♥ 11:17am nickybones: joe is the lizard king. he can play anything.
	11:17am Cecile: oh, don't ask why.
	11:18am ?: smoke break
	11:18am the Canterbury wood-elf: Secretly, we all like The Doors. Haven't heard this one for a while...
	11:18am Cecile: the overplayed stuff is painful. The groove stuff is good.
	♥ 11:19am ChrisB.: Who remembers the time Glen Jones hung up on Ray Manzarek during an interview because he was being a world class asshat?
	♥ 11:20am Brian in UK: Joe, is the Lizard King, he can do anything.
	11:20am Kevlicki: Out here in the perimeter There are no stars, Out here we is stoned Immaculate.
	11:21am V Priceless: out here in the perimeter there are no stars...FYI
	♥ 11:21am Brian in UK: Ooops just seen nickybones.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Alice is OK - & the Stooges, Arthur Lee & Love, Bunnymen, Mazzy Star, Jesus & Mary Chain - everybody around them & wouldn't be the same w/out them - but not them... ,,,& we're judging Rawk Stars by how much quality time we'd've liked to spend w/ them? Good Luck w/ that...
	♥ 11:21am Greg from ZONE 5: @ChrisB: Definitely pulling up that archive today.
	11:21am Brendan: My brain is squirming like a toad
	♥ 11:21am ChrisB.: Ray's answer to every question: "You'll have to buy the book."
	11:21am V Priceless: dang Kevlicki..ya beat me to it! ha!
	11:22am Cecile: you know a little faster, and they're the kingsmen.
	11:22am Kevlicki: @the Canterbury wood-elf, yes we were all thirteen at some point
	11:22am Cactus Cop: This is already proving to be quite interesting.
	♥ 11:22am Brian in UK: Waiting for the Sun is good pop.
	11:23am Kevlicki: @v Priceless HA! this is really amusing.
	♥ 11:23am nickybones: ha! great minds, @Brian in UK....
	11:23am Melinda: I kind of like Jim's shouts.
	11:24am Cecile: yeah!
	11:24am Cheri Pi: Right Cecile?
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's the definitive croony Rawk voice to me.
	11:25am Cecile: this is as good as garage rock gets.
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nick Cave took massive notes - admit it Nick.
	♥ 11:25am Greg from ZONE 5: They gypsies had no homes, The Doors had no bass…
	11:25am rw: Haha! Was just wondering, "What's next? I'll bet it's Peace Frog."
	♥ 11:25am Asheville Jon: Celebration of the Lizard! kill about 20 minutes with that
	11:25am V Priceless: 'not to touch the earth' perchance? Does the 'PF' in 'PF Sloan' stand for 'Peace Frog'?
	♥ 11:26am Brian in UK: Joe, the odd thing is as I mentioned last week, been reading Becoming Elektra so there has been some Doors action in the book. They did set up Elektra with their first No.1. Lonnie Mack plays bass on Morrison Hotel, you can hear it.
	11:26am Parq: If you were a pre-teen or a young teen white male during 1967-70, what the Doors mean to you makes whether or not you "like" them kind of irrelevant. It's kind of like asking a white, middle class woman who was 14 or 15 when Tapestry came out whether or not she "likes" it.
	♥ 11:27am ChrisVB: This was the soundtrack to a very formative time in my teenage years. Awesomeness!
	♥ 11:27am ChrisB.: I'm hearing some John Doe here.
	11:27am Cecile: even us 10 years olds were marked by tapestry.
	11:28am Parq: ChrisVB, I can tell from your profile pic that you know exactly what I mean.
	♥ 11:28am Mike East: there used to be a Doors tribute band in NJ called the Soft Parade, who I used to confuse with the Soft Machine, cuz I didn't know any better
	♥ 11:28am Brian in UK: Put in context the first Doors album was released in January '67. That sound was new to most people.
	11:29am Cecile: As for the doors, commercial rock radio rarely played them until the start of the late 70s. Then they were bran' new until about the middle of the 80s when it got ridiculous.
	11:29am Cheri Pi: ...And Def Leppard has no high hat
	11:29am fredr: Nothing wrong with some Doors tracks every now and then.
	11:29am Kevlicki: Oh my god, whats that really terrible Manzarek song post doors
	11:29am BennettCap: Nice
	11:29am Dean: Morrison reminds me of Glen Danzig, or vice versa. At a street fair yesterday I heard a band of young teens struggling with a cover of Danzig's "Mother." Shoot, they should have tried "Riders on the Storm."
	11:29am Cecile: hahahhahahhaha, cheri.
	♥ 11:29am Brian in UK: By the way their name is DOORS.
	11:30am Cecile: Echo and the Bunnymen drank heavily from this well.
	♥ 11:30am Brian in UK: Oh no that's DAWES
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Manzarek produced X. ...'Apocalypse Now' restarted the doors thing seems to me, & then the iffy bio 'No One Here Gets Out Alive'.
	♥ 11:30am Asheville Jon: How about playing some post-Morrison Doors, like Verdillac or The Mosquito
	11:30am Kevlicki: the Solar Boat! www.youtube.com...
	11:31am Lewis: Hittin' the highlights in my mind!
	11:31am KP: This is even worse on two out of sync radios BTW
	11:31am Kevlicki: Val Kilmer was the best band member in the Doors
	11:31am Cheri Pi: The Doors taught little kids how to feel high without taking drugs.
	11:32am brens: love you thanks for Jim. and agreeing with your new schedule
	♥ 11:32am Greg from ZONE 5: Wait, did he just say "I see the bathroom is clear"? I misheard that, right?
	♥ 11:32am tadpoles: Where would we be without the Doors. The first LP is a classic! Just how important Jim was is shown by how bad "Other Voices" is. Cheeky upstarts new band - Dawes.
	11:32am rw: When I used to go to punk shows in the early '80s it seemed 2/3 of the frontmen had a Jim Morrison stance.
	11:32am Jack: Still, their first couple of albums are good; after that it became...erratic? Some really great songs, and then there's these.
	11:33am Kevlicki: I admire how they treated the band as a collective and respect their refusal to their music being used in ads
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'd like to note how much Van Morrison & Them's 1st album prefigures the doors.
	11:34am bobdoesthings: ugh. something tells me this is gonna last till noon....
	11:35am Lewis: Beware the Double Dare!
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: Don't worry, Bob, I'm almost done!
	11:35am Another Chris: Year Eight of this The Doors playlist. I think we have crossed the bridge to Despair. Morale is low.
	11:35am Cecile: Jack, that probably corresponded with Jim's decline.
	11:35am Dean: The Doors jamb!
	♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: They were egalitarian in as much as all publishing and writing credits were split down the middle. Helps keep a band together like U2 whether you like them or not.
	11:36am bobdoesthings: @joe - oh heehhe.. ok cool, haha sorry.I don't mean to be crumudgeny.
	11:36am Brendan: Yeah no doubt the Doors became unhinged after that
	♥ 11:36am crateslinger: Time to see... what Brian Lehrer's up to...
	11:37am Todd-o-phonic: The Feelies know how much I hate The Doors and have been known to dedicate this to me when they perform it as a result. I must admit it is one of The Doors' least intolerable songs.
	11:37am Jack: Also remember: wherever it's raining, some DJ is playing "Riders on the Storm".
	♥ 11:37am Fuzzy: Aw...the cool kids ain't digging this set.
	♥ 11:38am chris: Hi, I'm new here. So happy to have finally found the Doors station on my radio.
	11:38am Another Chris: You can't undo it, Joe. The mark has been made.
	11:38am steve: riiide the snake, to the lake
	11:38am Cecile: hahahahhah, oh jim, you were a magnificent fool.
	11:39am DeaconDave: Throw the Doors out the window!
	11:39am Danne D: I hope Joe does 3 hours of Doors next week to cement his dominance :)
	11:39am Chris M.: "What a mad delusion Livin' in that confusion Frustration an' doubt Can you ever live without the game The sad sad game Mad game" -- Jim Morrison
	♥ 11:39am Brian in UK: Jim was never a musician.
	♥ 11:39am ChrisB.: Will Scott Muni be doing the back announce?
	♥ 11:40am coelacanth: goo morning Joe and everyone
	11:40am steve: Tom Scharpling had a great rant about Jim Morrison - basically he was going on about what horrible product endorsements and TV ads he would be doing now if he were still alive
	11:40am Kevlicki: No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn!
	♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: (Has driven through Morrison, Colorado.)
	11:40am Cecile: the Doors are actually one of Richard Meltzer's very favorite bands.
	11:40am Dean: An hour of "In a gadda da vida" and assorted cover versions might work.
	11:41am Todd-o-phonic: Headline in tomorrow's Daily News: "Doors deluge gets McGasko/Belock tag team off to dubious debut".
	11:41am DeaconDave: How about an hour of AC/DC?
	11:42am Cecile: I'd be down for an hour of AC/DC.
	♥ 11:42am Asheville Jon: yeah DeaconDave, but only post Back In Black AC/DC (YUCK!!!)
	11:42am Dean: This is true, Cecile. Always kinda puzzled me, because I get the impression Meltzer is very sensitive to poseur rock.
	11:42am bobdoesthings: wow.
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in their own time, @ least, they would've said it's an L.A. - NYC thing...
	♥ 11:42am coelacanth: Hahaha!
	11:43am Cecile: Post Back in BLack? Are you kidding? Only pre-!
	11:43am Another Chris: This is Joe's semi annual Heel Turn.
	11:43am Cheri Pi: I love you Michelle
	11:43am Parq: Manz may have been a douche but he had enough of a sense of humor to drop an organ track when Weird Al sent up Craigslist a la the Doors.
	11:43am DeaconDave: and play 5 covers of back in black - if there are any
	♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: Some Nana Mouskouri to soothe the soul would be 'nice'.
	♥ 11:43am Ken From Hyde Park: The only way to undo this is to play them all again, but backwards.
	11:43am Cecile: I think he liked Jim's ambition and the jazz feel to a lot of their songs. He also likes interesting messes, which is so much of what the Doors represent.
	♥ 11:43am Asheville Jon: yes Cecile, hence the YUCK!!! it would HAVE to be Bon Scott era, and nothing off Highway to Hell and no big balls either.
	11:44am Kevlicki: very a-door-able tribute to michele!
	11:44am bobdoesthings: ::phfewwww:: we made it guys! ::hugs all around::
	11:44am Cecile: Highway to Hell is great. I had to get used to it, though. But no Big Balls, for sure.
	♥ 11:45am Greg from ZONE 5: That settles it. I'm stinkbombing SUW's mailbox.
	♥ 11:45am Asheville Jon: (I'm off to find some live AC/DC concerts from the Let There Be Rock era on youtube)
	♥ 11:45am coelacanth: soft parade is almost all abominable crap,except i think wild child is on it.
	11:45am Cecile: A radio station I knew played "Highway to Hell" and "Crazy Train" once a day. I thought that was about right.
	♥ 11:45am Asheville Jon: HtoH is good, but way overplayed
	11:46am Cecile: niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. AJ, you saw that weird French documentary on AC/DC didn't you? It's only on video...
	11:47am Cecile: it's not the same without Mozza gargling over it.
	♥ 11:48am Asheville Jon: did not see the documentary cecile
	♥ 11:49am crateslinger: I was just kidding. Didn't go nowhere. Doors still suck but welcome to Mondays Joe. Nice job.
	11:51am OTB: Roberta Flack did a TOTALLY different version of this tune....
	11:51am Brendan: Joe Unplugged!
	♥ 11:51am coelacanth: the doors had many brilliant moments, despite morrison being an asshole! i'm not sure i could endure an acdc set of any longer duration than that doors set.
	11:54am Parq: Onward. Pretty interesting story behind "First Time Ever", via Wikipedia. Worth checking just for the list of people who've done it. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think AC/CD are pretty great - but not a lot variation there...
	♥ 11:54am Brian in UK: Nice one, Joe. Same time, Thursday?
	11:54am DeaconDave: AC/CD?
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the same for The AC/DC...
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! @everyone: Thanks for keeping me company on my first Monday morning show. I'll be with you again next Monday! Have a great week!
	11:55am Cecile: www.imdb.com... It's kind of revealing. You see Bon quite unhappy, and Angus subtly squeezing him out of the band. From what I've read, he was considering moving on. before he passed.
	11:56am DeaconDave: Ha!
	♥ 11:56am Polyus: RIP Gary Richrath, for you REO fans. And I know you're out there.
	♥ 11:57am coelacanth: RR -that's why i feel as i do. there's nothing i dislike about acdc, but it gets really tedious.
	11:57am Cecile: aw, that poor guy. Drugs ran him into the ground.
	11:57am Parq: I almost switched over to the Drummer stream for Busy Doing Nothing. Gonna take a while to lose that reflex.
	11:57am OTB: @Parq - that is interesting. I can see why Ewan MacColl might not have been crazy about other versions. 'Berta's has a thing about it, tho....
	11:57am bobdoesthings: thanks joe!!
	11:58am Dean: That explains why the campus station was playing REO this morning.
	11:58am V Priceless: thanks for breaking on thru to Mondays, Joe! Cheers!
	♥ 11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe! (Now on to the next Joe!)
	11:59am DeaconDave: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth: Thanks Joe!
	11:59am Dean: So you're saying this is The End?
	11:59am DeaconDave: I'm not sure I can deal with 2 Joes
	♥ 11:59am Fuzzy: Good show! Double-Joe Mondays will be cool!
	11:59am βrian: Jeff Golick should be up, though for one hour. Monday needs a little more afternoon love.
	11:59am Brendan: He' ridin' the storm out. A rider on the storm.
	♥ 11:59am Asheville Jon: Cecile, i did see that (it's also on youtube). look up the 1978 colchester concert. stage barely big enough for the band. rocks! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:00pm Asheville Jon: and the Doors closes on Joe's show. thanks!
	12:00pm Santos L Halper: Thanks Joe, nice to have you on any day of the week. And nice to hear the Doors : )
	12:00pm P-90: Thynx!
	12:00pm Brendan: Killer show Joe. You are the man.
	12:00pm Claw!: Tanks, Joe!
	11:04am Robert price: Love the show.

	9:04am sphere: hey Joe whatta you know?
	9:04am OTB: Mornin' everbody!
	♥ 9:05am Polyus: I'm all discombobulated here.
	9:05am Parq: Frank and then Joe? Mondays just got a little better.
	9:06am P-90: @ Marcel: you're right, no "trumpets of Zion" fanfare burting in the transition...
	9:07am Brendan: This feels weird . Which means I'll soon be liking it ! Hi Joe and folks. Resurfacing on Monday...
	9:08am P-90: Mondays after Frank could be the best time for Joe. Looking forward to this schedule...!
	♥ 9:10am ChrisB.: Welcome to Monday Mornings, Joe! Finding everything you need?
	♥ 9:10am Joe McG: Happy...Monday? Hi, everyone! This feels a little weird, but we'll get used to it! Thanks for joining me.
	9:10am DeaconDave: Getting my cup of Joe on Monday now!
	9:10am maja: :-)
	9:11am Brendan: Sorry for the redux-First comment crashed my app. No doubt about it - its Monday
	9:12am OTB: Eleven minutes into it, and I'm certain that McGasko Monday is going to be the new thing that all the kids will be talking about.
	♥ 9:13am Joe McG: @OTB: ha ha ha!
	9:13am sphere: man i feel my arms beginning to involuntarily flap....
	9:15am Claw!: Good morning, Joe! Hey Errrybody! Happy Monday
	♥ 9:15am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, cutting edge tunes today. Loves it.
	♥ 9:16am Brian in UK: S W E L L .
	♥ 9:17am Joe McG: This is the new format of the program now that Joe Franklin is gone.
	9:18am Brendan: Mondays no trouble at all Joe. I'd get out of a bed full of supermodels at 4 am for this show. Just to turn up the surface noise, then get back in . Those dames never have anything to say but man they're warm.
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: @Brendan: Dreams are sweet, aren't they?
	9:22am bobdoesthings: whaaaa new schedule! monday morning joe!
	9:25am Brendan: :-)
	9:25am DeaconDave: )(
	9:26am Listener Robert: You sure Rich Conaty isn't guest-DJing?
	9:26am Parq: Wow, Joe, do you own that "Banned" LP? Nice score!
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: @Robert: What a compliment! Thanks! @Parq: Got it for a dollar from DJ Stashu!
	♥ 9:28am Liz Berg: Welcome to Monday, Joe! Killing it already!
	♥ 9:29am Joe McG: Dear Liz, thank you!
	♥ 9:29am ChrisB.: Oh nuts! The 91.1 signal is doing that looping thing again...
	♥ 9:30am Ken From Hyde Park: 23 Skiddoo, kids! Who's up for some pole sitting?
	9:31am Ear Hammer: SURFACE NOISE U-S-A on M-O-N-D-A-Y-S!!!!
	♥ 9:34am MD: Good morning Freeform Ground Crew!!! WFMU...The first with boots on the ground!!!
	9:35am Parq: Just put the radio on in another room, and it's looping the verse to Ain't Misbehaving. I assume people are already aware of that.
	9:35am Listener Robert: It's true. I do like music from the late 1920s & early 1930s, but I hardly ever tune in to Rich Conaty (whom I met at a party almost 35 yrs. ago) any more because WFMU's had such great offerings on Sun. night (incl. Dave Mandl, whom I knew via other company). And if I didn't listen to WFMU at that time, it'd be John Bachelor & his interviews of authors on historic issues. It's a very competitive night for att'n.
	9:36am Claw!: I like when you start off with the 20s and 30s stuff, Joe. :)
	♥ 9:37am Joe McG: Thanks, Claw! Welcome to all my radio friends, thanks for coming with me to Mondays.
	9:37am Jack: @Ken - I'm surprised nobody has brought back or re-invented pole sitting.
	9:39am Listener Robert: ISTR they were doing pole-sitting (& billboard-sitting or other close approxim'ns) again in the 1990s, as a protest or something So it's already had its 2nd fad.
	9:48am P-90: Another strong up-vote for the "Joe Franklin/Rich Conaty" style opening sets. Stick with 'em!
	♥ 9:49am Guido from Cologne: Welcome to the new time-slot Joe!
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Guido!
	♥ 9:50am MD: McGasko...a reason to look forward to Mondays!!!
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: @MD: We all need that, that's for sure! Now I will also be looking forward to Mondays, possibly for the first time in my life.
	♥ 9:52am ChrisB.: Nice to hear some new Tommy Keene.
	9:53am BriJet: Good Mornin' Joe!!!!
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: Good mornin', BriJet!
	♥ 9:54am Polyus: Joe's Thing With A Hook
	9:55am KP: Good morning Joe. Welcome to my Monday.
	♥ 9:55am Joe McG: Thanks, KP! @Polyus: You must be reading my mail. Or my mind!
	9:58am BriJet: Wish I'd peeled myself outta bed sooner! Boswell Sisters! Mae West!? yum!!!
	♥ 10:00am Joe McG: @BriJet: It makes me happy.
	10:01am BriJet: Diggin all the tunes though! ;)
	♥ 10:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Here is some YLT from Gaylord's show yesterday: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: @Ken: They played and sang very nicely yesterday! (Including the song I played)
	10:05am Chris from DC: Really? New Chills?
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: @Chris: Yes! so cool!
	10:07am Chris from DC: Indeed.
	10:08am the Canterbury wood-elf: Hey Joe, Good to hear you on a Monday. Nice to hear some new Chills too.
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: Like the new avatar, CWE!
	10:10am the Canterbury wood-elf: i was hoping to upgrade to an animated gif avatar, but apparently these require a certain pledge level - what's the story?
	10:12am Brendan: Love this
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @CWE: It's pledge-related, yes! Drop me an e-mail at jmcgasko@wfmu.org after the show and I can give you the details.
	10:12am DeaconDave: I believe one needs to be a ""Swag for life" member
	10:13am sphere: I am really digging Widowspeak. :)
	10:14am DeaconDave: Me too, this is a neat track, is the rest of the album like this?
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: @Dave: Yes, it's a very nice record!
	10:15am Marc Francis: This is all such perfect Monday morning music. Thanks Joe!
	10:15am DeaconDave: Worth having in my collection then.
	♥ 10:16am Brian in UK: Is it widow speak or widows peak?
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: @Brian: All one word, so you have to guess! @MarcF: Thanks! Jangling in the new day....
	10:18am Cecile: good morning. Also, if you have that bird tweet noise on your phone whenever you get texts, you are now my enemy.
	♥ 10:18am Brian in UK: July '65 was the first time I heard McGuinn jangling. Turned my head forever.
	♥ 10:19am Brian in UK: Gawd the Marine Girls from Welwyn Garden City.
	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: @Brian: There's a Garden City around here, too, but no Marine Girls come from there.
	♥ 10:22am Brian in UK: Cracking pop, Joe. Reminds me of Tony Conway's early band Security Risk. No recorded material to my knowledge.
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: Hey, Cecile! @Ear Hammer: Late, but...HI! :)
	♥ 10:24am Greg from ZONE 5: @Cecile: YES. I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that that noise is worse than a million Hitlers.
	10:30am Cecile: new Tommy Keene album?
	10:32am Parq: I hear people say "The" Talking Heads all the time. It irks me, but then, I'm like that.
	10:32am Kurt Gottschalk: ...and while nobody ever seems to notice the fact, it's "carpenters," not "the carpenters."
	10:34am Brendan: The 'The The'
	10:34am bobdoesthings: wooo!
	♥ 10:34am Greg from ZONE 5: Seems like it is both "Pixies" AND "The Pixies". Even on their own Wikipedia page…
	♥ 10:35am Joe McG: Great show the other day, Kurt! I was listening but not on the Computer.
	10:35am Marc Francis: Shifting gears just when I needed it...
	10:35am Parq: There were actually two The Thes. At least two. There was a New York band with that name around the time that the Brit one released its first.
	10:35am Claw!: Yeeeeaaaah!
	10:35am Kurt Gottschalk: thanks, joe. i had a blast.
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: Ugh, I did it again! Label just says "Go-Gos"!
	10:37am Jeff: Enjoying this Monday morning Joe with a cup of joe, Joe, even though you curiously don't like joe yourself, Joe.
	♥ 10:38am Mike East: Surface Noise Monday...I approve of this schedule change. Good morning Joe McG!
	10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but you might be safe being The The Thes - of course some might call you The The The Thes...
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: Ha, Jeff! Is that some kind of Joeke? @Mike: Happy Monday, Mike!
	♥ 10:40am Marcel M: Dust! COOL!!!
	♥ 10:40am Marcel M: The Shangri-Las segueing into Dust... kind of a WFMU moment there :-)
	10:41am steve: mornin Joe. you make a fine leadoff hitter.
	10:41am Melinda: @Kurt: I bet that if one started referring to Carpenters without 'the' it would really confuse people. I never noticed it either but I'm going to start spreading the word.
	10:41am Listener Alexandra: Monday is the new Thursday!
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Thanks, Steve, great to see you. @Marcel: I'm not sure what KIND of moment! :)
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Hi, Alex! :)
	10:42am bobdoesthings: and thursdays are the new mondays which use to be fridays I think..
	10:42am steve: glad to finally hear Dust, months after finishing the Marky Ramone book.
	♥ 10:43am common: good to hear you, joe. hello all.
	10:43am Cecile: the only band who IME got really torqued off about the wrong use of "the" were Cows.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Hey, common! @Cecile: At least I didn't say "The Dust." Yet.
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Prince. The Motorhead.
	10:44am Cecile: I think everyone else is just happy you got their name right. It's like saying "mister" or "missus". "Hello, The Carpenters" "S'ok, just Carpenters"
	10:45am Cecile: this is the best refrain ever.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: Only Talking Heads every got annoyed enough to title an album so that people got it right.
	10:46am Cecile: Okay, them too.
	♥ 10:46am Brian in UK: Oh THE Pink Floyd. Which one's THE.
	10:47am Parq: College pals of mine called their intramural basketball team "Eraserhead" (the movie was newly out at the time). The league managers listed them in all the schedules, etc., as "The Eraserheads". They weren't happy. Joe, true. And it didn't work.
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @Parq: Ha ha! At least they weren't the Pencilnecks.
	10:48am Cecile: I see a shotgun wedding and community college in your future.
	10:50am Melinda: The Willie!
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Melinda: Ha!
	10:51am sphere: The world would be a much poorer place if Willie had just stuck to songwriting.
	10:52am DeaconDave: Hee Haaaaa!
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: Shoulda played this one after the "tie me to a tree" one!
	10:53am Listener Robert: I would tend to automatically supply "The" as well, because otherwise they'd sound generic. "By Talking Heads" makes it sound like a description rather than a name attribution. I guess that's what they were after.... Where I would NOT apply "The" would be where it's obvious word play was intended, like Miss Vickie's "People Like Us", so you can say it's "by people like us". (Sorry, I can't help supplying the "Miss" before her name either, just as a little jokey allusion.)
	♥ 10:54am Marcel M: @Joe: A good kind of WFMU moment!
	10:54am Brendan: El works too
	10:55am V Priceless: yeah baby!!!
	10:55am DeaconDave: Rock me mama!
	♥ 10:55am Marcel M: This is a single file for the ages!
	♥ 10:55am Ken From Hyde Park: How about the football players that announce that their college was THE Ohio State?
	10:56am DeaconDave: "Once was" comes to mind
	10:56am Cecile: They should be soundly trounced by the University of Michigan.
	♥ 10:57am ChrisB.: The band Pugwash worked up an impromptu version of Art of Noise's Peter Gunn at their show in Asbury last Thursday. Wild!
	10:57am Listener Robert: Oddly, the "The" has the reverse effect of making that sound like a description rather than a title, "the Ohio state university". See, I don't even put it in caps with that "the" prefacing it, because it doesn't read like a name.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Sounds fun!
	10:58am Melinda: Frankly I was shocked to learn there's no 'the' with Go-Go's. All these years wrong.
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we are not thee representative Talking Heads (meaning a TV commentator who only shows his head & talks) - nor even specific Talking Heads, in fact: we are Art School people named for the Idea of Talking Heads, & reflecting on it...
	10:58am DeaconDave: Would you say "The" Mae West?
	♥ 10:59am Joe McG: @Melinda: I think they might've added it later, but it's not on the first single!
	10:59am Listener Robert: Is it true that Barreracudas also wants no "the"? ISTR reading that somewhere.
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe @ Madam Tousauds...
	♥ 10:59am Polyus: It actually is The Ohio State University. One person said it correctly years ago, a bunch of other people followed.
	♥ 10:59am ChrisB.: The whole "Straight to Hell" soundtrack is pretty fun. The movie, not so much.
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @Chris: I haven't watched it yet and I've had it in my house for almost 15 years. Maybe 2015 will be the year.
	11:01am Brendan: Speaking of (the) Peter Gunn, they are going to do a new Bond song. ...sacrilege
	11:01am DeaconDave: Is Bad Company's Shooting Star based on this Terry Jacks song?
	♥ 11:01am ChrisB.: @Joe: Take your time.
	♥ 11:02am Joe McG: @DeaconDave: Ha ha! But this one is better!
	11:02am Brendan: Is this a b side of seasons in the sun?
	♥ 11:02am Marcel M: This dude was everywhere
	♥ 11:02am Joe McG: @Brendan: No, that's the immortal "Put the Bone In." About a doggie.
	♥ 11:03am ChrisB.: God, what a mopey loser.
	11:03am steve: wsant that horrible "put the bone in" song the b side to seasons in the sun?
	11:03am DeaconDave: Maybe it is The Terry Jacks?
	11:03am Elias: Joe, the 91.1 signal is cutting out, and now just dead air...
	11:04am KP: Sold his guitar? I'm sobbing here
	11:04am sugarwolf: Can Con!
	11:05am the Canterbury wood-elf: When Kevin Ayers (currently on loop behind Joe's voice) was in Soft Machine they were "The Soft Machine". When he left, they dropped the "The". I believe Pink Floyd dropped their "The" around the same time...
	11:05am Chris M.: oh god my alarm clock didn't -- oh ... whew. hey Joe.
	11:06am Brendan: Ah yes the bone in song!
	♥ 11:06am tadpoles: There was a band called The Go Go's : www.thestranger.com... Got usurped I suppose>
	♥ 11:07am Ken From Hyde Park: The Key & Peele football introduction skits beat the real ones.
	11:07am Parq: All this is reminding me of a great bit of dialog from Doug Adams's "Hitchhiker" series. The larger-than-life Zaphod Beeblebrox has just identified himself to a receptionist. Astonished, she says "THE Zaphod Beeblebrox??" "No," he drawls, "just A Zaphod Beeblebrox. Didn't you know I come in six packs?"
	11:09am suea: AH! i was thinking the same thing about the mom rejected from college. times have changed! --> personally grateful.
	11:10am Elias: Hooray, the 91.1 signal is back, no more listening to Carl Banks talk about last night's football game!
	11:13am KP: Kenny Aaronson was also in dust. Awesome bass player and the first on Dylan's never ending tour
	11:14am Cactus Cop: oh nice a double dare
	♥ 11:15am Marcel M: Uh oh...
	11:15am Brendan: Ruh roh
	11:15am Lewis: oh you daring fellow!
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jeeem !
	11:16am Kevlicki: LOL fist banging on the table, THE DOORS
	♥ 11:16am nickybones: hahah you're too much, joe.
	11:16am Kurt Gottschalk: godspeed, king joe, but the doors? i gotta go.
	11:16am suea: i am delighted with this block. my older bro flooded my childhood with this music.
	♥ 11:16am Greg from ZONE 5: Oh! Thought it was Sam Kinison…
	11:16am Cheri Pi: hahahahahaha. I like the Doors.
	11:16am Cecile: oh, I was afraid it was going to be Journey or Meat Loaf. Doors are at least funny, and they rock sometimes.
	11:16am Kevlicki: And you started off with their last and least popular album. This is incredible and I love that Michele was the one that challenged you!
	11:17am Kurt Gottschalk: greg HA
	11:17am V Priceless: hope you've got 'waiting for the sun' on your playlist...
	♥ 11:17am ChrisB.: Oh my.
	11:17am Cecile: I like their version of Alabama Song.
	♥ 11:17am nickybones: joe is the lizard king. he can play anything.
	11:17am Cecile: oh, don't ask why.
	11:18am ?: smoke break
	11:18am the Canterbury wood-elf: Secretly, we all like The Doors. Haven't heard this one for a while...
	11:18am Cecile: the overplayed stuff is painful. The groove stuff is good.
	♥ 11:19am ChrisB.: Who remembers the time Glen Jones hung up on Ray Manzarek during an interview because he was being a world class asshat?
	♥ 11:20am Brian in UK: Joe, is the Lizard King, he can do anything.
	11:20am Kevlicki: Out here in the perimeter There are no stars, Out here we is stoned Immaculate.
	11:21am V Priceless: out here in the perimeter there are no stars...FYI
	♥ 11:21am Brian in UK: Ooops just seen nickybones.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Alice is OK - & the Stooges, Arthur Lee & Love, Bunnymen, Mazzy Star, Jesus & Mary Chain - everybody around them & wouldn't be the same w/out them - but not them... ,,,& we're judging Rawk Stars by how much quality time we'd've liked to spend w/ them? Good Luck w/ that...
	♥ 11:21am Greg from ZONE 5: @ChrisB: Definitely pulling up that archive today.
	11:21am Brendan: My brain is squirming like a toad
	♥ 11:21am ChrisB.: Ray's answer to every question: "You'll have to buy the book."
	11:21am V Priceless: dang Kevlicki..ya beat me to it! ha!
	11:22am Cecile: you know a little faster, and they're the kingsmen.
	11:22am Kevlicki: @the Canterbury wood-elf, yes we were all thirteen at some point
	11:22am Cactus Cop: This is already proving to be quite interesting.
	♥ 11:22am Brian in UK: Waiting for the Sun is good pop.
	11:23am Kevlicki: @v Priceless HA! this is really amusing.
	♥ 11:23am nickybones: ha! great minds, @Brian in UK....
	11:23am Melinda: I kind of like Jim's shouts.
	11:24am Cecile: yeah!
	11:24am Cheri Pi: Right Cecile?
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's the definitive croony Rawk voice to me.
	11:25am Cecile: this is as good as garage rock gets.
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nick Cave took massive notes - admit it Nick.
	♥ 11:25am Greg from ZONE 5: They gypsies had no homes, The Doors had no bass…
	11:25am rw: Haha! Was just wondering, "What's next? I'll bet it's Peace Frog."
	♥ 11:25am Asheville Jon: Celebration of the Lizard! kill about 20 minutes with that
	11:25am V Priceless: 'not to touch the earth' perchance? Does the 'PF' in 'PF Sloan' stand for 'Peace Frog'?
	♥ 11:26am Brian in UK: Joe, the odd thing is as I mentioned last week, been reading Becoming Elektra so there has been some Doors action in the book. They did set up Elektra with their first No.1. Lonnie Mack plays bass on Morrison Hotel, you can hear it.
	11:26am Parq: If you were a pre-teen or a young teen white male during 1967-70, what the Doors mean to you makes whether or not you "like" them kind of irrelevant. It's kind of like asking a white, middle class woman who was 14 or 15 when Tapestry came out whether or not she "likes" it.
	♥ 11:27am ChrisVB: This was the soundtrack to a very formative time in my teenage years. Awesomeness!
	♥ 11:27am ChrisB.: I'm hearing some John Doe here.
	11:27am Cecile: even us 10 years olds were marked by tapestry.
	11:28am Parq: ChrisVB, I can tell from your profile pic that you know exactly what I mean.
	♥ 11:28am Mike East: there used to be a Doors tribute band in NJ called the Soft Parade, who I used to confuse with the Soft Machine, cuz I didn't know any better
	♥ 11:28am Brian in UK: Put in context the first Doors album was released in January '67. That sound was new to most people.
	11:29am Cecile: As for the doors, commercial rock radio rarely played them until the start of the late 70s. Then they were bran' new until about the middle of the 80s when it got ridiculous.
	11:29am Cheri Pi: ...And Def Leppard has no high hat
	11:29am fredr: Nothing wrong with some Doors tracks every now and then.
	11:29am Kevlicki: Oh my god, whats that really terrible Manzarek song post doors
	11:29am BennettCap: Nice
	11:29am Dean: Morrison reminds me of Glen Danzig, or vice versa. At a street fair yesterday I heard a band of young teens struggling with a cover of Danzig's "Mother." Shoot, they should have tried "Riders on the Storm."
	11:29am Cecile: hahahhahahhaha, cheri.
	♥ 11:29am Brian in UK: By the way their name is DOORS.
	11:30am Cecile: Echo and the Bunnymen drank heavily from this well.
	♥ 11:30am Brian in UK: Oh no that's DAWES
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Manzarek produced X. ...'Apocalypse Now' restarted the doors thing seems to me, & then the iffy bio 'No One Here Gets Out Alive'.
	♥ 11:30am Asheville Jon: How about playing some post-Morrison Doors, like Verdillac or The Mosquito
	11:30am Kevlicki: the Solar Boat! www.youtube.com...
	11:31am Lewis: Hittin' the highlights in my mind!
	11:31am KP: This is even worse on two out of sync radios BTW
	11:31am Kevlicki: Val Kilmer was the best band member in the Doors
	11:31am Cheri Pi: The Doors taught little kids how to feel high without taking drugs.
	11:32am brens: love you thanks for Jim. and agreeing with your new schedule
	♥ 11:32am Greg from ZONE 5: Wait, did he just say "I see the bathroom is clear"? I misheard that, right?
	♥ 11:32am tadpoles: Where would we be without the Doors. The first LP is a classic! Just how important Jim was is shown by how bad "Other Voices" is. Cheeky upstarts new band - Dawes.
	11:32am rw: When I used to go to punk shows in the early '80s it seemed 2/3 of the frontmen had a Jim Morrison stance.
	11:32am Jack: Still, their first couple of albums are good; after that it became...erratic? Some really great songs, and then there's these.
	11:33am Kevlicki: I admire how they treated the band as a collective and respect their refusal to their music being used in ads
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'd like to note how much Van Morrison & Them's 1st album prefigures the doors.
	11:34am bobdoesthings: ugh. something tells me this is gonna last till noon....
	11:35am Lewis: Beware the Double Dare!
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: Don't worry, Bob, I'm almost done!
	11:35am Another Chris: Year Eight of this The Doors playlist. I think we have crossed the bridge to Despair. Morale is low.
	11:35am Cecile: Jack, that probably corresponded with Jim's decline.
	11:35am Dean: The Doors jamb!
	♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: They were egalitarian in as much as all publishing and writing credits were split down the middle. Helps keep a band together like U2 whether you like them or not.
	11:36am bobdoesthings: @joe - oh heehhe.. ok cool, haha sorry.I don't mean to be crumudgeny.
	11:36am Brendan: Yeah no doubt the Doors became unhinged after that
	♥ 11:36am crateslinger: Time to see... what Brian Lehrer's up to...
	11:37am Todd-o-phonic: The Feelies know how much I hate The Doors and have been known to dedicate this to me when they perform it as a result. I must admit it is one of The Doors' least intolerable songs.
	11:37am Jack: Also remember: wherever it's raining, some DJ is playing "Riders on the Storm".
	♥ 11:37am Fuzzy: Aw...the cool kids ain't digging this set.
	♥ 11:38am chris: Hi, I'm new here. So happy to have finally found the Doors station on my radio.
	11:38am Another Chris: You can't undo it, Joe. The mark has been made.
	11:38am steve: riiide the snake, to the lake
	11:38am Cecile: hahahahhah, oh jim, you were a magnificent fool.
	11:39am DeaconDave: Throw the Doors out the window!
	11:39am Danne D: I hope Joe does 3 hours of Doors next week to cement his dominance :)
	11:39am Chris M.: "What a mad delusion Livin' in that confusion Frustration an' doubt Can you ever live without the game The sad sad game Mad game" -- Jim Morrison
	♥ 11:39am Brian in UK: Jim was never a musician.
	♥ 11:39am ChrisB.: Will Scott Muni be doing the back announce?
	♥ 11:40am coelacanth: goo morning Joe and everyone
	11:40am steve: Tom Scharpling had a great rant about Jim Morrison - basically he was going on about what horrible product endorsements and TV ads he would be doing now if he were still alive
	11:40am Kevlicki: No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn!
	♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: (Has driven through Morrison, Colorado.)
	11:40am Cecile: the Doors are actually one of Richard Meltzer's very favorite bands.
	11:40am Dean: An hour of "In a gadda da vida" and assorted cover versions might work.
	11:41am Todd-o-phonic: Headline in tomorrow's Daily News: "Doors deluge gets McGasko/Belock tag team off to dubious debut".
	11:41am DeaconDave: How about an hour of AC/DC?
	11:42am Cecile: I'd be down for an hour of AC/DC.
	♥ 11:42am Asheville Jon: yeah DeaconDave, but only post Back In Black AC/DC (YUCK!!!)
	11:42am Dean: This is true, Cecile. Always kinda puzzled me, because I get the impression Meltzer is very sensitive to poseur rock.
	11:42am bobdoesthings: wow.
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in their own time, @ least, they would've said it's an L.A. - NYC thing...
	♥ 11:42am coelacanth: Hahaha!
	11:43am Cecile: Post Back in BLack? Are you kidding? Only pre-!
	11:43am Another Chris: This is Joe's semi annual Heel Turn.
	11:43am Cheri Pi: I love you Michelle
	11:43am Parq: Manz may have been a douche but he had enough of a sense of humor to drop an organ track when Weird Al sent up Craigslist a la the Doors.
	11:43am DeaconDave: and play 5 covers of back in black - if there are any
	♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: Some Nana Mouskouri to soothe the soul would be 'nice'.
	♥ 11:43am Ken From Hyde Park: The only way to undo this is to play them all again, but backwards.
	11:43am Cecile: I think he liked Jim's ambition and the jazz feel to a lot of their songs. He also likes interesting messes, which is so much of what the Doors represent.
	♥ 11:43am Asheville Jon: yes Cecile, hence the YUCK!!! it would HAVE to be Bon Scott era, and nothing off Highway to Hell and no big balls either.
	11:44am Kevlicki: very a-door-able tribute to michele!
	11:44am bobdoesthings: ::phfewwww:: we made it guys! ::hugs all around::
	11:44am Cecile: Highway to Hell is great. I had to get used to it, though. But no Big Balls, for sure.
	♥ 11:45am Greg from ZONE 5: That settles it. I'm stinkbombing SUW's mailbox.
	♥ 11:45am Asheville Jon: (I'm off to find some live AC/DC concerts from the Let There Be Rock era on youtube)
	♥ 11:45am coelacanth: soft parade is almost all abominable crap,except i think wild child is on it.
	11:45am Cecile: A radio station I knew played "Highway to Hell" and "Crazy Train" once a day. I thought that was about right.
	♥ 11:45am Asheville Jon: HtoH is good, but way overplayed
	11:46am Cecile: niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. AJ, you saw that weird French documentary on AC/DC didn't you? It's only on video...
	11:47am Cecile: it's not the same without Mozza gargling over it.
	♥ 11:48am Asheville Jon: did not see the documentary cecile
	♥ 11:49am crateslinger: I was just kidding. Didn't go nowhere. Doors still suck but welcome to Mondays Joe. Nice job.
	11:51am OTB: Roberta Flack did a TOTALLY different version of this tune....
	11:51am Brendan: Joe Unplugged!
	♥ 11:51am coelacanth: the doors had many brilliant moments, despite morrison being an asshole! i'm not sure i could endure an acdc set of any longer duration than that doors set.
	11:54am Parq: Onward. Pretty interesting story behind "First Time Ever", via Wikipedia. Worth checking just for the list of people who've done it. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think AC/CD are pretty great - but not a lot variation there...
	♥ 11:54am Brian in UK: Nice one, Joe. Same time, Thursday?
	11:54am DeaconDave: AC/CD?
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the same for The AC/DC...
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! @everyone: Thanks for keeping me company on my first Monday morning show. I'll be with you again next Monday! Have a great week!
	11:55am Cecile: www.imdb.com... It's kind of revealing. You see Bon quite unhappy, and Angus subtly squeezing him out of the band. From what I've read, he was considering moving on. before he passed.
	11:56am DeaconDave: Ha!
	♥ 11:56am Polyus: RIP Gary Richrath, for you REO fans. And I know you're out there.
	♥ 11:57am coelacanth: RR -that's why i feel as i do. there's nothing i dislike about acdc, but it gets really tedious.
	11:57am Cecile: aw, that poor guy. Drugs ran him into the ground.
	11:57am Parq: I almost switched over to the Drummer stream for Busy Doing Nothing. Gonna take a while to lose that reflex.
	11:57am OTB: @Parq - that is interesting. I can see why Ewan MacColl might not have been crazy about other versions. 'Berta's has a thing about it, tho....
	11:57am bobdoesthings: thanks joe!!
	11:58am Dean: That explains why the campus station was playing REO this morning.
	11:58am V Priceless: thanks for breaking on thru to Mondays, Joe! Cheers!
	♥ 11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe! (Now on to the next Joe!)
	11:59am DeaconDave: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth: Thanks Joe!
	11:59am Dean: So you're saying this is The End?
	11:59am DeaconDave: I'm not sure I can deal with 2 Joes
	♥ 11:59am Fuzzy: Good show! Double-Joe Mondays will be cool!
	11:59am βrian: Jeff Golick should be up, though for one hour. Monday needs a little more afternoon love.
	11:59am Brendan: He' ridin' the storm out. A rider on the storm.
	♥ 11:59am Asheville Jon: Cecile, i did see that (it's also on youtube). look up the 1978 colchester concert. stage barely big enough for the band. rocks! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:00pm Asheville Jon: and the Doors closes on Joe's show. thanks!
	12:00pm Santos L Halper: Thanks Joe, nice to have you on any day of the week. And nice to hear the Doors : )
	12:00pm P-90: Thynx!
	12:00pm Brendan: Killer show Joe. You are the man.
	12:00pm Claw!: Tanks, Joe!
