	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: @Claw!: I like it more than the Bill Conti original!
	9:37am Claw!: I gotta track down a copy of this. It's perfect for playing after making sweet love.
	9:37am Listener Scott: Best part was Chefchaouen (google-image "blue city" + morocco for a hint). Enjoyed it all though (Fez, Essaouira, El Jadida, Marrakech).
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @Scott: Wow, looks amazing!
	9:41am Claw!: HELL YES
	♥ 9:42am Guido from Cologne: amazing collection of soundtrack 45es!
	9:42am Listener Scott: When I describe The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh to people they usually refuse to believe it because it sounds like you just made it up.
	9:42am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:42am Claw!: Whaddap, Fox?
	♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park: This is like six single file segments in a row.
	9:44am Santos L Halper: Wow, don't know if I've heard this since the movie came out. Thanks!
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: Hey, bobdt! Hey Santos LH!
	9:45am Cecile: I remember the first time I heard this song. Still great.
	9:46am Santos L Halper: The Fish that is. Heard this car wash song once or twice: ) but still great
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: I've never actually seen "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh," but I've seen "Car Wash" about 80 times.
	♥ 9:50am Ken From Hyde Park: "Car Wash" version from the 2004 Shark Tale movie: youtu.be...
	♥ 9:50am Polyus: pilots blimp into the Super Bowl
	9:52am OTB: Bowie's tune was/is far superior to the movie it came from....
	♥ 9:53am Wendy del Formaggio: Just tuning in now. It looks like I missed a lot of great stuff, but I'm sure you have a whole stack o' goodness for us, Joe. Okay, back to work with me. These articles won't write themselves...
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: @Ken: Oh, dear! @OTB: I agree, although Natasha Kinski isn't unpleasant. Hi, Wendy!
	9:55am sugarwolf: Hi! I overslept and missed the first half hour :(
	9:57am βrian: Another bed-head checking in.
	♥ 9:58am James in ATL: Great job with the 45s Joe! Thanks for a great start to the week.
	9:58am Claw!: Party poopers, indeed, Joe. Call em out!
	10:00am Cecile: original Cat People is wonderful. Creepy.
	10:01am bobdoesthings: pshhhffff pisces are not usually competitive. does not hold up!
	10:01am davefromtoronto: i saw it in the theatre but don't remember if it was good. hope that helps! great show BTW
	10:01am OTB: Joe, yeah. Natasha was not painful to look at back then....
	10:03am Cecile: I skated to that. Oy.
	10:03am KP: Kinski "Cat People" is wonderful. Don't mess with my Natassja!
	10:04am djsheilab: Love love love Cactus Flower! Morning Joe and everyone!
	10:04am Cecile: it is short lived!
	10:04am βrian: Algernon was the rat.
	10:05am Roberto: Algernon was a mouse.
	♥ 10:05am Ken From Hyde Park: We had to read "Flowers For Algernon" in school. I forget what grade that was for.
	10:05am Cecile: yes
	♥ 10:05am Mike East: flowers for algernon made me cry as a kid. I should watch that film. Was just referencing to my wife for some reason and she hadn't read it.
	10:05am BenUno-AirLogic: Haha I do remember reading about Charly years ago. I'l also have to peep this playlist later so I can cop that "Black Sunday" theme.
	10:05am Yerba Mate: Dunno about the movie but Black Sunday novel (from the silence of the lambs writer) was pretty good, made me permanently afraid of large crowds.
	10:05am thedunkel: Rollerball remake with LL COOL J
	10:06am Cecile: It started as a short story, and then padded out to novel length
	10:06am Cecile: won a ton of Nebula and Hugo awards.
	10:06am Listener Scott: Rollerball remake was atrocious.
	10:07am annie: "Joe" was my introduction to peter boyle.. and FfA was the greatest movie... yes, the rat died
	10:07am annie: cecile-<3
	10:07am KP: I saw Mama Lion. That's it
	♥ 10:07am Guido from Cologne: it was american international
	10:07am sugarwolf: We read the Flowers for Algernon short story in middle school.
	10:07am Roberto: The rat who was actually a mouse died.
	♥ 10:07am Stevel: Original Rollerball is one of my favorite 2.5-star movies. Such a cool premise. Not an excellent film, but it didn't have to be.
	10:07am djsheilab: @polyus was that the event that happened a couple weeks ago? It sounds like the WFMU Rock N' Soul Ichiban party at El Cortez in Bushwick.
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: @SheilaB: So bummed I missed your set out last night! The Chapman show here ran really late (after midnight) and I was bushed. I'll catch you again soon!!
	10:10am Grok-o-matic: Let's Spend The Night Together is such a great song. This is a really cool cover.
	♥ 10:10am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and everybody! Who better to kick off Singles Going Steady week? Kinda on the nose.
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: Hey, Greg! I sure do like playing these little buggers.
	10:13am Roberto: Yes! Three hours of LSTNT!
	10:13am Grok-o-matic: Oh man, looks like I missed the theme to MAS*H. Been super excited about Singles Going Steady.
	♥ 10:13am Polyus: @SheilaB: Nope, it was just last night. The venue was HiFi, in Manhattan.
	♥ 10:13am doctorjazz: Hi all!
	10:13am OTB: Ah, the Ed Sullivan Show lyric....
	10:15am Benny P: Go Go GO JOE
	♥ 10:15am Stevel: "Let's be close together but certainly not close enough for sexual activity, no sir".
	10:17am djsheilab: No worries Joe! There'll be many more. T'was a fun gig once I got to play ;) (had to wait for the Mets game to finish).
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Sheilab: Well, at least the mood afterwards was celebratory! :)
	10:19am Bronwyn Bishop: That Bowie tune was great and so is this cover
	♥ 10:19am Guido from Cologne: The Rotaries! So good ...
	♥ 10:19am doctorjazz: Great Stones cover set!
	♥ 10:20am JtotheK: hi everybody!
	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: Hey, Bronywyn, Stevel, doc, JtoK, Benny, Grok!
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: Matt Fiveash, my guest this morning, just observed that this Alexis Korner track sounds A LOT like "The Joker"!
	10:24am Marcel M: 35 mins to go till I can leave my van... Damn meter maids!!!!
	10:26am djsheilab: Your 45 collection is insane!!! WOW.
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: @shiela: Not a patch on yours, lady!
	10:27am Grok-o-matic: Ha, this is fantastic!
	10:28am Bronwyn Bishop: This is great!
	♥ 10:29am Stevel: 19th Nervous Breakdown/Jason and the Scorchers. Not necessarily a request, just a favorite Stones cover.
	♥ 10:31am Greg from ZONE 5: Guest stars!!
	10:31am Brendan: Greetings from the Great Smokies Joe. I came around a ridge and caught your stream.
	10:33am Marcel M: You can say, "its a bitch" on the radio, right? Like, "life's a bitch" ??
	10:33am Marcel M: WFMU makes me rethink cursing in songs I write
	♥ 10:38am Mike East: caught an on air curse on fmu yesterday
	10:38am KP: "Spend" is listed as part of a double-A side but at least here in New York, "Ruby Tuesday" was huge, a No. 1.
	10:38am marianne!: Hey Guys ! I look forward to this singles week all year. What a treat to hear Matt on the airwaves too
	♥ 10:40am common: we really do have to rock it till the night is gone. hey joe and all!
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: Hey common! Hey Marianne! Hey Mike!
	10:41am Marcel M: Oh snap, give the drummer some
	10:42am Joe B: what a great show!
	♥ 10:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Chuck Berry - 89 yesterday.
	10:43am bobdoesthings: give the drummer some terrestrial airtime
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: Hey Joe B!
	♥ 10:49am Guido from Cologne: How many versions died The Pirates record?
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Guido: Not sure, but at least two or three!
	♥ 10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This one's kewl cause it's still Rawkabillyish but deffo post-'Live @ Leeds'...
	10:52am V Priceless: the 'oo!
	♥ 10:52am Guido from Cologne: I know about three. The original, a mid-60ies organ-heavy version and this revival version which I hadn't heard before.
	10:52am Cecile: Mr. Belock, you have mail.
	10:53am Grok-o-matic: All the early Maximum R&B stuff is my fave Who stuff. Much more some than the lengthy conceptual stuff they did later on. Even though that stuff is still good too.
	♥ 10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Know what you Grok...but I always say - if you can Rawk as hard as they do on 'Quadrophenia' - then we can talk...
	♥ 10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what you *mean...
	10:55am Guerin: Great set!
	10:57am Cecile: YES! That shit is punishing. As tough as GoF on the guitars at time.
	10:58am Cecile: Vic Maile, who did great things for Motorhead and Girlschool.
	10:58am Sean B.: Had to chime in to say this show is quite a treat today! @JoeMcG Thanx!.
	♥ 11:02am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying it, Sean!
	11:03am Will: Just resting in the afterglow. It's faster than the LP version but much murkier (mono?).
	11:03am Todd-o-phonic: Damn, I might have to play "Afterglow" on Saturday. I am not listening to this show, that is a completely original idea on my part.
	♥ 11:08am Joe McG: Ha ha, Todd!
	♥ 11:08am doctorjazz: Archies in the Islands, ya mon!
	11:09am Claw!: Your show today has been so fun, Joe!
	11:09am "ohh: that was very over driven /distorted when it was made or is it just that particular faces 45? or is the whole nutgone LP sound like it as i never heard it although remvber couldve bought the round LP back whwn at E.J.Korvettes on S.I.
	♥ 11:11am Joe McG: Thanks, Claw! @Will/ohh: It's a different version also, not the same as the LP one. They probably mastered it really hot for the 45 also.
	11:13am Todd-o-phonic: Jeff Sarge just called. He wants his show back.
	♥ 11:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also much longer fade-out. Only picked up on 'Ogden's...' in the CD era - & thot it very poorly mastered indeed, especially for such a rich interesting album. They've probably Remastered it...
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @Rabbit: Fake-a-roo fade out!
	11:21am pgw in mntclr: i couldn't figure out why i recognized the lyrics to "Hurts So Good." then, with a little help from wiki, i realized it was because Trouble played the Susan Cadogan version recently.
	11:24am Cecile: who said that? That's ridiculous!
	11:24am Cecile: UB40?
	11:26am BriJet: Helloooo
	♥ 11:26am Polyus: I read somewhere that Bobby Bland started using the snort after a tonsillectomy messed up his voice. He picked it up from hearing preachers do it. I always found it kind of disturbing.
	♥ 11:31am doctorjazz: Man, never heard this Purple Haze, scuze me...
	11:31am Cecile: wow this is odd and really pretty.
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: Thanks to everyone who has pledged to the program earlier this month and today in case you missed my on-air thank you!
	11:32am Cecile: Almost like a Nick Drake version before Nick Drake started recording..
	♥ 11:32am Guido from Cologne: Dion doing Tropicalia?
	11:33am Brendan: The guy doing purple haze sounded like a ringer for Jim Sullivan
	11:34am Cooh John: Excellent come back Mike
	11:37am Joe B: wow, so many excellent covers on this playlist!
	11:38am lloyd michigan: Dion is alive and well in Boca Raton, FL.
	11:38am Sean B.: I do, however, have to thank that beatnick guy @MattF for introducing me to Wilbert Harrison;No words can express how great an artist that man was and always will be. And that version of Purple Haze was the bomb!.
	11:38am Grok-o-matic: Hmm, did not realize Pink Floyd totally ripped this on their Atom Heart Mother LP.
	11:40am Cooh John: We got a really going on.
	11:41am KP: Great Herman's Hermits track! For some reason this has been around lately
	♥ 11:42am Guido from Cologne: Great show! CU!
	11:43am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: including this cover of "Double Shot"!
	11:43am Sean B.: That's pretty raw for Herman's Hermit's I must say.
	11:44am V Priceless: ha @ "Double Shot of My Baby's Love" - woo!
	11:45am frenchee: This is one of my favorite Crunch Time events. Hi Matt, hi Joe!
	♥ 11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...is it 'Garage', or be it 'Frat' ? Uninquiring minds care not...)
	11:46am Carmichael: ockin' Rebels are one of my favorite surf bands, along with The Lively Ones. Hiya Joe & Matt.
	11:46am Parq: Before it gets any later, want to check in and say great show! Way-dug the movie 45s set and the rest of the show stayed right up at that level.
	11:49am "ohh: rockin' rebels The Cars here she comes again nod...Great Show.....
	11:50am Lewis: I love Louis Prima!
	11:52am Claw!: Meee toooo!
	11:52am northguineahills: I'm suddenly hungry!
	11:53am mg: Nice. I love this dirty little ditty of Dinah's.
	11:54am Claw!: Meeee toooo!
	11:54am frenchee: Nothin' could be finah....than Dinah!
	11:54am Cecile: Hey-YO!
	11:55am sugarwolf: Does the dental plan cover this???
	♥ 11:55am Polyus: I am getting a little embarrassed over here.
	11:55am Unclear on the concept: A person could take the lyrics of this song about the dentist more than one way.
	11:56am Todd-o-phonic: Nice! A song by that obscure New Orleans artist that nobody but Freddy Cannon talks about!
	♥ 11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody! See you next week for something totally different: My "Raga Rock" special!
	11:58am Todd-o-phonic: Sorry Joe, just booked travel for next week!
	11:58am Cecile: this is a classic
	12:01pm Claw!: Tanks, Joe! Have a great week!

	♥ 9:15am Joe McG: Hi, Claw! Hi, Polyus!
	♥ 9:22am Polyus: My friend, who knows nothing about WFMU, is visiting NYC right now, and ended up at some function that a bunch of DJs were spinning at - Fine Wine, Dave the Spazz, Rex, Debbie D. Anybody go?
	9:25am Claw!: This is good getting-ready-for-work music.
	9:26am OTB: Morning Mr. McGasko! Morning fellow listeners!
	♥ 9:28am Joe McG: @Polyus: I'm shamed to say I actually don't know what that was! Hi, OTB!

	9:32am Claw!: Noice!
	9:33am Listener Scott: Thanks for the soft reentry home Joe, been in Morocco for 2+ weeks. Just what I needed this AM.
	9:34am OTB: This arrangement of the MASH theme has really been growing on me over the years. Used to think it was really dopey...
	♥ 9:34am Joe McG: Hey Cooh John! Wow, Listener Scott, I'm jealous! What was the best part?
	9:35am Claw!: Nice version of this one :-)
	♥ 9:36am Polyus: runs to the top of the stairs, fists raised in triumph
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: @Claw!: I like it more than the Bill Conti original!
	9:37am Claw!: I gotta track down a copy of this. It's perfect for playing after making sweet love.
	9:37am Listener Scott: Best part was Chefchaouen (google-image "blue city" + morocco for a hint). Enjoyed it all though (Fez, Essaouira, El Jadida, Marrakech).
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @Scott: Wow, looks amazing!
	9:41am Claw!: HELL YES
	♥ 9:42am Guido from Cologne: amazing collection of soundtrack 45es!
	9:42am Listener Scott: When I describe The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh to people they usually refuse to believe it because it sounds like you just made it up.
	9:42am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:42am Claw!: Whaddap, Fox?
	♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park: This is like six single file segments in a row.
	9:44am Santos L Halper: Wow, don't know if I've heard this since the movie came out. Thanks!
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: Hey, bobdt! Hey Santos LH!
	9:45am Cecile: I remember the first time I heard this song. Still great.
	9:46am Santos L Halper: The Fish that is. Heard this car wash song once or twice: ) but still great
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: I've never actually seen "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh," but I've seen "Car Wash" about 80 times.
	♥ 9:50am Ken From Hyde Park: "Car Wash" version from the 2004 Shark Tale movie: youtu.be...
	♥ 9:50am Polyus: pilots blimp into the Super Bowl
	9:52am OTB: Bowie's tune was/is far superior to the movie it came from....
	♥ 9:53am Wendy del Formaggio: Just tuning in now. It looks like I missed a lot of great stuff, but I'm sure you have a whole stack o' goodness for us, Joe. Okay, back to work with me. These articles won't write themselves...
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: @Ken: Oh, dear! @OTB: I agree, although Natasha Kinski isn't unpleasant. Hi, Wendy!
	9:55am sugarwolf: Hi! I overslept and missed the first half hour :(

	10:01am davefromtoronto: i saw it in the theatre but don't remember if it was good. hope that helps! great show BTW
	10:01am OTB: Joe, yeah. Natasha was not painful to look at back then....
	10:03am Cecile: I skated to that. Oy.
	10:03am KP: Kinski "Cat People" is wonderful. Don't mess with my Natassja!
	10:04am djsheilab: Love love love Cactus Flower! Morning Joe and everyone!
	10:04am Cecile: it is short lived!
	10:04am βrian: Algernon was the rat.
	10:05am Roberto: Algernon was a mouse.
	♥ 10:05am Ken From Hyde Park: We had to read "Flowers For Algernon" in school. I forget what grade that was for.
	10:05am Cecile: yes
	♥ 10:05am Mike East: flowers for algernon made me cry as a kid. I should watch that film. Was just referencing to my wife for some reason and she hadn't read it.
	10:05am BenUno-AirLogic: Haha I do remember reading about Charly years ago. I'l also have to peep this playlist later so I can cop that "Black Sunday" theme.
	10:05am Yerba Mate: Dunno about the movie but Black Sunday novel (from the silence of the lambs writer) was pretty good, made me permanently afraid of large crowds.
	10:05am thedunkel: Rollerball remake with LL COOL J
	10:06am Cecile: It started as a short story, and then padded out to novel length
	10:06am Cecile: won a ton of Nebula and Hugo awards.
	10:06am Listener Scott: Rollerball remake was atrocious.
	10:07am annie: "Joe" was my introduction to peter boyle.. and FfA was the greatest movie... yes, the rat died

	10:07am sugarwolf: We read the Flowers for Algernon short story in middle school.
	10:07am Roberto: The rat who was actually a mouse died.
	♥ 10:07am Stevel: Original Rollerball is one of my favorite 2.5-star movies. Such a cool premise. Not an excellent film, but it didn't have to be.
	10:07am djsheilab: @polyus was that the event that happened a couple weeks ago? It sounds like the WFMU Rock N' Soul Ichiban party at El Cortez in Bushwick.
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: @SheilaB: So bummed I missed your set out last night! The Chapman show here ran really late (after midnight) and I was bushed. I'll catch you again soon!!
	10:10am Grok-o-matic: Let's Spend The Night Together is such a great song. This is a really cool cover.
	♥ 10:10am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and everybody! Who better to kick off Singles Going Steady week? Kinda on the nose.
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: Hey, Greg! I sure do like playing these little buggers.
	10:13am Roberto: Yes! Three hours of LSTNT!
	10:13am Grok-o-matic: Oh man, looks like I missed the theme to MAS*H. Been super excited about Singles Going Steady.

	♥ 10:13am doctorjazz: Hi all!
	10:13am OTB: Ah, the Ed Sullivan Show lyric....
	10:15am Benny P: Go Go GO JOE
	♥ 10:15am Stevel: "Let's be close together but certainly not close enough for sexual activity, no sir".
	10:17am djsheilab: No worries Joe! There'll be many more. T'was a fun gig once I got to play ;) (had to wait for the Mets game to finish).
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Sheilab: Well, at least the mood afterwards was celebratory! :)
	10:19am Bronwyn Bishop: That Bowie tune was great and so is this cover
	♥ 10:19am Guido from Cologne: The Rotaries! So good ...
	♥ 10:19am doctorjazz: Great Stones cover set!

	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: Hey, Bronywyn, Stevel, doc, JtoK, Benny, Grok!
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: Matt Fiveash, my guest this morning, just observed that this Alexis Korner track sounds A LOT like "The Joker"!
	10:24am Marcel M: 35 mins to go till I can leave my van... Damn meter maids!!!!
	10:26am djsheilab: Your 45 collection is insane!!! WOW.
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: @shiela: Not a patch on yours, lady!
	10:27am Grok-o-matic: Ha, this is fantastic!
	10:28am Bronwyn Bishop: This is great!
	♥ 10:29am Stevel: 19th Nervous Breakdown/Jason and the Scorchers. Not necessarily a request, just a favorite Stones cover.
	♥ 10:31am Greg from ZONE 5: Guest stars!!
	10:31am Brendan: Greetings from the Great Smokies Joe. I came around a ridge and caught your stream.
	10:33am Marcel M: You can say, "its a bitch" on the radio, right? Like, "life's a bitch" ??
	10:33am Marcel M: WFMU makes me rethink cursing in songs I write
	♥ 10:38am Mike East: caught an on air curse on fmu yesterday
	10:38am KP: "Spend" is listed as part of a double-A side but at least here in New York, "Ruby Tuesday" was huge, a No. 1.
	10:38am marianne!: Hey Guys ! I look forward to this singles week all year. What a treat to hear Matt on the airwaves too
	♥ 10:40am common: we really do have to rock it till the night is gone. hey joe and all!
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: Hey common! Hey Marianne! Hey Mike!
	10:41am Marcel M: Oh snap, give the drummer some
	10:42am Joe B: what a great show!
	♥ 10:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Chuck Berry - 89 yesterday.
	10:43am bobdoesthings: give the drummer some terrestrial airtime
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: Hey Joe B!
	♥ 10:49am Guido from Cologne: How many versions died The Pirates record?
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Guido: Not sure, but at least two or three!
	♥ 10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This one's kewl cause it's still Rawkabillyish but deffo post-'Live @ Leeds'...
	10:52am V Priceless: the 'oo!
	♥ 10:52am Guido from Cologne: I know about three. The original, a mid-60ies organ-heavy version and this revival version which I hadn't heard before.
	10:52am Cecile: Mr. Belock, you have mail.
	10:53am Grok-o-matic: All the early Maximum R&B stuff is my fave Who stuff. Much more some than the lengthy conceptual stuff they did later on. Even though that stuff is still good too.
	♥ 10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Know what you Grok...but I always say - if you can Rawk as hard as they do on 'Quadrophenia' - then we can talk...
	♥ 10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what you *mean...
	10:55am Guerin: Great set!
	10:57am Cecile: YES! That shit is punishing. As tough as GoF on the guitars at time.
	10:58am Cecile: Vic Maile, who did great things for Motorhead and Girlschool.
	10:58am Sean B.: Had to chime in to say this show is quite a treat today! @JoeMcG Thanx!.
	♥ 11:02am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying it, Sean!
	11:03am Will: Just resting in the afterglow. It's faster than the LP version but much murkier (mono?).
	11:03am Todd-o-phonic: Damn, I might have to play "Afterglow" on Saturday. I am not listening to this show, that is a completely original idea on my part.
	♥ 11:08am Joe McG: Ha ha, Todd!
	♥ 11:08am doctorjazz: Archies in the Islands, ya mon!
	11:09am Claw!: Your show today has been so fun, Joe!
	11:09am "ohh: that was very over driven /distorted when it was made or is it just that particular faces 45? or is the whole nutgone LP sound like it as i never heard it although remvber couldve bought the round LP back whwn at E.J.Korvettes on S.I.
	♥ 11:11am Joe McG: Thanks, Claw! @Will/ohh: It's a different version also, not the same as the LP one. They probably mastered it really hot for the 45 also.
	11:13am Todd-o-phonic: Jeff Sarge just called. He wants his show back.
	♥ 11:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also much longer fade-out. Only picked up on 'Ogden's...' in the CD era - & thot it very poorly mastered indeed, especially for such a rich interesting album. They've probably Remastered it...
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @Rabbit: Fake-a-roo fade out!
	11:21am pgw in mntclr: i couldn't figure out why i recognized the lyrics to "Hurts So Good." then, with a little help from wiki, i realized it was because Trouble played the Susan Cadogan version recently.
	11:24am Cecile: who said that? That's ridiculous!
	11:24am Cecile: UB40?
	11:26am BriJet: Helloooo
	♥ 11:26am Polyus: I read somewhere that Bobby Bland started using the snort after a tonsillectomy messed up his voice. He picked it up from hearing preachers do it. I always found it kind of disturbing.
	♥ 11:31am doctorjazz: Man, never heard this Purple Haze, scuze me...
	11:31am Cecile: wow this is odd and really pretty.
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: Thanks to everyone who has pledged to the program earlier this month and today in case you missed my on-air thank you!
	11:32am Cecile: Almost like a Nick Drake version before Nick Drake started recording..
	♥ 11:32am Guido from Cologne: Dion doing Tropicalia?
	11:33am Brendan: The guy doing purple haze sounded like a ringer for Jim Sullivan
	11:34am Cooh John: Excellent come back Mike
	11:37am Joe B: wow, so many excellent covers on this playlist!
	11:38am lloyd michigan: Dion is alive and well in Boca Raton, FL.
	11:38am Sean B.: I do, however, have to thank that beatnick guy @MattF for introducing me to Wilbert Harrison;No words can express how great an artist that man was and always will be. And that version of Purple Haze was the bomb!.
	11:38am Grok-o-matic: Hmm, did not realize Pink Floyd totally ripped this on their Atom Heart Mother LP.
	11:40am Cooh John: We got a really going on.
	11:41am KP: Great Herman's Hermits track! For some reason this has been around lately
	♥ 11:42am Guido from Cologne: Great show! CU!
	11:43am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: including this cover of "Double Shot"!
	11:43am Sean B.: That's pretty raw for Herman's Hermit's I must say.
	11:44am V Priceless: ha @ "Double Shot of My Baby's Love" - woo!
	11:45am frenchee: This is one of my favorite Crunch Time events. Hi Matt, hi Joe!
	♥ 11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...is it 'Garage', or be it 'Frat' ? Uninquiring minds care not...)
	11:46am Carmichael: ockin' Rebels are one of my favorite surf bands, along with The Lively Ones. Hiya Joe & Matt.
	11:46am Parq: Before it gets any later, want to check in and say great show! Way-dug the movie 45s set and the rest of the show stayed right up at that level.
	11:49am "ohh: rockin' rebels The Cars here she comes again nod...Great Show.....
	11:50am Lewis: I love Louis Prima!
	11:52am Claw!: Meee toooo!
	11:52am northguineahills: I'm suddenly hungry!
	11:53am mg: Nice. I love this dirty little ditty of Dinah's.
	11:54am Claw!: Meeee toooo!
	11:54am frenchee: Nothin' could be finah....than Dinah!
	11:54am Cecile: Hey-YO!
	11:55am sugarwolf: Does the dental plan cover this???
	♥ 11:55am Polyus: I am getting a little embarrassed over here.
	11:55am Unclear on the concept: A person could take the lyrics of this song about the dentist more than one way.
	11:56am Todd-o-phonic: Nice! A song by that obscure New Orleans artist that nobody but Freddy Cannon talks about!
	♥ 11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody! See you next week for something totally different: My "Raga Rock" special!
	11:58am Todd-o-phonic: Sorry Joe, just booked travel for next week!
