Listener comments!
	9:04am PKNY: G'TZAG Joe and everybody!
	♥ 9:04am fred: Good morning Joe. And thanks for the Neil Young start
	♥ 9:05am Marcel M: Monday morning song! Morning, Joe. Did you wake up with this blaring through your skull?
	9:06am pierre: Ciao Joe !
	9:07am Brendan: Hi Joe. Last dance is first. It's Monday and I hope I can make it to the last dance but first I have to last.
	♥ 9:07am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy boing boing birthday, Frangry. And also to Dilma Rousseff in Brazil (and any other birthday celebrators today).
	9:08am annie: .... listening.
	♥ 9:08am MD: Hello Mr Joe et.al! I am getting the Monday morning Feel with NEIL! Thank You!
	♥ 9:08am Joe McG: Good morning, folks! @Marcel: Yes, "Wake up! Wake up! It's Monday morning..."
	9:11am Claw!: Buenas mornings, Amigo-Friends!
	♥ 9:12am Ken From Hyde Park: Please remind DJ Sheila B to finish her show Friday with "Feels Like the First Time" from Journey. That should complement Neil Young's work here and wrap things up in a neat little package. Or it'll just ruin everything. I'm not a disc jockey myself and my suggestion may just be a big mistake.
	♥ 9:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...feels like need incense - kind w/ a big smelly piece of wood in the center...some ablution or kind of Sacrifice...
	♥ 9:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Journey is a mistake.
	9:13am KP: Neil Young, Joni Mitchell ... is today Canadian Christmas?
	9:14am Brendan: I think Jeffrey Dahmer covered this song except he called it "A suitcase full of you"
	♥ 9:14am Ken From Hyde Park: @RRN63 - There you go. I should've said Foreigner. Hoo boy.
	♥ 9:14am Guido from Cologne: Good morning Joe!
	9:15am fxo: hello Joe McG.
	9:17am the Canterbury wood-elf: Hey, wow, some '67 Fairport I've not heard before! Life is good! Thanks, Joe...
	♥ 9:17am Joe McG: Hey, fxo! Hi to all...
	9:17am Roberto: Wow, another great version of BSN!
	9:18am Jeezy: Please play something crappy. I have to stop and get to my AM meditation!
	9:20am V Priceless: Hey Joe!
	9:21am Cheri Pi: Joe and friends! I can't believe it's Monday already
	9:27am Brendan: I like how he plays that stringy thingy
	9:38am pierre: is it a bed music?
	9:41am Gsus: What is this nice background music?
	♥ 9:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Therese conducted a fine Christmas show just hours ago, so that is out there now.
	♥ 9:43am fred: Salut Pierre! Long time no see
	9:48am pierre: @ fred : indeed. I was @le petit bain yesterday for Anna Von Hausswolfe and The Group, I thought I was going to meet you there .
	9:48am Cecile: hola!
	9:49am Cecile: do not play this at the right speed if this is the wrong speed.
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: We'll try this again at the right speed shortly. This is my tribute to the Chipmunks' Christmas.
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: @Cecile: Why not?
	9:51am Cecile: ok, it was so much better at the fast speed.
	9:51am Cheri Pi: both versions sound great
	9:52am Cheri Pi: Cecile!
	9:52am Cecile: the first one sounded more insane, so therefore it appealed to me more.
	9:52am Cecile: PI!
	♥ 9:52am Garth: I like it at 45. I love it at 33
	♥ 9:53am Marcel M: I like the comparison between both speeds!
	9:53am Brendan: I prefer slowed down swampy sounding especially on those high register voices.
	♥ 9:53am Guido from Cologne: can you play it at both speeds at once?
	♥ 9:53am Guido from Cologne: how about 78 rpm?
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: Wow, Guido, I'm lucky if I can play it at ONE speed at once! But 78 we can try!
	9:54am Cheri Pi: Can you play it backwards?
	9:54am Cecile: now make a dub version
	♥ 9:55am Marcel M: Hinds have a cool sound. Reminiscent of Spector type sounds but with a modern vibe.
	♥ 9:55am Marcel M: HAHAHAH! Joe you are the best!
	♥ 9:55am Guido from Cologne: perfect!
	9:55am Ear Hammer: Digging all this Hinds -- very summery tunes for a balmy December day.
	♥ 9:56am Garth: 16 1/2?
	♥ 9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's like a Chipmunks-BananaSplits Supergroup - all I could want for Easter...
	9:58am brian: Only on fmu - the fast version sounds more "urgent" - but normal is great too! great mistake dj!
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: Hammer!
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @brian: I believe in lemonade.
	10:00am brian: ha!
	10:03am suea: don't miss cassettes! nope! confirmed today. thnx
	♥ 10:04am MD: WOW AND FLUTTER!!! ALMOST AS GOOD A PEANUTBUTTER AND JELLY!! Just think...a whole generation will never know what "Wow And Flutter was!!!
	10:04am βrian: This has a pleasant jangle. Good morning.
	♥ 10:04am MD: From here on out!!!
	10:04am bobdoesthings: goodmorng
	10:05am βrian: Pre-espresso orthography, I assume.
	10:07am Brendan: That cassette started a bit queasy but hey didn't we all today. You're doin fine Joe!
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: @Brian: I don't drink espresso, so we can say Monday morning ugh.
	♥ 10:07am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, all!
	♥ 10:08am fred: @Pierre: I should have been there, but I stupidly got injured, so I'm pretty much grounded these days. I can walk, but the pain takes hours to subside
	♥ 10:10am MD: Actually that was just tape drag...Wow And Flutter is about "Rekids"...!!!
	♥ 10:12am fred: @Pierre: Espace B is gone now, that's a serious loss
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @MD: Actually it was pitch control issues. People like to play with it here, so a DJ must be vigilant, sometimes in the middle of a song.
	♥ 10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...baking a tape is on my bucketlist...
	10:15am V Priceless: been on a Segall bender last few days..good stuff
	10:15am Brendan: The name Beach Bullies reminded me of these ridiculous Charles Atlas ads in the back of comic books about the guy kicking sand in another guys face: http://projectbulk.wadekwon.com/files/2012/09/charles-atlas-ad.jpg
	10:15am bobdoesthings: HAH! ty-rex. I get it
	10:18am nEIL cOMMA wILD: The Department Store Santas have excellent fuzz tone. Well played, sir!
	10:20am steve: good mornin folks
	10:20am steve: Department Store Santas is a good band name
	10:21am nEIL cOMMA wILD: @revolution rabbit-but have you ever baked TO a tape, like back in the 80's even???
	10:21am Brendan: We now enter the funk dimension of the show
	10:22am Brendan: Fasten your funk belts
	10:23am βrian: We keep our funk in the trunk.
	10:25am Claw!: Yes, Funk. I like this part of the show.
	10:28am Claw!: Diggin the bed music... This a new one for ya, Joe?
	10:28am Brendan: Professor Joe! You found the perfect antidote for the Monday Monster. Look! The funk is making the monster weaker! Like Mothra falling into a volcano
	10:28am Claw!: What exactly is a "pip," anyway?
	10:29am βrian: Better the pips than the pip. (If you're a chicken, anyway.)
	10:30am βrian: @Brendan: I played a recording of Rodan for my wife to illustrate how it sounds when she opens the closet door at 5 a.m.
	10:33am bobdoesthings: this BETTER be life changing Joe... with all this hype..
	♥ 10:34am Brian in UK: Hello Joe. These Monday mornings seems to being out the feistiness in you. Not complaining.
	10:34am Brendan: @Brian oil that door or it'll become unhinged
	10:35am steve: good god
	♥ 10:35am Greg from ZONE 5: OH DEAR GOD
	10:35am Marcel M: Hahahahah. Wow.
	10:35am Claw!: "Disco Toilet" may very well be the most exciting song title I've ever heard. I love you, Joe.
	♥ 10:36am JtotheK: whoa.
	♥ 10:36am Guido from Cologne: OMG! Killer!
	10:36am bobdoesthings: wow..
	10:36am blee: This song is the shit!
	♥ 10:36am Greg from ZONE 5: From this day forth I shall be referring to my apartment as "The Disco Toilet".
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Consider your lives changed.
	10:37am Ike: Bwahahaha
	10:37am Brendan: 'If it's brown flush it down, if it's yellow let it mellow' - Ed Koch
	10:37am tadpoles: Ha Joe! Reminds me of "The Strain" by the Bonzo Dogs. Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on the door interrupting his constipation. Great stuff!
	10:37am blee: Changed forever. Wow.
	10:37am PKNY: Hersh and Chipkin - truly kings among men
	♥ 10:37am JtotheK: how's the flip side?
	10:37am βrian: I squirted on some bike chain lube, and Rodan fled the scene.
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @JtotheK: OK, but can't approach the majesty of the A.
	♥ 10:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Buckner & Garcia > Zager & Evans > Hersh & Chipkin
	10:40am Claw!: @Greg: But what about Barnes and Barnes?
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @Greg: Don't forget Seals and Crofts.
	10:40am Claw!: My life will never be the same again. "Disco Toilet" is now my theme song.
	10:41am Brendan: @Brian if you're short on chain lube, Dr Zog's Sex Wax prob works too , just sayin
	10:43am Brendan: Dude is trying to practice Eugenics on the lady
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @Brendan: You win!
	10:46am OTB: Oh, man...my mind is so blown right now I can barely type...
	♥ 10:46am fred: Great choice there, The Better Beatles are really grating for some coworkers, but they all left by now
	10:48am Parq: Didn't know they released "Say When" as a 45. Good for them; one of my favorites of hers.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @fred: Good, I'm glad they're gone.
	10:52am βrian: This would fit in the 8-track segment of your show, too, Joe.
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: @Brian: I should start an 8-track segment. Mic right up to the player. And only pick tracks that fade, pop to the next track, and then fade in again.
	10:55am βrian: Yep. And no faking it with the sound board!
	10:57am Eric: Can't find that Leon Ashley song on Discogs, any additional info?
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @Eric: It's distributed by London since it's on the orange swirl label (promo version). Its 45-35003. B-side is "Tell Him Daddy Said Hello."
	10:59am Cecile: you would be eating a lot of frozen pizza, Sam and Dave.
	11:00am Cecile: just say non.
	♥ 11:00am Guido from Cologne: very notable single file episode! where did you find all these?
	11:02am nEIL cOMMA wILD: I hear so little French rock...this is a cool example, Hey Joe! Totally cool! It ROCKS.
	11:03am Brendan: Hey Joe , where you goin with that roll of tp in your hand?
	♥ 11:03am Joe McG: @Guido: All over! This particular batch mostly Allentown and Jersey City.
	11:03am βrian: You're giving shivers to the Académie Française.
	♥ 11:04am fred: @nEil cOMMA wILD: this sounds more Québécois than French though
	♥ 11:04am rsj: wow that was bizarre! in a great way
	♥ 11:04am Guido from Cologne: lucky collector! :-)
	11:05am Claw!: Amen
	11:06am βrian: "Outre-mer, thar be monsters."
	11:07am Cecile: that was an Elton John cover.
	11:10am Claw!: DISCO TOILET IS THE SONG OF THE LIFE
	11:11am Ear Hammer: Stepped away from my desk, return to this: "a song about a toilet that plays disco songs" A++++ Joe A+
	♥ 11:12am Brian in UK: Oh I missed Lesley Duncan.
	11:12am Brendan: Miami
	11:12am samertime: its a fish. Florida
	♥ 11:13am Summer and Michael: Marlins are the Miami team, Joe.
	♥ 11:13am Greg from ZONE 5: I may have been at that Mets-Marlins game!!!
	11:13am Ike: Don't know squat about sports, but a marlin is a big fish.
	11:13am Cecile: I am listening to Disco Toilet as we speak.
	11:13am KP: A Marlon is an actor
	11:13am Jeff g.: "Disco Toilet" would make a good split single w Soft Boys "Rock
	11:13am Brendan: Marlin Perkins Wild Kingdom
	11:14am βrian: "I'll stay in the helicopter while Jim wrestles the anaconda!"
	11:15am bobdoesthings: marlin: earthfirstjournal.org...
	11:15am Cecile: that was kind of great
	11:15am Joe B: This just in - also Saturday TODD RUNDGREN on Todd o phonic Todd's show
	11:16am Jeff g.: ...and Roll Toilet" -- done in by the ampersand bug again.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: Oh, thanks, Joe B.! EVEN MORE on Todd's show. The show can't CONTAIN all that entertainment!!
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Cecile: The label on the single says Lesley Duncan wrote it. Elton covered it, I guess.
	11:17am Brendan: Old man and the Sea was about a marlin.
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: I just looked it up. They're from Miami! The Miami Marlins? WTF?
	11:19am Brendan: The were the Florida Marlins
	♥ 11:19am Greg from ZONE 5: @Joe: Used to be the Florida Marlins. Ichiro plays for them now!
	11:19am βrian: Miami, Ohio, I presume?
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: @Greg: Cool! Ichiro = Ichiban!
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: @Greg: (I don't know who that is! :(...)
	11:20am Brendan: They have a bizarre sculpture in the outfield at their park
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: Can you post a link to a picture of it for me, Brendan?
	11:22am Brendan: Sorry we started morphing into Sportsy Talk there for a minute
	♥ 11:22am Mike East: My Grandparents got me a Florida Marlins windbreaker when I was a kid. They are not from Florida, and I'm not into sports. I think they just liked the color. Grandparents give the worst gifts, man.
	♥ 11:23am Greg from ZONE 5: @Joe: He's freaking awesome. Watch this when you have a couple minutes: vimeo.com...
	11:24am βrian: My older brother was a windbreaker.
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @Greg: I like it already. Wolf cub analogies!
	11:24am Brendan: When the Marlins hit a homer you get this: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b26169e201539224b996970b-pi
	♥ 11:24am Brian in UK: I think Lesley Duncan wrote most of her songs. She also sang harmony on Nirvana (UK) third album on a song called Love Suite which was sampled by DJ Shadow on Endtroducing. Stunning. Huh.
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: I don't care about sports, but I'd like to recommend you listen to Sportsy Talk because it's funny.
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: @Brian: Thanks for the idea!
	11:26am V Priceless: digging this mucho, Joe!
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @VP: I'm soothing you all to make you all mellow so that Joe B. will jolt you awake at 12. Oof!
	♥ 11:28am Brian in UK: Is there is a sewercide becide the seacide?
	♥ 11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...everything reminds me of Durutti Column...'cause...
	11:30am nEIL cOMMA wILD: @Joe-Sports talk is some of the funniest stuff ever written...they say this stuff so deadpan it makes it hilarious!
	11:31am Brendan: Nice groove. The drummer is going to spontaneously combust though..
	♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: Is there much talk of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) over your way. It seems to be as popular as wind in an astronauts suit over here.
	11:34am βrian: Trevor Noah has a great spiel about sports talk. youtu.be...
	11:36am Carmichael: Heya Joe and fellow Gaskets. I see you made an early run on British country music. Nice.
	11:37am βrian: Only from Bernie and Elizabeth Warren. 'Merkins don't follow policy news much, sadly. (They do notice when their prescriptions triple in price, though.)
	11:37am Claw!: This here's some right purty music, ah tell ya what.
	11:38am βrian: Mr Mancini takes me to cloud nine. Or aisle seven, maybe.
	11:39am nEIL cOMMA wILD: @Brian-about all I heard is that it is BAD in a really groundbreaking way that will screw us all five ways to Friday...is THAT the TPIP you are talking about? About 20 years ago a guy named Ross Perot warned us about NAFTA saying "you hear that giant sucking sound? That's all your jobs disappearing into Mexico..."
	11:43am Brendan: This goes down smooth like 12 year old scotch or 3 hour old arabica blend jeez i need a refill
	♥ 11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The whole point of TTIP is to keep anyone from understanding or noticing it. That's no challenge in the U.S.
	11:44am Dean: Holy shit. This Tariverdiev is amazing. Does the whole 3-disk set swing like that?
	11:46am Brendan: I like to spank her with a pizza board
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @Dean: I'm giving you another taste. It's all over the map, but all fantastic. Check out Morricone Island's feature on it last month!
	11:47am nEIL cOMMA wILD: @TPP people of interest-WOW! Good comments. Our media is like a magicians trick here...keep your eye on my hand, look over here, over here!
	11:48am Brendan: Joe i loves me some accordion, and accordingly you played it! thanks man
	♥ 11:48am Joe McG: @Brendan: Good news for you, my friend: Polka Party coming in the new year!
	♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: It is very nebulous in content right now. Red Hot Polka Party.
	11:50am Dean: Super! Thank you. Love this, too. Folks who enjoy this accordion music might also enjoy this: http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/christian_vesvre_et_serge_desaunay/matins_gris__musiques_pour_cornemuses_et_accordeons/ It's beautiful.
	11:50am Carmichael: Reading the Lesley Duncan comments, she also appeared on Floyd's DSOTM and Alan Parson's "Eve".
	11:51am βrian: This bandoneon player sets my heart to fluttering. www.youtube.com...
	11:52am Jeffy Jazz: Shadow!
	♥ 11:53am Brian in UK: Nice one Joe. This is sampled on "Stem/Long Stem" / "Transmission 2" on Endtroducing.
	11:53am Brendan: This last set's groove suites the weather perfectly. Good for lunch outside .
	11:54am V Priceless: thanx Joe!
	♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: Production by Mike Hurst who did Cat Stevens first album.
	11:55am Claw!: Excellent closing set, Joe! Thanks for another swell program. <3 Have a great week!
	11:56am Jeffy Jazz: The Original Nirvana. I think was recorded before Cobain joined.
	11:56am βrian: The Magic Hour is coming up on the Drummer stream: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: Ironically they left Island by the time this album came out.
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: @Jazzy Jeff 1970ish
	♥ 11:57am Joe McG: Bye, Claw! Thanks everyone for listening to the show today. I hope you have a GREAT FABULOUS week. I'll see you next Monday. Stay tuned for the 3 Chord Monte...
	♥ 11:57am Jeff Golick: Thanks, Joe...and @βrian!
	11:57am Jeffy Jazz: ...and signed to Sub Pop.
	11:58am brandon: i missed when Joe said the bed music... something "blues"? from british tv? could someone please say it again? i like it!
	11:58am Jeffy Jazz: Nice set, Joe! Thanks!
	11:59am nEIL cOMMA wILD: WIld Show Joe!
	♥ 11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
	11:59am Brendan: Every time we say goodbye a piece a piece of me dies. Today its my my left big toe. Still I cant wait for next Monday. Thanks Joe!

Listener comments!
	9:04am PKNY: G'TZAG Joe and everybody!
	♥ 9:04am fred: Good morning Joe. And thanks for the Neil Young start
	♥ 9:05am Marcel M: Monday morning song! Morning, Joe. Did you wake up with this blaring through your skull?
	9:06am pierre: Ciao Joe !
	9:07am Brendan: Hi Joe. Last dance is first. It's Monday and I hope I can make it to the last dance but first I have to last.
	♥ 9:07am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy boing boing birthday, Frangry. And also to Dilma Rousseff in Brazil (and any other birthday celebrators today).
	9:08am annie: .... listening.
	♥ 9:08am MD: Hello Mr Joe et.al! I am getting the Monday morning Feel with NEIL! Thank You!
	♥ 9:08am Joe McG: Good morning, folks! @Marcel: Yes, "Wake up! Wake up! It's Monday morning..."
	9:11am Claw!: Buenas mornings, Amigo-Friends!
	♥ 9:12am Ken From Hyde Park: Please remind DJ Sheila B to finish her show Friday with "Feels Like the First Time" from Journey. That should complement Neil Young's work here and wrap things up in a neat little package. Or it'll just ruin everything. I'm not a disc jockey myself and my suggestion may just be a big mistake.
	♥ 9:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...feels like need incense - kind w/ a big smelly piece of wood in the center...some ablution or kind of Sacrifice...
	♥ 9:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Journey is a mistake.
	9:13am KP: Neil Young, Joni Mitchell ... is today Canadian Christmas?
	9:14am Brendan: I think Jeffrey Dahmer covered this song except he called it "A suitcase full of you"
	♥ 9:14am Ken From Hyde Park: @RRN63 - There you go. I should've said Foreigner. Hoo boy.
	♥ 9:14am Guido from Cologne: Good morning Joe!
	9:15am fxo: hello Joe McG.
	9:17am the Canterbury wood-elf: Hey, wow, some '67 Fairport I've not heard before! Life is good! Thanks, Joe...
	♥ 9:17am Joe McG: Hey, fxo! Hi to all...
	9:17am Roberto: Wow, another great version of BSN!
	9:18am Jeezy: Please play something crappy. I have to stop and get to my AM meditation!
	9:20am V Priceless: Hey Joe!
	9:21am Cheri Pi: Joe and friends! I can't believe it's Monday already
	9:27am Brendan: I like how he plays that stringy thingy
	9:38am pierre: is it a bed music?
	9:41am Gsus: What is this nice background music?
	♥ 9:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Therese conducted a fine Christmas show just hours ago, so that is out there now.
	♥ 9:43am fred: Salut Pierre! Long time no see
	9:48am pierre: @ fred : indeed. I was @le petit bain yesterday for Anna Von Hausswolfe and The Group, I thought I was going to meet you there .
	9:48am Cecile: hola!
	9:49am Cecile: do not play this at the right speed if this is the wrong speed.
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: We'll try this again at the right speed shortly. This is my tribute to the Chipmunks' Christmas.
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: @Cecile: Why not?
	9:51am Cecile: ok, it was so much better at the fast speed.
	9:51am Cheri Pi: both versions sound great
	9:52am Cheri Pi: Cecile!
	9:52am Cecile: the first one sounded more insane, so therefore it appealed to me more.
	9:52am Cecile: PI!
	♥ 9:52am Garth: I like it at 45. I love it at 33
	♥ 9:53am Marcel M: I like the comparison between both speeds!
	9:53am Brendan: I prefer slowed down swampy sounding especially on those high register voices.
	♥ 9:53am Guido from Cologne: can you play it at both speeds at once?
	♥ 9:53am Guido from Cologne: how about 78 rpm?
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: Wow, Guido, I'm lucky if I can play it at ONE speed at once! But 78 we can try!
	9:54am Cheri Pi: Can you play it backwards?
	9:54am Cecile: now make a dub version
	♥ 9:55am Marcel M: Hinds have a cool sound. Reminiscent of Spector type sounds but with a modern vibe.
	♥ 9:55am Marcel M: HAHAHAH! Joe you are the best!
	♥ 9:55am Guido from Cologne: perfect!
	9:55am Ear Hammer: Digging all this Hinds -- very summery tunes for a balmy December day.
	♥ 9:56am Garth: 16 1/2?
	♥ 9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's like a Chipmunks-BananaSplits Supergroup - all I could want for Easter...
	9:58am brian: Only on fmu - the fast version sounds more "urgent" - but normal is great too! great mistake dj!
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: Hammer!
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @brian: I believe in lemonade.
	10:00am brian: ha!
	10:03am suea: don't miss cassettes! nope! confirmed today. thnx
	♥ 10:04am MD: WOW AND FLUTTER!!! ALMOST AS GOOD A PEANUTBUTTER AND JELLY!! Just think...a whole generation will never know what "Wow And Flutter was!!!
	10:04am βrian: This has a pleasant jangle. Good morning.
	♥ 10:04am MD: From here on out!!!
	10:04am bobdoesthings: goodmorng
	10:05am βrian: Pre-espresso orthography, I assume.
	10:07am Brendan: That cassette started a bit queasy but hey didn't we all today. You're doin fine Joe!
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: @Brian: I don't drink espresso, so we can say Monday morning ugh.
	♥ 10:07am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, all!
	♥ 10:08am fred: @Pierre: I should have been there, but I stupidly got injured, so I'm pretty much grounded these days. I can walk, but the pain takes hours to subside
	♥ 10:10am MD: Actually that was just tape drag...Wow And Flutter is about "Rekids"...!!!
	♥ 10:12am fred: @Pierre: Espace B is gone now, that's a serious loss
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @MD: Actually it was pitch control issues. People like to play with it here, so a DJ must be vigilant, sometimes in the middle of a song.
	♥ 10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...baking a tape is on my bucketlist...
	10:15am V Priceless: been on a Segall bender last few days..good stuff
	10:15am Brendan: The name Beach Bullies reminded me of these ridiculous Charles Atlas ads in the back of comic books about the guy kicking sand in another guys face: http://projectbulk.wadekwon.com/files/2012/09/charles-atlas-ad.jpg
	10:15am bobdoesthings: HAH! ty-rex. I get it
	10:18am nEIL cOMMA wILD: The Department Store Santas have excellent fuzz tone. Well played, sir!
	10:20am steve: good mornin folks
	10:20am steve: Department Store Santas is a good band name
	10:21am nEIL cOMMA wILD: @revolution rabbit-but have you ever baked TO a tape, like back in the 80's even???
	10:21am Brendan: We now enter the funk dimension of the show
	10:22am Brendan: Fasten your funk belts
	10:23am βrian: We keep our funk in the trunk.
	10:25am Claw!: Yes, Funk. I like this part of the show.
	10:28am Claw!: Diggin the bed music... This a new one for ya, Joe?
	10:28am Brendan: Professor Joe! You found the perfect antidote for the Monday Monster. Look! The funk is making the monster weaker! Like Mothra falling into a volcano
	10:28am Claw!: What exactly is a "pip," anyway?
	10:29am βrian: Better the pips than the pip. (If you're a chicken, anyway.)
	10:30am βrian: @Brendan: I played a recording of Rodan for my wife to illustrate how it sounds when she opens the closet door at 5 a.m.
	10:33am bobdoesthings: this BETTER be life changing Joe... with all this hype..
	♥ 10:34am Brian in UK: Hello Joe. These Monday mornings seems to being out the feistiness in you. Not complaining.
	10:34am Brendan: @Brian oil that door or it'll become unhinged
	10:35am steve: good god
	♥ 10:35am Greg from ZONE 5: OH DEAR GOD
	10:35am Marcel M: Hahahahah. Wow.
	10:35am Claw!: "Disco Toilet" may very well be the most exciting song title I've ever heard. I love you, Joe.
	♥ 10:36am JtotheK: whoa.
	♥ 10:36am Guido from Cologne: OMG! Killer!
	10:36am bobdoesthings: wow..
	10:36am blee: This song is the shit!
	♥ 10:36am Greg from ZONE 5: From this day forth I shall be referring to my apartment as "The Disco Toilet".
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Consider your lives changed.
	10:37am Ike: Bwahahaha
	10:37am Brendan: 'If it's brown flush it down, if it's yellow let it mellow' - Ed Koch
	10:37am tadpoles: Ha Joe! Reminds me of "The Strain" by the Bonzo Dogs. Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on the door interrupting his constipation. Great stuff!
	10:37am blee: Changed forever. Wow.
	10:37am PKNY: Hersh and Chipkin - truly kings among men
	♥ 10:37am JtotheK: how's the flip side?
	10:37am βrian: I squirted on some bike chain lube, and Rodan fled the scene.
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @JtotheK: OK, but can't approach the majesty of the A.
	♥ 10:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Buckner & Garcia > Zager & Evans > Hersh & Chipkin
	10:40am Claw!: @Greg: But what about Barnes and Barnes?
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @Greg: Don't forget Seals and Crofts.
	10:40am Claw!: My life will never be the same again. "Disco Toilet" is now my theme song.
	10:41am Brendan: @Brian if you're short on chain lube, Dr Zog's Sex Wax prob works too , just sayin
	10:43am Brendan: Dude is trying to practice Eugenics on the lady
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @Brendan: You win!
	10:46am OTB: Oh, man...my mind is so blown right now I can barely type...
	♥ 10:46am fred: Great choice there, The Better Beatles are really grating for some coworkers, but they all left by now
	10:48am Parq: Didn't know they released "Say When" as a 45. Good for them; one of my favorites of hers.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @fred: Good, I'm glad they're gone.
	10:52am βrian: This would fit in the 8-track segment of your show, too, Joe.
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: @Brian: I should start an 8-track segment. Mic right up to the player. And only pick tracks that fade, pop to the next track, and then fade in again.
	10:55am βrian: Yep. And no faking it with the sound board!
	10:57am Eric: Can't find that Leon Ashley song on Discogs, any additional info?
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @Eric: It's distributed by London since it's on the orange swirl label (promo version). Its 45-35003. B-side is "Tell Him Daddy Said Hello."
	10:59am Cecile: you would be eating a lot of frozen pizza, Sam and Dave.
	11:00am Cecile: just say non.
	♥ 11:00am Guido from Cologne: very notable single file episode! where did you find all these?
	11:02am nEIL cOMMA wILD: I hear so little French rock...this is a cool example, Hey Joe! Totally cool! It ROCKS.

	♥ 11:03am Joe McG: @Guido: All over! This particular batch mostly Allentown and Jersey City.
	11:03am βrian: You're giving shivers to the Académie Française.
	♥ 11:04am fred: @nEil cOMMA wILD: this sounds more Québécois than French though
	♥ 11:04am rsj: wow that was bizarre! in a great way
	♥ 11:04am Guido from Cologne: lucky collector! :-)
	11:05am Claw!: Amen
	11:06am βrian: "Outre-mer, thar be monsters."
	11:07am Cecile: that was an Elton John cover.
	11:10am Claw!: DISCO TOILET IS THE SONG OF THE LIFE
	11:11am Ear Hammer: Stepped away from my desk, return to this: "a song about a toilet that plays disco songs" A++++ Joe A+
	♥ 11:12am Brian in UK: Oh I missed Lesley Duncan.
	11:12am Brendan: Miami
	11:12am samertime: its a fish. Florida
	♥ 11:13am Summer and Michael: Marlins are the Miami team, Joe.
	♥ 11:13am Greg from ZONE 5: I may have been at that Mets-Marlins game!!!
	11:13am Ike: Don't know squat about sports, but a marlin is a big fish.
	11:13am Cecile: I am listening to Disco Toilet as we speak.
	11:13am KP: A Marlon is an actor
	11:13am Jeff g.: "Disco Toilet" would make a good split single w Soft Boys "Rock
	11:13am Brendan: Marlin Perkins Wild Kingdom
	11:14am βrian: "I'll stay in the helicopter while Jim wrestles the anaconda!"
	11:15am bobdoesthings: marlin: earthfirstjournal.org...

	11:15am Joe B: This just in - also Saturday TODD RUNDGREN on Todd o phonic Todd's show
	11:16am Jeff g.: ...and Roll Toilet" -- done in by the ampersand bug again.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: Oh, thanks, Joe B.! EVEN MORE on Todd's show. The show can't CONTAIN all that entertainment!!
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Cecile: The label on the single says Lesley Duncan wrote it. Elton covered it, I guess.
	11:17am Brendan: Old man and the Sea was about a marlin.
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: I just looked it up. They're from Miami! The Miami Marlins? WTF?
	11:19am Brendan: The were the Florida Marlins
	♥ 11:19am Greg from ZONE 5: @Joe: Used to be the Florida Marlins. Ichiro plays for them now!

	11:20am Brendan: They have a bizarre sculpture in the outfield at their park
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: Can you post a link to a picture of it for me, Brendan?
	11:22am Brendan: Sorry we started morphing into Sportsy Talk there for a minute
	♥ 11:22am Mike East: My Grandparents got me a Florida Marlins windbreaker when I was a kid. They are not from Florida, and I'm not into sports. I think they just liked the color. Grandparents give the worst gifts, man.
	♥ 11:23am Greg from ZONE 5: @Joe: He's freaking awesome. Watch this when you have a couple minutes: vimeo.com...
	11:24am βrian: My older brother was a windbreaker.
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @Greg: I like it already. Wolf cub analogies!
	11:24am Brendan: When the Marlins hit a homer you get this: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b26169e201539224b996970b-pi
	♥ 11:24am Brian in UK: I think Lesley Duncan wrote most of her songs. She also sang harmony on Nirvana (UK) third album on a song called Love Suite which was sampled by DJ Shadow on Endtroducing. Stunning. Huh.
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: I don't care about sports, but I'd like to recommend you listen to Sportsy Talk because it's funny.
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: @Brian: Thanks for the idea!
	11:26am V Priceless: digging this mucho, Joe!
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @VP: I'm soothing you all to make you all mellow so that Joe B. will jolt you awake at 12. Oof!
	♥ 11:28am Brian in UK: Is there is a sewercide becide the seacide?
	♥ 11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...everything reminds me of Durutti Column...'cause...
	11:30am nEIL cOMMA wILD: @Joe-Sports talk is some of the funniest stuff ever written...they say this stuff so deadpan it makes it hilarious!
	11:31am Brendan: Nice groove. The drummer is going to spontaneously combust though..
	♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: Is there much talk of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) over your way. It seems to be as popular as wind in an astronauts suit over here.
	11:34am βrian: Trevor Noah has a great spiel about sports talk. youtu.be...
	11:36am Carmichael: Heya Joe and fellow Gaskets. I see you made an early run on British country music. Nice.
	11:37am βrian: Only from Bernie and Elizabeth Warren. 'Merkins don't follow policy news much, sadly. (They do notice when their prescriptions triple in price, though.)
	11:37am Claw!: This here's some right purty music, ah tell ya what.
	11:38am βrian: Mr Mancini takes me to cloud nine. Or aisle seven, maybe.
	11:39am nEIL cOMMA wILD: @Brian-about all I heard is that it is BAD in a really groundbreaking way that will screw us all five ways to Friday...is THAT the TPIP you are talking about? About 20 years ago a guy named Ross Perot warned us about NAFTA saying "you hear that giant sucking sound? That's all your jobs disappearing into Mexico..."
	11:43am Brendan: This goes down smooth like 12 year old scotch or 3 hour old arabica blend jeez i need a refill
	♥ 11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The whole point of TTIP is to keep anyone from understanding or noticing it. That's no challenge in the U.S.
	11:44am Dean: Holy shit. This Tariverdiev is amazing. Does the whole 3-disk set swing like that?
	11:46am Brendan: I like to spank her with a pizza board
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @Dean: I'm giving you another taste. It's all over the map, but all fantastic. Check out Morricone Island's feature on it last month!
	11:47am nEIL cOMMA wILD: @TPP people of interest-WOW! Good comments. Our media is like a magicians trick here...keep your eye on my hand, look over here, over here!
	11:48am Brendan: Joe i loves me some accordion, and accordingly you played it! thanks man
	♥ 11:48am Joe McG: @Brendan: Good news for you, my friend: Polka Party coming in the new year!
	♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: It is very nebulous in content right now. Red Hot Polka Party.
	11:50am Dean: Super! Thank you. Love this, too. Folks who enjoy this accordion music might also enjoy this: http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/christian_vesvre_et_serge_desaunay/matins_gris__musiques_pour_cornemuses_et_accordeons/ It's beautiful.
	11:50am Carmichael: Reading the Lesley Duncan comments, she also appeared on Floyd's DSOTM and Alan Parson's "Eve".
	11:51am βrian: This bandoneon player sets my heart to fluttering. www.youtube.com...
	11:52am Jeffy Jazz: Shadow!
	♥ 11:53am Brian in UK: Nice one Joe. This is sampled on "Stem/Long Stem" / "Transmission 2" on Endtroducing.
	11:53am Brendan: This last set's groove suites the weather perfectly. Good for lunch outside .
	11:54am V Priceless: thanx Joe!
	♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: Production by Mike Hurst who did Cat Stevens first album.
	11:55am Claw!: Excellent closing set, Joe! Thanks for another swell program. <3 Have a great week!
	11:56am Jeffy Jazz: The Original Nirvana. I think was recorded before Cobain joined.
	11:56am βrian: The Magic Hour is coming up on the Drummer stream: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: Ironically they left Island by the time this album came out.
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: @Jazzy Jeff 1970ish
	♥ 11:57am Joe McG: Bye, Claw! Thanks everyone for listening to the show today. I hope you have a GREAT FABULOUS week. I'll see you next Monday. Stay tuned for the 3 Chord Monte...
	♥ 11:57am Jeff Golick: Thanks, Joe...and @βrian!
	11:57am Jeffy Jazz: ...and signed to Sub Pop.
	11:58am brandon: i missed when Joe said the bed music... something "blues"? from british tv? could someone please say it again? i like it!
	11:58am Jeffy Jazz: Nice set, Joe! Thanks!
	11:59am nEIL cOMMA wILD: WIld Show Joe!
	♥ 11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
	11:59am Brendan: Every time we say goodbye a piece a piece of me dies. Today its my my left big toe. Still I cant wait for next Monday. Thanks Joe!
