	9:23am Wild Neil: For a period in my life back in the early 90's I listened to The Harder They Come soundtrack a lot...and practiced the martial arts in the streets of Chinatown (well, Pike Street) in lower manhattan...and ate cold burritos everyday from the Pathmark in Manhattan...
	9:23am Jpa: Is anyone else here eating fried chicken this morning?
	9:24am sphere: once i heard dub, i was hooked. my first dob was Soft Cell's "Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go?" and it is still awesome.

	9:24am Cheri Pi: great choice @sphere

	♥ 9:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...enjoying the Irie-tainment...
	9:30am Wild Neil: For breakfast...
	9:31am Polyus: We have entered that part of the winter that I really don't like, so this stuff is just the ticket.
	♥ 9:31am Brian C.: righteous
	9:35am trouble: super seque master joe!!
	♥ 9:35am Brian in UK: Hello Joe. Welcome to the week, working.
	9:36am sphere: thanks Cheri!
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: Dear Trouble! Ta!
	9:36am Jpa: Soapkills is awesome
	9:40am Wild Neil: @Joe-digging the middle eastern vibe now!
	♥ 9:40am doctorjazz: OOPAH!!!
	♥ 9:41am Brian in UK: Me and the ironing can have a serious relationship to this music.
	♥ 9:42am Marcel M: Oy... its snowing..
	9:44am Wild Neil: @Marcel M-where are you? Its not snowing near Buffalo NY.
	♥ 9:44am Marcel M: This Alexis Zoumbas is great
	♥ 9:45am Marcel M: Brooklyn. One of the few times its NOT snowing near Buffalo, Neil?
	9:47am KP: Hello from snowy, New York, NY, Joe!
	9:47am annie: just flurries over the next few days down here in asheville; maybe some squalls..
	9:48am Wild Neil: @Marcel-well, when you live in this area for awhile its The Southtowns that get hammered 90% of the time (7 feet of snow in snowvember was West Seneca and parts of Hamnurg) since it follows the west wind off of Lake Erie....up in Amherst NY where I work and in Niagara County NY near Lockport its rare to get over a foot of snow...draw a diagonal line aligned with the centerline of Lake Erie and where it hits land is where it gets hammered for the most part..
	9:48am Wild Neil: Hamburg that is...
	♥ 9:50am Planet Tyler: Hi All! Is anyone having the strange problem with their internet stream that it keeps resetting to a few hours ago??
	♥ 9:51am Marcel M: @Neil: Ah, I see. I was actually just recently wondering why the other side of Upstate NY doesn't get as much snow as Buffalo (my parents live up there), and you just answered my question.
	9:52am Wild Neil: @Marcell-I just looked at a map and realized I misspoke...everything due west of Lake Erie gets HAMMERED...since the weather and wind travel generally from west to east...
	♥ 9:52am Planet Tyler: You guys are making me miss Buffalo NY...and I'm not being facetious
	9:53am Wild Neil: @Planet-where did you live? I live next to Lockport in Cambria NY...
	♥ 9:53am Planet Tyler: @Wild Neil - I lived in Allentown
	♥ 9:53am doctorjazz: Staten Island is still dry (we're behind on everything...)
	9:54am Brendan: Hi Joe. Good morning peeps
	♥ 9:54am Marcel M: @Neil: Ah ok, cool. I'm from Bergen County, NJ but my parents moved up to Saranac Lake (in Tupper lake but ON Upper Saranac Lake) a few years ago.
	♥ 9:56am Marcel M: I was gonna take my bike today... guess not!
	9:56am Parq: Marcel, I'm also from Bergen. Never lived in the Tri-Lakes, but my parents met as patients at Will Rogers (now lux residences), and went up there regularly their whole lives. I've spent a lot of time up there myself.
	♥ 9:57am Planet Tyler: My stream keeps resetting to Frank O'Toole playing Dexy's Midnight Runners!
	♥ 9:57am Marcel M: @Parq: Cool! My parents started going up to that area for their anniversary 15 - 20 years ago and always loved it so decided to retire there. Beautiful place.
	9:57am Wild Neil: My mom went to Hackensack high and grew up in River Edge...I am from near Newton NJ originally... @Marcel-Oh yeah, Allentown...the Hardware café and Rust Belt Books!
	♥ 9:58am Planet Tyler: Rust Belt Books are my peeps! They moved to another part of town recently though
	9:58am Wild Neil: Watertown NY gets HAMMERED with Lake Effect snow...
	♥ 9:58am Marcel M: (Planet Tyler was the Allentowner)
	9:58am βrian: All these refugees moving to the Adirondacks!
	9:59am Wild Neil: And so does Syracuse!
	9:59am Wild Neil: Sorry, Marcel...!
	♥ 9:59am Marcel M: My old band played at the Soft Machine Gallery in Allentown once, and I went to a cool record store there... Double Decker?
	10:00am MONEYBAG$: well, this lived up to the description
	♥ 10:00am Marcel M: Np ;-) was just clarifying.
	10:01am Claw!: Loving this cut already!
	10:01am northguineahills: Kudos on playing this before Kurt!
	10:02am Wild Neil: Polish people chuckle when they hear Czech people speaking because it sounds like Polish baby talk....there's gotta be some kinda jokes with Poles about this...
	10:02am adrian in mpls: digging that Bezinky!
	10:03am northguineahills: Sort of how Swedes and Norwegians make fun of the Danish language?
	10:05am Wild Neil: @north-yeah I suppose so! IF you say so!
	♥ 10:15am Marcel M: Killer set, Joe!
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: Thanks, Marcel!
	♥ 10:18am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, all! I am definitely not firing on all cylinders.
	♥ 10:24am Marcel M: Morning Greg!
	10:25am Kurt Gottschalk: what? shouldn't i get some kind of google alert when a wfmu dj is playing '60s czech pop?
	10:27am djsheilab: Morning Joe from Colorado! Loving the show + the chat today.
	♥ 10:32am Joe McG: Sheila B! What the heck are you doing in Colorado (besides having difficulty breathing)?
	♥ 10:33am Matt from Springfield: Single File! :D Hi Joe and everyone! Mack Rice is jam-packed with soul, love this guy!
	♥ 10:33am Joe McG: And hey Kurt! You should put together Volume 2 of this series, no joke!
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: Wow, Matt, you're up early today! Nice to see you!
	10:35am djsheilab: @JoeMcG hehe...yes lots of heavy breathing 11,000 feet up! I'm here for skiing.
	♥ 10:35am Matt from Springfield: I'm off alternate Mondays, so I'm trying to make at least some of these live! Love SN.
	♥ 10:35am Joe McG: @SB: Ha ha! ;) Have fun but be careful!
	10:38am Roberto: Excellent Monday morning choice here.
	♥ 10:38am Matt from Springfield: Never heard this BC before!
	10:39am Polyus: Nobody writes good life-on-the-road anthems anymore.
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: I meant to play the non-LP b-side, but screwed up! Oops!
	10:39am PKNY: @Matt - the Springfield you're from must be a land w/o classic rock stations. :)
	10:40am Roberto: Heh. Excellent serendipitous choice then. And yes, this was a moderate hit on classic rock radio in the early '90s.
	♥ 10:42am Greg from ZONE 5: I ♥ The 90s
	10:42am Kagi: Oh god, Versus. You just made my day.
	♥ 10:43am Matt from Springfield: @PKNY: Since '09, yes actually! I went to XM in the car and discovered FMU online April of that year--what little terrestrial radio offered in the DC area was gone by then.
	♥ 10:49am Brian in UK: John Stewart song off the great California Bloodlines.
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: Ah yes, Brian, what a great album!
	10:50am PKNY: @Matt - I grew up in the Hudson Valley NY, and (as Ken From Hyde Park can attest to) Bad Company/classic rock is almost unavoidable.
	10:52am βrian: This is the sound of the 70s being over!
	10:52am Parq: A favorite B-fifs single.
	♥ 10:52am Brian in UK: Joe one of my all time...... Hey Matt how you doing?
	10:52am Bill in W.O.: All these years I assumed that the Beat Farmers were covering John Stewart, but now it occurs to me that it was probably this Pat Boone version they were inspired by. Cool.
	♥ 10:53am Mike East: I think classic rock radio is an important part of music education...though its like kindergarten, whereas WFMU is grad school. Enjoying the show this morning, Professor McGasko.
	♥ 10:54am Matt from Springfield: Brian, good (afternoon)! "B-fifs"!
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: Nice to see you, Mike East!
	♥ 10:56am Matt from Springfield: Hey Mike! And yes, having a classic rock foundation is important for understanding music in general, and the many different directions it can go. You can appreciate the irony in Kenny G playing the Led Zeppelin "IV" 8-track about to disintegrate having genuinely listened through and through.
	♥ 10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BrutherWayneKramer.
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: Glad you guys are in the mood for some classic rockers today....
	10:58am Roberto: Oh my.
	♥ 10:59am Matt from Springfield: Is "Cherry Bomb" the actual title of this Mellencamp hit?
	10:59am Ear Hammer: Whooooaaaaaa this is unexpected!
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Matt: Yup! @EH: I love me some JCM! :)
	♥ 11:00am Mike East: yeah, I didn't know that either, Matt. I failed my Mellencamp exam.
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: Say YEAH YEAH YEAH!
	♥ 11:01am MD: The station that is not Scared to Play John C!!! THAT'S OUR WFMU!!!
	♥ 11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...JohnCougarConcentrationcamp...he's a good guy & can rise above the Top40 sometimes...not here...
	♥ 11:01am doctorjazz: This is cool, (this Mellencamp)...not quite Polka, but it will do!
	♥ 11:01am Matt from Springfield: Plus side, it appears Lisa Germano is playing the fiddle on this one: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:02am adrian in mpls: yes! this is not what i expected to come back to hear!
	♥ 11:02am MD: I was once driving thru TX...and Small Town Came on the radio...I counted 38 Small tTowns in that song!!!
	♥ 11:03am Matt from Springfield: @Mike: Ah, don't worry. We're not DJs or anything.. That was my idea for a "DJ SAT", quiz prospective DJs on the minutiae of various songs. Match the song titles to the early 60s "Bobby" that sang them, and same thing with the early 60s "Barbaras" ;)
	11:04am Brendan: Whew . Kevin Ayers never sounded so good.
	♥ 11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I was in a band w/ a guy was Germano's Bassist - small little world...
	♥ 11:04am MD: That's when a SMoke wasn't a Vape!!!
	11:05am SueAdynamo: don't apologize. it's one of the 1st albums i bought (on tape)
	♥ 11:06am Matt from Springfield: @MD: Even more so, he prob meant before the days of filters on cigs! @RRN63: Indeed, a small world that spins around the same way every day, and every year.
	♥ 11:06am MD: Tha's when a Smoke wasn't a Gummy Bear!!!
	♥ 11:07am Brian in UK: Joe was a fly involved in the Cube logo?
	♥ 11:07am Matt from Springfield: I'm a sweet fiend, just gimmee the THC direct, in Gummy Bears and cake pops...
	♥ 11:08am Matt from Springfield: Laura Nyro! I'll have to investigate that "Time and Love".
	♥ 11:11am Matt from Springfield: Todd-O-Phonic vs. Joltin' Joe! 45 caliber RPM battle fun!
	♥ 11:12am Marcel M: Are you volunteering at any of the SF shows, Joe?
	11:12am Brendan: Saw John Cougar MenstrualCramp way back on a bill with the Who. Folks (bikers ) were throwing bottles at the stage. He challenged them to do it again and it did not go well. He got hit in the head and took a break then came out in a hardhat and proceeded to cuss out the audience.
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @Brian in UK: Yes! Associated with Fly Records. @Marcel: I wanted to, but got shut out of both, unfortunately. Too slow on the draw.
	♥ 11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That's some stones - cred for CougarCramp!
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha! The hard hat is a nice touch.
	11:14am βrian: @Brendan: Sounds more like motor-bikers than bikers. The latter tend to be a civil lot.
	♥ 11:15am Marcel M: @Joe: Dang! Was hoping to see ya.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @Marcel: I'll try to pop my head in!
	11:17am Dean: Saw Johnny Cougar open for The Jam at The Whisky. No bottles, but the crowd pretty much ignored him.
	♥ 11:17am Marcel M: :-)
	♥ 11:17am Marcel M: We'll be there on the 13th.
	11:18am sphere: thanks Joe, first time i heard Brass Buttons was from the Lemonheads. this is better.
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @Marcel: Ah, I might not catch you on the Saturday, but we'll see. Hope you and Anna are doing great.
	♥ 11:19am Brian in UK: He's playing with the melody on this take.
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: @sphere: Wow, I didn't know Evan Dando did this one. I sort of want to hear that.
	11:20am sphere: Joe, it was on Lovey i think.
	♥ 11:21am Marcel M: No worries! Off to work, see you soon.
	11:21am Brendan: @Brian - aye. I'm happy to be one of the latter. Can't wait for spring to get out there again, albeit with a rear view helmet mirror. Got taken out by a car from behind last time. Texting i guess.
	♥ 11:22am Brian in UK: Joe on the GP tribute Evan Dando and Juliana Hatfield sang $1000 Wedding
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: Thanks, sphere! Take care, Marcel! @Dean: Poor JC!
	♥ 11:24am Brian in UK: @Brendan know the feeling had the broken leg from the car pulling out of the side turning.
	♥ 11:25am Brian in UK: Notorious is still bluddy great. An album made out of chaos like all good art.
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Brian: You mean the Duran Duran album, right?
	11:26am Parq: Can't place this Hickory Wind song -- who had the well-known version of this?
	♥ 11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All about TheBYrdS Parq.
	♥ 11:29am Brian in UK: Joe or was it Haircut 100. Look I need to walk the dog, this is music is just sidetracking. I am glad to say!!
	♥ 11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& The Nezz.
	♥ 11:29am Matt from Springfield: Nesmith!
	11:30am Cheri Pi: <3 Haircut 100 <3
	11:30am Parq: Thanks, Rev Rab. By the way, I have mixed feelings about "Shelly's" done as a woman addressing a man.
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: @Brian: The dog is looking up at you expectantly.
	♥ 11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nesmith as Zappa (in L.A.) : I dunno - maybe I'll join the BYrdS... Zappa as Nesmith: ...maybe I'll join the BYrdS...
	♥ 11:32am Brian in UK: Joe are you kidding. He is having a meaningful relationship with the radiator.
	♥ 11:34am Matt from Springfield: 1970-era folk rock, very nice stuff Joe!
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha ha!
	11:34am steve: if time for a request, how bout some peter fonda or gene clark?
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: @Steve: I like that "Hired Hand" soundtrack. Gene Clark is always great, let me see how this set goes...
	♥ 11:38am Brian in UK: On the tribute line. Has there ever been a Who Tribute album?
	11:38am Carmichael: Heya Joe and crewe.
	11:38am Santos L Halper: Great stuff today Joe! Maybe Dan Hicks would fit in well; RIP : /
	♥ 11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @BrianUK: several.
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: @Santos: That's a nice idea, actually. I'm kind of sidestepping tributes these days. Too many dead. But yes, RIP Dan Hicks!
	♥ 11:41am ChrisB.: This Wayfaring Strangers comp look very interesting.
	♥ 11:42am Brian in UK: Thanks Rev, I had no idea. Like this GP quote about the Eagles "He thought that bands like the Eagles were pretty much missing the point".
	♥ 11:43am doctorjazz: Bobby Dylan, in his country crooner incarnation, love it!
	♥ 11:43am ChrisB.: Know who does a nice version of this: Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe.
	♥ 11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yikes. Bob is no Everlys (they own this).
	♥ 11:44am Matt from Springfield: Self Portrait, not so familiar w/ that album (except for his own version of "If Not For You") - sounds worth listening to further!
	♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: You cannot beat family singing.
	♥ 11:47am Matt from Springfield: True that Brian. (Phil & Don especially)
	11:52am Dean: Self Portrait featured that odd hit, "Wigwam." The album was left out of a box set of Dylan LPs c. 2003.
	♥ 11:52am doctorjazz: If Not For You was on New Morning (which is a great album, as opposed to Self Portrait, which was a fun album imo).
	11:52am Brendan: Midnight oh yea, Happy Chinese New Year Joe . Look forward to monkeying around with you guys in the coming year.
	♥ 11:54am ChrisB.: Anyone who like this Everly sound should check out The Cactus Blossoms.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting everyone--happy new year!
	♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: Great show, Joe. Good week everyone.
	11:55am ChangingHoles: Nice Set!
	♥ 11:56am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Joe! Just what the doctor ordered.
	♥ 11:56am Dominick: Thanks Joe
	11:56am Parq: Dr. J, "New Morning" is one of my favorite Bob albums, too, and it clocks in at lest than a half hour.
	11:57am Parq: Fine, fine show, Joe.
	11:58am slugluv1313: wonderful show, Joe! (have been listening, but just signing in now) and WOW! FAUST!!!!!!! just got my ticket :)
	♥ 11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: See you there, slugluv!
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks Joe
	12:11pm steve: Thanks Joe! How can you dj and talk to so many at the same time?

	♥ 9:22am Joe McG: Wake up and live, everybody! Happy Monday to you all.
	9:23am Wild Neil: For a period in my life back in the early 90's I listened to The Harder They Come soundtrack a lot...and practiced the martial arts in the streets of Chinatown (well, Pike Street) in lower manhattan...and ate cold burritos everyday from the Pathmark in Manhattan...
	9:23am Jpa: Is anyone else here eating fried chicken this morning?
	9:24am sphere: once i heard dub, i was hooked. my first dob was Soft Cell's "Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go?" and it is still awesome.
	♥ 9:24am Marcel M: Morning Joe!
	9:24am Cheri Pi: great choice @sphere
	9:25am Wild Neil: @JPA no, but I watched the first half hour of Repo Man again for the first time in like 20 years or so...
	♥ 9:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...enjoying the Irie-tainment...
	9:30am Wild Neil: For breakfast...
	9:31am Polyus: We have entered that part of the winter that I really don't like, so this stuff is just the ticket.
	♥ 9:31am Brian C.: righteous
	9:35am trouble: super seque master joe!!

	9:40am Wild Neil: @Joe-digging the middle eastern vibe now!
	♥ 9:40am doctorjazz: OOPAH!!!
	♥ 9:41am Brian in UK: Me and the ironing can have a serious relationship to this music.
	♥ 9:42am Marcel M: Oy... its snowing..
	9:44am Wild Neil: @Marcel M-where are you? Its not snowing near Buffalo NY.
	♥ 9:44am Marcel M: This Alexis Zoumbas is great
	♥ 9:45am Marcel M: Brooklyn. One of the few times its NOT snowing near Buffalo, Neil?
	9:47am KP: Hello from snowy, New York, NY, Joe!
	9:47am annie: just flurries over the next few days down here in asheville; maybe some squalls..
	9:48am Wild Neil: @Marcel-well, when you live in this area for awhile its The Southtowns that get hammered 90% of the time (7 feet of snow in snowvember was West Seneca and parts of Hamnurg) since it follows the west wind off of Lake Erie....up in Amherst NY where I work and in Niagara County NY near Lockport its rare to get over a foot of snow...draw a diagonal line aligned with the centerline of Lake Erie and where it hits land is where it gets hammered for the most part..
	9:48am Wild Neil: Hamburg that is...
	♥ 9:50am Planet Tyler: Hi All! Is anyone having the strange problem with their internet stream that it keeps resetting to a few hours ago??
	♥ 9:51am Marcel M: @Neil: Ah, I see. I was actually just recently wondering why the other side of Upstate NY doesn't get as much snow as Buffalo (my parents live up there), and you just answered my question.
	9:52am Wild Neil: @Marcell-I just looked at a map and realized I misspoke...everything due west of Lake Erie gets HAMMERED...since the weather and wind travel generally from west to east...
	♥ 9:52am Planet Tyler: You guys are making me miss Buffalo NY...and I'm not being facetious
	9:53am Wild Neil: @Planet-where did you live? I live next to Lockport in Cambria NY...
	♥ 9:53am Planet Tyler: @Wild Neil - I lived in Allentown
	♥ 9:53am doctorjazz: Staten Island is still dry (we're behind on everything...)
	9:54am Brendan: Hi Joe. Good morning peeps
	♥ 9:54am Marcel M: @Neil: Ah ok, cool. I'm from Bergen County, NJ but my parents moved up to Saranac Lake (in Tupper lake but ON Upper Saranac Lake) a few years ago.
	♥ 9:56am Marcel M: I was gonna take my bike today... guess not!
	9:56am Parq: Marcel, I'm also from Bergen. Never lived in the Tri-Lakes, but my parents met as patients at Will Rogers (now lux residences), and went up there regularly their whole lives. I've spent a lot of time up there myself.
	♥ 9:57am Planet Tyler: My stream keeps resetting to Frank O'Toole playing Dexy's Midnight Runners!
	♥ 9:57am Marcel M: @Parq: Cool! My parents started going up to that area for their anniversary 15 - 20 years ago and always loved it so decided to retire there. Beautiful place.
	9:57am Wild Neil: My mom went to Hackensack high and grew up in River Edge...I am from near Newton NJ originally... @Marcel-Oh yeah, Allentown...the Hardware café and Rust Belt Books!
	♥ 9:58am Planet Tyler: Rust Belt Books are my peeps! They moved to another part of town recently though
	9:58am Wild Neil: Watertown NY gets HAMMERED with Lake Effect snow...
	♥ 9:58am Marcel M: (Planet Tyler was the Allentowner)
	9:58am βrian: All these refugees moving to the Adirondacks!
	9:59am Wild Neil: And so does Syracuse!
	9:59am Wild Neil: Sorry, Marcel...!
	♥ 9:59am Marcel M: My old band played at the Soft Machine Gallery in Allentown once, and I went to a cool record store there... Double Decker?
	10:00am MONEYBAG$: well, this lived up to the description
	♥ 10:00am Marcel M: Np ;-) was just clarifying.
	10:01am Claw!: Loving this cut already!
	10:01am northguineahills: Kudos on playing this before Kurt!
	10:02am Wild Neil: Polish people chuckle when they hear Czech people speaking because it sounds like Polish baby talk....there's gotta be some kinda jokes with Poles about this...
	10:02am adrian in mpls: digging that Bezinky!
	10:03am northguineahills: Sort of how Swedes and Norwegians make fun of the Danish language?
	10:05am Wild Neil: @north-yeah I suppose so! IF you say so!
	♥ 10:15am Marcel M: Killer set, Joe!
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: Thanks, Marcel!
	♥ 10:18am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, all! I am definitely not firing on all cylinders.
	♥ 10:24am Marcel M: Morning Greg!
	10:25am Kurt Gottschalk: what? shouldn't i get some kind of google alert when a wfmu dj is playing '60s czech pop?
	10:27am djsheilab: Morning Joe from Colorado! Loving the show + the chat today.
	♥ 10:32am Joe McG: Sheila B! What the heck are you doing in Colorado (besides having difficulty breathing)?
	♥ 10:33am Matt from Springfield: Single File! :D Hi Joe and everyone! Mack Rice is jam-packed with soul, love this guy!
	♥ 10:33am Joe McG: And hey Kurt! You should put together Volume 2 of this series, no joke!
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: Wow, Matt, you're up early today! Nice to see you!
	10:35am djsheilab: @JoeMcG hehe...yes lots of heavy breathing 11,000 feet up! I'm here for skiing.
	♥ 10:35am Matt from Springfield: I'm off alternate Mondays, so I'm trying to make at least some of these live! Love SN.
	♥ 10:35am Joe McG: @SB: Ha ha! ;) Have fun but be careful!
	10:38am Roberto: Excellent Monday morning choice here.
	♥ 10:38am Matt from Springfield: Never heard this BC before!
	10:39am Polyus: Nobody writes good life-on-the-road anthems anymore.
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: I meant to play the non-LP b-side, but screwed up! Oops!
	10:39am PKNY: @Matt - the Springfield you're from must be a land w/o classic rock stations. :)
	10:40am Roberto: Heh. Excellent serendipitous choice then. And yes, this was a moderate hit on classic rock radio in the early '90s.
	♥ 10:42am Greg from ZONE 5: I ♥ The 90s
	10:42am Kagi: Oh god, Versus. You just made my day.
	♥ 10:43am Matt from Springfield: @PKNY: Since '09, yes actually! I went to XM in the car and discovered FMU online April of that year--what little terrestrial radio offered in the DC area was gone by then.
	♥ 10:49am Brian in UK: John Stewart song off the great California Bloodlines.
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: Ah yes, Brian, what a great album!
	10:50am PKNY: @Matt - I grew up in the Hudson Valley NY, and (as Ken From Hyde Park can attest to) Bad Company/classic rock is almost unavoidable.
	10:52am βrian: This is the sound of the 70s being over!
	10:52am Parq: A favorite B-fifs single.
	♥ 10:52am Brian in UK: Joe one of my all time...... Hey Matt how you doing?
	10:52am Bill in W.O.: All these years I assumed that the Beat Farmers were covering John Stewart, but now it occurs to me that it was probably this Pat Boone version they were inspired by. Cool.
	♥ 10:53am Mike East: I think classic rock radio is an important part of music education...though its like kindergarten, whereas WFMU is grad school. Enjoying the show this morning, Professor McGasko.
	♥ 10:54am Matt from Springfield: Brian, good (afternoon)! "B-fifs"!
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: Nice to see you, Mike East!
	♥ 10:56am Matt from Springfield: Hey Mike! And yes, having a classic rock foundation is important for understanding music in general, and the many different directions it can go. You can appreciate the irony in Kenny G playing the Led Zeppelin "IV" 8-track about to disintegrate having genuinely listened through and through.
	♥ 10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BrutherWayneKramer.
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: Glad you guys are in the mood for some classic rockers today....
	10:58am Roberto: Oh my.
	♥ 10:59am Matt from Springfield: Is "Cherry Bomb" the actual title of this Mellencamp hit?
	10:59am Ear Hammer: Whooooaaaaaa this is unexpected!
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Matt: Yup! @EH: I love me some JCM! :)
	♥ 11:00am Mike East: yeah, I didn't know that either, Matt. I failed my Mellencamp exam.
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: Say YEAH YEAH YEAH!
	♥ 11:01am MD: The station that is not Scared to Play John C!!! THAT'S OUR WFMU!!!
	♥ 11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...JohnCougarConcentrationcamp...he's a good guy & can rise above the Top40 sometimes...not here...
	♥ 11:01am doctorjazz: This is cool, (this Mellencamp)...not quite Polka, but it will do!
	♥ 11:01am Matt from Springfield: Plus side, it appears Lisa Germano is playing the fiddle on this one: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:02am adrian in mpls: yes! this is not what i expected to come back to hear!
	♥ 11:02am MD: I was once driving thru TX...and Small Town Came on the radio...I counted 38 Small tTowns in that song!!!
	♥ 11:03am Matt from Springfield: @Mike: Ah, don't worry. We're not DJs or anything.. That was my idea for a "DJ SAT", quiz prospective DJs on the minutiae of various songs. Match the song titles to the early 60s "Bobby" that sang them, and same thing with the early 60s "Barbaras" ;)
	11:04am Brendan: Whew . Kevin Ayers never sounded so good.
	♥ 11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I was in a band w/ a guy was Germano's Bassist - small little world...
	♥ 11:04am MD: That's when a SMoke wasn't a Vape!!!
	11:05am SueAdynamo: don't apologize. it's one of the 1st albums i bought (on tape)
	♥ 11:06am Matt from Springfield: @MD: Even more so, he prob meant before the days of filters on cigs! @RRN63: Indeed, a small world that spins around the same way every day, and every year.
	♥ 11:06am MD: Tha's when a Smoke wasn't a Gummy Bear!!!
	♥ 11:07am Brian in UK: Joe was a fly involved in the Cube logo?
	♥ 11:07am Matt from Springfield: I'm a sweet fiend, just gimmee the THC direct, in Gummy Bears and cake pops...
	♥ 11:08am Matt from Springfield: Laura Nyro! I'll have to investigate that "Time and Love".
	♥ 11:11am Matt from Springfield: Todd-O-Phonic vs. Joltin' Joe! 45 caliber RPM battle fun!
	♥ 11:12am Marcel M: Are you volunteering at any of the SF shows, Joe?
	11:12am Brendan: Saw John Cougar MenstrualCramp way back on a bill with the Who. Folks (bikers ) were throwing bottles at the stage. He challenged them to do it again and it did not go well. He got hit in the head and took a break then came out in a hardhat and proceeded to cuss out the audience.
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @Brian in UK: Yes! Associated with Fly Records. @Marcel: I wanted to, but got shut out of both, unfortunately. Too slow on the draw.
	♥ 11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That's some stones - cred for CougarCramp!
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha! The hard hat is a nice touch.
	11:14am βrian: @Brendan: Sounds more like motor-bikers than bikers. The latter tend to be a civil lot.
	♥ 11:15am Marcel M: @Joe: Dang! Was hoping to see ya.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @Marcel: I'll try to pop my head in!
	11:17am Dean: Saw Johnny Cougar open for The Jam at The Whisky. No bottles, but the crowd pretty much ignored him.
	♥ 11:17am Marcel M: :-)
	♥ 11:17am Marcel M: We'll be there on the 13th.
	11:18am sphere: thanks Joe, first time i heard Brass Buttons was from the Lemonheads. this is better.
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @Marcel: Ah, I might not catch you on the Saturday, but we'll see. Hope you and Anna are doing great.
	♥ 11:19am Brian in UK: He's playing with the melody on this take.
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: @sphere: Wow, I didn't know Evan Dando did this one. I sort of want to hear that.
	11:20am sphere: Joe, it was on Lovey i think.
	♥ 11:21am Marcel M: No worries! Off to work, see you soon.
	11:21am Brendan: @Brian - aye. I'm happy to be one of the latter. Can't wait for spring to get out there again, albeit with a rear view helmet mirror. Got taken out by a car from behind last time. Texting i guess.
	♥ 11:22am Brian in UK: Joe on the GP tribute Evan Dando and Juliana Hatfield sang $1000 Wedding
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: Thanks, sphere! Take care, Marcel! @Dean: Poor JC!
	♥ 11:24am Brian in UK: @Brendan know the feeling had the broken leg from the car pulling out of the side turning.
	♥ 11:25am Brian in UK: Notorious is still bluddy great. An album made out of chaos like all good art.
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Brian: You mean the Duran Duran album, right?
	11:26am Parq: Can't place this Hickory Wind song -- who had the well-known version of this?
	♥ 11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All about TheBYrdS Parq.
	♥ 11:29am Brian in UK: Joe or was it Haircut 100. Look I need to walk the dog, this is music is just sidetracking. I am glad to say!!
	♥ 11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& The Nezz.
	♥ 11:29am Matt from Springfield: Nesmith!
	11:30am Cheri Pi: <3 Haircut 100 <3
	11:30am Parq: Thanks, Rev Rab. By the way, I have mixed feelings about "Shelly's" done as a woman addressing a man.
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: @Brian: The dog is looking up at you expectantly.
	♥ 11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nesmith as Zappa (in L.A.) : I dunno - maybe I'll join the BYrdS... Zappa as Nesmith: ...maybe I'll join the BYrdS...
	♥ 11:32am Brian in UK: Joe are you kidding. He is having a meaningful relationship with the radiator.
	♥ 11:34am Matt from Springfield: 1970-era folk rock, very nice stuff Joe!
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha ha!
	11:34am steve: if time for a request, how bout some peter fonda or gene clark?
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: @Steve: I like that "Hired Hand" soundtrack. Gene Clark is always great, let me see how this set goes...
	♥ 11:38am Brian in UK: On the tribute line. Has there ever been a Who Tribute album?
	11:38am Carmichael: Heya Joe and crewe.
	11:38am Santos L Halper: Great stuff today Joe! Maybe Dan Hicks would fit in well; RIP : /
	♥ 11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @BrianUK: several.
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: @Santos: That's a nice idea, actually. I'm kind of sidestepping tributes these days. Too many dead. But yes, RIP Dan Hicks!
	♥ 11:41am ChrisB.: This Wayfaring Strangers comp look very interesting.
	♥ 11:42am Brian in UK: Thanks Rev, I had no idea. Like this GP quote about the Eagles "He thought that bands like the Eagles were pretty much missing the point".
	♥ 11:43am doctorjazz: Bobby Dylan, in his country crooner incarnation, love it!
	♥ 11:43am ChrisB.: Know who does a nice version of this: Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe.
	♥ 11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yikes. Bob is no Everlys (they own this).
	♥ 11:44am Matt from Springfield: Self Portrait, not so familiar w/ that album (except for his own version of "If Not For You") - sounds worth listening to further!
	♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: You cannot beat family singing.
	♥ 11:47am Matt from Springfield: True that Brian. (Phil & Don especially)
	11:52am Dean: Self Portrait featured that odd hit, "Wigwam." The album was left out of a box set of Dylan LPs c. 2003.
	♥ 11:52am doctorjazz: If Not For You was on New Morning (which is a great album, as opposed to Self Portrait, which was a fun album imo).
	11:52am Brendan: Midnight oh yea, Happy Chinese New Year Joe . Look forward to monkeying around with you guys in the coming year.
	♥ 11:54am ChrisB.: Anyone who like this Everly sound should check out The Cactus Blossoms.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting everyone--happy new year!
	♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: Great show, Joe. Good week everyone.
	11:55am ChangingHoles: Nice Set!
	♥ 11:56am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Joe! Just what the doctor ordered.
	♥ 11:56am Dominick: Thanks Joe
	11:56am Parq: Dr. J, "New Morning" is one of my favorite Bob albums, too, and it clocks in at lest than a half hour.
	11:57am Parq: Fine, fine show, Joe.
	11:58am slugluv1313: wonderful show, Joe! (have been listening, but just signing in now) and WOW! FAUST!!!!!!! just got my ticket :)
	♥ 11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: See you there, slugluv!
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks Joe
