	9:25am Mark R: Extra groovy and beautiful sounds this gloomy Monday morning, Mr. McG!
	♥ 9:27am fred: That Razen track is great
	9:29am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: what ^ that guy said. Say, are you doing a 2016 show like Chris M?
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: No, I don't do anything like Chris M.
	9:33am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Oh.
	9:39am Cecile: Good morning, all! I finally saw High on Fire so the world was spared from my wrath. My friend also has a dude-crush on Cheri Pi's neighbors Skeletonwitch.
	9:39am Cecile: dcp, to be fair, nobody does anything like Chris M.
	9:40am Chris from DC: Was that with Abbath? Really wanted to see that too.
	9:41am Cecile: Yes, it was with Abbath. It was getting late, my friend hadn't eaten in like 20 hours, and he did a song from "I" right at the beginning, so I was ok with going early. But man, he did not spare on lighting, sound, tech, effects anything. It was a soccer stadium show in a club that holds 1500 max.
	9:42am Cecile: we missed False because they pushed the door time back, but Tribulation were both awesome and unintentially hilarious.
	9:42am Chris from DC: Nice
	9:43am Cheri Pi: Yaaaaaaargh C$ I'm so jealous I might essplode
	9:44am Wild Neil: X! This show rocks!
	9:44am Cecile: My friend was all "why are we seeing High on Fire, I don't even like their album, wait I do like Blessed Black Wings". and then halfway through the first song he was all "OMG these guys are fucking great!"
	♥ 9:44am pantz: X!!!! Live at the Whiskey A Go Go?
	9:44am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Holy shit. You did not just play an instrumental version of Hungry Wolf.
	9:45am Cecile: now I actually like this song. Good stuff.
	9:46am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Oh Cecile...This was the best song played endlessly on MTV.
	♥ 9:46am Uncle Michael: I never want this set to end.
	♥ 9:46am ChrisB.: I know I have this record. Perhaps filed under X?
	9:47am Cheri Pi: I was getting some really nice flashbacks of my youth during that X song
	9:47am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: huh. Didn't realize there was a minor chord in there. My last group covered this tune and we were apparently playing it WRONG.
	9:47am Polyus: Are we supposed to add our own vocals here?
	9:48am Pete L: Vocals ruin too many otherwise great rock bands Sonic Youth Led Zeppelin list goes on
	♥ 9:50am ChrisB.: This is Billy Zoom.
	♥ 9:53am MD: Ramonetures Neat! Went to the Exhibit at Queens art Museum....Yesterday for "Da Brothers" Got there early...by 5pm the line was out the door! Walked around with Monty Melnick..and Jimmy Gestapo... I don't know them but they are loud enough to announce they were there!!! Monty kept talking about all the stuff he put in!
	9:54am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: uh-wait. Now I get it. A no vocals show...just like Chris M.
	♥ 9:55am Joe McG: @just dc pat: Yeah, I get all of my best ideas from him.
	9:57am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: I jes keeding...man, I'm hungry already.
	9:58am Pete L: Never liked this song until now
	9:58am Marc Francis: What a fantastic cover!
	9:59am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: It's this hippie music. Hippies always make me hungry. HIPPIE.
	10:06am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: oh boy. I'm gonna have to get this album.
	10:06am BrianFromMA: OMG!!!! The Polnareff song in English!!!! Joe you are blowing my mind...
	♥ 10:06am fred: @Pete L: I'll have to disagree about your vocals ruining music list: I love Kim Gordon's voice
	10:07am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: ...and I dig X vocals.
	10:08am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: HOLY FUCK! Marianne Faithful covering Rosy!!!!!!! Now MY mind is blown.
	♥ 10:08am Nasty Les: @fred He could have been talking about Thurston or Lee too, but personally I agree with you, none of them are exactly 'classically good' singers but all add something to their songs.
	10:09am V Priceless: whoa - Faithfull Kinks!
	♥ 10:10am MD: What's wit da singing? I thought it was going to be no vocals for the whole show?
	10:13am Brendan: Sounds very Left Banke. Hi Joe
	10:14am Cecile: I would like to hear Marianne Faithfull sing that song now.
	♥ 10:15am fred: @Brendan: thanks! It rang a bell but I couldn't figure out what it reminded of
	♥ 10:19am Joe McG: Hi, Brendan!
	10:20am Anna: Ssssweet grooves this a.m. Letting the sunshine in.
	♥ 10:21am Andrew Waterloo: new EITS has been sounding pretty good.
	♥ 10:21am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	10:21am βrian: Slipping in the back of the classroom, juggling my three espressos.
	♥ 10:26am Greg from ZONE 5: Touché, Jeff.
	10:32am Wild Neil: That whole Knack thing puzzled me. Thanks for clearing that up!
	10:34am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: now that I know there are 2 Knacks, I'm more puzzled than ever. Here's a question for you: if you hate My Sharona, does that necessarily preclude you from liking It's Tricky?
	10:35am Wild Neil: My Sharona was pretty pervy.
	10:35am fleep: 8 bit greetings to all.
	♥ 10:40am MD: I'M HUNGRY NOW!!!
	♥ 10:40am Ken From Hyde Park: 2 bits 4 bits, 6 bits, a dollar! All for Surface Noise, stand up and holler!
	♥ 10:40am MD: THEY DANCE 'TIL THEY'RE SORE!!!
	10:41am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Here's some more: Sharona is a real person who appeared on the cover of the Knack album when she was 17. She was dating the singer. She now runs a real estate business and uses that song on her site. Why do I know all this?
	10:41am fleep: Actual song from the musical Little Me, how 'bout that.
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Tell me more, fleep, I don't know it.
	♥ 10:43am Marcel M: That vidya game song was great
	10:43am Brendan: Is it an Austin Powers number?
	10:44am fleep: Original cast album starred Sid Caesar. Neil Simon. Cy Coleman. Based on a book by Patrick Dennis. "I've Got Your Number" is the breakout song.
	10:45am βrian: Thing about the lead exposure, Cal!
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: Thanks, fleep!
	10:47am Will: How to enjoy a song you once despised: hear it on Joe's show!
	10:47am ?: aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! Years and years ago I thought, hoped, prayed I'd never hear this thing ever again.
	10:47am βrian: Is this song really about the Turnpike?
	10:47am thatpatsmith: cactus is our friend
	10:47am Listener Robert: "The Difference Between Going and Really Gone" was brilliant, touching, and adorable. Where did you find such a gem?
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @Will and Question Mark: Two contrasting opinions, ha ha.
	10:48am Sean B.: Thanks for the wonderful sounds and soundtrack for this fine morning Joe!.
	10:49am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Oh, dig this song.
	♥ 10:49am Ken From Hyde Park: If it was actually Wed/Thur midnight, EFD would have tickets to give away.
	10:49am ?: :-) Once despised, still despised. Though maybe I'm set for another 20 years now.
	10:50am Polyus: Early radio memory song. I was too little to pick up on some of those racy lyrics though.
	10:50am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Chances are you're good to go for a while.
	10:50am βrian: Oh dear: www.mysharona.com
	10:51am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: See? I wasn't lying.
	♥ 10:52am Ken From Hyde Park: When I stood up to receive my high school diploma, "My Sharona" was the song in my head.
	10:52am Wild Neil: "My Sharona" will forever be associated with walking around the halls of North Warren Regional High School prior to homeroom in 1979. I am 48 and just gettin' better with age since I have a beautiful Polish bride.
	10:55am Brendan: Is this the Delfonics singer or just the Philly soul ?
	♥ 10:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Wow, I haven't heard the actual version of this in a while…
	10:57am Listener Alexandra: This is the most diverse set possibly ever, Joe!
	10:57am josh: Had to readjust to hearing the original version of this Human League song on a WFMU show.
	♥ 10:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Cocktail bar!
	♥ 10:58am pantz: Take me back to high school mixers.
	10:59am V Priceless: we used to jokingly sing "Don't you want Mick Avery?"
	10:59am V Priceless: (Avory)
	11:00am Jeffy Jazz: Martha Quinn is up next, takin' ya through the next 3 hours...
	11:00am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: stuffin' Martha's muffins
	♥ 11:01am Andrew Waterloo: I loved the synth documentary where the guys from Human League and OMD talked about how bookish and nerdy they were
	11:02am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: I love Mick Avery.
	11:02am Brendan: @josh yeah Ken was playing the Svantana version so much i kind of got a Aghhhh !reflex
	11:02am Jeffy Jazz: R.I.P. Triple J
	♥ 11:03am Kelly Jones: I love Joe McGasko!
	11:03am Wild Neil: 1982...sheetrocking (in tenth grade) helping out my neighbor Mr. Cope....in the old farm "Tenant House" we sold to him in 1978 or so....
	11:05am Jeffy Jazz: I feel so old! I remember when Midnight at the Oasis AND Don't You Want Me were on the radio 24-7!
	♥ 11:05am rsj: the Original human league version undid all the progress the remix did for me...laying bare my memories of being tormented by mean little kids in JCC camp when I was 10. Those little bastards!
	11:06am Wild Neil: Pong was invented in 1972 per Wikipedia.
	♥ 11:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Greg from ZONE 5's brother will be showing art at the Record Fair! I'm not sure what zone he's from, but everybody go say hi to him.
	11:08am Brendan: I had the same pong game Joe, on a b/w tv with rabbit ears. Christmas was awesome!
	♥ 11:11am Joe McG: @Brendan: It was, indeed! @Greg: Nice news! @rsj: Sorry for the bad memories!
	♥ 11:12am Uncle Michael: I love Warner Bros. era Everlys.
	♥ 11:13am Greg from ZONE 5: @Joe: He makes collages out of record sleeves. I think you are going to lose your mind.
	11:13am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: I love the Everly Bros.
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @Greg: Nice, he can inspire our Record Fair LP station kiddies.
	♥ 11:15am Greg from ZONE 5: YES! I didn't even think of that…
	11:15am Marc Francis: This is beautiful, Joe!
	♥ 11:15am ChrisB.: There was a great Everly's comp put out by Warner Archives in 93 covering the Warner Years,'60-'69.
	♥ 11:16am fred: @Greg: he would be such a great fit at Sonic Protest! Too bad the money side of it would never work out
	11:16am βrian: Funny, I still associate the Everly Brothers with the 50s-era nostalgia discs hawked on late 70s TV.
	♥ 11:16am Marcel M: This is great
	♥ 11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: @fred: What's Sonic Protest?!
	11:18am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: I love these drums.
	♥ 11:19am fred: @Greg: totally awesome festival going on right now in and around Paris
	11:19am Marc Francis: Well, I know what record I am buying next...
	♥ 11:19am Andrew Waterloo: wow.
	♥ 11:21am Kelly Jones: Love this Waco Bro's song Joe!
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: Ha ha ha, Kelly!
	♥ 11:23am doctorjazz: Hi-had to post, love this Richard and Linda track (don't hear much of them these days).
	11:23am Jeff: That was a surprisingly contemporary flavor of Everlys! (for, you know, probably a terribly un-contemporary definition of "contemporary").
	♥ 11:24am Uncle Michael: The Everlys had a better "hippie period" than most of their contemporaries.
	♥ 11:25am Greg from ZONE 5: UGH. This fucking song.
	♥ 11:26am Greg from ZONE 5: ...which is to say that it's awesome, but it stings…
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @Greg: You said it, it's rough.
	♥ 11:27am fred: Contemporary is so yesterday's news today (but still pays my bills)
	11:29am Polyus: "her mouth was watery and wet" eeeew!
	11:29am josh: this fucking song!
	11:30am Cecile: I am imagining Jerry Reed singing this as we speak.
	11:31am Jeffy Jazz: Best Buy™ and Bed, Bath and Beyond™?! Is this cat getting a promotional fee?
	♥ 11:31am Ike: I was about to say, I'm surprised to hear Jesu on this show. But in fact, I don't think Jesu is on this side of this record, now that I'm hearing it. No trace of Jesu seems to be apparent in this song. This is a split single, right?
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Ike: No, they're on the whole record, as far as I can tell. Maybe not so much on this song, but there are only 2 songs on the album you can play on the radio.
	11:33am Cecile: Cledus lives.
	11:33am josh: Will Oldham on backing vox on this one. Mimi from Low is on another.
	11:34am Cecile: eastbound and down, we're listening to Yes in Zurich.
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @josh: Yes, Low is on a cut, too.
	11:35am Jeff: New feature on Surface Noise: Devastating File. Joe plays a bunch of songs which will each knock the legs out from under somebody in the listening audience, all in a row.
	♥ 11:36am fred: I wouldn't so callous as to say the FCC must die, but, you know, accidents do happen
	11:36am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: man, this is one fucking sad show.
	11:36am josh: yeah. it's fantastic. drink it in!
	♥ 11:37am Ike: That's a weird collaboration. Maybe the subtle background sounds in that final section of the song were Jesu? Jesu normally puts up a wall of noise, a bit a la MBV/Boris, but hey, branching out maybe.
	♥ 11:37am fred: @Jeff: how is that different from Joe's regular show?
	11:37am SeanG: lovin this! thanks Joe
	♥ 11:41am Ike: @Fred, if the FCC dies, who's going to mail ineffectual notices of forfeiture and easily-paid small fines to pirate radio stations the interfere w/WFMU?
	♥ 11:45am Andrew Waterloo: My introduction to the FCC was Pump Up the Volume. The men in yellow vans both circling and triangulating. Men of math and authoritarianism they were.
	♥ 11:45am fred: @Ike: I hadn't thought of that. Accidents do happen, though, I hadn't thought that was a good thing
	11:48am Cecile: That movie was so hilarious. FCC policing was nearly at its low then. Not to mention the writing. But it had a couple of good songs.
	11:50am Jeffy Jazz: Beautiful wind down of the program!
	♥ 11:51am fred: I actually liked the soundtrack, I think. It was such a long time ago
	11:53am KP: Great show, Joe. Heard whole thing on alt.side of street.
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Many thanks, KP and Jeffy Jazz!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: And thanks to everyone who listened and commented today. I appreciate your keeping me company, even when I get cranky.
	11:56am V Priceless: swell show, Joe - thanks!
	♥ 11:58am doctorjazz: Nice show, enjoyed it, thanks
	♥ 11:59am pantz: Great show, Joe. Thanks for getting me through a Monday morn.
	♥ 11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Joe! Hit the spot.
	♥ 11:59am steveo: What, noon already? Thanks for the great show, Joe.
	♥ 7:50am Joe McG: Today's playlist photo is by John Dalton. Thanks, John!
	1:35pm babyandnames: Thank u so much .awesome music www.babyandnames.com

	♥ 9:22am Marcel M: Great set Joe
	♥ 9:22am Brian in UK: Mr McGasko sor, how de devel are yus (adopts fake Irish accent)
	♥ 9:24am Joe McG: Thanks, Marcel! Hey to everybody: Brian UK, Chris DC, VP, Cheri Pi, Ike, Ken from HP, blee, Fred, MD, Guido, Sem Chumbo, Wild Neil, UM, Annie!
	9:25am Mark R: Extra groovy and beautiful sounds this gloomy Monday morning, Mr. McG!
	♥ 9:27am fred: That Razen track is great
	9:29am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: what ^ that guy said. Say, are you doing a 2016 show like Chris M?
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: No, I don't do anything like Chris M.
	9:33am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Oh.
	9:39am Cecile: Good morning, all! I finally saw High on Fire so the world was spared from my wrath. My friend also has a dude-crush on Cheri Pi's neighbors Skeletonwitch.
	9:39am Cecile: dcp, to be fair, nobody does anything like Chris M.
	9:40am Chris from DC: Was that with Abbath? Really wanted to see that too.
	9:41am Cecile: Yes, it was with Abbath. It was getting late, my friend hadn't eaten in like 20 hours, and he did a song from "I" right at the beginning, so I was ok with going early. But man, he did not spare on lighting, sound, tech, effects anything. It was a soccer stadium show in a club that holds 1500 max.
	9:42am Cecile: we missed False because they pushed the door time back, but Tribulation were both awesome and unintentially hilarious.
	9:42am Chris from DC: Nice
	9:43am Cheri Pi: Yaaaaaaargh C$ I'm so jealous I might essplode
	9:44am Wild Neil: X! This show rocks!
	9:44am Cecile: My friend was all "why are we seeing High on Fire, I don't even like their album, wait I do like Blessed Black Wings". and then halfway through the first song he was all "OMG these guys are fucking great!"
	♥ 9:44am pantz: X!!!! Live at the Whiskey A Go Go?
	9:44am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Holy shit. You did not just play an instrumental version of Hungry Wolf.
	9:45am Cecile: now I actually like this song. Good stuff.
	9:46am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Oh Cecile...This was the best song played endlessly on MTV.
	♥ 9:46am Uncle Michael: I never want this set to end.
	♥ 9:46am ChrisB.: I know I have this record. Perhaps filed under X?
	9:47am Cheri Pi: I was getting some really nice flashbacks of my youth during that X song
	9:47am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: huh. Didn't realize there was a minor chord in there. My last group covered this tune and we were apparently playing it WRONG.
	9:47am Polyus: Are we supposed to add our own vocals here?
	9:48am Pete L: Vocals ruin too many otherwise great rock bands Sonic Youth Led Zeppelin list goes on
	♥ 9:50am ChrisB.: This is Billy Zoom.
	♥ 9:53am MD: Ramonetures Neat! Went to the Exhibit at Queens art Museum....Yesterday for "Da Brothers" Got there early...by 5pm the line was out the door! Walked around with Monty Melnick..and Jimmy Gestapo... I don't know them but they are loud enough to announce they were there!!! Monty kept talking about all the stuff he put in!
	9:54am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: uh-wait. Now I get it. A no vocals show...just like Chris M.
	♥ 9:55am Joe McG: @just dc pat: Yeah, I get all of my best ideas from him.
	9:57am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: I jes keeding...man, I'm hungry already.
	9:58am Pete L: Never liked this song until now
	9:58am Marc Francis: What a fantastic cover!
	9:59am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: It's this hippie music. Hippies always make me hungry. HIPPIE.
	10:06am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: oh boy. I'm gonna have to get this album.
	10:06am BrianFromMA: OMG!!!! The Polnareff song in English!!!! Joe you are blowing my mind...
	♥ 10:06am fred: @Pete L: I'll have to disagree about your vocals ruining music list: I love Kim Gordon's voice
	10:07am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: ...and I dig X vocals.
	10:08am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: HOLY FUCK! Marianne Faithful covering Rosy!!!!!!! Now MY mind is blown.
	♥ 10:08am Nasty Les: @fred He could have been talking about Thurston or Lee too, but personally I agree with you, none of them are exactly 'classically good' singers but all add something to their songs.
	10:09am V Priceless: whoa - Faithfull Kinks!
	♥ 10:10am MD: What's wit da singing? I thought it was going to be no vocals for the whole show?
	10:13am Brendan: Sounds very Left Banke. Hi Joe
	10:14am Cecile: I would like to hear Marianne Faithfull sing that song now.
	♥ 10:15am fred: @Brendan: thanks! It rang a bell but I couldn't figure out what it reminded of
	♥ 10:19am Joe McG: Hi, Brendan!
	10:20am Anna: Ssssweet grooves this a.m. Letting the sunshine in.
	♥ 10:21am Andrew Waterloo: new EITS has been sounding pretty good.
	♥ 10:21am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	10:21am βrian: Slipping in the back of the classroom, juggling my three espressos.
	♥ 10:26am Greg from ZONE 5: Touché, Jeff.
	10:32am Wild Neil: That whole Knack thing puzzled me. Thanks for clearing that up!
	10:34am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: now that I know there are 2 Knacks, I'm more puzzled than ever. Here's a question for you: if you hate My Sharona, does that necessarily preclude you from liking It's Tricky?
	10:35am Wild Neil: My Sharona was pretty pervy.
	10:35am fleep: 8 bit greetings to all.
	♥ 10:40am MD: I'M HUNGRY NOW!!!
	♥ 10:40am Ken From Hyde Park: 2 bits 4 bits, 6 bits, a dollar! All for Surface Noise, stand up and holler!
	♥ 10:40am MD: THEY DANCE 'TIL THEY'RE SORE!!!
	10:41am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Here's some more: Sharona is a real person who appeared on the cover of the Knack album when she was 17. She was dating the singer. She now runs a real estate business and uses that song on her site. Why do I know all this?
	10:41am fleep: Actual song from the musical Little Me, how 'bout that.
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Tell me more, fleep, I don't know it.
	♥ 10:43am Marcel M: That vidya game song was great
	10:43am Brendan: Is it an Austin Powers number?
	10:44am fleep: Original cast album starred Sid Caesar. Neil Simon. Cy Coleman. Based on a book by Patrick Dennis. "I've Got Your Number" is the breakout song.
	10:45am βrian: Thing about the lead exposure, Cal!
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: Thanks, fleep!
	10:47am Will: How to enjoy a song you once despised: hear it on Joe's show!
	10:47am ?: aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! Years and years ago I thought, hoped, prayed I'd never hear this thing ever again.
	10:47am βrian: Is this song really about the Turnpike?
	10:47am thatpatsmith: cactus is our friend
	10:47am Listener Robert: "The Difference Between Going and Really Gone" was brilliant, touching, and adorable. Where did you find such a gem?
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @Will and Question Mark: Two contrasting opinions, ha ha.
	10:48am Sean B.: Thanks for the wonderful sounds and soundtrack for this fine morning Joe!.
	10:49am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Oh, dig this song.
	♥ 10:49am Ken From Hyde Park: If it was actually Wed/Thur midnight, EFD would have tickets to give away.
	10:49am ?: :-) Once despised, still despised. Though maybe I'm set for another 20 years now.
	10:50am Polyus: Early radio memory song. I was too little to pick up on some of those racy lyrics though.
	10:50am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: Chances are you're good to go for a while.
	10:50am βrian: Oh dear: www.mysharona.com
	10:51am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: See? I wasn't lying.
	♥ 10:52am Ken From Hyde Park: When I stood up to receive my high school diploma, "My Sharona" was the song in my head.
	10:52am Wild Neil: "My Sharona" will forever be associated with walking around the halls of North Warren Regional High School prior to homeroom in 1979. I am 48 and just gettin' better with age since I have a beautiful Polish bride.
	10:55am Brendan: Is this the Delfonics singer or just the Philly soul ?
	♥ 10:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Wow, I haven't heard the actual version of this in a while…
	10:57am Listener Alexandra: This is the most diverse set possibly ever, Joe!
	10:57am josh: Had to readjust to hearing the original version of this Human League song on a WFMU show.
	♥ 10:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Cocktail bar!
	♥ 10:58am pantz: Take me back to high school mixers.
	10:59am V Priceless: we used to jokingly sing "Don't you want Mick Avery?"
	10:59am V Priceless: (Avory)
	11:00am Jeffy Jazz: Martha Quinn is up next, takin' ya through the next 3 hours...
	11:00am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: stuffin' Martha's muffins
	♥ 11:01am Andrew Waterloo: I loved the synth documentary where the guys from Human League and OMD talked about how bookish and nerdy they were
	11:02am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: I love Mick Avery.
	11:02am Brendan: @josh yeah Ken was playing the Svantana version so much i kind of got a Aghhhh !reflex
	11:02am Jeffy Jazz: R.I.P. Triple J
	♥ 11:03am Kelly Jones: I love Joe McGasko!
	11:03am Wild Neil: 1982...sheetrocking (in tenth grade) helping out my neighbor Mr. Cope....in the old farm "Tenant House" we sold to him in 1978 or so....
	11:05am Jeffy Jazz: I feel so old! I remember when Midnight at the Oasis AND Don't You Want Me were on the radio 24-7!
	♥ 11:05am rsj: the Original human league version undid all the progress the remix did for me...laying bare my memories of being tormented by mean little kids in JCC camp when I was 10. Those little bastards!
	11:06am Wild Neil: Pong was invented in 1972 per Wikipedia.
	♥ 11:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Greg from ZONE 5's brother will be showing art at the Record Fair! I'm not sure what zone he's from, but everybody go say hi to him.
	11:08am Brendan: I had the same pong game Joe, on a b/w tv with rabbit ears. Christmas was awesome!
	♥ 11:11am Joe McG: @Brendan: It was, indeed! @Greg: Nice news! @rsj: Sorry for the bad memories!
	♥ 11:12am Uncle Michael: I love Warner Bros. era Everlys.
	♥ 11:13am Greg from ZONE 5: @Joe: He makes collages out of record sleeves. I think you are going to lose your mind.
	11:13am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: I love the Everly Bros.
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @Greg: Nice, he can inspire our Record Fair LP station kiddies.
	♥ 11:15am Greg from ZONE 5: YES! I didn't even think of that…
	11:15am Marc Francis: This is beautiful, Joe!
	♥ 11:15am ChrisB.: There was a great Everly's comp put out by Warner Archives in 93 covering the Warner Years,'60-'69.
	♥ 11:16am fred: @Greg: he would be such a great fit at Sonic Protest! Too bad the money side of it would never work out
	11:16am βrian: Funny, I still associate the Everly Brothers with the 50s-era nostalgia discs hawked on late 70s TV.
	♥ 11:16am Marcel M: This is great
	♥ 11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: @fred: What's Sonic Protest?!
	11:18am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: I love these drums.
	♥ 11:19am fred: @Greg: totally awesome festival going on right now in and around Paris
	11:19am Marc Francis: Well, I know what record I am buying next...
	♥ 11:19am Andrew Waterloo: wow.
	♥ 11:21am Kelly Jones: Love this Waco Bro's song Joe!
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: Ha ha ha, Kelly!
	♥ 11:23am doctorjazz: Hi-had to post, love this Richard and Linda track (don't hear much of them these days).
	11:23am Jeff: That was a surprisingly contemporary flavor of Everlys! (for, you know, probably a terribly un-contemporary definition of "contemporary").
	♥ 11:24am Uncle Michael: The Everlys had a better "hippie period" than most of their contemporaries.
	♥ 11:25am Greg from ZONE 5: UGH. This fucking song.
	♥ 11:26am Greg from ZONE 5: ...which is to say that it's awesome, but it stings…
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @Greg: You said it, it's rough.
	♥ 11:27am fred: Contemporary is so yesterday's news today (but still pays my bills)
	11:29am Polyus: "her mouth was watery and wet" eeeew!
	11:29am josh: this fucking song!
	11:30am Cecile: I am imagining Jerry Reed singing this as we speak.
	11:31am Jeffy Jazz: Best Buy™ and Bed, Bath and Beyond™?! Is this cat getting a promotional fee?
	♥ 11:31am Ike: I was about to say, I'm surprised to hear Jesu on this show. But in fact, I don't think Jesu is on this side of this record, now that I'm hearing it. No trace of Jesu seems to be apparent in this song. This is a split single, right?
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Ike: No, they're on the whole record, as far as I can tell. Maybe not so much on this song, but there are only 2 songs on the album you can play on the radio.
	11:33am Cecile: Cledus lives.
	11:33am josh: Will Oldham on backing vox on this one. Mimi from Low is on another.
	11:34am Cecile: eastbound and down, we're listening to Yes in Zurich.
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @josh: Yes, Low is on a cut, too.
	11:35am Jeff: New feature on Surface Noise: Devastating File. Joe plays a bunch of songs which will each knock the legs out from under somebody in the listening audience, all in a row.
	♥ 11:36am fred: I wouldn't so callous as to say the FCC must die, but, you know, accidents do happen
	11:36am just dc pat or dcp-your choice: man, this is one fucking sad show.
	11:36am josh: yeah. it's fantastic. drink it in!
	♥ 11:37am Ike: That's a weird collaboration. Maybe the subtle background sounds in that final section of the song were Jesu? Jesu normally puts up a wall of noise, a bit a la MBV/Boris, but hey, branching out maybe.
	♥ 11:37am fred: @Jeff: how is that different from Joe's regular show?
	11:37am SeanG: lovin this! thanks Joe
	♥ 11:41am Ike: @Fred, if the FCC dies, who's going to mail ineffectual notices of forfeiture and easily-paid small fines to pirate radio stations the interfere w/WFMU?
	♥ 11:45am Andrew Waterloo: My introduction to the FCC was Pump Up the Volume. The men in yellow vans both circling and triangulating. Men of math and authoritarianism they were.
	♥ 11:45am fred: @Ike: I hadn't thought of that. Accidents do happen, though, I hadn't thought that was a good thing
	11:48am Cecile: That movie was so hilarious. FCC policing was nearly at its low then. Not to mention the writing. But it had a couple of good songs.
	11:50am Jeffy Jazz: Beautiful wind down of the program!
	♥ 11:51am fred: I actually liked the soundtrack, I think. It was such a long time ago
	11:53am KP: Great show, Joe. Heard whole thing on alt.side of street.
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Many thanks, KP and Jeffy Jazz!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: And thanks to everyone who listened and commented today. I appreciate your keeping me company, even when I get cranky.
	11:56am V Priceless: swell show, Joe - thanks!
	♥ 11:58am doctorjazz: Nice show, enjoyed it, thanks
	♥ 11:59am pantz: Great show, Joe. Thanks for getting me through a Monday morn.
	♥ 11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Joe! Hit the spot.
	♥ 11:59am steveo: What, noon already? Thanks for the great show, Joe.
	♥ 7:50am Joe McG: Today's playlist photo is by John Dalton. Thanks, John!
