	♥ 9:17am Ike: Nice to hear FXO on the air, and saying the frequencies after each call letter too. Haven't heard that in a while. Optional and perfectly legal to mention the frequency even if between the call letters and the city of license. Great opening set, Joe.

	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: Thanks, KP! Hey melinda! Had to get my blood moving a bit.
	♥ 9:33am Ken From Hyde Park: Chris M. celebrated the music of Beavis & Butt-head last week. Which DJ will feature the music of Cop Rock? Or has that already happened?

	♥ 9:38am doctorjazz: Hi all, what a nice start to Monday morning!
	♥ 9:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Monday? It's Monday?? Crap, I need to go tow work! Laters!
	♥ 9:41am Ken From Hyde Park: to work I can't even get that right.
	9:42am Dennis Diken: love that Bluzettes cut. sounds like my man Buddy Saltzman on tubs.
	♥ 9:47am Joe McG: @Dennis: Great to have you hear. I think you may enjoy this next set!
	♥ 9:48am doctorjazz: Aww, so sweet (the Crystals)...
	9:49am annie: i'm getting chills with this song..
	♥ 9:49am doctorjazz: Do you have the follow up..."And Then His lawyers Served Me"?
	9:50am Dennis Diken: whats the scoop on this Crystals remake of "Then He Kissed Me"?
	♥ 9:51am doctorjazz: It did sound like a remake...I thought it was just my radio or internet signal...
	9:51am Jeffy Jazz: Wasn't that tune in Goodfellas, too? Digging the Monday AM set, Joe!
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: @DD: I don't know! I thought it was the original. I'll have to pull out the "Back to Mono" set and see.
	♥ 9:52am doctorjazz: Is this the start of a marathon?
	♥ 9:52am doctorjazz: Sonny really couldn't sing, could he?
	♥ 9:55am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. @doctorjazz, skiing was not his forte either.
	9:55am Cliff (moving to Prague!): This song is GREAT!
	9:56am Parq: Cliff, when and why?
	9:56am statoj: A brilliant host versions of a great song! The Beach Boys' take on point of view was interesting. Thanks, Joe, I needed this!
	♥ 9:57am Brian in UK: @Cliff Can I recommend this exhibition, quite wonderful. www.czechtourism.com...
	9:58am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Parq - end of this month, to teach English and travel around Europe. Brian in UK - Thanks! Been getting lots of recommendations of things to see there :)
	♥ 9:58am Guido from Cologne: First 3 recordings of "Then He Kissed Me" could involve same background musicians (so called Wrecking Crew), though different arranges: Jack Nietsche for the Crystals, Harold Battiste for Sonny & Cher, Brian Wilson for the Beach Boys
	♥ 9:59am doctorjazz: Go Joe!!! (hard to get back to work, hope this doesn't go on too long). @Brian in UK... :)
	10:00am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Oh, and I love Alfons Mucha and anything Art Nouveau! Excellent!
	10:03am Adrian in London: @Cliff Prague?
	10:05am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Adrian, London?
	10:05am SueAdynamo: don't forget moe tucker
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: @Guido: Excellent info, thanks! @drjazz: We'll see when I get tired of this song. Which may be never.
	♥ 10:07am Brian in UK: @Cliff there is a Mucha gallery in town but this is EPIC. Oddly the buildings in Prague are beautiful with lots of sculptures adorning them but the exhibition is in the dullest municipal building imaginable. Hope you like pork and beer.
	♥ 10:07am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	♥ 10:08am Greg from ZONE 5: BRUUUUUUUUUUUCE
	♥ 10:09am JP from KC: Mornin' everybody. Got into work today to find my office flooded. Swell start to the week. Good thing it didn't damage my computer, though. I'm more in need of some Monday morning Joe than usual today.
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: GREGGGGGGGGG!
	10:09am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Brian - I do like my pork, but I just went on a gluten-free diet so no beer....but I can still have whiskey & vodka Joe - is there a version of this song called "Then I Kissed Him"? How about "Then We Kissed Them" or "Then They Kissed Us"? Just to get all the pronouns in there
	10:10am Cooh John: then he KISSed me.
	10:10am statoj: Joe, to paraphrase Walt Whitman, you contain multitudes.
	♥ 10:11am Brian in UK: Joe is in Satisfaction mode.
	10:12am Cliff (moving to Prague!): "Then One Kissed It"?
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @Cooh John: Oh yeah, you know it. @Brian: Yes, completely. NOT satisfied yet.
	10:12am Parq: Wow, I thought he was going to stop after Ellie Greenwich. This is like watching a potential no hitter.
	♥ 10:14am Brian in UK: Bingenheimer in the bath.
	10:14am statoj: Cliff, I particularly appreciated the Hollywood Brats singing "then he asked me to be his bride" in 1973.
	10:15am Cliff (moving to Prague!): "Then Y'all Kissed Each Other"
	10:16am hip: pffffffffffffff - Australian Hard Ons?!?
	10:17am annie: enjoying this thoroughly
	♥ 10:18am pantz: Moe could make any song melancholy.
	10:19am SheWolf: <3<3 <3
	10:20am ?: done with this!
	10:20am thedunkel: whats with all the kissy kissy?
	10:21am Tommi Adderal: Yeah hey I know - think I'll go for a little variety and give Joe's show a try!
	10:21am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Pffffft youse guys. I could listen to this song all day.
	♥ 10:21am ChrisB.: How come no one's ever changed "kissed" to "kicked"?
	10:21am SheWolf: I was just going to say the same. All day is fine with me.
	♥ 10:22am Joe McG: @Tommi: Ha ha ha! I have to do Single File in 8 minutes, so I'm running out of time!
	10:22am hip: yeap! kiss kiss kiss
	10:22am Cliff (moving to Prague!): "Then Youse Guys Kissed Them Other Guys"
	♥ 10:23am Brian in UK: I cannot get past The Crystals. Accept No Substitute.
	10:24am thedunkel: the flying lizards!
	♥ 10:24am steveo: Each time I hear this, I can't wait to hear it again.
	♥ 10:24am Greg from ZONE 5: Man, you could do a whole separate show of songs that stole that beat.
	♥ 10:28am Marcel M: @Greg: Just Like Honey comes to mind.
	10:28am Tommi Adderal: Don Imus uses this a bed too. It's a cool bed.
	♥ 10:28am Greg from ZONE 5: @Marcel: EXACTLY what I was thinking.
	♥ 10:33am Joe McG: @Greg: Great suggestion, and Marcel, you're so right about the beat being used many times. Also "Be My Baby."
	♥ 10:35am Brian in UK: Would someone take this rain off our hands. It has ruined the cricket. One finds it most insufferable.
	♥ 10:37am doctorjazz: Richard Thompson did a tribute to that beat I really like, Jet Plane on a Rocking Chair, with Linda.
	10:37am βrian: It's too early for crickets here. We haven't even seen the fireflies yet.
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: Did T. Rex ever do a Crystals beat? He's so 50s influenced, but I can't think of one offhand.
	♥ 10:40am Brian in UK: @Joe Chuck Berry was his mentor once he went electric.
	♥ 10:40am Marcel M: damn.. what a start!
	10:42am Cliff (moving to Prague!): "Be My Baby" and "Just Like Honey" have the same beat, I never realized that before.
	10:46am Jeffy Jazz: Damn, I thought I could die without ever having to hear this song again. Thanks a lot, Joe!
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: @Jeffy: Ha ha ha! It's quite terrible.
	10:47am Cliff (moving to Prague!): The guy from Killing Joke complained that Nirvana's "Come As You Are" was a ripoff of their song "Eighties", but when it was pointed out to him that The Damned's "Life Goes On" starts with the same riff, he claimed to have never heard that song before.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Cliff: I don't think Kurt ever heard "More Than a Feeling," either.
	10:50am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Joe, it's a pretty obscure song. I don't blame him.
	10:51am Tommi Adderal: OK now get 20 versions of Sugar Daddy and then I'll really be impressed.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Cliff: So true. One of these days someone will have to have a Boston revival to remind us what we missed.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Tommi: Working on it!
	10:55am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Has anybody at WFMU ever played Boston on the air? Everybody on the comments board plotzed last night when Dave Mandl played The Grateful Dead.
	♥ 10:56am Brian in UK: Was it Boston that had one of the worst album covers ever.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: Fabio played Boston in 2011.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: But I have a strong suspicion that was Clay Pigeon guesting.
	♥ 10:59am Brian in UK: Sorry it was Orleans. Easy mistake to make.
	11:00am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Supposedly the commenters got Nachum Seagal to play Rush during Ken's show when he stepped out of the studio for a moment.
	♥ 11:01am Brian in UK: Useless fact No.23. Stewart Copeland is born on the same day & year as me.
	11:01am melinda: One doesn't often hear the Police on WFMU either. Nice.
	♥ 11:01am Greg from ZONE 5: Haha…I thought you meant the model Fabio played a show in Boston in 2011. I was like "Why does Joe have that information so readily available?"
	♥ 11:02am Joe McG: @Greg: I'm a Fabio follower from way back, ha ha.
	11:02am melinda: Greg that's funny.
	11:03am Jeffy Jazz: That was some of Copleland's best drumming. Wow!
	11:03am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Brian - I have the same birthday as Mick Jagger, just 35 years apart.
	11:04am Jeffy Jazz: Yeah, Joe, I wonder if there was overdubbing? The rolls just seem to go on while he plays the groove.
	♥ 11:07am coelacanth: 'probably my favorite police song and i had the volume down- trying to think of the t rex song with a " he kissed me beat". ...and i don't think Copeland needed any overdubs. that he could play.
	11:08am βrian: That LaVette title makes me think of "Bernie made me white."
	11:09am Dean: Schwarze Fahne
	11:12am melinda: Yay English folk
	11:14am DaveinPA: Up The Swarbs!
	♥ 11:14am Brian in UK: Swarb had a double lung transplant just over ten years ago and he still kept gigging.
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @Brian: I know, it's really hard to imagine, but he soldiered through for another 10+ years!
	♥ 11:16am Brian in UK: Joe same with hearts, if the fit is right you can survive for many years. Not heard of a double heart transplant....yet.
	11:16am Will: I like English folk! Just discovered another good band from the Fairport/Steeleye school, Spriguns of Tolgus. Their LP "Revel Weird and Wild" (1976) is a real delight. Lots of violin, female vocals from Mandy Morton. Now to settle into some Swarbrick....
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @Will: Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check them out!
	♥ 11:23am Brian in UK: Pibroch on the fiddle?
	♥ 11:24am Sem Chumbo: Sounds like there should be a .gif of little people dancing around Stonehenge.
	♥ 11:25am coelacanth: Joe Thanks for the excellent Then he kissed me tribute. (old news now but my computer wasn't on before) surprisingly i thought only 2 of them were terrible. more surprising is that neither was the kiss version! - 'good to be reminded of how Great that Sonny and Cher album is.
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Sem: Hee hee! @coelcanth: Thanks!
	♥ 11:27am Brian in UK: Hey Sem, must revisit The Tap now it is the cricket season. How are the spuds doing?
	11:27am Marc Francis: Love this Journeyman song!
	11:29am Carmichael: Heya Joe and Fairport Convention.
	♥ 11:29am Sem Chumbo: It's been an uncharacteristically cold and wet spring, Brian. Spuds languishing, dreaming of something warm, like a deep fryer.
	♥ 11:29am doctorjazz: Love this stuff as well...have to check out the Spriguns of Tolgus, thanks @will.
	♥ 11:29am Brian in UK: A friend of mine saw Fairport a couple of days before Swarb passed away. They are still on top form playing a folk club in Nettlebed.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Brian: The current incarnation of the band has been together longer than all of the other versions of the band combined!
	11:32am geezerette: Lovely fiddle!
	♥ 11:33am Brian in UK: Sem it is vile the last two days, cannot put any toms outside. Joe I think Mattacks and Nichol are still there. Cropredy Festival coming up in August if memory serves. Alice Cooper played there the other year. Bizarre.
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @Brian: Lovely. I wish I'd been fortunate enough to attend one, but thankfully there are many recordings. Even an entire box set of just Cropedy recordings!
	11:35am βrian: Pretty muggy on the isthmus lately, though now we have some respite. The tomatoes are well over two feet already — a record for us. No room for spuds, sadly.
	11:36am Cliff (moving to Prague!): This is beautiful.
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: Joe Cropredy is right by the Oxford Canal, two blokes I know of usually canoe there from further south and meet up with the car carrying the tents etc. @βrian Good work. What varieties?
	11:39am geezerette: Wonderful tribute Joe.
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth: so, so good. Thank you Joe. - rest in peace Dave Swarbrick.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @geezerette: Glad you're enjoying it! I think he was a wonderful player and wonderful spirit.
	11:43am geezerette: www.theguardian.com... Guardian obit.
	11:44am Cliff (moving to Prague!): This I could also listen to all day.
	♥ 11:44am maestroso: Oh yeah. Dirty Linen. I need this album.
	11:44am geezerette: Yes Joe,you can hear all that in his music!
	11:46am Whooda: nice noise surprise DJ Joe.
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: I'm going to read his funny questionnaire before I go off the air.
	11:46am Carmichael: I have the Cropredy performance of this medley on a DVD called Folk Rock Anthology. They also do Mastty Groves separately.
	11:46am geezerette: (whispering): Good morning invisible friends. :D
	11:47am βrian: Suddeth Brandywine, Brandywine, Trophy, WI-55, John Baer, and Blondkopfchen. All Seed Savers varieties.
	♥ 11:47am Brian in UK: Doctor Monk unpacks his trunk. @Cliff good luck in the Czech Republic.
	♥ 11:48am Sem Chumbo: All of this sounds like a Cape Breton kitchen party. So, that is a HUGE compliment. The Celtic spirit lives in so many places.
	♥ 11:48am Greg from ZONE 5: So much pretty
	♥ 11:50am Brian in UK: @βrian all new ones to me. We have got one called Harbinger first time out this year.
	11:51am geezerette: It's good to be reminded that humans are capable of this.
	♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: Doctor McGasko unpacks his records. Great show as ever, Joe.
	11:52am βrian: www.seedsavers.org... Mmm, good.
	11:53am geezerette: Brian your tomatoes will be delicious!
	11:55am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Thank you Brian, hopefully I'll get a chance later this year to visit the UK as well....and thanks Joe for the show today!
	11:55am geezerette: Glad I got to hear some of this sweet show.Thanks Joe!
	11:55am βrian: We have to give credit, of course, to the neighbor's chickens who donated generously.
	11:56am βrian: ✓-Cliff: Bon voyage.
	11:56am geezerette: haha!
	11:57am geezerette: Cliff,when you taking off?
	♥ 11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am Dennis Diken: back to "then he kissed me"...I'd need to double check but I'm pretty sure that the Beach Boys themselves played on their own version. the beat in question is the Latin "baion", heard on many early Drifters and Bacharach tracks as well
	11:59am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Thanks βrian with a β! geezerette - my flight is June 29th. Have lots of packing/getting rid of stuff to do still :)
	♥ 4:40pm Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Thanks for the info, Dennis!

	♥ 9:17am Ike: Nice to hear FXO on the air, and saying the frequencies after each call letter too. Haven't heard that in a while. Optional and perfectly legal to mention the frequency even if between the call letters and the city of license. Great opening set, Joe.
	♥ 9:18am Joe McG: Hi, everybody! Good morning and welcome to the program. @Guido: I'm not sure about all of them, but we've seen two so far in the FMU new bin in the past couple of months.
	♥ 9:21am Joe McG: @Ike: Agree! Great to see Frank live and in person in the studio this morning!
	9:21am KP: It's National I Don't Have to Move My Car Day but I still tuned in, Joe.
	♥ 9:25am melinda: Good morning! I like the dancey set.
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: Thanks, KP! Hey melinda! Had to get my blood moving a bit.
	♥ 9:33am Ken From Hyde Park: Chris M. celebrated the music of Beavis & Butt-head last week. Which DJ will feature the music of Cop Rock? Or has that already happened?
	9:34am Polyus: Aw, that was a nice song.
	9:34am annie: it's been a great start to the show, joe..
	♥ 9:35am Joe McG: Thanks, annie, nice to have you hear, as always.
	♥ 9:38am doctorjazz: Hi all, what a nice start to Monday morning!
	♥ 9:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Monday? It's Monday?? Crap, I need to go tow work! Laters!
	♥ 9:41am Ken From Hyde Park: to work I can't even get that right.
	9:42am Dennis Diken: love that Bluzettes cut. sounds like my man Buddy Saltzman on tubs.
	♥ 9:47am Joe McG: @Dennis: Great to have you hear. I think you may enjoy this next set!
	♥ 9:48am doctorjazz: Aww, so sweet (the Crystals)...
	9:49am annie: i'm getting chills with this song..
	♥ 9:49am doctorjazz: Do you have the follow up..."And Then His lawyers Served Me"?
	9:50am Dennis Diken: whats the scoop on this Crystals remake of "Then He Kissed Me"?
	♥ 9:51am doctorjazz: It did sound like a remake...I thought it was just my radio or internet signal...
	9:51am Jeffy Jazz: Wasn't that tune in Goodfellas, too? Digging the Monday AM set, Joe!
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: @DD: I don't know! I thought it was the original. I'll have to pull out the "Back to Mono" set and see.
	♥ 9:52am doctorjazz: Is this the start of a marathon?
	♥ 9:52am doctorjazz: Sonny really couldn't sing, could he?
	♥ 9:55am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. @doctorjazz, skiing was not his forte either.
	9:55am Cliff (moving to Prague!): This song is GREAT!
	9:56am Parq: Cliff, when and why?
	9:56am statoj: A brilliant host versions of a great song! The Beach Boys' take on point of view was interesting. Thanks, Joe, I needed this!
	♥ 9:57am Brian in UK: @Cliff Can I recommend this exhibition, quite wonderful. www.czechtourism.com...
	9:58am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Parq - end of this month, to teach English and travel around Europe. Brian in UK - Thanks! Been getting lots of recommendations of things to see there :)
	♥ 9:58am Guido from Cologne: First 3 recordings of "Then He Kissed Me" could involve same background musicians (so called Wrecking Crew), though different arranges: Jack Nietsche for the Crystals, Harold Battiste for Sonny & Cher, Brian Wilson for the Beach Boys
	♥ 9:59am doctorjazz: Go Joe!!! (hard to get back to work, hope this doesn't go on too long). @Brian in UK... :)
	10:00am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Oh, and I love Alfons Mucha and anything Art Nouveau! Excellent!
	10:03am Adrian in London: @Cliff Prague?
	10:05am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Adrian, London?
	10:05am SueAdynamo: don't forget moe tucker
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: @Guido: Excellent info, thanks! @drjazz: We'll see when I get tired of this song. Which may be never.
	♥ 10:07am Brian in UK: @Cliff there is a Mucha gallery in town but this is EPIC. Oddly the buildings in Prague are beautiful with lots of sculptures adorning them but the exhibition is in the dullest municipal building imaginable. Hope you like pork and beer.
	♥ 10:07am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	♥ 10:08am Greg from ZONE 5: BRUUUUUUUUUUUCE
	♥ 10:09am JP from KC: Mornin' everybody. Got into work today to find my office flooded. Swell start to the week. Good thing it didn't damage my computer, though. I'm more in need of some Monday morning Joe than usual today.
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: GREGGGGGGGGG!
	10:09am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Brian - I do like my pork, but I just went on a gluten-free diet so no beer....but I can still have whiskey & vodka Joe - is there a version of this song called "Then I Kissed Him"? How about "Then We Kissed Them" or "Then They Kissed Us"? Just to get all the pronouns in there
	10:10am Cooh John: then he KISSed me.
	10:10am statoj: Joe, to paraphrase Walt Whitman, you contain multitudes.
	♥ 10:11am Brian in UK: Joe is in Satisfaction mode.
	10:12am Cliff (moving to Prague!): "Then One Kissed It"?
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @Cooh John: Oh yeah, you know it. @Brian: Yes, completely. NOT satisfied yet.
	10:12am Parq: Wow, I thought he was going to stop after Ellie Greenwich. This is like watching a potential no hitter.
	♥ 10:14am Brian in UK: Bingenheimer in the bath.
	10:14am statoj: Cliff, I particularly appreciated the Hollywood Brats singing "then he asked me to be his bride" in 1973.
	10:15am Cliff (moving to Prague!): "Then Y'all Kissed Each Other"
	10:16am hip: pffffffffffffff - Australian Hard Ons?!?
	10:17am annie: enjoying this thoroughly
	♥ 10:18am pantz: Moe could make any song melancholy.
	10:19am SheWolf: <3<3 <3
	10:20am ?: done with this!
	10:20am thedunkel: whats with all the kissy kissy?
	10:21am Tommi Adderal: Yeah hey I know - think I'll go for a little variety and give Joe's show a try!
	10:21am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Pffffft youse guys. I could listen to this song all day.
	♥ 10:21am ChrisB.: How come no one's ever changed "kissed" to "kicked"?
	10:21am SheWolf: I was just going to say the same. All day is fine with me.
	♥ 10:22am Joe McG: @Tommi: Ha ha ha! I have to do Single File in 8 minutes, so I'm running out of time!
	10:22am hip: yeap! kiss kiss kiss
	10:22am Cliff (moving to Prague!): "Then Youse Guys Kissed Them Other Guys"
	♥ 10:23am Brian in UK: I cannot get past The Crystals. Accept No Substitute.
	10:24am thedunkel: the flying lizards!
	♥ 10:24am steveo: Each time I hear this, I can't wait to hear it again.
	♥ 10:24am Greg from ZONE 5: Man, you could do a whole separate show of songs that stole that beat.
	♥ 10:28am Marcel M: @Greg: Just Like Honey comes to mind.
	10:28am Tommi Adderal: Don Imus uses this a bed too. It's a cool bed.
	♥ 10:28am Greg from ZONE 5: @Marcel: EXACTLY what I was thinking.
	♥ 10:33am Joe McG: @Greg: Great suggestion, and Marcel, you're so right about the beat being used many times. Also "Be My Baby."
	♥ 10:35am Brian in UK: Would someone take this rain off our hands. It has ruined the cricket. One finds it most insufferable.
	♥ 10:37am doctorjazz: Richard Thompson did a tribute to that beat I really like, Jet Plane on a Rocking Chair, with Linda.
	10:37am βrian: It's too early for crickets here. We haven't even seen the fireflies yet.
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: Did T. Rex ever do a Crystals beat? He's so 50s influenced, but I can't think of one offhand.
	♥ 10:40am Brian in UK: @Joe Chuck Berry was his mentor once he went electric.
	♥ 10:40am Marcel M: damn.. what a start!
	10:42am Cliff (moving to Prague!): "Be My Baby" and "Just Like Honey" have the same beat, I never realized that before.
	10:46am Jeffy Jazz: Damn, I thought I could die without ever having to hear this song again. Thanks a lot, Joe!
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: @Jeffy: Ha ha ha! It's quite terrible.
	10:47am Cliff (moving to Prague!): The guy from Killing Joke complained that Nirvana's "Come As You Are" was a ripoff of their song "Eighties", but when it was pointed out to him that The Damned's "Life Goes On" starts with the same riff, he claimed to have never heard that song before.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Cliff: I don't think Kurt ever heard "More Than a Feeling," either.
	10:50am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Joe, it's a pretty obscure song. I don't blame him.
	10:51am Tommi Adderal: OK now get 20 versions of Sugar Daddy and then I'll really be impressed.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Cliff: So true. One of these days someone will have to have a Boston revival to remind us what we missed.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Tommi: Working on it!
	10:55am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Has anybody at WFMU ever played Boston on the air? Everybody on the comments board plotzed last night when Dave Mandl played The Grateful Dead.
	♥ 10:56am Brian in UK: Was it Boston that had one of the worst album covers ever.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: Fabio played Boston in 2011.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: But I have a strong suspicion that was Clay Pigeon guesting.
	♥ 10:59am Brian in UK: Sorry it was Orleans. Easy mistake to make.
	11:00am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Supposedly the commenters got Nachum Seagal to play Rush during Ken's show when he stepped out of the studio for a moment.
	♥ 11:01am Brian in UK: Useless fact No.23. Stewart Copeland is born on the same day & year as me.
	11:01am melinda: One doesn't often hear the Police on WFMU either. Nice.
	♥ 11:01am Greg from ZONE 5: Haha…I thought you meant the model Fabio played a show in Boston in 2011. I was like "Why does Joe have that information so readily available?"
	♥ 11:02am Joe McG: @Greg: I'm a Fabio follower from way back, ha ha.
	11:02am melinda: Greg that's funny.
	11:03am Jeffy Jazz: That was some of Copleland's best drumming. Wow!
	11:03am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Brian - I have the same birthday as Mick Jagger, just 35 years apart.
	11:04am Jeffy Jazz: Yeah, Joe, I wonder if there was overdubbing? The rolls just seem to go on while he plays the groove.
	♥ 11:07am coelacanth: 'probably my favorite police song and i had the volume down- trying to think of the t rex song with a " he kissed me beat". ...and i don't think Copeland needed any overdubs. that he could play.
	11:08am βrian: That LaVette title makes me think of "Bernie made me white."
	11:09am Dean: Schwarze Fahne
	11:12am melinda: Yay English folk
	11:14am DaveinPA: Up The Swarbs!
	♥ 11:14am Brian in UK: Swarb had a double lung transplant just over ten years ago and he still kept gigging.
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @Brian: I know, it's really hard to imagine, but he soldiered through for another 10+ years!
	♥ 11:16am Brian in UK: Joe same with hearts, if the fit is right you can survive for many years. Not heard of a double heart transplant....yet.
	11:16am Will: I like English folk! Just discovered another good band from the Fairport/Steeleye school, Spriguns of Tolgus. Their LP "Revel Weird and Wild" (1976) is a real delight. Lots of violin, female vocals from Mandy Morton. Now to settle into some Swarbrick....
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @Will: Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check them out!
	♥ 11:23am Brian in UK: Pibroch on the fiddle?
	♥ 11:24am Sem Chumbo: Sounds like there should be a .gif of little people dancing around Stonehenge.
	♥ 11:25am coelacanth: Joe Thanks for the excellent Then he kissed me tribute. (old news now but my computer wasn't on before) surprisingly i thought only 2 of them were terrible. more surprising is that neither was the kiss version! - 'good to be reminded of how Great that Sonny and Cher album is.
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Sem: Hee hee! @coelcanth: Thanks!
	♥ 11:27am Brian in UK: Hey Sem, must revisit The Tap now it is the cricket season. How are the spuds doing?
	11:27am Marc Francis: Love this Journeyman song!
	11:29am Carmichael: Heya Joe and Fairport Convention.
	♥ 11:29am Sem Chumbo: It's been an uncharacteristically cold and wet spring, Brian. Spuds languishing, dreaming of something warm, like a deep fryer.
	♥ 11:29am doctorjazz: Love this stuff as well...have to check out the Spriguns of Tolgus, thanks @will.
	♥ 11:29am Brian in UK: A friend of mine saw Fairport a couple of days before Swarb passed away. They are still on top form playing a folk club in Nettlebed.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Brian: The current incarnation of the band has been together longer than all of the other versions of the band combined!
	11:32am geezerette: Lovely fiddle!
	♥ 11:33am Brian in UK: Sem it is vile the last two days, cannot put any toms outside. Joe I think Mattacks and Nichol are still there. Cropredy Festival coming up in August if memory serves. Alice Cooper played there the other year. Bizarre.
	♥ 11:34am Joe McG: @Brian: Lovely. I wish I'd been fortunate enough to attend one, but thankfully there are many recordings. Even an entire box set of just Cropedy recordings!
	11:35am βrian: Pretty muggy on the isthmus lately, though now we have some respite. The tomatoes are well over two feet already — a record for us. No room for spuds, sadly.
	11:36am Cliff (moving to Prague!): This is beautiful.
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: Joe Cropredy is right by the Oxford Canal, two blokes I know of usually canoe there from further south and meet up with the car carrying the tents etc. @βrian Good work. What varieties?
	11:39am geezerette: Wonderful tribute Joe.
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth: so, so good. Thank you Joe. - rest in peace Dave Swarbrick.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @geezerette: Glad you're enjoying it! I think he was a wonderful player and wonderful spirit.
	11:43am geezerette: www.theguardian.com... Guardian obit.
	11:44am Cliff (moving to Prague!): This I could also listen to all day.
	♥ 11:44am maestroso: Oh yeah. Dirty Linen. I need this album.
	11:44am geezerette: Yes Joe,you can hear all that in his music!
	11:46am Whooda: nice noise surprise DJ Joe.
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: I'm going to read his funny questionnaire before I go off the air.
	11:46am Carmichael: I have the Cropredy performance of this medley on a DVD called Folk Rock Anthology. They also do Mastty Groves separately.
	11:46am geezerette: (whispering): Good morning invisible friends. :D
	11:47am βrian: Suddeth Brandywine, Brandywine, Trophy, WI-55, John Baer, and Blondkopfchen. All Seed Savers varieties.
	♥ 11:47am Brian in UK: Doctor Monk unpacks his trunk. @Cliff good luck in the Czech Republic.
	♥ 11:48am Sem Chumbo: All of this sounds like a Cape Breton kitchen party. So, that is a HUGE compliment. The Celtic spirit lives in so many places.
	♥ 11:48am Greg from ZONE 5: So much pretty
	♥ 11:50am Brian in UK: @βrian all new ones to me. We have got one called Harbinger first time out this year.
	11:51am geezerette: It's good to be reminded that humans are capable of this.
	♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: Doctor McGasko unpacks his records. Great show as ever, Joe.
	11:52am βrian: www.seedsavers.org... Mmm, good.
	11:53am geezerette: Brian your tomatoes will be delicious!
	11:55am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Thank you Brian, hopefully I'll get a chance later this year to visit the UK as well....and thanks Joe for the show today!
	11:55am geezerette: Glad I got to hear some of this sweet show.Thanks Joe!
	11:55am βrian: We have to give credit, of course, to the neighbor's chickens who donated generously.
	11:56am βrian: ✓-Cliff: Bon voyage.
	11:56am geezerette: haha!
	11:57am geezerette: Cliff,when you taking off?
	♥ 11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am Dennis Diken: back to "then he kissed me"...I'd need to double check but I'm pretty sure that the Beach Boys themselves played on their own version. the beat in question is the Latin "baion", heard on many early Drifters and Bacharach tracks as well
	11:59am Cliff (moving to Prague!): Thanks βrian with a β! geezerette - my flight is June 29th. Have lots of packing/getting rid of stuff to do still :)
	♥ 4:40pm Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Thanks for the info, Dennis!
