	9:17am KP: Good Monday to you, Joe!
	9:18am Joe McG: Howdy, Guido, Sem, and KP!
	9:19am MD: Hello Hello Hellooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! FMU!!!!
	9:19am Guido from Cologne: Love the sounds!
	9:21am melinda: I love the Paris Tx soundtrack. The Bruce Langhorne was beautiful, too. I love soundtracks.
	9:21am Joe McG: Hello, MD!
	9:22am annie: one of my favorite movies, HDS can do no wrong
	👻 9:24am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. I was about to write are we going to hear some Dean Moriarty then realised wrong Dean, wrong Sherlock.
	👻 9:25am Brian in UK: My favourite Wenders is Kings of the Road. Great start to a film when he drives the car into the Rhine.
	9:26am Joe McG: Good afternoon to you, Brian!
	9:26am melinda: @annie: agree
	9:27am fred: Swagmas came two days ago for me, in a shoe box of all things. Talk about a shoestring operation
	9:27am melinda: Although every time I see the movie it seems much longer than i remembered
	9:27am mauri: good afternoon folks.
	9:28am Joe McG: Hey fred--At least we remembered to take the sneakers out of the box before sending it! @mauri: Good afternoon to you, too!
	👻 9:29am Brian in UK: Hello mauri, we are getting five seasons in one day here.
	9:34am annie: not that there's anything wrong with it, there's a melancholy to the show so far. bittersweet
	👻 9:35am Brian in UK: Joe, ever heard California 99 by Jimmie Haskell, strange old article, big foldout cover with a spoken story and kindof soundtrack.
	9:36am mauri: Brianinuk here it suddenly plummeted to 11C. It's raining all day too. these songs makes me think of driving up north in autumn cold. love this kind of romantism.
	9:37am Joe McG: @Brian: No, Brian, but your description makes me want to discover it!
	9:37am fred: @Joe: good thing you did, these would have been too small for me. And I only wear cowboy boots anyway
	👻 9:38am Brian in UK: mauri, know what you mean. Are you getting smells of Autumn yet, bit early maybe.
	9:39am sphere: hey there. was this guy in Chicago the band?
	9:39am Joe McG: @sphere: Yeah, that's the fella.
	9:40am melinda: I smell a bit of autumn melancholy, too, and I like it.
	9:41am sphere: I was a teenage Chicago fan, so this voice evokes a lot of memories.
	9:43am Guido from Cologne: Jimmi Haskell: is also famous as an arranger for classics like "bridge over Troubled water" and "ode to Billie Joe". And Rex's farewell-tune is Haskell's "Rockin' The Orbit" from 1958 LP "Count Down". I find certain arranger personalities interesting and they're much too often in the shadow of producer's personalities.
	9:44am mauri: no autumn tints nor smells yet.
	9:44am Nardo: In regards to Electra Glide in Blue: "The soundtrack album also included a four-page fold-out poster of Robert Blake standing beside his cycle on a bluff overlooking Monument Valley." Oooh boy!!!
	👻 9:46am Brian in UK: Robert Blake has one of those red/green air fresheners on his Harley. Bonkers.
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: @Guido bit like Bill Szymczyk, had to cut and paste that!!
	9:48am sphere: Chicago's Terry Kath was also a very good guitarist who had avant tendencies. See "Free Form Guitar," which takes up one side of their debut 2LP set. Sharrock and Hendrix would have been pleased.
	9:49am annie: i loved Ulee's Gold
	9:51am KP: You ruined it!
	9:52am βrian: "I fought the law, and I won?" ... Nah.
	9:52am KP: Annie, I was thinking all along, Ulee's Gold
	9:52am Joe McG: @KP: ha ha ha!
	👻 9:54am Brian in UK: Pure Pop for Aussies Everywhere.
	👻 9:55am tadpoles: Chook = chicken .... sounds from Down under nest ce pas?
	9:55am annie: if i've seen a movie before and don't remember it, i love watching it with new eyes and brain. i have The Hired Hand queued up.
	9:55am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Yes! Thanks for the chicken guidance!
	9:57am βrian: "Yace, that's right."
	9:57am pantz: Morning, folks. Thanks for reminding me of Paris, Texas, Joe. I really need to see that movie again. It was all about mood and you could really feel the lonesomeness of the two main characters which was also reflected in the wide angle shots of the dusty old town.
	10:01am βrian: @pantz: My GF showed me that film and told me nothing about it beforehand. (As it should be.) I was floored.
	10:01am Joe McG: @pantz: My pleasure! Yes, it's always worth rewatching.
	10:03am βrian: To this day, I drop the h when I say "hunter."
	10:04am pantz: It was a perfect role for Stanton. A brilliant and versatile actor, but his hang dog look was perfect for such a weary soul.
	10:06am annie: i watched a short bio-pic of mr stanton, it was quite enlightening. he's a humble fellow.
	👻 10:07am Brian in UK: So which walk do you prefer HDS in Paris or Vincent Gallo's mincing in Buffalo 66?
	10:09am annie: i have a hard time watching vincent gallo. something doesn't ring true.. i DO, howver, give his acting some views just to be sure i'm not too biased. ...mmm. not yet, bobbie
	👻 10:10am Ken From Hyde Park: I watched The Naked Gun: 33-1/3 over the weekend. I read that the original subtitle was to be "For the Record," but the producers figured too few people would get the joke so they gave it "The Final Insult" instead.
	10:10am Polyus: Belated thumbs up for Electra Glide. Me and Alan Ladd are not the same height.
	10:11am Brendan: Good morning. I like this.
	10:11am Todd-o-phonic: YOU SURVIVED THE ROCKINGHAMS!
	👻 10:12am Brian in UK: Joe, have you heard Tommy B's previous record Perfect Abandon. The opening track is so sad, you will not believe it.
	10:14am Roberto: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
	10:15am βrian: Tremolololololo.
	10:17am Roberto: NOoooooOOOooOOoooOOoOOOoooo
	10:17am Joe McG: TODD, somehow I did! @Polyus: Ha ha! I love the Alan Ladd line. @Brian: I have! Tom Brosseau is very underrated.
	10:17am Sem Chumbo: Now this is a fine thing, Joe. Bang, Bang. You got it!
	10:17am fred: Pan Ron! She was so great, what a loss
	10:18am Joe McG: Rich Hazelton did 3 hours of "Bang Bang" on Friday night. Check it out: wfmu.org...
	10:18am Roberto: www.freelargeimages.com...
	10:18am steve: yesss
	10:19am Sem Chumbo: @Roberto: 403 on that link, for me.
	10:19am Guido from Cologne: ... what are the rumors that Cher is cloese to death and penniless? Ugly press?
	10:20am Roberto: Sorry Sem. In a nutshell: NO
	10:20am Sem Chumbo: K :-D
	10:22am annie: fwiw a couple of yahoo searches this am produced a 403 as well. not normal...
	10:24am SeanG: Howdy Joe and everyone!
	10:27am Joe McG: Howdy, SeanG and Steve and Roberto!
	👻 10:27am Brian in UK: Buddah, now there was a funny old label, never sure which direction it was heading.
	10:29am Guido from Cologne: i have tzhis Stories album. my favorite is "hey France"
	10:31am Guido from Cologne: just see i have the second album.
	10:37am Tim 07030: Good morning, Joe! Here's a story (get it?): I played softball once with Ian Lloyd and he told me he knew he had arrived when, while he was listening, WABC did an 'Instaaant Replay!" of "Brother Louie".
	10:37am pantz: I feel out of breath just listening to Little Richard
	10:38am Joe McG: @Tim: Cool story, Tim, in many ways! @pantz: I think he got out of breath himself towards the end!
	10:38am SeanG: same here pantz! the true king of rocknroll
	10:40am Sem Chumbo: I wonder if any of the Big Hole Bronco Busters are still among the living?
	👻 10:40am Ken From Hyde Park: I hope to hear more Little Richard on his upcoming birthday (Monday, Dec. 5)!
	10:41am Joe McG: @Sem: It's nice to think there's at least one Big Hole Bronco Buster among us.
	10:42am βrian: Oh, quit your cryin', Slim!
	10:43am Sem Chumbo: Nice, nice, nice segue there, Joe.
	10:43am Jeff: Toilets of your head?
	10:43am steve: wait what
	10:43am Joe McG: @Sem: Hard to segue with that record. It just starts up!
	10:44am Joe McG: @Jeff and Steve: You guys have to look up those lyrics! "Flush the evil..."
	10:47am Polyus: Last week I was in Detroit and hit Peoples Records - so many boxes of 7", I got dizzy just looking at them. Anyone else been there?
	10:49am Joe McG: @Polyus: Never been to Detroit, but that kind of panic sounds like my kind.
	10:49am melinda: I always liked this Michael Jackson number even though I'd mostly lost interest in him at that point.
	10:52am Joe McG: Wow, if you ever need a starker representation of 80s production vs. 70s production....
	10:53am Nate in Detroit: @polyus - I just moved in a few blocks from Peoples Records. The collection there is almost overwhelming. I've left there empty handed more than once just because I can't decide what to pick up and what to pass.
	10:53am Sem Chumbo: Look at me, I can't disco worth a damn! Sorry, 70s flashback.
	10:53am melinda: @joe: true!
	10:54am Brendan: Everybody out on the disco dance floor
	10:54am Guido from Cologne: producer Michael Kunze earned fame as Schlager-Lyricist first. Unusual career.
	10:55am pantz: Couples skate, only!
	10:55am sphere: my young me would be astonished that the old me likes disco.
	10:56am Joe McG: @Guido: He sure knew how to get a good bass sound!
	10:57am Jeff: Why did the horrifying disco dancing lessons my parents sent me to as another failed attempt to socialize me only teach The Hustle? How often was a Hustlable song ever played out there in the world?
	10:58am Jeff: @sphere: Right? I was so sneery about the disco when I was a sneery young thing. It seemed trivial and tacky. Which it still is, but now I'm prepared to celebrate that.
	10:58am pantz: @Jeff I grew up near Cincy during the Big Red Machine years, so I learned the Charlie Hustle. Not quite as fun, but I never lost a bet.
	10:59am V Priceless: Coop!!
	10:59am melinda: I love Fly Robin Fly, but it always has a dark vibe to it because I think I heard it in the TV movie Diary of a Teenage Hitchhiker, which was a cautionary tale about the perils of hitchhiking. Does anyone remember that?
	10:59am Andrew Waterloo: there is a reason why they call a parents involvement in a child's social development "interference"
	10:59am βrian: @Jeff: Don't you miss the shimmery polyester shirts?
	10:59am Polyus: @Nate - yeah, I was just killing some time, so I only grabbed a few LPs. Definitely want to hit it again when I have more time. I actually ended up there because it was close to the Heidelberg Project, which I was checking out.
	10:59am Joe McG: @melinda: Wow, melinda, how interesting!
	11:02am Jeff: @βrian: I don't, because I know a number of people who have chosen treasured vintage plastic-fabric shirts in oh those colors as their preferred personal style.
	11:05am Jeff: And "Blood and Sand" is a cocktail which sounds gross (the name, the combination of ingredients, and how it looks) but is actually pretty tasty.
	11:08am melinda: I prefer the 70s sound too.
	11:11am Michele: Hey there
	11:13am SeanG: Joe, who was that singer that robert plant totally lifted from for "whole lotta love"? i remember you played it before
	11:15am Sem Chumbo: CrooooOOOOooooOOOOoooooOOOooooon.
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: Joe, it is the sound/ambience as well as the meaning that makes these songs so poignant. Clean and modern does not always cut it.
	11:17am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! @SeanG: I can't remember!
	11:18am βrian: Mr. Crosby passed in 1977. I didn't realize it was so long ago.
	11:19am Tim 07030: I believe this is the last song Sinatra ever recorded for Capitol.
	11:20am Joe McG: @Tim: Wow, I didn't know that. I may play Frank, not sure.
	11:21am annie: sure, play frankie
	11:22am Joe McG: OK, Annie, I will.
	11:24am annie: anyone remember back in the 70(?) a singing sensation of john mccormick? he had some weepy songs.
	11:24am Tim 07030: Yeah, his last sessions for Capitol overlapped with his first sessions for Reprise, he had to fulfill his Capitol contract, and I seem to recall reading in the Capitol box set that "I Got A Right..." was the last thing he recorded. He doesn't exactly give it his all.
	11:25am SeanG: it was Steve Marriott!
	11:25am fred: I love these 30's records. Gene Austin sounds much more recent that the previous songs
	11:26am ChrisB.: Buck up, Joe. Prosperity is just around the corner.
	11:27am Jeff: This is a great set.
	11:29am Joe McG: @ChrisB: I sure hope so!
	11:31am βrian: Favorite pickup line: "What is love but a prelude to sorrow?"
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: @SeanG Judy Collins?
	11:32am MD: I just Transferred the song....I Got a Right to Sing the Blues...FROM ONE OF MY DAD'S OLD 78'S To Digital disc...But it was the Billie Holiday version! Which is Amazing...I finally found an old Garrard Turntable that had 78 RPM on it...so I did about 2 days of transfers of all my Dad's (RIP) old 78's to DIgi...Got the 78 Stylus et.al....Been wanting to do that for YEARS..he Died in '02...It was worth the wait...Goodman.Sinatra.Hot Club of France,Coleman Hawkins...And Billie...ALWAYS BILLIE!!!!
	11:32am cee: this frank sinatra song just crushes me
	11:33am Joe McG: @Brian: A real picker-upper!
	11:33am Jeff: Nice. Last two words of Blue Prelude are the title of the next song by Francis A.
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: Cottage For Sale, In The Wee Small Hours and this one. Wonderful. Riddle and Jenkins.
	👻 11:34am tadpoles: MD - Love the Surface Noise on 78s
	11:35am Joe McG: @Jeff: "Blue Prelude" is kind of the earlier version of "Good-bye," both written by Gordon Jenkins. What a song, in any version.
	11:35am fred: I get a lot of grief from saying I like Frank Sinatra and Dolly Parton
	11:35am annie: ...sigh....
	11:36am Lewis: @fred - just put on another fmu t-shirt and know in your heart that you actually think about the music you listen to and like...
	11:36am Sem Chumbo: @fred: I always like to think that its none of my business what other people think of the music I like.
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: @fred it says less about them than you.
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: One of the few days I get to hear Avant Ghetto live and the man is off today. Bah.
	11:40am MD: My Dad, as a young Man, had seen Billie live enough that he got to know her and would say hello. He even would buy her a drink now and then. To transfer all his old 78's was at times quite moving...I MEAN THESE WERE MY POP'S RECORDS! WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS AND FEELS LIKE!!!!
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: @MD take this tissue my friend, no really.
	11:42am Mayuko: It's Monday morning but I already wanna stay in bed the whole week crying not seeing anybody! Thanks Joe! (translation: beautiful set.)
	11:43am fred: @Lewis: I have so many WFMU T-shirts that someone once sent me snail mail with WFMU instead of my name, and I did get it
	11:43am Joe McG: @MD: Wow, MD, amazing story. @Mayuko! This is maybe just the opposite of your happy summer show from Saturday. :)
	11:43am annie: best thing to hit the airwaves?? radio
	11:44am Jeff: @MD: True. And so amazing that he had a saying-hello-and-sometimes-drink-buying relationship with Billie Holiday! Apologies for the audio-nerdery, but please tell me that if you're taking the trouble to record all those records, you're recording in some lossless format (FLAC or WAV or AIFF or ALAC or the like)! The worst case would be MP3, which has terrible trouble with sharp impulses (like, you know, surface noise on records).
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: Great show, Joe. Chin up everyone and keep smiling.
	11:45am Joe McG: @Brian: Thanks, Brian. Sometimes the sad songs make us feel better!
	11:46am βrian: This is tickling my aura.
	11:47am Michael 98145: what SemChumbo said
	11:48am Brendan: This is a good mantra
	11:49am Michael 98145: there is no better attitude than gratitude
	11:49am Summer and Michael: Great show, Joe! As ever.
	11:50am Joe McG: @S&M: Thanks, guys! Glad you're tuned in!
	11:52am pantz: It's been an emotional roller coaster today. Thanks for the E-Ticket ride, Joe!
	11:53am Joe McG: @pantz: Ha ha ha! I like to run you guys through the wringer!
	11:54am βrian: I'm ashamed to admit my thoughts are turning to tacos.
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: Wondrous 3 hours, would not have wanted to spend them any other way. See you, and Clan McGasko, later on down the line,.
	11:55am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, Sem. And thanks everyone for listening and commenting today. Even though next Monday is a (U.S.) holiday, I will be here to keep you company if any of you are awake on your day off! Have a great last week of August!
	11:55am Brendan: I think its a melancholy time of year. Summer ending. This day sucks for me the last two years . Lost my ma 2 years ago this time and got wiped out on my bike by a car a year ago today. Made me wanna hibernate but said nahhh . So far so good today. Nice show Joe.
	11:56am V Priceless: thanx, Joe!
	11:56am annie: smiling in all y'alls direction .... thanks for the show today, joe.
	11:57am SeanG: keep on keeping on Brendan!
	11:58am Michael 98145: gracias, DJ Joe and tribe
	11:58am Philthy woman: that was the perfect mood song for me right now- Its a bummer day- so I enjoyed it- thanks
	11:59am SeanG: thanks Joe!
	12:00pm Brendan: @SeanG thats the way . What doesn't kill you will make you stronger ( or at least scar you for life :-).
	12:01pm SeanG: right on Brendan!
	5:21pm Mark in Toronto: Joe, it's pronounced Tony KOS-ZIN-ECK
	6:02pm Joe McG: Thanks, Mark. I had no bloody idea how to say his name.
	5:31pm Mark in Toronto: While he was born in England, he is/was Canadian and lived in Toronto. He had local airplay (probably a Can Con thing) in the '70s and had a hit with "All Things Come From God"

	9:16am Sem Chumbo: Howdy Doodey, Joe, and hello to the kilted and unkilted of Clan McGasko.
	9:17am annie: i saw the tail end of that 1-hour doc "Listen to Me, Marlon"; it looks like i'd want to see the whole thing. has anyone seen it yet?
	9:17am KP: Good Monday to you, Joe!
	9:18am Joe McG: Howdy, Guido, Sem, and KP!
	9:19am MD: Hello Hello Hellooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! FMU!!!!
	9:19am Guido from Cologne: Love the sounds!
	9:21am melinda: I love the Paris Tx soundtrack. The Bruce Langhorne was beautiful, too. I love soundtracks.
	9:21am Joe McG: Hello, MD!
	9:22am annie: one of my favorite movies, HDS can do no wrong
	👻 9:24am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. I was about to write are we going to hear some Dean Moriarty then realised wrong Dean, wrong Sherlock.
	👻 9:25am Brian in UK: My favourite Wenders is Kings of the Road. Great start to a film when he drives the car into the Rhine.
	9:26am Joe McG: Good afternoon to you, Brian!
	9:26am melinda: @annie: agree
	9:27am fred: Swagmas came two days ago for me, in a shoe box of all things. Talk about a shoestring operation
	9:27am melinda: Although every time I see the movie it seems much longer than i remembered
	9:27am mauri: good afternoon folks.
	9:28am Joe McG: Hey fred--At least we remembered to take the sneakers out of the box before sending it! @mauri: Good afternoon to you, too!
	👻 9:29am Brian in UK: Hello mauri, we are getting five seasons in one day here.
	9:34am annie: not that there's anything wrong with it, there's a melancholy to the show so far. bittersweet
	👻 9:35am Brian in UK: Joe, ever heard California 99 by Jimmie Haskell, strange old article, big foldout cover with a spoken story and kindof soundtrack.
	9:36am mauri: Brianinuk here it suddenly plummeted to 11C. It's raining all day too. these songs makes me think of driving up north in autumn cold. love this kind of romantism.
	9:37am Joe McG: @Brian: No, Brian, but your description makes me want to discover it!
	9:37am fred: @Joe: good thing you did, these would have been too small for me. And I only wear cowboy boots anyway
	👻 9:38am Brian in UK: mauri, know what you mean. Are you getting smells of Autumn yet, bit early maybe.
	9:39am sphere: hey there. was this guy in Chicago the band?
	9:39am Joe McG: @sphere: Yeah, that's the fella.
	9:40am melinda: I smell a bit of autumn melancholy, too, and I like it.
	9:41am sphere: I was a teenage Chicago fan, so this voice evokes a lot of memories.
	9:43am Guido from Cologne: Jimmi Haskell: is also famous as an arranger for classics like "bridge over Troubled water" and "ode to Billie Joe". And Rex's farewell-tune is Haskell's "Rockin' The Orbit" from 1958 LP "Count Down". I find certain arranger personalities interesting and they're much too often in the shadow of producer's personalities.
	9:44am mauri: no autumn tints nor smells yet.
	9:44am Nardo: In regards to Electra Glide in Blue: "The soundtrack album also included a four-page fold-out poster of Robert Blake standing beside his cycle on a bluff overlooking Monument Valley." Oooh boy!!!
	👻 9:46am Brian in UK: Robert Blake has one of those red/green air fresheners on his Harley. Bonkers.
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: @Guido bit like Bill Szymczyk, had to cut and paste that!!
	9:48am sphere: Chicago's Terry Kath was also a very good guitarist who had avant tendencies. See "Free Form Guitar," which takes up one side of their debut 2LP set. Sharrock and Hendrix would have been pleased.
	9:49am annie: i loved Ulee's Gold
	9:51am KP: You ruined it!
	9:52am βrian: "I fought the law, and I won?" ... Nah.
	9:52am KP: Annie, I was thinking all along, Ulee's Gold
	9:52am Joe McG: @KP: ha ha ha!
	👻 9:54am Brian in UK: Pure Pop for Aussies Everywhere.
	👻 9:55am tadpoles: Chook = chicken .... sounds from Down under nest ce pas?
	9:55am annie: if i've seen a movie before and don't remember it, i love watching it with new eyes and brain. i have The Hired Hand queued up.
	9:55am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Yes! Thanks for the chicken guidance!
	9:57am βrian: "Yace, that's right."
	9:57am pantz: Morning, folks. Thanks for reminding me of Paris, Texas, Joe. I really need to see that movie again. It was all about mood and you could really feel the lonesomeness of the two main characters which was also reflected in the wide angle shots of the dusty old town.
	10:01am βrian: @pantz: My GF showed me that film and told me nothing about it beforehand. (As it should be.) I was floored.
	10:01am Joe McG: @pantz: My pleasure! Yes, it's always worth rewatching.
	10:03am βrian: To this day, I drop the h when I say "hunter."
	10:04am pantz: It was a perfect role for Stanton. A brilliant and versatile actor, but his hang dog look was perfect for such a weary soul.
	10:06am annie: i watched a short bio-pic of mr stanton, it was quite enlightening. he's a humble fellow.
	👻 10:07am Brian in UK: So which walk do you prefer HDS in Paris or Vincent Gallo's mincing in Buffalo 66?
	10:09am annie: i have a hard time watching vincent gallo. something doesn't ring true.. i DO, howver, give his acting some views just to be sure i'm not too biased. ...mmm. not yet, bobbie
	👻 10:10am Ken From Hyde Park: I watched The Naked Gun: 33-1/3 over the weekend. I read that the original subtitle was to be "For the Record," but the producers figured too few people would get the joke so they gave it "The Final Insult" instead.
	10:10am Polyus: Belated thumbs up for Electra Glide. Me and Alan Ladd are not the same height.
	10:11am Brendan: Good morning. I like this.
	10:11am Todd-o-phonic: YOU SURVIVED THE ROCKINGHAMS!
	👻 10:12am Brian in UK: Joe, have you heard Tommy B's previous record Perfect Abandon. The opening track is so sad, you will not believe it.
	10:14am Roberto: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
	10:15am βrian: Tremolololololo.
	10:17am Roberto: NOoooooOOOooOOoooOOoOOOoooo
	10:17am Joe McG: TODD, somehow I did! @Polyus: Ha ha! I love the Alan Ladd line. @Brian: I have! Tom Brosseau is very underrated.
	10:17am Sem Chumbo: Now this is a fine thing, Joe. Bang, Bang. You got it!
	10:17am fred: Pan Ron! She was so great, what a loss
	10:18am Joe McG: Rich Hazelton did 3 hours of "Bang Bang" on Friday night. Check it out: wfmu.org...
	10:18am Roberto: www.freelargeimages.com...
	10:18am steve: yesss
	10:19am Sem Chumbo: @Roberto: 403 on that link, for me.
	10:19am Guido from Cologne: ... what are the rumors that Cher is cloese to death and penniless? Ugly press?
	10:20am Roberto: Sorry Sem. In a nutshell: NO
	10:20am Sem Chumbo: K :-D
	10:22am annie: fwiw a couple of yahoo searches this am produced a 403 as well. not normal...
	10:24am SeanG: Howdy Joe and everyone!
	10:27am Joe McG: Howdy, SeanG and Steve and Roberto!
	👻 10:27am Brian in UK: Buddah, now there was a funny old label, never sure which direction it was heading.
	10:29am Guido from Cologne: i have tzhis Stories album. my favorite is "hey France"
	10:31am Guido from Cologne: just see i have the second album.
	10:37am Tim 07030: Good morning, Joe! Here's a story (get it?): I played softball once with Ian Lloyd and he told me he knew he had arrived when, while he was listening, WABC did an 'Instaaant Replay!" of "Brother Louie".
	10:37am pantz: I feel out of breath just listening to Little Richard
	10:38am Joe McG: @Tim: Cool story, Tim, in many ways! @pantz: I think he got out of breath himself towards the end!
	10:38am SeanG: same here pantz! the true king of rocknroll
	10:40am Sem Chumbo: I wonder if any of the Big Hole Bronco Busters are still among the living?
	👻 10:40am Ken From Hyde Park: I hope to hear more Little Richard on his upcoming birthday (Monday, Dec. 5)!
	10:41am Joe McG: @Sem: It's nice to think there's at least one Big Hole Bronco Buster among us.
	10:42am βrian: Oh, quit your cryin', Slim!
	10:43am Sem Chumbo: Nice, nice, nice segue there, Joe.
	10:43am Jeff: Toilets of your head?
	10:43am steve: wait what
	10:43am Joe McG: @Sem: Hard to segue with that record. It just starts up!
	10:44am Joe McG: @Jeff and Steve: You guys have to look up those lyrics! "Flush the evil..."
	10:47am Polyus: Last week I was in Detroit and hit Peoples Records - so many boxes of 7", I got dizzy just looking at them. Anyone else been there?
	10:49am Joe McG: @Polyus: Never been to Detroit, but that kind of panic sounds like my kind.
	10:49am melinda: I always liked this Michael Jackson number even though I'd mostly lost interest in him at that point.
	10:52am Joe McG: Wow, if you ever need a starker representation of 80s production vs. 70s production....
	10:53am Nate in Detroit: @polyus - I just moved in a few blocks from Peoples Records. The collection there is almost overwhelming. I've left there empty handed more than once just because I can't decide what to pick up and what to pass.
	10:53am Sem Chumbo: Look at me, I can't disco worth a damn! Sorry, 70s flashback.
	10:53am melinda: @joe: true!
	10:54am Brendan: Everybody out on the disco dance floor
	10:54am Guido from Cologne: producer Michael Kunze earned fame as Schlager-Lyricist first. Unusual career.
	10:55am pantz: Couples skate, only!
	10:55am sphere: my young me would be astonished that the old me likes disco.
	10:56am Joe McG: @Guido: He sure knew how to get a good bass sound!
	10:57am Jeff: Why did the horrifying disco dancing lessons my parents sent me to as another failed attempt to socialize me only teach The Hustle? How often was a Hustlable song ever played out there in the world?
	10:58am Jeff: @sphere: Right? I was so sneery about the disco when I was a sneery young thing. It seemed trivial and tacky. Which it still is, but now I'm prepared to celebrate that.
	10:58am pantz: @Jeff I grew up near Cincy during the Big Red Machine years, so I learned the Charlie Hustle. Not quite as fun, but I never lost a bet.
	10:59am V Priceless: Coop!!
	10:59am melinda: I love Fly Robin Fly, but it always has a dark vibe to it because I think I heard it in the TV movie Diary of a Teenage Hitchhiker, which was a cautionary tale about the perils of hitchhiking. Does anyone remember that?
	10:59am Andrew Waterloo: there is a reason why they call a parents involvement in a child's social development "interference"
	10:59am βrian: @Jeff: Don't you miss the shimmery polyester shirts?
	10:59am Polyus: @Nate - yeah, I was just killing some time, so I only grabbed a few LPs. Definitely want to hit it again when I have more time. I actually ended up there because it was close to the Heidelberg Project, which I was checking out.
	10:59am Joe McG: @melinda: Wow, melinda, how interesting!
	11:02am Jeff: @βrian: I don't, because I know a number of people who have chosen treasured vintage plastic-fabric shirts in oh those colors as their preferred personal style.
	11:05am Jeff: And "Blood and Sand" is a cocktail which sounds gross (the name, the combination of ingredients, and how it looks) but is actually pretty tasty.
	11:08am melinda: I prefer the 70s sound too.
	11:11am Michele: Hey there
	11:13am SeanG: Joe, who was that singer that robert plant totally lifted from for "whole lotta love"? i remember you played it before
	11:15am Sem Chumbo: CrooooOOOOooooOOOOoooooOOOooooon.
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: Joe, it is the sound/ambience as well as the meaning that makes these songs so poignant. Clean and modern does not always cut it.
	11:17am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! @SeanG: I can't remember!
	11:18am βrian: Mr. Crosby passed in 1977. I didn't realize it was so long ago.
	11:19am Tim 07030: I believe this is the last song Sinatra ever recorded for Capitol.
	11:20am Joe McG: @Tim: Wow, I didn't know that. I may play Frank, not sure.
	11:21am annie: sure, play frankie
	11:22am Joe McG: OK, Annie, I will.
	11:24am annie: anyone remember back in the 70(?) a singing sensation of john mccormick? he had some weepy songs.
	11:24am Tim 07030: Yeah, his last sessions for Capitol overlapped with his first sessions for Reprise, he had to fulfill his Capitol contract, and I seem to recall reading in the Capitol box set that "I Got A Right..." was the last thing he recorded. He doesn't exactly give it his all.
	11:25am SeanG: it was Steve Marriott!
	11:25am fred: I love these 30's records. Gene Austin sounds much more recent that the previous songs
	11:26am ChrisB.: Buck up, Joe. Prosperity is just around the corner.
	11:27am Jeff: This is a great set.
	11:29am Joe McG: @ChrisB: I sure hope so!
	11:31am βrian: Favorite pickup line: "What is love but a prelude to sorrow?"
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: @SeanG Judy Collins?
	11:32am MD: I just Transferred the song....I Got a Right to Sing the Blues...FROM ONE OF MY DAD'S OLD 78'S To Digital disc...But it was the Billie Holiday version! Which is Amazing...I finally found an old Garrard Turntable that had 78 RPM on it...so I did about 2 days of transfers of all my Dad's (RIP) old 78's to DIgi...Got the 78 Stylus et.al....Been wanting to do that for YEARS..he Died in '02...It was worth the wait...Goodman.Sinatra.Hot Club of France,Coleman Hawkins...And Billie...ALWAYS BILLIE!!!!
	11:32am cee: this frank sinatra song just crushes me
	11:33am Joe McG: @Brian: A real picker-upper!
	11:33am Jeff: Nice. Last two words of Blue Prelude are the title of the next song by Francis A.
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: Cottage For Sale, In The Wee Small Hours and this one. Wonderful. Riddle and Jenkins.
	👻 11:34am tadpoles: MD - Love the Surface Noise on 78s
	11:35am Joe McG: @Jeff: "Blue Prelude" is kind of the earlier version of "Good-bye," both written by Gordon Jenkins. What a song, in any version.
	11:35am fred: I get a lot of grief from saying I like Frank Sinatra and Dolly Parton
	11:35am annie: ...sigh....
	11:36am Lewis: @fred - just put on another fmu t-shirt and know in your heart that you actually think about the music you listen to and like...
	11:36am Sem Chumbo: @fred: I always like to think that its none of my business what other people think of the music I like.
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: @fred it says less about them than you.
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: One of the few days I get to hear Avant Ghetto live and the man is off today. Bah.
	11:40am MD: My Dad, as a young Man, had seen Billie live enough that he got to know her and would say hello. He even would buy her a drink now and then. To transfer all his old 78's was at times quite moving...I MEAN THESE WERE MY POP'S RECORDS! WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS AND FEELS LIKE!!!!
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: @MD take this tissue my friend, no really.
	11:42am Mayuko: It's Monday morning but I already wanna stay in bed the whole week crying not seeing anybody! Thanks Joe! (translation: beautiful set.)
	11:43am fred: @Lewis: I have so many WFMU T-shirts that someone once sent me snail mail with WFMU instead of my name, and I did get it
	11:43am Joe McG: @MD: Wow, MD, amazing story. @Mayuko! This is maybe just the opposite of your happy summer show from Saturday. :)
	11:43am annie: best thing to hit the airwaves?? radio
	11:44am Jeff: @MD: True. And so amazing that he had a saying-hello-and-sometimes-drink-buying relationship with Billie Holiday! Apologies for the audio-nerdery, but please tell me that if you're taking the trouble to record all those records, you're recording in some lossless format (FLAC or WAV or AIFF or ALAC or the like)! The worst case would be MP3, which has terrible trouble with sharp impulses (like, you know, surface noise on records).
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: Great show, Joe. Chin up everyone and keep smiling.
	11:45am Joe McG: @Brian: Thanks, Brian. Sometimes the sad songs make us feel better!
	11:46am βrian: This is tickling my aura.
	11:47am Michael 98145: what SemChumbo said
	11:48am Brendan: This is a good mantra
	11:49am Michael 98145: there is no better attitude than gratitude
	11:49am Summer and Michael: Great show, Joe! As ever.
	11:50am Joe McG: @S&M: Thanks, guys! Glad you're tuned in!
	11:52am pantz: It's been an emotional roller coaster today. Thanks for the E-Ticket ride, Joe!
	11:53am Joe McG: @pantz: Ha ha ha! I like to run you guys through the wringer!
	11:54am βrian: I'm ashamed to admit my thoughts are turning to tacos.
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: Wondrous 3 hours, would not have wanted to spend them any other way. See you, and Clan McGasko, later on down the line,.
	11:55am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, Sem. And thanks everyone for listening and commenting today. Even though next Monday is a (U.S.) holiday, I will be here to keep you company if any of you are awake on your day off! Have a great last week of August!
	11:55am Brendan: I think its a melancholy time of year. Summer ending. This day sucks for me the last two years . Lost my ma 2 years ago this time and got wiped out on my bike by a car a year ago today. Made me wanna hibernate but said nahhh . So far so good today. Nice show Joe.
	11:56am V Priceless: thanx, Joe!
	11:56am annie: smiling in all y'alls direction .... thanks for the show today, joe.
	11:57am SeanG: keep on keeping on Brendan!
	11:58am Michael 98145: gracias, DJ Joe and tribe
	11:58am Philthy woman: that was the perfect mood song for me right now- Its a bummer day- so I enjoyed it- thanks
	11:59am SeanG: thanks Joe!
	12:00pm Brendan: @SeanG thats the way . What doesn't kill you will make you stronger ( or at least scar you for life :-).
	12:01pm SeanG: right on Brendan!
	5:21pm Mark in Toronto: Joe, it's pronounced Tony KOS-ZIN-ECK
	6:02pm Joe McG: Thanks, Mark. I had no bloody idea how to say his name.
	5:31pm Mark in Toronto: While he was born in England, he is/was Canadian and lived in Toronto. He had local airplay (probably a Can Con thing) in the '70s and had a hit with "All Things Come From God"
