	9:40am Sem Chumbo: An unlikely pop star, was Ms. Longet.
	👻 9:41am Brian in UK: I grew up in Harrow where Episode Six started but do not recall any local gigs. I was about twelve at the time.

	👻 9:45am doctorjazz: Nice set for a draggy Monday Morning, hi all!
	9:45am pantz: Love the set. Nick Cave was the best show I've seen in many years.
	9:47am Uncle Michael: I wonder if Nick Cave ever listened to a Leonard Cohen record.
	9:48am lloyd michigan: @Joe: Same here!
	9:49am melinda: Great set. Hate to leave during Leonard's speech, must transit to work though.
	9:50am Bronwyn Bishop: <3
	9:51am Joe McG: Thanks for dropping by, melinda! :) @UM: Nah!
	👻 9:52am doctorjazz: This is a great Cohen track, just love this song!

	9:55am Sem Chumbo: @MD: what a lovely gesture.
	9:56am MD: Yeah I don't know how I got thru it?
	9:57am kevlicki: I switch to 90.9 when I drive over bear mountain and down the palisades parkway.
	👻 9:58am Brian in UK: The music does not die with the musician's demise.
	9:59am Guido from Cologne: not really
	10:00am Guido from Cologne: Episode Six were the band of Roger Glover and Ian Gillian when Purple Mark 1 were already in work.
	10:04am Ike: So what happens 6 to 9 a.m. in a few days? Is it a surprise? Current shows staying there until Jan. 1?
	10:05am Joe McG: @Ike: You guessed it, Ike!
	👻 10:07am Brian in UK: Rita Wright CD is an eye opener.
	10:07am Joysun: We hear you crystal clear up here in Warwick, NY at 90.1. Thanks for the jams.
	10:08am Joe McG: Ah, thanks, Joysun and kevlicki! I was doubtful anyone up there was listening.
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: Joe. Talking of jams, ever played The KLF?
	10:09am annie: out of curiosity, is the fund-raiser ticker fo each DJ accurate? or is it a vestige yet to be removed?
	10:10am Joe McG: @Brian: I don't think so! @annie: Vestige! I think they're coming down this week sometime. We have to call the computer dudes.
	10:11am JakeGould: Hey!
	10:11am mary: great great first set, true. And this one is feeling good.
	10:12am Lewis: that Barry White track was excellent
	10:13am annie: oh crap... anyone want to dance?? this is sweet.
	10:17am Joysun: For whatever reason, the signal is better in the Warwick Valley than anywhere else I can tune in. WFMU love is strong up here.
	10:18am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang! Holy hell I am excited to get back to eating like a normal human person.
	10:19am βrian: Dank and overcast on the isthmus this morning. Moving slowly ..
	10:20am Joe McG: Hey, mary, thanks for saying hello. @Lewis: The whole album is great: Barry's anguished love's-going-bad LP.
	10:20am βrian: Nothing a little Frippery can't fix, though.
	👻 10:20am Hughie Considine: Ah, "North Star," a calm moment on Fripp's Exposure, which never settles down for long.
	10:20am Marc Francis: @Joe McG: We were driving thru Rockland County a few weeks back and were super excited to pick up WFMU!!
	👻 10:22am Brian in UK: Never quite got to grips with Sacred Songs despite loving Daryl Hall's voice.
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: Joe, now Laughing Boy from Abandonned Luncheonette is prime especially seen live around 1977.
	10:25am Joe McG: @marc F: Great to hear! @Brian: I like that song!
	👻 10:27am Brian in UK: Hall & Oats are guilty of some dodgy sleeves, witness the silver album inserts. Embarrassing.
	10:30am JakeGould: That was some great Fleetwood Mac right there.
	👻 10:31am Hughie Considine: I think they might have changed the emphasis on "Hold Me" away from "like a good man should" so it would be more universal? But yeah, that version is damned good!
	10:31am quinn: I grew up on the green shores of the Perkiomen Creek
	10:35am Joe McG: That's so cool, quinn. Same one, I guess?
	10:36am JakeGould: That intro drumming to "Topsy II" and the intro to The Fall's "Garden" share some DNA.
	10:36am Marc Francis: DAMN.
	10:36am annie: hot damn!
	10:37am Lewis: what annie and Marc said!
	10:37am Joe McG: Cozy really rattles the tubs on that one! :)
	10:39am annie: joe will you be playing anything bad soon, i have to run out and get the mail.... should probably wiat until after 11.
	10:39am melinda: Prunes singing about a banana, haha
	10:40am Joe McG: @annie: No, I never play anything bad. :) @melinda: E-lec-tri-cal banana!
	10:43am ronny g: what's up people! this set is AMAZING. gem after another. LOVE the hall & oates, fleetwood, and kraftwerk all together, seemed so seamless
	👻 10:43am Brian in UK: Donovan?
	10:43am ChrisB.: Is this the version on yellow vinyl in a translucent sleeve?
	10:44am Joe McG: Why thanks, ronny, for dropping by! @ChrisB: I don't have the yellow vinyl version, but the sleeve is clear, yeah!
	👻 10:44am tadpoles: The interactive Kraftwerk website is a lot of fun! Cheers
	10:44am annie: so, i'm stuck here, then, at the desk.. first world problems, joe.. ahh, me!
	10:45am melinda: Love the electro-sounds. I don't know a lot of kraftwerk, need to listen to more.
	10:46am Uncle Michael: Love this Magna Carta.
	10:47am βrian: First, word problems. What noun is made plural by the addition of an s — not at the end of the word?
	10:47am ronny g: no problem Mister! i'm a long time first time lol and yeah melinda kraftwerk is CRIMINALLY underrated, I didn't know this song at first and I thought it was some techno music lol, they're very before their time
	10:48am βrian: Were these guys from Runnymede?
	10:49am Jim Price: Wonder if the Kings of Convenience were influenced by Magna Carta?
	10:49am Joe McG: @Brian: I don't know! Let me know if you find out.
	10:49am dale: thumbs up on the magna carta - seasons is one of my favorite rekkids.
	10:50am Joe McG: @Jim: When they got tired of listening to Simon and Garfunkel, they'd have to put "Seasons" on!
	10:50am melinda: @ronny: I think of kraftwerk as being very highly regarded, in spite of my relative ignorance. But who knows.
	10:50am annie: melinda: kraftwerk.com
	10:50am melinda: Nice cover
	👻 10:50am Brian in UK: Going to be freezing over here tonight. Time for hot chocolate, the drink that is.
	10:51am John W: This Single File segment is one of the many reasons why I love this program. Thanks Joe!
	10:51am Joe McG: You bet, John!
	10:52am pantz: Did Conway actually record this? Doesn't sound like him.
	10:52am annie: speaking of hot drinks, i oredered a hot toddy at the pub yesterday... it just didn't taste right.. i finally noticed some red flakey things on the rim of the cup. she had added cayenne pepper!!! blech..
	10:53am ?: RE: Rockland County: Always happy to hear WFMU continuously as I drive up the Palisades to the Catskills. Great when I'm buying my cider donuts at Conklins.
	10:53am SheWolf: Wow his American accent when speaking Russian is worse than mine.
	10:53am Joe McG: @pantz: Oh, it's him!
	10:54am JakeGould: Who is this drunk Rushkie?
	10:54am Joe McG: @SheWolf: Ha ha ha!
	10:54am βrian: Hot chocolate with a little Armagnac. Mmmm.
	👻 10:54am Brian in UK: On red vinyl?
	10:55am βrian: There you go, Annie!
	10:55am pantz: Oh yeah! This was one of my first rock 45's. Played the hell out of it as a kid.
	10:55am Joe McG: @Brian: I wish!
	10:55am JakeGould: OMFG, Joe is playing Foreigner. What's next?
	10:56am lloyd michigan: This song seems oddly out of place.
	10:56am SueAdynamo: sometimes a random song hits you and you are 12 again. weird.
	10:56am Joe McG: @JakeG: I'm starting to think that Foreigner is one of the great rock singles bands.
	10:57am Sem Chumbo: The Twitty record comes in a series of nesting Dolly Parton wig boxes.
	10:57am lloyd michigan: Say it ain't so, Joe.
	10:58am dale: i'm transported back to senior year of high school riding in my friend's ford gran torino with realistic cassette player whenever i hear 'wheel in the sky'
	10:58am βrian: A little Al to soothe the ears.
	10:58am Joe McG: @Sem: With decorative hammer and sickle. @lloyd: Well, I also like Bad Company, so what do I know! :)
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: Joe, funny I was singing(?) Never Get to Heaven This Way by Mr Green today. Belle is a beautiful album.
	10:59am annie: i think it was the al green concert that cab calloway made an appearance, it's been so long. either that or "your arms too short to box with god"
	11:01am lloyd michigan: @Joe LOL
	👻 11:02am doctorjazz: Aretha! Love IT!
	11:03am Jeff Golick: I'm just in time.
	11:03am JakeGould: If I hear Foreigner I wonder what diner I'm going to be eating fries and a shake in by the end of the night.
	11:04am Mike Sin: Been enjoying the show today, Joe!
	11:05am mary: Joe in the brilliant zone today
	11:07am Passaic River Blues: @Mary: Agreed. Definitely in the zone.
	11:08am βrian: It was about Jesus. (But he got better.)
	👻 11:09am doctorjazz: I was at NJ PAC for a different show recently while Aretha was in the main space. The waiting area/lounge was broadcasting the Aretha show. Had been sad I missed the show before I saw the feed of her current live performance, then I was actually glad I did, not the same, was a bit sad (But, you're right, she doesn't have anything left to prove).
	11:11am Uncle Michael: From Electric Prunes...it's a short leap to the Intergalactic Laxative.
	👻 11:12am tadpoles: Ouch Joe! An Electric Kiwi would have been from New Zealand! Split Enz are Electric Kiwis!
	11:12am pantz: The recipe for Bananadean or banana peels for smoking is in the Anarchist's Cookbook. Sad to say, we tried it in college when the weed source dried up.
	11:13am Brendan: There is a donut chain called The Fractured Prune . Begs the question, what the hell?
	11:13am melinda: When I was young I learned of the Electric Prunes from a list of '10 worst psychedelic band names' or something like that, but never heard them until I started listening to this station. Same with Lothar and the Hand People and some others. Thanks, WFMU!
	11:14am JakeGould: Psychedelic Muffins
	11:14am annie: there's an eatery in upstate NY called Undercover Eggplant
	11:14am Uncle Michael: Joe Byrd and The Field Hippies
	11:14am βrian: And now Pauline Oliveros!
	11:15am Marcel M: First you chop the vowel off the end of his name, then you imply he has henchmen like a mob boss? Ey! Watch the stereotypes! Faggetaboutit! ;-)
	11:15am Brendan: .3 is a good number song (Porcupine Tree)
	11:16am Bronwyn Bishop: love this song
	11:18am BriJet: Joeyyyyy
	11:19am Dave in Vermont: @βrian, wishful thinking.
	11:20am Joe McG: Hey, BriJet! ;)
	11:20am Joe McG: @Marcel: Ha ha ha! I need sensitivity training.
	11:21am adrian in mpls: oooo - love this Mayo album!
	11:22am adrian in mpls: also - first Hands, and now Legs - what body part song is next?
	👻 11:23am Brian in UK: Heads, Hands & Feet were an OK band.
	11:23am Joe McG: @adrian: Ha! Not planned, but maybe I should do "Two Left Feet" next.
	11:30am pantz: Something happened at Ohio State campus. Sounds like maybe a terrorist attack.
	11:31am Michael 98145: ^ yes. again. at least 8 people have been taken to hospital.
	11:35am Silverspectre: Hi JOE McG you always play sets like the current that hit the spot--it's quite uncanny so I thought I'd check in and say thanks
	11:36am Joe McG: Thanks for saying hello, Silverspectre!
	11:37am Silverspectre: http://www.dispatch.com/ That's the paper in Columbus Ohio
	11:38am Dean: Does anybody know whether the Dust on the Nettles compilation saw a 4CD version at some point? That is, the readily available 3CD version plus one disk?
	11:41am melinda: @Dean: I assumed it was always a 3 cd set. That's what I have, and I got it about a year ago.
	11:43am Dean: Thanks, @melinda. I swear I saw a reference to a special fourth disk offering, but I can't find it...
	11:50am Michael 98145: nice BMR cover
	11:52am Sem Chumbo: Many thanks, Mr. McG, been swell almost beyond enduring. See you and the clan next time.
	👻 11:52am doctorjazz: Richard and Linda, yay! Great track! Great show!
	11:53am βrian: Ah, thanks for the Thompson's, Joe.
	11:53am βrian: [Ooh. Extraneous apostrophe!]
	11:54am BLCKDGRD: One of my best nights - R & L screaming at each other between songs, L slapping R, killing songs, just killing them, last tour at Bayou on K in DC.....
	11:56am coelacanth: (i just noticed how much Linda Thompson's voice sounds like Melanie Safka's.) ...Thanks Joe. Great program.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, all! Tune in next week for author David Klein and number songs!
	12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
	2:30pm Joe McG: Interesting story about the Conway Twitty that I should have talked about on the air (from Wikipedia): On July 17, 1975, "Hello Darlin'" was played and broadcast to a worldwide audience as part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. Actually, it was a Russian language version of the song. Called "Privet Radost," the song — commissioned by the Apollo crew — was played by the American astronauts to Russian cosmonauts (of the Soyuz crew) as "a gesture of goodwill." Twitty worked with a language professor from the University of Oklahoma to record the phonetic Russian version of the song.

	9:29am Sem Chumbo: Ah, BiUK. Yes, a hoary old jape. Good Day to you.
	9:31am Hugh: Not stoned enough yet. Pharoah Overlord said so.

	9:35am Planet Tyler: O man, I love Sand to an embarrassing degree

	9:40am Sem Chumbo: An unlikely pop star, was Ms. Longet.
	👻 9:41am Brian in UK: I grew up in Harrow where Episode Six started but do not recall any local gigs. I was about twelve at the time.

	👻 9:45am doctorjazz: Nice set for a draggy Monday Morning, hi all!
	9:45am pantz: Love the set. Nick Cave was the best show I've seen in many years.
	9:47am Uncle Michael: I wonder if Nick Cave ever listened to a Leonard Cohen record.
	9:48am lloyd michigan: @Joe: Same here!
	9:49am melinda: Great set. Hate to leave during Leonard's speech, must transit to work though.
	9:50am Bronwyn Bishop: <3
	9:51am Joe McG: Thanks for dropping by, melinda! :) @UM: Nah!
	👻 9:52am doctorjazz: This is a great Cohen track, just love this song!
	9:53am MD: I played this song at my Mom's wake...
	9:55am Sem Chumbo: @MD: what a lovely gesture.
	9:56am MD: Yeah I don't know how I got thru it?
	9:57am kevlicki: I switch to 90.9 when I drive over bear mountain and down the palisades parkway.
	👻 9:58am Brian in UK: The music does not die with the musician's demise.
	9:59am Guido from Cologne: not really
	10:00am Guido from Cologne: Episode Six were the band of Roger Glover and Ian Gillian when Purple Mark 1 were already in work.
	10:04am Ike: So what happens 6 to 9 a.m. in a few days? Is it a surprise? Current shows staying there until Jan. 1?
	10:05am Joe McG: @Ike: You guessed it, Ike!
	👻 10:07am Brian in UK: Rita Wright CD is an eye opener.
	10:07am Joysun: We hear you crystal clear up here in Warwick, NY at 90.1. Thanks for the jams.
	10:08am Joe McG: Ah, thanks, Joysun and kevlicki! I was doubtful anyone up there was listening.
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: Joe. Talking of jams, ever played The KLF?
	10:09am annie: out of curiosity, is the fund-raiser ticker fo each DJ accurate? or is it a vestige yet to be removed?
	10:10am Joe McG: @Brian: I don't think so! @annie: Vestige! I think they're coming down this week sometime. We have to call the computer dudes.
	10:11am JakeGould: Hey!
	10:11am mary: great great first set, true. And this one is feeling good.
	10:12am Lewis: that Barry White track was excellent
	10:13am annie: oh crap... anyone want to dance?? this is sweet.
	10:17am Joysun: For whatever reason, the signal is better in the Warwick Valley than anywhere else I can tune in. WFMU love is strong up here.
	10:18am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang! Holy hell I am excited to get back to eating like a normal human person.
	10:19am βrian: Dank and overcast on the isthmus this morning. Moving slowly ..
	10:20am Joe McG: Hey, mary, thanks for saying hello. @Lewis: The whole album is great: Barry's anguished love's-going-bad LP.
	10:20am βrian: Nothing a little Frippery can't fix, though.
	👻 10:20am Hughie Considine: Ah, "North Star," a calm moment on Fripp's Exposure, which never settles down for long.
	10:20am Marc Francis: @Joe McG: We were driving thru Rockland County a few weeks back and were super excited to pick up WFMU!!
	👻 10:22am Brian in UK: Never quite got to grips with Sacred Songs despite loving Daryl Hall's voice.
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: Joe, now Laughing Boy from Abandonned Luncheonette is prime especially seen live around 1977.
	10:25am Joe McG: @marc F: Great to hear! @Brian: I like that song!
	👻 10:27am Brian in UK: Hall & Oats are guilty of some dodgy sleeves, witness the silver album inserts. Embarrassing.
	10:30am JakeGould: That was some great Fleetwood Mac right there.
	👻 10:31am Hughie Considine: I think they might have changed the emphasis on "Hold Me" away from "like a good man should" so it would be more universal? But yeah, that version is damned good!
	10:31am quinn: I grew up on the green shores of the Perkiomen Creek
	10:35am Joe McG: That's so cool, quinn. Same one, I guess?
	10:36am JakeGould: That intro drumming to "Topsy II" and the intro to The Fall's "Garden" share some DNA.
	10:36am Marc Francis: DAMN.
	10:36am annie: hot damn!
	10:37am Lewis: what annie and Marc said!
	10:37am Joe McG: Cozy really rattles the tubs on that one! :)
	10:39am annie: joe will you be playing anything bad soon, i have to run out and get the mail.... should probably wiat until after 11.

	10:43am ronny g: what's up people! this set is AMAZING. gem after another. LOVE the hall & oates, fleetwood, and kraftwerk all together, seemed so seamless
	👻 10:43am Brian in UK: Donovan?
	10:43am ChrisB.: Is this the version on yellow vinyl in a translucent sleeve?
	10:44am Joe McG: Why thanks, ronny, for dropping by! @ChrisB: I don't have the yellow vinyl version, but the sleeve is clear, yeah!
	👻 10:44am tadpoles: The interactive Kraftwerk website is a lot of fun! Cheers
	10:44am annie: so, i'm stuck here, then, at the desk.. first world problems, joe.. ahh, me!
	10:45am melinda: Love the electro-sounds. I don't know a lot of kraftwerk, need to listen to more.
	10:46am Uncle Michael: Love this Magna Carta.
	10:47am βrian: First, word problems. What noun is made plural by the addition of an s — not at the end of the word?
	10:47am ronny g: no problem Mister! i'm a long time first time lol and yeah melinda kraftwerk is CRIMINALLY underrated, I didn't know this song at first and I thought it was some techno music lol, they're very before their time
	10:48am βrian: Were these guys from Runnymede?
	10:49am Jim Price: Wonder if the Kings of Convenience were influenced by Magna Carta?
	10:49am Joe McG: @Brian: I don't know! Let me know if you find out.
	10:49am dale: thumbs up on the magna carta - seasons is one of my favorite rekkids.
	10:50am Joe McG: @Jim: When they got tired of listening to Simon and Garfunkel, they'd have to put "Seasons" on!
	10:50am melinda: @ronny: I think of kraftwerk as being very highly regarded, in spite of my relative ignorance. But who knows.
	10:50am annie: melinda: kraftwerk.com
	10:50am melinda: Nice cover
	👻 10:50am Brian in UK: Going to be freezing over here tonight. Time for hot chocolate, the drink that is.
	10:51am John W: This Single File segment is one of the many reasons why I love this program. Thanks Joe!
	10:51am Joe McG: You bet, John!
	10:52am pantz: Did Conway actually record this? Doesn't sound like him.
	10:52am annie: speaking of hot drinks, i oredered a hot toddy at the pub yesterday... it just didn't taste right.. i finally noticed some red flakey things on the rim of the cup. she had added cayenne pepper!!! blech..
	10:53am ?: RE: Rockland County: Always happy to hear WFMU continuously as I drive up the Palisades to the Catskills. Great when I'm buying my cider donuts at Conklins.
	10:53am SheWolf: Wow his American accent when speaking Russian is worse than mine.
	10:53am Joe McG: @pantz: Oh, it's him!
	10:54am JakeGould: Who is this drunk Rushkie?
	10:54am Joe McG: @SheWolf: Ha ha ha!
	10:54am βrian: Hot chocolate with a little Armagnac. Mmmm.
	👻 10:54am Brian in UK: On red vinyl?
	10:55am βrian: There you go, Annie!
	10:55am pantz: Oh yeah! This was one of my first rock 45's. Played the hell out of it as a kid.
	10:55am Joe McG: @Brian: I wish!
	10:55am JakeGould: OMFG, Joe is playing Foreigner. What's next?
	10:56am lloyd michigan: This song seems oddly out of place.
	10:56am SueAdynamo: sometimes a random song hits you and you are 12 again. weird.
	10:56am Joe McG: @JakeG: I'm starting to think that Foreigner is one of the great rock singles bands.
	10:57am Sem Chumbo: The Twitty record comes in a series of nesting Dolly Parton wig boxes.
	10:57am lloyd michigan: Say it ain't so, Joe.
	10:58am dale: i'm transported back to senior year of high school riding in my friend's ford gran torino with realistic cassette player whenever i hear 'wheel in the sky'
	10:58am βrian: A little Al to soothe the ears.
	10:58am Joe McG: @Sem: With decorative hammer and sickle. @lloyd: Well, I also like Bad Company, so what do I know! :)
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: Joe, funny I was singing(?) Never Get to Heaven This Way by Mr Green today. Belle is a beautiful album.
	10:59am annie: i think it was the al green concert that cab calloway made an appearance, it's been so long. either that or "your arms too short to box with god"
	11:01am lloyd michigan: @Joe LOL
	👻 11:02am doctorjazz: Aretha! Love IT!
	11:03am Jeff Golick: I'm just in time.
	11:03am JakeGould: If I hear Foreigner I wonder what diner I'm going to be eating fries and a shake in by the end of the night.
	11:04am Mike Sin: Been enjoying the show today, Joe!
	11:05am mary: Joe in the brilliant zone today
	11:07am Passaic River Blues: @Mary: Agreed. Definitely in the zone.
	11:08am βrian: It was about Jesus. (But he got better.)
	👻 11:09am doctorjazz: I was at NJ PAC for a different show recently while Aretha was in the main space. The waiting area/lounge was broadcasting the Aretha show. Had been sad I missed the show before I saw the feed of her current live performance, then I was actually glad I did, not the same, was a bit sad (But, you're right, she doesn't have anything left to prove).
	11:11am Uncle Michael: From Electric Prunes...it's a short leap to the Intergalactic Laxative.
	👻 11:12am tadpoles: Ouch Joe! An Electric Kiwi would have been from New Zealand! Split Enz are Electric Kiwis!
	11:12am pantz: The recipe for Bananadean or banana peels for smoking is in the Anarchist's Cookbook. Sad to say, we tried it in college when the weed source dried up.
	11:13am Brendan: There is a donut chain called The Fractured Prune . Begs the question, what the hell?
	11:13am melinda: When I was young I learned of the Electric Prunes from a list of '10 worst psychedelic band names' or something like that, but never heard them until I started listening to this station. Same with Lothar and the Hand People and some others. Thanks, WFMU!
	11:14am JakeGould: Psychedelic Muffins
	11:14am annie: there's an eatery in upstate NY called Undercover Eggplant
	11:14am Uncle Michael: Joe Byrd and The Field Hippies
	11:14am βrian: And now Pauline Oliveros!
	11:15am Marcel M: First you chop the vowel off the end of his name, then you imply he has henchmen like a mob boss? Ey! Watch the stereotypes! Faggetaboutit! ;-)
	11:15am Brendan: .3 is a good number song (Porcupine Tree)
	11:16am Bronwyn Bishop: love this song
	11:18am BriJet: Joeyyyyy
	11:19am Dave in Vermont: @βrian, wishful thinking.
	11:20am Joe McG: Hey, BriJet! ;)
	11:20am Joe McG: @Marcel: Ha ha ha! I need sensitivity training.
	11:21am adrian in mpls: oooo - love this Mayo album!
	11:22am adrian in mpls: also - first Hands, and now Legs - what body part song is next?
	👻 11:23am Brian in UK: Heads, Hands & Feet were an OK band.
	11:23am Joe McG: @adrian: Ha! Not planned, but maybe I should do "Two Left Feet" next.
	11:30am pantz: Something happened at Ohio State campus. Sounds like maybe a terrorist attack.
	11:31am Michael 98145: ^ yes. again. at least 8 people have been taken to hospital.
	11:35am Silverspectre: Hi JOE McG you always play sets like the current that hit the spot--it's quite uncanny so I thought I'd check in and say thanks
	11:36am Joe McG: Thanks for saying hello, Silverspectre!
	11:37am Silverspectre: http://www.dispatch.com/ That's the paper in Columbus Ohio
	11:38am Dean: Does anybody know whether the Dust on the Nettles compilation saw a 4CD version at some point? That is, the readily available 3CD version plus one disk?
	11:41am melinda: @Dean: I assumed it was always a 3 cd set. That's what I have, and I got it about a year ago.
	11:43am Dean: Thanks, @melinda. I swear I saw a reference to a special fourth disk offering, but I can't find it...
	11:50am Michael 98145: nice BMR cover
	11:52am Sem Chumbo: Many thanks, Mr. McG, been swell almost beyond enduring. See you and the clan next time.
	👻 11:52am doctorjazz: Richard and Linda, yay! Great track! Great show!
	11:53am βrian: Ah, thanks for the Thompson's, Joe.
	11:53am βrian: [Ooh. Extraneous apostrophe!]
	11:54am BLCKDGRD: One of my best nights - R & L screaming at each other between songs, L slapping R, killing songs, just killing them, last tour at Bayou on K in DC.....
	11:56am coelacanth: (i just noticed how much Linda Thompson's voice sounds like Melanie Safka's.) ...Thanks Joe. Great program.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, all! Tune in next week for author David Klein and number songs!
	12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
	2:30pm Joe McG: Interesting story about the Conway Twitty that I should have talked about on the air (from Wikipedia): On July 17, 1975, "Hello Darlin'" was played and broadcast to a worldwide audience as part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. Actually, it was a Russian language version of the song. Called "Privet Radost," the song — commissioned by the Apollo crew — was played by the American astronauts to Russian cosmonauts (of the Soyuz crew) as "a gesture of goodwill." Twitty worked with a language professor from the University of Oklahoma to record the phonetic Russian version of the song.
