Listener comments!

12:03pm V Priceless:

Heya, JB!

12:04pm Bluesman:

Top o' the afternoon, Joe!

12:10pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Now I know where I'm going for lunch!!! Nothing's better than this song!!

12:12pm Rich in Washington:

Isn't the VP Renaissance album their 'New Wave' record?

12:13pm Joe B:

Greetings all! thanks for tuning in!

12:13pm Joe B:

Hey VP and Blues!

ha Cheryl, sorry for planting the seed!

12:14pm Joe B:

Hi Rich, it is indeed. Check out Food Fight, should be on the youtubes

12:16pm RussB:

Yes!

12:16pm Rich in Washington:

That song's nuts. I need to buy that album.

12:17pm Joe B:

hey Russ!

12:17pm Uncle Michael:

hallo

12:17pm Nate K.:

Interesting, that track sounded different from other tracks by the Jacuzzi Boys I've heard.

12:17pm chris:

JoeB, that Jacuzzi Boys track rocks!

12:18pm Amy:

I love obsolete songs about telephones!

12:18pm RussB:

What up Joe, Joe Jr!

12:25pm Rich in Washington:

something I relatively recently learned about my wife: Beatles covers drive her crazy. In fact, most cover versions of previously popular songs really bother her.
I love them. The more different from the original the more I like them.

12:26pm Rich in Washington:

learned this trying to make a huge shared playlist of music to stream through the household.

12:27pm PKNY:

@Joe - it's not on that Let It be comp, but Junior Parker also does a great version of "Taxman".

12:32pm misterpickles69:

What does Black America have against Ringo?

12:42pm Stevel:

Blind Shake is one of the best bands I've seen live, maybe ever.

12:43pm Joe B:

agreed!

12:50pm Joe B:

Good question mr pickles. I guess no one wanted to cover Dont pass me By

12:50pm Joe B:

PKNY, thanks for the heads up! i will look for that!

12:51pm Joe B:

I'm with you Rich.

12:52pm Scraps deSelby:

h'lo.

i might not be able to live with a person who hates covers. i so love them, and my distress would be evident.

12:53pm Joe B:

Great point nate, not typical for them. I agree Chris!

12:53pm Joe B:

Hi Amy and Uncle Michael!

12:54pm Joe B:

Same here Scraps

12:58pm Scraps:

In the pre-rock era, it was common to have several takes on the same song competing. Of course, in the pre-rock era, the writers and the performers were mostly different.

12:58pm Bluesman:

The Radio Birdman documentary people promise no Bono or Grohl commentary! Hallelujah!

1:00pm misterpickles69:

Covers are healthy for music.

1:00pm Scraps:

yes!

1:03pm Scraps:

"Baby Don't Scold Me" is an awesome title

1:03pm doctorjazz:

Great track, this Springfield, don't recall it...

1:04pm Scraps:

ha a beatles lick

1:04pm misterpickles69:

"When I get to the bottom..." oh wait

1:05pm Joe B:

yeah copping day tripper was all the rage in 1966!

1:05pm Joe B:

great news Bluesman!

1:06pm Figures of Light:

It's so nice to hear Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing!

1:06pm Amy:

OK, now I feel even older than usual. But it's worth it for a Buffalo Springfield set.

1:06pm doctorjazz:

Now, "...Clancy", that I know.

1:06pm Joe B:

Scraps, yeah multiple labels would rush out a version of a song that was catching on

1:06pm Scraps:

This is my fav buffalo springfield song... thank you!

1:07pm Amy:

Might be mine too. So good!

1:08pm Bill in W.O.:

Loved Richie Furay singing. The excesses of 70's "country-rock" shouldn't obscure RF's talents.

1:09pm Scraps:

i like 70s excesses. ;-)

1:13pm doctorjazz:

And a great cover of Burned, great set!

1:13pm mary:

Every week, I'm so happy to remember when it's monday and your show is on.

1:15pm geezerette:

Hallo!
Love "Sit Down..." , lopsidediness.

1:16pm Joe McG:

Love the "Rainy Day" LP, thanks, Joe. Loving the set of Buffalos.

1:16pm Amy:

Oh, the Rainy Day cover! I looooooove this.

1:16pm Scraps:

okay, maybe this is my fav buffalo springfield song.

tied.

1:17pm geezerette:

Nice mood! Wish it would rain & make things perfect.

1:17pm Scraps:

it's snowing in Seattle.

1:18pm geezerette:

Scraps,how great! First of season?

1:19pm 666:

I'm an asshole

1:20pm Scraps:

yup.

i'm not happy, myself, because if it sticks, i can't go out. (my right-side paralysis.)

1:20pm 666:

WFMU censors assholes like me

1:21pm 666:

I'm a disgusting macho pig.

1:22pm KP:

Miriam too! Incredible set

1:22pm geezerette:

I'm sorry Scraps. Do you still have PT?

1:22pm Bill in W.O.:

Was that a "Mr. Soul" riff at the beginning of "Leave?"

1:26pm Scraps:

it's all right, geezerette. i forget what PT is, but eight years ago i had a stroke, and some of the effects look like they're permanent. i'm mostly used to it, but snow is an irritant. ;-)

1:26pm geezerette:

Was never a Buffalo Springfield fan, gotta go back & listen. Missed out!

Lou Rawls! Wow! Show-bizzy but great!

1:26pm Scraps:

oh, lou rawls!

1:30pm Bill in W.O.:

Way cool set, Joe

1:32pm Matt F:

Staple Singers also do a really good version of For What It's Worth, uh, FWIW.

1:36pm Scraps:

The first time I heard There Goes My Baby was Yo La Tengo. Then I went back....

👻

1:38pm David Shortell:

In case it hasn't been mentioned, the Blind Shakes are playing Sunday at the Saint (601 Main St, Asbury Park, NJ).

1:39pm chris_in_space:

Joe, does Stills ever get any worse than in the opener for his 1978 album Thoroughfare Gap? I'm talking about his foray into disco, "You Can't Dance Alone".

1:39pm Michael 98145:

Hope has such an unmistakable voice ..

1:40pm melinda:

@scraps: me too

1:40pm Carmichael:

Heya Joe and listeners. Great covers, keep 'em comin'!

1:41pm geezerette:

alligator lizards...

1:41pm Joe B:

Chris that's a bad one though the Right By You Lp with Jimmy page from 1983 might be even worse! (yet i own both!)

1:42pm Joe B:

hey Carmichael! Hi melinda!

1:43pm Joe B:

agreed Michael

1:43pm melinda:

Hi joe!

1:43pm Joe B:

thanks David. and of course Monty Hall friday! peopel should go to both!

1:44pm Joe B:

yes Matt agreed the staples version is cool

1:44pm Joe B:

Hi Geezerette

thanks Bill! thanks Mary! I'm glad I remember too!

1:45pm Joe B:

hey KP!

1:45pm Joe B:

thanks Joe! hi and thanks Amy!

1:47pm Joe B:

Thanks doctorjazz!

hey FoL!

1:47pm doctorjazz:

Love how the Live Sweet Jane starts in "the middle"

1:47pm Joe B:

so great

👻

1:48pm Jeff from Rahway:

Joe, I was on the road earlier so I couldn't post here but thanks for playing that version of "Flying on the Ground is Wrong." It's NY's most beautiful tune.

1:48pm geezerette:

so glad there was VU.

1:48pm Michael 98145:

so glad these VU tapes were saved

1:49pm Joe B:

thanks Jeff

1:50pm melinda:

I liked that version

1:50pm Whosondephone:

You're winning the hearts of the people in the shop.

1:51pm Michael 98145:

making the internet great again

1:53pm geezerette:

Lou Reed so lyrical. Punk troubadour.

Ultimate Painting is my new favorite group.

1:55pm melinda:

Nice segue

1:56pm geezerette:

paisley sound waves

hey melinda & Michael. :)

1:56pm Amy:

I adore Ultimate Painting. Thanks, Joie.

1:57pm Planet Tyler:

I think Ultimate Painting likes Galaxie 500 a bit

1:57pm geezerette:

loving this set, it's canceling out my caffeine.

👻

1:57pm David Shortell:

All this VU talk is reminding me of a track I once heard "The Hound" play on his WFMU program years ago. It was allegedly last-legs Yardbirds performing "Waiting For the Man" live somewhere. Horrible sound quality, and I wasn't convinced of its authenticity. I haven't heard it since.

1:57pm melinda:

Hi geeze

1:58pm Dennis Diken:

digging the heck out of the show Joe!

1:58pm Planet Tyler:

COS IT IS's LUNA lol

2:00pm melinda:

I wish I could attend the VU tribute w/YLT and D and B.

2:00pm Amy:

Er, I meant to thank Joe, not Joie. I don't know who Joie is. :-/

2:02pm melinda:

But this set is the next best thing, keep it comin'!

2:02pm chris_in_space:

Maybe one day you can do a set of terrible Stephen Stills tracks. Would be amazing.

2:04pm Joe B:

chris it might start with my angel from the CSNY 1974 live album

2:04pm Joe B:

thanks DD! hope all is well!

2:05pm listener monica:

nice dreamy set, joe!

2:06pm Scraps:

I really like Moby Octopad

2:06pm Scraps:

like the bass

2:07pm geezerette:

yep. lovely set.

2:13pm Joe B:

thanks everybody!

2:15pm Polyus:

New Blind Shake drummer is damn good, very different style though. Will be interesting to hear.

2:16pm Joe B:

yeah looking forward to hearing it. will miss dave though

2:18pm JP from KC:

Hey everyone! Great set! I can't wait to catch up in the archives. I know there are a few former radio people who tune in. Does anybody know anybody over at WNYC?

2:19pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

re: Jason Ringenberg's "Tuskegee Pride": and you don't like the Band . . .

2:20pm Joe B:

who said i don't like the band?

2:24pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Just funnin' based upon that long thread elsewhere.

2:24pm paul b:

I really liked that Tuskegee song, then I looked at the play list and saw it was by that Jason and the Nashville Scorchers guy. Always like them too

2:26pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

I'm with you Paul B.--always good to hear Ringenberg/Scorchers.

2:26pm Joe B:

ah! gotcha DK! i did chime in on that, and it may have come across that i was band bashing but i was just against people who confused their opinion as fact

2:29pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

That seems to be in the wind these days--opinion as fact. It's affecting everything we love (and hate). Sorry if I misread or wrongly painted you in a corner--I thoroughly enjoyed scrolling through it all but didn't give it the usual "laser-like focus" that I apply to most things. Haha. As always, your show is brightening my afternoon.

2:33pm johnk77:

jason ringenberg is a great guy
warnerhodges

2:38pm Planet Tyler:
