Listener comments!
	9:04am Marcel M: JOE
	9:05am upstate chris: RADIO!
	9:05am annie: gm joe and noise-makers!
	9:05am melinda: hi Joe & all!
	9:06am annie: bike-day: t-minus two days and counting!!
	👻 9:07am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, infinitely better than a cold one, shoulder that is. annie is it really yellow?
	9:07am Sem Chumbo: The McGasko Show featuring Joe. Good morning, and hello, all within sight of my typed words.
	👻 9:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, joy! Monday at last!
	9:09am MD: Good Morning All....This Opening is keeping my Sensimist-Flonaseed head...quite Mellow!!! Thanks Joe!
	👻 9:09am Brian in UK: Sem, we are vacating the allotment. What with Lili's broken humerous (mending well) and the very poor soil) enough is enough.
	9:09am Marcel M: What a nice thing to hear first thing in the morning!
	👻 9:11am Brian in UK: Wondered where Harpo Marx got his name from. Me thinking it was from playing pinochle.
	9:11am annie: @ Brian in UK: it truely is..
	👻 9:12am Brian in UK: annie you will be the talk of the town.
	9:12am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK: ah, damn it all. Perhaps keep your (dirty) hand in w/ some container planting? Hard to quit cold turkey, I would think. (earth sign talking)
	👻 9:13am doctorjazz: Hi all!
	9:13am Joe McG: Good morning, radio friends, and thanks for joining me today.
	9:13am annie: i'm so stoked by that. i'm taking it to all the places populated by people who could definitely use one. even if i have to go to.... aaagrrrhhhgghh malls
	9:14am Sem Chumbo: Then there could be a film, "Annie Mall"
	👻 9:14am Brian in UK: Sem, I know but we are also thinking of moving now that the birds (non chickens ) have left the nest. It would be great to have a space outside the back door.
	9:16am sphere: hello folks.
	9:16am Sem Chumbo: Big changes, Brian. Will the chickens be able to transition without pyschological counseling?
	9:17am Chris from DC: That is kind of spritely isn't it?
	9:18am melinda: I like the spritely.
	👻 9:18am Brian in UK: Sem, chickens produce miracles every day and were in battery-like conditions before we 'rescued' them so they are tough old birds in more ways than one. We are the ones needing counselling.
	9:20am Bronwyn Bishop: good morning joe and everyone, i like the spritely sounds
	👻 9:21am Brian in UK: Joe is this an ngongi speeded up?
	9:21am JakeGould: Hello Joe! Hello others as well!
	9:23am Joe McG: @Brian: It's actually a type of West African guitar called a hoddu combined with a Western-style guitar (two dudes are playing at once).
	9:24am Cheri Pi: Digging this Colour Haze. Heya Joe!
	9:25am Joe McG: Heya, CP! :)
	9:27am Cooh John: Good morning all. Digging the music. Monday is off to a good start.
	9:29am Marc Francis: Joe McG! I never know what to expect from your show except for the music to be great. But this is fucking fantastic so far!
	9:30am Joe McG: Thanks, Marc! I like to hear that I'm not too predictable!
	9:33am Chud: Joe, do you have any ear bleach? I made the mistake of watching some of the White House Egg Roll Band – it was like watching a low-budget Mormon Partridge Family
	9:38am Joe McG: @Chud: Wow, White House Egg Roll Band sounds like a band from 1968!
	9:40am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: We’re only 4 months in but come August 2017 it might start to feel like August 1967 around here.
	9:42am Passaic River Blues: Opening set much strong!
	9:42am Chud: I hear that, @Jake
	9:46am JakeGould: Maybe in our retro crazy times “Here Comes the Judge!” will make a comeback.
	9:50am Joe McG: Hope you're all having a nice morning today.
	9:51am MD: We are all Magnetically attracted to you Joe!
	9:51am Sem Chumbo: Tide's out, dirt's in, all is right with the world. Thanks for asking, Joe!
	9:52am sphere: btw, i'm making a short pilgrimage to the WFMU Record Show this month for my birthday. hope you all find something good. :)
	9:53am Joe McG: @MD: Ha ha! I'm so glad someone wrote a song about "Ethan Frome." @Sem: Nice to hear! @sphere: Stop by the merch stand and say hello!
	9:53am sphere: i definitely will, Joe!
	👻 9:54am Brian in UK: All these showoffs going to the record fare. Unfare.
	9:55am futurescamp: I thought the first set was perfect and yet here are selections somehow topping it, excited to hear more of this new Magnetic Fields album!
	9:56am Joe McG: @Brian: We'll think of you! :) @futurescamp: It seems like he's singing all the songs this time around, which makes sense, since it's really his autobiography in song. It sounds good!
	10:00am JakeGould: I like this Brazilian Octopus’s style!
	10:00am Fernando M Pacheco: Wow!!! Brazilian Octopus!!!! That's something I haven't heard in a long time.
	10:02am Joe McG: Love the album cover, too.
	10:04am futurescamp: @JoeMcG sounds great, and I hope there are other songs about books he (and many others) were assigned to read in school.
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: This sounds like Troggs-lite.
	10:05am futurescamp: @JoeMcG some friends used to do a live band karaoke show of 69 love songs for valentine's day, maye this new one would work for new years.
	10:09am JakeGould: The cover to “Brazilian Octopus” is indeed pretty great. Especially like the rocky setting and little kid sitting on top of the piano. img.discogs.com...
	10:09am Alice Formato: Good Morning Joe, Loved the Version of the BeeGees, With the Sun in My Eyes, Thank You, Have a Great Day:)
	10:13am Joe McG: Oops, sloppy transitions this morning, folks! Thanks, Alice!
	👻 10:14am Hughie Considine: A fine moment for Peter Gabriel, produced by Robert Fripp, before he went all world music on us.
	10:14am Alice Formato: :)
	10:15am MD: Collins on Drums...
	10:15am BLCKDGRD: The first four Gabriel solos, holy the fuck!
	10:15am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	10:16am trouble: good morning show!
	10:17am trouble: oops: good morning JOE! apparently more coffee is needed b4 typing!
	10:19am Joe McG: @trouble: Ha ha, I'll take "good morning show"! Sending out the Modfather to you! :)
	10:20am BLCKDGRD: Romeo Voidy, this Lithics
	10:20am northguineahills: The Lithics, the new No Wave!
	10:20am annie: (....ppsssssttt: joe, are sfl emails going out soon?)
	10:22am trouble: joe you don't do a good morning show. you do a great morning show!!
	10:22am anonlovesyou: this is a good DJ right here. I throw shade here when DJs are sinking WFMU and making me want to switch the station. I also give cred where its due. you ROCK MR DJ!
	10:23am Bronwyn Bishop: "good morning show" thats adorable
	10:23am Joe McG: @trouble: Aw, shucks, thanks! @anonlovesyou: Loving you right back!
	👻 10:33am Brian in UK: Joe, think it is fair to say that amphetamine sulphate was the drug of choice then.
	10:36am anonlovesyouevenmore: WHATS MY NAME???
	10:36am Greg from ZONE 5: YES!!! This song is woefully underplayed…
	10:36am JakeGould: I almost said James Brown… But something said, “Prince!”
	10:36am Passaic River Blues: Click that ish.
	10:36am Sem Chumbo: okokokokokokokokok...nice one, Joe.
	10:37am StuBot: I love this whole album. Great show Joe!!!!
	10:37am SeanG: hellz yeah
	10:37am The Oscar: YES! I've always wanted to make a mix called "Prince's Princiest Hits," with this, "Housequake," "Annie Christian"...
	10:37am Tim 07030: I bought the CD single of this at the Record Fair last year for 99 cents!
	10:37am Joe McG: Thanks, StuBot!
	👻 10:38am Brian in UK: My name is Prince and I'm funky. My name is Prince and I'm a cheeky monkey. (Jim Morrison could have rhymed this)
	10:39am Sem Chumbo: ...after all, BiUK, he made poetry history by rhyming fire w/ higher and pyre.
	10:39am KP: My name is KP, i live in a teepee
	10:39am StuBot: Great for a radio edit. Only wish you could play Sexy M.F.
	10:39am Mick: This mix!
	10:41am StuBot: Amazing Prince memories flowing here...I sure loved the 90s
	10:43am JakeGould: Only Prince could make about 3 minutes of that dog barking tolerable.
	10:43am The Oscar: Okay, FINE-- show favorited. :)
	10:43am StuBot: Go Go Prince tribute!!! Another amazing deep cut Joe.
	10:44am Joe McG: @Jake: I was wondering if he stole that from Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love."
	10:45am βrian: This wouldn't work as "Contróversy."
	10:45am coelacanth∅: good morning Joe and All
	10:45am JakeGould: All I want to know is the backstory of that dog bark sample in general.
	10:50am Passaic River Blues: Oh man, how good is this song?
	10:51am Joe McG: @PRB: One of my all-time faves. I don't think it charted.
	10:52am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, old fish.
	10:55am Itzall Ablurr: <3
	10:57am coelacanth∅: Sem! how ya been?
	10:58am Passaic River Blues: A couple of weeks ago I listened to Little Jimmy Scott's breathless six-minute cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U". In the right frame of mind, it's guaranteed tears.
	11:01am fred: Good morning Joe and all
	11:02am Joe McG: @PRB: Never heard! Need to!
	11:03am fred: @PRB: Wow, I need to hear this!
	11:03am Sem Chumbo: All good here, @coel. Hope the same w/ you. Hey, fred.
	11:03am βrian: @fred: What's gonna happen with the election? (Or is it too exasperating to think about?)
	11:04am βrian: Wow, that squealy scream reminded me of Olga P!
	11:04am Listener Alexandra: Beyond amazing, Joe!
	11:05am lloyd michigan: I may be the only here that prefers Prince's "poppier" side.
	11:07am fred: @βrian: No idea. The second round should be easy for me though: I'll go vote for whoever runs against Le Pen, though I'll dislike the other choice. Weirdly, Mélenchon would be worse for me, because although he's the supposed leftist, I can't stand nationalism
	11:08am Passaic River Blues: @Joe&Fred: it was on Scott's 1998 comeback record. There may have been an alternative version on some import vinyl, but it's been too long and I really don't remember. @Fred: You're in a tough spot there but, yeah, ANYONE but Le Pen.
	11:08am βrian: @fred: Yeah, I find it annoying that he's compared to Bernie Sanders.
	11:09am The Oscar: I was working in a used record store when Prince died, and we couldn't keep ANYTHING in the store. We had a bunch of overstock copies of Emancipation which we couldn't previously get $8 in the store, which we soon realized could fetch up to $150 online. It was INSANITY.
	11:10am fred: @βrian: Who does this? My father always assumed any US politician would be right-wing in France. Bernie would be on the left fringe by now, here
	11:12am coelacanth∅: my favorite Prince is the stuff that was never officially released; the outtakes and demos that Kurt and Matt (mostly) played last year on their tribute shows. it opened me up to how brilliant he really was. i liked him but his radio stuff never hit me like that.
	11:13am βrian: Some of the US news sites that bother to cover foreign politics. Bernie is liberal, but he's a pragmatist. And I don't think he's interested in power per se. That's rare in the U.S.
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: Joe, been catching up on some Clarence White. Never cease to be amazed at his playing. Think he recorded with D&B.
	11:15am Tim 07030: @Oscar, I paid $2.99 for Emancipation a couple of years after it came out!
	11:15am Dean: Thought I recognized this Goose Creek.
	11:16am Tim 07030: Joe, I am not familiar with this Prince song.
	11:17am Joe McG: @Tim: It's from his previously unreleased country sessions. ;)
	11:18am fred: @βrian: I still don't know who I'll vote for in the first round. Arthaud, Poutou or Hamon, in that order, but rejecting any who sticks to rejecting EU membership. I know Hamon won't, so he's my default choice
	11:19am coelacanth∅: when he was 14...strangely, he actually sounds older here!
	11:20am The Oscar: @Tim That's about what we probably could have gotten for it just before he died (sealed!). Afterward, we just kept bumping it by $5, thinking it couldn't possibly sell... and then it would sell within half an hour. I did the math, and we made a couple grand in Prince sales over the course of about a week.
	11:22am coelacanth∅: i got 4-5 of my maybe 8 Prince albums for a buck each in excellent condition at thrift stores.
	11:23am coelacanth∅: Yay Duane!
	11:23am BennettCap: Woo yeah!
	👻 11:24am doctorjazz: One of the great, least played tracks from the Layla album, nice to hear it!
	11:24am fred: @The Oscar: I love how Prince contributed to keep record stores open. I don't like that it took his death for it to happen, but that's an appropriate topic for Easter
	11:27am listener monica: I really feel that derek and the dominoes suck except for this song which is great!
	11:27am KP: Brian, Clarence White's connection to D&B was Gram Parsons.
	11:27am BennettCap: I'm friends with Bobby Whitlock on facebook. He's still playing and writing with his wife. He had a solo album around the same time as Layla that featured Clapton and the other Dominoes.
	11:28am listener monica: Oy did someone die???
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: @KP do you have a copy of GP & the Fallen Angels - Live 1973?
	11:30am The Oscar: @fred It's a somewhat ghoulish fact that notable deaths would usually cause a spike in sales, but Prince was on another level entirely. I think it's because even the most diehard fans would have gaps in their collections, given the MASSIVE amount of output. Still, the sales were really good for the store-- sort of a last gift :) The only drag was we didn't have any left to play in the store!
	11:34am KP: Speaking of Gram Parsons
	11:34am Joe McG: @KP: Just for you, KP!
	11:34am Planet Tyler: Why does this great song have such a bad name? "Hot Burrito??" Always wondered if theres a good story there or if they were just being lazy.
	11:35am Michele: Gram Parsons ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
	11:35am Joe McG: @Planet Tyler: I wonder! I think it's just musician humor.
	11:35am KP: i dont think i ever got that one Brian despite fact it was recorded about a 10 minute drive from me. it was live in a studio
	11:37am The Oscar: Sneaky Pete Kleinow has probably my favorite post-fame career of any rock star.
	11:37am fred: @Planet Tyler: What's wrong with being lazy? Bertrand Russell praised it: www.zpub.com...
	11:38am Joe McG: @TheOscar: He played with everybody!
	11:39am The Oscar: @Joe And did stop motion effects for Empire Strikes Back and The Terminator!
	11:39am Michele: HEY JOE! This song!
	11:40am coelacanth∅: the original?
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: KP I have what is called the long box version. You are welcome to it.
	11:40am Joe McG: @TO: That's so amazing! @Michele: This one goes out to you! :)
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: Now here is a real hero.
	11:40am Michele: ❤️
	11:43am listener monica: Angel of the morning sounds WRONG sung in the 3rd person by a man.
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Saw him over here a couple of years ago with his old friend John Platania. He really could sing the telephone directory.
	11:44am listener monica: Whoa. And he wrote it!
	11:45am fred: @listener monica: but it's about right when dedicated to Michele before noon
	11:45am Whosondephone: I think I actually understood the song.
	11:45am Planet Tyler: @Joe - I do so hope!
	11:46am Dean: Larry Hosford. If you love country(-ish) rock, play some Larry Hosford. Amoeba near me is losing about 1/3 of its footprint. Pot dispensary going in, I think.
	11:46am KP: Brian, i never went for that recording that much. his band was sort of lacking live, i thought.
	11:47am KP: D&D is the worst of EC
	11:47am coelacanth∅: Duane is the reason they had one Great album.
	11:47am Planet Tyler: @fred - and there's also Kurt Vonnegut: "We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different."
	11:48am The Oscar: I'd actually be pretty okay with Eric Clapton if you excised everything recorded under his own name. Imagine a world where EC was just this legendary-but-obscure sideman.
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: @KP I cannot disagree, they were a pickup band so take that as a no.
	11:49am Joe McG: @TO: I just find him a bit boring on his own, bar a song here and there. But Derek and the Dominoes kills.
	11:50am coelacanth∅: Clapton was good as long as there was an excellent musician there for him to compete with.
	11:51am Dean: Pretty much total agreement with @Joe McG up there @11:49. Some of the stuff with George Harrison works, too. D&D was a band that clicked. Something went right on that album. But I can understand folks tiring of an overplayed "Layla."
	11:51am coelacanth∅: (Jack Bruce, Duane Allman, Steve Winwood...)
	11:53am Tommy Jack Haynes: Great show
	11:53am fred: Clapton is a synonym for boring to me. I hate virtuosity, even in dance
	11:54am MD: THANK YOU MR JOE!!!
	11:54am Joe McG: @Dean: No doubt that "Layla" has been murdered by overplay. @fred: He's pretty dull when he's not lusting after his best friend's wife!
	11:55am coelacanth∅: i don't mind virtuosity if it's not for the sake of virtuosity. Clapton bores me because he's not creative. he just mimics.
	11:55am MD: I heard there are no Clear photos of Mr. Fuzzy...
	11:56am Sem Chumbo: Thanks for the show, Joe. Never know when it's gonna take an interesting turn, like the discussion ^ on Clapton. Never a dull moment, you're a prince. Later, all.
	11:57am MD: I am with @coelacanth∅...Beefheart over Zappa any Day!!!!
	11:57am Joe McG: It's good to be alive and it's been great playing records for you today. Thanks for keeping me company on the comments board. Have a great week, everybody!
	11:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe! later on y'all
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: Great sounds, Joe. African electric guitarists over any others.
	11:58am βrian: Here's to the worker bees who dance well but without virtuosity. It's not about them, after all. It's about where the nectar is.
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Joe!

	9:04am Marcel M: JOE
	9:05am upstate chris: RADIO!
	9:05am annie: gm joe and noise-makers!
	9:05am melinda: hi Joe & all!
	9:06am annie: bike-day: t-minus two days and counting!!
	👻 9:07am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, infinitely better than a cold one, shoulder that is. annie is it really yellow?
	9:07am Sem Chumbo: The McGasko Show featuring Joe. Good morning, and hello, all within sight of my typed words.
	👻 9:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, joy! Monday at last!
	9:09am MD: Good Morning All....This Opening is keeping my Sensimist-Flonaseed head...quite Mellow!!! Thanks Joe!
	👻 9:09am Brian in UK: Sem, we are vacating the allotment. What with Lili's broken humerous (mending well) and the very poor soil) enough is enough.
	9:09am Marcel M: What a nice thing to hear first thing in the morning!
	👻 9:11am Brian in UK: Wondered where Harpo Marx got his name from. Me thinking it was from playing pinochle.
	9:11am annie: @ Brian in UK: it truely is..
	👻 9:12am Brian in UK: annie you will be the talk of the town.
	9:12am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK: ah, damn it all. Perhaps keep your (dirty) hand in w/ some container planting? Hard to quit cold turkey, I would think. (earth sign talking)
	👻 9:13am doctorjazz: Hi all!
	9:13am Joe McG: Good morning, radio friends, and thanks for joining me today.
	9:13am annie: i'm so stoked by that. i'm taking it to all the places populated by people who could definitely use one. even if i have to go to.... aaagrrrhhhgghh malls
	9:14am Sem Chumbo: Then there could be a film, "Annie Mall"
	👻 9:14am Brian in UK: Sem, I know but we are also thinking of moving now that the birds (non chickens ) have left the nest. It would be great to have a space outside the back door.
	9:16am sphere: hello folks.
	9:16am Sem Chumbo: Big changes, Brian. Will the chickens be able to transition without pyschological counseling?
	9:17am Chris from DC: That is kind of spritely isn't it?
	9:18am melinda: I like the spritely.
	👻 9:18am Brian in UK: Sem, chickens produce miracles every day and were in battery-like conditions before we 'rescued' them so they are tough old birds in more ways than one. We are the ones needing counselling.
	9:20am Bronwyn Bishop: good morning joe and everyone, i like the spritely sounds
	👻 9:21am Brian in UK: Joe is this an ngongi speeded up?
	9:21am JakeGould: Hello Joe! Hello others as well!
	9:23am Joe McG: @Brian: It's actually a type of West African guitar called a hoddu combined with a Western-style guitar (two dudes are playing at once).
	9:24am Cheri Pi: Digging this Colour Haze. Heya Joe!
	9:25am Joe McG: Heya, CP! :)
	9:27am Cooh John: Good morning all. Digging the music. Monday is off to a good start.
	9:29am Marc Francis: Joe McG! I never know what to expect from your show except for the music to be great. But this is fucking fantastic so far!
	9:30am Joe McG: Thanks, Marc! I like to hear that I'm not too predictable!
	9:33am Chud: Joe, do you have any ear bleach? I made the mistake of watching some of the White House Egg Roll Band – it was like watching a low-budget Mormon Partridge Family
	9:38am Joe McG: @Chud: Wow, White House Egg Roll Band sounds like a band from 1968!
	9:40am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: We’re only 4 months in but come August 2017 it might start to feel like August 1967 around here.
	9:42am Passaic River Blues: Opening set much strong!
	9:42am Chud: I hear that, @Jake
	9:46am JakeGould: Maybe in our retro crazy times “Here Comes the Judge!” will make a comeback.
	9:50am Joe McG: Hope you're all having a nice morning today.
	9:51am MD: We are all Magnetically attracted to you Joe!
	9:51am Sem Chumbo: Tide's out, dirt's in, all is right with the world. Thanks for asking, Joe!
	9:52am sphere: btw, i'm making a short pilgrimage to the WFMU Record Show this month for my birthday. hope you all find something good. :)
	9:53am Joe McG: @MD: Ha ha! I'm so glad someone wrote a song about "Ethan Frome." @Sem: Nice to hear! @sphere: Stop by the merch stand and say hello!
	9:53am sphere: i definitely will, Joe!
	👻 9:54am Brian in UK: All these showoffs going to the record fare. Unfare.
	9:55am futurescamp: I thought the first set was perfect and yet here are selections somehow topping it, excited to hear more of this new Magnetic Fields album!
	9:56am Joe McG: @Brian: We'll think of you! :) @futurescamp: It seems like he's singing all the songs this time around, which makes sense, since it's really his autobiography in song. It sounds good!
	10:00am JakeGould: I like this Brazilian Octopus’s style!
	10:00am Fernando M Pacheco: Wow!!! Brazilian Octopus!!!! That's something I haven't heard in a long time.
	10:02am Joe McG: Love the album cover, too.
	10:04am futurescamp: @JoeMcG sounds great, and I hope there are other songs about books he (and many others) were assigned to read in school.
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: This sounds like Troggs-lite.
	10:05am futurescamp: @JoeMcG some friends used to do a live band karaoke show of 69 love songs for valentine's day, maye this new one would work for new years.
	10:09am JakeGould: The cover to “Brazilian Octopus” is indeed pretty great. Especially like the rocky setting and little kid sitting on top of the piano. img.discogs.com...
	10:09am Alice Formato: Good Morning Joe, Loved the Version of the BeeGees, With the Sun in My Eyes, Thank You, Have a Great Day:)
	10:13am Joe McG: Oops, sloppy transitions this morning, folks! Thanks, Alice!
	👻 10:14am Hughie Considine: A fine moment for Peter Gabriel, produced by Robert Fripp, before he went all world music on us.
	10:14am Alice Formato: :)
	10:15am MD: Collins on Drums...
	10:15am BLCKDGRD: The first four Gabriel solos, holy the fuck!
	10:15am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	10:16am trouble: good morning show!
	10:17am trouble: oops: good morning JOE! apparently more coffee is needed b4 typing!
	10:19am Joe McG: @trouble: Ha ha, I'll take "good morning show"! Sending out the Modfather to you! :)
	10:20am BLCKDGRD: Romeo Voidy, this Lithics
	10:20am northguineahills: The Lithics, the new No Wave!
	10:20am annie: (....ppsssssttt: joe, are sfl emails going out soon?)
	10:22am trouble: joe you don't do a good morning show. you do a great morning show!!
	10:22am anonlovesyou: this is a good DJ right here. I throw shade here when DJs are sinking WFMU and making me want to switch the station. I also give cred where its due. you ROCK MR DJ!
	10:23am Bronwyn Bishop: "good morning show" thats adorable
	10:23am Joe McG: @trouble: Aw, shucks, thanks! @anonlovesyou: Loving you right back!
	👻 10:33am Brian in UK: Joe, think it is fair to say that amphetamine sulphate was the drug of choice then.
	10:36am anonlovesyouevenmore: WHATS MY NAME???
	10:36am Greg from ZONE 5: YES!!! This song is woefully underplayed…
	10:36am JakeGould: I almost said James Brown… But something said, “Prince!”
	10:36am Passaic River Blues: Click that ish.
	10:36am Sem Chumbo: okokokokokokokokok...nice one, Joe.
	10:37am StuBot: I love this whole album. Great show Joe!!!!
	10:37am SeanG: hellz yeah
	10:37am The Oscar: YES! I've always wanted to make a mix called "Prince's Princiest Hits," with this, "Housequake," "Annie Christian"...
	10:37am Tim 07030: I bought the CD single of this at the Record Fair last year for 99 cents!
	10:37am Joe McG: Thanks, StuBot!
	👻 10:38am Brian in UK: My name is Prince and I'm funky. My name is Prince and I'm a cheeky monkey. (Jim Morrison could have rhymed this)
	10:39am Sem Chumbo: ...after all, BiUK, he made poetry history by rhyming fire w/ higher and pyre.
	10:39am KP: My name is KP, i live in a teepee
	10:39am StuBot: Great for a radio edit. Only wish you could play Sexy M.F.
	10:39am Mick: This mix!
	10:41am StuBot: Amazing Prince memories flowing here...I sure loved the 90s
	10:43am JakeGould: Only Prince could make about 3 minutes of that dog barking tolerable.
	10:43am The Oscar: Okay, FINE-- show favorited. :)
	10:43am StuBot: Go Go Prince tribute!!! Another amazing deep cut Joe.
	10:44am Joe McG: @Jake: I was wondering if he stole that from Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love."
	10:45am βrian: This wouldn't work as "Contróversy."
	10:45am coelacanth∅: good morning Joe and All
	10:45am JakeGould: All I want to know is the backstory of that dog bark sample in general.
	10:50am Passaic River Blues: Oh man, how good is this song?
	10:51am Joe McG: @PRB: One of my all-time faves. I don't think it charted.
	10:52am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, old fish.
	10:55am Itzall Ablurr: <3
	10:57am coelacanth∅: Sem! how ya been?
	10:58am Passaic River Blues: A couple of weeks ago I listened to Little Jimmy Scott's breathless six-minute cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U". In the right frame of mind, it's guaranteed tears.
	11:01am fred: Good morning Joe and all
	11:02am Joe McG: @PRB: Never heard! Need to!
	11:03am fred: @PRB: Wow, I need to hear this!
	11:03am Sem Chumbo: All good here, @coel. Hope the same w/ you. Hey, fred.
	11:03am βrian: @fred: What's gonna happen with the election? (Or is it too exasperating to think about?)
	11:04am βrian: Wow, that squealy scream reminded me of Olga P!
	11:04am Listener Alexandra: Beyond amazing, Joe!
	11:05am lloyd michigan: I may be the only here that prefers Prince's "poppier" side.
	11:07am fred: @βrian: No idea. The second round should be easy for me though: I'll go vote for whoever runs against Le Pen, though I'll dislike the other choice. Weirdly, Mélenchon would be worse for me, because although he's the supposed leftist, I can't stand nationalism
	11:08am Passaic River Blues: @Joe&Fred: it was on Scott's 1998 comeback record. There may have been an alternative version on some import vinyl, but it's been too long and I really don't remember. @Fred: You're in a tough spot there but, yeah, ANYONE but Le Pen.
	11:08am βrian: @fred: Yeah, I find it annoying that he's compared to Bernie Sanders.
	11:09am The Oscar: I was working in a used record store when Prince died, and we couldn't keep ANYTHING in the store. We had a bunch of overstock copies of Emancipation which we couldn't previously get $8 in the store, which we soon realized could fetch up to $150 online. It was INSANITY.
	11:10am fred: @βrian: Who does this? My father always assumed any US politician would be right-wing in France. Bernie would be on the left fringe by now, here
	11:12am coelacanth∅: my favorite Prince is the stuff that was never officially released; the outtakes and demos that Kurt and Matt (mostly) played last year on their tribute shows. it opened me up to how brilliant he really was. i liked him but his radio stuff never hit me like that.
	11:13am βrian: Some of the US news sites that bother to cover foreign politics. Bernie is liberal, but he's a pragmatist. And I don't think he's interested in power per se. That's rare in the U.S.
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: Joe, been catching up on some Clarence White. Never cease to be amazed at his playing. Think he recorded with D&B.
	11:15am Tim 07030: @Oscar, I paid $2.99 for Emancipation a couple of years after it came out!
	11:15am Dean: Thought I recognized this Goose Creek.
	11:16am Tim 07030: Joe, I am not familiar with this Prince song.
	11:17am Joe McG: @Tim: It's from his previously unreleased country sessions. ;)
	11:18am fred: @βrian: I still don't know who I'll vote for in the first round. Arthaud, Poutou or Hamon, in that order, but rejecting any who sticks to rejecting EU membership. I know Hamon won't, so he's my default choice
	11:19am coelacanth∅: when he was 14...strangely, he actually sounds older here!
	11:20am The Oscar: @Tim That's about what we probably could have gotten for it just before he died (sealed!). Afterward, we just kept bumping it by $5, thinking it couldn't possibly sell... and then it would sell within half an hour. I did the math, and we made a couple grand in Prince sales over the course of about a week.
	11:22am coelacanth∅: i got 4-5 of my maybe 8 Prince albums for a buck each in excellent condition at thrift stores.
	11:23am coelacanth∅: Yay Duane!
	11:23am BennettCap: Woo yeah!
	👻 11:24am doctorjazz: One of the great, least played tracks from the Layla album, nice to hear it!
	11:24am fred: @The Oscar: I love how Prince contributed to keep record stores open. I don't like that it took his death for it to happen, but that's an appropriate topic for Easter
	11:27am listener monica: I really feel that derek and the dominoes suck except for this song which is great!
	11:27am KP: Brian, Clarence White's connection to D&B was Gram Parsons.
	11:27am BennettCap: I'm friends with Bobby Whitlock on facebook. He's still playing and writing with his wife. He had a solo album around the same time as Layla that featured Clapton and the other Dominoes.
	11:28am listener monica: Oy did someone die???
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: @KP do you have a copy of GP & the Fallen Angels - Live 1973?
	11:30am The Oscar: @fred It's a somewhat ghoulish fact that notable deaths would usually cause a spike in sales, but Prince was on another level entirely. I think it's because even the most diehard fans would have gaps in their collections, given the MASSIVE amount of output. Still, the sales were really good for the store-- sort of a last gift :) The only drag was we didn't have any left to play in the store!
	11:34am KP: Speaking of Gram Parsons
	11:34am Joe McG: @KP: Just for you, KP!
	11:34am Planet Tyler: Why does this great song have such a bad name? "Hot Burrito??" Always wondered if theres a good story there or if they were just being lazy.
	11:35am Michele: Gram Parsons ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
	11:35am Joe McG: @Planet Tyler: I wonder! I think it's just musician humor.
	11:35am KP: i dont think i ever got that one Brian despite fact it was recorded about a 10 minute drive from me. it was live in a studio
	11:37am The Oscar: Sneaky Pete Kleinow has probably my favorite post-fame career of any rock star.
	11:37am fred: @Planet Tyler: What's wrong with being lazy? Bertrand Russell praised it: www.zpub.com...
	11:38am Joe McG: @TheOscar: He played with everybody!
	11:39am The Oscar: @Joe And did stop motion effects for Empire Strikes Back and The Terminator!
	11:39am Michele: HEY JOE! This song!
	11:40am coelacanth∅: the original?
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: KP I have what is called the long box version. You are welcome to it.
	11:40am Joe McG: @TO: That's so amazing! @Michele: This one goes out to you! :)
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: Now here is a real hero.
	11:40am Michele: ❤️
	11:43am listener monica: Angel of the morning sounds WRONG sung in the 3rd person by a man.
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Saw him over here a couple of years ago with his old friend John Platania. He really could sing the telephone directory.
	11:44am listener monica: Whoa. And he wrote it!
	11:45am fred: @listener monica: but it's about right when dedicated to Michele before noon
	11:45am Whosondephone: I think I actually understood the song.
	11:45am Planet Tyler: @Joe - I do so hope!
	11:46am Dean: Larry Hosford. If you love country(-ish) rock, play some Larry Hosford. Amoeba near me is losing about 1/3 of its footprint. Pot dispensary going in, I think.
	11:46am KP: Brian, i never went for that recording that much. his band was sort of lacking live, i thought.
	11:47am KP: D&D is the worst of EC
	11:47am coelacanth∅: Duane is the reason they had one Great album.
	11:47am Planet Tyler: @fred - and there's also Kurt Vonnegut: "We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different."
	11:48am The Oscar: I'd actually be pretty okay with Eric Clapton if you excised everything recorded under his own name. Imagine a world where EC was just this legendary-but-obscure sideman.
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: @KP I cannot disagree, they were a pickup band so take that as a no.
	11:49am Joe McG: @TO: I just find him a bit boring on his own, bar a song here and there. But Derek and the Dominoes kills.
	11:50am coelacanth∅: Clapton was good as long as there was an excellent musician there for him to compete with.
	11:51am Dean: Pretty much total agreement with @Joe McG up there @11:49. Some of the stuff with George Harrison works, too. D&D was a band that clicked. Something went right on that album. But I can understand folks tiring of an overplayed "Layla."
	11:51am coelacanth∅: (Jack Bruce, Duane Allman, Steve Winwood...)
	11:53am Tommy Jack Haynes: Great show
	11:53am fred: Clapton is a synonym for boring to me. I hate virtuosity, even in dance
	11:54am MD: THANK YOU MR JOE!!!
	11:54am Joe McG: @Dean: No doubt that "Layla" has been murdered by overplay. @fred: He's pretty dull when he's not lusting after his best friend's wife!
	11:55am coelacanth∅: i don't mind virtuosity if it's not for the sake of virtuosity. Clapton bores me because he's not creative. he just mimics.
	11:55am MD: I heard there are no Clear photos of Mr. Fuzzy...
	11:56am Sem Chumbo: Thanks for the show, Joe. Never know when it's gonna take an interesting turn, like the discussion ^ on Clapton. Never a dull moment, you're a prince. Later, all.
	11:57am MD: I am with @coelacanth∅...Beefheart over Zappa any Day!!!!
	11:57am Joe McG: It's good to be alive and it's been great playing records for you today. Thanks for keeping me company on the comments board. Have a great week, everybody!
	11:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe! later on y'all
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: Great sounds, Joe. African electric guitarists over any others.
	11:58am βrian: Here's to the worker bees who dance well but without virtuosity. It's not about them, after all. It's about where the nectar is.
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Joe!
