	9:43am listener monica: thank you for filling my ears with barbara manning this morning!

	♥ 9:52am rsj: glad to hear you did not get over-served tequila and mezcal over the weekend
	9:53am kimzilla: Been loving this show this morning Joe. Right out of the gate, the winning numbers. Keep em coming!
	9:53am bobdoesthings: it's called 'appropriated'
	♥ 9:58am Joe McG: Hi, kimmy! :)
	10:00am mary: turning up Mekons!!
	10:00am mary: this album one of my faves
	10:01am mary: ever
	10:01am JakeGould: Is that Barbara Manning cover for the 7" the one that is blue and silkscreened?
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: @mary: Why do any other groups bother writing lyrics when the Mekons write the best ones?
	10:02am KP: Well this is lively. Hi, Joe!
	10:03am mary: i dunno
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: @Jake: The copy here is greenish-gray but it is letterpress printed, looks like!
	10:05am JakeGould: @Joe: I had that single back in the day! Then I went digital… (And had to sell it to pay the bills back in the day as well…)
	10:08am thedunkel: British Tupac!
	10:09am listener monica: i wish to express my love for tom greenhalgh here.
	10:11am josh: blimey, don't think i've ever heard arab strap on WFMU. good work, joe!
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: @josh: Hard to play them on the radio, he cusses so much!
	10:12am mary: totally in love w tom greenhalgh
	10:12am josh: Ah yes, good point. IIRC the wonder album Aidan did with Bill Wells (Everything's Getting Older) is a bit lighter on the swears than some of the Arab Strap stuff...
	10:13am josh: wonder album? i meant 'wonderful album', but i guess 'wonder album' works too.
	♥ 10:14am Summer and Michael: When we heard that harmonium whir away directly after that great John Cooper Clarke track, we were sure you were making what Andy Kershaw used to call "the killer segue" into Ivor Cutler, not Arab Strap. Regardless, what an amazing set, Joe. Love! Good morning.
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: S&M: Ah, Ivor would've been a lovely idea! He did cross my mind, but then I forgot! :(
	10:15am P-90: Hi Joe McG and Surface Dwellers. Just checking in to say: You're killin it As usual.
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: Many thanks, P-90! Always like that kind of interjection.
	10:17am mary: beautiful show, all of it
	10:17am βrian: I think Ivor will emerge as a trendy new baby name. Or it ought to.
	10:17am b: This Looper song is exactly what I needed to hear today, thanks so much for playing it.
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: You bet, b.
	10:19am βrian: We haven't heard the Marseillaise yet have we?
	♥ 10:23am pantz: You're really expanding my UK indie Pop portfolio today, Joe. Cheers, mate!
	10:23am annie: workcrew here to install an air unit, headphones promptly applied to head. great show so far joe..!
	10:25am melinda: I just got the Tindersticks collection of Claire Denis film scores, this is included minus the words. One of my favorites. From Nenette et Boni.
	♥ 10:25am Brian in UK: Eyam pronounced 'I'm' is known as the plague village in Derbyshire. In 1665 a tailor in the village was sent some material from London it contained plague. When it was realised and many people died the village cut itself off and food was left on the edge of the village so people could still survive.
	10:25am Listener Alexandra: oh wow...fantastic Tindersticks choice today, Joe!
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Brian: I knew I could count on you for the back story! Hope your house search is going well!
	♥ 10:26am Brian in UK: Here is a link if anyone is interested. www.eyamplaguevillage.co.uk
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: Thanks, Alex!
	♥ 10:28am Brian in UK: Joe, we were up that way last week that is why I missed the show live. Surfs Down Ha ha.
	♥ 10:31am fred: @Brian: that site is weirdly cheerful, turning plague into a tourist attraction takes some... hmm... confidence?
	10:32am βrian: Do they sell press-on bubos for the kids?
	♥ 10:32am Irene Trudel: Loved this last set of Brits and such!
	10:34am P-90: Last set was gorgeous, a revelation
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Most peculiar, mama!
	10:36am melinda: Oh man, I haven't heard this in probably 30 years, too! Love it. Makes me a little sad.
	10:37am Claw!: JOE. PEOPLE.
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: Strange days, indeed! Hey, Claw!
	10:41am KH: Sound track for the #NotMyPresident Trump administration
	10:42am Art: Funny, it's probably my favorite and most-listened-to Lennon song. Good morning, everybody!
	10:42am Roberto: Strange Days ja vu.
	10:42am melinda: Thanks for the 2nd playing! I laughed out loud upon hearing it crank up again.
	10:43am βrian: Hah, I thought that was a pretty long single.
	10:43am annie: great tune!!!
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: I love hearing a song I've totally forgotten about and it coming alive to me again!
	♥ 10:43am Sem Chumbo: Noel used to live about 15 miles from here, on the shores of the mighty Bay of Fundy. Back in the hippy days:-D
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Sem: How cool! Was he a nice hippy? I like his ascots.
	10:45am annie: wow, i'd love to know the backstory to that noel harrison song.
	10:45am MFOOZ: I haven't heard that Lennon track for 30 years myself! Very timely. Decent little ditty for what was essentially a throw-away from Double Fantasy. Thanks for playing it twice!
	10:46am Bronwyn Bishop: whatever this is I LOVE IT
	10:48am Dennis Diken: that John L record was unfinished, no? the lyrics are not the final draft, I believe? diggin' the show Joe!
	♥ 10:48am Sem Chumbo: Yeah, a good guy I hear. When his house nearly burned down, he thanked the Mount Hanley Volunteer Fire Department for saving it by writing a song about them and the fire.. Natch, it got heavy rotation on local AM radio.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: Oh, look, here's Noel singing that song on TV: www.youtube.com...
	10:49am Bronwyn Bishop: someone should've persuaded the persuaders to use commas correctly
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Dennis: I love them, I think they're just as good as if he'd slaved over them. Hey everybody, come see Dennis play this Friday at Montgomery Hall!
	10:50am Bronwyn Bishop: unless they're saying "bad, bold and beautiful" to the girl, i guess
	10:51am Dean: They just dropped the Oxford comma, right? Right, @Bronwyn, they're addressing the girl.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @Bronwyn and Dean: I'm glad we solved that mystery!
	♥ 10:52am fred: @Bronwyn: isn't that on your calling card?
	10:52am melinda: I thought Nobody Told Me was on Milk and Honey.
	10:52am Bronwyn Bishop: another grammar dilemma solved by the top team on the comments board! yep fred, it says so right there in big letters
	10:53am Dean: The philological hermeneutics of pop song titles.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @melinda: Pretty sure it is!
	10:53am JtotheK: Sade, awesome!!!
	10:54am slugluv1313: ooooooo Sade!!!!! thank you Joe!
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: Does anyone know what Sade's up to now? Would she marry me?
	10:55am listener monica: @slugluv hiya!
	10:55am Dean: You're a smooth operator there, @Joe McG.
	♥ 10:56am fred: I haven't hear about her in years. She should
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Dean: Living the diamond life.
	10:57am JakeGould: Just logging in for real to say that the lack of an Oxford comma on “Bad, Bold and Beautiful, Girl” genuinely disconcerts me. And I am the first one to ditch Oxford commas.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @JakeG: NEVER ditch an Oxford comma! :)
	10:59am Bronwyn Bishop: i love oxford commas bc when i was in 2nd grade, the famous author james mcbride, who was the father of one of my lil friends, came in to teach us writing and he told us to always use oxford commas. so i always do.
	10:59am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: Sorry, it’s “Dewet, Cheatum & Howe” in my book.
	10:59am Parq: I was commuting, so the last thing I heard was the Lennon 45. "Nobody told me there'd be days like these -- strange days indeed." I've been saying that for 35 years now.
	10:59am Dennis Diken: thanks for the plug Joe! yeah, our Lovin' Spoonful trib show is a gas! this friday 5/12 at Monty Hall!
	11:00am Parq: And Joe, Sade wishes she could marry you.
	11:01am JakeGould: When I was in second grade I wrote a book report on Roberto Clemente by simply copy the book flap copy verbatim from the book. I got a commendation card from the principal and praise from my teacher. I learned on that day that school is a lie.
	11:02am Dean: I think Jake's on to something when it comes to ampersands. They effectively punctuate a series, combining both the comma and the conjunction.
	11:02am Bronwyn Bishop: hahaha jake thats amazing
	11:02am βrian: But you didn't marry your teacher, did you?
	11:04am βrian: We're all &ed up.
	11:04am Bronwyn Bishop: i believe it was the same year as the james mcbride when i did a book report on the 1st harry potter book, and my plot summary was primarily a list of all the foods at the great hall feast in one of the chapters. also, the year before, in 1st grade, i did a report on animal farm, which i read thinking it was a straightforward animal story. my teacher laughed her head off at me.
	11:04am Bronwyn Bishop: wildwood flower! my dad always used to play this. he learned it from his dad, bc we are a bunch of west virginia hillbillies
	11:05am JakeGould: @Brian: No I didn’t. A few years later—in 4th grade—I suddenly got tagged as a “troublesome” kid when a teacher asked me to run an errand to the teachers lounge and put her styrofoam cup back. I went in, had no idea how electric stoves work and just put the styrofoam cup on the electric stove. It caught on fire and I got blamed. Suddenly I became a “bad” student because I improperly placed a styrofoam cup on a stovetop. NYC Board of Education is garbage.
	11:06am Bronwyn Bishop: aw thats terrible :(
	♥ 11:06am fred: @βrian: if he did, he might have been a French president
	11:08am βrian: If I had known that was an option when I was in High School ...
	11:09am temp comment bunny: http://www.mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=2957
	11:12am JakeGould: @BronwynBishop: Nah! Don’t worry. Problems got solved by the time I was in 6th grade and my much older brother basically did my science fair project for me and I “won” the science fair… Man, did I look forward to going to 7th grade and JHS!
	11:15am Claw!: RIGBY
	11:16am Listener Alexandra: Can you play Eleanor Rigby covers straight through to Joe Belock? Please????
	11:17am annie: i think the only original report i wrote was in 8th grade with a book review of "The Yearling"; all others were carefully clipped pieces from the books i had to read on the subject matter. many times i even added a mis-spelled word or wrongly worded sentence to throw the teacher off. i always wondered if they checked the bibliographies i compiled to see how much was copied.
	11:17am Claw!: I'm with Alexandra on that request
	11:17am JakeGould: Didn’t Joe—or someone else on WFMU—do an all Elanor Rigby show once?
	11:17am βrian: Ah, Mr Prine.
	♥ 11:18am pantz: Love this John Prine track. Always makes me misty eyed.
	♥ 11:18am fred: It is happening again
	11:18am Claw!: Yes it was Joe
	♥ 11:18am Sem Chumbo: Fess up, Joe.
	11:18am Claw!: and it was AMAZING
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @Jake: I'm guilty of that, Jake. It was my Halloween Special.
	11:18am adrian in mpls: Yay! John Prine!
	11:19am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: You have good taste!
	♥ 11:19am JP from KC: Ah, No better way to start a Monday than with John Prine and Joe McG!
	11:19am JakeGould: All Eleanor Rigby show right here! wfmu.org...
	11:20am Parq: No [sniff], that's just something in my eye.
	11:20am Dean: Now, that's where I draw the line. "Me and Loretta..." Excuse me, but the first person pronoun should be subjective.
	♥ 11:21am Planet Tyler: It's just a piece of dust..
	11:21am βrian: My mom was a teacher and would've impaled me on a pike had I copied material for assignments. I couldn't take that risk.
	♥ 11:24am Brian in UK: Did I see someone trying to separate their clauses.
	11:24am JakeGould: @βrian: Imma shut up now, but in H.S. I did work for others for $$$… So I made it work for me!
	11:25am annie: my dad was a hard-nosed teacher, i'm grateful he never read my homework assignments. ...only because i made sure to do my homework in study hall. his perfectionism was brutal.
	♥ 11:25am Brian in UK: I before e except after c is such a load of bull.
	11:25am Davis: i really like this old people set
	11:26am JakeGould: Joe, play more old people.
	11:26am NH: I like it, too, but it's a little unnerving!
	11:26am Bronwyn Bishop: LEE!
	11:27am Bronwyn Bishop: a family friend recently gave me cds of every single album ever released on lee hazlewood industries!!!
	11:29am annie: joy of joys, bronwyn!
	♥ 11:31am JP from KC: My parents were both teachers, and Would never stand for plagiarism of any sort. However, my brother is two years older than I am, and on more than one occasion, I resubmitted his assignments to a couple of the "flightier" teachers we both had. They never noticed.
	11:31am djsheilab: Hey Joe! Have been listening for the last hour. That Lee Hazelwood track was seriously great! And thank you for playing Honeybeat :)
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: @SheilaB: Looks like I'm not the only one! Heavy airplay here at WFMU! ;) Hope you're feeling better, dear Sheila!
	11:33am Wild Neil: PEACE all. I just read A Clockwork Orange three grades in a row (9, 10th and 11th" and wrote a report about it. Easy enough.
	11:35am northguineahills: One of my favorite Zombies tracks...
	11:35am annie: a great book neil...did you incorporate any of the words in the glossary?
	♥ 11:35am pantz: This Zombies song is the theme to the newest Serial podcast. Def became an earworm after listening.
	♥ 11:36am Planet Tyler: Thought we were back in STown territory for a sec
	11:37am NH: More creepiness if heard in context of Faulkner's story. Just sayin.
	11:38am Kimzilla: I can't listen to A Rose for Emily without thinking about S Town. Such a good podcast.
	11:39am Will: America runs on Duncan (Browne). At least in my house!
	11:39am Wild Neil: @Annie: oh, that was a major feature of the report about Russian words (Russian subversion of British society) and how it was hip to be an up and coming Soviet tool of violence. I TRIED to read more Burgess but he was just too strange and boring for me.
	11:42am melinda: Always liked this part of Bookends.
	11:42am Parq: Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly? How terribly strange to be 70.
	11:44am Anonymous Coward: What buzzkill on a semi-decent day. As penance, you need to play dwarven thrashmetal to finish your st!!
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: @AC: Ha ha ha!
	11:45am djsheilab: JOE THIS SET IS FANTASTIC!!!! So gentle + melancholy and perfect for spring. Thank you!
	11:45am Dean: Burgess's Earthly Powers is not to be missed. Strange, yes, but not boring.
	11:47am zopa: Ah Joe, Now you got me thinking of Harry Nilsson.
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: Thanks, Sheila! @zopa: Remind me of the Harry song I need to play!
	11:48am annie: had you tried the enderby series, neil? i gobbled up all burgess i could.. loved his writing.
	♥ 11:48am Michael 98145: whoa, Chad and Jeremy!
	11:48am KP: Glad I never wrote a song expressing regrets about reaching a specific age
	11:48am whattawino: Whoa, I've not heard this Chad & Jeremy song in like....50 years! Great song and set, Joe!
	11:49am Parq: This set is emotional, that's for sure.
	11:50am zopa: Daddy's Song or Good Old Desk
	11:51am davefromtoronto: someone tell a joke...
	11:51am annie: on feeling my age sooner than i iwish, it's very odd to think about how much creakier i can get at this point. and i see senior citizens over 75 or so still ambling on.. bless their hearts.
	♥ 11:52am Michael 98145: ( that is seeming younger all the time .. :)
	11:52am annie: Parq, what's big and red and eats rocks?
	11:52am P-90: I don't think that Burgesses' implication was that the teens thought it was hip to be tools of Soviet violence, rather that Russian (along with Cockney and Gipsy slang) was incorporated into their "Nadsat" dialect, because Russian had replaced French as the second language taught in the grade schools in England, an indication of a progressively Communism-friendly England. But... in light of recent events, seeing as a sign of a direct, disrupting Russian influence is intriguing
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: zopa: I'm going with this one, which kills me. Thanks for the suggestion of Nilsson!
	11:53am zopa: Or this one! ha ha ha
	♥ 11:53am doctorjazz: Always loved this Rest In Peace track, from back in the day...
	11:53am melinda: Nice Nilsson segue.
	11:54am Parq: If anybody needs me, I'll be out refilling my Welbutrin scrip.
	♥ 11:54am Michael 98145: indeed
	♥ 11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Joe and Oxford shoes, shirts, and commas. Fun show this morning.
	11:55am zopa: Harry destroyed his voice on this album...
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Well, thanks for listening, everybody. Kiss your grandmoms if you still got 'em! See you next week....
	11:55am miles: great set
	11:55am annie: thanks for the great show this week, joe..
	♥ 11:56am TonyR: Will there be a DJ break before I slit my wrists? Just askin'....
	11:56am miles: ha @parq
	♥ 11:56am Irene Trudel: Lovely show today Joe! A great start to my week.
	♥ 11:56am Mick: Thanks Joe for the great show (if not the reminder of the relentless passing of time)
	11:58am Greg W: Great set. Glad you didnt decide to play a set about National Mother's Bereavement Day today.
	11:58am P-90: Thanks Joe McG!
	11:58am melinda: Great show!
	11:59am slugluv1313: perfection, Joe! awwww Harry :) @ listener monica -- hiya!!!!! @ annie -- thinking of Ernestine Shepherd, and all those Yoga teachers who are well into their 90s somehow keeps me going & inspired -- even though "Rest in Peace" is just as relatable as it was when i would hear it on the old WNEW-FM decades ago!
	11:59am βrian: "We lost Davey in the Korean war, still don't what for"
	♥ 11:59am Michael 98145: Czech Republic’s Liberation Day: May 8
	3:27pm Mark in Toronto: Joe, please correct Accueplaylist to "1910 Fruitgum Company". You've got 1919!
	2:03pm Joe McG: Whoops! I'll take care of that now, Mark. Thanks for the eagle eye.

	9:53am kimzilla: Been loving this show this morning Joe. Right out of the gate, the winning numbers. Keep em coming!
	9:53am bobdoesthings: it's called 'appropriated'
	♥ 9:58am Joe McG: Hi, kimmy! :)
	10:00am mary: turning up Mekons!!
	10:00am mary: this album one of my faves
	10:01am mary: ever
	10:01am JakeGould: Is that Barbara Manning cover for the 7" the one that is blue and silkscreened?
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: @mary: Why do any other groups bother writing lyrics when the Mekons write the best ones?
	10:02am KP: Well this is lively. Hi, Joe!
	10:03am mary: i dunno
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: @Jake: The copy here is greenish-gray but it is letterpress printed, looks like!
	10:05am JakeGould: @Joe: I had that single back in the day! Then I went digital… (And had to sell it to pay the bills back in the day as well…)
	10:08am thedunkel: British Tupac!
	10:09am listener monica: i wish to express my love for tom greenhalgh here.
	10:11am josh: blimey, don't think i've ever heard arab strap on WFMU. good work, joe!
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: @josh: Hard to play them on the radio, he cusses so much!
	10:12am mary: totally in love w tom greenhalgh
	10:12am josh: Ah yes, good point. IIRC the wonder album Aidan did with Bill Wells (Everything's Getting Older) is a bit lighter on the swears than some of the Arab Strap stuff...
	10:13am josh: wonder album? i meant 'wonderful album', but i guess 'wonder album' works too.
	♥ 10:14am Summer and Michael: When we heard that harmonium whir away directly after that great John Cooper Clarke track, we were sure you were making what Andy Kershaw used to call "the killer segue" into Ivor Cutler, not Arab Strap. Regardless, what an amazing set, Joe. Love! Good morning.
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: S&M: Ah, Ivor would've been a lovely idea! He did cross my mind, but then I forgot! :(
	10:15am P-90: Hi Joe McG and Surface Dwellers. Just checking in to say: You're killin it As usual.
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: Many thanks, P-90! Always like that kind of interjection.
	10:17am mary: beautiful show, all of it
	10:17am βrian: I think Ivor will emerge as a trendy new baby name. Or it ought to.
	10:17am b: This Looper song is exactly what I needed to hear today, thanks so much for playing it.
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: You bet, b.
	10:19am βrian: We haven't heard the Marseillaise yet have we?
	♥ 10:23am pantz: You're really expanding my UK indie Pop portfolio today, Joe. Cheers, mate!
	10:23am annie: workcrew here to install an air unit, headphones promptly applied to head. great show so far joe..!
	10:25am melinda: I just got the Tindersticks collection of Claire Denis film scores, this is included minus the words. One of my favorites. From Nenette et Boni.
	♥ 10:25am Brian in UK: Eyam pronounced 'I'm' is known as the plague village in Derbyshire. In 1665 a tailor in the village was sent some material from London it contained plague. When it was realised and many people died the village cut itself off and food was left on the edge of the village so people could still survive.
	10:25am Listener Alexandra: oh wow...fantastic Tindersticks choice today, Joe!
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Brian: I knew I could count on you for the back story! Hope your house search is going well!
	♥ 10:26am Brian in UK: Here is a link if anyone is interested. www.eyamplaguevillage.co.uk
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: Thanks, Alex!
	♥ 10:28am Brian in UK: Joe, we were up that way last week that is why I missed the show live. Surfs Down Ha ha.
	♥ 10:31am fred: @Brian: that site is weirdly cheerful, turning plague into a tourist attraction takes some... hmm... confidence?
	10:32am βrian: Do they sell press-on bubos for the kids?
	♥ 10:32am Irene Trudel: Loved this last set of Brits and such!
	10:34am P-90: Last set was gorgeous, a revelation
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Most peculiar, mama!
	10:36am melinda: Oh man, I haven't heard this in probably 30 years, too! Love it. Makes me a little sad.
	10:37am Claw!: JOE. PEOPLE.
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: Strange days, indeed! Hey, Claw!
	10:41am KH: Sound track for the #NotMyPresident Trump administration
	10:42am Art: Funny, it's probably my favorite and most-listened-to Lennon song. Good morning, everybody!
	10:42am Roberto: Strange Days ja vu.
	10:42am melinda: Thanks for the 2nd playing! I laughed out loud upon hearing it crank up again.
	10:43am βrian: Hah, I thought that was a pretty long single.
	10:43am annie: great tune!!!
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: I love hearing a song I've totally forgotten about and it coming alive to me again!
	♥ 10:43am Sem Chumbo: Noel used to live about 15 miles from here, on the shores of the mighty Bay of Fundy. Back in the hippy days:-D
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Sem: How cool! Was he a nice hippy? I like his ascots.
	10:45am annie: wow, i'd love to know the backstory to that noel harrison song.
	10:45am MFOOZ: I haven't heard that Lennon track for 30 years myself! Very timely. Decent little ditty for what was essentially a throw-away from Double Fantasy. Thanks for playing it twice!
	10:46am Bronwyn Bishop: whatever this is I LOVE IT
	10:48am Dennis Diken: that John L record was unfinished, no? the lyrics are not the final draft, I believe? diggin' the show Joe!
	♥ 10:48am Sem Chumbo: Yeah, a good guy I hear. When his house nearly burned down, he thanked the Mount Hanley Volunteer Fire Department for saving it by writing a song about them and the fire.. Natch, it got heavy rotation on local AM radio.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: Oh, look, here's Noel singing that song on TV: www.youtube.com...
	10:49am Bronwyn Bishop: someone should've persuaded the persuaders to use commas correctly
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Dennis: I love them, I think they're just as good as if he'd slaved over them. Hey everybody, come see Dennis play this Friday at Montgomery Hall!
	10:50am Bronwyn Bishop: unless they're saying "bad, bold and beautiful" to the girl, i guess
	10:51am Dean: They just dropped the Oxford comma, right? Right, @Bronwyn, they're addressing the girl.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @Bronwyn and Dean: I'm glad we solved that mystery!
	♥ 10:52am fred: @Bronwyn: isn't that on your calling card?
	10:52am melinda: I thought Nobody Told Me was on Milk and Honey.
	10:52am Bronwyn Bishop: another grammar dilemma solved by the top team on the comments board! yep fred, it says so right there in big letters
	10:53am Dean: The philological hermeneutics of pop song titles.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @melinda: Pretty sure it is!
	10:53am JtotheK: Sade, awesome!!!
	10:54am slugluv1313: ooooooo Sade!!!!! thank you Joe!
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: Does anyone know what Sade's up to now? Would she marry me?
	10:55am listener monica: @slugluv hiya!
	10:55am Dean: You're a smooth operator there, @Joe McG.
	♥ 10:56am fred: I haven't hear about her in years. She should
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Dean: Living the diamond life.
	10:57am JakeGould: Just logging in for real to say that the lack of an Oxford comma on “Bad, Bold and Beautiful, Girl” genuinely disconcerts me. And I am the first one to ditch Oxford commas.
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @JakeG: NEVER ditch an Oxford comma! :)
	10:59am Bronwyn Bishop: i love oxford commas bc when i was in 2nd grade, the famous author james mcbride, who was the father of one of my lil friends, came in to teach us writing and he told us to always use oxford commas. so i always do.
	10:59am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: Sorry, it’s “Dewet, Cheatum & Howe” in my book.
	10:59am Parq: I was commuting, so the last thing I heard was the Lennon 45. "Nobody told me there'd be days like these -- strange days indeed." I've been saying that for 35 years now.
	10:59am Dennis Diken: thanks for the plug Joe! yeah, our Lovin' Spoonful trib show is a gas! this friday 5/12 at Monty Hall!
	11:00am Parq: And Joe, Sade wishes she could marry you.
	11:01am JakeGould: When I was in second grade I wrote a book report on Roberto Clemente by simply copy the book flap copy verbatim from the book. I got a commendation card from the principal and praise from my teacher. I learned on that day that school is a lie.
	11:02am Dean: I think Jake's on to something when it comes to ampersands. They effectively punctuate a series, combining both the comma and the conjunction.
	11:02am Bronwyn Bishop: hahaha jake thats amazing
	11:02am βrian: But you didn't marry your teacher, did you?
	11:04am βrian: We're all &ed up.
	11:04am Bronwyn Bishop: i believe it was the same year as the james mcbride when i did a book report on the 1st harry potter book, and my plot summary was primarily a list of all the foods at the great hall feast in one of the chapters. also, the year before, in 1st grade, i did a report on animal farm, which i read thinking it was a straightforward animal story. my teacher laughed her head off at me.
	11:04am Bronwyn Bishop: wildwood flower! my dad always used to play this. he learned it from his dad, bc we are a bunch of west virginia hillbillies
	11:05am JakeGould: @Brian: No I didn’t. A few years later—in 4th grade—I suddenly got tagged as a “troublesome” kid when a teacher asked me to run an errand to the teachers lounge and put her styrofoam cup back. I went in, had no idea how electric stoves work and just put the styrofoam cup on the electric stove. It caught on fire and I got blamed. Suddenly I became a “bad” student because I improperly placed a styrofoam cup on a stovetop. NYC Board of Education is garbage.
	11:06am Bronwyn Bishop: aw thats terrible :(
	♥ 11:06am fred: @βrian: if he did, he might have been a French president
	11:08am βrian: If I had known that was an option when I was in High School ...
	11:09am temp comment bunny: http://www.mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=2957
	11:12am JakeGould: @BronwynBishop: Nah! Don’t worry. Problems got solved by the time I was in 6th grade and my much older brother basically did my science fair project for me and I “won” the science fair… Man, did I look forward to going to 7th grade and JHS!
	11:15am Claw!: RIGBY
	11:16am Listener Alexandra: Can you play Eleanor Rigby covers straight through to Joe Belock? Please????
	11:17am annie: i think the only original report i wrote was in 8th grade with a book review of "The Yearling"; all others were carefully clipped pieces from the books i had to read on the subject matter. many times i even added a mis-spelled word or wrongly worded sentence to throw the teacher off. i always wondered if they checked the bibliographies i compiled to see how much was copied.
	11:17am Claw!: I'm with Alexandra on that request
	11:17am JakeGould: Didn’t Joe—or someone else on WFMU—do an all Elanor Rigby show once?
	11:17am βrian: Ah, Mr Prine.
	♥ 11:18am pantz: Love this John Prine track. Always makes me misty eyed.
	♥ 11:18am fred: It is happening again
	11:18am Claw!: Yes it was Joe
	♥ 11:18am Sem Chumbo: Fess up, Joe.
	11:18am Claw!: and it was AMAZING
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @Jake: I'm guilty of that, Jake. It was my Halloween Special.
	11:18am adrian in mpls: Yay! John Prine!
	11:19am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: You have good taste!
	♥ 11:19am JP from KC: Ah, No better way to start a Monday than with John Prine and Joe McG!
	11:19am JakeGould: All Eleanor Rigby show right here! wfmu.org...
	11:20am Parq: No [sniff], that's just something in my eye.
	11:20am Dean: Now, that's where I draw the line. "Me and Loretta..." Excuse me, but the first person pronoun should be subjective.
	♥ 11:21am Planet Tyler: It's just a piece of dust..
	11:21am βrian: My mom was a teacher and would've impaled me on a pike had I copied material for assignments. I couldn't take that risk.
	♥ 11:24am Brian in UK: Did I see someone trying to separate their clauses.
	11:24am JakeGould: @βrian: Imma shut up now, but in H.S. I did work for others for $$$… So I made it work for me!
	11:25am annie: my dad was a hard-nosed teacher, i'm grateful he never read my homework assignments. ...only because i made sure to do my homework in study hall. his perfectionism was brutal.
	♥ 11:25am Brian in UK: I before e except after c is such a load of bull.
	11:25am Davis: i really like this old people set
	11:26am JakeGould: Joe, play more old people.
	11:26am NH: I like it, too, but it's a little unnerving!
	11:26am Bronwyn Bishop: LEE!
	11:27am Bronwyn Bishop: a family friend recently gave me cds of every single album ever released on lee hazlewood industries!!!
	11:29am annie: joy of joys, bronwyn!
	♥ 11:31am JP from KC: My parents were both teachers, and Would never stand for plagiarism of any sort. However, my brother is two years older than I am, and on more than one occasion, I resubmitted his assignments to a couple of the "flightier" teachers we both had. They never noticed.
	11:31am djsheilab: Hey Joe! Have been listening for the last hour. That Lee Hazelwood track was seriously great! And thank you for playing Honeybeat :)
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: @SheilaB: Looks like I'm not the only one! Heavy airplay here at WFMU! ;) Hope you're feeling better, dear Sheila!
	11:33am Wild Neil: PEACE all. I just read A Clockwork Orange three grades in a row (9, 10th and 11th" and wrote a report about it. Easy enough.
	11:35am northguineahills: One of my favorite Zombies tracks...
	11:35am annie: a great book neil...did you incorporate any of the words in the glossary?
	♥ 11:35am pantz: This Zombies song is the theme to the newest Serial podcast. Def became an earworm after listening.
	♥ 11:36am Planet Tyler: Thought we were back in STown territory for a sec
	11:37am NH: More creepiness if heard in context of Faulkner's story. Just sayin.
	11:38am Kimzilla: I can't listen to A Rose for Emily without thinking about S Town. Such a good podcast.
	11:39am Will: America runs on Duncan (Browne). At least in my house!
	11:39am Wild Neil: @Annie: oh, that was a major feature of the report about Russian words (Russian subversion of British society) and how it was hip to be an up and coming Soviet tool of violence. I TRIED to read more Burgess but he was just too strange and boring for me.
	11:42am melinda: Always liked this part of Bookends.
	11:42am Parq: Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly? How terribly strange to be 70.
	11:44am Anonymous Coward: What buzzkill on a semi-decent day. As penance, you need to play dwarven thrashmetal to finish your st!!
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: @AC: Ha ha ha!
	11:45am djsheilab: JOE THIS SET IS FANTASTIC!!!! So gentle + melancholy and perfect for spring. Thank you!
	11:45am Dean: Burgess's Earthly Powers is not to be missed. Strange, yes, but not boring.
	11:47am zopa: Ah Joe, Now you got me thinking of Harry Nilsson.
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: Thanks, Sheila! @zopa: Remind me of the Harry song I need to play!
	11:48am annie: had you tried the enderby series, neil? i gobbled up all burgess i could.. loved his writing.
	♥ 11:48am Michael 98145: whoa, Chad and Jeremy!

	♥ 11:52am Michael 98145: ( that is seeming younger all the time .. :)
	11:52am annie: Parq, what's big and red and eats rocks?
	11:52am P-90: I don't think that Burgesses' implication was that the teens thought it was hip to be tools of Soviet violence, rather that Russian (along with Cockney and Gipsy slang) was incorporated into their "Nadsat" dialect, because Russian had replaced French as the second language taught in the grade schools in England, an indication of a progressively Communism-friendly England. But... in light of recent events, seeing as a sign of a direct, disrupting Russian influence is intriguing
