	9:16am Davee: I think Joe is breaking a sweat this morning trying to keep those 45's spinning!!!
	9:16am dale: i hate to admit i bought this flirts album when it came out.
	9:16am Morgan: Wow the Flirts. This might have been the first music video I remember. On UHF tv
	👻 9:16am Threemoons: Bowie maybe purty please before I head out the door?
	9:17am melinda: I'd totally forgotten about Jukebox, what a great song.
	9:17am Lewis: is that song A11?
	9:17am Joe McG: @Threemoons: Sorry, I only brought about 70 45s and that's all I've got!
	9:18am dale: i hope SOMEONE plays 'let's all chant' this week.
	9:18am melinda: @dale it's ok.
	9:20am dale: melinda - i think it's only been played once so it's pretty much mint with a touch of cover wear from moving several times.
	9:20am medson: Wow Joe McG. Taking me back to freshman year of HS on the last two
	9:20am Krys O.: @Morgan--U68? That was the best channel.
	9:20am Morgan: Joe is a plate spinner for the pledge experience too. He’s nothing but super helpful—very much appreciated
	9:20am medson: one I meant. the flirts
	9:21am Sem Chumbo: Hello, Joe, and McGaskoes. There's a party going on!
	👻 9:21am Brian in UK: Joe, make sure you have some Diclofenac to protect from back pains from carrying heavy weights.
	9:21am Morgan: @Krys YES
	👻 9:21am Threemoons: Joe McG: No worries, this set is still super! Please just NEVER change the YipYip opener! So many childhood memories...I can see the terrycloth aliens in front of me now...yipyipyipyipyip.....
	9:22am Krys O.: Aw, you got me missing my Honey Cone compilation.
	9:23am dale: honey comb cereal did a comp? i have bobby sherman flexidisc from that or sugar crisp somewhere.
	9:24am annie: we had them dale!!
	9:24am dale: i think it's 'easy come easy go'
	9:25am pantz: Whoa! That's an Apache bongos opener, if ever there was one.
	9:31am Lewis: I think that it was Matt Fiveash that did and A-side / B-side show. And he Flipped on the fly between the A and B sides. my mind was blown...
	9:31am dale: ooooh. honey COOOOone.
	👻 9:31am Brian in UK: Very strange light over here. The sun looks like it is an eclipse probably due to the imminent hurricane.
	9:31am Krys O.: @dale--The Hone Cone group: One Monkey Don't Stop No Show, Stick-up, etc.
	9:33am Mikey_B: Great start to the week.
	9:34am Lewis: @Brian in the UK - cool - took a minute to realize you are looking westerly at this time of day...
	9:36am dale: yesterday on decades i caught an episode of the claude akins/trucker show movin' on and forgot how that theme song was a big hit for merle haggard.
	9:36am Gordon FM: OK, this is ungooglable! What is Joseph?
	9:37am steveo: Hi Joe! Happy to be here.
	9:38am Joe McG: @Gordon: Don't know anything about him, but it's on Project 3, written by "J. Millar."
	9:39am Brendan: Morning Joe and folks. Steady as she goes.
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: It is very windy and looks like something is about to happen. luckily for us most of the action will be over Ireland and Scotland but as you well know the fallout spreads.
	👻 9:40am Brian in UK: Kings of Convenience were toilet manufacturers?
	9:42am dale: HA HA ha .....t.m.
	9:43am dale: the singing really puts you in a meditative state.
	9:43am Joe McG: Breathe deeply.
	👻 9:43am Brian in UK: World Pacific, makes sense. That would make a great show of their output.
	9:43am Krys O.: Joseph Millar is a poet according to Wiki: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:43am Passaic River Blues: This sounds like the Von Trapps went psychedelic...love it.
	9:44am dale: it's like donovan's tour bus crashed into enoch light's
	9:44am Gordon FM: Thanks Joe! Reminds me of Procol Harum a bit. Also, my initial thought was "Oh, Beck was on a steady diet of this and lightfoot when he wrote Sea Change." But enough about Beck. :)
	9:45am annie: this [pop-up keeps crapping out!!! arrcggghhh!!
	9:45am Dominick: TM can emancipate the man and get you feeling grand
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: I don't hear a single (T.Petty)
	9:48am Krys O.: Ooh, there's another Joseph 45 on Discogs! www.discogs.com...
	9:49am Gordon FM: @Krys YIKES! Big money!
	9:50am Passaic River Blues: Nice sleuthing, Krys!
	9:50am Joe McG: @Krys: Need to get that one! Only 5 bills! ;)
	9:50am steveo: boy does my tennessee step-family love this song
	9:50am steveo: (i like it also, but have lost objectivity)
	9:50am Asheville Jon: i was in Rocky Top last week.
	9:50am Gordon FM: www.45cat.com... that's all I could find :(
	9:51am pantz: @steveo Go to a single TN football game and you'll get tired of this song, right quick.
	9:51am Brendan: Joe - Osborne Bros! Yay!!!!
	9:51am zopa: Hey Joe, I made a mistake in my pledge. I emailed you.
	9:51am Joe McG: @zopa: I'll check it out and make it right after the show!
	9:52am zopa: Thanks Joe!
	9:52am Joe McG: BTW, I hope I've just done the only Osborne Bros. to Parliament segue in the history of radio.
	9:52am steveo: @pantz could happen someday; not currently scheduled :)
	👻 9:52am Brian in UK: Joe, is this an eighteen inch single?
	9:53am steveo: lol @9:52
	9:53am Davee: Ack, I'm buffering!
	9:53am steveo: (@joe)
	9:53am dale: interesting that i said enoch light and mister joseph was produced by same.
	9:54am Krys O.: @Joe McG---I'd bet it's on UbuWeb.
	9:55am JtotheK: re: 9:52 Joe -- I also chuckled at this segue. Nice one, Joe! Excellent start to singles going steady. hi everyone.
	9:55am miles: yes u DID joe- I was just about to ask how u went from bluegrass to funk
	9:55am steveo: fitting that joe kicks off singles week, eh?
	9:57am Joe McG: @Krys: Probably! You think it's really the same guy? His little known recording career!
	9:58am Wild Neil: PEACE All. Maybe play Abba "Watch Out" from Waterloo? Its a pretty rowdy song actually.
	9:59am miles: sweet as soda pop
	10:00am MD: Yo Yo.....Ma! Hello All!
	10:00am Krys O.: I wouldn't doubt it. This is from his website: Millar grew up in Pennsylvania and attended Johns Hopkins University before spending 30 years in the San Francisco Bay area working at a variety of jobs, from telephone repairman to commercial fisherman. It would be two decades before he returned to poetry. His work—stark, clean, unsparing—records the narrative of a life fully lived among fathers, sons, brothers, daughters, weddings and divorce.
	👻 10:00am Brian in UK: This what the sun looks like now. www.bbc.co.uk...
	10:00am MD: PS...NOT requesting Yoyo Ma...lol!
	10:04am steveo: Digital Display Ready For The World Peaked at #21 on 2.22.1986
	10:06am frozen_peas: Thanks, steveo!
	10:06am queems: i also like whitest boy alive aka funky kings of convenience
	10:07am Joe McG: Ha ha ha! Rats, Stereolab is at 33 1/3. Am I disqualified?
	10:07am steveo: that was just mean, Sub Pop
	10:07am Stevel: Dunno. Sounded OK fast.
	10:08am miles: oopie doopie
	10:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, swinging singles!
	10:08am steveo: it sounds so slow now ;)
	10:09am BronwynB: helloooo joe and everyone!
	10:09am FernandoBelmondo: I like that WFMU djs never quit playing Stereolab.
	10:09am zopa: oscilator
	10:09am BronwynB: @queems: i'm amused by the idea of funky kings of convenience. is that even possible?
	10:09am northguineahills: A nice classic Lab classic!
	10:11am zopa: Hey Joe, what is the percentage of b-sides in today's show?
	10:11am dale: found some info on jeff hest - no contact info otherwise i would shoot him an email and just ask him who joseph was. www.alfredpub.com...
	👻 10:11am queems: @BronwynB it is pretty much exactly what you would imagine it would be like
	10:12am steveo: did you bring pac man fever?
	👻 10:12am queems: i remember reading a review somewhere that was like "it is so unfunky that it comes around to funky again"
	10:13am Stevel: Right on!
	10:14am Parq: Yeah, I like it better this way.
	10:14am Passaic River Blues: This is great!
	10:14am steveo: peppy
	10:14am dale: that starts out like frankie's got a gun
	👻 10:14am queems: oh shit this sounds good
	10:14am Joe McG: @zopa: Hmm, maybe half? @steveo: Ha ha ha! I almost did bring the Today's Sounds version (Derrick Bostrom side project). But I didn't!
	10:14am coelacanth∅: no!
	10:15am Fernando P: 45rpm is always the right speed
	10:15am Guido from Cologne: I go for 78 rpm
	10:15am Gordon FM: A friend I have in common with Joseph Millar doubts this theory, unfortunately. Just asked. Hmmmm. It could have been a secret though!
	10:15am Guido from Cologne: more songs per show
	10:16am steveo: i don't know that one, Joe .. someday you'll play it, perhaps
	👻 10:16am Brian in UK: @zopa what to two decimal places.
	10:16am Moscow: Yes
	10:17am Eric Hat: Sounds like it’s gonna be Suicide at first
	10:17am Wild Neil: @Fernando-yeah, but I think they stopped playing Velvet Crush in 1994.
	10:17am Stevel: Eric: That was my first thought.
	10:17am coelacanth: Eric that's what i thought
	10:17am zopa: @brian precision over accuracy
	10:18am coelacanth∅: i can't get these glitches out. i may have to not listen. [sigh]
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: Written, recorded in one day. If only all pop stars kept to that principle.
	👻 10:19am doctorjazz: I guess today we'll have Singles Getting Engaged...
	10:19am Wild Neil: @Velvet Crush: nope , I was wrong. They never stopped playing Velvet Crush.
	10:20am Sem Chumbo: Pretty, pretty, pretty fine cover. Thanks, Joe.
	10:21am Wild Neil: I spent 30 minutes trying to pull start my weed wacker and lost skin off the inside of my middle finger. It hurts like hell. Between middle finger and ring finger. Bad place for a band aid with all the bending involved. Gotta get out the carb cleaner and maybe soak the muffler in gasoline or blow it out.
	10:21am Krys O.: Yeah, Todd!
	10:21am Listener Robert: That last one went from intriguing to annoying. The sort of thing I used to turn WFMU on for to produce irritainment for those around me.
	10:21am Wild Neil: Finally got it started. What a bitch.
	10:21am zopa: Whee! Utopia!
	10:23am Listener Robert: Neil, better use your other hand to clean the carb. Solvents on an injury like that would hurt awfully. Heal up soon.
	👻 10:23am Brian in UK: @Wild Neil have you considered a scythe?
	👻 10:25am Hughie Considine: What a sublime single from the Verlaines. Bird Dog is my favorite LP. They make direness sound so attractive.
	10:25am coelacanth∅: ahh. rebooted; no glitches. (i picked a good time too - and back in time for verlaines!)
	10:26am Wild Neil: @Brian: I think a scythe would be faster on open grass (I saw the Russian video too) but there are a lot of tight spaces AND you cannot edge a driveway with a scythe like you can with a string trimmer/weed whacker. @ Robert-oh yeah!
	10:26am Greg from ZONE 5: YYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!! (Wedding Present makes me happy)
	10:27am herb.nyc: good morning. i bought a used IN LOVE WITH THESE TIMES book, by flying nuns' roger shepherd. i'll skim thru it for goodies (then give to a friend).
	10:27am Krys O.: @Joe McG: Three O'Clock in the AM is on YouTube: youtu.be...
	10:28am coelacanth∅: i've used a scythe on 20'X30' lots, but yeah you might do some damage trying to trim around the flowers and buildings...
	10:29am Stevel: Deep X-Ray Spex cut!
	10:29am dale: wild neil. like dylan i went electric. i have an echo which is great but LOUD. got a dewalt bare tool as i have the batteries. much saner.
	10:30am coelacanth∅: wow never heard this. i always thought they just had the one album and the one non-album single.
	10:31am coelacanth∅: (bondage up yours, that is)
	10:31am Mike Sin: It's a three-hour "single file" -- so great!
	10:31am Joe McG: OK, I need some advice. I'm just about to complete my A to Z set (see what I've been up to?). Should I start over at A or go backwards from Z for the next round?
	10:32am coelacanth∅: i wear earplugs for 3 out of 4 outside tools. (echo line trimmer as well)
	👻 10:32am queems: go into numbers
	10:32am pantz: Zed to A
	10:32am dale: joe - just play elenor rigby for the rest of the show.
	10:33am coelacanth∅: start with z; play them all backward.
	10:33am Seanbelly: Hi Joe, what was the ballad you were playing earlier with female vocalist and a singing saw?
	10:34am herb.nyc: start with a, maybe AZtec camera. see what i did there? for i did NOT see what you did, joe.
	10:34am coelacanth∅: (sorry. i'm no help)
	10:34am zopa: chronological
	10:34am Joe McG: @Seanbelly: That was Noahlewis' Mahlon Taits from Japan.
	10:35am coelacanth∅: okay well you could play the other side of each record...
	10:35am Krys O.: Ooh, The Zombies are making me dance in my office chair!
	10:35am Joe McG: OK, two votes for Z to A, one for A to Z, one for Eleanor Rigby. Hmm!
	10:35am steveo: that is nifty; i wish I had been paying better attention. i vote for z to a; you might make it if you don't play any 33s :)
	10:35am herb.nyc: i was fortunate to be my friend's +1 for the Zombies recent town hall show, the original members. terrific show; i met michael shelley afterwards.
	👻 10:37am queems: i vote a-z again
	10:37am Davee: Oh no, it's 10:30; what is he going to play 33's???
	👻 10:37am Ken From Hyde Park: Can I vote for numbers? 1 2 3 ... ? If not, then A-Z.
	10:38am dale: i sent producer/teacher jeff hest a message through linkedin asking about the identity of JOSEPH....maybe we'll hear back.
	10:38am coelacanth∅: i've done the alphabet before...never mind.
	10:38am rw: Z-A. More symmetrical that way.
	10:38am Krys O.: Can you do a numerical sequence playlist?
	10:38am Seanbelly: Thanks Joe!
	10:39am frenchee: just about the only good thing about Monday: Joe M. followed by Joe B! so I guess that is two good things, plus SINGLES GOING STEADY
	10:40am steveo: @krys remember this one? wfmu.org...
	10:40am KP: There's an A-side, a B-side and in NYC, an Alt-side.
	10:42am medson: swag for life is definetly an easier way for me to donate.
	👻 10:42am queems: i'm so psyched for my turtle shirt to come
	10:44am Wild Neil: OH! A-Z! NOW I get it. Duh!
	10:44am annie: for those of you who balk at the SfL donation, this is my testimony: i am retired on a very limited income. i am a SfL member and feel it's worth the while to kick in a hunk of my money to this station. i enjoy it and love being a part of this family.. .. so i drink a little less wine and gin... fair trade, yo!
	10:44am coelacanth∅: this woofmoo is different than either of the previous ones though. - i don't know why they don't have the woofmoo t in a variety of colors available in the wfmu store.
	10:45am pantz: It's turtles all the way down
	10:45am Greg from ZONE 5: YES. Joe inna his khaki suit and ting.
	10:46am coelacanth∅: sayn'.
	10:46am Listener Alexandra: You're the best, Joe :-) And I'm getting your Spring premium again because I donated the original to a hipster mecca here in town. Another great reason to pledge to Surface Noise!
	10:47am Claw!: holy crap. I'm just in time. Joe! Play Rigby next! for the culture.
	10:47am Claw!: also - hi, everybody!
	10:47am Lixiviated Life: Last time I heard that song on the air I was listening to WNYU's New Afternoon Show back in the last century. Ahhh those College Radio Days.
	10:48am Joe McG: @Alex: That's so cool! Yes, as Alex mentioned, pledging in the fall allows you to pick up any spring premiums you may have missed, including mine. :)
	10:48am Gordon FM: @Krys @joe McG - my contact is now taking his hunch back after seeing his name on the 45 on YT! I just sent a message to Joseph Millar directly. The saga continues...
	10:48am Lixiviated Life: are strictly rooooots
	10:49am Listener Alexandra: Your last premium is worth owning twice, Joe!
	10:49am zopa: I have no doubt that Joe can continue the reggae vibe through the rest of the alphabet... if he wanted.
	10:50am annie: hey, any of you folks know of decent housing in albany area... 6 months or so for my kid, his girl, and their 2 dogs?? they are very responsible and contientious..they're leaving LA for the right coast..
	10:50am Little Danny: Mornin' Joe, all
	10:50am Lixiviated Life: now if you play Black Uhuru, the planets will converge and a time warp open
	10:51am Lixiviated Life: or Big Youth, that might work too
	10:51am coelacanth∅: c. culture
	10:51am Lixiviated Life: Capleton next?
	10:52am coelacanth∅: ...or, chairman of the board.
	10:53am zopa: @annie I used to live in Menands, just outside Albany, in a place called Park Hill. Don't know if they do 6 month leases, but I liked living there.
	👻 10:53am doctorjazz: The pledge page doesn't list prices for any of the swag, only Swag For Life amounts. I'd kick in a contribution (already SFL) for the fall, curious what swag I could get...
	10:53am Krys O.: @Gordon FM: Thanks! Inquiring minds want to know.
	10:53am coelacanth∅: ("chairMEN...")
	10:53am Lixiviated Life: ok... it was fun while it lasted
	👻 10:54am queems: @doctorjazz there is a button that you have to switch it to for it to show the one time donation prices
	10:55am Joe McG: @Gordon: Let me know what happens! @Little Danny: Speaking of great premiums, great premium this year, sir! @doctorJazz: I can help you out after the show if you need help.
	10:55am Krys O.: @steveo: Cool!
	10:56am Cheri Pi: Coming out of hiding to say JOEJOEJOE!
	10:56am Davee: IT IS ALWAYS A BUTTON
	10:57am Joe McG: Hey CP! :)
	10:57am V Priceless: neat neat neat joe joe joe! woo!
	10:57am Cheri Pi: Great show my son!!
	10:57am dr. jim: NeatNeatNeat, indeed!
	10:58am coelacanth∅: "i noh steal nottin; no even a button"
	10:58am Little Danny: Ah, man, thanks Joe!
	10:59am coelacanth∅: i'm ready for this
	11:00am annie: thanks Zopa, i'll pass the word at 'em.
	11:00am herb.nyc: last night, i played my WFMU dvd of bands performing at monty hall. but i didn't reach the end, where the EX are. lotsa good stuff on the vid, like DIRTY FENCES and CAMBODIAN band.
	11:03am pantz: How did they fit that title on a 45?
	👻 11:03am doctorjazz: Duh...I saw the button that changes the page to 1 time contributions, but didn't look down to notice that the pledge amounts changed for the 1 time pledge after the button is clicked...
	11:04am Joe McG: @pantz: Small print! They were trying to break the Guinness record for longest song title. I think they did for a bit.
	11:04am Mister Dobalina: Tight set of tracks, Joe. A++++
	11:05am coelacanth∅: Belinda Carlisle must have been young for this one...and a boy...
	11:05am medson: Thanks for working so hard today Joe. Singles going Sweaty
	11:07am Joe McG: Thanks for tuning in, medson! @Mr.Dobalina: Thank you, sir!
	👻 11:08am Brian in UK: @medson is your middle name Zelig?
	👻 11:10am Ken From Hyde Park: As if you don't have enough to do already, Joe, I must call you some time this week to update my credit card info. New expiration date and whatnot. With all the security issues these days, I don't want to email such information.
	11:10am jmd: Cant' hear this without thinking of De La Soul, too.
	11:11am JtotheK: Instant Funk ... cool! (can't help but think of de la 'roller skating jam named saturday')
	11:11am Joe McG: @Ken: Yes, please do give me a call. If I'm not at my desk, I'll give you a ring back.
	11:12am Little Danny: Loved that Hidden Cost side. There is a similar psych-y soul instro by the Daley Diggers, also on Marmaduke Records.
	11:14am Little Danny: For an alphabetically-driven order, this set has surprising coherence
	11:17am BronwynB: i missed the 60s go gos. what was chicken of the sea about? tuna? a scaredy cat surfer? or just a wet fowl?
	11:18am steveo: they should have written out the year "one thousand, seven-hundred twenty-seven".
	👻 11:19am Brian in UK: My People were Fair etc by Tyranosaurus Rex was a long LP title. Lawd knows why.
	11:19am Gordon FM: @Joe - will do!
	11:21am zopa: Rednex: (A Swedish group) Regretting What I Said to You When You Called Me 11:00 On a Friday Morning to Tell Me that at 1:00 Friday Afternoon You're Gonna Leave Your Office, Go Downstairs, Hail a Cab to Go Out to the Airport to Catch a Plane to Go Skiing in the Alps for Two Weeks, Not that I Wanted to Go With You, I Wasn't Able to Leave Town, I'm Not a Very Good Skier, I Couldn't Expect You to Pay My Way, But After Going Out With You for Three Years I DON'T Like Surprises!! Subtitled: A Musical Apology
	11:21am steveo: how many 45s do you have, anyway? like, more than a thousand?
	11:22am Joe McG: @zopa: Excellent! @steveo: Only about 4500-5000. Other DJs here have warehouses full.
	11:23am Davee: LZ on WFMU? That is different and it's a good song!
	👻 11:23am Brian in UK: This must have come out after Trampled Under Foot as a single.
	11:24am joe mulligan: holy schmokes Joe, that's a lot of rekkids! and just the 45s?
	11:24am steveo: @joe "only"; gotcha :)
	11:24am Joe McG: I like when LZ went out of their musical comfort zone.
	11:24am Lewis: need a clicky star for "grinning at the cognitive dissonance"
	11:24am frenchee: Wow! ZeP rock
	11:25am Davee: The In through the out door was quite good!
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: Did LZ have a comfort zone? Made my ears bleed when I heard them.
	11:25am Listener Alexandra: I seriously just realized you're doing an A-Z finale Joe...time for that second cuppa tea :-)
	11:26am Joe McG: @Alex: It only makes sense if you're really looking at the playlist, but it's an organizing principle for the show. It's nice to put limits on yourself.
	11:27am Lewis: did Bio Ritmo put out any singles? (chiming in from left field...)

	9:25am pantz: Whoa! That's an Apache bongos opener, if ever there was one.

	9:31am dale: ooooh. honey COOOOone.

	9:43am Krys O.: Joseph Millar is a poet according to Wiki: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:43am Passaic River Blues: This sounds like the Von Trapps went psychedelic...love it.
	9:44am dale: it's like donovan's tour bus crashed into enoch light's
	9:44am Gordon FM: Thanks Joe! Reminds me of Procol Harum a bit. Also, my initial thought was "Oh, Beck was on a steady diet of this and lightfoot when he wrote Sea Change." But enough about Beck. :)

	9:55am JtotheK: re: 9:52 Joe -- I also chuckled at this segue. Nice one, Joe! Excellent start to singles going steady. hi everyone.
	9:55am miles: yes u DID joe- I was just about to ask how u went from bluegrass to funk
	9:55am steveo: fitting that joe kicks off singles week, eh?
	9:57am Joe McG: @Krys: Probably! You think it's really the same guy? His little known recording career!
	9:58am Wild Neil: PEACE All. Maybe play Abba "Watch Out" from Waterloo? Its a pretty rowdy song actually.
	9:59am miles: sweet as soda pop
	10:00am MD: Yo Yo.....Ma! Hello All!
	10:00am Krys O.: I wouldn't doubt it. This is from his website: Millar grew up in Pennsylvania and attended Johns Hopkins University before spending 30 years in the San Francisco Bay area working at a variety of jobs, from telephone repairman to commercial fisherman. It would be two decades before he returned to poetry. His work—stark, clean, unsparing—records the narrative of a life fully lived among fathers, sons, brothers, daughters, weddings and divorce.
	👻 10:00am Brian in UK: This what the sun looks like now. www.bbc.co.uk...

	10:08am miles: oopie doopie
	10:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, swinging singles!
	10:08am steveo: it sounds so slow now ;)
	10:09am BronwynB: helloooo joe and everyone!
	10:09am FernandoBelmondo: I like that WFMU djs never quit playing Stereolab.
	10:09am zopa: oscilator
	10:09am BronwynB: @queems: i'm amused by the idea of funky kings of convenience. is that even possible?
	10:09am northguineahills: A nice classic Lab classic!
	10:11am zopa: Hey Joe, what is the percentage of b-sides in today's show?

	10:15am Fernando P: 45rpm is always the right speed
	10:15am Guido from Cologne: I go for 78 rpm
	10:15am Gordon FM: A friend I have in common with Joseph Millar doubts this theory, unfortunately. Just asked. Hmmmm. It could have been a secret though!
	10:15am Guido from Cologne: more songs per show
	10:16am steveo: i don't know that one, Joe .. someday you'll play it, perhaps
	👻 10:16am Brian in UK: @zopa what to two decimal places.

	10:18am coelacanth∅: i can't get these glitches out. i may have to not listen. [sigh]
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: Written, recorded in one day. If only all pop stars kept to that principle.
	👻 10:19am doctorjazz: I guess today we'll have Singles Getting Engaged...
	10:19am Wild Neil: @Velvet Crush: nope , I was wrong. They never stopped playing Velvet Crush.
	10:20am Sem Chumbo: Pretty, pretty, pretty fine cover. Thanks, Joe.
	10:21am Wild Neil: I spent 30 minutes trying to pull start my weed wacker and lost skin off the inside of my middle finger. It hurts like hell. Between middle finger and ring finger. Bad place for a band aid with all the bending involved. Gotta get out the carb cleaner and maybe soak the muffler in gasoline or blow it out.
	10:21am Krys O.: Yeah, Todd!
	10:21am Listener Robert: That last one went from intriguing to annoying. The sort of thing I used to turn WFMU on for to produce irritainment for those around me.
	10:21am Wild Neil: Finally got it started. What a bitch.
	10:21am zopa: Whee! Utopia!
	10:23am Listener Robert: Neil, better use your other hand to clean the carb. Solvents on an injury like that would hurt awfully. Heal up soon.
	👻 10:23am Brian in UK: @Wild Neil have you considered a scythe?
	👻 10:25am Hughie Considine: What a sublime single from the Verlaines. Bird Dog is my favorite LP. They make direness sound so attractive.
	10:25am coelacanth∅: ahh. rebooted; no glitches. (i picked a good time too - and back in time for verlaines!)
	10:26am Wild Neil: @Brian: I think a scythe would be faster on open grass (I saw the Russian video too) but there are a lot of tight spaces AND you cannot edge a driveway with a scythe like you can with a string trimmer/weed whacker. @ Robert-oh yeah!
	10:26am Greg from ZONE 5: YYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!! (Wedding Present makes me happy)
	10:27am herb.nyc: good morning. i bought a used IN LOVE WITH THESE TIMES book, by flying nuns' roger shepherd. i'll skim thru it for goodies (then give to a friend).
	10:27am Krys O.: @Joe McG: Three O'Clock in the AM is on YouTube: youtu.be...
	10:28am coelacanth∅: i've used a scythe on 20'X30' lots, but yeah you might do some damage trying to trim around the flowers and buildings...
	10:29am Stevel: Deep X-Ray Spex cut!
	10:29am dale: wild neil. like dylan i went electric. i have an echo which is great but LOUD. got a dewalt bare tool as i have the batteries. much saner.
	10:30am coelacanth∅: wow never heard this. i always thought they just had the one album and the one non-album single.
	10:31am coelacanth∅: (bondage up yours, that is)
	10:31am Mike Sin: It's a three-hour "single file" -- so great!
	10:31am Joe McG: OK, I need some advice. I'm just about to complete my A to Z set (see what I've been up to?). Should I start over at A or go backwards from Z for the next round?
	10:32am coelacanth∅: i wear earplugs for 3 out of 4 outside tools. (echo line trimmer as well)
	👻 10:32am queems: go into numbers
	10:32am pantz: Zed to A
	10:32am dale: joe - just play elenor rigby for the rest of the show.
	10:33am coelacanth∅: start with z; play them all backward.
	10:33am Seanbelly: Hi Joe, what was the ballad you were playing earlier with female vocalist and a singing saw?
	10:34am herb.nyc: start with a, maybe AZtec camera. see what i did there? for i did NOT see what you did, joe.
	10:34am coelacanth∅: (sorry. i'm no help)
	10:34am zopa: chronological
	10:34am Joe McG: @Seanbelly: That was Noahlewis' Mahlon Taits from Japan.
	10:35am coelacanth∅: okay well you could play the other side of each record...
	10:35am Krys O.: Ooh, The Zombies are making me dance in my office chair!
	10:35am Joe McG: OK, two votes for Z to A, one for A to Z, one for Eleanor Rigby. Hmm!
	10:35am steveo: that is nifty; i wish I had been paying better attention. i vote for z to a; you might make it if you don't play any 33s :)
	10:35am herb.nyc: i was fortunate to be my friend's +1 for the Zombies recent town hall show, the original members. terrific show; i met michael shelley afterwards.
	👻 10:37am queems: i vote a-z again
	10:37am Davee: Oh no, it's 10:30; what is he going to play 33's???
	👻 10:37am Ken From Hyde Park: Can I vote for numbers? 1 2 3 ... ? If not, then A-Z.
	10:38am dale: i sent producer/teacher jeff hest a message through linkedin asking about the identity of JOSEPH....maybe we'll hear back.
	10:38am coelacanth∅: i've done the alphabet before...never mind.
	10:38am rw: Z-A. More symmetrical that way.
	10:38am Krys O.: Can you do a numerical sequence playlist?
	10:38am Seanbelly: Thanks Joe!
	10:39am frenchee: just about the only good thing about Monday: Joe M. followed by Joe B! so I guess that is two good things, plus SINGLES GOING STEADY
	10:40am steveo: @krys remember this one? wfmu.org...
	10:40am KP: There's an A-side, a B-side and in NYC, an Alt-side.
	10:42am medson: swag for life is definetly an easier way for me to donate.
	👻 10:42am queems: i'm so psyched for my turtle shirt to come
	10:44am Wild Neil: OH! A-Z! NOW I get it. Duh!
	10:44am annie: for those of you who balk at the SfL donation, this is my testimony: i am retired on a very limited income. i am a SfL member and feel it's worth the while to kick in a hunk of my money to this station. i enjoy it and love being a part of this family.. .. so i drink a little less wine and gin... fair trade, yo!
	10:44am coelacanth∅: this woofmoo is different than either of the previous ones though. - i don't know why they don't have the woofmoo t in a variety of colors available in the wfmu store.
	10:45am pantz: It's turtles all the way down
	10:45am Greg from ZONE 5: YES. Joe inna his khaki suit and ting.
	10:46am coelacanth∅: sayn'.
	10:46am Listener Alexandra: You're the best, Joe :-) And I'm getting your Spring premium again because I donated the original to a hipster mecca here in town. Another great reason to pledge to Surface Noise!
	10:47am Claw!: holy crap. I'm just in time. Joe! Play Rigby next! for the culture.
	10:47am Claw!: also - hi, everybody!
	10:47am Lixiviated Life: Last time I heard that song on the air I was listening to WNYU's New Afternoon Show back in the last century. Ahhh those College Radio Days.
	10:48am Joe McG: @Alex: That's so cool! Yes, as Alex mentioned, pledging in the fall allows you to pick up any spring premiums you may have missed, including mine. :)
	10:48am Gordon FM: @Krys @joe McG - my contact is now taking his hunch back after seeing his name on the 45 on YT! I just sent a message to Joseph Millar directly. The saga continues...
	10:48am Lixiviated Life: are strictly rooooots
	10:49am Listener Alexandra: Your last premium is worth owning twice, Joe!
	10:49am zopa: I have no doubt that Joe can continue the reggae vibe through the rest of the alphabet... if he wanted.
	10:50am annie: hey, any of you folks know of decent housing in albany area... 6 months or so for my kid, his girl, and their 2 dogs?? they are very responsible and contientious..they're leaving LA for the right coast..
	10:50am Little Danny: Mornin' Joe, all
	10:50am Lixiviated Life: now if you play Black Uhuru, the planets will converge and a time warp open
	10:51am Lixiviated Life: or Big Youth, that might work too
	10:51am coelacanth∅: c. culture
	10:51am Lixiviated Life: Capleton next?
	10:52am coelacanth∅: ...or, chairman of the board.
	10:53am zopa: @annie I used to live in Menands, just outside Albany, in a place called Park Hill. Don't know if they do 6 month leases, but I liked living there.
	👻 10:53am doctorjazz: The pledge page doesn't list prices for any of the swag, only Swag For Life amounts. I'd kick in a contribution (already SFL) for the fall, curious what swag I could get...
	10:53am Krys O.: @Gordon FM: Thanks! Inquiring minds want to know.
	10:53am coelacanth∅: ("chairMEN...")
	10:53am Lixiviated Life: ok... it was fun while it lasted
	👻 10:54am queems: @doctorjazz there is a button that you have to switch it to for it to show the one time donation prices
	10:55am Joe McG: @Gordon: Let me know what happens! @Little Danny: Speaking of great premiums, great premium this year, sir! @doctorJazz: I can help you out after the show if you need help.
	10:55am Krys O.: @steveo: Cool!
	10:56am Cheri Pi: Coming out of hiding to say JOEJOEJOE!
	10:56am Davee: IT IS ALWAYS A BUTTON
	10:57am Joe McG: Hey CP! :)
	10:57am V Priceless: neat neat neat joe joe joe! woo!
	10:57am Cheri Pi: Great show my son!!
	10:57am dr. jim: NeatNeatNeat, indeed!
	10:58am coelacanth∅: "i noh steal nottin; no even a button"
	10:58am Little Danny: Ah, man, thanks Joe!
	10:59am coelacanth∅: i'm ready for this
	11:00am annie: thanks Zopa, i'll pass the word at 'em.
	11:00am herb.nyc: last night, i played my WFMU dvd of bands performing at monty hall. but i didn't reach the end, where the EX are. lotsa good stuff on the vid, like DIRTY FENCES and CAMBODIAN band.
	11:03am pantz: How did they fit that title on a 45?
	👻 11:03am doctorjazz: Duh...I saw the button that changes the page to 1 time contributions, but didn't look down to notice that the pledge amounts changed for the 1 time pledge after the button is clicked...
	11:04am Joe McG: @pantz: Small print! They were trying to break the Guinness record for longest song title. I think they did for a bit.
	11:04am Mister Dobalina: Tight set of tracks, Joe. A++++
	11:05am coelacanth∅: Belinda Carlisle must have been young for this one...and a boy...
	11:05am medson: Thanks for working so hard today Joe. Singles going Sweaty
	11:07am Joe McG: Thanks for tuning in, medson! @Mr.Dobalina: Thank you, sir!
	👻 11:08am Brian in UK: @medson is your middle name Zelig?
	👻 11:10am Ken From Hyde Park: As if you don't have enough to do already, Joe, I must call you some time this week to update my credit card info. New expiration date and whatnot. With all the security issues these days, I don't want to email such information.
	11:10am jmd: Cant' hear this without thinking of De La Soul, too.
	11:11am JtotheK: Instant Funk ... cool! (can't help but think of de la 'roller skating jam named saturday')
	11:11am Joe McG: @Ken: Yes, please do give me a call. If I'm not at my desk, I'll give you a ring back.
	11:12am Little Danny: Loved that Hidden Cost side. There is a similar psych-y soul instro by the Daley Diggers, also on Marmaduke Records.
	11:14am Little Danny: For an alphabetically-driven order, this set has surprising coherence
	11:17am BronwynB: i missed the 60s go gos. what was chicken of the sea about? tuna? a scaredy cat surfer? or just a wet fowl?
	11:18am steveo: they should have written out the year "one thousand, seven-hundred twenty-seven".
	👻 11:19am Brian in UK: My People were Fair etc by Tyranosaurus Rex was a long LP title. Lawd knows why.
	11:19am Gordon FM: @Joe - will do!
	11:21am zopa: Rednex: (A Swedish group) Regretting What I Said to You When You Called Me 11:00 On a Friday Morning to Tell Me that at 1:00 Friday Afternoon You're Gonna Leave Your Office, Go Downstairs, Hail a Cab to Go Out to the Airport to Catch a Plane to Go Skiing in the Alps for Two Weeks, Not that I Wanted to Go With You, I Wasn't Able to Leave Town, I'm Not a Very Good Skier, I Couldn't Expect You to Pay My Way, But After Going Out With You for Three Years I DON'T Like Surprises!! Subtitled: A Musical Apology
	11:21am steveo: how many 45s do you have, anyway? like, more than a thousand?
	11:22am Joe McG: @zopa: Excellent! @steveo: Only about 4500-5000. Other DJs here have warehouses full.
	11:23am Davee: LZ on WFMU? That is different and it's a good song!
	👻 11:23am Brian in UK: This must have come out after Trampled Under Foot as a single.
	11:24am joe mulligan: holy schmokes Joe, that's a lot of rekkids! and just the 45s?
	11:24am steveo: @joe "only"; gotcha :)
	11:24am Joe McG: I like when LZ went out of their musical comfort zone.
	11:24am Lewis: need a clicky star for "grinning at the cognitive dissonance"
	11:24am frenchee: Wow! ZeP rock
	11:25am Davee: The In through the out door was quite good!
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: Did LZ have a comfort zone? Made my ears bleed when I heard them.
	11:25am Listener Alexandra: I seriously just realized you're doing an A-Z finale Joe...time for that second cuppa tea :-)
	11:26am Joe McG: @Alex: It only makes sense if you're really looking at the playlist, but it's an organizing principle for the show. It's nice to put limits on yourself.
	11:27am Lewis: did Bio Ritmo put out any singles? (chiming in from left field...)
	11:28am zopa: Apologies, my attribution was wrong. Not Rednex, but Christine Lavin.
	11:28am Listener Alexandra: And I just realized you did an A-Z set already this show. Man, I need more tea!
	11:30am Joe McG: @lewis: Hm, don't know! @zopa: That makes sense! @joem: There are DJs here with SERIOUS collections, believe me.
	👻 11:30am queems: didn't rednex do cotton eye joe
	11:31am Sem Chumbo: Available for sock hops, Joe? Asking for an acquaintance.
	11:31am coelacanth∅: (the only cotton-eyed joe i care about is Nina Simone's)
	11:32am Joe McG: @Sem: Always! I have a lot of socks, too.
	11:32am Lewis: @Alexandra - you are seeing something that I can't find... please elaborate...
	11:32am Krys O.: I used to play Led Zeppelin on my show back in the day.
	11:34am Joe McG: Hey everybody, I don't know if there are any archives on the site, but Krys O. did a great show on WFMU for many years. I used to listen to it and I wish she'd come back! :)
	11:34am SeanG: yeah man BIG STAR
	11:34am Wild Neil: @Queems-yes they did! Circa 1996?
	11:35am BriJet: Hello all!!
	11:35am frenchee: what @SeanG said. Except it's the POSIES what? I was thinking, wait a sec, we already passed "B"
	11:35am BriJet: https://wfmu.org/playlists/KO
	11:36am Lewis: Does Matt W have a single of Felder? tune in and find out I suppose...
	11:36am Joe McG: @frenchee: Soon they would BECOME Big Star.
	11:36am herb.nyc: check out the BIG STAR 3rd 2cd live. the liner notes by chris stamey are very incisive. there's a dvd too.
	11:36am Crumblebum: Rippin version of this...
	11:36am Joe McG: Thanks, BriJet, for the link to Krys O.!
	11:36am frenchee: right, Joe, they certainly captured the sound #uncanny
	11:37am Listener Alexandra: @Lewis: look at the set list; the bands are in alphabetical order. Because Joe is awesome like that ;-)
	11:37am BriJet: :P
	11:37am annie: holy moley joe, this playlist FLEW !!!! whataguy!!!
	11:37am Will: Holy crap, at first I thought this was Big Star doing an early and way-rockin demo of this song.
	11:37am steveo: the ol' bed switcheroo
	11:37am Krys O.: Holy moly! Thanks, Joe and Brijet. I'm blushing.
	11:38am zopa: Are the Rutles next?
	11:38am frenchee: @Krys O., I'll check some of your shows out! @Will, I had the same thought re Big Posies
	👻 11:39am doctorjazz: Boy, did ? Mark and the Mysterians have a distinct sound... LOVE Denise!
	11:41am Dennis Diken: "Denise" - man, this record slays me! great show Joe!
	👻 11:41am doctorjazz: (had trouble understanding the name of the girl being sung to, though...)
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: Joe good work on the Q. This is a race against time.
	11:41am Krys O.: @frenchee: The archives for my show are mainly the Church of the Subgenius rants and maybe a couple of regular shows. I lost a lot of tapes of my shows. :(
	11:42am frenchee: By George, I think Joe's gonna make it to ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	11:42am steveo: [picturing joe shuffling through records, searching for a T that's under 3 mins]
	11:42am Joe McG: @Brian: Q is tricky! @frenchee: I hope I make it!! @Dennis: Thanks, sire! Having a blast.
	11:43am Lewis: Ok now I see it - duh...
	11:43am frenchee: yep, and a U and a Veeee and so on....GO JOE Go.
