	♥ 9:07am The Oscar: Mornin'! This is just what I need after a long, chilly walk to work.
	9:08am Rich in NC: Good morning all,hi Joe, thanks for the help with the swag
	9:09am queems: good morning!
	♥ 9:10am Guido from Cologne: Hi Joe! Seems like you're a capricorn! :-) (We in Germany say about zodiak signs in that way.)
	♥ 9:10am Krys O.: Good morning!
	9:11am queems: this is some smooth shit
	♥ 9:11am Guido from Cologne: do you always manage to get what you want :-D
	♥ 9:11am Krys O.: @tadpoles: I think Joe's intro sounds more like Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister than Bluebottle.
	♥ 9:11am Guido from Cologne: Jesus was a capricorn
	♥ 9:13am Joe McG: Hey, e'erybody, good morning! @Guido: No, but I don't like to hunt, either. :)
	♥ 9:13am The Oscar: Fingers crossed for some Harvey Sid Fisher! ;)
	♥ 9:15am Brian in UK: Our daughter is born on 20th Jan at 22:15, what does that make her? Apart from 27 next Saturday.
	♥ 9:16am Sem: Aquarius, I think.
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: Kelly, you're up EARLY today!
	♥ 9:17am Sem: ... As an Aquarius born on January 22nd, your adaptability and originality are amongst your most defining qualities. You take little interest in the mundane, instead choosing to embrace new situations, experiences and environments.
	♥ 9:18am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Good morning, Joe and All!
	♥ 9:19am Brian in UK: @Sem so you are wing walking over here.
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: Whoops! Wrong track!
	♥ 9:21am Sebastian: heh, what was that?
	♥ 9:21am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: @Sem. My Birthday is the 22nd too! 1984
	♥ 9:22am Sebastian: got an earworm now of that wrong track!
	♥ 9:24am Joe McG: @Sebastian: That's "In Zaire" about the Ali fight in Africa. Good song!
	♥ 9:24am Sem: Always winging it, for sure.
	♥ 9:24am The Oscar: YESSSSS!!!!
	♥ 9:24am tadpoles: Hey @Brian ... doing Major Bloodknock's Rock 'n' Roll Call!
	♥ 9:25am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Cannonball Adderley- Soul Zodiac. I just know it's coming up...Capricorn's a good one too.
	♥ 9:25am The Oscar: One of my prized possessions is a DVD-R I got at Kim's (RIP) years ago, containing the complete Songs of the Zodiac, along with two WFMU Irritainment specials and a bunch of other similar nuggets. Pretty much everyone who's set foot in anyplace I've lived has been subjected to it at one point or another.
	9:25am queems: i’m unsure of what this guy was born
	9:25am Davis: i am enjoying this capricornius set... it is my birthday
	♥ 9:26am Sebastian: of course, I know it well. I like the theme, here's hoping there will be some libra songs
	9:26am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Wow, I had never heard this Capricorn tune. I was born one too. Happy Birthday Joe!
	9:26am queems: @sebastian YES to libra songs
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: @Davis: Happy birthday! It was mine yesterday. @Karen: Thanks!
	♥ 9:27am Sebastian: so it's your birthday, Joe? Happy birthday!
	♥ 9:29am The Oscar: Every time I show someone Songs of the Zodiac, they inform me halfway through the second song that they're not watching the whole thing. They invariably wind up watching the whole thing, usually singing along by the end.
	♥ 9:29am Hoboken Jack: Hello Joe and all! The birthday excitement continues!
	9:29am queems: happy birthday!
	♥ 9:30am Kelly Jones: Happy Birthday Joe McGasko!!!!!!!
	9:31am Lana in Buxom County: Harvey Sid Fisher, right on, Joe! Saw him perform the Signs at Maxwell's long ago. Bought that video for the songs; Harvey in baby blue lounge suit and a girl for each sign dancing behind him dressed in silly sign outfits - I think I gave Ken a copy of that video. Thanks for bringing back the memories and happy Birthday!
	9:32am Will-X: I think KISS's "C'mon and Love Me" counts as Capricorn rock.
	9:32am medson: Happy Bday Joe.
	♥ 9:32am Brian in UK: Astrology = Smoke & Mirrors.
	♥ 9:34am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: elements and eagles!
	♥ 9:37am Brian in UK: It is a very emotional time, Joe.
	9:37am queems: it’s your party you can drink water if you want to
	♥ 9:37am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: oh! Damnit! i JUST missed CAnnonnall Adderley. didn't even see.
	9:38am KevinfromBayRidge: Morning. Happy belated birthday. We had a great surprise party for you yesterday at Monty Hall!
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: Thanks for the birthday wishes, guys. @Brian: Agree! @Will-X: Good one! I used to enjoy singing that one.
	9:41am HarktheUmpire: Nice. Sounds Sebadoh-y
	9:42am pigpen in sussex England: Listening while doing my accounts!
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: @pigpen: Ha ha! Thanks for tuning in, I think several people might be doing accounts to the show this morning. @Kevin: I missed my party AGAIN!
	9:45am V Priceless: Hi Joe!
	9:45am Vincent Nifigance: Happy Birthyesterday, Joe.
	♥ 9:46am pantz: Happy birthday, to our pal! Our pal, Joe!
	♥ 9:47am Joe McG: Thanks Vincent and pantz!~
	9:47am Greg from ZONE 5: Happy Belated, Joe! Play me through this post-IBJ hangover.
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: @Greg: Did you overdo it yesterday? I hope so!
	9:57am northguineahills: I also overdid it last night, but, I'm criminally still at work this morning.
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: Oh, no, ngh! My sympathies.
	10:00am Leelee: Love this Luna cover! Belated Happy Bday!
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: @Leelee: Thanks! I agree, very nice version of this Dylan sleeper.
	♥ 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy birthday, Joe! I hope there was enough cake to go around.
	10:02am northguineahills: But I saw much good noise/improv/metallic punk live last night, so it was worth it (all of my other friends had today off, but, eh, I work for small startup, not complaining too loudly)
	10:03am davefromtoronto: happy b-day joe! thanks for all the great shows.
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: Thanks for the good wishes Ken and dave. I'm glad there are folks at home enjoying the show as well as at work like ngh or pigpen.
	♥ 10:07am Hoboken Jack: How is Jaguwar not on the Jagjaguwar label?!?
	10:08am queems: i’ve been at work for 3 hours already and i haven’t gotten any less grumpy
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: An excellent question, Jack. The band must be contacted.
	10:10am northguineahills: I thought the same thing, Jack.
	♥ 10:11am tadpoles: Can you still play cassettes on FMU Joe?
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Oh, yeah! We have two decks in the studio. Pain to cue, which is mostly why people don't very often.
	♥ 10:13am Brian in UK: Is this Paul Burnett interviewing?
	♥ 10:13am The Oscar: When I was a kid, my family almost exclusively listened to cassettes-- my folks' turntable died in the late '80s, and we didn't get a CD player until '94 or so. Even then, I remember buying them pretty late into the '90s.
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: @Brian: I think it may be, Brian!
	♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Forget cassettes bring back reel to reels.
	10:15am queems: 8 track or nothing
	♥ 10:16am Brian in UK: Lucky dip 8 track.
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: @queems: Ha ha ha! 8 Track Mind
	10:17am Stevel: Malcom=Punk PT Barnum.
	♥ 10:17am Nymor: Interviewer sounds like Mike Read
	10:18am melinda: Radio's a red herring, haha
	♥ 10:19am Brian in UK: Richard was Richard Skinner who also presented The Old Grey Whistle Test for a while.
	10:21am Stevel: Guessing Malcolm's whole intent was to flog Bow Bow Wow, certainly a worthy cause.
	♥ 10:22am Joe McG: @melinda: Thanks, I have a title for today's show now!
	♥ 10:23am Krys O.: Wire recordings 4 ever!
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: @Krys O: Ha! Cylinders are my pick.
	♥ 10:24am The Oscar: No lie: there was a hardware store in my old neighborhood in Brookline, MA, which sold Edison cylinders for $5 a piece, circa 2006. I regret not getting one-- I wonder if they still have them.
	10:29am Bob Dolan: I love Yorgos.
	10:31am northguineahills: @Oscar: Damn, Mac (WFMU's dj from Antique Phonograph Music Program) probably could use some of them. Wire recordings were only around for maybe 8 years, correct, Krys O.? (40s early 50s?)
	♥ 10:31am MD: C30...C60...C90...GO!!!!
	10:31am SheWolf: I was born a Capricorn too.
	♥ 10:32am MD: I have about 30 Years of WFMU air-check Cassettes...They can be a TRIP!!!
	♥ 10:32am The Oscar: Malcolm's such an interesting character. I like to consider The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, Sid & Nancy, and The Filth and the Fury a six-hour remake of Rashomon.
	10:34am herb.nyc: Hi all, I mentioned on wfmu already- K7 is a way to write out cassette en France. Ya get it? - a cylinder is on display at main library at 42nd st. I saw it last week.
	10:35am djsheilab: Happy birthday Joe! And good morning to everyone!
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: @SheWolf: Nice! @SheilaB: Thanks, Sheila! :)
	♥ 10:42am Sem: Wow, had to come in from the kitchen to see it was Ms. Franklin belting out that tune. Did I say WOW! already? Nice spin there, Birthday Boy.
	10:42am βrian: Happy MLK day.
	10:43am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe! Thanks for another magnificent Monday morning :-)
	10:43am Lixiviated Life: Rudy CAN"T fail
	10:43am Stevel: So, Nobody's Fool vs. Where is the Love. Someone fully appropriated the riff.
	10:44am Kurt Gottschalk: SPESH!
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: Thanks, Sem! Thanks, Alex! And yes, Happy MLK Day, everybody.
	10:45am Lixiviated Life: How I miss my black and white pork pie hat.
	♥ 10:45am Jeff Golick: Happy bday, @Joe!
	10:46am Lixiviated Life: Those splendid nights in Brixton
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: Hey Kurt! I think your Specials Alert went off! Thanks, Jeff! @Lixiviated Life: I think we need more trombone solos on pop records, no question.
	10:47am northguineahills: Swamp cabbage = palmettos, FYI (Floridian here).
	10:48am northguineahills: (yes I've eaten them before).
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: "Angel Got a Book Today" may be the weirdest record you will hear on WFMU today.
	10:50am Vincent Nifigance: This is incredible.
	10:50am Vincent Nifigance: Wow, we just shifted gears...
	♥ 10:51am pantz: Strong finish!
	10:51am Vincent Nifigance: 10.0
	♥ 10:52am The Oscar: I don't understand a thing about this song, but I'm fascinated. Also was not expecting a shout-out to Somerville!
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @pantz: "And Daddy lives in....HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!"
	10:52am Listener Alexandra: My favorite Smiths song!!!!
	♥ 10:52am Passaic River Blues: Insane, but the good kind. Thank you, Mr. Campbell!
	10:52am queems: this is some dark shit
	♥ 10:53am pantz: From one whiner to another. JK, I love Mozz
	♥ 10:54am Goyim in the AM: I once had an apartment on the Somerville/Cambridge line -- that is, the line went right down my hallway. Trying to get the correct utilities folks to come out was . . . HELLLLLLLLLLLLL!
	10:54am Warwick joe: When the smiths were firing on all cylinders, they really kicked ass.
	10:55am βrian: I thought theirs was a rotary engine.
	♥ 10:56am The Oscar: @Goyim Ha, I've had friends in the exact same predicament!
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Warwickjoe: Agree!
	♥ 10:57am Sem: Smiths= Wankels? @βrian.
	♥ 10:58am Summer and Michael: Happy Birthday, Joe! Just tuning on now, so looking forward to hearing entire show on archive but you're certainly heating things up here on a very cold MLK Day. Happy B'day, friend!
	♥ 10:58am tadpoles: Ayshea....nice..sounds like The Move!
	10:58am Vincent Nifigance: This is a hell of a song too. Listen to that earthquaking bass...
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Produced and written by Roy Wood. Probably played the whole thing himself, too.
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: Thanks, Michael!
	♥ 11:02am tadpoles: Thanks for the introduction to her Joe.
	♥ 11:06am Goyim in the AM: Looking up the only information about Michael Campbell available on the web, it appears that the song refers to Somerville, Indiana. Banish all images of the Virgin Mary on the half.shell and dog poop on the sidewalk from your mind.
	11:08am melinda: @Goyim haha
	♥ 11:08am The Oscar: Found this tidbit from a Motown encyclopedia: books.google.com...
	11:09am queems: i only know somerville, new jersey. go pioneers or whatever
	♥ 11:09am The Oscar: @Goyim Aw, bummer! Nevertheless, I'll be scrutinizing my Winter Hell neighbors to see if I can decide who that song was about.
	♥ 11:10am Passaic River Blues: Holy crap, Michael Campbell was in "Total Recall"? Worlds are smashing together. ... Seems like there's a county jail in Somerville, IN.
	11:11am Vincent Nifigance: @The Oscar's link from Motown Encyclopedia is most informative. books.google.co.uk...
	♥ 11:11am The Oscar: *Winter HILL, haha
	11:12am Rob W: The Fayette County Jail is in Somerville, TN. Just sayin'.
	11:13am herb.nyc: Happy birthday joe!!! I sing "Somerville" by the Pernice Brothers for you: I'm sick of the cynical I'm sick of the fashion show The vapid and overblown someone someone tells me I ought to know...
	11:13am Rob W: Hasten to add I have no personal experience of the facility.
	11:13am KP: Good later in morning, Joe.
	11:13am melinda: rib but
	11:14am melinda: That was supposed to be ribbit, like a froggie
	♥ 11:15am Barney Grubbs: "[Michael Campbell] later became an actor under the name Michael Champion, appearing in 'Total Recall,' 'Toy Soldiers,' and 'Beverly Hills Cop,' among other films." !! (from the link that @Vincent Nifigance posted)
	♥ 11:16am Passaic River Blues: I believe Monica is a big fan of Denise Lasalle.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @PRB: One of the albums I'm playing today was purchased from Monica's own record collection!
	♥ 11:17am The Oscar: Mike Campbell in Total Recall, with Michael Ironside: vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net...
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Barney: Wow, he sure is an actor on that record!
	♥ 11:19am Passaic River Blues: @The Oscar: Nice reconnaissance!
	11:20am b: The main characters dance to Trapped by a Thing Called Love in Only Lovers Left Alive, it's lovely.
	♥ 11:21am The Oscar: @PRB Thanks! I used to run auctions for a used record store, so I'm good at linking obscure records to things people have heard of :)
	11:22am queems: well shit girl tell us how you really feel
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: @queems: Ha ha, she always did! What great songs she wrote. These are all hers.
	11:24am queems: @joe i love it!
	11:25am aaronfromMI: These tracks are, as the kids would say, fire. Loving it!
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @aaron: Damn, she sounds good!
	♥ 11:32am Gaylord Fields: Thanks for the Denise LaSalle love, Joe! I’m happy you’re giving her this beautiful sendoff. She’s an all-time favorite since childhood.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: My pleasure, Gaylord! I love her records so much.
	♥ 11:34am tadpoles: With all the shows on archive I have easily sold my soul to FMU. You and the station have such a wonderful selection of music. Always still a learning experience too.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: Why thanks, tadpoles, that's so nice to hear.
	11:42am Listener Baby: Rocking to you, Baby Joe! Great to shake your hand the other day!
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: Nice to see you at the party, LB!
	11:51am V Priceless: I'd like details on the meal she prepared
	11:51am Rich in NC: What a song!
	11:52am aaronfromMI: Wowza! Negligee! As for meals, she owned a diner in Jackson, TN for a minute.
	♥ 11:53am 12539: Thanks, Joe. And Happy Belated Birthday!
	♥ 11:53am Brian in UK: @tadpoles totally with you. Shame there is nothing of this scale at home. What meal!!
	11:54am Rich in NC: Thanks Joe
	♥ 11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the rememberances and festivities today, Joe. Warmth and happieness until next time.
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Thanks, 12539! And thanks to everyone for tuning in today. If you have the day off, I hope it's a solid one. If you don't, hang in there! See you all next Monday. May the week bring you all good things.
	11:55am sd: Joe "King of Soul" McGasko. WOOOOOOOO!
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: Thanks Joe.
	11:59am queems: thanks joe! almost accidentally typed hoe. happy birthday!
	11:59am djsheilab: Thanks for the fabulous Denise LaSalle tribute! I wasn't familiar with most of her material, so I got a goooood education.
	12:00pm Readie Righteous: Thanks Joe, great set!

	9:08am Rich in NC: Good morning all,hi Joe, thanks for the help with the swag
	9:09am queems: good morning!
	♥ 9:10am Guido from Cologne: Hi Joe! Seems like you're a capricorn! :-) (We in Germany say about zodiak signs in that way.)
	♥ 9:10am Krys O.: Good morning!
	9:11am queems: this is some smooth shit
	♥ 9:11am Guido from Cologne: do you always manage to get what you want :-D
	♥ 9:11am Krys O.: @tadpoles: I think Joe's intro sounds more like Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister than Bluebottle.
	♥ 9:11am Guido from Cologne: Jesus was a capricorn
	♥ 9:13am Joe McG: Hey, e'erybody, good morning! @Guido: No, but I don't like to hunt, either. :)
	♥ 9:13am The Oscar: Fingers crossed for some Harvey Sid Fisher! ;)
	♥ 9:15am Brian in UK: Our daughter is born on 20th Jan at 22:15, what does that make her? Apart from 27 next Saturday.
	♥ 9:16am Sem: Aquarius, I think.
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: Kelly, you're up EARLY today!
	♥ 9:17am Sem: ... As an Aquarius born on January 22nd, your adaptability and originality are amongst your most defining qualities. You take little interest in the mundane, instead choosing to embrace new situations, experiences and environments.
	♥ 9:18am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Good morning, Joe and All!
	♥ 9:19am Brian in UK: @Sem so you are wing walking over here.
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: Whoops! Wrong track!
	♥ 9:21am Sebastian: heh, what was that?
	♥ 9:21am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: @Sem. My Birthday is the 22nd too! 1984
	♥ 9:22am Sebastian: got an earworm now of that wrong track!
	♥ 9:24am Joe McG: @Sebastian: That's "In Zaire" about the Ali fight in Africa. Good song!
	♥ 9:24am Sem: Always winging it, for sure.
	♥ 9:24am The Oscar: YESSSSS!!!!
	♥ 9:24am tadpoles: Hey @Brian ... doing Major Bloodknock's Rock 'n' Roll Call!
	♥ 9:25am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Cannonball Adderley- Soul Zodiac. I just know it's coming up...Capricorn's a good one too.
	♥ 9:25am The Oscar: One of my prized possessions is a DVD-R I got at Kim's (RIP) years ago, containing the complete Songs of the Zodiac, along with two WFMU Irritainment specials and a bunch of other similar nuggets. Pretty much everyone who's set foot in anyplace I've lived has been subjected to it at one point or another.
	9:25am queems: i’m unsure of what this guy was born
	9:25am Davis: i am enjoying this capricornius set... it is my birthday
	♥ 9:26am Sebastian: of course, I know it well. I like the theme, here's hoping there will be some libra songs
	9:26am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Wow, I had never heard this Capricorn tune. I was born one too. Happy Birthday Joe!
	9:26am queems: @sebastian YES to libra songs
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: @Davis: Happy birthday! It was mine yesterday. @Karen: Thanks!
	♥ 9:27am Sebastian: so it's your birthday, Joe? Happy birthday!
	♥ 9:29am The Oscar: Every time I show someone Songs of the Zodiac, they inform me halfway through the second song that they're not watching the whole thing. They invariably wind up watching the whole thing, usually singing along by the end.
	♥ 9:29am Hoboken Jack: Hello Joe and all! The birthday excitement continues!
	9:29am queems: happy birthday!
	♥ 9:30am Kelly Jones: Happy Birthday Joe McGasko!!!!!!!
	9:31am Lana in Buxom County: Harvey Sid Fisher, right on, Joe! Saw him perform the Signs at Maxwell's long ago. Bought that video for the songs; Harvey in baby blue lounge suit and a girl for each sign dancing behind him dressed in silly sign outfits - I think I gave Ken a copy of that video. Thanks for bringing back the memories and happy Birthday!
	9:32am Will-X: I think KISS's "C'mon and Love Me" counts as Capricorn rock.
	9:32am medson: Happy Bday Joe.
	♥ 9:32am Brian in UK: Astrology = Smoke & Mirrors.
	♥ 9:34am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: elements and eagles!
	♥ 9:37am Brian in UK: It is a very emotional time, Joe.
	9:37am queems: it’s your party you can drink water if you want to
	♥ 9:37am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: oh! Damnit! i JUST missed CAnnonnall Adderley. didn't even see.
	9:38am KevinfromBayRidge: Morning. Happy belated birthday. We had a great surprise party for you yesterday at Monty Hall!
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: Thanks for the birthday wishes, guys. @Brian: Agree! @Will-X: Good one! I used to enjoy singing that one.
	9:41am HarktheUmpire: Nice. Sounds Sebadoh-y
	9:42am pigpen in sussex England: Listening while doing my accounts!
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: @pigpen: Ha ha! Thanks for tuning in, I think several people might be doing accounts to the show this morning. @Kevin: I missed my party AGAIN!
	9:45am V Priceless: Hi Joe!
	9:45am Vincent Nifigance: Happy Birthyesterday, Joe.
	♥ 9:46am pantz: Happy birthday, to our pal! Our pal, Joe!
	♥ 9:47am Joe McG: Thanks Vincent and pantz!~
	9:47am Greg from ZONE 5: Happy Belated, Joe! Play me through this post-IBJ hangover.
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: @Greg: Did you overdo it yesterday? I hope so!
	9:57am northguineahills: I also overdid it last night, but, I'm criminally still at work this morning.
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: Oh, no, ngh! My sympathies.
	10:00am Leelee: Love this Luna cover! Belated Happy Bday!
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: @Leelee: Thanks! I agree, very nice version of this Dylan sleeper.
	♥ 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy birthday, Joe! I hope there was enough cake to go around.
	10:02am northguineahills: But I saw much good noise/improv/metallic punk live last night, so it was worth it (all of my other friends had today off, but, eh, I work for small startup, not complaining too loudly)
	10:03am davefromtoronto: happy b-day joe! thanks for all the great shows.
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: Thanks for the good wishes Ken and dave. I'm glad there are folks at home enjoying the show as well as at work like ngh or pigpen.
	♥ 10:07am Hoboken Jack: How is Jaguwar not on the Jagjaguwar label?!?
	10:08am queems: i’ve been at work for 3 hours already and i haven’t gotten any less grumpy
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: An excellent question, Jack. The band must be contacted.
	10:10am northguineahills: I thought the same thing, Jack.
	♥ 10:11am tadpoles: Can you still play cassettes on FMU Joe?
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Oh, yeah! We have two decks in the studio. Pain to cue, which is mostly why people don't very often.
	♥ 10:13am Brian in UK: Is this Paul Burnett interviewing?
	♥ 10:13am The Oscar: When I was a kid, my family almost exclusively listened to cassettes-- my folks' turntable died in the late '80s, and we didn't get a CD player until '94 or so. Even then, I remember buying them pretty late into the '90s.
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: @Brian: I think it may be, Brian!
	♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Forget cassettes bring back reel to reels.
	10:15am queems: 8 track or nothing
	♥ 10:16am Brian in UK: Lucky dip 8 track.
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: @queems: Ha ha ha! 8 Track Mind
	10:17am Stevel: Malcom=Punk PT Barnum.
	♥ 10:17am Nymor: Interviewer sounds like Mike Read
	10:18am melinda: Radio's a red herring, haha
	♥ 10:19am Brian in UK: Richard was Richard Skinner who also presented The Old Grey Whistle Test for a while.
	10:21am Stevel: Guessing Malcolm's whole intent was to flog Bow Bow Wow, certainly a worthy cause.
	♥ 10:22am Joe McG: @melinda: Thanks, I have a title for today's show now!
	♥ 10:23am Krys O.: Wire recordings 4 ever!
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: @Krys O: Ha! Cylinders are my pick.
	♥ 10:24am The Oscar: No lie: there was a hardware store in my old neighborhood in Brookline, MA, which sold Edison cylinders for $5 a piece, circa 2006. I regret not getting one-- I wonder if they still have them.
	10:29am Bob Dolan: I love Yorgos.
	10:31am northguineahills: @Oscar: Damn, Mac (WFMU's dj from Antique Phonograph Music Program) probably could use some of them. Wire recordings were only around for maybe 8 years, correct, Krys O.? (40s early 50s?)
	♥ 10:31am MD: C30...C60...C90...GO!!!!
	10:31am SheWolf: I was born a Capricorn too.
	♥ 10:32am MD: I have about 30 Years of WFMU air-check Cassettes...They can be a TRIP!!!
	♥ 10:32am The Oscar: Malcolm's such an interesting character. I like to consider The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, Sid & Nancy, and The Filth and the Fury a six-hour remake of Rashomon.
	10:34am herb.nyc: Hi all, I mentioned on wfmu already- K7 is a way to write out cassette en France. Ya get it? - a cylinder is on display at main library at 42nd st. I saw it last week.
	10:35am djsheilab: Happy birthday Joe! And good morning to everyone!
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: @SheWolf: Nice! @SheilaB: Thanks, Sheila! :)
	♥ 10:42am Sem: Wow, had to come in from the kitchen to see it was Ms. Franklin belting out that tune. Did I say WOW! already? Nice spin there, Birthday Boy.
	10:42am βrian: Happy MLK day.
	10:43am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe! Thanks for another magnificent Monday morning :-)
	10:43am Lixiviated Life: Rudy CAN"T fail
	10:43am Stevel: So, Nobody's Fool vs. Where is the Love. Someone fully appropriated the riff.
	10:44am Kurt Gottschalk: SPESH!
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: Thanks, Sem! Thanks, Alex! And yes, Happy MLK Day, everybody.
	10:45am Lixiviated Life: How I miss my black and white pork pie hat.
	♥ 10:45am Jeff Golick: Happy bday, @Joe!
	10:46am Lixiviated Life: Those splendid nights in Brixton
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: Hey Kurt! I think your Specials Alert went off! Thanks, Jeff! @Lixiviated Life: I think we need more trombone solos on pop records, no question.
	10:47am northguineahills: Swamp cabbage = palmettos, FYI (Floridian here).
	10:48am northguineahills: (yes I've eaten them before).
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: "Angel Got a Book Today" may be the weirdest record you will hear on WFMU today.
	10:50am Vincent Nifigance: This is incredible.
	10:50am Vincent Nifigance: Wow, we just shifted gears...
	♥ 10:51am pantz: Strong finish!
	10:51am Vincent Nifigance: 10.0
	♥ 10:52am The Oscar: I don't understand a thing about this song, but I'm fascinated. Also was not expecting a shout-out to Somerville!
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @pantz: "And Daddy lives in....HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!"
	10:52am Listener Alexandra: My favorite Smiths song!!!!
	♥ 10:52am Passaic River Blues: Insane, but the good kind. Thank you, Mr. Campbell!
	10:52am queems: this is some dark shit
	♥ 10:53am pantz: From one whiner to another. JK, I love Mozz
	♥ 10:54am Goyim in the AM: I once had an apartment on the Somerville/Cambridge line -- that is, the line went right down my hallway. Trying to get the correct utilities folks to come out was . . . HELLLLLLLLLLLLL!
	10:54am Warwick joe: When the smiths were firing on all cylinders, they really kicked ass.
	10:55am βrian: I thought theirs was a rotary engine.
	♥ 10:56am The Oscar: @Goyim Ha, I've had friends in the exact same predicament!
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Warwickjoe: Agree!
	♥ 10:57am Sem: Smiths= Wankels? @βrian.
	♥ 10:58am Summer and Michael: Happy Birthday, Joe! Just tuning on now, so looking forward to hearing entire show on archive but you're certainly heating things up here on a very cold MLK Day. Happy B'day, friend!
	♥ 10:58am tadpoles: Ayshea....nice..sounds like The Move!
	10:58am Vincent Nifigance: This is a hell of a song too. Listen to that earthquaking bass...
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Produced and written by Roy Wood. Probably played the whole thing himself, too.
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: Thanks, Michael!
	♥ 11:02am tadpoles: Thanks for the introduction to her Joe.
	♥ 11:06am Goyim in the AM: Looking up the only information about Michael Campbell available on the web, it appears that the song refers to Somerville, Indiana. Banish all images of the Virgin Mary on the half.shell and dog poop on the sidewalk from your mind.
	11:08am melinda: @Goyim haha
	♥ 11:08am The Oscar: Found this tidbit from a Motown encyclopedia: books.google.com...
	11:09am queems: i only know somerville, new jersey. go pioneers or whatever
	♥ 11:09am The Oscar: @Goyim Aw, bummer! Nevertheless, I'll be scrutinizing my Winter Hell neighbors to see if I can decide who that song was about.
	♥ 11:10am Passaic River Blues: Holy crap, Michael Campbell was in "Total Recall"? Worlds are smashing together. ... Seems like there's a county jail in Somerville, IN.
	11:11am Vincent Nifigance: @The Oscar's link from Motown Encyclopedia is most informative. books.google.co.uk...
	♥ 11:11am The Oscar: *Winter HILL, haha
	11:12am Rob W: The Fayette County Jail is in Somerville, TN. Just sayin'.
	11:13am herb.nyc: Happy birthday joe!!! I sing "Somerville" by the Pernice Brothers for you: I'm sick of the cynical I'm sick of the fashion show The vapid and overblown someone someone tells me I ought to know...
	11:13am Rob W: Hasten to add I have no personal experience of the facility.
	11:13am KP: Good later in morning, Joe.
	11:13am melinda: rib but
	11:14am melinda: That was supposed to be ribbit, like a froggie
	♥ 11:15am Barney Grubbs: "[Michael Campbell] later became an actor under the name Michael Champion, appearing in 'Total Recall,' 'Toy Soldiers,' and 'Beverly Hills Cop,' among other films." !! (from the link that @Vincent Nifigance posted)
	♥ 11:16am Passaic River Blues: I believe Monica is a big fan of Denise Lasalle.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @PRB: One of the albums I'm playing today was purchased from Monica's own record collection!
	♥ 11:17am The Oscar: Mike Campbell in Total Recall, with Michael Ironside: vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net...
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Barney: Wow, he sure is an actor on that record!
	♥ 11:19am Passaic River Blues: @The Oscar: Nice reconnaissance!
	11:20am b: The main characters dance to Trapped by a Thing Called Love in Only Lovers Left Alive, it's lovely.
	♥ 11:21am The Oscar: @PRB Thanks! I used to run auctions for a used record store, so I'm good at linking obscure records to things people have heard of :)
	11:22am queems: well shit girl tell us how you really feel
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: @queems: Ha ha, she always did! What great songs she wrote. These are all hers.
	11:24am queems: @joe i love it!
	11:25am aaronfromMI: These tracks are, as the kids would say, fire. Loving it!
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @aaron: Damn, she sounds good!
	♥ 11:32am Gaylord Fields: Thanks for the Denise LaSalle love, Joe! I’m happy you’re giving her this beautiful sendoff. She’s an all-time favorite since childhood.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: My pleasure, Gaylord! I love her records so much.
	♥ 11:34am tadpoles: With all the shows on archive I have easily sold my soul to FMU. You and the station have such a wonderful selection of music. Always still a learning experience too.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: Why thanks, tadpoles, that's so nice to hear.
	11:42am Listener Baby: Rocking to you, Baby Joe! Great to shake your hand the other day!
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: Nice to see you at the party, LB!
	11:51am V Priceless: I'd like details on the meal she prepared
	11:51am Rich in NC: What a song!
	11:52am aaronfromMI: Wowza! Negligee! As for meals, she owned a diner in Jackson, TN for a minute.
	♥ 11:53am 12539: Thanks, Joe. And Happy Belated Birthday!
	♥ 11:53am Brian in UK: @tadpoles totally with you. Shame there is nothing of this scale at home. What meal!!
	11:54am Rich in NC: Thanks Joe
	♥ 11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the rememberances and festivities today, Joe. Warmth and happieness until next time.
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Thanks, 12539! And thanks to everyone for tuning in today. If you have the day off, I hope it's a solid one. If you don't, hang in there! See you all next Monday. May the week bring you all good things.
	11:55am sd: Joe "King of Soul" McGasko. WOOOOOOOO!
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: Thanks Joe.
	11:59am queems: thanks joe! almost accidentally typed hoe. happy birthday!
	11:59am djsheilab: Thanks for the fabulous Denise LaSalle tribute! I wasn't familiar with most of her material, so I got a goooood education.
	12:00pm Readie Righteous: Thanks Joe, great set!
