	10:07am fleep: There's a fog upon L.A.
	10:07am mjgoins: Awesome set, capturing the mood.
	♥ 10:08am Brian in UK: Joe, just a mention that Robert Kirby arranged American Gothic. None on this comp.

	10:47am melinda: My forecast didn't include snow but here it is.
	10:48am northguineahills: This song pleases the abecedarian in me.

	10:53am annie: i love this piece.
	♥ 10:53am Brian in UK: A quick thinker.
	10:53am melinda: Wasn't Wink Martindale the host of Tic Tac Dough?
	♥ 10:53am queems: this is a lot of information
	♥ 10:53am The Oscar: This'd make a good double header with Buddy Max's Birthmark Story.
	♥ 10:54am Greg from ZONE 5: When I see the Jack…I dunno, Methusela?
	10:54am themutante: This relationship can only end in buggery. Filthy talk.
	10:55am davefromtoronto: will this ever end?
	10:55am Tomophobic Tom from Detroit: When I see the ace I think of the Verlander trade.
	♥ 10:55am The Oscar: Okay, that math stuff actually blew my mind.

	10:57am KP in DC: Hello, Joe!
	10:57am Itzall Ablurr: Haha! queems, I wish you had, maybe that would have shut him up.
	♥ 10:59am Brian in UK: @tadpoles are you thinking of Two Way Family Favourites?
	♥ 11:00am The Oscar: In general, I don't think I'd trust a man named Wink.
	♥ 11:00am Greg from ZONE 5: Never, EVER be ashamed of your hot pants.
	11:01am themutante: Hahaha, @TheOscar
	♥ 11:02am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: I knew that sounded like Nick Drake for a reason...
	♥ 11:03am tadpoles: No BrianUK .. I grew up in eNZ and there was a Saturday night request session where all the Pop and Psych was and one on Sunday.. more sedate. Strangely enough another regular on Sunday was Lorne Greene's "Ringo". FMU is still keeping Radio great!
	11:07am themutante: Bands today aint all out of it on acid, maybe?
	11:07am Michiel: The stream was clipping really badly on the last couple of songs. Like you have a dead battery in something.
	11:08am Brendan: @Joe after the "Made in Germany" on the 45 label was there another Made in Germany ala https://www.discogs.com/The-Beatles-Misery/release/2714337 ?
	♥ 11:09am The Oscar: I can't hear the name Tex Ritter without hearing "And that's when I woke up!" Which I now know is from "Hillbilly Heaven," but for me it's Joe Flaherty as Gregory Peck on the old National Lampoon record.
	11:10am themutante: Man, Laurie broke that man's heart and he never recovered.
	11:11am melinda: Wink Martindale sounds like a name someone would create for a fictitious game show host, yet he was real.
	♥ 11:14am queems: i'm def going to the record fair
	♥ 11:15am Brian in UK: @themutante looking forward to Kacey Musgrave's new album Golden Hour. She admits to small dosing acid. Seems to be popular these days.
	11:15am northguineahills: I always missed the record fair when I lived in NYC. I would either be out of town or broke. You'd think in 17 years, I'd make one.
	11:16am Linda Lee: @melinda ~ indeed. straight from SCTV :-)
	11:18am Linda Lee: small dosing LSD ~ a half cup of sand vs the beach. :-D
	11:19am annie: for years i made it to the record sale in binghamton, wow, it was a blast! and i even ran into people who had records saved for me.. it was family
	♥ 11:19am adampsyche: lovely show today (hi linda lee, tuning in from the catskills as well, beautiful scene outside today)
	11:20am Brendan: Those game shows were a hoot . Hollywood Squares, drunk celebs, plaid suits, wide ties, feather hats, funny microphones.
	11:20am Linda Lee: nice! where are you?
	11:20am Carmichael: Heya Joe and music lovers.
	11:20am themutante: Wow! This doesn't overly sound like Tracey Thorn.
	♥ 11:20am adampsyche: arkville! photos.app.goo.gl...
	11:21am themutante: Love it!
	11:21am Linda Lee: beautiful! isn't it great outside!
	11:22am Linda Lee: sun's coming out here in western Ulster. you should be seeing it momentarily.
	♥ 11:23am Ken From Hyde Park: In the duets category, Juliana Hatfield should perform with Neal McCoy. Assuming things don't wind up in a feud, though.
	11:23am Linda Lee: very funny, Ken. :-)
	11:23am northguineahills: Not sure why, but I've always like Juliana Hatfield.
	11:24am northguineahills: Jealous, adam. Haven't seen snow this year.
	11:28am northguineahills: Very apropos, Cavern of Anti-Matter into the Lab!
	11:28am Carmichael: Yes! Stereolab!!
	♥ 11:29am Greg from ZONE 5: Great band…or THE GREATEST BAND?!
	11:30am northguineahills: I fully endorse Greg's comment!
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Greg: Great workout song: "I was meant to exercise, it's plain!" :)
	11:31am duke: THE GREATEST BAND
	11:31am Cheri Pi: DAMNIT this brings back memories!!
	11:31am Linda Lee: that sounds more like exOrcise, to me, Joe.
	♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Tracey Thorn and Hollie Cook both on Merge now. Are Merge spreading their wings. Think it was only The Clientele before from this side.
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Linda: That's just my sense of humor, such as it is, Linda. :)
	♥ 11:33am abutthegreat: Radio on!
	11:33am Linda Lee: just making sure you weren't endorsing anything difficult. :-D
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Linda: Me endorse exercising? Surely you jest! ha ha
	11:36am Linda Lee: whew! :-D
	♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: WFMU is my surrogate John Peel. (x10)
	11:39am northguineahills: I somehow missed this High Llamas album, and I love them!
	11:40am Linda Lee: i just have to love something called 'giddy and gay' ~
	♥ 11:42am Brian in UK: Sean O'Hagen was in Stereolab for a while?
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: @Brian: He was indeed!
	♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: When I saw Arthur Lee in the early Nineties, I think that Sean O'Hagen was backing Arthur (yes me and Arthur were on first names terms!)
	11:49am TDK60: Brian, you knew Arthur Lee?
	♥ 11:49am pavlovsfrog: loving this set!
	11:49am Brendan: Best opening line ever
	♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: @TDK60 no I was taking the mickey out of people that refer to stars by their Christians names as if they know them. I liked his music too much to want to know him if that makes sense.
	11:53am Linda Lee: rather not have his work tainted by his humanity, eh? :-)
	11:54am Linda Lee: makes good sense to me ~ as many creative people are just awful.
	11:56am northguineahills: happy thanks, Joe!
	11:56am TDK60: I'm a Love fan, but I've met enough well-known humans not to be surprised by much.
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Hope you all have a good week this week. This all may be temporary, but it's what we've got. :)
	♥ 11:56am tadpoles: Nice spending the eclectic morning soundtrack with you all. Cheers.
	11:56am Linda Lee: thanks for a really lovely show Joe!

	10:53am melinda: Wasn't Wink Martindale the host of Tic Tac Dough?
	♥ 10:53am queems: this is a lot of information
	♥ 10:53am The Oscar: This'd make a good double header with Buddy Max's Birthmark Story.
	♥ 10:54am Greg from ZONE 5: When I see the Jack…I dunno, Methusela?
	10:54am themutante: This relationship can only end in buggery. Filthy talk.

	♥ 11:03am tadpoles: No BrianUK .. I grew up in eNZ and there was a Saturday night request session where all the Pop and Psych was and one on Sunday.. more sedate. Strangely enough another regular on Sunday was Lorne Greene's "Ringo". FMU is still keeping Radio great!
	11:07am themutante: Bands today aint all out of it on acid, maybe?
	11:07am Michiel: The stream was clipping really badly on the last couple of songs. Like you have a dead battery in something.

	♥ 11:09am The Oscar: I can't hear the name Tex Ritter without hearing "And that's when I woke up!" Which I now know is from "Hillbilly Heaven," but for me it's Joe Flaherty as Gregory Peck on the old National Lampoon record.
	11:10am themutante: Man, Laurie broke that man's heart and he never recovered.
	11:11am melinda: Wink Martindale sounds like a name someone would create for a fictitious game show host, yet he was real.
	♥ 11:14am queems: i'm def going to the record fair
	♥ 11:15am Brian in UK: @themutante looking forward to Kacey Musgrave's new album Golden Hour. She admits to small dosing acid. Seems to be popular these days.
	11:15am northguineahills: I always missed the record fair when I lived in NYC. I would either be out of town or broke. You'd think in 17 years, I'd make one.
	11:16am Linda Lee: @melinda ~ indeed. straight from SCTV :-)
	11:18am Linda Lee: small dosing LSD ~ a half cup of sand vs the beach. :-D
	11:19am annie: for years i made it to the record sale in binghamton, wow, it was a blast! and i even ran into people who had records saved for me.. it was family
	♥ 11:19am adampsyche: lovely show today (hi linda lee, tuning in from the catskills as well, beautiful scene outside today)
	11:20am Brendan: Those game shows were a hoot . Hollywood Squares, drunk celebs, plaid suits, wide ties, feather hats, funny microphones.
	11:20am Linda Lee: nice! where are you?
	11:20am Carmichael: Heya Joe and music lovers.
	11:20am themutante: Wow! This doesn't overly sound like Tracey Thorn.

	11:21am themutante: Love it!
	11:21am Linda Lee: beautiful! isn't it great outside!
	11:22am Linda Lee: sun's coming out here in western Ulster. you should be seeing it momentarily.
	♥ 11:23am Ken From Hyde Park: In the duets category, Juliana Hatfield should perform with Neal McCoy. Assuming things don't wind up in a feud, though.
	11:23am Linda Lee: very funny, Ken. :-)
	11:23am northguineahills: Not sure why, but I've always like Juliana Hatfield.
	11:24am northguineahills: Jealous, adam. Haven't seen snow this year.
	11:28am northguineahills: Very apropos, Cavern of Anti-Matter into the Lab!
	11:28am Carmichael: Yes! Stereolab!!
	♥ 11:29am Greg from ZONE 5: Great band…or THE GREATEST BAND?!
	11:30am northguineahills: I fully endorse Greg's comment!
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Greg: Great workout song: "I was meant to exercise, it's plain!" :)
	11:31am duke: THE GREATEST BAND
	11:31am Cheri Pi: DAMNIT this brings back memories!!
	11:31am Linda Lee: that sounds more like exOrcise, to me, Joe.
	♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Tracey Thorn and Hollie Cook both on Merge now. Are Merge spreading their wings. Think it was only The Clientele before from this side.
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @Linda: That's just my sense of humor, such as it is, Linda. :)
	♥ 11:33am abutthegreat: Radio on!
	11:33am Linda Lee: just making sure you weren't endorsing anything difficult. :-D
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Linda: Me endorse exercising? Surely you jest! ha ha
	11:36am Linda Lee: whew! :-D
	♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: WFMU is my surrogate John Peel. (x10)
	11:39am northguineahills: I somehow missed this High Llamas album, and I love them!
	11:40am Linda Lee: i just have to love something called 'giddy and gay' ~
	♥ 11:42am Brian in UK: Sean O'Hagen was in Stereolab for a while?
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: @Brian: He was indeed!
	♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: When I saw Arthur Lee in the early Nineties, I think that Sean O'Hagen was backing Arthur (yes me and Arthur were on first names terms!)
	11:49am TDK60: Brian, you knew Arthur Lee?
	♥ 11:49am pavlovsfrog: loving this set!
	11:49am Brendan: Best opening line ever
	♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: @TDK60 no I was taking the mickey out of people that refer to stars by their Christians names as if they know them. I liked his music too much to want to know him if that makes sense.
	11:53am Linda Lee: rather not have his work tainted by his humanity, eh? :-)
	11:54am Linda Lee: makes good sense to me ~ as many creative people are just awful.
	11:56am northguineahills: happy thanks, Joe!
	11:56am TDK60: I'm a Love fan, but I've met enough well-known humans not to be surprised by much.
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Hope you all have a good week this week. This all may be temporary, but it's what we've got. :)
