	♥ 9:26am Joe McG: @Oscar: Ha ha. You have to supply your own heavy breathing.
	9:27am KP in DC: Hello from foggy bottom, joe
	9:28am Diezel Tea: Pantz you ain't alone, but who has the fairer office between us? Mine includes bowls of candy in each common area, and even in some rather uncommon areas. Though, I loathe sugar.
	9:30am northguineahills: @Diezel Tea: Brain is split on going to work or keep on watching the World Cup (American football commentary is awful, so I listen to WFMU while watching. For games that matter, eschucho en espanol).
	♥ 9:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Gizzards! Tempting us will all these marathon premiums.
	9:30am Matt_E: Another Washingtonian checking in. Good morning from Columbia Heights
	♥ 9:30am steveo: I was thinking of making an ironic Freedom Fries joke, but then I realized that half of you would think I was serious. Also, great set. Hello & very happy to be listening; a DJ is saved my life this morning.
	9:30am Matt_E: Loved that Takkatho Aye Mayng number
	9:31am northguineahills: I knew that Gainsbourg cover was from Gary's premium!
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: Hello, Washington! Hello, Fredericks! Hello, all!
	9:33am Diezel Tea: @ngh why not go to work and listen to WFMU because your boss's commentary is also gonna be horrible?))
	9:36am davefromtoronto: nice joe - one of my faves of neil!
	♥ 9:37am N.A.R.D.: Good morning from Virginia Beach, VA! I can't believe it's only 9:36. I feel like I've been at the office forever. Thank glob I have you guys to keep me company!
	9:37am Tomophobic Tom from Detroit: Joe saves Monday morning once again. Please take my......

	9:42am annie: happy to be here this morning, pet-sitting at a mountainside house for three cats and a fat old spaniel. the birdfeders are in full action. and we have a nest of eastern peewees in the carport. breakfast is on the table and the sunshine is wonderful. that's my report..... ohhh, this is a great recording!
	♥ 9:42am Sem: Oh, yah. This is the thing.
	9:42am mb: Great start Joe!
	♥ 9:42am steveo: it's like he's singing about himself now
	9:43am northguineahills: It's only been a month sine you played this! (not complaining ;)
	♥ 9:43am The Oscar: I really like the theory that this song is about his old housekeeper.
	♥ 9:43am MD: Having said the un-PC thing I just said...IT'S GREAT TO BE SOBER ON BEAUTIFUL MONDAY MORNING!
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: @ngh: I'm trying not to be such a stickler about playing things more than once. For a long time, I tried not to repeat any songs ever!
	♥ 9:44am N.A.R.D.: Oh no, Joe! There's too many good songs to never repeat yourself!
	9:47am Diezel Tea: @KP is Pizzeria Paradiso still open on M st in Georgetown? Also, if you're in Foggy Bottom, can we address you as "KP, FB, DC"?
	♥ 9:53am N.A.R.D.: Well "Sword" has a "w" in it, it's awfully wasteful not to pronounce it, isn't it?
	♥ 9:54am MD: I AM so SORE-ED this morning...
	9:55am Howard from Brooklyn: Hey Joe!
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: Hey Howard! Feel better, MD!
	♥ 10:05am steveo: ok so that wasn't intentional? #wfmu
	♥ 10:05am Sem: Just finding my groove with that one, Joe.
	♥ 10:05am Booz: “Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit — all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided.” - Brian Eno, A Year With Swollen Appendices
	♥ 10:06am The Oscar: Anyone else's show and I wouldn't have batted an eye :)
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: @Sem: ha ha @Booz: Nice quote! Carol put a Post-It on CD1 that I didn't believe since I played a CD in it earlier that worked fine. The second one I tried -- not so much.
	10:07am Diezel Tea: I was batting my eyelashes in rhythm to it.
	10:07am βrian: Do the Spanish-speaking stations bombard you with useless stats?
	♥ 10:10am Joe McG: @Brian: A Dios!
	10:12am far out man: Essex Green - "Sixties" is NOT on FMU's playlist
	♥ 10:14am karlward: Uh oh, I feel a James Chance coming on...
	10:15am Parq: G'morning, Joe and all. God, how I used to blast this Tetras instro on my old Radio Shack stereo.
	10:17am rock lobster: tetra- is an aquarium rainbow fish tetra - aquarium rainbow fish
	10:18am Marc Francis: Howdy Joe!
	♥ 10:18am futurescamp: This set is too hot for this weather
	♥ 10:19am karlward: Maybe I was too quick on the James Chance? Maybe I feel Mars coming on instead?
	♥ 10:19am Joe McG: @futurescamp: Ha! :) Howdy, Marc, Parq, karl.
	10:21am Diezel Tea: Goat is perhaps the Voivod of Joe's show?? Yes or no?
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: @Diezel: I think maybe the Poppy Family is the Voivod of my show. :)
	10:25am Diezel Tea: For poppies I patiently wait.))
	10:26am northguineahills: tetra-ancient greek for four.
	♥ 10:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	10:27am Diezel Tea: Greg - what's good in Zone 5?
	♥ 10:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Followers of Bush Tetras are known as Tetrapods, I'll bet.
	10:31am Diezel Tea: Ah damn, man. I can't miss that Lithics on EfD's show, but I think he's on super early out here.
	10:32am βrian: I saw a logo, "Go cats!" [sic] recently. I kept dropping the c and reading it as "Goats!"
	10:40am JakeGould: Hey Joe!
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Hey Jake!
	10:43am far out man: What are followers of Dick Hyman called?
	10:45am JakeGould: Now here is a question… Does anyone here remember hearing O.V. Wright’s “Nickel and a Nail” in a movie soundtrack? Like something from the 1980s? Somehow that song got stuck in my head this weekend and I am baffled why.
	♥ 10:45am Hughie Considine: Here's one from the Golden Age of the story-song.
	♥ 10:45am steveo: wow haven't heard this in ages and ages
	♥ 10:46am tadpoles: Do you have any Lurkers singles Joe? Always listening but lurking this morning.
	10:46am JakeGould: Dick Hyman fans might be referred to as a bag of Dicks.
	10:46am βrian: I'm remembering a Chevy Vega. With 8-track, of course.
	♥ 10:47am Hughie Considine: Helen Reddy hated that "Leave Me Alone" song and didn't want to sing it, but she acquiesced and wept on her way to the bank.
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @hughie: To get you all in the mood for Matt's Story Corner today. @tadpoles: No, never came across any! I mean, for $2.
	♥ 10:47am Krys O.: This song always creeped me out back then.
	♥ 10:48am jillydg: Anyone remember her singing it on Carol Burnett with a thought bubble and Carol dancing within? I have tried to find it but cannot. Perhaps I am living in a world of make-believe?
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Krys: It creeps me out now! :)
	10:49am rw: Wow. This song never creeped me out back then because I guess I never really listened to the lyrics. It creeps me out a little now though!
	♥ 10:49am Hughie Considine: I remember the creepy video ... or maybe it was the Carol Burnett performance. Definitely stuck with me, but the song doesn't have the creep factor without the visuals, is what found.
	♥ 10:50am Guido from Cologne: I have this Manfred Mann single. The most psychedelic from them. I was quite surprised when I found it.
	10:50am JakeGould: I really miss the Carol Burnett show, but man Vikki Lawrence and that Mama character that spawned “Mama’s Family?” That show creeps me out. What era is that supposed to be?
	♥ 10:50am Hughie Considine: @Guido, "Up the Junction" is pretty psychedelic Mann too!
	♥ 10:50am jillydg: Yes, the though bubble seemed to play to the creep factor...
	10:51am Jeezy: Wow, is that the A-side of Manfred Mann?!
	♥ 10:51am Hughie Considine: Jake, it was a funny take on Jim-Crow era life?
	10:52am northguineahills: @jake: I liked but I was a really young kid and only saw it in syndication, so, I missed most of the humor and points.
	♥ 10:52am Guido from Cologne: Marlene! Still arranged by Burt bacharach?
	10:52am JakeGould: @HughieConsidine: I guess you are right, but have you ever attempted to watch that nowadays? Holy crap is that disconcerting.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Jeezy: No, it's the B of "So Long Dad." @Guido: Yup!
	♥ 10:52am Hughie Considine: This song makes me realize how genius the Lili Von Shtupp bit was in Young Frankenstein.
	♥ 10:53am Hughie Considine: @Jake, I haven't seen it in decades, but I imagine it has aged about as well as Ms. Lawrence's hits from the '70s.
	10:53am Aaron in Neukölln: Loving the Marlene Dietrich! Thank you Joe.
	10:54am Cooh John: Sang this song in Catholic grade school.
	10:55am northguineahills: The Prams, not to be confused w/ Pram, which Irwin (and myself) are fond of....
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: @Aaron: You bet. By the way, Aaron, the next record I'm going to play is from a Newark-based record company.
	10:57am Listener Alexandra: Top of the morning to you, Joe! Freat show so far--I haven't heard that Helen Reddy song in forever!
	10:58am northguineahills: fiddle me this, fiddle me that....
	10:59am annie: oh, great tune... aabb
	11:00am far out man: hoedown!
	11:04am Rob Gee: woah 'angie baby' brought me right back to 1974. haven't heard that song since then.
	11:06am Rob Gee: i'm very fond of Pram (90's) also :)
	11:06am Carmichael: Heya Joe and music lovers.
	♥ 11:07am Dominick: Hey, It's Matt!
	11:08am Jeff Conklin: Sounding good in beach traffic.
	♥ 11:09am The Oscar: I love duets where someone tells Ray Charles to look at something.
	11:10am Brendan: Hiya Joe.
	11:15am Dan B: hiya Joe & Matt, sounding good.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: Heya, Brendan and Dan! Havin' fun, great picks so far from Matt!
	♥ 11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: JMC Gasko loves the hippity hop!
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: You know me, Greg, I'm all about the hop hip.
	11:27am northguineahills: Somehow have never heard this Roberta Flack....
	♥ 11:30am pantz: This isn't Morphine?
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @pantz: Pre-Morphine!
	♥ 11:31am pantz: A-Ha! Thanks, Joe.
	♥ 11:32am The Oscar: The vocals for this one are nearly Joe Meek-y.
	♥ 11:34am Artie: Loving it, Matt.
	♥ 11:35am pantz: I've had Rocky Mountain Oysters but never a Colorado Kool-Aid.
	♥ 11:36am The Oscar: WOW that escalated quickly!
	11:37am βrian: What is Colorado Cool-Aid, exactly?
	11:38am rw: Coors
	♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Exercise for another show: play fifty songs where each song is about the official state drink of the state.
	11:41am herb.nyc: oh to see some Cole Porter songs done on the stage. i'm a theater geek. (i just saw TRAVESTIES last month, and it's wild, and confusing. it closed yest but on saturday, i snuck in during intermission. and was still wowed.)
	11:42am northguineahills: It's not a Monday morning w/o Sandy Denny!!!!!!
	11:43am northguineahills: I really need to really up my Johnny Paycheck game!!!
	11:43am herb.nyc: as Ken Hyde Park mentioned 50songs, i saw part 2 of the Magnetic Fields 50song Memoir. this be sat night at the lovely apollo theater. of course it was just terrific (aside: lotsa empty seats, and i got my ticket at stubhub. the $45 face ticket was $18, but add $7 fees. and at the door, the man v nicely upgraded me from upper balcony to lower balcony. thx!)
	11:43am rw: Joe, give your guest a credit on the playlist
	11:43am northguineahills: βrian: hopefully, it's not Guyanese Flavor-Aid!
	♥ 11:43am Dominick: Sure is good
	11:44am herb.nyc: hmm, Weyes Blood would make a nice female singer to follow Ella and Sandy.
	11:44am northguineahills: (sister-in-law is Guyanese, I make Jonestown jokes to her family sparingly...)
	11:45am northguineahills: jelly, herb.nyc!
	11:46am Roberto: We're all forgiven!
	♥ 11:46am Dominick: 4 guys, 3 tracks

	♥ 11:50am steveo: "The Who had 10 minutes left to fill on the LP. Kit Lambert, The Who's manager, suggested to Pete Townshend that he write "something linear... perhaps a 10 minute song." Townshend responded by saying that rock songs are '2:50 by tradition!' Lambert then told Townshend that he should write a 10-minute story comprised of 2:50 songs." [from the internet]
	♥ 11:50am Krys O.: Rock n Roll Circus is AMAZING, especially the Who's performance.
	11:50am Maria D: This song is pure happiness
	♥ 11:51am tadpoles: @steveo if memory serves the Rolling Stones held up the release of RNR Circus because the Who upstaged them! Who knows!

	♥ 9:14am Joe McG: Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the show!
	♥ 9:17am Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, Joe. Turn up the heat! I guess that's not necessary today. Just spinning platters will be enough.

	9:27am KP in DC: Hello from foggy bottom, joe
	9:28am Diezel Tea: Pantz you ain't alone, but who has the fairer office between us? Mine includes bowls of candy in each common area, and even in some rather uncommon areas. Though, I loathe sugar.
	9:30am northguineahills: @Diezel Tea: Brain is split on going to work or keep on watching the World Cup (American football commentary is awful, so I listen to WFMU while watching. For games that matter, eschucho en espanol).
	♥ 9:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Gizzards! Tempting us will all these marathon premiums.
	9:30am Matt_E: Another Washingtonian checking in. Good morning from Columbia Heights

	9:31am northguineahills: I knew that Gainsbourg cover was from Gary's premium!
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: Hello, Washington! Hello, Fredericks! Hello, all!
	9:33am Diezel Tea: @ngh why not go to work and listen to WFMU because your boss's commentary is also gonna be horrible?))
	9:36am davefromtoronto: nice joe - one of my faves of neil!

	♥ 9:42am Sem: Oh, yah. This is the thing.
	9:42am mb: Great start Joe!

	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: @ngh: I'm trying not to be such a stickler about playing things more than once. For a long time, I tried not to repeat any songs ever!
	♥ 9:44am N.A.R.D.: Oh no, Joe! There's too many good songs to never repeat yourself!
	9:47am Diezel Tea: @KP is Pizzeria Paradiso still open on M st in Georgetown? Also, if you're in Foggy Bottom, can we address you as "KP, FB, DC"?
	♥ 9:53am N.A.R.D.: Well "Sword" has a "w" in it, it's awfully wasteful not to pronounce it, isn't it?
	♥ 9:54am MD: I AM so SORE-ED this morning...
	9:55am Howard from Brooklyn: Hey Joe!
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: Hey Howard! Feel better, MD!

	♥ 10:05am Sem: Just finding my groove with that one, Joe.
	♥ 10:05am Booz: “Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit — all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided.” - Brian Eno, A Year With Swollen Appendices
	♥ 10:06am The Oscar: Anyone else's show and I wouldn't have batted an eye :)
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: @Sem: ha ha @Booz: Nice quote! Carol put a Post-It on CD1 that I didn't believe since I played a CD in it earlier that worked fine. The second one I tried -- not so much.
	10:07am Diezel Tea: I was batting my eyelashes in rhythm to it.
	10:07am βrian: Do the Spanish-speaking stations bombard you with useless stats?

	10:18am Marc Francis: Howdy Joe!
	♥ 10:18am futurescamp: This set is too hot for this weather
	♥ 10:19am karlward: Maybe I was too quick on the James Chance? Maybe I feel Mars coming on instead?
	♥ 10:19am Joe McG: @futurescamp: Ha! :) Howdy, Marc, Parq, karl.
	10:21am Diezel Tea: Goat is perhaps the Voivod of Joe's show?? Yes or no?

	♥ 10:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Followers of Bush Tetras are known as Tetrapods, I'll bet.
	10:31am Diezel Tea: Ah damn, man. I can't miss that Lithics on EfD's show, but I think he's on super early out here.

	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Hey Jake!
	10:43am far out man: What are followers of Dick Hyman called?
	10:45am JakeGould: Now here is a question… Does anyone here remember hearing O.V. Wright’s “Nickel and a Nail” in a movie soundtrack? Like something from the 1980s? Somehow that song got stuck in my head this weekend and I am baffled why.
	♥ 10:45am Hughie Considine: Here's one from the Golden Age of the story-song.
	♥ 10:45am steveo: wow haven't heard this in ages and ages
	♥ 10:46am tadpoles: Do you have any Lurkers singles Joe? Always listening but lurking this morning.
	10:46am JakeGould: Dick Hyman fans might be referred to as a bag of Dicks.
	10:46am βrian: I'm remembering a Chevy Vega. With 8-track, of course.
	♥ 10:47am Hughie Considine: Helen Reddy hated that "Leave Me Alone" song and didn't want to sing it, but she acquiesced and wept on her way to the bank.
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @hughie: To get you all in the mood for Matt's Story Corner today. @tadpoles: No, never came across any! I mean, for $2.
	♥ 10:47am Krys O.: This song always creeped me out back then.
	♥ 10:48am jillydg: Anyone remember her singing it on Carol Burnett with a thought bubble and Carol dancing within? I have tried to find it but cannot. Perhaps I am living in a world of make-believe?
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Krys: It creeps me out now! :)
	10:49am rw: Wow. This song never creeped me out back then because I guess I never really listened to the lyrics. It creeps me out a little now though!
	♥ 10:49am Hughie Considine: I remember the creepy video ... or maybe it was the Carol Burnett performance. Definitely stuck with me, but the song doesn't have the creep factor without the visuals, is what found.
	♥ 10:50am Guido from Cologne: I have this Manfred Mann single. The most psychedelic from them. I was quite surprised when I found it.
	10:50am JakeGould: I really miss the Carol Burnett show, but man Vikki Lawrence and that Mama character that spawned “Mama’s Family?” That show creeps me out. What era is that supposed to be?
	♥ 10:50am Hughie Considine: @Guido, "Up the Junction" is pretty psychedelic Mann too!
	♥ 10:50am jillydg: Yes, the though bubble seemed to play to the creep factor...
	10:51am Jeezy: Wow, is that the A-side of Manfred Mann?!
	♥ 10:51am Hughie Considine: Jake, it was a funny take on Jim-Crow era life?
	10:52am northguineahills: @jake: I liked but I was a really young kid and only saw it in syndication, so, I missed most of the humor and points.
	♥ 10:52am Guido from Cologne: Marlene! Still arranged by Burt bacharach?
	10:52am JakeGould: @HughieConsidine: I guess you are right, but have you ever attempted to watch that nowadays? Holy crap is that disconcerting.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Jeezy: No, it's the B of "So Long Dad." @Guido: Yup!
	♥ 10:52am Hughie Considine: This song makes me realize how genius the Lili Von Shtupp bit was in Young Frankenstein.
	♥ 10:53am Hughie Considine: @Jake, I haven't seen it in decades, but I imagine it has aged about as well as Ms. Lawrence's hits from the '70s.
	10:53am Aaron in Neukölln: Loving the Marlene Dietrich! Thank you Joe.
	10:54am Cooh John: Sang this song in Catholic grade school.
	10:55am northguineahills: The Prams, not to be confused w/ Pram, which Irwin (and myself) are fond of....
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: @Aaron: You bet. By the way, Aaron, the next record I'm going to play is from a Newark-based record company.
	10:57am Listener Alexandra: Top of the morning to you, Joe! Freat show so far--I haven't heard that Helen Reddy song in forever!

	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: Heya, Brendan and Dan! Havin' fun, great picks so far from Matt!

	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: You know me, Greg, I'm all about the hop hip.
	11:27am northguineahills: Somehow have never heard this Roberta Flack....
	♥ 11:30am pantz: This isn't Morphine?
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @pantz: Pre-Morphine!
	♥ 11:31am pantz: A-Ha! Thanks, Joe.
	♥ 11:32am The Oscar: The vocals for this one are nearly Joe Meek-y.
	♥ 11:34am Artie: Loving it, Matt.
	♥ 11:35am pantz: I've had Rocky Mountain Oysters but never a Colorado Kool-Aid.
	♥ 11:36am The Oscar: WOW that escalated quickly!
	11:37am βrian: What is Colorado Cool-Aid, exactly?
	11:38am rw: Coors
	♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Exercise for another show: play fifty songs where each song is about the official state drink of the state.
	11:41am herb.nyc: oh to see some Cole Porter songs done on the stage. i'm a theater geek. (i just saw TRAVESTIES last month, and it's wild, and confusing. it closed yest but on saturday, i snuck in during intermission. and was still wowed.)

	11:43am herb.nyc: as Ken Hyde Park mentioned 50songs, i saw part 2 of the Magnetic Fields 50song Memoir. this be sat night at the lovely apollo theater. of course it was just terrific (aside: lotsa empty seats, and i got my ticket at stubhub. the $45 face ticket was $18, but add $7 fees. and at the door, the man v nicely upgraded me from upper balcony to lower balcony. thx!)
	11:43am rw: Joe, give your guest a credit on the playlist
	11:43am northguineahills: βrian: hopefully, it's not Guyanese Flavor-Aid!
	♥ 11:43am Dominick: Sure is good
	11:44am herb.nyc: hmm, Weyes Blood would make a nice female singer to follow Ella and Sandy.
	11:44am northguineahills: (sister-in-law is Guyanese, I make Jonestown jokes to her family sparingly...)

	♥ 11:50am steveo: "The Who had 10 minutes left to fill on the LP. Kit Lambert, The Who's manager, suggested to Pete Townshend that he write "something linear... perhaps a 10 minute song." Townshend responded by saying that rock songs are '2:50 by tradition!' Lambert then told Townshend that he should write a 10-minute story comprised of 2:50 songs." [from the internet]
	♥ 11:50am Krys O.: Rock n Roll Circus is AMAZING, especially the Who's performance.
