	🎸 ♥ 9:18am melinda: Morning all! I really like the kinder musik.
	9:18am mb: Hola Joe and crew!
	♥ 9:18am northguineahills: My brain won't activate, but everything else is copaceptic.
	♥ 9:18am CHUCK ROAST: In Glen Burnie, MD the marimba provides such great stress relief
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am steveo: today i saw a guy on his bike in manhattan with a loudspeaker playing a tune similar to this one with a chopstick in his manbun
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am melinda: ngh copaceptic doesn't sound good
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am b!!!: This set is delightful!
	9:20am Thwacko: Absolutely love today's playlist, Joe. Never really listened to your show before.
	♥ 9:20am Rob (Jerzcity): @pantz - i was trying to place it, and that's it!
	♥ 9:21am Guido from Cologne: Hello Joe and everyone!
	♥ 9:24am Joe McG: Welcome, Thwacko! It's different every week, but you might like it sometimes~!
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am The Oscar: I suppose this title should properly be "Come On and Skank," which would be pretty funny for Woody Herman to say.
	♥ 9:25am dutchtheo: Hey cool!, Independence Day (Jamaica), howdy
	♥ 9:27am northguineahills: Can't go wrong w/ a name like Lee Hazlewood's Woodchucks....
	9:28am Brendan: That’s OK let that bed music breathe like a fine wine Joe. Good morning!
	♥ 9:30am CHUCK ROAST: My work vehicle went down this A.M. Enjoying an unexpected mid-day break listening to you, Joe. Although, I'd still be tuned if I were at work.
	♥ 9:31am Sebastian: True Romance
	9:31am peter64: badlands!
	🎸 ♥ 9:31am The Oscar: THAT'S where I know that Orff piece! Just saw Badlands for the first time a few weeks ago-- great movie.
	♥ 9:31am Rob (Jerzcity): @pantz - actually maybe not. the search continues
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am karlward: I refuse to get excited until they find the lost Lee Hazelwood grindcore album.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am melinda: I thought the kinder musik sounded familiar too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am pantz: I believe True Romance might be it @Rob. It sounds similar though.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am steveo: that's my favorite line from joeeph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat
	♥ 9:33am Sebastian: definitely True Romance
	♥ 9:33am Rob (Jerzcity): yup - didn't realize the answer was right there. the search is over
	9:36am Vincent Nifigance: You're all right! 'Intertextuality and thematic development. From Badlands to True Romance' curatingthecontemporary.org...
	9:36am Vincent Nifigance: TLDR: "Home Hans Zimmer’s produced score for True Romance (1993) pays homage to Terrence Malick’s debut feature Badlands (1973). The two films exist in comparable harmony through both musical scoring, and narrative themes. Inspired by its forerunner, True Romance director Tony Scott envisioned a soundtrack which held an acute awareness of the Badlands theme ‘Gassenhauer’ from Musica Poetica"
	♥ 9:38am Joe McG: @CHUCK: Sorry to hear about the vehicle, but glad you're with us! @karl: Ha ha!
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am The Oscar: I'd like to see True Romance recut as a lyrical Malick-style meditation. Alternately, I'd like to see Terence Malick make a movie with Gary Oldman as a Rastafarian pimp.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am tadpoles: These last 2 bands sound very Flying Nun Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45am The Oscar: Great title on this one.
	♥ 9:45am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Good call. Maybe I'll play some actual Flying Nun!
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, blisteringly hot over here. On Malick. Loved Nestor Almeindros' camera work in Days of Heaven.
	9:49am emily: nice to here the "Go-Betweens". used to love them
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am pantz: It's so hot... I saw two trees fighting over a dog! (Dad Joke Corner)
	9:52am sinner: NZ jangle.....pierces my heart...
	9:55am djsheilab: Lois!
	9:55am queems: my mom is digging the show fyi
	9:55am Fletchernyc: Love Lois! I would always sing this song to my kids as a lullaby.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am melinda: Days of Heaven is a beautiful movie. Another great choice of intro music with that one, something by St. Saens.
	9:56am emily: this set is breaking my heart
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: @Sheila: I love that version. Remember when Yvonne did it at HNM? @queems: I love when moms like the show! @emily: Things might get worse before they get better, but 45s are inevitable!
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am lukavino: i found that Look Blue Go Purple collection in the USED bin. disgraceful.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am lukavino: my gain, though.
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @lukavino: Lucky score!
	♥ 9:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	♥ 10:00am βrian: 93% humidity on the isthmus this morning. Not too hot though. Surface Noise is sustaining.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am officina: Wonderful show Joe. Didn't know that version of the Zombies tune...beautiful.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am lukavino: extremely lucky, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am pantz: The skies will be dark tonight because all of the stars are on this setlist.
	10:02am JakeGould: Hey Joe! So nasty in NYC nowdays. Hot cool tip for anyone around the Village: The Cooper Square post office on 4th Avenue around the corner from the Strand has a HUGE standup air conditioner. You can stand in front of it and just cool off. Nobody cares because it’s the post office!
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am Brian in UK: Wistful set?
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: @officina: Very pretty! Hey Jack and Brian, melinda, all!
	♥ 10:04am Passaic River Blues: @Jake: that is pretty useful intel--thank you, sir.
	10:05am JakeGould: Also, you could stand in a huge walk-in freezer if you wish… But not like that guy at that brunch place on the Upper West Side yesterday. Who stays in a freezer overnight in a brunch place and then attacks staff in weather like this?
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am steveo: this is the one that pushes me over the edge; 1975 is like that (don't worry i'll be ok)
	♥ 10:06am Mike East: I always thought this song was called "Meet Me in the Middle"
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Krys O.: I say unashamedly that I love Sister Golden Hair.
	10:09am JakeGould: @KrysO: It’s a beautiful song. You should be proud. Oh, I also revisited all of the Boomtown Rats discography. And honestly Bob Geldoff really thinks he’s a punk Mick Jagger. But I enjoy their hits!
	10:10am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning Mr.Joe and friends. Pulling up late today but as the saying goes, "who took my damn coffee?!?"
	10:11am will: Joe strains the limits of credulity by playing Sister Golden Hair but then the McGasko Effect takes hold, and we love it!
	10:11am JakeGould: Who let the dogs out? When I put my hand on your hit I dip you dip we dip? It’s Chinatown!!!
	♥ 10:12am βrian: I suppose it's too humid to play Summer Breeze.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12am Krys O.: This Dressy Bessy is tangentially making me think of Letters to Cleo who were in 10 Things I Hate About You which oddly enough has Heath Ledger's character name drop the Raincoats.
	10:12am JakeGould: Sorry, that was really more non-contextual that usual.
	♥ 10:13am Joe McG: @Krys: I kinda like Letters to Cleo's big hit.
	♥ 10:14am annie: oopps, huge mistake ... it's monday... and i'm late to the dance! good morning everyone!
	10:15am Marc Francis: Oh man! I cam very late to the game in regards to this Macca album! I bought it a few months back and it is SO DAMN GOOD.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am tadpoles: Some Ringo and John related would be perfect.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am pantz: Wasn't Ram the album Lennon railed Macca on, for being a sellout?
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Krys O.: @Joe: So did I. The movie was from 1999 and had a great soundtrack.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Krys O.: Yeah, pantz. That prompted the famous pic of Lennon with a pig, but Ram rules nonetheless.
	10:18am Marc Francis: @pantz: i think Lennon was pissed off at McCartney because he took a swipe at him with one of the lines in a song.
	10:18am melinda: Disappointed to see that I missed Sister Goldenhair while in transit.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am Brian in UK: I think John Lennon was getting matey with a pig, whereas Paul McCartney anticipates Ramdom Access Memory.
	♥ 10:19am Little Danny: Mornin' Joe, all
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am steveo: refreshingly cello-free
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am tadpoles: #pantz....I think it was just called "McCartney". Isn't that the one with the fucking beetles photo on the back?
	10:23am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe! Greetings from the Left Coast :-)
	♥ 10:23am Scott Williams: Twas "Ram" that featured copulating Beetles: goo.gl...
	♥ 10:23am βrian: Can beetles even do that?
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Krys O.: Thanks for the Slavic sounds, Joe!
	10:25am JakeGould: @Brian: Nature can be disgusting and nasty. Every see a pigeon be a bully for no reason? I have. That’s why I now like sparrows… They are a lot nicer.
	♥ 10:27am Little Danny: Holy crap, this is Barış Manço?!
	10:27am sispus: oh my!!!
	♥ 10:27am Passaic River Blues: @Little Danny: my mind is blown as well.
	♥ 10:28am maestroso: @Little Danny I was just thinking that...
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Brian in UK: Never trust a weasel.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Uncle Michael: You're making me happy this morning, Joe.
	10:30am Uhnnohn: oops. I thought my internet connection dropped.
	10:32am sinner: @UM: Cubs on feugo.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Krys O.: Where do you think little beetles come from?
	10:34am JakeGould: @KrysO: Why do you have to give us imagery?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am lukavino: DOG IN THE STUDIO
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am steveo: lol; dog Joe is great
	♥ 10:35am Sem: Greets, Joe, McGaskoes, and noisey ones just beneath the surface.
	10:35am queems: sometimes you have to just hang out with dogs
	10:36am melinda: That was sweet
	♥ 10:36am northguineahills: Had a lovely Monday. The boiler became schizophrenic when I was in shower, so it was either scalding hot, or frigid. Then, I had to water the garden, as it's the first time since late March it hasn't rained in two days straight. Of course, the handle on the spigot broke off and got me soaked while wearing my meeting office garb (still soaked). Joe keep me sane this morning!
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am The Oscar: Is there a "Dogs of WFMU" gallery anywhere? I'd like to see faces to go with all the dogs who occasionally wander on-mic.
	10:38am Satis-factory records: Dogs make everything better
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Uncle Michael: Wrong kind of fire, Brother Sinner. Fortunately the Brewers aren't playing any better. I'm going to see the Cubs in KC tomorrow.
	♥ 10:40am northguineahills: I'd like to get a dog, but I'm at work all day long, and my office has a lab w/ dangerous chemicals, so, it would probably be a bad idea to bring a mutt into the office (I want to have a dog again).
	♥ 10:40am fred: Good morning Joe and Yipsters
	♥ 10:40am peapod ross: @ngh Good lord. I believe boiler talk is a perennial 7SD topic. Perhaps you can talk Ken into making that the theme for this weeks show.
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: @Uncle Michael: I'm glad! Hi, Alexandra! Hey, fred, peapod, steveo, Jake, Sem...
	♥ 10:44am fred: @The Oscar: there might be one, and I think many of them were picture in the adoption gallery and/or the mascot gallery, which are probably accessible somewhere
	10:44am melinda: I like it when dogs come into the store where I work. Except for the two that stank and the one that left a drool puddle.
	10:45am ilana: a perfectly vibin' show today joe!
	10:46am Listener Alexandra: Aww...this was on our wedding playlist :-)
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am Brian in UK: Joe, have you got Ethan' Johns new album ANAMNESIS, out this week. Hoping to see him in a couple of weeks.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47am Krys O.: Jake: I didn't bring up copulatin' beetles.
	10:47am djsheilab: I love this Police single.
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: Hey, Ilana! @Alex: So glad! @Brian: No, but I'd be curious to hear it! @Sheila: Rare Single File forethought about to occur.... :)
	♥ 10:48am northguineahills: You hit it on the nose, peapod ross, I've heard him discuss boilers many times. This time, I'm not in NYC, and just have my own house, and the boiler was installed 2 years ago (according to my landlord), and it looks to me a modern model.
	♥ 10:49am northguineahills: @Sheilab: As according to Uncle Michael, there are no guilty pleasures, and I dig the Police (well, some songs, like this one).
	♥ 10:49am foofs: Every little thing she does is magic Conjures paper flowers in a vase From her little top hat pops a rabbit Pulls a string of flags out of her arse
	♥ 10:49am Jeff Moore: Well judged, Joe! I think you waited just enough decades before playing this Police song for me to be ready to actually enjoy it again!
	10:49am melinda: I like this Police too.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50am Krys O.: Ahhhh, excellent choice! This Sheila Hylton track was on a Taxi comp that I used to check out from the public library in my hometown.
	10:51am djsheilab: NGH—I'm trying to part ways with the whole guilty pleasure idea as well. Although I do still blush when admitting to certain musical loves.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @Krys: I have that one! :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:51am Krys O.: Sly & Robbie Present Taxi: www.discogs.com...
	10:51am djsheilab: Love this Sheila Hylton as well!
	🎸 ♥ 10:51am tadpoles: #ngh....you need an indirect hot water tank separate from the boiler.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Sheila: It's kinda tropical pop!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am Krys O.: I grew up on the poor side o' town and had to check out LPs at the public library. I taped radio shows too.
	♥ 10:53am Wendy del Formaggio: Krys O. Did you see the Grace Jones documentary that was in theaters the last few months? Some Sly & Robbie bits in that film. It wasn't the best doc I've seen, but two hours of watching Grace Jones do her stuff made it worth it.
	10:53am djsheilab: Joe McG—Indeed it is!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am Krys O.: COLIN!!!!! <3
	10:53am paul: Propical
	10:54am paul: ™
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am Brian in UK: The beds too big the frying pans too wide.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am Krys O.: I'll have to check that out. Thanks, Wendy!
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: Colin Blunstone sings like an angel.
	10:55am holland oats: love this man
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am tadpoles: Yes Joe and to have it on a 45 is heaven.
	10:56am JakeGould: @NGH: Utterly no such things as “guilty pleasures.” And some of the Police is tolerable… Then you have tracks like “Mother” off of “Synchronicity” or “Be My Girl.” Bleagh!!
	10:56am Dean: Was thinking just this morning of Dylan's Infidels album, which features Sly & Robbie, all for the better.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58am Brian in UK: Joe, you have dogs in the studio, we have chickens in the house. Escaped from the run.
	♥ 10:58am peapod ross: wtf Thirtheen Floor Segervators
	♥ 10:59am northguineahills: @tadpoles: If this happens again, I'll bring it up w/ the landlord. Unlike NYC, he actually responds to my requests (and actually a nice guy, lives two houses down).
	♥ 11:00am peapod ross: he should have just stayed doing this.
	♥ 11:00am Nate K.: Very excited this early Seger is available again. I have "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" and "Mongrel," but the Cameo stuff has eluded me.
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Brian: Sorry to hear about the escapee chickens. Maybe they're in a better place now.
	11:00am Chi Bill: Well, about time. :>) Early Seger rocks!!!
	♥ 11:01am peapod ross: i learned something today. Thanks Joe
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @Nate K.: Me, too! I was going to save it for Story Corner (sad Johnny story), but I can always play it again when we get the CD at WFMU.
	♥ 11:01am northguineahills: I bombed my house last night (I just had to cuddle w/ the neighborhood cats) for fleas. I went to a honky-tonk outside of town (I went exploring), and it was full of punks and progressive rednecks. Had some fun conversations.
	♥ 11:01am coelacanth∅: foofs @10.49 haha, magic!
	♥ 11:09am slugluv1313: thanks, Joe, for "Ain't Understanding Mellow" -- i fell in love with that song when i was a kid and it was a "hit single," STILL gives me goosebumps all these years later :)
	11:09am Dean: No, most beautiful voice in the human race has to include Conchita Supervia among the candidates.
	11:11am melinda: Sting fouled the bath water, it's true.
	11:13am Dean: The Police went out of fashion for me c.1979, during a performance at the Whisky, when I yawned one time too many.
	♥ 11:13am northguineahills: I actually like "some" of Sting's solo work. (it's a short list)/
	♥ 11:14am coelacanth∅: well, Stewart Copeland songs (outstanding drumming he is not withstanding) ensured from the start that the bathwater had some crud floating around in it.
	♥ 11:15am Passaic River Blues: That was some choice Iceman and Eager in the last set.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @slugluv and PRB: Glad you guys love that record, too!
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am Brian in UK: @coelacanth∅ Stewart Copeland and I are twins, born on the same day/year.
	♥ 11:18am coelacanth∅: ..eh i shouldn't say that. Sting had some shitty songs right from the start too. and Copeland's got better by ghost... i like many of their early songs too though
	♥ 11:20am Nate K.: Jeez, Bonnie Bramlett was clearly the best singer on the original Roseanne, if not on the planet.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @Nate: Ha ha!
	♥ 11:21am coelacanth∅: Brian really? does Sting's ego make you cringe at the same times it makes Stewart cringe?
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am doctorjazz: Struck me as well what great pipes Bonnie had. Haven't heard her in a while now.
	🎸 ♥ 11:22am doctorjazz: (but, she does have a vibrato that bugs me a bit ,but I'm a finicky listener)
	11:22am Marc Francis: CHOOOOOOON
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am steveo: at the end of d&b i hit my desk just where i expected a big drum hit but no drums came over the wire
	♥ 11:26am GeorgeSimian: Does anybody else think Janis Joplin kind of sucks? She just screams through all her songs.
	11:27am melinda: I remember that bit on Roseanne, it was great.
	11:28am JakeGould: “Ghost in the Machine” and “Regatta De Blanc” are still rock solid.
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am tadpoles: Sorry GeorgeSimian I'm all in favor of "each to his own"..but no. I was just thinking during "Piece of my Heart" how Janis blows Bonnie away.
	♥ 11:30am βrian: Apropos of nothing, I saw a flatbed truck carrying a monstrously huge, gold-colored burial vault this morning. Seems like such a waste.
	11:31am SueAdynamo: Joplin has soul and is able to express it vocally. she is not gifted with the pipes but she had the heart. also she prob smoked - bad girl!
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @SueA: I love to see and read her interviews, too. She's so funny and smart.
	11:32am Dean: It's worth watching Dick Cavett's interviews with Janis. You can tell he really dug her.
	♥ 11:33am GeorgeSimian: Feel like she has one note. The originals of Piece of My Heart and Bobby McGee are so much better.
	♥ 11:33am Passaic River Blues: Enjoying this Cold Blood, damn.
	♥ 11:33am northguineahills: Oh, at said honky-tonk, I met a Mexi from Jersey City. And I was wearing an WFMU shirt.
	11:34am Marc Francis: Let Me Down Easy = CHOOOOOOON
	11:34am JakeGould: @GeorgeSimian: Depends on perspective. For example, I still like “Led Zeppelin.” But the older I get the more I realize they really just ripped off pretty much everything from others so blatantly I’m not too sure how important they are to me in that way anymore. Still… “Physical Graffiti” is great.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: @coelacanth∅ no time for him. You seen those photographs of him with an outsize stetson. He needs one that big.
	11:35am mb: Thought this "Let Me Down Easy" was a Bette Lavette re-do. Nice surprise from '69.
	♥ 11:35am Nate K.: @Melinda do you remember what song BB sang on "Roseanne"? I want to say "Dark End of the Street," but that seems too cool.
	11:36am JakeGould: Sting is tedious. Still will admit the “Dream of the Blue Turtles” tour was my first concert ever. And wore that t-shirt I proudly paid $30 in 1980s money to death.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: @JakeGould play Trampled Underfoot at 11. No 12.
	11:37am Dean: A bunch of LPs in a row
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Brian in UK: Etta James lurking around here.
	♥ 11:38am coelacanth∅: George, yes. just kind of though. absurdly overrated; but she hit some high points too, at times. the 2 big brother & holding co albums are excellent - probably because she was just a member and not in charge. and even after she decided she needed all the attention for herself she did some great things. her singing itself though? yeah often pretty horrible.
	♥ 11:39am Nate K.: This is a fantastic set, Joe.
	11:39am JakeGould: @Brian: In my mind I can play “Custard Pie” at noon.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Dean: You guessed what they have in common! ;)
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth∅: ...and ghost in the machine is a truly excellent album, in my opinion! ...and Kathi's killin' it!
	♥ 11:40am GeorgeSimian: I think Janis had a great epic voice, but it was just one note. I'm listening to this Kathi McDonald and hearing so much more.
	♥ 11:41am coelacanth∅: βrian @11.30 yeah that shit should be illegal
	11:41am Dean: I'm smart that way, @Joe McG, very observant. I like Janis, now these many years after first hearing her and not thinking twice about her. But then the same goes for Joe Cocker.
	11:41am JakeGould: @GeorgeSimian: The exact same things can be said about Joe Cocker.
	♥ 11:41am Nate K.: I had to look up Kathi McDonald. Apparently she was an Ikette briefly.
	11:41am JakeGould: @Dean: Jinx!!!
	11:41am Dean: Jinx, @JakeGould!
	11:42am Dean: Jink-times-a-million!
	11:42am JakeGould: Jinx!
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Krys O.: Cool! Ellen McIlwaine is sadly obscure. Thanks again, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am steveo: i shot the sheriff, but i was NOT up on choctaw ridge
	11:45am lee of Grangemouth: Fully committed performances on all of these selections. Very good.
	11:46am melinda: @Nate You Really Got a Hold on Me
	♥ 11:46am Nate K.: David Allen Coe's kid does a country music history podcast and the episode on Bobbie Gentry and "Ode" is incredible and highly recommended.
	♥ 11:46am coelacanth∅: Janis was indeed smart and funny. interviews are very entertaining but also laid it right out how patheticly insecure she was.
	♥ 11:46am Nate K.: @Melinda, yes, thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am steveo: well, that version has a confession dunnit?
	🎸 ♥ 11:47am Brian in UK: Joe, some great sets today. Thanks.
	11:47am Chi Bill: Yes, Ellen came on the scene then kind of quiet, (stupid commercial radio). Nice show, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 11:47am Krys O.: Janis was bullied horribly when she lived in Texas. She carried that with her into career.
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian! Thanks, Chi Bill! @Nate: Did he do one about his dad?
	11:47am peter64: you’re killing it today joe
	11:48am Dean: A year or so ago I played Aretha on the home system. My then 11YO looked up and announced, "That woman can sing."
	♥ 11:49am coelacanth∅: Krys, right. it's saddening she couldn't let go of that.
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am steveo: ok my bad, just misremembered the original; carry on
	11:50am melinda: @Nate you're welcome!
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: Thanks, peter64! @Dean: I like that story!
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am doctorjazz: The Janis Doc is really good (don't love most music docs). My 25 year old daughter, who is a singer/actress and loves contemporary music, is in awe of Aretha (I'm proud of that.. Now if I can only get my other daughter to listen to something that's not punk or metal...)
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: Late good morning, Joe and Joe-kers. We're off to explore the zoo at Assiniboine Park. It's a lovely day here up north.
	♥ 11:53am coelacanth∅: i don't know,doc, i might be thankful it's punk and metal and not rap.
	11:54am Dean: @doctorjazz: To echo my comment upstream, you might introduce your punk/metal daughter to Conchita Supervia. Or Josephine Baker? Nina Simone? These are musicians at least as cool as the best punk or metal.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Hey friends, I've got to go. Stay tuned for Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock. Have a great week, everybody, and be with you again soon. Hope something fine comes your way.
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am steveo: thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am coelacanth∅: i'm not a parent, but i think one should think carefully before being the one to introduce certain music to your kids
	11:57am Anita in Morristown: Love this album. Bought it in 1971 when it came out. Saw Janis with Big Brother at the Fillmore East Theatre in New York 1968. You're really bringing on some awesome memories. Mother Earth album 1971
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am doctorjazz: (my older one, who's more open to new things, will recite raps word for word, I'm OK with that). I just go with the flow, going to hear 2 punk-pop groups this month with the youngin' Great show, Joe, thanks!
	11:57am mb: Thx Joe!
	11:57am Brendan: Thanks Joe!
	11:57am queems: thanks joe! my whole family enjoyed the show today
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Krys O.: Thanks for another great show, Joe! Take care!
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe
	♥ 11:59am slugluv1313: thank-you so much for another fantastic show, Joe! have a great week!
	♥ 12:00pm northguineahills: Gracias, Joe!
	♥ 12:04pm slugluv1313: @ Anita in Morristown -- jealous! never got to see Janis (was "underage") but loved her when i was a kid that last set was killer -- Kathi McDonald (is she still around???), Lydia Pense, Bonnie Bramlett, Tracy Nelson . . . agreed, tons of wonderful memories! (only one "missing" is Merry Clayton :) )

	9:18am mb: Hola Joe and crew!
	♥ 9:18am northguineahills: My brain won't activate, but everything else is copaceptic.
	♥ 9:18am CHUCK ROAST: In Glen Burnie, MD the marimba provides such great stress relief
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am steveo: today i saw a guy on his bike in manhattan with a loudspeaker playing a tune similar to this one with a chopstick in his manbun
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am melinda: ngh copaceptic doesn't sound good
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am b!!!: This set is delightful!
	9:20am Thwacko: Absolutely love today's playlist, Joe. Never really listened to your show before.
	♥ 9:20am Rob (Jerzcity): @pantz - i was trying to place it, and that's it!
	♥ 9:21am Guido from Cologne: Hello Joe and everyone!
	♥ 9:24am Joe McG: Welcome, Thwacko! It's different every week, but you might like it sometimes~!
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am The Oscar: I suppose this title should properly be "Come On and Skank," which would be pretty funny for Woody Herman to say.
	♥ 9:25am dutchtheo: Hey cool!, Independence Day (Jamaica), howdy
	♥ 9:27am northguineahills: Can't go wrong w/ a name like Lee Hazlewood's Woodchucks....
	9:28am Brendan: That’s OK let that bed music breathe like a fine wine Joe. Good morning!
	♥ 9:30am CHUCK ROAST: My work vehicle went down this A.M. Enjoying an unexpected mid-day break listening to you, Joe. Although, I'd still be tuned if I were at work.
	♥ 9:31am Sebastian: True Romance
	9:31am peter64: badlands!
	🎸 ♥ 9:31am The Oscar: THAT'S where I know that Orff piece! Just saw Badlands for the first time a few weeks ago-- great movie.
	♥ 9:31am Rob (Jerzcity): @pantz - actually maybe not. the search continues
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am karlward: I refuse to get excited until they find the lost Lee Hazelwood grindcore album.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am melinda: I thought the kinder musik sounded familiar too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am pantz: I believe True Romance might be it @Rob. It sounds similar though.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am steveo: that's my favorite line from joeeph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat
	♥ 9:33am Sebastian: definitely True Romance
	♥ 9:33am Rob (Jerzcity): yup - didn't realize the answer was right there. the search is over
	9:36am Vincent Nifigance: You're all right! 'Intertextuality and thematic development. From Badlands to True Romance' curatingthecontemporary.org...
	9:36am Vincent Nifigance: TLDR: "Home Hans Zimmer’s produced score for True Romance (1993) pays homage to Terrence Malick’s debut feature Badlands (1973). The two films exist in comparable harmony through both musical scoring, and narrative themes. Inspired by its forerunner, True Romance director Tony Scott envisioned a soundtrack which held an acute awareness of the Badlands theme ‘Gassenhauer’ from Musica Poetica"
	♥ 9:38am Joe McG: @CHUCK: Sorry to hear about the vehicle, but glad you're with us! @karl: Ha ha!
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am The Oscar: I'd like to see True Romance recut as a lyrical Malick-style meditation. Alternately, I'd like to see Terence Malick make a movie with Gary Oldman as a Rastafarian pimp.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am tadpoles: These last 2 bands sound very Flying Nun Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45am The Oscar: Great title on this one.
	♥ 9:45am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Good call. Maybe I'll play some actual Flying Nun!
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, blisteringly hot over here. On Malick. Loved Nestor Almeindros' camera work in Days of Heaven.
	9:49am emily: nice to here the "Go-Betweens". used to love them
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am pantz: It's so hot... I saw two trees fighting over a dog! (Dad Joke Corner)
	9:52am sinner: NZ jangle.....pierces my heart...
	9:55am djsheilab: Lois!
	9:55am queems: my mom is digging the show fyi
	9:55am Fletchernyc: Love Lois! I would always sing this song to my kids as a lullaby.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am melinda: Days of Heaven is a beautiful movie. Another great choice of intro music with that one, something by St. Saens.
	9:56am emily: this set is breaking my heart
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: @Sheila: I love that version. Remember when Yvonne did it at HNM? @queems: I love when moms like the show! @emily: Things might get worse before they get better, but 45s are inevitable!
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am lukavino: i found that Look Blue Go Purple collection in the USED bin. disgraceful.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am lukavino: my gain, though.
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @lukavino: Lucky score!
	♥ 9:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	♥ 10:00am βrian: 93% humidity on the isthmus this morning. Not too hot though. Surface Noise is sustaining.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am officina: Wonderful show Joe. Didn't know that version of the Zombies tune...beautiful.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am lukavino: extremely lucky, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am pantz: The skies will be dark tonight because all of the stars are on this setlist.
	10:02am JakeGould: Hey Joe! So nasty in NYC nowdays. Hot cool tip for anyone around the Village: The Cooper Square post office on 4th Avenue around the corner from the Strand has a HUGE standup air conditioner. You can stand in front of it and just cool off. Nobody cares because it’s the post office!
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am Brian in UK: Wistful set?
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: @officina: Very pretty! Hey Jack and Brian, melinda, all!
	♥ 10:04am Passaic River Blues: @Jake: that is pretty useful intel--thank you, sir.
	10:05am JakeGould: Also, you could stand in a huge walk-in freezer if you wish… But not like that guy at that brunch place on the Upper West Side yesterday. Who stays in a freezer overnight in a brunch place and then attacks staff in weather like this?
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am steveo: this is the one that pushes me over the edge; 1975 is like that (don't worry i'll be ok)
	♥ 10:06am Mike East: I always thought this song was called "Meet Me in the Middle"
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Krys O.: I say unashamedly that I love Sister Golden Hair.
	10:09am JakeGould: @KrysO: It’s a beautiful song. You should be proud. Oh, I also revisited all of the Boomtown Rats discography. And honestly Bob Geldoff really thinks he’s a punk Mick Jagger. But I enjoy their hits!
	10:10am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning Mr.Joe and friends. Pulling up late today but as the saying goes, "who took my damn coffee?!?"
	10:11am will: Joe strains the limits of credulity by playing Sister Golden Hair but then the McGasko Effect takes hold, and we love it!
	10:11am JakeGould: Who let the dogs out? When I put my hand on your hit I dip you dip we dip? It’s Chinatown!!!
	♥ 10:12am βrian: I suppose it's too humid to play Summer Breeze.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12am Krys O.: This Dressy Bessy is tangentially making me think of Letters to Cleo who were in 10 Things I Hate About You which oddly enough has Heath Ledger's character name drop the Raincoats.
	10:12am JakeGould: Sorry, that was really more non-contextual that usual.
	♥ 10:13am Joe McG: @Krys: I kinda like Letters to Cleo's big hit.
	♥ 10:14am annie: oopps, huge mistake ... it's monday... and i'm late to the dance! good morning everyone!
	10:15am Marc Francis: Oh man! I cam very late to the game in regards to this Macca album! I bought it a few months back and it is SO DAMN GOOD.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am tadpoles: Some Ringo and John related would be perfect.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am pantz: Wasn't Ram the album Lennon railed Macca on, for being a sellout?
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Krys O.: @Joe: So did I. The movie was from 1999 and had a great soundtrack.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Krys O.: Yeah, pantz. That prompted the famous pic of Lennon with a pig, but Ram rules nonetheless.
	10:18am Marc Francis: @pantz: i think Lennon was pissed off at McCartney because he took a swipe at him with one of the lines in a song.
	10:18am melinda: Disappointed to see that I missed Sister Goldenhair while in transit.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am Brian in UK: I think John Lennon was getting matey with a pig, whereas Paul McCartney anticipates Ramdom Access Memory.
	♥ 10:19am Little Danny: Mornin' Joe, all
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am steveo: refreshingly cello-free
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am tadpoles: #pantz....I think it was just called "McCartney". Isn't that the one with the fucking beetles photo on the back?
	10:23am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe! Greetings from the Left Coast :-)
	♥ 10:23am Scott Williams: Twas "Ram" that featured copulating Beetles: goo.gl...
	♥ 10:23am βrian: Can beetles even do that?
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Krys O.: Thanks for the Slavic sounds, Joe!
	10:25am JakeGould: @Brian: Nature can be disgusting and nasty. Every see a pigeon be a bully for no reason? I have. That’s why I now like sparrows… They are a lot nicer.
	♥ 10:27am Little Danny: Holy crap, this is Barış Manço?!
	10:27am sispus: oh my!!!
	♥ 10:27am Passaic River Blues: @Little Danny: my mind is blown as well.
	♥ 10:28am maestroso: @Little Danny I was just thinking that...
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Brian in UK: Never trust a weasel.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Uncle Michael: You're making me happy this morning, Joe.
	10:30am Uhnnohn: oops. I thought my internet connection dropped.
	10:32am sinner: @UM: Cubs on feugo.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Krys O.: Where do you think little beetles come from?
	10:34am JakeGould: @KrysO: Why do you have to give us imagery?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am lukavino: DOG IN THE STUDIO
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am steveo: lol; dog Joe is great
	♥ 10:35am Sem: Greets, Joe, McGaskoes, and noisey ones just beneath the surface.
	10:35am queems: sometimes you have to just hang out with dogs
	10:36am melinda: That was sweet
	♥ 10:36am northguineahills: Had a lovely Monday. The boiler became schizophrenic when I was in shower, so it was either scalding hot, or frigid. Then, I had to water the garden, as it's the first time since late March it hasn't rained in two days straight. Of course, the handle on the spigot broke off and got me soaked while wearing my meeting office garb (still soaked). Joe keep me sane this morning!
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am The Oscar: Is there a "Dogs of WFMU" gallery anywhere? I'd like to see faces to go with all the dogs who occasionally wander on-mic.
	10:38am Satis-factory records: Dogs make everything better
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Uncle Michael: Wrong kind of fire, Brother Sinner. Fortunately the Brewers aren't playing any better. I'm going to see the Cubs in KC tomorrow.
	♥ 10:40am northguineahills: I'd like to get a dog, but I'm at work all day long, and my office has a lab w/ dangerous chemicals, so, it would probably be a bad idea to bring a mutt into the office (I want to have a dog again).
	♥ 10:40am fred: Good morning Joe and Yipsters
	♥ 10:40am peapod ross: @ngh Good lord. I believe boiler talk is a perennial 7SD topic. Perhaps you can talk Ken into making that the theme for this weeks show.
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: @Uncle Michael: I'm glad! Hi, Alexandra! Hey, fred, peapod, steveo, Jake, Sem...
	♥ 10:44am fred: @The Oscar: there might be one, and I think many of them were picture in the adoption gallery and/or the mascot gallery, which are probably accessible somewhere
	10:44am melinda: I like it when dogs come into the store where I work. Except for the two that stank and the one that left a drool puddle.
	10:45am ilana: a perfectly vibin' show today joe!
	10:46am Listener Alexandra: Aww...this was on our wedding playlist :-)
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am Brian in UK: Joe, have you got Ethan' Johns new album ANAMNESIS, out this week. Hoping to see him in a couple of weeks.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47am Krys O.: Jake: I didn't bring up copulatin' beetles.
	10:47am djsheilab: I love this Police single.
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: Hey, Ilana! @Alex: So glad! @Brian: No, but I'd be curious to hear it! @Sheila: Rare Single File forethought about to occur.... :)
	♥ 10:48am northguineahills: You hit it on the nose, peapod ross, I've heard him discuss boilers many times. This time, I'm not in NYC, and just have my own house, and the boiler was installed 2 years ago (according to my landlord), and it looks to me a modern model.
	♥ 10:49am northguineahills: @Sheilab: As according to Uncle Michael, there are no guilty pleasures, and I dig the Police (well, some songs, like this one).
	♥ 10:49am foofs: Every little thing she does is magic Conjures paper flowers in a vase From her little top hat pops a rabbit Pulls a string of flags out of her arse
	♥ 10:49am Jeff Moore: Well judged, Joe! I think you waited just enough decades before playing this Police song for me to be ready to actually enjoy it again!
	10:49am melinda: I like this Police too.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50am Krys O.: Ahhhh, excellent choice! This Sheila Hylton track was on a Taxi comp that I used to check out from the public library in my hometown.
	10:51am djsheilab: NGH—I'm trying to part ways with the whole guilty pleasure idea as well. Although I do still blush when admitting to certain musical loves.
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: @Krys: I have that one! :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:51am Krys O.: Sly & Robbie Present Taxi: www.discogs.com...
	10:51am djsheilab: Love this Sheila Hylton as well!
	🎸 ♥ 10:51am tadpoles: #ngh....you need an indirect hot water tank separate from the boiler.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Sheila: It's kinda tropical pop!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am Krys O.: I grew up on the poor side o' town and had to check out LPs at the public library. I taped radio shows too.
	♥ 10:53am Wendy del Formaggio: Krys O. Did you see the Grace Jones documentary that was in theaters the last few months? Some Sly & Robbie bits in that film. It wasn't the best doc I've seen, but two hours of watching Grace Jones do her stuff made it worth it.
	10:53am djsheilab: Joe McG—Indeed it is!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am Krys O.: COLIN!!!!! <3
	10:53am paul: Propical
	10:54am paul: ™
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am Brian in UK: The beds too big the frying pans too wide.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am Krys O.: I'll have to check that out. Thanks, Wendy!
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: Colin Blunstone sings like an angel.
	10:55am holland oats: love this man
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am tadpoles: Yes Joe and to have it on a 45 is heaven.
	10:56am JakeGould: @NGH: Utterly no such things as “guilty pleasures.” And some of the Police is tolerable… Then you have tracks like “Mother” off of “Synchronicity” or “Be My Girl.” Bleagh!!
	10:56am Dean: Was thinking just this morning of Dylan's Infidels album, which features Sly & Robbie, all for the better.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58am Brian in UK: Joe, you have dogs in the studio, we have chickens in the house. Escaped from the run.
	♥ 10:58am peapod ross: wtf Thirtheen Floor Segervators
	♥ 10:59am northguineahills: @tadpoles: If this happens again, I'll bring it up w/ the landlord. Unlike NYC, he actually responds to my requests (and actually a nice guy, lives two houses down).
	♥ 11:00am peapod ross: he should have just stayed doing this.
	♥ 11:00am Nate K.: Very excited this early Seger is available again. I have "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" and "Mongrel," but the Cameo stuff has eluded me.
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Brian: Sorry to hear about the escapee chickens. Maybe they're in a better place now.
	11:00am Chi Bill: Well, about time. :>) Early Seger rocks!!!
	♥ 11:01am peapod ross: i learned something today. Thanks Joe
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @Nate K.: Me, too! I was going to save it for Story Corner (sad Johnny story), but I can always play it again when we get the CD at WFMU.
	♥ 11:01am northguineahills: I bombed my house last night (I just had to cuddle w/ the neighborhood cats) for fleas. I went to a honky-tonk outside of town (I went exploring), and it was full of punks and progressive rednecks. Had some fun conversations.
	♥ 11:01am coelacanth∅: foofs @10.49 haha, magic!
	♥ 11:09am slugluv1313: thanks, Joe, for "Ain't Understanding Mellow" -- i fell in love with that song when i was a kid and it was a "hit single," STILL gives me goosebumps all these years later :)
	11:09am Dean: No, most beautiful voice in the human race has to include Conchita Supervia among the candidates.
	11:11am melinda: Sting fouled the bath water, it's true.
	11:13am Dean: The Police went out of fashion for me c.1979, during a performance at the Whisky, when I yawned one time too many.
	♥ 11:13am northguineahills: I actually like "some" of Sting's solo work. (it's a short list)/
	♥ 11:14am coelacanth∅: well, Stewart Copeland songs (outstanding drumming he is not withstanding) ensured from the start that the bathwater had some crud floating around in it.
	♥ 11:15am Passaic River Blues: That was some choice Iceman and Eager in the last set.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: @slugluv and PRB: Glad you guys love that record, too!
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am Brian in UK: @coelacanth∅ Stewart Copeland and I are twins, born on the same day/year.
	♥ 11:18am coelacanth∅: ..eh i shouldn't say that. Sting had some shitty songs right from the start too. and Copeland's got better by ghost... i like many of their early songs too though
	♥ 11:20am Nate K.: Jeez, Bonnie Bramlett was clearly the best singer on the original Roseanne, if not on the planet.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @Nate: Ha ha!
	♥ 11:21am coelacanth∅: Brian really? does Sting's ego make you cringe at the same times it makes Stewart cringe?
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am doctorjazz: Struck me as well what great pipes Bonnie had. Haven't heard her in a while now.
	🎸 ♥ 11:22am doctorjazz: (but, she does have a vibrato that bugs me a bit ,but I'm a finicky listener)
	11:22am Marc Francis: CHOOOOOOON
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am steveo: at the end of d&b i hit my desk just where i expected a big drum hit but no drums came over the wire
	♥ 11:26am GeorgeSimian: Does anybody else think Janis Joplin kind of sucks? She just screams through all her songs.
	11:27am melinda: I remember that bit on Roseanne, it was great.
	11:28am JakeGould: “Ghost in the Machine” and “Regatta De Blanc” are still rock solid.
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am tadpoles: Sorry GeorgeSimian I'm all in favor of "each to his own"..but no. I was just thinking during "Piece of my Heart" how Janis blows Bonnie away.
	♥ 11:30am βrian: Apropos of nothing, I saw a flatbed truck carrying a monstrously huge, gold-colored burial vault this morning. Seems like such a waste.
	11:31am SueAdynamo: Joplin has soul and is able to express it vocally. she is not gifted with the pipes but she had the heart. also she prob smoked - bad girl!
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @SueA: I love to see and read her interviews, too. She's so funny and smart.
	11:32am Dean: It's worth watching Dick Cavett's interviews with Janis. You can tell he really dug her.
	♥ 11:33am GeorgeSimian: Feel like she has one note. The originals of Piece of My Heart and Bobby McGee are so much better.
	♥ 11:33am Passaic River Blues: Enjoying this Cold Blood, damn.
	♥ 11:33am northguineahills: Oh, at said honky-tonk, I met a Mexi from Jersey City. And I was wearing an WFMU shirt.
	11:34am Marc Francis: Let Me Down Easy = CHOOOOOOON
	11:34am JakeGould: @GeorgeSimian: Depends on perspective. For example, I still like “Led Zeppelin.” But the older I get the more I realize they really just ripped off pretty much everything from others so blatantly I’m not too sure how important they are to me in that way anymore. Still… “Physical Graffiti” is great.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: @coelacanth∅ no time for him. You seen those photographs of him with an outsize stetson. He needs one that big.
	11:35am mb: Thought this "Let Me Down Easy" was a Bette Lavette re-do. Nice surprise from '69.
	♥ 11:35am Nate K.: @Melinda do you remember what song BB sang on "Roseanne"? I want to say "Dark End of the Street," but that seems too cool.
	11:36am JakeGould: Sting is tedious. Still will admit the “Dream of the Blue Turtles” tour was my first concert ever. And wore that t-shirt I proudly paid $30 in 1980s money to death.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: @JakeGould play Trampled Underfoot at 11. No 12.
	11:37am Dean: A bunch of LPs in a row
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Brian in UK: Etta James lurking around here.
	♥ 11:38am coelacanth∅: George, yes. just kind of though. absurdly overrated; but she hit some high points too, at times. the 2 big brother & holding co albums are excellent - probably because she was just a member and not in charge. and even after she decided she needed all the attention for herself she did some great things. her singing itself though? yeah often pretty horrible.
	♥ 11:39am Nate K.: This is a fantastic set, Joe.
	11:39am JakeGould: @Brian: In my mind I can play “Custard Pie” at noon.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Dean: You guessed what they have in common! ;)
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth∅: ...and ghost in the machine is a truly excellent album, in my opinion! ...and Kathi's killin' it!
	♥ 11:40am GeorgeSimian: I think Janis had a great epic voice, but it was just one note. I'm listening to this Kathi McDonald and hearing so much more.
	♥ 11:41am coelacanth∅: βrian @11.30 yeah that shit should be illegal
	11:41am Dean: I'm smart that way, @Joe McG, very observant. I like Janis, now these many years after first hearing her and not thinking twice about her. But then the same goes for Joe Cocker.
	11:41am JakeGould: @GeorgeSimian: The exact same things can be said about Joe Cocker.
	♥ 11:41am Nate K.: I had to look up Kathi McDonald. Apparently she was an Ikette briefly.
	11:41am JakeGould: @Dean: Jinx!!!
	11:41am Dean: Jinx, @JakeGould!
	11:42am Dean: Jink-times-a-million!
	11:42am JakeGould: Jinx!
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Krys O.: Cool! Ellen McIlwaine is sadly obscure. Thanks again, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am steveo: i shot the sheriff, but i was NOT up on choctaw ridge
	11:45am lee of Grangemouth: Fully committed performances on all of these selections. Very good.
	11:46am melinda: @Nate You Really Got a Hold on Me
	♥ 11:46am Nate K.: David Allen Coe's kid does a country music history podcast and the episode on Bobbie Gentry and "Ode" is incredible and highly recommended.
	♥ 11:46am coelacanth∅: Janis was indeed smart and funny. interviews are very entertaining but also laid it right out how patheticly insecure she was.
	♥ 11:46am Nate K.: @Melinda, yes, thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am steveo: well, that version has a confession dunnit?
	🎸 ♥ 11:47am Brian in UK: Joe, some great sets today. Thanks.
	11:47am Chi Bill: Yes, Ellen came on the scene then kind of quiet, (stupid commercial radio). Nice show, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 11:47am Krys O.: Janis was bullied horribly when she lived in Texas. She carried that with her into career.
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian! Thanks, Chi Bill! @Nate: Did he do one about his dad?
	11:47am peter64: you’re killing it today joe
	11:48am Dean: A year or so ago I played Aretha on the home system. My then 11YO looked up and announced, "That woman can sing."
	♥ 11:49am coelacanth∅: Krys, right. it's saddening she couldn't let go of that.
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am steveo: ok my bad, just misremembered the original; carry on
	11:50am melinda: @Nate you're welcome!
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: Thanks, peter64! @Dean: I like that story!
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am doctorjazz: The Janis Doc is really good (don't love most music docs). My 25 year old daughter, who is a singer/actress and loves contemporary music, is in awe of Aretha (I'm proud of that.. Now if I can only get my other daughter to listen to something that's not punk or metal...)
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: Late good morning, Joe and Joe-kers. We're off to explore the zoo at Assiniboine Park. It's a lovely day here up north.
	♥ 11:53am coelacanth∅: i don't know,doc, i might be thankful it's punk and metal and not rap.
	11:54am Dean: @doctorjazz: To echo my comment upstream, you might introduce your punk/metal daughter to Conchita Supervia. Or Josephine Baker? Nina Simone? These are musicians at least as cool as the best punk or metal.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Hey friends, I've got to go. Stay tuned for Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock. Have a great week, everybody, and be with you again soon. Hope something fine comes your way.
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am steveo: thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am coelacanth∅: i'm not a parent, but i think one should think carefully before being the one to introduce certain music to your kids
	11:57am Anita in Morristown: Love this album. Bought it in 1971 when it came out. Saw Janis with Big Brother at the Fillmore East Theatre in New York 1968. You're really bringing on some awesome memories. Mother Earth album 1971
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am doctorjazz: (my older one, who's more open to new things, will recite raps word for word, I'm OK with that). I just go with the flow, going to hear 2 punk-pop groups this month with the youngin' Great show, Joe, thanks!
	11:57am mb: Thx Joe!
	11:57am Brendan: Thanks Joe!
	11:57am queems: thanks joe! my whole family enjoyed the show today
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Krys O.: Thanks for another great show, Joe! Take care!
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe
	♥ 11:59am slugluv1313: thank-you so much for another fantastic show, Joe! have a great week!
	♥ 12:00pm northguineahills: Gracias, Joe!
	♥ 12:04pm slugluv1313: @ Anita in Morristown -- jealous! never got to see Janis (was "underage") but loved her when i was a kid that last set was killer -- Kathi McDonald (is she still around???), Lydia Pense, Bonnie Bramlett, Tracy Nelson . . . agreed, tons of wonderful memories! (only one "missing" is Merry Clayton :) )
