	9:21am Krys O.: You had me worried! ;) I've loved Cat since I was a kid.
	9:23am Vincent Nifigance: Yusuf's Futon.

	9:27am steveo: Good morning Joe. There's so much I have to know!
	9:27am Vincent Nifigance: @pantz curveball!
	9:27am pantz: @Vincent Even better! A new favorite version.
	9:28am The Oscar: Ooooooh, this one's so good!
	9:28am Uncle Michael: The BEST version of "First Cut".
	9:28am Krys O.: P.P. is the BEST!
	9:29am Brendan: Thanks for putting me at ease Joe. Just tuned in and was looking at the playlist. I guess we’re a sensitive bunch here!
	9:29am Roger: The original version of Father and Son makes my daughter, now 17, cry and come find me for a hug. Gets me every time.
	9:29am The Oscar: PP is the queen of best versions (see also "Angel of the Morning")
	9:29am Pedro in Arlington: Always thought it was brilliant that a guy named Cat had a song called "I Love My Dog." There's a great live version on YouTube from French TV. Keep the Cat coming.
	9:29am Roger: Wonderful show this AM, Joe, thanks!
	👻 9:30am Hughie Considine: That Flaming Lips song that rips off "Father & Son" could be seen as a cover ...
	9:30am Falcon: Thanks! this is excellent
	9:31am Roberto: I didn't understand that lyric for the longest time -- "you're still young, that's your fault" -- how can it be one's fault how young one is?
	9:31am Aaron Working In Newark: Nice Start Joe
	👻 9:32am Hughie Considine: @Roberto, that was "Father" speaking ... you know how dads can be.
	9:32am Sem: This was a big hit in Canada as sung by Keith Hampshire, circa 1973.
	9:32am melinda: Those circles are full of shit, man
	9:32am Vincent Nifigance: It's a wild world.
	9:32am Phillippe Bastille: Steven Katz
	9:33am Krys O.: Buddha & the Chocolate Box is a winner too.
	9:33am melinda: Mona Bone Jakon is a good album.
	👻 9:34am Hughie Considine: For me, Cat lost it around Izitso/Foreigner era ...
	9:34am Roberto: I realized "fault" in this case means flaw, not responsibility. Dammit kid, you shoulda been born sooner!
	9:34am Krys O.: Cat's brother gave him a copy of the Quran when Cat was ill.
	9:34am Vincent Nifigance: Joe, you played a song called 'You Can Do (Whatever)' from recent album The Laughing Apple a few months back that was great (sounded a lot like Cat).
	👻 9:35am Hughie Considine: Can't believe First Cut Is the Deepest didn't find its way onto the Sharp Objects soundtrack...too on the nose?
	9:36am Peter Horvath: Hi Joe, you can’t mention The Koobas without playing some Koobas!
	9:37am Dennis Diken: hey Joe! saw Cat Stevens at MSG in '74, great show. the stage was covered with a type of a tent and he didn't sell seats behind the stage, which I thought was classy. I played a festival in Madrid with Ronnie Spector in June and we went on right after PP Arnold. she was outasite!
	9:38am adampsyche: damn joe i never really realized how soothing your voice is. perfect for entering the workin' week.
	👻 9:39am Hughie Considine: McGasko is mellifluous on Mondays ...
	9:40am adampsyche: joe and olivia ravioli need to just read us the paper every morning, alternating stories.
	9:40am melinda: Is there actually a harold and Maude soundtrack out there? I think all of the songs are available on various albums, but you never see a soundtrack album.
	9:40am Jeezy: Did anyone hear that crazy electro track that Duane played that was a B-side for Cat Stevens in the 70's? Apparently it's a hugely influential track for early hiphop... Cat just whipped it off in the studio one day in the 70's. Chick Corea played a bit on it.
	👻 9:41am tadpoles: Cat as Yusef Islam covered the Animals "Don't let Me Be Misunderstood" to answer all the naysayers. I always loved "Matthew & Son".
	9:41am steveo: I found it on Discogs, Melinda. $300 and up.
	9:43am Joe McG: Why, thanks, adampsyche! @melinda: It's rare and pricey, as steveo found out. @Jeezy: I forget the name, but it's amazing, that one! @Dennis: Hope you didn't mind me sharing your comment on the air!
	9:43am Vincent Nifigance: i can hear David Bowie singing this.
	9:44am Vincent Nifigance: ...that.
	9:44am Booz: I adore PP Arnold. Srsly.
	👻 9:46am Hughie Considine: I always love it when a one-named singer goes by a fairly ordinary name, like Marion. Or Keith of "98.6" fame.
	9:46am The Oscar: I saw Harold & Maude last year in an outdoor screening at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Boston, as a double feature with The Seventh Seal. Needless to say, it was amazing.
	9:48am Dennis Diken: not at all Joe!
	9:51am judy from croton: Such a wonderful show, joe.
	9:51am melinda: @steveo wow, makes sense that it would exist but but be pricey, since you never see it in real life. @Oscar I'm jealous
	9:57am Joe McG: Thanks, judy and Roger!
	10:00am melinda: This sounds like Dean Wareham
	10:02am Joe McG: @melinda: I think Dean Wareham and Jason Pierce are melding.
	10:04am Krys O.: Thanks for the Kate!!!!
	10:06am Manhattan Mike: Kate bush following happy Rhodes. Very aperpo Joe...
	10:12am βrian: Las time I rode in a funicular car was in Lyon.
	10:13am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	10:13am steveo: misheard lyric "lips like chicken"
	10:13am Joe D.: Joe remind me to show you this crazy sample of "Suspended in Gaffa" in one of my favorite rap tunes
	10:14am Joe McG: @JoeD: I will! Sounds fascinating. Hey Greg! @Brian: I kind of like funiculars.
	10:17am Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	10:18am Rev. Turnip Druid: Egad, missed th'Kate. Favorite LP of hers by an absurdly huge margin.
	10:21am Summer and Michael: Hey, Joe! Loving the Spiritualized track, then thinking the next track sounded like Kate Bush, then hearing the following track actually was. Great set! Happy Monday!
	10:21am SheWolf: This set is as smooth and intoxicating as my morning coffee. Thanks Joe.
	10:21am gw: Ahhh . Echo and the Bunnymen . Things were simpler then .
	10:27am Greg from ZONE 5: It's pronounced "amonynoosh"
	10:28am RDB: You're like the kid in findin' nemo, joe
	10:29am Roberto: "Laying" in the sun is grammatically unlikely unless he's referring to someone or something laying someone or something down while in the sun.
	10:30am Davee: It is singles time!!!
	10:33am Passaic River Blues: Funky organ instrumental? Do tell.
	10:34am Davee: Funky organ is sounding good
	10:34am steveo: i hurt my neck craning to see the title to this one
	10:34am LCBD: Joe, you have such a great radio voice!
	10:36am Joe McG: Gee, thanks, LCBD! Fewer frogs than usual today.
	10:37am βrian: Aye, dulcet pipes.
	10:37am Listener Alexandra: Nice show so far, Joe...and good morning from the Golden State!
	👻 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Sometimes you tune in and get show tunes. Mondays you tune in and get Joe tunes.
	10:39am Joe McG: Heya, Alex! Ken!
	10:40am Marc Francis: This is a CHOOOOON
	👻 10:42am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Probably said this before, bought Cat's first album, Matthew & Son when released with first paper round money. Still sounds good. He got a bit twee for me later on.
	10:43am Krys O.: Man, you are on fire, Joe! Thanks for the Who!
	10:44am Apple: Pete Townshend singing about 'Baby's Trousers' always tickles me :)
	👻 10:45am Brian in UK: Joe, this Who single is on Decca, they recorded on Track in this country. Surprised Decca got the rights as they did not know a hit if it tickled their tum.
	10:45am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: The WFMU Roku channel is awesome!
	10:48am Joe McG: @Brian: Tickled their tum, ha!
	👻 10:49am Brian in UK: Mike Nesmith song?
	10:50am Brendan: 'Baby on the Street' made me think of a Dave Chapelle story. He recalled the time he went with a friend who was buying weed in SE DC in the wee hrs. His friend left Dave in the car alone while he was transacting business. Dave nervously looked out the car window checking his surroundings, and saw a baby in diaper standing on the street corner at 3 am . That's when he new he was in a tough neighborhood. There may have been something about the baby having a cigarette.
	10:50am Phillippe Bastille: This dude sounds a little too tired to me
	10:50am Joe McG: This is such a nice version of the Nesmith song that I wish the Pastels could sing.
	👻 10:52am Brian in UK: Glad you said it, Joe.
	10:52am Krys O.: Brendan, I watched that Chappelle special recently. The baby was selling weed.
	10:53am Joe McG: @Brian: I generally like them, but let's face it, no matter how adorable they are, they really could've tuned it up a bit.
	10:55am Brendan: Krys O. - ha ! Even better!
	10:55am melinda: Nice to hear early Tom
	10:56am Sem: Oh, yes. The miracle of Tom Waits. Wonderful, Joe.
	10:57am βrian: Damn, I wondered why that voice seemed familiar.
	10:58am The Oscar: One of the most incredible rock vocal performances of all time.
	10:59am Sem: ..and then here's another writer living on the same floor as Mr. Waits, in the Tower of Song.
	11:01am Planet Tyler: @Sem, isnt it Hank's bday today? You know he's getting up to sumthin in the Tower
	11:01am Evan From Seattle: I ued to see this old guy named Big Al do Roy Orbison's Crying at a karaoke night here, he'd just weep it out. It was great.
	11:01am Lewis: ah yes Roy Orbison could really belt them out!
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: Sem, love the description of Hank Williams as thin as a rail.
	11:01am Vincent Nifigance: Colossal.
	11:02am Sem: Plant Tyler for the win!
	11:02am Planet Tyler: TAH DA!
	11:03am frozen_peas: "you know it, you love it" hahahaha. You're 100% right, Joe!
	11:07am Passaic River Blues: Brenda Hilliard, per the internet.
	11:08am AndyIowa: Morning, good day and good week, Joe and fellow 'FMUers! - AndyIowa in Brooklyn
	11:08am Passaic River Blues: She was in Faith, Hope & Charity with Zulema, apparently.
	11:09am Sem: @BiUK 11:01: was probably an ectomorph from the git go, his diet of speed and likker wouldn't have changed that, I don't think.
	11:11am TheLoneliestMonk: hey Joe Mac: what's shakin'?
	11:12am Planet Tyler: Sem/Biuk - Youve seen Hank III right? Ectomophing seems to have skipped a generation, just like talent
	11:17am Sem: Tyler, you're killin' me here. No, haven't had the pleasure (?) but now off to his website. No big thing...
	11:17am The Oscar: I've always thought of Hank Williams as the Doctor Who of country-- each iteration is distinct and emblematic of his own subgenre (though, like so much in life, this theory would be better if Hank Williams Jr. was dead).
	11:17am Chop Scott: Morning Joe! Mario nailed this one--sounds fantastic!
	11:18am Joe McG: @Chop Scott: Agree! Nice to see you, sir!
	11:18am Joe McG: Seattle's #1 Hit Makers! Check out the band's site here: www.truelovesband.com
	11:19am Planet Tyler: It wasnt for the lack of the spirit of music trying! Hank Jr. did fall off a cliff and got his face ripped off
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Very Wu-tang!
	11:23am Joe McG: @Greg: What's better than one trombone? Two trombones, of course!
	11:25am mb: Good morning Joe and all...
	11:26am steveo: (i did mention already somewhere the 28-trombone version of bohemian rhapsody which was released on youtube this week....)
	11:26am mb: Dang i missed The Who. Early Who at that.
	11:28am Mark Hurst: Great set!
	11:29am Joe McG: Hiya, Mark! Tune in to Techtonic tonight, everybody! It will be eye-opening.
	11:29am melinda: Mark I agree
	11:30am Mark Hurst: Thanks, Joe. It's a fun one tonight (I think)
	11:33am Joe McG: @mark: It's always a hoot!
	11:36am WFMU listener WADE: Hey!!! These guys are great! Glad to hear someone picking up the funk off the floor.
	11:36am Dr. Goot: Loving The True Loves, hats off and thanks!
	11:36am steveo: really enjoying this funky set
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: Must have been snug in the studio.
	11:37am AndyIowa: Groovy set, for sure.
	11:38am Marley Dogg: Was really digging that True Loves!
	11:38am Dr. Goot: Brass kicks ass!
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Great show again, Joe. Have a good week everyone.
	11:50am Krys O.: Excellent show, Joe! Thanks!
	11:51am Krys O.: p.s. The tracks with horns has me thinking of Annie Whitehead.
	11:52am Crudbringer: WHACKAWHACKACRASHHHHHHHH.... ......HONKAHONK!
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone. Thanks again to the True Loves for coming by and playing such a great set. See you all next week! Stay tuned for Three Chord Monte with the one-and-only Joe Belock.
	11:54am Marley Dogg: Digging the steel drum!

	👻 9:34am Hughie Considine: For me, Cat lost it around Izitso/Foreigner era ...
	9:34am Roberto: I realized "fault" in this case means flaw, not responsibility. Dammit kid, you shoulda been born sooner!
	9:34am Krys O.: Cat's brother gave him a copy of the Quran when Cat was ill.
	9:34am Vincent Nifigance: Joe, you played a song called 'You Can Do (Whatever)' from recent album The Laughing Apple a few months back that was great (sounded a lot like Cat).
	👻 9:35am Hughie Considine: Can't believe First Cut Is the Deepest didn't find its way onto the Sharp Objects soundtrack...too on the nose?
	9:36am Peter Horvath: Hi Joe, you can’t mention The Koobas without playing some Koobas!
	9:37am Dennis Diken: hey Joe! saw Cat Stevens at MSG in '74, great show. the stage was covered with a type of a tent and he didn't sell seats behind the stage, which I thought was classy. I played a festival in Madrid with Ronnie Spector in June and we went on right after PP Arnold. she was outasite!
	9:38am adampsyche: damn joe i never really realized how soothing your voice is. perfect for entering the workin' week.
	👻 9:39am Hughie Considine: McGasko is mellifluous on Mondays ...
	9:40am adampsyche: joe and olivia ravioli need to just read us the paper every morning, alternating stories.
	9:40am melinda: Is there actually a harold and Maude soundtrack out there? I think all of the songs are available on various albums, but you never see a soundtrack album.
	9:40am Jeezy: Did anyone hear that crazy electro track that Duane played that was a B-side for Cat Stevens in the 70's? Apparently it's a hugely influential track for early hiphop... Cat just whipped it off in the studio one day in the 70's. Chick Corea played a bit on it.
	👻 9:41am tadpoles: Cat as Yusef Islam covered the Animals "Don't let Me Be Misunderstood" to answer all the naysayers. I always loved "Matthew & Son".
	9:41am steveo: I found it on Discogs, Melinda. $300 and up.
	9:43am Joe McG: Why, thanks, adampsyche! @melinda: It's rare and pricey, as steveo found out. @Jeezy: I forget the name, but it's amazing, that one! @Dennis: Hope you didn't mind me sharing your comment on the air!
	9:43am Vincent Nifigance: i can hear David Bowie singing this.
	9:44am Vincent Nifigance: ...that.
	9:44am Booz: I adore PP Arnold. Srsly.
	👻 9:46am Hughie Considine: I always love it when a one-named singer goes by a fairly ordinary name, like Marion. Or Keith of "98.6" fame.
	9:46am The Oscar: I saw Harold & Maude last year in an outdoor screening at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Boston, as a double feature with The Seventh Seal. Needless to say, it was amazing.
	9:48am Dennis Diken: not at all Joe!
	9:51am judy from croton: Such a wonderful show, joe.
	9:51am melinda: @steveo wow, makes sense that it would exist but but be pricey, since you never see it in real life. @Oscar I'm jealous
	9:57am Joe McG: Thanks, judy and Roger!
	10:00am melinda: This sounds like Dean Wareham
	10:02am Joe McG: @melinda: I think Dean Wareham and Jason Pierce are melding.
	10:04am Krys O.: Thanks for the Kate!!!!
	10:06am Manhattan Mike: Kate bush following happy Rhodes. Very aperpo Joe...
	10:12am βrian: Las time I rode in a funicular car was in Lyon.
	10:13am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	10:13am steveo: misheard lyric "lips like chicken"
	10:13am Joe D.: Joe remind me to show you this crazy sample of "Suspended in Gaffa" in one of my favorite rap tunes
	10:14am Joe McG: @JoeD: I will! Sounds fascinating. Hey Greg! @Brian: I kind of like funiculars.
	10:17am Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	10:18am Rev. Turnip Druid: Egad, missed th'Kate. Favorite LP of hers by an absurdly huge margin.
	10:21am Summer and Michael: Hey, Joe! Loving the Spiritualized track, then thinking the next track sounded like Kate Bush, then hearing the following track actually was. Great set! Happy Monday!
	10:21am SheWolf: This set is as smooth and intoxicating as my morning coffee. Thanks Joe.
	10:21am gw: Ahhh . Echo and the Bunnymen . Things were simpler then .
	10:27am Greg from ZONE 5: It's pronounced "amonynoosh"
	10:28am RDB: You're like the kid in findin' nemo, joe
	10:29am Roberto: "Laying" in the sun is grammatically unlikely unless he's referring to someone or something laying someone or something down while in the sun.
	10:30am Davee: It is singles time!!!
	10:33am Passaic River Blues: Funky organ instrumental? Do tell.
	10:34am Davee: Funky organ is sounding good
	10:34am steveo: i hurt my neck craning to see the title to this one
	10:34am LCBD: Joe, you have such a great radio voice!
	10:36am Joe McG: Gee, thanks, LCBD! Fewer frogs than usual today.
	10:37am βrian: Aye, dulcet pipes.
	10:37am Listener Alexandra: Nice show so far, Joe...and good morning from the Golden State!
	👻 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Sometimes you tune in and get show tunes. Mondays you tune in and get Joe tunes.
	10:39am Joe McG: Heya, Alex! Ken!
	10:40am Marc Francis: This is a CHOOOOON
	👻 10:42am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Probably said this before, bought Cat's first album, Matthew & Son when released with first paper round money. Still sounds good. He got a bit twee for me later on.
	10:43am Krys O.: Man, you are on fire, Joe! Thanks for the Who!
	10:44am Apple: Pete Townshend singing about 'Baby's Trousers' always tickles me :)
	👻 10:45am Brian in UK: Joe, this Who single is on Decca, they recorded on Track in this country. Surprised Decca got the rights as they did not know a hit if it tickled their tum.
	10:45am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: The WFMU Roku channel is awesome!
	10:48am Joe McG: @Brian: Tickled their tum, ha!
	👻 10:49am Brian in UK: Mike Nesmith song?
	10:50am Brendan: 'Baby on the Street' made me think of a Dave Chapelle story. He recalled the time he went with a friend who was buying weed in SE DC in the wee hrs. His friend left Dave in the car alone while he was transacting business. Dave nervously looked out the car window checking his surroundings, and saw a baby in diaper standing on the street corner at 3 am . That's when he new he was in a tough neighborhood. There may have been something about the baby having a cigarette.
	10:50am Phillippe Bastille: This dude sounds a little too tired to me
	10:50am Joe McG: This is such a nice version of the Nesmith song that I wish the Pastels could sing.
	👻 10:52am Brian in UK: Glad you said it, Joe.
	10:52am Krys O.: Brendan, I watched that Chappelle special recently. The baby was selling weed.
	10:53am Joe McG: @Brian: I generally like them, but let's face it, no matter how adorable they are, they really could've tuned it up a bit.
	10:55am Brendan: Krys O. - ha ! Even better!
	10:55am melinda: Nice to hear early Tom
	10:56am Sem: Oh, yes. The miracle of Tom Waits. Wonderful, Joe.
	10:57am βrian: Damn, I wondered why that voice seemed familiar.
	10:58am The Oscar: One of the most incredible rock vocal performances of all time.
	10:59am Sem: ..and then here's another writer living on the same floor as Mr. Waits, in the Tower of Song.
	11:01am Planet Tyler: @Sem, isnt it Hank's bday today? You know he's getting up to sumthin in the Tower
	11:01am Evan From Seattle: I ued to see this old guy named Big Al do Roy Orbison's Crying at a karaoke night here, he'd just weep it out. It was great.
	11:01am Lewis: ah yes Roy Orbison could really belt them out!
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: Sem, love the description of Hank Williams as thin as a rail.
	11:01am Vincent Nifigance: Colossal.
	11:02am Sem: Plant Tyler for the win!
	11:02am Planet Tyler: TAH DA!
	11:03am frozen_peas: "you know it, you love it" hahahaha. You're 100% right, Joe!
	11:07am Passaic River Blues: Brenda Hilliard, per the internet.
	11:08am AndyIowa: Morning, good day and good week, Joe and fellow 'FMUers! - AndyIowa in Brooklyn
	11:08am Passaic River Blues: She was in Faith, Hope & Charity with Zulema, apparently.
	11:09am Sem: @BiUK 11:01: was probably an ectomorph from the git go, his diet of speed and likker wouldn't have changed that, I don't think.
	11:11am TheLoneliestMonk: hey Joe Mac: what's shakin'?
	11:12am Planet Tyler: Sem/Biuk - Youve seen Hank III right? Ectomophing seems to have skipped a generation, just like talent
	11:17am Sem: Tyler, you're killin' me here. No, haven't had the pleasure (?) but now off to his website. No big thing...
	11:17am The Oscar: I've always thought of Hank Williams as the Doctor Who of country-- each iteration is distinct and emblematic of his own subgenre (though, like so much in life, this theory would be better if Hank Williams Jr. was dead).
	11:17am Chop Scott: Morning Joe! Mario nailed this one--sounds fantastic!
	11:18am Joe McG: @Chop Scott: Agree! Nice to see you, sir!
	11:18am Joe McG: Seattle's #1 Hit Makers! Check out the band's site here: www.truelovesband.com
	11:19am Planet Tyler: It wasnt for the lack of the spirit of music trying! Hank Jr. did fall off a cliff and got his face ripped off
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Very Wu-tang!
	11:23am Joe McG: @Greg: What's better than one trombone? Two trombones, of course!
	11:25am mb: Good morning Joe and all...
	11:26am steveo: (i did mention already somewhere the 28-trombone version of bohemian rhapsody which was released on youtube this week....)
	11:26am mb: Dang i missed The Who. Early Who at that.
	11:28am Mark Hurst: Great set!
	11:29am Joe McG: Hiya, Mark! Tune in to Techtonic tonight, everybody! It will be eye-opening.
	11:29am melinda: Mark I agree
	11:30am Mark Hurst: Thanks, Joe. It's a fun one tonight (I think)
	11:33am Joe McG: @mark: It's always a hoot!
	11:36am WFMU listener WADE: Hey!!! These guys are great! Glad to hear someone picking up the funk off the floor.
	11:36am Dr. Goot: Loving The True Loves, hats off and thanks!
