	9:06am Krys O.: Howdy, Joe!
	9:07am Brendan: @Joe. Thanks for gettin’ me up easy.
	9:07am The Oscar: Mornin' all! Bummed to interrupt my long weekend/last-week-of-Filmstruck binge with work, but Bobbie makes it better.
	9:07am Vincent Nifigance: I have an advance copy of the new Mercury Rev cover of this album with guest singers. Not sure if that is of interest to anyone, but it's a thing that has happened.
	9:08am linderstorm: Morning, Joe!
	9:09am steveo: whoa hey what day is it? where am i? oh....hi Joe, good to hear you!
	👻 9:09am karlward: I am wondering aloud what McGasko's "Lust for Life" is. By that, I mean what's his super high energy jam? Like if McGasko were on the run from the cops, what's the lead single from that soundtrack?
	9:10am D in St Pete: Happy Thanksgiving hangover all you jive turkeys
	9:11am P-90: Hoping to grab that new Bobbie Gentry 8 CD box on Cyber Monday...
	9:14am Joe McG: @P-90: If you see a good deal, please let me know. I really want one, too. Hey, everybody!
	9:15am P-90: DJ Joe McG: will do!
	9:16am listener monica: yo!
	9:17am Phillippe Bastille: Hey all! Happy Monday!
	9:21am Hoboken Jack: Good morning, Joe!
	👻 9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Tell 'em Auricle Communications sent you and WFMU gets a piece. smile.amazon.com
	9:22am Vincent Nifigance: Good job @KenFromHP
	9:23am melinda: Thanks for the link and reminder Ken.
	9:23am melinda: Nice set!
	9:24am TheLoneliestMonk: has anyone bought any of those boxes put out by Omnivore? i found the chris bell one kinda tempting...
	9:26am listener monica: marianne is sounding like buffy ste. marie on this song.
	9:28am Joe McG: @karlward: Right now it's "Pretty Feelings" by Music City! @everybody: If there are amazing deals out there to be had, pass them along. :)
	9:37am Irene: Brilliant opening set, Joe!
	9:39am Joe McG: Hi, Irene! I think I just lulled everyone back to sleep with that last track, but I'll wake them back up eventually! :)
	9:39am Aaron Working In Newark: good morning Joe
	9:41am TheLoneliestMonk: jeebuz H, joe! what is this, ry cooder on quaaludes?
	9:44am Joe McG: @Monk: Ha ha ha! Hey, Aaron!
	9:45am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I borrowed a Ry Cooder CD from the library, but did not like it much. I tried. Is there one or two really amazing Ry Cooder albums? I think he plays on Captain Beefheart's Safe as Milk. I also heard he walked out of Woodstock when he saw Captain Beefheart fall off the stage. Not sure if that's true. Anybody?
	9:45am mauri: Heyahey Joe. Sounding good.
	9:46am Joe McG: Heya, mauri! How's things on the other side of the planet?
	👻 9:49am queems: hey joe & all!
	👻 9:49am b!!!: This is a lovely set!
	9:50am Vincent Nifigance: @Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I heard Cooder left the Magic Band after someone pulled a crossbow on Don. I think fans regard 'Into the Purple Valley' and 'Bop Til You Drop' as Cooder's best, though the latter is supposed to be his 'commercial album. I prefer his soundtrack work, particularly Paris Texas, and Crossroads.
	9:50am dale: love this. sounds like ralph lundsten
	9:50am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning, Joe and everyone. Love this one from Kosmischer Läufer!
	9:50am melinda: The Kosmic music is so good.
	9:51am melinda: @Wild Neil I like the Paris TX soundtrack.
	9:52am Ike: Dig dig dig!
	9:54am mauri: Good. slightly freezing. waiting for more snow!
	9:55am βrian: Mmm, pastry!
	9:56am steveo: groovy set!
	9:57am steveo: remember General Hospital? Bo used to mount Hope all the time!
	9:57am Brendan: Ah the dulcet tones of the station id over accordian
	👻 9:57am officina: Great set Joe !
	9:59am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac: we're trying to NOT fall asleep at work today, Brudda!
	10:00am βrian: There's a music library where I work, but I gather that's different.
	10:01am TheLoneliestMonk: i'm contemplating carving up one of my guitars to simulate ry's sound. someone finally made a lap steel type pickup that you drop into a regular guitar. then you gotta put a gold tone in the neck slot.
	10:03am TheLoneliestMonk: @VN, WildNeil: he has also done some soundtrack work for werner herzog as well. e.g. grizzly man
	10:07am Vincent Nifigance: @TheLonliestMonk O think that was Jim O'Rourke and Richard Thompson. Great though.
	10:07am Brendan: This hiatus surely must be a prelude to Freebird
	10:09am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha
	10:15am TheLoneliestMonk: @VN rightchooare!
	👻 10:16am Brian in UK: Hey Joe from a rapidly light-fading UK.
	👻 10:18am Brian in UK: Gene Clark singing 'See the Sky About to Rain' on Byrds (reunion album) is a good case of someone making anothers' song their own.
	10:18am TheLoneliestMonk: omnivorerecordings.com...
	10:19am Joe McG: Hey Brian! I think that Byrds reunion LP is a bit underrated. There are some nice things on there.
	10:20am David in London: Hey Joe, lovely set today.
	10:21am Joe McG: Thanks, David! UK strong on the board today!
	👻 10:22am Brian in UK: Looks like Grasshopper from the Revs listens to Ubuweb (see second tweet) twitter.com... Love the early Lucinda. Lots of compassion.
	10:24am Roberto: I remember hearing an unfinished version of Something About What Happens on KCRW in '89 or so.
	10:27am Morphe: Cleaning body, soul, house, clothes all day ... listening but no time to read... Thanks Joe.. gotta go Joe.. I'll catch the ending in the archives Thanks for the tunes...
	10:35am melinda: I really liked the Jay Bolotin song too.
	10:36am MplsCoco: Oh Joe!! So wonderful! ❤️ Thank you! And my new favorite album title: Jesus was a Capricorn!
	10:38am Joe McG: @MplsCoco: Great title, I agree (speaking as a Capricorn)! ;)
	10:38am MplsCoco: Good to know Joe! ;)
	10:38am Vincent Nifigance: @TheLonliestMonk: This is my last payday before Christmas, when my family get no presents, I'm blaming you.
	10:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	10:41am Joe McG: Hey Greg! Everybody, Greg did his very first WFMU show late last Friday. Go check it out!
	10:41am Brendan: I just got up and I’m ready to get down.
	10:42am TheLoneliestMonk: @VN bwaha! i told ya, some of those omnivore boxes seem tasty, i don't wanna be the guinea pig tho....
	10:43am Mike tp: seen Kris Kristofferson with Zappa N Jimmy walker on Mike Douglas show.17 minutes plus Zappa performed N showed a cllaymation video....
	10:44am Joe McG: @Mike: The mind reels!
	10:47am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks for the plug! (I'm still recovering…)
	10:48am Joe McG: @Greg: Sound your funky horn, Greg! Feel free to post a link here. :)
	👻 10:49am Ken From Hyde Park: When the plane carrying Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper went down, Bobby Vee filled in for the show for which they were scheduled.
	10:50am Brendan: Musicians were great on those old shows when they actually gave them full guest time and they talked to the host and other guests before or after performing. There were some unlikely pairings that made it less stuffy and forced.
	10:51am pantz: What an incredible Husker Du cover!
	10:53am Goyim in the AM: This incredible single invented emo, which is something you shouldn't hold against it.
	10:53am Greg from ZONE 5: OK, but nobody is allowed to listen until noon. Actually, wait, no you have to stick around for Belock. And Jim and Scott…OK, listen when nobody is on the air: www.wfmu.org...
	👻 10:53am karlward: Joe I never figured you for a early Husker Du Bob Mould type. If I ever thought about this in advance, I'd be sure that you'd land on the Grant Hart side.
	10:53am KP in DC: Last verse, same as the first
	10:54am steveo: note to oddsmakers: if there's someone yelling on Joe's show, it's probably Bob Mould :)
	10:55am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy Monday, Joe! Love this Husker cover. Brings back the memory of having Flip Your Wig on endless repeat for the better part of a year. Ha! Great show, as ever. Hope you had a great holiday!
	10:55am Joe McG: @karlward: I'm full of surprises! @steveo: I'm so predictable!
	10:55am KP in DC: I was thinking Jean Shepherd!
	10:56am Brendan: ‘Mr Husker Du that was great , but could we do it once more with feeling?’ , (said absolutely no record producer f***ing ever.)
	10:58am Joe McG: Thanks, S&M&S! I hope you had a great holiday, too! @Brendan: Ha ha ha
	11:00am jmr3: Ahh - I love the sound of Thorogood's guitar on his first two records, before he went all cornball beer commercial MTV. Might not be authentic, but it sure worked for 14 year old me in 1979 and it still sounds right to me now.
	👻 11:02am nortonjutland: great show Joe.... from start to finish
	11:03am TheLoneliestMonk: the thorogood rounder stuff was alright. worst thing that ever happened to him was airplay on mTV!
	11:03am Roberto: People DO trash George! I knew someone whose friend allegedly went out with him briefly and she said he was laaaame :)
	11:05am pantz: Thanks for the swag, Joe! It was waiting for me when I got back home from the holidays with family. Can't wait to listen to your premium.
	11:05am βrian: Françoise, Françoise, Françoise !
	11:06am The Oscar: Do Talking Heads have Small Faces?
	11:07am Brendan: Its a lamb eat lamb world.
	11:07am melinda: That will be a good Techtonic.
	👻 11:08am tim from champaign: My friend and I were goofing on guessing what were the favorite songs of contemporary politicians. We came up with that Joe Biden and Bill Clinton get hammered together, put on sunglasses and then sing Thorogood's Bad To The Bone.
	11:09am Granny Spicy Tuna: While you were playing George T, Sheena's Jungle Room was playing Plasmatics.
	11:09am Asheville Jon: holy cow, just checked out the Sheena's Jungle Room Stream, and FEAR 'beef baloney' live is the first song I hear??? holy cow, Joe, you have extremely stiff competition!
	11:09am melinda: I tuned in to Sheena's Jungle Room recently thinking I might not be in the mood for its genre but I totally got into it, looking forward to more.
	11:11am Garden Variety Lurker: You probably know better than me Joe. But while there are just 3 big majors in the recording industry, I wonder if their dominance is something that could be questioned given all the other avenues available for recorded music. Just a thought.
	11:11am David in London: @Tim, ha ha. Then they followed up with a version of ‘Jump’, with Clinton as David Lee Roth and Biden doing some Van Halen air guitar shredding...
	11:11am jmd: Art Brut?!
	11:13am TDK60: Hello.
	11:14am The Oscar: Looking forward to this block-- can't think of many examples off the top of my head...
	11:14am listener monica: i read "Laurel Canyon" - cass was quite the lady.
	11:15am steveo: this song has its own website, which i will study in detail later :) www.creequealley.com
	👻 11:15am tim from champaign: @David in London - hahaha! That's good!
	11:16am agillyo: Penelope Bagieu put out a biographical graphic novel about Mama Cass a year or two ago; cool perspective on this story, I highly recommend!
	11:17am Listener Robert: When that song was new, I heard the lyric as, "And no-one's getting fat steppin' on a cat."
	11:17am Dean: I guess "Action Time Vision" isn't really a story. Too bad.
	11:18am Brendan: Revisionist!
	11:18am Greg from ZONE 5: I keep forgetting about Sheena's Jungle Room! The words "mid-century sleaze culture" really get my heart rate up.
	11:19am mb: Morning DJ Joe McG. Dipping in late here.
	11:19am Itzall Ablurr: "All you stri-ations 'cross the naaaation"
	11:20am Krys O.: I can spot that SDQ in one measure!
	11:20am KP in DC: Big Paul Revere & Raiders fan (have seen Mark Lindsay twice) but don’t remember this one. Except having heard it here recently
	👻 11:21am tim from champaign: Cool segment, Joe!
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign: This Sir Douglas song is like a Cajun Velvet's jam.
	11:22am Joe McG: @tim: Isn't it funny that bands wrote these songs about themselves?
	11:24am jmr3: Let's just acknowledge that you could play Springsteen (at least two songs) and the Dead here, but we all know those songs, so you don't have to.
	11:24am Roberto: "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston. You know you want to!
	11:24am Rick A.: How about The Maddox Brothers and Rose "Thirty-Five Dollars and a Dream"? It's a beautiful tribute to the westward migration.
	👻 11:24am Hughie Considine: What a rich vein. Truly inspired set, @Joe!
	11:24am The Oscar: Not quite the same thing, but I've always imagined the video for "Today" by Smashing Pumpkins as their origin story. Billy Corgan is a rogue ice cream man, and just picked the rest of the band up off the road. It honestly makes me like them a lot more.
	👻 11:25am tim from champaign: @Joe - Yeah, bands enhancing their own mystique through their own song is pretty cool!
	👻 11:25am tadpoles: Thanks for digging these up Joe, nice segment. All I can think of is "The Ballad of John & Yoko".
	11:25am Joe McG: @Roberto: I'm playing Boston next week. (I'm not kidding!) @Rick: Nice suggestion!
	👻 11:25am karlward: I'm pretty sure this origin story leaves out the part where Van Morrison and Bjork sprung fully formed from the head of the Celtic god Ialonus.
	11:26am Joe McG: @tadpoles: I think I'll hit that one. Never played it before. @karl: Ha ha ha
	11:26am David in London: We are the Metermen by The Meters would sneak some New Orleans fonk into the mix...
	👻 11:26am Hughie Considine: I'm thinking of Boston and Grand Funk, but not wishing for them.
	11:28am Brendan: Ballads about band formation, recording and musical trajectories? Interesting concept. As long as you skip Smoke on the Water and Shooting Star.
	👻 11:28am karlward: "We Are the Speednuts" by The Speednuts. Lyrics: "We are the Speednuts / Speednuts, Speednuts / We are the Speednuts / And this is our self-proclaiming song." I have a bootleg of that somewhere.
	11:28am jmr3: The Minutemen's History Lesson pt 2 would be OK, though, corndogs.
	11:28am Jeff Golick: Great set, @Joe. Hi. Mekons sing their own saga, too.
	11:28am Joe McG: @jmr3: I think they curse in it.
	11:29am TDK60: There's a fun cut by The Animals -Story of Bo Diddley- on their meeting him on UK tour, but that category is more artist-meets-another.
	11:29am Joe McG: @TDK: You're about to hear it anyway!
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: Morrison and Jagger were listening to the same records.
	11:30am Mister Dobalina: This track is pretty awesome.
	11:31am Garden Variety Lurker: I was giggling thinking about how you could play Beastie Boys "Paul Revere" after Paul Revere and the Raiders.
	11:31am TDK60: wow!
	11:31am Mr Tee: Let's not forget Ballad of Mott or even Saturday Gigs from MTH. Also corndog though it may be, Come Hear the Band by April Wine fits the bill. And this one doesn't rely on a clanking fire bell.
	11:32am P-90: Thinking it’s maybe a shame the Banana Splits never did one of these “origin story” songs. You know, about how the boys met up, found their style and developed their act, got the deal with the Kroffts... the “behind the scenes” narrative: personal ups and downs, internal rivalries and tensions, etc.
	11:32am Joe McG: You guys have guessed all of my songs! Stay tuned, Mr. Tee.
	11:33am jmr3: @ Joe McG - Indeed, I think they add a present participle starting with f when they call themselves corndogs, don't they? You're thinking on your feet on air.
	11:34am steveo: reminds me of Richard Thompson's "Guitar Heroes"
	11:34am melinda: @Greg the jungle room is fun, there were old movie trailers sprinkled among the music when I listened to the stream.
	11:35am The Oscar: Jello Biafra's "Buy My Snake Oil" almost fits, but it's less about his past and more about his hypothetical future.
	👻 11:36am tim from champaign: Are there any story songs about FMU DJs? The Legend of Todd-O-Phonic? The Ballad of X-Ray and Jonesy?
	11:36am still b/p: Never heard this. Animals cool schoolin'.
	11:37am TDK60: Those blues Geordies!
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: Eric Burdon. Funny and self deprecating.
	11:39am Mr Tee: nice! I love this feature and have been meaning to chime in before. Now that you've already played something unsuitable to the FMUmasses (George T), maybe you can double down with something never before heard on the station I'd wager: Gabriel-era Genesis! When you're just doing plain stories, or more specifically, demigod origin myth story-songs, Fountain of Salamacis will cover that theme like a wet toga!
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: David and Ziggy split up over musical simlarities.
	11:40am Brendan: Songs or album titles by bands that announce the band's name. Hey Hey it's the Monkee's, We are Devo. Or fictitious bands, Sgt. Peppers, Bennie and Jets, Sultans of Swing etc.. discuss
	👻 11:41am tim from champaign: Would Lou Reed's "Coney Island Baby" work here?
	11:42am Granny Spicy Tuna: SF Bay Area is a hub for bands with extensive and indulgent mythologies. An especially special one was the 70's-retro-pop-art-cheeseball band Enrique, with their origin song, "The Band in the Plastic Bubble."
	11:43am rsj: i don't anticipate a rap turn here but there is no shortage of those
	11:44am Joe McG: @Mr. Tee: Ha ha ha! Maybe someday.
	11:44am Dean: One DJ used "Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats" as bed music.
	11:47am steveo: possibly the first time I've heard the BoJ&Y on the radio (?)
	11:47am Joe McG: @rsj: Oh, I hadn't thought of that! That would have been good.
	11:47am Bill W: I'm guessing this set ends with "The Ballad of Joe McGasko."
	11:47am Greg from ZONE 5: @tim: Some Marathon's back Ted Leo came by and re-wrote The Jam's "That's Entertainment" to be all about FMU.
	11:47am Joe McG: @Bill W: I'll have to write one!
	👻 11:47am Webhamster Henry: Has Macca ever covered this?
	11:48am listener Rey: These are all great. Cover of the Rolling Stone kinda fits too
	11:48am TDK60: "?Que pasa New York?!"
	11:48am Itzall Ablurr: Rock, John, ROCK!!!
	11:48am The Oscar: A friend and I once recorded "Ballad of John and Yoko" as part of an intentionally awful Beatles tribute band called Butcher Cover. I really need to dig out those tapes.
	11:48am Dominick: Yes!!!!
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: @steveo Uncle Michael played it last Friday, I believe. Lennon is a wry bugger.
	👻 11:48am Webhamster Henry: There may not be much difference between Richard Nixon and Chairman Mao - if you strip them naked!
	11:51am Granny Spicy Tuna: I have a weakness for bad covers, intentional or by divine intervention. July 4th Toilet did a cover of the entire White Album. It is the winner of them all.
	👻 11:51am Brian in UK: Excellent as ever, Joe. Peaceful week everyone.
	👻 11:51am Webhamster Henry: Any time for Vine Street?
	11:52am Krys O.: Ah, bands being self-referential is not so rare.
	11:52am steveo: @brian --nice, Uncle Michael. yeah i thought about and i had probably heard it as a kid on a "breakfast with the beatles" show or something. I've certainly played Hey Jude enough on my own:)
	11:52am KP in DC: Que pasa, New York! That’s what I would like to know
	11:53am Itzall Ablurr: My robot feet can't stop cloggin'!
	11:53am Listener Scott: Ballad of Billy the Kid by Billy Joel arguably qualifies for its last few verses. But you really don't have to go there Joe.
	11:53am David in London: Chilli Willi, outstanding Joe. Snakefinger in the house.
	11:53am Mark in Toronto: So You Want To Be a Rock'n'Roll Star?
	👻 11:54am tadpoles: A lot of fun, thanks Joe.
	11:54am steveo: super show & fun last set! thanks joe!
	11:55am rsj: This has a premium sound
	11:55am mb: Strong finish! Thx Joe
	11:56am Joe McG: I'm only playing this one because someone requested it! ;)
	11:56am steveo: way to go joe, burn the place to the ground!
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: "Movin' Out," Billy Joel's other origin story song.
	11:56am Greg from ZONE 5: I am hungry for a candy bar / I think I'll eat a Mounds
	11:57am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha ha!
	11:57am steveo: what about MFing piano man?
	11:57am Mark in Toronto: The Story of Rock and Roll by the Turtles perhaps fits in.
	11:57am crateslinger: GWAR has an origin song.
	👻 11:57am Hughie Considine: There's always that one stupid with a flare gun who ruins the fun for everybody.
	11:58am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! See you next week--in DECEMBER!
	👻 11:58am Hughie Considine: steveo, that was fiction, man. Davy was actually in the Merchant Marines, not the navy. True story!
	12:00pm Brendan: @Joe, thanks!
	12:00pm Agent Peter: ThANK YOU for not playing Boston!!
	👻 12:00pm tim from champaign: Excellent show, Joe! Thanks a lot.
	12:00pm jmr3: @Hughie - Yep, there's always some stupid. But not everyone has access to the Rolling Truck Stones Thing.
	12:00pm Beast of Boonton: Cool show today Joe
	12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!

	9:07am Brendan: @Joe. Thanks for gettin’ me up easy.
	9:07am The Oscar: Mornin' all! Bummed to interrupt my long weekend/last-week-of-Filmstruck binge with work, but Bobbie makes it better.
	9:07am Vincent Nifigance: I have an advance copy of the new Mercury Rev cover of this album with guest singers. Not sure if that is of interest to anyone, but it's a thing that has happened.
	9:08am linderstorm: Morning, Joe!
	9:09am steveo: whoa hey what day is it? where am i? oh....hi Joe, good to hear you!
	👻 9:09am karlward: I am wondering aloud what McGasko's "Lust for Life" is. By that, I mean what's his super high energy jam? Like if McGasko were on the run from the cops, what's the lead single from that soundtrack?
	9:10am D in St Pete: Happy Thanksgiving hangover all you jive turkeys
	9:11am P-90: Hoping to grab that new Bobbie Gentry 8 CD box on Cyber Monday...
	9:14am Joe McG: @P-90: If you see a good deal, please let me know. I really want one, too. Hey, everybody!
	9:15am P-90: DJ Joe McG: will do!
	9:16am listener monica: yo!
	9:17am Phillippe Bastille: Hey all! Happy Monday!
	9:21am Hoboken Jack: Good morning, Joe!
	👻 9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Tell 'em Auricle Communications sent you and WFMU gets a piece. smile.amazon.com
	9:22am Vincent Nifigance: Good job @KenFromHP
	9:23am melinda: Thanks for the link and reminder Ken.
	9:23am melinda: Nice set!
	9:24am TheLoneliestMonk: has anyone bought any of those boxes put out by Omnivore? i found the chris bell one kinda tempting...
	9:26am listener monica: marianne is sounding like buffy ste. marie on this song.
	9:28am Joe McG: @karlward: Right now it's "Pretty Feelings" by Music City! @everybody: If there are amazing deals out there to be had, pass them along. :)
	9:37am Irene: Brilliant opening set, Joe!
	9:39am Joe McG: Hi, Irene! I think I just lulled everyone back to sleep with that last track, but I'll wake them back up eventually! :)
	9:39am Aaron Working In Newark: good morning Joe
	9:41am TheLoneliestMonk: jeebuz H, joe! what is this, ry cooder on quaaludes?
	9:44am Joe McG: @Monk: Ha ha ha! Hey, Aaron!
	9:45am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I borrowed a Ry Cooder CD from the library, but did not like it much. I tried. Is there one or two really amazing Ry Cooder albums? I think he plays on Captain Beefheart's Safe as Milk. I also heard he walked out of Woodstock when he saw Captain Beefheart fall off the stage. Not sure if that's true. Anybody?
	9:45am mauri: Heyahey Joe. Sounding good.
	9:46am Joe McG: Heya, mauri! How's things on the other side of the planet?
	👻 9:49am queems: hey joe & all!
	👻 9:49am b!!!: This is a lovely set!
	9:50am Vincent Nifigance: @Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I heard Cooder left the Magic Band after someone pulled a crossbow on Don. I think fans regard 'Into the Purple Valley' and 'Bop Til You Drop' as Cooder's best, though the latter is supposed to be his 'commercial album. I prefer his soundtrack work, particularly Paris Texas, and Crossroads.
	9:50am dale: love this. sounds like ralph lundsten
	9:50am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning, Joe and everyone. Love this one from Kosmischer Läufer!
	9:50am melinda: The Kosmic music is so good.
	9:51am melinda: @Wild Neil I like the Paris TX soundtrack.
	9:52am Ike: Dig dig dig!
	9:54am mauri: Good. slightly freezing. waiting for more snow!
	9:55am βrian: Mmm, pastry!
	9:56am steveo: groovy set!
	9:57am steveo: remember General Hospital? Bo used to mount Hope all the time!
	9:57am Brendan: Ah the dulcet tones of the station id over accordian
	👻 9:57am officina: Great set Joe !
	9:59am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac: we're trying to NOT fall asleep at work today, Brudda!
	10:00am βrian: There's a music library where I work, but I gather that's different.
	10:01am TheLoneliestMonk: i'm contemplating carving up one of my guitars to simulate ry's sound. someone finally made a lap steel type pickup that you drop into a regular guitar. then you gotta put a gold tone in the neck slot.
	10:03am TheLoneliestMonk: @VN, WildNeil: he has also done some soundtrack work for werner herzog as well. e.g. grizzly man
	10:07am Vincent Nifigance: @TheLonliestMonk O think that was Jim O'Rourke and Richard Thompson. Great though.
	10:07am Brendan: This hiatus surely must be a prelude to Freebird
	10:09am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha
	10:15am TheLoneliestMonk: @VN rightchooare!
	👻 10:16am Brian in UK: Hey Joe from a rapidly light-fading UK.
	👻 10:18am Brian in UK: Gene Clark singing 'See the Sky About to Rain' on Byrds (reunion album) is a good case of someone making anothers' song their own.
	10:18am TheLoneliestMonk: omnivorerecordings.com...
	10:19am Joe McG: Hey Brian! I think that Byrds reunion LP is a bit underrated. There are some nice things on there.
	10:20am David in London: Hey Joe, lovely set today.
	10:21am Joe McG: Thanks, David! UK strong on the board today!
	👻 10:22am Brian in UK: Looks like Grasshopper from the Revs listens to Ubuweb (see second tweet) twitter.com... Love the early Lucinda. Lots of compassion.
	10:24am Roberto: I remember hearing an unfinished version of Something About What Happens on KCRW in '89 or so.
	10:27am Morphe: Cleaning body, soul, house, clothes all day ... listening but no time to read... Thanks Joe.. gotta go Joe.. I'll catch the ending in the archives Thanks for the tunes...
	10:35am melinda: I really liked the Jay Bolotin song too.
	10:36am MplsCoco: Oh Joe!! So wonderful! ❤️ Thank you! And my new favorite album title: Jesus was a Capricorn!
	10:38am Joe McG: @MplsCoco: Great title, I agree (speaking as a Capricorn)! ;)
	10:38am MplsCoco: Good to know Joe! ;)
	10:38am Vincent Nifigance: @TheLonliestMonk: This is my last payday before Christmas, when my family get no presents, I'm blaming you.
	10:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	10:41am Joe McG: Hey Greg! Everybody, Greg did his very first WFMU show late last Friday. Go check it out!
	10:41am Brendan: I just got up and I’m ready to get down.
	10:42am TheLoneliestMonk: @VN bwaha! i told ya, some of those omnivore boxes seem tasty, i don't wanna be the guinea pig tho....
	10:43am Mike tp: seen Kris Kristofferson with Zappa N Jimmy walker on Mike Douglas show.17 minutes plus Zappa performed N showed a cllaymation video....
	10:44am Joe McG: @Mike: The mind reels!
	10:47am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks for the plug! (I'm still recovering…)
	10:48am Joe McG: @Greg: Sound your funky horn, Greg! Feel free to post a link here. :)
	👻 10:49am Ken From Hyde Park: When the plane carrying Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper went down, Bobby Vee filled in for the show for which they were scheduled.
	10:50am Brendan: Musicians were great on those old shows when they actually gave them full guest time and they talked to the host and other guests before or after performing. There were some unlikely pairings that made it less stuffy and forced.
	10:51am pantz: What an incredible Husker Du cover!
	10:53am Goyim in the AM: This incredible single invented emo, which is something you shouldn't hold against it.
	10:53am Greg from ZONE 5: OK, but nobody is allowed to listen until noon. Actually, wait, no you have to stick around for Belock. And Jim and Scott…OK, listen when nobody is on the air: www.wfmu.org...
	👻 10:53am karlward: Joe I never figured you for a early Husker Du Bob Mould type. If I ever thought about this in advance, I'd be sure that you'd land on the Grant Hart side.
	10:53am KP in DC: Last verse, same as the first
	10:54am steveo: note to oddsmakers: if there's someone yelling on Joe's show, it's probably Bob Mould :)
	10:55am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy Monday, Joe! Love this Husker cover. Brings back the memory of having Flip Your Wig on endless repeat for the better part of a year. Ha! Great show, as ever. Hope you had a great holiday!
	10:55am Joe McG: @karlward: I'm full of surprises! @steveo: I'm so predictable!
	10:55am KP in DC: I was thinking Jean Shepherd!
	10:56am Brendan: ‘Mr Husker Du that was great , but could we do it once more with feeling?’ , (said absolutely no record producer f***ing ever.)
	10:58am Joe McG: Thanks, S&M&S! I hope you had a great holiday, too! @Brendan: Ha ha ha
	11:00am jmr3: Ahh - I love the sound of Thorogood's guitar on his first two records, before he went all cornball beer commercial MTV. Might not be authentic, but it sure worked for 14 year old me in 1979 and it still sounds right to me now.
	👻 11:02am nortonjutland: great show Joe.... from start to finish
	11:03am TheLoneliestMonk: the thorogood rounder stuff was alright. worst thing that ever happened to him was airplay on mTV!
	11:03am Roberto: People DO trash George! I knew someone whose friend allegedly went out with him briefly and she said he was laaaame :)
	11:05am pantz: Thanks for the swag, Joe! It was waiting for me when I got back home from the holidays with family. Can't wait to listen to your premium.
	11:05am βrian: Françoise, Françoise, Françoise !
	11:06am The Oscar: Do Talking Heads have Small Faces?
	11:07am Brendan: Its a lamb eat lamb world.
	11:07am melinda: That will be a good Techtonic.
	👻 11:08am tim from champaign: My friend and I were goofing on guessing what were the favorite songs of contemporary politicians. We came up with that Joe Biden and Bill Clinton get hammered together, put on sunglasses and then sing Thorogood's Bad To The Bone.
	11:09am Granny Spicy Tuna: While you were playing George T, Sheena's Jungle Room was playing Plasmatics.
	11:09am Asheville Jon: holy cow, just checked out the Sheena's Jungle Room Stream, and FEAR 'beef baloney' live is the first song I hear??? holy cow, Joe, you have extremely stiff competition!
	11:09am melinda: I tuned in to Sheena's Jungle Room recently thinking I might not be in the mood for its genre but I totally got into it, looking forward to more.
	11:11am Garden Variety Lurker: You probably know better than me Joe. But while there are just 3 big majors in the recording industry, I wonder if their dominance is something that could be questioned given all the other avenues available for recorded music. Just a thought.
	11:11am David in London: @Tim, ha ha. Then they followed up with a version of ‘Jump’, with Clinton as David Lee Roth and Biden doing some Van Halen air guitar shredding...
	11:11am jmd: Art Brut?!
	11:13am TDK60: Hello.
	11:14am The Oscar: Looking forward to this block-- can't think of many examples off the top of my head...
	11:14am listener monica: i read "Laurel Canyon" - cass was quite the lady.
	11:15am steveo: this song has its own website, which i will study in detail later :) www.creequealley.com
	👻 11:15am tim from champaign: @David in London - hahaha! That's good!
	11:16am agillyo: Penelope Bagieu put out a biographical graphic novel about Mama Cass a year or two ago; cool perspective on this story, I highly recommend!
	11:17am Listener Robert: When that song was new, I heard the lyric as, "And no-one's getting fat steppin' on a cat."
	11:17am Dean: I guess "Action Time Vision" isn't really a story. Too bad.
	11:18am Brendan: Revisionist!
	11:18am Greg from ZONE 5: I keep forgetting about Sheena's Jungle Room! The words "mid-century sleaze culture" really get my heart rate up.
	11:19am mb: Morning DJ Joe McG. Dipping in late here.
	11:19am Itzall Ablurr: "All you stri-ations 'cross the naaaation"
	11:20am Krys O.: I can spot that SDQ in one measure!
	11:20am KP in DC: Big Paul Revere & Raiders fan (have seen Mark Lindsay twice) but don’t remember this one. Except having heard it here recently
	👻 11:21am tim from champaign: Cool segment, Joe!
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign: This Sir Douglas song is like a Cajun Velvet's jam.
	11:22am Joe McG: @tim: Isn't it funny that bands wrote these songs about themselves?
	11:24am jmr3: Let's just acknowledge that you could play Springsteen (at least two songs) and the Dead here, but we all know those songs, so you don't have to.
	11:24am Roberto: "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston. You know you want to!
	11:24am Rick A.: How about The Maddox Brothers and Rose "Thirty-Five Dollars and a Dream"? It's a beautiful tribute to the westward migration.
	👻 11:24am Hughie Considine: What a rich vein. Truly inspired set, @Joe!
	11:24am The Oscar: Not quite the same thing, but I've always imagined the video for "Today" by Smashing Pumpkins as their origin story. Billy Corgan is a rogue ice cream man, and just picked the rest of the band up off the road. It honestly makes me like them a lot more.
	👻 11:25am tim from champaign: @Joe - Yeah, bands enhancing their own mystique through their own song is pretty cool!
	👻 11:25am tadpoles: Thanks for digging these up Joe, nice segment. All I can think of is "The Ballad of John & Yoko".
	11:25am Joe McG: @Roberto: I'm playing Boston next week. (I'm not kidding!) @Rick: Nice suggestion!
	👻 11:25am karlward: I'm pretty sure this origin story leaves out the part where Van Morrison and Bjork sprung fully formed from the head of the Celtic god Ialonus.
	11:26am Joe McG: @tadpoles: I think I'll hit that one. Never played it before. @karl: Ha ha ha
	11:26am David in London: We are the Metermen by The Meters would sneak some New Orleans fonk into the mix...
	👻 11:26am Hughie Considine: I'm thinking of Boston and Grand Funk, but not wishing for them.
	11:28am Brendan: Ballads about band formation, recording and musical trajectories? Interesting concept. As long as you skip Smoke on the Water and Shooting Star.
	👻 11:28am karlward: "We Are the Speednuts" by The Speednuts. Lyrics: "We are the Speednuts / Speednuts, Speednuts / We are the Speednuts / And this is our self-proclaiming song." I have a bootleg of that somewhere.
	11:28am jmr3: The Minutemen's History Lesson pt 2 would be OK, though, corndogs.
	11:28am Jeff Golick: Great set, @Joe. Hi. Mekons sing their own saga, too.
	11:28am Joe McG: @jmr3: I think they curse in it.
	11:29am TDK60: There's a fun cut by The Animals -Story of Bo Diddley- on their meeting him on UK tour, but that category is more artist-meets-another.
	11:29am Joe McG: @TDK: You're about to hear it anyway!
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: Morrison and Jagger were listening to the same records.
	11:30am Mister Dobalina: This track is pretty awesome.
	11:31am Garden Variety Lurker: I was giggling thinking about how you could play Beastie Boys "Paul Revere" after Paul Revere and the Raiders.
	11:31am TDK60: wow!
	11:31am Mr Tee: Let's not forget Ballad of Mott or even Saturday Gigs from MTH. Also corndog though it may be, Come Hear the Band by April Wine fits the bill. And this one doesn't rely on a clanking fire bell.
	11:32am P-90: Thinking it’s maybe a shame the Banana Splits never did one of these “origin story” songs. You know, about how the boys met up, found their style and developed their act, got the deal with the Kroffts... the “behind the scenes” narrative: personal ups and downs, internal rivalries and tensions, etc.
	11:32am Joe McG: You guys have guessed all of my songs! Stay tuned, Mr. Tee.
	11:33am jmr3: @ Joe McG - Indeed, I think they add a present participle starting with f when they call themselves corndogs, don't they? You're thinking on your feet on air.
	11:34am steveo: reminds me of Richard Thompson's "Guitar Heroes"
	11:34am melinda: @Greg the jungle room is fun, there were old movie trailers sprinkled among the music when I listened to the stream.
	11:35am The Oscar: Jello Biafra's "Buy My Snake Oil" almost fits, but it's less about his past and more about his hypothetical future.
	👻 11:36am tim from champaign: Are there any story songs about FMU DJs? The Legend of Todd-O-Phonic? The Ballad of X-Ray and Jonesy?
	11:36am still b/p: Never heard this. Animals cool schoolin'.
	11:37am TDK60: Those blues Geordies!
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: Eric Burdon. Funny and self deprecating.
	11:39am Mr Tee: nice! I love this feature and have been meaning to chime in before. Now that you've already played something unsuitable to the FMUmasses (George T), maybe you can double down with something never before heard on the station I'd wager: Gabriel-era Genesis! When you're just doing plain stories, or more specifically, demigod origin myth story-songs, Fountain of Salamacis will cover that theme like a wet toga!
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: David and Ziggy split up over musical simlarities.
	11:40am Brendan: Songs or album titles by bands that announce the band's name. Hey Hey it's the Monkee's, We are Devo. Or fictitious bands, Sgt. Peppers, Bennie and Jets, Sultans of Swing etc.. discuss
	👻 11:41am tim from champaign: Would Lou Reed's "Coney Island Baby" work here?
	11:42am Granny Spicy Tuna: SF Bay Area is a hub for bands with extensive and indulgent mythologies. An especially special one was the 70's-retro-pop-art-cheeseball band Enrique, with their origin song, "The Band in the Plastic Bubble."
	11:43am rsj: i don't anticipate a rap turn here but there is no shortage of those
	11:44am Joe McG: @Mr. Tee: Ha ha ha! Maybe someday.
	11:44am Dean: One DJ used "Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats" as bed music.
	11:47am steveo: possibly the first time I've heard the BoJ&Y on the radio (?)
	11:47am Joe McG: @rsj: Oh, I hadn't thought of that! That would have been good.
	11:47am Bill W: I'm guessing this set ends with "The Ballad of Joe McGasko."
	11:47am Greg from ZONE 5: @tim: Some Marathon's back Ted Leo came by and re-wrote The Jam's "That's Entertainment" to be all about FMU.
	11:47am Joe McG: @Bill W: I'll have to write one!
	👻 11:47am Webhamster Henry: Has Macca ever covered this?
	11:48am listener Rey: These are all great. Cover of the Rolling Stone kinda fits too
	11:48am TDK60: "?Que pasa New York?!"
	11:48am Itzall Ablurr: Rock, John, ROCK!!!
	11:48am The Oscar: A friend and I once recorded "Ballad of John and Yoko" as part of an intentionally awful Beatles tribute band called Butcher Cover. I really need to dig out those tapes.
	11:48am Dominick: Yes!!!!
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: @steveo Uncle Michael played it last Friday, I believe. Lennon is a wry bugger.
	👻 11:48am Webhamster Henry: There may not be much difference between Richard Nixon and Chairman Mao - if you strip them naked!
	11:51am Granny Spicy Tuna: I have a weakness for bad covers, intentional or by divine intervention. July 4th Toilet did a cover of the entire White Album. It is the winner of them all.
	👻 11:51am Brian in UK: Excellent as ever, Joe. Peaceful week everyone.
	👻 11:51am Webhamster Henry: Any time for Vine Street?
	11:52am Krys O.: Ah, bands being self-referential is not so rare.
	11:52am steveo: @brian --nice, Uncle Michael. yeah i thought about and i had probably heard it as a kid on a "breakfast with the beatles" show or something. I've certainly played Hey Jude enough on my own:)
	11:52am KP in DC: Que pasa, New York! That’s what I would like to know
	11:53am Itzall Ablurr: My robot feet can't stop cloggin'!
	11:53am Listener Scott: Ballad of Billy the Kid by Billy Joel arguably qualifies for its last few verses. But you really don't have to go there Joe.
	11:53am David in London: Chilli Willi, outstanding Joe. Snakefinger in the house.
	11:53am Mark in Toronto: So You Want To Be a Rock'n'Roll Star?
	👻 11:54am tadpoles: A lot of fun, thanks Joe.
	11:54am steveo: super show & fun last set! thanks joe!
	11:55am rsj: This has a premium sound
	11:55am mb: Strong finish! Thx Joe
	11:56am Joe McG: I'm only playing this one because someone requested it! ;)
	11:56am steveo: way to go joe, burn the place to the ground!
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: "Movin' Out," Billy Joel's other origin story song.
	11:56am Greg from ZONE 5: I am hungry for a candy bar / I think I'll eat a Mounds
	11:57am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha ha!
	11:57am steveo: what about MFing piano man?
	11:57am Mark in Toronto: The Story of Rock and Roll by the Turtles perhaps fits in.
	11:57am crateslinger: GWAR has an origin song.
	👻 11:57am Hughie Considine: There's always that one stupid with a flare gun who ruins the fun for everybody.
	11:58am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! See you next week--in DECEMBER!
	👻 11:58am Hughie Considine: steveo, that was fiction, man. Davy was actually in the Merchant Marines, not the navy. True story!
	12:00pm Brendan: @Joe, thanks!
	12:00pm Agent Peter: ThANK YOU for not playing Boston!!
	👻 12:00pm tim from champaign: Excellent show, Joe! Thanks a lot.
	12:00pm jmr3: @Hughie - Yep, there's always some stupid. But not everyone has access to the Rolling Truck Stones Thing.
	12:00pm Beast of Boonton: Cool show today Joe
	12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
