	9:13am Crei6hton: Morning
	♥ 9:16am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Is it that time already. Rhetorical question.
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: @Brian: You know me, I always know what time it is. :)
	9:21am PKNY: It's tough to beat the Gil Scott-Heron OG, but damn did Esther Phillips get pretty close!
	♥ 9:22am Guido from Cologne: Esther Phillips' version of Gil Scott Heron's "Home Is Where the Hatred Is" gets quite a few plays on WFMU recently.
	9:24am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Thankful that, for me, home is where the turkey is.
	♥ 9:24am pantz: Happy to be in the soul train this morning with Joe "Cornelius" McGasko
	9:24am PKNY: @Joe must have known I needed some Gil today. Once I hear that voice and some Fender Rhodes, things automatically get better!
	♥ 9:26am Joe McG: @Guido: Heard Duane play it last week (probably from the original single) and it just happens to be on the new Dave Godin CD in the new bin this morning. Lucky me!
	9:27am Marley Dogg: Awesome show so far Joe!
	♥ 9:29am LastWhiteRhino: Good morning Joe, just another Pleasant Valley Monday.
	9:29am PKNY: Wonder who is playing the harmonica on this...sounds like Stevie, but I doubt it's him.
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: @PKNY: He announces him by name at the end of the tune, but I forget! @Marley Dogg: Thanks!
	♥ 9:32am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	9:36am chresti: Morning Joe and noise!
	9:37am Davee: Hi Joe

	♥ 9:41am steveo: Good morning, Joe McGasko! Good morning, everyone!
	9:41am YETI BOB: totally distracted!
	9:41am Marley Dogg: Consider me distracted!
	♥ 9:43am Par Ubi: Good morning Joe & everyone!
	9:43am Davee: Give me a beer
	9:43am Snoochienucci: whiskey for breakfast?
	♥ 9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HOOZ ! :)
	♥ 9:44am LCBD: Oh damn, I love this song so much!
	♥ 9:44am melinda: Morning Joe and everyone! I missed the first part of the show because I was investigating my house post-mold remediation. It looked good.
	9:44am YETI BOB: this album has always been sort of a "guilty pleasure" for me
	♥ 9:44am Hughie Considine: Roger refused to sing this one and frequently struggled to sing Pet's extreme stuff that did not resonate for him personally.
	♥ 9:45am Hughie Considine: er, Pete's
	♥ 9:45am Brian in UK: @melinda, that is the way to start the week!
	♥ 9:47am Joe McG: @Hughie: I'm really glad Pete sang it!
	♥ 9:47am Brian in UK: Townshend and Lane's album Rough Mix is a gem. So why did I sell it? Another rhetorical question.
	9:47am YETI BOB: @Hughie: Pete sounds like Roger here
	♥ 9:48am melinda: @Yeti I thought it was Roger. Silly me.
	♥ 9:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I found The Who's debut album in $1.99 binoculars - & coulda been their only fan far as I knew... Probly got By Numbers later than it was released - but let's say I was barely a teen? trying to register - this... Know for sure I wad awlready a stone WhoFan by the time Moon passed in 78...
	♥ 9:48am steveo: wow, what a great song, i don't think i ever paid attention to it before
	9:48am YETI BOB: @melinda: i thought it was Roger too
	♥ 9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *bin ...not amused by autocorrect...
	♥ 9:49am Hughie Considine: Me too, @Joe--I've never not loved Pete's vocals!
	♥ 9:50am steveo: just glanced at the beginning of the playlist and thought the first album at the top was "sounds of libation"
	♥ 9:50am Brian in UK: Ah Lal. Just got a copy of Teach Me to Be a Summer's Morning. Quite wonderful. Don't need no buggers help.
	♥ 9:50am melinda: I like the Watersons
	9:51am βrian: Booger arms is a new concept for me.
	♥ 9:51am melinda: Great segue
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @steveo: ha ha! That's where we're at right now.
	9:51am βrian: Ah, but those voices.
	♥ 9:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pete / Roger - what a dyad... Original Who SunSigns covered Earth Air Fire Water - fwiw...
	♥ 9:53am melinda: I like all the vocals- Pete, Roger, Lal, Linda...
	9:53am Mike Wolf: it’s “bugger’s arms” but were she here my guess is she wouldn’t mind it
	♥ 9:53am frozen_peas: I didn't know I was in this kind of mood today!
	♥ 9:53am Brian in UK: @βrian the word bugger was popular term in the Sixties or thereabouts. A more polite term Bugger Off was better than the F word.
	♥ 9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: English do Dystopia real well... Was a lot of 'Existentialism' in the 1970s for a kid to process...part of being GenX mebee...
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: @melinda: Me, too! @frozen_peas: There will be other moods later, don't despair! :)
	9:54am Mike Wolf: This is an outstanding Joe McGasko program, I agree with the community
	♥ 9:54am steveo: indeed!
	9:55am βrian: I'm familiar with the word, I'd just never heard it pronounced to rhyme with hooker.
	♥ 9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bugger means in thru the out door if not remiss...
	9:56am βrian: [kinda rhyme]
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: Thanks, Mike Wolf! It's different every week, but hopefully it comes up to scratch most of the time. :)
	♥ 9:56am Brian in UK: @βrian it is that East Coast Hull accent that makes it sound that way.
	♥ 9:57am melinda: @Rev that's what I thought
	9:57am βrian: I hoist my glass to regional variation.
	♥ 9:57am Brian in UK: Holding out for Whisk(e)y in the Jar.
	9:58am davefromtoronto: i'll never drink again...
	9:59am zopa: Joe, SMK is always sure to draw our attention to Andy's gambling "problem." Is there something you are trying to tell us?
	♥ 9:59am Brian in UK: The word Sod (sodomy) has similar connotations and usage to bugger.
	♥ 10:00am Hughie Considine: I contemplated writing an in-depth study of songs about drinking, and there are just so many, and so many types, it's astounding.
	10:00am βrian: And here I thought sod was a golf term.
	♥ 10:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @BrianUK: In all my Anglophilism - I never put that together...
	10:01am Snoochienucci: @Joe i played a gig last night, shared the stage with Jeffery Lewis, was alot of fun, but as i sit here at work today, not sure drinking songs are helping me out today lolol
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: @zopa: Two words: "Indoor plumbing"!
	♥ 10:02am Brian in UK: The wonders of the Ingerlish language, one word, umpteen meanings.
	10:02am zopa: Ha ha ha!
	♥ 10:03am LastWhiteRhino: Julie London is the cats pajamas.
	♥ 10:04am Webhamster Henry: Hi Joe! This is going to the new TomWaits Tribute album, isn't it?
	♥ 10:04am LastWhiteRhino: Tom Waits is da " bats" pajamas.
	10:05am Hubig Pie: Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks did a rousing version of this song
	10:05am YETI BOB: "The Bitter Cup" by Billy Childish would fit in perfectly (not that Joe needs any suggestions)
	♥ 10:06am Guido from Cologne: There was a duo in Cologne of the name The Piano Has Been Drinking. They did Tom Waits in Cologne dialect. Quite popular in the 80ies/90ies. Guess they reached sections of audience who otherwise never would become aware of Tom Waits.
	♥ 10:08am melinda: I'm just now picking up on the theme of this set.
	♥ 10:08am Webhamster Henry: Tom is pretty dodecaphonic sounding here!
	♥ 10:08am Guido from Cologne: The Fireballs "bottle Of Wine" next? :-)
	10:09am βrian: My triple espresso has found its way home.
	10:10am davefromtoronto: i need a drink...
	10:10am βrian: Now this is what wellingtons are for. I know that much.
	10:11am YETI BOB: Also "Drinker's Peace" by GBV ... one of my favorite Pollard ballads
	♥ 10:12am Brian in UK: An expression over here is 'Fill your boots'. Or get stuck in.
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: You all have such good drinking song suggestions that maybe I'll do a special some time of boozer tunes.
	♥ 10:12am Guido from Cologne: Is there also a "My Computer Has Been Drinking, This Silly spam Mail Is Not My Fault"?
	10:12am Hubig Pie: Liquor , beer and wine by Rev. Horton Heat is my favorite alcohol themed song
	♥ 10:13am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and the rest of you drunkards!
	10:13am βrian: Who accompanied Tobias there?
	♥ 10:13am steveo: My boots have been berblinging.
	10:13am Snoochienucci: This is what i need right here
	10:13am Snoochienucci: tom t hall - i like beer????
	10:14am Hubig Pie: Also "Nails in my coffin" by Floyd Tillman
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: @Brian: That was a gal named Mariya May.
	♥ 10:14am melinda: Pass The Booze is a good straightforward song title.
	♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: @Hubig Pie ...and It's Martini Time or Baby' I'm Drunk.
	10:15am βrian: Steve Goodman: How Much Tequila?
	♥ 10:16am Greg from ZONE 5: I was always partial to "Booze Party" by Three Aces & A Joker.
	10:17am karen eliot: good morning
	♥ 10:18am Brian in UK: The Handsome Family's So Much Wine always makes me smile.
	♥ 10:21am karlward: Arthur Russell. Bring it on.
	10:22am Snoochienucci: Tequilla Shella?
	♥ 10:22am Hughie Considine: The Effects of Alcohol 1. Euphoria (BAC = 0.03 to 0.12 percent) 2. Excitement (BAC = 0.09 to 0.25 percent) 3. Confusion (BAC = 0.18 to 0.30 percent) 4. Stupor (BAC = 0.25 to 0.4 percent) 5. Coma (BAC = 0.35 to 0.50 percent) 6. Death (BAC more than 0.50 percent)
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: I love "Tequila Sheila." I played Tom T. Hall pretty recently, I think on the Stashu fill-in I did!
	10:23am βrian: That alcohol effects list could be incorporated into a dartboard.
	10:26am Snoochienucci: @joe i love tom t hall, such great stuff. my borther got my two of his vinyls for my bday
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: Thanks to Hughie for the helpful inebriation chart!
	♥ 10:28am Brian in UK: WFMU: THE LIBATION STATION.
	10:29am Hubig Pie: Steps 1 and 2 sound like my kind of party. The rest, not so much
	♥ 10:29am Michele with One "L": OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG
	♥ 10:31am Joe McG: @Michele: I'll share it with you! :)
	10:31am Nate K.: Enjoying this set.
	♥ 10:31am Hughie Considine: Always happy to help out, @Joe. Buckle up for safety, everyone!
	♥ 10:31am Michele with One "L": I want to play it tomorrow. So thanks!
	10:32am Mark in Toronto: Sheila Tequila by Sir Douglas Quintet
	10:33am Nate K.: Wow, over before I knew it . . .
	10:33am Marc Francis: Ashley Rhodus
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: Thanks for the reminder, Marc!
	♥ 10:39am Hughie Considine: How many hearts have been torn apart in the last half-century of pop music? It boggles the mind.
	10:42am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Lord, I was born a rainin' Maaaan!
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Give it up for Dickie!
	♥ 10:47am ChrisB.: Yeah, that's from Richard's 1st solo LP, Highway Call, which is way more country than the Allman Bros. canon. Rain was the most radio friendly song.
	♥ 10:53am tim from champaign (now washington): Hello Joe and fellow WFMU listening turkeys.
	10:53am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe!
	♥ 10:54am The Oscar: Been busy working, but love this Dangerous Birds! Rhino put it on the Boston edition of their DIY series back in the day, which was a major eye-opener for me as a youth.
	10:55am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Working to the beat, I swear I thought they were singing "you are definitely a TOMATO"! I might even like that better...
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @Oscar: Yeah, that DIY series was a great one!
	10:58am Hubig Pie: Ahhh, another blissful cover of It's all over now, Baby Blue.
	♥ 10:59am tim from champaign (now washington): I'm starting to think Baby Blue is like All Along the Watchtower. The Dylan original is just fine but whoever covers it totally owns it. This, 13th Floor Elevators, Marianne Faithfull...
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: Seems almost impossible to do a bad version of "Baby Blue"!
	11:00am Hubig Pie: Van Morrison did a nice treatment also
	♥ 11:01am Par Ubi: Enjoying this one especially
	11:01am Blix: Love Bryan Ferry's version.
	♥ 11:01am Par Ubi: These guys are the other remnants of Galaxie 500, right?
	♥ 11:02am Yes: this is making me both happy and sad.
	11:02am Blix: This "Galaxie" version is great too.
	♥ 11:02am tim from champaign (now washington): @Yes - exactly!
	♥ 11:04am Par Ubi: I used to have that Galaxie 500 blue box set until.. water damage :(
	♥ 11:04am The Oscar: Damon was (and I imagine still is) a regular at the record store I worked at for many years. Great guy.
	11:06am Marc Francis: Damon did a pretty great podcast a year or so ago. It was called Ways Of Hearing. Great stuff!
	11:06am Nicholas from Montclair: Haha. I thought you meant a “big band” would be on Beylock’s show. Like Glenn Miller. Not a popular band.
	♥ 11:07am Par Ubi: Nice. It's so strange to run into them in the wild. Always somehow reassuring when they're nice and grounded.
	♥ 11:09am steveo: mary on the air -- cool
	11:10am Curious Tom: I'm looking forward to Kellen303. I loved his shows over summer.
	11:11am zopa: What did you do there? - I got high
	♥ 11:12am Par Ubi: Does Kellen303 do similar things? Into audio collage, etc.?
	♥ 11:13am steveo: speaking of Stan, I just bought Dance Wit me Stanley tote bag at wfmu.store NICE.
	♥ 11:14am pantz: I stan Happiness Stan
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @nicholas: I wish I could have a real big band on my show! @Par Ubi: Some, you can check out his archives on the site. @steveo: Fine swag!
	♥ 11:15am Par Ubi: He has a soundcloud! Nice! soundcloud.com...
	♥ 11:15am Brian in UK: Ah Stanley Unwin. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:16am Webhamster Henry: I like Story Time!
	♥ 11:16am tim from champaign (now washington): The beginning of the Faces right here.
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: Brian, thanks for posting the Stan Unwin link. There is actually a TV show called "Colour Me Pop" where they performed most of this live.
	11:22am Bill Domanico: Ogden's Nut Gone Flake is one of the greatest albums of all time. I had the original with the five fold out circles but over the years it fell apart.
	♥ 11:23am Par Ubi: It's been a nice couple of psych days. Jeff C was playing Ozric Tentacles on his show last night. Really enjoying this track.
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: I sure hope Stan finds the moon.
	11:25am Will: Next week maybe we should hear "In Held Twas In I" by Procol Harum (mono mix).
	♥ 11:26am Brian in UK: Joe, you might like this, a bit esoteric. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:27am tadpoles: #Bill D....agree...and it's very '60's English psych...and Stanley Unwin is brilliant. Thanks for this Joe.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @will: Hm, not a bad idea! I've been meaning to play "Devil Came to Kansas" for 3 weeks now.
	11:29am βrian: Just please don't segue to Kansas ...
	♥ 11:29am ChrisB.: The British certainly do enjoy their whimsy.
	♥ 11:29am tadpoles: "What's in your hang up Man" and "Smackerroll blirdie" we used to quote like mad back in the day! And of course "Life is just a bowl of AllBran!"
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Brian: Uh-oh, now that you've told me not to... :)
	♥ 11:30am Brian in UK: If we are going for the full albums worth then California 99 is an option.
	11:31am lee: what a mindblast!
	♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Whimsy and wistful.
	♥ 11:32am WR: Hi all. Anyone fully sussed out the relationship between ONGF Small Faces Stan and Eminem Stan?
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: @WR: Neither one have anything to do with our wonderful Stan here at WFMU.
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: This was the time when all the R'nB groups changed almost overnight. Grew their hair and wore dodgy clothes.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: "They smiled at the tinkling..."
	11:40am Snoochienucci: this is really nice on the ears
	11:40am Snoochienucci: tinkling often makes me smile :)
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: Outside of Donovan, it's hard to think of a gentler version of psychedelia than this.
	11:42am Tom from Boonton: so thoroughly enjoying all of this, thank you Joe
	11:44am Snoochienucci: @Joe good point about the Donovan comparison. Usually psychedelia has those acidy piercing guitar sounds lol
	11:44am emily: Wowza! Tripping with Joe on Monday morning.
	♥ 11:46am WR: WFMU Stan is on outer frontier of time for me but thanks for the reminder that there is much that WFMU has to offer that I've yet to delve into. Long live the archives!
	♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: Ralph McTell is always a goood source of story songs.
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @emily: Indeed! @Tom: Glad you're liking this psychewhimsystorytelling.
	11:49am Marley Dogg: Great show today Joe! I’ve never heard this album before- very cool
	♥ 11:49am tadpoles: IMHO English Psychedelia is so different to the American....much more invested in childhood memories and stories. Nothing like the 13th Floor Elevators. Great story corner thanks Joe.
	11:51am zopa: May I have another graham cracker please?
	♥ 11:51am tadpoles: Even though the Jefferson Airplane co-opted Alice in Wonderland.
	♥ 11:51am Joe McG: Whoops!
	11:51am Hubig Pie: Pass the scones
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: Finishing up with a psych band from New Jersey, not Old Jersey. :) Not too many hunchback segueways out there, you gotta take 'em where you find 'em.
	♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: Joe, great show, almost!!
	11:53am SmokinJ: Nice program today jm! 8-)
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha ha!
	♥ 11:54am chris_in_space: @tadpoles 100% agree. It's almost as if the US version is about rebellion, the English more about skewed traditions and and the journey of the self.
	♥ 11:54am pantz: Rick Wakeman's "Journey To The Center of the Earth" would fit in nicely. I used to listen to that over and over in my smoking days.
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: One for you Victor Hugo fans.
	11:54am P-90: Another successful journey. Happy thanks given to you, DJ Joe McG.
	11:55am βrian: "What hump?"
	♥ 11:55am Par Ubi: Ooh boy, easy there.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: With "Tommy" quotes! :) Thanks for listening and commenting, all. If you're in the States, have a great Thanksgiving. See you next time!
	11:56am Snoochienucci: fun ride today Joe, went from booze to psychadelics! im starting to get my brain function back
	11:56am Snoochienucci: and happy thanks giving to you too Joe!
	♥ 11:56am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: woot! just missing the gypsy's ahem love for her goat.
	11:58am βrian: Until next our glasses clink. Thanks, Joe.
	♥ 11:59am ChrisB.: Hoo boy!
	11:59am yippie: the quarterback of Nostradamus
	11:59am Santos L Halper: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 12:00pm tadpoles: Thanks for the "Colour Me Pop" link Joe..brilliant.

	9:13am Crei6hton: Morning
	♥ 9:16am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Is it that time already. Rhetorical question.
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: @Brian: You know me, I always know what time it is. :)
	9:21am PKNY: It's tough to beat the Gil Scott-Heron OG, but damn did Esther Phillips get pretty close!
	♥ 9:22am Guido from Cologne: Esther Phillips' version of Gil Scott Heron's "Home Is Where the Hatred Is" gets quite a few plays on WFMU recently.
	9:24am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Thankful that, for me, home is where the turkey is.
	♥ 9:24am pantz: Happy to be in the soul train this morning with Joe "Cornelius" McGasko
	9:24am PKNY: @Joe must have known I needed some Gil today. Once I hear that voice and some Fender Rhodes, things automatically get better!
	♥ 9:26am Joe McG: @Guido: Heard Duane play it last week (probably from the original single) and it just happens to be on the new Dave Godin CD in the new bin this morning. Lucky me!
	9:27am Marley Dogg: Awesome show so far Joe!
	♥ 9:29am LastWhiteRhino: Good morning Joe, just another Pleasant Valley Monday.
	9:29am PKNY: Wonder who is playing the harmonica on this...sounds like Stevie, but I doubt it's him.

	♥ 9:43am Par Ubi: Good morning Joe & everyone!
	9:43am Davee: Give me a beer
	9:43am Snoochienucci: whiskey for breakfast?
	♥ 9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HOOZ ! :)
	♥ 9:44am LCBD: Oh damn, I love this song so much!
	♥ 9:44am melinda: Morning Joe and everyone! I missed the first part of the show because I was investigating my house post-mold remediation. It looked good.
	9:44am YETI BOB: this album has always been sort of a "guilty pleasure" for me
	♥ 9:44am Hughie Considine: Roger refused to sing this one and frequently struggled to sing Pet's extreme stuff that did not resonate for him personally.
	♥ 9:45am Hughie Considine: er, Pete's
	♥ 9:45am Brian in UK: @melinda, that is the way to start the week!
	♥ 9:47am Joe McG: @Hughie: I'm really glad Pete sang it!
	♥ 9:47am Brian in UK: Townshend and Lane's album Rough Mix is a gem. So why did I sell it? Another rhetorical question.
	9:47am YETI BOB: @Hughie: Pete sounds like Roger here
	♥ 9:48am melinda: @Yeti I thought it was Roger. Silly me.
	♥ 9:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I found The Who's debut album in $1.99 binoculars - & coulda been their only fan far as I knew... Probly got By Numbers later than it was released - but let's say I was barely a teen? trying to register - this... Know for sure I wad awlready a stone WhoFan by the time Moon passed in 78...
	♥ 9:48am steveo: wow, what a great song, i don't think i ever paid attention to it before
	9:48am YETI BOB: @melinda: i thought it was Roger too
	♥ 9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *bin ...not amused by autocorrect...
	♥ 9:49am Hughie Considine: Me too, @Joe--I've never not loved Pete's vocals!
	♥ 9:50am steveo: just glanced at the beginning of the playlist and thought the first album at the top was "sounds of libation"
	♥ 9:50am Brian in UK: Ah Lal. Just got a copy of Teach Me to Be a Summer's Morning. Quite wonderful. Don't need no buggers help.
	♥ 9:50am melinda: I like the Watersons
	9:51am βrian: Booger arms is a new concept for me.
	♥ 9:51am melinda: Great segue
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @steveo: ha ha! That's where we're at right now.
	9:51am βrian: Ah, but those voices.
	♥ 9:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pete / Roger - what a dyad... Original Who SunSigns covered Earth Air Fire Water - fwiw...
	♥ 9:53am melinda: I like all the vocals- Pete, Roger, Lal, Linda...
	9:53am Mike Wolf: it’s “bugger’s arms” but were she here my guess is she wouldn’t mind it
	♥ 9:53am frozen_peas: I didn't know I was in this kind of mood today!
	♥ 9:53am Brian in UK: @βrian the word bugger was popular term in the Sixties or thereabouts. A more polite term Bugger Off was better than the F word.
	♥ 9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: English do Dystopia real well... Was a lot of 'Existentialism' in the 1970s for a kid to process...part of being GenX mebee...
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: @melinda: Me, too! @frozen_peas: There will be other moods later, don't despair! :)
	9:54am Mike Wolf: This is an outstanding Joe McGasko program, I agree with the community
	♥ 9:54am steveo: indeed!
	9:55am βrian: I'm familiar with the word, I'd just never heard it pronounced to rhyme with hooker.
	♥ 9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bugger means in thru the out door if not remiss...
	9:56am βrian: [kinda rhyme]
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: Thanks, Mike Wolf! It's different every week, but hopefully it comes up to scratch most of the time. :)
	♥ 9:56am Brian in UK: @βrian it is that East Coast Hull accent that makes it sound that way.
	♥ 9:57am melinda: @Rev that's what I thought
	9:57am βrian: I hoist my glass to regional variation.
	♥ 9:57am Brian in UK: Holding out for Whisk(e)y in the Jar.
	9:58am davefromtoronto: i'll never drink again...
	9:59am zopa: Joe, SMK is always sure to draw our attention to Andy's gambling "problem." Is there something you are trying to tell us?
	♥ 9:59am Brian in UK: The word Sod (sodomy) has similar connotations and usage to bugger.
	♥ 10:00am Hughie Considine: I contemplated writing an in-depth study of songs about drinking, and there are just so many, and so many types, it's astounding.
	10:00am βrian: And here I thought sod was a golf term.
	♥ 10:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @BrianUK: In all my Anglophilism - I never put that together...
	10:01am Snoochienucci: @Joe i played a gig last night, shared the stage with Jeffery Lewis, was alot of fun, but as i sit here at work today, not sure drinking songs are helping me out today lolol
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: @zopa: Two words: "Indoor plumbing"!
	♥ 10:02am Brian in UK: The wonders of the Ingerlish language, one word, umpteen meanings.
	10:02am zopa: Ha ha ha!
	♥ 10:03am LastWhiteRhino: Julie London is the cats pajamas.
	♥ 10:04am Webhamster Henry: Hi Joe! This is going to the new TomWaits Tribute album, isn't it?
	♥ 10:04am LastWhiteRhino: Tom Waits is da " bats" pajamas.
	10:05am Hubig Pie: Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks did a rousing version of this song
	10:05am YETI BOB: "The Bitter Cup" by Billy Childish would fit in perfectly (not that Joe needs any suggestions)
	♥ 10:06am Guido from Cologne: There was a duo in Cologne of the name The Piano Has Been Drinking. They did Tom Waits in Cologne dialect. Quite popular in the 80ies/90ies. Guess they reached sections of audience who otherwise never would become aware of Tom Waits.
	♥ 10:08am melinda: I'm just now picking up on the theme of this set.
	♥ 10:08am Webhamster Henry: Tom is pretty dodecaphonic sounding here!
	♥ 10:08am Guido from Cologne: The Fireballs "bottle Of Wine" next? :-)
	10:09am βrian: My triple espresso has found its way home.
	10:10am davefromtoronto: i need a drink...
	10:10am βrian: Now this is what wellingtons are for. I know that much.
	10:11am YETI BOB: Also "Drinker's Peace" by GBV ... one of my favorite Pollard ballads
	♥ 10:12am Brian in UK: An expression over here is 'Fill your boots'. Or get stuck in.
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: You all have such good drinking song suggestions that maybe I'll do a special some time of boozer tunes.
	♥ 10:12am Guido from Cologne: Is there also a "My Computer Has Been Drinking, This Silly spam Mail Is Not My Fault"?
	10:12am Hubig Pie: Liquor , beer and wine by Rev. Horton Heat is my favorite alcohol themed song
	♥ 10:13am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and the rest of you drunkards!
	10:13am βrian: Who accompanied Tobias there?
	♥ 10:13am steveo: My boots have been berblinging.
	10:13am Snoochienucci: This is what i need right here
	10:13am Snoochienucci: tom t hall - i like beer????
	10:14am Hubig Pie: Also "Nails in my coffin" by Floyd Tillman
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: @Brian: That was a gal named Mariya May.
	♥ 10:14am melinda: Pass The Booze is a good straightforward song title.
	♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: @Hubig Pie ...and It's Martini Time or Baby' I'm Drunk.
	10:15am βrian: Steve Goodman: How Much Tequila?
	♥ 10:16am Greg from ZONE 5: I was always partial to "Booze Party" by Three Aces & A Joker.
	10:17am karen eliot: good morning
	♥ 10:18am Brian in UK: The Handsome Family's So Much Wine always makes me smile.
	♥ 10:21am karlward: Arthur Russell. Bring it on.
	10:22am Snoochienucci: Tequilla Shella?
	♥ 10:22am Hughie Considine: The Effects of Alcohol 1. Euphoria (BAC = 0.03 to 0.12 percent) 2. Excitement (BAC = 0.09 to 0.25 percent) 3. Confusion (BAC = 0.18 to 0.30 percent) 4. Stupor (BAC = 0.25 to 0.4 percent) 5. Coma (BAC = 0.35 to 0.50 percent) 6. Death (BAC more than 0.50 percent)
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: I love "Tequila Sheila." I played Tom T. Hall pretty recently, I think on the Stashu fill-in I did!
	10:23am βrian: That alcohol effects list could be incorporated into a dartboard.
	10:26am Snoochienucci: @joe i love tom t hall, such great stuff. my borther got my two of his vinyls for my bday
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: Thanks to Hughie for the helpful inebriation chart!
	♥ 10:28am Brian in UK: WFMU: THE LIBATION STATION.
	10:29am Hubig Pie: Steps 1 and 2 sound like my kind of party. The rest, not so much
	♥ 10:29am Michele with One "L": OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG
	♥ 10:31am Joe McG: @Michele: I'll share it with you! :)
	10:31am Nate K.: Enjoying this set.
	♥ 10:31am Hughie Considine: Always happy to help out, @Joe. Buckle up for safety, everyone!
	♥ 10:31am Michele with One "L": I want to play it tomorrow. So thanks!
	10:32am Mark in Toronto: Sheila Tequila by Sir Douglas Quintet
	10:33am Nate K.: Wow, over before I knew it . . .
	10:33am Marc Francis: Ashley Rhodus
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: Thanks for the reminder, Marc!
	♥ 10:39am Hughie Considine: How many hearts have been torn apart in the last half-century of pop music? It boggles the mind.
	10:42am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Lord, I was born a rainin' Maaaan!
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Give it up for Dickie!
	♥ 10:47am ChrisB.: Yeah, that's from Richard's 1st solo LP, Highway Call, which is way more country than the Allman Bros. canon. Rain was the most radio friendly song.
	♥ 10:53am tim from champaign (now washington): Hello Joe and fellow WFMU listening turkeys.
	10:53am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe!
	♥ 10:54am The Oscar: Been busy working, but love this Dangerous Birds! Rhino put it on the Boston edition of their DIY series back in the day, which was a major eye-opener for me as a youth.
	10:55am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Working to the beat, I swear I thought they were singing "you are definitely a TOMATO"! I might even like that better...
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @Oscar: Yeah, that DIY series was a great one!
	10:58am Hubig Pie: Ahhh, another blissful cover of It's all over now, Baby Blue.
	♥ 10:59am tim from champaign (now washington): I'm starting to think Baby Blue is like All Along the Watchtower. The Dylan original is just fine but whoever covers it totally owns it. This, 13th Floor Elevators, Marianne Faithfull...
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: Seems almost impossible to do a bad version of "Baby Blue"!
	11:00am Hubig Pie: Van Morrison did a nice treatment also
	♥ 11:01am Par Ubi: Enjoying this one especially
	11:01am Blix: Love Bryan Ferry's version.
	♥ 11:01am Par Ubi: These guys are the other remnants of Galaxie 500, right?
	♥ 11:02am Yes: this is making me both happy and sad.
	11:02am Blix: This "Galaxie" version is great too.
	♥ 11:02am tim from champaign (now washington): @Yes - exactly!
	♥ 11:04am Par Ubi: I used to have that Galaxie 500 blue box set until.. water damage :(
	♥ 11:04am The Oscar: Damon was (and I imagine still is) a regular at the record store I worked at for many years. Great guy.
	11:06am Marc Francis: Damon did a pretty great podcast a year or so ago. It was called Ways Of Hearing. Great stuff!
	11:06am Nicholas from Montclair: Haha. I thought you meant a “big band” would be on Beylock’s show. Like Glenn Miller. Not a popular band.
	♥ 11:07am Par Ubi: Nice. It's so strange to run into them in the wild. Always somehow reassuring when they're nice and grounded.
	♥ 11:09am steveo: mary on the air -- cool
	11:10am Curious Tom: I'm looking forward to Kellen303. I loved his shows over summer.
	11:11am zopa: What did you do there? - I got high
	♥ 11:12am Par Ubi: Does Kellen303 do similar things? Into audio collage, etc.?
	♥ 11:13am steveo: speaking of Stan, I just bought Dance Wit me Stanley tote bag at wfmu.store NICE.
	♥ 11:14am pantz: I stan Happiness Stan
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @nicholas: I wish I could have a real big band on my show! @Par Ubi: Some, you can check out his archives on the site. @steveo: Fine swag!
	♥ 11:15am Par Ubi: He has a soundcloud! Nice! soundcloud.com...
	♥ 11:15am Brian in UK: Ah Stanley Unwin. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:16am Webhamster Henry: I like Story Time!
	♥ 11:16am tim from champaign (now washington): The beginning of the Faces right here.
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: Brian, thanks for posting the Stan Unwin link. There is actually a TV show called "Colour Me Pop" where they performed most of this live.
	11:22am Bill Domanico: Ogden's Nut Gone Flake is one of the greatest albums of all time. I had the original with the five fold out circles but over the years it fell apart.
	♥ 11:23am Par Ubi: It's been a nice couple of psych days. Jeff C was playing Ozric Tentacles on his show last night. Really enjoying this track.
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: I sure hope Stan finds the moon.
	11:25am Will: Next week maybe we should hear "In Held Twas In I" by Procol Harum (mono mix).
	♥ 11:26am Brian in UK: Joe, you might like this, a bit esoteric. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:27am tadpoles: #Bill D....agree...and it's very '60's English psych...and Stanley Unwin is brilliant. Thanks for this Joe.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @will: Hm, not a bad idea! I've been meaning to play "Devil Came to Kansas" for 3 weeks now.
	11:29am βrian: Just please don't segue to Kansas ...
	♥ 11:29am ChrisB.: The British certainly do enjoy their whimsy.
	♥ 11:29am tadpoles: "What's in your hang up Man" and "Smackerroll blirdie" we used to quote like mad back in the day! And of course "Life is just a bowl of AllBran!"
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Brian: Uh-oh, now that you've told me not to... :)
	♥ 11:30am Brian in UK: If we are going for the full albums worth then California 99 is an option.
	11:31am lee: what a mindblast!
	♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Whimsy and wistful.
	♥ 11:32am WR: Hi all. Anyone fully sussed out the relationship between ONGF Small Faces Stan and Eminem Stan?
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: @WR: Neither one have anything to do with our wonderful Stan here at WFMU.
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: This was the time when all the R'nB groups changed almost overnight. Grew their hair and wore dodgy clothes.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: "They smiled at the tinkling..."
	11:40am Snoochienucci: this is really nice on the ears
	11:40am Snoochienucci: tinkling often makes me smile :)
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: Outside of Donovan, it's hard to think of a gentler version of psychedelia than this.
	11:42am Tom from Boonton: so thoroughly enjoying all of this, thank you Joe
	11:44am Snoochienucci: @Joe good point about the Donovan comparison. Usually psychedelia has those acidy piercing guitar sounds lol
	11:44am emily: Wowza! Tripping with Joe on Monday morning.
	♥ 11:46am WR: WFMU Stan is on outer frontier of time for me but thanks for the reminder that there is much that WFMU has to offer that I've yet to delve into. Long live the archives!
	♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: Ralph McTell is always a goood source of story songs.
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @emily: Indeed! @Tom: Glad you're liking this psychewhimsystorytelling.
	11:49am Marley Dogg: Great show today Joe! I’ve never heard this album before- very cool
	♥ 11:49am tadpoles: IMHO English Psychedelia is so different to the American....much more invested in childhood memories and stories. Nothing like the 13th Floor Elevators. Great story corner thanks Joe.
	11:51am zopa: May I have another graham cracker please?
	♥ 11:51am tadpoles: Even though the Jefferson Airplane co-opted Alice in Wonderland.
	♥ 11:51am Joe McG: Whoops!
	11:51am Hubig Pie: Pass the scones
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: Finishing up with a psych band from New Jersey, not Old Jersey. :) Not too many hunchback segueways out there, you gotta take 'em where you find 'em.
	♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: Joe, great show, almost!!
	11:53am SmokinJ: Nice program today jm! 8-)
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha ha!
	♥ 11:54am chris_in_space: @tadpoles 100% agree. It's almost as if the US version is about rebellion, the English more about skewed traditions and and the journey of the self.
	♥ 11:54am pantz: Rick Wakeman's "Journey To The Center of the Earth" would fit in nicely. I used to listen to that over and over in my smoking days.
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: One for you Victor Hugo fans.
	11:54am P-90: Another successful journey. Happy thanks given to you, DJ Joe McG.
	11:55am βrian: "What hump?"
	♥ 11:55am Par Ubi: Ooh boy, easy there.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: With "Tommy" quotes! :) Thanks for listening and commenting, all. If you're in the States, have a great Thanksgiving. See you next time!
	11:56am Snoochienucci: fun ride today Joe, went from booze to psychadelics! im starting to get my brain function back
	11:56am Snoochienucci: and happy thanks giving to you too Joe!
	♥ 11:56am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: woot! just missing the gypsy's ahem love for her goat.
	11:58am βrian: Until next our glasses clink. Thanks, Joe.
	♥ 11:59am ChrisB.: Hoo boy!
	11:59am yippie: the quarterback of Nostradamus
	11:59am Santos L Halper: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 12:00pm tadpoles: Thanks for the "Colour Me Pop" link Joe..brilliant.
