12:34pm Kenny rotten:

Bread Zeppelin!

12:35pm -Ken:

Joe, you could play CSNY's "Ohio" to commemorate the day, OR you could play side B of that album of David Crosby crying, "Croz Sobs"

12:37pm coelacanth∅:

(or the Isleys' ohio/machine gun?)

12:38pm Carmichael:

Sorry, you're 10 minutes late. Will have to wait until next year.

12:42pm ChrisB.:

Rock Roll voiced by Hal Smith, Otis from Andy Griffith.

👻

12:42pm David Shortell:

This Rock Roll song was on the Maxwell's jukebox.

12:43pm Carmichael:

Ii think the Beau Brummels played a gig in Bedrock.

12:43pm -Ken:

What was the name of the rock band in The Flintstones? I remember Jet Screamer from The Jetsons but I cant remember the band from tHe Flintstones

12:44pm Woo:

Haven't heard Bedrock Twitch in decades. It holds up.

12:44pm Joe B:

the way outs? the beau brummelstones?

12:44pm Doug in JC:

@ken which one! www.fakebands.com...

12:45pm -Ken:

The Beau Brummelstones! Yes!

12:45pm MikeG:

The Gruesomes?

12:47pm -Ken:

The Beay Brummelstones was the one where Fred hurts his foot dancing, and his subsequent spasmodic pained dance moves, launch a new teen dance craze

12:47pm coelacanth∅:

this was the song that made me buy a coasters comp when i was little

12:47pm P-90:

Joe B of course has the names of the Bedrock Beat bands right at his fingertips.

12:47pm coelacanth∅:

-rest in peace Young Jesse

12:47pm Dave the Spazz:

Duke Mitchell from Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla is the singing voice of Fred Flintstone

👻

12:48pm David Shortell:

@Ken
Unless you're thinking of James Darrock's back-up group for his song "Surfin' Craze".

12:48pm Joe B:

P-90 - it's called 'not having a life'

12:49pm P-90:

@-Ken “Abba-dabba-aiii, ai-yi-yiiiii...!”

👻

12:50pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Joe and all. If it's Trivia Day here, I have one: Did any bands visit Gilligan's Island? If so, who?

12:51pm coelacanth∅:

good question

👻

12:51pm David Shortell:

@-Ken
I think the episode you speak of inspired the Swingin' Neckbreakers song "The Flop".

12:51pm Joe B:

of course ken - the mosquitos (the wellingtons)

12:52pm Power Papi:

Bingo , Bango, Bongo and Irving!

12:52pm LastWhiteRhino:

@KFHP: The Honeybees ( Mariann, Ginger and Mrs. Howell)

12:53pm -Ken:

Anybody who has a car and wants to, come to the WFMU car parade at WFMU Wednesday night from 6-7pm, during Seven Second Delay. It's our first and probably last public event of the pandemic, so dont miss it! I will have a microphone on a ten foot pole so you can say hello on the air as you drive by.

12:54pm WoodsOfNH:

I sing Einstein On The Beach in its entirety while washing my hands.

12:55pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Thx Joe!

12:57pm coelacanth∅:

haha... i thought it was a jake brake outside

12:58pm Woo:

The Gilligan Mosquitoes episode was on recently on ME-TV. Very disappointed to see yesterday that they stopped showing The Monkees on Sunday afternoon.

12:59pm JakeGould:

Yes! Seconding Ken’s request… Never forget Kent State…

12:59pm LastWhiteRhino:

@ Ken: I plan to do a fly over the station on Wednesday ~18:00 hours in my F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet. Unless the weather grounds me.

12:59pm Toothgrinder Tom:

Must attend car parade! Woot.

1:00pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Love this Roger C Reale comp. And bummed about no Monkees on MeTV

1:00pm egould310:

@ coelacanth: Nice Epiphone and Rickenbacker in the Bingo Bango Bongo and Irving photo. Thanks for posting it.

1:01pm JakeGould:

“Against the odds, Fred lands a star attraction for Wilma's fund-raiser, but an allergic reaction to pickled dodo eggs may prevent him from appearing.”

1:01pm SeanG:

Hi SM Ken, just wondering, is Clay doing all right?

1:02pm Joe B:

@DK - supposedly Roger was getting ready to do some shows of this material around this time. oh well

1:02pm SeanG:

also Hi Joe B.! keep rockin'

1:02pm coelacanth∅:

good eye(s) egould!
i can kind of recognise the epiphone, only now that you mention it.

1:05pm coelacanth∅:

the collection: rcrrm.bandcamp.com...

1:05pm bigplanetnoise:

Good afternoon, Joe and all Montees!

1:05pm WoodsOfNH:

Oh man, I love this ZZ Top album. Especially the live side.

1:06pm coelacanth∅:

blue jean blues

1:07pm coelacanth∅:

...and one of my favorite jailhouse rocks

1:08pm Tim from LH:

I heard it on Three Chord Monte

1:18pm chris_in_space:

Honestly, "Heard it on the X" is my favourite ZZ Top track. I love the slap of Gibbons' Strat tone on it. You can smell the BBQ!

1:20pm listener 126464:

I've got experience cycling that block looking for a parking spot.

1:21pm steveo:

for those currently rocking, I salute you

1:22pm listener 126464:

•circling

1:23pm steveo:

Unicode Character 'BULLET' (U+2022)

1:23pm Joe B:

not a stream dropout, just operator error, sorry

1:24pm ChrisB.:

New Ribeyes! Something to look forward to!

1:25pm McGroovey:

Listening to the gov'nor's daily thing now, so I'll have to listen in time-delay. But I can hear Thin Lizzy playing in my head now, and I'll look through and see what else plays in my head.

1:26pm egould310:

That Green/blue always stops me in my tracks. It’s so good. Thanks for hipping the audience to it, Joe B.

1:26pm dave wuz here:

wish i could make the car parade but 244 miles seems a bit far to go to drive around the wfmu block. maybe i'll drive around my block screaming the call letters in a sympathetic gesture

1:27pm Joe B:

glad you like it - green/blue was supposed to be here in the studio 4/13. maybe someday ...

1:27pm Snoochienucci:

Joey B!

1:28pm Snoochienucci:

typical Monday smash hitters Joe McGasko and Joe Belock knock that monday hangover right out of ya!

1:29pm Woo:

The Jack Cades is brand new? Why can't everything sound like this?

1:29pm Joe B:

woo, came out in Feb or March

👻

1:30pm David Shortell:

I've been hearing the Ribeye Brothers perform that "new track" live for a couple of years now!

1:31pm David (in London):

The Stooges really are the gift that keeps on giving. Good cover.

1:33pm WoodsOfNH:

I'd drive around my block but...uh...we don't have any blocks.

1:35pm Snoochienucci:

ohh hell yeah, i just saw bootsy post this one on fb. I think Iggy released it on his birthday

1:37pm Yes:

this is sweet

👻

1:38pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Quoting Beavis: "Bootsy's cool!"

1:39pm Carmichael:

"Bootsy's cool cuz he's from Saturn."

1:42pm kev:

@ woods of NH what woods you from I'm from Antrim

1:43pm Handy Haversack:

Scared to lose the parking spot in front of our bldg. We haven't moved the car in what, seven weeks? March 16, when we got back from JC and picked up the dog in Park Slope and drove him home.

1:44pm Michael Shelley:

This whole Swamp Dogg lp is good. He best lp in a while. (but what do I know)

1:46pm Laura in Peekskill:

I was driving so I'm chiming in late to say that Stooges cover was OFF THE HOOK.

1:47pm WoodsOfNH:

@kev Warner. Maybe I'll just go out into the yard and yell "ANDY BRECKMAN!!!" at the horses.

1:49pm coelacanth∅:

Carmichael -Bootsy's from Sun Ra's hood

1:51pm kev:

if you tell loud enough I might hear you

1:51pm coelacanth∅:

(...just about to say this sounds like royal trux)
sounding good

1:53pm WoodsOfNH:

@kev Wife used to work in Antrim. Right across the street from the hardware store

1:56pm coelacanth∅:

Iggy also did family affair with someone else, back in the day...

1:57pm coelacanth∅:

-with Steve Jones

1:58pm kev:

@ WONH thank her for her service

2:00pm WoodsOfNH:

@kev Yeah, that shelter was some tough stuff.

2:03pm egould310:

This Stutter Steps is gooood, too.

2:04pm egould310:

So is this Eyelids.

Jeesh, I am just way too enthusiastic about music. Where’s my calculated cynicysm and indifference?

2:04pm Handy Haversack:

Grabbed this one this Bandcamp Day.

2:09pm Franco Twinkie:

I met Peter Case on the Forth of July some time ago. We talked about how much we liked the cardboard records that came inside Mad Magazine when we were kids.

2:10pm Laura in Peekskill:

Egould, (good) music is where cynicism and indifference take a day off.

2:11pm Mike tp:

have e enjoyed pernice for a time now HEY JOE.a good listen..thank you ...

2:15pm Mister Dobalina:

Thought I heard the ghost of Tom Petty.

2:16pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Got to listen to that second Those Pretty Wrongs—got it just before the insanity started & it didn’t register on me, but everything you’ve played last week sounds great. I love Jody singing—what was in the Memphis water system that gave all those guys such aching voices?

2:17pm Joe B:

yeah i overlooked the second Lp when it came out last year. sadly have plenty of time to catch up! it is a great one

2:17pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

I mean every TPW song you played over last few wks sounds wonderful

2:19pm Ciggy:

As this Storm Waits comes on a big gust of wind blew over east Yonkers.
So Wild!

2:21pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Hi Joe!

2:22pm Handy Haversack:

I am sitting out working in the gale, Ciggy, but the dog and I were born stubborn. We aren't taking our talens inside unless it rains!

2:23pm TIMPANDA:

Joe!!!! Hope your day is going well so far! Thanks for the jams and helping to make good vibes for the work day.

👻

2:24pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Greetings Joe & TCM listeners!

2:25pm egould310:

I think I just rediscovered my cynicism.

2:25pm Handy Haversack:

Joe, did you read Strange Stars from a couple of years back? About music and science fiction. He really catalogues all of these sudden SW-sploitation records that came out. Good stuff!

2:26pm Miss V:

Jello, JOE!

2:27pm Asheville Jon:

this sounds like the opening song for an after school special

2:27pm Carmichael:

Somewhere I have a disco version of the Star Wars them on 45 w/picture sleeve. Gotta be worth about $11 by now.

2:29pm Mike Sin:

Hi Joe -- We've been listening in and out between meetings. Glad to hear new Elephant Stone.

2:32pm Dominick:

Wow, no requests for "This Too Shall Pass"?

👻

2:32pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Dig that Elephant Stone. RIP Dave Greenfield :-(

2:34pm artbrau:

The Stranglers' "Always the Sun" will be played at my funeral.

2:34pm Handy Haversack:

RIP. I know there are No More Heroes, but he was def. an idol, at least, to musicians I know and love. Sigh. Crappy days.

2:35pm Joe B:

dominick, i don't think even i can sink that low

2:36pm tomophobic Tom from Motor City:

Still love those backups.

2:36pm McGroovey:

Utopia recorded a disco version of the Star Trek theme in 1976 for their (unreleased, until recently) album Disco Jets.

2:40pm Snoochienucci:

ohhhhh yeah

2:41pm Joe B:

johnny barbata, underrated drummer in rock history

2:41pm -Ken:

What is Neil doing playing with that Garbanzo band?!

2:41pm Lizardner Dave 2:

Sadly not enough time to play Wilco's "Star Wars" in its entirely. Oh well.

2:42pm Joe B:

collecting a paycheck!

2:43pm tomophobic Tom from Motor City:

There is a great 2013 video widely available of Graham Nash doing Ohio solo acoustic, with that signature riff quite distinctive and not seeming all that hard to play. Now all ya gotta do is sing like Neil Young. Or at least Graham Nash.

2:45pm radioronan:

Great show Joe - thanks for keeping Monday rolling. Thanks Ken & skeleton crew for all you are doing!

2:46pm steveo:

@ken getting paid?

2:49pm steveo:

oh look, Joe, you beat me :)

2:49pm Snoochienucci:

JUST ARRIVED! MY WFMU GEAR FROM PLEDGE TIME! amazing stuff as always from the wfmu crew! thank you all

2:50pm Joe B:

@steveo - well, it's true! neil's first two solo albums didn't make a dent, until after he raised his profile by joining CSNY. then in 74, joins them again in the aftermath of his disastrous time fades away tour. next reunion - 1988 after a decade non-hit albums,

2:52pm Handy Haversack:

Nice, Snoochie!!! So cool -- I am looking forward to it so much!

2:53pm Yes:

the chats crack me up

2:53pm Snoochienucci:

Handy, not sure what you got, but Clays shirt is reaaaal nice. I love the Dr Seuss type drawing of slopwith! lol

2:54pm egould310:

Thanks, Joe. It was a rollercoaster of music and emotions. This Chats tune is kick-ass, too.

2:54pm Gaylord Fields:

Thanks for a great show, Joe! And for playing songs from two of my favorite albums of 2020, by the Exbats and the everlovin' Chats!

2:54pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello Joe & Murder-Bee-lockers! Sorry, had to defect today since it was Irene's GTDS debut. Aaaah, the archives!

👻

2:54pm Hackensack Slim:

Hey Joe,
I'm glad Neil cashed in so he could afford to create Ragged Glory, Reactor and a ton of other great material. So Thank You CSNY.

2:55pm Morphe':

Thanks Joe and all!!!!

2:55pm Amy:

Digging this song by the Chats quite a bit.

2:55pm Handy Haversack:

Checked the hall for swag, but nothing yet.

Thanks, Joe! Great show! Thanks, Ken!

2:57pm coelacanth∅:

heh, i still haven't chosen my swag

👻

2:58pm James in ATL:

Great show! Thanks and stay safe, Joe!
