	12:05pm J J: Aloha, from the island of Manhattan.
	12:07pm tonyc: Hey JJ! Won't be harping on it, but I need to do some shekel-raising today. Please pitch in if you can, everybody!
	12:08pm Pittsburghers for Coulter: You've got my vote, Tony.

	12:10pm J J: Fuuuuuu, I love family fodder.
	12:13pm tonyc: Thanks, o pledger -- whoever you are! (No one's feeding me names over here in my West Coast lair.)
	12:13pm Brian in UK: Hello Tony, just dumped pledge #8. Small but perfectly shaped. Sounds like Pinky & Perky.
	12:13pm Doug S.: If you donate using the special pledge widget atop Tony's playlist page, the contribution will help Tony reach his financial goal for this fund drive. (Of course, 100% of your gift goes to WFMU.) Every pledge for Tony is, indirectly, a pledge in support of WFMU's continued support for GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO, the stream that makes Tony's show possible. Or, at least, audible. Please make your generosity visible and make a pledge!
	12:15pm tonyc: Thanks so much, Brian!!
	12:16pm Ricardo Montalban: I still want that Devotees album, nearly 30 years after failing to buy it at Tower Records one day. Back then, I thought it was dumb. Now I think it's sublimely dumb.
	12:16pm tonyc: Are we not clowns?
	12:17pm Bozo: No.
	12:18pm Ricardo Montalban: Hybrid Kids. That's Morgan Fischer's wonderful mutated punk project, innit?
	12:18pm Hunter S Thompson: No we are Gonzo.
	12:19pm tonyc: Ricardo M: Egg-zactly!
	12:19pm Carmichael: OK, made it here after a nice 3 day weekend. I love covers, and covers of covers.
	12:19pm ?: RM Did Mr Fisher do the one minute per track album
	12:20pm tonyc: Yep, he did release the Miniatures album.
	12:21pm still b/p: Godsprockets of soul. All these are surely innerestin', but as much a parody party so far as a cover surge, hey?
	12:22pm Brian in UK: still b/p 'cover surge' Is that some sort of eiderdowm or antimacassar?
	12:22pm tonyc: So far, yeah -- but there will be different flavors of cover coming up.
	12:24pm tonyc: Please peeps, pledge for parody!
	12:24pm Brian in UK: I'm getting pre-teen 'California '99' notes.
	12:28pm still b/p: Brian -- Yes. If you can find the vintage stuff in someone's attic or a specialty shop, you'll pay a LOT. Cheap modern synthetic knock-offs are not as warm, as handsome or worth having.
	12:31pm Brian in UK: still b/p the back cover of Jimmie Spheeris' first album has just the example I think you have in mind. Got to be the LP. CDs do not cut it.
	12:32pm mark: Freberg is still the King ... nice!
	12:32pm J J: I think I like this better than the original.
	12:33pm tonyc: Thanks for the pledges coming in! Keep 'em coming!
	12:34pm Doug S.: These aren't merely cover versions, they're insane perversions — a way higher deejay bar to clear. You are THE MAN for the job, Tony. Blessedly.
	12:35pm tonyc: I thank you, Doug -- as does Hot Lips Houlihan.
	12:36pm Brian in UK: No Crosby. Phew.
	12:37pm Carmichael: Oh my God .... cool jazz CSNY. David Crosby's rolling over prematurely in his grave.
	12:37pm Alf from Upstate: A natural blonde, if I recall
	12:38pm still b/p: The Freberg version of Banana Boat song cracks me all up. And, oh, Sally, Sally..."His will be done!!"
	12:41pm tonyc: Uncle Boris says: pledge, pledge, pledge! For FMU and country....
	12:41pm Brian in UK: tonyc do these all come from your personal collection?
	12:41pm Carmichael: Answer carefully, Tony.
	12:42pm tonyc: Brian: Sadly, yes, they do....
	12:43pm Doug S.: I think we're going to need a shower after this show, Tony. Hey, how about showering some generous contributions down on WFMU right about now?? IF EVERYBODY LISTENING RIGHT NOW GIVES $10, TONY WILL MAKE HIS GOAL... Just saying...
	12:44pm Brian in UK: I get the feeling that Peter Sellers' Hard Days Night' is too 'ironic' for this show.
	12:46pm charlie: Tony, this show ranks with your great "Hit Replay" marathon premium of a couple of years ago -- one of my fave premium CDs.
	12:47pm still b/p: Hey, hey, it's a Monkees cover, Galen's just Monkeein' around...
	12:47pm Mongo: need beer
	12:47pm tonyc: Hey Charlie! (Thanks!)
	12:49pm tonyc: Pledge-o, pledge-o -- please-o, please-o!
	12:59pm tonyc: Great to see those pledge numbers going up! Thank you, whoever you are!!
	1:02pm Carmichael: Am I at the Celtic Festival?
	1:05pm tonyc: What's now playing is, of course, a Soft Machine cover....
	1:06pm Doug S.: • WFMU has set modest, attainable goals for this October fundraiser, but it is crucial that they are met. • Remember that WFMU did NOT make the goal during our regular on-air fundraiser last March. • The station — and all its vital projects, like this here alternate web stream — will be significantly challenged if we don't meet our goal this month. We will get there by having each individual show reach its own goal. • Please make a few clicks and move Tony's pledge thermometer into FEVER TERRITORY.
	1:07pm tonyc: Yes, you give me FEVER... when you pledge....
	1:08pm tonyc: On now: a Doors cover....
	1:14pm tonyc: Should point out that I won't be on next week -- so I need to do well with the fundraising today. Please pledge for Give the Drummer Radio and the station!
	1:15pm tonyc: Thanks for the pledge!
	1:16pm glenn: music machine, yeah?
	1:16pm tonyc: Glenn: Yep, Music Machine
	1:18pm tonyc: Be a Stooge for FMU -- pledge, pledge, pledge!
	1:18pm iker: ciaoTony! here i am, better late than never. just in time for making my little pledge. :-)
	1:19pm tonyc: Hey, Iker! Thanks for the pledge!
	1:20pm tonyc: Who knew you could rock out on "Eleanor Rigby"?
	1:21pm Ricardo Montalban: This Claw track has evidence of Ferry syndrome
	1:22pm tonyc: Nah -- they're tough biker dudes. They'd probably want to beat him up, despite their warbly vocals
	1:28pm J J: Do the television personalities know where syd barrett is buried?
	1:29pm tonyc: Good question, JJ. Hey -- we're at the halfway point of today's show ... would love to see more pledging action, esp since I won't be on next week.
	1:35pm J J: I forgot who it was but someone did an entire three hour show of nothing but covers of "Satisfaction."
	1:36pm tonyc: Huh -- missed that. Joe Belock did a premium that was nothing but covers of "Hey Joe."
	1:38pm pledge: sister sledge
	1:38pm Ricardo Montalban: What the hell?
	1:38pm don: great show tony. this yesterday cover just forcefully made me abandon my lurker status
	1:39pm tonyc: Hey there, Lurker Don!
	1:42pm Ike: Yeah, great show! Wow!
	1:43pm Carmichael: Kevin seemed to have found himself a Moog.
	1:43pm tonyc: Thanks, Ike!! (And greetings....)
	1:43pm iker: Tony, since you won't be on next week, can we expect the "80s singles" splecial the week after that? i'm definitely looking forward to that show!
	1:44pm tonyc: Yes, Iker -- the single special will be the week after (10/25).
	1:45pm tonyc: Meanwhile, everybody, please pitch in with a pledge if you can -- it'd be mucho, mucho appreciated!
	1:45pm Carmichael: Oh, what a lucky man ... he is. is. is.
	1:46pm Brian in UK: J J It was Joe McGasko did the Satisfaction show.
	1:49pm Brian in UK: Satisfaction guaranteed http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/39204
	1:50pm tonyc: Coming up: a set of less ambivalent covers.
	1:50pm Brian in UK: tonyc you sure are making us Gladys.
	1:51pm tahomajohn: hahaha.. this is hilarious!
	1:52pm Garbage Bag: I'm Glad.
	1:53pm Brian in UK: Carmichael this sounds interesting. They even use the word freeform in the programme http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b015mspc
	1:57pm tonyc: All is (too) quiet on the pledging front. Help me break free of the dreaded 66%!
	1:58pm J J: Brian, that most certainly is the show. I would have looked it up if I didn't feel threatened by my ancient computer and the browser that horribly sluggish.
	1:59pm tahomajohn: This Sagette piece reminds me of the awesome Up With People cover of Foghat's Slowride... sadly:(
	2:01pm tonyc: Come on people: turn that 66 upside down!
	2:02pm conrad: ohmigawd, you have the Gazoo Band album?!? I thought I was the only person in the world with that one! Where'd you get it?
	2:04pm tonyc: Conrad: Got the Gozoo many ages ago, in a second-hand book store.
	2:10pm Carmichael: Brian@1:53: Food trucks are a booming scene out here. Cheap and filling, and the food is much better than the chipper van I grew up with.
	2:12pm tahomajohn: And The Dohters of the Revolooshun have arisen again, too!
	2:14pm tonyc: Anyone know who originally recorded "Scarlet Ribbons"? I've got at least three covers of it, but don't know who did it first.
	2:14pm Carmichael: Gandalf? Wasn't the 60s a great time for band names? I remember Frumious Bandersnatch.
	2:17pm tahomajohn: Dunno. But the original could not have possibly had a fuller beat of gandalfian substance.. omg, is this the original Phil, Jack and Loretta piece of Leaving?
	2:18pm tonyc: Only 45 minutes left in today's show -- gotta get those numbers soaring with that old jet plane. Please pledge, dear listener-lookers!
	2:20pm tonyc: tahomajohn: Haven't been introduced to messrs./missrs. Phil, Jack and Loretta.
	2:23pm tahomajohn: They were really big in Peoria back on the 21rst of August, 1971 .
	2:26pm tahomajohn: ZOWEE!
	2:27pm Hugo: Here is a question or two to ponder: When is a tune a "cover" and not a "version"? Only when there is an undisputed original? How close does it have to be to the original to be a cover?
	2:30pm tonyc: Good questions, Hugo -- even if I don't have any answers at the moment.
	2:31pm tonyc: Only half an hour left ... I'd REALLY like to see a bit more pledgin'. Purty please?
	2:32pm tahomajohn: this is better than elvis!
	2:37pm BSI: pledge-wedgie delivered. Wish it could be more, alas....
	2:38pm tahomajohn: PLural EDGE or Pointed LEDGE... it still is PLain to see ED in the GE tubes, if you get my drift, people.
	2:38pm tonyc: Thanks so much, BSI!
	2:38pm tonyc: Yes, the one-eyed midget is shouting: PLEDGE!
	2:39pm BSI: Didn't see the link on the FMU home page at noon & panicked... didn't think we had you this week.... but all is well.
	2:41pm Hugo: To give an example: When Jimi Hendrix played the "Star Spangled Banner" at Woodstock, did he cover it or did he make a version of it?
	2:42pm tonyc: Please let me break into the exclusive rank of the 70th percentile. I'm only a percentage point away....
	2:42pm tonyc: Hugo: Mebbe both?
	2:45pm tahomajohn: Cough up the dough, you capitalist widgets caked in filthy lucre, before it's too late, c'mon!!!
	2:45pm tonyc: Please, please -- just a few more last-minute pledges so I can make it on B'way.
	2:47pm BSI: what he said!
	2:49pm tonyc: Again, I won't be on next week. I will be back on Oct. 25th, though, with an all-'80s singles show. (As part of the station-wide Singles Going Steady week.)
	2:51pm tahomajohn: Pledge: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand! For as it is written, he who pledgeth not doth not entereth, either. Pledgeth and thirsteth no more!
	2:51pm J J: I threw in all my cash last week. Maybe I'll join one of those experimental drug research studies for extra money.
	2:54pm tahomajohn: Great show, Tony, Haunting, funny, bizarre and beautiful!
	2:55pm tonyc: Thanks for last week, JJ! By the way, wanted to mention that I think I've managed to make the 4-week mp3 archives sound better than they have been sounding.
	2:55pm Frank Booth: Suave, man. You're so fuckin' suave!
	2:55pm BSI: PEOPLE OF THE WORLD: Bring this show up to 70% or the sea-monkey family gets it.
	2:55pm tonyc: Thanks, tahomajohn!
	2:58pm tonyc: And thanks everybody for listening! See you in two weeks. In the meantime ... please support FMU and Give the Drummer Radio!
	2:59pm tonyc: Three cheers for 70%!! Hurray! Keep those pledges coming.... (And thanks to the mystery pledger!)
	2:59pm tahomajohn: We spared the sea monkey family!!!
	2:59pm BSI: [sea-monkeys suddenly quite relieved]
	3:00pm tonyc: Thanks again, everyone! See you back here on Oct. 25th.
	6:12pm tonyc: Many thanks to you post-show pledgers!!
	5:54pm walter goulet: This should be fun! so much fantastic music to listen to!!

	12:24pm Brian in UK: I'm getting pre-teen 'California '99' notes.
	12:28pm still b/p: Brian -- Yes. If you can find the vintage stuff in someone's attic or a specialty shop, you'll pay a LOT. Cheap modern synthetic knock-offs are not as warm, as handsome or worth having.
	12:31pm Brian in UK: still b/p the back cover of Jimmie Spheeris' first album has just the example I think you have in mind. Got to be the LP. CDs do not cut it.
	12:32pm mark: Freberg is still the King ... nice!

	12:36pm Brian in UK: No Crosby. Phew.

	12:41pm Carmichael: Answer carefully, Tony.
	12:42pm tonyc: Brian: Sadly, yes, they do....
	12:43pm Doug S.: I think we're going to need a shower after this show, Tony. Hey, how about showering some generous contributions down on WFMU right about now?? IF EVERYBODY LISTENING RIGHT NOW GIVES $10, TONY WILL MAKE HIS GOAL... Just saying...
	12:44pm Brian in UK: I get the feeling that Peter Sellers' Hard Days Night' is too 'ironic' for this show.
	12:46pm charlie: Tony, this show ranks with your great "Hit Replay" marathon premium of a couple of years ago -- one of my fave premium CDs.
	12:47pm still b/p: Hey, hey, it's a Monkees cover, Galen's just Monkeein' around...

	1:02pm Carmichael: Am I at the Celtic Festival?
	1:05pm tonyc: What's now playing is, of course, a Soft Machine cover....
	1:06pm Doug S.: • WFMU has set modest, attainable goals for this October fundraiser, but it is crucial that they are met. • Remember that WFMU did NOT make the goal during our regular on-air fundraiser last March. • The station — and all its vital projects, like this here alternate web stream — will be significantly challenged if we don't meet our goal this month. We will get there by having each individual show reach its own goal. • Please make a few clicks and move Tony's pledge thermometer into FEVER TERRITORY.
	1:07pm tonyc: Yes, you give me FEVER... when you pledge....
	1:08pm tonyc: On now: a Doors cover....
	1:14pm tonyc: Should point out that I won't be on next week -- so I need to do well with the fundraising today. Please pledge for Give the Drummer Radio and the station!
	1:15pm tonyc: Thanks for the pledge!
	1:16pm glenn: music machine, yeah?
	1:16pm tonyc: Glenn: Yep, Music Machine
	1:18pm tonyc: Be a Stooge for FMU -- pledge, pledge, pledge!
	1:18pm iker: ciaoTony! here i am, better late than never. just in time for making my little pledge. :-)
	1:19pm tonyc: Hey, Iker! Thanks for the pledge!
	1:20pm tonyc: Who knew you could rock out on "Eleanor Rigby"?
	1:21pm Ricardo Montalban: This Claw track has evidence of Ferry syndrome
	1:22pm tonyc: Nah -- they're tough biker dudes. They'd probably want to beat him up, despite their warbly vocals
	1:28pm J J: Do the television personalities know where syd barrett is buried?
	1:29pm tonyc: Good question, JJ. Hey -- we're at the halfway point of today's show ... would love to see more pledging action, esp since I won't be on next week.
	1:35pm J J: I forgot who it was but someone did an entire three hour show of nothing but covers of "Satisfaction."
	1:36pm tonyc: Huh -- missed that. Joe Belock did a premium that was nothing but covers of "Hey Joe."
	1:38pm pledge: sister sledge
	1:38pm Ricardo Montalban: What the hell?
	1:38pm don: great show tony. this yesterday cover just forcefully made me abandon my lurker status
	1:39pm tonyc: Hey there, Lurker Don!
	1:42pm Ike: Yeah, great show! Wow!
	1:43pm Carmichael: Kevin seemed to have found himself a Moog.
	1:43pm tonyc: Thanks, Ike!! (And greetings....)
	1:43pm iker: Tony, since you won't be on next week, can we expect the "80s singles" splecial the week after that? i'm definitely looking forward to that show!
	1:44pm tonyc: Yes, Iker -- the single special will be the week after (10/25).
	1:45pm tonyc: Meanwhile, everybody, please pitch in with a pledge if you can -- it'd be mucho, mucho appreciated!
	1:45pm Carmichael: Oh, what a lucky man ... he is. is. is.
	1:46pm Brian in UK: J J It was Joe McGasko did the Satisfaction show.
	1:49pm Brian in UK: Satisfaction guaranteed http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/39204
	1:50pm tonyc: Coming up: a set of less ambivalent covers.
	1:50pm Brian in UK: tonyc you sure are making us Gladys.
	1:51pm tahomajohn: hahaha.. this is hilarious!
	1:52pm Garbage Bag: I'm Glad.
	1:53pm Brian in UK: Carmichael this sounds interesting. They even use the word freeform in the programme http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b015mspc
	1:57pm tonyc: All is (too) quiet on the pledging front. Help me break free of the dreaded 66%!
	1:58pm J J: Brian, that most certainly is the show. I would have looked it up if I didn't feel threatened by my ancient computer and the browser that horribly sluggish.
	1:59pm tahomajohn: This Sagette piece reminds me of the awesome Up With People cover of Foghat's Slowride... sadly:(
	2:01pm tonyc: Come on people: turn that 66 upside down!
	2:02pm conrad: ohmigawd, you have the Gazoo Band album?!? I thought I was the only person in the world with that one! Where'd you get it?
	2:04pm tonyc: Conrad: Got the Gozoo many ages ago, in a second-hand book store.
	2:10pm Carmichael: Brian@1:53: Food trucks are a booming scene out here. Cheap and filling, and the food is much better than the chipper van I grew up with.
	2:12pm tahomajohn: And The Dohters of the Revolooshun have arisen again, too!
	2:14pm tonyc: Anyone know who originally recorded "Scarlet Ribbons"? I've got at least three covers of it, but don't know who did it first.
	2:14pm Carmichael: Gandalf? Wasn't the 60s a great time for band names? I remember Frumious Bandersnatch.
	2:17pm tahomajohn: Dunno. But the original could not have possibly had a fuller beat of gandalfian substance.. omg, is this the original Phil, Jack and Loretta piece of Leaving?
	2:18pm tonyc: Only 45 minutes left in today's show -- gotta get those numbers soaring with that old jet plane. Please pledge, dear listener-lookers!
	2:20pm tonyc: tahomajohn: Haven't been introduced to messrs./missrs. Phil, Jack and Loretta.
	2:23pm tahomajohn: They were really big in Peoria back on the 21rst of August, 1971 .
	2:26pm tahomajohn: ZOWEE!
	2:27pm Hugo: Here is a question or two to ponder: When is a tune a "cover" and not a "version"? Only when there is an undisputed original? How close does it have to be to the original to be a cover?
	2:30pm tonyc: Good questions, Hugo -- even if I don't have any answers at the moment.
	2:31pm tonyc: Only half an hour left ... I'd REALLY like to see a bit more pledgin'. Purty please?
	2:32pm tahomajohn: this is better than elvis!
	2:37pm BSI: pledge-wedgie delivered. Wish it could be more, alas....
	2:38pm tahomajohn: PLural EDGE or Pointed LEDGE... it still is PLain to see ED in the GE tubes, if you get my drift, people.
	2:38pm tonyc: Thanks so much, BSI!
	2:38pm tonyc: Yes, the one-eyed midget is shouting: PLEDGE!
	2:39pm BSI: Didn't see the link on the FMU home page at noon & panicked... didn't think we had you this week.... but all is well.
	2:41pm Hugo: To give an example: When Jimi Hendrix played the "Star Spangled Banner" at Woodstock, did he cover it or did he make a version of it?
	2:42pm tonyc: Please let me break into the exclusive rank of the 70th percentile. I'm only a percentage point away....
	2:42pm tonyc: Hugo: Mebbe both?
	2:45pm tahomajohn: Cough up the dough, you capitalist widgets caked in filthy lucre, before it's too late, c'mon!!!
	2:45pm tonyc: Please, please -- just a few more last-minute pledges so I can make it on B'way.
	2:47pm BSI: what he said!
	2:49pm tonyc: Again, I won't be on next week. I will be back on Oct. 25th, though, with an all-'80s singles show. (As part of the station-wide Singles Going Steady week.)
	2:51pm tahomajohn: Pledge: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand! For as it is written, he who pledgeth not doth not entereth, either. Pledgeth and thirsteth no more!
	2:51pm J J: I threw in all my cash last week. Maybe I'll join one of those experimental drug research studies for extra money.
	2:54pm tahomajohn: Great show, Tony, Haunting, funny, bizarre and beautiful!
	2:55pm tonyc: Thanks for last week, JJ! By the way, wanted to mention that I think I've managed to make the 4-week mp3 archives sound better than they have been sounding.
	2:55pm Frank Booth: Suave, man. You're so fuckin' suave!
	2:55pm BSI: PEOPLE OF THE WORLD: Bring this show up to 70% or the sea-monkey family gets it.
	2:55pm tonyc: Thanks, tahomajohn!
	2:58pm tonyc: And thanks everybody for listening! See you in two weeks. In the meantime ... please support FMU and Give the Drummer Radio!
	2:59pm tonyc: Three cheers for 70%!! Hurray! Keep those pledges coming.... (And thanks to the mystery pledger!)
	2:59pm tahomajohn: We spared the sea monkey family!!!
	2:59pm BSI: [sea-monkeys suddenly quite relieved]
	3:00pm tonyc: Thanks again, everyone! See you back here on Oct. 25th.
	6:12pm tonyc: Many thanks to you post-show pledgers!!
	5:54pm walter goulet: This should be fun! so much fantastic music to listen to!!
