Upcoming events:

Mon. Oct 21st, 9am - Noon: Even More People You May Know (More info...)

Last year around this time, Joe did a show he really enjoyed. It was the second time he did it. He played songs with titles that named people: First name, last name. An example of this type of song would be David Bowie's "Andy Warhol" (although he hasn't played that one yet). This year, Joe will be playing more songs like this. It will be fun and informative. He hopes you will also enjoy it.

Mon. Oct 28th, 9am - Noon: Play It Again, Band (More info...)

If you have a hit in pop music, it's never a bad idea to see if it could be a hit again. That's why the Ventures did "Walk Don't Run" and then "Walk Don't Run '64." That's why David Bowie did "Fame" and then "Fame '90." Tune in for an entire show made up of performers reviving their hits for new pop eras with varying degrees of success.

	Mon. 7/30/18 10:11am coelacanth∅: hey this is better than the original!
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:12am coelacanth∅: steve i never heard of either of those, but i guess you're not so impressed anyway!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:14am doctorjazz: Great Neil Young cover!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:15am Joe McG: @drjazz: Ha ha! It would be cool if she'd tried that.

	Mon. 7/30/18 10:15am Mick: I caught the Hold Steady at White Eagle Hall in JC last week - thought they were great. Earplugs were needed (by me, anyway). We didn't have Japandroids open though.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:16am steveo: i think the hold steady is probably more interesting when you can understand the lyrics, but I probably won't explore much further (at least until they show up in joel st. g's heavily played email haha)
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:17am karlward: Oh yeah, highlight those drums! Great mix.
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:17am coelacanth∅: at any given moment when i'm out i'm more likely to have some earplugs with me than a cellphone.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:18am holland oats: hold up what was that about ankles millie?
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:18am PKNY: I was hoping Millie was going to take this 'out' in some way, so she threw in some ankle biting!
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:18am Mick: steveo - agreed re lyrics, and the frustrating paradox of 'this is so loud i can't hear anything.' Not to be all pete seeger about it or anything...
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:20am Sem: Hello, Joe, McGaskoes everywhere and in the ether, those on the ether, and those w/ nominally normal consciousnesses. Greets from Canada's Ocean Playground: Nova Sauna.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:20am doctorjazz: My bad, just jumped into my head, and posted quickly ,but, yeah, would that be a great idea! (just got and listened to Neil Young's Tonight's the Night - Live at the Roxy, it's great, probably why it stuck in my head ..)
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:21am Morphe: Must you make old folks horney????? I might use that hole in the 45''' Or A glass mik bottle filled with fresh calves liver!!! Wecome to the north of Spain - where the men are men .. and the sheep are nervous... A bit of old - inappropriate - Bklyn himour.. Morphe
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:21am Joe McG: Greetings, Sem! @PKNY: Can always count on Millie J!
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:23am Henry in Hopatcong: Hey Joe! Diggin these tunes!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:25am Joe McG: @Henry: I'm glad! I like the alliteration, btw. I wish I were Joe from Johnstown or Joe from Jasper.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:26am steveo: joe mc g. in jersey c.
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:27am Henry in Hopatcong: Right now you're Joe in JC!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:27am Joe McG: Hey that works! :)
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:28am Henry in Hopatcong: @steveo - I like that! Nice.
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:28am sinner: Joe.
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:30am Morphe: JC = Jesus Christo po box####### Jesus walks into a hotel.... throws 3 nails upon the counter and says_> Can you put me up for the night????
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:31am PKNY: @Joe - speaking of slowing down 45s to 33s, I finally pulled the trigger while on vacation and picked up a $1 copy of the Osmonds' "Crazy Horses". Evilest thing ever!
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:32am The Oscar: Can't wait to get that premium-- love me some Ennio!

	Mon. 7/30/18 10:39am melinda: Yes, great cover
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:39am pantz: That's some fancy geetar pickin' too!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:39am steveo: for myself, it's not fair to compare a version I've never heard to one i've heard 300 times; the 'new' one can't lose
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:40am Mick: This is kind of fantastic
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:40am Brendan: I hope you play the Claire Hamill B side too

	Mon. 7/30/18 10:41am The Oscar: Safe to say, the best "fake" punk song ever?

	Mon. 7/30/18 10:42am Apple: https://grahamfellowsmusic.com/gigs/

	Mon. 7/30/18 10:43am melinda: @steveo I wonder if she could rehabilitate House of the Rising Sun
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:44am dfb: i have never heard that jilted john, how did i miss that one, reminds me of being 16.
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:44am David in London: Jilted John, ha ha! The great Martin Hannett at the controls.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:46am holland oats: @oscar for my $ the best fake punk was the monks (not those monks, the other monks)
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:46am Brendan: That cover of ‘We Gotta Get Out” produced by Ray Davies

	Mon. 7/30/18 10:54am Dean: Another contender for best "fake" punk song: John Dowie's "British Tourist" http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/05/john_dowies_hat.html
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:55am melinda: I love No Free Lunch, heard it on local station years ago while I was taping a show but couldn't figure out who the band was.
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:56am Itzall Ablurr: That reminds me, I need a thunder-nap.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:56am ChrisB.: Gas, Food & Lodging due for a reissue on Run Out Groove.
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:57am coelacanth∅: and, speaking of fake punk - steveo, i just checked out 46 seconds of "stay positive" by the hold steady. i liked it! though if he yells every song, as some bands do, then i will change my mind and call it shit! ...and i don't know what he's/they're saying. but i'd go see them in a small bar, for sure.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 10:57am holland oats: @brian for whatever reason, i have that record memorized
	Mon. 7/30/18 10:58am coelacanth∅: so, thunderclap newman had more than one song after all! and it's pretty good!

	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:00am Joe McG: @ChrisB: That's welcome news!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:02am holland oats: actual surface noise!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:02am karlward: Now that's some surface noise!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:03am coelacanth∅: i recognise this particular surface noise, before the bed music kicks in!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:04am coelacanth∅: (or is this my imagination...)
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:05am jess: I love that green on red song!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:05am mb: Morning Joe and all. Surfacing late today.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:10am Jay: What song is playing in the background here?

	Mon. 7/30/18 11:13am Dean: I followed suit and bought it, too. It's great.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:13am Sean B.: Excellent show today Joe. I love Hollywood Dream, such an underrated band that I would have like to hear more from. Hank Ballard is the bomb. That is the best idea for a premium @JoeMcG I think you would have to do 3 or 4 premium to cover that subject. The Stroke!. Thanks again for the morning sounds. :-)
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:14am karlward: Joe: call the segment ONE AND DONE

	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:16am ChrisB.: Wow. This sounds like Game Theory. Until you hit the chorus.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:17am Brian in UK: I think we all have albums like Joe was talking about. Make a mixtape of the best tracks and flog off the albums.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:18am Listener Scott: Joe, some other time you could play the 8 or so songs from each album that you *didn't* like and call that segment GARBAGE TIME. Oh wait.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:19am Dean: You didn't like "Jim Dandy"?
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:19am Itzall Ablurr: *choke*
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:20am Joe McG: @Dean: Not a lot!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:20am βrian: Black Oak R-Kansas.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:21am Joe McG: I guess it goes without saying that this is very subjective. The one song I like on the album another person may think is the worst one!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:23am Brendan: Great cover of Rush’s Circumstances
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:23am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:23am JakeGould: Hey Joe!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:24am holland oats: that escalated quickly
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:24am ChrisB.: So far I think you're safe to jettison these albums without fear of remorse.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:25am JakeGould: Hey Joe! Quick question: Is registering to “The Boomtown Rats” discography in release order a worthwhile effort?
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:26am Lewis: this is the *good* song?! from the Megan McDonough...
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:26am Joe McG: @Jake: Hmm. Maybe for the first couple of albums.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:26am Joe McG: @Lewis: I have a weakness for songs about people dying from drugs, I guess.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:27am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: So the first 3 it is. That is my general rule: Even for great bands the first 3 albums are really the bulk of what anyone should care about.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:27am northguineahills: @Joe: So does SM Ken.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:28am northguineahills: @Jake: Difficulty, the Beatles, Miles Davis, John and Alice Coltrane..., but yeah, they are the exceptions....
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:28am Dean: I enjoy only one track on "Metal Machine Music."
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:29am Itzall Ablurr: I am hearing multiple notes.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:29am steveo: @coel - the lead singer never really sings as far as i could tell. i think there's a literary quality that appeals to people about the lyrics. they were a very tight straight-up hard-charging rock and roll band please never bring them up again :)
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:30am Joe McG: This album's OK, but like a lot of MJQ, it's sleepy time. I don't need more than 2 MJQ LPs. This one has to go.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:30am Sem: I like all the note, in any order.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:31am JakeGould: Is the doctor ready to see me yet?
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:31am northguineahills: It's hard to fuck up One Note Samba...
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:32am Mark in Toronto: Thanks for playing (not forgetting) Beat Rodeo. Love that band.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:33am Joe McG: @Mark: I don't love these lyrics (not sure who they're about), but mostly this LP doesn't do it for me. Love the first one, though.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:34am Davee: Heeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaa!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:34am JakeGould: “Some Songs I Think Are OK from Albums I Bought That I Don't Really Like All That Much” SUCH A GOOD IDEA!!!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:34am steveo: cliff westhall and girls on grass last week, in a small bar, however were both fantastic
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:35am fred: @ngh: The name "one note samba" always reminds me of Rhys Chatham's Guitar Trio, because it an E chord throughout. Of course the results are quite different
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:35am JakeGould: This sounds like an old family member’s middling bluegrass attempts. Did I ever tell you someone in my family I am not really fond of once attempted to be a bluegrass artist?
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:36am Joe McG: @Jake: This song is part of a side-long suite about a girl who falls in love with a drug dealer.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:37am JakeGould: *mic drop* Goodnight folks!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:38am The Oscar: @Dean One night in college I had a paper due and my roommate was watching TV, so I just put MMM on my headphones and listened to it on repeat. By the fourth or fifth go-round (probably around dawn), I found myself skipping to the parts that I was convinced were my favorites.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:38am Mark in Toronto: I agree with you, the first album is a killer. Was lucky enough to see them when they played a small bar in Toronto in the 80's.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:38am Krys O.: I used to play Fat Mattress, Noel's other band.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:39am Joe McG: @Krys O: I like Fat Mattress!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:40am Dean: @The Oscar: I'd love to read that paper. Agreed re: Fat Mattress. Redding was in another band, wasn't he? Some hotshot?
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:42am David in London: I always liked Noel Redding’s advice to young, aspirant musicians - buy a gun and get a good accountant. Sad but true.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:43am pantz: You must have been in a really good mood to choose this 3 Degrees song, Joe.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:44am Joe McG: @pantz: It's happy!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:44am lilmaloulou/ Mike tp: love the unknown noel
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:45am Mike tp: great fst matress song I don't mind.....
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:45am Dean: So, "Two and Through"?
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:46am JakeGould: I like 1980s synths. But… This is like borderline cult music.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:46am Dean: And what's so bad about borderline cults?
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:47am Johnzon: Wow
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:47am JakeGould: Full cult or GTFO.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:47am northguineahills: I went crosseyed and was about to ask if Warp Recs was around in '82???
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:48am robin: new musik! most ungooglable band ever
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:48am Dean: You'd think The The, but no.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:49am Listener Scott: The The may be more ungoogleable
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:49am Hughie Considine: New Musik got a lot of play on WPIX in NYC with "Straight Lines" -- amazing singles band. Bob Stanley writes rapturously about Tony Mansfield's songwriting in his book "Yeah Yeah Yeah."
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:50am The Oscar: The self-titled album by Love pretty much drove me crazy in the filesharing days.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:50am Hughie Considine: Girls was extremely Google unfriendly.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:50am fred: @robin and Scott: 10 (Korean/Japanese duo) beats both by a few lengths
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:50am Dean: Sad but interesting news about the Fantasy Studios building here in Berkeley: http://www.berkeleyside.com/2018/07/29/berkeleys-fantasy-studios-an-internationally-renowned-film-and-music-studio-to-close-its-doors Interesting group of commenters, including Damon Smith.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:51am queems: mmm jesusy
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:51am Joe McG: This song is sort of like "Get Ready" done Jesus-style.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:51am David in London: I remember New Musik’s ‘Living by Numbers’ being a huge smasheroo when it came out.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:52am Dean: Gotta Cream thing going on, too.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:52am Joe McG: @queems: Maybe I should give this album to Micah for his inevitable Jews for Jesus special.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:52am duke: This is obviously not the Andy Barlow and Lou Rhodes Lamb
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:53am steveo: hey @coel sorry if that sounded mean, i'm just being silly and feeling self-conscious about blabbing so much
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:53am northguineahills: Mmmm, going to make some lamb vindaloo tacos (from Indian leftovers). Thanks Joe!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:53am queems: @joe mcg an excellent idea
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:53am Dean: Lamb vindaloo is...heavenly!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:55am northguineahills: I'm adding ghost peppers, crema, my own tomatoes, and some refried beans, and queso Oaxaca....
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:55am Brendan: Joe I admire your courage. I too, like some of these almost cringe worthy songs.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:55am Sem: See you and all next time, Joe. As usual, delicious spins and a scintilatting comments board takes the sting out of Monday blues.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:56am Dean: Is queso Oaxaca a good melter? Or crumbly? Asking for the next time I make black bean enchiladas.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:56am northguineahills: @Dean: It's akin to fresh Mozarella.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:57am northguineahills: so, very melty!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:57am Joe McG: @duke: No, definitely not!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:57am Dean: Perfect, @ngh. Mental note to pick some up.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:57am queems: the verse stole the melody from the holly and the ivy
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:58am Joe McG: Hey, thanks for listening to my closet cleaning today. Have a great week, everybody! Happy August!
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 11:58am Brian in UK: Joe, thanks. Hope you get good bids on (unmentioned) formerly auction site now given over to businesses.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:58am queems: thanks joe!!
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:58am Dean: I would keep the Sunday Funnies, if only for the label.
	Mon. 7/30/18 11:59am pantz: Thanks for another great show, Joe.
	🎃 Mon. 7/30/18 12:00pm duke: Thanks Joe!
	Mon. 7/30/18 12:00pm JakeGould: L-ove A-ngel M-usic B-aby
	Mon. 7/30/18 12:01pm JakeGould: Thanks Joe!!!
	Mon. 7/30/18 12:01pm Dean: Guilty pleasure, that Gwen Stefani
