	9:29am Fredericks: No, thanks, Joseph, No, thanks.
	9:29am Son Of Pantz: @JoeMcG It may sound corny but I believe loved ones we have lost visit us when we need them most. My mother visits me when I need some guidance, in my dreams.
	9:30am Penci: Wonderful set
	9:30am David (in London): Hey Buddha and Melinda. Pantz - Not corny at all. We reach out for those we love in time of need and they answer in their way.

	9:35am bore: good morning, this is nice
	9:35am David (in London): McGasko, I'm melting into my keyboard here! I need to finish this Board report and I'm slowing to a stand-still now. Why I oughta...
	9:35am Joe McG: @RBR: Love that Rose thought it was Vashti! Cool kid! I probably have played Low at some point. I always liked them. I remember seeing them at a show and someone coughed and got dirty looks.
	9:35am Handy Haversack: Hey, Rache! Kate is also a big Low fan. Minnesota peeps stick together. Yo, Mariano!
	9:35am Webhamster Henry: DX7-y this Ana Roxane.
	9:36am morphe': Rachel - I was born in Bklyn 1961 -Sr Elizabeth Hospital (51st and 3rd) long gone ... and first grew up on 55th bet 3rd/4th.. Bklyn Kidz are super special - but do be wary - they become super sly and too smart for their own britches at times... Health and Happiness to you and the family
	9:36am bore: wish I had this at 4am last night
	9:36am David (in London): Yo Mariano.
	9:37am Joe McG: @bore: I was also awake at 4. Ugh.
	9:37am Andrew_in_WI: - - - Anyone read that article in the NYTIMES about poets and punctuation?
	9:38am morphe': David van der Stoke - when working for the NYC Board of Education - after long seniority - I used to wite NYC Bored of Education on official docs (bored with Admin, not the students) ... sounds like you are writing a Bored Report....
	9:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, surface dwellers making noise. Similar to the Led Zeppelin "ZOSO" album, will that song become known as "Three Hyphens"?
	9:40am donpappy: This all lands right this morning. Thanks, Joe.
	9:40am Handy Haversack: Maybe it's "o" in Morse code, Ken?
	9:41am morphe': Andrew_> have you read - EATS SHOOTS AND LEAVES
	9:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Andrew_in_WI: What section is it in? I couldn't find it.
	9:41am bore: @joe well at least the morning is nice so far, thanks
	9:42am morphe': Woodson... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/29/books/review/on-poetry-punctuation.html
	9:42am Ken From Hyde Park: (En Dash)³
	9:43am David (in London): morphester, you were the Chairman of the Bored. To be fair this report is OK, but Joe's lullaby set is stupefying me. I think I need to walk around the block and let the cold air wake me up.
	9:43am Phillippe Bastille: Great opening set, Joe. Hi everyone!
	9:43am Hubig Pie: Pastoral Monday mornin' sounds. I likey
	9:43am Andrew_in_WI: @Woods I think it was in last Sundays edition... can't recall the section, but possibly the book review?
	9:44am David (in London): Hey Phillippe. Wotcha Hubig.
	9:44am Andrew_in_WI: Morphe found it
	9:44am karlward: This is strange power pop
	9:45am Cal Zone!: Hello Joe and fellow McGaskets!
	9:45am steveo: a set should be a clickystarable entity
	9:45am Rachel Bo Bachel: Wow Morphe! So cool. I hope you come back for a visit sometime! Handy did you and Kate catch them at Murmrr (sp) in the fall 2019? Last live show I went to before all this craziness started! Joe that’s so funny re: cough. My sis and I were dancing at a Magnetic Fields once and we got the DIRTIEST looks lol. Hi again Boods!! <3
	9:46am steveo: @karl the best kind
	9:46am Hubig Pie: Wotcha David. Me china plate mate
	9:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Andrew in WI: Interesting. My pet peeve in modern poetry is the $50 word....I know I can use it to expand my vocabulary but I find it really annoying when words get dropped in that are not a part of %99.999 percent of the general public.
	9:47am morphe': Used to teach the significance of punctuation to my classes with the following when they complained about me asking for correct puntuation and how "it did not matter." a) = [incorrect] A woman without her man is nothing. b) = [correct] A woman, without her, man is nothing.
	9:49am Handy Haversack: Woods, when a poem uses a $50 word, ask for change.
	9:49am annette: @son pants, i agree. all continue to guide us.
	9:49am Ken From Hyde Park: Like these folks, morphe'? letseatgrandma.bandcamp.com
	9:50am Rick from SC: a belated good morning to Joe and all good folks enjoying this calming set
	9:50am waters7: Hey, nice beginning. Thanks
	9:50am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy Ha. I'll be rich!
	9:51am Handy Haversack: See, from the URL, I was anticipating Let Seat GR and MA.
	9:52am annette: lets kill grandma. punctuation needed. dont ya hate overpaid commentators who have no idea of what a punctuation mark is, and then your head has to autocorrect.
	9:53am Roberto: The musical Hadestown is all about Persephone and shizz.
	9:53am Webhamster Henry: Fans of Persephone will lovvve Lore Olympus. www.webtoons.com...
	9:53am adampsyche: not gonna lie, checking my wrist for a pulse, but i'm very ok with it.
	9:53am Rich in Bristol: Please can we have a "Scoobie Doobie Doobie" show some time? Joe plays songs with only punctuation in the title and guesses what they are supposed to stand for.
	9:54am Handy Haversack: Here's an excerpt from an index I'm proofing. Webhamster H, I bet you can guess which book it's from! Wernicke’s area, 181, 181 West Africa syncopation, 111–13, 120 WFMU (radio station), 122 whales, 16, 31, 203, 228–29, 248
	9:54am Sam: Tempo is just perfect this morning. Great show
	9:56am Joe McG: @Rich: ha ha @Sam: Who's that movie character that says "Tempo, tempo!"?
	9:56am David (in London): Is it 'A Beat Revolution on the High Seas: The Handy Haversack Story'?
	9:58am steveo: i think the number of performers here is not a coincidence
	9:58am Joe McG: @David: Must be!
	9:59am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe Captain Hook says it a couple of times in the 1954 Peter Pan :D
	9:59am mariano: Dread pirate Haversack and his avant-garde sea shanties? Who do I give my money to?
	10:00am steveo: also this jams that's funny HH
	10:00am Joe McG: @RBR: Ah, thanks!
	10:01am Handy Haversack: I go to indexes for a lot of found poetry.
	10:01am Webhamster Henry: @HH is there an elephant section?
	10:01am fionnland: Howdy Joe, Cervezas!
	10:01am Rachel Bo Bachel: Was that what you were thinking of Joe, really? Yay!
	10:01am karlward: Woods: Long past the hills of amamnesis / There you find the amanuensis / Perspicacious at his task / Ledgerist of dreams
	10:02am mariano: Handy: I'm sure you've seen the lists of unfortunate URLs like The Pen Is Mightier, Experts' Exchange, Power Gen Italia, Mole Station Nursery, etc.
	10:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @karlward I would like $49.99 in change please.
	10:02am steveo: handy, is "181, 181" your house style? i cant recall seeing r epititions like that
	10:03am David (in London): Hey fionnland. Any less dreich now, or still horrid?
	10:03am Handy Haversack: @WHH: definitely! steveo, italics don't translate to the comments board. One entry refers to text, one to a figure.
	10:04am steveo: aHA
	10:04am karlward: Woods: These words are indiscrete / Inviolate / No change
	10:04am fionnland: Worse, probably! But the good music and coffee is brightening the mood!
	10:05am Ken From Hyde Park: @mariano - Don't forget uncleandytoys, the dude from Seven Second Delay.
	10:05am karlward: If they knew how I was going to use it, they never would have given me that English degree.
	10:07am Joe McG: @karl: Ha ha!
	10:08am Handy Haversack: karlward, the perfect crime!
	10:09am mariano: Didn't know that one, KenFHP, good one.
	10:11am Joe McG: Oh, I forgot to tell everybody: I have a special thematic Single File today at 10:30.
	10:11am eric from lake hiawatha: Had to stop and listen to Les McCann. Transported to a dinner a long time ago. You nailed this morning
	10:12am Joe McG: @eric: Ah, nice. Music is by far the best mode of transport.
	10:13am Joe McG: OK, I'm starting to wake up now!
	10:13am BnowB OnSomeShit: Stevie Wonder.. I love you!
	10:13am steveo: still cloudy though
	10:15am BnowB OnSomeShit: this song SUNNY is a highlight for me :) these versions are sooo good <3
	10:15am waters7: Wow, this Les McCann is bringing me out of my Monday mood
	10:16am Joe McG: Oh good! "Sunny" did it for me, too!
	10:16am Ike: Greetings, humans! Sounds good!
	10:16am yerfriendpaul: Is ok if I scat along to this, like George Benson?
	10:17am BnowB OnSomeShit: Ive put "sunny" on so many times in life when I am sad. "the songs that saved my life"
	10:17am Rich in Bristol: Hot 8 Brass Band are so interesting. They are a cover band and yet their sound is so instantly recognisably theirs.
	10:17am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if Mary Wing has done "Sunny" for a Three of a Kind segment before. I'll bet it would be delightful.
	10:17am Joe McG: @yfp: Scatting encouraged!
	10:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): OK, I'm ready for the medley of heavy metal now.
	10:18am mariano: Hot 8! Damnit, now I'm gonna have to have a slice of king cake for breakfast...
	10:18am Webhamster Henry: You really need three hours of Sunny. You can mix in a little "Stormy" and "Cloudy" too.
	10:18am Handy Haversack: Joe's really twisting your arm, eh, Mariano?
	10:18am steveo: @kfhp, nope, but she did play a song with that title by Cher in 2011
	10:18am morphe': In Spain, they teach English (text books) using contractions. I tried to explain that written language and vernacular are different and the students (my son included) should learn Standard Written English and practice speaking with vernacular ... Deaf Ears ... I am not a stuffed shirthead .. I speak Brooklyn but I can write a decent letter if so required.. Spain has a National curriculum - the use CAMBRIDGE texts - idiots - nothing to do with Cambridge U (not that that matters either)- just a Public Domain Name = Webster's Dictionary, etc....
	10:19am Joe McG: @Henry: "Sunny" is actually not a bad choice for one of my Joy in Repetition shows!
	10:19am David (in London): Ken, it would be 68OAK probably. Mariano - Cake for breakfast is a champion way to start the day.
	10:19am D Rok (in brooklyn): I have never heard a version of Sunny I haven't liked. It's such a good tune.
	10:20am mariano: Handy, enough. I've obviously been pushed beyond what any man can be reasonably expected to bear. This is on you, Joe McG! David: Sometimes a man has to step up...
	10:20am steveo: could someone buy me a tuba?
	10:20am Webhamster Henry: @Joe I rely on WFMU DJs to do my shows for me.
	10:21am Derek in Atlantic City: “Who hurt you, Lionel?”
	10:22am northguineahills: I concur w/ the Sunny assessments. A good parody look of American society w/o digging too deep...
	10:22am Handy Haversack: Nothing that reasonable members of society demand as their rights! No fridges, no televisions, no pralines!
	10:23am Handy Haversack: steveo, to truly unlock the magic, you have to carve it yourself, out of a larger tuba ...
	10:23am morphe': I had a girlfriend - Sunny - for 10 years on and off .. we were a funny//odd match/mismatch === I hike with no food no extra clothes and no tent and she got her nails done (all 20) everyweek ... Sadly, in the end, I gave her dark clouds...
	10:23am steveo: haha; you are very wise, Handy
	10:24am Son Of Pantz: Groovy
	10:25am Threemoons: Oooh LOVE the hard shift to Simple Minds!
	10:26am mariano: morphe' = Oof. As someone who's taught English to Spanish speakers, that would drive me up the wall. How can anyone first learning a language presume to contradict a native speaker? Some Germans I knew when I was in Berlin would misconjugate and say things like "I didn't knew" (obviously translating literally from German). So I had to correct them. And when their friends tried to prevent me from performing my duty, I corrected them as well.
	10:27am fionnland: Loved the whole of this set! Ta, Joe
	10:27am mariano: morphe': Woah, you had a girlfriend with 20 nails? 'Scuse me, Hollywood!
	10:27am Joe McG: Ta, fionnland!
	10:27am Hubig Pie: If you carve down a tuba, you gets an Euphonium
	10:28am Handy Haversack: They call him the Corrector! Mariano, I am glad that you and Frodo are still happy together!
	10:28am Son Of Pantz: Cruisin' the Mall. Picking up chicks. Orange Julius and Aqua Net.
	10:28am Krys O.: 10 fingers + 10 toes = 20
	10:29am mariano: Krys O: Was kidding :)
	10:30am mariano: I've yet to have a girlfriend with all her nails.
	10:30am steveo: all my girlfriends are missing several toes
	10:30am Krys O.: HA, mariano!
	10:34am northguineahills: @mariano: as I always mention, vocabulary is my strong suit, grammar, english, spanish, and other languages, escapes me).
	10:34am mariano: Handy: I'm a trained New Orleanian, reduced to the status of a bum!
	10:35am steveo: my father always told me, if she has all her body parts, marry her
	10:35am βrian: No grammar, no glamour, Ms. Ackerman would tell me.
	10:36am Cal Zone!: It's either an Electric, Playground, or Orchestra theme, am I right? Do I win?
	10:36am Handy Haversack: "His girlfriend gave up her toe!" -- Flea
	10:36am johnk77: promised you a miracle a crowd favorite of simple minds live shows in the 80s the crews secret name for their band=pimply behinds
	10:37am KWilde: I always considered Apache a surf tune
	10:37am Threemoons: @Son of Pantz--I have vague memories of Aqua Net...and IIRC the very last orange julius place that I ever vaguely remember seeing as a wee one was at the Bergen Mall in NJ a few doors down from the Swiss Colony. I was maybe 5 and we had just picked up a TelStar video game console for the house...
	10:37am morphe': Toenails... rue story .. when Simon's ma was pregnant with Lovely Simon and turned into hormonal monsters ... she made me so nervious: I could not eat, my body rattled incontrollable as her voice rose and the 2nd toe (next to the big toe) on each foot spontaneously lost their nails ... they have never quite recovered .. hurt/ache now in the cold wet Madrid snow ... always think it is/will be diabities or gangrene ... That is a true story ... I can at time engage in goofy hyperbole ... but that is true.... they are aching now(since 9 years) as I contemplate visiting the supermarket to see if any food has mades its way into snow bound Madrid .. not taking any 45s to the street ... just a club to ward off the hoarder zombies..
	10:37am Brian in UK: The Shads called me in from the washing up.
	10:37am Colleen: Always sooo good Joe!!
	10:37am Joe McG: @Cal Zone!: Good guess! @johnk77: Hilarious! I'll never announce them in a different way again.
	10:38am Andrew_in_WI: @Joe McG Have you always had a Monday morning show? For some reason I could see you doing a Sunday afternoon show...
	10:39am adampsyche: nice clapping, i have the liz berg clap off compilation cd in my car
	10:39am Joe McG: @Andrew: No, I started off on Tuesdays, went to late night Saturdays, then Sat. morning, then Thursday monring. I've been here for a bit, though! @adam: I miss Liz Berg so much!!
	10:39am Son Of Pantz: @Threemoons when the Orange Julius was replaced with a Subway at my favorite mall, I knew it was all down hill from there.
	10:39am Handy Haversack: Electrifying set so far!
	10:39am BnowB OnSomeShit: The electric express had me dancing and sliding around wood floors in my socks. Monday funday.
	10:40am ?: go Joe! hey all - gonna be jumping in and out today. have a ball!
	10:40am Dennis Diken: oops - go Joe! hey all - gonna be jumping in and out today. have a ball!
	10:41am Joe McG: You jump, DD! @Handy: Ha ha!
	10:41am morphe': Rue story = True Story: ON RAGALIN ROAD (Patrick Kavanaugh poem/Luke Kelly sung it best) for after Joe's show) "On Raglan Road of an autumn day I saw her first and knew That her dark hair would weave a snare That I might one day rue ....
	10:44am Son Of Pantz: Oh brother...
	10:44am Webhamster Henry: Did Capt. Beefheart cut a single of "Electricity"?
	10:45am Joe McG: I'm told the Electric Banana is the Pretty Things making some dough.
	10:45am G: Electric FTW
	10:46am karlward: These electric guitars aren't going to play themselves
	10:46am The Oscar: I was just gonna say, I think the Electric Banana is the Pretty Things' nom-de-library-music! They can be heard doing a dumb little country parody on the Dawn of the Dead soundtrack, among others.
	10:48am Spankyflop: I saw Electric Guitars open for Peter Gabriel at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. They didn't go over very well with the prog fans in attendence.
	10:48am mariano: morphe' = I'll always remember with great fondness the Irish girl who introduced me to Kavanagh's poems.
	10:49am Cal Zone!: This set is shocking!!!!! Sorry.
	10:49am Joe McG: @Spankyflop: Wow, it's hard to imagine a band like that playing such a big place! They must have gotten good management. @Cal: Ha ha
	10:50am steveo: i wonder if any current songs will fit this theme
	10:50am Brian in UK: Joe, cannot imagine the Pretty Things made much money!
	10:50am weiterso: hey Oliver, fantastic!
	10:51am yerfriendpaul: Hoping Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem make an appearance!
	10:51am Kramrellim: Peter Gabriel hand picked Electric Guitars to open for him on that tour. They went over better at the Capital in Passaic.
	10:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have a grandkid named Oliver. He's gonna get a kick outa that one!
	10:51am Spankyflop: I remember liking them. I was only about 14 years old. My older brother took me. I've tried looking them up, but they don't have a very SEO-friendly name.
	10:52am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha, I'm sure you're right! @yfp: I WISH I had an Electric Mayhem 45!!
	10:52am Threemoons: @Son of Pantz I agree...and I have somewhat winsome memories of Swiss Colony. My Dad, may he rest in peace, LOVED the catalogs for some reason. The entire brand was a giant conceit in 20/20 hindsight--faux "European" style cheeses and meat so over-processed that it could survive a year at room temperature--paired with sticky-oversweet fudges and chocolates, all delivered in tiered beribboned stacks of gilded boxes. Still, the contents delighted my kindergarten-aged self back then, and I still remember the giant mouse dressed in Xmas reds handing out cheese samples outside of the shop, as we waded through the holiday shoppers past the Orange Julius place. We may or may not have stopped at Friendly's on the way home.
	10:53am yerfriendpaul: Joe - they should've put out "Can you Picture that?". That tune rocks!
	10:54am Joe McG: If I only had a record company....!
	10:54am Spankyflop: It was on the Security Tour, I think Gabriel may have hand-picked them. I remember him introducing them, and telling the audience to be kind.
	10:54am morphe': Mariano - if ya get back to Dublin, there is a statue of Kavanaugh on the bank of the Grand Canal (Southside) near Portobello Bridge ... punks/mods often paint his shoes to look like Docs or those Suede Mod shoes.. https://statues.vanderkrogt.net/object.php?webpage=ST&record=ie065
	10:54am Spankyflop: The singer played a metal trash can with a broom stick.
	10:55am Son Of Pantz: Now I remember Swiss Colony. My teenage self survived on those free samples. I'm sure the employees were onto us returning 3 or 4 times for more, but weren't paid enough to care.
	10:56am Listener Alexandra: Howdy, Joe!
	10:56am Rick from SC: I'm amazed at the recall of old Peter Gabriel concerts. All I can remember is PG falling backwards into the crowd and everyone, including me, rubbing his very short hair cut. I think this was somewhere down the Jersey shore.
	10:56am mariano: morphe' = Unfortunately, aside from the Dublin airport on a layover, I've never been to Ireland. My introduction to Kavanagh was in Westport, CT of all places. She was visiting a mutual friend.
	10:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and everybody! Joe - be careful! This electric surge could cause a blackout!
	10:57am Cal Zone!: I was hoping for some Prunes. For my $ this is the better single than 'Too Much To Dream...'
	10:57am Son Of Pantz: I seem to remember a port wine cheese that I was very fond of.
	10:57am Joe McG: @Rick: He just reissued a bunch of his live albums on vinyl and the ad shows him doing the fall into the crowd.
	10:58am Rick from SC: Thanks, Joe. I'll have to check it out.
	10:58am Robbie Darling: Morning Joe!
	10:58am Handy Haversack: I saw that statue, morph! Also, we watched the Crock of Gold documentary on MacGowan through the WFMU on Demand on Friday. Well worth it.
	10:59am Threemoons: Loving this set. Is it 1972 yet?
	10:59am karlward: Wait is this Three Chord Monte?
	10:59am MplsCoco: Good morning Joe! Delightful show! Happy Monday.
	10:59am weiterso: there's a lot of AC/DC in these tracks
	11:00am karlward: Three Chord Noise / Surface Monte
	11:00am Joe McG: @Threemoons: We're all the way up to the Bicentennial! Hey, Coco! :) Hey, Robbie!
	11:00am Threemoons: @Son of Pantz by the time I had a job as a teen in my local mall, Swiss Colony had been supplanted by Fannie Farmer Chocolates. The cool kid with the New Wave Haircut who also worked my shift--the one who would paste up Zippy the Pinhead comics in the restroom--used to refer to it as "Farmer's Fanny" and would always crib samples from there all day long...
	11:00am pgalub: JUDAS!
	11:01am p/b: ELO, wow listen to you. I remember when this album was all over the radio whatever summer that was. So many braincells blown to hell. Love it
	11:01am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Love the crunchy chords.
	11:01am Joe McG: @pg: Ha ha
	11:01am Chop Scott: Hey Joe!
	11:01am karlward: I remember air drumming to this song as a kid while my brother air guitared. This song never gets old.
	11:02am Krys O.: Chris Butler of Tin Huey and the Waitresses had a screed about Do Ya: futurefossilmusic.com...
	11:02am Niko, Copenhagen: Greetings from Denmark.
	11:02am morphe': SpankyFlop - my instrument's sister - mine = old Lower East side stoves/ovens or a fridge if necessary with a hammer in TSQ before the police... ps all .. a lot of free concerts everyday!!! in Tompkins Sq Pk .. The best of all is PINC To Repeat = Find PINC in TSQ or St marks church 10th-2nd: https://thevillagesun.com/a-rockin-halloween-in-tompkins-square-park
	11:03am Webhamster Henry: ELO can sure fill up a disc.
	11:05am Spankyflop: @Rick - He fell back at that show and lost his headset mic. A few songs later someone in the audience gave it back.
	11:05am Handy Haversack: Total earworm, too, that ELO tune.
	11:06am Niko, Copenhagen: A theme today has been “songs that r somehow a little too long”... Like it!
	11:07am Rick from SC: @spankyflop, do you remember the venue?
	11:07am Ike: Yep, indeed, I was wondering where "Electric Avenue" was! Thanks for pre-emptively addressing that!
	11:08am fionnland: Electric Guitars are Bristolian - we cannae claim 'em.
	11:08am Hubig Pie: Spinal Tap played at the Electric Banana
	11:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: Holy smokes, that's some ranting right there!
	11:13am morphe': ps Pinc TSQ: for aftyer JOE!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKaAMGIH1eY Pss ... PINC = F Train Vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6JYzAS05DA
	11:13am Joe McG: Ah, thanks, fionnland. Usually when I get someone's location wrong, they're from Bristol. I'm going to start saying everyone is from Bristol!
	11:14am Handy Haversack: Gah, I gotta get out there and walk around. The day is already disappearing!
	11:14am Roberto: Techno Lizzy!
	11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): Whoa - I'd say this fits Phil Lynott well. I wonder if Neil was paying attention to this when considering Trans?
	11:15am Roberto: Handy, I'm taking my daily walk up to the roof right now!
	11:15am morphe': Phil Lynott - there is also a Phil Lynott statue in Dublin: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/phil-lynott-statue Molly Malone too...
	11:16am efd: This Phil Lynott (featuring Midge Ure) song is a longtime fave of mine!
	11:16am Joe McG: There's a Stereolab tune that lifts the synth riff from that song.
	11:16am Joe McG: @efd: Do you know what Stereolab song that is?
	11:17am Sean from Dublin Ireland: Hey Joe! Yellow Pearl by the great Dubliner Phil Lynott. This brings back memories. It was also the theme music to the legendary Top of the Pops on the BBC for a couple of years during the early 80's
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Dog, book, and I will be hitting the bridge as soon as I get the ol' Vegetarian Shoes paratrooper boots laced up. Thanks, Joe! It's been another really wonderful time with you. Very much appreciated. Be well, Surfactants. Hope to see you at the Next Joe Up's!
	11:17am efd: @Joe, I don't!
	11:18am morphe': Electric Avenue = Berkeley, CA Electric Circus = St Marks Pl/late 1960s
	11:18am efd: @Joe, side note: Midge Ure is in fact Scottish! Not from Bristol!
	11:18am Joe McG: "We're On Our Way" or something like that, I think. Help, somebody! @efd: Ha ha ha!
	11:19am Roberto: Yellow Pearl is also available on one of Evan's premiums from some years back.
	11:20am 12539: "I'm going out of my way?" from Tranisent etc?
	11:20am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh wow, this Mac Blackout is really cool. I wasn't expecting this at all. Joe - are you familiar with Mac's glam band Mickey?
	11:20am Joe McG: @Sean: I didn't know that it was TOTP theme for a bit! Neato. @12539: Yes, I think that's it, thanks!
	11:21am morphe': Electric ave is also Brixton = the veg mkt and the arcade above the train tracks .. just hit me on the head ... squatted in Railton Rd for a wee bit.. then to Herne Hill
	11:21am Joe McG: @tim: No, but I'm curious!
	11:21am 12539: I find it hard to think of a song while listening to another.
	11:22am tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe - Look up Mickey performing on Chic-A-GoGo for the full experience. Satin jacket stompers to the max!
	11:24am annette: just had strange insignificant thought.. . WEDDING MARCH. why do folks have to march just before reciting vows ? my zen moment.
	11:25am Joe McG: Isn't this song "Yellow Pearl"?
	11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @annette We didn't. Decided to crawl on our hands and knees instead.
	11:25am morphe': Thanks Joe and all .. off to find food ... maybe... in foodless snow bound Madrid
	11:25am northguineahills: ears perk up like a german shepard Da Lab!
	11:26am Son Of Pantz: @tim Hey, my buddies Jumpsuit performed on that show. It looks like a blast.
	11:26am Krys O.: @Woods: It sounds even better than it reads. Click on the audio to listen. Chris is a mensch, by the way.
	11:26am 12539: This song sounds familiar...
	11:26am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:26am Joe McG: Thanks for thinking of it, 12539, it would drive me nuts.
	11:27am efd: I'm hearing more "It's All Too Much" than "Yellow Pearl," but that's just me.
	11:27am Joe McG: @efd: Oh yes indeed!
	11:27am KWilde: Radio on!
	11:27am Webhamster Henry: We had "It's All Too Much" on Wake 'n' Bake already today!
	11:27am annette: @ woods. ha ha. btw maine is forever beeootiful. miss it muchly
	11:28am Jason from Houston: My friend nailed it last week... "Stereolab is an EXCELLENT thing to listen to right now because the tunes are so balm but if you listen to the lyrics it doesn't count as escapism"
	11:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @annette: It is indeed. We were out gazing at the ocean from Acadia yesterday. It doesn't get much better than that.
	11:30am Mistr Rey: Great playlist listening live in Miami 🌴
	11:30am northguineahills: @Jason: Yep, the lyrics got me into my leftier politics, having empathy also helped. (I grew up in a Southern evangelical household).
	11:30am Pogo Eddie: Stereolab's "I'm Going Out of My Way" has a "Sister Ray" vibe. Works for me! Great show Joe!
	11:30am Joe McG: Heya, Miami Mistr!
	11:30am Mistr Rey: 👍
	11:31am northguineahills: Too bad the Alpha Band didn't stay around long enough for the Beta Band to play together. Is there a Kappa Band?
	11:31am djsheilab: Hey Joe! Been listening since the start, and wanted to say hello and that I loved the Allysen Callery track.
	11:31am Listening Out There: Good morning from out west....
	11:32am McGroovey: Well, there was Gamma.
	11:32am Steve from Dunwoody: love 45!
	11:32am northguineahills: @Jason: (stereolab also taught me francais).
	11:32am Mike Sin: Since the '80s, WFMU was always the place I went to for a little insanity and weirdness. It's either my age of the state of the world, but WFMU is now my oasis of sanity, stability, and "normalness."
	11:32am annette: @woods. loved pumping gas in rockland at 4 pm . dark as midnight. first time i saw real live starfish. and snowstorm on the ocean front.
	11:34am seedfriend: I just found out that Elvis C. wrote Veronica with sir. Paul McCartney. I felt weird

	11:37am Morgan: impeachy keen
	11:37am steveo: @mike sin: amen
	11:37am listener 126464: I have an Argybargy tour poster I took off a wall at Creations in West Orange.
	11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): Jumped off for a minute and I missed a When I Was Cruel track. Damn! That is a legitmately great record.
	11:37am Judy from croton: Mighty brilliant segue there, Mr Joe
	11:38am Krys O.: Oh, by the by, I had to deal with a bird that invaded the walls and ceilings of my attic apartment this weekend. At one point, it's little talons were sticking out of the vent in my bathroom light fixture. :(
	11:38am tim from champaign (now washington): @Mike Sin - Sanity through insanity.
	11:38am Joe McG: Couldn't resist that one, Judy!
	11:38am David (in London): Damnit, had to miss the groovily electrified Single File there. Hey Tim.
	11:38am swivs: By my math, 45 by EC & the Imposters is approx. 63% power and 37% pop, while If I Don't Love You by Squeeze is an even 75% pop and 25% power.
	11:39am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey DiL! Krys - that sounds stressful. Poor birdy.
	11:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Squeeze and the power pop!
	11:39am Brendan: Every Squeeze album is a greatest hits.
	11:39am Joe McG: I promised you power pop at the start, so must deliver!
	11:40am Morgan: @krys out? oh my god
	11:40am swivs: I only doubted you approx. 2%, Joe.
	11:40am Listening Out There: In Joe We Trust
	11:40am tim from champaign (now washington): This Shivvers sounds like an across the board #1 WFMU hit.
	11:40am annette: @ mike sin. you put it very well. im sure we couldnt agree more.
	11:41am Robbie Darling: Mondays you get two Joes for one! (McGasko and Belock)
	11:41am Morgan: did it build a nest in the wall
	11:41am Marley P. Dogg: Really great show today Joe!!! Thanks!!!
	11:41am Joe McG: @swivs: Ha ha!
	11:41am Son Of Pantz: @swivs what formula do you use to come up with these numbers?
	11:41am steveo: @krys how'd you get the bird out?
	11:42am tim from champaign (now washington): The Shivvers are from Milwaukee! I'm tellin' you guys, you can't beat the midwest when it comes to great music.
	11:42am seedfriend: @kyrs thanks for the hot tip. I’ll make it a zoom view cocktail event for my Elvis obsessed friend
	11:42am northguineahills: @Krys O: You had an ornithological Hitchcockian invasion!??? wowsers!

	11:44am tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe B - I wouldn't complain to the management if you followed the Krayolas up with another Shivvers track too.
	11:44am David (in London): Joe, can we also have some Red Krayola for the old krayola one-two..?

	11:48am Joe McG: Nice, Dennis! Hey, Joe, for a change I'm making a good transition to your show!
	11:49am steveo: the original spectrum was demolished ten years ago; i saw my first concert there, deep purple, by accident
	11:50am Krys O.: Unfortunately, the bird did not make it out. :( The situation was freaking my cats and me out. I also caught The Birds on TCM recently.
	11:50am tim from champaign (now washington): @steveo - How did you see Deep Purple on accident?
	11:50am βrian: If your gangsta lean is toward Irene: wfmu.org...
	11:52am Hams: joe, you are a radio rebel?
	11:52am steveo: @krys; alas @tim well, the phillies game was rained out so we bought some tickets to what we thought were a sixers playoff game very cheap, but it turned out the sixers were on the road :)
	11:52am Joe McG: @Hams: Of course! :)
	11:53am Hams: i dig it!
	11:53am northguineahills: @Krys: I once had a bird get into my apt (open window). I had to use a sheet w/ my partner to get it back to said window and finally got it out safely (luckily, no bird schiidt.)
	11:53am Krys O.: No Jona Lewie? JK, this has been a great show, Joe. Thanks!

	11:54am tim from champaign (now washington): @Steveo - Ha! did you figure out what happened when you noticed the spilled beer aroma was replaced with the scent of wacky tobacky?

	11:54am steveo: haha something like that yes
	11:54am David (in London): Thanks Joe. Great show today, as usual.

	9:29am Son Of Pantz: @JoeMcG It may sound corny but I believe loved ones we have lost visit us when we need them most. My mother visits me when I need some guidance, in my dreams.
	9:30am Penci: Wonderful set

	9:35am David (in London): McGasko, I'm melting into my keyboard here! I need to finish this Board report and I'm slowing to a stand-still now. Why I oughta...
	9:35am Joe McG: @RBR: Love that Rose thought it was Vashti! Cool kid! I probably have played Low at some point. I always liked them. I remember seeing them at a show and someone coughed and got dirty looks.
	9:35am Handy Haversack: Hey, Rache! Kate is also a big Low fan. Minnesota peeps stick together. Yo, Mariano!
	9:35am Webhamster Henry: DX7-y this Ana Roxane.
	9:36am morphe': Rachel - I was born in Bklyn 1961 -Sr Elizabeth Hospital (51st and 3rd) long gone ... and first grew up on 55th bet 3rd/4th.. Bklyn Kidz are super special - but do be wary - they become super sly and too smart for their own britches at times... Health and Happiness to you and the family
	9:36am bore: wish I had this at 4am last night
	9:36am David (in London): Yo Mariano.
	9:37am Joe McG: @bore: I was also awake at 4. Ugh.
	9:37am Andrew_in_WI: - - - Anyone read that article in the NYTIMES about poets and punctuation?
	9:38am morphe': David van der Stoke - when working for the NYC Board of Education - after long seniority - I used to wite NYC Bored of Education on official docs (bored with Admin, not the students) ... sounds like you are writing a Bored Report....
	9:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, surface dwellers making noise. Similar to the Led Zeppelin "ZOSO" album, will that song become known as "Three Hyphens"?
	9:40am donpappy: This all lands right this morning. Thanks, Joe.
	9:40am Handy Haversack: Maybe it's "o" in Morse code, Ken?
	9:41am morphe': Andrew_> have you read - EATS SHOOTS AND LEAVES
	9:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Andrew_in_WI: What section is it in? I couldn't find it.

	9:42am morphe': Woodson... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/29/books/review/on-poetry-punctuation.html
	9:42am Ken From Hyde Park: (En Dash)³
	9:43am David (in London): morphester, you were the Chairman of the Bored. To be fair this report is OK, but Joe's lullaby set is stupefying me. I think I need to walk around the block and let the cold air wake me up.
	9:43am Phillippe Bastille: Great opening set, Joe. Hi everyone!
	9:43am Hubig Pie: Pastoral Monday mornin' sounds. I likey
	9:43am Andrew_in_WI: @Woods I think it was in last Sundays edition... can't recall the section, but possibly the book review?

	9:46am steveo: @karl the best kind
	9:46am Hubig Pie: Wotcha David. Me china plate mate
	9:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Andrew in WI: Interesting. My pet peeve in modern poetry is the $50 word....I know I can use it to expand my vocabulary but I find it really annoying when words get dropped in that are not a part of %99.999 percent of the general public.
	9:47am morphe': Used to teach the significance of punctuation to my classes with the following when they complained about me asking for correct puntuation and how "it did not matter." a) = [incorrect] A woman without her man is nothing. b) = [correct] A woman, without her, man is nothing.
	9:49am Handy Haversack: Woods, when a poem uses a $50 word, ask for change.
	9:49am annette: @son pants, i agree. all continue to guide us.
	9:49am Ken From Hyde Park: Like these folks, morphe'? letseatgrandma.bandcamp.com
	9:50am Rick from SC: a belated good morning to Joe and all good folks enjoying this calming set

	9:51am Handy Haversack: See, from the URL, I was anticipating Let Seat GR and MA.
	9:52am annette: lets kill grandma. punctuation needed. dont ya hate overpaid commentators who have no idea of what a punctuation mark is, and then your head has to autocorrect.
	9:53am Roberto: The musical Hadestown is all about Persephone and shizz.
	9:53am Webhamster Henry: Fans of Persephone will lovvve Lore Olympus. www.webtoons.com...
	9:53am adampsyche: not gonna lie, checking my wrist for a pulse, but i'm very ok with it.
	9:53am Rich in Bristol: Please can we have a "Scoobie Doobie Doobie" show some time? Joe plays songs with only punctuation in the title and guesses what they are supposed to stand for.
	9:54am Handy Haversack: Here's an excerpt from an index I'm proofing. Webhamster H, I bet you can guess which book it's from! Wernicke’s area, 181, 181 West Africa syncopation, 111–13, 120 WFMU (radio station), 122 whales, 16, 31, 203, 228–29, 248
	9:54am Sam: Tempo is just perfect this morning. Great show
	9:56am Joe McG: @Rich: ha ha @Sam: Who's that movie character that says "Tempo, tempo!"?
	9:56am David (in London): Is it 'A Beat Revolution on the High Seas: The Handy Haversack Story'?
	9:58am steveo: i think the number of performers here is not a coincidence
	9:58am Joe McG: @David: Must be!
	9:59am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe Captain Hook says it a couple of times in the 1954 Peter Pan :D

	10:01am Rachel Bo Bachel: Was that what you were thinking of Joe, really? Yay!
	10:01am karlward: Woods: Long past the hills of amamnesis / There you find the amanuensis / Perspicacious at his task / Ledgerist of dreams
	10:02am mariano: Handy: I'm sure you've seen the lists of unfortunate URLs like The Pen Is Mightier, Experts' Exchange, Power Gen Italia, Mole Station Nursery, etc.
	10:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @karlward I would like $49.99 in change please.
	10:02am steveo: handy, is "181, 181" your house style? i cant recall seeing r epititions like that
	10:03am David (in London): Hey fionnland. Any less dreich now, or still horrid?
	10:03am Handy Haversack: @WHH: definitely! steveo, italics don't translate to the comments board. One entry refers to text, one to a figure.
	10:04am steveo: aHA
	10:04am karlward: Woods: These words are indiscrete / Inviolate / No change
	10:04am fionnland: Worse, probably! But the good music and coffee is brightening the mood!
	10:05am Ken From Hyde Park: @mariano - Don't forget uncleandytoys, the dude from Seven Second Delay.
	10:05am karlward: If they knew how I was going to use it, they never would have given me that English degree.
	10:07am Joe McG: @karl: Ha ha!
	10:08am Handy Haversack: karlward, the perfect crime!
	10:09am mariano: Didn't know that one, KenFHP, good one.
	10:11am Joe McG: Oh, I forgot to tell everybody: I have a special thematic Single File today at 10:30.
	10:11am eric from lake hiawatha: Had to stop and listen to Les McCann. Transported to a dinner a long time ago. You nailed this morning
	10:12am Joe McG: @eric: Ah, nice. Music is by far the best mode of transport.
	10:13am Joe McG: OK, I'm starting to wake up now!
	10:13am BnowB OnSomeShit: Stevie Wonder.. I love you!
	10:13am steveo: still cloudy though
	10:15am BnowB OnSomeShit: this song SUNNY is a highlight for me :) these versions are sooo good <3
	10:15am waters7: Wow, this Les McCann is bringing me out of my Monday mood
	10:16am Joe McG: Oh good! "Sunny" did it for me, too!
	10:16am Ike: Greetings, humans! Sounds good!
	10:16am yerfriendpaul: Is ok if I scat along to this, like George Benson?
	10:17am BnowB OnSomeShit: Ive put "sunny" on so many times in life when I am sad. "the songs that saved my life"
	10:17am Rich in Bristol: Hot 8 Brass Band are so interesting. They are a cover band and yet their sound is so instantly recognisably theirs.
	10:17am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if Mary Wing has done "Sunny" for a Three of a Kind segment before. I'll bet it would be delightful.
	10:17am Joe McG: @yfp: Scatting encouraged!
	10:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): OK, I'm ready for the medley of heavy metal now.
	10:18am mariano: Hot 8! Damnit, now I'm gonna have to have a slice of king cake for breakfast...
	10:18am Webhamster Henry: You really need three hours of Sunny. You can mix in a little "Stormy" and "Cloudy" too.
	10:18am Handy Haversack: Joe's really twisting your arm, eh, Mariano?
	10:18am steveo: @kfhp, nope, but she did play a song with that title by Cher in 2011
	10:18am morphe': In Spain, they teach English (text books) using contractions. I tried to explain that written language and vernacular are different and the students (my son included) should learn Standard Written English and practice speaking with vernacular ... Deaf Ears ... I am not a stuffed shirthead .. I speak Brooklyn but I can write a decent letter if so required.. Spain has a National curriculum - the use CAMBRIDGE texts - idiots - nothing to do with Cambridge U (not that that matters either)- just a Public Domain Name = Webster's Dictionary, etc....
	10:19am Joe McG: @Henry: "Sunny" is actually not a bad choice for one of my Joy in Repetition shows!
	10:19am David (in London): Ken, it would be 68OAK probably. Mariano - Cake for breakfast is a champion way to start the day.
	10:19am D Rok (in brooklyn): I have never heard a version of Sunny I haven't liked. It's such a good tune.
	10:20am mariano: Handy, enough. I've obviously been pushed beyond what any man can be reasonably expected to bear. This is on you, Joe McG! David: Sometimes a man has to step up...
	10:20am steveo: could someone buy me a tuba?
	10:20am Webhamster Henry: @Joe I rely on WFMU DJs to do my shows for me.
	10:21am Derek in Atlantic City: “Who hurt you, Lionel?”
	10:22am northguineahills: I concur w/ the Sunny assessments. A good parody look of American society w/o digging too deep...
	10:22am Handy Haversack: Nothing that reasonable members of society demand as their rights! No fridges, no televisions, no pralines!
	10:23am Handy Haversack: steveo, to truly unlock the magic, you have to carve it yourself, out of a larger tuba ...
	10:23am morphe': I had a girlfriend - Sunny - for 10 years on and off .. we were a funny//odd match/mismatch === I hike with no food no extra clothes and no tent and she got her nails done (all 20) everyweek ... Sadly, in the end, I gave her dark clouds...
	10:23am steveo: haha; you are very wise, Handy
	10:24am Son Of Pantz: Groovy
	10:25am Threemoons: Oooh LOVE the hard shift to Simple Minds!
	10:26am mariano: morphe' = Oof. As someone who's taught English to Spanish speakers, that would drive me up the wall. How can anyone first learning a language presume to contradict a native speaker? Some Germans I knew when I was in Berlin would misconjugate and say things like "I didn't knew" (obviously translating literally from German). So I had to correct them. And when their friends tried to prevent me from performing my duty, I corrected them as well.
	10:27am fionnland: Loved the whole of this set! Ta, Joe
	10:27am mariano: morphe': Woah, you had a girlfriend with 20 nails? 'Scuse me, Hollywood!
	10:27am Joe McG: Ta, fionnland!
	10:27am Hubig Pie: If you carve down a tuba, you gets an Euphonium
	10:28am Handy Haversack: They call him the Corrector! Mariano, I am glad that you and Frodo are still happy together!
	10:28am Son Of Pantz: Cruisin' the Mall. Picking up chicks. Orange Julius and Aqua Net.
	10:28am Krys O.: 10 fingers + 10 toes = 20
	10:29am mariano: Krys O: Was kidding :)
	10:30am mariano: I've yet to have a girlfriend with all her nails.
	10:30am steveo: all my girlfriends are missing several toes
	10:30am Krys O.: HA, mariano!
	10:34am northguineahills: @mariano: as I always mention, vocabulary is my strong suit, grammar, english, spanish, and other languages, escapes me).
	10:34am mariano: Handy: I'm a trained New Orleanian, reduced to the status of a bum!
	10:35am steveo: my father always told me, if she has all her body parts, marry her
	10:35am βrian: No grammar, no glamour, Ms. Ackerman would tell me.
	10:36am Cal Zone!: It's either an Electric, Playground, or Orchestra theme, am I right? Do I win?
	10:36am Handy Haversack: "His girlfriend gave up her toe!" -- Flea
	10:36am johnk77: promised you a miracle a crowd favorite of simple minds live shows in the 80s the crews secret name for their band=pimply behinds
	10:37am KWilde: I always considered Apache a surf tune
	10:37am Threemoons: @Son of Pantz--I have vague memories of Aqua Net...and IIRC the very last orange julius place that I ever vaguely remember seeing as a wee one was at the Bergen Mall in NJ a few doors down from the Swiss Colony. I was maybe 5 and we had just picked up a TelStar video game console for the house...
	10:37am morphe': Toenails... rue story .. when Simon's ma was pregnant with Lovely Simon and turned into hormonal monsters ... she made me so nervious: I could not eat, my body rattled incontrollable as her voice rose and the 2nd toe (next to the big toe) on each foot spontaneously lost their nails ... they have never quite recovered .. hurt/ache now in the cold wet Madrid snow ... always think it is/will be diabities or gangrene ... That is a true story ... I can at time engage in goofy hyperbole ... but that is true.... they are aching now(since 9 years) as I contemplate visiting the supermarket to see if any food has mades its way into snow bound Madrid .. not taking any 45s to the street ... just a club to ward off the hoarder zombies..
	10:37am Brian in UK: The Shads called me in from the washing up.
	10:37am Colleen: Always sooo good Joe!!
	10:37am Joe McG: @Cal Zone!: Good guess! @johnk77: Hilarious! I'll never announce them in a different way again.
	10:38am Andrew_in_WI: @Joe McG Have you always had a Monday morning show? For some reason I could see you doing a Sunday afternoon show...
	10:39am adampsyche: nice clapping, i have the liz berg clap off compilation cd in my car
	10:39am Joe McG: @Andrew: No, I started off on Tuesdays, went to late night Saturdays, then Sat. morning, then Thursday monring. I've been here for a bit, though! @adam: I miss Liz Berg so much!!
	10:39am Son Of Pantz: @Threemoons when the Orange Julius was replaced with a Subway at my favorite mall, I knew it was all down hill from there.
	10:39am Handy Haversack: Electrifying set so far!
	10:39am BnowB OnSomeShit: The electric express had me dancing and sliding around wood floors in my socks. Monday funday.
	10:40am ?: go Joe! hey all - gonna be jumping in and out today. have a ball!
	10:40am Dennis Diken: oops - go Joe! hey all - gonna be jumping in and out today. have a ball!
	10:41am Joe McG: You jump, DD! @Handy: Ha ha!
	10:41am morphe': Rue story = True Story: ON RAGALIN ROAD (Patrick Kavanaugh poem/Luke Kelly sung it best) for after Joe's show) "On Raglan Road of an autumn day I saw her first and knew That her dark hair would weave a snare That I might one day rue ....
	10:44am Son Of Pantz: Oh brother...
	10:44am Webhamster Henry: Did Capt. Beefheart cut a single of "Electricity"?
	10:45am Joe McG: I'm told the Electric Banana is the Pretty Things making some dough.
	10:45am G: Electric FTW
	10:46am karlward: These electric guitars aren't going to play themselves
	10:46am The Oscar: I was just gonna say, I think the Electric Banana is the Pretty Things' nom-de-library-music! They can be heard doing a dumb little country parody on the Dawn of the Dead soundtrack, among others.
	10:48am Spankyflop: I saw Electric Guitars open for Peter Gabriel at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. They didn't go over very well with the prog fans in attendence.
	10:48am mariano: morphe' = I'll always remember with great fondness the Irish girl who introduced me to Kavanagh's poems.
	10:49am Cal Zone!: This set is shocking!!!!! Sorry.
	10:49am Joe McG: @Spankyflop: Wow, it's hard to imagine a band like that playing such a big place! They must have gotten good management. @Cal: Ha ha
	10:50am steveo: i wonder if any current songs will fit this theme
	10:50am Brian in UK: Joe, cannot imagine the Pretty Things made much money!
	10:50am weiterso: hey Oliver, fantastic!
	10:51am yerfriendpaul: Hoping Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem make an appearance!
	10:51am Kramrellim: Peter Gabriel hand picked Electric Guitars to open for him on that tour. They went over better at the Capital in Passaic.
	10:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have a grandkid named Oliver. He's gonna get a kick outa that one!
	10:51am Spankyflop: I remember liking them. I was only about 14 years old. My older brother took me. I've tried looking them up, but they don't have a very SEO-friendly name.
	10:52am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha, I'm sure you're right! @yfp: I WISH I had an Electric Mayhem 45!!
	10:52am Threemoons: @Son of Pantz I agree...and I have somewhat winsome memories of Swiss Colony. My Dad, may he rest in peace, LOVED the catalogs for some reason. The entire brand was a giant conceit in 20/20 hindsight--faux "European" style cheeses and meat so over-processed that it could survive a year at room temperature--paired with sticky-oversweet fudges and chocolates, all delivered in tiered beribboned stacks of gilded boxes. Still, the contents delighted my kindergarten-aged self back then, and I still remember the giant mouse dressed in Xmas reds handing out cheese samples outside of the shop, as we waded through the holiday shoppers past the Orange Julius place. We may or may not have stopped at Friendly's on the way home.
	10:53am yerfriendpaul: Joe - they should've put out "Can you Picture that?". That tune rocks!
	10:54am Joe McG: If I only had a record company....!
	10:54am Spankyflop: It was on the Security Tour, I think Gabriel may have hand-picked them. I remember him introducing them, and telling the audience to be kind.
	10:54am morphe': Mariano - if ya get back to Dublin, there is a statue of Kavanaugh on the bank of the Grand Canal (Southside) near Portobello Bridge ... punks/mods often paint his shoes to look like Docs or those Suede Mod shoes.. https://statues.vanderkrogt.net/object.php?webpage=ST&record=ie065
	10:54am Spankyflop: The singer played a metal trash can with a broom stick.
	10:55am Son Of Pantz: Now I remember Swiss Colony. My teenage self survived on those free samples. I'm sure the employees were onto us returning 3 or 4 times for more, but weren't paid enough to care.
	10:56am Listener Alexandra: Howdy, Joe!
	10:56am Rick from SC: I'm amazed at the recall of old Peter Gabriel concerts. All I can remember is PG falling backwards into the crowd and everyone, including me, rubbing his very short hair cut. I think this was somewhere down the Jersey shore.
	10:56am mariano: morphe' = Unfortunately, aside from the Dublin airport on a layover, I've never been to Ireland. My introduction to Kavanagh was in Westport, CT of all places. She was visiting a mutual friend.
	10:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and everybody! Joe - be careful! This electric surge could cause a blackout!
	10:57am Cal Zone!: I was hoping for some Prunes. For my $ this is the better single than 'Too Much To Dream...'
	10:57am Son Of Pantz: I seem to remember a port wine cheese that I was very fond of.
	10:57am Joe McG: @Rick: He just reissued a bunch of his live albums on vinyl and the ad shows him doing the fall into the crowd.
	10:58am Rick from SC: Thanks, Joe. I'll have to check it out.
	10:58am Robbie Darling: Morning Joe!
	10:58am Handy Haversack: I saw that statue, morph! Also, we watched the Crock of Gold documentary on MacGowan through the WFMU on Demand on Friday. Well worth it.
	10:59am Threemoons: Loving this set. Is it 1972 yet?
	10:59am karlward: Wait is this Three Chord Monte?
	10:59am MplsCoco: Good morning Joe! Delightful show! Happy Monday.
	10:59am weiterso: there's a lot of AC/DC in these tracks
	11:00am karlward: Three Chord Noise / Surface Monte
	11:00am Joe McG: @Threemoons: We're all the way up to the Bicentennial! Hey, Coco! :) Hey, Robbie!
	11:00am Threemoons: @Son of Pantz by the time I had a job as a teen in my local mall, Swiss Colony had been supplanted by Fannie Farmer Chocolates. The cool kid with the New Wave Haircut who also worked my shift--the one who would paste up Zippy the Pinhead comics in the restroom--used to refer to it as "Farmer's Fanny" and would always crib samples from there all day long...
	11:00am pgalub: JUDAS!
	11:01am p/b: ELO, wow listen to you. I remember when this album was all over the radio whatever summer that was. So many braincells blown to hell. Love it
	11:01am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Love the crunchy chords.
	11:01am Joe McG: @pg: Ha ha
	11:01am Chop Scott: Hey Joe!
	11:01am karlward: I remember air drumming to this song as a kid while my brother air guitared. This song never gets old.
	11:02am Krys O.: Chris Butler of Tin Huey and the Waitresses had a screed about Do Ya: futurefossilmusic.com...
	11:02am Niko, Copenhagen: Greetings from Denmark.
	11:02am morphe': SpankyFlop - my instrument's sister - mine = old Lower East side stoves/ovens or a fridge if necessary with a hammer in TSQ before the police... ps all .. a lot of free concerts everyday!!! in Tompkins Sq Pk .. The best of all is PINC To Repeat = Find PINC in TSQ or St marks church 10th-2nd: https://thevillagesun.com/a-rockin-halloween-in-tompkins-square-park
	11:03am Webhamster Henry: ELO can sure fill up a disc.
	11:05am Spankyflop: @Rick - He fell back at that show and lost his headset mic. A few songs later someone in the audience gave it back.
	11:05am Handy Haversack: Total earworm, too, that ELO tune.
	11:06am Niko, Copenhagen: A theme today has been “songs that r somehow a little too long”... Like it!
	11:07am Rick from SC: @spankyflop, do you remember the venue?
	11:07am Ike: Yep, indeed, I was wondering where "Electric Avenue" was! Thanks for pre-emptively addressing that!
	11:08am fionnland: Electric Guitars are Bristolian - we cannae claim 'em.
	11:08am Hubig Pie: Spinal Tap played at the Electric Banana
	11:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: Holy smokes, that's some ranting right there!
	11:13am morphe': ps Pinc TSQ: for aftyer JOE!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKaAMGIH1eY Pss ... PINC = F Train Vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6JYzAS05DA
	11:13am Joe McG: Ah, thanks, fionnland. Usually when I get someone's location wrong, they're from Bristol. I'm going to start saying everyone is from Bristol!
	11:14am Handy Haversack: Gah, I gotta get out there and walk around. The day is already disappearing!
	11:14am Roberto: Techno Lizzy!
	11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): Whoa - I'd say this fits Phil Lynott well. I wonder if Neil was paying attention to this when considering Trans?
	11:15am Roberto: Handy, I'm taking my daily walk up to the roof right now!
	11:15am morphe': Phil Lynott - there is also a Phil Lynott statue in Dublin: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/phil-lynott-statue Molly Malone too...
	11:16am efd: This Phil Lynott (featuring Midge Ure) song is a longtime fave of mine!
	11:16am Joe McG: There's a Stereolab tune that lifts the synth riff from that song.
	11:16am Joe McG: @efd: Do you know what Stereolab song that is?
	11:17am Sean from Dublin Ireland: Hey Joe! Yellow Pearl by the great Dubliner Phil Lynott. This brings back memories. It was also the theme music to the legendary Top of the Pops on the BBC for a couple of years during the early 80's
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Dog, book, and I will be hitting the bridge as soon as I get the ol' Vegetarian Shoes paratrooper boots laced up. Thanks, Joe! It's been another really wonderful time with you. Very much appreciated. Be well, Surfactants. Hope to see you at the Next Joe Up's!
	11:17am efd: @Joe, I don't!
	11:18am morphe': Electric Avenue = Berkeley, CA Electric Circus = St Marks Pl/late 1960s
	11:18am efd: @Joe, side note: Midge Ure is in fact Scottish! Not from Bristol!
	11:18am Joe McG: "We're On Our Way" or something like that, I think. Help, somebody! @efd: Ha ha ha!
	11:19am Roberto: Yellow Pearl is also available on one of Evan's premiums from some years back.
	11:20am 12539: "I'm going out of my way?" from Tranisent etc?
	11:20am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh wow, this Mac Blackout is really cool. I wasn't expecting this at all. Joe - are you familiar with Mac's glam band Mickey?
	11:20am Joe McG: @Sean: I didn't know that it was TOTP theme for a bit! Neato. @12539: Yes, I think that's it, thanks!
	11:21am morphe': Electric ave is also Brixton = the veg mkt and the arcade above the train tracks .. just hit me on the head ... squatted in Railton Rd for a wee bit.. then to Herne Hill
	11:21am Joe McG: @tim: No, but I'm curious!
	11:21am 12539: I find it hard to think of a song while listening to another.
	11:22am tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe - Look up Mickey performing on Chic-A-GoGo for the full experience. Satin jacket stompers to the max!
	11:24am annette: just had strange insignificant thought.. . WEDDING MARCH. why do folks have to march just before reciting vows ? my zen moment.
	11:25am Joe McG: Isn't this song "Yellow Pearl"?
	11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @annette We didn't. Decided to crawl on our hands and knees instead.
	11:25am morphe': Thanks Joe and all .. off to find food ... maybe... in foodless snow bound Madrid
	11:25am northguineahills: ears perk up like a german shepard Da Lab!
	11:26am Son Of Pantz: @tim Hey, my buddies Jumpsuit performed on that show. It looks like a blast.
	11:26am Krys O.: @Woods: It sounds even better than it reads. Click on the audio to listen. Chris is a mensch, by the way.
	11:26am 12539: This song sounds familiar...
	11:26am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:26am Joe McG: Thanks for thinking of it, 12539, it would drive me nuts.
	11:27am efd: I'm hearing more "It's All Too Much" than "Yellow Pearl," but that's just me.
	11:27am Joe McG: @efd: Oh yes indeed!
	11:27am KWilde: Radio on!
	11:27am Webhamster Henry: We had "It's All Too Much" on Wake 'n' Bake already today!
	11:27am annette: @ woods. ha ha. btw maine is forever beeootiful. miss it muchly
	11:28am Jason from Houston: My friend nailed it last week... "Stereolab is an EXCELLENT thing to listen to right now because the tunes are so balm but if you listen to the lyrics it doesn't count as escapism"
	11:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @annette: It is indeed. We were out gazing at the ocean from Acadia yesterday. It doesn't get much better than that.
	11:30am Mistr Rey: Great playlist listening live in Miami 🌴
	11:30am northguineahills: @Jason: Yep, the lyrics got me into my leftier politics, having empathy also helped. (I grew up in a Southern evangelical household).
	11:30am Pogo Eddie: Stereolab's "I'm Going Out of My Way" has a "Sister Ray" vibe. Works for me! Great show Joe!
	11:30am Joe McG: Heya, Miami Mistr!
	11:30am Mistr Rey: 👍
	11:31am northguineahills: Too bad the Alpha Band didn't stay around long enough for the Beta Band to play together. Is there a Kappa Band?

	11:32am northguineahills: @Jason: (stereolab also taught me francais).
	11:32am Mike Sin: Since the '80s, WFMU was always the place I went to for a little insanity and weirdness. It's either my age of the state of the world, but WFMU is now my oasis of sanity, stability, and "normalness."
	11:32am annette: @woods. loved pumping gas in rockland at 4 pm . dark as midnight. first time i saw real live starfish. and snowstorm on the ocean front.

	11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): Jumped off for a minute and I missed a When I Was Cruel track. Damn! That is a legitmately great record.
	11:37am Judy from croton: Mighty brilliant segue there, Mr Joe
	11:38am Krys O.: Oh, by the by, I had to deal with a bird that invaded the walls and ceilings of my attic apartment this weekend. At one point, it's little talons were sticking out of the vent in my bathroom light fixture. :(
	11:38am tim from champaign (now washington): @Mike Sin - Sanity through insanity.
	11:38am Joe McG: Couldn't resist that one, Judy!
	11:38am David (in London): Damnit, had to miss the groovily electrified Single File there. Hey Tim.
	11:38am swivs: By my math, 45 by EC & the Imposters is approx. 63% power and 37% pop, while If I Don't Love You by Squeeze is an even 75% pop and 25% power.
	11:39am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey DiL! Krys - that sounds stressful. Poor birdy.
	11:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Squeeze and the power pop!
	11:39am Brendan: Every Squeeze album is a greatest hits.
	11:39am Joe McG: I promised you power pop at the start, so must deliver!

	11:40am swivs: I only doubted you approx. 2%, Joe.
	11:40am Listening Out There: In Joe We Trust
	11:40am tim from champaign (now washington): This Shivvers sounds like an across the board #1 WFMU hit.
	11:40am annette: @ mike sin. you put it very well. im sure we couldnt agree more.
	11:41am Robbie Darling: Mondays you get two Joes for one! (McGasko and Belock)

	11:41am steveo: @krys how'd you get the bird out?
	11:42am tim from champaign (now washington): The Shivvers are from Milwaukee! I'm tellin' you guys, you can't beat the midwest when it comes to great music.

	11:48am Joe McG: Nice, Dennis! Hey, Joe, for a change I'm making a good transition to your show!
	11:49am steveo: the original spectrum was demolished ten years ago; i saw my first concert there, deep purple, by accident
	11:50am Krys O.: Unfortunately, the bird did not make it out. :( The situation was freaking my cats and me out. I also caught The Birds on TCM recently.

	11:52am Hams: joe, you are a radio rebel?
	11:52am steveo: @krys; alas @tim well, the phillies game was rained out so we bought some tickets to what we thought were a sixers playoff game very cheap, but it turned out the sixers were on the road :)
	11:52am Joe McG: @Hams: Of course! :)
	11:53am Hams: i dig it!
	11:53am northguineahills: @Krys: I once had a bird get into my apt (open window). I had to use a sheet w/ my partner to get it back to said window and finally got it out safely (luckily, no bird schiidt.)
