Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 9:00am 12539: Yip yop a yeedle yop!
	🎸 ♥ 9:00am Handy Haversack: Welcome back, Joe! Missed you and the Yips. Glad to be here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:01am Strandlund: Welcome Back Mr. McGasko!! YIP YIP YIP!!!
	9:01am Tinley Park Randy: Hmmmm. 1996 Oklahoma City bombing. Kind of a big deal.
	♥ 9:02am fred: Good morning Joe and Yipsters
	🎸 ♥ 9:02am Threemoons: Gooood morning Joe McG, fellow YipYips.....
	9:02am Malcolm: ello ello ello
	9:02am Rick A: Welcome back, Joe! I'm ready for some true noise from the surface though I have to work in a few minutes, unfortunately.
	🎸 ♥ 9:03am Marley P. Dogg: Yippity do dah, yippity day! Good morning everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Welcome back, Joe! Abbie from Mars was fun, but glad the Yips are here again.
	9:05am Hope Chernov: One of my favorite movies and soundtracks - thank you Joe!
	♥ 9:06am fred: I probably told that before, but when one day one of my many bosses (a noise musician) was on a road trip and lost the signal on the car's radio. While looking for another frequency, he got interference and his then 6 year old daughter exclaimed "it's daddy's music!"
	9:06am djsheilab: Happy to have you back on this beautiful Monday morning, Joe!
	9:06am Rick A: Cool, you are beginning with some film music. This is a great score though the film is okay. Yared scored Beineix's previous film "The Moon in the Gutter" too. Beineix stopped making films many years ago, sadly. Diva is one of my favorite films from the 80s and it was shown at BAM a couple of years ago with Neon Indian, introducing, great night.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07am Threemoons: @Fred that's awesome! Reminds me of the live F.M. Einheit show I saw in the LES a gazillion years and 40 lbs ago.....
	♥ 9:07am Krys O.: Greetings!
	🎸 ♥ 9:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Diva!! My absolute favorite movie. Oh, hey everybody. Actually down in NH this week. 2nd Pfizer shot coming this Saturday. Woo!
	♥ 9:07am Krys O.: Oh, Diva was a wonderful film....swoon.
	9:07am Brendan: Oh those lovable space aliens. I wonder if that was a Mexican radio radio radio that they were listening to.
	♥ 9:08am JG: Can somebody fill me in? The music is familiar, but what movie are we talking about?
	🎸 ♥ 9:08am Handy Haversack: Congrats, Woods! Never seen Diva, I think.
	9:08am Rick A: Diva is one of my favorite scores too. The La Wally aria is exhilarating.
	🎸 ♥ 9:08am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy. Highly recommended. Just avoid the one dubbed in English. Terrible.
	♥ 9:09am TonyR: Perfect for my Monday morning hangover. My WFH boss thanks you.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am Threemoons: I've never seen Diva even though I have been meaning to since it came out. I remember seeing ads for it in the Village Voice along with screenings of Liquid Sky, Eating Raul, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show.....
	♥ 9:10am Krys O.: @Woods: I often imagine that folks are listening to accordion music on their ear buds because of Diva ;). Good luck on jab #2.
	♥ 9:10am TonyR: Is this an anniversary of OKC?
	9:10am Stillwell Coney Islander: I Love Diva, watched it many times !
	♥ 9:10am TDK60: Good morning DJ Joe.
	♥ 9:11am Krys O.: @Threemoons: Loved the first two on your list: Liquid Sky and Eating Raoul. The latter because of Mary Woronov especially.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: Yeah, that man played an incredible villain!
	♥ 9:11am Joe McG: Bonjour, mes amis. Happy to be back today! It felt weird not to be here on a Monday morning last week.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am Son Of Pantz: I got my 2nd dose of Pfizer last tuesday and it took me out for 24 + hours. Worst flu symptoms I've ever had, but I'm glad it's over with.
	♥ 9:11am TonyR: Felt weird to not have you!
	♥ 9:12am Krys O.: @Woods: Dominique Pinon was great in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's films like Delicatessen and City of Lost Children.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am 12539: I'm not sure last week even had a Monday (although Abbie was a good fill-in choice).
	♥ 9:12am TonyR: "My yips! Where are my Yips?!!"
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Speaking of movies, we re-watched Babette's Feast this weekend. Man, better than I remembered. It sits right on the (mental) shelf with Big Night for lovely food-infused movies.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: I will have to check them out.
	♥ 9:14am p/b: GM FMuall and always love you Joe. Let's keep it together miracles everywhere yes right there in the mirror light love and in it together
	9:14am wizard frog: @WoodsofNH saw that earlier this year first time - yes great movie!
	♥ 9:14am Phillippe: good morning
	♥ 9:14am TDK60: I'm glad you're okay now, Son of Pantz.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Was it Neil Innes that did a take on French songs?
	♥ 9:16am Krys O.: @Woods: One more film for the epicurean list: The 100 Foot Journey by Lasse Halmstrom with Helen Mirren and Om Puri.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: I have taken the show outside. Brooklyn sunshine and some robin noise. I should fill the feeders now so as to get some company while I'm back here.
	♥ 9:17am fred: @Threemoons: more fun facts about that boss: his daughter heard some of the rockabye baby records when little (on my recommendation), and the guy once played live on WFMU
	🎸 ♥ 9:17am Brian in UK: Joe, it was strange from this side of the radio too. Must be 2/3 years since you took a day off.
	♥ 9:17am Krys O.: Neil Innes did Love is Getting Deeper from Innes Book of Records: youtu.be...
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Nice to see that the skeleton crew is getting some relief at last. Toiling away each day for over a year already. If there's a GoFundMe for a day spa event for the crew, I'd donate to that!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am Brian in UK: Krys O, that is it, well remembered.
	9:19am Niko, Copenhagen: What are U playing at today McGasko? Just tuned in....
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: (Happy Monday, Sheila!)
	9:20am G from Tarrytown: This is set is bringing me back to my 20s when I was way into soundtracks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am Threemoons: @fred that's pretty cool!
	9:20am Niko, Copenhagen: French movies!? Tres Piquanté
	♥ 9:21am Krys O.: @Brian in UK: I'm a Bonzo/Neil Innes fan. Saw him play live twice and even met him. Sweet fellow.
	9:21am Niko, Copenhagen: Ooh la la. C'est Tout Thielemangues? Pour la harmonica?
	🎸 ♥ 9:22am Threemoons: @Son of Pantz congrats on getting fully vaxxed--yeah, you kind of WANT a "robust immune response"--my 2nd Moderna knocked me on my lala pretty hard also.
	9:22am Niko, Copenhagen: Love that Betty Blue theme. Damn it's fine...
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am melinda: I love movie music Mondays!
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am Handy Haversack: SoP: I had a 36-hour, 101F fever from it, too. Weirdly reassuring. Congrats! Ahhh, here come the sparrows. And some visitor I didn't recognize. Gotta go get the field guide.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am Matt Fiveash: This music takes me back. Seeing Betty Blue in the theater as an angsty teen dovetailed perfectly with my burgeoning interest in tequila, cigarettes, and beautiful, disturbed women. Welcome back Joe!
	9:25am djsheilab: Brilliant set! Feeling this mood big time!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25am radioronan: Some of my fave soundtracks..how appropo on a crazed Monday morn..thanks Joe..
	♥ 9:26am Joe McG: @Matt: Very well put, as always! (Don't forget eating chili out of a pot.)
	♥ 9:26am Rich in Washington: i know that this is a distinctly different rendition, but I am conditioned to think that Tony Coulter's show is starting now.
	9:27am Niko, Copenhagen: Let me explain why Joe is great. An artist in his field: He does not get in the way of the music. He makes himself available. He becomes a medium. He is a master. Master DJ!
	♥ 9:29am JG: @ Niko, yes I think you're right. And this show is always great
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am luka: glad you’re OK, Joe!!
	9:31am MplsCoco: Glad it wasn't the "big bug!" Sorry Joe! ❤️
	🎸 ♥ 9:31am Marley P. Dogg: Hope you are feeling better Joe!
	9:31am BNowB.: Yea the flu is very rare right now. I'm really glad you are ok.
	♥ 9:32am PaulRobeson1920: Good morning WFMU land! <3 sounding good DJ Joe! Glad yer back and getting better
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am Dano59: Zees man, he ees not Fronch!
	9:33am TerrDE: has anyone seen both Vanilla Skys ? Although a shot for shot remake of the first, the Cruise version is much better.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am The Oscar: Mornin'! Love me a good soundtrack set.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am Dano59: Beineix is amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, blergh! Time off from skeleton duty because of cold and flu is not a great trade-off. Good health to you, Joe!
	♥ 9:34am Acid Cazh: Aww, sorry you got sick Joe! The most likely way it happened? Surfaces. Cold and flu can be passed on surfaces, unlike COVID (which is almost always passed by aerosolized particulates that the virus clings to). We're taking ALL kinds of precautions against breathing each other's air, but less precaution with surfaces (since it came to light that COVID is almost never communicated that way). Moral of the story: Wash yer hands, kids. ;)
	9:35am Crystal: Good Morning Joe :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am Dano59: agree TerreD, there is one shot in common, with Ms. Cruz. The scripts/dialogue flow about the same. Crowe called VS a "remix" of Abre Los Ojos.
	♥ 9:35am Acid Cazh: The #1 most effective treatment for flu is a TON of sleep. Whiskey is a great analgesic against aches and pains, take some tylenol for the fever, then take some Benadryl to sleeeeeeeeep. Good luck!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am Handy Haversack: A year without a cold has been pretty great. Maybe not worth the trade-offs, of course, but still.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am melinda: I have the Tindersticks film score box set, it's very good.
	♥ 9:37am Doug in JC: Don't mix alcohol and tylenol!
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am Dano59: rasputeeze.tumblr.com...
	9:38am Stark in Clark: Surfaces are evil. Especially 3 dimensional ones.
	9:39am Stark in Clark: moobies!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am The Oscar: Speaking of French films, they just dropped the trailer for Annette, the new Leos Carax musical featuring songs and screenplay by Sparks! www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yeah, screw the movies. Play some Journey dammit!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Don't wear out your voice on the first mic break, Joe. You have some tea & honey at the ready?
	♥ 9:40am BillyLundun: je je je je
	9:40am TerrDE: Dano, they make it clear for Americans in the Cruise one that its Penelope's breasts.For Europeans the mole was apparently enough in the first version.
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @Woods: Ha ha ha @Oscar: Wow!
	9:42am Stark in Clark: Ça plain pour moi?
	♥ 9:42am BillyLundun: Cartesian limits!
	9:43am Brendan: French discotheque with a banjo solo. I’m all In .
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park: "Disconnexion" kind of sounds like that one Devo song to me. Heh.
	♥ 9:45am fred: A musical featuring music by Sparks? What role did Bronwyn B. play in that coming to be? She has to be involved, right?
	9:45am Malcolm: sacre bleu
	9:45am TerrDE: Tom Waits version still is the best
	♥ 9:46am BillyLundun: Je pense que le plus grand probleme
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am Son Of Pantz: Love this Air song
	9:46am V Priceless: hi Joe! swell Air track!
	♥ 9:47am BillyLundun: I was so lucky to see Air on their Moon Safari tour in Montreal ages ago at the Spectrum. Great show!
	♥ 9:48am BillyLundun: Still don't understand how it wasn't sold out immediately
	♥ 9:48am Phin The Hyooman: Ooohh... I might end up on an Air listening kick later today. Thanks for the reminder, Joe!
	9:49am Glorious Estephonic: i passed out at an air concert and got carried out at the electric factory
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: @Glorious: Scary!
	9:51am Glorious Estephonic: i was not on drugs or anything / i was dehydrated
	9:52am Sylvia (France-NYC): Hi Joe and listeners! I saw La Femme live as they just had released their first album and they were frakking amazing. Their energy was fantastic.
	9:52am Glorious Estephonic: i got some much needed air and water outside and then went back in
	9:52am headcleaner: Some virus (which your body has hundreds of thousands of strains of, btw) can lay dormant in the body for years before getting around to doing real damage (like making you sick). Whether this applies to influenza infections, I don't know. But this is what a doctor friend explained to me when I asked why I was getting occasional mild colds in the past year (despite very much masked and isolated during this time).
	9:52am Gerry from Miami: @WoodsOfNH. If you are really into food-themed films, don't miss "Tampopo," about a Japanese noodle shop.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am Dano59: I also have 2 Air CDs at the ready for later.
	9:53am headcleaner: "some viruses"
	9:53am wizard frog: @headcleaner I feel like I heard something similar on a radiolab episode, though having googled it seems that cold and flus can only stay active for a couple days max but yea several years for others odd!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am Handy Haversack: Hi, Sylvia! Was very excited to hear BPX on Therese's show last night!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Gerry from Miami: Totally love that one. Spent a night a while back watching that and "Jiro Dreams of Sushi"
	9:53am Glorious Estephonic: LOVE Tampopo @Gerry .. i am also really into food-themed films
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am Son Of Pantz: Is The Free Design up next?
	9:54am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Handy Hi! I didn't know!! I haven't gone through the archives yet, that's so cool, thank you :)
	9:54am wizard frog: Oh, I want this Tampoco poster so bad but not sure it's actually available anywhere www.cinematerial.com...
	9:56am headcleaner: just try to imagine an alternate universe in which The Constant Sound made it big and you were hearing Peaceful Meadow all the time on 70s radio growing up. It's not too hard (if you remember the 70s, that is)
	♥ 9:56am TonyR: Well, my 9:30 is over.... SN gets me up and gets me "out"
	♥ 9:57am fred: True story: When Air had a residency at my workplace, some people got to show them around the place. My task was to show them where the bathrooms are. Shows you where I stand on the totem pole...
	9:58am Glorious Estephonic: i am so happy you are back @Joe McG :-))))))))))))))))))
	9:59am wizard frog: In an emergency, that would make you a VIP @fred probably the most VIP in the whole workplace!
	10:00am headcleaner: Latency is an excellent survival strategy for a virus, BTW. That's how HIV managed to score it so big.
	10:00am Sylvia (France-NYC): @fred I think you had the most important job, knowing where the bathrooms are on top of my list, anywhere. When I have people over, especially children, I show them where the bathroom is. it can be so embarrassing having to ask when you have to go (for many reasons).
	♥ 10:01am TonyR: Sorry to hear that JMcG was under the weather. I bet the simplest thing these days feels like it could be the end of the world. :(
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am Marley P. Dogg: This lead singer reminds me of the lead song of Morphine (RIP)
	♥ 10:04am fred: @Sylvia: That reminded me of the kitchen scene in Les Tontons Flingueurs ("c'est où?")
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: Yep, Marley, it's Mark Sandman.
	🎸 ♥ 10:04am Marley P. Dogg: Thanks Joe - never realized he had another band
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am Marley P. Dogg: Such a distinctive voice
	♥ 10:05am TonyR: A "special" column in the playlist. Is that a new development?
	10:06am Sylvia (France-NYC): @fred haha
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Handy Haversack: Marley, I don't even have this album, and from the first notes, I was like, "Morphine?" Sigh.
	10:08am John from Montclair: Sandman was in Treat Her Right before Morphine; and then he had voluminous side projects like that one.
	10:08am TerrDE: Morphine always reminds of 1930,'40s, or '50s music for an alternate universe
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am Marley P. Dogg: Handy - so sad that he was lost to us - wish we had more albums from him
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am Marley P. Dogg: TerrDE - well said!
	♥ 10:10am Troymo: I feel fortunate having seen Morphine live a few times. Orchestra Morphine was great too.
	♥ 10:10am βrian: 39 degrees. Chance of snow tomorrow. Ugh.
	10:11am Malcolm: clicky star for orions belte
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: @Troymo: I remember feeling that 2-string bass in my belly. They were physical for a 3 -piece!
	♥ 10:13am Troymo: That bass was a good feeling Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am karlward: "Surface Niçoise" www.instagram.com...
	10:14am TerrDE: YES !
	10:14am Dayffid: Monumental show as always! Thank you Mr McG!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am Jim the Poet: Happy Joesday
	♥ 10:14am BillyLundun: holy heck I haven't heard this track in ages!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am The Oscar: Avenging Annie! Andy Pratt was a regular at the Cambridge record store I worked at. If you hang around in Harvard Square long enough, you will be rewarded with his business card, which reads "70s Rock Legend."
	♥ 10:15am Krys O.: yay!
	10:16am Mike W: this show feels a little miraculous, which i guess you could say about most of them, but i don’t, i’m saying it about this one
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am Handy Haversack: Got a non-IG link, karlward?
	10:16am Mike W: which isn’t even halfway in
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: @Oscar: I love it!
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: @Mike W: Andy Pratt is sure to lift the spirits!
	♥ 10:17am βrian: Surface Niçoise: pommes de terre nouvelles ou non?
	10:17am Mike W: wow @Oscar @Joe McG quite!
	♥ 10:17am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am Dano59: thankful for that Andy P. nice!
	♥ 10:18am Rob W: I remember Avenging Annie - an old favorite - from WNEW-FM way back when they were still a nominally progressive station!
	🎸 ♥ 10:19am karlward: Handy: twitter.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am karlward: βrian: non.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am Handy Haversack: Quel magnifique, karlward!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am Dano59: @headcleaner: Constant Sound seems as good as The Free Design, just not as famous
	♥ 10:21am βrian: Haricots verts ? (Zydeco?)
	♥ 10:22am p/b: Thank you for this classic EJ, takes me back. I discovered his live in Moscow not too long ago, phenomenal open.spotify.com...
	♥ 10:22am Hubig Pie: Oui, new potatoes bathed in olive earl, vinegar and capers
	10:22am TerrDE: whats that in decimal ?
	♥ 10:23am βrian: Never had capers in that dish, but capers I do love.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am karlward: βrian: oeufs, tomates, olives niçoises, laitue, anchois--si simple
	♥ 10:27am Krys O.: Oh, I'm getting hungry from this recipe.
	♥ 10:27am Phillippe: Damn, haven't heard this Bluebells in like forever
	10:27am Glorious Estephonic: ah this song ! thank you ! Cath. I haven't heard this song since i was a kid rocking out to what my brothers rocked out to !
	10:28am headcleaner: @Dano59 - yes they both have a certain sound from a certain magical time that seems hard to reproduce (either the magic, or the sound)
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am karlward: This "Cath" is a jam. I've never heard it before. I guess I'm the only one.
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe. I'm knee-deep in bird-ID mystery over here. A ground bird, acts like a towhee, and looks like one, too, except all the wrong colors! Lt. brown head and cape and back, white chest, russet/orange sides, black vertical stripes on tail, black face.
	♥ 10:29am Yes: joe, sorry to ask this again. what is this slowed down bed music ??
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Might be a towhee / grizzly bear hybrid ... a trizzly.
	♥ 10:31am HesperusWrecked: Agree with Rob W, serious WNEW-FM flashback from that Pratt/Elton/Roxy segment.
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am The Oscar: Ha! I really hope he was listening to hear that :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am Handy Haversack: Ken, he'll tear your lungs out, Jim! Actually, I am coming down on the side of "remarkably high-contrast female eastern Towhee."
	♥ 10:33am ヱkョ: @fred, when American TV newsman Dan Rather showed up at our workplace a couple of years ago, our dept. showed him where the bathroom was too, so we’re with ya! Ha!
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Also Morphine-related and worth your time: Twinemen and (more recently) Vapors of Morphine.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am Handy Haversack: "They Bent Me" also reminded me of Black 47's "Fire of Freedom."
	♥ 10:34am βrian: Speaking of birdlife, the local great-horned family has been awfully chatty, lately. Day or night, doesn't matter.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am The Oscar: Speaking of Cambridge, the corner in Central Square that houses the Middle East club (and once TT the Bear's Place) is formally named Mark Sandman Square.
	♥ 10:34am snowweasel: Are we sure about those overdubbed saxophones? When I saw them live in '97, they got that sound from Dana Colley playing two simultaneous horns, a tenor and a baritone. Big sound.
	10:36am headcleaner: Central Square RIP
	🎸 ♥ 10:36am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @The Oscar: saw a few great shows at The Middle East. Also, the food was lovely.
	♥ 10:36am ヱkョ: That thing with the banjo was freakin’ awesome!
	♥ 10:38am Krys O.: It's been AGES since I heard this CCR song.
	♥ 10:38am JG: One of the all time great yowls
	10:39am Karen: @snoweeasle Yeah. Two saxes, not three. That way he could still put a hand on each and finegal more notes than just lipping would allow.
	♥ 10:39am Krys O.: OMG, this Mercy song is a mood changer. So smoooooth.
	10:39am yb: perfect
	10:40am TerrDE: Dewey , Cheatem , and Howe ? This is Chuck Berry...
	♥ 10:40am Yes: dig it
	♥ 10:41am βrian: Aux Barricades !
	10:41am headcleaner: such truth in these words
	♥ 10:42am Krys O.: Had no idea about the fake Mercy album that capitalized on the success of the single. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:43am Brendan: This would make a fine bed music track.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am Son Of Pantz: "Oh Mon Cheri. Come with me to the Casbah"
	♥ 10:46am Mister Dobalina: Very nice song!
	♥ 10:48am βrian: I've come to realize that if your horn section isn't right, your life isn't right.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am Son Of Pantz: "Nail won't spend"
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am The Oscar: Dammit-- I was about to run down to switch over the laundry, but Porter and Dolly!
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am Son Of Pantz: Really walking that bass. I love it!
	♥ 10:49am Krys O.: Ooh, I just came across this video of Dolly and her sisters singing Break My Mind on Porter's show. youtu.be...
	♥ 10:49am βrian: Love the Dolly/Wagoner cartage theme.
	♥ 10:51am βrian: Dali walked an anteater; we walk the bass.
	10:53am TerrDE: The name of this group is Sprachen Kopfs
	♥ 10:54am StringOFperils: Genau
	♥ 10:54am TonyR: 45s are little miracles.
	10:56am TerrDE: let me check... yep, Disco still sucks
	♥ 10:58am βrian: A vacuum is, eh, inspiring for some.
	♥ 10:58am Phillippe: @Handy @10:29 Hey Handy! I'm hopping off one call and headed to the next. I'll see if I can find anything when I hop off that one
	🎸 ♥ 10:58am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am karlward: For a second when this came I thought this was James White
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe - I'm glad you're back. I was worried that you got busted again for positing selfies on social media of you smoking blunts with a fistful of cash and flashing a James Gang sign.
	♥ 10:59am Mike Sin: Hey Joe! I think the title of this Richard Hell track needs more parentheses! Quick question -- do you have the picture sleeve that goes with this 45?
	♥ 10:59am Rich in Washington: I thought the exact some thing, karlward! This is like the template for No Wave.
	♥ 11:00am Mister Dobalina: Joe B., spinnin' some fire this mornin'...
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @Mike: Alas, no! But it is the picture sleeve version with the two tracks flipped on the B. @tim: Ha, you've been readin' my jail - I mean, mail.
	11:02am Marie: I listened to this album and Johnny Cash live cassette over and over again on a 16 hour drive of a huge Buick between here and Chicago--this album is burned into my brain
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am tim from champaign (now washington): Quine guitar slashing could chop a redwood in half.
	♥ 11:03am StringOFperils: This why Richard Hell could never be contained within Tom Verlaine's idea of Television.
	♥ 11:03am Mike Sin: @Joe McG -- yeah, I've seen this 45 show up for sale at so many places, but never with a picture sleeve! I'm guessing that increases the value of the Ork single by about 15x!
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, dear. Just hearing of the death of Rusty Young, from a heart attack at age 75. www.rollingstone.com... He was a co-founder of Andy Breckman favorite Poco.
	♥ 11:04am Joe McG: @Mike: I didn't look, but I bet you're right. Probably jumps from $10 to $50 or something.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am The Oscar: I feel like we lose track sometimes of how weird it is that "Mack the Knife" was a huge hit song.
	11:04am Gaston Musella: Superb set. So many memories. WFMU is the greatest.
	♥ 11:06am Krys O.: Yeah, it was sad to hear about Rusty Young last week. I liked Poco as a kid, Breckman notwithstanding.
	♥ 11:07am StringOFperils: Ha ha
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: Great set, Joe! And superb gift of a show today. So glad you're back and feeling better. Dog and I are off to inspect the bridge. Catch youse all later on at the Next Joe Up's.
	11:08am TerrDE: I caught 3 Grosshen Opera w mr Sting .He couldn't sing loud enough w out a mike
	11:08am nate s.: Am i the only one who thinks this version of mack the knife is insane? I guess i heard the ballad versions like dave van ronk’s first. It’s about murdering the underclass no?
	♥ 11:10am StringOFperils: @nate s > Mack The Knife is part of the (an) underclass depicted in that story; he just lives by night, according to his own dictates, which don't bar getting rid of the folks he doesn't need, who ar more likely to be wealthier, because it's all about money and greed in that story, and a kind of organized revolt from underneath....it's Brecht
	🎸 ♥ 11:11am Dano59: That Mercy single is one of the greatest sunshine pop hits ever. From the Sunshine state!
	♥ 11:11am StringOFperils: Weimar
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am Dano59: ... and Steve Martin's is the best Mack the Knife.
	11:13am nate s.: Hey yeah i am oversimplifying, i just mean the tonal clash is almost shocking to my ears whenever i hear that version. I guess im wondering if people at the time took it as ironic or something.
	11:13am TerrDE: was it Richard or Berry that sued CCR successful over that song ?
	11:17am Karen: @dano59 let’s be honest, Steve Martin’s anything is likely to be the best version.
	11:18am Faye: thanks Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @nate s. I remember that song being played a lot well into the 60s and 70. and suspect that most Americans thought it was a song by Bobby Darin.
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: My pleasure, Faye, nice get!
	11:19am Graham Brice: This Spencer Cullum track is great!
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am Hughie Considine: That passage was notably Garcia-esque.
	11:20am Santos L Halper: Really nice, Thompson-esque also.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: This one goes out to Brian, since it's really a winter song, and he's expecting snow.
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Hughie: I thought the same thing. And funny you should mention that, I just stumbled onto an article about a dude creating a scale replica of the Wall of Sound during lockdown: www.openculture.com...
	11:21am TerrDE: YES !
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am Brian in UK: Jimmie Dale Gilmore does a fair take on Mack the Knife with that high lonesome voice of his.
	11:23am Stillwell Coney Islander: No Regrets Tom Rush My favourite. I Love his voice
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Hughie Considine: @Woods, amazing level of commitment there. Some people just made sourdough bread :)
	11:24am Karen: I just have to say kudos for all of today’s show. My schedule doesn’t usually have me tuning in, but I’m so glad it wasn’t the case today.
	11:25am Gerry from Miami: Not knowing a dang thing about Joni Mitchell, a college dormmate played me this from Tom Rush's first (?) album. The rest is history. For Joni, that is. Tom never got the recognition he deserved.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am Brian in UK: Think it must be the hottest day of the year over here.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): I've never listened to Tom Rush before. I dig it!
	11:25am Listener Scott: Going back a bit, I hadn't heard Avenging Annie in forever, so was curious to see if there were any covers of it, and of course there was Roger Daltrey's version. So I had a listen on Youtube, and the top comment there is a nice one from Andy Pratt, 10 years ago, just letting everyone know it's his song.
	11:25am Brendan: Sounds like he’s got the urge for going. Best not to fight it.Bathroom’s down the hall.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Hughie: I know! I mean, I took up abstract painting but this guy, holy smokes.
	♥ 11:25am Hubig Pie: Jimmie Dale Gilmore could just read the phone book and it would sound good
	11:25am Ian: Heartbreaking and thrilling. I grew up on the prairies not too far from Joni and Urge for Going gets me teary. Thank you.
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Karen: Thanks for saying hello! @Brian: VERY seasonally inappropriate song for you. :)
	11:26am johnk77: tom rush super-talented great live performer also nice guy off-stage at least back in the day of the mid-seventies
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): @Stillwell Coney Islander - What was the shoe you saw at MSG that you mention on Sophisticated Boom Boom?
	♥ 11:27am Dominick: Circle Game LP has held up so well.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Brian in UK: Hubig Pie useless fact no.26 his dad's name is Brian.
	11:28am pgalub: Hey Joe. Sounding fab. Esp. diggin' the guitar lick on the Tom Rush tune.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: Rolling Stone absolutely raved about Andy Pratt as a serious artist and made it seem like he was going to have a lasting career. He disappeared faster than most who reach that level of acclaim.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am tim from champaign (now washington): Tom Rush's self-titled is a perpetual dollar bin record. How is it?
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: Hey Pete! Yeah, that's why I put that one on. The Spencer Cullum lick sent me to that lick. I forgot it was such a winter tune.
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am Hughie Considine: @Woods, that's still pretty good! I've turned a book into a podcast, which kept me off the street.
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am Brian in UK: Pratt by name, Pratt by nature?
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am Hughie Considine: He was the scion of the Pratt Institute Pratts...
	11:30am Stillwell Coney Islander: Tim- the show at MSG was Humble Pie withThe Blackberries and Black Oak Arkansas early 70s
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Watched Tin Soldier with PP Arnold the other day. It cooks. This has hints of later PF Sloan.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Dano59: Steve Marriott yeah!
	11:34am Ian: Tim from Champaign: Tom Rush has two self-titled albums: the Elektra one is meh but the Columbia one is good. Circle Game still the best.
	♥ 11:34am Greg from ZONE 5: These minstrels are soothing my jangled nerves.
	♥ 11:35am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:36am Gerry from Miami: @pgalub. A bit off in my Tom Rush recollection. This Mitchell tune is from his 6th album, "The Citcle Game." GSince you admire his guitar playing, check out the brilliant "Rockport Sunday" from that same album.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am Webhamster Henry: Ooh new Peggy Seeger.
	♥ 11:37am Hubig Pie: Oooo, surface noise
	11:38am wizard frog: 😭
	♥ 11:38am βrian: I thought the rule was you could only play "Urge for Going" in early autumn.
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Brian in UK: Joe, nice link.
	11:38am Gerry from Miami: Steve Marriott is an underrated genius of pop/rock music.
	♥ 11:39am Hubig Pie: Play Misty for me, Mr DJ
	11:39am morphe': Surface NOISE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Joe and all !!!!!!!!!!!!! On the move => NYC Wed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Brian in UK: Gerry, agree but like so many others he could not deal with everything that went with it.
	11:40am Gaston Musella: Saw Roberta Flack a few years ago at a BMCC soiree. I told her how much I loved her records, she said they were so boring. One of the most exquisite performances ever.
	11:41am headcleaner: this is some hot and heavy stuff
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: @βrian the only rule is that there are no rules.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Gaston: Ha ha! "Boring"!
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am nortonjutland: Glad you've recovered Joe. Great show!
	♥ 11:42am Yes: awesome
	♥ 11:42am Yes: this flack
	♥ 11:42am Tank Top: some chicken frying on that track, sounds like something from my collection!
	♥ 11:42am mb: Heylo Joe and good morning all! Hell of a last hour here. I bid y'all a good day...
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Marley P. Dogg: Joe - really great show today as always! Hope you feel better!
	♥ 11:44am βrian: @Ah, I get it: Flight Club.
	🎸 ♥ 11:44am Brian in UK: S'funny I have quite a different take on FMU's shows simply because of the five hour difference. Almost 5pm here. Thanks Joe.
	11:44am morphe': Joe - was out getting PVR test for Wed Flight to NYC .. missed Saal 3 and R Hell .. Thanks.. I'll go back and have a listen ...
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: Thanks for dropping by, everyone, and for the good wishes. I'm feeling great!
	11:45am Listener Baby: Welcome home, Joe. Good morning, all!

	♥ 11:47am Krys O.: Thanks for a cool show, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Strandlund: Always great!! Thanks Mr. McGasko!!
	11:48am Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks Joe, I haven't listened to Tom Rush since the late 60s. He recently came up on my Facebook page. No Regrets still blows my mind
	11:51am Mike W: Ass Ponys, that was a band. Cincinnati or elsewhere in Ohio?... they might still be a band for all i know
	11:52am Kpx: Hello Joey McGaskoey: thought I would just post at the end in time to say enjoyed your show and have a good day.
	♥ 11:53am Yes: thank you joe.
	♥ 11:54am Mike Sin: Tom Rush's version of "Urge for Going" is spectacular. Such an awesome Joni Mitchell composition.

	🎸 ♥ 9:00am Handy Haversack: Welcome back, Joe! Missed you and the Yips. Glad to be here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:01am Strandlund: Welcome Back Mr. McGasko!! YIP YIP YIP!!!
	9:01am Tinley Park Randy: Hmmmm. 1996 Oklahoma City bombing. Kind of a big deal.
	♥ 9:02am fred: Good morning Joe and Yipsters
	🎸 ♥ 9:02am Threemoons: Gooood morning Joe McG, fellow YipYips.....
	9:02am Malcolm: ello ello ello
	9:02am Rick A: Welcome back, Joe! I'm ready for some true noise from the surface though I have to work in a few minutes, unfortunately.
	🎸 ♥ 9:03am Marley P. Dogg: Yippity do dah, yippity day! Good morning everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Welcome back, Joe! Abbie from Mars was fun, but glad the Yips are here again.
	9:05am Hope Chernov: One of my favorite movies and soundtracks - thank you Joe!
	♥ 9:06am fred: I probably told that before, but when one day one of my many bosses (a noise musician) was on a road trip and lost the signal on the car's radio. While looking for another frequency, he got interference and his then 6 year old daughter exclaimed "it's daddy's music!"
	9:06am djsheilab: Happy to have you back on this beautiful Monday morning, Joe!
	9:06am Rick A: Cool, you are beginning with some film music. This is a great score though the film is okay. Yared scored Beineix's previous film "The Moon in the Gutter" too. Beineix stopped making films many years ago, sadly. Diva is one of my favorite films from the 80s and it was shown at BAM a couple of years ago with Neon Indian, introducing, great night.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07am Threemoons: @Fred that's awesome! Reminds me of the live F.M. Einheit show I saw in the LES a gazillion years and 40 lbs ago.....
	♥ 9:07am Krys O.: Greetings!
	🎸 ♥ 9:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Diva!! My absolute favorite movie. Oh, hey everybody. Actually down in NH this week. 2nd Pfizer shot coming this Saturday. Woo!
	♥ 9:07am Krys O.: Oh, Diva was a wonderful film....swoon.
	9:07am Brendan: Oh those lovable space aliens. I wonder if that was a Mexican radio radio radio that they were listening to.
	♥ 9:08am JG: Can somebody fill me in? The music is familiar, but what movie are we talking about?
	🎸 ♥ 9:08am Handy Haversack: Congrats, Woods! Never seen Diva, I think.
	9:08am Rick A: Diva is one of my favorite scores too. The La Wally aria is exhilarating.
	🎸 ♥ 9:08am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy. Highly recommended. Just avoid the one dubbed in English. Terrible.
	♥ 9:09am TonyR: Perfect for my Monday morning hangover. My WFH boss thanks you.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am Threemoons: I've never seen Diva even though I have been meaning to since it came out. I remember seeing ads for it in the Village Voice along with screenings of Liquid Sky, Eating Raul, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show.....
	♥ 9:10am Krys O.: @Woods: I often imagine that folks are listening to accordion music on their ear buds because of Diva ;). Good luck on jab #2.
	♥ 9:10am TonyR: Is this an anniversary of OKC?
	9:10am Stillwell Coney Islander: I Love Diva, watched it many times !
	♥ 9:10am TDK60: Good morning DJ Joe.
	♥ 9:11am Krys O.: @Threemoons: Loved the first two on your list: Liquid Sky and Eating Raoul. The latter because of Mary Woronov especially.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: Yeah, that man played an incredible villain!
	♥ 9:11am Joe McG: Bonjour, mes amis. Happy to be back today! It felt weird not to be here on a Monday morning last week.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am Son Of Pantz: I got my 2nd dose of Pfizer last tuesday and it took me out for 24 + hours. Worst flu symptoms I've ever had, but I'm glad it's over with.
	♥ 9:11am TonyR: Felt weird to not have you!
	♥ 9:12am Krys O.: @Woods: Dominique Pinon was great in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's films like Delicatessen and City of Lost Children.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am 12539: I'm not sure last week even had a Monday (although Abbie was a good fill-in choice).
	♥ 9:12am TonyR: "My yips! Where are my Yips?!!"
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Speaking of movies, we re-watched Babette's Feast this weekend. Man, better than I remembered. It sits right on the (mental) shelf with Big Night for lovely food-infused movies.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: I will have to check them out.
	♥ 9:14am p/b: GM FMuall and always love you Joe. Let's keep it together miracles everywhere yes right there in the mirror light love and in it together
	9:14am wizard frog: @WoodsofNH saw that earlier this year first time - yes great movie!
	♥ 9:14am Phillippe: good morning
	♥ 9:14am TDK60: I'm glad you're okay now, Son of Pantz.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Was it Neil Innes that did a take on French songs?
	♥ 9:16am Krys O.: @Woods: One more film for the epicurean list: The 100 Foot Journey by Lasse Halmstrom with Helen Mirren and Om Puri.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: I have taken the show outside. Brooklyn sunshine and some robin noise. I should fill the feeders now so as to get some company while I'm back here.
	♥ 9:17am fred: @Threemoons: more fun facts about that boss: his daughter heard some of the rockabye baby records when little (on my recommendation), and the guy once played live on WFMU
	🎸 ♥ 9:17am Brian in UK: Joe, it was strange from this side of the radio too. Must be 2/3 years since you took a day off.
	♥ 9:17am Krys O.: Neil Innes did Love is Getting Deeper from Innes Book of Records: youtu.be...
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Nice to see that the skeleton crew is getting some relief at last. Toiling away each day for over a year already. If there's a GoFundMe for a day spa event for the crew, I'd donate to that!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am Brian in UK: Krys O, that is it, well remembered.
	9:19am Niko, Copenhagen: What are U playing at today McGasko? Just tuned in....
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: (Happy Monday, Sheila!)
	9:20am G from Tarrytown: This is set is bringing me back to my 20s when I was way into soundtracks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am Threemoons: @fred that's pretty cool!
	9:20am Niko, Copenhagen: French movies!? Tres Piquanté
	♥ 9:21am Krys O.: @Brian in UK: I'm a Bonzo/Neil Innes fan. Saw him play live twice and even met him. Sweet fellow.
	9:21am Niko, Copenhagen: Ooh la la. C'est Tout Thielemangues? Pour la harmonica?
	🎸 ♥ 9:22am Threemoons: @Son of Pantz congrats on getting fully vaxxed--yeah, you kind of WANT a "robust immune response"--my 2nd Moderna knocked me on my lala pretty hard also.
	9:22am Niko, Copenhagen: Love that Betty Blue theme. Damn it's fine...
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am melinda: I love movie music Mondays!
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am Handy Haversack: SoP: I had a 36-hour, 101F fever from it, too. Weirdly reassuring. Congrats! Ahhh, here come the sparrows. And some visitor I didn't recognize. Gotta go get the field guide.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am Matt Fiveash: This music takes me back. Seeing Betty Blue in the theater as an angsty teen dovetailed perfectly with my burgeoning interest in tequila, cigarettes, and beautiful, disturbed women. Welcome back Joe!
	9:25am djsheilab: Brilliant set! Feeling this mood big time!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25am radioronan: Some of my fave soundtracks..how appropo on a crazed Monday morn..thanks Joe..
	♥ 9:26am Joe McG: @Matt: Very well put, as always! (Don't forget eating chili out of a pot.)
	♥ 9:26am Rich in Washington: i know that this is a distinctly different rendition, but I am conditioned to think that Tony Coulter's show is starting now.
	9:27am Niko, Copenhagen: Let me explain why Joe is great. An artist in his field: He does not get in the way of the music. He makes himself available. He becomes a medium. He is a master. Master DJ!
	♥ 9:29am JG: @ Niko, yes I think you're right. And this show is always great
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am luka: glad you’re OK, Joe!!
	9:31am MplsCoco: Glad it wasn't the "big bug!" Sorry Joe! ❤️
	🎸 ♥ 9:31am Marley P. Dogg: Hope you are feeling better Joe!
	9:31am BNowB.: Yea the flu is very rare right now. I'm really glad you are ok.
	♥ 9:32am PaulRobeson1920: Good morning WFMU land! <3 sounding good DJ Joe! Glad yer back and getting better
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am Dano59: Zees man, he ees not Fronch!
	9:33am TerrDE: has anyone seen both Vanilla Skys ? Although a shot for shot remake of the first, the Cruise version is much better.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am The Oscar: Mornin'! Love me a good soundtrack set.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am Dano59: Beineix is amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, blergh! Time off from skeleton duty because of cold and flu is not a great trade-off. Good health to you, Joe!
	♥ 9:34am Acid Cazh: Aww, sorry you got sick Joe! The most likely way it happened? Surfaces. Cold and flu can be passed on surfaces, unlike COVID (which is almost always passed by aerosolized particulates that the virus clings to). We're taking ALL kinds of precautions against breathing each other's air, but less precaution with surfaces (since it came to light that COVID is almost never communicated that way). Moral of the story: Wash yer hands, kids. ;)
	9:35am Crystal: Good Morning Joe :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am Dano59: agree TerreD, there is one shot in common, with Ms. Cruz. The scripts/dialogue flow about the same. Crowe called VS a "remix" of Abre Los Ojos.
	♥ 9:35am Acid Cazh: The #1 most effective treatment for flu is a TON of sleep. Whiskey is a great analgesic against aches and pains, take some tylenol for the fever, then take some Benadryl to sleeeeeeeeep. Good luck!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am Handy Haversack: A year without a cold has been pretty great. Maybe not worth the trade-offs, of course, but still.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am melinda: I have the Tindersticks film score box set, it's very good.
	♥ 9:37am Doug in JC: Don't mix alcohol and tylenol!
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am Dano59: rasputeeze.tumblr.com...
	9:38am Stark in Clark: Surfaces are evil. Especially 3 dimensional ones.
	9:39am Stark in Clark: moobies!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am The Oscar: Speaking of French films, they just dropped the trailer for Annette, the new Leos Carax musical featuring songs and screenplay by Sparks! www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yeah, screw the movies. Play some Journey dammit!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Don't wear out your voice on the first mic break, Joe. You have some tea & honey at the ready?
	♥ 9:40am BillyLundun: je je je je
	9:40am TerrDE: Dano, they make it clear for Americans in the Cruise one that its Penelope's breasts.For Europeans the mole was apparently enough in the first version.
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @Woods: Ha ha ha @Oscar: Wow!
	9:42am Stark in Clark: Ça plain pour moi?
	♥ 9:42am BillyLundun: Cartesian limits!
	9:43am Brendan: French discotheque with a banjo solo. I’m all In .
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park: "Disconnexion" kind of sounds like that one Devo song to me. Heh.
	♥ 9:45am fred: A musical featuring music by Sparks? What role did Bronwyn B. play in that coming to be? She has to be involved, right?
	9:45am Malcolm: sacre bleu
	9:45am TerrDE: Tom Waits version still is the best
	♥ 9:46am BillyLundun: Je pense que le plus grand probleme
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am Son Of Pantz: Love this Air song
	9:46am V Priceless: hi Joe! swell Air track!
	♥ 9:47am BillyLundun: I was so lucky to see Air on their Moon Safari tour in Montreal ages ago at the Spectrum. Great show!
	♥ 9:48am BillyLundun: Still don't understand how it wasn't sold out immediately
	♥ 9:48am Phin The Hyooman: Ooohh... I might end up on an Air listening kick later today. Thanks for the reminder, Joe!
	9:49am Glorious Estephonic: i passed out at an air concert and got carried out at the electric factory
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: @Glorious: Scary!
	9:51am Glorious Estephonic: i was not on drugs or anything / i was dehydrated
	9:52am Sylvia (France-NYC): Hi Joe and listeners! I saw La Femme live as they just had released their first album and they were frakking amazing. Their energy was fantastic.
	9:52am Glorious Estephonic: i got some much needed air and water outside and then went back in
	9:52am headcleaner: Some virus (which your body has hundreds of thousands of strains of, btw) can lay dormant in the body for years before getting around to doing real damage (like making you sick). Whether this applies to influenza infections, I don't know. But this is what a doctor friend explained to me when I asked why I was getting occasional mild colds in the past year (despite very much masked and isolated during this time).
	9:52am Gerry from Miami: @WoodsOfNH. If you are really into food-themed films, don't miss "Tampopo," about a Japanese noodle shop.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am Dano59: I also have 2 Air CDs at the ready for later.
	9:53am headcleaner: "some viruses"
	9:53am wizard frog: @headcleaner I feel like I heard something similar on a radiolab episode, though having googled it seems that cold and flus can only stay active for a couple days max but yea several years for others odd!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am Handy Haversack: Hi, Sylvia! Was very excited to hear BPX on Therese's show last night!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Gerry from Miami: Totally love that one. Spent a night a while back watching that and "Jiro Dreams of Sushi"
	9:53am Glorious Estephonic: LOVE Tampopo @Gerry .. i am also really into food-themed films
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am Son Of Pantz: Is The Free Design up next?
	9:54am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Handy Hi! I didn't know!! I haven't gone through the archives yet, that's so cool, thank you :)
	9:54am wizard frog: Oh, I want this Tampoco poster so bad but not sure it's actually available anywhere www.cinematerial.com...
	9:56am headcleaner: just try to imagine an alternate universe in which The Constant Sound made it big and you were hearing Peaceful Meadow all the time on 70s radio growing up. It's not too hard (if you remember the 70s, that is)
	♥ 9:56am TonyR: Well, my 9:30 is over.... SN gets me up and gets me "out"
	♥ 9:57am fred: True story: When Air had a residency at my workplace, some people got to show them around the place. My task was to show them where the bathrooms are. Shows you where I stand on the totem pole...
	9:58am Glorious Estephonic: i am so happy you are back @Joe McG :-))))))))))))))))))
	9:59am wizard frog: In an emergency, that would make you a VIP @fred probably the most VIP in the whole workplace!
	10:00am headcleaner: Latency is an excellent survival strategy for a virus, BTW. That's how HIV managed to score it so big.
	10:00am Sylvia (France-NYC): @fred I think you had the most important job, knowing where the bathrooms are on top of my list, anywhere. When I have people over, especially children, I show them where the bathroom is. it can be so embarrassing having to ask when you have to go (for many reasons).
	♥ 10:01am TonyR: Sorry to hear that JMcG was under the weather. I bet the simplest thing these days feels like it could be the end of the world. :(
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am Marley P. Dogg: This lead singer reminds me of the lead song of Morphine (RIP)
	♥ 10:04am fred: @Sylvia: That reminded me of the kitchen scene in Les Tontons Flingueurs ("c'est où?")
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: Yep, Marley, it's Mark Sandman.
	🎸 ♥ 10:04am Marley P. Dogg: Thanks Joe - never realized he had another band
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am Marley P. Dogg: Such a distinctive voice
	♥ 10:05am TonyR: A "special" column in the playlist. Is that a new development?
	10:06am Sylvia (France-NYC): @fred haha
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Handy Haversack: Marley, I don't even have this album, and from the first notes, I was like, "Morphine?" Sigh.
	10:08am John from Montclair: Sandman was in Treat Her Right before Morphine; and then he had voluminous side projects like that one.
	10:08am TerrDE: Morphine always reminds of 1930,'40s, or '50s music for an alternate universe
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am Marley P. Dogg: Handy - so sad that he was lost to us - wish we had more albums from him
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am Marley P. Dogg: TerrDE - well said!
	♥ 10:10am Troymo: I feel fortunate having seen Morphine live a few times. Orchestra Morphine was great too.
	♥ 10:10am βrian: 39 degrees. Chance of snow tomorrow. Ugh.
	10:11am Malcolm: clicky star for orions belte
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: @Troymo: I remember feeling that 2-string bass in my belly. They were physical for a 3 -piece!
	♥ 10:13am Troymo: That bass was a good feeling Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am karlward: "Surface Niçoise" www.instagram.com...
	10:14am TerrDE: YES !
	10:14am Dayffid: Monumental show as always! Thank you Mr McG!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am Jim the Poet: Happy Joesday
	♥ 10:14am BillyLundun: holy heck I haven't heard this track in ages!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am The Oscar: Avenging Annie! Andy Pratt was a regular at the Cambridge record store I worked at. If you hang around in Harvard Square long enough, you will be rewarded with his business card, which reads "70s Rock Legend."
	♥ 10:15am Krys O.: yay!
	10:16am Mike W: this show feels a little miraculous, which i guess you could say about most of them, but i don’t, i’m saying it about this one
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am Handy Haversack: Got a non-IG link, karlward?
	10:16am Mike W: which isn’t even halfway in
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: @Oscar: I love it!
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: @Mike W: Andy Pratt is sure to lift the spirits!
	♥ 10:17am βrian: Surface Niçoise: pommes de terre nouvelles ou non?
	10:17am Mike W: wow @Oscar @Joe McG quite!
	♥ 10:17am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am Dano59: thankful for that Andy P. nice!
	♥ 10:18am Rob W: I remember Avenging Annie - an old favorite - from WNEW-FM way back when they were still a nominally progressive station!
	🎸 ♥ 10:19am karlward: Handy: twitter.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am karlward: βrian: non.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am Handy Haversack: Quel magnifique, karlward!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am Dano59: @headcleaner: Constant Sound seems as good as The Free Design, just not as famous
	♥ 10:21am βrian: Haricots verts ? (Zydeco?)
	♥ 10:22am p/b: Thank you for this classic EJ, takes me back. I discovered his live in Moscow not too long ago, phenomenal open.spotify.com...
	♥ 10:22am Hubig Pie: Oui, new potatoes bathed in olive earl, vinegar and capers
	10:22am TerrDE: whats that in decimal ?
	♥ 10:23am βrian: Never had capers in that dish, but capers I do love.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am karlward: βrian: oeufs, tomates, olives niçoises, laitue, anchois--si simple
	♥ 10:27am Krys O.: Oh, I'm getting hungry from this recipe.
	♥ 10:27am Phillippe: Damn, haven't heard this Bluebells in like forever
	10:27am Glorious Estephonic: ah this song ! thank you ! Cath. I haven't heard this song since i was a kid rocking out to what my brothers rocked out to !
	10:28am headcleaner: @Dano59 - yes they both have a certain sound from a certain magical time that seems hard to reproduce (either the magic, or the sound)
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am karlward: This "Cath" is a jam. I've never heard it before. I guess I'm the only one.
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe. I'm knee-deep in bird-ID mystery over here. A ground bird, acts like a towhee, and looks like one, too, except all the wrong colors! Lt. brown head and cape and back, white chest, russet/orange sides, black vertical stripes on tail, black face.
	♥ 10:29am Yes: joe, sorry to ask this again. what is this slowed down bed music ??
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Might be a towhee / grizzly bear hybrid ... a trizzly.
	♥ 10:31am HesperusWrecked: Agree with Rob W, serious WNEW-FM flashback from that Pratt/Elton/Roxy segment.
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am The Oscar: Ha! I really hope he was listening to hear that :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am Handy Haversack: Ken, he'll tear your lungs out, Jim! Actually, I am coming down on the side of "remarkably high-contrast female eastern Towhee."
	♥ 10:33am ヱkョ: @fred, when American TV newsman Dan Rather showed up at our workplace a couple of years ago, our dept. showed him where the bathroom was too, so we’re with ya! Ha!
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Also Morphine-related and worth your time: Twinemen and (more recently) Vapors of Morphine.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am Handy Haversack: "They Bent Me" also reminded me of Black 47's "Fire of Freedom."
	♥ 10:34am βrian: Speaking of birdlife, the local great-horned family has been awfully chatty, lately. Day or night, doesn't matter.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am The Oscar: Speaking of Cambridge, the corner in Central Square that houses the Middle East club (and once TT the Bear's Place) is formally named Mark Sandman Square.
	♥ 10:34am snowweasel: Are we sure about those overdubbed saxophones? When I saw them live in '97, they got that sound from Dana Colley playing two simultaneous horns, a tenor and a baritone. Big sound.
	10:36am headcleaner: Central Square RIP
	🎸 ♥ 10:36am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @The Oscar: saw a few great shows at The Middle East. Also, the food was lovely.
	♥ 10:36am ヱkョ: That thing with the banjo was freakin’ awesome!
	♥ 10:38am Krys O.: It's been AGES since I heard this CCR song.
	♥ 10:38am JG: One of the all time great yowls
	10:39am Karen: @snoweeasle Yeah. Two saxes, not three. That way he could still put a hand on each and finegal more notes than just lipping would allow.
	♥ 10:39am Krys O.: OMG, this Mercy song is a mood changer. So smoooooth.
	10:39am yb: perfect
	10:40am TerrDE: Dewey , Cheatem , and Howe ? This is Chuck Berry...
	♥ 10:40am Yes: dig it
	♥ 10:41am βrian: Aux Barricades !
	10:41am headcleaner: such truth in these words
	♥ 10:42am Krys O.: Had no idea about the fake Mercy album that capitalized on the success of the single. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:43am Brendan: This would make a fine bed music track.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am Son Of Pantz: "Oh Mon Cheri. Come with me to the Casbah"
	♥ 10:46am Mister Dobalina: Very nice song!
	♥ 10:48am βrian: I've come to realize that if your horn section isn't right, your life isn't right.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am Son Of Pantz: "Nail won't spend"
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am The Oscar: Dammit-- I was about to run down to switch over the laundry, but Porter and Dolly!
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am Son Of Pantz: Really walking that bass. I love it!
	♥ 10:49am Krys O.: Ooh, I just came across this video of Dolly and her sisters singing Break My Mind on Porter's show. youtu.be...
	♥ 10:49am βrian: Love the Dolly/Wagoner cartage theme.
	♥ 10:51am βrian: Dali walked an anteater; we walk the bass.
	10:53am TerrDE: The name of this group is Sprachen Kopfs
	♥ 10:54am StringOFperils: Genau
	♥ 10:54am TonyR: 45s are little miracles.
	10:56am TerrDE: let me check... yep, Disco still sucks
	♥ 10:58am βrian: A vacuum is, eh, inspiring for some.
	♥ 10:58am Phillippe: @Handy @10:29 Hey Handy! I'm hopping off one call and headed to the next. I'll see if I can find anything when I hop off that one
	🎸 ♥ 10:58am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am karlward: For a second when this came I thought this was James White
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe - I'm glad you're back. I was worried that you got busted again for positing selfies on social media of you smoking blunts with a fistful of cash and flashing a James Gang sign.
	♥ 10:59am Mike Sin: Hey Joe! I think the title of this Richard Hell track needs more parentheses! Quick question -- do you have the picture sleeve that goes with this 45?
	♥ 10:59am Rich in Washington: I thought the exact some thing, karlward! This is like the template for No Wave.
	♥ 11:00am Mister Dobalina: Joe B., spinnin' some fire this mornin'...
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @Mike: Alas, no! But it is the picture sleeve version with the two tracks flipped on the B. @tim: Ha, you've been readin' my jail - I mean, mail.
	11:02am Marie: I listened to this album and Johnny Cash live cassette over and over again on a 16 hour drive of a huge Buick between here and Chicago--this album is burned into my brain
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am tim from champaign (now washington): Quine guitar slashing could chop a redwood in half.
	♥ 11:03am StringOFperils: This why Richard Hell could never be contained within Tom Verlaine's idea of Television.
	♥ 11:03am Mike Sin: @Joe McG -- yeah, I've seen this 45 show up for sale at so many places, but never with a picture sleeve! I'm guessing that increases the value of the Ork single by about 15x!
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, dear. Just hearing of the death of Rusty Young, from a heart attack at age 75. www.rollingstone.com... He was a co-founder of Andy Breckman favorite Poco.
	♥ 11:04am Joe McG: @Mike: I didn't look, but I bet you're right. Probably jumps from $10 to $50 or something.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am The Oscar: I feel like we lose track sometimes of how weird it is that "Mack the Knife" was a huge hit song.
	11:04am Gaston Musella: Superb set. So many memories. WFMU is the greatest.
	♥ 11:06am Krys O.: Yeah, it was sad to hear about Rusty Young last week. I liked Poco as a kid, Breckman notwithstanding.
	♥ 11:07am StringOFperils: Ha ha
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: Great set, Joe! And superb gift of a show today. So glad you're back and feeling better. Dog and I are off to inspect the bridge. Catch youse all later on at the Next Joe Up's.
	11:08am TerrDE: I caught 3 Grosshen Opera w mr Sting .He couldn't sing loud enough w out a mike
	11:08am nate s.: Am i the only one who thinks this version of mack the knife is insane? I guess i heard the ballad versions like dave van ronk’s first. It’s about murdering the underclass no?
	♥ 11:10am StringOFperils: @nate s > Mack The Knife is part of the (an) underclass depicted in that story; he just lives by night, according to his own dictates, which don't bar getting rid of the folks he doesn't need, who ar more likely to be wealthier, because it's all about money and greed in that story, and a kind of organized revolt from underneath....it's Brecht
	🎸 ♥ 11:11am Dano59: That Mercy single is one of the greatest sunshine pop hits ever. From the Sunshine state!
	♥ 11:11am StringOFperils: Weimar
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am Dano59: ... and Steve Martin's is the best Mack the Knife.
	11:13am nate s.: Hey yeah i am oversimplifying, i just mean the tonal clash is almost shocking to my ears whenever i hear that version. I guess im wondering if people at the time took it as ironic or something.
	11:13am TerrDE: was it Richard or Berry that sued CCR successful over that song ?
	11:17am Karen: @dano59 let’s be honest, Steve Martin’s anything is likely to be the best version.
	11:18am Faye: thanks Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @nate s. I remember that song being played a lot well into the 60s and 70. and suspect that most Americans thought it was a song by Bobby Darin.
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: My pleasure, Faye, nice get!
	11:19am Graham Brice: This Spencer Cullum track is great!
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am Hughie Considine: That passage was notably Garcia-esque.
	11:20am Santos L Halper: Really nice, Thompson-esque also.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: This one goes out to Brian, since it's really a winter song, and he's expecting snow.
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Hughie: I thought the same thing. And funny you should mention that, I just stumbled onto an article about a dude creating a scale replica of the Wall of Sound during lockdown: www.openculture.com...
	11:21am TerrDE: YES !
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am Brian in UK: Jimmie Dale Gilmore does a fair take on Mack the Knife with that high lonesome voice of his.
	11:23am Stillwell Coney Islander: No Regrets Tom Rush My favourite. I Love his voice
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Hughie Considine: @Woods, amazing level of commitment there. Some people just made sourdough bread :)
	11:24am Karen: I just have to say kudos for all of today’s show. My schedule doesn’t usually have me tuning in, but I’m so glad it wasn’t the case today.
	11:25am Gerry from Miami: Not knowing a dang thing about Joni Mitchell, a college dormmate played me this from Tom Rush's first (?) album. The rest is history. For Joni, that is. Tom never got the recognition he deserved.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am Brian in UK: Think it must be the hottest day of the year over here.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): I've never listened to Tom Rush before. I dig it!
	11:25am Listener Scott: Going back a bit, I hadn't heard Avenging Annie in forever, so was curious to see if there were any covers of it, and of course there was Roger Daltrey's version. So I had a listen on Youtube, and the top comment there is a nice one from Andy Pratt, 10 years ago, just letting everyone know it's his song.
	11:25am Brendan: Sounds like he’s got the urge for going. Best not to fight it.Bathroom’s down the hall.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Hughie: I know! I mean, I took up abstract painting but this guy, holy smokes.
	♥ 11:25am Hubig Pie: Jimmie Dale Gilmore could just read the phone book and it would sound good
	11:25am Ian: Heartbreaking and thrilling. I grew up on the prairies not too far from Joni and Urge for Going gets me teary. Thank you.
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Karen: Thanks for saying hello! @Brian: VERY seasonally inappropriate song for you. :)
	11:26am johnk77: tom rush super-talented great live performer also nice guy off-stage at least back in the day of the mid-seventies
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): @Stillwell Coney Islander - What was the shoe you saw at MSG that you mention on Sophisticated Boom Boom?
	♥ 11:27am Dominick: Circle Game LP has held up so well.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Brian in UK: Hubig Pie useless fact no.26 his dad's name is Brian.
	11:28am pgalub: Hey Joe. Sounding fab. Esp. diggin' the guitar lick on the Tom Rush tune.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: Rolling Stone absolutely raved about Andy Pratt as a serious artist and made it seem like he was going to have a lasting career. He disappeared faster than most who reach that level of acclaim.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am tim from champaign (now washington): Tom Rush's self-titled is a perpetual dollar bin record. How is it?
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: Hey Pete! Yeah, that's why I put that one on. The Spencer Cullum lick sent me to that lick. I forgot it was such a winter tune.
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am Hughie Considine: @Woods, that's still pretty good! I've turned a book into a podcast, which kept me off the street.
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am Brian in UK: Pratt by name, Pratt by nature?
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am Hughie Considine: He was the scion of the Pratt Institute Pratts...

	🎸 ♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Watched Tin Soldier with PP Arnold the other day. It cooks. This has hints of later PF Sloan.

	11:34am Ian: Tim from Champaign: Tom Rush has two self-titled albums: the Elektra one is meh but the Columbia one is good. Circle Game still the best.

	♥ 11:35am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:36am Gerry from Miami: @pgalub. A bit off in my Tom Rush recollection. This Mitchell tune is from his 6th album, "The Citcle Game." GSince you admire his guitar playing, check out the brilliant "Rockport Sunday" from that same album.
