	9:04am Deborah: Radio!!! Anyone hear Michael Stipe's "Drive to the Ocean," in part a homage to radio. Echoes of Leonard Cohen, in a way.

	9:05am Deborah: Live Radio is meaningful, especially now!
	♥ 9:05am Andrew Waterloo: Morning :)
	9:06am John from Florham park: @Coleen did you get my message about Therese show from yesterday

	♥ 9:11am porchy: My sister lives below Griffith Park I wonder is she sees the drone
	♥ 9:11am David (in London): @John - We are lining up a photo session for midweek. Your full ceremonial robes will be needed. Then you can sign the photos with inspiring messages, to be sent out as morale-boosters in these trying times.
	♥ 9:11am bore: good morning WFMU <3
	♥ 9:11am Baja Joe: Drove my son to his apparently "essential service" job this morning to keep him off public transportation. Noticed the roads were quite crowded at 0615 hours. Can't imagine all these drivers are part of the "essential services" crowd. Very strange to see as I was expecting empty streets on Staten Island.
	♥ 9:12am porchy: Hola Mcgasko & co
	♥ 9:12am Andrew_in_WI: Is this Surface noise fresh, or canned?
	9:12am John from Florham park: @DIL sounds good
	♥ 9:12am Joe McG: @Andrew: I'm fresh as a spring day.
	♥ 9:12am Snoochienucci: @queems if your still here, that does look like a good cone lol. ill have to make it back there soon, maybe take my little cousin to keep the tradition alive!
	♥ 9:14am JtotheK: Enjoying Harmonia. Hiya Joltin' Joe McGasko, hi everyone.
	♥ 9:14am Handy Haversack: Morning, @porchy!
	♥ 9:15am Hughie Considine: Harmonia is heavenly! Greetings, (well-scrubbed) Surface Noise fans...
	♥ 9:15am porchy: Morning Handy! Laying in bed frozen and staring at fmu message boards while listening is one of most comforting things to do these days
	♥ 9:15am The Oscar: Mornin' all! Live shows are such a comfort, and Surface Noise doubly so-- godspeed brave skeletons!
	9:16am Earth Walker: P20 thanks for the link I remember the Monkeys on TV when I was a kid
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: Nice, Porchy. Like an idiot, I just start working as soon as I'm up and scrubbed. Trying to remind myself to stop early.
	♥ 9:16am Andrew Waterloo: Certainly is a good start to my work-from-home-day
	♥ 9:16am p20: @Baja Joe: Streets seem pretty quiet here in Chicago. Maybe Midwesterners are better at following orders?
	♥ 9:16am porchy: Thanx for being there joe I look forward to stuffing envelopes with you guys asap
	9:18am Ben: Does anyone know that song where it keeps repeating the lyric wah wah wichita or something that sounds like that. It’s definitely been played on wfmu
	♥ 9:18am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Think the next few weeks will have some of the busiest comments boards for the last ten years.
	♥ 9:18am Andrew_in_WI: @Joe McG that's what I like to hear!
	♥ 9:18am David (in London): Yeah, thanks for keeping the live flag flying high Joe. We surely do all appreciate it.
	♥ 9:18am Guido from Cologne: Hello Joe and everybody!
	♥ 9:18am steveo: Good morning, Joe! Thank you for your service.
	9:19am P-90: Thanks for the live-ness, Joe.
	♥ 9:19am Brian in UK: @David (in London), new album? Could I suggest 'To Meet Us Apart'.
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, it's pretty remarkable. Usually, there's a hardy crew who are up this early for the start of the show, but most drop by somewhere in the middle. Nice to have you all here!
	9:20am John from Florham park: @BIUK I think last Monday was the start of busy comment boards
	♥ 9:20am TDK60: Hats off to the skeletons in the radio office towers.
	♥ 9:20am p20: @Earth Walker: I grew up with the Monkees on TV. At the end of the show, when they sang "We may be comin' to your town!" I always got excited - the Monkees are coming to Sleepytown, NJ to spread their high-spirited antics! Hooray! But they never showed up. That may have been the beginning of my disillusionment and loss of innocence.
	♥ 9:20am LastWhiteRhino: Maybe everyone on the skeleton crew should get a new radio name. Joe how about "T-bone" ,for you? T-bone-T-bone,T-bone !!!
	♥ 9:21am Roberto: We have the Tone Deaf Award winner for the year. Someone in my company just sent an email to the entire IT team with the subject line "VIRUS." Can you all guess what it was about?
	♥ 9:21am David (in London): Hey Brian. That's actually a good shout. I'm going to jot that one down for later.
	♥ 9:21am Gord: @Baja — Here from my vantage on Ocean Parkway — one of the main drags in Brooklyn — there are still too many cars rolling.
	9:23am ben abs: Thanks for being here Joe. Afternoon David! Morning TDK & Handy Hope you are All doing well
	♥ 9:23am djsheilab: Hey Joe! Lovely opening set. Appreciate you more than ever on this solitary Monday morning!
	♥ 9:24am Ken From Hyde Park: 206 bones in the human skeleton. At three shifts per day, we run out of bones in fewer than ten weeks.
	♥ 9:25am TDK60: Hey there Ben Abs. Out west in Stroud?
	♥ 9:25am David (in London): Hey Ben. Are you in Stroud now?
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: @Ken -- let's organize a bone drive.
	♥ 9:25am porchy: Mornin SheilaB - great remote show on Friday
	♥ 9:25am zivilars: Just tuning in ... Hi everybody, stay safe – and thanks for the show, Joe. Don't know if you're a proud member of the skeleton crew, broadcasting from home or pre-recorded this show – in any case, it's good to at least still have those little constants in life like favourite WFMU shows
	9:25am John from Florham park: @Djsheilab great show on Friday as usual, will you do a live show from your kitchen?
	♥ 9:26am Handy Haversack: Hey, Ben! Doing OK. Standing. Working. Hearing. Grooving. You good?
	♥ 9:26am Irene Trudel: Yes, big hugs to Joe, Station Manager Ken for keeping our WFMU lifeline going!
	9:26am John from Florham park: @Ben abs morning
	♥ 9:26am Brian in UK: David (in London) it is beautiful here. Unfortunately I have had a cold since last Friday. Yes folks, colds are still permitted. Fired up the rotavator to turn over the allotment. What larks, Pip.
	9:26am Earth Walker: p20. I went from the Monkeys to the Grateful Dead LSD Oh those damn Monkeys !!!
	♥ 9:27am TDK60: Joe is part of the live radio skeleton crew. Ken listed 6 or 7 folks as part of that.
	♥ 9:27am Handy Haversack: @Brian, yeah, Kate's had a cold, too. Insult to injury, eh?
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: Sheila's show on Friday was really special. Be sure to check out the archive.
	9:28am Dennis Diken: Good morning to Joe & everybody! great to be here with you all
	♥ 9:28am LastWhiteRhino: @djsheilab: Happy Nowruz !
	♥ 9:28am zivilars: @TDK60: Thanks for the info. Things can't go to normal soon enough for me, but I guess it will still take a while ...
	9:28am Earth Walker: Hi TDK 60
	9:28am Rachel Bo Bachel: Stay safe Joe McG and everyone! Thank you for the beautiful music today and every Monday!
	9:29am John from Florham park: @Jie mcG more the usual, you are all stepping up your game
	♥ 9:29am TDK60: Bon jour Earth Walker.
	♥ 9:29am melinda: I've been having difficulty getting up and maintaining any kind of schedule but since I need to go grocery shopping and don't know what to expect when I arrive I'm trying to get my ass in gear and not dilly-dally.
	♥ 9:29am duke: Hi Joe. Wonderful to hear you
	9:30am Doug C.: @Joe McG I heard Shelia's show and have listened to it three times. It really is a special show.
	♥ 9:31am EG_Astro: A sort of schedule will happen @melinda, and then some days it just wont. I couldn't force it last week. Hope today is easier for you and kind to yourself.
	♥ 9:31am Handy Haversack: @melinda, probably best to do it early and steal a march on most folks.
	♥ 9:31am Brian in UK: I think that WFMU is really lucky to have finished the marathon when it did. Just a few more nudges to get over the line but please stop $5 dollars short. Much as I think that Ken is above reproach there are some things that.....
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: @Doug C: She's the greatest. I mean you, Sheila!
	9:32am John from Florham park: @Melinda still on my pjs and just want to go back to bed but alas no, got to get to the post office
	♥ 9:33am Roberto: Well it wasn't about COVID-19, I'll tell you that much.
	♥ 9:33am David (in London): @Brian - Yes, it is absolutely glorious here too. A proper Spring day.
	♥ 9:34am melinda: @Handy that's the idea, shopping for lower-risk people starts in 27 minutes at my co-op! Most anxious about egg supply.
	9:34am ben abs: @David TDK Handy, yep bunkering down out west, taking the dog up the hills to get some well distanced fresh air occasionally. FMU is actually really helpful as some semblance of normal routine during strange times. Hola Gohn, hope all is well in Florham park. @Brian, where you based?
	9:34am kevlicki: Good morning Joe and all!
	9:34am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: If the station smells like bleach you could pretend that you are sitting by the pool (now closed).
	♥ 9:34am Listener Robert: Yay, skeletons!
	9:35am Barbie: Hi Joe glad you are live
	♥ 9:35am Roberto: My apartment smells like wood stain. I'm building a bookcase.
	9:35am MplsCoco: Slap that body!
	♥ 9:35am Handy Haversack: Why you hitting yourself, Joe? Why you hitting yourself?!
	♥ 9:35am dave wuz here: we have flesh slap varification
	♥ 9:36am Ken From Hyde Park: @melinda - Try to remain one JRU (Joe Ramone Unit) away from your fellow shoppers.
	9:36am robyn and 6-yr old mini glistener ajax: hi joe, sending good vibes from pa to you all:)
	9:36am Santos L Halper: @Ben 9:18- That's probably Wichi-Tai-To. Many versions, most great (never mind what Irwin thinks); Ken played the Jim Pepper one last Wednesday. Morning Joe, nice to hear you!
	9:37am Ben: Ah thx!!!
	9:37am ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all.Good to hear a live and direct show.Power to the D.J's and skeleton crew,and the station that's helping it go thru.Thanks much .
	9:37am Hi from Holland: Aloha!
	9:38am P-90: Good ol’ Klaus Kinski.
	♥ 9:38am Brian in UK: Another German band Popol Vuh did the Fitzcarraldo soundtrack.
	9:38am Andy: Thank you for doing what you do, Joe. It’s so nice to hear a voice in real time. #live :)
	♥ 9:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Sounds like an alien trying to pass in polite society. "My name is…Dave. Dave…uhhhh…HUMAN."
	♥ 9:39am melinda: @Ken haha, I'll try, but it's a small store. Wish I had a mask.
	♥ 9:39am Rob W: New Cornershop!!!!!!!!
	9:40am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: Love the new Cornershop record!
	♥ 9:40am Brian in UK: melinda, I hear that balaclavas are the must have this Spring.
	9:40am ami ad: Big respect to Ms. Lupe Hernandez for inventing the hand sanitizer.
	♥ 9:41am iiibeat: I believe that an actual ship was moved across an actual mountain for the filming.
	♥ 9:41am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning! Great song to tune in to
	♥ 9:41am Greg from ZONE 5: Also thanks for being there, Joe!
	♥ 9:41am Handy Haversack: Good call, Greg. I don't trust it! This sounds great. @iiibeat: yup.
	9:42am P-90: Good ol’ Lupe Hernandez.
	♥ 9:43am Matt Fiveash: Yes! All time H&M top ten.
	♥ 9:43am Greg from ZONE 5: Faye can actually sing. That's cheating!
	♥ 9:43am Woo: While this March feels like the longest month ever, next week is April. Project forward. As Criswell said in Plan 9 from Outer Space, we are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
	9:43am kevlicki: WFMU is an essential service. I think the Democrats blocked the aid package because there wasn’t enough support for WFMU in it
	9:44am wendy del formaggio: Sing it, Faye!
	♥ 9:44am TDK60: Darn, was outta the room during the new Cornershop.
	♥ 9:45am Greg from ZONE 5: @Woo: And future events such as these will affect YOU in the future!
	9:45am member of human: Hello folkZ I'm late to the party, what did I miss
	♥ 9:45am Roberto: Wow, Faye rox!
	♥ 9:46am Rich in Bay Ridge: This is great...Faye!
	♥ 9:46am steveo: many great songs and a lot of comments, human
	♥ 9:46am TDK60: ..but there are the WFMU archives, turning out to be very helpful too in this current situation.
	♥ 9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks to (I presume) Scott Williams for disinfecting the New Bin over the weekend.
	9:47am member of Human: HehHehe seems very nice thankS
	♥ 9:48am steveo: Joe, you're not living at the station, are you? You still go home sometimes, right?
	♥ 9:51am LW Rhino: Today's show is even more soothing than usual.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @steveo: Oh, sure. WFMU to home, home to WFMU, repeat. I'm happy to have somewhere else to go.
	♥ 9:53am Handy Haversack: How do the streets of JC look, @Joe McG?
	9:53am allantoronto: Sunshine Pop with a catastrophe theme. A hedged bet.
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: @Handy: There are people around. Some telephone crew seems to be working at the back of the building. The post office is humming as usual.
	♥ 9:53am steveo: that's good -- yeah, most of us have nowhere to go, i think
	♥ 9:54am Handy Haversack: Can't wait till we can come back out and help again, @Joe! Will be a triumph.
	♥ 9:55am Rob W: Thanks Handy Haversack and all our illustrious volunteers!
	♥ 9:56am David (in London): Hope you're managing to maintain 1 JRu on your commute Joe. (Joey Ramone has here been made the official unit of social distancing following Handy's suggestion).
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: @David: I drive here so I'm socially isolated even in my car.
	♥ 9:57am Handy Haversack: Gotta think that was "we frack the Earth" in both resource-extraction and Battlestar Galactica senses. @David: I think the JRu was invented on yet another accu board last week some time -- but I am happy to propagate the message. I, for one, don't want to be buried in a pet sematary.
	♥ 9:58am Kat in Chicago: Great to hear you, Joe. I signed into WFMU before I signed into my work email - priorities! I normally don't get to listen to much of your show.
	♥ 9:58am Tome: good morning home now listening ,,no where else I'd rather be !<>! and great that you're here too Joe !<>!
	♥ 9:58am Handy Haversack: Ha, @Kat: me too! Priorities!
	9:58am Jim Price: Joe, have you checked the station dope closet?
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @Jim: Still pretty fully stocked, Jim. Thanks for checking!
	♥ 9:59am Haiku Henry: Joe, Thanks for the lovely soundtrack while working from home.
	♥ 10:02am Roberto: Lolz I just remembered I had a dream last night that I was participating in some kind of martial arts tournament and Paul McCartney was one of the officiators.
	♥ 10:03am Irene Trudel: Too bad Cuomo hasn't been able to push through the recreational marijuana law. Wouldn’t that be considered an essential service?
	10:05am kevlicki: Handy Haversack- what, you don’t wanna live this life again?
	10:06am allantoronto: @Irene. Heh. Personally, I'm too close to a 'dispensary' and I have a lot of time on my hands, so as far as essential goes..um...what were we saying?
	♥ 10:06am Roberto: I'm all for legalization, but has anyone else noticed how much more NYC stanks since the laws were relaxed?
	♥ 10:07am dave wuz here: stockpile toilet paper and weed-just for shits and giggles
	♥ 10:07am Haiku Henry: Irene, same boat here in NJ. Murphy did deem medical dispensaries an essential service along with liquor stores. I assume the same in NY.
	10:08am ami ad: What is S.M Kens' ratio of Bleach to water?
	♥ 10:08am Handy Haversack: @dave wuz here: I declare it the jape of the season!
	♥ 10:09am dave wuz here: cough
	♥ 10:09am LW Rhino: @dav wuz here: That is some good advice.
	♥ 10:11am Kat in Chicago: @Roberto I have definitely noticed how much more my apartment building stanks since Illinois legalized it :) I don't partake at present, but I don't mind it.
	♥ 10:13am Roberto: I mind it. It's narsty. Sometimes I play a little game: skunk or weed?
	♥ 10:13am Crudbringer: Morning all. Full disclosure - not wearing a mask. Or pants.
	10:14am Irene: I was thoroughly enjoyed California's relaxed laws earlier this month. So nice to go to a dispensary to buy in small quantities as needed. In NYC, I have noticed an increase in aromas, which I find quite pleasant.
	♥ 10:14am Kat in Chicago: I would feel weird working without pants! I've been showering and everything.
	10:15am Irene: That's enjoying.
	10:15am kevlicki: @ami ad I hope he’s diluting somewhere around 1/3C bleach per gallon water 2T bleach per quart water
	♥ 10:16am Handy Haversack: What a great set, Joe!
	10:17am Irene: And speaking of enjoyment, I am thoroughly enjoying your show as always, Joe!
	♥ 10:17am Colleen: Love it...
	♥ 10:18am Handy Haversack: Alternative lyrics: "There's something red in Spanish olives ... How did they get it there? It doesn't seem quite fair That there should be a red thing where the pit once was ... But then it is quite tasty."
	10:18am allantoronto: Sing along now, There is no bumf in Spanish Harlem...
	♥ 10:18am melinda: @Irene I like catching a whiff on the streets these days too, except for the present virusy moment.
	♥ 10:18am Crudbringer: ...actually I am wearing pants. But not in my MIND. I don't bother showering until after I teach home-school P. E. class for my "lunch" break".
	♥ 10:18am Ken From Hyde Park: At 10:30, we'll find out the effects of bleach residue on 45 RPM records. Hopefully, it won't cause a drastic increase of surface noise.
	♥ 10:19am steveo: what's next, the Midtown Blues?
	10:19am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: Do not go downtown BTW.
	10:19am ?: Monkee reruns on ME-TV Sundays 5PM
	♥ 10:19am Andrew_in_WI: Nobody go downtown!!!
	♥ 10:19am Handy Haversack: Ach! Doontoon!
	♥ 10:19am TDK60: Was just listening to "public" radio news. If I heard them correctly, most, if not all, NYC buses will now be free.
	♥ 10:20am zivilars: Was shazaming this Ventures version of "Dowtown", got "Island In The Sun" from Weezer as result ...
	♥ 10:20am Handy Haversack: @TDK60: Right. Board from the back, no card swiping. Keep the drivers isolated.
	♥ 10:20am Crudbringer: Man, they killed OTA MeTV in Denver, and replaced it with some bullshit warmonger apologetics called "Heroes & Icons". Been rationing my recorded Svengoolies.
	♥ 10:20am zivilars: And before that even another wrong result I don't know – seems tricky for Shazam
	♥ 10:20am EG_Astro: @TDK true. You have to enter from the rear of the bus - so those are free. Select Service/express buses are still paid since you pay at a kiosk
	10:21am kevlicki: Tdk60- pandemics are getting the demands that the rads want, what next abolishing rent?!
	♥ 10:21am Ken From Hyde Park: I understand a side effect of the coronavirus is that the afflicted temporarily lose their sense of smell, so if you don't smell that smell, take precautions!
	10:22am Rachel Bo Bachel: Zivilars that rules! Joe I loved that Agincourt song, never heard of them. You are such a teacher!
	10:22am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Hey Joe. Thanks for board oping on Saturday.
	10:22am ami ad: @kevlicki: Thanks.Will that help with moldy situations too?
	♥ 10:22am Roberto: Well based on your all's opinions, I should have smoked more weed in college so I'd be more immune to the odor.
	10:23am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ooh, hi Todd. Fancy bumping into you here! :D
	♥ 10:23am TDK60: Hi Kevlicki. That's funny. My building put up notices in the elevator that they still want April rent. I don't know; maybe, maybe not......
	10:23am allantoronto: I'd like to temporarily lose my sense of hell.
	♥ 10:23am Irene Trudel: @TDK60, that's sort of true for NYC busses. People will be required to enter from the rear doors. But Select Bus service will still require a paid slip.
	10:23am rich: hey joe great to hear you live.
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: @RBR: It's a really nice record, as is the "Alice" record by the same two dudes, John Howell and John Fernandez (if memory serves!). @Todd: Great interview, Todd. Worth the re-hearing. @Irene: Always nice to have you here!
	♥ 10:24am EG_Astro: Don't pay rent
	♥ 10:26am TDK60: Thanks Irene and all. And on the SBS buses, anyway, you only have to show the stub if an MTA payment squad comes on board, which doesn't happen often.
	10:26am ami ad: Don't pay rent
	♥ 10:27am Brian in UK: Because of this crisis will Single File start on time?
	♥ 10:28am Creature Boy: Hello everyone
	10:29am Marley Dogg: joe - thanks for being on today and for the great tunes - yip yip 4ever
	♥ 10:29am Handy Haversack: Is the rent strike beginning?
	♥ 10:30am Brian in UK: Joe, which album is a good primer for Swamp Dogg?
	10:30am Neil M: Never tired of Swamp Dogg! I saw him live in Bklyn several years ago. There were about 12 people in the audience. When he closed the show with "Gotta Get a Message To You" the band outro'd as he stepped off stage and shook the hand of everyone in the audience. I loved it so much.
	10:31am Jeffrey Davison: Sooooo good to hear Joe's voice and Surface Noise today. Good morning all...
	♥ 10:31am EG_Astro: @handy I guess depends where you live, but it's best to do it collectively and start early.
	♥ 10:31am Roberto: I didn't realize Norma Tanega had passed. Rippy.
	10:32am ami ad: My absentee slumlord hasn't been getting rent in a year and a half and counting.Strike them down.
	10:32am Rachel Bo Bachel: Neil M cool story!
	♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: Agreed, @EG_Astro. I just get 98 percent of my news from these boards so wasn't sure where attitudes stood.
	♥ 10:34am suzyhotrod: J McG! Thank you for all you're doing for FMU right now. We're listening and so happy to hear you broadcasting live
	♥ 10:35am Kat in Chicago: PLAY IT EVERYBODY PLAY IT
	♥ 10:35am Faye: aw shucks thank you Joe!

	10:52am Rachel Bo Bachel: OOOoohh REM!! Thumbs up my favorite band :)
	♥ 10:52am Handy Haversack: Oh wow. The single soothingest thing you can do to my brain is just play the backing vocals from this song. Thanks, Joe. I love this so much.

	♥ 10:52am Baja Joe: Nice version of Maps & Legends
	♥ 10:53am βrian: I use the "dog bowl" method, which means stirring the beans in a stainless steel bowl while blasting them with a heat gun. It requires great ventilation.
	10:53am paul: The "Lollipop" Chordettes?
	♥ 10:53am Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn: LOVE R.E.M. (hometown heroes and all), Stipe is awesome and I really think he is one of "pop" music's greatest vocalists. Golden Palominos forever!
	♥ 10:53am Threemoons: Gorgeous song...
	10:53am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: Fables was and remains my favorite REM album. This version is the flip of “The One I Love” IIRC.

	♥ 10:59am Joe McG: Ronnie Wood's bass on this song sounds insane on the 45 coming out of the studio speakers.
	10:59am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: This Stones song was all over WABC radio back in ‘78.
	♥ 10:59am Hughie Considine: I've seen this track on several of the more optimistic mixes people have made recently, as opposed to mixes heavy on songs with dystopian or social distancing themes...
	♥ 10:59am steveo: disco stones is the best stones
	♥ 10:59am Threemoons: @Joe McG I love the sparseness of this song...especially the sax. I also think it's one of Jagger's more interesting vocal pieces...
	♥ 10:59am Woo: I love Emotional Rescue. A few other good songs on the LP. Does anybody know what's at the corner of W. 8th St. and 6th Avenue, referenced in the song Dance Pt. 2?

	♥ 11:00am Handy Haversack: Sending good wishes, @Threemoons. REM was my first concert -- then saw them twice more on the Green tour. Highlight was Drivin' 'n' Cryin' opening at the Fox Theater for the last gig of the tour.
	♥ 11:00am steveo: (maybe)
	♥ 11:00am Hughie Considine: @Jeff, close enough. Some Girls was '78, this was two years later.
	11:00am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: Oops I meant 1980. Time is a blur.
	11:00am Rachel Bo Bachel: Colleen do you think he’s playing this Stones for Clay? ;D
	11:01am garreto del ray: All good. Music of our lives... somebody's life, somewhere. Stipe latest solo sounded pretty good... moving somewhere, if not forward. Ok, look busy.

	♥ 11:09am Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn: Am I alone in not hearing anything? Last thing I heard was a needle skip at the end of Emotional Rescue, now just silence. Do I need to sanitize my browser?!?
	♥ 11:10am Owlex: oh i guess it was one year before tattoo you
	♥ 11:10am The Oscar: Love Salesman (though I'd be remiss in my film-critic duties if I didn't point out it's actually the Maysles brothers, not Wiseman). If you haven't seen it, Bill Hader and Fred Armisen did a great parody of it on Documentary Now!
	♥ 11:11am Crudbringer: @Itz yeah, maybe reboot all your Internet Things - streaming fine here in the Rocky Mountains. Right now Joe is talking about FMU lockdown & pledge info.
	♥ 11:11am Handy Haversack: @Itzall -- the surface noise and Surface Noise started back up right away for me after that song. Restart the stream?
	♥ 11:11am TDK60: The reason I ask is 6th Ave. & 8th St. used to be a kind of NYC Hyde Park. Political groups would set up card tables, leaflet and give speeches, argue with each other. Sometimes the cops would chase them away. I think that was in the '60s thru '70s but don't know if it lasted till around 1980's Emotional Rescue. A bit of old lost New York.
	11:11am allantoronto: that weird fey falsetto Otis Redding thing on Emotional Rescue is pretty special tho

	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: Yeah, that would make it all trickier, @chresti.

	♥ 11:20am The Oscar: First concert I "actively" went to was Weird Al when I was 14 (though my parents took me to jazz shows occasionally before that, and strictly speaking my first concert was probably Raffi on the Baby Beluga tour!)
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: @Kat: Yeah, you're right, Kat! At our best we're a bit, ah...sluggish!
	♥ 11:20am chresti: This track is relevant in the current state of affairs.
	11:20am garreto del ray: stencil works. then its authorized, approved and accepted... et-shit-al
	♥ 11:20am Colleen: This is a fun little mantra
	♥ 11:21am Kat in Chicago: I'm teasing, Joe, I think y'all do an amazing job. I think Bryce was to blame that year with his blender shirt premium! (which was worth the wait)
	♥ 11:21am chresti: re Shopping
	♥ 11:22am chresti: Joe, are you sheltering at the station?
	♥ 11:22am Colleen: Karen!! Ok ...Good!...I wont drink for my immune system!! (yet)
	♥ 11:23am Kat in Chicago: I certainly have plenty of WFMU-emblazoned items to display in the meantime, once we finally all get out and about again.
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: Thanks to everyone for you nice comments and for keeping WFMU going. We're doing the broadcasting, but the only reason we're here is because you allow us to be.
	11:23am HankyTee: Does my heart good to hear your talk-over music Joe! FMU will definitely help me and my crew get through this. Stay healthy and be safe. Thanks to all DJs whether they can do a live show or not. We love you all! Sorry to get sappy when the Au Pairs are playing. How embarrasso.
	11:24am Brian in UK: Chresti, got a streaming cold, beautiful weather and a lot of people do not believe in staying safe. We are thick, arrogant pricks sometimes.
	♥ 11:24am Kat in Chicago: LOL i was searching online for cable ties, the kind you tie cables with, yesterday and this band kept coming up! I wasn't even aware of their existence previously.
	♥ 11:25am paulincc: Amen, HankyTee!
	11:26am fred: @Kat: you trained your google well. Mark Hurst wouldn't approve, but it does help when looking up obscure bands with search-unfriendly names
	♥ 11:27am Crudbringer: (My official WFMU cable-knit tie arrived yesterday.)
	11:27am garreto del ray: dont know about anyone else but a fresh, real dj in real time is way better than canned or synthetic stuff. very organic.
	♥ 11:27am Ken From Hyde Park: Random thought - To get the station over the final $55k hump, one of the DJs can offer an extra biohazard pledge icon, similar to the ones available on the W&B, Matt, Michele, the Kens and Sheila shows.
	♥ 11:27am Kat in Chicago: I'm not moving any time soon - especially now - but I decided I had to deal with this since I'm home and stuff local.theonion.com...

	♥ 11:30am mariano: Those chords, that progression - I know it, dammit, just can't call it to mind. @Kat - yes, actually, that could well be it, thanks!
	♥ 11:30am chresti: BIUK,Yesterday I went to work (Griffith Park tennis courts, by the Greek Theatre), People came out in droves to hike on the trails, prompting the Mayor to tweet later that he's gonna shutdown all city parks and beaches.

	♥ 11:31am steveo: better than both of those, but yeah
	11:31am garreto del ray: chord vs. cords
	♥ 11:31am Handy Haversack: Relaying playlist updates to Kate who's exercising at the other end of the railroad and listening over FM. That Cable Ties was fantastic.
	♥ 11:31am bore: Joe, you rock. WFMU is my lighthouse in the storm.
	♥ 11:31am Franco Twinkie: Brian in UK, This morning I walked out into the early slanting sunlight and saw my breath. I was mortified to see how many particles of moisture were suspended in the air. My advice: RUN!
	11:32am fred: @mariano: that's one of things I hate about being old: sometimes half memories get in the way of enjoying the music as it's happening
	11:32am Nacho: Thank you, Joe!!
	♥ 11:32am mndave: Hadn't heard "Hope" until now but wow. Cable Ties "Sandcastles" is another earworm, too. I can hear a little of A Giant Dog and Savages in the vocals

	♥ 11:34am mariano: @fred - yeah, the amount of stuff to remember once you're past a certain age gets to be too much.
	♥ 11:35am Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn: Dear Cruddy & Handy, thanks- I reloaded and now I've got all the joe I need, as the lord intended. Just in time for PVA! So hard to telecommute, stream, facebook and pet the cat whilst drinking home brewed coffee, but I'm trying.
	♥ 11:36am chresti: steveo, yes, it's a smooth fade-in, instead of a jump.
	♥ 11:36am Owlex: @mndave the worst part about a giant dog is that it occupies all the guitarist time away from tear dungeon. imo a way better band
	♥ 11:36am Kat in Chicago: @paul I haven't had cable TV for almost ten years now, but I have a bunch of rather nice video cables it seems wrong to throw away or even to bring in for recycling. Wondering if there's somewhere to donate them?

	9:04am Deborah: Radio!!! Anyone hear Michael Stipe's "Drive to the Ocean," in part a homage to radio. Echoes of Leonard Cohen, in a way.

	9:05am Deborah: Live Radio is meaningful, especially now!
	♥ 9:05am Andrew Waterloo: Morning :)
	9:06am John from Florham park: @Coleen did you get my message about Therese show from yesterday

	♥ 9:11am David (in London): @John - We are lining up a photo session for midweek. Your full ceremonial robes will be needed. Then you can sign the photos with inspiring messages, to be sent out as morale-boosters in these trying times.
	♥ 9:11am bore: good morning WFMU <3
	♥ 9:11am Baja Joe: Drove my son to his apparently "essential service" job this morning to keep him off public transportation. Noticed the roads were quite crowded at 0615 hours. Can't imagine all these drivers are part of the "essential services" crowd. Very strange to see as I was expecting empty streets on Staten Island.
	♥ 9:12am porchy: Hola Mcgasko & co
	♥ 9:12am Andrew_in_WI: Is this Surface noise fresh, or canned?
	9:12am John from Florham park: @DIL sounds good

	♥ 9:14am Handy Haversack: Morning, @porchy!
	♥ 9:15am Hughie Considine: Harmonia is heavenly! Greetings, (well-scrubbed) Surface Noise fans...
	♥ 9:15am porchy: Morning Handy! Laying in bed frozen and staring at fmu message boards while listening is one of most comforting things to do these days
	♥ 9:15am The Oscar: Mornin' all! Live shows are such a comfort, and Surface Noise doubly so-- godspeed brave skeletons!
	9:16am Earth Walker: P20 thanks for the link I remember the Monkeys on TV when I was a kid
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: Nice, Porchy. Like an idiot, I just start working as soon as I'm up and scrubbed. Trying to remind myself to stop early.
	♥ 9:16am Andrew Waterloo: Certainly is a good start to my work-from-home-day
	♥ 9:16am p20: @Baja Joe: Streets seem pretty quiet here in Chicago. Maybe Midwesterners are better at following orders?
	♥ 9:16am porchy: Thanx for being there joe I look forward to stuffing envelopes with you guys asap
	9:18am Ben: Does anyone know that song where it keeps repeating the lyric wah wah wichita or something that sounds like that. It’s definitely been played on wfmu
	♥ 9:18am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Think the next few weeks will have some of the busiest comments boards for the last ten years.
	♥ 9:18am Andrew_in_WI: @Joe McG that's what I like to hear!
	♥ 9:18am David (in London): Yeah, thanks for keeping the live flag flying high Joe. We surely do all appreciate it.

	9:19am P-90: Thanks for the live-ness, Joe.
	♥ 9:19am Brian in UK: @David (in London), new album? Could I suggest 'To Meet Us Apart'.
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, it's pretty remarkable. Usually, there's a hardy crew who are up this early for the start of the show, but most drop by somewhere in the middle. Nice to have you all here!
	9:20am John from Florham park: @BIUK I think last Monday was the start of busy comment boards
	♥ 9:20am TDK60: Hats off to the skeletons in the radio office towers.
	♥ 9:20am p20: @Earth Walker: I grew up with the Monkees on TV. At the end of the show, when they sang "We may be comin' to your town!" I always got excited - the Monkees are coming to Sleepytown, NJ to spread their high-spirited antics! Hooray! But they never showed up. That may have been the beginning of my disillusionment and loss of innocence.
	♥ 9:20am LastWhiteRhino: Maybe everyone on the skeleton crew should get a new radio name. Joe how about "T-bone" ,for you? T-bone-T-bone,T-bone !!!
	♥ 9:21am Roberto: We have the Tone Deaf Award winner for the year. Someone in my company just sent an email to the entire IT team with the subject line "VIRUS." Can you all guess what it was about?
	♥ 9:21am David (in London): Hey Brian. That's actually a good shout. I'm going to jot that one down for later.
	♥ 9:21am Gord: @Baja — Here from my vantage on Ocean Parkway — one of the main drags in Brooklyn — there are still too many cars rolling.
	9:23am ben abs: Thanks for being here Joe. Afternoon David! Morning TDK & Handy Hope you are All doing well
	♥ 9:23am djsheilab: Hey Joe! Lovely opening set. Appreciate you more than ever on this solitary Monday morning!
	♥ 9:24am Ken From Hyde Park: 206 bones in the human skeleton. At three shifts per day, we run out of bones in fewer than ten weeks.
	♥ 9:25am TDK60: Hey there Ben Abs. Out west in Stroud?
	♥ 9:25am David (in London): Hey Ben. Are you in Stroud now?
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: @Ken -- let's organize a bone drive.
	♥ 9:25am porchy: Mornin SheilaB - great remote show on Friday
	♥ 9:25am zivilars: Just tuning in ... Hi everybody, stay safe – and thanks for the show, Joe. Don't know if you're a proud member of the skeleton crew, broadcasting from home or pre-recorded this show – in any case, it's good to at least still have those little constants in life like favourite WFMU shows
	9:25am John from Florham park: @Djsheilab great show on Friday as usual, will you do a live show from your kitchen?
	♥ 9:26am Handy Haversack: Hey, Ben! Doing OK. Standing. Working. Hearing. Grooving. You good?
	♥ 9:26am Irene Trudel: Yes, big hugs to Joe, Station Manager Ken for keeping our WFMU lifeline going!
	9:26am John from Florham park: @Ben abs morning
	♥ 9:26am Brian in UK: David (in London) it is beautiful here. Unfortunately I have had a cold since last Friday. Yes folks, colds are still permitted. Fired up the rotavator to turn over the allotment. What larks, Pip.
	9:26am Earth Walker: p20. I went from the Monkeys to the Grateful Dead LSD Oh those damn Monkeys !!!
	♥ 9:27am TDK60: Joe is part of the live radio skeleton crew. Ken listed 6 or 7 folks as part of that.
	♥ 9:27am Handy Haversack: @Brian, yeah, Kate's had a cold, too. Insult to injury, eh?
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: Sheila's show on Friday was really special. Be sure to check out the archive.
	9:28am Dennis Diken: Good morning to Joe & everybody! great to be here with you all
	♥ 9:28am LastWhiteRhino: @djsheilab: Happy Nowruz !
	♥ 9:28am zivilars: @TDK60: Thanks for the info. Things can't go to normal soon enough for me, but I guess it will still take a while ...
	9:28am Earth Walker: Hi TDK 60
	9:28am Rachel Bo Bachel: Stay safe Joe McG and everyone! Thank you for the beautiful music today and every Monday!
	9:29am John from Florham park: @Jie mcG more the usual, you are all stepping up your game
	♥ 9:29am TDK60: Bon jour Earth Walker.
	♥ 9:29am melinda: I've been having difficulty getting up and maintaining any kind of schedule but since I need to go grocery shopping and don't know what to expect when I arrive I'm trying to get my ass in gear and not dilly-dally.
	♥ 9:29am duke: Hi Joe. Wonderful to hear you
	9:30am Doug C.: @Joe McG I heard Shelia's show and have listened to it three times. It really is a special show.
	♥ 9:31am EG_Astro: A sort of schedule will happen @melinda, and then some days it just wont. I couldn't force it last week. Hope today is easier for you and kind to yourself.
	♥ 9:31am Handy Haversack: @melinda, probably best to do it early and steal a march on most folks.
	♥ 9:31am Brian in UK: I think that WFMU is really lucky to have finished the marathon when it did. Just a few more nudges to get over the line but please stop $5 dollars short. Much as I think that Ken is above reproach there are some things that.....
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: @Doug C: She's the greatest. I mean you, Sheila!
	9:32am John from Florham park: @Melinda still on my pjs and just want to go back to bed but alas no, got to get to the post office
	♥ 9:33am Roberto: Well it wasn't about COVID-19, I'll tell you that much.
	♥ 9:33am David (in London): @Brian - Yes, it is absolutely glorious here too. A proper Spring day.
	♥ 9:34am melinda: @Handy that's the idea, shopping for lower-risk people starts in 27 minutes at my co-op! Most anxious about egg supply.
	9:34am ben abs: @David TDK Handy, yep bunkering down out west, taking the dog up the hills to get some well distanced fresh air occasionally. FMU is actually really helpful as some semblance of normal routine during strange times. Hola Gohn, hope all is well in Florham park. @Brian, where you based?
	9:34am kevlicki: Good morning Joe and all!
	9:34am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: If the station smells like bleach you could pretend that you are sitting by the pool (now closed).
	♥ 9:34am Listener Robert: Yay, skeletons!
	9:35am Barbie: Hi Joe glad you are live
	♥ 9:35am Roberto: My apartment smells like wood stain. I'm building a bookcase.
	9:35am MplsCoco: Slap that body!
	♥ 9:35am Handy Haversack: Why you hitting yourself, Joe? Why you hitting yourself?!
	♥ 9:35am dave wuz here: we have flesh slap varification
	♥ 9:36am Ken From Hyde Park: @melinda - Try to remain one JRU (Joe Ramone Unit) away from your fellow shoppers.
	9:36am robyn and 6-yr old mini glistener ajax: hi joe, sending good vibes from pa to you all:)
	9:36am Santos L Halper: @Ben 9:18- That's probably Wichi-Tai-To. Many versions, most great (never mind what Irwin thinks); Ken played the Jim Pepper one last Wednesday. Morning Joe, nice to hear you!
	9:37am Ben: Ah thx!!!
	9:37am ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all.Good to hear a live and direct show.Power to the D.J's and skeleton crew,and the station that's helping it go thru.Thanks much .

	9:38am Andy: Thank you for doing what you do, Joe. It’s so nice to hear a voice in real time. #live :)
	♥ 9:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Sounds like an alien trying to pass in polite society. "My name is…Dave. Dave…uhhhh…HUMAN."
	♥ 9:39am melinda: @Ken haha, I'll try, but it's a small store. Wish I had a mask.
	♥ 9:39am Rob W: New Cornershop!!!!!!!!
	9:40am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: Love the new Cornershop record!
	♥ 9:40am Brian in UK: melinda, I hear that balaclavas are the must have this Spring.

	♥ 9:41am iiibeat: I believe that an actual ship was moved across an actual mountain for the filming.
	♥ 9:41am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning! Great song to tune in to
	♥ 9:41am Greg from ZONE 5: Also thanks for being there, Joe!

	♥ 9:43am Matt Fiveash: Yes! All time H&M top ten.
	♥ 9:43am Greg from ZONE 5: Faye can actually sing. That's cheating!
	♥ 9:43am Woo: While this March feels like the longest month ever, next week is April. Project forward. As Criswell said in Plan 9 from Outer Space, we are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
	9:43am kevlicki: WFMU is an essential service. I think the Democrats blocked the aid package because there wasn’t enough support for WFMU in it
	9:44am wendy del formaggio: Sing it, Faye!
	♥ 9:44am TDK60: Darn, was outta the room during the new Cornershop.
	♥ 9:45am Greg from ZONE 5: @Woo: And future events such as these will affect YOU in the future!

	♥ 9:46am steveo: many great songs and a lot of comments, human
	♥ 9:46am TDK60: ..but there are the WFMU archives, turning out to be very helpful too in this current situation.
	♥ 9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks to (I presume) Scott Williams for disinfecting the New Bin over the weekend.
	9:47am member of Human: HehHehe seems very nice thankS
	♥ 9:48am steveo: Joe, you're not living at the station, are you? You still go home sometimes, right?
	♥ 9:51am LW Rhino: Today's show is even more soothing than usual.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @steveo: Oh, sure. WFMU to home, home to WFMU, repeat. I'm happy to have somewhere else to go.
	♥ 9:53am Handy Haversack: How do the streets of JC look, @Joe McG?
	9:53am allantoronto: Sunshine Pop with a catastrophe theme. A hedged bet.
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: @Handy: There are people around. Some telephone crew seems to be working at the back of the building. The post office is humming as usual.
	♥ 9:53am steveo: that's good -- yeah, most of us have nowhere to go, i think
	♥ 9:54am Handy Haversack: Can't wait till we can come back out and help again, @Joe! Will be a triumph.
	♥ 9:55am Rob W: Thanks Handy Haversack and all our illustrious volunteers!
	♥ 9:56am David (in London): Hope you're managing to maintain 1 JRu on your commute Joe. (Joey Ramone has here been made the official unit of social distancing following Handy's suggestion).
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: @David: I drive here so I'm socially isolated even in my car.
	♥ 9:57am Handy Haversack: Gotta think that was "we frack the Earth" in both resource-extraction and Battlestar Galactica senses. @David: I think the JRu was invented on yet another accu board last week some time -- but I am happy to propagate the message. I, for one, don't want to be buried in a pet sematary.
	♥ 9:58am Kat in Chicago: Great to hear you, Joe. I signed into WFMU before I signed into my work email - priorities! I normally don't get to listen to much of your show.
	♥ 9:58am Tome: good morning home now listening ,,no where else I'd rather be !<>! and great that you're here too Joe !<>!
	♥ 9:58am Handy Haversack: Ha, @Kat: me too! Priorities!
	9:58am Jim Price: Joe, have you checked the station dope closet?
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: @Jim: Still pretty fully stocked, Jim. Thanks for checking!
	♥ 9:59am Haiku Henry: Joe, Thanks for the lovely soundtrack while working from home.
	♥ 10:02am Roberto: Lolz I just remembered I had a dream last night that I was participating in some kind of martial arts tournament and Paul McCartney was one of the officiators.
	♥ 10:03am Irene Trudel: Too bad Cuomo hasn't been able to push through the recreational marijuana law. Wouldn’t that be considered an essential service?
	10:05am kevlicki: Handy Haversack- what, you don’t wanna live this life again?
	10:06am allantoronto: @Irene. Heh. Personally, I'm too close to a 'dispensary' and I have a lot of time on my hands, so as far as essential goes..um...what were we saying?
	♥ 10:06am Roberto: I'm all for legalization, but has anyone else noticed how much more NYC stanks since the laws were relaxed?
	♥ 10:07am dave wuz here: stockpile toilet paper and weed-just for shits and giggles
	♥ 10:07am Haiku Henry: Irene, same boat here in NJ. Murphy did deem medical dispensaries an essential service along with liquor stores. I assume the same in NY.
	10:08am ami ad: What is S.M Kens' ratio of Bleach to water?
	♥ 10:08am Handy Haversack: @dave wuz here: I declare it the jape of the season!
	♥ 10:09am dave wuz here: cough
	♥ 10:09am LW Rhino: @dav wuz here: That is some good advice.
	♥ 10:11am Kat in Chicago: @Roberto I have definitely noticed how much more my apartment building stanks since Illinois legalized it :) I don't partake at present, but I don't mind it.
	♥ 10:13am Roberto: I mind it. It's narsty. Sometimes I play a little game: skunk or weed?
	♥ 10:13am Crudbringer: Morning all. Full disclosure - not wearing a mask. Or pants.
	10:14am Irene: I was thoroughly enjoyed California's relaxed laws earlier this month. So nice to go to a dispensary to buy in small quantities as needed. In NYC, I have noticed an increase in aromas, which I find quite pleasant.
	♥ 10:14am Kat in Chicago: I would feel weird working without pants! I've been showering and everything.
	10:15am Irene: That's enjoying.
	10:15am kevlicki: @ami ad I hope he’s diluting somewhere around 1/3C bleach per gallon water 2T bleach per quart water
	♥ 10:16am Handy Haversack: What a great set, Joe!
	10:17am Irene: And speaking of enjoyment, I am thoroughly enjoying your show as always, Joe!
	♥ 10:17am Colleen: Love it...
	♥ 10:18am Handy Haversack: Alternative lyrics: "There's something red in Spanish olives ... How did they get it there? It doesn't seem quite fair That there should be a red thing where the pit once was ... But then it is quite tasty."
	10:18am allantoronto: Sing along now, There is no bumf in Spanish Harlem...
	♥ 10:18am melinda: @Irene I like catching a whiff on the streets these days too, except for the present virusy moment.
	♥ 10:18am Crudbringer: ...actually I am wearing pants. But not in my MIND. I don't bother showering until after I teach home-school P. E. class for my "lunch" break".
	♥ 10:18am Ken From Hyde Park: At 10:30, we'll find out the effects of bleach residue on 45 RPM records. Hopefully, it won't cause a drastic increase of surface noise.

	♥ 10:19am Handy Haversack: Ach! Doontoon!
	♥ 10:19am TDK60: Was just listening to "public" radio news. If I heard them correctly, most, if not all, NYC buses will now be free.
	♥ 10:20am zivilars: Was shazaming this Ventures version of "Dowtown", got "Island In The Sun" from Weezer as result ...
	♥ 10:20am Handy Haversack: @TDK60: Right. Board from the back, no card swiping. Keep the drivers isolated.
	♥ 10:20am Crudbringer: Man, they killed OTA MeTV in Denver, and replaced it with some bullshit warmonger apologetics called "Heroes & Icons". Been rationing my recorded Svengoolies.
	♥ 10:20am zivilars: And before that even another wrong result I don't know – seems tricky for Shazam
	♥ 10:20am EG_Astro: @TDK true. You have to enter from the rear of the bus - so those are free. Select Service/express buses are still paid since you pay at a kiosk
	10:21am kevlicki: Tdk60- pandemics are getting the demands that the rads want, what next abolishing rent?!
	♥ 10:21am Ken From Hyde Park: I understand a side effect of the coronavirus is that the afflicted temporarily lose their sense of smell, so if you don't smell that smell, take precautions!
	10:22am Rachel Bo Bachel: Zivilars that rules! Joe I loved that Agincourt song, never heard of them. You are such a teacher!
	10:22am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Hey Joe. Thanks for board oping on Saturday.
	10:22am ami ad: @kevlicki: Thanks.Will that help with moldy situations too?
	♥ 10:22am Roberto: Well based on your all's opinions, I should have smoked more weed in college so I'd be more immune to the odor.
	10:23am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ooh, hi Todd. Fancy bumping into you here! :D
	♥ 10:23am TDK60: Hi Kevlicki. That's funny. My building put up notices in the elevator that they still want April rent. I don't know; maybe, maybe not......
	10:23am allantoronto: I'd like to temporarily lose my sense of hell.
	♥ 10:23am Irene Trudel: @TDK60, that's sort of true for NYC busses. People will be required to enter from the rear doors. But Select Bus service will still require a paid slip.
	10:23am rich: hey joe great to hear you live.
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: @RBR: It's a really nice record, as is the "Alice" record by the same two dudes, John Howell and John Fernandez (if memory serves!). @Todd: Great interview, Todd. Worth the re-hearing. @Irene: Always nice to have you here!
	♥ 10:24am EG_Astro: Don't pay rent
	♥ 10:26am TDK60: Thanks Irene and all. And on the SBS buses, anyway, you only have to show the stub if an MTA payment squad comes on board, which doesn't happen often.

	♥ 10:30am Brian in UK: Joe, which album is a good primer for Swamp Dogg?
	10:30am Neil M: Never tired of Swamp Dogg! I saw him live in Bklyn several years ago. There were about 12 people in the audience. When he closed the show with "Gotta Get a Message To You" the band outro'd as he stepped off stage and shook the hand of everyone in the audience. I loved it so much.
	10:31am Jeffrey Davison: Sooooo good to hear Joe's voice and Surface Noise today. Good morning all...

	10:32am Rachel Bo Bachel: Neil M cool story!

	♥ 10:45am steveo: my dear spouse is a preschool teacher and is currently teleconferencing with her class; sounds fun
	10:46am tim from Champaign: That’s right, Joe. Send ‘em to church!

	♥ 10:51am Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn: Dear Brian, if you roast-your-own, what method or equipment do you use? I have access to "green" java beans at our farmers' market, but have no clue how to make them brew ready.
	10:52am Rachel Bo Bachel: OOOoohh REM!! Thumbs up my favorite band :)
	♥ 10:52am Handy Haversack: Oh wow. The single soothingest thing you can do to my brain is just play the backing vocals from this song. Thanks, Joe. I love this so much.
	♥ 10:52am Jeff Golick: Stipe had a moving, sweet ig video making the rounds recently. Hi, Joe, Jovians.
	♥ 10:52am suzyhotrod: Johnny has yelled from the other room "ooh! he's playing REM!"
	10:52am Wilson in SO: Oh my sweet Jebus I know time's tough but why am I hearing so much R.E.M. on WFMU???
	♥ 10:52am Baja Joe: Nice version of Maps & Legends
	♥ 10:53am βrian: I use the "dog bowl" method, which means stirring the beans in a stainless steel bowl while blasting them with a heat gun. It requires great ventilation.
	10:53am paul: The "Lollipop" Chordettes?
	♥ 10:53am Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn: LOVE R.E.M. (hometown heroes and all), Stipe is awesome and I really think he is one of "pop" music's greatest vocalists. Golden Palominos forever!
	♥ 10:53am Threemoons: Gorgeous song...
	10:53am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: Fables was and remains my favorite REM album. This version is the flip of “The One I Love” IIRC.
	♥ 10:54am Maggie B.: Thank you for playing this REM, Joe.
	10:54am Bill W: Greetings Joe and all. REM fine with me.
	♥ 10:54am steveo: LIVE 45

	♥ 10:55am Threemoons: I need this to stay calm. First day on a long-fought-for new permanent (allegedly) gig. Got an email from HR, reached out to my new bosses, and so far...no pingback since 9 AM. also found out that the pharmacy can't deliver one of my 2 meds as it's a controlled substance...sigh...trying not to stress.
	10:55am paul: @Joe: Wow!
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Wilson: If you hated the R.E.M., you're really gonna hate the 45 I have left to end with. Sorry!

	10:58am Earth Walker: Stones. Turn up the volume
	♥ 10:58am Colleen: Always a fav!
	♥ 10:58am steveo: one step ahead of you, ew
	♥ 10:58am Threemoons: I love me some REM. Actually just listened to the Chronic Town EP for the first time in ages last night. Also digging this Stones.
	♥ 10:59am Joe McG: Ronnie Wood's bass on this song sounds insane on the 45 coming out of the studio speakers.
	10:59am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: This Stones song was all over WABC radio back in ‘78.
	♥ 10:59am Hughie Considine: I've seen this track on several of the more optimistic mixes people have made recently, as opposed to mixes heavy on songs with dystopian or social distancing themes...
	♥ 10:59am steveo: disco stones is the best stones
	♥ 10:59am Threemoons: @Joe McG I love the sparseness of this song...especially the sax. I also think it's one of Jagger's more interesting vocal pieces...
	♥ 10:59am Woo: I love Emotional Rescue. A few other good songs on the LP. Does anybody know what's at the corner of W. 8th St. and 6th Avenue, referenced in the song Dance Pt. 2?
	10:59am Glorious Estephonic: THank you thank you thank you thank you thank you <3 <3 <3
	♥ 11:00am Handy Haversack: Sending good wishes, @Threemoons. REM was my first concert -- then saw them twice more on the Green tour. Highlight was Drivin' 'n' Cryin' opening at the Fox Theater for the last gig of the tour.
	♥ 11:00am steveo: (maybe)
	♥ 11:00am Hughie Considine: @Jeff, close enough. Some Girls was '78, this was two years later.
	11:00am Jeff Formerly from Rahway: Oops I meant 1980. Time is a blur.
	11:00am Rachel Bo Bachel: Colleen do you think he’s playing this Stones for Clay? ;D
	11:01am garreto del ray: All good. Music of our lives... somebody's life, somewhere. Stipe latest solo sounded pretty good... moving somewhere, if not forward. Ok, look busy.
	11:01am stevieray: Whole Emotional Rescue album sounds so good, beginning to end
	♥ 11:01am jillydg: Love it!
	♥ 11:01am karlward: Joe this Stones needs to be played at 33.

	♥ 11:02am jillydg: ahhhhhhhhhmouuuuuur
	11:02am allantoronto: Black And Blue was such a great record
	11:02am garreto del ray: stones disco period
	♥ 11:03am suzyhotrod: @Jeff Golick! Have you downloaded digital pinball on your phone yet to scratch the itch of our hand/germ intense hobby we need to refrain from for the time being?
	♥ 11:03am Brian in UK: Charlie Watts holds all the Stones music together.
	♥ 11:03am Krista with a K: Some Girls will always be my favorite Stones album.

	♥ 11:04am Threemoons: Thank you @Handy

	11:04am garreto del ray: disco period- follow the bass line... and the money
	11:04am Glorious Estephonic: REM was my first concert in the 6th grade ! with my whole family of 8 !
	11:06am paul: My first concert was Faces (with Ron Wood!)
	♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: That "Radio Free Europe" one week and one day (!!!!) ago was AMAZING! That is NOT and easy song. I have karaoke-ruined it many, many times.
	11:07am garreto del ray: jagger was doing more of a BeeGees falsie on that one. definite period item
	♥ 11:07am Stevel: My first concert was The Who, McNichols Arena in Denver.
	♥ 11:08am Stevel: 1976
	♥ 11:08am Owlex: sounds like it would of fitted perfectly on tattoo you
	♥ 11:09am Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn: Am I alone in not hearing anything? Last thing I heard was a needle skip at the end of Emotional Rescue, now just silence. Do I need to sanitize my browser?!?
	♥ 11:10am Owlex: oh i guess it was one year before tattoo you
	♥ 11:10am The Oscar: Love Salesman (though I'd be remiss in my film-critic duties if I didn't point out it's actually the Maysles brothers, not Wiseman). If you haven't seen it, Bill Hader and Fred Armisen did a great parody of it on Documentary Now!
	♥ 11:11am Crudbringer: @Itz yeah, maybe reboot all your Internet Things - streaming fine here in the Rocky Mountains. Right now Joe is talking about FMU lockdown & pledge info.
	♥ 11:11am Handy Haversack: @Itzall -- the surface noise and Surface Noise started back up right away for me after that song. Restart the stream?
	♥ 11:11am TDK60: The reason I ask is 6th Ave. & 8th St. used to be a kind of NYC Hyde Park. Political groups would set up card tables, leaflet and give speeches, argue with each other. Sometimes the cops would chase them away. I think that was in the '60s thru '70s but don't know if it lasted till around 1980's Emotional Rescue. A bit of old lost New York.
	11:11am allantoronto: that weird fey falsetto Otis Redding thing on Emotional Rescue is pretty special tho
	♥ 11:11am chresti: Morning Joe and noisy surfaces, from San Gabriel, CA

	♥ 11:15am Colleen: What is time
	♥ 11:15am dave wuz here: swag- i kinda feel like my wfmu t shirt is a frivolous thing to burden the delivery systems with at the moment. my ups /postal guy deserves the lightest load possible to reduce transmission contacts.
	♥ 11:15am TDK60: Woo, well 8th St. & 6th Ave is in the heart of the Village, lotsa bohemians. And the Stones showed up too, huh.
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: Yeah, that would make it all trickier, @chresti.
	♥ 11:15am Carmichael: If Franco imagined a couch, then the drugs must have been great!

	11:17am garreto del ray: maybe we can DIY our own swag-shirt and swag-stuff
	♥ 11:17am Mike Sin: Joe -- can't thank you enough for keeping WFMU rolling on with live content. WFMU is so important right now.
	11:17am karen eliot: @collene it’s 4pm somewhere. mimosas are delicious. not to be discouraging or preachy but it’s not good for the immune system.
	♥ 11:18am Brian in UK: Hello chresti.
	♥ 11:18am Owlex: a printable stencil would be rad
	♥ 11:18am chresti: Thanks for keeping the flame going, Joe! Hello Brian.
	♥ 11:18am Kat in Chicago: I mean, it's not like I haven't waited till August for my swag before :) seriously, no rush! (in fairness, it showed up quite promptly last year.)
	♥ 11:19am dave wuz here: swag pt 2- plus, i am sure some pledge $ will dissappear as people make hard choices. better the station keep the postage $ at this point
	♥ 11:19am chresti: ..in UK, howzit going_
	♥ 11:20am The Oscar: First concert I "actively" went to was Weird Al when I was 14 (though my parents took me to jazz shows occasionally before that, and strictly speaking my first concert was probably Raffi on the Baby Beluga tour!)
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: @Kat: Yeah, you're right, Kat! At our best we're a bit, ah...sluggish!
	♥ 11:20am chresti: This track is relevant in the current state of affairs.
	11:20am garreto del ray: stencil works. then its authorized, approved and accepted... et-shit-al
	♥ 11:20am Colleen: This is a fun little mantra
	♥ 11:21am Kat in Chicago: I'm teasing, Joe, I think y'all do an amazing job. I think Bryce was to blame that year with his blender shirt premium! (which was worth the wait)
	♥ 11:21am chresti: re Shopping
	♥ 11:22am chresti: Joe, are you sheltering at the station?
	♥ 11:22am Colleen: Karen!! Ok ...Good!...I wont drink for my immune system!! (yet)
	♥ 11:23am Kat in Chicago: I certainly have plenty of WFMU-emblazoned items to display in the meantime, once we finally all get out and about again.
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: Thanks to everyone for you nice comments and for keeping WFMU going. We're doing the broadcasting, but the only reason we're here is because you allow us to be.
	11:23am HankyTee: Does my heart good to hear your talk-over music Joe! FMU will definitely help me and my crew get through this. Stay healthy and be safe. Thanks to all DJs whether they can do a live show or not. We love you all! Sorry to get sappy when the Au Pairs are playing. How embarrasso.
	11:24am Brian in UK: Chresti, got a streaming cold, beautiful weather and a lot of people do not believe in staying safe. We are thick, arrogant pricks sometimes.
	♥ 11:24am Kat in Chicago: LOL i was searching online for cable ties, the kind you tie cables with, yesterday and this band kept coming up! I wasn't even aware of their existence previously.
	♥ 11:25am paulincc: Amen, HankyTee!
	11:26am fred: @Kat: you trained your google well. Mark Hurst wouldn't approve, but it does help when looking up obscure bands with search-unfriendly names
	♥ 11:27am Crudbringer: (My official WFMU cable-knit tie arrived yesterday.)
	11:27am garreto del ray: dont know about anyone else but a fresh, real dj in real time is way better than canned or synthetic stuff. very organic.
	♥ 11:27am Ken From Hyde Park: Random thought - To get the station over the final $55k hump, one of the DJs can offer an extra biohazard pledge icon, similar to the ones available on the W&B, Matt, Michele, the Kens and Sheila shows.
	♥ 11:27am Kat in Chicago: I'm not moving any time soon - especially now - but I decided I had to deal with this since I'm home and stuff local.theonion.com...
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: Dag, Joe, this set is great.
	11:28am Brendan: This reminds me of the pretenders.
	♥ 11:29am Kat in Chicago: Not a bad idea, KFHP
	♥ 11:29am mariano: Oh, who does this Cable Ties remind me of?!?!?
	11:29am tim from Champaign: Thanks again Joe for keeping the station rolling! I’m going to dip out for a while. See everybody later!
	♥ 11:30am TDK60: Kevlicki (earlier), a rent strike sounds like a good idea.
	♥ 11:30am Kat in Chicago: I'm thinking Sleater-Kinney a lil bit?
