	♥ 9:01am David (in London): Get the Yippers high they get hipper. Hey Joe.
	9:02am Listener Bop Monroe: greetings from cloudy Tannersville Mr. JM. "raydeeeo!"
	♥ 9:02am Marley P. Dogg: As many times as Fenton has heard the yips, he is now barking at them
	♥ 9:03am Krys O.: Greetings!
	♥ 9:03am melinda: Howdy friends!
	♥ 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy happy!
	♥ 9:04am Deborah: Radio Radio!!
	9:06am Andrew in Toronto: Good morning Joe and all others.
	♥ 9:07am zopa: A fine use of the tambourine. Hi Joe!
	♥ 9:08am The Oscar: The opening set of Surface Noise always sounds different, but it's always the exact centering moment that's needed on a Monday morning. This is so good.
	♥ 9:10am a polished polish lady: Good morning surfers
	♥ 9:10am Joe McG: Ooh, I like that: "centering." Thanks, Oscar, and thanks everyone for tuning in today. Welcome to the program.
	9:11am KWilde: Good morning Joe and fellow listeners!
	♥ 9:14am Handy Haversack: Joe, the swag arrived! I'm en-Blockheaded as we speak. Thanks!
	♥ 9:15am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.
	♥ 9:15am TDK60: Morning Joe and Surfacers. They say it's Monday but I'm not so sure, it has a ring of truthiness to it, but...
	♥ 9:16am 12539: Great big belated yips!
	♥ 9:17am Brian in UK: TDK60, it is Monday I just got a new pair of glasses.
	♥ 9:17am Joe McG: @Handy: Great to hear! I packed it meself!
	♥ 9:18am The Oscar: Got my Blockhead shirt as well-- I make a point of wearing it on the rare days that I leave the house!
	♥ 9:19am Brian in UK: "Whatever he (Joe) brings we listen to". Apologies to Kevin Ayres.
	♥ 9:19am YETI BOB: blockhead shirt is so great
	♥ 9:21am TDK60: Hi Brian in UK with the new glasses.
	♥ 9:22am Handy Haversack: The extra care was clear, Joe!
	♥ 9:22am melinda: Hired Hand score is so good
	♥ 9:22am Joe McG: Big Secret: In the office, we all thought Sonic Bloom would be the more popular shirt of the two on offer this fall, but Blockheads was the hit. Tell me what you guys dig about it.
	♥ 9:22am karlward: Mustard yellow forever
	♥ 9:22am a polished polish lady: It's a really fun print, and on yellow!
	♥ 9:23am YETI BOB: @joe: its totally out of style, a relic from the 70s, just like me
	♥ 9:23am TDK60: The great Bruce L. was Mr. Tambourine Man.
	♥ 9:23am Marley P. Dogg: I think the block heads are so popular because they spread joy
	♥ 9:23am 12539: Blockheads is a great color, and the art is stupidly smart.
	♥ 9:23am Joe McG: Ha ha, Yeti Bob. I think these are all wonderful reasons.
	♥ 9:24am YETI BOB: @joe: and the JAZZ HANDS
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: One reason I leaned Blockheads over Sonic Bloom is that, as lovely as the design is on SB, the details can only be seen up close and personal (i.e., well within one health-conscious JRu). Blockheads proclaims its coolness from a healthy distance and backs it up with the suggestion of actual movement. Also: yes, JAZZ HANDS!
	♥ 9:25am 12539: In some way the speakerheads remind me of the old Big Fig Newton commercial.
	♥ 9:26am Handy Haversack: A soupçon of Kool-Aid Man as well.
	♥ 9:26am YETI BOB: it's funny that we're calling them blockheads. look again - they are headless, those blocks are their bodies! wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:27am Handy Haversack: I think their arms and legs just grow out of their heads, YB.
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: Hm, Kool-Aid Man. I think you may have something there!
	♥ 9:29am wizard frog: in light of spreading joy, I recently discovered pickled mustard seed sauce goes insanely well with baked fish and/or fried veg - and I mean insanely well
	♥ 9:31am YETI BOB: also i love that they are big old heavy bulky "real" speakers ... not some dinky bluetooth toys like the kids listen to these days. (i'm listening to the station on a pair of JBL L112's)
	♥ 9:31am listener Rey: Helo everyone! Got my swag last week and I went with Sonic Bloom shirt as the Blockheads are my sworn enemies! villains.fandom.com...
	♥ 9:32am Cal Zone!: Enjoyed the KB opener!
	♥ 9:33am Ken From Hyde Park: In these times of social distancing, I propose that the WFMU secret handshake be temporarily replaced by the Blockheads' knee-down, arms-out pose when we meet WFMUers in real life.
	♥ 9:33am Brian in UK: Is Hermione related to Jonathan?
	♥ 9:33am Brian in UK: The Al Jolson pose?
	♥ 9:33am HyperDose: Secret handshake? Ahh you spilled the beans!
	♥ 9:33am Joe McG: @Ken: Ken, I think you're a genius.
	♥ 9:34am Handy Haversack: Ken, is making it "Live Long and Prosper" JAZZ HANDS acceptable?
	♥ 9:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: My speakers are made out of corian, coming in a 80 lbs. each.
	♥ 9:34am TDK60: Ken from H.P., I've revived the old Spock salute: \\ //. Very practical in 3D life.
	♥ 9:34am Handy Haversack: That's why I asked, TDK60! \\ //_!
	♥ 9:35am Joe McG: Ha ha ha, I remember the Blockheads! Our blockheads are friendly blockheads. At least I think they are. It's hard to tell since they have no faces.
	♥ 9:35am YETI BOB: and no heads really either
	♥ 9:35am wizard frog: phwar, just checked out L112s / similar JBL speakers on ebay. that is some premium stuff! - though they look grand
	♥ 9:37am Brian in UK: I loves Hildegard & her 11,000 virgins.
	♥ 9:38am YETI BOB: @wizard frog: i didn't pay that much for mine, i guess i got lucky. the ones i have are a bit beat-up (cabinets) but sound great.
	♥ 9:39am YETI BOB: found them at a secondhand shop, spent a little money getting the woofers re-foamed, but overall it was still a good deal
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: "I got my woofers refoamed"!
	♥ 9:41am wizard frog: @YETI BOB: I never saw those block grills before, though may not be on the same model - look really nice - Were you unwell last week? Hope feeling better?
	♥ 9:42am wizard frog: @Joe McG You just HAD to go there didntcha!
	♥ 9:42am YETI BOB: @wf: i've never seen those block grills either, mine are cloth. yeah, i had a rough week last week, doing a lot better today, thanks!
	♥ 9:43am wizard frog: @YETI BOB ah that's good to hear!
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: Are you floating in space yet?
	♥ 9:45am Joe McG: Ladies and gentlemen?
	9:45am morphe: Hildegard von Bingen ... now there's a name I have not heard in many a day....
	♥ 9:46am Mu Major: Not floating in space. Maybe diving, slowly
	♥ 9:46am wizard frog: I was gonna make a really crumby joke about how I've heard the same notes repeated over 10 times and that we may have ascended to Fabio's show but that would be way too, low brow, unfunny, inadequate to post on such an esteemed message board such as this.
	♥ 9:47am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: "My God...it...it's full of stars."
	♥ 9:47am Joe McG: This is my Fabio crossover song.
	♥ 9:48am Sylvia (France-NYC): Hi Joe, Handy, Yeti Bob, TDK60, WoodsofNH, 12539 and all! Love this track, unsurprisingly
	♥ 9:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I love this track but or some reason I am reminded of what my grandson told me when we were listening to some drone thing I had on: "This isn't even a _song_!" Ha.
	♥ 9:48am wizard frog: I bet this is one of those tracks where Roy Montgomery doesn't know how to end it because he likes the loop so much.. oh, he's ended it.
	♥ 9:48am Handy Haversack: Bonjour, Sylvia!
	♥ 9:49am Sylvia (France-NYC): @WoodsOfNH "no, it is the infinite..."
	♥ 9:49am dave wuz here: florian- most krautrock name ever
	♥ 9:49am Phillippe Bastille: good Monday morning! One of my favorite weeks of the year! Not because I'm a huge fan of Thanksgiving, but because I usually take part or all of Weds off so it's a 5 day weekend
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: I like the descending idea. I'd been thinking ascending, but I think descending down in the depths feels more right, like you've just floated past the Cocteau Twins swimming in the other direction.
	♥ 9:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Sylvia Yes!
	♥ 9:50am TDK60: Bonjour Sylvia in France realm.
	9:50am morphe: I believe it was Tony Coulter in his WKCR chair that turned me on to HvB..???
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: @wizard: False alarm! Still 5 minutes left.
	♥ 9:50am dave wuz here: like you've just floated past the Cocteau Twins swimming in the other direction. ha
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: Normally I would "(excerpt)" something like this, but it feels nice to me, so I'm going to finish it.
	♥ 9:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Happened upon a BBC article about this cellist in Ireland. Watched a few of his videos and man, really nice quarantine entertainment: www.bbc.com...
	♥ 9:52am Handy Haversack: It's nice when you get to relax and chat a minute, Joe.
	♥ 9:52am Deborah: @morphe: There used to be a show on WNYC FM, Sound and Spirit Hildegard von Bingen was played frequently. Liked the show but it disappeared or morphed into the typical NPR-voiced listening miasma.
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: @Handy: Yeah, I don't usually have much time to talk on the board, but a 22-minute track kind of frees you up!
	9:54am WFMU listener John: Hello fellow surface dwellers
	9:54am morphe: ps. Arnold Böcklin, Die Toteninsel (The Isle of the Dead), 1880... I think there is a version at the Met??? Arnold Böcklin, Die Toteninsel (The Isle of the Dead), 1880
	♥ 9:56am Handy Haversack: Whew! I have a meeting at 10 and was worried I wouldn't hear then end! Arrrgh, but now I'll miss Popol Vuh. Some things just ain't right. Back as soon as I can.
	9:56am morphe: JmcG - Or passing through the Mirror in Cocteau's "Blood of a Poet"
	♥ 9:57am wizard frog: oh we really in Fabio territory now "Strength Through Surface Noise"
	♥ 9:57am word: This is a great set Joe!
	9:57am P-90: Is that election over yet?
	♥ 9:57am listener Rey: I like that HvB. If you need a nice long break next week, you can play the Four Organs
	♥ 9:58am Handy Haversack: Woo hoo! Heard the whole song! Back soon ...
	9:59am Martinibomb: Mornin' JoE!
	♥ 9:59am PaulRobeson1920: Sounding good! That hour flew by
	♥ 10:00am Strandlund: Looking & Sounding Good, Joe!!
	♥ 10:00am Deborah: Popol Vuh can be mystically good; love their album Love Spirals Downward.
	10:00am morphe: Deb.. NPR Miasma, yep ..... Yaackity Yack ...
	10:00am P-90: I’m ALWAYS down for an all-instrumental set at 9 am.
	♥ 10:01am Planet Tyler: And you have to stop the locals from killing said crazy Klaus Kinski
	♥ 10:01am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I just discovered that there's a Hildegard Von Blingin'
	♥ 10:01am TDK60: Popol Vuh is my most recent discovery of the Germanic prog/psych world. I'm late on a lot of such discoveries. I bypassed a lot of import LPs back then, was low on dough. Still low on $ but WFMU brings the Deutsch Rawk, live/archive.
	♥ 10:02am The Oscar: I can't remember which DJ it was who joked that "I'm in Love with a German Film Star" was about Klaus Kinski, but now that's all I can think about when I hear that song.
	♥ 10:04am Booz: First Cow is really wonderful, totally agree.
	♥ 10:05am YETI BOB: @TDK60: Are you familiar with "Agitation Free"?
	♥ 10:05am The Oscar: Before the shutdown, one of our local theaters had a promotion with a local fancy donut shop: if you brought a ticket stub for First Cow, you got a free dozen donut holes (or "oily cakes"). I wish I got a chance to take advantage. (Also agreed-- lovely little film).
	♥ 10:06am TDK60: Yeti: No, not yet..
	10:06am ΨNs: I did hear the change in my headphones as well...
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: I have to remember to close the door to the studio when I'm on mic!
	♥ 10:07am YETI BOB: @TDK: Lesser known Krautrock band, they made a few records I really like.
	10:07am ΨNs: BTW: if you enjoy Fitzcaraldo, watch the making of documentary “Burden of Dreams”. Fascinating!
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: Agree, a great one, as is "My Best Fiend."
	♥ 10:08am YETI BOB: And also "My Best Fiend" on the Herzog-Kinski relationship
	♥ 10:10am Booz: Herzog: "Clinically, I am the sanest one here."
	♥ 10:10am Planet Tyler: My Best Fiend is pretty fun.
	♥ 10:10am Joe McG: "Clinically"! Ha ha
	10:11am ΨNs: Thanks. I was wondering which Herzog to watch next.
	♥ 10:11am Deborah: Never heard this song! Why are there vague hints of Morrisey?
	10:11am pgalub: Hey Joe McG and everyone!
	10:12am queems: thank you for the wordless hour!! was very nice driving music
	♥ 10:12am mariano: 'Morning Joe McG, everyone!
	♥ 10:12am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: If you want a laugh, listen to Paul F Tompkins doing Herzog, doing a Yelp review of Trader Joe's.
	♥ 10:13am Joe McG: @pg: Just in time for some pop, Pete! @queems: Ah, good to hear!
	♥ 10:13am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 10:14am Planet Tyler: Fireball, Werner's newest also just came out
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: Ha ha, I love when people do Herzog impressions. Even I do one.
	10:14am P-90: Herzog’s new movie is a documentary about meteorites and how cool they are. Also how they may eventually wipe out Homo sapiens and all traces of their existence.
	♥ 10:15am mariano: 4Seasons: Ever see the video some clever soul made of an "Ant Man" trailer, if it had been directed by Herzog? Effing brilliant. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 10:15am YETI BOB: I'm pretty sure even Werner himself is doing a Herzog impression by this point.
	♥ 10:15am TDK60: Thanks Yeti! I checked and they're in the Archive, right in between Agitated Radio Pilot, and Agitator.
	10:17am bobby: Klaus Kinski stars as the meteorite
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: He's a fireball, alright!
	♥ 10:18am xtrakrispy: Epic (true) Herzog: youtu.be...
	♥ 10:19am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: @mariano that is brilliant!
	10:22am bobby: an old girlfriend of mine use to sing..."Is that all there Is" after intimate encounters...thanks Joe
	10:25am chico: Happy Birthday Harpo...
	♥ 10:26am melinda: ooh, I got the Mort Garson re-release but don't yet have a working turntable for playing, nice preview
	10:26am queems: my body is a trash heap of despair
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: It's great, melinda!
	♥ 10:26am Webhamster Henry: This is groovalicious.
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: @queems: Ha ha ha
	♥ 10:28am Roberto: This is making me uncomfortable. Screaming goat, take me away!
	♥ 10:28am The Oscar: This Mort is great-- it's like a non-occult Louise Huebner!
	10:28am djsheilab: Well of course this pricked up my ears! Morning Joe!
	10:28am Brendan: I was just going to say do we still have that goat tied up out back?
	♥ 10:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @djsheilab Time for another moaning-themed show!
	♥ 10:29am melinda: @queems I feel you
	♥ 10:29am Joe McG: Ha ha, Sheila, you're the best.
	10:30am Brendan: This is nice bed music in or out
	♥ 10:31am Lixiviated Life: Dear Joe Hello.
	♥ 10:33am Yes: hello everyone
	♥ 10:33am karlward: Well there you go. Dallas.
	10:34am Jay L.: Dracula the Dirty Old Man is godawful. The vampire ties women up and bites them on the breasts, and, from the sound of dialogue, they added it in post-production, riffing as they went. And there's a werewolf.
	10:35am Donna: ooooooohhhhh love to love you joey.....
	10:36am Peter Melnick: Is the werewolf just there hanging out?
	♥ 10:37am mariano: Sheila B: It can be called "What's the Story, Moaning Glory?" No need to call security, I'll walk out on my own two feet thank you.
	♥ 10:38am johnc: haha one of my favorite all time songs! Did not expect to hear that. Thanks Joe!
	♥ 10:38am The Oscar: Never seen Dracula the Dirty Old Man, but I have seen Deafula, an astounding no-budget vampire movie from the '70s performed entirely in American Sign Language. For obvious reasons, I don't suspect a soundtrack release is forthcoming.
	♥ 10:38am Matt Fiveash: Wow this Vladimir Putin cover is great!
	♥ 10:39am PaulRobeson1920: “Fillin' the front of my shirt with drool I'm a dirty old man (dirty old man, dirty old man) Nervously wiggling my toes in my boots! Communist literature in my hands...”
	♥ 10:39am Handy Haversack: And I'm back! At least until the 11:30 meeting. Good moaning, Mariano.
	10:40am Jay L.: The werewolf attacks a woman in her apartment, has sex with her. It's a nasty nudie-roughie scene. Not sure how it furthers the story. But then, nothing in the film really advances the story, other than "This is Dracula. . . . He's a dirty old man . . . . The End."
	♥ 10:40am mariano: Oh, what a beautiful moaning, Handy!
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @MF: He's seriously underrated.
	10:41am walkin' to New Orleans: Happy Week Joe and all. Enjoying the show as always. Thanks
	♥ 10:42am mariano: What was that one vampire parody where a guy holds up a crucifix and the vampire says something like "Puh-leeze. I'm Jewish." I have a memory of that scene but have never been able to track it down.
	10:42am Jay L.: A much better low-budget waste of time is "Psyched by the 4-D Witch," filmed in Astralvision.
	♥ 10:43am Sylvia (France-NYC): (@Jay L.: if werewolf attacks a woman, that's not having sex, but rape)
	10:43am Jay L.: Mariano, that might be the Fearless Vampire Killers
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Hope you enjoyed that dirty old Fats, WTNO!
	♥ 10:43am zopa: Yay! Tom Tom Club!
	♥ 10:43am The Oscar: TOM TOM CLUB!
	♥ 10:44am Webhamster Henry: Tina just turned 70! so 80s!
	10:44am Jay L.: @Sylvia, yes. Yes it is, which really makes the movie something unrecommendable. It truly is a terrible film.
	10:44am frankie: I was rooting for the werewolf in that scene....what a jerk I was back than...
	♥ 10:44am YETI BOB: "Party at a Queens Sex Club With 80 People Is Shut Down by Sheriff" - yikes!
	10:44am P-90: Classic Adrian Belew guitar riff
	♥ 10:45am Brian C.: Just. finishing up Chris Frantz' book, thx for playing this!
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: If I ever get around to doing a "name dropping" premium, this will be featured. So many people mentioned: Sly and Robbie, Smokey, Kurtis Blow, James Brown...
	♥ 10:45am The Oscar: Smokey Ruh-BINson!
	♥ 10:45am Switchblade Batman: I keep thinking Genius of Love is from a present day band that's trying to sound retro Then I google it, and get reminded it's not.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Bria: Is the book good?
	10:45am MplsCoco: Good morning Joe!
	♥ 10:46am efd: @Joe you could include this and "Life Is A Rock" on that premium and call it a day!
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: Whoops, this one got stuck! Hi, Coco! @efd: There you go!
	10:47am P-90: Frantz is a fun follow on Facebook, if anyone’s still into that
	10:47am kev: love you Joe have a good Thanksgiving
	♥ 10:47am Sylvia (France-NYC): I was waiting for Mariah Carey during the whole track, how brain works!
	♥ 10:48am The Oscar: @Switchblade I genuinely thought that when I first heard "Wordy Rappinghood!"
	♥ 10:48am Brian C.: @Joe McG: Yes. He has an axe to grind but it's not a constant thing. Speaking of dropping names, he mentions meeting everyone.
	♥ 10:49am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe and McGaskowens!
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: Thanks, kev! @Brian: Ha, I guess it's no surprise he's a name-dropper!
	10:50am paul: I have a compilation called Johnny Rivers - Anthology 1964-1977, and this ain't on it. I feel cheated.
	♥ 10:50am Brian in UK: Love the way they try to rhyme 'no one can sing, quite like Smokey Rob-bin-sin' on Genius.
	♥ 10:50am PortsmouthJay: great lil' set, Joe McG!
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @paul: Label is very cagey about how long this song is. Says "Over four minutes"
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: Hey, PMJ, thanks for checkin' in.
	10:51am paul: @Joe, I believe it. :)
	♥ 10:52am tim from champaign (now washington): I didn't know Johnny Rivers could get a little gritty.
	10:53am thomas: Hey Joe...where you going with that 45 in your hand?
	♥ 10:54am Switchblade Batman: @Oscar, at least I'm not the only. It's a pretty good song though. Fun.
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: @thomas: To WFMU, to play it on the radio, of course.
	10:55am paul: Five songs from five decades!
	10:55am Earthwalker: Take off your gogo boots and put on ice skates !
	10:55am paul: Make it 6
	10:56am Earthwalker: We love Surface Noise !
	♥ 10:56am mariano: Ah, thanks Jay L (@10:43). Brian in UK: Maybe they're saying "No one can sin..."?
	10:57am Rick A.: In high school, I wore out the Johnny Rivers live at the Whiskey album, born John Ramistella, originally from New York though grew up in Louisiana which you can hear in his music. The latest Guy Ritchie film features, "The Snake", which is a great track of his.
	♥ 10:57am TDK60: Glass Eye! I knew them, stayed with them when touring in Austin. '86?
	♥ 10:57am YETI BOB: K. McCarty! Haven't heard her wonderful voice in a while
	♥ 10:58am Phillippe Bastille: Really great show today, Joe!
	10:59am paul: Damn. Gotta run. Stay safe, all.
	10:59am Rick A.: Kathy McCarty's voice is so uniquely beautiful. I saw her at Brownie's on Avenue A in 1995, promoting the Daniel Johnston covers album which is great as was the show. She should be more famous.
	♥ 11:00am zopa: Autoharp?
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Phillippe: Glad you're enjoying! Now I've done 7 decades of 45s, I'm going to stop there. But I want to play one more....
	♥ 11:00am Brian in UK: mariano, that may well be the case.
	♥ 11:00am DJ Guin: Loving this set, @JoeMcG -- that is all.
	♥ 11:00am Webhamster Henry: Autoharp alert!
	♥ 11:01am The Oscar: I played electric autoharp in a band in my 20s because I was too lazy to learn guitar. I would've flipped for this (and still do!)
	♥ 11:01am tim from champaign (now washington): My chimp brain dont work good right now. I know the original as a De LA Soul sample but who did it.
	♥ 11:01am Brian in UK: Seely Dan & autoharp in the same sentence. Whodathoughtit.
	♥ 11:02am YETI BOB: seems to be a major Steely Dan revival going on
	♥ 11:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I always thought "Misunderstanding" was an outlier on the Duke album. Very pop compared to the rest of it.
	♥ 11:03am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh yeah, Steely Dan. Next question...who's t he killer drummer on this Genesis cut? ;)
	11:03am asheville jon: Oh nooooo, philth collins on wfmu, the horror!!!
	♥ 11:03am Brian in UK: Hearing 'Do It Again' for the first time got my attention.
	11:03am Emily: Yr killing me, Joe
	♥ 11:03am zopa: The whole Duke album has a fuzzy sweater feel to it, for me anyway.
	11:04am Tank Top: Whoa, what happened? Turn the car around we missed our exit!
	11:04am Rick A.: All the Peter Gabriel fans are knashing their teeth right now which is fine.
	♥ 11:04am Lizardner Dave !: I worked in a deli when I was in college and we used so sing along with this as "There must be mustard on my sandwich/There must be some kind of mistake/I've been standing in the line for hours/You gave me mayonnaise".
	♥ 11:04am sim: @asheville jon. You should hear what JA in the AM does to Phil Collins.
	11:04am Santos L Halper: Had Duke in my head all weekend, thanks Joe!
	11:05am Brendan: There must be some misunderstanding, some kind of mistake. I expected to hear Kevin Ayers at 11o’clock and I’m hearing Phil Collins- this is revolting.
	♥ 11:06am Brian in UK: Give Phil a break someone had to be in Genesis.
	11:06am P-90: “Legal ID: take 2”
	♥ 11:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I never really liked the Peter Gabriel era so I get a lot of entertainment out of the griping.
	♥ 11:07am sim: Julie from Dark Night of the Soul played a cut or two from Genesis' first album. VERY Kinks sounding. Real nice!
	♥ 11:07am Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	♥ 11:08am Brian in UK: First Genesis album produced by the despicable Jonathan King.
	♥ 11:08am sim: I have carrots.
	♥ 11:08am -Ken: Imust admit, that IS a good pop song. Too bad about the singer. Phil Collins was in the background for so many hours of my life, now when he comes on, I just automatically tune it out like it's not there. I came to, just before the end of the song, to realize that it had redeeming value in the writing.
	♥ 11:09am PortsmouthJay: I got cake...
	♥ 11:09am The Oscar: Genesis was always my blindspot as a buyer for a used record store. I never did get a sense for which ones people wanted and which ones were considered uncool.
	♥ 11:09am JG: Morning all, Mariano, great call on The Snake. ANd The Gentleman was a pretty good movie. Just watched Johhny Rivers on youtube doing the snake. great!
	♥ 11:11am tim from champaign (now washington): Here's my music SAT analogy which I've shared before. Jack White is to Eric Clapton as Dave Grohl is to Phil Collins.
	♥ 11:11am PortsmouthJay: Bandcamp FTW!
	♥ 11:11am Handy Haversack: Yeah, shut it down, Joe!
	11:11am MplsCoco: Yeah Joe! screw Spotify!
	♥ 11:11am Handy Haversack: MplsCoco gets it!
	♥ 11:11am D Rok: I think it's safe to say many WFMU listeners hate Spotify. It's kind of the antithesis of what we value.
	♥ 11:12am Sylvia (France-NYC): we know one thing Spotify doesn’t do: pay artists
	11:12am morphe: genesis' original drummer Chris Stewart - lives in Adulusiia, Sp .. Wrote some good books .. now leads nature tours... https://www.casa-ana.com/walking-holidays-with-chris-stewart
	♥ 11:12am tim from champaign (now washington): Spotify can definitely go screw. What Sylvia said.
	♥ 11:12am sim: I demand hand-curated playlists with live DJs.
	♥ 11:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw something about how Spotify should add a "Tip the artist" feature. The great reply was that Bandamp already has that feature...it's called "BUY". Ha!
	♥ 11:13am sim: <3<3<3 wfmu
	11:13am Johnny Staten Island: Spectacular single file as always
	♥ 11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh, I've seen that Island comp around.
	♥ 11:14am mariano: Thanks, JG... though the credit goes to Rick A for "The Snake." Since we're baring our sinful souls, I've always kinda liked "Man on the Corner" as far as Collins-era Genesis.
	♥ 11:14am Webhamster Henry: WFMU is my Spotify.
	♥ 11:14am -Ken: Spotify refused to allow an employee to be interviewed on Techtonic. I wanted to do it (filling in for Mark), the employee wanted to do it, Squatify said no
	♥ 11:14am sim: ლ(╹◡╹ლ)
	♥ 11:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I use Youtube music, mostly to listen to things that I can't find in my giant mess of a CD collection.
	♥ 11:14am dei xhrist: word up Webhamster
	♥ 11:14am Rich in Washington: it's been easy for me to 'boycott' Spotify. For whatever reason - not even ruling out my impending decrepitude - I cannot for the life of me make Spotify work for me in any kind of functional way.
	♥ 11:14am Handy Haversack: tim, if you're going to evaluate us for competence, you have to leave a blank: Jack White : Eric Clapton :: Dave Grohl : ? A. Phil Collins B. Guy Evans C. Ringo Starr D. Charlie Watts
	11:15am fuzzybear: my boyfriend made the best ever pea soup last night. vegan too
	♥ 11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): Did Meat Puppets steal that opening guitar line?
	♥ 11:15am PortsmouthJay: Sandy Denny is one my top 5 favorite female vocalists of all time.
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: Word, PortsmouthJay. Word.
	♥ 11:16am Stanley: Word
	♥ 11:16am mariano: Yes, Sandy Denny forever!
	♥ 11:17am TDK60: Never heard of that "El Pea" comp. An only in the UK release, likely.
	♥ 11:17am Rev. Turnip Druid: Never used spotify. Hell, never even bought a single thing thru iTunes or whatever it's called now. Old Turnip defies the world.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @fuzzbear: Yum! @all: Glad to hear you all resist the Exploitify.
	♥ 11:17am tim from champaign (now washington): Mark Hurst's Spotify episode a few weeks ago is great listening. I'm pretty sure as that episode was airing, Spotify announced that artists could get greater promotion if they took a cut in royalties. They suck major ass.
	♥ 11:17am zopa: @ mariano: mine is "Keep It Dark"...
	♥ 11:18am Stanley: I had 'El Pea'. It was terrific, doubleIsland comp LP with a giant pea on the cover
	♥ 11:18am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: I read somewhere that Spotify tries to direct its users to computer generated music they themselves created, so they don't have to pay artists a dime.
	♥ 11:19am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and everyone
	♥ 11:20am Sylvia (France-NYC): musicians and workers are organizing as a union right now, lots of money loss due to the pandemic, and Spotify doesn’t pay at all, there’s also a petition asking for a penny a stream, instead of the current $0.0038 per stream. It’s all here www.unionofmusicians.org
	11:20am MplsCoco: 4Seasons! I wouldn't doubt it for a second!
	♥ 11:21am Sylvia (France-NYC): we have 19,000 signatures at the moment
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: I have told it before how I was at friend's once and convinced them to put on Suzy Hotrod's show, and band after band was brand new to both of us, and we were rocking out. And then his partner came home and decided it was "too much static" and put on a Spotify rockabilly channel, and I knew every single damn song that came on. Sigh.
	♥ 11:21am tim from champaign (now washington): @Four Seasons - that just shows Spotify is run by jerks who don't like music. That's called Muzak, Spotify.
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: I sent to Kate, Sylvia. Merci.
	♥ 11:22am TDK60: Never heard of this musicians' union, Sylvia. Good for them!
	♥ 11:22am Matt Fiveash: If you play Guns n' Roses I'm switching to spotify!
	11:23am MplsCoco: @handy aren't some people just the worst!
	♥ 11:23am D Rok: Handy Haversack: And that's why we love WFMU! Every day, I hear several songs I've never heard before! Every. Day.
	♥ 11:24am mariano: Sylvia: Wow! I had no idea Spotify was so scummy. Glad I've barely ever used it, (YouTube hypocrite though I be). Can anyone sign the petition? If not, I do have one obscure music credit to my name from years ago if I can use that. Handy: Ugh! Corporate playlists have dulled the collective musical aesthetic the way fast food has dulled the collective palate. Keep playin' them hits...
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @MF: You know you should never dare a WFMU DJ....but I really don't like that group. You're safe, Matt!
	♥ 11:24am Yes: this is sweet
	♥ 11:25am Sylvia (France-NYC): among the signatures there’s Damon & Naomi (from Galaxie 500), Zola Jesus, (and us!) www.unionofmusicians.org...
	♥ 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): 3 plays to make a penny. that means 3 hundred plays to make a dollar. So bogus.
	11:26am P-90: Chico Baby!
	11:27am Mike tp: popped from sandy to chico.gumbs diggin
	11:27am morphe: The partner hating FMU - a funny commanality at FMU -all of my long term partners (3 x 10 years+) hated FMU .. lovely Maribel accepts and listens and likes and now listens on her own - I can even play BBC news throughout my unslept nights ... !!! anohter peeve of the ex-es....
	♥ 11:27am rabblerabble: Love Chico! Thx Joe!
	♥ 11:27am JG: Sandy Denny's voice.. also back to Johnny Rivers, there are no bad johnny rivers songs
	♥ 11:27am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Handy great! @TDK60 it’s brand new! It had been up in the air for a while then pandemic hit and something had to be done
	11:28am Joe B: greetings Joe and everyone
	11:28am Fletchernyc: Sounds like Gabor Szabo on guitar
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: @rabble rabble: This whole record slays.
	11:28am Joe B: @JG - agreed re johnny rivers
	♥ 11:29am Handy Haversack: UGH. Another meeting. Great show, Joe! Thanks so much. Be well, all. Will see some of you at the Next Joe Up's place!
	♥ 11:29am mariano: Bon courage, Handy!
	♥ 11:30am tim from champaign (now washington): I love Impulse! era Chico. The suavest drumming bandleader around.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: Hey Joe B.! What do you have in store for us today?
	♥ 11:31am TDK60: Sylvia, Soutenez le syndicat! Support the union!
	♥ 11:32am rabblerabble: @ Joe McG: Absolutely. This album and Man from Two Worlds are fantastic.
	♥ 11:33am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: Feet don't fail me now!
	♥ 11:34am Sylvia (France-NYC): @mariano I’m asking on twitter if non musicians can sign
	11:35am thomas: during the show...I had ice cream...had sex...walked the dog...watched a Marx Bros film...fixed a leaky pipe...called mom...listened to great music...beautiful show...
	11:35am Mike tp: thanks joe for super choice selections..caminho.another cooker for el gumbo
	11:35am Joe B: @joe - not sure yet. for the record, I am pro 'Misunderstanding' - great song!
	11:36am Martinibomb: Hologram Teen! Yay <3 <3 <3
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: @thomas: You are one industrious fellow! Good job! Thanks, Mike tp!
	♥ 11:38am Steve from Dunwoody: extra zzs make all the diff.
	♥ 11:39am Mister Dobalina: Tune'd in epicly later'd today, but glad I'm catchin' this track!
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: I'm as surprised as you are that we ended up in the disco from starting with Sandy Denny, but hey, that's what happens sometimes!
	♥ 11:40am YETI BOB: dancin' around the house!
	♥ 11:41am JG: and a good day to you Joe B!
	♥ 11:42am Mister Dobalina: Someone is cooking bacon & I don't know who it is...driving me crazy.
	♥ 11:42am JG: Joe M, this show made the morning fly by. great stuff
	♥ 11:43am TDK60: Mr. Dobalina, I'm vegetarian now but still enjoy the aroma of cooking bacon. Ethical dilemma fills my life..
	♥ 11:43am adampsyche: commenting late but I've been awake and this has been a great show to wake up to! thanks again Joe!
	♥ 11:44am tim from champaign (now washington): This bass player must use industrial strength rubber bans for strings.
	♥ 11:44am Carmichael: Heya Joe and winners. Short work week, unless you're a turkey baster.
	♥ 11:44am Roberto: TDK60, vegan Smart Bacon(TM) smells similar to meat bacon, at least to me. The cat can't tell the diff.
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: @JG, adamp: Glad it wasn't too painful!
	♥ 11:44am Mister Dobalina: It could be vegan bacon, TD...
	♥ 11:45am D Rok: This track is so FUNKY! My bones can't take it! (don't stop)
	♥ 11:45am Mister Dobalina: Gonna have to clicky star fav this one.
	♥ 11:46am TDK60: Ah Roberto, there ya go, didn't think of that.. I had a vegan friend who angrily denounced me for even liking the taste of soy-as-sausage. I was speechless.
	♥ 11:47am Gaylord Fields: @Joe McG @Joe B: Count me among the pro-"Misunderstanding" minority here. It still kinda leaves me nonplussed when someone says in surprise, "[DJ] played [a particular uncool/once-popular artist] — on WFMU???" That stance is the opposite of what the freeform radio ethos is.
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: I come to jam!
	11:47am Brendan: Whoever learns to make the bacon equivalent of Beyond Meat will surely be immortalized.
	♥ 11:47am johnc: Oh Yeah! Alright!
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: @Gaylord: Agree most heartily!
	♥ 11:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe McG FUNKS YOU UP!
	♥ 11:48am Mister Dobalina: Jelly, jam, preserve...it's all good to me!!
	♥ 11:48am 12539: That Gaylord is so smart.
	♥ 11:48am JG: @ joe M , mondays basically suck, except for morning and afternoon FMU sounds
	♥ 11:48am YETI BOB: @TDK: That's an example of "bad vegan". It's good not to eat animals, bad to be an a-hole about it. And enjoying smells of things is completely innocent.
	♥ 11:49am The Oscar: I'm not sure why, but ending on "We're coming to Utah!" made me laugh out loud.
	♥ 11:49am Gaylord Fields: @Brendan: As a vegetarian of about 30 years, I will personally slaughter 10,000 pigs if that would somehow magically causes vegan bacon to become a thing.
	♥ 11:49am Mister Dobalina: It's like I'm back the ol' Limelight...just kiddin' I never went there..a bit before my time.
	♥ 11:50am efd: I fully support everything after the first sentence of Gaylord's comment at 11:47.
	♥ 11:50am mariano: Sylvia: Thanks so much! It did let me sign, and I am technically a musician in that I've been playing guitar very lazily for almost 40 years now, and can dig up one obscure, ancient All Music credit for some session work I did ;)
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: @Oscar: Ha, me too! @JG: Always happy to hear that we help make Monday easier to take.
	♥ 11:51am TDK60: Thanks counselor Yeti. My day will go a bit more smoothly.
	♥ 11:51am Gaylord Fields: @efd: Fair enough!
	♥ 11:51am Sylvia (France-NYC): have you guys tried tempeh bacon? it’s quite good @mariano oh great!
	♥ 11:51am Mister Dobalina: The Duane Train.
	11:52am egould310: Thanks for the tunes, Joe McG. Nice way to wake up and start vacation week.
	♥ 11:52am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: The non Rick Astley version, huh?
	♥ 11:52am Mister Dobalina: Oh, it's Monday, not Tuesday...I know my daze by the FMU shows that are playing at the time.
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: I wish there were a Barry White/Patrice mash-up. They won't give each other up!
	11:53am morphe: Thanks Joe and all.....
	♥ 11:54am tim from champaign (now washington): @Gaylord - I've been vegetarian for 30 years too. Since 1990.
	♥ 11:54am Stanley: WFMU 'Never gonna give you up'
	♥ 11:54am Sylvia (France-NYC): see you on Irene’s board for some of you! Thanks for the show, Joe
	♥ 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe! Be well all you blockheads.
	♥ 11:54am Brian in UK: Nice work, Joe.
	♥ 11:54am TDK60: Gracias skeleton DJ Joe.
	♥ 11:55am mariano: YETI BOB (@11:48) - I'm an omnivore and have had/have many vegetarian/vegan friends, never once been an issue among any of us. There's some yummy vegan stuff these days, like those smoothies made with cashew milk, raw cacao, real peanut butter, etc. Thank you Joe McG, way to start off everyone's Monday. Later, folks.
	♥ 11:55am Gaylord Fields: @tim: Cool! I can't see ever going back to eating meat — but I do want better vegan bacon!
	♥ 11:56am radioronan: Thanks Joe..thanks skeleton crew!
	11:56am Brendan: Thanks for giving Joe.
	♥ 11:56am nortonjutland: thank you Joe !!
	♥ 11:57am spodiodi: thanks, Joe! thanks, Skeleton Crew!
	♥ 11:57am Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:57am Mister Dobalina: Спасибо Spasibo
	♥ 11:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe!!
	11:57am Peter Melnick: Thank you, Joe!
	♥ 11:58am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a happy Thanksgiving, if you're having one. See you next time!
	♥ 11:58am Roberto: Prosschai? That's not one I heard when I visited Russia.
	♥ 11:58am efd: @Joe Terrible pun, wish I'd thought of it.
	♥ 11:58am DJ Guin: Tovarisch Joe McGaskoski! Da svedonya!
	♥ 11:58am Yes: thanks joe!
	♥ 11:58am PaulRobeson1920: Thanks Joe and Skelton Crew! Peace and love ya’ll!
	♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. See you blockheads later!
	♥ 11:59am Mister Dobalina: Artie Shaw reminds me of all the acetate records I've got to get rid of.
	♥ 11:59am Mister Dobalina: Gosh, I really like Brak!
	♥ 11:59am DJ Guin: Happy Thanksgiving, Josef!
	♥ 11:59am tim from champaign (now washington): Sounds like Joe was rushin' to get out of here.

	9:02am Listener Bop Monroe: greetings from cloudy Tannersville Mr. JM. "raydeeeo!"
	♥ 9:02am Marley P. Dogg: As many times as Fenton has heard the yips, he is now barking at them
	♥ 9:03am Krys O.: Greetings!
	♥ 9:03am melinda: Howdy friends!
	♥ 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy happy!
	♥ 9:04am Deborah: Radio Radio!!
	9:06am Andrew in Toronto: Good morning Joe and all others.
	♥ 9:07am zopa: A fine use of the tambourine. Hi Joe!
	♥ 9:08am The Oscar: The opening set of Surface Noise always sounds different, but it's always the exact centering moment that's needed on a Monday morning. This is so good.
	♥ 9:10am a polished polish lady: Good morning surfers
	♥ 9:10am Joe McG: Ooh, I like that: "centering." Thanks, Oscar, and thanks everyone for tuning in today. Welcome to the program.
	9:11am KWilde: Good morning Joe and fellow listeners!
	♥ 9:14am Handy Haversack: Joe, the swag arrived! I'm en-Blockheaded as we speak. Thanks!
	♥ 9:15am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.
	♥ 9:15am TDK60: Morning Joe and Surfacers. They say it's Monday but I'm not so sure, it has a ring of truthiness to it, but...
	♥ 9:16am 12539: Great big belated yips!
	♥ 9:17am Brian in UK: TDK60, it is Monday I just got a new pair of glasses.
	♥ 9:17am Joe McG: @Handy: Great to hear! I packed it meself!
	♥ 9:18am The Oscar: Got my Blockhead shirt as well-- I make a point of wearing it on the rare days that I leave the house!
	♥ 9:19am Brian in UK: "Whatever he (Joe) brings we listen to". Apologies to Kevin Ayres.
	♥ 9:19am YETI BOB: blockhead shirt is so great
	♥ 9:21am TDK60: Hi Brian in UK with the new glasses.
	♥ 9:22am Handy Haversack: The extra care was clear, Joe!
	♥ 9:22am melinda: Hired Hand score is so good
	♥ 9:22am Joe McG: Big Secret: In the office, we all thought Sonic Bloom would be the more popular shirt of the two on offer this fall, but Blockheads was the hit. Tell me what you guys dig about it.
	♥ 9:22am karlward: Mustard yellow forever
	♥ 9:22am a polished polish lady: It's a really fun print, and on yellow!
	♥ 9:23am YETI BOB: @joe: its totally out of style, a relic from the 70s, just like me
	♥ 9:23am TDK60: The great Bruce L. was Mr. Tambourine Man.
	♥ 9:23am Marley P. Dogg: I think the block heads are so popular because they spread joy
	♥ 9:23am 12539: Blockheads is a great color, and the art is stupidly smart.
	♥ 9:23am Joe McG: Ha ha, Yeti Bob. I think these are all wonderful reasons.
	♥ 9:24am YETI BOB: @joe: and the JAZZ HANDS
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: One reason I leaned Blockheads over Sonic Bloom is that, as lovely as the design is on SB, the details can only be seen up close and personal (i.e., well within one health-conscious JRu). Blockheads proclaims its coolness from a healthy distance and backs it up with the suggestion of actual movement. Also: yes, JAZZ HANDS!
	♥ 9:25am 12539: In some way the speakerheads remind me of the old Big Fig Newton commercial.
	♥ 9:26am Handy Haversack: A soupçon of Kool-Aid Man as well.
	♥ 9:26am YETI BOB: it's funny that we're calling them blockheads. look again - they are headless, those blocks are their bodies! wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:27am Handy Haversack: I think their arms and legs just grow out of their heads, YB.
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: Hm, Kool-Aid Man. I think you may have something there!
	♥ 9:29am wizard frog: in light of spreading joy, I recently discovered pickled mustard seed sauce goes insanely well with baked fish and/or fried veg - and I mean insanely well
	♥ 9:31am YETI BOB: also i love that they are big old heavy bulky "real" speakers ... not some dinky bluetooth toys like the kids listen to these days. (i'm listening to the station on a pair of JBL L112's)

	♥ 9:33am Ken From Hyde Park: In these times of social distancing, I propose that the WFMU secret handshake be temporarily replaced by the Blockheads' knee-down, arms-out pose when we meet WFMUers in real life.
	♥ 9:33am Brian in UK: Is Hermione related to Jonathan?

	♥ 9:34am Handy Haversack: Ken, is making it "Live Long and Prosper" JAZZ HANDS acceptable?
	♥ 9:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: My speakers are made out of corian, coming in a 80 lbs. each.
	♥ 9:34am TDK60: Ken from H.P., I've revived the old Spock salute: \\ //. Very practical in 3D life.
	♥ 9:34am Handy Haversack: That's why I asked, TDK60! \\ //_!
	♥ 9:35am Joe McG: Ha ha ha, I remember the Blockheads! Our blockheads are friendly blockheads. At least I think they are. It's hard to tell since they have no faces.
	♥ 9:35am YETI BOB: and no heads really either
	♥ 9:35am wizard frog: phwar, just checked out L112s / similar JBL speakers on ebay. that is some premium stuff! - though they look grand

	♥ 9:39am YETI BOB: found them at a secondhand shop, spent a little money getting the woofers re-foamed, but overall it was still a good deal

	♥ 9:46am Mu Major: Not floating in space. Maybe diving, slowly
	♥ 9:46am wizard frog: I was gonna make a really crumby joke about how I've heard the same notes repeated over 10 times and that we may have ascended to Fabio's show but that would be way too, low brow, unfunny, inadequate to post on such an esteemed message board such as this.
	♥ 9:47am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: "My God...it...it's full of stars."
	♥ 9:47am Joe McG: This is my Fabio crossover song.
	♥ 9:48am Sylvia (France-NYC): Hi Joe, Handy, Yeti Bob, TDK60, WoodsofNH, 12539 and all! Love this track, unsurprisingly
	♥ 9:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I love this track but or some reason I am reminded of what my grandson told me when we were listening to some drone thing I had on: "This isn't even a _song_!" Ha.
	♥ 9:48am wizard frog: I bet this is one of those tracks where Roy Montgomery doesn't know how to end it because he likes the loop so much.. oh, he's ended it.

	♥ 9:49am dave wuz here: florian- most krautrock name ever
	♥ 9:49am Phillippe Bastille: good Monday morning! One of my favorite weeks of the year! Not because I'm a huge fan of Thanksgiving, but because I usually take part or all of Weds off so it's a 5 day weekend
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: I like the descending idea. I'd been thinking ascending, but I think descending down in the depths feels more right, like you've just floated past the Cocteau Twins swimming in the other direction.
	♥ 9:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Sylvia Yes!
	♥ 9:50am TDK60: Bonjour Sylvia in France realm.
	9:50am morphe: I believe it was Tony Coulter in his WKCR chair that turned me on to HvB..???

	♥ 9:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Happened upon a BBC article about this cellist in Ireland. Watched a few of his videos and man, really nice quarantine entertainment: www.bbc.com...
	♥ 9:52am Handy Haversack: It's nice when you get to relax and chat a minute, Joe.
	♥ 9:52am Deborah: @morphe: There used to be a show on WNYC FM, Sound and Spirit Hildegard von Bingen was played frequently. Liked the show but it disappeared or morphed into the typical NPR-voiced listening miasma.
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: @Handy: Yeah, I don't usually have much time to talk on the board, but a 22-minute track kind of frees you up!

	♥ 10:01am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I just discovered that there's a Hildegard Von Blingin'
	♥ 10:01am TDK60: Popol Vuh is my most recent discovery of the Germanic prog/psych world. I'm late on a lot of such discoveries. I bypassed a lot of import LPs back then, was low on dough. Still low on $ but WFMU brings the Deutsch Rawk, live/archive.
	♥ 10:02am The Oscar: I can't remember which DJ it was who joked that "I'm in Love with a German Film Star" was about Klaus Kinski, but now that's all I can think about when I hear that song.
	♥ 10:04am Booz: First Cow is really wonderful, totally agree.
	♥ 10:05am YETI BOB: @TDK60: Are you familiar with "Agitation Free"?
	♥ 10:05am The Oscar: Before the shutdown, one of our local theaters had a promotion with a local fancy donut shop: if you brought a ticket stub for First Cow, you got a free dozen donut holes (or "oily cakes"). I wish I got a chance to take advantage. (Also agreed-- lovely little film).
	♥ 10:06am TDK60: Yeti: No, not yet..

	♥ 10:07am YETI BOB: @TDK: Lesser known Krautrock band, they made a few records I really like.
	10:07am ΨNs: BTW: if you enjoy Fitzcaraldo, watch the making of documentary “Burden of Dreams”. Fascinating!
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: Agree, a great one, as is "My Best Fiend."
	♥ 10:08am YETI BOB: And also "My Best Fiend" on the Herzog-Kinski relationship

	♥ 10:13am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: www.youtube.com...

	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: Ha ha, I love when people do Herzog impressions. Even I do one.
	10:14am P-90: Herzog’s new movie is a documentary about meteorites and how cool they are. Also how they may eventually wipe out Homo sapiens and all traces of their existence.
	♥ 10:15am mariano: 4Seasons: Ever see the video some clever soul made of an "Ant Man" trailer, if it had been directed by Herzog? Effing brilliant. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 10:15am YETI BOB: I'm pretty sure even Werner himself is doing a Herzog impression by this point.
	♥ 10:15am TDK60: Thanks Yeti! I checked and they're in the Archive, right in between Agitated Radio Pilot, and Agitator.
	10:17am bobby: Klaus Kinski stars as the meteorite

	♥ 10:33am Yes: hello everyone
	♥ 10:33am karlward: Well there you go. Dallas.
	10:34am Jay L.: Dracula the Dirty Old Man is godawful. The vampire ties women up and bites them on the breasts, and, from the sound of dialogue, they added it in post-production, riffing as they went. And there's a werewolf.
	10:35am Donna: ooooooohhhhh love to love you joey.....
	10:36am Peter Melnick: Is the werewolf just there hanging out?
	♥ 10:37am mariano: Sheila B: It can be called "What's the Story, Moaning Glory?" No need to call security, I'll walk out on my own two feet thank you.
	♥ 10:38am johnc: haha one of my favorite all time songs! Did not expect to hear that. Thanks Joe!
	♥ 10:38am The Oscar: Never seen Dracula the Dirty Old Man, but I have seen Deafula, an astounding no-budget vampire movie from the '70s performed entirely in American Sign Language. For obvious reasons, I don't suspect a soundtrack release is forthcoming.
	♥ 10:38am Matt Fiveash: Wow this Vladimir Putin cover is great!
	♥ 10:39am PaulRobeson1920: “Fillin' the front of my shirt with drool I'm a dirty old man (dirty old man, dirty old man) Nervously wiggling my toes in my boots! Communist literature in my hands...”
	♥ 10:39am Handy Haversack: And I'm back! At least until the 11:30 meeting. Good moaning, Mariano.
	10:40am Jay L.: The werewolf attacks a woman in her apartment, has sex with her. It's a nasty nudie-roughie scene. Not sure how it furthers the story. But then, nothing in the film really advances the story, other than "This is Dracula. . . . He's a dirty old man . . . . The End."
	♥ 10:40am mariano: Oh, what a beautiful moaning, Handy!
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @MF: He's seriously underrated.
	10:41am walkin' to New Orleans: Happy Week Joe and all. Enjoying the show as always. Thanks
	♥ 10:42am mariano: What was that one vampire parody where a guy holds up a crucifix and the vampire says something like "Puh-leeze. I'm Jewish." I have a memory of that scene but have never been able to track it down.
	10:42am Jay L.: A much better low-budget waste of time is "Psyched by the 4-D Witch," filmed in Astralvision.
	♥ 10:43am Sylvia (France-NYC): (@Jay L.: if werewolf attacks a woman, that's not having sex, but rape)
	10:43am Jay L.: Mariano, that might be the Fearless Vampire Killers
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: Hope you enjoyed that dirty old Fats, WTNO!
	♥ 10:43am zopa: Yay! Tom Tom Club!
	♥ 10:43am The Oscar: TOM TOM CLUB!
	♥ 10:44am Webhamster Henry: Tina just turned 70! so 80s!
	10:44am Jay L.: @Sylvia, yes. Yes it is, which really makes the movie something unrecommendable. It truly is a terrible film.
	10:44am frankie: I was rooting for the werewolf in that scene....what a jerk I was back than...
	♥ 10:44am YETI BOB: "Party at a Queens Sex Club With 80 People Is Shut Down by Sheriff" - yikes!

	♥ 10:45am The Oscar: Smokey Ruh-BINson!
	♥ 10:45am Switchblade Batman: I keep thinking Genius of Love is from a present day band that's trying to sound retro Then I google it, and get reminded it's not.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Bria: Is the book good?
	10:45am MplsCoco: Good morning Joe!
	♥ 10:46am efd: @Joe you could include this and "Life Is A Rock" on that premium and call it a day!

	10:47am P-90: Frantz is a fun follow on Facebook, if anyone’s still into that
	10:47am kev: love you Joe have a good Thanksgiving
	♥ 10:47am Sylvia (France-NYC): I was waiting for Mariah Carey during the whole track, how brain works!
	♥ 10:48am The Oscar: @Switchblade I genuinely thought that when I first heard "Wordy Rappinghood!"
	♥ 10:48am Brian C.: @Joe McG: Yes. He has an axe to grind but it's not a constant thing. Speaking of dropping names, he mentions meeting everyone.
	♥ 10:49am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe and McGaskowens!
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: Thanks, kev! @Brian: Ha, I guess it's no surprise he's a name-dropper!
	10:50am paul: I have a compilation called Johnny Rivers - Anthology 1964-1977, and this ain't on it. I feel cheated.
	♥ 10:50am Brian in UK: Love the way they try to rhyme 'no one can sing, quite like Smokey Rob-bin-sin' on Genius.
	♥ 10:50am PortsmouthJay: great lil' set, Joe McG!
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @paul: Label is very cagey about how long this song is. Says "Over four minutes"
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: Hey, PMJ, thanks for checkin' in.
	10:51am paul: @Joe, I believe it. :)
	♥ 10:52am tim from champaign (now washington): I didn't know Johnny Rivers could get a little gritty.
	10:53am thomas: Hey Joe...where you going with that 45 in your hand?
	♥ 10:54am Switchblade Batman: @Oscar, at least I'm not the only. It's a pretty good song though. Fun.
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: @thomas: To WFMU, to play it on the radio, of course.
	10:55am paul: Five songs from five decades!
	10:55am Earthwalker: Take off your gogo boots and put on ice skates !
	10:55am paul: Make it 6
	10:56am Earthwalker: We love Surface Noise !
	♥ 10:56am mariano: Ah, thanks Jay L (@10:43). Brian in UK: Maybe they're saying "No one can sin..."?
	10:57am Rick A.: In high school, I wore out the Johnny Rivers live at the Whiskey album, born John Ramistella, originally from New York though grew up in Louisiana which you can hear in his music. The latest Guy Ritchie film features, "The Snake", which is a great track of his.
	♥ 10:57am TDK60: Glass Eye! I knew them, stayed with them when touring in Austin. '86?
	♥ 10:57am YETI BOB: K. McCarty! Haven't heard her wonderful voice in a while
	♥ 10:58am Phillippe Bastille: Really great show today, Joe!
	10:59am paul: Damn. Gotta run. Stay safe, all.
	10:59am Rick A.: Kathy McCarty's voice is so uniquely beautiful. I saw her at Brownie's on Avenue A in 1995, promoting the Daniel Johnston covers album which is great as was the show. She should be more famous.
	♥ 11:00am zopa: Autoharp?
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Phillippe: Glad you're enjoying! Now I've done 7 decades of 45s, I'm going to stop there. But I want to play one more....
	♥ 11:00am Brian in UK: mariano, that may well be the case.
	♥ 11:00am DJ Guin: Loving this set, @JoeMcG -- that is all.
	♥ 11:00am Webhamster Henry: Autoharp alert!
	♥ 11:01am The Oscar: I played electric autoharp in a band in my 20s because I was too lazy to learn guitar. I would've flipped for this (and still do!)
	♥ 11:01am tim from champaign (now washington): My chimp brain dont work good right now. I know the original as a De LA Soul sample but who did it.
	♥ 11:01am Brian in UK: Seely Dan & autoharp in the same sentence. Whodathoughtit.
	♥ 11:02am YETI BOB: seems to be a major Steely Dan revival going on
	♥ 11:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I always thought "Misunderstanding" was an outlier on the Duke album. Very pop compared to the rest of it.
	♥ 11:03am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh yeah, Steely Dan. Next question...who's t he killer drummer on this Genesis cut? ;)
	11:03am asheville jon: Oh nooooo, philth collins on wfmu, the horror!!!
	♥ 11:03am Brian in UK: Hearing 'Do It Again' for the first time got my attention.
	11:03am Emily: Yr killing me, Joe
	♥ 11:03am zopa: The whole Duke album has a fuzzy sweater feel to it, for me anyway.
	11:04am Tank Top: Whoa, what happened? Turn the car around we missed our exit!
	11:04am Rick A.: All the Peter Gabriel fans are knashing their teeth right now which is fine.
	♥ 11:04am Lizardner Dave !: I worked in a deli when I was in college and we used so sing along with this as "There must be mustard on my sandwich/There must be some kind of mistake/I've been standing in the line for hours/You gave me mayonnaise".
	♥ 11:04am sim: @asheville jon. You should hear what JA in the AM does to Phil Collins.
	11:04am Santos L Halper: Had Duke in my head all weekend, thanks Joe!
	11:05am Brendan: There must be some misunderstanding, some kind of mistake. I expected to hear Kevin Ayers at 11o’clock and I’m hearing Phil Collins- this is revolting.
	♥ 11:06am Brian in UK: Give Phil a break someone had to be in Genesis.
	11:06am P-90: “Legal ID: take 2”
	♥ 11:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I never really liked the Peter Gabriel era so I get a lot of entertainment out of the griping.
	♥ 11:07am sim: Julie from Dark Night of the Soul played a cut or two from Genesis' first album. VERY Kinks sounding. Real nice!
	♥ 11:07am Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	♥ 11:08am Brian in UK: First Genesis album produced by the despicable Jonathan King.
	♥ 11:08am sim: I have carrots.
	♥ 11:08am -Ken: Imust admit, that IS a good pop song. Too bad about the singer. Phil Collins was in the background for so many hours of my life, now when he comes on, I just automatically tune it out like it's not there. I came to, just before the end of the song, to realize that it had redeeming value in the writing.
	♥ 11:09am PortsmouthJay: I got cake...
	♥ 11:09am The Oscar: Genesis was always my blindspot as a buyer for a used record store. I never did get a sense for which ones people wanted and which ones were considered uncool.
	♥ 11:09am JG: Morning all, Mariano, great call on The Snake. ANd The Gentleman was a pretty good movie. Just watched Johhny Rivers on youtube doing the snake. great!
	♥ 11:11am tim from champaign (now washington): Here's my music SAT analogy which I've shared before. Jack White is to Eric Clapton as Dave Grohl is to Phil Collins.
	♥ 11:11am PortsmouthJay: Bandcamp FTW!
	♥ 11:11am Handy Haversack: Yeah, shut it down, Joe!
	11:11am MplsCoco: Yeah Joe! screw Spotify!
	♥ 11:11am Handy Haversack: MplsCoco gets it!
	♥ 11:11am D Rok: I think it's safe to say many WFMU listeners hate Spotify. It's kind of the antithesis of what we value.
	♥ 11:12am Sylvia (France-NYC): we know one thing Spotify doesn’t do: pay artists
	11:12am morphe: genesis' original drummer Chris Stewart - lives in Adulusiia, Sp .. Wrote some good books .. now leads nature tours... https://www.casa-ana.com/walking-holidays-with-chris-stewart

	11:13am Johnny Staten Island: Spectacular single file as always
	♥ 11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh, I've seen that Island comp around.
	♥ 11:14am mariano: Thanks, JG... though the credit goes to Rick A for "The Snake." Since we're baring our sinful souls, I've always kinda liked "Man on the Corner" as far as Collins-era Genesis.
	♥ 11:14am Webhamster Henry: WFMU is my Spotify.
	♥ 11:14am -Ken: Spotify refused to allow an employee to be interviewed on Techtonic. I wanted to do it (filling in for Mark), the employee wanted to do it, Squatify said no

	♥ 11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): Did Meat Puppets steal that opening guitar line?
	♥ 11:15am PortsmouthJay: Sandy Denny is one my top 5 favorite female vocalists of all time.
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: Word, PortsmouthJay. Word.
	♥ 11:16am Stanley: Word
	♥ 11:16am mariano: Yes, Sandy Denny forever!
	♥ 11:17am TDK60: Never heard of that "El Pea" comp. An only in the UK release, likely.
	♥ 11:17am Rev. Turnip Druid: Never used spotify. Hell, never even bought a single thing thru iTunes or whatever it's called now. Old Turnip defies the world.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @fuzzbear: Yum! @all: Glad to hear you all resist the Exploitify.
	♥ 11:17am tim from champaign (now washington): Mark Hurst's Spotify episode a few weeks ago is great listening. I'm pretty sure as that episode was airing, Spotify announced that artists could get greater promotion if they took a cut in royalties. They suck major ass.
	♥ 11:17am zopa: @ mariano: mine is "Keep It Dark"...
	♥ 11:18am Stanley: I had 'El Pea'. It was terrific, doubleIsland comp LP with a giant pea on the cover
	♥ 11:18am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: I read somewhere that Spotify tries to direct its users to computer generated music they themselves created, so they don't have to pay artists a dime.
	♥ 11:19am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and everyone
	♥ 11:20am Sylvia (France-NYC): musicians and workers are organizing as a union right now, lots of money loss due to the pandemic, and Spotify doesn’t pay at all, there’s also a petition asking for a penny a stream, instead of the current $0.0038 per stream. It’s all here www.unionofmusicians.org
	11:20am MplsCoco: 4Seasons! I wouldn't doubt it for a second!
	♥ 11:21am Sylvia (France-NYC): we have 19,000 signatures at the moment
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: I have told it before how I was at friend's once and convinced them to put on Suzy Hotrod's show, and band after band was brand new to both of us, and we were rocking out. And then his partner came home and decided it was "too much static" and put on a Spotify rockabilly channel, and I knew every single damn song that came on. Sigh.
	♥ 11:21am tim from champaign (now washington): @Four Seasons - that just shows Spotify is run by jerks who don't like music. That's called Muzak, Spotify.
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: I sent to Kate, Sylvia. Merci.
	♥ 11:22am TDK60: Never heard of this musicians' union, Sylvia. Good for them!
	♥ 11:22am Matt Fiveash: If you play Guns n' Roses I'm switching to spotify!
	11:23am MplsCoco: @handy aren't some people just the worst!
	♥ 11:23am D Rok: Handy Haversack: And that's why we love WFMU! Every day, I hear several songs I've never heard before! Every. Day.
	♥ 11:24am mariano: Sylvia: Wow! I had no idea Spotify was so scummy. Glad I've barely ever used it, (YouTube hypocrite though I be). Can anyone sign the petition? If not, I do have one obscure music credit to my name from years ago if I can use that. Handy: Ugh! Corporate playlists have dulled the collective musical aesthetic the way fast food has dulled the collective palate. Keep playin' them hits...
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @MF: You know you should never dare a WFMU DJ....but I really don't like that group. You're safe, Matt!
	♥ 11:24am Yes: this is sweet
	♥ 11:25am Sylvia (France-NYC): among the signatures there’s Damon & Naomi (from Galaxie 500), Zola Jesus, (and us!) www.unionofmusicians.org...
	♥ 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): 3 plays to make a penny. that means 3 hundred plays to make a dollar. So bogus.
	11:26am P-90: Chico Baby!
	11:27am Mike tp: popped from sandy to chico.gumbs diggin
	11:27am morphe: The partner hating FMU - a funny commanality at FMU -all of my long term partners (3 x 10 years+) hated FMU .. lovely Maribel accepts and listens and likes and now listens on her own - I can even play BBC news throughout my unslept nights ... !!! anohter peeve of the ex-es....
	♥ 11:27am rabblerabble: Love Chico! Thx Joe!
	♥ 11:27am JG: Sandy Denny's voice.. also back to Johnny Rivers, there are no bad johnny rivers songs
	♥ 11:27am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Handy great! @TDK60 it’s brand new! It had been up in the air for a while then pandemic hit and something had to be done
	11:28am Joe B: greetings Joe and everyone
	11:28am Fletchernyc: Sounds like Gabor Szabo on guitar
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: @rabble rabble: This whole record slays.
	11:28am Joe B: @JG - agreed re johnny rivers
	♥ 11:29am Handy Haversack: UGH. Another meeting. Great show, Joe! Thanks so much. Be well, all. Will see some of you at the Next Joe Up's place!
	♥ 11:29am mariano: Bon courage, Handy!
	♥ 11:30am tim from champaign (now washington): I love Impulse! era Chico. The suavest drumming bandleader around.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: Hey Joe B.! What do you have in store for us today?
	♥ 11:31am TDK60: Sylvia, Soutenez le syndicat! Support the union!
	♥ 11:32am rabblerabble: @ Joe McG: Absolutely. This album and Man from Two Worlds are fantastic.
	♥ 11:33am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: Feet don't fail me now!
	♥ 11:34am Sylvia (France-NYC): @mariano I’m asking on twitter if non musicians can sign
	11:35am thomas: during the show...I had ice cream...had sex...walked the dog...watched a Marx Bros film...fixed a leaky pipe...called mom...listened to great music...beautiful show...
	11:35am Mike tp: thanks joe for super choice selections..caminho.another cooker for el gumbo
	11:35am Joe B: @joe - not sure yet. for the record, I am pro 'Misunderstanding' - great song!
	11:36am Martinibomb: Hologram Teen! Yay <3 <3 <3
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: @thomas: You are one industrious fellow! Good job! Thanks, Mike tp!
	♥ 11:38am Steve from Dunwoody: extra zzs make all the diff.
	♥ 11:39am Mister Dobalina: Tune'd in epicly later'd today, but glad I'm catchin' this track!
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: I'm as surprised as you are that we ended up in the disco from starting with Sandy Denny, but hey, that's what happens sometimes!
	♥ 11:40am YETI BOB: dancin' around the house!
	♥ 11:41am JG: and a good day to you Joe B!
	♥ 11:42am Mister Dobalina: Someone is cooking bacon & I don't know who it is...driving me crazy.
	♥ 11:42am JG: Joe M, this show made the morning fly by. great stuff
	♥ 11:43am TDK60: Mr. Dobalina, I'm vegetarian now but still enjoy the aroma of cooking bacon. Ethical dilemma fills my life..
	♥ 11:43am adampsyche: commenting late but I've been awake and this has been a great show to wake up to! thanks again Joe!
	♥ 11:44am tim from champaign (now washington): This bass player must use industrial strength rubber bans for strings.
	♥ 11:44am Carmichael: Heya Joe and winners. Short work week, unless you're a turkey baster.
	♥ 11:44am Roberto: TDK60, vegan Smart Bacon(TM) smells similar to meat bacon, at least to me. The cat can't tell the diff.
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: @JG, adamp: Glad it wasn't too painful!
	♥ 11:44am Mister Dobalina: It could be vegan bacon, TD...
	♥ 11:45am D Rok: This track is so FUNKY! My bones can't take it! (don't stop)
	♥ 11:45am Mister Dobalina: Gonna have to clicky star fav this one.
	♥ 11:46am TDK60: Ah Roberto, there ya go, didn't think of that.. I had a vegan friend who angrily denounced me for even liking the taste of soy-as-sausage. I was speechless.
	♥ 11:47am Gaylord Fields: @Joe McG @Joe B: Count me among the pro-"Misunderstanding" minority here. It still kinda leaves me nonplussed when someone says in surprise, "[DJ] played [a particular uncool/once-popular artist] — on WFMU???" That stance is the opposite of what the freeform radio ethos is.
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: I come to jam!
	11:47am Brendan: Whoever learns to make the bacon equivalent of Beyond Meat will surely be immortalized.
	♥ 11:47am johnc: Oh Yeah! Alright!
	♥ 11:47am Joe McG: @Gaylord: Agree most heartily!
	♥ 11:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe McG FUNKS YOU UP!
	♥ 11:48am Mister Dobalina: Jelly, jam, preserve...it's all good to me!!
	♥ 11:48am 12539: That Gaylord is so smart.
	♥ 11:48am JG: @ joe M , mondays basically suck, except for morning and afternoon FMU sounds
	♥ 11:48am YETI BOB: @TDK: That's an example of "bad vegan". It's good not to eat animals, bad to be an a-hole about it. And enjoying smells of things is completely innocent.
	♥ 11:49am The Oscar: I'm not sure why, but ending on "We're coming to Utah!" made me laugh out loud.
	♥ 11:49am Gaylord Fields: @Brendan: As a vegetarian of about 30 years, I will personally slaughter 10,000 pigs if that would somehow magically causes vegan bacon to become a thing.
	♥ 11:49am Mister Dobalina: It's like I'm back the ol' Limelight...just kiddin' I never went there..a bit before my time.
	♥ 11:50am efd: I fully support everything after the first sentence of Gaylord's comment at 11:47.
	♥ 11:50am mariano: Sylvia: Thanks so much! It did let me sign, and I am technically a musician in that I've been playing guitar very lazily for almost 40 years now, and can dig up one obscure, ancient All Music credit for some session work I did ;)
	♥ 11:50am Joe McG: @Oscar: Ha, me too! @JG: Always happy to hear that we help make Monday easier to take.
	♥ 11:51am TDK60: Thanks counselor Yeti. My day will go a bit more smoothly.
	♥ 11:51am Gaylord Fields: @efd: Fair enough!
	♥ 11:51am Sylvia (France-NYC): have you guys tried tempeh bacon? it’s quite good @mariano oh great!
	♥ 11:51am Mister Dobalina: The Duane Train.
	11:52am egould310: Thanks for the tunes, Joe McG. Nice way to wake up and start vacation week.
	♥ 11:52am Four Seasons Grain & Seed: The non Rick Astley version, huh?
	♥ 11:52am Mister Dobalina: Oh, it's Monday, not Tuesday...I know my daze by the FMU shows that are playing at the time.
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: I wish there were a Barry White/Patrice mash-up. They won't give each other up!
	11:53am morphe: Thanks Joe and all.....
	♥ 11:54am tim from champaign (now washington): @Gaylord - I've been vegetarian for 30 years too. Since 1990.
	♥ 11:54am Stanley: WFMU 'Never gonna give you up'
	♥ 11:54am Sylvia (France-NYC): see you on Irene’s board for some of you! Thanks for the show, Joe
	♥ 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe! Be well all you blockheads.
	♥ 11:54am Brian in UK: Nice work, Joe.
	♥ 11:54am TDK60: Gracias skeleton DJ Joe.
	♥ 11:55am mariano: YETI BOB (@11:48) - I'm an omnivore and have had/have many vegetarian/vegan friends, never once been an issue among any of us. There's some yummy vegan stuff these days, like those smoothies made with cashew milk, raw cacao, real peanut butter, etc. Thank you Joe McG, way to start off everyone's Monday. Later, folks.
	♥ 11:55am Gaylord Fields: @tim: Cool! I can't see ever going back to eating meat — but I do want better vegan bacon!
	♥ 11:56am radioronan: Thanks Joe..thanks skeleton crew!
	11:56am Brendan: Thanks for giving Joe.
	♥ 11:56am nortonjutland: thank you Joe !!

	♥ 11:58am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a happy Thanksgiving, if you're having one. See you next time!
	♥ 11:58am Roberto: Prosschai? That's not one I heard when I visited Russia.
	♥ 11:58am efd: @Joe Terrible pun, wish I'd thought of it.
	♥ 11:58am DJ Guin: Tovarisch Joe McGaskoski! Da svedonya!
	♥ 11:58am Yes: thanks joe!
	♥ 11:58am PaulRobeson1920: Thanks Joe and Skelton Crew! Peace and love ya’ll!
	♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. See you blockheads later!
	♥ 11:59am Mister Dobalina: Artie Shaw reminds me of all the acetate records I've got to get rid of.
	♥ 11:59am Mister Dobalina: Gosh, I really like Brak!
	♥ 11:59am DJ Guin: Happy Thanksgiving, Josef!
