	9:06am Folsom: When did the station meet the goal? Was it hoof and mouth?
	9:06am Handy Haversack: Marley, in case it got lost in the WAB churn, congrats to you and Fenton! That's so exciting!
	👻 9:06am YETI BOB: I find it interesting that Jelena Milcetic felt she had to change her name to Helen Merrill. I wonder if people are more open to non-WASP names now than they were in the 50's or if she would still do the same today.
	9:06am steveo: Good morning.
	9:07am melinda: howdy all!
	9:07am Joe McG: Good morn, radio friends, and thank you SO MUCH for going that extra mile and getting us to our goal this year. You all are the best!

	9:07am john_zilla: \o/ \o/
	9:07am Joe McG: @Brendan: Living on the air in Jersey City, WFMU. :)
	9:08am Rick A: Long live WKRP!
	9:08am Uncle Michael: Good morning. I love everyone today.

	9:10am Lixiviated Life: I'm for all things Chet Baker (except the chemical addiction part)
	9:10am Rich in Bay Ridge: Good morninng Joe and McGangsters
	9:10am βrian: Chesney!
	9:10am Handy Haversack: @Folsom, about half an hour before the first note of Hoof and Mouth!
	👻 9:10am YETI BOB: Awww Uncle Michael, that's marvelous
	9:11am Krys O.: @Yeti Bob: The answer is no, the majority of folks still have issues with certain names.
	9:11am Brendan: @Joe, and in our hearts, you celebrity heartthrob.
	9:11am John in Phoenixville: @ Joe McG These first two tracks are ones I usually listen to after midnight, but I’m enjoying them as a start to Moody Monday. Curiously, I just got new vinyl reissues of these Merrill and Baker albums!
	9:12am Brendan: You and Sheila killed it last night. Great job!
	9:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Motley Krewn...
	9:13am Joe McG: @John: Yes, sometimes I wish I could magically transport myself to the midnight hour to do sets like this. I just thought it would be nice to bring things down after 2 weeks of non-stop uptempo hysteria.
	9:13am Miles: cocktails at tHis hour? 🍸
	👻 9:14am YETI BOB: good plan Joe, things did get a bit frantic
	9:14am John in Phoenixville: @ Joe McG. Much appreciated in all respects. This Julie London is on my after-midnight rotation as well.
	9:14am Son Of Pantz: I'll take a Scotch and seltzer.
	9:15am βrian: Seltzer! There's an Old World word.
	9:15am Handy Haversack: Joe, do you have a long day of work and math ahead of you after the show?
	9:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...April in Paris, Julie in London is what I always says...
	9:15am McGroovey: This is perfect music for not yelling over asking for money! For listening like money doesn't matter!
	9:16am B R M: Hartman/ Coltrane version of Lush Life will always be my fav... but these voices! So buttery and mixed so well. swoon
	9:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ok Joe but I just have 10 questions about my pledge ...just kidding...
	9:17am Tim 07030: I've already smoked two packs while staring moodily into the distance during this set. And good morning and congrats to you, Joe!
	9:17am βrian: Uptempo hysteria = A peyote triumphs
	9:17am Joe McG: @Handy: Hopefully not too much math, but certainly still the marathon continues for me for a week or more afterwards. @RR63: Ha ha!
	👻 9:17am Webhamster Henry: This set is probably very useful for people in time zones about 10-12 hours later than EDT.
	9:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: B R M that's the bar...
	9:18am Joe McG: @Tim: Ha ha, under a streetlamp, I hope.
	9:18am Jim the Poet: I definitely live the lush life

	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: Joe, CONGRATULATIONS.
	9:19am Son Of Pantz: Will we hear some Judy Garland, Joe? I have my barbiturates at the ready.
	👻 9:19am Threemoons: Morning Joe, fellow Yip Yips. Out the door soon for Fauci Ouchie #2!
	9:20am TonyR: Can you still fit into your "Valley of the Dolls" wardrobe test?
	👻 9:20am Marley P. Dogg: Thanks Handy - picking up the pup this afternoon- I’ll send you a picture
	9:20am Tim 07030: Speaking of streetlamps, the new Willie Nelson album cover made me LOL (as Willie would say) when I first saw it.
	9:21am Handy Haversack: Congrats, Threemoons! Also, Kate and the hound walked over into LIC yesterday, and Kate reports that Dominie's Hoek is open again! We'll both be second-vaxxed by mid-April and are starting to talk about what that might mean ... Nice, Marley, please do!
	9:21am word: This set is perfect for this morning.
	9:21am John in Phoenixville: I was going to ask for a little Chris Connor to go with the mood you’re setting so well, but you’ve got it covered. Good song choice too, Joe.
	9:22am McGroovey: This music is very useful for people 0 hours ahead of EDT. Sez I.
	9:22am TonyR: Coral had a reputation for using easily broken materials for their singles.
	9:23am Uncle Michael: I used to get high and read fairy tales.
	9:23am TonyR: iI think the ghost of Coral is running my VPN connection to WFH. That 9:30 meeting is going to be festive.
	9:23am Joe McG: @TonyR: This LP is a bit stiff and shellac-feeling.
	9:24am Paulo AD: Evening all :)
	9:24am Karen's Mountain View: Did any of you catch Handsome Joe McG singing twice last night? Hubba Hubba!
	9:24am Creature Boy: She had a face you could read by and a place to rest your drink. She walked in to my office & my heart sunk as I rose to my feet. i hardly had a chance to straighten my tie when...
	9:25am Paulo AD: Joe - Thanks fro sorting out my swag for life debacle :)
	9:25am TonyR: I only saw "Love is Strange", which was beautiful.
	9:25am BillyLundun: I give this set 5 out 5 martinis!
	9:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Drummer Stream kicked grand phat gluteus btw.
	9:25am Karen's Mountain View: He also did the theme to WKRP
	👻 9:25am YETI BOB: Melle Mel Torme!
	9:26am DJ Guin: the Golden Smog
	👻 9:26am Webhamster Henry: Dorothy Collins was still married to Raymond Scott at the time of that recording.
	9:26am TonyR: [Takes all the drinks] Now you have 0. That's math.
	👻 9:26am YETI BOB: (Tormé, of course)
	👻 9:26am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm no professional music judger by any means, but I found last night's karaoke performances to be very good. Would not change a thing. 👍
	9:26am wenzo llc.: good ole' Mel
	9:27am courtneynoir: Good morning, all. And congrats, WFMU!
	9:27am βrian: Velvet Foghat was Doug's first band's name.
	👻 9:27am Webhamster Henry: We used to have live band Karaoke here that was amazing! the band would play for about 3 hours straight!
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I would change the delay between backing tracks & vocals. But then again ?...
	9:27am TonyR: The Marathon taught me what my bosses knew for years. I really need to be yelled at.
	9:28am The Oscar: Fun fact: "These Foolish Things" was written about the great Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong! (Also congrats!!!)
	9:28am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, JMC! You KILLED last night, as we have come to expect.
	👻 9:28am waters7: your killing me with kindness. xo
	👻 9:28am Threemoons: @Handy just saw this and YAY! IIRC the other part of my Sunday rotation, Judy and Punch, is open also! Summer can't come fast enough....
	9:29am D Rok (in brooklyn): Beautiful set this morning, Joe McG.
	9:29am Joe McG: @Oscar: Really? Wow! @Greg: Aw, thanks, I had a really great time singing with Sheila despite technical snafus.
	9:29am Colleen: Ooohhh Joooee...this is all sooo goood!!!
	9:29am TDK60: Didn't know we'd hear from a president.
	9:29am Son Of Pantz: Creature Boy stars in the new hard-boiled thriller, "The Dame With The Loaded Eyes"
	9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Did not even realize there would be a Hoof&Mouth this year! So you kicked that hard in the gluteus too FMU...
	9:31am Joe McG: @TDK: THE President. Glad everyone's enjoying the mellow. We'll pick it up soon, I'm just easing in.
	9:31am tom in Glasgow: Chill Week is always a really nice post-marathon fixture
	9:32am eºIºk: @TonyR@9:27, you’re not alone. @Yeti Bob@9:06, well, she’s not a singer AFAIK, but Croatian actor Ivana Milicevic hasn’t changed her name and has gotten some good TV roles.
	9:32am The Oscar: Looking into it I guess there's actually some debate-- it's probably either about Wong, Hermoine Gingold (!!), or Jean Ross. Still, I want to believe!
	9:33am Blix: Joe...I made a small pledge Saturday night but I didn't get an email confirmation (which I thought always happened in the past) nor was the pledge acknowledged on air (which is no big deal). Typical wait time thing or worth looking in to? BTW great job last night; I only had audio for your song, and I hope you dressed up like Herb Tarlick.
	9:33am fm Mike: Maaan, I woke up too late for Clay's show!!!! But this sounds nice too, gotta admit.
	9:34am Creature Boy: haha @pantz
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Artie Shaw - Dropping Out before Julian Cope...
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: Blix - I always get the email immediately - it sounds like something may have gone wrong. But let's see what Joe says.
	👻 9:35am Brian in UK: Tom in Glasgow. Did you get any sleep?
	9:36am tom in Glasgow: ha ha approximately 4am-9:55am before my 10am shift... i work weird patterns, though, so this actually my last one of the week and my weekend's tomorrow
	9:38am Creature Boy: Diggin these crazy sides , blood. Man oh mango chutney
	9:39am Don: Good morning everyone. Such a refreshing morning. Glad I found this station.
	9:39am fionnland: Nice set so far! Too Marvelous for Words has popped up for me a couple times this week - love Lee Konitz ripping through it with the Gerry Mulligan/Chet Baker Quartet
	👻 9:41am YETI BOB: Don - welcome! Make sure you check out WFMU at 9AM on Friday.
	9:42am B R M: No, thank YOU ... always appreciate when gratitude is a two-way street!
	👻 9:43am Webhamster Henry: Not only can you still pledge, the SWAG IS STILL AVAILABLE!
	9:44am Don: @Yeti. Plan to.
	9:45am TDK60: You have that huge WFMU library almost to yourself.
	9:45am tom in Glasgow: in reality, a velvet fog would likely be very oppressive
	9:45am Handy Haversack: I finally had a chance to listen to the state of the station show yesterday. Very proud that 11222 was the third-most-common zip code after 11215 and the United Kingdom. If the stupid ferry company would get its crap together, the Greenpoint-Jersey City commute would be such a breeze!
	9:45am Creature Boy: Lester Young ! Thx for reminding me Joe
	9:46am The Oscar: My partner pledged for the first time this year! Last night during the marathon, when Ken and Michele were talking about necrophilia, she turned to me and said, "I am SO HAPPY this station exists!"
	👻 9:46am YETI BOB: Lester Young was probably the coolest cat ever. (He coined the word "cool", according to some)
	9:47am Spring has Sprung: @Yeti Bob, maybe she just got tired of people mispronouncing and misspelling her non-WASP name. Speaking from personal experience ;)
	9:47am Steve from Dunwoody: + Leap in, Yeti Bob!
	9:47am PaulRobeson1920: Yip yip !
	9:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Prez & the Birth of (the) Cool - read all about it : www.amazon.com...
	👻 9:48am YETI BOB: @Spring: It's a cycle, people don't know how to pronounce "odd-looking" names, so they never see them, and they remain odd-looking.
	👻 9:49am Webhamster Henry: I was kind of hoping for a live rendition of the Party Girls song from Jim Price, but it was a great show!
	9:49am Joe McG: Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention how a couple of those songs mentioned spring - the breeze of March and so on. Here we are and happy spring!
	9:49am Handy Haversack: May it be a much happier spring than the last one -- for all of us.
	👻 9:51am YETI BOB: @Joe - thanks for not playing "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most"
	👻 9:51am YETI BOB: (I like that song but it's a bummer)
	9:51am Joe McG: @YETI: Yeah, I wasn't feeling that one today, much as I like it.
	9:53am headcleaner: a joy and a blessing it is to have you and the rest of WFMU with us for another year, Joe
	9:53am ?: Is this song dedicated to those $GME apes?
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Happy Schpring ! & Joyeux Solar Returns to all the ⦿Suns in ♈︎Aries ! : www.facebook.com...
	9:55am Dayffid: Loving this set so far
	9:58am Jeffrey D: What a great start to the week...thanks as ever Joe
	9:59am PaulRobeson1920: 91.1FM sounding clear! Good morning from a 14ft lorry on the corner of 11th av & 42nd st! Hoooray for WFMU!!!! What a beautiful day! My baby loves the spring time!
	9:59am TonyR: I think JMcG revealed his full surname on one of the marathon shows. I, too, have a surname too laden with consonants.
	9:59am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, JD!
	10:00am bukowski.: ♡♡♡♡♡
	10:02am Hubig Pie: Sabah al-khair
	10:02am Don: Meeting time. Ugh
	10:02am TDK60: Love that string instrument - a tanbur or setar possibly. Liraz's voice too.
	10:03am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe, you are casting a magical spell this morning! Listening with my THREE kids- newly minted mini-glistener is two weeks old already! <3 manages to sneak you some bird-seed during marathon :) Much love for all you do!!!
	10:03am Blix: @JoeMcG...may have missed a question I posed above about a pledge I made Saturday night that never seemed to get confirmed. I have to leave now, but if you leave a message here about what I should do (email someone or just leave it and wait) I'll come back here later and heed your advice.
	10:03am Handy Haversack: Good to see you, Rachel! Hope all is well! TDK60, definitely. I keep meaning to pick up this album.
	10:04am Joe McG: @RBR: Wow, congrats on your new addition! @Blix: If you wouldn't mind e-mailing me at jmcgasko@wfmu.org, I can take care of you after the show.
	10:04am tom in Glasgow: Blix, you might be best off emailing jmcgasko@wfmu.org to make sure it isn't missed
	10:05am TDK60: Hello, Handy. Rachel, congrats on the arrival of your babe.
	10:05am Blix: Got it! Thanks! Great show thus far as always.
	10:05am tom in Glasgow: congrats Rachel!
	10:06am TonyR: The pledge confirmation bots responded to me like clockwork and almost immediately. All hiccups were local, and a result of my running a script-blocker.
	10:07am Stevel: Good morning, and happy post successful marathon buzz to all!
	10:08am eric from lake hiawatha: Thanks for the AG!
	10:08am Rachel Bo Bachel: Thank you Tom in Glasgow! Tell Belle and Sebastian I say hi! Handy I miss you and all the accu-buddies!! Sooo buried these days lol! Hope you and Kate are well!!!
	10:08am Toutevoix: ((((((◍ ◍))))))
	10:09am Rachel Bo Bachel: TDK60 and Joe- thank you!! He is a little fuss-budget but I love him a lot already ❤️❤️❤️
	10:10am Spring has Sprung: @TonyR, my surname has 6 consonants and 2 vowels. One consonant pair occurs twice, so when I have to spell my name and get to the second pair, people think I'm starting over at the beginning. Oy
	10:11am Handy Haversack: Hanging in, Rachel! We're both a couple weeks out from second shot and desperate for spring. Hey, Stevel!
	10:13am fred: Good morning Joe and listeners. It's been a while since the station reached the goal during the marathon. A pleasant surprise
	👻 10:13am Will the Sound Guy: I picked up yol before the marathon, I can't wait to drop the needle on it
	10:14am Joe McG: @Will: Pretty great, they add some really new wave/dancey flavors into the mix.
	10:14am Handy Haversack: This set is fantastic, Joe. A perfect pivot from the first set. Wow, it's nice to be here and listening.
	10:18am Joe McG: @Handy: Glad to be here and glad you're enjoying.
	10:18am Son Of Pantz: I'm a SFL member and I still feel like I'm committing Grand Larceny. Compared to what I get from WFMU, I'd pay 10X it if I could afford to.
	10:19am fred: Does Matt Warwick know about Beautify Junkyards?
	👻 10:19am Will the Sound Guy: I agree with Handy, you're on point Joe
	10:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Flawless Playlist
	10:20am Dano59: This Jane Weaver's good stuff. You have learned much of the art of the segue, young Jedi
	10:21am chresti in tennis booth: Good morning from Griffith Park!
	10:21am Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍• ᴗ •◍꒱:+
	10:22am Dano59: also liked the Tom Zé. Amazing that this set is all. new stuff.
	10:23am Stashu: We made the goal! Thank you everyone! I’m still coming down from all the excitement. Hi Joe!
	10:24am Ernest: need to check out that Weaver record, sounds awesome. Thanks!
	10:24am Son Of Pantz: Dance with me, Stashu!
	10:25am Dano59: @The Oscar: your partner should check out Katie Halper on the Useful Idiots podcast. Their opening segments often comment on necrophilia as not such a bad thing, ethically (that's about as far as it goes , to be fair)
	10:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stashu you were an absolute Muppet in the greatest & highest sense.
	10:26am Dano59: wow ... nice! Perfect morning music. SE of Saturn compiles older releases?
	10:26am Rev. Turnip Druid: peeple.
	10:26am Joe McG: STASHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
	10:26am chresti in tennis booth: Another round of applause for Stashu and Joe! You guys were fabulous last night!
	👻 10:26am Will the Sound Guy: We made broke through the goal, it was exciting. Maybe you guys can fix that infamous toilet tank lid!
	10:26am Dano59: I was going to order Palladium so I think this is going on the list.
	10:27am Gaylord Fields: Hi, Joe! Hi, Stashu! I need to be here this morning, and not just for the usual reasons. Still have much WFMU love in reserve.
	10:27am Handy Haversack: What chresti said! You were fantabulistically wonderatious, Stashu!!!
	👻 10:27am rx scabin: Trying to work, but listening and now commenting instead. According to Clay, it is National Goof-off Day, so . . . .
	10:27am JR HTX: So nice to hear these selections ....after two weeks
	10:29am Dano59: I was importing covers and Rolling Stones stuff for my radio project; I had to stop and listen more intently. Jeez ... but thanks, Joe. Music is a salve, a balm ... and the bomb.
	10:29am Joe McG: Hey Gaylord!
	10:30am Dennis Diken: alright Joe! hey all! thanks to everyone!!
	10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Without WFMU life would be a mistake. - Fred Nietzsche
	👻 10:32am YETI BOB: "National Goof-Off Day" is providing me with an excellent excuse today. But I'm goofing off by cleaning the apartment instead of doing my "real job".
	10:32am Paulo AD: Thats me done for the day guys, have a great day ahead :)
	10:32am Gaylord Fields: Joe, I usually wake up at 11 on Mondays, but not this morning. I needed to bask in your aural sunlight as early as possible.
	10:35am Nuno: B. Junkyards are a PORTUGUESE band!
	10:36am Nuno: (and as for Tom Zé), it is Contos de FRALDAS ("diapers tales")
	10:36am Handy Haversack: Melenas from Pamplona, Spain.
	10:37am Handy Haversack: Gaylord, your selection and performance last night were absolutely perfect! Death! An absolute favorite for me and K8. We were shouting with joy -- thanks so much, Gaylord!
	10:38am headcleaner: obrigado pelo esclarecimento, Nuno
	10:38am TonyR: McGasko's a good cop!!
	10:39am Nuno: Um prazer. Great set.
	10:39am Matt Fiveash: Livin' on the air in Jersey City!
	10:39am Ernest: good choice.
	👻 10:39am YETI BOB: 50,000,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong!
	10:39am Spring has Sprung: Joe n Stashu were so cute during the Marathon. Yes I did pledge.
	10:39am Andrew: Elvis is KING!!!
	10:40am Uncle Michael: Love his voice. LOVE his songwriting. Really dig his covers. I might have more EC 45s than any other artist.
	10:40am Glorious Estephonic: ELVIS COSTELLO ! YESSSSS ! covers love his covers ! !!! so happy about this.
	10:40am The Oscar: Fingers crossed for "Psycho!"
	10:41am TonyR: Costello == a fine choice for this morning. Forget the h8rz.
	10:41am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe! Happy post-Marathon Monday :)
	10:41am Handy Haversack: I'd get on line for this Single File!
	10:41am Dano59: I heard the original of another Get Happy!! track the other day on Rock'n'Soul and ... I had no idea! I stand accused ...
	10:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Attractions - wotta band !!
	👻 10:42am Will the Sound Guy: Single file let's Go Joe McG! Bringing that Costello heat this morning.
	10:42am Son Of Pantz: Elvis Costello revived Chet Baker's career in the early 80's. It seems fitting you would play both today.
	10:42am jinjabredboy: wow @The Oscar - I was typing the exact same words!!!
	10:43am Jim the Poet: Elvis me
	10:43am Dano59: Taking Liberties and Out of Our Idiot are full of this stuff; and I have about 40 EC singles for others. So I have no excuse!
	10:43am Lixiviated Life: I'm afraid I'm gonna have to clicky-star every one of these. (let's see now...)
	10:43am headcleaner: the good vibes just pouring out of you today, Joe. Exactly what I need, post-marathan (and on the anniversary day of the lockdown in NYC, by my calculations)
	10:43am Spinning Giant: Morning all - looks like I picked a great time to drop in :D
	👻 10:43am YETI BOB: Honestly this has never really been 'my kind of music' (whatever that means) but I recognize his enormous talent & he's had a great career and I'm happy to listen to this segment today while I do some spring cleaning.
	10:44am Steve from Dunwoody: Work can wait when Elvis sings soul 45s
	10:45am Dano59: @headcleaner: I'm going by March 13, the first day we were told to work from home. I let the anniversary pass without comment. It's not as important, as, say, Nick Lowe's birthday (3/24)
	10:45am Steve from Dunwoody: Oh Yeti -- This is my wheelhouse. Let me show you my herky jerky dance!
	10:45am Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Handy (and K8)! I hope it was as cathartic for everyone as it was for me.
	👻 10:45am tadpoles: Excellent Joe. Elvis in Central Park a couple of years ago...brilliant! Bring 'em back! Cheers.
	10:46am Andres: Good morning, Joe and all! I thought the only argument regarding EC was EC with or without The Attractions.
	10:46am Dano59: the Trust tour in '09 was fantastic, as was Imperial Bedroom (and Other Chambers) in '17.
	👻 10:47am YETI BOB: (pops a couple of Ibuprofen and puts his dancin' shoes on)
	10:47am Dano59: The Damned ... an outlier. This was given away at a London show.
	10:48am The Oscar: WHOA-- never heard this one!
	10:48am chresti in tennis booth: And, before I actually start working, big ups to Gaylord for his astounding performance last night!
	10:48am Stevel: Brand new cover to me. Very cool!
	10:48am Dano59: one of the rarer EC singles
	10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only critique of ♍︎Virgo ElvisC might be sometimes you can hear him writing : a self-consciousness born of his acute intelligence. But if a critique is that some Pop is too Smart I'll deal with it! Nothing in light of his assets... Criticizing his voice just seems petty to me personally. A distinctive voice wielded effectively is what FunkPop-a-Rolla is all about... & maybe what he is reportedly like to be in a band with - but that's really none uh muh beeswax anyhow...
	10:49am bk845: This makes me wonder if the Damned's version is the original or a cover?
	10:50am The Oscar: YES.
	10:50am jinjabredboy: Yes
	10:51am Dano59: @RevRabbit: I've seen the same critique of Graham Parker. At least Elvis' songs are easier to cover 'cos GP's are very much of his brain.
	10:51am Lewis: oyyyy - this song is creepy no matter what, Elvis adds that little extra...
	10:51am mariano: Jesus, I turned on the show and thought for a second EC had died! 'Morning, Joe, Crew, folks. That's one way to jump-start one's heart ;)
	10:51am Tim 07030: My favorite version of "Psycho'
	10:51am headcleaner: @Dano59 - yeah it was all a bit of a blur. That date, March 13, was the last, or the next-to-last night the bars and such were open in NYC. In any case it was when Ken hit the Gong at the end of the Marathon finale on the 15th -- leading right into "Nowhere Places" -- that's when the lockdown, and the Great Year of Nothingness really started for me
	10:52am Handy Haversack: @Gaylord: very much! Much cathecting and catharting all through the Marathon, and last night was a glorious release of joy! Morning, Mariano!
	10:52am Dano59: my ex-wife wasn't a fan of Elvis' voice. that explains that. (he did do a lot of screaming on his records.)
	10:53am -Ken: Morning everybody. This version of Psycho brings back great memories
	10:53am headcleaner: I am sometimes a fan of Elvis's voice. This song is one of those times
	10:53am Bobnoss Dugnutt: The Jack Kittel version of this is probably my most played song of the last 6 months for some reason
	10:53am Spring has Sprung: Never heard this one before. I don't get it. Is he trying to redo a joke song as a genuine murder ballad?
	10:53am MD: CONGRATS TO WFMU FOR REACHING THE GOAL!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!! GREAT MARATHON!!!!
	10:53am The Oscar: "Psycho" is one of my favorite songs ever. I love that it gets to the natural murder ballad endpoint by the end of the first verse, and then just KEEPS GOING.
	10:53am Dano59: Rufus Wainwright did 'Psycho' too
	10:53am McGroovey: I live Psycho. Not sure if I've ever heard EC's version. It's good.
	10:54am McGroovey: *love (Not live)
	👻 10:54am tadpoles: Elvis' autobiography is an excellent read.
	10:54am Jim the Poet: My mama did think I was psycho
	10:54am Dano59: indeed ... Henry and Howard Coward
	10:54am mariano: Hey, Handy! And yeah, what a show, Gaylord!
	10:54am Lewis: @tadpoles - thanks for the recommendation!
	10:55am -Ken: @Oscar, I agree. By the end of "Psycho," the murderer has gotten even crazier, and doesn't even realize that he killed his Ma
	10:55am Dano59: much love for all the EC love, Joe.
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dano59: GrahamParsons ...& I love JoeJackson too while were @ it...
	10:55am Dano59: I could see him played by Vincent Gallo
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GrahamPARKER. ...Good Morning...
	10:57am KWilde: Great Richard Thompson song
	10:57am Dano59: @RevRabbit: Gram Parsons maybe too. But I thought of Joe as well.
	10:57am nathan: richard & linda cover??? where are you digging this stuff up
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: #PsychobillyForever
	👻 10:57am YETI BOB: @Steve from Dunwoody: I was trying to do the herky-jerky dance but the beat withered and died
	10:58am headcleaner: Ken's rap last night was even crazier than Psycho, I say
	10:58am Dano59: EC dueted with Tony Bennett on a Gershwin tribute; has sung Weill, worked with a classical quartet. No one more diverse or masterful. Until he met the Brodskys he couldn't even read music!
	10:59am Tim 07030: If you like EC doing covers, I highly recommend locating the 2-CD reissue of 'Kojak Variety' (unless you already have it!). The bonus CD is much better than the album if you ask me.
	10:59am Dano59: yeah it is @Tim
	10:59am johnk77: regarding the attractions pete thomas is 1 of the great live drummers also a very cool guy off-stage approachable, fun, nice to support acts and a big fan of african music
	11:00am Dano59: still looking for the hearts-label red vinyl 45 of this one
	11:00am headcleaner: non-reaading + otherwise "illiterate" musicians are among my favorite kind
	11:00am Handy Haversack: Great Single File, Joe! The hound and I are getting ready to head out, but it's hard to tear ourselves away from this! (I assume Bagpipe will let me speak for him in this matter.)
	👻 11:00am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and everybody. Congratulations on the Marathon success, Joe! I'm surprised you're still standing. :)
	11:01am Yooper_Listener_1970N: There we go - was waiting.
	11:01am Krys O.: Costello did a nice cover of A Good Year for the Roses.
	11:01am Dano59: "Nick Lowe and His Sound" - he pulled the same gag on a Jenny Lewis single
	11:01am thatpatsmith: makes the morning
	11:02am Dano59: Oh, @Kris -!! (swooon)
	👻 11:02am tim from champaign (now washington): @headcleaner - Did you ever hear this one? The music critic Dave Marsh responded to hearing that Ted Nugent said Marsh is his favorite music writer with "I wonder what he'll think when he learns how to read."
	11:02am Dano59: @Krys - sorry, autocorrect. OK, great set. Back to work work work...
	11:03am Pedro in Arlington: Costello hasn't gotten the "thanks for living long enough, you're now a legend" treatment like Santana and others. Maybe because he's worked in a variety of genres.
	11:04am Dano59: and the Hall, or the Grammy folk, don't know if he's pop or rock'n'roll enough. Bastids.
	11:04am Marko: On April, the Montclair (NJ) Literary Festival features Richard Thompson discussing his autobiography. The interviewer? Elvis Costello.
	11:05am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe! Later on, all!
	11:05am Marko: April 6!
	👻 11:05am nortonjutland: great single file; and back to good old regular Joe. thanks Joe!
	11:05am Dano59: I wonder if Joe plays this same music bed off vinyl every time.
	11:06am headcleaner: @tim - that's a good quote, + new to me
	11:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pedro a little like Joni if I could (or should) make such a comparison...
	👻 11:08am tim from champaign (now washington): @headcleaner - Musician's with an IQ of a chimp are generally my favorites too.
	11:09am Pedro in Arlington: Costello is a fun TV host. His Spectacle TV show is now on YouTube. And he was grand filling in for Letterman when Dave had heart surgery. I guess the guy needs money because his reissues should have stopped with the Rhino sets. But he's never sold much so I don't begrudge.
	11:10am Stevel: Great water drinking. Very pleasurable.
	11:11am Mike Sin: Great single file -- when I was younger, I always thought EC should have released his cover of "I Stand Accused" as a single!
	11:12am Son Of Pantz: Judd Nelson??? Where's that guy been hiding?
	👻 11:13am Ken From Hyde Park: Elvis Costello had a cancer issue a couple of years ago. I trust he is recovering and he is past it now.
	👻 11:14am tim from champaign (now washington): Do it to us! I love Joe's groaners!
	11:14am Kevlicki: “Hard earned” I’m keeping my earnings and trying to distribute my stimulus $ to places that can put it to good use!
	11:15am Barno: I saw a the premier of Electric Jesus at the virtual Toronto Film Fest. It was cute, especially for someone, like me, who was interested in Christian hair metal in the 80's :)
	11:17am Andres: For my part, I enjoy the lots of talking-on-air part and it always takes me awhile to adjust to the lack of it post-marathon.
	11:18am fred: Eleanor Rigby again? Is that a version you didn't play earlier? Will you be catching up for the rest of the show?
	👻 11:18am tim from champaign (now washington): @Barno - In 1987 I bought a tape of TSOL's Revenge. I was so excited. Then when I got home I discovered that Stryper had been duped on it. I was so crushed.
	11:18am Dano59: hmmm I don't see any April 6 event with RT and EC, but there is an April 8 virtual event with RT an Wesley (JWH) Stace. tix include RT's book, signed. and he lives in Montclair? damn.
	11:18am Tim 07030: Is this turning into southern rock?
	11:19am egould310: That’s annoying as fuck.
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HowardGoodall woke me to the unobserved in plain sight that EleanorRigby is Modal like ancient UK stuff... Not a lot of Pop up to then like that @ all...
	11:19am Joe McG: @fred: Time will tell, Fred!
	11:19am Kotzwinkled: This Eleanor Rigby Morse Code beeping is tripping my dog out.
	👻 11:20am tim from champaign (now washington): This version is "o-tay" in my book.
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ScarboroughFair for instance another Modal Folk style one...
	👻 11:20am YETI BOB: @RR63: Dorian, to be specific. If you've never seen Alan W. Pollock's Beatles notes, you might enjoy them - www.icce.rug.nl...
	11:21am steveo: this r eminds me of a dream i had once
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Righteous YetiB !
	11:21am Dano59: @Rev how about the Left Banke? baroque pop, maybe not modal (count me among the musically semi-illiterate)
	11:22am Tim 07030: Eleanor Rigby / Qu'est-ce que
	11:22am Asheville Jon: we pledge to wfmu to then be aurally assaulted by this? sigh.
	11:22am John in Phoenixville: Will you be playing Morgana King’s version of “Eleanor Rigby”?? She knows how it feels to be lonely.
	👻 11:22am YETI BOB: @RR63: Also Dorian - "Purple Haze"
	11:22am Jim the Poet: Did Shatner do Eleanor Rigby
	11:22am Brendan: I thought you had reformed, but still, the sadistic behavior continues.This is a most heinous crime.
	11:23am Dano59: in the last 2-3 weeks I've been down a Billy Joel rabbithole, an R.E.M. rabbithole, and now fixing a Beatles rabbithole where the rain gets in ...
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dano59: Well - I wonder if it's like saying there was No Poetry in Rawk Before Dylan. True & Not True... LeftBanke are PostFabs for sure...
	11:23am LouV: been really into that third wave eleanor rigby cover that you played on Scott's show last week - so good!
	11:23am Spardocus: This cover should be outlawed. I'd rather hear aerosmith than this!
	👻 11:23am YETI BOB: "Modal" is a tricky word. "Modal jazz" uses mode-changes in place of (or alongside) chord changes. These folk tunes stay in one mode, which is Dorian
	11:24am Asheville Jon: i'd rather hear Joe play 3 hours of billy joel!
	11:24am Dano59: @Rev - the influence went both ways with Dylan and the Fabs
	11:24am Spring has Sprung: @RR1163; oh interesting. I was actually wondering about that hearing that great Y-L Unlimited version (thank you Joe). Learned a tiny bit of modes music theory years ago, it's fascinating
	11:24am Son Of Pantz: Be careful what you wish for @Asheville Jon.
	11:24am Yes: jams
	11:25am fred: OK then, so you have a drunk guy version? Because that was my favorite in Ken's Bohemian Rhapsody show (I guess he stole the idea from you, but made it worse, as is his wont)
	11:25am WaffleMix: It just won't end
	👻 11:25am YETI BOB: But all traditional music is in one mode or another! Major key is Ionian, and minor is Aeolian. Dorian is sort of a different, less common version of a minor key (minor 3 while retaining the major 6 and 7).
	11:25am Asheville Jon: i could handle it! :)
	11:25am Dano59: I guess I haven't been on enough Monday mornings to realize this song is Joe's Felder-like Achilles' heel.
	11:26am Asheville Jon: oh noooooooo more beatless covers. ugh, switching to the drummer stream
	11:26am steveo: 1965?
	11:26am Uncle Michael: Eleanor Rigby picked up her eyes in a church where a wedding had been.
	11:26am Dano59: I think Troubadors of British Folk on Rhino opened me up to the Child Ballads and stuff via Fairport and others. that's usually what it takes for a post-folk revival boomer. Elton John might also have dabbled.
	11:26am Matt Fiveash: Look at him working, putting his socks on his hands and his gloves on his feet
	11:27am DJ Guin: this is what Hell sounds like for Lennon and Harrison
	11:27am Joe McG: That 3 hour Billy Joel special is a great idea!
	11:27am mariano: Wait, why all these "Eleanor Rigby" covers? Don't tell me she died too!
	11:27am Spardocus: 2 or so years ago I caught a set on FMU comprised entirely of covers of Toto's 'Africa' It was wild. Thought I was in the midst of a fever dream, but nope. Simply FMU doing FMU things.
	11:27am Rich in Bay Ridge: Those darn socks!
	11:27am Asheville Jon: go for it joe!
	11:27am Dano59: Good lord, just play 'Father McKenzie' by "Eleanore Rigby" and be done with it!
	11:28am Dano59: ... and yet no one has dared mash this up with 'Elenore'. ... the mind reels
	11:28am Asheville Jon: hey Joe, how about playing the Emmett Chapman cover of eleanor rigby?
	11:28am Matt Fiveash: Scottie McKenzie, going to Frisco with flowers all over his hair, nobody cares
	11:28am Erin in TO: I am loving this covers set
	11:28am Lewis: this hurts very badly...
	👻 11:28am rx scabin: No Billy Joel please ever. For some reason, just hearing his name makes me red-faced angry. I do not know why.
	11:28am Son Of Pantz: You wouldn't, Joe. Say it ain't so.
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB - Thx ! ...In my ignorance - I basically think of Modal in terms of being - on a few notes in a scale around a tonal center / drone - like Indian music. Just listened to a McCartney interview in which he says he & John called breaks a 'middle eight' - however many bars it actually was - cause they heard real musicians talk & had no idea ! ...for instance...
	11:28am Yes: :::slaps leg. buckles up::
	11:28am Tim 07030: Foggy Mountain Rigby!
	11:28am Uncle Michael: My computer allows me to change my listening choice without making an announcement about it. Others need to look into that upgrade.
	11:28am Lewis: what @Dano59 said...
	11:28am thatpatsmith: Aretha's Eleanor cover is also great
	11:28am Dano59: @Matt F: ho ho ho...
	👻 11:29am tim from champaign (now washington): Eleanor Rigby smokin' grass!
	11:29am Kotzwinkled: At the risk of crossing streams, Chances with Wolves did a two hour show of "Rigby" covers, if you dare: www.chanceswithwolves.com...
	👻 11:29am YETI BOB: @RR: I wasn't trying to correct you - just wanted to add a bit of detail. You weren't wrong.
	11:29am Asheville Jon: Emmett Chapman's version: www.youtube.com...
	11:29am DJ Guin: Elenore was a pastiche of Happy Together when the record execs asked for another hit song like Happy Together
	11:30am steveo: the devil went down to his socks in the night when there's nobody there
	11:30am Spring has Sprung: Who was the fmu dj who used to always rag on him calling him Billy Jo-EL?
	11:30am ?: Fingers crossed for a disco version!
	11:30am Yes: GO JOE GO
	11:30am DJ Guin: no one ruins a song like the Queen of Soulless
	11:30am fred: A Billy Joel special right after the marathon... If not then, then when?
	👻 11:30am tim from champaign (now washington): For all you groaners, jusrt be glad Joe isn't doing back to back 'When I'm 64' covers.
	11:30am Uncle Michael: wow..prescient!
	11:31am Asheville Jon: UM!!!!
	11:31am Rich in Bay Ridge: This Disco one is pretty good
	11:31am Son Of Pantz: "Get down Eleanor"?
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB: Thx - Sincerely. I want to be Schooled re Musics.
	11:31am DJ Guin: Disco Rigby and All Your Favorites on K-Tel's Super Sounds of the Seventies
	11:32am Joe McG: Maybe if Eleanor had got down, she wouldn't have been so lonesome.
	11:32am Brendan: My god this is horrible
	11:32am Ernest: Curious what their I Want You (She's So Heavy) sounds like...
	11:32am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:32am Dano59: Eleanor R. is the 'Mustang Sally' of the record geek set
	11:33am Jason from Houston: I love all of these so much.
	11:33am DJ Guin: Joe McG -- dry cleaners callled...go pick up your white suit and platform shoes
	11:33am Uncle Michael: Hi, Jon!
	11:33am Erin in TO: This disco cover is the best yet - I say this as a lonely person who just wants to get down hah
	11:34am WaffleMix: 👍
	11:34am fred: @Joe: But then would she have become a Party Girl?
	11:34am Joe McG: @Erin: Ha ha ha!
	11:34am Gaylord Fields: @10:48 chresti in tennis booth: Thanks for the kind compliment! (I was doing my actual work and missed this lovely comment.)
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nice Dano59. Thing is - Beatles go so deep - like to their Saturday Cartoon in its original bounce in my toddlerhood deep. I suspect I'm not alone. Coulda been worse !! :D
	11:34am DJ Guin: @Ernest -- by request -- www.youtube.com...
	11:35am Joe McG: @fred: In love with her doctor?
	11:35am Gaylord Fields: Thanks, mariano!
	11:35am egould310: Doodah doodah get down Michelle, my belle.
	11:35am Billy Jam: @Joe McGasko - what up + good job last night. @WFMU Marathon 2021 supporters = thank YOU for your generous contributions toward this wonderful radio station
	11:35am Ernest: @DJ Guin: oh thanks! i guess i could have looked that up myself ;-)
	11:36am Dano59: Didn't Hendrix cover it?
	👻 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): Other thn the bluegrass one, I think all of these are #1 Hits.
	11:37am steveo: this one stole the drum fill from the disco one though
	👻 11:37am rx scabin: This one!

	11:37am ?: Fingers crossed for a cold-wave version!
	11:37am DJ Guin: "I hope someone does this to all my crap demos when I'm dead, making them into hit songs" - George Harrison
	11:37am Dano59: actually @RevR, ER was an entree into serious, dark subject matter for this kid. The silliness of Yellow Submarine aside ...
	11:38am Joe McG: Hey, Billy Jam!
	👻 11:38am YETI BOB: OK, so, somebody stop me if this is too much. Raag, scale, and mode are all related concepts. Your instument can make more different notes than you can use (unless you are Schoenberg) you don't use all 12 notes in an octave on the piano, you choose a smaller set of notes to use. This choice is a "scale". The most basic scales are pentatonic (black keys on keyboard) and diatonic (white keys).
	11:38am Jim the Poet: This Eleanor person sounds like my type
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dano59: That too ! A great sequence in an extraordinary practically unique film.
	👻 11:38am YETI BOB: Modes are a way to get new scales from old. If you play all the white keys from C to C it's a standard major scale. But if you start on A you get minor. Dorian is what you get if you start on D. It's much less common.
	11:39am Andres: This version is good. Oh, this one is better. This one is the best yet. Etc. All gold!
	11:39am Dano59: @YetiB I appreciate it too. I know real rock musicians who know the modes; I never did. I can plot out a simple melody on a scale but that's about it. Most of my 'composing' comes about messing around on a guitar.
	👻 11:39am tim from champaign (now washington): Bill Jam to the rescue!
	11:40am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:40am Strandlund: Joe, didn't you do an entire show of Eleanor Rigby Covers?
	11:40am Joe McG: BTW, I haven't played this many Rigbys since 2014, so it HAS been 7 years since I last did this to you.
	11:40am Asheville Jon: play Emmett Chapman! :)
	👻 11:40am YETI BOB: You can get minor from major by starting on a different note (A instead of C) and keeping all the same pitches. But you can also get a minor scale by keeping the C as the starting note, and changing some of the pitches (flatten the 3, 6, and 7 - use black keys). So "scale" and "mode" are very related
	11:40am Dano59: Eleanor would be a Goth Girl today
	11:40am fred: @Joe: She may be looking for more, but if Ken goes back to Bohemian Rhapsody I'm going to blame you
	11:40am Tim 07030: You can pick up a lot of rice during this guitar solo.
	11:40am Joe McG: @Strandlund: Yup! It's in the archives, sometime in 2014. I forget what I called the show.
	11:40am Joe McG: @Tim: Ha ha ha!
	11:40am Rich in Bay Ridge: Thanks @YetiBob. Been trying to make a bit more sense of this area of theory. Good explanation.
	11:41am fionnland: This one is breaking it up nicely.
	11:41am Jason from Houston: I have listened to that show and made other people listen to it sooooo many times. Thank you, Joe.
	11:41am Asheville Jon: this Dennis Coffee isn't all that bad, because you can barely tell it's eleeanor rugby
	11:41am mariano: When I was in grade school, I was such a Beatles fan that I assumed they played all the instruments on all the songs, so I imagined them sitting together as a string quartet playing and singing "Eleanor Rigby."
	11:41am DJ Guin: Billy Jam + WEED = Best Friday Evenings, ever
	11:41am Strandlund: I love your cover shows!! Summertime was THE BEST!!
	👻 11:41am YETI BOB: Mixolydian - white keys tarting on G - is indispensible for jazz - it's like a major scale with a flat 7. OK enough music theory Dano - keep messing around, that's the most important thing!!
	11:42am Jason from Houston: wfmu.org...
	👻 11:42am YETI BOB: (starting, not tarting)
	11:42am fred: @Joe: In a wild fit of inspiration, you called it "Eleanor Rigby": wfmu.org...
	11:43am Joe McG: Ah, thanks for posting the link. None of these are repeats. I checked.
	11:43am mb: G'morning Joe and Monday people. Great marathon this year. Was not expecting to hit it on time. WFMU #1.
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB: This is Keyboard Brain vs. GittarBrain... You can't put a Capo on a Piano - but it's all there in a line... As a kid I took Sax lessons for a couple years & tried to follow dots. But - I didn't practice. I went home & played Gittar by ear! & that's me in a nutshell really... Have heard that in fact lobes on one side top the brain are reinforced in string players - & in the opposite hemisphere @ same attitude for keyboardists !... What happened for Prince no one knows...
	11:44am Jason from Houston: That is the wild part. I was just thinking, "none of these are on that show!" Hahahaha...
	11:44am Joe McG: May I pause to say that this damn band COOKS?
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Lattitude dammit...
	11:44am Yes: jammer
	👻 11:44am YETI BOB: Joe McG: Hell yeah!
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or attitude in case of this band...
	11:45am DJ Guin: this sounds like someone forgot the chords to Black Magic Woman or some Deep Purple song
	👻 11:45am tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe - you could really drive the peanut gallery to foaming-at-the-mouth territory if you played 3 hours of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah covers.
	11:45am Joe McG: @tim: Ooh, tim, that's very evil. I like how you think!
	👻 11:45am Webhamster Henry: @YETIB & RR11/63 don't get me started on microtonality. A 19-tone Eleanor Rigby might be nice!
	11:45am Dano59: @fred: David Bash posted his top 10 Billy Joel tracks (and he's done Rush and others recently) and that sparked a lot of memories for me. It's a pretty solid catalog and one you can be selective about.
	11:46am Jason from Houston: WHAAAAAAAA
	11:46am Spring has Sprung: @ Yeti Bob: awesome thanks! Bet you are good at math too.
	11:46am Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍• ᴗ •◍꒱:+
	11:46am Billy Jam: there's actually enough hip-hop songs that sample (to varying degrees) "eleanor rigby" by The Beatles that one could do a whole show or long set of them
	11:46am Son Of Pantz: Stop encouraging him @Tim!!!
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we hear the Hallelujah chorus anyhow is the thing ...
	11:47am Brendan: One hell of a bathroom break
	11:47am Mick: checking in late to say: this version is seriously smoking
	11:47am Lewis: did any of you experience Ken's Bohemian Rhapsody show? That was fun...
	11:47am Tank Top: Love this version
	11:47am Joe McG: @Mick: Agree! @TT: Me, too
	11:47am Mick: Also - congrats on the marathon!
	11:47am Spring has Sprung: The 7-Year Rigby Itch

	11:47am Asheville Jon: lewis, i "experienced" that. it was awful!
	👻 11:48am tim from champaign (now washington): @Son of Pantz - It's not positive reinforcement that eggs on Joe, it's the negative reinforcement, ;)

	11:48am Lewis: while a bit sideways on the covers idea, Kenny G's Ron Asheton RIP show is also a classic...
	11:48am Dano59: the only ER cover I have in my library is P.P. Arnold. Now I'm thinking twice about playing it on-air in a couple weeks. oy.
	11:48am Stevel: Dennis Coffey has me dancing in the office, in my basement, but still!
	11:48am morphe': Thanks Joe and all !!!!!!
	11:48am Lewis: @ Asheville Jon - and yet we kept listening...
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lewis (my middle btw spelled that way) - @ the beginning of that I sensed where it was going & said - oh, this won't be easy - but - it will be Epic...
	11:49am DJ Guin: @Joe Mcg -- big ask, but can you spin something off of Transformed Man for William Shatner's 90th Birthday?
	👻 11:49am YETI BOB: @RR: I play bass and a bit of keys, I've taken some lessons on both, I'm equally bad at both, but it's really interesting to me to compare the approaches. My brain is probably a total mess. @Spring - you're welcome! and yes, I majored in math in college but I've always loved music too.
	11:49am Andrew_in_WI: Had to sign in for that one.... it deserves ALL the clicky-stars.
	11:49am Joe McG: @Dano59: Oh, I have that one with me! I'll finish with it for you.
	11:49am Stevel: I can take whatever Joe McG dishes out. I think.
	👻 11:49am tim from champaign (now washington): I thought it was going to bust into Stairway to Rigby for a second.
	11:49am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:49am Asheville Jon: Lewis, i turned it off after about 15 minutes. unbearable
	11:50am Brendan: If there’s a vaccine for this song I’m taking it
	11:50am Joe McG: @Stevel: I think I'll start my Billy Joel special with "The Entertainer."
	11:50am Toutevoix: ))
	11:50am ChukAmok: @JoeMcG I see you’ve come in strong on the Rigby this week. Kudos!
	11:50am Jason from Houston: LOL, tim! This is a good one! That bass is not hiding out...
	11:50am Stevel: Velvet Opera scores with a gnarly bass sound! Joe McG: You can't scare me.
	11:51am WaffleMix: I ascribe to the leave it on, something worse will definitely come on, approach to WFMU
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lewis - RonAsheton is a Major Gittar Hero for me. Is a Link to that handy ??
	👻 11:51am tim from champaign (now washington): I might suggest "The Longest Time", Joe.
	11:51am McGroovey: I vote in favor of the Dennis Coffey Eleanor Rigby. Also, I would endorse the concept of three hours of Leonard Cohen. Or of Flipper, but no one asked for Flipper, except me. But Flipper probably hasn't made enough records to fill three hours, unless you pad it with the Brainwash 7" locked groove.
	11:51am Lewis: Ashevilles Jon - I suppose I am a glutton for that special punishment that our favorite radio station dishes out every now and the...
	11:51am Toutevoix: it knits
	11:51am Asheville Jon: do your worst on the billy joel special Joe, we can handle it!
	11:51am andy the painter: congrats to the Skeleton Crew, and ALL of us, for reaching the Marathon goal. thanks for all your work, Joe!
	11:52am Asheville Jon: Lewis, after the beatless, queen is my most hated band. fortunately fmu has other streams! :)
	11:52am Rich in Bay Ridge: Damn if I don't like every one of these E/R covers...well maybe not so high on the bluegrass one.
	11:52am Hubig Pie: I like my beer cold My TV loud And my radio......... unbearable
	11:52am Spring has Sprung: Joe McG ER 2028... start getting ready NOW
	11:52am Lewis: @RR - here ya go... wfmu.org...
	11:52am Stevel: Joe McG: What's amazing is, as one of the nicest people on the planet (hanging right with Sheila B) you are as cantankerous, radio-wise, as Ken. One of the many wonders of WFMU
	11:52am Joe McG: @Asheville Jon: I know it! You guys can handle anything. That's why we love you!
	11:52am Strandlund: Congratulations on making the marathon goal! It's shows like this that keep the money coming in!!
	11:52am Jason from Houston: This version just keeps giving!
	11:52am Asheville Jon: Joe, please play the longest version of Scenes from an Italian Restaurant you can find!
	👻 11:53am YETI BOB: @Webhamster Henry: Please make a 19TET "Elanor Rigby" so we can all hear what it would sound like!
	👻 11:53am tim from champaign (now washington): Here's a tough one: 3 hours of Rock-a-bye Baby covers.
	11:53am TonyR: There's a funny film called "Party Girl" where the crazed club owner REALLY had a thing against one mixer (a name like "Frankie Knuckles', but not him), and the hapless DJ was seduced into playing one, and got the record broken for his troubles. Where are THOSE GIFs, Internet??
	11:53am Rich in Bay Ridge: Well, Joe, you eased us into what turned into a triumphant first post-Marathon show. Kudos and THANKS!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheers Lewis ! ...BillyJoel is someone I have to be coddled into admitting has any merit whatsoever - the fake EltonJohn far as I'm concerned. People like him cause they look like him - but that's true of everybody...
	11:54am Strandlund: CARAVAN would make a great all cover show, Joe!
	11:54am Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: I am freaking out over this set. Absolutely loving it. Some of the coolest stuff I've heard in a while.
	11:54am Lewis: my favorite week on wfmu is the week after the marathon!
	11:55am Joe McG: @Strandlund: Still considering it!
	11:55am βrian: FYI: Irene Trudel is coming up on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	11:55am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:55am TonyR: @Lewis: afterglow
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks (and congratulations), Joe!
	11:55am Strandlund: YAY!!
	11:55am Lewis: @TonyR - exactly!
	11:55am Jason from Houston: GAH THIS ONE
	👻 11:55am tim from champaign (now washington): Up next: Joe Belock plays 3 hours of Louie Louie.
	11:56am Toutevoix: All the lonely people together unite!
	11:56am Joe McG: Hey thanks for putting up with this today and well, thanks again for supporting WFMU and getting us to our goal this year. Despite what I just did to you, I love you all.
	👻 11:56am YETI BOB: @Strandlund: Hahaha, me and a few friends once recorded a punk-jazz version called "I Don't Caravan"
	11:56am TonyR: Plague has transformed my 'FMUing into a highly structured/scheduled affair. I have all my fave shows' days memorized.
	11:56am McGroovey: These are all fine Eleanor Rigbys.
	11:56am TonyR: "No one was saved." Abt sums it up.
	11:57am βrian: Joe is sporting a Listener Beater today.
	11:57am Erin in TO: I am loving this P.P. Arnold version so much...so sad and a little creepy
	11:57am Santos L Halper: Thanks for that hot Coffey Joe! Looks like there’s 2 sets of stuff from those shows. And congrats on the marathon!
	11:57am Yes: THANK YOU JOE
	11:57am D Rok (in brooklyn): I've been on a call for work, and have been aware of this string of Eleanor Rigby covers happening in the background, but am damn sad I haven't been able to really listen to them.
	11:57am Asheville Jon: Joe, you need to check out Emmett Chapman's version. might be a bit too psychedelic for this show though
	11:57am Michael Shelley: pleasure to just hear some good music this morning!
	11:57am johnk77: 7year rigby itch sounds like a social disease picked up in a rock club in the before times?;>
	11:57am Stevel: The Joe McG show, pioneering the Stockholm Syndrome waves of radio glory.
	11:57am Joe non Papa: I'm sorry I missed the Elvis Costello singles (food shopping). I had this memory ringing in my head since I heard the the Chet Baker you played early in the show. I was at one of those Dr Pepper open air concerts by the Hudson River around 1983 and went to hear EC on his Punch the Clock tour, I think. He took a special break to introduce a guest trumpeter, I recall. I was not familiar with Jazz at the time. Anyone know if that happened to be Chet Baker playing with EC?
	11:57am Rich in Bay Ridge: @TonyR - i only know what day of the week/time of day it is by who is on the air at any given time
	11:57am Asheville Jon: thanks Joe, for the show, and everything you do for WFMU!!!!!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Mainstream 1970s Music is often my weak spot for enlightened tolerance ...Disco is a weird area & whole Sociological topic ...Yerknow - some of us just aren't especially Dancey.
	11:58am Erin in TO: @Joe McG can't speak for anyone else, but all you did to me was give me multiple new, fantastic versions of a song I love
	11:58am Toutevoix: wfmunited
	👻 11:58am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe! You are the best!
	11:58am Brendan: That was fucked up Joe, but I forgive you already
	11:59am Devin B.: Always thought the plural was 'Eleanors Rigby.'
	11:59am johnk77: great work selecter
	11:59am radioronan: Thanks Joe..congrats on marathon success! Thanks to all the skeletons! Cheers!
	11:59am vanessa: I will love any iterations of Eleanor Rigby you can play. Thank you!
	11:59am steveo: i'm still not sure about 1965.. didn' the orig come out in 66?
	12:00pm Andres: No apologies. All gold. Thanks Joe!
	👻 12:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the fun today, Joe. "Going to the E.R." has a new meaning now.
	12:00pm nardo: Thought maybe this was a new stream called 24 Hours ER.
	12:00pm Rich in Bay Ridge: We somehow missed out on the Caetano Veloso Eleanor Rigby-Billie Jean mashup
	12:00pm happymaan: Love this show, thanks!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mary Wing does Three OF a Kind - several versions of one tune all the time. It's in fact a very interesting study of Song Structure... Original ER on 'Revolver', August 1966. TY JB !!
	👻 12:00pm YETI BOB: Devin B: Like "Attorneys General". Correct.
	12:00pm Toutevoix: off out playing rugby, love
	12:01pm mariano: Thanks Joe!!!
	5:10am patti fundament: Getting on here late to remember the Tom Zé. He's always so good, but this particular recording, synth & all, sounded positively Kink-ish to me. His vocal style, even. Anyhow good on ya reaching that goal & achieving multiple DJ personalities!

	👻 9:06am YETI BOB: I find it interesting that Jelena Milcetic felt she had to change her name to Helen Merrill. I wonder if people are more open to non-WASP names now than they were in the 50's or if she would still do the same today.

	9:11am Brendan: @Joe, and in our hearts, you celebrity heartthrob.
	9:11am John in Phoenixville: @ Joe McG These first two tracks are ones I usually listen to after midnight, but I’m enjoying them as a start to Moody Monday. Curiously, I just got new vinyl reissues of these Merrill and Baker albums!

	9:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Motley Krewn...
	9:13am Joe McG: @John: Yes, sometimes I wish I could magically transport myself to the midnight hour to do sets like this. I just thought it would be nice to bring things down after 2 weeks of non-stop uptempo hysteria.

	👻 9:14am YETI BOB: good plan Joe, things did get a bit frantic

	9:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...April in Paris, Julie in London is what I always says...
	9:15am McGroovey: This is perfect music for not yelling over asking for money! For listening like money doesn't matter!
	9:16am B R M: Hartman/ Coltrane version of Lush Life will always be my fav... but these voices! So buttery and mixed so well. swoon
	9:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ok Joe but I just have 10 questions about my pledge ...just kidding...
	9:17am Tim 07030: I've already smoked two packs while staring moodily into the distance during this set. And good morning and congrats to you, Joe!
	9:17am βrian: Uptempo hysteria = A peyote triumphs
	9:17am Joe McG: @Handy: Hopefully not too much math, but certainly still the marathon continues for me for a week or more afterwards. @RR63: Ha ha!
	👻 9:17am Webhamster Henry: This set is probably very useful for people in time zones about 10-12 hours later than EDT.

	9:21am Handy Haversack: Congrats, Threemoons! Also, Kate and the hound walked over into LIC yesterday, and Kate reports that Dominie's Hoek is open again! We'll both be second-vaxxed by mid-April and are starting to talk about what that might mean ... Nice, Marley, please do!
	9:21am word: This set is perfect for this morning.
	9:21am John in Phoenixville: I was going to ask for a little Chris Connor to go with the mood you’re setting so well, but you’ve got it covered. Good song choice too, Joe.
	9:22am McGroovey: This music is very useful for people 0 hours ahead of EDT. Sez I.
	9:22am TonyR: Coral had a reputation for using easily broken materials for their singles.

	👻 9:26am YETI BOB: (Tormé, of course)
	👻 9:26am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm no professional music judger by any means, but I found last night's karaoke performances to be very good. Would not change a thing. 👍

	9:27am TonyR: The Marathon taught me what my bosses knew for years. I really need to be yelled at.
	9:28am The Oscar: Fun fact: "These Foolish Things" was written about the great Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong! (Also congrats!!!)
	9:28am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, JMC! You KILLED last night, as we have come to expect.
	👻 9:28am waters7: your killing me with kindness. xo
	👻 9:28am Threemoons: @Handy just saw this and YAY! IIRC the other part of my Sunday rotation, Judy and Punch, is open also! Summer can't come fast enough....
	9:29am D Rok (in brooklyn): Beautiful set this morning, Joe McG.
	9:29am Joe McG: @Oscar: Really? Wow! @Greg: Aw, thanks, I had a really great time singing with Sheila despite technical snafus.
	9:29am Colleen: Ooohhh Joooee...this is all sooo goood!!!
	9:29am TDK60: Didn't know we'd hear from a president.
	9:29am Son Of Pantz: Creature Boy stars in the new hard-boiled thriller, "The Dame With The Loaded Eyes"
	9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Did not even realize there would be a Hoof&Mouth this year! So you kicked that hard in the gluteus too FMU...
	9:31am Joe McG: @TDK: THE President. Glad everyone's enjoying the mellow. We'll pick it up soon, I'm just easing in.
	9:31am tom in Glasgow: Chill Week is always a really nice post-marathon fixture
	9:32am eºIºk: @TonyR@9:27, you’re not alone. @Yeti Bob@9:06, well, she’s not a singer AFAIK, but Croatian actor Ivana Milicevic hasn’t changed her name and has gotten some good TV roles.
	9:32am The Oscar: Looking into it I guess there's actually some debate-- it's probably either about Wong, Hermoine Gingold (!!), or Jean Ross. Still, I want to believe!
	9:33am Blix: Joe...I made a small pledge Saturday night but I didn't get an email confirmation (which I thought always happened in the past) nor was the pledge acknowledged on air (which is no big deal). Typical wait time thing or worth looking in to? BTW great job last night; I only had audio for your song, and I hope you dressed up like Herb Tarlick.
	9:33am fm Mike: Maaan, I woke up too late for Clay's show!!!! But this sounds nice too, gotta admit.
	9:34am Creature Boy: haha @pantz
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Artie Shaw - Dropping Out before Julian Cope...
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: Blix - I always get the email immediately - it sounds like something may have gone wrong. But let's see what Joe says.
	👻 9:35am Brian in UK: Tom in Glasgow. Did you get any sleep?
	9:36am tom in Glasgow: ha ha approximately 4am-9:55am before my 10am shift... i work weird patterns, though, so this actually my last one of the week and my weekend's tomorrow
	9:38am Creature Boy: Diggin these crazy sides , blood. Man oh mango chutney
	9:39am Don: Good morning everyone. Such a refreshing morning. Glad I found this station.
	9:39am fionnland: Nice set so far! Too Marvelous for Words has popped up for me a couple times this week - love Lee Konitz ripping through it with the Gerry Mulligan/Chet Baker Quartet
	👻 9:41am YETI BOB: Don - welcome! Make sure you check out WFMU at 9AM on Friday.
	9:42am B R M: No, thank YOU ... always appreciate when gratitude is a two-way street!
	👻 9:43am Webhamster Henry: Not only can you still pledge, the SWAG IS STILL AVAILABLE!
	9:44am Don: @Yeti. Plan to.
	9:45am TDK60: You have that huge WFMU library almost to yourself.
	9:45am tom in Glasgow: in reality, a velvet fog would likely be very oppressive
	9:45am Handy Haversack: I finally had a chance to listen to the state of the station show yesterday. Very proud that 11222 was the third-most-common zip code after 11215 and the United Kingdom. If the stupid ferry company would get its crap together, the Greenpoint-Jersey City commute would be such a breeze!
	9:45am Creature Boy: Lester Young ! Thx for reminding me Joe
	9:46am The Oscar: My partner pledged for the first time this year! Last night during the marathon, when Ken and Michele were talking about necrophilia, she turned to me and said, "I am SO HAPPY this station exists!"
	👻 9:46am YETI BOB: Lester Young was probably the coolest cat ever. (He coined the word "cool", according to some)
	9:47am Spring has Sprung: @Yeti Bob, maybe she just got tired of people mispronouncing and misspelling her non-WASP name. Speaking from personal experience ;)
	9:47am Steve from Dunwoody: + Leap in, Yeti Bob!
	9:47am PaulRobeson1920: Yip yip !
	9:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Prez & the Birth of (the) Cool - read all about it : www.amazon.com...
	👻 9:48am YETI BOB: @Spring: It's a cycle, people don't know how to pronounce "odd-looking" names, so they never see them, and they remain odd-looking.
	👻 9:49am Webhamster Henry: I was kind of hoping for a live rendition of the Party Girls song from Jim Price, but it was a great show!
	9:49am Joe McG: Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention how a couple of those songs mentioned spring - the breeze of March and so on. Here we are and happy spring!
	9:49am Handy Haversack: May it be a much happier spring than the last one -- for all of us.
	👻 9:51am YETI BOB: @Joe - thanks for not playing "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most"
	👻 9:51am YETI BOB: (I like that song but it's a bummer)
	9:51am Joe McG: @YETI: Yeah, I wasn't feeling that one today, much as I like it.
	9:53am headcleaner: a joy and a blessing it is to have you and the rest of WFMU with us for another year, Joe
	9:53am ?: Is this song dedicated to those $GME apes?
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Happy Schpring ! & Joyeux Solar Returns to all the ⦿Suns in ♈︎Aries ! : www.facebook.com...
	9:55am Dayffid: Loving this set so far
	9:58am Jeffrey D: What a great start to the week...thanks as ever Joe
	9:59am PaulRobeson1920: 91.1FM sounding clear! Good morning from a 14ft lorry on the corner of 11th av & 42nd st! Hoooray for WFMU!!!! What a beautiful day! My baby loves the spring time!
	9:59am TonyR: I think JMcG revealed his full surname on one of the marathon shows. I, too, have a surname too laden with consonants.
	9:59am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, JD!
	10:00am bukowski.: ♡♡♡♡♡
	10:02am Hubig Pie: Sabah al-khair
	10:02am Don: Meeting time. Ugh
	10:02am TDK60: Love that string instrument - a tanbur or setar possibly. Liraz's voice too.
	10:03am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe, you are casting a magical spell this morning! Listening with my THREE kids- newly minted mini-glistener is two weeks old already! <3 manages to sneak you some bird-seed during marathon :) Much love for all you do!!!
	10:03am Blix: @JoeMcG...may have missed a question I posed above about a pledge I made Saturday night that never seemed to get confirmed. I have to leave now, but if you leave a message here about what I should do (email someone or just leave it and wait) I'll come back here later and heed your advice.
	10:03am Handy Haversack: Good to see you, Rachel! Hope all is well! TDK60, definitely. I keep meaning to pick up this album.
	10:04am Joe McG: @RBR: Wow, congrats on your new addition! @Blix: If you wouldn't mind e-mailing me at jmcgasko@wfmu.org, I can take care of you after the show.
	10:04am tom in Glasgow: Blix, you might be best off emailing jmcgasko@wfmu.org to make sure it isn't missed
	10:05am TDK60: Hello, Handy. Rachel, congrats on the arrival of your babe.
	10:05am Blix: Got it! Thanks! Great show thus far as always.
	10:05am tom in Glasgow: congrats Rachel!
	10:06am TonyR: The pledge confirmation bots responded to me like clockwork and almost immediately. All hiccups were local, and a result of my running a script-blocker.
	10:07am Stevel: Good morning, and happy post successful marathon buzz to all!
	10:08am eric from lake hiawatha: Thanks for the AG!
	10:08am Rachel Bo Bachel: Thank you Tom in Glasgow! Tell Belle and Sebastian I say hi! Handy I miss you and all the accu-buddies!! Sooo buried these days lol! Hope you and Kate are well!!!
	10:08am Toutevoix: ((((((◍ ◍))))))
	10:09am Rachel Bo Bachel: TDK60 and Joe- thank you!! He is a little fuss-budget but I love him a lot already ❤️❤️❤️
	10:10am Spring has Sprung: @TonyR, my surname has 6 consonants and 2 vowels. One consonant pair occurs twice, so when I have to spell my name and get to the second pair, people think I'm starting over at the beginning. Oy
	10:11am Handy Haversack: Hanging in, Rachel! We're both a couple weeks out from second shot and desperate for spring. Hey, Stevel!
	10:13am fred: Good morning Joe and listeners. It's been a while since the station reached the goal during the marathon. A pleasant surprise
	👻 10:13am Will the Sound Guy: I picked up yol before the marathon, I can't wait to drop the needle on it
	10:14am Joe McG: @Will: Pretty great, they add some really new wave/dancey flavors into the mix.
	10:14am Handy Haversack: This set is fantastic, Joe. A perfect pivot from the first set. Wow, it's nice to be here and listening.
	10:18am Joe McG: @Handy: Glad to be here and glad you're enjoying.
	10:18am Son Of Pantz: I'm a SFL member and I still feel like I'm committing Grand Larceny. Compared to what I get from WFMU, I'd pay 10X it if I could afford to.
	10:19am fred: Does Matt Warwick know about Beautify Junkyards?
	👻 10:19am Will the Sound Guy: I agree with Handy, you're on point Joe
	10:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Flawless Playlist
	10:20am Dano59: This Jane Weaver's good stuff. You have learned much of the art of the segue, young Jedi
	10:21am chresti in tennis booth: Good morning from Griffith Park!
	10:21am Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍• ᴗ •◍꒱:+
	10:22am Dano59: also liked the Tom Zé. Amazing that this set is all. new stuff.
	10:23am Stashu: We made the goal! Thank you everyone! I’m still coming down from all the excitement. Hi Joe!
	10:24am Ernest: need to check out that Weaver record, sounds awesome. Thanks!
	10:24am Son Of Pantz: Dance with me, Stashu!
	10:25am Dano59: @The Oscar: your partner should check out Katie Halper on the Useful Idiots podcast. Their opening segments often comment on necrophilia as not such a bad thing, ethically (that's about as far as it goes , to be fair)
	10:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stashu you were an absolute Muppet in the greatest & highest sense.
	10:26am Dano59: wow ... nice! Perfect morning music. SE of Saturn compiles older releases?
	10:26am Rev. Turnip Druid: peeple.
	10:26am Joe McG: STASHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
	10:26am chresti in tennis booth: Another round of applause for Stashu and Joe! You guys were fabulous last night!
	👻 10:26am Will the Sound Guy: We made broke through the goal, it was exciting. Maybe you guys can fix that infamous toilet tank lid!
	10:26am Dano59: I was going to order Palladium so I think this is going on the list.
	10:27am Gaylord Fields: Hi, Joe! Hi, Stashu! I need to be here this morning, and not just for the usual reasons. Still have much WFMU love in reserve.
	10:27am Handy Haversack: What chresti said! You were fantabulistically wonderatious, Stashu!!!
	👻 10:27am rx scabin: Trying to work, but listening and now commenting instead. According to Clay, it is National Goof-off Day, so . . . .
	10:27am JR HTX: So nice to hear these selections ....after two weeks
	10:29am Dano59: I was importing covers and Rolling Stones stuff for my radio project; I had to stop and listen more intently. Jeez ... but thanks, Joe. Music is a salve, a balm ... and the bomb.
	10:29am Joe McG: Hey Gaylord!
	10:30am Dennis Diken: alright Joe! hey all! thanks to everyone!!
	10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Without WFMU life would be a mistake. - Fred Nietzsche
	👻 10:32am YETI BOB: "National Goof-Off Day" is providing me with an excellent excuse today. But I'm goofing off by cleaning the apartment instead of doing my "real job".
	10:32am Paulo AD: Thats me done for the day guys, have a great day ahead :)
	10:32am Gaylord Fields: Joe, I usually wake up at 11 on Mondays, but not this morning. I needed to bask in your aural sunlight as early as possible.
	10:35am Nuno: B. Junkyards are a PORTUGUESE band!
	10:36am Nuno: (and as for Tom Zé), it is Contos de FRALDAS ("diapers tales")
	10:36am Handy Haversack: Melenas from Pamplona, Spain.
	10:37am Handy Haversack: Gaylord, your selection and performance last night were absolutely perfect! Death! An absolute favorite for me and K8. We were shouting with joy -- thanks so much, Gaylord!
	10:38am headcleaner: obrigado pelo esclarecimento, Nuno
	10:38am TonyR: McGasko's a good cop!!
	10:39am Nuno: Um prazer. Great set.
	10:39am Matt Fiveash: Livin' on the air in Jersey City!
	10:39am Ernest: good choice.
	👻 10:39am YETI BOB: 50,000,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong!
	10:39am Spring has Sprung: Joe n Stashu were so cute during the Marathon. Yes I did pledge.
	10:39am Andrew: Elvis is KING!!!
	10:40am Uncle Michael: Love his voice. LOVE his songwriting. Really dig his covers. I might have more EC 45s than any other artist.
	10:40am Glorious Estephonic: ELVIS COSTELLO ! YESSSSS ! covers love his covers ! !!! so happy about this.
	10:40am The Oscar: Fingers crossed for "Psycho!"
	10:41am TonyR: Costello == a fine choice for this morning. Forget the h8rz.
	10:41am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe! Happy post-Marathon Monday :)
	10:41am Handy Haversack: I'd get on line for this Single File!
	10:41am Dano59: I heard the original of another Get Happy!! track the other day on Rock'n'Soul and ... I had no idea! I stand accused ...
	10:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Attractions - wotta band !!
	👻 10:42am Will the Sound Guy: Single file let's Go Joe McG! Bringing that Costello heat this morning.
	10:42am Son Of Pantz: Elvis Costello revived Chet Baker's career in the early 80's. It seems fitting you would play both today.
	10:42am jinjabredboy: wow @The Oscar - I was typing the exact same words!!!
	10:43am Jim the Poet: Elvis me
	10:43am Dano59: Taking Liberties and Out of Our Idiot are full of this stuff; and I have about 40 EC singles for others. So I have no excuse!
	10:43am Lixiviated Life: I'm afraid I'm gonna have to clicky-star every one of these. (let's see now...)
	10:43am headcleaner: the good vibes just pouring out of you today, Joe. Exactly what I need, post-marathan (and on the anniversary day of the lockdown in NYC, by my calculations)
	10:43am Spinning Giant: Morning all - looks like I picked a great time to drop in :D
	👻 10:43am YETI BOB: Honestly this has never really been 'my kind of music' (whatever that means) but I recognize his enormous talent & he's had a great career and I'm happy to listen to this segment today while I do some spring cleaning.
	10:44am Steve from Dunwoody: Work can wait when Elvis sings soul 45s
	10:45am Dano59: @headcleaner: I'm going by March 13, the first day we were told to work from home. I let the anniversary pass without comment. It's not as important, as, say, Nick Lowe's birthday (3/24)
	10:45am Steve from Dunwoody: Oh Yeti -- This is my wheelhouse. Let me show you my herky jerky dance!
	10:45am Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Handy (and K8)! I hope it was as cathartic for everyone as it was for me.
	👻 10:45am tadpoles: Excellent Joe. Elvis in Central Park a couple of years ago...brilliant! Bring 'em back! Cheers.
	10:46am Andres: Good morning, Joe and all! I thought the only argument regarding EC was EC with or without The Attractions.
	10:46am Dano59: the Trust tour in '09 was fantastic, as was Imperial Bedroom (and Other Chambers) in '17.
	👻 10:47am YETI BOB: (pops a couple of Ibuprofen and puts his dancin' shoes on)
	10:47am Dano59: The Damned ... an outlier. This was given away at a London show.
	10:48am The Oscar: WHOA-- never heard this one!
	10:48am chresti in tennis booth: And, before I actually start working, big ups to Gaylord for his astounding performance last night!
	10:48am Stevel: Brand new cover to me. Very cool!
	10:48am Dano59: one of the rarer EC singles
	10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only critique of ♍︎Virgo ElvisC might be sometimes you can hear him writing : a self-consciousness born of his acute intelligence. But if a critique is that some Pop is too Smart I'll deal with it! Nothing in light of his assets... Criticizing his voice just seems petty to me personally. A distinctive voice wielded effectively is what FunkPop-a-Rolla is all about... & maybe what he is reportedly like to be in a band with - but that's really none uh muh beeswax anyhow...
	10:49am bk845: This makes me wonder if the Damned's version is the original or a cover?
	10:50am The Oscar: YES.
	10:50am jinjabredboy: Yes
	10:51am Dano59: @RevRabbit: I've seen the same critique of Graham Parker. At least Elvis' songs are easier to cover 'cos GP's are very much of his brain.
	10:51am Lewis: oyyyy - this song is creepy no matter what, Elvis adds that little extra...
	10:51am mariano: Jesus, I turned on the show and thought for a second EC had died! 'Morning, Joe, Crew, folks. That's one way to jump-start one's heart ;)
	10:51am Tim 07030: My favorite version of "Psycho'
	10:51am headcleaner: @Dano59 - yeah it was all a bit of a blur. That date, March 13, was the last, or the next-to-last night the bars and such were open in NYC. In any case it was when Ken hit the Gong at the end of the Marathon finale on the 15th -- leading right into "Nowhere Places" -- that's when the lockdown, and the Great Year of Nothingness really started for me
	10:52am Handy Haversack: @Gaylord: very much! Much cathecting and catharting all through the Marathon, and last night was a glorious release of joy! Morning, Mariano!
	10:52am Dano59: my ex-wife wasn't a fan of Elvis' voice. that explains that. (he did do a lot of screaming on his records.)
	10:53am -Ken: Morning everybody. This version of Psycho brings back great memories
	10:53am headcleaner: I am sometimes a fan of Elvis's voice. This song is one of those times
	10:53am Bobnoss Dugnutt: The Jack Kittel version of this is probably my most played song of the last 6 months for some reason
	10:53am Spring has Sprung: Never heard this one before. I don't get it. Is he trying to redo a joke song as a genuine murder ballad?
	10:53am MD: CONGRATS TO WFMU FOR REACHING THE GOAL!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!! GREAT MARATHON!!!!
	10:53am The Oscar: "Psycho" is one of my favorite songs ever. I love that it gets to the natural murder ballad endpoint by the end of the first verse, and then just KEEPS GOING.
	10:53am Dano59: Rufus Wainwright did 'Psycho' too
	10:53am McGroovey: I live Psycho. Not sure if I've ever heard EC's version. It's good.
	10:54am McGroovey: *love (Not live)
	👻 10:54am tadpoles: Elvis' autobiography is an excellent read.
	10:54am Jim the Poet: My mama did think I was psycho
	10:54am Dano59: indeed ... Henry and Howard Coward
	10:54am mariano: Hey, Handy! And yeah, what a show, Gaylord!
	10:54am Lewis: @tadpoles - thanks for the recommendation!
	10:55am -Ken: @Oscar, I agree. By the end of "Psycho," the murderer has gotten even crazier, and doesn't even realize that he killed his Ma
	10:55am Dano59: much love for all the EC love, Joe.
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dano59: GrahamParsons ...& I love JoeJackson too while were @ it...
	10:55am Dano59: I could see him played by Vincent Gallo
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GrahamPARKER. ...Good Morning...
	10:57am KWilde: Great Richard Thompson song
	10:57am Dano59: @RevRabbit: Gram Parsons maybe too. But I thought of Joe as well.
	10:57am nathan: richard & linda cover??? where are you digging this stuff up
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: #PsychobillyForever
	👻 10:57am YETI BOB: @Steve from Dunwoody: I was trying to do the herky-jerky dance but the beat withered and died
	10:58am headcleaner: Ken's rap last night was even crazier than Psycho, I say
	10:58am Dano59: EC dueted with Tony Bennett on a Gershwin tribute; has sung Weill, worked with a classical quartet. No one more diverse or masterful. Until he met the Brodskys he couldn't even read music!
	10:59am Tim 07030: If you like EC doing covers, I highly recommend locating the 2-CD reissue of 'Kojak Variety' (unless you already have it!). The bonus CD is much better than the album if you ask me.
	10:59am Dano59: yeah it is @Tim
	10:59am johnk77: regarding the attractions pete thomas is 1 of the great live drummers also a very cool guy off-stage approachable, fun, nice to support acts and a big fan of african music
	11:00am Dano59: still looking for the hearts-label red vinyl 45 of this one
	11:00am headcleaner: non-reaading + otherwise "illiterate" musicians are among my favorite kind
	11:00am Handy Haversack: Great Single File, Joe! The hound and I are getting ready to head out, but it's hard to tear ourselves away from this! (I assume Bagpipe will let me speak for him in this matter.)
	👻 11:00am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and everybody. Congratulations on the Marathon success, Joe! I'm surprised you're still standing. :)
	11:01am Yooper_Listener_1970N: There we go - was waiting.
	11:01am Krys O.: Costello did a nice cover of A Good Year for the Roses.
	11:01am Dano59: "Nick Lowe and His Sound" - he pulled the same gag on a Jenny Lewis single
	11:01am thatpatsmith: makes the morning
	11:02am Dano59: Oh, @Kris -!! (swooon)
	👻 11:02am tim from champaign (now washington): @headcleaner - Did you ever hear this one? The music critic Dave Marsh responded to hearing that Ted Nugent said Marsh is his favorite music writer with "I wonder what he'll think when he learns how to read."
	11:02am Dano59: @Krys - sorry, autocorrect. OK, great set. Back to work work work...
	11:03am Pedro in Arlington: Costello hasn't gotten the "thanks for living long enough, you're now a legend" treatment like Santana and others. Maybe because he's worked in a variety of genres.
	11:04am Dano59: and the Hall, or the Grammy folk, don't know if he's pop or rock'n'roll enough. Bastids.
	11:04am Marko: On April, the Montclair (NJ) Literary Festival features Richard Thompson discussing his autobiography. The interviewer? Elvis Costello.
	11:05am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe! Later on, all!
	11:05am Marko: April 6!
	👻 11:05am nortonjutland: great single file; and back to good old regular Joe. thanks Joe!
	11:05am Dano59: I wonder if Joe plays this same music bed off vinyl every time.
	11:06am headcleaner: @tim - that's a good quote, + new to me
	11:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pedro a little like Joni if I could (or should) make such a comparison...
	👻 11:08am tim from champaign (now washington): @headcleaner - Musician's with an IQ of a chimp are generally my favorites too.
	11:09am Pedro in Arlington: Costello is a fun TV host. His Spectacle TV show is now on YouTube. And he was grand filling in for Letterman when Dave had heart surgery. I guess the guy needs money because his reissues should have stopped with the Rhino sets. But he's never sold much so I don't begrudge.
	11:10am Stevel: Great water drinking. Very pleasurable.
	11:11am Mike Sin: Great single file -- when I was younger, I always thought EC should have released his cover of "I Stand Accused" as a single!
	11:12am Son Of Pantz: Judd Nelson??? Where's that guy been hiding?
	👻 11:13am Ken From Hyde Park: Elvis Costello had a cancer issue a couple of years ago. I trust he is recovering and he is past it now.
	👻 11:14am tim from champaign (now washington): Do it to us! I love Joe's groaners!
	11:14am Kevlicki: “Hard earned” I’m keeping my earnings and trying to distribute my stimulus $ to places that can put it to good use!
	11:15am Barno: I saw a the premier of Electric Jesus at the virtual Toronto Film Fest. It was cute, especially for someone, like me, who was interested in Christian hair metal in the 80's :)
	11:17am Andres: For my part, I enjoy the lots of talking-on-air part and it always takes me awhile to adjust to the lack of it post-marathon.
	11:18am fred: Eleanor Rigby again? Is that a version you didn't play earlier? Will you be catching up for the rest of the show?
	👻 11:18am tim from champaign (now washington): @Barno - In 1987 I bought a tape of TSOL's Revenge. I was so excited. Then when I got home I discovered that Stryper had been duped on it. I was so crushed.
	11:18am Dano59: hmmm I don't see any April 6 event with RT and EC, but there is an April 8 virtual event with RT an Wesley (JWH) Stace. tix include RT's book, signed. and he lives in Montclair? damn.
	11:18am Tim 07030: Is this turning into southern rock?
	11:19am egould310: That’s annoying as fuck.
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HowardGoodall woke me to the unobserved in plain sight that EleanorRigby is Modal like ancient UK stuff... Not a lot of Pop up to then like that @ all...
	11:19am Joe McG: @fred: Time will tell, Fred!
	11:19am Kotzwinkled: This Eleanor Rigby Morse Code beeping is tripping my dog out.
	👻 11:20am tim from champaign (now washington): This version is "o-tay" in my book.
	11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ScarboroughFair for instance another Modal Folk style one...
	👻 11:20am YETI BOB: @RR63: Dorian, to be specific. If you've never seen Alan W. Pollock's Beatles notes, you might enjoy them - www.icce.rug.nl...
	11:21am steveo: this r eminds me of a dream i had once
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Righteous YetiB !
	11:21am Dano59: @Rev how about the Left Banke? baroque pop, maybe not modal (count me among the musically semi-illiterate)
	11:22am Tim 07030: Eleanor Rigby / Qu'est-ce que
	11:22am Asheville Jon: we pledge to wfmu to then be aurally assaulted by this? sigh.
	11:22am John in Phoenixville: Will you be playing Morgana King’s version of “Eleanor Rigby”?? She knows how it feels to be lonely.
	👻 11:22am YETI BOB: @RR63: Also Dorian - "Purple Haze"
	11:22am Jim the Poet: Did Shatner do Eleanor Rigby
	11:22am Brendan: I thought you had reformed, but still, the sadistic behavior continues.This is a most heinous crime.
	11:23am Dano59: in the last 2-3 weeks I've been down a Billy Joel rabbithole, an R.E.M. rabbithole, and now fixing a Beatles rabbithole where the rain gets in ...
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dano59: Well - I wonder if it's like saying there was No Poetry in Rawk Before Dylan. True & Not True... LeftBanke are PostFabs for sure...
	11:23am LouV: been really into that third wave eleanor rigby cover that you played on Scott's show last week - so good!
	11:23am Spardocus: This cover should be outlawed. I'd rather hear aerosmith than this!
	👻 11:23am YETI BOB: "Modal" is a tricky word. "Modal jazz" uses mode-changes in place of (or alongside) chord changes. These folk tunes stay in one mode, which is Dorian
	11:24am Asheville Jon: i'd rather hear Joe play 3 hours of billy joel!
	11:24am Dano59: @Rev - the influence went both ways with Dylan and the Fabs
	11:24am Spring has Sprung: @RR1163; oh interesting. I was actually wondering about that hearing that great Y-L Unlimited version (thank you Joe). Learned a tiny bit of modes music theory years ago, it's fascinating
	11:24am Son Of Pantz: Be careful what you wish for @Asheville Jon.
	11:24am Yes: jams
	11:25am fred: OK then, so you have a drunk guy version? Because that was my favorite in Ken's Bohemian Rhapsody show (I guess he stole the idea from you, but made it worse, as is his wont)
	11:25am WaffleMix: It just won't end
	👻 11:25am YETI BOB: But all traditional music is in one mode or another! Major key is Ionian, and minor is Aeolian. Dorian is sort of a different, less common version of a minor key (minor 3 while retaining the major 6 and 7).
	11:25am Asheville Jon: i could handle it! :)
	11:25am Dano59: I guess I haven't been on enough Monday mornings to realize this song is Joe's Felder-like Achilles' heel.
	11:26am Asheville Jon: oh noooooooo more beatless covers. ugh, switching to the drummer stream
	11:26am steveo: 1965?
	11:26am Uncle Michael: Eleanor Rigby picked up her eyes in a church where a wedding had been.
	11:26am Dano59: I think Troubadors of British Folk on Rhino opened me up to the Child Ballads and stuff via Fairport and others. that's usually what it takes for a post-folk revival boomer. Elton John might also have dabbled.
	11:26am Matt Fiveash: Look at him working, putting his socks on his hands and his gloves on his feet
	11:27am DJ Guin: this is what Hell sounds like for Lennon and Harrison
	11:27am Joe McG: That 3 hour Billy Joel special is a great idea!
	11:27am mariano: Wait, why all these "Eleanor Rigby" covers? Don't tell me she died too!
	11:27am Spardocus: 2 or so years ago I caught a set on FMU comprised entirely of covers of Toto's 'Africa' It was wild. Thought I was in the midst of a fever dream, but nope. Simply FMU doing FMU things.
	11:27am Rich in Bay Ridge: Those darn socks!
	11:27am Asheville Jon: go for it joe!
	11:27am Dano59: Good lord, just play 'Father McKenzie' by "Eleanore Rigby" and be done with it!
	11:28am Dano59: ... and yet no one has dared mash this up with 'Elenore'. ... the mind reels
	11:28am Asheville Jon: hey Joe, how about playing the Emmett Chapman cover of eleanor rigby?
	11:28am Matt Fiveash: Scottie McKenzie, going to Frisco with flowers all over his hair, nobody cares
	11:28am Erin in TO: I am loving this covers set
	11:28am Lewis: this hurts very badly...
	👻 11:28am rx scabin: No Billy Joel please ever. For some reason, just hearing his name makes me red-faced angry. I do not know why.
	11:28am Son Of Pantz: You wouldn't, Joe. Say it ain't so.
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB - Thx ! ...In my ignorance - I basically think of Modal in terms of being - on a few notes in a scale around a tonal center / drone - like Indian music. Just listened to a McCartney interview in which he says he & John called breaks a 'middle eight' - however many bars it actually was - cause they heard real musicians talk & had no idea ! ...for instance...
	11:28am Yes: :::slaps leg. buckles up::
	11:28am Tim 07030: Foggy Mountain Rigby!
	11:28am Uncle Michael: My computer allows me to change my listening choice without making an announcement about it. Others need to look into that upgrade.
	11:28am Lewis: what @Dano59 said...
	11:28am thatpatsmith: Aretha's Eleanor cover is also great
	11:28am Dano59: @Matt F: ho ho ho...
	👻 11:29am tim from champaign (now washington): Eleanor Rigby smokin' grass!
	11:29am Kotzwinkled: At the risk of crossing streams, Chances with Wolves did a two hour show of "Rigby" covers, if you dare: www.chanceswithwolves.com...
	👻 11:29am YETI BOB: @RR: I wasn't trying to correct you - just wanted to add a bit of detail. You weren't wrong.
	11:29am Asheville Jon: Emmett Chapman's version: www.youtube.com...
	11:29am DJ Guin: Elenore was a pastiche of Happy Together when the record execs asked for another hit song like Happy Together
	11:30am steveo: the devil went down to his socks in the night when there's nobody there
	11:30am Spring has Sprung: Who was the fmu dj who used to always rag on him calling him Billy Jo-EL?
	11:30am ?: Fingers crossed for a disco version!
	11:30am Yes: GO JOE GO
	11:30am DJ Guin: no one ruins a song like the Queen of Soulless
	11:30am fred: A Billy Joel special right after the marathon... If not then, then when?
	👻 11:30am tim from champaign (now washington): For all you groaners, jusrt be glad Joe isn't doing back to back 'When I'm 64' covers.
	11:30am Uncle Michael: wow..prescient!
	11:31am Asheville Jon: UM!!!!
	11:31am Rich in Bay Ridge: This Disco one is pretty good
	11:31am Son Of Pantz: "Get down Eleanor"?
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB: Thx - Sincerely. I want to be Schooled re Musics.
	11:31am DJ Guin: Disco Rigby and All Your Favorites on K-Tel's Super Sounds of the Seventies
	11:32am Joe McG: Maybe if Eleanor had got down, she wouldn't have been so lonesome.
	11:32am Brendan: My god this is horrible
	11:32am Ernest: Curious what their I Want You (She's So Heavy) sounds like...
	11:32am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:32am Dano59: Eleanor R. is the 'Mustang Sally' of the record geek set
	11:33am Jason from Houston: I love all of these so much.

	11:33am Uncle Michael: Hi, Jon!
	11:33am Erin in TO: This disco cover is the best yet - I say this as a lonely person who just wants to get down hah
	11:34am WaffleMix: 👍
	11:34am fred: @Joe: But then would she have become a Party Girl?
	11:34am Joe McG: @Erin: Ha ha ha!
	11:34am Gaylord Fields: @10:48 chresti in tennis booth: Thanks for the kind compliment! (I was doing my actual work and missed this lovely comment.)
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nice Dano59. Thing is - Beatles go so deep - like to their Saturday Cartoon in its original bounce in my toddlerhood deep. I suspect I'm not alone. Coulda been worse !! :D
	11:34am DJ Guin: @Ernest -- by request -- www.youtube.com...
	11:35am Joe McG: @fred: In love with her doctor?
	11:35am Gaylord Fields: Thanks, mariano!

	11:35am Billy Jam: @Joe McGasko - what up + good job last night. @WFMU Marathon 2021 supporters = thank YOU for your generous contributions toward this wonderful radio station
	11:35am Ernest: @DJ Guin: oh thanks! i guess i could have looked that up myself ;-)
	11:36am Dano59: Didn't Hendrix cover it?
	👻 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): Other thn the bluegrass one, I think all of these are #1 Hits.
	11:37am steveo: this one stole the drum fill from the disco one though
	👻 11:37am rx scabin: This one!
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ♏︎Scorpio Brutha Coffey.
	11:37am ?: Fingers crossed for a cold-wave version!
	11:37am DJ Guin: "I hope someone does this to all my crap demos when I'm dead, making them into hit songs" - George Harrison
	11:37am Dano59: actually @RevR, ER was an entree into serious, dark subject matter for this kid. The silliness of Yellow Submarine aside ...
	11:38am Joe McG: Hey, Billy Jam!
	👻 11:38am YETI BOB: OK, so, somebody stop me if this is too much. Raag, scale, and mode are all related concepts. Your instument can make more different notes than you can use (unless you are Schoenberg) you don't use all 12 notes in an octave on the piano, you choose a smaller set of notes to use. This choice is a "scale". The most basic scales are pentatonic (black keys on keyboard) and diatonic (white keys).
	11:38am Jim the Poet: This Eleanor person sounds like my type
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dano59: That too ! A great sequence in an extraordinary practically unique film.
	👻 11:38am YETI BOB: Modes are a way to get new scales from old. If you play all the white keys from C to C it's a standard major scale. But if you start on A you get minor. Dorian is what you get if you start on D. It's much less common.
	11:39am Andres: This version is good. Oh, this one is better. This one is the best yet. Etc. All gold!
	11:39am Dano59: @YetiB I appreciate it too. I know real rock musicians who know the modes; I never did. I can plot out a simple melody on a scale but that's about it. Most of my 'composing' comes about messing around on a guitar.
	👻 11:39am tim from champaign (now washington): Bill Jam to the rescue!
	11:40am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:40am Strandlund: Joe, didn't you do an entire show of Eleanor Rigby Covers?
	11:40am Joe McG: BTW, I haven't played this many Rigbys since 2014, so it HAS been 7 years since I last did this to you.
	11:40am Asheville Jon: play Emmett Chapman! :)
	👻 11:40am YETI BOB: You can get minor from major by starting on a different note (A instead of C) and keeping all the same pitches. But you can also get a minor scale by keeping the C as the starting note, and changing some of the pitches (flatten the 3, 6, and 7 - use black keys). So "scale" and "mode" are very related
	11:40am Dano59: Eleanor would be a Goth Girl today
	11:40am fred: @Joe: She may be looking for more, but if Ken goes back to Bohemian Rhapsody I'm going to blame you
	11:40am Tim 07030: You can pick up a lot of rice during this guitar solo.
	11:40am Joe McG: @Strandlund: Yup! It's in the archives, sometime in 2014. I forget what I called the show.
	11:40am Joe McG: @Tim: Ha ha ha!
	11:40am Rich in Bay Ridge: Thanks @YetiBob. Been trying to make a bit more sense of this area of theory. Good explanation.
	11:41am fionnland: This one is breaking it up nicely.
	11:41am Jason from Houston: I have listened to that show and made other people listen to it sooooo many times. Thank you, Joe.
	11:41am Asheville Jon: this Dennis Coffee isn't all that bad, because you can barely tell it's eleeanor rugby
	11:41am mariano: When I was in grade school, I was such a Beatles fan that I assumed they played all the instruments on all the songs, so I imagined them sitting together as a string quartet playing and singing "Eleanor Rigby."
	11:41am DJ Guin: Billy Jam + WEED = Best Friday Evenings, ever
	11:41am Strandlund: I love your cover shows!! Summertime was THE BEST!!
	👻 11:41am YETI BOB: Mixolydian - white keys tarting on G - is indispensible for jazz - it's like a major scale with a flat 7. OK enough music theory Dano - keep messing around, that's the most important thing!!
	11:42am Jason from Houston: wfmu.org...
	👻 11:42am YETI BOB: (starting, not tarting)
	11:42am fred: @Joe: In a wild fit of inspiration, you called it "Eleanor Rigby": wfmu.org...
	11:43am Joe McG: Ah, thanks for posting the link. None of these are repeats. I checked.
	11:43am mb: G'morning Joe and Monday people. Great marathon this year. Was not expecting to hit it on time. WFMU #1.
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB: This is Keyboard Brain vs. GittarBrain... You can't put a Capo on a Piano - but it's all there in a line... As a kid I took Sax lessons for a couple years & tried to follow dots. But - I didn't practice. I went home & played Gittar by ear! & that's me in a nutshell really... Have heard that in fact lobes on one side top the brain are reinforced in string players - & in the opposite hemisphere @ same attitude for keyboardists !... What happened for Prince no one knows...
	11:44am Jason from Houston: That is the wild part. I was just thinking, "none of these are on that show!" Hahahaha...
	11:44am Joe McG: May I pause to say that this damn band COOKS?
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Lattitude dammit...
	11:44am Yes: jammer
	👻 11:44am YETI BOB: Joe McG: Hell yeah!
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or attitude in case of this band...
	11:45am DJ Guin: this sounds like someone forgot the chords to Black Magic Woman or some Deep Purple song
	👻 11:45am tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe - you could really drive the peanut gallery to foaming-at-the-mouth territory if you played 3 hours of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah covers.
	11:45am Joe McG: @tim: Ooh, tim, that's very evil. I like how you think!
	👻 11:45am Webhamster Henry: @YETIB & RR11/63 don't get me started on microtonality. A 19-tone Eleanor Rigby might be nice!
	11:45am Dano59: @fred: David Bash posted his top 10 Billy Joel tracks (and he's done Rush and others recently) and that sparked a lot of memories for me. It's a pretty solid catalog and one you can be selective about.
	11:46am Jason from Houston: WHAAAAAAAA
	11:46am Spring has Sprung: @ Yeti Bob: awesome thanks! Bet you are good at math too.
	11:46am Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍• ᴗ •◍꒱:+
	11:46am Billy Jam: there's actually enough hip-hop songs that sample (to varying degrees) "eleanor rigby" by The Beatles that one could do a whole show or long set of them
	11:46am Son Of Pantz: Stop encouraging him @Tim!!!
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we hear the Hallelujah chorus anyhow is the thing ...
	11:47am Brendan: One hell of a bathroom break
	11:47am Mick: checking in late to say: this version is seriously smoking
	11:47am Lewis: did any of you experience Ken's Bohemian Rhapsody show? That was fun...
	11:47am Tank Top: Love this version
	11:47am Joe McG: @Mick: Agree! @TT: Me, too
	11:47am Mick: Also - congrats on the marathon!
	11:47am Spring has Sprung: The 7-Year Rigby Itch
	11:47am Andres: Billy Jam: Looking forward to hearing you do that show! For real!
	11:47am Asheville Jon: lewis, i "experienced" that. it was awful!
	👻 11:48am tim from champaign (now washington): @Son of Pantz - It's not positive reinforcement that eggs on Joe, it's the negative reinforcement, ;)
	11:48am paul: One entire night at Morey's
	11:48am Lewis: while a bit sideways on the covers idea, Kenny G's Ron Asheton RIP show is also a classic...
	11:48am Dano59: the only ER cover I have in my library is P.P. Arnold. Now I'm thinking twice about playing it on-air in a couple weeks. oy.
	11:48am Stevel: Dennis Coffey has me dancing in the office, in my basement, but still!
	11:48am morphe': Thanks Joe and all !!!!!!
	11:48am Lewis: @ Asheville Jon - and yet we kept listening...
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lewis (my middle btw spelled that way) - @ the beginning of that I sensed where it was going & said - oh, this won't be easy - but - it will be Epic...
	11:49am DJ Guin: @Joe Mcg -- big ask, but can you spin something off of Transformed Man for William Shatner's 90th Birthday?
	👻 11:49am YETI BOB: @RR: I play bass and a bit of keys, I've taken some lessons on both, I'm equally bad at both, but it's really interesting to me to compare the approaches. My brain is probably a total mess. @Spring - you're welcome! and yes, I majored in math in college but I've always loved music too.
	11:49am Andrew_in_WI: Had to sign in for that one.... it deserves ALL the clicky-stars.
	11:49am Joe McG: @Dano59: Oh, I have that one with me! I'll finish with it for you.
	11:49am Stevel: I can take whatever Joe McG dishes out. I think.
	👻 11:49am tim from champaign (now washington): I thought it was going to bust into Stairway to Rigby for a second.
	11:49am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:49am Asheville Jon: Lewis, i turned it off after about 15 minutes. unbearable
	11:50am Brendan: If there’s a vaccine for this song I’m taking it
	11:50am Joe McG: @Stevel: I think I'll start my Billy Joel special with "The Entertainer."
	11:50am Toutevoix: ))
	11:50am ChukAmok: @JoeMcG I see you’ve come in strong on the Rigby this week. Kudos!
	11:50am Jason from Houston: LOL, tim! This is a good one! That bass is not hiding out...
	11:50am Stevel: Velvet Opera scores with a gnarly bass sound! Joe McG: You can't scare me.
	11:51am WaffleMix: I ascribe to the leave it on, something worse will definitely come on, approach to WFMU
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lewis - RonAsheton is a Major Gittar Hero for me. Is a Link to that handy ??
	👻 11:51am tim from champaign (now washington): I might suggest "The Longest Time", Joe.
	11:51am McGroovey: I vote in favor of the Dennis Coffey Eleanor Rigby. Also, I would endorse the concept of three hours of Leonard Cohen. Or of Flipper, but no one asked for Flipper, except me. But Flipper probably hasn't made enough records to fill three hours, unless you pad it with the Brainwash 7" locked groove.
	11:51am Lewis: Ashevilles Jon - I suppose I am a glutton for that special punishment that our favorite radio station dishes out every now and the...
	11:51am Toutevoix: it knits
	11:51am Asheville Jon: do your worst on the billy joel special Joe, we can handle it!
	11:51am andy the painter: congrats to the Skeleton Crew, and ALL of us, for reaching the Marathon goal. thanks for all your work, Joe!
	11:52am Asheville Jon: Lewis, after the beatless, queen is my most hated band. fortunately fmu has other streams! :)
	11:52am Rich in Bay Ridge: Damn if I don't like every one of these E/R covers...well maybe not so high on the bluegrass one.
	11:52am Hubig Pie: I like my beer cold My TV loud And my radio......... unbearable
	11:52am Spring has Sprung: Joe McG ER 2028... start getting ready NOW
	11:52am Lewis: @RR - here ya go... wfmu.org...
	11:52am Stevel: Joe McG: What's amazing is, as one of the nicest people on the planet (hanging right with Sheila B) you are as cantankerous, radio-wise, as Ken. One of the many wonders of WFMU
	11:52am Joe McG: @Asheville Jon: I know it! You guys can handle anything. That's why we love you!
	11:52am Strandlund: Congratulations on making the marathon goal! It's shows like this that keep the money coming in!!
	11:52am Jason from Houston: This version just keeps giving!
	11:52am Asheville Jon: Joe, please play the longest version of Scenes from an Italian Restaurant you can find!
	👻 11:53am YETI BOB: @Webhamster Henry: Please make a 19TET "Elanor Rigby" so we can all hear what it would sound like!
	👻 11:53am tim from champaign (now washington): Here's a tough one: 3 hours of Rock-a-bye Baby covers.
	11:53am TonyR: There's a funny film called "Party Girl" where the crazed club owner REALLY had a thing against one mixer (a name like "Frankie Knuckles', but not him), and the hapless DJ was seduced into playing one, and got the record broken for his troubles. Where are THOSE GIFs, Internet??
	11:53am Rich in Bay Ridge: Well, Joe, you eased us into what turned into a triumphant first post-Marathon show. Kudos and THANKS!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheers Lewis ! ...BillyJoel is someone I have to be coddled into admitting has any merit whatsoever - the fake EltonJohn far as I'm concerned. People like him cause they look like him - but that's true of everybody...
	11:54am Strandlund: CARAVAN would make a great all cover show, Joe!
	11:54am Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: I am freaking out over this set. Absolutely loving it. Some of the coolest stuff I've heard in a while.
	11:54am Lewis: my favorite week on wfmu is the week after the marathon!
	11:55am Joe McG: @Strandlund: Still considering it!

	11:56am Toutevoix: All the lonely people together unite!
	11:56am Joe McG: Hey thanks for putting up with this today and well, thanks again for supporting WFMU and getting us to our goal this year. Despite what I just did to you, I love you all.
	👻 11:56am YETI BOB: @Strandlund: Hahaha, me and a few friends once recorded a punk-jazz version called "I Don't Caravan"
	11:56am TonyR: Plague has transformed my 'FMUing into a highly structured/scheduled affair. I have all my fave shows' days memorized.
	11:56am McGroovey: These are all fine Eleanor Rigbys.
	11:56am TonyR: "No one was saved." Abt sums it up.
	11:57am βrian: Joe is sporting a Listener Beater today.
	11:57am Erin in TO: I am loving this P.P. Arnold version so much...so sad and a little creepy
	11:57am Santos L Halper: Thanks for that hot Coffey Joe! Looks like there’s 2 sets of stuff from those shows. And congrats on the marathon!
	11:57am Yes: THANK YOU JOE
	11:57am D Rok (in brooklyn): I've been on a call for work, and have been aware of this string of Eleanor Rigby covers happening in the background, but am damn sad I haven't been able to really listen to them.
	11:57am Asheville Jon: Joe, you need to check out Emmett Chapman's version. might be a bit too psychedelic for this show though
	11:57am Michael Shelley: pleasure to just hear some good music this morning!
	11:57am johnk77: 7year rigby itch sounds like a social disease picked up in a rock club in the before times?;>
	11:57am Stevel: The Joe McG show, pioneering the Stockholm Syndrome waves of radio glory.
	11:57am Joe non Papa: I'm sorry I missed the Elvis Costello singles (food shopping). I had this memory ringing in my head since I heard the the Chet Baker you played early in the show. I was at one of those Dr Pepper open air concerts by the Hudson River around 1983 and went to hear EC on his Punch the Clock tour, I think. He took a special break to introduce a guest trumpeter, I recall. I was not familiar with Jazz at the time. Anyone know if that happened to be Chet Baker playing with EC?
	11:57am Rich in Bay Ridge: @TonyR - i only know what day of the week/time of day it is by who is on the air at any given time
	11:57am Asheville Jon: thanks Joe, for the show, and everything you do for WFMU!!!!!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Mainstream 1970s Music is often my weak spot for enlightened tolerance ...Disco is a weird area & whole Sociological topic ...Yerknow - some of us just aren't especially Dancey.
	11:58am Erin in TO: @Joe McG can't speak for anyone else, but all you did to me was give me multiple new, fantastic versions of a song I love
	11:58am Toutevoix: wfmunited
	👻 11:58am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe! You are the best!
	11:58am Brendan: That was fucked up Joe, but I forgive you already
	11:59am Devin B.: Always thought the plural was 'Eleanors Rigby.'
	11:59am johnk77: great work selecter
