	9:06am Greg from ZONE 5: Joe McGasko! The nation turns its lonely eyes to you…
	9:06am Handy Haversack: Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to syncopate me, aren't you.

	9:12am dave wuz here: due to heavy call volume we are experiencing longer than usual wait times
	👻 9:12am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Cool sounds for a warm day.
	9:12am Strandlund: Why do I feel like having a smoke and a scotch in the den..?
	9:12am davefromtoronto: hearing these versions without vocals really makes you notice and appreciate how great the melodies are. hey joe!

	9:14am earthwalker: Joe. Thanks again for the Swags !
	👻 9:15am Webhamster Henry: @Kpx - further scrolling has Guy Smiley introducing them, but I consider Guy an unreliable narrator. The Martians (addressed as Stevie and Jonathan Martian) are the contestants on one of Guy Smiley's game shows.
	9:16am Juli: Excellent
	9:17am djsheilab: Mornin’ Joe! Glad to be catching some of this gentle n’ jazzy first set.
	9:18am listener monica: I often find myself singing 'Flying.'
	9:18am Handy Haversack: Yeah, never trust Guy Smiley!
	9:18am Tinley Park Randy: Flying is the only Beatles song credited to all four lads.
	9:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this morning they're Martini Martians...
	9:18am Greg from ZONE 5: "Flying" is the best Beatles song. That's just science.
	9:19am Listener Robert: I'm trying to remember whose WFMU program uses another version of "Flying" as an interval signal.
	9:19am mariano: Hey, J McG, everyone. Indeed, Handy -- He tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
	9:19am DJ Guin: "Only song"? Free As A Boid is credited to all 4, kinda

	👻 9:20am MasterofPuberty: Wow, this set is exactly what I needed this morning.
	9:20am Too Obtuse: Donkey Jaw = instant hit
	9:21am Joe McG: Hey everyone, thanks for coming together with me this morning on the radio. Welcome! (@SheilaB: Thanks for the inspiration!)
	9:21am earthwalker: Yesterday Heard a great I am the Walrus Spooky Tooth
	👻 9:22am Webhamster Henry: This set had better end with Miles Davis' Time After Time, which was really surprising at the time.
	9:22am Handy Haversack: That's one mark in his favor, Mariano!
	9:23am Andres: Good morning! That Flying was a beaut! And now I’m doing jazzy vocals in my head for this one.

	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 5th of November - proper ♏︎Scorpio holiday.
	👻 9:25am Ken From Hyde Park: www.classicfm.com... Behold the genius who invented the chocolate flute.
	9:25am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: The Guy in question came to a very sticky end. I'm sure he wasn't at all smiley then
	9:25am mariano: Set myself up for the double-riposte. Well played, Handy and Brian [golf clap] 'Morning, Phillippe!
	9:25am earthwalker: Did anyone catch the Match last night Someone had trouble getting the ball in the Net
	9:26am Phillippe: 'sup mariano?
	👻 9:26am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Jo Jo McGasko, is it true you left your home in Tucson, Arizona for some California grass?... Get back Jo Jo !
	9:27am PKNY: Roy Ayers is playing some sweet vibes on this!
	9:27am Joe McG: @LWR: Not true! I went to Albuquerque for some egg nog.
	9:27am Handy Haversack: Morning, Phillippe, Mariano, Ken, Brian, Andres, Kpx, Rev Rab, Webhamster, LWR, and all the upthreaders!
	9:30am earthwalker: Italy by default England down the drain
	9:31am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: earthwalker, I mentioned in a team meeting earlier that I wish I had put £50 on Italy to win, because that's what history tells you to do. It didn't go down well for some reason
	9:34am The Oscar: Mornin' Joe! Good groovy tunes for a rainy Monday morning.
	9:35am mariano: And a good morning to you as well, Handy.
	9:35am Andres: Hey, Handy! I should put a canoe in that river across the road from me. Sometime soon.
	9:35am Joe McG: @Oscar: Hard to tell how to approach today. Is it sunny? Is it rainy? Is it cloudy? Hard to make a music match, so I went for relaxed "could be stay in, could be take a stroll" music.
	9:36am MplsCoco: Best version of this song
	9:36am dave wuz here: a tasty reuben
	9:37am earthwalker: Kevin I’m in France I root for the French I don’t think I ever seen a American play soccer
	9:38am The Oscar: @Joe Not sure what it's like down there, but it's most definitely not strollin' weather here in Boston!
	9:39am JtotheK: Hi! Enjoying this first set, very much.
	9:39am Kpx: If I had a smoking jacket and a fez I'd be wearing them now, complete with pipe. Morning Handy.
	9:40am Krys O.: It's overcast and humid here in Roseland. This set was soothing.
	9:41am KWilde: Hey Joe
	9:41am earthwalker: I was in my easy chair for that last Set
	9:41am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: earthwalker, I'm originally from Scotland, so I root for whoever England are playing...
	9:41am Phillippe: Hey there Handy!
	9:43am earthwalker: Kevin I’m with ya !
	👻 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Flash flood watch in this sector through tomorrow afternoon. Stroll at your own risk!
	9:45am TDK60: West Coaster Bud S. did a great early album with Ravi Shankar "Improvisations." (same W.P. label).
	9:46am Handy Haversack: I'll say it since CP is still vacationeering: Spiral Staircase was the first concert Clay Pigeon saw! Yeah, Ken, I'm getting the feeling I might have to cancel the canoe trip to the BK Navy Yard that I had planned for this evening.
	9:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm STILL in love with Audrey Hepburn.
	9:48am earthwalker: Reach out and touch someone
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cartoon : www.jazzguitar.be...
	9:50am Joe McG: @TDK60: I've been looking for that one for awhile, but haven't found it yet. Big fan of the Yehudi Menuhin albums with Ravi.
	9:50am Clay: Thank you, Handy
	9:50am Handy Haversack: SAULT featured on Bandcamp Daily today as among "The Best Soul on Bandcamp," according to an e-mail I just received. daily.bandcamp.com... And Bandcamp Friday just a couple of weeks away!
	9:50am dug: relaxing tune.
	9:51am Handy Haversack: Ha, hi, Clay! You're welcome. Couldn't let the moment go by unmarked!
	9:51am Spinning Giant: well hey now...this is fresh and breezy, @Joe McG - a perfect way to ease into the workday :D CHeers, my man!
	9:52am headcleaner: or like Paul Desmond did (if somewhat off the mark): touch fate
	9:52am Joe McG: Cheers, SG. If I didn't have to open my yap, this would have segued nicely out of "I Say a Little Prayer."
	9:52am TerrDE: 6 Pence vibe or ...
	9:53am Rich in Washington: That Sault track is lovely.
	9:56am TDK60: Joe, I had that LP from my dad. Too scratchy now. Those Yehudi/Ravi meetings were tops.
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Well, while I have Bandcamp open, best just to wishlist that Crowley album ...
	9:57am Yes: Good morning everyone.
	9:59am turkeysexy: Thank you Joe! Such a nice set, just what I needed :,)
	9:59am TDK60: Forgot to say morning, Handy. \| I found out about A. Crowley via this here radio station. (Irene T.)
	10:00am Handy Haversack: Ooooh, High Llamas! Nice, Joe. You are panning out quite nicely! They do keep educating us, TDK60!
	10:01am Joe McG: @ts: Glad it's hitting the spot! @Handy: With this pan, I'd better! (Self-conscious about my self-administered haircut.)
	10:02am Andres: I thought the last singer was Divine Comedy. And this High Llamas has kindred string arrangements to DC.
	10:02am Yes: Looks like I Have to unfortunately put my sweet dog down later today. Metastasized cancer. Thank you for the music joe. Listening together imgur.com...
	10:04am Handy Haversack: I have grown out my hair for the first time in 25 years. And my beard. And I have realized that I have no exit strategy. I have cut my own hair that whole time and really know nothing other than "let it grow" and "take it all off"! It's like watching a slow-motion car wreck, but I'm also the car!
	10:04am headcleaner: mourning with you, Yes
	10:05am Andres: Sad to hear that, Yes. Take care.
	10:05am turkeysexy: @Yes - sending support and love!
	10:05am Joe McG: Aw, jeez, Yes, I'm so sorry. Fill your pup's last day with love...just like all the other days.
	10:06am Joe McG: @Andres: I would play the Divine Comedy if I hadn't just played them last week. At least I think it was last week.
	10:07am dave wuz here: ha i wuz thinking devine comedy too great stuff
	10:08am Son Of Pantz: "Every household could use a Hammond!"
	10:08am Rich in Bristol: Well...football didn't come home, but England did a damn fine job getting to their first major final since 1966. They've got a really good chance in next year's World Cup! Congratulations to Italy. And hi to Joe and all the great folks here.
	10:08am Handy Haversack: Oh, Yes, so very, very sorry to hear that. Exactly as Joe said: your love will make the transition one of peace. Bagpipe and I are going send love while we hug (and at least one of us cries a little). Sympathy and solidarity.
	10:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Yes: Very sorry to hear that. We had to do that (for the very same reason) a few years ago. Somebody told me that when you get a puppy you're signing up for one very sad day. True. But giving a dog the best life has all of those other rewards. Take care.
	10:09am earthwalker: Handy my prayers go out to you
	10:09am TDK60: Sorry to hear Yes. Tough to lose a canine friend. They know you care.
	10:10am Handy Haversack: I'll redirect to Yes, ew, and add some extra. All is well here.
	10:11am Joe McG: When I was a kid, my dog had epilepsy and I'll never forget sitting out in the rain with him in the yard making sure he didn't hurt himself during a sudden seizure. We had to put him to sleep because of the severity of the disease.
	👻 10:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Sorry to hear that news, Yes. May doggie heaven provide comfort.
	10:12am Too Obtuse: @Yes - Peace and strength to you on the saddest of days. Hang in there.
	10:12am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: During the pandemic the wife started cutting my hair. I happened to have a set of pro grade trimmers for my beard so once a month she gives me the #3 on the top, #2 on the sides.
	10:12am Yes: Thank you friends
	10:15am earthwalker: Hey Clay !
	10:16am Joe McG: @Woods: One of the many benefits of being married, I guess! I'm half-blind and the lighting in my bathroom is terrible, so I think this might be my final effort.
	👻 10:19am Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe that can be a draw for the monthly Saturday Sidewalk Sale events. "Come watch Matt give Joe a haircut at 1PM!"
	10:21am Handy Haversack: We know it wouldn't be happening in a bathroom!
	10:22am headcleaner: You need to learn to do it by -touch-, Joe, (and your own mental map of what's going on the other side of your head), not by looking at the mirror (which screws with everything, by flipping the coordinates). That's the magic key to cutting one's own hair
	10:22am Joe McG: @Ken: No way, he uses a Flowbee!
	10:23am The Oscar: Word from Cannes is that Todd Haynes' new VU movie is fantastic-- looks like a good year for music docs!
	10:23am JG: Lotta cool tunes today
	10:23am Joe McG: @headcleaner: Sounds very "trust the force"!
	10:25am earthwalker: My good buddy cuts and dyes his own hair He did 13 years in prison I think that’s where he learned the trade
	10:25am TerrDE: w this beat, the Dead would kill this, fading in to Lovelight
	10:27am earthwalker: Terr. You know our love will not fade away !
	10:27am Andres: The quality of today’s programme (high) is seriously affecting my productivity (low). Loving it.
	10:29am earthwalker: My love is bigger than a Cadillac
	10:29am P-90: Thumbs up for Bud’s version
	10:29am davefromtoronto: surface noise would never be complete without the joe mcGasko laugh and throat clearing.
	10:30am Handy Haversack: Lando's not a system. He's a man.
	👻 10:30am Brian in UK: @Yes, sympathy. We are just about to bury the ashes of our seventeen year old cat in the garden who has similar cancerous problems. Be strong.
	10:32am listener monica: Larry Norman also had a role in "Beware the Blob."
	10:32am Handy Haversack: Our cats are 15, 15, and 18 now, and the dog is 9 and just now starting to slow down just a touch but noticeable for the first time. Intimations of mortality are never far away. But lots of joy, too.
	10:33am Joe McG: @monica: Wow, really?!
	10:33am davefromtoronto: this is also like "life is a rock" or whatever that tune was called.
	10:35am listener monica: I was a born again teenager. The album was called "Only Visiting This Planet." I really dug him then and still do.
	10:36am davefromtoronto: the guy who wrote this amazing song took his own life. life imitating art and vice versa
	10:36am headcleaner: I'm starting to slow down myself a bit, Handy. But I don't call it that. Rather I call it "becoming one with time"
	10:36am Joe McG: @monica: Yes, it's a good album! I have his first 3 or 4. He's a good songwriter, catchy tunes.
	10:39am Handy Haversack: Ha, good call, headcleaner. I have to head into Manhattan for a COVID test for work for going back in Sept. I am aware that it makes no sense. Thanks, Joe! Really great show. Enjoyed it tremendously. Later on, all! Hope to be back in time for most of efd's fill-in.
	👻 10:39am pgalub: Hey Joe, Handy, everyone! Always loved this song.
	10:39am listener monica: @Joe i never owned any of his stuff. i was hoping when my friend's mom house had a fire (I had a key to get in) that I would find his LPs still there but no such luck.
	10:40am Mike tp: what a nice son g by FAMILY JOE!
	10:40am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Love this song. Roger Chapman of Family was also a very prolific solo artist. Haven't listed to his stuff for years
	10:41am Brendan: It’s also sad to think of the animal’s side when the human (eschewing the word ‘owner’), precedes the critter in death.
	10:41am Joe McG: @pg and tp: Glad you like this one! Sorry this side of the 45 is a bit scratchy. Played the wrong side (same song both sides, one is OK and the other ain't).
	10:41am chresti: Hello morning Joe and company! listening from LA
	👻 10:42am pgalub: @Joe- so much surface noise! ;)
	10:43am dano59: This Family track is lovely, and so folky. I have to disagree w/Miss Knight — all this rain, and my kitchen ceiling collapsed last night. Oy! But the cleanup soundtrack is pretty groovy, thanks.
	10:43am Joe McG: Yes, truth in advertising. Glad I didn't call the show "Pristine-Sounding Music."
	10:44am Joe McG: @dano: Oy! Sorry to hear about your ceiling, jeez louise.
	10:46am Brendan: He wants to marry ‘Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Jones’ . Because they’ve got a ‘thing’.
	10:47am davefromtoronto: that's alot for mr jones to absorb in 2 minutes or less...
	10:47am Joe McG: @Brendan/dave: Ha ha ha
	10:47am Brendan: Billy Paul’s voice sure changed
	👻 10:48am pgalub: Kind of a country Layla thing going on there.
	10:48am TerrDE: at first I thought it was one of those talk to the artist song w George Jones the target
	10:49am Too Obtuse: F*ckin' 'igsons!
	10:49am Joe McG: @Terr: Wow, I wouldn't want to have that conversation with George Jones. He'd blow your brains out! And Tammy would cry.
	10:50am Mungo Perkins: Charlie Higson has achieved national treasure status over here :)
	10:50am Mungo Perkins: Need to check the drainage in the lower field ;)
	10:52am Joe McG: @Mungo: I haven't followed his career. What's he up to these days?
	10:53am Krys O.: Yes, Charlie Higson has had a few careers after music. I love the Fast Show. @Mungo: The spinoff of that sketch is so sweet.
	10:53am Mungo Perkins: Actor, comedian, author, well known for the 90's sketch show "The Fast Show"
	10:54am Son Of Pantz: Get it, Leather!
	10:54am Mungo Perkins: www.youtube.com...
	10:54am Joe McG: Thanks, post-show youtubery on the horizon.
	👻 10:56am Brian in UK: Charlie Higson chatting. www.youtube.com...
	10:59am dano59: The Gospel According to Joe Tex ! I found this HLG single a couple yrs ago in Rochester after wantlisting it forever. Worth the wait!!
	👻 11:00am pgalub: @Joe is Bill Berry singing? (Or Peter Buck?)
	11:00am Brendan: It would be interesting to hear how Joe Tex, Percy Sledge, James Brown, etc. would accommodate non-binary people in their lyrics.
	11:02am Joe McG: @pg: I always wondereed! If you can find out, let me know.
	11:03am ?: ha just went down the warren zevon rabbit hole after listening to todd o phonic todd's show and got around to the hindu love gods, awesome!
	11:05am Hams: i am currently neighbors with the gentleman playing bass with the hindu love gods.
	11:05am dano59: Bryan Cook. Peter’s got a low, non-melodic voice; Bill did the high harmonies on a lot of R.E.M. records
	👻 11:06am tim from washington: Hi Joe and everybody!
	11:08am headcleaner: dreaded, but not a 4-letter word
	11:12am headcleaner: recent Guardian piece on Witch: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/jul/05/witch-the-glory-and-tragedy-of-zambias-psych-rock-trailblazers
	11:12am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): We have fake pines in the northeast. They look really silly.
	11:13am Brendan: Yeah they have these fake eucalyptus trees in California that are really cell phone towers.
	11:14am sophie: This is good !!
	11:17am Brendan: Sometimes the local laws cannot prevent cell towers from being built but they can require them to be concealed. I don’t know if I like that idea.Better the devil known, it comes to electromagnetic fields. Typical California though. Gotta pretty it up.
	11:18am steveo: Good morning Joe & everyone
	11:18am Joe McG: @sophie: I agree! Very nice stuff.
	11:18am sophie: There's a great one in LA that's a huge pine tree. Pine trees don't grow in LA
	11:19am sophie: * christmas tree
	11:19am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Hadn't heard of Marc Ribot. Really nice Joe
	11:19am zivilars: very calming song, love it
	11:21am Joe McG: @Kevin: Check him out, he's had a long, varied career playing all kinds of interesting music. I have a soft spot for his Cuban period.
	👻 11:23am Ken From Hyde Park: When the military perfects cloaking technology, that can render the cell phone towers invisible. But then birds, drones and jetpack people will start colliding with them.
	11:28am Krys O.: Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog is worth checking out too.
	11:28am Mike W.: Joe what’s that band of Ribot’s called, Ceramic Dog? Can’t remember if they were an outlet for his Cuban explorations. Of course, no one of a certain age can forget Ribot chaining himself to the stage at Tonic in 2006 as the marshals came to shut it down and arrest whomever they could...
	11:29am Joe McG: @Mike: They were the Cubanos Postizos. He also much earlier in his career did some solo acoustic stuff that was Cuban, or maybe Brazilian, I now forget.
	11:30am sophie: Wow :O
	👻 11:33am tim from washington: @Mike W -What's the story behind the Tonic show?
	11:33am Krys O.: @Tim: Tonic was being forced out by their landlord, I recall.
	11:34am Krys O.: @Tim: Here's some info: en.wikipedia.org... I loved seeing bands at Tonic.
	11:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): My favorite Ribot album is Rootless Cosmopolitans. There's a song called "The Cocktail Party" which is a sort of sideways, busted funk instrumental. That record also has a totally crazy cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
	👻 11:36am tim from washington: Thanks, Krys.
	11:37am Brendan: Got a devil’s haircut in my mind.
	11:37am Krys O.: I saw Ribot play with other former Tom Waits musicians at Ralph Carney's memorial that was organized by Hal Wilner.
	11:38am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: Jealous!!!!
	11:40am steveo: Crud I dropped a stitch
	11:40am Joe McG: I've seen Ribot accompany Waits and Elvis Costello live. I also really enjoyed seeing him live doing his own thing.
	11:40am Krys O.: @Woods: There were tears, laughs, and great music.
	11:40am chresti: Season of the stitch!
	11:41am Brendan: must be a reason for the itch
	11:42am steveo: I think this song is about knitting, which many witches enjoy. Also great cover
	11:43am Son Of Pantz: The snitch gets the stitch
	👻 11:44am 12539: Joe, the acoustic Ribot you're thinking of may be these recordings of the works of Casseus, who was Haitian and Ribot's teacher.
	11:44am Brendan: It’s mange (the reason for the itch)
	👻 11:46am Brian in UK: Joe, hearing Richard Youngs made me wonder do you still have the Lowery organ on site?
	11:48am Joe McG: @12539: Hm, I swear I have something else, but you may be right. @Brian: We sure do, but no bands here to play it!
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: Joe, great work as ever. Better get some gardening done whilst the sun shines.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...distracted. Everybody having a good time? Sounding great.
	👻 11:50am 12539: Joe, Haitian Suite? www.discogs.com... The new release is more complete.
	👻 11:51am tim from washington: Super awesome song title for the Mountain Goats song.
	11:52am Joe McG: @12539: Yes, it's the same one! Thanks.
	11:53am Juli: I was like this sounds a lot like The Mountain Goats
	11:53am Juli: Anyone have a fave Mountain Goats album? It is okee if no
	👻 11:54am tim from washington: Thanks, Joe! Have a super week!
	👻 11:54am 12539: Thank! You! Joe!
	11:55am annie: thanks for the great show this morning joe..been listening since it came on, and now for irene!!
	11:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Juli: All Hail West Texas

	11:55am Davis: what a really great set!
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great week and I'll see you next time.
	11:55am Krys O.: Thank you, Joe!
	11:55am Brendan: Here’s an interview with MC Taylor (Golden Hiss Msgr) , Discussing the album, incl. the track ‘Painting Houses’. It’s a nice read. https://magazine.vinylmeplease.com/magazine/inside-listening-hiss-golden-messenger/
	11:56am Hubig Pie: Well, this is a voice I could recognize from 10 miles away
	11:58am radioronan: Thanks Joe!
	11:58am karlward: Great show!
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves ScawtWalker. Whether there is any thread the beads all go on - or not. There's the aesthetic.
	👻 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for taking us through a stroll of great music this morning, Joe.
	11:59am earthwalker: Joe with the Show Thanks
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY Always DJ JoeMcG.

	9:27am Handy Haversack: Morning, Phillippe, Mariano, Ken, Brian, Andres, Kpx, Rev Rab, Webhamster, LWR, and all the upthreaders!
	9:30am earthwalker: Italy by default England down the drain
	9:31am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: earthwalker, I mentioned in a team meeting earlier that I wish I had put £50 on Italy to win, because that's what history tells you to do. It didn't go down well for some reason
	9:34am The Oscar: Mornin' Joe! Good groovy tunes for a rainy Monday morning.

	9:35am Joe McG: @Oscar: Hard to tell how to approach today. Is it sunny? Is it rainy? Is it cloudy? Hard to make a music match, so I went for relaxed "could be stay in, could be take a stroll" music.
	9:36am MplsCoco: Best version of this song
	9:36am dave wuz here: a tasty reuben
	9:37am earthwalker: Kevin I’m in France I root for the French I don’t think I ever seen a American play soccer

	9:43am earthwalker: Kevin I’m with ya !
	👻 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Flash flood watch in this sector through tomorrow afternoon. Stroll at your own risk!
	9:45am TDK60: West Coaster Bud S. did a great early album with Ravi Shankar "Improvisations." (same W.P. label).
	9:46am Handy Haversack: I'll say it since CP is still vacationeering: Spiral Staircase was the first concert Clay Pigeon saw! Yeah, Ken, I'm getting the feeling I might have to cancel the canoe trip to the BK Navy Yard that I had planned for this evening.
	9:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm STILL in love with Audrey Hepburn.
	9:48am earthwalker: Reach out and touch someone
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cartoon : www.jazzguitar.be...
	9:50am Joe McG: @TDK60: I've been looking for that one for awhile, but haven't found it yet. Big fan of the Yehudi Menuhin albums with Ravi.
	9:50am Clay: Thank you, Handy
	9:50am Handy Haversack: SAULT featured on Bandcamp Daily today as among "The Best Soul on Bandcamp," according to an e-mail I just received. daily.bandcamp.com... And Bandcamp Friday just a couple of weeks away!
	9:50am dug: relaxing tune.
	9:51am Handy Haversack: Ha, hi, Clay! You're welcome. Couldn't let the moment go by unmarked!
	9:51am Spinning Giant: well hey now...this is fresh and breezy, @Joe McG - a perfect way to ease into the workday :D CHeers, my man!
	9:52am headcleaner: or like Paul Desmond did (if somewhat off the mark): touch fate
	9:52am Joe McG: Cheers, SG. If I didn't have to open my yap, this would have segued nicely out of "I Say a Little Prayer."
	9:52am TerrDE: 6 Pence vibe or ...
	9:53am Rich in Washington: That Sault track is lovely.
	9:56am TDK60: Joe, I had that LP from my dad. Too scratchy now. Those Yehudi/Ravi meetings were tops.
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Well, while I have Bandcamp open, best just to wishlist that Crowley album ...
	9:57am Yes: Good morning everyone.
	9:59am turkeysexy: Thank you Joe! Such a nice set, just what I needed :,)
	9:59am TDK60: Forgot to say morning, Handy. \| I found out about A. Crowley via this here radio station. (Irene T.)
	10:00am Handy Haversack: Ooooh, High Llamas! Nice, Joe. You are panning out quite nicely! They do keep educating us, TDK60!
	10:01am Joe McG: @ts: Glad it's hitting the spot! @Handy: With this pan, I'd better! (Self-conscious about my self-administered haircut.)
	10:02am Andres: I thought the last singer was Divine Comedy. And this High Llamas has kindred string arrangements to DC.
	10:02am Yes: Looks like I Have to unfortunately put my sweet dog down later today. Metastasized cancer. Thank you for the music joe. Listening together imgur.com...
	10:04am Handy Haversack: I have grown out my hair for the first time in 25 years. And my beard. And I have realized that I have no exit strategy. I have cut my own hair that whole time and really know nothing other than "let it grow" and "take it all off"! It's like watching a slow-motion car wreck, but I'm also the car!
	10:04am headcleaner: mourning with you, Yes
	10:05am Andres: Sad to hear that, Yes. Take care.
	10:05am turkeysexy: @Yes - sending support and love!
	10:05am Joe McG: Aw, jeez, Yes, I'm so sorry. Fill your pup's last day with love...just like all the other days.
	10:06am Joe McG: @Andres: I would play the Divine Comedy if I hadn't just played them last week. At least I think it was last week.
	10:07am dave wuz here: ha i wuz thinking devine comedy too great stuff
	10:08am Son Of Pantz: "Every household could use a Hammond!"
	10:08am Rich in Bristol: Well...football didn't come home, but England did a damn fine job getting to their first major final since 1966. They've got a really good chance in next year's World Cup! Congratulations to Italy. And hi to Joe and all the great folks here.
	10:08am Handy Haversack: Oh, Yes, so very, very sorry to hear that. Exactly as Joe said: your love will make the transition one of peace. Bagpipe and I are going send love while we hug (and at least one of us cries a little). Sympathy and solidarity.
	10:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Yes: Very sorry to hear that. We had to do that (for the very same reason) a few years ago. Somebody told me that when you get a puppy you're signing up for one very sad day. True. But giving a dog the best life has all of those other rewards. Take care.
	10:09am earthwalker: Handy my prayers go out to you
	10:09am TDK60: Sorry to hear Yes. Tough to lose a canine friend. They know you care.
	10:10am Handy Haversack: I'll redirect to Yes, ew, and add some extra. All is well here.
	10:11am Joe McG: When I was a kid, my dog had epilepsy and I'll never forget sitting out in the rain with him in the yard making sure he didn't hurt himself during a sudden seizure. We had to put him to sleep because of the severity of the disease.
	👻 10:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Sorry to hear that news, Yes. May doggie heaven provide comfort.
	10:12am Too Obtuse: @Yes - Peace and strength to you on the saddest of days. Hang in there.
	10:12am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: During the pandemic the wife started cutting my hair. I happened to have a set of pro grade trimmers for my beard so once a month she gives me the #3 on the top, #2 on the sides.
	10:12am Yes: Thank you friends
	10:15am earthwalker: Hey Clay !
	10:16am Joe McG: @Woods: One of the many benefits of being married, I guess! I'm half-blind and the lighting in my bathroom is terrible, so I think this might be my final effort.
	👻 10:19am Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe that can be a draw for the monthly Saturday Sidewalk Sale events. "Come watch Matt give Joe a haircut at 1PM!"
	10:21am Handy Haversack: We know it wouldn't be happening in a bathroom!
	10:22am headcleaner: You need to learn to do it by -touch-, Joe, (and your own mental map of what's going on the other side of your head), not by looking at the mirror (which screws with everything, by flipping the coordinates). That's the magic key to cutting one's own hair
	10:22am Joe McG: @Ken: No way, he uses a Flowbee!
	10:23am The Oscar: Word from Cannes is that Todd Haynes' new VU movie is fantastic-- looks like a good year for music docs!
	10:23am JG: Lotta cool tunes today
	10:23am Joe McG: @headcleaner: Sounds very "trust the force"!
	10:25am earthwalker: My good buddy cuts and dyes his own hair He did 13 years in prison I think that’s where he learned the trade
	10:25am TerrDE: w this beat, the Dead would kill this, fading in to Lovelight
	10:27am earthwalker: Terr. You know our love will not fade away !
	10:27am Andres: The quality of today’s programme (high) is seriously affecting my productivity (low). Loving it.
	10:29am earthwalker: My love is bigger than a Cadillac
	10:29am P-90: Thumbs up for Bud’s version
	10:29am davefromtoronto: surface noise would never be complete without the joe mcGasko laugh and throat clearing.
	10:30am Handy Haversack: Lando's not a system. He's a man.
	👻 10:30am Brian in UK: @Yes, sympathy. We are just about to bury the ashes of our seventeen year old cat in the garden who has similar cancerous problems. Be strong.
	10:32am listener monica: Larry Norman also had a role in "Beware the Blob."
	10:32am Handy Haversack: Our cats are 15, 15, and 18 now, and the dog is 9 and just now starting to slow down just a touch but noticeable for the first time. Intimations of mortality are never far away. But lots of joy, too.
	10:33am Joe McG: @monica: Wow, really?!
	10:33am davefromtoronto: this is also like "life is a rock" or whatever that tune was called.
	10:35am listener monica: I was a born again teenager. The album was called "Only Visiting This Planet." I really dug him then and still do.
	10:36am davefromtoronto: the guy who wrote this amazing song took his own life. life imitating art and vice versa
	10:36am headcleaner: I'm starting to slow down myself a bit, Handy. But I don't call it that. Rather I call it "becoming one with time"
	10:36am Joe McG: @monica: Yes, it's a good album! I have his first 3 or 4. He's a good songwriter, catchy tunes.
	10:39am Handy Haversack: Ha, good call, headcleaner. I have to head into Manhattan for a COVID test for work for going back in Sept. I am aware that it makes no sense. Thanks, Joe! Really great show. Enjoyed it tremendously. Later on, all! Hope to be back in time for most of efd's fill-in.
	👻 10:39am pgalub: Hey Joe, Handy, everyone! Always loved this song.
	10:39am listener monica: @Joe i never owned any of his stuff. i was hoping when my friend's mom house had a fire (I had a key to get in) that I would find his LPs still there but no such luck.
	10:40am Mike tp: what a nice son g by FAMILY JOE!
	10:40am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Love this song. Roger Chapman of Family was also a very prolific solo artist. Haven't listed to his stuff for years
	10:41am Brendan: It’s also sad to think of the animal’s side when the human (eschewing the word ‘owner’), precedes the critter in death.
	10:41am Joe McG: @pg and tp: Glad you like this one! Sorry this side of the 45 is a bit scratchy. Played the wrong side (same song both sides, one is OK and the other ain't).
	10:41am chresti: Hello morning Joe and company! listening from LA
	👻 10:42am pgalub: @Joe- so much surface noise! ;)
	10:43am dano59: This Family track is lovely, and so folky. I have to disagree w/Miss Knight — all this rain, and my kitchen ceiling collapsed last night. Oy! But the cleanup soundtrack is pretty groovy, thanks.
	10:43am Joe McG: Yes, truth in advertising. Glad I didn't call the show "Pristine-Sounding Music."
	10:44am Joe McG: @dano: Oy! Sorry to hear about your ceiling, jeez louise.
	10:46am Brendan: He wants to marry ‘Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Jones’ . Because they’ve got a ‘thing’.
	10:47am davefromtoronto: that's alot for mr jones to absorb in 2 minutes or less...
	10:47am Joe McG: @Brendan/dave: Ha ha ha
	10:47am Brendan: Billy Paul’s voice sure changed
	👻 10:48am pgalub: Kind of a country Layla thing going on there.
	10:48am TerrDE: at first I thought it was one of those talk to the artist song w George Jones the target
	10:49am Too Obtuse: F*ckin' 'igsons!
	10:49am Joe McG: @Terr: Wow, I wouldn't want to have that conversation with George Jones. He'd blow your brains out! And Tammy would cry.
	10:50am Mungo Perkins: Charlie Higson has achieved national treasure status over here :)
	10:50am Mungo Perkins: Need to check the drainage in the lower field ;)
	10:52am Joe McG: @Mungo: I haven't followed his career. What's he up to these days?
	10:53am Krys O.: Yes, Charlie Higson has had a few careers after music. I love the Fast Show. @Mungo: The spinoff of that sketch is so sweet.
	10:53am Mungo Perkins: Actor, comedian, author, well known for the 90's sketch show "The Fast Show"
	10:54am Son Of Pantz: Get it, Leather!
	10:54am Mungo Perkins: www.youtube.com...
	10:54am Joe McG: Thanks, post-show youtubery on the horizon.
	👻 10:56am Brian in UK: Charlie Higson chatting. www.youtube.com...
	10:59am dano59: The Gospel According to Joe Tex ! I found this HLG single a couple yrs ago in Rochester after wantlisting it forever. Worth the wait!!
	👻 11:00am pgalub: @Joe is Bill Berry singing? (Or Peter Buck?)
	11:00am Brendan: It would be interesting to hear how Joe Tex, Percy Sledge, James Brown, etc. would accommodate non-binary people in their lyrics.
	11:02am Joe McG: @pg: I always wondereed! If you can find out, let me know.
	11:03am ?: ha just went down the warren zevon rabbit hole after listening to todd o phonic todd's show and got around to the hindu love gods, awesome!
	11:05am Hams: i am currently neighbors with the gentleman playing bass with the hindu love gods.
	11:05am dano59: Bryan Cook. Peter’s got a low, non-melodic voice; Bill did the high harmonies on a lot of R.E.M. records
	👻 11:06am tim from washington: Hi Joe and everybody!
	11:08am headcleaner: dreaded, but not a 4-letter word
	11:12am headcleaner: recent Guardian piece on Witch: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/jul/05/witch-the-glory-and-tragedy-of-zambias-psych-rock-trailblazers
	11:12am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): We have fake pines in the northeast. They look really silly.
	11:13am Brendan: Yeah they have these fake eucalyptus trees in California that are really cell phone towers.
	11:14am sophie: This is good !!
	11:17am Brendan: Sometimes the local laws cannot prevent cell towers from being built but they can require them to be concealed. I don’t know if I like that idea.Better the devil known, it comes to electromagnetic fields. Typical California though. Gotta pretty it up.
	11:18am steveo: Good morning Joe & everyone
	11:18am Joe McG: @sophie: I agree! Very nice stuff.
	11:18am sophie: There's a great one in LA that's a huge pine tree. Pine trees don't grow in LA
	11:19am sophie: * christmas tree
	11:19am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Hadn't heard of Marc Ribot. Really nice Joe
	11:19am zivilars: very calming song, love it
	11:21am Joe McG: @Kevin: Check him out, he's had a long, varied career playing all kinds of interesting music. I have a soft spot for his Cuban period.
	👻 11:23am Ken From Hyde Park: When the military perfects cloaking technology, that can render the cell phone towers invisible. But then birds, drones and jetpack people will start colliding with them.
	11:28am Krys O.: Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog is worth checking out too.
	11:28am Mike W.: Joe what’s that band of Ribot’s called, Ceramic Dog? Can’t remember if they were an outlet for his Cuban explorations. Of course, no one of a certain age can forget Ribot chaining himself to the stage at Tonic in 2006 as the marshals came to shut it down and arrest whomever they could...
	11:29am Joe McG: @Mike: They were the Cubanos Postizos. He also much earlier in his career did some solo acoustic stuff that was Cuban, or maybe Brazilian, I now forget.
	11:30am sophie: Wow :O
	👻 11:33am tim from washington: @Mike W -What's the story behind the Tonic show?
	11:33am Krys O.: @Tim: Tonic was being forced out by their landlord, I recall.
	11:34am Krys O.: @Tim: Here's some info: en.wikipedia.org... I loved seeing bands at Tonic.
	11:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): My favorite Ribot album is Rootless Cosmopolitans. There's a song called "The Cocktail Party" which is a sort of sideways, busted funk instrumental. That record also has a totally crazy cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
	👻 11:36am tim from washington: Thanks, Krys.
	11:37am Brendan: Got a devil’s haircut in my mind.
	11:37am Krys O.: I saw Ribot play with other former Tom Waits musicians at Ralph Carney's memorial that was organized by Hal Wilner.
	11:38am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: Jealous!!!!
	11:40am steveo: Crud I dropped a stitch
	11:40am Joe McG: I've seen Ribot accompany Waits and Elvis Costello live. I also really enjoyed seeing him live doing his own thing.
	11:40am Krys O.: @Woods: There were tears, laughs, and great music.
	11:40am chresti: Season of the stitch!
	11:41am Brendan: must be a reason for the itch
	11:42am steveo: I think this song is about knitting, which many witches enjoy. Also great cover
	11:43am Son Of Pantz: The snitch gets the stitch
	👻 11:44am 12539: Joe, the acoustic Ribot you're thinking of may be these recordings of the works of Casseus, who was Haitian and Ribot's teacher.
	11:44am Brendan: It’s mange (the reason for the itch)
	👻 11:46am Brian in UK: Joe, hearing Richard Youngs made me wonder do you still have the Lowery organ on site?
	11:48am Joe McG: @12539: Hm, I swear I have something else, but you may be right. @Brian: We sure do, but no bands here to play it!
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: Joe, great work as ever. Better get some gardening done whilst the sun shines.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...distracted. Everybody having a good time? Sounding great.
	👻 11:50am 12539: Joe, Haitian Suite? www.discogs.com... The new release is more complete.
	👻 11:51am tim from washington: Super awesome song title for the Mountain Goats song.
	11:52am Joe McG: @12539: Yes, it's the same one! Thanks.
	11:53am Juli: I was like this sounds a lot like The Mountain Goats
	11:53am Juli: Anyone have a fave Mountain Goats album? It is okee if no
