	9:13am Rachel Bo Bachel: Kids and I just watched the Never-ending Story- similar musical vibe
	9:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Raining every day in New Hampshire.

	9:18am Emily: Love the dreamy midsommer angst
	9:19am Asheville Jon: GIORGIO! ANOTHER YES!!!!!! sweet beginning to the show today Joe!!!
	9:20am Asheville Jon: (you speeled Giorgio wrong on the playlist)
	9:20am winston legthigh: a horse named handy ran a very good third at saratoga yesterday.
	9:20am Joe McG: Me? I never speel anything rong.
	9:20am Asheville Jon: heh
	9:23am Juli: I thought ABBA was Madonna's New Age Phase from far away...it was the same year I think... These tunes are amazing
	9:23am Juli: Wow.
	9:24am Juli: Madonna's New Age Phase is a good band name
	9:25am Joe McG: I like the electronic frogs on this song.
	9:25am Phillippe: good morning
	9:26am nathan: yes, the swamp interlude is the best part
	9:26am sydnius: Sorry Peter, we're going with the Korg
	9:26am Handy Haversack: Ha, nice, winston! Joe, after this New Order record, though, those frogs had to stoop to working for Budweiser just to maintain the hedonistic showbiz lifestyle they'd grown accustomed to. The Behind the Music episode on it is kind of tragic. Hey, Phillippe!
	9:28am Joe McG: @Handy: Next thing you know, Pepe's gone to the dark side.
	9:28am spodiodi: gm Phillipe!
	9:28am Juli: Abba was around in 2001 or that was just the release lol

	9:29am GeorgeSimian: Loving the show today, Joe!
	9:30am Juli: Thank you!
	9:30am Joe McG: Thanks, GS, hardly ever begin dancey, so why not. It's summer.
	9:30am GeorgeSimian: Why haven't they done the doc on ABBA, like they did on The Eagles or The Go-Gos. Or maybe they did and I didn't know.
	9:31am listener Rey: Good morning everyone. Digging the energetic start to today's show.
	9:32am Phillippe: hey spodi, hey handy! A nice weekend was had by all, I trust?
	9:33am Juli: www.youtube.com...
	9:35am spodiodi: i can't complain, Phillipe. how about you? get in any fishing or boating?
	9:36am Ike-O: peace and greetings!
	9:37am GeorgeSimian: Not sure about that one, Juli. But the comments under the video are awesome.
	9:37am Juli: Lmao
	9:39am Phillippe: @spodi a little fishing, boat is sitting at the pier with locked-up steering, lord knows when/how to fix it. There's a saying around here, boats are cheap, working boats are not. I bought a cheap boat...
	9:41am Handy Haversack: Weekend ... yes, I think I recall something of the sort. It was pretty good. Kate had a great gig on Friday. We managed to accomplish some tasks and hear a friend (and WFMU listener!) spin on Sat. And then Sunday Sundayed. Hoping the weather holds and we get out on the river this afternoon.
	9:41am dano59: Glass Candy reminds me of Jarre, one of my fixations at 18
	9:42am Handy Haversack: This song is breaking my heart!
	9:45am Phillippe: sounds fun, handy! say hi to the fishes for me! Speaking of fishes, the estuary tank is going well. Had to release a few aggressive fishes into the wild. One was kind of confused and essentially stayed where I dropped it in for about 20 minutes. Also had to release the crab -- once he sloughed, he supersized and decided to hunt instead of wait for fish to get too close by. Lost three fish to him in two days.
	9:47am Editor B: It's amazing to me too Joe!
	9:48am earthwalker: Yo Joe !
	9:48am weiterso: hello to overthere from overhere, europe!
	9:49am spodiodi: Phillippe, if i lived closer, i'd offer to help figure your steering out. (love problem solving -- not that i know much about boats). it's good you still have the dock for fishing and crabbing.
	9:49am spodiodi: nice set, Joe! haven't heard Glass Candy in a while
	9:50am Juli: Yes Gardens!
	9:50am Juli: And I feel like all goals were achieved in that set by everyone involved
	9:51am earthwalker: Nice listening
	👻 9:52am karlward: I love "The Perfect Kiss"
	9:56am Mike W.: I am standing in a field... listening to Surface Noise
	9:56am Phillippe: If I still have problems, I'll fly you out, spodi! The guy who had it before me severely neglected it and I suspect there's something rusted or broken where the motor pivots. He had docked it with the motor down and then didn't operate it for a couple years. Barnacles on the prop when I got it, that kind of neglect. First world problems though, so I'm not actually complaining, just informing (that's what I tell my bride when she says I complain too much. There's truth in my avatar...)
	9:56am Mike W.: Field music
	9:57am Joe McG: Mike, you're outstanding in your field.
	9:58am mlsgrrl: Reluctantly leaving this lovely program for a meeting.... grr
	👻 9:58am karlward: Don't take the children to space! Their bones are still growing!
	9:58am Handy Haversack: You listenin', Jersey City tax assessor? You might learn something!
	9:59am listener Rey: Science!
	10:00am BillyLundun: good to hear someone is taking the education of the Yuth in the UK seriously!
	10:01am weiterso: they realy sound like french pop-music
	10:02am earthwalker: Joe you have got to be the most relaxed DJ I've ever heard So cool
	10:02am Joe McG: Going out to all the teachers!
	👻 10:02am karlward: Joe: you may have heard about that McGruff the Crime Dog song "Inhalants" that sounds like New Order: news.knowyourmeme.com...
	10:03am Handy Haversack: Whoa. I did NOT know that TMBG's version was a cover!
	10:03am Mark Hurst: Today's show has great chemistry!
	10:03am BillyLundun: @karlward wow that crime dog song is a gas!
	👻 10:03am Webhamster Henry: Space Songs (and Weather Songs) are always welcome!
	10:04am Handy Haversack: (Cover it may be, but live it is INCANDESCENT!)
	10:04am Joe McG: @MH: Ha ha!
	10:04am Krys O.: Yes! I know the TMBG version quite well.
	10:04am spodiodi: sounds good, Phillippe. the only boat's steering i've ever really touched was so old and simple that it was pretty much just ropes and pulleys (boat was prob from the 50s; this was in the 80s.) the boat would later catch fire during a water skiing outing (and what you added at the end in parentheses is so familiar that i had to lol) cheers :) TMBG taught me thisn
	10:04am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: An early fusion track...
	👻 10:04am Webhamster Henry: TMBG not only covered this, they wrote an"answer song" updating the science: The Sun is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma.
	👻 10:06am Webhamster Henry: Miss Nelson will entrance you with her hand-jive.
	10:06am Joe McG: @Kevin: Ha ha
	10:06am BillyLundun: seetar!
	10:06am BillyLundun: this is my jam!
	10:07am RevWaldo: Speaking of great videos, the video for Perfect Kiss is a classic - a live-in-studio peformance www.youtube.com... (Their faces at the end all say "well that could have gone better.")
	10:07am summertime mayonnaise: morning 🌄 all
	10:07am Mike W.: I am out, standing in a field Still
	10:07am Handy Haversack: Is this Mr. Burns after one of his treatments?
	10:07am BillyLundun: Peace and worms dude
	10:07am The Oscar: Mornin'! I had a feeling this set would be leading to Bruce and Esther.
	10:08am Ike-O: today i think i learned i was right to think the dancers in bollywood movies are actually telling a whole subtext with their gestures
	10:09am morphe': Carry over diddie from W&B stuff: All the people in France wear ??? upon their A** And the way they shake is enough to kill a snake When the snake is dead they put flowers in its head When the flowers die they [cannot remember the rest]
	10:10am Phillippe: @spodi this one is pretty simple as well, just a hydraulic piston that sits horizontal under motor, no power steering or anything. It's what you get when you buy a boat made by a company that also makes bowling balls.
	10:10am Handy Haversack: Gonna be a tough spare, Phillippe.
	10:11am spodiodi: all the girls in france do the hoochie coochie dance and they way they shake it's enough to kill a snake when they snake drops dead they grow roses in their head when the roses break (?) it's in 1948
	10:11am spodiodi: something something 7-10 split!
	10:11am Phillippe: It's a 7-10 at the moment, Handy
	10:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Boating/bowling ball dad jokes. It's the kind of content I come to WFMU for.
	10:12am Phillippe: ha, beat me to it spodi!
	10:12am spodiodi: roses/diamonds. snakes, skulls. it's got it all
	10:12am Joe McG: You guys should check out the bowling fill-in I did for Stashu on Friday. :)
	10:12am spodiodi: :-B
	👻 10:12am Webhamster Henry: Double Dip Recess did a show of Space Songs last Saturday: www.wfmu.org...
	10:12am Phillippe: we do our best, Woods
	10:12am summertime mayonnaise: loved the bowling set !
	10:13am Phillippe: Heard part of it, Joe
	10:13am spodiodi: noted well, Joe. and so i shall . sounds fun
	10:16am DJ Guin: Music for WABBITS!
	👻 10:16am YETI BOB: I love this show - you really never know what you're going to hear. Just got back from coffee shop and now we're in Scott-land
	10:16am Ike-O: LOVE powerhouse
	10:16am spodiodi: correction to ending per my sluggish memory (still may be incorrect)) caveat emptor ...when the roses die they grow diamonds in their eyes when the diamonds break it's in 1948
	10:16am βrian: I have a serious sleep hangover, and all this is very disorientitillating.
	👻 10:16am Webhamster Henry: This is an especially Orchestrated Powerhouse.
	10:17am Ike-O: i've never heard an orchestral version, this sends me baby
	👻 10:17am YETI BOB: I missed hearing Glazer and Evans, that was big for me as a kid (long before TMBG)
	10:17am Strandlund: I loved this song in my youth and I still love it today!!
	10:18am RevWaldo: Need Kraftwek to cover Powerhouse
	10:18am Ike-O: oh nice - daffy's nightmare!
	10:19am DJ Guin: The Big Snooze!! www.youtube.com...
	👻 10:19am YETI BOB: "Songs Bugs Bunny Taught Us" is such a briliant title
	10:19am Handy Haversack: Story Corner again?
	10:19am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I could be wrong about this but I'm pretty sure that bits of "Powerhouse" were used in Rush's "La Villa Strangiato"
	10:20am greg g: I was just listening to this Ira Premium the other day. Sounds great , as does the whole show Joe!! Kudos
	10:20am Elle: This is great! Totally can see all the cartoons!
	👻 10:21am Webhamster Henry: The Big Snooze is Clampett classic!
	10:21am Krys O.: The all-star tribute to Raymond Scott at the Bottom Line in 1996 ended with Powerhouse (Dennis Diken and Chris Butler among many others of note) Starts at about 20 minutes in youtu.be...
	10:21am DJ Guin: it was Clampett's last short with WB, unless I am mistooken, WebHamster
	10:21am The Oscar: Back in my record store days, I would always put on the Ink Spots to cool down after a rush or a particularly demanding customer. They always hit the spot.
	10:22am Joe McG: The WFMU Audience Has Spoken: Through sheer numbers, Ira's is the most popular CD premium we're offering this year (so far, anyway).
	10:23am The Oscar: It will never not be funny to me that this lovely pop standard originated from a horrifying Italian shockumentary.
	👻 10:23am Webhamster Henry: "More" reminds me of the the Thalia Mini-fest of Mondo Cane and Mondo Cane ripoff movies.
	👻 10:24am yerfriendpaul: Hi Joe, Hey everyone!
	10:24am Krys O.: @The Oscar: Yup, we sang that in junior high choir. Quite bizarre.
	10:24am Emily: You are very sweet.
	10:24am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	10:25am Jason from Houston: There they are. LOL
	👻 10:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Why oh why are we hearing this song? Haha!
	10:26am morphe': Webhamster Henry: Double Dip Recess did a show of Space Songs last Saturday: www.wfmu.org... Also on that double Dip Episode is an interview about 2 rocket ship drawings that two sisters did re: the Apollo moon landing did in 1969 that Roger found years ago while helping his Granda at a Church benefit thrift sale .. it was great episode ... also a Frog theme????
	10:27am The Oscar: This feels too good to be true, but I heard once that Riz Ortolani, the writer of More, was so horrified by the movie that he swore never to score another horror or genre movie. In the late '70s, an Italian director sent him a gushy fan letter begging him to score his new movie, and he reluctantly agreed. The movie turned out to be Cannibal Holocaust, one of the most notoriously gruesome films ever made. (Ortolani's score is lovely, though!)
	10:29am morphe': WebSter: Mondo Cane "...Now there's a name a I have not heard in many a year.." =Ever since Kim Video shops died...
	👻 10:29am yerfriendpaul: Hey morphe'! Yes, I thought Roger's show on Saturday was outstanding!! I think it was rockets and cats. There might have been a frog thrown in there too, ha ha
	10:30am Brian C.: Whose theme was "Beat Beat"? Was wondering where I'd heard that song before
	10:31am morphe': I thought Mondo Cane was about the Giant Texas Toads ??? Who Knew???
	10:32am RevWaldo: A treat watching WB movies on TCM and having all the songs ingrainged in my brain from Looney Tunes jumping out.
	10:32am DJ Guin: save your money and do not see Space Jam: Another Cash Grab.
	10:33am Listener Robert: YOY wasn't that long ago, but I guess it's like ancient history to you in terms of the length of time you've been there, Mr. McGasko. It's almost an eyeblink in the amount of time I've listened to WFMU.
	👻 10:33am Grandma Phyllis: @Brian C - See the comment at 10:25.
	10:34am morphe': YF Paul - I was listening with Simon(10) and said why is he playing so many frog songs. In.05 of a second Simon said: "Didn't ya hear? His pet frog died.." I asked "Really?" Simon said "NO JUST KIDDING HA HA!!!" 10 year old with father's Bklyn genes ...
	10:34am Andrew Hollywood: Breaking in my new stereo set-up in the living room with this hour of radio 📀
	10:35am Listener Robert: Darn, I should've written "earblink".
	10:35am Joe McG: @Andrew: Oh, I like to hear that!
	10:35am Andrew Hollywood: I like to hear it, too!
	10:36am DJ Guin: "One Lemon Merengue Pie!" www.youtube.com...
	10:38am Be Now B: This show is on fire. <3
	10:38am listener Rey: a little Latin yes, merenguue not so much...
	10:39am dano59: Speaking of Songs of Bugs Bunny, has FMU posted a swag update recently... It'd be cool to see the stats on top 5 or 10 but i understand if that's internal data
	10:40am Juli: Off to the library sale going to listen to FMU on the way..holy god it is going to be hot out there
	10:40am joe mulligan: @DJ Guin I love that skit!
	10:40am Joe McG: @Juli: Jealous! Love library sales!
	10:40am DJ Guin: @Juli - in the market for a new library, are ye? I think I got one on the back of my truck....
	10:41am The Oscar: TAP!
	10:41am Mike W.: How many false starts in this one, Joe?...
	👻 10:42am Marley P. Dogg: Haha Spinal Tap cover! Amazing!
	10:42am Joe McG: @Mike W: About 4, some profane.
	10:42am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @Oscar, I was just thinking of Spinal Tap, the only version I've heard before
	10:43am Ike-O: whoa
	10:44am Handy Haversack: It's happening!
	10:44am PaulRobeson1920: Nice show! Joe McG!!!!!!
	10:44am Little Danny: Hello Joe, hello all.
	10:45am Joe McG: I hope this 45 set doesn't give anybody whiplash.
	10:45am The Oscar: It's easy to take "You Spin Me Round" for granted, but god DAMN what a single.
	10:45am TerrDE: Does the singer look even remotely human at this point ?
	10:45am DJ Guin: just hemorrhoids, Joe
	10:46am Ike-O: @joe mcg it's just different dancin is all :)
	10:46am DJ Guin: @TerrDe - Lead Singer is Dead, not Alive.
	10:46am Andrew Hollywood: U can never go wrong with the hits
	10:46am DJ Guin: Peter Jozzeppi Burns (5 August 1959 – 23 October 2016) was an English musician, singer, songwriter, and television personality.
	10:46am Ike-O: oh this is a groovy set
	10:47am TerrDE: from their plastic surgery addiction ?
	10:47am Joe McG: I like this organ solo even though he nearly muffs a note.
	10:47am Rick A: Hi Joe and Everyone, Quentin Tarantino needs to leverage "Because" in his next film, perhaps one set in the early 60s.
	10:49am Asheville Jon: SNAKEFINGER!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!
	10:49am Rick from SC: Let's hear it for Snakefinger.
	10:49am Krys O.: Vive le Snakefinger <3
	10:49am Jeff in Brooklyn: Hey Joe! The random feel of the transitions is like putting on a stack of 45's. I am sure audio purists would have been appalled at the stack and the different angle of the stylus as the played stack grew
	10:49am morphe': SnakeFinger - in the Madrid kitchen but recognized .. Thanks Joe !!!!
	10:50am Joe McG: No, thank YOU, morphe'!
	10:50am Rick from SC: If I remember right, I saw him at Maxwells a couple of weeks before he died
	👻 10:50am YETI BOB: some old-skool weirdness
	10:50am Jeffrey from west Florida: Who plays Larry Norman 45’s ? Who does ? I had an MGM LP of So Long Ago the Garden. Was that a B side of I Wish We’d All Been Ready ? So what if it’s a shameless Bob Dylan knock off ... r.e.m. & billy joel Went there too. Fallen angels all. Another great show, thanks ! Keep it commingling we’ll be here doc !
	10:50am Joe McG: @Jeff: Glad it sounds like that!
	10:51am HandyJimDandy: Snakefinger played at my high school in '81 on he lawn at lunch. Crazy good.
	10:51am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Tooting's finest multi-instrumentalist
	10:53am Joe McG: Glad you're digging, Jeffrey! I'll keep commingling!
	10:53am Jett: Loving the show @JoeMcG Excellent job, have a super cool day!
	10:55am nathan: ...well this is a little different from the album version
	10:55am prudy: interesting version of TC...thanks Joe...
	10:55am ryansterlingvirtue: Great song
	10:55am Jeff in Brooklyn: This is a great show Joe!
	👻 10:56am YETI BOB: yes Wyatt!!
	10:57am Brian C.: @Grandma Phyllis(/Ken From Hyde Park?) sorry, was that your show's theme? I'm confused. What was your show called?
	10:57am miniteeny: Oh - is Elvis ok?!
	10:57am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Oh yes, the man himself, Mr Wyatt. Superior in every way to the Costello version.
	👻 10:58am YETI BOB: only 2 favorites for this song? i thought it would be a cult classic
	10:58am McGroovey: Elvis is in ttraction.
	👻 10:58am yerfriendpaul: I never heard that Town Cryer before. I love when he totally changes it up
	10:58am Joe McG: @Kevin: I agree, definitive. Although I don't begrudge the composer taking a shot, and well, Chet Baker is on it.
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Skeeter? I hardly knew her. Elvis got hit by lightning & now all his albums are being redone en Esapnol. Not a bad development I think...
	👻 10:58am Webhamster Henry: Shipbuilding is a classic.
	10:59am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: I remember at the time, 1982, almost no one was talking this way about the Falklands conflict. It was hard to be anti-war.
	10:59am Mike Sin: Shipwrecking at the shore while singing along to singles going steady. Hoping the sun makes a big breakout.
	10:59am Jett: @JoeMcG Robert Wyatt really owns "Shipbuilding" far superior to the songwriter version.
	👻 11:00am YETI BOB: That was a great Single-File, Joe - even if it did give me a little bit of decade-whiplash
	11:00am bk845: Scott, what is your bed music anyway?
	11:02am Handy Haversack: The Battlefield Band has a good song about the shipyards on the Clyde, too. "Tail o'the Bank."
	11:02am Jett: @JoeMcG I own that "Shipbuilding" single. Very nice!
	11:03am The Oscar: They're ALL epic 45s, Joe.
	11:06am Baja Joe: Hidey ho! Great set, and, no doubt, Mark Hurst is the best at what he does.
	11:06am Mark Hurst: too kind, sir
	11:07am Handy Haversack: All Joe said was correct, Mark! I'll be on the river tonight, but I will check tonight's show out in the archive. Sounds like a great one.
	11:09am weiterso: Pegasus is currently the topic, Mr. Hurst
	11:10am Joe McG: @Oscar: :) @Mark: I hope we look back and laugh, Mark!
	11:10am Mark Hurst: @Handy thanks. Jon Fasman is well worth listening to - and as Joe said, it remains to be seen whether we'll mount a real resistance to these threats.
	👻 11:11am yerfriendpaul: This sounds so good!
	11:11am winston legthigh: was just thinking about neil young. this station is awesome sauce.
	11:11am Handy Haversack: I gotta hit the streets with the local hound. Show is sounding fantastic, Joe. Thanks! Hope to be back to catch the end.
	11:11am Mark Hurst: @weiterso yes - Pegasus deserves an entire show - I may have time for a brief mention (Fasman's book brings up about a dozen surveillance topics that each could be a show, or a series of shows)
	11:12am winston legthigh: later bagpipes and handy.
	11:12am WaffleMix: Neil never gets old.
	11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neil working in 2021 pretty gawshdarn well. & other rare insights...
	11:14am dano59: Nov63: looking fwd to Spanish Model.
	11:14am McGroovey: Happy paddlin', Handy!
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Read that this BYrdS reunion was produced by Cros (?) & a bit too CSNY. Hm.
	11:14am weiterso: pegasus-link: https://forbiddenstories.org/pegasus-the-new-global-weapon-for-silencing-journalists/
	11:15am greg g: Neil Young doing Birds -> the Byrds doing Neil Young, nice one Joe
	11:15am winston legthigh: nils lofgren is in crazy horse? how do i not know these things.
	11:16am Joe McG: @greg: Maybe too cute, but I thought, what the hell.
	11:19am Jeff in Brooklyn: Joe - it's not too cute -you don't need to overthink it - it is like 'Simon Says' - we are following where you lead and loving it!
	11:19am morphe': David John Morris Purple Gold Not too Many Cliffs of Moher references in song these days ... In the Irish Tourist Brochures for overweight yanks in checked golf trousers yes... Great tune..
	11:20am Joe McG: @Jeff: That's true, the Cool Police seem to be on vacation these days.
	11:21am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: I guess this is about the Caledonian Sleeper train, which runs between Scotland and London www.sleeper.scot
	11:22am Joe McG: @Kevin: Aidan doesn't sound like he had a very cheerful ride!
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...how about - the Neil was great, the BYrdS was informative - & that's two things I wasn't hearin' otherwise...
	11:23am greg g: @ Joe & @ Jeff in B Good call & had not heard that cover before by Byrds
	11:23am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Joe, no, he's saying he has a seat and envies the people who paid for cabins with bunks
	11:24am Curious Tom: Is this new Arab Strap?
	11:24am Joe McG: @Kevin: AH, good!
	11:25am βrian: What are the endpoints that would make a sleeper make sense?
	11:25am Joe McG: @Curious Tom: Ay!
	11:26am DJ Guin: Song of the Siren always tears me up.
	11:26am JG: @Kevin, I rode the Caledonian sleeper a few years ago. It was awesome. Even had a whisky in the caboose before turning in. Loved it
	11:26am ?: good morning joe! sounding great!!
	11:26am DJ Guin: *to the Siren
	11:26am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: London at one end, then two branches in Scotland, Fort William on the west coast of the Highlands and Inverness in the central Highlands
	11:27am trouble: oops, that question mark is me...not used to having to add my name i guess
	11:27am Joe McG: Hope to ride it one day! Never been to Scotland. Hey, Trouble, thanks for listening in!
	11:27am dano59: Lovely cover of Siren... swoon
	11:28am morphe': Article: David John Morris Purple Gold https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/david-john-morris-monastic-love-songs/
	11:28am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @JG, many years ago when my parents moved from Scotland to England we took the sleeper. That would have been around 1970. Haven't been on it since, but will when I can!
	11:28am Phillippe: gorgeous set
	11:29am JG: Get yourself to Scotland Mr. McGasko. My favorite thing about it was the people. Super friendly and kind to tourists.
	11:29am Emily: You’re making me long for my fins.
	11:30am Mike W.: Faithful to Anne Briggs’s
	11:31am bk845: This reminds me of a Fairport Convention song.
	11:31am morphe': A great set - the length and breath of the Celts.... The Book SALT has a profound section(s) about the Celts as Itinerant Ancient Salt sellers based in Praha ... before one of the many Diasporas...
	11:31am bk845: Or maybe it's just Sandy Denny.
	11:31am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @JG, I'd really like to move back there, especially if independence happens. But my wife is from here and so it's probably out of the question
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah my mind says Sandy Denny should be doing this... I see online AnneBriggs & Pentangle - which is all to the good...
	11:32am Joe McG: The Pentangle does a lovely version also.
	11:33am Emily: Winsome.
	11:33am morphe': Willie O' Winsbury = reminds me of one of my writing pseudonyms: Paddy O'Table which I devised after a great Neo-Situationist/Anarchist West Coast Zine Patio Table... It was a short lived amazing zine
	11:33am weiterso: two great classics, covers.
	11:33am JG: @ Kevin we made our first, only trip to the UK and did 5 days in London and then got off the Sleeper in Fort William and rented a car. drove all around the Highlands. Trip of a lifetime
	11:35am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @JG, fantastic. After 5 days in London, no wonder you found the Scots so friendly and welcoming!
	👻 11:36am DjLorraine: Joe McG i sure enjoyed your bowling show when you sat in for Stashu. Good times.
	11:36am JG: @ Kevin, and five days in London was not enough. Had an awesome time there riding the tube. Trains Planes and automobiles!
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone posited that Parisians have such a rep for haughtiness - but how many of the truly large cities are notably warm?
	11:37am βrian: Say, who used to do the live beer tasting years ago on WFMU? Loved those.
	11:37am Joe McG: @Lorraine: Thanks! I had great fun doing that show.
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& it can take days to cross London itself I also hear...
	11:39am βrian: I recall driving out of London when I was a kid. Or rather, my father was driving. It seemed to take days.
	11:40am morphe': Caledonia: when squatting in London in the late 80s, I was the only one with a child so everyone went to the pub and I could not... When they came home (pubs closed 10-11 then)..I would go out for a long cycle from Stoke Newington to the Thames.. Found a Scot frustrated that the Tube was closed and he had to get to parish west London. I told him get up on the bike and I cycled him there... On the bike he said !@#$%^&* this is something that might happen in Glasgow but not in London!!! He took me up to his Bed-sit and played on his git: Caladonia -Yer Always on my Mind.. Amazing night ... tried to get him into a squat but no phones then and we lost contact....
	11:41am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @morphe, the Dougie MacLean song? Brings tears to my eyes every time
	11:42am Carmichael: Heya Joe and Surfactants.
	11:44am Phillippe: 'sup carmichael?
	11:44am greg g: think I have to check out Hubro records & morphe' , that was quite a story. will have to check out that Caladonia song as well. As the Aussies say: Good on ya!
	11:44am βrian: @morphe: Great story. When do pubs close now, generally? I recall getting booted in the middle of the afternoon back in the early 80s.
	11:46am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @Brian, pubs have been open all afternoon for, ooh, 30 years now. They starting closing them during World War 1 to stop munitions workers from getting steamed on their way to the shell factories
	11:47am DJ Guin: thanks for the tunes, Jozef. see ya next week or when you fill-in.
	👻 11:47am Webhamster Henry: I keep wanting to go out shopping, but the show is too good!
	11:47am Carmichael: Phillippe, this Monday, otherwise known as Recovery Day. I work my property pretty hard on the weekends.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don't Shop - listen to Enemy of Capitalism - Joe McGasko !
	11:49am Kpx: Fell a sleep earlier listening to the show, and as I was slowly waking up I heard that - let me get close to you' song. I thought that sounds like early Carol King, i was really surprised to find out it was Skeeter Davis. Never realize until now how much they sound a like. Well I've enjoyed your show this morning Joe. Suppose I'll be hearing soon again when you pop up for another fill in. L8er
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have heard about Van Dieman's prison from a fairly intense acquaintance from Belfast if you get my drift.
	11:50am Joe McG: @Kpx: Good ears, it was written by Carole King! @morphe: Lovely story!
	11:51am Phillippe: @carmichael I hear ya. We have a smallish lot but are next to a treed park. 105 bags of yard waste last year. Do you have a big property?
	11:52am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @RRN63, I thought the song was about being transported to Van Dieman's Land, which is what part of Australia used to be called, back when we shipped convicts down there. Is there a prison of the same name?
	11:52am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:52am Carmichael: 1/2 acre, Phillippe. Always something to mow, hack, hew, dig up, etc ...
	11:53am morphe': Kev/Ring/Uk: check out Matt McGinn Banned in the 1950s from the BBC for being a socialist with principles: For after the Joe Show YA CANNA' EAT A JEELY FROM THE 27th Floor about the relocation of the poor to tower blocks and the destruction of street life, culture, etc...
	11:53am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Hope you all have a great week. See you next time!
	11:53am Phillippe: sounds about right...
	11:54am radioronan: Thanks Joe!
	11:54am Phillippe: Thanks Joe! Will definitely catch the remainder of your bowling show on the archives.
	11:54am winston legthigh: thanks joe. hava a nice day everybody. 🙂
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Kevin: Appears I wasn't told much that was informative... or I didn't retain it well just as likely... People apparently were put in prison & shipped to the antipodes of course - especially Irish.
	11:55am βrian: Irene Trudel is waiting in a field of blue. (0099CC) Coming up on the hour: wfmu.org...
	11:55am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Thanks Joe, top tunes, really excellent. And thanks Morphe, Matt McGinn was born not far from my Granny in Glasgow, but his songs definitely would stand some new listening
	11:56am greg g: Thanks a lot Joe !! Wonderful set . Take care everyone
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Monday is off to a running start!
	11:56am morphe': βrian: @morphe: Great story. When do pubs close now, generally? I recall getting booted in the middle of the afternoon back in the early 80s. They closed in the 80's on Sundays so men went home to their families for the family meal... Thanks Joe and especially for the end tune.. and thanks all...
	11:58am spodiodi: thanks, Joe! great show!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY DJ JoeMcG !

	9:13am Rachel Bo Bachel: Kids and I just watched the Never-ending Story- similar musical vibe
	9:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Raining every day in New Hampshire.
	9:16am spodiodi: howdy, Handy!
	9:17am (another) Patrick in Hoboken: This smooth hypnotic Euro disco/electronica is working very well for my commute on i280.
	9:18am Emily: Love the dreamy midsommer angst
	9:19am Asheville Jon: GIORGIO! ANOTHER YES!!!!!! sweet beginning to the show today Joe!!!

	9:25am Joe McG: I like the electronic frogs on this song.
	9:25am Phillippe: good morning

	9:26am sydnius: Sorry Peter, we're going with the Korg
	9:26am Handy Haversack: Ha, nice, winston! Joe, after this New Order record, though, those frogs had to stoop to working for Budweiser just to maintain the hedonistic showbiz lifestyle they'd grown accustomed to. The Behind the Music episode on it is kind of tragic. Hey, Phillippe!
	9:28am Joe McG: @Handy: Next thing you know, Pepe's gone to the dark side.
	9:28am spodiodi: gm Phillipe!
	9:28am Juli: Abba was around in 2001 or that was just the release lol

	9:30am GeorgeSimian: Why haven't they done the doc on ABBA, like they did on The Eagles or The Go-Gos. Or maybe they did and I didn't know.
	9:31am listener Rey: Good morning everyone. Digging the energetic start to today's show.
	9:32am Phillippe: hey spodi, hey handy! A nice weekend was had by all, I trust?
	9:33am Juli: www.youtube.com...
	9:35am spodiodi: i can't complain, Phillipe. how about you? get in any fishing or boating?
	9:36am Ike-O: peace and greetings!
	9:37am GeorgeSimian: Not sure about that one, Juli. But the comments under the video are awesome.
	9:37am Juli: Lmao
	9:39am Phillippe: @spodi a little fishing, boat is sitting at the pier with locked-up steering, lord knows when/how to fix it. There's a saying around here, boats are cheap, working boats are not. I bought a cheap boat...
	9:41am Handy Haversack: Weekend ... yes, I think I recall something of the sort. It was pretty good. Kate had a great gig on Friday. We managed to accomplish some tasks and hear a friend (and WFMU listener!) spin on Sat. And then Sunday Sundayed. Hoping the weather holds and we get out on the river this afternoon.
	9:41am dano59: Glass Candy reminds me of Jarre, one of my fixations at 18
	9:42am Handy Haversack: This song is breaking my heart!
	9:45am Phillippe: sounds fun, handy! say hi to the fishes for me! Speaking of fishes, the estuary tank is going well. Had to release a few aggressive fishes into the wild. One was kind of confused and essentially stayed where I dropped it in for about 20 minutes. Also had to release the crab -- once he sloughed, he supersized and decided to hunt instead of wait for fish to get too close by. Lost three fish to him in two days.
	9:47am Editor B: It's amazing to me too Joe!
	9:48am earthwalker: Yo Joe !
	9:48am weiterso: hello to overthere from overhere, europe!
	9:49am spodiodi: Phillippe, if i lived closer, i'd offer to help figure your steering out. (love problem solving -- not that i know much about boats). it's good you still have the dock for fishing and crabbing.
	9:49am spodiodi: nice set, Joe! haven't heard Glass Candy in a while
	9:50am Juli: Yes Gardens!
	9:50am Juli: And I feel like all goals were achieved in that set by everyone involved
	9:51am earthwalker: Nice listening
	👻 9:52am karlward: I love "The Perfect Kiss"
	9:56am Mike W.: I am standing in a field... listening to Surface Noise
	9:56am Phillippe: If I still have problems, I'll fly you out, spodi! The guy who had it before me severely neglected it and I suspect there's something rusted or broken where the motor pivots. He had docked it with the motor down and then didn't operate it for a couple years. Barnacles on the prop when I got it, that kind of neglect. First world problems though, so I'm not actually complaining, just informing (that's what I tell my bride when she says I complain too much. There's truth in my avatar...)
	9:56am Mike W.: Field music
	9:57am Joe McG: Mike, you're outstanding in your field.
	9:58am mlsgrrl: Reluctantly leaving this lovely program for a meeting.... grr
	👻 9:58am karlward: Don't take the children to space! Their bones are still growing!
	9:58am Handy Haversack: You listenin', Jersey City tax assessor? You might learn something!
	9:59am listener Rey: Science!
	10:00am BillyLundun: good to hear someone is taking the education of the Yuth in the UK seriously!
	10:01am weiterso: they realy sound like french pop-music
	10:02am earthwalker: Joe you have got to be the most relaxed DJ I've ever heard So cool
	10:02am Joe McG: Going out to all the teachers!
	👻 10:02am karlward: Joe: you may have heard about that McGruff the Crime Dog song "Inhalants" that sounds like New Order: news.knowyourmeme.com...
	10:03am Handy Haversack: Whoa. I did NOT know that TMBG's version was a cover!
	10:03am Mark Hurst: Today's show has great chemistry!
	10:03am BillyLundun: @karlward wow that crime dog song is a gas!
	👻 10:03am Webhamster Henry: Space Songs (and Weather Songs) are always welcome!
	10:04am Handy Haversack: (Cover it may be, but live it is INCANDESCENT!)
	10:04am Joe McG: @MH: Ha ha!
	10:04am Krys O.: Yes! I know the TMBG version quite well.
	10:04am spodiodi: sounds good, Phillippe. the only boat's steering i've ever really touched was so old and simple that it was pretty much just ropes and pulleys (boat was prob from the 50s; this was in the 80s.) the boat would later catch fire during a water skiing outing (and what you added at the end in parentheses is so familiar that i had to lol) cheers :) TMBG taught me thisn
	10:04am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: An early fusion track...
	👻 10:04am Webhamster Henry: TMBG not only covered this, they wrote an"answer song" updating the science: The Sun is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma.
	👻 10:06am Webhamster Henry: Miss Nelson will entrance you with her hand-jive.
	10:06am Joe McG: @Kevin: Ha ha
	10:06am BillyLundun: seetar!
	10:06am BillyLundun: this is my jam!
	10:07am RevWaldo: Speaking of great videos, the video for Perfect Kiss is a classic - a live-in-studio peformance www.youtube.com... (Their faces at the end all say "well that could have gone better.")
	10:07am summertime mayonnaise: morning 🌄 all
	10:07am Mike W.: I am out, standing in a field Still
	10:07am Handy Haversack: Is this Mr. Burns after one of his treatments?
	10:07am BillyLundun: Peace and worms dude
	10:07am The Oscar: Mornin'! I had a feeling this set would be leading to Bruce and Esther.
	10:08am Ike-O: today i think i learned i was right to think the dancers in bollywood movies are actually telling a whole subtext with their gestures
	10:09am morphe': Carry over diddie from W&B stuff: All the people in France wear ??? upon their A** And the way they shake is enough to kill a snake When the snake is dead they put flowers in its head When the flowers die they [cannot remember the rest]
	10:10am Phillippe: @spodi this one is pretty simple as well, just a hydraulic piston that sits horizontal under motor, no power steering or anything. It's what you get when you buy a boat made by a company that also makes bowling balls.
	10:10am Handy Haversack: Gonna be a tough spare, Phillippe.
	10:11am spodiodi: all the girls in france do the hoochie coochie dance and they way they shake it's enough to kill a snake when they snake drops dead they grow roses in their head when the roses break (?) it's in 1948
	10:11am spodiodi: something something 7-10 split!
	10:11am Phillippe: It's a 7-10 at the moment, Handy
	10:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Boating/bowling ball dad jokes. It's the kind of content I come to WFMU for.
	10:12am Phillippe: ha, beat me to it spodi!
	10:12am spodiodi: roses/diamonds. snakes, skulls. it's got it all
	10:12am Joe McG: You guys should check out the bowling fill-in I did for Stashu on Friday. :)
	10:12am spodiodi: :-B
	👻 10:12am Webhamster Henry: Double Dip Recess did a show of Space Songs last Saturday: www.wfmu.org...
	10:12am Phillippe: we do our best, Woods
	10:12am summertime mayonnaise: loved the bowling set !
	10:13am Phillippe: Heard part of it, Joe
	10:13am spodiodi: noted well, Joe. and so i shall . sounds fun
	10:16am DJ Guin: Music for WABBITS!
	👻 10:16am YETI BOB: I love this show - you really never know what you're going to hear. Just got back from coffee shop and now we're in Scott-land
	10:16am Ike-O: LOVE powerhouse
	10:16am spodiodi: correction to ending per my sluggish memory (still may be incorrect)) caveat emptor ...when the roses die they grow diamonds in their eyes when the diamonds break it's in 1948
	10:16am βrian: I have a serious sleep hangover, and all this is very disorientitillating.
	👻 10:16am Webhamster Henry: This is an especially Orchestrated Powerhouse.
	10:17am Ike-O: i've never heard an orchestral version, this sends me baby
	👻 10:17am YETI BOB: I missed hearing Glazer and Evans, that was big for me as a kid (long before TMBG)
	10:17am Strandlund: I loved this song in my youth and I still love it today!!
	10:18am RevWaldo: Need Kraftwek to cover Powerhouse
	10:18am Ike-O: oh nice - daffy's nightmare!
	10:19am DJ Guin: The Big Snooze!! www.youtube.com...
	👻 10:19am YETI BOB: "Songs Bugs Bunny Taught Us" is such a briliant title
	10:19am Handy Haversack: Story Corner again?
	10:19am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I could be wrong about this but I'm pretty sure that bits of "Powerhouse" were used in Rush's "La Villa Strangiato"
	10:20am greg g: I was just listening to this Ira Premium the other day. Sounds great , as does the whole show Joe!! Kudos
	10:20am Elle: This is great! Totally can see all the cartoons!
	👻 10:21am Webhamster Henry: The Big Snooze is Clampett classic!
	10:21am Krys O.: The all-star tribute to Raymond Scott at the Bottom Line in 1996 ended with Powerhouse (Dennis Diken and Chris Butler among many others of note) Starts at about 20 minutes in youtu.be...
	10:21am DJ Guin: it was Clampett's last short with WB, unless I am mistooken, WebHamster
	10:21am The Oscar: Back in my record store days, I would always put on the Ink Spots to cool down after a rush or a particularly demanding customer. They always hit the spot.
	10:22am Joe McG: The WFMU Audience Has Spoken: Through sheer numbers, Ira's is the most popular CD premium we're offering this year (so far, anyway).
	10:23am The Oscar: It will never not be funny to me that this lovely pop standard originated from a horrifying Italian shockumentary.
	👻 10:23am Webhamster Henry: "More" reminds me of the the Thalia Mini-fest of Mondo Cane and Mondo Cane ripoff movies.
	👻 10:24am yerfriendpaul: Hi Joe, Hey everyone!
	10:24am Krys O.: @The Oscar: Yup, we sang that in junior high choir. Quite bizarre.
	10:24am Emily: You are very sweet.
	10:24am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	10:25am Jason from Houston: There they are. LOL
	👻 10:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Why oh why are we hearing this song? Haha!
	10:26am morphe': Webhamster Henry: Double Dip Recess did a show of Space Songs last Saturday: www.wfmu.org... Also on that double Dip Episode is an interview about 2 rocket ship drawings that two sisters did re: the Apollo moon landing did in 1969 that Roger found years ago while helping his Granda at a Church benefit thrift sale .. it was great episode ... also a Frog theme????
	10:27am The Oscar: This feels too good to be true, but I heard once that Riz Ortolani, the writer of More, was so horrified by the movie that he swore never to score another horror or genre movie. In the late '70s, an Italian director sent him a gushy fan letter begging him to score his new movie, and he reluctantly agreed. The movie turned out to be Cannibal Holocaust, one of the most notoriously gruesome films ever made. (Ortolani's score is lovely, though!)
	10:29am morphe': WebSter: Mondo Cane "...Now there's a name a I have not heard in many a year.." =Ever since Kim Video shops died...
	👻 10:29am yerfriendpaul: Hey morphe'! Yes, I thought Roger's show on Saturday was outstanding!! I think it was rockets and cats. There might have been a frog thrown in there too, ha ha
	10:30am Brian C.: Whose theme was "Beat Beat"? Was wondering where I'd heard that song before
	10:31am morphe': I thought Mondo Cane was about the Giant Texas Toads ??? Who Knew???
	10:32am RevWaldo: A treat watching WB movies on TCM and having all the songs ingrainged in my brain from Looney Tunes jumping out.
	10:32am DJ Guin: save your money and do not see Space Jam: Another Cash Grab.
	10:33am Listener Robert: YOY wasn't that long ago, but I guess it's like ancient history to you in terms of the length of time you've been there, Mr. McGasko. It's almost an eyeblink in the amount of time I've listened to WFMU.
	👻 10:33am Grandma Phyllis: @Brian C - See the comment at 10:25.
	10:34am morphe': YF Paul - I was listening with Simon(10) and said why is he playing so many frog songs. In.05 of a second Simon said: "Didn't ya hear? His pet frog died.." I asked "Really?" Simon said "NO JUST KIDDING HA HA!!!" 10 year old with father's Bklyn genes ...
	10:34am Andrew Hollywood: Breaking in my new stereo set-up in the living room with this hour of radio 📀
	10:35am Listener Robert: Darn, I should've written "earblink".
	10:35am Joe McG: @Andrew: Oh, I like to hear that!
	10:35am Andrew Hollywood: I like to hear it, too!
	10:36am DJ Guin: "One Lemon Merengue Pie!" www.youtube.com...
	10:38am Be Now B: This show is on fire. <3
	10:38am listener Rey: a little Latin yes, merenguue not so much...
	10:39am dano59: Speaking of Songs of Bugs Bunny, has FMU posted a swag update recently... It'd be cool to see the stats on top 5 or 10 but i understand if that's internal data
	10:40am Juli: Off to the library sale going to listen to FMU on the way..holy god it is going to be hot out there
	10:40am joe mulligan: @DJ Guin I love that skit!
	10:40am Joe McG: @Juli: Jealous! Love library sales!
	10:40am DJ Guin: @Juli - in the market for a new library, are ye? I think I got one on the back of my truck....
	10:41am The Oscar: TAP!
	10:41am Mike W.: How many false starts in this one, Joe?...
	👻 10:42am Marley P. Dogg: Haha Spinal Tap cover! Amazing!
	10:42am Joe McG: @Mike W: About 4, some profane.
	10:42am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @Oscar, I was just thinking of Spinal Tap, the only version I've heard before
	10:43am Ike-O: whoa
	10:44am Handy Haversack: It's happening!
	10:44am PaulRobeson1920: Nice show! Joe McG!!!!!!
	10:44am Little Danny: Hello Joe, hello all.
	10:45am Joe McG: I hope this 45 set doesn't give anybody whiplash.
	10:45am The Oscar: It's easy to take "You Spin Me Round" for granted, but god DAMN what a single.
	10:45am TerrDE: Does the singer look even remotely human at this point ?
	10:45am DJ Guin: just hemorrhoids, Joe
	10:46am Ike-O: @joe mcg it's just different dancin is all :)
	10:46am DJ Guin: @TerrDe - Lead Singer is Dead, not Alive.
	10:46am Andrew Hollywood: U can never go wrong with the hits
	10:46am DJ Guin: Peter Jozzeppi Burns (5 August 1959 – 23 October 2016) was an English musician, singer, songwriter, and television personality.
	10:46am Ike-O: oh this is a groovy set
	10:47am TerrDE: from their plastic surgery addiction ?
	10:47am Joe McG: I like this organ solo even though he nearly muffs a note.
	10:47am Rick A: Hi Joe and Everyone, Quentin Tarantino needs to leverage "Because" in his next film, perhaps one set in the early 60s.
	10:49am Asheville Jon: SNAKEFINGER!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!
	10:49am Rick from SC: Let's hear it for Snakefinger.
	10:49am Krys O.: Vive le Snakefinger <3
	10:49am Jeff in Brooklyn: Hey Joe! The random feel of the transitions is like putting on a stack of 45's. I am sure audio purists would have been appalled at the stack and the different angle of the stylus as the played stack grew
	10:49am morphe': SnakeFinger - in the Madrid kitchen but recognized .. Thanks Joe !!!!
	10:50am Joe McG: No, thank YOU, morphe'!
	10:50am Rick from SC: If I remember right, I saw him at Maxwells a couple of weeks before he died
	👻 10:50am YETI BOB: some old-skool weirdness
	10:50am Jeffrey from west Florida: Who plays Larry Norman 45’s ? Who does ? I had an MGM LP of So Long Ago the Garden. Was that a B side of I Wish We’d All Been Ready ? So what if it’s a shameless Bob Dylan knock off ... r.e.m. & billy joel Went there too. Fallen angels all. Another great show, thanks ! Keep it commingling we’ll be here doc !
	10:50am Joe McG: @Jeff: Glad it sounds like that!
	10:51am HandyJimDandy: Snakefinger played at my high school in '81 on he lawn at lunch. Crazy good.
	10:51am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Tooting's finest multi-instrumentalist
	10:53am Joe McG: Glad you're digging, Jeffrey! I'll keep commingling!
	10:53am Jett: Loving the show @JoeMcG Excellent job, have a super cool day!
	10:55am nathan: ...well this is a little different from the album version
	10:55am prudy: interesting version of TC...thanks Joe...
	10:55am ryansterlingvirtue: Great song
	10:55am Jeff in Brooklyn: This is a great show Joe!
	👻 10:56am YETI BOB: yes Wyatt!!
	10:57am Brian C.: @Grandma Phyllis(/Ken From Hyde Park?) sorry, was that your show's theme? I'm confused. What was your show called?
	10:57am miniteeny: Oh - is Elvis ok?!
	10:57am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Oh yes, the man himself, Mr Wyatt. Superior in every way to the Costello version.
	👻 10:58am YETI BOB: only 2 favorites for this song? i thought it would be a cult classic
	10:58am McGroovey: Elvis is in ttraction.
	👻 10:58am yerfriendpaul: I never heard that Town Cryer before. I love when he totally changes it up
	10:58am Joe McG: @Kevin: I agree, definitive. Although I don't begrudge the composer taking a shot, and well, Chet Baker is on it.
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Skeeter? I hardly knew her. Elvis got hit by lightning & now all his albums are being redone en Esapnol. Not a bad development I think...
	👻 10:58am Webhamster Henry: Shipbuilding is a classic.
	10:59am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: I remember at the time, 1982, almost no one was talking this way about the Falklands conflict. It was hard to be anti-war.
	10:59am Mike Sin: Shipwrecking at the shore while singing along to singles going steady. Hoping the sun makes a big breakout.
	10:59am Jett: @JoeMcG Robert Wyatt really owns "Shipbuilding" far superior to the songwriter version.
	👻 11:00am YETI BOB: That was a great Single-File, Joe - even if it did give me a little bit of decade-whiplash
	11:00am bk845: Scott, what is your bed music anyway?
	11:02am Handy Haversack: The Battlefield Band has a good song about the shipyards on the Clyde, too. "Tail o'the Bank."
	11:02am Jett: @JoeMcG I own that "Shipbuilding" single. Very nice!
	11:03am The Oscar: They're ALL epic 45s, Joe.
	11:06am Baja Joe: Hidey ho! Great set, and, no doubt, Mark Hurst is the best at what he does.
	11:06am Mark Hurst: too kind, sir
	11:07am Handy Haversack: All Joe said was correct, Mark! I'll be on the river tonight, but I will check tonight's show out in the archive. Sounds like a great one.
	11:09am weiterso: Pegasus is currently the topic, Mr. Hurst
	11:10am Joe McG: @Oscar: :) @Mark: I hope we look back and laugh, Mark!
	11:10am Mark Hurst: @Handy thanks. Jon Fasman is well worth listening to - and as Joe said, it remains to be seen whether we'll mount a real resistance to these threats.
	👻 11:11am yerfriendpaul: This sounds so good!
	11:11am winston legthigh: was just thinking about neil young. this station is awesome sauce.
	11:11am Handy Haversack: I gotta hit the streets with the local hound. Show is sounding fantastic, Joe. Thanks! Hope to be back to catch the end.
	11:11am Mark Hurst: @weiterso yes - Pegasus deserves an entire show - I may have time for a brief mention (Fasman's book brings up about a dozen surveillance topics that each could be a show, or a series of shows)
	11:12am winston legthigh: later bagpipes and handy.
	11:12am WaffleMix: Neil never gets old.
	11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neil working in 2021 pretty gawshdarn well. & other rare insights...
	11:14am dano59: Nov63: looking fwd to Spanish Model.
	11:14am McGroovey: Happy paddlin', Handy!
	11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Read that this BYrdS reunion was produced by Cros (?) & a bit too CSNY. Hm.
	11:14am weiterso: pegasus-link: https://forbiddenstories.org/pegasus-the-new-global-weapon-for-silencing-journalists/
	11:15am greg g: Neil Young doing Birds -> the Byrds doing Neil Young, nice one Joe
	11:15am winston legthigh: nils lofgren is in crazy horse? how do i not know these things.
	11:16am Joe McG: @greg: Maybe too cute, but I thought, what the hell.
	11:19am Jeff in Brooklyn: Joe - it's not too cute -you don't need to overthink it - it is like 'Simon Says' - we are following where you lead and loving it!
	11:19am morphe': David John Morris Purple Gold Not too Many Cliffs of Moher references in song these days ... In the Irish Tourist Brochures for overweight yanks in checked golf trousers yes... Great tune..
	11:20am Joe McG: @Jeff: That's true, the Cool Police seem to be on vacation these days.
	11:21am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: I guess this is about the Caledonian Sleeper train, which runs between Scotland and London www.sleeper.scot
	11:22am Joe McG: @Kevin: Aidan doesn't sound like he had a very cheerful ride!
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...how about - the Neil was great, the BYrdS was informative - & that's two things I wasn't hearin' otherwise...
	11:23am greg g: @ Joe & @ Jeff in B Good call & had not heard that cover before by Byrds
	11:23am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Joe, no, he's saying he has a seat and envies the people who paid for cabins with bunks
	11:24am Curious Tom: Is this new Arab Strap?
	11:24am Joe McG: @Kevin: AH, good!
	11:25am βrian: What are the endpoints that would make a sleeper make sense?
	11:25am Joe McG: @Curious Tom: Ay!
	11:26am DJ Guin: Song of the Siren always tears me up.
	11:26am JG: @Kevin, I rode the Caledonian sleeper a few years ago. It was awesome. Even had a whisky in the caboose before turning in. Loved it
	11:26am ?: good morning joe! sounding great!!
	11:26am DJ Guin: *to the Siren
	11:26am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: London at one end, then two branches in Scotland, Fort William on the west coast of the Highlands and Inverness in the central Highlands
	11:27am trouble: oops, that question mark is me...not used to having to add my name i guess
	11:27am Joe McG: Hope to ride it one day! Never been to Scotland. Hey, Trouble, thanks for listening in!
	11:27am dano59: Lovely cover of Siren... swoon
	11:28am morphe': Article: David John Morris Purple Gold https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/david-john-morris-monastic-love-songs/
	11:28am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @JG, many years ago when my parents moved from Scotland to England we took the sleeper. That would have been around 1970. Haven't been on it since, but will when I can!
	11:28am Phillippe: gorgeous set
	11:29am JG: Get yourself to Scotland Mr. McGasko. My favorite thing about it was the people. Super friendly and kind to tourists.
	11:29am Emily: You’re making me long for my fins.
	11:30am Mike W.: Faithful to Anne Briggs’s
	11:31am bk845: This reminds me of a Fairport Convention song.
	11:31am morphe': A great set - the length and breath of the Celts.... The Book SALT has a profound section(s) about the Celts as Itinerant Ancient Salt sellers based in Praha ... before one of the many Diasporas...
	11:31am bk845: Or maybe it's just Sandy Denny.
	11:31am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @JG, I'd really like to move back there, especially if independence happens. But my wife is from here and so it's probably out of the question
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah my mind says Sandy Denny should be doing this... I see online AnneBriggs & Pentangle - which is all to the good...
	11:32am Joe McG: The Pentangle does a lovely version also.
	11:33am Emily: Winsome.
	11:33am morphe': Willie O' Winsbury = reminds me of one of my writing pseudonyms: Paddy O'Table which I devised after a great Neo-Situationist/Anarchist West Coast Zine Patio Table... It was a short lived amazing zine
	11:33am weiterso: two great classics, covers.
	11:33am JG: @ Kevin we made our first, only trip to the UK and did 5 days in London and then got off the Sleeper in Fort William and rented a car. drove all around the Highlands. Trip of a lifetime
	11:35am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @JG, fantastic. After 5 days in London, no wonder you found the Scots so friendly and welcoming!
	👻 11:36am DjLorraine: Joe McG i sure enjoyed your bowling show when you sat in for Stashu. Good times.
	11:36am JG: @ Kevin, and five days in London was not enough. Had an awesome time there riding the tube. Trains Planes and automobiles!
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone posited that Parisians have such a rep for haughtiness - but how many of the truly large cities are notably warm?
	11:37am βrian: Say, who used to do the live beer tasting years ago on WFMU? Loved those.
	11:37am Joe McG: @Lorraine: Thanks! I had great fun doing that show.
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& it can take days to cross London itself I also hear...
	11:39am βrian: I recall driving out of London when I was a kid. Or rather, my father was driving. It seemed to take days.
	11:40am morphe': Caledonia: when squatting in London in the late 80s, I was the only one with a child so everyone went to the pub and I could not... When they came home (pubs closed 10-11 then)..I would go out for a long cycle from Stoke Newington to the Thames.. Found a Scot frustrated that the Tube was closed and he had to get to parish west London. I told him get up on the bike and I cycled him there... On the bike he said !@#$%^&* this is something that might happen in Glasgow but not in London!!! He took me up to his Bed-sit and played on his git: Caladonia -Yer Always on my Mind.. Amazing night ... tried to get him into a squat but no phones then and we lost contact....
	11:41am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @morphe, the Dougie MacLean song? Brings tears to my eyes every time
	11:42am Carmichael: Heya Joe and Surfactants.
	11:44am Phillippe: 'sup carmichael?
	11:44am greg g: think I have to check out Hubro records & morphe' , that was quite a story. will have to check out that Caladonia song as well. As the Aussies say: Good on ya!
	11:44am βrian: @morphe: Great story. When do pubs close now, generally? I recall getting booted in the middle of the afternoon back in the early 80s.
	11:46am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @Brian, pubs have been open all afternoon for, ooh, 30 years now. They starting closing them during World War 1 to stop munitions workers from getting steamed on their way to the shell factories
	11:47am DJ Guin: thanks for the tunes, Jozef. see ya next week or when you fill-in.
	👻 11:47am Webhamster Henry: I keep wanting to go out shopping, but the show is too good!
	11:47am Carmichael: Phillippe, this Monday, otherwise known as Recovery Day. I work my property pretty hard on the weekends.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don't Shop - listen to Enemy of Capitalism - Joe McGasko !
	11:49am Kpx: Fell a sleep earlier listening to the show, and as I was slowly waking up I heard that - let me get close to you' song. I thought that sounds like early Carol King, i was really surprised to find out it was Skeeter Davis. Never realize until now how much they sound a like. Well I've enjoyed your show this morning Joe. Suppose I'll be hearing soon again when you pop up for another fill in. L8er
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have heard about Van Dieman's prison from a fairly intense acquaintance from Belfast if you get my drift.
	11:50am Joe McG: @Kpx: Good ears, it was written by Carole King! @morphe: Lovely story!
	11:51am Phillippe: @carmichael I hear ya. We have a smallish lot but are next to a treed park. 105 bags of yard waste last year. Do you have a big property?
	11:52am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @RRN63, I thought the song was about being transported to Van Dieman's Land, which is what part of Australia used to be called, back when we shipped convicts down there. Is there a prison of the same name?
	11:52am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:52am Carmichael: 1/2 acre, Phillippe. Always something to mow, hack, hew, dig up, etc ...
	11:53am morphe': Kev/Ring/Uk: check out Matt McGinn Banned in the 1950s from the BBC for being a socialist with principles: For after the Joe Show YA CANNA' EAT A JEELY FROM THE 27th Floor about the relocation of the poor to tower blocks and the destruction of street life, culture, etc...
	11:53am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Hope you all have a great week. See you next time!
	11:53am Phillippe: sounds about right...
	11:54am radioronan: Thanks Joe!
	11:54am Phillippe: Thanks Joe! Will definitely catch the remainder of your bowling show on the archives.
	11:54am winston legthigh: thanks joe. hava a nice day everybody. 🙂
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Kevin: Appears I wasn't told much that was informative... or I didn't retain it well just as likely... People apparently were put in prison & shipped to the antipodes of course - especially Irish.
	11:55am βrian: Irene Trudel is waiting in a field of blue. (0099CC) Coming up on the hour: wfmu.org...
	11:55am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Thanks Joe, top tunes, really excellent. And thanks Morphe, Matt McGinn was born not far from my Granny in Glasgow, but his songs definitely would stand some new listening
	11:56am greg g: Thanks a lot Joe !! Wonderful set . Take care everyone
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Monday is off to a running start!
	11:56am morphe': βrian: @morphe: Great story. When do pubs close now, generally? I recall getting booted in the middle of the afternoon back in the early 80s. They closed in the 80's on Sundays so men went home to their families for the family meal... Thanks Joe and especially for the end tune.. and thanks all...
	11:58am spodiodi: thanks, Joe! great show!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY DJ JoeMcG !
