	9:11am MiraB: Good morning! Love this. Always wondered what that song was on double dip recess. Thank you for such a fun set Joe!
	9:12am Gerry from Miami: @Hughie Considine. HUT SUT RALSTON ON THE RILLA RA, WITH A BRALLA BRALLA SUET!
	9:12am Tara: It's double dip recess!!! Where's Roger?
	9:13am Q: Whatta show for today! Thx Joe! This is perfect mojo.
	9:13am Joe McG: Good morning, everyone! Believe it or not, "The Happy Whistler" was my theme song for a couple of years back in the day before the Yips came along.
	9:15am Handy Haversack: It was Monday morning when I got up to feed the monsters and Saturday morning by the time I got to the kitchen!
	9:15am HyperDose: Well the happy whistling couldn't have represented two better guys, I say!
	9:15am alan the painter: ...smile returning to my lips, waking , fog clearing , caught the tail o'thee Pigeon... nOw laughing 4 coFFee...
	9:16am love2laf: ↳ Joe McG @9:13 Clearly the perfect piece of music for WFMU DJs! Loving this Monday morning whistling kick off.
	9:17am ?: re-enlistment blues!
	9:18am Mike W.: All this and no Fred Lowery yet!
	9:18am Joe McG: I hope most of you are whistling without the work part.
	9:19am whistler's mother: if only...
	9:19am Dano59: ... is this going to end up overlooking the 'Frisco' Bay?
	👻 9:19am Yetz: ↳ Joe McG @9:18 today was one of those "surprise" days off for me
	9:20am gauche knee: Morning Joe & all! Loving the whistling songs, a fav since childhood…still can’t whistle tho,lol.
	9:20am Dano59: with 'The Happy Whistler' on the speaker before i entered the chat, for a moment i thought Roger was filling in.
	9:20am Edgar from Maine: They're not just making me work on Presidents Day but also on Family Day. It's doubly unfair.
	👻 9:20am LastWhiteRhino: As Lauren Becall once said, "You just put your lips together and blow."
	9:21am TDK60: Good morning, Joe.
	9:21am Dano59: ↳ Joe McG @9:13 well that explains it. Always the original.
	9:22am Andres: Good morning. Statutory holiday in this here part of Canada. Family Day. We’re using it to sleep in.
	9:22am Pax: Is this whistling getting a reaction from anyone's dog ?
	9:22am Dano59: and now I'm wondering if George W. whistled after saying "that was some weird shit" on 1/20/17.
	9:23am The Butterman: ↳ Pax @9:22 Yep! And I don’t even have a dog.
	👻 9:23am LastWhiteRhino: A shout out to all the mother's of all these whistlers !
	👻 9:24am Hughie Considine: ↳ Gerry from Miami @9:12 That's the one! There's no whistling in it, but this stuff just put me in mind of it.
	9:24am Dano59: let's hope the dogs are paying attention
	9:24am Joe McG: What's worse: Listening to someone practicing whistling or someone learning the clarinet?
	9:25am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Joe McG @9:24 Clarinet by a long shot. Oh those squeaks!
	9:26am whistler's mother: I'm changing my name to TOOTS
	9:26am Pax: ↳ The Butterman @9:23 😅lol !
	9:26am billylondon: Wow love this whistle set!
	9:26am Joe McG: ↳ whistler's mother @9:26 Good move!
	9:27am whistler's mother: ↳ Joe McG @9:26 toots suite!
	9:27am MayJillar: I had a boss who always whistled when he went to the bathroom. So if there was whistling you always knew who was in the stall. In retrospect it was probably him self consciously announcing his presence while maybe tying to hide other noises.
	9:27am whistler's mother: thanks for this set, joe, it's helping me survive the morning
	9:27am Handy Haversack: My dad would tell me he used to win whistling contests when he was a kid. He grew up during the Depression, so I guess that was a thing?
	9:28am whistler's mother: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:27 whistling is free
	9:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ whistler's mother @9:28 I'm sure Zuck and Musk are looking for a way to monetize it.
	👻 9:30am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Happy Feet" by "Quincy Jones" Burt may be gone, but we still have Quincy.
	9:30am Edgar from Maine: I have a musician friend who's an artful whistler. His day job is painting houses and his boss (also a musician) strictly forbids whistling.
	9:30am Joe McG: ↳ MayJillar @9:27 There's a guy in my apartment building who does that every time he comes in the building, like he's announcing himself.
	9:31am Andres: Holding steady for Jiminy Cricket.
	👻 9:31am Webhamster Henry: Mrs. Elva Miller's whistling secret is sucking on ice cubes.
	9:31am Edgar from Maine: In Mexico back in the 1970s the street vendors would whistle their specific jingles when they came by so you could get your knives sharpened, hand off old newspapers and get hot tamales.
	9:32am Triple G in NYC: As good of a time as any to admit to quasi-strangers ... I'm a mediocre whistler
	9:32am TDK60: Joe, can we get some baritone barbershop singer after this? My ears are ringing.
	9:32am Rich from Wading River: My dog enjoyed that whistling set
	9:33am GeorgeSimian: What? No Jealous Guy?
	👻 9:33am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Joe McG and all!!! solid first set
	👻 9:33am LastWhiteRhino: What is the best liquid to whet one's whistle ???
	9:34am pmcWhenever: whistling in the face of monday is a sound strategy.
	9:34am Pax: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:27 So did mine, and they didn't take anything for granted. In fact when anything came there way, they kept it whether they had use for it or not. Let me tell you that crap piled up over the year's.
	9:36am Edgar from Maine: My wife turns off the radio when she hears xylophones and/or autotune.
	9:37am TDK60: I really dislike the triangle. (Unless it's classical music.)
	👻 9:37am Hughie Considine: Whistling well, however, takes some skill. I've never gotten the hang of it. Very limited range. Any tips?
	9:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☽Monday FMUvianz ~
	9:37am GeorgeSimian: My wife turns off the radio when she hears WFMU!
	9:37am Hi from Holland: Aloha! As Glenn Miller said, you' ve just got to be "In The Mood"
	9:38am whistler's mother: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:29 & chatGPT it :(
	9:38am Toothgrinder Tom: I wish clarinets were more popular in the culture at large.
	9:38am Toothgrinder Tom: But I’ll take a soprano saxophone.
	9:39am alan the painter: piccolo or violin chasing the orchestra around, eAratating/irritating...
	9:39am Toothgrinder Tom: They were husband and wife (Toots and Ellis Regina).
	9:39am Ogle: hot take- harmonica IS a whistle
	9:40am iiibeat: Encountered a whistler in the grocery last evening. What else could I do but whistle too!
	9:40am Edgar from Maine: ↳ GeorgeSimian @9:37 Ha!
	9:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As similar as Clarinet & Sax are - I find the 'squeak potential' of Clarinet notably greater. (Harder to play.) Sax was distinct in having a Reed but being made of Brass like a Horn. All of which is off-topic...
	👻 9:41am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:37 can you whistle on the inhale as well as the exhale? I feel like some of the notes are easier to do on the inhale.
	9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Ogle @9:39 Don't think so. Harmonica is a lot of Reeds... If considering one's lips & face a reed - maybe.
	9:43am Roberto: Unsolicited public whistling pisses me off. Both the musical kind and the harassment kind.
	9:43am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:40 Yeah clarinet's more squeak prone due to the open holes, I think. So unforgiving. Not the case with sax, those squeaks tend to happen due to clamping down on the reed too hard.
	9:43am HyperDose: When I whistle on the inhale it sounds like a siren
	9:44am ?: Some blonde once said "just put your lips together & blow' Joe ;)
	👻 9:44am DjLorraine: Lovely first set Joe!
	👻 9:44am Brian in UK: Joe, so no Ronnie Ronalde, the yodelling whistler. www.ronnieronalde.com
	9:45am Barefoot Jimmy G: Thanks for "Trap Door"!
	9:45am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @9:44 I played him on my recent fill-in for Stashu, though! :)
	9:46am TDK60: I'm not very sure but I think the Lovin' Spoonful patterned their title of an instrumental on their "Daydream" after "The Big Noise from Winnetka." It's called "Big Noise From Speonk" and is a groovy rock instrumental. I'd do more serious research but I have to do the dishes.
	9:46am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @9:46 "Daydream" album.
	9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Now - a flute is like a whistle in that it's just air passing over an aperture - & from your lips @ that ...okay I suppose every instrument involving air could be a whistle - up to massive pipe organs...
	9:47am Mister Dobalina: Cool track, Joe...
	9:47am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @9:43 Not that I've ever been on the receiving end of the harassment kind :/
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @9:41 Certainly easier on exhale. We have a new pup & she does respond well to the whistle. Never use fingers to assist. (whistling that is)
	👻 9:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Trap Door" by "T Bone Burnett" I remember seeking out the solo T-Bone stuff in the '90s and gradually amassing them all. Now I see them in the Budget bins all the time and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
	👻 9:47am DjLorraine: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:36 Sometimes the xylophone is subtle
	9:48am Handy Haversack: I wonder if there are (or were) spoken languages that incorporate whistling as a meaning-bearing sound.
	9:48am GeorgeSimian: Didn't Timbuk 3 have a big hit? That song was good!
	9:49am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Facts About Cats" by "Timbuk 3" Fact: I like cats
	9:49am HyperDose: ↳ Brian in UK @9:47 I could never nail the finger whistle. It's certainly louder that way
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...of course - all Music is air. Okay. Everything is just a whistle.
	9:49am Edgar from Maine: Oh jeez ... these Austin people.
	9:49am Baja Joe: Good morning Joe M.
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:48 Only with dodgy false teeth, I would imagine.
	9:50am TDK60: Revrab- IDEA! Let's hold the first ever Annual Air-Whistle Contest. Sorry. Time to do the dishes....
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: ↳ Joe McG @9:45 Joe, will check it out.
	9:51am Stanley Crook, Durham, U.K.: Sop making me think it’s Saturday.
	9:51am Dano59: My old drummer was a huge Timbuk 3 fan; and brought Pat McDonald to the area for a show. My mom was also the only Roger Whittaker fan I ever knew.
	👻 9:51am Hughie Considine: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @9:41 I never tried it on the inhale! Gonna give it a shot. What do I have to lose?
	9:51am Stanley Crook, Durham, U.K.: Stop*
	9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ HyperDose @9:49 Wish I knew how to do the loud fingers in face whistle. Maybe there's YouTubes...
	👻 9:52am yerfriendpaul: ↳ HyperDose @9:49 Same here! Not big on my wishlist but it wouldn’t mind doing it just once
	9:53am Pax: Ya ever hear a individual that can whistle so loud that it temporarily deafens you.
	9:53am Roberto: ↳ Song: "All Men Are Liars" by "Nick Lowe" Proto-RickRolling.
	9:55am Handy Haversack: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:52 Same. Apparently whistling ability is not strongly genetic!
	9:55am Baja Joe: ↳ Song: "All Men Are Liars" by "Nick Lowe" So true, or am I lying
	👻 9:55am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All Men Are Liars" by "Nick Lowe" Cool version!
	9:55am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Roberto @9:53 Truth! I love Nick Lowe.
	👻 9:56am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:51 I can't do it, but my sister can do that whistle very loudly.
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Kirsty!
	👻 9:57am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All Men Are Liars" by "Nick Lowe" Lowe did a cool remake of Cruel to be Kind with Wilco backing him up.
	9:57am Dano59: ↳ Song: "There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He'... I usually play the country version but this is pub-rock greatness!
	👻 9:58am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies!
	9:58am Dano59: ↳ doctorjazz @9:57 yep, not long after Wilco covered 'I Love My Label'[ to launch their own label; and went on tour with Nick.
	9:58am Roberto: My dad used to be able to summon a cab anywhere, anytime with two fingers under the tongue. He was raised in Brooklyn in the '30s/'40s.
	10:00am Pax: If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'. If those words could actually kill practically all the earths population would be dead.
	10:00am Baja Joe: ↳ Song: "Op" by "Svaneborg Kardyb" My doggie perked up when this tune started.
	10:01am Joe McG: ↳ Baja Joe @10:00 I like when dogs like the tunes!
	10:01am Brendan: Hi Joe and fellow listeners, sorry I missed Nick Lowe, but I caught the tail end of that Elvis thing. That was a hoot.
	10:02am On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog: ↳ Song: "Op" by "Svaneborg Kardyb" Liking this change of pace as well
	10:03am Mark Hurst: Hi Joe, hi all!
	10:04am Brendan: Now that is a KardyB I can get behind!
	10:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @9:58 Under the tongue ? Hm. I don't get it... How hard can it be...
	10:05am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha! @Mark: Hi, Mark!
	10:06am Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:04 Well, two fingers under the tongue and an exhalation.
	10:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...always wanted to whistle Harmonies with somebody - like the AndyGriffith theme. The human race, however, is too jaded for this.
	10:07am Son Of Pantz: Beautiful little song. Haunting...
	10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @10:06 ...maybe then the fingers taking the place of the lower lip in 'normal' whistling - creating a small but more stable aperture...
	10:10am Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:08 yes
	👻 10:10am Brian in UK: Never blown bubbles with bubble gum & never wanted to for that matter. There I have written it.
	10:11am Phillippe: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:08 I never learned how to whistle. Tried like hell many times, just a skill that evades me. Probably one of those natural selection things, because I'm tone deaf and someone would've killed me for constantly whistling off key.
	10:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ Mark Hurst @10:03 Hey hey, Mark Hurst!
	10:12am Pax: With or without fingers, I can't whistle worth a damn.
	10:12am morphe': Great book for kids of all ages - especially young ones yearning to whistle: Whistling for Willie by Jack Ezra Keats
	10:12am HyperDose: ↳ Roberto @9:58 Those cab hailing whistles are something else. Near deafening experience if you're standing next to it
	10:13am Roberto: ↳ HyperDose @10:12 Tell me about it.
	👻 10:13am Webhamster Henry: I'm a tooth whistler, but I can also do lip whistling #versitile
	10:15am Brendan: Re: whistling... if you get a friend that can also do the two finger whistle fairly loud and you both do it, whilst altering the pitch, you'll find really cool frequencies where the two tones will create harmonic overtones that sound like an old radio tuning between frequencies or a theremin going crazy. Easier demonstrated than explained and a moment of sonic serendipity when you discover the phenomenon
	10:16am Phillippe: ↳ Brendan @10:15 That would be cool, but I can envision a scenario in which wine glasses and oriel windows are shattered
	10:17am Pax: This is what i need to hear, something calm and soothing.
	👻 10:17am doctorjazz: I know how to whistle, I just pucker up my lips and blow...
	10:18am morphe': in the bad old/good old East Village 80s-early90s, before they got walkie talkies, the drug dealing family on mid 7th street(C-B) had a whistle system --- an inhaling whistle from the corner meant stop and scurry inside the building(cops/danger) .. the standard exhale whistle(fingers or no??) meant all clear ...
	10:19am Phillippe: ↳ morphe' @10:18 Can you imagine being locked out of a life of crime because you can't whistle?
	10:20am Son Of Pantz: I learned how to whistle by reading the Greek street busker known as Myas. His series begins with "Myas Whistles" with explosive force, but tends to peter out near the end.
	10:22am Andres: Two finger whistle more prominent wherever futbol is played.
	10:23am morphe': Junior... of 7th Street... https://nypost.com/2007/08/06/drug-dealers-new-bag/
	👻 10:23am chresti: I can't do the finger whistle after loosing a bottom tooth.
	👻 10:24am tim from washington: Hi Joe! Hi everybody! I haven't been able to Noise up my Surface in a while. I'm stoked to be here!
	10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♓︎Pisces, Year of Fire 🐏Sheep ~ Goat ~ Ram Kurt Donald Cobain February 20, 1967, Aberdeen, Washington, U.S. - April 5, 1994, Seattle, Washington, U.S.
	10:24am Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Amazonian Tribes Mimicking the Sound of Chainsaws... Niiiiice...
	10:25am Brendan: You can also do a thing where you cup your hands and you can make this really cool sound just like a recorder. By the way you can clasp the two hands together, or interlock the fingers. In either case, you create a sound cavity. Give it a try sometimes. It's really cool to walk in the forest in the evening and create a dialogue with owls in the distance. (aftershow purposes only : https://youtu.be/A9wnb7GizrA )
	10:27am Pax: ↳ chresti @10:23 Is that the tooth of the matter.
	10:27am Listening Out There: Being non-noisy here...
	10:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Really I can just get up & grab a flute or get gittar feedback...
	👻 10:28am chresti: ↳ Pax @10:27 Yes-the tooth of the whistle matter.
	10:28am bobobob plasticland Milwaukee: timbuk 3 was a band Pat McDonald and Barbara from Wisconsin..named by both of our good friend Jim Spencer RIP.
	10:29am Brendan: @doctorjazz, one of Lauren's (Slim's) great lines.
	👻 10:29am Hughie Considine: ↳ morphe' @10:18 That's some next-level whistling. I lived on 3rd between B&C in the mid-80s. Good times!
	10:30am ranjit: Reading the messages here inspired me to whistle a little, and my dog woke up to come over and ask me what the heck I was doing
	10:31am Brendan: Or just book Marshall Tucker
	👻 10:31am Webhamster Henry: When our cat was an outdoor cat, we would whistle for him with his special whistle tune and he would come running from a distance!
	10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:31 <3
	👻 10:33am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:31 He's still alive at the age of 21 or 22.
	10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:33 - !
	10:35am PaulRobeson1923: Common Everybody!! Good morningggg
	10:37am Tom in St. Paul: ever seen that SCTV sketch about picking up a hitchhiking Howard Hughes? I always think of that when I hear this song.
	10:37am Kat in Chicago: Let’s do Chuck!
	10:37am Jason from Houston: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:37 LOL
	10:38am iiibeat: They didn't do Chuck!!! So sad.
	10:40am Brendan: Joe, it's your show/thing do what you wanna do.
	10:40am Roberto: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:33 ❤️
	👻 10:40am doctorjazz: ↳ Brendan @10:29 👍
	👻 10:42am DjLorraine: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:31 I had 2 different cats that you take to a park or woods and they would come back when they were called to return to the car.
	10:43am Miles Dougal: oops
	👻 10:43am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Everything Works If You Let It" by "Cheap Trick" Sounded like Everything didn't work...
	10:44am Joe McG: ↳ doctorjazz @10:43 BOTH sides start scratchy!
	👻 10:44am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Everything Works If You Let It" by "Cheap Trick" That's some heavy riffage!
	10:45am Miles Dougal: ah ...45 attached to the 10" cheap trick "nudisk"
	👻 10:45am James in ATL: Woohoo! Cheap Trick! Good morning, Joe.
	10:46am Brendan: That's the spirit
	10:46am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Joe McG @10:44 Joe, curious as to how many 45s you own?
	10:46am love2laf: ↳ Joe McG @10:44 Again I say, life is scratchy :)
	10:47am Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Everything Works If You Let It" by "Cheap Trick" & from the soundtrack to "Roadie " great flick
	10:48am Joe McG: ↳ Chris Hiatt @10:46 Haven't counted lately, but somewhere between 5000 and 6000. Nothin' compared to some of the other DJs here!
	10:48am Brendan: Kooky/ nutty good
	10:49am JG: Sinatra's voice here sounds like his 40s voice. Surprised to see 1960.
	10:49am Creature Boy: Just bought a fairly tall stack of 45s myself
	10:49am love2laf: ↳ Joe McG @10:48 My vinyl collecting hubby has been saying 10,000 LPs for over 2 decades, and yet I've seen him buy a thousand LPs at one sale, and the collection number never goes up. Are all vinyl hounds the same at undercounting?
	👻 10:50am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "River, Stay 'Way from My Door" by "Frank Sinatra" Unpopular opinion here... I think Frank's greatest contribution to music was Nancy. Dissenting opinions are welcome! ;)
	10:50am Joe McG: ↳ love2laf @10:49 Probably! We're embarrassed. :)
	👻 10:52am tim from washington: ↳ love2laf @10:49 love2laf - maybe record collectors can't count higher than 10,000. My counting skills end at around 28 but that might be my own issue. ;)
	10:53am JG: Ricky Neson was way underrated. Really suffered from the Elvis derivative p.o.v. He was so good
	10:53am Chris Hiatt: ↳ tim from washington @10:52 That's where my counting skills end too. That means I have 28 vinyl records!
	10:55am Handy Haversack: Pretty sure "28" is how you write "10,000" in roman numerals.
	10:55am love2laf: ↳ Chris Hiatt @10:53 Is this going to be a WFMU shirt now, I've got 28 vinyl records"
	👻 10:56am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" by "Grace J... Didn't know this version, but this song has certainly attracted a baroque set of cover versions; I'm thinking of Jerry Garcia and Anna Domino.
	10:56am Chris Hiatt: ↳ love2laf @10:55 Yeah, with a graphic of a huge wall of records.
	👻 10:56am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" by "Grace J... Yes!
	👻 10:56am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" by "Grace J... Cool version!
	10:56am Joe McG: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:56 Such an interesting song to begin with!
	👻 10:57am doctorjazz: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:56 I know Jerry's, it's really good!
	10:57am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:55 That math checks out.
	👻 10:58am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @10:56 It really is!
	👻 10:58am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:55 Handy - my fact checking cuz!
	10:58am Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" by "Grace J... Blondie does it too , can't remember if I like theirs or not. I'll have to ask myself when u get a chance
	10:59am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Does anyone have an “exit strategy” for their collection?like at least selling the rare high dollar items?
	👻 10:59am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Superstition" by "Stevie Wonder" As a kid, I found "Superstition" kinda frightening. Same with "Do It Again" by Steely Dan. Dark minor chords and ominous lyrics I guess.
	11:00am HyperDose: Legendary single file this morning, Mr. Joe!
	11:00am Creature Boy: ↳ Creature Boy @10:58 When i* get a chance!
	11:00am Joe Mulligan 🦀: What keeps me up at night (literally sometimes) is my collection gets sold for cheap after I’m gone
	11:01am morphe': ↳ love2laf @10:49 All dealers undercount if possible ...in all trades ...
	11:01am Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @10:59 Grappling with this with my gaming collection right now. I think I might just make a new catalogue and tell one of the major resellers to just make me an offer and send me the shipping labels. We're at absolute critical mass in this four-room railroad apt.
	11:02am Joe Mulligan 🦀: What kind of games Handy?
	👻 11:02am tim from washington: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @10:59 Joe - when I kick the bucket, my family can keep what they want and/or sell the rest. That'll prevent all you vultures from circling around when I'm on my last leg.
	11:02am Baja Joe: Snap, crackle, pop
	👻 11:03am tim from washington: That was a great Single File, Joe!
	11:03am Jack: ↳ JG @10:53 Ricky Nelson was the reason I begged my mother for guitar lessons, and one of the reasons why I play to this day.
	11:03am morphe': Dealers and Grifters .. for years I worked the 6am Saturday In-Loading Security shift for the FMU record fairs .. my job was to watch/prevent the dealers from stealing from each other..
	11:04am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Dibs on any early Negativland you have Tim!
	11:04am Creature Boy: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:00 Tryin to decide whether to leave mine to a library or somethin. I even imagined trying to donate it to FMU& THEN I wondered they might sell some of it for cheap at a record fair dollar table
	11:04am Asheville Jon: SW doing Superstition live on Sesame Street is pretty fantastic
	11:05am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @10:59 Mine is playing vinyl records at dinner every night and getting the 10 year hooked, so she never wants to get rid of them. It's more like a Hail Mary than a strategy, and it could completely backfire.
	👻 11:05am tim from washington: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:04 You damn vultures! Stay away from my records!
	11:06am Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:02 D&D-style table-top role-playing games. Not quite as high-value as records, though a few things are worth something nice these days. About 20 lateral feet of shelf space. I'd like to get that down to 4. And make room for more records ... So, meet up at Tim's place later, right? Midnight raid!
	11:06am JG: Anybody have a basic explanation of what the difference between Tamla and Motown is/was? I know Tamla came first, but why some things released as Tamla and other Motown? How did that work?
	👻 11:07am tim from washington: ↳ JG @11:06 Good question, JG. I'd like to know that too.
	11:08am Son Of Pantz: "Roadie" used to run around the clock on Showtime back in the day.
	11:09am Dano59: Haha - 'Roadie' had a premiere nearby at the tiny Heights Theatre. Not sure what the local connection was; it sure wasn't Mr. Loaf.
	11:10am Creature Boy: @joe a lot of those promo 45s DO have a lousy mono side surprisingly. I DID sorta know that about Lorrie & wuz just thinking bout that . There's a pic of her w Larry ,th parents & the manager dude on the back cover of one of the LPs &wuz just lookin at THAt
	👻 11:10am doctorjazz: The last time I tried to count LPs was 1993-had about 4,000; it's likely doubled or more since then (not to mention a few thousand CD's, a few TB digital music). Daughters don't have any interest (they are music lovers, but strictly Spotify, and are afraid to touch the turntable or stereo, which isn't completely a bad thing...).
	11:10am Hubig Pie: Happy Lunedi grasso you people
	11:11am Dano59: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @10:59 I'm thinking about it; a library to donate the bulk of it to after giving my son first dibs.
	11:11am Chris Hiatt: ↳ tim from washington @11:07 A quick check on the internet indicates Tamla was the first name of the label, and then it was incorporated at Motown a couple years later. Also looks like the label was known as Tamla Motown overseas.
	11:12am Fred And Alan: Great Show. This is Fred and Alan from Pseus Thing With A Hook. and Women and Children First,After Fred and Alan
	11:12am Roberto: Companieses?
	👻 11:12am Hughie Considine: Glen Jones dubbed the great DJ Joe "The Animal" Belock yesterday and Joe was quite gracious about it. They had a nice discussion about Tim McCarver's influence.
	11:13am Dano59: ↳ Dano59 @11:11 about 5,000 (at least) records, tapes and CDs; probably a lot more. plus music books and mags. Being a music journalist and then a DJ later on have really emptied my wallet and filled my walls over the years.
	11:13am HyperDose: Fred and Alan! Loved your call-in two weeks ago. Please check in with us again soon!
	👻 11:13am Hughie Considine: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:12 Hello, Fred and Alan. Many of us start our Mondays this way.
	👻 11:13am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:06 I'll be waiting with my squirtguns at the ready!
	11:14am Creature Boy: Oh Toni
	11:14am love2laf: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:00 Using Discogs, and leaving the password to your account could be a great way to save your collection from going cheap.
	11:14am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @11:13 Camo ponchos all around!
	11:15am morphe': Not picturing Fred and Alan on the ACCU, but happy to be wrong...
	👻 11:15am tim from washington: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:11 Cool! Thanks. Any info on how records were assigned to each label as time went by?
	👻 11:15am Webhamster Henry: I have a few hundred that were my father's and brother's records. I need to stick em on Discogs because my local vinyl friendly stores don't want classical records (of damaged covers, thanks water leak in my brother's closet)
	11:15am Joe McG: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:12 Hey Fred and Alan! Thanks for saying hello. We in the office LOVE when you guys are on.
	11:16am Fred And Alan: The Listeners Are Great. We shared our stories and we ended up in their Hearts. We want to know your stories too
	👻 11:17am Hughie Considine: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:15 Classical LPs don't seem to get a lot of respect on discogs, at least from what I've seen. My classical LPs are the least valued of all my stuff, at least according to discogs.
	👻 11:17am tim from washington: I'm volunteering during the second week of the Marathon this year. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. I'm pretty excited about it.
	11:17am morphe': ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:15 Academy Records in NYC, but that might be logistically impossible for you???
	👻 11:18am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Bouree" by "Véronique Chalot" I feel the need to point out that Jethro Tull also had a song called "Bouree" (although this ain't it) but also had a song called The Whistler. So it all makes sense.
	11:18am love2laf: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:17 Large amount of classical in the collection here, and I know there's a good chunk of high value LPs in there.
	11:18am Fred And Alan: Please let us know similar experiences you all have. We tell the truth and shared our life and stories
	11:19am Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Bouree" by "Véronique Chalot" Bouree was the great dance craze of 1600
	👻 11:19am DjLorraine: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:16 Feb 9th in the archives! I was thinking i wouldn't hear you guys until the marathon.
	11:19am Dean: This Bourrée brings to mind the glorious discography of René Clemencic and his various ensembles. Tull's Bourrée was Bach, wasn't it?
	👻 11:19am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Bouree" by "Véronique Chalot" This is great! I'm not very well versed in French folk but it seems quite ancient and a world unto itself.
	👻 11:20am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:17 ... or anywhere else! I have a lot of these Walter Giesecking Mozarts, and he was a kind of a Nazi, but apparently a brilliant musician.
	11:20am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Branle / La Peronelle" by "Malicorne" Well this is the logical choice to follow the last one!
	11:21am Fred And Alan: Thanks everyone for your loyal support. Fred and Alan
	11:22am Dean: There are worse places to begin exploring Clemencic than here: https://www.discogs.com/master/293014-Ren%C3%A9-Clemencic-Ren%C3%A9-Clemencic-Et-Ses-Fl%C3%BBtes Gieseking's Debussy is splendid.
	11:22am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @11:17 Leaving the records undefended! While you and K8 are fielding calls for Creamo, I know what I'll be doing!
	11:22am Chris Hiatt: ↳ tim from washington @11:15 From skimming the wiki, it was fairly arbitrary, though Tamla Motown seems to be reserved for markets outside the US.
	11:22am Dano59: ↳ tim from washington @11:15 I always suspected the Gordy label was for lesser Motown acts, or Berry cut himself a bigger slice of the proceeds. (haven't read 'Hit Men' for a long long while)
	👻 11:23am Webhamster Henry: ↳ morphe' @11:17 Because I'm the hipster capital of the Mid Hudson, Kingston, I'm literally around the corner from two vinyl stores.
	👻 11:23am Dave in VT: ↳ Song: "Branle / La Peronelle" by "Malicorne" I'm loving this set! Somewhere in this life I fell in love with French traditional music, which is a love that requires some effort to satisfy from here in the US. Leave it to WFMU and Joe McGasko to give me new musical joy over the airwaves!
	11:25am Dean: For all the Tarantella's you can eat: https://www.discogs.com/master/341874-Atrium-Musicae-de-Madrid-Direction-Gr%C3%A9gorio-Paniagua-Tarentule-Tarentelle
	11:25am Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Tarantella" by "Magic Tuber Stringband" I hope this Tarantella doesn't morph into Pop Goes the Weasel.
	👻 11:25am doctorjazz: Gotta run, great show, thanks Joe!
	11:26am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dave in VT @11:23 Very cool! Does much of this go back to the troubadour tradition and the south of France?
	11:26am clarke: Happy Lundi Gras!!
	11:27am TDK60: I was down in France once, and picked up a radio station playing the most incredible folk. I don't speak French so was lost as to specifics.
	11:28am love2laf: Must go re-stock the woodpile, will listen to the rest in the archives. Loving this gorgeous set, what wonderful music to be introduced to. Cheers everyone, guard your 28 records carefully.
	11:28am Fred And Alan: Thanks Joe McG. Hughie DJ Loraine. Hyper dose. Wonderful people that makes us Happy Fred and Alan
	11:29am love2laf: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:28 As do you both make us happy!
	11:30am Fred And Alan: Thanks Love2Laf. Fred and Alan
	👻 11:31am Dave in VT: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:26 I'm not sure about that. Most of what I know centers around the tradition from Auvergne in central France (lots of bourées) and the recent bal folk revival that has spread all over Europe.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Prabhujee" by "Ravi Shankar" Produced by George Harrison - who noted the 'Chants' album of Gregorian music getting into the Charts - & & wondered why there couldn't be a Hindu counterpart. It wasn't gonna Chart because the sonics of Indian vocalization are not as mellifluous - but the sacred intent succeeds. Love this album.
	👻 11:32am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:22 Damn you! That was your plan all along!
	11:33am Joe Mulligan 🦀: @love2laf that’s a great idea, leaving discogs PW to your loved ones!
	11:36am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dave in VT @11:31 Yah Handy, good question. I love Malicorne's album Pierre de Grenoble. Would love to know if the title track is trad, Grenoble is down there sort of by Auvergne, but just don't know the provenance.
	11:37am Andres: Final strains of Prabujhee are making me think of an MBV song.
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Andres @11:37 Intersting. I always associate Shoegaze with MDMA - as a sensual~emotional textural wash...
	11:39am Andres: Sueisfine.
	11:41am Andres: Repeated Prabhujee was like the repeated Sueisfine.
	👻 11:42am DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Prabhujee" by "Ravi Shankar" i'm uncertain how i know this song by heart..where was i?
	11:42am Joe McG: ↳ Andres @11:41 I guess Sueisfine just as the Lordisfine! :)
	👻 11:42am b!!!: ↳ Song: "Sea Song" by "Caedmon" This is lovely.
	11:42am Dean: "Pierre de Grenoble" = Traditionnel/Arrgt. Gabriel Yacoub.
	11:43am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	11:44am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Ship Captains" by "Meg Baird" Wow, Meg Baird on the show next week! Super cool, Joe! I always appreciate the prominent WFMU sticker in her Bandcamp photo: f4.bcbits.com...
	11:44am clarke: FuZZZZZZZ!!!!!
	11:44am TDK60: I'll try to be here for the Baird interview, Joe. Is she playing around here?
	👻 11:44am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Ship Captains" by "Meg Baird" Good morning Joe and everyone! Arriving late, but loving these tunes. :)
	11:44am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEE!!!!!
	11:45am clarke: u on campus?
	11:45am Joe McG: ↳ TDK60 @11:44 She'll be on the west coast in early March.
	11:46am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dean @11:42 Thanks for looking that up! Lots of primo hurdy-gurdy action on that album.
	11:46am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:45 yup. eating a sammich and getting ready for classes. on the job until 10 tonight.
	11:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @11:44 Yah, just West Coast dates: www.megbaird.com... That's what we get for living in this cultural backwater, TDK60!
	👻 11:46am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Ship Captains" by "Meg Baird" Can't wait for the interview, Joe! Can you slip her a couple Hamiltons to help get Heron Oblivion going again? I'll pay you back later.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:46 Meet us at Tim's place when you're done. And bring your WFMU record bag. We got a plan.
	11:47am Joe McG: ↳ tim from washington @11:46 Ha ha, I'll be sure to bring it up.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:46 that's early for sammich; however, i require some sustuenance, meself.
	11:48am Son Of Pantz: ↳ tim from washington @11:46 Joe's good for it. He's got all them WFMU bucks.
	11:48am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Ship Captains" by "Meg Baird" The Garbageman played some Espers on his show a couple months back, blew my mind. And down the rabbit hole I went.
	👻 11:48am tim from washington: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:46 Hey prof! You know, eating a sandwich is something I'm really good at too.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ tim from washington @11:48 but.. do you have a professorship in that field?
	11:52am Stashu: Are these beautiful notes supposed to calm nerves? Because it’s working.
	👻 11:52am tim from washington: ↳ clarke @11:49 That's a sore subject, pal. I was up for tenure once but it's too painful to recount how I blew my golden opportunity in Sandwich Studies.
	11:52am clarke: i bet it had to do with lack of po-boy knowledge.
	11:52am Joe McG: ↳ Stashu @11:52 STASHU!!
	11:53am Dean: Clemencic's regular hurdy-gurdy player, the late René Zosso, was the real deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nxY7vfLKrM
	11:53am chris_in_space: I've enjoyed this morning's flight very much. Good one, @Joe McG.
	👻 11:54am 12539: Thank! You! Joe McGasko!
	11:54am TDK60: Gracias, Monday Joe.
	11:54am Hubig Pie: I not so good at sandwich eating. It's usually disassembled after a couple of bites
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Oh, shoot! How'd it get so late? Thanks, Joe! Looking forward to next week already!
	👻 11:54am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Bird" by "Mary Lattimore" Wow! That was really good. Thanks for the great show today, Joe!
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! I hope you have a swell day and week. See you next time!
	11:55am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim from washington @11:48 it takes a lot of practice, but anyone can become good at sammich eating. even clarkEEEEEE. no degree or professorship needed.
	11:55am clarke: i semi-woke-up having a whistling dream. thanks, joe mcg!! @Hubig - keep on trying!
	👻 11:55am San Pedro Girl: Thanks Joe!
	👻 11:55am tim from washington: ↳ Hubig Pie @11:54 Never give up hope, buddy!

	11:58am listener james from westwood: Thanks, Joe!
	11:59am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Thanks for another great show to start the week, Joe!
	11:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Branle / La Peronelle" by "Malicorne" I'm not positive, but I do think "branle" might be risqué. Just remembered that.
	11:59am Deano de los Muertos: Thanks Joe
	11:59am Deano de los Muertos: Let the Joe-block continue!

	9:11am MiraB: Good morning! Love this. Always wondered what that song was on double dip recess. Thank you for such a fun set Joe!
	9:12am Gerry from Miami: @Hughie Considine. HUT SUT RALSTON ON THE RILLA RA, WITH A BRALLA BRALLA SUET!
	9:12am Tara: It's double dip recess!!! Where's Roger?
	9:13am Q: Whatta show for today! Thx Joe! This is perfect mojo.
	9:13am Joe McG: Good morning, everyone! Believe it or not, "The Happy Whistler" was my theme song for a couple of years back in the day before the Yips came along.
	9:15am Handy Haversack: It was Monday morning when I got up to feed the monsters and Saturday morning by the time I got to the kitchen!
	9:15am HyperDose: Well the happy whistling couldn't have represented two better guys, I say!
	9:15am alan the painter: ...smile returning to my lips, waking , fog clearing , caught the tail o'thee Pigeon... nOw laughing 4 coFFee...
	9:16am love2laf: ↳ Joe McG @9:13 Clearly the perfect piece of music for WFMU DJs! Loving this Monday morning whistling kick off.
	9:17am ?: re-enlistment blues!
	9:18am Mike W.: All this and no Fred Lowery yet!
	9:18am Joe McG: I hope most of you are whistling without the work part.
	9:19am whistler's mother: if only...
	9:19am Dano59: ... is this going to end up overlooking the 'Frisco' Bay?
	👻 9:19am Yetz: ↳ Joe McG @9:18 today was one of those "surprise" days off for me
	9:20am gauche knee: Morning Joe & all! Loving the whistling songs, a fav since childhood…still can’t whistle tho,lol.
	9:20am Dano59: with 'The Happy Whistler' on the speaker before i entered the chat, for a moment i thought Roger was filling in.
	9:20am Edgar from Maine: They're not just making me work on Presidents Day but also on Family Day. It's doubly unfair.
	👻 9:20am LastWhiteRhino: As Lauren Becall once said, "You just put your lips together and blow."
	9:21am TDK60: Good morning, Joe.
	9:21am Dano59: ↳ Joe McG @9:13 well that explains it. Always the original.
	9:22am Andres: Good morning. Statutory holiday in this here part of Canada. Family Day. We’re using it to sleep in.
	9:22am Pax: Is this whistling getting a reaction from anyone's dog ?
	9:22am Dano59: and now I'm wondering if George W. whistled after saying "that was some weird shit" on 1/20/17.
	9:23am The Butterman: ↳ Pax @9:22 Yep! And I don’t even have a dog.
	👻 9:23am LastWhiteRhino: A shout out to all the mother's of all these whistlers !
	👻 9:24am Hughie Considine: ↳ Gerry from Miami @9:12 That's the one! There's no whistling in it, but this stuff just put me in mind of it.
	9:24am Dano59: let's hope the dogs are paying attention
	9:24am Joe McG: What's worse: Listening to someone practicing whistling or someone learning the clarinet?
	9:25am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Joe McG @9:24 Clarinet by a long shot. Oh those squeaks!
	9:26am whistler's mother: I'm changing my name to TOOTS
	9:26am Pax: ↳ The Butterman @9:23 😅lol !
	9:26am billylondon: Wow love this whistle set!
	9:26am Joe McG: ↳ whistler's mother @9:26 Good move!
	9:27am whistler's mother: ↳ Joe McG @9:26 toots suite!
	9:27am MayJillar: I had a boss who always whistled when he went to the bathroom. So if there was whistling you always knew who was in the stall. In retrospect it was probably him self consciously announcing his presence while maybe tying to hide other noises.
	9:27am whistler's mother: thanks for this set, joe, it's helping me survive the morning
	9:27am Handy Haversack: My dad would tell me he used to win whistling contests when he was a kid. He grew up during the Depression, so I guess that was a thing?
	9:28am whistler's mother: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:27 whistling is free
	9:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ whistler's mother @9:28 I'm sure Zuck and Musk are looking for a way to monetize it.
	👻 9:30am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Happy Feet" by "Quincy Jones" Burt may be gone, but we still have Quincy.
	9:30am Edgar from Maine: I have a musician friend who's an artful whistler. His day job is painting houses and his boss (also a musician) strictly forbids whistling.
	9:30am Joe McG: ↳ MayJillar @9:27 There's a guy in my apartment building who does that every time he comes in the building, like he's announcing himself.
	9:31am Andres: Holding steady for Jiminy Cricket.
	👻 9:31am Webhamster Henry: Mrs. Elva Miller's whistling secret is sucking on ice cubes.
	9:31am Edgar from Maine: In Mexico back in the 1970s the street vendors would whistle their specific jingles when they came by so you could get your knives sharpened, hand off old newspapers and get hot tamales.
	9:32am Triple G in NYC: As good of a time as any to admit to quasi-strangers ... I'm a mediocre whistler
	9:32am TDK60: Joe, can we get some baritone barbershop singer after this? My ears are ringing.
	9:32am Rich from Wading River: My dog enjoyed that whistling set
	9:33am GeorgeSimian: What? No Jealous Guy?
	👻 9:33am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Joe McG and all!!! solid first set
	👻 9:33am LastWhiteRhino: What is the best liquid to whet one's whistle ???
	9:34am pmcWhenever: whistling in the face of monday is a sound strategy.
	9:34am Pax: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:27 So did mine, and they didn't take anything for granted. In fact when anything came there way, they kept it whether they had use for it or not. Let me tell you that crap piled up over the year's.
	9:36am Edgar from Maine: My wife turns off the radio when she hears xylophones and/or autotune.
	9:37am TDK60: I really dislike the triangle. (Unless it's classical music.)
	👻 9:37am Hughie Considine: Whistling well, however, takes some skill. I've never gotten the hang of it. Very limited range. Any tips?
	9:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☽Monday FMUvianz ~
	9:37am GeorgeSimian: My wife turns off the radio when she hears WFMU!
	9:37am Hi from Holland: Aloha! As Glenn Miller said, you' ve just got to be "In The Mood"
	9:38am whistler's mother: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:29 & chatGPT it :(
	9:38am Toothgrinder Tom: I wish clarinets were more popular in the culture at large.
	9:38am Toothgrinder Tom: But I’ll take a soprano saxophone.
	9:39am alan the painter: piccolo or violin chasing the orchestra around, eAratating/irritating...
	9:39am Toothgrinder Tom: They were husband and wife (Toots and Ellis Regina).
	9:39am Ogle: hot take- harmonica IS a whistle
	9:40am iiibeat: Encountered a whistler in the grocery last evening. What else could I do but whistle too!
	9:40am Edgar from Maine: ↳ GeorgeSimian @9:37 Ha!
	9:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As similar as Clarinet & Sax are - I find the 'squeak potential' of Clarinet notably greater. (Harder to play.) Sax was distinct in having a Reed but being made of Brass like a Horn. All of which is off-topic...
	👻 9:41am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:37 can you whistle on the inhale as well as the exhale? I feel like some of the notes are easier to do on the inhale.
	9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Ogle @9:39 Don't think so. Harmonica is a lot of Reeds... If considering one's lips & face a reed - maybe.
	9:43am Roberto: Unsolicited public whistling pisses me off. Both the musical kind and the harassment kind.
	9:43am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:40 Yeah clarinet's more squeak prone due to the open holes, I think. So unforgiving. Not the case with sax, those squeaks tend to happen due to clamping down on the reed too hard.
	9:43am HyperDose: When I whistle on the inhale it sounds like a siren
	9:44am ?: Some blonde once said "just put your lips together & blow' Joe ;)
	👻 9:44am DjLorraine: Lovely first set Joe!
	👻 9:44am Brian in UK: Joe, so no Ronnie Ronalde, the yodelling whistler. www.ronnieronalde.com
	9:45am Barefoot Jimmy G: Thanks for "Trap Door"!
	9:45am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @9:44 I played him on my recent fill-in for Stashu, though! :)
	9:46am TDK60: I'm not very sure but I think the Lovin' Spoonful patterned their title of an instrumental on their "Daydream" after "The Big Noise from Winnetka." It's called "Big Noise From Speonk" and is a groovy rock instrumental. I'd do more serious research but I have to do the dishes.
	9:46am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @9:46 "Daydream" album.
	9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Now - a flute is like a whistle in that it's just air passing over an aperture - & from your lips @ that ...okay I suppose every instrument involving air could be a whistle - up to massive pipe organs...
	9:47am Mister Dobalina: Cool track, Joe...
	9:47am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @9:43 Not that I've ever been on the receiving end of the harassment kind :/
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @9:41 Certainly easier on exhale. We have a new pup & she does respond well to the whistle. Never use fingers to assist. (whistling that is)
	👻 9:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Trap Door" by "T Bone Burnett" I remember seeking out the solo T-Bone stuff in the '90s and gradually amassing them all. Now I see them in the Budget bins all the time and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
	👻 9:47am DjLorraine: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:36 Sometimes the xylophone is subtle
	9:48am Handy Haversack: I wonder if there are (or were) spoken languages that incorporate whistling as a meaning-bearing sound.
	9:48am GeorgeSimian: Didn't Timbuk 3 have a big hit? That song was good!
	9:49am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Facts About Cats" by "Timbuk 3" Fact: I like cats
	9:49am HyperDose: ↳ Brian in UK @9:47 I could never nail the finger whistle. It's certainly louder that way
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...of course - all Music is air. Okay. Everything is just a whistle.
	9:49am Edgar from Maine: Oh jeez ... these Austin people.
	9:49am Baja Joe: Good morning Joe M.
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:48 Only with dodgy false teeth, I would imagine.
	9:50am TDK60: Revrab- IDEA! Let's hold the first ever Annual Air-Whistle Contest. Sorry. Time to do the dishes....
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: ↳ Joe McG @9:45 Joe, will check it out.
	9:51am Stanley Crook, Durham, U.K.: Sop making me think it’s Saturday.
	9:51am Dano59: My old drummer was a huge Timbuk 3 fan; and brought Pat McDonald to the area for a show. My mom was also the only Roger Whittaker fan I ever knew.
	👻 9:51am Hughie Considine: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @9:41 I never tried it on the inhale! Gonna give it a shot. What do I have to lose?
	9:51am Stanley Crook, Durham, U.K.: Stop*
	9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ HyperDose @9:49 Wish I knew how to do the loud fingers in face whistle. Maybe there's YouTubes...
	👻 9:52am yerfriendpaul: ↳ HyperDose @9:49 Same here! Not big on my wishlist but it wouldn’t mind doing it just once
	9:53am Pax: Ya ever hear a individual that can whistle so loud that it temporarily deafens you.
	9:53am Roberto: ↳ Song: "All Men Are Liars" by "Nick Lowe" Proto-RickRolling.
	9:55am Handy Haversack: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:52 Same. Apparently whistling ability is not strongly genetic!
	9:55am Baja Joe: ↳ Song: "All Men Are Liars" by "Nick Lowe" So true, or am I lying
	👻 9:55am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All Men Are Liars" by "Nick Lowe" Cool version!
	9:55am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Roberto @9:53 Truth! I love Nick Lowe.
	👻 9:56am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:51 I can't do it, but my sister can do that whistle very loudly.
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Kirsty!
	👻 9:57am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All Men Are Liars" by "Nick Lowe" Lowe did a cool remake of Cruel to be Kind with Wilco backing him up.
	9:57am Dano59: ↳ Song: "There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He'... I usually play the country version but this is pub-rock greatness!
	👻 9:58am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies!
	9:58am Dano59: ↳ doctorjazz @9:57 yep, not long after Wilco covered 'I Love My Label'[ to launch their own label; and went on tour with Nick.
	9:58am Roberto: My dad used to be able to summon a cab anywhere, anytime with two fingers under the tongue. He was raised in Brooklyn in the '30s/'40s.
	10:00am Pax: If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'. If those words could actually kill practically all the earths population would be dead.
	10:00am Baja Joe: ↳ Song: "Op" by "Svaneborg Kardyb" My doggie perked up when this tune started.
	10:01am Joe McG: ↳ Baja Joe @10:00 I like when dogs like the tunes!
	10:01am Brendan: Hi Joe and fellow listeners, sorry I missed Nick Lowe, but I caught the tail end of that Elvis thing. That was a hoot.
	10:02am On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog: ↳ Song: "Op" by "Svaneborg Kardyb" Liking this change of pace as well
	10:03am Mark Hurst: Hi Joe, hi all!
	10:04am Brendan: Now that is a KardyB I can get behind!
	10:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @9:58 Under the tongue ? Hm. I don't get it... How hard can it be...
	10:05am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha! @Mark: Hi, Mark!
	10:06am Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:04 Well, two fingers under the tongue and an exhalation.
	10:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...always wanted to whistle Harmonies with somebody - like the AndyGriffith theme. The human race, however, is too jaded for this.
	10:07am Son Of Pantz: Beautiful little song. Haunting...
	10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @10:06 ...maybe then the fingers taking the place of the lower lip in 'normal' whistling - creating a small but more stable aperture...
	10:10am Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:08 yes
	👻 10:10am Brian in UK: Never blown bubbles with bubble gum & never wanted to for that matter. There I have written it.
	10:11am Phillippe: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:08 I never learned how to whistle. Tried like hell many times, just a skill that evades me. Probably one of those natural selection things, because I'm tone deaf and someone would've killed me for constantly whistling off key.
	10:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ Mark Hurst @10:03 Hey hey, Mark Hurst!
	10:12am Pax: With or without fingers, I can't whistle worth a damn.
	10:12am morphe': Great book for kids of all ages - especially young ones yearning to whistle: Whistling for Willie by Jack Ezra Keats
	10:12am HyperDose: ↳ Roberto @9:58 Those cab hailing whistles are something else. Near deafening experience if you're standing next to it
	10:13am Roberto: ↳ HyperDose @10:12 Tell me about it.
	👻 10:13am Webhamster Henry: I'm a tooth whistler, but I can also do lip whistling #versitile
	10:15am Brendan: Re: whistling... if you get a friend that can also do the two finger whistle fairly loud and you both do it, whilst altering the pitch, you'll find really cool frequencies where the two tones will create harmonic overtones that sound like an old radio tuning between frequencies or a theremin going crazy. Easier demonstrated than explained and a moment of sonic serendipity when you discover the phenomenon
	10:16am Phillippe: ↳ Brendan @10:15 That would be cool, but I can envision a scenario in which wine glasses and oriel windows are shattered
	10:17am Pax: This is what i need to hear, something calm and soothing.
	👻 10:17am doctorjazz: I know how to whistle, I just pucker up my lips and blow...
	10:18am morphe': in the bad old/good old East Village 80s-early90s, before they got walkie talkies, the drug dealing family on mid 7th street(C-B) had a whistle system --- an inhaling whistle from the corner meant stop and scurry inside the building(cops/danger) .. the standard exhale whistle(fingers or no??) meant all clear ...
	10:19am Phillippe: ↳ morphe' @10:18 Can you imagine being locked out of a life of crime because you can't whistle?
	10:20am Son Of Pantz: I learned how to whistle by reading the Greek street busker known as Myas. His series begins with "Myas Whistles" with explosive force, but tends to peter out near the end.
	10:22am Andres: Two finger whistle more prominent wherever futbol is played.
	10:23am morphe': Junior... of 7th Street... https://nypost.com/2007/08/06/drug-dealers-new-bag/
	👻 10:23am chresti: I can't do the finger whistle after loosing a bottom tooth.
	👻 10:24am tim from washington: Hi Joe! Hi everybody! I haven't been able to Noise up my Surface in a while. I'm stoked to be here!
	10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♓︎Pisces, Year of Fire 🐏Sheep ~ Goat ~ Ram Kurt Donald Cobain February 20, 1967, Aberdeen, Washington, U.S. - April 5, 1994, Seattle, Washington, U.S.
	10:24am Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Amazonian Tribes Mimicking the Sound of Chainsaws... Niiiiice...
	10:25am Brendan: You can also do a thing where you cup your hands and you can make this really cool sound just like a recorder. By the way you can clasp the two hands together, or interlock the fingers. In either case, you create a sound cavity. Give it a try sometimes. It's really cool to walk in the forest in the evening and create a dialogue with owls in the distance. (aftershow purposes only : https://youtu.be/A9wnb7GizrA )
	10:27am Pax: ↳ chresti @10:23 Is that the tooth of the matter.
	10:27am Listening Out There: Being non-noisy here...
	10:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Really I can just get up & grab a flute or get gittar feedback...
	👻 10:28am chresti: ↳ Pax @10:27 Yes-the tooth of the whistle matter.
	10:28am bobobob plasticland Milwaukee: timbuk 3 was a band Pat McDonald and Barbara from Wisconsin..named by both of our good friend Jim Spencer RIP.
	10:29am Brendan: @doctorjazz, one of Lauren's (Slim's) great lines.
	👻 10:29am Hughie Considine: ↳ morphe' @10:18 That's some next-level whistling. I lived on 3rd between B&C in the mid-80s. Good times!
	10:30am ranjit: Reading the messages here inspired me to whistle a little, and my dog woke up to come over and ask me what the heck I was doing
	10:31am Brendan: Or just book Marshall Tucker
	👻 10:31am Webhamster Henry: When our cat was an outdoor cat, we would whistle for him with his special whistle tune and he would come running from a distance!
	10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:31 <3
	👻 10:33am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:31 He's still alive at the age of 21 or 22.
	10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:33 - !
	10:35am PaulRobeson1923: Common Everybody!! Good morningggg
	10:37am Tom in St. Paul: ever seen that SCTV sketch about picking up a hitchhiking Howard Hughes? I always think of that when I hear this song.
	10:37am Kat in Chicago: Let’s do Chuck!
	10:37am Jason from Houston: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:37 LOL
	10:38am iiibeat: They didn't do Chuck!!! So sad.
	10:40am Brendan: Joe, it's your show/thing do what you wanna do.
	10:40am Roberto: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:33 ❤️
	👻 10:40am doctorjazz: ↳ Brendan @10:29 👍
	👻 10:42am DjLorraine: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:31 I had 2 different cats that you take to a park or woods and they would come back when they were called to return to the car.
	10:43am Miles Dougal: oops
	👻 10:43am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Everything Works If You Let It" by "Cheap Trick" Sounded like Everything didn't work...
	10:44am Joe McG: ↳ doctorjazz @10:43 BOTH sides start scratchy!
	👻 10:44am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Everything Works If You Let It" by "Cheap Trick" That's some heavy riffage!
	10:45am Miles Dougal: ah ...45 attached to the 10" cheap trick "nudisk"
	👻 10:45am James in ATL: Woohoo! Cheap Trick! Good morning, Joe.
	10:46am Brendan: That's the spirit
	10:46am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Joe McG @10:44 Joe, curious as to how many 45s you own?
	10:46am love2laf: ↳ Joe McG @10:44 Again I say, life is scratchy :)
	10:47am Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Everything Works If You Let It" by "Cheap Trick" & from the soundtrack to "Roadie " great flick
	10:48am Joe McG: ↳ Chris Hiatt @10:46 Haven't counted lately, but somewhere between 5000 and 6000. Nothin' compared to some of the other DJs here!
	10:48am Brendan: Kooky/ nutty good
	10:49am JG: Sinatra's voice here sounds like his 40s voice. Surprised to see 1960.
	10:49am Creature Boy: Just bought a fairly tall stack of 45s myself
	10:49am love2laf: ↳ Joe McG @10:48 My vinyl collecting hubby has been saying 10,000 LPs for over 2 decades, and yet I've seen him buy a thousand LPs at one sale, and the collection number never goes up. Are all vinyl hounds the same at undercounting?
	👻 10:50am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "River, Stay 'Way from My Door" by "Frank Sinatra" Unpopular opinion here... I think Frank's greatest contribution to music was Nancy. Dissenting opinions are welcome! ;)
	10:50am Joe McG: ↳ love2laf @10:49 Probably! We're embarrassed. :)
	👻 10:52am tim from washington: ↳ love2laf @10:49 love2laf - maybe record collectors can't count higher than 10,000. My counting skills end at around 28 but that might be my own issue. ;)
	10:53am JG: Ricky Neson was way underrated. Really suffered from the Elvis derivative p.o.v. He was so good
	10:53am Chris Hiatt: ↳ tim from washington @10:52 That's where my counting skills end too. That means I have 28 vinyl records!
	10:55am Handy Haversack: Pretty sure "28" is how you write "10,000" in roman numerals.
	10:55am love2laf: ↳ Chris Hiatt @10:53 Is this going to be a WFMU shirt now, I've got 28 vinyl records"
	👻 10:56am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" by "Grace J... Didn't know this version, but this song has certainly attracted a baroque set of cover versions; I'm thinking of Jerry Garcia and Anna Domino.
	10:56am Chris Hiatt: ↳ love2laf @10:55 Yeah, with a graphic of a huge wall of records.
	👻 10:56am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" by "Grace J... Yes!
	👻 10:56am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" by "Grace J... Cool version!
	10:56am Joe McG: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:56 Such an interesting song to begin with!
	👻 10:57am doctorjazz: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:56 I know Jerry's, it's really good!
	10:57am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:55 That math checks out.
	👻 10:58am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @10:56 It really is!
	👻 10:58am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:55 Handy - my fact checking cuz!
	10:58am Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" by "Grace J... Blondie does it too , can't remember if I like theirs or not. I'll have to ask myself when u get a chance
	10:59am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Does anyone have an “exit strategy” for their collection?like at least selling the rare high dollar items?
	👻 10:59am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Superstition" by "Stevie Wonder" As a kid, I found "Superstition" kinda frightening. Same with "Do It Again" by Steely Dan. Dark minor chords and ominous lyrics I guess.
	11:00am HyperDose: Legendary single file this morning, Mr. Joe!
	11:00am Creature Boy: ↳ Creature Boy @10:58 When i* get a chance!
	11:00am Joe Mulligan 🦀: What keeps me up at night (literally sometimes) is my collection gets sold for cheap after I’m gone
	11:01am morphe': ↳ love2laf @10:49 All dealers undercount if possible ...in all trades ...
	11:01am Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @10:59 Grappling with this with my gaming collection right now. I think I might just make a new catalogue and tell one of the major resellers to just make me an offer and send me the shipping labels. We're at absolute critical mass in this four-room railroad apt.
	11:02am Joe Mulligan 🦀: What kind of games Handy?
	👻 11:02am tim from washington: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @10:59 Joe - when I kick the bucket, my family can keep what they want and/or sell the rest. That'll prevent all you vultures from circling around when I'm on my last leg.
	11:02am Baja Joe: Snap, crackle, pop
	👻 11:03am tim from washington: That was a great Single File, Joe!
	11:03am Jack: ↳ JG @10:53 Ricky Nelson was the reason I begged my mother for guitar lessons, and one of the reasons why I play to this day.
	11:03am morphe': Dealers and Grifters .. for years I worked the 6am Saturday In-Loading Security shift for the FMU record fairs .. my job was to watch/prevent the dealers from stealing from each other..
	11:04am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Dibs on any early Negativland you have Tim!
	11:04am Creature Boy: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:00 Tryin to decide whether to leave mine to a library or somethin. I even imagined trying to donate it to FMU& THEN I wondered they might sell some of it for cheap at a record fair dollar table
	11:04am Asheville Jon: SW doing Superstition live on Sesame Street is pretty fantastic
	11:05am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @10:59 Mine is playing vinyl records at dinner every night and getting the 10 year hooked, so she never wants to get rid of them. It's more like a Hail Mary than a strategy, and it could completely backfire.
	👻 11:05am tim from washington: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:04 You damn vultures! Stay away from my records!
	11:06am Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:02 D&D-style table-top role-playing games. Not quite as high-value as records, though a few things are worth something nice these days. About 20 lateral feet of shelf space. I'd like to get that down to 4. And make room for more records ... So, meet up at Tim's place later, right? Midnight raid!
	11:06am JG: Anybody have a basic explanation of what the difference between Tamla and Motown is/was? I know Tamla came first, but why some things released as Tamla and other Motown? How did that work?
	👻 11:07am tim from washington: ↳ JG @11:06 Good question, JG. I'd like to know that too.
	11:08am Son Of Pantz: "Roadie" used to run around the clock on Showtime back in the day.
	11:09am Dano59: Haha - 'Roadie' had a premiere nearby at the tiny Heights Theatre. Not sure what the local connection was; it sure wasn't Mr. Loaf.
	11:10am Creature Boy: @joe a lot of those promo 45s DO have a lousy mono side surprisingly. I DID sorta know that about Lorrie & wuz just thinking bout that . There's a pic of her w Larry ,th parents & the manager dude on the back cover of one of the LPs &wuz just lookin at THAt
	👻 11:10am doctorjazz: The last time I tried to count LPs was 1993-had about 4,000; it's likely doubled or more since then (not to mention a few thousand CD's, a few TB digital music). Daughters don't have any interest (they are music lovers, but strictly Spotify, and are afraid to touch the turntable or stereo, which isn't completely a bad thing...).
	11:10am Hubig Pie: Happy Lunedi grasso you people
	11:11am Dano59: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @10:59 I'm thinking about it; a library to donate the bulk of it to after giving my son first dibs.
	11:11am Chris Hiatt: ↳ tim from washington @11:07 A quick check on the internet indicates Tamla was the first name of the label, and then it was incorporated at Motown a couple years later. Also looks like the label was known as Tamla Motown overseas.
	11:12am Fred And Alan: Great Show. This is Fred and Alan from Pseus Thing With A Hook. and Women and Children First,After Fred and Alan
	11:12am Roberto: Companieses?
	👻 11:12am Hughie Considine: Glen Jones dubbed the great DJ Joe "The Animal" Belock yesterday and Joe was quite gracious about it. They had a nice discussion about Tim McCarver's influence.
	11:13am Dano59: ↳ Dano59 @11:11 about 5,000 (at least) records, tapes and CDs; probably a lot more. plus music books and mags. Being a music journalist and then a DJ later on have really emptied my wallet and filled my walls over the years.
	11:13am HyperDose: Fred and Alan! Loved your call-in two weeks ago. Please check in with us again soon!
	👻 11:13am Hughie Considine: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:12 Hello, Fred and Alan. Many of us start our Mondays this way.
	👻 11:13am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:06 I'll be waiting with my squirtguns at the ready!
	11:14am Creature Boy: Oh Toni
	11:14am love2laf: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:00 Using Discogs, and leaving the password to your account could be a great way to save your collection from going cheap.
	11:14am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @11:13 Camo ponchos all around!
	11:15am morphe': Not picturing Fred and Alan on the ACCU, but happy to be wrong...
	👻 11:15am tim from washington: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:11 Cool! Thanks. Any info on how records were assigned to each label as time went by?
	👻 11:15am Webhamster Henry: I have a few hundred that were my father's and brother's records. I need to stick em on Discogs because my local vinyl friendly stores don't want classical records (of damaged covers, thanks water leak in my brother's closet)
	11:15am Joe McG: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:12 Hey Fred and Alan! Thanks for saying hello. We in the office LOVE when you guys are on.
	11:16am Fred And Alan: The Listeners Are Great. We shared our stories and we ended up in their Hearts. We want to know your stories too
	👻 11:17am Hughie Considine: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:15 Classical LPs don't seem to get a lot of respect on discogs, at least from what I've seen. My classical LPs are the least valued of all my stuff, at least according to discogs.
	👻 11:17am tim from washington: I'm volunteering during the second week of the Marathon this year. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. I'm pretty excited about it.
	11:17am morphe': ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:15 Academy Records in NYC, but that might be logistically impossible for you???
	👻 11:18am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Bouree" by "Véronique Chalot" I feel the need to point out that Jethro Tull also had a song called "Bouree" (although this ain't it) but also had a song called The Whistler. So it all makes sense.
	11:18am love2laf: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:17 Large amount of classical in the collection here, and I know there's a good chunk of high value LPs in there.
	11:18am Fred And Alan: Please let us know similar experiences you all have. We tell the truth and shared our life and stories
	11:19am Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Bouree" by "Véronique Chalot" Bouree was the great dance craze of 1600
	👻 11:19am DjLorraine: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:16 Feb 9th in the archives! I was thinking i wouldn't hear you guys until the marathon.
	11:19am Dean: This Bourrée brings to mind the glorious discography of René Clemencic and his various ensembles. Tull's Bourrée was Bach, wasn't it?
	👻 11:19am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Bouree" by "Véronique Chalot" This is great! I'm not very well versed in French folk but it seems quite ancient and a world unto itself.
	👻 11:20am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:17 ... or anywhere else! I have a lot of these Walter Giesecking Mozarts, and he was a kind of a Nazi, but apparently a brilliant musician.
	11:20am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Branle / La Peronelle" by "Malicorne" Well this is the logical choice to follow the last one!
	11:21am Fred And Alan: Thanks everyone for your loyal support. Fred and Alan
	11:22am Dean: There are worse places to begin exploring Clemencic than here: https://www.discogs.com/master/293014-Ren%C3%A9-Clemencic-Ren%C3%A9-Clemencic-Et-Ses-Fl%C3%BBtes Gieseking's Debussy is splendid.
	11:22am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @11:17 Leaving the records undefended! While you and K8 are fielding calls for Creamo, I know what I'll be doing!
	11:22am Chris Hiatt: ↳ tim from washington @11:15 From skimming the wiki, it was fairly arbitrary, though Tamla Motown seems to be reserved for markets outside the US.
	11:22am Dano59: ↳ tim from washington @11:15 I always suspected the Gordy label was for lesser Motown acts, or Berry cut himself a bigger slice of the proceeds. (haven't read 'Hit Men' for a long long while)
	👻 11:23am Webhamster Henry: ↳ morphe' @11:17 Because I'm the hipster capital of the Mid Hudson, Kingston, I'm literally around the corner from two vinyl stores.
	👻 11:23am Dave in VT: ↳ Song: "Branle / La Peronelle" by "Malicorne" I'm loving this set! Somewhere in this life I fell in love with French traditional music, which is a love that requires some effort to satisfy from here in the US. Leave it to WFMU and Joe McGasko to give me new musical joy over the airwaves!
	11:25am Dean: For all the Tarantella's you can eat: https://www.discogs.com/master/341874-Atrium-Musicae-de-Madrid-Direction-Gr%C3%A9gorio-Paniagua-Tarentule-Tarentelle
	11:25am Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Tarantella" by "Magic Tuber Stringband" I hope this Tarantella doesn't morph into Pop Goes the Weasel.
	👻 11:25am doctorjazz: Gotta run, great show, thanks Joe!
	11:26am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dave in VT @11:23 Very cool! Does much of this go back to the troubadour tradition and the south of France?
	11:26am clarke: Happy Lundi Gras!!
	11:27am TDK60: I was down in France once, and picked up a radio station playing the most incredible folk. I don't speak French so was lost as to specifics.
	11:28am love2laf: Must go re-stock the woodpile, will listen to the rest in the archives. Loving this gorgeous set, what wonderful music to be introduced to. Cheers everyone, guard your 28 records carefully.
	11:28am Fred And Alan: Thanks Joe McG. Hughie DJ Loraine. Hyper dose. Wonderful people that makes us Happy Fred and Alan
	11:29am love2laf: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:28 As do you both make us happy!
	11:30am Fred And Alan: Thanks Love2Laf. Fred and Alan
	👻 11:31am Dave in VT: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:26 I'm not sure about that. Most of what I know centers around the tradition from Auvergne in central France (lots of bourées) and the recent bal folk revival that has spread all over Europe.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Prabhujee" by "Ravi Shankar" Produced by George Harrison - who noted the 'Chants' album of Gregorian music getting into the Charts - & & wondered why there couldn't be a Hindu counterpart. It wasn't gonna Chart because the sonics of Indian vocalization are not as mellifluous - but the sacred intent succeeds. Love this album.
	👻 11:32am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:22 Damn you! That was your plan all along!
	11:33am Joe Mulligan 🦀: @love2laf that’s a great idea, leaving discogs PW to your loved ones!
	11:36am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dave in VT @11:31 Yah Handy, good question. I love Malicorne's album Pierre de Grenoble. Would love to know if the title track is trad, Grenoble is down there sort of by Auvergne, but just don't know the provenance.
	11:37am Andres: Final strains of Prabujhee are making me think of an MBV song.
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Andres @11:37 Intersting. I always associate Shoegaze with MDMA - as a sensual~emotional textural wash...
	11:39am Andres: Sueisfine.
	11:41am Andres: Repeated Prabhujee was like the repeated Sueisfine.
	👻 11:42am DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Prabhujee" by "Ravi Shankar" i'm uncertain how i know this song by heart..where was i?
	11:42am Joe McG: ↳ Andres @11:41 I guess Sueisfine just as the Lordisfine! :)
	👻 11:42am b!!!: ↳ Song: "Sea Song" by "Caedmon" This is lovely.
	11:42am Dean: "Pierre de Grenoble" = Traditionnel/Arrgt. Gabriel Yacoub.
	11:43am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	11:44am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Ship Captains" by "Meg Baird" Wow, Meg Baird on the show next week! Super cool, Joe! I always appreciate the prominent WFMU sticker in her Bandcamp photo: f4.bcbits.com...
	11:44am clarke: FuZZZZZZZ!!!!!
	11:44am TDK60: I'll try to be here for the Baird interview, Joe. Is she playing around here?
	👻 11:44am San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Ship Captains" by "Meg Baird" Good morning Joe and everyone! Arriving late, but loving these tunes. :)
	11:44am prof.fuzz: ClarkEEEEEEE!!!!!
	11:45am clarke: u on campus?
	11:45am Joe McG: ↳ TDK60 @11:44 She'll be on the west coast in early March.
	11:46am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dean @11:42 Thanks for looking that up! Lots of primo hurdy-gurdy action on that album.
	11:46am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:45 yup. eating a sammich and getting ready for classes. on the job until 10 tonight.
	11:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @11:44 Yah, just West Coast dates: www.megbaird.com... That's what we get for living in this cultural backwater, TDK60!
	👻 11:46am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Ship Captains" by "Meg Baird" Can't wait for the interview, Joe! Can you slip her a couple Hamiltons to help get Heron Oblivion going again? I'll pay you back later.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:46 Meet us at Tim's place when you're done. And bring your WFMU record bag. We got a plan.
	11:47am Joe McG: ↳ tim from washington @11:46 Ha ha, I'll be sure to bring it up.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:46 that's early for sammich; however, i require some sustuenance, meself.
	11:48am Son Of Pantz: ↳ tim from washington @11:46 Joe's good for it. He's got all them WFMU bucks.
	11:48am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Ship Captains" by "Meg Baird" The Garbageman played some Espers on his show a couple months back, blew my mind. And down the rabbit hole I went.
	👻 11:48am tim from washington: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:46 Hey prof! You know, eating a sandwich is something I'm really good at too.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ tim from washington @11:48 but.. do you have a professorship in that field?
	11:52am Stashu: Are these beautiful notes supposed to calm nerves? Because it’s working.
	👻 11:52am tim from washington: ↳ clarke @11:49 That's a sore subject, pal. I was up for tenure once but it's too painful to recount how I blew my golden opportunity in Sandwich Studies.
	11:52am clarke: i bet it had to do with lack of po-boy knowledge.
	11:52am Joe McG: ↳ Stashu @11:52 STASHU!!
	11:53am Dean: Clemencic's regular hurdy-gurdy player, the late René Zosso, was the real deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nxY7vfLKrM
	11:53am chris_in_space: I've enjoyed this morning's flight very much. Good one, @Joe McG.
	👻 11:54am 12539: Thank! You! Joe McGasko!
	11:54am TDK60: Gracias, Monday Joe.
	11:54am Hubig Pie: I not so good at sandwich eating. It's usually disassembled after a couple of bites
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Oh, shoot! How'd it get so late? Thanks, Joe! Looking forward to next week already!
	👻 11:54am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Bird" by "Mary Lattimore" Wow! That was really good. Thanks for the great show today, Joe!
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! I hope you have a swell day and week. See you next time!
	11:55am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim from washington @11:48 it takes a lot of practice, but anyone can become good at sammich eating. even clarkEEEEEE. no degree or professorship needed.
	11:55am clarke: i semi-woke-up having a whistling dream. thanks, joe mcg!! @Hubig - keep on trying!
	👻 11:55am San Pedro Girl: Thanks Joe!

	11:59am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Thanks for another great show to start the week, Joe!
	11:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Branle / La Peronelle" by "Malicorne" I'm not positive, but I do think "branle" might be risqué. Just remembered that.
	11:59am Deano de los Muertos: Thanks Joe
