	9:12am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Five O'Clock Whistle" by "Mavis Rivers" can't use that excuse anymore huh

	9:22am Woo: ↳ HesperusWrecked @9:20 Love the Barber of Seville thanks to Bugs
	9:22am Rick A: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @9:20 He was even better in Sweet Charity. I think his scene was one of the most expensive musical numbers in film history up to that point. However, it's a dazzler and Fosse films it with his usual pizzazz!
	👻 9:22am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Pennies from Heaven" by "Louis Prima with Sam But... Louis!
	9:29am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "All My Loving" by "Duke Ellington and His Orchestra" This is great. A fascinating era of his career that I feel doesn't always get its due.

	👻 9:46am Deano de los Muertos: new Flock of Seagulls was not on my Single File bingo card
	9:47am wenzo: Waddupdoe Joe
	👻 9:47am tim: Why have so many 80s and 90s bands turned into skinhead bands?!?! ;)
	9:47am Boomis: I copied the Flock of Seagulls haircut in high school back in the day when their famous video was released. Needed half a jar of Dippity-Do or whatever it was called. No regrets!
	9:47am Joe McG: ↳ tim @9:47 Ha ha, all he needs is the cat to pet. @Boomis: Amazing!
	9:47am wenzo: What was their famous song again? I just know of them from people referencing their hair…
	👻 9:48am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Some Dreams" by "A Flock of Seagulls" By the way, are they the opening band for the upcoming Oasis tour?
	👻 9:48am tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:43 Hey man! How was the celebration on Saturday?
	9:48am TerrDE: And those Hollywood nights in those Hollywood Hills ...

	9:49am Tinley Park Randy: Wow. 40 plus years later and still stuck on same riff.
	9:49am Andres: ↳ Song: "Some Dreams" by "A Flock of Seagulls" Good morning. I was distracted during the mic break but the distinct sound caught my ear. They’ve still got it! And he’s still got the hair! Or maybe wig.
	👻 9:49am tim: ↳ Boomis @9:47 My man!
	9:49am wenzo: @boomis oh yea I do know that one
	👻 9:50am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "She Belongs to Me" by "Bryan Ferry" My favorite Bob Dylan song. "She never ever stumbles, she's got nowhere to fall She's nobody's child, the law don't touch her at all"
	👻 9:50am tim: ↳ Song: "She Belongs to Me" by "Bryan Ferry" I will argue that there is no bad Bryan Ferry record.
	9:50am wenzo: Gets a lot of play on the Entercom 80’s station my old boss used to play at the hardware store
	👻 9:51am chresti: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:50 Agree!
	9:51am TerrDE: A Flock of Haicuts, lol. They opened for the Go Gos after the Go Goes finished blowing the Police off stage (no pun ). Everyone was thru a Flanger, then the mix was flanged
	👻 9:51am tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:50 Cheryl! I'm going to see Nick Lowe and Los Straightjackets at the end of October in Chicago! I'm going with WFMU listener Marie.
	9:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Help the Aged" by "Pulp" My karaoke jam! And the ONE song I'd have wished they played on Friday when we saw them. But I cannot complain. What an amazing show.
	9:54am Joe McG: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:52 What was the highlight, Handy?
	9:54am Listener John from NJ: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:52 Where was Pulp playing?
	9:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe McG @9:54 Wow. Honestly, opening with I Spy was such a baller move that I was kind of blown away from the jump! And Common People was as anthemic and cathartic as anything I could imagine. Honestly, it was highlights all night long, and I was deeply grateful that we managed to score tickets. I'm still kind of flying from it. And hoarse!
	9:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener John from NJ @9:54 Kings Theatre, Brooklyn.
	9:56am lankylad: I remember watching a morning TV show back in England years ago, and Marianne Faithfull specifically mentioned this song as one she liked. It was in reaction to her being asked a question about her being a sex symbol, and aging
	9:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Help the Aged" by "Pulp" Great spin, Joe. Thanks for that!
	9:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Soft Core" by "Maurice and the Clichés" And I see what you did there!
	9:57am sylvia: I was also at pulp this weekend! such a dream :,)

	👻 9:58am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @9:51 Awesome! If you've never seen NL with LS before, you're in for a treat!
	👻 9:59am tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:58 First time seeing Nick Lowe. I've seen LS once before opening for the band X. It was solid!
	👻 10:00am tim: ↳ Song: "Bul Bul Bul" by "Kit Sebastian" Did Belle get fired?
	10:00am Scott from Boston: Tim, i know Nicks sets have been short…though good
	👻 10:00am tim: ↳ Song: "Bul Bul Bul" by "Kit Sebastian" Oh cool! Pop gamelan! It works well.
	10:00am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:56 When I looked around at all the people making their way into the theater, I noticed they all had huge smiles on their faces (including me and my crew.) I says to myself I says "Oh yeah, this is gonna be good."
	10:01am Listener John from NJ: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:56 Thanks, Mr. Haversack. And that settles it: If I want to see great shows, I have to move bac k to Jersey or NY soon. I am sure Pulp will not perform in Jacksonville FL! I've come to realize I might be one of the people this song is about. But Jarvis might be older than even me . . .
	👻 10:01am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @9:59 You'll have to give us a full report.
	10:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @10:00 We saw efd and Spoony before we even made it through the security line! All the stars were out!
	👻 10:02am tim: ↳ Scott from Boston @10:00 I can live with that. :)
	👻 10:02am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Scott from Boston @10:00 Yeah, no filler all killer. They're a well-oiled machine by this point.
	10:03am Skip Intro: ↳ Song: "Bul Bul Bul" by "Kit Sebastian" Pop needs more gamelan
	10:05am Andres: ↳ Song: "Bul Bul Bul" by "Kit Sebastian" Kit Sebastian, no? I searched out what I thought was a spin-off. Dug it!
	10:07am Joe McG: ↳ Andres @10:05 They've got a lot of damn nerve to be so good-looking!
	10:09am Andres: ↳ Joe McG @10:07 They are that, indeed.
	10:15am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	👻 10:17am waters7: :)
	👻 10:17am Karl: ↳ Jason from Houston @10:15 The Bob James Machine was getting a lot of action this morning, we were worried about that stretch down South--did it stand the strain?
	👻 10:18am Karl: Also, good morning Joe! Everyone!
	👻 10:26am tim: Hey Jason and Karl!
	👻 10:32am tim: ↳ Song: "Let Me" by "Mark Lindsay and Paul Revere & The Ra... This one's a rocker!

	10:34am johnk77: nice work selecter mark lindsay has a very good show on sirius/xm
	10:35am Philip: wild. dig this
	👻 10:39am tim: ↳ Song: "Farm Labor Camp #2" by "Sanford Clark" This makes hump busting work sound quite pleasant.
	10:39am sinner: ↳ Song: "Farm Labor Camp #2" by "Sanford Clark" Oh man.
	👻 10:39am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Last Morning" by "Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show" Dr. Hook! Out of Union City NJ, I recently discovered.
	👻 10:40am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Last Morning" by "Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show" Sounds like it was sewn from the same cloth as Sylvia's Mother ... Sylvia's Great Aunt?
	10:41am Joe McG: ↳ sinner @10:39 At least they got a new bucket.
	10:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Many Sunny Places" by "Scott Fagan" Digression : Stream of Hawai'ian Music : www.hawaiianrainbow.com...
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Single File: a bunch of 45s in a row for about a ... ...you could have a Novel that's just 45s strung together...
	10:45am Roberto: RIP Tito.
	10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:44 ...I guess that's the RawkOpera ideal...
	10:47am Triple G: ↳ Song: "S.O.S." by "ABC" Man, those first few notes had me wondering, "Is this a remix of the Kevin Ayers bed music?"
	10:47am Joe McG: ↳ Triple G @10:47 Ha, I hadn't thought of that!
	10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "S.O.S." by "ABC" Voice a bit Morrissey...y....
	👻 10:49am DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "S.O.S." by "ABC" Reminds me of Tom Dash ;)
	10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:48 ...I guess that's a mode of BritPop Crooning...
	10:51am Joe McG: ↳ DjLorraine @10:49 Funny, Tom Dash and Martin Fry are often mistaken for each other!
	10:52am Mike Lupica: I know I speak for many when I say that Herbie Mann passed up a golden opportunity on his "Push Push" album by NOT calling it "Hot Buttered Mann".
	👻 10:53am Karl: ↳ Song: "Hijack" by "Herbie Mann" Brain churning to remember who sampled/reinterpolated this hook in a hip hop track
	10:53am Joe McG: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:52 Wow, hi Mike!
	10:54am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Hijack" by "Herbie Mann" There's some virtuosity on the claves happening here.
	10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:52 ...album cover - whole thang...
	10:55am Mike Lupica: ↳ Joe McG @10:53 Hello!
	👻 10:56am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Yeah 3²" by "Zager & Evans" Zager really shines on this one. Or is it Evans?
	10:56am Mike Lupica: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:54 If ever there was an album that fails to deliver on its potential as a gatefold... Another option coulda been "Mann Candy"
	10:57am Joe McG: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:56 Evans wrote it, so I assume it's him!
	👻 10:58am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @10:57 Thanks, Joe. I knew there was an answer.
	👻 10:59am tim: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:56 Holy crap! That is a missed opportunity. That would have been perfect for the topless flautist.
	11:00am Joe McG: "Sometimes a man must sink terribly low before he discovers how high he can go." Keep that in mind during this show.
	11:01am traven: ↳ Song: "A Man Needs to Know" by "Walter Brennan" Walter Brennan - three time Oscar winner.
	👻 11:01am Deano de los Muertos: The man worthwhile, Is a man that can smile, When his shirts are too tight in the seat ⛳️

	👻 11:03am doctorjazz: Hi all!
	👻 11:03am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @10:59 I wonder if the nudist flutist was also a Buddhist Judas Priest fan...?
	👻 11:04am tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @11:03 Hahaha!
	11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Joe McG @11:00 ...the FMU credo...
	👻 11:07am Hughie Considine: "Who Is Harry Kellerman..." was the "When the Pawn..." of its day.
	11:08am TerrDE: Dr. Hook opened 3 times before the groups I went for. Great each time. Hilarious w excellent musicianship.
	11:08am TerrDE: Had the Brotherhood guys left the Raiders by then ?
	11:11am TerrDE: Where's Nada Surf based ? They play Rehoboth Beach/Dewey Beach
	👻 11:12am tim: Shemp's great but I'm a Curley fan.
	👻 11:13am tim: Music Trivia night sounds like a blast!
	11:14am TerrDE: At least he wasn't Curly Joe. Why cloning is illegal
	11:15am clarke: someone mention Shemp??
	👻 11:16am tim: ↳ Song: "Morning Sun" by "Bad Company" Yes! Great choice, Joe!
	11:18am drr: "I don't believe I was ever bit by any kind of bee." - LB
	11:18am James from bayonne: This bad company song speaks to me right now (is something I’d never thought I say) but you did it Joe
	11:19am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Morning Sun" by "Bad Company" One of the bad things about classic rock stations is that you never get to hear deep cuts from some bands. Every time I hear something by Free or Bad Company that isn't one of their standards, I really like them. Great track!
	11:19am Triple G: ↳ TerrDE @11:11 They formed in New York; lead Matthew Caws lived around a few different places (some Mid-Atlantic, like D.C.)
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ PKNY @11:19 Any Commercial format = short playlist.
	11:19am Joe McG: ↳ James from bayonne @11:18 :)
	11:19am Picante Mint: ↳ PKNY @11:19 Agreed, I had never heard this before, I love this.
	11:20am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Heading off to deal with alternate side. Thanks, Joe!
	11:21am PKNY: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:19 Agreed, an unfortunately reality
	11:21am Matt Fiveash: I looked it up and the playlist data yields 56 entries with artist "Walter Brennan" on WFMU since 2001. Honestly I would have guessed the number to be significantly higher than that and am disappointed in all of us including myself.
	11:21am TerrDE: Surprisingly good for Bad Company. Even Mick Ralphs didn't suck
	11:22am TerrDE: Two a year
	11:24am clarke: ↳ Song: "Leaving the Party Early" by "trust fund" like Schultz, i know NOTHING about this band.
	11:24am Joe McG: ↳ Matt Fiveash @11:21 I am hanging my head in shame.
	👻 11:24am Karl: ↳ Song: "Hijack" by "Herbie Mann" It was killing me. I had to look it up. "Watch Out Now" by The Beatnuts lifted the hook from "Hi-Jack."
	11:28am Luisa 24: Home !! This is too beautiful
	11:29am Franco Twinkie: Hi Joe. Beautiful music this morning.
	11:31am clarke: nice set, Joseph Matthew.

	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Northern Sky" by "Judy Dyble and Andy Lewis" Oh a MOJO Comp.
	11:34am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tim @11:31 No! I'll have to go back, which I rarely do. But for Phreddy - YES!
	11:35am Kat in the chat: Northern Sky is lovely
	👻 11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Bown Bown Bown" by "Françoise Hardy" Joe, I believe you once played this beauty by a different singer but I can't remember who.

	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Bown Bown Bown" by "Françoise Hardy" Is this a tribute to Andy Bown, the Herd's keyboard player?
	11:39am Par uBi: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:32 I love it!
	11:40am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @11:39 Definitely. :)
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: Joe, great show with this Autumnal set.
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Bown Bown Bown" by "Françoise Hardy" How much of a Career did Françoise have even singing en Anglais ? I feel like I would have had a different awareness of her...
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @11:41 Always associated Autumn with the FolkRawks. Cause I can.
	11:43am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @11:41 Thank you Brian, nice to see you as always.
	👻 11:47am tim: ↳ Song: "La Jeune Fille en Pleurs" by "Myriam Gendron" Yes!
	11:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "La Jeune Fille en Pleurs" by "Myriam Gendron" Totally singular voice. Knew it from the first note.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:47 hey - how was the party??
	👻 11:48am Karl: ↳ Song: "La Jeune Fille en Pleurs" by "Myriam Gendron" I just knew that was Chris Corsano on drums! myriamgendron.bandcamp.com...
	👻 11:49am Charles in Chicago: ↳ βrian @11:39 The list could use a little work, that was just off the top of my head. I'll refine it someday.
	👻 11:49am Karl: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:49 You left out: 15. Spice songs (but not Dune songs)
	11:50am Joe McG: ↳ Karl @11:48 He's like the Richard Thompson of drummers!
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Karl @11:48 good call!
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Joe McG @11:50 Wow.
	👻 11:51am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey all. Slow start today. Glad I got to catch the last hour of the set at least.
	👻 11:51am Karl: Apparently I've had multiple brain failures over the last few years, which is why I don't already own this Gendron record. I plan to get right on that.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:50 wouldn't that be Dave Mattacks? ha ha
	11:52am Tim: I hear Boots of Spanish Leather.
	11:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:48 Tons of fun!

	9:47am wenzo: Waddupdoe Joe
	👻 9:47am tim: Why have so many 80s and 90s bands turned into skinhead bands?!?! ;)
	9:47am Boomis: I copied the Flock of Seagulls haircut in high school back in the day when their famous video was released. Needed half a jar of Dippity-Do or whatever it was called. No regrets!
	9:47am Joe McG: ↳ tim @9:47 Ha ha, all he needs is the cat to pet. @Boomis: Amazing!

	9:49am wenzo: @boomis oh yea I do know that one
	👻 9:50am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "She Belongs to Me" by "Bryan Ferry" My favorite Bob Dylan song. "She never ever stumbles, she's got nowhere to fall She's nobody's child, the law don't touch her at all"
	👻 9:50am tim: ↳ Song: "She Belongs to Me" by "Bryan Ferry" I will argue that there is no bad Bryan Ferry record.
	9:50am wenzo: Gets a lot of play on the Entercom 80’s station my old boss used to play at the hardware store
	👻 9:51am chresti: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:50 Agree!

	9:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Help the Aged" by "Pulp" My karaoke jam! And the ONE song I'd have wished they played on Friday when we saw them. But I cannot complain. What an amazing show.
	9:54am Joe McG: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:52 What was the highlight, Handy?
	9:54am Listener John from NJ: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:52 Where was Pulp playing?
	9:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe McG @9:54 Wow. Honestly, opening with I Spy was such a baller move that I was kind of blown away from the jump! And Common People was as anthemic and cathartic as anything I could imagine. Honestly, it was highlights all night long, and I was deeply grateful that we managed to score tickets. I'm still kind of flying from it. And hoarse!
	9:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener John from NJ @9:54 Kings Theatre, Brooklyn.
	9:56am lankylad: I remember watching a morning TV show back in England years ago, and Marianne Faithfull specifically mentioned this song as one she liked. It was in reaction to her being asked a question about her being a sex symbol, and aging
	9:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Help the Aged" by "Pulp" Great spin, Joe. Thanks for that!
	9:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Soft Core" by "Maurice and the Clichés" And I see what you did there!

	👻 10:00am tim: ↳ Song: "Bul Bul Bul" by "Kit Sebastian" Did Belle get fired?
	10:00am Scott from Boston: Tim, i know Nicks sets have been short…though good
	👻 10:00am tim: ↳ Song: "Bul Bul Bul" by "Kit Sebastian" Oh cool! Pop gamelan! It works well.
	10:00am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:56 When I looked around at all the people making their way into the theater, I noticed they all had huge smiles on their faces (including me and my crew.) I says to myself I says "Oh yeah, this is gonna be good."
	10:01am Listener John from NJ: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:56 Thanks, Mr. Haversack. And that settles it: If I want to see great shows, I have to move bac k to Jersey or NY soon. I am sure Pulp will not perform in Jacksonville FL! I've come to realize I might be one of the people this song is about. But Jarvis might be older than even me . . .
	👻 10:01am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @9:59 You'll have to give us a full report.
	10:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @10:00 We saw efd and Spoony before we even made it through the security line! All the stars were out!

	10:07am Joe McG: ↳ Andres @10:05 They've got a lot of damn nerve to be so good-looking!
	10:09am Andres: ↳ Joe McG @10:07 They are that, indeed.
	10:15am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	👻 10:17am waters7: :)
	👻 10:17am Karl: ↳ Jason from Houston @10:15 The Bob James Machine was getting a lot of action this morning, we were worried about that stretch down South--did it stand the strain?

	👻 10:39am tim: ↳ Song: "Farm Labor Camp #2" by "Sanford Clark" This makes hump busting work sound quite pleasant.
	10:39am sinner: ↳ Song: "Farm Labor Camp #2" by "Sanford Clark" Oh man.
	👻 10:39am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Last Morning" by "Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show" Dr. Hook! Out of Union City NJ, I recently discovered.
	👻 10:40am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Last Morning" by "Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show" Sounds like it was sewn from the same cloth as Sylvia's Mother ... Sylvia's Great Aunt?
	10:41am Joe McG: ↳ sinner @10:39 At least they got a new bucket.
	10:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Many Sunny Places" by "Scott Fagan" Digression : Stream of Hawai'ian Music : www.hawaiianrainbow.com...
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Single File: a bunch of 45s in a row for about a ... ...you could have a Novel that's just 45s strung together...
	10:45am Roberto: RIP Tito.
	10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:44 ...I guess that's the RawkOpera ideal...
	10:47am Triple G: ↳ Song: "S.O.S." by "ABC" Man, those first few notes had me wondering, "Is this a remix of the Kevin Ayers bed music?"
	10:47am Joe McG: ↳ Triple G @10:47 Ha, I hadn't thought of that!
	10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "S.O.S." by "ABC" Voice a bit Morrissey...y....
	👻 10:49am DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "S.O.S." by "ABC" Reminds me of Tom Dash ;)
	10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:48 ...I guess that's a mode of BritPop Crooning...
	10:51am Joe McG: ↳ DjLorraine @10:49 Funny, Tom Dash and Martin Fry are often mistaken for each other!
	10:52am Mike Lupica: I know I speak for many when I say that Herbie Mann passed up a golden opportunity on his "Push Push" album by NOT calling it "Hot Buttered Mann".
	👻 10:53am Karl: ↳ Song: "Hijack" by "Herbie Mann" Brain churning to remember who sampled/reinterpolated this hook in a hip hop track
	10:53am Joe McG: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:52 Wow, hi Mike!
	10:54am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Hijack" by "Herbie Mann" There's some virtuosity on the claves happening here.
	10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:52 ...album cover - whole thang...
	10:55am Mike Lupica: ↳ Joe McG @10:53 Hello!
	👻 10:56am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Yeah 3²" by "Zager & Evans" Zager really shines on this one. Or is it Evans?
	10:56am Mike Lupica: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:54 If ever there was an album that fails to deliver on its potential as a gatefold... Another option coulda been "Mann Candy"
	10:57am Joe McG: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:56 Evans wrote it, so I assume it's him!
	👻 10:58am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @10:57 Thanks, Joe. I knew there was an answer.
	👻 10:59am tim: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:56 Holy crap! That is a missed opportunity. That would have been perfect for the topless flautist.
	11:00am Joe McG: "Sometimes a man must sink terribly low before he discovers how high he can go." Keep that in mind during this show.
	11:01am traven: ↳ Song: "A Man Needs to Know" by "Walter Brennan" Walter Brennan - three time Oscar winner.

	👻 11:03am doctorjazz: Hi all!
	👻 11:03am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @10:59 I wonder if the nudist flutist was also a Buddhist Judas Priest fan...?
	👻 11:04am tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @11:03 Hahaha!
	11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Joe McG @11:00 ...the FMU credo...
	👻 11:07am Hughie Considine: "Who Is Harry Kellerman..." was the "When the Pawn..." of its day.
	11:08am TerrDE: Dr. Hook opened 3 times before the groups I went for. Great each time. Hilarious w excellent musicianship.
	11:08am TerrDE: Had the Brotherhood guys left the Raiders by then ?
	11:11am TerrDE: Where's Nada Surf based ? They play Rehoboth Beach/Dewey Beach
	👻 11:12am tim: Shemp's great but I'm a Curley fan.
	👻 11:13am tim: Music Trivia night sounds like a blast!
	11:14am TerrDE: At least he wasn't Curly Joe. Why cloning is illegal
	11:15am clarke: someone mention Shemp??
	👻 11:16am tim: ↳ Song: "Morning Sun" by "Bad Company" Yes! Great choice, Joe!
	11:18am drr: "I don't believe I was ever bit by any kind of bee." - LB
	11:18am James from bayonne: This bad company song speaks to me right now (is something I’d never thought I say) but you did it Joe
	11:19am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Morning Sun" by "Bad Company" One of the bad things about classic rock stations is that you never get to hear deep cuts from some bands. Every time I hear something by Free or Bad Company that isn't one of their standards, I really like them. Great track!
	11:19am Triple G: ↳ TerrDE @11:11 They formed in New York; lead Matthew Caws lived around a few different places (some Mid-Atlantic, like D.C.)
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ PKNY @11:19 Any Commercial format = short playlist.
	11:19am Joe McG: ↳ James from bayonne @11:18 :)
	11:19am Picante Mint: ↳ PKNY @11:19 Agreed, I had never heard this before, I love this.
	11:20am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Heading off to deal with alternate side. Thanks, Joe!
	11:21am PKNY: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:19 Agreed, an unfortunately reality
	11:21am Matt Fiveash: I looked it up and the playlist data yields 56 entries with artist "Walter Brennan" on WFMU since 2001. Honestly I would have guessed the number to be significantly higher than that and am disappointed in all of us including myself.
	11:21am TerrDE: Surprisingly good for Bad Company. Even Mick Ralphs didn't suck
	11:22am TerrDE: Two a year
	11:24am clarke: ↳ Song: "Leaving the Party Early" by "trust fund" like Schultz, i know NOTHING about this band.
	11:24am Joe McG: ↳ Matt Fiveash @11:21 I am hanging my head in shame.
	👻 11:24am Karl: ↳ Song: "Hijack" by "Herbie Mann" It was killing me. I had to look it up. "Watch Out Now" by The Beatnuts lifted the hook from "Hi-Jack."
	11:28am Luisa 24: Home !! This is too beautiful
	11:29am Franco Twinkie: Hi Joe. Beautiful music this morning.
	11:31am clarke: nice set, Joseph Matthew.

	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Northern Sky" by "Judy Dyble and Andy Lewis" Oh a MOJO Comp.
	11:34am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tim @11:31 No! I'll have to go back, which I rarely do. But for Phreddy - YES!
	11:35am Kat in the chat: Northern Sky is lovely
	👻 11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Bown Bown Bown" by "Françoise Hardy" Joe, I believe you once played this beauty by a different singer but I can't remember who.

	11:39am Par uBi: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:32 I love it!
	11:40am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @11:39 Definitely. :)
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: Joe, great show with this Autumnal set.
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Bown Bown Bown" by "Françoise Hardy" How much of a Career did Françoise have even singing en Anglais ? I feel like I would have had a different awareness of her...
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @11:41 Always associated Autumn with the FolkRawks. Cause I can.
	11:43am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @11:41 Thank you Brian, nice to see you as always.
	👻 11:47am tim: ↳ Song: "La Jeune Fille en Pleurs" by "Myriam Gendron" Yes!
	11:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "La Jeune Fille en Pleurs" by "Myriam Gendron" Totally singular voice. Knew it from the first note.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:47 hey - how was the party??
	👻 11:48am Karl: ↳ Song: "La Jeune Fille en Pleurs" by "Myriam Gendron" I just knew that was Chris Corsano on drums! myriamgendron.bandcamp.com...
	👻 11:49am Charles in Chicago: ↳ βrian @11:39 The list could use a little work, that was just off the top of my head. I'll refine it someday.
	👻 11:49am Karl: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:49 You left out: 15. Spice songs (but not Dune songs)
	11:50am Joe McG: ↳ Karl @11:48 He's like the Richard Thompson of drummers!
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Karl @11:48 good call!
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Joe McG @11:50 Wow.
	👻 11:51am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey all. Slow start today. Glad I got to catch the last hour of the set at least.
	👻 11:51am Karl: Apparently I've had multiple brain failures over the last few years, which is why I don't already own this Gendron record. I plan to get right on that.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:50 wouldn't that be Dave Mattacks? ha ha
	11:52am Tim: I hear Boots of Spanish Leather.
	11:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:48 Tons of fun!
	👻 11:53am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:52 nice!!
	👻 11:54am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Karl @11:51 I'm trying to slow down on buying records, but this Myriam Gendron is a real temptation.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:54 Get them all!
	👻 11:54am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Karl @11:49 I was trying to keep it to 14, per Borges
